MINNESOTA STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING AT BETHEL
Dr. Walter Judd, China, Is Principal Speaker
Forty-six Delegates Represent Nine Schools in Assembly.
With the song, "We've a Story to Tell to the Nations,"
the Student Volunteers of Minnesota opened their 1933
coat 'Tree, held at Bethel February 24-26. Forty-six
deletates representing nine schools attended. Dr. Walter
Judd, medical missionary in China for six years, was the
principal speaker of the assembly. Other speakers on the
program were Dr. G. Arvid Gordh of Bethel; the Rever-end
George D. Strohm of the St. Paul Bible School,
formerly a missionary in the Philippine Islands; the
Reverend David Lovaas, a former missionary to Madagas-car;
and the Reverend Paul Grove of the Fremont Meth-odist
church, St. Paul.
Bethel Celebrates
Founders' Day
Impressive Program Presented
The rich spiritual heritage of
Bethel, as constituted by the ideals
of those who launched her upon her
prosperous, though sometimes stormy
voyage, was impressed upon the
guests at the Founder's Day program
held in the Academy chapel, Monday
evening, February 20.
Dr. Hagstrom spoke of the per-sonality
and spirit of Dr. J. Alexis
Edgren about which the ideals of
Bethel took shape. A former grad-uate,
Rev. Eric N. Lindholm, sounded
the challenge of the spiritual ideals
for which Bethel still strives. In the
absence of Dr. Earle V. Pierce, Rev.
R. Wilbur Babcock sketched very ably
and inspiringly the influence of Bethel
among the Baptists in our country.
Musical numbers were furnished by
Professor George Hultgren as soloist
and by the Bethel Male chorus. An
hour of fellowship and refreshment
followed the interesting program.
New Music, Journalism
Groups Organized
Extra-Curricular Interest Grow-ing,
Added Clubs Indicate
To the already long and varied list
of interest groups at Bethel have been
added three more, equally useful and
interesting, namely the Journalism
group, the Girls' Glee Club in the
Academy and Junior College, and the
Girls' Chorus in the Bible and Mis-sionary
Training school.
The Journalism group, for the bene-fit
of those students who are inter-ested
in Journalism and a study of
the subject, was organized Tuesday,
February 14. A program committee
was elected to plan the discussion
meetings for the rest of the semester.
Miss Esther Sabel spoke briefly on
the general subject of High School
journalism, emphasizing the purpose
and style of the school newspaper. At
the second meeting, held yesterday
morning, "News and where to get it"
was the topic of the discussion led by
Laura Moss.
As a result of the growth of music
interest in the Academy the Girls'
Glee Club was organized. Miss Ethel
Paleen has been chosen director of
the club; Isabelle Moors, president;
and Jane Ewald, librarian. Twelve
girls comprise the present member-ship.
In the Bible and Missionary Train-ing
school, the Girls' Chorus meets for
fifteen minutes of music during the
lunch hour on Fridays. Preparation
for Daily Vacation Bible School work,
as well as present enjoyment and
training, is the purpose of the group.
HUMOR DISCUSSED IN
OPENING PROGRAM OF
COLLEGE CLUB
"Humor serves a real purpose in
life, of which fact many do not seem
to be aware," declared Sam Wessman,
new president of the College Club, in
his inaugural address Monday eve-ning,
February 13.
"Good humor never embarrasses
anyone," and, "In the good joke the
point should be in the sphere of every-one's
comprehension", were other
statements made during the talk.
The vice president, Dave Guston,
presided at the opening meeting. As
chairman of the program committee,
he announces that some very good
programs are being planned for corn-ing
meetings.
Christ's words,
Academy Juniors Entcrtaincd
in Home of Class Advisor
Invasion of Uninvited Guests
Adds to Fun
"We have a most wonderful ad-viser;
she's always doing something
nice for us," say the Academy Juniors.
Saturday evening, February 18, their
adviser, Miss Ethel Paleen, gave a
party in her home for her class.
"It certainly was a grand party!—
that is, until four Seniors (shall we
call them babies) crashed in on us,"
reports one of the girls who was pres-ent.
"Oh, they didn't exactly spoil
our party, but we have all agreed that
it was not the most courteous thing
to do." Deep-dyed plots for ven-geance
are being planned by the
Juniors.
Aside from the interruption, the
evening was pleasantly spent working
jig-saw puzzles. "I don't mind sitting
up late, (or early) studying( ?); but
these jig-saw puzzles get me," re-marked
one of the young men, looking
up from a puzzle that had "got" him.
A delicious lunch was served and
the group disbanded, each member
feeling that their adviser was the best
in the whole school.
First Impressions?
—Don't Trust 'Em!
"An 'A' in the examination! What
a surprise, and what a worth while
reward for hours of hard work!" Such
were the thoughts of an academy
student when she received her cor-rected
paper.
But first impressions do not always
last. The "A" found in the corner
of the page proved to be only the
initial of her last name; the actual
grade has not been made public.

