Johnson is in charge of this
part of the program and various
students have been chosen to
play the parts of faculty mem-bers
of the Junior College.
Friday afternoon sophomore and
freshmen boys will compete in a
sand-hauling contest. Lowell "Red"
Marquardt and Glen "Shine" swan-son
will act as captains of their
respective teams.
At six o'clock in the eve-ning
the annual homecoming
dinner will be served in the
chapel. Rev. Aymond Ander-son
of Marinette, Wisconsin,
will be the speaker.
The traditional basketball game
will follow the dinner. Coach Bill
Adam is in charge of the alumni
team.
All dormitory rooms are to be
gaily decorated and a prize is be-ing
offered for the best-looking
room.
Prayer, Mission
Plans Completed
Plans for Prayer and Mission
day, to be observed October 23,
are being completed is the report
of Miss Esther Sabel, chairman of
the committee.
The services of Mrs. Lera B.
Friedenian and Miss Linnea Nel-son,
a sister of Professor Fridolph
Nelson, have been secured. Mrs.
Friedenian was a missionary in
Central Europe for several years.
Miss Nelson is a missionary from
China. The committee also hopes
to get two missionaries from Afri-ca
and one Russian refugee to
speak on Prayer and Mission day.
Special music, vocal and instru-mental,
will be furnished by the
school.
The morning meeting begins at
10 a.m., continues at 1:15 o'clock
with the last session scheduled for

Don't Be Discouraged,
Never Give Up—Motto
Given By Upshaw
The Hon. William D. Upshaw,
former Congressman from Georgia,
and candidate for President of the
United States on the Prohibition
ticket in 1932, was the speaker at
Friday's chapel service. His mag_
netic personality and dynamic
speaking demonstrated that it
would take more than a severe
spine injury and seven long years
on his back in bed to make him
admit defeat.
He brought to us an all too
brief message on the manli-ness
and womanliness of ab-stinence
of alcoholic beverages
and cigarettes. "One of the
greatest virtues that a woman
can have is a pure, clean and
wholesome life. The same
holds true for the men." The
orator-on-crutches is known
throughout the United States
as a versatile and powerful
speaker. He is a temperance
lecturer and an inspiring
preacher.
Wherever he has gone, he has
been welcome with enthusiasm and
acclaimed as the renowned re-former
in the United States today.
He has been called a successor to
William Jennings Bryan, a master
orator of his day.
One of the first impressions
gained from his short appear-ance
in the chapel service was
that of a great thinker, com-bined
with a humorist to make
a justly famous personality.
His ready wit and sparkling
ideals kept the students in a
spirit of rapt attention.
When asked about his views on
the present preparedness legisla-tion,
he remarked: "Peace and
preparedness? Of course every
sane American wants peace—the
same kind of peace that Pres.
Roosevelt wants for Europe, but
not such a peace as opposes war
under all conditions.

