New College Concert Band To Give
Program from Varied Musical Periods
Conference On Ministry
Gives Setting for Choice
Madsen Takes
Presidency In
Senate Election
The results of the Senate elec-tions
were announced at the Koffee
Kup game last Friday night by out-going
president Bob Beckstrom.
Royal Realist Bill Madsen defeat-ed
Jim Keim in the race for the
presidency, receiving over 300 of
the 482 votes cast. Returning for
his third year in the senate will
be Roger Waldenstrom as vice-president
elect. He served as treas-urer
last year.
Bert Heep who served in the
senate last year as president of the
Junior class will return this year
as campus coordinator.
In an election first, Jonelle Ol-son
was elected treasurer, the first
female to hold that office.
Elected to the five member-at-large
posts were Mike Rynkiewich,
Warren McMullen, Phil Linden,
Cabot Dow, and Dennis Wall.
A varied program of selected
music from different periods will
be presented by the Bethel Concert
Band, Friday evening at 8:00, in
the Fieldhouse.
Director Julius Whittinger com-ments
that this year's sixty piece
band "represents the most com-plete
instrumentation of any band
we've had at Bethel." He added that
"I have sensed a real desire on
the part of the band members
to produce what should be the
finest cioncert we've had thus
far."
The concert will begin with
"Hymn Festival," arranged by
Hawley Ades, chief arranger for
the Fred Waring orchestra. G. F.
Handel's "Water Music Suite"
will be played from the Baroque
Era.
Representing a different mood,
the "Italian Polka," by the Roman-tic
Russian composer Rachmaninoff
will be presented. Featuring the
percussion section will be the

Robert Hale, award winning bass-baritone
will be appearing in Con-cert
at the Trinity Baptist Church
Saturday, April 10th, at 8 p.m.
Hale, in the short time since
he became a professional singer
has won numerous awards. In Feb-ruary
of 1964, Hale was chosen by
Maestro George Schict, conductor
of the Metropolitan Opera, as first
place winner of the New England
Metropolitan Opera Auditions.
Maestro Schict said, "It was an
easy choice."
Among his other awards are the
Wilson Award from the Bloch
Young Artists Competition and
the Amarillo Symphony Young ,
Artist Award. In 1962, he won
the much sought after title of
"Singer of the Year" in national
competition at Los Angeles.
Now living in Boston, Hale re-cently
appeared in concert at the
famed Jordan Hall. His outstand-ing
rendition of the role Olive
Blitch in the Boston production
of "Susannah" brought Rise Ste-vens
of the Metropolitan Opera
to view this talent in action.
He now has over a dozen lead-ing
roles to his credit with more

Two hundred collegians are ex-pected
to attend Bethel Seminary's
second annual College Conference
on the Christian Ministry to be
held Friday and Saturday, April
9 and 10.
Ron Brisson, Chairman of the
Seminary Senate Enlistment Com-mittee,
explains the purpose of
the conference: "We want the
conference to provide an atmos-phere
where a collegian can make
a more knowledgeable decision
concerning the ministry."
He also stated that the purpose
of the conference was not only
to desire definite consideration
of the ministry as a vocation,
but also to help those who attend
to gain a better understanding
of God's mission for their lives.'
Registration for the conference
begins at 8 o'clock Friday morn-ing.
The morning will be spent
visiting seminary classes. The Sem-inary
will also join the college
for a combined chapel service with
Ethel Barrett.
Following the chapel period,
Dean Johnson will address the con-ference
on the topic, The Seminary
In a Changing World. Particular
attention will be given to what
the seminary is doing to prepare
men to minister.
Continuing under the theme,
The Ministry In a Changing
World, the attention will be fo-cused
on the changing seminary
curriculum. Areas of considera-tion
will include: Interpretation
of the Christian Faith, Sources
of the Christian Faith, and Ap-plication
of the Christian Faith.
Presenting the layman's point of
view on the ministry in a chang-ing
world will be Robert Van Hoef,
Executive Director of the St. Paul
Metropolitan Improvement Commit-tee.
