Dr. Orr Deeper Life Week Speaker, Sept. 25-29
Rel. Council Announces Theme
Vesper Service Starts at 6:30
Frosh Initiation
and Reception Set
For Friday
At a meeting of all student
leaders held last Monday, Al
Windham, Student Council vice-president,
announced that next
Friday, September 22nd, is the
date set for Freshman Initiation
Day. All the activities pertaining
to a general freshman initiation
will be executed during this one
day only.
During the evening, beginning
at 7:30 in the college chapel, there
will be an "All School Program"
in which every student organiza-tion
will be allowed to three
minutes to present their organiza-tion
to the Freshmen. According
to Mr. Windham, the purpose of
the program is to acquaint the
new students with the type of
activity of each campus organiza-tion,
so that they may more in-telligently
chqose which ones to
join. Also during the program, the
new teachers on campus will be
welcomed.
After the evening program, a
formal reception of all the , new
students and faculty members will
be held in the dining hall, after
which everyone will be served re-freshments.
1st PDG Meeting
Held Last Night
The Progressive Discussion
Group met last night in the re-fectory
room of the boys dorm
for their initial meeting of the
year: Johannes Niemeyer led the
group as plans were made for this
school year. An election of offi-cers
was held and several ways
of getting new members were dis-cussed.
After the business session
refreshments were served.
This marks the beginning of the
fourth year that the P. D. G. has
been a standing organization on
campus. Its purpose is to stimulate
thinking regarding pertinent world
problems by the means of discus-sion.
W. Peterson and
Forsline Elected
To Rel. Council
At a student election held last
Friday in the chapel, Wally Peter-son
was elected vice-president of
the Religious Council, and Wes
Forsline was made chairman of
the Christian Service Department
of the school. A Seminary stu-dent,
Mr. Peterson has served on
the Religious Council before as
Christian Service Chairman. Mr.
Forsline is in the senior college
and has returned to the campus
after spending a year of service
with the Conference God's Inva-sion
Army.
Running for the vice-presidency
with Mr. Peterson were Bud Eklof
and Henry Nelson. Floyd Welch
was the only other member on
the Christian Service ballot.
Among the new Bethel staff and faculty members are, left to right,
fist row, Mrs. Robert Otto, new girl's dormitory supervisor, Miss Rus-inko,
English instructor, Mrs. Harold Lidbom, Miss Mildred Bisgrove,
Music Department. Back row is Prof. Walfred Peterson, economics in-structor,
Dr. Bernard Ramm, Philosophy Dept. and Bible, Roy Dalton,
history instructor, and Mr. Harold Lidbom, director of Religious Acti-vities
and supervisor of Edgren Residence. Not pictured are Dr. Con-rad
of the Seminary, Mr. Saunders and Mr. Bergstrom of the college.
Miss Mildred Bisgrove
New Momouth, New Jersey saw Miss Mildred Bisgrove through her
childhood days and then promptly lost her to such institutions of learn-ing
as Temple University, where she studied art, Eastman's school of
music and then to Union Theological Seminary for a major in sacred
music.
Miss Bisgrove obtained a master's degree for which history, literature
and piano formed a background. Transcribing twelfth, thirteenth and
fourteenth century music contributed to her musical experience besides
the teaching she did in the music department of Augustana College in
Rock Island, Illinois.
Mr. Roy Dalton
Mr. Roy Dalton is putting his B. A. degree into immediate use in his
alma mater's history department. Over 100 students are enrolled in his
course in modern world, and he intends to devote much of that course
to studying history that is in the making today.
Summer school at the University of Minnesota was just the beginning
for Mr. Dalton, who is continuing graduate studies there in the field
of history when his profession does not keep him occupied otherwise.
Piano and Organ fill the spare moments which the junior boys of his
Sunday School class leave unclaimed.
Mr. Walfred Peterson
Minnesota U is responsible (at least in part) for both the B. A. and
M. A. behind Mr. Walfred Peterson's name, Mr. Peterson, who is teach-ing
economics and political science this year, spent the previous year
attending the University of Washington.
It is possible that Mrs. Peterson hides the sports section of the
daily paper occasionally, since her husband takes a decided interest
in it, basketball being his favorite sport.
Dr. Bernard Ramm
Now that his book on Bible interpretation is written and due to
reach the public in less than a month, Dr. Ramm can give his full
attention to the college students who come to him to learn the history
of philosophy or the philosophy of religion as well as those Seminar-ians
who look to him for Old Testament introduction information or a
view into the field of Christian apologetics.
