Royal Bloom's announcement of
his plans for retirement in tues-day's
chapel came as quite a sur-prise
to much of the Bethel com-munity.
Mr. Bloom who is presently serv-ing
Bethel in the capacity of pro-fessor
of psychology and director
of testing, also holds the honor of
having the longest tenure among
the faculty members, having been
at Bethel 22 years. (Besides this
formal position, he is also known
as the school's best candy maker.)
He came to Bethel in 1947, when
the college expanded from a junior
college to a four-year institution,
to serve as chairman of the edu-cation
and psychology department.
He remained head of that joint
department until 1962. and gradu-ally
assumed the position of Direc-tor
of Testing while still remaining
a professor in the psychology de-partment.
Bloom received his bae- elors and
masters degree at the University
of Minnesota. Before coming to
Bethel he was principal of an ,ele-mentary
school, taught at Eveleth
Junior College for five years and
spent six years at the University
of Minnesota as a statistician.
After serving in the U.S. Navy
for three and one-half years and
retiring as a commander, he taught
briefly at Iowa State University
and spent a year in the nation's
capital as a civilian in a Navy
Testing Program.
In 1950 he became a certified
psychologist in the state of Minne-sota.
He taught two years of sum-by

Students will choose their new
student government leaders today
and tomorrow. In an effort to fur-ther
acquaint Bethelites with the
candidates, the Clarion presents:
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Tom Mesaros, junior, is a double
political science history major. Tom
has served as vice-president of
his freshman class, president of
his sophomore class, this year was
vice-chairman of Homecoming,
senator-at-large, and was on the
Student Personnel Committee.
He has been active in Intra-murals
for three years, an infielder
on the baseball team for three
years, and a member of the cross-country
team this year.
Tom feels he is qualified to be
President through his experience
in student government, training in
government in his political science
courses, his desire to give broad
representation to students, and
negotiate with the administration.
Tom would push for student fi-nancial
autonomy, more student ac-tion
on new campus plans, student
representation on more adminis-tration
committees, steramlining
and centralization of power in the
Senate, a continued revision of dis-ciplinary
procedures through the
disciplinary committee, keeping the
coffe shop and library open dur-ing
chapel, and more consistency
in school policy.
Bruce Otto, junior, is a chemistry
major. He served in the Senate
second semester of his freshman
year, was junior class vice-presi-dent,
and was on the Welcome
Week committee last fall.
Bruce has played in band all
three years and will be a student
mer school at Macalester and for
the past six summers has taught
at the University of Indiana where
he plans to return for at least
one more summer.
Mr. Bloom is a member of Phi
Delta Kappa, National Honorary
Society in Education, and Psi Chi,
National Honorary Socity in Psy-chology.
He is listed in Who's Who
in the Midwest and Who's Who in
American Education and has writ-ten
a chapter in Personnel Re-search
and Test Development in
the Bureau of Navy Personnel
published by the Princeton Uni-versity
Press.
missionary this summer in British
Columbia, Canada.
For next year Bruce envisions
more student involvement in cam-pus
life through student represen-tation
on faculty and administra-tion
committees, revision of chapel
services though the religious and
chapel committees and any other
means necessary, a strong student
voice on new campus planning,
a n d liberalization of women's
Lours.
Bruce supports the present dis-ciplinary
structures of the school,
does not want to see student finan-cial
autonomy in the near future,
and thinks it is a good idea to keep
Cie coffee shop and library closed
during chapel.
Dave Shupe, junior anthropology
major, is being supported as a
write-in candidate by an ad-hoc
committee of students concerned
over the results of the primary
election.
Dennis Olsen, spokesman for the
group, stated, "The ad hoc commit-tee
felt a person was needed with
behind-the-scenes influence, good
relations with the administration, a
great deal of tact, and the intellect-ual
ability to deal effectively with
the administration. Dave has prov-ed
his abilities through the good
job he did as student body vice-president
this year. He is an ex-cellent
candidate to do the behind-the-
scenes hard work that is so
necessary for the job of student
body president.