STRANGE SUBJECTS
DISCUSSED BY NEW
SOCIOLOGY CLASS
"Rabbits and Easter Eggs" is one
of the seemingly strange subjects that
have recently occupied the discussions
in the college sociology class. Soci-ology
was taught last year by Dean
Danielson, who because of his travels
in the financial interests of the school
has been succeeded this year by Ray-mond
V. Bowers of the University of
Minnesota. Mr. Bowers also teaches
college economics.
The course promises to be a most
interesting one, as the members of the
class have already discovered. Soci-ology
is the study of man and his
culture. There are three assumptions
upon which the course is based: first,
that man behaves (believe it or not);
second, that he behaves differently in
seclusion from the way he behaves in
a group; third, that this behavior can
be studied.
It is very essential that young men
and women preparing for social serv-ice
such as the ministry and mission-ary
work should be thoroughly fami-liar
with the civilization and habits
of men the world over, since their
fields include the whole world.
Bethel Debators Lose First
Dicision Tilt to Concordia
Berglund and Sorley Present Strong
Defensive Argument in First Meet
The much-discussed question of the
cancellation of inter-allied war debts
is the subject for debate in the Junior
College this year. The affirmative
team composed of Bud Berglund and
Francis Sorley, had a trial debate on
Wednesday afternoon, February 15,
and the first decision debate on Fri-day
evening, February 17. Although
the negative side won, yet the Bethel
team delivered a splendid presenta-tion
of their side of the argument, and
gives promise of being hard to defeat
in the future.
The negative team, Henning Land-strom
and Donald Peterson, showed
up well in a trial debate with Macales-ter
College here on Friday morning,
February 24.
Fund Totals 51110.50
Last Day of Drive
Students, Stirred by Generous Gift of
Dr. Hagstrom, Contribute Liberally
A large gift from Dr. Hagstrom in
memory of his wife gave impetus to
the loyalty movement which had
seemed dormant for many days.
At three o'clock the day before the
end of the drive, February 15, the
fund stood at 8676. Then came Dr.
Hagstrom's pledge of $150, raising
the total to 8826. The committee and
others who were interested, spurred
on by this encouragement, began at
once to work, and before chapel period
the next day, only $65 was lacking to
bring the fund to the $1000 goal.
Robert Klingberg, chairman of the
committee, presented the matter to
the united student body during the
chapel period, making a final appeal.
"Let's put this across for Mrs. Hag-strom's
sake," he said.
Excitement stirred the group as
pledge cards were distributed, and an
expectant hush settled down while the
amounts were being totaled. Although
every one expected that the goal
would be reached, no one was pre-pared
for the announcement that over
$175 had been pledged, bringing the
total up to $1110.50.
At present $1170 has been pledged,
and it is expected that when all the
Loyalty banks are returned that the
amount will be more than $1200. Of
this amount about $375 in cash has
already been received.
Success Attributed to Prayer
"Well, I'm not surprised", one of
the students said in effect when some-one
remarked on the unexpected out-come,
"prayer groups have met every
day to bring this matter before our
God—and He has brought it to pass."
Those who were connected with the
movement felt that this alone ex-plained
its remarkable success.
Dormitory Matron Gains Honors
Sacrifice on the part of a great
number of Bethel friends have made
possible the attainment of the goal.
One five dollar pledge came from a
former student who is a patient in a
tuberculosis sanitarium. An o t her
pledge came from a graduate who is
working his way through school in
the East. To Gerda Okerman, pre-ceptress
in the girls' dormitory, goes
the honor of having secured seven-teen
