Dining Hall Defeats Faculty In Koffe Kup Game
Dr. Gustaf Sword, executive secretary of Baptist Missions in Burma
and author of the stirring war-time book COME WHAT MAY, delivered
a series missionary lectures in the Seminary this week. On Wednesday
he addressed the combined chapel.
Successor to Dr. Ola Hanson,
scholarly pioneer missionary to
the Kachins of Burma, Dr. Sword
carried on an aggressive work in
the Kachin hills until forced to
flee before the Japanese invasion.
Dining Hall Crew Represents
Students Against Faculty Team
Last night in the fieldhouse Bethel students witnessed a wild con-test
between students and faculty in which the basketball game was
only incidental. The students found a chance to "boo" the faculty
legally; they took much advantage of it.
The faculty, lead by such stand-outs as Wally Peterson, Gene
Johnson, Del Ray Peterson, Lynn Lundeen, Quinten Bohney and others,
kept the evening hot on the floor; but the real heat was from the stu-dents
in the stands who still remember the beating they took on "mid-quarters"
last week.
The faculty seemed especially interested in the coffee at half-time.
Another faculty interest seemed to be in getting away from the con-test
without physical violence af-
The visit of Dr. Sword to the
Bethel campus is part of the Sem-inary's
program of bringing in
special lecturers from time to
time.
__ Dr, Sword is an alumnus of our
seminary. After his graduation he
served as a pastor for 14 years.
From 1921-1942 he was a mission-dis

Churches Xespond on
Bethel Emph. Days-
Bethel office records show that
more than $6,500 have been re-ceived
in response to the Bethel
Emphasis Sundays.
At the Baptist General Confer-ence
in Sioux- Falls, each church
was asked to set aside one Sunda3,
in September or October for a
special Bethel emphasis. At each
of these services an offering was
to be taken to defray the $19,224.07
debt.
Bethlehem Church of Minneapo-lis
held a typical Bethel emphasis
day on October 11. A professor,
Adolf Olson, a student, Annemarie
Oesterle, and a member of the
school board, Dr. William Widen,
took part in the morning service.
Eleven Bethel students took an ac-tive
part in the evening service
when they told how Bethel speaks
in athletics, music and art, schol-arship,
social life and spiritual and
practical life. Mr. Robert Feather-stone,
director of the Christian
Service Office, was the final and
summarizing speaker.
Bisgrove and Smith
To Give Recital
The fourth annual faculty piano
concert will be presented Novem-ber
20 at 8:30 p.m., in the chapel
of the college building.
The duo-piano team will consist
of Mildred Bisgrove, assistant prof-essor
of music, and C. Howard
Smith, assistant professor of mu-sic.
Miss Bisgrove studied at the
Eastman School of Music in New
York and the Columbia University
of Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith is a
graduate of Eastern Baptist Sem-inary
and has also attended' he Un-iversity
of Southern California.
The concert will be divided into
four groups. The first will consist
of three Bach chorales. The second
number will be "Passacaglia in G
Minor" by Handel, followed by
"Brahms Variations on a Theme"

only to conference churches but
serve wherever they are asked.
October 22, a special meeting
was held for all those who plan
to help with gospel team work
this year. Dean Omark of the sem-inary
was guest speaker. This
meeting was designed to inform
students as to the type of calls
that come to the office and how
these requests are fulfilled.
Parole and Probation
Officers Speak Here
Parole and probation work will
be the topic discussed by Mr.
John Wallace, assistant director
of the parole board in Minnesota,
who will be at Bethel next Mon-day,
November 9, and Mr. Paul
Keve, assistant chief probation of-ficer
of Hennepin county, who
will be here on Friday, November
13.
__ These men will speak to the
8:00 field of social work class,
room 108, and all students inter-ested
in social work are urged
to join the class on these two
dates. Friday"s lecture will prove
especially beneficial to those who
may be thinking of social work
as a vocation but have not as yet
made a definite decision •a s to
their life's work, as Mr. Keve will
be speaking specifically about op-portunities
for •job placement in
Minnesota. Mr Wallace's talk on
Monday will concern itself with
the history and general informa-tion
about this field of proba-tion
and parole work.
Mr Wallace and Mr. Keve are
here in connection with a joint
committee of parole and proba-tion
agencies who feel the need
of informing the communities in
and around the Twin Cities of the
importance of this work.
Two scholarships, one of $50.00
and one of $25.00 will be presented
to two botany students who have at
least a "B" average, are of good
character and plan to continue in
science at Bethel the following
year.
One $50.00 scholarship and one
$25.00 scholarship will be presented
to students in zoology who have
met the same requirements.
If the quota should not be
met in zoology or botany,
students may be chosen who have
proper requirements first in the
chemistry classes, and next in
physics.
BWA Style Show
Set for Nov. 19
With apparel furnished by Schu-neman's
Department Store, St.