This man, holding an honorary membership in such organizations as
The Victorian Society of Great Britain, the National Association of
Bible Instructors, a national philosophy society and a national honor
society, is known to Beth, age 7, and Stevie, age 4, as "Daddy" and
attributes his scholastic success to "sleeping 8 hours a night."
Miss Susan Rusinko
When subjects as varied as music appreciation, tennis and knitting
claim Miss Rusinko's special interest, it is to be expected that her
classes in English literature will benefit thereby. A B. A. degree from
Wheaton College and an M. A. degree from Pennsylvania State College
in English literature also aid in that direction. Westmont College in
Santa Barbara, California formerly counted Miss Rusinko on their
teaching staff.
Mr. Robert R. Sanders
Travel in the West filled Mr. Sanders' time just prior to his arrival
at Bethel his residence in the Hagstrom Apartments. In his biology
and zoology classes he intends to use visual education extensively,
using as many colored slides as he can procure. Experiments in
bacteriology will also be carried out by Mr. Sanders who studied
bacteriology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He secured a
master's degree from Washington State College in zoology and etom-ology.
Mr. W. Bergstrom
Mr. Bergstrom is teaching in the English department and was not
available for an interview at this time.
Added requirements for Semin-ary
seniors bring Rev. Alphin Con-rad
here to teach Biblical Theol-ogy
this year.
Dealing with this subject in the
Old and New Testament and in
Christology, the new Seminary in-structor,
who holds among other
degress a Th M degree from Cent-ral
Baptist Seminary in Kansas
City, Missouri, plans to present
the entire course in three quar-ters.
During the year he will also
be working on a dissertation to
complete his master's degree. New
Testament Survey and Evangelism
will also be teaching fields for
the former pastor of Seattle's
Ballard Baptist Church.
Under "special interests" Rev.
Conrad lists the time consuming
occupation of building a house
wherein his wife Hazel, a daugh-ter,
Joy Lyn, and a son, Bill will
reside with him when the project
is completed. Mrs. Conrad] is the
daughter of the first missionaries
to enter Tibet with the gospel.
"Where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound," Romans 5:20,
was cited by Rev. Conrad as one
of his favorite verses of Scrip-ture.
Edgren Dorm Has
New Advisor
At a boy's dormitory meeting,
Mr. Harold Lidbom, new supervi-sor
of boy's dormitories made the
statement "A man can be in busi-ness
and still be a real Christian."
From 1932 until 1949 Mr. Lid-born
was in business with the
Gambles chain stores. During his
last 41/2 years as a business man,
"Pop" Lidbom was district mana-ger
for the Gambles stores of Wis-consin,
Michigan and Minnesota.
For the past two years, Mr. Lid-born
has been associated with the
Conference God's Invasion Army,
having ben one of its organizers
with Rev. Ed Nelson, Mrs. Lid-born
is still with the Invasion
Army and will be until November.
Before going into the business
world the new supervisor attended
Northern State Teachers College.
Mrs. Lidbom graduated from
Bethel Acadlemy in 1924.
The Lidboms are members of
Bethel Baptist Church of Duluth,
where both hay served as a choir
member and Sunday School
teacher.
As expressed before at a dorm
meeting, Mr. Iidbom feels that his
job will be enjoyable with the
spirit of cooperation existing a-mong
the fellows.
Faculty Wife Is
Appointed Girl's
Dorm Supervisor
Wife of a Bethel philosophy
teacher, mother of a nine month
old son, Bruce, and housemother
of Bodien Dorm—all these is Mrs.
Robert Otto.
A former Bethel student herself,
Mrs. Otto says her jobs as house-m
o t h e r include supervision of
housekeeping activities, and work-ing
with the House Council in
maintaining regulation of dosmito-ry
rules.
Stating her pleasure in her posi-tion,
Ms. Otto said everything was
just fine. "I don't anticipate any
real problems, for everyone who
lives in the Women's Dormitory
should do so with the idea of liv-ing
within the rules and living up
to the Bethel standards. We must
all help each other to grow and de-velop
together.

Returning to the Campus to be the speaker at the fall Deeper Life
Week meetings is Dr. J. Edwin Orr, Ireland born world revivalist, who
recently has been instrumental in organizing prayer fellowship among
ministers for prayer support of revival in America. Beginning on Mon-day,
Sept. 25th and lasting through Friday, Sept. 29th, Dr. Orr will be
speaking at the morning Chapel services and at a vesper service each
evening, beginning at 6:30 in the college chapel.
