Renaissance Festiva Begins
Varied Programs
To Be Presented
The Festival of Renaissance Arts
beginning this Friday evening is
a newcomer this year to Bethel's
calendar of student - sponsored
events. A series of four programs,
continuing through Tuesday night,
will include a lecture, a film, a reci-tal,
and a program in which stu-dents
participate.
The Festival has been designed
to give students an interest in the
art, drama, and music of this
creative period during
which Shakespeare
wrote. Students from colleges and
universities from the Twin Cities
area have been invited to attend
the events of this week, which will
mark the high point in the year at
Bethel culturally.
Renaissance art will be the sub-ject
of a lecture by Dr. Lorenz
Eitner, University professor of art
history, at the opening session Fri-day
evening. The program will be
held in the Bodien residence lounge,
beginning at 8:30. A reception will
follow the lecture, lunch being
served in the lounge.
Maurice Evans' film production
of Shakespeare's "Richard II" will
be shown in the chapel Saturday
evening, beginning at 8:30. Tele-vision
viewers may recall seeing
this production on the
Hallmark Playhouse a few seasons
ago.

Win 8 Debates
Marge Peterson and Betty Matt-son
posted the most impressive
record of any Bethel debate team
this year as they won eight straight
debates in the women's division of
the northwest debate tournament
last Thursday, Friday, and Satur-day
at Macalester college. They
were the only team to go undefeat-ed
through the preliminary rounds.
However, they were defeated in
the seminfinals by a University of
Nebraska team that eventually
won the tournament.
In the men's division, Donn Goss
and Chuck Paton captured half of
their debates while Fred Schindler
and Bruce Richardson failed to
score a victory.
Concidered the most important
meet of the season, this northwest
tourney is a kind of tune-up event
for the national debate tourna-ments,
including the Phi Kappa
Delta national meet.
There were four rounds of de-bate
on Thursday and four on Fri-day,
with the finals on Saturday
morning.
David Adeney, foreign mis-sions
secretary for the Inter-
Varsity Christian Fellowship,
will speak in the seminary
chapel on Thursday, March 15,
at 7 p.m.
Scholarship
Program
Announced
A number of new scholarships,
assistantships, and grant-in-aid for
students showing scholastic ability
have recently been added to those
already offered by the college.
These scholarships will be awarded
at the fall convocation next year at
the opening of the school year.
A scholarship granting full tui-tion
for the next year will be
awarded to juniors and seniors
(continued on page 4)
College Choir
On Tour East
At the furthest point east on
their annual tour, the college choir
is singing tonight at the Elim
church of Detroit, Michigan. The
42-member group left Wednesday,
February 29 (right after finals),
giving its opening concert at La
Crosse, Wisconsin that evening.
Seven concerts remain on the
agenda of the tour, to be sung in
churches in Michigan, Illinois, and
Iowa.
Creator of "Peanuts"
To Speak, Draw Here
Bethel will be host to a number of famous kids a week from this
Friday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. "Peanuts" and his gang—Charlie Brown,
Lucy, Schroeder (with his piano), and Snoopy the dog will be appearing
in the college chapel, along with Charles M. Schulz, their creator, in a
special CLARION-sponsored meeting.
Mr. Schulz, an active Christian layman, will relate how "Peanuts"
has come into its present place of drawing-board prestige and popularity
from an obscure beginning, and of how the message of Christianity
relates itself to cartooning.
A life-long resident of the Twin
Cities, Mr. Schulz has been "draw-ing
all his life." He received his
training through a correspondence
course from Art Instruction, Inc.,
of Minneapolis, where he has been
serving as an instructor in car-tooning
and illustrating since the
war.
He started his professional car-tooning
by drawing a weekly panel
for the Sunday Pioneer Press en-titled
"Little Folk," which ran for
two years. During this time, he
also sold "gag" cartoons to the
Saturday Evening Post. "Peanuts"
was started in 1950 and has been
handled since that time by the
United Feature Syndicate. It is
currently appearing in some 175
newspapers in the United States
(continued on page 2)
Noted Lutist
Has Recital
Suzanne Bloch will make her
first appearance in the Twin Cities
at a recital here next Monday
evening. This, the highlight of
Bethel's Festival of Renaissance
Arts, will be held in the, chapel,
beginning at 8:30.
For many years Miss Bloch, who
has trained lutenists in the East,
has been the principal concert per-former
in America at this instru-ment.
She has adapted a charming
voice as an ensemble instrument to
use to her own lute accompaniment
for performance of the literature
of lute songs which once marked
so high a point in musical culture.
She is also a competent performer
on the virginals, an early keyboard
instrument, and on the recorder.
Daughter of composer Ernest
Bloch, Suzanne is the only
concert artist accompanying her-self
on the authentic 19-stringed
instrument in the rendition of
Medieval, Renaissance, and Eliza-bethan
songs.
Prospective
Student Days
March 26-28
Many high school students from
all parts of the country will re-ceive
their first tastes of college
life when they arrive here on cam-pus
for "Prospective Student's
Days," March 26, 27, and 28.
Letters of application have been
sent out to more than 600 junior
and senior high school students,
whose names were received from
students, pastors, and other friends.
Approximately 200 students are
expected to visit Bethel for this
activity.
When Bethel plays host to these
many visiting students, it will be
keeping a six-year tradition on the
campus. This plan originated with
students of the college in 1948,
and ever since then all the plans
have been carried out under the
management of students.
Glenn Ogren, as president of the
Student Senate, is the "over-all"
supervisor this year, working with
a number of committees who are
making plans for the various acti-vities
of the special event.
Oratorio Choir
Organizes
An oratorio choir in which any
student who wishes to may sing,
will present. Brahm's "Requiem"
on May 13 in the fieldhouse. The
first rehearsal will be Monday,
March 19, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in
the chapel, with subsequent re-hearsals
every Monday night at
the same time.
Mr. Bert Anderson will direct the
choir and Miss Mildred Bisgrove
will accompany on the organ.

