•Student's Role
Dear Editor,
I heartily agree with the editor
in his call for better understand-ing
and cooperative action on our
campus among students, teachers
and staff. During the present
school year w ehave become keenly
aware of this need. It is my im-pression,
however, that we have
not yet fully defined the basic
issues.
A report has recently come to
my attention entitled The Stu-dents'
Role in College Polick Mak-ing.)
In the preface the asser-tion
is made "that student leader-ship
can make useful contributions
to educational policy making, giv-en
the right conditions and op-portunities,
and that there are
significant educational values for
the students involved."
The report identifies four major
problem areas which are common
in many colleges: (1) establishing
the avenues of student participa-tion,
(2) defining the areas and
degrees of student participation
deemed appropriate in any given
institution, (3) developing effec-tiveness
of student participation,
and (4) developing adequate inter-personal
relationships between stu-dents
and members of the faculty
and administration.
We cannot make any real pro-gress
in inter-communication until
campus groups arrive at the faith
that they share the same basic
goals. Then we can shift our at-tention
from the individual cir-cumstances
of the past and take
the time to explore the issues stat-ed
above.
V. Elving Anderson
•Signed Letters
Dear Editor;
Recently I wrote the CLARION
a letter suggesting that letters-to-the-
editor should be signed. The
CLARION rejected my suggestion
by simply saying that it would
adhere to a traditional policy of
withholding the names on request.
No reasons were given. Tradition
—that was that.
But I am convinced that my
arguments were good ones. A sig-nature
would tend to (1) open dis-cussion
by interested parties, (2)
discourage the crank-letter, (3)
discourage the irresponsible imp-letter.
No one has offered rebuttal
to these points, and no one has
shown other points against my
case.
What does the CLARION think
are the reasons for its policy?
Let the readers know! I am will-ing
to hear your case. I can be
educated.
I notice you advocate free, open
discussion. I notice you deplore
action that is not followed or pre-ceded
by information. Come, come
then. Give me—the lowly, unwash-ed,
average reader—the reasons
for your action. Surely the CLAR-ION
does not support a double
standard!
Expectantly,
Walfred Peterson
•When, Where, Why?
Dear Editor,
It seems to me that some peo-ple
on this campus are somewhat
confused about their Christian
standards. I'm referring to the
recent thesis taped upon the walls
around campus.
Basically the problem lies in the
properness of dress and not with
a disruption of our Christian stan-dards.
It is merely a misunder-standing
on the students part in
knowing when and where the Ber-mudas
and slacks should be worn.
This problem arises in every
college. However, here at Bethel
some people want to make it a
moral issue. They say "keep
Bethel's standards high," and we
want to, but we need to look at
the real hindrances here on cam-pus,
conflicting against that high
standard.
I think that Bethel girls have a
right to know the reason for the
restrictions an sport clothes. A
reason would prevent many rebel-lious
feelings the girls may have.
It is only natural for people to
build up little things and give
them an unjustified importance.
There would be much more ac-complished,
if the students would
put as much energy in the really
important issues as they do in the
minor ones.
If others think that our stan-dards
are wrong, perhaps it would
be a good idea to have a meeting
of the student body concerning the
problem. Given a chance to reason
four ourselves, we may decide that
slacks are improper dress. Let the
students decide. What we do to
ourselves we cannot blame on any-one
else.
Concerned
Time For
Meditation
Father,
With gratitude and fear I ap-proach
Thy throne. With grati-tude
because in Thee I have found
a solution for my life; with fear,
because again I have soiled my-self.
I pray, wash me again, for
Thy work requires clean hands
and a clean heart.
Lord, teach me to live a life
worthy of thee. Give me strength
to act whenever I see a need and
not to rationalize for my laziness.
Help me to do my duty today in-stead
of putting it off. I do that
so often. Grant me a faith daring
enough to believe that Thou art
leading me. Don't make my path
so pleasant that I would be tempt-ed
to wander from it, nor make it
so difficult that I would faint be-fore
my course is finished.
Remind me often that one day,
when I see Thee in Thy glory, I
shall have to give an account of
my life.
Amen.
*Library Noise
Dear Editor:
A letter appeared in the April
30 CLARION strongly critical of
the library noise allegedly made
by the library staff. The letter
was quite obviously an extreme
description of the true conditions,
and this was obviously done to ex-aggerate
the issue in the eyes of
the Bethel community. I do not be-lieve
that the letter was written
to attack the library staff.
Although the writer used a pseu-donym,
his or their identity is well
known. It was the writer's inten-tion
to raise the issue in an ex-treme
way to get the attention of
the community focused on the is-sue
without again laying it com-pletely
to the blame of the stu-dents.
Therefore, in order to give
the issue this different slant, it
was exaggerated out of all pro-portion.
I do not believe that the charges
are accurate or descriptive. It
seems to me that the staff work-ers
make only the minimum noise
necessary. The staff is willing to
be of service far beyond that ex-pected
in a library.
In short, may this letter serve
as both an explanation of the
original letter and as a commen-dation
for the staff.