Dr. On has appeared on the
campuses of several colleges in
the country bringing messages of
the deeper life in Christ to hun-dreds
of young people. In the
spcing of 1949, Dr. Orr was on the
Bethel Campus for the spring ses-sion
of Deeper Life meetings. Dur-ing
those meetings, many students
gave testimony of experiencing a
deeper walk in their Christian
life.
The coming meetings will be led
by students and the special music
will be selected from the student
body.
For a theme verse for the five
'days of meetings the Religious
Council has selected II Chronicles
7:14... "If my people which are
called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked
ways: then will I hear from hea-ven,
and will heal their land."
Religious Council President Clif-ford
Anderson stated the anticipa-tion
of the Council and many stu-dents
as "We trust that every stu-dent
will support these meetings
With their prayers and attend-ance."
in cooperation with the Council,
the dining hall will close at 6:15
to enable students to get to the
meetings on time.

Editorial .. .
On behalf of the Clarion publication: Wel-come
all Freshman and new students to Beth-el
campus!
In this Clarion issue are printed faculty
greetings. Words such as "cooperation," "re-sponsibilities,"
"sacrifices," opportunities,"
"leadershil," "scholastic," unitedly," "faith-ful,"
and "surrender," appear and challenge
the reader. These words attract some students
and sincere effort is made to develop leader-ship;
to be cooperative; and to engage in a
united effort.
Those whom "opportunities" or "leader-ship"
might attract will not find it hard to
pursue paths at Bethel on which they may use
their talents' and develop leadership.
One of the areas in which there is much
opportunity to be of service and to develop
leadership is in the `publication department of
the school. Both on the school paper, the
Clarion, and on the ammal, The Spire, there
are places to give your talents. Take advan-tage
of the "opportunities" a reporter has in
meeting his classmates and the faculty and
being alert to campus news. Much training is
gained by those who meet the business man in
selling advertising. There is a certain pride
that comes to a page makeup editor when he
sees the workings of his mind and hands on a
neatly printed page. A typist can really feel
to be of much service as the many stories
cross her desk.
As you have opportunities "stir up the gifts
within" and be of service to the schol by help-ing
in publications.
Greetings Bethelites
by Dean Edwin J. Omark
An official welcome may seem unnecessary
or unduly belated at this date when school
activities are in full swing. We trust the
warmth of Bethel's welcome has already been
experienced by all new students and personnel
on the campus.
Speaking for the Seminary, we are pleased
to record this rather formal welcome in the
hope that it may correctly express the cordial
feelings of the faculty. We are delighted to
welcome all new students, and our hearts
rejoice over the privilege of deepening friend-ships
with returning students.
Witai Place dieitaiain?
by Dave Carlson
At various and sundry times during the
year various and sundry organizations recog-nize
various and sundry individuals as having
that bravado which singles them out from
among the masses and names them as HER-OES.
Now I would be the first one to approve
such commendations and most of the rewards
are bestowed upon worthy individuals. How-ever,
I also feel that many heroes go unnotic-ed
amid the hurry and bustle of the everyday
American scene.
For instance, I personally know an Ameri-can
husband who* actually braved the criti-cism
and anguished cries of his wife and
three teen-age daughters and went to evening
church services three times during the summ-er
months rather than enjoy a cool Sunday
evening ride.
Then there is that one student in a thou-sand
who will actually admit that she didn't
do much during her three months at home
except swim, have dates and get up late morn-ings.
Her honesty is worthy of recognition as
well as being refreshing.
And who is so daring as the inquisitive soul
that asks the sweet young returning Sopho-more,
"How's your boy friend these days?"
That blood-chilling look and the even colder
reply soon puts a stop to such idle questions.
So don't anticipate the day when you will
meet an honest-to-goodness hero ... your
roommate may be one!
Dean's Welcome:
Let's Do It Again!
When asked by a Clarion reporter what
they Nought of the Freshman Retreat at Big
Trout Lake the freshmen were enthusiastic in
their replies, and expresed the hope that all
future freshmen classes at Bethl will b privi-iged
with such an experience.
Here are just a few of the answers received:
RALPH CARLSON—Bristol, Connecticut...
"This weekend certainly has been worthwhile
in the fellowship and many spiritual blessings
we have had."
