Bethel Quartet
is Officially
Appointed
President Wingblade announced
that effective today Bethel has
reappointed the quartet consistii,
of Robert Sandin, Paul Leafblad,
Don Patet and James Rentz to re-present
the school in an official
capacity.
This quartet visited sixty-five
churches during the summer in
seven states, covering nearly 7,000
miles. They brought the message
of the Gospel in song and story,
and also represented the school.
Robert Sandin was the preacher
of the group, and brought appropri-ate
messages during these concerts.
Jim Rentz was the manager; Paul
Leafblad, driver; and Don Patet,
pianist.
Recalling the summer tour, Bob
Sandin said : "In evaluating the
work of this summer, we say with
one voice that it was worth every
whit of labor it required. We know
of but one individual who accepted
the salvation of God in our meet-ings,
and we feel that we have
failed in carrying out that part of
our work. There were probably
results that we cannot see, but
whether there were or not, the
knowledge that we helped that one
to find the Christ has made the
whole summer worthwhile."
White Lectures
On Atom Energy
The first in a series of school
year convocations was presented
Tuesday evening, September 23, by
Mr. Harry C. White, now connected
with the General Electric Co. Mr.
White had formerly been with
Steinmetz and Edison for fourteen
years; then during the war he was
employed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Mr. White's material included
radium and radio-active minerals;
thus he proceeded to show how
these minerals contain atomic ener-gy.
Radar and electrons were seen,
and a recording of electrons sent
to the moon was heard and seen.
Fluorscent and phosphorescent
cloths were shown in the black
light. Mr. White ended his unusual
lecture by showing a beautiful
flag made of fluorescent cloth,
glowing through the power of
radio-active minerals.
Homecoming to
Be October 24-26
Bethel alumni and students are
anticipating the enjoyable and
spiritually invigorating advent
of Homecoming, October 24th —
26th. Under the leadership
of Byron Skalman, plans are
being made for a varied weekend.
These plans include a football
game with Austin Junior College
on the afternoon of October 24,
and possibly a buffet style banquet
in the evening. Edwards Memorial
Field will be a popular place Sat-urday
afternoon, while open house
will be featured on the campus
Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
Rockstad to Be
Guest Speaker
Rev. Ernest Rockstad, speaker
for Deeper Life Week beginning
next Monday, is a Bachelor of
Divinity from Bethel Seminary.
Brought up a Lutheran, he attend-ed
college first at St. Olaf where
he obtained his Bachelor of Arts
degree.
In preparing for the Lutheran
ministry, Mr. Rockstad studied at
Luther Theological Seminary in St.
Paul. It was during his course of
study that he felt called out of the
Seminary by God to carry on
evangelistic work, and was convin-ced
of the Baptist interpretations
of the Scriptures.
Rev. Rockstad has served pastor-ates
in Brainerd, • Isle, and St.
Louis Park (Minneapolis).
Especially concerned over the
dead state of Christians and con-vinced
that there must come a real
revival to our churches, Mr. Rock-stad
is now engaged in full-time
evangelistic work. He preaches
the all-sufficiency of Jesus Christ
for every need, and rejoices in the
fact that "our God is marching on."
Rev. Rockstad is married and
has a three year old son. For the
most part, Mrs. Rockstad and the
son, Philip, travel with him. Mrs.
Rockstad aids here husband in
meetings by acting as pianist and
singing solos.
Rev. Ernest Rockstad
Students Attend
Iowa Fall Rally
Thirteen Iowa students rented
Bethel's newly acquired elongated
bus this past week-end for a trip
to Davenport, Iowa to attend .their
State B. Y. P. U. Fall Rally. Among
the group were Bob Nelson and
Leland Miller, president and vice-president
respectively, of the Iowa
Baptist Young People. Miss Berg-quist
accompanied this delegation
as ehaperone.
Meetings Set
Twice Daily
Beginning at chapel hour next
Monday morning and continuing
through the Friday evening vesper
service, Deeper Life Week will 'be
observed by Bethel students, May-nard
Johnson, President of the
Religious Council, announced this
week. He declared, "Final arrange-ments
have been completed for
these special meetings, and we are
happy to report that Rev. Ernest
B. Rockstad will bt the special
speaker."
Deeper Life Week will consist
of two services a day for students.
The first meeting of the day will
be held in the morning during the
regular chapel hour. A second daily
meeting will begin promptly at
6:30 p.m.
Special music and singing will
be featured at each service. Carl
Olson will be the song leader for
morning services. Roy Nelson will
direct singing during evening ves-pers.
Theme for Deeper Life Week
is "Our God is Marching On".
Emphasis will be given to the
fact that revival is a necessity in
these days of confusion, and that
revival is a reality today because
of God's power.
The Religious Council planned
for Deeper Life Week, October 6
through 10, in cooperation with
the Elim Baptist Church of Minn-eapolis.
Rev. Rockstad will conduct
a series in Elim Church during
the evenings next week.
Bethel Family,
To Be X-rayed
To quote Hamlet (not Bob!)
"TB or not TB? That is the ques-tion."
Can something be done
about it? Of course it can, and
Bethel will be the first school in
the city to take part in a drive- - -
the goal of which is to X-ray every
person in the city of St. Paul who
is over fifteen years old.
The Federal Unit will be at
Bethel about the middle of October
to X-ray all the Bethel family- - - -
faculty, students, and personnel.
It will cost nothing and each per-son
will receive a confidential re-port
of the findings.