The highlight of his career, said
Mr. Bloom, was when Bethel was
accredited by the North Central
Association. When asked to com-ment
about the changes at Bethel
in the past 22 years, he stated that
the two that stood out in his mind,
among others, were the discontinu-ation
of Saturday morning classes
and the relaxation of the regula-tions.
Mr. Bloom and his wife have no
definite retirement plans as yet.
They would like to travel, but
other than that, Bloom plans to
keep busy gardening on their lot
and maybe making caramels once
in awhile — we hope!
Dragging a burned out piece of
radio equipment behind him,
Mark Kingsbeck, WBCS general
manager, went to the student sen-ate
meeting last week to plead
for additional funds from the sen-ate's
budget.
That was one of the most color-ful
events of the about an hour-long
meeting as senate members
began shuffling budget figures in
line with the recently announced
1969-70 budget appropriation of
$25,000 (trimmed from the $31,600
request).
In addition to budget considera-tions,
the senate named Leonard
Sammons "senator emeritus,"
granted Dave Shupe, vice presi-dent,
permission to get married,
and heard a preliminary report
from the North Central review
team.
The senate unanimously ap-proved
a motion, submitted by
Gary Mueller, Thomas Ford and
Martha Tatter, which stated: "Be
it moved that the honor of sen-ator
emeritus be bestowed upon
Leonard Ray Sammons."
Mueller explained that Sammons
was completing three years of
perfect attendance at senate meet-ings
in which he had "contributed
much and detracted much, made
many friends and made many en-emies."
Janet Hurt submitted a motion
that the senate authorize its vice
president to take a wife, and that
the authorization will become void
after June 1, 1969, if not acted
upon by said date. The motion
passed with Senators Ford and
Carlson casting the only no votes.
Greg Taylor, president, gave the
senate a report of the preliminary
findings of the examiners from
the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools.
Strongs points of the college, ob-served
by the reviewers, included
dedication of the faculty, integra-tion
of academics, utility of the
faculty meetings, the existence of a
faculty personnel committee, effi-ciency
of the library, student in-volvement
in faculty committees
and financial accounting system.
Bethel's weak points, according
to the report, are the ambiguity
of the seminary-college relation-ship,
the need of a counselling
service, the procedures of selecting
deans, a high percentage of part-time
teachers, college division on
department basis rather than di-vision
lines, the homogeneity of
the student body, salary structure
for the faculty, the high percentage
of the operational budget being

The University commission is-sued
its report on March 12. The
report stated that damage was,
under the circumstances, "surpris-ingly
moderate," and that after
two months of investigation the
commission could not determine
which students, if any, caused the
damage.
There is no doubt that the Grand
Jury had the right to issue the
indictment. There is no doubt that
the courts can legally punish the
offenders, if there is a case against
any one of the demonstrators. But
there is also no doubt that the
Grand Jury made a serious blund-er
in taking that action, and that
the court will make another blund-er
if it does not drop those charges.
The incident was a University
affair; its solution by the Univer-sity
without outside help represent-ed
a significant step in the solu-tion
of problems which give rise
to the incident. The action of the
Grand Jury could be a dangerous
precedent of "police" interference
in University procedures.
This is especially true since the
University never requested police
action. The Grand Jury did not
wait for the University Commission
to issue its report, which made it
clear that any action against one
or a few of the demonstrators
would be ill-advised and impracti-cal.
The indictment charged incite-ment
to riot when there were no
riots, property damage when that
damage was repaid, and unlawful
entry when the indicted persons
were never informed of the un-lawfulness
of their actions. The
indictment was, to put it bluntly,
stupid.
There will be a march on the
courthouse from the mall in front
of the Coffman Union on the
morning of Thursday, April 3, the
day of the arraignment. The
marchers will demand that the
charges be dropped. They will not
be marching to support the black
student's actions or their demands.
It is a worthy cause, and an im-portant
one, especially, perhaps,
for us at a college like Bethel,
which has always been against
state interference in the educa-tional
process. C.M.
SORRY!
Due to a lack of funds, a lack
of time, and the probable lack
of a reading public by Thursday
of next week, this will be the

