THE BETHEL CLARION
VOL. XXIV—NO. 10
BETHEL INSTITUTE, St. Paul, Minnesota MAY 16, 1945
Frosh Complete Plans Quarter System Planned
For Friday Banquet For '45-46 Curriculum
The sophomore banquet will be
served in the college chapel at
6:30 P. M. on Friday, May 18. The
speaker will be Rev. Curtis B. Ak-erson,
pastor of the First Baptist
Chtirch of Minneapolis. Special
music will be furnished by a trio
of Bethel girls, Jean Hamlett,
Grace Jorgenson, and Norma Baus-tian,
as well as by Soloist Lloyd
NoLidJstrom. Warren Anderson,
vi*-president of the freshman
class, will present a toast to the
departing sophomores, and Earl
Trude, who is president of the
class of '45, will respond in behalf
of the graduates.
Eloise Jensen, chairman of the
decoration committee reports that
the arrangement of the chapel will
be of an oriental nature. A lively
program has been arranged by the
committee of Bob Daley, Warren
Anderson, Eddie Shimatsu, and
Virginia Peterson.
The admission price for fresh-man
students is sixty-five cents,
and for non-college attendants is
one dollar and seventy-five cents.
Complimentary tickets are to be
given to the sophomores and to
the faculty.
Peterson of Africa
To Speak Tonight
Tonight at Missionary Band
Charles Peterson, Jr., returned
missionary from Africa, will speak.
Mr. Peterson, whose home is in
Breckenridge, Minnesota, is a gra-duate
of the Moody Bible Institute.
He is serving under Mid-Missions.
Since 1939 Mr. Peterson has
been in French Equatorial Africa.
He worked among the "disc-lip-ped"
natives in the Tchad District
for about two years. He recently
returned to this country by plane.
An interesting program has been
arranged for this meeting, which
will be held in the seminary chapel
at 8 p. m.
Seminary Entertained
At Annual Banquet
Last night, May 15, in the First
Baptist Church of St. Paul, the
Middleman Class of the seminary
entertained one hundred students
and friends of Bethel Institute at
the annual Seminary Banquet.
Speaker of the evening was Rev.
Arley Bragg, radio preacher and
pastor of the Central Free Church
of St. Paul. The subject of his
message, "Anchors" was the theme
carried out through, the entire ban-quet.
Editor Peterson
Announces Spire
Nears Completion
Although any statement on the
publication of the Spire cannot be
considered as final, the forty-five
yearbook will in all probability be
in the hands of the students by the
first of June, editor Walfred Pet-erson
announces. The entire copy
is now being set by the printer,
the engraving is under way, and
the cover is nearing completion.
Final contracts for printing and
engraving were made last week by
Stuart McBirnie. The book is to
be printed at the Bruce Publish-ing
Company, which contracts for
annuals of many schools in the
Twin City area.
William Peterson, business man-ager,
declares that if sales of the
book continue, the edition will be
a financial success.
Women Elect
New Officers
At a meeting of girls during
chapel hour May 1, Alice Olson
was elected president of the Beth-el
Women's Association for the
coming year. Gladys Biller is vice
president, Pauline Widen, secre-tary,
with Grace Jorgenson, assist-ant
secretary, and Gladys Fin:
strom is treasurer, with Edna Sahl
assistant treasurer. The four pro-gram
chairmen elected are Eloise
Jensen, Elaine Pegors, Maxine
Bjork, and Doris M. Johnson. Eve-lyn
Sundberg was chosen Big-and
Little-Sister Chairman.
The announcement of the new
officers was made at the formal
buffet supper of the B.W.A. on
May 10.
Klingberg Speaks
At Baccalaureate
Rev. Haddon Klingberg of New
Britain, Connecticut, will be the
speaker at baccalaureate services
in the college chapel on Sunday,
May 27, at 4:00 P.M. Rev. Kling-berg
is the founder and director
of two homes for orphan childrn,
the first in N. Britain, the second
in Chicago, Illinois, and is himself
a Bethel graduate. Young people's
societies all over the Twin Cities
are setting aside their own meet-ings
to attend. A fellowship sup-per
will be served after the servic-es.
