- Open Occupancy Law and Christian Responsibility" will
be the topic of a televised panel discussion at 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 18 on
KTCA Television, channel 2. Members of the panel are Dr. Robert
Mounce; Dr. David Moberg, moderator; and Dr. Ivan Fahs.
In April, 1961, the Minnesota State legislature passed the Minnesota
State Act Against Discrimination, which deals with the question of fair
housing: whether or not persons should be prohibited from purchasing
homes and property in this state on the grounds of race, creed or
national baikground.
There are primarily two parts included in the law: discrimination
in employment and the provisions dealing directly with housing. The
employment portion of the law is the culmination of earlier laws; how-ever,
the housing portion of the law was passed on Dec. 31, 1962.

Images are relative, and the reflection of Bethel college
is no exception. To the observer an exact definition of the
school is not readily discernible, and it appears to be in a
state of flux. In spite of its nine decades of operation, Bethel's
emergence as a liberal arts college is comparatively recent, and
she still has not been allowed to break completely with the
comfortable Bible school tradition. However, the time has ar-rived
when such a representation is no longer honest, and
faculty and students are turning to reinterpret what the school
is or should be.
Ideally, the Christian liberal arts college is the synthesis
of a religious and an academic community. It is a Christian
institution, but it is not a church, and its primary function is
education. Its purpose is to present an educational program
which carries the respect of the academic world and which
provides students with the knowledge and appreciation of our
culture that creates social and intellectual peers.
But more than this, it is an education centered totally
within the framework of a continuing Christian experience.
Thus the Christian college, with its dedicated faculty and ad-ministration,
should provide the avenue for building a sin-cere,
secure faith and for applying a dynamic Christianity
to the problems of the modern world. And to grant this
avenue such a role demands assigning it freedom—not the
negativistic freedom "from," but freedom "for."
Faculty must have freedom for honest and impartial con-sideration
of all knowledge with a well-founded claim to truth.
They must be allowed to present facts and theories from both
sides, in the belief that true science and true religion are
never antagonistic.
Students must have freedom for the free and unhampered
search for truth in all areas of life. They must be allowed to
"examine all things," to discuss with fellow students and to
engage in individual research to determine their own credo.
Clearly then, it becomes imperative for the truly Chris-tian
college to develop a curriculum allowing for variation in
concepts developed. And this necessitates a, firm belief that
honest and sincere experimental thinking cannot betray the
core of our Christian faith. Thus, in such an atmosphere the
student should be encouraged not merely to accept his reli-gion,
but to study and evaluate it in terms of his own think-ing
and to develop his own application of it to modern
society.
Oecasionally-tamions develop due-te- the eonfliet between
values easily defined as Christian and those which have no
particular religious designation. However, on the campus of
a Christian college, there should be no sharp division between
the secular and the sacred; everything which is done should
be done for the glory of God and for the achievement of his
purpose.
In essence, then, the ideal Christian liberal arts college
is that institution which is rooted in a sound tradition of
scholarship and which is dedicated to developing Christian
character which expresses itself through intelligent social lea-dership
and through lay and professional leadership in the
Christian movement. Is this Bethel?
by Dave Johnson
Kenneth L. Pike, "With Heart and Mind: a
personal synthesis of scholarship and devo-tion."
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Com-pany.
Grand Rapids, Mich. 1962, pp. 140:
$1.75.
Well known as a linguist, Dr.
Pike has ventured into deep waters
in seeking to reconcile scholarship
and Christianity. "For the past
generation or two the evangelical
wing of the church has viewed
scholarship with suspicion."
The church, he says, has sought
to serve God with heart and soul,
and has neglected serving Him
with mind. He writes an account
of his personal struggle in inte-grating
intellectual efforts and
Christian faith.
HE HAS divided the book into
four parts: in the first, he outlines
and explores the limitations and
shortcomings of man's intellect;
in the second, he discusses how
viewpoint affects man reactions
to God;
In the third, he emphasizes per-sonal
committment to God as well
as intellectual understanding of
truth; finally, he points out the
fact that man has been given the
Pike recognizes that all men
ground their philosophies on cer-tain
assumptions. He points out
that Nicodemus, the intellectual,
is the only man in the Bible that
Jesus told he "must be born
again." Intellectual assumptions
must be discarded before an indi-vidual
can have a personal know-ledge
of God.
MAN MUST seek God if he is
to find Him. The man who defies
anyone to show him God in the
universe will never find a man to
make the demonstration. Man must
humbly seek for God, and God
must reveal Himself to man.
Once man has sought God and
God has shown Himself, man must
go one step further. He must turn
his entire being over to God, and
this is the hardest of all. Faith or
conviction without willingness to
spend oneself has no effect on the
world around us, and is of no use
to God.

