Missionary Rally Over 200 Visit Campus
On "U" Campus Snelling and Arlington Avenues
SAINT PAUL 4, MINNESOTA
E£LfiEf ediEgE
Keynote: Missions In Crisis
Registration Begins Friday Mr. Robert Daley, President '
Bethel Student Association
Dear Bob:
Let me express the very warm appreciation of the school ad-ministration
for the splendid manner in which the Student Council
and the students on campus carried through Prospective Students'
Days again this year. We recognize that much planning was re-quired
on the part of the committees and that considerable incon-venience
was experienced by the residents of the dormitories.
It was encouraging to learn that for a number of our guests
the visit to our campus was a significant spiritual experience.
Since the choice of a school is so vitally related to life plans, I
am confident that the efforts and sacrifices involved in arranging
for these days will be well repaid in spiritual fruitage.
Please convey to Clifford Anderson and to all his committees,
as well as to all who participated in any way, the school's and
my own personal appreciation for this fine showing of school
spirit.
Seminary Holds
Extended Chapel
In an extended chapel period
from 9:45 a.m. until 12:15 last
Tuesday the students of the Semin-ary
met with God in a vital way
The service began as a testimony
and prayer service led by Dean
Omark, in which students, one
after another, told how God had
been working In their lives. Re-quests
were made for specific pray-er
needs and a spirit of confession
and sincerity was evident. A desire
to show brotherly love and con-sideration
for others predominated.
Prayer began about mid-way
through the service as students
poured out their hearts to God.
Choruses were sung slowly and
thoughtfully at intervals.
At 12:15, as the meeting dis-missed,
a request was made for a
special time when those interested
in deeper spiritual living could
meet and discuss the issue with
their instructors.

Clothing for both children and
young people is an important item,
and should be of light weight ma-terial
because of the warm climate
of the Islands.
All small school supplies are ac-ceptable
if they are not difficult
to mail or impractical from some
other standpoint. Donations to
cover the cost of large equipment,
and money for stamps and packag-ing
are also needed.
Students who have an interest
and a burden for this work may
help in collecting and packing the
donations for overseas mailing and
donate their time in other ways.
All who may, join in unceasing
prayer for Mr. Chanco, his work,
and missionary enterprises.
Very sincerely,
C. E. Carlson

NewGarb for Singers
Members of Bethel's Male Chorus
appeared in their new tuxedoes for
the first time during Founder's
Week and made their second full-dress
appearance (complete with
black bow tie), Sunday evening at
the Payne Avenue Church where
they presented several vocal selec-tions.
Twenty-five tuxedoes are no
minor matter and measuring and
ordering of the double-breasted
suits began some time ago.
Each member bore the expense
of his own dress suit. When the
chorus breaks up for the summer,
or when new members enter the
ranks next year, old members may
sell their tuxedoes, if they desire.
Chapel choir members have re-cently
acquired new choir robes of
maroon with gold satin stoles and
inner sleeves. The Girls' Chorus
will be wearing formal white blous-es
and dark skirts this season.
Appearances of the three groups
have been scheduled in the Twin
City churches for various occasions
during the school year.
The following appears as an ex-pression
of thanks to all those who
recently showed their concern for
the welfare of Margaret Friberg
and Gertrude Nelson following
their toboggan accident and hos-pitalization.
We wish to sincerely thank the
Girls' Dorm Council, the Students'
Union, and the residents of the
four Dormitories at Bethel for the
kindness shown us after our recent
accident.
The prayers and gifts of our
many friends at Bethel were very
much appreciated.
Margaret Friberg

Come from North
And Midwest
Over 200 prospective students
from Nebraska, Canada, Illinois,
lower Michigan and Indiana, as
well as those from local areas spent
March 9, 10, and 11 giving Bethel
campus the once-over.
Young people began arriving late
Wednesday, all day Thursday and
a part of Friday registering upon
their arrival and entering with a
will into the activity Bethel's Pro-spective
Student Committee had
planned for them. They came by
bus, by car and by train and were
met by welcoming committees at
the various depots.
