These and a number of other books were authored by
several of the distinguished speakers scheduled to participate
in Bethel's '69 Founders Week.
Founders Week guests
stress 'Christian Witness
in Revolutionary Times'
"Christian Witness in Revolu-tionary
Times" will be the theme
of events as many noted guest
speakers, Baptist General Confer-ence
leaders and Bethel alumni
converge on the campus next week
for the 26th annual Bethel Found-ers
Week.
Exploring evangelism and Chris-tian
witness, the theme is related
to the 1969 hemispheric Crusade
of the Americas.
In 'announcing Founders Week,
Dr. Carl Lundquist, president, said:
"Founders Week will bring to
Bethel Campus one of the most
distinguished arrays of guest speak-ers
ever to visit the school in a
single week. All are people upon
whom the evident blessing of God
is resting these days."
"From the Monday night ban-quet
featuring Arthur Blessitt, dir-ector
of His Place in Hollywood,
to the closing night rally to which
David Wilkerson, director of Teen
Center in New York City, has been
invited, a week-long stress will be
placed upon the contemporary rev-olution
in America as a potential
springboard for the dynamic new
Christian witness in our time," Dr.
Lundquist added.
Among guests for the week will
be Dr. Myron Augsburger, presi-dent
of Eastern Mennonite College,
bringing a series of messages on
"Theology for Evangelism in the
Twentieth Century." Three speak-ers
who will contribute to a series
of sessions in "Issues in Contemp-orary
Evangelism" include: Bruce
Larson editor of Faith at Work;
Arthur Whitaker, Negro pastor of
the St. Paul Pilgrim Baptist
Church, and Arthur Blessitt.
"Inner Resources for Witnessing"
will be discussed in two sessions
each by two other guests: Rosalind
Rinker, author of Conversational
Prayer and other books, and Wil-liam
Bright, director of Campus
Crusade.
Keith Miller, author of Taste of
New Wine and A Second Touch,
is to bring two messages on devo-tional
life.
A part of each afternoon will be
left open for an elective series
on special methodologies in evan-gelism.
(See Schedule, Page 4)
"I believe it most appropriate
that this week at Bethel be devoted
to evangelism because historically
the life of the Christian Church
has alternated between evangelism
and education," Dr. Lundquist said.
He continued: "These are but
two sides of the same coin. Witness

After the All-Campus Worship
Service, 11 a.m.-12, the regular
class schedule will resume.
If the fruits of long planning
and hard work are realized, Beth-el's
1969 Sno-Daze princess will
preside over dedication of an ice
skating rink in the center of
campus tonight.
A large rink which has been
constructed just south of the gym-nasium
is to play a big part in
this year's Sno-Daze events, com-plementing
the 1969 "Arctic Af-fair"
theme.
One of the four sophomore and
freshmen coeds vying for the Royal
title—Deborah Atkin, Nancy Knoll,
Julie Amelsberg and Virginia Mor-row—
will be announced as prin-cess
and presented at a coronation
ceremony, and then crowned on an
ice throne prepared for her ma-jesty
atop one of the rink's snow
islands.
Then, the princess is to lead a
special dedication of the rink to
"someone from the Bethel com-munity."
The rink, prepared by several
members of the Sno-Daze commit-tee,
is thought to be the first rink
on campus for at least a decade.
Completion of the project wasn't
nearly as easy as it was in the
1950's when one of Bethel's "old-timers"
recalls that the fire de-partment
used to flood the rink
annually for the school.
John Goodman and Ron Carlson
who headed this year's project en-countered
several problems, strug-gling
to flood the area with a gar-den
hose and then having a lack
of water pressure when they final-ly
located an old fire hose.
But barring any further diffi-culties,
such as unseasonably warm
weather, the Sno-Daze committee
expected that the ice could be
worked up and smoothed out in
time for coronation ceremonies.
If the rink is not completed in
time, plans will be changed to in-clude
an ice skating party at Como
Park or else a sleigh ride at Eatons.
The gymnasium is also to be
open from 7 p.m. on tonight for
warm-up for iceskaters, for volley-ball
or other activities.
The annual Sno-Daze formal ban-quet
arrangements made by the
1969 committee include a 7 p.m.
performance of "The End of Ra-mandan"
by a University of Minne-sota
workshop group at the Theatre
in the Round in downtown Minnea-polis.
Then, the group will go to the
nearby Curtis Hotel where a shrimp
or roast top sirloin dinner will
be served in the Cardinal Room.
Paul Goodman will be master
of ceremonies for the dinner pro-gram,
during which the presenta-tion
of the Sno-Daze princess and
court will be made.

ing discount system, in light of the recent
charges that have been made concerning its
equity?
Bergerud feels that terms of the present
system have been over-simplified by some of
those who argue against it. He believes that
the discount system is too intricate be re-duced
to 30-25-10 or 30-20-10 terminology.
Furthermore, Bergerud believes that existing
discounts in many cases are justified. Regard-ing
the faculty-administration discount, Ber-gerud
pointed out that several of Bethel's per-sonnel
could easily have greater incomes if
they were employed at different locations or
in other occupations. The discount, then, is at
least a small concession.
However, as he explains it, the faculty dis-count
is not all altruistic. It can work as an
incentive that brings increased patronization.
A further consideration is that the items pur-chased,
according to Bergerud, are frequently
things that are more profitable to the store,
such as luxury items.
As for the seminary-clergyman discount, Ber-gerud
points out that, in the case of seminari-ans,
financial hardships may be even more
acute than those of collegians. Seminarians
have had to pay for four years of college; their
depleted resources may even be further bur-dened
by the costs of supporting a wife and
new family. Also ,it is important that they
should be able to build their own libraries.
Furthermore Bergerud relates that Bethel's
discount policies on the seminary-clergy level
correspond with other Christian colleges and
bookstores. Bringing the matter close to home,
he reveals Bethel's store must compete with
the nearby Luther store.
What then, of discounts for Bethel's college
students? What about the "book club" propo-sal
advocated in a recent CLARION editorial?
(The January 10 editorial suggested a "book
club" where students would be given a thirty
percent discount on non-text books, with the
stipulation that they buy an agreed minimum,
such as $25 or $50.)
Bergerud has two basic objections against
the proposal: bookkeeping and equity. Regard-ing
bookkeeping, he maintains that the added
burden of trying to keep special notation of
such purchases would impair the bookstore's
efficiency. He indicts the proposal for possi-ble
inequities with the argument: "If a stu-dent
buys $22 worth he gets no discount. If
he buys $26 worth he does. There are op-portunities
for misunderstanding."
How, in Bergerud's opinion, might change
come about?
Bergerud has been working on a plan (which
he explained was started prior to the Clarion's
editorial) whereby a month would be set apart
during which library-building would be empha-sized.
At this time, "A generous (but not 30
percent) discount would be provided on a wide
range of both cloth bound and paperback non-text
books."
Beyond this, Bergerud is planning to offer
Bethel students a weekly "Bethel Student Spe-cial."
Under this plan, one special item per
week (such as toothpaste) would be sold at
a significant reduction in cost.
As for more encompassing, long-range plans
for giving students a greater discount Ber-gerud's
theory is that "The administration
should be in the advance guard of foreseeing
needs and evaluating the ability to help meet
needs. They are in a position to know over-all
circumstances that determine the policy
which will fit into the total situation." Ac-cording
to this theory, Bergerud would urge
students not to agitate or use radical demands,
but to participate through dialogue and sug-gestion.

