Bethel College is proud to have a qualified man for the position of Dean after a two year search. With the election of Dr. Virgil Olson to the position of Vice President and Dean of the College, all of the executive positions of the college and seminary are filled. For seventeen years prior to the accepting of the deanship. Dr. Olson was Professor of Church History and Missions at Bethel Theological Seminary. For part of this time he also served as Registrar. Dean Olson graduated from Bethel Junior College. Ma-calcster College, Bethel Seminary, and he received his Th.D. from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago. Further, he has done post doctoral work at Northwestern University and Uppsala University in Sweden. He has been active in the Baptist General Conference. serving as a pastor in three churches, and also serving on Conference Boards and once being elected as Moderator of the Conference. The new Dean feels challenged by his new position. Someone asked him how he felt about being in the ivory tower ' since becoming dean. He replied. I was more in an ivory A Man With a Vision . . . Dr. Virgil Olson. Dean tower when I was in the classroom, because there you could deal with all the problems of the world and not worry about making many responsible decisions. Now must make decisions that affect many lives and important programs. I enjoy the risks as well as the rewards of decision making.' The Dean has been impressed by the caliber of the student body. He feels that they have great potential and he hopes that when Bethel students leave the school they will be willing to be a part of the mission of God's Kingdom in the world. According to the Dean, the Christian liberal arts college is to try to prepare man so that he is fully conscious of the greatness of the Creator God as well as the Redeemer God. The liberally trained man must he able to integrate the natural aspects of life with the spiritual if he is to be a person dedicated to the service of God. ' The Dean continues by slating his agreement with the statement: Education should provide the experience of coming to terms with and accepting responsibility for oneself and one's world. 16 1 - ............................. —

That discussion on studies inspired me all right to give up Bethel before Bethel gives up me! Experiences recalled and wishful thinking echoed around Bethel's campus for days following the annual retreat. For many Frosh. the choice between Stuffy meetings and too much free time seemed rather disappointing. The fellowship of retreat had the stigma of the same sort of'de facto segregation often criticized on campus. Yet as they tumbled out of the buses amid pillows and sleeping bags, the Frosh found that Retreat was not so bad In the united struggle to defend themselves from having to beanie or button. Freshmen found that Retreat had given them status as a class. The warmth of the dorms cancelled the cold of Big Trout Camp, and memories of chilly days and stern upperclassmen eventually became lost as Bethel's Class of 1972 became diffused into the mainstream of life on campus. College brings out the maturity in each of us. 25