dates- - - -watch the Clarion!

The source of spiritual strength is the Lo/4
Himself, and the secret of -being strong is
trustful waiting upon Him. "Wait on the Lord,
be of good courage, and He shall strengthen
thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord."
(Ps. 27:14).
Wait on the Lord- - -because you NEED Him.
Each one, students and faculty alike, must
confess insufficiency and failure. Sometimes
the need is not keenly felt, but its presence
becomes apparent sooner or later. Anxiety,
depression, pride, covetousness, back-biting,
and moral defeat, these and many more are
indications of spiritual need. Let no one say,"I
have need of nothing".
Wait on the Lord- - -because He is the only
source of grace and power. "God hath spoken
once, twice, have I heard this, that power
belongeth unto God". (Ps. 62:11). Jesus said,
"All power is given unto me in heaven and
in earth". In the hour of testing, yea, in all
of life's hours, only God can be your safe
refuge and unfailing strength.
Wait on the Lord- - -because trustful WAIT-ING
is the only method by which God's grace
is obtained. This means active faith, not
passive quiescence. "They that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength".
"Wait, I say, on the Lord".
Edwin J. Omark
Development of a
Deeper Life
The term, "Deeper Life", has been used with
increasing frequency of late as we as a Christ-ian
school prepare for a week of services with
speCial emphasis on Christian Living. Perhaps
this term means little to some of the newer
students and even to some of the older stu-dents
of our school. The question may well
arise as to just what we expect to accomplish
by this expenditure of money and time on a
student body that is, in the large, Christian.
Some may consider it a time to secure ideas
on sermons, some as an attempt to evangel-ize
the few non-Christians in school while
others may consider it just another week of
preaching which they must endure because
they are Christian.
Of course, none of these answers are the
real motive in continuing the traditional ser-vices.
The reason we must have them yearly
is because vital Christianity cannot be inheri-ted
along with books, classes and buildings.
It has been suggested that "Deeper Life
Week" is a period of self-examination in which
we stop looking around ourselves and peer
into the depths of our hearts. In so doing, we
must, of necessity, find there the things that
are hindering our relationship with the Lord,
and holding back complete and constant sur-render
to the Lord's will.
t ao rc i
There is no doubt that the big news of
the week was the football game between
Rochester and Bethel. Our team showed up
splendidly and accounted for itself in true
Bethel fashion. One sidelight on the game,
which few people know about, was the fine
spirit that prevailed throughout. As a matter
of fact the Rochester dean telephoned Dean
Carlson and expressed his pleasure over such
a spirit. This sort of thing is indeed unusual
in inter-collegiate relations— a real testimony
for our Indians!!
There's something about a second cup of
coffee that makes you want to relax and think
back- - -well you know how far. Things are
really different around here. There was a time
when the boarding club gang thought they
were busy if they served 300 meals per day.
Now every day almost 1,000 meals are served.
Then there was a time when the dishes were
washed by hand. Can you imagine what it
would be like washing 1,000 dishes that way?
That's about our daily number now. Then re-
- member the time when 15 gallons of milk per
day was plenty? It now takes 80 gallons. Re-member
when the milk bill was large if it
got to be $100.00 per month? Now it's almost
$1500.00 Meat- - - -its almost out of the ques-tion.
The meat bill for the month of September
will be over $2,000.00. Yes, things have really
changed around here!
It's almost time to go now, but there's one
more thing I'd like to mention. Most of us
have the opinion that if we pay our tuition
and board bill we are paying our way through
Bethel. This is by no means true. I've spent
some time collecting a few statistice that I
feel should be made known lest at times we
should get careless. In the year 1939-40, for
every $100.00 paid by the student $140.00 had
to be paid by the conference. In 1946-47 for
each $150.00 paid by the student, $162.00 had
to be paid by the conference. These figures
are for the college. The seminary is quite
another picture. In the year 1939-40, for each
seminary student, the conference had to raise
$400.00. In 1946-47 for each student it was
necessary to raise $639.00.
I feel that such figures need no further
explanation. I might add, however, that none
of these figures include the cost of main-tenance
of the buildings or any of their equip-ment.
So let's stay on the ball, gang, becau-se
somebody's sacrificing so that we can be here.

