Upgren Convo
To Discuss
Market Plan
The "Common Market" will be
the topic of a convocation at 10
a.m. on Apr. 11. Dr. Arthur R. Up-gren,
professor of Economics at
Macalester college will be the
speaker. Dr. Upgren received his
Ph.D. from the University of Min-nesota.
He has served on the fac-ulty
there as well as at Dartmouth.
He has been economic consultant
for the Star Journal and has
taught a televised economics
course. He is the author of popular
and scholarly books in economics
and is widely used by business or-ganizations
as a lecturer.
The "Common Market" is an as-sociation
of European states for
the purpose of integrating their
economies by means of gradual tar-iff
reduction among themselves.
This issue will be very much alive
in the next few months as Con-gress
evaluates reciprocal tariff
laws.
Chapel Offering
Goes to Missions
The Religious Council has select-ed
the United Missions for Christ
Fund to be the recipient of this
semester's weekly chapel offer-ings.
This fund is divided propor-tionately
among the various boards
of the Baptist General Conference
for its total missionary program.
Offerings so far this year have
been collected for two projects:
the first purchased booklets of
Founder's Week sermons for mis-sionaries,
and the second provided
$2,500 for the purchase of an elec-tric
generator for the Harasinga
mission compound.
Classes will dismiss for Easter
vacation at 5 p.m. on Apr. 19, and
will resume at 8 a.m. on May 1.
Beginning with the evening meal
on Thursday, Apr. 19, the dining
hall will follow a modified schedule.
The dining hall will be closed all
day Easter Sunday, Apr. 22. Bag
lunches will be provided for those
who work through the evening
meal.
Dr. Samuel Mathai, a distin-guished
Indian educator, will be
on the campus of Bethel college
and seminary on Mar. 27 and 28.
His wife will accompany him on
this visit.
Tuesday evening at 8 p.m., Dr.
Mathai will give a public lecture on
"Social and Educational Forces
Working for Change in Contem-porary
India." At 10 a.m. Wed-nesday,
he will speak on "Indian
Higher Education Faces the Fu-ture."
Dr. Mathai was born in Kerala,
South India, and has studied at
Wilson college in Bombay and at
Hertford college, Oxford. He has
taught at several institutions of
higher learning, including the Uni-versity
of Delhi.
In 1953, Dr. Mathai was appoint-ed
as the first secretary of the
Senior Wins
Oratory Prize
Cal Mortenson, college senior
from Denver, Colorado, won first
place in the oratorical competition
held at the University of Wiscon-sin,
Mar. 10, 1962.
Thirty colleges and universities
were represented at the forensic
tournament, and in preliminary
competition, Mortenson defeated
Purdue university, the University
of Wisconsin and its Extension
Center, and the University of
Hawaii.
Three schools reached the finals
competition, in which Bethel plac-ed
first, Wheaton college was rated
second, and Indiana State received
third.
Following the finals, Mortenson
was the featured speaker at a ban-quet
for the debate coaches and
tournament participants. His ora-tion,
"The New Freedom," urged
community action in the pressur-ing
of local theaters to reduce the
prominance of adult only films.
Mortenson's oration also took
first place honors at the recent
forensic contest held at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota in which all
colleges in the state competed.