Wing Priority
Granted Dorm
At a meeting of dormitory girls
Monday, May 14, President Wing-blade
announced that the priority
for the new wing on the girls dor-mitory
has been granted. Work
will begin very shortly and it is
expected that it will be completed
by next fall. Provisions will be
made for a prayer chapel, a large
dining hall for both men and wo-men,
and increased laundry and
telephone facilities. Says Presi-dent
Wingblade, "That for which
we have been praying and plan-ning
has at last been granted."
Graduates Honored
AtFormal Reception
On Thursday, May 10, the B. W.
A. met for the last time at a for-mal
reception held in the seminary
boarding club. Bethel woman stu-dents,
faculty, and faculty wives
were present and enjoyed to the
fullest the fine program prepared
for them.
The reception began at 5:30
p. m. with a Swedish Smorgasbord
provided by Mrs. Raier Olson, Mrs.
Mabel Nylof, Miss Alice Anderson,
and the kitchen crew. Blue and
yellow decorations added to the
Scandinavian theme. Violinists
Mary Lou Rademacher, Audrey
Skarp, and Lois Amstutz, accom-panied
by Ruth Rask at the piano,
furnished dinner music in trios,
duets, and solos.
An interesting program was
planned with Grace Swanson act-ing
as master of ,ceremonies. Rec-ognition
was given to the faculty
members, Mrs. Nylof, and Mrs. Ol-son,
corsages being presented to
them. Mrs. H. Johnson brought a
greeting from the school board
and from the Bethel Women's Fed-eration,
in which she expressed
the desire of these groups to sup-port
the B.W.A. organization.
The program, which centered
around the word "friendship", in-cluded
ten numbers.
There were testimonies from
each of the graduating seniors,
special musical numbers, and a
few short talks. The officers who
(Continued on page 4)
This progressive move will bring
about several changes. A number
of new courses will be offered, in-cluding
qualitative analysis, inter-mediate
Spanish, advanced speech,
freshman English (five credits per
quarter) , problems of philosophy,
ethics, logic, human geography,
world politics, modern social and
economic problems, genetics, and
Minnesota plant life.
The measure also makes it pos-sible
to earn credits in certain mu-sic
courses. Nine quarter-credits
per year are to be given for a
course in theory of music, and six
quarter-credits for a course in ap-preciation
of music. A student tak-ing
music lessons will be given
one credit per quarter.
Graduation requirements have
been somewhat altered by the new
setup. The total number of quar-ter-
credits necessary for gradua-tion
will be ninety-five. Physical
education will be required as for-merly,
but credits will be given in
that course as in other subjects.
Another change has been made in
regard to Bible Appreciation. A
student is no longer required to
elect Bible Appreciation, but will
instead complete six quarter-cred-its
of work in certain other Bible
subjects. These six credits are
transferrable to the University of
Minnesota for four and one-half
credits. (Previously the Universi-ty
had not accepted credits in Bi-ble
subjects.)
(Continued on page 4)
University Prexy
To Address Grads
"T echnica 1 Training, Not
Enough" will be the topic of Dr.
Walter C. Coffey, president of the
University of Minnesota, when he
addresses the graduates at the an-nual
commencement exercises at
the First Swedish Baptist Church
in Minneapolis, on Friday, June 1,
at 8:00 P. M.
On Friday morning the students
will gather for class day exercises
at 10:00 A. M., at which meeting
the valedictorians of the class
of '45, Gloria Anderson and Lily
Johnson, will speak. Numerous
awards will also be presented at
that time.
