"Villian" is the cry when a mock-physician is discovered. Here, in rehearsal for the junior class play,
invalid Luncinde (Karen Christensen) with her nurse (Elizabeth Backlund) looks on in amazement as her
father (Les Funk) and Lucas (Richard Discher) accuse Sganarelle (Roy Brottlund).

Moliere's "Physician
To Be Presented Dec. 1
M. Peterson, B. Mattson
Win State Debate Trophy
The winning trophy for the Min-nesota
Women's debate tourna-ment
and two superior ratings in
oral interpretation rank first in
honors which the debate squad has
brought home from their first two
tournaments. Marge Peterson and
Betty Mattson won the first at
Mankato November 9 and 10. The
latter were scored by Betty and
Jack Tierney at Bradley university
this weekend.
To obtain the nine-inch trophy,
Marge and Betty won all four
rounds of debate and scored 50 our
of 60 possible team points, thus
surpassing second-place Eau Claire
team by three points. Points are
awarded in every round of debate
to each individual and are based
on the quality of his speeches.
The two teams attending the
Bradley tournament obtained high-est
ratings in speech activities in-cludes
with the debates. Betty and
Jack were both awarded superiors,
the highest rating given, in oral
interpretation. Bev Voldseth and
Marge, as well as Betty and Jack,
were rated excellent in discussion.
Altogether, the teams received ex-cellent
or superior scores in eight
of the eleven events entered.
Dr. Paul Grabill, coach, accom-panied
the two teams to Peoria,
Illinois, for this tournament. The
Bradley tournament is one of the
largest that the squad will attend
this season, sixty schools being
represented.
Three women's teams besides
Marge and Betty participated in
the Mankato tournament. Also rep-resenting
Bethel, Lynn Weaver
and Lois Larson won two debates,
scoring 46 team points, and Karen
Christensen and Sharon Berg-strom
won one round, scoring 42
points. Marily Hagstrom and Bev
Voldseth compared favorably to
other teams by scoring 38 points.
"All King's Men"
To Be Shown
by Phyllis Anderson
"All the King's Men", the first
of the series of films sponsored
by the cultural council, will be
shown Thursday evening, Novem-ber
29th at 7:30 p.m. in the col-lege
chapel.
The film is an Academy Award
winner and is based on the novel
by the same name written by Ro-bert
Penn Warren. The novel was
awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1947
and has established itself as one
of the notable books in all Ameri-can
fiction.
Willie Stark has been described
as a power-impelled, back-country
demagogue, driven and corrupted
by success. The story of his rise to
power is intense in its action and
gives insight into the character
and motivation of a man intoxi-cated
with compulsion to power.
There will be no admission
charge.
Choir Tour Planned
To New England
Traveling to Boston, Mass., by
chartered bus, the college choir
plans to make its annual tour
March 1-17, 1957.
Concerts will be given in church-es
in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
and Massachusetts. Sometimes as
many as four concerts will be given
in one day.
To be eligible to go on this trip,
choir members must maintain a
grade average of "C".
Phyllis Engberg
Elected Senate
Secretary Nov.9
Phyllis Engberg, elected record-ing
secretary for the Student Sen-ate,
November ninth, will assume
her new duties at the Student Sen-ate
meeting to be held November
27, at the home of President Lund-quist.
The election was held because
of Betty Mattson's resignation.
Lillian Boyer, Marlene Durcher,
and June Sparling, all of the jun-ior
class, were also candidates for
the office. Because of a tie vote,
a run-off election between Phyllis
and June was held.
Alsa a junior, Phyllis is a mem-ber
of the choir for her second
year and last year served on the
BWA council.
Besides the regular secretarial
duties of notifying members of
meetings and taking and posting
the minutes, the recording secre-tary
serves as a member of the
Student Life committee, a faculty-student
organization which evalu-ates
student needs and life.