Vote Hinges on Individuals
For the first time in several years, there was hope that partisan
politics would be reasserted on campus. However, after a look at the
respective party platforms, hope is somewhat dim.
Each party seems to be in favor of Good, decries evil, and plans
to run the senate if elected. Furthermore, the problems of the world,
described in multitudinous high-flown phrases, demand action. Finally,
publications must have adequate funds and Twin Cities' student govern-ments
must keep on exchanging ideas.
This is enlightening—in a negative way.
Student politics at Bethel do not, and evidently will not, revolve
around issues. Therefore, we plead for students to intelligently and
thoughtfully use their only remaining differential criteria: the total
person—abilities, standards, interests.
The election must not be turned into a contest to elect the most
pleasing people on campus, those whose chief attribute is trying to
agree with anyone and everyone. Each candidate must be evaluated
on his ideas, his willingness to express his ideas, his concern for forming
opinions that are constructive and useful. Finally, a candidate must
be considered for his personal integrity and self-discipline.
We trust that campaign gimmicks and clever posters will not ob-scure
the people involved.
Students Need Contact,
Interaction with Society It may be too obvious to remark that while there is no clear-cut
line of demarcation between that complex of campus-centered activities
called Bethel and the surrounding world, yet many a student returning
to campus after a worthwhile "outside" experience finds himself both
surprised and dismayed at the very real gulf between his familiar
Bethel surroundings and the other world he recently experienced.
Thus, at some time or other, virtually every Bethel student has
considered the proposition that Bethel is a spiritual hothouse, isolated
and withdrawn from mutually profitable interaction with the external
environment in which it exists and which it must leaven.
A college is failing in its educational purpose if it does not provide
experences that challenge a student to realistically confront the com-plex
society that he must serve. A student will not be adequately pre-pared
if he is pampered for four years and suddenly declared strong
enough to interact with his world constructively and effectively. We
must learn to communicate with different segments of society as well
as the groups that think exactly as we do.
The lack of worthwhile intercollegiate experience that is sometimes
sensed at Bethel is largely the result of provincial attitudes rather than
dirth of opportunity.
However, a chance for reform is in the offing. Bethel may host the
NSA spring regional. May we add that this is also the first time that
the Bethel student senate has ever extended an invitation to NSA.
The influx of 100 to 150 students from schools in Minnesota, Wis-consin,
and the Dakotas would call for some adjustments in outlook by
Bethel students. Maybe the first thing to realize is that people are
worth sharing and interacting with, not freaks to be peered at with
suspicion and distrust or ignored. Some of the visiting students will
be in the dorms and Bethel's basic attitudes will be conveyed much more
easily and obviously by friendliness than by a host of "No Smoking"
signs.
Events such as the NSA regional must take place more often at
Bethel so that a majority of the student body can participate in intellect-ually
stimulating, broadening experiences. However, it is also necessary
that it be made more feasible for more students to attend conventions
or conferences related to their major area of study. An increased num-ber
of students attending specialized conferences can be beneficial as
the influx of ideas is apparent in both classroom and extracurricular
activities.

HANDING A LATE 1rF,F4A PAPER. 61
Pope Focuses Concern
On State Responsibility
Dear Editor:
We of the gopherhole recant. In
our last epistle we made the mis-take
of using the word "intellec-tual"
to describe the earnest, hon-est,
Christian seeker of truth,
whose inquiries are centered on
and emanate from his faith in
God. Not that such a person is not
an "intellectual" in the fullest sense
of the word, but our mistake in
using it was that at Bethel the
word seems to reek of suspicion.
Various comments made upon
our last letter, and, more recently,
a letter written by Mr. Carlson,
indicate that at Bethel an "intel-lectual"
is often confused with a
"pseudo-intellectual," that is, one
whose intellectualism has motives
such as self-pride or a negative,
critical attitude.
We readily admit that there are
reasons for this. There have in-deed
been "intellectuals" at Bethel
who have allowed their allegedly
superior intelligence to take a
negative, critical attitude towards
the accepted traditions and mores
of our particular variety of Chris-tianity.
They have not learned that
true intellectualism leads to hum-ility
before God and before men,
even before men whose minds they
consider to be less "enlightened"
than their own.
Bethel's students must learn to
distinguish true intellectual en-deavor
from its corrupted form,
rather than to shun both as equal-ly
bad. Rather than dismissing the
criticisms of all "intellectuals" as
mere claptrap, we should remem-ber
that the criticisms of men like
"Mater et Magistra" is the title
of the encyclical issued by Pope
John XXIII at St. Peters in Rome
on May 25, 1961. It is important
and controversial in that it com-mits
the Catholic church the world
over to an espousal of the modern
welfare state. The encyclical is an
essentially liberal political docu-ment,
insisting that the state has
a duty to further the common
good. The pope is explicit to the
extent of giving a list of tasks
he expects the state to perform.
The encyclical is interesting in the
way it contradicts previous ency-clicals
of popes during the age of
laissez faire.
Many politically conservative
Catholics are extremely disturbed
by "Mater et Magistra." They be-lieve
the pope is advocating social-ism
as an appeasing answer to
Communism. In consideration of
the uncommon public interest that
has been generated by "Mater et
Magistra," St. Thomas college has
been sponsoring a series of lec-
Erasmus, who were probably con-sidered
"pseudo-intellectuals" by
some in their day, are looked upon
today as having been very honest,
and needed, criticisms.
The fear of the Lord is the be-ginning
of wisdom, but this does
not mean that the fear of the Lord
should not continue throughout the
learning process, nor does it mean
that the fear of the Lord is a
guarantee that we know all that
we need to know.

