Bethel College and Seminary this week entered upon the second
quarter of the year with at least sixteen new students enrolling. Classes
were resumed on Monday, December 3 after students had completed
the fall quarter with one week of final examinations.
Courses begun for the new quarter are freshman composition,
beginning German, trigonometry,
theory of music, botany, ethics, ru-ral
sociology, social usage, and
epistles of Paul. Students who had
proper qualifications were permit-ted
to break into the second quar-ter
of several courses already in
progress, including modern History
American government, English lit-erature
and several Bible courses.

Holiday Vacation
"Christmas vacation will offici-ally
start at five o'clock Friday
afternoon DeceMber 21," announ-ced
President Henry Wingblade.
Classes will begin again January
7, 1946.
Farewells will be in order when
the Girl's dorm holds a program
and smorgAsbord at 3:30 on Fri-day
afternoon. The new dining
hall will be decorated for the oc-sasion
and a fire in the fireplace
will add a festive note.
Most students are planning to
go home for Christmas, all the way
from New York to California, but
for those who plan to stay here
and work, a choir is being organ-ized,
and students have been re-quested
to sign up on the bulletin
board.
"If it's anything like Thanks-giving
was, I'd really like to be
here for it," comment many stud-ents
who claim they were closer
to God than they have been in
many months.
But then . . . there's no place like
home!
Voth To Speak
At Mission Band
The Missionary Band held its
regular monthly meeting on • Wed-nesday,
November 14. Mrs. Frank-lin
Nelson, missionary to Burma,
spoke and showed moving pictures
of the work being carried on there.
On Monday evening November
19 the first study group was held.
The first portion of the time was
spent in singing and in praying for
missionaries laboring on the home
fields and then Rev. Albert Berg-falk
led a discussion on the Need
for Home Missions."
The next regular meeting of the
group is to be held on Wednesday,
December 12. Missionary Voth
from Siam will be the speaker.

new building.
Dr. Karl J. Karlson read Scrip-ture
and led in prayer. Appropri-ate
remarks were made by Rev.
H. Wyman Malmgten, assistant to
the president. Then Dr. Hagstrom
broke the ground and Rev. J. G.
Johnson of the Elim Baptist .
Church of Minneapolis offered the
dedicatory prayer. Maurice Lundh
and William Peterson, students in
the seminary, sang and then the
steam shovel took over.
The three-story building will be
120 feet long and 45 feet wide and
will house eighty-nine men. The
structure is to be complete by
June 1. The blue-prints provide for
a hand-ball court, a volley ball
court, a "canteen for campers fel-lowship,"
and a chapel. The Stand-ard
Construction Company of Min-neapolis,
which .has put up two of
the other three buildings on the
campus, is also erecting this fourth
edifice.
Sem Seniors
Attend Confab
Eighteen men and two girls,
comprising the senior class of
Bethel Theological Seminary, and
also a few members of the facul-ty,
this week attended a conferen-ce
at the Northern Baptist Theo-logical
Seminary in Chicago. The
conference began at two o'clock on
Tuesday, December 4, and ended
at noon on Thursday, December 6.
The purpose of this biennial con-ference
is to give the graduating
class of our seminary a picture of
the missionary program and world
wide needs of the Baptist work in
general. Reports were given about
the various phases of the Baptist
work.
Several of the future preachers
spoke in Chicago churches on Sun-day,
December 2. The churches
responded very well in affording
the students this experience.
The seminary senior classes
were dismissed to allow the stu-dents
to attend the conference.
Ray Applequist
Completes Trip
Chaplain 1st Lt. Raynold Appel-quist,
who has been assigned to the
Army troopship, New Bern Vic-tory,
has just completed his first
voyage to LaHavre, France.
On Saturday, December 1, a sing-spiration
was conducted in the
Bethel College chapel in conjunc-.
tion with the Twin City Bible and
Missionary conference which was
held throughout the week in 12
General Conference churches in
the Twin City area.
Rev. A. C. Conrad of the Baptist
Church in Ballard, Washington di-rected
the singing and brought a
message at the singspiration. Also
present to bring special numbers
were the Good Fellowship Quartet,
and a brass trio and violinist Emil
A. Balliet from North Central Bible
Institute, Minneapolis.
Speakers at the one week con-ference
included Rev. Lester
Thompson of Muskegon, Michigan,
Rev. Anton Pearson of Bethel Sem-inary,
Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Bu-ker
and Mrs. Franklin 0. Nelson,
missionaries from Burma, mission-aries
Elsie Larson and Grace Coot
per, and four foreign mission ap-pointees
who are soon to leave
for foreign service under our con-ference
mission board.
The conference closed on Sunday
when a large missionary rally was
held in the Central Baptist church
of St. Paul with Rev. Conrad bring-ing
the message.
"Christmas" Theme
of Convocation
On Tuesday, December 11, 1945,
the fourth in a series of evening
convocations will be held in the
auditorium of Bethel Jr. College.
Entertainment for the evening
will include motion pictures of
Sweden, as well as several Christ-mas
numbers from the mixed cho-rus
of the college. The entire pro-gram
will be directed by Nels
Stjernstrom.
Students a n d faculty members
are urged to attend this worthwhile
and entertaining meeting.
A number of the new students
are entering the school under the
G. I. Bill of Rights, having been
discharged from the armed servi-ces
in recent months. A few stud-ents
have left the campus for var-ious
reasons, but the enrollment
for the winter quarter will un-doubtedly
see an increase over the
278 who registered in September.
Ex-Bethelites

