Wide Horizons Brought To Rostrum;
Founders Anticipate Guest Speakers
Guest speakers expected at the
annual Founder's Week will rep-resent
a wide variety of back-grounds,
as they bring their spec-ialties
to bear on the theme, "God's
World, God's Word."
V. Elving Anderson, Assistant
Director of the Dight Institute of
Human Genetics, and professor of
zoology at the University of Minne-sota,
will speak on the control of
man's genetic future. Mr. Ander-son
is a former teacher and grad-uate
of Bethel. He was chosen as
Alumnus of the Year in 1965-66.
Bringing to the rostrum a very
specialized technical training in
aeronautics as well as his layman's
role in the church, Mr. Edward
Dayton will speak on "Cybernetics
in the Advance of Missions." Mr.
Dayton is associated with the Mis-sions
Advanced Research and Com
munication Center in Pasedena,

The reknowned Norman Luboff
Choir is to appear under the aus-spices
of the Bethel Concert Ser-ies,
March 10, 1967 at the Norton
Fieldhouse, Hamline University at
8:00 p.m.
The choir is directed by the ver-satile
Norman Luboff who has been
touring with the group in season
since the Fall of 1963. The group
had its beginnings as a recording
organization catering to the RCA
Victor, and Columbia record lab-els.
To date the choir has produced
some 30 odd LPs, each one of
which has become a best seller.
who has served with HCJB Radio
of Quito, Ecuador, will be present
at several evening sessions.
David Larson, a graduate o f
Bethel Junior College, who later
attended Stanford University and
Fuller Theological Seminary, will
lead the morning Bible studies
with an exposition on "Faith for
These Times". Mr. Larson is pre-sently
pastor of Elim Covenant
Church in Minneapolis.
On Tuesday morning, Mr. Mau-rice
Lawson, graduate of Wheaton,
and former Bethel English profes-sor,
will lead campus worship. Mr.
Lawson is presently pastoring the
Bethany Baptist Church of Whit-tier,
Norman D. Lea, a professional
engineer from British Columbia
will discuss the relationship of the
Church and the Scientific commu-nity.
Mr. Lea is in a partnership
with other specialists as an expert
in transportation and construction.
An expert on space and space
explorations, Harold P. Plummer,
will speak on "Frontiers of Our
Time". Mr. Pluimer has colored
films and slides depicting such mo-mentous
scenes as Edward White's
space walk. Mr. Pluimer has serv-ed
in the United States Armed
Forces in World War II and the
Korean War.
The President of Westmont Col-lege,
Mr. Roger J. Voskuyl, will
discuss pertinent aspects of the
Christian and Higher Education.
Choir In Concert
The amazing versatility of the
choir led to live appearances across
the country. Today the choir aver-ages
over 100 concerts in the tour-ing
season, more than any other
organization of its kind.
The repertoire of the choir
ranges from Bach to the Blues
from such choir spectaculars as
"76 Trombones" to refined clas-sical
masterpieces. The choir is
able to present repeatedly stim-ulating
performances by variat-ing
its concert numbers from
evening to evening.
The director, arranger, composer,
of the choir attended college at the
University of Chicago, and later
Central College. He originally in-tended
to take up law, but changed
his mind, as he began to realize
his musical talent.
After college, Mr. Luboff started
arranging and teaching profession-ally.
He made his musical debut as
a singer with the Noble Cain radio
choir. While doing his solo and
choral work, Mr. Luboff began ar-ranging
pieces for orchestras and
choruses on the Chicago Theatre
of the Air.
His career was interrupted by
service in the Armed Forces
with the Signal Corps. After his
release in 1943, Mr. Luboff's ar-ranging
abilities eclipsed his re-putation
as a vocalist. It was
when the Maestro was in Holly-wood,
arranging scores for some
80 odd films, that his career at
the helm of the Choir began.
The conductor has spent time in
Europe, and still spends some of
his free time with his family on
the French Riveria. His relish for
and skill with the French and Ital-ian
cusine receives some attention
during these holidays.
Mr. Voskuyl who received his doc-torate
from Harvard in chemistry
will also consider the "Christian
Interpretation of Science".
Leading the Worship service on
Thursday of Founder's Week will
be Harm Weber, an outstanding
pastor who is presently serving in
the Covenant Baptist Church of
Detoit. Mr. Weber is a graduate
of Bethel College.
Copy Editor of the "Decision"
Magazine published by the Billy
Graham Association, Mrs. Lois
Weigand, will share some personal
thoughts on a woman's love, in
conjunction with surveys of ap-propriate
passages in the Song of
Solomon, the Prophets, the Pauline
epistles. She will concern herself
with answering such questions as
"How does a woman keep an even
keel these days?" "What should be
important in her life?"
Mr. Herman Tegenfeldt will lead
the worship service on the last day
of the conference. Mr. Tegefeldt
and his family were one of the
last Protestant missionaries to
leave Burma because of a restrict-ing
national policy on foreigners.
Mr. Tegenfeldt is anticipating a
post as missionary in residence at
Bethel Seminary.

