Prayer Group
Views Field
Of Bolivia
Bolivian missionary Carl Winter-steen,
who has been visiting his
daughter, Elna, on campus, pre-sented
a short talk and showed
colored slides of his work in Boli-via
to the missionary prayer group
Tuesday night, Oct. 3.
Rev. Wintersteen, in a later in-terview,
emphasized that the great-est
need today is for teachers and
instructors rather than for evan-gelists
on- the -Bolivia mission
field. He advised students, "As
redeemed, 'bought' ones, it be-hooves
us to keep in mind that
we are not our own at any period
or for any length of time. We are
His, to be witnesses of His saving,
keping power to others unto the
uttermost parts. If all Christians
today were to so live, the world
could be evangelized in our gen-eration."
Rev. Wintersteen and his wife
plan to return in the spring to
the field where they have labored
for the past twenty nine years un-der
the Bolivian Indian Mission.
For, the last five year Mr. Winter-steen
has taught in the Spanish
Bible Institute, which he organi-zed
in Cochbamba, Bolivia. The
Wintersteens are members of the
Baldwin Heights Baptist Church,
Los Angeles.

Alumni To Choose
Award Winners
In Two Contests
Competition for the dorm dec-oration
award will cease at 5 P. M.
today when five Bethel Alumni
are to decide on the decoration
winner. President Wingblade will
present the plaque tonight during
the Homecoming program.
Between halves at the football
game, Saturday, President Wing-blade
will award a trophy to the
club producing the winning float.
Organizational spending was limi-ted
to $5.00 per entry. The floats
will be judged on originality, in-genuity
and appearance. Alumni
will be elected as judges.
Dormitory displays, already
apparent on campus, took an aver-age
of 5 full days of labor to pro-duce,
plus an estimated $25.00 a-piece.
While members of the
men's dormitory pressed fresh-man,
Jack Jensen's artistic temp-erment
into service and worked
rapidly with paper mache and
chicken wire, the girls were
achieving results with lumber, but-cher
paper and house paint.
Junior Class Skit
Tells of Chinese
And His Struggles
Centering around the struggles
of a Chinese Christian, the junior
class skit will prepare its audience
for Missionary Dale Bljork's mess-age
in the college chapel later
tonight.
Written and directed by Mrs.
Quentin Bohne, the skit sets forth
the actual experiences of a Chin-ese
convert who slipped for a time
from his walk of faith. In a narra-tive
manner it deals with his re-turn
to the upward path.
Those having parts in the skit
are:Charlotte Ransom, Tom Per-sson,
Nettie, Dvirnak, Wilbur Mad- -
sen, Jack Nelson and Charles
Purdy.
The skit is part of the Home-coming
program to be given this
evening to entertain the Alumni.
Mrs. Quentin Bohne wrote the
three act presentation, "Coming or
Going?", given by last year's jun-ior
class during Homecoming festi-vities.
She is an alumni of Bethel
College.
Book by Ramm
Now In Print
Dr. Bernard Ramm's new book,
"Protestant__ Biblical__ Interpreta-tion"
is now in print. It is pub-lished
by the Wilde Company of
Boston, and retails at $1.75.
Protestant Biblical Interpreta-tion
is a text book dealing with
the rules and principles of inter-pretation
of the Bible. Of special
interest are the sections on the
Catholic, the Liberal, and the Neo-orthodox
systems of interpreta-tion
of the Scriptures. In theologi-cal
circles, one would say this
was a text book on Hermaneutics.
Dr. Ramm will use this book
as a text book in the Seminary
course in Hermaneutics.
The hall was attractively decor-ated
in yellow, green and brown.
The color scheme was also carried
out in the refreshments, cake
frosting accenting this theme. The
decoration committee was headed
by Barbara Port and Shirley Chris-tenson
was chairman of the food
committee.• Vicky Balcom had
charge of the advertising. Lois
Mitchell was pianist.

