Homecoming Tommorrow Emphasizes Greater Goals

Scheduling Year's
Oral Activities
Theme Chosen by Committee
To Symbolize Year's Progress
Greater Goals! The Homecoming committee in selecting a theme for
this year strove for one that would symbolize the progress made by
Bethel socially, scholastically, and spiritually, as well as be a challenge.
A special Homecoming packet has been assembled by the Commit-tee
consisting of a ticket to the football game, a souvenir program, an
indentification badge, a pompom, and a copy of The CLARION.
This packet will be the only thing for sale to the Alumni in order to
make the day economical as well
as enjoyable. The price for the
packet is one dollar twenty cents.
The whole program has been
developed with special emphasis
upon the returning alumni in order
to make this event pleasant and
memorable.
At the Class Reunion Dinner
the different Graduating Classes
will be seated together at the
table designated by a pennant.
Committee chairmen for the
Homecoming event are: John Dis-chinger,
general chairman; Jim
Rehnberg, Welcoming; Marge Hel-gren,
Decorations; Karl Lachler,
publicity; Harold Christenson,
Social. Wally Peterson is making
arrangements for a public address
system to be installed at points of
activity throughout the day.

Election Returns
We are told that when Mr. Tru-man
became president someone
asked his mother if she was not
thrilled to know that her son was
to rise to that high position.
She replied, "Oh, I suppose so,
but I was more thrilled when
Harry as a boy went forward in
the old church to take Christ as
his Savior."
As we accept the election of
President Truman as the will of
America's majority, we realize that
back in his life there is a rich
spiritual heritage from which he
may have wandered away at times.
But it is our privilege and indeed
our duty to pray for our president
that Christ might have right-of-way
in his life and that the next four
year of leadership might be years
of light and progress for our
nation.
We have prayed for God's guid-ance
in this election. Let us also
believe that God has had something
to do with it.

The debate squad has begun
work in preparation for this year's
debate • schedule.
The schedule is at the present
time in the process of being
formed and will probably in-clude
tournaments at Iowa State
Teachers College, Concordia Col-lege
at Moorhead, Eau Claire
State Teachers College, the Den-ver
National Tournament, St.
Thomas College, and the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, as well as
several Freshman tournaments
and some debates with Twin City
Colleges.
The squad will soon be divided
into teams by tryouts for the pro-gram
of wide participation being
planned by Mr. Berntsen, the
coach.
Students, whether experienced
or inexperienced, who are interest-ed,
and expecially women, may
contact Mr. Berntsen in regard to
openings remaining in the Squad.
November 12 will be Missionary
day. The missionary Band has an-nounced
that the theme for this
day will be "China". November 12
will also be "dollar day" for mis-sions;
the offering will be taken
during chapel. Following the eve-ning
service there will be a sing-spiration
and fellowship in the col-lege
dining hall.
The Missionary Band will have
charge of the chapel and evening
services the second Friday of
each month.
In the middle of January the
Missionary Band will sponsor Mis-sionary
Emphasis Week. The en-tire
chapel services and evening
services of this week will be de-voted
to foreign missions. Two
foreign missions secretaries of the
Conference will be the principle
speakers. Missionary appointees
will also speak and the students
will be able to have conferences
with these missionaries during the
entire week.
Play Presented
At BWA Meeting
The BWA last week presented
a very impressive program entitl-ed,
"The Story the Old Bible Told."

program, and was the reader for
the story. The parts were played
by Virginia Hanson, Betty Lind-berg,
Janet Widen, and little Suzie

Jim and Myrtle Rehnberg, a sister and brother combination, have
been elected to represent the student body during the annual Home-coming
festivities which will be heid tomorrow. The Rehnbergs are the
first brother and sister combination to be elected to this capacity; their
home is in Bridgeport, Conneticut.
Jim is 5 feet 9 1/2 inches tall, has blonde curly hair and blue eyes.
He is a gifted musician and you've probably heard him play the piano
here at school.
' Myrtle is a blond, also, and has a friendly smile. She is about 5
feet 7 inches tall and has blue eyes.
"Myrt" is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute and is now in her
second year at Bethel. Besides her school work, she is kept busy by her
many jobs, such as, chairman of the school's Devotional Committee, vice
president of her class, and church missionary at the Minnehaha Baptist
church in Minneapolis. Myrtle is preparing for foreign missionary work.
Jim is in his first year at the Seminary now and is preparing for
the ministry. This summer he studied at the University of Paris
(Sorbonne). Before starting Bethel three years ago, Jim worked for
the State - Department in the Counter Intelligence Corps. He served in
this capacity, as a plain clothes man for the government, for three years.
Some of the past life of Jim includes being president of the Male Chorus,
president of the French club, and business manger of the Spire; also, he
played on the tennis team.
Besides all these things, Jim is now the captain of a Gospel Team
and business managed of the Clarion.
Jim is a loyal member of the Lords and Myrtle is equally as loyal
to the Lassies!

