Dean Carlson Announces
Additions to Curriculum
Dean C. E. Carlson recently announced the addition of several new
courses to Bethel's curriculum which will start next fall quarter.
In the department of social sciences a Social
Work course will be offered. The fall and win-ter
quarters will be a survey of the field of soc-ial
work including "basic functions of agencies,
fields of specialization and outstanding contribu-tions
made by leaders in the field." Public Welfare
in the spring quarter will deal with the historical
background of the field of social work and the
basic philosophy and theory of the profession, es-pecially
as it is concerned with public agencies and
Dr. Carlson public programs of welfare.
For we are His work-manship,
created in
Christ Jesus unto
good works, . . . .

before ordained that
we should walk in

Progress In Music
Drama and Art
The second week end in May was a
milestone in the development of Bethel
College. It combined three remarkable a-chievements
in the music of Mr. Raid, the
drama directed by Mr. Grabill and Miss
Rusinko and the art show of Mr. Johnson.
It would be a pity not to take notice of
this triad of fine art success and the CLAR-ION
has therefore brought together three
short reviews of these productions.
MUSIC
Stephen Spender, eminent British poet,
remarked recently to a University of Min-nesota
audience, that culture today can
exist only in a free society. Under Nazism,
he indicated, only art which reiterated
the belief in the superiority of the Aryan
race was acceptable. And in the USSR, any
tune that cannot be immediately hummed
by the political commissar, any poem
whose meaning is slightly obscure, and
any landscape that is more complicated
than a colored photograph, cannot be toler-ated.
_ __If the creation of a culture can be count-ed
by the measure of freedom, then Ameri-can
culture can be the most thriving in
the world.
In a specific atmosphere of freedom and
even encouragement, Bethel has happily
seen considerable creative activity recent-ly.
A notable occasion was the recital of
compositions of Kaljo Raid of the Bethel
music faculty. A native of Estonia and now
an American citizen, Mr. Raid has studied
with Jacques Ibert and Darius Milhaud,
distinguished contributors to the musical
picture in our country. These works, pre-sented
both by Bethel personnel and as-sistants
from Hamline University and the
University of Minnesota, represented a con-siderable
range of musical ideas and media
of expression. Conveyed in the language of
20th century music — independent linear
movement, flexible rythms, and complex
and dissonant harmonies — these composi-tions
demonstrated a marked originality
and a unique influence of Estonian folk
music.
Mildred Bisgrove
DRAMA
Expressing very mildly my reaction to
the audience's enthusiastic reception of
Christopher Fry's "A Sleep of Prisoners,"
I must say I was not a little pleased to hear
the typical comment: "Although, I certain-ly
did not absorb the full significance of
all the lines or in fact, that of the play as
a whole, I appreciated much this perfom-ance
of a high-quality, serious drama."
Because the curriculum of the student is
serious in content, he is likely to think
that any drama he witnesses must be one
in which he can suspend all serious thought
for a two-hour period of entertainment.
This attitude, however much Americans
may be falsely or justly accused of sharing,
should not have a place in the mind of the
student because drama, like any other art,
reflects the thinking and experience of
many in a particular era that can be of
pleasurable benefit to man in any other
time and place. So Fry, although markedly
free of the customary narritive unity, or-ganically
fuses symbolism, parody, beauti-ful
poetic expression, humor, bits of phil-osophy
in this dialogue among four sold-iers
imprisoned in an old European cath-edral
and succeeds marvelously in mak-ing
very real and pertinent ideas that
might otherwise be only abstractly related
to the experience of the average or under-average
playgoer. The characters keep inv
quiring of themselves, "Who am I? What
by President Wingblade
The sun is geting warmer. The lilacs are
out. There will now be flowers and fra-grance,
beauty of earth and sky—growth
and fruitage.
Minnesota, the state of ten thousand
lakes, is noted for lovely landscape. But
what makes up a lovely landscape? Fields
and forests, hills and mountains, lakes and
streams. But what about the sky?
Have you ever been out on a lake at
midnight when stygian darkness has set-tled
over all? No beauty now, only dark-ness,
and depth, and danger, and possible
death. Beauty must come from above. On-ly
as beams of light from sun or moon
lend a shimmering sheen do we have a
landscape that becomes "a thing of beauty
and joy forever."
Each lovely color effect is really of
the light, We know that the sunlight
breaks up into the various colors of the
rainbow, and also imparts its beauty to
every separate flower—whether it be red
or blue, purple or gold.
So with the human heart and life. "The
human heart is deceitful above all things
and desperately wicked." Only as the
Sun of Righteousness shines in, and the
white light of His holiness lends its lustre
do we have the virtues which make a
life lovely. Then and only then do we have
the fruit of the Spirit.
"They are but broken lights of Thee,
And thou, 0 Lord, art more than they."
"The azure of the ocean, the crimson of
the sunset, the scarlet of the poppy, the
gold of the gorse; the green of the valley,
the silver of the dewdrop, the blue of the
sky. But when God paints His best, He al-ways
paints in white—when He cleanses
a sin stained heart and makes it white
as snow."
May you all have a wonderful summer—
basking in the sunshine of His love.
is my purpose in life? Why was I made in
this particular emotional, intellectual,
physical mould?"
Is it not incumbent upon all of us to
make an intelligent inquiry into ourselves
for the sake of God, for the sake of his
fellowmen, yes, and even for the sake
of ourselves? If drama or any art can dir-ectly
or indirectly stimulate reactions on
this high level then should it not be not
only our pleasure but our responsibility
to cultivate this area of our experience? ___.
—Susan Rusinko
Mr. Eugene Johnson's oil and print ex-hibit
appeared in the lounge of the Stud-ent
Center the Monday after a rewarding
week end of music and drama. This ex-hibit
is interesting in that it displays the
artist's rapid development. There is a long
road between the realistic barnyard and
the abstract cyclist. Even since his 1951
State Fair prize, Mr. Johnson has com-pletely
altered his technique and style. He
shows greater confidence, greater free-dom,
and greater originality in both form
and color in almost every new work. It is
to be hoped that in May of 1954 we shall
see the next milestone in this progression.