The trend of the times seems to -be that
young men's fancies are beginning to turn
quite a bit earlier than usual this year. "Eager
beavers" are already loitering around in the
Bodien Hall entrance, the only free telephone
between the hours of 7 and 11 p.m. is in
the Dean's office, and Cupid has already de-livered
one "sparkler" on campus. So you see
the social life at Bethel is runing true to
form, if not more so than in previous years.
By the way, "congratulations" are in order for
Ouida and Morrie who announced their engage.

em5 of Tliougbt
by President Wingblade
I suppose that there are very few of us here
at Bethel who are not here- - - -because some-body
backed our lives up with love and de-otion
and prayerful sacrifice. If that is aue,
we must not forget it.
We must remember it by showing appreci-ation
in words, but especially in living. We
must not disappoint those who have invested
so much in us.
We should be at our best for many reasons.
One is- - - -for their sakes.
They are hoping that we shall do well in our
studies, of course. Also they covet for us good
health, which can only obtain as we keep good
habits and are careful of our bodies. But most
of all they want, no doubt, that we shall live
high and noble Christian lives.
They desire that we shall surpass them, be
a greater success than they have been. That
would be their joy. When a certain father
was reminded of the fact that his son was
doing better than he, the father replied, "He
ought to do better; he is standing on my
shoulders."
And then we should keep in constant touch
with them and tell them something of our
problems and of our progress. They long to
share with us.
In the Y. M. C. A. reading rooms of large
cities we often see framed on the wall the
words, "Did you write home today?" That is
a pertinent question. The least we can do is
to send Mother and Dad a line, If not every
day- - -then often. We cannot now fully realize
how much that means to them, although it
costs us so little of time and effort. -
When the time comes that we shall look
back across the vista of years, it may be
that the letter we did not write will be the one
which will bring the most poignant pain to
the mind and heart. It is within our power
now to make such a regret altogether un-necessary.
May we profit by the retrospect of Elsie
Duncan Sanders as set forth in the following
lines:
I found a little record of her days
At the old home. A few short lines
Each day were all she wrote. My mother's
ways
Were simple. When she planted columbines
She put it down; the day she set a hen;
The little calf she weaned from mother-cow;
Her daily household tasks, or when
She visited the sick But o, somehow
One line apart from others seems to stand- - - -
"I went to the post office" she would say....
That one short line she wrote from day to
day.
Dear God, on high, can mother see tonight
These tears for letters that I failed to write?
concentrate better with my little finger curled
around the ear of a coffee cup. Who knows?...
IT'S A FACT DEPT.:..."Pill" Wright even
hesitates to say "grace" before a meal. It
seems that word has an entangling connota-tion
in his experience....Jim Rentz has be-come
quite adept at playing "Taps" in the
middle of the campus approximately at mid-night.
However, I think his uniform is a bit
too light for these cool evenings we have been
enjoying. I'm sure Jim would appreciate any
contributions so that he could buy the top to
those pajamas.... This year's crop of freshmen
girls are well-versed in all the latest in quips
and wisecracks. Keep that optimistic outlook,
girls....exams are on the way.