Religion on Campus
(Guest editoriau from the So. Illinois Univ. Egyptian)
(ACP)—The question of religion on campus has always been a
touchy and controversial one. In answer to claims that students may
lose their religion when they attend college, Southern Illinois Univer-sity's
Egyptian recently published this editorial:
Some students are often warned by their parents and well-meaning
friends that they should be careful that they do not lose their religion
on a state university campus. These people speak of losing religion as
though it were a textbook or a pencil that might be dropped on the
campus.
It is impossible for a student to lose his religion on the campus of
Southern Illinois University. If, because of the new atmosphere, a
student feels that something has been lost it is well to consider what
it was that was lost. Perhaps it was not religion at all, but some childish
superstition that should have been dropped long ago. Our religious edu-cation
seldom keeps up with our secular education and we seem to
reach physical, intellectual and social maturity long before we reach
religious maturity. University students are often criticized by their
parents and by religious leaders for losing the faith of their fathers. It
should be pointed out to these people that religion and faith can not be
inherited and a second hand religion is worse than none. The student
who loses his father or mother's religion is usually in the process of
finding his own.
Religion can be found on this campus as easily as it can be found
on the campus of a church-related school. Religion is the expression
of an attitude toward what the individual regards as important in
life. Here on this campus a student will find many different expressions
of religion. There are no denomination restrictions here and a student
can believe by the evidence before him rather than by the creedal dicta-torship
of some ecclesiastical body. Religion is as indigenous to the
intellectual life of the campus as is democracy or the belief in scientific
procedure. Religious facts, issues and implications are dealt with in
every class where they arise naturally. Of course, there are some stu-dents
and professors who avoid discussion of religion like prissy old
maids avoid mention of sex; but most of the students and the faculty
feel free to discuss religion. The constitutional separation between
Church and State has been misunderstood as a separation between
religion and education. This is one of the social tragedies of our time.
Education and religion are inseparable; both can be found on this cam-pus
if a person will remember the words of St. Paul: "When I was a
child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child;
but when I became a man I put away childish things."

