American Historical Society
Gives Dr. Wik Highest Award
The large universities of our country are not the only ones that
can boast of having men of outstanding scholarship on their faculty.
The scholarship of Dr. Reynold Wik, of our History Department has
been crowned with the Albert J. Beveridge Memorial Fellowship Award
given by the American Historical Society.
The Albert J. Beveridge Award is made annually by the American
Historical Society to any North American historian for the best original
manuscript in the field of American history. The award is the highest
one given by the Society and consists of fifteen hundred dollars cash
plus the publication of the manuscript by the University of Pennsyl-vania
Press in the Beveridge Memorial Historical Series, with certain
royalty rights.
Dr. Wik was presented with the
award for his . manuscript on
"Steam Power on the American
Farm", at the annual banquet. of
the Society given on December the
29th at the Stevens Hotel in Chi-cago.
Present at this occasion were
650 guests among which were
some of the outstanding historians
in the country.
Dr. Wik obtained his Bachelor
of Arts degree from Sioux Falls
College and his Master of Arts and
Doctor of Philosophy degrees from
the University of Minnesota. His
winning manuscript, a result of
three years of research work and
writing, was his thesis for the
Doctor's degree awarded him last
year.
The part of the award that pleas-ed
Dr. Wik the most was not the
money, but the "privilege of hav-ing
the manuscript published". He
expressed that part of the award
lies in the "acute gratitude that
comes toward those who showed
interest in making this experience
possible. Dr. Wik named his par-ents,
his wife, Dean Carlson, and
many other friends, as being from
whom he received encouragement
in completing his task.
As a student body we wish to
extend our congratulations to Dr.
Wik. We are proud of his achieve-ment
and want to thank him for
his part in helping to make Bethel
a campus of Christian scholarship.
Hamburg Students
Soon To Receive
Boxes from Drive
Winter clothing, the result of
Bethel's clothinW drive for Ger-many,
filled 14 large cardboard
boxes to capacity and began its
long journey to Hamburg over a
month ago with Chicago scheduled
as it's first stop. World Relief
workers agreed to bail the clothing
there and prepare it for compact
over-seas shipment.
The clothing will proceed to
Hamburg from America's East
coast. Bethelites responded readi-ly
when the drive was launched by
the school's Religious Council dur-ing
the first quarter of the school
year. Several local Conference
churches also contributed gar-ments.
The collection was made
primarily to relieve the situation
students of the Baptist Seminary at
Hamburg found themselves facing
with the coming of winter weather
and an insufficient amount of
warm clothing. Mr. Kenneth Nor
quist, representing the conference
in Germany, will take charge of
distributing the clothing.
Eric Frykenberg
Four Bethel Teams
Debate Tomorrow
Four Bethel debate teams will
enter tomorrow's debate tourna-ment
at River Falls Teachers Col-lege.
The tournament is open to
all debaters who have not debated
five regular inter-collegiate debat-es.
Three debate teams engaged in
a round of practice debates with
Hamline University on Thursday,
January 11. The teams debated the
regular inter-collegiate question:
Resolved; that the non-communist
nations should form a new inter-national
union. The debaters were
non decisional, being held for the
purpose of constructive criticism
of the individual speakers only.

