Vol. XLII—No. 17 Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, February 13, 1969 First campus skating rink in a decade Sno-Daze- '69 Arctic Affair-begins • SNO-DAZE COURT One of the four freshman and sophomore beauties elected to the Sno-Daze court (L-R Ginny Morrow, Julie Amelsberg, Nancy Knoll and Debbie Atkin) has been chosen as the '69 Sno- Daze princess. The selection will be announced at tonight's coronation ceremony. Ste. co FOS-4314W MM' -4-344 At :67 WRITTEN WORD AIDS "WITNESS" 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 cont'd on page 4 A proposed amendment for financial autonomy of the Stu-dent Senate was defeated 253 to 84 in Wednesday's referendum.

Class schedule change effective Tuesday-Friday The following changes have been announced by the registrar's office for class hours during Founders Week.

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.

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. Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, February 13, 1969 '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- (Editor's Note: The following guest editorial is from a document written recently by Donald Larson for students in his anthropology classes. Because the Clarion felt the unique student-teacher "con-tract" would be pertinent to all Bethel students before they become enmeshed in the grind of second semester studies, Dr. Larson con-sented to its publication herein.) by Dr. Donald N. Larson 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 cont'd on page 6 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. REMINISCENT OF THE 40'S John Goodman (L) and Bill Painter don stormcoats for the cold and tedious task of flooding an ice skating rink — the first one on Bethel's campus for at least a decade. Thursday, February 13, 1969 the CLARION Page 3 la de tee denot 6cetaift97 by Dave Greener 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. eljapt1 gote5 by Pastor Maurice Lawson turn the program over to them. were filled Last Sunday night.

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 Dr. Seuss childrens' books, books on spelling, reading, and other seemingly elementary mate-rial, don't ask questions. They are busy becoming teachers. Sno Daze from page 1 uled for Saturday include a broom-ball contest at 1:30 p.m. and a snow sculpture contest. The clas-ses will be assigned to a section of the campus and given two hours to come up with a snow sculpture which will be judged on size and design. A "life-size" trophy is to be presented at halftime of Saturday night's basketball game to the win-ner of the class competition. An all-school smorgasbord is to be held at 4:45 p.m. in the cafe-teria which will be decorated like a ski chalet. Also at the halftime of the bas-ketball game against Southwest will be the presentation of the Sno-Daze court and the judging of beards. Members of this year's Sno-Daze committee, which has been working since October to plan the special events, include John Goodman and Beverly Swenson, co-chairmen, and Callie DeVoe, Ron Carlson, Dwight Gernand, Jim Carlson, Julie Amels-berg, Carroll Jarp, Sue Kennerud, Annette Anderson and Bill Painter.

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!

Rosalind Rinker Myron Augsburger Keith Miller by Chuck Myrbo 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."

Deadline for entries is April 15. by Chuck Myrbo 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. by Chuck Myrbo 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. Hopkins gives 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. Hopkins has participated in nu-merous musical organizations both in high school and college. While the CLARION Page 5 but once it had gotten to its feet it stayed on them and kept mov-ing. Richard Ashford and Billie Nickell are very good as Peachum and his wife. Sharon Lohmar is impressive when she plants her feet ,puts her hands on her hips, throws her head and shoulders back, and sings about "Pirate Jen-ny," and "yes," "no," and "wheth-er." The harmonium player has class — she both plays and smokes her cigar with grace. None of the actors can sing real-ly well, and some of them can't act very well, but somewhow I got more involved in the "Threepenny Opera" than I have with anything else for quite a while. See it if you can. John McEnery is very, very good as Mercutio. Pat Heywood steals several scenes as the nurse. The movie was filmed in a sec-tion of Northern Italy which has changed little since the Renais-sance; all of the settings are beau-tiful, as are the costumes. Zeffirelli cut all of the explana-tory speeches, so the movie, with about half the lines of the play, sacrifices some of Shakespeare's poetry for his action. And a great deal of action is there — the bat-tle scenes are especially well done. Get there early; the lines are long. first recital attending Terrel Community School he was a member of the band and chorus.

' 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. For further information concern-ing the opportunity, contact Dwight Jessup, Bethel instructor in politi-cal science. 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!

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.

However, in the sec-ond period, Northland's •chutte turned Dale over for the Lumber-jack's first pin.

Bob Olsen's pin boosted his sea-son's record to 14-1 and gives him ten pins on this year. gym on Friday nights. There will be facilities set up for basketball, volleyball, ping pong, and the tram-poline for both guys and gals. 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.

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. Page 8 the CLARION Thursday, February 13, 1969 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.

