Munich Chamber Orchestra Brings
Baroque Mastery to Bethel Concert
The Munich Chamber Orchestra,
under the direction of Hans Stadl-mair,
will appear as the second
offering of the Bethel Concert Ser-ies
at 8:00 p.m., October 31 in the
Bethel College Fieldhouse.
The orchestra, currently on their
first North American tour, was
formed in 1950 under the direction
of Christoph Stepp.
Consisting of 15 strings, the
orchestra is supported by the
city of Munich as a permanent
organization to perform reper-toire
of the old masters through
the Baroque period. It also in-cludes
appropriate works from
the classical and modern periods.
Since 1956, the orchestra has
been under the direction of Hans
Stadlmair.
In addition to the yearly sub-scription
series in Munich, tours
have taken this unique group to
the concert halls and festivals not
only all over Europe but in Af-rica,
South America and Central
America as well.
These annual tours coupled with
the multitude of excellent record-ings
on the Deutches Grammaphon
Gesselschaft label have earned the
orchestra an enviable international
reputation.
The present director of the
orchestra, Hans Stadlmair, was
born in Austria and received his
musical training at the Vienna
Academy of Music as a com-position
student under Alfred
Uhl and as a conductor appren-tice
with Clemens Krauss.
He was violinist and violist with
both the Vienna Stattsoper and
Vienna Symphony while continu-ing
training as a conductor. In
1952 he obtained a conducting post
in Stuttgart and was invited in
1956 to become the conductor and
permanent music director of the
Munich Chamber Orchestra.
Maestro Stadlmair is also a com-poser
of reknown, receiving in 1962
the music prize of the City of
Linz, and in 1963 the prize of the
City of Stuttgart for his Violin
Concerto. Bethelites Host
Foreign Guests
The annual World Missions Fel-lowship
(WMF) International Din,
ner will be held Saturday evening,
October 29. President Miriam Man-silla
is heading the dinner which
will be held in the cafeteria.
Two hundred and fifty students
are expected. The diners will con-sist
of Bethel students and foreign
students from schools in the Twin
City area. Each Bethel student at-tending
has been assigned to host
a foreign student.
When he was assigned his for-eign
student, each Bethelite cal-led
and invited him to the din-ner.
The WMF committee is pro-viding
transportation for these
students.
It is hoped that throughout the
coming year more activities will
be held with these same foreign
students with the purpose of build-,
ing closer acquaintances with Beth-el
students.
Commenting on the dinner, a
committee member, Jan Young-quist
remarked, "The dinner is an
education for a Bethel student to
get to know a student from an-other
country."
Food for the banquet will con-sist
of choice dishes from twelve
different countries prepared by
a number of Bethel students.
The program will also include a
variety of entertainment stem-ing
from the cultural heritages
of a number of national groups.
The banquet is offered to Bethel
students at no charge. The bill is
footed by a special fund alloted
for the World Missions Fellowship.
The Bethel College Bookstore is
again offering a $50 grant-in-aid
to a worthy Bethel student in con-junction
with the sale of Campus
Pacs to freshman and transfer stu-dents.
The grant, awarded last year to
Carol Webb, is designed to provide
financial encouragement for a
needy freshman in his first year in
school who is not eligible for an
academic scholarship. It will apply
toward his second semester tuition.
The ten persons receiving the
largest number of nominating votes
will have their names submitted to
the Student Personnel Committee,
headed by Mr. James Jordan, for
final selection. It is to be noted
that a financial statement must
be submitted by these ten to this
The president of Bethel College
and Seminary and the dean of
Bethel Seminary are currently a-broad
attending a conference on
world evangelism. Dean Johnson
and President Lundquist left Chi-cago's
O'hare field on a chartered
non-stop flight for Berlin, Ger-many,
on Sunday evening, October
23. They are expected to return
to their respective offices around
November 15.
On Tuesday, October 25, Dr.
Lundquist and Dr. Johnson were
slated for consultations in East
Berlin with evangelical leaders be-hind
the Berlin Wall. It is report-ed
that they will wear flowers in
their lapels as a means of identi-fication
while crossing at Check
Point Charlie.
The delegates will gather for
the actual congress on Wednes-day,
October 26. Various news
organizations have reported that
a wide spectrum of Christian
thought will be represented at
the congress.
The Bishop of the Mar Thoma
church of India, thought to be the
committee before the final de-cision
is made.
Mr. Bob Bergerud, Bookstore
Manager, expressed the hope that
students would give thought to
their nominees, choosing persons
worthy of such a prize.
He also emphasized that in order
to purchase a Campus Pac students

