Emily Blake and Russell Miller
are the featured soloists in
Brahms "Requiem" to be present-ed
in the fieldhouse next Sunday
at 4 p.m.
Miss Blake, teacher at MacPhail
college of music, and Russell
Miller, soloist at Wesley Temple,
are both well-known in the
Twin Cities.
The "Requiem" is more an en-larged
cantata than a requiem or
oratorio. Bethel students and
choirs from Elim Baptist church
and Augustana Lutheran church
will be singing.
Mr. Bertil Anderson is director.
Miss Mildred Bisgrove is the ac-companist.

Minn. Colleges
Bethel was admitted to the Min-nesota
Association of Colleges
Saturday, April 28 at their annual
meeting held at Carleton college.
In this association administra-tive
officials of the various mem-ber
schools meet semi-annually.
Such an association helps to stan-dardize
college programs of edu-cation.

$100 Dinner Puts
School In Black
President Carl Lundquist an-nounced
in chapel May 3 that the
school was able to close its fiscal
year ending April 29 in the black.
Largely responsible for this was
the $100-a-plate dinner which was
sponsored for interested friends
of the school in order to enable
Bethel to meet its budget. Two
hundred and fourteen people at-tended
the dinner, and approxi-mately
$18,000 was taken in.
The dinner was held at Lee's
Highland Inn, with Nels Stjern-strom
leading the program.
Pres. Lundquist and Wyman
Malmsten, assistant to the presi-dent,
spoke briefly to the group,
while Dr. Bob Smith delivered the
main address. Arnold Wicklund, a
businessman, delivered a challenge
from the layman's point of view.
The annual poetry reading and
oratory contest will be held to-morrow
evening at 7:30 in the
College chapel.
Participating in this year's con-test
are Shirley Anderson, Phil
Caldeen, Donn Goss, Marilyn Hag-strom,
Betty Mattson, Betty Oh-lin,
Chuck Paton, Harold Richard-son,
and Beverly Voldseth.
The oratory contest preliminar-ies
will be held this afternoon at
3 o'clock in the chapel.
34 Scholarships
To Be Awarded
Recipients of 34 scholarships
totaling over $1,600 will be an-nounced
on Wednesday, May 16,
in the annual Honors Convocation
in the college chapel. Miss Effie
Nelson, chairman of the Faculty
Commencement Activities com-mittee,
disclosed that the com-mittee
is now in process of con-sidering
students for the honors.
The scholarships are mostly
awarded on the basis of scholastic
standing, "B" average at least 3
full quarters of school work at
Bethel, and the vocational inter-ests
and need of the student.
Each professor suggests a list
of deserving students to the com-mittee,
composed of Mr. Dalton,
sec'y., Dr. Paul Grabill, Dr. Nel-son,
Dean Anderson, Dean Omark,
Pres. Lundquist, Mr. Reuben 0-
mark & Dr. Anton Pearson. These
names are checked in the dean's
office for scholastic records and
to them are added all those main-taining
above a B average. The
committee then makes a tentative
list of honor winners and submits
it to the faculty for approval and
changes.
Grace Jolly, Webster
Head Senior Class
Grace Jolly from Edmonton,
Alberta, is this year's college
validictorian. Tentatively plan-ning
to go to the Philippines as
a missionary, Grace came to
Bethel last fall. She is an English
literature major.
Before coming to Bethel, she
attended Teachers' college in Sas-katoon
Saskatchewan, the Uni-versity
of Alberta, and Briercrest
Bible Institute. She has taught
school near Wadina, Saskatchewan
and Edmonton, Alberta.
She is a member of the college
choir and the Foreign Missions
Fellowship.
Salutatorian of the college sen-ior
class is David Webster from
Minneapolis. Graduating with a
major in psychology and a split
minor in sociology and anthro-pology,
Dave plans to attend the
University of Minnesota this sum-mer
and begin work on his mas-ter's
degree in psychology. His in-terest
may lead him into either
flying or personnel work.
Three Share Sem Honors
Co-validictorian of the semin-ary
senior class are Dwight Erick-son
and John Hiben, whose grades
are practically identical.
Dwight, after attending Bethel
for two years, graduated from
San Diego State College in 1952.
He plans to continue his studies
in the New Testament at the Uni-versity
of Chicago.
This past year Dwight has had
a student pastorate at Long Prai-rie,
Minn., and has taught Greek
at St. Paul Bible Institute.
John Hiben from Minneapolis
graduated from Bethel College in
1954. He will continue his gradu-ate
studies at either Northern or
Central Baptist seminaries. After
school, he plans to take up either
the ministry or teaching. While
at Bethel John has been active in
Sunday School and Gospel team
work.
Salutatorian of the seminary
this year is Harvey Swanberg
from Minneapolis. Harvey grad-uated
from Bethel college in 1952.
In addition to attending school
and getting top grades, Harvey
has worked full time for the past
five years to support his wife
and two children. He plans to
enter the Air Force as a chaplain.
Dr. Simonson
For the first time in Bethel's
history the baccalaureate services
will be held in the fieldhouse. The
service, at 5 p.m. Sunday, May
20, 1956, will be preceded by an
organ prelude by Prof. C. Howard
Smith. The Rev. James Luckman,
missionary home on furlough from
Ethiopia, will speak.
Following the service at 5 p.m.
a reception will be held in the
dining hall of Bodien residence.
Commencement
Held May 25
Commencement exercises are
scheduled for Friday, May 25,
8:00 p.m. in the fieldhouse. A com-mencement
prelude at 7:45 by
Richard Dahlquist will precede the
processional. Leading the proces-sion
of graduates and faculty will
be the marshals, Marjory Peter-son,
highest ranking junior, and
Norris Magnuson, highest ranking
seminary middle-man.
A mass choir composed of the
musical groups on campus, and
directed by Prof. C. Howard
Smith, will provide the music.
The college graduates will
be presented by Dean Anderson
and the seminary graduates by
Dean Omark. President Lundquist
will confer the degrees and pre-sent
the diplomas.
A reception for the faculty, the
graduating classes, and their rela-tives,
will follow the commence-ment
exercises.
Dr. Anderson
Becomes Dean
Of Students
Dr. V. Elving Anderson, acting
dean, will be serving our school
in the capacity of Dean of students
beginning next fall. This office
will serve as a coordination of all
non-academic interests in the col-lege
and seminary.
The speficic areas which are co-ordinated
here include counseling
service, health, housing, food ser-vices,
co-curricular activities, stu-dent
aid, vocational services (in-cluding
placement), guidance in
student conduct and various re-ligious
activities.
The fourth year of the secondary teacher training program will
be inaugurated at Bethel during the coming school year, 1956-57. Stu-dents
graduating through this program will be certified by the state
to teach in secondary schools.
The program, which involves the
addition of senior courses in edu-cation,
will be subject to the re-view
of the state department of
education. Final approval will be
made by that department at the
close of the next school year.
To qualify for a teaching cer-tificate,
a student must have 27
credits in education besides the
usual credit requirements for an
academic major and minor. The
principal courses which will be
added to the curriculum are in
the areas of general methods,
aspecial methods, and observation
and practice teaching.
The plans include the beginning
of a placement service for stu-dents
for students graduating
from the course.
The beginning of the full sec-ondary
teacher training program
marks the attainment of a goal
set up several years ago. It was in
1953 that the third year of edu-cation
courses was first offered.