will present a style show for
their November meeting. The pro-gram
will take place Thursday, No-vember
19, at 3:P.M. in the dining
hall of the girls' dorm.
The models, headed by Carla
Kern, will be: Lenore White, Esther
Kamphausen, Karen Fritz, Pat At-kins,
Eloise Anderson, Susie Ket-tleson,
Judy McComber, Marilyn
Wirkman and Barbara Martin.
Winter sportswear, coats, cot-tons,
evening wear, and "after five"
fashions will be shown.
The program is under the direc-tion
of Marlys Malmsten, the BWA
president.
All women, students, faculty wo-men,
wives of students and faculty,
and women in the business office
are invited to attend.

Bethel students.
The students were represented
in this competition by the "dish-room
boys" from the dining hall,
whose talents are not only limit-ed
to scrubbing pots and pans,
but can also be seen on the bas-ketball
floor.
The final score of the Koffe
Kup game was 49 to 32.
Half-fare Bus Rates
Offered to Students
Identification cards are now be-ing
issued enabling students liv-ing
in Minneapolis to ride a bus
to and from campus for one fare
each way.
A trial plan is now in effect
until December 31. There will
be no restrictions as to time, with
exception of Sundays or holidays
upon which days the card is • not
honored.
Under the new system, students
will pay their fare when boarding
a streetcar or bus operating
through the city limits. At this
time, they will present the iden-tifications
card and receive a
transfer punched "continuation."
When the students get off in
St. Paul, they will present the
"continuation" transfer along
with the card. An additional
transfer will be issued on request,
after the "continuation" transfer
is used.
The card will not be honored
if presented by a passenger at
the city limits. On lines terminat-ing
at the city limits, the proce-dure
is the same as on lines go-ing
straight through.
Replacements will not be made
for lost cards.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul, Co-mo-
Harriet, Como-Stryker, Ft.
Snel I ing-Minnehaha, _ Selby-Lake,
and Ft. Snelling-Maria lines will
be affected by this new student
fare reduction.

Six Gospel Teams Organized
Robert Featherstone, Christian Activities director, stated that this
year's plans for gospel team work will be somewhat different than in
previous years. Students will not need to be on a team to serve through
the office, as there will be many opportunities for individual service.
Six organized teams have been organized so far this year which
have been sent out to varous places around the Twin Cities as well
as other places. Group leaders for these teams are Don Fuller, Don
Richardson, Curt Fauth, Tom Warden, Jim Niles and Cal Fernlund.