The Campus Pacs contain an es-timated

Among the long list of distin-guished
delegates are Haile Sella-sie,

of the Ethiopian Orthodox church,
Billy Graham,- noted world evan-gelist,
and Oral Roberts, the faith
healer from Oklahoma.
The two Bethel leaders will
continue on to Moscow, Prague,
Zurich, and Paris holding con-sultations
with their counter-parts
in those countries.
Dr. Lundquist will be communi-cating
to the campus every day
via telephone. It is hoped that
these conversations can be record
ed and played back to the student
body during the chapel hour.
In a typed bulletin Dr. Lund-quist
stated before he left, "It is
our prayer that the trip will en-able
us to see more clearly Beth-el's
mission in the perspective of
the larger Christian witness to
our world and that we can
strengthen the contribution of our
school to Christ's cause."
Walfred Peterson, distinguished
alumnus of Bethel addressed the
students of the college in a Tues-day,
October 25 convocation. He
addressed himself to the topic of
current state-religious matters.
Dr. Peterson commenced with a
short review of Supreme Court
rulings upholding private rights of
religious liberty. He stated that
in no time in American history
have the citizens of this nation
enjoyed more religious freedom
than they are afforded today.
The concluding note of his ad-dress
was a discussion of the
Dirksen Prayer Amendment
which led to a general discussion
of the Supreme Court ruling on
Prayer and Bible reading in the
schools.
Speaking for the Baptist Joint
Committee on Public Affairs, of
which he is Director of Research,
he stated that a critical analysis
of the Dirksen Amendment must
necessarily be based on the am-biguous
semantic problem.
On this basis, Dr. Peterson stated
that his organization had no choice
but to oppose this piece of legis-lation
which was eventually de-feated
in the Senate.
The first amendment to the
constitution, Dr. Peterson said,
has and will be the bastion sup-porting
public claims to freedom
of relgious choice. Such legisla-tion
as the Dirksen Amendment
were unnecessary and confusing.
Dr. Peterson has been a Profes-sor
in Political Science on the
Bethel campus. He is currently
serving with the Baptist Joint Com-mittee
on Public Affairs, an organ,
ization primed to keep Baptists at
large knowledgeable about affairs
affecting them as a religious group.
It also serves as a lobbying organi-zation
intended to influence con-gressmen
in the interests of Bap-tist
organizations throughout the
nation.

heard of money being stolen
from locker rooms. This leaves
a "Christian" school like Bethel
in a pretty bad light.
Mr. Anderson was active in op-position
to a motion by Bob Olson
that Bethel join the ultra-leftist
National Students Association. Ev-en
when it became evident that
Bethel's Senators would be putting
the name of Bethel into this sewer
of people who generally take anti-
Vietnamese and pro-Red Chinese
positions, Mr. Anderson still re-fused
to vote for it.
It passed 7-0. Mr. Anderson did
not vote at all. To Bob Olson, Jim
Keim, Ron Stone, and Kathy Har-vie
go none of our thanks and all
of our disgust for their being fair-ly
active in favor of this motion.
It ought to put a feeling of shame
in all of us to see the name of our
school put into the muck in this
manner.
Mr. Anderson's other major ac-tion
of the evening was his mo-tion
that the Bethel College Stu-dent
Association be on record
as favoring giving physical ed-ucation
credit to varsity athletes.
Mr. Ha!leen indicated that the
Administration probably would
not think much of the idea. The
motion passed by an 8-1 vote.
The Senate will meet Tuesday,
November 1, at 7:00 instead of
Monday because of the concert.
Several non-Senators came to this
week and they contributed great-ly
to the discussion. This includ-ed
three who just lost in the
freshman primary.