Suppose someone on Bethel's
campus were to begin a survey
among students as to what their
plans are for the summer. The
results might easily turn out like
this: (1) I'm going to work, (2)
I'm getting married, (3) I will be
teaching Bible school, (4) I'm get-ting
married, (5) I guess I'll loaf,
(6) I'm getting married and so
on and on.
There seem to be quite a num-ber
of our students who are go-ing
to start braving the storm on
the sea of matrimony during the
coming summer months. Natural-ly,
these prospective brides and
grooms have come to this point
in their relationship in various
ways, and the beginning of these
relationships might be interesting
too.
There is one problem which re-sults
from this situation. That is
a question of why, under the var-ious
circumstances involved in
their time of courtship, did they
choose this summer. Didn't any
of them realize that there will
probably be dozens of weddings
involving Bethel students this
summer and that it would be re-membered
much longer if they
waited until a summer when there
were only one or two of the joy-ous
occasions involving our Beth-elites.
They say love is blind, and
if our marriage prospectives have
not heard about all of these other
prospects here I am inclined to
think that it may be deaf as well.
May I now turn abruptly to the
more sensible side of this thing.
Surely we can be thankful that
marriage plans evolving on our
campus have been nourished by
Christian principles and that the
homes which they establish will
be testimonies of Christian love
and centered in Christ. Let us pray
that God will guide and bless them
in their lives together.
Gratitude Expressed
Dear editor:
I like to play tennis, but as of
yet I am not very good at it for
I am just learning how. Bethel's
new tennis courts now make ten-nis
more convenient. But this ad-dition
to our campus is serving
the school in a greater capacity
than merely being a convenience.
Many of us are starting to play
tennis for the first time. We are
learning what an exciting game
this can be and although we find
it a hard game to play we are
thoroughly enjoying it. But much
more than giving us a broader
education and making our lives
fuller because of the knowledge
and enjoyment of this game, we
are meeting new people and mak-ing
new friends. Students I have
never had the chance to meet be-fore
are now becoming my friends
because of a mutual interest in
the game of tennis. This is also
a part of my education and also
a part of my"Christian life, meet-ing
people and making friends.
The reason I write this letter
is to personally thank the school
for these things they have done
for us by way of the new tennis
courts.