EDITORIAL ..
THIS PAGE IS NOT AN ACCIDENT!
Some may suppose themselves to be kind
by saying that it is. However, might we
say that this issue's emphasis is quite in-tentional.
All of the research for articles and the
choice of articles themselves has been
executed with the deepest sincerity in
view of an increasingly recognized pro-blem.
In this we refer to the several arti-cles
of spiritual import.
We are not running a paper of private
gripes. Only an unfair scanning of this
page would leave one with such an im-pression.
For most of us Bethel has played an
uncomparable part in the Christian growth
and usefulness we have hitherto exper-ienced.
Regretably this has not been the
portion of every student. Hence there
have arisen perenial evidences of spirit-ual
laxity. Though much of what may be
Were You There?
Since the beginning of the school year
chapel attendance has continued in geo-metric
regression. Why?
This is the question that stimulated a
recent unofficial study. Four students
(two fellows and two girls) skipped chapel
Tuesday to inquire of the reasons why
individuals are missing chapel. The sur-vey
met with congenial response by the
46 individuals questioned.
This was NOT an effort on the part of
a few "Holy Joes" to embarrass students
into attending chapel. It was NOT a mere
project of idle curiosity. It was NOT a
project of the Religious Council.
The results of this survey can be used
by various individuals and groups in find-ing
remedies for certain aspects of the
attendance problem. It must be realized
It only covered those in' the boy's and
that the survey was not strictly accurate
girl's dorms. It did not include those off
campus or those away at the time. It was
taken on a day when Freshman confer-ence
tended to keep some otherwise-skip-pers
in chapel.
Nevertheless, the reasons given for
missing chapel prove valuable and inter-esting
for those concerned. First is the
complete picture for the dorms together:
Study for test 9
Study (no test) 9
No reason 6

Washing or ironing 3
Tired of sitting 4
Got up late 3
Ping pong 2
Devotions 2

The figures for the separate dormitories
indicate a slight difference in reasons
given.

In addition to the stated reasons several

was a complaint that chapel programs
have not been consistently interesting and
inspirational.
considered spiritual laxity is actually soc-ial
adjustment, the past few weeks have
been characterized by a definite want in
spiritual vigor.
This crisis has been noted by many stu-dent
and faculty leaders and has been
brought to the attention of the members
of both the Student Senate and the Relig-ious
Council. It is a real problem.
The Screwtape letter is obviously pat-terned
after the ethical work by C. S.
Lewis. As in Lewis' book Wormword is a
junior demon writing a report to a head
demon concerning the progress of his ef-forts
against the kingdom of God. This
article indicates a slant of our present
problem. What is your idea?
We have intentionally ommitted some
by-lines. This is not because the contrib-utors
are ashamed of their articles, but
it is because they do not want to appear
to be assuming an air of spiritual loft.
Bethel Fifth Column
Dear Uncle Screwtape,
Melt my antlers and call me Weldwood if
things aren't going simply lovely this year!
it's the best I've had since you sent me to
Bethel. Cooperation has been excellent.
The enemy has lost ground consistently.
I was afraid at first when I heard that his
strongest recruits were in training here.
They refer to themselves as the "cream of
the crop." Funny, eh? The "cream" is get-ting
sourer by the day, and the skim milk
is in curds and whey.
They had one of those deeper life weeks
awhile back. It made me hold my breath a
little, and I had to work harder than ever.
It's about all blown over now and almost
forgotten. We had fewer casualties than
anticipated and hardly a single major one.
Time cures all.
Chapel attendance has been splendid. If
it keeps up this way they'll be able to hold
it in the prayer tower by Christmas. More
and more are convinced they don't need it.
Your idea about the football team is ter-rific!
I really caught them off guard (to use
one of their own terms.) Only about half a
dozen of those left are giving me much
trouble. By the way, how does a demon go
about discouraging a guy from taking the
enemy, onto the football field with him?
Ridicule doesn't work on one of the play-ers.
One thing that used to hurt was the mis-sionary
interest. I've got it pretty well
licked. There are a few die - hards, but
there's no more pernicious all-campus sym-pathy
left. It was simple. All I had to do
was to get their minds on other things —
good things. I will prove the success of this
venture in a later letter by missionary of-fering
figures. They're hilarious!
I wish the enemy's churches depended
more on some of these students. That would
really be a laugh. I can't remember when
it's been so good for so early in the year.
More each week never see the Sabbath sun
until afternoon. What could be better!
All isn't as rosy as it sounds. By the
looks things may be getting pretty hot (or
cold) for me here soon. Have you got some
good suggestions on how to stifle a revival
attitude? There's nothing serious yet (just
a few party-poopers), but you know how
dangerous those things can get if they aren't
checked in time.
I must close now and go to the dorm for
some bull sessions. Here's hoping for a hap-pier
and hotter future.
Your nephew,
Wormwood