Student As New Power'
Canada Becomes 'Haven of Release
For American Youth Escaping Draft
Molds University Actions
Bethel students just aren't average when compared to the
university student of our present generation. Let me explain.
Nevitt Sanford and Joseph Katz of the Institute for the Study
of Human Problems, Stanford University, writing in the Phi
Delta Kappan, national education magazine state:
"Students have arrived as a new power, a fourth estate
which is taking its place beside the traditional estates of fac-ulty,
administration and trustees. Students have become con-scious
of their power. They read the educational literature.
They quote the reformers and invite them to their campuses.
They take seminars on student life and university problems.
They know that reforms are possible and feel that the colleges
have been letting them down. Above all, they have experienced
success in making their presence felt and in extracting con-cessions."
That really doesn't epitomize Mr. Bethel Student 1966.
Should the same authors examine the typical Bethel situa-tion
they just may conclude with the paraphrazed analysis
that follows: "Bethel students today remain relatively power-less
in molding ultimate policy for their institution, taking
their traditional estate far behind the estates of faculty, ad-ministration
and board of education. They are rather satiated
in their complacency, quite unconscious, by virtue of choice,
of any potential power they might possibly wield. They read
Time, Life, Look, Newsweek, Mad, and the daily paper. They
quote no one, under the guise of fearing the tab "pseudo-intellectual."
"Likewise, they dissect the opinions of that same no one
by inviting him to their campus. They take seminars on Cam-pus
Crusade and How to Lead a Bible Study, but are generally
unconcerned about administrative and academic problems. They
exhibit little concern about reform, except in areas where their
social or recreational life might be extended—e.g. extension
of girls' dorm hours. The Bethel student has experienced great
success in making his presence known (after all he does attend
football games), but rather minute success in making his pres-ence
felt. Oh, yes, he has also had a measure of success in
extracting concessions. After all, the students do sell pop and
popcorn at basketball games."
Alright, so who is to blame? We sight two general causes.
First, the greatest measure of responsibility must be borne by
the students themselves. They have just not cared to sharpen
their analytic powers concerning the complexity of the college
with a knowledge of relevant facts of power, faculty concerns,
curricular arrangements, etc. Call it apathy. Many have. The
students, then, have not wanted to be reckoned as a "new
power, a fourth estate."
The second cause stems from the general principle of
the administration acting "in loco parentis"—mothering the
student through the "turbulent" college years, protecting
him, deciding in a large measure for him. With this attitude,
the student has not been regarded as either mature enough
or responsible enough to make decisions. Should he want
the opportunity, his opinion or decision would carry rela-tively
insignificant merit.
Bethel stands now at a significant juncture in history. With
administration and student body cooperating it is possible for
our college generation to remain in step with the current trend.
To do so, however, students must be willing to actively pre-pare
themselves to become working partners in the educative
process. The college should also overhaul its decision-making
process so students could see the effects of their thoughts and
recommendations much sooner.
Sanford and Katz concluded their report with the summary
that the present challenge to the colleges is "a tribute to the
past educational efforts of the parents and schools that have
produced the current crop of articulate, sensitive, and enter-prising
college students. The present situation in the colleges
can have all the excitement of social pioneering and may allow
us to start a new chapter in the history of education." Let us
allow Bethel to be recorded in that chapter .
Senate Observer
by Leonard Sammons
The Bethel College Student Sen-ate
ended its longest meeting of
the year with both positive and
negative accomplishments.
Dave Anderson, the Senator-of-the-
Week, asked why Bethel's ad-,
ministration consistently refuses to
call in police when students steal
things —e.g. the theft of two post-ers
during the Homecoming play.
Mr. Anderson's suggestion imme-diately
led to the discussion of an
honor system. A motion was pas-sed
which established a committee
of two to report soon with three
proposed honor systems.
But the fact is haunting that
Bethel should have theft prob-lems.
Mr. Anderson said that in
the year he spent at the Uni-versity
of Nebraska he had never