Pictured on this page, the five speakers of the week will bring to
campus the impact of five lives in which missions is the major emphasis.
The above schedule indicates the times when each may be heard
throughout the week.
Rev. Sten Lindberg returned to the United States this fall to take
the office of acting foreign missionary secretary of the General Confer-ence
during a leave of absence granted Secretary Walfred Danielson.
He has done his major missionary work in China. Rev Dale Bjork has
been in China since 1947 and only recently returned to the States. Dr.
Eric Frykenberg has labored 15 years in South India and Rev. Bengt
Anderson has had the Semi-Naga tribe as his charge in that country.
Rev. August Berg has served among the primitive Santal people in
Bengal-Orissa India since 1926.
Seeking to demonstrate that
missionary information gained dur-ing
the week can be immediately
put to use at the home base, Mis-sionary
Band members will erect a
display in the library under the
direction of Bill Murray, Seminary
senior. The display will show mis-sionary
information applied to
local church situations through
Sunday School materials, and other
possibilities along that line.
Missionary Band, active in get
ting Missionary Emphasis Week
underway, is assised each year by
the faculty and strongly supported
in its work by the Religious Coun-cil
of Bethel.
"If the equivalent of 78 cents
per student is turned in to the
Band's treasury Friday, Missionary
Band on behalf of the students of
Bethel will be able to present Rev.
Sten Lindberg with a check for
$1500 Monday to be used in Con-ference
missionary work," May-nard
Johnson, Missionary Band
president, stated recently. It will
be necessary for Missionary Band
to cut the student gift to $1,000 if
the additional money does not
come in by Friday, he said.
A.G. Watson To
Address PDG
Next Thursday
On next Thursday, January 25th,
Mr. Albert G. Watson, Midwest
Secretary of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation, will be the speaker
at the Progressive Discussion
Group meeting, beginning at 8:30
P. M. in the seminary lounge. Mr.
Watson's work consists of promot-ing
the Fellowship and its attitud-es
among Colleges and church
groups.
The Fellowship of reconciliation
designates itself as being a Christ-ian
pacifist organization. According
to the pamphlet "That Man May
Live," published by the said organ-ization,
it's purpose is stated in
that its members "refuse to partici-pate
in any war or to sanction
military preparation. The work to
abolish war and to foster good
will among nations, races, and
cl asses."
For this meeting the PDG has
arnounced that all those eligible
for membership into PDG are in-vited
to attend, and that a request
is made that the audience be
prompt.
FREAK ACCIDENT
Charles Ferguson, seminary
student and pastor of the White
Bear Baptist Church, was the
victim of unfortunate circum-stances.
He appeared in school
one day minus a distinguished
looking mustache. It seems his
son, Charles, Jr., was teaching
him how to blow bubbles with
bubble gum.
Freshman Banquet
Planned For Feb. 2
"We Are His Workmen" will be
the theme of the Freshman Ban-quet
to be held Friday, February

