service of Founder's Week.
Mr. George Beverly Shea, gospel singer for the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, will be the guest soloist.
The Rev. Nels Stjernstrom, director of the Bethel Male Chorus,
confirmed the Chicago concert and the East Coast Tour.
On Thursday, April 16, the 30 voice group will board a chartered
Greyhound Bus and begin their four thousand mile journey, Rev. Stjern-
Etrom reported. A "warm up" concert will be held that evening about
a hundred miles from Chicago preceeding the Orchestra Hall concert
the next evening on Friday, April 17, 1953.

Olson and Mr. Johnson will be ac-companied
by their wives.
Outdoor sports have been plan-ned
for the entire group. The
sophomores hope to spend time
ice skating, tobogganing, and play-ing
volley ball. Ice fishing is also
planned. Such indoor games as
ping pong and table games will be
enjoyed. The sophomores are also
anticipating the pillow fights on
the slippery log, an attraction at
Iduhapi.
A talent program is planned for
Saturday night. On Sunday morn-ing
there will be Sunday School
and church, with Dr. Olson speak-ing.
After dinner a final informal
service will be conducted. The
class plans to return to school late

The Proper Thing
Page 2 THE CLARION Friday, February 27, 1953
Congressman Walter Judd last fall said on Bethel Campus that as citizens of
the United States we should have a definite interest in those elected to govern
our nation. Their decisions can alter our present and affect our future.
One needs only to look briefly at a few historical events to confirm such a
statement. Wars, taxes, rationing, are only a few of the contacts we have had
had with our government.
We believe, as Abraham Lincoln said in his Gettysburg address, that, "It is
altogether fitting and proper" to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed to pro-vide
and maintain our freedom, yes, our America.
In the month of February we give credit to two Americans, George Washing.
ton and Abraham Lincoln, who accomlished tasks in their lines that have affect-ed
every individual in America. If we could say to them, "Thanks."
The citizens of this nation elevated these two men to places of leadership.
if they had not expended themselves as they did we would challenge the esteem
in which their reputation is held. However, we are confident that each of these
men would in humility desire no "extra" credit for carrying out their duties.
They would assert that they only did what they thought was the best for their
country by God's guidance.
They would probably attest that the cares of state are much heavier today
than when they were in office. Yet we believe that these two men did their task
well and for that we pay tribute to them.
Their lines symbolize that intangible spirit which we call the "Spirit of
America." It is "fitting and proper" that we esteem these two great presidents,
but in reality we owe equal homage to the men that fought on the Normandy
Beachhead, Iwo Jima, Bunker Hill and Korea, or to the Mayor of Podunkville,
U.S.A., the commissioner of Waterworks, and
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were great men, to be sure, but
to our concept they are more. They are ideals. They are our ideal of freedom.
They are America. For their deeds and for the deeds of all other Americans that
have sacrificed to develop, maintain, and guard this land of ours we praise our
Creator, Sustainer and Savior.
Thank you, Lord God, for America.

Christian Maturity
by Westly Forsline
Keen interest and intellectual stimula-tion
have characterized Bethel students, as
they have shared the beginning of a ser-ies
of chapels sponsored by the Student
Council.
To date we have heard Mr. Elving An-derson,
Dr. Virginia Grabill, and Dr. W.
Robert Smith speak on "Wholesome Extra-
Curriculars" and Mr. Paul Grabill on "In-tellectual
Honesty."
The following chapels have -been, or
are being arranged for, in this series, which
centers in an approach to "Christian ma-turity."
Dr. Paul S. Rees, pastor of the
First Covenant Church in Minneapolis, will
speak on "You and Your Conscience," Bill
Adams, high school coach, will give a mes-sage
on "Opportunities in Athletics," and
"Christians and Politics" will be discussed
by Congressman Judd, this chapel being
sponsored by the Religious Council. Speak-ing
on "You and Your Mission" will be
Rev. Wesley Gustafson, and Dr. C. E. Carl-son
will discuss "Your Concept of Maturity."
