Oratorio Choir Presents Messiah
In College Chapel Tonight
Tonight the Oratorio Choir will present the entire Christmas
portion of Handel's Messiah at a school concert in the college chapel
at 8:30 p.m. Miss Mildred Bisgrove, associate professor of music, con-ducts
the 80 voice choir composed of Bethel students, administration,
faculty and friends from Twin City churches.
This is the final of three concerts performed by the group. Wed-nesday
morning they sang part of their concert for a combined chapel
and last evening the choir was the guest of the Central Baptist Church
of St. Paul.
Soprano solo parts are shared by Nancy Swanson, sophomore at
Bethel, and .Anna Newell, who is a former Bethel student. Anna has
studied at MacPhail School of Music, Minneapolis, and is presently
a music major at the University of Minnesota. Juanita Teal, alto soloist,
is a graduate music student at the University of Minnesota, and has
a Bachelor of Music Degree from North Texas State College. The
tenor solo is being sung by Earl Larson, alumnus of Bethel, and
Bert Anderson, freshman at Bethel, sang the bass solo parts last even-ing.
Tonight, Mr. Roger Bailey, graduate student at the University
of Minnesota and voice teacher at Bethel, will sing the bass solos.
The soloists will render their respective ariosos, airs: and recita-tives,
and the choir will give selections • including: "And the glory
of the Lord," "And He shall purify," "0 Thou that tellest good tidings,"
"For unto us a child is born," "Glory to God in the highest," "His yoke
is easy," and will conclude with the "Hallelujah Chorus."

Preparation for Christmas by commercial
establishments seems to start earlier every
year. I was fascinated last week as I walked
down the streets of the loop in Chicago
and witnessed reindeer upon the tops of
the lamposts. I went into Fields and saw
the 50 foot Christmas tree and about a
thousand children waiting to see Santa
Claus. All this was very impressive and
excited a little Christmas spirit in me.
On my way home I passed a combina-tion
drug and liquor store. In bold red
and green letters was a sign that covered
the top half of the store window. The sign
read: "Get the true Christmas spirit." It
was trimmed with holly and had a picture
of a whiskey bellied Santa Claus pointing
to bottles containing the proprietor's con-ception
of the "true spirit of Christmas."
At first my rage boiled but then my anger
subsided and changed to pity. I decided that
the owner of that store didn't know the
Christ of Christmas. Nor could he have
known the Blessed Holy Spirit, for he had
made a rank substitution.
Christmas trees, colored lights, presents,
and decorations are in one sense superficial
but are hardly to be considered in the same
vein of thought with the store window ad-vertisement.
Yet I remember last year at
Julotta (Christmas Eve Service) a number
of the congregation, myself included, fell
Christ reveals himself to me as I seek
Him. Therefore the danger to me at this
season is not in bottles but the same old
foreign spirit that works on me all year
long to neglect the fellowship between my
Lord and me.

