Vol. XLIII—No. 4 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Friday, October 4, 1968 James dies in St. Paul hospital Marion James, 19, a Bethel sophomore and mem-ber of the varsity football team died Monday, Septem-ber 30, at St. Paul Ramsey Hospital. Marion collapsed during a football scrimmage September 25 and never regained consciousness, despite surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. - The football squad was practicing at McMurray Field, St. Paul, when James, who was being groomed for a starting defensive post, collapsed following a play. In response to Marion's death, Dr. Carl Lund-quist, president of Bethel College and Seminary, is-sued the following statement: "The entire campus community was saddened by the death of Marion James, a sophomore from Fosston, Minnesota. He was a representative student who exemplified many of Bethel's highest ideals. "Our campus is much poorer without him. Al-though he collapsed during football scrimmage, it is now quite apparent that this was not a football in-duced injury. It could have happened anywhere. "In piecing together for me some of his recent experiences his parents indicated a growing aware-ness of some physical problems that tended to fit into a pattern but became obvious to them only in the light of his collapse and death. "They have voiced their gratitude for the suppor-tive role played by so many of the Bethel students and teachers." Bethel students have circulated a petition request-ing that the new dormitory being erected on the Arden Hills campus be named in honor of Marion. The Bethel Choir has reactivated the Voice Scholar-ship Fund as a memorial to him. Marion accompanied the Bethel College Choir on a six-week concert tour to Europe this past summer. Marion James was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and would have become twenty years old December 20. He graduated from high school in Fosston, Minnesota in May 1967, ranking fourth in his class and enrolled at Bethel College the following September.

What's new about WBCS? Steve Lee and Charlie Kramerich, techni-cians, have, along with Kingsbeck, completely reworked the broad-casting room from wall to wall. 125 new albums are on file above the 375 available last year. Beside the new records and an experienced, ambitious s t a f f, WBCS anticipates an active advan-tage over last year in this fall's Clarion-Senate-radio approach to student service. "We want to work together in serving the students," Kingsbeck stated. "We can't effect-ively serve the students by un-healthy competition between serv-ice organizations." Clarion workers, senators and radio operators will attempt a more coordinated expression of student interest and action. The aim is coordination, not a triune organization bias. Service to the community necessitates not agree-ment under contract, but simply a mutual concern to be useful in the end result—service. Part of WBCS's part of the plan involves a more diversified and complete coverage of sports, tal-ent, interviews, news, music, poli-tical discussions and other "talk shows." "We plan to continue our pro-gram called Vocal Point," said Kingsbeck. "We'll have well-known people from town on the air and let the students participate b y phone." Leonard Sammons will di-rect Vocal Point, as well as the news, weather, and sports announc-ing for WBCS. A wide variety of music will include "classical" and "religious" (with Dave Waite in charge), folk music, Broadway musicals and "Popular music." Kingsbeck approached the deli-cate subject of musical taboos and non-taboos rather cautiously. "I don't believe in isolationism," he conceded, "but we will use discre-tion in our selections. If we hear a good sound in 'rock' we'll con-sider it." He emphasized "consid-er" to establish the understanding that he feels no obligation to play any particular piece due to its i)opularity elsewhere. WBCS operators are still devel-oping one of their newer ideas for WBCS sports coverage. They expect to initiate a keener inter-est in sports among the students by taping Bethel "away" basketball games and playing them back over the air later for those unfortun-ates unable to attend in person and those enthusiasts not satis-fied with just seeing the game. "If it seems to meet student ap-proval and support we may begin taping other sports. We'll start with basketball," Kingsbeck said. For world news and sports WBCS will be "plugging in" to KQRS, a Twin City station. WBCS also has permission to broadcast WAYL any time of the day. As far as equipment is con-cerned WBCS is not entirely up-to-date, but, as Kingsbeck maintains, "we work with what we have, and I'm sure we can produce a pro-fessional sound—a lot better than last year's." A big step in the future of WBCS involves an increase in pow-er from the present one hundred milowatts to a wattage capable of reaching the new Bethel Seminary in Arden Hills. Although still in the planning, the program would involve building a radio tower in Arden Hills, switching to FM ster-eo, purchasing a 1000-watt trans-mitter and spreading out among several studios rather than broad-casting frbrn the very crowded one in the basement of the College Building. The Clarion was awarded an All- American honor rating for the spring semester of 1968. The rating was received Tuesday, October 1. The evaluation of collegiate newspapers is a service of Associ-ated Collegiate Press at the Uni-versity of Minnesota's School of Journalism. This is the fifth semester the Clarion has achieved an All-Ameri-can rating since becoming a mem-ber of ACP in 1954. The distinction was last earned during both semes-ters of 1965-66. Publications are analyzed and rated according to classifications by ACP's critical service.

The Clarion was grouped with 29 other papers, all weeklies, put out by colleges with an enrollment of 701 to 1200 students. Entries came from all over the country, including such states as New York, Georgia, Texas, and Washington, besides nearly all the Minneorta colleges. So far five All-American ratings have been awarded in this classi-fication, including the Clarion's recognition. The critical service for the five remaining entries has not been completed. Ratings are based on a scoring system with 4000 points represent-ing the highest possible total. 3700 points are needed to achieve All- American recognition. From there, ratings run down through first, second, third, and fourth class. The Clarion's score was 3920 out of the possible 4000. This is the highest score recorded out of the twenty-five entries judged so far. The Sou'Wester of South Western College of Indiana currently ranks second with 3870 total points. The Clarion received a perfect score in regard to its news cover-age. Evaluation in this area was based on a full use of news sourc-es, treatment of copy, and creativ-ity. Content of the paper was also judged highly, with the Clarion receiving 720 out of a possible 750 points. The Clarion also received nearly perfect scores on its physical prop-erties, including layout, headlines, typography, and photography.

But Junior will not. He made his way silent-ly among us, and left si-lently enough too. Utterly unpretentious he thrust himself headlong into ev-erything, doing so always with that quiet humility which skirts anything ap-proaching drama. His life was today and tomorrow. For he gave himself to the moment without reserve yet held fast to his goal-- to teach children. To those who chose to share his world, he was sincere, to the few who could call him friend he was honest, to the handful that confided in him he gave himself carelessly. On the fly leaf of his soul was written in regular hand -- I give my-self to God. He would have flushed had we known the mea-sure of his compassion that burned within his heart. For it was this very passion that rebuked us. Junior's death is a cele-bration for he pursued Life and has now found it. He pursued it as though it had been a prey unrelent-ing -- that it might not es-cape his sight for a mo-ment. For as he sang he did so with gusto in his soul, as he prayed he did so with heat, as he played he did that too with aban-don. The beginning of a Liv-ing memory renews the soul. So I say, celebrate, with silence and with cym-bals, for we will remem-ber Junior's life. Praise be to God! Senate action by Maurice Zaffke The inertia that accompanied this years initial Senate meeting vanished as the student representa-tives met for their second session, Monday, October 1. A constitutional amendment hur-dled swiftly over the two-thirds majority needed. The proposed amendment attempts to define spe-cifically what constitutes a valid election. It states that a candidate must receive not only more votes than his opponent but that he must also receive 40 percent of the vote. In the event that no candi-date attains this requirement, the race would be decided by a run-off election with no write-ins al-. lowed. Student approval will probably be sought during the balloting to fill the vacancies in the Senate. Many modifications were made in the election code.

