E: Ivt Nt FOUNDED Marriage rule revision would limit paternalism A proposed change in Bethel's student marriage regulation is the "result of good constructive stu-dent initiative," according to Dr. Alfred Glenn, chairman of the stu-dent personnel committee instru-mental in calling for the revision. The faculty was scheduled to vote today on the revision which states: "Any student marrying dur-ing the school year must write his plans to the Student Services Of-fice to clear past and future hous-ing arrangements, scholarship eli-gibility, and any other appropriate planning." The previous marriage regula-tion, which has been in effect for many years and is included in the 1968 catalog, states: "Any person becoming married during the school year will be required to withdraw from school at the time of marriage and will not be eli-gible for re-enrollment for at least a semester. Under certain unusual circumstances, marriage will be permitted by special action of the administration." A spokesman for the student personnel committee reported that its thinking in working for the revision was that the school has manifested arbitrary paternalism toward students and added unnec-essary requirements through the existing regulation. If a student is a minor, he first has to get his parents' permission to marry anyhow. If he is not a minor, the question is brought up as to what right the college has to prohibit his marriage. It was pointed out that the col-lege's main interest in effecting the previous regulation was for the sake of counseling contacts with students — "helping them to make the right decision." A student's marriage plan does effect the school records on matters of hous-ing, changed status, etc., and stu-dents who are doing poorly aca-demically or having social or emo-tional problems were occasionally advised to postpone marriage plans. With the proposed new regula-tion, the school would still have an opportunity for counseling but could not inflict a penalty if the student decides against its advise. State Fair dates hinder plans for proposed 4-0-4 calendar year Bethel's administration is con-sidering a schedule change for the 1969-70 school year. According to the proposed 4-0-4 calendar, first semester will end before Christ-mas, and second semester will be-gin the third or fourth week in January and end about mid-May. Both the faculty and the student senate have endorsed the change, and it will go into effect if several problems can be solved, college of-ficials said. The biggest problem with the change is one that is unique to Bethel and to our present campus. until the State Fair is over. While the State Fair is going on there are no parking places anywhere near campus, and it would be prac-tically impossible for students to move into the dorms. Next fall the last day of the Fair (Labor Day) is September 1, so there would be no problem. But the next year Labor Day is not until September 7, and that would cause problems. If the change is instituted, there will probably be no Welcome Week retreat. Dr. Paul Finlay, registrar, said that the first four Saturdays of the semester could be used to orientate new students. Discussion has also included a possibility that Founders Week could be held during the period be-tween semesters, so that it would have less of a disruptive effect on classes. Vol. XLII—No. 19 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. In order to finish the first sem-ester before Christmas without giving up class time, it would be necessary to begin at least a week earlier. Thus, registration would have to be the first week in Sept- Thursday, February 27, 1969 ember. But nothing can begin at Bethel Faculty votes today College choir joins in concert tonight-- Then on to New York's Carnegie Hall by Richard Trinity An apparent cacophony issuing from the college building in late afternoons during the past few months will culminate tonight as the Bethel College Choir— armed with 30 pitchpipes, a l95-page score and a little nervousness—will head for the Cathedral of St. Paul. Joining with three other local choirs and the Min-nesota Orchestra, the choir will participate in a per-formance of what is said to be one of the world's most talked of musical works, "The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke." The work is by Krzystof Penderecki, Poland's great contemporary composer. It received its world premiere in Poland several years ago and was first performed in the United States in Minneapolis early this year. One week from tonight Bethel Choir is also scheduled to perform the work in its New York pre-miere in Carnegie Hall. Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, music director of the Minnesota Orchestra (formerly Minneapolis Sympho-ny), will conduct the production which includes Mac-alester College Choir, St. Catherine and St. Thomas Chorale, Cathedral of St. Paul Boys' Choir and the Minnesota Orchestra. Nearly four months of hard work and many long hours of practice has gone into the choir's preparation as a result of its high honor of being selected to perform the work. In addition to regular rehearsals, the choir went on a two-day retreat practicing an average of 10 hours a day, spent several three-hour evening sessions and a three-hour morning session of practice, and a dress rehearsal practicing both alone and with other choirs and the orchestra. Extra sectional rehearsals were held as the needs demanded. The necessity for so much rehearsal time was mainly the new, unfamiliar vocal techniques and their indication on the score. The choir had to learn to produce such things as the highest or lowest pitch an individual could sing, chanting, loud whispering, yelling, whistling (several students had to learn for the first time), rising and falling "t", "p" and "d" consonant sounds, talking and jeering laughter. For added variety, these skills fell into three groups or combinations of unison, ad-lib and staggered entrances. All of these were done in a 12-tone (no key) quarter step, whole notes not necessarily whole, frequent time changes (sometimes every one of two measures), weird glissando, and two species of Latin words environment. When the four choirs and orchestra are performing together, one can easily imagine the necessity for an arsenal of pitchpipes and alert concentration. When the choir was initially challenged with these minor obstacles, in addition to the familiar music media, some members enthusiastically offered to mem-orize the piece. But Dr. Robert Berglund said it wouldn't be necessary (195 pages? Whew!). The listener should be certain to read the words in English in his program for each section in order to appreciate the moods and visual scenes Penderecki produces by auditory means (such as the angry crowd, darkness at the third hour). The event begins with Jesus praying in Gethsemane and ends with His "It is finished" utterance as He dies. If one listens closely, in section 20 he will hear James Magnuson's one-note solo. Actually, he sings the second half of the word "omnia" with a morendo glissando (like a man falling off a cliff). A Macalester comrade sings the first half of the word. This is one illustration of the way many words are divided among the choirs and soloists. The choir has found it a tremendously satisfying and enlightening experience to tackle and perform such a piece. Students interested in attending tonight's perform-ance may purchase tickets at the door for the cost of $2.00. Report calls prayer proposal "meaningless" Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R., Ill.) will push again in the 91st Con-gress for the approval of an am-endment to the Constitution for the right of people, lawfully as-sembled, to engage in "nonde-nominational prayer" in public buildings. The Dirksen prayer pro-posal is identical with the one he introduced in the 90th Congress. The current proposed prayer amendment is now under active consideration by the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The subcommittee may schedule hearings on the amendment. The decision to hold hearings or not should be forthcoming in March. The Dirksen amendment states: "Nothing contained in this Consti-tution shall abridge the right of persons lawfully assembled, in any public building which is supported in whole or in part through the ex-penditure of public funds, to par-ticipate in nondenominational pray-er." The staff of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs, C. Emanuel Carlson, executive direc-tor, isued a special report on the revised Dirksen proposal. The re-port states that the new Dirksen amendment could be viewed as "meaningless." It might be argued, the staff pointed out, that the pro-posal does nothing more than the First Amendment already guaran-tees. The provision for the right to participate in "nondenominational prayer" raises more serious ques-tions for the Baptist committee staff. It observes: "The proposed amendment ties the right of per-sons to 'nondenominational' pray-ers only. Would this mean that if a group of Baptist students got to-gether at lunch in a public school to pray, the location of their prayer would determine that it had to be `nondenominational'? That is, does the proposal limit present rights?" WHAT'S THE SCORE? Bethel College Choir members were a bit incredulous when they were first presented with the 195-page work, "The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke," with the corn-poser's completely original score indications. But after four months of hard work, they're ready to tackle their first per-formance. Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, February 27, 1969 Let's cancel all classes during Founders Week In the aftermath of the 26th Annual Founders Week, it becomes the 26th annual time to rethink the idea of holding such a conference on the college campus. This issue gets tossed about every year with good suggestions and bad suggestions. Probably the only plausible suggestion for a major change in recent years has been to have the historic week during sem-ester break. Since that first February 26 years back, the campus has been inundated with alumni, pastors, and various other sorts. Students have been subjected to unusually slow lunch lines, limited study time, and even deprived of the necessary facili-ties of the gym with which they run off their weekly frustra-tions. The whole idea is not that there shouldn't be a Founders Week, or that it should not be held on campus where it will cause the students a lot of grief, but that we should follow the precedent of the Seminary and cancel all classes and assign-ments. With a conference like the one just ended, it is ironic that students should have to attend classes during the day and then have assignments in the evening while at the same time being encouraged to attend sessions. And all this is not to mention the fact that some professors even scheduled tests during that fateful week. Founders Week is for the students, also, and if we say that one of the purposes of Bethel College is to prepare a taskforce of effective, educated Christian laymen and pastors, the school is not doing its part when such a paradox of scheduling is extant. Speakers like Myron Augsburger and Art Blessitt are so oriented to youth and their problems that they went out of their way to speak to students. Monday night, Blessitt was in the cottee shop until 11:30 talking to students. He was also on campus at 8:00 Saturday morning answering questions from students in the almost packed college auditorium. In conjunction with the Peace Club, Myron Augsburger spoke and answered questions in the Edgren lounge for one and a half hours. Many students were there who were honestly concerned about war and peace. A conference like the one we have just experienced has something for everyone. President Lundquist must be compli-mented, at least, for the arrangements of Founders Week. However, next year, it must be kept in mind that the students may want to be involved without guilt complexes due to dusty course books. We must either follow the example of the seminary or schedule the Week during semester break. If the school does institute the proposed 4-0-4 calendar system, then the alternative is all set up for a January Founders Week. Obviously, the college won't make the same mistake for the 27th time in a row. Peace table draws praise Columnist reacts Can revolution, religion mix? (Editor's note: Founders Week was a great suc-cess in the estimation of the majority of students and guests on campus. But even more than that, through various news media many of the week's activities were shared with much of the local and area secular community. Following is reprinted from the St. Paul Dispatch, the Feb. 18 weekly "North Wind" column by Roger Gratiot, general news col-umnist for the north area.) According to Dr. Carl Lundquist, president of Beth-el College and Seminary, today's revolutionist often has more in common with the Christian gospel than he or the general public realize. "In fact," he said, "the basic values underlying a large part of the current revolt movement are Chris-tian values." These values include the insistence that every human being is important, that material security does not have the highest priority, that love ought to characterize our relationships, that rights are worth suffering for, that action should square with pro-fession (that means practice what you preach), that we need not fear striking off in new directions, and that what ought to be done ought to be done now. When one reads daily of campus rioting it's hard to equate all this with religion of ony type until you consider what else Lundquist has to say. He observes that Jesus believed all of the above. "He too was impatient," he said, "with the religious establishment of His day. He dreamed of a world of peace and love and integrity. And he died to make it possible. His revolution, however, begins within." And that is what an impressive list of religious leaders are going to explore this week during Found-ers Week on the Bethel campus. They, unlike the im-petuous rabble making today's headlines, believe life must be remade from inside and then worked out insofar as possible within the structures of society. And you can bet your boots it won't be a week filled with pious platitudes. Each speaker is a unique expert in his particular field and a couple of them will be able to "tell it like it is" because they have lived it. Arthur Blessit, for example, has a ministry to hippies, yippies and drop-outs, through a nightclub called "His Place" on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. He's like the circuit rider priest of old except his territory encompasses the night life crowd. David Wilkerson works with "down and out" teen-agers in New York and has written a book, 'The Cross and the Switchblade" which has sold over a million copies. It seems so refreshing to learn of a group advoca-ting change, yet willing to think things through so that they may take reasoned action. 