Cordial Welcome Extended To
All Home-coming Bethelites
A cordial welcome to all home-corning Bethelites of former years.
May you receive the blessings you seek as you return to BETHEL. The
present student body has successfully endeavored to make this the best
Home-coming ever, and sincerely hope you will return to your fields of
labor with renewed determination in your hearts to live out the chal-lenges
presented here.
It has been said that in former years the alumni returned to
Bethel to find booths selling wares of every nature to the Home-corner.
This year Home-coming has been designed with a special
effort to plan everything from the alumni's point of view—not from
students' point of view.
The Student council is primarily responsible for this improved
manner of welcoming Grads, and is to be commended for its action along
this line. The Council funds will take care of the expenses which will
not be completely covered by the selling of the Home-coming packets.
As you are sent forth again with revived Bethel spirit may it
be constantly rekindled, and result in the sending of more Christian
young people to study In these halls dedicated to the Lord Jesus
Christ.

There are three aspects of this necessity with which we should
be impressed. The first is the necessity of God's inevitable will. In
Barthian language it is the beginning and end, the origin and limit
of our lives and thoughts. We may live in conformity with this will.
We may struggle in conflict with it. We cannot, however, live in in-dependence
of it, for it is the presupposition of our lives.
Slacie aelailoadiap.
The second aspect is the necessity of the follower's slave relation-ship

create the new, man can no longer make his plans, organize his values,

Morrie's Glories
by Morrie Engstrom
Homecoming! Looked the word up in my Winston Dictionary and it
wasn't there. Wait a minute! After all I've heard about homecoming
lately, and the word isn't even in the dictionary. Then someone told
me that it is really two words, 'home' and 'coming'! So what does my
dictionary say about these two words? Let's see! 'Home' is found on
Page 462, Column 1, Line 72. It says, "A base to which players must
return to score, or at which they are safe." Then I found 'Coming'
on Page 191, Column 1, Line 17. It says, "fairly on the road to sue=
cess." So now I know what homecoming means. It is a base (Bethel)
to which players (Alumni) must return to score (prestige), or at which
they are safe (graduated) and fairly on the road to success (Pastors,
etc.).
Societies! Lords and Ladies! Lads and Lassies! These two socie-ties
have added some good competitive spirit at Bethel, and at the
same time offer many opportunities for students to enjoy good
Christian Fellowship. My one desire is that they hurry and get some
identification pins so we can tell who is who.
Literary Aid: Each week I wil print some advice on which book I
think should be added to your library. This week: Papa Was a Preacher
by Alyene Porter. It starts but, "Papa was a preacher. Papa is still
a preacher—as true to his convictions as the day he gave his pipe a
final fling into a cornfield and entered the pulpit." And it ends, "Keep-ing
step with modern trends unknowingly, but holding high the same
banner, Papa is a preacher still." You read what's in between.