Former Bethel students, Dave
Carlson, L. K. D. 2nd class„ is vis-iting
this week at Bethel. He has
recently returned from Tokyo Bay
where he was stationed with the
Third United States Fleet on the
U. S. S. Shroeder. Dave is on his
way to the east coast where he will
await further assignment.
Word has been received that
Douglas Smith has been confined

Bethel is expanding. Evidences of the fact are the mountains of
dirt visible on the northeast corner of the campus. Our enrollment, our
curriculum, our facilities, and our activities are being incremented with
the passing of every year.
As a result of this expanded program, our school days are being
crammed full. We are finding that our activities interfere with one
another. And to prevent conflicts in class schedules, it has bee nec-essary
to spread classes throughout the day, so that they too interfere
with extra curricular activities.
In the case of our athletics program„ which is one of the most im-portant
of a school's activities, classes and other activities force our
athletic teams to relinquish their practice periods. As things now stand,
our basketball team has less than five hours a week in which to work
out. Of course, no winning teams can be produced on that basis.
It has been suggested that this situation could be alleviated if we
would hold classes on five and a half days a week. By doing so, we
could hold all of our classes, or practically all of them, before noon,
and leave afternoons relatively free for activities. Thus, instead of hav-ing
English, for example, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, all four
periods of the morning, we could hold them in two periods, one group
meeting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the other on Tuesday,
Thursday, ad Saturday. Such a move would simplify oud schedules
tremendously, and afford greater opportunities for extra-curricular ac-tivities.
It may well be objected that many students work on Saturdays.
But it may also be argued that many do not. There are perhaps as
many objections to making the move as there are favorable arguments.
We ask that our student body express itself, so that something may
be done to solve this pressing problem. Take time to write down your
opinion and leave it in the Clarion office. It will be appreciated.

The late Calvin Coolidge once said that in his observation failure
on the part of men was not due so much to lack of ability as to lack
of application. And no doubt the same holds trite for students.
Thomas Edison emphasized the fact that genius consisted almost
one hundred per cent of hard work. Given only a small spark of ability,
how much can be accomplished if
it is only kept aglow by faithful-ness
and industry.
Even at Bethel we have had top
I. Q.'s which have remained very
mediocre i n accomplishment b e-cause
of the lack of effort. Con-versely
we have had average tal-ent
or less which has risen to
high accomplishment at school,
and afterward attained a strong
and influential place in leadership
and service, because of sincere
application and hard work.
I think we can safely say that
no student at Bethel need fail, if
he is willing to apply himself dil-igently
and concentrate on the task
at hand.
William James speaks of the
"second wind" of the racer, and
then points out that to the soul of
man there is not only a "second
wind" but a third and a fifth and
a tenth — — and who shall meas-ure