904efedeird Week 7969 To the Editor: In my work I meet many young people who take for granted that military service is required for all young Americans except f o r "preachers, priests, and the rich." They are convinced that there are only two alternatives — military service or jail. It is the duty of the church to inform its constituency that there are other alternatives. Most people are completely ignor-ant of different alternatives, for the most common comment is "When the Army calls, you gotta go." I believe the church should help young men make moral decisions by providing literature, counsel, and opportunities to discuss the complicated social issues of war, peace, vio'ence, draft, resistance, pacifism, international relations, communism. Young men of draft age are faced with a momentous moral de-cision which demands sympathetic understanding, disciplined study, and fervent prayer. To participate in war is a decision which cannot be made lightly or in ignorance. This desire to be enlightened and to have some control over personal destiny is certainly not unchristian or unpatriotic. Silence on the part of the church only confirms the belief that the church and the military have an unwritten alliance. The church by its acquiescence supports the mili-tary establishment. Blind accept-ance of other programs, philoso-phies, and policies is not the way of enlightened Christians who have been freed from all earthly mas-ters to serve the Lord of light and life. I hope that the removal of the Peace literature table during Foun-ders Week is not symbolic of our refusal to face honestly a particularly moral issue. We can not afford the luxury of cheap grace which confines the gospel to only the non-historical. Christ has called us to affirm life, peace, justice, truth in the historical con-text of the world. If our Christian witness is to mean anything in these revolution-ary times, we must openly and hon-estly face the moral issues of our day with the illumination and pow-er of Christ. Sincerely, Richard Westby (Richard Westby was the direct-or of the Bethel Center until the work there was discontinued. He is now a part-time interim pastor at the Faith Mennonite Church, and he is continuing to work with some of the programs formerly held at the Center.) BETHEL FORUM Is the money ratio unfair? To the editor: "The college is concerned .. . with providing pre-ministerial and lay leadership training. Vocations outside of church work, however, are also viewed as sacred."—Bethel College Catalogue These being officially stated pre-cepts, it seems neither fair nor proper that while college tuition increases greatly (44% in my brief life here and it is due to increase again), seminary tuition remains relatively low. One reason for this is that general fund contributions to Bethel are divided in a 74-26 seminary-college ratio. When one views the number of seminarians compared with the number of col-lege students, this discrepancy be-comes difficult to justify. Continually we college students are being reminded of our re-sponsibility to the Bethel image. The reason is obvious — a bad image is not conducive to the max-imal solicitation of gifts. Yet we of the college are receiving little of this money and it becomes dif-ficult for us to enthusiastically ral-ly around the image, at Founders Week or any other time. The seemingly fair system of dis-tribution would be to implement a student-to-student ratio between the college and seminary, allowing for the fact that expenses therein are different. Besides equity, there would be two major by-products of such a distribution—the rendering of college tuition increases unnec-essary and the fair expectation of college personnel to help in the formulation and preservation of their own public image. Leonard Ray Sammons Student offers `guilt' alteration To the editor: Originally this letter began as a usual critical reaction to Found-ers Week. However, yeilding to some of my conservative values (those relating to time and space), I decided to make it brief and quite limited. The basic idea came as an inspiration which I received during Bill Bright's speech on "Copping-out on real life problems with Jesus Christ". It comes as a mere alteration of a suggestion of Mr. Bright's. I recommend that we begin making lists of all the people who make us feel guilty, and then burn the lists!

Holly-. wood's "corrupt" practice of movie making has made its way to Beth-el's very own chemistry depart-ment (of all places.) As a result of an alumni grant of $600 awarded last spring to Dr. James Rodgers, head of the department of Chemis-try at Bethel, the school may well be on its way to notoriety or ac-claim. But before making any snap judgments or declaring war on the department give ear to the good doctor's plans. The philosophy behind making his own films is that of the "mas-ter" teacher. That is, in writing his own script and filming his own techniques "a teacher is in com-plete control of his curriculum," Rodgers points out. In "doing his own thing" a pro-fessor can film exactly what he wants his students to see without confusion or needless repetition. Because the films are consistent with a particular professor's cur-riculum and pertinent to the exact problem under study they become just as much a part of the course as text or notes. And the student can work an experiment by obser-vation — no muss, no fuss! Besides, it's cheap — relatively anyhow. (This should prove inter-esting to the business office.) A 5-minute reel can be produced for as little as $16 plus time and en-ergy, Rodgers said, with duplicates at $6. Initial costs for a Bolex 150 and accessory equipment amounted to $400, Rodgers noted. Along with saving money, home-made movies save time and in-crease accuracy in technique dem-onstration and can prove a valuable source of review for many a per-spiring young chemist. A change of data each year can be effected by a simple splice, by Nancy Larson Working with the theme "Chris-tian Witness in Revolutionary Times," Mrs. Robert Nelson de-signed a woodcut for Founders Week. Quite a number of things can be read into the hands repre-sented. Too much explanation would take away from the signifi-cance of it, since individual inter-pretation is of major importance. In the original printing for the Founders Week schedules the col-ors chosen have special signifi-cance. The background is the neu-tral shade of grey-green. Red and and sound can be added if desired. Dr. Rodgers adds that such a project can even benefit the teach-er by returning him to the "prim-itive" situation of the student—yes, he said "primitive"—by forcing him, in developing a script, to ex-plore every possible hang-up his pupils might have. At present Rodgers is practicing his filming technique on such up-and- coming stars as his two sons, James and Mark, whose stage-names are J. Thaddeus and M. The-obald Shagnasty, respectively. Considerations are even being made to commence filming a ser-ies of silver compound experiments for use this very semester on those unsuspecting general Chemistry students. Auditions for the part of the "Anonymous Hands" are being held at Rodger's convenience. It is now up to the other dis-ciplines of study at Bethel to latch onto this new teaching technique where originality is the name of the game. black ink, used in printing the hands, represent symbols of strength. The clenched fist being red, because of the revolutionary connotation. Opposites in disposition are evi-denced in the hands portrayed. The uplifted hands are symbolic of the Christian witness. The general spir-itual encounter of Christians is most important in our times rather than that of pulpit preaching. Thus the everyday witness is stressed. The clenched fist signifies the rev-olutionary times of protest and re-bellion of today's society. Thursday, February 27, 1969 Bethel Students, Get out your calendars — you're on the pro-gram! During the school week of March 17 through 21 the Religious Committee will have various rooms set aside on campus for small groups to meet and discuss the very crucial topic of "Church Re-newal." It is hoped that each group will meet Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday of t hat week. Questions as well as sug-gestions raised at these meetings will then be compiled at a final meeting to be held on Thursday evening, March 20, and then pre-sented to the entire student body in a chapel service. As supplementary to the recent Founders Week in which many students were encouraged again to present the good news of Jesus Christ to the everyday world, the religious committee desires to join the hands of the many on campus who are questioning the role of— as well as their role in — the institutional church. With all this anticipation, all students are invited to "be on the program" by taking part in these group discussions — March 17 through 21. (Exact times will ap-pear in next week's Clarion.) Maybe it's time to cast our nets on the other side. the CLARION Page 3 Mrs. Nelson designs cover for Founder's Week theme ebaint 31)igbfigbt5 Coeval stimulates campus creativity by Pastor Maurice Lawson Dan Bauman and Robert Guelich, professors in our seminary who have always had a warm relation-ship with our College, will have charge of our Monday chapel.

"The idea was to make as many short issues as the budget would permit, to get constructive feedback from the student body so the Coeval could be a growing thing" stated Esther Pearson, edi-tor. Concurring in the drive for flex-ibility and further creativity in the Coeval were staff members Jef-frey Loomis, Associate Editor, Bruce Lawson, and (first semester) Betty Dumse. The Coeval's budget this year was $750. Approximately $200 was spent on the first issue, which had an emphasis on poetry. In an ef-fort to expand the Coeval into further levels of artistic expres-sion, prizes were offered for writ-ing compositions and art work in the second issue. Three prizes were granted for woodcuts: Dave Moss, first; Gary Wilson, second; and Woody Dahl-berg, third. First prize for creative criticism was awarded to Duane Perkins. This artistic emphasis on the second issue was reflected in its greater cost—$300. (Words are cheaper than pictures.) About $150 was given out in prize money and photography and layout; photo-graphy was done by Donovan Kra-mer, and layout by Gary Wilson. Thus, with limited funds left for a third issue, costs will be cut by concentrating on prose and poetry works and cutting the num-ber of copies printed to 300. How-ever, out of fairness to musicians, a prize will be awarded for the best musical composition entered. It will be published in the May issue of Coeval. The date for submitting art-work, compositions, prose, and po-etry has been extended to March 8. Anyone may submit a piece for consideration, however it must be understood that the editors are very selective in what they pub-lish. This year, the Coeval has been a potent expression of a limited but significant literary and artistic a-wareness on Bethel's campus. In reflection, Editor Pearson states "the Coeval was never meant to be a 'scandal sheet.' We wanted to allow the creative energies of lit-erary- minded Bethel students as full an expresion as possible." With all the limitations imposed upon the Coeval by finances and other factors, it nevertheless has un-dauntedly served as an uplifting, creative, and positive part of the Bethel community.