Bloomquist Recovers ;
Hammerbeck Leaves
Alrik Blomquist is again in
classes after a short detour to the
Midway hospital. He was injured
in an intramural football game a
week ago Wednesday. Five days
he spent in the hospital suffering
from a slight concussion. He re-sumed
his regular class schedule
last Thursday.
Bernard Hammerbeck found it
necessary to return to his home on
the West coast after he also was
confined to a hospital during a se-vere
siege of pneumonia. He ex-pected
to attend Bethel this year,
but his illness forced him to aban-don
his plans.
The lesser nations of Europe
have found out to their great
sorrow what a tragedy it was
not to be prepared. Such dic-tators
as Hitler, Mussolini and
Stalin who care no more for
human life than flies, have
proven that they understand
but one language, and that
language is force. This nation
owes not only to itself but all
nations of the world to prove
that fortified democracy has
and will not fail under the
American flag.
The Hon. Mr. Upshaw expressed
his opinion in the presidential race
by: "There are great men run-ning,
but as a Christian man I feel
obligated to vote for the only "dry"
candidate, Roger Babson. This
man is a devout Christian; a lead-er
of supreme Christian men. Bab-son
is the greatest man ever nomi-nated
by the Prohibition Party in
its 70 year history. In fact, no
party ever nominated a greater or
nobler man!"
At present, Upshaw is trav-eling
around the country giv-ing
his prohibition message to
civic groups. His specialty,
however, is giving lectures to
schools and to the young peo-ple.
Upshaw will speak at the New
York World's Fair, October 19,
over a national hookup. The pro-gram
in which he is participating
is a commemoration of Yorktown's
capture at the hands of George
Washington.
Brain, Nerve Electricity
Demonstrated Tonight
C. E. Jones brings to Bethelites
tonight at 8:00 o'clock, the latest
experiments in the field of elec-tricity.
He will bring, with his
newly designed amplified and turn
table, a fine demonstration of good
sound—What good sound is, with
an explanation of how sounds are
perfected or distorted, how the
high tones of the voice can be
brought through the amplifier low
and likewise the low tones high.
The demonstration of scrambled
speech, which follows Good Sound,
shows the effect of words as they
are passed through an inverter
and come out of the loud speaker
scranf.)1cd, the same principle
which is used in transcontinental
telephoning.
Silent sounds, such as sounds
which cannot be heard ordinarily,
but through amplification become
extremely audible, will also be
demonstrated. Perhaps one of the
most outstanding experiments is
Jones' demonstration of the photo-electric
cell—talking over a light
beam or narrowcasting.
Nerve electricity is also brought
before the audience through the
facilities of amplifiers and the
cathode ray tube. Electricity gen-erated
by the nervous system will
be heard and seen.
The climax of the program will
be the entirely new demonstration
of electroencephalography. This
is brain electricity in which elec-trodes
are placed on the head of a
student, and the wave form of
thinking is shown by the cathode
ray tube as he works a problem in
mental arithmetic.
According to the University of
Minnesota this program, including
the thundering heart beat, brings
an entertainment of the highest
cultural value in the field of sci-ence.
Sympathy
The CLARION staff and the
student body wish to extend
deepest sympathy to Miss Enid
Platts on the death of her
grandfather.

Meditation HOBBY HORSE jR8 INgSa thotgow EDITORIAL
"But when day was now break-ing,
Jesus stood on the beach; yet
the disciples knew not that it was
Jesus." John 21:4.
"The day was breaking." Every
night has a daybreak, every dark-ness
its dawning, every period of
gloom and despair and desponden-cy
has an end. "Joy cometh in the
morning." There have been just
as many dawns as there have been
midnights since the world began.
The deepest shadow comes just be-fore
the morning light. When we
are ready to yield to despair and
say, "Nothing better awaits us,"
then rises the morning star, fol-lowed
by the rays of the glorious
sun.
The disciples had been strugg-ling
all night. They were tired,
hungry, cold, depressed. Their re-cent
loss of their Lord by death
had made their life gloomy indeed.
They had gone back to their form-er
trade of fishermen. Peter
thought, I may not make much of
a preacher but I can fish. The
sons of Zebedee felt the same way
and so did the other disciples.
But thier hands seemed to have
lost their skill. Ne'er a fish did
they catch that night. Fishermen's
luck is hard to explain. You must
go where the fish are ,offer them
what they want, when they want
it, in the way they will take it. In
spite of the disciples' efforts,
"That night they took nothing."
Then came the breaking of the
day and "Jesus stood on the
beach." John does not say how
Jesus got there; he simply says,
"Jesus stodd on the beach." Is it
not a blessed thought that Jesus
is near when we need Him most,
and that He does not always wait
until we call?
Perhaps Jesus had stood there
all the while but the shadows and
the saddened outlook of the disci-ples
had concealed His beneficent
form. It is hard for us to realize
the presence of eJsus in the dark
hour of despair and disappoint-ment.
The Lord is nearer than
ever on such occasions. Lord, let
these eyes always be open to Thy
glorious presence. Let it never be
said that we did not recognize Thy
presence.
Why did the disciples not know
esusJ? Their thoughts were far
from His living presence. They
were gloomily occupied with the
toil of their hands. Their look was
downward into the waters. Their
minds were occupied with fish. We
often say that people receive what
they seek after, but in this case
the disciples failed even in this.
They failed to recognize Jesus and
they failde to get the fish.
A man should be diligent in his
business but he should also make
religion his business. While we
look down in search of food, let
us also look up and see the sun-light
of His presence; when we
look down as we seek raiment, let
us also look up Into the face of
the Master, who feeds the birds
of the air and who clothes the
flowers of the valley more mag-
By Caroline Dilgard
Not long ago we noticed a thick
blue book being passed "around
among the students. Some strange
reaction appeared. Uusually after
a student had glance dinto the
book for a few seconds, he or she
would run up to Olga Anderson
and thrust the book at her with
the comment, "Boy, for good!" or
some similar remark.
Naturally, we wanted to know
what was going on so we asked
Olgo to let us see the book. The
title of it is THE WORLD'S FAIR
ANTHOLOGY OF VERSE. We
learned that Miss Anderson had
submitted three poems in a verse-writing
contest and that one had
been accepted and published in
this anthology. We liked the poem
very much and asked permission
to quote it here.