Moliere's one-act play, "Physi-cian
in Spite of Himself," is an
evening's entertainment in itself,
the junior class has concluded.
Tickets will go on sale next week
for this play which is scheduled
for production Saturday, Decem-ber
1, at 8 p.m. in the college
chapel.
Because of the length of Mol-iere's
play and because of the un-avoidable
d e l a y in obtaining
scripts, Christopher Fry's "Boy
With a Cart" will not be produc-ed,
as originally planned, at the
same time as "Physician in Spite
of Himself."
The story of an irresponsible but
hilarious husband is the theme of
this play. Roy Brottlund plays the
leading role of Sganarelle in this
translation of the French comedy.
Beverly Voldseth portrays his
wife, Martine, who tries to get
even with her husband for beating
her by telling everyone that he is
a doctor. Sganarelle is hired "in
spite of himself" and the plot,
which includes a love story, goes
Stephan Hero, internationally
known violinist, will appear at
Bethel in an all-school convoca-tion,
Friday, November 30.
That Mr. Hero is a popular or-chestral
soloist may be demonstra-ted
by the fact that he has made
guest appearances with more than
forty symphonic groups including
the New York Philharmonic, Phil-adelphia
orchestra, National of
New York at Carnegie Hall, and
Minneapolis symphony orchestra.
A long list of other honors also
speak well of him. In 1932 he was
chosen to play the Paderewski
on to the climax.
Other members of the cast in-clude
Les Funk (Geronte), Karen
Christensen (Lucinde), Dave Burk-ebile
(Leandre), Ken Fuller (Val-ere),
Rich Discher (Lucas), Eliza-beth
Backlund (Jacqueline), Henry
Swartz (Thibault), Dick Hillested
(Perrin), and Dennis Johnson (M.
Robert).
Dr. Richard Curtis, associate
professor of speech, is faculty dir-ector
for the play. The student
director is Betty Mattson.
Jim Sheldon and Bryan Harris
are in charge of tickets for the
play, which will go on sale next
week at the price of $1.00. They
will also be sold at the door at the
performance of the play.
Working behind scenes are five
committees as well as Beverly
Otterness, prompter. Dick Larson
and Dave Johnson are in charge of
lighting, and Carol Julien and Den-nis
Mattson, of props. Hope Sef-fens,
Phyllis Anderson, and Sylvia
Jackson are working on costumes
and Les Funk on makeup.

Music critics speak well of him,

Mr. Hero will present the sec-ond

Appropriate Thankfulness
The Rev. Maurice Lawson, instructor in English, mentioned a very
tricky subject last Wednesday in chapel when he touched on inappro-priate
thankfulness. Momentarily he raised this question: "Was it out
of place for the pilgrims to thank God for the corn they found or
actually stole from the Indians?" "It is difficult," he said, "to tell
where the providence of God begins or ends."
This, we feel, is a good point to make. We must be careful not
to say dogmatically that God's will was done when something happened
which we favored; nor can we say that—just because something hap-pened—
it was God's will.
For this reason, we strongly disagree with the editorial in the
Nov. 16 "Standard." We do not know that it was God's will for Eisen-hower
to be elected, even though we may personally be happy about
it. Can we believe that God ignored the Southern Baptists' prayers?
If we "take the election results at least in part as an answer to
many prayers," as the "Standard" suggests, we must take every elec-tion
result the same way. This would often get us into serious diffi-culties.
Let us be careful not to mix God's will with our own opinions and
desires when we thank Him this Thanksgiving. But let's be sure to
thank Him!
Culture Is Important
This issue of the CLARION may appear to some students to be
little more than a bulletin on cultural activities and intellectual pursuits.
This is not at all the result of conscious effort, but since this type of
news predominates, it might not be out of order to point two events
announced in this issue.
First of all, for all students who read the CLARION feature en-titled
"On Familiar Ground" and lamented along with the author the
thinness of the intellectual atmosphere on campus, the action announced
in the letter of Areopagitica" should come as a welcome proposal.
A cultural innovation on campus will be the showing of "All the
King's Men" next Thursday evening. This is the first in a series of out-standing
films which will be brought to the campus under the sponsor-ship
of the cultural council this year.
If, as Christian college students, we believe that part of our college
experience is becoming acquainted with the best and becoming conver-sant
on universal problems of society, this is one way to begin.

