Bruce Mulligan, co-chairman of Homecoming Committee, hands Karen Nelson, 1969-70 Queen the traditional Homecoming Proclamation at the Coronation ceremonies Thursday evening. the CLARION Riggswilllecture for UN Day Mon. Plans for interim this year are continually receiving more distinct articulation. Course descriptions have been compiled and the interim committee and members of the administration are attempting to clarify what may seem to be a rather complex financial aspect. The cost of participating in the interim program this January de-depends upon how you are regis-tered for the year. There will be no extra charge if you are en-rolled for both semesters. If you are enrolled neither semester, par-ticipation in a 3-credit course costs $120-$140 per credit; room and board fees are $67.50, or $22.50 per week. If you are enrolled for one semester of the academic year, tuition and room and board are half-rate; $60 and $33.75, respec-tively. If you are not registered in in-terim, application for housing must be submitted to the Dean of Stu-dents, Webster C. Muck. The ap-plications will be approved only if the student is working full-time. The room and board fees in this case, are $67.50. Following are brief descriptions of the interim courses: INTERIM TERM COMMITTEE REPORT Course Descriptions Curricular Changes in American Higher Education: a study of cur-rent trends in college curricular programs. The historical social backgrounds of curriculum devel-opment together with the contem-porary challenge to learning will be reviewed. What place does lib- You may have noticed—or signed —a petition other than the one printed in the Clarion two weeks ago. The second petition that made the rounds on Bethel's campus was not, according to Rolland Shearer, one of its authors, meant to be a counter action. In spite of the opinions of many members of the Bethel Communi-ty, the petition was intended to be purely positive. Dr. Arthur Lewis, professor of Christianity, and a number of other Bethel students realized the need for a eral arts study have in today's technological world? Are curricu-lum- calendar innovations — tri-semester, 4-1-4 para-colleges—aids to modern education? What are the educational effects of small group specialized seminars for freshmen? Prerequisites: none Credits may be used as elective credits only. Seeing, Knowing, and Believing: a study of perception from the art-ists' point of view that will de-velop the theme that vision is more than eyes. It is perceptual and conceptual; it is retinal as well as mental; it is personal as well as social. Vision is seeing, knowing, and believing — and such a theme will be developed through the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture. The course will develop around the theme that art is a history of vision, with a major emphasis on Modern Art as the vision of our time. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an Art major but it is not a substitute for Art 101. Enrollment limit: 70 Printmaking: an introduction to relief printing including studio work in collage, linoleum, woodcut, cardboard, and color printing on single and multiple blocks. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an Art major. Ecology and Man: designed to stimulate interest in and a con-cern for the place that man has day like the Moratorium, but were dissatisfied with the overtones which were anti-government. The students felt the fact that the gov-ernment is withdrawing t r o o p s should be recognized. According to Shearer, the stu-dents realize that there is a lot more to be accomplished, but due to the fact that there has been some de-escalation, the Moratori-um day should not have had an anti-administration emphasis. The day could have been spent in pray-in his environment. Special em-phasis upon the human popula-tion, growth and food problems, irradiation and human evolution, air and water pollution, and pre-servation of man's environment. Prerequisites: none Credits may be used as elective credits only. Spectroscopy: an introduction to the spectroscopic techniques, inter-pretation, and instrumentation in the areas of nuclear magnetic re-sonance, infrared, ultra-violet/vis-ible, mass spectroscopy and some X-ray analysis. The course will show the basic unity of the vari-ous methods and show how they are best utilized in the study of chemical structures and chemical reactions. An adequate knowledge of spectroscopy is basic to the education of a chemist. Prerequisites: Chem 211 Credits may be applied to a Chemistry major. Chemical Research: an introduc-tion to chemical research. The course involves the study of a chemical system heretofore unstud-ied which requires a literature search, a program of attack, and execution of the study. This would involve synthesis of compounds, and physical and chemical studies of these compounds. A report is required written in chemical jour-nal form. This course may be a continuation of work begun dur-ing the previous semester. Prerequisites: Consent of the chemistry faculty. Credits may be applied to a cont'd on page 4 er to a much better advantage, said Shearer. The petition which was signed by 130 students and faculty stated: "In support of the use of October 15th as a day for prayerful reflection and open discussion of the war in Vietnam, we affirm our confide ,-Ice in the U.S. government's expressed intention and active work to es-tablish a peaceful settlement of the war at the Paris Conference Table and to effect the withdrawal of our troops by the end of 1970." by Toni Magnuson Beginning with the movie "The Hidden Crisis" on the Congo Thurs-day morning, Bethel students par-ticipated in the first phase of their observance and support of World-wide United Nations Day. October 24 was officially made UN Day with a resolution passed two years after the organization legally came into existence on Oc-tober 24, 1945. It is a day which "shall be devoted to making known to the people of the world the aims and achievement of the United Na-tions and to gain their support for the work of the United Nations." At Bethel specifically, the main purpose of the day shall be world orientation and familiarizing the students with the work of the UN. Due to conflicts in homecoming activities, the main emphasis will take place on Monday, Oct. 27 rather than the official day. Robert E. Riggs, Associate Pro-fessor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota will be the guest lecturer at 3:00 in the Sem-inary Hall Chapel. Having written the text Forging World Order and other works pertaining to inter-national and United States affairs, Professor Riggs is considered an expert on UN organizations and shall speak on the UN's role in today's world. This Student Senate sponsored activity is open to everyone and Senate members urge all students to participate. A question and an-swer time will follow, giving any-one interested a chance to discuss with Professor Riggs the UN's ac-tions and possibly discover if this "Ideal" can really work. The Student Senate took on the UN Day project with primary pur-pose of "world-orienting" Bethel students and showing them the true significance and role of this world organization. Various Senate members have found that students aren't really aware of the UN's functions and see it merely as something which won't work. A typical response from a Bethel student when asked his opinion on the UN was, "I plead ignorance on the subject . . . but from what I know, I see it as a fairly inefficient organiza-tion." "We want to show that the UN is more than people think it is." said senior Tom Mesaros, a history and political science major and coordinator of UN Day activities. "Too many are judging it without any background, or are merely looking at it on the big power level instead of seeing its significance as a whole." Why is it necessary for us to be informed about the United Na-tions? One student expressed that "we should be seeking to become informed on anything we can. And as Christians, it is up to us to be-come involved in learning about other people. How else can you expect to help them if you aren't aware of their needs and problems first?" "We should be interested enough as students to take one day—or even just one hour to become world-oriented," said Tom Mesaros. "None of us will ever learn any-thing without first making the ef-fort to try to learn something." U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nation's sees youth's role as a very important one. "The young generation of today will soon inherit the United Nations as a legacy embodying the fondest hopes of the generation that pre-ceded them. They should recognize that the United Nations represents all the principles and ideals young people are striving for and that it is their best opportunity to realize them. Their goal should be a world where the whole of mankind can go forward with an understanding, a skill and a generosity which will vastly enrich the quality and dig-nity of their lives."

To the editor: Following the Vietnam Moratori-um an article appeared in the Min-neapolis Star telling of two New Jersey High School students who committed suicide because "too many people were treating the Moratorium as just a lark." How many of us are ever both-ered by the fact that there are "Christians" all around us treating Jesus Christ as just a lark? Toni Magnuson Soviet students try moratorium Dear editor: I know you will be interested in this news item I picked up while travelling in Europe this summer: _ MOSCOW: It is now known that on April 7th of this year a Moratorium on Czechoslovakia was declared by the Soviet As-sociation of Students (SAS) to protest the presence of the Rus-sian army in the Free State of Czechoslovakia. Four univer-sity students participated in the ceremonies. All four are now in Siberia completing their studies.

"You would be amazed at the number of students who hear of Bethel for the first time as a result of the tours by the various musical performance groups". This was the statement made in the last Dean's Staff meeting by James Bragg, head of Financial Aids, Admissions and Recruitment. "We have an unusually loyal Constituency,' Bragg again. "Last year we recruited a freshman class of 330 with a recruiter who started working in February. Down Snelling a few miles Macalester enrolled a record froshmen class of 430 with the aid of six recruiters and substantial financial endorsement." Obviously, the music department through our constituency must be doing Bethel college quite a service. Or are they? Are they repre-senting to the constituents, alumni, and particularly the prospective students what Bethel is really all about? The Clarion has had several complaints this semester concerning the question of whether the paper is representing the true Bethel image. "Do you really believe that most of the students on this campus agree with the policies upheld by Chuck Myrbo?" The question came from Julius Whittinger, head of the music department, on the second day of my editorship. I was instructed that it was my responsibility as an editor to both represent and guide the students on this campus. My reply to the question was that if he believed the Clarion did not accurately represent the views of the majority of students on campus that he find some who endorsed the views he throught more closely represent Bethel College, and I would be happy to give them a voice. I waited. Almost a month went by. No students of the type described by Whittinger appeared. About a month later, Dean Virgil Olsen approached me in the coffee shop one afternoon to comment that he had attended a meeting of the music faculty recently and that there had been complaint of the coverage in the Clarion. Olson thought it might be a good idea to suggest to Julius Whittinger that if he was dissatisfied, he might try finding someone who could give him the coverage he desired. A few more weeks went by and the Clarion news editor, for various reasons, decided to drop her newly acquired music major and return to political science. This process required an interview with Dr. Robert Berglund who, coincidentally, wanted to interview her. The conversation focused basically around Berglund's choice of topic which included the quality of the Clarion and its roll on Bethel's campus. Berglund expressed the opinion that "the Clarion had been of rather poor quality in recent years and that it had not appropriately reflected the temper or quality of a Christian college." When presented with the fact that the Clarion has received All American ratings for the past year and one half, he shrugged, saying that any paper with as many typographical errors as the Clarion was high school caliber. He also mentioned that Chuck Myrbo was not qualified to be fine arts editor since he did not have the appropriate cultural perspective. It was his conviction that Myrbo emphasized "pop music" too strongly and was not upgrading the low cultural level of the Bethel community. The conversation closed with the mutual agreement that the Clarion would initiate a fine arts section covering art, drama, theater, films, pop, and classical music. Berglund promised to contact music students who would and could write reviews of both pop and classical concerts for the Clarion. The Clarion office has, to say the least, not been overwhelmed by music students with concert reviews. The student newspaper is not the only area of communications with which Berglund has been in contact. Not long ago, WBCS was offered asistance in obtaining additional finances—about 20 times what they now receive—if they would begin playing more classical music. Along with the offer came the warning that if they did not comply, the station would not be on the air long. According to Mark Kingsbeck, head of WBCS, Berglund promised to send some of his music students down to help with programming. They waited and waited as long as time would permit and finally went ahead on their own and haven't seen a music student yet. It is not the purpose of this editorial to personally attack any one member of the music department, but to question the public image which