School was somewhat empty yes-terday
because by some peculiar
coincidence all the sophomores de-cided
to skip classes. Many were
found at Phalen Park in furtive
hiding from Bethel's truant officer.
Their day of escape from intel-lectual
persuit started at nine in
the morning, and the weary sopho-mores
returned home in the eve-ning.
Activities consisted of tennis,
baseball, canoeing, etc., in the
morning with organized games in
the afternoon. Two meals were
served and the distinguished per-sonnel
of Bethel's sophomore class
had their fill of hot dogs, beans,
potatoes, meatballs, and all the
other things that help to make
picnic meals perfect.
James (Pie-face) Rehnburg was
the general chairman of the vari-ous
committees. Bud Peterson had
charge of games and Barbara Carl-son
was on the food committee.
A good time was had by all and
it is believed that the day's revolt
against higher learning may have
started a precedent which will con-tinue
through the years. This will
be one of the major contributions
to prosterity made by Bethel's
sophomore class of '47.

Position of Association President
I've always thought that it was
imposssible for a helicopter to
crack up, but I guess there is a
first time for everything. Recent-ly
a Coast Guard helicopter being
used for a demonstration to high
school boys in N. Y. C. gave the
spectators a real demonstration
when the machine slid into the
ground out of control and crashed.

A petition was forwarded to the
city councils of the two cities last
week requesting a change in the
double fare on streetcars between
here and Minneapolis so that it
will only be one token. That is
one petition of which I hope they
take notice. I'm tired of paying
two tokens just to get over to
Minneapolis. It isn't worth it.

The weather has finally begun
to resemble spring, for which the
children seem to be very happy.
But with the coming of this sea-son
there is also danger. Several
days ago Minneapolis Health Com-missioner
Dr. Frank J. Hill gave
a warning that the period of polio
is approaching. He hopefully stated
that "Past experience has indicat-ed
that the scourge does not gen-erally
strike the same locale two
years in a row." Let's hope that

Awards to Be
Given June 6
Extra-curricular awards are to be
made this year for athletics, for-ensics,
journalism, and music. For
participation in athletics, letters
are to be awarded to members of
both teams and to. cheerleaders,
with sweaters for any student who
wins four major letters after grad-uation
from high school. The for-ensics
awards will take the form
of engraved charms of bronze, sil-ver,
and gold according to the
number of years of participation,
while participation by students not
in the forensics class carries a
half-credit per quarter. Work on
the staffs of the Spire and the
Clarion qualifies for both charms
and extra credit. Members of the
choruses and the band will receive
a similar award of a half-credit
per quarter of participation and
bronze charm.
Full requirements for qualifica-tion
were given in a circular issued
to students last week.
AleAis Society
Discuss Movies
The problem of the movies was
fully examined at a panel discus-sion
held by the Alexis Society at
the Seminary on last week Tues-day.
The moral aspects of the
question were discussed. by Sher-burne
Ray. Ralph Larson empha-sized
the Scriptural position, while
Bob Sandin raised the question of
that stand that should be taken
by Bethel. Bob Dischinger presid-ed
as moderator. Most of the en-suing
discussion centered around
the third of the questions, there
being a difference of opinion.

