Party loyalties are laid aside for a moment as Sharon Freeman (Royal Realist), Pam Hanson and Jan Peterson (United Students), and Barb Anderson (Royal Realist) cooperate in making posters urging attend-ance at the political rally to be held tonight at 6:45 p.m. in the college auditorium. the GAR! Volume XXXVIII—No. 12 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, March 22, 1962 Senate Hopefuls Rally Tonight Educator Mathai Explains Modern India's Changes 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. University Grants Commission in India. It is his duty to distribute over twenty million dollars in grants annually among India's 41 universities and 800 colleges. He travels widely and is probably bet-ter informed than anyone else on Indian education. A member of the Mar Thorna Syrian Orthodox Church, Dr. Ma-thai has taken an interest in re-ligious and church matters. He is active in the YMCA, the National Christian Council, and the World Council of Churches. by Richard Nelson Bethel's annual Fine Arts Em-phasis will be held from Apr. 2 to Apr. 14, 1962. During the two-week period, the cultural council will sponsor a total of seven on-campus programs in four categor-ies: art, music, drama, and litera-ture. The events will begin on Monday, Apr. 2, with a lecture by Walter Quirt, currently on the faculty of St. Thomas Festival Set Apr. 10 - 12 The sixth annual Career Festi-val will be held at St. Thomas College, Apr. 10, 11, and 12. Over one hundred exhibits will repre-sent all the major employment fields, and qualified representatives will be available to answer ques-tions. In the past, the Festival has proved to be a valuable experience to those in search of career ideas. The Festival has provided a chance to crystallize vocational choices and also an opportunity for those with definite goals to effect their first employment contact. Campus politicians running for student senate positions will ap-pear tonight at 6:45 p.m. at the campus-wide rally in the college auditorium. The incumbent Royal Realists oppose the United Stu-dents (Gronks) for all offices ex-cept president. Jerry Oas is run-ning for president independently. The Royal Realists have pre-sented a slate including candidates for all offices but president. Their nominees are: first vice president, Bruce Erickson (sophomore) ; sec-ond vice-president, Phil Bolinder; corresponding secretary, Donna Jenkins; recording secretary, Mana Peterson; treasurer, Milt Olsen; and members-at-large, Dick Krue-ger, Bryce Krohn, and Brian Mc- Intosh. The United Students' candidates include: president, Jim Spickel-mier; first vice-president, Lee Bajuniemi; second vice-president, Bruce Carman; corresponding sec-retary, Carole Lundquist; record-ing secretary, Liz Carlson; trea-surer, Bob Larson; and members-at- large, Bill Carlson, Nancy Gus-tafson, Dave Johnson, and Jim Spiceland. Student senate first vice-presi-dent Larry Petersen will deliver introductory remarks and preside over the rally tonight. Each of the candidates for all offices will have an allotment of time to speak or be spoken about. The election will be held tomor-row from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the student center. The new senate will be presented to the student body at the convocation in the fieldhouse tomorrow night. Mr. C. E. Carlson, former dean of Bethel, who is currently execu-tive director of the Baptist Joint the Department of Art at the Uni-versity of Minnesota. Paintings by Mr. Quirt, who has held one-man exhibitions in the country's lead-ing galleries, will be on display in the Student Center throughout Fine Arts Emphasis. An illustrated art lecture will be given by Mr. Wayne Anderson on Wednesday evening, Apr. 4, in the college auditorium. Mr. Anderson, who is assistant director of the Walker Art Center in Minneapo-lis, will discuss contemporary art. On Friday evening, Apr. 6, Mozart's comic opera "Cosi Fan Tutte" will be presented in the fieldhouse by the University of Minnesota Opera Workshop. The workshop is directed by Paul Knowles, assistant professor at the University, and scenic design is provided by Jan Barkla. Organized two years ago as a course for undergraduate, gradu-ate, and extension students, the workshop originally operated on a shoestring budget. However, the workshop's current productions are professionally staged and set. The St. Cloud State College Con-cert Choir will be presented Sat-urday evening, Apr. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the fieldhouse. Directed by Har-vey Waught, the sixty-five voice Committee on Public Affairs, will be presented at two convocations on Friday at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. His morning topic will be "The Church as a Political Pressure Group," and in the evening he will present "The Status of Religious Freedom in the United States." Bethel Hosts Missions Rally "Bearing the precious seed" will be the theme of the annual inter-school missionary rally to be held Saturday, Mar. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Minnesota Gospel Taber-nacle. Woodrow Phillips, former mis-sionary to Jamaica and new head of the school of missions of the Ozark Bible College in Joplin, Mis-souri, will be the guest speaker. During the evening a panel dis-cussion on the following questions will be presented: What is the call of missions ? What type of mis-sionaries are needed ? How can a missionary better fit into the cul-ture of the land? Mr. Claude Stipe, assistant pro-fessor of anthropology will repre-sent Bethel on the panel. Modera-tor of the group will be Mr. Ron Rietveld of Bethel seminary. The following schools are par-ticipating in the event: Bethany fellowship, Bethel college, Minne-sota Bible college, North Central Bible college, Northwestern college, and St. Paul Bible college. Trans-portation and refreshments will be provided. group performed as the featured choir at the National Conference of the American Choral Directors Association held last Apr. in Col-umbus, Ohio, and will also be fea-tured at the Duluth Choir Festival in May. (cont'd. on p. 5) F-S, J-S Go Foreign A foreign flavor will character-ize this year's class banquets. The south sea's paradise atmosphere of Captain's Cove restaurant in Apache Plaza is the setting for the junior-senior banquet Apr. 13 at 8 p.m. The main event of the semi-formal banquet will be the installation of the new senior offi-cers. Parisian street scenes will trans-form the new St. Paul YWCA as freshmen and sophomores gather to greet "Bonjour a Paris" at the annual freshman-sophomore ban-quet on Apr. 13 at 6:30 p.m. Highlighting the program at banquet will be the formal inau-guration of the newly elected class officers. Dr. Clarence Bass is em-cee for the F-S banquet. Fine Arts Week Expands to Feature Art Lectures, Opera, Choir, Pianist Editorials •• 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. LITTLE MAN Cnl: CA11/44DI S •T1-11 16 ONE PROF r5/MPLY DREAD 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. the gopherhole 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. the CLARION Published by students of Bethel College and Seminary Volume XXXVIII Number 12 EDITOR Sharon Dickau ASSOC.

