Negro Struggle Enters New Era;
Legislation Not Enough, Says King
Only a small number of students
attended the coffee shop program
Saturday evening. The panel dis-cussion
concerned tuition costs at
Bethel, focusing particularly on the
possibilities for a "Guaranteed Tu-ition
Plan" at Bethel College. Mod-erated
by Mr. Owen Halleen, the
other panel members were Presi-dent
Lundquist, Mr. Ken White,
Comptroller, and students Jim
Keim and Art Blessing.
Of the approximately 1000 ac-credited
institutions of higher
learning in the country, only 39
are on a "guaranteed tuition plan"
according to Mr. White. Nearly
all the colleges in the vicinity of
the Twin Cities have a plan of
this type, except Bethel, Concor-dia
Teacher's College and St. Paul
Bible College, although Macalester
and St. Thomas are discontinuing
their plans.
At near-by Hamline University
about 85% of the student body
are currently enrolled in their
voluntary plan. The basic advan-tage
for students is that they can
plan realistically on what their
education is going to cost them in
dollars. An advantage for t h e
school is that the drop-out rate is
lowered—Hamline has experienced
a marked retention of students
since the plan was adopted.
Although Bethel's retention rate
is also rising, students who drop
out from Bethel list lack of fin-ances
as their major reason. It was
also brought out that many upper
division courses have only a hand-ful
of students. The administration
does look favorably on considering
a guarantee plan, but it is up to
students to show interest in this
idea and press for its adoption at
Bethel.
disparity of the high tuition in the
Another major problem discus-sed
concerned the fear that Bethel
will be come a school for the "el-ite"
of the Conference with con-tinued
tuition increases. President
Lundquist and the Board of Trus-tees
share this same fear and are
seeking answers to this problem.
One thing which puts Bethel at a
disadvantage when compared to
other schools is that our income
from endowment funds is relative-ly
low because of the smallness of
our denomination and the fact that
Bethel has only been on a full col-
Although many financial aids
and loan plans are available, they
are not keeping up with the rapid
rise of educational and tuitional
costs. The competitive nature of
faculty salaries across the country
is also helping to increase costs at
Bethel.
There were perhaps four rea-sons
for the lack of interest shown
in the program Saturday: Students
at Bethel are not in any need of
financial help; many were at the
Peter, Paul, and Mary concert;
there was no on-campus activity
earlier Saturday evening to pro-vide
a "carry-over crowd"; or stu-dents
just do not know what a
guaranteed tuition plan is.
Kickapoo Jubilee, a musical ex-travaganza
with a pot pourri of
music, is scheduled for the Field-house,
Saturday, May 6 at 8:00
P.M.
The program is based on an im-aginary
Clan feud in the Ozark
Mountains of the South. Elaborate
set construction is planned for the
evening of entertainment.
Among the featured performers
will be the Sabathini Baptist Choir,
from a local negro church.
Others included in the program
are Harold the Electrician, Bob

In an exclusive article in the
May Reader's Digest, 19-year-old
Wang Ch'ao-Tien writes: "The true
purpose of herding millions of
teenagers toward Peking like a
chain of ants was to expose them
to pro-Mao party functionaries who

Dr. Martin Luther King, Baptist
minister and well known civil
rights leader, spoke to students
last Thursday afternoon on the
mall of the University of Minneso-ta
St. Paul campus. The relaxed
and docile crowd was without dem-onstators
except for one student
who carried a placard with the
stirring message: Truth, Justice,
Freedom, Peace.
After expressing his gratitude
for being able to be in Minnesota
on a warm day, Dr. King launched
into a discussion of what he con-siders
to be three basic issues that
we must grapple with today.
The first of these issues is rac-ism.
King lamented that the civil
rights advances of the decade have
done little to better the conditions
in the north or penetrate the
depths of Negro depression. While
legal and legislative victories have
been won, the struggle now must
focus upon obtaining genuine e-quality
for the Negro and solving
his social and economic problems.
"The Negro," King stated, "is
going through a major depression,"
and if all Americans shared his po -
sition, the United States would
find itself in a far graver situation
than it experienced during the
1930's:
In order to remedy the Negro's
plight, it is necessary to do more
than condemn extremism; one must

who will lead the clans in their
feuding activities.
The program is an attempt to
pull coffeeshop reconstruction cost
out of the red side of the ledgers.
Kickapoo Jubilee is an idea car-ried
over from last year's program,
Talk of the Town, a much publi-cized
and lauded campus social.
This year's program has been pre-ceded
by no less preparation and
thought.

