Bethel Gives
Yule Baskets
Five families in St. Paul were
made a lot happier during the
holidays when baskets of food
were delivered in time for Christ-mas
dinner. The Religious Council
sponsored this project and the
funds were supplied by the Bethel
College faculty members and stud-ents.
Along with the food, the
baskets were packed with tracts
and copies of the "Secret Place."
Young people from Calvary Bap-tist
church wrapped gifts for the
children of these families.
Mrs. Bob Hamlet supervised the
buying of the articles of food, and
Rev. Harold Carlson directed the
delivery of the "Christmas pack-ages."
2sova4.d.
For forty-one years Christmas
Seal money has been used to
keep a campaign going to win
freedom from TB. Today we are
reaping the benefits of this
campaign started in 1907.
This year, as in other years,
we have again had the oppor-tunity
to give of our means to
this cause. It has been reported
that Bethel students responded
with an offering of a total of
$60 in the recent Christmas
Seal Drive.
While the floors of the library
building are being laid by con-struction
workers, Bethel's library
staff anticipates housing 24,000
books there before the school year
ends.
Two listening rooms, for record
playing, and conference rooms will
be 'built above the main floor of
the structure. The main floor will
contain a room for reserve books,
a work room, the library office and
the library proper. The stack room
will be centrally located in the
basement.
Seminary and college staffs will
unite in library supervision, but
Seminary books will be segregated
for convenience. The new library
will make possible attractive book
displays that cannot be ,arranged
for in the present library.
Storage Room
Completion Near
The newly finished vegetable
storage room has gone into use
this week by the cafeteria to store
fresh fruits and vegetables. Mr.
Hugo Bersell supervised the con-struction
of this addition to the
cafeteria.
Others who assisted in the build-ing
of it were Cliff Anderson and
Warren Withrow. Mr. E. G. Nor-strom
did the electrical work
which was connected with the con-struction.
The room, adjacent to
the dishwashing room, is of cement
block and completely ventilated,
has a capacity of 1,848 cubic feet.
"This new storage room will
permit a larger variety of fresh
foods to be served in the cafeteria
and after the cost of the storage
room is made, will also lower the
cost of the food sold in the cafe-teria,"
according to Harold
Christenson, dining hall supervisor,
"by permitting the purchasing of
larger quantities of foods."
Faculty Enjoys
Christmas Party
School staff and faculty mem-bers
with their wives attended a
Smorgasbord Christmas party Wed-nesday,
December --29th at the
Bethel School Dining Hall. The
dining hall was appropiately and
beautifully decorated for this
Christmas event by Mrs. Lundberg.
After the Smorgasbord dinner a
time for fellowship followed in the
lounge while Mr. Bloom and Jean
Lindblom prepared for games in
the dining hall.
A sound mirror recording was
made quite successfully recording
conversations and events unsuspec-ted
by the participants. Following
the game period there was a time
of singing and Christmas recita-tions
given by the children.
The public address system which
was installed Nov. 1 by Wally
Peterson and Len Anderson is now
being used daily for chapel pro-grams.
The new microphone which
was installed during Christmas
vacation has made this possible.
The need for amplification of the
programs in the rear and side
room of the chapel was the cause
of the three speakers being in-stalled,
two in the chapel and one
in room 105.
Ihduhapi Host
To Sophs 21-23
Rev. Leonard Carroll, pastor of
the" Immanuel Baptist Church in
St. Paul, and instructor at Minne-haha
Academy will be the speaker
at the Sophomore Retreat, to be
held next week-end at Camp Ihdu-hapi.
The fee, for this outing is $7.50
for those who are not members of
the boarding club, and $5.25 plus
$2.50 in meal tickest for boarding
club members.
Reservations can be placed with
Hazel Bondeson, Wilbur Madsen,
or Sally Tierney.
Winter sports of all kinds will
fill the daytime program, Inside
sports will constitue the evening
program.
The purpose of the Retreat is to
give the sophomores a time of
physical enjoyment, mental relaxa-tion,
and spiritual edification.
Bergman Returns
To Duties Jan. 26
Prof. Theodore Bergman is sche-duled
to return to his teaching
duties at Bethel Jan. 26. Those
students who intend to take work
from him are requested to make
arrangements in the Dean's office.
He has been on an extended tour
of Europe for the past several
months under the auspices of
Youth For Christ.
Tonight the senior class has the
pleasure of presenting Miss Adora
Norlander, Miss Helen Hoffman
and Mr. Bertil Anderson in a con-cert
of sacred and classical music.
Students, members of the faculty
and staff, and friends of the school
are urged to attend an outstanding
musical presentation at eight
o'clock in the college chapel.
Miss Norlander, talented soprano
soloist, has used her gift of song
to glorify Christ in Youth for
Missionary Meet