Bethel, to fulfill goals, Students plan indictment protest march
must 'redefine the ideal'
As students at a Christian college, we are in a strange
position. We are on both ends of the generation gap. Our
Christian values are with one of the most conservative of re-ligious
groups, and our social values are with one of the most
rebellious of generations. To the members of both groups, we
must seem like a contradiction in terms.
We grew up in fundamental churches. But for many of the
members of those churches, Christianity has come to be tied
to a set of social values which have nothing at all to do with
Christianity. Christianity implies capitalism, Christianity im-plies
Americanism, Christianity implies not smoking, implies
beardlessness and crewcuts, and not playing cards and not
going to movies, and much more.
Those people look at the young person who has rejected
one or more of those social values and identify him as somehow
"unChristian." So we have a church with a gospel that we want
and a code that we don't want.
On the other hand, we have the kids we grew up with,
who at the same time can hold unbounded hope for the future
and no hope at all. It is a generation of idealism, rebelling
against prejudice, with a great concern for helping other peo-ple.
They, too, have seen the church, the fundamental church,
our church, and they have seen how closely it has been tied
to that very set of values that they are rebelling against.
And they have rejected it; rejected it so strongly that they
seek to destroy it with the rest of the "system." So we have
our generation, with an openness and an idealism that we
want and a rejection of Christianity that we don't want.
"You can't be Christians and do those things and dress
that way. You are radicals."
"You can't be a real person and cater to the establishment
like that. God is irrelevant and you are reactionaries."
Radicals . . . reactionaries. It's tough being both at the
same time And so we come to Bethel, looking for a way to
become "turned-on" Christians. But Bethel frustrates us, be-cause
we can tell as soon as we get on campus what we are
"expected" to be, and we do not want to be that.
Those expectations are not written out; there is no bureau
for imposing them and no police force for enforcing them.
But they are very evident. It is that image that someone from
Hamline sees as the "typical Bethel student." It is that typical
student that few of us think we are and few of us want to be.
But you do not play your stereo loud enough to offend
that student. You do not write Clarion articles which would
displease that student. You do not grow a beard; that student
does not do that. You do not play cards; that student might
stumble. These things are small — like bees, and like bees
they are irritating.
That student, because the rules are made with him in
mind, becomes identified as the ideal, an ideal which is defined
in any different ways. But that ideal is not practical, and it is
not desirable — and it does not fit the actual norm. Because
we are not that student, we feel less at home here.
If Bethel is to become an exciting place to live and to
learn, that ideal must be redefined to allow more variation.
Redefining the ideal can mean a lot of things. It means movies
on campus; it means allowing cards in the dorms; it means re-laxing
women's hours.
• But more than anything else it means a continuing dialogue
between the administration and the students, a dialogue which
can best be carried on by the Senate and the Association Presi-

To the editor:
While we acknowledge the legal
right of the Hennepin County at-torney
and the Grand Jury to
act as they have in the University
of Minnesota Morrill Hall incident,
we regret the indictment of the
three students (Rosemary Freeman,
Horace Huntley and Warren Tuck-er)
and the issuance of a "John
Doe" warrant for arrest.
We believe the action of the
Grand Jury and the County At-torney
is destructive toward reso-lution
of the University's internal
problems. It is also an affront to
the University's own investigative
procedures since the Grand Jury
Last spring the Afro-American Action Committee (AAAC) presented
a list of demands to the University of Minnesota administration. Included
in the demands were provisions for scholarships for black students and
the formation of a program of black studies.
In January, nine months later, the AAAC felt that the U of M was
not acting quickly enough on the agreements that had been reached.
AAAC members again met with administrators.
After the discussion, the black students claimed that U of M
president Malcom Moos was unresponsive, and occupied the office of
bursar, admissions, and records in Morrill Hall. They began the sit-in
on the afternoon of January fourteenth.
That evening they were joined by several hundred supporters.
Other students began gathering outside. The demonstrators moved office
furniture in front of the doors, apparently to prevent violent contact
between the two opposing groups of students.
By 1:00 p.m. the next day the AAAC was satisfied that the Uni-versity
would uphold its agreements — and the sit-in ended. Damage
to Morrill Hall was eventually estimated at $6,000. Moos emphasized that
the basic records were intact.
About a week after the sit-in, a University commission was estab-lished
to investigate the incident. State legislators seemed to be satis-fied
that the University was on top of the situation, and the Board of
Regents backed Moos' handling of the takeover.
Then, on March third, the Hennepin County Grand Jury returned
an indictment against "Horace Huntley, Rose Mary Freeman, Warren
Tucker, Jr., Richard Roe and Jane Doe," for damage to property, inciting
to riot, and unlawful assembly. The charges are punishable with six-year
prison terms.