Communist China will soon have
the atomic- bomb, an especially dis-turbing
fact for the free world
since the current balance of power
is dependent upon a bilateral nu-clear
situation. Up to now, the
U.S. and the U.S.S.R. have had ap-proximately
the same nuclear
strength and consequently have on
several occasions genuinely frus-trated
each other's military offen-sives.
While we do not enjoy this type
of "co-existence," it has become a
rather tacit guarantee that neither

THOROUGHLY ACQUAINTED

He manages to pre-sent
a sound position without
preaching and without limiting the

of his position.

power will commit the deadly hor-ror
of nuclear destruction.
WITH RED CHINA emerging
upon the nuclear stage, however,
the problem of maintaining that
impasse becomes more tenuous.
The United States will undoubtedly
feel constrained to embark on a
gigantic program to manufacture
more nuclear warheads and distri-bute
them to our growing number
of missile sites in the Far East.
Hopefully, she will not in the
process become so wrapped up
in the effort that she becomes
a nation dedicated to an image
symptom of a lack of creative indi-vidual
spiritual existence?
Could it even be that persons
are deluded by their facility
with formulized verbal codes in-to
believing that appearance is
the total of the Christian exper-ience?
The essential realness of the
Christian or Christ-within exper-ience
is rebirth. It is necessarily
creative, for only as it is creative
is it really living. And by reason
of its creation it is necessarily
individual. So if expression of the
experience is sincere, how can it
help but be individual?
When the Christ-within is gen-erating
a vital radiance—freedom
from pride, freedom from fear—
why do we need conformity, for
conformity implies insecurity.
What we wish for is harmony,
not conformity, a harmony of
complementary units. There is
no more harmony when everyone
'plays the same note than when
everyone is playing random
notes.
Individual wholeness demands
freedom. Only fear demands con-formity.
And freedom demands
only truth, sincerity of the inner
man whose outerness is an expres-sion.
Can our testimony, or our outer
person, really be an "expression"
when it is not expressing an inner
experience, but only acknowledg-ing
to word formulas and social
codes of an evangelical subculture?
The same Christ is within all
who are truly Christians, but in-dividuals
are expressing Him. Per-haps
the only commonality of that
testimony is: "God's son has set
me free!"
of military strength rather than
one passionately devoted to the
ideal of peace.
As indicated in a previous arti-cle,
the grave task of the United
States in this situation will un-doubtedly
be aggravated by the
unpredictability of Red China's
Mao Tse Tung. His particular var-iety
of Communism and the tem-perament
of his impoverished mil-lions
makes diplomatic relations
almost, although, not entirely, in-calculable.
TO US, the most frustrating fac-tor
in the impending episode lies
in the utter helplessness of Am-erican
statesmen in their efforts
to decide upon positive peaceful
diplomacy.
There are, however, several
reasons to hope that ultimate in-ternational
security without mili-tary
devastation is at least a
possibility.
Of primary concern, for exam-ple,
to students of international re-lations
is the Sino-Soviet split. If
that split is as significant as West-ern
authorities now believe, Mao
will be forced to reckon with the
live possibility of Soviet hostilities
as well as that from the West for
any irresponsible aggression.
IF THAT RIFT is not as serious
as we assume, then the Chinese
will have little recourse but to
act as a temperamental but re-strained
little brother to the ever
so much more passive Russians.
Finally, there is hope that the
Chinese will develop a sensitivity
to the responsibility that such a
position of leadership demands.
This has happened to the Soviet
Union; she was once dominated
by leaders of untempered inhu-manity
and seemingly rational
sterility. Presently she has a
ruthless but humane and reason-.
able leader who recognizes the
hideousness of nuclear war.
Mao has boasted long and loud
that China would conquer the
world for Communism if only she
had the military wherewithal to
do so.
Thus, if war can be averted for
the next two decades without ser-ious
increase in Communist domi-nation,
it will likely be because
the Chinese will have had a change
of heart, be it ever so slight.
We ought as a moral and peace-ful
people to watch for this change
in hope and unspiteful patience.