pledges, by far the largest num-ber
brought in by any one person.
Religious Organizations
Anticipate Merger
Comprehensive Plan to Be
Presented to Students
Feeling the need for a more inte-grated
system of student religious
work, a committee composed of Ru-dolph
Skanse, Don Bersell, Grace
Cooper, Francis Sorley, Miss Esther
Sabel, and C. E. Carlson has worked
out a comprehensive plan for a new
organization covering the work now
carried on by the Ministerial Students,
the Missionary Band, and the Student
Volunteers.
It is proposed that the activities be
divided into four groups: prayer, Bible
study, missions, and gospel team
work. Student directors of these four
groups, in company with four student
officers, will form a cabinet which will
oversee the entire organization.
Another recommendation is that
five or six prayer bands be organized
to meet at different times during the
day in place of the prayer meetings as
now held. Three or four gospel teams
would cover the work now done by
the Ministerial students. The Student
volunteers would remain a separate
organization under the mission study
groups.
Who's Who
Prof. A. J. Wingblade
Principal A. J. Wingblade was born
in Marshall County, Kansas, and re-ceived
his early training in schools
in that state. He was graduated from
William Jewell College in Liberty,
Missouri, with an A. B. degree, later
receiving his A. M. from the same
college. He has also studied at the
University of Chicago and the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.
Mr. Wingblade, who joined the
teaching staff of Bethel Academy in
1907, has been teaching at Bethel
longer than any one else on the
present staff. His interest in Chris-tian
service includes not only the
school, but the church and denomina-tional
work as well. For twenty-one
years he has served as superintendent
of the Elim Sunday school in Minne-apolis,
which office he stills holds.
To the alumni, Mr. Wingblade and
Bethel are almost synonymous terms.
Mr. Wingblade has known personally
every student who has come and gone
in Bethel's halls during the past
twenty-five years. His advice and
counsel, his life of unselfish service
have been a benediction to many. "To
have known one good man helps our
faith in God, in ourselves, and in each
other more than many sermons."
"LIKE" VS. "AS"
Professor Phelps writes in Scrib-ner's
on the common misuse of "like"
for "as." A poem on this subject ap-peared
in the Chicago Herald Ex-aminer.
I love you like fishes love water,
I trail you like cats trail a rat,
I want you like soldiers want slaugh-ter,
I need you like Ruth needs a bat.
No word is mishandled like "like" is
In speech and in verse and in song,
And each of these samples you strike
is
Completely and totally wrong.
I don't often hammer at grammar,
Or cavil at people's mistakes,
But constant abusage of "like" is a
usage
Which causes me numerous aches.
I'm angry by thunder, to find it's a
blunder
Like pretty near everyone makes.
Stevenson on Courtesy
How curiously we are built up into
our false positions! The other day,
having toothache and the black dog
on my back generally, I was rude to
one of the servants at the dinner
table. Nothing, of course, can be
more disgusting than for a man to
speak harshly to a young woman who
will lose her place if she speaks back
to him, and of course I determined to
apologize. Well, do you know, it was
perhaps four days before I found
courage enough, and I felt as red and
ashamed as could be. Why? Be-cause
I had been rude ? Not a bit of
it; because I was doing a thing that
would be called ridiculous in thus
apologizing. I did not know I had
so much respect of middle-class no-tions
before; this is my right hand
which I must cut off. Hold the arm,
please; once—twice — thrice; the of-fensive
member is amputated; let us
hope I shall never be such a cad any
more as to be ashamed of being a
gentleman. (Extract from a letter.)