Editor's note : The following
excerpts are from a letter to Mr.
Stephen L. Peterson, student
senate president.
Dear Mr. Peterson:
Before steps are taken to ap-point
new editors for the school
publications or to sign contracts
with photographers and printers,
tures on "Recent Developments of
the Social Question in the Light
of Christian Teaching." The series
is noteworthy in its selection of
speakers who are the top American
Catholic scholars in their respec-tive
fields.
Rev. Cowley, opening the series,
thought "Mater et Magistra" a
timely call for general reconstruc-tion
of social relations. Dr. Abell,
president of the American Catholic
Historical Association, interpreted
the pontiff to be "insisting that
the contract of work in large con-cerns
be moderated by one of part-nership
in profits, ownership, and
management . . • the aim is not to
enthrone socialism or communism
but to re-establish private enter-prise
through the co-operation of
like-minded persons working inde-pendently
of government."
Rev. Mulcahy made the sharp
statement that "Mater et Magis-tra"
introduces officially into
Catholic thought the notion of uni-
I hope the senate and the newly-formed
board of publications will
carefully re-study the whole ques-tion
of student publications.
At present we are concerned
with three publications, as follows:
1. The Clarion. As you well
know, this paper serves as a med-ium
for the free expression of stu-dent
opinion. From the inclusive
fee the Clarion receives a mere $4
per student. On this small income,
the staff can do nothing better
than publish a limited, semi-monthly
paper. A more generous
budget could open the way to a
more effective, weekly paper.
2. The Spire. After watching this
year's staff I am confident that
the 1962 Spire will be of a high
quality. Yet several distinct prob-
(cont'd. on p. 3)
versal good—as distinct from the
national good. With this as the new
ethic at which to aim, it is easy
to see how two major contemporary
developments have provided the
occasion for state action in the
economic order: first, recent scien-tific
advances in a variety of fields
have underscored the inequality and
unbalance between industry and
agriculture within countries as well
as between countries; second, new
sciences, especially economics, and
technologies have given to public
authorities "the means of instru-ments
with which to reduce this
inequality . . . it has become with-in
the state's capacity to control
fluctuations in the economy and
to prevent massive unemploy-ment."
But as economic and social func-tions
of the state enlarge, prob-lems
of safeguarding the rights of
individuals come to the forefront.
Rev. Mulcahy synthesized four
guideposts to be observed in this
regard. He first stated the basic
theme that the state never be
allowed to infringe upon the per-sonal
rights of the individual. But
he added that a person cannot
consider his rights "absolute."
Another restraining influence
should be the principal of subsid-iarity,
which means that a lower
social institution is more immed-iately
responsible for meeting need
than is a higher. Also, it must be
kept in mind that state aid should
never be used until a "real need"
exists. The last guiding rein he
gave for the states' spending poli-cies
is that there should be re-spect
for the culture of the spe-cific
areas being helped.
Thus, while giving impetus to
Catholic support of the welfare
state, "Mater et Magistra" still
calls for the protection of the in-dividual
from the state. There will
be room for disagreement within
Catholic circles of specific govern-mental
programs. Were it not for
this fact, the politically conserva-tive
Catholic would be in a most
distressing position.
There are two remaining lec-tures
dealing with the problems of
population and international socie-tal
structure. The meetings are
presently set at 8:15 p.m, in Mur-ray
Hall Lounge on Apr. 12 and
May 23, respectively.