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. by Annette Larson 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. elie4144.4 and 2•Aunoaci seed Join Our Circle of Trust liamOnd 2/44V daiindi.001.

Cornelius Jewelry Co. 628 Nicollet Ave. (3rd Floor) Minneapolis, Minnesota Thursday, March 22, 1962 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.

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 for every occasion cl ecato.fd larpenteur and snelling GENTLEMEN PREFER . • Our : auildtraft fashion-styled frames worn by the ladies they want to admire.

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. Edward W. Avey FALCON HEIGHTS STATE BANK 1544 West Larpenteur Deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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.

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."* *Carl H.

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. AAES Initiates European Tour A.A.E.S. has announced "Opera-tion Christian Heritage" which will airlift a team of Christian stu-dents and faculty members to Eur-ope for two months of study in summer, 1962. Tentative plans include a con-centration on the evangelical tra-ditions as found in the work of Wesley, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Menno Simons, St. Augustine, and St. Paul. The tour may be ex-panded to include Greece and Yugo-slavia. Cost to each member of the tour is $550 for transportation and liv-ing expenses. This includes a spe-lial study course at the Free Uni-versity of Amsterdam, a month's cruise on a charter ship on the waterways of northern Europe and camping in Switzerland and Italy. Interested students uay find more information in the CLARION or senate offices. Three members of the University of Minnesota Opera Workshop are shown in a recent presentation of Mozart's "Cosi Fan Tutte" to be given on campus Friday, April 6, as part of Fine Arts Emphasis. Fine Arts Week - con 't. (cont'd. from p. 1) William Masselos, world-acclaim-ed concert pianist, will perform Tuesday evening, Apr. 10, at the St. Paul Auditorium under the auspices of the Schubert Club. In-dividual tickets may be purchased on the campus at a special rate of fifty cents each. Bus transporta-tion will be provided. The final events of Fine Arts Emphasis will be presented by the Bethel Speech Chorus on Saturday evening, Apr. 14, at 8:00 in the fieldhouse. The chorus, under the direction of Dr. Richard Curtis, will offer a varied program of sac-red and secular selections, featur-ing group, ensemble, and solo num-bers. Timed to coincide with the sec-ond week of Fine Arts Emphasis is the inaugural publication of COEVAL, a literary magazine con-taining literature and art work by Bethel students.

Frank Fashner MI 6-2501 assoc. with Strommen Agency 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 14 — Mayville (N.D.) (2) 18 — Bethany J.C. 21 — Bemidji State (2) May 3 — Northwestern (Minn.) 8 — River Falls 12 — Bethany J.C.