Changing the Spots
Can we discern the features of the child in the
grown-up ? Not always easily. But if we know
that he is the same, we can usually discover much
likeness. Can we trace the character and disposi-tion
of the boy in the man ? Usually most cer-tainly.
We were privileged recently to glance over
records with public school teachers, records which
described the characteristics of certain children
over a period of years. It was most interesting
to note, and to have confirmed by the teacher, that
the boy who in kindergarten and in early years
was thoughtless, careless, boisterous, and self-assertive,
maintained much the same character-istics
later. The child determines pretty largely
the growing boy, and "the boy is father to the
man."
Shall we say, then, that the thoughtless and
selfish child is doomed ever to be thoughtless and
selfish ? Can nothing be done about it ? Yes,
much.
A number of years ago we had a student at
Bethel who was quite careless in a certain respect.
He was wisely but pointedly cautioned about it.
He took it to heart. He wrote down in black and
white, "I have made a resolution." He kept it.
Today he is a leader in his denomination.
We have talked much of efficiency experts.
Happy is that man who can be his own efficiency
expert ; who can go into his own life and character
with a thorough and impartial survey, and come
out with a clear report of the true status, of the
short-comings and the needs ; then make a resolu-tion
of repentance and determination, and, by the
grace of a mighty God, carry that out ! Then he
can say with Oliver in AS YOU LIKE IT, " 'Twas
I ; but 'tis not I." That way victory lies.
Let's Hear What You Think
How easy it is to get into a rut ! This very
human trait has been exemplified in our "Much
Ado" column. Instead of being a medium of ex-pression
of real thought and opinion it has tended
to become merely an opportunity fore. few in-dividuals
to point out minor faults in our school
routine. We have appreciated every expression
of opinion which we have received so far, but we
hope that this column will grow to include a wider
scope of school life.
The Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
A book which came out some time ago, namely
WHAT BOOKS TO READ AND HOW TO READ
by David Pryde (Funk and Wagnalls ew
York), can be of inestimable value to the
Co.,
Audent
who really desires to get an education. Francis
Halsey has written an introduction which makes the
thoughtful reader's heart to glow with appreciation
of the great books of the centuries. Consider the
opportunity of having about us a circle of the wisest
and the greatest of earth, at our beck and call, ready
to pour out the secrets of their inmost hearts.
Here are some of the splendid suggestions for
proper reading: Read the book that interests you;
learn something about the author first; read the
preface carefully; survey the table of contents; give
your whole attention to your reading; note the most
valuable passages; summarize the facts in your own
words; apply the results to your every day duties.
The book gives very helpful advice on how to
read fiction, biography, history, poetry, and drama.
In the reading of fiction something of rest can be
found. When Carlyle's laborious French Revolution
had been accidently burned, he read Marryat's novels
for three weeks. What is the test for subjects of
biography ? Only the sympathetic man is truly
great. Thus the author continues.
Then there follows a chapter on mental phil-osophy
or self-education. Look within; look about
you; look upward. Develop a feeling for fellow man
and for God. Reverent childlike wonder is the
mother of knowledge. Throw away your conceit
and be humble. Genius is nothing else than the
power of seeing wonders in common things.
In the appendix are listed the best books dealing
with the various branches of literature. Here is a
program of reading for the serious student—highly
profitable. The book is on the reserve shelf.
Much Ado .. .
"Help Wanted"
In the last issue of the Clarion "How About It?"
suggested having a box where students may place any
opinions or ideas they may wish to express. Such a box
has been placed on the girls' mail box in the Academy
Building. The Clarion staff wants to make this paper
what you would like to have it, and would appreciate and
make use of any well-founded criticisms and suggestions
you may have to offer. We are doing everything in our
power to make the Clarion truly yours, and we ask for
your cooperation.