Bethelites went all-out on the
hospitality angle, if accurate judge-ment
can be drawn from the num-ber
who turned out of their own
beds and slept on the "State-fair
imported" mattresses for the dura-tion
of their guests' stay. Prospec-tive
students again and again voic-ed
their delight in the friendly
atmosphere they found on campus.
A chartered street-car aided in
transporting the newcomers to the
Minnehaha gym where they witnes-sed
three basketball games Thurs-day
evening. Classes that opened
with prayer and instructors in-terested
in the soul-welfare of
their students were new to many of
the visitors, as they filled halls
and classrooms Friday morning.
The choral groups and music de-partment
of the school presented
a musicale Friday afternoon, and
the campus literary societies round-ed
out the day by combining ef-forts
to produce a picture of Bethel
social and devotional life.
Transportation to the point of de-parture
was provided for all pro-spective
students Saturday and
meals and accomodations were pro-vided
free of charge to the visitors.
Bethel looks back, amid borrowed
mattresses and a heavy laundry to
those youthful visitors who, by
their own testimony found •spiritual
and informative value in their mo-ments
on campus.
Seminarians View
Pastor's Social Life
"What should a pastor's social
life include?" was the question
with which Seminary students and
their friends were concerned at
the meeting of the Alexis Society
last Tuesday evening.
Speakers were Gilbert Lawrence,
Al Olsson and Edgar Klatt, who
each made his conribution toward
the answer of tile question under
consideration.
A social hour followed the meet-ing
and was held in the Seminary
lounge where 'cookies and coffee
were served.
The Alexis group meets one even-ing
a month during the school year
and was instrumental in setting up
the investigation committee for
students desiring to serve in
Europe. It is the only formal stud-ent
organization of the Seminary
apart from the three class groups.
What promises to be the greatest missionary rally held in this area
will take place at the University of Minnesota from Friday, March 24
through Sunday, March 26.
The keynote is "Missions in this day of crisis." Speakers will in-clude:
Paul Lindell, director of the World Mission Prayer League;
Phil Armstrong, regional director of the Far Eastern Gospel Crusade;
and Wesley Gustafson, missionary secretary of the Inter-Varsity Chris-tian
Fellowship.
The rally will begin with regis-tration
at 4:00 p.m. March 24 in
the Museum of Natural History on
the University campus, with the
opening session at 7:00 p.m. Meet-ings
will continue throughout Sat-urday
in the Museum, where
speakers, discussions, movies, dis-plays
will be included on the pro-gram.
A banquet at 6 p.m. will be
held in the Hope Lutheran Church.
Climaxing the rally will be the
Foreign Students Tea in the Uni-versity
Union at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
Several hundred foreign students
of nearly every race and creed
have been invited.
The co-sponsors are the Student
Missionary Conference (of local
schools and hospitals) and the
Foreign Missions Fellowship of the
Inter-varsity Christian Fellowship.
Tickets at 1.25 may be obtained
from Roger Hedberg or Glen
Swanson by Tuesday, March 21.
They will also arrange transporta-tion
for all students.
C. EMANUEL CARLSON, Dean
Rev. G. Peterson Deeper Life Speaker
The Rev. Gordon Peterson from Waukegan, Ill., will bring a series
of messages during Bethel's spring Deeper Life week, March 27-31.
Mr. Peterson, for four years pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist church
in Waukegan and a musician on the piano as well as a pastor, has
progressed in the ministry since starting Bethel's first chapel choir
12 years ago during his student days on campus.
With his encouragement, the Emmanual congregation took action
on a growing building fund and plan to dedicate its new church build-ing,
which seats 500, on April 26.
A family man with his wife, two boys and a girl, Mr. Peterson still
finds time to negotiate with the General Baptist Conference Foreign
Mission Board.
He will bring messages at chapel and vesper services daily.
The Rev. Clarence Nelson, former president of Minnehaha academy,
delivered a series of sincere messages during Deeper Life meetings at
Bethel last spring.
Jungle Students Need
Books and Clothing
March 15, 1950
STUDENTS CHALLENGED BY the outstanding faith of Mr. Amado
Chanco and his work in the Philippines are now being given an oppor-tunity
to help his native people in the Islands.