All interest-ed tennis candidates are asked to see Healy for information pertaining to the organization of the 1962 tennis team. Falcon Heights Cities Service For the student on wheels by Bob Beckstrom 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: April 17 — Gustavus Adolphus and UMD at St. Peter 21 — Carlton Relays at Northfield 30 — St. Cloud at St. Cloud May 5 — Stout State and River Falls at Menominie, Wis. 12 — Winona State at Winona 19 — Bethel Invitational at St. Paul Seminarians' 9-0 Record Captures Title The Seminarians captured the intramural basketball crown with a perfect 9-0 record. Their only de-feat came in a post-season clash with the intramural all-stars. The Dukes finished a close second, trailing by only one game. After touch football and basket-ball, the Jesters lead in total club points with 180. The Seminarians, however, are close behind with 178. Additional club points can be won with victories in the upcoming wrestling, handball, and ping pong tournaments. Volleyball competition began Wednesday, Mar. 14. The Barons, Counts, Dukes, and Squires all won their games over the Jesters, Knights, Pages, and Peasants. The. Faculty and Seminary did not play. The wrestling tournament is to be held on Mar. 27, 28, 29. Handball and ping pong tournaments are scheduled from Mar. 20 to Apr. 20.

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.

Volume XXXVIII—No. 12 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, March 22, 1962 Senate Hopefuls Rally Tonight Educator Mathai Explains Modern India's Changes 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. University Grants Commission in India. It is his duty to distribute over twenty million dollars in grants annually among India's 41 universities and 800 colleges. He travels widely and is probably bet-ter informed than anyone else on Indian education. A member of the Mar Thorna Syrian Orthodox Church, Dr. Ma-thai has taken an interest in re-ligious and church matters. He is active in the YMCA, the National Christian Council, and the World Council of Churches. by Richard Nelson Bethel's annual Fine Arts Em-phasis will be held from Apr. 2 to Apr. 14, 1962. During the two-week period, the cultural council will sponsor a total of seven on-campus programs in four categor-ies: art, music, drama, and litera-ture. The events will begin on Monday, Apr. 2, with a lecture by Walter Quirt, currently on the faculty of St. Thomas Festival Set Apr. 10 - 12 The sixth annual Career Festi-val will be held at St. Thomas College, Apr. 10, 11, and 12. Over one hundred exhibits will repre-sent all the major employment fields, and qualified representatives will be available to answer ques-tions. In the past, the Festival has proved to be a valuable experience to those in search of career ideas. The Festival has provided a chance to crystallize vocational choices and also an opportunity for those with definite goals to effect their first employment contact. Campus politicians running for student senate positions will ap-pear tonight at 6:45 p.m. at the campus-wide rally in the college auditorium. The incumbent Royal Realists oppose the United Stu-dents (Gronks) for all offices ex-cept president. Jerry Oas is run-ning for president independently. The Royal Realists have pre-sented a slate including candidates for all offices but president. Their nominees are: first vice president, Bruce Erickson (sophomore) ; sec-ond vice-president, Phil Bolinder; corresponding secretary, Donna Jenkins; recording secretary, Mana Peterson; treasurer, Milt Olsen; and members-at-large, Dick Krue-ger, Bryce Krohn, and Brian Mc- Intosh. The United Students' candidates include: president, Jim Spickel-mier; first vice-president, Lee Bajuniemi; second vice-president, Bruce Carman; corresponding sec-retary, Carole Lundquist; record-ing secretary, Liz Carlson; trea-surer, Bob Larson; and members-at- large, Bill Carlson, Nancy Gus-tafson, Dave Johnson, and Jim Spiceland. Student senate first vice-presi-dent Larry Petersen will deliver introductory remarks and preside over the rally tonight. Each of the candidates for all offices will have an allotment of time to speak or be spoken about. The election will be held tomor-row from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the student center. The new senate will be presented to the student body at the convocation in the fieldhouse tomorrow night. Mr. C. E. Carlson, former dean of Bethel, who is currently execu-tive director of the Baptist Joint the Department of Art at the Uni-versity of Minnesota. Paintings by Mr. Quirt, who has held one-man exhibitions in the country's lead-ing galleries, will be on display in the Student Center throughout Fine Arts Emphasis. An illustrated art lecture will be given by Mr. Wayne Anderson on Wednesday evening, Apr. 4, in the college auditorium. Mr. Anderson, who is assistant director of the Walker Art Center in Minneapo-lis, will discuss contemporary art. On Friday evening, Apr. 6, Mozart's comic opera "Cosi Fan Tutte" will be presented in the fieldhouse by the University of Minnesota Opera Workshop. The workshop is directed by Paul Knowles, assistant professor at the University, and scenic design is provided by Jan Barkla. Organized two years ago as a course for undergraduate, gradu-ate, and extension students, the workshop originally operated on a shoestring budget. However, the workshop's current productions are professionally staged and set. The St. Cloud State College Con-cert Choir will be presented Sat-urday evening, Apr. 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the fieldhouse. Directed by Har-vey Waught, the sixty-five voice Committee on Public Affairs, will be presented at two convocations on Friday at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. His morning topic will be "The Church as a Political Pressure Group," and in the evening he will present "The Status of Religious Freedom in the United States." Bethel Hosts Missions Rally "Bearing the precious seed" will be the theme of the annual inter-school missionary rally to be held Saturday, Mar. 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Minnesota Gospel Taber-nacle. Woodrow Phillips, former mis-sionary to Jamaica and new head of the school of missions of the Ozark Bible College in Joplin, Mis-souri, will be the guest speaker. During the evening a panel dis-cussion on the following questions will be presented: What is the call of missions ? What type of mis-sionaries are needed ? How can a missionary better fit into the cul-ture of the land? Mr. Claude Stipe, assistant pro-fessor of anthropology will repre-sent Bethel on the panel. Modera-tor of the group will be Mr. Ron Rietveld of Bethel seminary. The following schools are par-ticipating in the event: Bethany fellowship, Bethel college, Minne-sota Bible college, North Central Bible college, Northwestern college, and St. Paul Bible college. Trans-portation and refreshments will be provided. group performed as the featured choir at the National Conference of the American Choral Directors Association held last Apr. in Col-umbus, Ohio, and will also be fea-tured at the Duluth Choir Festival in May.