Christian Love Demands Increased
Social Awareness for Individual, Group
by Robert Clark Nelson
The photographer sees the world
with three eyes. One of them is
his camera. The two he was born
with are the same in structure and
function as all other human eyes.
However, one cannot conclude that
it is the camera that makes the
difference.
The additional glass eye is not
a mechanical magic wand that any-one
can wave and produce good
pictures. The difference lies in the
viewer, not the view-finder. For all
people may look, but not all peo-ple
see. In this the sight of the
sensitive photographer is similar
to the artist; the area of insight.
The invention of the glassy stare
genesised the value that a new way
of recording or imitating reality
had been developed. The real be-came
equated with the photograph.
The photographer pointed at
things, and his glassy wink made
a record that could be looked at at
some future date. A new kind of
documentation had been developed.
And people have been pointing at
things ever since. Nostalgia became
the sole motive for photography;
here at last was a device for re-cording
reality with the future pos-sibility
of looking back to it. Pho-tography
became a prophetic de-vice
for historic reflection.
Indeed the sale of cameras is
based on this extrinsic reflective
ability. But not all photographers
accepted this view. The camera for
this other group is a creative pos-sibility
of intrinsic dimension.
Such is the work in the exhibition
currently in the Bethel student
lounge. "Photographers 3" is the
work of 3 Bethel students, Barbara
Carlson, LeRoy Hansen and John
Scutt, who together reveal this
new way of seeing reality.
Reality is usually associated
with shapes, which is the exterior
edge or boundary of objects. It is
believed (or so practiced by the
majority) that meaning lay in
recognizing or relating to these
edges. It is the boundaries of the
tree that usually carries the sig-nificance.
It gives rise to pleasant
feelings and memories of other
trees in one's past experience.
The whole outer edge must be
present, not in order for trees to
be present or recognized, but for
memories to be primed. The bound-less,
intricate patterns and the
rhythms in the bark and the nega-tive
space between the branches
do not for the average person re-veal
meaning.
However, the artist has been for
the past sixty years searching this
inner boundless pattern and the
photographer has helped him as he
in turn has helped the photo-grapher.
A world of line, space,
color and texture is awaiting their
gaze, not so much in the bounded
but in the boundless.
Line is the delicate shadow cast
by strips on the side of a barn or
the black steelwork of an oil der-rick
against the white sky. Tex-ture
is a dark, shallow pond filled
with dead leaves and twigs or frost
on a window pane and sunlight
dancing on the edges of a stacked
snow fence.
Such revelations are all in
"Photographers 3" and much more.
While some of the photos leave
something to bt desired in techni-cal
execution, the inner life and
content are clearly experienced.
This excellent exhibition provides
an experience well worth the time
spent to study it.

With posters, believable and un-believable,
staring from every
available flat surface on campus,
Political Emphasis week could
hardly escape anyone's notice.
Though it may be regarded as
merely an opportunity to augment
the importance of the annual sen-ate
elections, this week is also in-tended
to make at least a small
crack in our individualistic shells,
through which we may get a
glimpse of at least the political
aspect of the world outside.
Such an increased social aware-ness
can be very directly related
to Christian ideals. These do not
imply a sort of vague humanitar-ianism,
mawkishly bemoaning the
ills of society (Dickens may be dis-liked
for reasons other than his
fiction writing). Rather, Christian
social concern should be viewed
as an active, dynamic involvement
in the needs of other people—a
giving of self to other people.
Christian love should involve pri-marily
a sensitivity to others which
leads to simple helpfulness. Re-casting
James' timeless example,
and possibly also the good Samari-tan,
how significant would it be
to wish God's richest blessing to
someone spinning his car wheels
on a snowy street or to a friend
needing a sympathetic ear for
some deep personal problem and
only trudge on still absorbed in
our own affairs ?
But perhaps it's all different
today. Helper and helped alike are
likely to feel that a "debtor" rela-tionship
has accrued from the
kindly act—and in their embarrass-ment
over this can feel neither
generosity nor thankfulness. This
most un-Christian situation must
not be considered an excuse—but
rather an evil to be abolished.
Christians should also be aware
of community and group needs of
all sorts, and even be in the van-guard
of relief movements. A
glance at history and at modern
America reveals that this has not
been the predominant pattern.
The church has still not thor-oughly
purged itself of its smug,
pseudo-doctrinal aversions to aid-ing
the down-and-outers of society.
Starving human beings, sometimes
working men, have more than once
been sacrificed at the sacred
though unbiblical altar of economic
individualism.

