The drama department promises
to contribute to Homecoming one
of the most ambitious dramatic
productions ever attempted on the
Bethel campus.
Dubbed 'Man '67', the evening is
built around the medieval play
Everyman. Constructed around his
personal philosophy of theatre,
that of total involvement, what is
called in dramatic jargon, total
theatre, the evening pivots on
three main sections.
The first section consists of a
labyrinth designed to show what is
happening to modern man. A ple-thora
of advertisements, sounds,
and lights will be hurled at the
participant. Drowned in this flood
of commercialism the playgoer
emerges into the theatre proper
to be deluged once again with the
light, and sounds of modern en-,
vironment, and with actors super-imposed
on the scene, there will
The large influx of freshmen
onto the Bethel campus this fall
has been successfully counteracted
with a similar inflow of trained in-structors.
Eight new faculty mem•
bers and a number of part-time in-structors
have been added to com-plete
Bethel's fall slate of person-nel.
A new addition to the English
department is Jon M. Fagerson who
has assumed an assistant profes-sorship
there. Mr. Fagerson did his
undergraduate and masters work
at Harvard and is currently com-pleting
his doctoral program at the
University of Minnesota. An out-doorsman,
Mr. Fagerson, wih his
wife, Mary, and their two young
daughters, Beth and Sally, were in-troduced
to Minnesota's scenic
specialties when they joined the
college canoe trip down the St,
Croix River on Saturday, Septem-ber
23rd.
Robert A. Guelich, a graduate of
Wheaton College, the University
of Illinois and Fuller Theological
Seminary, is visting instructor of
Biblical literature. He comes to
Bethel from the University of Ham-burg,
Germany, where he has just
received his Th.D.
The women's physical depart-ment
has a new instructor in Carol
E. Morgan, who is beginning her
teaching career after having re-cently
graduated from Wheaton
College.
Another new professor currently
engaged in graduate studies at the
PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY,
September 22. College seniors pre-paring
to teach school may take the
National Teacher Examinations on
any of the three different test
dates announced today by Educa-tional
Testing Service, a nonprol
fit, educational organization which
prepares and administers this test-ing
program.
New dates for the testing of pro-spective
teachers are: February 3,
April 6, and July 6, 1968. The tests
will be given at nearly 500 loca-tions
throughout the United States,
ETS said.
Results of the National Teacher
Examinations are used by many
large school districts as one of sev-eral
factors in the selection of new
teachers and by several states for
certification or licensing of teach-ers.
Some colleges also require all
seniors preparing to teach to take
the examinations.

this sequence the 'multi media' ap-proach.
Brought to an abrupt end by a
black out, the medieval play,
'Everyman' will begin. This simple
play attempts to present an answer
to the problems of life. The ob-vious
correlation of this answer to
the modern problems which are
highlighted in the first part of the
evening is the powerful conclusion
of the play.
The third phase is the introduc-tion
of a simple motif at the exit
which clinches the thoughts pro-voked
during the course of the
production.
The play will be presented four
times on Homecoming weekend.

OF SUFFERING
It is infinitely easier to suffer
in obedience to a human com-mand
than to accept suffering as
free, responsible men. It is in-finitely
easier to suffer with
others than to suffer alone. It
is infinitely easier to suffer as
public heroes than to suffer
apart and in ignominy. It is in-finitely
easier to suffer physical
death than to endure spiritual
suffering. Christ suffered as a
free man, alone, apart, and in
ignominy, in body and in spirit,
and since that day many Chris-tians
have suffered with Him.

