Student Union Heads for November Opening
The week-end of October 10-11 marks homecoming for Bethel,
meaning float making, parading, decoration, judging, sports, entertain-ment,
seeing old faces, and spiritual fellowship.
Most plans for the event are still in the making, however, Rodney
Erickson, general chairman has given the following general informa-tion:
Registration starts Friday morning, October 11. Most of Friday's
program runs in the vein of entertainment with a special social gather-ing
in the field-house in the evening for the entertaining program
emceed by Cal Edlund, Seminary middleman.
On Saturday noon all building
decoration must be completed and
floats must be lined up in the
parade line. Both will be judged at
1 p.m. A varsity football game is
scheduled in the afternoon against
Northland of Ashlund, Wisconsin,
starting at 2 p.m. Dormitory open
house is at 5 p.m. and a smorgas-bord
will be served in the dining
hall between 5 and 7 p.m.
The Student Council has ruled
that those decorating dormitories
may only spend $25.00 on their
projects and all organizations
sponsoring floats are limited to
$15.00 for materials.
Main speaker for the Saturday
night service of devotion and dedi-cation,
led by the Alumni, is Rev.
Maurice Wessman, pastor in Sioux
Falls, S. D., and Bethel seminary
graduate.
OSA has found a necessary place
in the echelons of Bethel's grow-ing
student body in assuming a
great share of the responsibilities
formerly handled through the
dean's office. Furthermore, it cen-tralizes
and co-ordinate the entire
scope of the campus student6activi-ties
as laison service between stud-ent
and administrative channels.
For instance: Its services include
files available to all organizations
and faculty, showing interests and
experiences of individual students.
These files are used extensively
by the Student Council and Re-ligious
Council in the selection
of personnel for campus offices
and activities.
Student committees and their ad-visors
make these offices their
headquarters. From time to time
you will find the Christian service
committee busily engaged in map-ping
out gospel team strategy, or
the Student Council social com-mittee
planning school events. The
executive cabinets of the Student
and Religious Councils frequently
meet to evaluate and organize their
plans—immediate and long range.
In essence, this is the student's
office—for YOU.
Now that you have been briefly
introduced to OSA, we hope you
will inquire into its services for
you and thus become acquainted
with the "enw hub" of student ac-tivities.
SEE YOU AT
THE GAME TOMORROW
Mr. E. G. Norstrom, maintain-ance
man on campus, has equipped
the first study table on the east
side of the library with six electric
outlets where students will plug
in the viewers for their study.
Art slides will be kept on file
in the card catalogue for easy
reference. All necessary equipment
for this service has not been in-stalled
yet, but by October 1 this
feature ought to be complete for
operation, according to Miss Axeen.
This service is primarily for stud-ents
in the college art classes, but
is also available to all students
and faculty.
4iiention
Today is the last day your
picture can be taken for the
1952-53 school annual without
causing you inconvenience. A
photograph studio is set up in
the library of the boys' dormi-tory
and your picture can be
taken if you get over there to-day.
A charge is made of $2.00
to have your picture taken, how-ever,
if you have-been on cam-pus
before and want a former
picture used, a fee of only 50
cents is made. The faculty is
urged to have their picture ar-rangements
made, being at the
same cost.
Five Are Added
To Faculty
Several additions have been made
to the Bethel faculty this year.
The new Assistant Professor in
Chemistry is Dr. David Nelson who
has his Ph. D. degree from the Iowa
State College where he taught be-fore
coming to Bethel.
Dr. Bernard Ramm, Professor in
Philosophy, is returning to Bethel
this year. He received his B. A.
from the University of Washington,
his B.D. from Eastern Baptist Sem-inary,
and a Ph.D. in Philosophy
from the University of Southern
California.
Mr. Paul Grabill, the new Instruc-tor
in English, has his M.A. from
the University of Illinois and is
now working on his Ph.D. Degree
in English.
The voice instructor, Mr. Roger
Bailey, received his B.Sj from the
University of Minnesota and is pre-sently
working on his Master of
Education and Master of Arts de-grees.
In addition to serving as
Instructor in Voice here at Bethel,
Coming to us with his B.S. from
the University of Minnesota, Mr.
William Hauser is the new Instruc-tor
in Spanish.
Council Nominates
Host and Hostess
Candidates Tues.
All candidates for host and
hostess of this year's homecoming
activities will be nominated next
Tuesday evening at the Student
Council meeting, by Council mem-bers.
The following Wednesday
will be student council chapel when
ballots will be passed out and an
election made.
A hot racial and religious issue
faces this year's debate squad. The
national inter-collegiate debate
topic is: "Resolved, that the Con-gress
of the United States should
enact a compulsory fair employ-ment
practice law."
Debate coach, Mr. Paul Grabill, is
out to produce top-notch debaters.
The near 20 on the team meet
every Tuesday evening at 8:00 to
discuss the issue. A promise that
Bethel's best debaters will prob-ably
take in a tournament of con-siderable
distance (maybe the east
or west coast) holds each one at
his best. To test their sharpness a
debate tournament of colleges in
the Twin Cities will be held at
Bethel sometime in November.
Students in the college may still
get into debate, regardless of ex-perience,
if they go to the meet-ings
in room 204 of the college
building on Tuesday evening at
8:00. Those interested are, how-ever,
requested to come out within
the next two weeks.
Ramm Speaks Tuesday
On "Nature of Man"
Dr. Bernard Ramm, of the sem-inary
speaks on the subject, "The
Nature of Man," next Tuesday
evening, September 23, at 8:30 p.m.
in the seminary lounge. The meet-ing
is designed for philosophy stu-dents
of the college and all sem-inary
students. Students in these
departments of the school as well
as all faculty members are invited
to attend.
This meeting is the first of a
series of discussions to be held
throughout the year on subjects re-lated
only to philosophy and theo-logy.
Announcement will be made
of each meeting.