Some hyper-patriots would do
well to squelch an indignant "dirty
Communists!" the next time a
hungry, disease-ridden Asiatic mob
says unkind things about wealthy
America and her capitalists.
Certainly the church should not
now attempt to supplant the Red
Cross, CARE, the March of Dimes,
or WHO, but a little more active
support of such projects — outside
the church as well as within —
would certainly be in order. At the
very least, foreign missions pro-grams
could be expanded.
The Christian, as citizen, should
also feel political responsibility.
He should care enough about the
affairs of his nation to vote, and
to be able to vote intelligently and
morally about both issues and men.
By this time in history, most
Christians recognize that, even if
deep commitment to Christ were
universal, not everyone would ar-rive
at the same, i.e. the "right,"
answers politically. But this does
not mean that a vital, intelligent,
and informed Christian concern
for the triumph of justice and hon-esty
and love, in the order one
views as right, would not have a
salutary effect on national life.
Further, it is certainly appro-priate
for the Christian to partici-pate
more directly in political af-fairs.
Leaving "dirty politics" —
if indeed they be that—to those
least qualified to clean them up
does not appear rational. A Chris-tian's
lily-white hands may not in-dicate
moral purity as much as
placid, immovable unconcern.
Spire Probe
(cont'd. from p. 2)
lems arise with the production of
a yearbook:
(a) The difficulty of enlisting
staff.
(b) The demands of time. The
co-editors and section editors have
sacrificed academic standing in the
noble cause of meeting deadlines.
The problem of the photographers'
scholastic standing has been even
more acute.
(c) The heavy expense. The
Spire draws as much as $7 from
the inclusive fee of eevry student.
But even with additional revenue
from advertisers the available
funds are not sufficient for a high
quality book.
(d) Quality. In spite of the an-ticipated
excellence of this year's
Spire, it must be conceded that the
fluctuating and uncertain quality
of the yearbook in general must
be disappointing to students and
administration alike.
(e) Photography problems.
(f) Value. For even more care-ful
consideration is the doubtful
value of the completed Spire. If the
product has no value beyond its
function as a memory book, then
it is difficult to justify the expen-diture
of time and money on a
large scale. Perhaps the senate
should reflect on the student atti-tude
at this point. Is a Spire pub-

BETHEL STUDENTS GET A 10% DISCOUNT AT
the CLARION
After an. intensive three-year
study of its curricular program and
an analysis of its graduates, Bethel
Seminary faculty have voted to
institute a new curriculum program
beginning next fall.
These evaluatory studies were
initiated in 1958 when the semin-ary
and college curriculum com-mittees
began joint studies on the
integration of pre-theological and
theological studies at Bethel. Tem-porary
adjustments were made in
the seminary's program to the
weaknesses revealed at Bethel as
a result of a comparison with pro-cedures
at thirty-nine other semin-aries.
Convinced, however, that Bethel's
program ought to do more than
conform to standard procedures,
the faculty instructed the curri-culum
committee to project an
ideal program for Bethel, set with-in
the framework of the needs of
the Baptist General conference
pastorates and the distinctiveness
of Bethel itself.
Standing in the background of
this study have been an alumni
opinion inventory, which was a
12 page questionnaire sent to
all graduates and currently en-rolled
students (returns of which
came from 339 graduates and sixty
students), and the report of the
Long Range Planning committee
of the Conference as to its pas-toral
needs of the future.
Also considered was an analysis
of the "composite" picture of Con-ference
churches today with a pro-jected
image of the Conference
church of the future, the projected
needs of the Conference pastor of
the future, and the projected image
of what a Bethel graduate should
be.
From this perspective an inten-sive
analysis of the current pro-gram
was attempted, involving the
whole faculty, and out of this ana-lysis
emerged an articulation of
departmental objectives, within
which the objective of each course
was set.
Some definitive principles to de-termine
the philosophy of the new
curriculum emerged from all of
this study. Some of these are:
1. Integration, bringing as many
related aspects of a study as pos-sible
into one unified and inte-grated
study, as uniting Old Testa-ment
Introduction, Hermeneutics,
Survey and Theology into one
course.
2. Progression, moving from one
level of study to the next through
the inter-relatedness of study,
3. Intra-Faculty Planning, in-volving
the faculty members in the
planning of each course,
4. Intra-Faculty Teaching, shar-ing
of faculty members in teach-ing
particular courses, as in the
combination of certain studies in
church history and systematic
theology,
5. Foundational and Advanced
Levels of Study, the key of the
new curriculum, in which, through
an integrated approach, all "re-quired"
courses in the curriculum
are studies in the first two years,
as foundational courses, with the
senior year free for advanced elec-tive
courses.
The distinction, however, is not
merely that of required or elec-college
girls' clothes

tive, since the advanced courses
are viewed as a different level of
study in which the emphasis is
placed more on student analysis of
the content than on the profes-sional
authority of the lecture
method.
Advanced courses seek to build
upon the foundational courses so
that the student achieves a depth
experience of study in an intensive
area of concentration, calling for
resourcefulness and evaluation.
SPIRE Probed
(cont'd. from p. 3)
lished merely to continue a tradi-tion?
Is it carrying over a high
school activity into a college situa-tion?
What value do we place on
the Spire?
As to an educational benefit, it
must be agreed that in its present
form the yearbook gives good ex-perience
to a few photographers
and to those interested in artistic
layout. Under the circumstances,
the student senate might ask to be
relieved of the responsibility and
the fine arts department asked to
develop what could be for them an
appropriate project.
3. Coeval. Making its first ap-pearance
this year comes a literary
magazine, published under the aus-pices
of the academic council. Such
a medium for student literary ex-pression
is to be encouraged. The
presence of a literary magazine
further means that the Spire is no
longer to be regarded as a possible
ground for literary development,
as had at one time been hoped.
With the above observations in
mind, I would like to pass on some
suggestions:
(a) That you carefully examine
your policy as far as the publica-ttion
of a yearbook in its present
form is concerned.
(b) That you consider possible
alternatives.
(c) That you consider adequate
financial aid for CoevaL
(d) That if necessary, a joint
student-faculty committee be form-ed
to investigate the whole prob-lem.