Bethel's Battling Blowers
Bethel's battling blowers, sometimes called the dauntless debaters,
although they didn't cop the Northwest championship this week-end, are
back with a lot of stories to tell about their escapades.
This isn't STRETCHING the story any to say that a typical debate
trip starts by SHRINKING the luggage to get it into STRETCH Rich-ardson's
SHRUNKEN Nash. After struggling to get the trunk door
closed, and getting settled in the car—which they say is even more
difficult, the battle is half won, and they're off! Soon after the trip is
begun a hungry voice might be heard from the back seat of either of
the two cars that usually go on these trips, "Hey, coach—when do we
eat ?" It's a difficult decision to judge who eats the most, but Jack
Tierney seems to have come out on top—at least at one breakfast, when
he had an order of wheat-cakes, eggs and bacon, toast, juice, and milk!
Chuck Paton and Betty Mattson—renamed Vesuvius Chuck and
Vesuvius Betty—seem to have a little trouble at their meals. It seems
as though any time a good joke is being told, they happen to be drinking
a glass of milk. And then the fun begins! Speaking of fun, the girls,
Marge Peterson, Betty Mattson, Lois Larson, and Marie Magnuson
decided to have a little fun one night at a meet down in Mankato. They
were having carameled apples, and thought that Coach Lee Kingsley
should have one too. To surprise him, they hung one on his hotel room
door. What a surprise it was in the morning—to the girls, when they
found out that they had hung it on the wrong door!
When the team finally gets down to the serious ( ? ) business of
debating, they seem to have their fun there too. Jim MacFadyen with
his one single piece of imposing evidence written on a pink slip of paper
(it seems these Scotchmen can't afford to have more evidence); Betty
Mattson using a negative point to prove an affirmative case; Donn Goss
making up authenticated evidence—these make up the escapades of
our debonair debaters.
Correction—In an article "Vital
Statistics" in the February 14 is-sue
of the CLARION, it was stated,
"utilities cost $1,000 a year and
fuel comes to a grand total of
$5,500 a year." This should be cor-rected
to read as follows: The cost
of utilities to the school is $1,000
per month, while the fuel runs up
a $5,500 bill monthly.

Dear Editor:
A missive to prospective convo-cation
orators:
In promulgating your esoteric
cogitations, or articulating your
superficial sentimentalities and
amicable, philosophical, or psych-ological
observations, beware of
platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational commun-ications
possess a clarified concise-ness,
a compacted comprehensible-ness,
coalescent consistency, and
a concatenated cogency. Eschew all
conglomerations of flatulent gar-rulity,
jejune babblement, and as-inine
affectations. Let your extem-poraneous
descantings and unpre-meditated
expatiations have intel-ligibility
and veracious vivacity,
without rodomontade or thrasoni-cal
bombast. Sedulously avoid all
polysyllabic profundity, pompous
prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ven-triloquial
verbosity, and vanlioqu-ent
vapidity. Shun double enten-dres,
prurient jocosity, and pesti-ferous
profanity, obscure or ap-parent.
Sincerely,
J. R. C., a student with
fatigued auditory