A drive for books, clothing and equipment to be used in the jungle
school which Mr. Chanco heads, will be conducted in the near future.
A list of books, which are needed will be posted on the college and
Seminary bulletin boards. These
books should be in servicable con-dition
and, in general, any books
which would be useful in elemen-tary
and high school levels are
needed. Bibles, testaments and de-votional
books are especially need-ed
for the theological school Mr.
Chanco hopes to start.

Done In Order
With the advent of Spring, a new
and inspiring picture of our campus
will greet us, and the verdant
freshness of green lawns and sun-ny
sidewalks brings to mind a
necessary even though none too
popular subject . . . campus clean-liness.
A Christian, at all times, should
strive to present to the world a
neat appearance and a tidy look,
for when one is in the solomn busi-ness
of reflecting Christ in every
action, all phases of life should be
"to His glory."
So it is that we approach the
subject of neatness, with an appeal
that every student that all who
would serve Him in the least as
well as the greatest things, would
take the time to deposit their un-wanted
scraps of paper, their bits
of odds and ends and their old
gum wrappers in the containers
provided for such articles.
Does it seem like a trivial re-quest,
much ado about nothing?
Maybe it is, but to be on the safe
side, to be assured of a campus
and buildings that we can rightly
take pride in because of their
spotless appearance, lets' make an
even greater effort to each be a
committee of one to wage war
against disorder, slovenliness, and
uncleanliness.
Remember the great apostle
Paul, in his letter to the Corinth-ian
church, thought the subject of
enough worth to admonish, "Let
everything be done decently and in
order."
On Perseverance
Breathes there a lass
Who's in my class
With hope so dead
Who's never said
"How I love he
Why don't him love me?
Latest styles he ignores
And parloring he abhors
To Chanel No. 5 he is immune
And Liebestraum is only a tune
He only balks
When I suggest walks
And tho' he's irresistable
'Round me he's desistable.
And when I see girls"
Wearing diamonds and pearls
I forget all my slurs
To see how it occurs
That they get the bright rocks
While I get the White Sox.
I find no satisfaction
That their man of action
Is just a phenomena
That isnt' -very common-a
But after much confusion
I've come to a conclusion
That despite all appearance
It takes sheer perseverance
To make a strong he-man
A weak and helpless she-man
So now I don't worry
Nor do I hurry
To get that shy guy
To be strictly my guy
For I'm trusting time
To make him mine
'Cause the victory will come
Not to the one
Who hesitates
But she who waits.
The Death of Mrs.
Prayer Meeting
Mrs. Prayer Meeting died re-cently
at the First Neglected
Church, on Worldly Avenue. Born
many years ago in the midst of
great revival, she was a strong,
healthy child, fed largely on testi-mony
and Bible study, soon grow-ing
into world-wide prominence,
and was one of the most influen-tial
members of the famous Church
family.
For the past several years Sister
Prayer Meeting has been failing
in health, gradually wasting away
until rendered helpless by stiff-ness
of knee, coldness of heart,
inactivity and weakness of pur-pose
and will power. At the last
she was but a shadow of her for-mer
happy self. Her last whispered
words were inquiries concerning
the strange absence of her loved
ones, now busy in the marts of
trade and places of worldly amuse-mints.
Experts, including Dr. Works,
Dr. Reform, and Dr. Joiner, dis-agreed
as to the cause of her fatal
illness, administering large doses
of •arganization, socials, contests,
and drives, but to no avail.. A
post-mortem showed that lack of
a heartfelt religion and general
support were contributing causes.
Only a few were present at her
death, sobbing over memories of
her past beauty and power.
Graduation day will soon be here
and then the Degrees will be given
out. In talking to one who is finish•
ing school this year, he told me
that even though he is graduating
and geting his BA., he will still
have to depend upon his P.A. to
support him. He went on to say,
"I wish I could get a job like
F. Swanson has and then I wouldn't
have to depend upon dad for sup-port.
But how can I, in selling, talk
to outside people, when I can hard-ly
talk to some people here at
school?"