Editorial .. .
"Lateities", commonly known as getting
to class late, and "talkities", excessive and
undue talking after the starting bell has
rung, are two diseases that afflict in vary-ing
degrees many Bethel students. The
complaint is that classes are disturbed by
chronic latecomers and that time is wast-ed
by the disrespect shown fellow-students
as well as the instructor, who has to out-shout
the class, sit quietly waiting, or sug-gest
that prayer be offered, in order to
obtain the attention of the class.
The purpose of this article is to bring
this problem to the attention of all stu-dents
in the hope that the students will
give the problem thought, make observa-tions,
and diagnose their own case, which
might lead to the elimination of these dis-eases.
The germ of these diseases is Careless-ness.
Why should we be careless about
promptness and respect for others which
should characterize a Student, to say noth-ing
of a Christian student. Perhaps the
remedy is self-discipline and re-evaluation
of the place respect for others should have
in academic life.
Bethel, as well as all schools, ought to
be a place where the student learns self-discipline
and respect for others. This
might be done by enforcement of rules,
but it is far better that it be done because
it is the precedent set by the students
themselves out of growth as a Christian.
All of us should cooperate at least to the
extent of being honest with ourselves in
diagnosing our case, and then if need be,
take steps to remedy the disease in our-selves.
Then, let's help others get rid of
the disease, which is best done by simply
being an example.
Won't You Give Too?
Are you stingy? Of course not, you say!
Maybe so, but let's define a stingy person.
Isn't it one who keeps something he doesn't
really need, when this little something
could help another person if he had it?
Sounds like a puzzle, doesn't it? But there
are many of us, in the perfect health
which God has given us, who refuse to
give even a pint of our blood so others
may live. Now how do you classify your-self?
Some have volunteered already, but
many more are needed. Each has his own
ideas for giving or not giving blood, but
let's listen to a few of the reasons from
some who have already signed up.
Kenny Gullman: "Once, while at the Red
Cross Blood Bank in St. Paul, I asked the
worker there how the college students
were responding to the call to donate
blood. He told me that a mobile unit was
sent to the colleges that wanted it. He
mentioned Macalester, Hamline, and St.
Thomas, but not Bethel. On the way home,
I was thinking of how easy it is to live
in our own little world at Bethel, and
forget the needs of others. As Christians,
we should do as much, if not more, than
the world does to help those in need."
Irene Kley: "Refusing to give blood is
like refusing to hand a dying person a pill
which would save his life. For giving blood,
a great medicine, causes me no hardship,
but preserves the life of him who receives
it
Professor Larson:: "It is no sacrifice or
inconvenience to me but is a tremendous
help to others. My little boy was saved by
blood transfusions. It is easily done, there
are no effects, and it is really a small
thing for such a big cause."
Ruth Chisholm: "Knowing the urgency
of the need -for blood, I feel that as a
Christian, it is my duty to give my blood.
As Christ shed His blood to save my life,
so I give my blood to save someone else's
life."
For many years, the sight or thought of
blood has carried with it the connotation
of tragedy or death. However, to the Christ-ian
the thought of blood, Christ's blood
carries with it the connotation of life.
abundant life. In another way now in this
day and age, blood can and is thought of
as life-giving. It was a familiar sight dur-ing
combat during the last war and I ima-gine
that it is the same now in Korea, to
see a jeep go by carrying wounded with
a corpsman or a medic administering blood
plasma to the unfortunate men lying on
the stretchers.' If you would look into the
records of hospitals over our land you
would find there undoubtedly the import-ant
part that blood has played in saving
lives of men, women, and children, who
were suffering from disease, wounds as a
result from accidents, and other things.
The blood used at times was usually given,
but in some cases had to be purchased by
the patients.
Now the American Red Cross National
Blood Program is making possible for each
person between the ages of 18 and 60 to
Why did I have to be born into a world
of such utter confusion? The first ten
years of my life I knew nothing but the
dictatorial, tyrannical reign of Hitler and
his Nazi Party. There was none greater or
better than our Fuehrer. I could never
understand why my parents avoided all
possible contact with Nazis. It was all so
strange and confusing. Then came the day
Dad sailed to America. -
Ten months later my mother, brother and
I followed, fleeing for our lives before
Nazi persecution. Halfway out in the Eng-lish
Channel word came to stop the boat.
The Nazis were marching into Austria. The
fear which gripped the hearts of the pas-sengers
in the next few hours cannot be
told. Would we have to turn back and be
put in concentration camps or would we
be allowed to go on? We went on, but
life looked so dark an dismal.
At last came that happy hour when we
sailed into New York Harbor and passed
the Statue of Liberty. As the sun was set-ting
on another day the light in the torch
went on, to us a symbol of new light in
a new world.
This new world was strange indeed with
its skyscrapers, elevateds, and strangest of
all, its abundance of oranges! In Germany

Breaking . into business buying parts for
a Model T Ford and working up to district
manager of a national corporation con-stitutes
the ideal American success story
and the testimony of Mr. Harold Lidbom,
Bethel's director of Christian Activties.
A stockroom job with Gambles, Inc., re-sulted
from numerous contacts with a local
salesman of the corporation in Marquette,
Michigan, from whom he bought parts to
keep the Ford running while Mr. Lidbom
attended Northern State Teachers College.
After three and a half years experience
in the Marquette store, Mr. Lidbom was
appointed manager of Gambles in Atlantic,
Iowa and later transferred to a new cor-poration
store in Des Moines,
After seven and one half years on in-creasing
success in business, managing the
store with the largest sales record in the
organization, Mr. Lidbom was made district
supervisor over twenty-four local stores in
Iowa and later in Northern Michigan, Wis-consin
and Minnesota.
Then, like the disciples called to be
"fishers of men", Harold Lidbom received
a call from the Lord whom he had made
his business partner throughout his career,
to leave a highly remunerative position and
to be a "salesman for God".
donate a pint of blood to be used free
of charge for those needing it, except the
charge by the hospital or physician for
administering it. Blood collected in the
community will be used there as whole
blood or plasma.
Surplus blood will be sent to other areas
where it is needed such as emergency
areas in this country and to our fighting
forces on foreign soil.
Christ said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me." Certainly, the
giving of a pint of blood to this great
program is a wonderful opportunity of
Christian service. We are giving it to some
unfortunate person who is in dire need of
it. We can give this blood as unto
Lord because of our love for Him, and
will be fulfilling the words He spoke.
If God so lays it on your heart be sure
to respond on January26, by taking 45
minutes to go over to the Boys Dormitory
and giving some of your blood, "As unto
the Lord."
I had had only one orange and that was
purchased from a florist.
As soon as we were safely established
here my parents were free to tell me the
truth about the Nazi regime. Until then
I had never been fully aware of the fact
that Dad is of the Hebrew race and so in
part am I. Now I began to realize the
bitterness and irony of being trained to
be a Nazi. They firmly stood against mem-bers
of God's chosen race. Their swastika
stood as the very symbol of anti-Semitism.
During our early years in America I
heard the Gospel for the first time but be-cause
of contrary teachings at home never
accepted its plan of salvation. Oh, the
emptiness of the years that followed! The
pleasures of the world were no strangers
to me.
Again God saw fit that I should hear the
Gospel. A year later, utterly miserable, by
His grace I received faith to believe. Joy
and peace at last were mine. Indeed what
a privilege it is to be not only a child
of the King but also a child of Israel. God
has led me through a world of confusion,
first to Himself and now here to prepare
for His service.
"I sought the Lord and He delivered me
out of all my fears." Psalms 34:4.