(First of a two-part series)
TORONTO—This month 49,200 men will be in-ducted
into the U.S. armed forces. Expatriate Bob
Thomas will not be among them.
It's not that Bob isn't eligible—he's been 1-A for
the past five months. Rather, he has left his native
Indiana to live here in Canada where U.S. draft laws
do not apply.
Bob (not his real name) is one of a growing num-ber
of Americans emigrating to Canada to escape
the draft. An estimated 2,000 U.S. citizens have
moved to Canada in the past two years for the
same reason. About 400 to 500 have settled in this
modern Ontario provincial capital of nearly 2 mil-lion.
Bob, a soft-spoken 22-year-old, introduces himself
as "your friendly neighborhood draft dodger" to pre-serve
anonymity.
A cum laude English graduate of a top Ivy League
school last June, he returned home to find 1-A greet-ings
from his local draft board.
Bob had no intention of following in the foot-steps
of his 18-year-old brother who joined the Air
Force in April. ("My brother and I gave up dis-cussi9p
Viet Nam, it's useless.")
He carefully weighed the alternative methods of
avoiding the draft. To begin with, Bob is not a paci-fist
or conscientious objector. "Besides," he explains,
"I wouldn't take C.O. status because it's demeaning.
I have no intention of cooperating with the military
system in any way."
The other route was jail—up to five years and
$10,000 for failing to report for induction. "But that
wouldn't do anyone any good. And I see no reason
to make a martyr of myself."
So he decided the only way out was North. He
told his father who was dismayed and his mother
who "cried a lot." When he arrived here in June,
Tom Hyde of the Student Union for Peace Action,
a Canadian affiliate of Students for a Democratic
Society, found him a place to stay. To qualify for
landed immigrant status and legally remain in
Canada he took a job at the University of Toronto
library.
Bob finds Canada "far more relaxed and less hys-terical"
than the U.S. Canada has no draft.
"Any government that tried to start the draft again
would get thrown out of office," explains Tony Hyde.
He says his fellow employes unanimously support
his reasons for moving to Canada. In his spare