I-P-raye-r
0 Lord,
Forgive my divided affections.
I have willed to give my very
self to you and in the same
thought have wondered what I
should get in return. I have
given myself up subject to quali-fications.
I have thought that I
had something in me which
needed special consideration. I
have made myself a judge of
your purposes.
Lord, I have tried hard to be
your kind of man. Now my bag
of tricks is empty, and I have
failed. What shall I do next?
In your hand is all power. You
speak, and one man rules the
world. You touch him, and he
can no longer rule himself. By
your will the corn-sToot breaks
through the ground and mighty
Sequoias fall prey to tiny in-sects.
0 God of my salvation, make
me your servant. You know the
process required. Help me not to
inter f ere.
Amen.
•Discuss With Us
Dear Editor:
It has been a self-evident truth
of recent years that on this campus
there is an abysmal lack of intel-lectual
vitality in the extra-curri-cular
program. There is no group
which regards it as their absolute
duty to discuss current and hot
topics. Not a single session has
been devoted to the problem of
Suez. Who has discussed in organ-ized
(or for that matter unorgan-ized)
fashion the Dead Sea Scrolls ?
No irritated minds have been ex-ploring
in open parlance the mean-ing
of "demythologizing" a la Bul-tmann.
When have we had drag-ged
out for review the old topics
of "free will," etc., etc., etc ? As I
recall no group argued the issues
(or lack of issues) of the past elec-tion,
and unbelievable as it may
seem, I believe two Kinsey reports
were ignored.
But I am not one to despair. No,
No! There are yet a few who like
a hot current topic in politics,
religion, philosophy, etc. And there
are a few who enjoy the able pre-sentation
of any opinion. There-fore,
I will raise the standard of
a new society on this campus
in the coffee shop at 8:30 p.m.,
Nov. 27. Friends of such a society
will congregate ready for organi-zation.
By 9:30 of the said night a
new, vital, intellectually ambitious
and excitingly curious society will
have been created.
Thus on appeal��if you like vital
discussion without topics or holds
barred. If you are willing to desert
your steady for a night or two a
quarter, if you are willing to turn
in an unsigned page or two, drop
around.
Expectantly,
Areopagitica
P.S. One warning should be added.
Failure to do this sort of thing
may well put you one more long
step along the road which leads to
a life of endless adult nights spent
with that nightmarish death called
television.
*Foreigners?
Dear Editor:
I'm sure that the students from
Alaska appreciated their "foreign"
designation in the article, "A Mot-ley
Crew."
Bob Reed
Ed. Note.—We apologize.
Their last big chance of the
Leap Year came and eight Bethel
girls had to miss it.
The girl debaters were not a-round
on Nik Dag night. The Man-kato
debate tournament came
first with them. It is really a
shame, because all of the girls had
such gala exciting plans for the
evening.
Lynn Weaver was on the com-mittee
planning the Nik Dag pro-gram
and would have been busy
back stage all night. "Donny," the
University of Minnesota man we
hear so much about from Betty
Mattson, absolutely refused to be
dragged to the affair. Marge Pet-erson
planned to use the time for
last minute work on the Clarion
feature page. Since her slides were
disorderly after showing them to
the German Club, Lois Larson
thought it was the ideal night to
rearrange them. She thought that
she might be asked to show them
•"Do Unto Others...."
Dear Editor:
While standing in line Tuesday
to vote at the fieldhouse, my hus-band
and I were much chagrined
upon overhearing the conversation
of a woman in back of us with an-other
woman about "those Bethel
students." Their comments were
anything but favorable. And sorry
to say, their complaints were jus-tifiable
in every respect.
They were disturbed with the
disrespect shown by the fellows
with the parking of their cars, ap-parently
those who live off cam-pus.
In commenting on the new
buildings going up, one woman
said, "Just 140 more kids to throw
gum papers and ice cream cones
on our lawn and to walk across our
property." And there were more
unfavorable remarks, as well, such
as, "I guess that is what happens
when you go to college."
Apparently these women didn't
know we were connected with
Bethel, or if they knew, they didn't
care. But it was a startling thing
to discover just how the neighbor-hood
feels about our school. There
are always a few bad apples in
the barrel to spoil it for others,
whose testimony rings true.
I think it is time we took stock
of ourselves and rethought Christ's
teaching, "So whatever you wish
that men would do to you, do so
to them," and "Love thy neighbor
as thyself."

