Warnholtz
Displays Art
Focal point of Fine Arts inter-est
on campus recehtly has been
the display of art by Dean Warn-holtz
in the student lounge area
of the college building. Art work
includes oil paintings, wood-cuts,
and silk-screen drawings. The ex-hibition
may be seen until April
1.
Artist Dean Warnholtz, from
Carleton college, Northfield, has
been associate professor of art
since 1949. He earned his bachelor
of fine arts degree from the Uni-versity
of Iowa in 1947 and his
master's degree in 1949.
In hopes of starting a perman-ent
collection, the cultural council
has purchased a print by Eugene
Larkin, "The Violinist." This ar-tistic
work was shown in sixteen
major museums last fall; one copy
is in the permanent collection of
the National gallery in Washing-ton,
D.C. Walker Art center in
Minneapolis owns a wood-cut of
"The Violinist."
To expand the proposed collec-tion,
the cultural council also plans
to purchase one of the Dean Warn-holtz
compositions now on display.
appeal, this performance has vis-ual
attraction as well. They do
both total and semi-chorus work,
a type of choral reading unique in
the United States.
This group of fifty performers
was founded two decades ago by
the director, Miss Owen. The
group has traveled extensively
throughout the upper midwestern
United States.
The program will include selec-tions
by James Thurber and Carl
Sandburg. Such essays as "My
Romance" and Miss Owen's "Cas-ual
Approach to Violence" will be
performed. The light touch will be
provided by "The Beau That
Wasn't" and "Some Gaities."
Miss Owen is the chairman of
the speech department at Macal-ester
as well as the director of
the Macalester theatre.
Casting has been completed and
announced for "The Barretts of
Wimpole Street," which will be
produced by the drama workshop
class on April 29 and 30, at 8 p.m.
in the fieldhouse.
Inez Welch will play Elizabeth
Barrett, with Bill Malam as her
domineering father. Tom Johnson
will play Robert Browning.
Joanne Heckman will be Hen-rietta
Barrett; and Maurine Herou
her sister, Arabel. Elizabeth's doc-
Bryant, and Wayne Kindall.
Dr. Richard Curtis, associate
professor of speech, is directing
the play.
College seniors, take notice! The

International
Fellowship
March 26
World Mission fellowship will
sponsor an international dinner and
music festival on March 26 at 7:30
p.m. in the dining hall. Foreign
foods will be served for the din-ner.
According to Bob Lenz, WMF
vice-president, Bethel students will
have an opportunity to invite for-eign
students to attend the dinner
with them. Interested students
should contact dormitory repre-sentatives
for names of foreign
students: Ed Tegenfeldt, Edgren
residence; Mary Lou Wick, Bodien
residence; and Ed Erickson, Hag-strom
residence. WMF officers
may also be contacted for names.
When a student receives a name,
he contacts the foreign student,
and makes arrangements for the
evening.
Any student who brings a for-eign
student will be admitted free.
Others will be charged a nominal
fee.
The regular dinner hour will be
moved ahead for those who are
eating on the regular meal plan.
senting all of the major employ-ment
fields, with many major
companies being represented. Some
companies will be interviewing
seniors for jobs.
The purpose of the Career Fes-tival
is "to offer vocational guid-ance
to the young people of this
area through the medium of ex-hibits,
films, literature and con-ferences,
in an informal yet ser-ious
atmosphere and aesthetic set-ting."
Questions will be answered by
representatives of business, indus-try,
government, and the profes-sions.
The festival will offer a general
approach to all the major fields to
those with few or no career ideas;
a chance to further explore and
crystalize vocational choices al-ready
made; and an opportunity
for those with definite goals to
effect the first employment con-tact.
It will serve to acquaint high
school and college students with
potential vocations and to make
them aware of opportunities in
many vocations.
Civil Service
Exams Now
Today, March 17, a representa-tive
of the Minnesota State Civil
service is on campus. There is still
time for any senior who is inter-ested
in civil service to schedule
an appointment in the student af-fairs
office. The college senior
placement examination through
the Minnesota State Civil service
is the basis for these interviews.
Civil service provides an oppor-tunity
for on-the-job-training and
affords excellent opportunities for
advancement.

