Meet Tonight
"Write us a letter once in awhile," says Dad, thus ringing down the
curtain on "Dear Old Dad" for its opening night presentation given last
evening before a full auditorium in the College Chapel. The sketch will
be presented again tomorrow evening for the benefit of the Twin City
Churches.
Opening with an everyday average family scene in the first act, the
Junior class production introduces John, who shares the lead with his
father---fruitlessly seeking work as he has given up hope of being able
to attend the "U.".
Although he feels that Bethel is "too small," John, played by the
Junior class president, Bob Daley, is finally persuaded to go up and look
the place over in the company of
his father, Frank Bostrom, played

. Many of the audience could re- .
member similar scenes in their
family life as Barbara, portrayed
by Shirley Hedberg, and Junior,
Ted Johnson, throw the otherwise
calm scene into turmoil.
No home is complete without
Mother, and we feel the task is
successfully accomplished in Helen
Olson as she coaches Junior and
Barbara on etiquette, encourages
John, and prepares the evening
meal for the family guest, Oscar
Gunnerholt, portrayed effectively
by Jim Hubbard.
It is the possibility of becoming
a "goofer boy" that finally convin-ces
John that he will give it a try.
The second act is a series of
reminiscent scenes in which Dad
lives again his school life here on
the campus in the '20's. Through
the eyes of Dad, and with the aid
of the flashbacks, the audience
feels that they are actually living
again on Bethel's campus in the
twenties.
Invasion Army
Makes Report
In Casa de Oro two of our mem-bers
visited in the home of a six-teen
year old high school girl.
Adriana was of a different faith.
She had never heard the true story
of the Gospel.
When she was told that Christ
died in her place, her response
was, "But that just doesn't seem
right—that someone else should be
willing to take the punishment that
I deserve."
She was shown from Scripture
that His was a sacrifical death for
us. Questions such as "Well, just
who is God and what is going to
happen to those people that never
accept Christ as Savior?" encour-aged
the members to talk on and
point out various Scripture.
In astonishment Adriana asked
"Why hasn't someone told me
about this before? There are
Christian people living all around
us and if they have such a wonder.
ful message, why aren't they tell-ing
people about it? I know that
from now on, I'm going to live for
Christ and tell all my friends this
wonderful story of love."
Professor Samuel Schultz has
completed the work on his doctor-ate,
and on June 23 he will official-ly
receive his ThD from Harvard.
In 1945 Prof. Schultz received
his ST1VI (Master in Science of
Theology) from the same school,
where he has majored in the Old
Testament field.
Samuel Schultz
His interest in this field was
created by Dr. Allen MacRae at
Faith Theological seminary where
he received his B.D. in 1944. He
went from Faith to Harvard, where
he studied under Dr. Robert Pfeif-fer,
with a three-year scholarship.
The last two years at Harvard
Mr. Schultz served as pastor of the
General Conference church in Cam-bridge,
Mass. (Now the Evangel
Baptist church of Belmont.)
Prof. Schultz is at present teach-ing
part time at St. Paul Bible
Institute as well as here in both
the college and seminary.
This summer (Dr.) Schultz will
serve as visiting professor at
Wheaton college teaching Old
Testament Survey and Biblical In-troduction.
Emergency Call
For 70 Workers
Sa-a-a-y, Bethelite! Have you con-sidered
the worthwhile prospect of
teaching in a Daily Vacation Bible
School for a week or two?
The latest news from the office
of Gene Johnson reveals that there
are some 35 schools in Minnesota
and surrounding states that need
teachers.
The call is open to SEVENTY
young people who can spend some
precious summer days this '49,
working to win the Christ-sought
souls of boys and girls.
Churches sponsoring these
schools will provide room and
board plus $15 a week to the teach-ers.
Does it sound interesting?
Worth praying about? Fine, then!
Consider carefully, and if you have
any more questions or if you are
all ready to sign up, rush over to
Gene Johnson's office or see Helen
Franklin in the main office right
now.
Debaters Rate
High In 1131 Meet
Eight first year debaters journey-ed
to River Falls, Wisc., March 26,
to attend the annual "B" tourna-ment
held at the River Falls State
Teachers college.
The teams were John Balian and
Henry Peterson, Bob Gilquist and
Louis Nelson, Delmar Dahl and
Harold Lind, and Clara Leggett
and Margaret Sheffler.
Each team had four debates. The
three men's teams won three each
and the girls won two. This made
a good standing for Bethel as
eleven out of sixteen debates were
won.
There were four undefeated
teams at the tournament. These
were the University of Minnesota
with 21 points, St. Marys college
with 20 points, the University of
Minnesota with 18 points, and Car-leton
with 16 points.
Out of a possible 24 points Peter-son
rated 18, Balian 15, Gilquist 18,
Nelson 14, Dahl 17, Lind 14, Shef-fler
11, and Leggett 16.
John Balian and Harold Lind en-tered
the after dinner speaking
contest, the topic being, "What a
Life." They placed third and fifth
in their respective groups.
Charles Germany and Robert
Daley accompanied the squad and
served as student judges in the
tournament.
Choir Holds
Spring Banquet
"Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come into His presence with sing-ing."—
Psalm 100:2.
With this verse as its theme the
Chapel Choir started off the first
annual banquet. Bob Frykenberg,
choir president, acted as "concert-master,"
and the "toast maestro"
was Bill Wright.
The banquet was held in the
beautifully decorated coffee shop.
A miniature red-robed choir formed
the centerpiece on the table.
The food was prepared by Ma
Olson. At the close of the meal the
group sang several choruses. The
Easternaires Trio then sang a num-ber.
Miss Carol Landberg presented
two selections on her violin, ac-companied
by Miss Helen Hoffman.
The Rev. Stanley Paulson, speak-er
for the evening emphasized the
importance of having the song in
the heart before it can be effective-ly
given forth to others. Mr. Smith,
choir director, made a few remarks
and Rev. Paulson closed with pray-er.
Special music throughout the
week includes the Bethel Male
Quartet, trombone selections, a
trumpet duet, and vocal presenta-tions.
Marwin Lindstedt will play
the organ.
Students are urged to attend all
meetings if at all possible. Prayer
services will precede evening ser-vices
from 6:30 to 6:45.
StuCon Plans
Spring Activities
The Student Council last week,
meeting for the first time in the
conference room of the library, out-lined
its work for the spring quar-ter.
The "musts" that appear on the
agenda are: (1) preparations for
the election of officers of the ma-jor
extra-curricular activities, and
(2) plans for the annual all-school
picnic which will take place around
the last week of the school year.
Chairmen Perry Hedberg brought
several proposals before the coun-cil,
among which were the recom-mendations
that (1) the presidents
of the college and seminary clases
in the future act as Student Coun-cil
representatives, and (2) an an-nual
financial and business report
be submitted by each activity.
An effort is being made to con-solidate
all phases of extra-curri-cular
activities under the Student
Council—"to tie up the loose ends,"
in the words of its president.
PDG Conducts
Panel Discussion
Under the leadership of John
Balian, Moderator, members of the
PDG presented a panel discussion
of the Articles of Faith of the Min-nesota
Minning and Mfg. Co., Chris-tian
Fellowship at their monthly
meeting Tuesday, March 22, at the
YMCA.
Dave Osterberg, Perry Hedberg,
and Marvin Linstedt each discus-sed
one of the Articles of Faith.
Following the presentation a brief
period of questions and answers
ensued.

