by Faith Zwemke A potentially stimulating adventure in expression, interpretation, and communication is scheduled for April 1 and 2. Students will have the opportunity to be involved in Bethel's 1st Annual Forensic Festival sponsored by the speech department. The Festival evolves from a desire to provide, on a local level, an opportunity for experienced and particularly novice speakers to, in the words of Donald Rainbow, "catch the excitement and challenge of contest speaking." In addition to this, the sponsors feel that in a world becoming more and more dependent on com-munication it is essential that individuals increase and perfect their communicating skills. The contest is open to all Bethel students, and students may enter in one or more of the seven events. These include extemporaneous speaking, origi-nal oratory, rhetorical criticism, after-dinner speak-ing, prose interpretation, poetry interpretation, and readers' theatre. In keeping with the season, after-dinner speakers will have the privilege of expounding on the topic "April Fool." The number of contestants in each area is unlimited, and therefore competition will depend on student interest. A highlight of the Festival will be Wednesday evening, April 2. A banquet for all participants will be held and awards will be presented to the finalists in all events except after-dinner speaking. These finalists will give their presentations at the banquet. Trophies will be awarded to first place winners, and certificates will go to second and third place winners. A unique feature of the tournament re-volves around an individual sweepstakes award. This award will be given to the contestant with the highest number of total points. Points may be ac-cumulated in the following manner: 1 point for each event entered; 4 points for first place; 3 points for second place, and 2 points for third place. As in every contest, judges are a must, and thus far an impressive panel of judges have been selected. These are: Gerald Healy, English professor; Fred Lund, seminary student and former debate coach; Jim Conway, seminarian and graduate of Bethel speech department; Dennis Smith, speech major at the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and Mrs. Margaret Dewey, Bethel librarian. In addition to these, other judges may be added. Contestants will be judged primarily on their interpretation and delivery of the selection. In order that the events can be scheduled proper-ly, the deadline for registration has been set for Tues. March 25. Registrations and questions should be given to Marg Erickson, speech major and director of the tournament, or any of the speech instructors.

According to official sources, candidates for Association Presi-dent who had declared by the Mon-day deadline were David A. Shupe, Thomas W. Mesaros, Charles Myr-bo, Bruce Otto and Ronald L. Roper. (Sarah Robertson's name was also listed among the official declared candidates. However, she told the Clarion Tuesday that she had not declared her own candidacy and does not plan to file petitions.) Vice-Presidential candidates are Gregory Russell Saracoff, John D. by Marjorie Rusche A projected reduction of $31.5 million in federal funds in Nation-al Student Defense Loans will have a marked effect upon Bethel stu-dents if Congress adopts the pro-posed budget for next year. "Receiving money for grants, loans, scholarships from the feder-al government is a very complicat-ed affair," according to James Bragg, director of financial aids. Bragg noted that National Student Defense Loans, scholarships, and other financial aids are granted be-fore the school knows exactly how much funds are coming through. Throughout the year, a commit-tee of the Office of Education in Kansas City sends the school es-timates on how much money they Goodman, Maurice Zaffke, and Richard Berggren. Candidates for Senator-at-large include Wendell Wahlin, A. Dean Pearson, Marjorie M. Rusche, Patricia Faxon, and El-don John Elseth. The class of 1970's three seats are being sought by Steven Lam-brides, Linda Sparks, Pamela Nor-dell, and Janet Hurt. The three seats of the Class of 1971 have been declared for by Karen Anne Nelson andDouglas F. Warring. The Class of 197 has Wendell Wahlin, Thomas Ford, Philip E. Humbert, and Le-land Granlund as candidates for its four seats. A primary election will be ne-cessary for Association President and Vice-President if all the declar-ed candidates maintain their candi-dacy. The primary will be Friday from noon to 4 p.m. concurrent to the referendum on the questions of women's housing. feel will actually come through from the federal government. Last March funds were estimated at $73,294; last August $70,300. In December, 1968, the school finally received word of what funds would be received for '67-68 — $73,413. Bethel had originally applied for $131,715.00. For the year '69-70, Bethel has applied for $132,527.70 in govern-ment funds. "The first estima-tion of what Bethel actually will receive should be coming shortly," Bragg stated. "Reports are out that Minnesota schools will get approx-imately 62% of their requests."

The $75 tuition increase per semester, determined this week after final budget planning, will raise total tuition cost to $1,450 per year. Contrary to earlier specula-tions, no room and board in-crease was cited. It was noted that the amount would cover in its entirety the proposed semes-ter- interim-semester program.

Students receiv-ing aid last year must re-apply. The dealine for receiving applica-tions is May 1. The Financial Aids office is pres-ently giving out awards to incoming freshmen, instead of waiting until May as has been done in past years. This should reduce the num-ber of "no shows" in September, Bragg said. A description of the various fi-nancial aids available to students will be forthcoming in students' P.O.'s from the Financial Aids Of-fice. Information concerning finan-cial aids is also given on pages 50- 60 of the college catalogue. Contemporary music will be fea-tured at the annual concert of Bethel College Concert Band at 8 p.m. Friday in the fieldhouse. "Passacaglia," written by Alfred Reed, a leading composer for band medium, gives a contemporary set-ting to one of the oldest forms of western instrumental music. This piece follows a traditional form, making it one of the few examples of such for the modern concert band. Gail Klemetti, flutist and a mu-sic major from Albuquerque, New Mexico, will be soloist in "Night Soliloquy." A highlight of the concert will be an original composition, "The Turmoil of Triumph" composed by Edwin Wilmington. Under the direction of Julius Whitinger, the band will present a varied program, beginning with a selection from "Fanfares For the Common Man." Other selections on the program include "Overture from Candide," a many-faceted piece by Leonard Bernstein; a med-ley of Negro spirituals; and a march, "Dawn of Peace." Several members of the band will leave their own sections to play percussion instruments, a few of which were newly purchased in time for the concert. Claves, gourd, temple blocks, timbales, Chinese gong, timpani, brass drum and tambourine will combine with the rest of the band to make "Incan-tation and Dance" an exciting cli-max to the evening (See "Candidates speak out," page 2) Fund reduction threatens Bethel's loan program LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS %fre co Iss5 men-"r" COLIC i SOON WILL VOL!

THOMAS W. MESAROS We at Bethel live in a three-sided community composed of ad-ministration, faculty and students. As a Christian community the ini-tial bond that ties the three sides together is our faith in the Lord. But still there are times of dis-content and rumbles between these groups. Name calling, gossip, unsound accusations and worst of all judge-ments of our fellows' faith still arise within our community. A goal we should consider for the coming year is establishing a campus community with mutual re-spect. We must work together on an equal plane; one side can not expect to dominate over the other two or two sides form a majority tyranny over the third. But in the framework of understanding, con-sideration, co-operation and com-promise we can work to build our community strong. We must weigh each problem in consideration of one another being strong in our own opinion but open to new ideas, realities of the past, and necessary changes. And we as students have our own sub-community in which we dwell everyday. We too, must have mutual respect among ourselves. From the Peace Club to the B.W.A. we should have a unity which can be applied to the whole communi- To the editor: The editorial of March 13, 1969, about the necessity of giving the disciplinary committee better guidelines and the article on the same page dealing with the hours for entertaining and curfew in the women's apartment bilding are re-lated in an often overlooked way. Let's be candid with ourselves. Despite all the rhetoric one reads (or hears) about the educational or social benefits of the women's cur-few (like it gives them more time to study and it helps teach them to regulate their social activities and it keeps them well-protected to curb parental anxieties), one is forced to feel that women are dis-criminated against in this way be-cause they, unlike men, can become pregnant. (I hope I have not unduly alarmed or informed anybody with the statement of this fact of life.) And women do not help the public image of their school one bit by displaying family tendencies in this way.

CHUCK MYRBO As a Christian college in a so-ciety which seems to be bent ov rejecting Christianity, Bethel is in an often difficult, often exciting, position. As students at a Chris-tian college, we are in a position which too often turns out to be only difficult. We are on both ends of the generation gap, and the process of finding a defensible position on the fence in the middle somewhere is often a frustrating one. We are a part of the fundamental church, one of the most conservative seg-ments of society. But we are still a part of a generation which has rebelled against even the liberal segments of that society. And so we come to Bethel, trying to find a way to allow our faith to ease our frustration. And we become more frustrated, because at Bethel there is an undercurrent which defines the ideal student as the most conservative student. We can tell what we are "supposed" to be, and we do not want to be . that. If Bethel is to be more exciting than difficult, it must take a posi-tive attitude rather than a negative one, and must redefine the "ideal" to fit the actual norm. The senate and the president, acting as a sort of go-between for the administration and the student body, can play an important role in effecting this change. BRUCE OTTO The major role of the Student Senate and Student Association President is to represent the stu-they were not students could live under their own circumstances, the spirit of distrust is manifested in curfew and entertaining regula-tions at Bethel. But let us be fair. Although distrust of one's sisters in Christ does not seem to 'be a Christian trait, students here do not set a perfect example for their faculty and administration colleagues. We too may use nice-sounding phrases to cover it, but our questions about such things as disciplinary "au-thority" betray us. Personally, I am willing to be frank—I do not trust any disci-plinary force in this school. And although I will concede that this may be a sign of paranoia, this is a field in which I do not feel iso-lated. And this distrust also seems unChristian. To summarize: Curfew establish-ment, aside from capitalizing on possible masochistic traits of the Bethel female, is based on distrust of the ladies curfewed. Likewise, student concern for such things as procedural due process (as de-monstrated by common suspicions, the support many of us give the Joint Statement, and the Senate Resolution on Due Process of No-vember 20, 1968 among other things) is based on a distrust of disciplinary forces. (This distrust is mitigated somewhat by a con-cern for the obligations of contract to be mutual, unlike the curfew case.) Distrust between Christian bro-thers and sisters (a relationship in-herent in the concept of any "Chris-tian" community—the filial rela-tionship is direct to God) is un- Christian. Therefore, in at least these two areas, Bethel is sick and in need of the Great Physician. Let us Pray for community peace. Leonard Ray Sammons dents and present their ideas to the administration. Through vari ous committees arid appointments to faculty committees this goal can be achieved. There should be student repre-sentation on all faculty commit-tees. The students should also take the initiative to voice their opin-ions on all New Campus plans, ranging from building programs to policy. These and other ideas can only be carried through if the students become involved and concerned a-bout what is happening around them. Student involvement is the base for a sound and effective Student Senate. RONALD L. ROPER All of human life is religion. That is, not "ritual," or "ecclesias-ticism," but the inescapable posi-tion before God. All human activi-ty is service either to the one true God, or to an idol: "humanity," the "common good," etc. The respon-sibility of any Christian in office is to openly avow his adherence to the Scriptures. There is no pos-sibility of any person acting from a position of "neutrality"; such an assertion is either from ignorance or deception. I therefore affirm the necessity to admit one's 'beliefs, even in political action. In this re-gard, I uphold the Bible as norma-tive, and will continue to do so. Moreover, it is crucial to deter-mine where a candidate's respon-sibility lies. This is determined by his view of authority. Again, a correct understanding can only be deduced from the written Word of God. Here we discover that total sovereignty is an attribute of God alone; all human authority is de-rived therefrom. Authority is not derived from "the people." Furthermore government must not rule by popular consent but by principle. These must be deriv-ed from Scripture, by communal endeavor, upon past legislative cont'd on page 5 Discipline, women's hours raise issue of mutual "distrust" It will be testing time for Be- used in reference to graduate thel Seniors and sophomohes next Wednesday and Thursday.