VERA VAN CLEAVE—Steamboat Springs,
Colorado... "This weekend has given us fresh-men
a real start spiritually and socially."
BERNICE GOODNIGHT—Russiaville, Indi-ana...
"This weekend has brought me closer
to God than ever before. I wondered why God
brought me to Bethel, and now I know why.
This is a wonderful place."
DORAINE ANDERSON—Westfield New Jer-sey...
"This weekend has been an inspiration
spiritually and has given us freshmen a won-derful
chance to get acquainted with each
other."
ERIC WARNSTROM—Chicago, Illinois...
"This weekend has really been swell. We've
gotten to know each other as freshmn and
found a ral warm Christian fellowship which
has drawn us closer to the Lord."
DON BERGGREN—Jamestown, North Dako-to...
"The steam is up spiritually; let's keep
the presure constant."
JOYCE BRADSHAW—Ludington, Michigan.
"I enjoyed the meetings on Sunday most of
all. The messages, chalk drawing, movies, and
the Campfire climaxed a perfect weekend."
DON BARNHILL—Davenport, Iowa. "The
Sunday evening meeting made a lasting im-pression
upon me, and from the standpoint
of entertainment, the sports were tops."
LORRAINE FRIBERG—Ferndale, Washing-ton.
"We couldn't have had a better opportuni-ty
to become better acquainted with our new
classmates, and I think a retreat such as this
one was the best thing in beginning the
school year right."
Introducing "Egghead"
by Marlene Burtt
Bethel has, for a number of years, been
filled with heads of all kinds. There have
been square heads, block heads, cabbage
heads, and now comes an egghead.
Scientific minded students and those from
the deep south will be interested to know of
Professor aSnder's new pet. It's a two pound,
sixteen gila monster (pronounced hela.)
Dubbed "Egghead" because of its ability to
live on raw eggs and a little water, the lizard-like
reptile is perhaps five years old •and is
very brightly colored. Its name means "sun
skin."
"Egghead" was caught with a bug net by
Professor Sanders three years ago on a desert
near Tuscon, Arizona. It resided in the Sand-er'
bathtub (hope they have two.) Reported
to hiss a little, and bite if necessary, "Egg-head"
has a forked tongue and sheds skin
irregularly. The genus Heloderma susspectum
claims "Egghead!' as a member of its family.
crship. In giving yourself unselfishly, you will
experience joy. If you live off-campus you
will have many opportunities to witness for
Christ and to guard the reputation of Bethel
College and Seminary in the Community.
You cannot be a successful student in your
own strength. You cannot look to upper-class-men
or to faculty members as perfect exam-ples
although they will do what they can to
help you. You must keep your eyes upon Je-sus,
your Lord and Master, and remember that
He tenderly looks at you and expects nothing
less than your very best at all times.
Welcome to Bethel, the school which has
reached out to touch lives in many parts of
the world. Welcome to share in the responsi-bilities
of making this school year the best
year that Bethel has ever had scholastically
and spiritually. •
Effie V. Nelson
Dean of Women
Consider This...
...."But as for you, continue in what ye
have learned and have firmly believed, know-ing
from whom you have learned it and how
from childhood you have been acquainted
with the sacred writings which are able to
instruct you for salvation through faith in
Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God
and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, equip-ped
for every good work."
II Timothy 3:14.17
Mayhem and Madness
It's time to change the mistaken idea that
the words "sugar and spice and everything
nice" always applies to girls. If you had been
present at the traditional "dunking" party
given to the freshmen girls by the girls of
the upper classes, it might have appeared that
the spirit of "snips and snails and puppy dog
tails" prevailed. •
This time of mayhem and madness was not
a total surprise. For days the operation under
way was planned in whispered conferences
held behind locked doors. The time ... 11:30
P.M. (when all good freshmen are in bed),
the place ... the Girl's Dorm. At the zero
hour, some 35 upperclassmen,, with the pain-ful
memory of their own "dunking" still fresh
in their minds, set out to wreak vengeance
upon the unsuspecting freshmen. The tramp-ing
feet of this army struck terror to their
hearts. They tried locking their doors, but
Lucy "Casey" Caskey, with the master key in
hand, was more than a match for them. The
miserable victims crouched in their beds or
hid in closets, but it was no use. A few help-less
attempts at struggling were made, but
most of the girls submitted in mute surrender
to the power of the invaders, each of whom
grabbed an arm and leg of their trembling
prey. The trip down the hall was swift, and
before the freshmen could retaliate, they
found themselves sitting in a tub filled with
cold water.