Bethel is putting forth. It must be evident that due to the lack of response on the part of students in the music department that either the music faculty are grossly misjudging the areas in which student interests lie, or that students in the music department are among those timid bookish parasites on campus against which this editor has been haranguing all semester. If the former alternative is the case, it is really quite dishonest of the college to continue presenting the public with a distorted image of the Bethel commuinty. After all, Bethel consists largely of students rather than faculty. The institution supposedly exists for and of the students, therefore in order to present a true picture of what Bethel is, the public image should present the students in their true light. If the later is the case, heaven help us! We are sending the dead weight of the campus to publically represent us. In an interview with James Bragg earlier this semester, he expressed concern over the question of whether Bethel is being accurately rep-resented to prospective students. This was one of the reasons he gave for the consolidation of Recruitment, Admissions, and Financial Aids. Intregration would present the opportunity for follow-up to discover whether Bethel was what students had expected. It seems evident that if the major portion of public contact is made through the music department, the public is not receiving an accurate image of "where Bethel is at." If our constituency and alumni are as loyal as circumstances seem to suggest, are we not being unfair in showing them a distorted image. We have nothing of which to be ashamed—unless it be the dead weight described previously. Should we not exercise our trust? If the public is to receive a true picture of Bethel students, either the music department should update itself in student affairs, or the community should begin utilizing in public relations its other fertile resources such as art, drama, athletics, student communications and government. THE POLICY OF VIETNAMIZATION The Nixon Administration took office last January with a full under-standing of its major task — to disengage the United States from the war in Vietnam. Now, ten full months later, Vietnamizing the war has become our foreign policy. The problem for Mr. Nixon is complex. First, he must gain enough of the people's confidence to pursue a policy that remains shrouded in secrecy. Then, he must effectively judge the level of enemy activity in order to direct the removal of American forces. Finally, he must find a route to peace in Southeast Asia that will not cause a backlash of public opinion aimed at his administration. The program to Vietnamize the war is two-fold. The first portion is the removal of our combat forces from the war zone. The second portion is the rebuilding of the South Vietnamese army so that they are capable of carrying the burden of combat. It is clear that the President's policy will attempt to prevent a Communist victory after our withdrawal. The speed of our withdrawal is conditioned by both the level of Communist activity and the fighting ability of the South Vietnamese. The present lack of intensive fighting is not as good an indicator as might be, though. Many members of the Administration fear that this is a part of Hanoi's strategy; a low level of combat will speed American withdrawal, leaving the ARVN at the hands of fresh VC forces. Mindful of what might happen, Mr. Nixon has decided to keep his plan for withdrawal both flexible and secret. Within this frame of reference, it may be possible to understand the President's comments regarding the Vietnam Moratorium. To forgive them is a different matter; surely they will be used against him many times. The program to strengthen the ARVN will probably take two or three years. It will also involve the giving of advanced weaponry to the South. The goal of this effort would be to give Saigon an adequate war machine with which to hold off the Viet Cong. Though few realize it, the policy of Vietnamization would not bring a total end to our military presence in Vietnam. Some 250,000 troops, about one-half of our present troop level would remain for a period of a few years. These would not be fighting men; they would be the supply troops that presently keep our war effort going. The South Vienamese have never had an adequate system for the supply and support of its fighting units. We assumed that role in the middle sixties. A major portion of the program to build up the ARVN would be directed towards this area, but until the South Vietnamese can replace them, American logistical forces will have to remain. In the meantime, the American government works for a peace settlement in Paris. But since we are not in a position to dictate terms,, emphasis has been shifted from the peace table to the policy of Vietnam-ization. From the perspective of the White House, the war will continue after we disengage; its outcome will largely depend upon the way we disengage. To Mr. Nixon, the best way to disengage is to build a South Vietnamese military machine that can fight the war without our direct military participation. Given the proper combination of factors — Hanoi's behavior, the mood of the American people, the ability of the ARVN, and finally, time — it could prove to be a feasible answer to the problem. But there are alternatives to the President's policy, and next week we will begin an examination of three of them. After his speech, concluding Bethel's homecoming activities Sat-urday night, Dr. Ramm will meet for an informal session with par-ents in the Bodien Dormitory lounge. This year's Homecoming speaker, Dr. Ramm, is a well-known theo-logian in orthodox Christian cir-cles. Lindig Midway Florist 1875 Larpenteur Avenue W. ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55113 Tel : 646-1972 Corsages Cut Roses Floral Arrangements Karen Nelson chosen Homecoming Queen Dr. Ramm, noted theologian, will speak by Kathy Quick Dr. Bernard Ramm, Bethel's homecoming speaker, is, in the opinion of one Bethel student, one of the five or six most brilliant men in orthodox Christian circles. With a broad background of train-ing and experience in theology, Dr. Ramm is well qualified to speak on the dehumanization of man. Since his strong point is modern contemporary theology, Dr. Ramm's homecoming presentation on "A Christian View of Man in an Age of Despersonalization" should be quite relevant to the modern world. His presentation Sat. night at 7:30 in Bethel's fieldhouse is his only one in the Twin Cities, so the pub-lic is urged to attend along with Bethel students and faculty. Dr. Ramm's return to Bethel for our 1969 Homecoming will truly be a homecoming for him. He form-erly served as a Professor of Theol-ogy at the Bethel Seminary. After leaving Bethel he assumed a posi-tion as Profesor of Religion and Director of Graduate Studies at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Dr. Ramm is presently serving as Professor of Systematic Theol-ogy and Christian Apologetics at California Baptist Theological Sem-inary in Covina, California. Among his literary achievements, Dr. Ramm has written ten books concerning various aspects of Christian Apologetics, Hernemeu-tics, and theology, and an analysis of the Christian college in the twentieth century. He is consulting editor for the well known Christian magazines Eternity, Christianity Today, and the Watchman-Examiner. Dr. Ramm has published articles in several dictionaries of theology, the World Book Encyclopedia, and essays in Revelation and the Bible and Basic Christian Doctrines. Friday, October 24, 1969 the CLARION page 3 Last night, at semi-formal ceremonies in the fieldhouse, junior Karen Anne Nelson was crowned 1969-70 Homecoming Queen. The affair was the highlight of the evening following the drama production of the "Adding Machine." Karen Nelson came to Bethel as a freshman to "find out what Christ-ian education was like. I didn't know much about Bethel, and had only visited here one day when I came." When Karen was asked to evaluate Bethel now that she is in her third year here, she commented that students can find freedom at Bethel. According to Karen, many students are "uptight" but are only stifled because of "self". They could get out of their rut if they wanted to. "They are still relying too much on other people and other people's values." Bethel offers many opportunities to get off campus, she continued. You don't have to be put in a box if you don't want to. Then she added "I love the professors because they are really concerned." Karen is an elmentary education major who has a particular interest in special education, such as work with the mentally retarded or children who need speech therapy. When asked about life in general and her goals, Karen said, "I'd like to live to the fullest and be the best person I can through Christ's help. I want to be a worthwhile person both in my profession and as a wife and mother." To Karen, the purpose of Homecoming is primarily a social affair and for alumni. "I wonder why it couldn't be more a week of questioning." "Homecoming gets a lot of support, but not necessarily support that is concerned." It's more a "big, wild, noncommittal support." Kids go to homecoming because everyone goes. Karen hopes while alumni are on campus this year, that they will realize athletic scholarships are necessary if Bethel is going to be able to offer an education that ministers to the whole person. "It is important that we can hold our heads up with non-Christian schools and show that Christians aren't "namby-pamby." As far as being queen, Karen said she feels that there is a respon-sibility to represent Bethel, "and in a small way a Christian campus. But the biggest honor for me," she said, "was being chosen as a homecoming candidate by my class." Karen Nelson, junior, was crowned Homecoming Queen Thursday night. Homecoming Pep Fest features Skydiving Show To send both fans and football team off to the game in "high" spirits, the homecoming committee has arranged for an exhibition by three members of the Twin Eagle Skydiving School. Jim Marshall, member of the Minnesota Vikings football team and also a diver, will be present as master of ceremon-ies. The three sky divers will have orange smoke flares attached to their hands and feet and will jump from a height of 12,500 feet free-falling a rate of 200 miles per hour before their shutes open at about 2500 feet 21/2 - 3 minutes be-fore they land in Lake Valentine. The divers' maneuvers will be ex-plained on the ground by Jim Mar-shall. The Twin Eagles Skydiving school, which claims over 800 mem-bers, is the only such school in Minnesota. The three members par-ticipating in the exhibition on Sat-urday are Don Wander, a biology teacher from North High School, Jim Zehner, who is training as a commercial pilot for North Cent-ral Airlines, and Lan Wells, head instructor and director of the school. An interview with Director Wells revealed there is a lot more to sky-diving than jumping out of a plane. It is almost a philosophy on life. According to Wells, skydiving re-veals a person's individual char-acter. There is always a fear of jumping. A skydiver never over- Is it a bird, a plane? No, it's a member of the skydiving team from the Twin Eagle Skydiving School. comes it. In beginners it is a fear of the unknown. In pros it turns to apprehension as they gain a realization of all the possibilities of what could go wrong. Wells said that his motivation for skydiving came from the satisfac-tion that he gains in overcoming his own fear. He also likes to ob-serve people's reactions to the jumps. Wells calls the jump a "soul-cleansing experience." "You really become aware of what faith is," he said. "You learn your personal weaknesses and become aware of how insignificant you really are. You learn to face the possibility of death." Wallendorf chosen alumnus of year Selected to receive the fifth alumnus of the year award is Paul E. Wallendorf, who graduated from the Bethel Academy in 1925 and in 1968 assumed the title treasurer of General Electric. He and his wife will be guests of the alumni council for Homecoming activities Satur-day. According to John Carlson, alum-ni director, Paul Wallendorf "is the first member of the business community to be selected since this award was established by the Council in 1965." After graduating from Bethel, Wallendorf went on to receive a business degree from Northwestern University in 1931. He became a certified public accountant and joined General Electric. In May of 1968 he assumed the responsibili-ties of domestic and international financing for that corporation. Wallendorf is a member of the President's Associates, a group composed of professional and man-agement people who form an ad-visory council to Dr. Carl Lund-quist and the Board of Education. Wallendorf and his wife are re-sponsible for the Barbara Wallen-dorf Memorial Scholarsrip estab-lished in memory of a daughter. His father, Rev. Gustaf E. Wal-lendorf, served Conference church-es throughout the country in Mich-igan, Illinois, Connecticut, Kansas, Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin during this lifetime. His sister, Mrs. T. L. Hartsell, taught at Bethel Academy in the 1920's. Wallendorf and his wife now re-side in New Canaan, Connecticut. Paul E. Wallendorf, treasurer of General Electric, was chosen 1969- 70 alumnus of year. What comes down hopefully comes back up again. Find out for yourself at the Pep Fest tomorrow morning. page 4 the CLARION Friday, October 24, 1969 Apartment life is 'great!' by Sherie Lindvall Deep wine curtains, knee high tables, huge floor pillows, oriental silk screens and the faint aroma of sandlewood in the air. An opium den? Guess again. It's one of the apartments housing Bethel bach-elors this year. Nearly half of Bethel's men are finding housekeeping among their learning experiences as they em-bark on the "apartment life." Due to a lack of available housing on campus, academics and athletics are being teamed with cooking and cleaning. After one month of dinners, dishes and the chores of house-keeping the reports from our men off-campus are good. A 21 year old senior commented about apart-ment living: "It's great! We really have a riot and we can have some-one in whenever we want and love the privacy. Come on over and take a look!" (I did stop in for a minute but have no fear, I'm a Bethel girl.) The cost of living off-campus is about the same as room and board costs at Bethel. Apartments are available from $130 to $160 a month and food expenses range from $5 to $7 a week per resident. Senior Gary McCann reported: "We really eat pretty well; yesterday we had pork roast, yams, and blue-berry pie for dessert." In a number of apartment situa-tions, the household tasks are per-formed jointly to avoid unneces-sary tensions and give everyone a chance at the "gourmet routine". All the students visited and in-terviewed had a very positive opin-ion concerning the independent apartment life. "It's a good place to start to get along on your own, especially for students who are close to graduation." Parents, administrators and peers who seriously doubted the capa-bilities of college men living in-dependently and away from cam-pus can relax; several participants in the off-campus experiment chor-us: "all is well!" Skeptics will also appreciate this last note. Gary McCann, Carl Carlson and Denny Whitlock, occupants of a "fascinat-ing pad," have decided to share their fortune and every Sunday night invite 'several dorm men over for dinner so they might get acquainted with on-campus men. Gary McCann (center) and roommates dine on one of their "home cooked" meals. Editor's note: The following editorial is a response provoked by an article printed in the monthly Bethel College Music Journal put out by students in the Music Department and reprinted here. In light of the fact that we as Christians are continually searching for ways to make our faith more relevant, the article and the response touch upon an issue vital to this community and therefore find their place in the CLARION. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Col. 3:16) One of the alarming signs of the times is the invasion by the world and the popular music field into the realm of religious and sacred music. Recording companies have begun to "package" devotional songs ��� adapting them to the swing-beat and syncopation of the bar-room. One "big time" producer claims that secularizing sacred music is "the greatest groove since rock and roll." As a result of this type of recording business, Gospel music is now being sung in night clubs, taverns, and dance halls across the land. All of this is a symptom of deterioration — of the breakdown between the sacred and the secular. Nothing stirs up my righteous anger like hearing some clowning enter-tainer swing Gospel songs and even Scriptural choruses. Even more serious than the use of Gospel music by the world, however, is THE GROWING EVIL OF USING WORLDLY MUSIC IN OUR EVANGELICAL CIRCLES! Gospel music is designed to teach the gospel. The jazzing of sacred music by Gospel comedians is nauseating and regrettable. Why don't we stick to the "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" of Ephesians 5:19? If the music in our churches has no real message in it, why sing it? We cannot stop the world from using and debauching Gospel music; but we can stop the world's music from being used in Christian churches. THOT: Instead of the church being a saving salt in the world, the world has become a corrupting leaven in the church! M.R.D. Dear M.R.D., whoever you are, Isaiah 12:5 "Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously, let this be known in all the earth." What is "worldly" music? What is "sacred" music? What is "the church", "the world"? It usually helps to define or understand what something is before you declare it "good" or "evil". Of course, we want to base our definitions or understandings of concepts on what Christ and the Bible says, being Jesus-people. The church, according to Scriptural definition, is the body of believers in Christ. This body of believers does not exclusively exist in the physical structure of a church building. Indeed, given the ante-dated and deteriorated state of the institutional church today, I would tend to believe that there are more Jesus-people outside of the institu-tionalized church than in it. The world. "Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you."- Rms. 3:13. From this verse, I would infer that the "world" and the "church" — body of believers in Christ — are two antithetical and diametrically opposed entities. However, if we look at the situation today, the "church" and the "world" are not antithetical, but integrated. The physical, institutional church fosters and promotes (either implicity or explicity) the values (materialism, self-rigtheousness, hypocrisy, bigotry, intolerance, etc.) which help keep the rest of the establishment (political, social, economic, power-structure) running. This is because the institutional church of today has perverted the values and ideals expressed by Jesus Christ, his followers, and the early church; which were love, humility, peace, brotherhood, economic communism, etc. Now to the music part of this essay. As Dr. Berglund said in a Clarion letter to the editor last fall, "Notes are notes". Quite true. There are no sacred or secular notes, no good or evil notes. The value of notes is derived from the way in which they are asso-ciated and the way we perceive and associate them with ideas and/or other notes. Music exists on a critical, intellectual level due to the com-poser's patterning of particular notes, or style. It also exists on a cul-tural, emotional, subjective level due to the perceivers experiences, asso-ciations, emotions, and personality. Thus, "sacred" and "secular" music are not absolute forms but are relative classifications of works of art starting from the same material, notes. Hymns of the early church were sung to "folk" melodies. There is a strong possibility that these melodies were incorporated into the "sacred" Roman Catholic liturgical chants. (See Grout, A History of Western Music, p. 7.) In medieval times, and during the Renaissance and later periods, the line between "sacred" and "secular" was extremely thin. Motets freely intermingled vernacular and Latin, "sacred" and "secular" themes and lyrics. Luther adapted some of his great hymns from German folk songs. "0 Sacred Head Now Wounded" was originally a love song. So, why do some people get "uptight" when they hear lyrics about Jesus with folk, rock, and/or pop melodies? It certainly isn't "sinful." We have seen that 1.) notes are notes 2.) the mixing of "sacred" and "secular" music is not a phenomena peculiar to this decade. Using current music, art, and communications forms to present Christ and his message is definitely a good thing; not a "growing evil." The current generation of kids — and some members of the older generation — simply will not listen to "traditional church music." They find the current musical forms more involving, meaningful, and aesthe-tically pleasing than the forms that the institutional church is currently using. Although this fact may be anathema to traditional church musi-cians, it is none-the-less a fact. Does this mean we should educate the current generation "up to our level," make sure we develop "appropriate" philosophies of music edu-cation? No. The level we are dealing with when discussing the matter of using "secular" music in the church or "secular" music to "evangel-ize" is the cultural, emotional, psychological level. At this level anyone's judgement is equally as valid as our own — regardless of age, race, sex, or degree. To gain an audience, you must communicate with people in their language. You cannot tell a Frenchman how you feel about Jesus when he cannot understand English and you cannot speak French. You cannot tell a "hippie" how you feel about Jesus when he does not understand the phrases you use, the meanings of the words you use ((i.e. "saved", "new birth", "sin", "redemption") or the style of music you use. You cannot fulfill the Great Commission (Go ye into all the world . . .) if you cannot understand the language or music of the "hippie"; or, thinking you understand it, you refuse to deal with it because "hippies" are our own American "heathens" and you might become "tainted" by trying to communicate with them. You are killing musical creativity in the church by sticking to the old, established, traditional forms of music and excluding any other forms. Music becomes ritual instead of a creative, stimulating, dynamic experience. When was the last time you thought about the meaning of the words you were singing instead of just going through the ritual of singing a hymn? Think of the hymn, "0 Happy Day." When my home church sings it, they sound, look, and feel like they're half dead — not very happy at all. Now recall the year-old platter, "0 Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkin Singers. It is really a joyous, spiritual rendition — with a beat. If you disagree or don't understand what I am saying, I am open to two-way communication. I am not open to one-way didactic harangu-ing. So, if you think truth can arise through rational debate, come and talk to me, M.R.D., whoever you are. But if you think you have the corner on truth, forget it. Love in Christ, Marjorie M. Rusche Interim plans from page 1 Chemistry major. Study Trip to Israel: flying sem-inar of Holy Land. Biblical sites, excavations, etc. will be visited in order to throw light upon Biblical events. It is hoped that the tour will better enable the student to understand the arena into which God chose to send His servants and His Son. (The credits for up-per division require a 5,000 word paper.) Prerequisites: Reading a text be-fore we leave on archeology and one on Biblical history and geo-graphy. Credits may be applied to a Christianity major or to the Christ-ianity general arts requirement. Schools in the Inner City: study of the sociological problems in in-ner city schools. Work as a teach-er's aid with inner city children. Prerequisites: Limiting to stu-dents who are, or have been, in leadership roles in the schools (e.g. Introduction to Education assign-ments). Credits may be applied as elec-tive credits only. Black Literature in U.S.: this course will center attention on the impressive body of literature about the racial agony of America writ-ten by those who had to live it. "Black is beautiful." Readings will be selected poetry and three or four novels. All students will work on a project. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an English major. Intensive Study of an Author, Period, Genre or Work: the course will acquaint the student with the tools of literary research—bibli-ographies, indexes, journals, and other standard reference mater-ials. The student will have oppor-tunity to work in the Bethel Col-lege library and other Twin City area libraries. He will then choose a topic for intensive investigation and will prepare an annotated bib-liography. English majors can use the course for major credit by participating in English Majors' Conference. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an English major. French Culture: to involve the student in French culture—art, music, historic traditions, politics, science, literature, daily life by means of lectures by visiting pro-fesors, film and slide presentations, student panel discusions, visits to art museums, restaurants, social cont'd on page 5 Pop goes the music "Christ, you know it ain't easy" (Uncut rebirth , • , Nystedt worK organized confusion by Chuck Myrbo On the third (and far from the largest) planet in a small solar system in a minor galaxie nowhere near the center of the universe, there is intelligent life. As far as we know, there is no life anywhere e: se. We believe that a God big enough to con-, tain the universe put that life on this planet and called the highest form of that life "man." He created billions of stars and saved man for the sixth day. David asked that God: "When I look at Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou has established; what is man that Thou art mindful of him?" It seems to me ultimately crucial that God, faced with the possibility of creating an entire universe from absolutely noth-ing, chose as the culmination of that creation man; that God, with an infinite number of possibilities before Him and no pat-ern at all to guide Him, gave His most complex creature that particular set of qualities which we call "being human." So there must be something extremely valuable about being human, something we should celebrate, something we should make every attempt to perfect. The faults which separate us from angels are far less important than the virtues which sep-arate us from, say, rocking chairs. But what does it mean to "be human?" What makes the experience worthwhile? What is there about human beings which makes them the focus of God's universe? From here on: an attempt to define 'the human." First part of the attempt: when we moved to Platteville, Wisconsin, just before my senior year in high school I met a girl who would be, before she graduated, homecoming queen, prom queen, girls' state representative, honor student, star in the class play, and everyone's favorite baby sitter. I soon came closer to loving her than I had come to loving anyone else, but it wasn't her glory that brought me tumbling. One night at play practice the director got on her back about something, and kept it up until she ran off the stage crying. Right then, for the first time, I felt really close to her. Just when she was embarrassed to have anyone see her, I saw her as beautiful. And something about the way weakness func-tioned at that moment has a great deal to do with "being human." `Exit the King' and 'Misanthrope' perform in Northrop Auditorium "Always room for one more" Garnet's Standard Service Complete Service for Your Car Friendly Courteous Conscientious Men Waiting to Serve You Larpenteur St. and Snelling Paul NH 4-2027 Hey man, what's during interim? from page 4 events with people of French back-ground.