Bethel's Cultural Committee
gave both the campus and them-selves
two notable surprises Friday
night when they presented the
Madrigal Singers and Pro Musica
Antigua of Mankato State College
in an on-campus concert.
Probably the most astounding
surprise of the two was the full
house audience that greeted these
visiting performers. Not forgetting
that it is Fine Arts report time
again, the campus turnout was
sizeable and seemed marked with
receptive listeners.
Also surprising, and indeed ex-citing,
was the discovery that
the Mankato madrigalians had
brought us not only a "bit of
old England", as was billed, but
also a delightful taste of the
musical centuries that lie be-tween,
including our own.
The singers began however by
giving us what we expected, and
doing it well. While the six madri-gals
they had chosen lagged in
some few spots, listeners found
much cause for delight, particular-ly
in the light, mirthful numbers,
of which Marenzio's, "You Grace-ful
Nymphs," stood out.
While the Pro Musica Antigua
group was formed by Mankato con-ductor
James Dunn to give his
soloists wider experience, Friday's
performance of Purcell's "Great
Parent, Hail," which was section
two of the concert, ironically prov-ed
to please most when it featured
the entire ensemble.
Somehow, the individual sing-ers
seemed so often involved in
florid Baroque technique and so
uninvolved in the text (a lauda-tory
ode to the University of
Dublin may naturally be hard to
grow fervent about) that even
appreciation of Baroque compo-sition
was hard to come by, de-spite
musically "accurate" per-formance
by both the singers and
a Baroque String Ensemble.
Of these soloists, sopranos Gail
Roger J. Voskuyl
Gower and Karen Klein and tenors
Joel Serrahn and Dave Leimer
shone most brightly.
But the best solo work of the
evening was probably offered by
Ann Suddendorf, who sang Monte-verdi's
"Lamento della ninfa" with
male chorus and cello-harpsichord
accompaniment after intermission.
This more dramatic Baroque work
gave her undoubtedly more emo-tional
substance to work w i t h,
a definite advantage.
The evening turned toward its
conclusion with fully scintiallat-ing
presentations from our own
musical century. Playful compo-sitions
by Debussy, Hindemith,
and Jean Berger were all crisply
sung with tongue-in-cheek by the
Mankato musicians.
Here they made the most of the
same type of techniques that added
lustre to their madrigal perform-ance,
showing by their added clar-ity
and spirit that they were even
more at home (and appropriately
so) in their own century's music.

Student Congress.
The purpose of the Congress is
to provide a forum for the ex-pression
of student opinion on
three areas of national concern:
poverty, civil liberties, and the
U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
The procedure for the Congress
will parallel the procedure gener-ally
used in the official legislative

Delegates will be divided in-to
two houses, each house enter-taining
three committees which
will discuss the problem involved
in these three major issues. The
committees will draft resolutions
on the problem, and present them
to the houses for consideration.
It is expected that the Congress
will hear prominent authorities on
these issues during the various ses-sions.

The United States should steer
a middle course in Vietnam "Be-tween
dangerous escalation of the
war and disastrous withdrawal,"
in the view of Edwin 0. Reischauer,
who recently resigned as U.S. am-bassador
to Japan.
Writing in the February issue
of the Reader's Digest Mr. Rei-schauer,
a long-time observer of
Asia and now a professor of Asian
studies at Harvard University, says
that Americans have "many rea-sons
for optimism" in Asia. He
discounts any immediate threat
from Red China and says that
that nation's prestige is tumbling,
and will probably continue to fade
"unless we commit the folly cf
abandoning the field in Vietnam
to Communist subversion."
Discounting the importance of
recent Chinese nuclear explosions,
Prof. Reischauer says that they rep-resent
at most "a very minor ca-pacity,"
and that China would have
a better chance for economic
growth if she were not attempting
to produce nuclear military pow-er.
Frustration over lack of Chi-nese
economic progress may ex-plain
the recent activities of the
Red Guards, in the former am-bassador's
The main threat to Asia, Prof.
Reischauer says, comes from sub-version,
which he calls the "chief
weapon of the Communists." He
says that one way to combat that
threat is to encourage genuine na-tionalism,
which he sees as "prob-ably
the most powerful of all for-ces
in Asia today."

Letter Disputes
Need For IVCF
Editorial Note—
The question of anonymous
letters in a school paper is a
difficult one. Some say unsngn-ed
letters lend themselves to ir-responsible
opinion, others claim
that the 'Letters' column cannot
be free unless students are al-lowed
to remain anonymous in
the face of administrative re-prisals
(as subconcious as these
may be). The editorial staff
would request that students sign
all letters unless such letters
jeopardize fair standing with
our administration. The editors
will use their judgement in de-leting
any letters which they
feel are not worthy of print.
To the Editor:
The fact that several members
of the Bethel community sense a
need for an organization such as
Inter-Varsity on our campus is
sad commentary on our spiritual

does not abnegate the necessity of
a meaningful relationship with
Christ and with our fellow Chris-tians,

vital relationships with the Lord
and with the other members of His
Body — the Church — our fellow

ily for the type of world we be-lieve
in," Mr. Reischauer writes.
"Asians today yearn passionately
for complete independence. They
want their countries to be strong,
prosperous and self-respecting. If
they subscribe to democracy, or
to socoalism, or to communism, it
is primarily as a means to build
such strong and independent na-tions.
They want no domination
from without, either from the Rus-sians,
the Chinese or their old co-lonial
Understanding this force, Mr.
Reischauer says, will help us "re

self-defeating urge to force our
will and leadership on Asians and
to find the patience to wait for
them to take the initiative."