An operation of this sort is not without
its complications however. In the excitement,
one of the interested spectators, Mrs. Wal-fred
Peterson, was almost mistaken for a
freshman and narrowly escaped their fate.
And lest some of the freshmen girls are ready
to believe that Carol Bessey, who was moni-tor
that night, is austere and forbidding in
the strictest sense of the word, let it be
known that the only reason she threatened
to "campus" those freshmen who refused to
mop up the water, was to save the upper
classmen's strength. All suffered severe cases
of battle fatigue and dispersed to their vari-ous
rooms to recuperate.
Plans for next year's operation are already
under way. In this way the freshmen will
be able to vindicate themselves, and at the
same time the tradition of Bethel dorm life
will be preserved for later years.
Cem5 of Tbougtjt
President Wingblade
The doors of Bethel have opened once more
to a host of young people—many of them for
the first time. In addition to all else that has
been said, this is another warm word of wel-come.
We trust that every new student feels very
much at home by this time as he has been re-ceived
into the Bethel family and made to un-derstand
that he now "belongs."
What kind of year are we going to have?
The answer to that depends upon everyone of
us. "What kind of school would Bethel be if
every student were just like me?" If each one
lip es out his part faithfully, each link will be
strong and the entire chain complete.
God does not require that we be brilliant
or gifted; that is a matter outside our province
to decree. The question is: Have we been
faithful? Have we made the most of what we
have been given?
Some years ago the highest I. Q. student in
the college drew only "C" grades. He did not
try. He leaned when he should have led. He
drifted. He did his light under the bushel of
indifference.
What is in thine hand? A shepherd's staff.
But it became the instrument by which God
wrought almost countless miracles. What is
in thine hand? A few stones and a sling. But
by means of that the great giant was laid low
and victory was wrought for a people.
What is in thine hand? Five tiny loaves and
two small fish. That became the means of
feeding a multitude and yet of overflowing
still abundantly.
The school master scorned Thomas Edison,
the electric wizard, as a dunce. Caruso, the
world's greatest tenor, was sent home by his
singing teacher as hopeless. Lincoln rose to
the presidency after a long series of defeats.
We know that in each case there was a hidden
genius that brought out only by infinite pa-tience
and hard work.
"All I could, never be,
All men ignored in me—
That I was worth to God
Whose wheel the pitcher framed."
Every student at Bethel can become a suc-cess
far beyond his highest dreams if he will
make the most of every opportunity—if he
will surrender himself to the hands of the
1‘1 aster.
May we ever remember that we are not our
own. We are brought with a price. May we
glorify God in our bodies and spirits which
are His.
The Most Dangerous
Thing In the World
The September issue of the National Educa-tion
Association Journal came to my desk just
ahead of the Clarion editor's request for a
thought for the Clarion. When the editor left,
I opened the Journal and saw a lead article
on "The Most Dangerous Thing in the World."
As I began to read the article, I discovered
that an education can be the "most danger-ous
thing in the world," for the writer em-phasized
that an "intelligence which is not
humane," is just that. Immediately there be-gan
a panoramic reflection of the scores of
newspapers and magazines that I have thumb-ed,
out of the past decades, which proclaimed
a great unqualified faith in knowledge. A
generation ago educators and public alike pro-posed
to solve all the world's problems by the
dissemination of knowledge.
It is refreshing now to read that "Just as
education without humanity is the most dan-gerous
thing in the world, so education in
love, human understanding, and cooperation is
the greatest hope of the world." This truth
has always been prominent in Bethel's educa-tional
philosophy, It must, however, be under-stod
that this education involves a combination
of the human agencies with the divine work
of grace in the human heart. Without the lat-ter
every effort will be futile.
As Bethel personnel, faculty and students,
we profess to be Christians. Let us unitedly
ask the Lord for a school year in which live,
human understanding, and cooperation are
prominent manifestations of the Lord's work-ig
in our lives.
—C. E. Carlson

It is a pleasure to extend a sincere welcome
to the students who have come to Bethel for
the first time. You have ben praying and
planning, and now you are really here. Upper
classmen and faculty members have looked
forward to your coming, and they are expect-ing
the best from you. Hundreds and thou-sands
of consecrated Conference Babtists have
made sacrifices that you might enjoy the op-portunities
which are now before you. Your
parents will mis you but the ywill prayerfully
look toward Bethel with thankful hearts for
the responsibilities which you will con
scientiously accept.