This year and in former years Bethel Institute has been operating
on a semester basis, but next fall the school will inaugurate a new sys-tem,
it was announced by Dean Emery A. Johnson. Under the new ar-rangement
there will be, in place of two semesters, three twelve-week
quarters, the first beginning in September, the second in December,
and the third in March. In place of semester credits earned, quarter-credits
will be given, all semester credits earned thus far being multi-plied
by one and one-half to change them to quarter-credits.

SPRINGTIME-1945 WITH BETHELITES
By PROF. C. E. CARLSON IN THE SERVICE
Spring has brought us a number of very interesting developments,
both on and off the campus. Outstanding among these are the San
Francisco Conference and Mr. Borgeson's "hot house" project, both of
which have received well-merited attention of Bethel observers.
In spite of some minor differences, these two spring developments
have a remarkable similarity. Both involve the germination of rather
small seeds and the nurturing of young sprouts into thriving, strong
plants. In both cases it is hoped that the heat of wasted energy will
stimulate rapid growth. What Mr. Borgeson is doing with vegetables
and flowers, the San Francisco delegates are trying to do with enter-national
institutions.
The cabbage-allyssum-tomato effort seems to have received the
unanimous approval of our school population. Things such as these
have been raised before with success and with good results. That the
San Francisco "hotbed" should be viewed with more uncertainty, if not
suspicion, is altogether understandable. The seeds of international co-operation
and good will, an untested variety, are known to be weak. If
growth is achieved, the plants will at best grow slowly and bear fruit
in the more distant future. The desirability of the final product has
also been questioned.
The layman in the field is quite convinced that institutions which
produce international good will and cooperation do not exist, and cannot
be developed. Such fatalistic pessimism on the part of unimaginative
persons has greeted every innovator. We may expect that before long
some of these people will be telling us that it is unchristian, sinful,
and dangerous to try to amend God's order for the universe. To these,
rampant nationalism is likely to take on a halo in spite of the holocaust
into which it has thrown us.
The difficulty of nursing the weak little institutions into strong pro-ductive
plants is not to be minimized, and too rapid a development must
not be expected. Stettinius and Stassen are not dealing with twenty-one
day radish. Such political institutions as representative legislatures,
written laws, and standardized court proceedings, all of which are so
generally and favorably accepted now, grew up during many centuries
of experimentation. Even a small measure of success will make the
San Francisco delegates entitled to a fame similar to that of Luther
Burbank, but much greater.
As Minnesotans and as Bethelites we commend both Harold and
Eric.
Indian Sunrise
by LOIS AMSTUTZ
By ROBERT SANDIN
"Out of the scabbard of the night
By God's hand drawn,
Flashes His shining sword of
light,
And lo, the Dawn!"
A group of missionary children
one morning stood around a win-dow
in a small cabin overlooking
the plains and watched the sun
rise. The dark sky was at first
streaked with silver, the light
grew stronOer, the clouds were
flushed with orange and rose, and
then the rays shot out over the
plains and touched the edge of the
crags. Soon the flat unsloping ter-rain
was bathed in sunlight.
On the plains, the missionaries
were preaching the Gospel to peo-ple
who were steeped in the dark-ness
of superstition and sin. I re-member
the times we, during va-cation,
would go out with the mis-sionaries
and camp in the villages.
Once in one of these villages a
young man, a Sadhu or holy man,
was walking slowly down the
dusty road. His face was marked
with the symbols of his gods; he
carried a small Indian lamp and a
stick strung with little yellow
flowers; a musical instrument was
slung over his shoulder. Gopal,
the Sadhu or holy man, stopped
to listen as he heard the voice of
the Sahib, the missionary, speak-ing
to a crowd. He came closer.
He was well-versed in the Hindu
scriptures but he had never heard
anything like this before. The mis-sionary
was telling the people of
a God of love and a Man who had
died to save them from their sins.
He frowned. If the people listened
to this missionary he would lose
his disciples, the people who gave
him anything he demanded. Dur-ing
the next few years he violent-ly
persecuted the Christians, but
one day he himself was saved.