The story is told of a school boy
who felt that his teacher, whose
name was Mr. Toil, made him work
all too hard. So he determined to
run away.
As he started out he came into
company with a fine man who also
wanted to travel. Together they
went, and soon came to a group of
carpenters who were building a
house. That, thought the boy, is
what I would like to do. Then I
would not need to suffer with that
harsh school teacher, Mr. Toil.
But soon he heard the foreman
shout an order to the men, and the ,
voice was like that of his teacher,
Mr. Toil. "Yes," said his compan-ion,
"that is a brother of your
teacher. He is a carpenter."
So they continued their walking
and soon came to a company of
soldiers drilling. How thrilling,
thought, the boy, would it not be
to mrach in that company with no
worry or strain. Just then the can-tain
gave a quick order. Again the
voice was like that of Mr. Toil,
and the boy started.
"You are right," said his com-panion,
"That is another brother
of your teacher. He went into
soldering."
As the two continued on their
way they came to a brass band
playing. That, thought the boy,
would be, just the thing he would
like to do. Only music all the day
long! But no sooner did he hear
the voice of the band master than
he realized that he must be an-other
brother of his teacher—who
had gone into music.
Finally the boy said, "I think I
will go back to school. I believe
that after all the Mr. Toil who is
my teacher, severe as he seems at
times, is really kinder and more
sympathetic than any of his bro-thers."
And so they started back
to the school.
They had now journeyed far in
the hot sun, and the beads of pres-piration
were running down the
face of the boy. Looking more
closely at his companion the boy
seemed to see a resemblance of his
teacher in him also. He had been
walking with Mr. Toil all the time.
"Yes," said his companion, "I
am another brother. We are many
brothers, and you will find us
everywhere. But you will find that
it will -be difficult to accomplish
anything worthwhile in life with-out
keeping in close company with
Mr. Toil. And your best friend just
now is my brother the school
teacher."