nificently than Solomon ever was
clothed. His presence and His
words of wisdom will lend success
to our efforts. When the disciples
became aware of His presence and
obeyed the behest of their Lord,
then did they also catch fish in
abundance, and their whole out-look
became changed.
"Keep your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face;
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and

Staffs to Hold Pow-wow
The Publication staff of both the
CLARION and the SPIRE will hold
a Pow Wow at Battle Creek Park
on Friday 'evening, October 18.
A short program, with talks and
games followed by lunch, has been
planned. After the lunch a devo-tional
period will be led by Gerald
Larsen.
PREPARE FOR WHAT
War—Peace
Momorrow we register under
the provisions of the Selective
Service Traing act. Each male be-tween
the ages of 21 and 36 must
report at his last place of voting
unless this is inconvenient, in
which case the must register at the
voting place nearest to his present
residence. Failure to comply
makes the offender liable to a fine
up to $10,000.
The conscription bill raises a
question of supreme importance
to every patriotic American. Will
the draft help solve our problem?
Will conscription insure peace? Or,
will there be a precipice at the end
of this preparedness stampede?
In the first place, what are we
preparing for, WAR or PEACE?
If we don't want to fight, then why,
roll up our sleeves? No one with
a determination to get what ,he
wants has been pacified by seeing
his opponent take off his coat and
vest.
Secondly, why are we prepar-ing?
We're afraid Japan will reach
out her back door and call a few
islands hers which we also want.
When I was a child, I remember
how parents would discipline self-ish
children. Maybe we Americans
wouldn't begrudge another the
right to live better if someone
would' discipline us a bit. What
special merit can we, pleasure-mad
and leisure-minded men, present
before an impartial God that gives
us first claim to Creation's choic-est
resources? This talk about the
"status quo" — according to that,
this country should still belong to
the Indians.
I hope our readers don't misun-derstand.
I hold in highest esteem
Washington and his revolutionists,
but let's make sure we bear as
worthy a banner and arm for as
noble a cause.
Mice and Things
Herr Editor informs me that I
should broaden my column to in-clude
the entire school—so here
goes a discussion of "things."
Harriet Anderson, that demure
pianist, is very much interested in
criminology—at least she waves at
policemen. Our boy-scout is an
excellent duck hunter—out of sea-son.
Of interest to the boarding
club, M. A. L. (table F) announces
that her birthday will fall on De-cember
16 this year—age unknown.
"Boom" is back, we're glad that
the only visible effect is a shiner.
We wonder what "Knobby" is up
to—a truck load of Schmidt's beer
was almost delivered on campus.
And a serious note, I hope cold
weather doesn't interfere with a
certain prayer tower I have been
observing noons—keep it up C. E.

Scroggie Lecture
Well Received
Dr. J. F. Scroggie's interesting
chapel talk on Friday, October 4,
brought forth many expressions of
admiration.
Dr. Scroggie is an eminent Lon-don
preacher, having served as
pastor of two of the most famous
churches in England. He has also
received a distinguished place
among the great Bible lecturers of
our day.
During recent years Dr. Scroggie
was banker of one of the world's
most renowned banks. Through-out
his life as a layman he has
done much lecturing and traveling.
Besides speaking during the
chapel hour he sang and also
taught the students some new
choruses while he played the ac-companiment,
He centered his talk around the
Scripture text found in Psalm 1:3,
"And he shall be like a tree."
Pointing out, "Christians are like
trees because they have life,
growth, and bear fruit," he said
that all three of these qualities
must be present in Christians.

Miss Anderson makes a hobby
of writing poetry and we tried
earnestly to persuade her to sub-mit
some more of her work to the
CLARION.
This poetess has other hobbies
also. She is a philatelist and has
some Swedish stamps which came
through after the war started. She
values these highly. She also has
an interesting and unusual set of
scrapbooks which we surely wish
could be exhibited in our school
library at some time during the
year. Olga has five large scrap-books
containing pictures from
newspapers, magazines, and fold-ers.
You may think that is not
much of a hobby, but wait until
we tell you that these pictures are
pictorial records of royalty since
1932. One whole book is devoted
to the story of the abdication of
King Edward VIII of England; an-other
whole book gives us the
story of the coronation of King
George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
The pictures are arranged in
chronological order. They have
come from; many different places,
as Olga has friends who are inter-ested
in her hobby and save the
interesting clippings and pictures
that they can find for her.

