Faculty Recital Features Duo-Pianists
School Board Appoints
Lundquist Acting Dean
Rev. Carl Lundqust, president-elect of Bethel College, was recently
appointed by the Bethel school board to, serve as acting dean, tempor-arily
replacing Dean Carlson.
Dr. Carl Burton, chairman of the school board, stated that the board
is in the process of choosing a permanent dean, and even though the
new dean may be appointed in the near future, he will not take office
before next September. Until then, Rev. Lundquist will be acting dean.
Because Rev. Lundquist serves
in other capacities on campus as
well as doing graduate work at the
University in preparation for tak-ing
his position of president next
September, he will not fully serve
the capacity of dean, but will be
overseer of the duties of the dean's
office. The work will be shared by
several staff members.
Rev. Lundquist will begin his
work as acting dean January 1
when Dean Carlson leaves for his
position as Executive Director of
the Baptist Joint Committee or
Public Affairs in Washington, D.C.
Roger Bailey Organizes
Chamber Singing Group
Roger Bailey, instructor in music, announced recently the plans for
the organization of a chamber singer group again on campus. This sing-ing
group, under the direction of Mr. Bailey, is designed to give students
an opportunity for choral work who are unable to belong to any other
singing groups. As it is a smaller group than any other musical organ-ization
on campus the chamber singers will do interesting and various
types of music designed especially for small groups.
No choral experience is neces-sary,
nor is a solo voice a prereq-uisite,
but students with an interest
in the musical world and perform•
ante of music such as this, are
urged to see Mr. Bailey the week
following Thanksgiving, either
Tuesday or Thursday. He will be
in his teaching room, 205 in the
college building, all day December
1 or 3 to see both former members
of the singing group and anyone
else interested in the same.
Practices will begin immediately
following Christmas vacation, and,
although the time has not been def-initely
set, they will probably be
held sometime Tuesday or Thurs-day
afternoons.
The chamber singer group last
year made two appearances. Once,
with an orchestral group from the
University of Minnesota, they pre-sented
Kaljo Raid's "Proverbs,"
and the other time, they partici-pated
in Mr. Bailey's recital, sing-ing
"Five Mystical Songs" by
Vaughan Williams.
Annual Smorgasbord
Scheduled Dec. 10
The annual Christmas smorgas-bord
will be held Thursday, Decem-ber
10 in the Bethel dining hall.
Hours for serving are from 5 to 7
p.m.
One of the highlights of the year,
the annual smorgasbord combines
many of the favorite Swedish
dishes into a Christmassy atmo-sphere
for one of the last meals
before vacation begins. Those taking part in the tourna-

Missionary goal
The stewardship committee upon
affirmation of the religious council
announces today the missionary
goal to be reached this -year. This
decision was reached after many
weeks of investigation and deliber-ation
over student means, poten-tials,
and interest.
There has been an increase in
giving the last few weeks. A note-worthy
example might be over the
first and second weeks of this
month. One-hundred-fifty-six dol-lars
was received during the first
week while the following week wit-nessed
a decided increase totaling
$288.00.
The budget breakdown by quar-ters
is:
Fall Quarter $2500.00
Winter Quarter 3000.00
Spring Quarter 3000.00
Total $8500.00
Total receipts thus far $1614.00
With three weeks remaining, vn
must average $300.00 a week in
order to reach our goal of $2500.00
this quarter.
It has been sugested for those
unable to attend chapels on Friday
that offerings be placed at the
bank window or with the school re-ceptionist
any time during the
week.

