Committee Schedules Mock Political Rally October 30 A mock political rally will be staged by Bethel students on Thurs-day, October 30, in the college chapel. In a type of meeting that has no parallel in actual political life, "members" of several major politi-cal parties will assemble to hear campaign speeches of the presidential "candidates." Vol. XXX—No. 3 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota Friday, October 10, 1952 Wessman Climaxes Homecoming Activities Thomas A. Flinn, executive sec-retary for the Freeman for Gover-nor, volunteer committee, told the CLARION that "Mr. Freeman will talk about political campaigns and their role in democratic govern ment. He plans to make some sug-gestions for remedying what he feels are serious failures in this important part of the democratic process." Mr. Freeman's program is "Build Minnesota's Future." In the state primary last September 9, the 34 year old candidate received the largest vote ever given to a guber-natorial candidate in the DFL pri-mary column. Of Norwegian and Swedish des-cent, Mr. Freeman won his B.A. degree magna cum laude, and was elected to the Phi Betta Kappa fra-ternal organization. In graduate school he won his L.L.B. degree from the University of Minnesota law school. Sem to Publish First Journal The Bethel Seminary -Quarterly will be published for the first time in November, 1952. This jour-nal is published primarily to serve the pastors of our Baptist General Conference. It will also extend the influence of the seminary and strengthen ties between the pas-tors and the seminary. The editorial staff, led by Dean Edwin Omark, editor-in-chief, in-cludes Dr. Anton T. Pearson, as-sociate editor, and Dr. Virgil A. Olson, managing editor. A fine staff of contributing editors, in-cluding our 'school president, Dr. Wingblade, and all seminary pro-fessors, will furnish material of an informative, practical, and devo-tional nature. The quarterly will not be used for news or promotion-al purposes. It is designed rather to be of non-technical, practical as-sistance to the pastors and leaders in our Conference churches. All seminary students will re-ceive a copy without charge, this being included in the inclusive fee. Each pastor in the Conference will receive the first copy and be given an opportunity to subscribe to this fine periodical. Announce Greene as Deeper Life Speaker The Rev. Edwin R. Greene, wide-ly known and appreciated youth leader, has been obtained as speak-er for- Deeper Life Week, Novem-ber 34. He is now serving the Elim Baptist Church in Seattle, Washington. According to The Rev. Mr. Greene the theme for the week's chapel and vesper services will be selected from the topic, "Light." During the week he will be avail-able for personal student counsel. ling. School Enrolls 515 For First Quarter Clas s es With an increase of 27 students over last year, the enrollment of Bethel College and Seminary now totas 515. Of this 515, 365 are men-, while only 150 women. There are 368 students now attending the college and 158 attending seminary, including 11 duplications. Edna Schultz, secretary to Dean C. Emanuel Carlson, explains that the duplications are those students who are enrolled both in the College and the Seminary. Although the official report won't be made until the end of the quarter the individual class enroll-ments are as follows: The freshman class now claims 158 of the Bethel students, while there were only 140 last year. The sophomores have declined somewhat with only 104 this year compared with 125 last year. The juniors number 47, eight more than last year and the seniors have gained 10 more students this year, placing their enrollment at 44. In addition there are 15 special students. Students from 19 states are now atending Bethel, and nine foreign countries are represented. Minne-sota, of course, heads the list with 242 students, 69 from Minneapolis and 63 from Saint Paul. Next is Iowa claiming 41 Bethelites, and Illinois is right behind with 40 students. There are 32 students from Wis-consin, 28 from Michigan, 20 from California, 18 from Washington, 12 from North Dakota, 11 from Neb-raska, 10 from South Dakota, 7 from Massachusetts, Ohio, and New Jersey, 6 from Connecticut and New York, 3 from Pennsylvania, and 2 from Colorado. Arizona and Utah complete the list in •each sending 1 student to Bethel. Of the foreign students there is one from Alaska, China, Cuba, Hawaii, Sweden, and South Africa. Two come from Germany, and two from the Netherlands, while there are ten whose home is in Canada. Rucinski Heads Freshman Class . Last Monday the Freshman i Class elected Mike Rucinski of Iron River, Michigan as president. Other officers elected were Marvin Chris-tensen of Muskegan, Michigan, vice-president; Bonnie Carlson of Om-aha, Nebraska, secretary; and Jean Seldon of Truman, Michigan, treas-urer. Mr. Roy C. Dalton, Instructor in history was chosen as class ad-viser. Four years ago, a similar rally was conducted on the campus, arousing considerable interest and enthusiasm. There were vociferous demonstrations, rigorous cheering, and some keen debate. The pro-gram was so successful that the Student Council Political Commit-tee is promoting a similar one in this election year. Promotional committees are be-ing set up to secure "party sup-porters," to organize demonstra-tions, and to select students to rep-resent the candidates. The Repub-lican promotional committee is headed by Calvin Edlund, and the Democratic Chairman is Russell Baustian. A committee for the Socialist Party is also being set up. (Activity in this mock rally is no indication of political conviction on the part of the leaders). The program on Thursday will be followed up by a straw vote taken during school hours on Fri-day, October 31. Candidates for major national and state offices will appear on the ballot. Debaters Host Tourney ArgueEmployment Issue The Bethel Debating Society will be host to a city-wide debate tour-nament here November 13. Bethel debating teams, under the direc-tion of Paul E. Grabill, coach, will take an active part in the contest. Mr. Grabill said invitation have been sent to Twin City schools, and to St. Olaf and to Carleton colleges at Northfield. It is expected that each school that accepts will send 12 o 16 speakers. Plans are also being made to send a women's debate team to St. Olaf college November 14 and 15. The question for discussion on both these occasions is the one chosen nationally for debate, which is, Resolved: That the Congress of the United States should insti-ute a compulsory Fair Employment Practice Law. Hoglund Presides AtVesper Service As main speaker for the Home-coming activities the Rev. Maurice A. Wessman, pastor of Central Baptist church, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, speaks on the general sub-ject "Christ Our Life" tomorrow night in the field house. The Rev. Wessman is an alumnus having graduated from Bethel Seminary in 1939 with a Th.B. degree. Tomorrow night's service, start-ing at 8:00 p.m., climaxes home-coming activities. Gunnar -Hoglund, president of the Bethel Alumni as-sociation and member of the sem-inary class of '44, will preside at this closing service. Singing on the program will be , both the Bethel Male chorus and the Chapel choir. Taking general charge of Home-coming activities has been Rodney Erickson, college senior and chair-man of the Social committee of the Student council. Assisting him has been Carol Turnwall, sophomore, Shirley Anderson, sophomore, and Roger Bergeson, senior. Heading up the hard working committee that has provided the lawn decorations has been Johnny Palmquist, seminary middleman. Taking charge of the decorations in the Field house has been Bar-bara Port, college junior. Carolyn Dahlquist, sophomore, has been in charge of the sale of Homecoming pins and Eleanor Schwartz and Lois Johnson, both sophomores, have made the Home-coming pom-poms. Eddie Meyer has arranged for the Homecoming parade. p.,,,adie &diet. According to Rodney Erick-son, general chairman of Home-coming events, all organizations entering floats in tomorrow's Homecoming parade should start assembling a parade line by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. All floats should be parked facing west on the north side of Ar-lington Ave. Judging of floats • by a faculty committee will take place at 12:30 p.m. Under police escort the parade leaves for Highland field promptly at 1:00 p.m. The winning float will be announced at half-time at the game. Bethel Music Depart. Establishes New Major Bethel College will complete the estabishment of a new major study when it graduates it first Music Major—Mrs. Robert Frykenberg (nee Addington). Studies for the degree include the fourth year his-tory of music, the fourth year theory of music, and a senior reci-tal. An expansion of class enrollment is expected in the future according to Prof. Mildred Bisgrove of the Music Department, and she added that the freshman music students this year are very promising, being well grounded in music. Gubernatorial Candidate Speaks Here Monday Noon Orville L. Freeman, Democratic-Farmer Labor candidate for gover-nor, will address the student body and faculty on Monday, October 13, at 12:00 noon in the college chapel. The political actions committee, recently organized by the student council, secured Mr. Freeman as part of their program to stimulate interest in political affairs.

