Christian Folk Song Group Makes
LocalAppearance InArea Concert
The Briar Folke, a folk group
formed by Viscount Records, Inc..
a local company, will appear on
campus Saturday, May 13, at 7:00
P.M. in the Bethel Fieldhouse.
The group is composed of four
girls and four boys, all students
or former students at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota. They present a
program of contemporary and gos-pel
folk music accompanied b y
three guitars, banjo, ukelele, and
string bass to back up their origi-nal
vocal arrangements.
Mr. Morstadt, president of Vis-count
records stated that the group
sings for "purpose, not for profit".
The group attempts to relate mod-ern
folk themes to the person of
Jesus Christ, and the Christian life.
The concert is an appearance for

made a local television appearance,
and have sung to some 30,000 peo-ple
in the Midwest. They have sung
both secular and religious concerts-to
proms, fraterntiy and sorority
meetings, banquets, and numerous
other social gatherings.
The Briar Folke will be accom-panied
by the Gold Street Singers
in this appearance. The latter
group was formed to meet the
demands of local Midwest audi-ences
since the Briar Folke have
become involved in a nation-wide
program. Also with the groups will
be soprano, Jan Stevens, presently
studying music at the University
of Minnnesota, formerly of NY-ACK.
Notice to all "nearlyweds." If
you are planning to get married
sometime between now and the
last day of finals, you'll need more
than a marriage license and a min-ister.
This information may come
as a real blow. Students who wish
to get married during the school
year must be cleared through a
certain group that calls themselves
the Student Personnel Committee.
By pass this committe and you and
your new wife (or husband, as the
case may be) will be sent immedi-ately
to the president's office and
expelled.
This is just one of the areas of
student life that is controlled by
this faculty committee. One of its
more important jobs is its function
as advisory committee to the dean
on disciplinary matters, and as an
appeals board for students being
disciplined. According to R o n
Stone, student representative to
the committee, Dean Halleen has
chosen to use the committee more
in its advisory capacity. This way,
appeals would not be as frequent.
So far, this has proven to be the
case.
For the past three years, the
Student Personnel Committee has
functioned under the leadership of
Dr. Gary Collins, Chairman of the
Psychology department. At the be
ginning of this school year, other
members were Dr. Wessel, Miss
Starr, Mr. Jordan, and Miss Bohl-meyer.
But true to Baptist form,
the committee split (Ron's com-ment),
sending Mr. Jordan and Miss
Bohmeyer to the newly formed
Financial Aids Committee. To fill
up the depleted membership on the
former, the faculty members felt
that another student representa-tive
was needed. In light of the
committee's function, this was a
highly commendable suggestion.
Hence, Miriam Kling, representing
the feminine point of view, joined
the group. "We need her, if any-
By Susan Gilberg
thing, to drink the extra coffee,"
Ron commented.
Hearing student problems and
complaints is another function of
the Student Personnel Committee.
And one complaint they have been
hearing frequently concerns the
lack of study space on campus.
Out of 413 responses to a recent
survey distributed in the PO's, an
amazingly high percentage for
Bethel, 175 indicated as a first
suggestion, a quieter library. The
copying machine has got to go!
Other comments included the
need for enforced quiet in the
dorms, and a 24 hour study room.
Ron indicated that this might be
a real possibility, using perhaps
one or more of the department
houses. The extension of library
hours is another suggestion pres-ently
under discussion. Although
this committee is handicapped by
a small budget, they are making
plans for increasing the number
of carrels in the library, and re-doing
some rooms in the dorms
for study purposes.
The college calendar is another
concern of this committee. Should
we have quarters or remain with
semesters? Should we allow tour-ing
organizations to skip class
days? Should we change the date
or the whole policy for dropping
a class? The latter question espec-ially
was extensively discussed by
the committee. Their recommenda-tion
to the faculty was to allow a
student to drop a course, even be-fore
the day of the final, receiving
a WP (withdrew passing) if his
grade was 'D' or better. This will
hopefully go into effect next Fall.