Freedom For Expression
Letters to the editor, one of the oldest practices of journalism, is
the place where newspapers express the opinions and ideas of its read-ers.
Although the letters printed in this column are not the last rule
of interpreting campus opinion and are not necessarily the attitudes of
the editors, it is still an important source for ideas, reactions, and in-terests
of the students.
Some people are more strongly and liberally opinionated than
others, but all should be allowed as much freedom of expression as
possible. In a student body, such as ours, it is extremely hard to get
people to express themselves publicly even when they should. Because
of this, and to encourage the wide use of this column for student views,
the CLARION has withheld the names of its letters writers upon
request. We feel that imposing a restriction such as Mr. Peterson sug-gests,
although it might eliminate the crank and childish letter, would
incur a severe stifling of this mode of expression that we believe is
extremely valuable.
Admittedly some letter's opinions are worth more than others, but
intelligent, discerning readers must evaluate and decide for themselves
the strength, validity, and truthfulness of each letter. Signed letters
at times might detract from the reader's giving each one of its justi-fied
consideration.
The CLARION will therefore continue to withhold the names of
writers upon request, but will publish no letters whose writers are un-known
to it. Letters longer than 250 words are subject to editing as
well as letters using libelous, obscene, or violently abusive language.
You must trust us to treat all letters with fairness and consideration.
Ideal letters are varied, well written in style and content, and timely.
Effective letters are the result of clear, constructive, and careful think-ing.
Please use this opportunity liberally and well.
While You're Resting-----
by Lawrence Van Heerden
If you knew that you would be thrown into isolated circumstances
for at least a year, (like a barren island or something) which six books
would you be sure to include in your brief case ? Try and figure it out
sometime.
Here are the selections chosen by members of the Bethel faculty.
Each of them said that the Bible would be their first choice. In addi-tion

Zetteta to de Ederen
The Night Is Coming
by Astrid Barbins
One of life's great delights is work.
The truly happy people are those who have found their purpose
in life and are working toward it. They have little doubts and fears,
for they have no time to think of themselves. Unlike many mortals
who eddy back and forth, tossed about by fears and uncertainty, these
men, have a clear aim which they must reach before night hides it
from their sight.
Work is its own reward. Can there be a greater delight to a farmer
than to gather in a rich harvest, the fruit of the seeds that he scattered ?
What greater joy can a child have than to give his mother something
which his little hands have made ?
Man's natural tendency is to take the easy road, to choose the
things that offer the most pleasure for the least work. Often men reach
out for a shining red apple, only to discover that it conceals poison.
Such poison is laziness hidden in the mask of happiness. Because peo-ple
eagerly pick this fruit and feast on it, they lose the joy and zest
for life.
God instituted work. He created the heavens and the earth so that
they would bring forth fruit and glorify the Creator. He created man
and commanded him to work. Christ spent His time on earth working,
and He died having accomplished the greatest work of all times. For
His followers Christ chose strong, hardworking men, men whom He
prepared to do this impossible. There was no vacation with pay for the
Master's disciples; the reward was inner joy and peace.
It would be interesting to watch the face of Christ when Christians
sing such choruses as "Safe am I, safe am I in the hollow of His hand."
Does He really want His people to be "sheltered in His love forever-more"
or would He rather see them in real life situations working out
their salvation?

Third In Meet
Royals Score 25-10 Victory
Jim Jackson, proving to be
Bethel's most outstanding track-ster
this year, won the Royal's
only blue ribbons. His leap of 20'
10" and time of 10:3 were the best
in the broad jump and 100 yard
dash, and his clearance of 5'8"
was sufficient for fifth in the high
jump event. The Royal's mile re-lay
team of Munson, Henry, Luck-man,
and Jackson captured second
with a time of 3:42.2, and Al Chris-tensen's
10' polevault was good
for asecon d place. Running the
half-mile in 2:07.4, Beryl Munson
garnered a second ranking also.
Other tracksters who earned points
were Don Becker, fourth in the
discus; Jim Reinholt, fifth in the
two mile run; Stu Luckman, third
in the 220 yard low hurdles; John
Reed, fourth in the 440 yard dash;
Wally Shold, fourth in the 120
yard high hurdles; and Ron Olson,
third in the 220 yard and fifth in
the 100 yard dashes.
Royals Win
In Tenth 7-6
After a wild first inning in
which he gave up four walks,
Stahnke settled down to pitch a
two hit, 19 strike out ball game
against Martin Luther college last
Wednesday afternoon at Dunning,
as the Royals won 7-6 in ten in-nings.
Luther scored all their runs in
the first, as three errors, all on
easy plays, didn't help Stahnke
at all.
The Royals scored once in the
first and once in the third but
couldn't get any more until the
eighth when they tied it up.
In the bottom of the ninth,
Baurle got his second hit of the
game, but he died on second. In
the deciding tenth, Larson led off
with a solid single and Stahnke
got on when the shortstop booted
his grounder. Larson was immed-iately
picked off second, but the
shortstop kicked another which set
the stage for Les Borms. He sin-gled
sharply over second and drove
in Stahnke for the winning run.