The reward for inconvenience is just around the corner! If all goes
according to schedule, our new student union will be ready for opera-tion
by the middle of November and possibly before.
Steel for the project is due to arrive within the next ten days. Then
the Standard Construction Company of St. Paul takes over for a month
to change the balcony of the old gym into a 71 by 43 foot room, the
home of the first Bethel student union.
After construction is completed Palm Brothers, restaurant sup-pliers
in St. Paul, will supply and install fountain and grill equipment.
Plans okayed by the school board last June call for a soda fountain,
a grill equipped with a French fryer, plus booths to seat at least
eighty-five comfortably. The booths include eight regular size ones, two
extra large ones, plus a few two-seaters, all upholstered.
A loung, 35 feet long and 21 feet wide will be sectioned off on
the southeast corner. The lounge will be furnished with durable hotel-type
upholstered furnishings.
The Bethel bookstore will occupy the southwest corner of the
room. Shelves will cover the walls with display tables placed in the
center.
Well, is it worth waiting for?
Nat'l Elections Will Play
Active Role On Campus
Clarion Staff Plans
Party Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow evening at 7:30, in the
recreation hall of Edgren dormi-tory,
the Clarion staff and pros-pective
journalists will meet for
a get-acquainted social. Seventy-five
invitations were sent to those
students who indicated a desire to
work on the Clarion in their acti-vities
questionnaire.
The evening will include enter-tainment,
a brief outline of pro-cedure
by Editor Roger Hedberg,
and a short talk by Dr. Virginia
Lowell Grabill, Chairman of Beth-el's
English Department, on "Chal-lenge
to Write."
Punch and ice cream along with
recreation and fellowship follows.
New Office of Student Affairs
Will Coordinate Campus Activities
Among the new features of Bethel campus is the newly created
Office of Student Affairs (OSA). Occupying the dean's former office
and the personnel department on the first floor of the college building,
Mr. Elving Anderson serves as Director of Student Affairs and the
Student Health Service, while Mr. Featherstone shares this office as
Director of Christian Service and Student Employment. Mrs. Gordon
Hanstead serves as secretary for both offices.
Library Soon Features Slide
Collection of 900 Paintings
Over 900 reproductions of classic historical paintings will soon be
made available to all students for study in the library. According to
Miss Axeen, head librarian, these reproductions are in the form of
slides to be studied with the aid of slide-viewers which will light up
and magnify the subject. Several slide viewers were recently purchased
by the library and will be checked out to students for use in the library
only. The collection includes painting from the beginnings of recorded
history, through the Renaissance, down to the modern day.
Debate Has Over
Twenty Prospects
A Political Action Committee was appointed by the Student Council
last Tuesday night to stimulate campus interest in the corning national
election in November. Although no plan of action has been definitely
stated as yet, Delores Olson, Council secretary, stated that the functions
of this committee might include such action as publicizing the main
issues in the political campaign;
publicize party candidates; sponsor
a mock political convention; bring
candidates for state offices to the
campus to speak;, or to arrange for
debates on current political issues.
Serving as chairman of this com-mittee
is Robert Sandin, seminary
senior. His committee members are
Ed Stayton, seminary junior, Paul
Thompson, seminary middleman,
Joe Neimeyer, college senior, and
Robert Hilton, college junior.
Four years ago, in the national
election, much interest was main-tained
among the student body by
a mock convention held in the
chapel after which an election was
held. How will Bethel vote?

