Sno Daze Weekend Approaching
Princess To Reign Over Many Events
•
Sno Daze princesses Teri Mounce, Darlene Palermo, and Deb-bie
Peterson, all sophomores, await Bethel's winter social weekend.
"He is no fool who gives what
he cannot keep, to gain what he
cannot lose." This maxim, which
serves as the motto for the Bap-tist
General Conference's LIFT
program, is from the pen of mar-tyred
missionary to the Auca In-dians
of Ecuador, Jim Elliot.
Bethel is privileged to have
Mrs. Elizabeth Elliot, Jim Elliot's
widow, as a featured speaker at
Founders Week. Having returned
once to Ecuador since her hus-band's
death, Mrs. Elliot presently
resides in Prauravia, New Hamp-shire
with her daughter.
Although Mrs. Elliot has spok-en
extensively on the East
Coast since her return from Ecu-ador,
this is her first appear-ance
in the Mid-West since the
Auca tragedy eight years ago.
Dean Kantzer of Trinity Divinity
School Will Speak Here Thursday
Dr. Kenneth S. Kantzer comes to
Bethel Founders Week as Dean,
of Trinity Evangelical Divinity
School, the graduate theological
seminary of the Evangelical Free
Church of America. After his B.A.
and M.A. ,Iegrees, he earned his
B.D. and M.S.T from Faith Theo-logical
Seminary in Delaware and
his Ph.D. in philosophy of religion
from Harvard University. He has
also studied in Germany and
Switzerland.
In the midst of this wide range
of education he has taught at
Kings College (Delaware), Gordon
College and Seminary and Whea-ton
College. In addition to his aca-demic
role he has pastored a
church, served on the Young Life
Institute staff, and has been a
lecturer and speaker in Inter-
Varsity circle. He spoke before the
IVCF missions convention at Ur-bana,
Illinois in December.
In a recent article in the Ev-angelical
Beacon Dr. Kantzer
mentioned some of the charact-erizing
features of Trinity Sem-inary,
a sister institution to
Behel. First, it is wholly com-mitted
to the doctrinal standard
of the Evangelical Free Church
and also to the forms of piety
that have characterized that
group across the years, empha-sizing
especially the necessity of
a conversion experience.
Second, the seminary finds it-self
playing an evident role in the
wider evangelical world, in that
a good part of both faculty and
students come from other than
the Free Church denomination.
The recent expansion of the school
(the present enrollment of 129 is
double that of last year) in Dr.
Kantzer's view bears an important
significance. Among the many stu-dents
of other denominations,
many have expressed a desire to
affiliate with the Free Church.
At the same time their presence
is evidence of the effort to make
available to evangelicals the best
kind of theological education. Thus
the situation has aroused the in-terest
of Free Church men who
have enrolled in greater numbers
than ever before. All of this in a
time when seminaries nationally
are decreasing in enrollment.
Finally, he suggests the import-ant
, )1 the Femiz.ary in the
life of the Free Church. The fu-
Sno Daze, Bethel's winter social
event, is coming the weekend of
Feb. 26-27. Highlighting the events
calendar is the Sno Daze princess
coronation, various sports activi-ties
and the Saturday night ban-quet.
The weekend begins with a bas-ketball
game between the Bethel
Royals and Ellingdale, Friday
night. During half-time the Sno
Daze princess coronation promises
more royal excitement.
Following the basketball game
the Cumberland Trio, singing
folk music, will entertain stu-dents
in the college auditorium.
Entertainment plans also include
a skit and the beard judging
contest. The newly crowned Sno
Daze princess will present a rib-bon
to the prize beard.
Saturday is scheduled with
sports activities. In the morning
the Bethel hockey team
will meet at the Aldrich
Arena. Ice skating and broom ball
will test student skill in inter-class
competition at 1:00 o'clock,
after which all participants can
warm up in the student center.
Then, at 2:30, a bus leaves for a
wrestling match at Northwestern
College.
Crowning the day's events is the
Saturday night semi-formal ban-quet
held at the Heidelberg Din-ing
Lounge in Minneapolis. Pre-sentation
of the princess and her
Bethel is indeed fortunate to
have her as a guest speaker.
She is the author of three books
published by Harper and Row.
They are;The Savage My Kinsman,
Through Gates of Splendor, and
Shadow of the Almighty. The
latest, The Savage My Kinsman,
describes her experience as a mis-sionary
to the savage Auca Indi-ans,
who before her arrival had
killed her husband and four other
cation, hopes to specialize in the
teaching of deaf children.
Teri and Debbie enjoy sports
participation, and all three girls
expressed interest in spectator
sports, hockey being the favorite.
Tentative travel plans for the
candidates include the east coast
and the World's Fair for Debbie,
and Hawaii next Christmas for
Teri. Darlene is awaiting verifica-tion
of a summer job at the Billy
Graham Pavilion at the World's
Fair.
How do the girls feel about
Sno Daze? Teri feels the "special