The Student Personnel Commit-tee
is second only to the Education-al
Policies Committee in its influ-ence
on the Bethel student. It stands
ready to listen to and aid in the
student in receiving just treatment
and the maximum possible in an
education. Commenting on the ef-fectiveness
of the committee, Ron
Stone stated. "Under Dr. Collins'
chairmanship, we are working at
maximum efficiency. He's a fine
chairman!" So far this year, the
committee has been used in all
its capacities, besides instituting
new projects. However, if it is to
continue to be of maximum service
to the Bethel student it needs sto-dent
support. Filling out their
questionnaires is an important me-thod
of communication. It's part
of the voice of the Bethel student.
European Jobs
Open toStudents
Switzerland—Now it is possible
for any student to receive a paying
job in Europe of their choice with
no strings attached. The Interna-tional
Travel Est. is offering names
of employers to students and the
students make all of their own ar-rangements.
Students will receive
the same pay as their European co-worker
and work and live under
the same conditions. This new "Do-
It-Yourself" program has become
the most popular way to see and
learn Europe on an economical
basis. I T E has been considered
the most successful organization in
offering job opportunities in the
past 5 years of operation.
For complete details about jobs,
application forms and discount
tours send $1 (for overseas hand-.
ling and an air mail reply) to: Dept.
7, International Travel Est., 68 Her-rengasse,
9490 Vaduz, Principality
of Lichtenstein.
All students desiring information
on foreign travel this summer
should contact Jim Hammar for
student concessions and other help-ful
information.
The Theatre Of The Absurd, a
powerful approach to drama in our
age, comes to the Bethel stage in
the form of Ionesco's 'Rhinoceros'.
The once-only performance will be
given in the College Auditorium
on Friday, May 12, at 7:30 P.M.
Invitations have been sent to fifty
local schools to attend the pro-duction.
Under the sponsorship of the
French Language Club with the
help of Professor Jacobson the
play will be presented with the
production details under the di-rection

Exotic Party For
What promises to be one of the
most unusual social gatherings of
the year is currently being plan-ned
by the Bethel Art Department.
The May 13, Saturday, 7:00-11:00
P.M. party is being thrown as a
benefit social for the upcoming
European Art Tour headed by Ro-bert
Nelson, of the Bethel Art
Department.
The three events scheduled for
the party include a series of slide
projector sets based on motion
studies made by students in last
semester's matrix course taught by
Mr. Nelson. These series use the
slide projector as a slow motion
film experience. One of these sets
was shown in chapel recently—
the "Kyrie" by Ken Thornberry.
Some of the sets are humorous,
others bright and entertaining and
several of a serious and Christian
theme. This part of the program
will take 40 minutes and will be
shown three times.
Event number two will be one
of the now famous breed of ex-periences
known as 'Happenings'.
This drama-art presentation will be
acted and designed by the art
students. This event will also be
shown three times.
The third phase of the party
will be a Gallery Cafe supper. The
meal will be Italian style; served
in the large painting studio that
will be appropriately decorated for
and student-director, David Stagg.
He states in a short release, "In a
production of this kind we are not
trying to create an aesthetic exper-ience
for the audience. Rather, the
emphasis has been placed upon the
usage and appreciation of French
language." Though the play is be-ing
presented in French, a short
English 'brief' will be given for
the benefit of those who do not
know, or are just beginning
French.
Admission for the performance
has been set at 250 per person.
All students are invited to attend.

served continually throughout the
evening.
Price per ticket for the whole
ride is $1.50. The party will be
held in the Art Department studios
in Seminary Hall.
RECITAL
Tenor, Dennis Port, and organ-ist,
Gareth Olson will be presenting
their senior recitals at Westmin-ster
Presbyterian Church. The con-cert
is slated for Saturday, May 13,
at 8:00 P.M.
Port will be singing among other
numbers, a Song Cycle by Schu-mann
one number from Schutz,
and a solo cantata by the English
Baroque composer, Purcell, '0
Lord, Rebuke Me Not".