A battery of recommendations made by the Student Services Office concerning rebates and the current schedule of rents have been ap-proved by the Business Office. While none of them can be applauded as a clear indication that students are actually more important than dollar bil.s, most of the recommendations — with notable exceptions—must be recognized as fair, representing a reasonable compromise between student interests and the school's fin-ancial needs. However, the proposal to reimburse tempor-ary Edgren residents at the rate of two dollars weekly is not only outrageous and unjust, but it is an insult to the whole idea of a rebate. This recommendation ignores three important considerations. The rebate is intended (for Edgren's tem-porary and permanent residents) to make amends for the crowded conditions in Edgren's new wing where three men have, during the past month, shared a room intended for two. First, why has no distinction been made be-tween permanent and temporary residents when the latter must face considerably more inconvenience than permanent residents? (Both parties receive equal rebates). Men ticketed for the new campus dormi-tory have moved into Edgren, out of Edgren, into the new Seminary Apartments, and (hope-fully) in three more weeks', they will move again, this time to the new residence. In addition, the uniform rebate for tempor-ary and regular Edgrenites assumes uniform facilities for both parties in regard to living quarters. This is a fallacious assumption in that interim residents inevitably wind up sleeping on the extra cots and possessing little more than vestiges of desk and closet facilities. Second, temporary residents paid seven dol-lars weekly (subtracting the rebate) to live in Edgren while regular residents paid only five dollars. Speaking mildly, this is quite unreason-able. On what basis should interim residents be charged higher rates for the same facilities, particularly under adverse conditions? Since two different schedules of rent are involved, common sense would seem to dictate rebates equalizing charges for the same facili-ties. Students slated to live in the new dormi-tory should not have the higher rent assessed for those facilities carried over into interim housing. Thirdly, it is unethical for the college to make money off student inconvenience. The crowded conditions in Edgren were caused by delay in the completion of the Arden Hill's dormitory, and were not the responsibility of students. Despite the rebate, the college, however, re-ceived more income from Edgren during the time it was utilized as interim housing than when it is operated under normal circumstanc-es. It is only fair to request a rebate large enough to cover the difference between the combined rents of three occupants compared to the total for the usual two inhabitants. One justification for securing higher reve-nue from overcrowded rooms centered on the perennial situation in Bodien where several rooms house extra women. While the rent is reduced in these cases, it is not lowered pro-portionately. This situation, which raises some questions of its own, was pointed out when similar con-ditions were created in Edgren this fall, and one inequity was used to justify another. Stu-dents, however, do not believe that two wrongs make a right. In view of these three points, nothing less than a five dollar rebate for temporary resi-dents can be defended. The other rebate deci-sions, while not heartwarm and, in the case of regular Edgrenites, minimal, are reasonably fair. Page 2 the CLARION Friday, October 4, 1968 College housing rebates . . . and rents In addition to rebate decisions, the Student Services' rec-ommendation that rent charges be left at the announced sched-ules for this year was also approved by the Business Office. While the Business Office's approval surprises no one, the rec-ommendation by Student Services is very disappointing to students. While the unfair rebate decision affected only seventy or eighty men (and about thirty or so temporary residents most directly), the above rent decision affects all new dormitory residents. Even more important than the segment of the stu-dent body directly concerned are the somewhat disturbing im-plications for the student body as a whole. A previous editorial delineated the factors causing student inconvenience in living on the new campus and commuting to the present campus, and weighed this against the better fa-cilities of the new dormitory. This discussion built a strong argument for uniform rents on both campuses, and the case for uniform rent was strengthened by the implications arising from the half million dollar gift which made construction pos-sible. This argument need not be reiterated. Another consideration, which seems to have been lost in the confusion, should be noted, however. The different rent schedules were not announced. Students applied for housing last spring assuming uniform rent. If there is to be a difference, it is unfair not to announce it in advance; since this was not done, this fact should be a consideration in the re-evaluation of the rent situation. As it turned out, the majority of students assigned to new campus housing did not end up there by first choice. However, they are tagged with higher rent in addition to winding up with their second or third choice of housing. Some officials have indicated that "extra services" will be provided as compensation for these students. They have yet to demonstrate what and how much, and, if past actions this fall are a reliable indication of what is yet to come, students will be understandably pessimistic. Again, the question has been asked by some officials, "How do you set a price on inconvenience?" We agree that this may be difficult, but do not believe it is an excuse for shirking the responsibility of making equitable adjustments to incon-venienced parties. A student enters into a type of contract with the college for housing. If he does not fulfil the terms of this contract and choses to live elsewhere after committing himself to col-lege housing, he forfeits his room deposit. If he cancels out of college housing during the year, he does not receive a propor-tional reimbursement. We feel that this contract is not a unilateral one. Perhaps those who--are most intimately involved in decision making at this point have lost sight of the not-so-minor point that the college is the party which has not fulfilled the terms of this contract in the case of the new dormitory. As students, we feel that such carelessness is not excusable. LETTING- THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY . . . and students The recent decisions involving rent and rebate questions do not enhance the images of either the Business Office or Student Services Office in student eyes. Perhaps the most immediate implication of these decisions concerns administrative promises to grant a rebate in compen-sation for living in a partially completed building later this fall, when new dorm occupancy is a reality. Such words have a somewhat hollow ring to students whose confidence in these offices has been undermined. Further implications seem even more threatening from both student and administrative perspectives. The failure to meet legitimate student requests phrased in a responsible and intelligent way with an appropriate response can be nothing but detrimental to student-administration interaction. Of course, the rent issue does not rest solely with new dormitory residents. There has always been some overcrowd-ing in Bodien without adequate compensation to those involved. The rent for Falcon Manor is far from fair when its facilities cont'd on page 3 ZE,f4VE71 Ed. Note: This independent column is prepared by an editorial board currently composed of four Bethel alumni: Malcolm Avey. Jim Brand, Al Brown, and Rich Runbeck. How much obedience does a man owe his state? Or per-haps to put the question in contemporary language, what does a man owe his country? Absolute unquestioning obedience? Obedience tempored by critical questioning? Strict obedience in some measures and nominal obedience in others? Can it ever be possible that a man owes to his state to be disobedient (i.e. civil dis-obedience)? These are questions which rack the minds of many today. In particular the questions of obedience in activities of war seem to cause much confusion. Christians have historically claimed to be special people. Maybe then the question for Bethelites should be, "How much obedience does a Christian owe his state?" Different Christian groups historically have had varied answers. The Roman Catholic Church as an institution in Europe once had so much power that in many respects it was the state. Canon (church) law had pre-eminence over local (state) law in many areas and ways. As the Catholic Church began to lose power to the state, conflicts developed. The church often fought this change of jurisdiction, nor were its motives always selfish. Sometimes it condemned a state because of its alleged wrongful activities. As a result there is a strong background of potential opposition to state power in the Catholic Church. It is probably more than coincidence that the central fig-ure in the challenge to America's Vietnam war policies is Sen. McCarthy, a Catholic who once studied for the priesthood. When one turns to Protestant history and doctrine, he finds a mixture of belief. The Mennonites and Anabaptists, sometimes viewed as "fringe" Protestant movements of the 16th century, maintained (and still do) an ambivalent attitude toward the state. They would obey in some things, but in others which they felt contradicted their Christian conscience (such as war), they refused. They found themselves persecuted by both Catholics and other Protestants for their position. The "main line" Protestants, Lutherans and Calvinists, however, seem to have identified very heavily with state power. Like the Catholics their motives were mixed. Being very ardent Biblicists, they siezed upon individual verses and passages, such as Romans 13, to demonstrate God's demand for strict obedience. Some Lutheran and Calvinist princes and rulers, however, used this doctrine to justify non-compliance with Catholic directives. As long as they could claim that their state's powers des-cended from God, they did not need to heed the pope or any other prince or ruler. The "divine right of kings" doctrine got a big boost from Protestant doctrine on the state. All this history might seem irrelevant except that many Christians behave today toward their state in ways proscribed by these doctrines. This is particularly dangerous for the "main line" Protestants. The pressure of modern experience with state power weighs very heavily on the conscience. One doubts that a Christian who was put in charge of the gas chambers in a Nazi extermination camp could long praise God at the end of each day. In fact it might seem that this man stands condemned by Romans 13:9 and 10 which describes love as the supreme commandment and says "love worketh no ill to his neighbor." Modern states since the close of WW II have collected even more potentially horrible weaponry and destructive plans than the Nazi's. Everything from ICBM's with multiple explosive heads to the use of Bubonic plague spread by saboteurs is advo-cated as potential war procedure. And it's not just the "Bad guys" in the "communist" world who are doing research in these techniques. The U.S. leads in much of this research. It is time for Christians to re-evaluate adherence to and use of state power. J.B. Friday, October 4, 1968 the CLARION Page 3 Dean Olson challenges small college The real issue confronting the small college in the big world is survival! . . "the typical Protes-tant college . . . has little to of-fer that public colleges do not of-fer at a lower price, except small-ness, protectiveness, and some-times piety.- . I do not discount the vital role the church-related colleges play in the educational future of America. The reason I have ac-cepted this position of the vice presidency and deanship of Bethel College is . . . that I am here with just as deep a commitment to the distinctive mission which I believe the Christian liberal arts colleges have to American education. I see no dichotomy between my Christian, theological perspective, my Biblical worldview and the finest and the highest in liberal arts education. If liberal arts edu-cation is the appropriating and understanding of the total life of man and his environment . . . the Christian view is not something over, under or alongside of. but it is that integrative soul. Ed. note : These excerpts are from Dr. Olson's inaugural ad-dress, given during academic convocation Tuesday, October 1. I am not certain how long a small college like Bethel can sur-vive and truly be prophetic. The patronage function squelches the prophetic function. .. Small pri-vate colleges, except a few, cannot enjoy financial independence. Too often the prophetic voice of the college is muted to woo the concerned constituency, which usually asks for the healing of existing insecurities, than to create greater anxieties by exposing, cru-sading, contending for ideas, con-cepts and causes that are less than popular to the materially afflueni and the spiritually serene. Instead of blowing the prophet's trumpet to the secular world and crying "Hear ye, Hear ye," we toot our tin, toy horns that may irritate the sensitivities of the select, par-ticularly in the institutional church. But this noise in the solemn as-semblies is scarcely heeded on the The acceleration in the velocity of history, the rapidity and the rate of social change means that inherited ideas, structured iner-rancies of faith and practice and institutional forms and patterns live in constant jeopardy of obso-lescence. The older generation, which adopts the pattern and supports, the position of Bethel, lived in a day when change was a spectacu-lar innovation. Time was given for adjustment to each. New rents set Recommendations prepared by the Student Services Office con-cerning the present schedule of rents and the question of rebates for students affected by temporary housing were approved early this week by the Business Office. Rebates on rent charges were granted to all students affected by interim housing. The decision was made, however, not to change the current schedule of rents for any college housing. Meal ticket alterations were enacted for resi-dents of the new campus dormi-tory. Students living in non-Bethel fa-cilities, excluding the fairground units, will receive a rebate of $9.00 per week from September 5 to the time they move into the new dorm. Women students living in the fairground units will be granted a rebate of $2.00 per week until the new housing is available. This means they will pay $7.00 per week for the motel which equals expense incurred by the college for each occupant. Men temporarily living in Ed-gren and permanent Edgren resi-dents who have had an extra per-son living in their rooms are sla-ted to receive a $2.00 rebate per week. Adjustments in the meal proce-dure allow students living in the new dorm a refund for breakfasts. The special meal ticket policy per-mits the student to eat any two meals he chooses in either the coffee shop or the cafeteria. Rebates will be given after stu-dents move into their new hous-ing, when it will be possible to de-termine the exact amount to be refunded. The amount of compen-sation students are entitled to for living in a partially completed building is now under considera-tion and will be set when the building is occupied. other side of the ecclesiastical moat. .. We dare not remove the dy-namism of the Gospel to a con-trolled conservatory where time stands still, where there are no contradictions, where pious phras-es only have meaning in some Bib-lical anagram game. . . . We must take seriously the cost of this dis-cipleship. If students are intro-duced to the vital dimensions of human involvement, it is hoped that increasingly they would be a part of the prophetic perspective. Another characteristic of the pro-phetic function is that of courage. I have usually interpreted the words of Jesus, "If the world hates you, know that it hated me," to refer to that big, bad secular world, full of thieves and murderers. But when I read the gospel record I find the prostitutes, outcasts, po-litical revolutionaries, politicians, But now our young people are bombarded by instantaneous change that threatens their very personal identity. Communication is no longer in logical sequence, including time and distance, but now it is simultaneous and collec-tive, it "involves all of us all at once." It is easy for the church to think of its college as a fortress, a place which will protect young people from the threatening changes tak-ing place, as seen so vividly on the large universities. The delicate balance between the ideas that are acceptable and those that are questionable is in-creasingly being threatened. The risks of misunderstanding, aliena-tion and perhaps a college collapse are real. Therefore let me suggest a cri-teria for relationship: One, the college ought to remain true to the Christian faith that makes it distinctive. I'm referring to the faith that fights, weeps, consoles, thinks, struggles, overcomes. I feel the college can make a contribu-tion to the church by explicating a secular theology. The churches should be able to commend or criticize t h e college without the spirit of pa-ternalism, and the college should be able to be free to experiment and test the patterns and preach-ment of the church establishment without the spirit of arrogance or irresponsibility. soldiers, poor people, children re-ceived the Saviour. The tragedy was that the reli-gious establishment did not re-ceive him. I'm not so sure that the secular world is going to hate the Christian for truly being pro-phetic. It very likely will be the religious regiments that are afraid of anyone breaking step. The third characteristic for the performance of the prophetic func-tion in freedom. I am not even concerned about the freedom from outward servility. Many of the Old Testament prophets were impris-oned and bound, but still were free prophets. This release comes only 'because the person has met that one who was sent "to proclaim release to the captives . . . to set at liberty those who are oppressed." . . . A major characteristic of the prophetic function is faith. A pro-phet who has no hope, sees no "city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God," is a "prof," to be sure, but he has no "it." He is broken in the middle. This prophetic function may seem like a dream, dangerous and delirious to some, but to others it will be a way, a venture, a meaningful existence of bearing the cross of Christ. Without the ideal of the prophe-tic function it seems that a Chris-tian liberal arts college does not rise much higher than the charac-terization made by Robert Hutch-ins who defined the university as a group of buildings and schools that share a common heating plant. apostolic action To be a part of a community of scholars committed to the Chris-tian world-view which I have set before you means that education must be expressed in demonstra-tion. If Bethel can place the soul in the life of liberal arts educa-tion, then it seems that many of the graduates ought to be motiva-ted not only to speak to the ills of the world but also to give healing to the hurts of the world. To participate in the mission of Christ, to be a part of his apos-tolate ought to be the most chal-lenging option of our day. Un-fortunately the apostolate has of-ten been associated with societies, special organized projects spon-sored by institutional churches. While not trying to be presump-tuous, I still believe the ultimate secret for the survival of a col-lege like Bethel is its belief, its commitment to that same God who is our mighty fortress in the midst of this big world. opening challenge .. . the college's prophetic function ... churchly function Students face unfair decisions from page 2 are compared to other college owned manors and it is certainly far from being competitive on the open market. This week's decisions indicate that student interests are not given adequate consideration. And students could well ask why no student representative was allowed to represent, first hand, their own interests in the decision making process. This is not a request for student made decisions; it is, however, a very legitimate request for active student participation in de-cisions which directly concern students. What student response to the recent decisions will involve remains to be seen. If the college's goal of producing young men and women capable of realizing their "unique and sacred potentialities," of making their "own best contribution to so-ciety," of developing a "discriminating awareness of and con-cern for Christian motives," (page 8 of the Bethel College Cata-log), if this goal is being reached, the kind of students present at Bethel will respond with a plea for greater autonomy in areas that will help prepare them better for the outside world. But if students continue to sit passively in the face of token responses to legitimate requests, responses which are more of an insult to student "pretentiousness" in daring to question a decision than an acknowledgement of student ex-pression, than the goal of an evangelical task force capable of penetrating society is little more than an idle dream. • 4;;W° -,4", „441400,410 ...e•Vs0.41 Ast‘r • 4,, • •••` .••• • •••• ,•.•,I,t•VNW■••:X,r.X.*.a•e~ga ga'a'AMW Page 4 the CLARION Friday, October 4, 1968 Bethel Center: end or beginning? The Social Ministries Committee of the Minnesota Baptist Confer-ence recommends that Bethel Christian Center cease operation. Urban Redevelopment gave the committee the options of either improving the Center substantial-ly or discontinuing it. T h e costs of improvement ranged from $20,000 to $40,000. The monetary value of the Cen-ter approximates $15,000. Therefore approximately $50,000 would be involved in rehabilitation. From the perspective of communi-ty developments such expenditures seemed unwise to the Committee. The Seward community, in which the Center exists, receives the service of Pillsbury-Waite Neighborhood Services. In the process of area renewal an ade-quate community center is being established through the joint co-operation of the Minneapolis Park Board, the Minneapolis Board of Education, and Pillsbury House. This facility will be constructed in the immediate area of the Cen-ter. Continuation of this Baptist organization for multiple purpose urban outreach would mean both competition and costly duplication of community service efforts. Another negative feature be-comes apparent in a study of area geography. The community will soon be locked in by freeways on Having spent the first eighteen years of my life in a small rural community, I probably experienced as much culture shock during my summer in the Inner-City of Min-neapolis as any of my Student Missionary friends who traveled abroad. I gave the name "Urban-ity" to the life I expected to face —cold, impersonal neighbors, rat-infested homes, exhaust-polluted air and noise. But mine was a typical neighbor-hood. The closest thing I saw to a rat-infested house was one eve-ning when a wary looking gray mouse peeked out at me from be-neath my own stove. Perhaps the income of the aver-age member of the community was a bit below the average for the city, but the people were of vari-ous types. There were good Chris-tian families, the typical American Church-goers, the Sunday morning sleepers, and those with a criminal two sides, railroad tracks on a third, and the Mississippi River on the fourth side. Because of the competitive fa-cilities and the geographic ina-bility to attract people from adja-cent areas, the Social Ministries Committee felt compelled to rec-ommend that the program be aban-doned. On October 3-5 the Annual Meet-ing of the Minnesota Baptist CQn-ference will be held in Duluth. The Committee will make their recommendation then. It is expected that the passing of this resolution will be routine. In fact, Rev. Westby, full-time di-rector of the Center, already is formulating plans to transfer the Sunday School to Bethlehem Bap-tist Church by January and the club program by the following spring. When Bethel Center dissolves a colorful chapter in the history of the Baptist Church will end. Ini-tially in 1907 the Bethel Church almost faced extinction in the face of a lack of building funds. Involved in the foreign mission program and the creation of a Christian community, the Bethel Church soon found itself swallowed by the jaws of the Big City. Then they experienced neighborhood de-terioration and now urban renewal. From a rural church to a labora-record. I got to know all of the people in the neighborhood — from the lonely five year old to the local prostitutes to dynamic Christian teenagers. All were my friends. These friends were not so much living in financial poverty as they were living in emotional and spir-itual poverty. The real joy of life comes when we stop telling people about love and begin to show it. It does no good to slap the fingers of a drunk-en teenager and say, "naughty, naughty." I cannot expect to ap-pease my conscience by sending someone else across the sea. Christianity has become a 24- hour a day way of life. The real exhilaration and joy cannot be related except between those who have known the same situation. My opinion of the city has changed. "Urbanity" may be cold, impersonal neighbors but they are tory in urban outreach, the Church has existed. Now in the renewal, it must die. With it goes the only Minnesota Conference supported urban program. The relevant question now is, how will the Baptist movement reach the urban area? impersonal only as long as we are unwilling to go to them. "Urbanity" may be rat-infested housing but what are we doing in our comforta, bly padded pews if this is the case? "Urbanity" is noise, but look be-yond the general hub-bub to the questions of the individual. Urban-ity is the individual. No where do we have the opportunity to con-front more people than in the city. Ip Joel we read . . . "Your old men shall dream dreams, and your sons and your daughters shall pro-phesy, and your young men shall see visions. . ." I'm anxious that the young men and women of Bethel College will catch the vision of the city that needs Christ. It means laughing at yourself, sharing your very soul with others, loving people you may have a diffi-culty in liking. It also means walk-ing every step of the way with Jesus Christ. It's Christianity in action. How about it? Who gets this sign? summer of 1968 when the basic theme was "God's Love Conquers the World." Participation in a Day Camp situation added a new dimension to the summer program at Beth-el Christian Center. Bethel Center participates with five conference churches in Camp Oh'Beco, located on Ham Lake north of Minneapolis. This week provides the Bethel Center kids with an opportunity to get to know youngsters from other backgrounds as well as to have some fun in the out-of-doors. For teen-age boys in the Bethel Center area the highlight of the summer comes in August when Dick takes them on a canoe trip in Northern Minnesota for a week. This week provides op-portunities for discussion and dialogue with boys who seldom think about God and Salvation. In the winter of 1967 a Sunday service was started at Bethel Center. This program begins with an opening session. Dick Westby leads and the group then breaks up into separate Sunday School classes for most ages. Much formal contact is made by Rev. Westby through casual meetings on the streets, the school playground and in the homes. Many opportunities are opened through these contacts to be living models of Jesus Christ. Bethel Center does not minister in the normal way a church does but tries to deal with people where they are. Who makes windows? A curtain falls .. . Center faces closing Bethel Christian Center started its existence in a building formerly known as the Bethel Bap-tist Church, which began as an offshoot of Beth-lehem Baptist, located in downtown Minneapolis. The original community, largely Swedish in background, was rural in 'nature. Pasture lands surrounded the original church building which was erected in 1896 and was replaced by the pres-ent brick building in 1907. Throughout the years many well known men and women began their careers in Bethel Baptist. Rev. K. J. Carlson added much stability to Bethel Baptist during his years of service there. Bethel Baptist also added to the Christian en-deavor on a broader scale by giving Rev. and Mrs. Charles Merchant for missionary service in Assam. As the years went by the community surround-ing. Bethel Baptist changed. The Swedish people became a minority and finally became almost extinct. With the disintegration of church membership in the neighborhood Bethel Baptist lost much of its leadership and financial backing. In 1961 the situation became critical and the daughter church, Bethel Baptist, went back to Bethlehem Baptist. For several years Bethlehem Baptist people attempted to keep a program going at Bethel Church. The program mainly consisted of different interest clubs such as leatherwork, sewing, and cooking. After two years of working Bethlehem Baptist encountered a critical situation in regard to work-ers and had to give up the work. The Minnesota Baptist Conference took over possession of old Bethel Baptist for one dollar. For the first years the work was carried on by part-time directors. This method proved to be unsatisfactory and in October of 1966 Rev. Dick Westby came as the first full-time director of Bethel Christian Center. Since coming to Bethel Center, Rev. Westby, or Dick as he is known to the area, has added to existing programs and started severel new pro-grams. A club program which covered youth in grades three through nine started with leadership from Bethel College. These clubs place college-age youth, who come from a middle-class orientated church and social background, in contact with kids who come from lower-middle and upper-lower social classes and from limited church backgrounds. The learning process occurs on both sides in this type of re-lationship. During the summer a Daily Vacation Bible School adds an opportunity for the kids in the neighborhood to come into contact with the Gos-pel of Jesus Christ in a more formal and structur-ed manner than is usually associated with Bethel Center. Westby trys to instill action and relevance to the VBS program. For example, consider the Center stimulates cultural shock by Val Peterson Closed?

