You men plagued with women
talkers will welcome the news re-ported
by the National Institute
for Human Relations. The Ameri-can
woman has actually cut her
rate from 175 words per minute to
160 per minute since the beginning
of the war. Women talkers are
still dangerous in my estimation.
It's not how much they talk, but
what they say!

If any of you fellows want a
cheap vacation this summer, I have
just the place for you. Gov. Dewey
of New York has just raised the
NeW York State allowance for peo-ple
in jail from 60c to $1 a day. If
that news doesn't make the New
York taxpayers happy, it should at
least cheer up the tramps!

Two bits of news regarding pro-tection
from atom bomb effects
have been released. The Navy has
disclosed that submarines stood up
very satisfactorily against the Bi-kini
atom bombs.
And here is something that
should console people concerned
with the ill-effects of atomic radi-ation.
Two University of Chicago
scientists have revealed that a
commercial dye, tolivdine blue, is
an effective antidote to "thinning"
of the blood and eventual hemor-age
that is caused by radio-active
particles.
Clop . . . clop . . . clop . . . the
methodical gait of the jailer, the
jangle of the keys, and clang of
the iron gate at the end of the
long corridor. Now the warden
opened the barred door and beck-oned
for me to join the procession
down the "last mile." Reluctantly,
I followed him into a brightly-lighted
room with no furniture
save a platform above which was
suspended the noose . . . reserved
for me. I was soon on the plat-form
and from behind me a hand
came to rest on my shoulder. I
shuddered and closed my eyes in
fearful expectancy. When 1 open-ed
my eyes, I was in the dark and
the hood had been slipped over my
head very silently. As I stretched
my neck in anticipation of the
hemp necklace, I saw a window
with no bars, and bright sunshine
falling across the ledge. I noticed
ceiling lights with shades, book
cases in tiers reaching the ceiling,
With nearly 1200 miles of con-cert
tour behind them, 28 tired
male chorus members returned to
school late Sunday night. The
tour, which took the men through
Iowa, South Dakota, and Minne-sota,
was of one week's duration
and was the annual spring concert
tour.
The trip was made in the school
bus driven on alternate days by
Paul Leafblad and Phil McClain.
Considering all things, the bus held
up remarkably well. Bad weather
and almost unbelievable road con-ditions
in Iowa and South Dakota
failed to disrupt the time-table, and
all concerts were held as announc-ed
Most of the men received an
intimate acquaintance with mud in
all its forms, even to the extent
of having to be extricated by trac-tor
from some farms.
The itinerary was as follows:
Worthington, Minn.; Sioux City,
Ia. ; Big Springs and Sun Prairie,
S. D.; Lake Sarah, Alexandria, St.
Cloud, Brainerd, and Milaca, Minn.
The Girls' Chorus is scheduled to
start its annual tour on April 25.
Also traveling"in the school bus,
they will tour Wisconsin, Michi-gan,
and Illinois.
and a huge pile of books in front
of me. Nor was I alone, for the
hand on my shoulder belonged to
the lovely blonde librarian who
now smiled and said, "Here's your
book you asked for." Soon my
thoughts were back to reality and
I wished that my dream were true
because, well, I knew that the tor-ture
of writing a research paper
was mine.
However, I bravely began writ-ing

"He Is Risen"
Is BWA Theme
"He is Risen" was the theme
of yesterday afternoon's BWA
meeting, presented under the di-rection
of that organization's ex-ecutive
committee.
In addition to the devotional
program, special music was plann-ed
by Joyce Johnson and Ruth
Ekstrom.
This was the last BWA meet-ing
before the formal spring ban-quet,
which is planned for the ear-ly
part of May.