A contemporary section will fea-ture
five 20th Century numbers,
including Aaron Copland's arrange-ment
of an old American folk song,
`Chinaring Chaw'.
In the final section, Port will
sing a duet with his fiance Nola
Schmiess, as well as a spiritual.
Olson will be playing among oth-er
works, 'Concerto for Organ and
Brass Choir' composed in 1956 by
Marius Monnikendam, a Dutchman.
The brass group will be composed
of 2 trombones and 2 trumpets.

'Free University' Applies
Education To Problems
The "free university" is becoming a not so rare bird on
campuses across the nation. It is an attempt to cement together
some of the disjointed classroom discussions into an integrated,
realistic approach to life.
In that academic integration has become the cry of this
page, the following is a proposal toward acheiving that goal.
It is the legacy of former Student Association President, Jim
Keim.
Subject: course to be determined by students in its con-tent
and structure.
Weight: 1-3 credits.
Membership: restricted to upperclassmen, open to soph-omores
by vote of class members. Size to be restricted to no
more than 36.
Content: (suggested) current history and contemporary
problems, e.g. race relations, population explosion, poverty,
foreign relations, nuclear disarmament and conventional war-fare,
liberal arts education, place of government in economic
order, church-state relations (particularly in regard to recent
Supreme Court decisions), life style of the Christian, changes
in church structure, re-entry to noncollegiate life.
Format: (suggested) two sessions per week for a total of
3 hours. First session straight lecture on topic under considera-tion,
lecturer to be chosen by the class (outsider, insider, advi-sor,?)
Second session debate between two member teams on
topic for first hour and quarter; questions and discussion by
other members of class remainder of the period.
Faculty: one advisor responsible for grades (see below),
to suggest relevant materials on topics for discussion.
Grades: pass-fail by vote of class.
Class work: attendance at sessions to be recorded by class
secretary, participation in debates and discussion, no papers
or reports.
Aside from the fact that this would be valuable for the stu-dents
involved, this kind of class could serve as a valuable "think
tank" in terms of campus problems and their local solutions.
A discussion on the liberal arts here at Bethel would be in-valuable
to the whole community.
At present, campus problems receive fragmentary atten-tion,
as they relate to peripheral interest in the classroom.
The "free university" would allow for direct academic con-frontation
with practical problems.
There is one draw back to this, and that is the question
of integrity on the part of students who would owe nothing
toward grades, and who would have no responsibilities in terms
of actual paper work. This problem can be averted through
careful selection of course members, by knowledgeable per-sonnel.
The case for such a program is substantial. What is needed
is someone to plead the case.

Attacks Senseless Diatribe Prof Evaluation
Writer Defends Crusaders Dean Appraises Letter:
Student Profiteering Cheapens
Cultural Advances On Campus Even those Bethelites most ve-hemently
opposed to Campus Cru-sade
will have to admit to one
good that has resulted from their
emphasis and presence among us.
People are talking, a rare phenon
enom for Bethel, indeed. Unfor-tunately,
too much of the talk a-mounts
to unfounded criticism.
Mind you, I am not opposed to
criticism, carefully thought out and
constructively presented. However,
I have not found this to be the na-ture
of what I have heard. Such
phrases like, "It's a personality
cult," "All they've got to offer
are crutches," "They cram the
Gospel down people's throats," etc.,
are poor substitutes for thoughtful
and constructive criticism. Usual-ly
they are spoken out of ignorance
or are just so much popular hear-say.
Why do college students have to
see everything in either black or
white? All for or all against. Only
a blind man would fail to see the
tremendous job that Campus Cru-sade
is doing to bring Christ to
a student world looking for an-swers.
Those who would criticize
it for patenting the Gospel and re-fusing
to offer it in any other
form are guilty of the very insensi-tivity
that they accuse it of. Cam-pus
Crusade is a human organiza-tion
suseptible to flaws which they
most certainly possess. Its armies
of college students, in many cases
insufficiently trained, have been
guilty of high pressure salesman-ship,
rash statements, and the like.
