Art Classes
Art instruction classes to en-courage
Bethel students interested
in this field will be held one hour
each week until the end of the
school year, according to Mr. Gene
Johnson, in charge of the group.
Work in charcoal drawing will
begin at the next meeting. Creative
art will be stressed, but some in-struction
in lettering will be given.
Fourteen prospective class mem-bers
met at three fifteen Wednes-day
afternoon, February 23, in
•-oom 211 to discuss future plans
concerning the course. Brief in-structions
will be given at the be-ginning
of each period and the re-mainder
of the hour will be spent
in actual art work.
It is hoped that such an arrange-ment
will give the student an op-portunity
to express himself arti-stically
and what his appetite for
further study in the field of art in
later years. Both advanced and be-ginning-
art students have enrolled.
Student Council
Begins Survey
The Student Council is inaugura-ting
a program in which, by means
of an interview, each student will
be able to discover for himself and
for fellow students his individual
possibilities for participation in ex-tra-
curicular activity.
The aim is to plan a program in"
which even the busiest students
will have, some opportunity to de-velop
a well-rounded education
and abilities for the most service
in later life.
Preliminary forms provided next
week are to be filled out for use
in the interviews the week after.
Watch for further announcement
as to time and place of interview.
Notre Dame placed first in de-bate,
Wisconsin second, Macales-ter
third, Bethel fourth, Eau Claire
fifth, and River Falls sixth.
All Bethel's men were entered in
discussion where they ranked fair-ly
high. The topic was "Civil Li-berties."
Leading discussors were
picked on the basis of points for
participation, material, ability of
presentation, etc. Notre Dame
placed first, second, and third, the
University of Minnesota placed
fourth.
In the extempt speaking Notre
Dame placed first, St. Mary's sec-ond,
and the University of Wiscon-sin
third. Upper Iowa, St. Cath-erine's,
and St. Olaf placed in that
order in oratory. Eau Claire_ State

"Dear Old Dad," a series of
laughable episodes of school life in
the twenties, will be presented by
the Junior Class two evenings the
weekend of April 1. The first per-formance
will be given on Thurs-day,
March 31, for the student
body; the second, on Saturday,
April 2, for the churches of the
Twin Cities.

Plan Prospective
Students' Day
This year the Student Council
is promoting a program to acquaint
Conference young people with Beth-.
el campus, faculty, student body,
and curriculum. A possible 100
young people from a radius of 500
miles are expected to respond to
the invitation.
The planned schedule includes
the collegiate socities' program
next Thursday evening; opportun-ity
to attend classes, a musical pro-gram
with greetings from the
President and Dean in the after-noon
on , Friday; and a chance to
cheer Bethel's basketball team as
they play Northwestern in the
evening.
The Student Council and Admini-stration
are going to provide room
and board for the guests. Double-deck
bunks will be placed in the
dormitory rooms. The present oc-cupants
of the rooms will automa-ticly
act as individual hosts and
hostesses to the guest in their
MOM.
The success of the whole ven-ture
may well rest upon the Bethel
students with whom the guest will

Alexis to Discuss
Minister's Income
The all-school Christmas party
this year, sponsored by the Alexis
Society had more lasting results
than just enjoyment of the pro-gram.
At the program an offering
was taken. The Alexis Society re-cently
received a report from the
Hawaii Branch of CARE to which
this offering was sent. Eight CARE
packages have been sent to Japan
for distribution by Rev. Francis
Sorley.
The next meeting of the Alexis
Society will be held on Tuesday,
March 15, at 8:00 p.m. Since that
is Income Tax Day, a timely topic
has been chosen that will be of
interest to all ministers (present
and future), their wives and future
ministers' wives: The Minister's

time in making their decis-ions.
The cast has already proved
to be promising and the event is
looked forward to with great ex-pectations
by those who have had
a foretaste of what is in store.

