The parallel is obvious. Inflation hits from every angle and tuition costs are not immune to the
attacks (photo by Don Copeland).

Upkeep and utility costs drive tuition fees upward
by Joy Nannette Banta
Budget proposals for the
1981 -82 school year are ap-proved
and finalized. Tui-tion
costs will rise $525
over this year's fee to
$3925 per year, a 15.4 Per

Room and board costs
will be $995 for on-cam-pus

The broadcast pictured
a farmhouse full of young
men and women and a
grandfatherly figure work-ing
in an old-fashioned kit-chen
with a woodstove.
Charles Kuralt's morn-ing
news program showed
"Doc" Dalton's "Depression
House" students washing
clothes, eating beans, read-ing
and singing.
The show picked up on
a key theme of Dalton's:
the Depression was not
necessarily the depriva-tion
of things, but of ver-bally
expressed love.
Dalton, however, was
shown giving ample doses
of love to the students he
taught, even if they ate
beans constantly and
went without washing
their hair for a week.
ing. The differential fees
are new to student costs
because of higher costs for
operating off-campus hous-ing.
Estimated cost fora full-time
student is $5850 (in-cluding
room and board),
with an additional $100
charge for college apart-ment
residents. The total
reflects a 16.3 increase
The broadcast also
brought out the coopera-tive
spirit of the group.
Dalton did not have to put
up a duty roster; the stu-dents
volunteered as
needs arose.
"Depression House" is a
history course on the era
of the 1930's. Dalton has
taught the course for three
of the four previous years,
in an effort to bring the
deprivation of the '30's
alive for his students.
For the past two years
he has held "Depression
House" at a farmhouse 12
miles from Pillager, Min-nesota.
He said that he
tried to toughen up the
rules this year. One thing
he did was to eliminate
card playing, which he felt
made the group more open
to share with each other.
Besides. the, Kuralt
over the past year's esti-mated
cost of $5030 per
year.
The budget increases are
based on an adjusted en-rollment
minimum of 2093
college students next year
and denominational and
gift aid of over $1 million
for both college and sem-inary.

nominationally than other
schools," said Dean George
Brushaber. Calvin College
is probably one of the few
other private colleges
which receives more aid
than we do, he said.
Bethel has tried in past
years to minimize tuition
increases and spread them
out over three or four year
periods, thus inflicting on-ly
one major increase on a
student attending Bethel
for four years. Last year's
14 per cent increase was
the largest in several years,
but costs caught up with
the college, forcing yet ano-ther
large increase this
year. .
In spite of the large por-tion
of outside aid Bethel
receives, operating and
maintenance costs are forc-ing
tuition fees up. A ma-jor
problem with which
Bethel has to cope is defer-red
maintenance. In the
past a regular maintenance
schedule has not been fol-lowed
because of a lack of
money. Upkeep and repair,
plus replacement, have
been deferred until funds
were available.
The additional income
will not go directly into
recovering deferred main-tenance.
"We are going to
avoid incurring additional
deferred maintenance and
then seek additional funds
to cover previously defer-red
maintenance costs,"
said Mack Nettleton, direc-tor
of student affairs.
Monies will be chan-neled
into present main-tenance
needs, while past
needs will be met from the
annual budget and gift in-come
as funds are avail-able.
An estimated $217,000
is needed for deferred main-tenance
and adaptation of
apartments for college
housing. That money is
not coming out of the in-crease.
"The increase is for
the on-going quality of life
at the residences," said
Brushaber.

Harvard University, the
trendsetter on the_QQ1lege
cost market, announced
its 1981 -82 fees with a
15.5 per cent increase in
tuition, from this year's
$6000 to $6930. Total cost
for tuition, room and
board at Harvard will
range from $9170 to
$10,540, depending upon
housing choice — a 14.9
per cent jump over the
past year.
Harvard sets the pace,
being one of the first to
make public the next year's
costs, while colleges across
the country look on and

keep in line with national
College apartments were
not designed for high den-sities