The title of his discussion is,
A Layman Speaks Out About the
Ministry.
Rev. Bruce Fleming, Executive
Secretary of the Minnesota Bap-tist
Conference, will present the
pastor's understanding of the task
of the professional ministry in
our changing world under the
theme, The Minister In a Changing
World.
There will be ample time for
frank, crtical interaction between
seminarians and the attending
American opera group. Though
opera appeals strongly to him,
he is equally moving in a wide
range of material. His mastery
of style from Bach to the Broad-way
musical, from Mozart and
German Lied to the Verdi aria
and American folksongs, h a s
proven his versatility.
Hale's talent is perhaps best
summed up by Louis Choipin of
the Christian Science Moniter. He
says of Hale, "His is a baritone of
considerable richness and he sur-rounds
it with a suitable stillness
of bearing—with power and flex-ibility.
Hale can open up with-out
sacrificing color—it's singing
all the way." All students, faculty,
and staff may acquire free tickets
in the coffee shop at the ticket
booth between 10:35 a.m. and 2:00
p.m. Monday through Friday, April
5 through 9. Persons may at that
time also sign up for free bus
transportation.
All other tickets will be on sale
for $1.50 each.
collegians throughout the day.
A special discussion to encourage
_ such participation has been
scheduled under the leadership
of seminarian Paul Johnson.
Students will gain more intimate
contact with the life of the sem-inarian,
and the minister, after
Friday's sessions. Supper invita-tions
are open to all in the homes
of Seminary faculty and students.
Saturday's program consist of
morning tours of varied minis-tries
in the Twin Cities. The tour
includes the new Bethel Seminary
complex, the Minnesota Baptist
Conference Headquarters, P 1 y-mouth
Youth Center, Central Bap-tist
Church, Elim Baptist Church,
and the ministry of Chaplain Hoag-burg
at Midway Hospital.
Student are urged to avail them-selves
of the opportunities of all
or a part of the conference.
Guthrie Lecturer
Talks on Drama
On Monday, April 12th, as part
of Wallace Nelson's introduction
to the unit on Drama in Freshman
Composition, freshman English
students will be priviledged to hear
a guest lecturer, Henry A. McNally,
Ford Foundation Administrative In-tern
of the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre
in Minneapolis.
McNally is a graduate of
Monmouth College in Monmouth,
Illinois, where he was technical
director of the College Theatre.
He also studied for one year at
the American Academy of Drama-tic
Arts.
McNally, who lias done act-ing
and technical directing in both
summer resident theaters and in
reperitory theaters, will lecture on
the topic. "Repertory Theatre."
His lecture will be highlighted
by the showing of the twenty-five
minute color film, "Miracle in
Minnesota." The film describes the
beginnings of the Tyrone Guthrie
Theatre in Minnesota and shows
exerpts from some of the plays
performed during its first season.
This special lecture, planned
specifically by Nelson for his
Freshman Composition students en-rolled
in sections 104-A and in
104-B will be open to all interested
students and will certainly be a
rewarding experience for all those
who attend.
The film will be shown in the
College Auditorium on Monday,
April 12th, at both 1:00 p.m. and
2:00 p.m.
Language Club
Presents Film
On Tuesday, April 13, the French
Club will present the film, "Les
Miserables," in Room 212 at 7:00
p.m. The film is based on "Les
Miserables," one of Victor Hugo's
better known novels and one of
the world's greatest masterpieces
of literature.
It depicts the poverty of the
peasant class in France in the
nineteenth century. Hugo's social
ideas that men are essentially equal
and that the poor are crushed by
the prejudices of organized society
are exemplified in the convict
Valjean, the main character.
The film will be presented in
English. It is open to the entire
student body and everyone is en-couraged
to attend.