It is true that yoti have come to Bethel to
get an education in a Christian atmosphere.
It is also true that your responsibilities are as
great as your privileges. It is not only impor-tant
to accept what Bethel offers you but also
important to consider what you can give. On
the campus hundreds of other students will
look to you for Christian friendship and lead-

Freshman Say Trout Lake
Retreat "A Big Success!!
All the way from the play, "Little Nell," Saturday night to Roger
Youngquist's last message on "Christian Principle Choices," the Fresh-men
Retreat at Big Trout Lake was a thrilling experience and a big
success, according to the general expression of those in attendance.
Planned by the freshmen week chairman, Jim Rentz, the retreat
was held for the purpose if getting acquainted; and to give a spiritual
lift to start off the year.
The group of 175 freshmen were right choices to make. President

New Health Service
Has Growing Pains
by Lucius Butler
Dil you get your X-ray? Have
you noticed the pipes by the stairs
in the dining hall? Remember that
three dollars you paid at registra-tion
time? Been wondering what
this is all about? Well, I'll tell
'ytocki. Our school has grown so
much in the past couple of years
that the School Nurse has had to
become three people in order to
keep up with all her "charges."
In order to relieve this situation,
President Wingblade appointed a
committee, with Professor Elving
Anderson as chairman, to work out
the details of this much thought-of,
discussed problem.
If you are interested in finding
out the "clear dope" on our new
Health Service, may I refer you to
pnge 9 of our current College Cat-alog.
In the meantime, however,
all those who have aches and
pains (o t h e r than those heart-aches
caused b y mental "pres-sures")
should see t h e School
Nurse, Marianne Ostrom, and she
will patch you up so you. will last
the rest of the quarter.
For those who would like to
know just what they get for three
dollars, here is a listing: A physi-cal

school (don't fret Frosh, you get
it), also one prior to graduation

terrible headaches from studying
too much (pause for a short
laugh), sugar pills for those
"what.chamacallits" pains that
some students get during the final
week, and if you can convince the
nurse that you ahe really sick, you
can spend one wonderful day in
the infirmary free of charge each
quarter.
Something New
Has Been Added
To the freshmen, the im-provements
on our campus pass
unnoticed, but to the upperclass-men,
they show signs of progress.
This year we have several of these
improvements.
A new dishwashing machine,
valued at $200., has been installed
in the dishroom. The kitchen has
been enlarged by a new baking
room. Also in the girl's dormi-tory
is the infirmary, which is in
the process of being completed.
Two rooms, each having three
beds, will house sick patients. A
third room is being converted in-to
a treatment room. In the coll-ege
building, a new banking win-dow
has been put in the main off-ice,
and in the library, glass parti-tions
have been installed.

Several New Books Added o Bethel Library
"Root Out of Dry Ground'' Briggs
Is Among the Christian Novels
New Policies Are
Announced For the
Year by Post Office
According to Miss Jean Lind-blom
of the Bethel Office Staff,
the following information is given
regarding mail procedures for the
year:
1. Incoming mail for students
will be in the mail boxes by 11:30
A.M., no earlier.
2. Packages may arrive at any-time
during the day, and students
will be notified of ,their arrival by
a slip placed in their boxes. Upon
presentation of this slip at the
mail window, the package may be
obtained.
3. Mail goes out at 1:30 P.M.
and at 5:00 P.M.
4. Mail window will be closed
during sorting of the mail between
11:00 A.M. and 11:30 A.M.
5. The hours the mail window
will be open are 8-12 in the morn-ing
and 1-4:45 in the afternoon.
The office will be closed Satur-day
afternoon.
6. Business must be handled
through the mail window and ont
inside the office.
7. No C. 0. D.'s will be accept-ed
unless money is left for it.
Among the postal items sold at
the window are every common
denomination of stamps, money
orders, postal notes, stamped en-velopes—
large and small, and air
mail stamped envelopes.
Miss Lindblom requested that in
order to eliminate wasting time,
all students be asked to advise
those with whom they correspond
to include the correct box number
in the address.
If any student knows that there
' are others on campus with the
same name, they are asked to in-clude
their middle initial in their
correspondence.
Any package or laundry case
may be mailed and insured thru
the mailing system.
Miss Lidblom stated that "the
mailing privileges are available
for the student's use, and if all
will acquaint themselves with
mailing procedures and rules,
better service can be maintained."