All three books have sold nearly
a half-million copies and are avail-able
in a number of foreign lan-guage
translations including Swe-dish,
German, Spanish, Finnish,
Dutch, and Japanese.
In 1951, Dr. Roddy came to
Fuller Theological Seminary from
the Eastern Baptist Seminary
where he was professor of homi-letics.
In addition to his professor-ship,
Dr. Roddy has played a
major role in the formation of
the Conservative Baptist Foreign
Missionary Society and the Na-tional
Association of Evangelicals.
"We Prepare and Preach" is
the title of a book edited by Dr.
Roddy. The book consVsts of a
volume of articles wiirten
eleven Evangelical ministers on
their methods of sermon con-struction
and delivery. It is a
study of different personalities
as well as different methods.
Dr. Roddy has also written a
volume, "Proclaiming the New
Testament" which was publish-ed
recently.
One who knows Dr. Roddy has
described him as a man who com-bines
"rustic common sense and
a memorable personality with his
gift of unique powers of expres-sion
to become one of the great-est
preachers in the world."

Smaller, Faster Paced World
Requires New Unity of Spirit
The concept of relating the message of Christ to a changing
world has undergirded many a Founders Week. But the World
of February, 1965, is considerably smaller and faster paced
than that of any previous year. "Crisis" has become a hack-neyed
word.
We live in a smaller neighborhood. Statistical fans of the
horizontal space race predict a boost from three to four billion
in the world population total between 1960 and 1975. U.S. News
predicts that by 1980 more than three of four Americans will
live in urban areas, crowded into less than two per cent of the
country's land area. Many of these have joined the suburban
counter-migrations of the sixties.
The highest living standard in the contemporary or his-torical
world has provided Americans with undreamed of op-portunities
for personal mobility and experimental communi-cation.
What is sometimes referred to as our "information
explosion" has literally "snowed" the best informed, most
literate society yet assembled.
The expectations of 1965 have already re-affirmed a
growing confidence in moves toward organization, centraliza-tion
and "oneness." But organization begets not only counter-organization,
but the necessity of selectivity. The sixties may
be the "Golden Age" of the specialist and the "Oganizatiori
man." All these trends have contributed to a more anonymous,
aloof, impersonal man.
The thoughtful Christian, with some reservations, has
for the most part been willingly carried along. The more
subtle evolution of impersonality is shown in the distrust
and tension between certain groups within the Church. Many
of the social implications of some of our doctrines grounded
in Fundamentalism have traditionally been negatively inter-preted.
This contributes to ineffectiveness in mission as well
as disunity within.
We cannot justify our existence in separatism. But we
stand at a particularly opportune crossroads. The "uneasy
conscience of isolationism" has its opportunity for fulfillment
in happy co-operation with other evangelicals. "An appre-ciation
of Christ as Lord of history," to use Dean Larson's
words of Monday evening, is a particularily relevant con-cept
in a world moving toward "oneness" along a great
variety of avenues. "The centrality of all Truth in Jesus
Christ" is still a revolutionary concept with which to meet
and penetrate social issues.
Responsible world citizenship today at least includes a
renewed spirit of cordiality within the Church. And more than
this, perhaps, in a smaller, faster-paced society, it includes re-newed
sense of personal responsibility for the corner of the
wider vif.eyard which the Lord gives to each of us.

Soviet Warning . . .
The Soviet Government warned
that it would be "forced, together
with its allies and friends to take
further measures" to aid North
Viet Nam's defense against Uni-ted
States air attacks. "No one
should doubt . . . that the Soviet
people will fulfill its international
duty to the fraternal Socialist
country."

The Soviet Union and Commun-ist
China on Saturday proclaimed
unity against imperialism as Rus-sian
Premier Alexei Kosygin com•

declared, "Our forces are superior
to the forces of imperialism" and
"victory will be ours."
Another Korea? .. .
The London Sunday Times re-ported
Sunday that Red Chinese
troops had been observed cross-ing
into North Viet Nam as well
as concentrating in force near
border. Speculations of another
Korean Conflict rise to mind.
England Bans Cigarette

The English Government an-nounced
through the House of
Commons that it would ban cig-arette
advertising on television "as
soon as practicable" because of
the danger of smoking to health.
State Department Shakeup . . .
President Johnson announced
Friday a shakeup in the State De-partment
with Averell Harriman,
now undersecretary for economic
affairs, the number three State
Department post will be replaced
by Mr. Johnson's long-time friend,
Thomas Mann. Harriman will be-come
an ambassador-at-large.
Longshoremen Back . .
The International Longshore-men's
Association rejected a bid
Friday for a complete settlement
of the 33-day dock strike, but
ordered longshoremen back to
work in all but two ports Satur-day.
"New Conservation" ...
President Johnson, in a message
to Congress Monday, Feb. 8, called
for a "new conservation" to save
our cities and countryside from
the onrush of urbanized society.
This marks the first time the
president has sent a special mes-sage