If you said Leonardo de Vinci you're wrong. It's Ron Pederson. Ron is one of those rare animals that can do it all. He writes his own lyrics and puts them to music. The result can't be appreciated unless you hear it for your-self. It'll convince you that what you learned in Fine Arts was wrong (Myrbo vs. Berglund, 1968). For instance, it is Ron who has penned the immut-able lines of "Out in the west central town of Willmar, I fell in love with a Norwegian girl," a touching love story about Hilda who has a hairy father named Berle, and which Ron has set the the tune of "Out in the west Texas town of El Paso." The idyllic setting of the poem's opening lines is forcefully shattered midway through when "I bounced off his gullet like sweat off a bullet/And right into cannister three.- There ". . . I swallowed eight bars of fresh bougthen Ex-lax/Ya, I was sure set for the rest of the year." The song consequently ends on a somber note. "Oh, Hilda and me we were finished with that/She was so sad that she cried/But I wouldn't marry cuz Berle he was hairy/So Hilda eventually died." Even though COEVAL has yet to latch on to it, don't let that fool you. Humor, in its way, can say some profound things. Like Ron sings in the chorus of another song, "I hate dirty sox/But you wear dirty sox/ So I love dirty sox/Cuz I love you." It would be unfair to leave a discussion of Ron's esthetic creations without mentioning a composition that sings to the tune of "More like the Master." It goes: "More in the basket/Basketballs should go/More through the netting/Players it should throw/Wouldn't it be ideal/If we would never miss?/We would never lose a game/And fans would never hiss." FROM FIFTH GRADE TO "FAME" Speaking of basketball, Ron's accomplishments on the court even outshine his literary and artistic re-nown. Last Saturday, in fact, he became only the second collegian in Minnesota history to score 2,000 points during a career. That's not too bad for a fel-low who, Ron admits with a modest grin, was the worst player on the starting five of his fifth grade team. Four of the five stalwarts on that Pee Wee team played together all the way up to the high school varsity level where, as starters, they helped pace Willmar to outstanding seasons during Ron's last two years. Pedeson had grown, from a 5'11" freshman, to a full 6'5" by the end of his junior year, his first as a starter on the Willmar varsity. Every day during the previous summer he had shot baskets and worked on various moves his coach had given him to practice. It paid off with Ron cracking the starting lineup in the third game of the season. With Pederson averag-ing 11 points a game, Willmar won their district title but fell to Edina in their region tourney. Willmar won its way into the region tournament again during Ron's senior year, as he paced a very balanced attack, scoring at a clip of 17 points per game. Two of his mates sported 15 point averages, while the guards added 11 and 10 point averages to the starting five. As fate would have it, Willmar came within one step of the state tourney, losing to the eventual state champs, Minnetonka, in the regional finals. Ron was named to the All-Region Tournament team and was also an All-State selection. His only comparable honor at Bethel came when he was named to an All-Dorm team following an Edgren basketball tournament. BASKETBALL AT BETHEL A turning point in Pederson's career came when he enrolled at Bethel. Gerald Healy, who finished a lotg tenure as head basketball coach during Ron's freshman year, publicly hailed him as "no doubt one of the outstanding frosh prospects ever to enroll at Bethel . . . a great rebounder and an able scorer." "He almost set a goal for me to work up to my freshman year. I had to produce," Ron said. In ad-dition the Bethel squad lacked the balance to which he had been accustomed, making his contribution all the more important. Also the opportunity to play regularly as a freshman built Ron's confidence and helped him improve. "Healy gave me confidence in myself that I didn't have before," Ron said, and it turned out to be that confidence that opened the doors of collegiate star-dom for the 6' 6" Willmar ace. Ron made further strides as a sophomore, playing under the tutelage of new coach Mac Nettleton. "Nettleton taught me more than any coach," ac-cording to Pederson. "He taught me moves from outside and underneath." Although Ron feels he has leveled off during the past two seasons, he has relent-lessly shattered old records while pushing his own records higher and higher with each game. Pederson is thinking about pro basketball but right now he doesn't feel ready. "My defense is weak, and I don't have that many moves on the outside," Ron, who has played center this year, said. "I'd have, to play forward in pro ball." If I could spend the summer out east in a basketball camp, playing against tough competition, I might have a chance of making it next fall." Of course, military service will likely interfere with that opportunity. 'I he highlights of Ron's career are tied up in win-ning. He admitted that even the ceremony following Saturday's game in which he scored his 2,000th point was "depressing when the team that has just beat you is standing there, watching the presentation." Consequently, the real highlight of his entire cage career came as a Bethel freshman in a 89-93 defeat of same Morris team against which he tallied his 2,000th point. Ron rippled the nets for 30 points in that game, a come-from-behind victory which av-eraged an earlier loss to the Cougars at Morris. Twenty-one of Pederson's points came in the second half, after he had sat out much of the opening half with foul trouble. The game was also a notable one record-wise for Ron as he broke Bethel's season re-bounding record. Ron has never been thrilled by Bethel fan sup-port. (The Founders were the worst fans, he said!) Vocal support during warm-ups has always been nil. "It really helps to have people there during warm-ups." Ron said. He also added that "the band's been worthless; they never get there until the game, starts." Part of the problem, Pederson 'believes, is that the "attitudes of a lot of faculty and administration people just seems to crush athletics." For instance, having to practice half court for Morris because of Founders Week (and for Macalester because of Fes-tival of Christmas) really hurt the team. Yet the people involved "thought they were doing us a favor just by letting us practice half-court." Athletic schol-arships and a willingness to invest a "decent amount" of money in sports is needed if Bethel is to boast athletic teams of which the college can justly be proud. TONIGHT — THE END OF AN ERA Tonight, for the last time, Ron will don number twenty-four and lead the Royals onto the home floor. St. John's will provide the opposition for Ron's final game as a collegian, and by virtue of their just-won MIAC championship, the Johnnies must be reckoned as the top team in the state. They have already de-feated the Royals 83-73 on their homecourt. Ron has only set one goal for his last game — "I want this one to be good." From a team standpoint, "I'll consider it a good season if we beat St. John's" Ron said. "Otherwise . . ." "Their fans gave us such a raw deal up there," he added, with a just noticeable tinge of bitterness in his voice. "I've been thinking ahead to St. John's for a long time." Then he added wistfully, after a little pause, that it would be nice if the "band and fans could get there early, making a lot of noise during warm-ups and right through the game. It could help a lot." Tonight, as Ron Pederson brings his illustrious career to a close, it would seem only fitting if his last performance was in a jammed Bethel fieldhouse. As one player said, "It's been a real privilege to play on the same team as Ron." Bethel fans have a similar privilege which they've never fully appreciated. To-night they have one last chance to show appreciation for a four-year era that will likely remain unparal-leled. And who knows? If the fans get there early and in force, perhaps they could have the honor of par-ticipating in the upset of the year. There's nothing Ron would rather do than end his collegiate compe-tition with that kind of a "highlight." Maybe it would even replace the Morris game of his freshman year as the highlight of his basketball career. This is how Ron has rewritten Bethel's record book: SINGLE GAME — Points 46 Ron shares this one with Don Moore. Rebounds 30 The book doesn't list the previous record-holder. It just lists the six best performances, and Ron has turned in all of those. SEASON — Points 604 1967-68 ( Ron has 592 this year with one game left.) Next highest: Dave Bjorklund-495.