really smiled at me nicely . . .
"there is need for experts in this
field since so many of the doctors

refuse me a date if I asked her.
Just then she returned with an-other
book and with a trace of a
sarcastic smirk on her face, hand-ed
me the volume and remarked,
"Did you ask for this bibliogra-phy?"
I answered in the affirma-tive
and laughingly answered, "All
I have to do is copy 20 references
and my research paper will be
completed." She smiled and re-turned
to her desk. As I watched
her, I thought that she looked very
familiar but I could not quite place
her in my memory. Hurriedly, I
copied the references, closed my
notebook, and started to leave the
room. As I sauntered by her desk
During fourth hour this morning
the entire student body gathered
in the college chapel for the sec-ond
NAS rally, the first being held
last year. This rally was sponsor-ed
by the Student Council under
the direction of the publicity com-mittee.
The program was led by Carl Ol-son,
who explained NAS or New
Athletic Stadium. The drive for
funds of $100,000 was begun last
year by the student body who
pledged $15,000 for a period of five
years. Plans this year are for a
goal of $25,000 through the stu-dent
body—their own pledges and
those of friends whom they con-tact.
Coach Paul Edwards presented
the ne( d of the stadium from the
view of other schools and the con-ference.
Bob Daley presented the
need in relation to the school and
the student body. The need of stu-dent
pledges was presented by Bob
Sandin, basketball captain and -
Student Council president. Harold
Christenson made a plea for stu-dents
to contact friends to pledge
toward the fund.
B.W.F. To Give
Annual Concert
The Bethel Women's Federation
Chorus, directed by Bonnevieve
Opel-, will present its annual spring
concert in the College Chapel next
Friday, April 25. Assisting artists
will be Evelyn Rieke, violinist and
Harry T. Opel, baritone.
The chorus is sponsored by a
group of women from Twin City
Baptist churches, who in other
ways work for Bethel's welfare.
Each spring the chorus makes a
tour which includes the area
around the Twin Cities.
The concert will begin at 8:15.
Tickets for the event cost 75c.
for another look, I suddenly, with
a great pain in my stomach, re-membered
that I had met her at
the semi-formal concert . . . and
that she was Miss Berthas room-mate.
Now my "goose is cooked," I
thought, and I quickly went out of
the building on my way to a Min-neapolis
library thinking of a new
topic, "The Vices of Plagiarism."

$100,000 Goal
For NAS Asked
We dare not assert that Bethel's
development is complete. Regard-less
of what we say about an ex-pansion
of the school's program,
it is evident that in some respects
we are in need of much improve-ment.
The inability of the present ath-letic
program to supply the de-mands
of our rapidly growing stu-dent
body is becoming more and
more noticeable. This year, the
lack is more in evidence than it
has ever been in the history of the
school. The revival of the South-ern
Minn. Junior College confer-ence
makes it even more impera-tive
for Bethel to obtain suitable
athletic equipment. Nor does any-one
need to be reminded that the
present provisions for spectators
approach the ridiculous.
Recognizing this condition, the
student council last year, inaugu-rated
a drive to collect $100,000 for
a field house. In a couple of
months about 200 students pledged
nearly $15,000. Encouraged by the
enthusiastic response the council
announced that it has hopes of ob-taining
an additional $25,000 this
year to make a total of around
$40,000 from Bethel students alone.
The goal is not unattainable.
Two hundred students could, by
pledging a dollar per month for
five years, auras a sum of $12,000.
If an additional 200 secured similar
pledges from one personal acquain-tance
away from school the goal
would be all but reached. If but
half of our some 500 students were
to back the drive 100 per cent, the
anticipated $40,000 would easily be
obtained. We must throw ourselves
into this campaign with all the
earnestness that youth can muster.
Depending upon the intensity of
our support, the day is not far dis-stant
that will find Bethel with a
field house of which it can be
proud.
He called them to repent, and
their answer was the nails; He
said, "Come unto me," and they
cast Him out.
—C. B. Akenson.
There they crucified Him, and I
was one of the "they," and there
you stood.
—C. B. Akenson.
The Lord is the same yesterday,
today, and forever; He cannot
change; we must change.
—Joyce Johnson.
The man who does his routine
job well is the man who will excel
in extra-curricular activity.
—0. E. Sandin.
The first step, if we are to make
amends with God, is to humble
ourselves.
—Joyce Johnson.
The forgiveness asked a n d
granted to others never went deep
enough to pour in the oil that
heals.
—Joyce Johnson.
The crown I should have worn,
He wore; the nails I should have
borne, He bore.