Niles Supervises
Skating Rink
by Lucius A. Butler
Have you been wondering about the
boards sticking up through the snow? If
so, here is your answer! A skating rink
is under construction behind our Field
House. This rink, measuring approximately
ninety by one-hundred-twenty feet, will be
under the supervision of Jim Niles, chair-man
of the skating rink committee which
was chosen by the Student Council last
Tuesday evening. Others on the committee
are John Yonkers, Ed McMillian, Ernie
Kratofil, Ray Remple, and John Mix.
When will the rink be open? This ques-tion
can only be answered by the passing
of time. However, tentatively it is planned
to open shortly after the Christmas vaca-tion.
"For god so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."
"Wonderfull, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlast-ing
Father, Prince of Peace."
cm5 of Tbotigbt
by President Wingblade
In the old poem we have the words "Christmas Everywhere Tonight." And
yet as far as true Christmas celebration and knowing the Christ of Christmas,
there are millions and millions for whom it is not Christmas at all on "Christ-mas
But Christ came to die for the "world" and to save the
"world" and in that sense Christmas is - for "everywhere to-night."
The slogan "Christ for the world and the world for
Christ" rings true to the love of God and to the gospel.
When Christ was in the flesh he was limited. When John
leaned on His breast then Peter had no room. When the
Greeks came to see Jesus we have no record of Jesus appear-ing
to them but it was rather as if a bell rang in His heart—
the bell of Calvary: "The hour is come that the Son of man
should be glorified. Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die it abideth alone, but if it die it bringeth
forth much fruit." "And if I be lifted up from the earth I will
draw all men unto me."
Only the crucified and risen Christ could bring salvation to the Greeks and
Romans and the Jews—and to those who were afar off. The Christ of Christ-mas
is today an infinite Christ.
We have a Christ who is so great that He is able to be a Saviour to mil-lions
and billions of men.
We have a Christ who is so great that He is able to hear and heed the cry
of millions and billions of hearts with "undivided attention."
We have a Christ who is so great that everyone of us may be "closest" to
Him without crowding anyone else aside. All may be in the "inner circle" and
feel the pulsating love and power of His infinite heart.
In His Name, we say — "A Merry Christmas to all."
Plato or Santa Claus?
by Dean Carlson
College people have a way of assuming that by the time they are scholarly
enough to be interested in Plato they have left Santa Claus behind. The only
exception would be if they should playfully go back into their childhood world
of make-believe for a frivolous hour or two on Christmas eve. The truly ser-ious
scholar, however, is vitally interested and should firmly believe in St. Nicholas.
You will recall that Plato had some significant ideas
about "ideas". To him the reality of a thing consisted not
in the material thing but rather in the "idea" back of it;
that is, the material thing observed by the human eye is
merely an expression of an abstract reality which he termed
the "idea". On that basis, there are "ideas" back of the Santa
Clauses which come into our experiences at thil time of the
I seem to meet two different Santas each Christmas —
and only two. They are dressed alike. They laugh the same,
and carry the same amount of pillows inside their red coats.
But really they are very different, and I can usually tell them apart quite well.
Back of the one is the "idea" of good-will. He represents genuine concern
for the welfare of people everywhere; regardlss of race, nation, clan, or age. I
believe firmly in this bearded gentleman, and I welcome his increased roll in
the Christmas season. I want to know him better and associate with him more.
Then my soul rebels when I meet the other character dressed in that gay
garb. While he speaks the same phrases, so meaningful in the Christmas season,
at times he even quotes the Scriptures, but the "idea" back of him is that of
profit, personal gain, and the indulgence of selft This Santa Claus may have been
at the North Pole making toys, but I am sure he has never been at Bethlehem.
Is he not the anti-thesis of Christ and of the true Christmas?
Merry Christmas to all! I hope your Christmas season may be spent in the
fellowship of the true Santa, and, accordingly, that the season may be rich in
spiritual fellowship and service.
My Kingdom for a Date
(Part I of Three Parts)
by B. Hoagasian
There can be no doubt that a social
problem exists on Bethel's campus. If this
school is a match factory as some stal-wards
suggest—it might be well to state
that the matches are too wet to light a fire.
Almost no one dates—unless you can call
girls going with girls and boys going with
boys to campus events dating.
We need to define the purpose of dating,
apparently. Dating is a means for the attains
ing of social integration of the sexes—an
understanding of one another's minds (so
far as possible). It is the means used to
"fellowship" with the opposite sex, primar-ily.
If something deeper ensues all well and
good. This idea is not understood by many
students on this campus and other Chris-tian
campuses—and it is tragic because in
this stage of our young lives it behooves
us to become socially integrated to be
more effective servants of God. Then too,
it is possible to have a good time with the
opposite sex, the views of certain hermets
Today we want to examine some of the
reasons given by boys for not dating girls—
no punches withheld! First of all, the com-monest
complaint by the fellows is "I can't
afford to date." Of course that depends on
whether the girl in view has expensive
tastes or not, but by and large there are
sufficient events taking place on campus
which are free so as not to overburden the
well nigh bankrupt fellows. Nor does one
have to take a girl out for a triple thick
malted unless he's "loaded." Most girls
are satisfied with a "coke" (some will even
go "dutch treat" and a few-long dead—pay
for the boy's "treat".) Running an extreme-ly
close second to the above reason for not
dating is the legitimate protestation "I took
this gal out,twice—and now everyone thinks
I'm going steady—the other girls won't date
me!" This complaint holds true for both
sexes and is magnified because of Bethel's
comparitively small student body. A third
complaint is "I didn't find out till long
after I was refused that she's going steady
with someone at home." Fourth, "I called
two of them and they said they had study-ing
to do—but I saw them at the game with
other girls!" Fifth, "Most of them are just
plain sloppy—I wouldn't date them on a
bet." And lastly—"They're too eager.'
Our next article will present the ladies'
point of view and our final article will
sum up the difficulties and present possible
solutions to better Bethels date life. (Sug-gestions
for solutions of the problem plus
"gripes" about the opposite sex are cheer-fully
I have just returned from a vacation in
the north and south. Northern Illinois and
southern Wisconsin. I chose "Jan" Lewrenz's
Modern World History Book to abide in and
wasn't disturbed a bit. Like most Bethelites
she had good intentions and little ambi-tion.
The only disturbing factor in our brief
journey was the singing. After hours of
enthusiastic choral renditions Ruth Borg
announced she was going to sleep—and as
I heaved a sigh of relief she gave forth
with a blast on some Scandahoovian hymn
called "Trygvie Lie left home this morn-in'."
And to top it off Eric Warnstrom ac-companied
her on his nose—he snores.
By the way fellows, if you're looking for
a hard working girl who can plow automo-biles
out of snowdrifts, Dorothy Stipanuk
is a good candidate. Who'd ever guess that
under that frail effeminate frame lay the
strength of Atlas?
Finally, one bit of superb vocal expres-sion
paiticularly caught my attention. Have
you ever thought of the perfume emmanat-ing
from stocking feet being likened to
Pea Soup? This was Eric Warnstrom's idea
after being innitiated to such odors on
the trip.
All fellows interested in
track, baseball, golf, and tennis,
meet in the gymnasium at 3:00
p.m. Monday, December 8. Those
unable to attend please see Del
Ray Peterson as soon as pos-sible.

Veteran's Corner
Q. After World War II, I went to
college under the GI Bill where
I used my 48 months of en-titlement
to get my BS degree.
After graduation, I went back
on active duty. Now I hear
there's a new GI Bill for Kor-ean
veterans. When I am dis-charged
again, will I be able
to use this new GI Bill to go
ahead with graduate studies?
A. No. The law states that veter-ans
like yourself, who have
trained under earlier veterans'
training programs, may be en-titled
to a total of 48 months
of training under the old pro-grams
and the new GI Bill
combined. Since you've already
used that maximum under the
World War II GI Bill, you are
not entitled to any further GI
training under the new law.
Q. I realize I'm entitled to only
once change of course under
the Korean GI Bill. But what
if I want to change schools
without changing course? Is
there any limit on the number
of changes of this nature?
A. The law imposes no restric-tions
on changing schools, so
long as no course changes are
involved. Before making your
move, however, you must apply
to VA for approval. If every:.
thing's in order, VA will issue
a supplement certificate au-thorizing
you to go ahead with
GI training in your new school.
Q. What's considered full - time
and part-time training in ac-credited
under-graduate col-lege
courses, under the Kor-ean
A. Full-time training consists of
at least 14 semester hours or
the equivalent. Three-quarters
time is between 10 and 14
semester-hours or the equiva-lent;
half-time, between 7 and
10 semester-hours, and less
than half-time, under 7 semes-ter-
hours or the equivalent.
Q. I hold a National Service Life
Insurance policy, and I'm also
drawing monthly disability
compensation payments from
the VA. Would it be possible
for VA to deduct the monthly
insurance premiums from my
compensation checks, so I
wouldn't have to bother with
the payments myself?
A. Yes. You may authorize VA
to deduct premium payments
from your monthly compensa-tion,