People have been offended and
enemies made.
But the whole emphasis of the
CCC leadership training is to en-courage
flexibility in both approach
and "styles" of witnessing. Crusad-ers
are not against witnessing by
life and action as some would ac-cuse
them. Their suggestion how-ever
is that we have been satis-fied
with only that. We have used
that as a crutch. We have taught
that witnessing is a terrifying ex-perience
and one to be entered
into with fear and trembling. They
would say no, it is the natural
response of a heart reconciled to
God.
To sit in the coffee shop or
wherever it might be and totally
condemn an organization obviously
being used by the Lord is to con-demn
the Lord's judgment. Cru-sade
has born fruit and lasting
fruit. If it has bcome a god to
some, it is not the fault of the
organization itself. It is our duty
as Christians and developing ones,
to be responsible about our verbal
expression of opinions. Criticism
and diatribe for their own sake is
immature.

HOW TO GET A'S
IN ALL YOUR FINAL EXAMS
In today's column, the last of the school year, I don't
intend to be funny. (I have achieved this objective many
times throughout the year, but this time it's on purpose.)
The hour is wrong for levity. Final exams are looming.
Have you got a chance ? I say yes ! I say America did
not become the world's foremost producer of stove bolts
and cotter pins by running away from a fight !
You will pass your finals ! How ? By studying. How ? By
learning mnemonics.
Mnemonics, the science of memory aids, was, as we all
know, invented by the great Greek philosopher Mnemon
in 526 B.C. (This, incidentally, was only one of the inven-tions
of this fertile Athenian. He also invented the house
cat, the opposing thumb, and, most important, the stair-case.
Before the staircase people were forced willy-nilly
to live out their lives on the ground floor, and many grew
cross as bears. Especially Demosthenes who was elected
Consul of Athens six times but never served because he
was unable to get up to the office of the Commissioner of
Oaths on the third floor to be sworn in. But after Mnemon's
staircase, Demosthenes got to the third floor easy as pie
—to Athens' sorrow, as it turned out. Demosthenes, his
temper shortened by years of connnement to the ground
floor, soon embroiled his countrymen in a series of sense-less
wars with the Medes, the Persians, and the Los
Angeles Rams. This later became known as the Missouri
Compromise.)
But I digress. We were discussing mnemonics, which
are nothing more than aids to memory — little jingles to
help you remember names, dates, and places. For example :
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In fourteen hundred ninety two.
See how simple? Make up your own jingles. What, for
instance, came after Columbus's discovery of America?
The Boston Tea Party, of course. Try this :
Samuel Adams flang the tea
Into the briny Zuyder Zee.
(NOTE : The Zuyder Zee was locaied in Boston Harbor
until 1801 when Salmon P. Chase traded it to Holland for
Alaska and two line backers.)
But I digress. Let's get back to mnemonics. Like this :
In nineteen hundred sixty seven
Personna Blades make shaving heaven.
I mention Personna because the makers of Personna
Super Stainless Steel Blades are the sponsors of this
column. If I may get a little misty in this, the final column
of the school year, may I say it's been a pleasure working
for Personna ? May I say further that it's been an even
greater pleasure working for you, the undergrads of
America? You've been a most satisfactory audience, and
I'm going to miss you this summer. In fact, I'd ask you
all to come visit me except there is no access to my room.
The makers of Personna, after I missed several deadlines,
walled me in. I have no doors or windows—only a mail slot.
I slip the columns out ; they slip in Personnas and such
food as can go through a mail slot. (For the past six
months I've been living on after dinner mints.)
I am only having my little joke. The makers of Personna
have not walled me in, for they are good and true and
gleaming and constant — as good and true and gleaming
and constant as the blades they make—and I wish to state
publicly that I will always hold them in the highest esteem,
no matter how my suit for back wages comes out.
And so, to close the year, I give you one last mnemonic:
Study hard and pass with honors,
And always shave with good Personnors!

To the Editor:
I wish to bring to your attention
an inaccuracy in last week's CAR-RION.