I recommend that you stop play-ing
hide-and-seek with the Lord—
it is a losing game.

Satan's greatest victory is sin
in the life and heart of the Chris-tian.

Too -Baity4
It seems that one of our last
editorials stirred up quite a bit
of discussion. Well, perhaps we
should be happy; an editorial
that arouses no comment is a
failure.
The unfortunate part is that
a good many people at whom
we were not aiming were of-fended.
Largely, that was our
fault, in that we made the edi-torial
too inclusive and the lead
paragraph too strong.
The Clarion apologizes to all
you who, while innocent of the
editorial's charges, were offend-ed
by its phraseology.
Trials Found
In. School, Too
In a few months school will be
over and we will no longer be sur-rounded
entirely by Christians. Al-ready
there have been discussions
about the time when we will be
among worldly people and exposed
to the pitfalls of the world. It is
expected that all kinds of trials
and tests will arise.
The fact often overlooked is that
the most insidious trials are not
to be found in the world, but rath-er
we are having and have had
them right here.
There is a tendency to think
that, because all our companions
are Christians, our actions and
speech need not be controlled. The
attitude is that "they know I don't
mean it that way." So we indulge
in a bit of harmless gossip, paro-dy
and make jokes of Scripture,
and in other ways act in ways un-becoming
to a Christian.
If we wouldn't want non-Chris-tians
to watch us do some things,
we shouldn't want .Christians to
see us do them.
No, the test is not somewhere in
the future. It is right here.
There are still those who have
not paid up their Spire photos or
class dues. Pay up now.

I believe it is in Mexico that the
people will often say with a shrug
of the shoulders a word that means
"tomorrow." It is true that the
word might signify hope and in-spiration
but when it rather sug-gests
the putting off of a pressing
duty it becomes the symbol of an
unprogressive people.
"Procrastination is the thief of
time.
Year after year it steals away
Till all are sped—
Then leaves to one brief moment
The vast import of an eternal
theme."
In student life this is often the
case. The daily work which could
have been done quite easily is put
off to the last, and the result may
become a feverish and futile at-tempt
to do the impossible.
Furthermore, a duty consciously
put off becomes a constant burden
and worry. And so keen business
men have put up the reminder:
"Do it now!"
Also when several tasks await
action and some are seemingly
more distasteful than others it is
well to tackle the most difficult
first. This done, the program is
well underway, and a sense of
peace and progress pervades the
mind.
Usually a matter is never quite
as hard or formidable as one may
imagine. If tackled squarely it
will soon surrender and, better
still, become a friend. The boy

I'm in a forlorn mood. It's spring
already. This is the season when
my fancy should be lightly turn-ing,
but somehow outside of my
"extra" extra curricular activities
my heart is depressed. Maybe
without too much research I can
trace down the cause for this de-pleted
condition.
Back on February 28th, 37 en-thusiastic
candidates reported to
track coach Bob Daley with the de-sire
and promise to give all their
athletic energy toward shaping up
a cinder team for Bethel. This
crew worked hard and gave up a
lot in order to make good their
promise. They limped around the
corridors of school from shin
sprains and tired, sore leg muscles.
Their left foot ached continuously
from those close, sharp corners in
the gym and their lungs grew raw
everytime they ventured outdoors
to stretch out their legs and tried
to develop a stride.
Everything seemed to work
against coach Bob in his plans and
Apt. Families
Acquire Cars
Spring has turned the thoughts
of the families in the apartments
toward automobiles. Ray Sand-berg
and Karl Rosenquist have
both acquired V-8 Fords and were
immediately sold car wax by Arth-ur
Sather. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
and Mr. and Mrs. K. Greenman
have a joint partnership in a car
to take them back to California
this summer.
The bed doors have finally been
installed in the apartments, thus
covering up the unsightly unfolded
bed. One housewife was known to
jump out of bed in the morning,
forgetting about the newly install-ed
doors, and had a "head collu-sion"
with them.

children's playroom provided in
the basement of the apartment
building.