Student views new campus "academic area plan"
(Editor's note: Recent presentations concerninc
construction and plans for the new campus have
prompted some student discussion of physical housing
arranaernents. The following is one student's reaction
to a suggested "academic area" cluster setup.)
by Kay Bowman
What will Bethel College be like two years from
now? The Arden Hills Campus might present a vastly
different picture from what we have today.
Included in the cluster concept of the new cam-pus
and its living-learning principle is the idea that
one learns through all facets of life—where he lives
and plays, as well as in the classroom.
Bet!-:el has not yet decided which of several pos-sible
approaches will be adopted for its four proposed
dormitory-clusters. The clusters could be divided (1)
mainly by classes: (2) according to choice or random
assingment; or (3) by academic areas (these would
probably include humanities, natural scieinces, social
sciences, and professional groups.)
The later arrangement, which has been the most
discussed, brings several questions to mind for many
students.
According to this year's catalog, "the foremost aim
of the program in the liberal arts at Bethel College is
to help each person realize his unique and sacred
potentialities and to make his own best contribution
to society . . ."
Can this best be achieved by surrounding a
person with students in common courses and majors
or by letting him be involved with students of vari-ous
interests? It is really necessary to divide our-selves
into academic groups in order to learn from
living experiences? Since Bethel is a liberal arts
college, would living and interacting constantly with
people of similiar majors be in keeping with the goals
of a liberal education?
The academic-area arrangement may actually
limit students. College officials have said the cluster
concept "forces people to think and work together."
On the contrary, the academic-area arrangement seems
to imply only forcing students of similar fields to in-teract
with one another. Does this mean a person who
majors in one field has nothing in common or can
gain nothing from roommates of another major?
It may create greater competition. One basic con-cept
of the cluster college has been stated: "Education
is more than course structure. It is also extracur-ricular
activities . . ." One study of a cluster college
in California has shown (1) competition became very
intense; (2) students became more academically ori-ented
than interested in extra-curricular activities;
and (3) students developed a tremendous sense of
pride. Is Bethel's goal to create more intellectual
and less social growth, more individual competition
and extreme pressure?
There would be unequal distribution of students,
or else difficulties in construction arrangements.
If students were divided in clusters according to their
majors, there would be unequal numbers of men and
women—such as natural sciences where there would
be more men and professional (elementary education,
social work, etc.) where there would be far more wo-men.
Since the number of majors fluctuates each year,
would building clusters with adequate facilities and
allowing for some vacant rooms be too costly for
Bethel?
It would force an early choice of majors. Fresh-men
would need to know their major in order to be
placed in the right cluster. If he were unsure, the ar-rangement
would hamper opportunities to interact
with a variety of people in different fields.
It assumes Bethel is too large an instittglon to
be "personal." The cluster concept emphasizes the
"person over the institution." It attempts to create a
presonal atmosphere among students. Would the
growth of an individual be stunted by dividing such
a small student body into four distinct areas?

After the Pepperland column of March 6 (about hitch-hiking
to church), I got this anonymous letter in my P.O.:
Dear Mr. Pepper,
Do I read you right ? You are trying to im-press
the public with the fact that you are a
church-goer, and therefore all good Clarion
readers should follow your good example:
1—Spend your last penny on doughnuts; the
preacher who spent hours studying Gal.
6 is not worthy of one's measly left-over
19 cents. Fill one's own belly first.
2—The waitress who doesn't go to church could
not possibly be interested in God, there-fore,
don't invite her to church. Don't
leave a tip for her, either; she doesn't go
to church on Sunday morning.
3—Instead of jogging to church or calling
someone who has a car with gas, scrounge
off a naughty man who doesn't go to
church on Sunday, but wears work-clothes
and smokes sinful cigarettes.
4—James Baldwin's quote from The Fire Next
Time: "If the concept of God has any
validity or use, it can only be to make
us larger, freer, and more loving . . ."
applies only to Bethany church members.
Bethel students like us can forget it.
We are above such nonsensical concepts.
5—Sunday church-going is to criticize others.
It is not really meant to stimulate a
meaningful God experience for one's self.
J.C. really meant we should be pepper, not
salt in this needy world.
Thanks for the tips on Bethel ethics. Now
I know how to act next Sunday.
Your classmate
P.S. I'm curious about one thing. Did you try
the Blessitt blast on the Rose Bowl kid and the
no-church-go man ?
Dear "classmate,"
The answers to your questions are "No." and "No." Now,
on to your accusations:
(1) Touche! Score one for you.
(2) Mister Donut forbids tipping.
(3) I like to hitchhike.
(4) Huh? What are you trying to say?
(5) Sunday church-going is to stimulate a meaningful
God experience. This column provides the oppor-tunity
to pepper.
That puts the score at three for me, one for you, and one
doubtful. You lose.
You're welcome.

Student Association President
On Friday last past, Margie
Whaley, Clarion editor, and I at-tended
the Board of Education
sessions at their quarterly meeting.
"The Board of Education shall
maintain and supervise the work
of Bethel College and Seminary."
Through this body President Lund-quist
is responsible to the Confer-ence.
Though student representatives
were recalled to have been present
in the misty past, our presence
was without immediate precedent
and perhaps signified a further-ance
of "student power."
Probably three topics of discus-sion
on Friday (formal voting by
the 15-man 'board follows the next
day of the meetings) raised mat-ters
of vital concern to students of
the college.
The problem of maintaining aca-demic
freedom while soliciting
funds for the new campus from
foundations became apparent. The
superficial question of using liquor
industry profits for this purpose
seemed often to cloud the more
serious threat to academic free-dom
however.
Next, ten prospective faculty
members (including two for the
social sciences department!) were
announced for acceptance by vote
of the Board.
In the evening session the buck
passed to Burton Wessman who
presented the sad projections for
next year's financing of the Col-lege.
Again, despite the criticism
of the North Central examiners,
students through increased enroll-ment
and tuition will carry about
90% of the cost of operating the
College!
Although Mr. Wessman is doing
a fantastic job, he is limited to
this option for raising revenue,
and we all shared a sense of guilt
for eating-up so many jelly-beans
during the sessions — if not the
need for ways to lower this percen-tage.
The business acumen of our
Board members was continually
impressive, except for the minor
problem of charging students too
much. For being elected by the
Conference, they are men of ex-ceptional
ability. Missing on the
other hand was the presence of
professional educators in their
ranks, and this is the area they
seemed weak in.
Maybe at this point the beauty
and logic of "student power" can
be more fullly appreciated. At ev-ery
opportunity between sessions,
and occasionally during, the mem-bers
sought our views on every
imaginable topic and expressed
their pleasure with our presence.
The men were as open and re-ceptive
to our thoughts as they
were to share the burdens of de-cision
making.
What can be more appropriate

