Rev. Leonard Carroll
Addresses Daily Chapels
Bethel students have had the opportunity this week of looking
into the professional world through the eyes of eight Christian 'Laymen
Who are successful in their fields.
On Monday night, Dr. James Horner, a research chemist, spoke
for the field of science, especially chemistry, and Mr. Gordon Jaeck,
chairman of the Minnesota Parole Board, in a separate seminar told of
the need and opportunity for Christians in social work. On Tuesday
night medical science was represented by Dr. Alfred Hewitt, a psychi-atrist
at Great Lakes Naval Training Station; while Rev. Gerald B.
Smith, church editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, dealt with the
field of journalism and related areas under the general heading of mass
communication. These men have tried to answer for the students such
questions as: What kind of a job can I get? What preparation do I
need? How can I serve Christ in this field?
In the morning chapels Rev.
Leonard Carroll has been speak-ing
on the spiritual aspects of our
vocational choices. On Monday he
gave his personal testimony of
God's leading. On Tuesday, Wed-nesday,
and today he stressed the
importance of serving God in ev-ery
occupation and explained how
we may find God's will for our vo-cational
choice. Tomorrow his
theme will be "Living the Life."
Rev. Carroll's style is conversa-tional
and practical; "I want to
avoid preaching," he says.
Tonight seminars will be con-ducted
on government service, with
Mr. Sheldon Beanblossom, a rep-resentative
to the Minnesota Leg-islature,
speaking on the contro-versial
topic of Christians in law
and politics; and on education, led
by Mr. Clemens Fredeen, princi-pal
of South St. Paul Junior High
School. Tomorrow night's discus-sions
will be on the ministry and
business; Rev. Eric Lindholm, pas-tor
of Bethlehem Church, and Mr.
Arnold Wicklund, a Christian bus-inessman,
will be the speakers.

Dr. Ramm Accepts Position
At Baylor University
Last week, Dr. Bernard Ramm officially accepted a call to Baylor
University.
Dr. Ramm will remain at Bethel until the end of the school year
and will begin in his teaching capacity at Baylor University next Sep-tember.
Baylor is a Baptist university in Waco, Texas, with approxi-mately
five thousand students. Besides its liberal arts program, it also
has schools of law, dentistry, and medicine. Next year, it is granting a
Ph.D. degree in religion for the first time, and Dr. Ramm will be the
director of that course. He will be teaching courses in the philosophy
of religion and also in theology.
This is Dr. Ramm's fourth year
of teaching at Bethel. He joined
the faculty in September, 1950.
During his stay here, he has
taught various courses in Bible and
philosophy and also several dif-ferent
courses in the Seminary.
Dr. Ramm came to Bethel from
Biola (Bible Institute of Los An-geles)
where he previously taught.
He has been on the faculty of the
Los Angeles Baptist Seminary. He
possesses an A.B. degree from the
University of Washington and a
B.D. degree from the Eastern Bap-tist
Seminary. He received his
M.A. and his Ph.D. degrees from
the University of Southern Calif-ornia.

"Love took up the glass of time
And turned it in his glowing hand;
Every moment, lightly shaken,
Ran itself in golden sand."
Beautiful that, the "sands of time" are golden because every mo-ment
is so very precious. "Time is of the essence." "Lovest thou life,
look well to thy time for of such stuff is life made."
We have heard that "the morning hour has gold in its mouth." And
Dr. Russell Conwell, that great pastor and founder of Temple University,
wrote a book long years ago on "Manhood's Morning."
F. W. Boreham of Australia preached a great sermon on the text:
"It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." Lam. 3:26.
While in college I had a morning paper route — one of the finest
things for a student — good exercise, fresh morning ozone, good busi-ness
training and good income.
I would often run as I made my circuit. One morning I met an
elderly Negro friend who with a ' Pphilosophic mind" commended my
rather unusual activity with the words: "That's right, you run now and
you won't have to run when you are old."
What are we doing with the dawn, the sunrise, the morning of life!
Well, I believe we are doing much with it. That is why we are here at
Bethel.
It is thrilling to read the biographies of great leaders of other years
who began early to build a life of strength and beauty and service. How
important it is to make every moment count, and "have fun" doing it.
"God will help you and that right early." Psalm 46:5.
Every student should read the biography of Phillips Brooks at his
earliest convenience.
Bishop Brooks' European trip makes interesting reading. Of course
he was a great admirer of Lord Tennyson, and we have the picture of
the two sitting together talking in the library of the great poet — until
late in the night.
Bishop Brooks put the question to Lord Tennyson: "What would
you say is the greatest line you ever penned in all our writings?" The
great poet thought a moment and then he began to quote from Locksley
Hall:

Mental Momento
by Lois Eliassen
One morning the assistant manager of the company I worked for
came whistling into the office. He was always in good spirits and
consequently was liked by everyone.
"Well, what's new today, Bill?" someone asked.
"Nothing unusual," he retorted. "Say, ya know, I was reading in
the Newsweek Magazine about a terrific new memory course that has
been worked out. Some of our girls here at the office should take it,"
he said with a wink. "No kidding though, it's really something. After
taking the course you can remember dates by the hundreds; you can
remember words in a dictionary and even remember what page and
column to find them on. You can remember factual material 50 per
cent better than you could before. The fellow who worked it out is
some genius."
"Say, that is interesting," the manager said, hanging up his coat.
He had come in just a few minutes before, so got in on Bill's little
dissertation. "What was the fellow's name?" Bill looked at him with
an odd expression on his face. "Golly," he said. "I don't remember."

A new course has been insti-tuted
at Bethel under the name
of "Pathetic Strecharianism and
Polasaaridities of Human Zoo-loos."
The study will be interpret-ed
by Dr. Gene Johnson, famous
researcher of the abstract, semi-abstract,
and full-obstracton of
Zoo-loos. Dr. Johnson will lecture
in the student lounge at the hours
of 2:00 to 3:00 a.m., on Monday
through Sunday. This is the only
time the Zoo-loos are active. The
rest of their naturally un-natural
lives is spent snoozing.
The Zoo-loos were first noted
four years ago. Examples of the
typical species found at Bethel are
distributed throughout this page.
They always smile. You would too
if you slept that much! In es-sence
they are culture vultures.
Their species was first originated
in the 18th Century by Robert
Southey and his collaborates.
These men immigrated to the U.S.
and established a type of social
order known as "Disorder." The
plan was to spend two hours a day
in play, and the remainder in
pleasure. As a result a very con-tented
species was originated, the
Zoo-loos.
At the bottom of the page, this
very same page that your eyeballs
are resting on, is a picture of a fe-male
Zoo-loo. Hold the page in
the middle of your face. Then let
your eyeballs look down. She
should be right side-up according
to Zoo-loo logicians. That's her
latest boy friend in her arms. Her
last steady got poisoned by rat-poison.
She's convinced that's
what happended because she fed it
to him. She explained, "It was as
easy as feeding the kids in the
cafeteria."
Dr. Gene Johnson has reported
that the Zoo-loos in captivity at
Bethel may be viewed during the
day in their natural day-incarna- •
tion, lounge lizards. But they-re
completely harmless!

Once upon a time in the hot, steamy, wet, forest of somewhere
there lived a bear. Now this bear was not just any kind of bear. Oh
no, he was a very special kind of a bear. And he grew nowhere except
in this hot steamy wet somewhere. But he did not always grow there.
For —
Once upon another time baby billy slivka and his botany boobs
went on an early morning exposition into the dark regions of some-where
else. It was here they found something under one of the trigs.
After many questions from the group, the Baby pronounced his verdict.
It was a genuine "Lepus Europaeus Ursidae" That's right. That's
right. That's right. That's what it was. The group, he gathered from the
raising of their hands, was generally unimpressed. Muttering "Wana,
Wana," with butterfly net in hand they chased this bear in the woods
round and round, and then round
with
round some more. Round about
this time they caught this tail with a bear attached and brought him
back to here. Here is paradise, otherwise known as Bethel.
After much coaching they finally (they, a group of many esteemed
professors namely Engwall, Bloom, Moberg, and others of this type)
taught him (this bear now out of the woods) to perform a few simple
tasks. The task he could master with the least amount of effort was
washing dishes. This follows for it is commonly known that the correla-tion
between_ high intelligence and dishwashing is relatively low. And
so after much consolation with Pop Lidbom it was decided to put this
bear in the hot, steamy, wet jungle.
Now you know where we are? We're right back in the first
Iaragraph. As we were saying, he grew very nicely in this climate. AP"
climb it he would for bears love to climb. Omnivorous he was. Yes, he
was. He was too! And so he loved honey. Then he found a she "Lepus
Europaeus—Ursidae" and now he really eats up his honey.