But this has provided tremendous opportunities for con-tinental and foreign travel. Even though our country is great for rapid traveling, it often lacks this free spirit of traveling which students have rejuvenated in many foreign countries. The popularity of student travel and mobility has inspired this weekly column. Many Bethel students are "Campus Vaga-bonds" with their varied experiences of living and traveling abroad.

It is in the city that the Church is going to be facing its greatest challenge in the coming years. During my summer at Bethel Christian Center in Minneapolis I learned a little more about the urban situation. It was not the most optimistic time that I have ever had in my life. In fact, at times I was very de-pressed with the apparent lack of effect upon the kids with whom I had contact. Most particularly, the teenagers tried to keep as much distance as possible between them-selves and a stranger in the neigh-borhood. It took almost the entire ten weeks that I spent in the Seward Community before I was able to break down the barriers between A new look is shaping the Coffee Shop, making it more accessible to Bethel's community. Accommodation has always been a problem. This year one section which formerly was isolated by a divider has been remade into the Royal Room. New tables and chairs fill this wing, which is enclosed by white ironwork fencing. On the wall the words "Bethel Royals" surround a gold lion's face. Remodeling emphasizes one of the major aims of the Coffee Shop —to provide a more suitable place for socializing. It's not necessarily us. They needed to have time to look me over and to see if I was worthy of trust. Exposure to me was the most important during the early part of the summer. After they were sure that I was all right they began to talk with me. This last point may be the most important one that I discovered this summer. One must not push to be accepted as a member of the "IN" crowd because you never will be a true member. We can only sit around and show that we are concerned and that we won't shove religion down anybody's throat. We must just show love and concern, and hope that they will be able to realize what is meant when it is stated that God is love. This is especially necessary since not many of the kids have ever experienced love. They need direction in how to love and be oved. a hang-out for the hungry. Tables may be reserved for groups or committee meetings during serv-ing hours or at night. Often peo-ple come there just to unwind their minds or relax their nerves. Convenience has been a sore-spot in the Coffee Shop's kitchen. The time required for dishwashing didn't allow for efficient service. Consequently there has been a change to paper and plastic dish-es. The renovations in decor and dishes have helped the Coffee Shop to serve Bethelites better. In response to the vacuum in Baptist urban relations, a social action committee, Students for Ur-ban Involvement, has been formed. Students for Urban Involvement intends to be an innovative group dedicated to experimentation in Christian outreach to various ur-ban groups. It hopes to develop within the Minnesota Conference new atti-tudes toward Christian social ac-tion. Another objective concerns the preparations of the Bethel com-munity for the enrollment of ur-ban minority groups. The committee basically agrees with the decision to discontinue the Bethel Center as such. How-ever it opposes withdrawal from the Seward area. If Bethel Center cannot function in that area, Students for Urban Involvement contends that the re-structuring of involvement, not re-treat, constitutes the proper re-sponse. Initiation of this action involves Maurice Zaffke, Arnie Bergstrom and Larry Day. Other organizers include Tom Mesaros and Lynn Bergfalk. by Marjorie Rusche With the school year barely start-ed, the cafeteria has already be-come a focal point of concern for many students. Comments about the quality of the food and effici-ency of the food service are num-erous. This article will explore the operatory of the cafeteria. Administration of the cafeteria is done by Mrs. Johnson, food ser-vice manager, and Wayne Erickson, administrative assistant. In an in-terview, they delineated the joint set-up of the cafeteria. "Our biggest problem with the food service right now is finding enough people to work at noon, particularly Monday, T u e s d a y, Wednesday and Friday," they said. "The evening and breakfast meals are pretty well covered. "When we get more workers, we hope to open up a second line to ease the situation of long waits in line. One fellow came to us and reported standing in line for 45 minutes. We want to try and prevent this type of thing. We en-joy hearing all comments about the food service," they concluded. Another important aspect of the cafeteria 'involves the financial end. Mr. Walters in the Business office stated, "The cafeteria has a budget of $235,000. Students con-tribute all but $15,000 to this." Salaries of non-student food work-ers were a confidential matter. Student wages are $1.30 per hour. Forty-five per cent Of the total cafeteria budget is spent for food. The majority of the budget is used in salaries and fringe benefits, in- WHAT'S NEW 5 Colored Slides of Bethel's Campus— $1.00 Be ihel Boalasioite Coffee shop caters to patrons surance, wages, utilities, equip-ment, maintenance, etc. Walters predicted that inflationary trends, increasing food costs, and rising wages would precipitate a rise in food costs for the college next year, and that part or all of this raise would be passed on to the students. Random interviews with student cafeteria workers provided some interesting insights into food ser-vice. One worker was fuming be-cause Bethelites weren't stacking their trays correctly. Since only one person can clear trays, time and money are saved if students stack their trays the way they're supposed to. Another worker was so physically exhausted after two hours of working (only two people were working at a particular job which required four) that she broke down in tears when she reached her room. So students—have patience with the cafeteria food service. They really are trying to provide ade-quate nourishment for the Bethel community.

Page 6 the CLARION Mr. James Bragg joined Bethel this year as Assistant Dean of Stu- ' dents. Actually he will be spend-ing half his time with financial aid and half with recruitment. Last April during an interview President Lundquist discovered that Bragg had been involved in a program of minority recruitment at Aurora College in Illinois. In-terested in the progress of his campaign, the President asked him to lead Bethel in a similar pro-gram to recruit Inner City Blacks. "Bethel definitely has a respon-sibility with the Black community," Bragg stated. "We will do some-thing, but maybe we need work done here first." On October 7, Bragg; along with representatives from other colle-ges, will attend a session on "Pro-grams for Disadvantaged Stu-dents." The interaction within the group will allow him to perceive the current attitudes of other col-leges. Radio station from page 1 However, an increase in power creates listeners outside the Beth-el community, and this spontan-eously produces a greater responsi-bility for WBCS. Kingsbeck warned, "it would be easy to inno-cently create a harmful situation —I mean harmful to Bethel's repu-tation. "We want to work with adminis-tration, but I don't presently fore-see any major organizational chan-ges." He expects to begin broad-casting FM stereo the summer be-fore the college begins classes in Arden Hills. Kingsbeck pointed out that the studio presently owns three tape decks, three professional turn ta-bles, a table for 45 RPM records and another in the recording room; eight preamplifiers for strengthen-ing the sound directly from the turn table, three monitor ampli-fiers, two program amplifiers, and one large power amplifier for broadcasting directly up to the Coffee Shop; and eight older, aux-iliary amplifiers to supplement when needed. "We also have an open p.o. for suggestions (box 2044) and will al-ways seek improvement," Kings-beck assured. Monday, opening night, he extends a general invi-tation (with punch and donuts) for anyone interested in visiting the studio below the Coffee Shop. Friday, October 4, 1968 Bethel's Faculty and Student Committee on Minority Groups al-ready has met twice, and plans are underway for tapping campus opinion. Questionaires relating to students' feelings will be circula-ted, and results will be tallied by the middle of October. On the basis of Bragg's former experience with minority recruit-ing, the data of other campuses' reactions, and the position the poll determines, Bethel will know what course of action to pursue. Bragg admitted, "The Blacks will have to adjust to us, but we will have more difficulty adjusting to them." There will be stress on both sides. First the problems and re-sponsibilities for accommodation must be identified. General atti-tudes, financing, and academic needs are a few issues that need to be probed. Full membership in the Bethel community would en-tail equal responsibilities and rights. What reaction would Beth-elites have to the dating aspect, which has appeared as a problem in other colleges? Bragg has contacts with high school counselors, members of the "Upward Bound" program, and . Black missions from his work with-in the Chicago area. At Bethel he will also work with Minnesota high school counselors and the Confer-ence and its missions. "There's no problem getting Black students. The problem will be in our screening, finding those Bethel can accept and serve," Bragg sighted. In other colleges the Blacks' pat-tern has been consistent. One or two won't stay. Either they will leave or else will come in a group. At Aurora College Bragg said they started with three or four Blacks, but within five years they were eighty or ninety. Under a careful-ly instituted program the percent-age will rise tremendously. From an informal census in which members of the Bethel com-munity have committed themselves in conversation, it appears that Bethelites realize that something must be done. The test now is if the earnest concern extends to the extent of advancing openly tow-ards minority recruitment. Christ The Tiger By Tom.