I answered his question by simp-ly
telling him that I though it was
the ,duty and responsibility of each
student to build up his speaking
abilities while in College. Tau
Sigma Pi is just one of the many
organizations where you may do
just that, for TSP offers yofi a
chance to build up self confidence
and opportunities unlimited for
voluntary participation in this club.
Some would now say, "Well I
can't meet between 7:30 and 8:30
on Monday evenings because I have
to study!" Do they really study all
the time or is that just a way out?
Even if they do, I assure those
people that one hour (just one
hour) off from the books for a
time of social (humorous) refresh-ment
(in a different atmosphere
than the library) would tend to
build up their morale 100%.
Why not try out Tau Sigma Pi
this coming Monday night, for we
have a special treat in store for
you. Henry Nelson will give an
oration that you won't want to
miss; we will have an Extempor-aneous
speech; a few Impromptu
speeches and a humorous debate.
This starts at 7:30 P.M. sharp, so
be in the Seminary Lounge at 7:28
for a relaxing good time.
Now we know from the above
paragraphs that we can improve
our speech by coming to Tau Sigma
Pi and taking an active part in the
programs presented. But even bet-ter
still, we can go to God daily,
asking Him to' guide our lips and
our tongues in daily services for
ON THE BURNER
A good definition for the word
man is, "A WOMAN'S PET
PEEVE." He continually grumbles
about his girl being late for an
appointment, but let him be late
and see what happens—either the
car has lost one wheel, or he just
couldn't make it through all of the
five o'clock traffic. After all, isn't
it a mans' privilege to be late and
not appear overly anxious if he
chooses?
How he admires Mrs. SO AND
SO'S new red dress, but let his
wife get one and he nearly raises
the roof. Doesn't she realize that
dresses are expensive?
I do believe that never yet has
there been a man who has enjoyed
shaving—not even if he's in love.
When he appears with a mass of
"Porcupine pricklers" on his chin,
he usually gives either the excuse
that he's lost his shaving cream,
or that his electric razor went "on
the blink."
A man is the most helpless crea-ture
on the earth—in the estima-tion
of every woman. Just leave
him alone sometime to fill his own
stomach and do his own mending,
and get himself up in the morning
and you'll soon find out. When you
come back he'll still be there, but
what a funny sight—He looks like
by Harold Lind
Him and speaking what will be
pleasing to His sight.
The apostle Peter points this out
in the third chapter of Acts and
the sixth verse, where he says
to the lame man who sat by the
gate of the temple called Beauti-ful,
" . . . Silver and gold have I
none; but such as I have give I
thee : In the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth rise up and walk." In
this chapter we have a vivid word
picture of human need against a
background of beauty and splendor.
The best in human ability, aspira-tion,
and effort was invested in the
spacious courts and massive walls
of the Temple. Against this back-ground
of beauty and achievement,
we see a crippled man lying at the
gate Beautiful. What a contrast!
Beauty and broken humanity!
Strength and weakness! Attention
to things material and neglect of
humanity!
This ancient story has its pre-sent-
day counterpart—modern cili-lization
and human need today.
With all our knowledge, discover-ies,
inventions, culture—upon these
man cannot depend to save his
soul. It is Christ only who saves
us. It is through His compassionate
love that those who are spiritually
lame are enabled to walk. His great
love opens the eyes of those blind
to things of the spirit. His Spirit
makes useful those who otherwise
would remain helpless and hope-less
amid the wonders of our civili-zation.
Therefore let us, who are naming
the Name of Christ, take hold of
these words and burn them into
our own hearts. We may not have
much to offer to our friends; to
our mother and dad ; to our girl;
or to other loved ones, but such
as we have, let us give it to them
and that is "In the name of Jesus
Christ of Nazareth, know this, that
it is only Jesus who saves from
hell, and makes heaven a certain-ty.
May we be Peters and Johns in
our daily lives, sharing with others
the secret of Christ's redeeming
and keening love.

LOVE is that which sees some-thing
in you after all other eyes
have grown dim with the strain,
and blinded by the obstacles.
LOVE is that which finds the
precious after all others have
grown weary with searching.
LOVE is that which holds on
after others have let you go, and
still follows you after you have
succeeded in tearing yourself
away.