`Russia has a heritage of para-doxes,'
so said Dr. Donald Tread-gold
as introduction to his recent
address on the Russian Revolution.
These paradoxes are enmeshed in
the very fibre of Russia, he went
on to say. He cited economic fluc-tuations,
the presence of political
philosophs in a totalitarian so-ciety,
and the rising rebellious
beat of the young generation. Ex-panding
somewhat on the political
intrigue which has dogged Russian
history, Dr. Treadgold pointed out
that modern Russia is not a stran-ger
to this violent precedent. Up
to five years ago, every member
of the Politburo, with the excep-tion
of two, were either murdered,
or quietly put away.
Beginning the meat of his ad-dress,
Dr. Treadgold stated that
there were possibly three pivo-tal
dates in Russian history.
First was the emancipation of
the serfs in 1861. Though in
many ways this act was not im-mediately
successful it repre-sented
a drift in Russian society
from the central fount of au-thority
into a heterogeneous so-ciety.
It was accompanied by the
birth of local self-government,
an independent judiciary sys-tem,
and a universal military ob-ligation.
Sociologically, there ap-peared
a new breed of men, in-dustrial
workers, enterpreneurs,
and professionals. Politically, the
masses found their first voice in
the Duma — first representative
legislature in Russian history.
The second pinion in Russian
history represented a reversal of
this trend. It took the form of the
October Revolution in 1917. Rus-sia,
dogged with war, and spirall-ing
discontent, found herself em-broiled
in the throes of an internal
rebirth. The emergence of the
revolutionaries as the victors born
in blood, marked an era in Russian
history which reestablished a cen-tral
fountain of authority. It took
the form of forced collectivization,
nationalization of all industry—in
general the marshalling of all en-terprise
for the state. This trend
bore itself out in the suppression
of all opposition to the ruling
party, and reinitiated the totali-tarian
system used by the early
and middle Romanovs.
Dr. Treadgold made it clear,
however, that this attempt to
regiment the state into a single
monolith though in many cases
succeeded, had numerous lapses.
He cited the persistence and an-noying
success of garden plots
as a case in point. The attitudes
of the masses toward this trend
in Russian history made them-selves
clear on the day that Nazi
armies blitzed the Russian front,
and the lethargic resistance of-fered
by the Russian soldiers—
many, in fact, surrendering with-out
a struggle. In the open coun-tryside,
the peasants hailed the
advancing Nazis as liberators. It
was not long, however, before
the peasants realized that they
had become the victims of a
worse machine than before. The
result? The peasants were once
again forced into the arms of
their only alternative—Stalin.
But Stalin died in 1953, and there
begins the third era in modern
Russian history—a drift again to-ward
decentralization and tolera.,
tion of divergence in society. Dr.
Treadgold dealt briefly with the
three successors to Stalin—Malen-kov,
Krushchev, and Brezhnev,
each on his turn drifting further
and further toward a reform pro-gram.
Dr. Treadgold pointed out
with some humor that these men
—especially Krushchev, have not
been able to answer the dilemma,
of having risen to greatness in
Stalin's seedbed, and at once re-pudiating
him.
Dr. Treadgold's address raises
some serious questions as to where
Russian history is headed. If it is
true that the pendulum has swung
from the right to the left, and back
to the right again, is it not plaus-ible
that in the future sometime,
the pendulum will swing back
again to the left in a crack down
on centralization of the state? If