Convocations Promote
Goals of Liberal Education
Augsburg Reviewers C
As Adequate, Although
by Mark Landa and scene in the first act. Here the
Dick Mork lines and actions of the family
The perennial problem of attendance at convocations was
vividly demonstrated again at Dr. Timothy Smith's Public Af-fairs
Week appearance, attended by less than one-fourth of the
student body. Students give as reasons for not attending con-vocations
the feeling that they're too academic, or not related
to spiritual topics, or not related to their particular field.
The purpose of a liberal arts education is an introduction
to the wide range of human experience and endeavor and to
gain an awareness of interrelationships between fields. A
liberal arts education is person-oriented rather than vocation
oriented.
This unique dedication to developing the whole person
is a particularly relevant concept for the Christian college
in an educational world fast turning to specialization, material
status symbols and the amoral multiversity. Today the
task of maintaining the meaning and morality of Christian
idealism increasingly falls to the committed Christian liberal
arts college.
This does not mean the absorption of or even adherence
to intellectual panaceas developed for other times and places.
It does precipitate a conscientious search for those areas of
critical need in which concentrated effort can erect bridges
of penetration to our culture for the gospel of Christ.
Convocations at Bethel College are a practical way of
helping to realize the ultimate objective of education here.
This means that all presentations are of interest—although
not always interesting.
Since the convocation speakers are invited by the same
administration in whom we have placed our educational
future, or our elected student representatives, they ought
to be of interest to every student. Since one obviously cannot
sample every field in his elective courses, the role of the
convocation in fulfilling this task is even more important.
The maximization of inter-disciplinary study opportunities
especially in small group interchange like honors seminars
is one of the earmarks of high quality education in the liberal
arts. The approximate student attendance at small group
disci-cussions with convocation speakers this semester has
averaged less than two dozen.
In case you hadn't noticed, you're probably not getting
your money's worth educationally. But then, we know all
moral and spiritual values are priceless anyway .. .

Family Portrait, a religious
drama depicting three reactions of
Christ's immediate family to his
final years on earth, was presented
April 3, by the Bethel College
Royal Players.
In the midst of the current Len-ten
season, the play attempted to
combine the timelessness of the
biblical narrative and the utter
trust in Christ of the mother Mary,
Although she was faced with
domestic squabbles and harassed
by nosy neighbors, Mary endured
to the end, never questioning
the actions of Jesus. Her per-severing
faith transcended the
trivial concerns of those around
her, but she did not remove her-self
from their problems.
Connie Oosterbaan, as Mary, por-trayed
the Christian's twofold de-mand
of maintaining simple faith
in Christ and, at the same time,
facing the perplexities of every-day
life. Whatever success the play
achieved can be traced to her quiet
domination as the unifying force.
Her silent, but strong portrayal
gave strength to the breakfast
To the Editor:
The series initiated by the Reli-gious
committee on love, court-ship,
marriage, and sex, was just
completed Monday evening.
Our thanks go to many people.
Six speakers took time to prepare
and present a discussion of their
topics. Each of the residences
assisted in serving refreshments
and taking charge of the meetings.
The Clarion gave more complete
coverage than one could ask —
articles, two excellent reviews.
But the burden of planning all
this was carried by Ron Nelson
and Dick Schultz. To them goes my
special public thanks, for it was
they who took the time and trouble
to make the series what it be-came.
They would protest, though, if
I didn't try to state our hope that
these seminars might help us all
to a more intelligent and reverent
members were more spontaneous
than at any other point in the play.
This was the only scene in
which the reactions of Joesph
seemed appropriate in the flow
of action. He did not appear
mature enough to convey the
parental image and tended to
overact.
Bo Tunestam as James used de-lightful
facial expressions and de-veloped
into a consistent stereo-type
of warped piety.
The roles of Simon and Judah
fulfilled the demands that were
required, but Simon was entirely
too stiff and self-conscious, while
Judah did not reveal the needed
power in the climactic scene in
which he affirmed his hatred of
Jesus. Janet Appelquist as Mary
Cleophas, Mary's confidant, was
appropriately cast to grant hu-morous
relief.