trends.
Bethel - is not alone for
large increases in tuition,
room and board. The high
cost epidemic has hit hard,
revealing similar in-creases
for all Minnesota
private colleges.
Room and board fees at
Bethel are set at just
enough to get by, accord-ing
to Dan Nelson, direc-tor
of enrollment. "We are
just trying to break even
on the auxilaries," he said.
Theoretically, Bethel
should have the highest
housing fees because Beth-el
has the newest dorm
facilities of any other pri-vate
college in Minnesota.
In comparison, Bethel's
rates have been kept low.
Now the increase is neces-sary.
"Even this year's in-crease
won't allow us to
break even," said Nelson.
Most private colleges in
Minnesota have also just
announced their cost in- ,
creases for next year.
Worst fears are justified
as few colleges have in-creased
rates by less than
10 per cent.
The accompanying
graphs demonstrate cost
increases for Minnesota
private colleges. Special
note: Macalester College
and the College of St. Cath-erine
have not released
new costs yet and Carle-ton
College was unable to
be reached; therefore these
three colleges are not in-cluded
in the list.
Education expenses
climb across nation
Tavernier's gift makes feathers fly
editorial
Raise in school costs
handled well by Board
Costs are on the rise. The announcement of tuition
increases for the 1981 -82 school year probably came as
no surprise to most informed college students. The per-centage
of increase might hurt, but the reality is not so
hard to believe.
At this point students begin to assess their net worth
and re-examine their anticipated summer income, finan-cial
aid and help from Mom and Dad, brother, sister or
their own hoarded savings accounts.
Two major increases in the same number of years is a
hard pill to swallow. Graduates now heave a sigh of
relief, grateful that they took a full load all this year and
have fulfilled the requirements. For those just into the
college scene it looks like a long haul to commencement.
The administration is willing to help students carry
the load. They have done their best to trim costs and
keep the budget within bounds. Grant aide for next
year is expected to rise by 17.4 per cent. Also, unres-tricted
aid will increase 21 per cent.
Interim will remain a free commodity for students
registered in either the spring or fall term. Individual
course fees, for those who cannot carry a full load for
various reasons, will rise to only $475 per course.
An air of openness prevails between administration
and students as administrators give an all-out effort to
help studentS understand why tuition costs are rising
in such large proportions. They are sincerely concerned
with student reaction to cost increases. They under-stand
the difficulties we face in fund-raising.
We commend the administration and Board of Re-gents
for their explanations and rationale for the
increase. It is not easy to justify high prices, but, realiz-ing
that Bethel is still'just slightly above the overall
costs among Minnesota private colleges, we recognize
the need for maintaining the quality of education as
well as the quality of educational facilities.
Now that the announcement has been made, and
early enough to help us prepare for the increases, it is up
to us to realize the validity of the rationale behind the
new rates and ungrudgingly adjust to the costs. We
cannot expect that all other commodities on the national
and world market should increase and Bethel—educa-tion
at a small private college—should not.

Media coverage at Beth-el
is important to the col-lege's
image and to the
public relations depart-ment,
and it comes as no
surprise, then, that college
officials become a little un-easy
over a story about a
"turkey" at the college.
Toward the end of fall
semester a class of chem-istry
students taught by
Professor Paul Tavernier
presented Tavernier with
a gift: a live, wild turkey.
The idea of a live, wild
turkey was the product of
late night chemistry exper-iments.
"It was a lot fun," Taver-nier
said. "Toward the end
of the semester everyone
is tired, and things that
aren't usually funny sud-denly
become funny."
That was when ideas
started to brew, and tur-key
jokes and riddles be-came
the subject of con-versation.
A student in the
group, junior Lynne Bor-geson,
knew of a relative
who just happened to have
a spare wild turkey which
needed a home. The stu-dents
named the bird "Tur-key
Doodle," and present-ed
it to Tavernier.
The St. Paul Dispatch
later wrote up the story
and published it last
month in the January 14
edition.
"I was a little apprehen-sive
about how it would
turn out," Tavernier con-fessed.
"It was fun at the
time, as it had a spontane-ous
humor to it. If you
can't capture that, then it
isn't funny. When I've
shared the story with oth-ers,
they don't always see
it as funny."
Both Tavernier and Flor-ence
Johnson, publicity di-rector,
felt the story turn-ed
out well in the Dis-patch.
The story could
have made a turkey out of
Tavernier, the students
and the chemistry depart-ment.
"What does one do with
a turkey?" Tavernier asked.
As with the Dispatch's
coverage, the story has a
happy ending. "We kept it
at our house for about
three weeks," he said. "But
we knew it would have to
end soon, or he would end
up as our dinner some
night."
Tavernier said his wife
called the Como Zoo, and
they agreed to take the