MUSICAL MENAGERIE
Mrs. Paul Christian holds one of about 25 flutes in their
collection as Dr. Christian (above) examines a waldzither —
one of the latest acquisitions in the "musical menagerie" in
the Christians' home.

RA'S—ALWAYS ON DUTY
Pat Sandberg (R), one of Hagstrom's RA's, tries to squeeze in a little studying as she as-sumes
"desk duty" twice a week. John Cowan, a Edgren RA takes a few minutes to visit
with one of this semester's new students.

"A damsel with a dulcimer—
In a vision once I saw:—It was an
Abyssinian maid,—And on her dul-cimer
she played,��Singing of
Mount Abora." So wrote the poet
Samuel Taylor Coleridge in "Kuk-la
Kahn!'
A visitor to the home of Dr.
and Mrs. Paul Christian, however,
can view not only a dulcimer, but
may see many other musical in-struments
as well. While t h e y
don't have an "Abyssinian maid,"
Christians do have American zith-ers,
mandolins, concertinas, banjos,
guitars, and flutes.
That such a collection exists may
come as a surprise to many Bethel
students. Christians' doctorate,
after all, is in biology. It might be
easier to picture him as a collector
of zoological specimens (he has
these as well) — he is in fact a
recognized expert on the leaf-hop-per.
But Dr. Christian was a music
major, specializing in voice, when
he attended Moody Bible Institute.
And Mrs. Christian earned a bach-elor
of music degree at Wheaton:
She is currently one of Bethel's
organ instructors.
Within just six years (three of
serious collecting), they have ga-thered
an impressive and varied
collection of musical instruments,
both the ordinary and especially
the unusual.
A harp in the entrance hallway
may be the first instrument spotted
by a visitor to the Christian's
house, but the bulk of the col-lection
is located in the adjacent
living room. Here, among such fa-miliar
items as a piano and an or-gan,
and as much a part of the
decor as the fireplace and the
tapestry, are original props of part
of the pageant of music history.
Zithers may be observed fasten-ed
to living room and hallway
walls.
According to Mrs. Christian, the
"poor man's piano" was an in-strument
used in many places but
its American modifications were
first patented in 1894. The zither
looks something like a squared
guitar and was sold, comparative-ly
inexpensively, from door-to-door
as well as in mail order catalogs.
It was not difficult to play (music
was played by numbers), but it
easily became out of tune and, as
Mrs. Christian said, "It took a mu-sician
to tune one."
Interest in this instrument is re-vealed
by the Christian's possession
of "ninety-five or ninety-seven" of
Thursday, March 27, 1969
them and by their hopes to some-time
do research on the American
zither. (As far as they know, no
one has previously done so.)
Another obsolete instrument in
their collection is the concertina.
In many ways these "squeeze box-es"
resemble accordians, though
they are smaller and• simpler in
construction. Their sound is creat-ed
by air in a way similar to a
harmonica. Once emitted, t h e
sound resembles that of a har-monica
as well.
The mandolin is another instru-ment
owned by the Christians that
is in the no-longer-in-use category.
Mandolins are stringed instruments
and come in different shapes. They
somewhat resemble a bowled gui-tar
and their nicknames — "potato
bugs" — make them appropriate
items for the Christians' collection.
The Christians also, of course,
have a dulcimer. "It was a prede-cessor
of the piano;" Mrs. Christian
explained, "and is a hammered
instrument." The Christians also
have a reproduction of an Appa-lachian
dulcimer, an offspring that
is played by plucking.
A more familiar instrument in
the Christians' collection is the
flute. The Christians' collection of
flutes traces the modern flute's
development. Their flutes come
from Bach's time: 1700's, the first
transverse flute, a one-keyed in-strument;
to the recorder of the
turn of the 18th century; the four-keyed
flute of Hadyn and Mo-zart;
the eight-keyed flute of Beet-hoven;
to the twelve-keyed flute
Student leaders...
class, and president of his sopho-more
class. Rich has also been a
member of the varsity track team
for two years.
He would like to reduce the
alienation between student and stu-dent
leaders, and feels this could
be done having the vice-president
serve as a public-relations man for
student government.
Rich has no specific programs he
would like to see inaguarated for
next year. However, he intends to
push for promising programs as
they may arise next year. _
Maurice Zaffke, junior, is un-decided
about his major. Maurice
is a relative new-comer to Bethel,
having previously attended Oak
Hills Bible Institute, Wheaton Col-lege,
and Macalester:
Maurice is presently politically
after 1860, and the Boehem flute.
The Christians also , have such
strange and/or unusual instru-ments
as: a harp on a zither-action
body (which they can not more
specifically identify); a symphony
harp guitar; a piano harp (which
was played by plucking); repro-ductions
of a Renaissance-type
horn and an early French horn,
as well as a couple of real bu-gles
— one perhaps from the Am-erican
Revolution; and even a set
of bagpipes.
How do the Christians come up-on
such instruments? How have
they compiled their menagerie of
music-makers?
As Mrs. Christian relates, "We
buy the instruments, then find out
what they are. We can usually re-cognize
an obsolete instrument, but
we may wait until we're home to
identify it. Experience has helped
us."
Second hand stores, antique
shops, and even junk stores have
been the source of most of the col-lection.
Twice a month, four hours
at a time — during the school
year — and certain half-days dur-ing
the summer the Christians take
time to attempt to augment their
collection.
But acquisition is only one step;
often Dr. Christian must recondi-tion
the instruments as well. And
that is not all: to maintain them
in such a state, further repair
may sometimes be necessary. Such
care makes it seem that the musi-cal
museum almost takes a bio-logical
character.