Illini Campus
Karl Lachler, Bethel delegate.
reports, "We htd a great time at
the 'Convention for Missionary
Conquest' in Urbana. It was a time
of constant feasting on Spiritual
truths and facts. It was a time of
heart searching and prayer for
many. Yes, it was 'forty days' on
the mountain top in the presence
of the Lord."
The University of Illinois was
host to the convention. The dele-gates
were housed in the dormitor-ies
which were quite comfortable.
Three good "squares" were eaten
daily in the new and stately Union
Building. The delegates fellowship-ped
with students from all over the
world—including Japan, India and
Africa.
The highlight of the Conven-tion
was the consecration ser-vice.
Many students signified in
a sincere and quiet manner that
God had called them into foreign
missionary service.
Throughout the whole Conven-tion
the presence and power of the
Holy Spirit prevailed.
With real Spirit-filled Christians
on the 263 campuses that were re-presented
at the Convention, no-thing
less than a real Holy Ghost
Revival can be expected among the
student population of our land.
Ch rist work and in many of our
churches and other organizations.
It is certain that those who have
heard her will not wish to miss
this opportunity of again hearing
songs of praise from the heart of
one who knows and serves our
Christ.
Miss Hoffman and Mr. Anderson
are both graduates of Bethel junior
college. Dui ing their two years in
the college, students thrilled to
their playing as chapel ' pianists
and as accompanists for the Girls'
and Male choruses respectively.
Miss Hoffman has in previous
years served as pianist for First
Covenant church in Minneapolis.
Before coming to Bethel Mr.
Anderson was organist for the
Roseland Temple Baptist church in
Chicago, where he received much
of his training at the Chicago
Music college. At the present time
he is substituting for Mr. Theodore
Bergman, under whom he studied
piano and organ while at Bethel,
as organist of First Baptist church
in Minneapolis. Both of these
talented artists are now studying
at MacPhail School of Music in
Minneapolis where Mr. Anderson
has instructorship in piano.

idea
A professor is a man whose job
it is to tell students how to solve
the problems of life which he him-self
has tried to avoid by becoming
a professor.
Teacher: "Why should we try to
prevent war?"
Student: "It makes so much his-tory."
Ray: "My dog is quite extraordin-ary."
Earl: "Why, what can he do?"
Ray: "I asked him, "What is two
minus two?' and he said nothing!
ita° r
I like it here at Bethel. That's
why I came back. Of course those
few strenuous vacation days were
different. Yet I'm glad to be on
campus once more relaxing "with
the books."
It puzzles me how we had an
extra day (Monday) stapled on the
holidays for transportation back.
But it turned out in this case we
needed it as we came "slipping in
late."
Transportation Day is an inven-tion
of last spring vacation. The
extra time for travel—on Mondays
—always promises a more comfor-table
day at home on Sunday. I
like it and hope the tradition per-sists.
A
Pathways to School is a small
volume which will include a chap-ter
on New Doors of Bethel. How
coincidental and even sentimental
this tangible greeting to welcome
us in Old Main. Three simple
words bear the challenge: "New
Year," "new doors," "students with
reworked resolutions."
The suggestion came as some of
the tribe wriggled through can-vassed
framework covering the
doorways, emerging in the great
out-of-doors, "Here come the Beth-el
Indians form their tepee."
A A A
Lads join the Lassies in voicing
to Lords and Ladies: "If you do
your part, and I (we-) do mine
(ours) ; we'll get along in '49!"
"We should be a bit more con•
cerned that we in this country
should not totally escape the suf-fering
and hardships of our breth-ren;
we thereby also would lose
the blessing."
"We are called to a challenge
to walk worthy of him who called
us. We are called to be a testi-mony
in a- lost and dying world.
We need to yield ourselves to the
calling of the Holy Spirit. Gal.
5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace, long suffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith.""