cal anti-Mao party forces on their
return home."
Wang is the first defector to
reach the West with the inside
story of the Red Guard movement.
He paints a picture of hunger, di-sease
and chaos in Peking, where
he went at the urging of wall
posters to hear Mao speak. He says
that it took him and his compan-ions
five days to travel the 700
miles to Peking from their village
of Manchouli, a town of 20,000 on
the Soviet border.
In Peking, he writes, he and
thousands of other teen-agers were
jammed into the Workers' Sta-cont'd
on page three
translate a concern for equality
and justice into positive action.
King repeater his conviction that
non-violence is "still the most po-tent
weapon for the Negro in his
struggle." We should not only con-demn
riots, but more important,
the conditions which cause riots.
King believes these conditions can-not
be improved until the ghetto
has been dispersed. Priority should
be given to legislation which makes
discrimination in housing uncon-stitutional.
A second issue which faces us
today is that of poverty. We have
instruments and the wealth to abol-ish
poverty but lack the will to do
it. To alleviate world poverty, Dr.
King suggested the developed na-tions
contribute 2 percent of their
anuual gross national product to a
fund for aiding underdeveloped
countries. To abolish poverty at
home he proposed that the gov-ernment
guarantee an annual in-come
for all families.
War, specifically the war in Viet
Nam, was the third issue King
chose to discuss. Not only is our
present course diverting attention
from the civil rights movement, but
it is "politically suicidal" and "mor-ally
wrong." We see ourselves as
"the messianic, divine policeman
of the whole world." Referring to
Gen. Westmoreland's recent ap-pearance
before Congress, he re-marked
that "we don't need gen-erals
to come back home and cre-ate
a climate for escalation." (Ap-plause)
Not wishing for his dissent to
be equated with disloyalty, Dr.
King claimed that the dissenter is
actually the serviceman's best
friend because he disagrees with
"our boys . . . being killed in a
futile, bloody war." (more clapping)
In closing Dr. King defended his
stand on Vietnam by explaining
that the issues of war and civil
rights are tied together. "I can't
segregate my morality. . .Injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice
everywhere."
This is one of the comments in

periodically since the philosophy
of Bethel tends to look at all of
life as a "calling of God."

Former Red Guard Youth Escapes
Gives Candid Look At Revolution
Monday's Chapel Reveals
Weakness In Campus Life
Any full blooded, robust, Bethel-size Christian would have
a few words to say about Monday's chapel. Comments range
from stupified stutters to scalpel sharp criticism. There is one
thing however that seems to characterize all that has been
said — it has all sprung from ignorance.
This reaction reveals clearly two things about the Bethel
community. One, for most of us students, the liberal arts has
not really liberated us from culturalism. Or perhaps better
said, the liberal education has not allowed us to look objective-ly
at alien phenomena. This results, in turn, from two things,
a faulty approach to this kind of education, and secondly, the
fact that we are never liberated from our provincial heritage.
Much as we wish it would, the liberal arts cannot possibly
program a man or woman so as to understand every situation
in life. But its pupose is to cultivate a state of mind that is
openly receptive to exotic (that is unusual, that which lies
outside our "normality") life not as an oddity, but as a func-tional
reality in a lively society. When the liberal arts has
led its student to this peak, it has accomplished its wildest
dreams.
The information and knowledge that flows freely in class-rooms
every day is not intended to be a free agent. It is in-tended
to stimulate the growth of the liberal mind, and to serve
it in encounter with life. It is lamentable that our society has
lost sight of this ultimate goal in the face of a ballooning ob-session
with knowledge. This illegitimate love affair has serv-ed
to cloud our vision, our perception, our ability to understand
and perceive. Perhaps this is our greatest weakness in liberal
arts that we have allowed knowledge to become our god. And
this weakness issues directly from the segregation of life from
knowledge. (See the editorial in the April 20, 1967 issue of
CLARION.)
There is nothing evil about our heritage. It is in fact what
makes us all unique. It can serve as a tool toward un-derstanding
others. What would we be without our own self
consciousness in terms of our experiences? But when our ful-crum
on life has become its own reason for being, we will
become consumed, destroyed in the fire of pride. This sickness
turns peace into war, love into hate, understanding to ignor-ance,
acceptance to a sneer.
There is a second observation we can make about our-selves.
We all have rather miniscule understanding about
what it means to be Christian. For most of us the 'gospel'
has become an American product, planted by America, nur-tured
by America, and sometimes we even feel that America
gives the plant the growth. When the tree bears its fruit
we slap on a Chiquita brand sticker and peddle it around.
Any fruit without the sticker goes to the garbage incinerator.
The fruit of the Spirit is not the sticker. The fruit of the
Spirit is the fruit itself. God has nothing to do with the sticker,
that is something of our own concoction. God gives the growth,
be that to a seedless or seeded variety of fruit.
When the sticker becomes our god just as knowledge has
become our obsession, we will find ourselves in a worse plight
than the blind men and the elephant. We must give them credit
for discovering more than one part of the elephant, at least.

