"understanding, ordering SU,BURB' IA and improving"
WED. OCT. 20,1971 • NOON TO 8 PM • ARDEN HILLS CAMPUS
by Brenda Barth
What's good and bad about Twin
City suburban life?
This question will be explained
on Wednesday, Oct. 20, at the Arden
Hills campus, where the Minnesota
Private College Council and
WCCO Radio will sponsor a sym-
Victor Obenhaus
posium, "Suburbia.." The theme for
the day will be "Suburbia: Understanding,
Ordering, and Improving."
Community leaders and the general
public will join in workshops
to consider suburban problems of
youth, housing, environment, government
structure, taxes, ethical issues,
roles of the churches, family
life, and education.
This symposium is the fourth annual
public forum co-sponsored by
WCCO and one of the Minnesota
private colleges. A spokesman for
the radio station said: "0ur desire
is twofold. First, we want to give
greater visibility to the community
involvement of private colleges.
Second, we want to focus on the
problems of the suburban Twin
Cities as seen by a wide variety of
concerned people."
Other schools hosting previous
symposiums have been Gusta,vus
Adolphus College on Rural Problems,
Augsburg on Metropolitan
Environment, and St. John's University
and College of St. Benedict,
on Indian Education.
The WCCO private college forums
have produced tangible results.
The regional River Bend Association,
made up of representatives
from 11 counties along the Minnesota
River, was a result of the symposium
at Gustavus Adolphus. The
forum at Augsburg resulted in fo'rmation
of several ecological groups.
The symposium last year at St.
John's and St. Benedict's initiated
a scholarship program and curriculum
changes in several private colleges.
Coordinator of the program,
Dwight Jessup, Bethel professor of
political science, stated, "0ur biggest
desire is to bring together
practitioners and scholars and the
people who are interested in suburban
concerns so they can interact.
In order to direct the future
of suburbia, we must first work together
to understand it."
Three nationally recognized ex-
Scott Donaldson
perts will participate. Alan K.
Campbell of SYracuse University
will speak on The Puzzle of Suburbia
and participate on panels for
two of the ten seminar-workshops
scheduled throughout the after
noon. Victo'r Obenhaus, Christian
ethics professor at Chicago Theo-
Alan Campbell
logical Seminary, will lead workshops
on the role of the church
and moral ethical concerns in suburbia.
Scott Donaldson, associate
professor of English and history
at the College of William and Mary,
will participate in workshops on
education and youth in suburbia,
and family and community in suburbia.
"I believe we may have on the
workshop panels one of the largest
groups of practitioners in Minnesota
to sit down and face suburban
problems and regional relationships,"
says Jessup.
In addition, nearly SO local community
leaders and educators will
be on the workshop panels. Anyone
interested may register at 11 :30
on the day of the symposium. A
$10 fee covers both the luncheon
and dinner.

Is the welfare state right around the corner?
On President Nixon's desk is a new welfare bill. This
bill is waiting for his signature to make it law . . . both the
house and the senate have passed the bill.
This new bill, which started out as a two year extension
of the Office of Economic Opportunity, is now a package that
gives the federal government "potential jurisdiction over each
and every aspect of each and every life that's born into the
United States of America."
What is the nature of this bill that puts our "Big Brother",
staffed with his experts to be sure, in the position of "Big
Daddy?"
This bill would authorize the federal government to provide
(quoting from the Report of the Committee on Labor and
Public Welfare) "comprehensive physical and mental health,
social and cognitive developmental services; food and nutritional
services (including family consultation); special programs
for minority groups, Indians and bilingual children;
specially designed programs (including after school, summer,
weekend, and overnight programs); identification and treatment
of physical, mental, and emotional problems, including
problems of emotionally disturbed children; prenatal services
to reduce malnutrition, infant, and maternal mortality, and
the incidence of mental retardation: special activities for physically,
mentally, and emotionally handicapped children and
children with special learning disabilities; training in the
fundamentals of child development for family members and
parents in securing full access to other services and -other
activities."
This is' what is called "Comprehensive Child Development."

