Basketball
Pep Fest Tomorrow Tomorrow's chapel period has
been turned over to the cheer-leading
squad. With Bethel's
basketball team facing a four-game
home schedule beginning tomorrow
night's contest against Bethany Jr.
College, the cheer squad hopes to
set the campus on a high pitch
for the all-important conference
games.
Bob Nelson, cheer squad captain,
expressed the purpose of the pep
fest by stating, "I hope the pep
fest will meet its end by arousing
the entire student body to faith-fully
cheer its team on to a con-ference
victory."
In addition to familiarizing stud-ents
with the school yells, the pep
fest will include brief talks by
Coach Edwards and the basketball
captain, LeRoy Sandberg. B ill
Lindroth, cheerleader beyond the
ordinary, will also be on hand.
B.G.C.Youth Work
To Be Extended
At the last annual meeting of. the
General Conference, a request was
made by the Sunday School and
present Youth director, "Brother
Bill" Tapper, that the young people
of the conference be permitted to
formulate a National Baptist Young
People's Union. The plan was first
presented to him by the Iowa Y.
P. and since then, other requests
have come to him, in favor of the
plan, from various other district
and state organizations. The Con-ference
then granted the permis-sion
to the Sunday School board to
go ahead with the plan.
A committee, composed of the
representatives from the District
and State Young Peoples, will meet
with Mr. Tapper on February 17.
during the annual Founders Week
Conference. Most of the members
of this committee a r e Bethel
students. They will formulate the
organization, to be presented for
approval to the next General Con-ference
in June.
The annual Conference will also
decide on the advisability of ap-pointing
a full-time Youth Director
who will be the advisor of the
National group. At present"Brother
Bill" has charge of both the Sunday
School Department and the Youth
work at the Conference.
FacultyPonders
Annual Retreat
The first faculty meeting of the
new year was held January 13,
1948. Several items were discussed.
First of all, the time and place
of the annual retreat for the faculty
members and their husbands and
wives was left to a committee
chosen at this session.
Also considered were the en-trance
requirements for seminaries
as set forth by the American As-sociation
of Seminaries. The theo-logical
and college departments
will work out their plans accord-ingly.
THE CLARION will be
published next on Wed-nesday,
February 4th.
Concordia is Host..)
To Debate Tourney
Concordia College at Moorhead,
Minnesota will be the host to the
two debate teams from Bethel on
February 6, 1948. The members
of the two teams, which will par-ticipate
are Harold Christenson
with Lee Kingsley, and Charles
German with Bob Daley. Vic Pear-son
is an alternate.
One team of debaters will attend
the Rocky Mountain Speech Con-ference
to be held at the University
of Denver, February 12 to 14. An-other
team from Bethel will attend
the Annual Debate Meet in Eau
Claire, Wisconsin on Febraury 20
and 21.
There is a possibility of a debate
being held at Carleton College in
Northfield, February 28, for in-experienced
debaters.
The Northwest Annual Debate
Meet will be held at St. Thomas
the first week in March.
There will be a public debate in
the Seminary Chapel on Monday,
January 26, at 7 o'clock p.m. A
team from St. Thomas will furnish
competition. Everyone who is in-terested
in world affairs should
attend for their own good.
Swedish Club Shows
Two Motion Pictures
The Swedish Club met for the
second time this year last Monday
night in the basement of the Men's
Dormitory. The meeting was well
attended, and the program featured
two films about Sweden.
The two films were titled "Schu-ic
Sweden" and "Colorful Sweden."
The latter one wa,s in technicolor,
thus showing off to advantage
Sweden's multi-colored landscape.
Also depicted were some of the
more famous landmarks, castles,
and cities. Some glimpses of the
country's important industries lent
a practical touch to the films.
The program itself was opened
with some songs and a short de-votional
period. After the showing
of the films, refreshments were
served.
Evening Prayer
Meetings Moved
A shift in the location of the
evening prayer meetings from the
college chapel to the seminary
chapel was made beginning Mon-day.
The decision for the change
was made by the Religious Council
at its regular meeting held January
14.
Feeling that the noise from the
necessary basketball practice in
the gym beneath the college chapel
interfered with the reverence of
the prayer meetings, the Council
decided that the seclusion and
more compactness offered by the
seminary chapel would add to the
spirit of the meetings.