Replacing Bethel's former libra-rian, Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom, is Mrs. Carlyle Dewey of Minnea-polis, who has had several years experience in college libraries. The young mother of a two-year-old daughter, Mrs. (Margaret) Dew-ey graduated from Northwestern College and received her master of arts degree in library science from the University of Minneso-ta. Mrs. Dewey said that having the same last name as the famous American librarian who originated the Dewey Decimal System did not influence her interest in a library career. In fact, it was while she was working on her masters degree that she met Dewey (her hus-band), who is an instructor of poli-tical science at Augsburg College. In answer to inevitable com-ments about her "appropriate" name, Mrs. Dewey simply main-tains that "it would be a shame to change to the Library of Con-gress classification of books!" During graduate school and two years afterwards Mrs. Dewey was assistant librarian at Northwestern. She also worked in the University of Missouri library while her hus-band was in graduate school there. When she was director of instruc-tional resources at the St. Louis (Mo.) Junior College library, she worked closely with architects on plans for a new library on that campus. Thus, Mrs. Dewey is looking for-ward to conferences with the ar-chitects for organizing the library area of the new campus. Besides more spacious study and book stack areas, she also anticipates at least four or five conference rooms for student use and at least one typing room, with several type-writers provided, in the new cam-pus library. With the new librarian occupy-ing the office just south of the check-out desk, the former librar-ian's office at the southeast cor-ner of the library mezzanine has been set aside this year as a conference room. The area is to be used on a first-come-first-served basis and will be convenient for Student senate from page 2 clarification or else the correction of mistaken wording or order. NSA student discount cards will again be sought. NSA provides an employment service for college seniors and a record club with a low membership fee and without minimum purchase regulations. Materials such as these are avail-able to interested students. Here in the Bethel community the Senate desires to have the Cof-fee Shop opened at 11:10 a.m. and to have the same area available to students until 12 midnight. Leonard Sammons, senior sena-tor, submitted his resignation. It will be effective October 14. Sam-mons will continue at his post as Election Board Chairman. Although most of the work was routine, the Senate handled itself with the dispatch and personal re-straint that student associations should be able to expect. students working on group projects or persons who wish to use their own typewriters in the library, ac-cording to Mrs. Dewey. Another project embarked upon this year is that of a central col-lection of audio-visual equipment in the library to be checked out by instructors in the various de-partments. Added to the library's 50,000 vol-umes and more than 400 magazine subscriptions this year is a col-lection of catalogues of all major graduate schools. The rack of cata-logues is to be placed near the pamphlet file, Mrs. Dewey said. Library hours have been extend-ed this year to 10:30 p.m. daily, in line with the extension of resi-dence hall hours. No major policies or library procedures have been changed this year, Mrs. Dewey said. She noted that in the evenings the li-brary is generally filled to capa-city and is "just not big enough," although librarians attempt to keep a proper study atmosphere. A $25,000 budget provision for . Since September 23, the Junior Varsity football team has played two games, tying their first game and losing the second. In the first, they met the Still-water State Prison football team at Stillwater. The inmates had a definite weight advantage, however the Royals were a 'bit speedier and in better physical condition. The score of the . contest was 6-6. Good fortune rested with the Royals as another Stillwater touchdown was called back because of a penalty. In the third period, Bethel re-covered a Stillwater fumble deep in the opponents territory, and, af-ter a short drive, Ric Bakstrom drove off tackle for the score. The extra point attempt didn't even get off the ground as a well-timed safety blitz stopped the action com-pletely. On Monday of this week, the Junior Varsity played the varsity team from Golden Valley Lutheran Junior College. After having been beaten by Stillwater two weeks the library this year is about $9,- 000 more than last year, but still not an exceeding amount consider-ing the rising prices of reading materials, Mrs. Dewey said. Bethel's library has several other new faces and positions this year in addition to about 25 student library employees. James Sheldon, who was former-ly music librarian, this year is in charge of technical services. Mrs. Helen Doble is new to the library staff and is Sheldon's full-time as-sistant. Mrs. Art Lewis, who is also a part-time instrumental music in-structor at Bethel, has accepted the position of music ,librarian. Miss Mary Leimberer has re-turned as head of circulation and Mrs. Joan Lethert is order clerk. With Mrs. Dewey as full-time li-brarian, Miss Carol Christensen, assistant, devotes almost full time to her position as readers' advisor.

Golden Valley went out in front in the first quarter with two quick scores for a 14-0 lead. Then, in the second quarter, the Royals put on a good rush and blocked a punt attempt by Golden Valley from their own end zone. After a scramble, Jim Johnson recovered the ball within Golden Valley's end zone to close the gap with a 14-6 score. Golden Valley scored again to bring the half-time total to 21-6 in their favor. Each team scored again in the third period. For Bethel, Bob Olsen crashed over from the seven yard-line, ter-minating a long Royal drive that began near midfield. The extra point attempt 'by Cal Harfst was good, and the final score stood at 28-13, for Golden Valley.

This time they were tamed by Northland 21-7. Though the final spread was 14 points, the score did not portray the actual closeness of the game. Winless in their previous attempts, the Royals showed determination as they took the field. Following a hard week of practice there was hunger for a victory. In the end, however, the result was the same. Bethel was faced again with the fact that winning is not easy when seven points is the limit in their scoring. Fans for the first time this sea-son were given something to cheer about despite the loss. Until the final stanza the two teams were deadlocked 7-7. It was anyone's guess who would finally end up the victor. The Royals appeared to have the better team and were outplaying Northland. But it was the last punch that carried the Lumberjacks to victory. Final statistics showed Bethel with an amazing 240 total yards. This was more than the first three games put together. Bethel led in net yards gained in rushing 133 yards to 86 for Northland. However, Northland led in pass-ing with a total of 114 yards to 107, though having but six com-pletions. Al Selander passed for 12 completions in 25 attempts, go-ing for 97 yards in the air. Three of his passes, however, were inter-cepted by Northland, one account-ing for a touchdown.

However the Royals held a definite edge over Northland in first downs. They had a 15 to 8 edge with 9 coming by rushing. The game opened under condi-tions quite the opposite from last week's slush. Passing for a first down, Bethel began a quick drive. It was shortlived though, bringing Swedberg in to punt. A 51-yard punt into the end zone marked the beginning of an-other excellent punting day. To-taling seven for the day, Fred av-eraged 42.7 yards per kick, keep-ing his season average near the 40-yard mark. Following an exchange of punts, the Royals again charged. Launch-ing their drive from the 35-yard line of Northland, three first downs left them first and goal on the 3. Here was Bethel's opportunity for the first lead of the season. Fans sat anxiously, anticipating a plunge into the end zone. But the play was to have a cooling ef-fect as a pass went astray, landing in an opponent's hands. The result —a 100 yard run back by Sam Komp, and Northland led 7-0. Not to be outdone, the Royals stomped back for another drive. Again it was killed. Northland, tak-ing over on their own 13, drove to the 35 of Bethel and a first down. With fourth down and four yards, they went for a first down but Tom Swanson dumped quarterback Mark Willman for a ten yard loss. In the closing minutes of the half Bethel began a drive from the 41 of Northland. Defensive pass interference brought a first down on the 28. On third down a pass Coach Glader is pleased with his men's performances. "We have what is perhaps the best cross coutry team we've ever had at Bethel," he said. Unfortunately, however, improved quality is not limited to the Bethel team. As Glader immediately added, "Ev-eryone else is getting better, too." The cross country team resumes competition today when they run against River Falls (Wisconsin) at 4 p.m. at the Como Course. Their next meet will be on Saturday when they travel to St. Peter, Min-nesota to compete against host Gustavus Adolphus, St. Thomas College, and. Southwestern Junior College. by Wally Borner Saturday, September 28, brought a big surprise to the intramural sports scene. The faculty, who in the past have occasionally acquired the nick-name Faulty Faculty, fielded an eight man team, and then to surprise everyone further, they won. Third New was the unfortunate victim of faculty wrath as they lost by a. narrow 13-12 margin. Jack "Scrambler" Trager ran over from the five for the Faculty's first score, and then passed to Dick Steinhouse for the extra point. Their second score was a fifty yard bomb from Trager to Stein-house. In the closing seconds, Third New was behind 13-6, their ice breaker coming from a pass from Larry Ostrom to Rollie Kingsley. The same combination connected for a second TD to bring them within one but the extra point try was unsuccessful to tie down the Faculty victory. Dale Saxon and Dan Larson pro-vided most of the day's fireworks as they led Falcon to a 25-0 white-wash over the New Dorm. Saxon passed to Larson for touchdowns of 35, 50, and 40 yards and also connected with Steve Hanson for a 70-yard score. Wayne Carpenter was the recipient of the only ex-tra point Falcon could make. Third Old whitewashed a six man team from First Floor by a en opportunities, failed to capital-ize on them. This Saturday the University of Minnesota, Morris will meet the Royals. It will be Bethel's fourth straight home game. The Royals will be out fighting as a loss would extinguish any hopes for a win-ning season. 23-0 score. Al Berg tossed to Tim Hieb and ran for the first and last Third Old TD's. Dave Maurer in-tercepted a pass and ran it back 25 yards for the other. The squad's tenacious defense also scored when John Larson put two points on the board with a safety. In the last shut-out of the day, Second New defeated Second Old by a 15-0 margin. Gary Hasselblad connected with Gordy Nordmark and converted for a 7-0 lead with Rick Berggren. In the second half, Rory (Nord-mark) scored the young season's third safety. To cap off the scor-ing, Rick Berggren caught a 10- yard pass from Hasselblad. Lowly Pit was the only spoiler as they forfeited to an eager and strong team from Off Campus. Dale Saxon now leads all quar-terbacks by a comfortable margin, after the first two weeks of the campaign. The former All-Star End has tossed five scoring passes and added two extra points to put up' 32 points to his credit. Hasselblad, a former All-Star Halfback, and frosh Rob Graben-kort of First Floor take up second place with 13 points. Dan Larson leads in the regular scoring department with 25 points while Jim Feldman has 13, and Rollie Kingsley 12 to round out the top three.

Transcript | Vol. XLIII—No. 4 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Friday, October 4, 1968 James dies in St. Paul hospital Marion James, 19, a Bethel sophomore and mem-ber of the varsity football team died Monday, Septem-ber 30, at St. Paul Ramsey Hospital. Marion collapsed during a football scrimmage September 25 and never regained consciousness, despite surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. - The football squad was practicing at McMurray Field, St. Paul, when James, who was being groomed for a starting defensive post, collapsed following a play. In response to Marion's death, Dr. Carl Lund-quist, president of Bethel College and Seminary, is-sued the following statement: "The entire campus community was saddened by the death of Marion James, a sophomore from Fosston, Minnesota. He was a representative student who exemplified many of Bethel's highest ideals. "Our campus is much poorer without him. Al-though he collapsed during football scrimmage, it is now quite apparent that this was not a football in-duced injury. It could have happened anywhere. "In piecing together for me some of his recent experiences his parents indicated a growing aware-ness of some physical problems that tended to fit into a pattern but became obvious to them only in the light of his collapse and death. "They have voiced their gratitude for the suppor-tive role played by so many of the Bethel students and teachers." Bethel students have circulated a petition request-ing that the new dormitory being erected on the Arden Hills campus be named in honor of Marion. The Bethel Choir has reactivated the Voice Scholar-ship Fund as a memorial to him. Marion accompanied the Bethel College Choir on a six-week concert tour to Europe this past summer. Marion James was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and would have become twenty years old December 20. He graduated from high school in Fosston, Minnesota in May 1967, ranking fourth in his class and enrolled at Bethel College the following September. His father Marion Eugene, Sr., died in 1959 and his mother later married the Rev. John Olson, now pastMora roifo tnh ew Faos stshtoen o Bldaep,tSi$t t !