Bethel is the school where we were train-ed to bring the message of Christ to untold multitudes, both home and abroad. To this school we trace many of our major life decisions. That's why we alumni are glad to be back for Homecoming! That's why, in a spirit of sincere gratitude, we pledge to Bethel our continued loyalty." Gunnar Hoglund President, Alumni Association Welcome Alumni by Nancy Schnorr And then a hush will fall, The foot-steps of us all, Will echo clown the hall and disappear— But Hark! I seem to hear these foot-steps. Are they disappearing? No—NO-they seem to be coming nearer. They are coming nearer. But how can it be? These footsteps have disappeared two-three-four-five- ten years ago. And now you say they are coming back—yes, they are. Just where are they coming from? From Universities, from teachers colleges, from hospitals, from business offices, and from churches, from north, south, east, and west. Yes, there are the foot-steps of our alumni. Some of them seem strange and unfamil-iar to us and yet we seem to know them. Why do they seem familiar? Because they have once been a part of the Bethel family which we love so well. To these who have gone before to make Bethel what it is to-day, we give a very hearty welcome. We hope that you will find the same paths, the same halls, the same student-teacher relationship, the same friendliness, the same good times, the same serious times, and most of all, the same love and devotion for God that was here when you were here. Then, too, we hope that you will be able to share with us the progress that Bethel has been making through the years —new buildings, new courses, new profes-sors, new students. Yes, you are not only welcome back to the old familiar things, but to the new things as well' A very hearty welcome to you alumni. May you share with us the joy and excitement of this our Home-coming week. Meet the Council The Bethel Student Council has met every Tuesday evening since the beginning of school doing a very efficient job of planning and co-ordinating school activities. Following is a list of council members and the respective organizations they rep-resent. Wes Forsline—President Rodney Erickson—Vice Pres. DeLores Olson—Secretary Frank Doten—Treasurer Herb Hage—Rep. for Religious Council Shirley Christenson—Rep. for Religious Council Mr. Elving Anderson—Adviser Phil Carlson—Pres. College Senior Class, Gene Messenger—Pres. College Junior Class Elenor Swartz—Rep. College Sophomore Class Mike Rucinski—Pres. College Freshmen Class Rudy Forsman—Pres. Seminary Senior Class Paul Thompson—Pres. Seminary Midleman Class Paul Dubuque—Rep. Seminary Junior Class Joyce Martinson—Rep. for Girls' Dorm Frank Shindo—Rep. for Mens' Dorm Taking part -in St. Cloud Teachers College homecoming activities last week end were former Bethel students Ruth Chisholm, Gloria Berhow, and Carol Cooke. Ruth and Carol, now juniors, are studying for a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. Gloria is taking the Provisional Elementary twoyear course. The girls have set up housekeeping with three other students in a home not far from school, and are now in training for the teaching and home-making professions. During homecoming they witnessed Dwight D. Eisenhower crown the homecoming queen, Joyce Pearson, the colorful home-coming parade, and the heart-breaking game which St. Cloud lost to Moorehead State Teachers College by one point. Asked about the things which impressed them most about St. Cloud, they all re-plied, "The beautiful school library, and the odd house we live in". All agree that there are tremendous op-portunities for Christian witness and are very grateful for their training at Bethel which laid a strong foundation for their Christian lives. There is litle antagonism on campus to-ward "religion". The students are friendly and "are seeking fun, happiness, and secur-ity." The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellow-ship group on campus is trying to reach the students for Christ through dorm prayer meetings, and I. V. parties and meetings. Carol, Gloria, and Ruth enjoy life at T. C. and realize that their experiences in meet-ing such a cross-section of all types of stu-dents will better prepare them for teach-ing. Other former Bethel students that are at-tending St. Cloud Teachers college this year are Audrey Eckdahl, Joyce Houstin, Phoebe Anderson, Helen Hazel, Ruth Quigle, Don Peterson, and Gene Ristow. We extend a cordial welcome to all for-mer students who are back on the campus these days. Some recall old Academy days, others the Junior College, and, of course, many the Seminary days. An old friend in California, who is more than eighty years of age, wrote me that his time was taken up with rich memories of the long past and then with preparation for the "life to come," which he said was the "real life." Students back on the campus will recall many incidents in connection with the class room, athletic field, and social and religious life--some of them surcharged with sweet humor, others more serious. These were all a kind of preparation for the life you are now living in fields of service. Bethel is much different now from what it was ten or twenty years ago as to ex-ternal appearances and also as to progress, but the same spirit remains. We want you to feel that spirit anew as you are on the campus; and as you go back to your field of labor, we know that you will con-tinue to remember the school in prayer that Bethel might continue to be Bethel— and increasingly so. And so we know that you will have a "good time" and that you will raise the thermometer of Christian fellowship still higher because you are here these days. Three Minutes Late To average 70 M.P.H. over a distance of 200 miles probably isn't a world's record but on Minnesota's narrow highways and entering the Twin Cities, one must admit it is good time. What a let down to hurry like that and then be too late. They had the baby without him. Cully arrived just three minutes after the stork brought in David Mark Olson. David was born Oct. 2, at 12:27 A.M. He is seven pounds and four and a half ounces and 21 inches long. The doctors consider the whole family in pretty good shape and the medical authorities in-form us that our conference evangelist will be back on the job shortly. Congratulations Cully and Ruth! My Tongue Stood Still by Stretch Richardson It was one of those situations that just don't happen, but it did. Here I was, sitting in sociology class minding my own business. I forget what it was now, either drawing cartoons or arrested in a state of somnolent ecstasy—when something Dr. Moberg said accilentally caught my attention. He was talking about "attribues" and "variables", and at that particular point in his lecture he was trying to show the dif-ferences. "It's like this . . ." he said—so they told me later, "With attributes things either are or they aren't. There's no part way. For instance a family can have one child, or it can have three or four or five. But a family cannot have one and a half children, nor can it have three and a half or five and a half." That's when I was aroused and without hesitancy rendered my loving, oral correc-tion of which I still consider myself living proof. "My mother did!" That's all I said. Then a couple silly girls start to giggle. Before long everyone in the rear of the room was laughing. Upon this Dr. Moberg requested me to reiterate the timely com-ment. I had just whispered before so as not to disturb the class. Modestly I com-plied with his request. This time the en-tire class reacted with a chuckle—even Dr. Moberg. I took considerable delight in the whole matter since seldom it is that I have oc-casion to joke myself about my shrunken stature. This delight was short lived. When the laughing had subsided the professor leaned across his desk and said, "Mr. Rich-ardson, it was children we were talking about, not wits." ("Boswell The Bookworm," will alternate with Smorgy in the CLARION. Boswell represents the intellectual element of the underworld on campus. He has been challenged to assert himself upon the boast of Smorgy—see CLARION Oct. 3.) My Dear Mr. Editor: The incredulous acute intellect will immediately ascertain the spurious nature of the unfounded and unsubstantiated postulates of this inebriated and uncultured roach whose descriptive applelation is "Smorgie."* The allegations made by this slightly more than non-entity are vigorously denied by the Boistrous But Benevolent Brotherhood of Bookworms.' S. contends that his group is most numerous on campus, but has he considered how our ranks are being swelled daily by the students in the library? (Even the warm blooded ones.) Daily they hover in meditative cogitation over profound treaties hoping to qualify as "Bookworms." Of course, this is induced largely by the excessive assignments of the pro-fessors— but it demonstrates vividly that they too favor our movement. Nor is our organization an outside element. We are insiders! Speedy surveyal of the insides of most of the library books will reveal that (in provincial vernacular) "We're loaded!" The guantlet is thrust down. We will "throw the rascals out." Quick Hedberg, the FLIT! Masticatingly yours, Boswell * Smorgie is probably an irresponsible diminution to the title Smorgasbord, See M. Engstrom's Life of Smorgie, Vol. II, Appendix A, page 4. Foreign Students Enjoy Bethel by Carolyn Clark On Bethel campus this year are six foreign students, four of whom have prev-iously spent some time here. The Seminary claims two of these students. Paul Lilienberg, of Sweden, is spending his second year in the seminary learning how he can "encourage more Bible study and individual devotion" in his native land. After graduation from Bethel Seminary in Stockholm, he was ordained by the Baptist Union of Sweden in 1946. During the school year 1949-50 he was a student on our campus. Since that time, Mr. Lillienberg spent a year as pastor, in addition to spending a year as an evangelist under the Baptist Union of Sweden. His opinion of Bethel can be summed up in a statement made by him recently in chapel: "Traveling 5000 miles to enroll here is a better testimony of what I think of Bethel than anything I can say." Annemarie Oesterle, from Germany, who previously attended Bethel for two years from 1949 to 1951, is now a Junior in the seminary. She has a B.A. degree in, romance languages (Italian and French) from Heidelberg university, Germany, as well as a B.A. in history from Bethel. Last year she worked in Germany with Kenneth Norquist, assisting in Baptist work. After graduation from seminary, she plans to eventually do youth work back in Germany. Again with this year as a senior in the college is Joe Niemeyer of Holland. This is his third year at Bethel, but he attended Central college in Pella, Iowa, last year. Majoring in philosophy, he plans to attend Bethel seminary upon graduation in June. His future plans are not definite as yet. Joe says that he is happy to be "back home." Virginia Lee began her studies at Bethel in March of this year. Born in China and a graduate of Yenching university in Peking, with a major in education, she has taught in Christian high schools as well as in a Bible school, all in China. Virginia has also done evangelistic work. Now a junior in the college, majoring in psychology, she plans to enter a sem-inary in preparation for preaching and teaching again in China. Two of the foreign students are on campus for the first time. Einar Gjestland hails from South Africa where his parents are missionaries under the Evangelical Alliance Mission. He came to the United States a year ago and attended Trinity Seminary for one semester. A freshman, Einar plans to enter full-time Christian service in he field of photography. When asked about his impression of the States, he commented, "I like America, but find it a bit cold." Also new on campus is Joel Bermudez of Cuba. Last year he taught Spanish at a Bible school in Edinburgh, Texas. A special student here at Bethel, he for-merly attended a evangelical seminary in Cuba. Joel plans to continue his education in order that he may later go to Spain as a missionary. Ex-Bethelites Active at St. Cloud The Rev. Lundquist is pastor of the Elim Baptist Church in Chi-cago.

The rumor that the "cracker box" has been the scene of wholesale executions of delin-quent freshmen is entirely false. The terrifying screams issuing from behind the locked doors of the old gym are due wholly to rattling air-hammers, pounding out the footings for our new student union. This reassuring report came from a courageous Bethelite, perched up-on a ladder, and peering through a transom into the mysterious abyss. The same high official also reports that construction thus far has re-sulted in 20 holes, neatly dug and beautifully spaced about the floor that has seen so many epic bucket-ball contests. The holes are 2 feet square and about 1 foot deep. Incidentally, the giant construc-tion worker who has been dwarf-ing students in the halls in none other than Carl Burton, son of Dr- Carl G. Burton, chairman of the school board. For Coach Winter-ble's benefit Carl is 24 years old, weighs 245 pounds, is 6' 5" tall, and performed as a tackle for John-son high school. Lack of steel is still tying up construction, but Foreman Adolph Nelson looks to the near future optimistically. Wally Anderson Named Chapel Choir President Chapel choir members recently elected Wally Anderson, college junior, as president. Milton Paul-son was elected vice-president and Barbara Mullen secretary. Nettie Dvirnak is the new treasurer. Harris Paulson will fill the job of business manager and George Dvirnak is the assistant. On the Robes com-mittee are Rosella Pollman, Ruth Warpula, Cal Peterson and Phil Caldean. Al Richer and Gene Glader are in charge of risers. NICOLLET AVE. at 71 ST Robert Sandin Average Giving To Determine Missionary Goal Bethel students themselves will choose the goal for this year's Missionary giving, in Chapel today. Wally Anderson, vice-president of the Religious council announced this change. The average of what each student will give individually per week will decide the goal. The Religious council will divide the offerings among the fields of Home and Foreign missions. In the succeeding Friday chapel services, the Council will present one aspect of the mission field each week. In this way, the stud-ents will get acquainted with the Missions to which they are giving. Friday, October 10, 1952 THE CLARION Page 3 Former Deeper Life Speaker Gives Three Chapel Talks Next Week Alumni Elects Bob Sandin to Presidency Installation of Officers Set For Meeting Tomorrow Night The Rev. Carl H. Lundquist will be speaking at Bethel's chapel services Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, October 14, 15, and 16. The Rev.

Mr. Sandin is a graduate of Bethel's first senior college graduation in 1949. To quote Mr. Sandin, "The first and the best." Upon graduation from Bethel he continued his course of study at the University of Minnesota, working on his masters degree. At present Mr. Sandin is a senior in our seminary and living on campus. For three years Mr. Sandin has been on the alumni council and served as treasurer.