Prof. Samuel Schultz
Mr. Samuel Schultz is another
addition to our college and sem-inary
faculty. He comes to us from
Harvard University where he has
just completed a course through
which he has earned a S. T. D.
degree.
Starting in Bethel Institute he
earned his A. A. in 1938. From
here he went to University Park,
Iowa to attend Kletzing Univer-sity.
Professor Schultz majored in
history and graduated with the
1940 class with a B. A. The B. D.
that decorates the wall above his
desk came from Faith Theological
Seminary in Wilmington, Delaware.
In 1945 he enrolled at Harvard and
obtained his S. T. D. after many
years of hard work.
During his studies at Harvard
he was also pastor of the Confer-ence
Church at Belmont, Mass.
Part of his past experiences also
includes teaching Bible at Gordon
College in Boston.
Mr. Schultz is married and has
a seven month's old baby girl. They
reside in one of the apartments in
the married couple's dorm.
We feel sure that he will leave
a lasting impression on all those
whom he comes in contact with,
by his radiant testimony for the
Lord Jesus Christ. We feel certain
that he will leave with us much
knowledge of our Lord, and what
He has done for us.
Married Couples
Plan Co-op
You know, those married couples
are a pretty lucky bunch of people.
How many people do you know
who can sit home and watch a
football game from their living
room window? Well, by all appear-ances
at a recent game, the couples
with the most advantageous views
at Edwards field were really taking
advantage of the situation.
The other day the couples from
the Hagstrom Residence and the
trailer encampment met and de-cided
to organize. So a committee
for setting up a constitution and
a nomination committee were selec-ted.
Another committee is investi-gating
the possibilities of quanity
purchase of foods for the couples.
Students Follow
Team Friday
Come on gang! Let's follow the
team Friday night! Plans
been completed that make iitt pos-sible
for Bethel fans to go to Roch-ester
for the Indians' game with
the Yellow Jackets that will be
played under the lights. A charter-ed
bus will leave from in front of
the girls' dorm at approximately
5:45 P.M. The evening meal will
be served earlier for the benefit
of those going on the trip. The bus
ticket will cost $1.75, and the
game admission will be your stu-dent
activities card plus thirty
cents. Special late leaves will be
given to all (even freshmen) for
this occasion.
On the Sidelines
For several weeks now we have
seen our gridders practicing on the
campus. Some of the girls may
have been impressed with that
"husky" appearance the boys have
displayed. Just don't let 'em kid
you gals. With the exception of
that roll around Manske's waist
(that's genuine), it's all padding.
Incidentally, it seems a shame that
the boys have to roll on the ground
and get those nice new uniforms
dirty. Especially so, when you get
a peek at the price tags on that
gear. Did you know that those soft
helmets they wear to protect their
heads (it's a fact) actually cost
$14.00 or more. Some bonnet! Add-ing
up the cost of shoulder pads,
hip pads, helmets, jerseys, pants,
shoes, etc., I found that it costs
$60.00 or more to "suit-up each man
on the squad. Then there are the
footballs, first aid equipment, and
dummies (the canvas ones) in add-ition.
Taking all this into consider-ation,
we can really appreciate the
advance our school is making in
the athletic department.
Not to be overlooked among the
many improvements on our campus
this year is EDWARDS FIELD. A
vote of thanks is in order for the
fellows who converted the "no-man's
land" between the school
buildings and the dorms into a
gridiron. Bob Sandin, Ken Green-man,
and John Dischinger, working
under the able direction of Paul
Edwards (and family), did a swell
job in marking out the field. The
Phy-Ed classes had a share in fill-ing
in the ditches and digging out
the boulders. Even Eric's daughter
helped out by riding that bucking
lawn-mower through the weeds on
the north end of the field. It was
a tough job done well, and though
EDWARDS FIELD may not be the
best gridiron in the land, it points
the way to that future day when
Bethel will have a fine stadium.
Good work, Paul!
It seems that in the rush for
stories on coaches, football players,
practice sessions, etc., that a
couple of fine "gents" were over-spoitts
Sheicit:
.2eRait Saaci4eil
This week's sports personality
is LeRoy Sandberg who is really
well-known to second year stu-dents.
For the benefit of the fresh-men
(and girls) "Sandy is one of
the fair haired lads of St. Paul. He
is nineteen years old, weighs 160
pounds, and is six feet one. "Sandy
attended Johnson High School
where he played basketball for
several years. Last year he was
one of Coach Paul Edward's key
men on the basketball court, and
this year he will be out there
again working for that forward
position that he played so well.
Although "Sandy" didn't play any
football in high school, he has
been playing a good game on the
left end of the Indian forward
wall. He has been tackling hard,
and should be pulling in some of
those long passes that count be-fore
the season is over.
This is "Sandy's" second year at
Bethel, and though he hasn't de-cided
on his future plans, we hope
that he will be on our campus for
another couple of years. His home
church is the Payne Ave. Baptist
Church in St. Paul.
School Screams
This week the Clarion proudly
presents another one of those
super yells that Bob Nelson dreams
up. These yells are printed for the
benefit of people with poor memor-ies.
Clip them out, paste them on
a piece of cardboard, and bring