From Now On
Well, I took my finals last week. But this quarter it will be different.
You see, I have plans.
Since I am a person of decidedly weak will power—it's been implied
that I have none at all—certain steps must be taken to make sure I
study.
First of all, I'm going to make sure that all the people who absently
wander in and out of my room do it quietly. All conversations will hence-forth
be on a high spiritual plans and low noise level. Nothing but squeak-less
crepe soles will be allowed. Typewriters will be completely and
irrevocably banished, and I will not tolerate the maddening scratching
of pencils and pens across horrible resistant paper, nor the schlustsch,
schlustsch of pages in books being turned and turned and turned and
turned! (It's driving me mad.)
The walls will be sound-proofed with calendars and old unused
textbooks and unpaid bills and worn-out roommates, and one-way glass
will be inserted in the windows. To keep everyone on the proper afore-mentioned
plane, perhaps the windows should be stained glass, with
appropriate pictures like cartoons from the Post, or some of VIP's
cleverer ones. These will keep persons who enter preoccupied and they
will then not be so prone to bother me in my intense studies.
My radio will have to go. I realize it is the source of great inspira-tion
and comfort, but one must be firm, mustn't one ? "Ma Perkins" will
have to wend her inimitable way through trials and tribulations by the
carload without me, and "Life Can Be Beautiful" will have to continue
alone proving that it can't be. "The Lone Ranger" will have to swim the
roaring torrent with only the accompaniment of William Tell. "Gun-smoke"
will have to do it alone. One must be firm.
I'm not sure what to do with my roommate. He seems to think,
ridiculously, that he has rights, too. It promises to be a touchy problem.
He even goes to the extreme of criticizing by preparations for study.
A thoroughly unschooled chap.
The Rook cards and the Scrabble I'll hide deep in my desk drawer.
They were the worst offenders. They bled me white. I'll never be the
same again.
And books. Horrors! Boccaccio and Browning and Doyle and Chekhov
and Roger Price and Hemingway must go. No more pleasure reading for
me. No more crossword puzzles, no more ping-pong or dates, no more
late night feasts. I've cancelled my subscription to the "Americia
Astrologer," "Astrologer's Weekly," "The Weekly Astrologer," and "My
Stars!" I've cornered the world No-Doze market and this quarter I will
study or else!
Or else I will not.
PEANUTS (from page 1)
and 10 foreign countries. It is seen
locally in the Minneapolis Evening
Star.
The inspiration for "Peanuts" is
Mr. Schulz' three children who, he
says, are "perfectly average." Both
Mr. and Mrs. Schulz agree that
the inspiration is never direct, but
is always based on some small, usu-ally
unnoticed, incidents.
Mr. Schulz is a member of the
First Church of God (Anderson,
Ind.) in Minneapolis and formerly
lived and claimed church member-ship
in the St. Paul area. " 'Pea-nuts',"
he says, "exerts a passive
rather than an active testimony."
He illustrates this by telling of a
character named "Pigpen" who ap-pears
occasionally in the strip.
In one daily installment, "Pig-pen"
was at his usual filthy self,
ragged, dirty clothes and dirty
face and hands. The first panel
shows Lucy laughing at "Pigpen,"
saying "HA HA! ! You're dirty!"
This is repeated by "Peanuts" in
the second panel and by Charlie
Brown in the third panel, with
"Pigpen" getting more and more
tearful. Finally, in the last panel,
"Pigpen" turns to leave and shouts
"But I got clean thoughts!!"
So — from "Pigpen," "Peanuts,"
and all the rest, reserve Friday
evening, March 16, at 7:30 for one
of the most interesting events of
the year. Tickets will be on sale
at the door and in the dining hall
for $.25 each and $.35 per couple.
The CLARION would like to
extend to Miss Effie Nelson
wishes for a speedy recovery.
Miss Nelson, Dean of Women,
underwent surgery February 27.
She is still at Midway hospital
but is successfully recovering.
Sophomore Testing
Program To Start
For the first ttime in its history,
Bethel college will be participating
in the National College Sophomore
Testing Program which is con-ducted
annually by the Coopera-tive
'rest Division of the Educa-ticnal
Testing Service. Included in
the test battery are tests in Eng-lish,
general culture, and contem-porary
affairs. The tests will in-volve
no requirement of study pre-paration
in advance.
The purpose of the program is to
offer objective tests in the var-ious
fields which will provide a
means for counseling and guiding
students as they plan their years
of specialization. The evidence of
strengths and weaknesses provided
by the tests will give much of the
information necessary for a stu-dent's
self-appraisal. From the
standpoint of the college the evalu-ation
will help the college to know
how well it is achieving its objec-tives
and maintaining its academic
standards.
The tests will be administered to
all sophomores who will be excused
from their classes. The testing
dates will be March 13th and 14th
and further announcements will be
made as to the specific testing
periods.