Now his musical talents and lead-ership
are used in the service of
God. Another soul that had groped
in darkness had found the Saviour
and to him, as to all who fear the
name of God, "the Sun of right-eousness
would one day rise with
healing in His wings." (Mal. 44:2)
Marine Phil Johnson's long-await-ed
return to Bethel's halls became
a reality last Sunday morning. I
was on my way down to breakfast
when Phil rushed up the stairs
and asked, "Have you got a buck
sixty-five? I have to pay the cab
driver."
In chapel on Monday Phil, whose
red hair was shorn in typical GI
exprssed his gratitude
for the strength he received from
attending a Christian school and
asked the prayers of those who re-main
here that his life in the ser-vice
might always be a reflection
of Christ. Phil "returns to the
wars" next Wednesday, departing
for Camp LeJuene, North Caro-lina.
Air Cadet Herbert MacDonald
also hit the TWin Cities last Sun-day,
arriving from Chapel Hill,
North Carolina where last week
he wrote sixteen final examina.-
tions. Although regretting the
dearth of Christian friendships in
the service (in the group of 165
men with whom he worked, four
were Christians), Air Cadet Mac-
Donald was glad for the opportuni-ties
he had to witness to his mates
about the saving grace of God.
Also a visitor to the Campus for
a few days last week was Yeoman
3/c Margaret Swanson of the
WAVES. "Mugs" is currently sta-tioned
at the Naval Air Station at
Jacksonville, Florida, but expects
to be sent overseas some time this
summer.
Pvt. Warren Palmquist of the
Army Air Forces writes from Vic-torville,
California, that he now
has a "white collar job" in an of-fice
interviewing men. His new
address is Sq. A, VAAF, Victor-ville,
California.
Congratulations are in order for
Cpl. Stanley Yamashita, better
known to Bethelites as Stan John-son,
who will be graduated from
the Army Intelligence School at
Fort Snelling next Saturday. Stan
will then enjoy a short furlough
before being sent to the west coast
for overseas service.
Ensign John Danielson is anoth-er
airman who enjoyed a short
leave recently. Enroute to a west
coast embarkation point, Johnny
stopped off at his alma mater last
week just in time to witness the
Bethel-Hamline game on May 7.
His jovial and corlial manner left
an indelible impression upon the
Bethel campus.
The United States Army receiv-ed
another Bethelite into its ranks
on May 10, as Stamford Widen
took the oath of allegiance. Stam
left two days later for Jefferson
Barracks, Missouri, where Uncle
Sam courteously provided him
with a new spring suit of kahki.
Sophomores
Express
Appreciation
The cooperation of the Arian
Chorus, the Male Quartette, and
trumpeter, Bob Nelson resulted in
a most commendable concert on
Friday, May 4. The program was
sponsored by the sophomore class.
The Arian Chorus, under the
capable direction of Mr. Nels
Stjernstrom, won the complete ap-proval
of a large audience with
harmoniously blended and well se-lected
numbers. It was a fitting
close to the chorus' successful sea-son.
Negro spirituals were sung by
the Male Quartette with their us-ual
sparkle and zest.
Bob Nelson played the beautiful
"Holy City" and the brilliant
"Carnival of Venice" to round out
the evening of melody.
The Sophomore Class desires to
express its sincere thanks to all
of these musicians.

Bulber-Lytton has beautifully
phrased a question as follows:
"Who that has loved knows not
the tender tale
Which flowers reveal, when lips
are coy to tell?"
Few there are who are unaware
that flowers often speak meanings
that lie too deep for words. But
to the uninitiated there is such a
confusion of meanings that an at-tempt
briefly to catalogue some of
the more common flowers may not
be amiss. In, the listing that fol-lows
the name of the flower will
be followed by the meaning to be
conveyed for the recipient's inter-pretation:
Red roses—I love you
Yellow roses—I am jealous
Japanese roses—Hari-kiri would
look good on you
Narcissus—Next to me I like you
best
Honeysuckle—I'm afraid I'm get-ting
stung
Morning glory--You look pretty
washed out by evening
Bachelor button—Will you tend to
my knitting?
