during convocation hour on
February 15. His editorials, radio
broadcast, and extensive lecture
tours have reached every thinking
group of the country.
More than a decade ago, Davis

Surprise Campus
Returning after almost a year
in the Merchant Marines spent in
training, out at sea, and in the
British Isles, Earl Johnson, Cadet
Midshipman, and Bethel student
of last year, made a surprise visit
to the campus.
With a leave of seventeen days,
he was on his way home to Port-land,
Oregon where his father, Dr.
Linus Johnson, is pastor of the
Temple Baptist Church.
"It's nice to be back home," and
"Yes, I stopped to visit `Quarny'
(Miriam Quarnstrom) in Cleve-land,"
were his most frequent re-plies
to questions asked about
himself.
Following his leave he is to re-ceive
furthur schooling at King's
Point Academy on Long Island,
New York, after which he will be-come
an ensign.
James Nyquist was another
Bethelite back on furlough. He is
in the U.S.T.U. studying engineer-ing

Decides Convention
"The Junior College is in the best situation to assist in the educa-tional
progress following the war, because it is recent in development,
has not fallen into ruts of customs and procedure, and is quickly adjust-ed
to changing conditions."
This was the conclusion of the main discussion of the Annual
Convention of the American Association of Junior Colleges, which was
attended by Dean Emery Johnson, in Cincinnati, Ohio in the middle
of January.
In an interview Dean Johnson stated that the convention was
centered around the problem of post war period and many notables
were present. Among those who spoke were: Lord Halifax, British
Ambassador to the United States, and the Honorable Carl J. Hanbro,
president of the Norwegian Council and League of Nations.
Mr. Johnson thought some of the quotations rather interesting. He
says, "Lord Halifax had this to say: "There are two things wrong
with Nazism: First, the Nazis say that nothing is true except that
which conforms with Nazi philosophy. Second, the Nazis request the
whole attention of the individual as it concerns the state.
"This is challenging to us because we democracies must be first to
reject the idea of the subjection of the individual to state. We must
never lose the right of individual in society. Nazism is an example of
the wrong thing being done with enthusiasm." The topic of Mr. Hanbro
was : "The Result of Nazism on the Educational Organization of Nor-way.
He said, "The future of the world lies with teachers more than
any other group. The most imporant standards which education must
propagate are the standards of suffering and sacrifice. We must be
worthy of winning the peace."

get Behind the Band
By Joyce Gilbert
Students, unite your instrumental talents and give Bethel the band
she needs!
More cooperation is needed at the present time than ever before for
musical instruments are unavailable and time is limited. Professor
Stjernstrom has agreed to set aside a part of his valuable time to this
end ; you can utilize that opportunity.
Was the student body last year more capable than that of the pre-sent
year? A few of those members are still here to aid in this pro-ject.
How about it fellow classmen; can you do it?
The announcement relating to this item has been made several
times without sufficient response, but each capable student knows
what be or she can do about it. Bethel's musicians owe it to their fellow
basketball teams, their Alma Mater, and themselves.
Bethel Office Turns
Service Allen's Center
By Hazel Nelson
■•••••