Clifford Larson, Dean of Bethel
College, addressed the Historical
Banquet Monday evening to begin
Founders Week. His topic was
"The Church On Mission in Higher
Education."
In the context of the Founder's
Week theme of "Towards Unity of
the Spirit," Dean Larson narrow-ed
his considerations to the "unity
of churches and church schools in
the face of much disunity through-out
American history."
His thesis centered on the
five major aims that churches
should be accomplishing and
can best be done through their
own schools. "There are three
traditional concerns of churches
for their schools which are uni-quely
American. The first of
these concerns is the training of
leadership," said Dean Larson.
He said that the church related
school fulfills a unique service in
providing learning suitable to a
particular tradition and situation.
"Such learning is not secular, not
foreign, but not necessarily pro-by
J. David Patterson
The Founders have arrived and
there was no student senate meet-ing
this week. You may assume a
cause and effect relationship. This
does give me an opportunity to
explain briefly about one of the
senate's projects now under in-vestigation
by a committee.
The suggestion was made at a
recent meeting that the senate in-vestigate
the possibilities of a cam-pus
radio station. Vern Lewis,
heads this committee.
Vast are the advantages of such
a station on campus, since the lack
of communication here has be-come
a noticable problem with re-spect
to publicizing various all
school and specific group events,
It would be an excellent medium
by which to alleviate this prob-lem.
This would be an opportun-ity
for all campus functions to
reach more students.
Because facilities do not permit
the establishment of a large licen-sed
transmitter, the station would
have to be small, broadcasting in
this block only. Hamline Univer-sity
has a similar set up which
seems to be working very well.
Projects of this nature should
be of interest to all of the stu-inating
study in a subtly woven
plot defying analysis until the
very end. Even then—the conclud-ing
episode reveals that this is
not about Leamas or Mundt or
Control. This long time national
best seller is a deft unmasking
of the rationale and morals of
espionage.
The hero—if he is such—loses
his "touch" and is shelved in the
secret disbursements department
of British Intelligence. From there
he goes down and out—out of the
country to the Netherlands and
East Germany in the employ of
Communist agents. In a complete
series of events he is used as a
willing pawn in a power struggle
—before again being shelved.
When you read "The Spy Who
Came in From the Cold" note
carefully how the plot is the
vincal. It provides equipment to
make every man a missionary."
He stated the second concern as
indoctrination of the faith.
"The church's concern in this
area is to attain full acceptance
of faith in terms of a particular
interpretation and to reinforce
this faith by all other learning,"
Larson said.
Larson said that a third tradi-tional
concern was to provide a
protective community for youth.
"The church's concern is to pro-vide
a situation where the weak
become strong and the rebel is
reformed. Ideally, the church
seeks to provide protection of
world during a youth's impression-able
years.
"The church school provides a
more total Christian environment
that is all-pervasive as the church
desires, but is not as flexible as
youth demands and needs.
"So church schools need not
shun the traditional concerns of
churches. These can be legiti-mate
aims as part of the larger
dents. Yet seldom do I see a large
number of students interested
enough to attend the meetings of
the senate. Senate meetings are
not closed and the students are
given the opportunity to speak if
they feel so inclined.
Student Senate this year seems
to be more interested. in its inter-action
with the students and can
very well be commended.
Letter:
Clarifies Stand
To the editor:
Permit me to correct two mis-conceptions
arising out of my in-terview
with your reporter.
(1) The spirituality of Bethel
does not depend "entirely" upon,
the students. Faculty play a vital
role. Students do, however, dom-inate
the character of Bethel.
(2) The 45 students completing
the Campus Crusade witnessing
program were the Gideon's Band:
but this does not mean those in-volved
in this or any other parti-cular
activity on campus are the
only faithful Christians.
Pastor Glenn
concretized version of Le Carre's
point. Control, a man embodying
mystery and inscrutable wisdom
beyond the deadly daily ma-chinations
of spying says, "We
do disagreeable things so that
ordinary people here and else-where
can sleep safely in their
beds at night" (p. 19).
He, too, is willing to kill lest
his enemies "come and destroy .
our nation" (John 11:48 RSV). Thin
view of Cold War survival shows
the irony of a democracy protect-ing
its own existence by sacrific-ing
the individual on the altar of
the state.
Control and Caiaphas are a-,
greed upon at least one point of
practical politics. Do you agree?
No? Why do you consent by your
silence?
learning involved. But they still
tend to be a mere extension of
narrowly conceived church func-tions,
using higher education as
a tool for restricted purposes.
Hence if we stop with these, the
churches themselves become in-effectual,
a crippled cause of
Christ becomes withdrawn in a
small in-bred group," said Lar-son.
"I feel that Christian higher edu-cation
has a prophetic function to
perform for the churches beyond
these worthy traditional goals,"
said Larson.
"There are two prophetic func-tions,"
he said. "These arise out
of an appreciation of Christ as
Lord of history and as Creator and
Sustainer of the universe."
"The first," said Larson, "is to
be a bridge between churches
and a secular society." He de-fined
"bridge" as a re-interpre-tation
of the Gospel in terms of
changing conditions to make it
relevant and to bring its impact
to bear.
"The second is to serve as a mis-sion
to scholarship, by entering
into the battle of ideas with the
conviction that there is a centrality
of all truth in Christ, that we
have a special responsibility to
show integrity of faith to reason,
and to help the world realize the
necessity of keeping wisdom and
morality together," said Larson.
Concluding his speech the dean
said, "I believe that these five
functions can best be performed
by the church in its own institu-tions."