Says 'Thank You
The following letter was just re-ceived
by the Alexis Society from
the Francis Sorleys in Japan. We
feel that it will be of general in-terest,
not only to Alexis, but to
the whole student body.
Dear friends:
We have just received the eight
CARE packages of food which your
group sent for us to distribute to
needy families in Japan.
Already we have had the privi-lege
of bringing one of the pack-ages
to a family where there is
desperate need. I learned of them
before Christmas and brought some
clothing for the four children as
well as some food. The father has
not been able to work for several
months and has been in the hos-pital
for many weeks.
Going to the hospital in - Japan
is much differehnt than it is in
America, for one of the members
of the family must go along to
live in the room, care for the sick
one, and purchase and prepare the
food.
This tremendous burden has
fallen upon the little mother who
must shuttle back and forth be-tween
her husband and her four
little children. Her own clotheg
have just about gone to pieces and
she was literally dressed in rags.
So we made up a box of clothing
You have read in all the papers of the news that's told in rhyme;
Everything from stately meetings to the latest act of crime.
Now, this week has been a full one all around our happy school,
And I'll try to rhyme each item though it's not an English rule.
The item that's of interest—that cannot be forgot—
Is the serious, eager question: "Tell me, teacher, what I got!"
They say this term in Psych.—Mr. Bloom was heard to say:
"Though it's quite unusual, individuals, you all received an A."
As each student whooped and hollered—breaking every rule,
Mr. Bloom smiled quite benignly, and shouted "April Fool!"
This week we all were sitting in our booths along the wall,
The Coffee Shop was silent as we studied, one and all.
Mrs. Lundberg came out saying with her kindly, smiling face—
"Come help yourself, my students, anything that's in the place."
As we came with trays a-groaning and our mouths began to drool—
Mrs. Lundberg—still a-smiling shouted at us—April Fool!
They told me to write a feature of value and of worth,
Write sharply turned-out phrases with a generous shape of mirth.
Make it ring with noble thinking; let it be a work of art;
May journalistic passion come flowing from your heart;
They said I'd be most famous—now, don't you think 'tie cruel—?
Instead of fame and praises—they're all shouting—"April Fool!"

Editor Slips In Word Edgewise
On Consistent Concern For Others
AN EXAMINATION of the Israeli Constitution will reveal that the
unicarmeral legislature is the central power of the government. A brief
resume of the unique setup of the Israeli government impresses one
with the fact that the faith of the people rests in the efficacy of ma-jority
rule.
• The legislature selects the president who has no substantive
power.
• Members of the legislature participate in the selection of the
judiciary.
• The courts may declare acts of the legislature unconstitutional,
however, the legislature may amend the constitution with consider-able
ease.
• The legislature has the sole right to suspend civil liberties in
time of emergency.
The need for such concentration of power is understandable in the
light of the responsibility with which the legislature is entrusted. The
constitution specifically delegates the following factors of the welfare
of the people to be the concern of the legislature:
1. To insure reasonable wages,
working hours and conditions of
work.
2. To maintain security against
accident, sickness, disablement un-employment
and old age.
3. To give special protection for
working mothers, children, widows,
and orphans.
4. To guarantee the right of
Labor to form unions, bargain col-lectively,
and strike in defense of
their economic rights.
5. To consider the health of the
population a primary duty of the
state, and therefore, to take legis-lative
action to promote better
maternal care and child life care.
Only a cursory comparison be-tween
our form of democracy and
the outline of the Israeli govern.
ment will give some the impression
that their plan of government is a
bit beyond our concept of govern-ment
as we express it in our con,
stitution.
Nevertheless, it appears that the
framers of the consitution have
been responsive to the needs of
man in this modern day with re-spect
to social justice, and have
wisely incorporated their concepts
into a constitution.