•Criticism
Dear Editor:
Everything from food to man-ners
has been thoroughly criticiz-ed
lately in the CLARION. And
well this might be for the spirit
of criticism is said to be healthy.
But this is true only when the
right method of criticism is used.
The editorial page of the last
CLARION used two contrasting
types of criticism. In the "Letters
to the Editor" the missionary
spirit of the campus was criticiz-ed.
The final note of this article
was "I challenge." Across the page
was an editorial on Bethel's school
spirit. Although the body of this
article did much to stir up a feel-ing
of "let's do something about
it," the final sentence put a dam-per
by saying, "We're probably
just too lazy to try." The con-trast
between these two last para-graphs
is obvious. One says, "Let's
again soon at Swedish club, or
perhaps Spanish club.
Karen Christensen is a newcom-er
to the United States from
Canada. She had considered spend-ing
the evening writing letters to
her girl friends in Canada about
dating procedure in America. "A
free ride home?", cried Sharon
Bergstrom, a resident of Mankato.
"Why certainly I'll debate." Bev
Voldseth was going to begin plans
for next year's homecoming decora-tions
And then there's Marilyn
Hagstrom who goes steady with a
fellow from Wheaton. What a per-fect
time to write him an extra
long letter.
Yes, the girls might have had a
gay, entertaining evening. But
they sacrificed it all and went to
Mankato to represent Bethel at a
debate tournament. They feel that
they should be highly commended
for their willing spirits and dedi-cation
to the school.
get going" while the other moans,
"What's the use?" Perhaps we
have forgotten that criticism helps
more when it encourages and of-fers
suggestions than when it
merely condemns.
Most people don't like to have
the finger pointed at them. The
best way to change a person's ac-tions
or thinking is by showing
him a better way.
Let us have criticism, but let's
have the kind that inspires and
encourages, not condemns and de-feats.
Remember, you can still
catch more flies with honey than
you can with vinegar.
Vonna Lou Shelton
Ed. Note. — We didn't day,
"What's the use?" We stated what
we felt was the fact in the matter.
•'Spirit' vs. 'Spirit'
Dear Editor:
No school "spirit?" I vehemently
disagree with you, Mr. Editor!
Bethel boasts a far nobler school
"spirit" than that of the rah-rah
fervor behind a losing ball club
(which even a secular school would
not have). I speak of the school
"spirit" of Christian consecration
and devotion to Christ. Is this not
school "spirit?" But I agree, we
need both kinds.
Al G.
Ed. Note.—Do you think then,
that there is not deficiency in our
school spirit? We think there is.
Prayer Retreat
During the din of the day, you
may wish to stop for a few minutes
to be to be alone and pray.
The prayer tower in the college
building has been removed, but the
prayer room in the library is
set aside for this purpose. Located
on the mezzanine floor of the li-brary,
the prayer room permits
complete privacy. The venetian
blinds can be drawn and the door
can be locked. A Bible has been
placed in the room and there is a
place to kneel.
In these hectic days of finals you
may find it spiritually rewarding
if you spend just a few minutes
there. Everything else is far away.
God is near.

(as told to Lynn Weaver)
Though I'm yellow this does not indicate that I am a coward. In
my weeks of existence this quarter I have been mutilated, twisted, torn,
effaced, and soiled. Except for three times a day I can be found in
textbooks, wallets, or some insignificant but safe place. I appear only
when grabbed up by a hasty student on the way to the dining hall. I
cringe as I am folded, rolled, and placed behind the ear of some foot-ball
player.
The first time I was used I thought I was really important. I was
shown to a V. I. P. at the end of the chow line. Now I am disappointed
and frustrated. For the last week I have been carried around but not
shown off once. I am hidden under a napkin, a plate of stew, or a dish
of "popeye's favorite." Several of my brothers have found their end
in the dish washing machine when some careless student has forgotten
that he has left it under the garbage and soiled dishes on his tray.
I believe I fulfilled my purpose, if I ever had one, when the office
used me as a kind of student receipt. Now I have done my duty and
think it only fair that I retire to some scrapbook, waste basket, or any-where
so I don't have to continue to be hid under dirty dishes and
clasped in the sweaty hands of unconcerned students.
I hope I won't be revived next quarter.