Assisting Rev. Ed Nelson in laying the
ground work for God's Invasion Army in
1948, Mr. and Mrs. Lidbom worked as co-directors
in the Army, handling the busi-ness
end of the Army program, as well as
enlisting for 1949 and re-enlisting for 1950
as visitation evangelists, holding meetings,
calling in homes and witnessing to business
men of the Lord whom they loved and
served, and being "Mom" and "Pop" to
all the Army recruits.
In the summer of 1950, Mr. Lidbom was
asked to come to Bethel as Christian Acti-vities
director and head resident of the
men's dormitory. Still "Pop" Lidbom, he
has organized and supervised gospel team
work and is launching a wider field of
activities in student employment from the
campus, having placed over three hundred
students in part-time work this year.
Beloved at Bethel as the man who never
loses his smile, "Pop" Lidbom deserves
every word of the commendation given his
vital Christian testimony by the president
of the Gamble Corporation, "There are
many people who talk a great deal about
doing good, but few people in this world
have the courage to take the action you
are taking."

As we turn into another year and into
another half century, we stand as it were
on tiptoe looking ahead. It's a wonderful
thing to have eyes. .
Some people are blind and some are
deaf—and some are both. But we can see
and we can hear—and what a blessing. We
can look ahead, or try to—and we can
look back.
A great painter portrays: "Their Yester-day."
The girls, like college girls, are as-cending
a stairway that somewhat winds,
and as they climb they turn back and
look back—"Their Yesterdays." Some have
had more yesterdays than others, but for
all of us those days have been crowded
with the Grace of God. And each must
well confess "that nothing I have which
I did not receive."
But the fewer the yesterdays, the more
we strive on tiptoe to look ahead. "Sweet
Sixteen" is not sweet enough and so we
yearn for eighteen, and for more. Samuel
Johnson thought that almost the greatest
poetic lines were those of Pope, when he
speaks of "hill upon hill arising farther
still no matter how one climbs." Life is
rich with 'future and with longing.
"Where leads the road across the hill?
I do not know, I do not know.
I only know I want to go—
I want to go."
And so our eyes are in our forehead so
that we may see the steps we climb—at
least a little way. However, eyes without
light are hopelessly dark, but God has
provided sun and moon and stars to guide
the traveler on.
They tell us that travelers of long, long
ago who journeyed through starless nights,
would have a small lamp attached to the
foot so that they might see at least a step
at a time.
And that reminds us, when we think of
spiritual life, of the words of the psalmist
who speaks of "the Word as a lamp unto
my feet and a light unto my pathway." We
need that in a world of spiritual darkness.
Physical light, and even intellectual light,
does not suffice.
"Not of the sunlight, not of the moon-light,
not of the starlight, but a light that
never yet was seen on sea or land"—we
need. And we seek and we find it in Him,
Who said: "I am this dark world's light."
May He flood our minds and our hearts
in the year ahead.
Does It Count?
by Henry Nelson
It is an interesting scene to see scores
of students busy working in the library.
As you look from one to another you can
see they simply are captivated by the
books which they are reading or are en-tirely
bored with the situation. Many must
be given for credit for the determination
with which they begin, but many are lost
by the wayside due to the inability to
cope with the situation.
The attitude of mind with which we en-deavor
to accumulate facts will largely
determine the net results. It is useless to
tackle a problem with a mediocre attitude
and expect great results. That is compar-able
to going fishing with a hook on
the end of the line and expecting to get
a bite. Someone has said that the accumula-tion
of knowledge is 99% presperation and
1% inspiration. In almost every field of en-deavorment,
this fact is true.
The net results of this atitude of mind
will largely determine the future course
of life. It is foolish to think that anyone
will receive and maintain a position for
which he or she is not fully equipped or
qualified. This is true in the business
world and can be illustrated by many ex-periences.
Such as the first question asked
on a questionaire given by a great banking
concern—"Are you a college graduate?" It
it is legitimate for the world to demand
such high standards, then the student pre-paring
for Christian service should be eq-ually
qualified. This will demand of us a
conscious attitude of mind, centered in the
direction of the goal of Christ, an motivat-ed
by the need which exists in the world.
In the many hours which have been spent
within the library, can we truthfully say
that they have been spent with the correct
attitude of mind: Disciplining ourselves
in this activity now will enable us to be
of greater use to the Lord. Let's make the
hours in the library count for Him.