(This article was written by the author of a feature entitled "Archie the Cock-roach,"
which appeared in the Clarion five years ago. Silverfish and Cockroaches are
enemies from the beginning of time which explains the sentiment here expressed.
Sinorgy, subject of last year's column "Smorgy, the Silverfish" never has been on
good terms with Archie. Perhaps Smorgy will speak his piece in the next issue.)

The Solid Rock
by Dean Carlson
The element of rhythm seems to be packed very deeply into the organization of
the universe. The temperature, rainfall, and other weather cycles are just taken for
granted as being somehow related to the more basic cycles. But the evidence
is strong that the sun and the moon, the business activities, the physiological pro-cesses,
the psychological moods, and much more, are all somehow tied together into
a vast complex rhythmic universe.
School life is not free from the phenomenon. If we had the devices with which
to measure studiousness we would certainly find wide variations during the year.
Similarly, if we could measure enthusiasm in school life we would see it fluctuate with
the seasons. Many other features and aspects of school life take on an "annual"
quality, or some cycle.
It is important that we be aware of these relationships so that we can approp-riately
evaluate our experiences ; Should we judge the scholarship of the group
on the basis of the first week, it would be a disappointing evaluation. Should we
mistake the enthusiasin of the opening of school to be spiritual fervor and consecra-tion,
we would also be misled. Should we confuse winter fatigue as being lost vision
or broken dedication, it would be unfortunate, indeed. Perhaps we should even be
careful not to mistake spring for love.
Intelligent life planning includes Ways and means of meeting these cyclic exper-iences.
We plan vacation to escape summer heat or hay fever. We have homes and
heating plants to take care of the storms of winter and lights to overcome the coming
darkness. Is it possible to plan now for offsetting the psychological and spiritual ups
and downs of the year before us? At least we can identify our experiences correctly,
and label them correctly. Diagnosis constitutes a large first step toward finding ap-propriate
and effective antidotes.
There is a "solid rock" upon which we can build, and it stands in strong con-trast
to the shiting sands of the human shore line. There is one who is "yesterday,
today, and forever the same" inspite of waves, cycles, and trends. More of the
divine and less of the human must always be our goal.