LOVE is that which answers the
discordant for the hundredth time
with the same harmony, only with
more sweetness than at the first.
l4 ems of itbougbt
By President Wingblade
For some years after the first
World War "efficiency experts" be-came
quite prominent in industry
and "efficiency courses" became
quite popular in schools.
In a burst of enthusiasm I en-rolled
for one of these courses and
found 'it very profitable and the
discussion rather inspiring.
I recall the first assignment
which our class was given. We
were each handed a sheet of paper
ruled with squares, each square
to represent a five-minute period
and the whole to cover twenty-four
hours of time. We were asked to
fill in all the squares indicating
specifically what we had done with
those twenty-four hours. It was
something to set young men think-ing
about the value and possibili-ties
of time.
It was Sir Walter Scott who said
"Lovest thou life? Use then wisely
your time for that is the stuff of
which life is made."
We say so often, "I do not have
time for this or that." The answer
is that we do have twenty-four
hours of time for each sunrise, but
we choose to do something else
with that particular time. It is a
matter of relative values and our
judgment regarding them. Some
day we will have time—to die.
How true it is that if we use
the time in one way we cannot
use the same time in another way.
If we read one book we cannot
read the other. So the "good" may
become an enemy to the "better"
or "best."
Some of the greatest men of his-tory
have not necessarily been bril-liant
men but rather faithful men
using the time and talent they had.
Calvin Coolidge said that, in his
observation, far more men fail be-cause
of lack of application than
for lack of ability.
And Dwight L. Moody in the
great Edinburgh revival said to his
friend Reynolds of Peoria: "Pray
for me, Reynolds. I need your pray-ers
now more than ever. You
know, I am just a one-talented man.
Sometimes I think I am only a half-talented
'man."
I recall a message in the chapel
service at Chicago University many
years ago' on "Putting in the
Time." The speaker said, "If you
put in your time faithfully you can
go into the examination room and
say to the professor, 'Here I am.
I have put in the time. Do with me
what you will. I have done my
part.' "
And so before the "great Task
Master's eye", as John Milton puts
it, can we say, "I have put in the
time"? Will He say, "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant." It
is all of grace. It is for us to root
our faith and faithfulness in His
eternal faithfulness.
LOVE is that which gives more
after it seems to have emptied
all treasures and exhausted all re-sources.
LOVE is that which is correct-ing
encourages, in reproving gives
hope.
LOVE is that which is more
beautiful under reverses, and is
the freshness of youth with age.
LOVE is that which treads the
fathomless, touches the outer
bounds of the boundless and scales
the utmost heights.

BY CLIFF SMITH
Now that the 1949-50 basketball season is over, thoughts go flashing
back over the season's highlights and in most of these highlights, the
name of Ken Greenman shines brightly. Whenever the spotlight was
turned on Bethel basketball, almost similtaneously the name-Ken
Greenman-was put into focus.
Thursday, March 9, marked the end of the four year "Greenman
regime" here at Bethel. During that period of time, Ken saw Bethel
change from junior to senior college, from which he will be graduated
this spring. Although his teammates have been many as the combina-tions
changed almost yearly, Ken believes that the starting five this
years was outstanding.
Ken started off at a guard posi-tion
in his initial year which was
the 1946-47 season. Soon he was
proving to be a valuable member
of the squad and was scoring with
good regularity. He finished the
season with 277 points in 18 games
for a 15.4 average. His sophomore
year was another outstanding one
as he scored 332 points. The South-ern
Minnesota Junior College Con-ference,
of which Bethel was a
member, honored Ken by naming
him to the All-Conference team of
1947-48. The following season found
Ken scoring 296 points in 20 games,
including a one game total of 30
points.
The recently completed cage sea-son
took Bethel through a rough
schedule and in piling up the fine
record of 14 won and 5 lost, the
team earned an outstanding reputa-tion
throughout Iowa, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota. Ken was the key
man of the Indian's attack prov-ing
over and over the saying, "how
Greenman scores, the team scores."
To his previous three season's total, he added an additional 365 points
(an average of 19.2 for 19 games) for a grand total of 1,256 points for
an average of 16.1 for 77 games in four years.