Bethel Adds to Make A Date-Save A Life
Office Staff
IVAR Meet the Blood Mobile MAN OF GOD — MR
Infirmary Available As
Health Program Expands
Up until this school year the campus health service available to
students was a dispensary where minor medications were made under
the direction of a trained nurse. These facilities were realized to be
inadequate and the school administration set up a Health Service
Committee under the direction of Mr. Elving Anderson, to take definite
steps in presenting better health service to the students.
As stated by Mr. Anderson, the primary purpose of the health
service is to prevent the spread of disease. The biggest benefit of the
health service then is one that is least recognizable, namely, to pre-vent
the student from getting someone else's disease, from contracting
a disease, or from the danger of the disease from becoming serious.
Everyone in school benefits in this way then, whether on campus or
off campus, whether you have health insurance or not, or whether you
have a local doctor or not.
This year an Infirmary was added to the dispensary where patients
can be hospitalized for two days per quarter without expense except
for meals. After two days a fee of one dollar per day is charged the
patient. Since the opening of school not over twenty dollars has been
charged extra.
The health service also pays the expense of Tuberculosis X-rays for
the students. Just this past week flu shots were made available to each
student, which was a part of the health service.
The health program is not yet complete. An attempt has been
made to have a doctor on the campus during certain hours of the
week for consultation and to examine patients. This will help carry
out another purpose of the health service which is to offer health edu-cation
in matters of personal hygiene and consultation concerning
health problems.
At the beginning of the school year the Health Service Committee
realized that the program would need revision and addition. They
are facing each problem as it arises. Student opinion and suggestion
is a source of aid in directing the program to meet the student needs.
At a meeting of the Health Service Committee last January 4th,
revisions and additions were made. Use of the infirmary was extended
to two days per quarter without cost instead of one day per quarter.
Until a physician is available at the dispensary fees up to fifteen
dollars per year per student will be paid from the health fund for
visits made_ to a doctor if the appointment for that visit is made by
the school nurse. Eye examination and dental care will not be included.
To assure that a reasonable advancement in the health service
can be maintained without restriction, students are charged three
dollars per quarter. The largest expenditure of the fund is the main-tainance
of trained nurses. When Bethel only had a dispensary it was
just necessary that a school nurse be "on call". With the addition
of an infirmary it is necessary that the nurse be "on duty" during
certain hours. Pay for the nurses "on duty" is considerably more than
when they are only "on call". The dispensary must also be stocked with
an adequate amount of medical supplies and equipment. When a doctor
is made available, his salary will be paid from the health fund.
In the period of September to December the total visits made to
the dispensary was 556 for an average of 4.5 per day. Twenty-six stu-students
were admitted to the infirmary for a total of 66 days, (exclud-ing
one stay of about 30 days).
The dispenasry is in room 131 of Bodien residence, and the school
nurse can be consulted between the hours of 10:30 A. M. to 5:30 P. M.,
Mondays through Fridays, and on Saturdays between 10:00 A.M. and 2:00
P. M. For emergency care at other hours the school nurse can be
located by contacting the switchboard. Visiting hours in the infirmary
are weekdays-3:30-4:30P.M., and 7:30-8:30 P. M.
Faculty and staff members and their families, as well as families
of students, are not entitled to dispensary care or the services of the
nurse except in emergencies where a private physician cannot be con-sulted
promptly.