We of the United Students have
organized to give students the
benefit of a bipartisan political
structure and to express our in-terest
in campus leadership.
The United Students party be-lieves
that the student government,
as an important part of the total
program of Bethel college, should
be active in the initiation and in-tegration
of extra - curricular
thought and experience which will
augment the structured program of
Bethel college in the development
of mature Christian students.
The United Students are con-cerned
that spiritual development
of Bethel students be parallel with
their academic development. We
propose that students consider
their Christian experience in rela-tionship
to:
1. the grave socio-cultural prob-lems
of our church, nation,
and world,
2. the place of the Christian in
the twentieth century society,
and
3. a critical re-examination of
the essential claims and re-sponsibilities
of faith.
Accordingly, we wish to engender
the development of these princi-ples
in the life of the campus.
The United Students also wish
to achieve a well-balanced and
meaningful program of extra-cur-ricular
activities. We propose that
the student life council function
primarily as a coordinating rather
than an initiating body and that it
encourage nd integrate the activi-ties
of the clubs and organizations.
The United Students propose a
program of interaction with other
colleges and universities in the
Twin City area in order to increase
an awareness of academic, cultural,
and religious opportunities and an
exchange of student government
ideas.
We are aware of a need for
greater student participation and
education in the functions and re-sponsibilities
of student govern-ment.
We propose that the student
senate should seek an increased
role of leadership before the stu-dent
body, active participation as
its elected representative body, and
enlargement of the opportunity of
participation in student govern-ment.
The United Students believe that
student government activity must
focus on the development of the
total contribution of Bethel to the
student rather than on the spe-cific
programs and activities of a
given year.

•
A. Organizational Improvements:
1. The RR proposes that the stu-dent
senate increase its participa-tion
with the faculty and admini-stration
in long range building
plans and short term adjustments
in order to perpetuate a stimulat-ing
educational environment on our
expanding campus.
2. Realizing the opportunities
present for more efficient and ef-fective
student government, the RR
seeks whole-hearted implementa-tion
of the new constitution.
3. Fully aware of the potential
involved in beneficial intercolleg-iate
relationships, the RR proposes:
(a.) to evaluate increased co-op-eration
with the American Associa-tion
of Evangelical students and
National Student Association, (b.)
to investigate new movements in
Twin City intercollegiate co-opera-tion,
in order to relate these inter-college
movements to Bethel's
total purpose.
4. The RR proposes the estab-lishment
of greater campus aware-ness
in areas of international and
intranational affairs through the
use of foreign students, current
event suppers, speakers, etc.
5. In view of the fact that the
Clarion and the Spire are integral
parts of the campus experience,
RR encourages adequate financial
support for these two publications
as well as the initiation of proper
support of CoevaL
B. Student Life
1. The RR reaffirms that the
senate, in order to lead the stu-dents
into a more mature and
meaningful Christian experience,
should continue to encourage the
following:
(a.) a truthful understanding of
the basis and development
of our Christian experience.
(b.) an appreciation of the wide
content and contribution of
Protestant thought and tra-dition.
(c.) a personal life of devotion
and commitment equal to
the great demands of our
present world.
2. The RR proposes that the
senate direct student traditions,
attitudes and activities which are
in response to the contemporary
social, political, educational, moral,
and spiritual problems in order to
forward the purposes of Bethel
and develop a well balanced stu-dent.
3. The RR proposes that the sen-ate
align our total student exper-ience
toward helping "each stu-dent
develop a sense of responsi-bility
that will make freedom more
in constructive and dynamic chan-nels."*