The tests are required of all seniors and are school entrance. Several students have lately evi-denced a curiosity concerning Doc-tor Daltin's newly published book The Jesuit's Estates Question, 1760 -1888. Could it be because the book is "all wet" that it has not yet flooded the market? Well, the book, which represents an expansion of Dalton's doctoral dissertation and is being published by the University of Toronto Press, has met with misfortune. The Bethel Bookstore, having received two orders for copies of the book, recently received word that "Doc" Dalton's book has been destroyed in a flood. The book's future is uncertain at present as a publication date has not yet been reassigned it. Wooded with orders? Although it is not all-important in itself, the cancelled "Tangle" is an indication of a greater malady. It is an illustration of class apathy so obvious on the Bethel scene, as well as at many other schools. The typical pattern at Bethel is for an incoming class to have its climax of unity and enthusiasm in its freshman year. After that, the usual trend is progressively downward. Small attendance at class meetings may make them something of a farce; classes themselves may cease to be much of anything of a force. It is graduation activities that represent the first reunion of all class members since their freshman days. Karl Marx's prediction of a "classless society" seems to apply in this non-economic sense as well. But are classes really too much a thing of the past? Is it really too archaic to have the idea of classes, whereby students can feel a sense of belonging, a sense of identification, and in later years, a sense of pride in saying, "I belonged to the Class of —."? Of course, what is not needed on this campus is a form of "ancestor worship," with seniors at the top of a rigid hierarchy. We do not need to undergo absurdities nor do we need to sacrifice the present sense of freedom whereby a freshman or sophomore may communicate easily with a junior or senior or receive help from same. But there is much need for rejuvenation, for a rebirth of interest. Classes can become positive or-ganizations, with friendly competition between them. They can become meaningful groups of students, bound in unity on a class basis. But everything depends on the individual student. It is he who must attempt to overcome the mountains of apathy. It is he who must participate positively. And if he chooses to shrink from this challenge, then Bethel is indeed headed toward the "classless society," a society devoid of a potentially meaningful element of its existence. Class spirit--who cares? Tune Tangle demise shows apathy by Dave Greener "Tomorrow will be cancelled because of lack of interest," according to one of the jokes making the rounds these days. At Bethel College, "Tune Tangle" was cancelled for the same reason. This year's demise of "Tune Tangle" is not an overwhelming disaster. It is a shame perhaps, but not a disaster. After all, there are some things in life that are even more significant than "Tune Tangle." "Tune Tangle" is (was?) an event in which Bethel's four classes compete musically in chorus groups. Any class member may participate, and each chorus is formed with a minimum of twenty members. Judged on a variety of criteria, the best chorus is given the honor of inscribing its class name on a permanent trophy. Although it has sometimes failed to be an annual fixture on Bethel's calendar, last year's "Tune Tangle" was enthusiastically participated in by all classes. Preparations had been energetic and competition was keen. But this year was different. On the Friday before the Saturday night contest, only one class (sopho-more) was anywhere near prepared. By evening, the other three had declared their inability to par-ticipate. The contest was thus cancelled. Why? "Reasons" were profuse, if not sometimes partially valid. There was a recital that evening; "Tune Tangle" was not the only event. Some students had jobs during the day; inconveniences were in-volved. Also, perhaps many freshmen did not know anything about "Tune Tangle." But these obstacles were not so titantic that they could not have been overcome. As it was, the recital time had been moved back an half an hour and the contest moved up an hour and a quarter. As for the other problems, they could have been worked around. But they weren't, "Tune Tangle" wasn't held, and some people's efforts were for naught. MUSICIAN AT WORK Edwin Willmington works on one of his compositions in preparation for his senior recital, which will be a 'first' at Bethel. Plotecteeia 'Thursday, March 20, 1964 the CLARION Page loPt ;,01oeiteaotee "This is your fife" Debate-bug hitsFalcon housemother by Chuck Myrbo March 25 will be a special day for Hobbit fans — on that day Frodo finally reached Mount Doom, only to hesitate when the time came to give up the burden he had borne so long. But the decision turned out to be not Frodo's but Gollum's, and not Gollum's so much as Fate's. For Gollum, who had lived for the Ring, died for it, destroyed by it as anyone would have been destroyed who did not have a will strong enough to master it. In dying, however, he destroyed the Ring — and as the Ring fell, Sauron fell. The oppression of the Dark Lord had ended, Gondor had won the War of the Rings, and the King could return to his throne. Aragorn's coronation signalled the beginning of the Age of Men and the passing of the Third Age of Middle Earth. The glory of the elves would diminish, and they would begin to depart from the Grey Havens to cross the sea. And as they did so, the traveller in Middle Earth had reached the end of his journey. Over fifteen hundred pages had flown by, and he had come to feel at home in a world far different from his own, and yet very much the same. He had read about people (and other creatures) so beautiful that he ached to meet them, and so real that he felt as if he had met them. He had just read J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, perhaps for the first time, and very probably not for the last. You've seen "Frodo Lives" and "Gandalf for President" on the desks.You've seen the "Come to Middle Earth" shirts. And you may have thought that the scribblers and the shirt-wearers were crazy, or at least putting you on. But if you did, you were wrong. If they're crazy, it's a crazy they wish every-one could be, and a crazy you would enjoy yourself. If you're willing to give the hobbit fans an ear, there are articles about Tolkien in the Saturday Evening Post, June 2, 1966; Holiday, June, 1966; Esquire, September, 1966; Nation, May 8, 1967; Life, February 24, 1967; and the New Yorker, January 15, 1966. Or better yet, corner a shirt-wearer and ask him, "What's so great about Middle Earth?" Or even better, find yourself a copy of The Hobbit and dig in. Because there is something "so great" about Middle Earth. I'd pay almost any price for a one-way ticket there, but there are only two-way tickets. Tolkien's trilogy will be your passage, but when you reach that last page, your stay is ended. If dreams were made to order, I'd order a life full of nights in Middle Earth. by Karen Rodberg She lives in "Grand Central Sta-tion," is housemother to 23 Bethel boys and a 7-year old swimming champ, participates in intercolleg-iate debate and League of Wo-men Voters where she is secretary (because "Christians should be in politics"), and is working toward her degree in speech with minors in Psychology and Sociology. This is your life, Marg Erickson. Marg was a student at Bethel for two years (1958-60) before she was married to Wayne Erickson. Dur-ing this time she was active in a rejuvenated Women's Choir and was a cheerleader for the Royals. Her past six summers have been spent at Camp Warren, a YMCA camp in northern Minnesota, where Wayne is director of the food ser-vice and where Marg can hike, can-oe, loaf, or swim with her son, Dave (who's been swimming since he was three.) For several years the family liv-ed in a three-story home in North-field with Wayne commuting daily to head Bethel's food service, but moved to the Cities in 1967 to be-come houseparents at Falcon Man-or. Because Marg is happiest when she's busy, and because she could not resist the opportunity with Bethel so close and Dave in school, she enrolled here a second time. It was only the beginning of last year that Marg took her first speech course (Fundamentals). She was in several speech tournaments before the debate-bug bit her, but now she and Julie Palen represent Bethel on the varsity level. Her debate travels have taken her away every weekend from October to Thanksgiving and more recently to Kansas University and to the Nationals at St. Thomas. Marg even works in her sleep. On nights when she is especially anxious about an oration or debate she dreams her speech or her evi-dence cards and can memorize them this way. Whenever possible her school work is restricted to weekdays to by Barb Jahr Usually one does not go to the theater to act, and the mere sug-gestion of participation is threa-tening to an average drama audi-ence. Those who cringe from pub-licly expressing an experience, or having a "dirty hippy" whisper in their ears should be careful not to attend "A mass for Actors and Audience on the Passion and Birth of Dr. John Faustus as Told in the Spirit of Our Times," playing through April 4 at the Firehouse Theater. I you are accustomed to follow-ing a "list of program in sequential order" here you'll have to list your own. Finally, should you be a lead-ing role fan who is constantly com-paring one production with ano-ther— forget it! There will never be another like it. Quite ironically, you may find yourself congratulating yourself be-cause you played the lead role, and so did the entire audience, along leave the weekends open for her family. At the Manor Marg and Wayne hold to the "open door" policy. They literally leave their door open whenever they're home—the traffic through that place is un-believeable. Although she a n d Wayne had planned on living in a girls' manor Marg says she wouldn't trade her Falcon boys for anything. with the actors. The irony pain-fully grows as you realize that the actors are only pretending to be Faust; but you are in reality the same man. Though the production utilizes the same themes as Goethe and Marlowe, you'll probably recognize a minimum of lines from these original scripts. However, the latest Beatle's album also is employed in the lines. After screaming for two hours about "knowledgeable man," the actors stop slapping you long e-nough to let you react. During the abatement you must make a per-sonal decision to begin all over again, or else to leave the theater. Do not make a hasty decision. You may miss a beautiful experi-ence. Transcendency, Faust is told, is the secret to life: Transcend your inhibited tendencies, conquer that fear which prevents man from becoming knowledgeable, and par-ticipate. `Faust' demands participation Do we harbor criminals? Willmington plans music career Lawmen nab Bethelites by Marione Rusche by Linda Lehman and Jeff Loomis Personally believing that no mu-sic is meaningful which does not say something to its listeners, Beth-el senior Edwin Willmington hopes that each audience member will gain "something substantial for himself" from the musical ideas contained in his original band com-position, "The Turmoil of Tri-umph," when it is given its pre-miere by the Bethel Concert Band Friday night. Ed, a music major with emphases in conducting and church music, will direct the band in its per-formance of his work. He describes it as "an attempt to depict the struggle it takes to triumph, what-ever the cause." Two conflicting themes, a short motive for Turmoil, and a four-phased modal chorale melody for Triumph, are pitted over and a-gainst each other in many ways until eventually Triumph reaches its forceful victory. The performance of this piece, the only one for band among Ed's 20 or so "down-on-paper" composi-tions, is a sort of prelude to the recital he will offer this spring of most of his works. Since his collection includes compositions for string quartet, organ, clarinet and piano, strings and trumpets, piano alone, and voice, he will call upon additional campus performers to interpret some of them, but he will either conduct or perform most of them himself. The recital date has not been finalized. As the first Bethelite to do a recital of this type, Ed is simply reflecting his particular interest in composing and his future plans to write music actively while teach-ing composition in a university. He has been accepted for graduate study next year in composition at the University of Arizona in Tuc-son, and hopes to proceed as di-rectly as possible to a doctoral degree. "I was singing solos at age 3 or 4 in church," he says when asked how his musical interests got their beginning. He started piano lessons at age 7, enjoying it much but playing so long (and so loud) that it got on his parents' nerves. He was a boy soprano soloist in the Kenosha, Wisconsin All-City Boys' Choir, played violin for five years through junior high school age, and was assistant conductor of both his junior high and high school choirs. In his senior year at Kenosha, Ed won the National School Choral Award. How did he come to Bethel? "By car!" he answers, noting that the school was sort of a surprise choice but one that has reaped some tangible rewards — including train-ing that has gained him an uncon-ditional grad school acceptance. Of Bethel's music faculty, he says, "I believe they have been most helpful, and are dedicated to help any one, provided that he de-sires to be helped, which I do." He has sung in both the Bethel Male Chorus and Bethel College Choir, been a section leader and assistant conductor, and has stud-ied voice for three years with Mr. Mogck and organ for one year with Mrs. Christian. He is also music director of Trinity Covenant Church at Robbinsdale. Other interests include sports. He loves to watch football and basketball games — "good games, that is." A large proportion of free time is spent, however, writ-ing music at the piano, in the tradition he begun when he private-ly learned, at age 9, conducting beat patterns from a little music book of his father's. As he looks forward to the pres-sures which will be involved in reaching successfully his graduate school goals, Ed counts on divine help. "I hope God can receive the glory of it all," he says, adding "I can't pretend to do it without Him." Several prominent members of Bethel's student body recently have had run-ins with the law, with one member even being sentenced to serve time in jail. Confusion regarding specific traffic laws of the cities and suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul has led to complications with the law for Bethel students with automobiles. Greg Taylor, student body president, last week received a traffic ticket but decided to pay the $5.00 fine instead of $4.00 court costs that would be necessary if a not-guilty plea was entered. Margie Whaley, Clarion editor, was an unfortunate victim of cir-cumstances when she got a ticket for not having new license plates and over-parking. Margie had just been in a car accident and didn't have ready cash to purchase plates and pay for repairs. She incurred $5 towing expenses when she was warned by an officer to move the vehicle from a residential area near Eagle Manor. However, the law still wasn't satisfied and gave her a ticket. She then had to pay $7.00 to get her car towed to Bethel's parking lot. Undaunted, Margie went to Falcon Heights court last Friday night, told the judge about her difficulties, and got her fine suspended. Tom Mesaros, a senator, didn't get off so easily. He had received a ticket for parking in a rush hour no-parking zone which was not legibly marked. Tom went to court March 11 to plead guilty. The judge announced a fine of $6.00 and Tom asked if there was an alternative to the fine. "Yes," the judge replied, "one day in jail. Dis-missed." Tom's "most interesting experience" last Saturday began with his checking in to the Ramsey County Jail in downtown St. Paul. He underwent some routine questioning, was fingerprinted, had all objects removed from his pockets (even his lifesavers; the guard said they could have been poison), was stripped of his belt (he might hang himself), ring (he might swallow it), and books (could contain concealed weapons). Tom was fortunate in that he was randomly picked to be a "trusty." A "trusty" has special privileges, also special duties. In ex-change for serving food, doing dishes, mopping floors, and cleaning bars and cells, a trusty has a TV set in his cell, may drink coffee anytime he wants (the coffee was kept warm by running hot water over it 24 hours a day), and gets better quality and quantity of food. "The hardest thing to fight in jail was the sheer boredom," Tom stated. "The jail served absolutely no rehabilitory purpose. The in-mates had the attitude that if they weren't naughty anymore, they wouldn't get a spanking," he added. "All in all, I did get a good deal. I was jailed with some easy-going guys, got three free meals, and saved $6.00. I highly recommend the experience — it's very educational," said Tom. eafrdad2eiaett? Ask your eye doctor.