Bethel Students Said Healthy The Bethel Health Service re-ports that the recent physical ex-aminations found students in gen-erally good physical condition. A staff of three doctors, nine nurses and four student assistants co-operated to examine 228 stud-ents. Those subject to this check-up were the football athletes and first-year students of both college and seminary. This physical examination was given in two stages: the first was a laboratory test and the second a medical examination by physicians. Results of Ramsey County Mobile T.B. examinations given September 9, to 484 students have recently been reported. FALCON HEIGHTS STATE BANK Open a checking account 1544 W.

Lake St. Dr. David Nelson, new assistant professor of chemistry is a native of Canada and comes to Bethel from Iowa State College. He re-ceived his Ph.D. in chemistry there in 1951, having completed his un-dergraduate work at the University of Alberta. Dr. Nelson's work at Iowa State was in synthesizing compounds for possible use in anti-histamine type medicine. Dr. and Mrs. Nelson have a six-week old baby girl. They live at 1679 West Minnehaha Avenue. With the addition of Dr. Nelson . and the completion of the modern well-equipped chemistry labora-tory, Bethel can now offer almost all the courses required for pre-medical or pre-dental students. Or-ganic chemistry and quantative analysis classes are in progress. Bodien Counseling To Aid Frosh In order to help freshman girls adjust themselves with college life, a new counseling system has been established in Bodein residence un-der the advisership of Miss Effie Nelson, Dean of Women. Counselors have been chosen to aid the new students in their spir-itual, scholastic and social problems whenever the need arises. This will not only help the girls individually but it will encourage better rela-tionships between upper classmen and freshman girls. Those who are serving as coun-selors are Patricia Alms, Marilyn Anderson, Shirley Anderson, Mar-ilyn Bittner, Carolyn Clark, Caro-lyn Dahlquist, Darlene Dorow, Ethel Edwards, Florence Jacobson, Virginia Larson, Joyce Marcellis, Joyce Martinson, Barbara Mullin, Annemarie Oesterle, Florence Pruessner, Mary Radunz, Joy Sho-gren, Nancy Swanson and Carol Joy Turnwall. The faculty advisers, seven of whom have been chosen to date, are: Dr. Virginia Grabill, associate professor of Literature; Clifford Larson, assistant professor of re-ligious education; Russell Johnson, assistant professor of biology; David Guston, associate librarian; Swan Engwall, assistant professor of psychology and philosophy; Quentin Bohne, assistant professor of mathematics and physics; and Roy Dalton, instructor in history. These advisers go with the teams whenever possible, each adviser counselling his own team. Mr. Al-phin Conrad, seminary instructor in Biblical Theology and Evangel-ism, is overall coordinator of the teams. Bethel gospel teams go to churches of the Twin Cities and the state. In addition, a gospel team has charge of the chapel ser-vice each week at the Goodwill In-dustries. A gospel team may have charge of the entire service or it may supplement the regular ser-vice of the church with special music and visitation. Majority of Students Have Part-time Jobs Probably over half of Bethel students are earning part of their college expenses, Dean C. E. Carl-son estimates. Most of them work just a. few hours. Nik Dag Opinion Is Pro and Con by Eloise Anderson Nik Dag is only three weeks away, and the big problem of the girls these days is whom to ask and how. For the first time, the girls are only allowed five days to ask the fellows. There are plenty of men to go around, 220 single men compared to 147 single wo-men. There are difference of opinion as to whether the five-day asking time is long enough. Martha With-crow likes the idea because then she has "cold feet" for only a few days. Roy Walters thinks it's fine because then he doesn't have to keep refusing girls for so many weeks. Meme Olander says that she needs more than five days to make a corsage that would, suit the fellow's particular needs. One fellow says it's nice to have to wonder for only five days if he'll be asked, while Jay Fernlund likes to get used to the idea for a few weeks in advance. Some of the fellows don't even have an opinion on the matter. Time does-n't matter to John Swanson, just so he can be on the receiving end for a change. One girl is all for the five-day rule because she can never get up the nerve to ask un-til the last minute anyway. And then there are some lucky girls like Ruth Sheets who don't even have to ask. Nurses Organize NCF Unit Here by Jeanne Swanson Yes, it was a surprise to us too upon our first informal gathering to learn that Bethel has approxi-mately twenty nurses on campus this year. Feeling a need for fellowship with those of like interests, and desiring to be of help to prospec-tive student nurses as well as to those already enrolled in schools affiliated with hospitals of this area, a new chapter of NCF has been born into the Bethel family. The Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF) is an international organiza-tion originating as a branch of the IVCF in 1948. Its purpose is pri-marily to encourage the spiritual lives of Christian nurses, and to establish a positive witness for Christ in every school of nursing. Our meetings are being held on Thursdays, during the lunch hour, in room 224 of the girls' dormitory, for purposes of organization, dis-cussion, and prayer. At our meet-ing of October 2, election of offi-cers was held. Jeanne Swanson was chosen as chairman, and Georgann Mavis as secretary. It is our desire to serve the Lord by means of Gospel teams visiting the various NCF groups and churches in the twin-city area. It is also the purpose of the group to stimulate an interest on campus NCF and the nursing profession. Above all, our objective is "That in all things He might have the pre-eminence." Advisers Set for Gospel Teams Twelve gospel teams this year represent Bethel in Christian service according to Mr. Robert Featherstone, Christian service director. Each gospel team has a student leader and a faculty adviser. The student leaders, who were chosen on the basis of Christian leadership and character, are: Gene Messenger, Ray Brace, Wally Olson, Mike Rucinski, Cal Edlund, Jay Fernlund, Bob Brucato, Bill Swanson, Ed Meyer, Ber-nard DeBar, Don Richardson, and Gesta Lexon. Wanted: Half a dozen tenors of assorted sizes, temperaments, and talents to help fill the back row in the Oratorio choir. Miss Mildred Bisgrove, assisant professor of Music, reports there was a shortage of tenors at the first rehearsal when about 45 persons came out. All parts are still open for additional voices. Work on the "Messiah" has al-ready been started, and the audi-tion for the solo_ parts will be held about November 1 when Miss Bis-grove and Mr. Roger Bailey, teach-er of voice, will select the winners. All students are eligible to try out. The first singing of the "Messiah" supported by assistant professor, C.

There is no question but that the results of the Wisconsin primary, along with other factors, have radically altered the character of the campaign. The show of strength of the McCarthy forces is too striking to be ignored. If McCarthy had been defeated, or if he had won by only a slight margin, the question of Eisen-howers endorsement of him might have been regarded as academic. But the re-sult of the Wisconsin primary has been to make "McCarthyism" a very live issue. From this point of view the Republican strategy appears to have shifted. In the early stages of the campaign it was apparent that the Eisenhower people re-garded the so-called independent note as essential to success. It was evident that Eisenhower's moderation at that time was designed to appeal to this class of voters. But it has become increasingly clear that such an appeal could be made only at the expense of unity in the party; it did not satisfy extremists of the McCarthy- Taft-Jenner variety. Accordigly the effort to attract th eindependents has, to all appearances, been abandoned. Evidently the plan now is to solidify the G.O.P. opposition to the Democratic administration, and to attempt to win on the strenght of the party itself, together with as many malcontents as might be won over over by the stress on "the mess in Washington." There does not seem to be any other explanation of Eisenhower's blanket endorsement of men for whom he certainly can feel no ideological sympathies. Senator Taft's conviction that the way to win an election is to get every last party member out to support the ticket on election day, has apparently displaced the feeling that non-Republican support is essential to success. The Democratic nominee appears, similarly, to be entering upon a second stage in his campaign. It was apparently the Democratic plan for Stevenson to spell out, on a relatively intellectual level, in a reasonably unimpassioned style, and in the candidate's own ineffable manner, the particular program for which he stands. This approach drew the approval of many classe of people, particularly that of organized labor—even the A. F. of L. It probably was attraction to many independents as well. Stevenson apparently feels that this has been done to the satisfaction of all. He will spend the rest of the campaign attempting to cement his gains and to convert them into votes. Apparently this is to be done, according to the Demo-cratic scheme, by allowing the campaign to take on an "up-an'-at-em" aspect. Stev-enson is now beginning to raise his own hand of hoopla. He pokes fun at the Republicans, taunts them for inconsistencies, real or imagined, cracks wise about the "captain candidate" and—though on quite a different lead—is engaging in the kind of political joking 'that Mr Truman has made famous. This stage of the campaign seems to be less reflection of Stevenson's person-ality than the first, but he is equipped with a sense of humor that is very well adapted to this kind of politicking, and there appear to be many hours of rare entertainment for American audiences during the next month. And the turn of the Republican campaign, which has led to at least an "antagonistic coopera-tion" between Eisenhower and the Old guard, is certainly providing him with ample ammunition.