'Student as Spelunker'
New campus concept Professor writes student analogies
causes "cluster-phobia"
It has been an exciting and historic experience this past
semester to watch the construction and utilization of the first
college dormitory on Bethel's new Arden Hills Campus.
College administrators likewise have been enthusiastic as
they have shared with students some of the long-range plans for
a "living-learning" theme of the new campus, recently adopted
by the board of education.
Unfortunately, the "cluster concept" arrangement for aca-demic
complexes on the new campus has cooled the anticipation
of a number of students. Perhaps without even a fair hearing
or understanding of the total perspective, some have been
"turned off" simply by the term.
"Clusters" seems to too aptly describe Christianity — at
least in much of the older generation who are often typified as
and accused of grasping instead of giving, clutching instead of
sharing, or sheltering instead of exposing their faith.
Thus, youth may well be expected—and even complimented
on their stand—to react negatively to another term to add to
the "cluster-phobia" of common Christianity.
Few would object that the proposed plan for "cluster" res-idences,
including academic and recreational areas related to
particular main areas of study, would be inconvenient or com-pletely
lacking advantages.
But as one college administrator put it, "The cluster col-lege
forces people to think and work together."
"Then, what about an individual's right for a conscious
choice of his associations? "some are asking. And can a living-learning
style of educational life actually bring a unity—oneness
or condition of harmony (not harmonizing factions)—to Bethel's
campus?
Unity does not usually come by strategic planning, nor
simply by forcing new arrangements for adaptability to a situ-tion.
Instead, it must come from within in order to be a true
unity��"a singleness of effect or symmetry, and interdepend-ence
on the parts and completeness and perfection of the
whole."
Or even better, unity must come from a sincere apprecia-tion,
understanding and concern for one another, as well as a
prayerful desire for the best of the whole community.
Bethel's "old campus" and second semester can be the
perfect time and place to do one's part, working toward Chris-tian
unity and against "cluster-phobia."
(Editor's note: A bookstore discount for stu-dents
has been discussed in recent isues of the
Clarion through editorials, as well as comments
and ideas from several administration and fac-
'Jay members. This week a Clarion reporter in-terview
Robert Bergerud, manager of the Beth-el
Bookstore for six years, about his views
on the much-discussed issue.)
by Dave Greener
What are some of Robert Bergerud's views
on the bookstore's purposes and the attain-ment
of these purposes?
As Bergerud sees it, "The primary purpose
of the bookstore is to serve the students by
having a good choice of books and other mer-chandise
to meet students' needs—at list or be-low
list price and at as fair a price as is pos-sible
in a small store."
With this philosophy in mind the bookstore,
according to Bergerud, has provided several
services for its patrons. It offers a film proc-essing
service. It sells—besides books—sport-ing
goods, clothing, records, and other such
items. According to Bergerud, the variety of
selection in the store is greater than some
stores which through lowering prices by buy-ing
inventories in bulk sometimes sacrifice
variety.
As regards prices Bergerud points out that
to his knowledge, other college bookstores in
the Twin Cities area do not give any discounts.
(Bethel's store currently offers students a 10
percent discount on hard cover, non-text
book.) Furthermore, in respect to overall dis-counts,
he postulates that Bethel ranks in the
95th to 100th percentile in the entire nation.
He reports that some people at many of the
book conventions he attends are amazed that
Bethel's bookstore, under these conditions, can
even make an even break at its annual revenue.
What are Bergerud's beliefs about the exist-

Last summer we visited Jewel
Cave in the Black Hills. They were
still spelunking there, so the girl
who sold the tickets warned that
anyone with a weak heart or claus-trophobia
should think twice about
undertaking the trip.
Jewel Cave was not the tourist
attraction that we had expected.
Stalactites and stalagmites had not
yet been given imaginative names;
spotlights had not yet been placed
strategically to show off the most
sensational formations.
We went through this cave with
gas lanterns, slipping and sliding,
climbing and crawling for nearly
an hour. It was here that I learned
a new word—spelunk—and some-thing
about the activity of spelunk-ers,
and come to think of it, spe-lunkers
and students have a lot
in common.
Enrolling for a course is some-thing
like buying a spelunking tick-et.
You're paying someone to take
you on an expedition—not a tour.
You're told that you will encounter
unfamiliar territory, that you'll go
off by yourself and investigate-t..
at's spelunking.
And that's education. As teacher
and student we make discoveries
together, and this leads you to
make some by yourself. A course
is not for tramping over safe and
familiar ground; rather, it is an
expedition which, when over,
leaves you with a new perspective
on reality. It is designed not to
"cover" material but to uncover'
ignorance. I know where I'm go-ing
and I have a map, but it doesn't
show all the details. You put your-self
in my hands and ask me to
do something about your ignorance.
Of course, if you don't have any,
or if you don't want me messing
around with it, spelunking is not
for you.
What is it that provokes this an-alogy
of spelunking and education?
To answer, let me respond with
another one. Ancient Latins, with
the maxim "caveat emptor" ("let
the buyer beware") were admon-ishing
shoppers to guard against
shabby treatment in the shops and
To the Editor:
Sammons may be fishy but he's
no phony. More than two hundred
people experienced total involve-ment
to the point of near-fatigue
with his eighteen renditions in the
short space of one hour. The most
obvious index of this was the
applause following each number—
an average of 14 seconds each.
The peak came with his rendi-tion
of "Somewhere My Love" (fol-lowed
by 19 seconds of applause)
and "Red Roses for a Blue Lady"
which evoked 18 seconds of ap-plause
and more foot-stomping,
hand-clapping and shouting than
stalls of ancient Rome. In the aca-demic
marketplace, about to fork
over $130 of someone's hard-earn-ed
cash to someone who will tell
you how to spend your time, you
ought to ask yourself whether you
really want to spend your time
that way!
Turning the Latin phrase a bit,
may I advise: caveat studens ("let
the student beware"). Are you
ready to spelunk, or do you want
the more conventional tour?
. .. The tourist can tramp along
for the fun of it, letting someone
else hold the lantern, listening to
the comments, doing what he is
told and staying out of trouble.
He can do his own conventional
thing. On the other hand, you can
follow the spelunker's route for
the same price. You'll need a good