Founders Week
Speakers Stress
Christian Living
Founder's Week has left in its
wake a decided spiritual emphasis
at Bethel which is apparent in Col-lege
and Seminary alike. By their
own testimonies, visiting pastors
returned to their pulpits to preach
with renewed vigor the unsearch-able
riches of Christ
Drs. Byus, Ramm, and Adams,
the main speakers of the Con-ference,
presented various phases
of Christian living. In characteris-tic
simplicity, Dr. Byus brought
forth deep spiritual truths, while
Dr. Ramm emphasized a practical,
livable theology and Dr. Adams ex-pounded
the, words of Paul to Tim-othy.
Their challenging and heart-searching
messages bore fruit
Thursday evening at Elim Church
when pastors and Seminary stud-ents
came forward in large num-bers
to consecrate their lives anew
to the calling of the Master. Dr.
Widen, M.D., Dr. Pierce and others
also spoke at the Conference. All
messages displayed remarkable
continuity.
Plans for a national Youth Or-ganization
were presented the last
day of the Conference by Mr. Val
Hauck and activities were climax-ed
by the annual Banquet at Elim
at eight that night.
Dorm Reservation
Deadline March 15
Application blanks for dormitory
rooms were distributed to the stu-dent
body Tuesday, March 1. Each
student may select a roommate
and first, second, and third choices
of rooms.
All students now attending Bet-hel
College or Seminary must re-turn
these filled out application
blanks to the office before March
15, Tuesday, in order to be given
preference over prospective stud-ent
applications.
Preference in room assignments
will be given according to the class
year of the student.
Anderson will direct the produc-tion.
According to Professor Samuel
Schultz, "As a historical sketch it
is very informative and education-al
for Bethel students. No Bethel
student should miss it."
Dean Carlson has this to add:
"Bethel's background is full of
biographical sketches which are
just as interesting as any of the
current episodes. If any students
today think they have something
over their predecessors in humor,
problems, or interests, they had
better come and see 'Dear Old
Dad' ".
Male Chorus Gets
Ready for Tour
After getting off to a slow start
the Bethel Male Chorus is now
facing a busy schedule of concerts.
March 24 and 25 will find them
singing down in Forest City, Iowa.
Another concert is scheduled for
Bethlehem Baptist church in Min-neapolis
on March 31.
Plans are now nearly completed
for their annual spring concert
tour, which will see them heading
in a westerly direction.
The Chorus numbers twenty-sev'en
men, headed by President,
Bob Mantzke, and including in its
membership the famed Bethel male
quartet. The director is, as in pre-vious
years, Prof. Nels Sjernstrom.
String Band Play
For Swedish Club
The Swedish Club meeting,
though hampered by oncoming ex-ams,
was well attended. The club
members sang old Swedish folk
songs, which refreshed many child-hood
memories, and recited in
Swedish the Bible verse they had
memorized.
The special feature of the even-ing
was the Swedish String Band
which gave its first performance.
Besides the singers, the Band in-cludes
such instruments as accord-ions,
guitars, and mandolins.
Mrs. Om. ark also was on the pro-gram
and gave a few readings "Pa
sle,nska." Refreshments were serv-ed.
The boys are especially invited
to • attend the next meeting!

The debate squad again showed itself capable of defending its high
standings by successfully competing in the annual speech meet at Eau
Claire State Teachers College. Bethel placed fourth in debate and sixth
in the sweepstakes or total pointage although they did not enter oratory,
extempt speaking, or after dinner speaking.
In the sweepstakes Bethel was led by Notre Dame, University
of Wisconsin, Eau Claire State Teachers, St. Catherine's, and Ma-calester,
in that order.
Both of Bethel's teams were entered in debate. Lee Kingsley and
Bob Daley won five and losing none. Charles Germany and Henry Peter-son
won two. Kingsley led in the total points secured in speaking. He
was followed by Germany, Daley, and Peterson in that order.