Tillich Considers Religion
To Be Search for Reality
by Dr. Clarence B. Bass
Without a doubt the most per-plexing
theology in contemporary
thought is that of Paul Tillich.
Understanding his basic thought
is both difficult and frustrating.
Reared in the liberal tradition of
German humanism, he has reacted
against that liberalism, against
orthodoxy, against neo-orthodoxy,
against neo - Calvinism, against
pietism, against the organized
Church, against theology in gen-eral,
or as one wag has remarked,
against everything except Paul
Tillich.
His reconstruction of religious
thought seeks to find a true un-derstanding
of human existence.
Religion, he asserts, is an aspect
of man's life—a dimension of the
human spirit. One can define re-ligion
by defining the human spirit,
and conversely, one can define the
human spirit by defining religion.
Since man is a cognitive being,
morally aware and culturally in-clined,
religion may be said to be
ultimately a culture. Religion is
"being concerned about that which
we should be ultimately concern-ed."
One looks for religion in the
depths of the human spirit—the
ultimate unconditioned in man's
life.
Religion is, therefore, an aspect
of human existence. It is concern
which loses itself in human con-sciousness,
invading every other
aspect of man's being. It is a long-ing
for reality—an abandoned con-cern
for finding meaning in life.
Religion cannot therefore be
categorized. It cannot be said to be
any specific thing. What it may be
to one person it may not be to an-other.
It cannot be institutional-ized,
organized, or even absolutiz-ed.
It exists only to orient man to
himself, and anything which does
this must be called religion..
The church, the Bible, even the
concept "God" are only incidental
to religion. There is, avows Tillich,
nothing which is unique about the
Christian faith, nor any of its con-cepts.
Reality does not lie in God,
in Christ, in revelation, in "salva-tion"
but in man. Man discovering
himself is the goal of religion, and
anything which helps him to do
this is valid as religion.
It is against this background
that Tillich develops an approach
to understanding religion. Basic to
this approach is the distinction be-tween
sign and symbol. Signs are
only semantic steps to understand-ing,
while symbol "opens up real-ity."
As an illustration, he cites
the difference between the word.
"flag" and the flag itself. Both are
semantic means of communication.
When one recites the word
"flag," nothing really happens —
he is not moved within. When one
sees the flag, however, he feels
the inner spirit of patriotism. The
word "flag" is a sign, while the
actual flag is a symbol. Neither is
really the actual thing for which
they both stand, but the symbol
flag is closer to reality than the
sign flag. They are both incidental
to reality, but nevertheless helpful
in finding it.
The are religious signs and
symbols. The word "God" is a sign.
The experience "God" is a symbol.
Neither is reality. God is therefore
not reality but only a semantic
step to man's discovery of his own
meaningfulness. If God is mean-ingful
to someone, then_ this will
he a meaningful symbol in his re-ligion.
If God is not meaningful to some-one
else, he will find another mean-ingful
symbol, but he will not be
thought less religious because he
does not believe in God, since in
the final analysis religion is the
discovery of self-meaningfulness,
whatever form it may take.
It goes without saying that
Tillich's concept of religion does
not approximate the Bibilcal un-derstanding
of the nature of reli-gion
or the nature of God. Al-though
he has been called the lead-ing
Protestant theologian, his
theology is closer to atheism than
to Christianity.

Halleen Opens
Spring Drills;
Offense Weak
by Rick McNamara
With the opening game less than
three weeks away the Bethel base-ball
team is feverishly working at
its indoor version of spring train-ing
under the direction of Coach
Owen Halleen. Halleen, as usual,
is optimistically pessimistic about
his team's chances to better their
1961 record of 7-6.
Less than 25 candidates reported
for the opening practice but the
coach feels that this year's group
has better overall talent than his
1961 squad. "We should have a
strong defense," Halleen stated,
"but hitting and pitching must re-main
definite questions marks for
the time being."
One or two more pitchers are
desperately needed, particularly in
view of the rough 16-game sched-ule.
Jack McNaughton, last year's
leading run-producer, is gone and
no ready replacement is in sight.
Captain and shortstop Dave Cox
heads the group of nine returning
lettermen. Other lettermen include
right-handers John Holmberg and
Bob Clouse, who should handle the
bulk of the pitching duties, out-fielders
Bob Smith and Lyle An-derson,
and infielders Bob Larson
and Curt Hallstrom.
Don McKelvy, a letter-winner at
the catching post last season, may
be moved to first base to fill Mc-
Naughton's gap, as 1960 letterman
Jerry Oas moves into the receiv-er's
slot.
Hallstrom will probably be the
third baseman while Larson seems
a cinch at second base. Bob Sorley,
1961 numeral winner, is also a
strong candidate for an infield
position.
The pitching depth will have to
come from the newcomers. Most
promising to date appear to be
right-handers Jim Anderson, Dave
Buck, Jim Austin, and Dan Wester-lund.
Other newcomers to the
squad this season include Gene
Brunzell, Larry Hutchison, Harold
Erickson, Tom Sweet, and Gene
Selander.
The season opens Apr. 9 at Ham-line.
The remainder of the present
schedule includes:
April 11. — River Falls