Ylvisakers' "Thanksgiving" set to
the tune of "Windy."
If a baseball player gets a hit
every three times at bat, he's a
hero in anyone's ball park, and if
tie should go "two for three" for
any length of time, he's certain to
rewrite the record books. Sam-mons,
by such comparisons, is a
nero, for he demonstrated his ca-pacity
for (1) rhythm and (2) vol-ume,
failing only in (3) pitch. His
feel for tne intensity and duration
patterns represented in "normal"
renditions of these numbers was
ratner surprising. Admittedly, his
control of pitch left something to
be desired.
The sheer memory load in-volved
in the lyrics of these eigh-teen
numbers would be enough to
discourage most of us from at-tempting
a stunt like Sammons'.
The amazing thing throughout
the performance was that Sammons
was being himself. He copied no
one. He had his own style and
knew it, and he played it to the
What can possibly explain the
nearly total involvement of the
audience for those sixty minutes?
How can we account for the strong
identification with Sammons which
electrified the atmosphere? While
it is perhaps true that many in the
audience were curiosity-seekers or
sadists there must have been some-thing
much more subtle at work.
Perhaps Sammons just did what we
all do in private and secretly wish
we had nerve to do in public!
Stepping out as he did, Sammons
showed more than just traces of
charisma; he has just enough of
the prophet in him to make some
of the rest of us uncomfortable, at
times, in his presence. I have an
uneasy feeling that Sammons was
laughing just as hard (with?) us
as we were laughing at (with?) him.

Bethel boasts unique program
Students face professional semester
by Kathy Cotton
Apprehensive but excited ele-mentary
education majors recent-ly
began their last lap of under-graduate
study, the professional
semester, before their student
teaching experience.
It began with a two day leader-ship
workshop directed by Patrick
Churchill MEA director of student
programs. This workshop has been
conducted in many groups but this
was the first time it was held on
the college level.
For six hours each day 28 Bethel
elementary education students en-tered
into group relations in the
form of micro-laboratories, role
playing, perceptions and communi-cations,
distinctives of cooperation,
and more.

It was an Arden Hills happening. It was Bethel's answer to Mrs.
O'Leary's (Chicago, c. 1871) cow. It was the new dorm's first "fire" and
what's more it was (as John Lennon would say) "a true story that ac-tually
happened."
New Dorm's "Great Fire" hit the residence hall last Friday, in the
late hours of the afternoon. It was started even more inadvertently than
the 1871 version. In stark contrast to the lantern-kicking antics of a
Chicago cow, it was caused by (as he himself describes it) "a Bethel stu-dent
throwing in the towel."
Really. The student (who will remain anonymous and—because he
was not at great fault and did not cause great harm—will also remain
a student) confided that he removed a frozen towel from his automobile
and placed it in a shower stall in the men's rest room on third floor.
He consequently turned on the hot water with the hopes of restoring
his towel to a more reasonable pliability.
It should be mentioned, for reasons understood later, that earlier
in the afternoon the same student had flicked on the light switches in
the rest room but the lights had flickered out. Perhaps this is why
the student forced to use a flashlight, placed the towel on top of the
shower's drain. At any rate (as it will later be observed) the absence of
lights in this room caused some of the participants of this episode—for
a relatively brief period, but in more ways than one—to be in the dark.
Meanwhile, back to the showers where the towel had sopped and
stopped ever-increasing amounts of water. The H2O easily escaped its
shower stall and began to flood the premises.
Horizontal expansion, at least, was somewhat curtailed. But this
only happened because the water filtered through the floor, dripping
through the third floor tiles and wood and dropping to those of second
floor. The water only ceased its downward action when (after yet an-other
penetration) it began to accumulate on the first floor.
As Milton would have put it, trouble came into the New Dorm after
the fall (in this case, the first permeation). Descending water affected
the electrical apparati of second floor's ceiling. This in turn triggered
second floor's fire alarm.
What immediately followed is described by an eye-ear witness,
the towel owner: "The first alarm went off . . . a very loud noise indeed.
In fact it was so loud that you had to keep your fingers in your ears to
keep from being deafened by the roar."
"Immediately the building was evacuated of all personnel. The
housemother, in a state of mental distress, telephoned the local fire de-partment."
It was at this point that the true excitement began. A convoy of
fire fighting machines (two in number) manned by firemen in full regalia
were guided to the scene by a highway patrol car. The heroic firemen
disembarked, ready and willing to face the challenge of their task. They
clutched axes to chop through all obstructions; in the twilight they also
carried flashlights, fully prepared to shed light on 'any problem.
As they rapidly scaled the steps leading to the east entrance, they
were informed by the boys' resident assistant that, although there was
still a danger the problem was not now from fire but was from elec-tricity.
Perhaps momentarily startled by their reversal of role (they were
now electricians), they hustled as directed to third floor which was the
source, of course.
Soon ideas of theory became intertwined with the feats of action.
The fire chief, for one, maintained that melting snow had traversed from
the heights of the roof-top and had thus caused the power failure in the
third floor rest room. (Apparently he didn't think to ask any of the stu-dents
the pertinent question: Where were you when the lights went out?)
A human communications system was improvised whereby a fireman
in the basement power room would manipulate switches and strategically
placed individuals, i.e. a type of search-at-liesure policy.
Improving on this method, walkie-talkies were brought in. After
fifteen minutes in the building all parties agreed with what some of the
male students had suspicioned all along: the problem was from the third
floor rest room. The fire chief gave instructions in preventing another
such difficulty and his men helped clear most of the estimated five gal-lons
of accumulated water.
Meanwhile outside, an estimated twenty to twenty-five people had
awaited the results. Their lonely vigil and anxious anticipation was brok-en
by the arrival of another fire truck (which had missed the turn-off).
The New Dorm had survived its first ordeal by fire. Only the most
severe and unkind critics of its architecture could term the affair a
"real barn burner." But what could be learned from this experience?
As the boys' resident assistant pointed out, the experience was good
practice in the event of a real emergency.
Beyond this, several more practical suggestions might be explored:
After this episode, perhaps the first floor suites, currently known merely
by lacklustre numbers, could be named "The Firebird Suites." Also
along this line, readily accessible water could provide a convenient
background for playing recordings of Handel's "Water Music." Further-more,
perhaps President Lundquist might assist any straying golfers who
might wander to Arden's green hills by withholding consideration of
the New Dorm as a "fire hazard" and labeling it a "water hazard" in-stead.

