Our soldiers are asking, "What is the difference is I say 'It is me'
instead of 'It is I' when I get into the fox-holes of Africa?" It is true that
the war will not be lost because they use such expressions, but there
are many other places in our armed forces where correct speech and Eng-lish
are a great asset.
Because the army realizes this, they are giving courses in speech and
English to soldiers in training. Of course, short cuts are taken, giving
only that which is absolutely essential, but we must sacrifice finesse for
the prime objectives in mind, namely the winning of the war. This train-ing
is given to the men preparing to be commanding officers in order
that they may communicate their ideas clearly and distinctly. If they
are able to communicate their ideas, they will be much better prepared
to control the behavior of the men under them.
Because these courses are speeded up, we at home need to keep up
the cultural standards we should pass on to the next generation. The
transmitting of the culture standards is a long-time process, and there-fore
we must not let it drop suddenly now. We can build this up by
reading more widely of the various countries, not merely of America. If
we were more democratic in our
reading, by that I mean reading the
literature of other countries, we
should be able to understand their
trends of thought more clearly.
We must develop our culture
now so that those Writing after the
war will have high literary stand-ards
as a guide. Many post-war
writers will be competing with
writers advocating Nazi idealism,
even though Naziism generally has
been suppressed, and we must pre-pare
our writers to compete with
them.

Rochester Has Romance
-by ETHEL HALE
I took ar long anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed vacation last week.
Carol Rexion and Virginia Holmberg took over the work of the Clarion.
I went up to Rochester to interview the-Director of Nurses and see
when I could enroll at Kahler Hospital.
Several things were outstanding in that world famed city of medi-cine.
One was the friendliness of the people; someone even said "good
morning!" as if she meant it.

Hear Mrs. Roosevelt
It was possible for two Clarion
reporters to be present at the Vic-tory
Aid's program at the St. Paul
Auditorium, Tuesday, March 30, at
which time Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt
spoke.
"It was a pleasure to see her'
even if we did sit in the highest
balcony," explained Janet Lyth.
Mrs. Roosevelt told of her ex-periences
in England and of how
the British are hardened warriors
while the Americans are just begin-ning
to suffer in this war. She
said that, as we already know, we
must exert all our powers to win-ning
the war and the peace.
Other numbers on the program
were several selections by the Nbr-thern
Pump Male Chorus, A solo
by Pvt. Myers, a Civic Opera sing-er,
and many marches played by
the Fort Snelling band. Governor
Stassen introduced Mrs. Roose-velt.

This Means You!
"Griping" is stylish. If you are not deaf and dumb, you will
agree with me. Like baby-shawl kerchiefs, it is the latest thing,
and Bethel is no exception.
We criticize this, we criticize that; nothing escapes our "tear-ing
apart," and since we spend most of our time with our teachers,
they receive the greatest part of this "griping." We complain that
they are too strict, too lax, they give too much homework (I could
go on and on). In short they make our classes miserable.
We forget that it takes two or more individuals to make a
class, the teacher and the pupils. We see what is wrong with the
former and completely forget about ourselves. If we stop to think,
of our part in the class, our classroom attitudes, we cannot deny
that our sins are many and black.
What are they? If you do not know, just observe yourself
and those around you throughout the day. In the early morning
we nod and sleep over the lecture notes we are taking `a poor
inspiration for the professor. As the day goes on ,from half-awaks,
drugged-looking creatures, we change to the other extreme and be-come
too active. We take too great a part in the class discussion.
We discourteously talk out of turn, interupt the teachers, carry on
our own private conversations while he is speaking; we waste our
time and his with our foolishness. We even have the audacity to
eat during the lecture. Then too, we cut class as often as we
please. We straggle in late; anytime will do. Having the day's
homework done is a thing unknown. These are but a few outrages
we commit.
I am guilty of them; you are guilty of them and yet we gripe
about the teachers. We who profess to be Christians, loving our
brothers as ourselves, yes, some of us who have been deferred
from the draft because we are preparing for the ministry—we are
the greatest culprits. I ask, how can we reconcile our religion,
our claims to be unworldly, with actions such as these? How can
we "gripe" about others when we have so many things to correct in
ourselves!