One course at Bethel en-courages
students to keep
their heads in the clouds.
For $30 approximately 20
students are taking Avia-tion
Ground School.
Taught voluntarily by
Roger (Rog) Moberg, a pi-lot
for Northwest Orient
Airlines, the class prepares
students for the written
section of a private pilot's
license test. The fee pays
for books and registration.
"My goal with the class
is to expose students to
aviation," said Moberg.
Actual flight instruction
must come from another
source. Moberg says he
purposely doesn't have a
flight instructor's. license, •
turkey.
"He was a real ham,"
Tavernier said. "He loved
children and liked to be
around people. He'd fluff
his feathers when people
were around."
Tavernier said the tur-key
lived in his yard, and
made many attempts to
escape. "He loved to chase
cars."
"The only way the story
could have turned out well
was if it was in a humor-ous
sense," Tavernier said.
"I would just as soon have
the story die a quiet, natu-ral
death."
And with the turkey
gone and media coverage
most likely exhausted, it
appears that is exactly
what will happen.
since he would have to
keep turning students
down if they wanted les-sons.
That part of learning
to fly costs from $300 to
$400.
"I've had an interest in it
fora long time," said senior
Jeff Martin. "This is a
chance to take (ground in-struction)
theaply." He add-ed
that Moberg's stories
about being all over the
world make the class in-teresting.
"He really spark-ed
my interest in flying."
Moberg explained that
several things can affect
how well a student does in
the course. Nine of his stu-dents
have flown and sev-eral
built model airplanes.
Both, according to Mo-berg,
are ern advantage' to
understanding the princi-ples
of flying. The amount
of time spent on course
work will also affect how
well a student does.
"Don't even do the home-work
for this course un-less
you're up on the other
ones," Moberg tells his stu-dents.
Since no class cre-dit
is given for this class,
Moberg says it should be
low on a list of priorities.
He encourages alumni of
the class to come back any
time to brush up on infor-mation
and techniques—
free of charge.
Later in the semester
the class plans to visit. the
Minneapolis-St. Paul air-port.
They will try to see
the Northwest flight sim-ulator
• Mu le t he re. Last
year a few students were
able to try flying the 747
simulator during the crew's
coffee break.
Also involved in mission-ary
aviation, Moberg said
he hopes "someone might
see this as something they
could do as another form
of Christian service."
Realistically, he said, "I
imagine very few of them
will ever go on and push
into aviation." But he add-ed
that he experience can
be good in other fields.
Teachers could use the
training to explain con-cepts
to their students.
This is the seventh time
Moberg has taught the
course. "I'l I keep doing this
as long as they vvant me or
I'm able," he said.

Correll leads cool summer school at Eskimo Point, Canada
by Naomi Ludeman
As Tom Correll, profes-sor
of anthropology, talked
about his work with the
Inuit (Eskimos) one might
imagine him sitting in a
cubed shelter wrapped in
a parka with his polarized
beard thawing from the
arctic frost. Along with
teaching at Bethel, Correll
is a consultant for the In-uit
Cultural Institute lo-cated
in Eskimo Point,
Northwest Territory, Can-ada,
on the west coast of
Hudson Bay.
Last summer Steve O'-'
Brien, a Bethel senior in
anthropology, accompan-ied
Correll in his work at
the Institute. They lived in
a settlement of 1000 peo-ple
who lived in mobile
homes with modern facili-ties
and appliances. O'-
Brien did not sneak the
native language which is In-uit,
but fortunately the peo-ple
also spoke English. Cor-rell
speaks Inuit fluently.
The town has three stores
and cars must be shipped
in because of the lack of
roads to Eskimo Point.
Correll is again looking
for two or three students
to join him this summer.
There is also the possibil-ity
of an interim course
next year at Eskimo Point
living with the people. O-
'Brien said there could be
"no better experience. Tom
Correll is the most inter-esting
person to spend time
with."
"The purpose of the In-uit
Cultural Institute is to
have native people work-ing
to' preserve and per-haps
reconstruct their Es-kimo
society and values,"
said O'Brien. He worked
in the Institute's Arctic re-source
center. His boss and
friends were Inuits.
When O'Brieriwas asked
about how he dealt with
another culture he respond-ed,
"It is not so much deal-ing
with another culture
as it is dealing with my-self.
I had to be open-mind-ed.
I had to accept them
for what and where they
were.
"Sometimes it was
tense," he said. "The Inuit
greatly respect age. But
because of my position at
the Institute I was treated
with respect by people
much older than I. I had to
prove to them they could
trust me with responsibili-ty."
There were four church-es
in the settlement. After
Correll's later arrival O'-
Brien went to a Christian
Reform church. He found
the people were "just as
Christian. The people have
been over missionaryized
and are skeptical to the
preaching of Christianity.
I had to try not to change
them. I had to make allo-wances
for them as they
did for me."
Correll became involved
with the Inuit when he
and his wife, Joan, were
missionaries from 1953-
1962. He looks forward to
this new involvement with
the Inuit people.
"I am really excited
about this because I am in
an advocate role. With the
skills and tools I have
learned in my missionary
work and as an anthro-pologist,
I not only help
the Institute but also de-liver
what I think is the
Gospel. That is, to iden-tify
with the needy and
help them realize and
achieve their needs and
goals."
Tuition, from page 1
Costs of operating the
college do not correspond
to the consumer price in-dex,
which is set for a
middle-class family of a
mother, father and two
kids. Therefore cost in-creases
are at a higher per-centage
than the 12.6 per
cent inflation rate.
"The college is hit hard
by the rising cost of utili-ties
as well as the inflation
rate," said Brushaber. "Util-ities
have increased an
average of 27.8 per cent
for all private colleges in
the U.S., according to the
Department of Education,"
he added.
Said Nettleton, "The
costs incurred by Bethel
are not the same as costs
incurred by students."
The administration re-sisted
going into differen-tial
fees for on- and off-campus
housing, but "we
were backed into it," said
Brushaber. The $100 dif-ference
is minimal in corn-parison
to actual,costs for
off-campus housing. For
example, busing alone
costs about $70 per stu-dent.
The Bethel bus ser-vice
costs $67,000 per year,
and students are not
charged for the service.
Off-campus housing ba-sically
costs more, plus
they are owned commer-cially
and thus are taxable
(except Fountain Terrace
which is owned by the
Bethel Foundation). Cam-pus
housing is not taxable.
"Operating costs have
increased rapidly and are
not mirrored by tuition in-creases,"
said Director of
Enrollment Dan Nelson.
"We were growing and we
were attaining more econ-omy
of scale, but now we
have achieved almost a
saturation point in some
economies of scale," he
said.
(Economies of scale are
demonstrated, for exam-ple,
by the ratio of admin-istrators
to students. It
was formerly at one ad-ministrator
for every 15
students. It is now one to
19.)
"The costs of education
have not increased so rapid-ly,
but other factors are
not helping," said Nelson.
Most significantly, we are
not growing as much, he
said.
Next year the conference
(BGC) will pay about $400
for each college and semi-nary
student, but gift in-come
is struggling to con-tinue
at its present level.
In 1975 gift income cover-ed
28 per cent of each stu-dent's
costs. This year gift
income accounted for only
11 per cent,of student costs,