Pe lb iBarb apetb Smorgy the Silverfish ...
by Einar Gjestland
I sighed and I said unto the Old Bard,
"How is it, sire, my fellows and I are suf-fering
divers troubles in that school down
there? Indeed, I heard one say, 'If I attain
not goodlier grades next time and if things
continue to get me down like this, I will
not tarry next quarter.' Sire, what shall we
say when our little bodies wax weary of
this world?"
The Old Bard smiled wistfully as he
stroked his shiny beard before giving an-swer
(and I thought that when I should
have such a beard I would also be wise).
But he spake. thus: "My son, the first
thing to say is that thou wilt always be so
strong that nothing can disturb thee. In-stead
of dwelling on the mistakes of the
past, profit by them. Thou wouldst try
harder, but in all pursuits remember that
enthusiasm is the thing: start each day with
a song even from the moment thou gettest
out of bed in the morning. And when suc-cess
comes, forget not to rejoice as much
o'er the success of others as thine own. Be
too happy to worry, too kind for anger, too
strong for fear, and too confident to permit
the presence of trouble. For soon or late
the man who wins is the one who thinks he
can."
A Perfect Friend
For Anyone
by Cliff Schroeder
I'm going to a conference tonight. It is a
very important meeting. My complete board
of advisers is going to be there to discuss a
serious problem. So far we have not been
able to reach any satisfactory answer to it
even though we have had just such a meet-ing
every evening for some time.
The board consists of some very compet-ent
people. They include a physician who
is known for his miraculous healings. There
is a brilliant lawyer who has obtained a
pardon for many persons who despaired of
life. Another member is an explorer who
has traveled through deep wilderness and
over stormy seas. I have also a teacher who
has dedicated his life to the human race.
A fisherman who was always glad to pass on
his secrets to those who cared to listen will
be there. We have a great scientist with us
who has often astounded the world with
his correct predictions and statements. A
food economist who once arranged for the
the feeding of a great number of people at
almost no expense is coming.
I'd like to invite you to come also and
meet all my friends and perhaps discuss
with us our problem. We hope that we can
show you a way to a happier, more mean-ingful
life on earth. -We are anxious that
you realize the importance or preparing
your soul for the life after death. Jesus
Christ alone is all those persons I men-tioned
and much more. However, His great-est
concern right now is winning your
friendship, trust and confidence. That is
why, each night, I meet Him in prayer.
Please, won't you come, too?
by President Wingblade
Once upon a time there was a great bon-fire,
according to Nathaniel Hawthorne.
People were going to clean up the com-munity
and they were burning everything
that seemed obnoxious.
Everything of evil — gambling cards, liq-uor,
tobacco — was burned. They even
went into the church and dragged out some
of the dead liturgy and threw that on the
flame. Then with satisfaction of a job well
done the people stood around and watched
the blaze.
But there was one old fellow chewing a
straw who less optimistic. He kept mutter-ing
— "It will all come back. It will all
come back!"
What do you mean — it will all come
back? Can't you see the the sparks flying?
Can't you see it all burning?"
"It will all come back," he replied. "As
long as the human heart is the same cess
pool of iniquity, it will all come back."
And so the voice of wisdom warns, "Keep
your heart with all diligence, for out of it
are the issues of life." And also, "As a man
thinketh in his heart — so is he."
How true it is that thought is basic and
determining. Except in reflex action we al-ways
think, more or less, before we act. We
sow a thought, and then we reap an act, a
habit and a possible destiny.
"Nothing is good or bad" for us, until
"thinking makes it so." It is when the evil
about us pollutes our own thoughts that
it becomes evil for us.
And so the antidote is "positive thinking."
"Think ten times of Christ for once of your-self."
Meditate on things high and holy and
the life becomes high and holy. The au-thentic
recipe becomes once more — Thy.
Word have I hid in my heart that I might
not sin against Thee."
Why Not a
Library Change
by Bunny Dahlquist
And when the library was built maybe
someone misunderstood and thought it was
to be a nursery. At least that's one way of
accounting for it. And maybe that's why
things are at such a low level. It's hard
to get any use out of it, at least for me, but
maybe I'm more grown up than other stu-dents,
But I'm sure I'm not. I guess others
don't mind stooping so low; I find it quite
unbecoming. When you once lower your-self
it's hard to straighten up. I'm sure a
firm hand in control wouldn't be the an-swer
either. What is needed here is not
force that any one can see. How shall I
say it? But if it is to serve the purpose for
which it was intended, the drinking foun-tain
just must be raised.