The fieldhouse has been the
scene of fervent activity for the
past few weeks, as the basketball
squad has been working out in
preparation for their first game
with Concordia junior college Nov-ember
24 in the Royals' fieldhouse.
Since the squad lacks experience,
it has been necessary to review
fundamentals thoroughly, along
with the usual intra-squad scrim-mages
in practices thus far. The
lineup has been juggled so much
that the starting team would be
impossible to predict except for
Rekstad and Conrad, who have
been consistent scorers for three
years.
Paul Ohlin, veteran forward, is
expected to return next quarter to
add more experience and height
to the already tall front line that
includes Glen Westin 6' 5", Don
Becker 6' 4", and Howie Rekstad
6' 3".
Bill Conrad 5' 7", Bob Pommer-enke
6', and Rob Singleton 5' 7",
will probably see most of the ac-tion
at guard.

We Should Continue Football
other areas of life as well.
But if we did drop football, or
any other major sport, what would
happen to our physical education
program ? What would happen to
our education program in general?
There are many who may not con-sider
majoring in physical educa-tion
but strongly desire it as a
minor. I cannot help thinking that
there is a large field of endeavor
for Christian coaches after read-ing
of Mr. Rabb's unfortunate foot-ball
training.
Football is not at fault when
men play it wrong. Should we drop
the sport here at Bethel ? The an-swer
is no.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
Team Prepares
For Opener Sat. by Jack Tierney
Anything can go to an extreme.
In the last issue of the Clarion we
were vividly shown what a vicious
and hideous game football is. We
were told of crowds yelling for
"blood," of a coach showing his
players how to effectively use those
"little tricks," and the age old law
of an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth. All these things, Mr.
Rabb says, are part of the game
of football. The illustrations he used
concerned the Pacific Coast League,
—the league now so well known for
its scandalous policy toward foot-ball.
It would be utterly naive to
say that in some sections of the
country the game has not been
perverted, but is that the fault
of football? Is it really the game
that is inherently evil? Because
one person cheats in school should
we stop providing means for edu-cation
? If we are going to first
of all condemn football, and sec-ondly
condemn it on a Christian
campus, let's look at our own cam-pus.
On Wednesday Nov. 28, the
Barons and the Counts, two of the
three undefeated teams in the in-tramural
volleyball league, square
off in a show-down match for a
tie in the league lead. Both have a
record of four wins and no losses.
Also with a 4-0 record is the team
of Jesters who play the Peasants
(0-4).
The Jesters may have an easy
time in their next game, but on
successive weeks play the Barons

Why does an indi7idual play
football at Bethel ? Is it the great
benefits he receives ? The extra
glass of milk a day is hardly a
strong incentive. Is it the glory
he gets ? Nine times out of ten
he is ridiculed. Why does he play
the game ? Because he enjoys it.
It's fun to have a winning team
in everything we do but is that
the primary purpose ? If it is,
Bethel would be smart to hire
some "amateurs" to rank us among
the top ten teams in the nation.
I am not saying that the team is
not trying to win, for they would
rather win more than anyone else,
and I'm not saying that they won't
win in the future. But they won't
stoop to the "bestial level" to do it.
If our players can't play the game
legally they don't play at all. They
are taught no "little tricks." If the
individual as a Christian is illegal-ly
hit he can't retaliate illegally.
He must learn to discipline him-self
and continue to play honestly.
If he is able to do it on the grid-iron,
I believe he will do it in
and the Counts in their quest for
the championship.
The league is not as unbalanced
as it looks, except in the number
of players that show up. There are
still some games forfeited because
of lack of players.