Does Fire
Burn?
A missionary while visiting
Japan went oUt one day to the
Japanese Imperial Potteries. In
the course of his tour he was con-ducted
to a room in which were
exhibited in two groups the most
lovely vases ever seen, of rare de-sign
and superb beauty. After hav-ing
expressed great admiration for
the articles on display, he inquired
the value of them and found that
those in the one group cost an ex-orbitantly
high price while those
of the other group were to his sur-prise
very cheap. Somewhat at a
loss to understand the reason for
the enormous difference in the
price of these' articles so similar in
every way, he turned to the guide
and asked for an explanation, to
which the reply was, "Both groups
have been made from the same ma-terial
and have received the same
careful attention of skilled men;
the expensive vases will now go
into the most exclusive homes, but
the others were cracked in the fire,
and though to all appearances they
look alike they are not worth very
much."
Few of God's people are exempt
from the fires of testing in one
form or another, so skilfully de-signed
by the Lord to ennoble and
strengthen Christian character, but
it is the reaction to these trials,
however, that will determine the
ultimate value in divine currency.
Countless numbers of Christian
people have been spiirtually en-riched
and have had a genuine
Christ-likeness stamped upon them
because the fires of testing. Others
have become bitter in spirit and
cynical in attitude. They were
cracked in the fire.

Editor's Mail
Dear Editor:
One of the most disgusting
things around the dorin is to hear
the telephone ringing. That part
isn't as bad as when there is some-one
standing right there and will
not answer it.
There is a rule stating that a con-versation
should last only three
minutes!—instead of a half an
hour or more. There are forty odd
others that would like to use the
telephone once in a while too!
Worse, yet, talking on the tele-phone
so loud that everyone in
the whole building can hear what
is said is very disturbing and dis-tracting
to those who would ilke
to study.
I wish we girls could get to-gether,
and work out a schedule
for answering the telephone in-stead
of just certain ones doing
it all the time.
Can't we do something about it?
A fellow-dorm member.

Dear Editor;
Is it wrong to study in the
evenings? Am I laboring under an
delusion that between 7 and 10:30
every evening we are supposed to
be quiet for that purpose? From
the remarks of my more exuber-ant
collegues when asked to lower
their voices from screams and
shouts, and quit running like wild
horses up and down the halls, I
feel I am.
Perhaps this desire for peace and
quiet is infringing on their rights
to a good time. I believe their lib-erty
ends where mine begins. They
may be able to prepare for the
next day's assignments and tests
without opening a book, but for me
it takes an evening of hard work.

With Ginger
APRIL 1, 1943, has come and
gone but the memories of that day
still hang in the shadows. There
are some girls who will never for-get
the memorial meals of that day
nor will the boys forget the water
fight they had.
Miss Ethel Hale, OUR DEAR
EDITOR, has been accepted at
Kahler Hospital in Rochester. She
will enter on June 28. Her mind
is in such a whirl she hasn't done
a thing for the last two -issues.
HOW can we live with her if this
keeps up?
As anyone can plainly see I'm
all swamped under with MID-SEM-ESTERS.
My mind is a blank, as
usual.
Out of my reverie—A few of the
most revengeful girls at the dorm
took it upon themselves to get even
with the chief prankster of the
domicile, DELOROS CLAUS ON.
They burned incense in her room
until the whole place was practic-ally
FUMIGATED. All to no avail
the darling stayed out all night.

run out of ideas, thoughts, motives,

Snitches .. .
From Itches
To enter the "dorm" during a
barter session reminds one of the
days in Indians and the fur trading
era. Just who is getting gyped is
the question and if you ask me it
looks like the grand old "Bushel-britches"
gets the skrut. Ties flow
back and forth like the dimes and
nickels that they are worth.
It seems, too, that several of the
fellows are having a scratching
good time these days. All of this
activity has not been confined to
one person but has spread to four
or so more. Maybe the Good Lord
thought that they didn't have
enough to do and so gave them
something to fill up their time. As
Dallas W. said it, "Oh, well, we
all have to start from scratch any-way."
The Male Chorus needs only a
Second Bass to fill up their quar-tet.
This quartet is made up of
three of the most active "itches"
and they are looking for another
partner. According to Walt Julien,
Prexy, the name is to be the Var-mits
in the Garments.

Remarks
Our janitor has proved himself
dexterous in many lines, but lately
another; field revealed his versa-tility.
He has demonstrated his
ability in pulpit eloquence to sev-eral
of the students, and it seems
they were favorably (?) impressed.
On one occasion, between shovels
of coal in the boiler room, "Pas-tor"
Borgeson began a sermon on
Heaven. As he came to his stirring
conclusion and application, he
cried, "Hallelujah, no more coal to
shovel there, either!" and threw
in another shovel full. Part Swed-ish
and part English, the sermons
are enjoyed by all who care to take
time to listen. Perhaps a new
church could be organized iwith
"Pastor" Borgeson as leader of the
flock.
Exchange
Looking thrOugh a high school
paper, we found a column contain-ing

us of those dear, dear days, so we
thought we'd copy it for you.