In both secular and Christian circles the roles of men
and women are being challenged and examined. Many
Christians define these roles in the traditional manner:
men as leaders and women as submissive followers.
The leadership abilities of individual women have large-ly
been ignored, denying them the responsibility of
leadership in the church.
Although it is seldom mentioned, men have also been
denied the opportunity to fully serve. Both sexes have
suffered from the traditional interpretation of Scrip-ture,
and it is time to stop limiting the service of those in
the Body of Christ.
Whether we choose to recognize it or not, churches
have power structures. Authority is given to men who
then tell women how to serve God. Many Christians try
to ignore this situation and say, "Christians ought not
have power struggles. We are all to be servants. No
position is more desirable than another."
Ideally this is true, but ignoring the present power
structure will not make it go away. Therefore, in order
to move toward churches in which power is not a prob-lem,
we ought to redistribute the positions of authority
and power according to God-given abilities. This will
enable us to see that the true power is God's, and
women and men are equal with equal responsibilities.
For too long women have been denied full service to
their Lord. If a woman has "leadership" qualities
(authoritative preaching, teaching or similar abilities)
she has consistently been told she may not use them.
Women must begin to look to their Savior and the Bible
for their direction, rather than incorrect interpretations
of the Word.
Many men have also been denied full service in the
Church. By usurping authority for themselves, because
of their sex, they have not only ignored the workings of
the Spirit in individuals, but missed a significant part
of Christian discipleship. All Christians are command-ed
to serve and submit whether it be in the church or the
home (see Mark 10: 35-45). I do not pretend to fully
understand Christian submission, but I do know that
no one of either sex should be denied the privilege to
submit.
Christians must not fall into the world's trap of creat-ing
destructive hierarchies based on class. The same
respoinsibilities and privileges are given to everyone
regardless of sex or color or any other distinctions. We
all must use our given knowledge and abilities to their
fullest potential. The Bible tells of numerous women in
leading positions (Deborah and Huldah for example)
and men in serving roles (Jesus is of course our primary
example): too many to claim they are "exceptions to the
rule."
I am not advocating a role reversal or suggesting that
women ought not submit any longer. Neither am I
implying that men who have the ability to lead should
refrain from doing so. We all must submit to one
another and serve according to the gifts given to us by
our Lord. It is time to stop accepting the traditional
roles of women and men in the church. Instead, we must
learn to serve together as brothers and sisters with
equal responsibilities and equal privileges.