Borner Congratulates Sammons;
Victory In Senate Race Lauded
Mao's Book Guides Chinese Future
Quotations From Mao Tse-Tung—Bantam Extras, New York
The "little red book" has by now become a symbol
of China's Red Guards and Mao's cultural revolution.
Although Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung
is by no means a complete anthology of his works, it
does present the reader with quotations from speeches
which Mao has made on any topic from "Culture
and Art" to "People's War."
The basis of Mao's thought can be traced to
Marxist-Leninist teachings, but his interpretation of
these writings reflects his own experience with using
these writings. Mao introduced the idea that the pea-sants
rather than the proletariat were to be the
vanguard of the revolution. Professor A. Doak Bar-nett
states that Mao also places a greater stress on
the role of human will in history than have other
Marxists.
Nowhere does Mao rationally outline any par-ticular
theory. He instead tries to give practical guide
lines by which the communist can organize and direct
his own life and the future of China. Many inconsis-tencies
appear in Mao's thought as he attempts to
give direction to various problems. Such is the case
when in 1957 he advocated that communist countries
should let ". . . a hundred flowers bloom and a hun-dred
schools of thought contend . . . to promote the
progress of the arts and the sciences", whereas during
the present cultural revolution the arts are being
suppressed because they are signs of a decadent,
capitalist society.
Another interesting aspect of Mao's thought is
the way in which he relates theory to practice. Theory
is completely dependent upon practice and its func-tion
is to serve practice. The emphasis on the practical
nature of theory rather than theory as an abstract
philosophy makes theory a "weapon" in the commu-nists'
attempts to revolutionize the world.
The importance of the book lies in the fact that
it is a guide book. The communist ideology is a
prescriptive ideology. Mao's sayings become a prac-tical
guide for dedicated revolutionaries in their ef-forts
to conduct "uninterrupted revolution."
The present appeal of Quotations from Chairman
Mao Tse-Tung which has placed it on the world's
best-seller list is because it is related to a current
struggle. Readers have been hearing about the Red
Guards for many months but, only recently was this
book published in English. Because QUOTATIONS
from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung is written in a very
clear and simple English, it is available for all to
read and gives a "taste" of Mao's thought to those
who might not want to attempt to read a lengthier
or more detailed volume of Mao's writings.
Bethel Campus Planning Committee
Decides On New 'Cluster Concept'
Page 2 the CLARION Thursday, May 4, 1967 Tgook Rebiew
Fellow Students and Cohorts:
Instead of writing countless ar-ticles,
I decided to write a letter
synthesizing all that I would like
to say.
1. I congratulate Leonard Sam-mons
and those who voted for him.
Most people on campus who think,
realize that Bethel politics would
be dead without him. People ask
if there are any politics to worry
about. We make them.
2. I thank the other twelve pto-ple
who voted for me and elected
me to be treasurer of the Junior
Class for next year.
3. Last Thursday, Dr. Martin Lu-ther
King spoke at Moo U. As a
speaker, he was very enjoyable to
listen to. Other than that, he said
nothing really profound. He would
rather have the government spend
more to put "God's children on
their feet" on the earth if they
can spend billions to fight an un-just
war and try to send a man to
the moon. He has lost favor with
some people recently because of
his stand on the War in Viet Nam.
He feels, however, that the war is
tied with his cause of racial equal-ity
and economic security for all
because he is fighting for these
things for all mankind. The person
who demonstrates against the war
is a better friend of our soldiers
than we who support the war ef-fort.
Still he denounces the more
militant approach to end racism.
4. Saturday, at the "Opportuni-ties
Unlimited" Conference spons-ored
by the Republican Party, Sen-ator
Howard Baker, Jr., of Tennes-see,
spoke much more articulately
than King. The main emphasis of
the whole conference was involve-ment.
Baker stated that America
isn't ruled by the majority, but by
a majority of those who make the
effort to be heard. He supports
those who dissent if they do so
in an intelligent manner and try
to improve a stuation instead of
tearing down existing conventions.
5. I'm sorry that I am unable to
be a Bethel delegate to hear Dr.
Carl McIntire this Friday night due
to the fact that I am going to an
evangelistic meeting in my home
church in Hastings. Anyone inter-ested
in either, may contact me.
Unbiasedly yours,
Wally Borner