New Campus Takes Shape,
Buildings Gain Character
First the holes were dug and mounds of dirt marked the beginnings
of what is now assuming the shape of the new Bethel Seminary. Soon
steel girders, heavy machinery and cement mixers moved onto the
scene and a spidery, orange cage commanded the attention of onlookers
and workmen.
The cage has been assuming a new character during recent weeks
and begins now to possess a more dignified look, wearing proudly its
brick and mortar. Yet there is much to be done before students, pro-fessors,
books, desks and blackboards will find a tabernacle here.
Months of planning and committee meetings have gone into the
designing of the seminary complex, and more months of building and
finishing lie ahead. The College buildings are still in the blue print
stage. Bethel's future holds good prospects for sounds of bulldozers,
shovels, and dump trucks, sights of girders, more girders, and tons
of bricks and boards.

School Employs CPA
To Upgrade Accounting
Mr. Ken White has been hired
by Bethel College to head up the
accounting and financial affairs of
the school.
He graduated from high school
in St. Petersburg, Florida, and has
spent most of his life there. He
attended Stetson Baptist Univer-sity
and received his B.S. degree
in business and accounting from
Florida State University.
He continued working there
after graduation as assistant in-ternal
auditor. He did his gradu-ate
work at the University of Ken-tucky.
He served for 3 1/2 years as
Director of Finance and Account-ing
at Florida Presbyterian Col-lege.
While in that position he attend-ed
two summer courses at the Uni-versity
of Kentucky in the Busi-ness
Management Institute under
scholarship from the Southern As-sociation
of College and University
Business Officers.
He says of his goals at Bethel, "I
The following is reprinted from the Wheaton
Record of Jan. 14, 1965, as written by Loren Wil-kinson.
The Clarion also solicits your reaction to
the Jung article.
From the fire of a final challenge, strong
with the strength of a living Saviour and united
by the strength of the Sacrament with 7,000 bro-thers,
the students came from the Urbana mis-sionary
convention two weeks ago. Billy Graham
was the speaker at the evening meeting, which
was followed by a midnight communion service.
Not all the students left the Assembly Hall
silenced and stirred by the evangelist's words—
not stirred, at least, in the usual way. Robert
Jung, a student columnist in the Daily ILLINI,
wrote a reaction to Dr. Graham in the finest
Angry Young Man tradition, part of which I now
reprint for your enlightenment.
"I cannot trust people who are absolutely honest.
I am deeply suspicious of men who are flamboyantly
sincere. Those with nothing to hide usually have
nothing really worth revealing. Clean-cut, All-Ameri-can
boy types, those of doleful countenance who
stare out from Wheaties boxes, those who get paid
to repeat cliches we do not reject simply because
we do not listen, are as pure and wholesome as the
little flakes inside the box, and just as interesting.
Is the Human imagination really adequate to the
task of dreaming up vices sufficient for the Jack
Armstrong's who do not smoke, drink, swear or
fornicate?
These thoughts were prompted by the recent
visit of Billy Graham whose act played in sports
arena last week in lieu of the basketball team. Here
is a man who goes "snap, crackle, pop" to the close-the-
bars-on-Sunday set.
While flamboyantly promulgating old-time re-ligion
and what has come to be the "conventional"
morality only of the lower middle class, Billy has
been silent on the foremost moral issue of our time
Civil rights with all its implications . .. .
Billy's boys want to keep the heathen away
from booze, and they want the heathen to wear
clothes, and trade their own subtle and beautiful
religion of the Arya Dharma for some folksy hymns
and a guilt complex. Billy is a moral force whose
crusades have the quixotic tinge of the Anti-Saloon
League. Which is to say, they have no tinge at all.
Billy's moral obtuseness and sex obsession leads
him to believe that non-marital sexual relations are
the worst of all possible sins . . . This thin Brando
with a Bible caused the matrons to remember their
sins with something other than regret. So wistfully
they would confess, so dried up and incapable of
further sin!
Billy is Middletown's sound track. As such, he
rides Quixote- like against the city, against the Twen-tieth
century, against any healthy expression of
inter-sexual feeling, unless the expression has been
legalized by the state, like getting a building permit
or a dog license. Frued must have been thinking
about this Wheaties box religion when he called it
"patently infantile . . incongruous with reality".
Overlooking the bitter column-,
ist's language (columnists tend
sometimes to overstate their
case) , Jung ' says at least one
good thing here : the American
Christian's attiude to the Negro
is a long and tragic contradic-tion
to the Commandment and
the Love which should be the
force behind missions. But I
disagree very much with most
of what he says—disagree with
him, and pity him, and fear for
the culture which twisted him
so. I was going to point out,,
however, how our mockery here
—jokes about the lunches and
the Victorian Christian life,
lead logically to the same atti-tude.
But even while I was typ-ing
this, I showed Jung's column
to a couple of fellow-students
who, surprisingly, agreed with
the essence of Jung's argument,
if argument it is. The comment
of one : "Well, it's true, isn't
it ?"
This upsets me, because I
would rather be on Billy Gra-ham's
side than Robert Jung's :
this is a case when the line be-tween
Good and Bad (I think
there is such a line) is drawing
absolutes out of relativities. I
think that if a Wheaton student
is not in essential disagreement
with Jung's sentiments, he is
probably living an immense self'
contradiction—but then maybe
we are all living self-contradic-tions.