nterim classes meet tough criteria
by Patty Sutton
Visions of palm trees
and sandy Hawaiian beach-es
danced through the
heads of eight Bethel stu-dents
and two teachers last
December. These ten Be-thelites
were anticipating
a month of studying in
Hawaii, looking forward
to their part in courses
offered by the Upper Mid-west
Association of Inter-cultural
Education
(UMAIE).
Dr. Wayne Hensley, pro-fessor
of speech-communi-cation,
taught "Communi-cation
Among Diverse Cul-tures
in Hawaii" to 16 stu-dents.
Dr. Jim Johnson, pro-fessor
of history, taught
"Hawaii: A Cultural His-tory"
in cooperation with
Mike Rynkiewich from Mac-alester.
Both classes required
reading on course-related
topics, but each was based
heavily on experiential learn-ing,
requiring each student
to get involved with the
activities, the foods, and
the outlook of the peoples
in Hawaii.
Johnson said that the
first thing his class does is
to walk through a volcano
crater. "You have to feel
the volcano, to experience
Hawaii. The craters are
what have built and
shaped the islands."
This year was the first
time that Johnson and Ryn-kiewich
have team-taught
the course. Rynkiewich

In the interim program
"Innovation is the key-stone,"
said Tricia Brown-lee,
director of academic
programs. "The teachers
are to design fresh, imagi-native
and unique settings
for activities."
Most courses are con-cern-
oriented (CO), espe-cially
creativity and com-munication
concerns. The
classes can fill any cur-riculum
requirement, but
not more than half of any
department's courses can
be at or above the 200
level.
Courses usually offered
during a semester can only
be offered during interim
if they are taught differ-ently
from the normal se-mester
class.
takes the early time period
before white people dis-covered
the island. John-son
teaches about the time
after Cook discovered Ha-waii
for Europe.
Johnson and his class
traveled in rented vans.
Many times lectures were
at sites the class visited.
Johnson said that students
observe more if they can
see what they are hearing
about.
They are not offered
two consecutive years un-less
there is high student
demand, to keep classes
fresh and creative.
The interim term began
as a trial idea in 1972 and
has been part of Bethel
each year since.
Interim classes are pro-posed
by professors in
September of the year for
which they will be used.
Brownlee reviews them,
and then the proposals are
evaluated by the Curricu-lum
Administrative Advi-sory
Committee.
This committee then de-cides
if -the proposals
should become interim
classes. If a proposal is
rejected, it is sent back to
the professor for revision.
Some classes go off-campus

Hensley has taught his
Hawaiian interim class for
the past two years. "I got
the idea when I attended a
communication conference
in Hawaii and realized the
excellent opportunity to
examine intercultural com-munication
in that setting."
"It wasn't so much con-tent-
oriented," said senior
Joy Banta, the only Bethel
student in Hensley's class,
"as it was a class to broad-en
perspectives."
Hensley's class focused
on the diversity of cultures
in the islands. There is an
ethnic mix not found in
any other place in the
world which greatly con-tribute's
to a study of cross-cultural
communication.
Students had structured
activities for only a few
hours each day, so learn-ing
was primarily the re-sponsibility
of each stu-dent.
Daily journal reports
testified to how the class
got involved with the cul-ture..
"We had to contribute to
our. own education by in-teracting
with people,"

Some interesting courses
were offered during inte-rim
this January.
Linda Gianoulis, a teach-er
at St. Paul Bible Col-lege,
taught "Teaching Eng-lish
as a Second Language."
The course had also been
taught this past summer
at Bethel. It went over gram-matical
sounds and the vo-cabulary
system of the Eng-lish
language as well as
techniques for teaching
them to the non-native
speaker. Students needs
little background to take
this class designed to ac-commodate
those who
want to teach English in
the U.S. or abroad.
Senior Dan Blake, an
M.K. from Spain, said "the
intention of the class was
useful, because it will be
helpful when I go' back to
Spain; and when we got
down to the practical parts
it was worth it."
"Sign Language and the
Deaf Community," taught
by Ken Fisher, involved a
basic study of sign lan-guage.
Fisher, who teach-es
deaf students in Cali-fornia,
presented a develop-ment
of what is called "re-ceptive
and expressive."
skills. The class also look-ed
at the 'causes of deaf-ness
and the situation of
the deaf community in our
country today.
Students began by learn-ing
proper nouns and verbs,
starting slowly to develop
eye training until they
gained proficiency. At the
end of the course the class
was able to sign the hymn
"It Is Well With My Soul".
for chapel.
Senior Sue Moyer said,
"I have relatives who are
deaf and I can use it to talk
with them. It also made
me aware of deaf peoples'
problems and what it is
like to be deaf." She con-tinued,
"I met some people
at the airport and a movie
theatre who were deaf. I
just went over and intro-duced
myself to them and
started to talk. It made me
feel accomplished.
The course "Sermon on
the Mount," taught by Al
Glenn, professor of Bibli-cal
and theological studies. .
The class studied the Beati-tudes,
Lord's Prayer and
the Sermon on the Mount
as a whole. The teachings
of Jesus were studied in
relation to how they should
be interpreted and applied
to daily life.
Glenn made the .study
useful, having the students
complete a research paper
as a potential Bible study. -
He-especially emphasized
theology and ethics in our
modern day. •