The three-dimensional rage has invades
the library. For use in library displays and
signs, the school has purchased a set of
"Mitten's Display Letters." The letters are
made in three dimensions and are fabri-cated
in "Mittenite." On the back of each
letter there is a pin which provides for in-sertion
in a bulletin board of cork or simi-lar
fabric. The set which the library pur-chased
includes three sizes of letters which
are white but may be painted easily. A dis-play
using these letters can be found at the
rear of the main library room.
Friend Forgotten
He was always there when I needed him
but I guess that's the only time I paid much
attention to him. Besides, I had so many
friends. He used to be around a lot in the
mornings but I preferred to study, so I
didn't have much time to talk to him. He
took too much of my time.
One day I remember promising I'd go with
him somewhere—I don't remember the par-ticular
place — but it was where he wanted
to go. But I forgot about it. Usually the
others wanted me with them.
He was always asking me if I loved him.
I don't know why he always asked me. None
of the others did. He seem-ed
to want me for himself
but there wasn't much time for that.
There were always so many other things to
do; studies, games and organizations and
church. I'd go with him there, but he still
wasn't satisfied.
Then suddenly—without warning—I grew
violently ill and for days I lay upon my bed
barely conscious. During this time he nev-er
left my side. My other friends were
there sometimes, too.
As time went by I grew a little stronger
and then I enjoyed the host of companions
grouped about me. But I was rather neg-lectful
of him. He would talk to me often
and tell me about a place we might go to-gether
some day, if I loved him. But "some
day" 'seemed so far away. Often I didn't
hear him when he talked for the other
voices were so loud. As I watched him, he
seemed different than the others, sort of
quiet 'but kind and tender, nevertheless.
Gradually it became apparent that I would
get well. They never left my side, nor did
he. I was quite happy. My friends grew
merry — but he grew sad.
Then one day he turned to me and said,
"Lovest thou me more than these?" I
shook my head- And then he turned and
slowly left the room.
Dear Editor,
In reply to the letter concerning cheer-leading
that was in the last issue of the
Clarion, we, as cheerleaders, would like to
state our view point.
First of all, it is apparent that the per-son
who wrote the letter did not attend any
of the pep fests or games; consequently,
he is unqualified to write such a letter.
In regard to the statement that no new
yells have been introduced, we, would like
to say that we have mimeographed five new
yells and have distributed them at three pep
fests and one game.
We would also like to clarify the mis-understanding
of the new cheerleaders
chosen. They were selected as alternates
and were chosen the week of homecoming;
therefore, they did not have time to learn
the yells for homecoming so were unable to
cheer. Also, there has only been one foot-ball
game since that time. Before the school
year is over you will see the alternates in
action'on the floor.
One of Bethel's school policies is that
male cheerleaders, and not female cheer-leaders,
perform the stunts unless, of
course the girls wear slacks, which are not
provided for. Several of our regular cheer-leaders
do perform acrobatics but because
of this policy we are forced to refrain
from doing them.
We have encouraged fellows, as well as
girls, to try out for cheerleading but
have had no response.
The Cheerleaders
by President Wingblade
We are told that the Greeks were ever
looking for something new. That is on€
reason why they listened intently to Paul
on Mars Hill.
The Greek gentlemen of leisure would go
down to the baths and bathe, more or less
-- but they would sit around much and in-quire,
and discuss whatever news there
might be.
"Everyone loves the mailman," even
though he might bring only "bills" some
days. People are eagerly waiting for a let-ter
from someone.
We heard of one young lady who re-ceived
many love letters and read them
with glowing countenance. However, the
truth became known that she had really
written the letters herself. She longed for
mail.
But this is it. There are loved ones back
home who are eagerly waiting each day for
the mailman. They are hoping to get a
letter from son or daughter at Bethel. Have
you written home recently?
You may not think at times that you have
much "news" to write, but just remember
this — that anything and everything about
you is "news" and interesting to them —
because they love you.
Do not disappoint them back home by
neglecting to write. You may regret it
some day. It is the least that you can do in
appreciation of what they have done and
are doing for you.
Write home today!
"Hey Bob, what did you get on your Ger-man
test?"
"Did you know who took Shirley out
last night? Well, let me tell you about it,
kid."
"Say, you know I really heard a funny
one yesterday; it went like this."
"Say, wasn't that test a stinker?"
"It sure was, but let me alone; I have only
twenty minutes to prepare for the next
one."
"Who is speaking this morning?"
"It looks like a faculty member."
"No, not him, I get enough of that in
class."
"What number did he say?"
"I don't know; there is too much noise
to hear—oh yes, it's 158, 'Blessed Quiet-ness.'
And so goes another chapel service. We
meet friends, make dates, study for tests,
tell jokes and talk to our neighbor; but do
we worship God? Often the noise is so loud
that one can hardly hear the organ prelude,
or did you know we have one? Perhaps we
should have convocations instead of chapel
meetings or perhaps have a chapel only
once a week. But whenever we set a time
to honor Him let's use that time for the
right purpose.
Have you ever tried to talk on the tele-phone
while someone else in the room is
making noise? Perhaps you have retorted
as I have with a "Will you please be quiet?"
In every service there are those who are
talking with God. Will you please be quiet?