Pettifoggers Note!
Dear Editor:
This question of griping about
food seems to be causing a good
deal of dissension in the Women's
Dormitory. What is the cause of
it? Bethel, as a whole, seems to
be full of gripers. This hardly
seems to me to be a Christian-like
attitude. When you look at all
sides of it and narrow° it down it
adds up to one thing—selfishness.
Here is what the Bible says about
that. In Isaiah 56:11 we read "Yea,
they are greedy dogs which can
never have enough, and they are
shepherds that cannot understand:
they all look to their own way,
every one for his gain, from his
quarter."
As for griping about food, people
don't stop to think. Don't they real-ize
that we are at war and food
is rationed? Just because we at-tend
Bethel Institute is no reason
why we should get any more food
than anyone else. Are we any bet-ter
than the next fellow? Where
is Bethel's patriotism? Is it a sin
to complain about our lot here at
home when our boys are over there
giving their lives for us and en-during
tremendous hardships.
And then the civilians in the
war-torn countries, both allied and
axis, are by no means sitting in
the lap of luxury. We don't realize,
in fact we can't even imagine, the
persecution they are enduring. The
objects of our pretty gripings are
but infinitesimal annoyances next
to the causes they have for com-plaint.
But they don't complain.
Why should we, as Christians, com-plain?
—Anti-Griper.
Gremlins Help
In Exams
SO THEY MOVED IN ON YOU
TOO??? Yes, and they have even
moved into the Chem. Lab. They
can be heard and felt in the lab at
any time that there are students
working in there.
They have it in their silly heads
that they are supposed to help with
every experiment and they do it
too, in a way that is enough to ex-asperate
anyone.
JOHNNY D. HAD QUITE A BIT
OF HELP the other week as he
was trying to shove a thermometer
through a rubber stopper. As those
holes aren't any too big as it is, a
little critter made it twice as hard
by sticking his foot in the hole too.
Another gremlin was watching the
procedure from Johnny's shoulder,
and just when he was pushing the
hardest, he climbed down and gave
Johnny's elbow such a kick that
the thermometer broke in two. One
half of the thing went into the
stopper and the other half went in-to
Johnny's finger. The whole
thing gave the gremlins a good
laugh; it gave Johnny a lot of pain
and it gave Johnny's dad another
headache to the tune of one dollar.
THEY ALSO SIT IN THE STU-DENTS'
LAPS when they are per-forming
delicate measurements,
and stand in their way; they bump
their elbows and push too much of
one chemical or another into the
mixture so that nothing ever comes
out right at all. When the students
titrate, the gremlins have the best
time of all. They spill too much in-dicator
into the titrate, and they
keep twisting the stopper on the
burette so that the whole experi-ment
has been done in vain.
IN TESTS THEY ARE A BIG
HELP TOO. As you sit there try-ing
to figure out whether it is Ca
CO3 or not, one tells you in your
ear that it is CaCO2, and sure
enough, when the Prof. hands your
paper back the question is-wrong
and it should have been something
else.

_eosie 94 Blind
"Yes, Mother, Sue is a darlin," was an emphatic statement that a
young man said of his sweetheart as spring came floating in. He went on
to tell of her good points and said that she never did anything that was
wrong. In reality Sue did have faults, but "LOVE IS BLIND".
Often blind love is not appreciated or accepted by the beloved one.
This can be proved by the life of Alfred Tennyson Byron, Jr. For weeks
he had been practicing a speech of proposal. At last he thought that
he had one that would be worthy of his sweetheart. There was a full
moon and a perfect setting for a proposal. "I am mad about you,"
he breathed, "and in my breast burns the immortal flame of undying
love. I worship you with a tremendous overpowering, all-compassing
adoration." All he received were the words "OH, GOODY!"
Because love is blind, some people sacrifice all they have for it.
This is illustrated in the life of a talented girl who sacrificed her edu-cation,
musical ability, frie'nds, and family to marry a backwoodsman.
Living in a shanty and far from real civilization, she soon lost all her
refinement and became as unpolished as her husband. Her talents were
lost to the world because her love was blind. SINCE LOVE IS BLIND
THE RESULTS ARE OFTEN DISASTROUS.
Sometimes love is blind to all qualities, good or bad, and sees only
a pretty face. The lover does not realize that he is superior to her and
that they will never be happy together. He really believes that his
sweetheart's beauty will substitute for everything.
Samuel Johnson is a good example of a "blind"lover. To ordinary
spectators Mrs. Porter, that lady he loved, appeared to be a short, fat,
coarse woman, painted half an inch thick, dressed in gandy colors and
fond of exhibiting provincial airs and graces which were not exactly
those of the Queenberrys and Lepel's. She was much older than Samuel
Johnson. Her daughter by her first marriage was born only six years
after Johnson. But Johnson was passionately in love with her and
thought she was all that was beautiful and good. He married her and
later when she died he was broken-hearted. This was one case where
"blind" love continued through the whole life of the lover. BUT BE-WARE!
THAT IS NOT USUALLY THE CASE!