The south sea's paradise atmosphere of Captain's Cove restaurant in Apache Plaza is the setting for the junior-senior banquet Apr. 13 at 8 p.m. The main event of the semi-formal banquet will be the installation of the new senior offi-cers. Parisian street scenes will trans-form the new St. Paul YWCA as freshmen and sophomores gather to greet "Bonjour a Paris" at the annual freshman-sophomore ban-quet on Apr. 13 at 6:30 p.m. Highlighting the program at banquet will be the formal inau-guration of the newly elected class officers. Dr. Clarence Bass is em-cee for the F-S banquet. Fine Arts Week Expands to Feature Art Lectures, Opera, Choir, Pianist Editorials •• 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. LITTLE MAN Cnl: CA11/44DI S •T1-11 16 ONE PROF r5/MPLY DREAD 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. the gopherhole 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. the CLARION Published by students of Bethel College and Seminary Volume XXXVIII Number 12 EDITOR Sharon Dickau ASSOC.

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. by Annette Larson 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. elie4144.4 and 2•Aunoaci seed Join Our Circle of Trust liamOnd 2/44V daiindi.001.

Cornelius Jewelry Co. 628 Nicollet Ave. (3rd Floor) Minneapolis, Minnesota Thursday, March 22, 1962 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.

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 for every occasion cl ecato.fd larpenteur and snelling GENTLEMEN PREFER . • Our : auildtraft fashion-styled frames worn by the ladies they want to admire.

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. Edward W. Avey FALCON HEIGHTS STATE BANK 1544 West Larpenteur Deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 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.

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.

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.

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. AAES Initiates European Tour A.A.E.S. has announced "Opera-tion Christian Heritage" which will airlift a team of Christian stu-dents and faculty members to Eur-ope for two months of study in summer, 1962. Tentative plans include a con-centration on the evangelical tra-ditions as found in the work of Wesley, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Menno Simons, St. Augustine, and St. Paul. The tour may be ex-panded to include Greece and Yugo-slavia. Cost to each member of the tour is $550 for transportation and liv-ing expenses. This includes a spe-lial study course at the Free Uni-versity of Amsterdam, a month's cruise on a charter ship on the waterways of northern Europe and camping in Switzerland and Italy. Interested students uay find more information in the CLARION or senate offices.

Frank Fashner MI 6-2501 assoc. with Strommen Agency 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 14 — Mayville (N.D.) (2) 18 — Bethany J.C. 21 — Bemidji State (2) May 3 — Northwestern (Minn.) 8 — River Falls 12 — Bethany J.C.

Falcon Heights Cities Service For the student on wheels by Bob Beckstrom 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: April 17 — Gustavus Adolphus and UMD at St. Peter 21 — Carlton Relays at Northfield 30 — St. Cloud at St. Cloud May 5 — Stout State and River Falls at Menominie, Wis. 12 — Winona State at Winona 19 — Bethel Invitational at St. Paul Seminarians' 9-0 Record Captures Title The Seminarians captured the intramural basketball crown with a perfect 9-0 record. Their only de-feat came in a post-season clash with the intramural all-stars. The Dukes finished a close second, trailing by only one game. After touch football and basket-ball, the Jesters lead in total club points with 180. The Seminarians, however, are close behind with 178. Additional club points can be won with victories in the upcoming wrestling, handball, and ping pong tournaments. Volleyball competition began Wednesday, Mar. 14. The Barons, Counts, Dukes, and Squires all won their games over the Jesters, Knights, Pages, and Peasants. The. Faculty and Seminary did not play. The wrestling tournament is to be held on Mar. 27, 28, 29. Handball and ping pong tournaments are scheduled from Mar. 20 to Apr. 20.

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.