Government Class Expounds
On Current Election Facts
The following results were obtained in a test given to the American
government class on Wednesday, October 20th. The total number who
took the test was thirty-seven; twenty-five of whom lived in Minnesota.
Of those students from Minnesota seventy-six percent knew that
both Hubert Humphrey and Joseph Ball were running for a seat in the
United States' Senate;, twenty percent knew only that Joseph Ball was
a candidate, and four percent did not know whlo running.
Sixty-three percent of the total number • of students knew that
thirty-two United States Senators would be elected, and eleven percent
knew that one-third of the Senate would be re-elected, but erred in
their estimate of the number.
(Their estimates ranged from
thirty-four to one hundred
sixty-five). Fifty percent of
students could identify four
now candidates for the presidency.
Forty-four percent could identify
three presidential candidates, and
five percent could 'name only Mr.
Truman and Mr. Dewey.
Meditation
Where do you think you will be and what will you be doing at
Homecoming time at Bethel ten years from now?
In answer to this query the "I-don't-knows" were well represented:
BUD EKLOF was one of them, and
quickly turned the question over to
HAROLD LUNDBERG, who though
he didn't know either, said he
would be back here if possible and
cheering wildly at the game.
HAZEL SWARTZ'S immediate re-action
was to raise her eyebrows
and say, "That's a good question."
'M I K E' EASTMAN replied dreami-ly,
"Oh, I'll be settled in a nice
little spot some place; but I'll
come back for Homecoming with
my husband and two (and we
weren't sure whether she said
"sweet" or "Swede") kids.
DELORES OLSON will be bring-ing
her preacher husband with her,
and added that they would be here
for Founders Week, too, since he is
going to be the speaker. At first
IRIS FRANS thought she would
settle down in the hills of Kentuc-ky
with a preacher husband, but
then decided there was more of a
future in a secretarial career.
If BETTY LINDBERG isn't back
she says to look for her in Shang-hai—
teaching Home Economics.
ADELIA ERICKSON tried to con-vince
us that she is going to be
an old maid and live in India.
men
In response to a question
which asked for the name of the
present Secretary of State in the
federal government sixty-five per-cent
could identify Mr. Marshall,
and sixteen percent could name
the probable Secretary of State
who would have been appointed
if Mr. Dewey had been elected.
If any interpretations are to be
drawn from these figures, it must
be added that while the class has
not addressed itself to current
events or such, it has had a stand-ing
assignment to be acquainted
with all major political news.

Last Friday after the RUSH
when the dust began to settle once
more I was walking through the
hall on second floor. A scrap of
paper attracted my eye. I picked
it up (near Room 212) out of
curiosity. Here is, then, the mes-sage
of a contemporary:
"Well, its over! Bethel's first
Rush Day hit the campus today,
but leaves in its wake a lot of
tired students, many studies left
undone, scores of confused Fresh-men,
some ruffled tempers, and
each of the collegiate clubs with
a host of `brand' new members.
"Come to think of it though,
after observing some of the strong-arm
tactics employed, the day
should have been termed Drag Day
or Push Day! Seems that some of
the Freshmen weren't too anxious
to join.
"However, one thing has been
proven! There is a great amount
of actual and potential competitive
spirit on the campus. It is now
IMPORTANT that the leadership
of each society accept and fulfill
its responsibility of directing this
abundant energy into proper con-structive
channels for the de-velopment
and benefit of each
member and for the school In
general."
The scrap of paper contains a
vital message. The clubs are here,
ushered in through fun and frolic-ing.
Now, the real task begins:
Each club must explore its "spoils",
and search out the ideas—debate,
story writing, program directing,
book reporting, discussion, athletic
contests—which are workable with-in
its group. Each club is charged
with the obligation to help every
member better express his abili-ties
and talents.
According to an article pub-lished
in a recent "Christian .Life"
there are over 50,000 students at-tending
classes on more than 70

By President Wingblade
One of the great American
authors describes a scene in a
certain community in which a great
bonfire is raging as the people are
burning every obnoxious and un-desirable
thing.
They throw on the fire tobacco
and liquor and war equipment and
even enter the church and drag out
dead liturgy. In short, everything
that they can conceive to be de-trimental
or in any way negative is
thrown on the fire��and the sparks
rise toward the very stars.
They are going to have an ab-solutely
clean community, and so
start afresh on a new era. Every-body
is happy.
But an old philosopher stands
rather cynical as he chews his
straw. In the midst of the rejoicing
and the triumph he is heard to
mutter—"It will all come back!
It will all come back!"
What do you mean? It is all on
the fire burned or burning. How
can it come back? -
"Oh, it will all come back. As
long as the heart is the same cess-poet
of iniquity—it will all cortie
back," mutters the old fellow.
Indeed—how important it is "to
keep the heart," for out of it are
the issues of life. The Psalmist was
right. The heart must 'be kept clean
as a clean fountain.
But how can we keep our hearts
clean? The answer is that we can-not.
The Psalmist cries, "Cleanse
me with hyssop and I shall be
clean," which is a symbol of Cal-vary
itself.
As a small boy I found it diffi-cult
to wash my hands really clean
though I thought at times I did.
But on more important occasions
my mother would wash them—then
I marvelled on how clean they
actually became. She could work
the miracle.
No, we cannot "cleanse our own
hearts. Only the Christ of Calvary
can. "My son, give me thine heart."
Then the issues will be pure for
the fountain is pure.