Editorial .
Some of the Alumni have probably at-tended
'homecoming quite regularly since
you were a Bethel student and therefore
the impact of changes on the campus is
not too forceful but is rather taken as
matter of fact. But the majority of you
come back once in a number of years and
you are the ones that will clearly define the
changes that have taken place. No doubt
`change' struck you in the face the moment
you set foot on the old stamping ground.
Unquestionably progress has been made
on campus within just recent years. Build-ings
have been erected, we have become
a senior college, the academic program has
been broadened, departments of the coll-ege
and seminary have been strengthened
with more faculty members, and many con-structive
activities have been innaugurated
by the student body. Yet, the whole story
of progress is not told alone by a new
building, by becoming a four year college,
by hiring another teacher, or by adding
another activity.
All these evidences of progress that we
now see are ends of dreams of those who
have been interested in Bethel throughout
the years. I believe that in every day that
has gone by since Bethel was born some
action took place that had a part in giving
Bethel another building, another teacher,
another course, or another activity.
Whether it has been the prayers of the
f aithful, the tithes of many, or joys of a
ground breaking ceremony, all have been
a part in causing us to say today, "What
a change".
This past week, Mr. Wyman Malmsten,
assistant to President Wingblade, made a
public announcement to the student body
that by next spring the construction of the
administration and chapel wings to the
library will begin as well as the building
of an athletic field house. When I heard
this, I checked myself so as not to say
that at last progress has been made in this
direction. I realized that most of the pro-gress
has been made already, and that
these new buildings will be markers that
will only confirm that progress has been
made.

"One, two, one, two!" The steady drone
of the coach's voice came drifting through
my window, and my finite brain, unable
to concentrate on more than one subject,
gave up Charlemagne in despair, and suc-cumbed
to the present raucous that was
making history.
Yes, our team (those fellas who can't
even touch the ground without bending
their knees) was making history, for on the
field they show the skill that comes only
from the constant and vigorous training
of Coach Lynn Lundeen.
Bethel is proud of having the "youngest
coach in the business" as television station
KSTP put it, October 3, on the 10 p.m.
news. The announcer stated, "—that the
Bethel Indians had gained 'national recog-nition'"
because of our fine coach.
Words alone do not make television, so
a movie taken of the campus especially
sizing football practice was televised.
red Coach Lundeen talking with
ins, Ronald Skoog and John Viren,
also showed, in the brief minute it
lasted, the Indians themselves doing calis-thenics.
This week-end is Homecoming, so let's
show our team that we are behind them
a hundred per-cent by cheering them on
to victory.
It's a real privilege for the Bethel Alum-ni
Association, the student body and the
faculty to welcome back to the campus
former students and grads of Bethel.
In this great homecoming gathering are
alumni who have studied in our Seminary,
the Academy, the Bible and Missionary
Training department, the Junior College
and the Senior College. As we welcome
you back to Bethel we are mindful of the
two thousand thre hundred other alumni
What would you think if you came upon
a girl sitting by her window, notebook and
pencil in hand, eyes glued to a little can
of dirt on her window sill and her face
alight with anticipation.?
That's what I thought, too, so I started
to leave very cautiously when she scream-ed,
"Oh, look! Just look what's happening!"
I picked myself up from the floor where
I had fallen in my first serge of fear, and
went to her.
"Look!" she was still screaming, "my
bean is just breaking through the soil!"
By this time I was sure she meant her
bean, and would've run, only she grabbed
me and said, "Can't you see it? It's my
bean!"
I threw off my fear, pushed her into a
chair, and told her to explain things to
me in short, coherent words.
"See that can?" she said. "Well in there
lies a precious bean seed. I've been waiting
and waiting and it finally broke through.
Come, she said, "I'll show you some more
beans."
I went with GLORIS SWANBERG down
the hall. BEV NIBERG let us in and wailed
when we asked about her bean, "Oh, I'm
afraid my little bean won't grow ... I've
treated them so badly. First I drowned
them, then I left them on the radiator
overnight and then I froze them, I'm sure."
At MAE LUNDBLAD'S we found a little
better results. Mae was hard at work writ-ing
a diary of an inch long bean.
ANN LARSON was very apologetic. "No,
my beans haven't grown," she replied,
"maybe it's because I dig them up every
night!"
with whom the association is in contact
through the mails. Though scattered unto
the far reaches of the world we are one
fellowship thanking God for the abiding
influence of Bethel upon our lives.
Welcome alumni! We are really glad you
are here.
In behalf of the Bethel Alumni
Association
Bill Tapper, President.
HELEN PETERSON declares hers are
resistant to colds. Sorheone poured Vicks
drops in them!
The next day I had almost forgotten
about the bean incident'when I came upon
two fellows fighting. All I could hear was
"Mine's taller than your—" "No, it isn't.
Mine's taller!"
Suddenly ARNOLD REDIER came along
and parted them. "Now, now fellows, let's
do this the fair way. We'll measure." He
drew a ruler from his pocket and marched
triumphantly to the place where the beans
were growing.
BURTON BLAIR went off dejectedly
having found out that BOB SHOEMA-KER'S
beans were 1/16 of an inch taller
than his. Burton joined SHIRLEY ADAM-SON
who felt bad that hers which had
been planted for a week hadn't come up
yet. By this time I was worried for the
sanity of the freshmen. I decided to see
Prof. Sanders to get an explanation.
In the room I saw a bean plant about
8 inches tall. To me, this was no less than
a miracle! After talking to Prof. Sanders
for a few minutes I found out that the
whole thing could be reasonably explained.
It was a biological experiment in which
students observed and recorded the growth
of their plant.
Just then MARY LOU CARLSON dashed
past me, exclaiming, "Just look! My bean is
breaking through the soil!"
Holding my head in despair, I deter-mined
to go home, take an aspirin, and
plant myself a bean.