Late Monday night, Feb. 8, Phil-anthropic
Charlie came to aid six
Bethel freshmen from the dregs
of upperclass oblivion to the ele-vated
esteem of the public eye.
Larry Peterson, Peter Porter, Tom
Daniels, Dallas Richards, Andy
Lehman and Bo Tunestam were
on their way to fame.
The course of events goes some-,
thing like this: The sextet became
quite popular with the Edgren
dorm set when Charlie visited
their rooms. Occupying their facili-ties—
beds, rugs, chairs, and even
showers—Charlie made his bene-ficiaries
quite popular figures.
The eyes of the entire college
constituency focused on the fresh-men
when Charlie obliged them
by interrupting the Northwestern,
Bethel game when he retrieved a
hot dog tossed onto the floor.
Charlie even graced the six with
his presence at their classes.
Well, by now Charlie had al-most
established the recipients of
his philanthropic interests as cele-brities.
Soon came newspaper cov-on
campus in bristling Beatle wigs
—minus their wives, who later
commented that this was not the
ideal solution for their husbands'
baldness. Foremost on the visitors'
activity list are all night bull ses-sions
and record coffee consum-tion,
two perennial Bethel favour-ites.
Though demand for on-campus
housing is always high, the most
-desirable location seems to be the
girls' locker room. Women's phy-sical
education instructor Marilyn
Starr observes that "under the
bleachers" accommodations are
eagerly sought after because of
their handy access to meetings—
general sessions are held directly
overhead, an advantage which is
not lost on discerning alumni in-terested
in a few minutes' extra
sleep.
Other locations also have
their special attraction: early-morning
ice fishing is possible
for those at Lake Valentine,
while music house residents can
shave to the strains of Mendel-ssohn
wafting down from the
practice rooms.
To meet increasing demand for
on-campus quarters, alumni secre-tary
Dwight Jessup reportedly is
considering pup tents behind the
seminary and trailer space on the
Fairgrounds. For some seventy
alumni this year, strategic hous-ing
is recreating the warm nostal-gia
of academic life in dignified
and disciplined reminiscence.

This is the first of a series
of articles to be written by three
recent Bethel College graduates.
They will review contemporary
social, philosophic, and theologi-cal
issues in the Christian liber-al
arts tradition of their alma
mater.
An animal often found wander-ing
around campuses like ours is
the self-styled "Enlightened Chris-tian
Intellectual". There are many
species in this genus and many
of us are found in one of them.
In truth, many of the breeds are
very noble, and all are needed, if
we are going to get anything done
in a serious manner at a Liberal
Arts College. But sometimes we
need to re-examine ourselves, you
know, for fleas, ticks, or maybe
even laughs.
The Theological Collie is quite
a noble beast. He is never caught
playing with the fundamental pup-pies.
He quotes the "Big Time"
Collies like Tillich and Bultmann
and reacts to memories of his own
puppyhood. Books published by
Zondervan or Moody Press are not
to be found in his kennel, although
he keeps a few of Erdman's on
the lower shelves. He is acquaint-ed
with Kierkegaard for purposes
of prestige, although it must be
said that the real meaning of
works like Sorin's Fear and
Trembling are unknown to him.
Real involvement, contemporary
relevancy, etc., etc., are found in
the coffee shop with the other
Collies.
Never associating with the Col-lies,