Although these supporting
roles were acceptable, perhaps
the most effective performances
were the minor characters of
Mathias, Anna, Hepzibah, Morde-cai,
and the Rabbi. As a parasi-tic
peddler who followed the
crowds of Jesus, Mathias' voice
and reaction constitued the only
regard for the holiness of human
love.
James Keim
Religious Committee Co-ordinator
Peterson Urges
More Chapels
To the Editor:
The purpose of this letter is to
discuss the issue of Chapel pro-grams
and their relationship to
Chapel attendance. The basic cause
for low attendance, in my opinion
and in the opinion of many other
students, is that chapel is not al-ways
chapel.
Instead of chapel worship ser-vices,
we often have convocations,
lectures on various topics and class
meetings. These things are fine
in their places, but must we have
them during our chapel hour?
For myself I look forward to
this hour as a time of worship and
spiritual blessing. In order to get
this I often have to attend chapel
at St. Paul Bible College. Many
other students are forced to go
to their rooms and listen to North-western
Chapel Hour on KTIS.
Thus, we can see that low chapel
attendance does not necessarily
mean that Bethel students a r e
growing cold spiritually. Instead
it may be just the opposite. Could
it be that evangelical students are
forced to worship elsewhere be-cause
our chapel services cannot
be counted on to be worship ser-vices?
I wrote this letter to see if
there are other students or faculty
members who share my views. It
could be that I'm alone on the
subject. I would have expressed
my views to Pastor Glenn and the
chapel committee, but I'm afraid
that I may have been viewed as
an isolated rebel with reactionary
ideas, which might very well be
the case. Therefore, I'm bringing
my view before the Bethel corn-munity
to see if I'm a part of the
main stream or just a reactionary
of the Right.
Gordon Peterson
ritique Play
Poor Choice
true prototype in the play be-sides
Mary.
The child-like reactions of Anne
were natural and the hypocritical
neighborliness of Hepzibah gave
interest to the platter-borrowing
scene. Mordecai's appearance was
brief, yet most impressive. The
Rabbi, again a stereotype, con-veyed
a spirit of hypocritical ser-iousness.
In contrast to the strength of
the breakfast scene, the scene in
the upper room was highly dis-satisfying.
Mary lost her effec-tiveness
here, displaying forced
gestures.
The final scene of the play
also left something to be desired.
The bouncing, rushed interrup-tion
of Judah and his wife bust-ling
across the stage was just
bad theatre.
Technically, the play had its
faults. The audience was forced to
sit too long in darkness while
the opening scene was being pre-pared.
It was unfortunate that the
cast had to stumble about in dark-ness
without the benefit of a cur-tain
between scenes.
Even more regretable, how-ever,
was the selection of Family
Portrait as a college production.
The overall impact of this play
as a work of art was comparable
to a Sunday School pageant.
Much of the difficulty can be
traced to the playwright's inability
to create realistic dialogue. At
times the conversations were like
those of any Anglo-Saxon, white
Protestant family. At times they
were strictly King James English.
This superimposing of the King's
English on the common idiom
reached a nauseous low when Ju-das
Iscariot made his declaration
of love for the Saviour during an
ordinary conversation with Mary.
Suddenly he started to quote scrip-ture:
"For me, He is the beginning
and the end. I would die for Him."
In view of the limited facilities
and the even more limited drama
as religious expression, the cast
and crews of the Royal Players
rose to the occassion and survived
miraculously.

Bach's "Passion According to St. John" will be heard Thursday evening
at the Cathedral Church of St. Mark in downtown Minneapolis.
Gerald Bales will direct the Cathedral Choir, a seventeen piece
orchestra made up of musicians from the Minneapolis Symphony, and
several soloists from the area. One of the highlights of the performance
for Bethel students is the appearance of Kent Lundholm, Bethel tenor,
singing the part of Pilate.

"Winter" from the "Four Seasons" and Bartok's Sonata for Two Pianos
and Percussion.