games this school year.

looked. They are Bob Ginther and
Cal Ferniand, co-managers of the
football squad, who have been do-ing
a fine job with the liniment,
tape, and equipment.
The cheers and applause that
Bethel fans gave the team in the
opening game were wonderful. You
fans are as much a part of the
game as the eleven fellows out
there representing you. Keep
cheering! ! It's a real boost!
It might interest some of the
readers up Brainerd-way to know
that "Whitey" Skoog visited our
campus last week. He is an older
brother of Ronnie Skoog who play-ed
on our varsity 'basketball team
last year. "Whitey" is an exception-ally
fine basketball player, but
unfortunately for Bethel, he is en-rolled
at the University of Minn-esota
where he is majoring in
physical education.
High Hopes for
Return Game
Profiting from the experience of
their defeat last Friday at the
hands of Rochester, a squad of
thirty determined gridders buckled
down to two weeks of intensive
drill in preparation for a return
match-with the Yellow Jackets on
October 3.
Coach Arch Skalbeck began last
Monday to concentrate in practice
sessions on perfecting blocking
technique and pass plays. Team
play has improved considerably
from session to session, and while
they have not reached top per-formance
as yet, the footballers
at times show a smoothness
which ought to characterize them
as they continue their drills and
gain more experience.
The entire team has plenty of
pep and hustle, and it is certain
that a better conditioned team than
the one that performed here ten
days ago will take the field in
Rochester on Friday.
BIG NINE NEWS
Here's a column, guys and gals,
which is a little out of the ordinary
for The Clarion, having nothing to
do with Bethel; but we feel it
might prove interesting to you who
come from Big Nine States. In this
issue we'll attempt to give you a
brief outlook over the whole field
and give our selections for this
year's Championship, which will
go to the Rose Bowl, by the way.
Well, here it is!
Michigan seems to get the nod
on the strength of triple-threater
Bob Chappuis and the team's re-cord
of last year plus thirty re-turning
lettermen.
Illinois comes a close second be-cause
of last year's Championship
and Rose Bowl victory plus five
returning regulars.
If they get the breaks, Indiana,
Ohio State, and Iowa could con-ceivably
cop the title as all three
are pretty well balanced in both
line and backfield.
Our beloved Gophers of Minn-esota
seem lacking in backfield
strength although the line looks
quite good. With some good luck
Minnesota might surprise the
experts and win a few more games
than expected.
Bringing up the rear we find
Northwestern, Purdue, and Wis-consin,
who will get tough, though
not of championship calibre.
You readers may not agree with
these selections and only time will
tell whether the teams agree or
not; but nevertheless there they
are! If they're wrong, don't blame
us!

