STUDENT ASSOCIATION PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES As a result of last Friday's Primary election, contenders were narrowed down to two official candidates for presidential and vice-presidential posts. Tom Mesaros (L) and Bruce Otto will vie for student association president. Vol. XLIII—No. 23 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn.

Although the senate did not act on other activity expenses, cont'd on page 4 by Pat Faxon 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 Marjorie Rusche 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. VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES Rich Berggren, sophomore, is a speech major. He has served as vice-president of the Freshman cont'd on page 4 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 Veteran professor plans retirement Bloom terminates career at Bethel AS SEEN BY etIRI II 11,,t co-ED VIM,‘ /4f..1401.1.5ENICITHER- - NI.g6Ei OFFICE-r 7ig4 et, -1/tic LiegARIAN 11 l III r 1. "-'3 - -in GUY JUST PINNED 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!

Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, March 27, 1969 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- -C.M. BETHEL FORUM Candidates support march 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. Do lightsocks show shallowness? (Editor's note: In the Clarion's the dictum 'Don't trust anyone over mail bag this week was an en- 30').

Shupe, Richard Berggren, Maurice Zaffke 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?

Constructive "student power" grows PefrAfidgA4 Students attend board sessions by Chuck Myrbo 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.

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. by Greg Taylor 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 than consulting those for whom the decisions are made? And so we look forward to Student Association representation at future Board meetings on a formal basis! A report of the official actions of Saturday's board of education session includes the following: ebaprt by Pastor Maurice Lawson Next week is Holy Week.

The Lord's Supper will be com-memorated by the Bethel communi-ty on Wednesday evening at 7 and 8:30 p.m. in Seminary Hall chapel. The week after Easter will begin with the choir from Grand Rapids Bible College, and end with a con-cert by Calvin Marsh, Christian opera singer. 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. When in the course of Bethel events RA's turn political? 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. Page 4 the CLARION by Dave Greener "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. from page 1 active on a local level as a Libera-tion Coalition steering committee member. At Bethel Maurice is serv-ing on the Curriculum Committee. He was on the U.S. National Stu-dent Association national staff to assist small religiously affiliated liberal arts colleges in planning ac-tivities. Maurice would like to see re-vision o f present curriculum through the curriculum committee, a stronger student voice in new campus affairs, review of the col-lege's financial activities, reform of Senate structure and financing, reform in disciplinary procedures, and tightening up of lines of par-ticipation of representation from the student body to the student governing agencies. by Joy Whaley 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 reasons for the increased budget request: of dequipment is actually obsolete, but the station must con-tinue to repair and try to use it; there is a real need for expansion of the station's record library; and it is time to start preparing for expansion for operation at the new campus.

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 present recital 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. Thursday, March 27, 1969 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 the CLARION Page 5 Gayle McCandless 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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

Although the senate did not act on other activity expenses, cont'd on page 4 by Pat Faxon 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 Marjorie Rusche 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. VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES Rich Berggren, sophomore, is a speech major. He has served as vice-president of the Freshman cont'd on page 4 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 Veteran professor plans retirement Bloom terminates career at Bethel AS SEEN BY etIRI II 11,,t co-ED VIM,‘ /4f..1401.1.5ENICITHER- - NI.g6Ei OFFICE-r 7ig4 et, -1/tic LiegARIAN 11 l III r 1. "-'3 - -in GUY JUST PINNED 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!

Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, March 27, 1969 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- -C.M. BETHEL FORUM Candidates support march 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. Do lightsocks show shallowness? (Editor's note: In the Clarion's the dictum 'Don't trust anyone over mail bag this week was an en- 30').

Shupe, Richard Berggren, Maurice Zaffke 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?

Constructive "student power" grows PefrAfidgA4 Students attend board sessions by Chuck Myrbo 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.

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. by Greg Taylor 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 than consulting those for whom the decisions are made? And so we look forward to Student Association representation at future Board meetings on a formal basis! A report of the official actions of Saturday's board of education session includes the following: ebaprt by Pastor Maurice Lawson Next week is Holy Week.

The week after Easter will begin with the choir from Grand Rapids Bible College, and end with a con-cert by Calvin Marsh, Christian opera singer. 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. When in the course of Bethel events RA's turn political? 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. Page 4 the CLARION by Dave Greener "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. from page 1 active on a local level as a Libera-tion Coalition steering committee member. At Bethel Maurice is serv-ing on the Curriculum Committee. He was on the U.S. National Stu-dent Association national staff to assist small religiously affiliated liberal arts colleges in planning ac-tivities. Maurice would like to see re-vision o f present curriculum through the curriculum committee, a stronger student voice in new campus affairs, review of the col-lege's financial activities, reform of Senate structure and financing, reform in disciplinary procedures, and tightening up of lines of par-ticipation of representation from the student body to the student governing agencies. by Joy Whaley 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.

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 present recital 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. Thursday, March 27, 1969 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 the CLARION Page 5 Gayle McCandless 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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
