Tonight when the Bethel Royals
bite into the gridiron turf at Nor-ton
Field of Hamline University
they will taste their first bit of
competition from a Minnesota Col-legiate
conference team.
The outcome of the game tonight
will throw a great amount of light
on how soon Bethel should be ad-mitted
to the state conference.
Challenging Hamline has been
one of the biggest steps taken in
Bethel's athletic endeavors and to
make a good showing against the
Pipers will add much in making
plans for the future.
Boasting one of the finest teams
Hamline has been able to field in
several years, the Pipers will be
the strongest and largest team a
Bethel eleven has ever faced.
Hamline has had very little trou-ble
in rolling over its opposition
thus far with decisive victories
over Augsburg, St. Mary's and
Duluth Branch.
Hamline, who is well fortified
with a nearly impenetrable line
averaging over 200 pounds and a
backfield composed of several ex-perienced
runners, coupled with
the psychological effect of the
first game for the Royals in the
"big time," and the loss of several
Blue and Gold players has fostered
a pessimistic attitude in the minds
of the Royals.
Coach Winterble has sent his
Royal charges through a week of
strenuous work in preparation for
the contest, which could very like-ly
become an annual Snelling Ave.
duel.
Switching Bob Carlson to a full-back
position in place of the in-jured
Jim Baxter has been one of
the major changes in the line-up.
Wes Peterson, sidelined by an
ankle injury, should be ready for
action and his 185 pounds will be
of much value to the Bethel line.
Quarterback Bob Kendall and
center Mel Nygren are also set for
duty and will add much to the
spirit of the squad as they face
the seemingly superior Pipers.
However, remembering that Min-nesota
sprang a David over Goliath
last weekend on Illinois is an in-centive
for the Royals to put forth
their best efforts and for the
Bethel fans to turn out and sup-port
the team wholeheartedly.
Bethel followers, holding student
activity tickets will be admitted up-on
presentation of the card.

ovals Meet Pipers Tonight
74e ,17o-u)4
by Nancy Schnorr
Her heart leaped every time she thought about it. That day! That
day! Oh, will it ever come? She counted the days on the calendar—just
three more days. Can it be possible? As these three days passed by ever
so slowly, Kathy became more and more excited. She had been care-fully
watching her prey. Each day she realized more the importance of
what she had to do. Finally, the day came.. When she got up in the
morning her knees felt so weak she could hardly stand up. Could she—
should she really do it? Doubt and fear were beginning to creep into her
mind. Maybe—No!—she thought—I must!! I must!! The hours passed
so slowly. She didn't hear a word her teachers said in any of her classes
that day. Her class was finally over. It was 11:30. Just forty-five more
minutes and she would have to perform her dreaded deed. Her face was
pale and she felt sick all over. 11:35-11:36—Oh, dear—she thought-
! just can't sit here and wait for the time to pass. She reached for a
magazine and somehow got interested in a story. The next time she
looked at her watch it was 12:00. Just fifteen more minutes. Slowly she
made her way toward the college building. 12:05-12:06-12:10-12:13-
12: 1 4—Then the time came. It was 12:15.
All of a sudden there he was standing in the hall, of all the unex-pected
places. It was even going to be harder now. Weak and trembling
she approached him, and in a timid, unnatural voice she said, "Dean
Carlson, I just wanted to speak to you about that "D" slip for English
Lit."
Alumnus Donates Musical Works
OF Guglernus Dulay to Library
The musical works of Dufay are coming to our library as a gift
from Chester Stripe, alumnus, Librarian Marina Axeen announced.
Guillernus Dufay was a 15th-century composer known as Nether-land's
greatest composer. His works are now being translated for the
first time by the American Institute of Musicology in Rome of which
Dr. Henrich Besseler is editor.
According to Robert Sandin,
chairman of the Political Action
committee on campus, said the
reason Freeman didn't speak here
last week as scheduled was due
to his late arrival at the Minne-apolis
airport.
Mr. Freeman will speak on the
subject announced for his previous
engagement, "Political Campaigns
and Their Role in the Democratic
Government." Thomas A. Flinn,
Freeman's campaign manager, said
that the gubernatorial candidate
would try to point out serious
failures in that important part of
the democratic process.