Christian Life Article on Morals
In Christian Schools Questioned
In the January issue of Christian Life there appears an article en-titled
"Moral Decay of Christian Youth" by the assistant to the president
of Columbia Bible college. The statements relative to standards of
moral conduct of youth in general and specifically of students in two
Bible schools and a Christian college, all three of which are classified
as fundamental in teachings, are startling and revealing.
qiigen lads Be telccepleci?
The first reaction to the article may be one either of questioning the
facts submitted or granting the facts and then questioning the advis-ability
of the publication of the article. Two types of attitudes are likely
to seek expression as the result of the reading of the article, each of
which is deplorable. The first is a tendency to single out a group as
being above reproach and in some instances further elevating its posi-tion
by pointing accusing fingers at other groups ; the second, a tendency
to justify individual patterns of conduct along the lines of reasoning
that the behavior is no different from that of the majority.
Furthermore, is one to accept without reservation the view ex-pressed
by the author that a survey of youth conducted along lines
of the Kinsey report would probably reveal conditions as bad or
possibly worse among our younger generation?
Three causative factors for the moral decay are considered by the
author to be of major significance. These include the social life and
school situations in which early youth finds itself today, the taboo or
apathy of the Christian home, and the weakness in the preaching and
the teachings on the subject of moral conduct. Firm and understanding
counselling in addition to frank Bible teaching is advocated.
2/134€11t 2eacle44 clartrte.41 Se/idioms
What are the solutions to the present conditions? The editors, realiz-ing
the import of the situation, asked for recommendations from ex-perienced
youth leaders. The responses of the latter group, published in
the February issue of Christian Life, support to a large extent the point
of view and corroborate the facts present in the original article. Sug-gested
procedures involve rigorous discipline in the home, plain preach-ing
in the pulpit on moral issues, and the preparation of constructive
Christian literature capable of combating the influences of demoraliz-ing
literature and activities.
One leader expressed the opinion that moral decay can be laid
to the fact that the two important truths, namely, the conviction that
"all sin is wrong" and that "one can never get away with any sin,"
are lacking in our present day homes and churches.
A challenging point raised by two of the contributors was the
appropriateness of the title of the article. Is there decay among real
Christian young people or would a more accurate title be one in which
either "Church Youth" or Young People Who Claim to be Christians"
be substituted for "Christian Youth"? Are the statements applicable
in the case of born-again young people?
Salation Masi Nal 044,4/ su
What about the moral standards on our campus? Certainly we trust
that conditions portrayed in the article are a far cry from the stardards
of morality exemplified in our student body, whether the evaluation be
made in terms of a criterion of Church Youth or Christian Youth. The
preceeding statement which some may judge as a little too idealistic
does not imply that there is no place for rigorous instruction, either
formal or informal, on moral issues at our college.
Whether the instruction be in the nature of preaching or teaching,
caution must be exercised to insure that there will be no glorification
of sin but that it be presented in its proper aspects, the presentation
involving the tact necessary for the proper acceptance of the instruction.

More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world speaks of. Wherefore let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?
—Tennyson—Morte d' Arthur
With all this talk of secret pals,
I've been waiting for mine to pro-duce
material for this column.
Since I had no luck, you'll have
to bear with me once more.
Then we must experience a new
awareness of the Biblical promise
that God is abundantly able and
willing to redeem and make useful
the raw stuff of broken humanity.
"Thou art Simon . . . thou shalt
be called Peter." "If any man is in
Christ, he is a new creature."
Again, we must respond to the
Biblical call that we share Christ's
loving concern for others. "Love
one another as I have loved you."
Christ imparts Himself to the one
who is willing to be a channel of
Christ's love to others—in prayer
and deed.
A final word. The glow of reality
will come as that spontaneous
overflow of an unhurried fellow-ship
with God in Scripture search-ing
and persevering prayer. "They
that wait on the Lord ..."