Track mentor Gene Glader re-ports
that 24 men have turned out
for the 1962 track season. Forming
a strong nucleus are the returning
lettermen: Howard Dinsmore,
Bruce D. Erickson, Fred Purcell,
Paul Sloan, and Ron Swanson. Cap-tain
Stan Engstrom, hampered by
a back injury, .will be unable to
participate.
The Royals hope to repeat last
year's threat in the distance events.
Howard Dinsmore, Tom Guy, Nel-son
Otto, Fred Purcell, Dale Rog-ers,
and Paul Sloan provide depth
as well as first-place potential.
Prospects in the sprints and
hurdles are also very encouraging..
If sprinters Jerry Egge, Bruce
Erickson, Dave Hagfeldt, Bob
Hartzell, and Dan Travaille de-liver
as expected, Bethel can look
forward to a successful season in
the 100, 220, and 440. Paul Carlson
adds support to last year's top
hurdler, Ron Swanson.
The field events are a question
mark. With Stan Engstrom side-lined,
the shot putting is left up to
a promising freshman, Jack Buss.
Inexperience handicaps pole vault-ers
Keith Anderson and Myron
Leafblad, who will both be vault-ing
for the first time this season.
The success of this year's team
will depend a great deal on depth.
Unproven beginners, such as Dave
Beek, Bill Damberg, Charles
Erickson, Don Foreman, Paul Nel-son,
and Stan Nelson, could pro-vide
the necessary depth; making
the Royal cindermen a track power
this season.
The schedule to date:

21 — Carlton Relays at Northfield
30 — St. Cloud at St. Cloud

IT PAYS TO LOOK WELL
ISizoiwcaite
by Rick McNamara
The Koffee Kup game (thank the powers-that-be!) is history for
another year, and since everyone is now recovered from the laughing
and groaning of the evening, it might be wise to take a more sober
look at the whole thing and suggest that in future years the program
be revised to include a much shorter ball game ( ? ). I had a good time
too, but let's face it—everything after the appearance of the Bethel
Drill Team was actually quite boring.
The opening one-third of the evening's trilogy was in many ways
the most exciting portion of the evening. A sudden-death overtime pro-duced
a 46-45 win for the Intramural All-Stars over the previously un-defeated
Seminarians. The Knight's Jim Egge splashed a 20-foot jump
shot to bring the win after Seminarian Ken Gowdy had forced the game
into overtime with a last-minute free throw to tie the score at 44.
It was declared that the first team to score two points would win, a task
which Egge accomplished after another Gowdy free throw gave the
sem a brief-lived 45-44 lead.
The next feature was a volleyball match between the Student Senate
girls and the faculty and staff wives. Both groups displayed much en-thusiasm,
but the more elderly of the two teams displayed the majority
of the talent as the fore-arm smashes of Mrs. Eugene Johnson led to
15-7 and 7-0 wins after the students had scored a 15-5 win in the first
game.
And then the long-waited (?) Koffee Kup clash. Both teams had
good ideas but their execution of them was somewhat lacking. The
Student Senate decided to play straight basketball but they could score
only seven baskets for the entire contest, one of them by Healy, who
evidently felt sorry for them.
The faculty, led by Mutt-and-Jeff Healy-and-Halleen plus a deva-stating
platoon system, decided to try it Harlem Globetrotter-style
which, except for clownish baskets by Healy and Eugene Sprinkel, back-fired
quite dependably. The weak link in the chain was Halleen who
botched both the field-goal attempt and the on-the-shoulder basket, the
result of which is clearly seen in the accompanying picture. What else
could you expect from a football coach ?
The halftime performance of the recently revived Bethel Drill Team
was the high spot of the evening. The team, directed by John Holmberg,
included Al Abramowitz, Darrell Johnson, Harry Fager, Earl Peterson,
and Dick Larson, who also doubled as player-coach for the Student
Senate.
To the disappointment of all, the Senate won, 22-16 behind Jumping
John Carlson's eight points.
In the next issue, Bob Beckstrom, straight-A freshman student
from Menlo Park, Calif., will begin his term as sport's editor of the
1962-63 CLARION staff.