of a human soul?
All right this antidote for fail-ure
and discouragement is hard

no substitute. Was it Robert Bruce

Eric Begins Third
Year As Custodian
One of the most cheerful and likeable men that can be found any-where
has been on the Bethel campus for over three years. His Swea-ish
brogue, his ready laugh, his wit, his acting, his diligence in work
are traits that make him unforgettable.
Eric was born in VastergOtland, Sweden, on September 5, 1900 on
the boat to have coffee and stayed
too long, so he was left alone in
New York with two-bits.
Eric had several jobs in New
York. He was an undertaker's hel-per
(he "carried bodies"), was a
dishwasher and later the second
cook in a New York cafeteria, -and
had a job in a lumberyard. (He
quit because there was never any-thing
to do).
.After a short stay in Pawtucket,
R. I.„and in Racine, Wisconsin,
Eric landed in Chicago and took
a job in a piano factory. In 1924
he was converted and joined a
Baptist church. He was a care-taker
in the Raveslo Country Club
and worked i8 a radio factory and
a furniture store before he be-came
janitor of the Englewood
Baptist Church. In 1928 he decid-ed
to "settle down", and was mar-ried
in the Englewood Church. For
sixteen years he kept the south
side church cleaned of cobwebs,
etc., and in 1924 accepted his pres-e
n t position of t h e grounds of

the lungs, and doing damage there

a consequent spread of the infec-tion

Oh, one evenin' just at twilight,
Summer breezes 'gan to blow,
And my thoughts were dark as
midnight,
`Cause I longed for Ind'ja so.
In the arbour of my phansik
Jungle calls rang sharp and clear
But above this mystic music,
Could be heard my friend so dear
Meukaki, the shy baboon.
I was once a jungle monarch
Swingin' through the banyan trees
Mighty apes like roaring Mozart
.Scrambled 'round my knocking
knees.
Dwelling in the jungle fastness
Of the Brahamaputra wild
I had lived in royal highness
With my partner meek and mild
Meukaki, the shy baboon.
We had conquered with our prow-ess
Jungle beast and mountain high
`Cause the Himalayan goddess
Grinned upon us with a sigh.
Every evenin' just at twilight
I would pound my chest and call
To the monkeys in the moonlight
Grouped around the pretty doll
Meukaki, the shy baboon.
These are but the lonely memoirs
Of my days when I would swing
Garbed in fur of noble sambar
In the Mekong like a king
Fate has made me now to linger
Here within the city drear
And the jungle lost a singer
When I bid farewell to dear

ADVICE GIVEN
With a fine crop of good look-ing,
handsome, beautiful, gorgeous,
cute, etc. students on the campus
this year, the business of the dim-inutive
infant with the bow and
arrow has come to merit consider-able
attention.
Since many of the young fl ick-orna
and gossarna are away from
home and parental guidance, the
Clarion is introducing a new ser-vice
commonly and tritely referred
to as a lovelorn column.
If your hands get cold (when
you're outside), if you can't sleep
(in the dorm), if you can't eat
(after a large meal), or if you can't
study, it's two to one you are in
love. Should the state of your em-otions
produce such abnormal ac-tions
on your part, just jot down
your problems and promptly dis-patch
same to Dr. I. M. Helpful in
care of the Clarion Office. No fees
are involved and you need not be
embarrassed as your name will
not appear in any issue.
One week of peace has emerged

of the finals that has made the
dorm comparatively quie t these
past few days. If the profs could
only see what they have caused,
they'd probably hand out more
"F's" per quarter than they already
do, so let's keep mum' about it.

pastime—table football. The field
consists of the bald surface of
some table, preferably a library or
reading room table; and the "pig-skin"
is in the form of a "buffalo
head." No equipment is needed
during competition, but a hard set
of knuckles is desirable. After
thirty minutes of play, Bill Brit-ton's
hands looked like a cubed
steak that had been the object of
a quarrel between two hyenas.
Lloyd Sprecker's hands were the
offensive team. (Speaking of fing-ers—
Fred Allen terms them "ten
eels with hangnails"). Among the
ardent zealots whooping it up on
the sidelines was Dr. Karlson. That
fact automatically sanctions the
sport as an authorized sem pas-little
man who comes around with
his salutes and gay conversations
of "ugh ugh". You can find her
dreamily staring through her sec-ond
story window watching her
dream man playing with the little
kiddies.

DIRTEST DEAL DONE IN THE
DORM was the trick played on
Jackie Lundquist last week-end.
Jackie came in exhausted from a
long trip, expecting to flop down in
bed for a long snooze, but she
found the beds upside down, the
furniture all gone, her clothes all
missing, and gay ornaments hang-ing
from the light fixtures. Won-der

time. There is some talk about a
tournament. If it materializes, the
nurse can expect a leap in the
number of calls she has to make.
Incidentally, when she makes
calls in the men's dorm, it is not
at all unusual for her to spend an
hour with each patient. All I can
say is that it's a good thing we
didn't have men nurses a couple
of weeks ago. Or did we?
Among other casualties over
here we find Bud Siegel with his
index finger the victim of a care-lessly
discarded razor blade. Seri-ously,
let's watch those things.