Page 2 THE BETHEL CLARION
With the help of Uncle Sam's
Post Office, Bethel is now a center
for Service Men and Women. The
membership consists of approxi-mately
four thousand young
people from Swedish Baptist
Churches all over the United
States who are at this time in
uniform and serving their coun-try.
Of course, most of you have wit-nessed
the extreme hurry and
bustle in the office these past
months so perhaps in your inquiry
of this hurried state of affairs, you
have heard of this new project. If
not, you will want to know about
the service your school is render-ing
in the way of patriotism and in
the interest of the spiritual as well
as physical welfare of the men
and women in the armed forces.
The file case you lean upon in the
office when asking for your se-mester
grade is the one which con-tains
the names and addresses of
all those in the service. They are
arranged according to the location
of their camps and were obtained
in response to letters sent out to
all the Swedish Baptist Confer-ence
Churches explaining the 4ask
which Bethel has been undertak-ing.
At Christmas time cheery and
encouraging letters were written
by our college dean, Emery A.
Johnson, were sent to those _ser-vice
men and women within the
United States introducing Bethel
and explaining to them the pur-pose
of the correspondence, .which
is to pass on to them names of
other Christians in the same camp
so they may know who they are
and get acquainted with them. In-cluded
in these letters were con-venient
pocket-size directories con-taining
the names of the Swedish
Churches and their addresses.
These are to help them when they
arrive in a strange place and want
to attend some church but know
not which one nor the address. -
In every mail brought in this
year, answers have come to Dean
Emery. A. Johnson. As V-Mails
were sent to the men over seas,
there were many answers in V-
. Mail from men engaged in enemy
combat, in the air, on the ocean,
and even deep in the jungles. All
were mutual in their expressions
of gratitude and appreciation to
the school for what they are doing.
The question prevailing in your
mind by now may be, "Doesn't the
constant changing of addresses
cause difficulty in keeping the
records?" Yes, it does and that is
where the churches must be relied
upon for cooperation in keeping
the office informed as to the cor-rect
addresses. However, we
have found the churches eager to
cooperate and they have indicated
their appreciation' too of anything
done for their "Boys," as they call
them. Dean Johnson is answering
each letter individually with news
that would especially interest that
particular person. Within this
week, two and one-half thousand
two-page letters are going to be
sent to those in service _camps in
the United States. In another
week, regular letters will also be
sent to those over-seas. Our Con-ference
Press Publication, The
Standard, will be mailed to those
asking for it and different types
of tracts will be enclosed to those
requesting them for their own
reading and to pass on to others.
When a gold star is added to the
service flags in any of the 'Con-ference
Churches, Bethel too hon-ors
the memory of that one who
has made the supreme sacrifice in
the service of his country.
Letters and literature being
thus mailed out is not restricted
merely to those service men and
women in the Swedish Baptist
Churches. You may submit the
name of your relatives and friends
and they to will receive the same
benefits.
The membership of the Service
Men's Center by mail is rapidly
increasing and Dean Johnson ex-pects
it to reach a total of approx-imately
five and one-half thousand
addresses when all the Conference
Chui7ches alone have responded.
What will be the outcome? A
great deal of expense, time and
labor spent—spent, but we know
you will agree, not in vain. For in
the contacts made through the
correspondence to these, our loved
ones in the service, will they be-come
more united in fellowship
with other Christians and in fel-lowship
with the Father above and
willing to answer our prayers that
"The Most
Unforgetable Person
I Have Met"
by Maurice Lund
I would like to tell you about a
man whom I met several years
ago. I have never forgotten him
nor shall I ever forget him, I was
so impressed by him. Since meet-ing
him and speaking to him and
learning to know his principles
and ideals of living, my life has
been changed considerably. His
ideals were so noble that I could
not help but grasp them. You
might call it hero worship, but
daily I strive to become more like
him.
Though his father was an ex-tremely
wealthy man, he is a
simple man, but though he is a
simple man, he demands utmost
honor and respect. He is not in
the least a boaster nor does he
care for boasters. He is an honest
man and despises the very acts of
dishonesty that are committed
daily round about him, yet in spite
of this, he sees good in everyone,
even the worst.
He has been laughed at many
times. People say that his ideals
and principles are too narrow-minded
and to live by them is
utterly absure. People also say he
is foolish because he has turned
down offers of authority and
wealth.
He loves the beautiful things of
life. He loves the flowers, birds,
and all the other beautiful living
things of nature. He also loves
children, but more than that,
children love him. He loves the
less fortunate people of our day
and seeks to help them in every
way. Money means nothing to
him.
"Well," you say "such a man
must have many friends."
Yes, that's true, but he also has
enemies, which is proven by the
fact that a man who was supposed
to be one of his closest friends be-trayed
him. Yes, you know who
I'm speaking of now. He died,
died many years ago, but He did
not die in vain. He died for us that
we might have eternal life. He's
my Jesus, and I love Him.
this war's outcome be peace—an
everlasting peace such as doing
His will brings in the Christian
life.

By Ruth Elayne Anderson
QUESTION: IN WHAT WAYS DO
YOU THINK BETHEL'S SPIRIT-UAL
LIFE COULD BE IMPROV-ED?
Elwood Anderson: "In more
earnest prayer and Bible study
and by living up to the motto that
Dr. Wingblade has given us many
times. "God first, other second,
and self last."
Evelyn Sundberg: "By spending
much time daily in the reading of
God's Word and in prayer, for the
door to the abundant life is
through prayer."
Harris Youngquist: "Better at-tendance
at noon prayer meet-ings."
Bob Bergerud: "What I think
is the most important factor in
any Christian life whether just
representing Bethel or not is daily
devotions and living according to
the lessons learned."
Eunice. Anderson: "By not tak-ing
our Christianity so for grant-ed;
by making our Christianity
practical—not something alto-gether
separated from our normal
school and social life."
Gloria Mitchel: "By each one of
us remembering that even though
everyone else around here is a
Christian, that's no sign that we
should let our own lives slack.
But we sholuld do all that we can
to bring even Christians closer to
the Christ we love and serve."
By Evelyn Sundberg
1/19/44--Rev. Bursell: -
"We receive blessings because
we dare, in the face of obstacles
and troubles to preach the un-varnished
Word of God."
1/20/44—Rev. Selander:
"We cannot hide ourselves be-hind
the collective security of the
fire that burns in pastors' or dea-cons'
bosoms, but should have fire
within ourselves."
2/2/44—Dr. Wall
"All organs in the body are dif-ferent,
yet have certain character-istics
in common. Denominations,
though different, yet have com-mon
characteristics such as:
They recognize the same Head.
They serve the same Head.
They communicate with the same
Head.
They are fed the same Food.
They are bathed in the same
Blood."
2/3/44—Rev. Floyd Ankerburg:
"We need young people who will
dare to tell a dying world about a
Wonderful Savior."
Greater than all these, he is a Chapel Nuggets
real friend. He loves to sit and
hear one's troubles and problems
and help one solve them. He's the
kind of a friend who will stick
closer when the going isn't so
good. He doesn't change as con-ditions
change or as the years
change, he's always the same good
close friend.