He was on the U.S. National Stu-dent
Association national staff to

In these days when students are
concerned with various leadership
capacities for next year, one posi-tion
which receives less public
attention is that of the resident
assistant.
In the near future applicants for
this job will be evaluated and about
twenty students will be chosen
to act as dormitory leaders for
1969-70.
If the R.A.'s were to present a
platform, it would likely take the
form of the following:
1. I promise to have unlimited
endurance with all the "frivolous"
frosh, even if it means being dump-ed
in a wastebasket full of water
and carried to another dorm.
2. I promise to put my job be-fore
any of my other interests
(girl/boyfriends and studying).
3. I promise never to get angry
when my room is sacked, flooded,
or invaded.
4. I promise to serve as referee
in any room where there is a hor-rendous
clash of personalities, with
books flying or tears flowing.
5. I will attempt to set a good
example in my actions and spirit-ual
life.
6. I promise to hold to an
"open-door" policy for my room
—to sit and listen and listen and
listen . . .
7. I will strive to give friendly
advice to all those who need it
(regardless of race, color, or creed),
never nagging or betraying con-fidences.
8. I will seek for the wisdom and
justice of Solomon, and the con-sistency
and patience of Job.
9. I promise to remember what
I went through my freshman year,
adjusting to college and dormi-tory
life, and try to direct others
with that in mind.
10. I strongly advocate unity,
openness, friendliness, spiritual
growth among the students on my
floor.
These jobs, for which applica-tions
are now available, must be
filled by juniors or seniors or by
seminary students. Those selected,
according to Donald Rainbow, will
be persons who can relate well
and efficiently to others. They
should be respected by acquaint-ances
in all areas of their life —
spiritually, academically, and so-cially.

Kingsbeck offered the following

(Editor's Note: This article is the
first in a series planned to intro-duce
the 12 students who have
been selected to participate in this
summer's "student Missionary pro-gram.")
by Karen Nelson
Tears of joy burst forth when
Gayle McCandless learned she had
been selected as one of Bethel's
student missionaries and would be
traveling to Japan this summer.
Gayle, who comes to Bethel from
San Diego, Calif., said she previous-ly
had done little thinking about
"foreign" missions as such, but
rather telling people about Christ
wherever she was.
In high school her two main
activities were the editorship of
the yearbook and work with the
YFC Campus Life groups. She
also participated in a Caravan pro-gram,
which consisted of a group
of students taking a week or two
to go into a community in Ari-zona
or New Mexico to work with
the people and present Christ.
As a sophomore at Bethel, Gayle
is the editor of the Spire and chap-lain
of Bodien Dormitory. Even
with this busy schedule, she finds
time to go to Sorini's Pizza at
least once or twice a week to wit-ness
about Christ.
Her college major is a little
indefinite at the moment, but
Gayle is thinking about a double
major in psychology and Christian
education. She has considered
Hopkins, Parent