The House of Atreus, Tyrone Guthrie Theatre,
Minnesota Theatre Company, Sept. 25, 1967.
The Tyrone Guthrie Theatre's
House of Atreus revolves about
the eternal question of "What is
justice?" posed in the misty setting
of a distant era. The play is pro-duced
in the style of Greek dra-ma,
vividly recreating an atmos-phere
that had lain under centur-ies
of dust.
The House of Atreus was writ-ten
by the Greek playwright Aes-chylus,
half a millenium before
the birth of Christ. A fascinating
mixture of history and mythology
provides the framework for a
fierce struggle that extends be-yond
man into the realm of the
gods and raises questions of eter-nal
significance.
Treachery and bloodshed have
hung a curse over the House of
Atreus, royal family of the Greek
city of Argos. The unhappy situa-tion
is further clouded by the ab-sence
of Agamemnon, Atreus' soil
and present King of Argos, who is
leading Greek f or c es against
Troy.
Charged emotions walks a tight-rope
between hope and foreboding
as the play opens in Argos. After
a wait of a decade, a series of bea-cons
relay to Argos the message
that Troy has fallen. Balancing
the hope generated by Agamem-non's
anticipated return is t h e
foreboding resulting from his
wife's unfaithfulness during his
long absence.
Agamemnon returns to an am-biguous
welcome, and is treacher-ously
murdered by his wife and
her lover. Agamemnon's death is
a direct consequence of his fa-ther's
crime, but his murder can-not
end the curse but only deep-ens
the stain of blood.
This bloodshed puts Orestes, Ag-amemnon's
son, in a crushing dile-ma.
Apollo commands him to av-enge
his father's death, but mur-dering
his mother is a sin as
abhorrent as that of not exacting
vengeance for his father's murder.
Hopelessly trapped between those
options, Orestes returns to Argos
from exile, seven years after Ag-amemnon
is killed.
Orestes then kills Clytemnestra
and Aegisthus and almost immedi-,
ately is beset by the Furies, god-desses
of the underworld, who pun-ish
the shedding of kindred blood.
Act II ends with the question of
whether the curse on the House of
Atreus can be absolved or if it
will continue in an everlasting
chain of bloodshed.
Briefly, the third act of the play
is one of reconciliation. Human
strength has been inadequate in
the face of such difficult prob-this
is the case, then how should
our foreign policy brace itself for
any future eventuality?
Does this experience of com-munism
in Russia mean anything
for communism in other environ-ments
such as China? Can we
expect an oscillation of society
there, from the single centered
state to the heterogeneous one?
In review of Dr. Treadgold's ad-dress
it must be said that barring
his delivery, the address was an
excellent primer for the novice in
modern Russian history and should
serve well to whet local appetite
for a knowledge of the story of the
Russian nation in its emergence as
one of the world's strongest, and
most influential states.
lems. The intervention of the gods
is man's last hope.
Urged on by the ghost of Cly-temnestra,
the Furies hound Ores-tes
from Apollo's temple, where
he has gone for purification, to
Athens. Here his case is presented
before Athena, who summons
twelve of Athen's wisest citizens
as a jury. After listening to Apol-lo
and the Furies, the twelve men
are evenly divided; the decision is
too great for man to make. Athena
then casts the deciding vote in
favor of Orestes, and pacifies the
Furies by giving them an honored
place in the community Reconcili-tion
is achieved and a new phase
of justice emerges from man's sor-row
and struggle eclipsing the
idea of justice as vengeance.
The ingredients which make the
stagging of this play impressive
are difficult' to enumerate. Light-ing
and sound effects contributed
greatly to the mood and action of
the play. Diction was exceptional-,
ly good in the main characters,
and the projection of the chorus
to the audience revealed excellent
direction. The movements of the
chorus, and the interpretation of
its lines added much to the Greek
atmosphere.
Clytemnestra came through as
the dominant character in the play,
both in acting, and as a literary
creation. Men played all the major
roles, and Douglas Campbell as
Clytemnestra did an amazing job
of conducting himself with a wo-man's
grace, and of delivering his
lines with powerful feeling.
Costuming, complete wtih masks
and elevated shoes, has to be seen
to be appreciated. The unenviable
task of showing the preter-natural
in material form was well done.
Apollo and Athena were depicted
as of gigantic stature, yet with-out
the artificiality of awkward-ness
of huge puppets.
House of Atreus is an "experi-ence."
It takes the viewer back to
a time and place that was, and
does so in a striking and impres-sive
fashion.