Credits may be applied to Math major. Understandings of Man: a study of the nature of man from the viewpoints of Huxley, Buber, Teil-hard, Marx, Freud, Kierkegaard, and Reinhold Neibuhr through primary reading and class discus-sion. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to Phil-osophy major or to the Christian-ity general arts requirement. Psychology of Sports: this course will be a seminar-research type by Marjorie M. Rusche As a part of their centennial celebration, Augsburg College host-ed a concert at Northrup Auditor-ium last Sunday, presenting the Augsburg Choir in concert with the Minneapolis Orchestra and three featured soloists. The first part of the program was fairly traditional, consisting of a Brahms overture, Academic Fes-tival, and Grieg's Concerto in A Minor for Piano and Orchestra. Brahms described his own work as a "very boisterous potpourri of student songs." Br a h m's craftsmanship in integrating four different themes turned "potpour-ri" into a unified work with a con-tinuous melodic line. The virtuosity of the Minneapolis Orchestra drew out the emotional warmth and har-monic richness of the piece. Grieg's Concerto, a frequently performed concert piece, featured pianist James Johnson, a member of the Augsburg music faculty. The concerto is almost a sophisti-cated Norwegian folk dance. Many musical moods, centered around relatively short rhythmic patterns, color the concerto. The orchestra did their part beautifully. The pianist did every-thing technically correct; though his interpretation w a s rather straight. The orchestra and pianist could have been synchronized bet-course involving the following types of topics: (1) How do you motivate people to new heights of athletic achievement? (2) Why is our culture so sports conscious? (3) What psychological factors are involved in learning and teaching athletic skills? (4) How do men and women differ in their interests and attitudes toward sports as par-ticipants and as spectators? Prerequisites: none Credits may be used as elective credits only. Physics Lab Project: the proto-type of the Bethel version of the Malmstadt-Enke Test Equipment. A week-end trip to Argonne Na-tional Laboratories will feature the operation and application of a com-mercially designed M-E test set-up. Prerequisites: Physics 241 or per-mission of the instructor. Credits may be applied to a Phy-sics major. Sensitivity and the Christian: a discussion and laboratory in the method of sensitivity training as it relates to the Christian life. Sensitivity training is designed to help one gain facility in expressing personal feelings and in being re-ceptive to the emotional needs of others. Prerequisites: General Psychol-ogy 151, take M.M.P.I. test (apply to Paul Mauger). Credits may be applied to the Behavioral Science: Psychology general arts requirement. Christian Faith and History: a consideration of writings of the re-lationship of Christian faith and history and attempts that have been made to develop a Christian theology or philosophy of history. Students will read such books as Herbert Butterfield's Christianity and History, Buttrick's Christ in History. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied toward a history major. Encounter with Social Problems: tours and visits will provide first ter. At times there seemed to be a race going on to see who would get to the end of the phrase first. The pianist usually won. By far the most novel experi-ence of the concert was the pre-sentation of Knut Nystedt's Lucis Creator Optime, the world pre-miere of his cantata which was spe-cially commissioned for Augsburg's Centennial Celebration. Lucis blended contemporary and medieval sounds to give ef-fects ranging from integrated, pul-sating disharmony to melodic con-fusion. The varying effects were created through use of antiphonal orches-tration (the brasses and percussion were split into either side of the stage which gave a staccato echo effect), aleatoric technique (the strings start on a chord and then glissando upward or downward so you feel like you're being stretched upward and pulled downward with the tension), dissonances in both voice and orchestration, and point-illistic technique (starting with a note and having voices or instru-ments layer on it, like a chime ef-fect). The choir sang a straight-tone Gregorian chant style, sounding like ghosts of medieval saints mourning over the martyred. The text of the piece was an old vesper hymn at-tributed to Gregory hand contact with forces causing social problems within our society today. Opportunities for discussion of these forces will be provided following the tours. Prerequisites: Sociology 152 pre-ferred. Credits may be applied to Soci-ology major or anthropology. Social Science Research: an in-dependent library research project stressing both the subject as well as finding possible sources. The approach will be very flexible as to topic and manner of research. A student may elect to research any area of interest and use the in-structor and the library as a ref-erence source. Prerequisites: Open to social science majors and others by per-mission of instructor. Credits may be applied to a Soc-ial Science major. Creative Dramatics with Chil-dren: principles and methods of developing original dramatizations with children. Primary emphasis on story dramatization. Observa-tions of children's classes in crea-tive dramatics. Readings, projects, class discussions. Intended primari-ly for elementary education majors, recreation students, pre-social work students. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to Speech a major. Rhetoric of Racial Revolt: his-torical and contemporary black is-sues will be discussed using black rhetoric as the source material. Through discussions and lectures an attempt will be made to arrive at an objective evaluation of the rhetoric of men like Stokeley Car-michael, H. Rap Brown, Eldridge Cleaver, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and other contemporary black rhetoric-ians. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to Speech a major. Nystedt's whole work is a com-mentary on our times as it reflects the current juxtaposition of ortho-dox and contemporary themes and styles which are struggling with each other today. The orthodox and contemporary themes and styles that were in conflict through-out Nystedt's cantata were never resolved. It was an interesting and chaotic musical effort. Perhaps Ny-stedt subconciously tried, and fail-ed, to ape Penderecki. The juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary forms of music were enjoyable. The integration of the two styles has exciting musical possibilities if the styles are in-tegrated, and not merely played or sung simultaneously. The extraneous personnel on the stage were less impressive than was intended. (Augsburg choir members on risers, the Minneapolis Orches-tra, an unhinged grand piano, a celeste, two soloists on the main stage, and a pipe organ in the pit.) Clean it up, clear it out. You don't really need all those bodies for an impressive work of art. It all became slightly ludicrous. Particularly considering the fact Augsburg paid a pretty penny for an imported Norwegian baritone whose performance consisted of a five minute composite total of ran-dom, unpatterned, unintelligible vocalizing. Friday, October 24, 1969 Two dissimilar plays, Ionesco's "Exit the King," and Moliere's "The Misanthrope," mark the re-turn of professional living theatre to Northrop Auditorium on Mon-day, November 3 and Tuesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. The decision to present the two plays at Northrop, according to Ross Smith, Director of Concerts and Lectures, was made, "Because there are once in a while oppor-tunities to present good touring companies that would not other-wise be seen by Twin City Audi-ences. APA is one of these." "Exit the King," a product of playwright Eugene Ionesco's mind, presents an aging monarch faced with the prospect of imminent death. His two wives, one young and the oth6r old, compete for his the CLARION page 5 attention hoping to get him to ac-cept one of their variant views as to the manner in which he should face death. Ionesco carefully avoids cloaking the external trappings of the play with places, names and historical chronology that will give the audi-ence a chance to ignore personal identification with the problem. He displays his skill in accomp-lishing this and even injecting a type of humor that does not de-tract from the central theme. "The Misanthrope," Moliere's acknowledged masterpiece, h a s been performed at The Comedie Francaise about 1,500 times since 1690. The witty spectacle of people who display the utmost decorum while cutting each other into rib-bons has been an unfailing delight to audiences all over the world. You can't keep a good man down. Royals kick the ball against Lakehead. Canadian soccer team from Lakehead outlasts a scrappy Bethel squad The soccer team from Lakehead of Canada had a very successful road trip to the Twin Cities. They defeated Hamline by a 4-0 score on Friday afternoon and added another shutout Saturday morning by beating the Bethel squal 2-0. It looked like the possibility of a zip-zip score. The first 45 minute half closed without a goal and it wasn't until thirty minutes of the second half that Lakehead scored. The left wing passed the ball to the center who manged to get a solid kick off while the ball was still in the air. Finding its way into the top right hand corner, Royal goalie Jon Nordstrom had no chance of reaching the ball. Lakehead's second tally came on-ly three minutes later after a corner kick. The Bethel defense couldn't clear it and the Canadian right inner slammed in a shot from ten yards out. Though the game was played on an even basis most of the time, the Lakehead team worked very well together in their passing game. The Bethel game plan counteracted their potential for scoring with a different defensive alignment. The Royals played with only four for-wards, the usual three halfbacks, and the not so usual three full backs. The halfback line had to operate as the supporting line for both the offense and defense. The system worked most of the game for defense, but left the offense too weak to mount enough pres-sure to score. The Royals put out a strong effort and were not really out of the game until the very end. The Canadian school, a public institu-tion, came with experience both as individuals and as a team. The soccer team's Homecoming Day game should prove to be a real challenge as they take on the University of Minnesota. The inter-national students have their own teams, so our opponents are most likely all American. However, they are very likely to be a good club. Good first half was not enough; Royals lose 2220 EDGERTON STREET ST. PAUL. MINN 55117 Ct iAaT HtwiAy 3t6 eltILLMCL J. Leonard Carroll, Pastor C. Bruce Anderson, Asst. Pastor BUS LEAVES EACH SUNDAY: 9:25 A.M. and 6:40 P.M. The Column by Tim Weko Because Falcon leads the intramural football league, some of their members have been urging me to give them the recognition that their 6-0 win-loss record seems to merit. Well, to be sure, they have won more games than any other team; it's just that they haven't been the most consistent team except for the fact that they win consistently which is the only thing that counts ultimately. But Falcon has been involved in at least three sudden death Lost overtime games with other teams. I guess what I'm trying to say is 0 that there are a number of very good teams in the intramural league this year, any number of which could conceivably beat the leaders, but since Falcon seems to be able to win the close ones they remain the team to beat. * * * * Intramural bowling has gotten off to a rolling start with quite a few boys showing up for the weekly Tuesday night bowler derby. In fact, First Floor and New Dorm had so many people present that they had to divide into two teams each. Bowling is something that everyone can do, whether athletically inclined or not. So next Tuesday why not go knock a few pins down for the good of your team? * * * * Basketball practice has started for the freshmen this week even though the gym is full of drama equipment and choir members getting their pictures taken. Monday, the first day of practice, was also the day that the choir got a group picture taken. Basketball practice was halted early to clear the floor for the choir, although a couple players were shooting baskets at the opposite end of the court. Not being qualified to judge a musicians motives, I can only speculate why Dr. Robert 'Berglund, the head of the choir, stopped these fellows from shooting: either he was afraid the eyes of the choir members would go up and down during the pictures, or he was making a soundtrack at the same time the pictures were being taken. * * While attending the fantastic performance of the Everyman Players as they presented "The Book of Job" last Friday evening, it suddenly dawned on me that Job, unlike his friends and family, was not a fair-weather fan. Last Saturday afternoon eigl-A Bethel boys went to Como Park to play touch football with a team from St. Paul Bible School. St. Paul Bible showed up with twenty-four players and even some spectators. It was rumored that they had been practicing together everyday for a month just to beat Bethel. (Maybe it was their homecoming game.) Anyhow, they wanted to play two 45 minute halves; a move which was interpreted as a way to tire Bethel players since there were only eight of them. St. Paul Bible seems to have lost to this unorganized group of students from Bethel by the close score of 12-7. This editor extends his sympathy to the team from St. Paul Bible and hopes that they will challenge Bethel again sometime — after they practice a little longer.

Huron won its first victory of the season 55-27. The Royal gridders scored 27 points in the first half, more than the total number they had scored in their five previous games, but a second half letdown cost them the victory. On the second play from scrim-mage, Dave Pound grabbed a Mur-ray Sitte pass and raced 78 yards to the four yard line. One play later, Barry Anderson rammed into the end zone from the two for the first score. Pound and Sitte also scored first quarter touch-downs as Bethel took a 21-14 lead. Bethel's field hockey team is still chasing victory and those hot fudge sundaes. In a game against the Universtity of Wisconsin at River Falls the Bethel women lost 4-0. That looks bad, but actually the defense did a supurb job. It could have been much worse. The River Falls team had previously beaten St. Catherines 10-0. Jean Westwater, goalie, did a good job, keeping out the majority of the shots. Last Thursday in freezing, snowy weather the Bethel women played Carleton College at Northfield. Carleton has always boasted a good team and the game was a real bat- In the second period, Cal Harfst booted field goals of 25 yards and 28 yards, matching a Huron touch-down and conversion failure, and giving the Royals a 27-20 halftime lead. The second half was all Huron. Scoring 15 points in the third quar-ter and 20 in the fourth they made the final tally 55-27. Except for a few mistakes, the victory could easily have been Bethel's. Three pass interceptions in Royal territory gave Huron op-portunities which they capitalized upon. The Royals had more first downs than Huron, 16 against 13, but Huron held a slight advantage in total yardage, 403 to Bethel's 367. tle with neither side scoring. The first half belonged to Bethel, play was offensive, and there were se-veral scoring threats. The second half was all Carleton and it was to the defensive team's credit that no goals were scored. Bob Olsen headed the rushing attack with 94 yards in 16 carries. Pound and Anderson led in pass yardage with 7 for 139 and 4 for 53 respectively. Dan Brown and Jeff Knighton gave fine perform-ances on kick returns, and the defensive effort was led by Perry Johnson, Larry Van Epps, Greg Ekbom, and Dennis Sjogren. In tomorrow's homecoming con-test the Royals challenge North-western of Iowa. Northwestern, currently on top of their confer-ence, has an offense which runs and passes well, and a defense which is particularly strong against a running game. Bethel will have to put two good halves together in order to win. Mrs. Wilson, the team's coach, feels that Bethel has a good chance to pull off a victory in their two remaining games. Monday the team plays St. Catherine's again a n d Tuesday Bethel faces the Univer-isty of Minnesota. Last Saturday, the Royal cross country team took twelvth place out of thirteen possible at the St. Cloud Invitational Cross Country meet. Held at the St. Cloud Country Club, the meet brought together some of the finest teams in the Midwest. Bethel usually tries to attend a couple of these meets to give the runners a chance to par-ticipate _against outstanding com-petition and to try to improve upon personal performances. St. John's, which is rated as having a very good chance to win the National Cross Country Meet later this year, took first place fol-lowed by South Dakota State, St. Cloud, Augsburg, and Macalester. Other teams that participated are as follows in their respective order of placement in the meet: Bemidji State, Moorhead, St. Thomas, Southwest State, Golden Valley, Duluth, Bethel, and Gustavus Adol-phus. This afternoon at 4:00, the Royals host Winona in the homecoming cross country meet. The Warriors from Winona are a strong team with four exceptionally good run-ners. They will provide tough corn-petition. However, the Royals have been training long and hard for this one, and say they won't come back empty-handed. Although as a team the Royals were not very impressive at St. Cloud, they did have a couple of personal time improvements. Dwight Carlson ran the four mile distance in 22:05, his best ever, and Mark Anderson covered the course in 22:25, also his best. Paul Youngquist ran his typically good race in 23:04. Rich Swanson, who is usually a top contender in most of the meets, was sick and unable to make the meet. Had he been able to be there the team standing might have improved a little. Coach Glader stated that the meet gave the boys a chance to prove themselves against opponents which were "simply out of Bethel's class".