Welcome, Sem. Students
by Dean Omark
The eighty-second school year of the Sem-inary
has opened with a large enrollment.
A preliminary check reveals that 151 stud-ents
have registered as of September 15th
and there will be some additional late
registrations. Last year the total for the
fall quarter was 151.
The faculty and administration welcome
this large student body warmly. They as-sure
them of deep personal interest and
fervent prayer for their success.
Bethel Theological Seminary is a symbol
of sound doctrine, sincere consecration and
joyous fellowship. Faculty and students con-stitute
a fraternity of Christian scholarship
in which the glory of Christ is the para-mount
consideration. While this may sound
idealistic it nevertheless describes the pat-tern
of school life which our founder, John
Alexis Edgren, established, and which has
been perpetuated.
To all who enter Bethel Theological Sem-inary
this fall, cherishing these ideals, we
extend a warm hand of welcome.
While the Greenies
Were Away
by Mary Radunz
Seven-fifty-five, Girls' dorm. Sophomores:
innocent, studying. Freshmen: suspicious,
locking doors, leaving for reception.
Eight-five. Freshmen: gone. Sophomores
—hmmm, I wonder what they're up to—
"Quick! Who's got the cornflakes? And the
sugar and salt? Downstairs? I'll get the
salt, and, oh yes, the master key! Hurry!
Not much time, lots to do, now, one to put
the cornflakes in the beds, one straighten
them out again, one to unscrew light bulbs
—here—take the sugar and salt for some
of the beds—variety you know. Let's see-cornflakes—
salt—we almost forgot the
alarm clocks! Two thirty or three should
be fine—and really hide them good. And
the vaseline and light bulbs—we'll do that
last—and I'll take care of the drawers—
alright kids—get busy! Time's going fast!
Unscrewing light bulbs—running from
first to third with armfuls of drawers.
Hurrying, hurrying—stop! Shhh—some-one's
coming. C-r-e-a-k, slowly the door
opened . . . in popped a head.
Sally! Boy, you scared us. Help me with
these drawers. Only a few minutes left.
Start the vaseline now—doorknobs, light
switches, drinking fountains, telephones.
Nine forty-five, Girls' dorm. Sophomores:
innocent, studying. Freshmen: "Where's my
lightbulb"—"Anybody got any extra draw-ers?"—"
Ih no, cornflakes!" Drawers slam-ming,
people yelling, running back and
forth. Suspicions justified.
Dedicated
To the Freshmen ..
How nice it is to be superior!
Because really, it's no use pretending, one
is superior isn't one?
I mean people like you and me.—
Quite! I quite agree.
The trouble is, everybody thinks they're
just as superior
as we are; just as superior.—
That's what's so boring! People are so
boring.
But they can't really think it, do you think?
At the bottom, they must know we are
really superior
don't you think?
don't you think, really, they know we're
their superiors?—
I couldn't say.
I've never got to the bottom of superiority.
I should like to.
"But if we walk in the light as He is in
the light, we have fellowship with one an-other.
And truly our fellowship is with the
father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."
These words seemed to be the key and
theme of the freshman retreat this year.
For, it truly was a week-end of real fellow-ship—
fellowship with each other and with
the Lord Jesus Christ. This fellowship was
mentioned in a message given by Dr. Virgil
Olson and in a talk by Herb Hage at one
of the campfire services. Both times the
freshmen were challenged to not only have
fellowship with each other but to make
sure that their fellowship was with the
father.
It seems as if it is to hard to get acquain-ted
with everyone in a new school. Big
Trout really overcame this obstacle. For
whether it was in worship, fun, or fellow-ship,
the freshmen were constantly learn-ing
to know each other better. The first
evening, Virgil Olson, Gene Johnson, and
Doris Moberg presented a skit at the social
hour. Virgil Olson, playing the part of a
very dignified personal from the great
city of Chicogo, was arrayed in fine clothes
and a very large nose. The green mop
worn as hair and the over-stuffed trousers
and suit-coat worn by Gene Johnson really
charactreized the uneducated Texan that he
represented. Doris Moberg was the ever-patient
office girl in Dean Carlson's office.
Put the three together and you really have
a hilarious time. Other things on the pro-gram—
a reading by Shirley Anderson, a
skit, a modern version of Cinderella, and
a Swedish Reading by Mrs. Sjordal—also
added to the success of the evening.
Although it was very cold after the social
hour, everyone gathered on the point for
a time of singing and witnessing around
the campfire.
On Sunday, messages were given by Gene
Johnson and Dr. Virgil Olson. In the even-ing
a campfire service was held in the
chapel around the fire-place. At that time,
many freshmen told how the Lord had led
them to Bethel.