Undoubtedly the busiest com-mittee
on campus at present is
the College Campus Planning Com-mittee.
Their June 1st target date
for the completion of space plan-ning
is fast approaching. Depart-ment
heads and committee mem-bers
are busy making last minute
decisions on how much space, what
kind, and how many each depart-ment
will need. Question: Will the
Physical Education department get
a swimming pool?
The College Campus Planning
Committee was organized in 1965
after the completion of the Semi-nary
complex. Dr. Walter Wessel
of the Christianity department as-sumed
the responsibilities of chair-man
in January after the death of
Dr. Quentin R. Bohne who served
from 1965. Mr. Philip Carlson, as-sistant
professor of mathematics,
and committee member presently
on sabbatical leave, will act as
chairman during the next school
year while Dr. Wessel is on sab-batical.
Other members of the committee
are Dr. Robert Berglund, Dr. Roy
Dalton, Dr. D. Fagerstrom, Dr.
James Rodgers, Mr. Eugene John-son,
and Mr. Owen Halleen. Also
sitting on the committee are Pres-ident
Lundquist, Mr. Burton Wess-man,
and Mr. Webster Muck. Stu-dent
representative is senior, Ron
Harris.
The basic task of the committee
has been the revision and refine-ment
of initial plans laid down in
1964 by the architects and a small
committee of college admniistra-tive
and faculty representatives.
The basic philosophy is the integra-tion
of learning and living; stu-dents
and faculty. Building design
and campus layout are usually not
thought of as crucial to the im-plementing
of a philosophy o f
learning. But one short conversa-tion
with a committee member will
reveal just how crucial it really
is — enough so, that the Planning
Committee has committed them-selves
to what is called, the "clus-ter
concept."
For Bethel this will mean four
or five collegiate halls containing
a central academic core. An April
20th report to the committee ex-plains:
"Each collegiate hall would pro- .
vide study-living facilities for ap-proximately
300 to 400 students.
Women's and men's dormitories
would be immediately related to
common lounges, study spaces,
advisory and counseling offices,
. . . and perhaps some faculty or
academic offices."
Students would be grouped in
these halls according to their ma-jors,
the intention being to inspire
dialogue and general sharing of
common interests. The above men-tioned
report states, "Potentially,
education becomes a round the
clock experience — a way of living
which claims the student's full
time and attention."
The cluster concept is not the
only new and exciting possibility
for the Arden Hills campus. In the
planning stages are a Social Sci-ence
Research Center; a psycholo-gy
laboratory with eight testing
rooms, a statistics lab and observa-tion
room; and a micro-biology lab-oratory.
Also being considered is
closed circuit television that will
allow Bethel to offer courses trans-mitted
from the University of Min-nesota.
D.A.I.R.S. is short for an-other
new idea being discussed.
The Dial Access Information Re-trieval
System is an electronic de-vice
that will enable students to
make up or review their lectures
and class room discussions in much
the same way a language labora-tory
works. Finally, and most rev-olutionary,
all vigorous sports fans
will be glad to hear that Miss Starr
is planning underwater sports for
the winter time.
Campus plans are by no means
complete. Every conceivable prob-lem
and situation needs to be con-sidered
to make the new campus
totally effective for training Chris-tian
young people for their vari-ous
professions. The architects and
faculty fully realize the need for
student suggestions and opinions
to reach the ideal they seek. "We
are open to any kind of student
suggestion," Dr. Wssel stated. This
conviction has already prompted
two Senate meetings, held on April
18, and April 25.
At the first session, Dr. Wessel
explained the plans and concepts
that were being considered. At the
second, Mr. Duane Grande of the
firm of Grande and Peacock, cam-pus
architects, listened to student
ideas presented by their represent-atives.
Dormitories, the library, stu-dy
areas and parking were discus-sed.
Of main concern however, was
the student center. Two conclu-sions
reached were: 1) the students
want a building entirely their own
with no administrative offices or
classrooms; and 2) the dining fa-cilities,
to be housed in the center
should be diversified in both decor
and food selection. Most felt that
the center should contain, among
other things, a bowling alley, a
barber and beauty shop, and plenty
of general recreation room.
The latter was also suggested for
the outside campus. "Around here,
we can't do anything because we'll
ruin the grass." One optimistic
student proposed a nine-hole golf
course. Dreamer!
The invitation for opinions is
open. Ron Harris and the various
committee members are awaiting
your suggestions. Got any ideas?
CONCERT
The Chamber Chorale, a small
group of interested choir mem-bers
under the direction of Dr.
Berglund, is giving a concert on
Monday, May 8th, at 8:00 P.M. in
the college auditorium.
This is a new group on campus,
having been started last year. The
group is an attempt to accomodate
to music not suitable for larger
choirs. Included in the choir's num-bers
will be Mozart's Missa Brevis
and a song cycle by Earl George
called the Songs of Innocence with
selected lyrics from the work of
William Blake, famed English poet.
Another part of the concert will
be a presentation by the Bethel
Chamber Orchestra under the di-rection
of Julius Whitinger, also
a relatively new campus musical
group.
The Chamber Chorale will be
providing the entertainment at the
upcoming Seminary Banquet where
Governor Levander is expected to
be the guest of honor.