Preparations for the third annual Prospective Students' Days are
under way. Started as a means of acquainting our high school young
people with Bethel Campus, this is rapidly becoming a tradition of the
school. This year, in addition to inviting high school seniors and
graduates, plus some juniors, we are inviting college personnel who
are anticipating seminary work. The overall purpose of the days is
to acquaint all prospective students, within a reasonable travelling
distance, with the academic, spiritual and social life of Bethel. The
dates are March 15 and 16.
A NEW CONSTITUTION
Now that Bethel has grown into a Senior College, and since the
constitution of the Student Association has not been revised for several
years to fit the new situation, a committee of twelve members plus a
faculty advisor has been chosen to survey the needs and draw up a
new constitution, which upon completion will be submitted to the
entire student body for approval. The members of this committee are:
Russell Johnson, chairman, Phil McLain, Clifford E. Anderson, Marjorie
Ford, Florence Nordstrom, Elna Winterstein, Maynard Johnson, Ruth
Haglund, Eleanor Johnson, Bob Frykenberg, James Rentz, and Albert
Windham with Prof. Walfred Peterson as faculty advisor.
A SKATING RINK
Althought a trifle late this year, work is continuing on the skating
rink with the hope that it will be complete by the time this issue
of the Clarion is in your hands. Hence, take your skates in hand,
cross Arlington south of the girl's dorm and scale the huge snow
bank confronting you. On the other side will be the skating rink.

"THE BEST DATE YOU EVER HAD! A DATE TO SAVE A L11..E-is
yours if you wish it. THE NEED IS URGENT! Next Friday, January
26th, the Red Cross Bloodmobile unit will visit the campus to receive
much needed blood donations from volunteers among the students and
faculty.
Registration for blood donors can now be made in the business
office in the college building. The hours available are between 9:00
A. M. and 4:00 P. M., next Friday in the recreation room of the boy's
dormitory and will take approximately 45 minutes for each donor.
To be eligible to donate blood
you must be between the ages of
18 and 60, and if you are under
21, you must have a parental re-lease
slip signed by your parents.
Such slips are procurable in the
business office and are to be turn-ed
in at the time of registration.
Under no condition will blood be
taken from a minor without the
required signature of the parents.
In pointing out the physical ef-fect
of donation of a pint of blood
•the Red Cross bulletin sent to the
school reads as follows: "Donating
a pint of your blood is no harder
on you than the exercise involved
in a game of tennis, a long hike,
or a swim".
As to the need for blood the
bulletin stated that "The blood
given by students and faculty is
supplied to U. S. Military Install-ations
at home and abroad and to
the local and state hospitals.
Whole Blood is being sent each
day, to Korea, from the St. Paul
Regional Blood Center. MORE
BLOOD FOR OUR ARMED FOR-CES
IS A VITAL NEED!"
Concerning the diet of the blood
donor the bulletin advises "Avoid
eating milk and eggs or heavy
fatty foods for four hours prior
to donation, but you may have
a light, starchy meal and fruit
four hours before donation." Ones
medical history must be flee from
Undulant Fever, Jaundice, and
Malaria.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile has
reported that they would like to
anticipate at least seventy-five vol-unteers
from Bethel campus.