faculty and student body who were
so thoughtful during the time
was in the hospital. I thank the
Lord for you all."

belongs to another who sends him
even as He Himself was sent-to do
the Father's will. He is to fulfill
the purpose of God for himself.
This constitues the greatest ex-pression
of freedom: to be what
man was supposed to be. This is
the freedom of Christ.
aliuman _Needs
The third aspect is the neces-sity
of human needs about us.
The fact that a man is in need
constitutes the fact that he is
my brother and I thereby bear
a responsibility to him. If one
chooses to be so bold as to identi-fy
himself with Christ, he must
recognize that Christ has previ-ously
identified Himself with
those who are in need.
Only as we function within this
sphere of necessity are we free.
And only then may we pray "Thy
will be done on earth as it is in
heaven."

the Bounds of Life
In all our talk of Democratic freedom and individualism let us, not
forget that the Christian is one whose life is bound on all sides by a
strict necessity. Only as we operate within this sphere of necessity does
freedom become meaningful for us. Outside of this necessity freedom
dissipates into the chaos and anarchy of undertermined and conflicting
will.

Be sure to attend the Alumni All. Stars vs. Bethel varsity basketball
game tomorrow night. There is more competition in this game than
in any other played throughout the season, and it is by far the most
"interesting" to watch.
Next Friday, Rochester and Worthington will meet to decide
who the football champions of the Southern Minnesota Junior
College Conference will be. Rochester has three victories and no
losses; Worthington has two victories with no losses.
So far this season, no predictions have come from the Sports de-partment
as to the outcome of the Indian football games, however, my
prediction for tomorrow's game is that the Indians will come through
with a victory. By how large a margin? Well, I'll say by at least
one touchdown.
Coach Edwards is planning a
very progressive program for his
gym classes which he will put
into effect as soon as the foot-ball
season closes. According to
Mr. Edwards, this 'weekly pro-gram
wil consist of one class
period spent in lecture and the
other spent in playing the winter
sports.
The lecture will acquaint the
students with all the major and
minor sports, instructons being
given in the correct conducting and
setting up of all types of tourna-ments.
Demonstrations will point
out visually what is taught.
This program is designed to in-crease
and broaden the classes'
knowledge of all sports and game
procedures, helping those going
into religious youth work to be-come
better trained.

"The object of physical education
for girls is to learn good posture,
develop and exercise the muscles,
and learn to play in organized
games," said Mrs. Sjordal, when
asked for a few remarks about her
Physical Education classes. Cali-,
sthenics, marching routines and
relay games are the activities that
make up a regular class session.
There are eight girls' Phy. Ed.
classes this year, and there is an
average of about 32 girls in each
class.
A few of the plans Mrs. Sjordal
has for the winter quarter are a
volley ball tournament and outside
sports, such as ice skating. Next
spring, the girls will play indoor
softball.

outscored them, 45-7.
In the one-sided game, Bethel's
lone score came in the final period.
In this period', Bloom carried a

A pass play good for 10 yards was
then completed from Bloom to Cliff
Anderson. Brunko then charged
for a two yard gain. A Go Ge Bic
penalty brought the Indians 5 yards
clo'ser to the goal line. Bloom then
gained- 1 yard and Skoog added 2
more yards, which put the Bethel
eleven on Go Ge Bic 2 yard line.
Bloom then charged through left
tackle and scored. Bennett Asp-lund's
conversion of the extra point
gave the Indians a total of 7 poiaet.
Go Ge Bic's touchdowns came in
bunches of two. In the first period
a 48 yard completed pass play and
an 11 yard running play gave Go
Ge Bic their first two scores. In
the second quarter, a completed 41
ydrd pass play and a 15 yard run
gave the victors two more scores.
In the third phase, a 15 yard pass
play and a one yard plunge gave

of Worthington's experi-ence,
manpower, and their tricky
"X-Y-Z" formation that gained
them their victory.
Although Bethel failed to
score, there were many high-lights
in the Indian's playing.
Among these were a 39-yard run
by Roy Johnson, the consistent
punting of Danny Bloom, who
averaged 47 yards per punt, and
a 20 yard run by Skoog.
Worthington's three touchdowns
in the first half were made on a
completed 30 yard pass, a 49 yard
run, and a 24 yard run. All three
conversions were made. The score
at half-time? Worthington 21, Beth-el
0.
The kickoff to Bethel at the
opening of the second half was
downed in the Indian end-zone by
a Worthington player, which gave
Worthington their last six points.