he stated, "Ben Franklin could ex-periment

Conference Deals Blow
To Founders, College Life
Anticipating the shadow of Founder's Week back in Feb-ruary,
1964, Dave Johnson, then editor of the CLARION,
made a plea for a change in the dates for Founder's Week.
Johnson's prime objection was that Founder's Week disrupted
academic life. To this count we may add a long list of others,
including inconvenience to the delegates, unpleasant living
conditions, and unnecessary pressure on organizers and main-tenance
There is no denying the fact that Founder's Week does
disrupt academic life. Havens of study and quiet are usually
crowded with inquisitive, well-meaning founders who are anx-ious
to get reacquainted with their alma mater. Professors, often
caught up in the proceedings, have little if any time to prepare
for the few classes that convene. Students wheedle away study
time wandering from morning, to afternoon, to evening ses-sions
of the lectures, seminars, and services. In a calendar
already shredded by too many interruptions, the unnecessary
persistence of Founder's Weeks during academic sessions is
The delegates who wish to see the college in its regular
activity see anything but that in the scurry of the conference.
Caught between the confused class schedules and sessions
of the Founders, the delegates waste good time wandering
about in a daze of indecision.
Evidences of unpleasant living conditions are bountiful.
Delegates often complain of student discourtesy while they
sometimes demand special consideration in the long cafeteria
lines. In the past, those who have lived in Edgren dorm have
complained of Midnight Viet Cong style attacks staged by
men residents. The multiple congestion in the post office,
coffee shop, bookstore, library, hallways, and numerous other
vital areas reduces campus life to a shameful stutter.
There is a way out of this maze.
Last issue's editorial proposed a four-one-four calendar,
whereby the college would have an intersession of one
month between the second and third quarters of the year.
This intersession would lend itself beautifully to the Found-er's
Week program.
Because the intersession would draw many students off
campus for field trips, the college would be relatively empty,
allowing the Founders comfortable living space. The distracting
academic life would be greatly decelerated and delegates
would then be more deliberate in choosing one of the seminars
slate for this academic break.
Those students wishing to take part in Founder's Week
could easily plan to stay on campus, whereas those who had
other interests could pursue a field trip, or quietly spend
the time in a reading course.
Dave Johnson's solution to the problem accomodated the
semester system. He proposed Founder's Week dates that
would coincide with the Semester Break. Johnson's editorial
plea went largely unheeded and there seems to have been
very little serious discussion of the alternatives to this problem.
The only apparent reason for the present dates of Found-er's
Week is its coincidence with the birthday of Founder
Alexis Edgren on February 20th. When sentiments lead us to
unnecessary acrobatics it is time for a change.
To maintain the status quo is to do a disservice to both
the Founders who converge on the campus, and the aca-demic
community of the campus who are attempting to
elevate the standards of the school in the face of an ad-verse
In the lengthening shadow cast by the unpleasant fea-tures
of the impending week, and with due respect to a
reasonable solution to the problem, we would raise this issue
for consideration in the light of reason.