`Dress-Up' Night To
Start Again: Senate
Noted Artist's
Work to Appear
An exhibit of paintings by Char-les
Beck of Fergus Falls, Minne-sota,
will be displayed in the stu-dent
center during the month of
December.
Mr. Beck's paintings have been
displayed and have won high rat-ings
at leading art centers
throughout the United States
within the past six years. One was
awarded first prize at the Minne-sota
state fair in 1951.
Mr. Beck received his B.A. de-gree
from Concordia college,
Moorhead, Minn. and his M.A. de-gree
from Iowa State University.
He is now employed as an artist
and sign painter.
The exhibit is presented by the
cultural council.
Camera Club to
Show Slides
A slide show, sponsored by the
Camera club, will be held Wednes-day,
November 28, at 7 p.m. in the
College chapel.
According to President Art
Coombes, some excellent shots of
Homecoming floats will be shown,
as well as slides dealing with
freshman retreat and campus life
in general. All students are wel-come
to attend.
Anyone having slides that could
be used is asked to contact Art
or put a note in P. 0. 83. Current
slides are desired, but they may
go back one year.
the CLARION
Five Students
In Auto Wrecks
Charles C. Anderson, Seminary
Senior, was critically injured in an
automobile accident last Thursday
night in Minneapolis. He is still
in very critical condition at Fair-view
hospital in Minneapolis.
He suffered a severe concussion
and lacerations on his head and
neck, and has been semi-conscious
since. The other driver was also
injured and the causes of the acci-dent
have not been established.
Sunday evening, Nov. 11, three
other Bethel students were injur-ed
in another automobile accident.
John Berh was severely cut on his
left hand and required 18 stitches
for it. Dale Larson suffered a
slight concussion and Rich Samuel-son
received internal injuries. Dave
Davies was also in the car, but was
not injured.
The three were rushed to Ancher
hospital and were brought home
to the student infirmary the next
afternoon. They were released last
Friday.
School Buys Lot,
Plans Building
Bethel's purchase of property
on the corner of Larpenteur ave-nue
and Pascal street was reveal-ed
by President Lundquist recent-ly.
It has been tentatively planned
to use this property for building
an apartment for faculty and staff
members. Although nothing has
been decided definitely, the plans
are being drawn up.
Though the construction of an
apartment off-campus would be a
first, the provision of housing for
faculty is not an innovation for
Bethel. At the present time the
school owns an apartment on Min-nehaha
avenue as well as several
homes nearer campus for this pur-pose.
Winter Fair
Scheduled
An all-school winter carnival is
scheduled for January 4 and 5,
immediately following Christmas
vacation. Included in the tentative
schedule of events is a formal ban-quet,
an all-school sleigh ride, and
competition between classes in
winter sports such as skating, to-bogganning,
and snow sculpturing.
Tickets for the banquet will go
on sale on or around December 7.
Because of the short lapse of time
between the date of our return to
school after Christmas vacation
and the dates set for the carnival,
social council chairman, Jack
Tierney, says it would be wise for
the men to arrange their dates for
the banquet before Christmas vaca-tion
begins.
oted Firm Gets
Bethel Contract
A contract was let last week to
the architect firm Morell and
Nichols for the long-range plan-ning
of Bethel college.
This firm is that which designed
the Southdale shopping center,
and is working on the long-range
program for the University of
Minnesota, and also for the state
capitol ground.
Heating engineers are also work-ing
on the possibility of a new
central heating plant on campus.
Studies are being made of the pre-sent
heating system and recom-mendations
will probably be made
shortly.
Wednesday "dress-up" night will
once again be initiated at Bethel,
beginning winter quarter. This tra-dition
was re-established by a vote
of the Student Senate at its Nov-ember
first meeting.
The action was taken because
the Senate members felt that
Bethel students should set aside
one night a week to practice good
table manners in a more formal
atmosphere. Dress-up night would
also, they felt, break up the mon-otony
of the week's routine sched-ule.
Another major advantage of
dress-up night would be the "ex-tra-
special" food prepared.
"Dress-up" night was a campus
tradition until December of last
year. At that time, following dis-cussion
on its disadvantages and
possibilities for its improvement,
the more formal mid-week dinner
was suspended. In its re-establish-ment
now some of the suggestions
made at that time are being con-sidered.
One of these is the plan-ning
of appropriate activities on
campus Wednesday evenings. Also,
to make the dinner something
"special," the Senate is consider-ing
a different method of serving
the meal.
Instrumentalists
Perform At Concert
Several solos and ensembles
were featured in the concert pre-sented
by the band last Tuesday.
In addition to the combined num-bers,
a solo—"Csardas" was play-ed
on the clarinet by Wayne
Henry. Beverly Carlson, Karin
Carlson, Karen Huso and Betty
Johnson formed a flute quartet
which played "Gavotte." "Bug-ler's
Holiday" was rendered by
John Anderson, Morris Anderson
and Gene Thompson on trumpets
and cornet. Bob Eliason, Harvey
Helm, Lyle Hill and James Key
gave the trombone arrangement
of "The Unveiled Christ."
An offering was received to en-large
the fund for band uniforms.