the Coffee Cup.
The boy's volleyball tournament
suffered a setback in schedule on
last Friday due to the few team
members that made their appear-ance.
It will continue however and
a good tournament is hoped for.
Not many games have been played
so far, so on trustworthy indica-tions
can be made. Close watch
of the schedule on the bulletin
board will give you the correct
status of the teams.
The girls' tournament is continu-ing
as originally scheduled and will
soon be completed. The leader at
this time is No. 3 with 7 wins and
1 defeat, under the captaincy of
Ruth 'Grandy' Nelson. Gwen Par-son's
team, No. 4, comes next in
the standings with 51/2 wins and 3
losses.
Each win gives the victor one
point and the highest scoring team
of each set gets an extra 12 point.
The last game of the girls' sched-ule
is slated for Thursday after-noon
when the champions vie with,
an all-star team at 3:45.
Hopes Rise For
Tennis Courts
Among other needs of our school
are seeing fulfillment, thoughts
and plans are being aroused, to
fix up our badly neglected tennis
courts. Ideas begin in the Semin-ary
and much favor was gained.
The project, to be satisfactory, is
quite large, however, and it is dif-ficult
for one group to accomplish
it. Later it was suggested as a
sophomore class project and fur-ther
investigations are being made
as to possibilities of obtaining
enough money and as to the cost
of the project itself. As develop-ments
occur they will be looked
forward to with interest by this de-partment.

Wanted I I
Wanted—Men with some sort of
a racquet to play on the tennis
team. Now that summer is a real
hope the tennis racquet has begun
to exert itself after a long winter
of hibernation. Contrary to the
fate of the baseball connection,
there will be a tennis tournament
and championship to be contended
for in the S. Minnesota Conference.
In previous years this sport has
not held a very prominent place in
the sports calendar, but perhaps
the adverse conditions will make
for greater interest in the game
this year.
Several racquets have already
made. their appearance about
school (perhaps the owners
brought them out just to see if they
had enough 'guts' for the game).
Warm-up practices will be held in
the gym until the courts are dry
enough to play on. A call is put
forth for any students - that are in-terested
to see coach and begin a
little practice. According to indi-cations,
more students will be 'ser-ving'
this year than in previous
seasons.
The "Ides of, March" are a little
late in their effect on the sports
calendar but nevertheless their un-unfavorableness
is felt. Since there
is not a bench for anyone to be on
any more there is difficulty in ful-filling
the 29 inches of space dedi-cated
to sports. So the sports edi-tor
has to pour out his woos and
submit others to the eventual sor-rows
of all news-men.
King Windor was not at all fair
in this dossings here abouts and
his loitering around has caused no
end of dissatisfaction and discom-fort.
The basketball season as it
concerned our school, was nothing
to wait around that long for.
The inevitable has begun how-ever
and Mother Earth is begin-ning
to bend her aching head to the
South and taht means that we are
soon to experience another sum-mer.
By the next issue it will prob-ably
be well upon us and you my
readers will not have to put up
with such rabble on a sports page.

Swinging the
Hickory Stick
Baseball practice began on Satur-day
morning, at 8:00. Several fel-lows
were out for the preliminaries
but no indications can be made
at this early stage of the game.
These practices are more for plac-ing
the boys in the most advantag-eous
position.
The games will be played with
contemporary schools but with no
conference championship being
vied for. So far no games have
been scheduled definitely but good
probabilities are Wilson High, Con-cordia
College, and Bethany.—Bat-ter

Golf
There isn't anything definite
about this as yet but this article
will serve to arouse interest and
prepare those that might be capa-ble
and available to enter such
competition. Golf is a sport not
usually overcrowded, but there is
a chance that we may see an or-ganized
team at Bethel. There will
be a golf tournament also this year
in the S. Minnesota Conference,
and another chance for Bethel to
show her colors.