Former U.S. Ambassador To Japan
Suggests Middle Course In Vietnam
It happens every day. A young man goes off to college,
leaving his home town sweetheart with vows of eternal
love, and then he finds that he has outgrown her. What, in
such cases, is the honorable thing to do?
Well sir, you can do what Crunch Sigafoos did.
When Crunch left his home in Cut and Shoot, Pa., to go
off to a prominent midwestern university (Florida State)
he said to his sweetheart, a wholesome country lass named
Mildred Bovine, "My dear, though I am far away in col-lege,
I will love you always. I take a mighty oath I will
never look at another girl. If I do, may my eyeballs parch
and wither, may my viscera writhe like adders, may my
ever-press slacks go baggy !"
Then he clutched Mildred to his bosom, flicked some
hayseed from her hair, planted a final kiss upon her fra-grant
young skull, and went away, meaning with all his
heart to be faithful.
But on the very first day of college he met a coed named
Irmgard Champerty who was studded with culture like a
ham with cloves. She knew verbatim the complete works
of Franz Kafka, she sang solos in stereo, she wore a black
leather jacket with an original Goya on the back.
Well sir, Crunch took one look and his jaw dropped and
his nostrils pulsed like a bellows and his kneecaps turned
to sorghum. Never had he beheld such sophistication, such
intellect, such savoir faire. Not, mind you, that Crunch
was a dolt. He was, to be sure, a country boy, but he had a
head on his shoulders, believe you me ! Take, for instance,
his choice of razor blades. Crunch always shaved with
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and if that doesn't
show good sense, I am Rex the Wonder Horse. No other
blade shaves you so comfortably so often. No other blade
brings you such facial felicity, such epidermal elan.
Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades take the travail out
of shaving, scrap the scrape, negate the nick, peel the pull,
oust the ouch. Furthermore, Personnas are available both
in double-edge style and in injector style. If you're smart
—and I'm sure you are, or how'd you get out of high school
—you'll get a pack of Personnas before another sun has set.
But I digress. Crunch, as we have seen, was instantly
smitten with Irmgard Champerty. All day he followed her
around campus and listened to her talk about Franz Kafka
and like that, and then be went back to his dormitory and
found this letter from his home town sweetheart Mildred :
Dear Crunch:
Us kids had a keen time yesterday. We went down to
the pond and caught some frogs. I caught the most of
anybody. Then we hitched rides on trucks and did lots
of nutsy stuff like that. Well, I must close now because I
got to whitewash the fence.
Your friend,
Es. ...I know how to ride backwards on my skateboard.
Well sir, Crunch thought about Mildred and then he
thought about Irmgard and then a great sadness fell upon
him. Suddenly he knew he had outgrown young, innocent
Mildred ; his heart now belonged to smart, sophisticated
Being above all things honorable, he returned forth-with
to Cut and Shoot, Pa., and looked Mildred straight in
the eye and said manlily, "I do not love you any more. I
love another. You can hit me in the stomach all your might
if you want to:'
"That's okay, hey:' said Mildred amiably. "I don't love
you neither. I found a new boy:'
"What is his name ?" asked Crunch.
"Franz Kafka:' said Mildred.
"I hope you will be very happy," said Crunch and shook
Mildred's hand and they have remained good friends to
this day. In fact, Crunch and Irmgard often double-date
with Franz and Mildred and have barrels of fun. Franz
knows how to ride backwards on his skateboard one-legged.

So you see, all's well that ends well—including a shave
with Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades and
Personna's partner in luxury shaving—Burma-Shave. It
comes in menthol or regular; it soaks rings around any
other lather.

Louisiana Coeds Score Big Victory;
Defend Place In Higher Education
Thursday, February 16, 1967
Coeds eked out a 251-244 victory
over male students at Louisiana
State University last month as they
managed to vote down the propo-sition
that LSU coeds came to col-lege
seeking husbands rather than
an education, reports the Daily
The vote was taken at the
third speech forum of the sem-ester,
which turned out to be a
battle of the sexes. Men seated
on one side and women on the
other side of the Union Ballroom
volleyed vehement comments
back and forth for some 45 min-utes.
Denise Engeran, principal speak-er
for the winning coeds, said wo-men
10 years ago might have been
just looking for husbands but that
in 1966 women's "career drive"
exceeds their "mating drive."
She noted that women make up
one-third of the 79 million labor-ers
in the United States and earn
three-fourths as much as men do.
Four of five coeds she interviewed,
Miss Engeran said, knew what
career they were going in to.

Voting Age Sees
Local Proposals
The issue of voting age has been
skyrocketed to legislative attention
particularly in the state of Minne-sota
where Governor LeVander is
considering such a bill.
Such people as John Kennedy,
Lyn don Johnson, Eisenhower,
Rockefeller, Nixon, Franklin and
Eleanor Roosevelt, Dirkson, Stev-enson,
among many others have
supported lowering the voting age
to 18.
Presently, four states have a
minimum voting age below 21.
Georgia in 1943 and Kentucky in
1955 lowered their's to 18. On
entering the Union, Alaska and
Hawaii set their's respectfully
at 19 and 20.
In many respects persons of 18
are legally considered to be of
age and are held responsible for
their actions. The minimum age
for employment under our civil
service law is 18 years of age.
Under our Penal Codes the Fed
eral Courts may and do commit
18 year-olds to Federal prison.
Many states also have similar codes
in regards to 18 year olds. Our
Chancery Courts grant the Chan-cellor
the power to declare an 18
year old competent and he may
emancipate the individual concern-ed.
According to the Kennedy Com-mission
on Regestration and Vot-ing
Participation, the three to four
year span between the political ac-tivity
and interest of high school
years and the assumption of vot-ing
rights at 21 tends to produce
apathy and disinterest in the poli-tical
In Minnesota the average in-habitant