Dear and Beloved Boarders: (Seniors)
You have at last bitten the Hands that feed you.
Those Seniors that are in doubt ask a Junior—he can tell
you! As a result of the party that was crashed, the
Seniors will be given Meat Balls instead of TURKEY; and
maybe less at the JUNIOR-SENIOR DINNER.
Yours Truly,
A Junior.
Funeral in Order?
What's the matter with the Alpha Beta Society? So
far this year, this literary society, supposed to hold a
meeting every other week, has given a custume party and
an hilarious sleigh ride. Indifference and neglect of duty
are poisons that slowly but surely deaden school spirit
and cultural growth. We hope this group will wake up
and start functioning before Alpha Beta dies entirely.

Think On These Things
By Esther Sabel
"Ye Also Helping Together"
Some months ago the LITERARY DIGEST re-counted
a news story from Canada about a little boy who
had been lost, as I remember the story, in a large grain
field. Neighbors and friends of the family hunted for
.several days, but failed to find any trace of the little
fellow. Finally, someone suggested that they all join
hands and push their way through the field together. It
was not long before they had found the little body. If
only they had thought sooner of joining hands they might
have saved the child's life. All were working earnestly,
feverishly, but to no avail until they worked together.
Apply that to our work at Bethel, in our churches,
in our homes. We may work ever so zealously and en-thusiastically,
but as long as each works merely for him-self
, little is ever accomplished. It is when we join hands,
and tug away together that our zeal shows results. If we
don't pull together, we pull apart. But "in union there
is strength."
"United waiting upon God brought Pentecost",
says someone. Certainly a unity of heart and effort lay
hack of the early successes of the church of Jesus Christ.
They were all of "one mind'', and "with one accord"
they assembled together. And "helping together'', they
wrought a mighty work in the name of the Lord.
"SPORT SLANTS"
By A. J. Boylan
Bethel will have a baseball team
entered in the Southern Minnesota
J. C. League this year. It is hoped
that Bethel, with all its players, will
be the league-leaders.
The Table No. I "All Stars" de-feated
the Table No. II "Flyers" in a
three game volley-ball tournament,
which was held recently in the Sem-inary
gym. Table No. I winning two
of the three games played, and Table
No. II taking the razzing.
Walter "Big Boy" Watkin, captain
of Table No. II, was the star player
for the "All Stars", with Cliff. "Slim"
Lindor giving him a lot of competi-tion
as he streaked( ?) across the
floor.
Players on Table No. I were Sammy
Wessman, Henry Heartberg, Jack An-derson,
Budd Berglund, and Vern
"Sleep" Wessman. Table No. II was
represented by Walter "Big Boy"
Watkin, Cliff. "Slim" Lindor, "Dickie"
Dickau, and Floyd "Tiny" Bergfalk.
Track and tennis are two sports
that probably will be played at Bethel
this spring, although no definite ac-tion
has been taken as yet as to
whether Bethel will be represented in
the Conference league.
The game Saturday evening was
delayed about an hour because several
of the visiting team's players, who
were from out-of-town, lost their way.
Attention Girls—It has been sug-gested
to us that the Stick and Chat-ter
Club be re-organized under the
able supervision of the girl's gym in-structor.
We have been informed that
you could learn many new kinds of
fancy work and knitting in this way.