departing
in
Solar P.O. 583
"Oh, hee hee, ha, ha, screeeech!
Ooof, urgle—ly swah, ha, ha!"
These were the last words of Hel-en
(Space trip) Messenger as she
began her air - mail expedition.
Then, as her admirers threw in wet
towels, queer looks, dead lizards,
chicken bones (from dining hall
associates) and a good book, How
To Win Friends and Influence So-lar
Plexes and Complexes, the
draw - strings on her space bag
were drawn and Helen became
notoriously ( b u t immediately)
known as Solar P.O. 583. Avail-able
reports and vital statistics
verify that this is her first solar
flight.
This quick trip, scheduled to
bring her back in time for the fall
quarter of 2650 A.D., is the fulfill-ment
of a life-time ambition. In
a recent interview Helen disclosed
to the attending reporters some of
her most intimate desires and most
pertinent facts connected with this
`Shang-ri-la-real-ly." "When I was
born," she began, spitting on her
glasses for emotional effect (which
was actually shocking), "I realized
that I was entering some vast un-known.
Immediately I was aghast
at the vast unknown. It was
ghastly vastly! Later, I met my
parents. Prior to this they were
unknown to me. Always the un-known
focuses! I mean always!
It's so ghastly vastly too. Well, it
is!"
At this point of the interview
Helen threw herself into a wild
contortion to cheer, "Rah, gastly!
Rah, vastly! Rah Rah, gastly vast-ly!"
Then she continued by saying,
"When I began school I noticed
immediately the unknown. The
place was unknown, the kids were
unknown, the teachers were un-known.
Nothing known w a s
known; it was all unknown! Al-ways,
always, the unknown is un-known
to me. And I know it, too.
Well, I do!"
She hesitated, spit on her glasses
again (how vulgar) and blurted out,
"So I says to myself, 'Miss Helen,
the only way you'll ever know the
unknown is to go and know 'em.'
So, I contacted the Bureau for Bet-ter
Social Existence and Persis-tence.
They were insistent to fi-nance
the trip for me. And now,
I'm fulfilling my life-long ambition,
to become known in the unknown."
For her quick trip Helen has
made all the necessary prepara-tions.
She went to a dime-store
and bought a deck of Rook Cards,
a year's supply of all day suckers,
and a life-time Eversharp. She
has studied Marish, Jupitish, Sat-urnish,
and Plutish. If these un
knowns only inhabit vegetation
then she won't talk. She'll eat it!
In case of any emergencies she
can be reached through her pathet-ic-
telepathy with her brother. Any-thing
else can wait and be sub-mitted
in her P.O. Box. A true
Bethelite, Helen was dressed in
Red spike shoes and her letter-sweater.
The school gave her moth-balls
as a good will gesture.

Baseballers Prepare for Season
Walk into the fieldhouse and you'll get beaned. Spectators are
warned to "look out" as thirteen fellows who read "Casey at the Bat'
are whipping into shape for the current baseball season.
Although the workouts are limited because of the weather, the
boys' keen interest in America's favorite pastime is very encouraging.
The workouts to date have consisted of throwing to loosen up the
arms, and pitching and catching by various battery combinations. Most
of the fellows have had experience on the high school diamond and
are seeking to improve their talents to the college level.