Morrie's Glories
by Morrie Engstrom
Elsewhere in The Clarion this week you will read about the trip out
east that brought many Bethel students home for Christmas vacation.
It is an incomplete article, bringing only a part of the eventful excurS-ion.
On the spot reporters have given me the complete story. The
heroine is actually the writer of the above mentioned column.
The name is no longer "Crazie Hazie." The official title is • now,
"Tant Hazie. - The trip east proved profitable to 'Tant Hazie" in that
it brought her initial experience in caring for a little baby. "Kutchie,"
a six weeks old baby traveling on the same bus, was adopted by Hazie
for the trip. Every stop provided an opportunity for "Tant Hazie" to
rush into some restaurant and pleadingly ask, "Will you warm the
babies bottle-" All this work gave
Hazie a good appetite, so every
hour on the hour she responded to
chow call with a hearty meal. The
evperience on the trip was very
valuable education for "Tant," but
bus rumors are that Hazie will be
going to Dartmouth after finishing
Bethel.
Others believe Hazie is aiming
for the position, "Housemother of
Bodien Residence for Women in
1950."
Sports are in full swing. The
basketball schedule for intramurals
is up. Predictions are in order.
Arguments have been heard re-garding
the university teams. Iowa
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and
Minnesota fans are rooting for
their home teams in the Big Nine
race. In the next issue of The Clar-ion
this column will include the
predictions of final standings for
these big conferences, the Big
Nine and The Bethel Interamural Exchanges from the North Park
Race. College News
Bethel's Progress During '48
Presents Challenge for '49
As we have entered the year of 1949 we realize that at the present
time we have reached approximately the half way point in the school
year. During the past four and one half months there has been a lot
of progress made with changes and additions on the campus.
The first Senior class has been organized at Bethel. The Spire has
expanded with new photographic equipment. The CLARION has expand-ed
to a five..column paper. The student council has reorganized and
expanded in its work. Sports have expanded and developed. Coordination
and expansion of intra-mural activities has taken place. The debate
squad has successfully started another year. The, list could be expanded
to a great length.
All of this program has been due to a lot of planning and hard work
by the student body and the student leadership only as there has existed
a sense of responsibility and a spirit of cooperation has Bethel pro-gressed
to any degree.
But we carrnot be content with past progress and even with develop-ments
which have been started. There is ahead of us a long difficult
road. There are many changes that need to be made. There are many
additions to be undertaken. There is much that needs to be accomplished
and should be accomplished during the remainder of this year. ..,..
If we are to progress as we have this far and as we should during
the immediate future, there is a necessity for a greater realization of
responsibility and spirit of cooperation than has existed in the past, as
great as even that has been. In other words we all have a part and—if
you do your part and I do mine—then there will be progress during the
coming months.
The CLARION takes this opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to all
who have cooperated and helped so generously these past months and
at the same time urges everyone to "Do your part" In '49.
Intellects Reflect
Before reading this column another week, you should understand
just what the headline means. Webster says intellect is "superior in-telligence"
or in our use of the word, a person with superior intell-igence;
reflect means to "consider in the mind." When that mind has
superior intelligence, the reflections are bound to be good!
Therefore, this all leads to the statement, one should be flattered
upon being approached by a reporter and asked to speak you view on
a certain subject.
- The question this week was the
ever popular one, What's your pet
peeve? Most of the "intellects"
preferred to remain anonymous,
but some of the more brave ones
allowed us to print their names.
,DEAN SHAFFER detests the
greeting of "What do you say" in-stead
of "Hi", that most people
use. JANE JOHNSON is a little
peeved at the fact it's so easy to
"stay true" while here at school.
Getting up for breakfast is
BETTY ANDERSON'S pet peeve
and IRENE BERGLUND is un-happy
because she has too much
time to study.
MILFORD CA R LSON said,
"Chuck Germany! ! !"
E VI E CHRISTENSON's pet
peeve is people who insist on her
making announcements on the loud-speaker
in the dining hall. OLIVER
OSBERG said that his pet peeve
is gum on the trays in the dining
hall.
PRESIDENT WINGBLADE said
his pet peeve is the unfinished
library. GENE JOHNSON said,
"The telephone." ROY DALTON's
pet peeve is people who pop gum.
Just one more, JIM R. MASON
said, "When I bump my head, I
get real mad."
A doctor was once asked by
a patient, "Doctor, how long
shall I have to lie here?"
"Only one day at a time," was
his answer.
This taught the patient a
valuable lesson. It.was the same
lesson God had recorded for His
people for all ages.