....The nucleus of next year's
Clarion staff is already in ap-prentice
training. Recently the
student body elected Perry Hed-berg
editor - in - chief, Marwin
Lindstedt assistant editor, and
Bob Hamlett business manager.
Lindstedt is the only hold-over
from this year.
It is planned that next year
the Clarion will expend in size
and circulation and will in-crease
its budget.
Soph Breakfast
at Como Park
Dean Carlson played host to the
sophomore class, of which he is
advisor, at a picnic breakfast in
Como park last Friday.
Over 75 students turned out for
ham and eggs, coffee, milk and
rolls, served by Mr. and Mrs. Carl-son.
Breakfast began at 7:00 and
continued late enough to cancel
some first hour classes.
This breakfast has become an
annual custom, as each fall the
sophomores hurridly elect Dean
Carlson as advisor before the
freshmen can organize.
At a meeting held during chapel
on Thursday, May 15, the Bethel
Student Association adopted by a
unanimous vote a new constitution
prefaced by the student council.
After the revision, which makes
alterations in 12 sections of the
older document, had been read, a
motion to accept it as it stood was
passed without a dissenting vote.
One of the most important
changes provided in the new con-stitution
is that which deals with
representatives for the student
council. Representatives hence-forth
will be selected. not by extra-curricular
activity organizations,
but by each organized class in the
school, the two dormitory councils
and the religious council. With
five classes, as there are at pres-ent,
the student council would
have at least thirteen members.
However, the maximum number
of members .is made somewhat in-definite
by the provision that the
chairmen of standing committees
automatically become members of
the council.
A number of other amendments
establishes a new procedure for
nomination and election of the of-ficers
of the association. Under
the new system a nominating com-mittee
under the chairmanship of
the president of the association,
is appointed by the student council
to prepare a primary slate. The
two nominees who poll the high-est
number of votes in the ,pri-mary
election are then paired in a
final election before May 15. New
representatives for the student

Season Ends
A cotton-picking atmosphere was
created in the Chapel on Tuesday

and deserved a greater mea-sure
of support than the size of

In the Spring a young man's fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of Nancy,
Mary, Alice, Gert, or Lou,
And many hundreds others, too!
In Spring when days are mild and
hazy,
A young man literally goes crazy
With great displays of his devotion
To groups as wide as any ocean.
He wears a tie, he slicks his hair,
He's very sage when girls are
there!
Before a glass he'll primp and
preen,
Such "duding up" was never seen!
He frisks and gambols on the
green
And acts like all of sweet sixteen.
Just like a colt that's hard to
tether,
And all because of balmy weather!
Nov, listen gals, take my advice:
Even though our boys are awfully
nice,
Love in Spring is simply great—
But take my tip, don't concentrate.

Officers Don't
Make Army, Nor
Do Ministers
With the end of this quarter,
the usual groups of ministers from
the seminary and Christian work-ers
and pre - seminary students
from the college will be graduated.
They are the "full-time servants"
and what are generally regarded
as Bethel's characteristic and best
products.
If only for their training, Beth-el's
existance is justified. Yet, it
is legitimate to question whether
they are the most important pro-ducts
of Bethel.
In the King's Army, as in any
other, the Infantry is still queen
of battle and the private soldier
ultimately counts. As does an
army, Christianity needs officers
but must depend upon the lay
Christian to do the basic job. It
is by the training given lay Chris-tians
that Bethel will most im-press
and influence the world.
The term, "full-time servants,"
is to be deplored. It implies by
negation that those who are not
ministers are not doing, or sup-posed
to do, as big a job for God.
The fact is that all service should
be full - time, difference between
ministers and laymen being only * * *