Lundquist Reviews Turbulent World;
Cites Essential Function Of Christians
A new world is being born in
our time. The entire earth is
being convulsed by its birth pangs
—colonial revolution, totalitarian
despotism, nuclear warfare, civil
rights agitation, and technological
wonders. This is not God's eternal
kingdom which alone will be the
consummation of human history.
Neither is it the brave new world
of Aldous Huxley. But is is a new
world and the Christian church
must reckon with it.
A recent TIME essay concluded
that technology has advanced more
rapidly in the past fifty years
than in the preceding five thou-sand.
Many sober scientists believe
that the future is limited only by
our imagination. Carl Sandburg,
the poet, once was asked what
was meant by the inscription on
the National Archives in Washing- .
ton, "The past is prologue." After
a moment's thought he responded,
"It means that you ain't seen noth-ing
yet!" Already our generation
has seen four breathtaking break-throughs
in technology alone: nu-clear
fission, cybernetic develop-ment,
satellite communication, and
space exploration.
But the world now on the
drawing boards will experience
many more advances. Suggestive
of these are ocean reclamation,
climate control, implantation of
artificial organs in human be-ings,
drug control of personality,
and genetic intervention.
Tomorrow's world will have li-braries
without books in which the
retrieval of information is achiev-ed
electronically from a few major
storage centers throughout the na-tion.
Instant communication will be
possible with anyone in the world.
And, of course, there will be air-planes
with swimming pools and
low-cost group excursion rates to
the moon!
T h e Christian of all people
should be in the center of this
change. He believes the hymnwrit-er
who sang, "This is my Father's
world." Everything that God made
was good, declared Moses, and ev-erything
is to be received with
thanks, added Paul. Physicists,
chemists, mathematicians, and bi-ologists
are keys in the hand of
God for unlocking the doors to the
universe which He made.
The remarkable powers inher-ent
in God's creation are meant
to be used for His glory. Thus
the scientist in the laboratory
needs the revelation of God's
Word to see ultimate meaning
in the factual data at hand.
Like the astronomer, Kepler,
charting the heavens, he must
learn, "I am only thinking God's
thoughts after Him."
It does not appear too impor-tant
to me who gets a man to the
moon first but it appears very im-portant
what kind of a man gets
to the moon. Only the Christian
gospel can remake the men who
are remaking the world.
This means that the thoughtful
Christian must be sympathetic to
scientific discovery. Too often in
the past the church has been afraid
of science, suspicious of its find-ings
and resistant to its notions.
It has even persecuted the scien.
tist. Often, however, the heretic
in one generation and the church
in another have both been forced
to recant.
To be sure, scientists and theo-logians
alike have made extrava-gant
claims at times. There has
been a tendency for each to
usurp the domain of the other.
But their mood has changed to-day.
Both are humble and both
speak reverently. And the Chris-tian
has nothing to fear. God's
world and God's Word are in-ternally
consistent. He made
them both.
The Negro spiritual is still true
which insists that this world is
not our home. But if God is pleas-ed
to leave us in it during a period
of accelerated change, we must
learn now to add a spiritual di-mension
to it as significant as the
scientific one. We must raise the
theological question why with the
empirical question how. And while
we encourage the scientist to ex
plore the exciting possibilities of
God's world, we can apply to it
the redemptive message of God's
Word. This will be the quest of
Founder's Week 1967.

Edgren Shebang Attracts Crowd •
Party Explodes With Celebrities
Smash social for last week fol-lowed
hard on the heels of the
Mankato Madrigals concert, Friday
night at 9:30. The Edgren Dorm
Party entertained a capacity crowd
estimated at over 150 people. Ac-tivities
came off in the basement
of the dorm.
Bright spots in the evening's
entertainment were Dave Shupe,
and the "Sinners" including Ken
Bell, Gary Wagner, Steve Roe, with
a folk song repertoire, the peren-nial

versions of "More ",

Cagers as they lost three of four
during that stretch. The Blue and
Gold won their only home game
and lost all three away from home.
Coach Nettleton's men beat
Northland of Ashland, Wisconsin
89-72 in a make-up contest on Jan-uary
27. The Royals held only a
45-42 halftime lead, but outscored
the visitors by 14 in the second
half to pull away. Sophomore Ron
Pederson and Senior Dave Bjork-lund
led all scorers with 27 points
each. Bill Schneider led Northland
with 22.
The next day Bethel journeyed
to Morris and lost to an excellent
UMM squad 106-83. The Cougars
gunned to a 64-41 first half mar-gin,
and retained this edge in the
second. half. Five Cougars hit dou-ble
figures led by Wayne Bramen-der,
one of the state's leading
scorers, with 30, and followed by
Doug McIver with 23. Pederson and
Bjorklund again topped Bethel
scoring with 23 and 19 respectively.
UMM outrebounded the Royals 75-
53 to play a decisive factor in the
Bethel dropped a return match
with Buena Vista 91-84 on January
30. Cliff Mortenson, a big hooking
center, led the Iowans with 36 tal-lies
and kept Pederson in contin-ual
foul trouble. Captain Bjork-lund
led the Royals with 24, while
steadily improving Dick Robertson
chipped in 21. Buena Vista out-rebounded
Bethel 57-51.
Another return match found the
Royals on the short end of the
score again, this time 58-79 to
Northland. On the strength of Dave
Bjorklund's 40 points, an individ-derson,
John Griffiths, Lyn Han-son,
and Jerry Tarman.
Dave Anderson made a comic
appearance as a shopkeeper at-tempting
to serve several small
boys for whom he doubled. John
Griffiths teased the audience with
impersonations of Dr. Bob, and A-mos
of the "Amos 'N Andy Show".
Other stars appearing in the
course of the evening were Dave
Nelson, the Bodien trio, Lois Bjork,
Pat Sandberg, Nancy Gerdin, and
Fred Swedberg, who provided mu-sic
during the refreshments.
Emceed by Lyn Hanson, the par-ty
came to a conclusion at 10:30
ual season high, the Royals came
within a bucket of demolishing
Northland's 23 point halftime ad-vantage.
Bill Schnieder led the
victors with 21, but Jerry Bren-nen's
unexpected 20 point perform-ance
was demoralizing. Northland
outshot the Royals from the field
50% to 35.7% and also dominated
the boards 64-54.
Cagers Rebound
To Win Over Dort
The eager Bethel Royals bounced
back to the win column by trounc-ing
the Dort Defenders 95-70 Mon-day
night. The visitors from Iowa
stayed with the Royals for eight
minutes, but by halftime the vic-tory-
hungry Royals held a 54-31
lead. The home-court cagers con-tinued
their thrust in the second
half to win by 25.
It was the finest team effort of
the season as the Royals played
the caliber of ball which they are
capable of playing. Good passing,
rugged rebounding, determined
driving, sharp shooting, and ter-rific
teamwork all played roles in
the big win.
Senior guard Edgar Peterman,
who has never been a slouch on
defense, proved to be no slouch
on the attack as he led the scor-ing
parade with 24 points. Peerless
Pederson added 23 tallies in a fine
offensive effort, but it was his
rebounding that paved the way to
Dave Bjorklund added 18 on a
"cold" night, while senior Tom
Hagen chipped in with 13 well-earned
tallies. For the losers, Gene
Hospers led with 15 followed by
Don Van Meer and Gary Kamps
with 13 and 11 respectively.