periodicals was given. The following excerpt is from the introduction
of the journal.
"Many alumni will remember Seminarie Posten, a student periodi-cal
which was launched in 1915. After two years it ceased publication
in favor of Bethel Herald, representing the Academy and Seminary. -- In
1921 Seminarie Posten appeared again. This time it succeeded better.
Five issues were printed during each school year until 1931 when the
name was changed to Bethel Evangel. No further numbers were pub-lished
after 1931 - 1932."

TB ... Or Not TB?
Tear it off, lick it, and pound your fist over it. Sounds like something you
do every time you mail a letter, doesn't it? But don't try_ to put this kind of
stamp in the upper right hand corner, or you'll find it back in your mail box in
a couple days.
So you're talking about Christmas Seals, you say.
You might answer me as one person did when I asked if he used Christmas
seals. "Oh," said the individual, "they send me a bunch of them in the mail
every year, but I always forget to use them."
How did something like, that ever get
started, you might ask. Well, it seems that
a Danish postal clerk first came up with
the idea back in about 1904. Then in about
1907 somebody over here in America
thought it might work here too. Soon the
National Tuberculosis Association took over
the control and distribution of the seals.
Now, Christmas Seals are sold to raise
funds to fight TB in about 40 countries.
Here's another interesting tidbit of know-ledge
I discovered. Some philatelists save
Christmas Seals along with their postage
stamps. The seals become rare because
no issue of them has ever• been reprinted
and each year the plates are destroyed.
Early seals are important collectors' items
and have even been counterfeited.
The money received from the seals help fight tuberculosis in three ways. First
is these chest X-rays that every Bethel student must have each year. I know
because I had to chase way downtown for mine because I wasn't available on the
day the unit was at school. Secondly, the seals pay for what they call the "Man-toux"
test. This one has pain attached to it — they stick you with a needle.
Lastly, the seals provide education for better health, the main preventive of all
The fact is this—Tuberculosis kills more people than all other infectious
diseases combined. It can be prevented and it can be cured if, and that's a big
if, it is caught in time. In its early stages it gives no warning symptoms. About
150,000 people have TB in the United States and don't know it.
The true spirit of Christmas is giving. Why don't you give others the op-portunity
you have to know whether you have TB. Also you will be helping to
continue the means that protects you.
Suicide--or the Savior?
by Jay Fernlund
I really didn't want to go. "I could stay home and catch up on those letters in-sead
of making a spectacle of myself passing out tracts on those dirty, chilly, de-pressing
streets. Besides, I don't think there's any use in it anyway, there's hardly
ever anyone really saved and there'll be a lot of other kids going." Something
compelled me, however, and I couldn't stay away. How I praise Him now for push-ing
me! Why? Because of Bert . . . but let me explain.
We first saw him near the depot on a deserted street, half-running, half-stumb-ling
along, an old, bent-over drunken man. He mumbled something as we gave Shim
a tract, finally we could make out what it was. "Don't know where I'm going . . .
I just want to kill someone; isn't that an awful thing? . . . no, you can't help me,
no one can . . . let me go." But we -didn't let go and as we led him down the street
looking for a diner, we told him of One who could help him.
A few sips of black coffee helped, and he began - to understand what we were
saying. Still, "No, no; I'm too great a sinner . . . you can't help me . . . I'll just
leave you now . . . thanks for your trouble." Why we didn't give up then, I'll never
know; it seemed like such an impossible situation. Outside again, Marian left me
to rejoin the group and I continued to plead, praying,_ as I've prayed few times
before, for a powerful anointing of the Holy Spirit.
Then God took over! Miraculously, inch by inch, Bert was raised out of the
miry clay, out of Satan's clutches, onto the Rock Christ Jesus! "Yes, God does
love me . . . yes, He does have all power . . ." Here he uttered a short, simple
prayer for God's help . . . then the Spirit continued its work. "Yes, Christ flied
for me . . . yes, God now can and wants to forgive my sins . . . but, oh, I'm such
an awful sinner . . . can He help me?" I fairly shouted, "Bert, just give Him a
chance to help . . let Him come into your heart and life!" After drinking in
the few verses we read together, he prayed, and God answered!
Then the transforming power of the Gospel! "I feel so much better! I hope,
. . . no, I shouldn't say that, should I . . . I know He will help me now! Isn't
that wonderful to know you're going to Heaven! Now I have something to live
Thanks to the Editor
For two and a half years of service to Bethel students as editor -in-chief of
the Clarion, I would speak on their behalf and say, "Thanks, Rog."
However, most of them don't understand that it took late hours and the
sacrificing of your time to put out each issue, but I'm sure they have appreciated
your finished product.
You took your job seriously, Rog, and with the diligence of a showman you
put out your paper.
Like most of us you had to learn a few things by experience. But under the
pressure of criticism I've never seen you once bog down. Instead, you took
the slams graciously and proceeded to profit from them.
Truth makes journalism an honorable
profession, but perhaps only a journalist
knows how extremely difficult it is to be
always honest in writing. You have al-ways
taught your staff not to slant their
The usual conception of the disposition of an editor is snappy, gruff, short,
and scolding. Yet you've never shown any of those traits but rather have always
been even-tempered, shouldering the blame yourself when things went wrong.
Seldom were you one eto give advice but one thing I'll always remember. "Use
good judgment," you said. Editorials were never take-offs condemning nor did
they resound as if the editor got carried away by his emotions.
Your staff and_its new editor are going to miss you, Rog, and all Bethel
win miss seeing you in its newspaper. I'm sure, however, that we'll be calling on
you many times in the future for advice and guidance.
I'm going to have a hard time trying to fill your shoes, Rog, but by your
motto I'll serve and from the inspiration you've given me, I'll write.
Thank you, chief.
for! Oh, I'm so glad we met tonight, I don't know what would have happened to
me if you hadn't come!" Talk about thrills! We were all bubbling over that night
as we saw his beaming face! We learned later that he had a Christian mother,
who's prayed for years that her boy would find Christ. What a lesson to those
of us who'd give up so soon.
The end of the story? No, for I went to see Bert just yesterday.- He lives in
what is more of a shack than a home, but there is joy in that dwelling tonight.
He'd re-read the verses I'd marked in his gospel and had prayed daily since we'd
met. The genuineness of his conversion was proved when he showed real concern
to be a witness to his 'neighbors. After a little chat, we prayed and he asked the
Lord for victory over drink and tobacco, thanking Him again for sending the tract
club out that night.
Oh, how precious to see the work of grace begin! How wonderful to rest on
His promise that as many as received Him, to them gave He power . . . "over

