New Name Contest
paiudita Bi_weehki 4 Bethei cal". pa.1 For Bethel Yearbook
Vol. XXXII—No. 2
Friday, October 15, 1954
Entry blanks for the "YOU NAME IT" yearbook contest will be
given out in chapel Monday.
In an -effort to get a new name for the Bethel school yearbook, the
Student Senate is sponsoring a contest, offering cash awards totalling
twenty-five dollars. The top five entries, chosen by the contest commit-tee,
will receive $3.00 each, and the winning name, selected by an all-campus
vote at chapel time Wednesday, October 27th, will win $10.00
cash.
At 2 p.m. the Bethel Royals will
meet the Wahpeton Wild Cats on
the gridiron. Then, immediately
after the game, the doors of Bo-dien
and Edgren dormitories will
be swung open for the annual op-en
house. All girls are permitted
to inspect the boys' domain, and
the girls' dormitory is open to the
scrutiny of the fellows. Open
house continues until 7:30 p.m.
From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. dinner
will be served to students and
alumni in the dining hall. Also,
simultaneously with the student-alumni
dinner, a– dinner will be
served to Academy alumni in the
Student Center.
Parade Scheduled
I p.m. Tomorrow
_Escorted by police, Don Stipe
and Barbara Olander, host and
hostess of the homecoming festiv-ities,
will lead a parade of floats
down Snelling Ave. tomorrow at
1 p.m.
The parade, directed by Roger
Moberg, will start on Arlington
Street between Arona and Snell-ing
Avenues and finish at the
Norton field on the Hamline cam-pus
where the homecoming game
will be played.
The floats, entered by the col-lege
classes, language clubs, and
other campus organizations, will
be judged in the same way as the
dormitories on originality, beauty,
and creativeness.
Any last minute information or
offers of assistance may be direct-ed
to either Russ Sandblom, chair-man
of the homecoming commit-tee,
or Roger Moberg.
Bloodmobile Here
The recreation room of Edgren
Residence will be the headquart-ers
for a Bloodmobile unit on
Friday, Oct. 29, 9 a.m. through 3
p.m.
Anyone between the ages of 18
and 60 is eligible to give blood.
However, those under 21 must
first secure a parent's signature.
An article received by Miss Do-ris
Moberg, school nurse, gives
some of the uses of blood. A few
of these are:
"It keeps surgery patients alive
through critical operations.
"It is used to treat the victim of
accidents which happen in the
home and on the highway.
"It pulls many sick and injured
people through long illnesses.
Homecoming Prog.
Dr. Clarence Nelson, president
of North Park college and Theo-logical
seminary, is the main
speaker on tomorrow night's pro-gram
to begin at 8:00 p.m. in the
fieldhouse. The theme of his mes-sage
will be homecoming keynote,
"Joint Heirs with Christ."
Dr. Nelson is well known in the
Twin Cities, where he served as
associate pastor of the First Cov-enant
church of St. Paul, later as
pastor of the Salem Covenant
church in Minneapolis, and most
recently as president of Minneha-ha
Academy from 1944 to 1950.
He has held his present position
since 1950.
Master of ceremonies for the
program will be the Rev. Carl
"Cully" Olson, recently returned
from the Alaskan mission field.
President Lundquist will give the
invocation.
Music will be provided by the
newly-formed College Choir, for-merly
the Chapel Choir, under the
direction of C. Howard Smith.
The group will sing "Songs of
Praises" and "All Hail the Power
of Jesus' Name." The Mantzke
quartet will present a few vocal
numbers. Dick Anthony, staff or-ganist
of radio station WMBI in
Chicago and former Bethelite, will
sing and play.
Miss Moberg reassures, "There
should be no fear at all in giving
a pint of blood, and you can be
assured that you will not be sub-jected
to any pain whatsoever. In
other words, it is really a pleas-ure
to give blood because you can
realize that someone is very thank-ful
to you for having done so."
Entry blanks must be placed in
the "Letters to the Editor" box,
in the hall outside the chapel, by
3:00 p.m. next Friday, October
22nd. The five top entries will be
posted Monday, October 25th, and
the vote on these five is scheduled
for chapel time, Wednesday, Octo-ber
27th.
The contest is open to all col-lege
and seminary students, the
faculty, and the administration.
Each person may make as many
entries as he wishes, but each
name proposed must be on a sep-arate
entry blank. Time and date
of the entry must be sure to be
included as duplicate entries will
be considered as to the time they
were made.
Members of the contest commit-tee
are Barbara Olander, Marilyn
Anderson, Marlys Malmsten, Rog-er
Hedberg, and Eugene Johnson,
faculty representative.