He was also president of the district Christian Youth Fellowship. Funeral services were held in the Fosston Baptist Church on Wednesday, October 2, with Rev. Maurice Lawson, Bethel campus pastor, officiating. Coaches and co-captains of the football team attended the services, and a quartet from the college choir sang. Pall bearers included members of the choir and football team. A number of other students also at-tended the funeral. Interment will be Lakeview Cemetery in rural Duluth.

What's new about WBCS? Steve Lee and Charlie Kramerich, techni-cians, have, along with Kingsbeck, completely reworked the broad-casting room from wall to wall. 125 new albums are on file above the 375 available last year. Beside the new records and an experienced, ambitious s t a f f, WBCS anticipates an active advan-tage over last year in this fall's Clarion-Senate-radio approach to student service. "We want to work together in serving the students," Kingsbeck stated. "We can't effect-ively serve the students by un-healthy competition between serv-ice organizations." Clarion workers, senators and radio operators will attempt a more coordinated expression of student interest and action. The aim is coordination, not a triune organization bias. Service to the community necessitates not agree-ment under contract, but simply a mutual concern to be useful in the end result—service. Part of WBCS's part of the plan involves a more diversified and complete coverage of sports, tal-ent, interviews, news, music, poli-tical discussions and other "talk shows." "We plan to continue our pro-gram called Vocal Point," said Kingsbeck. "We'll have well-known people from town on the air and let the students participate b y phone." Leonard Sammons will di-rect Vocal Point, as well as the news, weather, and sports announc-ing for WBCS. A wide variety of music will include "classical" and "religious" (with Dave Waite in charge), folk music, Broadway musicals and "Popular music." Kingsbeck approached the deli-cate subject of musical taboos and non-taboos rather cautiously. "I don't believe in isolationism," he conceded, "but we will use discre-tion in our selections. If we hear a good sound in 'rock' we'll con-sider it." He emphasized "consid-er" to establish the understanding that he feels no obligation to play any particular piece due to its i)opularity elsewhere. WBCS operators are still devel-oping one of their newer ideas for WBCS sports coverage. They expect to initiate a keener inter-est in sports among the students by taping Bethel "away" basketball games and playing them back over the air later for those unfortun-ates unable to attend in person and those enthusiasts not satis-fied with just seeing the game. "If it seems to meet student ap-proval and support we may begin taping other sports. We'll start with basketball," Kingsbeck said. For world news and sports WBCS will be "plugging in" to KQRS, a Twin City station. WBCS also has permission to broadcast WAYL any time of the day. As far as equipment is con-cerned WBCS is not entirely up-to-date, but, as Kingsbeck maintains, "we work with what we have, and I'm sure we can produce a pro-fessional sound—a lot better than last year's." A big step in the future of WBCS involves an increase in pow-er from the present one hundred milowatts to a wattage capable of reaching the new Bethel Seminary in Arden Hills. Although still in the planning, the program would involve building a radio tower in Arden Hills, switching to FM ster-eo, purchasing a 1000-watt trans-mitter and spreading out among several studios rather than broad-casting frbrn the very crowded one in the basement of the College Building. The Clarion was awarded an All- American honor rating for the spring semester of 1968. The rating was received Tuesday, October 1. The evaluation of collegiate newspapers is a service of Associ-ated Collegiate Press at the Uni-versity of Minnesota's School of Journalism. This is the fifth semester the Clarion has achieved an All-Ameri-can rating since becoming a mem-ber of ACP in 1954. The distinction was last earned during both semes-ters of 1965-66. Publications are analyzed and rated according to classifications by ACP's critical service.

Latest official target date is October 12, when two floors of college women will move in. Men will have to wait until the 26th. ing a paper receives is intended to show how is compares with oth-er papers in the same classification throughout the nation. The Clarion was grouped with 29 other papers, all weeklies, put out by colleges with an enrollment of 701 to 1200 students. Entries came from all over the country, including such states as New York, Georgia, Texas, and Washington, besides nearly all the Minneorta colleges. So far five All-American ratings have been awarded in this classi-fication, including the Clarion's recognition. The critical service for the five remaining entries has not been completed. Ratings are based on a scoring system with 4000 points represent-ing the highest possible total. 3700 points are needed to achieve All- American recognition. From there, ratings run down through first, second, third, and fourth class. The Clarion's score was 3920 out of the possible 4000. This is the highest score recorded out of the twenty-five entries judged so far. The Sou'Wester of South Western College of Indiana currently ranks second with 3870 total points. The Clarion received a perfect score in regard to its news cover-age. Evaluation in this area was based on a full use of news sourc-es, treatment of copy, and creativ-ity. Content of the paper was also judged highly, with the Clarion receiving 720 out of a possible 750 points. The Clarion also received nearly perfect scores on its physical prop-erties, including layout, headlines, typography, and photography.

But Junior will not. He made his way silent-ly among us, and left si-lently enough too. Utterly unpretentious he thrust himself headlong into ev-erything, doing so always with that quiet humility which skirts anything ap-proaching drama. His life was today and tomorrow. For he gave himself to the moment without reserve yet held fast to his goal-- to teach children. To those who chose to share his world, he was sincere, to the few who could call him friend he was honest, to the handful that confided in him he gave himself carelessly. On the fly leaf of his soul was written in regular hand -- I give my-self to God. He would have flushed had we known the mea-sure of his compassion that burned within his heart. For it was this very passion that rebuked us. Junior's death is a cele-bration for he pursued Life and has now found it. He pursued it as though it had been a prey unrelent-ing -- that it might not es-cape his sight for a mo-ment. For as he sang he did so with gusto in his soul, as he prayed he did so with heat, as he played he did that too with aban-don. The beginning of a Liv-ing memory renews the soul. So I say, celebrate, with silence and with cym-bals, for we will remem-ber Junior's life. Praise be to God! Senate action by Maurice Zaffke The inertia that accompanied this years initial Senate meeting vanished as the student representa-tives met for their second session, Monday, October 1. A constitutional amendment hur-dled swiftly over the two-thirds majority needed. The proposed amendment attempts to define spe-cifically what constitutes a valid election. It states that a candidate must receive not only more votes than his opponent but that he must also receive 40 percent of the vote. In the event that no candi-date attains this requirement, the race would be decided by a run-off election with no write-ins al-. lowed. Student approval will probably be sought during the balloting to fill the vacancies in the Senate. Many modifications were made in the election code.