Politics
Norway's Choice
Recently the Norwegian Foreign Minister, Halyard M. Lange, came
to the United States to make inquiries regarding the proposed North
Atlantic Pact and the conditions which would govern his country's
entrance into it, if that course should be decided upon. Mr. Lange talked
with Secretary Acheson. On his way home he visited London and talked
to Mr. Bevin. Upon returning to Oslo, he announced that Norway had
decided to pin her hope of security on this new Atlantic agreement.
There are good reasons for believing that this Is Norway's free
choice, made by her own parliamentary leaders.
In order to get some background for Norway's action in joining the
Pact, we must recall an incident which occurred over two years ago, in
January, 1947. The incident was the presentation to Norway of a demand
on the part bf Soviet Russia for
military bases on Spitsbergen
island. This demand was described
by a correspondent of the New
York Times. in Oslo at the time,
as having produced "the biggest
shock Norwegians have had since
the days of Nazi aggression." Nor-way
did not acquiesce to the de-mands.
To meet the needs of her
national interest, Norway looked
beyond the traditional policy of
Scandinavian neutrality.
Opinion has differed on this side
of the Atlantic as to whether the
Pact will be strengthened by the
inclusion of Norway. Nevertheless,
as future events unfold it shall be
useful to a better understanding of
the effects the North Atlantic Pact
to remember the Spitsbergen in-cident,
and to recognize that Nor-way
took the initiative in embrac-ing
the Pact.
—J. M. Balian
There is an autobiographical vol-ume
in our library written by an
alumnus of Bethel entitled, "Born
That Way." The author is Dr. Earl
Carlson, now a specialist of nat-ional
note with offices in New
York and Florida.
When I think of Dr. Earl Carlson
I think of a young man who strug-gled
against seemingly impossible
handicaps.
We recall the, story of Zacchaeus
in the Bible. He desired much to
see Jesus; but, because of a handi-cap,
he had to "run ahead." Well,
there have been many other peo-ple
in world history who, because
of handicaps, have had to rise early
and run ahead—so to speak.
"The heights by great men reached
and kept,
Were not attained by sudden
flight;
But they, while their companions
slept,
Were toiling upward in
night."
Dr. Earl Carlson was born while
a terrible blizzard was raging in
Minneapolis; and, because of the
lack of medical care, suffered in-juries
at birth which made him a
"spastic," or afflicted with "Little's
disease."
Though he did have a wonderful
Christian mother, he early became
an orphan and was compelled to
struggle on almost alone. In spite
of physical handicaps, he had a
brilliant mind and was very much
interested in physical and chemical
research. While a young student at
Bethel he invented a gasoline en-gine
that really worked.
It was very difficult for him to
walk or talk or even to write, but
he continued his education, at the
University of Minnesota, at Prince-ton,
and also at H a r v a r d. At
Princeton he became librarian, and
at Harvard a medical specialist in
the disease from which he himself
suffered. He has conducted clinics
in many parts of the world.
In great athletic contests, handi-caps
are considered an honor. And
when we contemplate the great
heroes who have struggled and suc-ceeded,
should we not also consider
handicaps, whether physical or fi-nancial,
as a challenge to our met-tle
and faith, And should we not
determine, by the grace of God, to
become more than conquerors be-cause
of His great love.

"Life cannot be measured by

"The men who have literally
shaped the destiny of the world

Dr. Ramm
Oswald Chambers has said, "Today men are not asking so much—
Is Christianity true; but is it real?" The world demands the hallmark
of reality. And for the lack of it in our lives, the world is unimpressed
with our profession. Yes, for the lack of it too often we try to pretend
to ourselves and others that "all is well with my soul," when deep in
our heart we know that our present experience of Christ is not what
we could recommend to others with enthusiasm.
How shall we recapture the glow of New Testament experience
and so have something real to share with others? The answer is
available.
We must catch anew the Biblical estimate of man's tragic weak-ness,
failure, and sin. "I know that in me . . . there dwelleth no good
thing." There can be no experience of Christian reality until there is
a thorough debunking of the fiction of our own personal qualification
to be or to do.
With the spring weather coming

appearance in the girls' dorm. For
just a sample:
Just give me a man
With a million or two,
One that is handsome will happily

A dashing young fellow is swell

Or one that is famous would suit
me o.k.
But if the man shortage should get
any worse,
Go back to the very first line of

I the recent game against Waldorf, eager Pete Unruh, Indian high
scoring forward, broke one of his fingers which will keep him from play
in the remaining games of the season. This loss has meant another
dent in the Indian lineup. As a result, Larson and Greenman will be
seeing more action at the guard positions and Carlson will hold the
center position. Broken bones heal quickly however, and next year
Unruh's finger will be just like new.
I'm sure you'll all be looking for a place to go to relax right
after the coming finals! ! Well, allow me to insist that you all come
out to the "Coffee-Cup" game, which will be played on the Monday
following exams, March the 21st. So, don't worry about the D's you
aren't going to get and be on hand to watch the Faculty battle it
out against the Allstars. I'm sure you'll all want to support the NeW
Field House Fund.
Coach Edwards gave me the assurance that in their last basketball
game of the season, the Indians are going to blot out the Northwestern
team and humble the "Eagles" before the "Indians." This event is
scheduled for Prospective Students Day week-end so keep the game in
mind and plan to attend.