A couple of weeks ago something their pastor said in his Sunday morning service inspired Bonnie Bege and Carolyn Niehouse to the formation of plans to send an evan-gelizing team to the beaches of Ft. Lauderdale, Flordia for Easter Va-cation. The idea was presented to the Chapel and Spiritual Concerns Committee which decided that for reasons concerning school insur-ance the venture should not be sponsored by Bethel College, but that the school would provide every encouragement possible. The idea was precipitated by the mention of the group of college students from the Twin Cities area that would be joining others in an effort sponsored by Campus Cru-sade the week before Easter to pre-sent Christ on the beaches. The students will attend Bible study Bethel's Student Minnesota Edu-ciation Association (SMEA) isn't generally known as a superstitious group; but some fortune cookie messages last weekend weren't easily passed off. A bethel delegation — Ron Skon, Doug Warring, Barb Atkins, Judy Olsen, Jackie Goodman and Sue Bomstad—registered last Friday for the SMEA annual Delegate As-sembly at the College of St. Cath-erine. Since they were a little early, they ventured to a Chinese restaurant for lunch. In fun, they took two fortune cookies to see if they would have anything to say about Doug War-ring's candidacy for state office (executive board member, as chair-man of the salary committee). Dougs fortunes read, "Salary raise and a new position are yours," and "Courage is what you need most now." Warring did get the state office. In addition, Bethel was represent- "Lord Jim," a motion picture in full technicolor, is coming to Beth-el's Campus and will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in room 106 of the college building.

The culmination of the evangelistic effort will be an evening concert on the beach presented by the New Folk. Of course, students from Bethel, having their spring vacation the week after Easter rather than the week before, will be unable to par-ticipate. However, Campus Crusade has agreed to sponsor a similar program for Bethel students who would like to participate in a sim-ilar effort the week following Easter, providing there are 20-30 interested students. According to reports, approxi-mately 15 students have indicated that they would like to make the trip. The group plans to spend April 5-11 in Ft. Lauderdale. Approximate cost of the venture includes $35 transportation, $15 food, $10 miscellaneous, and $0-2 ed as Ron Skon was nominated from the floor for state president, gave an extemporaneous speech, and lost by only four votes to another student who had a planned campaign and speech for the office. Delegates from 30 colleges and university chapters of the SMEA attended the event. The student arm of the more-than - 40,000 - member Minnesota Education Association discussed several of the MEA resolutions to be considered at the 46th annual MEA Delegate Assembly April 10- 12. Other resolutions included in-crease in teacher benefits and re-tirement; more involved prepara-tion — courses in sensitivity train-ing and cultural deprivation; bet-ter facilities for teaching, and in-ternships to replace student teach-ing. Warring's position will include setting up standards for salary negotiations for prospective teach-ers. lath, in the most demanding por-trayals of their careers are joined by England's Peter O'Toole and Germany's Curt Jurgens in equally powerful roles. An evening of exciting drama and adventure created by these dynamic personalities in action is promised by the senior class which is sponsoring the showing. Admis-sion charge will be $1.00 per per-son or $1.50 per couple. housing per night. Conference Baptist Churches in Ft. Lauderdale area have been contacted concern-ing housing placement. If, however, no developments ensue, Campus Crusade will provide housing for $2 per night. Training classes prior to depar-ture have been arranged for March 26, 27 in Edgren Lounge.

Lindsay of New York told about 1,000 presidents and deans at the annual meeting of the Association of American Colleges in Pittsburg, Pa. "Poverty, integration, defense, transportation, space exploration, economic development, and deter-ioration of the cities cry out for creative interdisciplinary think-ing," Mr. Lindsay said. "The university with its depart-mental structure, seems ill-equip-ped to respond." Specifically, Mr. Lindsay propos-ed colleges and universities de-velop more programs for high-risk students. He noted a recent sur-vey of 215 institutions revealed al-most half have no such programs at all. ebapet by Pastor Maurice Lawson Royal Bloom, the oldest teacher on our faculty (in terms of service!) will bring the message on Monday.