time he reads, writes poetry, does watercolors, and
generally leads a tranquil existence.
.Except for the fact that he can never return to
the United States again (where he would face that
$10,000 fine and five years in jail) his life is free of
restrictions. A long-standing pact between the U.S.
and Canadian governments prohibits his extradition.
"From up here," says Bob, "America really looks
like it's going nuts." In fact he goes so far as to
claim that the United States is "on its way to a
collective nervous breakdown."
An armchair analyst, he gives half a dozen
reasons for projecting a national crackup. "For
one thing, the right-wing militaristic mentality that
got us into Viet Nam is going to take control of
the country. Sheer race hatred will result in con-stant
premeditated violence between the races
within three years.
Viet Nam is going to get worse, and in three or
four years we will be doing the same thing someplace
else — there are four or five major candidates.
Inflation will rock the economic structure.
"The psychedelic thing has already won. As
Timothy Leary says, too many people have already
tried it and liked it. And the gap between the gen-erations
will widen. The old people won't be able
to understand our generation at all."
Bob articulates his dire prophecy with a great
deal of pride and was somewhat miffed to riscover
that Newsweek reduced it all to one sentence in
a recent article on draft dodgers. "That reporrter
just didn't understand. The Newsweek guy kept
asking me if I would have fought in World War II.
I probably would have but it's a totally irrelevant
question. I'm not concerned about history. I'm just
against the Amercain role in Viet Nam."
Bob has high hopes of organizing his fellow Ameri-cans.
He is currently starting an expatriate news-letter.
But there may be some difficulty writing
editorials, for the draft dodgers are far from a like-minded
lot.
According to Tony Hyde, "Bob is not a typical
draft dodger. In fact, I don't think there is any such
thing. We're finding a lot of political types but for
many people, coming up here is their first political
act. We even had a right-wing type from Arizona
come up recently. He was sort of a Jeffersonian-type
Democrat who didn't want to fight in Viet Nam. His
parents even agreed."
Indeed Bob and his draft-dodging friends dis-agree
strongly on some matters. For example, one
argument flared in a discussion between Bob and
fellow expatriate Allan, a political science doctoral
candidate at the University of Toronto.
"If I were North Vietnamese, I
wouldn't fight for Ho Chi Minh,"
said Allan. "I don't think he is a
lot better than General Ky. The
whole war is a meaningless cause
on both sides."
But Bob disagrees. "I think if
I was in North Viet Nam I might
join up. Ho is far superior to Ky."
Still, Bob contends that his de-cision
to move to Canada was
not political.
"Personal freedom is the reason
I came up here. I want to have the
right to say no to people. I've
got better things to do than bq
used like a robot-like killer dog in
the Army. No one has the right to
tell me to go drop napalm on
people. I want the right to run my
own life."

Fellowcitizens ..
There is one matter that casts its ugly shadow over our lives, over
everything we do. This is the criminal, brutal U.S. imperialist aggression
against the people of Vietnam. This is the most vicious, savage, uncivil-ized
assault on a small nation in all the annals of human history.
The savagery of Hitler Germany, transporting its victims to the
crematoria, shocked the conscience of civilized man. But now the United
States is operating hundreds of flying crematoria, delivering the de-vouring
seas of flame that engulf villages, towns and the countryside.
Its victims in the first place are women and children.
When before in all the history of human brutalities has any nation
ever set out to destroy by fire and by massive, indiscriminate use of
chemicals everything that grows, every living sprout, every living ani-mal?
Unless this is stopped, Vietnam will be as barren as the surface
of Hitler Germany's contribution, so "depopulation," "defoliation," "sat-uration
bombing," "napalm," are words, concepts and deeds the United
States is contributing to civilization.
If it is possible to compound a crime of such vileness and such
magnitude, then it is compounded by the sickening demagogy, the de-praved
hypocricy of Johnson, McNamara, Rusk and Goldberg. This is
moral degeneracy with no bottom. It is demagogy unsurpassed in history.
On one day last week, while 300,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam sup-ported
by hundreds of warships were raining death on the Vietnamese
people, while U.S. planes were burning villages in South Vietnam and
bombing cities in North Vietnam, while U.S. forces were rushing to
finish new military airfields in Thailand, and while Buddhist monks
who refused to support the miserable puppet Ky were being harrassed
and arrested—while all this was taking place under the orders of John-son
as Commander-in-Chief, on that same day McNamara announced
new troop shipments to Vietnam, Johnson spoke about our great love
for peace and independence, Rusk declared that the nations of the world
had better get on with working for peace, and Goldberg spoke again
of how the U.N. is not doing its part in bringing peace in Vietnam.
This is the dead end to all intellectual honesty���that such depraved
insanity, such gross hypocricy is presented as policy.
This is imperialist aggression . . . On the home front this criminal
aggression creates a backlash like that of a tidal wave. It is eroding and
eating away the lives, resources and moral values of our society.
The war on poverty, the announced attack on slumism, hot school
lunches, housing, school construction, urban renewal are already slip-ping
into the churning waters brought on by the policy of aggression.
They remain empty platitudes in the speeches of Lyndon B. Johnson
and Hubert Humphrey.
The mind of every American must absorb these facts. The con-science
of our people must be aroused by them. We cannot rest until
the last piece of U.S. military equipment, the last warship, the last
plane, the last unit of military personnel has been removed from the
soil of Vietnam. We cannot rest until the people of Vietnam have the
full right to determine their own affairs.
United, aroused, determined, we can put an end to this crime, this
mass murder. We cannot rest until we do.