Dear Editor: Thursday evening, Sept. 25, our dining hall resembled a Greyhound bus—In soma ways, that is. Last year's Chapel Choir had a reunion. Since a Greyhound bus was what they called "home" for the three weeks they were on tour, they found it al-together fitting and proper to change the conventional dignity of our dining hall into a more reminiscent atmosphere. The chairs were arranged in order of the seats on the bus. All that was necessary was a little imaginaion, a few worn-out "cracks" fired back and forth, and back they were speed-ing along the highway. Movies and slides of the trip were shown, after which came cheeseburgers and hot chocolate. The com-mittee responsible were Harris Paulson, Barbara Mullin, Lois Mitchell and Rodney Erickson. A Reader As of late our President has been very busy traveling throughout the Middle West. Several weeks ago he was in Chicago and was the main speaker at the 50th Anni-versary of Fridhem (Home of Rest). Fridhem was founded by Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom in 1902, and Dr. Wingblade took greetings from the founder. On Sunday morning President Wingblade spoke at Grace Bap-tist Church, and in the evening he spoke at the Addison Street Church where he was once pastor. Last Monday Dr. Wingblade returned from a great Missionary Convention of eight days up in the Red River Valley. Dr. Wingblade represented Bethel along with a team consisting of the leaders of the Gen-eral Conference. Soon he will leave us again to make an extended trip of the West Coast. Bethel students who live on the campus, and who are registered for voting may do so November 4 at the field house. to ale edit04 Dear Editor: This is the first appearance of "Letters to the Editor" this year. All campus per-sonnel are invited to write us letters. Letters should be brief and clear-cut and well sub-stantiated. Share with us and your fellow students your opinions through this column. All letters must bear signatures but the names of writers will not be printed neces-sarily. All letters are subject to editorial policies. Place letters in PO Box F 10. Soft music, mellow candle-light, loud-plaid shirts, Sunday-best suits, Ma Olson's bread —all these create a pleasant atmosphere on Wednesday night in the Bethel dining hall. Dress-up night is traditional at Bethel and Bethelites look forward to this formal-ity. But there seems to be one element out of place. Like a cow-boy ballad among classical music, like a crash of thunder on a peace-ful star-lit evening, like a rainstorm during a picnic, so loud-plaid shirts intrude upon the atmosphere of Wednesday night dress-up. Every vivid blotch of color should be plucked out and replaced by a white shirt, a necktie and a suit jacket. Then all the elements of Wednesday night would be in harmony with one another. A Reader Dear Reader: We feel that your observation is vali-dated by a number on the campus who are of the same opinion. We invite comment by other students. Ed Dear Editor: I'm mad, raving mad. Normally I ain't one to gripe, but now I got something to really kick up a stink over. It's this fourday check business on Nik Dag Dates. Who are they to be telling us when we can and when we can't ask our flames for a date? This is the only time in the entire year we girls can snag the man we want. When the fellows do the asking they can ask any old time they're a mind to. So the one with the most gumption gets the girl he want mainly because he beat the other guys to it. Now here's the way it is with me. I want to ask Stretch out for the night, but so do seventeen other girls. Well, the rules R..say I can't ask until October 27, 12:15 p.m. which means the earliest chance will be sometime that next morning. That's where it rubs. I have to go to work at the cleaners at 11:00 that morning and Stretch never gets up till after that. So one of the other girls is bound to beat me to it, and it's all because of that silly rule. Frantically yours, A Concerned Young Lady Our Dear Young Lady: We only hope that this year's Nik Dag will be the best ever and we wish the planning committee much success. Ed Keep this Clarion as a Souvenier for Homecoming See you at the game tomorrow An accredited school of NURSING With college affiliation if desired The Mounds-Midway School of Nursing operated in con-nection with Midway Hospital and Mounds Park Hospital, offers the unusual opportunity of studying nursing in hos-pitals of high standard in an atmosphere of Christian fellow-ship and missionary interest. Minimum prerequisites for entrance: high school diploma, sound health, good character, and church affiliation. • Application should be made to: MISS MARY DANIELSON, Director Mounds-Midway School of Nursing 200 EARL STREET ST. PAUL 6, MINN. Along with the expanding inter-collegiate athletic program at Bethel has come a noticeable drop of interest in intramural athletics. Finding a time when teams can field enough players for a game and a seemingly decline in enthusiasm has put a near halt to the pro-gram. The well known, highly fanned flame of previous years has dwindled to a mere spark and forfeits are not at all uncommon when game time arrives. Thus far in the schedule half of the games have had to be forfeited because of lack of players. Possibly an entire revamping of the program is necessary to solve the ever increasing problem. Maybe other sports should be substituted for football. Ping Pong and volleyball might draw more interest. Two rounds of play have been completed in the intramural sched-ule thus far. Minnesota and Iowa are currently riding the top with two victories and no losses. Three games have been forfeited because of lack of players and Norris Magnuson, commissioner, is issuing a call for more fellows to take an interest and is open for suggestions on how the program can better accomplish its purposes. Here are the results of the first two pairings: West-14 Michigan Wisconsin-13 Iowa-2 East-0 Minnesota-2 Illinois-0 Minnesota-19 West-18 Michigan-Wisconsin----2 East-0 Iowa-18 Illinois-12 Bethel Intramural Athletic Program Shows Noticeable Drop In Interest Royals Vie With Lumberjacks In Homecoming Football Tilt While the men's intramural pro-gram is on a seemingly down-hill grade the girls on campus have suddenly appeared on the scene and are interested in starting an intramural sports program. Volleyball and basketball are two of the sports mentioned by the girls where there is interest enough to establish an intra-cam-pus contest. Girls who are desirous to partici-pate in such a league are asked to contact Lois Johnson or Carolyn Dahlquist. Baxter, Carlson Pilot Gridders Jim Baxter and Bob Carlson were selected by their teammates to pilot the 1952 Bethel football team at a meeting held just before the Roch-ester game. Each of the captains are 60- min-ute men playing on the offensive and defensive platoons. Jim plays fullback on offensive and is an outstanding line-backer on the defensive team. Jim is play-ing his second year on the Royal's squad. He made the varsity as a freshman just out of high school from Minnehaha Acadamey in Min-neapolis. Jim Baxter Bob Carlson Bob, whose home town is Manis-tique, Michigan, was an outstand-ing high school athlete in that area. Bob is playing his third year of football at Bethel. As a freshman, he played on Coach Lynn Lun-deen's outstanding gridiron unit as a tackle. Last year Bob was switched to a fullback position, but Coach Win-terbie has put him back in the line this year. He also received the outstanding player award last sea-son and has won two letters on the varsity basketball squad. Both Jim and Bob were unani-mous choices and are capable of leading the team because of their experience and knowledge of the game. Pictured above is one of land Lumberjacks tomorrow ium. Game time is 2 p.m. Bethel DropsWorthington For Second Grid Victory by Cliff Smith Bethel outlasted Worthington J. C. 27-20 to notch their second win of the season last Saturday. A large partisan Worthington crowd watched their favorites bow for the first time in two years to a brilliant Bethel eleven in a spec-tacular contest. Two identical pass plays, Red Kendall to Chuck Smith, gave Bethel a 14-0 first half lead. But Worthington, led by fullback Dick Erickson, fought back in a thrilling second half to go in front 20-14, only then to see Bethel's Jay Williamson race to two touchdowns to pace Bethel to the final seven point margin. Following the scoreless first quar-ter, Bethel opened the second per-iod with a touchdown march from their own 41. Kendall fired a quick pass to speedster Chuck Smith who galloped 30 yards to complete the 45 yard pass play for the first score. Don Stipe successfully tried the extra point. Before the half ended, a second Kendall pass had found the mark to Smith who this time dashed 25 yards. Stipe added the point again to make the half score 14-0. A fired-up Worhington team charged back in the third quarter to marci • 52 yards for a quick touchdown thrust, scoring on full-back Dick Erickson's smash. Erick-son also added the extra point. Just several plays later, the Blue Jays scored again on a short pass, Koepsall to Basche, but failed on the extra point try much to the relief of the stunned St. Paul team. The Blue Jay assault continued right on into the final period. After recovering a Bethel fumble on the Bethel 34, the Jays quickly scored again on Erickson's short plunge. Erickson completed the point after to move his team in front for the first time 20-14. However, Bethel bounced back to score twice in the final five min-utes to ice the contest. Jay William, son crossed the goal line on short dashes for both scores. It was a meaningful victory for Bethel who had been shut out by the Worthington eleven for the past three years. The Bethel grid-ders, accomplished a feat no other team had achieved for the past two years in defeating the Blue Jays. The outstanding tilt was waged in freezing weather on the Worth-ington High School field under the lights. by Gene Messenger Boasting one of the fastest backfields in Northland college history and a well fortified line the lumberjacks from Ashland, Wisconsin, move onto Highland Stadium tomorrow afternoon in an attempt to dampen Bethel's Homecoming spirit. Poised and confident with last weekend's 27-20 victory over highly-rated Worthington the Blue and Gold from Bethel are carrying a spirit of victory and thunder which will be tough to put the damper on. Thus it appears Northland will find it can't win without expecting a little rain to fall on their side of the line. With a great deal of depth in re-serves to bolster their line and a slight weight advantage over the Royals, the Woodsmen are sure to give Bethel's well rounded back-field a good workout. Coach Ross Anderson's squad, es-pecially strong at the tackle posi-tions, may turn the tables on the well known strategy, "If you can gain off tackle you are bound to vvin." A small, but fast and rugged backfield with several veterans and some promising freshman talent provide the Northmen with a well-balanced ground unit. However, with the improvement that has accompanied the Bethel squadron from week to week, coup-led with the traditional homecom-ing spirit, the local eleven will be tough to seat. A noticeable improvement in Bethel's passing attack may mean Basketball Practice the difference when the final gun goes off.

What Will It Be? Royal Riteup Royals? Falcons? Beavers? What will it be? This was the lead in one of our last week's articles. On that same page was a headline which read: "Royals Meet Unbeaten Foe." Why the contradiction? Although it is not the official name the sports department of the Clarion has decided to use the name, Royals, until a definite selection has been made. Because Royal is the choice of the staff and it also has the en-dorsement of the athletic director and the B Club, the sports writers are hoping that the name will be chosen. There seems to be unanimous consensus of opinion regarding its adapability to our colors and our school name. Also, it is not an overly used name. Very few schools in this area are carrying the title and it should be a name that can be kept if a conference berth is gained. A definite decision should be reached as soon as possible so the athletic equipment for basketball can be ordered, cheers can be selected and so we have an authorized title with which to build our news and feature articles around.

Jackets selected were navy blue in color with natural colored leather sleeves. All fellows in the college and seminary who have earned a major letter in any of the sports are permitted to purchase a jacket which will be the official athletic garment. Contrary to an erroneous opin-ion that the garb is an award, Ath-letic Director Del Ray Peterson emphasises the fact that it is not an award but is to be purchased by the letter winners. An emblem to be placed on the attire was also discussed and tenta-tive plans for a crown with the school nickname, Royals, inscribed across it were drawn up. Alumni Versus Varsity In Homecoming Classic Pending on the erecting of the basketball backboards the alumni of Bethel college and seminary will play the varsity basketball squad tonight at 9 p.m. in the new gym-nasium. The traditional classic proves to be interesting and thrilling as pre-vious contests have always been an outstanding Homecoming feature. Rarely in the past has an alumni team been able to defeat the young-er and trimmer varsity athlets, but it is hoped that they put up a good fight.