Bob was well on his way to an
accountant's degree when an in-structor
in the Chicago business
college, Bob attended, suggested
the Bible as a worthwhile, read-able
Book. Influenced by the Truth
in that Book and later, by the
clear-cut testimonies of the young
people in Roseland Temple Baptist
Church, Bob sought Christ and
found Him as his Savior. .
Later, with the Seabees in the
South Pacific, native Christians did
their part toward enriching Bob's
prayer life and the accountant-to-be
returned from 3 1/2 years of
government service with an earn-est
desire to throw all his energies
into the Lord's work. Christian
journalism became his goal.
Interesting, isn't it, that behind
the Clarion stands an editor who
would have been an accountant if
it hadn't been for God, His Word,
and a group of praying young peo-ple?
Chapel Quotes
Sin we may thing is something
we are "caught at," but God sees
the secrets of the heart.
—Rev. Eric Lindholm
We must have more than a pro-fession—
we must live a life that
reveals the power of Christ in life.
—Dean Omark
Do you know enough of what He
said to enable yourself to conscien-tiously
say "the Lord is my help-er"?
—Rev. Curtis Akenson

'tiaaxv stmt :AJeJcin 041 LuoJA COMPULSORY SPRING TRAINING will start soon for all Bethel
baseball players despite loud cries from isolationists who contended that
such training would lead the college to a baseballistic form of govern-ment.
"To train Bethel men in such tactics," said Professor Liniment, "is
just asking for trouble." He pointed out that certainly no man with this
might and knowledge could resist sliding into innocent bystanders at
the doorway to the coffeeshop in an attempt to beat the ten o'clock
closing time.

Asked if he believed a game was
imminent, Coach Pauls said that
it was hardly likely. "But," he went
on to say, "nobody is certain what
is going on behind Austin's tin-curtain."
He said that building a
well-trained baseball machine is
not an overnight job. "We must
build now, or we shall surely be
caught with our baskstop down,"
he concluded.

Clarion Sports Department to Miss
"Corky" Kortum and her Basket-
/
ba'll Team No. 4 who championed
the Intramural Girls Basketball
League. (In the last Clarion pub-lished,
the announced winners were
Team No. 5 and we, wish all to
take note of this correction). Mem-bers
of the championship team are
Carol Jacobsen, Martha Payne,
Bobbe Lou Cooper, Barbara Kline-felter,
Shirley Daley, Helen Peter-son,
Phylis Nystrom, and Delores

by suppressing Team No. 5, cap-tain

Sports Sketch
On entering the Dorm room of
the subject of this sports sketch
for an interview, one of the first
things your reporter noticed was
a big green kite lying conspicu-ously
in the middle of the bed.
Bobbe Lou Cooper, who "just likes
sports in general" also flies kites!
Bobbe ("or you can call me just
`Bob'") comes from Ludington,
Mich. and is in her first year at
Bethel. Entering enthusiastically
into all the sports her high school
offered, including soccer, tennis,
basketball, volleyball, swimming
and softball, Bobbe was on many
championdhip teams.
Pitching for a city league has oc-cupied
her summers for the last
three years or so, since softball,
as well as basketball and swim-ming,
rate high on her list of
favorite sports.
Third highest in points scored in
the Intramural Basketball Tourna-ment,
Bobbe was a valuable player
to her team. Combining sharp-shooting,
speed and good teamwork,
she helped her team wiz the cham-pionship.