The time has come to end the military draft.
That bold declaration will startle many. But when all the facts are
in, and all the current and projected needs for military manpower
have been taken into account, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that
America does not need the draft, America can afford not to have the
draft, and America is overdue in bringing to an end this drastic inva-sion
of the lives and liberties of her young men.
Congress is now beginning to debate President Johnson's legislation
to extend the draft another four years. In years past Congressional
examination of this issue was perfunctory. This year things are different.
Thanks no doubt to the heightened awareness of America's young
people, whose lives the draft so seriously affects, many in Congress
are now for the first time rethinking the premises upon which the
draft is supposedly based. An increasing number of them are finding
it sadly out of step with both our Nation's traditions and with its military
manpower needs.
We must never allow ourselves to forget that however pressing the
circumstances, the draft is involuntary servitude. It is legitimate and con-stitutional
when Congress, exercising its power to raise and support
armies, has no reasonable alternative. But conscription must always
be the last desperate resort for meeting military manpower needs, not
the cheap and easy expedient.
The only real argument for having an involuntary draft is that the
Nation could not reasonably afford to raise and retain the needed
military manpower without it. I maintain that the Nation can afford
to eliminate the draft. In doing so we will restore lost liberties. We can
end once and for all the inherent inequities of a compulsory system.
We can upgrade our armed forces and increase our national security.
And we can do it at a price this rich and powerful Nation can easily
afford.
There is no numerical shortage of manpower for filling military
ranks. Each year nearly four times as many men as the military needs
enter the draft age pool. With more realistic service qualifications and
sharply increased wages and fringe benefits, and with an enhanced
status for military careers, we can attract the 500,000 men we need each
year, even at Viet Nam buildup level.
All we have to do is to make up our minds that we are going to
stop exchanging precious liberties for false economy—false because,
when the total economic costs of the draft system are taken into account,
including civilian wages foregone by draftees, we may well be saving
nothing at all. And this calculation fails to take into account the
qualitative value of skilled career specialists serving in crucial military
positions now filled by reluctant draftees.
From the standpoint of individual liberty, equity to all, the enhance-ment
of national security, and the total economic costs, the draft fares
badly in comparison with an all-volunteer armed forces system.
How do we get from the present draft to the volunteer army?
First we must unequivocally reaffirm our commitment to the goal
of voluntary armed forces. The draft should be extended for one or at
the most two years. During that time the Defense Department should
embark on a program designed to make the draft increasingly unneces-sary.
A special joint committee of Congress—independent of the Defense
Department and the Selective Service System���should be set up to make
recommendations for a phasing out of the draft, and to maintain a
continual review of the Defense Department's progress toward that goal.
And military pay and fringe benefits should be raised substantially,
starting now.
It is time we made the firm decision to put an end to inequity,
put an end to uncertainty, put an end to inefficiency, and regain for our
young people the liberties the draft has taken from them.