Committee Schedules Mock Political Rally October 30 A mock political rally will be staged by Bethel students on Thurs-day, October 30, in the college chapel. In a type of meeting that has no parallel in actual political life, "members" of several major politi-cal parties will assemble to hear campaign speeches of the presidential "candidates." Vol. XXX—No. 3 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota Friday, October 10, 1952 Wessman Climaxes Homecoming Activities Thomas A. Flinn, executive sec-retary for the Freeman for Gover-nor, volunteer committee, told the CLARION that "Mr. Freeman will talk about political campaigns and their role in democratic govern ment. He plans to make some sug-gestions for remedying what he feels are serious failures in this important part of the democratic process." Mr. Freeman's program is "Build Minnesota's Future." In the state primary last September 9, the 34 year old candidate received the largest vote ever given to a guber-natorial candidate in the DFL pri-mary column. Of Norwegian and Swedish des-cent, Mr. Freeman won his B.A. degree magna cum laude, and was elected to the Phi Betta Kappa fra-ternal organization. In graduate school he won his L.L.B. degree from the University of Minnesota law school. Sem to Publish First Journal The Bethel Seminary -Quarterly will be published for the first time in November, 1952. This jour-nal is published primarily to serve the pastors of our Baptist General Conference. It will also extend the influence of the seminary and strengthen ties between the pas-tors and the seminary. The editorial staff, led by Dean Edwin Omark, editor-in-chief, in-cludes Dr. Anton T. Pearson, as-sociate editor, and Dr. Virgil A. Olson, managing editor. A fine staff of contributing editors, in-cluding our 'school president, Dr. Wingblade, and all seminary pro-fessors, will furnish material of an informative, practical, and devo-tional nature. The quarterly will not be used for news or promotion-al purposes. It is designed rather to be of non-technical, practical as-sistance to the pastors and leaders in our Conference churches. All seminary students will re-ceive a copy without charge, this being included in the inclusive fee. Each pastor in the Conference will receive the first copy and be given an opportunity to subscribe to this fine periodical. Announce Greene as Deeper Life Speaker The Rev. Edwin R. Greene, wide-ly known and appreciated youth leader, has been obtained as speak-er for- Deeper Life Week, Novem-ber 34. He is now serving the Elim Baptist Church in Seattle, Washington. According to The Rev. Mr. Greene the theme for the week's chapel and vesper services will be selected from the topic, "Light." During the week he will be avail-able for personal student counsel. ling. School Enrolls 515 For First Quarter Clas s es With an increase of 27 students over last year, the enrollment of Bethel College and Seminary now totas 515. Of this 515, 365 are men-, while only 150 women. There are 368 students now attending the college and 158 attending seminary, including 11 duplications. Edna Schultz, secretary to Dean C. Emanuel Carlson, explains that the duplications are those students who are enrolled both in the College and the Seminary. Although the official report won't be made until the end of the quarter the individual class enroll-ments are as follows: The freshman class now claims 158 of the Bethel students, while there were only 140 last year. The sophomores have declined somewhat with only 104 this year compared with 125 last year. The juniors number 47, eight more than last year and the seniors have gained 10 more students this year, placing their enrollment at 44. In addition there are 15 special students. Students from 19 states are now atending Bethel, and nine foreign countries are represented. Minne-sota, of course, heads the list with 242 students, 69 from Minneapolis and 63 from Saint Paul. Next is Iowa claiming 41 Bethelites, and Illinois is right behind with 40 students. There are 32 students from Wis-consin, 28 from Michigan, 20 from California, 18 from Washington, 12 from North Dakota, 11 from Neb-raska, 10 from South Dakota, 7 from Massachusetts, Ohio, and New Jersey, 6 from Connecticut and New York, 3 from Pennsylvania, and 2 from Colorado. Arizona and Utah complete the list in •each sending 1 student to Bethel. Of the foreign students there is one from Alaska, China, Cuba, Hawaii, Sweden, and South Africa. Two come from Germany, and two from the Netherlands, while there are ten whose home is in Canada. Rucinski Heads Freshman Class . Last Monday the Freshman i Class elected Mike Rucinski of Iron River, Michigan as president. Other officers elected were Marvin Chris-tensen of Muskegan, Michigan, vice-president; Bonnie Carlson of Om-aha, Nebraska, secretary; and Jean Seldon of Truman, Michigan, treas-urer. Mr. Roy C. Dalton, Instructor in history was chosen as class ad-viser. Four years ago, a similar rally was conducted on the campus, arousing considerable interest and enthusiasm. There were vociferous demonstrations, rigorous cheering, and some keen debate. The pro-gram was so successful that the Student Council Political Commit-tee is promoting a similar one in this election year. Promotional committees are be-ing set up to secure "party sup-porters," to organize demonstra-tions, and to select students to rep-resent the candidates. The Repub-lican promotional committee is headed by Calvin Edlund, and the Democratic Chairman is Russell Baustian. A committee for the Socialist Party is also being set up. (Activity in this mock rally is no indication of political conviction on the part of the leaders). The program on Thursday will be followed up by a straw vote taken during school hours on Fri-day, October 31. Candidates for major national and state offices will appear on the ballot. Debaters Host Tourney ArgueEmployment Issue The Bethel Debating Society will be host to a city-wide debate tour-nament here November 13. Bethel debating teams, under the direc-tion of Paul E. Grabill, coach, will take an active part in the contest. Mr. Grabill said invitation have been sent to Twin City schools, and to St. Olaf and to Carleton colleges at Northfield. It is expected that each school that accepts will send 12 o 16 speakers. Plans are also being made to send a women's debate team to St. Olaf college November 14 and 15. The question for discussion on both these occasions is the one chosen nationally for debate, which is, Resolved: That the Congress of the United States should insti-ute a compulsory Fair Employment Practice Law. Hoglund Presides AtVesper Service As main speaker for the Home-coming activities the Rev. Maurice A. Wessman, pastor of Central Baptist church, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, speaks on the general sub-ject "Christ Our Life" tomorrow night in the field house. The Rev. Wessman is an alumnus having graduated from Bethel Seminary in 1939 with a Th.B. degree. Tomorrow night's service, start-ing at 8:00 p.m., climaxes home-coming activities. Gunnar -Hoglund, president of the Bethel Alumni as-sociation and member of the sem-inary class of '44, will preside at this closing service. Singing on the program will be , both the Bethel Male chorus and the Chapel choir. Taking general charge of Home-coming activities has been Rodney Erickson, college senior and chair-man of the Social committee of the Student council. Assisting him has been Carol Turnwall, sophomore, Shirley Anderson, sophomore, and Roger Bergeson, senior. Heading up the hard working committee that has provided the lawn decorations has been Johnny Palmquist, seminary middleman. Taking charge of the decorations in the Field house has been Bar-bara Port, college junior. Carolyn Dahlquist, sophomore, has been in charge of the sale of Homecoming pins and Eleanor Schwartz and Lois Johnson, both sophomores, have made the Home-coming pom-poms. Eddie Meyer has arranged for the Homecoming parade. p.,,,adie &diet. According to Rodney Erick-son, general chairman of Home-coming events, all organizations entering floats in tomorrow's Homecoming parade should start assembling a parade line by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. All floats should be parked facing west on the north side of Ar-lington Ave. Judging of floats • by a faculty committee will take place at 12:30 p.m. Under police escort the parade leaves for Highland field promptly at 1:00 p.m. The winning float will be announced at half-time at the game. Bethel Music Depart. Establishes New Major Bethel College will complete the estabishment of a new major study when it graduates it first Music Major—Mrs. Robert Frykenberg (nee Addington). Studies for the degree include the fourth year his-tory of music, the fourth year theory of music, and a senior reci-tal. An expansion of class enrollment is expected in the future according to Prof. Mildred Bisgrove of the Music Department, and she added that the freshman music students this year are very promising, being well grounded in music. Gubernatorial Candidate Speaks Here Monday Noon Orville L. Freeman, Democratic-Farmer Labor candidate for gover-nor, will address the student body and faculty on Monday, October 13, at 12:00 noon in the college chapel. The political actions committee, recently organized by the student council, secured Mr. Freeman as part of their program to stimulate interest in political affairs.