Northrop Auditorium at the University is the scene of a recital
by pops pianist Roger Williams and his ensemble. This performance
is in conjunction with the Artist's Course of the University.

Madsen Assumes Leadership Post;
Predicts Productive Year for Senate
by Nancy Appelquist
Last week's Student Senate elec-tions
gave the position of next
year's president to Bill Madsen, a
junior from Lakefield, Minnesota.
He is a psychology major and has
been active in campus life since
coming to Bethel three years ago.
Included in a list of his accom-plishments
are two years of ser-vice
on the Student Senate, chair-man
of the Academic Council,
chairmanship of the Student Life
Council, second vice-president of
the Senate, and member of the
Editorial Policies Committee.
He has also served as Student
Representative to the Publica-tions
Board and as manager of
the "Jester" team in the intra-mural
program.
Concerning prospects for next
year's Senate, he commented: "the
slate of officers looks quite good.
I'm impressed with the group, and

feel they will be congenial to work
with. We're hoping of accomplish-ments
in many areas."
Among tentative Senate projects
for next year is a series of dis-cussion
groups dealing with differ-ent
aspects of Christianity. Sub-jects
will range from the thought
of eminent theologians such as
Tillich to an examination of hymn-ology.
General tenor of the dis-cussions
will be informal, but will
follow organized lines.
Another project in mind is
the preparation of a handbook
for students, incorporating some
of the informative features of
the present "Bethel Rester" and
acquainting new students with
various college activities.
Madsen is highly optimistic
about possibilities for greater inter-action
between Senate and student.
He looks forward to next semester
as an opportunity to make all
Bethelites aware of the Senate's
concern with the "live issues" of
campus life.

On a rainy, dismal April 3rd the
Bethel Track Team had its first
meet, against Augsburg on the
indoor track at Carleton in North-field.
Running for the first time
in a fieldhouse, the team lost 76 2/3
to 35 1/3. The results, however, were
not as dismal as the day.
To start the meet Bob Chryst
took second in the mile and Cap-tain
Jack Buss placed second in
the shot put. Buss threw 40' 5 3/4 ".
Next came the high jump and pole
vault events.
Bethel swept the high jump
with Dave Bjorkland jumping
5'8" for first, Larry Peterson
and Tim Williams took second
and third respectively. On a pole
vault attempt at 10'6" Ron Berg-men
badly sprained his right
ankle. After consistently going
12' last year Ron had to settle
for second at 10'.
In the 500 yd. dash Art Dykstra
took a third and in the 60 yd. dash
Jim Hammar took third with a
time of 6.6. Andy Lehman took
second in the 60 yd. high hurdles
and Bjorklund took second in the
60 yd. low hurdles. Their times
were 8.5 and 7.7 respectively. The
time was a Bethel record f o r
Bjorklund since the event had not
been run before.
Though he did not place, Dave
Moss set the Bethel record in run-ning
the 280 yd. dash. In the two-

Coach Owen Halleen, who last week resigned as Bethel's head
football coach, with the 1964 tri-captains, Stan Miller, Larry Stair and
Duane Gibson. Miller was the team's most valuable player and leading
ground gainer and Gibson was named to the NAIA Region 13 All-Star
team.
with Ron Harris
With the news of Coach Halleen's resignation as head football
coach last week, several seniors, who have played for several years
under him, were asked to give their opinions of those years under his
direction. Their words are printed below.
Stan Miller: "I thank God for the opportunity to play football at
Bethel under Coach Halleen. This has been an experience which I will
not soon forget. It has confirmed my belief that coaching is a vital
ministry. Coach Halleen made us aware of our purpose in football-v,
hich was to play for Christ.
"He instilled in us a determination to always do our best, win or
lose. By initiating a pre-season camp we experienced a team unity
which no other Bethel team possessed. The football gospel team was
organized because the coach gave us a vision of ministering both off
and on the field. Thank you, coach, for this Christian learning ex-perience."