Rooms will be made available in
the seminary building for tthe
customary splitting up on Thurs-day
evenings for specific mission-a
r y prayer groups. Wednesday
evening singspiration will also be
held in the seminary chapel.
Prof. Harold Wilson
Speaks to Clarion Staff
Professor Harold Wilson of the
University's Journalism department
spoke briefly to the Clarion staff
last Thursday evening. The essen-tials
of newswriting were outlined
and discussed. Professor Wilson has
reviewed the school paper and has
given many valuable suggestions
on improving its style and content.
As a former Bethelite w h o
worked on the paper while attend-ing
Bethel in 1936-'38, he is vitally
interested in seeing the Clarion
become a worthy representative of
a four-year college.
The -Clarion desires to improve
journalism on the Bethel campus,
and to accomplish this will sched-ule
future lectures. Those interest-ed
in attending these lectures are
cordially invited. Time and place
of lectures will be announced later.
Ma Olson to Return
Mrs. Raier ("Ma") Olson visited
the campus last week to complete
arrangements for her return as
head cook to the dining hall March
1st. She has been in St. Paul the
last several months receiving treat-ments
for her ankle which was
broken in a fall last summer.
With mid-quarters all over, the
Sophomores and Juniors will be
realxing this week-end at their
winter retreat, Camp Iduhapi, just
twenty-five miles on the other side
of Minneapolis. Chartered buses
from the Twin-city bus lines will
take everyone to the camp Friday
afternoon at 3:00 P. M. and bring
them back Sunday afternoon at
4:00 P. M.
The camp is quite large and will
accommodate 200 campers, with 14
cabins, a dining hall and recreation
building on a hill overlooking a
large lake. Outdoor activities are
being planned which will include
skating, toboganing, and sleigh-rid-ing.
At the same time, those who
prefer indoor recreation may par-ticipate
in volleyball, ping-pong,
checkers and other gables in the
large recreation hall.
An informal singspiratiou has
been planned for Saturday night
around the fireplace in the rec-reation
hall; also a devotional film
will be given on Christian service.
There will be a worship service
Sunday morning with a special
speaker.
Last year at this time, the Sopho-mores
(this year's Juniors) spent a
weekend at this winter retreat and
reserved Camp Iduhapi for this
year. However, there was not a suf-ficient
number of Juniors to make
this possible so the two classes were
combined plus the Seminary JUn-iors
of last year's Sophomore class.
It is hoped and expected that
this will be a retreat, not only from
the busy-ness of the daily routine
of studies but a retreat into God's
Word through God's Nature.
Rev. Rinell Speaks
In T. C. Churches
Rev. Oskar Rinell, "second gen-eration
missionary to China," spoke
in chapel last Tuesday. He will
speak in several churches of this
area during the next few days.
His views on China as a growing
nation are of special interest. The
Chinese Republic holds forth an
optimistic future despite its brief,
turbulent history.
Rev. and Mrs. Rinell are guests
of the school while they are in St.
Paul.

Wallace In '48?
by C. A. Applequist
Henry Wallace may be lost in the woods,
but I, for one, am glad that he's crying aloud.
I can't find much in the vague "peace, pro-gress,
and prosperity" platform to agree with,
but nonetheless, I'm avidly interested in this
man and his antics. I'll tell you why.
First of all, just for the sake of novelty, I
think it's refreshing to see a man, who only
four years ago held second place in the Dem-ocratic
administration, now "forsake" his party
entirely and tear off on a tangent of his own.
Like the circus freak-show, even though it may
not be especially worthwhile, it's unusual, so
it's interesting.
My second reason for a silent ok is this. It's
surprising; when you read history, how many
times you find that some of these boys who
were classed as nuts by their contemporaries
were actually the ones who pointed the way
towards progress. Now, Henry Wallace may be
an ignorant, idealistic, mis-led buffoon, but
then again, possibly, one of these days he
might come out with an inspirational suggest.
ion for the alleviation of a bit of our society's
pain. Then his meanderings in the last fifteen
years will be rectified. In the meantime, I say
let him talk.
Personally, I look upon Wallace much more
as a symbol than as an individual. There are
some people in this country who are sick of
the elephant and tired of the donkey. They
are highly irritated by the narrow, provincial,
bigoted attitude of our traditional politics—
they want a new, fresh approach to today's
problems. Wallace has become the symbol, the
epitome of this group—partly because he has
the nerve to stick his neck out and shout
against the so-called vested interests. At this
point, his program is certainly not coherent
or consistent, and what few portions of it are
even apparent may be wrong, but as a re-presentative
of at least a small trend of Ameri-can
thought, as the "Great White Father" of
the Lefts off the Left, Wallace may give us
some indications of the future. Keep in mind
that the progress of humanity depends soley
on justly dissatisfied people.