Other chapels planned are in the area of
"The Christian and Suffering," "Devotion
and Piety," and two vocational interest
chapels on "Opportunities in Nursing" and
"Opportunities in Education."
The plan of these chapels is built upon
the need for a broader insight into areas
of Christian service and maturity. Too
often life becomes highly compartmental
and a deep sense of responsibility fails
to grip us, or life is viewed with blinders
of rose colored glasses.
My Kingdom for a Date
by Berge Hoogasian
(Part four)
The gentlemen on this campus have loudly cried to be heard, having had
to suffer in silence for several weeks. Sit back, fellows, this is your inning.
First of all, you ladies need some encouragement to be friendly. Almost in-variably
the fellows have told me that the cast down countenance, unwillingness
to smile in greeting boys, and unwillingness even to take any initiative in this
matter is extremely offensive. The common complaint among girls is—"They'll
think we're being forward." I'm sorry, gals—the facts are against you here. You
don't have to throw yourself at the fellows but loosen up a little. Smile and
greet all of , them whether or not you know their names. This friendliness applies
not only on campus but also in classes. And in the final analysis, friendliness is
a positive Christian virtue. Of the twenty or so fellows to whom I spoke, everyone
emphasized the need for more friendliness on the part of almost all the girls.
Take heed.
Along with this idea of being friendly goes dress. The complaint of girls
about the dressing habits of the boys reciprocated. The fellows -think the girls
are sloppy. They say you don't have to be a beauty queen for them to ask you
out (though it helps!), but if you try to dress in taste and cultivate your best ex-ternal
and internal traits the likelihood of your being asked out is much greater.
This means, for example, if you're a little heavy don't wear the baggiest clothes
on the market (or plaids and checks which tend to emphasize obesity) and con-versely,
if you're a "bean pole" don't wear tight-fitting clothes or clothes with
horizontal stripes. (This tends to make you look even thinner—glamour magazines
go hang!) Men don't like that hungry, tired-out look of thin women!) By the
way, while we're at it, men like to see
straight seams on stockings—more women
fail here than are conscious of it!
Along with this developing your best
traits we might add that you should widen
your interests and' reading so that you can
converse intelligently on almost any sub-ject.
You don't have to "know it all." In
fact, if you do, and express it, you can say
goodbye to that date! Further, modulate
your tone of voice; no matter how guilty
boys are of not doing so, they do not like
"loud" girls. When you're dated let the
fellow be the leader in conversation (unless
he's so shy you have to prick him with a
pin every now and then to find out if he's
alive.)
Now about dating formalities:
If you're called four or five days ahead
of time and asked for a date, don't stall
the fellow by asking him to call back again
later. This happened to one fellow. When
he called the second time the girl said she
would be busy. By then it was too late to
ask someone else, but the fellow saw the
girl at the same event with someone else.
Her asking him to call back was tant among
saying: If I can't get something better, I'll
go with you. This is one of the surest ways
of being "blackballed" that I know of.
This next is for the inquisitive girls who
listen to the conversation of others on the
phone talking to boys. Have you never
heard of privacy? It's none of your busi-ness
who's calling or where the girl is be-ing
asked to go. No one likes a snoop.
She's not being ethical, and certainly not
Christian.
When you're asked out, don't accept two
dates for the same day. The boys will
think you're too eager. When you do finally
go out, don't talk about previous dates with
other boys. It's nauseating! And don't con-stantly
gripe. No one likes a griper on a
date.
And no matter how much you like a
boy, NEVER reach for his hand. If he likes
you he'll take the intiative. Boys immense-ly
dislike such action.
Along with the above, don't date one
fellow too often unless you like him ex-tremely
well and do not mind being "out
of the running." If you like to date a fel-low
and yet do not want to be pegged, be
genuinely busy when he asks for dates
too often. And by the way, the excuse that
you're studying is extremely feeble.
Last of all, quit talking about where you
went or what you did on your dates. That's
a private matter.
Thank you for being so kind in reading
these articles. I sincerely hope they have
accomplished the intended purpose.

There is an old saying, and true, that
you cannot eat your cake and have it.