What Is
cod's Invasion_,
by Catherine Brandt
Carrying out the time-honored belief that the Christmas season
is a time for rejoicing musically, the Twin Cities abound in oppor-tunities
to hear yuletide music.
The Christmas Choral Pageant, an annual event in St. Paul, will
take place Sunday, December 7, at 4:00 p.m., in the St. Paul Auditorium.
It is given without charge. The chorus is 'composed of St. Paul singing
groups of all faiths.
Duo pianists, Vronsky and Babin, will be guest performers at the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra's December 11 concert, at 8:30 p.m. in

Five Bethel students have been accepted by God's Invasion Army
for service through 1953.
Students interrupting their college careers for "Army" service are;
Carol Joy Turnwall, Shirley Anderson, Joy Shogren, and Roger Holm,
sophomores, and Bailey Anderson, a junior.
Leaving the Twin Cities January 6 for Tacoma, Wash., they will
train for six weeks with about 45 other young people from all over
the nation.
Jim Merrill and his wife Wanda are the new leaders of God's
Invasion Army. They have recently returned from Germany after two
years' work with German youth. Mr. Merrill helped to organize Die
Rufe in Germany, a work roughly similar to God's Invasion Army.
Joy Shogren, Winnipeg, a mini-ster's
daughter, sums up her re-actions
to "Army" service thus: "I
think it is wonderful. I believe it
will be of great value in practical
Joy is a member of the German
Club, B.W.A., and F.M.F. classes.
She works at the Grain Terminal
four to five hours a day.
Carol Joy Turnwall is a daughter
of the Reverend William Turn-wall,
Chairman of Home Missions
Board of the General Conference.
She is the president of the B.W.A.
and a member of the all-school
social committee.
"I hope Bethel students will re-member
us in prayer," Carol asks.
"I am looking forward with keen
anticipation and trembling to the
day I will be a member of God's
Invasion Army".
Shirley Anderson, Duluth, tells
how she feels about leaving for this
new work. "I believe it's the place
God wants me. I'm sure that in a
year the 'Army' will give my later
school work real purpose. I'll be
back at Bethel next year."
Shirley has served in youth
work, Bible school, and on gospel
teams. She is a member of the
German Club and the all-school
social committee.
Roger (Whitey) Holm, Soudan,
Minnesota, is a son of an under-ground
iron mine foreman. He be-came
a Christian in his home
church June 1950 and has had ex-perience
in Sunday School, B. Y.
and Daily Vacation Bible School
When asked about serving in
God's Invasion Army, Roger said,
"God's Invasion Army came to our
church this summer and I felt
definitely called into it. I'll be
seared when I first start talking
to people, but I think it will give
me experience and knowledge that
I cannot gain from books. I ex-pect
to use my accordian in Sunday
School and church services."
Bailey Anderson, vice president
of the junior class and dining hall
potato peeler, hails from Des
Moines. He had some experience
with God's Invasion Army two
years ago in St. Paul. Bailey is a
member of the chapel choir, Swed-ish
Club and a gospel team. He
played the cello in the string quar-tet
and is also a pianist. In 1942
through the instrumentality of his
parents he accepted Christ as his
Savior in Lake Harriet Baptist
His father is a territory manager
for General Foods and Bailey work-ed
as a salesman for this company
during the summer.
Bailey said, "I'm looking forward
to a fruitful year. I feel it will be
an experience that I need. I have
wanted to be a part of God's
Invasion Army and the Lord has
led me to volunteer."

God's Invasion Army is a volun-teer
group of Christian young peo-ple
who give a year of their lives
for door to door evangelism.
Nurses, farmers, teachers, office
workers, students and others, give
up their jobs and studies to serve
without remuneration for a year.
Six to eight week's training is the
first step. The troop, numbering
gbout 50, learns the fundamentals
of the faith, techniques of person-al
work, and methods for reaching
children. Some time is spent on
"cults and isms."
Divided into squads of six to
twelve members, depending on the
size of the city. to be visited, they
work in areas designated by the
local pastor. They knock on the
doors of people in every class.
Bronx slums may be visited one
week and a home such as Bruce
Barton's the following week.
During part of their one to two
week stay, "Army" workers hold
evening services and afternoon
children's meetings. Members of
the local churches accompany G. I.
A. callers on some visitation trips.
Rev. Edward Nelson originated
and guided the development of
God's Invasion Army. It is part of
the work of the Home Missions
branch of the Baptist General Con-ference.
After four year's devoted
service as director the Rev. Nelson
has resigned. In order to be with
his wife and four children he has
accepted a pastorate in Sawyer,
Michigan. Jim Merrill and his wife
Wanda, are taking charge of G. I.
A. for the coming year.
Now in its fifth year, God's In-vasion
Army reports over 100,000
calls made and 5,000 decisions for
Christ recorded. The Conference is
gratified with the signal success
of this new venture. Ways and
means of extending its effective-ness
are being studied.
Widespread newspaper and maga-zine
publicity has been accorded
this movement. Church groups in
Sweden, England and Germany
have inquired about G. I. A. Sev-eral
denominations in America
have also investigated its possibili-ties.

quarter students as they leave school to enter "God's Invasion Army."