Let Henry say his piece.
"Then came certain of the elders of Israel
unto me, and sat before me. And the word of
the Lord, came unto me, saying, Son of man,
these men have set up their idols in their
heart. ." Exe. 14:1,2
God's word was coming in tremendous force
upon the prophet Ezekiel, leading him to
"prophesy against" a people who were com-mitted
to acts of deceit and violence. The
messages of judgment attracted certain elders
of Israel who were anxious to have a refor-mation.
But these elders had no sooner came
in to the presence of the prophet, and com-fortably
seated themselves before him, when
the prophet was made to see in them—a
superior group of irreproachable men—a con-dition
more to be dreaded than any he had
yet seen. Hidden from the eyes of men, care-fully
secluded in the secret recesses of their
hearts, were their idol tempels, where abomi-nations
were committed and God was despised.
There is solemn warning here for every one
who is anxious to be socially acceptable, and
who is careful of his testimony for Christ.
Avoid the double life! Do not permit the in-ward
man to be at variance with the outward!
Remember the warning of the sons of the
high priest Eli, who were also the "sons of
Belial", and who were therefore condemmed.
The temptation is great, for the neart le a
secret place. The "creeping things, and abomin-able
breasts" are allowed in the "chambers
of imagery" (8:12) because no one knows of
them. But as the temptation is great, so also
is the danger. "The heart is deceitful above
all things, who can know it?" "As a man
thinketh in his heart, so is he." God's judg-ment
at the last will be determined by the
heart, "for the Lord seeth not as man seeth;
for man looketh on the outward appearaz.-e,
but the Lord looketh on the heart."
21:1' a, faci

If you find it hard to understand what I'M
trying to say this week, -the explanation lies
in the fact that I have a "code id my doze"
and maybe it's so contagious that my type-writer
contracted the germ. In my misery, I
am wondering of what practical value those
"cold shots" were that we received last fall.
I think the nurse must have "shot" me with
the wrong solution because my colds have
been increased this winter. Perhaps another
visit to the Brockton "hospital" is want I
need.

minutes at least six girls have passed by and
By President Wingblade
I recall a professor of chemistry at the
University of Minnesota who used to say
in his lectures that they had any number of
of students who could carry out an idea or
work out a problem when the plan was sug-gested
to them, but very few who could act on
their own initiative.
John Rupin used to say for hundreds who
can talk, there is only one who can think; and
for hundreds who can think; only a very few
who can think logically, and progressively,
and constructively.
Elbert Hubberd used to say that it is a
wonderful thing to have a "self starter", but
if you do not have one, the next best thing
is to start the first time you are told.
How true it is that no matter how impossible
and herculean a task may seem, whether it
be to wash an accumulated pile of dishes or
to write a long term paper—the moment we
really tackle the job and begin, we feel better
right away. "Well begun is half done." The
strain of worry seems removed at once. We
are now up and at it!
How wise it is, then, to tackle the hardest
job first, the thing we dread most to do,
whether it be Greek or Spanish or history or
chemistry. That way—peace of mind lies.
The secret is to meet squarely, and annihil-ate,
one giant after the other and "grind his
bones and make them bread". Such progress
brings to the mind and heart a sense of satis-faction.
Self-confidence comes from doing things
successfully. And the recipe for getting it done
lies in the old business motto—"Do it now".
Sang Ironquill years ago:
"All merit comes from braving the unequal;
All glory comes from daring to begin."
heaved a sigh of relief when they read the
news about Mr. Hooligan. Perhaps the man
could use a bodyguard Leap Year, you
know.

"Singing Uncles" Indians Romp Over Worthington 65 -36
Pass First Year
Mark as a Quartet
The month of February marks an
important anniversary for some
members of our school—it is the
first anniversary of the present
"Four Singing Uncles". Most of you
have heard of them—Dick Johnson,
who sings bass; Sammy Nelson,
who sings second tenor; and Tom
Starr, who sings baritone; all are
attending Bethel now. Dick Lud-vigson,
who is going to Macales-ter,
carries the tenor part.