the Evangelical Poodle. His nour-ishment
comes in a distinguished
fortnightly package, which he
loves to carry around, but seldom
digests. He, too, is embarrassed
by the shenanigans of the puppy,
but takes a lovingly tolerant view
of him. After all, he was a pup
once himself.
Raised in a nice suburban ken-nel,
he is getting concerned for
the less fortunate breeds in the
inner city. But so far he has ven-tured
in only a few times. Erd-man
is really the thing with
this pooch. Harper and Row he
likes also, although they let in
quite a few of the wilder breeds.
He desires to be creative, but is
far too domesticated for that.
The shaggy Fox Terriers irri-tate
the Poodle. For one thing,
they are never groomed. And they
are always barking in that high-pitched
tone. They read James
Baldwin and J. D. Salinger and
wear combat boots around cam-pus.
You often see him with a
mysterious, paperback between
his teeth, growling about some
Fundamentalist Poodle. Unlike the
poodle, the Terrier is creative as
all get out. And the secret is,
he's irrational. If you're irration-al,
even spilt milk is aesthetic.
If you've noticed one common
denominator between these breeds,
it's that they are sure they are
no longer puppies.
But, who really are the puppies?

This Founders' Week finds many
Bethel Alumni and friends reliv-ing
"the good old days" on cam-pus.
In the past, the school's prac-tice
has been to accommodate
some of these visitors in campus
facilities, particularly the men's
dorm and school-owned houses.
Chairman for this year's annual
"Camp-in" is Ron Nelson, who re-ports
43 men lodging in Edgren
basement, 6 in the Music House,
8 choicely accommodated in the
girls' locker room and 12 at scenic
Valentine Lake. Those selected
for on-campus housing are pre-dominantly
pastors because, ac-cording
to Mr. Nelson, "We feel
this lends dignity to the arrange-ments."
In recent years, however, cer-tain
incidents have belied Mr.
Nelson's statement. Entering
whole - heartedly into every
phase of campus life, pastors
have shown great fondness for
repeating the more humorous
aspects of their own college
days. A traditional events of
"old grads" in Edgren basement
seems to be the water fight,
though short-sheeting and col-lapsing
beds also claim enthus-iastic
devotees.

"I want to give the students a

Pearl Englund in telling about her
weekly open houses.
Each Sunday afternoon for two
years Dr. Englund has opened her

John Alexis Edgren was born
on February 20, 1839. Since the
week of February 20-27, 1939, the
100th anniversary of his birth, he
has been comemorated every
year for his important contribu-tions
to the ministry of the Baptist
General Conference.
The roots of the educational
institution which J. A. Edgren
founded go back to Minnesota
territorial days. The first church
which was the beginning of the
Swedish Baptist Conference was
founded in Rock Island, Illinois
in 1852.
In 1866 the Baptists of Sweden,
opened a theological seminary for
their young men. Dr. Edgren was
one of the original faculty mem-bers
of this old country Bethel.
There he taught physics, geograph-y,
and astronomy.
The formal organization of the
Baptist General Conference, then
called the Scandinavian Baptist
General Conference, was establish-ed
in 1879. The year found the
seminary located in Saint Paul
good food and interesting conver-sation.
Students from many Twin
City colleges including Concordia,
Augsburg, Lutheran Bible Insti-tute,
St. Paul Bible College, Bethel,
and the University have visited
her.
These students do not come
by formal invitation; they come
Carlson
under a new name—the Swedish
American Baptist Seminary.
However, permanent location in
Saint Paul was not established
until 1913, when the Seminary
merged with the academy. The
Bethel Academy was begun eight
years earlier in 1905.
The seminary was too much of
a specialized course for the aver-age
Christian worker, so the Bi-ble
and Missionary Training School
was established. In 1931 the edu-cafAonal
progVam of the Con-ference
was further advanced
with the establishment of the ju-nior
college with Professor Wal-fred
Danielson as dean.
Gradually the junior college re-placed
the Academy, which was
finally discontinued in 1936, and
it also took over the curriculum
of the Bible and Missionary Train-,
ing School.
Another step toward Edgren's
plan for a total educational pro-gram
was the expansion of the
junior college to a four-year pro-gram.
Concerning this move, Presi-dent
Wingblade wrote, "The four,
year college will enable us to
train better workers for the home
and foreign missions."
because they know that they—
and any friends they may bring
—will be welcomed. "They just
come over after church," smiled
Dr Englund. "We always have
room. One Sunday we had twen-ty-
four students here. I just serv-ed
bouffet-style and the kids sat
anywhere and ate off trays."
Dr. Englund is never sure of the
exact number of people who will
be there since many of the kids
just drop in whenever they can,
but she always has plenty of food..
"I always have an extra ham or
something in the refrigerator,"
she laughed.
The young people do not visit
Dr. Englund just because of her
delicious food, however. They come
to discuss anything that interests
them, from books to ideas and be-lids.
"I usually don't try to direct
the conversation," Dr. Englund.
said. "I just want the kids to talk
freely." Occassionally, however,
she has gently guided it in order
to help the young people there.
For instance, when a young
Mormon girl was there, the
group's discussion turned to the
validity of the Bible. More re-cently
a Catholic girl admitted
at one of the discussions that
her church was not meeting her
needs. Through the group's dis-cussion
and through personal
help from Dr. Englund, the girl
is now finding fulfillment for
her life.
"I really want Bethel students
to come to these Sunday gather-ings.
They're fun," commented Dr.
Englund. All of those students
who have been to her home can
surely agree.
Stassen Speaks
At YGOP Dinner
"It is important that every
Christian become a politician,"
stated J. Robert Stassen, guest
speaker at a Lincoln Day Dinner
last Friday night. Sponsored by
the college Young Republicans,
over thirty members attended the
commemorative event held in the
President's Dining Room.
A graduate of Bethel, and now
president of the North Central
Life Insurance Company, Stassen
expressed concern about the bad
connotations of the word, "poli-tics."
Defining it as nothing more
or less than the art of self-govern-ment,"
and observing that "if
the people don't govern them-selves,
someone else will," the
nephew of Harold Stassen urged
students to become involved in,
political activity.
Stassen strenghtened his case
for party identification by con-trasting
the party structures of
the United States, Great Britian,
and France, in relation to the
liberal-conservative power strug-gle.
Noting that whereas in Great
Britain the (liberal-conservative)
issue is settled at election, and in
France by the coalition formed by
the elections, Stassen emphasized
that in the United States, "tra-ditionally
the liberal-conservative
battle has taken place within the
parties before the elections.'
"And," he added, "it's the person
who's active in a party who helps
shape ideas on which the party
operates."
The former member of the
State Central Planning Committee
pointed to another uniqueness,
the role of compromise in the
American political system. While
stressing the importance of coin ,
promising in approach, he warned
that, "as Republican, human be-ings,
and Christians we shouldn't
compromise principles."