Chapel Quotes n the (Carpet
By President Wingblade
The great statistician of Boston,
Roger Babson, used to say that
there are two schools of thought
as to how civilization started.
Some say that it started with
the taming of the horse; others
that it started with the invention
of the wheel.
Rodger Babson holds that both
are wrong. Civilization started
when man found that he could
trust his fellow man, when confi-dence
and faith was born.
They tell us that the custom of
shaking hands when men met grew
out of holding forth to each other
an open, empty hand, a hand with-out
any weapon—a friendly hand.
How much do we trust our fel-low
man today—when we ride in
his automobile, or when we go to
sleep on a pullman, or when we
enter an airplane? In fact 90% of
all business today is done on cred-it.
CONSTITUTION
(Continued from page 1)
council are also to be elected be-fore
May 15.
A number of amendments were
necessitated by the fact that many
provisions of the old constitution
were out-dated and were not being
followed. Article I, Section VII of
the by-laws was deleted, because
the standing committees mention-ed
therein were no longer func-tioning.
It was left to the discre-tion
of the student council to ap-point
such standing committees as
may become necessary.
We do- not know if we step
aboard a plane if we will see them
again or not, but we can never fly
from the presence of the living
God.
—Dr. Hagstrom.
If we look upon our talents and
abilities as things of which we
can be proud or which we have at-tained
ourselves, we are headed for
ruin, disappointment, and disillu-sionment
in our lives.
—Reuben Holm.
It is through the work and the
power of the Holy Spirit that we
are to become more than conquer-ers
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
—Reuben Holm.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit
is not to have Him poured into us
as an empty vessel—it is rather
how much of us does He have?
—Bob Unmack.
Let no man be in the ministry
unless he can spend at least one
hour in prayer each day.
—Orville Burch.
If we cling close to the Word of
God we will give up sin,: but if
we cling close to sin we will give
up the Word of God.
—Bob Unmack.
How many days have you spent
in prayer and fasting? How many
nights have you wept over some
lost souls?
—Orville Burch.
I can charge every failure or
lack of success in my career to
little or no prayer.
—Orville Burch.
On the other hand it behooves
us to so live and so practice that
we shall deserve to be trusted. We
recall the concluding statement in
the poem on the coming of the
wolf: "The truth itself is not be-lieved
by one who often has de-ceived."
We build our social or spiritual
credit as we build our character
day by day. After the tragic sink-ing
of the palatial ship the Titan-ic,
when the Canpathia was carry-ing
several hundred refugees to
New York, a group of men were
standing in the Waldorf Astoria
hotel wondering whether the dis-tinguished
Englishman W. T. Stead
was on the Carpathia.
One man spoke up and said: "I
know that Mr. Stead is not on the
Carpathia."
"How do you know? Have you
heard ?"
"No, I have not heard, but I
know W. T. Stead, and I know that
he would not step into the life
boats while women and children
and weaker ones were waiting in
line. I know he is not on the Car-pathia."