Editor-in-chief Lynn Bergfalk Assistant Editor Maurice Zaffke News Editor Sue Bonstrom Feature Editor Jeanne Seaholm Business Manager Bill Goodwin Circulation Manager Pat Faxon Photographer Warren Disbrow Proof Reader Karen Rodberg Advisor Jon Fagerson Opinions expressed In the CLARION d. not necessarily reflect the position of the college or seminary. A battery of recommendations made by the Student Services Office concerning rebates and the current schedule of rents have been ap-proved by the Business Office. While none of them can be applauded as a clear indication that students are actually more important than dollar bil.s, most of the recommendations — with notable exceptions—must be recognized as fair, representing a reasonable compromise between student interests and the school's fin-ancial needs. However, the proposal to reimburse tempor-ary Edgren residents at the rate of two dollars weekly is not only outrageous and unjust, but it is an insult to the whole idea of a rebate. This recommendation ignores three important considerations. The rebate is intended (for Edgren's tem-porary and permanent residents) to make amends for the crowded conditions in Edgren's new wing where three men have, during the past month, shared a room intended for two. First, why has no distinction been made be-tween permanent and temporary residents when the latter must face considerably more inconvenience than permanent residents? (Both parties receive equal rebates). Men ticketed for the new campus dormi-tory have moved into Edgren, out of Edgren, into the new Seminary Apartments, and (hope-fully) in three more weeks', they will move again, this time to the new residence. In addition, the uniform rebate for tempor-ary and regular Edgrenites assumes uniform facilities for both parties in regard to living quarters. This is a fallacious assumption in that interim residents inevitably wind up sleeping on the extra cots and possessing little more than vestiges of desk and closet facilities. Second, temporary residents paid seven dol-lars weekly (subtracting the rebate) to live in Edgren while regular residents paid only five dollars. Speaking mildly, this is quite unreason-able. On what basis should interim residents be charged higher rates for the same facilities, particularly under adverse conditions? Since two different schedules of rent are involved, common sense would seem to dictate rebates equalizing charges for the same facili-ties. Students slated to live in the new dormi-tory should not have the higher rent assessed for those facilities carried over into interim housing. Thirdly, it is unethical for the college to make money off student inconvenience. The crowded conditions in Edgren were caused by delay in the completion of the Arden Hill's dormitory, and were not the responsibility of students. Despite the rebate, the college, however, re-ceived more income from Edgren during the time it was utilized as interim housing than when it is operated under normal circumstanc-es. It is only fair to request a rebate large enough to cover the difference between the combined rents of three occupants compared to the total for the usual two inhabitants. One justification for securing higher reve-nue from overcrowded rooms centered on the perennial situation in Bodien where several rooms house extra women. While the rent is reduced in these cases, it is not lowered pro-portionately. This situation, which raises some questions of its own, was pointed out when similar con-ditions were created in Edgren this fall, and one inequity was used to justify another. Stu-dents, however, do not believe that two wrongs make a right. In view of these three points, nothing less than a five dollar rebate for temporary resi-dents can be defended. The other rebate deci-sions, while not heartwarm and, in the case of regular Edgrenites, minimal, are reasonably fair. Page 2 the CLARION Friday, October 4, 1968 College housing rebates . . . and rents In addition to rebate decisions, the Student Services' rec-ommendation that rent charges be left at the announced sched-ules for this year was also approved by the Business Office. While the Business Office's approval surprises no one, the rec-ommendation by Student Services is very disappointing to students. While the unfair rebate decision affected only seventy or eighty men (and about thirty or so temporary residents most directly), the above rent decision affects all new dormitory residents. Even more important than the segment of the stu-dent body directly concerned are the somewhat disturbing im-plications for the student body as a whole. A previous editorial delineated the factors causing student inconvenience in living on the new campus and commuting to the present campus, and weighed this against the better fa-cilities of the new dormitory. This discussion built a strong argument for uniform rents on both campuses, and the case for uniform rent was strengthened by the implications arising from the half million dollar gift which made construction pos-sible. This argument need not be reiterated. Another consideration, which seems to have been lost in the confusion, should be noted, however. The different rent schedules were not announced. Students applied for housing last spring assuming uniform rent. If there is to be a difference, it is unfair not to announce it in advance; since this was not done, this fact should be a consideration in the re-evaluation of the rent situation. As it turned out, the majority of students assigned to new campus housing did not end up there by first choice. However, they are tagged with higher rent in addition to winding up with their second or third choice of housing. Some officials have indicated that "extra services" will be provided as compensation for these students. They have yet to demonstrate what and how much, and, if past actions this fall are a reliable indication of what is yet to come, students will be understandably pessimistic. Again, the question has been asked by some officials, "How do you set a price on inconvenience?" We agree that this may be difficult, but do not believe it is an excuse for shirking the responsibility of making equitable adjustments to incon-venienced parties. A student enters into a type of contract with the college for housing. If he does not fulfil the terms of this contract and choses to live elsewhere after committing himself to col-lege housing, he forfeits his room deposit. If he cancels out of college housing during the year, he does not receive a propor-tional reimbursement. We feel that this contract is not a unilateral one. Perhaps those who--are most intimately involved in decision making at this point have lost sight of the not-so-minor point that the college is the party which has not fulfilled the terms of this contract in the case of the new dormitory. As students, we feel that such carelessness is not excusable. LETTING- THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY . . . and students The recent decisions involving rent and rebate questions do not enhance the images of either the Business Office or Student Services Office in student eyes. Perhaps the most immediate implication of these decisions concerns administrative promises to grant a rebate in compen-sation for living in a partially completed building later this fall, when new dorm occupancy is a reality. Such words have a somewhat hollow ring to students whose confidence in these offices has been undermined. Further implications seem even more threatening from both student and administrative perspectives. The failure to meet legitimate student requests phrased in a responsible and intelligent way with an appropriate response can be nothing but detrimental to student-administration interaction. Of course, the rent issue does not rest solely with new dormitory residents. There has always been some overcrowd-ing in Bodien without adequate compensation to those involved. The rent for Falcon Manor is far from fair when its facilities cont'd on page 3 ZE,f4VE71 Ed. Note: This independent column is prepared by an editorial board currently composed of four Bethel alumni: Malcolm Avey. Jim Brand, Al Brown, and Rich Runbeck. How much obedience does a man owe his state? Or per-haps to put the question in contemporary language, what does a man owe his country? Absolute unquestioning obedience? Obedience tempored by critical questioning? Strict obedience in some measures and nominal obedience in others? Can it ever be possible that a man owes to his state to be disobedient (i.e. civil dis-obedience)? These are questions which rack the minds of many today. In particular the questions of obedience in activities of war seem to cause much confusion. Christians have historically claimed to be special people. Maybe then the question for Bethelites should be, "How much obedience does a Christian owe his state?" Different Christian groups historically have had varied answers. The Roman Catholic Church as an institution in Europe once had so much power that in many respects it was the state. Canon (church) law had pre-eminence over local (state) law in many areas and ways. As the Catholic Church began to lose power to the state, conflicts developed. The church often fought this change of jurisdiction, nor were its motives always selfish. Sometimes it condemned a state because of its alleged wrongful activities. As a result there is a strong background of potential opposition to state power in the Catholic Church. It is probably more than coincidence that the central fig-ure in the challenge to America's Vietnam war policies is Sen. McCarthy, a Catholic who once studied for the priesthood. When one turns to Protestant history and doctrine, he finds a mixture of belief. The Mennonites and Anabaptists, sometimes viewed as "fringe" Protestant movements of the 16th century, maintained (and still do) an ambivalent attitude toward the state. They would obey in some things, but in others which they felt contradicted their Christian conscience (such as war), they refused. They found themselves persecuted by both Catholics and other Protestants for their position. The "main line" Protestants, Lutherans and Calvinists, however, seem to have identified very heavily with state power. Like the Catholics their motives were mixed. Being very ardent Biblicists, they siezed upon individual verses and passages, such as Romans 13, to demonstrate God's demand for strict obedience. Some Lutheran and Calvinist princes and rulers, however, used this doctrine to justify non-compliance with Catholic directives. As long as they could claim that their state's powers des-cended from God, they did not need to heed the pope or any other prince or ruler. The "divine right of kings" doctrine got a big boost from Protestant doctrine on the state. All this history might seem irrelevant except that many Christians behave today toward their state in ways proscribed by these doctrines. This is particularly dangerous for the "main line" Protestants. The pressure of modern experience with state power weighs very heavily on the conscience. One doubts that a Christian who was put in charge of the gas chambers in a Nazi extermination camp could long praise God at the end of each day. In fact it might seem that this man stands condemned by Romans 13:9 and 10 which describes love as the supreme commandment and says "love worketh no ill to his neighbor." Modern states since the close of WW II have collected even more potentially horrible weaponry and destructive plans than the Nazi's. Everything from ICBM's with multiple explosive heads to the use of Bubonic plague spread by saboteurs is advo-cated as potential war procedure. And it's not just the "Bad guys" in the "communist" world who are doing research in these techniques. The U.S. leads in much of this research. It is time for Christians to re-evaluate adherence to and use of state power. J.B. Friday, October 4, 1968 the CLARION Page 3 Dean Olson challenges small college The real issue confronting the small college in the big world is survival! . . "the typical Protes-tant college . . . has little to of-fer that public colleges do not of-fer at a lower price, except small-ness, protectiveness, and some-times piety.- . I do not discount the vital role the church-related colleges play in the educational future of America. The reason I have ac-cepted this position of the vice presidency and deanship of Bethel College is . . . that I am here with just as deep a commitment to the distinctive mission which I believe the Christian liberal arts colleges have to American education. I see no dichotomy between my Christian, theological perspective, my Biblical worldview and the finest and the highest in liberal arts education. If liberal arts edu-cation is the appropriating and understanding of the total life of man and his environment . . . the Christian view is not something over, under or alongside of. but it is that integrative soul. Ed. note : These excerpts are from Dr. Olson's inaugural ad-dress, given during academic convocation Tuesday, October 1. I am not certain how long a small college like Bethel can sur-vive and truly be prophetic. The patronage function squelches the prophetic function. .. Small pri-vate colleges, except a few, cannot enjoy financial independence. Too often the prophetic voice of the college is muted to woo the concerned constituency, which usually asks for the healing of existing insecurities, than to create greater anxieties by exposing, cru-sading, contending for ideas, con-cepts and causes that are less than popular to the materially afflueni and the spiritually serene. Instead of blowing the prophet's trumpet to the secular world and crying "Hear ye, Hear ye," we toot our tin, toy horns that may irritate the sensitivities of the select, par-ticularly in the institutional church. But this noise in the solemn as-semblies is scarcely heeded on the The acceleration in the velocity of history, the rapidity and the rate of social change means that inherited ideas, structured iner-rancies of faith and practice and institutional forms and patterns live in constant jeopardy of obso-lescence. The older generation, which adopts the pattern and supports, the position of Bethel, lived in a day when change was a spectacu-lar innovation. Time was given for adjustment to each. New rents set Recommendations prepared by the Student Services Office con-cerning the present schedule of rents and the question of rebates for students affected by temporary housing were approved early this week by the Business Office. Rebates on rent charges were granted to all students affected by interim housing. The decision was made, however, not to change the current schedule of rents for any college housing. Meal ticket alterations were enacted for resi-dents of the new campus dormi-tory. Students living in non-Bethel fa-cilities, excluding the fairground units, will receive a rebate of $9.00 per week from September 5 to the time they move into the new dorm. Women students living in the fairground units will be granted a rebate of $2.00 per week until the new housing is available. This means they will pay $7.00 per week for the motel which equals expense incurred by the college for each occupant. Men temporarily living in Ed-gren and permanent Edgren resi-dents who have had an extra per-son living in their rooms are sla-ted to receive a $2.00 rebate per week. Adjustments in the meal proce-dure allow students living in the new dorm a refund for breakfasts. The special meal ticket policy per-mits the student to eat any two meals he chooses in either the coffee shop or the cafeteria. Rebates will be given after stu-dents move into their new hous-ing, when it will be possible to de-termine the exact amount to be refunded. The amount of compen-sation students are entitled to for living in a partially completed building is now under considera-tion and will be set when the building is occupied. other side of the ecclesiastical moat. .. We dare not remove the dy-namism of the Gospel to a con-trolled conservatory where time stands still, where there are no contradictions, where pious phras-es only have meaning in some Bib-lical anagram game. . . . We must take seriously the cost of this dis-cipleship. If students are intro-duced to the vital dimensions of human involvement, it is hoped that increasingly they would be a part of the prophetic perspective. Another characteristic of the pro-phetic function is that of courage. I have usually interpreted the words of Jesus, "If the world hates you, know that it hated me," to refer to that big, bad secular world, full of thieves and murderers. But when I read the gospel record I find the prostitutes, outcasts, po-litical revolutionaries, politicians, But now our young people are bombarded by instantaneous change that threatens their very personal identity. Communication is no longer in logical sequence, including time and distance, but now it is simultaneous and collec-tive, it "involves all of us all at once." It is easy for the church to think of its college as a fortress, a place which will protect young people from the threatening changes tak-ing place, as seen so vividly on the large universities. The delicate balance between the ideas that are acceptable and those that are questionable is in-creasingly being threatened. The risks of misunderstanding, aliena-tion and perhaps a college collapse are real. Therefore let me suggest a cri-teria for relationship: One, the college ought to remain true to the Christian faith that makes it distinctive. I'm referring to the faith that fights, weeps, consoles, thinks, struggles, overcomes. I feel the college can make a contribu-tion to the church by explicating a secular theology. The churches should be able to commend or criticize t h e college without the spirit of pa-ternalism, and the college should be able to be free to experiment and test the patterns and preach-ment of the church establishment without the spirit of arrogance or irresponsibility. soldiers, poor people, children re-ceived the Saviour. The tragedy was that the reli-gious establishment did not re-ceive him. I'm not so sure that the secular world is going to hate the Christian for truly being pro-phetic. It very likely will be the religious regiments that are afraid of anyone breaking step. The third characteristic for the performance of the prophetic func-tion in freedom. I am not even concerned about the freedom from outward servility. Many of the Old Testament prophets were impris-oned and bound, but still were free prophets. This release comes only 'because the person has met that one who was sent "to proclaim release to the captives . . . to set at liberty those who are oppressed." . . . A major characteristic of the prophetic function is faith. A pro-phet who has no hope, sees no "city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God," is a "prof," to be sure, but he has no "it." He is broken in the middle. This prophetic function may seem like a dream, dangerous and delirious to some, but to others it will be a way, a venture, a meaningful existence of bearing the cross of Christ. Without the ideal of the prophe-tic function it seems that a Chris-tian liberal arts college does not rise much higher than the charac-terization made by Robert Hutch-ins who defined the university as a group of buildings and schools that share a common heating plant. apostolic action To be a part of a community of scholars committed to the Chris-tian world-view which I have set before you means that education must be expressed in demonstra-tion. If Bethel can place the soul in the life of liberal arts educa-tion, then it seems that many of the graduates ought to be motiva-ted not only to speak to the ills of the world but also to give healing to the hurts of the world. To participate in the mission of Christ, to be a part of his apos-tolate ought to be the most chal-lenging option of our day. Un-fortunately the apostolate has of-ten been associated with societies, special organized projects spon-sored by institutional churches. While not trying to be presump-tuous, I still believe the ultimate secret for the survival of a col-lege like Bethel is its belief, its commitment to that same God who is our mighty fortress in the midst of this big world. opening challenge .. . the college's prophetic function ... churchly function Students face unfair decisions from page 2 are compared to other college owned manors and it is certainly far from being competitive on the open market. This week's decisions indicate that student interests are not given adequate consideration. And students could well ask why no student representative was allowed to represent, first hand, their own interests in the decision making process. This is not a request for student made decisions; it is, however, a very legitimate request for active student participation in de-cisions which directly concern students. What student response to the recent decisions will involve remains to be seen. If the college's goal of producing young men and women capable of realizing their "unique and sacred potentialities," of making their "own best contribution to so-ciety," of developing a "discriminating awareness of and con-cern for Christian motives," (page 8 of the Bethel College Cata-log), if this goal is being reached, the kind of students present at Bethel will respond with a plea for greater autonomy in areas that will help prepare them better for the outside world. But if students continue to sit passively in the face of token responses to legitimate requests, responses which are more of an insult to student "pretentiousness" in daring to question a decision than an acknowledgement of student ex-pression, than the goal of an evangelical task force capable of penetrating society is little more than an idle dream. • 4;;W° -,4", „441400,410 ...e•Vs0.41 Ast‘r • 4,, • •••` .••• • •••• ,•.•,I,t•VNW■••:X,r.X.*.a•e~ga ga'a'AMW Page 4 the CLARION Friday, October 4, 1968 Bethel Center: end or beginning? The Social Ministries Committee of the Minnesota Baptist Confer-ence recommends that Bethel Christian Center cease operation. Urban Redevelopment gave the committee the options of either improving the Center substantial-ly or discontinuing it. T h e costs of improvement ranged from $20,000 to $40,000. The monetary value of the Cen-ter approximates $15,000. Therefore approximately $50,000 would be involved in rehabilitation. From the perspective of communi-ty developments such expenditures seemed unwise to the Committee. The Seward community, in which the Center exists, receives the service of Pillsbury-Waite Neighborhood Services. In the process of area renewal an ade-quate community center is being established through the joint co-operation of the Minneapolis Park Board, the Minneapolis Board of Education, and Pillsbury House. This facility will be constructed in the immediate area of the Cen-ter. Continuation of this Baptist organization for multiple purpose urban outreach would mean both competition and costly duplication of community service efforts. Another negative feature be-comes apparent in a study of area geography. The community will soon be locked in by freeways on Having spent the first eighteen years of my life in a small rural community, I probably experienced as much culture shock during my summer in the Inner-City of Min-neapolis as any of my Student Missionary friends who traveled abroad. I gave the name "Urban-ity" to the life I expected to face —cold, impersonal neighbors, rat-infested homes, exhaust-polluted air and noise. But mine was a typical neighbor-hood. The closest thing I saw to a rat-infested house was one eve-ning when a wary looking gray mouse peeked out at me from be-neath my own stove. Perhaps the income of the aver-age member of the community was a bit below the average for the city, but the people were of vari-ous types. There were good Chris-tian families, the typical American Church-goers, the Sunday morning sleepers, and those with a criminal two sides, railroad tracks on a third, and the Mississippi River on the fourth side. Because of the competitive fa-cilities and the geographic ina-bility to attract people from adja-cent areas, the Social Ministries Committee felt compelled to rec-ommend that the program be aban-doned. On October 3-5 the Annual Meet-ing of the Minnesota Baptist CQn-ference will be held in Duluth. The Committee will make their recommendation then. It is expected that the passing of this resolution will be routine. In fact, Rev. Westby, full-time di-rector of the Center, already is formulating plans to transfer the Sunday School to Bethlehem Bap-tist Church by January and the club program by the following spring. When Bethel Center dissolves a colorful chapter in the history of the Baptist Church will end. Ini-tially in 1907 the Bethel Church almost faced extinction in the face of a lack of building funds. Involved in the foreign mission program and the creation of a Christian community, the Bethel Church soon found itself swallowed by the jaws of the Big City. Then they experienced neighborhood de-terioration and now urban renewal. From a rural church to a labora-record. I got to know all of the people in the neighborhood — from the lonely five year old to the local prostitutes to dynamic Christian teenagers. All were my friends. These friends were not so much living in financial poverty as they were living in emotional and spir-itual poverty. The real joy of life comes when we stop telling people about love and begin to show it. It does no good to slap the fingers of a drunk-en teenager and say, "naughty, naughty." I cannot expect to ap-pease my conscience by sending someone else across the sea. Christianity has become a 24- hour a day way of life. The real exhilaration and joy cannot be related except between those who have known the same situation. My opinion of the city has changed. "Urbanity" may be cold, impersonal neighbors but they are tory in urban outreach, the Church has existed. Now in the renewal, it must die. With it goes the only Minnesota Conference supported urban program. The relevant question now is, how will the Baptist movement reach the urban area? impersonal only as long as we are unwilling to go to them. "Urbanity" may be rat-infested housing but what are we doing in our comforta, bly padded pews if this is the case? "Urbanity" is noise, but look be-yond the general hub-bub to the questions of the individual. Urban-ity is the individual. No where do we have the opportunity to con-front more people than in the city. Ip Joel we read . . . "Your old men shall dream dreams, and your sons and your daughters shall pro-phesy, and your young men shall see visions. . ." I'm anxious that the young men and women of Bethel College will catch the vision of the city that needs Christ. It means laughing at yourself, sharing your very soul with others, loving people you may have a diffi-culty in liking. It also means walk-ing every step of the way with Jesus Christ. It's Christianity in action. How about it? Who gets this sign? summer of 1968 when the basic theme was "God's Love Conquers the World." Participation in a Day Camp situation added a new dimension to the summer program at Beth-el Christian Center. Bethel Center participates with five conference churches in Camp Oh'Beco, located on Ham Lake north of Minneapolis. This week provides the Bethel Center kids with an opportunity to get to know youngsters from other backgrounds as well as to have some fun in the out-of-doors. For teen-age boys in the Bethel Center area the highlight of the summer comes in August when Dick takes them on a canoe trip in Northern Minnesota for a week. This week provides op-portunities for discussion and dialogue with boys who seldom think about God and Salvation. In the winter of 1967 a Sunday service was started at Bethel Center. This program begins with an opening session. Dick Westby leads and the group then breaks up into separate Sunday School classes for most ages. Much formal contact is made by Rev. Westby through casual meetings on the streets, the school playground and in the homes. Many opportunities are opened through these contacts to be living models of Jesus Christ. Bethel Center does not minister in the normal way a church does but tries to deal with people where they are. Who makes windows? A curtain falls .. . Center faces closing Bethel Christian Center started its existence in a building formerly known as the Bethel Bap-tist Church, which began as an offshoot of Beth-lehem Baptist, located in downtown Minneapolis. The original community, largely Swedish in background, was rural in 'nature. Pasture lands surrounded the original church building which was erected in 1896 and was replaced by the pres-ent brick building in 1907. Throughout the years many well known men and women began their careers in Bethel Baptist. Rev. K. J. Carlson added much stability to Bethel Baptist during his years of service there. Bethel Baptist also added to the Christian en-deavor on a broader scale by giving Rev. and Mrs. Charles Merchant for missionary service in Assam. As the years went by the community surround-ing. Bethel Baptist changed. The Swedish people became a minority and finally became almost extinct. With the disintegration of church membership in the neighborhood Bethel Baptist lost much of its leadership and financial backing. In 1961 the situation became critical and the daughter church, Bethel Baptist, went back to Bethlehem Baptist. For several years Bethlehem Baptist people attempted to keep a program going at Bethel Church. The program mainly consisted of different interest clubs such as leatherwork, sewing, and cooking. After two years of working Bethlehem Baptist encountered a critical situation in regard to work-ers and had to give up the work. The Minnesota Baptist Conference took over possession of old Bethel Baptist for one dollar. For the first years the work was carried on by part-time directors. This method proved to be unsatisfactory and in October of 1966 Rev. Dick Westby came as the first full-time director of Bethel Christian Center. Since coming to Bethel Center, Rev. Westby, or Dick as he is known to the area, has added to existing programs and started severel new pro-grams. A club program which covered youth in grades three through nine started with leadership from Bethel College. These clubs place college-age youth, who come from a middle-class orientated church and social background, in contact with kids who come from lower-middle and upper-lower social classes and from limited church backgrounds. The learning process occurs on both sides in this type of re-lationship. During the summer a Daily Vacation Bible School adds an opportunity for the kids in the neighborhood to come into contact with the Gos-pel of Jesus Christ in a more formal and structur-ed manner than is usually associated with Bethel Center. Westby trys to instill action and relevance to the VBS program. For example, consider the Center stimulates cultural shock by Val Peterson Closed?

