Juniors Announce
Annual Class Play
by Lois Eliassen
The Junior Class will present
"The Sleep of the Prisoners" by
Christopher Fry as the annual
junior class play production. The
one night performance will be on
Saturday evening, April 25th at
eight o'clock.
The cast is composed of only
four persons—Philip Caldeen, Ei-nar
Gjestland, Bill Hansen, and
Ronald Johnson.
Miss Susan Rusinko, instructor
in English, and Mr. Paul Grabill,
assistant professor of English, are
co-directors of the play. The play
is said to have an unconventional
plot and contains both humor and
thought provoking seriousness.
"The Sleep of Prisoners" is
about four men who are held pris-oners
in an old chapel during the
war. Because of the extreme ten-sion
they are under, the events
of the day and the environment,
during the night, they each dream
about Biblical characters, project-ing
themselves into these charac-ters.
This play is a psychological
drama of emotional empathy.
"Protestant Christian Evidences"
is a varification of the Christian
faith in terms of miracles, pro-phecy
and the person of Jesus
Christ. It will be published by the
Moody Press and is expected to
appear for retail sales about Sep-tember
1, 1953.
Repertoire
The varied program consists of
some of the numbers sung by the
choir in previous years. "Ye Sons
and Daughters of the King" by
Leisring, "Thy Truth Within Us"
by Sateren and "The Word Be-lieving"
by Sateren are among
these.
"De Gospel Train" arranged by
Noble Cain and "Creep Along
Moses" an American Folk Song by
Kubik, two negro spirituals are
included in the repertoire.
A group of hymn arrangements,
"From Every Stormy Wind that
Blows" by Hastings, "Come Thou
Fount" arranged by Fewell, "0
Master Let Me Walk With Thee"
by Smith and "Dear Lord and Fa-ther
of Mankind" by Maker will
be sung in the last group.
The concert will include two se-lections
pertaining to the Easter
theme. These are "Easter Morn-ing"
by Christianson and "Go to
Dark Gethsemane" by Noble.
The Swedish Folk song "Chil-dren
of the Heavenly Father" will
be sung in English by the choir
and in Swedish by Doris Moberg.