Calvin Parent and John Hopkins,
music education majors, will pre-sent
their joint recital at 8 p.m.
Saturday in Seminary Hall.
Parent, trombonist, will be ac-companied
by Karen Hale, a 1968
graduate of Bethel. He will be fea-turing
major works from the Ba-roque,
Romantic and contemporary
periods including the Blazhevich
Concerto No. 2 in D flat major.
Parent is a student of Julius Whit-inger.
Hopkins, baritone, will be ac-companied
by Linda Dow as he
gives his second senior recital
completing requirements for a dou-ble
performance area major, voice
and clarinet.
Included in John's performance
will be arias from the oratorios,
"Elijah," and "The Seven Last
Words of Christ"; the Mozart opera,
"Don Giovanni," German lieder,
sacred classics and spirituals. Hop-kins
is a student of Oliver Mogck.

working with teens, and possibly
in England, after graduation.
As far as her near future is con-cerned,
Gayle is looking forward
to a busy summer. Being a student
missionary is no easy job — no
paid vacation. Preparation includes
reading as least two selected an-thropology
books and writing a
paper on the country.
Gayle will be part of a group
of students sent all over the world
through The Evangelical Alliance
Misson (TEAM). Departure will be
from Seattle on June 21. Definite
assignments for the summer have
not yet been given so Gayle isn't
sure where or in what capacity she
will be working.
One of the frustrations Gayle
faces is that she doesn't know the
language. She is working on it
though, and already has mastered
"good morning, good afternoon
and good evening."
Although Gayle's 6'1" height
may literally cause her to "stoop
to the level" of the average smaller
Japanese people, her characteristic
humility and enthusiasm for Christ
is sure to overcome any physical
dimensions.
Already the experience has been
a learning one for Gayle. "The
Interim program
no tuition rebate if a student
drops out. A student concluding
his school work at Bethel or trans-ferring
out at mid-year may choose
to enroll or not enroll for the
Interim. Students matriculating in
at the mid-year may begin either
with the Interim or the second
semester. The tuition will be the
same."
The report also stated: "At pres-ent,
a student may take up to 18
semester hours without paying ad-ditional
tuition. In the S-I-S pro-gram,
a student will be able to
earn 33 total credits by taking 15-
3-15, or he can work any combina-tion
which coincides with his aca-demic
program."
The dean's report on the inter-im
program concluded with these
personal comments: "As Dean, I
could wish for more time to re-flect
and study the future program.
I have seriously given thought to
abandoning the entire calendar
change, make an administrative
decision to stay by the current
calendar. In some ways, this would
have been easier, even though mis-understandings
and disappointment
would have ensued.
"However, as I have viewed the
new calendar, I believe that by

Lord has taught me that no matter
where I am I must use my oppor-tunities
to communicate and live
for Him — whether at home work-ing
in a department store or a-cross
the seas in Japan," Gayle
said.
"We student missionaries are
not the 'extra-special' pious stu-dents.
We have just been given an
opportunity on a real away-from-hoMe
mission field," she added.

In a Tuesday afternoon meeting
in the Student Services office a
committee of four Bethel Women,
one representative of each class,
presented the results of a Student
Association referendum vote to the
various Deans.
On the previous Friday the ref-erendum
passed by nearly a three
to one margin; the exact vote was
270 yes to 95 no.
After evaluating the political tac-tics
used by the committee to de-termine
public opinion, each de-mand
was discussed separately. The
Dean of Women, Miss Marilyn
Starr, outlined basic disadvantages
for each change.
She questions the individual
wisdom of any girl taking the
opportunity to leave the building
at any unnamed hour of the night.
The committee refuted that wis-dom
was a personal value judge-ment
and rules could not be es-tablished
on individual isolated in-cidents.
Secondly, Miss Starr presented
the probability that some girls
would take advantage of their
apartment-mates by intimidating
them into leaving when her date
was present in the apartment. This
was conceded by the rest of the
group to be a possibility; however,
it was noted this would be a matter
to be determined by all occupants
of the facility to help develop re-sponsibility.
Also discussed was the incon-sistency
in regulations of male
and female students. At this point
the possibility of hour regulations
for freshmen was presented. The
Dean of Men, Donald Rainbow,
said he definitely opposed such a
move. However, he said the women
should have equal respect.
An ultimate decision still re-mains
in the hands of a committee
of representatives from the Bethel
Womens Association and the man-ors.
The referendum group will
meet with them shortly after Eas-ter
break.
Dean Muck also stated that there
would be little pressure by the
constituency, because the only
power would lie in the possible
veto by the Board of Education.