Semester Break Action Proves
Unfruitful To Bethel Hoopsters
by Lynn A. Bergfalk
The decisive victory over Dort Monday should provide a
big boost to the Royals in these closing days of the 1966-67
season. The cagers lived up to their pre-season promise in
overwhelming the Iowans on the strength of fine performances
by each player.
Bethel now sports a 5-13 won-lost record which is dis-appointing
even in view of the tough competition which the
team has faced. A quick look at the season's scores to date
shows the Royals dropping a number of close ones, but, as
has been said before, close only counts in horseshoes.
A closer inspection of the season record reveals that
an inability to win on the road has been a major factor in
shaping the present losing record. The hoopsters dropped
10 straight away games after an initial win on the opponent's
floor. At home they show a respectable 4-3 record with three
contests to play.
This Saturday's Morris-Bethel tilt could be the highlight
of the season. Last year both games between these teams
went right down to the wire, with each team winning on its
home court. This season the UMM's high-flying cagers are
top contenders for the NIC conference crown and have already
defeated the Royals at Morris quite handily.
However the Royals have the ability to give the Cougars
a stiff battle, and their convincing win over Dort may have
put them on the winning track. A Bethel victory over this
tough rival would salvage much pride and add impetus for a
season ending flourish of victories. In any event Saturday's
game should be a good one, and don't be too surprised if the
powerful Morris cagers leave the court on the short end of the
score. * * *
Dave Bjorklund's 396 points through Bethel's first 16
games gives him national ranking among small college high
scorers. According to official statistics released by the Na
tional Association of Intercollegiate Athletics February 8,
Bjorklund presently is tied for thirty-first with his 24.8
point average.

The Royal Basketball team, four
interested students, and a few
alumni and faculty, boarded a DC-3
last Thursday at 5:15 p.m. enroute
to Bemidji to play their final away
game of the season. One hour and
ten minutes later the plane landed
in the snowy airfield at Bemidji.
The Royals were hoping to up-set
the N.I.C. leaders who had a
season record of 14-4. The Royals,
untrue to their usual form, started
out slowly having a cold first half.
Bemidji played a slow deliberate
style of basketball which made for
difficult adjustment. The half end-ed
with the score Bemidji 43-31.
During the second half the Roy-als
came to life with the fast break
working well. The Royals put their
zone press to work and capitalized
on some crucial interceptions. The
press, coupled with good defense in
the front court closed the gap. The
Royals took the lead at 57-56 with
8:06 to play.
The lead seesawed for about five
minutes and then with three min-utes
to play, team center, Ron Ped-erson
fouled out with the Royals
three points behind.
The Royals, down by five, after
the two free throws were made
failed to score the next trip down-court,
and were forced to foul to
get control of the ball.
Free throws told the story from
here on as Bemidji sank 11 straight
in the final two minutes of play.
The game ended with the score

The men's intramural basketball
league started play this past week
with an eight game schedule. Last
Thursday night Second New over-whelmed
Frankson 81-39, Phelps
routed Second Old 90-27, the Pit
edged Third New 57-43, and As-bury
beat Third Old 51-41. On Sat-urday
morning Third Old destroy-ed
the Seminary 84-47, Phelps de-feated
the Pit 64-51, and Second
Old blasted First Floor 77-47, and
Frankson outscored Asbury 64-51.
Phelps in its victory over Second
Old had all of its starters in dou-ble
figures with three of them
scoring over 20 points. Lynn Berg-falk
led with 22 points followed
closely by Tom Hulst and John
Carmean with 21 and 20 points
respectively. Paul Johnson led Sec-ond
Old with 12 points.