Ronald Palosaari, college sopho-more,
was adjudged winner in his
round of informative speaking and
was runner-up in the finals. Don
Richardson, college junior, was
declared winner i one round of
encomium. Both received certifi-cates
and participated in the fin-als
of their events.
Out of the one-hundred twenty-four
debate teams from all over
the United States that participat-ed,
Bethel's team of Wendell An-derson,
college senior, and Hilton
placed as number seven in a selec-tion
of teams called the Grand Na-tional
Big Ten teams. Both receiv-ed
certificate awards.
Out of the 248 debaters partici-pating,
Hilton was awarded a cer-tificate
for placing as the third
best debater.
The Grand National Champion
Debate Team was Jack Hubbard
and Jim Cunningham, of the Uni-versity
of Texas. Hilton-Anderson
and Richardson-Polassari were the
two Bethel teams represented.
They met such teams as Prince-ton,
Dartmouth, the University of
Florida, Manhattan College of New
York, Linfield College of Oregon,
and the University of Richmond.
Speaking was not the only thing
the Bethel team did during the
week. Accompanied by their de-bate
coach Paul Grabill, instruc-tor
in English, they visited
Washington D.C., sight-seeing at
such spots as the White House, the
Washington Monument, the Lin-coln
Memorial, and the Library
of Congress.
The team left for Fredericks-burg
Monday morning, March 30th
and arrived back on campus last
Tuesday evening. The team
thought they were royalty the
first night they arrived at Fred-ericksburg
when they signed up
at the Princess Ann Hotel where
"Churchill has stayed." The nights
that followed found them in true
college fashion staying at one of
the dormitories on the campus.
Minnesota State Championship
Tourney Next Weekend
Vying for the Minnesota state
championship in senior debate
next weekend, will be Wendell
Anderson, Robert Hilton, Donald
Richardson and Ronald Palosaari,
who proved successful at the na-tional
meet in Fredricksburg last
week. This meet on the Univer-sity
of Minnesota campus is the
last tournament for the debaters
this year.
"Hilton and Anderson's rating
as seventh best debate team out of
the 124 entries in the Fredricks-burg
meet, was the team's biggest
achievement in the national meet"
said Mr. Paul Grabill, debate
coach. Grabill indicated that this
team should rate high in the corn-ing
state meet.
Participating in the lower divi-sion
meets will be Gloria Nelsen,
Barbara Ware, Jean Seldon, Cath-ryn
Babbcock, Harold Richardson,
Tom Warden, Donald Fuller and
Einar Gjestlund.
Hilton Takes Two National Awards
Debate Team Rated 7th In Meet
Robert Hilton, college junior, won two grand national champion-ships
at the Grand National Forensic Tournament, held last week at
Mary Washington College on the University of Virginia, Fredericks-burg,
Virginia. Hilton took first place in the men's division for his
declamation "Robert E. Lee," and for his review of Norman Vincent
Peale's book "The Power of Positive Thinking." Hilton, being the
winner of one round in declamation and book-review, climbed to the
top position by defeating the winners of other rounds in each event.
For both events, he received the certificate of Grand National Cham-pion.
I remind myself that I'm beating a dead
horse. But next year let's plan early and
conscientiously to promote a baseball pro-gram.
enit5 of Tbouglit
by President Wingblade
It was Disraeli who said that "life is too
short to be little."
There are people of great wealth and
even great intellects who may have very
small souls and most unsympathetic hearts.
I shall never forget a message by Jacob
Riis, the great newspaper man and philan-tropist
of New York, and intimate friend
of Theodore Roosevelt. He spoke at a
dinner in Minneapolis.
Mr. Riis contrasted
the shrivelled soul
with the great soul.
The first illustration
was that of a wealthy
but cruel woman who
gave impossible com-mands
to her servants
and was finally drag-ged
away by Satan to
the pit. The second
was that of a man who
arose night after night
to carry sheaves from his field to that of
his brother whose family needed bread
more than he. But one night he was dis-covered
by the other man and then the
love became all the. deeper.
John Bunyan portrays Mr. Great Heart.
We need more of that kind. But there
are altogether too many small ones. When
a stingy layman insinuated to his minister
that a pastor should live on souls the
other replied that it would take very many
souls like his to make a decent meal.
Yes, life is too short to be little. When
a wealthy man died and was carried out
to the hearse, someone whispered, "How
much did he leave?" Came the succinct
reply—"He left every cent."
But there is very much else that Mr.
Great Heart can leave when he goes: "The
little unremembered acts of kindness and
of love that make up the best part of a
good man's life."
Many will rise up and call such a one
blessed.
Dr. Wingblade
Page 2 THE 'CLARION Friday, April 10, 1953
Eligibility or Neglect?
WHAT! NO BASEBALL!! Why not? How come? That's terrible! Such were
the comments that came from disappointed readers of the Clarion as they saw
the announcement that Bethel would have no baseball team for the 1953 season.
It must have taken a great deal of prudence on the part of our sports editor
to claim that the primary factor for the dropping of the sport this year was the
eligibility rules.
This reporter agrees that eligibility rules are a necessity to a sports program
that is well integrated into campus activities. And if eligibility rules have elim-inated
baseball from extra-curricular activities because the athletes were low scol-astically,
the rules are just. Certainly no one should be allowed to participate in
such a time-consuming program if their academic work is not satisfactory.
However, are eligibility rules the sole
reason for the dropping of the sport? The
coach called a meeting for all those inter-ested
in baseball. There were 17 in num-ber
at the meeting. Ten out of the 17
were ineligible because of low scolastic
records.
On the assumption that Bethel students
were not interested in a baseball team, the
coach dropped the sport from the spring
program.
Was this a valid conclusion and is such
action justified? Isn't it the job of those
receiving salaries to coordinate and pro-mote
a sports program? Wouldn't it have
been well to have arranged a schedule,
called a number of practices, thereby pro-moting
some interest among the students?
In checking back on records we find
that the first practice of football (practice,
not meeting) last fall found only 13 par-ticipants
on the gridiron. This would seem
to point out to us who become discouraged
easily that enthusiasm has a way of build-ing
up.
At present there are some feeble at-tempts
being made to start a baseball
team. However, these efforts should have
been put forth months ago.
Bethel is considering applying into the
Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Associa-tion.
We would need to field
five sports if we gained admit-tance
to the Association. I doubt whe-ther
we will impress the other collegeg
or the directors in this organization by
dropping baseball from our sports program.
No, Casey hasn't struck out. These Bethel
baseball enthusiasts bemoun that their
sport was dropped this season with such
a short consideration.