Dear Editor,
We are writing in regard to the para-graph
about the football team your Uncle
Screwtape letter of the last CLARION. After
considerable discussion we came to the con-elusion
that the author is insinuating that
most of us on the team are unspiritual and
the victims of some demon. We would very
much appreciate a further writing by that
author on just what specific instances he
bases his accusations. Perhaps he could
even furnish a list of those names who are,
in his judgement, so erroneous in their
ways.
We of the football team feel that there
are no grounds for the hazy insinuations of
the letter. We hope that you will give us
a chance -to defend ourselves by printing
our letter in your next issue. Please re-
,
member that the CLARION is read not only
by Bethel students but also by our home
churches where such suggestions could be-come
marks against our reputations and
character.
Thank you,
The Football players
Editor's note: Pope said, "To err is hu-man;
to forgive, divine." We sincerely re-gret
that sometimes a line, a paragraph, or
a whole article passes our better judgment
and gets into print when it should not. The
last issue of the CLARION contained one
such misprint. In an honest effort of stat-ing
a definite need for spiritual stress for
all of Bethel we erred greatly in singling
out a particular group — the football team.
Besides defeating somewhat of our own
aim, this has also lead to obvious misunder-standing.
In this the words of Pope are
applicable.

Dear Editor,
Concerning the articles printed in the
November 6 edition about the ebbing spirit-ual
life on campus, I would like to say that
they were among the most stimulating that
I have read in the school paper. However,
some people to whom I have spoken think
that the printing showed very poor judg-ment
on the part of the CLARION Staff.
They say such articles are degrading to thf..
school. Criticism, I believe, is always in
place when there is something that needs
to be brought to our attention, and when it
is constructive. Certainly these things need
to be brought to our attention, and cer
tainly the criticism was constructive.
Also, if Bethel as a whole is to maintain
a high level of spiritual life, then Bethel as
a whole must be aware of its spiritual mis-takes,
problems, and sins. These articles
have been a help in awakening Bethel from
its sleep. And it is significant and a matter
to be thankful for that the criticism has
come from within the student body, and
shows an alert insight and Christ-like com-passion
on the part of students themselves
to remedy the situation.
S. B.
BETHEL'S ROYAL ROSTER has now
been put into your boxes. Students are
urged to use them wisely in checking on
P.O. boxes as well as campus
organizations.

This year's season also tested
the fortitude and diligence of the
small squad. It isn't difficult to
practice everyday when the team
has the winning chips; but a team
that keeps plowing the turf
even in losing streaks has some-thing.
The Royals left a testimony for
other teams in spite of the scores.
Marquette Wildcats commented.
"Your team has showed the great
est determination of any team
we've played this year, win or
lose." Also they said, "Bethel is
the best clean-playing team we've
played all season.

In Full Swing
According to Everett Johnson,
seminary junior, the 1953-54 sem-inary
basketball team is ready
for action. The team this year
has bought its own uniforms. The
team thus far is comprised of 18
men. Some of those participating
are past college varsity players.
The team has scheduled a prac-tice
for each noon in the Field
House.
Some of the teams they expect
to meet are Northwestern "B",
Concordia Junior College and
Minnesota School of Business and
Agriculture. Everett remarked
that the team is not a closed or-ganization:
"All seminary men
are welcome."
Flip or Flop?
Whether it's "fiddle faddle" or
"piddle paddle" the ping pong
tournament finally is under way
for the contesting enthusiasts.
Last year's champ seemed to be
Morris Magnuson. No one seems
to know for sure! But there are
plenty of Bethel men who are
ready to vie for the title.
It is restricted competition, how-ever.
No girls are permitted, and
no sem students will be eligible.
This is unfortunate because last
year's champ Magnuson lives at
the sem. Only Edgren residents
are eligible.