CHINSE's award is not giv-en
to the "greatest college book-store
profiteer" but rather to the
greatest college bookstore on the
basis of merchandise evaluation.
The Bethel Bookstore received
this award this year( and incident-ally
appears to be a shoe-in for
next year's award).
The award for the nation's great-est
college bookstore profiteer is
awarded by JIP and did indeed
go to Bob Bergerud of the Bethel
Bookstore.
Certainly the bookstore is to be
commended for its brilliant main-tenance
of capitalism and the "A-merican

Dr. Muntz:
Your recent book—Your Guess Is As Good As Mine—was brought
to my attention by a review in the renowned publication of Bethel Col-lage
and Cemetery, the CARRION. The fact that you received an hon-orary
doctorate from your brother's alma mater (more or less) because
of it, caused me to think it worthy of analysis. I was alarmed to discover
the poor quality of your scholarship and methodology as well as your
lack of knowledge. Allow me to make some revelations which may
interest you.
You attempt to "determine the true nature of the book from all
angles." This is hardly valid. You have often criticized those who at-tempt
to transfer their recognized authority from one field to another.
Surely it must be obvious to you that Biblical criticism and mathematics
are not the same area of scholarship and that an authority in one is by
no means an authority in the other. How, then, can you attempt to
criticize a book from "all angles? - The ture nature of something must
be closely examined and cannot be known from a superficial examina-tion
of the mathematical relationship of the parts—especially in Bibli-cal
criticism.
You outlined in considerable detail your investigation and exegesis
of the "original Sanskrit and Egyptian tests." (ch 3) Surely you realize
that these are translations from the English. Why do you not return
to the original manuscripts, the primary sources? The earliest available
manuscript in the original language is of course the one known as the
Monarch James dated circa 1611 A.D. This is accepted by most authori-ties
as being the most reliable and as I mentioned, the earliest. It is
also viewed as inerrant.
Your suggestion that Revelations is a contemporary forgery is a
neat attention-getter, but little else can be said for it. An examination
of the Monarch James manuscript shows that the book is part of the
original canon. You will note that numerous allusions are made to it
throughout the entire Old Testament. This absolutely rules out Lee
Harvey Oswald as co-author. He was not old enough at the time, and
furthermore, the language in which the original was written is obviously
foreign to Oswald. Note his statements in the newspapers of a couple
of years ago. The language is entirely different.
I think it much more likely that the real culprit is Shakespeare.
A comparison of his language with that of the book under consideration
shows them to be identical, and you will remember that he was a con-temporary
with the Monarch James manuscript. I have recently ana-lyzed
the area of the college catalog which is devoted to your depart-ment.
Why are you teaching Revelations in Johannine Litrature (121.
Johannine Literature. A study of the Fourth Gospel, the three Epistles
of John and the book of Revelations . . . p 82?
In reference to the "final holocaust", which you have placed far
in the future on your eschatological checklist, it may be sooner than
you have determined. Some local diviners have assigned it to the date
of May 13, 1967. Perhaps you should revise your checklist to coincide
with this date.
Argentina? I hardly think so. You are probably confused by refer-ences
to the "Christ of the Andes." This is not a person but a statue
in the Andes Mountains of South America.
I spent some time considering your analysis of the numerical
symbols in the book. The idea of a code is intriguing, however, if this
is the solution, I think that you have the wrong code. Morse may be
closer. You will notice that the "words" which have resulted from your
formula are not closely related to any known phonetic system. The
Greek language of course requires vowels and has few words ending
in a similar manner, except of course for the irregulars in the fifth de-clension.
Hebrew would be a better guess (as long as you're gussing). Yet
even here there are some problems. You will notice that your "transla-tion
of 144000 contains the letter "h". This letter is contained in the
Hebrew name of God, "Yahew" and therefore is considered sacred. It
is not even used in the Hebrew numerical system. These considerations
point to an erroneous element in your formula. Perhaps you should
check your arithmetic?