It was intense work and after
the Monday session the students
were nearly exhausted. But they
were ready for another day because
they were learning such exciting
things. They witnessed the soul of
group behavior, personal relation-ships,
and discovered where trust,
cooperation, and each individual
fits in. What made it meaningful
was participating and discovery —
watching these concepts emerge
from themselves and from their
personalities.
The remainder of the month of
February is an educational block
which consists of four hours of
class a day with assignments, proj-ects,
and outside reading. Of course,
this includes the coffee and goodie
time in the basement of the Ed-ucation
House each morning dur-ing
Dr. Junet Runbeck's two-hour
session in the language arts. Upon
being energized everyone is ready
to continue on with his pursuit
of education.
Bethel carries out a tradition
each year which is unique to this
college. Last Thursday evening a
dinner was held for the purpose of
getting together the students and
elementary teachers under whom
they will teach. Bethel feels this
is good preparation prior to the
beginning of student teaching
which will start for these 28 stu-dents
March 3. At that time they
will go into area school districts
and teach for 10 or 11 weeks.
After these weeks of becoming
wise in the ways of teaching, the
students will return for post-stu-dent
teaching seminar and then
on to the goal of graduation June
1 and a classroom of their own
next fall.
Meanwhile, if you see some sen-iors
whizzing around campus, car-rying

IT'S A BEAUT!
Two of "Mom" Peterson's boys, Tim horn (R) and Don
Nelson, congratulate her on her recent engagement as they
take a look at her "rock."
Sporting a diamond on her hand,
a twinkle in her eyes, and a big
smile on her face is Edgren's
housemother, "Mom" Peterson.
The twinkle in her eyes and the
smile on her face aren't new, but
the ring is; and it's raising ques-tions
in the mind of many Bethel-ites—
Who? When?
The lucky guy is Archie Brown
and this next summer is the time.
Bethel's own Mom Peterson is leav-ing
to join the crowd of girls who
will become brides this summer.
As Mrs. Brown, she plans to
travel a great deal with her hus-band—
already they are planning
a trip to Europe later in the sum-mer.
Upon returning they plan to
spend some time in Florida and
later on to build their own home.
A new world ahead of her, Mom
Interestingly, Mom Peterson isn't
the first housemother to become
engaged while at Bethel. Two pre-vious
housemothers of Edgren
dorm, Mrs. Holland and Mrs. Mo-berg,
became engaged while at
Bethel and were married.
While visiting in Chicago with a
former Sunday school pupil, Mom
Peterson attended a service at a
mission where she and the late
Mr. Peterson used to teach. It was
during this week-end jaunt that
Mom met Mr. Brown who, though
a successful businessman, was in-volved
in working with skid row.
At that time she had no plans of
remarrying, but rather to retire
in Denver. A correspondence began
and soon Mom Peterson was run-ning
to her P.O. box eagerly anti-
Mom's boys in Edgren react dif-ferently
to her engagement:
"Great!," "She's just too young,"
"Are you kidding?" They celebrat-ed
one evening by wrapping her in
a blanket and carrying her to the
coffee shop. She gets teased by
her boys a lot, but they all seem
very happy for her.
It's not that "Mom" hasn't had
a lot of dates while here at Bethel.
During her three years as house-mother
she's often been asked
"out" by one or more of her boys
to ball games and special events.
She finds that spending time with
students and getting involved in
student affairs is an exciting part
of being a housemother.
When razzed about her respon-sibility
to stay here as housemother
to the Edgren boys, she replies,
"When you're in love — nothing
else matters."
This engagement adds a special
note of excitement to Valentine's
will be living in a new place, with cipating letters from Mr. Brown. Day as Cupid has struck again!

Everyone knew it would be the social event of the
season, and there was an air of expectancy over the crowd,
which had turned out 200 strong.
Even the administration was represented in the persons
of Miss Marilyn Starr (who left early), Dean Virgil Olson (who
came late) and Mr. James Bragg (who sat through the whole
thing).
The faculty sent Dr. Don Larson of the Anthropology
department and Mr. Jon Fagerson ("I wouldn't have missed
this for anything") of the English department.
Mrs. Maurice Lawson came with her son Bruce, and said
that her husband regretted that he had another engagement,
and could not be present. Rounding out the list of visiting dig-nitaries
were fourteen of Dave Nelson's relatives, who came
from as far as Cambridge and Waseca for the concert.
But the students had always been Leonard's most rabid
fans, and they proved to be his most receptive listeners. Dave
Nelson, Leonard's very fine accompanist, opened with a piano
solo, and then Leonard came out in a white trench coat. In
an obvious attempt to build his audience's emotions to a fever
pitch as quickly as possible, he immediately shed the coat, to
the strains of "The Stripper." This revealed a tasteful outfit
of a dark sport coat blue turtleneck, and peace symbol.
At the end of his first number he took off the sport coat,
too, and imaginations ran wild, but this proved to be only prep-aration
for his second song, "Mr. Lonely," in which, singing
as a soldier, Leonard donned clothes appropriate for the part.
The costume change was the first of several brilliant effects.
At the end of "That's Life," he died, to rise again with "The
Impossible Dream." He added a soft shoe to "Red Roses for
a Blue Lady." But by far the most magic moment of the eve-ning
was Leonard's trumpet solo in "This Guy's in Love With
You."
Taking his cue from the new Presidential Administration,
and, in particular, Mr. Spiro Agnew (of "fat Jap" and "Pollock"
fame), Leonard several times referred to his audience as "dumb
Swedes."
The main attraction, of course, was Leonard singing as
only Leonard can, and he sang as he has never sung before.
Everyone had an opportunity to leave at intermission — only
four did, and the rest of the audience hissed as they walked
out the door. At the end of the concert there was a general
consensus that it had been an unusual and extremely enjoy-able
"good time that was had by all."