Dormitory Expansion
Completed By Fall '55
A program for dormitory expansion, made possible by a quarter
million dollar government loan, was finally accepted by the board of
education last Wednesday night. The expansion, to enlarge Bodien
and Edgren residences and the dining hall, is to be completed by the
opening of the fall quarter of 1955.
The decision of the board was to make final application for a
loan of a long term, low interest rate from the government which has
already set aside this sum of money for the school. The sum, approxi-mately
between $200,000 and $300,000, will be amortized by dormitory
income. As a result, there will be no need for an appeal to the denomin-ation
for additional finances.
The expansion of the dormitories will make possible housing for
an additional 100-140 students.
Acting on the assumption that the enrollment of Bethel will be
doubled by 1965, President Carl H. Lundquist announced that the
board of education also is discussing plans for a combination tennis
court and ice rink, a chapel building extended from the library, and a
permanent athletic site off-campus for both collegiate and intramural
sports.
This loan and others being offered to colleges throughout the
country are being made available to help house the increased enroll-ment
anticipated in the future.
'54 Homecoming Opens
With Crowded Schedule
Homecoming, 1954, officially began this morning at 8 o'clock with
the commencement of alumni registration.
The first main event on the Homecoming calendar is the variety
program, which will be held in the field house tonight, beginning at
8 o'clock. Those who attend will learn the details of this program of
entertainment which has been planned.
The festivities will be resumed tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock
when the Homecoming parade will leave from the college to procede
to the scene of the football game.

Meet Mr. Mostert
by Marilyn Larson
"Bethel is a tool in the hand of
the Lord," remarked our featured
foreign student in a recent chap-el
service, "by which the Lord
will work in my life."
Born Geert Mostert in Gronin-gen,
Netherlands, on March 3,
1927, he is known on campus by
his "Americanized" name, Gerald.
He stands five feet, eleven inches,
weighs 145 pounds, and has light
brown hair and blue eyes.
Saved at the age of five, Gerald,
through soul-disturbing war ex-periences
at an early age, became
extremely burdened for his people.
At the Lord's leading he came to
America in 1948, returned to the
Netherlands for a few months in

at Bethel.
Gerald has two years ahead be-fore
he completes his miaisterial
course and obtains a Bachelor of
Divinity degree. He hopes to
be sent out by the Dutch Baptist
Union as a missionary in Dutch
Guiana.
"I have been most impressed by
the slight class difference in Am-erica
as compared to what I have
been used to," commented Gerald.
"Also very impressive has been
the helpfulness to me on the part
of the people here."
Gerald enjoys writing short stor-ies,
and occasionally, poetry. He,
his wife, Truus, and their year
old son, Ronald, live about three
miles from campus.

