Nancy Naumenko production editor Juan Ramos cartoonist Letters to the editor should be sent Suzi Wells copy editor Arlan Swanson business manager to p.o. 91 by the Sunday before publication THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 4 October 7, 1977 Future students get new welcome by Debbie Valder "Exciting" is the word which surrounds a very special student program that began this fall through Bethel admissions office. The program is called Sundouloi, which in Greek means "fellow servants." Sundouloi is a group of twelve selected sophomore students who serve as student representatives for campus visitors. Their job includes giving campus tours, hosting students to classes, and describing Bethel to guests through informed students' eyes. Sundouloi's reason for exis-tence is twofold: 1) "To create a dynamic visit experience for the prospective student and his parents by utiliz-ing students as admissions asso-ciates. 2) To create spiritual unity among the Sundouloi members as they serve together in this minis-try. The desired goal is that this fellowship will spiritually edify not only the Sundouloi members but the entire Bethel community as well." Admissions counselor and re-cruitment coordinator Merri Lee Hipp parented the program after seeing a great need for student representatives during her three years in admissions. After ob-serving host programs at Wheat-on and Trinity last April, the Bethel program got under way. RA's were asked to select stu-dents who they felt had had a positive experience at Bethel, were good communicators, and would enjoy giving tours. During the summer letters were sent out to these people describing the program and interested students responded. Fifty applications were returned. Throughout the summer Merri Lee gave interviews, considering the students' spiritual and devo-tional life, their articulateness, personality, and academic record. "We needed kids who could handle rough situations. Parents' questions about Bethel can get very difficult," said Merri Lee. Six women and six men were fi-nally selected by an admissions committee of James Bragg, Joyce Wold and Merri Lee. "They're beautiful kids with impressive testimonies," said Merri Lee. Sundouloi members then began detailed training in a six-hour on-campus session. They exam-ined Bethel's philosophy of re-cruitment, admissions proce, dures, requirements, financial aid information, counseling tips, lib-eral arts philosophy and the mechanics of giving a tour. Though this training is very important Merri Lee emphasizes that Sundouloi is primarily a spiritual ministry. "Without the Lord's help this would just be a group of students giving a good tour like any secular school," she said. "Sundouloi members have the greatest impact on guiding students to Bethel." continued on page 2 by Stephen B. Starr Every dreamer, adventurer, or romantic will enjoy the drama de-partment's presentation of "Rain-maker," to be performed October 13-15 and 18-22 in Bethel's exper-imental theater. "Rainmaker" is a romantic comedy by N. Richard Nash about a Nebraska farm family in the midst of drought. Lizzy, the 27-year-old unmarried daughter of H.C. Curry, is subject to her father's and oldest brother's at-tempts to find her a man. When the rainmaker, Starbuck, swings into town, everyone is enthralled, including Lizzy. Starbuck promises rain for the farmers and love and excitement for Lizzy. When the deputy of the town offers to marry Lizzy too, she is forced to choose between a dreamer and a practical family man. "Starbuck loves taking trips around the world and making friends by fast talking." That's how Bruce Bohne describes the character he portrays. Bruce, a senior theater arts and communi-cations major, sees much of him-self in Starbuck, making the role an enjoyable challenge. Bruce is a veteran of the Bethel stage having appeared in "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Render Unto Caesar," "The Importance of Being Earnest," and "The Hobbit." He also played in "Death of a Salesman," at the Chimera Theater in St. Paul. Mary Wilson, a junior theater major, plays Lizzy. Mary sees Lizzy as "strong yet sensitive, romantic yet family oriented. She likes to laugh and still be practi-cal." Mary depicts this variety of emotions with skill. She was active in high school plays, travel-ed with the Berkeley Street Theater for a year, and appeared in "Showboat" last year at Beth-el •The other members of the cast include Ron Hultgren, senior; Bruce Nordeen, senior; Rick Reed, junior transfer; Ted Lewis, sophomore; and Tim Nethercott, sophomore transfer. Dr. Don Rainbow, director of the play, is excited about doing one of his favorite plays. Doc sees himself in Starbuck, the dreamer who dares to dream big dreams and in File, the proud deputy, who needs his pride broken. Doc sees each of the six characters as being important to the advancement of the story line. Each one is an excellent character study for the actors. Doc has tremendous confidence in his actors. He said, "We work long, hard hours. The actors give themselves completely to the success of this show. They take pride in the quality of their work; there just isn't any option to lag behind." The cast has had one month to prepare the show and they prac-tice three or four hours a night. This week will involve final polishing before opening night on Thursday, October 13.