Students Teach at
Housing Project
Bethelites have invaded the Mc-
Donnough Housing Project of St.
Paul. Each Sunday a host of Bethel
students journey to the project,
teach Sunday school in the morn-ings,
and conduct a visitation pro-gram
in the afternoons.
The residents (including an es-timated
2000 children) respond
warmly to the teaching staff of 14
and the increasing visitation group.
At present, the invaders are
leaving the girls' dorm at 9:15. This
allows sufficient time to make trips
through the project to pick up the
smaller children. After the school
session they are then returned to
their homes in the same manner.
After dinner the visiting group
leaves the girls' dorm at 2:30 p.m.
Once they have arrived at the ad-ministration
building, where the
classes are conducted, they receive
their assignments for the hour's
visitation. The nature of this vis-itation,
at present, is of a surveyal
type. Later, there will be a pro-spective
type of visitation when the
survey of the area has been com-pleted.
Those who volunteered for the
work are: Jim Long, Dale Ny-strom,
Marlene Anderson, Ed
Erickson, Mae Lundblad, Barbara
Harper, Esther Kamphauser,
Retha Creech, Betty Beck, Henry
Pederson, Paul Swanson, Wayne
McArthur„ Ted Hill, Bud Brayton,
Dick Andrei, Don Stipe, and Nels

Wayne McArthur was recently

class adviser.
At the last class meeting, Jim

101 Persons Give Blood
Bethel students responded with
an increase of 30 per cent and 28
pints of blood over last year's re-cord
of donors. Answering to the
call for blood were 101 persons —
faculty, staff and students — each
donating one pint of blood.
The Bloodmobile serving our
school supplies blood for 59 local
hospitals. The Veterans Hospital
alone uses 650 pints per month.
The greatest single utilization for
blood today is its use as gamma
globulin in the fight against polio.
The staff of the Bloodmobile ex-pressed
their deep appreciation for
the help offered by the students.
Their graciousness was particu-larly
noticed as they replied with
a warm "Thank You" to each do-nor.
Arvid Berg was in charge of
arranging all the details of setting
up and advertising for the blood
donations.