Ken's accomplishments will not be quickly forgotten and next year's
crowds will probably wish that the very familiar nurnber "23" was
back again with his scoring feats.
In our next issue we plan on featuring a story about Coach Edwards
and his past five years on campus as Coach and Athletic Director. Paul
Edward's coaching days in this country are over, as his main objective
now is to prepare to move to the Mission Field where he and his family
will serve as missionaries. As a Christian man, Coach Edward's
coaching job has two phases: directing Bethel's sports activities and
superVising the different teams in the different sports competition; and,
being a spiritual coach to all who know him by his testimony for Christ.
The first phase will become a memory of a job well done, but the second
phase now will become a greater challenge to the Coach to keep look-ing
to Christ for instructions in faith and grace to coach the lives of
the se who God sees fit to entrust to him. Yes, the Coach is still a coach,
a coach willing to receive instruction himself so that he may better be
used to give instruction.
Soon we will be organizing Golf and Tennis teams to be entered in
SMJCC tournament 'competition. Are you a golfer? Are you interested
in golf? Have you always wanted to play on a tennis team? Here are
your chances to participate in individual competition. We are not ex-perts,
but then we don't always lose. Sheets will be posted for your
signatures. Lets get these teams underway soon.
I want to give my personal congratulations to Coach Edwards and
each member of the 1949-50 Indian basketball team. To say that credit
should be given where credit is due would mean to say something
favorable about each team member, a task which room does not permit
here. I especially liked the deceptive dribbling and passing coordinat-ed
between Wood and Pierce. Bud Bjorndahl really fought hard for
and went high into the air after many rebounds and usually came down
in possession of the ball. Right at the start Peterson appeared a little
cold and akward but it was interesting to watch him develope smooth-ness
and really fit In nicely on the starting five. There is no doubt
in my mind that Greenman's offensive play has been tops in the two
seasons I've watched him play. The subs know how to handle them-selves
and not once did an opponent become any greater threat because
of the second team.
The 1949-50 edition of Bethel
basketball opened its season on
November 28, 1949 at Waverly,
Iowa, where the taller home team
downed the Indians to the tune of
56-41. Taking an a team reputed
to be one of the best in Wisconsin
cage circles, the Redmen dropped
their second on the road, 66-54, to
Superior.
Then came a string of five vic-tories
at the expense of Rochester,
Austin, Bethany, Luther and North-land.
Three of the starters, Ken
Greenman, Bud Pierce and Gordy
Wood, were taking things well in
stride in these contests as they
all scored point totals of twenty
or more. Meanwhile, Bud Bjorndahl
and Don Peterson were handling
rebounds nicely.
Eau Claire stopped the Indians
67-58 on the Teachers court in the
next encounter. Running up their
highest score-that of 80-the Bet-hel
team dumped Concordia easily,
followed by four more consecutive
wins. These were registered against
Brainerd, Austin, Waldorf and Con-cordia
to run the total wins to ten.
Playing at Ashland, Wisconsin
against a tall Northland club, the
Redmen were downed in a game
which gave revenge to the home
team. This score was 67-58. Worth-ington
fell before the high-scoring
Indians 67-58, but next Brainerd
tripped Bethel in a hotly played
contest in which fouls were the
deciding factor with three Bethel
starters being ejected via the foul
route.
Finishing up the season in a
blaze of glory, the Indians won
three straight from Bethany, Lut-her,
and Rochester to make a final
record of 14 wins and 5 losses. Ken
Greenman wound up with 365
points, an average of 19.2: Gordy
Wood had 242 for 12.7 edging Bud
Pierce who. finished with 239 for
12.6. Don Peterson totaled 140
points while Bud Bjorndahl had 81.

"Yellowjackets" Fall, 72-41
The 1949-50 Bethel Cage team put the finishing touches to a suc-cessful
season last March 9th by defeating Rochester Junior College for
the second time this season, by a margin of 72-41. A crowd composed
of Rochester rooters, prospective students, and the local student body,
witnessed the Indians hold a substantial lead throughout the event,
never to be threatened.