"Well begun is half done." Whether it
be the housewife and her dishes, or the
preacher and his sermon, or the salesman
and his interview—the moment they actual-ly
arise and set to work on the task, there
is at once the feeling that the seemingly
impossible is already under way, and the
completion is not far.
And so there is a thrill about beginning
school again—and especially for the fresh-men.
There was much deliberation and con-sultation,
much prayer and wrestling with
the "divided mind," but finally the decision
was made and now you can say with Gen-eral
Pershing when he landed in the first
World War in France with the famous
Rainbow Division, "Lafayette, we are here."
But now that you are here, there will be
many decisions crowding each day, and on
the wisdom of these decisions will depend
so largely the success of the years' work
and fellowship, and indeed your entire
future life.
May I emphasize just one important de-cision:
Begin eaih day with God. George
Mueller used to say, "I find that if I am
to help others during the day, and cheer
and comfort them, and maybe lead some-one
to Christ,—I myself must be right with
the Lord in the morning and happy and
victorious in my own heart. Otherwise, how
can I help others? So I must spend a por-tion
of time with Him at the beginning of
the day in order to assure a successful
day."
Shall we make that decision number one
for the school year?
Mrs. Pete's
General Store
Buy your ping-pong balls, teddy bears,
shampoo, and razor blades at the new Bethel
bookstore. For, along with the new store
location have been added a notion and
cosmetic counter and certain other "ex-tras",
including stationery, cuddly animals,
jackets, tee shirts and sweat shirts in the
new school colors. Also, mew courses call
for new equipment, some of which is: oil-painting
canvasses, oils and brushes for
the course in oil painting; drawing boards,
T squares, triangles and French curves for
engineering drawing.
But the most important addition to the
bookstore is the new face behind the
counter—that of Mrs. Walfred Peterson,
better known as "Mrs. Pete".
Well qualified for her job as store mana-ger,
Mrs. Pete formerly worked at the
University of Minnesota bookstore, in
charge of the receiving department, and also
in the veteran's department where she did
filing and recording. From there she fol-lowed
her husband to the University of
Washington, where she did work in the
bookstore. Then, returning in 1951 to her
home state, we find Mrs. Pete as the "right-hand
man" at the McCallister bookstore,
doing bookkeeping, ordering, and counter
work.
Upon asking Mrs. Pete what things annoy-ed
her about the Bethel students as they
came through the book line, she laughing-ly
replied, "That would be rather' danger-ous
for me to say!"
So try not to make a bother of your-selves,
Bethelites. We're proud of having
Mrs. Pete in her new manager's role, and
hope she will be with us for a long time.

Veterans planning to train under
the Korean GI Bill should give
careful thought to their choice of
a training program, for under the
law they'll be allowed to change
their course no more than once, the
Veterans Administration said to-day.
structive advice.
Or, if they wish, they may apply
to the VA for advisement and guid-ance,
consisting of tests and thor-ough
interviews given by trained
vocational counselors.
If a veteran makes his single
change of course before his dead-line
for starting training under the
new GI Bill, he will not need the
VA's approval. However, if his pro-gress
was unsatisfactory, he will
have to show the VA that it was
not because of his own miscon-duct,
neglect or lack of applica-tion.
If he wants to change courses
after his deadline—and has never
made a change before — he will
need the VA's approval. This may
be granted, under the law, if the
VA finds that (1) he has not been
making satisfactory progress in his
present program through no fault
of his own, and the program he
wants to change to is more in keep-ing
with his aptitudes and previous
training, or (2) the program in
which he wants to change is a
normal progression from his pre-sent
program.
The deadline for starting—for a
veteran discharge from service be-fore
August 20, 1952—is August
20, 1954. Other veterans, discharg-ed
later, will have two years after
their release from active duty in
which to begin.
Training under the Korean GI
Bill is available to veterans who
served, any place in the world, af-ter
the outbreak of fighting in
Korea, on June 27, 1950. They must
have a discharge or release under
conditions other than dishonorable.
as well as at least 90 days total
service, unless discharged sooner
because of a service-connected dis-ability.
Choir News
MALE CHORUS
Approximately forty Bethel men
were at last Thursday's (a week
ago) first Male Chorus rehearsal.
At least half of these are old mem-bers
from last year. Within a
month, they hope to be out sing-ing
in the churches of this area.
Plans for a spring tour are under
way, but nothing definite has been
decided.
GIRLS CHORUS
There will be no girls chorus
year.
CHAPEL CHOIR
At the first rehearsals of the
Chapel Choir, approximately fifty
people were present, with at least
eighteen being last year's mem-bers.
Much of the repetoire of last
year will be used again, although
a number of new songs have been
purchased. A spring tour is being
discussed but plans for it have not
been formulated.
Members of the choir who went
on last year's •California trip are
planning a reunion very soon, with
everyone showing their choir pic-tures
and slides.