A POME
By Eunice Wood
They tell me this is leap year,
And I'm `sposed to get my man
But because I am so bashful
I don't know how I can.
Shall I trip him in the hall
Or should I call him up at night?
You see I am so bashfull,
I don't dare come out and fight.
I think I'll wait a few more years
Till leap year comes again
And then when I am older
Perhaps I'll get my man.
A REPLY TO "A POME"
(By Bashful)
It's true that this is leap year,
And well, I'm feeling sad,
Because you are so bashful,
My plight is rather bad.
You see, I'm Oh so bashful
That Eunice—it is true,
I wanted to, but didn't—
Get a date with you.
So I waited just for leap year,
And hoped that you'd date me,
But since you're waiting 4 years
I'm as sad as sad can be.
ON SLEEPING
by Kanshi Yamashita
One of the practices cultivated
by the freshmen, practiced dili-gently
by the sophomore, and per-fected
by the seminary students is
that of resting, or to put it more
bluntly, of catching up on one's
sleep, to the accompaniment of
the soothing, gentle tones of the
teacher.
There are many angles to this
subject (as said the geometry Stu-dent
as he tried to solve Phytho-goras's
theorem—pause for a snic-ker)
but let us venture forth into
the methods. First, one of the
most popular schools is the "hand
over forehead" group. This form,
however, is frowned upon by the
experts in this field, inasmuch as
inevitably, one's hand slips off the
forehead when one falls asleep,
and the resulting thud as your
head meets the desk is the cause
of many dirty looks from other
"resters" 'who are abruptly a-waken
by the noise.
Then there is the "Well, so
what" school which believes in
simple and openly sprawling out
and going to sleep. But this too, is
considered bad form since it gives
the teachers serious doubts as to
their teaching ability and we all
agree that it pays to be nice to
one's teacher or does it? One some
times wonder.) At any rate, this
By Weston
Mail getting is one of the high-est
points in our daily activities.
We all look forward to that letter
from home (?) with a ferver of
anticipation that's totally unquen-chable—
I believe we're all justi-fied
in our eageress. After all
what's more relaxing than a nice-ly
written letter??
I had never really thought of
anything but what my thought for
letters might contain until one day
last week. It was then that the
post office offensive forced me
bodily against the wall farthest
from my box. Finally in exaspera-tion
I decided to pull my milling
arms down to a respectable level
and watch the "Morning Mail Mas-sacre"
from my unwanted point
of vantage.
As a result of my observation I
became of the personal opinion
that we, the Bethel Student Body
are divided into four mail receiv-ing
groups—normally we are as
follows:
First: The morbid looking "No
Financial Backing From Home"
group.
Second: The "Package in the
Office" group. (who incidentally
school is frowned upon because
their reaction is hardly tactful or
diplomatic, to say the least.
Which brings us to the final and
best school, advocated by the ex-perts
in this field. This is the
camouflage or deceptive school of
thought which simply consists of
getting two or three of the biggest
persons in the class to sit before
one, naturally toward the back
of the room and then simply go-ing
to sleep behind this, adequate,
(we hope) screen.
But a warning at this point—if
you are one of those individuals
who have a tendency to snore, this
practice of drifting off to slumber-land
is definitely discouraging in-asmuch
as there is something dis-concerting
to the teacher when
one is in the midst of lecture to
have a snore break through—and
it is rather incongruous, to say
the least, to hear a steady, distinct
snore while the German teacher
is conjugating "schlafen" or is
asking "Wie viel Uhr gingen Sie
Zu Bett jetzt Nach? or such.
And this parting word of advice
from an expert: "Endeavor, inso-far
as possible, to—ah—rest—as
inconspicuously as possible since,
for some inexplicable reasons,
teachers do not seem to appreciate
this form of resting." But don't
let the fear of consequences deter
you from trying this highly relax-ing
practice—and if you need any
more pointers, kindly refer to the
author's book on "Classroom Ex-ercises
in Mental and Physical Re-laxation"
or "How to make up for
the night before the morning
after."