P.S. Anybody for tennis ?
Dining Hall Defended
Dear editor:
The article in the last CLARION
concerning Bethel meals was un-necessary
and uncalled for. The
cleverly written article was an
insult to Bethel's reputation and
the cooks.
Does the author of the article
realize that off-campus people also
read the CLARION? What re-action
will parents and prospec-tive
students have to this article?
The author probably didn't con-sider
these factors.
Naturally the cooks are indir-ectly
"accused" of making the
meals stated in the article. Actu-ally
I doubt whether the author
of the article ever watched the
cooks prepare the meals. If the
person has gripes about the meals
why doesn't he or she talk to the
cooks instead of "sneaking" an
article into the CLARION where
everyone can see it. Anyone can
criticize the cooks but I wonder
how many Bethelites are Christ-ian
enough to pray for them at
the meal prayers. Then, too, how
does one expect the cooks to make
steaks and eggs every day when
only $1.17 is charged for the daily
meals. If the charge was raised
the same students would probably
complain about the prices of the
meals. It's simply impossible to
please 300 to 400 students, espec-ially
when some are unreasonable
in their judgments.
What about our Christian out-look
on this matter ? The Bible
says "In everything give thanks
. . ." How can anyone pray asking
the blessing on the food and then
tell others how "sloppy" it is.
What kind of Christianity is this ?
Let's have less unnecessary criti-cism
and more Christian love and
respect for the cooks and our col-lege.
A grateful student
Reply to Honiglecker
Dear Editor:
"Honiglecker", who wrote in the
CLARION of April 4, has a cor-dial
invitation to enroll in Ren-aissance
and Reformation history.
While one may agree with the idea
of the letter, the line of historical
interpretation used to substan-tiate
it was erroneous.
The sixteenth century was not
an age of toleration. Christian
humanists and Protestan reform-ers
were capable of as much in-tolerance
as Italian humanists and
Catholic reformers.
Erasmus, perhaps the greatest
Christian humanist, in a letter to
Sir Thomas Grey wrote: "I would
not have you construe this as dir-ected
against Theology itself . . .
I have only amused myself in
making game of some psudo-theo-logians
of our time, whose brains
are rotten, their language barbar-ous,
their intellects dull, their
manners rough, their life hypo-critical,
their talk full of venom,
and their hearts as black as ink."
Luther, in denouncing Henry
VIII did not demonstrate Christ-ian
love when he called him a
"damnable and rotten worm, a
snivelling, drivelling swine of a
sophist." No more deserving of
commendation was the language
of Thomas More when he retal-iated
to the foregoing by com-plaining
of the language of "this
apostate, this open incestuous
lecher, this plain limb of the devil
and manifest messenger of hell."
The CLARION is to be com-mended
for the editorial on the
right to criticize constructively.
One really should not love a sys-tem
or organization to the point
where one is unwilling to recog-nize
faults which may be a part
thereof.
Roy C. Dalton
Mission Budget
Re-evaluated
by Marjory Peterson
At this point, gentle and kindly
pressure is being put on at the
Wednesday chapel services. There
are only two weeks left and we
are still $2,299 away from our
missionary budget goal of $5,500.
It is quite obvious that again this
year the goal will not be reached.
The religious council is trying to
analyze the reason for this disap-pointment.
Can it be that the ap-peals
have not been strong en-ough?
Are Bethel students losing
interest in missions ?
This concern brings to my mind
another question. Why do we have
a missionary goal? It has long
been a Baptist practice to care-fully
avoid assessing any kind of
dues to its members. Yet this is
what the religious council does, in
effect, by setting up this type of
budget. In actuality they have as-sessed
an amount of $10 as the
requested missionary giving from
each student.
Mr. Stjernstrom speaking in
chapel last Wednesday, in an at-tempt
to appeal on the personal
level stated that the question is
not "What will the Bethel stu-dents
do ?" but "What did I do ?"
This is the emphasis that I would
like to see. Most Bethel students
are members of a church where
they can give their missionary
contributions. Why not encourage
them to do so individually ("What