Real Campus Listeners
Seen In Short Supply
A good listener is a phenomenon. Someday, in the coffee
shop, grab the nearest acquaintance and tell him about some-thing
of great importance to you. Watch his reaction . . . is
he interested? Does he give you his undivided attention, or does
he continually look over your shoulder, nod to people as you
talk to him, develop a sudden fascination for the salt and
pepper shakers, or interrupt with an interjection concerning
himself? The latter seems to be a commonplace reaction ac-cording
to a goodly number of Bethel students. The result is
frustration, something that builds up enough in a typical school
day without this, another discouragement.
The real question is, do we really have a genuine interest
in other people? Do their thoughts and ideas matter to us?
Dag Hammarskjold, in his book Markings, speaks of man's in-born
need to communicate . . . how it means so much to us
that at least one person has seen the inside of our lives. This
insight definitely works two ways. As openness to life, a concern
and interest in the inward thoughts and desires of others cannot
help but form a better person, with a deeper knowledge of
himself because he has shared in an experience of another. I
must return to Mr. Hammarskjold to quote his thought con-cerning
the reason and result of our lack of the virtue of
listening. "Isn't the void which surrounds you when the noise
ceases your just reward for a day devoted to preventing others
from neglecting you?" Strange how our selfishness inevitably
appears whether it is in a diagram on a throne or in the coffee
shop humming The Star Spangled Banner while someone relates
emphatically to you his financial jam.
We really have nothing to lose in opening up ourselves
enough to experience something with another. And after all,
"How can we expect to keep our powers of hearing when we
never want to listen?" (D.H.)
Student Missions Project
Yields Personal Returns
The summer student missionary project is a stuffy, dusty
rag which has not been chewed over sufficiently. The waning
interest in its program is revealed in the meagre offerings, and
the number of applicants (12 last year). When campus institu-tions
are on the ebb, it is necessary to re-evaluate their mean-ing
and purpose.
For those on campus who seek some kind of return on
the money they invest during the school year there will be
some disappointment. The student missionaries are not super-men.
It is doubtful whether they will, with one summer abroad,
be able to set the campus on fire for missions. Those who
planned the program with this as one of its vital aims need to
weigh the plausibility of this aim again. If the program is con-tinually
presented as a direct benefit to the campus as a whole,
then there will naturally be disenchantment on the part of its
students.
As we see it, the prime mission of the student missionary
program is to provide an opportunity for the individual stu-dent
to test on the proving grounds his or her own attitudes
toward missions. What is it? Why is it? How is it? Is it for me?
This is where the missions project reaps its richest harvest, in
the results wrought in the lives of the handful who are privi-leged
to go.
A secondary purpose, of course, would be the assistance
rendered by the students to the various works in which they
become involved.
This is not to question the validity of the project. In fact,
it is to recognize that the project has much to offer, and should
be carried on by all means possible. There must, however, be
a new understanding brought about in the minds of the stu-dents
that student missionary projects will not yield to the
campus a direct return. Nor do we expect a direct return on
our investment when we tithe in our various churches. We do
have the promise, however, that God will use the means to
further his work which has also become our own.
When students realize this they will give more freely,,
and with that increase, there will be greater opportunity to
send more students and give more financial help to those who
wish to seek out some answers to modern missions on a for-eign
field. JPL

Mr. Keith Miller
An array of CLARION Home-coming
issues dating from 1957-to
the present may be valuable in pro,
viding an index to general trends
on Bethel's campus as well as to
trends in Homecoming celebration.
Two trends can be singled out
in relation to Homecoming observ-ances
over the years. First of all,
the college presently appears to be
in the midst of a downward course
with respect to elaboration and
ceremonial.
The peak of the period from
which we are unwinding was reach-ed
in 1958 when the Royals boast-ed
a royal family complete with
king, queen, and freshman sweet-heart.
Approach to this 1958 peak
was begun in 1946 when titles
which hinted of "royalty" were
awarded some deserving pair of
Bethelites. These titles were "host"
and "hostess."
Advancement toward the 1958
peak was made in 1951 when the,
elected pair attained "kingship"
and "queenship." Somewhere in
the ascending years a freshman
sweetheart was introduced to com-plete
the royal family; however,
1958 was the last year for such,
demonstrations.
1959 marked the beginning of an
"iconoclastic age," with a dethrone-,
ment of the king and the establish-ment
of a matriarchal rulership.
Within a few years of this action,
the freshman sweetheart met with
extinction, leaving a figurehead
queen as the single titled person•.
ality of the Homecoming festival.
One will note that the above
progression has been defined in
terms of "upward" and "down-ward,"
claiming for the present
period a point on the downward
scale. In some minds, however, the
labels for this progression may be
just the reverse. A de-emphasis in
the play-up of royalty being the
desired course of events.
A de-emphasis upon royalty and
ceremonial may indeed be advan-tageous
for the college as a whole.
Though not necessarily true, the
de-accent may correspond with a
greater stress on academics, intel-lectualism,
and inter-personal com-munication.
Such logic would ob-viously
place Bethel at an all-time
high in the march of progress. We
are now ascending from an era of
sentimentality, and over-play to
one of respectability and dignity in
our handling of traditional affairs.
A second trend to be noted over
the years of Homecoming celebra-tions
seems to be an increased in-tensity
and seriousness of the
weekend's focus, the theme.
Though not in an attempt to bet
critical, the theme for one Home-coming
in the late fifties era was,
"Get That Royal Feeling." Later
themes have concerned themselves