BETHEL ACADEMY 16-15
St. Paul Rivals Stage Thrilling
Conference Tilt
Paced by some brilliant shooting
and hounded by some desperate
Bethelites, Breck nosed out the home
quint 16-15 in a spectacular basketball
battle fought out a week ago Friday
afternoon on the Bethel floor.
After Bethel had rallied to hold an
8-7 advantage at the intermission,
Breck went ahead to start the second
half on two field goals by Gurney and
a gift shot by Strupp.
With less than two minutes to play,
Bob Wallin, the brilliant spark of the
game, scored a field goal which
brought Bethel within one point of
Breck. By that time the fans were
wild with enthusiasm, and with only
seconds to go, both Tasker and Wallin
took shots, with an opportunity to
win the game, but both missed their
chance.

FAST, CLEAN GAME PLAYED
Bethel Junior College staged a
strong drive Saturday night to win
its second victory of the Southern
Minnesota Junior College Conference
basketball season, a 19 to 12 triumph
over Dr. Martin Luther Junior College
of New Ulm.
Bethel started the scoring and had
amassed four points before the Luth-erites
scored. The boys from Luther
had their passing working in the first
half, being only four points behind
Bethel at the half.
Both teams found the going fast
and played at top speed, but neither
team made many fouls. Koch and
Widen, Bethel's two flashing guards,
were tied for high point honors with
six points each. Earl Anderson, for-ward
for Bethel, seemed to get a
rough deal two or three times during
the game, but despite this he played
a fast, accurate game.

Bethel Jr. College Scores Victory
People that think they are
having hard luck ought to look
at the Bethel hockey team and
feel happy again. The hockey
team first spent time and money
to construct a rink at Bethel.
After flooding it three times the
city refused to flood it again al-though
a permit had been ob-tained.
Then after practicing
at Como and getting into condi-tion,
the city closed the rinks
the day before the first game,
with St. Paul Luther College
being the opponents, was sched-uled
to be played.

Congo logs to Concordia

Tanquist, Bethel's High Point
Man
Bethel lost the most colorful game
of the season to Concordia 35-28 Tues-day
night, February 21. The struggle
was rough and close throughout, and
climaxed with four Bethel men, Widen,
Wallin, Johnson, and Koch, and three
Concordia players going out on per-sonal
fouls. The game started evenly

Dr. Judd Speaks Saturday and
Sunday
"Following Christ in China" was
the theme of Dr. Judd's address Satur-day
evening, presenting the Chinese
situation religiously, economically,
and politically in its relationship to
the rest of the world.
At the closing session of the Con-ference,
Sunday afternoon, Dr. Judd
spoke on the subject "What can we
do here and now." He emphasized the
importance of physical, intellectual,
social, and spiritual preparation for
service on the foreign mission fields.
"Liveableness-with," he said, "is one
of the most important of the social
requisites in foreign service."
"A mastery of the English Bible,
an overwhelming sense of his mes-sage,
fasting, and prayer are indis-pensable
to the missionary," and "It
is not so much a question of whether
we have enough to go, but whether
we have enough to give," he continued
in a discussion of the missionary's
fitness for the field.
Organization Elects Officers
The business session of the Con-ference
was held Saturday morning,
followed by the Student Volunteer
Luncheon. Officers elected were:
Sigvald -Fauske of St. Olaf College,
president; Stuart Patterson, Macales-ter,
vice president; Russell Olson,
Luther Seminary, corresponding secre-tary;
Dorothy Olson, Luther Bible In-stitute,
recording secretary; and Al-bert
Monseth, Augsberg Seminary,
treasurer.

What's in a Name?
Nyhagen
This name means "new garden" and
was taken from a farm in Norway
where Leonore's grandfather lived.
The original name was Gilbertson.
Skanse
"Skanse" as a surname was adopted
by a Johnson family who found many
other families by that name in the
community in which they settled when
they came to America. Their home
in Sweden was located at the foot of
a hill called "Skansen." Hence the
name "Skanse."

whenever he has caught somebody
else, and when the man or boy does
not want to go they kick him and
treat him rough until he walks gently.
Then they scold him or swear at him.

but the short one is almost always
angry.