Sophs Have Fun
At Thompson's park in St. Paul
on Friday evening, September 27,
the sophomore class met for a pow
wow.
Sara Mae Swenson led the pro-gram
of amusing games and skits
in which all participated. After
the program a picnic lunch of hot
dogs, coffee, and apples was
served. The evening was closed
with a praise and song service led
by Dale Bjork.
C. E. Carlson, faculty adviser of
the class, was present with Mrs.
Carlson.
Are Grads Successful?
Professor C. E. Carlson is formu-lating
plans for a follow-up survey
of students who have attended
Bethel Junior College. Actual
work on the survey, which, is of in-terest
to all who are concerned
with the progress of Bethel, will
soon begin.
This survey will attempt to an-swer
such questions as the follow-ing:
1. Why dp students drop out of
school?
2. Why do students come to
school one year and not return?
3. Why do students attend
school two years and then fail to
graduate?
4. What success have Bethel
Bethel graduates had in other
schools they have attended?
The last point mentioned will be
especially stressed in this re-search,
according to Carlson.

Eighteen Students on
NYA Care for Buildings
Eighteen Bethel students are
working on NYA this year. Bethel
receives a monthly allotment of
$225 from the federal government
and $20 from the state for this
work.
Students chosen to work on
NYA were selected on the basis
of need, character, ability to work,
attendance status, citizenship, and
age. This year, for the first time,
NYA students had to sign an oath
of allegiance to the nation.
NYA students perform various
jobs around school. Five are
working on the campus under
guidance of the engineer, three
are working in the library, one in
the athletic department, one in the
chemistry laboratory. Three do in-side
work such as washing win-dows,
two work in the office on
publicity, two on the office switch-board,
and one works with the
graphotype and addressograph in
the office.
Tegenfeldts Still Wait
Ruth and Herman Tegenfeldt,
missionary candidates for the mis-sion
field at Rangoon, Burma, were
again delayed in their sailing date.
They were to sail October 5 on
the City of Norfolk from San
Francisco, but the British visa
Which has to come from London
did not arrive.
Due to the war conditions, of-ficial
British business has been
greatly delayed.
If the British visa arrives, the
Tegenfeldts will sail from San
Francisco on October 23.
While waiting for the visa, they
are residing in Bellingham, Wash-ington.

31 Selected for Chorus
Thirty-one men were accepted
for the tentative listing of this
year's male chorus. The chorus
consists of 17 veteran members,
and 14 new initiates.
Last Thursday was initiation in
school for the "green-horns." They
were required to wear wing col-lars,
bow ties, and dress suits to
class. They were also imposed
upon to sing whenever two veteran
members asked them to do so. This
feature of the initiation proved
rather amusing to several individu-als.
Meal-time at t he Boarding
club was the accepted time for
solos.
Last night the male chorus had
its initiation outing at Phalen
park. Although the punishments
meted out were not disclosed, they
were understood to be rather
shocking to several new members.
The members of the male chorus
are as follows: first tenor: Virgil

20 Turn Out As Basketball Season Opens
Volleyball Season
Closes With Gusto
The second round of valleyball
has just begun in the boys' gym
squads. The Dead End Kids are
leading the Supermen in the sopho-more
class. The Kids Lave won 11
and lost four, while the Supermen
are on the short end of the same
scare.
The freshmen boys are also en-gaged
in a volleyball series. The
results at this writing are as fol-lows:
Won Lost
Gophers 19 7
Foreigners 7 19
Swedes 18 10
Cowboys 15 13
Plugs 14 16
Blitzkriegers 9 17
The volleyball series will be
over by November 1. The leaders
in the frosh classes will play the
winning sophomore team in the
Championship playoffs. The sopho-mores
have not played as many
games to date as the frosh as they
have been playing soccer, learning
the rudiments of the game.
Coach Bill Adams stated that
basketball would be introduced
into the gym classes after Novem-ber
1.
Johnson and Dishinger
Elected Class Heads
Thursday, September 26, the
Junior College classes met to elect
their officers for the present se-mester.
•
The sophomore class unanimous-ly
elected Professor C. E. Carlson
class adviser. The officers elected
were Archie Johnson, president;
Carol Jone Engwall, vice-presi-dent;
Arlene Johnson, secretary;
and Gunnar Hoglund, treasurer.
Officers elected by the freshman
class were Robert Dischinger,
president; Roland Gustafson, vice-president;
Harriet Anderson, sec-retary;
and Russell Taft, treasur-er.
Coach Bill Adam was unani-mously
elected class adviser.
Faith
Walking along with my Master di-vine,
My hand in his strong hand—
Mold me and make my will be
Thine,
Oh, Master, I humbly pray.
No merit of mine do I bring to
Thee,
My heart is burdened with care;
But only Thy own dear face to
see—
And the plan Thou hast for me.
So here is my life and my heart,
dear Lord,
Use it as Thou see'est best;
I ask not for a rich reward,
But for eternal rest.