Faces Academic, Discipline Problems

Cyrus Running is now head of
the art department of Concordia
college. His paintings appear in the
collections of Walker Art center
and are frequently seen in art ex-hibits
in the Midwest, particularly
in Minnesota.
Oils now on display in the Bethel
coffee shop reveal a careful and
almost axially symmetrical bal-ance.
Overlapping solid rectangles
and triangles, a kind of cubism in
"Crusaders," are differentiated by
predominantly vertical lines and
are colored in light browns, yellows
and oranges. The colors look
slightly emaciated and shallow, and
there seems to be a lack of orig-inal
expression.
THREE WATER-COLORS dis-played
are pleasing but rather
standard. "Late Snow" exhibits a
controlled technique, but is too
obvious a representation. "Becker
County, Fall" is carefully organiz-ed,
but the technique of streaking
the paper with a horizontal band
of bright color and then inking in
a few trees or buildings seems
more like a gimmick.
Pen and ink drawings are more
lastingly fascinating and present

Dear Editor:
Can Christianity work in the bas-ketball
gymnasium? Is unsports-manlike
conduct of the Bethel stu-dent
body appropriate to the Chris-tian
testimony it proclaims?
"Christian spectators" personally
insult players on the opposing
teams. Cries such as "Methuselah"
and "Baldy" taunt opposing play-ers
unmercifully. Referees are no
longer considered people, but
striped blindmen who should be
the butt of unceasing slander.
The Christian witness rings out
loud and clear, especially during
free throws, intentionally distract-ing
opponents from their shots,
When the opposing coach jumps
off the bench to question a ref-eree's
call, there comes the jeer,
"Sit down, Baldy!" as if he had
no right to question the referee.
Do we forget that "Bethel"
means "House of God?" Or isn't

Maybe you're like me and all
your life you've wanted to be a
teacher. After all, teaching is that
occupation in which one can mold
the minds of America's future
citizens, in which one can challenge
the world's leaders of tomorrow to
hitherto unthought-of heights, in
which one can . . .
But the only inevitable which
does not fit into this pattern is
student teaching, a transitional per-iod
in the life of the would-be
teacher in which he is not sure
whether he is student or teacher
and harbors a suspicion that he is
neither.
Having received a student
teaching assignment, one en-counters
his first problem in the
knowledge of subject matter.
The astute individual soon learns
to camouflage inadequate know-ledge
by a retreat into erudite
verbiage, or better yet, into a
complex and un-answerable re-statement
of the impertinent
question.

been taken, some students may

and call the referee a "blind
idiot" because he calls a foul on
our team?
Will we forfeit our Christian
testimony to taunt the opposing
coach every time he gets off the

easiness regarding the role and ef-fectiveness
of AAES.
Last spring, we decided to
seek the regional convention
chair so that we could make a
positive contribution in directing
the organization. The recent
convention was an attempt to
translate our philosophy of what
AAES should be into reality.
A conscious effort was made to
focus attention on some of the
leading edges of consideration in
the relating of our faith to con-temporary
problems in science,
philosophy and the contemporary
scene.
Re-hashing areas of agreement
or considering matters that are a
common experience to the major-ity
of Christian students would
have been less controversial, but
also an inadequate justification for
the existence of AAES. AAES must
lead Christian student thought.
In one respect we were not
only presenting our philosophy
of AAES, but our ideals for
Christian liberal arts education
and the contribution which
Bethel has to make to the reali-zation
of these ideals.
Our expectations were gratified
by an eager response to our pre-sentation.
Whether we have chal-lenged
and significantly effected
the progress of AAES remains to
be seen.