Indians Play Sioux Falls Tomorrow Night
Bethel Divides
Cage Pair On
Road Trip
On Friday, the 18th of February,
1949, the Indian cagers won the
first of two games played on their
recent out of town tour by edging
out Waldorf Junior College, of
Forest City, Iowa, by a score of
46-45. Having led 43-27 at the close
of the third quarter the Bethelite's
were held to only three points in
the final period, and loose de-fensive
playing enabled their op-ponents
to narrow a 16 point mar-gin
to within one point at the close
of the game.
Kenny Greenman led the Bethel
scoring column by totaling 15 mark-ers.
Unruh followed second with a
total of 13 points and Sandberg
and Schlader each netted seven.
Dischinger hit for 3 points and
Carlson was held to one point.
Bethel completed their recent out
of town tour by loosing to Worth-ington,
58-46, on Saturday night,
19th of February, 1949, at Worth-ington.
Kenny Greenman was again
the leading scorer on the local
team by netting 19 points. In spite
of the loss, Bethel still retains
third place in the Southern Minne-sota
Junior College Conference.
Schlader took second scoring
honors by totaling 11 points; Sand-berg
and Larson had totals of 6
and 5 points respectively; Disch-inger
hit for 3 markers and Waage
totaled two.
In the closing minutes of
the first half, the acurate shoot-ing
of Greenman and Schlader en-abled
the Indians to tie the score
at 23-23, at halftime.
Worthington took the lead in the
second half, however, before the
third period closed the Bethel ca-gers
once again tied the score at
33 apiece. Five, more points added
by the Worthington team made the
third period score read 38-33. Thir-teen
points were scored by the
Indians in the final period but it
did not match Worthington's twen-ty
additional markers, and the
the Worthington team were the
victors, 58-46.
Several fast breaks at the begin-ning
of the first period awarded
the Indians an early lead of 13-2.
The Northwestern boys then began
to connect with the hoop and
narrowed the margin to 15-10 at
the end of the first period. The
Indians widened their victory
margin one point to make the half
time score read 29-23.
An offensive attack by the
Northwestern Eagles in the third
period put them out in front 36-35
at the close, of the third period.
At the beginning of the final per-iod
the Indians once again recover-ed
their lead and went ahead 40-
39, however, they were unable to
stop another offensive thrust by
their opponents and Northwestern
pushed ahead again and the game
ended 40-45, Bethel losing.

league has moved up to tie team
number 8 for the key spot in the
boys' intramural basketball tourna-ment.
Team number 5 has won
four games while dropping one;
the same situation is seen in team
number 8.
In the girls' intramural basket-ball
tournament team number 5 is
still in first place.

Sports Sketch
August Waage, 21-year-old sopho-more,
hails from Omah, Nebr. Bud
as he is better known, weighs 155
lbs., is 5 feet 10 1/2 inches tall, and
has black wavy hair.
Before coming to Bethel, Bud
completed one year at Omaha Bible
Institute, where he took an active
part in extra-curricular activities.
During high school days, Bud
attended North High in Omaha,
where he was active in various
types of athletics, but his main
interest was in the field of wrestl-ing.
After graduating from high
school in 1945, Bud enlisted in the
Navy, where he served on an LSM,
During his stay in the Navy, Bud
injured his wrist, and was dis-charged
in 1946, after one year of
service in various parts of the
Pacific area.
Here at Bethel, Bud has become
a very reliable performer in reliev-ing
the regulars, especially since
this is only Bud's second year of
competition in major basketball.
Bud plays "forward," and is very
capable ball handler, and side shot
artist. Next year Bud should really
be a standout on the Indian start-ing
quintet.
As to his future, Bud plans to
graduate from Bethel, majoring in
Science, and then probably attend
the "U", to pick up a minor in
Physical Education, which will en-able
him to fulfill his ambition,
that of being a science instructor
and a coach.