For the second time in the Kaffe Kopp Game history, the Faculty
squad walked off the court with top honors. This year, on November
20, the teachers downed the Publications, 54 - 30.
So much activity went on during the merry evening that the game
almost went without mention in most circles afterwards. A fine display
was put on by the Publication, but they were far surpassed in showy
antics by the faculty, who for once forgot their position and performed
crowd-pleasing stunts.
But back to the game. Led by
Del Peterson, Wally Peterson and
Gene Johnson, the faculty had little
trouble in subduing the disorgan-ized
team representing the Publica-tions
Faculty Hardwood Team
Wins Kaffe Kopp Game
Faculty jumped into a lead and
continued to maintain it through-out
the contest from the opening
whistle. Star performers for the
evening also included such as Sjor-dahl,
Bohne, Fagerstrom, Fischer,
Bergstrom and others most of the
crowd figured they would never
see perform on the basketball
For the Publications, Norris
Magnuson and Merlin Ordahl pro-vided
much of the opposition. They
were backed by such as Hedberg,
Hoagasian, Baxter, Erickson, and
several other "also rans".
It was a good win for the faculty
and at the same time, demonstrat-ed
to the large audience that the
event is one of the highlights of
the year in the combined fields of
sport and comedy.
St. Cloud lost little time jumping
into a huge 29 - 18 lead at the end
of the initial quarter. Paul Redin,
with seven, was carrying much of
the load in the period.
The Royals came back to out-score
the Huskies by one point in
the second quarter, 13 - 12. But this
still left the Teachers with a good
10 point lead. Oue bucket apiece
was scored in the second period
by Nyberg, Unruh, Redin, and
Peter Unruh led the second half
attack with four baskets in the
third quarter, but then was held
to none in the final stanza. As the
rest of the club slowed somewhat
in this half too, the final margin
was kept about the same until the
last minutes.
Peter Unruh led the squad for
the night with 18 points and Redin
followed with 14. Clarence Wood
gathered in 13. For St. Cloud,
center Don Buege was the big gun
with 23.
Election of officers was recently
held by the B-Club with Pete Un-ruh
chosen as President of the or-ganization.
Cal Edlund was elected
as vice-president and Clarence

Junior Varsity Succumbs
To Seminary Quintet
Still dazed from the stunning
power of St. Cloud's "B" team,
which scored an undecided victory
over the Bombers, the junior var-sity
again fell to defeat last Tues-day
night to Bob Sandin's seminary
Although the Bombers never
gave up and were a little hotter
than their previous game, they
were outscored 60 - 48 at the final
signal. The seminary took an early
two point lead and held it through-out
the game with the exception of
a few tie spots.
The sem boys got hot early in
the third period and climbed to a
twelve point lead. Roy Nelson sank
three successive long push shots
to pace the seminarians. The
Bombers got back within six points
of the opponents but dropped to
In an earlier edition we ran a
column emphasizing the need of a
B.S. degree in physical education
to attract high school athletes to
our school. Underneath the obvious
advantages of this program lies a
deeper and a more significant rea-son
for a physical education degree
at Bethel.
Athletes in U.S. colleges and
high schools are definitely in need
of an emphasis on moral and ethi-cal
principles. Bribery, graft and
gambling are taking the place of
the competitive spirit of athletic
contests and players are being lur-ed
by illegitimate methods.
Recent investigations and prob-ings
into the problems show many
causes for the misplaced emphasis
but most cases show a negligent
attitude on the part of coaches and
school administrations. Letters sent
to promising young athletes by
coaches and adminisrations which
offer an "easy road" in college
activities, scholastically and finan-cially,
lure athletes to the school
with the best proposal.
With such methods of attracting
fellows to play ball naturally re-sults
in a careless attitude on the
part of the players. At this point
one can see the value of a coach
and administrators who have had
definite training and emphasis on
Christian principles. Certainly
Bethel should play a definite role
in training leaders for this field
and place athletics in its proper
niche in school activities.
- Producing leaders will certainly
not completely eliminate the prob-lem
but will be a great step toward
alleviating the problem.
twelve points short at the end of
the game.
Leading scorer for the Bombers
was Mel Nygren with 16 points.
Ev Johnson sparked the seminary
team with his deceptive dribbling
and faking and poured in 14 points
to be their high scorer.

Bethel made the first game in the new fieldhouse a successful
one as they downed Winona State Teachers last Tuesday '76 - 73.
The Royals got off to a quick lead on Pete Unruh's free throw and
improved on this lead to 9 - 2. Then Winona sparred evenly with the
home cagers to a 18 - 8 first quarter score. Paul Redin pumped in nine
points this period.
Pete Unruh got hot for four baskets to help make the Royals
continue their lead over the Teachers. Clarence Wood also aided with
five points this quarter. Halftime score showed the Bethel five in

Bethel Loses Opener To
St. Cloud Teachers, 78-65
Losing the opening game of the season continued to be a tradition
for the Bethel basketball Royals as they dropped a 78 - 65 decision to
St. Cloud TC on the winner's court on November 25.
Too much height was the main factor for the defeat. The Royals
starting lineup of Paul Nyberg and Pete Unruh at forwards, Paul Redin
at center and Clarence Wood and Harold Erickson at guards came to
an average of only 6 foot even. Meanwhile the winning' Huskies unit
averaged 6'3" in height, with the tallest man at 6`6".