Plans for interim this year are continually receiving more distinct articulation. Course descriptions have been compiled and the interim committee and members of the administration are attempting to clarify what may seem to be a rather complex financial aspect. The cost of participating in the interim program this January de-depends upon how you are regis-tered for the year. There will be no extra charge if you are en-rolled for both semesters. If you are enrolled neither semester, par-ticipation in a 3-credit course costs $120-$140 per credit; room and board fees are $67.50, or $22.50 per week. If you are enrolled for one semester of the academic year, tuition and room and board are half-rate; $60 and $33.75, respec-tively. If you are not registered in in-terim, application for housing must be submitted to the Dean of Stu-dents, Webster C. Muck. The ap-plications will be approved only if the student is working full-time. The room and board fees in this case, are $67.50. Following are brief descriptions of the interim courses: INTERIM TERM COMMITTEE REPORT Course Descriptions Curricular Changes in American Higher Education: a study of cur-rent trends in college curricular programs. The historical social backgrounds of curriculum devel-opment together with the contem-porary challenge to learning will be reviewed.

The second petition that made the rounds on Bethel's campus was not, according to Rolland Shearer, one of its authors, meant to be a counter action. In spite of the opinions of many members of the Bethel Communi-ty, the petition was intended to be purely positive. Dr. Arthur Lewis, professor of Christianity, and a number of other Bethel students realized the need for a eral arts study have in today's technological world? Are curricu-lum- calendar innovations — tri-semester, 4-1-4 para-colleges—aids to modern education? What are the educational effects of small group specialized seminars for freshmen?

Seeing, Knowing, and Believing: a study of perception from the art-ists' point of view that will de-velop the theme that vision is more than eyes. It is perceptual and conceptual; it is retinal as well as mental; it is personal as well as social. Vision is seeing, knowing, and believing — and such a theme will be developed through the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture. The course will develop around the theme that art is a history of vision, with a major emphasis on Modern Art as the vision of our time. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an Art major but it is not a substitute for Art 101. Enrollment limit: 70 Printmaking: an introduction to relief printing including studio work in collage, linoleum, woodcut, cardboard, and color printing on single and multiple blocks. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an Art major. Ecology and Man: designed to stimulate interest in and a con-cern for the place that man has day like the Moratorium, but were dissatisfied with the overtones which were anti-government. The students felt the fact that the gov-ernment is withdrawing t r o o p s should be recognized. According to Shearer, the stu-dents realize that there is a lot more to be accomplished, but due to the fact that there has been some de-escalation, the Moratori-um day should not have had an anti-administration emphasis. The day could have been spent in pray-in his environment. Special em-phasis upon the human popula-tion, growth and food problems, irradiation and human evolution, air and water pollution, and pre-servation of man's environment. Prerequisites: none Credits may be used as elective credits only. Spectroscopy: an introduction to the spectroscopic techniques, inter-pretation, and instrumentation in the areas of nuclear magnetic re-sonance, infrared, ultra-violet/vis-ible, mass spectroscopy and some X-ray analysis. The course will show the basic unity of the vari-ous methods and show how they are best utilized in the study of chemical structures and chemical reactions. An adequate knowledge of spectroscopy is basic to the education of a chemist. Prerequisites: Chem 211 Credits may be applied to a Chemistry major. Chemical Research: an introduc-tion to chemical research. The course involves the study of a chemical system heretofore unstud-ied which requires a literature search, a program of attack, and execution of the study. This would involve synthesis of compounds, and physical and chemical studies of these compounds. A report is required written in chemical jour-nal form. This course may be a continuation of work begun dur-ing the previous semester. Prerequisites: Consent of the chemistry faculty. Credits may be applied to a cont'd on page 4 er to a much better advantage, said Shearer. The petition which was signed by 130 students and faculty stated: "In support of the use of October 15th as a day for prayerful reflection and open discussion of the war in Vietnam, we affirm our confide ,-Ice in the U.S. government's expressed intention and active work to es-tablish a peaceful settlement of the war at the Paris Conference Table and to effect the withdrawal of our troops by the end of 1970." by Toni Magnuson Beginning with the movie "The Hidden Crisis" on the Congo Thurs-day morning, Bethel students par-ticipated in the first phase of their observance and support of World-wide United Nations Day. October 24 was officially made UN Day with a resolution passed two years after the organization legally came into existence on Oc-tober 24, 1945. It is a day which "shall be devoted to making known to the people of the world the aims and achievement of the United Na-tions and to gain their support for the work of the United Nations." At Bethel specifically, the main purpose of the day shall be world orientation and familiarizing the students with the work of the UN. Due to conflicts in homecoming activities, the main emphasis will take place on Monday, Oct. 27 rather than the official day. Robert E. Riggs, Associate Pro-fessor of Political Science at the University of Minnesota will be the guest lecturer at 3:00 in the Sem-inary Hall Chapel. Having written the text Forging World Order and other works pertaining to inter-national and United States affairs, Professor Riggs is considered an expert on UN organizations and shall speak on the UN's role in today's world. This Student Senate sponsored activity is open to everyone and Senate members urge all students to participate. A question and an-swer time will follow, giving any-one interested a chance to discuss with Professor Riggs the UN's ac-tions and possibly discover if this "Ideal" can really work. The Student Senate took on the UN Day project with primary pur-pose of "world-orienting" Bethel students and showing them the true significance and role of this world organization. Various Senate members have found that students aren't really aware of the UN's functions and see it merely as something which won't work. A typical response from a Bethel student when asked his opinion on the UN was, "I plead ignorance on the subject . . . but from what I know, I see it as a fairly inefficient organiza-tion." "We want to show that the UN is more than people think it is." said senior Tom Mesaros, a history and political science major and coordinator of UN Day activities. "Too many are judging it without any background, or are merely looking at it on the big power level instead of seeing its significance as a whole." Why is it necessary for us to be informed about the United Na-tions? One student expressed that "we should be seeking to become informed on anything we can. And as Christians, it is up to us to be-come involved in learning about other people. How else can you expect to help them if you aren't aware of their needs and problems first?" "We should be interested enough as students to take one day—or even just one hour to become world-oriented," said Tom Mesaros. "None of us will ever learn any-thing without first making the ef-fort to try to learn something." U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nation's sees youth's role as a very important one. "The young generation of today will soon inherit the United Nations as a legacy embodying the fondest hopes of the generation that pre-ceded them. They should recognize that the United Nations represents all the principles and ideals young people are striving for and that it is their best opportunity to realize them. Their goal should be a world where the whole of mankind can go forward with an understanding, a skill and a generosity which will vastly enrich the quality and dig-nity of their lives."

To the editor: Following the Vietnam Moratori-um an article appeared in the Min-neapolis Star telling of two New Jersey High School students who committed suicide because "too many people were treating the Moratorium as just a lark." How many of us are ever both-ered by the fact that there are "Christians" all around us treating Jesus Christ as just a lark? Toni Magnuson Soviet students try moratorium Dear editor: I know you will be interested in this news item I picked up while travelling in Europe this summer: _ MOSCOW: It is now known that on April 7th of this year a Moratorium on Czechoslovakia was declared by the Soviet As-sociation of Students (SAS) to protest the presence of the Rus-sian army in the Free State of Czechoslovakia. Four univer-sity students participated in the ceremonies. All four are now in Siberia completing their studies.

"You would be amazed at the number of students who hear of Bethel for the first time as a result of the tours by the various musical performance groups". This was the statement made in the last Dean's Staff meeting by James Bragg, head of Financial Aids, Admissions and Recruitment. "We have an unusually loyal Constituency,' Bragg again. "Last year we recruited a freshman class of 330 with a recruiter who started working in February. Down Snelling a few miles Macalester enrolled a record froshmen class of 430 with the aid of six recruiters and substantial financial endorsement." Obviously, the music department through our constituency must be doing Bethel college quite a service. Or are they? Are they repre-senting to the constituents, alumni, and particularly the prospective students what Bethel is really all about? The Clarion has had several complaints this semester concerning the question of whether the paper is representing the true Bethel image. "Do you really believe that most of the students on this campus agree with the policies upheld by Chuck Myrbo?" The question came from Julius Whittinger, head of the music department, on the second day of my editorship. I was instructed that it was my responsibility as an editor to both represent and guide the students on this campus. My reply to the question was that if he believed the Clarion did not accurately represent the views of the majority of students on campus that he find some who endorsed the views he throught more closely represent Bethel College, and I would be happy to give them a voice. I waited. Almost a month went by. No students of the type described by Whittinger appeared. About a month later, Dean Virgil Olsen approached me in the coffee shop one afternoon to comment that he had attended a meeting of the music faculty recently and that there had been complaint of the coverage in the Clarion. Olson thought it might be a good idea to suggest to Julius Whittinger that if he was dissatisfied, he might try finding someone who could give him the coverage he desired. A few more weeks went by and the Clarion news editor, for various reasons, decided to drop her newly acquired music major and return to political science. This process required an interview with Dr. Robert Berglund who, coincidentally, wanted to interview her. The conversation focused basically around Berglund's choice of topic which included the quality of the Clarion and its roll on Bethel's campus. Berglund expressed the opinion that "the Clarion had been of rather poor quality in recent years and that it had not appropriately reflected the temper or quality of a Christian college." When presented with the fact that the Clarion has received All American ratings for the past year and one half, he shrugged, saying that any paper with as many typographical errors as the Clarion was high school caliber. He also mentioned that Chuck Myrbo was not qualified to be fine arts editor since he did not have the appropriate cultural perspective. It was his conviction that Myrbo emphasized "pop music" too strongly and was not upgrading the low cultural level of the Bethel community. The conversation closed with the mutual agreement that the Clarion would initiate a fine arts section covering art, drama, theater, films, pop, and classical music. Berglund promised to contact music students who would and could write reviews of both pop and classical concerts for the Clarion. The Clarion office has, to say the least, not been overwhelmed by music students with concert reviews. The student newspaper is not the only area of communications with which Berglund has been in contact. Not long ago, WBCS was offered asistance in obtaining additional finances—about 20 times what they now receive—if they would begin playing more classical music. Along with the offer came the warning that if they did not comply, the station would not be on the air long. According to Mark Kingsbeck, head of WBCS, Berglund promised to send some of his music students down to help with programming. They waited and waited as long as time would permit and finally went ahead on their own and haven't seen a music student yet. It is not