Someone has said that God has given us
memories that we might have roses in
January, but memories can also bring us
winter's piercing blast—in June. It all de-pends
on how we have built the past into
our lives.
Childhood memories are usually precious
and can become a blessing. They warm the
heart and make the tears to well up—the
thought of them makes us better men and
women.
School days are proverbially happy days.
Of course there were problems and troub-les
and worries—but as we look back, how
comparatively small they sem.
A graduate of Harvard, visiting his nep-hew
who was occupying the same dormi-tory
room as he had done, pointed out to
the younger man some of the earmarks
he had left in that room. The older man
said to his nephew: "When I was here, I
thought I had many burdens and cares,
but as I look back on it all, those years
seem 'like a vista of autumn threes.' "
Well—this week is Homecoming at Beth-el,
and we welcome heartily every old
grad and former student. Many things will
remind you of other days and we trust that
you will se in the Bethel of today a school
that is not standing still but one going
forward in every way.
May you have a wonderful heart warm-ing
fellowship these days and may the
glow of youthful campus faces around you,
cheer you, and send you back to your
daily ministrations with brighter hopes
and greater joy.
Also may we count on your continued
loyalty to back up Bethel and to help
make it what the Lord truly would have
our school to be.
Swedish Student Views
Church, School, Youth
by Ingemar Gallmer
One coming to a foreign country for the
first time is impressed by many things,
and it takes a little time before one is able
to think clearly about these impressions.
As a Christian, interested in the Christian's
place in life, I will try to express a few of
my impressions of three Christian Insti-tutions.
(1) The Church, (2) Christian
Young Peoples' Work, and (3) Christian
Schools. Since most of my life has been
spent within the Baptist General Confer-ence,
my observations will be based upon
what I know about this phase of Christian
life. I wish to state that I am very thank-ful
for the opportunity to observe the Bapt-ists
of the General Conference in action
in different sections of the country.
With regard to the Church, I want to
say that I am very impressed by three
things. First of all, by the good attendance
to the services, which do not only include
Sunday evening services, but others as
well. I feel that good attendance is a sign
of spiritual health. I also like the inspir-ing
way in which the song service in con-ducted,
and also by the way the invitation
is given at the closing moments of the
service. At these times I have felt a chall-enge
to renew my fellowship with God.
Concerning Young People's work, I have
been very impressed, although the oppor-tunity
to observe this does not often pre-sent
itself. To me, the Sunday School in
this country is an important branch of
Christian work. It is a real encouragement
to see so many adults as well as children
participating in the Sunday School. I feel
that adults need continued teaching in the
Word of God in addition to making a good
influence upon the children in attendance.
Another interesting phase in working with
young people was observed by attending
Bible Camps.
Finally, with regard to Christian schools,
although my experiences in this matter
are limited to my coming to Bethel College
and Seminary, thus far I have had only
wonderful experiences in our school. I am
pleased with the way in which instruction
in classes is presented with a view toward
spiritual standards. My time spent at Beth-el
will be all too short, and I wish to make
use of every opportunity, as I know this
year wil be one of the most important ones
in my life.
How to Develop a Bean
And Pass Mid-quarter Exams
by Marty
Nature Speaks About Homecoming
by Dave Carlson
Ah, what a show of bright colors and contrasting patterns are the products of
nature during these lazy and inviting Indian summer days. It was this lure for vivid
pageantry which drew my thoughts out the window and into the natural rural ampi-theater
of Minnesota's land of ten thousand lakes. Before long my body had followed
suit and 1 was sitting on the shores of exclusive Lake Johanna musing .. far from
studies, committees and stuffy classrooms.
Lying on my back and gazing through a hole between the trees lined with many-colored
leaves of various shapes, I watched the fleecy clouds drift by in tempo with
my equally lazy thoughts. However, my meditation was soon interrupted at the sound
of whispering voices somewhere in the vicinity. I looked around to see who was
invading my private daydream domain but seeing no one I returned to my prone
position with a sigh.
My solitude was short-lived, however, as I again heard the faint voices. This time
I remained relaxed and reposed only to find that my visitors were the blades of
grass, waving tree branches and rustling leaves against a background of sky blue
waters lapping the pebbled shore of the lake. I realized, of course, that eavesdropping
is a social evil but I yielded to temptation ....
"Today I would like to be floating around the Bethel campus", sighed one maple
leaf to another, "and joining in the festivities as the students greet the Alumni.
There's such a friendly atmosphere that pervades the whole campus. Sure, the grads
may have gray hair or no hair, perhaps the girls of '31 wouldn't stand a chance in a
beauty contest but when they all get together around the coffee cup at Bethel, every-one
is 'at home'."
"And I would like to be part of the carpet providing a cushion for the football
boys as they romp to victory over Ashland tomorrow," offered a brave blade of grass
in conversation with her neighbor. "I might suffer a few bruises but I would consider
it an honor to do my part in the Homecoming activities to that extent." The sister
blade concurred and there was a murmur of approval as every blade of whispering
grass joined in wishing they were fortunate enough to be part of the sod at High-land
stadium.
The waving branches seemed to be leading the leaves and grass in cheers for
good old Bethel and I felt a warm glow envelope me as I realized I was among friends.
All nature joined in saluting Bethel!
Strange? Perhaps. But before I made my way back down Snelling to my next
class I had realized that just as I had felt "at home" out in God's universe, so I felt
"at home" at Bethel .... the house of God. We, as students, welcome all the return-ing
alumni to our campus and sincerely hope that you will feel that you have come
home this week-end. Among the many memories which will return to you we trust
that you will remember Bethel as the "house of God" ... the home of many spiritual
memories of your days on campus.