Meditation
Living Letters
Everyone longs to receive letters for they convey messages from
friends or relatives. Often a letter brings joy and comfort and on oc-casion
may bring sorrowful news.
But letters on paper are not the only kind written or read by men.
Our lives, declares the Apostle Paul, are "epistles, known and read of
all men." We are writing letters for all to read by the kind of lives
we live day by day.
Different letters were written by New Testament characters. The
Rich Fool and Herod wrote selfish and cruel letters with their lives
while others wrote kind and loving letters filled with counsel and
assurance. Timothy and Onesiphorus were such. Another began to write
a good letter but because he was popular his message changed. And
Paul observing what he was writ-ing
with his life remarked, "Demas
hath forsaken me having loved this
present world . . .
God wants us to bring a message
of love and peace and life to men
who are with out God, dead in
treaspasses and sin. We can be
epistles of love if the love of God
has been shed abroad in our hearts
by the Holy Spirit. Peace with God
also comes to the Justified. 'There-fore
being justified by faith we
have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ."
Does the life you live declare to
others that the only thing worth-while
in life is the possession of
Jesus Christ? Or does your life
say that worldly attainment, plea-sures
and self are of paramount
importance?
What kind of a letter are you
writing?
L. E. Peterson Paul Edwards

By President Wingblade
We may recall the story of the
railway engineer who, because of
a wrong decision which proved
tragic, lost his reason and kept
repeating the words incessantly—
"If I only had; If I only had."
The fatal mistake of this engine-er
was that as his train was ap-proaching
the bridge over a swol-len
stream, though the bridge
seemed, to him, clearly weakened
'and unstable, yet, he decided to
cross it with the result that the
bridge crashed and scores of lives
were lost.
We have now closed the old
year and have begun the new.
Every day will be crowded with
choices and possibilities — rich
with opportunity. What are we
going to do with this vista, this
panorama of the hours and days?
I shall never forget Raymond
Robbins speaking, after the great
world war, with a magnetic power
the like of which one does not
often hear. I quote:
"I have come out of this war
with two emotions surging in my
heart--one is that of gratitude, the
other of obligation.
"But I am not thinking so
much of myself or of those
whose hair has already begun
to turn gray. I am thinking,
rather, of that sea of upturned
faces, the youth on our land,
those who possess that some-thing,
that enthusiasm, which is
never known after forty.
"What are they going to do with
the opportunities that lie ahead?"
"Time" must be seized by the
forelock for he passes so quickly
by. "Do it now" says the business
man. "This orre thing I do," says
the great apostle.
We are here to sharpen our
tools, to store the mind, to clarify
our thinking, to enlarge our vision,
to enrich our personalities — to
make great decisions.
May every Bethel student dur-ing
the coming year, increasingly
GROW in Christ and also GLOW
for Him—and then be willing to
GO whitherseever He leads.
"If you can fill each unforgiving
minute
With sixty seconds' worth of dis-tance
run,
Then you own the world and all
that there is in it—
And, furthermore, you are a man,
my son."

Quiet time alone with God for
prayer and Bible study are an ex-cellent
basis for a deeper walk
with Him, according to Marjorie
Malm, a Seminary middleman, who
has proved the truth of this in her
own life.
Although prominent in child
evangelism and Missionary Band
activities through leadership a-bility,
Marjorie contributes her
success to the quiet times she
has spent apart with God.
Three years after accepting
Christ as her personal Savior at
the age of eight, Marjorie was con-fronted
by a great fear that her
conversion had not been genuine.
When praying it through with an
aunt in the middle of the night
brought no assurance to her heart,
she was miserable. Later, the Bible
proved her best friend, and God
gave her assurance through John
1:12.
During high school days, Mar-jorie
decided for full time service
for the Lord while alone with God,
and last year faced the possibility
of work on the foreign field after
preparing to do Christian educa-tion
work.
Dear Master, for this coming year
Just one request I bring:
do not pray for happiness,
Or any earthly thing
I do not ask to understand
The way Thou leadest me,
But this I ask: Teach me to do
The things that pleaseth Thee.
I want to know Thy guiding voice,
To walk, with Thee each day,
Dear Master, make me swift to
hear
And ready to obey.
And thus the year I now begin
A happy year will be—
If I am seeking just to do
The things that pleaseth Thee.