Some screen printers may consider taking chances on new technology too risky, but Intergraphics sees it as a gateway to experimentation and product expansion. Learn how the shop's adventurous and fearless spirit made it a successful graphics provider for an international client base.
By Lori Leaman
A forward thinker…restless inventor…an aggressive individual always looking for opportunities" are some of the ways people describe Conrad Desender, the founder and owner of Intergraphics, a label- and decal-printing company based in Winnipeg, Canada. It was these attributes that helped Desender grow a small, home-based print shop into a 100-employee, multimillion-dollar company that provides a variety of graphic and industrial printing services to numerous markets throughout Canada, Europe, and the US.
Desender started Intergraphics with his wife, Yvonne, in 1969. They began with a homemade graphics press, no staff, and little experience in operating a business. But they did have a great deal of ambition, excitement, and a desire to succeed. Conrad, who was born in Belgium, was introduced to screen-printing technology as a teenager while working in a print shop. At the time of starting his own business, he had accumulated 13 years of screen-printing experience. Yvonne worked at a bank for six years prior opening the business with her husband. She had no experience in screen printing, but brought with her a background in finance and a good head for business. They initially focused on point-of-purchase graphics and posters.
Desender took a chance after just two years and switched the focus of the business to the manufacture of decals. It was a smart and lucrative move. "Conrad attributes this change as the most far reaching and important in the history of his company," says Matt Jones, CFO of Intergraphics. "It was the one event that has led to his success and to defining the core of this business."
Intergraphics reaped the rewards of its change in specialization over the next few years, growing to a staff of four and adding an American Cameo semiautomatic graphics press. By the late 1970s, the company employed 15 and had installed semi-automatic presses manufactured by Mueller Graphics.
The introduction of thermal dies in the early 1970s revealed a chance for Desender to provide a product and service that he considered to be leading edge. In 1977, he purchased one of the first thermal diecutters in Canada.

You furnish the pictures, the American press baron boasted a century ago, as the story goes, and I'll furnish the war.
The violent conflict in Gaza between Hamas and Israel, halted after a cease-fire agreed to on Wednesday, has certainly produced powerful images of death and suffering that have been immediately circulated through social networks, no newspaper baron needed. The Israel Defense Forces, which concluded that it had failed to explain its actions adequately during the last Gaza war, in late 2008, had extensive plans to do a better job this time, according to news accounts in Israel.
The power of social networking — as musicians, journalists and businesses have quickly learned — is that when done right, the audience does the work, passing on the message to others, who in turn pass it on. But it is a tricky business, mixing the gravity of war with a medium that can appear obsessed with triviality.
In fact, early on, Israel was criticized for a program on the military's blog — something that began months before the Gaza conflict — that gives "badges" to visitors for their contributions to the cause on social networks. One critic accused Israel of the "gamification" of war.
Certainly, when you engage social networks, you lose control of your message, for example, once a Twitter posting has flown.Continue reading the main story
And indeed, the Israeli military has gotten off to an uneven start.
Barely hours after Israel had killed the head of Hamas's military wing, Ahmed al-Jabari, leading to Hamas's firing missiles into Israel, the official Israeli military Twitter feed, now with 200,000 followers, circulated posters that showed missiles falling toward the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty and the Sydney Opera House, asking, "What would you do?" Below was the note: "Share this if you agree that Israel has the right to self-defense."
But that "soft" message was accompanied with more aggressive online behavior that was immediately criticized as off key. The military posted a video to YouTube showing the Jabari assassination, which YouTube briefly took down but then returned, saying the removal was in error.
There also was a poster of Mr. Jabari, shaded blood-red with the word "Eliminated" stamped on it, and a taunting Twitter posting from the military: "We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead."
That posting earned a reply from the military wing of Hamas, Alqassam Brigades, addressed to the Israeli military's Twitter handle, @IDFspokesperson, "Our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are (You Opened Hell Gates on Yourselves)." The dialogue between the English-language Twitter feeds of the two combat enemies that day ended there.
To journalists who have tracked the Israeli military's immersion into social networking during the Gaza conflict, the boastful language has given way to postings that focus on the suffering within Israel. The shift makes sense, they say, because the material celebrating success by the military will not speak beyond the country's supporters.
Gilad Lotan, a data scientist who studies how information spreads in social networks, said that Israel had succeeded in getting its message out.
"The I.D.F.'s 'propaganda' has given Israel supporters all over the world digital ammunition that they can use to share, decontextualize and tell their version of the Israeli struggle," he wrote in an e-mail from Israel, where he was visiting. "And it has worked. These pieces of media have been shared immensely on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr."
To Ali Abunimah of the Chicago-based, pro-Palestinian Web site Electronic Intifada, to look at the online "branding" by either side is to look away from the reality on the ground.
"You can put in years of effort, and spend a lot of money," he said, "and make tremendous efforts to control the narrative, but the reality — when the missile hits and flattens a house — that's what changes the narrative."
Throughout the conflict, the use of social media has made it easier for each side to cocoon itself. There are rival Twitter hashtags: #pillarofdefense for the Israeli side, #gazaunderattack for the Hamas side.
Sometimes the same events get replayed on each Twitter feed with radically different meanings. Bombs fired from Gaza that land near Jerusalem are hailed by Alqassam as showing the ability of its forces to take the fight to the enemy, while the Israeli military feed includes the news as an example of wanton destruction.
In a rare case of cross-pollination, on Tuesday, Alqassam, which has 40,000 followers on Twitter, forwarded a post from the Israeli military that reported that five soldiers had been wounded by a missile fired from Gaza.
This week, the efforts to shape perceptions of the conflict have gone all the way to the top of the Israeli government. On Monday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted to his 120,000 Twitter followers an acknowledgment of the country's efforts in social networking: "I would like to thank all the citizens of Israel and all over the world who are taking part in the national information effort."
Twitter being Twitter, just below that comment appeared the reply: ".@netanyahu 'national information effort' is really hard to put in 140 characters. can we just use propaganda from now on?"
Shortly after his thank you, Mr. Netanyahu posted for a second time a photograph from the week before of an Israeli baby (face obscured) who had been injured by missiles fired from Gaza, with the caption, "For Hamas, every time there are civilian casualties, that's an operational success."
Roughly the same time Mr. Netanyahu first posted the photo of the injured baby, Alqassam Brigades used Twitter to share photos of an infant killed by an Israeli strike. Each had appended a comment — Mr. Netanyahu ("I saw today a picture of a bleeding Israeli baby. Hamas deliberately targets our children.") and Alqassam ("Where is the media coverage of Israel's crimes in Gaza?").Continue reading the main story