Coffee Cup Game
Features Faculty
The Second Annual Coffe Cup
Game will be played on the 21st
of March in the College gymnas-ium.
This basketball event, which
was inaugerated last year by the
Sports Staff of the CLARION, will
be under the direction of a joint
committee representing the CLAR-ION
and the BETHEL FIELD-HOUSE
ASSOCIATION.
This year a strong Faculty team
will take the floor against an All-
Star team chosen from the Intra-mural
League by the CLARION.
Coach Edwards, who will lead the
Faculty once again, expressed con-fidence
that the Teachers will
claim the Coffee Cup this year. His
hopes are based on the fact that
Quinton Boh'ne and Wally Peter-son
will be in the line-up again
and that the team will be consider-ably
strengthened by the addition
of Gene Johnson and Bob Sandin.
The Professors will be out to
avenge the 47 to 39 defeat handed
them last year by the CLARION.
The Intramural All-Star's roster
includes the following: Shine
Swanson, Wessman, Hagstrom, Da-ley,
Ed Eklof, Vance, Lowell Ber-geson,
Roy Johnson, Don Anderson,
and Harold Nelson. The Stars will
undoubtedly have the edge on re-serve
strength.
The preliminary game will match
the basketball prowess of the Lads
against the chivalry of the Lords
as the Lassies and Ladies cheer.
The Coffee Cup Game this year
will be a benefit game
for the BETHEL FIELDHOUSE
ASSOCIATION. This organization
is promoting and directing a pro-gram
designed to raise funds for
a new gymnasium for our school.
Meet Foe On
Home Court
Tomorrow night, March 5, the
Indians play host to a strong Sioux
Falls College quintet in a non-conference
tilt in the Bethel
gymnasium, at 8:15 p.m. This game
will be the only meeting of the two
teams for this year. Last year the
two quintets met only once, play-ing
at Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The Indians lost by a score of 54-
41.
The Junior Indians will meet the
Calvary Baptist church team at
7:15 p.m., in the preliminary game.
In conference play this year the
Indians finished third behind Aus-tin
J.C., and Worthington J.C., with
a won-lost record of eight (8) vic-tories
and four (4) defeats.
The probable starting lineup of
the Indians will be Sandberg and
Waage at the forward positions,
Schlader and Dischinger as guards,
and Greenman as the pivot spot.
Lagers Lose to
Rochester; Win
Over Concordia

traveled to Rochester, Minne-sota,
where they met with a 61-57
defeat given them by the Roches-ter
Junior College cage quintet.
High scorers for Bethel were
Greenman, who netted 16 points,
Carlson, who hit for 13, and Sand-berg
who totaled 12 markers.
The Indians went out in front
by a score of 5-1 early in the first
period. The; Yellowjackets then be-gan
to "Swish" the hoop and tied
the score at 8 apiece. From this
point on, the Indians were unable
to regain the lead. The accurate
shooting of the host team put
Rochester in front 37-28 at half-time.
Three times in the final period
the Indians came within three
points of the victors, however, no
greater threat could be made and
the game ended with the Indians
being on the lower end of a 61-57
final score.

the Concordia Junior College team
went down under Indian strength
when they were defeated by a
score of 70-49 on Thursday, the

scoring honors for the event was
Kenny Greenman who totaled 29
points, the highest points scored
by any individual Bethelite this
season.

Betty Anderson
Life is pretty funny some times, isn't it? For instance when you get
a letter from someone in the business world, saying, "I wish I were
going to college. It would be wonderful to get plenty of exercise, good
food, and enough sleep for a change, instead of the busy life I lead."
People like that would probably be surprised to know that candy, pie
alamode, and the good ol' cup of coffee are a more regular part of the
college curriculum than the square meal.
Or would these people be such avid exercise enthusiasts if they
knew that about the only exercise the majority of us get is running for
first hour classes and the Snelling streetcar? Or that about the only
place we don't go equipped with -a book and a sandwich is the bathtub?
It's producing an age of bathless groggin's, believe me.
Speaking of that time honored innovation, the bath tub, I hear that
Bob Mantske is going to cut what is probably the first "Singing in the
Bath Tub" album. When you stop to think of it, this isn't such a bad
idea.
Where else could a person produce such mellow notes. The water
makes so much noise, anything would sound good. And there is no fear
of a critical listener. Nobody can hear you. That is, unless you live
at 1357 Wynne St. Bath tub singers in this residence are in the sad
plight of having to share the bath with thirteen other couples, six little
kiddies, two field mice, and Archie Cummings. But such things will
happen in the face of such a critical housing shortage.
By the number of Bethel students standing on corners with little
tin cups, I can tell that it is time to pay tuition again. In a way, the
:.tart of the quarter is like New Year's. People are always resolving to
do better, to get good grades, and even to study for Coach Edwards' pop
quizzes. Roy Dalton, is even going to make it easier for Mr. Mild's next
y ear novel students to get good grades by publishing condensed vers-ions
of all the novels he took tests on this term, but didn't quite finish.
Before exams get us down, we can almost look at the funny side of
them. Sights like Jim Rentz and Dave Osterberg drinking •coffee through
a straw down in the, coffee shop, because they're too tired to reach
all the way down to the cup.
Or imagine Mr. Stjernstrom complaining about breathiness in his
choir the day after the big Lit test. And Jane Johnson and Ruth Skoog
agreeing that they weren't the offenders. After two hours of sleep, who
even has breath?
I wonder if long after our de-parture
from this place, we'll miss
the hamburger-gymshoe smell that
lingers 'round the main entrance,
or the way Stretch Frickenberg
sews buttons on his coat in Mr.
Otto's Ethics class, or the way a
fellow can come to school with a
brand new pair of rubbers and go
home with a size thirteen on one
foot and a size nine on the other.
—But that's life, Ma. And some-times
I'm inclined to think it's
a pretty wonderful one at that.