Dean Virgil Olson has an article in the February 1969 Eternity mag-azine entitled "What's the Church to do Now?" He tells how young people in our society are challeng-ing the validity of the Church's message, its worship and its mis-sion. They see little evidence that God is alive in evangelical church-es. "Penetration, rather than ex-tension, is the new key word. The church must find ways of pene-trating our modern society and es-pecially the secular city with the gospel of Jesus Christ." Donald Larson, professor of lin-guistics and anthropology, also authored an article in the February 1969 Eternity magazine which he has titled "People, Imposters and Souls." Professor Larson tells how Chris-tians too often divide humanity into three parts. People are those with whom we worship and pray. Im-posters are those who claim to be Christians but by our criteria they fail to pass the test. Souls are the millions among whom our profes-sionals work. They wear strange or dirty clothes and worship idols. "Imposters and souls must be ad-mitted into our hearts and lives as people, so that the Spirit has free course to create among us a unity that does not depend on our manmade conventions." ing the summer as well. President Lundquist will bring the week to a close with a message on Friday. Come and sing-along with Willie Hale, outstanding negro soloist and director of the Zion Baptist Church choir, at Catacombs this Sunday at 10 o'clock. James Johnson, professor of his-tory, wrote an article in the Janu-ary, 1969 Eternity magazine called "Church, Government, and Human Need." He asks, "Is government too in-volved meeting the tremendous needs of society — or are Chris-tians not involved enough?" At the beginning of the Twentieth Century, fundamentalist Protes-tants were little concerned with problems in the cities or the need for social reform. A small group of Protestant clergymen did, how-ever, try to find a solution by ap-plying the gospel to the new social situations. They wanted to awaken the churches to the responsibility for the societal needs around them. The government has helped the Christian cause by setting up re-form movements and providing financial help, Johnson says.

The International Col lee Organization. • Coed 'de-bugs' her own bug "SNUG-BUG" "And I thought American cars were complicated," says Janell Hastings as she inspects the engine of her recently-purchased Volkswagen, "Snug-Bug" — her third car this school year. Candidates speak strata, in light of prevailing con-science. The "will of the majority" does not place a man in authority; God Himself stirs the hearts of individuals to even frequent the polls: "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." I reassert that my first responsi-bility shall always be to God, in Christ, and the principles of His written Word. Instead of decrying responsibility to God's people, this enhances it. I therefore unequivo-cably stand for the open Bible in student government. Christian pol-itics is nothing new to me; the final decision is up to you. DAVE SHUPE I can sense at Bethel the begin-ning of a spirit of positive change; I see from the students an increas-ed interest in involvement; from the faculty, encouragement; and from the administration, openness. Suddenly Bethel may be one of the more progressive Twin City colleges, at least in terms of per-centage of change. In the light of this, I stress two general points. First, it is both right and neces-sary for students to take an active part in decision-making at Bethel. At this point I am a strong advo-cate of "Student Power." Secondly, I feel that this change is best accomplished through co-operation. Neither petty gripes nor a negative attitude can effect worthwhile change; a general "thumbs-up" attitude toward Beth-el, coupled with strong construc-tive criticism, can. The primary function of the President, beyond strictly constitu-tional duties, is to establish trust, from page 2 confidence, and open personal dis-cussion. To expand: 1) The President must have the confidence of "the powers that be" and spend many hours in discussions with them. I have done this this year as Vice- President. 2) The President must be open to and personally concern-ed with the opinions of each indi-vidual student. I am. 3) The Presi-dent needs close contact with stu-dent leaders of other colleges. I am acquainted with student lead-ers of nearly all Twin City colleges and the University. Specific proposals I have include: 1) revision of the 26-74 financial breakdown between college a n d seminary, 2) general relaxation of social rules, 3) constant review of new campus plans, 4) establishment of a legal aid service for students, and 5) increasingly strong contacts with other colleges. I feel I can bring to the office the experience, the time, the con-tacts, the seriousness, and the posi-tive attitude neded at the present time. Bethel sent its track team to Superoir State in Superior, Wis-consin last Saturday and they came back with a 57-34 loss. Unimpres-sive as it may sound, this first reg-ular season meet again showed a lot of promise for the season. The thinclads came back with four new records under their belt and one freshman record. Bob Olson only took third in the shot put but had a long enough toss to give him the school record. His throw of 44'8 1/4" would have been long enough to tie for first last week. All indications would point to bettering that mark as the season progresses. Dave Pound ran a blistering 1:18.5 in the 600-yard dash to win first place honors and the school record. In the 40-yard high hur-dles, Fritz Fredeen and Andy Leh-by Marie Watson In learning to economize and live on her student's budget, Janell Hastings, a Bethel junior, has as-sumed the job of "master mechan-ic" on her own cars. Her room-mates and friends are never shock-ed to view Janell deeply engrossed in the task of repairing a radiator hose or inspecting a malfunction-ing engine as she has faithfully doctored her three jalopies this year. Janell started this school year with a 1952 Plymouth, "Cock-roach," which had the distinction of specializing in unique problems. She found this out last summer when she had to drive it each day from Minnetonka to the Bethel College Library to work. It was a really "hot" car, in-cluding the brakes, which over-heated so much that the brake lights would go on. She had to stop every ten miles to let the brakes cool awhile before starting another ten-mile trek. When her faithful Plymouth re-fused to start without a push she deserted it for a nice-looking 1958 Chevrolet, "The Blue Max." A big car, it ran smoothly and looked even better. But she sus-picioned foul play when she found a worn orange sign in the trunk, reading "Car Stalled . .. Please Help!" After another round of "learning experiences" with the Chevrolet, Janell switched to a Volkswagen which has earned the name "Snug Bug" and kept up a good reputation. Aside from her avocation of working with cars, she has had an interesting television "career." She man chalked up times of 5.6 in the trials. It was enough to get them into the finals and give them a share of the school record. Rick Berggren took first place in the 100-yard run and was fol-lowed in third by Phil James. James' time of 2:40.1 gave him the freshman record. Dave Pearson went down a ways from his performance last week, but still had no trouble in taking first place in the high jump. Dwight Carlson took first in the mile run and second in the two-mile event. After two more meets, the team will pack up for a trip over Easter vacation that will begin in Manka-to. The highlight of the trip should be the meet against Bethel at North Newton, Kansas. worked for WTCN channel 11 in the Twin Cities. She was the assis-tant on a weekly educational sci-ence program for grade school children, -Exploring Nature." There was no script or preplanning except for a topic of study, such as reptiles, being stated several weeks in advance of filming each program. Janell made 35 appear-ances in this program in a series when she was 14-15 years old. Bob Duerr, a keeper at Como Zoo, headed the program each week.

This opportunity came to Janell partly because her father is in the television business. He was on WCCO channel 4 in the Twin Cities RS "Johnny 44," a cowboy, and "Rocko Dyne," a space explorer. Formerly an Operations Director of WCCO, he is now an announcer and newscaster for WPBC radio.

Box 13236; St. Petersburg, Florida 33733. by Frosty Peterson Dave Pearson, co-captain of the Bethel track team, began the final season of his college track career in great style by breaking the Bethel high-jump record early this season. His record jump of 6'1" occured in the first meet of the season at Macalester College against their B-squad. The old record of 6'0" was set by Dave in his first season as a freshman. Thus far this season, he has captured two first places, the record jump at Ma-calester being one and the other, a 5'10" jump at Superior State. As a co-captain along with Dave Pound, he will help to lead the Bethel track team to what is hoped will be another successful season. Assuming that noth-ing unfortunate happens, Dave will have lettered all four years in Bethel track at the close of this season. He is a valuable asset to the team, consistently performing in two other events, the triple and the long jump, as well as the high-jump. Having par-ticipated in these events in high-school competition, Dave was an asset to the team right from the start. When asked about the situation of the team as a whole, he said, "we're hurting for sprinters, but we have more depth in the other areas."

Snelling For Appointments Call — 646-2323 DENNY — WILL — JIM Sidelefte Symposium by Wally Borner It was disgusting. In fact, it was downright frustrating. The Faculty has no regard for the morale of the students whatsoever.They just pour on the humiliation. They could have acted like sophisticated college professors, but no; they had to beat us students at our own game. There ought to be a law against them leaving their station. The whole deal has been the fault of the one Dr. Pastor Al Glenn. Instead of counseling or instructing us, he intimidates us. I think he's been plotting the upheaval all year because he started his tactics way last fall. It's simply ridiculous to trade in the sheepskin for the pigskin. Well, anyway, things were at a fever pitch. They were having trouble getting their revolutionary cohorts together. And to think that I went and suggested to Dr. Gym Rodgers that he contact Eddie Thomas. But there it was. The showdown between the faculty and us off-campus students. We were both tied at number two and thus both had to try harder. So the basketball game between Faculty and Off Campus got to a start. We started off quite cold and the old men got off to a 9-3 lead. However, we chipped away and kept it close for the whole game. We even took the lead on a couple occasions. But our downfall was that maestro of the court, Eddie Thomas. Somehow he scaled our defense and showed that his real forte is scoring points. His smooth movements toward the basket was like a subtle glissando with no one really noting where he was. For an encore, he displayed defensive virtuosity. Another place where the Faculty tended to dominate was on the boards. It would not be much of an admission to say that Bob Crandall registered many key rebounds. And then adding Crandall's 11 points to Mr. Thomas' 19, they had a good one-two punch. Dr. Rodgers is an acidic competitor. He never gives up. He very obviously has a solid base of experience and his wit usually adds a bit of sodium chloride to the game. Gene Peter-son must have calculated that he could help the team because he added on eight points. But then, as I said, the mastermind behind the whole plot was Dr. Glenn. And he cinched the game. I fouled him to stop the clock and get the ball back, but those biased referees called an intentional foul. Going to the gift line with two chances, he sunk both of them. We didn't have a prayer. We were down by three with only five seconds left and Tom took the ball and drove in for a lay up. I'm sure somebody on the faculty must have fouled him but the refs didn't see it. Well, you give the faculty an inch and they take a mile. That's about what they did at the free throw line. Out of eleven chances, they sunk ten. That must be some kind of record. And they won without the services of Bill Carlson, one of their fast rising stars. The whole thing taught us humble undergraduates one thing: never trust anyone over 30. And Mr. Peterson and Mr. Crandall give proof that those younger ones who associate with the old(er) men are just as suspect. I-M Scoreboard "A" League March 17 Faculty 58; 3rd New 54 O.T.