the purpose of this editorial to personally attack any one member of the music department, but to question the public image which Bethel is putting forth. It must be evident that due to the lack of response on the part of students in the music department that either the music faculty are grossly misjudging the areas in which student interests lie, or that students in the music department are among those timid bookish parasites on campus against which this editor has been haranguing all semester. If the former alternative is the case, it is really quite dishonest of the college to continue presenting the public with a distorted image of the Bethel commuinty. After all, Bethel consists largely of students rather than faculty. The institution supposedly exists for and of the students, therefore in order to present a true picture of what Bethel is, the public image should present the students in their true light. If the later is the case, heaven help us! We are sending the dead weight of the campus to publically represent us. In an interview with James Bragg earlier this semester, he expressed concern over the question of whether Bethel is being accurately rep-resented to prospective students. This was one of the reasons he gave for the consolidation of Recruitment, Admissions, and Financial Aids. Intregration would present the opportunity for follow-up to discover whether Bethel was what students had expected. It seems evident that if the major portion of public contact is made through the music department, the public is not receiving an accurate image of "where Bethel is at." If our constituency and alumni are as loyal as circumstances seem to suggest, are we not being unfair in showing them a distorted image. We have nothing of which to be ashamed—unless it be the dead weight described previously. Should we not exercise our trust? If the public is to receive a true picture of Bethel students, either the music department should update itself in student affairs, or the community should begin utilizing in public relations its other fertile resources such as art, drama, athletics, student communications and government. THE POLICY OF VIETNAMIZATION The Nixon Administration took office last January with a full under-standing of its major task — to disengage the United States from the war in Vietnam. Now, ten full months later, Vietnamizing the war has become our foreign policy. The problem for Mr. Nixon is complex. First, he must gain enough of the people's confidence to pursue a policy that remains shrouded in secrecy. Then, he must effectively judge the level of enemy activity in order to direct the removal of American forces. Finally, he must find a route to peace in Southeast Asia that will not cause a backlash of public opinion aimed at his administration. The program to Vietnamize the war is two-fold. The first portion is the removal of our combat forces from the war zone. The second portion is the rebuilding of the South Vietnamese army so that they are capable of carrying the burden of combat. It is clear that the President's policy will attempt to prevent a Communist victory after our withdrawal. The speed of our withdrawal is conditioned by both the level of Communist activity and the fighting ability of the South Vietnamese. The present lack of intensive fighting is not as good an indicator as might be, though. Many members of the Administration fear that this is a part of Hanoi's strategy; a low level of combat will speed American withdrawal, leaving the ARVN at the hands of fresh VC forces. Mindful of what might happen, Mr. Nixon has decided to keep his plan for withdrawal both flexible and secret. Within this frame of reference, it may be possible to understand the President's comments regarding the Vietnam Moratorium. To forgive them is a different matter; surely they will be used against him many times. The program to strengthen the ARVN will probably take two or three years. It will also involve the giving of advanced weaponry to the South. The goal of this effort would be to give Saigon an adequate war machine with which to hold off the Viet Cong. Though few realize it, the policy of Vietnamization would not bring a total end to our military presence in Vietnam. Some 250,000 troops, about one-half of our present troop level would remain for a period of a few years. These would not be fighting men; they would be the supply troops that presently keep our war effort going. The South Vienamese have never had an adequate system for the supply and support of its fighting units. We assumed that role in the middle sixties. A major portion of the program to build up the ARVN would be directed towards this area, but until the South Vietnamese can replace them, American logistical forces will have to remain. In the meantime, the American government works for a peace settlement in Paris. But since we are not in a position to dictate terms,, emphasis has been shifted from the peace table to the policy of Vietnam-ization. From the perspective of the White House, the war will continue after we disengage; its outcome will largely depend upon the way we disengage. To Mr. Nixon, the best way to disengage is to build a South Vietnamese military machine that can fight the war without our direct military participation. Given the proper combination of factors — Hanoi's behavior, the mood of the American people, the ability of the ARVN, and finally, time — it could prove to be a feasible answer to the problem. But there are alternatives to the President's policy, and next week we will begin an examination of three of them. After his speech, concluding Bethel's homecoming activities Sat-urday night, Dr. Ramm will meet for an informal session with par-ents in the Bodien Dormitory lounge. This year's Homecoming speaker, Dr. Ramm, is a well-known theo-logian in orthodox Christian cir-cles. Lindig Midway Florist 1875 Larpenteur Avenue W. ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55113 Tel : 646-1972 Corsages Cut Roses Floral Arrangements Karen Nelson chosen Homecoming Queen Dr. Ramm, noted theologian, will speak by Kathy Quick Dr. Bernard Ramm, Bethel's homecoming speaker, is, in the opinion of one Bethel student, one of the five or six most brilliant men in orthodox Christian circles. With a broad background of train-ing and experience in theology, Dr. Ramm is well qualified to speak on the dehumanization of man. Since his strong point is modern contemporary theology, Dr. Ramm's homecoming presentation on "A Christian View of Man in an Age of Despersonalization" should be quite relevant to the modern world. His presentation Sat. night at 7:30 in Bethel's fieldhouse is his only one in the Twin Cities, so the pub-lic is urged to attend along with Bethel students and faculty. Dr. Ramm's return to Bethel for our 1969 Homecoming will truly be a homecoming for him. He form-erly served as a Professor of Theol-ogy at the Bethel Seminary. After leaving Bethel he assumed a posi-tion as Profesor of Religion and Director of Graduate Studies at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Dr. Ramm is presently serving as Professor of Systematic Theol-ogy and Christian Apologetics at California Baptist Theological Sem-inary in Covina, California. Among his literary achievements, Dr. Ramm has written ten books concerning various aspects of Christian Apologetics, Hernemeu-tics, and theology, and an analysis of the Christian college in the twentieth century. He is consulting editor for the well known Christian magazines Eternity, Christianity Today, and the Watchman-Examiner. Dr. Ramm has published articles in several dictionaries of theology, the World Book Encyclopedia, and essays in Revelation and the Bible and Basic Christian Doctrines. Friday, October 24, 1969 the CLARION page 3 Last night, at semi-formal ceremonies in the fieldhouse, junior Karen Anne Nelson was crowned 1969-70 Homecoming Queen. The affair was the highlight of the evening following the drama production of the "Adding Machine." Karen Nelson came to Bethel as a freshman to "find out what Christ-ian education was like. I didn't know much about Bethel, and had only visited here one day when I came." When Karen was asked to evaluate Bethel now that she is in her third year here, she commented that students can find freedom at Bethel. According to Karen, many students are "uptight" but are only stifled because of "self". They could get out of their rut if they wanted to. "They are still relying too much on other people and other people's values." Bethel offers many opportunities to get off campus, she continued. You don't have to be put in a box if you don't want to. Then she added "I love the professors because they are really concerned." Karen is an elmentary education major who has a particular interest in special education, such as work with the mentally retarded or children who need speech therapy. When asked about life in general and her goals, Karen said, "I'd like to live to the fullest and be the best person I can through Christ's help. I want to be a worthwhile person both in my profession and as a wife and mother." To Karen, the purpose of Homecoming is primarily a social affair and for alumni. "I wonder why it couldn't be more a week of questioning." "Homecoming gets a lot of support, but not necessarily support that is concerned." It's more a "big, wild, noncommittal support." Kids go to homecoming because everyone goes. Karen hopes while alumni are on campus this year, that they will realize athletic scholarships are necessary if Bethel is going to be able to offer an education that ministers to the whole person. "It is important that we can hold our heads up with non-Christian schools and show that Christians aren't "namby-pamby." As far as being queen, Karen said she feels that there is a respon-sibility to represent Bethel, "and in a small way a Christian campus. But the biggest honor for me," she said, "was being chosen as a homecoming candidate by my class." Karen Nelson, junior, was crowned Homecoming Queen Thursday night. Homecoming Pep Fest features Skydiving Show To send both fans and football team off to the game in "high" spirits, the homecoming committee has arranged for an exhibition by three members of the Twin Eagle Skydiving School. Jim Marshall, member of the Minnesota Vikings football team and also a diver, will be present as master of ceremon-ies. The three sky divers will have orange smoke flares attached to their hands and feet and will jump from a height of 12,500 feet free-falling a rate of 200 miles per hour before their shutes open at about 2500 feet 21/2 - 3 minutes be-fore they land in Lake Valentine. The divers' maneuvers will be ex-plained on the ground by Jim Mar-shall. The Twin Eagles Skydiving school, which claims over 800 mem-bers, is the only such school in Minnesota. The three members par-ticipating in the exhibition on Sat-urday are Don Wander, a biology teacher from North High School, Jim Zehner, who is training as a commercial pilot for North Cent-ral Airlines, and Lan Wells, head instructor and director of the school. An interview with Director Wells revealed there is a lot more to sky-diving than jumping out of a plane. It is almost a philosophy on life. According to Wells, skydiving re-veals a person's individual char-acter. There is always a fear of jumping. A skydiver never over- Is it a bird, a plane? No, it's a member of the skydiving team from the Twin Eagle Skydiving School. comes it. In beginners it is a fear of the unknown. In pros it turns to apprehension as they gain a realization of all the possibilities of what could go wrong. Wells said that his motivation for skydiving came from the satisfac-tion that he gains in overcoming his own fear. He also likes to ob-serve people's reactions to the jumps. Wells calls the jump a "soul-cleansing experience." "You really become aware of what faith is," he said. "You learn your personal weaknesses and become aware of how insignificant you really are. You learn to face the possibility of death." Wallendorf chosen alumnus of year Selected to receive the fifth alumnus of the year award is Paul E. Wallendorf, who graduated from the Bethel Academy in 1925 and in 1968 assumed the title treasurer of General Electric. He and his wife will be guests of the alumni council for Homecoming activities Satur-day. According to John Carlson, alum-ni director, Paul Wallendorf "is the first member of the business community to be selected since this award was established by the Council in 1965." After graduating from Bethel, Wallendorf went on to receive a business degree from Northwestern University in 1931. He became a certified public accountant and joined General Electric. In May of 1968 he assumed the responsibili-ties of domestic and international financing for that corporation. Wallendorf is a member of the President's Associates, a group composed of professional and man-agement people who form an ad-visory council to Dr. Carl Lund-quist and the Board of Education. Wallendorf and his wife are re-sponsible for the Barbara Wallen-dorf Memorial Scholarsrip estab-lished in memory of a daughter. His father, Rev. Gustaf E. Wal-lendorf, served Conference church-es throughout the country in Mich-igan, Illinois, Connecticut, Kansas, Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin during this lifetime. His sister, Mrs. T. L. Hartsell, taught at Bethel Academy in the 1920's. Wallendorf and his wife now re-side in New Canaan, Connecticut. Paul E. Wallendorf, treasurer of General Electric, was chosen 1969- 70 alumnus of year. What comes down hopefully comes back up again.