Luckman Crowned
King of Minnesota
On March '5, Stewart Luckman, college senior,
became "King Stu I of Minnesota." He was crowned
at the top of the Hennepin county courthouse stairs
by Ian Paterson "with all the power vested in me."
A trumpet race-track fanfare by Curt Lund
brought Minneapolis mayor P. Kenneth Peterson
out of the building.
Mayor Peterson shook hands with Luckman and
then greeted "Bishop" Homer A. Tomlinson, of the
Church of God, who had just arrived to crown him-self
King of Minnesota.
Tomlinson had crowned himself in "100 coun-tries
and 17 states," and was touring the country
in his campaign for the United States presidency
(see page two). Tomlinson, undaunted, went ahead
with his own crowning ceremony, but was interrupt-ed
by Luckman who accused the bishop of "usurp-ing"
his throne.
Tomlinson acknowledged Luckman, saying that
he was King Stu's loyal subject when in Minnesota.
But the little man, who "felt an anointing" as "King
of the World" in 1954 still persisted in crowning
himself.
Mayor Peterson, who remained through the bat-tle,
stood midst loyal followers of King Stu—Knights
of the Royal Garter. Luckman bestowed this title
on them in a mass pronouncement closely following
his coronation.
The episode was seen throughout the Twin City
area by the means of television coverage. The news
broadcasts were watched with special interest on
the campus sets and in several homes of the Bethel
family.
Knights of the Royal Garter: Ian Paterson,
crowner, Phil Peterson, crown bearer, Conrad Wood-all,
court photographer, Curt Lund, bugler, and
John Carlson, chaplain.

(On March 12, King Stu made it known to

Mayor Peterson for knighthood. We do not con-sider
this to be a campaign issue, so we reserve
the right to reject pleas from gubernatorial can-didates
for equal space.—Editor)