I Was a Very Young Christian
name withheld by request
I was sick of pretending to be happy.
Holiness no longer appealed to me.
But whenever I felt a little dissatisfied with "dear old Bethel," so many aren't-you-
saved glances came my direction that I found it expedient to keep up a pre-tense.
I wanted to learn how to live a worthwhile Christian life, but I was hesi-tant
about asking questions for fear that someone would think me a non-Christian.
Consequently I said nothing and did what I thought to be the next best thing: I
tried to appear "holy."
You see, I was a very young Christian.
Before I came to Bethel I had many false ideas of what I would encounter
at a Christian school. Arriving, I received not a few shocks. First of all I had the
odd notion that everyone would be exceptionally friendly and eager to help a
young Christian like myself. The freshman retreat exposed me to a few realities
I had not bargained for. Before the first day of our weekend was over I found
that my fellow classmates weren't nearly so anxious to meet me as I was to meet
them. It was disheartening to realize that these Christian young people were less
friendly than my non-Christian acquaintances.
I realized something else, that first day, also. I seemed different from the
others. You see, being just a young Christian, I innocently wore lipstick, and of
course I didn't look quite so "holy" as the other girls. I entertained the thought
of wiping my lips clean never to stain them again, but the reflection of my color-less
face one morning convinced me that I should seek some other method of gain-ing
"holiness."
You see, I was a very young Christian.
The second day of our week end trip I was delighted when I met Lollie, who
not only wore lipstick but also pancake make-up. Although I did think she went
to extremes, I was thoroughly convinced that here was one girl who had a mind
of her own and a great amount of courage. The other girls eyed her in a skeptical
manner, and since she did wear a bit more make-up than I did, "holiness," I de-cided
was in my possession to a greater degree than in hers. Even though I fol-lowed
the example of my classmates in eyeing her skeptically, I made friends
with her, and the most enjoyable time of the entire week end was when Lollie
told of her high school experiences. I tried to look shocked when the other girls
did, but I enjoyed the tales just the same.
You see, I was a very young Christian.
School began a few days after the retreat was over. With an optimistic view
I began my first day of college. The teachers seemed human and treated the stu-dents
in a friendly manner. Praying before each class period was a new exper-ience,
and I rather liked it.
Only a short time passed, however, before my optimistic outlook tarnished
somewhat. I soon realized that in order to make friends with the students who
seemed to know the Lord better than I, I would have to pretend that I also knew
Him quite well. This was a bit difficult since I had too little talent to participate
in a gospel team and as I didn't live in the dorm I wasn't able to display any
personal pious practices. On the other hand, I felt compelled to witness to those
few girls I considered to be less "holy" than I.
You see, I was a very young Christian.
The majority of the chapel services I considered very dull. A few times
during the year I mustered enough courage to skip chapel, but my conscience
bothered me so much that the next day I returned. One memorable morning a
particularly zealous are-you-saved-brother preacher came to chapel. I was attract-ed
very little to what he said as his vocabulary was limited and his grammar poor.
After the speech there was a time for the raising of hands to signify that a per-son
wanted to become a Christian. Feeling the movement of an arm beside me,
I opened my eyes slightly. Lo and behold, there was Lollie with her hand raised.
I was glad that she wanted to become a Christian, but I was astonished that she
would respond to such a sermon. The service was over shortly, and we walked
out together. All of a sudden a hand thrust itself in front of me, and with an iron-like
grasp it pulled Lollie from before my eyes. In the next instant I heard the
voice that belonged to the hand rumble the words, "You were the one that raised
your hand, weren't you?" Poor Lollie, she must have been frightened to death.
Later I observed that her antagonism toward Christian people and practices had
increased.
My friends and I were always in constant fear of being considered non-Chris-tian;
we couldn't bear the thought of having our names on a prayer list. Con-sequently
we did and didn't do many things which now seem quite humorous.
One morning Patti, another of my friends, came to school in bright finger-nail
polish. It really looked attractive, but we both were afraid that such a bright
red might seem a little worldly. I dared her to leave it on, and she did—until
the end of first period. Then the shocked looks of her classmates put the end
to that.
One week I came to the conclusion, by observing the dress of my fellow class-mates,
that it would be more "holy" of me to wear more drab looking clothes,
and so I wore my black dress for three days in one week. By the third wearing
the dress was a little wrinkled—but I didn't look too much out of place.
By the end of the first quarter I had finally given up the task of trying to
be "holy" and concentrated on merely enjoying myself.
You see, I was yet a young Christian.
Now the third quarter is well on its way and soon my first year of college
life will have ended. But I'm not in the least pessimistic and am anxiously await-ing
to start school next fall — at the University.