Scribe Screams at
Stupid Students
The editor looked up from his
paper-strewn desk, put down his
badly chewed pencil and said, "We
need more news. See what you can
do about getting a feature."
"Good." I thought. "I'll find out
what people think of the demerit
system and see if they think the
faculty and student council a r e
justified in wanting to adopt it."
The first people I met were rath-er
evasive. They tried to avoid
answering the question by diving
into the nearest snow bank. The
next person remarked, "If y o u
could get someone else, would you
mind eliminating- me?"
Then I met another student. Af-ter
the usual greeting I popped the
question: What do you think of the
demerit system? The girl looked
at me blandly a n d questioned,
"Wuts thuh demerit system
mean?" Three hours later I fin-ished
the explanation, but I discov-ered
the girl had fallen asleep, so
I covered her with a garbage can
lid and tiptoed silently away.
Rather dejectedly, I sought re-fuge
in the Chemistry lab. Here,
I thought, I'll get a scientific state-ment
from a deep thinking, analy-tical
mind but instead I got a cold
glance and "I've got 5 pages of
-chemistry to do!"
"The English department should
be able to help me in this diffi-culty",
I thought, so I sought out
the best English student. At least
she understood the language. At
last I had found someone w h o
who could help solve the problem,
but no . . . "When do you want it,
next week? I couldn't possibly
turn in anything inferior. I would
first have to outline it, make sure
that it was structurally perfect,
and then write it, exercising ut-most
care as to rules of grammar
and sentence structure."
In desperation I sought the man
of the street . . . "I can't write!"
Then the man of few words . .
"Well, gee, I don't know what to
say." It was too few words, so I
searched more diligently.
Three hours later I came back
to the Clarion office, a bedraggled
looking . creature. No news . . .
no feature. The editor put aside
his tiddley winks gently stroked my
feverish brow and announced that
next week I could try again. Next
week it would be different. Next
week the question would be "Who
do you like best, Superman or the
Lone Ranger?

Indians Lose to Auggies
Wheaton Wins in Close BETHEL BOWS IN FIRST
Casaba Contest; 43-34 STRUGGLE OF THE YEAR
The Bethel Junior College bas-ketball
squad dropped its second
game in a row to Wheaton College
of Wheaton, Illinois, by a score of
45-34. The contest, which was the
opener for the Crusaders current
season, was played on the Whea-ton
floor, on Saturday, December
1.
The game was very close, with
each team matching the other al-most
point for point, and the two
quintets were deadlocked 18-18 at
half-time. Finally with about five
minutes of play remaining the
home team found the basket and
stepped out to win going away.
Adding to the Bethelites' loss
was an ankle injury to their star
guard, Bud Siegel in the latter
minutes of the final period. The
injury forced Siegel, who had al-ready
dropped -ten points through
the hoop, to leave the game, and
may keep him sidelined for sev-eral
days.
Wayne Peterson has been elect-ed
captain of the '45-'46 basketball
team. The tall, seventeen year old
freshman has been playing a con-sistent
and capable game so "far
this year. He scored twenty-eight
points in the first two games play-ed,
making fourteen in each.
Wayne played three years of
varsity basketball f o r Braham
High School of Braham, Minnesota
serving as captain during his sen-ior
year. He played on his high
school football and baseball teams,
and was a standout in these fields
as well.
–.His main interest is music, and
he plans to make this his voca-tion
in life. He is an extremely
talented clarinetist, and is also
studying voice.
On Friday, November 23 on the
spacious floor of the Armory in
Minneapolis, the Bethel Indians
lost to Augsburg College by a score
of 43-35. It was the warriors' first
real tussle of the 1945-46 season,
and the vastness of the floor may
also have had some effect on the
outcome. However, the Auggies
were superior in rebounding and
in controlling the ball and had
things pretty much their way thru-out
the game.
The Indians surprised everyone
by jumping off to a big lead before
the game was barely started as
Nyman and Peterson found the
basket. But Augsburg took over a
few minutes later and led at the
half, 19-13.
Inability to sink free throws
may have been the biggest reason
for Bethel's defeat. They missed
fourteen of the twenty-five they
tried, while Augsburg missed but
three out of fifteen.
