Council Reveals
Poll Results
Two- hundred- twenty students
submitted ballots in the recent
social council poll, according to
Cal Fernlund, assistant chairman
of the social council.
Basketball was the best-liked
social activity by all students who

next on the girls' list, while men
preferred football games, winter
sports, and swimming.
Least liked by both women and
men are formal dress parties.
Stag • parties also received a low
vote from both sexes. Seminary
students like stag parties least.
Basketball was th' .-
sport of those listed on the ballot,
getting 174 out of 220 votes. Win-ter
sports came next, followed by
football games and roller skating.
Of the 220 who voted, 91 were
women, 94 college men, and 35
seminary students.
The social activities on the bal-lot
were roller skating, game
nights, basketball games, swim-ming
parties, formal dress parties,
stag parties, winter sports, bowl-ing

Page 2 THE CLARION Friday, January 29, 1954
Editorial
It's Wednesday night and again the din-ning
hall gives the appearance of a fashion-able
cafeteria. The tables are lighted by.
flickering candles, soft pleasant dinner mu-sic
floats across the room, the food being
served is excellent, the atmosphere is
perfect for a delightful dinner. Properly
dressed students begin entering the din-ing
hall when all of a sudden the inevitable
happens. Here came a few students attired
in clothing which under the circumstances
are completely boorish and signify their own
sheer laziness or inferior upbringing. The
trouble is that this scene is not a rarity but
a much too common occurance. Knowing.
Bethel students I would not attribute this
problem to inferior upbringing but to the
evil of our day—"a lust for laziness."
Little do these individuals realize that the
dining hall goes through a lot of trouble in
order to make it pleasant for the students
and to give them a lovely dinner atmo-sphere.
Little do they realize that the
school has spent money for a record player
and records in order to provide them with
excellent dinner music. Little do they real-ize
that as members of our society they are
obligated to do their share in making such
things as dress up nights enjoyable by con-forming
to the practice. It is pathetic that
at a school like Bethel we have such anti-social,
boorish and thoughtless behavior by a
number of students who refuse to co-operate
in the things in life which are considered to
be the finer and more pleasant practices.
It's time the offenders were made aware of
the feeling of those who appreciate dress
up nights and enjoy them. Let's make this
problem one of the past by everyone com-plying
to the practice of Wednesday night
dress up dinners.
Will You Help?
by Palosaari and Richardson
You are invited to help make this page
AS,t+,-- The feature editors are continually
at Their own fingernails and each
others' throats for want of the best possible
articles to print here.
Those individuals wishing to submit ar-ticles
of humor, special or human interest,
devotion, or creative imagination are en-couraged
to do so. It is our desire to make
this page of as high caliber as possible. The
person contributing articles does not need
a special invitation to write for the CLAR-ION;
he may hand to us at anytime what-ever
free lance material he has produced.
In addition to any contributions in the
line of articles, it would be extremely help-ful
to the feature editors if comments of
commendation or censure would be made
directly to them before others are ap-proached
or reproached. Inasmuch as in a
very real way they determine largely what
is included on this page, a direct reference
to them of helpful criticism or severe cor-rection
would be most effectual.
Although in this very issue and certain
others we have infringed upon our own
rules, nevertheless it is the policy of this
paper not to print letters to the editor un-less
the writers sign their names. In each in-stance
it is not always necessary that a per-son's
ful name be printed, but we should
know each author for each letter.
By working together rather than in worth-less
contempt of one another, we sincerely
hope to issue a better and more profitable
feature page. Since you have thus been in-vited
to contribute to this page, we hope
that you will be fair and kind in your eval-uation
and .conversation concerning those
who do write our articles.
Notice: Due to recent developments we
are sorry that this issue will not run
the second installment of the all-college
essay contest. The abundance of other
material hampered the including of the
usual essay article. Also, there arose
among the editorial staff some question
concerning the selection of the sopho-more
prize-winning essay.
Water, Water
Everywhere
Ronnie Poiosaari
It is my firm belief that a person should