Mack the Knife is stalking the
stage again, this time at the East-side
Theatre. Bertolt Brecht and
Kurt Weill's "Threepenny Opera"
opened last Thursday evening, and
will run Thursdays, Fridays, and
Saturdays through March 16.
The " opera" takes place in the
Soho District of London. Its char-acters
are panhandlers, pimps,
prostitutes, common criminals and
crooked copps.
Jonathan Peachum runs an es-tablishment
which outfits beggars
to keep them up with the times,
because, though the rich have cre-ated
most of the world's misery,
they cannot bear to look at it.
All human beings, however, no
matter how sensitive, quickly
grow immune to any one kind of
misery. Confronted for the first
time by a blind beggar a man may
throw him a shilling. The second
time he is more likely to throw
him a sixpence and the third time
he will probably throw him in
jail. So Peachum provides beggars
with variety.
His daughter Polly, to his great
dismay, has fallen in love with
Macheath (Mack the Knife), a cri-minal
who manages to be dashing
in a cheap sort of way. Polly mar-ries
Mack, and Peachum and his
wife decide to do their best to
bring Mack to the gallows.
They do, on the day of the cor
onation, but just before the trap
door is supposed to open,
mounted messenger from the
Queen gives Mack a pardon and a
pension of 10,000 pounds a year for
the rest of his life. The happy end-ing
is obviously a joke, and Peach-urn
tells the audience that it is
the plight of the poor that there
are no mounted messengers.

Last weekend I saw "Romeo and
Juliet," "Henry IV," and "A Mid-summer
Night's Dream." Writing
any one of them would be a note-worthy
accomplishment. That the
same man wrote all three is as-tounding.
The task of expressing
that wonder should fall to a poet
of stature of a . . . a .. . Shakes-peare.
"Henry IV" closed Sunday after-noon
at Scott Hall at the Univer-sity.
"A Midsummer Night's
Dream" was on television Sunday
night. So though both were good,
the opportunity to see them has
stopped knocking. But "Romeo and
Juliet" is at the World Theatres
in Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
This is one opportunity you
shouldn't pass up.
Few pairs of lovers are as well-known
as Romeo and Juliet. Few
love stories are as famous as
theirs. The play is not Shakes-pear's
best, but it is possibly his
most popular. With Franco Zeffirel-li's
film it has attained a new sort
of popularity: young people have
snatched it as their own.
It has always been comforting
to young girls in love that "Juliet
was only thirteen." But Juliet has
never been played that way. The
leads in the first film version
were played by an actor and an
actress in their forties. Franco
Zeffirelli, the director of the new
movie, wanted to do the play like
he thought Shakespeare meant it,
Thursday, February 13, 1969
The "opera" is extremely enjoy-able
as entertainment, but it is
more than that. Always present is
Brecht's pessimism, never more
than thinly veiled, and often a di-rect
statement: "Gentlemen, do not
be taken in; man lives exclusively
by mortal sin."
The poor are more pathetic than
funny, so the laughs are often pain-ful,
and the play operates on one
level as a plea from the poor that
"until you fill our bellies right
and wrong have no meaning." The
happy ending (and all of the hu-mor
is 'blunted by the last line,
about "this bastard world, still
lacking form and void."
Half of the first act had passed
before the play had found itself,
so he found a pair of teenagers to
play the leads.
Olivia Hussey is fifteen years
old. When the movie opened in
London she was too young to see
it without her parents. She is
sweet; she is pure; she is beauti-ful—
she is Juliet.
Leonard Whiting is equally appro-priate
for his role as Shakespeare's
beautiful young man with a poet's
soul. He is impulsive, sensitive,
and idealistic. Leonard and Olivia
are the youngest actors ever to
play the star-crossed lovers profes-sionally.
They make the play their own,
but their supporting cast is superb.

John Hopkins, a senior majoring
in music education, presented his
senior clarinet recital Monday
night. He was accompanied by Ruth
Fardig, a piano instructor, along
with the Bethel String Quartet.
Included on the program were
the Mozart Clarinet Concerto, K.
622, a Hindeminth Sonata and Le-febre's
Fantasie-Caprice.
Since John has a double per-formance
area, he will also present
a voice recital on March 29.