Bethel is the school where we were train-ed to bring the message of Christ to untold multitudes, both home and abroad. To this school we trace many of our major life decisions. That's why we alumni are glad to be back for Homecoming! That's why, in a spirit of sincere gratitude, we pledge to Bethel our continued loyalty." Gunnar Hoglund President, Alumni Association Welcome Alumni by Nancy Schnorr And then a hush will fall, The foot-steps of us all, Will echo clown the hall and disappear— But Hark! I seem to hear these foot-steps. Are they disappearing? No—NO-they seem to be coming nearer. They are coming nearer. But how can it be? These footsteps have disappeared two-three-four-five- ten years ago. And now you say they are coming back—yes, they are. Just where are they coming from? From Universities, from teachers colleges, from hospitals, from business offices, and from churches, from north, south, east, and west. Yes, there are the foot-steps of our alumni. Some of them seem strange and unfamil-iar to us and yet we seem to know them. Why do they seem familiar? Because they have once been a part of the Bethel family which we love so well. To these who have gone before to make Bethel what it is to-day, we give a very hearty welcome. We hope that you will find the same paths, the same halls, the same student-teacher relationship, the same friendliness, the same good times, the same serious times, and most of all, the same love and devotion for God that was here when you were here. Then, too, we hope that you will be able to share with us the progress that Bethel has been making through the years —new buildings, new courses, new profes-sors, new students. Yes, you are not only welcome back to the old familiar things, but to the new things as well' A very hearty welcome to you alumni. May you share with us the joy and excitement of this our Home-coming week. Meet the Council The Bethel Student Council has met every Tuesday evening since the beginning of school doing a very efficient job of planning and co-ordinating school activities. Following is a list of council members and the respective organizations they rep-resent. Wes Forsline—President Rodney Erickson—Vice Pres. DeLores Olson—Secretary Frank Doten—Treasurer Herb Hage—Rep. for Religious Council Shirley Christenson—Rep. for Religious Council Mr. Elving Anderson—Adviser Phil Carlson—Pres. College Senior Class, Gene Messenger—Pres. College Junior Class Elenor Swartz—Rep. College Sophomore Class Mike Rucinski—Pres. College Freshmen Class Rudy Forsman—Pres. Seminary Senior Class Paul Thompson—Pres. Seminary Midleman Class Paul Dubuque—Rep. Seminary Junior Class Joyce Martinson—Rep. for Girls' Dorm Frank Shindo—Rep. for Mens' Dorm Taking part -in St. Cloud Teachers College homecoming activities last week end were former Bethel students Ruth Chisholm, Gloria Berhow, and Carol Cooke. Ruth and Carol, now juniors, are studying for a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. Gloria is taking the Provisional Elementary twoyear course. The girls have set up housekeeping with three other students in a home not far from school, and are now in training for the teaching and home-making professions. During homecoming they witnessed Dwight D. Eisenhower crown the homecoming queen, Joyce Pearson, the colorful home-coming parade, and the heart-breaking game which St. Cloud lost to Moorehead State Teachers College by one point. Asked about the things which impressed them most about St. Cloud, they all re-plied, "The beautiful school library, and the odd house we live in". All agree that there are tremendous op-portunities for Christian witness and are very grateful for their training at Bethel which laid a strong foundation for their Christian lives. There is litle antagonism on campus to-ward "religion". The students are friendly and "are seeking fun, happiness, and secur-ity." The Inter-Varsity Christian Fellow-ship group on campus is trying to reach the students for Christ through dorm prayer meetings, and I. V. parties and meetings. Carol, Gloria, and Ruth enjoy life at T. C. and realize that their experiences in meet-ing such a cross-section of all types of stu-dents will better prepare them for teach-ing. Other former Bethel students that are at-tending St. Cloud Teachers college this year are Audrey Eckdahl, Joyce Houstin, Phoebe Anderson, Helen Hazel, Ruth Quigle, Don Peterson, and Gene Ristow. We extend a cordial welcome to all for-mer students who are back on the campus these days. Some recall old Academy days, others the Junior College, and, of course, many the Seminary days. An old friend in California, who is more than eighty years of age, wrote me that his time was taken up with rich memories of the long past and then with preparation for the "life to come," which he said was the "real life." Students back on the campus will recall many incidents in connection with the class room, athletic field, and social and religious life--some of them surcharged with sweet humor, others more serious. These were all a kind of preparation for the life you are now living in fields of service. Bethel is much different now from what it was ten or twenty years ago as to ex-ternal appearances and also as to progress, but the same spirit remains. We want you to feel that spirit anew as you are on the campus; and as you go back to your field of labor, we know that you will con-tinue to remember the school in prayer that Bethel might continue to be Bethel— and increasingly so. And so we know that you will have a "good time" and that you will raise the thermometer of Christian fellowship still higher because you are here these days. Three Minutes Late To average 70 M.P.H. over a distance of 200 miles probably isn't a world's record but on Minnesota's narrow highways and entering the Twin Cities, one must admit it is good time. What a let down to hurry like that and then be too late. They had the baby without him. Cully arrived just three minutes after the stork brought in David Mark Olson. David was born Oct. 2, at 12:27 A.M. He is seven pounds and four and a half ounces and 21 inches long. The doctors consider the whole family in pretty good shape and the medical authorities in-form us that our conference evangelist will be back on the job shortly. Congratulations Cully and Ruth! My Tongue Stood Still by Stretch Richardson It was one of those situations that just don't happen, but it did. Here I was, sitting in sociology class minding my own business. I forget what it was now, either drawing cartoons or arrested in a state of somnolent ecstasy—when something Dr. Moberg said accilentally caught my attention. He was talking about "attribues" and "variables", and at that particular point in his lecture he was trying to show the dif-ferences. "It's like this . . ." he said—so they told me later, "With attributes things either are or they aren't. There's no part way. For instance a family can have one child, or it can have three or four or five. But a family cannot have one and a half children, nor can it have three and a half or five and a half." That's when I was aroused and without hesitancy rendered my loving, oral correc-tion of which I still consider myself living proof. "My mother did!" That's all I said. Then a couple silly girls start to giggle. Before long everyone in the rear of the room was laughing. Upon this Dr. Moberg requested me to reiterate the timely com-ment. I had just whispered before so as not to disturb the class. Modestly I com-plied with his request. This time the en-tire class reacted with a chuckle—even Dr. Moberg. I took considerable delight in the whole matter since seldom it is that I have oc-casion to joke myself about my shrunken stature. This delight was short lived. When the laughing had subsided the professor leaned across his desk and said, "Mr. Rich-ardson, it was children we were talking about, not wits." ("Boswell The Bookworm," will alternate with Smorgy in the CLARION. Boswell represents the intellectual element of the underworld on campus. He has been challenged to assert himself upon the boast of Smorgy—see CLARION Oct. 3.) My Dear Mr. Editor: The incredulous acute intellect will immediately ascertain the spurious nature of the unfounded and unsubstantiated postulates of this inebriated and uncultured roach whose descriptive applelation is "Smorgie."* The allegations made by this slightly more than non-entity are vigorously denied by the Boistrous But Benevolent Brotherhood of Bookworms.' S. contends that his group is most numerous on campus, but has he considered how our ranks are being swelled daily by the students in the library? (Even the warm blooded ones.) Daily they hover in meditative cogitation over profound treaties hoping to qualify as "Bookworms." Of course, this is induced largely by the excessive assignments of the pro-fessors— but it demonstrates vividly that they too favor our movement. Nor is our organization an outside element. We are insiders! Speedy surveyal of the insides of most of the library books will reveal that (in provincial vernacular) "We're loaded!" The guantlet is thrust down. We will "throw the rascals out." Quick Hedberg, the FLIT! Masticatingly yours, Boswell * Smorgie is probably an irresponsible diminution to the title Smorgasbord, See M. Engstrom's Life of Smorgie, Vol. II, Appendix A, page 4. Foreign Students Enjoy Bethel by Carolyn Clark On Bethel campus this year are six foreign students, four of whom have prev-iously spent some time here. The Seminary claims two of these students. Paul Lilienberg, of Sweden, is spending his second year in the seminary learning how he can "encourage more Bible study and individual devotion" in his native land. After graduation from Bethel Seminary in Stockholm, he was ordained by the Baptist Union of Sweden in 1946. During the school year 1949-50 he was a student on our campus. Since that time, Mr. Lillienberg spent a year as pastor, in addition to spending a year as an evangelist under the Baptist Union of Sweden. His opinion of Bethel can be summed up in a statement made by him recently in chapel: "Traveling 5000 miles to enroll here is a better testimony of what I think of Bethel than anything I can say." Annemarie Oesterle, from Germany, who previously attended Bethel for two years from 1949 to 1951, is now a Junior in the seminary. She has a B.A. degree in, romance languages (Italian and French) from Heidelberg university, Germany, as well as a B.A. in history from Bethel. Last year she worked in Germany with Kenneth Norquist, assisting in Baptist work. After graduation from seminary, she plans to eventually do youth work back in Germany. Again with this year as a senior in the college is Joe Niemeyer of Holland. This is his third year at Bethel, but he attended Central college in Pella, Iowa, last year. Majoring in philosophy, he plans to attend Bethel seminary upon graduation in June. His future plans are not definite as yet. Joe says that he is happy to be "back home." Virginia Lee began her studies at Bethel in March of this year. Born in China and a graduate of Yenching university in Peking, with a major in education, she has taught in Christian high schools as well as in a Bible school, all in China. Virginia has also done evangelistic work. Now a junior in the college, majoring in psychology, she plans to enter a sem-inary in preparation for preaching and teaching again in China. Two of the foreign students are on campus for the first time. Einar Gjestland hails from South Africa where his parents are missionaries under the Evangelical Alliance Mission. He came to the United States a year ago and attended Trinity Seminary for one semester. A freshman, Einar plans to enter full-time Christian service in he field of photography. When asked about his impression of the States, he commented, "I like America, but find it a bit cold." Also new on campus is Joel Bermudez of Cuba. Last year he taught Spanish at a Bible school in Edinburgh, Texas. A special student here at Bethel, he for-merly attended a evangelical seminary in Cuba. Joel plans to continue his education in order that he may later go to Spain as a missionary. Ex-Bethelites Active at St. Cloud The Rev. Lundquist is pastor of the Elim Baptist Church in Chi-cago.

The rumor that the "cracker box" has been the scene of wholesale executions of delin-quent freshmen is entirely false. The terrifying screams issuing from behind the locked doors of the old gym are due wholly to rattling air-hammers, pounding out the footings for our new student union. This reassuring report came from a courageous Bethelite, perched up-on a ladder, and peering through a transom into the mysterious abyss. The same high official also reports that construction thus far has re-sulted in 20 holes, neatly dug and beautifully spaced about the floor that has seen so many epic bucket-ball contests. The holes are 2 feet square and about 1 foot deep. Incidentally, the giant construc-tion worker who has been dwarf-ing students in the halls in none other than Carl Burton, son of Dr- Carl G. Burton, chairman of the school board. For Coach Winter-ble's benefit Carl is 24 years old, weighs 245 pounds, is 6' 5" tall, and performed as a tackle for John-son high school. Lack of steel is still tying up construction, but Foreman Adolph Nelson looks to the near future optimistically. Wally Anderson Named Chapel Choir President Chapel choir members recently elected Wally Anderson, college junior, as president. Milton Paul-son was elected vice-president and Barbara Mullen secretary. Nettie Dvirnak is the new treasurer. Harris Paulson will fill the job of business manager and George Dvirnak is the assistant. On the Robes com-mittee are Rosella Pollman, Ruth Warpula, Cal Peterson and Phil Caldean. Al Richer and Gene Glader are in charge of risers. NICOLLET AVE. at 71 ST Robert Sandin Average Giving To Determine Missionary Goal Bethel students themselves will choose the goal for this year's Missionary giving, in Chapel today. Wally Anderson, vice-president of the Religious council announced this change. The average of what each student will give individually per week will decide the goal. The Religious council will divide the offerings among the fields of Home and Foreign missions. In the succeeding Friday chapel services, the Council will present one aspect of the mission field each week. In this way, the stud-ents will get acquainted with the Missions to which they are giving. Friday, October 10, 1952 THE CLARION Page 3 Former Deeper Life Speaker Gives Three Chapel Talks Next Week Alumni Elects Bob Sandin to Presidency Installation of Officers Set For Meeting Tomorrow Night The Rev. Carl H. Lundquist will be speaking at Bethel's chapel services Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, October 14, 15, and 16. The Rev. Lundquist will hold "Deeper Life" meetings at Bethany Bap-tist Church in St. Paul starting Tuesday October 14 and concluding the following Sunday, October 19. five years. One of the outstanding leaders in our Conference history, The Rev. • Lundquist is known across the country as a man who is vitally interested in young people. Dr. Wingblade secured The Rev. Lundquist for these three days sev-eral weeks ago when the Rev. Walfred Johnson, pastor of Beth-any Baptist Church, announced the meetings.

Mr. V. Elving Anderson, faculty adviser for Bethel's Alumni association, announced that Mr. Robert Sandin is the Alumni's new president. Ballots were sent out to Alumni members three weeks ago. Mr. Sandin is a graduate of Bethel's first senior college graduation in 1949. To quote Mr. Sandin, "The first and the best." Upon graduation from Bethel he continued his course of study at the University of Minnesota, working on his masters degree. At present Mr. Sandin is a senior in our seminary and living on campus. For three years Mr. Sandin has been on the alumni council and served as treasurer. He is a mem-ber of the Bethel Baptist Church in Minneapolis and is one of the four distinguished members of the renowned Bethel Male Quartet of 1947, '48, and '49.