did I do ?") rather than have a
committee set up standards for
the student body ("What will the
Bethel students do ?").
Miss Johnson Exhibits
Ink and Pencil Art
Art work of Miss Dorothy John-son,
instructor of art, will be ex-hibited
in the student center until
the end of the year.
Miss Johnson has on exhibit pen
and ink, and pencil life drawing
and advertising illustrations.
These will remain up for a week
or so.
The works of the art classes
will be shown later. Of most in-terest
will be the works of June
Carlson and Earl Grano, art ma-jors.
These two are Bethel's first
art majors.
Miss Buckley Recovering
On the sick list, Audrey Buckley
is in the girl's infirmary recover-ing
from major surgery perform-ed
Sunday, April 9 at Mounds
hospital. According to Marian
Reimer, school nurse, Audrey has
already been taking her meals in
the dining hall, and should soon
be up and around.
Editor's note
Instead of an editorial, we are inserting a statement of the admini-strative
committee regarding the controversy involving the Commence-ment
speaker.
At a special meeting last Friday the faculty of Bethel College
and Seminary recommended to the administration that the com-mencement
address scheduled to be delivered by Dr. W. A. Cris-well
be canceled because of his recent inflammatory pro-segrega-tion
remarks made before South Carolina audiences. Dr. Criswell,
pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas, insisted in
his public statements that segregation is the only Biblical answer
to the race problem.
The recommendation highlights Bethel's long-standing policy
on admissions. It always has welcomed to its student body young
people of other races, including Negroes. This practice was cry-stallized
in a formal resolution by the Board of Education in
VTDC when there was intense national unrest toward those of
Japanese ancestry in the United States. At that time the Board
wrote into its minutes that any applicant otherwise qualified shall
be admitted to Bethel College and Seminary regardless of his race.
The faculty recommendation constitutes an attempt to disa-vow
the racial viewpoint which so recently and so publicly has
become associated with Dr. Criswell. The feeling among many
faculty members is that the appearance of Dr. Criswell at this
time on such a ceremonial occasion as Commencement might imply
endorsement of his stand on the race issue. The classrooms and
convocation periods, however, are open to him to visit us to pre-sent
his position in the give and take of academic discussion.
On Monday morning this week the administration voted to
accept the faculty recommendation and asked the Commence-ment
Activities Committee to make other arrangements for a
speaker.
Behind The Counter
by Shirley Anderson
Are you in favor of turning a situation around and getting the
other guy's point of view? If not, don't read further. In order to be
objective about this whole matter of going through line—from before
the door opens until you pour your milk—I'm going to give you the
"inside story."
It's two minutes until serving time. The crew have been pushing
down their supper for the past eight minutes, when someone outside
begins pounding on the door. Still chewing on those last three bites,
they jump up and begin dishing up a few plates in preparation for
the opening of the door. The elusive two minutes have escaped and the
door is opened, letting in a torrent of noise, gripes, chatter, requests,
and occasionally some genuine cheer.
To be really specific, here are some of the things we hear.
"Could I have more meat instead of a pickle?"
"If I don't take any meat, can I have three desserts ?"
"Can't you hide an extra piece of meat under my potatoes ?"
Then there's the fellow who comes through the line singing "Re-member
Me."
And on Friday. "It's dark in here tonight. You'd better put
two pieces of meat on so I can see it."
"I don't like liver, but I'll take it—the pieces are bigger."
And the phrase that's heard every meal. "Do you have any man-size
portions ?"
The gravy girls gets a good share of the remarks.
"Do it two times."
"I want the gravy on the potato she didn't have."
"Juice it up so it slides down!"
Familiar to all is the hearty but not too sincere "My, you girls look
nice tonight!"
It's six-thirty and time to close the door. We relax over a cup of
coffee. We laugh because it's been fun to see there's nothing more
original or trite than people.