Sports Sketch
Nearing the end of football sea-son,
we can't close our series of
Sport Sketches without making
mention of the name, Warren
Fredericks. Some distinguishing
features about Warren are his dark
brown eyes, black wavy hair, and
six feet of height. He is 19 years
old and weight 190 pounds.
Warren, a freshman, is undecid-ed
as yet about what he will major
in while at school. Teaching Physi-cal
Education is among the many
things he has been considering as
his life work.
After his graduation from high
school in '46, Warren served with
the 11th Airborne Division of the
Army in northern Japan for
about a year and a half. While
in the Army, he played some
football and discovered he liked
the sport. At present Warren is
a member of the Indian football
team and is playing at the left
tackle position.
Warren's home is in Chicago. He
made his decision to come to Beth-el
while he was still in the service.
After being out of action in the
first part of football season be-cause
of a sprained ankle, Warren
can be seen a lot in the rest of the
games. Watch for number 23.

Gym Classes
Are Planned
The members of the men's gym
classes have taken advantage of
the mild weather by playing touch
football during their class periods.
Topping off the events of Bethel's eighteenth annual homecoming
will be tomorrow afternoon's football game between the Indians and the
Blue and White gridmen from Emmettsburg Junior College, Emmetts-burg,
Iowa. •
The contest will be the second annual football game played at a
Bethel homecoming. Kick-off time will be at 2 p.m. at Highland Park
Stadium, St. Paul. Tomorrow's game will be the first time that the two
teams have el, er met in sport competition.
The weight of the visitors line
averages 160 pounds per man, and
the backfield averages 156.5 pounds
per man. These averages indicate
that the Indians have the heavier
team both on the line and in the
backfield.
Last year's grid game was lost
by the Indians to Austin by a
score of 7-0. Tomorrow's teams
will be more equally matched,
and considering the offensive at-tacks
displayed by the local
eleven in previous games, it can
well be expected that victory will
come the Indian's way.
The following is Bethel's pro-bable
starting line up.

The production was divided be-tween
the setting in an old Scottish
home and outdoor field scene.
Virginia Hanson read a Scottish
legend and the program was com-pleted
by the eloquent preaching of
Rev. John Knox (Robert Nelson).
Refreshment of butterscotch Sun-daes,
hamburgers, and coffee were
served in the dining hall following
the program.
New Song Books
One hundred new song books
have been ordered to be used in