Mood Music
by Phil Caldeen
Tense and tired from a jarring,
tedious ride, the tall, thirtyish
gentleman found the peace of twi-light
the perfect atmosphere for
relaxation—and reverie.
He walked toward the college
building without any particular
purpose. Up the cement stairs,
now a little more chipped and
worn, through the door that still
gives a boost, if one doesn't move
fast enough, and downstairs he
went. The post office at the bot-tom
of the stairs aroused memor-ies
of his frequent visits (never
less than ten a day) to his P. 0.
box.
Next he turned to the student
lounge (A big improvement from
his student days, when food and
fellowship were enjoyed in five
or six snug booths.)
The present lounge occup;es what
he knew as the "cracker box" or
gym. Outstanding in his memories
of the old basketball court and
indoor track is the night he whip-ped
Eric Borgeson in a fierce ser-ies
of "four horse" games.
Up stairs on the second floor, he
looked into 75 various class rooms.
How odd they seemed—empty and
silent. On one of the blackboards,
he read the noble, but erroneous
declension of "der, des, dem, der."
He knew exactly how the author
of it felt. He could laugh about it
now but it sure was agony at the
time.
"Well, one more look around,"
he said, and paused by the head
of the stairs. He turned to the
clock as it jumped ahead'
another minute. Those clocks al-ways
had a way of getting fast
when an eight o'clock class ruin-ed
those extra winks of sleep,
(and slow when the prof. became
particularly boring about noon).
With a half-sigh, half-chuckle,
he headed down the stairs.
"About time for the program,"
he said, but his mind was still
upstairs in the classroom, down-stairs
in the gymn. in. the
coffee shop, in the halls talking
with the gang .. .
Empty halls whisper his soft,
slow descent.
EUGENE SPRINKLE, junior,
says: "This prize money will be
just enough to zero out my ac-count
with the Minneapolis police
department on my overdue traffic
fines."
That was due to a big demand
for teachers in rural schools in
South Dakota. After graduation in
high school, I attended summer
school classes and then began
teaching in the fall.
On leaving the Invasion Army
I enrolled in a state teachers' col-lege.
There the Lord granted me
many opportunities to witness for
Him and the sacred privilege of
praying with various college stu-dents
for their salvation. However,
often I longed for Christian fel-lowship.
It couldn't be found on
that campus.
One morning while attending an
assembly program, I compared
that unholy program with a chapel
service at Bethel. It was then that
I decided to attend Bethel College.
Bethel is becoming more and
more a house of God. I consider
chapel services the highlight of
Bethel. I am assured by the peace
within that I am in His will by
being on this campus.

ROYAL BLOOM, professor of
psychology, says: "Due to individ-ual
differences and the great pro-bability
of winning this $10 (dis-covered
by latest statistical meth.
ods), I would say there is great
significance in winning this prize.
(I'll use the money toward
a new adding machine for my
statistics class.)"

The Smudge of Intramurals
The intramural program of our campus is still staggering around
in a blind daze after being kicked around for several years. Last year
an early attempt to rejuvenate it was made by the athletic council,
which later sought help from the athletic department. Regardless of
what assistance might have been extended, intramurals still finished
the year with a traditional bruised reputation.
Considering the "tell-taleness" of time alone, is this to conclude
that intramurals cannot succeed on our campus? There never will be
full participation? There never will be an accumulated interest? Maybe
some feel that because Bethel is peculiarly Christian in nature there
is no place for intramurals. Pity on such persons!
It's interesting that other evangelical schools can have successful
programs in operation. Yet, for some reason there is no evidence of
competitive interest and participation on our campus. There could be.
Why not adapt a program of intense competition that would even
reach out from intramurals to put a little life into some other com-petitive
laziness. That's an issue in itself to be dealt with later. But,
in considering an effective intramural program, it can't be overlooked.
Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina, has solved the
problem by forming literary societies. Membership is open, but is re-quired.
The societies, tagged with Greek letters, enter each phase of
campus life, but their impact is most keenly felt in intramurals.
Closer to home is Sioux Falls College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
which follows a tribal set-up very similar to the previously mentioned
literary societies. Although called a "tribal" set-up, membership is on
the same basis, open, but required
Successful? Tremendously.
In view of the critical need for some such program on our campus,
the following, adapted from the programs mentioned above, is submit-ted
for our consideration:
1. Four organizations for men and four organizations for women
shall be established on our campus to create active interest and parti-cipation
in intramurals (and other competitive campus functions).
2. These organizations shall have a membership maximum of not
more than 50 members.
3. All unmarried students of the college shall belong to one of
these organizations (special exceptions should be considered).
4. Students may be "rushed" by members for a period of one week.
Then, if not subscribed, students shall be designated to a group by an
athletic council.
5. The organizations shall reserve the right to name their own
group (certain restrictions should be made for consistency: Greek let-ters,
Indian names, etc.)
6. Regular organizational officers shall be elected by each group.
7. Each organization shall individually emphasize participation in
any competitive campus function.
If these suggestions meet with your favor, then drop a note in the
hallway across from the student affairs office. Why be a Moses in the
wilderness when there's a Canaan in view?
Look What You've Been Missing
Many students, and you may be one of them, are unaware of the
function of Bethel's cultural council. Let's get acquainted with the
council's activities.
Recognizing a need for cultural advancement, Bethel installed this
council the year before last; farsighted students and faculty realized
that we needed the council to round out the liberal arts college pro-gram.
The painting and photographs displayed in the coffee shop last
year, the lectures on art, and the cultural films shown in the chapel,
are credited to the council.
This year's plans are not yet complete, but the following will give
you an idea of their intentions.
An informative program is being planned on current political ques-tions.
Visiting lecturers in the area of theological thought are being
considered.
Good news by way of films this year too: the council will have
showings of a variety of educational films. Literary masterpieces and
films to satisfy the scientific-minded will be included. It has been
hinted that such nature films as Disney's Beaver Island may also be
shown.
Bethel's curriculum is well provided with activities in music;
therefore, the council feels the need for introducing the student to the
man behind the music. To complete our cultural development, we
should have a general knowledge of the great artists who have given
us so much of themselves.
Since we realize that in order to have a complete education and a
well developed social understanding we need to cultivate our cultural
interests. Let's "get behind" the cultural council and show them that
they have our support.
Why I Came to Bethel
By Pearl Anderson
My experiences in God's Invasion Army in 1951 opened my eyes to
my need to continue my education.
In introducing our group to the different churches, it was custom-ary
for each member to tell his name, state, previous occupation, and
favorite Bible verse. Each time my turn came, I sensed a peculiar un-comfortable
feeling. I wasn't ashamed of having taught a rural school,
but of the lack of preparation I had had.
I felt that the congregation ex-pected
me to have completed my
college training and I had scarcely
begun.