will be given in the fieldhouse at
8:00 p.m. that evening.
A landman in the Exploration
Department of Pan-American Pe-troleum
Corporation for six and a
half years, he hails from Austin,
Texas. Since 1958 he has held
higher offices in various oil cor-porations
until 1960 when he join-ed
as a partner in two small oil
exploration companies in Okla-homa
City.
Since 1963 he has been Director
with such topics as "Involvement,"
and the "Prologue of the Past,";
this year's theme deals with "Pow-er
in our many-sided Unity." Hope-fully,
we are not too near-sighted
to claim for Bethel's recent years a
greater seroiusness and thought-fulness.
Though such viewpoints may
sound highly ethnocentric and may
well be invalid, it is one similar in
nature to attitudes held by some
of the famous figures in history.
An early sociologist August Comte,
believed that his era was the cul-minating
period of history and
could only be the threshold to one
of super-enlightenment. Some con-solation
is that though Comte was
hopelessly in error, he had a lot(
of like-minded idealists caught up
with him.

They had more beef on the team
than South St. Paul, including a
255 pound center. Their running
plays showed more heart in second
efforts than Napoleon as he left
Elba. Though Bethel had a couple
flash drives, scoring opportunities
were as rare as a hymn sing on
Hennepin Avenue. The Muskie of-fense
wouldn't have left our de ,
fense a prayer if Cotton Mather
was our linebacker. The Lakeland
machine rolled up enough statis-tics
to give an IBM computer heart
burn as they scored 23 points in
the third quarter. A freshman
quarterback and end added a lone
TD in the last quarter to wind up
a 43-14 Lakeland win.
A bright spot in the season so
far has been the absence of any
serious injury. The worst accident
thus far was a twisted ankle sus-tained
by line coach Stu Luckman.
However, sources confirm that this
was due to increasing immobility
in older age.

Thursday, October 5, 1967
The 1967-68 intramural program
got off to a sudden start last Sat-urday
with only two teams for-feiting.
The two completely heter-ogeneous
teams of completely off
campus men managed to field a
team. Off Campus no. 2 beat
first floor 13-6 while Off Campus
no. 1 was defeated by Second Old
20-0. Falcon Manor and Third 014
forfeited to Second New and Third
New respectively.
On the first play from scrim,
mage, Rick Peterson tossed a pass
to brother Steve who trotted down
the field for a 75 yard touchdown
play to give O.C. no. 2 a 6-0 lead.
For the rest of the half, the ball
changed hands without any scor-ing.
Steve Peterson intercepted
three passes to keep First Floor
from getting into a scoring posi ,
tion. In the second half, it took the
second play for O.C. no. 2 to score,
once again by the Peterson duo.