will probably be surpassed by
$300 due to more advertising
space. Alan Olsson, Bailey Ander-son,
Wilbur Madsen and Nettie
Dvirnak are staff advertising sales-men.

Presents Paper Dealing With
Business Research Problems
by Henry Nelson
Recently, when most of the students had their faces buried in text
books, the head of Bethel's History Department, Dr. Reynold Wik, took
a trip to Madison, Wisconsin. The importance of this journey was not
the leisure obtained from such a trip, but the Fourteenth Annual Meet-ing
of the Society of American Archivists.
Dr. Wik appeared on the program October 9th reading his paper
"Adventures with Business Records: Vanishing Archives." The valu-able
material presented dealt with many of the problems facing histor-ians
who do research work in the business correspondence of large
corporations. The importance of Industrial Archival Collections, and the
techniques which might be used in discovering these materials re-ceived
special emphasis. The problem involved is basically two-fold:
(1) that of finding the documents—"the detective work," and (2) that
of obtaining permission to use the discovered material.
The suggestions given by Dr. Wik were based largely on his research
experiences. During the last four years, he has searchd through many
long neglected trunks and files in dusty attics, basement vaults, and
warehouses of such well-known companies as Allis Chalmers, J. I.
Case, International Harvester, Caterpillar, and the Ford Motor Company.
Last summer alone, he traveled through 12 mid-western states seeking
additional information on the gen-eral
subject of the "Utilization of
Power in American Agriculture."
In Dr. Wik's possession are 10,-
000 letters which he recently ob-tained
from a man's garage in
Peoria, Illinois. Many of these are
kept within files and boxes loca-ted
at his office in the Library
building.
Obtaining a position on this pro-
- gram is a significant honor for
both Dr. R. Wik and Bethel Coll-ege.
These positions are coveted
by all within educational circles.
Among the personages to appear
with Dr. Wik were W. W. Sweet
of Southern Methodist University,
Dallas, Texas, who is the leading
Religious historian of America;
Philip C. Brooks of the National
Archives, Washington, D. C.; and
others too numerous to mention.