THE CLARION Paso 3
ta the edito4
Editor's note: In the last issue
of the CLARION someone asked
about off-campus rules for male
students. The context of the letter
explained that male students who
are on campus have no time-limits;
therefore, why should those who
are older and upper classmen be
bound by such rules? Miss Larson,
office manager, has explained that
the letters were merely sent by
mistake and were not intended
for the men at all.
Dear Editor:
Have you noticed the visiting
done among the students in chap-el
before the program begins? I'm
sure that no one has to be con-vinced
that it is highly disrespect-ful
to the Lord; they only need
to be reminded. I have really
been ashamed more than once be-cause
of all this noise especially
when we have had a guest speak-er.
There's something else that
needs to be mentioned here also;
students are reading their mail
during chapel! Last year Mr. Dal-ton
told the students in one of
his history classes: "I was shocked
to see some students reading their
mail in chapel today—while the
speaker was delivering a message
on 'Christian Ethics'!"
Dr. Bob Smith pointed out still
another matter. He said that the
speaker shouldn't feel obligated
to hold our attention.
Don't you feel that unnecessary
disturbances make the message
less effective and are distracting
to those who sincerely wish to
benefit from it?
Something really should be
done! It would be so good if the
reform came from within the stu-dent
body. Do you have any sug-gestions
on how they could be,
come more aware of this problem?
Editor's note: The only sugges-tion
is that examples could be set,
even by yourself. Certainly a few
individuals could at least introd-uce
the idea of reverence. Maybe
some people aren't aware of the
music which is played for medita-tion
and not as a background for
the roar that preceeds the service.
Dear editor:
I love to go to the chapel ser-vices
because I find them a vital
part of each day of school. But
back of the building because the
front seats are filled. Even though
I usually have to sit toward the
I don't mind sitting back there I
usually have a rough time hearing.
It isn't because of the noise
back there as much as it is from
having what seems to be an inad-equate
"PA" system that I can't
hear. Maybe the "PA" isn't turn-ed
on or maybe just not quite
enough.
I'm sure that the administration
is not aware of the fact that when
the chapel is filled to its capacity
it's extremely difficult to hear
much of the time. Perhaps you
could suggest to them either turn-ing
up the volume on the present
system or else getting an adequate
one.
Just one more word: most of
the time when the "PA" is on
the speakers aren't close enough
for the mike to pick up their voic-es
anyway. I'd like to profit from
chapel fully even when it's filled
to capacity.
M. S.
Editor's note: This letter and
the following one will be brought
to the attention of the business
office which handles these servic-es.
These two letters are good ex-amples
of the type of letters we
want to publish in the CLARION
to present student expression.
Dear Editor:
I have no objection to eating
lunch in gulps, but I have sympathy
for those people who sit nearby
and get splattered by the gulps
that miss. The reason for such
behavior is that I have a fifth
hour class. This demands a mad
dash to the dining hall so that I
may get to the head of the line.
After I find a seat and practic-ally
inhale my food, I say to some-one
next to me, "I have a fifth
hour class (burp); mind carrying
my tray?" and then leave before
he says "No." By then it's 12:15
p.m. and all the fourth hour class-es
have been dismissed. It takes
some fancy broken field running
to get my coat, go up the stairs,
and ultimately end up in the
class room (at a loss for air) on
time. Three minutes later my
stomach arrives.
All this could be removed for
not only me but also for a num-ber
which is sufficient to make
up a respectable football team. If
the dining hall were opened just
five minutes to twelve instead of
twelve, it would ease the pressure
on us considerably. Then we all
could find out what we're eating
while we're eating it.