In Season's Last Game
Royals Show Ability
Even N1 ith a record of 0-7 Bethel's football season was far from
a flop.
The football season gave gridmen much valuable experience which
the coach can use as a foundation for next year's squad. For example,
the Berg twins had played no football until this year. Nevertheless, by
the end of the season their playing was among the best on the team. Ed
Brunzell is another grid star of the season who will be a valuable asset
to the Royal eleven next season.
SEQUEL:
a gowe...
by Dale Nystrom
"Sure, the Royals can face the Goliaths again and again. But
maybe they should tarry for a while in their own class of competion.
David had a stone."
The above paragraph is an excerpt from an article which appeared
in the October 9 issue of the CLARION. David and Goliath were used
as an analogy against the Royal gridmen and their outclassed compe-tition
of the season. Insinuated in this last paragraph is the truth that
the Royals could not indefinitely continue in such ridiculous compet-ition
even though they have nothing with which to fight.
Sentiments, in the past few weeks, have generally remained un-changed
by fans in reference to confidence in the gridmen. "Little
Bethel with only three T. D.'s," "We got the coach, ha! ha! We got the
team, ha! ha!" and "Bethel, who limps for need of manpower," are
more examples of pertinent quotations accrued since the last game.
Even so, these do not make so great a difference to members of the
team (most of whom are inexperienced players and under-classmen)
as they do to the game arrangements.
In Christian circles we recognize the importance of the element
of faith when David slew Goliath. But that element has not been ev-aded
by the Royals. It is still contested that David had a stone.
Already the football perspective of the Royals has changed. Plans
are currently under way for a more point-prospective grid future in-cluding
teams of a more equal competition. Next fall the Royals will
plow the turf again; but they'll have a stone. That's better than a
crutch.

New Insurance
For Sem Men
by Robert Hilton
Sixty per cent of the seminary
men have adopted a new insur-ance
plan offered them by the
Ministers Life and Casualty Un-ion.
Sixty per cent participation of
the seminary body was necessary
for the adoption of the program.
In total, 87 men signed up for the
policy.
The policy covers accident, sick•
ness, surgical and life insurance.
The insurance rates are at a spe-cial
low rate because it is a group
policy plus the fact that those in-volved
are students and potential
ministers. the coverage is for one
year at which time the policy
must be renewed. The rate for
one year of full coverage is $12
for a single person and $26 for
a married couple and family. Clif-ford
Anderson is the representa-tive
in charge of the program.

Royals Romped 21-7
Wildcats Prove Too Much
by Don Stipe
The Bethel Royals finished the '53 grid season November 7, at Mar-quette,
Michigan by falling to Northern College 21-7.
The Wildcat scoring threats repeatedly ground to a halt at the hands
of a stubborn Bethel Eleven. The line play on the part of the Royals was
characterized by vicious blocking and tackling which up until this game
had been noticeably lacking.
In the first quarter Bruce Steinhaus intercepted a Northern aerial
and broke away to the opponents' 17 yard mark before being brought
down. However, the scoring threat died as the Wildcats took over on
downs. The key note of the first half was rugged defense by both teams.
The Northern squad, after being
held scoreless in the first half,
came back on the field a fired up
crew. The second time they hand-led
the pigskin in the third quar-ter
the Wildcats drove from their
own 45 to pay dirt on a series of
runs climaxed by an off tackle
plunge which was good for four
yards. This served as incentive and
moments later they scored again
on a short jaunt which brought
the score to 14-0.
ew System
Cuts the Work
The athletic department is now
reorganizing the handling and is-suing
of its equipment. The new
storeroom will be the extreme
southeast room of the main floor of
the fieldhouse. Appropriate shelves
and racks have been built there to
store and handle the athletic gear
properly. The door of the room
has a regular counter window to
aid the team managers in their
work. These improvements over
the temporary tables and bins of
the old storeroom will ,no doubt,
speed up handling of equipment
besides cutting losses to a mini-mum.