said, "The Beautitudes
were beneficial and made
me think much deeper.
"I. did not know there
was so much of the Chris-tian

in the Beautitudes—that
for me was the highest of

Excitement and desert beauty unfolds in Holy Lands tour
by JoAnn Watkins
Jericho, the Mediterra-nean
Sea, Jerusalem and
the Negev Desert were just
some of the sites visited
this interim by the Israel
Study Tour.
Dr. Arthur Lewis, Old
Testament professor, was
the instructor accompany-ing
the group of 16 from
Bethel. The group flew to
New York December 29
and departed for Greece.
Students from other
schools joined for a total
tour of about 100 students.
New Year's Day, the
class flew to Tel Aviv, Is-rael,
where they took class-es
at the Institute of Holy
Land Studies for three
weeks. The classes includ-ed
study of the different
areas of Israel, map work,
field trips and tests over
the material covered the
previous day.
"The field trips were
great, " said senior Denis
Friederich. "It was on these
field trips that we really
started to understand the
country."
"In Israel there were
three places I enjoyed a
lot," said junior Susan Rob-erts.
"Jerusalem, the Medit-erranean
Sea and Jericho."
Sophomore Dawn Martin
included the Negev Desert
as a favorite place because
of its beauty.
"The Mount of Olives,"
Friederich said was his
favorite spot, "because
that's where I got engaged!"
The trip also included
fun and frightening times.
"The funniest part of the
trip Roberts said, was "us
girls being proposed to by
men offering us so many
camels if we would marry
them." She also thought
that the group riding on
camels was funny.
For other students fun
was "shopping in the old
city of Jerusalem" and
"washing dishes at the In-stitute
with the rest of the
group,"
Arnold Abens, sopho-more,
said the most fright-ening
part was being
checked for weapons on
his way to. a Christian's
evening service. "Once they
found a knife that I used to
cut fruit and they would
not let me go."
Many of the students
commented that the land
was beautiful and the
views inspiring. "We were
on a hill; it was a beautiful
day," said sophomore Wen-dy
Ketterman. "In the dis-tance
you could hear the
shepherd's flute. It was so
peaceful."
Martin said she felt the
most inspiring thing was
the breakers on the coast
at Caesarea. "I have never
seen a crashing and pow-erful
sea like that before. I
was totally amazed at it."
"People really worship
God over there," said
Abens. "The people are fan-tastic."
He said one of the
things he enjoyed most
was getting to know some
of the people.
"I went so that I could
gain a better understand-ing
of the Bible," said Fried-erich.
"I was encouraged
because so many said the
trip made the Bible come
alive for them, and it did
for me too."
"It gave me a whole new
perspective of Israel and
political understanding,"
said Ketterman.
"I now understand," Rb-bert
s said, "what the Bib-lical
writers meant when
they wrote about the land
and the problems they
had."
Lewis said that the group
was under no limitations
for what they could do.
"There was no danger that
we were aware of," he said,
after pointing out that
there were rockets in nor-thern
Israel one week af-ter
their visit. The class
saw a number of archaeo-logical
digging sites. Lew-is
participated in the dig-gings
at the New Testa-ment
Jericho site.
Before .returning to
Greece for the return flight
the group went to Cairo,
Egypt. Because they could
not obtain plane space,
they took three buses for
the day-long trip. Tours to
the Egyptian Museum,
Pyramids of Giza, the
Sphinx, mosques and the
Citadel were some of the
scheduled activities. Jan-uary
25 the group left
Cairo, which Lewis des-cribed
as "1000 slums put
together," for the United
States via Athens.
When asked what they
missed most while on the
tour students' answers in-cluded
friends, family, safe
drinking water, the priva-cy
of being alone and not
being able to go running.
"The bathrooms we have
here!" said Roberts. "We
had a lot of different cul-tural
experiences in rela-tion
to outdoor bathrooms."
Ketterman said she
missed being able to say
"hi" to people to be friend-ly.
She explained that the
people thought their inten-tions
immoral or bad if
they were friendly.
Looking back, the stu-dents
miss the people, the
climate and the land. "Is-rael
is really a beautiful
country and I miss the
land itself," said Martin.
A new Israel study class
is being started this sum-mer.
The tour, led by Carl
Rasmussen, associate pro-fessor
of Biblical and theo-logical
studies, will last
seven weeks and carry two
credits. The tour will
spend four weeks on an
archaeological dig site.