Transcript | by Faith Zwemke A potentially stimulating adventure in expression, interpretation, and communication is scheduled for April 1 and 2. Students will have the opportunity to be involved in Bethel's 1st Annual Forensic Festival sponsored by the speech department. The Festival evolves from a desire to provide, on a local level, an opportunity for experienced and particularly novice speakers to, in the words of Donald Rainbow, "catch the excitement and challenge of contest speaking." In addition to this, the sponsors feel that in a world becoming more and more dependent on com-munication it is essential that individuals increase and perfect their communicating skills. The contest is open to all Bethel students, and students may enter in one or more of the seven events. These include extemporaneous speaking, origi-nal oratory, rhetorical criticism, after-dinner speak-ing, prose interpretation, poetry interpretation, and readers' theatre. In keeping with the season, after-dinner speakers will have the privilege of expounding on the topic "April Fool." The number of contestants in each area is unlimited, and therefore competition will depend on student interest. A highlight of the Festival will be Wednesday evening, April 2. A banquet for all participants will be held and awards will be presented to the finalists in all events except after-dinner speaking. These finalists will give their presentations at the banquet. Trophies will be awarded to first place winners, and certificates will go to second and third place winners. A unique feature of the tournament re-volves around an individual sweepstakes award. This award will be given to the contestant with the highest number of total points. Points may be ac-cumulated in the following manner: 1 point for each event entered; 4 points for first place; 3 points for second place, and 2 points for third place. As in every contest, judges are a must, and thus far an impressive panel of judges have been selected. These are: Gerald Healy, English professor; Fred Lund, seminary student and former debate coach; Jim Conway, seminarian and graduate of Bethel speech department; Dennis Smith, speech major at the Uni-versity of Minnesota, and Mrs. Margaret Dewey, Bethel librarian. In addition to these, other judges may be added. Contestants will be judged primarily on their interpretation and delivery of the selection. In order that the events can be scheduled proper-ly, the deadline for registration has been set for Tues. March 25. Registrations and questions should be given to Marg Erickson, speech major and director of the tournament, or any of the speech instructors. CONDUCTS OWN COMPOSITION Edwin Willmington, Bethel senior, conducts a rehearsal in preparation for Friday night's band concert.

According to official sources, candidates for Association Presi-dent who had declared by the Mon-day deadline were David A. Shupe, Thomas W. Mesaros, Charles Myr-bo, Bruce Otto and Ronald L. Roper.

"Receiving money for grants, loans, scholarships from the feder-al government is a very complicat-ed affair," according to James Bragg, director of financial aids. Bragg noted that National Student Defense Loans, scholarships, and other financial aids are granted be-fore the school knows exactly how much funds are coming through. Throughout the year, a commit-tee of the Office of Education in Kansas City sends the school es-timates on how much money they Goodman, Maurice Zaffke, and Richard Berggren. Candidates for Senator-at-large include Wendell Wahlin, A. Dean Pearson, Marjorie M. Rusche, Patricia Faxon, and El-don John Elseth. The class of 1970's three seats are being sought by Steven Lam-brides, Linda Sparks, Pamela Nor-dell, and Janet Hurt. The three seats of the Class of 1971 have been declared for by Karen Anne Nelson andDouglas F. Warring. The Class of 197 has Wendell Wahlin, Thomas Ford, Philip E.

Last March funds were estimated at $73,294; last August $70,300. In December, 1968, the school finally received word of what funds would be received for '67-68 — $73,413. Bethel had originally applied for $131,715.00. For the year '69-70, Bethel has applied for $132,527.70 in govern-ment funds. "The first estima-tion of what Bethel actually will receive should be coming shortly," Bragg stated. "Reports are out that Minnesota schools will get approx-imately 62% of their requests."

Students receiv-ing aid last year must re-apply. The dealine for receiving applica-tions is May 1. The Financial Aids office is pres-ently giving out awards to incoming freshmen, instead of waiting until May as has been done in past years. This should reduce the num-ber of "no shows" in September, Bragg said. A description of the various fi-nancial aids available to students will be forthcoming in students' P.O.'s from the Financial Aids Of-fice. Information concerning finan-cial aids is also given on pages 50- 60 of the college catalogue. Contemporary music will be fea-tured at the annual concert of Bethel College Concert Band at 8 p.m. Friday in the fieldhouse. "Passacaglia," written by Alfred Reed, a leading composer for band medium, gives a contemporary set-ting to one of the oldest forms of western instrumental music. This piece follows a traditional form, making it one of the few examples of such for the modern concert band. Gail Klemetti, flutist and a mu-sic major from Albuquerque, New Mexico, will be soloist in "Night Soliloquy." A highlight of the concert will be an original composition, "The Turmoil of Triumph" composed by Edwin Wilmington. Under the direction of Julius Whitinger, the band will present a varied program, beginning with a selection from "Fanfares For the Common Man." Other selections on the program include "Overture from Candide," a many-faceted piece by Leonard Bernstein; a med-ley of Negro spirituals; and a march, "Dawn of Peace." Several members of the band will leave their own sections to play percussion instruments, a few of which were newly purchased in time for the concert. Claves, gourd, temple blocks, timbales, Chinese gong, timpani, brass drum and tambourine will combine with the rest of the band to make "Incan-tation and Dance" an exciting cli-max to the evening (See "Candidates speak out," page 2) Fund reduction threatens Bethel's loan program LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS %fre co Iss5 men-"r" COLIC i SOON WILL VOL!

THOMAS W. MESAROS We at Bethel live in a three-sided community composed of ad-ministration, faculty and students. As a Christian community the ini-tial bond that ties the three sides together is our faith in the Lord. But still there are times of dis-content and rumbles between these groups. Name calling, gossip, unsound accusations and worst of all judge-ments of our fellows' faith still arise within our community. A goal we should consider for the coming year is establishing a campus community with mutual re-spect. We must work together on an equal plane; one side can not expect to dominate over the other two or two sides form a majority tyranny over the third. But in the framework of understanding, con-sideration, co-operation and com-promise we can work to build our community strong. We must weigh each problem in consideration of one another being strong in our own opinion but open to new ideas, realities of the past, and necessary changes. And we as students have our own sub-community in which we dwell everyday. We too, must have mutual respect among ourselves. From the Peace Club to the B.W.A. we should have a unity which can be applied to the whole communi- To the editor: The editorial of March 13, 1969, about the necessity of giving the disciplinary committee better guidelines and the article on the same page dealing with the hours for entertaining and curfew in the women's apartment bilding are re-lated in an often overlooked way. Let's be candid with ourselves. Despite all the rhetoric one reads (or hears) about the educational or social benefits of the women's cur-few (like it gives them more time to study and it helps teach them to regulate their social activities and it keeps them well-protected to curb parental anxieties), one is forced to feel that women are dis-criminated against in this way be-cause they, unlike men, can become pregnant. (I hope I have not unduly alarmed or informed anybody with the statement of this fact of life.) And women do not help the public image of their school one bit by displaying family tendencies in this way.

CHUCK MYRBO As a Christian college in a so-ciety which seems to be bent ov rejecting Christianity, Bethel is in an often difficult, often exciting, position. As students at a Chris-tian college, we are in a position which too often turns out to be only difficult. We are on both ends of the generation gap, and the process of finding a defensible position on the fence in the middle somewhere is often a frustrating one. We are a part of the fundamental church, one of the most conservative seg-ments of society. But we are still a part of a generation which has rebelled against even the liberal segments of that society. And so we come to Bethel, trying to find a way to allow our faith to ease our frustration. And we become more frustrated, because at Bethel there is an undercurrent which defines the ideal student as the most conservative student. We can tell what we are "supposed" to be, and we do not want to be . that. If Bethel is to be more exciting than difficult, it must take a posi-tive attitude rather than a negative one, and must redefine the "ideal" to fit the actual norm. The senate and the president, acting as a sort of go-between for the administration and the student body, can play an important role in effecting this change. BRUCE OTTO The major role of the Student Senate and Student Association President is to represent the stu-they were not students could live under their own circumstances, the spirit of distrust is manifested in curfew and entertaining regula-tions at Bethel. But let us be fair. Although distrust of one's sisters in Christ does not seem to 'be a Christian trait, students here do not set a perfect example for their faculty and administration colleagues. We too may use nice-sounding phrases to cover it, but our questions about such things as disciplinary "au-thority" betray us. Personally, I am willing to be frank—I do not trust any disci-plinary force in this school. And although I will concede that this may be a sign of paranoia, this is a field in which I do not feel iso-lated. And this distrust also seems unChristian. To summarize: Curfew establish-ment, aside from capitalizing on possible masochistic traits of the Bethel female, is based on distrust of the ladies curfewed. Likewise, student concern for such things as procedural due process (as de-monstrated by common suspicions, the support many of us give the Joint Statement, and the Senate Resolution on Due Process of No-vember 20, 1968 among other things) is based on a distrust of disciplinary forces. (This distrust is mitigated somewhat by a con-cern for the obligations of contract to be mutual, unlike the curfew case.) Distrust between Christian bro-thers and sisters (a relationship in-herent in the concept of any "Chris-tian" community—the filial rela-tionship is direct to God) is un- Christian. Therefore, in at least these two areas, Bethel is sick and in need of the Great Physician. Let us Pray for community peace. Leonard Ray Sammons dents and present their ideas to the administration. Through vari ous committees arid appointments to faculty committees this goal can be achieved. There should be student repre-sentation on all faculty commit-tees. The students should also take the initiative to voice their opin-ions on all New Campus plans, ranging from building programs to policy. These and other ideas can only be carried through if the students become involved and concerned a-bout what is happening around them. Student involvement is the base for a sound and effective Student Senate. RONALD L. ROPER All of human life is religion. That is, not "ritual," or "ecclesias-ticism," but the inescapable posi-tion before God. All human activi-ty is service either to the one true God, or to an idol: "humanity," the "common good," etc. The respon-sibility of any Christian in office is to openly avow his adherence to the Scriptures. There is no pos-sibility of any person acting from a position of "neutrality"; such an assertion is either from ignorance or deception. I therefore affirm the necessity to admit one's 'beliefs, even in political action. In this re-gard, I uphold the Bible as norma-tive, and will continue to do so. Moreover, it is crucial to deter-mine where a candidate's respon-sibility lies. This is determined by his view of authority. Again, a correct understanding can only be deduced from the written Word of God. Here we discover that total sovereignty is an attribute of God alone; all human authority is de-rived therefrom. Authority is not derived from "the people." Furthermore government must not rule by popular consent but by principle. These must be deriv-ed from Scripture, by communal endeavor, upon past legislative cont'd on page 5 Discipline, women's hours raise issue of mutual "distrust" It will be testing time for Be- used in reference to graduate thel Seniors and sophomohes next Wednesday and Thursday.