Jasper bass pro wins Sabine River tournament
The Sabine River on the Texas/Louisiana border was the scene of some serious bass fishing this past weekend, and in the end Jasper bass fishing pro Todd Faircloth won with a four-day total of 49 pounds, 6 ounces and took home a $100,000 check. He bested second-place finisher Dean Rojas by 6 pounds, 10 ounces.
The tournament was held out of Orange and a record BASS tournament crowd was on hand to see the pros bring in their best catches of bass from the Sabine River.
This was the first tournament of its kind to be held on the Sabine, which has excellent numbers of bass. In fact, it's not unusual to catch upward of 50 or so bass a day on the stretch of the Sabine River that flows from the Toledo Bend dam and on down to Sabine Lake.
"It means a lot to me to win here," said Faircloth. "I won one in Texas in Amistad, but that's not real close to my home. Winning here in front of my home crowd is special. I've got a lot of family and friends here, and a lot of people I grew up fishing with and against."
Faircloth's win — his fourth Bassmaster Elite Series title and second in Texas — was a victory in a four-day tug-of-war with Rojas, according to Cara Clark with BASS.
"Rojas led the first day, then Faircloth took the lead away from him on day two," said Clark. "The third day, Rojas got it back and led Faircloth by 3 pounds, 9 ounces. But Faircloth pulled away on day four by weighing a 14-9 limit, easily getting the best of Rojas, who had a single fish Sunday that weighed 4 pounds, 6 ounces."
On day four, Rojas had problems putting keeper bass in the live well. He finished with 42-12, ahead of Terry Scroggins with 41-1. Ish Monroe was fourth with 40 pounds, and Bill Lowen was fifth with 38-3.
"With 3 pounds, 9 ounces to make up and overtake Rojas on Sunday, Faircloth made an important correction: He slowed down and focused on the areas that seemed to hold the better fish," said Clark. "One advantage Faircloth had was that Rojas was sharing water with two other anglers, while he had an area to himself."
Faircloth targeted fish in an area he described as a "bayou off a bayou" off the Taylor River.
"It was a flat, bay-like area 3/4-mile long and 400 to 500 yards wide," said Dave Precht, with BASS. " He worked that same area back and forth for four days. Most of the fish were probably on spawning beds, but he couldn't actually see the beds."
"It's a vast, wide-open area, and the fish were scattered throughout it," said Faircloth. "I marked my trails on my GPS, and if I didn't get bit, I wouldn't work that trail again."
The top lures for Faircloth varied from a jerkbait to a stickworm. He said he caught most of his fish on a 5-inch Strike King Swim'n Caffeine Shad soft jerkbait. He alternated between pearl-blue/glimmer-back and watermelon-red color patterns. He used a 1/16-ounce weight to Texas rig the bait. But if he missed a hookup on a hit, he grabbed a rod rigged with a 5-inch Strike King Ocho stickworm in the double-header color, also Texas rigged but with a 1/8-ounce weight. He was able to keep the Ocho in the strike zone longer to get the missed fish, he said.
Big bass of the tourney weighed 6 pounds, 1 ounce. The best five bass limit was caught by Faircloth and weighed 16 pounds, 8 ounces.