Professor Richard W.
Peterson, originally from
Red Wing, Minn., joined
Bethel's physics depart-ment
this year. He now
lives with his wife and
five-year-old daughter in
New Brighton. Peterson
enjoys cross-country ski-ing,
biking and jogging,
but said that his work is
his most enjoyable hobby.
Peterson chairs the
physics department and is
optimistic about Bethel's
future in the sciences. He
feels that with the upcom-ing
science wing, Bethel's
physics department will
be stronger than ever.
Besides offering a good
program to physics ma-jors,
Peterson also reaches
out for the non-scientist
and believes that physics
can be an important part
of a liberal arts college's
development. Peterson
said, "Everyone should
know what science offers
society. We, as Christians,
must understand the good
of science and also the
danger it can bring to our
world."
Some of his personal re-search
interests include la-ser
applications, modern
optics and, his most recent
project, the holographic pro-cess
used in studying med-ical
instruments and the
vibrations which cause
their sound. Peterson has
written a number of pap-pers
and publications on
all three areas.
He is presently teaching
a physics course entitled
"Physical Concepts." This
course deals with musical
acoustics and is intended
for the music major or any-one
who would like to
learn about the applica-tions
of acoustics to mu-sic.
He taught a course call-ed
"Introduction to Musi-cal
Acoustics" over inter-im
and looks forward to
helping non-scientists
think scientifically.
Peterson has taught at
Western Illinois Universi-ty
for the last nine years.
He said he noticed that
Bethel students are more
serious about their stud-ies
than his former stu-dents.

Lifestyle bill handed death sentence
Versatile physics professor chairs department
by Brad Nauman
The resolution that
would require students to
re-sign the lifestyle state-ment
is dead. It began in
the student senate and
would have required stu-dents
to re-sign the life-style
statement every se-mester.
After the senate had
written up the proposal, it
was presented to Paul Fin-lay,
then registrar, to get
his reaction. Finlay stud-ied
the proposal and said
it would be impossible to
implement for two rea-sons:
First, the proposal
would receive a negative
reaction from both stu- .
dents and alumni. Many
students would resent the
implications of having to
re-sign the lifestyle state-ment.
The second reason that
Finlay killed the resolution
was because of its legal
implications. "Making a stu-dent
re-sign the lifestyle
statement after he had
signed it once would be
like calling him a liar,"
said Dave Lucas, student
body president. "We could
have run into the problem
of slander by implement-ing
the resolution," he con-tinued.
The decision to kill the
resolution was Finlay's
and was not put to a vote.

Cagers split games,
defeat Hamline 81-80
by Rob Haglund
The men's basketball
team continued their in-credible
string of barn-burning
games by split-ting
a pair of MIAC con-tests
last week. In the Roy-als'
ninth straight game to
be decided by four points
or less, the team tipped the
Hamline Pipers 81-80 in
overtime.
Led by Dwayne Nord-strom's
all-American per-formance
(25 points and
12 rebounds, both game
highs), the Royals built a
second-half lead. But Ham-line
came back to tie . the
game at the end of regula-tion
play. The teams traded
baskets in the extra period
and the Pipers took an 80-
79 lead with 10 seconds
left.
But senior co-captain
Greg Edlund showed his
experience and leadership
by taking the ball to the
hole where he was fouled
with one second to play.
With the game hanging in
the balance, Edlund step-ped
to the line looking as
calm as a jackhammer on
a city sidewalk. The first
one went in and the crowd,
already on its feet, went
wild.
Hamline called timeout
for psychological purposes,
but it didn't work as Ed-lund
saluted home number
two. The Royal fans re-joiced
in victory, but the
Pipers at tempted one last
shot. A long inbounds pass
went to Jeff Schunk who
shot for two points. Luck-ily
for the Royals this
game ended with the refe-ree
calling no basket. Ham-line
will be waiting for the
Royals next week.

Royals gave them all they
could handle before the
Auggies escaped with a
78-71 victory.
Greg Edlund scored 17
of his 25 points in the first
half; the Bethel five only
trailed by one at the inter-mission,
37-36. Augsburg's
patented secondhalf explo-sion
never went off, and
the Royals, down by three
with two minutes to play,
had a number of chances
to pull the game out. Miss-ed
free throws, turnovers
and some ill-advised shots
proved to be the Royals
downfall.
Greg Boone scored 32
points for the Auggies, lead-ing
all scorers. Jason Vel-gersdyk
tallied 21 for Be-thel,
including a tremen-dous
slamdunk in the first
half. Augsburg upped their
record to 15-0 in the con-ference
and 22-1 overall
(they are ranked fifth na-tionally).