usually further the congested con-gestion
by their obnixious pack-ages).
Thirdly: The contented "Letter
from Mom" (?) group (Those with
that contented expression).
Lastly: The "Give Me My Chap-el
Notice and Look at How Dusty
My Mail Box Is" group.
As perfect proof of the 9:46 con-gestion
I'll illustrate by what hap-pened
last Wednesday. I, being an
early P. 0. arriver, received my
"package in the office" notice be-fote
the usual clamor. I immediate-ly
obtained the package (which
proved to be my clean clothes
and with it and my school bag
grasped firmly in my right hand
set off in the general direction of
the water fountain. Suddenly the
latter wave of Mr. Carlson's Hist-ory
Class poured out with that de-termined
look of mail in their
eyes. Believe it or not by the time
I finally reached the water foun-tain
I had on a clean shirt and
was studying zoology.
All in all its a lot of fun to get
inspirational mail and then too,
the spirit of competition derived
is no doubt of deepest value.

Speaking of Eric, he hasn't

SAD PARADOX
By Walfred Peterson
I had a friend I called a dog,
And though some say
That dogs don't know
What friendship is—
That can't be so,
Because my dog was true.
I had a friend I called a man
Arid though some say
That men should know
What friendship is—
That can't be so,
Because he wasn't true.
And there you have it—dog and
man,
Why man's the master
I don't know.
The dog should be—
It must be so,
Because a dog is true.
Town Girl
Up at the dorm I used to be
respected as an authority on
street-car travel. "When in doubt,
as "Shoewhyler' " was the motto.
And then the gals found out I'd
never been nearer a train than the
Great Northern Depot waiting
room—and I'd never been farther
from the cities than the National
Tea on Larpenteur. So three of
the North End Gang consented to
guide me through a perilous ride.
I don't know why, but they laugh-ed
when I asked their questions:
"Why do they come around to col-lect
your transfer?" "Why do you
get a transfer before you even
enter the train?" "How did they
know there'd be four of us in order
to have four sailors across the
aisle?" _
Do those changeable seats, so
that four people face each other,
have anything to do with the tet-rad
formation?" (Ask any zo stu-dent).
"Does it take more than two
hours to walk from Raymetz's
house down town?" "What kind of
lighting do they have—and do they
pump their water?" "What street
does she live on? (That seemed to
be the biggest joke.)
One thing I did learn was not to
kid the gals about coming from a
small town—but as usual I learn-ed
the hard way. So take it from
me—if you've lived in the cities
all your life, never ridden a train
or seen a small town, DON'T let
anyone know it.

? Guess Who ?
Outplaying all the
way, the Bethel Cagers came out
on the long end of a 47-30 score.
The Tribemen showed about the
best passing attack of the season
with the result that scoring was
comparatively easy, especially in
the first three quarters.
In the last quarter, the
men outscored the Redskins and
closed the large gap in the score.
During this final quarter, Coach
Hokansan had his starting five on
the bench most of the time.
W,essman led the Indians in
scoring while paced
the ites, putting shots
from the side-count.
Preceeding the varsity game,
the Cambridge Baptist Chulich
Girl's Team tipped the Bethel
Squawks, composed of all fresh-men.
The game was close all the
way, ending in a 13-12 final score.
Bethel Falls
to River Falls
The January chapter of the bas-ketball
season was ushered out
Monday night, January 31, when
a strong River Falls Teacher's
College team defeated the Bethel
Indians 61-45.
Our warriors put up a great
fight, and at the end of the first
quarter had high hopes of taking
a few scalps. But the River Falls'
boys shook loose and had surged
ahead considerably by halt-time.
The Indians outscored the visitors
by 2 points in the second half, but
the damage had already been
done. DeLong, the Teacher's elong-ated
forward, and C. Mast, com-bined
to ripple the cards for 41
points, 24 and 17 respectively.
Wessman and Captain Hails each
got 12 for the home team.
The game was marked by an
all-around scrappy spirit on the
part of both team and student
body, something that has been
slightly lacking up to that time.
Lots of credit goes to our quartet
of fine cheer leaders.

It was a case of now or never
when the Bethel Women's team
met the Farm School Sextet at
seven, Monday evening, January
31.
"On the Spot" Nyman aided Ap-pelquist
in her pump push shots
with Wingblade on the rebound.
Bethel's height, floor speed, and
swift passes kept the Farm School
from gaining a lead throughout
the game. Up till the third quart-er
it was anyone's game but team
work among the girls brought
down another victory with the
final score being two.