the 18th National Convention, Communist Party, U.S.A., delivered by

Explains Present Research Position
by John Sailhamer
Once again the intellectual ma-chinery
in the Bethel community
has been greased by the candorous
wit of Dr. Walfred Peterson, twelve
year veteran of the campus class-room.

vocabulary to slice fuzzy issues
into smooth doses, he administer-,

medicine in fine style dur-ing
this week's convocation, and
few found it hard to swallow. The
pervasive mood was unanimously
felt as "welcome back."
Since leaving his position in
Bethel's History-Political Science
Department at the close of the
spring semester 1965, Dr. Peter-son
has been involved in exten-sive
background research for the
Baptist Joint Committee on Pub-lic
Affairs, which is a political
brain and mouthpiece for the ov-er
one million Baptists it repre-sents.
It was through his services, for
example, that the Committee was

him in close study of the
Judicial Review, both before and
after the senatorial hearings, and

When asked about the effects
of his work on over-all decision
making in Washington, Dr. Peter-son

that immediate results in a
complex political situation such as
Washington were virtually impos4
sible to detect.
However, he continued to point
out that this is common to all
such pressure groups and the
non-materialization of immediate
results was by no means an indi-cation
of a failure to be heard.
As for the opportunities avail-able
for aspiring christian students
in this area of legislative research,
Dr. Peterson expressed hopeful
predictions. "Religious group's lob-bies
are growing." Not only are
they growing in number but also
in sophistication. The situation is
good enough for a fifth place
finish, while Steve grabbed sixth.
Not far behind them in the pack
were three more Bethel men. Dave
Moulton covered the course in
20:45 to take eighth, Rich Swanson
at 21:12 finished tenth, and Steve
Roe came in eleventh with a time
of 21:18.
Concordia had both the first and
second place finishers, but des-pite
this achievement, their over-all
total of 44 points was four
more than the victorious Royal&
Wrolstad and Neugebauer were the
two standouts for Concordia as the
former took first with a time of
19:12 and the latter finished sec-ond
with a time of 19:30.
Hamline racked up 58 points
in taking third place. They had
two men in the top ten with
such as to require "experts instead
of preachers" to quench the need,
Although he has not completely
ruled out the possibility of re-turning
to the educational society,
Dr. Peterson sees no change of sta-tus
in his forseeable future. He
finds both teaching and research
to be equally challenging and
would, quite frankly, prefer "either
job."
Dr. Peterson believes that in
the church-state dicotomy there
are problems which arise and
require effort toward solution.
In a hierarchial arrangement of
these problems as they relate to
Baptist, he feels strongly that
the use of political power for re-ligious
purposes is of paramount
importance, e.g., the Dirksen
Amendment.
Government support of educa-tional
improvement programs and
the use of the church as a possi-ble
channel through which pover-ty
could be combated were also
cited by him as requiring much
time in present research.
Carlson taking fourth at 20:05
and Aufderheide taking seventh
at 20:17.
Jim Skoog was the lone bright
spot for the Gusties as he covered
the 3.8 miles in 20:01 for third
place. The team itself finished
with 74 points.
With two straight victories un-der
their belts, the Royals will be
seeking to extend their skein to
three next Saturday against St.
Paul Bible College.