64 to 61. Having the Sioux Falls game cancelled because of bad weather

Royals Win Season's Final
Bemidji State Teachers college 77-
72. Under the direction of head-coach
Del Ray Peterson and as-sistant
coach Gerald Healy the boys
began operating as a unit. On Feb-ruary
7 they ran over Luther 78-52
and followed 4 days later with a
9-71 victory over Northern Michi-gan.
On February 13 they were
beaten by St. Cloud and then in
front of over 1,000 cheering fans
they soundly defeated Northwest-ern
college 78 to 66 in the annual
Founder's Week contest. Two days
later they downed Itasca 80-74.
They were then beaten by River
Falls and on February 25 played
their final game of the season
against Valley City. It was a tense
and exciting game from the start
which ended with Bethel on top
68-67.
The Royals scored 1550 points to
1538 points by their opponents.
Leading Bethel cagers in a major
portion of the points were co-cap-tains
Rekstad and Conrad. Howie
Rekstad playing the pivot position,
threw in 376 points in 21 games
for a 17.9 average. Bill Conrad,
at the guard slot was close behind
most of his 354 points with his
deadly set shot and his jump shot
from around the foul line. His 20
game average was 17.7 points a
game.

field. The freshman guard not only
played great defensive ball
throughout the season but scored
221 points in 21 games for an
average of 10.5 points a game. Don
Knoner, breaking his wrist near the
end of the season, had to sit out
the last 4 games. His 17 game to-tals
were 146 points for an 8.6
average. In the fifth place for to-tal
points scored, was Paul Ohlin
who dropped 140 points in 18
games for a 7.8 average. Trailing
him by 7 points was Mark Nyberg
who totaled 133 points in 19 games
for an average of 7.4 points. Jim
Almeroth, rejoining the squad
about half way through the sea-son,
ranked number 7 in total
points scored with 128. However,
he ranked third in average points
per game ending up with a 10.7
average for 12 games.
Not to be overlooked are the
efforts by the reserves Cedar, Eck-ert,
Smith, Dahlquist, Albright,
and Johnson, who threw in over 60
points during the season.
With the coaching by Peterson
and Healy, the range and height of
Rekstad, Ohlin, Almeroth and Ny-berg
and the speed of Knoner, Bot-tenfield,
and Conrad the Bethel
cagers gave us a winning season in
1955-56. With the prospect of the
return of a number of these play-ers
the future looks bright in 1956-
57.

Jim Almeroth's free throw with
four seconds left gave the Bethel

Valley City Vikings, Saturday, Feb-ruary
25.

his first toss but split the cords
with the winning point on the sec-ond

four points was whittled down by

"Chris" Receives
$4000 Scholarship
Carl Christianson, Bethel grad-uate
of '54, was no discredit to his
alma mater when he stepped for-ward
to receive a $4,000 medical
scholarship at a state Medical
association dinner February 25.
"Chris," as he is better known to
his former classmates, is the son
of housemother "Ma" Christianson.
A University of Minnesota medical
school freshman, he will use this
fund to help finance his four years
of medical school.
The rural medical scholarship
was granted to "Chris" on the
basis of outstanding scholarship
and character and an interest in
rural practice. It is the fourth such

Publish Papers
Norris Magnuson, in collabora-tion
with David Moberg, presented
the paper "A Follow-up Study of
Week-day Church School Gradu-ates"
in the last issue of "Relig-ious
Education," a significant pub-lication
in its field.
Dr. Moberg's and Norris' re-search
work was done in the na-ture
of interviews of ministers,
graduates of week-day church
schools, and "converts" won thru
child evangelism classes. Norris
worked full-time
for the two months, with Dr. Mo-berg
working part-time and doing
approximately one-third of the
canvassing.
Coming out in the 1956 spring
issue of "Journal of Pastoral Care"
is a similar article entitled "Cur-rent
Trends in Evangelism" by the
same authors, and they have also
published an article in the "Bethel
Seminary Quarterly," February,
1955, entitled "A Follow-up Study
of Converts."
These papers were prepared on
the basis of findings discovered in
a study made in 1953 financed by
an undergraduate research fellow-ship
awarded to Norris by the So-cial
Science Research Council. Out
of the 322 applicants from all over
the nation, only 41 students were
accepted, representing 25 colleges
and universities.