Billy Graham's sermon on
"Atonement" is found in vol. 2 of
"Great Gospel Sermons" along
with messages from other out-standing
evangelists of today. Sem-inary
students may want to read
what Mr. Leiffer says in "A Lay-man
Looks at the Minister."
Be on friendly terms with the
biography section (books number-ed
from 920 to 929). You'll find
no more fascinating reading than
the lives of great men and women.
A few minutes of leisurely brows-ing
among the biographies will
warm your heart.
The musically inclined will want
to se "Guideposts for the Church
Musician,"__ a._ huge__ loose -flea
arrangement of material to help
those who are interested in im-proving
church music. Todd's "A
Listener's Guide to Musical Form"
helps you appreciate good music.
"Root Out of Dry Ground" and
"This, My Brother" are two Christ
ian novels many have enjoyed.
Both arb written by Argye Briggs;
the first won the Erdmans Fiction
Award in 1948.
Even if you don't read French,
you'll enjoy the excellent illust-rations
in the four massive vol-umes
of "Histoire Generale des
Religions."
In 1947, a fragment of the earl-iest
draft of the Declaration of
Independence was found. You may
see a facsimile of it in volume one
of "The Papers of Thomas Jeffer-son."
This work being published
by Princeton University will con-tain
52 volumes when it is com-plete.
Library hours during the school
year are as follows: 7:45 A.M. to
10 P.M. Mondays through Fridays;
8 A.M. to 3 P.M. Saturdays. Come
in and browse among the books.
Most new faces appear on the Bethel campus in September, but new
books arrive at the Bethel library almost daily. Most volumes are not
of the "popular" variety, yet one can find much material for recrea-tional
reading.
Among newer books received is one that may interest cross word
puzzle-workers—"Laird's Promptory," a dictionary of synonyms, ant-onyms
and specific equivalents. Sports followers will enjoy pursuing the
"New Encyclopedia of Sports."
What do you know about Ethio-pia,
the land in which one of our
new General Conference Mission
projects is located? For interest-ing
glimpses of the country and
people as seen by a medical miss-ionary,
read Dr. Lambie's "Boot
and Saddle in Africa." For histori-cal
treatment, you'll find San-ford's
"Ethiopia under Haile Sel-assie"
and Work's "Ethiopia, A
Pawn in European History" valu-able.

Del Peterson to Be
Athletic Director
After an absence of ten years,
Bethel's new director of atheltics,
Del Ray Peterson, returns to fill
the job left by Coach Paul Ed-wards.
Mr. Peterson will also be
the basketball coach for the corn-ing
season, as well as assisting
with football.
Coach Peterson started his coll-ege
work here at Bethel in 1938
and was here for two years thru
1940. While at Bethel, he starred
on the varsity basketball squads
for two seasons. He was regular,
on the starting five, and played
outstanding ball in the Minnesota
Junior College Conference, of
which Bethel was a member at
that time. For his fine performan-ces,
Mr. Peterson was named to
the All-Conference team both
years.
Next stop was Hamline Univer-sity
of St. Paul, where he corn-pieted
his four year course and
graduated with a Bachelor of
Science degree, majoring in phy-sical
education. Here Mr. Peterson
played one year of basketball.
About this time Uncle Sam in-terfered
and Coach Peterson serv-ed
in the United States Marine
Air Corps for four years from
1942-1946. When discharged from
the service, he entered into the
employment of the Minneapolis
Gas Company, where he has work-for
the past five years.
In 1947-48, Coach Peterson was
named and served as head basket-ball
coach at Minnehaha Academy.
Here under the able leadership
of Mr. Peterson, the academy team
won the Private School champion-ship
and Tournament. Then in
1949-50, he was back at Hamline
for further schooling. This past
summer, he has been at the Univ-ersity
working on his Master's
Degree.
Coach Peterson, who makes his
home in Minneapolis, is 31, and
married. His family consists of one
boy, Del Ray Jr., 5, and one girl,
Lynn Cheryl, 2.

Bethel College opens its 1950 football season on September 23rd at
Highland Stadium at 2:00 P.M. The opponent is Rochester J. C. from
Rochester, Minn. Last year in the opening game at Rochester under the
lights, the Indians fell 13-6. However, this year the team hopes to square
things by winning the tilt and thus opening the season on a successful
note. One thing which will help the team get off on the right foot
is a good crowd of students, teachers, and friends. All of you loyal
Bethel fans should by all means be at this opening game and all the
rest throughout the season. Support the boys—it's your team!