In the old McGuffey readers of other
years (so practically helpful and inspiring
to the children) there was a story of two
brothers, each of whom had received a
New Year's gift from their father.
In opening the packages, one impatiently
cut the strong cord, but the other took
time to untie the knots and saved the cord
in his pocket with the words, "I may need
this some day."
Both enjoyed shooting with the bow and
arrow. Later, in a boys' contest, both par-ticipated,
but the first was unfortunate
enough to break his string, and so was
automatically out of the contest. Soon the
other brother was called up and he also
broke his string, but it was the act of only
a moment to replace it with the strong cord
in his pocket, and he won the contest.
And so the lesson of this story was driv-en
home to the children of that genera-tion—"
Waste not, want not."
You waste your health and strength in
youth through careless living, and in later
years, when you need it for high and holy
purpose—it is gone.
You waste the fleeting moments, and
when the crisis comes you "miss the mark"
because you have not prepared. The value
of time seems to increase (inversely) as
we draw near the examination. We are
told that when Queen Elizabeth lay dying
she exclaimed, "My kingdom for five min-utes!"
Meet Mr. Widgit
by Tom Warden
"Brother, have you got the joy?" "Oh,
that test was a bear, huh?" "Well, don't
get all shook up over it." These consti-tute
only a few of the expressions, initia-ted
by the Widgit, quickly seizing the
campus conversation. Is this the only rea-son
the Widgit is outstanding? This would
quickly be answered by a walk through the
boys' dorm about 10:30 p.m. For truly, I
can say it's hard to decipher between the
mating call of an elephant and the high-pitched,
Tarzan-like shriek, "neeet000", the
only approval expressed by the Widgit.
Despite the shriek of "neeet000," we
dare to explore the dormatory. We look in
one room, amazed that anything could sur-vive
the tornado, for still hanging over
the bureau and book shelves are the Wid-git's
wardrobe, evidently heaped there by
the storm. His desk is completely covered
with books and papers which could only
have been heaped there by a ninety-mile-an-
hour wind. The floor is not to be seen,
so covered by bed sheets, blankets, and
the Widgit's shoes.
So far we've only heard the shriek and
seen the habitat of the Widgit, the self-named
boy (or boys) from California. Now
let us peer around the corner. Lo and be-hold,
we see him. Not only does his call
and room represent something out of this
world, but his dress also. Standing there
in a pair of "long Johns," a straw hat
(completely topped, known only as his dis-tinct
"official" hat), by a pair of ear muffs,
a screw driver (for removing door locks),
and a water pistol, fully loaded! This late
evening attire we soon find out is for the
climax or the grand finale of the even-ing,
the "interrogation."
The Widgit, upon spotting us, fires his
weapon, and by the odor we know we
were just missed by shaving lotion.
But before we are to suffer
too much, the dormitory super-visor
"Wally Pete" (affectionately called
the "good head" by the Widgit) comes
along, breaking up the "interrogation" for
the night.
Although he has such a noted midnight
garb, he is featured by day for his low-slung
levis which have no belt loops and
are therefore never worn with a belt, his
highly polished shoes (with the reflective-ness
of a mirror, characterized by his one
and only Cordovan Stain), and the clicking
heel plates. Yes, Bethel without him would
be "below average," but the whole campus
is a regular "genuine" and thrilled to be
honored with the presence of Mr. Widgit!

In keeping with good "railroad-ers"
' tradition, I'd like to "haul
freight" for a few lines in answer
to your editorial. This is not a
defense, but rather purported to
be a reflection and application. I
shall generalize intentionally.
Early in life I began to learn,
"If you can't live creatively, live
appreciatively." This principle has
never inferred a weak passivity,
but does suggest that I must accept
people and organizations where
they are and for what they are.
Opinions are made from the ob-vious—
but hesitantly!
However, in a situation where
it is quite obvious that a few
individuals live in the "Sweet Bye
and Bye," rather than the "great
here and now," it seems imperative
that one meets the problem within
the client's own frame of refer-ence.
Strange how traditions and "sets"
force us into hyper-categorized
thinking, even in a liberal arts col-lege!