Thursday, February 27, 1969 the CLARION Page 5 "A line of communication be-tween Bethel and the outside world," is what Mark Kingsbeck, station manager, hopes to accom-plish this semester through WBCS'. During the last semester, the WBCS staff has been experiment-ing, revitalizing and developing various aspects of its broadcasting philosophy. "We're trying to get away from the stereotype Christian radio station in order to get through to people who don't regu-larly listen to Christian stations and religious programs," Kingsbeck said. As an example of the staff's con-victions that carefully selected ("auditioned, censored or what ever one wants to call it") secular music can carry a message is one of its newest programs, "Perspective Three." Thoughts from contempor-ary Christian intellectuals are mixed and matched with secular by Dan A. Nelson With a foot and a half of snow on the ground it is hard to believe that the Royal baseball team has its home opener in just six weeks with Mankato at Dunning field. Possibly spring is coming after all. Jack Trager, coaching baseball for his first year, has nine letter-men returning. These are pitchers Bob Brodin and Lowell Richardson; catchers Bill Englund and Bill Painter; outfielders Randy Stauter, music themes during the hour-long, twice-a-week show. Establishing a semi-contempor-ary tone for the young station seems especially important to WB-CS as it anticipates an eventual increase of power and switching to FM stereo. But its first respon-sibility is to its listening audience on campus. WBCS has attempted this last semester to experiment in the field of radio, as well as to re-arrange its programming accord-ing to the majority of student re• actions to the first semester em-phasis, Kingsbeck said Shows including "Up Beat," "Young Sound," "The Search," "Reach Out," and "Horizons" in-clude a varied diet—from solid and folk gospel music and Christian drama and narrative to broadway musicals, movie tracks, classical, pops and light rock music. Steve Hanson, and Don Craft; and infielders Dean Erickson and Tom Mesaros. Two of last year's lettermen have indicated that they will not play this year. The team lost three let-termen by graduation. Terry Muck, star infielder, signed a professional contract with the Atlanta raves organization so he is ineligible. A first meeting for the team will be 4 p.m. Friday in the fieldhouse. Practices will begin March 3 and Coach Trager invites anyone in-terested to come out for the team. The season consists of nineteen games of which seven are at home. Coach Trager could make no pre-diction on the team's success, but as in all sports, fan support will help very much. It should be a good season. Another new attempt this semes-ter to "get outside" is through the news department. Instead of "plugging in" to KQRS, a Twin City station, WBCS news director John Walker handles the daily newscasts of campus, local, nation-al and international news. Hourly a general review of the news of the day is followed by "Viewpoint," an editorial comment on one of the day's big news stories. Tentative plans are being laid for purchase of a first teletype ma-chine for WBCS and for the pur-chase of several turn tables and stereo tape deck equipment to re-place the somewhat worn out items donated to the station by KSTP. WBCS plans to cover this semes-ter's baseball games and hopes to be able to broadcast live next year's away basketball games. In line with its goal of bringing Bethel students to a closer rela-tionship to the outside world, WBCS has changed its motto from last semester's "New Dimension in Sound" to "In the Groove and on the Move," with WBCS radio. by Faith Zwemke A win and a loss marked the end of the regular season for the Bethel women's basketball team. Their final record now stands at five wins and five losses. Fairview again was the victim of a sound beating by Bethel on Feb. 24. Bethel trounced Fairview 45-1 maintaining a comfortable lead throughout the game. Bethel had some minor difficul-ties in the initial period, but be-fore the half they were on their way to victory. Finding the evaluations offered to be categorized as either witless ramblings or hilariously satirical quips, I commenced to record them word for word, this method of ex-pression being far more rewarding and less dangerous than para-phrase. Further, everyone knows that spontaneous honesty of expres-sion is of unquestionable worth. The Civil Aeronautics Board has recommended that airline youth fares be abolished because they are "unjustly discriminatory." The re-commendation, which came late in January, will go into effect thirty days after that time unless the Board reviews its decision and re-verses it. At present, twenty-four airlines offer the discounts, either a one-half or a one-third reduction. In the past the CAB has upheld the discounts as a legitimate way to promote airline traffic. Several bus Scoring for Bethel was quite ev-enly distributed as three players scored in double figures. Leading the team was Marilyn Edgar with 15 points, followed by Mary Lind-man with 14 and Karla Ask with 13. The loss for Bethel came against the U of M on Feb. 20, 40-26. The university sported a fine team com-bining excellent shooting and strong defending. Although the score implies that the U had complete command, this was not necessarily so. Both teams What more can I say? A bit taken aback by reactions of such an emp-ty nature, I commenced to go di-rectly to the source of the matter and consult the staff, namely the editor and co-editor to gain deeper insight into the matter, perhaps enabling me to discover the reason for such vague and distraught im-pressions as those given: "I love Christian prose, but it's only available in secular magazines. Ours, unfortunately, is considered a Christian magazine." companies instigated the reinvesti-gation of the discounts. The National Student Association has hired lawyers to fight the abo-lition of youth fares. They will argue that in view of the educa-tional, social, economic, and cul-tural benefits afforded by the youth fares, the fares should not be cancelled. Written arguments were present-ed to the CAB before February 26. Oral arguments will be made later. If the arguments are not successful, that Christmas trip home to Cali-fornia will double in price. 5-5 record played extremely good, clean bas-ketball and challenged each other significantly. ethel's main difficul-ty was inaccurate passing result-ing in a costly number of turn-overs. Marilyn Edgar again was top scorer bucketing 10 points, and Sarah Reasoner contributed an ad-ditional 8. The team has concluded their regular season play, but will cli-max the year with their participa-tion in a sportsday on Sat. March 1. Students react to Coeval, express varied opinions by Amory E.

Tate, Morris passing hogtie Bethel by Wally Borner Saturday night's basketball game was a study in frustration. The Cougars from the University of Minne-sota, Morris came to the Royals' lair with an of-fensive show which is not often equalled in small college basketball. Morris is averaging 83.5 points per game. Their high game was against Bethel earlier in the season when they scored 120 points. Bethel was in the game for the first few minutes. However, it did not take long for Morris to start picking apart the Royal defense with an amazing passing game. The Cougars played as if they had been together for several years. It was their confidence in themselves plus a well balanced team which knew what it was doing before they did it that defeated Bethel. Everyone was waiting for Pederson to score 13 points to give him a career mark of 2,000 but it had to wait till the second half. Bethel played a good of-fensive game, mainly on the strength of Bob Renwick's seven consecutive field goals before he missed one. On the other hand, Maclver and Starns were unstop-pable as they scored 15 and 14 respectively. The half ended with Bethel down by only 49-41. The second half found Bethel cold. Pederson scored 17 points, but other than that, no one could hit. Morris had a double threat. Whenever the Bethel defense loosened up, they fed the ball to Maclver. When the defense choked him off, Tate was unstop- SPORTS CALENDAR pable. Even when Maclver fouled out of the game, they had no trouble scoring. Tate, who is only 5' 9", pumped in 19 points in the second half. We can't say that Bethel didn't try. The Royals simply met one of the better teams in the state and were outmanned. Morris has been known to choke this year; however, their game here was an exhibition of how basketball should be played. In scoring 26 points against Morris, Pederson shoved his total points for the season to 592. Ron needs only 13 points to break his previous season scoring record of 604 which he attained last year. On the rebound side, he has 362 thus far. The record for season rebounds will be tougher as he would need 18 against St. John's tonight. The St. John's tilt is a very important game. For one thing, a win would put the season record at 12-13 which is quite respectable. It's always nice to have a sweet taste in one's mouth when the season is over. Several people, the team and lots of fans, are eager to get a shot at the Johnnies with a home court advantage. In Collegeville last December, Bethel lost by a score of 83-73. We know that St. John's has improved, but so has Bethel. They don't have an explosive offense; however, they are one of the strongest defensive teams in the country. Bethel can win if they move, pass quickly, and above all, think. Our boys have to be ready for this one mentally as well as physically. The fans want it badly enough. It's just a question of whether the squad wants it badly enough. Grapplers drubbed in finals Opening and closing matches haven't been too good for the Beth-el wrestlers this year. But there can only be two of such each season. Morris drubbed Bethel 25- 8 last Saturday night to close out the season at 10-8. Macalester had taken the season opener by a 29-6 score. Morris has not compiled an im-pressive record this year, but has had a tough schedule and has some fine wrestlers. Jeff Mourning ran up against one of these and only lost 4-2. His opponent is undefeated this year. The Rose brothers have also had good years. Mickey beat Greg Ek-bom 9-2 and Charley pinned Tom Swanson who was filling in at the 160-pound class. Dale Berry pleased the fans as he came off a long winless spell to defeat his foe 8-2. But it was Bob Olsen again who really stole the show. Almost im-mediately, he picked up his adver-sary, putting a pinning combination on him, and layed on the mat for a 25-second pin. WRESTLING BOX SCORES Bethel 8 Morris 25 123 Anderson (M) dec.

One such person is Larry Swanson, statistician for the Bethel basketball team. This may not sound very impres-sive at first, but, as coach Trager stated, "He spends a very signifi-cant amount of time doing this." There are numerous kinds of sta-tistics which must be kept besides just the number of points scored and rebounds. For example, such things as assists are recorded and even defensive errors of the op-posing team are noted so that they might be capitalized upon later. After the games have been play-ed, his work is by no means over. Larry first has to figure out what Sadeete Symposium by Wally Borner There is a little more to sportsmanship than just being polite on the court or field. There is more to it than being a humble winner or a gracious loser. When two athletic teams make up a contract to play one another, they both go into the contest with the good faith that all terms of the contract are fulfilled and that they will each play a good ball game with the better team winning. When the campus is filled with hundreds of alumni and a basketball game is scheduled so that they can see the Bethel team, they should be able to see some good basketball. It can be very disappointing for both the fans and the team when something less than the team shows up for the contest. So for those unaware of the events which transpired last Thursday during the Founders Week game, the Red Raiders from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, came up with-out their starting five. Bethel had no problem in winning the game, but it degenerated into something less than a well-played game. It also took away the opportunity to gain revenge after dropping an 84-69 decision to them on their home court. Supposedly, Northwestern had a chance to win their conference and having played Wednesday night and having a game the following Saturday night, they decided their boys needed a rest.We can rest assured, however, that providence caught up with them as Westmar soundly defeated them that evening. All we can do now is hope that Northwestern has learned a lesson, (not from losing that game, but Bethel's questioning of their action) and hope that next season we can get the kind of games that we intended when the schedule was made up. The Founders shouldn't have any worries for next year as we have already scheduled another team for that historic contest. * * * * The last, (and only) time I talked about the North Stars Hockey Club, they were going into a nosedive which took them to the cellar of the western division of the National Hockey League. January 19, the St. Louis Blues defeated the North Stars running their streak to fourteen games without a victory. And that was all for coach Johnny Muckler. Wren Blair, who was the coach and is the general manager, came down to take over the reins again. Since that time, the Stars have rung up an 8-5-1 record. It didn't take them long to get out of the cellar, and last Sunday, with a 7-2 win over Toronto, they tied Philadelphia for fourth place. In the NHL, each league has a play-off of the top four teams and those winners meet for the Stanley Cup, the World Series of Hockey. The Stars have won several of these games because of trades besides getting Blair back. Leo Boiven, Orban and Reid have helped a lot, and chances are that the Stars will finish third or possibly second. At any rate, they are a hockey club again. And they have an easy schedule left. Twelve games are against the Western division teams and only five against the East. So, keep an eye open. They may surprise a few people. Fouled Out: McIver all of these statistics mean and record them. Each week he com-piles and sends the results to the NAIA headquarters in Kansas City for recording. Newspaper articles and television sportcasts about Bethel's games and scores are also a result of his behind-the-scenes work. Another very important task that Larry has assumed is that of stu-dent manager for the basketball team during the games as there is no manager at the present time. Those who are familiar with ath-letics will agree that this job is important and time consuming, but equally inglorious. This, coupled with his job as statistician, amounts to a good deal of time and effort spent on his part, and it is greatly appreciated by the athletic depart-ment. 12 Bethel 68 Morris 90 I fg ft tp fg ft tp 17 Pederson 9 8 26 Maclver I I I 23 ST.