Four o'clock—Meet me in the Cof-fee
Shop
Bleeding heart—An abnormal car-diac
condition
Pansy—Can't you take it, sister?
Poppies—Just one dope after an-other
Moccasin flower—I'm hot on your
trail
Baby's breath—Hurrah for Lister-ine
Jack-in-thePulpit—Could you live
on a pastor's salary?
Or one may mix two or more
varieties of flowers to convey his
sentiments. The foxglove, night-shade,
and snapdragon may be
combined to say, "Beware of hold-ing
hands after dark with a wolf."
The Lady's Slipper interspersed
with the cat-tail may indicate that
some talkative wench may yet put
her foot in it.
It is altogether proper to en-close
one's card with the gift of
flowers. A personal card and not
a business card should be used as
it is considered unromantic to ad-vertise
dog food or plumbing
equipment with the same message
as speaks of one's affections. One
may give expression to his esthetic
nature by penning an appropriate
verse on the card. The message
may be personalized by selecting
a familiar line of poetry and add-ing
an original line to speak the
feelings of one's heart, as follows:
"Ye living flowers that skirt the
eternal frost,"
Please tell the gal I'm late—my
collar button's lost.
It is sometimes hard to capture
such a beautiful sentiment but one
can always impress with one's po-etic
talent merely by taking care
that both lines end with words
that rhyme.
We took 'em down, the storm win-dows
down,
Eric, the boys, and I.
We thought they'd been up for far
too long,
So we took 'em down with a will
and a song,
With a will and a hearty cry; a
cry
Of "take 'em down, all of 'em
down,"
From Eric, the boys, and I.
Mishaps often occur to becloud
skies otherwise clear and blue.
Flowers dispel the gloom in ad-mirable
fashion. If you should step
on the formal of the lady of your
choice and she should fall in a
heap, send her a bouquet of cow-slips
with a bit of lovely verse.
Again use a familiar line of poetry
and add one of your own to put
across the message you desire to
convey. May I suggest something
as follows :
"This is the forest primeval,"
Please pardon last might's up-heaval.
Yes, fellows, romance can be
yours, so say it with flowers.
"Pin -Ups"
By Mary Lou Rademacher
Several of the fellows on our
baseball team were overjoyed to
have their pictures taken by some
of the feminine spectators at the
game with Hamline a week ago
Monday. Roland Gustafson debat-ed
a long time whether or not to
wear his mask. We helped him
decide—he wore it. Bob Nelson
held his bandaged hand up to the
Kodak. In spite of the fact that
it was cut nearly to the bone he
played a good (?) game. Clarence
Sahlin and Walter Eddy grinned
from one ear to the other when
asked for their pictures. Gene Ny-man
posed holding the bat for
proper effect. (Incidentally, Gene,
do you still want three dozen pic-tures
for your classmates?) And
we must not forget to mention Bill
Peterson who stood in front of the
camera with that typical moronic
look on his face. "Love Bird"
Forsline was so occupied with his
mate that he had no time to have
his picture taken. (Of course some
one has to keep score, too.)
On the whole the boys cooperat-ed
very well. We appreciate it,
but there is one thing we would
like to know. Were those of you
who were camera shy wise to the
fact that we had no film in the
camera?
We washed 'em down, the wide
windows down,
Eric, the boys, and I.
They'd been smutty from smoke
for far too long,
So we washed 'em down with a
will and a song,
With a will and a hearty cry; a
cry
Of "wash 'em down, all of 'em
down"
From Eric the boys, Eric the boys,
Eric the boys and I.

Snatches
By Bill Peterson
"The dorm was alive when I
crawled into bed,
And visions of Ankerberg danced
in my head."