We Visit the Bishop
Dr. William F. Albright was on
the Bethel campus last week to
deliver a series of four lectures
on archaeological study — specifi-cally
the Dead Sea scrolls. For his
appearance we can thank the con-vocation
committee, the Danforth
foundation and the American As-sociation
of Colleges.
There are also some things to
thank Dr. Albright for; some
things that might not be apparent.
Of course, to those well informed
in archaeology, paleography and
Scriptural origins, the lectures
were highly informative.
But there was a portion—an un-derstandably
large portion—of the
listeners who lost much of what
was said. This was due to the
necessarily high degree of diffi-cult
terminology involved.
But this lesser informed group
should have at least caught some
thought-provoking points in Dr.
Albright's general statements.
Unfortunately, the word "apa-thy"
has been brought up again.
"Apathy" is something like "din-ing
hall;" it is talked about every
year.
A few issues back, the CLAR-ION
ran a humorous article by
Plain Just on the topic. In this
issue a letter to the editor appears
that criticizes the student senate
and it is from a senate member.
So, apparently the disease must
At this time of the year—soon
we will have student senate elec-tions—
we should evaluate the pre-sent
senate's work.
In general, the Bethel student
senate is a representative body
that acts as a means of communi-cation
between students and the
faculty and administration; it is
also responsible for certain extra-curricular
functions on campus.
This is to be a limited evalua-tion
concentrating on the negative
points in this year's programming.
The senate has four councils,
chairmen appointed,—athletic, cul-tural,
religious, and social. These
names suggest that there is an
over-all pattern designed to pro-vide
activity in four important
areas of life.
The cultural council has done
fairly well in providing cultural
things to see, but Bethel students
have done little, if any, appreciat-ing
of culture from the partici-pation
angle.
The religious council has done
If these general statements were
missed, the listener would still have
been confronted with the complexi-ties
in Dr. Albright's field of
study. This is especially important
with regard to Scriptural origins
and interpretation. The implica-tions
of these complexities must
provoke question.
These questions, significant to
the Christian's belief, must be con-sidered.
Part of the college exper-ience
is examination of the im-portant
phases of one's life; mat-ters
and basis of faith are import-ant.
"Never be so sure that you can't
change your mind," a father once
said to his son. The application
of this homespun principle is ob-vious.
Over and above the facts for
learning and food for thought, Dr.
Albright's visit enabled us to see
and hear an outstanding scholar.
This alone is a privilege and an
inspiration.
be upon us. Apathy is here—offi-cially.
Who will be eligible and inter-ested
to run for student senate of-fice
? Who will head the councils ?
Who will publish the yearbook and
newspaper? Someone will turn up
no doubt; someone always does.
But, while Bethel followers ask
us directions to their leaders, we
cannot help but wonder where to
send them.
little in a wide-spread way for in-dividuals
on campus. Tracts, street
meetings, and gospel teams bene-fit
those involved, but how many
participate ?
The social council has been guilty
of presenting few social oppor-tunities.
It is difficult to under-stand
the high degree of sociabil-ity
in the Bethel family in the
light of the number of social
events.
Obviously we don't expect any
specific area of our lives to be en-tirely
cared for by a council, but
it can't be denied that one char-acteristic
has been in evidence with
each council's activity: sparcity.
In the future, planners should
consider to a greater extent the
degree to which each individual
depends on them and gear their
"area" accordingly. Consideration
should be made in regard to these
observations when students decide
on student senate officers, who in
turn appoint the next year's coun-cil
chairmen.
We went to Bishop Homer A.
Tomlinson's press conference on
March 5, his coronation day (see
page one), and talked to him for
a while. We weren't the only ones,
for television station KSTP con-sidered
the bishop important
enough for a filmed interview,
which they were involved in when
we arrived.
We thought the television fel-lows
did a nice job of remaining
remarkably serious, but one of
them grinned broadly when we
caught his eyes while the bishop
was occupied in other ways (don-ning
a robe).
Letters to
the Editor
Royal Thanks
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank all those
co-operating in the memorable
event which took place March 5
on the Hennepin county court
house steps. This was the most.
My blessings on you all.
His Grace,
King Stu I
YDFL Praised
To the Editor:
While the student senate is cur-rently
attempting to discuss vig-orously
(and eventually combat)
student apathy, a "small, partisan
campus political group" sponsored
last Friday evening the excellent
film, "Cry, the Beloved Country."
Although unfortunately marred by
technical difficulties, this well-at-tended
presentation could very well
have been put on by either the re-ligious
or the cultural council.
The Bethel YDFL organization
is to be highly commended for
the number, quality, and value of
its programs during this school
year. In my opinion, this group
relative to its small membership
and limited financial resources has
contributed significantly more to
the total campus program than any
other student organization, in-cluding
the senate councils.
Evan Rogers
Pep Song?
Dear Editor,
I write concerning the school
song which was presented to the
student body at the final basket-ball
game and proposed to us in
the last edition of the CLARION.
Most colleges with which I have
been acquainted have two songs, a
pep song plus a regular school
song. The pep song is a dashing
rouser which emphatically urges
by Plain Just
We discussed his platform with
him, for we had read the publica-tion,
"The Church of God" which
is edited by a Homer A. Tomlin-son.
We asked him about the relation
of church and state and he pro-duced
the April 1 issue of the
above-mentioned publication which
bore the headline, "Comes Now
the Reunion of Church and State—
King David's Throne the Pattern
for 1960." We figured this would
answer our question, so we stuffed
the document in our pocket and
continued.
the team on to victory and declares
in no uncertain terms that yes-we-will-
win-this-game and fight-fight-fight!
The school song, on the other
hand, is a nostalgic one that hon-ors
the school and declares loyalty
to it. This is usually sung at the
game half-time with the lights
lowered, at assemblies, reunions,
homecoming, etc. It is a remem-brance
that grads can take with
them; when they sing it they re-member
affectionately the four
great years they had and perhaps
send a contribution.
Now, the song that Mr. Leafblad
wrote is, in my opinion, neither of
these. It is more or less a compo-site
of the two ideas.
"In point 11 of your platform
you state that the rich will give
to the poor voluntarily; isn't this
a little contradictory ? We mean,
how do you 'enforce' something
like this ?" The bishop started on
an answer that had something to
do with miracles.
We cut him off with a question
concerning his tax proposal: "10%
instead of present 55%." The
bishop thought that, if 10% was
good for King David, 10% was
good enough for him.
He told us, during the course
of conversation, that he had want-ed
to enter the Wisconsin primary
with Kennedy and Humphrey. They
wouldn't let him, but he still
thought he would have had a
chance as a dark horse.
When the bishop said that he
thought it rather useless to op-pose
Nixon, one of our friends
asked him if Nixon couldn't be
beaten by miracles. The bishop
kind of dropped the primary talk
and was soon telling us of the
time that Somebody, the sixth, had
traded thrones with him in Mor-occo.
Well, we had heard of the big
crowning to precede the bishop's,
so we excused ourselves.
As we left the room, managing
to avoid shaking the bishop's hand,
we couldn't help but wonder who
we would vote for — Homer A.
Tomlinson or a Catholic.
Surely there is something else
that can be done to remedy the
situation.
Since the majority of contestants
in the previous contest were from
music theory classes, perhaps they
can be induced to discuss the mat-ter
further and come up with some-thing
more satisfactory.
Seeing that we will not need a
song till next fall, maybe some-thing
could be worked on over the
summer.
Perhaps a slightly higher re-ward
could be offered to stimulate
creativity.