Zeffirelli cut all of the explana-tory

Bethelites attend Federal Service Seminar
Student as spelunker' Page 6 the CLARION Thursday, February 13, 1969
from page 2
by Marjorie Rusche
While many Bethel students were
buying their books, attending clas-ses,
and getting in the groove of
a new semester, six students and
one faculty member were in Wash-ington,
D.C. participating in a
seminar on Federal Service. The
seminar, sponsored by the public
affairs office of the National As-sociation
of Evangelicals, occured
Feb. 4-6 and explored the numer-ous
federal jobs available in gov-ernment
service.
The group, consisting of Carolie
Dahlby, Kathleen Gordon,
Tom Mesaros, Don Nelson, Tom
Stocking, Roger Wiens, and their
advisor, Bill Carlson, toured the
White House and FBI headquart-ers,
visited the Senate and House
chambers (where they heard a
speech by Sen. Everett Dirkson on
why the Marigold should be the
national flower) and listened to
several sepakers — among them
Sen. Albert Quie from Minnesota.
The tone of the conference was
conservative and Republican; with
few people attempting to separate
evangelical religious beliefs from
conservative political beliefs. (A
news editor for Christianity Today
noted that Republicans were con-sidered
honorary Christians). No
black students were represented at
the conference, it was reported.
The group was bombarded with
information concerning all phases
of Washington political life, gov-ernment
agencies, and foreign ser-vice.
Carslon said he was impres-sed
with the extent and complexity
Registrar offers
official estimates
by Pat Faxon
Welcome back—but brace your-selves,
fellow students! Included in
the usual schedule of events with-in
the next week are the distribu-tion
of first semester grades and
the Founders Week agenda.
The registrar's office reported
that they expect to get the grades
out any time now. Upperclassmen
have a chance to "prepare the
way" but a copy is sent home to
freshmen's parents.
While the registrar's office has
been putting full effort into pre-paring
grades and registering in-coming
students, they have extend-ed
"official estimates" where there
has not been time for exact tabu-lation.
The official number of reg-istered
students is estimated at
985 which is considerably higher
than it has been in previous years.
The total number of students
not returning, which includes those
who have finished and will return
for commencement in the spring,
those who have dropped out for
various reasons and those who have
been dismissed, is 102, which is
reported not to be irregular in
comparison with usual figures.
There are 76 new students for
second semester, with two or three
more expected to register. Among
these are 36 returning students,
22 transfers, one new foreign stu-dent
and a number of new fresh-men
and special students. This
year's figure for second semester's
incoming students is well over
twice last year's number of 34 and
substantially higher than the peak
for the past five-year period which
was 50 students in 1964-65.
Founders Week is next week ...
so gather your wits in preparation
for the razzle-dazzle as a deluge
of conference pastors and alumni
take over the campus.
of the whole governmental system.
He stated that "governmental acts
aren't moral or immoral but rather
are a process of interaction be-tween
interest groups."
Concerning some general trends
in Washington, Carlson felt that:
1) Washington is in a state of trans-ition,
2) Nixon is not doing a major
sweep-out clean-up job of Wash-ington
(one of his major campaign
promises), 3) people in government
are waiting to see what Nixon does
before they act, and 4) Agnew is
still not too well received."
An interesting sidelight of the
conference was the group's glimpse
of Averell Harriman. Carlson spot-ted
him as Harriman was entering
a conference room across from the
room where Sen. Quie was speaking
to the conference. Don Nelson en-
Bethel is among 24 Minnesota
colleges which will be invited this
year to nominate a junior student
to participate in a special 10-week
summer program of academic stu-dy
and internship experience.
The School of Public Affairs of
the University of Minnesota in
collaboration with the Minnesota
College-Federal Council and in co-operation
with Minnesota colleges
and with federal, state and local
government agencies in the Twin
Cities area, will arrange adminis-trative
internships with govern-ment
agencies for carefully select-ed
students of Minnesota colleges
and relate the internships to the
academic program of the Universi-ty's
1969 Summer Session.
The School of Public Affairs will
place each of the students in a
government agency in the Twin
Cities area. The Student will be re-quired
to give 20 hours per week
of service of a supervised adminis-trative
internship nature in return
tered the conference room, ap-proached
Harriman, and received
his autograph.
For many members of the group,
the trip through FBI headquarters
was a most memorable experience.
Tom Stocking remarked upon the
firing range, tommy guns, a n d
other instruments of destruction.
Another member of the group felt
that after the tour he had been
"finger - printed, card - catalogued,
manipulated, and ordered around
like you were in a military camp."
On the whole, the group attend-ing
the conference felt it had been
quite educational, illuminating, and
fascinating. Tom Stocking gave a
fitting capsule summary "every-thing
seems more real—everything
you learn in American Government,
you see happening."
for approximately $50 per week for
the ten week period.
Federal agencies in the area
have agreed to cooperate in set-ting
up internships and the United
States Civil Service Commission
has waived the usual civil service
examination for summer employ-ment.
The administrative intern-ships
will be related to an aca-demic
program at the University
of Minnesota. Students selected by
their colleges will be accepted by
the University as Summer Session
students, and the credits they earn
will be transferable to their home
colleges. Students will enroll in
Administrative Internship a n d
Workshop on Minnesota Govern-ment
and may take at least one
other course.
Lynn Bergfalk, a senior at Beth-el,
was one of 45 students who
participated in the program last
year.

the opportunity, contact Dwight
Jessup, Bethel instructor in politi-cal

heart, a lot of soul, and a strong
mind will help, too . . .
One of the strange things about
this pattern is that your decision
plays a more prominent role; you
decide whether to be a tourist or
a spelunker . . .
There are some things that one
has to do by himself. Bishop Sheen
mentions three: say his own pray-ers,
make his own love, blow his
own nose. I'll add one: make his
own decisions. Really, another per-son
cannot make your decisions for
you unless you first decide to let
him! . . .
You see, we enter into a kind of
economic relationship as teacher
and student. One view of this sees
the teacher as giving grades as
"wages" for work done. We even
say that the student "earns"
grades. Another view sees the re-lationship
differently: the student
wants services performed, so he
pays the teacher (through the busi-ness
office—hours posted) to per-form
them .. .
After spending the time together
in communication and interaction,
there should be some awareness of
growth in intellect, in skill, in
Christian concern and in power to
deal constructively with man's
problems. During this period of
time I want to lead you to the
edge of my known world and show
you what lies beyond. Maybe your
excitement and shock will take you
into these areas yourself, and per-haps
you'll come back when I'm
old and worn out to report what
you've found! .. .
On the other hand, everyone
doesn't want to get this involved;
they just want to spectate. So the
matter pivots on the question of
whether or not I will choose to
use force to get them involved.
But I cannot justify prodding and
poking and pampering people who
don't care to spelunk; it is not
fair, for the "poor" really rob the
"rich by taking my time from the
rich and forcing me to give it to
the poor!" .. .
Some of you are perhaps saying
to yourselves: "What's his hang-up,
anyway?" It's simple: cram-ming.
Counting my own school
days, thirty-five years have taught
me that you cannot cram informa-tion
into your head in 48-hour
spurts before tests, nor can you
write papers or reports in one
quick draft and have much to show
for it after a few months or years.
Furthermore, our society does
not reward the collection of frag-mented
information nor rewriting
of what is already written. Our
society, on the other hand, re-wards
the self-motivated individual
with broad appreciation, insight
and an ability to integrate informa-tion
and apply it creatively .. .
The idea of student as "product"
reminds me too much of the pro-cesses
of dehumanization all a-round
us. No wonder many young
people feel alienated, what with
all the shaping and scraping and
sanding into a product by unknown,
anonymous forces. Especially im
portant in the Christian college,
we must maintain the spirit and
atmosphere of community, with all
its deply personal qualities, its
generosity, kindness, warmth, hon-esty.
We've got to hold out for
freedom in learning and to get
comfortable in it, and we have to
be willing to apply the brakes to
those systems which tend to make
objects of us.
As Malcolm Moos said last sum-mer,
"We've built a system that
forces students to chase grades,
but grades don't measure useful-ness
or creative worth." No, they
can only measure the degree of de-viation
from statistical probabili-ties.
And a human being has the
potential for being the most un-probable
and unpredictable of all
living things!