The quartette was first organized
when Simpson Memoral Church
changed its regular Sunday radio
broadcast into a Children's Hour,
and realized a need for music es-sentially
f o r children. Because
everything on the program was for
children, Joe Wenninger, the direct-or
took the name of "Uncle Joe".
Following his example, the four
fellows took the name of "The
Four Singing Uncles", and even
though the broadcast has been dis-continued
they have retained their
name.
Besides singing in their church
every Sunday they were home,
during the summer, the quartette
traveled over 12,00 miles through
the Midwest states singing in
churches of all denominations. Part
of the time, Rollie Reasoner, also
of Bethel, traveled with them as
their speaker. While they are going
to school, they try to limit their
singing to two or three times a
week.
Part of their time this summer
was spent in singing at Medicine
Lake Camp and also at the Ober
Boys' Club camp where they spent
two weeks working with the under-privileged
boys as instructors and
counselors.
On January 17 the Uncles record-ed
eight songs, principally for their
own use, which would be a valuable
source of music for many occas-ions.
Since they like the Negro
spirituals and the sweeter songs,
among the songs recorded were:
Shine On Me, Abide With Me, Rock
of Ages, and There's A Balm in
Gilead.
Bethel to Play Two
Games at"Mac"Gym
With four games in nine days the
Indians have a busy program to.
fill at home before traveling to
Sioux Falls on Febraury 7.
Next Friday nite Bethel will be
host to Bethany of Mankato in a
game to be played in Bethel's
• gymnasium. The Indians defeated
Bethany 40 - 36 in the opening
game of the season.
Next week Bethel meets Austin
on Monday nite and Rochester on
Friday nite. These are home games,
but they will be played in the
Macalester gymnasium, located on
South Snelling Avenue.
The Austin game will be the first
meeting of these two teams this
year and will be an important
game in deciding the leadership
of the conference.
Hold Lead With
4th League Wien
Last Friday nite a sizzling-hot
Bethel basketball team turned on
the heat in the last half to trounce
Worthington Junior College, 65-36,
in a game played at Bethel. By
their victory the Indians remain
on top of the Southern Minnesota
Junior College Conference stand-ings
and kept their league record
unblemished with four victories
and no defeats. This was the first
league loss for Worthington.
First Half Close
Canfield opened the scoring with
a field goal followed by a free
throw by Smook to give Worthing-ton
a 3-0 lead. The Indians soon
found the range and pulled into a
9-8 lead at the quarter. Worthing-ton
fought stubbornly in the second
quarter and held Bethel to a
narrow advantage of 21-18 at the
half.
Worthington Fades
In the second half Worthington
faded before a withering bucket
barrage set up by the Indians.
Scoring only 17 points themselves,
they were unable to stop shots
from all angles which netted 44
points, 25 in the last quarter.
Greenman led the scoring with 16
points followed by Nelson with 11
points, Sandberg with 10, and
Peterson with 9. Candfield scored
12 points for the losers.
"B" Team Loses 41-29 _
The "B" team found worthy and
experienced opposition in the pre-liminary
game played with the
Dahl Drug Company. Hoffman of
the Drug Company and John Peter-son
of Bethel shared the scoring
honors with 9 points each. The
Drug Company pulled away to an
early lead and held the Indians
off -tor the rest of the game.

The I-M league got under way
last Friday with the only two
unbeaten teams left in the league
playing each other. In what proved
to be the game of the day, the
Unknowns edged out the Gold-bricks
by a 27-24 score. Bob Sandin
was the high scorer with 8 points,
as the Unknowns took over league
leadership.
In the second game, the Grubbers
overtook a strong Angel team and
went on to win 24-21. Bob Daley
played superb ball for the losing
cause as he dropped in 12 points.
The Red Rebels finally broke
into the win column by dunking
the Undertakers 21-14. Led by Bud
Johnson, a new recruit who scored
10 points, the new Rebels were in
command all the way.
In the final game, the Cold-shots
went down to their third straight
defeat by a 34-30 score at the hands
of the Whiz-Kids. Harlis Johnson
scored 13 points for the losers
making his high score for the day.
Nepstand a n d Schaeffer were
standouts on the Whiz-Kids.
Taking a brief look at statistics,
it is found that the Unknowns are
about the class of the -league. They
lead both in games won, 4, and in
total offense, 124 points. They also
have the leading scorer in Bob
Hails with 42 points.