The Bethel Royals bumped up
against the Lakeland football team
for one half of hard-fought, even
scoring action. The home team
came up with the first touchdown
of the game. John Carmean evaded
a couple of defenders as he caught
a Selander pass and skipped across
the goal line unmolested. Lakeland
came back to score on a 32 yard
pass play and added the extra
point to give them a 7-6 margin at
the quarter. In the second quarters
the "Muskie" halfback scampered
32 yards and kicked the extra point
to increase the margin to 14-6. Not
to be outdone, the Royal eleven
staunchly marched down the field
in a touchdown drive culminating
in a nine yard pass, Selander to
Jack Campbell. Al then dashed
across the goal line for a two point
conversion to tie the game 14 all
at half time.
As the second half began, things
looked rosy for Bethel, but Lake-
Bethel's Geigert
Breaks Record
Bethel opened its home cross
country season Saturday by plac-ing
second in a three team meet.
Hamline won the event with 28
points, followed by the Royals with
39, with St. Paul Bible College last
at 69. Bethel Frosh Bill Geigert
was the star as he placed first,
breaking the old school record for
the course as well as beating all
the Augsburg men who ran, al-though
their team score was not
kept.
Geigert's time for the 3.8 miles
was 18:45, breaking the old record.
of 18:46 set on a slightly shorter
course by Dale Rogers in 1963.
Helping Bethel to its close second
place finish were Steve Johnson in
sixth place, Rich Swanson in sev-enth,
followed by Dean Oberg,
11th, and Bruce Swanson, 14th.
With a school record already in
the books and the other runners
promising, hard work should bring
an improving season to the cross
country team.

DEDICATION, A KEY TO SPORT'S GREATNESS
Bill Geigert, freshman cross country runner, has got the
desire needed to really go places this year. Last year, he
graduated from Madison West High School, where he was
solely a football player. But instead of doing the obvious thing
and going out for football here at Bethel, Bill decided to take
up the challenge of long-distance running.
Already, with only two meets under his belt, Bill is re-sponding
in fabulous style. He has been the first man to finish
for Bethel in both meets, and won last week's meet in record
breaking time. In so doing, he beat Hamline's excellent miler,
who has run the mile in 4:15,.,
As yet, because of his lack of experience, Geigert hasn't
learned the art of pacing himself. Bill still had something left
after crossing the finish line last Saturday. Coach Trager feels
that as the experience comes, Geiger can make strides toward
future greatness.
Faithfulness to the hard work of running is Bill's biggest
asset. He runs from 15 to 20 miles a day! In fact, a week ago
Sunday night, Bill ran 18 miles to get something to eat, and
proceeded to run the full 18 miles back. I was not surprised to
hear that he has run to downtown Minneapolis and back on
occasion, also.
This is DEDICATION!
Bill Geigert is not the only athlete with this important
quality. Look at Al Selander. This boy has played slot back in
both his previous years in Bethel football, and was given the
unenviable task of being this year's starting quarterback.
His dedication to doing the very best job he can at this
new position is something Coach Shields deeply admires. And
Coach feels that Al has the potential to become an excellent
college quarterback. Also, Hamline tackle Brian Fuller has ex-pressed
great respect for the passing ability of Bethel's new
quarterback.
These two examples show what DEDICATION can do in
the field of sport.
REFLECTIONS
What's the idea of scheduling intramural games at the
same time that the varsity is playing? Don't you think our male
students can sacrifice a little sleep so that we won't have a
conflict?
Ah yes, the football game Saturday. The first half showed
to us as students the potential of our team. No qualms about it,
Bethel played well. We just plain "ran out of gas" in the third
period. The basic problem is depth; nine of our men had to
play both ways. Coach admits that this is a building year, but
he definitely is not "throwing in the towel." Better things are
coming.

extra point. First Floor's lone TD
came with less than a minute left
on a disputed play.
Second Old started their white-washing
of O.C. no. 1 on a long
punt return by Bill Lehman. Later
in the half, Dan Larson crossed
the goal line to provide a 14-0
halftime lead. Bill Lehman added
another TD in the second half.
O.C. no. 1 had only six men on the
field, and thus could not generate
a scoring thrust.
Saturday there will be another
full slate of games without a home
varsity game or McGee Trucks to
interfere. Besides needing players
for a successful I-M program, offi-cials
are needed. This is a paying