Probable Starting Lineups
Bethel Austin
Boys and Girls
basketball Starts
The intra-mural sports program
is under way! The Intra-mural
Sports committee has announced
that basketball schedules are set
up for both the boys' and girls'
basketball leagues. Playing started
last Tuesday night when the first
three girls' games were played.
The initial three games on the
boys' schedule will begin today.
The boys, with eight basketball
teams in their league, will play
three games a week from 3:00 to
6:00 p.m. on Fridays. This will
leave two teams idle each week.
If a boys' team does not have at
least four men on the floor to start
the game, it forfeits that game.
The tournament will be judged
on the percentage of games won
and the four best teams will have
a playoff for the championship.
The winner of this playoff will
receive recognition, which will be
announced later by the Student
Council and the Intra-mural Sports
committee.
The girls' league is comprised of
five teams and will play on Tues-day
evenings. A girls team must
have five players on the floor to
start the game or the game will
be automatically forfeited to the
other team. The winning team of
the girls' tournament will also
receive recognition.
Volley ball, badminton, handball,
indoor tennis, ping pong, and
swiming tournaments are being
planned at ' the present and will
be initiated in the near future.
The captains of the boys' teams
are: Don Dye, Willie Wessman,
Bob Daley, Dave Osterberg, W. J.
Wright, John Peterson, Vern Wal-lin,
Shine Swanson. Leading the
girls' teams will be Claryce Skoog,
Ruth Martinson, Ginny Hanson,
Corky Kortum, and Lois Leaf.
Sports Sketch
This week we introduce 18 year
old DuWayne Moline, better known
as "Red"; who is 5' 11' and weighs
150 lbs.
Although enrolling here at Bethel
just this last quarter, Red has al-ready
become very popular with
the student body and has earned a
spot as guard on the Indians start-ing
lineup.
Red hails from St. Paul, where
for the past two years he attended
Johnson High School. He was an
all-round athlete participating in
track; running the 120 yard high
and low hurdler, and basketball as
a guard. Red also participated on
Johnson's "Cross Country" team.
Prior to arriving in St. Paul, Red
attended Brayan High School,
where he was active on the grid
iron, as quarterback.
Red recalls that one of the out-standing
high-lights of his basket-ball
career thus far, was the win-ning
of a trophy last year; due to
being high scorer for a team con-sisting
of high schol stars in the
city league.
As to his future, Red states that
he plans to attend Bethel two
years, and expects to seek a first
string berth at quarterback on the
Indian's "regulars" next fall. After
completing his work here at Beth-el,
Red plans to serve a hitch in

The season opener was dropped
to Fourth Baptist of Minneapolis

squad accompanied the varsity to
Superior where the powerful de-fensive
playing of the Superior
State "B" team overpowered them,
29-9.
After journeying to Rochester,
the "little bees" of Rochester Jun-ior
College scored a 24-19 victory
over the local "B" squad.
A margin of 16 points by the
Bethel "B" cagers gave, them
victory over Bethlehem Baptist
of Minneapolis, 38-22.
A rallying offensive, displayed
by the Bethel junior cagers in their
game with Bethany High School
at Bethany College, accounted for
59 points to their opponents 13,
which gave them their second vic-tory
for the season.
I'd like to welcome Kurt Janke to the Sport Staff of the CLARION.
Kurt has had much experience as a sports writer in the schools he has
attended. Kurt wrote "Sport Sketch" for this and the last issue and he
will continue that column in the coming issues.

Austin Takes Bethel
58-45, Last Saturday
Their first defeat in conference play was handed the Indians last
Saturday night when they were defeated by Austin Junior College, 58-
45, at Austin, Minnesota. Only the regulars scored for Bethel, highest
among whom was Kenny Greenman who totaled 19 points for the
evening.
The Indians controlled the opening tip off and Unruh was fouled
before they were able to score. The toss was made good and Bethel took
an early lead of 1-0. , After an Austin goal, Greenman sunk a free toss,
tying the score at 2 all. Austin then led by a small margin until a hook
shot from the keyhole was made good by Greenman which again tied
the score 12-12. Austin then added a charity toss only to have the lead
taken , from them when Greenman again connected with a push shot,
puting his team in front 14-13. Before the first quarter ended, a goal
by Austin put them in front 15-14.