ANDERSON
"...Nevertheless I live; yet not
I but Christ liveth in me..." and
since that day in his youth when
he dedicated his life to God, Mr.
Ivar Anderson has lived a life in
complete submission to His will
and has taken as his life verse
Galatians 2:20. Mr. Anderson en-rolled
at Bethel Academy to pre
pare for his life's work and grad-uated
in 1929 as valedictorian of
his class. He continued his studies
at the Seminary and a few months
following his graduation from the
Seminary, he and Elvira Wik were
married in July, 1932.
Together they went to Michigan
to do mission work and to serve in
various pastorates. In the years of
1946 and 1947 they were confer-ence
missionaries throughout lower
Michigan and then the Lord led
them to Curtis and Victory, Mich-igan,
to start missions and there
they remained until recently.
Mr. Anderson is strictly a family
man. As much of his spare time
as possible is spent enjoying the
fellowship that he and his wife
and their three children have to-gether.
Consequently, his hobbies
are limited but he does manage to
claim stamp-collecting and reading
of religious books as his favorites.
At present he is sharing a room
at the Seminary dorm with the
"Two Dwights" but as soon as his
family arrives from Ludington,
Michigan, they will reside at 693
York Avenue.
CLUBS
The German Club held its regu-lar
meeting Tuesday morning, Jan-uary
16, at eleven-twenty o'clock
in the lounge of the girls' dormi-tory.
The guest speaker was Rev. E.
L. Golonko, who spoke on Ger-many
and related some of the ex-periences
he had during the years
he lived there.
Following the meeting, the mem-bers
of the club had lunch to-gether
in the dining hall.
Tobogganning Rules
Each year there seem to be
sonic serious accidents on student
toboggan parties (official and un-official).
These have resulted in
long periods of hospitalization and
a considerable expense. Of course,
after the first accident of the year
everyone becomes careful, but
wouldn't it be good this year to
take some steps to try to prevent
such accidents?
The following is a list of safe-guards
while toboganning. Sent
out by Mr. Anderson's office:
1. Always kneel, never sit. Our
spinal columns aren't made for
such severe jolts.
2. The head person on each to-bogann
must be one who
knows how to steer.
3. Don't attempt difficult or un-known
hills. Trees, stumps,
and drop-offs can cause trou-ble.
4. Someone in the party must
know the first aid principles
for dealing with broken backs.
In case of injury, don't ever
get the person up on his feet
until you're sure there's no
back or neck injury.

Bethel Cagers Invade Eveleth and Itasca
Gymnasts Give
Successful Act
Bethel gymnasts are scheduling
appointments for their ladder act
of 1951. The act is the same as
seen last year in its debut, but the
personnel is almost 100 per cent
new.
The initial performance for this
season was given at the Minnea-polis
Laker-New York professional
basketball game. This perfor-mance
is now added to the gym-nasts
previous appearances at the
St. Paul professional hockey game,
city high school basketball games,
the Private School basketball tour-nament
as well as numerous other
engagements.
This year once again, the gym-nast
will be appearing at the an-nual
coffee cup game also.
The felows in the ladder act in-clude:
Cliff Vennerstrom, Ed Vir-en,
Cal Anderson, Dwight Johnson,
George Martens, Dick Lovell, Rog-er
Jacobson, Carl Lechler, and Carl
Peterson. Marlin Nelson is the di-rector.
PingPongTourney
Set For I M Teams
The 1951 All School Ping Pong
Tournament is currently being set
up by Don Dye, Intramural chair-man.
The tournament is open to
any of the student body and any-one
wishing to compete need only
sign his name to the paper on the
bulletin board in the basement
outside of the gym. Competition
is open in both men's and wo-men's
singles and also in men's
and women's doubles.
Meanwhile the basketball sched-ule
for the first round is nearing
completion. West remains unbeat-en
in their five games and have
now rolled up a total of 94 game
points in all competition. Illinois
continues in second place.

Scoring sweet revenge for an
earlier one point loss, the Bethel
cagers knocked off Northwestern
School, 63-56. Northwestern's gym
was the scene of action on the
twelfth of January.
Art Hage carried off all scoring
honors of the evening with 21
points. Hage counted on ten bas-kets
and a lone free throw. De-pendable
_ Bud __Pierce __followed
closely with 18 and Ralph Martin,
looking fine with his smooth ball
handling, scored 10 points.
The first quarter found the Indi-ans
behind as Johnson and Habich
poured in a barrage of field goals
for NW. Getting up steam in the
second quarter, the Re d m e n
brought the count to within two
points at halftime, 34-32.
At this point, Hage personally
conducted Bethel on a scoring
surge, but Northwestern matched
the Indians point for point and
still led at three-quarters, 48-45.
Then in the final period, Bethel
tossed eight shots through while
NW slowed up with only three
field goals. As the contest ended,
the Indians appeared to be getting
continually stronger and claimed
the victory by seven points.