Transcript | E: Ivt Nt FOUNDED Marriage rule revision would limit paternalism A proposed change in Bethel's student marriage regulation is the "result of good constructive stu-dent initiative," according to Dr. Alfred Glenn, chairman of the stu-dent personnel committee instru-mental in calling for the revision. The faculty was scheduled to vote today on the revision which states: "Any student marrying dur-ing the school year must write his plans to the Student Services Of-fice to clear past and future hous-ing arrangements, scholarship eli-gibility, and any other appropriate planning." The previous marriage regula-tion, which has been in effect for many years and is included in the 1968 catalog, states: "Any person becoming married during the school year will be required to withdraw from school at the time of marriage and will not be eli-gible for re-enrollment for at least a semester. Under certain unusual circumstances, marriage will be permitted by special action of the administration." A spokesman for the student personnel committee reported that its thinking in working for the revision was that the school has manifested arbitrary paternalism toward students and added unnec-essary requirements through the existing regulation. If a student is a minor, he first has to get his parents' permission to marry anyhow. If he is not a minor, the question is brought up as to what right the college has to prohibit his marriage. It was pointed out that the col-lege's main interest in effecting the previous regulation was for the sake of counseling contacts with students — "helping them to make the right decision." A student's marriage plan does effect the school records on matters of hous-ing, changed status, etc., and stu-dents who are doing poorly aca-demically or having social or emo-tional problems were occasionally advised to postpone marriage plans. With the proposed new regula-tion, the school would still have an opportunity for counseling but could not inflict a penalty if the student decides against its advise. State Fair dates hinder plans for proposed 4-0-4 calendar year Bethel's administration is con-sidering a schedule change for the 1969-70 school year. According to the proposed 4-0-4 calendar, first semester will end before Christ-mas, and second semester will be-gin the third or fourth week in January and end about mid-May. Both the faculty and the student senate have endorsed the change, and it will go into effect if several problems can be solved, college of-ficials said. The biggest problem with the change is one that is unique to Bethel and to our present campus. until the State Fair is over. While the State Fair is going on there are no parking places anywhere near campus, and it would be prac-tically impossible for students to move into the dorms. Next fall the last day of the Fair (Labor Day) is September 1, so there would be no problem. But the next year Labor Day is not until September 7, and that would cause problems. If the change is instituted, there will probably be no Welcome Week retreat. Dr. Paul Finlay, registrar, said that the first four Saturdays of the semester could be used to orientate new students. Discussion has also included a possibility that Founders Week could be held during the period be-tween semesters, so that it would have less of a disruptive effect on classes. Vol. XLII—No. 19 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. In order to finish the first sem-ester before Christmas without giving up class time, it would be necessary to begin at least a week earlier. Thus, registration would have to be the first week in Sept- Thursday, February 27, 1969 ember. But nothing can begin at Bethel Faculty votes today College choir joins in concert tonight-- Then on to New York's Carnegie Hall by Richard Trinity An apparent cacophony issuing from the college building in late afternoons during the past few months will culminate tonight as the Bethel College Choir— armed with 30 pitchpipes, a l95-page score and a little nervousness—will head for the Cathedral of St. Paul. Joining with three other local choirs and the Min-nesota Orchestra, the choir will participate in a per-formance of what is said to be one of the world's most talked of musical works, "The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke." The work is by Krzystof Penderecki, Poland's great contemporary composer. It received its world premiere in Poland several years ago and was first performed in the United States in Minneapolis early this year. One week from tonight Bethel Choir is also scheduled to perform the work in its New York pre-miere in Carnegie Hall. Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, music director of the Minnesota Orchestra (formerly Minneapolis Sympho-ny), will conduct the production which includes Mac-alester College Choir, St. Catherine and St. Thomas Chorale, Cathedral of St. Paul Boys' Choir and the Minnesota Orchestra. Nearly four months of hard work and many long hours of practice has gone into the choir's preparation as a result of its high honor of being selected to perform the work. In addition to regular rehearsals, the choir went on a two-day retreat practicing an average of 10 hours a day, spent several three-hour evening sessions and a three-hour morning session of practice, and a dress rehearsal practicing both alone and with other choirs and the orchestra. Extra sectional rehearsals were held as the needs demanded. The necessity for so much rehearsal time was mainly the new, unfamiliar vocal techniques and their indication on the score. The choir had to learn to produce such things as the highest or lowest pitch an individual could sing, chanting, loud whispering, yelling, whistling (several students had to learn for the first time), rising and falling "t", "p" and "d" consonant sounds, talking and jeering laughter. For added variety, these skills fell into three groups or combinations of unison, ad-lib and staggered entrances. All of these were done in a 12-tone (no key) quarter step, whole notes not necessarily whole, frequent time changes (sometimes every one of two measures), weird glissando, and two species of Latin words environment. When the four choirs and orchestra are performing together, one can easily imagine the necessity for an arsenal of pitchpipes and alert concentration. When the choir was initially challenged with these minor obstacles, in addition to the familiar music media, some members enthusiastically offered to mem-orize the piece. But Dr. Robert Berglund said it wouldn't be necessary (195 pages? Whew!). The listener should be certain to read the words in English in his program for each section in order to appreciate the moods and visual scenes Penderecki produces by auditory means (such as the angry crowd, darkness at the third hour). The event begins with Jesus praying in Gethsemane and ends with His "It is finished" utterance as He dies. If one listens closely, in section 20 he will hear James Magnuson's one-note solo. Actually, he sings the second half of the word "omnia" with a morendo glissando (like a man falling off a cliff). A Macalester comrade sings the first half of the word. This is one illustration of the way many words are divided among the choirs and soloists. The choir has found it a tremendously satisfying and enlightening experience to tackle and perform such a piece. Students interested in attending tonight's perform-ance may purchase tickets at the door for the cost of $2.00. Report calls prayer proposal "meaningless" Sen. Everett M. Dirksen (R., Ill.) will push again in the 91st Con-gress for the approval of an am-endment to the Constitution for the right of people, lawfully as-sembled, to engage in "nonde-nominational prayer" in public buildings. The Dirksen prayer pro-posal is identical with the one he introduced in the 90th Congress. The current proposed prayer amendment is now under active consideration by the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The subcommittee may schedule hearings on the amendment. The decision to hold hearings or not should be forthcoming in March. The Dirksen amendment states: "Nothing contained in this Consti-tution shall abridge the right of persons lawfully assembled, in any public building which is supported in whole or in part through the ex-penditure of public funds, to par-ticipate in nondenominational pray-er." The staff of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs, C. Emanuel Carlson, executive direc-tor, isued a special report on the revised Dirksen proposal. The re-port states that the new Dirksen amendment could be viewed as "meaningless." It might be argued, the staff pointed out, that the pro-posal does nothing more than the First Amendment already guaran-tees. The provision for the right to participate in "nondenominational prayer" raises more serious ques-tions for the Baptist committee staff. It observes: "The proposed amendment ties the right of per-sons to 'nondenominational' pray-ers only. Would this mean that if a group of Baptist students got to-gether at lunch in a public school to pray, the location of their prayer would determine that it had to be `nondenominational'? That is, does the proposal limit present rights?" WHAT'S THE SCORE? Bethel College Choir members were a bit incredulous when they were first presented with the 195-page work, "The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke," with the corn-poser's completely original score indications. But after four months of hard work, they're ready to tackle their first per-formance. Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, February 27, 1969 Let's cancel all classes during Founders Week In the aftermath of the 26th Annual Founders Week, it becomes the 26th annual time to rethink the idea of holding such a conference on the college campus. This issue gets tossed about every year with good suggestions and bad suggestions. Probably the only plausible suggestion for a major change in recent years has been to have the historic week during sem-ester break. Since that first February 26 years back, the campus has been inundated with alumni, pastors, and various other sorts. Students have been subjected to unusually slow lunch lines, limited study time, and even deprived of the necessary facili-ties of the gym with which they run off their weekly frustra-tions. The whole idea is not that there shouldn't be a Founders Week, or that it should not be held on campus where it will cause the students a lot of grief, but that we should follow the precedent of the Seminary and cancel all classes and assign-ments. With a conference like the one just ended, it is ironic that students should have to attend classes during the day and then have assignments in the evening while at the same time being encouraged to attend sessions. And all this is not to mention the fact that some professors even scheduled tests during that fateful week. Founders Week is for the students, also, and if we say that one of the purposes of Bethel College is to prepare a taskforce of effective, educated Christian laymen and pastors, the school is not doing its part when such a paradox of scheduling is extant. Speakers like Myron Augsburger and Art Blessitt are so oriented to youth and their problems that they went out of their way to speak to students. Monday night, Blessitt was in the cottee shop until 11:30 talking to students. He was also on campus at 8:00 Saturday morning answering questions from students in the almost packed college auditorium. In conjunction with the Peace Club, Myron Augsburger spoke and answered questions in the Edgren lounge for one and a half hours. Many students were there who were honestly concerned about war and peace. A conference like the one we have just experienced has something for everyone. President Lundquist must be compli-mented, at least, for the arrangements of Founders Week. However, next year, it must be kept in mind that the students may want to be involved without guilt complexes due to dusty course books. We must either follow the example of the seminary or schedule the Week during semester break. If the school does institute the proposed 4-0-4 calendar system, then the alternative is all set up for a January Founders Week. Obviously, the college won't make the same mistake for the 27th time in a row. Peace table draws praise Columnist reacts Can revolution, religion mix? (Editor's note: Founders Week was a great suc-cess in the estimation of the majority of students and guests on campus. But even more than that, through various news media many of the week's activities were shared with much of the local and area secular community. Following is reprinted from the St. Paul Dispatch, the Feb. 18 weekly "North Wind" column by Roger Gratiot, general news col-umnist for the north area.) According to Dr. Carl Lundquist, president of Beth-el College and Seminary, today's revolutionist often has more in common with the Christian gospel than he or the general public realize. "In fact," he said, "the basic values underlying a large part of the current revolt movement are Chris-tian values." These values include the insistence that every human being is important, that material security does not have the highest priority, that love ought to characterize our relationships, that rights are worth suffering for, that action should square with pro-fession (that means practice what you preach), that we need not fear striking off in new directions, and that what ought to be done ought to be done now. When one reads daily of campus rioting it's hard to equate all this with religion of ony type until you consider what else Lundquist has to say. He observes that Jesus believed all of the above. "He too was impatient," he said, "with the religious establishment of His day. He dreamed of a world of peace and love and integrity. And he died to make it possible. His revolution, however, begins within." And that is what an impressive list of religious leaders are going to explore this week during Found-ers Week on the Bethel campus. They, unlike the im-petuous rabble making today's headlines, believe life must be remade from inside and then worked out insofar as possible within the structures of society. And you can bet your boots it won't be a week filled with pious platitudes. Each speaker is a unique expert in his particular field and a couple of them will be able to "tell it like it is" because they have lived it. Arthur Blessit, for example, has a ministry to hippies, yippies and drop-outs, through a nightclub called "His Place" on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. He's like the circuit rider priest of old except his territory encompasses the night life crowd. David Wilkerson works with "down and out" teen-agers in New York and has written a book, 'The Cross and the Switchblade" which has sold over a million copies. It seems so refreshing to learn of a group advoca-ting change, yet willing to think things through so that they may take reasoned action. 