Royals Power
Over Augsberg
Bethel broke a long time jinx
May 1, as they blasted the Augs-burg
nine by the score of 8-1, at
Northeast field.
Behind the six hit, five strike-out
pitching of Ed Brunzell, the
Royals broke the long tradition
of defeats which the Augsburg
crew have hung on the Bethel
nine.
The Royals got their first run
in the first frame and held the
Auggies scoreless until t h e
eighth when they got a single
tally.
Ken Albright banged out a cir-cuit
blow to add another run for
Bethel in the second inning. A free
pass, an error, and a double by
Donn Goss gave the Royals a pair
of markers in the third.
A home run by Jack Tierney and
a trio of free passes gave the
Royals single tallies in the fourth
and fifth innings.
The ninth inning saw Bethel
pick up a pair of insurance runs.
A pair of free passes and singles
by Donn Goss and Ken Albright
produced the runs.
The Auggies picked up their
lone tally in the eighth on a pair
of walks and a single by Nelson.
Brunzell picked us his third win
of the season as he gave up six
hits and struck out five. Olson
was tagged with the Augsburg
loss as he gave up five hits, three
of which were for extra bases.

Royals Humbled
By Concordia 3-5
The Bethel Royals lost their
fourth game of the season as Con-cordia
nine set down the Royals,
8-5, Tuesday, April 24 at Con-cordia.
The first two innings were score-less
as the Royals sent only seven
men to the plate and Concordia
eight.
The Comet nine broke into the
scoring column in their half of the
third inning. A pair of errors, a
hit batsman and a pair of singles
produced the two runs.
Bethel did their first scoring as
Don Goss was hit by a pitched
ball and Albright doubled, to
drive in one run.
Concordia again broke lose as
they scored three runs in the
fourth frame. A combination of a
double, two free passes and a hit
batsman produced the tallies.
In the seventh, the
Royals trailed 5-1. The Bethel
nine capitalized on four base hits,
two for extra bases, and a base
on balls to tie the score at 5-5.
A circuit smash by Jack Tierney
and a double by John Berg backed
the rally.
The Comets then proceeded to
tag Brunzell for three runs in the
seventh to sew up the game.

Bethel opened fire early as they
scored four runs in the third

punch.
Northwestern posed a slight
threat in the fourth and fifth as
they picked up three runs on
some loose Royal fielding and a
pair of base knocks.

in the seventh as the Royals com-piled
a grand total of six stolen
bases, five hits and a comedy of
Eagle errors to tally seven runs.
The Bethel nine added three
more runs to complete their scor-ing
as they rapped out three hits.
The win went to Brunzell who
allowed only four hits. Schoon was
blasted for ten hits and was tag-ged
with the Northwestern loss.