The tests are required of all seniors and are school entrance. Several students have lately evi-denced a curiosity concerning Doc-tor Daltin's newly published book The Jesuit's Estates Question, 1760 -1888. Could it be because the book is "all wet" that it has not yet flooded the market? Well, the book, which represents an expansion of Dalton's doctoral dissertation and is being published by the University of Toronto Press, has met with misfortune. The Bethel Bookstore, having received two orders for copies of the book, recently received word that "Doc" Dalton's book has been destroyed in a flood. The book's future is uncertain at present as a publication date has not yet been reassigned it. Wooded with orders? Although it is not all-important in itself, the cancelled "Tangle" is an indication of a greater malady. It is an illustration of class apathy so obvious on the Bethel scene, as well as at many other schools. The typical pattern at Bethel is for an incoming class to have its climax of unity and enthusiasm in its freshman year. After that, the usual trend is progressively downward. Small attendance at class meetings may make them something of a farce; classes themselves may cease to be much of anything of a force. It is graduation activities that represent the first reunion of all class members since their freshman days. Karl Marx's prediction of a "classless society" seems to apply in this non-economic sense as well. But are classes really too much a thing of the past? Is it really too archaic to have the idea of classes, whereby students can feel a sense of belonging, a sense of identification, and in later years, a sense of pride in saying, "I belonged to the Class of —."? Of course, what is not needed on this campus is a form of "ancestor worship," with seniors at the top of a rigid hierarchy. We do not need to undergo absurdities nor do we need to sacrifice the present sense of freedom whereby a freshman or sophomore may communicate easily with a junior or senior or receive help from same. But there is much need for rejuvenation, for a rebirth of interest. Classes can become positive or-ganizations, with friendly competition between them. They can become meaningful groups of students, bound in unity on a class basis. But everything depends on the individual student. It is he who must attempt to overcome the mountains of apathy. It is he who must participate positively. And if he chooses to shrink from this challenge, then Bethel is indeed headed toward the "classless society," a society devoid of a potentially meaningful element of its existence. Class spirit--who cares? Tune Tangle demise shows apathy by Dave Greener "Tomorrow will be cancelled because of lack of interest," according to one of the jokes making the rounds these days. At Bethel College, "Tune Tangle" was cancelled for the same reason. This year's demise of "Tune Tangle" is not an overwhelming disaster. It is a shame perhaps, but not a disaster. After all, there are some things in life that are even more significant than "Tune Tangle." "Tune Tangle" is (was?) an event in which Bethel's four classes compete musically in chorus groups. Any class member may participate, and each chorus is formed with a minimum of twenty members. Judged on a variety of criteria, the best chorus is given the honor of inscribing its class name on a permanent trophy. Although it has sometimes failed to be an annual fixture on Bethel's calendar, last year's "Tune Tangle" was enthusiastically participated in by all classes. Preparations had been energetic and competition was keen. But this year was different. On the Friday before the Saturday night contest, only one class (sopho-more) was anywhere near prepared. By evening, the other three had declared their inability to par-ticipate. The contest was thus cancelled. Why? "Reasons" were profuse, if not sometimes partially valid. There was a recital that evening; "Tune Tangle" was not the only event. Some students had jobs during the day; inconveniences were in-volved. Also, perhaps many freshmen did not know anything about "Tune Tangle." But these obstacles were not so titantic that they could not have been overcome. As it was, the recital time had been moved back an half an hour and the contest moved up an hour and a quarter. As for the other problems, they could have been worked around. But they weren't, "Tune Tangle" wasn't held, and some people's efforts were for naught. MUSICIAN AT WORK Edwin Willmington works on one of his compositions in preparation for his senior recital, which will be a 'first' at Bethel. Plotecteeia 'Thursday, March 20, 1964 the CLARION Page loPt ;,01oeiteaotee "This is your fife" Debate-bug hitsFalcon housemother by Chuck Myrbo March 25 will be a special day for Hobbit fans — on that day Frodo finally reached Mount Doom, only to hesitate when the time came to give up the burden he had borne so long. But the decision turned out to be not Frodo's but Gollum's, and not Gollum's so much as Fate's. For Gollum, who had lived for the Ring, died for it, destroyed by it as anyone would have been destroyed who did not have a will strong enough to master it. In dying, however, he destroyed the Ring — and as the Ring fell, Sauron fell. The oppression of the Dark Lord had ended, Gondor had won the War of the Rings, and the King could return to his throne. Aragorn's coronation signalled the beginning of the Age of Men and the passing of the Third Age of Middle Earth. The glory of the elves would diminish, and they would begin to depart from the Grey Havens to cross the sea. And as they did so, the traveller in Middle Earth had reached the end of his journey. Over fifteen hundred pages had flown by, and he had come to feel at home in a world far different from his own, and yet very much the same. He had read about people (and other creatures) so beautiful that he ached to meet them, and so real that he felt as if he had met them. He had just read J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, perhaps for the first time, and very probably not for the last. You've seen "Frodo Lives" and "Gandalf for President" on the desks.You've seen the "Come to Middle Earth" shirts. And you may have thought that the scribblers and the shirt-wearers were crazy, or at least putting you on. But if you did, you were wrong. If they're crazy, it's a crazy they wish every-one could be, and a crazy you would enjoy yourself. If you're willing to give the hobbit fans an ear, there are articles about Tolkien in the Saturday Evening Post, June 2, 1966; Holiday, June, 1966; Esquire, September, 1966; Nation, May 8, 1967; Life, February 24, 1967; and the New Yorker, January 15, 1966. Or better yet, corner a shirt-wearer and ask him, "What's so great about Middle Earth?" Or even better, find yourself a copy of The Hobbit and dig in. Because there is something "so great" about Middle Earth. I'd pay almost any price for a one-way ticket there, but there are only two-way tickets. Tolkien's trilogy will be your passage, but when you reach that last page, your stay is ended. If dreams were made to order, I'd order a life full of nights in Middle Earth. by Karen Rodberg She lives in "Grand Central Sta-tion," is housemother to 23 Bethel boys and a 7-year old swimming champ, participates in intercolleg-iate debate and League of Wo-men Voters where she is secretary (because "Christians should be in politics"), and is working toward her degree in speech with minors in Psychology and Sociology. This is your life, Marg Erickson. Marg was a student at Bethel for two years (1958-60) before she was married to Wayne Erickson. Dur-ing this time she was active in a rejuvenated Women's Choir and was a cheerleader for the Royals. Her past six summers have been spent at Camp Warren, a YMCA camp in northern Minnesota, where Wayne is director of the food ser-vice and where Marg can hike, can-oe, loaf, or swim with her son, Dave (who's been swimming since he was three.) For several years the family liv-ed in a three-story home in North-field with Wayne commuting daily to head Bethel's food service, but moved to the Cities in 1967 to be-come houseparents at Falcon Man-or. Because Marg is happiest when she's busy, and because she could not resist the opportunity with Bethel so close and Dave in school, she enrolled here a second time. It was only the beginning of last year that Marg took her first speech course (Fundamentals). She was in several speech tournaments before the debate-bug bit her, but now she and Julie Palen represent Bethel on the varsity level. Her debate travels have taken her away every weekend from October to Thanksgiving and more recently to Kansas University and to the Nationals at St. Thomas. Marg even works in her sleep. On nights when she is especially anxious about an oration or debate she dreams her speech or her evi-dence cards and can memorize them this way. Whenever possible her school work is restricted to weekdays to by Barb Jahr Usually one does not go to the theater to act, and the mere sug-gestion of participation is threa-tening to an average drama audi-ence. Those who cringe from pub-licly expressing an experience, or having a "dirty hippy" whisper in their ears should be careful not to attend "A mass for Actors and Audience on the Passion and Birth of Dr. John Faustus as Told in the Spirit of Our Times," playing through April 4 at the Firehouse Theater. I you are accustomed to follow-ing a "list of program in sequential order" here you'll have to list your own. Finally, should you be a lead-ing role fan who is constantly com-paring one production with ano-ther— forget it! There will never be another like it. Quite ironically, you may find yourself congratulating yourself be-cause you played the lead role, and so did the entire audience, along leave the weekends open for her family. At the Manor Marg and Wayne hold to the "open door" policy. They literally leave their door open whenever they're home—the traffic through that place is un-believeable. Although she a n d Wayne had planned on living in a girls' manor Marg says she wouldn't trade her Falcon boys for anything. with the actors. The irony pain-fully grows as you realize that the actors are only pretending to be Faust; but you are in reality the same man. Though the production utilizes the same themes as Goethe and Marlowe, you'll probably recognize a minimum of lines from these original scripts. However, the latest Beatle's album also is employed in the lines. After screaming for two hours about "knowledgeable man," the actors stop slapping you long e-nough to let you react. During the abatement you must make a per-sonal decision to begin all over again, or else to leave the theater. Do not make a hasty decision. You may miss a beautiful experi-ence. Transcendency, Faust is told, is the secret to life: Transcend your inhibited tendencies, conquer that fear which prevents man from becoming knowledgeable, and par-ticipate. `Faust' demands participation Do we harbor criminals? Willmington plans music career Lawmen nab Bethelites by Marione Rusche by Linda Lehman and Jeff Loomis Personally believing that no mu-sic is meaningful which does not say something to its listeners, Beth-el senior Edwin Willmington hopes that each audience member will gain "something substantial for himself" from the musical ideas contained in his original band com-position, "The Turmoil of Tri-umph," when it is given its pre-miere by the Bethel Concert Band Friday night. Ed, a music major with emphases in conducting and church music, will direct the band in its per-formance of his work. He describes it as "an attempt to depict the struggle it takes to triumph, what-ever the cause." Two conflicting themes, a short motive for Turmoil, and a four-phased modal chorale melody for Triumph, are pitted over and a-gainst each other in many ways until eventually Triumph reaches its forceful victory. The performance of this piece, the only one for band among Ed's 20 or so "down-on-paper" composi-tions, is a sort of prelude to the recital he will offer this spring of most of his works. Since his collection includes compositions for string quartet, organ, clarinet and piano, strings and trumpets, piano alone, and voice, he will call upon additional campus performers to interpret some of them, but he will either conduct or perform most of them himself. The recital date has not been finalized. As the first Bethelite to do a recital of this type, Ed is simply reflecting his particular interest in composing and his future plans to write music actively while teach-ing composition in a university. He has been accepted for graduate study next year in composition at the University of Arizona in Tuc-son, and hopes to proceed as di-rectly as possible to a doctoral degree. "I was singing solos at age 3 or 4 in church," he says when asked how his musical interests got their beginning. He started piano lessons at age 7, enjoying it much but playing so long (and so loud) that it got on his parents' nerves. He was a boy soprano soloist in the Kenosha, Wisconsin All-City Boys' Choir, played violin for five years through junior high school age, and was assistant conductor of both his junior high and high school choirs. In his senior year at Kenosha, Ed won the National School Choral Award. How did he come to Bethel? "By car!" he answers, noting that the school was sort of a surprise choice but one that has reaped some tangible rewards — including train-ing that has gained him an uncon-ditional grad school acceptance. Of Bethel's music faculty, he says, "I believe they have been most helpful, and are dedicated to help any one, provided that he de-sires to be helped, which I do." He has sung in both the Bethel Male Chorus and Bethel College Choir, been a section leader and assistant conductor, and has stud-ied voice for three years with Mr. Mogck and organ for one year with Mrs. Christian. He is also music director of Trinity Covenant Church at Robbinsdale. Other interests include sports. He loves to watch football and basketball games — "good games, that is." A large proportion of free time is spent, however, writ-ing music at the piano, in the tradition he begun when he private-ly learned, at age 9, conducting beat patterns from a little music book of his father's. As he looks forward to the pres-sures which will be involved in reaching successfully his graduate school goals, Ed counts on divine help. "I hope God can receive the glory of it all," he says, adding "I can't pretend to do it without Him." Several prominent members of Bethel's student body recently have had run-ins with the law, with one member even being sentenced to serve time in jail. Confusion regarding specific traffic laws of the cities and suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul has led to complications with the law for Bethel students with automobiles. Greg Taylor, student body president, last week received a traffic ticket but decided to pay the $5.00 fine instead of $4.00 court costs that would be necessary if a not-guilty plea was entered. Margie Whaley, Clarion editor, was an unfortunate victim of cir-cumstances when she got a ticket for not having new license plates and over-parking. Margie had just been in a car accident and didn't have ready cash to purchase plates and pay for repairs. She incurred $5 towing expenses when she was warned by an officer to move the vehicle from a residential area near Eagle Manor. However, the law still wasn't satisfied and gave her a ticket. She then had to pay $7.00 to get her car towed to Bethel's parking lot. Undaunted, Margie went to Falcon Heights court last Friday night, told the judge about her difficulties, and got her fine suspended. Tom Mesaros, a senator, didn't get off so easily. He had received a ticket for parking in a rush hour no-parking zone which was not legibly marked. Tom went to court March 11 to plead guilty. The judge announced a fine of $6.00 and Tom asked if there was an alternative to the fine. "Yes," the judge replied, "one day in jail. Dis-missed." Tom's "most interesting experience" last Saturday began with his checking in to the Ramsey County Jail in downtown St. Paul. He underwent some routine questioning, was fingerprinted, had all objects removed from his pockets (even his lifesavers; the guard said they could have been poison), was stripped of his belt (he might hang himself), ring (he might swallow it), and books (could contain concealed weapons). Tom was fortunate in that he was randomly picked to be a "trusty." A "trusty" has special privileges, also special duties. In ex-change for serving food, doing dishes, mopping floors, and cleaning bars and cells, a trusty has a TV set in his cell, may drink coffee anytime he wants (the coffee was kept warm by running hot water over it 24 hours a day), and gets better quality and quantity of food. "The hardest thing to fight in jail was the sheer boredom," Tom stated. "The jail served absolutely no rehabilitory purpose. The in-mates had the attitude that if they weren't naughty anymore, they wouldn't get a spanking," he added. "All in all, I did get a good deal. I was jailed with some easy-going guys, got three free meals, and saved $6.00. I highly recommend the experience — it's very educational," said Tom. eafrdad2eiaett? Ask your eye doctor.