GA Terrorism Suspects Allegedly Wanted To Make Fox Expert's Blood-Soaked Novel A Reality
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
Four alleged members of a Georgia militia group were arrested yesterday relating to their alleged plot to kill numerous government officials. According to the complaint, one of the arrested repeatedly cited as the source of their plan the novel Absolved, authored by Fox News expert Mike Vanderboegh, the former militia member famous for urging his blog readers to hurl bricks through the windows of Democratic offices.
In Vanderboegh's novel, which was self-published online, underground militia fighters declare war on the federal government over gun control laws and same-sex marriage, leading to a second American revolution. In the introduction to Absolved, Vanderboegh calls the book "a cautionary tale for the out-of-control gun cops of the ATF" and "a combination field manual, technical manual and call to arms for my beloved gunnies of the armed citizenry."
The Alabama-based blogger was one of the first to report on the ATF's failed Operation Fast and Furious. He has since promoted a variety of absurd conspiracy theories about the story.
In recent months, Fox News has mainstreamed Vanderboegh, treating him as an expert on the ATF's Operation Fast and Furious, featuring him in cable and online reports and identifying him as an "online journalist" and an "authority on the Fast and Furious investigation." Fox has not acknowledged Vanderboegh's extremist views, actions, and affiliations.
The self-proclaimed Toccoa, Georgia-based "covert group" was allegedly plotting to obtain explosives and silencers and to manufacture ricin, a biological agent. According to the complaint, the group planned to target for assassination numerous government officials, including judges and employees of the Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service.
The complaint alleges that at an April meeting one of the accused, Frederick Thomas, said he "intended to model their actions on the plot of an online novel called Absolved":
THOMAS also explained to the others present that he intended to model their actions on the plot of an online novel called Absolved. The plot of Absolved involves small groups of citizens attacking United States federal law enforcement representatives and federal judges. THOMAS expressed his belief that they should consider a number of assassinations on various government officials, and he particularly expressed a desire to kill Department of Justice (DOJ) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees.
The complaint also alleges that at a prior meeting, Thomas "mentioned a fictional novel he had read on-line in which an anti-government group killed a large number of federal Department of Justice attorneys, and then he stated, 'Now of course, that's just fiction, but that's a damn good idea.' " Thomas also allegedly linked his plan to Absolved during a June 9 meeting.
According to the complaint, in May, Thomas and a confidential government source traveled to Atlanta and "conducted surveillance" on ATF and IRS offices "to plan and assess for possible attacks," with Thomas discussing obtaining explosives and the best way to blow up the buildings. The complaints allege that from June through November, Thomas and defendant Dan Roberts negotiated the purchase of explosives from an undercover agent. The government also alleged that in October, the other two members of the group described to the confidential source plans to manufacture ricin and disburse it in U.S. cities.
Roberts' complaint describes the defendents as "members of a fringe group of a known militia organization, with the fringe group calling itself the 'covert group.' " According to FBI sources, the "known militia organization" is the Georgia Militia, a statewide militia with at least a dozen active chapters, or "battalions" according to its website. The Georgia Militia website identifies Toccoa resident Dan Roberts as both a "Captain" and the commanding officer of the Toccoa-based 440th Squad. Emails to address listed for Roberts were not immediately returned.
In a post to his blog yesterday evening, Vanderboegh linked to an article about the arrests, commenting, "Pretty geriatric 'militia.' What does ricin have to do with 'saving the Constitution'? The only idiots I ever heard interested in ricin were neoNazis."
In his "Internet Introduction" to the novel, Vanderborgh wrote that that Absolved is "a cautionary tale for the out-of-control gun cops of the ATF," and explained:
For that warning to be credible, I must also present what amounts to a combination field manual, technical manual and call to arms for my beloved gunnies of the armed citizenry. They need to know how powerful they could truly be if they were pushed into a corner.
Vanderboegh portrays himself as preparing for the unfortunate day when the events in Absolved may come to pass (though he says that "another civil war in this country is the last thing I want.") He is a leader of the Three Percenters, a group which claims to represent the three percent of gun owners who "who will not disarm, will not compromise and will no longer back up at the passage of the next gun control act" but will instead, "if forced by any would-be oppressor, ... kill in the defense of ourselves and the Constitution."
Vanderboegh has suggested that those who tried to push the licensing and registration of firearms would be "proposing the next American civil war" because the Three Percenters "would kill anyone who tried to further restrict our God-given liberty."
The complaint details a similar scenario described by Thomas:
THOMAS described a scenario in which he felt would be the "line in the sand" that would result in the activation of militias. THOMAS believed that soon, during a protest action, a protestor would be shot. It is his opinion the militias would act and respond by openly attacking the police. He then openly discussed having complied what he called the "Bucket List" which is a list of government employees, politicians, corporate leaders and members of the media he feels needed to be "taken out" to make the country right again."
Last year, Vanderboegh posted on his blog what he described as a report on his book by the Kansas City Regional Terrorism Early Warning Group, an organization of local, state, and federal law enforcement working with public and private parties to detect and respond to terrorist threats. The report stated:
The stories told by Vanderboegh show that many in the U.S. harbor a belief that the U.S. government is planning, or will plan, a confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens. The degree to which he glorifies the killing of law enforcement personnel involved in fictional gun raids also shows the extent many will go to spread their ideology. Vanderboegh's and other works of literature have the possibility to inspire those with extremist beliefs to carry out similar attacks depicted in the writings.
The report described Vanderboegh's novel as "very similar" to National Alliance founder William Pierce's The Turner Diaries, which depicts a U.S. race war in the near future and may have inspired Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Vanderboegh took issue with the characterization, writing,
Yeah, except the whole race war terrorism thing where the Nazis win in the end and fantasize about hanging "race traitors" like me. Yeah, all except for that. Here's the main difference. Pierce was trying to start a war, I'm trying to prevent one.

The inner padding is hand tufted, compressing it for exceptional back support and minimizing body impressions.
Each mattress is meticulously hand tufted with European tufting straps to pre-compress the cotton padding for orthopedic back support. Hand tufting is a process our company founder, Abe Kaplan learned back in the 1930's while working for Heals of London, a premiere mattress maker, who at the time made mattresses for the Royal Family of England. It takes our skilled craftsmen much longer to make one of our custom made, hand tufted mattresses, but quality has always been more important to our company than how many we can make in a day.
Most other mattresses are not tufted. The padding materials in these "generic construction" mattresses are merely secured to the perimeter edges of the mattress. The advantage to tufting is less body impressions in the mattress because the padding is pre-compressed with the tufting straps, rather than just resting on the surface.

During the first half of this evenings show Joseph welcomes special guest & our friend Numerologist Alison Baughman. Alison is a master when it comes to numbers and numerology. Alison also writes a monthly numerology forecast for Joseph's monthly newsletter. Now Alison will be joining the show the second Tuesday of every month. She will let us know what to expect for the coming month. We will also open up the phone lines at some point so Alison can give callers a short numerology forecast.
As always Joseph will shift the show over to a new focus during the second half of tonight's program. Joseph will continue by going to the phone lines to take your calls & help by connecting with spirit to answers your questions. Be sure to tune in live to find out when Joseph opens the phone lines for your opportunity to talk to Alison and Joseph.