Department is working in conjunc-tion
with the school's Athletic De
partment in putting special em-phasis
on promoting golf. Already
golf matches with Bethany and
Mankato have been scheduled and
other schools will be added soon.
Girls interested are also invited
to attend the meeting as it is hoped
that local competition can be ar-ranged
for the girls as well as the
boys through the intramural pro-gram.

Bethel Considers Dropping Out Of SMJCC
Cagers Will Not Continue To
Vie For SMJCC Championships
The transfer of Bethel sports from Junior College to Senior College
competition will take the form of a more gradual transition rather
than a decisive change. Nothing by the Bethel Policy Committee has yet
been announced regarding an official decision to drop out of the SMJCC
(Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference).
The question of whether or not to continue SMJCC competition
revolves around the fact that some of this year's valuable baseball
players and next year's basketball players would be ineligible if the out-come
of such competition was to count toward conference championship.
SMJCC rules eliminate any player who has engaged in competition in
any sport for three years.

Golfers Are
Urged to Attend
Meeting Monday
Next Monday afternoon at 3:15
in room 205 of the college build-ing
there will be a meeting of all
the members of the student body
who are interested in playing golf
this spring. The purpose of the
meeting is to organize the Bethel
golfers into a group that can be
the starting point for the spring
golf activities. Later, a golf team
will be chosen from this group
which will represent Bethel in the
inter-collegiate co m p e t i o n this
spring.
Coach Edwards will be present
at the meeting to present the plans
of the golf season and also to de-termine
the extent to which these
plans can be fullfilled depending
upon the number of those interest-ed
in golf.

I'm sure that since our "eyes were opened" at the recent Coffee Cup
Game when we viewed the "professional potentialities" in the exhibition
given by our Gymnastic team, we are all going to assume a different
attitude toward their support in becoming a contemporary of our major
sport program. I would like to see this organization receive the support
it deservingly should have in the procurement of the equipment it needs
to carry on it's more extensive activities. I can think of no finer way to
develop body and mind co-ordination than this activity offers and there-fore
I boldly advocate it's advancement.
A word of recognition goes to school carpenter Mr. Bursell who
built the miniature field house which is to be used to encourage the
building prospects of such a project on Bethel campus. Cliff Ander-son
and Danny Bloom also played no small part in adding the finish-ing
touches to it. Plans are begin initiated to put the miniature on
display in the hallway of the Library.
Once again the student body has shown it's enthusiasm to expand
"future Bethel" by sharing in the Field House Fund. I'm very happy to
relate to you that The Field House Committee announces that a total
of $130.00 was taken in at the recent Coffee Cup Game and has been
added to the fund. Slow but sure it grows--=so thanks a lot kids for your
cooperative spirit.
At the annual meeting of the
SMJCC board held last Saturday,
representatives from the various
conference schools expressed to
Coach Edwards their desire to
schedule competition in all major
sports with Bethel for the next
school year regardless of whether
or not the games played will count
towards conference championship.
The attitude expressed seemed to
regard the actual playing of the
events more important than their
counting toward a championship.
Coach Edwards also stated that
undoubtedly the Bethel 1949-50
basketball team will not be play-ing
SMJCC competition for champ-ionship
purpose and also that new
teams from the Minnesota College
Conference will be included in the
schedule wherever possible for the
purpose of becoming acquainted
with teams of that conference.
Football competition is most like-ly
to stay in SMJCC championship
competition for next year. Games
within the conference have already
been scheduled together with some
added non-conference teams.
Bethel could not enter SMJCC
baseball with a championship in
view without eliminating two Indian
star pitchers, 13,ob Sandin and Bud
Eklof, from conference. play. How-ever,
eight conference games have
been scheduled together with four
non-conference games ,and it has
not yet been determined whether
a championship will be sought
after or not.
For this year and undoubtedly
continuing throughout next year,
golf and tennis championship com-petition
will stay within the SMJ-CC,
however, other schools will be
included in the scheduling. A
greater expansion of these two
sports is anticipated.
The future scheduling and ar-ranging
of competion with other
colleges will be done with the slant
toward finally breaking away from
SMJCC championship competition
and entering into the bigger school
competition, Coach Edwards stated.