The news of the deaths of Nate
Saint, Pete Fleming, Roger You-derian,
Ed McCully, and Jim Elliot
at the hands of the Auca Indians
in Ecuador brought sadness to the
hearts of thousands of Americans
several years ago.
The meaning of sacrifice in a
missionary's life was clearly por-trayed
in the incident, and many
of us realized more clearly the
hazards of missionary activity as
we shared with the families of
these men in their loss.
"Through Gates of Splendor,"
Mrs. Elizabeth Elliot's story of
the martyrdom of her husband,
and "Shadow of the Almighty,"
Jim Elliot's diary have sold a
total of almost a half million
copies wth Mrs. Elliot's third
book, and are available in several
languages.
Mrs. Elliot's latest book, The
Savage My Kinsman, describes
through pictures and narrative her
experiences as she tried to reach
the Aucas with the Gospel mes-sage.
The story of her contacts with
members of the tribe, of their ac-counts
of the massacre, and of
their acceptance of Mrs. Elliot and
her daughter, is a moving account.
The pictures included in the
book serve to forcefully portray
the temperament of the tribe
and the reactions of the people
to Mrs. Elliot's ministry.
Mrs. Elliot will be on campus
Thursday and Friday, and will be
speaking at the all Campus Wor-ship
service on Friday. She will
speak at one of the Thursday-Fri-day
sessions, as well.

It is written in Proverbs that a word fitly spoken is like apples of
gold in pictures of silver. The beauty of that smile is that it
teaches humility, especially to a journalist or newspaper editor, whose
job it is to use words. All of us (and I write as a sentamentalist) have
need of humility before the power that is in the words we produce.
There are days when all of us toiling in the vinyard of words
have reason for a motto, succinctly stated, which says "Lord give me
this day my daily idea, and forgive me the one I had yesterday." Daily
ideas are rare, and their scarcity leads one to floor-walking days before
the deadline. Brotherhood Week approaches and fades away, shedding
clusters of implications concerning the equality of men.
In some discussions the belief is implied that man is born into
the world without a capacity for brotherhood and that our effort
must be to add this quality to his spirit. This is not an accurate state-ment
of the problem. Rather, I believe that most men come into the
world with a ready capacity for brotherhood, but that this quality
often becomes partly lost and deeply buried under fear and ignorance.
In its place grows prejudice.
Athletics has strode a giant step in lifting away, piece by piece,
the deluge of old prejudice, the dense weight of ignorance, and the
twisted members of fear. One need only to play on a non-Christian
team with both races active participants, to realize the relevancy of
that statement. Respect and admiration replace the traditional predu-dices
that had been bored into twisted minds and hearts. But it is
rot enough to consider merely the athletic point of view.
Brotherhood is a rescue mission for all of us, which all of us must
perform for and upon ourselves in order to eradicate fear, ignorance
and prejudice.