You're Not So Hot Part II
by Berge A. Hoogasian
Since I've written those articles on dating I've been accused of
everything from being a cupid to baiting the marriage trap to increase
my future business as a pastor. Certainly no one thinks I'm against
romance—and I'm not! I'm all for it—with reservations. Everything
has its proper place and where romance is concerned that place isn't
in the open. It's not to be witnessed by spectators with score cards
and popcorn. It's a private affair.
Have you ever stumbled over the love sick calves lingering long-ingly
in the hallways of the dorms cooing like inebriated pigeons?
Or have you sat down by mistake on one of the chairs in the
dimly lit lounges only to discover there were two people underneath
you that you thought were part of the furniture? Embarrassing, isn't it?

Some couples have been thought-ful
enough to turn out the lights
altogether while they cuddled
closely. Trouble is, the lights
weren't supposed to be out there
at the time. It wouldn't be so bad
if outsiders weren't prone to en-ter
the lounge and be amazed at
the overt conduct — but sadly
enough, such a thing has actually
happened—and more than once.
That's not all, some of the of-fenders
stand outside the girls
dorm in the half shadows cast by
the midnight light clinging fran-tically
to one another fearful of
the eight hour separation which is
to come all too suddenly.
Listen! I'm glad you're in love.
(That's what it is, isn't it?) But
for goodness' sake don't make an
open display of it. It's not only
unedifying and a cheapening of
something extremely sacred, it's
an extremely boorish representa-tion
of Christian living. It must
give outsiders a low opinion of
our conduct.
I don't know who the offenders
are. I've never been that close.
Nor do I care to be. But I know
that I've been repelled by the bad
taste involved.
If you feel romantically inclin-ed,
go someplace where you can
privately express your devotion.

Prospective Students
March 31 and April 1 saw 151
prospective students mostly from
the Midwest invade Bethel cam-pus.
Although nearly half were
native Minnesotans (22 from the
Twin Cities alone) the prospective
students came from as far East
as Michigan and as far West and
South as Colorado.
In their two and a half day
stay these high school juniors and
seniors (with a few already gradu-ated)
witnessed a whirl of planned
and spontaneous events. High-lighting
the program of visiting
classes, counseling, singing, and
fellowshipping was a basketball
game in which high school letter-men
played Bethel varsity players.