Senator James Buckley of New York, addressing himself to
the measure said, "It is a program which would revolutionize
the concept of child-rearing in the United States. It is a program
which is intended, initially, to cover the children of 32
percent of all American families - one out of three - ·a program
whose long.-termand explicit objective is to extend
these federally designed, and therefore, federally controlled
programs, to encompass all American children regardless of
income."
Some people say that this program is completely voluntary,
however the question must be raised as to how voluntary
the program is in the long run. RE:p. Donald Fraser of Minnesota
states, "The next stage of its work will be to study the
possible introduction of a compulsory, public pre-school system,
which will allow all children within a certain age range
to attend part time or full-time."
Observing our "public" system, which is supposedly neutral
education, I have to ask whether or not this "comprehensive
mental health" program will -be as "neutral." Or how
about "emotional" problems .... I've heard it said, by "experts"
that "religious" people are emotionally disturbed and
are a detriment to all of society . . . . shall we provide them
with "special activities" to make them better able to fit into
society?
Dr. Reginald S. Lourie, president of the Joint Commission
on the Mental Health of Children, suggested why he wanted
this network of federally controlled child care centers when
he spoke to the Senate Labor Committee.
"The other important information we should keep in
mind," he said, "is that in the first 18 months of life, the brain
is growing faster than it ever will again. It is then also more
plastic and most available for -appropriate experience and corrective
interventions."
Ummm ... But this guy is an "expert" who is only looking
after our better welfare. So maybe I -should just sit back and
allow the "experts" to reprogram me so I will want to turn
my children over to them to be "physically, mentally, ·and emotionally"
more able to live in this "man's world."
It seems to many a sign of true tolerance if one does
not drag religious principles into a political argument
or a labor dispute and if one does not consciously start
from a religious presupposition for one's policy and conduct.
What this argument seems to have forgotten is that
everyone, including the so-called expert, also starts from
a presupposition and that there can be no facts at all
without some undergirding value system and frame of
reference. Christians have too easily conceded the claim
of the expert to his claim of neutrality. Why make enemies
unnecessarily? Who am I that I should think myself
to have a corner on the truth? What insufferable pride
is this for me to think that Christian truth is absolute?
And what more satanic sophistry, the modern Christian
is finally silenced and he withdraws into the citadel of personal
relationships, leaving the entire realm of modern
culture, politics, and industry to the humanists, scientists,
and technicians. Such a withdrawal of Christians from the
most important areas of modern life, e.g:, politics, industry,
eduction, and communications, is exactly what Satan
most encourages Christians to do " for no battle has yet
been won in history where the soldiers refused to fight.

What breed of man is George McGovern?
Is he serious about the Presidency?
Does he really have a chance?
In order to find answers, a group of politically inclined
Bethel students recently trekked over to Augsburg
College to the George McGovern Benefit Concert. Included
in the motley group were Professor Bill Carlson and wife,
Mary Meyer, Jack Priggen, Elden Elseth, and Pat Brown.
(It should be noted that Pat is a member of the Central
Committee of the Democrau,c Party in Minnesota and is
also manager of a McDonald's Hamburger establishment.)
Several rock groups starred with the South Dakota
Senator. (Politics is taking on a new trend!) Sam Lay's
Blues Revival, Sioux Indian Floyd Westerman, Warren
Could "Nice Guy" McGovern
Handle the Presidency?
Beatty, and others warmed up the audience. After about
two hours of preliminaries, George finally did present
himself.
In his short speech, McGovern lashed out against the
Vietnam war, calling it, "a brutal and senseless war which
is against everything decent this country stands for." He
termed the recent election in South Vietnam as a "total
fraud," which "carries the one man one vote policy too
far!" Also concerning the war issue, McGovern noted that
one of the first things he would do if elected - would
be to grant general amnesty to draft evaders and dissenters.
Many political scientists, including such men as Milfred
Q. Sibley of the U. of M., feel that the next crucial
issue will involve the Middle East. At this point McGovern
does not take a "dovish" position (causing some of his
pacifistic followers to wonder). George advocates the
sale of U.S. jets and equipment to Israel. He stated that
without our help, Israel would not remain a sovereign
state and would be literally "driven into the sea." If
president, however, he stated that he would not go beyond
the point of supplying jets and would work for negotiated
settlement in what he felt was a bleak situation.
This is George McGovern, 48, a former W.W. II
bomber pilot, a man who would love to put Ralph Nader,
Ramsey Clark, and Gen. James Gavin in top levels of
government, and a man who is "fed up with old men
dreaming up wars for young men to die in . . . " It is
perfectly clear that he has been consistant in most is-
CALL AHEAD FOR
FASTER SERVICE
sues, even when unpopular. Further, he is personable and
handles himself well in public. It is hard not to like him
as a person. He is not aloof.
Doubts creep in, however. One wonders if McGovern
is only a "one issue man." The Vietnam war is drawing
to a close and the President of the U.S. must cope with
widely varied issues - crime, the economy, international
trade, etc. Does McGovern have the experience and competence
to handle possibly the most demanding job in
history? (He has only been directly involved in national
politics since 1962.) Does he have a personal faith in
God that will not break when the going is rougher than
hellfire (which it will be)? It takes more than a nice guy
to be President for Uncle Sam - and thus one wonders
about McGovern.