Brunzell started it all with the
first of his five hits, and Albright,
Baurle, and Berg, Inc., pounded
Luther pitchers all afternoon as
the Royals romped to a 25-10 vic-tory
last Saturday.
The Rolays dropped in a total
of 27 hits, including five doubles
and four triples to give Bob Porn-merenke
an easy time in coasting
to his second victory of the sea-son.
Ken Albright led the club with
six hits in seven at bats, Brun-zell
got five, Baurle went four for
four including two triples, and
Berg went three for five.
Not only did every regular hit
safely, but they fielded the best
of the season. Albright made some
very nice plays on hard ground
balls and Baurle started a first
to second to first double play that
helped Pommerenke early in the
game when it looked like it might
be a contest.
Luther got eleven hits, three by
Raabe including a triple with the
bases loaded. But the Royals, un-like
their first game, wore their
hitting clothes from the start, and
handed Luther their second defeat
of the year.

the CLARION
Tuesday, May 7, 1957
First Class
Rate Given
To CLARION
A first class rank was recently
assigned to the CLARION for the
first half of the school year by
the critical service of the Associa-ted
Collegiate Press.
Higher ratings in coverage, bal-ance,
and treatment of the news
scored many of the 65 additional
points necessary to raise the
CLARION from second class rat-ing.,
which it has received since it
joined ACP in the school year,
1954-55. Other areas of improve-ment
were photography, sports
coverage and writing, and the con-tent
of features and speech and
interview stories.
Lower scores than usual were re-ceived
on editorials, where the
main criticism was lack of con-cern
with school problems, balance
of the feature page, and headlines.
This semi-annual service criti-cizes
the paper in the content and
style of articles—news, features,
editorials, sports, and others—and
the overall physical properties, in-cluding
headlines, photography,
and typography. The ratings, from
all-American to third class, are
determined by a point system.
The CLARION as a bi-weekly
paper in a school with an enroll-ment
of 500 - 1,000, was in compe-tion
with 37 other schools in its
class.
Students Used
As Counsellors
The administration announced
recently that several upper-class
or graduate students will be used
as resident counsellors in each of
the dormitories next year.
Those persons interested in such
positions should contact Elving
Anderson, dean of students, in the
Student Affairs office.
This is part of a program simi-lar
to that of other schools for us-ing
upper-class or older students
in guidance and orientation work.
It is also another extension of the
counselling program that is being
developed here.
Dean Anderson stated that the
responsibilities of these counsellors
have not been definitely formulat-ed
but that they will help plan
dormitory activities, be available
to help with personal problems, be
able to refer students to other
staff for particular problems, and
help in the general orientation of
new students to campus life.
Students interested should con-tact
and fill out applications in the
student affairs office.
A letter from Pres. Lundquist
to the Student Senate regarding
next year's English department
was read at the Senate meeting,
April 25, by Pres. Glenn Ogren.
The letter was in answer to a
request from the Senate for such
information.
The Senate voted to publish the
pertinent sections of the letter in
the CLARION, as a method of
communicating this information to
the student body:
"I would be happy to have you
pass on the information that the
Administration is deeply concerned
about keeping the Department of
English on the high level to which
it has been lifted by its present
leadership. It is one of the strong
Departments at Bethel and we are
anxious that it continue to be so.
"We are hopeful that all of our
part-time teaching staff in that
Department may be gradually re-placed
with competent and quali-fied
full-time personnel as the
Department continues to grow. We
are hopeful that several of these
shall be individuals of experience
who already possess their doc-toral
degrees in the area.
"It is our expectation that we
Dr. Anderson
To Participate
In U. Project
V. Elving Anderson, assoc-iate
professor of zoology and
chairman of the Department of
Biology, will be participating in
the cerebral palsy project at the
University of Minnesota next year.
This project, sponsored by the
National Institute of Health and
under a five-year grant from the
national government, is "an at-tempt
to explore the causes of
cerebral palsy," Dr. Anderson
stated.
Four areas of study will be in-cluded
in the project: pediatrics,
neurology, obstetrics and gynec-ology,
and genetics. Dr. Anderson
will be working in the area of
genetics.
An extensive study will be made
of factors related to birth, Dr.
Anderson explained. Cerebral palsy
cases in this area will be subjects
of analysis and the health histor-ies
of their families will be traced.
shall be applying for regional ac-creditation
on July 1, 1958, and
we want every Department to be
as solidified as possible by then.
"I appreciate the inquiry re-garding
shifts in personnel but
feel that it is inadvisable to dis-cuss
these yet in view of the nego-tiations
currently going on with a
number of potential faculty mem-bers
in several fields. At the pro-per
time we shall want to indicate
to our students any personnel
changes or additions for the next
academic year. I trust you will
have patience."
Three things were prominent in
this letter:
1. The desire of the Administra-tion
to keep the English Depart-ment
at the present high level.
2. The application for accredi-tation
on July 1, 1958.
3. The inadvisability of disclos-ing
faculty changes at this time.
Pres. Lundquist also stated that
he would be glad to talk to any
student personally on these mat-ters.