In the preliminary, Bethany Baptist Church was defeated by the
Bethel "B" team, 23-18, in which De Vries and Swanson tied for scoring
honors with 7 points each.
Peterson started off the main
event by putting Bethel in the lead
2-0, but Rochester balanced the
score with a field goal. A field goal
by Wood put Bethel out in front
again and each member of the
starting five contributed in the
scoring column to give Bethel a
41-22 lead at half-time.
In the last half, a field goal by
Ted Johnson gave Bethel a score
twice that of their opponents at
60-30. Inspite of their deficit in the
scoring column, the Rochester
"Yellowjackets" kept a determined
fighting spirit until the final buz-zer
was sounded, at which time the
scored favored Bethel 72-41.
The event marked veteran center
Ken Greenman's last game for the
Indians and also the last game
Coach Paul Ddwards coached for
Bethel, two losses which will be
noticed in seasons to come.

41 Playing their first game of the
season on an unfamilliar court,
that of the Northwestern Schools,
the Bethel Girl's Basketball team
bowed to a snappy Northwestern
Girl's team, 45-26, on March 6th.
The fine-coordinated teamwork of
the "Northwesterners" enabled
them to hold a substantial lead
throughout the game.
On Thursday night, March 9th,
the Bethel girls proved for the
second time this season to be too
powerful for the University Ag.
Campus, being victorious to the
tune of a 34-15 margin. Skoog and
Messnor were high point players
for Bethel and the Ags respuective.
ly
Last Satutday afternoon the Bet-hel
girls were kept on their toes
by an alert Murray high school
team, however, they managed to
emerge victorious 43-34. Again Bob-be
Lou Cooper led the scoring
parade by netting a 21 point total,
and also Janice 'Jackson's 14 point
total gave her honors in the event.

Polishing off a successful basket-ball
season, the Indians were vic-torious
in each of their last three
games this season, which were all
played on the home court (Minne-haha).
The first two of these final
games ended in a 67-51 win over
Bethany Junior College, last Feb-ruary
25th, and a 62-48 victory over
Luther Junior College, on February
28th. The victories marked the
second time each opponent had fal-len
under Indian power this season.
In the Bethany game, Greenman
was high scorer with a total of 19
points. Pierce, Wood, and Peterson,
each added heavily to the scoring
column for Bethel by dropping in
13, 12, and 1.1 points respectively.
Greenman had one of his best
scoring nights of the season in the
Austin game when he again took
the honors with a 27 total. Wood
followed with 16 points.

Spanish Pupils Gain Marlin Nelson Active In Gym Team
Practical Experience
"!Las comidas en el comedor de
Bethel son buenas!" Such strange
sounds came from one crowded
table last Wednesday in the din-ing
hall. Many faces responded
with a puzzled look, but others
produced a faint smile as they re-cognized
familiar Spanish phrases.
Second year Spanish students
have planned to meet informally
each Wednesday with Miss Ryberg
and Rosie Solis. They will allow
no English to be spoken during the
lunch hour at their table. The class
feels that this practical "out- of-classroom"
experience will help
them to increase their vocabulary
and hearing the language will aid
them in their understanding.
As in most English conversa-tions,
the weather seemed to be
the main topic of discussion for
the day. One observer questioned,
however, "Why is no one at that
table speaking except Senorita
Ryberg and Senorita Solis?"
Dorm Party Features
Irish Theme, Songs
A green-trimmed and shamrock-studded
table, Irish songs and dit-ties,
and a skit written for the oc-cassion,
furnished the St. Patrick's
Day setting for the Girls' Dorm
party in the lounge of Bodien Resi•
dente, Monday evening, March 13.
The program, presented by the
girls of the third floor, old wing,
was-led by June Carlson. The skit,
a little drama centered around
overalls and Mrs. Murphy's chow-der,
was written by Shirley Bjorn
and narrated by Joanne Wetmore.
Shirley Gustafson, Alice Silvery,
Ardis Anderson and the writer
composed the cast.