Collegiate Societies Usher
In '49 Social Program
'i he collegiate societies have taken another step in showing that
they can be a useful, purposeful medium for student leadership develop-ment
and expression.
Friday evening Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. each brother-sister group held a
joint meeting. The Lads and Lassies held their program in the recrea-tion
room of Edgren Hall. Four extemporaneous speeches were given
on the topic "You do you part and I'll do mine and well get along in
'19," by Cal Fernlund, Paul Danielson, Roger Hedberg andJohn Balian.
Short stories written by Bethel students on the basic theme of Christian
youth were read by Jim Hubbard, JoAnn Jensen and Marilyn Kortum.
Einar Palm played several musical numbers on his accordian, and Cliff
Anderson played a trumpet solo. Refreshments were served by the
Lassies.
A somewhat different program
was held by the Lords. David Tutt
(of Minnesota) Phil McLain (of
Florida) gave a ten minute prepar-ed
speech on the topic of "Minne-sota
weather" pro and con respec-tively.
Roy al Peterson then gave a brief
humorous talk on new year's reso-lutions.
A simulated scene of a radio
news broadcast of the highlights
of 1949 was presented over a loud
speaker system. The purpose was
to view in retrospect the coming
year.
Following the three presentations
faculty adviser Prof. S a m p e l
Schultz gave a short critique on
the program in general. Refresh-ments
were served in the lounge
of Bodien Residence.
Gymnastic Class
Begins Activities
Mr. Ernie Davis, director of the
Christian Youth Center in St. Paul
is holding classes in gymnastics
every Monday evening in the semi-nary
gym.
About twenty enthusiastic gymn-asts
turned out for their first meet-ing
with Davis this week. He has
hopes of molding the boys into a
varsity team that will be able to
put on exhibitions in the local high
schools.

THE CLARION
Friday, January 14, 1949
As we sat on our suitcases in
the station from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
waiting for a bus, Hazel Bondeson
said, "Well, maybe a year from
now we can look back on this
whole trip and laugh." But they
finally let us venture forth.
Phyllis Tippett: Let's give the
roll call in Sociology class. I'm 84.
Ken Carlson: If you're that old,
why don't you act your age?....0w!
Everytime I come near my sister
she pokes me with her hat pin.
I've already had six "injections"!
Just then someone noticed that
Hazel Bondeson was holding the
6-month-old baby boy passenger in
her lap. Everyone began singing,
"Hazie's got a boyfriend. Hazie's
got a boyfriend."
Elna Wintersteen. She's smart.
She gets 'em young and trains 'em
right.
On Tuesday evening at 7 p.m.
we arrived in St. Paul. Everyone
was relieved to be "back home" at
Bethel, but vowed they would
never take any more 45-hour bus
trips—chartered or not chartered!