Sports Sketch
This week we would like to
present Ronald Skoog for our sport
personality. Ronald is 19 years old
and is a Sophomore at Bethel. He
comes from a family of eight child-ren
and has one brother who is a
freshman basketball sensation at
the University.
Ronald graduated from Brainerd
High in 1946. While there he par-ticipated
in track, running low
hurdles and relay, and in football,
playing half-back. Last year, his
first at Bethel, he won a berth on
the basketball team, playing at a
guard post. When football was in-troduced
here last fall, Ronnie
went out and soon became a reg-ular
member of the squad. Packing
160 pounds on a 5' 9" frame, he
fitted in very well at half-back
and quarter-back. We find him
playing basketball again this year,
this time on the "B" squad as a
forward.
Ronald is a member of the
Temple Baptist Church of Brainerd,
Minnesota. He is now preparing
himself for full-time Christian ser-vice.
Indians Down
Luther 64-44
Monday nite of this week the
Bethel Indians continued on their
winning ways by downing Luther
Junior College, 64-44, in a game
played at New Ulm. This marks
the fifth conference win for the
Indians and stamps them as strong
contenders for conference honors
this year.
Wayne Peterson chalked up 15
points on seven buckets and one
free throw to take scoring honors
for the evening.
The "B" squad, still lacking that
needed scoring punch, suffered
their third straight loss of the
season, 45-28, in the preliminary
game played against the Luther
High School team.
Bethel Leads In
So. Minn. J. C. Loop

New Commentary
Ready March 1st
Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer of
D alias Theological Seminary,
Dallas, Texas, has written a "Syste-matic
Theology. This, most recent
set bound in eight volumes, should
be on the retail bookmarket ap-proximately
March 1st. Cost for
the set is stated at $30.00.
The set is hailed as being "the
f i r s t consistently premillennial
system of theology". Five charact-eristics
are given of this theology
as a system. These include: (1)
Biblical emphasis rather than
philosophical; (2) premillennial;
(3) unabridged; comprehensive and
exhaustive regarding Bible doc-trine;
(4) "sane dispensational ap-proach";
(5) Calvinistic.
Systematic Theology is the pro-duct
of a lifetime. Dr. Chafer has
an international reputation as a
Bible scholar. He has been Presi-dent
Professor of Systematic Theo-logy
at Dallas Seminary since its
founding in 1925.
Preacher's Wife
Course Now Offered
In Southern School
A recent report states that the
University of the South (Episcopal)
which is located in Swanee, Ten-nessee,
has offered a course of
preparation in being a minister's
wife. Over twenty young women
are enrolled in this program. The
course includes all the problems
and opportunities that would or-dinarily
• confront the wife of a
minister. However, no comment was
given as to the status of the young
ladies, whether they were merely
hopeful or already engaged to some
prospective clergymen.
Every time I get my copy of the
Clarion I hesitate to look at the
back page. That's where they
always stick my article and there's
no telling what kind of a name they
will tack on my literary attempts.
And still old Dave Harps gets his
newless article on the feature page.
Berge Hoogasian insists that I
announce he is now available for
dates. Phone: NE 8855. (I'll take
the coffee and doughnuts now,
Berge.) My detectives tell me that
on his recent missionary trip, Roy
Nelson ended up in Chicago for
some reason or another Since
the last girls dorm meeting many
remarks h a v e been overheard
about the new rules in the girls
dorm. Some are complaining they
get too much sleep. Others think
they get their studies completed
too soon now. They all want to
enroll in a new class, 'How to put
your hair up in 15 minutes'
With the room temperature down
as low as 46, some of the fellows
in the seminary dorm are worder-ing
if they shouldn't go to North
Pole Seminary for post graduate
work If you've heard a lot of
racket coming from the third floor
of the mens dorm, don't be alarm-ed.
It's only a party. The engaged
fellows are the honored guests.
The party is generally held after
eight in the evening _ I'll be glad
when this week is over. I'm study-ing
in the middle of money. You
know, mid-quarters.
Joke of the Week:
Mr. Bloom: "Much depends on the
formation of early habits."
Roy Johnson: "I know it; when I
was a baby my mother hired a
women to wheel me dbout, and I
have been pushed for money ever
since."
The Frosh Sleigh Ride is schedul-ed
for Saturday night, January 31,
instead of January 24 as previously
announced.