My heart sort of went out to
poor Burt. He came home from
the lunch counter, opened the door
to his room, and was greeted by
four walls, no more, not even a
light bulb. Then began a scaven-ger
hunt that probed its searching
fingers into every nook and cran-ny
of the seen. The mattress was
found on the chapel roof, the
spring atop the stacks in the li-brary,
the dresser in the north-west
room, and other pieces of
furniture and articles of attire in
other places!
The same evening and the same
place formed the setting for anoth-er
festive event. The U.S.S. Mc-
Birnie, christened with a goodly
portion of prune juice, slid down
the ways into the inky (and I do
mean inky) waters of North End
Bay (the bathtub). Quite a few
launchings have been taking place
of late; such small craft as the
U.S.S. Appelquist and the U.S.S.
Harris Johnson, and larger vessels
such as the S.S. Ankerberg.
One dreadful thing has hap-pened
which saddens our hearts
over here. O'Brien's Steak Den
has announced that there will be a
shortage of "Blue Ribbons" due
to an insufficiency of red points.
The gourmands' belts will resort
to those much neglected notches
once more.
Guess who! Brisk of step, a
cheery "Hi Fellas, master of the

student, partaker and ringleader of
bathtub parties, with the appear-ance

issue of "Sem Snatches" to the an-swer

EMILY GETS LEFT

SIGNS OF SPRING
By WALFRED PETERSON
REMINISCENSES
By MABEL ANDERSON
When in September '43, ..I entered Bethel's door,
Little did I realize the things that were in store.
And now' two years of Bethel days are drawing to an end.
It's almost time to say goodbye to every Bethel friend.
But with adieus, within the mind come many mem'ries too
Of all the Bethel family and the things they say and do.
First of all the dorm life comes quickly to my mind;
The many things that happened there will ne'er be left behind.
"Please, in bed by 11:00", is what the dorm rules say,
However, many Bethel girls propose a longer day.
With noise after 11:00 the gong would surely sound,
And always when this happened Phyllis Johnson could be found...
Jumping quickly out of bed, "Say, is morning here already?
I must hurry to the kitchen and prepare the noon spaghetti!"
And after Phyll had dressed and was looking half alive;
My, was she surprised to find 'twas 'leven forty-five!
Over in the college there are many mem'ries too,
The Coffee Shop, the P. 0. box, the things we didn't do.
Just at the moment Freshman Week is clear within my mind;
Things more merry than their stunts would sure be hard to find.
Hazelruth Quiggle greeted A. J. Wingblade with a grin,
"Are you also new at Bethel, or what year are you in?"
One day in chapel service in a rather lengthy prayer
Miss Nelson turned around and caught the eyes of a freshie there.
-And, why were your eyes open?" did the teasing freshie say,
To which Miss Nelson quickly answered we should "watch and pray".
And now that June is nearly here, farewells are close at hand,
I know that each of us can say that Bethel has been grand.
For Bethel is the House of God, we all know that is true,
For Christ at Bethel is the Head of what we say and do.
We've all made many cherished friends, and friends we all hold dear.
We graduates will miss them when we are no longer here.
As graduates we thank you all because you've played your part
oeing a friend, a special kind, for Christ is in your heart!

Chiefs Bow
To Pipers
In Ninth 1-0
By Frank Shindo
On Monday, May 7, in Norton
Field the Hamline Pipers nosed
out Bethel's Indians in the ninth
inning by a margin of 1-0. It was
the fourth game of the season for
the Chiefs, and they showed im-provements
both in the field and
at bat.
Chucker Bob Sandin of Bethel
allowed only three hits and struck
out eleven men, but occasionally
ran into trouble because of lack
of control. Hamline's Ryan also
allowed three hits, striking out
nine and walking two.
Bethel started with a bang and
had Gustafson and Eddy on second
and third with one out in the first
inning, but the rally did not pay
off.