Billy Graham
Film Shown
"Fire on the Heather," a Billy
Graham film, will be shown on
Bethel campus April 8, by the re-ligious
council.
This film is the historical ac-count
of Scotland's stuggle for
religious freedom. It shows the in-troduction
of Christianity to the
Scots by Calumba, the feud be-tween
John Knox and Mary Queen
of Scots and the death of John
Brown, a priesthill. It was filmed
in Scotland with an all-Scottish
cast featuring the Billy Graham
team.
Defense Loan
Clifford Anderson, dean of stu-dents,
requests that students in-terested
in the National Defense
student loan should apply in the
student affairs office soon.
Recipients of the loan are se-lected
by the college and must be
needy full-time students. Special
consideration is given to students
with a desire to teach in elemen-tary
or secondary schools.
For further information consult
the college catalog or contact Dean
Anderson.
Fully aware of the reasons for
alarm at the idea of a Roman
Catholic being president of a demo-cratic
government, Walfred H.
Peterson, associate professor of
political science in the college, gave
two main reasons why one might
conscientiously vote for a Catho-lic.
Dr. Peterson spoke an "A Catho-lic
for President ?" at the March
8 meeting of the Bethel Young
Democrat-Farmer-Labor club.
The usual reasons for concern in
this area Dr. Peterson feels are
as follows: the long history of op-position;
dissatisfaction by the sup-porters
of freedom of religion;
their general lack of concern for
Room Applications
Room applications for the school
year 1960-61 are now being accept-ed

democratic liberties; a fear of
domination of the Church hier-archy;
and the danger of Catholic
nepotism.
These beliefs are somewhat re-futed
with this two-fold statement
by Dr. Peterson, "When you vote
for a Catholic you don't necessar-ily
vote for one political stand—
there are Catholics at all points on
the political continuum. Even if a
Catholic were elected there would
not be the kind of nightmare of
evil consequences that some believe
would occur."
"What if a Catholic is elected?
—well, I'm not certain." Dr. Pet-erson
also said that not much can
happen as far as church and state
Summer Jobs
The Student Affairs Office is
constantly receiving brochures for

relations go, because the U.S. gov-ernment
is very complicated. The
founding fathers were suspicious
of the people and afraid of major-ity
democracy so they set up our
present system of an independent
executive, senate, and house of
representatives and state govern-ments
which are elected by the
people for a definite term of office
and the judicial branch which is
selected by the president for life.
"Due to these facts the govern-ment
can't change drastically, even
if a Catholic were elected."

are not on the national level but
at the state level.
There are political alternatives
which are crucial. For instance,
some Protestants have had the
rule, "never vote for a Catholic,"
so impressed upon them that they
would vote for the other man as
the "lesser of two evils." Dr. Pet-erson's
illustrations pointed out
that a Catholic might be the lesser
of two evils. For example, in
France this could be very danger-ous
where there might be a Catho-lic
running against a Communist.
"Separation of church and state
is not the only issue. When you
select a candidate remember that
Protestants and Catholics agree
on many political issues and laws,
and in many areas the Church has
no stand."
Travel Rates
For Students
A lot of opportunities are float-ing
around for summer tours if
you happen to have the time and
money. A 52-day study tour of
Latin America may be had for
$590. The price includes all trans-portation,
accomodations, three
meals a day, sightseeing and even-ing
entertainment. In each coun-try
there will be discussions with

private industry, the clergy,
universities, and the student move-ments.
Another new feature is Drive-
It-Yourself on a conducted tour of
Europe. The Dauphine tour will
spend 80 days abroad visiting Hol-land,
France, Spain, Italy and
Switzerland. Sailing date on the
"SS UNITED STATES" is June 24.
Two Volkswagen Tours, leaving
from New York and Montreal will
travel to Belgium, France, Ger-many,
Italy, Austria, and Switzer-land.