Nik-Dag: Bethel Blanche Strikes Again
by Dawnelle Kramer
At last! Blanche had Nik-Dag all planned. She was a
little apprehensive abO'ut the entire weekend. For weeks now,
she and the rest of the girls on her floor had been planning
and replanning their weekends. Every spare moment was
given to whom they would ask, how they would ask him,
where would they ask him, what they would ask him, how many
nights would they ask him for, and so on and so forth.
First there was the decision of WHO it would be. Blanche
had two guys in mind; one sat behind her in biology and the
other was in her art class. She had a fun time with both of
them, goofing around and going bananas, teasing each other
about school, etc. The big question still remained, though -
who to ask! She finally decided that it would be Homer, her
biology (?!) partner. Blanche and her roommate had decided
that they would double and now things were beginning to roll.
They knew that they could not ask their dates for NikDag
until the dog barked. Blanche decided that she would
ask Homer in persO'n but just in case she didn't have the
guts she might use the phone. One of the rules this year is
that girls must give their dates a garter armband (how would
a flaming red garter look O'n Homer?) symbolizing "Hands
off! This guy is taken!''- Plus they were going to have to
make their dates each a pie and present it to them sometime
during the weekend. What a hassle! Blanche could just imagine
what a mess this would be in Bodien with only one oven
for 160 girls. And of course she had no idea what Homer'S
favorite pie was. Probably peanut butter for all she knew.
Oh well, Blanche had already noticed that Homer himself
was a little crusty.
The weekend activities on campus would include a Friday
evening concert with Phil Driscoll and Yumama; and then
Saturday evening a Halloween costume dinner in the field-

house with prizes awarded for the best costumes. What a
drag, Blanche thought, just like the good ole' "teeny-bopper"
days. But maybe if she and Homer could work on it together
. . . They could ·always go as the Lone Ranger and TO'nto.
After all, Blanche knew her brother still had that old Indian
costume at home.
Blanche could already feel the butterflies taking control
of her stomach. All her plans were made, but there was always
the chance - well, Homer wouldn't dare - it could never
happen ...

by Rich Bordcamp
An article from a Campus Life· magazine was brought
to my attention the other day. In it, the author gave her
views on what homecoming is. She made the point that homecoming
is, in reality, the election of a homecoming queen.
This "que,en" is set up and idolized by the school population.
"She represents the Americ,an dream girl, a sort of miniature
Miss America, an object that all lesser endowed girls dream
of being. And they curse the fact that they are who they are."
This, to me, is a serious and legitimate criticism of homecoming
that should be dealt with. We, at Bethel, have just