T h e Bethel College linksmen
have participated in four matches
so far this year. The team, con-sisting
of Rick Peterson, Jim Spur-geon,
Dave Livingston, John Raske,
Cal Harfst, and Jerry Loomis, has
been victorious in two matches,
but has dropped the other two.
In their opening meet, the Royal
golfers faced Stout State and Con-cordia.
The individual scores were
closely bunched together, as the
low was 80 and the high was 86.
This was good enough to give Beth-el
a 10-8 victory over Stout and an
18-0 shutout over Concordia.
However, the tide has changed
in the last two meets. Our first
loss was to Hamline by a score of
9.5 - 7.5. The scores soared as the
Royal linksmen fell before the
cold and wind at Keller Golf
Course. On a better day, things
could have been a lot different. As
is was, the Royals almost pulled
it out.
The match with River Falls was
another story. The golfers from
Wisconsin put on a very fine ex-hibition
of golf. Their two best
men fired 72 and 75 respectively
on the Como Park course. The
final score was 11.5 - 3.5 in favor
of River Falls.

Last week's tennis action saw
the Royals splitting their three
meets and completing the month
of April with a record of two wins,
two losses, and a tie.
On Tuesday, April 25, Bethel met
Augsburg on the home court. Af-ter
four hours of action the team
groped off the courts with a
4-4 tie under their belts.
In singles action, both Bill
Peterson and Gary Hasselblad
won handily in two sets while
Tom Hulst battled to a 5-7, 7-5,
8-6 victory. In doubles, the team
of Bill Peterson-Craig Anderson
won 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, Tom Hulst-
John Turnquist lost 1-6, 1-6, and
John Tegenfeldt-Gary Hasselblad
were not allowed to complete
their match as darkness inter-fered.
After the 4-4 tie, Tom Hulst was
heard to remark, "We should have
beat those guys 'cause we were
better."

doubts about the revolution. "I
knew that the serene and sure
leader of my schoolboy days was,
in fact, a scared old man fighting

whole country down with him in
that fight."
It was then he decided to defect,

Wang says that the Red Guard
movement sometimes took on ab-surd
proportions, as when a gang
of youths broke into a freightyard
office and removed a portrait of
Mao because he was pointing —
with his right hand.
Another time some Red Guards
seized a coffin that a man had
set aside for his death, according
to Chinese custom. The youths ac-cused
the man of "wasting lum-ber."
Wang says that the Red Guard
movement "could set China back
for years, or even plunge the coun-try
into famine just as Mao's other
folly—the Great Leap Forward—
had done."—Readers Digest

Bethel baseball finally awakened from its lethargic slum-ber
last week. Aftes a series of inept efforts that would make
even student senate appear productive, the Royals finally dis-covered
the true meaning of offensive in the context of batting
prowess.
Prior to the past week's Concordia and Hamline outings,
Bethel's offense had shown less punch than an early morning
joke. Eskimoes have hit for better averages using icicles,
and Kalahari pygmies have generated more power with impala
horns.
When the Bethel boys finally started handling their bats
more like warclubs instead of grandma's heirlooms, results
were impressive. The Royals knocked 26 runs across the plate,
and notched two much needed victories.
Fielding is supposedly the Royal's strong suit. The team
is strong up the middle, and the infield is particularly well
supplied with accomplished fielders. The team, as a whole,
boasts some of the finest glovemen, from the neck down, that
you'll find in college ball. Mental boners and carelessness have
cost a couple of games in the early going.
Even with consistent hitting the team needs a "stopper" on
the pitching staff to become a topflight club. The mounds
corps has two or three adequate starters, but the staff has less
depth than a campus mud puddle. Wildness has been another
problem. Most of the hurlers have exhibited less control than
the Edgren RAs.
The outlook for the remainder of the season is questionable.
Without steady hitting the squad has less chance than a cup
of coffee at a Swedish housewarming. If the pitching folds,
they'll be wiped out faster than weiners at a Boy Scout picnic.
But chances are that enough of the "questionables" will come
through to help the fans forget the Royals' miserable start.

eighth inning to break a 4-4 deadlock and hand Bethel a season-ending
12-4 defeat.