What could be a better way to
work off a few added (since com-ing

Coach Bill Adam announces that
there will be practice on Tuesdays
and Thursdays.
Virginia Carlson, Arlene John-son,
Mary Ann Liljenstrom and Ol-ga
Anderson are the only return-ing
letter winners, so the positions
are all open.
The coach would like to have all
girls who are interested to come
out for practice. Even those who
have never played the game can
come out and try.
At the beginning of the second
round of volleyball the Sophomore
Ace Bolls lead the Creambolls
with a three game lead.
In freshmen competition the In-fants
have 19 wins to their credit.
Closely trailing are the Hot Shots,
boasting 16 games, and the Bullets
with 14.
Band Organizes
The band elected its officers for
the coming year at its practice
Thursday, October 3.
Dury Miller was elected presi-dent;
Margaret Erickson, secre-tary;
Elwood Anderson, librarian;
and Kenneth Norquist, assistant li-brarian.
Because of class conflicts, only
20 individuals are regular mem-bers
of the band. Each Thursday
they practise together.
Any student who does not pos-sess
an instrument but can play
one is requested to see Gordon Pe-terson.
The school is considering
the purchase of a sousaphone, a
string bass, and one or two clari-nets.
Four Return

About 20 fellows responded to
the call for basketball candidates
on October 2 according to Coach
Bill Adam.
Only four lettermen were
among those who reported.
Gordon Peterson, Lowell Mar-quardt,
and Gene Nyman are
back from last year's squad
and Ray Appelquist from the
1938-39 squad. Other aspirants
for positions on the squad
are: Truman Halverson, Gun-nar
Hoglund, Gerald Larson,
Glen Swanson, Willis Wess-man,
Bob Beck, Tedlund, War-ren
Magnuson, Bob Norstrom,
Roland Gustafson, Bjelland,
and Bob Dischinger. Again this
season there is a lack of
height as only a couple of can-didates
are over 6 feet.
No fundamentals have been
taught as yet, but Coach Adam
stated that next month he will
give individual instruction to the
candidates who show promise of
becoming first-string material.
After November 1, a varsity squad
of 10 men will be chosen to wear
the Red and White during the
1940-41 season.
A pre-season game against
the alumni has been scheduled
in conjunction with Homecom-ing
festivities. The contest
will start immediately after
the banquet on Friday eve-ning,
November 1. Last year
the alumni all.stars nosed out
the Bethel quint by the close
score of 41.49, and this year's
battle promises to be just as
clase with both teams confi-dent
of a win.
Soph Comets
Remain Unbeaten
The intramural touch football
schedule has reached the halfway
mark and only the sophomore
Comets remain undefeated, says
Coach Adams. The Seminary team
is close behind with a record of
two wins and one loss in their
three starts. Ths standings are as
follows:
Won Lost
Comets 4 0
Seminary , 2 1
Gophers 9 2
Jeepers 0 3 /
There have been some spectacu-lar
passing and running plays And
the blocking has been vicious. The
sophomores, using a devastating
passing attack, have amassed a
total of 88 points in four games as
compared to their opponents' 10.
The Seminary team has scored 45
points in three games; the fresh-man
Gophers have counted 22
points in two games; and the
freshman Jeepers have tallied only
nine points in three games.
The first game of the regular
season will be played on our home
floor on Friday, December 6.
Coach Adam is negotiating for a
non-conference team to fill this
spot on our schedule. The first
conference game of the season will
be played against Rochester J. C.
on Friday, December 13, in the
new Mayo Memorial auditorium in
Rochester.