Larry Stair: "Playing football for Christ? Who can explain what
that really means? It is difficult to put into words one's deepest feelings.
Athletics has been a prominent area of my life and the "Little Guy" has
made a deep impression on this important area. I would like to say
a heart-felt thanks to the one coach who has enabled me to better
serve Him."
Lowell Gause: "It was hard and good to play football under Coach
Halleen, both physically and spiritually. He demanded an all-out effort
in both areas, while still maintaining an understanding of our weak-nesses.
He left always the sense of a prize to be won—the prize of
self-realization—the understanding of knowing in your heart whether
you had done your best to the glory of God."
To those who have never played football under a Christian coach
with the mission of serving Christ, such language above is but foolish-ness.
But ask any of the players and they will concur that playing
ball under Owen Halleen was a "Christ-glorifying" effort.
What finer tribute to a man than the sentiment expressed by Stan,
Larry and Lowell. Their tributes echo from many athletes, both past
and present.
Halleen Reflects On Career;
Plans To Remain Sideline Fan
by Ron Harris
"All the games I've coached are memorable for different things",
claimed Owen Halleen, who only last week announced his resignation
as head football coach in order to enter the field of education.
"In 1960, many of the games stick in my mind. We were outmanned
but yet never lost by more than one touchdown." Fans of Bethel
football will remember that this was the first year the small statured
coach made his appearance at Bethel.
In 1961, Coach Halleen recalled the second game of the season
in which his team took a whalloping (31-6) as "one of the hardest
defeats to accept that year." 1962 held a vivid memory as the team
played undefeated Wapheton and, thanks to a superb play by Dave
Cox in the final seconds, downed Wapheton 14-7.
The game played against Valley City in 1963 was Coach Halleen's
"most bitter memory of football." In that game, the Royals had
four disputed touchdowns called back in the second half. The Royals
lost that contest, 13-7. Searching through his memories of 1964, he
recalled the game against Morris as "the best game played yet."
A graduate of Taft High School in Chicago, Coach Halleen, following
his family tradition, entered Wheaton in 1952. Having played three
years of football in high school, he went out for football at Wheaton
and played four years. It was here that he broke his arm tangling
with a 300 lb. lineman in the Annual Alumni game. As Owen remembers
the incident, ("maybe I did clip him") another alumnus took off his
helmet and walked right off the field.
He entered graduate school at the University of Illinois in 1957,
and it was here that he met his wife-to-be and was married two days
before she graduated. Shirley claimed that the first time she
met Owen he was in the girl's dorm kissing another girl. The Coach,
however, has a slightly different version. He claims that he had
taken her to a hockey game on Friday night, and before noon of the
very next morning, she was going steady with another guy.
Reflecting on his past thirteen years in football, Coach Halleen
glumly forecast that, "the fall will seem a little bare this year without
my active participation in football." In his five years here at Bethel,
the stocky coach has built the Royals into what the St. Paul papers were
describing last year as "the best team in the Twin Cities." Modestly,
however, Owen claimed that "whatever success we've had, as a team,
has been due to the type of guys we have here at Bethel. My role as
a coach has been minimal in comparison with that of the fellows. Games
are won and lost on the field."
For the first time in its history, a Bethel team received national
recognition on the NAIA ratings while he was coaching. Before his
appearance at Bethel, the teams never finished better than even
for the season. The record of 26-14, the last 21 out of 25 victories in
the past three years, attests to the difference in the caliber of football.
Coach Halleen shifted restlessly in his office, groping for words
to express his sentiment. Finally, he stated "One of the greatest
things I've received from the coaching of football is the friendship of
the players and the people involved. I only hope this hasn't been
severed because of my withdrawal from active football."
Even as he stated these words, numerous scenes of "the little guy"
standing amidst the barrage of forty-five players and their towering
equipment, the endless anxious looks cast from the sidelines, the "good
times" at foo'tball camp, and the scene of a coach lending encouragement
after a defeat, jumped into my mind.