Thanks to some "Royal" defen-sive
play and a 76 yard touchdown
scamper by Dave "Who's number
22?" Pound, Bethel successfully
"A-Lionated-the-Trojans" of North-western
of Wisconsin. The Home-coming
victory evened the Royals'
record at 3-3 before a cold but
spirited crowd.
The stage for victory was pos-sibly
set in the initial five minutes
of the game. Bethel received the
opening kickoff, but fullback Lee
Pearson fumbled (after a fine gain)
on the second play from scrim-mage.
Four plays and two first downs
later, the Trojans were knocking
on the scoring door from Beth-el's
ten yard line. However, the
Royals' defensive unit then
tightened. Fullback Verlyn Dob-berstein
cracked the line for
only a yard, and subsequently
three Ray Kobleske passes fell
incomplete.
Following the take-over o n
downs, Behel moved out to the 27
Royal Defenders struggle in vain to prevent Northwestern half-back
Marty Schwartz from plunging into the end zone to tally six of
Northwestern's seven points. Bethel won the Homecoming contest 13-7.
yard line where it was forced to
punt. Steady Fred Swedberg boom-ed
a 54 hard punt to Northwes-tern's
19 yard line. Again the
Royals held and forced a Trojan
punt — a punt which traveled
only seven yards to Northwestern's
40 yard line.
On the first play of the series,
T-end Orlyn Lundborg gathered
in a 22 yard pass from Bill Eng-lund.
In three plays Bethel moved
only five yards to the 13, but on
a clutch play Englund hit Co-
Captain John Carmean for 13
yards and six points. Larry Peter-son
kicked for the seventh point.
Northwestern took the ensuing
kickoff and marched upfield 80
yards to knot the score at 7-7.
The key play in the drive was a
30 yard pass to six feet seven
inch Fred Zimmerman. Marty
Schwartz eventually banged over
for the touchdown, while Dennis
Halvorsen kicked for the PAT.
Whereas the remainder of tho
first half provided no serious,
scoring threats, the third quarter
was quite different. On the third
play from scrimmage, shifty fresh-man
Dave Pound took the pitchout
from Englund and outran the Tro-jan
defenders 76 yards to paydirt.
Pound, incidentally, has been
out for most of the season with a
broken bone in his arm. The try
for PAT failed, but the six points
were enough to bring the Royals
victory.
The remainder of the second
half settled down to a scoreless
duel (a 33 yard pass-run score
from Englund to Larry Peterson
was nullified because of a penalty.)
Bethel, who outgained Northwes-tern
275 to 216 total yardage, faces
Mayville State here next week.

One of the main faults of most sport fans revolves on their
ability to criticize without offering solutions. Just about anyone
can pick out faults, but it takes real insight to suggest answers
to these problems.
Since this is true, I would like to forward several sugges-tions
in regard to how Bethel football can become better, more
exciting, and draw larger, more spirited crowds. Here are the
steps the Administration and Athletic Department should take
immediately to achieve these ends:
1. Have all backfield men wear tear -away jerseys.
2. Have all fans look at the flag while the National An-them
is played.
3. Recruit a soccer player who could kick 45 yard field
goals consistently.
4. Buy two real lions for mascots.
5. Don't feed them on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturday
mornings the week of a game.
6. Chain them to the goal posts in the end zone Bethel
happens to be defending (give them about 30 yards
of chain).
7. Schedule more "name" teams for fan appeal.
8. Join the MIAC.
9. Have Sophia Loren take tickets at the gate.
10. Have Doug King and Bill Ledkins give a running com-mentary
on the action during each game.
11. Give football scholarships.
12. Have a girl's football game as halftime entertainment
each home game.
13. Get the St. Paul taxpayers to build a collapsable dome
over Midway stadium.
14. Establish a scholarship fund by maintaining a pool on
professional and college football games.
15. Fill all residences on campus with ammonia 30 minutes
before game time and have eight buses headed for the
game waiting outside.
Other suggestions could also be made, but these would
perhaps represent too sharp a break from traditional practice
to make sharing them at this time feasible.