when they thought that the gym
was theirs for -training there would
be another basketball game, anoth-er
volley-ball tournament, or anoth-er
session with basketball enthusi-asts
as to who had the better right

The trackmen's spirits were high
when they had the permission to
work out in the University field
house, but that faded out again.
Plans had to be changed to con-form
with a last-minute University
schedule.
To top off all these grievances,
only about a quarter of the needed
equipment could be acquired.
Track shoes had to be bought in-dividually
by each man.
Candidates were warned at the
start that there would be more
work than glory in this sport, but
many didn't realize until they had
to report daily for back-breaking

For First Meet
The first track meet that the
Bethel track team will participate
in this year is to be held at Fair-mont,
Minn., with Bethel opposing
Shattuck, a military school; the
meet will take place on April 19.
Another meet scheduled at present
is to be held at Macalester on May
9th when a duel meet will be held.
Also a meet is scheduled at St.
Thomas and another at Macalester.
The team is reported to be in
very good shape at present, and
the outlook to the trophy case is
pleasant. We now have 3 milers,
5 half-milers, 3 fast hurdlers, 2
high jumpers, 3 on the shot put, 3
hurling the discuss and 3 pole-vaulting.
The team also claims a
number of fast sprinters on the
440 and the 220.

Easter Service
In Candlelight
An Easter Candlelight service
was held in the Chapel on Thurs-day
evening, April 13, by the stu-dents
who remained on the campus
over the Easter vacation. The pro-gram
was centered around the last
week in the life of Christ and was
arranged on the theme of Christ
triumphant in Death and Resurec-tion.
Carl Olson directed the program
in which Lois Norberg and Ralph
Larson read prophecies and ful-fillments
from Scripture concern-ing
Christ, alternately with speci-al
music.
Special music consisted of duets
by Everet and Roy Johnson and by
Kathryn Nelson and Phyllis Bord-well;
solos by Clarence Larson,
Kathryn Nelson, and Bill Wright;
a trio by June Edman, Evelyn
Stolhammer, and Grace Gustafson,
and a quartet composed of Phil
McLain, Willis Dahlmen, Byron
Skalman and Joe Lingensjo, with
Mary Fulton at the piano. The
Chapel Choir also sang.
An Easter Sunrise Service was
led Easter morning in the Chapel
by Clarence Larson. Bill Stearns
provided special music and Pro-fessor
Maurice Lawson spoke, cen-tering
his message around the
theme If Christ Had Not Risen
From the Dead. The audience sang

Meet For Prayer
At 6:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Friday the bell rings in the
girls' dorm telling those who are
there that it is time for prayer
meeting. On these evenings the
Bethel students meet in their sep-arate
groups for prayer.
During this time the group usu-ally
has scripture reading, Bible
study a n d prayer. Numerous
groups have taken a specific book
as the leader wishes. A number of
prayer requests are always on
hand for the group.
On Monday evening all unite in
a praise service in the College
Chapel. Those groups which have
had definite answers to their, pray-er
requests often tell of their ex-perience.
This praise service ends
with a short time of prayer.
The other united service of the
week is Missionary Prayer Meeting
on Thursday evening, at that time
those interested in China, South
America, Europe, the Islands, Af-rica,
India, or home missions unite
in prayer.

fed too good lately where did my
crumb box go im tired of climbing
into the waste basket to lick cheer-io
wrappers its hard work and be-sides

dumped me into the incinerator
i think i deserve a little consid-eration
around this joint after all
whose column makes this sloppy
rag worth reading anyway i ask
you
but thats you all over boss a
heart like a nether millstone no ap-preciation
of genius in you at all
some day ill eat ddt and then youll
be sorry
and boss will you kindly tell
them girls what play volley ball
not to scream so loud i cant sleep
afternoons anymore what with
them raising their melodious voic-es
in well modulated shrieks like
a ragged fingernail on a black-board
and tell bud johnson not to
snore no loud when he sleeps on
the table i nearly got blown away
when i was picking his teeth yes-terday
it grieves me that you should
have that spring cold boss why