Bemidji picked up a run in the
first on two hits and a wild pitch.
They scored one more in the third
and two in the fourth while the
Royals failed to hit safely.
Albright singled in the fourth
for Bethel's first hit but it was
the sixth before the home team
could score, and then it was due
to shoddy fielding. In the seventh,
the Royals picked up another on
hits by Stahnke and Brunzell.
Nyberg started on the mound
and was relieved by Stahnke in
the fifth. He finished the game
with five hitless innings but the
deceisive runs had already scored.

The Royal baseballers have been giving their batting averages
a little shot in the arm lately. Jack Tierney has two circuit blows to
his credit and Ken Albright one. If the fielding can remain consistent
with the increased hitting power, the chances for a winning season
should be good.

Humor, Pathos Highlight Play
by Marjory Peterson
The Junior Class presented Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" to
capacity audiences both Friday and Saturday nights, April 27 and 28.
The play, with its informal staging was well suited to Bethel's in-adequate
drama facilities. An excellent feature was the salting of
some of the action in the audience or at the stage steps. The effective
lighting further helped to overcome the stage difficulties.
The play's three acts divide the lives of the character's into youth,
love and marriage, and death. The audience was especially responsive
the second night, relaxing in the informal setting and following with
sympathy the poignant scenes of the last act.
Harold Richardson's easy handling of the stage manager's role
effectively held together the rather loosely connected scenes. Elaine
Nelson gave a sensitive performance of Emily, giving a pert live-liness
to her childhood scenes. She was particularly expressive in the
last act, performing the pensive struggle to accept death with under-standing.
Les Funk and Betty Mattson scored the biggest laughs of the
play. Les, noting the audience reaction to his drinking coffee from
an imaginary saucer, delighted them by repeating it several times.
Betty's character role was played with enthusiasm and reached its
funniest point with her running commentary during the wedding scene.

Spring has been lauded by the
best of writers and poets. It is,
to quote experts, the season when
a young man's thoughts turn to
love or something, the season
when flowers bloom and birds
sing and grass grows and mort-gages
are extended, and the sea-son
when humanity wears one big
happy smile which it flashes about
with somewhat blinding brilliancy.
No, since I am neither a writer
nor a poet, I must content my-self
with pointing out the true
spring. In this sense, therefore,
this article may correctly be term-ed
an Expose!
Spring, as has been observed on
occasion, follows winter in the or-dinary
schedule with commendable
frequency, and trundles out toward
the end of June.
Spring is the season when nice
roads become muddy and bumpy,
when bad roads become impass-able,
and when birds get acute
laryngitislessness. Spring is ac-companied
by hay fever, weather
which is somewhat colder than
mid December, and a singular im-mobility
of the human race. Spring
is when it rains and snows eccen-trically,
when you put away your
snow shovels and get ten inches
the next day. It's when you plant
your garden only to have a cloud-burst
move it about a block down
the street the following day.
Spring is when trees and flow-ers
emit sickly, experimental
shoots, and that you discover that
every dog for miles has been at-tracted
to your lawn during the
winter. It's when the sidewalk as-sumes
indignant humps and bil-lows,
and what was a vertical
clothes-line post in fall has rotted
and fallen down and become a
horizontal clothes-line post.
Spring is when people who own
houses take off storm windows
the small boys have put snowballs
through, to put on screens which
small boys will put softballs
through. Spring is when the car
which ran so well all winter devel-ops
sleeping sickness, backfireitis,
and hardening of the gas line.
Spring is when the young po-liceman's
thoughts turn to tickets,
and when mankind's right food
gets alarmingly heavier. Spring
is when green signal lights blithe-ly
turn red in your face, and you
inevitably end up at the rear end
of a mile long line of cars headed
by an elderly couple pedalling a
Model T.
Spring is also, statistically
speaking, when more meteors fall,
more people get rammed by fly-ing
saucers and submarines, more
men, women, and children get
drafted and more people purchase
articles whose guarantees are
guaranteed to expire three days
before the article decomposes.
Spring is, finally, when dis-gusted,
frustrated, aspiring auth-ors
write articles disecting Spring.