aim for the top and become very profic-ient
in whatever he undertakes. That is
why I look with great sadness at this
year's crop of waterfighters, who are bas-ically
unskilled. Waterfighting is a sport,
and weak waterfighters cast discredit on
the fine American tradition of sports.
Of course, it isn't really necessary to go
into the benefits of waterfighting; but,
for those who are not familiar with the
sport, I suppose I can point out a few
good points. It is one of the most vigorous
and healthful of indoor sports. In it many
more boys get baths, clothes washed, and
floors scrubbed. In fact, if it were not for
waterfights, many would never . . . Well,
maybe that's a step too far, but it is a
very clean sport.
In starting a waterfight, there are two
basic ways which seem best. Find a friend
who has slightly irritated you by some
trivial thing like dating your girl or put :.
ting salt in your pajamas. Wait until he
is taking a shower, then get a small pail
of cold water, carefully sneak up and
douse him. He then is is position to start
a counter-attack. Now it may be argued
that some of my friends nev-- seldom take
showers. That is where the second way is
useful. Wait until your friend is in his
room, take a chair and put it in front of
his door, and lean a pail from the seat of
the chair to the door. Then run down the
hall and yell "Telephone for Joe Dokes"—
bingo, you soon have a fine waterfight
going strong.
Once the fight is started it will go along
fine through the middle stage. Just re-member
to have a fresh supply of water
at hand and don't get caught by Wally.
The real test of the waterfight, howev-er,
is the final step leading to victory.
First, concentrate the battle in your op-ponent's
room. The advantage is obvious
when it comes to cleaning up. Then, if
necessary, use a shield, preferably one of
your opponent's shirts. It is surprising
how fast that will ruin his offense.
To achieve a smashing victory, it is
absolutely necessary to have a secret wea-pon.
Retreat and get your opponent very,
very confident. Then lay hold of a can of
Rapid Shave and direct the stream of la-ther
under pressure toward your opponent.
It is amazing what the sticky stream of
lather will do to insure a victory.
.eedivis ta the ecido4
Dear Editor,
There once was a time not too far in the
distant past when you would have felt very
conpicuous if you forgot to dress up on
Wednesday evening. But recently you feel
conspicuous on dress-up night if you have
dressed up. I noticed the distinct differ-ence
in wearing apparel from overall pants
and bright flannel shirts to suits and ties;
from bobbie socks to Sunday dresses and all
the trimmings
The trend toward not-dressing-up seems
to be on the increase lately. This fact dis-turbed
me more than usual last dress-up
night. In a lull in the dinner table convers-ation
I counted nine out of twenty-five fel-lows
who came through the line dressed in
suit coats and ties. In plain words only one
third of the fellows were ready for dress-up
night at that particular moment. Maybe
the percentage was not that high for the
total group. However, a quick glance around
the dining hall would tell you that those
who were dressed up were few and far be-tween
according to former standards. None
of these fellows who neglected to dress up
were basketball players (as if that should
make a difference). Of the numerous offend-ders
were seminary men as well as college
men. Likewise many of the fairer sex were
in their classroom atire. It seems as though
it's the style to slip by the dress-up tradi-tion
by wearing anything just as long as it
serves the purpose.
If dress-up night is not to become a has-been
around Bethel we are going to have
to do something about dressing up on Wed-nesday
nights.
A Dressed-up Observer
by President Wingblade
If speech is silver and silence is gold,
then it behooves each of us to learn how to
be attentively and thoughtfully silent.
Often when there is a testimony or prayer
meeting the leader becomes rather ner-vous
if there is silence. But if the Holy
Spirit is present in the meeting there is no
need to worry about the silence. Something
is happening.
How prone we are to talk. And conver-sation
can be very edifying and inspiring.
But a great saint of other days has said
that the average person cannot talk very-long
before he runs out of the high and ed-ifying
— and then he is likely to speak that
which is idle chatter and even sin.
Good listeners are much appreciated and
in great demand. If you would be a real
friend you must learn how to listen. And
if you would enter into the deepest exper-iences
with God, you must learn how to be
still.
The great prophets were great listeners—
Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, and also John