We miss the obvious too
often—the fact that we live in a
challenging, insistent present!
Strange living is only "wish
fulfillment," and if we're stymied
we turn "inward"—victims of our-selves!
You know the adage,
"Can't see the forest for the
trees." Life can be mighty drab
and personality quite paranoidic if
self-examination is unknown.
Remember—honesty was all that
was asked, and if the principle
were carried out, individuals would
speak their mind freely, and not
"scapegoat" only on the echos of
an issue. And if responsibility is
bypassed, one can only let the
chips fall where they may, with
concern for the brethren!
Furthermore, if popular educa-tional
theory is at all a norm for
evaluation, I'm sure that college
life ought to be full of meaningful
experience plus being student-cen-tered.
Ideals are necessary, but ideals
are not enough. Similarly, college
for college sake is not enough, nor
is entertainment for entertainment
sake adequate. When a need is
faced and its criterion met, I think
that then self-realization and ma-turity
find direction and dynamic
in living.
No one would wish to take the
"candy from the child," but if this
is too generalized, may I cordially
extend an invitation to a "bull-session"
at any time. You well
realize that this letter is for a
few, and is written in genuine sin-cerity
(and in love too.) One can-not
live with these issues of cam-pus
life, except that he becomes
deeply appreciative of a progres-sive
group with the highest mo-tives.
This best characterizes our
student body at Bethel. And I am
grateful for a Christian campus
where real progress lives in con-flict—
and conquers! That takes
real Christian gentlemen!
Wes Forsline, President
Student Council
P.S. These reflections might be
relevant far beyond the classic J.S.
issue!
Dr. W. Robert Smith speaks to
an overflowing Founder's Week
crowd at the Thursday morning
chapel service. Dr. Smith spoke on
the powerful "drive" of emotions.
"The Teachings of Jesus" as a
course of instruction will be pre-sented
by Professor Alphin Conrad
of our seminary. This study is con-cerned
with applying the intended
emphasis of Jesus to practicable
Christian living.
Mrs. Harold Paulson, teacher of
Weekday Church School in St. Paul
will instruct a "Vacation Bble
School Workshop." The subjects of
staff training and program mater-ial
will be discussed during the

I'm planning to go to school
full-time under the Korean GI
Bill. If it doesn't interfere
with my studies, I'd like to
get a job a couple of evenings
a week to help meet expenses.
Would my GI allowance be
reduced, if I did so?
There is no ceiling on earn-ings
plus Gov't. allowance
for veterans in school under
the Korean GI Bill, as there
is for those in training under
the World War II GI Bill. The
only ceiling under the new
law applies to those taking on-the-
job training. Therefore,
your GI allowance for educa-tion
would not be reduced, re-gardless
of how much you
earned on the side.
I'm planning to attend college
under the Korean GI Bill.
What happens if my entitle-ment
runs out while I'm just
part way through a school
semester? Would I be allowed
to continue?
If your entitlement expires af-ter
the half-way mark of the
semester, you would be per-mitted
to complete that sem-ester
with Government finan-cial
assistance.
I understand I need my orig-inal
discharge papers in order
to apply for a GI loan. I lost
mine. What can I do?
A. You must apply for a certifi-cate
in lieu of the discharge
papers from the branch of ser-vice
from which you were dis-charged.
Q. I'd like to convert my GI term
insurance policy to permanent
insurance. I have a $10,000
policy. Do I have to convert
all of it at the same time?
A. No. You may convert either
the entire amount, or any part
of it, in multiples of $500 but
not less than $1,000. For ex-ample,
you could convert $5,-
000 and keep the remaining
$5,000 as term insurance.

It is certain there will be no vacuum of enthusiasm tonight when
the Bethel Royals and the Northwestern Eagles get set for the tip-off
at 8:15 p.m. in the latter's gymnasium.
Northwestern players and fans are still sticky from an 83-56 shell-acking
painted on their record last Thursday by the Blue and Gold.
This factor coupled with the
arch-rivalry existing between the
two schools for years insures an
exciting contest despite the out-come
of the tussle this evening.