Running into a well-coached five
from Eveleth, Minnesota, Bethel
dropped a 69-47 decision on Janu-ary
10. The game was played as a
preliminary to the Lakers on the
Minneapolis Auditorium floor.
The local five were definitely
off in their shooting in the first
half as they dropped only five of
thirty-one shots through the hoops.
Meanwhile the northern team was
connecting on fifteen in thirty-eight
tries.
Bud Pierce experienced an off
night, the first such night for him
in quite a number of games over
two seasons. He scored eight, all
in the final half. Pete Unruh
attempted to carry the load and
did well in tallying 17, but it was-n't
enough to offset the other
team's score. Bob Carlson earned
secondary honors with 13 points.
For Eveleth, John Burger was
the star of the show as he poured
22 points into the basket, most of
them long, two hand overhead
shots. Skalko and Simela aided
the cause with 13 and 12 respect-ively.
It marked the Indians fifth de-feat
in six games, while Eveleth
was scoring their sixth straight
against only one loss.
B Squad Routs N. W.
To Seek Fourth Win
Challking up three wins and
three losses is the record of the Be-thel
"B" squad thus far this sea-son.
The team dropped decisions
to Luther, and Superior, before
coming through to defeat North-western
33-31 early in December.
Lowrey Avenue Baptist of Minne-apolis
was edged in a thriller,
34-33.
Calvary squeaked by the squad
36-34 just before Christmas vaca-tion
and in their latest conquest
the B squad romped over North-western
45-25.
The starting five for the B squad
presently is Chuck Lindgren at
center, Harry and Ron Nelson at
forwards and Cliff Pals and Wayne
Thompson at the guard positions.
Others on the squad are Don spratt
and Dean Stromwell.
The B squad usually plays its
games in preliminaries to the var-sity
games. The home games begin
at 6:30 at Minnehaha.

The Eveleth five are led by hot
shooting John Burge who scored
22 points against Bethel in the ini-tial
game between the two here in
the Twin Cities.
Next week on Saturday, the Red-men
will be off on a trip to Coler-aine,
Minesota where they will en-gage
Itasca JC for the second time
this season. __The local cagers
knocked off the range city team
before Christmas in their first win
of the season. Expecting trouble in
the Vikings, the Indians will at-tempt
to throtle a well-organized
offensive.
After these two contests, Bethel
returns home for an encounter at
the Minnehaha gym with Concordia
of St. Paul on January 30. Last
year, the Indians whipped the corn-ets
twice. Then once again the cag-esrs
hit the road, this time for
Ashland, Wisconsin, where they
will engage Northland College in
a return battle. The Bethel five
expects an easier time on the
Northland court than they had at
home because the Wisconsin team
has since lost four of their starters
to the armed forces.

Two long trips dominate the immediate future schedule of the
cagers. On Friday, January 19, (tonight), the Indians take on Eveleth
there in an attempt to gain revenge forthe licking which Eveleth admin-istered
here January 10. The Bethel five will beafter their third victory
in eight starts against the powerful northern crew which has lost only
Indian Quintet Gains Split; one game, that to powerful Hibbing JC.

Thanks to the student body, faculty and any others who turned
out so loyally on January 10 to support Bethel in their Laker prelimin-ary
against Eveleth. It was good to see so many at the game even
though the representation did look very small in the large auditorium.
Thanks also to the gymnasts for their very fine performance between
halves of both games. I certainly enjoyed announcing the act on the
public address system.
The annual Coffee Cup game is to be played this year on March 6,
Tuesday evening in the Bethel gym. For those of you who have never
witnessed the spectacle, let me tell you it is definitely one of the
"musts" of the school year. The faculty (now in training) takes on a
group of fellows selected from the college. After a hard fought
first half, the teams drop to the floor and are revived through the
serving of coffe—thus the name coffee cup game. There will also be
a preliminary game composed probably of a team from the seminary and
the intramural champs. Plan now not to miss this outstanding sports
event right here on the campus.