Q. I believe I am eligible for
training under the new Korean
GI Bill. Can you tell me how
to apply?
A. You can obtain an application
form at any VO office. Fill out
the first five sections complete-ly—
be sure to include your
program of training—and send
the aplication, along with a
photostat copy of your dis-charge,
to your VA Regional
Office. If VA approves the ap-plication,
it will send you a
"Certificate For Education and
Training", which you present
at your school when you en-roll.
Q. I know that I may change the
beneficiaries of my National
Service Life Insurance at any
time, but may I also change
the method of payment of the
insurance?
A. Yes. You may change any pre-viously
selected optional set-tlement
to any other—and you
may do so without the benefic-iary's
knowledge or consent.
Q. Is VA medical treatment avail-able
to World War II veterans
studying under the GI Bill?
A. A veteran-student is entitled

from VA as he would other-wise
get by virtue of his mili-tary

trainees.
Vets' Policy
Changes Made
Veterans may now make their
checks or money orders for gov-ernment
life insurance premiums
payable to the "Veterans Admini-stration."
Heretofore, checks and money
orders had to be made payable to
"The Treasurer of the United
States". As a result many premium
payments were sent to the Treas-ury
Department rather than to the
VA office handling the insurance
account.
Although current VA premium
notices and other forms carry the
old instructions, they may be dis-regarded
until revised forms are
put into circulation after existing
supplies are used up, the VA ex-plained
today.
Veterans also were advised by
the VA not to send cash through
the mails, but to use checks or
postal money orders. Cancelled
checks or money order stubs serve
as premium receipts.

ROBERT FEATHERSTONE
CHRISTIAN SERVICE DIRECTOR
One of the new staff members at Bethel this year is Mr. Feather-stone
who serves as employment manager and director of the Christian
Service Activities. Mr. Robert Featherstone, with his wife and three-year-old
daughter, recently came to St. Paul from the East.
Mr. Featherstone received his B. S. degree at Columbia University
and in 1943 he entered the U.S. Army, serving in the Intelligence
Branch. During this time he studied the Japanese language at Yale
University and also spent eight months studying at the University of
Michigan. Upon his discharge from the Army in 1946, Mr. Featherstone
entered the personnel field in two leading food companies and later,
in the insurance business.
Mr. Featherstone stated he enjoyed his work but he felt that he
should be in the Lord's work, and soon the way opened for him to take
the above position at Bethel.
As soon as Mr. Featherstone came to St. Paul he began contacting
employers and made arrangements for part-time jobs which many stud-ents
have already filled. Some of these jobs include typing, filing, gen-eral
office work, retail sales, freight handling, and other miscellaneous
types of work. Mr. Featherstone as yet has no exact count of the num-ber
of students who are working, but there are more jobs available for
those who are interested in securing part-time employment.

Bethel Tangles With Wop In
Football Opener Tomorrow
by Gene Messenger
Along with the optimistic feeling that accompanies a team whenever
a new coach takes over, an enthusiastic and highly spirited aggregation
of Bethel football players will stream onto the Highland Park gridiron
tomorrow afternoon when Bethel tangles with the Wahpeton Science
School in the 1952 opener.
Utilizing a T-formation with the incidental ornaments of a modern
offense, Coach Winterble will field a team claiming only ten returning
lettermen from last year's squad.
Winterble New
Football Mentor
In its desire for enlarging the
sports program at Bethel College
and.creating more interest in cam-pus
athletics, the administration
has secured Mr. William Winterble
of Madison, Wisconsin as head foot-ball
coach for the 1952 season.
Mr. Winterble is a graduate of
Carleton College, Northfield, Min-nesota,
where he played halfback
for three years.
For the past two seasons Mr.
Winterble has assisted with coach-ing
duties at Carleton College.
Eager to have the team in good
physical condition for the opener
with Wahpeton tomorrow, the new
mentor has scheduled practice each
day since the arrival of the fresh-men
on campus.
Assisting in the coaching duties
will be Mr. Elmer Fischer of Lodi,
California. Mr. Fischer, a seminary
senior, played four years as a full-back
for Sioux Falls College in
South Dakota. This will be Mr.
Fischer's third year as an active
promoter in Bethel's sports pro-gram.
Pete Unruh of Mt. Lake, Minne-sota,
is the team trainer while John
Swanson of Cadillac, Michigan,
serves as team manager.
Cliff Smith and Jim Mason will
chart and score the games for re-porting
and strategical purposes.