Although basketball is still a long way off, it is interesting to look
about and speculate a little. Of last year's starting five, only Bud Pierce
is back. Captain-elect Pierce is a good man to have back, as any one
who has seen him play knows, but a lot of good material will have to
come to take the places of his former fellow-mates, Greenman, Wood,
Bjorndahl, and Peterson. Ken Greenman is back but in the Seminary,
thereby ineligible. A few of the second string have been seen on the
campus including Gordy Johnson, Wayne Thompson, Harry Nelson,
Cliff Anderson, Art Hague. With some of the new fellows addling to
these already mentioned, a nucleus is seen for the future basketball
season.
Welcome to the new coaches, new football players, and all new
students on the behalf of the Clarion sports staff. Best of luck to the
coaches, Del Ray Peterson, and Lynn Lundeen, as they guide the way
in the sport field this year. To all you new students, enyoj the games
and support the teams with your attendance at all the contests.
Lynn Lundeen Named Coach
Will Direct Football Campaign
"Fresh from college" would be the term to apply to the new football
coach at Bethel for the 1950-51 season. eH is Lynn Lundeen, who has
just finished his schooling at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, graduat-ing
with a B.A., majoring in physical education.
Coach Lundeen could easily be mistaken for a Bethel student, for
he is only 22 years of age and looks like a typical student with his
crew cut hairdo. He is 5' 10" tall and weighs around 160. He is un-married
(as of this interview), and makes his home in the city across
the river from St. Paul.
Edison High School in Minneapolis was the training ground for his
first days of football. There he held down a guard position on the team
for three years surrounded by such giants as Clayt Tonnemaker and
Jerry Mitchell—later of fame at the University of Minnesota.
In the year 1946, Mr. Lundeen found himself on the campus of Augs-burg
for the first time and he wasted no time in going out for foot-ball.
He was rewarded with a position on the team at the old guard
spot which he played in high school. Again in his sophomore, junior,
and senior years, he gained a place on the squad.
Wrestling also drew his attention at Augsburg, and he wrestled regu-larly
in the 155 pound division. Two opponents in St. Paul were Macal-ester
and the Minnesota Farm School.
Aside from coaching with the Minneapolis Park Board Logan midgets,
this is Coach Lundeen's first assignment as a coach. After working out
with the fellows out for football this year, the coach voiced the opinion
that "the spirit is good, the fellows are all working hard and looking
forward to a good season."
Only Eight Lettermen Return;
Rochester Here for Opener
Between twenty-five and thirty gridders answered the football call
on September 12 as Coach Lundeen began charting plans for the 1950
season. This year marks Bethel's fifth year in the sport, and the pros-pects
look better this year than ever before.
Although only eight lettermen are back from last year's squad,
newcomers appear to be out in good numbers, and most are very good
prospects. Fellows back from previous years will have to fight to main-tain
their position on the team this year as some of the new prospects
appear able to step into the starting lineup.
Back from last year are letter-men
Ron Skoog and John Viren,
who are co-captains elect for this
season, Ron Johnson, Al Olson,
Curt Peterson, Red Anderson, Phil
Carlson, and Ralph Bennett. Skoog
and Olson are backfield men; Vir-en,
Johnson, and Peterson are
tackles, and the other three are
ends.
Among the newcomers are Bob
Carlson of Manistique, Mich., at
tackle or end; Andy Cracker from
Davenport,__ Iowa,__ at__ halfback;
Dick Chadderdon, Mahtomedi,
Minn. at fullback; Jack Jensen of
Wyandotte, Indiana, at end; Oliver
Du Frene of Little Falls, Minn. at
fullback; Arvid Berg and Ken
Gullman, both at Bethel last year;
Calvin Anderson, Manistique,.
Michigan, at tackle; Don Bergg-renJamestown,
North Dakota at
guard, Cliff Pals of Orange City at
halfback; Stan Mayer of Denver,
Colorado at halfback; and Don
Spratt.
The entire squad is practicing
daily under Coach Lynn Lundeen
on the Bethel practice field. Work-outs
are progressing and pointing
towards Saturday, September 23,
when the team meets Rochester
here at Highland Stadium. The
team is looking to the entire stu-dent
body to really get behind
Winfrey's Variety
them this year and boost them to
the best season ever. Be sure and