Sports fans all over the country are looking forward to the spring
and summer sports to swing into action, and so are we here at Bethel.
In the past years this season has brought some success in athletics
to the Bethel campus. Last year's track team came within one half
point of capturing the Badger-Gopher Conference championship. As we
look at this year's team we can't help but see that a lack of experience
on the part of most of the team members may make a big difference.
With only six lettermen returning the team will have a lot of rebuild-ing
to do this year.
The baseball team did not have a very strong season last year but
has picked up some new boys, and they are looking forward to a success-ful
season.
The tennis and golf teams will also soon be starting their practice
sessions.
Added Basketball Statistics
Here are some interesting notes about the basketball season as
published in a news release written by Bob Spatt of Lakeland college:
Two pre-season favorites for the Badger-Gopher Conference cage
crown, made the experts look good this winter by sharing the loop crown
with identical 9-1 records.
Bethel was the top offensive team in the conference with an aver-age
of 79.9 points per game and Northland bagged defensive honors with
a yield of 61 points per tilt. Oddly enough, the two teams had the same
winning point spreads (16.6) for the season.
Pillsbury, which failed to win a game for the second straight year,
showed vast improvement but still managed to post the worst offensive
and defensive marks. The tail-enders averaged only 59.6 points and
gave up 85.3 for a minus spread of 25.7.

Baseball Team Begins
Indoor Spring Training
Now that the football and bas-ketball
seasons are all wrapped up,
and winter supposedly soon over,
spring will bring the final chapter
in the Bethel sports year, includ-ing
baseball. And winter or no
winter, spring training has begun.
The basketball team had barely
finished shooting their last basket
when the Bethel baseball squad,
headed by Coach Lynn Lundin,
turned the fieldhouse into their
grassless spring training quarters.
The boys have to resign themselves
to getting just their arms and legs
in shape for now, and wait until
the snow finally disappears before
they can perfect their batting eyes
outside.
Bethel will begin the 1960 sea-son
by taking on Hamline after
the Easter vacation. Coach Lundin
stated that Hamline didn't have
an extraordinary ball club, and if

BB Players Given
Awards in Chapel
A successful basketball season was climaxed and brought to an end
this morning in chapel when Coach Healy awarded the various players
their deserved awards.
For the first time in the history of Bethel basketball the most valu-able
player award was given to two players. In a vote by the basketball
team members a tie occurred in the selection, therefore, the award was
given to both Wayne Kindall and Truman Turnquist.
Kindall, this year's star rebounder and pivot man played outstand-ing
ball in helping the Royal's compile an equally outstanding record.
Turnquist, captain of this year's
team, played excellent ball from
his forward position throughout
the entire season.
The captain of next year's team
was then announced by Mr. Healy
to be John Peterson. John is best
remembered for his performance
in the final game of the season
when he netted 28 points and cap-tured
25 rebounds. He, of course,
played top-notch ball all season.
The letter award given by Mr.
Healy went to Dan Nelson, Tru-man
Turnquist, Wayne Kindall, Les
Bonus, Byron Lindaman, John Peterson, Mery Sheplee, Dick Larson,
Curt Lund, Lee Bajuniemi, and Jim Ekblad. A managers letter was
awarded to Lyle Anderson for his fine work, as manager of this year's
champion team. Numeral winners were Curt Sanborn, Dave Peterman,
Dennis Wahlstrom, and Jim Wynia.
we got some good pitching, our
team would have no trouble win-ning.
Mr. Lundin added that pitch-ing
would be the deciding factor
in this year's season, and if we
get good pitching, we should have
no trouble bettering last year's
.500 percentage.
When asked about the team's
past hitting record, Coach Lundin
said that he had been quite satis-fied
with the team's hitting in the
past several years, and that this
year should be no exception. He
also added that he hadn't seen too
much of the new "rookies" and
most of the positions were still
pretty much wide open. Mr. Lun-din
said he wasn't sure how many
returning players he would have,
but among them would be Tang
Wynia, Mery Sheplee and Captain
Al Penner.