Introducing:
Jean Lindblom
Office Mainstay
We turn in this issue of the
Clarion, from the outstanding lead-ers
on the campus to one of the
girls behind the scenes, to intro-duce
to you Jean Lindblom from
Morehead, Minnesota. Jean is a
Bethel graduate, who upon COM-pleting
a year of Christian Work-er's
training and two years of col-lege
work, became a member of
the College Office Staff.
Jean has worked behind the
scenes from another angle on
the Bethel campus, too. With
her trusty camera—and it's a
new one—she has covered al-most
all the, important events,
games and activities and pro-duced
some mighty fine speci-mens
of her favorite hobby.
Sports and reading have their
places, too, in her hobby sche-dule,
and at the school games
here, she can combine business
with pleasure, since it is often
her job to take tickets.
Have you opened your mail box
lately--heart pounding with expec-tation—
and found a letter, perhaps
even two? Then you may think of
and thank Jean next time you
reach for your letters, for she is
the one who puts them in your
boxes. Just to be on the safe side
and stay on Jean's good side, be
sure to write your return address
complete with name and box num-ber,
though, because returned mail
with nothing more than "Bethel
College, St. Paul." makes life com-plicated
for her, and is one of her
pet peeves.
Sorting and handling mail is
not her only job, however. The
lovely mineographed copies of
exam questions you look forward
to so eagerly at the middle and
end of each quarter are also
. Jean's work, as well as all the
other quiz sheets and mineo-graphed
work which comes into
your hands.
During Jean's three years as a
student at Bethel, from '43 to '46,
she worked as a nurses' aid a
great deal of the time, but found
time to be active on a Gospel
Team. It was through the impres-sions
left by visiting Gospel teams,
as well as the influence of Rev.
Marvin Sampelson that Jean came
to her decision to attend Bethel.
PDT Announces
Entrance Rules
't'he Progressive Discussion
Group has announced the require-ments
for participation in the or-ganization.
First, men students of
Bethel college and seminary who
have successfully completed no
less than forty-five quarter hours
of academic work in residence, and
who have earned an honor point
ratio of no less than 1.5 shall be
eligible for membership in this or-ganization.
Second, a student who
meets the above requirements shall
be invited to become a member of
the organization.
By the way, were your Christ-mas
cards late in arriving? Of
course this may not have had a
thing to do with it, but several
Bethel fellows were working in
the St. Paul Post Office before the
Christmas holidays!
On our chartered bus trip to
New York (details are given
elsewhere in this issue), we had
a 6-month-old baby for a mascot.
He, incidentally, was the best-
;behaved member of the group.
But you'll never guess what he
got for Christmas....two front
teeth! Truth is indeed stranger
than fiction!
Eleven Bethelites Journeyed East
Via Bus to Spend Holiday Seaspn
On Friday afternoon, December 1S, Bethel's neighbors were no
doubt surprised to see a large Greyhound bus pull up in front of the
Girls' Dorm. Already in it were students from Trinity Seminary and
St. Paul Bible Institute, and soon eleven Bethel students were packed
in also. There was joyful singing by those who were bidding us good-bye.
(They must have been glad to see us go.) But we didn't care. We
were on a chartered bus to New York City, thence to
various homes on the Coast for
the Christmas holidays! These are
some of the remarks one could
hear as the bus was leaving:
Ken Gullman: Did I see tears in
Perry Hedberg's eyes?
Helen Olson: (emphatically)
NO!
Shirley Carlson: What shall I
do with my fur coat? Where shall
I put it?
Ken Carlson: Throw it out the
window. You know, if in doubt
throw it out. ‘.
Sally Tierney: (Every hour on
the hour) Does anyone want a
chicken sandwich or a piece of
fruitcake?
Kirsten Linder: You con have
'em; I don't want 'em. I'm too fat
for them.
We stopped every few hours for
rest or food. In Chicago and Cleve-land
we changed busses. Cleveland
had a new, ultra-modern bus depot.
However, we preferred "Ma"
Olson's lunchbox to their restaur-ant
dinners.
As people stared at us gathered
in a circle in the waiting room,
munching away, Ken Carlson said:
"Boy, it's a good thing "Ma" can't
see us now. She'd frown on this."
Shirley Carlson: Hey, Kenny, I
think I left my classring back in
the Cleveland station.
Ken Carlson: Well, that's nice.
It's always a good idea to leave a
few souveneirs behind.
We arrived in New York at 5:15
a.m. Sunday. Two weeks later we
met in the same station at mid-night
for the return trip. This
was slightly more harrowing. We
were held up for four hours in
Chicago due to icy road conditions,
among other things.
In order to receive full rights of
membership he shall submit to the
organization within one month after
receipt of the invitation an opinion
of at least 2,001 words with biblio-graphy
on one of the following

Poor James Hubbard was in quite a predicament once. It seems
that one of his professors has a habit of gazing over his victims
when he is about to ask a question, and then pouncing upon the one
who makes the slightest move. So there "Tubby Hubby" sat for
a whole period not daring to blow his nose. (He' had a cold, too.)
Speaking of colds, Professor Engwall's recent Clarion remark was
this : "They say a cold strikes a person in his weakest spot. I have a
cold in the head today, so now you know where I'm the weakest."
What is more discouraging than to rush down to the dining hall
and find a closed door between you and a warm, crunchy breakfast
on the one morning of the year you get up late? Dorothy Allen says
it's worse than finding your mailbox empty for a whole week, and
I think I'm inclined to agree with he,r—as anyone can plainly see.