Many of the past carefree leisure travel experiences and opportunities have disappeared with the construction of concrete slabs connecting the superhighways with the supersonic airports. But this has provided tremendous opportunities for con-tinental and foreign travel. Even though our country is great for rapid traveling, it often lacks this free spirit of traveling which students have rejuvenated in many foreign countries. The popularity of student travel and mobility has inspired this weekly column. Many Bethel students are "Campus Vaga-bonds" with their varied experiences of living and traveling abroad.

It is in the city that the Church is going to be facing its greatest challenge in the coming years. During my summer at Bethel Christian Center in Minneapolis I learned a little more about the urban situation. It was not the most optimistic time that I have ever had in my life. In fact, at times I was very de-pressed with the apparent lack of effect upon the kids with whom I had contact. Most particularly, the teenagers tried to keep as much distance as possible between them-selves and a stranger in the neigh-borhood. It took almost the entire ten weeks that I spent in the Seward Community before I was able to break down the barriers between A new look is shaping the Coffee Shop, making it more accessible to Bethel's community. Accommodation has always been a problem. This year one section which formerly was isolated by a divider has been remade into the Royal Room. New tables and chairs fill this wing, which is enclosed by white ironwork fencing. On the wall the words "Bethel Royals" surround a gold lion's face. Remodeling emphasizes one of the major aims of the Coffee Shop —to provide a more suitable place for socializing. It's not necessarily us. They needed to have time to look me over and to see if I was worthy of trust. Exposure to me was the most important during the early part of the summer. After they were sure that I was all right they began to talk with me. This last point may be the most important one that I discovered this summer. One must not push to be accepted as a member of the "IN" crowd because you never will be a true member. We can only sit around and show that we are concerned and that we won't shove religion down anybody's throat. We must just show love and concern, and hope that they will be able to realize what is meant when it is stated that God is love. This is especially necessary since not many of the kids have ever experienced love. They need direction in how to love and be oved. a hang-out for the hungry. Tables may be reserved for groups or committee meetings during serv-ing hours or at night. Often peo-ple come there just to unwind their minds or relax their nerves. Convenience has been a sore-spot in the Coffee Shop's kitchen. The time required for dishwashing didn't allow for efficient service. Consequently there has been a change to paper and plastic dish-es. The renovations in decor and dishes have helped the Coffee Shop to serve Bethelites better. In response to the vacuum in Baptist urban relations, a social action committee, Students for Ur-ban Involvement, has been formed. Students for Urban Involvement intends to be an innovative group dedicated to experimentation in Christian outreach to various ur-ban groups. It hopes to develop within the Minnesota Conference new atti-tudes toward Christian social ac-tion. Another objective concerns the preparations of the Bethel com-munity for the enrollment of ur-ban minority groups. The committee basically agrees with the decision to discontinue the Bethel Center as such. How-ever it opposes withdrawal from the Seward area. If Bethel Center cannot function in that area, Students for Urban Involvement contends that the re-structuring of involvement, not re-treat, constitutes the proper re-sponse. Initiation of this action involves Maurice Zaffke, Arnie Bergstrom and Larry Day. Other organizers include Tom Mesaros and Lynn Bergfalk. by Marjorie Rusche With the school year barely start-ed, the cafeteria has already be-come a focal point of concern for many students. Comments about the quality of the food and effici-ency of the food service are num-erous. This article will explore the operatory of the cafeteria. Administration of the cafeteria is done by Mrs. Johnson, food ser-vice manager, and Wayne Erickson, administrative assistant. In an in-terview, they delineated the joint set-up of the cafeteria. "Our biggest problem with the food service right now is finding enough people to work at noon, particularly Monday, T u e s d a y, Wednesday and Friday," they said. "The evening and breakfast meals are pretty well covered. "When we get more workers, we hope to open up a second line to ease the situation of long waits in line. One fellow came to us and reported standing in line for 45 minutes. We want to try and prevent this type of thing. We en-joy hearing all comments about the food service," they concluded. Another important aspect of the cafeteria 'involves the financial end. Mr. Walters in the Business office stated, "The cafeteria has a budget of $235,000. Students con-tribute all but $15,000 to this." Salaries of non-student food work-ers were a confidential matter. Student wages are $1.30 per hour. Forty-five per cent Of the total cafeteria budget is spent for food. The majority of the budget is used in salaries and fringe benefits, in- WHAT'S NEW 5 Colored Slides of Bethel's Campus— $1.00 Be ihel Boalasioite Coffee shop caters to patrons surance, wages, utilities, equip-ment, maintenance, etc. Walters predicted that inflationary trends, increasing food costs, and rising wages would precipitate a rise in food costs for the college next year, and that part or all of this raise would be passed on to the students. Random interviews with student cafeteria workers provided some interesting insights into food ser-vice. One worker was fuming be-cause Bethelites weren't stacking their trays correctly. Since only one person can clear trays, time and money are saved if students stack their trays the way they're supposed to. Another worker was so physically exhausted after two hours of working (only two people were working at a particular job which required four) that she broke down in tears when she reached her room. So students—have patience with the cafeteria food service. They really are trying to provide ade-quate nourishment for the Bethel community.

Page 6 the CLARION Mr. James Bragg joined Bethel this year as Assistant Dean of Stu- ' dents. Actually he will be spend-ing half his time with financial aid and half with recruitment. Last April during an interview President Lundquist discovered that Bragg had been involved in a program of minority recruitment at Aurora College in Illinois. In-terested in the progress of his campaign, the President asked him to lead Bethel in a similar pro-gram to recruit Inner City Blacks. "Bethel definitely has a respon-sibility with the Black community," Bragg stated. "We will do some-thing, but maybe we need work done here first." On October 7, Bragg; along with representatives from other colle-ges, will attend a session on "Pro-grams for Disadvantaged Stu-dents." The interaction within the group will allow him to perceive the current attitudes of other col-leges. Radio station from page 1 However, an increase in power creates listeners outside the Beth-el community, and this spontan-eously produces a greater responsi-bility for WBCS. Kingsbeck warned, "it would be easy to inno-cently create a harmful situation —I mean harmful to Bethel's repu-tation. "We want to work with adminis-tration, but I don't presently fore-see any major organizational chan-ges." He expects to begin broad-casting FM stereo the summer be-fore the college begins classes in Arden Hills. Kingsbeck pointed out that the studio presently owns three tape decks, three professional turn ta-bles, a table for 45 RPM records and another in the recording room; eight preamplifiers for strengthen-ing the sound directly from the turn table, three monitor ampli-fiers, two program amplifiers, and one large power amplifier for broadcasting directly up to the Coffee Shop; and eight older, aux-iliary amplifiers to supplement when needed. "We also have an open p.o. for suggestions (box 2044) and will al-ways seek improvement," Kings-beck assured. Monday, opening night, he extends a general invi-tation (with punch and donuts) for anyone interested in visiting the studio below the Coffee Shop. Friday, October 4, 1968 Bethel's Faculty and Student Committee on Minority Groups al-ready has met twice, and plans are underway for tapping campus opinion. Questionaires relating to students' feelings will be circula-ted, and results will be tallied by the middle of October. On the basis of Bragg's former experience with minority recruit-ing, the data of other campuses' reactions, and the position the poll determines, Bethel will know what course of action to pursue. Bragg admitted, "The Blacks will have to adjust to us, but we will have more difficulty adjusting to them." There will be stress on both sides. First the problems and re-sponsibilities for accommodation must be identified. General atti-tudes, financing, and academic needs are a few issues that need to be probed. Full membership in the Bethel community would en-tail equal responsibilities and rights. What reaction would Beth-elites have to the dating aspect, which has appeared as a problem in other colleges? Bragg has contacts with high school counselors, members of the "Upward Bound" program, and . Black missions from his work with-in the Chicago area. At Bethel he will also work with Minnesota high school counselors and the Confer-ence and its missions. "There's no problem getting Black students. The problem will be in our screening, finding those Bethel can accept and serve," Bragg sighted. In other colleges the Blacks' pat-tern has been consistent. One or two won't stay. Either they will leave or else will come in a group. At Aurora College Bragg said they started with three or four Blacks, but within five years they were eighty or ninety. Under a careful-ly instituted program the percent-age will rise tremendously. From an informal census in which members of the Bethel com-munity have committed themselves in conversation, it appears that Bethelites realize that something must be done. The test now is if the earnest concern extends to the extent of advancing openly tow-ards minority recruitment. Christ The Tiger By Tom.