Automobiles with shiny headlights and discounted price tags? What
does your diagram of Ezekiel's vision look like? I understand that your
hobby is photographing spaceships. Perhaps . . .
The conciseness of your book is a strike against it. Are you not
aware of Paul's admonition to put profundity before clarity?
You seem to be overconcerned with having your countenance por-trayed
in all College publications. I suggest that you spend some time
studying Paul's writings. These too are included in Monarch James.
Sincerely for profundity,
H F Carl, ed.

The Bethel Baseball Boys slip-ped
back into repose when they
visited Stout State last week. They
managed to get more hits during
the doubleheader than their op-ponents
but could not transform
them into an adequate number of
runs. Each team had five hits in
the first game, but the score end-ed
a lop-sided 7-1. The Royals
lone run came in the first inning
on singles by Nolin and Daniels
and a force out by Terry Muck
which allowed Nolin to score. Dan
Gross went the distance on the
mound.
The second game was even more
discouraging as Stout won 5-3
while gathering only three hits
compared to Bethel's six. Barry
Anderson thwacked a home run
with one on in the second and Tim
Daniels scored the other run in
the fourth. Murray Sitte started for
Bethel and gave up only two hits,
but each was a circuit clout with
The Bethel cindermen won one
triangular meet and finished sec-ond
in another last week. On a
frigid May 3 the thinclads were
edged by Hamline 74-66 1/2, but
outscored Augsburg by 36 1/2 points
to capture second. The tracksters,
however, responded to the sunny
weather on Saturday May 6 to
score 70 points and trounce host
St. Thomas and Augsburg, who
had 51 and 46 points respectively.
Craig Peterson and Dave Pound
highlighted Saturday's victory by
their record breaking performanc-es.
Peterson ran the 440-yard in-termediate
hurdles in 57.4 to smash
the old record by .9 of a second.
Pound's 51.3 in the 440-yard dash
eclipsed Don Travaille's long stand-ing
mark of 51.4
Weather-Hampered
Netmen Notch Win
After having had two matches
cancelled last week because of
the inclement weather, the netmen
responded to Saturday's good wea-ther
by trouncing Wisconsin State
University at Eau Claire 6-3.
Hampered by injuries, Bill Pet-ersen
lost 4-6, 2-6. Neither Gary
Hasselblad nor Craig Anderson had
any difficulty with their opponents
with Gary winning 6-3, 6-4, and
Craig winning 6-4, 6-2. Tom Hulst
arrived late from Russell Johnson's
Geology field trip to find that he
had won his match by forfeit. In
the last two singles matches John
Tegenfeldt won 6-0, 6-3, and John
Turnquist lost 1-6, 1-6 to give Beth-el
a 4-2 advantage in the match.
In the doubles matches, Coach
Gustafson experimented with new
doubles combinations which won
two of the three doubles matches.
The team of Bill Petersen-Gary
Hasselblad won 6-3, 6-1, Craig
Anderson-Tom Hulst won 6-2, 6-3,
and John Tegenfeldt-John Turn-quist
lost 1-6, 6-8 to give Bethel
its final 6-3 victory.
Only two matches remain on
the tennis team's schedule as they
meet. Minnesota-Morris at home on
May 11, and the final match at
home against Stout State Univer-sity
on May 16 .

a walking man on first. With trou-ble
in the fourth, Bob Jackson
came in to pitch. After walking
the first man he faced, he pro-ceeded
to strike out the side.
Monday at Morris meant more
luck as they split with the Cougars.
The first game was nip and tuck.
Dan gross was the stand out as
he struck out eight and scored a
run. He struck out the side in the
fourth, got out of trouble in the
third by whiffing the last two men,
then finishing like a pro, struck
out the last two men to end the
game and gain a victory. Tom Cor-ned's
bases loaded single drove in
the first two runs and the third
came across on Muck's sacrifice
fly.
The night cap was as discourag-ing
as Barry Goldwater would be
at an ADA convention. After five
and a half innings, with the score
knotted at two apiece, the roof
fell in. John Carmean struck out
the side but Morris also managed
Jim Hammar turned in another
outstanding performance at St.