Spire Staff Gets Underway
To Meet May 1st Deadline
Progress is being made in publishing the 1951 SPIRE according to
schedule
The staff has been selected and most of the decisions as to photo-graphy,
publisher, cover design and general layout have been made,
according to Dave Carlson, editor.
Lakeland Color Press of Brainerd and Revere Advertising Company
of Minneapolis have been given the contract for printing the SPIRE
and Amithcraft Company of Chicago is making the dark green and
gold cover which will feature a new school seal.
Deadlines have been set which, if met, will result in delivery of the
1951 SPIRE by May 1. This will give the students sufficient time to
"pass their books around for signatures besides giving the staff time
to study for final exams", said Dave Carlson.
Assisting Gloria Swanberg in the
layout and design department are
Lois Redin, Lois Mitchell, Florence
Nordstrom, Carol Dubuque, Janet
Odean, Jo Ann Johnson, Audrey
Samuelson, Mary Quernemoen and
Cliff Smith. Preliminary layouts
are in the process of being drawn
up and should be completed by
the end of the quarter, thus set-ting
a new record for finished
layout work.

Get Acquainted
At Alexis Social
Problems of interest to Christ-ian
students, both in seminary and
in the college will be discussed
in future Alexis meetings.
Oliver Omanson invited all sem-inary
and pre-seminary students
to attend these monthly meetings
when he presented the purpose of
the Alexis Society at the first
meeting of the year, Oct. 3.
Alexis departed from its typical
literary discussion meeting to hold
a social get-acquainted party that
evening. Activities centered about
informal games and fellowship
with the purpose of welcoming
new students and faculty members
and acquainting them with each
other and the club.
In a short program preceding the
social hour, Herman van Arsdale
led the devotional study, followed
by a vocal solo by 011ie Mae Land-en
and an impromptu male quar-tet,
featuring Dean Edwin Omark,
William Murray, Dave Carlson and
Phil McLain, with piano accomp-animent
by Jim Rehnberg.

The gridders have gone through three of their six games for the
season and now come up to the Homecoming game with two wins and
one loss. The two wins were both impressive. In the Rochester game,
the line looked very good in smashing Yellowjacket scoring attempts.
In the Ely contest, the line looked very good, keeping the Ironmen
from even getting inside the Bethel 45 yard line! Of course anyone
knows of the feats of the great backfield this year.

Bethel's popular young coach, Lyn Lundeen, was featured on the St.
Paul Dispatch sports page some weeks ago as the "youngest college
coach" through the publicity work of the writer of this column. Radio
station KSTP noticed the article and sent out a crew to take pictures
of Lundeen and the team and they appeared on television not too long
ago. Nice going Lyn! That's really being in the spotlight.