Before a near capacity Founder's
Week crowd last week Northwest-ern
seemingly "went home" after
the first half of play. Leaving little
opposition other than an overly-aroused
aggregation of fans and
players, the Eagle's defense was
unable to cope with the Royal's
fast break and were figuratively
"run off the floor."
A tight zone defense, effective
in bottling up the Northwestern
attack and an aggressive rebound-ing
unit which swept everything
off the boards left little of the air
inflated oval for the Eagles to play
with.
Bethel's forward line composed
of Unruh, Redin, and Fast compil-ed
a total of 59 points in a well-balanced
scoring attack.
This evening Northwestern's
floor will aid the Eagles in their
quest for revenge as the Royal's
fast break pattern proves less ef-fective
on a diminutive court.
Tonight's scrimmage is the final
away from home game for the
Bethelites and a victory tonight
means a 10 win, 10 loss record.
Paul Nyberg, Bethel center, who
missed the previous contest with
Northwestern, is back in the lineup
and is ready for action this even-ing.

Junior varsity
String Broken
The Junior varsity's four game
win streak was halted last Tues-day
night by a determined River
Falls State Teachers JV, 69-61.
On February 14, the bombers
dumped the Elim Baptist team 60-
44. The JV's trailed at the half
30-27, but took an early lead in
the third period and maintained
their lead the remainder of the
game. Handicapped by the lack of
sufficient reserves, the Elimites
tried vainly to keep up with the
bombers fast - breaking quintet.
Dick Bandy was high for Elim
with 11 points followed by Dean
Olson with 10. MacFayden was
high for the bombers with 12.
During Founders week the Jr.
R oya Is tipped Northwestern
Schools' JV 55-48. All games be-tween
these two schools are fought
hard and previous records don't
necessarily determine the favorite
team. Howard Johnson and John
Chisholm led the victors with 12
points each. Tonight the "rubber
game" will be played on the North-western
court at 6:15.
River Falls, who defeated the
bombers in a game earlier this
season 69-51, came back in the
second half after trailing by 12
points and again defeated the JV
by a narrower margin, 69-61. Clum-sy
ball handling along with poor
defense on a cold night seemed
to be the determining factors of
an unexpected loss for the bomb-ers.
John Chisholm, who had 16
Outscoring the Royals by 14
points in the second quarter, the
Falcons increased their lead to a
18 point spread by half time. Dick
Wells at a forward spot spear-headed
the visitor's rush with 8
baskets (in 12 tries) for 16 points
in this first half. For Bethel, only
veteran Pete Unruh was able to
connect, hitting for 9 points in the
half.
The Royals came back strong in
the second half, but still were out-scored,
though by only one point,
37-36. Rog Kuss, the featured main
attraction of the evening finally
began to hit his stride after bag-ging
only 3 fielders and 4 free
throws tosses for ten points in the
initial half. Kuss, one of the best
centers Bethel has been up against
this year, threw in 24 points in the
final half to finish with 34 points
on 11 field goals and 12 charity
shots.
Pete Unruh, dependable main-stay
of the Royal forces, was high
with 19 for the home team. He was
aided by Paul Redin, with 14.
The Royals recorded their 10th
defeat against 9 victories.
points, again led the way for the
JV in scoring and keen defensive
playing. Also hitting the double
columns were Al Christensen and
Howey Johnson with . 11 and 10
points respectively.
Kuss, River Falls Defeat
Royals In Hardwood Contest
Trying to match a shooting percentage of 25% with an average
of 41% just doesn't work. Bethel found this out last Tuesday in a 83-
64 defeat by River Falls on the home court.
The Royals couldn't have picked a worse night for one of their
coldest shooting performances of the season. The Teachers, with their
height and one-man team, Roger Kuss—high scoring center—had more
than enough advantage over the Bethel five. But to add to what was
already stacked against them, the Blue and Gold could connect for only
20 field goals.
Throughout the first period, the Royals kept on almost even terms
with the high-scoring Peds. The home five jumped into a quick 6-1
lead, then saw the Teachers take over, never to go behind again.