Any resemblance to real - life
persons is purely incidental.
The Royalettes (girls basketball
team) suffered their second defeat
of the season at the hand of the
Augsburg girls in their final ef-fort
on March 23 in the Augsburg
field house.
As was the case in so many var-sity
games, height was the decid-ing
factor. Augsburg, the only
team to beat the Royalettes this
season, made it "two for two" as
they won by a cool 12 point mar-gin.
The opposition leaped to an
early lead and the Bethel girls
couldn't seem to erase this mar-gin.
The team had a successful sea-son
in collecting five wins while
dropping only two. It would be
hard to single out any one out-standing
player. They displayed a
real team spirit throughout each
game, as each girl continually
passed off when she had scoring
chances. Top scorers for the sea-son
were Mary Nicol, Marlene An-derson,
and Jan McKinney.
The season schedule has not
been formulated yet, but Del Ray
Peterson has been working on set-ting
this up. The schedule, he in-forms
us, will be completed some-time
next week, and as soon as
the weather permits, the boys will
take their equipment to the field
for serious work. This work will
include calisthentics, fielding-prac-tice,
batting practice, and the sel-ection
of battery combinations for
regular season play. This year's
squad shows real potential.
Those sports enthusiasts who
answered Coach Peterson's initial
baseball call are: Bruce Anthony,
Gaylen Jensen, Frank Burleson,
Gene Anderson, Dave Boes, Jim
Reinoldt, John Walberg, Howard
Johnson, Dale Larson, Bernard Dez-
Bar, Ed Brunzell, John Berg, and
Al Stahnke.
pour in buckets from under the
boards. At half -time the score
stood 49-37 for the Lakers.
The second half began with
even scoring from both teams. By
this time reporters from all the
Twin Cities papers were there and
one could scarcely move without
running into a photographer. Kund-la
repeatedly called time out but
nothing could stop the inspired
Royals.
With the Lakers only two points
ahead, Gene Messenger dribbled
around Whitey Skoog anti went
all the way in and tried a left
handed push shot and was fouled
by George Mikan. The basket was
good and Gene wished the free
throw to go ahead by one point.
The thundering applause was
deafening as the crowd went wild.
The Lakers called time out. The
game was temporarily halted and
the public address announced that
the play would not resume until
the fans cleared the-floor. In a
matter of minutes there was a sem-blance
of order and play was re-sumed.
From then until the end
of the game the two teams fought
it out evenly with the Lakers
usually on top by about three
points.
As the final seconds waned and
Lakers holding a three point lead,
chose to run the time out, as
Martin dribbled around at the half
court circle. Then Steinhaus
slipped up, snatched the ball and
flipped it to Harold Erickson who
plunked it just as the final buzzer
sounded. The fans went berserk as
the referee signaled for a free-throw.
The auditorium was like a
tomb as Erickson stepped to the
free-throw line. He hesitated, then
shot. The ball rolled around the
rim and dropped in, and the con-test
went into overtime.
Mikan scorred two quick ones
with Saul helping out with a free
throw. The Royals, down by five,
gave it everything as Burleson and
Messenger each scored a bucket.
The Lakers got the ball with sev-en
seconds remaining and dribbled
out the clock. As the final buzzer
sounded, the fans stormed the
players and the auditorium again
resembled a madhouse. Some fans
just sat in awed silence as the
teams left the floor.
The final score — Lakers 97,
Royals 96.
Incidently, Paul Redin, who col-lected
37 points in the wild con-test,
has been named the oustand-ing
small college player of the
year. Paul also will miss school
for the next week as he has been
signed to play for the Lakers in
their post season tournament. —
Wana Wana larampe!
,The lowly Royal hoopsters, who
had only a mediocre record in reg-ular
season play, shocked the fans
into utter hysterics at the Minne-apolis
Auditorium as they nearly
nipped the famed world champion
Lakers in a post season fill-in
game. The Fort Wayne Pistons,
who were scheduled to play the
Lakers, failed to show up at the
appointed hour last Saturday night,
and Laker coach Johnny Kundla,
a schooltime chum of Del Ray Pe-terson,
called the Bethel mentor
and arranged a last minute game.
He explained that the tickets had
already been sold and the Lakers
could use the practice.
The fans sat back to watch the
stomp, and the first few minutes
were just that as the Lakers
jumped to a 16.3 lead in the first
five minutes. Then the Royals
caught fire. All that the Royals
had missed during the regular sea-son,
they hit now. Conrad got
three straight `shots from ten feet
out from the free-throw circle and
hit for six. Paul Redin began to