Bethel students seeking oppor-tunities
to go abroad for study and
travel should look into the pro-gram
of the Student Project for
Amity among Nations.
SPAN, begun by a group of Uni-versity
of Minnesota students in-terested
in furthering international
understanding, offers substantial
monetary subsidy, eight semester
credits, and travel and touring in
a foreign country to those students
recommended by their college and
selected by a screening committee.
THIS SUMMER, two Bethelites-a
student and a faculty member���
will be going abroad for twelve
weeks under the auspices of SPAN.
Junior Joan McNaughton has been
accepted as a member of the SPAN
group traveling to Finland, while
Spanish teacher Lilian Ryberg will
serve as advisor to SPANers in
Brazil.
Joan's trip to Finland, leaving
in late June, will be the cul-mination
for her of many weeks
of pre-study in Finnish culture,
customs, and language.
Her group meets frequently to
acquaint themselves with the coun-try
and its people, as well as to
discuss American political beliefs,
race problems, and other aspects
of our culture in which Europeans
would be likely to take interest.
"MY SPECIFIC area of concen-tration,"
says Joan, "will be the
Finnish theater, which is unique
in that it is so highly organized
and widely found throughout the
country."
Joan chose the theater arts
rather than a more politically-oriented
area of study because
she feels that this cultural field
affords her the best opportunity
to learn about true Finnish life.
She hopes to do extensive travel-ing
within the country, research-ing
her project and formulating
impressions which she and the
other SPANers will present in the
form of a research paper when
they return to Minnesota.
NEXT YEAR, their presentations
will help to solicit funds for next
year's SPAN trips to Algeria, In-dia,
Colombia, and Poland.
"I'm very happy about this
opportunity," claims Joan, "and
wish that more Bethel students
would take advantage of SPAN's
aid program."
Miss Ryberg echoes Joan in en-couraging
those interested to see
Dr. Walfred Peterson, SPAN ad-visor
on campus.
COMMENTING ON financial as-pects,
she says, "Numerous scholar-ships
and other aids are available
to help students who want to go
abroad but have money problems.
SPAN is such a worthwhile project
that I urge interested persons to
investigate its possibilities."
Arriving in Brazil early this
summer, she will be on hand to
serve as academic advisor to

"It takes hard work, boldness,
and imagination to become crea-tive,"
said Dr. Paul Torrance to a
Bethel convocation audience on
Feb. 7. Director of the Bureau of
Educational Research at the U. of
Minn., Dr. Torrance discussed as-pects
of creativity and problems
of being creative in this "computer
age."
Three specific developments in
history have led to the greater
utilization of man's capabilities;
the alphabet, the printing press
and the computer.
THEIR COMING unleashed a cer-tain
fear that man's mind would
now deteriorate because man
would not have to use his mem-ory.
The human memory, however,
was discovered to have limitation,
and the development of the print-ing
press enabled man to reach
toward higher goals.
In his closing analogue, Tor-rance
clarified the place of the
computer by illustrating that a
person probing a question is sup-plied
with information from the
computer rather than from his
own memory. Thus his thinking
is free for creative imagination
to work.
Today there is a more favorable
climate for expansion and explora-tion
of creativity, for a far greater
rate of technological change than
ever before has contributed impli-cations
of greater adaptation.
IN PARTIALLY answering the
question "will a more creative and
humane type of education catch
on?", Torrance touched on our
"cummulative knowledge about
man's creativity. He stated that al-though
we have known that it is
natural to learn by questioning,
searching, still we have insisted
than man learn by authority.
"The overall evidence is that
we have not gone very far in
stimulating critical and creative
thinking. To most teachers and
parents the ideal pupil is cour-teous,
polite, well-liked by peers,
gets work in on time rather than
being an independent, courag-eous
thinker."
Dr. Torrance continued with a
discussion of the "forces that have
made it difficult to be a whole
creative person." We have been
taught by authority; we face a
struggle to obtain good grades;
students are reluctant to take ad-vantage
of self-iniated study; and
we live in a "clock-orientated" cul-ture
divided into fifty-minutes,
weeks, semesters.
FURTHERMORE, large areas of
experience have been made off-limit
or taboo. The most effective
taboos are misplaced emphases
such as calling sensitivity a femin-ine
value and independence of
mind a masculine virtue.
Students assented to his re-mark
that teachers and parents
encourage us to be independent
in thinking but not in judgment.
They protect us from failure;
they warn us not be fanatics but
to be normal.
Dr. Torrance encouraged us to
"push on to creative solutions."
"Not love alone, but creative
thinking makes the world go
round." The realization of this will
make our age as John Glenn called
it, "the age of imagination and
inquiry."