FMF Poll Sets
$7,500 As Goal
A $7,500 goal in missionary giv-ing
was the result of a student
poll announced in chapel last Fri-day.
Wally Anderson, stewardship
committee chairman, revealed the
majority of the 250 ballots favored
the above sum.
The missionary offering is divid-ed
on the following basis: Foreign
missions 50 percent; Home missions
20 percent; General Conference
Board of Education 20 percent;
Miscellaneous missions and Con-ference
Auxiliary board 5 percent.
Each week a $280 offering must
be made to achieve the goal. The
Religious council is arranging Fri-day
Chapel programs which will
give students a graphic picture of
missionary need.
Weekend Graham
Meetings Are Held
Close to Campus
When Dr. Billy Graham conducts
his evangelistic meetings in St.
Paul, Saturday October 25 and
Sunday October 26, he will preach
within walking distance of Bethel
college—at the state fair grounds
hippodrome. This is the building
that was used for the Conference
Centennial meetings last summer.
Seldom do the people at Bethel
have so convenient an opportunity
to gather at a large Christian
rally. Because the hippodrome is
less than a mile from Bethel, the
usual transportation and parking
problems will be eliminated.
The hippodrome seats 5,800 peo-ple,
but for the Billy Graham
meetings, the arena will also be
used to make, a seating capacity of
about 15,000. When Dr. Graham
spoke at the fair grounds two years
ago, the outdoor grandstand was
filled with 35,000 people.
The Saturday evening meeting
at 7:30 p.m. is sponsored by Youth
for Christ organization. Bethel's
Chapel Choir has been asked to
join with singing groups from Twin
City Christian schools to form a
giant choir.
The meeting on Sunday is sched-uled
at 2:30 p.m. and will be broad-cast
as Graham's "Hour of Decis-ion."
With Dr. Graham for both meet-ings
will be Cliff Barrows, song
leader; Beverly Shea, soloist, and
Tedd Smith, pianist.
An extra edition of the CLAR-ION
is planned for riext Thurs-day
to stimulate interest in the
campus political activities in
connection with the coming na-tional
election.
Our library will receive the vol-umes
on a subscription basis, as
they are completed. According to
Miss Bisgrove, assistant professor
of music, there will be 20 volumes
in the entire set, their worth being
$200.
Chester Stripe, donator of this
valuable masterpiece, attended
Bethel college and seminary in
1940-42. At present he is doing
graduate work at the University of
Minnesota and is employed as a
railroad switchman at Minnesota
Transfer. He showed similar inter-est
in Bethel last year by present-ing
the library with the complete
works of Bach.
Nik Dag Program
Remains a Secret
What's up November 1? Why
Nikolina's as everyone knows. It
will be in the Field house at 7:30
p.m.
But what's the program going to
be? The program committee is very
reticent. "It's going to be terrific,"
committee members say,—"whole-some
entertainment, diversified
program and special inside talent."
But that's all they'll tell. There
will be the "marriage" ceremony,
of course, because that's tradition-al,
but the rest remains a mystery.
The committee has hinted that
since it's the day after Halloween,
that could have something to do
with it.
Sophomores planning the pro-gram
are Ronald Olson, Marlys
Malmsten, Bonnie Wicklund, Bev-erly
Mullin, Ronald Palosaari and
Gene Glader.
On the decorations committee
are Jim Forsell, Jim Baxter, Chuck
Schultz, Marjorie Knapp, Florence
Pruessner and Lola Kleinsasser.
Ann Littlefield, Eloise Anderson,
Norman Moore and Elwood Erick-son
comprise the publicity com-mittee.

Without doubt every Bethel student should deem it his duty
to carve his name on the library funiture. A close observation of the
facts at hand would readily convince the skeptic of the wisdom of such
a practice.
In the one hundred and seventy-six, years our country has been
united, one hundred and seventeen men and women have been singled
out as being famous (so say the historians). This list includes presidents,
generals, statesmen, writers, and inventors. Looking into their individual
backgrounds we discover that ninety-one were college graduates, and of
this number eighty-three graduated from colleges with enrollments
under five hundred.
A further inquiry into statistics reveals that at present there are
only seventy-one accredited colleges of under five hundred students in
the entire country. Therefore, on the basis of historical precident, the
next fifty years will probably produce thirty-six truly great people,
and, in accordance with other data, twenty-seven of these celebrities
will be graduates of schools of less than five hundred enrolled students.
Since Bethel is included in these seventy-one colleges the probability
is thirty-eight in a hundred that one of these world famous persons
will be a Bethel graduate.
Therefore, since this probability is so high and that any piece
of furniture with the hand-engraved signature of such a famous cele-brity,
would be virtually priceless, the solution to Bethel's financial
and advertising needs for the future lies within our grasp. If a single
student fails to cooperate this entire project is placed in jeopardy. Inas-much
that there are three millon, one hundred and fifty-three thousand,
six hundred and eight square inches of carving space on our library
furniture, there should be no excuse.
This, of course, does not apply to the faculty.