of Domestic Engineering. —The Standard
b_yy Hazel
One of our chapel speakers, Dr. Mitchell, brought out the fact that
there is a lot of "griping" going on in America. Does that hold true at
Bethel? As far is I can see, Bethel has not escaped this traditional
American expression. Why not have a "Bethel Acclamation Day", when
we can all sit down and count the blessings of being privileged to attend
this school? . . . They say the face of a college is its buildings (which
we all agree are wonderful), and its heart is its faculty.
If that is so, then its very life's blood must be in the student
body. And just where could you find a more active, wholesome or
grand group of pals? . . . Don't know exactly where the staff fits
into the picture, but we certainly wouldn't want to miss knowing
Mrs. Nelson in the coffee shop, who, smiling and nodding, en-courages
all those that have a yen to speak a few words of Swedish
to try them out on her; and that fine person known all over the
campus as "Eric", who's always willing to fix things for everyone—
from broken necklaces to tempermental desklamps, I've found.
While in this roseate mood, I might even say that it's a pleasure to
see the boys "doing dishes" at Bethel. As I walked by their place of
labor, after a luscious Sunday din-ner,
I heard Paul Danielson' ask,
"They say lamb is good for you.
Is it?" Kenny Carlson replied,
"Yeah. It makes you meek."
Some creature has written a
letter to Mr. and Mrs. Lawson,
housefather and mother at the
Girls' Dorm, stating why he, doesn't
date Bethel girls. It seems he is
waiting for a huge neon sign to
flash over a girl's head as she
walks by saying "This is T H E
ONE", before he asks her for a
date. Watch out, girls, this horrible
fate may befall you.
Here's an old song with new
words, which should be quite popu-lar
around this time:
I'v been working on my homework
All the livelong night,
I've been working on my homework
Just to pass.

Introducing:
Lee Kingsley
A Forensic Champ
A deep and resonant voice and
an impressive six feet of stature
are a good combination in any
speaker, and such a description fits
well one of Bethel's students, fore-most
in forensics, Lee Kingsley.
Winner of top honors in the, re-cent
Impromptu Speaking Contest
at Morehead, Minn., Lee won a
similar award at Denver, Colo., last
year. Lee has been very active in
forensic work during his five, years
at Bethel and has taken part in
many debates, traveling extensive-ly
to do it.
He believes debate is an especi-ally
valuable activity for minister-ial
candidates. It affords a fine
cross-section of the thinking of
college and university students
across the country, he feels.
Lee comes from the farmlands
of Trade Lake, Wis., and is cur-rently
the pastor at Dalbo, Minn.
He is married and two boys com-plete
the Kingsley family circle.
Lee was saved when he was
seventeen at a summer assembly
and shortly thereafter began to
consider the ministry. After corn-pleting
a year of Normal school,
he taught in the Wisconsin ele-mentary
schools, but finally felt
he should quit and come to Bethel.
Lee worked in a steel foundry part-time,
and began to take some clas-ses.
During the war years he was the
foreman at the foundry and three
years ago, after five years of em-ployment
there, quit to begin his
ministry at Dalbo. A seminary
senior, lee will graduate this
spring, and his immediate plans
are concerned with the acquisition
of a B.A. degree.
Teaching, ministerial work and
youth work are his plans for future
—In a country setting, he adds,
explaining that he has never been
able to shake of all the hayseeds.
Later the group went to the re-creation
hall where the patients
presented a musical and physical
education program. One phases of
the program was particularly in-teresting.
The group as well as the
patients were given rattles and toy
drums with which to beat out
rhythm.
After the program Mrs. Dixson
and Mr. Olson of the hospital staff
told of the problems and ultimate
aim of the recreation program.
Both stated that love was the
greatest factor in helping a mental
patient.
After supper the group was
shown how a electroencephalo-graph
machine works. This ma-chine
registers the electric impuls-es
of the brain, and given indica-tion
of any deterioration in the
brain.
A plea was made for phonograph
records and magazines. If you have
some you are not using, contact
Bill Lindroth or Paul Thompson
and they will arrange to have them
sent to the hospital.