Christianty and Modern Science an-swers such questions as: "How do we account for all the errors found in the Bible in view of the find-ings of modern science?" "How accurately does the Bible corres-pond with science?" Dr. Bernard Ramm, professor of philosophy, is answering these and similar ques-tions. The responsibility each Christian has in the life of his community is being discussed in the course on The Christian and Community Problems, instructed by Dr. David Moberg, professor of sociology. An Audi-visual Aids Workshop is con-ducted under the leadership of Clifford E. Larson, professor of religious education. In addition to these classes a 35- minute Chapel period is held be-tween the two class periods. Dr. W. Robert Smith, visiting professor of philosophy, is giving a special lecture series on The Christian Life. Professor Clifford Larson, direc-tor of the evening school, will be able to answer any other inquiries. Ramm's Philosophy Seminar Meets Fri. Has any philosopher from Anax-imander to Alexander, or any re-ligious ideology from occultism to economic nationalism ever confus-ed you? Have you struggled through at least 18 hours of philo-sophy? All students answering the above in the affirmative are invited to bring their problems to Dr. Ber-nard Ramm's Philosophy Seminar. This discussion group meets in-formally every Friday from 12:15 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Room 204 of the College building. The theme of today's discussion will be, "Has God Left a Witness?"

Bethel Students Said Healthy The Bethel Health Service re-ports that the recent physical ex-aminations found students in gen-erally good physical condition. A staff of three doctors, nine nurses and four student assistants co-operated to examine 228 stud-ents. Those subject to this check-up were the football athletes and first-year students of both college and seminary. This physical examination was given in two stages: the first was a laboratory test and the second a medical examination by physicians. Results of Ramsey County Mobile T.B. examinations given September 9, to 484 students have recently been reported. FALCON HEIGHTS STATE BANK Open a checking account 1544 W.

Lake St. Dr. David Nelson, new assistant professor of chemistry is a native of Canada and comes to Bethel from Iowa State College. He re-ceived his Ph.D. in chemistry there in 1951, having completed his un-dergraduate work at the University of Alberta. Dr. Nelson's work at Iowa State was in synthesizing compounds for possible use in anti-histamine type medicine. Dr. and Mrs. Nelson have a six-week old baby girl. They live at 1679 West Minnehaha Avenue. With the addition of Dr. Nelson . and the completion of the modern well-equipped chemistry labora-tory, Bethel can now offer almost all the courses required for pre-medical or pre-dental students. Or-ganic chemistry and quantative analysis classes are in progress. Bodien Counseling To Aid Frosh In order to help freshman girls adjust themselves with college life, a new counseling system has been established in Bodein residence un-der the advisership of Miss Effie Nelson, Dean of Women. Counselors have been chosen to aid the new students in their spir-itual, scholastic and social problems whenever the need arises. This will not only help the girls individually but it will encourage better rela-tionships between upper classmen and freshman girls. Those who are serving as coun-selors are Patricia Alms, Marilyn Anderson, Shirley Anderson, Mar-ilyn Bittner, Carolyn Clark, Caro-lyn Dahlquist, Darlene Dorow, Ethel Edwards, Florence Jacobson, Virginia Larson, Joyce Marcellis, Joyce Martinson, Barbara Mullin, Annemarie Oesterle, Florence Pruessner, Mary Radunz, Joy Sho-gren, Nancy Swanson and Carol Joy Turnwall. The faculty advisers, seven of whom have been chosen to date, are: Dr. Virginia Grabill, associate professor of Literature; Clifford Larson, assistant professor of re-ligious education; Russell Johnson, assistant professor of biology; David Guston, associate librarian; Swan Engwall, assistant professor of psychology and philosophy; Quentin Bohne, assistant professor of mathematics and physics; and Roy Dalton, instructor in history. These advisers go with the teams whenever possible, each adviser counselling his own team. Mr. Al-phin Conrad, seminary instructor in Biblical Theology and Evangel-ism, is overall coordinator of the teams. Bethel gospel teams go to churches of the Twin Cities and the state. In addition, a gospel team has charge of the chapel ser-vice each week at the Goodwill In-dustries. A gospel team may have charge of the entire service or it may supplement the regular ser-vice of the church with special music and visitation. Majority of Students Have Part-time Jobs Probably over half of Bethel students are earning part of their college expenses, Dean C. E. Carl-son estimates. Most of them work just a. few hours. Nik Dag Opinion Is Pro and Con by Eloise Anderson Nik Dag is only three weeks away, and the big problem of the girls these days is whom to ask and how. For the first time, the girls are only allowed five days to ask the fellows. There are plenty of men to go around, 220 single men compared to 147 single wo-men. There are difference of opinion as to whether the five-day asking time is long enough. Martha With-crow likes the idea because then she has "cold feet" for only a few days. Roy Walters thinks it's fine because then he doesn't have to keep refusing girls for so many weeks. Meme Olander says that she needs more than five days to make a corsage that would, suit the fellow's particular needs. One fellow says it's nice to have to wonder for only five days if he'll be asked, while Jay Fernlund likes to get used to the idea for a few weeks in advance. Some of the fellows don't even have an opinion on the matter. Time does-n't matter to John Swanson, just so he can be on the receiving end for a change. One girl is all for the five-day rule because she can never get up the nerve to ask un-til the last minute anyway. And then there are some lucky girls like Ruth Sheets who don't even have to ask. Nurses Organize NCF Unit Here by Jeanne Swanson Yes, it was a surprise to us too upon our first informal gathering to learn that Bethel has approxi-mately twenty nurses on campus this year. Feeling a need for fellowship with those of like interests, and desiring to be of help to prospec-tive student nurses as well as to those already enrolled in schools affiliated with hospitals of this area, a new chapter of NCF has been born into the Bethel family. The Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF) is an international organiza-tion originating as a branch of the IVCF in 1948. Its purpose is pri-marily to encourage the spiritual lives of Christian nurses, and to establish a positive witness for Christ in every school of nursing. Our meetings are being held on Thursdays, during the lunch hour, in room 224 of the girls' dormitory, for purposes of organization, dis-cussion, and prayer. At our meet-ing of October 2, election of offi-cers was held. Jeanne Swanson was chosen as chairman, and Georgann Mavis as secretary. It is our desire to serve the Lord by means of Gospel teams visiting the various NCF groups and churches in the twin-city area. It is also the purpose of the group to stimulate an interest on campus NCF and the nursing profession. Above all, our objective is "That in all things He might have the pre-eminence." Advisers Set for Gospel Teams Twelve gospel teams this year represent Bethel in Christian service according to Mr. Robert Featherstone, Christian service director. Each gospel team has a student leader and a faculty adviser. The student leaders, who were chosen on the basis of Christian leadership and character, are: Gene Messenger, Ray Brace, Wally Olson, Mike Rucinski, Cal Edlund, Jay Fernlund, Bob Brucato, Bill Swanson, Ed Meyer, Ber-nard DeBar, Don Richardson, and Gesta Lexon. Wanted: Half a dozen tenors of assorted sizes, temperaments, and talents to help fill the back row in the Oratorio choir. Miss Mildred Bisgrove, assisant professor of Music, reports there was a shortage of tenors at the first rehearsal when about 45 persons came out. All parts are still open for additional voices. Work on the "Messiah" has al-ready been started, and the audi-tion for the solo_ parts will be held about November 1 when Miss Bis-grove and Mr. Roger Bailey, teach-er of voice, will select the winners. All students are eligible to try out. The first singing of the "Messiah" supported by assistant professor, C.

There is no question but that the results of the Wisconsin primary, along with other factors, have radically altered the character of the campaign. The show of strength of the McCarthy forces is too striking to be ignored. If McCarthy had been defeated, or if he had won by only a slight margin, the question of Eisen-howers endorsement of him might have been regarded as academic. But the re-sult of the Wisconsin primary has been to make "McCarthyism" a very live issue. From this point of view the Republican strategy appears to have shifted. In the early stages of the campaign it was apparent that the Eisenhower people re-garded the so-called independent note as essential to success. It was evident that Eisenhower's moderation at that time was designed to appeal to this class of voters. But it has become increasingly clear that such an appeal could be made only at the expense of unity in the party; it did not satisfy extremists of the McCarthy- Taft-Jenner variety. Accordigly the effort to attract th eindependents has, to all appearances, been abandoned. Evidently the plan now is to solidify the G.O.P. opposition to the Democratic administration, and to attempt to win on the strenght of the party itself, together with as many malcontents as might be won over over by the stress on "the mess in Washington." There does not seem to be any other explanation of Eisenhower's blanket endorsement of men for whom he certainly can feel no ideological sympathies. Senator Taft's conviction that the way to win an election is to get every last party member out to support the ticket on election day, has apparently displaced the feeling that non-Republican support is essential to success. The Democratic nominee appears, similarly, to be entering upon a second stage in his campaign. It was apparently the Democratic plan for Stevenson to spell out, on a relatively intellectual level, in a reasonably unimpassioned style, and in the candidate's own ineffable manner, the particular program for which he stands. This approach drew the approval of many classe of people, particularly that of organized labor—even the A. F. of L. It probably was attraction to many independents as well. Stevenson apparently feels that this has been done to the satisfaction of all. He will spend the rest of the campaign attempting to cement his gains and to convert them into votes. Apparently this is to be done, according to the Demo-cratic scheme, by allowing the campaign to take on an "up-an'-at-em" aspect. Stev-enson is now beginning to raise his own hand of hoopla. He pokes fun at the Republicans, taunts them for inconsistencies, real or imagined, cracks wise about the "captain candidate" and—though on quite a different lead—is engaging in the kind of political joking 'that Mr Truman has made famous. This stage of the campaign seems to be less reflection of Stevenson's person-ality than the first, but he is equipped with a sense of humor that is very well adapted to this kind of politicking, and there appear to be many hours of rare entertainment for American audiences during the next month. And the turn of the Republican campaign, which has led to at least an "antagonistic coopera-tion" between Eisenhower and the Old guard, is certainly providing him with ample ammunition.