the Baptist and Paul. Ma y of Bethany
loved most to listen to Him, and some think
that she understood better His work of re-demption
than even Peter and James and
John — before the crucifixion.
Carlyle speaks of "the eternal silence."
"Be still and know." We find out by being
still and listening. A student of other years
would come into our office to seek advice —
and then do most of the talking. We are
prone to do that with God.
Would you be appreciated by your
friends, and would you know God's will?
Learn to be still and to listen.
Cold War Casualty
by Rip Moore
BNS -L A new outburst of hostilities on
the front lines threatened a renewal of the
cold war on January 19, army sources re-vealed
yesterday.
Cpl. Cal Fernlund, who was standing
guard on a manhole cover on the Arona
sector near Larp ridge at the time of the
attack, told reporters his story in the base
hospital at Betheljong. "Before I knew what
was coming off they were on top of me.
They stabbed me in the face in the ears in
the chest in the arm in the ears—I turned
and ran—there was nothing to do but run—
my ears were throbbing — my hands dived
for cover — my ears were numb now — they
kept COMill'— millions of 'em —" At this
point in his story, Fernlund broke down
completely.
Cpl. Fernlund was modest, army medics
pointed out. Actually, he stood his ground
against the first attack wave so courage-ously
that he beat his left ear to a bloody
pulp. Now improving, the corporal expects
release from the hospital within a few
months. Skin grafts on the maimed ear
will restore it to almost original condition.
The attack was successfully repulsed, and
no other casualties were reported. However,
all regiments stationed in the Arona sector
have been issued ear muffs.
AXEL ARRIVES
AT BETHEL
by Ronnie and Stretch
Have you noticed a rather strange stu-dent
next to you in any of your classes? If
you have, you may be interested in know-ing
the situation. To the best of my knowl-edge
this is the first time the true story
has come out.
During Christmas vacation I made a pil-grimage
to the heart of Africa to view the
iniana missions. During this trip I acquired
a fairly bright chimpanzee. I grew quite
fond of dear Axel-1 named hkm Axel —
and could not part with him when vacation
was over. The only thing to do was to take
him back to Bethel as a pet.
The trouble started the first day I took
him to the student center. Frightened by
the noise of the malted milk machine, he
tore from my grasp and bolted up the
stairs. To our great misfortune he by
chance got in the registration line. Some-how
he got signed up for advanced basket
weaving, prehistoric sociology, communica-tions,
and freshman conference. Now even
then I could have kept poor Axel out of
college by not paying his bill, but unfortu-nately
a sem student nearly laughed at my
chimp. I confess I didn't like that and so
got into an argument with him. Finally,
I told the sem student that not only did
my chimp register but I though he could
get through college and seminary by him-self.
Determined to go through with the
idea, I got Axel to work a couple of days
filling out a student loan application. He
got the loan; he passed the entrance tests
(in fact he was in the upper third); and be-hold,
he was a college student. I have to
admit that, despite my objections, he was
rolled as a special student.
All has not been a bed of roses, but I
soon found several complications connected
with having a chimpanzee in college. The
first such complication was dress-up night.
I had a terrible time with Axel because he
wanted to come in bib overalls and stocking
feet like the rest of the boys. The next
problem was teaching him manners. I
didn't get to eat with him much so he went
with the rest to eat. The only trouble then
was that he learned best by imitation, so
his manners aren't what they should be. But
he can sink a crumpled napkin into a milk
glass with amazing accuracy.
He had a rather depressing influence on
the boys' dorm. There was a general drop
in morale because he was beating every-body
in ping pong. It finally got so bad
that he shut out Torn Warden 11 to 0 twice
in a row. Tom was so depressed he quit
ping pong, went out, and got a job at (of
all places) Monkey Words. After that I
made him quit ping pong.
As far as classes go, it is still too early to
make predictions, but he seems to be doing
pretty good. The only class he really has
had any trouble with was freshman confer-ence.
For some reason he has drastically
overcut that subject. He had a little trouble
with terminology in one of his courses, but
he finally learned two terms ("true" and -
"false") that have been getting him
through.
So far neither of us has been suspended,
but you never know what the future may
bring.