Enrollment Falls Penny Pitch . . .
by Donn Goss
As in any off-year election (Congressional election), the most im-portant
question is, "Will the country support the party in power?"
This question has been even more dramatic this year because of special
emphasis by the President and Veep on the issue that the President's
program would be miserably lost if the country does not give him a
Republican congress to work with.
The CIO recently ran a poll to gauge the reaction of the country
to its labor-endorsed candidates, and to note, in general, any vote
trends in the country. The noted result was that the majority of the
people approve of President Eisenhower and his program; they also
think of the 83rd congress as having done a pretty good job. The
main irritation to the public was that the President had not done en-ough
to relieve unemployment. Still the CIO noted no national trend
toward the Democratic party.
Major Republican leaders, however, seem less confident. President
Eisenhower in a radio and TV speech in Los Angeles last week made
his most positive appeal to the nation to return a Republican congress
to Washington. Then, in a second address slated to be a non-partisan
plea for the public to get out and vote, he changed the text and bluntly
asked for a Republican congress.
Veep Nixon was pressing the issue in a four-day campaigning spree
in which he spoke to 15 cities and towns, stating the necessity of voting
Republican, Joseph Martin, speaker of the house, was also on an extend-ed
"Vote Republican" tour.
The signs seem to say the Repubicans are greatly worried about a
Democratic trend.
On the other hand, the Democrats are in the rather favorable posi-tion
of being to sit back and say, "See, you need us back." And, they
have been making these statements often to a nation easily swayed
by sentiment.
Still this talk is taking its toll and the worry of the Republicans
is well grounded. This shapes up as a very close, very interesting
election.
Official enrollment figures for
the fall quarter reveal a drop from
last year's enrollment.
There are 382 in the college
and 132 in the seminary. Of these
numbers eight are duplications—
that is, students who are attend-ing
classes in both the college and
the seminary. Therefore, the total
enrollment is 506.
. In the college there are 164
freshmen, 124 sophomores, 45 jun-iors,
37 seniors, 1 special student,
and 11 unclassified.
Much of the drop may be ac-counted
for in the decrease in
seminary enrollment, which was
159 last year. The college classes
have remained relatively stable ex-cept
for the senior class, where the
drop is largely due to last year's
small junior class.
Another interesting fact is that
the college has 228 men and 154
women.

Supremely important on Beth-el's
campus are worship and work
for Jesus Christ. Here spiritual
goals are set and spiritual life is
fostered.
Bethel's deyotional emphasis recurs in every day's a4tivities in many
ways. By gospel teams, children's work, and church attendance and
by fellowship in the dorms and the lounges we aim to please Him who
has called us to show ourselves approved.

A new intramural program for
Bethel has been announced by
Russ Sandblom, chairman of the
athletic council. The program, go-ing
into affect on Oct. 23, 1954,
will provide a system which will
be able to include all men and
women who are interested in par-ticipating
in intramural sports.

Russ explained that because of
the rapid growth of the student
body, and because so many stu-dents
have shown interest in intra-murals,
that the council feels they
should eliminate the old system
of dividing teams by the different
sections of the country. They also
feel that the new system will be
more efficient, teams will be mure
balanced, and those interested
will have a far greater chance to
participate.
The council has appointed 14
students whom they believe will
act as capable captains of their
respective teams. Sheets are post-ed
in both the dining hall and the
post office for signatures of those
who are interested.
Other members of the athletic
council are Clifford Anderson,
Darold Snyder, Carolyn Dahiquist,
Beverly Carlson, and Wally Peter-son,
faculty advisor.