Undergraduate Research Stipend
Awarded to Norris Magnuson
Norris Magnuson, junior, has been awarded an undergraduate re-search
stipend by the Social Science Research Council committee on
undergraduate research training.
Norris is the son of Rev. and Mrs. George Magnuson of Daven-port,
Iowa. His name consistently appears on the A-honor roll at Bethel,
and he is very active in extracurricular activities, holding such positions
as head of the Intramural Sports Committee, treasurer of the Spire and
treasurer of the Junior Class.
The research project on which Norris will work is an exploratory
study of the effectiveness of religious conversions in Protestant church-es
and organizations that emphasize the need of a definite conversion
experience.
The study will be made under
the supervision of Dr. David 0.
Moberg, Chairman of the Depart-men
of Social Sciences and Ass-istant
Professor of Sociology.
Undergraduate research stip-ends
are designed to enable select-ed
college students to devote the
summer between their junior and
senior years to research under the
close guidance of designated fac-ulty
supervisors. An important
aim is to afford able students an
experience that may give them a
basis for a more informed choice
of careers than they otherwise
would have, and to encourage
them to consider the scientific
study of human behavior as a car-eer
The research project, in ad-dition,
is a valuable educational
experience not usually available in
the undergraduate college curricu-lum.
The Social Science Research
Council is a national organization
incorporated in 1924 for the pur-pose
of advancing research in the
social sciences. Its directors rep-resent
the fields of anthropology,
economics, history, political sci-ence,
psychology, sociology and
statistics.
Bethel's campus will be no
quiet or peaceful place during the
summer months. Mr. Lidbom, busi-ness
manager, has recently an-nounced
that there will be some
redecorating done in both the
men's and women's dormitories.
Interior decorators and painters
will be kept busy in Bodien resi-dence
where the lounge is to un-dergo
complete remodeling and
re-furnishing, and minor changes
will occur in other parts of the
dormitory. Edgren rsidence will
also have some redecorating, as
all of the rooms will be painted
and the lounge is to be redecor-ated.
There might also be some im-provements
in the dining hall.
2ette44 Ia the ecida4:
I know that this might sound
like the perpetual chant of a old
cracked record, but I've just got to
dislodge this gripe from my gray
matter. 1 think that on one point,
at least, we should revise the By-
Laws of the Student Association.
To some this will be new but
rather the formulation in writting
of many dorm arguments and nu-merous
dining hall discussions. To
those who have been more for-tunate
not having heard this be-fore
I trust that it will be some-what
enlightening. In my opinion
the procedure for the election
of the officers of the Student Sen-ate
and the Religious Council is
a bit estranged from my concept
of democracy and common Parli-mentary
Proceedure, as outlined
by Robert's Rules of Order. The
By-Laws fall down on three points.
(1) The report of the nominating
committees is not approved by the
electorate of the Student Associ-ation.
(2) The electorate is not
given the opportunity to petition
additional nominations. (3) The
By-Laws allow election on a mere
plurality not a majority of the
votes cast. The election of a few
weeks ago was guilty of all of the
above mentioned charges. There
are those that claim that exped-ienty
dictates that school politics
be run in such a way. I think that
it is a sad state of affairs when
"democratic Baptists" resign our-selves
to the dictates of a few,
here, at Bethel, we supposedly
because we either don't believe in
democracy or else just haven't got
the interest in student govern-ment.
I hope that next year Art-icle
5 Section I of the By-Laws of
the Student Association will be
changed to conform with the spir-it,
at least, of democratic process-es.

Students Plan 21 Weddings
It is said that "in spring a young man's fancy turns to where a
girl's has been all year," and it seems that this very thing has happened
on campus—with the fancy turning to love—and many Bethel couples
will be getting married, come June and the following summer months.
The day after school closes, June 6, Marlys Klatke and Cal Edlund
will be married with Dr. Robert Smith, professor of philosophy at
Bethel, performing the ceremony at the Bethlehem Baptist church in
Minneapolis.
Also on June 6, Tamson Lindbloom and John Yonkers and Mar-lene
Belshe and Marvin Christenson will be married in a double cere-mony
in Soudan, Minnesota.