Is the bible truly reliable enough to defend with science?
The Bible is. Science is. Read a Biology book. It tells you about life. It does not tell you how to live.
But what about the natural world? Since the Renaissance four centuries
ago, the growth of science (knowledge based on physical evidence and
reason) has been explosive. This gives us a powerful tool to see whether
or not the ancient writers had access to knowledge unavailable except
through divine revelation. What a harvest of souls for Christ, if the
Bible had correctly predicted the existence of neutrons, the age of the
universe or the size and shape of the planetary orbits!
Hard to describe in Hebrew. Rejecters will always find reasons to reject. " ... but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent" the rich man cried out to father Abraham from the depths of hell. Do you remember the answer? "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead" Luke 16:31.
Heb. 11:3: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." H'mmm ... now how did the Bible writer know that?
But instead, we find the biblical authors didn't know what they were talking about:
Even Daniel didn't know what he was talking about, but his words were for another age.
"Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and
shewith him all the kingdoms of the world" Matt. 4: 8. Can any Christian
name a mountain that would show all the kingdoms of the world at that
time, including the kingdom of Kadphises 1 of the Kushans (Afghanistan),
the kingdom of Kutakanna Tissa (Ceylon), and the kingdom of Kuang-wu- Ti
(China)? The writer of this passage assumed that the Earth is flat. Do
you believe it?
When I was in navigation training, one of my instructors told us: "We fly over a flat earth depicted on a flat map. Remember that and you won't get into trouble." We should be less concerned about what the Bible writers didn't know and didn't say and more concerned with what they did know about and told us.
"I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth" Rev. 7: 1.
"The world also shall be stable, that it be not moved" 1 Chr. 16: 30. But
the world is not flat, four cornered and motionless; the Bible is wrong.
Belief that the Earth is a globe was a stock charge against heretics
prepared for burning. (1)
The phrase should have been translated "four quarters" which was a common expression. Gilgamesh reigned over the "four quarters" of the earth, for example. It is just a lot of territory, not intended to be all-encompassing.
We modern folk say "world" every day without intending it to mean the entire continental land mass of our planet. The wide "world" of sports may "span the globe," but only covers sporting events. The "world" of entertainment concerns films, TV, and stage plays. The "world" of fashion includes cosmetics, hair styles, and clothing. So although we sometimes mean planet when we say world, we may also use "world" to connote all of a category of something. Bible writers did the same thing.
"World" was sometimes used in the sense of planet (what little they knew of it). In John 21:25, "I suppose the world itself could not contain the books that should be written." Many times, however, the Bible authors used "world" to mean just the human occupants. "But the world may know that I love the father ..." (John 14:31). Also in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world ..." applies to human beings living in the world.
"And the stars of heaven fall unto the earth... And the heaven departed
as a scroll when it is rolled together: Rev. 6: 13, 14...
Typical phenomenal language replete in Scripture. God "spreads his wings," did they think He was a chicken?
"And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is unclean unto you" Lev. 11:6. Hares (rabbits) have a single stomach, so
they cannot make cud,
They do chew their own feces which is a similar form of recycling.
and they don't have hoofs; they have feet which
divide into toes. The Bible also speaks of four-legged birds (Lev.
From the NIV: "All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be detestable to you." You could claim that insects have six legs, but if the front two are considered as "arms," well, you get the picture.
unicorns (Is. 34: 7)
Unicorns I haven't seen, but there are a lot of animals I haven't seen.
dragons (Is. 27: 1) and other mythological creatures.
"In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent,
Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea" Lev. 27:1.
Are there no gliding serpents in the sea? The Lord doesn't wield a sword as far as I know, but we should get the picture of divine judgment that is being painted here.
"The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed... Which indeed
is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among
herbs, and becometh a tree" Matt. 13:31, 32. The mustard seed is not the
least of all seeds; many plants, such as the orchid, have smaller seeds.
How could the Christian god fail to know basic biology?
It was an example of a tiny seed THEY KNEW ABOUT. Who in the audience knew of orchids growing on Pacific islands?
Instead the book of Genesis
makes the preposterous claim that the entire universe was created by
divine fiat in six days.
Read this: "The Days of Creation: Hours or Eons?
Science has given us no greater benefit than our control over many of the
loathsome diseases that have plagued humanity. We would expect that a
loving, all-knowing god would have left simple instructions on basic
sanitation and disease prevention that would have immeasurably eased our
suffering. Instead we are given the tedious genealogies of Numbers, the
pointless fantasies of Daniel and Ezekiel, and the meaningless lists of
ritually-clean and unclean animals of Leviticus. No hint is given of the
true cause of diseases.
God instructed in the Old Testament how to make soap by mixing animal fat drippings with ash, the earliest recording of sanitation.
Medical advances have been actively opposed by the clergy, as
interference with the ways of a wrathful God. When Ethan Allen, the
Revolutionary War hero was inoculated against smallpox, he was threatened
with persecution for violating a local ordinance against it. (2) That
disease, which horribly disfigured and killed millions of people a year,
has now vanished from the face of the Earth thanks to modern medicine.
According to the World Health Organization, leprosy will be eliminated as
a public health problem in a few years, thanks to the drugs Clofazimine
and Rifampicin. (3) What miseries could have been avoided if Jesus had
done as much! Louis Pasteur and Florence Nightingale did more to benefit
humanity than all the ministers, priests, rabbis, prophets and messiahs
put together.
You are far too absorbed in the physical and have overlooked the spiritual altogether. God has observed over 100,000 years of human death, 530 million years of animal death, and 3.8 billion years of physical death on planet earth. He is concerned with how we live, not how long we live, or how or when we die. And He is far more concerned with your spiritual soul than even you seem to be.
Just remember, friend, there are no atheists in hell.
Yours in Christ,