A couple of weeks ago something their pastor said in his Sunday morning service inspired Bonnie Bege and Carolyn Niehouse to the formation of plans to send an evan-gelizing team to the beaches of Ft. Lauderdale, Flordia for Easter Va-cation. The idea was presented to the Chapel and Spiritual Concerns Committee which decided that for reasons concerning school insur-ance the venture should not be sponsored by Bethel College, but that the school would provide every encouragement possible. The idea was precipitated by the mention of the group of college students from the Twin Cities area that would be joining others in an effort sponsored by Campus Cru-sade the week before Easter to pre-sent Christ on the beaches.

A bethel delegation — Ron Skon, Doug Warring, Barb Atkins, Judy Olsen, Jackie Goodman and Sue Bomstad—registered last Friday for the SMEA annual Delegate As-sembly at the College of St. Cath-erine. Since they were a little early, they ventured to a Chinese restaurant for lunch. In fun, they took two fortune cookies to see if they would have anything to say about Doug War-ring's candidacy for state office (executive board member, as chair-man of the salary committee). Dougs fortunes read, "Salary raise and a new position are yours," and "Courage is what you need most now." Warring did get the state office. In addition, Bethel was represent- "Lord Jim," a motion picture in full technicolor, is coming to Beth-el's Campus and will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in room 106 of the college building.

The culmination of the evangelistic effort will be an evening concert on the beach presented by the New Folk. Of course, students from Bethel, having their spring vacation the week after Easter rather than the week before, will be unable to par-ticipate. However, Campus Crusade has agreed to sponsor a similar program for Bethel students who would like to participate in a sim-ilar effort the week following Easter, providing there are 20-30 interested students. According to reports, approxi-mately 15 students have indicated that they would like to make the trip. The group plans to spend April 5-11 in Ft. Lauderdale. Approximate cost of the venture includes $35 transportation, $15 food, $10 miscellaneous, and $0-2 ed as Ron Skon was nominated from the floor for state president, gave an extemporaneous speech, and lost by only four votes to another student who had a planned campaign and speech for the office. Delegates from 30 colleges and university chapters of the SMEA attended the event. The student arm of the more-than - 40,000 - member Minnesota Education Association discussed several of the MEA resolutions to be considered at the 46th annual MEA Delegate Assembly April 10- 12. Other resolutions included in-crease in teacher benefits and re-tirement; more involved prepara-tion — courses in sensitivity train-ing and cultural deprivation; bet-ter facilities for teaching, and in-ternships to replace student teach-ing. Warring's position will include setting up standards for salary negotiations for prospective teach-ers. lath, in the most demanding por-trayals of their careers are joined by England's Peter O'Toole and Germany's Curt Jurgens in equally powerful roles.

Lindsay of New York told about 1,000 presidents and deans at the annual meeting of the Association of American Colleges in Pittsburg, Pa. "Poverty, integration, defense, transportation, space exploration, economic development, and deter-ioration of the cities cry out for creative interdisciplinary think-ing," Mr. Lindsay said. "The university with its depart-mental structure, seems ill-equip-ped to respond." Specifically, Mr. Lindsay propos-ed colleges and universities de-velop more programs for high-risk students.