Dear Editor: Thursday evening, Sept. 25, our dining hall resembled a Greyhound bus—In soma ways, that is. Last year's Chapel Choir had a reunion. Since a Greyhound bus was what they called "home" for the three weeks they were on tour, they found it al-together fitting and proper to change the conventional dignity of our dining hall into a more reminiscent atmosphere. The chairs were arranged in order of the seats on the bus. All that was necessary was a little imaginaion, a few worn-out "cracks" fired back and forth, and back they were speed-ing along the highway. Movies and slides of the trip were shown, after which came cheeseburgers and hot chocolate. The com-mittee responsible were Harris Paulson, Barbara Mullin, Lois Mitchell and Rodney Erickson. A Reader As of late our President has been very busy traveling throughout the Middle West. Several weeks ago he was in Chicago and was the main speaker at the 50th Anni-versary of Fridhem (Home of Rest). Fridhem was founded by Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom in 1902, and Dr. Wingblade took greetings from the founder. On Sunday morning President Wingblade spoke at Grace Bap-tist Church, and in the evening he spoke at the Addison Street Church where he was once pastor. Last Monday Dr. Wingblade returned from a great Missionary Convention of eight days up in the Red River Valley. Dr. Wingblade represented Bethel along with a team consisting of the leaders of the Gen-eral Conference. Soon he will leave us again to make an extended trip of the West Coast. Bethel students who live on the campus, and who are registered for voting may do so November 4 at the field house. to ale edit04 Dear Editor: This is the first appearance of "Letters to the Editor" this year. All campus per-sonnel are invited to write us letters. Letters should be brief and clear-cut and well sub-stantiated. Share with us and your fellow students your opinions through this column. All letters must bear signatures but the names of writers will not be printed neces-sarily. All letters are subject to editorial policies. Place letters in PO Box F 10. Soft music, mellow candle-light, loud-plaid shirts, Sunday-best suits, Ma Olson's bread —all these create a pleasant atmosphere on Wednesday night in the Bethel dining hall. Dress-up night is traditional at Bethel and Bethelites look forward to this formal-ity. But there seems to be one element out of place. Like a cow-boy ballad among classical music, like a crash of thunder on a peace-ful star-lit evening, like a rainstorm during a picnic, so loud-plaid shirts intrude upon the atmosphere of Wednesday night dress-up. Every vivid blotch of color should be plucked out and replaced by a white shirt, a necktie and a suit jacket. Then all the elements of Wednesday night would be in harmony with one another. A Reader Dear Reader: We feel that your observation is vali-dated by a number on the campus who are of the same opinion. We invite comment by other students. Ed Dear Editor: I'm mad, raving mad. Normally I ain't one to gripe, but now I got something to really kick up a stink over. It's this fourday check business on Nik Dag Dates. Who are they to be telling us when we can and when we can't ask our flames for a date? This is the only time in the entire year we girls can snag the man we want. When the fellows do the asking they can ask any old time they're a mind to. So the one with the most gumption gets the girl he want mainly because he beat the other guys to it. Now here's the way it is with me. I want to ask Stretch out for the night, but so do seventeen other girls. Well, the rules R..say I can't ask until October 27, 12:15 p.m. which means the earliest chance will be sometime that next morning. That's where it rubs. I have to go to work at the cleaners at 11:00 that morning and Stretch never gets up till after that. So one of the other girls is bound to beat me to it, and it's all because of that silly rule. Frantically yours, A Concerned Young Lady Our Dear Young Lady: We only hope that this year's Nik Dag will be the best ever and we wish the planning committee much success. Ed Keep this Clarion as a Souvenier for Homecoming See you at the game tomorrow An accredited school of NURSING With college affiliation if desired The Mounds-Midway School of Nursing operated in con-nection with Midway Hospital and Mounds Park Hospital, offers the unusual opportunity of studying nursing in hos-pitals of high standard in an atmosphere of Christian fellow-ship and missionary interest. Minimum prerequisites for entrance: high school diploma, sound health, good character, and church affiliation. • Application should be made to: MISS MARY DANIELSON, Director Mounds-Midway School of Nursing 200 EARL STREET ST. PAUL 6, MINN. Along with the expanding inter-collegiate athletic program at Bethel has come a noticeable drop of interest in intramural athletics. Finding a time when teams can field enough players for a game and a seemingly decline in enthusiasm has put a near halt to the pro-gram. The well known, highly fanned flame of previous years has dwindled to a mere spark and forfeits are not at all uncommon when game time arrives. Thus far in the schedule half of the games have had to be forfeited because of lack of players. Possibly an entire revamping of the program is necessary to solve the ever increasing problem. Maybe other sports should be substituted for football. Ping Pong and volleyball might draw more interest. Two rounds of play have been completed in the intramural sched-ule thus far. Minnesota and Iowa are currently riding the top with two victories and no losses. Three games have been forfeited because of lack of players and Norris Magnuson, commissioner, is issuing a call for more fellows to take an interest and is open for suggestions on how the program can better accomplish its purposes. Here are the results of the first two pairings: West-14 Michigan Wisconsin-13 Iowa-2 East-0 Minnesota-2 Illinois-0 Minnesota-19 West-18 Michigan-Wisconsin----2 East-0 Iowa-18 Illinois-12 Bethel Intramural Athletic Program Shows Noticeable Drop In Interest Royals Vie With Lumberjacks In Homecoming Football Tilt While the men's intramural pro-gram is on a seemingly down-hill grade the girls on campus have suddenly appeared on the scene and are interested in starting an intramural sports program. Volleyball and basketball are two of the sports mentioned by the girls where there is interest enough to establish an intra-cam-pus contest. Girls who are desirous to partici-pate in such a league are asked to contact Lois Johnson or Carolyn Dahlquist. Baxter, Carlson Pilot Gridders Jim Baxter and Bob Carlson were selected by their teammates to pilot the 1952 Bethel football team at a meeting held just before the Roch-ester game. Each of the captains are 60- min-ute men playing on the offensive and defensive platoons. Jim plays fullback on offensive and is an outstanding line-backer on the defensive team. Jim is play-ing his second year on the Royal's squad. He made the varsity as a freshman just out of high school from Minnehaha Acadamey in Min-neapolis. Jim Baxter Bob Carlson Bob, whose home town is Manis-tique, Michigan, was an outstand-ing high school athlete in that area. Bob is playing his third year of football at Bethel. As a freshman, he played on Coach Lynn Lun-deen's outstanding gridiron unit as a tackle. Last year Bob was switched to a fullback position, but Coach Win-terbie has put him back in the line this year. He also received the outstanding player award last sea-son and has won two letters on the varsity basketball squad. Both Jim and Bob were unani-mous choices and are capable of leading the team because of their experience and knowledge of the game. Pictured above is one of land Lumberjacks tomorrow ium. Game time is 2 p.m. Bethel DropsWorthington For Second Grid Victory by Cliff Smith Bethel outlasted Worthington J. C. 27-20 to notch their second win of the season last Saturday. A large partisan Worthington crowd watched their favorites bow for the first time in two years to a brilliant Bethel eleven in a spec-tacular contest. Two identical pass plays, Red Kendall to Chuck Smith, gave Bethel a 14-0 first half lead. But Worthington, led by fullback Dick Erickson, fought back in a thrilling second half to go in front 20-14, only then to see Bethel's Jay Williamson race to two touchdowns to pace Bethel to the final seven point margin. Following the scoreless first quar-ter, Bethel opened the second per-iod with a touchdown march from their own 41. Kendall fired a quick pass to speedster Chuck Smith who galloped 30 yards to complete the 45 yard pass play for the first score. Don Stipe successfully tried the extra point. Before the half ended, a second Kendall pass had found the mark to Smith who this time dashed 25 yards. Stipe added the point again to make the half score 14-0. A fired-up Worhington team charged back in the third quarter to marci • 52 yards for a quick touchdown thrust, scoring on full-back Dick Erickson's smash. Erick-son also added the extra point. Just several plays later, the Blue Jays scored again on a short pass, Koepsall to Basche, but failed on the extra point try much to the relief of the stunned St. Paul team. The Blue Jay assault continued right on into the final period. After recovering a Bethel fumble on the Bethel 34, the Jays quickly scored again on Erickson's short plunge. Erickson completed the point after to move his team in front for the first time 20-14. However, Bethel bounced back to score twice in the final five min-utes to ice the contest. Jay William, son crossed the goal line on short dashes for both scores. It was a meaningful victory for Bethel who had been shut out by the Worthington eleven for the past three years. The Bethel grid-ders, accomplished a feat no other team had achieved for the past two years in defeating the Blue Jays. The outstanding tilt was waged in freezing weather on the Worth-ington High School field under the lights. by Gene Messenger Boasting one of the fastest backfields in Northland college history and a well fortified line the lumberjacks from Ashland, Wisconsin, move onto Highland Stadium tomorrow afternoon in an attempt to dampen Bethel's Homecoming spirit. Poised and confident with last weekend's 27-20 victory over highly-rated Worthington the Blue and Gold from Bethel are carrying a spirit of victory and thunder which will be tough to put the damper on. Thus it appears Northland will find it can't win without expecting a little rain to fall on their side of the line. With a great deal of depth in re-serves to bolster their line and a slight weight advantage over the Royals, the Woodsmen are sure to give Bethel's well rounded back-field a good workout. Coach Ross Anderson's squad, es-pecially strong at the tackle posi-tions, may turn the tables on the well known strategy, "If you can gain off tackle you are bound to vvin." A small, but fast and rugged backfield with several veterans and some promising freshman talent provide the Northmen with a well-balanced ground unit. However, with the improvement that has accompanied the Bethel squadron from week to week, coup-led with the traditional homecom-ing spirit, the local eleven will be tough to seat. A noticeable improvement in Bethel's passing attack may mean Basketball Practice the difference when the final gun goes off.

What Will It Be? Royal Riteup Royals? Falcons? Beavers? What will it be? This was the lead in one of our last week's articles. On that same page was a headline which read: "Royals Meet Unbeaten Foe." Why the contradiction? Although it is not the official name the sports department of the Clarion has decided to use the name, Royals, until a definite selection has been made. Because Royal is the choice of the staff and it also has the en-dorsement of the athletic director and the B Club, the sports writers are hoping that the name will be chosen. There seems to be unanimous consensus of opinion regarding its adapability to our colors and our school name. Also, it is not an overly used name. Very few schools in this area are carrying the title and it should be a name that can be kept if a conference berth is gained. A definite decision should be reached as soon as possible so the athletic equipment for basketball can be ordered, cheers can be selected and so we have an authorized title with which to build our news and feature articles around.

Jackets selected were navy blue in color with natural colored leather sleeves. All fellows in the college and seminary who have earned a major letter in any of the sports are permitted to purchase a jacket which will be the official athletic garment. Contrary to an erroneous opin-ion that the garb is an award, Ath-letic Director Del Ray Peterson emphasises the fact that it is not an award but is to be purchased by the letter winners. An emblem to be placed on the attire was also discussed and tenta-tive plans for a crown with the school nickname, Royals, inscribed across it were drawn up. Alumni Versus Varsity In Homecoming Classic Pending on the erecting of the basketball backboards the alumni of Bethel college and seminary will play the varsity basketball squad tonight at 9 p.m. in the new gym-nasium. The traditional classic proves to be interesting and thrilling as pre-vious contests have always been an outstanding Homecoming feature. Rarely in the past has an alumni team been able to defeat the young-er and trimmer varsity athlets, but it is hoped that they put up a good fight.