Russ Reynolds led the

Five men in the confer-ence
meet was a Bethel
record, topping off an out-standing

Klostreich said, "Look-ing
back, I'm pleased with

well despite our inex-perience.
We have a young

The men's track team
once again put forth a fine
effort, placing second be-hind
St. Olaf last Satur-day.
St. Olaf, host of the
indoor meet, ran away with
top honors by scoring 901/2
points. Bethel had 59 and
the University of Wiscon-sin-
River Falls came in
third with 201/2 points.
Bethel had a total of sev-en
first-place performan-ces,
but the first-place fin-ish
in the 600-yard dash
by freshman Dave Jorgen-son
highlighted the meet.
Jorgenson ran a blistering
1:15, qualifying him for
the national meet this week-end.
He also broke the fresh-man
record in that event.
Other first places were
Phil Asay's long jump of
6.64 m. and triple jump of
14.10 m. and Greg Stipe's
13'6" pole vault. In the
sprinting events Tom Plock7

Paul Otto won the
60-yard dash at 6.6 and
the 300-yard dash with a
time of 32.5.
In the distance events

Lack of depth forces
women's track defeat
by Becky Dye
The Royals had a frus-trating
week, losing three
games: to Bemidji, 8-1
Monday, to Hamline, 9-5
on Wednesday and, des:
pite a hat trick by Scott
Dahlstrom, to St. Thomas,
7-5 on Friday.
In an attempt to tie the
game, with 50 seconds left
Coach Craig Dahl pulled
the Royal goalie. The Beth-el
effort was not quite
strong enough. St. Thom-as
came up with the puck,
slid it into Bethel's unat-tended
net, clinching the
St. Thomas victory, 7-5.
In the initial period, al-though
St. Thomas scored
first, the Royals made few
mistakes and put together
a 3-1 lead. At a 9:46 power
play Scott Dahlstrom
scored, assisted by Peter
Dahl. Just 10 seconds later
Steve Reese blasted a goal
to move the lead to 2-1; he
was assisted by Bryant
Hertel. The final goal of
the period was scored by
Dahlstrom, assisted by Jeff
Eklund at 14:04.
During second period ac-tion
the Bethel Royals let
down their guard, allow-ing
St. Thomas to score 5
goals and move ahead 6-3.
Goalie Robby Ladden re-placed
Curt Almberg late
in the period.
In a third period effort
to retaliate the Royals
came onto the ice with
confidence and kept an en-thusiastic
Bethel crowd on
its feet for the final 10
minutes of the game. It
was a defensive battle and
Bethel came out ahead.

Once again the only
thing that held back the
women's track team last
Saturday was lack of team
depth in the meet against
the University of Wiscon-sin-
River Falls and St.
Olaf. The women managed
to pull ahead of River Falls
in the last event to take
second place, but both
schools finished far be-hind
host team St. Olaf.
It was an exciting meet,
highlighted by perfor-mances
by Lynn Severson,
Danette Burgess and Jenny
Burgess, who -swept first,
second and third respective-ly
in the 300-yard dash.
The same three later com-bined
with Sherri Lind-quist
for the mile relay,
which Bethel won by a
fraction at 4:24.8.
Severson also won the
60-yard dash in 7.4, while
D. Burgess took third and
Lindquist fifth. Lindquist
later took second in the
400-meter dash in 65.8. J.
Burgess took fourth in the
60-yard hurdles at 9.4 and
sixth in the long jump.
In the two-mile run Ellie
Abbott set a new school
indoor record with a fourth
place time of 11:45.6. Wen-dy
Norberg finished be-hind
her in fifth place. Ear-lier
the two finished fourth
and fifth in the 600-yard
dash. Middle distance run-ner
Brenda Harris had a
2:35.4 in the 800-meter run,
taking fourth. Harris also
had a personal best in the
1500-meter run.
In the field events Tam-my

jumped to a 10-0 lead at
the beginning of the game
and were unstoppable from
that point on.

in the field in the first half,
Which is super," said La-
Rock. "We hurt ourselves
with turnovers, but they
really played an outstand-ing
game against us."

in a thrilling overtime
game, 62-57. LaRock said,
"We got down in the begin-ning
of the game, but we
gave a strong comeback.".
The Royals will attend
the state tournament Feb-ruary
26-28.