7-3 to Park
Bethel's hockey team suffered
its second defeat of the season
Friday night, losing to the Min-neapolis
Park board team 7-3.
Bethel's other loss came at the
hands of this same team 5-2. Their
one victory was against Alexander
Ramsey high school.
Bethel jumped to an early 1-0
lead on a quick goal by Craig
Kronholm. The lead was short-lived,
however, as Park board
wasted no time in tying the score
and going ahead 2-1.
Doug Todd's goal knotted the
score at 2-2. Park board quickly
moved ahead again, never being
seriously threatened from then on.
The only other Bethel tally came
on a surprise goal by Vince Bloom.
Outstanding individual perform-ances
were turned in by Craig
Kronholm, Dick Young, Bob Smith
and Jim Friberg.
An unexpected number of peo-ple
turned out to see the game,
played in Aldrich arena. The hard
driving, aggressive play of the
Bethel team combined with occas-ional
brilliance showed much po-tential.

Bethel press and gave the visitors
a two point victory.
Bethel suffered its third

Peterman and Moulton with 17
and 15 points respectively led
the Royals to an early 18-8 lead
but were unable to maintain it
as Wahpeton led 42-36 at half-time.
Bethel ended their three game
losing skein by outshooting Morris
58-55 at Morris. George Palke and
Lee Bajuniemi with 12 and 11
points respectively led the Royal
scoring attack to a 34-29 halftime
lead.
Dennis Clausen's 19 points
sparked a Morris comeback as they

Points for Bethel came from

while Dischinger won on a for-feit.
Paul Anderson is an exceptional

Sidelines
by Bob Beckstrom
In light of the current basketball season it would seem that a late-season
fold would be in order for the Royal cagers. There are several
reasons, however, why one would hesitate to forecast such a fold. One
reason is that these final three games include two home games. In
spite of the fact that Bethel fans have seen only one victory this season,
the games have still been exciting and the Royals have lately played
some inspired ball.
Another reason for anticipating a thrilling final stretch is that one
of the home games is with Northwestern. The traditional rivalry is
nothing new to anybody at Bethel, and the recent clash in Northwestern's
telephone booth foreshadows as exciting a sequel as any. And, of course,
its being the Founders week game adds any further impetus necessary
to make it an inspired effort. It is the one game of the year when
everyone forgets about the rest of the season and comes out to see
Bethel beat Northwestern.
No one can write Bethel off in the Moorhead, Northwestern and
Northland games. Moorhead, having a so-so season, will be hosting Augs-burg
tonight and then traveling to Bethel Friday night. The men to
watch are Don Wormager, a 5'9" guard who has been scoring in the
twenties, and Jim Jahr, an all-region freshman from Alexandria. The
hook shot specialist is also the Dragons' tallest man at 6'4". The B
squad will play the Minnesota School of Business in the preliminary.
Providing stiff opposition from Northwestern again will be Walt
Green and Jim Carlson, both scoring around the twenty mark. Bethel,
however, will have both Dave Peterman and Roger Olson, as well as
Lee Bajuniemi and Phil Bolinder, who scored 19 points apiece against
Northwestern.
The final game against Northland should have no indication of
late-season slump either. The Royals will have the incentive of both
playing the final game of the season and avenging Northland's Sno-
Daze overtime victory.
A final reason for anticipating a good showing in Bethe'ls final
three games is the outstanding improvement of individual players.
Olson, getting 14 points against Northwestern (Ia.) and 20 against
Northwestern (Minn.) and Phil Bolinder have improved tremendously
under the boards. George Palke, sophomore transfer from Wheaton, and
Don Moore have given added board strength.
Loss of reserve guard Bill McCarrel with a twisted knee may hurt.
Bajuniemi and Moore will also be playing on weakened ankles, but the
team does not look ready to fold in the final stretch.
Matmen Beat
Show Steady
by Don Allison
Bethel's matmen, inexperienced
as they are, made an impressive
showing against Hamline, Michi-gan
Tech, River Falls and Con-cordia
in their most recent mat-ches.
The Royals eased by Hamline
16-11 in a match seen prior to the
B-team game on Feb. 2. Clothier,
Gronau, Anderson and Hagfeldt
were winners for Bethel.
A superior Michigan Tech
team leveled Bethel on Feb. 5,
30-7, the latter's only points corn-ing

and a pin by Paul Anderson.