904efedeird Week 7969 To the Editor: In my work I meet many young people who take for granted that military service is required for all young Americans except f o r "preachers, priests, and the rich." They are convinced that there are only two alternatives — military service or jail. It is the duty of the church to inform its constituency that there are other alternatives. Most people are completely ignor-ant of different alternatives, for the most common comment is "When the Army calls, you gotta go." I believe the church should help young men make moral decisions by providing literature, counsel, and opportunities to discuss the complicated social issues of war, peace, vio'ence, draft, resistance, pacifism, international relations, communism. Young men of draft age are faced with a momentous moral de-cision which demands sympathetic understanding, disciplined study, and fervent prayer. To participate in war is a decision which cannot be made lightly or in ignorance. This desire to be enlightened and to have some control over personal destiny is certainly not unchristian or unpatriotic. Silence on the part of the church only confirms the belief that the church and the military have an unwritten alliance. The church by its acquiescence supports the mili-tary establishment. Blind accept-ance of other programs, philoso-phies, and policies is not the way of enlightened Christians who have been freed from all earthly mas-ters to serve the Lord of light and life. I hope that the removal of the Peace literature table during Foun-ders Week is not symbolic of our refusal to face honestly a particularly moral issue. We can not afford the luxury of cheap grace which confines the gospel to only the non-historical. Christ has called us to affirm life, peace, justice, truth in the historical con-text of the world. If our Christian witness is to mean anything in these revolution-ary times, we must openly and hon-estly face the moral issues of our day with the illumination and pow-er of Christ. Sincerely, Richard Westby (Richard Westby was the direct-or of the Bethel Center until the work there was discontinued. He is now a part-time interim pastor at the Faith Mennonite Church, and he is continuing to work with some of the programs formerly held at the Center.) BETHEL FORUM Is the money ratio unfair? To the editor: "The college is concerned .. . with providing pre-ministerial and lay leadership training. Vocations outside of church work, however, are also viewed as sacred."—Bethel College Catalogue These being officially stated pre-cepts, it seems neither fair nor proper that while college tuition increases greatly (44% in my brief life here and it is due to increase again), seminary tuition remains relatively low. One reason for this is that general fund contributions to Bethel are divided in a 74-26 seminary-college ratio. When one views the number of seminarians compared with the number of col-lege students, this discrepancy be-comes difficult to justify. Continually we college students are being reminded of our re-sponsibility to the Bethel image. The reason is obvious — a bad image is not conducive to the max-imal solicitation of gifts. Yet we of the college are receiving little of this money and it becomes dif-ficult for us to enthusiastically ral-ly around the image, at Founders Week or any other time. The seemingly fair system of dis-tribution would be to implement a student-to-student ratio between the college and seminary, allowing for the fact that expenses therein are different. Besides equity, there would be two major by-products of such a distribution—the rendering of college tuition increases unnec-essary and the fair expectation of college personnel to help in the formulation and preservation of their own public image. Leonard Ray Sammons Student offers `guilt' alteration To the editor: Originally this letter began as a usual critical reaction to Found-ers Week. However, yeilding to some of my conservative values (those relating to time and space), I decided to make it brief and quite limited. The basic idea came as an inspiration which I received during Bill Bright's speech on "Copping-out on real life problems with Jesus Christ". It comes as a mere alteration of a suggestion of Mr. Bright's. I recommend that we begin making lists of all the people who make us feel guilty, and then burn the lists!

Holly-. wood's "corrupt" practice of movie making has made its way to Beth-el's very own chemistry depart-ment (of all places.) As a result of an alumni grant of $600 awarded last spring to Dr. James Rodgers, head of the department of Chemis-try at Bethel, the school may well be on its way to notoriety or ac-claim. But before making any snap judgments or declaring war on the department give ear to the good doctor's plans. The philosophy behind making his own films is that of the "mas-ter" teacher. That is, in writing his own script and filming his own techniques "a teacher is in com-plete control of his curriculum," Rodgers points out. In "doing his own thing" a pro-fessor can film exactly what he wants his students to see without confusion or needless repetition. Because the films are consistent with a particular professor's cur-riculum and pertinent to the exact problem under study they become just as much a part of the course as text or notes. And the student can work an experiment by obser-vation — no muss, no fuss! Besides, it's cheap — relatively anyhow. (This should prove inter-esting to the business office.) A 5-minute reel can be produced for as little as $16 plus time and en-ergy, Rodgers said, with duplicates at $6. Initial costs for a Bolex 150 and accessory equipment amounted to $400, Rodgers noted. Along with saving money, home-made movies save time and in-crease accuracy in technique dem-onstration and can prove a valuable source of review for many a per-spiring young chemist. A change of data each year can be effected by a simple splice, by Nancy Larson Working with the theme "Chris-tian Witness in Revolutionary Times," Mrs. Robert Nelson de-signed a woodcut for Founders Week. Quite a number of things can be read into the hands repre-sented. Too much explanation would take away from the signifi-cance of it, since individual inter-pretation is of major importance. In the original printing for the Founders Week schedules the col-ors chosen have special signifi-cance. The background is the neu-tral shade of grey-green. Red and and sound can be added if desired. Dr. Rodgers adds that such a project can even benefit the teach-er by returning him to the "prim-itive" situation of the student—yes, he said "primitive"—by forcing him, in developing a script, to ex-plore every possible hang-up his pupils might have. At present Rodgers is practicing his filming technique on such up-and- coming stars as his two sons, James and Mark, whose stage-names are J. Thaddeus and M. The-obald Shagnasty, respectively. Considerations are even being made to commence filming a ser-ies of silver compound experiments for use this very semester on those unsuspecting general Chemistry students. Auditions for the part of the "Anonymous Hands" are being held at Rodger's convenience. It is now up to the other dis-ciplines of study at Bethel to latch onto this new teaching technique where originality is the name of the game. black ink, used in printing the hands, represent symbols of strength. The clenched fist being red, because of the revolutionary connotation. Opposites in disposition are evi-denced in the hands portrayed. The uplifted hands are symbolic of the Christian witness. The general spir-itual encounter of Christians is most important in our times rather than that of pulpit preaching. Thus the everyday witness is stressed. The clenched fist signifies the rev-olutionary times of protest and re-bellion of today's society. Thursday, February 27, 1969 Bethel Students, Get out your calendars — you're on the pro-gram! During the school week of March 17 through 21 the Religious Committee will have various rooms set aside on campus for small groups to meet and discuss the very crucial topic of "Church Re-newal." It is hoped that each group will meet Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday of t hat week. Questions as well as sug-gestions raised at these meetings will then be compiled at a final meeting to be held on Thursday evening, March 20, and then pre-sented to the entire student body in a chapel service. As supplementary to the recent Founders Week in which many students were encouraged again to present the good news of Jesus Christ to the everyday world, the religious committee desires to join the hands of the many on campus who are questioning the role of— as well as their role in — the institutional church. With all this anticipation, all students are invited to "be on the program" by taking part in these group discussions — March 17 through 21. (Exact times will ap-pear in next week's Clarion.) Maybe it's time to cast our nets on the other side. the CLARION Page 3 Mrs. Nelson designs cover for Founder's Week theme ebaint 31)igbfigbt5 Coeval stimulates campus creativity by Pastor Maurice Lawson Dan Bauman and Robert Guelich, professors in our seminary who have always had a warm relation-ship with our College, will have charge of our Monday chapel.

"The idea was to make as many short issues as the budget would permit, to get constructive feedback from the student body so the Coeval could be a growing thing" stated Esther Pearson, edi-tor. Concurring in the drive for flex-ibility and further creativity in the Coeval were staff members Jef-frey Loomis, Associate Editor, Bruce Lawson, and (first semester) Betty Dumse. The Coeval's budget this year was $750. Approximately $200 was spent on the first issue, which had an emphasis on poetry. In an ef-fort to expand the Coeval into further levels of artistic expres-sion, prizes were offered for writ-ing compositions and art work in the second issue. Three prizes were granted for woodcuts: Dave Moss, first; Gary Wilson, second; and Woody Dahl-berg, third. First prize for creative criticism was awarded to Duane Perkins. This artistic emphasis on the second issue was reflected in its greater cost—$300. (Words are cheaper than pictures.) About $150 was given out in prize money and photography and layout; photo-graphy was done by Donovan Kra-mer, and layout by Gary Wilson. Thus, with limited funds left for a third issue, costs will be cut by concentrating on prose and poetry works and cutting the num-ber of copies printed to 300. How-ever, out of fairness to musicians, a prize will be awarded for the best musical composition entered. It will be published in the May issue of Coeval. The date for submitting art-work, compositions, prose, and po-etry has been extended to March 8. Anyone may submit a piece for consideration, however it must be understood that the editors are very selective in what they pub-lish. This year, the Coeval has been a potent expression of a limited but significant literary and artistic a-wareness on Bethel's campus. In reflection, Editor Pearson states "the Coeval was never meant to be a 'scandal sheet.' We wanted to allow the creative energies of lit-erary- minded Bethel students as full an expresion as possible." With all the limitations imposed upon the Coeval by finances and other factors, it nevertheless has un-dauntedly served as an uplifting, creative, and positive part of the Bethel community.