The Bethel Baseball Team non-chalantly
extricated themselves
from their unexorable batter's
slump as they administered a pro-fuse
amount of offense to their
last two foes. Last Thursday they
came from behind to inflict defeat
upon Hamline 13-10. Trailing seven
to five coming into the top of the
fifth inning, Bethel garnered five
runs on three htis to make things
look a bit rosier. In the eighth
inning, another seven runs scamp-ered
across the plate. Hitless in
the first three innings, Bethel ac-cumulated
twelve in the remain-ing
six. Bob Nolin delivered a four
bagger for one of his two hits.
Tim Daniels continued swinging
the lumber with authority a n d
picked un three hits. Besides Nolin,
Muck, Cox, and Englund cracked
the Hamline Hurlers for two hits.
Bob Jackson started and was re-lieved
by Dan Gross who earned
the victory.
May Day was more like Ground
Hog Day in terms of the weather,
but, Bethel ground the Concordia
team with another 13 run attack
which was enough to make them
holler May Day. Despite 11 free
passes and four hit batsmen, Con-cordia
only pulled out of the game
with fivt runs. The big inning in
this game was the seventh. Spark-ed
by Tim Daniels' circuit, the
Royals crossed home plate eight
times. John Carmean was the win- ,
ning pitcher, aiding his cause with
a couple of hits. Terry Muck hoist-ed
his season's average to .421
with two more hits. The bright
spot of the game was the hitting
of Alarming Al Selander as he
raised his batting average almost
one hundred points—to .230 as he
stroked three hits.
Thursday, May 4, Bethel will be
entertained by Stout State. With
St. John's University won the sec-ond
annual Bethel Relays on a
windy Saturday afternoon at Ram-sey
High School. The team scores
were: St. John's 98, Bethel 87 1/2,
Hamline 86 1/2 , Gustavus Adolphus
78, Concordia 60, and Augsburg 21.
Near the half-way point of the
meet the Royals were in fifth place,
and appeared to be in trouble. As
the results from the field events
came in, however, the thinclads
overtook all but the Johnnies. In
the triple jump Jim Hammar and
Bill Malyon teamed to take first
place, and thrust the Royals ahead
of Hamline and Gustavus. Martin
Lundy of St. John's leaped 42 feet
2 inches to set a meet record,
but since team totals were used,
the Royals won this event. Earlier
Hammar and Malyon won the long
jump title. With the stiff wind,
which was so strong that pole vaul-the
momentum they have now gain-ed,
they should continue on a me-teoric
rise from their mediocre
status after the first eight games.
Comparisons have been made be-tween
Bethel and the Minnesota
Twins. They can be expected to
finish strong.
Fred Swedberg and Bob McDon-ald
took the javelin with com-bined
throws of 328 feet 7 1/2 inches.
Swedberg's throw of over 169 feet
broke the old record that McDon
ald had set at Carleton the week
before. Swedberg and Marvin John-son
finished fifth in the shot put,
and fourth in the discus.
The 880-yard relay team of Dave
Pound, Dave Moss, McDonald, and
Hammar, and the shuttle hurdle
relay team of Andy Lehman, Craig
Peterson, and Malyon were Bethel's
only second place finishers. Third
place finishes were recorded by
the mile relay, 440-yard relay, 2
mile relay, and sprint medley
teams. Jim Hammar also took third
in the 100-yard dash behind St.
John's Dave Lamm who ran a wind
assisted 9.5, and Ron Bergman was
third in the pole vault at 11 feet
6 inches.
Andy Lehman turned in a blis-tering
15.2 in the first heat of the
120-yard high hurdles, but in the
finals finished fourth. Rich Swan-son
came from behind in the two
mile to take Bethel's only other
fourth place.
The Bethel Relays was the team's
best performance of the year and
lifted their overall record to 5
wins and 8 losses.