Honeywell Sails
For Manila
The former chaplin, Russell G.
Honeywell, who was graduated
from Bethel Seminary last June,
left St. Paul for Manila via San
Francisco on SepteMber 16. He is
returning to the country where he
served as chaplin in the United
States Army during the war. This
time he is going as a missionary
to establish the Far Eastern Bible
Institute and Seminary, a project
of Christian ex-GI's. The need in
the Philippines was so deeply im-pressed
upon the hearts of these
Christian soldiers that they deter-mined
to set up a Bible Institute
and Seminary where nationals
could be trained who would, in
turn, be missionaries to their own
people.
Mr. Honeywell has been appoint-ed
by the Far Eastern Gospel Cru-sade
as director of FEBIAS and
Chairman of the Field Council. Mr.
Carl Urspringer of Minneapolis;
FEBIAS construction engineer, is
accompanying Mr. Honeywell to
Manila. They drove the red "chari-ot"
(a carry-all), which was dedi-cated
at Bethel last spring, to
the coast. It will be taken along
with them with several tons of
freight, aboard the "Lakeland
Victory" which sails from San
Francisco on October 3.
The Far Eastern Gospel Crusade,
a newly formed missionary agency
which is sending Mr. Honeywell,
has work in Japan as well.' An
orphanage, medical missions, and
a Biblical Seminary are now in
progress there
It may be hard to oelieve that
there are ninety-one students
groping their way each day through
the venerable halls of the well-loved
Seminary building, but if
you would peek in you'd soon see
all the eager students with books
of all sizes and shapes, actually
running in order to get a chair
"inside" the door. Incidentally, the
remaining group sits in the hall.
With crowded class rooms it is
a bit hard to keep our eye on
everyone and our ears perked up
to all that is said, but, we are
enjoying it and even taking it con-scientiously.
If you don't belies, r
that, just take a look into the

Our new school nurse this year

now enrolled at Mounds-Mid-way.
The dispensary is now tempo-rarily
located in the back hall on
the third floor of the girls' dormi-tory.
The boys may reach it by us-ing
the back stairs of the new
wing. Miss Turnwall's hours are
first hour on Tuesday, Thursday,
and Saturday; and tenth hour
every day except Saturday and
Sunday. She is on call at all hours
for emergencies and anything of
a serious nature is referred to Dr.
Burton.
Colds and football injuries have
been the chief concern of Miss
Turnwall thus far.

benefit and Miss Axeen and the
student assistants are glad to help
you in every way possible. In re-turn,
it is requested that you be
mindful of others, while in the
library. Your courtesy and co-operation
will be appreciated. Most
students have shown co-operation,
but let's try to make it 100%.
assiduously studying for the next
day.
Seminary is a new experience
to many of us and each day we
are challenged anew with the re-sponsibility
that lies before us as
Christians and servants of Christ.
We are indeed thankful for our
Seminary and for the consecrated
professors who endeavor to teach
us the deeper things of the Christ-ian
life and to give us a knowledge
of Christian work as it is today.
We must hasten on, but we know
there are many good times ahead
of us. As time flies and other inter-esting
things occur, we'll keep you
posted.

"Ma" Olson Is
Recuperating
Mrs. Raier Olson, better known
as "Ma" Olson to her many friends
on the Bethel Campus, will be con-fined-
to her hospital bed for a
number of weeks yet, the doctors
have stated.
This summer Mrs. Olson suffered
a 'broken arm and hip when she
fell down the basement stairs at
her home. She has been in the
Hallock Memorial Hospital in Hall-ock,
Minnesota, since that time
and had hoped to return home Sun-day,
September 21st, but due to
complications it has become nece-ssary
to reset the bone in her hip.
"Ma" Olson has served as Beth-el's
cook. She has been a blessing
to all with whom she has come
in contact. Words of cheer to her
at this time from the students
would be gratefully appreciated.