Ski trip--'hysterical'
Snow bound students drift to slopes
by Wally Borner
If anyone was listening to an
Idaho weather reporting during
semester break, they would have
found out that 42 Bethel people
were leaving the snows of Minneso-ta
and going into the end of one
of the worst snow storms in Idaho
history. Fourteen feet of snow were
reported on top of the mountain.
The Bethel Ski trip, headed by
Carol Morgan, Tricia Brownlee,
Marilyn Starr, and Dick Steinhaus,
left the Twin Cities on January 26,
Sunday evening. Starting out two
hours late the snow-bound ski en-thusiasts
arrived at Schweitzer Ba-sin
in Standpoint Idaha at 3:30
A.M. Tuesday morning. They were
just in time to take in the first
day of skiing after the slopes had
been snowed in for a few days.
Somehow, and nobody really
does know why, the bus that was
to shuttle them up the mountain
never came for that first day of
skiing. Nor did it come for the
rest of the week. The town of
Sandpoint came to the rescue, how-ever,
and announced on their radio
station that "anybody going up
the mountain should go by the
Shore Lodge and give a ride to the
42 people from Minnesota."
The group was somewhat miffed
about the whole problem, but, be-ing
hardy Bethel students pulled
themselves from bed each morning
at 6:45 to catch rides with ski per-sonnel
and townspeople. If it had
four wheels and could drive up a
mountain, there were Bethel peo-ple
getting rides in it.
Skiing conditions at Schweitzer
Basin were excellent. Those who
were experienced enough found
the deep powder a real challenge.
After a day's skiing which packed
the snow down, a foot of snow dur-ing
the night made conditions ideal
again. The powder would be as
deep as four feet. To fall would
mean get up quick or drown or get
run over.
Apparently Miss Starr's skiing
acrobatics brought awe into the
eyes and minds of the inexperi-enced
as she executed a flip and
ended in a prone position face
down in the snow.
The college group skiid between
nine o'clock and four o'clock from
Tuesday to Friday. After each ex-hausting
day they had to resume
their begging to get down the
mountain. After an excellent din-ner
at 6:30 they were on their own.
Standpoint is only a town of 5,000
and doesn't have limitless opportu-
Bethel's grapplers put padding
on their plus .500 season as they
topped the lumberjacks of North-land
by a 21-18 score. The season
record now stands at 10-5 with only
three meets to go.
Lee Granlund started things off
on the right note as he returned
to the mat to take a 4-2 decision
from Hoveland. Though it was
only the first match, it was pivotal
as Bethel lost in the 123 division
at Northland two weeks ago and in
this second encounter, the Royals
nities for Bethel students to enjoy
themselves. However, they did have
opportunities to go bowling or stay
in the motel to play Rook, read,
socialize, or go straight to bed in
preparation for the next day's ski-ing.
The trip home involved 32 hours
on the train. Arrival was seven
hours late due to problems with
the train's air brakes. Each five
minute stop would find the train
crew chipping off ice and the
Bethel students jogging alongside
the train to loosen up. The trip
was one hysterical moment after
another: the train rides, the hitch-ing,
the snow. And the whole
group of 42 came back after suf-fering
only two twisted knees and
four broken skiis.
Besides enjoying themselves, the
people of Sandpoint and Schweitz-er
Basin enjoyed having the group
as guests. Some commented that
the Bethel delegation was the ni-cest
group they have had in the
six year history of the resort area.
had to forfeit at 160 due to the
hole left by Jim Olsen.
Jeff Mourning lost a tough de-cision
to Jones by a 5-0 score but
Doug Warring put Bethel right
back on top with a pin. Doug had
decisioned his opponent at North-land,
but before a good home
crowd, he put his legs around
Solt's head for a figure four pin-ning
combination.
Greg Ekbom increased the team
score to 11-3 as he decisioned his
foe 2-0. Barry Anderson practically
iced the meet by pinning his man
at 2:42. The forfeit in the 160
The Faculty has won the Intra-mural
Paddleball Tournament by
a decisive margin over runner-up
Off Campus. The three-man Facul-ty
team of "Mo" Shields, Paul
Redin, and Dr. Finlay compiled a
record of seven wins and only
two losses. "Mo" Shields retained
his championship title as he won
both games in which he was chal-lenged.
Paul Redin was second as
he won four games but did not
play Shields and thus did not have
a shot at the title. Dave Wicklund
led Off Campus with three wins
and one loss.
Only three men appear too close
to joining the Century Club by
running 100 miles this winter.
Again the Faculty is out ahead with
Doc Dalton and Bill Carlson lead-ing
the way. Each individual who
runs the one hundred receives
20 points for his Intramural team.
The Club season ends on the last
day of February.

Dale Berry worked hard in the
first period. However, in the sec-ond
period, Northland's •chutte

Bob Olsen had no trouble as he
took two minutes and thirty three
seconds to put his opponent's
shoulders to the mat. To finish the
match, Randy Inouye succumbed
to Northland's Boyle at 3:39.
Bob Olsen's pin boosted his sea-son's

WBCS Radio announced last week
their selection of Intramural All
Star of the week. Sports manager
for the campus radio station, P.
David Waite, has said that they
plan on selecting someone each
week who has distinguished him-self
in some phase of Intramural
sports. Leroy Mattson was their
first selection, based on his forty
points for the Falcon basketball
team as he led the team to a
65-25 over lowly Pit.
Leonard Sammons left the con-cert
stage for the basketball court
and scored three points in a Third
Old intra-squad scrimmage last
Saturday.
The sign up sheet for Intramural
handball is on the I-M bulletin
board. The list will be taken down
this Saturday and participants can
begin playing on Monday. Defend-ing
champion Al Selander has grad-uated
and thus leaves the opening
for a new champion this year.

As one player put it, "Bethel just
won their first football game." The
basketball game was really no con-test
as Bethel took that running
away by a 96-68 score.
But there was a lot more action
than just shooting baskets. Actual-ly,
it was hard to tell what sport
was going on sometimes.