J. S. Banquet Concordia Drops Braves from Lead Held at Lowry
Choruses, Band Bethel Gives 6 Hits, Takes 7
Plan Concert For Last-inning Win by 8-2 Score
This year's Junior-Senior ban-quet
was held at the Hotel Lowry
on Friday, May 16. The guest list
of nearly four hundred was the
largest of any J.S. banquet in
Bethel's history. Rollin Reasoner
of New Brighton, Minnesota was
master-of-ceremonies and the main
speaker for the occasion was Dr.
Ruth Eckert of the Department of
Education, University of Minne-sota.
Dinner was served at 7:30 o'-
clock and was followed by an in-teresting
program. Professors
Maurice Lawson and C. Emmanuel
Carlson in their capacities as class
advisors, and Bob Nelson and Har-old
Christianson, the two class
presidents, each gave short intro-ductory
remarks prior to the main
speech. The musical program pre-sented
several selections on the
violin by Miss Carol Landberg and
two vocal solos by Miss Marilyn
Wallberg.
Dr. Eckert spoke on the great
challenge to the modern day Chris-tian
student. She empaasized the
opportunities to be had for those
who were ready to stand up for
their convictions. She also praised
highly the caliber of students pro-duced
at colleges such as Bethel.
King and Queen
Crowned Friday
The rough-looking figure, dress-ed
in a dirty pair of overalls held
together by a large rusty nail, who
was wandering around the Boys'
Dormitory on Friday evening,
proved to be Dean C. E. Carlson
on his way to a married couples'
party. The party was the first
get - together of married students
this year and was arranged by Mr.
and Mrs. Westerhoff. The evening
consisted of an enjoyable program
of games, winding up with refresh-ments.
A special feature was the
crowning of the king and queen
of the evening (Ted Avey and
Betty Jo Greenman) with tasty
garlands of onions and radishes!
Have you noticed how fast the
trees have turned green and how
tall the lawn grass has grown?
The season of spring is heavy up-on
us and we are caught in the
clutches of its beckoning hands.
How can I concentrate on writ-ings
about batting averages and
the back-hand tennis style of the
Berg brothers under such condi-tions?
There's a host of material
that could be used if you wanted
to brag up your own school base-ball
team and it wouldn't take any
truth stretching to write about it
either. A score of 17-0 only tells
a small portion of the story about
Northwestern's defeat at the hands
of the Bethel nine. Russ Voight
was in true form as he hit safely
during each trip to bat, collecting
a double and two singles.
A whole column could be written
about our out-door man, "Renfrew"
Kolsrud and his wild game hunt-ting
and expeditions into the in-terior
of North Minnesota. "Coke"
is looking forward to the day when
he can become a seminary student,
and have Mondays free for fish-ing.
He turned down requests of
approximately five beautiful Bethel
girls for a date to the J. S. Ban-quet
that he might get an early
start out into his angling territory
on Saturday morning.
Tennis Players
Beat Concordia
I haven't yet mentioned the
swinging drivers and irons of
Lingensjo in his early morning
hook and slice parties on the Como
golf course. Or about the bull-dog
determination of Bob Daley in his
attempt to whittle down his time
in the half mile to 1:57:1 so that
he can apply for a position on Gil
Dodd's Wheaton cinder team next
spring. Or about the surprise our
number one tennis player got when
he found Jackie Wallace his op-ponent
during a recent tennis meet
Bethel had with the River Falls
State Teachers College. Wallace
played in the national play-off with
the U. S. Champion, Falkenberg
of California.
Concordia, getting hits when
most needed, dropped Bethel from
the undefeated column and from
first place in Southern Minnesota,
Conference baseball. The game
ended in a score of 8-2 and was
played at Concordia on May 14.
'Bethel scored its only two runs
in the eighth inning. Beck, fast-ball
pitcher for the Concordians,
allowed only 6 hits and struck out
13 men.
Sandin started on the hill for
Bethel and pitched 6-2/3 innings.
He give up 6 hits and 8 runs
while striking out 6 opposing bat-ters.
Starr relieved him and
struck out three.
Garvey did all of the receiving.
Greenman played first; Benson,
second; C. Olson, third; and
Simms, short-stop. Eddy, H. John-son,
and Voight were the outfield-ers.
Sandin replaced Voight in the
ninth.

Luther 19-9
At the Como field on May 10,
Bethel won a ninth inning base-ball
victory over Luther, 10-9.
Bethel was behind throughout
the whole game. However, Voight
singled to open the ninth and Gar-vey
flyed, to the pitcher. Simms
got to first on an error and Ben-son
droVe in Forsman, who was
running for Voight. This tied the
score. Eddy flied for the second

run with a single.
Sandin, the winning pitcher, re-lieved
Starr after 3-1/3 innings.
He struck nine while Starr struck
out three. Luther used Jahnke and
K..Kolander. Kolander was charg-ed
with the loss.
Greenman got three hits in four
official times at bat. He walked
once. E. Schulz, from Concordia,
also had three for four.

As a climax to the musical ac-tivities
of the past academic year,
Bethel's three musical organiza-tions
are planning to take over an
extended chapel period some time
at the end of this month. The two
choruses and the concert band will
perform several numbers, both sep-arately
and together. Original
plans to have a full dress evening
concert have been shelved, owing
to lack of time and the lateness
of the season.
This will be the first time at
Bethel that anything like this has
been attempted. The 30-piece band
and the combined choruses will
perform two numbers together,
and the rest of the program will
be rounded out by numbers from
each of the individual organiza-tions.
Bert Anderson, who has di-rected
the band for the past two
quarters, will be in charge of the
program itself. The program will
be sponsored by the music depart-ment.