In fact, it was while she was working on her masters degree that she met Dewey (her hus-band), who is an instructor of poli-tical science at Augsburg College. In answer to inevitable com-ments about her "appropriate" name, Mrs. Dewey simply main-tains that "it would be a shame to change to the Library of Con-gress classification of books!" During graduate school and two years afterwards Mrs. Dewey was assistant librarian at Northwestern. She also worked in the University of Missouri library while her hus-band was in graduate school there. When she was director of instruc-tional resources at the St. Louis (Mo.) Junior College library, she worked closely with architects on plans for a new library on that campus. Thus, Mrs. Dewey is looking for-ward to conferences with the ar-chitects for organizing the library area of the new campus. Besides more spacious study and book stack areas, she also anticipates at least four or five conference rooms for student use and at least one typing room, with several type-writers provided, in the new cam-pus library. With the new librarian occupy-ing the office just south of the check-out desk, the former librar-ian's office at the southeast cor-ner of the library mezzanine has been set aside this year as a conference room. The area is to be used on a first-come-first-served basis and will be convenient for Student senate from page 2 clarification or else the correction of mistaken wording or order. NSA student discount cards will again be sought. NSA provides an employment service for college seniors and a record club with a low membership fee and without minimum purchase regulations. Materials such as these are avail-able to interested students. Here in the Bethel community the Senate desires to have the Cof-fee Shop opened at 11:10 a.m. and to have the same area available to students until 12 midnight. Leonard Sammons, senior sena-tor, submitted his resignation. It will be effective October 14. Sam-mons will continue at his post as Election Board Chairman. Although most of the work was routine, the Senate handled itself with the dispatch and personal re-straint that student associations should be able to expect. students working on group projects or persons who wish to use their own typewriters in the library, ac-cording to Mrs. Dewey. Another project embarked upon this year is that of a central col-lection of audio-visual equipment in the library to be checked out by instructors in the various de-partments. Added to the library's 50,000 vol-umes and more than 400 magazine subscriptions this year is a col-lection of catalogues of all major graduate schools. The rack of cata-logues is to be placed near the pamphlet file, Mrs. Dewey said. Library hours have been extend-ed this year to 10:30 p.m. daily, in line with the extension of resi-dence hall hours. No major policies or library procedures have been changed this year, Mrs. Dewey said. She noted that in the evenings the li-brary is generally filled to capa-city and is "just not big enough," although librarians attempt to keep a proper study atmosphere. A $25,000 budget provision for . Since September 23, the Junior Varsity football team has played two games, tying their first game and losing the second. In the first, they met the Still-water State Prison football team at Stillwater. The inmates had a definite weight advantage, however the Royals were a 'bit speedier and in better physical condition. The score of the . contest was 6-6. Good fortune rested with the Royals as another Stillwater touchdown was called back because of a penalty. In the third period, Bethel re-covered a Stillwater fumble deep in the opponents territory, and, af-ter a short drive, Ric Bakstrom drove off tackle for the score. The extra point attempt didn't even get off the ground as a well-timed safety blitz stopped the action com-pletely. On Monday of this week, the Junior Varsity played the varsity team from Golden Valley Lutheran Junior College. After having been beaten by Stillwater two weeks the library this year is about $9,- 000 more than last year, but still not an exceeding amount consider-ing the rising prices of reading materials, Mrs. Dewey said. Bethel's library has several other new faces and positions this year in addition to about 25 student library employees. James Sheldon, who was former-ly music librarian, this year is in charge of technical services. Mrs. Helen Doble is new to the library staff and is Sheldon's full-time as-sistant. Mrs. Art Lewis, who is also a part-time instrumental music in-structor at Bethel, has accepted the position of music ,librarian. Miss Mary Leimberer has re-turned as head of circulation and Mrs. Joan Lethert is order clerk. With Mrs. Dewey as full-time li-brarian, Miss Carol Christensen, assistant, devotes almost full time to her position as readers' advisor. Ke is in the library from 1:30 to 10:30 p.m. daily, assisting stu-dents with particular questions and research work. ago, they came back to down the Royals by a score of 28-13. Golden Valley went out in front in the first quarter with two quick scores for a 14-0 lead. Then, in the second quarter, the Royals put on a good rush and blocked a punt attempt by Golden Valley from their own end zone. After a scramble, Jim Johnson recovered the ball within Golden Valley's end zone to close the gap with a 14-6 score. Golden Valley scored again to bring the half-time total to 21-6 in their favor. Each team scored again in the third period. For Bethel, Bob Olsen crashed over from the seven yard-line, ter-minating a long Royal drive that began near midfield. The extra point attempt 'by Cal Harfst was good, and the final score stood at 28-13, for Golden Valley. The Junior Varsity will be play-ing three more games this season, the next one being October 7 with Pillsbury.

Snelling/Across from Har-Mar/Phone 631-1414 Surprising faculty wins to highlight I-M scene by Jim Youngquist The Royals failed for the fourth straight time to roar from their cage. This time they were tamed by Northland 21-7. Though the final spread was 14 points, the score did not portray the actual closeness of the game. Winless in their previous attempts, the Royals showed determination as they took the field. Following a hard week of practice there was hunger for a victory. In the end, however, the result was the same. Bethel was faced again with the fact that winning is not easy when seven points is the limit in their scoring. Fans for the first time this sea-son were given something to cheer about despite the loss. Until the final stanza the two teams were deadlocked 7-7. It was anyone's guess who would finally end up the victor. The Royals appeared to have the better team and were outplaying Northland. But it was the last punch that carried the Lumberjacks to victory. Final statistics showed Bethel with an amazing 240 total yards. This was more than the first three games put together. Bethel led in net yards gained in rushing 133 yards to 86 for Northland. However, Northland led in pass-ing with a total of 114 yards to 107, though having but six com-pletions. Al Selander passed for 12 completions in 25 attempts, go-ing for 97 yards in the air. Three of his passes, however, were inter-cepted by Northland, one account-ing for a touchdown. Murray Sitte, getting his first shot at quarter-back, hit on 2 of 4 passes. Costly The Bethel cross country team lost to Hamline and Gustavus last Saturday but all of the Royal har-riers bettered their previous times. The meet was held at the Como Course. The final scoring at Saturday's triangular meet found Hamline with 34 points, Gustavus with 43, and Bethel closely following Gus-tavus with 44. Bethel's Bill Gei-gert captured second, Rich Swan-son placed sixth, Dick Olson fin-ished ninth, Phil James came in thirteenth, and Brad Olsson plac-ed fourteenth. (In cross country, the lowest team score wins. Team scores are based on the sum of the - places of the teams first five finishers.) to Bethel was the loss of two fum-bles. However the Royals held a definite edge over Northland in first downs. They had a 15 to 8 edge with 9 coming by rushing. The game opened under condi-tions quite the opposite from last week's slush. Passing for a first down, Bethel began a quick drive. It was shortlived though, bringing Swedberg in to punt. A 51-yard punt into the end zone marked the beginning of an-other excellent punting day. To-taling seven for the day, Fred av-eraged 42.7 yards per kick, keep-ing his season average near the 40-yard mark. Following an exchange of punts, the Royals again charged. Launch-ing their drive from the 35-yard line of Northland, three first downs left them first and goal on the 3. Here was Bethel's opportunity for the first lead of the season. Fans sat anxiously, anticipating a plunge into the end zone. But the play was to have a cooling ef-fect as a pass went astray, landing in an opponent's hands. The result —a 100 yard run back by Sam Komp, and Northland led 7-0. Not to be outdone, the Royals stomped back for another drive. Again it was killed. Northland, tak-ing over on their own 13, drove to the 35 of Bethel and a first down. With fourth down and four yards, they went for a first down but Tom Swanson dumped quarterback Mark Willman for a ten yard loss. In the closing minutes of the half Bethel began a drive from the 41 of Northland. Defensive pass interference brought a first down on the 28. On third down a pass Coach Glader is pleased with his men's performances. "We have what is perhaps the best cross coutry team we've ever had at Bethel," he said. Unfortunately, however, improved quality is not limited to the Bethel team. As Glader immediately added, "Ev-eryone else is getting better, too." The cross country team resumes competition today when they run against River Falls (Wisconsin) at 4 p.m. at the Como Course. Their next meet will be on Saturday when they travel to St. Peter, Min-nesota to compete against host Gustavus Adolphus, St. Thomas College, and. Southwestern Junior College. by Wally Borner Saturday, September 28, brought a big surprise to the intramural sports scene. The faculty, who in the past have occasionally acquired the nick-name Faulty Faculty, fielded an eight man team, and then to surprise everyone further, they won. Third New was the unfortunate victim of faculty wrath as they lost by a. narrow 13-12 margin. Jack "Scrambler" Trager ran over from the five for the Faculty's first score, and then passed to Dick Steinhouse for the extra point. Their second score was a fifty yard bomb from Trager to Stein-house. In the closing seconds, Third New was behind 13-6, their ice breaker coming from a pass from Larry Ostrom to Rollie Kingsley. The same combination connected for a second TD to bring them within one but the extra point try was unsuccessful to tie down the Faculty victory. Dale Saxon and Dan Larson pro-vided most of the day's fireworks as they led Falcon to a 25-0 white-wash over the New Dorm. Saxon passed to Larson for touchdowns of 35, 50, and 40 yards and also connected with Steve Hanson for a 70-yard score. Wayne Carpenter was the recipient of the only ex-tra point Falcon could make. Third Old whitewashed a six man team from First Floor by a en opportunities, failed to capital-ize on them. This Saturday the University of Minnesota, Morris will meet the Royals. It will be Bethel's fourth straight home game. The Royals will be out fighting as a loss would extinguish any hopes for a win-ning season. 23-0 score. Al Berg tossed to Tim Hieb and ran for the first and last Third Old TD's. Dave Maurer in-tercepted a pass and ran it back 25 yards for the other. The squad's tenacious defense also scored when John Larson put two points on the board with a safety. In the last shut-out of the day, Second New defeated Second Old by a 15-0 margin. Gary Hasselblad connected with Gordy Nordmark and converted for a 7-0 lead with Rick Berggren. In the second half, Rory (Nord-mark) scored the young season's third safety. To cap off the scor-ing, Rick Berggren caught a 10- yard pass from Hasselblad. Lowly Pit was the only spoiler as they forfeited to an eager and strong team from Off Campus. Dale Saxon now leads all quar-terbacks by a comfortable margin, after the first two weeks of the campaign. The former All-Star End has tossed five scoring passes and added two extra points to put up' 32 points to his credit. Hasselblad, a former All-Star Halfback, and frosh Rob Graben-kort of First Floor take up second place with 13 points. Dan Larson leads in the regular scoring department with 25 points while Jim Feldman has 13, and Rollie Kingsley 12 to round out the top three.

Four plays later Bethel scored on a one yard run with Don Swanson carry-ing. Cal Harfst split the goal posts on the extra-point kick making the score 7-7. Neither team managed to pro-pell a serious drive until the fourth quarter. Taking the ball from the mid-field, Northland scored in seven plays. A 27-yard pass to Carl Livingston gave the oppo-nents a 14-7 lead. Before t h e Royals could think of scoring, the Lumberjacks were back at it again. On first down, after a Bethel punt, Ronnie Jones, a 5'8" freshman, ran right through the defense for 52 yards and a TD.