Bethelites Elect
Dewey In Mock
Political Rally
Clashing ideas expressed in re-sounding
oratory by opposing
Presidential candidates claimed the
attention of over two hundred stud-ents
at a mock political rally Mon-day
evening November 1.
With a background of campaign
pictures and flags decorating the
college chapel, the singing of the
national anthem, and an -air of ex-pectation
on the part of the audi-ence
the four contending points of
view were presented.
"CANDIDATES" SPEAK
In Political Rally
Harold Christenson represented
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey; John
Dischinger represented President
Harry S. Truman; John Balian re-presented
Henry A. Wallace;
Robert Sandin represented Norman
Thomas.
The purpose of the rally was to
bring to the students a realistic
picture of the current political
thinking. This was achieved by the
able presentation by each of the
presidential aspirants.
To assist in maintaining the live-ly
atmosphere of the program Bill
Wright led in the singing of the
national anthem followed by sev-eral
patriotic songs. He was assist-ed
by Al Anthony on the organ.
Before introducing the speakers
the master of ceremonies, Prof.
Walfred Peterson, presented stud-ent
leaders who were seated on the
stage .
During the course of the speak-ing,
the press section added realis-tic
color for the program by main-taining
• periodic spurts of type-writer
chatter.
The program was climaxed by
student election of Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey as president.
Dedication of New
Organ to be Tonite
The dedication program for Beth-el's
new organ will be held tonight
at 8:00 o'clock. The program will
be a musical one including selec-tions
by the Chorus and a vocal
solo by Bob Mantske. Mr. Howard
Smith will be at the organ, and
the variety of numbers he has
chosen are designed to bring out
the different qualities and possible
combinations of stops in the organ.
The works of Brahms, Franck,
Dickinson, and Borawski, among
other, wil be included. Dean Omark
is to offer the prayer of dedication
for the organ.
This is the weekend we've been looking- forward to for a long time.
Those of you who have "come home" to dear old Bethel for a visit are
no more glad to be here than we are to see you here. So, pardon us
if we greet you with a warm smile, a friendly handshake, and maybe
a little hug (if it's a girl), plus perhaps a shriek or two of delight. By
this you wil know how thrilled we are to have you back among us!
Bonds of former fellowship are sweet, but best of all is the "Tie that
binds"—knowing that we are all children of the Heavenly Father. This
makes Bethel Homecoming even better.
"Club loyalty" is growing day by day. It's getting so that a Lady
can't even wear a plaid skit around here without everyone's think-ing
that shes's a traitor to the cause and has joined the Lads and
Lassies. But that's o.k. What we need around here is a little "school
spirit", and if it takes competition
to develop it, why h000ray for corn-petition!
Saw a couple of fellows work-ing
for A's; Danny Bloom buying
Truey Lawson (that's the Englsh
prof's son, you know)* a popsicle
in the coffee shop; and Cal Fern-lund
slaving away in a hot dishpan
after the Swedish Club meeting.
Did you know that there's a
new fad on campus? The girls are
changing the, fellows' names now.
Goldsmith is know os "Silver-
Jones." So, instead of saying "Hi,
Goldie," from now on we'll have
to greet him with "Heigh, ho,
Silver," I suppose.
Last week the Committee for the Organization of a National Youth
Group within the Baptist General Conference of America held its second
meeting of the fall. This Committee will function as a steering group to
guide youth of the General Conference into a national organization.
It is hoped that a national unity may be achieved by June 1949.
Rev. Val Hauck (Seminary 1943), recently appointed Youth Director
for the Conference, was present for this meeting. He aided the Com-mittee
outline its work for the year, which will include publicity
through THE STANDARD and direct correspondence with youth through-out
the Conference.
Members of the Committee are Bethel students who represent some
of the District Conference youth groups: Perry Hedberg, Iowa, chairman;
Ray Larson, Wisconsin; John Leg-gett,
Columbia; Betty Lindberg,
California ; Marge M al m, Platte
Valley; William Lindroth, New
England; William G. Wright, New
York ; Howard Carlson, the Chicago
area.
A definite need for a National
youth group, first outlined in a
resolution by the Iowa District,
was forwarded to the Board of
Bible School and Young People's
Work of the Conference late in
1946. At the invitation of the
Board, youth representatives from
the fifteen districts met at Bethel
during Founder's Week 1947. These
delegates further discussed the
needs and problems relative to
youth work.- within the General
Conference. It was decided that
the very nature of the situation
called for more cooperation be-tween
the youth groups of local
churches and the •districts, and
that some plan for uniting the ef-fort
of Conference youth should be
developed. This, they felt, could
best be met by organization on a
national basis.
The idea of a national organi-zation
was presented at the An-nual
Conference meeting in June
1947. It was favorably received
and referred back to the young
people for further consideration
and outline. Accordingly, dele-gates
from the fifteen districts
again met on the campus during
last Founder's Week. This group
appointed a committee to work
out a tentative organizational
plan and other details.
The committee met on the cam-pus
many times last spring and as
a result produced the suggested or-ganizational
plans. These plans
were approved by district represen-tatives
at a meeting last May. Pro-vision
was made by these repre-sentatives
for the formation of a
steering committee to continue
publicity this fall.
The tentative plans were also
presented to the youth Board and
the General Conference meeting
in Muskegon, Michigan, last
June. They met with approval
and further suggestions at these
levels.
At the Muskegon meeting a
youth director, Rev. Val Hauck,
was appointed.
A steering Committee for the
Organization of a National Youth
Group is meeting regularly on the
campus this fall as provided in
a decision of district youth repre-sentatives
last May. Its main ob-jective
is to publicize and create
enthusiasm for a National Youth
Group within the General Con-ference.