Biggest Score This Year
As Royals Wallop Beadle
The Bethel Royals walloped General Beadle 34-0 on Oct. 2, 1954,
for one of their biggest victories in over two years.
In the first half Dave Eggen, end, tackled a Beadle player in the
end zone for a safety and shortly after caught a touchdown pass. Ed
Brunzell plunged over the goal line to give the Royal gridmen a half
time lead of 16-0.
Harley Adamson broke the game wide open in the second half
with two touchdowns; speedy halfback George Wessman raced across
the goal line for another score. Ed Brunzell accounted for two of the
Royals' extra points.
The 34-0 score rolled up against the teachers' college was the
highest made by the Royals since the team beat Emmetsburg, Iowa,
31-0 in 1952.

New Cheerleaders
Kay Hanson, Karen Olson, Lor-raine
Frantz, and Marilyn Carlson
were selected as cheerleaders af-ter
an hour of hard try-outs. The
judges also selected Pam Ever-burg
and Donna Anderson as al-ternates.
Over 16 contestants led cheers
both individually and in groups
for an hour before the selection
were made.
With this sampling of opinion,
there was found to be strong cur-rent
of support throughout the
campus, Thus the team will go in-to
tomorrow's homecoming game
with the realization that the
school is behind them.
Friday, October 15, 1954 THE CLARION Page 6 Royals Set for Homecoming Tilt
Northland Edges Bethel
The Bethel Royals bowed to a strong Northland eleven, 9-6, last
Saturday on their home field. The defeat was brought about by lack
of offensive punch in the clutch and a lucky Northland break.
Bethel, throughout the afternoon, was threatening the Lumberjacks
goal line, but managed only one touchdown to show their efforts. The
touchdown was scored by fullback Carl Sundeen in a hard smash from
the 2 yard line.
Northland, after having one of their punts roll dead on the Bethel
three, was able to trap Harley Adamson behind the goal for a safety.
They also scored shortly after the second half kickoff.

Douglas "Dauntless" Dalton is
one of the men who supply the
beef for the football team. This
giant rises to a height of 6'5" and
tips the scales at 205 lbs. A veter-an
of three years, he is one of
the main-stays of the right side
of the line. He played three years
of prep ball at Wisconsin Rapids,
Wisconsin. Doug, a 20 year old
junior, is majoring in literature
and psychology.
Starting at left tackle this year
is Vern Peterson. As a 19-year-old
junior, 6' 1", 180 lbs., Vern
is planning on a coaching career
and a teaching position in the
field of social studies. He played
two years of prep ball at Aitkin,
Minnesota. Following his prep ex-perience
is two years of college
ball. His drive, determination,
and experience make him one of
the reliables of the forward wall.
As in former years, the team
will go into the game as under-dogs.
However, with the impetus
of Homecoming and with the sup-port
of a loyal and enthusiastic
student body, the gridders will
attempt to off-set the odds.
Thus far this year, the Royals
have turned in a two won-two lost
record. Having won their tilts with
Itasca and General Beadle, while
losing to Jamestown and North-land,
they will endeavor to im-prove
their record.
Coach Lynn Lundin has felt that
the team has shown good hustle
and steady improvement this sea-son.
He also states that the boys
can score a homecoming victory
if they really want to.
When some of our loyal Bethel
boosters were asked their opinion
of this year's team, the following
reactions were received:
Carol Engholm, sophomore —
"We have a good line." Lorraine
Franz, freshman and cheerleader
"We are particularly strong at the
guard position." Don Stipe, junior
--"Neto." Walfred Peterson, pol-itical
science instructor—"A decid-ed
improvement over last year."
Eric Borgeson, custodian—"Well,
I tink de do all right."
Wahpeton Opponent
by Eugene Sprinkle
The 1954 homecoming game, to be played by a determined group
of gridders, will be witnessed by a crowd of enthusiastic alumni, for
mer students, faculty, and this year's student body. The Bethel eleven
is out to break a three year jinx of failing to win a Homecoming
game. Their opposition will be supplied by a strong Whapeton teacher's
college from North Dakota.