Dean Virgil Olson has an article in the February 1969 Eternity mag-azine entitled "What's the Church to do Now?" He tells how young people in our society are challeng-ing the validity of the Church's message, its worship and its mis-sion. They see little evidence that God is alive in evangelical church-es. "Penetration, rather than ex-tension, is the new key word. The church must find ways of pene-trating our modern society and es-pecially the secular city with the gospel of Jesus Christ." Donald Larson, professor of lin-guistics and anthropology, also authored an article in the February 1969 Eternity magazine which he has titled "People, Imposters and Souls." Professor Larson tells how Chris-tians too often divide humanity into three parts. People are those with whom we worship and pray. Im-posters are those who claim to be Christians but by our criteria they fail to pass the test. Souls are the millions among whom our profes-sionals work. They wear strange or dirty clothes and worship idols. "Imposters and souls must be ad-mitted into our hearts and lives as people, so that the Spirit has free course to create among us a unity that does not depend on our manmade conventions." ing the summer as well. President Lundquist will bring the week to a close with a message on Friday. Come and sing-along with Willie Hale, outstanding negro soloist and director of the Zion Baptist Church choir, at Catacombs this Sunday at 10 o'clock. James Johnson, professor of his-tory, wrote an article in the Janu-ary, 1969 Eternity magazine called "Church, Government, and Human Need." He asks, "Is government too in-volved meeting the tremendous needs of society — or are Chris-tians not involved enough?" At the beginning of the Twentieth Century, fundamentalist Protes-tants were little concerned with problems in the cities or the need for social reform. A small group of Protestant clergymen did, how-ever, try to find a solution by ap-plying the gospel to the new social situations. They wanted to awaken the churches to the responsibility for the societal needs around them. The government has helped the Christian cause by setting up re-form movements and providing financial help, Johnson says.

Candidates speak strata, in light of prevailing con-science. The "will of the majority" does not place a man in authority; God Himself stirs the hearts of individuals to even frequent the polls: "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." I reassert that my first responsi-bility shall always be to God, in Christ, and the principles of His written Word. Instead of decrying responsibility to God's people, this enhances it. I therefore unequivo-cably stand for the open Bible in student government. Christian pol-itics is nothing new to me; the final decision is up to you. DAVE SHUPE I can sense at Bethel the begin-ning of a spirit of positive change; I see from the students an increas-ed interest in involvement; from the faculty, encouragement; and from the administration, openness. Suddenly Bethel may be one of the more progressive Twin City colleges, at least in terms of per-centage of change. In the light of this, I stress two general points. First, it is both right and neces-sary for students to take an active part in decision-making at Bethel. At this point I am a strong advo-cate of "Student Power." Secondly, I feel that this change is best accomplished through co-operation. Neither petty gripes nor a negative attitude can effect worthwhile change; a general "thumbs-up" attitude toward Beth-el, coupled with strong construc-tive criticism, can. The primary function of the President, beyond strictly constitu-tional duties, is to establish trust, from page 2 confidence, and open personal dis-cussion. To expand: 1) The President must have the confidence of "the powers that be" and spend many hours in discussions with them. I have done this this year as Vice- President. 2) The President must be open to and personally concern-ed with the opinions of each indi-vidual student. I am. 3) The Presi-dent needs close contact with stu-dent leaders of other colleges. I am acquainted with student lead-ers of nearly all Twin City colleges and the University. Specific proposals I have include: 1) revision of the 26-74 financial breakdown between college a n d seminary, 2) general relaxation of social rules, 3) constant review of new campus plans, 4) establishment of a legal aid service for students, and 5) increasingly strong contacts with other colleges. I feel I can bring to the office the experience, the time, the con-tacts, the seriousness, and the posi-tive attitude neded at the present time. Bethel sent its track team to Superoir State in Superior, Wis-consin last Saturday and they came back with a 57-34 loss. Unimpres-sive as it may sound, this first reg-ular season meet again showed a lot of promise for the season. The thinclads came back with four new records under their belt and one freshman record. Bob Olson only took third in the shot put but had a long enough toss to give him the school record. His throw of 44'8 1/4" would have been long enough to tie for first last week. All indications would point to bettering that mark as the season progresses. Dave Pound ran a blistering 1:18.5 in the 600-yard dash to win first place honors and the school record. In the 40-yard high hur-dles, Fritz Fredeen and Andy Leh-by Marie Watson In learning to economize and live on her student's budget, Janell Hastings, a Bethel junior, has as-sumed the job of "master mechan-ic" on her own cars. Her room-mates and friends are never shock-ed to view Janell deeply engrossed in the task of repairing a radiator hose or inspecting a malfunction-ing engine as she has faithfully doctored her three jalopies this year. Janell started this school year with a 1952 Plymouth, "Cock-roach," which had the distinction of specializing in unique problems. She found this out last summer when she had to drive it each day from Minnetonka to the Bethel College Library to work. It was a really "hot" car, in-cluding the brakes, which over-heated so much that the brake lights would go on. She had to stop every ten miles to let the brakes cool awhile before starting another ten-mile trek. When her faithful Plymouth re-fused to start without a push she deserted it for a nice-looking 1958 Chevrolet, "The Blue Max." A big car, it ran smoothly and looked even better. But she sus-picioned foul play when she found a worn orange sign in the trunk, reading "Car Stalled . .. Please Help!" After another round of "learning experiences" with the Chevrolet, Janell switched to a Volkswagen which has earned the name "Snug Bug" and kept up a good reputation. Aside from her avocation of working with cars, she has had an interesting television "career." She man chalked up times of 5.6 in the trials. It was enough to get them into the finals and give them a share of the school record. Rick Berggren took first place in the 100-yard run and was fol-lowed in third by Phil James. James' time of 2:40.1 gave him the freshman record. Dave Pearson went down a ways from his performance last week, but still had no trouble in taking first place in the high jump. Dwight Carlson took first in the mile run and second in the two-mile event. After two more meets, the team will pack up for a trip over Easter vacation that will begin in Manka-to. The highlight of the trip should be the meet against Bethel at North Newton, Kansas. worked for WTCN channel 11 in the Twin Cities. She was the assis-tant on a weekly educational sci-ence program for grade school children, -Exploring Nature." There was no script or preplanning except for a topic of study, such as reptiles, being stated several weeks in advance of filming each program. Janell made 35 appear-ances in this program in a series when she was 14-15 years old. Bob Duerr, a keeper at Como Zoo, headed the program each week.

Box 13236; St. Petersburg, Florida 33733. by Frosty Peterson Dave Pearson, co-captain of the Bethel track team, began the final season of his college track career in great style by breaking the Bethel high-jump record early this season. His record jump of 6'1" occured in the first meet of the season at Macalester College against their B-squad. The old record of 6'0" was set by Dave in his first season as a freshman. Thus far this season, he has captured two first places, the record jump at Ma-calester being one and the other, a 5'10" jump at Superior State. As a co-captain along with Dave Pound, he will help to lead the Bethel track team to what is hoped will be another successful season. Assuming that noth-ing unfortunate happens, Dave will have lettered all four years in Bethel track at the close of this season. He is a valuable asset to the team, consistently performing in two other events, the triple and the long jump, as well as the high-jump. Having par-ticipated in these events in high-school competition, Dave was an asset to the team right from the start. When asked about the situation of the team as a whole, he said, "we're hurting for sprinters, but we have more depth in the other areas."

Snelling For Appointments Call — 646-2323 DENNY — WILL — JIM Sidelefte Symposium by Wally Borner It was disgusting. In fact, it was downright frustrating. The Faculty has no regard for the morale of the students whatsoever.They just pour on the humiliation. They could have acted like sophisticated college professors, but no; they had to beat us students at our own game. There ought to be a law against them leaving their station. The whole deal has been the fault of the one Dr. Pastor Al Glenn. Instead of counseling or instructing us, he intimidates us. I think he's been plotting the upheaval all year because he started his tactics way last fall. It's simply ridiculous to trade in the sheepskin for the pigskin. Well, anyway, things were at a fever pitch. They were having trouble getting their revolutionary cohorts together. And to think that I went and suggested to Dr. Gym Rodgers that he contact Eddie Thomas. But there it was. The showdown between the faculty and us off-campus students. We were both tied at number two and thus both had to try harder. So the basketball game between Faculty and Off Campus got to a start. We started off quite cold and the old men got off to a 9-3 lead. However, we chipped away and kept it close for the whole game. We even took the lead on a couple occasions. But our downfall was that maestro of the court, Eddie Thomas. Somehow he scaled our defense and showed that his real forte is scoring points. His smooth movements toward the basket was like a subtle glissando with no one really noting where he was. For an encore, he displayed defensive virtuosity. Another place where the Faculty tended to dominate was on the boards. It would not be much of an admission to say that Bob Crandall registered many key rebounds. And then adding Crandall's 11 points to Mr. Thomas' 19, they had a good one-two punch. Dr. Rodgers is an acidic competitor. He never gives up. He very obviously has a solid base of experience and his wit usually adds a bit of sodium chloride to the game. Gene Peter-son must have calculated that he could help the team because he added on eight points. But then, as I said, the mastermind behind the whole plot was Dr. Glenn. And he cinched the game. I fouled him to stop the clock and get the ball back, but those biased referees called an intentional foul. Going to the gift line with two chances, he sunk both of them. We didn't have a prayer. We were down by three with only five seconds left and Tom took the ball and drove in for a lay up. I'm sure somebody on the faculty must have fouled him but the refs didn't see it. Well, you give the faculty an inch and they take a mile. That's about what they did at the free throw line. Out of eleven chances, they sunk ten. That must be some kind of record. And they won without the services of Bill Carlson, one of their fast rising stars. The whole thing taught us humble undergraduates one thing: never trust anyone over 30. And Mr. Peterson and Mr. Crandall give proof that those younger ones who associate with the old(er) men are just as suspect. I-M Scoreboard "A" League March 17 Faculty 58; 3rd New 54 O.T.

From now on, however, these events will be included as the meets will be held outdoors. In the past few seasons, Bethel has been strong in track, and this season should be no different. There are many returning lettermen and several promising freshmen. Under the leadership of co-captain Dave Pearson, Bethel track looks for another successful season.