In the sixth frame Sandin got
into hot water as Hamline had
men on second and third with no-body
out. Lloyd Peterson relieved
the situation somewhat by pop-ping
to Sahlin. Rollie Seltz, who
formerly was short-stop with Ro-chester
of the International League
was then purposely passed filling
the bases, but Sandin got the next
two men on an infield fly and a
fly to left.
In the latter half of the ninth
Hamline again loaded the bases
with one out on a hit batsman,
Sandin's sixth pass, and an infield
single between third and short.
Stark fanned, but with the count
three and one on Third Baseman
Pat Gerahty, Sandin threw a
fourth wide one, and the winning
run was forced across the plate.

Sketch of Bethel's
Outstanding Athlete
By Bill Thompson
While many teams participating
in the national pastime this year
have lost a considerable number
of players, Bethel has obtained a
player, Bob Sandin, who is prov-ing
to possess remarkable base-ball
abilities. Performing at the
third baseman's position at the
first of the year, he has recently
been pressed into service on the
mound, and although lacking in ex-perience,
has been doing an ad-mirable
job.
Bob has pitched 2 full games of
the four Bethel has played thus
far in the season. In these two
games he struck out twenty-seven
men, walked seven, doled out only
twelve hits, and allowed seven
scores.
Bob hails from Skokie, Illinois,
where his father served in a pas-torate.
It was in high school there
that he made his varsity baseball
team.
His driving attitude is manifest-ed
in everything he does. He
works and studies as diligently
and quietly as he participates in
athletic events.
On the field Bob hurls the pellet
calmly with speed and accuracy in
spite of weather or other opposi-tion.
He displays fine sportsman-ship
in everything he does and re-ceives
praise for his fine work
modestly. With his many quali-ties
as a keen athlete goes a vital
Christian testimony that rings true
for his Lord and Savior and
prompts his actions as a humble
sportsman.

Augsburg Raps
Bethel Nine 7-4
By Roland Gustafson
On May 3, Bethel lost its second
baseball game of the '45 season
to .Augsburg College by a score of
7-4 on the Veteran's Hospital Field
in Minneapolis. Bethel started
Wes Lindblom on the mound and
Augsburg countered with North-felt.
It did not take the Indians
long to catch on to the left-hand-ed
slants of the Augie's hurler, and
they led in the third inning, 3-0.
However, during the' third with
the bases jammed with Bethelites,
Clair Strommen, Augsburg's star
pitcher, who is also the property
of the St. Louis Cardinals, was
sent to the mound, and the War-riors'
bats were effectively si-lenced.
In the fifth and sixth frames
Augsburg scored six runs and that
coupled with the one they had
scored in the fourth was enough
to win. Meanwhile Bethel remain-ed.
impotent at the plate, even
when Strommen left the hill and
Luke Gronseth came in to hurl for
the Augies. The Indians did threat-en
again in the ninth inning, but
the rally was nipped after one run
had crossed the plate. Lindblom
pitched well until he tired in the
sixth, when Bob Sandin took over.
Gustafson caught for Bethel and
led the hitting with two hits.

QUARTER SYSTEM
(Continued from page 1)
There will also be a revision of
the entrance requirements. A stu-dent
may enter Bethel Junior Col-lege
by one of the following meth-ods:
1. High school graduation with
the completion of twelve one-cred-it
courses and a rank in upper two-thirds
of the class.
2. High school graduation and a
rank in upper one-third of the
class regardless of courses taken
on credits earned.
3. Veterans of World War II ad-z
mitted on a specialized basis as
indicated by accredited agencies.
4. Mature students of twenty-five
years or over admitted by en-trance
examination.
The quarter system will in-crease
costs somewhat. Under the
expanded program the tuition fee
will be increased to fifty dollars
per quarter, or one hundred and
fifty dollars per year. The tuition
fee for part-time students will be
five dollars per credit per quarter.
Another move taken is combining
matriculation, activities and lab-ratory
fees into one inclusive as-sessment
of twelve and a half dol-lars.