An opium den? Guess again. It's one of the apartments housing Bethel bach-elors this year. Nearly half of Bethel's men are finding housekeeping among their learning experiences as they em-bark on the "apartment life." Due to a lack of available housing on campus, academics and athletics are being teamed with cooking and cleaning. After one month of dinners, dishes and the chores of house-keeping the reports from our men off-campus are good. A 21 year old senior commented about apart-ment living: "It's great! We really have a riot and we can have some-one in whenever we want and love the privacy. Come on over and take a look!" (I did stop in for a minute but have no fear, I'm a Bethel girl.) The cost of living off-campus is about the same as room and board costs at Bethel. Apartments are available from $130 to $160 a month and food expenses range from $5 to $7 a week per resident. Senior Gary McCann reported: "We really eat pretty well; yesterday we had pork roast, yams, and blue-berry pie for dessert." In a number of apartment situa-tions, the household tasks are per-formed jointly to avoid unneces-sary tensions and give everyone a chance at the "gourmet routine". All the students visited and in-terviewed had a very positive opin-ion concerning the independent apartment life. "It's a good place to start to get along on your own, especially for students who are close to graduation." Parents, administrators and peers who seriously doubted the capa-bilities of college men living in-dependently and away from cam-pus can relax; several participants in the off-campus experiment chor-us: "all is well!" Skeptics will also appreciate this last note. Gary McCann, Carl Carlson and Denny Whitlock, occupants of a "fascinat-ing pad," have decided to share their fortune and every Sunday night invite 'several dorm men over for dinner so they might get acquainted with on-campus men. Gary McCann (center) and roommates dine on one of their "home cooked" meals. Editor's note: The following editorial is a response provoked by an article printed in the monthly Bethel College Music Journal put out by students in the Music Department and reprinted here. In light of the fact that we as Christians are continually searching for ways to make our faith more relevant, the article and the response touch upon an issue vital to this community and therefore find their place in the CLARION. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." (Col. 3:16) One of the alarming signs of the times is the invasion by the world and the popular music field into the realm of religious and sacred music. Recording companies have begun to "package" devotional songs ��� adapting them to the swing-beat and syncopation of the bar-room. One "big time" producer claims that secularizing sacred music is "the greatest groove since rock and roll." As a result of this type of recording business, Gospel music is now being sung in night clubs, taverns, and dance halls across the land. All of this is a symptom of deterioration — of the breakdown between the sacred and the secular. Nothing stirs up my righteous anger like hearing some clowning enter-tainer swing Gospel songs and even Scriptural choruses. Even more serious than the use of Gospel music by the world, however, is THE GROWING EVIL OF USING WORLDLY MUSIC IN OUR EVANGELICAL CIRCLES! Gospel music is designed to teach the gospel. The jazzing of sacred music by Gospel comedians is nauseating and regrettable. Why don't we stick to the "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" of Ephesians 5:19? If the music in our churches has no real message in it, why sing it? We cannot stop the world from using and debauching Gospel music; but we can stop the world's music from being used in Christian churches. THOT: Instead of the church being a saving salt in the world, the world has become a corrupting leaven in the church! M.R.D. Dear M.R.D., whoever you are, Isaiah 12:5 "Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously, let this be known in all the earth." What is "worldly" music? What is "sacred" music? What is "the church", "the world"? It usually helps to define or understand what something is before you declare it "good" or "evil". Of course, we want to base our definitions or understandings of concepts on what Christ and the Bible says, being Jesus-people. The church, according to Scriptural definition, is the body of believers in Christ. This body of believers does not exclusively exist in the physical structure of a church building. Indeed, given the ante-dated and deteriorated state of the institutional church today, I would tend to believe that there are more Jesus-people outside of the institu-tionalized church than in it. The world. "Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you."- Rms. 3:13. From this verse, I would infer that the "world" and the "church" — body of believers in Christ — are two antithetical and diametrically opposed entities. However, if we look at the situation today, the "church" and the "world" are not antithetical, but integrated. The physical, institutional church fosters and promotes (either implicity or explicity) the values (materialism, self-rigtheousness, hypocrisy, bigotry, intolerance, etc.) which help keep the rest of the establishment (political, social, economic, power-structure) running. This is because the institutional church of today has perverted the values and ideals expressed by Jesus Christ, his followers, and the early church; which were love, humility, peace, brotherhood, economic communism, etc. Now to the music part of this essay. As Dr. Berglund said in a Clarion letter to the editor last fall, "Notes are notes". Quite true. There are no sacred or secular notes, no good or evil notes. The value of notes is derived from the way in which they are asso-ciated and the way we perceive and associate them with ideas and/or other notes. Music exists on a critical, intellectual level due to the com-poser's patterning of particular notes, or style. It also exists on a cul-tural, emotional, subjective level due to the perceivers experiences, asso-ciations, emotions, and personality. Thus, "sacred" and "secular" music are not absolute forms but are relative classifications of works of art starting from the same material, notes. Hymns of the early church were sung to "folk" melodies. There is a strong possibility that these melodies were incorporated into the "sacred" Roman Catholic liturgical chants. (See Grout, A History of Western Music, p. 7.) In medieval times, and during the Renaissance and later periods, the line between "sacred" and "secular" was extremely thin. Motets freely intermingled vernacular and Latin, "sacred" and "secular" themes and lyrics. Luther adapted some of his great hymns from German folk songs. "0 Sacred Head Now Wounded" was originally a love song. So, why do some people get "uptight" when they hear lyrics about Jesus with folk, rock, and/or pop melodies? It certainly isn't "sinful." We have seen that 1.) notes are notes 2.) the mixing of "sacred" and "secular" music is not a phenomena peculiar to this decade. Using current music, art, and communications forms to present Christ and his message is definitely a good thing; not a "growing evil." The current generation of kids — and some members of the older generation — simply will not listen to "traditional church music." They find the current musical forms more involving, meaningful, and aesthe-tically pleasing than the forms that the institutional church is currently using. Although this fact may be anathema to traditional church musi-cians, it is none-the-less a fact. Does this mean we should educate the current generation "up to our level," make sure we develop "appropriate" philosophies of music edu-cation? No. The level we are dealing with when discussing the matter of using "secular" music in the church or "secular" music to "evangel-ize" is the cultural, emotional, psychological level. At this level anyone's judgement is equally as valid as our own — regardless of age, race, sex, or degree. To gain an audience, you must communicate with people in their language. You cannot tell a Frenchman how you feel about Jesus when he cannot understand English and you cannot speak French. You cannot tell a "hippie" how you feel about Jesus when he does not understand the phrases you use, the meanings of the words you use ((i.e. "saved", "new birth", "sin", "redemption") or the style of music you use. You cannot fulfill the Great Commission (Go ye into all the world . . .) if you cannot understand the language or music of the "hippie"; or, thinking you understand it, you refuse to deal with it because "hippies" are our own American "heathens" and you might become "tainted" by trying to communicate with them. You are killing musical creativity in the church by sticking to the old, established, traditional forms of music and excluding any other forms. Music becomes ritual instead of a creative, stimulating, dynamic experience. When was the last time you thought about the meaning of the words you were singing instead of just going through the ritual of singing a hymn? Think of the hymn, "0 Happy Day." When my home church sings it, they sound, look, and feel like they're half dead — not very happy at all. Now recall the year-old platter, "0 Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkin Singers. It is really a joyous, spiritual rendition — with a beat. If you disagree or don't understand what I am saying, I am open to two-way communication. I am not open to one-way didactic harangu-ing. So, if you think truth can arise through rational debate, come and talk to me, M.R.D., whoever you are. But if you think you have the corner on truth, forget it. Love in Christ, Marjorie M. Rusche Interim plans from page 1 Chemistry major. Study Trip to Israel: flying sem-inar of Holy Land. Biblical sites, excavations, etc. will be visited in order to throw light upon Biblical events. It is hoped that the tour will better enable the student to understand the arena into which God chose to send His servants and His Son. (The credits for up-per division require a 5,000 word paper.) Prerequisites: Reading a text be-fore we leave on archeology and one on Biblical history and geo-graphy. Credits may be applied to a Christianity major or to the Christ-ianity general arts requirement. Schools in the Inner City: study of the sociological problems in in-ner city schools. Work as a teach-er's aid with inner city children. Prerequisites: Limiting to stu-dents who are, or have been, in leadership roles in the schools (e.g. Introduction to Education assign-ments). Credits may be applied as elec-tive credits only. Black Literature in U.S.: this course will center attention on the impressive body of literature about the racial agony of America writ-ten by those who had to live it. "Black is beautiful." Readings will be selected poetry and three or four novels. All students will work on a project. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an English major. Intensive Study of an Author, Period, Genre or Work: the course will acquaint the student with the tools of literary research—bibli-ographies, indexes, journals, and other standard reference mater-ials. The student will have oppor-tunity to work in the Bethel Col-lege library and other Twin City area libraries. He will then choose a topic for intensive investigation and will prepare an annotated bib-liography. English majors can use the course for major credit by participating in English Majors' Conference. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to an English major. French Culture: to involve the student in French culture—art, music, historic traditions, politics, science, literature, daily life by means of lectures by visiting pro-fesors, film and slide presentations, student panel discusions, visits to art museums, restaurants, social cont'd on page 5 Pop goes the music "Christ, you know it ain't easy" (Uncut rebirth , • , Nystedt worK organized confusion by Chuck Myrbo On the third (and far from the largest) planet in a small solar system in a minor galaxie nowhere near the center of the universe, there is intelligent life. As far as we know, there is no life anywhere e: se. We believe that a God big enough to con-, tain the universe put that life on this planet and called the highest form of that life "man." He created billions of stars and saved man for the sixth day. David asked that God: "When I look at Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou has established; what is man that Thou art mindful of him?" It seems to me ultimately crucial that God, faced with the possibility of creating an entire universe from absolutely noth-ing, chose as the culmination of that creation man; that God, with an infinite number of possibilities before Him and no pat-ern at all to guide Him, gave His most complex creature that particular set of qualities which we call "being human." So there must be something extremely valuable about being human, something we should celebrate, something we should make every attempt to perfect. The faults which separate us from angels are far less important than the virtues which sep-arate us from, say, rocking chairs. But what does it mean to "be human?" What makes the experience worthwhile? What is there about human beings which makes them the focus of God's universe? From here on: an attempt to define 'the human." First part of the attempt: when we moved to Platteville, Wisconsin, just before my senior year in high school I met a girl who would be, before she graduated, homecoming queen, prom queen, girls' state representative, honor student, star in the class play, and everyone's favorite baby sitter. I soon came closer to loving her than I had come to loving anyone else, but it wasn't her glory that brought me tumbling. One night at play practice the director got on her back about something, and kept it up until she ran off the stage crying. Right then, for the first time, I felt really close to her. Just when she was embarrassed to have anyone see her, I saw her as beautiful. And something about the way weakness func-tioned at that moment has a great deal to do with "being human." `Exit the King' and 'Misanthrope' perform in Northrop Auditorium "Always room for one more" Garnet's Standard Service Complete Service for Your Car Friendly Courteous Conscientious Men Waiting to Serve You Larpenteur St. and Snelling Paul NH 4-2027 Hey man, what's during interim? from page 4 events with people of French back-ground.

Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to Phil-osophy major or to the Christian-ity general arts requirement. Psychology of Sports: this course will be a seminar-research type by Marjorie M. Rusche As a part of their centennial celebration, Augsburg College host-ed a concert at Northrup Auditor-ium last Sunday, presenting the Augsburg Choir in concert with the Minneapolis Orchestra and three featured soloists. The first part of the program was fairly traditional, consisting of a Brahms overture, Academic Fes-tival, and Grieg's Concerto in A Minor for Piano and Orchestra. Brahms described his own work as a "very boisterous potpourri of student songs." Br a h m's craftsmanship in integrating four different themes turned "potpour-ri" into a unified work with a con-tinuous melodic line. The virtuosity of the Minneapolis Orchestra drew out the emotional warmth and har-monic richness of the piece. Grieg's Concerto, a frequently performed concert piece, featured pianist James Johnson, a member of the Augsburg music faculty. The concerto is almost a sophisti-cated Norwegian folk dance. Many musical moods, centered around relatively short rhythmic patterns, color the concerto. The orchestra did their part beautifully. The pianist did every-thing technically correct; though his interpretation w a s rather straight. The orchestra and pianist could have been synchronized bet-course involving the following types of topics: (1) How do you motivate people to new heights of athletic achievement? (2) Why is our culture so sports conscious? (3) What psychological factors are involved in learning and teaching athletic skills? (4) How do men and women differ in their interests and attitudes toward sports as par-ticipants and as spectators? Prerequisites: none Credits may be used as elective credits only. Physics Lab Project: the proto-type of the Bethel version of the Malmstadt-Enke Test Equipment. A week-end trip to Argonne Na-tional Laboratories will feature the operation and application of a com-mercially designed M-E test set-up. Prerequisites: Physics 241 or per-mission of the instructor. Credits may be applied to a Phy-sics major. Sensitivity and the Christian: a discussion and laboratory in the method of sensitivity training as it relates to the Christian life. Sensitivity training is designed to help one gain facility in expressing personal feelings and in being re-ceptive to the emotional needs of others. Prerequisites: General Psychol-ogy 151, take M.M.P.I. test (apply to Paul Mauger). Credits may be applied to the Behavioral Science: Psychology general arts requirement. Christian Faith and History: a consideration of writings of the re-lationship of Christian faith and history and attempts that have been made to develop a Christian theology or philosophy of history. Students will read such books as Herbert Butterfield's Christianity and History, Buttrick's Christ in History. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied toward a history major. Encounter with Social Problems: tours and visits will provide first ter. At times there seemed to be a race going on to see who would get to the end of the phrase first. The pianist usually won. By far the most novel experi-ence of the concert was the pre-sentation of Knut Nystedt's Lucis Creator Optime, the world pre-miere of his cantata which was spe-cially commissioned for Augsburg's Centennial Celebration. Lucis blended contemporary and medieval sounds to give ef-fects ranging from integrated, pul-sating disharmony to melodic con-fusion. The varying effects were created through use of antiphonal orches-tration (the brasses and percussion were split into either side of the stage which gave a staccato echo effect), aleatoric technique (the strings start on a chord and then glissando upward or downward so you feel like you're being stretched upward and pulled downward with the tension), dissonances in both voice and orchestration, and point-illistic technique (starting with a note and having voices or instru-ments layer on it, like a chime ef-fect). The choir sang a straight-tone Gregorian chant style, sounding like ghosts of medieval saints mourning over the martyred. The text of the piece was an old vesper hymn at-tributed to Gregory hand contact with forces causing social problems within our society today. Opportunities for discussion of these forces will be provided following the tours. Prerequisites: Sociology 152 pre-ferred. Credits may be applied to Soci-ology major or anthropology. Social Science Research: an in-dependent library research project stressing both the subject as well as finding possible sources. The approach will be very flexible as to topic and manner of research. A student may elect to research any area of interest and use the in-structor and the library as a ref-erence source. Prerequisites: Open to social science majors and others by per-mission of instructor. Credits may be applied to a Soc-ial Science major. Creative Dramatics with Chil-dren: principles and methods of developing original dramatizations with children. Primary emphasis on story dramatization. Observa-tions of children's classes in crea-tive dramatics. Readings, projects, class discussions. Intended primari-ly for elementary education majors, recreation students, pre-social work students. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to Speech a major. Rhetoric of Racial Revolt: his-torical and contemporary black is-sues will be discussed using black rhetoric as the source material. Through discussions and lectures an attempt will be made to arrive at an objective evaluation of the rhetoric of men like Stokeley Car-michael, H. Rap Brown, Eldridge Cleaver, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and other contemporary black rhetoric-ians. Prerequisites: none Credits may be applied to Speech a major. Nystedt's whole work is a com-mentary on our times as it reflects the current juxtaposition of ortho-dox and contemporary themes and styles which are struggling with each other today. The orthodox and contemporary themes and styles that were in conflict through-out Nystedt's cantata were never resolved. It was an interesting and chaotic musical effort. Perhaps Ny-stedt subconciously tried, and fail-ed, to ape Penderecki. The juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary forms of music were enjoyable. The integration of the two styles has exciting musical possibilities if the styles are in-tegrated, and not merely played or sung simultaneously. The extraneous personnel on the stage were less impressive than was intended. (Augsburg choir members on risers, the Minneapolis Orches-tra, an unhinged grand piano, a celeste, two soloists on the main stage, and a pipe organ in the pit.) Clean it up, clear it out. You don't really need all those bodies for an impressive work of art. It all became slightly ludicrous. Particularly considering the fact Augsburg paid a pretty penny for an imported Norwegian baritone whose performance consisted of a five minute composite total of ran-dom, unpatterned, unintelligible vocalizing. Friday, October 24, 1969 Two dissimilar plays, Ionesco's "Exit the King," and Moliere's "The Misanthrope," mark the re-turn of professional living theatre to Northrop Auditorium on Mon-day, November 3 and Tuesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. The decision to present the two plays at Northrop, according to Ross Smith, Director of Concerts and Lectures, was made, "Because there are once in a while oppor-tunities to present good touring companies that would not other-wise be seen by Twin City Audi-ences. APA is one of these." "Exit the King," a product of playwright Eugene Ionesco's mind, presents an aging monarch faced with the prospect of imminent death. His two wives, one young and the oth6r old, compete for his the CLARION page 5 attention hoping to get him to ac-cept one of their variant views as to the manner in which he should face death. Ionesco carefully avoids cloaking the external trappings of the play with places, names and historical chronology that will give the audi-ence a chance to ignore personal identification with the problem. He displays his skill in accomp-lishing this and even injecting a type of humor that does not de-tract from the central theme. "The Misanthrope," Moliere's acknowledged masterpiece, h a s been performed at The Comedie Francaise about 1,500 times since 1690. The witty spectacle of people who display the utmost decorum while cutting each other into rib-bons has been an unfailing delight to audiences all over the world. You can't keep a good man down. Royals kick the ball against Lakehead. Canadian soccer team from Lakehead outlasts a scrappy Bethel squad The soccer team from Lakehead of Canada had a very successful road trip to the Twin Cities. They defeated Hamline by a 4-0 score on Friday afternoon and added another shutout Saturday morning by beating the Bethel squal 2-0. It looked like the possibility of a zip-zip score. The first 45 minute half closed without a goal and it wasn't until thirty minutes of the second half that Lakehead scored. The left wing passed the ball to the center who manged to get a solid kick off while the ball was still in the air. Finding its way into the top right hand corner, Royal goalie Jon Nordstrom had no chance of reaching the ball. Lakehead's second tally came on-ly three minutes later after a corner kick. The Bethel defense couldn't clear it and the Canadian right inner slammed in a shot from ten yards out. Though the game was played on an even basis most of the time, the Lakehead team worked very well together in their passing game. The Bethel game plan counteracted their potential for scoring with a different defensive alignment. The Royals played with only four for-wards, the usual three halfbacks, and the not so usual three full backs. The halfback line had to operate as the supporting line for both the offense and defense. The system worked most of the game for defense, but left the offense too weak to mount enough pres-sure to score. The Royals put out a strong effort and were not really out of the game until the very end. The Canadian school, a public institu-tion, came with experience both as individuals and as a team. The soccer team's Homecoming Day game should prove to be a real challenge as they take on the University of Minnesota. The inter-national students have their own teams, so our opponents are most likely all American. However, they are very likely to be a good club. Good first half was not enough; Royals lose 2220 EDGERTON STREET ST. PAUL. MINN 55117 Ct iAaT HtwiAy 3t6 eltILLMCL J. Leonard Carroll, Pastor C. Bruce Anderson, Asst. Pastor BUS LEAVES EACH SUNDAY: 9:25 A.M. and 6:40 P.M. The Column by Tim Weko Because Falcon leads the intramural football league, some of their members have been urging me to give them the recognition that their 6-0 win-loss record seems to merit. Well, to be sure, they have won more games than any other team; it's just that they haven't been the most consistent team except for the fact that they win consistently which is the only thing that counts ultimately. But Falcon has been involved in at least three sudden death Lost overtime games with other teams. I guess what I'm trying to say is 0 that there are a number of very good teams in the intramural league this year, any number of which could conceivably beat the leaders, but since Falcon seems to be able to win the close ones they remain the team to beat. * * * * Intramural bowling has gotten off to a rolling start with quite a few boys showing up for the weekly Tuesday night bowler derby. In fact, First Floor and New Dorm had so many people present that they had to divide into two teams each. Bowling is something that everyone can do, whether athletically inclined or not. So next Tuesday why not go knock a few pins down for the good of your team? * * * * Basketball practice has started for the freshmen this week even though the gym is full of drama equipment and choir members getting their pictures taken. Monday, the first day of practice, was also the day that the choir got a group picture taken. Basketball practice was halted early to clear the floor for the choir, although a couple players were shooting baskets at the opposite end of the court. Not being qualified to judge a musicians motives, I can only speculate why Dr. Robert 'Berglund, the head of the choir, stopped these fellows from shooting: either he was afraid the eyes of the choir members would go up and down during the pictures, or he was making a soundtrack at the same time the pictures were being taken. * * While attending the fantastic performance of the Everyman Players as they presented "The Book of Job" last Friday evening, it suddenly dawned on me that Job, unlike his friends and family, was not a fair-weather fan. Last Saturday afternoon eigl-A Bethel boys went to Como Park to play touch football with a team from St. Paul Bible School. St. Paul Bible showed up with twenty-four players and even some spectators. It was rumored that they had been practicing together everyday for a month just to beat Bethel. (Maybe it was their homecoming game.) Anyhow, they wanted to play two 45 minute halves; a move which was interpreted as a way to tire Bethel players since there were only eight of them. St. Paul Bible seems to have lost to this unorganized group of students from Bethel by the close score of 12-7. This editor extends his sympathy to the team from St. Paul Bible and hopes that they will challenge Bethel again sometime — after they practice a little longer.

Huron won its first victory of the season 55-27. The Royal gridders scored 27 points in the first half, more than the total number they had scored in their five previous games, but a second half letdown cost them the victory. On the second play from scrim-mage, Dave Pound grabbed a Mur-ray Sitte pass and raced 78 yards to the four yard line. One play later, Barry Anderson rammed into the end zone from the two for the first score. Pound and Sitte also scored first quarter touch-downs as Bethel took a 21-14 lead. Bethel's field hockey team is still chasing victory and those hot fudge sundaes. In a game against the Universtity of Wisconsin at River Falls the Bethel women lost 4-0. That looks bad, but actually the defense did a supurb job. It could have been much worse. The River Falls team had previously beaten St. Catherines 10-0. Jean Westwater, goalie, did a good job, keeping out the majority of the shots. Last Thursday in freezing, snowy weather the Bethel women played Carleton College at Northfield. Carleton has always boasted a good team and the game was a real bat- In the second period, Cal Harfst booted field goals of 25 yards and 28 yards, matching a Huron touch-down and conversion failure, and giving the Royals a 27-20 halftime lead. The second half was all Huron. Scoring 15 points in the third quar-ter and 20 in the fourth they made the final tally 55-27. Except for a few mistakes, the victory could easily have been Bethel's. Three pass interceptions in Royal territory gave Huron op-portunities which they capitalized upon. The Royals had more first downs than Huron, 16 against 13, but Huron held a slight advantage in total yardage, 403 to Bethel's 367. tle with neither side scoring. The first half belonged to Bethel, play was offensive, and there were se-veral scoring threats. The second half was all Carleton and it was to the defensive team's credit that no goals were scored. Bob Olsen headed the rushing attack with 94 yards in 16 carries. Pound and Anderson led in pass yardage with 7 for 139 and 4 for 53 respectively. Dan Brown and Jeff Knighton gave fine perform-ances on kick returns, and the defensive effort was led by Perry Johnson, Larry Van Epps, Greg Ekbom, and Dennis Sjogren. In tomorrow's homecoming con-test the Royals challenge North-western of Iowa. Northwestern, currently on top of their confer-ence, has an offense which runs and passes well, and a defense which is particularly strong against a running game. Bethel will have to put two good halves together in order to win. Mrs. Wilson, the team's coach, feels that Bethel has a good chance to pull off a victory in their two remaining games. Monday the team plays St. Catherine's again a n d Tuesday Bethel faces the Univer-isty of Minnesota. Last Saturday, the Royal cross country team took twelvth place out of thirteen possible at the St. Cloud Invitational Cross Country meet. Held at the St. Cloud Country Club, the meet brought together some of the finest teams in the Midwest. Bethel usually tries to attend a couple of these meets to give the runners a chance to par-ticipate _against outstanding com-petition and to try to improve upon personal performances. St. John's, which is rated as having a very good chance to win the National Cross Country Meet later this year, took first place fol-lowed by South Dakota State, St. Cloud, Augsburg, and Macalester. Other teams that participated are as follows in their respective order of placement in the meet: Bemidji State, Moorhead, St. Thomas, Southwest State, Golden Valley, Duluth, Bethel, and Gustavus Adol-phus. This afternoon at 4:00, the Royals host Winona in the homecoming cross country meet. The Warriors from Winona are a strong team with four exceptionally good run-ners. They will provide tough corn-petition. However, the Royals have been training long and hard for this one, and say they won't come back empty-handed. Although as a team the Royals were not very impressive at St. Cloud, they did have a couple of personal time improvements. Dwight Carlson ran the four mile distance in 22:05, his best ever, and Mark Anderson covered the course in 22:25, also his best. Paul Youngquist ran his typically good race in 23:04. Rich Swanson, who is usually a top contender in most of the meets, was sick and unable to make the meet. Had he been able to be there the team standing might have improved a little. Coach Glader stated that the meet gave the boys a chance to prove themselves against opponents which were "simply out of Bethel's class".