The Bethel Royals basketball
team, after scoring three consecu-tive
victories over Northland and
Northwestern o f Minneapolis,
moves into another conference tilt
with Northland on Thursday after-noon
at 4:00 o'clock in the Bethel
fieldhouse. Four days later the St.
Paul lads will entertain Lakeland
College of Sheboygan, Wisconsin
on Feb. 22 at 8:00 in another home
game.
The Royals, showing rapid and
marked improvement throughout
the season, are now sporting a
8 and 7 record. The smashing
97-73 victory over the Northland
Lumberjacks, followed by the
crushing of Northwestern College,
were evidence of a turning tide
for the Royals. Less floor errors
and consistent play saw the cagers
piling up a lead of 30 points and
more in both games.
The starting team of Don Moore,
Jerry Moulton, Dave Bjorklund,
George Palke and Edgar Peterman
is expected to play the starting
role against Northland on Thurs-day.
Spelling Palke and Moulton at

After spending a dismal season
last year at the bottom of the
heap, the Pages capped a success-ful
turnabout by defeating the Pea-sants
51-44 in a hard fought game.
The victory enabled the Pages to
finish the season with a flawless
7-0 record and to wrest the "A"
League Intramural Basketball
Championship away from the de-fending
champion Jesters, who
were thumped by the Squires 61-
32.
In other "A" League games
played last week, the Barons stav-ed
off the stubborn Dukes 46-42,
the Counts drubbed the Faculty
63-45, and the second place Sem-inarians
won by forfeit over the
Knights. The final two slates of
games have been cancelled in or-der
to facilitate the commencing
of volleyball following Founders'
Week.
Not only did the Pages cop the
"A" League crown, but they also
made a clean sweep by grabbing
the "B" League Championship.
Last week the Pages rolled over
the Knights to finish the season
with an unblemished 5-0 record.
The Barons held onto their share
of second place by trouncing the
Jesters 92-55 while the other run-ner-
up, the Peasants, downed the
Seminary 57-31.
Even as the Pages completed a
successful season, so Intramural
Basketball as a whole completed
a successful season. The three
basic objectives as outlined by
Supervisor Gene Glader in the In
Wednesday, February 17, 1965
run this week. Veterans bolster
the Lumberjacks at every position,
notably at forward and center.
Coach Healy, who consistently
insists that his team is taking the
tramural Handbook are as fol-lows:
"First, participation by all
. . . Second, development of lea-dership
ability . . . Third, just
plain FUN." Investigation shows
these goals were accomplished.
To encourage participation by
all, the aforementioned "B" Lea-gue
was added. Carl Linden, In••
tramural Basketball Supervisor,
said that his chief concern was
to get more individual team mem-bers
to participate at a level com-parable
to their ability. He felt
this concern was accomplished as
evidenced by the mere existence
of a second league, whereas last
year the league never progressed
further than on paper, much less,
on the court.
Opportunities for one to develop
his leadership ability are varied.
Any participant realizes that he
need not be the most proficient
scorer, the strongest rebounder,
or the fanciest ball handler to be
recognized as a leader, although
this often may be the case. One
may also enhance his leadership
ability as a result of being team
captain, being an official, or just
by making himself an integral part
of team spirit.
The third objective, to have
FUN, is one which can only be
fully answered by each competi-tor.
However, the general con-sensus
of Intramural leaders is
that this year's leagues were ones
in which more participants had
more fun than the previous years.
One reason for this lies in the gen-games
"one at a time" is optimis-tically
hoping for another Pioneer
Conference championship, and a
victory on Thursday could move
his team even closer.
eral improvement in the Official's
Association, which this year has
provided an increase in quantity
and quality in officiating.
On the whole then, one can say
that steps have been taken in the
right direction to achieve the ob-jectives.
Senior Larry Stair says,
"I think we have one of the finest
Intramural programs around."

Sporting an unimpressive record
of 3 wins and 8 losses into the
last two weeks of wrestling com-petition,
ten Bethel men hope to
salvage the season by making good
their desire to bring a Pioneer
Conference Wrestling Champion-ship
to Bethel College and Coach
Dean Gilland.
None of the wrestlers prefer to
discuss the outcome of their past
wrestling matches but look for-ward
in anticipation to the com-ing
matches. Though Bethel's re-cord
doesn't show it, this is the
strongest set of matmen she has
been able to muster in the sport's
four year career at Bethel.
There are ten positions to be
filled for the coming Confer-ence
match and not one of them
is guaranteed to any one wrest-ler.
This stiff competitive spirit
had added to the strength of
Bethel's team.
This coming Friday, Feb. 19,
Bethel will meet her toughest com-petition
since St. Cloud in the
form of Michigan Tech's wrestlers.

will set out to avenge a 19-18 loss
to Concordia College (St. Paul).