Bethel wins fourth in row over Northland
by Jerry Loomis
Ever since his early sandlot years, Andy Feldman
has loved and enjoyed playing basketball. This is
where he finds his real identity.
As a youngster in the fifth grade, Andy Feldman
scored three of his team's six points in their 6-4
victory over the sixth grade. This was the young
Renvillion's first taste of organized basketball, some-thing
which has become a very important part of
his life. Since that time, "Angus" has played Junior
High ball, "B" Squad, on a Renville varsity squad
which won nineteen while losing only two, on Bethel's
freshman team, and is now in his second year with
the Royal varsity.
At the end of his sophomore year in high school,
Andy was a mere 5' 10" tall. However, that summer
he gained four inches in height, and thus spent his
junior year adjusting to his 'new' 6' 2" stature. As a
6' 3" senior, Feldman was the sixth man and a
starter on several occasions for an exceptionally fine
team. He averaged 6 points and 9 rebounds per game.
Upon coming to 'Bethel, Andy preceeded to score
20 points in his first game with the Royal Freshmen.
He finished the season with a 10 point average.
The real turning point of Feldman's basketball
career came the following year. After the fourth
game of the season, Andy told Coach Trager that he
was through, for at that time he had, what he himself
termed, a "rotten" attitude. Mentally he was about
as low as anyone can go, and in that state was incapa-ble
of doing the job on the court.
For the next week, Andy was engaged in a battle
with himself. He began to level with himself, to
recognize not only his strong points but also his
weak points, and in so doing saw that he could make
a significant contribution to the team. He realized
that he didn't need to be a prolific scorer; that with-out
rebounding strength no team can score enough
points to win, and that by rebounding he could get
his share of points.
YOUNG CAGE HOPEFUL?
Brett Larson (L), 6, the son of Dr. and Mrs. Don Larson, and
his friends show varied reactions as Bethel adds another victory
to its record.
AND FINALLY .. .
starting at forward, number 52 on the program, but number
one in everybody's heart, Andy "Renville" Feldman.
Sideelete Symposium
by Wally Borner
The basketball team has games left with four teams that
have won the first game of the home and away series. But
don't count the cagers out because they have a lot in their
favor. The team feels that they should not have lost to South-west
and Northwestern and will be concentrating on gaining
revenge in those two games. They will have the home court
advantage, momentum, confidence, and a lot of fan support.
The last two games of the season are with Morris and St.
John's. Both teams have good sound ball clubs but can be
beat. We lost to St. John's in a raucus cracker box gymnasium
and the fans will be as eager to make up for that first encounter
as the ball team.
The wrestling team doesn't have it quite as easy in their
last three meets. St. John's will be down with a good team this
Saturday. Then the team will travel to Owatonna to take on
Pillsbury. The Royals won the first meet early in the season
by only one point. The last meet is with Morris which has
defeated our team. The loss of Jim Olsen is sure to hurt, but
as the Northland meet proved, there is by no means any rea-son
to give up. Wrestling is both an individual and team sport.
With a little etra pressure, each of the boys will be on the mat
giving a little extra effort.
* * * *
The spring sports scene will bring on a few coaching
changes to the campus. Gene Glader is back to resume his
coaching position with the track team. Coach Trager will be
switching to head baseball coach and "Mo" Shields will be
guiding the golf team. The tennis team will again be under the
direction of Bob Gustafson.
It appears that there should be some clarificaton about
the freezing of five players in Intramural "A" League basket-ball.
The purpose of the whole idea is to provide those boys
with little basketball experience to play regularly and with
others of their own calibre. There will be one instance this year
where a team will not be required to freeze five because they
do not have that many high calibre players. A rule concerning
"A" League is that the five men who will be playing in the
"A" League games the majority of the time are to be ineligible
from "B" League competition. It is generally considered that
these, will be five good ball players, not necessarily anyone
who can be at every game. The Intramural Office reserves the
right to make changes in any team's roster if it feels that this
is necessary to maintain some degree of balance in the "B"
teams. If an "A" calibre player is playing "B" ball, the whole
purpose of the program is being defeated. There is no reason
to require an inexperienced ball player to play in the upper
division and, likewise, no reason for an exceptional ball player
who could be on the JV or varsity team to be allowed to play
"B" ball and easily score twenty points a game. There is a
considerable degree of unbalance in both leagues this year.
It is too late to do much about it now, but each team can help
by using a little discretion.

Big Angus' rebounds to starting role
berjack team captain. Fred Swed-berg
lost the boxing match as he
didn't swing after being punched
and having a cut opened up by
his eye. At the same time, Saniuk,
the aforementioned captain, lost a
debate to the ref and was ejected
from the game, which 'all amounts
to dirty pool.
The Northland sent down a bunch
of lumberjacks that seemed just
like that — hatchetmen. They
weren't too hot, especially in the
first half when they netted a cool
26 points. Their turnovers seemed
more numerous than their shots.
What this adds up to is a team
that was as cold 'as a proverbial....
girl in a snowbank.
The home team must be given
credit. They played as a team for
almost the whole game. The boys
graciously accepted the turnovers
and cashed them in for points. The
fast break was working well and
the passing was exceptional. The
defense worked hard and humili-ated
Northland a few times by
thwarting four-on-one breaks.
Again Ron Pederson was high on
rebounds as he hauled down twen-ty.
Larry Johnson played just un-der
one fourth of the game and
was credited with six rebounds.
The Royals, in scoring 96 points,
had six men in double figures with
Dan Larson being high with 16.
All eleven men on the squad
scored at least three points.
Bethel's record has moved to
ten wins and eleven losses. It was
the fourth win in a row and
eighth of the twelve played in
this chronological year. The four
remaining home games will be no
easy contests, but with the im-provements
in the team's play and
the momentum they have, the op-portunity
is available to finish
the season over the five hundred
per cent mark.
By season's end, Andy was a starter. He is again
this year, and is improving with every game. His 22
points and 15 rebounds against Trinity, followed by
his 21 point, 12 rebound effort against Briar Cliff are
highlights of his surge. Through the first twenty
games, big "Angus" has 205 total rebounds and an
average of 10.6 points per game.
Coach Trager states that Andy's strengths are in
his excellent attitude, his willingness to work hard,
and his uncanny knack of going to the basket offen-sively
without the ball.
His movement toward the basket enables him to
pick up the loose ball, and get in there for the
bucket. As a result, the other squad members call him
"the garbage man."
Despite having only average spring, he has sure
hands and good size, and uses his weight well. As a
result, he does the job on the offensive boards. This
is where he gets his points, and even when his tip-ins
fail, Andy's work many times enables Ron to get into
position to score.
The development of confidence, strength, and de-sire
has brought tremendous improvement in Feld-man's
abilities as a basketball player. Big "Angus"
will be a welcome returnee to next year's squad.