Thomas, winning the 100-yard
dash, the broad jump, and the
triple jump, and placing second
in the 220-yard dash. Other first
place winners were Edgar Peter-man
in the 880-yard run with a
2:02.6. and Dave Pearson in the
high jump at 6 feet. Second place
finishes were recorded by Fred
Swedberg in the discus, Peterson
in the 120-yard high hurdles, Ron
Bergman in the pole vault, Andy
Lehman in the triple jump, and
the mile relay team.
At Hamline Bergman took the
pole vault at 12 feet 6 inches, Ham-mar
again finished first in the
broad jump, and won the 220-yard
clash in a very fast 22.3, only .1
of a second off the school record.
In the 330-yard intermediate high
hurdles Peterson, Lehman, and Bill
Malyon finished first, second, and
third with Peterson running a 42.2.
In the triple jump, the Royals took
second, third, and fourth with
Hammar, Lehman, and Malyon fin-shing
in that order.

to score four runs on no hits. They
drew four walks, capitalized on
three errors and stole the game
by stealing four bases. The Royals
scorded in the third inning on a
walk to Carmean and singles by
Nolin and Daniels. But the season
isn't over until the last out of the
last game.
2nd Newl 3rd Old
Top Track Meet
The annual intramural track meet
was held last Saturday. Officially
tabulated team scores are still un-available,
but Second New is the
unofficial winner with Third Old
taking second place. Bob Olsen
picked up two firsts, four seconds,
and a fourth in pacing Second New
to the top position, while Dave An-derson
took three firsts, a second,
and a third for Third Old.
Triple winner Anderson garner-ed
his firsts in the high hurdles,
the 220, and the 440, with Olsen
second in each event. Anderson
won the highs in 18 flat, the 220
in 25.7, and recorded a fine 57.4
in the 440. Olsen and Anderson
reversed places in the 100 yard
dash with Olsen posting a winning
time of 11.0 seconds. Dan Versaw
was a double winner in the other
running events, taking the mile in
5:37 and the 880 yard run in 2.33.1,
Jim Lindberg was a double win-ner
in the field events. His toss
of 117'5" won the discus, with Jon
Bjorklund second. He heaved the
shot 33'11 1/4" to out-distance Olsen
for his other first. Lynn Bergfalk's
leap of 5'5" won the high jump,
with Anderson taking second at 5'-
1" on the basis of fewest misses.
In the broad jump Olsen took first
with a jump of 18'6 1/2". Jon Chris-tian
was second. Olsen and Roger
Swanson were still going in the
pole vault when the meet ended,
with Swanson having fewer misses.

Football, cross country, basketball, wrestling, hockey, base-ball,
track, tennis, golf--ever stop to think of the number of
battle fronts on which the Royals compete? Such a question
should be unnecessary, but it does seem like much of the stu-dent
body is oblivious to the diversity of action Bethel sports
offer.
Of course football and basketball sometimes meet with en-thusiastic
support, but it is seldom maintained throughout an
entire season, and it often tails off to meager proportions in
games lacking special attractions. Apart from the gridiron and
hardcourt sports, however, interest in Bethel athletics ebbs
drastically. Students conveniently label the others as "minor
sports" and dismiss them with a minimum of attention.
Several factors contributed to this neglect. The absence
of facilities for home athletic events presents a serious de-terent
for strong student backing. Still it need not be an
impasse. The sparse attendance at home tennis matches, only
a stone's throw from campus, indicates that transportation
problems are more of an excuse than a cause for the neglect
of "minor" sports. One would not have to step on too precarious
ground to say the same for schoolwork. Edgren TV watchers,
coffee shop patrons, sporadic water fighting, and a host of
other things suggest that college life is not all work.
Actually, minor sports are merely the creation of an apa-thetic
student body. No one can say that all sports should
draw the crowds that football and basketball do, but the others
deserve more attention than an occasional glance. Why not
start a campaign to stamp out "minor sports?"