Tuesday.
*
Helen Messenger, Mona Nelson,
Mary Nicol, Carla Kern, and Jo-anne
Bennett have promised to
play girls' basketball if hair nets
and aprons are provided by the
athletic department. Manager Del
Ray Peterson has made no com-ment.
The twin trouble-shooters, John
and Paul Berg, may fool a lot of
guys on the grid-field, but they
have no defense for their "Opera-tion
Lynn and Lois."
Coach Lynn Lundeen played the
role of a compassionate mother for
the gridders at their first game in
Marquette, Michigan. Upon being
tucked into bed for the overnight
visit they discovered their ideal
had short-sheeted them.
Don Helton, Wayne McArthur,
and two other cripples brought
the grid team to early season form
as they suited up for the team
picture—naturally.
The Royal score was set up late
in the fourth period on a blocked
punt. Bethel took possession of the
ball on the Northern 30 yard line.
Dave Seaquist and Bruce Peterson
combined their efforts in two runs
which totaled 20 yards to the
Girls Basketball
Mrs. Lynn Lundin, wife of the
football coach, who is a physical
education major and has had
much experience with girls' ath-letics,
will coach the girls' bas-ketball
team this year.
It is hoped this season that the
team will be able to get into the
St. Paul League. If this is pos-sible,
a number of games will be
scheduled with such teams as
Macalester, Northwestern, Mounds
Midway School of Nursing and
others.
Practice will begin soon and all
girls interested are urged to come
out.
Players returning from previous
years are Ruth Martinson, Joyce
Martinson, Gloria Manseau, Mary
Nicol, Carla Kern, Joanne Ben-nett,
Carolyn Dahlquist and Don-na
Anderson.
The game as a whole was the best
of the current season and several
gridders showed up exceptionally
well. Ron Skoog, playing his last
game in college competition,
showed up brilliantly on defense.
Paul Berg, Dale Shellman, Dick
Pearson, Jay Dikkers, Vern Peter-son,
and Harold Erickson are
among the linemen who played
some of the best ball of the sea-son.
Ed Brunzell and Cliff sparked
the team at the quarterback slot
with Bruce Steinhaus doing the
bulk of the running.
Volley-ball Next
Illinois, rounding out the cur-rent
intra-mural football season
with five wins and no defeats,
emerged as undisputed title hold-er
in this sport.
The intra-mural program for
this year has proved much more
successful than in years past. Stu-dent
enthusiasm has been run-ning
high and each team was well
represented in the Saturday morn-ing
contests.
Next on the intra-mural agenda
is volley-ball. The teams will be
grouped in the same manner as
they were in football; many close
games are anticipated.

It's full scale preparation in the gym these days as the Bethel bas-ketball

The football players have made a valuable addition to the squad and
the team has much more depth this year than last. Coach Del Ray
Peterson is pleased with the over-all prospects and adds that the material
this year is some of the best he has worked with in years.
The players that will make up
the varsity in the first game are,
Burleson, Conrad, Dikkers, Erick-son,
Johnson, Kile, Redin, Messen-ger,
Rekstad, Sandberg, Steinhaus,
Walberg, and Quarnstrom.
Friday Bethel scrimmaged Min-nehaha
Academy. The team as a
whole played well and the specta-tors
were pleased with the results.
However, the scrimmage exposed
several weak points, and work this
week has been concentrated on cor-recting
these.
The team met real competition
Tuesday in its scrimmage with
Hamline. Although the results were
decidedly different from the pre-vious
scrimmage, the team left the
floor with a clear picture of their
prospects for the year.
Northern 5. Cliff Schroeder pushed
into the end zone on two consecu-tive
quarterback sneaks. Ed "the
toe"' Brunzell booted the extra
point which rounded out the scor-ing
of the game and the season.
The greatest weakness on the
part of the Royals was the inability
of line to hold out the defenders
long enough to give Brunzell time
to get his passes away. He was
repeatedly thrown for big losses
The fired up Wildcats scored which nullified previous gains.
again late in the third period on an
off tackle slant which netted 30
yards. However, the Royals weren't
sitting idly by. Steinhaus broke
away for his best run of the season
on a pitchout and was stopped on
the Northern 30 yard line, but not
before he had gained 50 yards.