Bethel Seeks Homecoming Victory
Five Men Score In
40-0 Rout of Ely
Flashing a brilliant offensive
offensive attack before a dazed
Ely eleven, Bethel romped home
a 40-0 winner at Highland Stadium
on October 7.
With five men sharing in the
scoring, the Indians just couldn't
be stopped in their smashing runs,
passes, plunges, and overall brilli-ant
play.
Frederichs Opens Scoring
Duke Frederichs opened the
scoring in the first period when
he grabbed a fumble in mid air
on the Ely two yard line, and
dashed over. Just before this play,
Bethel had lost the ball on downs
after smashing to the Lumber-jacks
one yard line.
Next Dick Chadderdon grabbed
a beautiful spiral from Bob Schu-macher
and dashed thirty four
yards over the goal. The entire
play covered 63 yards. Then Schu-macher
reeled off a 19 yard run
for -another TD and Chadderdon
kicked the extra point to make
the half time score 19-0.
83 Yard Runback By Skoog.
Ron Skoog, quarterback started
the second half in sensational
fashion as he took the opening
kickoff 83 yards down the side-lines
to give Bethel its fourth
marker.
Climaxing a third period 43 yard
drive, Don Spratt dashed 19 yards
for still another Bethel score.
After Ray Brace recovered a fum-ble
in the end zone to score two
points, Schumacher again crossed
the goal line to wind up the scor-ing.
His run covered 53 yards.
John Viren added the extra point
on a plunge to give the Indians
a total of 40 points.
Ely Had No Chance
The Ironmen never had a
chance as they failed to penetrate
farther than the -Bethel 45 yard
line. Bethel had seven first downs
to only one for Ely.

The Intramural sports program
is in full swing. Several weeks
ago, touch football opened the
season's slate and since that open-ing
date, the games have been
played on a twice a week basis.
Intramural officials are disa-ppointed
at the small number of
fellows who have turned out for
the games. They encourage all
who can to watch the lower bulle-tin
board (outside the gym) for the
schedules which are posted weekly
and then to play with the team to
which they have been assigned to
play on.

tomorrows homecoming game (and
we hope you all will be) will
probably notice the hard hitting
tackle in the line. He has been
very valuable as a tackle and al-though
he does not score the
touchdowns, he is probably one
of the most valuable players on
the team.
This fellow is Curt Peterson who
weighs in at 175 pounds. Now 21
years old, Curt has played on the
Bethel squad for the last three
years. Curt, who the boys call
"Korea Curt" because Uncle Sam
may call him at any time, is a
huskie fellow with a rugged frame
that can take and give a lot of
punishment which is needed for
tackle position.
Curt is a home state boy who
graduated from high school at
Braham, Minnesota. At Braham,
Curt also played tackle and was
outstanding on either team. He
also played on the basketball
team.
Curt is now in his third year
of college on our campus. He is
majoring in business administra-tion
and plans on being a business
man.
Northland, in its first two games,
neither won or lost. Both of the
games ended in a tie, one to Roch-ester
J. C., which Bethel won over
earlier in the season.
While the Indians have been
able to score 53 points against
their opponents 13, the Lumber
jacks have made and given up the
same total of 19. On this compari-son,
Bethel looks to have a big
edge in the offensive department.
However, here are some facts to
consider about the Lumberjacks:
1. The line averages about 190
pounds and it could be over
a 200 pound average if the
heaviest men were in.
2. The backfield is shifty and
fast, full of experience with
five lettermen back, and deep
in reserves.
3. The team is in a peak year
according to critics, for a huge
rebuilding program has been
on for two years and this year
is supposed to be "it".
4. The team has most of last
year's personel who whipped
Bethel 19-0.
On the basis of this information,
it should be a good game, so come
out and support Bethel as they
strive for a Homecoming victory.
• Sport Bulletin
The gymnasts have been work-ing
hard for some weeks and now
the school will be given its first
chance to watch them perform at
the halftime of the Homecoming
game on October 14. Then ten man
squad will present a mat program
which will include tumbling acts,
balancing features, pyramids, and
probably some clowning.
* * * * *
Although not much is heard
fro;n them, the cross country men
presumably continue to run as
weather permits. Lack of a coach
and also no schedule prevents
their program from expanding to
a popular campus sport.
* *
The basketball prospetcs are
practicing for the 1950-51 season.
Quite a few candidates have re-ported
to Coach Del Ray Peterson
and he is looking for a good sea-son.
The schedule is being made
up at the present time and will
probably contain about 20 games.
*x, *
Bethel's pretty cheerleaders
have been working hard in direct-ing
the fans at the football games.
At the Homecoming game, much
will be seen and heard of them,
so really get behind them in
cheering long and loud for the
Indians.