Editorial Notes
We have an obligation to meet next Thursday. It is a civil, a moral
and a Christian obligation that faces us when the Red Cross calls upon
us for a pint of our blood. Whether you believe Korea is a police action
or an all-out war, the fact remains that men are dying for the express
purpose of preserving freedom for you and me. Can we take that
lightly? Can we shirk our responsibility? What would we have done
if Christ had said that He didn't want to go and shed His blood for
suffering mankind? Doesn't the love of Christ provoke us to love our
brothers? "Love thy neighbors as thyself" is God's clear command.
Does that mean love strong enough for us give one painless pint of
blood to someone who really needs it? Last year Bethel gave the
average amount per capita (1 out of every 5) that most colleges gave.
For a Christian college, that is a shameful record. Every student and'
faculty member should volunteer. Let the doctor decide whether you
are healthy enough.
Blood is the paramount component in our physical lives. It carries
food to all the cells, it combats disease, it eliminates waste products.
Without it there can be no life. With a loss of part of it, life is in
jeopardy.
One of the greatest medical discoveries of all time, if not the
greatest, has .been that of. blood transfusion. That the blood of a healthy
person can revive the life of a sick person is a marvelous phenomenon
for which we should thank and praise God that He has given such
wisdom to men.

"Why not try a little intellec-tual

advice to aspiring suit-ors
of coed's affections. Don't
spend all your date time in na-ture
studies but match your
wits with a bit of philosophy.
Here's your cue: Drop around
to room three of the seminary
basement next Wednesday even,

Jewish thinkers thought will be
batted around a bit. After Stu-dent

instead of east. Swan Engwall,

philosophy, but, better known
for his classroom wit, will head
the "philosphie" hour.
Why Get Married
When You Can Stay Single?
by B. H.
For centuries men have been
wondering if marriage pays. It has
become increasingly apparent that
the weaker sex isn't weak. Owing
to this knowledge guys have gone
to fantastic ends to form some
closed compartment logic to keep
their grasps from slipping from the
dubious rim of the single life and
sliding into the matrimonial abyss.
Whatever resistance may have
been built up is melted in a mom-ent
by the burning glances of pre-datory
females . . . But then men
will probably keep right on court-ing
ladies and saying yes when the
women casually suggest that the
time has come to quit procrastinat-ing.
How can men avoid these pit-falls?
What are the newest trap-ping
methods for girls? These and
other questions concerning the
courtship and marriage problems
.may or may not be answered when
Dr. Virgil Olson presents his lec-ture
on Courtship and Marriage,

Royal Two-Touchdown Rally In
Final Quarter Beats Itasca 18-7
Coming to life midway through the third quarter, Bethel's Royals
scored their first touchdown, and then added two more in the final
period defeating the Itasca J. C. Vikings 18-7 last Saturday night.
The Royals, playing far below their potential, let the iron range
lads get the jump on them when the Vikings scored on their second
play from scrimmage at the beginning of the second quarter.
Bethel's first score came as the result of quarterback Cliff Schroe-der's
pass to end Dick Fast who grabbed the ball in the open, and raced
into the end zone. Don Stipe miss-ed
on the extra point attempt, the
score now standing at Itasca 7,
Bethel 6.
In the fourth period the Royals
began to look like a different ball
club and had the Vikings spreads
and passes fairly well solved. Jay
Williamson scored the second
marker for the home cause when
he found an opening between his
right tackle and end and scamper-ed
65 yards with not a defensive
hand laid on him. Stipe's attempt
for the point missed again but
Bethel took the lead 12-7.
Bob Kendall who is Bethel's regu-lar
quarterback, didn't see much
action because of a leg injury, but
he saw enough action to help the
Royals gain their final touchdown.
The redhead threw a pass to re-serve
end Don Goss, and Goss
stepped his way down the sideline
on a play that carried 25 yards.
The kick was blocked but the
Royals had the game 18-7.
Although Bethel won the game,
coach Bill Winterble was displeas-ed
with most of the playing of the
squad. "Except for the last five
minutes or so, the team made a
rather ragged showing," he said.
He cited the fine play of halfback
Harley Schroeder who was a hard
man for Itasca to bring down. Cliff
Schroeder who played his first
major quarterbacking role did a
fine job, as did Jim McFayden who
was a bear on defense all night.