If you said Leonardo de Vinci you're wrong. It's Ron Pederson. Ron is one of those rare animals that can do it all. He writes his own lyrics and puts them to music. The result can't be appreciated unless you hear it for your-self. It'll convince you that what you learned in Fine Arts was wrong (Myrbo vs. Berglund, 1968). For instance, it is Ron who has penned the immut-able lines of "Out in the west central town of Willmar, I fell in love with a Norwegian girl," a touching love story about Hilda who has a hairy father named Berle, and which Ron has set the the tune of "Out in the west Texas town of El Paso." The idyllic setting of the poem's opening lines is forcefully shattered midway through when "I bounced off his gullet like sweat off a bullet/And right into cannister three.- There ". . . I swallowed eight bars of fresh bougthen Ex-lax/Ya, I was sure set for the rest of the year." The song consequently ends on a somber note. "Oh, Hilda and me we were finished with that/She was so sad that she cried/But I wouldn't marry cuz Berle he was hairy/So Hilda eventually died." Even though COEVAL has yet to latch on to it, don't let that fool you. Humor, in its way, can say some profound things. Like Ron sings in the chorus of another song, "I hate dirty sox/But you wear dirty sox/ So I love dirty sox/Cuz I love you." It would be unfair to leave a discussion of Ron's esthetic creations without mentioning a composition that sings to the tune of "More like the Master." It goes: "More in the basket/Basketballs should go/More through the netting/Players it should throw/Wouldn't it be ideal/If we would never miss?/We would never lose a game/And fans would never hiss." FROM FIFTH GRADE TO "FAME" Speaking of basketball, Ron's accomplishments on the court even outshine his literary and artistic re-nown. Last Saturday, in fact, he became only the second collegian in Minnesota history to score 2,000 points during a career. That's not too bad for a fel-low who, Ron admits with a modest grin, was the worst player on the starting five of his fifth grade team. Four of the five stalwarts on that Pee Wee team played together all the way up to the high school varsity level where, as starters, they helped pace Willmar to outstanding seasons during Ron's last two years. Pedeson had grown, from a 5'11" freshman, to a full 6'5" by the end of his junior year, his first as a starter on the Willmar varsity. Every day during the previous summer he had shot baskets and worked on various moves his coach had given him to practice. It paid off with Ron cracking the starting lineup in the third game of the season. With Pederson averag-ing 11 points a game, Willmar won their district title but fell to Edina in their region tourney. Willmar won its way into the region tournament again during Ron's senior year, as he paced a very balanced attack, scoring at a clip of 17 points per game. Two of his mates sported 15 point averages, while the guards added 11 and 10 point averages to the starting five. As fate would have it, Willmar came within one step of the state tourney, losing to the eventual state champs, Minnetonka, in the regional finals. Ron was named to the All-Region Tournament team and was also an All-State selection. His only comparable honor at Bethel came when he was named to an All-Dorm team following an Edgren basketball tournament. BASKETBALL AT BETHEL A turning point in Pederson's career came when he enrolled at Bethel. Gerald Healy, who finished a lotg tenure as head basketball coach during Ron's freshman year, publicly hailed him as "no doubt one of the outstanding frosh prospects ever to enroll at Bethel . . . a great rebounder and an able scorer." "He almost set a goal for me to work up to my freshman year. I had to produce," Ron said. In ad-dition the Bethel squad lacked the balance to which he had been accustomed, making his contribution all the more important. Also the opportunity to play regularly as a freshman built Ron's confidence and helped him improve. "Healy gave me confidence in myself that I didn't have before," Ron said, and it turned out to be that confidence that opened the doors of collegiate star-dom for the 6' 6" Willmar ace. Ron made further strides as a sophomore, playing under the tutelage of new coach Mac Nettleton. "Nettleton taught me more than any coach," ac-cording to Pederson. "He taught me moves from outside and underneath." Although Ron feels he has leveled off during the past two seasons, he has relent-lessly shattered old records while pushing his own records higher and higher with each game. Pederson is thinking about pro basketball but right now he doesn't feel ready. "My defense is weak, and I don't have that many moves on the outside," Ron, who has played center this year, said. "I'd have, to play forward in pro ball." If I could spend the summer out east in a basketball camp, playing against tough competition, I might have a chance of making it next fall." Of course, military service will likely interfere with that opportunity. 'I he highlights of Ron's career are tied up in win-ning. He admitted that even the ceremony following Saturday's game in which he scored his 2,000th point was "depressing when the team that has just beat you is standing there, watching the presentation." Consequently, the real highlight of his entire cage career came as a Bethel freshman in a 89-93 defeat of same Morris team against which he tallied his 2,000th point. Ron rippled the nets for 30 points in that game, a come-from-behind victory which av-eraged an earlier loss to the Cougars at Morris. Twenty-one of Pederson's points came in the second half, after he had sat out much of the opening half with foul trouble. The game was also a notable one record-wise for Ron as he broke Bethel's season re-bounding record. Ron has never been thrilled by Bethel fan sup-port. (The Founders were the worst fans, he said!) Vocal support during warm-ups has always been nil. "It really helps to have people there during warm-ups." Ron said. He also added that "the band's been worthless; they never get there until the game, starts." Part of the problem, Pederson 'believes, is that the "attitudes of a lot of faculty and administration people just seems to crush athletics." For instance, having to practice half court for Morris because of Founders Week (and for Macalester because of Fes-tival of Christmas) really hurt the team. Yet the people involved "thought they were doing us a favor just by letting us practice half-court." Athletic schol-arships and a willingness to invest a "decent amount" of money in sports is needed if Bethel is to boast athletic teams of which the college can justly be proud. TONIGHT — THE END OF AN ERA Tonight, for the last time, Ron will don number twenty-four and lead the Royals onto the home floor. St. John's will provide the opposition for Ron's final game as a collegian, and by virtue of their just-won MIAC championship, the Johnnies must be reckoned as the top team in the state. They have already de-feated the Royals 83-73 on their homecourt. Ron has only set one goal for his last game — "I want this one to be good." From a team standpoint, "I'll consider it a good season if we beat St. John's" Ron said. "Otherwise . . ." "Their fans gave us such a raw deal up there," he added, with a just noticeable tinge of bitterness in his voice. "I've been thinking ahead to St. John's for a long time." Then he added wistfully, after a little pause, that it would be nice if the "band and fans could get there early, making a lot of noise during warm-ups and right through the game. It could help a lot." Tonight, as Ron Pederson brings his illustrious career to a close, it would seem only fitting if his last performance was in a jammed Bethel fieldhouse. As one player said, "It's been a real privilege to play on the same team as Ron." Bethel fans have a similar privilege which they've never fully appreciated. To-night they have one last chance to show appreciation for a four-year era that will likely remain unparal-leled. And who knows? If the fans get there early and in force, perhaps they could have the honor of par-ticipating in the upset of the year. There's nothing Ron would rather do than end his collegiate compe-tition with that kind of a "highlight." Maybe it would even replace the Morris game of his freshman year as the highlight of his basketball career. This is how Ron has rewritten Bethel's record book: SINGLE GAME — Points 46 Ron shares this one with Don Moore. Rebounds 30 The book doesn't list the previous record-holder. It just lists the six best performances, and Ron has turned in all of those. SEASON — Points 604 1967-68 ( Ron has 592 this year with one game left.) Next highest: Dave Bjorklund-495.