Questions & Answers
For Servicemen
Q. I have just been discharged
from the Armed Forces. Is there
any time limit I have to meet, in
starting training under the Korean
GI Bill?
A. You must begin your train-ing
within two years of the date
of your discharge. Veterans dis-charged

however, must begin by August
20, 1953.
Q. In applying for Korean GI
training, must I submit the orig-inal
of my separation paper (DD
Form 214) along with my applica-tion
form, or will a carbon copy
be satisfactory?
A. You may submit an official
carbon copy of your DD Form 214
as evidence of your active service.
It is not necessary to submit the
original.
Q. My NSLI term policy has lap-sed
for two months. But it hasn't
yet come to the end of its term.
How can I go about reinstating it?

a written application, ac-companied
by two monthly prem-iums
provided you are in as good
health as you were when the
premium lapse d. Application
forms may be obtained at any VA
office.
Q. I'm planning to take a co-operative
course in college under
the Korean GI Bill. Part of the
course consists of classroom stud-ies,
and part consists of working
at a job in my chosen field. Will
I get my monthly GI allowances
for the periods when I'm working,
or only for the time I spend in
class?
A. The monthly education and
training allowances will be paid
both for your classroom time and
the time you spend on the job.

Championship
Game
Tomorrow
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
the Intramural tournament cham-pionship
game between Michigan-
Wisconsin and Iowa will be play-ed.
In regular season play Iowa
won the Intra-states conference by
one game over Mich.-Wisc., who
were tied for second. West, Min-nesota
and Illinois finished the
league in that order. Those play-ing
on the league winning team
are Bud DeBar, Norris Magnuson,
Chuck Smith, Frank Doten, Dean
Olson, Cal Edlund, Harvey De-
Vries and Roger Hedberg.
The same system of teams for
spring sports will be used. Be-cause
of the press for time, the
only spring intramural sport will
be softball. Coach Peterson ob-tained
permission for the teams
to play their games across the
street in the State Fair grounds.
In the next issue you will find a
schedule for the first games.
Dr. Widen Speaks .
At Athletic Banquet
The first annual athletic ban-quet
was held Saturday, March
28, in the River Room of the
Shuneman building in St. Paul.
Last week prospective students
of Bethel college gat a glimpse of
our campus and its various activi-ties.
One of the extra-curricular
activities which the fellows came
in contact with was athletics.
Not only did they see the Bethel
basketball team in action but they
felt them as they were downed by
them in a hardwood duel by a de-cisive
margin.
Opinions and attitudes regard-ing
Bethel's athletic program were
being formed during their brief
stay here. That the basketball
game had a positive effect in in-fluencing
them can't be doubted.
But not all athletes are interest-ed
in basketball and naturally in-quired
about the other sports such
as baseball and track. Some of us
are aware of the circumstances in-volved
and the reasons for not
having these particular sports,
but to explain it to a prospective
student who wants to participate
in this sport becomes an embar-rassing
situation.
For instance, when inquiring
After the smorgasbord a brief
program was held with Dr. W. F.
Widen of Minneapolis as the
speaker. Dr. Wingblade also gave
a brief word of appreciation to
the athletes as did Elmer Fisher,
assistant football coach.
Dr. Widen stimulated the mem-bers
of Bethel's athletic program
with the challenge, "Quit you like
men. Be strong."
about baseball the Bethel athlete
answers the prospect, "Well, we
had a team last year but you see,
we haven't got the interest this
year nor are the fellows eligible
to play because of grades." How
about track? "Track?" answers
the Bethel student„ "Oh, yes, you
see, we haven't got a coach for
track; the fellows work out on
their own."
Many a high school athlete
wants a college with a spiritual
emphasis but wants to feel he
can use his ability while he is in
college. Will this type of a pro-gram
offer him opportunities to
use his ability? Some of us are
beginning to think not.
Bethel's sports pr o g r am
young. It is just beginning to de-velop.
We can't expect winning
teams and top-notch contenders in
every field but we can keep going.
We are at the point now where
we must either go ahead or for-get
about athletics completely.
Let's consider the first before
dropping certain sports from our
program.