Typewriters Now
Available for Rent
Students are now allowed to rent
the typewriters in room 4 of the
college building for a rate of ten
cents per hour according to a re-cent
decision of the policy com-mittee.
The typewriters are available for
use during second hour every day
except Tuesday, every third hour
and anytime after 3 p.m. Permis-sion
must be secured from Miss
Lehr, instructor in typing, for rent-al
of typewriters for hours other
than the above-mentioned periods.
Students who have paid a lab
fee — those in typing, secretarial
practice and shorthand classes —
will not be charged the rental fee.
The annual Nikolinas Dag activities will take place Saturday even-ing,
November 14, at 7:43 p.m. in the field house. A stipulation again
has been set, in that girls may not ask fellows for dates until 11:59 p.m.,
Monday, November 9.
"Cheer up, fellows, there is always another year," says Eugene
Sprinkle, chairman of the Nik Dag program. He goes on to say, however,
that this Nik Dag should be the best Bethel has ever had and that there
is to be a different type program from other years.
This year's program will be a
departure from the variety type
which has been the characteristic
of former Nik Dag programs, but
the program is thus far a closely
guarded secret.
Eugene Sprinkle, in charge of
the program, is assisted by Dester
Kile, Dan Helmick, Helen Mes-senger,
and Carla Kern.
Donn Goss is chairman of the
decorations committee and assist-ing
him are Tom Warden, Joanne
Bennett, and Ruth Edwards, Ad-vertising
is taken care of by Earl
Grano, Mary Nicol and Barbara
Harper. John Swanson is in
charge of ticket sales.

NURSING
With college affiliation if desired
The Mounds-Midway School of Nursing operated in con-nection
with Midway Hospital and Mounds Park Hospital,
offers the unusual opportunity of studying nursing in hos-pitals
of high standard in an atmosphere of Christian fellow-ship
and missionary interest.
Minimum prerequisites for entrance: high school diploma,
sound health, good character, and church affiliation.
• Application should be made to:

"And tell the faculty too," says
Harold Erickson (right), "that it
would be a big boost of morale if
they were all at the games." That's
just a small part of some big ideas
of center Erickson, one of the most
valuable players on the grid-squad
this fall.
Center Erickson, 19, of Ferndale,
Washington, is a physical educa-tion
major of the sophmore class.
Respected by the rest of the team
for his tremendous defensive play-ing
he is, no doubt, dynamite in
the middle of the line. _
"I don't think the kids turn, out
very well to support the guys," he
complained. "There were more
rooters from a church at the Ash-land
game than there are at our
home games." You'll be seeing
lots of him in the forthcoming bas-ketball
season.

Worthington Tips Bethel 14-6
by Don Stipe
The Royals boosted their losing streak to six games by losing to
Worthington 14-6 at Highland Field last Friday afternoon. The Bethel
gridsters were victims not of the Worthington crew, but of their own
miscues. Faltering time after time on scoring opportunities, the Royals
lacked scoring punch; this has been typical of this year's squad.
The "Blue and Greys" began the scoring between the two punchless
teams late in the initial period when they completed a pass to the
Bethel seven yard line. Three plays later the Royals were on the short
end of a 6-0 score.
A scoreless second period fol-lowed
in which the highlight was
the error of the water-boy who
took the water to the Worthington
players during a Bethel time out.
The third period began where
the second period left off. The er-rors
that weren't committed in
the first half were commited in
the second. Lachadaisical play-ing
on the part of both teams was
the key-note of play after the
halftime rest.
Early in the third .quarter Wor-thington
again plowed across the
goal line on a Royal miscue
which resulted in a pass interfer-ence
penalty and left the pig-skin
on the Bethel two yard marker.
One play was all the "Blue and
Face Last Game
Pessimism fills the air this
weekend as the Royals face their
last foe of the season, Marquette
of upper Michigan. Scheduled for
Saturday, forcasters predict that
the game will be about the equiv-alent
of the Bethel-Augsburg title
(that score was 31-0).
The Bethel eleven, not too good
this year, will again attempt their
first win of the season. After
losing six games thus far, this will
be their last chance to raise their
average of 12 points made to the
232 points lost in games.
Handicapped all year from being
under-manned, inexperienced, un-learned
in the basic fundamentals
of football, the Royals still hold op-timism
as they hit the turf for an-other
tumble.

Greys" needed to add six more to
their total.
However, as in the game of two
weeks ago, all was not lost as the
Royals scored for the second time
in as many contests.
A tremendous 40 yard heave by
little Ed Brunzell landed in the
arms of Bruce Steinhaus who
scooted into scoring territory.
Brunzell's conversion attempt
was wide and the score stood
Worthington 12, Bethel 6.
Another miscue late in the fin-al
period resulted in two addit-ional
points for Worthington
which rounded out the scoring of
the afternoon.