With Ardis Anderson at the
piano, songs of the Emerald Isle
were followed by devotional sing-ing
of hymns and chorsues. The
program continued with two vocal
solos by Shirley Kilgore and a duet
from Elaine Holmquist and Sue
Danielson, accompanied by Lenore
Anderson. A poem of challenge and
consecration was read by Beverly
Hiebel.
Program Given
For Prospects
By Lit. Groups
Scenes depicting campus life and
activities in the humorous vein,
were presented before Prospective
Students and Bethelites Friday
evening, March 10, by the combin-ed
efforts of the four Literary
Societies.
Members of Lads, Lassies, Lords
and Ladies all cooperated to fur-nish
original sketches of familiar
campus happenings, including a
Zoology lab class, a talk from two
foreign students, a demonstration
by the camera club, an exhibition
by the cheerleaders, band and tum-blers,
slides from Homecoming, a
scene from the Sophomore Retreat,
a Spring banquet dialogue, an
organ rendition, and a Gospel team
in action. z
The scenes, which were devised
by each group which enacted them,
were tied together by the com-ments
of a high school student
looking forward to his trip to Bet-hel
for Prospective Students Days,
and written by Marilyn Kortum.
Ruth Martinson and Vickey Bal-cora
planned and arranged the pro-gram
and they were aided by about
thirty of the members of the Liter-ary
Societies.

The gymnastic team was formed
last year under the direction of
Ernie Davis, veteran tumbler and
gymnast. It has added equipment
this year and is now a polished,
smooth-performing unit which is
recognized as an accepted college
sport, having ziven exhibitions at
hockey games, high school and col-lege
basketball games, etc.
Marlin Nelson, red-haired sopho-more
from Danville, Iowa, is most
familiar to Bethel students as an
acrobatic cheerleader, and secondly
as an active member of the gym-nastics
squad.
Marlin's sports days got a good
start at Danville (Ia.) high school
where he earned letters in baseball
and basketball. Here at Bethel
gymnastics have received most of
the attention of his 5' 8" and 160
pounds of ability.

t. "But my God shall supply all
your need according to his riches
in glory by Jesus Christ"—Philip-pians
4:19.
If it hadn't been for this pro-mise,
I would not have been able
to attend Bethel this year, and it
is this promise that I shall depend
upon to help me go to school dur-ing
the next few years to prepare
myself for full-time Christian ser-vice
on the mission field.
I would like to make an appeal
to each reader to put his trust
in God for his every need, for I
have found that it really works!
Faith is a grasping of Almighty
power;
The hand of man laid on the arm
of God:
The grand and blessed hour
In which the things impossible
to me
Become the possible, 0 Lord,
through Thee.
Anna E. Hamilton
Outstanding not only for his
athletic accomplishments, Marlin
has displayed vigorous interest
and participation in spiritual func-tions
of Bethel life. Gospel team
work and singing in the male
chorus supplement his activities as
a member of Calvary Baptist
church. Marlin also derives plea-sure
playing gospel songs on his
electric guitar.
Regarding campus life, he states
that the Christian environment—
teachers, chapel services, prayer
meetings—is something to enjoy to
the fullest, but he also expresses
concern over the lack of desire of
the average student to witness
every day. "We cannot continually
take in spiritual blessings and
never share them with others or
we will soon become dull and
stagnant."
Florence Nordstrom
Often I have heard ministers
and missionaries tell how they
found money in their mailboxes in
answer to prayer. It seemed sort
of mysterious to me, for although
the Lord had always supplied my
needs, such as tuition, before, I
always knew the source of the
gift.
This quarter I had a little more
than $15 to pay for tuition and
four new books. Since I work for
my room and board, I would re-ceive
no money these next few
months. I claimed the promise,
"Being confident of this very
thing, that he which hath begun
a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ,"
Phil. 1:6. The Lord had led me to
Bethel and I knew He also would
supply the way.
Then things began to happen.
On Feb. 25 I received $10 from a
known source. On the following
Tuesday night -when I came to my
room after work, I 'found an enve-lope
on my desk with $15 in it.
Thursday morning as I went to
write an exam I looked in my mail
box and found another envelope
with $15. I knew not whence they
came, except that the Lord had
moved in answer to prayer. Again
that day I received $5 in a letter
from a friend.