Thursday, February 27, 1969 the CLARION Page 5 "A line of communication be-tween Bethel and the outside world," is what Mark Kingsbeck, station manager, hopes to accom-plish this semester through WBCS'. During the last semester, the WBCS staff has been experiment-ing, revitalizing and developing various aspects of its broadcasting philosophy. "We're trying to get away from the stereotype Christian radio station in order to get through to people who don't regu-larly listen to Christian stations and religious programs," Kingsbeck said. As an example of the staff's con-victions that carefully selected ("auditioned, censored or what ever one wants to call it") secular music can carry a message is one of its newest programs, "Perspective Three." Thoughts from contempor-ary Christian intellectuals are mixed and matched with secular by Dan A. Nelson With a foot and a half of snow on the ground it is hard to believe that the Royal baseball team has its home opener in just six weeks with Mankato at Dunning field. Possibly spring is coming after all. Jack Trager, coaching baseball for his first year, has nine letter-men returning. These are pitchers Bob Brodin and Lowell Richardson; catchers Bill Englund and Bill Painter; outfielders Randy Stauter, music themes during the hour-long, twice-a-week show. Establishing a semi-contempor-ary tone for the young station seems especially important to WB-CS as it anticipates an eventual increase of power and switching to FM stereo. But its first respon-sibility is to its listening audience on campus. WBCS has attempted this last semester to experiment in the field of radio, as well as to re-arrange its programming accord-ing to the majority of student re• actions to the first semester em-phasis, Kingsbeck said Shows including "Up Beat," "Young Sound," "The Search," "Reach Out," and "Horizons" in-clude a varied diet—from solid and folk gospel music and Christian drama and narrative to broadway musicals, movie tracks, classical, pops and light rock music. Steve Hanson, and Don Craft; and infielders Dean Erickson and Tom Mesaros. Two of last year's lettermen have indicated that they will not play this year. The team lost three let-termen by graduation. Terry Muck, star infielder, signed a professional contract with the Atlanta raves organization so he is ineligible. A first meeting for the team will be 4 p.m. Friday in the fieldhouse. Practices will begin March 3 and Coach Trager invites anyone in-terested to come out for the team. The season consists of nineteen games of which seven are at home. Coach Trager could make no pre-diction on the team's success, but as in all sports, fan support will help very much. It should be a good season. Another new attempt this semes-ter to "get outside" is through the news department. Instead of "plugging in" to KQRS, a Twin City station, WBCS news director John Walker handles the daily newscasts of campus, local, nation-al and international news. Hourly a general review of the news of the day is followed by "Viewpoint," an editorial comment on one of the day's big news stories. Tentative plans are being laid for purchase of a first teletype ma-chine for WBCS and for the pur-chase of several turn tables and stereo tape deck equipment to re-place the somewhat worn out items donated to the station by KSTP. WBCS plans to cover this semes-ter's baseball games and hopes to be able to broadcast live next year's away basketball games. In line with its goal of bringing Bethel students to a closer rela-tionship to the outside world, WBCS has changed its motto from last semester's "New Dimension in Sound" to "In the Groove and on the Move," with WBCS radio. by Faith Zwemke A win and a loss marked the end of the regular season for the Bethel women's basketball team. Their final record now stands at five wins and five losses. Fairview again was the victim of a sound beating by Bethel on Feb. 24. Bethel trounced Fairview 45-1 maintaining a comfortable lead throughout the game. Bethel had some minor difficul-ties in the initial period, but be-fore the half they were on their way to victory. Finding the evaluations offered to be categorized as either witless ramblings or hilariously satirical quips, I commenced to record them word for word, this method of ex-pression being far more rewarding and less dangerous than para-phrase. Further, everyone knows that spontaneous honesty of expres-sion is of unquestionable worth. The Civil Aeronautics Board has recommended that airline youth fares be abolished because they are "unjustly discriminatory." The re-commendation, which came late in January, will go into effect thirty days after that time unless the Board reviews its decision and re-verses it. At present, twenty-four airlines offer the discounts, either a one-half or a one-third reduction. In the past the CAB has upheld the discounts as a legitimate way to promote airline traffic. Several bus Scoring for Bethel was quite ev-enly distributed as three players scored in double figures. Leading the team was Marilyn Edgar with 15 points, followed by Mary Lind-man with 14 and Karla Ask with 13. The loss for Bethel came against the U of M on Feb. 20, 40-26. The university sported a fine team com-bining excellent shooting and strong defending. Although the score implies that the U had complete command, this was not necessarily so. Both teams What more can I say? A bit taken aback by reactions of such an emp-ty nature, I commenced to go di-rectly to the source of the matter and consult the staff, namely the editor and co-editor to gain deeper insight into the matter, perhaps enabling me to discover the reason for such vague and distraught im-pressions as those given: "I love Christian prose, but it's only available in secular magazines. Ours, unfortunately, is considered a Christian magazine." companies instigated the reinvesti-gation of the discounts. The National Student Association has hired lawyers to fight the abo-lition of youth fares. They will argue that in view of the educa-tional, social, economic, and cul-tural benefits afforded by the youth fares, the fares should not be cancelled. Written arguments were present-ed to the CAB before February 26. Oral arguments will be made later. If the arguments are not successful, that Christmas trip home to Cali-fornia will double in price. 5-5 record played extremely good, clean bas-ketball and challenged each other significantly. ethel's main difficul-ty was inaccurate passing result-ing in a costly number of turn-overs. Marilyn Edgar again was top scorer bucketing 10 points, and Sarah Reasoner contributed an ad-ditional 8. The team has concluded their regular season play, but will cli-max the year with their participa-tion in a sportsday on Sat. March 1. Students react to Coeval, express varied opinions by Amory E.

Tate, Morris passing hogtie Bethel by Wally Borner Saturday night's basketball game was a study in frustration. The Cougars from the University of Minne-sota, Morris came to the Royals' lair with an of-fensive show which is not often equalled in small college basketball. Morris is averaging 83.5 points per game. Their high game was against Bethel earlier in the season when they scored 120 points. Bethel was in the game for the first few minutes. However, it did not take long for Morris to start picking apart the Royal defense with an amazing passing game. The Cougars played as if they had been together for several years. It was their confidence in themselves plus a well balanced team which knew what it was doing before they did it that defeated Bethel. Everyone was waiting for Pederson to score 13 points to give him a career mark of 2,000 but it had to wait till the second half. Bethel played a good of-fensive game, mainly on the strength of Bob Renwick's seven consecutive field goals before he missed one. On the other hand, Maclver and Starns were unstop-pable as they scored 15 and 14 respectively. The half ended with Bethel down by only 49-41. The second half found Bethel cold. Pederson scored 17 points, but other than that, no one could hit. Morris had a double threat. Whenever the Bethel defense loosened up, they fed the ball to Maclver. When the defense choked him off, Tate was unstop- SPORTS CALENDAR pable. Even when Maclver fouled out of the game, they had no trouble scoring. Tate, who is only 5' 9", pumped in 19 points in the second half. We can't say that Bethel didn't try. The Royals simply met one of the better teams in the state and were outmanned. Morris has been known to choke this year; however, their game here was an exhibition of how basketball should be played. In scoring 26 points against Morris, Pederson shoved his total points for the season to 592. Ron needs only 13 points to break his previous season scoring record of 604 which he attained last year. On the rebound side, he has 362 thus far. The record for season rebounds will be tougher as he would need 18 against St. John's tonight. The St. John's tilt is a very important game. For one thing, a win would put the season record at 12-13 which is quite respectable. It's always nice to have a sweet taste in one's mouth when the season is over. Several people, the team and lots of fans, are eager to get a shot at the Johnnies with a home court advantage. In Collegeville last December, Bethel lost by a score of 83-73. We know that St. John's has improved, but so has Bethel. They don't have an explosive offense; however, they are one of the strongest defensive teams in the country. Bethel can win if they move, pass quickly, and above all, think. Our boys have to be ready for this one mentally as well as physically. The fans want it badly enough. It's just a question of whether the squad wants it badly enough. Grapplers drubbed in finals Opening and closing matches haven't been too good for the Beth-el wrestlers this year. But there can only be two of such each season. Morris drubbed Bethel 25- 8 last Saturday night to close out the season at 10-8. Macalester had taken the season opener by a 29-6 score. Morris has not compiled an im-pressive record this year, but has had a tough schedule and has some fine wrestlers. Jeff Mourning ran up against one of these and only lost 4-2. His opponent is undefeated this year. The Rose brothers have also had good years. Mickey beat Greg Ek-bom 9-2 and Charley pinned Tom Swanson who was filling in at the 160-pound class. Dale Berry pleased the fans as he came off a long winless spell to defeat his foe 8-2. But it was Bob Olsen again who really stole the show. Almost im-mediately, he picked up his adver-sary, putting a pinning combination on him, and layed on the mat for a 25-second pin. WRESTLING BOX SCORES Bethel 8 Morris 25 123 Anderson (M) dec.

One such person is Larry Swanson, statistician for the Bethel basketball team. This may not sound very impres-sive at first, but, as coach Trager stated, "He spends a very signifi-cant amount of time doing this." There are numerous kinds of sta-tistics which must be kept besides just the number of points scored and rebounds. For example, such things as assists are recorded and even defensive errors of the op-posing team are noted so that they might be capitalized upon later. After the games have been play-ed, his work is by no means over. Larry first has to figure out what Sadeete Symposium by Wally Borner There is a little more to sportsmanship than just being polite on the court or field. There is more to it than being a humble winner or a gracious loser. When two athletic teams make up a contract to play one another, they both go into the contest with the good faith that all terms of the contract are fulfilled and that they will each play a good ball game with the better team winning. When the campus is filled with hundreds of alumni and a basketball game is scheduled so that they can see the Bethel team, they should be able to see some good basketball. It can be very disappointing for both the fans and the team when something less than the team shows up for the contest. So for those unaware of the events which transpired last Thursday during the Founders Week game, the Red Raiders from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, came up with-out their starting five. Bethel had no problem in winning the game, but it degenerated into something less than a well-played game. It also took away the opportunity to gain revenge after dropping an 84-69 decision to them on their home court. Supposedly, Northwestern had a chance to win their conference and having played Wednesday night and having a game the following Saturday night, they decided their boys needed a rest.We can rest assured, however, that providence caught up with them as Westmar soundly defeated them that evening. All we can do now is hope that Northwestern has learned a lesson, (not from losing that game, but Bethel's questioning of their action) and hope that next season we can get the kind of games that we intended when the schedule was made up. The Founders shouldn't have any worries for next year as we have already scheduled another team for that historic contest. * * * * The last, (and only) time I talked about the North Stars Hockey Club, they were going into a nosedive which took them to the cellar of the western division of the National Hockey League. January 19, the St. Louis Blues defeated the North Stars running their streak to fourteen games without a victory. And that was all for coach Johnny Muckler. Wren Blair, who was the coach and is the general manager, came down to take over the reins again. Since that time, the Stars have rung up an 8-5-1 record. It didn't take them long to get out of the cellar, and last Sunday, with a 7-2 win over Toronto, they tied Philadelphia for fourth place. In the NHL, each league has a play-off of the top four teams and those winners meet for the Stanley Cup, the World Series of Hockey. The Stars have won several of these games because of trades besides getting Blair back. Leo Boiven, Orban and Reid have helped a lot, and chances are that the Stars will finish third or possibly second. At any rate, they are a hockey club again. And they have an easy schedule left. Twelve games are against the Western division teams and only five against the East. So, keep an eye open. They may surprise a few people. Fouled Out: McIver all of these statistics mean and record them. Each week he com-piles and sends the results to the NAIA headquarters in Kansas City for recording. Newspaper articles and television sportcasts about Bethel's games and scores are also a result of his behind-the-scenes work. Another very important task that Larry has assumed is that of stu-dent manager for the basketball team during the games as there is no manager at the present time. Those who are familiar with ath-letics will agree that this job is important and time consuming, but equally inglorious. This, coupled with his job as statistician, amounts to a good deal of time and effort spent on his part, and it is greatly appreciated by the athletic depart-ment. 12 Bethel 68 Morris 90 I fg ft tp fg ft tp 17 Pederson 9 8 26 Maclver I I I 23 ST.