Thursday, February 13, 1969 First campus skating rink in a decade Sno-Daze- '69 Arctic Affair-begins • SNO-DAZE COURT One of the four freshman and sophomore beauties elected to the Sno-Daze court (L-R Ginny Morrow, Julie Amelsberg, Nancy Knoll and Debbie Atkin) has been chosen as the '69 Sno- Daze princess. The selection will be announced at tonight's coronation ceremony. Ste. co FOS-4314W MM' -4-344 At :67 WRITTEN WORD AIDS "WITNESS" 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 cont'd on page 4 A proposed amendment for financial autonomy of the Stu-dent Senate was defeated 253 to 84 in Wednesday's referendum. An amendment concerning dut-ies of the Senate treasurer pas-sed 206 to 123. Class schedule change effective Tuesday-Friday The following changes have been announced by the registrar's office for class hours during Founders Week. I 7:45-8:25 II 8:35-9:15 III 9:25-10:05 IV 10:15-10:50 la 7:45-8:55 Ila 9:05-10:15 IVa 12:10-1:15 Va 1:20-2:25 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.

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. Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, February 13, 1969 '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- (Editor's Note: The following guest editorial is from a document written recently by Donald Larson for students in his anthropology classes. Because the Clarion felt the unique student-teacher "con-tract" would be pertinent to all Bethel students before they become enmeshed in the grind of second semester studies, Dr. Larson con-sented to its publication herein.) by Dr. Donald N. Larson 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 cont'd on page 6 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. REMINISCENT OF THE 40'S John Goodman (L) and Bill Painter don stormcoats for the cold and tedious task of flooding an ice skating rink — the first one on Bethel's campus for at least a decade. Thursday, February 13, 1969 the CLARION Page 3 la de tee denot 6cetaift97 by Dave Greener 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. eljapt1 gote5 by Pastor Maurice Lawson turn the program over to them. were filled Last Sunday night.

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 Dr. Seuss childrens' books, books on spelling, reading, and other seemingly elementary mate-rial, don't ask questions. They are busy becoming teachers. Sno Daze from page 1 uled for Saturday include a broom-ball contest at 1:30 p.m. and a snow sculpture contest. The clas-ses will be assigned to a section of the campus and given two hours to come up with a snow sculpture which will be judged on size and design. A "life-size" trophy is to be presented at halftime of Saturday night's basketball game to the win-ner of the class competition. An all-school smorgasbord is to be held at 4:45 p.m. in the cafe-teria which will be decorated like a ski chalet. Also at the halftime of the bas-ketball game against Southwest will be the presentation of the Sno-Daze court and the judging of beards. Members of this year's Sno-Daze committee, which has been working since October to plan the special events, include John Goodman and Beverly Swenson, co-chairmen, and Callie DeVoe, Ron Carlson, Dwight Gernand, Jim Carlson, Julie Amels-berg, Carroll Jarp, Sue Kennerud, Annette Anderson and Bill Painter.

Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, February 13, '1969 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!

Rosalind Rinker Myron Augsburger Keith Miller by Chuck Myrbo 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."

Deadline for entries is April 15. by Chuck Myrbo 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. by Chuck Myrbo 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. Hopkins gives 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. Hopkins has participated in nu-merous musical organizations both in high school and college.

Sharon Lohmar is impressive when she plants her feet ,puts her hands on her hips, throws her head and shoulders back, and sings about "Pirate Jen-ny," and "yes," "no," and "wheth-er." The harmonium player has class — she both plays and smokes her cigar with grace. None of the actors can sing real-ly well, and some of them can't act very well, but somewhow I got more involved in the "Threepenny Opera" than I have with anything else for quite a while. See it if you can. John McEnery is very, very good as Mercutio. Pat Heywood steals several scenes as the nurse. The movie was filmed in a sec-tion of Northern Italy which has changed little since the Renais-sance; all of the settings are beau-tiful, as are the costumes. Zeffirelli cut all of the explana-tory speeches, so the movie, with about half the lines of the play, sacrifices some of Shakespeare's poetry for his action. And a great deal of action is there — the bat-tle scenes are especially well done.

' 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.

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!

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. Second Semester will probably see more Co-Rec nights in the class then made the score 16-8., Dale Berry worked hard in the first period. However, in the sec-ond period, Northland's •chutte turned Dale over for the Lumber-jack's first pin. 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 record to 14-1 and gives him ten pins on this year. gym on Friday nights. There will be facilities set up for basketball, volleyball, ping pong, and the tram-poline for both guys and gals. 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.

BETHEL 87 BRIAR CLIFF 79 Fouls: Bethel 24; Northland 17 Fouled Out: Weko by Wally Borner 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. Larry Johnson was clotheslined and practically pinned by the Lum- 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. Page 8 the CLARION Thursday, February 13, 1969 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.