Hamline Pipers Test
gridder's Strength
In an attempt toward cementing
a firmer reputation in collegiate
athletics Bethel's football team
mixes with the Hamline Pipers on
the Piper's field October 25. This
will be the first real test for the
Bethelites as they encounter the
Pipers in a Snelling Avenue duel.
Hamline, a member of the Min-nesota
College conference, should
give the Bethel team and coaches
an idea of what is to come if Bethel
gains a berth in the Minnesota
Conference in the future.
Two other new foes are on this
year's schedule; the Wahpeton
Science School team comes here
on September 20 for the opener
and on October 31 Emmetsburg,
Iowa, invades the Bethel gridiron.
Rochester Junior College, Itasca,
Worthington, and Northland will
be the other four teams rounding
out the seven game schedule.
Approximately twenty players
will don the blue and white for
their first game in collegiate com-petition.
Returning lettermen in-clude
Phil Carlson from Evanston,
Illinois, last year's captain, and
Bob Carlson from Manistique,
Michigan, voted the team's out-standing
player in 1951.
Included on the experienced play-er
list are Jim Baxter, Gene Glad-er,
Fred Thomas, Virgil Hegle, Bob
Franzen, Berge Hoogasian, Don
Erickson, Paul Moon, Mel Nygren,
and Al Christiansen.
The weight of the forward wall
promises to be one of the strongest
traits which finds Al Richer, a 275
pound guard from Lincoln Park,
Michigan. Bob Franzen from Min-neapolis
and Carl Christenson from
Muskegon, Michigan also tip the
scales over the 200 pound mark.
Bob Kendall from Minneapolis
barks the signals and also does a
major proportion of the kicking
and passing. Speedy Jay William-son
from Burlington, Washington,
occupies the left half position with
Jim Baxter from Minneapolis at
fullback and Harley Schroeder
from Mt. Lake, Minnesota, at right
half.
Other backs likely to see plenty
of action include Clif Schroeder,
Fred Thomas, Chuck Smith, Don
Stipe and Don Erickson.
Barring any late practice injur-ies
Coach Winterble's team should
be in top physical shape for the
opening tussle. The warm Septem-ber
weather has been an aiding
factor in whipping the players in
shape as they have been working
out for the past three weeks.
This will be the first time that
Bethel and Wahpeton have met for
a pigskin duel and the Dakotans
promise to provide an adequate
test for the Bethel Team.
Bethel will be clad in new blue
and white jerseys recently acquir-ed
after changing the school colors.

Looking Ahead —
Royal Riteup
by Gene Messenger
In the St. Paul Pioneer Press of September 12, 1952, Joe Hennessy
in his "Tip of the Morning" column had the following item of interest
to Bethel fans: "St. Paul may have a fourth representative in the Min-nesota
College Conference. Bethel, now a full four-year college, may
fill the vacancy left by St. Olaf. With an enrollment of 600, Bethel
has just completed a modern athletic plant."
For many years Bethel athletes and fans have been waiting for an
opportunity to gain a conference berth. Last spring our application to
the conference was tabled by conference officials but it is hoped that
the officials take action on our application in the near future:
In the near future, cries of homecoming will be echoing across
the campus and ideas for slogans, floats, and decorations will penetrate
the halls and dormitory rooms.
Just to be different how about a homecoming slogan that is adapt-able
to an athletic contest rather than quoting a scripture verse or
phrased In the past we have adopted phrases like "For His Glory",
and went out and got smothered by an opponent. Was it for His glory
that we lost? "By God's Grace" was also used and placed on a booster
pin with a picture of the homecoming host and hostess. Was it by God's
grace that they were on the pin or what was it?
This may sound a bit far-fetched but sentiments of such nature
have been known to reverberate up and down Snelling Avenue on
Homecoming Day. Certainly we could find a slogan which would be
appropriate without having to find it from the Bible.
New Gymnasium
Nears Completion
With only the finishing touches
left on the new athletic gymnas-ium,
Athletic Director Del Ray
Peterson has moved the entire
athletic machinery from the base-ment
of the college building to the
new structure located on the north
end of the campus.
Facilities for dressing, showering,
training, and housing equipment
are now available for use while
the remaining sections will be com-pleted
in the near future. Baskets
for the basketball court are to
arrive this week and the bleachers
will soon be finished and ready for
use.
Interest in Bethel's sports pro-gram
has increased considerably
since the building of the gymnas-ium,
and it should prove to be an
incentive for athletes across the
country. It is an asset that will
prove advantageous in attracting
athletes to Bethel.