interested in broadening
their knowledge of choral litera-ture,
both sacred and secular, and
in improving their sight reading.
To read through much choral
music that they would otherwise
not sing is the most important
function of this choral group. The
singers will present a concert
sometime in May.

THE CLARION Friday, January 29, 1954 Royals Thump Northwestern
Clothier Plays B-Ball
A newcomer this year to the
Royals' basketeers is Frank Bur-leson,
18, of Brown's Valley, Minn.
Frank, 6 ft. and 157 lbs., has al-ready
proven himself to be a
tremendous asset to the hoopsters.
In high school he excelled in the
fields of football, track, baseball,
and of course, basketball.
Frank, who is a conscientious
student as well as an athletic as-pirant,
is a pre-seminary student
representing the Conservative
Baptists.
"The team is improving all the
time," he expressed himself. "I
feel that all we need is the exper-ience
and then some way to keep
them here after they have a year's
activity on the college level." He
agreed with other squad members
that there seems to be a lack in
school spirit, but perhaps it's due
to the record of wins this season.
Frank operates a clothiers in

Height and River Falls Beat Bethel
by Donn Goss
Tuesday night Bethel again displayed its ever-improving abilities.
The game showed many spots in which the team displayed itself as the
talent loaded crew of early season predictions. Bethel equally matched
River Falls in ability, out-played them with spirit and fight, yet lost—.

of the first quarter Bethel had
pulled up to a fighting distance of
17-26. The improved score came
when Bill Conrad found the bucket
big enough to hit from outside and
Redin proved the inside was also
scoring territory. Rekstad added
another bucket and Harold Erick-son
helped with two.
The second quarter found Bethel
falling off a couple of points, but

Sharp-Shooter Conrad
Shifty Bill Conrad, 18, and a
native of St. Paul, is another new
name on the Royals' list for this
season. An all-around athlete, par-ticularly
in football, baseball, and
golf besides basketball, Bill is a
pre-medical student whose goal is
the mission fields. He mentioned
that his grandparents were mis-sionaries.
Like other team members he
notices a constant impeovement in
all the basic fundamentals of bas-ketball.
"Experience is the thing
that will make our team," he
claimed. Bill also made mention
of the spirit of the team which lie
feels has been tops throughout
the season. "They really want to
play ball!"
Also encouraging to him, and
other hoopsters, was the support
of the student body at the North-western
game. "It sure helps".
Redin Goes Up for "Two"
Bethel Rallies to Top Eagles
The Royals came from behind to stomp their traditional cross-town
rivals, Northwestern Schools, in a thriller last Saturday night in the
latter's fieldhouse 67-51.
The contest, scheduled to begin at 8:15, didn't actually get under
way until 8:40 because the referees forgot to come. However, worse
than this was the fact that after the game had officially begun, the
Royals chose to hold off their scoring for 5 minutes, and then broke
into the scoring column only on a free throw by Conrad. The first
Bethel scoring from the floor came on a hook shot by Redin after the
contest was 7 minutes old.
In the meantime, the Northwes- in for "two" and the Royals were

The first period ended with the were just "more of the same" as
Eagles on top 20-13. coach Del Ray's crew began to in-crease
their lead over the hapless
Eagles.
The hard-fought game featured
3 Eagles warming the bench via
the foulout route, while Bethel
boasted 3 with 4 fouls.
Redin, playing one of his best
games as a Royal, dunked in 24
points-18 from the floor and 6
charity tosses. Playing terrific ball
all evening, he was joined as an
ace by Rekstad, Erickson, and
Steinhaus, all of whom showed up
exceptionally well on rebounds, as
well as general all around good
ball handling.

"A Friendly Christian
Atmosphere."
The fourth quarter found a game
Bethel give all it had and still fall
short. It had cut the River Falls
lead to 8 points with 4 minutes to
go and then Erickson fouled out.
Without Eric, who was a hound
after the ball all night, Bethel
found it no longer had any power
to cope with the River Falls height,
so it slipped to a final score of 66-
83. Still the team showed a po-tential
that coupled with longer
arms and legs would have made it
the victor Tuesday night.
Howard Rekstad had his best
scoring evening of the year. With
a fake and shot that much resem-bled
Redin's he stuffed in 19 points
to show the way for the Royals. He
was strong on the rebounds and
was all any coach could desire.
Harold Erickson ployed his usual
scrappy game and proved again
that he is a valuable asset to coach
Del Ray's team. Bruce Steinhaus
also displayed talent which is help-ing
to strengthen Bethel.
Girl's Volleyball
Final Tomorrow
With East-West and Michigan-
Illinois teams leading, the girls'
volleyball championship goes on
the block tomorrow morning at
11:00 in the fieldhouse. This year's
girls' volleyball program is among
the most successful ever conducted
at Bethel. The girls show real in-terest
and the turnout reminds
one of a chow call.