The NAS fund for a new fieldhouse is constantly building up. A
check last Wednesday showed that there are $22',216 pledged and there
are probably about $25,000 now. Over $16,000 of this was pledged before
the recent drive, $15,000 being pledged by last year's student body.
Only $5,190 have been pledged this year from as many students as
the entire student body last year. Only about 100-150 pledged have come

Highlights
For several weeks Mr. a n d
Mrs. Zabel were curious of the
popping noise that persisted from
the basement below them. One
evening around midnight they fi-nally
decided that they had waited
long enough. On the way to the
basement they picked up two more
curious spectators, namely Mr.
Nee and Mr. R. Sandberg. The gas
water heater was the cause of the
noise and was quieted down with
the assistance of Mr. Meyers.
Now he's got one, Now he has-n't.
Rosenquist very innocently
bought a-car several weeks ago ex-pecting
to keep it for awhile, but
last week the cops changed all
that. They confiscated his car be-cause
it was previously stolen
from Chicago. No, Rosenquist did-n't
steal it. Someone else did . . .
The landscaping of the apart-ment's
surroundings has started

will include the planting of

"In spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to love," may, be true,
but in spring women's fancy turns
to house cleaning. That is proba-bly
the reason for the disrupted
living in the girls' dorm now. The
rooms—in the old wing are being
redecorated one by one. Instead of
the usual white the girls may have
their choice of white, peach, pink,
or light blue.
This redecorating of course tak-es
in the process of moving all of
the furniture out of the room into
whatever space there is available
in the hall. The latest residents
of the hall were Laurel Borgeson
and Eunice Peterson, who have
made themselves quite cosy in one
end of the hall near the phone.
There they have their bed made
up on the floor and one desk is
conveniently located so as to en-able
the phone to sit on it. Near

The girls who plan on coming
back next year are hoping to find
out what room they are going to
live in so they may influence the
decision present occupants as to
what color they would Hite.
The peace and quiet of the halls
is gone for the rest year, or at
least as long as there are occu-pants
in the halls to enliven them.

Sem Seniors
Hold" Sneak//
On Tuesday, May 20, the senior
class in the Seminary threw their
traditional conservatism to the
winds and cut all classes to enjoy
a healthful day of fun and fellow-ship
in the great out-of-doors. Leav-ing
from the married couples'
dorm at 9:30 a.m. they journeyed
to Taylor's Falls for the scene of
their "Sneak day" and returned
home in the early evening.

Banquet Theme
Is "Spiritual
Preparednessn
Probably the largest group in
the Seminary's history gathered
for the Annual Banquet on Thurs-day,
May 15 in the Curtis Hotel
to enjoy a program headlined by
Rev. Bruce Fleming of Stanchfield.
The theme was "Spiritual Prepar-edness"
and the part the Semi-nary
plays in preparing ministers
of God was highly evaluated and
gratefully acknowledged. T w o
most important items slipped the
minds of everyone on the program
and so missed the public atten-tion
that was due them. They
were namely, the engagements of
Johnson-Drotz and Johnson-Iosty
that were announced that evening.
Gifts received at the Seminary
Banquet: by Bob Unmack and
Joyce Johnson—ping pong paddles
with balls attached. By Bob Dis-chinger—
a scissors to cut his ora-tions
short (he yielded it to Dr.
Karlson as to a better man). By
Shorty and Connie Bjelland — a
modern bath tub for the mission
field. By Ellwood Anderson — a
new "buzzing" member for the "B"
club. By Howie Olson and Clar-ence
Sahlin—a setting of "silver"
for their new homes.
In spite of much urging by
friends, Vernie Stoneberg refused
to have a certain little lady fly in
for the Seminary Banquet. He
said it would cost too much money
and then admitted she was not
rich. That left no possible excuse
for his interest in her as evidenc-ed
in their regular correspondence,
except real love. It has taken a
long time to work this admission
out of "Stony," but we have it
now.