Stocks slipped slightly from session highs but still closed broadly higher Tuesday, led by gains in the energy sector, following a handful of economic news that helped boost market confidence.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 123.14 points, or 1.03 percent, to finish at 12,076.11.
Home Depot and Caterpillar led the blue-chip gainers, while BofA lagged.
The S&P 500 rose 16.04 points, or 1.26 percent, to close at 1287.87, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq climbed 39.03 points, or 1.48 percent, to 2,678.72. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, tumbled more than 6 percent to trade around 18.
The Dow and Nasdaq are seeing their best gains since Apr. 20, while the S&P is having its best day since Mar. 21.
All key S&P sectors were in the green, led by growth plays energy, industrials and materials.
"The rally has a lot to do with technicals," according to Alan Valdes, director of floor operations at DME Securities, noting that markets tend to see a bounce ahead of options expiration.
Bernanke warned that a failure to lift the government's debt ceiling risks a loss of confidence in America's creditworthiness, saying the U.S. could lose its AAA credit rating and the greenback's status as the reserve currency could be damaged.
"Even a short suspension of payments on principal or interest on the Treasury's debt obligations could cause severe disruptions in financial markets and the payments system," Bernanke said at an event sponsored by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
Stocks tumbled last week after Bernanke acknowledged the economic slowdown during a banking conference in Atlanta.
Oil prices gained as U.S. light, sweet crude rose $2.07 to settle at $99.37 barrel, while London Brent crude climbed $1.06 to settle at $120.16. Gold climbed $8.80 to settle at $1,523.80 an ounce.
On the tech front, Google advanced after the search-engine giant unveiled new features to accelerate search results and simplify the process for smartphone users.
Intel and Entropic Communications rose after the two tech firms announced a partnership to develop an advanced video gateway.
Apple agreed to settle a long-running row over patents with Nokia, which would give a boost to the faltering mobile-phone maker's earnings.
Hewlett-Packard announced the departure of two senior officers Monday afternoon and said a veteran executive was moving to its board amid another management shakeup under its new CEO Leo Apotheker.
Most big financials pared earlier gains, including BofA and Citigroup.
Morgan Stanley fell after RBC started coverage of the bank with an "underperform" rating. And Capital One slipped after news the bank is expected to buy ING Groep's online-banking business.
Meanwhile, JPMorgan ousted its head of home lending, David Lowman.
Avis Budget said it acquired Avis Europe for $1 billion, raising concerns that the car-rental firm will end the bidding war for Dollar Thrifty, which had also received an offer from Hertz.
On the earnings front, Best Buy jumped after the electronics retailer's results beat estimates and the firm backed its earnings outlook for the year.
GT Solar climbed after the firm boosted its profit and revenue outlook. Other solar stocks were also higher following the news.
Meanwhile, Kellogg slipped after the FDA issued a warning to the cereal producer, saying it found a food contaminant while inspecting one of its plants.
Among the day's economic news, retail sales fell for the first time in 11 months, although the decline was less than expected. Total retail sales slipped 0.2 percent, the Commerce Department reported. Economists expected a decline of 0.4 percent, according to Reuters.
Department stores Nordstrom, Macy's and Saks were trading higher.
JCPenney soared almost 20 percent to lead the S&P 500 after the clothing retailer named former Apple's head of retail operations Ron Johnson as the new CEO.
Meanwhile, the Producer Price Index increased 0.2 percent in May, according to the Labor Department. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, the core index also increased 0.2 percent.
"Numbers were mostly in line, maybe a little bit better, so the scare is behind us now and we've backed into a level where we can find support," Gordon Charlop of Rosenblatt Securities told CNBC.
Stocks initially soared following news the Chinese central bank raised reserve ratios requirement for banks for the ninth time since last October after data showed inflation rising to its highest level in almost three years.
The report helped boost metals prices, lifting mining and industrial stocks such as Freeport McMoran and Caterpillar.
Analysts said the news suggested a measured slowdown of the Chinese economy and this encouraged investors to go into risky assets. But economist Nouriel Roubini said China is facing a "meaningful probability" of a hard landing.
On the IPO front, Internet radio company Pandora is scheduled to begin trading Wednesday under the symbol "P." The firm is slated to offer 14.7 million shares for $10 to $12 a share. The company increased the size of its IPO last week by 43 percent in the face of high demand.
Also on the economic front, business inventories rose 0.8 percent April, the highest since October 2008, the Commerce Department reported. Economists expected a rise of 0.9 percent, according to Reuters.
European shares closed sharply higher following the positive economic report out of China.