Thinclads split in triangular
Eethel's track team came back from St. Olaf last
Friday with a loss to the St. Olaf "B" squad but also
a victory over Pillsbury in the triangular meet.
St. Olaf, which is one of the strongest track
schools in the state. walked off with 65 points to
Bethel's 44 and Pillsbury's 32. It was not all that
easy, however, as Bethel kept it close and was even
ahead halfway through the meet.
The Royal's strong point came when they scored
17 points of a possible 30 in three jumping events.
The biggest and happiest surprise was when Bob
Olsen took first in the broad jump. Dave Pearson
tied for first in the high jump to keep a tenuous
string of first place finishes in the category.
Fritz Fredeen took first in the high hurdle event
with Lehman trailing a bit behind.
Rick Berggren only managed third in the 880

yard dash, but it was enough to set another school
record. His time bettered the old record by Edgar
Peterman by almost two seconds.
The small size of Bethel's squad is telling. The
team lacks the depth it needs to finish strong. The
squad does have several strong performers and con-sidering
the tough competition they face, have been
doing a commendable job.
Also, it is still early in the season, while three
of the four teams they have run against have excel-lent
indoor facilities. If the improvement that should
be expected comes, the track team should come up
with some impressive victories while also shattering
several school records.
(The Clarion inadvertently ommitted mention of
Rick Berggren's school record in the 1,000 yard run
in the Superior State track meet. His time bettered
the old mark by a dozen seconds.)

Seddefte Symposium
by Wally Borner
First Floor pulled off its second straight Intramural bas-ketball
championship with another 9-0 record. Andy Lehman
was the big man for the team, but the thing that made them
perhaps a much better team than last year was the addition
of Dave Pound. Dave became an R.A. on the first floor last
fall, and thus joined Murray Sitte at guard to provide a de-fense
stickier than peanut butter and honey.
Last year, First Floor did lose a game, however, when
Off Campus defeated them in the first annual post-season
tournament. This year the tournament will be repeated, but it
appears doubtful that an upset will be in the offing.
Off Campus tied for fourth place with New Dorm. Thus
the two teams will have to play each other to decide the fourth
participant in the tournament. The game will be held at 8
p.m. next Monday. In the only Saturday "A" League action of
the year, Off Campus was hit by an employment bug and
forfeited to New Dorm so this will be the first meeting be-tween
the two clubs.
The tournament will be held after Easter vacation with
the first round games falling on Thursday, April 17. The
championship game will probably be held on the following
Friday night with the whole campus community cordially
invited. * * * *
Off Campus had the most potent offense of the season
as they averaged a shade over 72 points a game. Doug Carlson
began the season scoring 34 points and wrapped up the scoring
title on the last game of the season as he chalked up 52 points
in the 124-63 romp over the Faculty.
First Floor was the defensive stand out as they averaged
almost 30 points a game over their opponents.
Second Old lost to First Floor in the first game of the
season, but without the services of Dick Hunter. Hunter has
given his team the rebound strength to hoist it to second place.
Falcon plays a steady game with most of the scoring re-sponsibility
lying on Lee Mattson. However, Jim Wessman has
been a high scorer from his post position, particularly on of-fensive
rebounds. Ken Irons helps Wess on the defensive
boards and always can be counted on to pop a few from the
corner.
New Dorm was not expected to finish as high as they did;
however, they put together a team that won when it had to.
The return of Don Brandsma to school gave it the lift that it
needed. Jim Youngquist's height was also a much used asset.
The first round of the tournament will find the pairings
as follows: First Floor vs. Off Campus or New Dorm and Second
Old vs. Falcon.

Along with the coming of Spring
and the melting of that cold white
stuff come spring sports such as
track, golf, baseball, and tennis.
Soon all these sports begin compe-tition.
April 18th marks the begin-ning
of another Bethel tennis sea-son.
Top three players on last year's
team - Bill Peterson, Craig An-derson,
and John Tegenfelt - were
lost by graduation so this will be
a rebuilding year. However, there
are two lettermen back, senior
Gaylord Anderson and sophomore
Gary Ask.
Transfer Gary Hasselblad is
counted on to help the team's for-tunes.
Freshmen Steve Bloom,
Steve Duininck, and Dennis McCar-ty
are the other members of the
team. Dale Lindwall who lettered
last year will not be playing this
season.
For the last couple of weeks
the team has been having indoor
practices at the St. Paul Rackets
club so they should be ready for
the upcoming meets. It is certain
that they are waiting for the Beth-el
courts to be cleared so they
can have outside practices.
Last year's Royal team had a rec-ord
of three wins and four losses
as some meets were cancelled by
the unpredictable Minnesota wea-ther.
This year there are twelve
meets scheduled and the success
depends highly on the ability and
improvement of the new players.