celebrated our weekend festivities of homecoming. We have
gone through with the tradition of electing a homecoming
queen. But have we, in the process, elrcted an idol, an object
to be set up on a pedestal?
I don't think the tradition is Christian, but rather, it is an
outcrop of our American culture. It is American to have a
Miss America, a Miss Dairymaid, a Playmate of the Month,
or a homecoming queen. And as Americans, we get caught
up in another American tradition of idolizing these beauties.
The title "homecoming queen" isn't just one applied to the
homecoming, but it l'asts throughout the school year.
We at Bethel have the responsibility of providing activities
that unite each other and draw us into closer communion
with God. The election of a homecoming queen only
serves as a wedge separating us from this goal. It arouses
feelings of competition, idolatry 'and jealousy. It is a contradiction
to the goal of homecoming; that of uniting alumni and
Bethel students.
Homecoming 1971 has come and gone. But while it is still
f.resh in our minds, let's plan on doing something different
for next year. Let's not go on another year practicing the
election of a homecoming queen. It has a social stigma attached
to it that spells: un-Ghristian.
Student Aggrandizes
Justice Hugo Black
br Jack Priggen
When Hugo Black resigned from the Supreme Court last
month, all of us who love and value our freedoms perhaps
lost our strongest defender of these freedoms. When he died
less than two weeks later, many who were familiar with his
personal stand and philosophies - which he used as his guidelines
during his thirty·four years on the Supreme Court -
felt that they had lost 'a personal friend. With Black's death,
the court lost its most eminent civH libertarian and a Justice
who, more than any other, had influenced its liberal course
under Chief Justice Earl Warren. But the sense of loss was
felt whether one was a liberal or conservative, a Republican
or a Democrat. Admiration for Hugo Bla·ck eclipsed political or
social factors and cut across racial, regional and religious
boundaries.
Black was appointed to the court by FDR in 1937, and
during his thirty-four years on the court, Black probably has
had more of his dissenting opinions later become court doctrine
than any other justice in court history. In perhaps his
greatest single personal victory on the court, he wrote the
court's controversial, but unanimous, 1963 opinion requiring
states to provide free lawyers for criminal defendants who
could not pay their own court costs. In a case twenty-one
years earlier, Black had stated the same opinion, but had
been outvoted.
In interpreting the First Amendment 's statement that
"Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of
speech, or the press," Black held that" 'no law' means no law."
In a dissenting opinion in a decision which upheld the obscenity
conviction of Ralph Ginzburg, the publisher of Erotica,
Black declared, "I believe that the federal government is
without any power whatever under the Constitution ' to put
any type of burden on speech and expression of ideas of
any kind."
Fittingly, Hugo Black's last decision had been a First
Amendment case concerning the Pentagon Papers controversy.
Black scolded the Nixon administration's attempt to stop publication
of secret documents on the origin of the Vietnam
W·ar. In his opinion, IBlack wrote, "I believe that every moment's
continuance of the injunction against these newsp'apers
amounts to a flagrant, indefensable and continuing violation
of the First Amendment. Paramount among the responsibilities
of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the
government from deceiving the people and sending them
off to distant lands to die of foreign shot and shell."
The jurist from Alabama once said: "Being a rather
backward country fellow, I understand it (the Constitution) to
mean what the words say." This absolutist view of the Bill of
Rights has done much to preserve the freedom of us all.

A Conversation With Daniel Ellsberg
The following is an interview with Dan ElIsberg by Carl
Nelson, of the College Pre'ss Service, and Frank Greer, Special
Proiects Director, National Student Association.
GREER: We should begin with a history of your experiences
in the government, the work you did with the Rand Corporation,
and how that affected your view of foreign policy
and this government.
NELSON: And specifically as that related to your decision
to release the papers to the press.
ELLSBERG: The reason I was asked to be on the study
that came to be known as the PentagO'n Papers was that I had
worked for the Department of Defense on Vietnam in '64 and
'65 and had also spent two years with the Department of State
in Vietnam. SO' by late '67, I had spent three years working
on Vietnam.
Prior to that I had worked for the Rand Corporation on a
study of decision-making and crises. It (the position) gave me
an interest and experience in analyzing processes of governmental
decision-making. Ultimately I was authO'rized access
to the entire study, for purposes O'fanalysis. And at the end
of that I was an expert, in the sense that I had read a 7,000
page book that no one else had read. I found that a very lonely
feeling.
We are talking here about decisions that involve the history
of all of us - the history by which our elected representatives
and their appointed officials got us into a major
war. It was something that I thought every c.itizen needed to
know and certainly other members of the gO'vernment outside
the executive branch needed to' know. They weren't complicated,
they were facets of our experience and our decision·
making - the performance of the people that had been elected
or appointed. So, I felt that it was essential that Congress,
in particular, make good decisions and informed decisions -
that Congress shO'uld know a great deal more about the background
of past decisions than the Executive had let them know.
Ultimately, I felt the same to be true for the public,
especially after the last year or so which has seen two more
invasions take place under what were obviO'usly conditions of
the same kind O'f deception and executive usurpation of
authority that the earlier decisions had shown. Ifhat led me
to the decision to make this information available to the public
and the press.
GREER: There has been a question in the minds of the
Congressmen that met with you recently about whether this
study and its release mean that there will be substantial change
in either the public's view of wars of this type or the executive
steps that leads us into these wars.
ELLSBERG: I believe that the immediate change to be
hoped for is in the performance and behavior of the current
elected representatives, particularly in Congress. There is no
one in the country who has not a great deal to learn from these
papers, and by that I mean to include the President, and former
presidents.
And I'm very anxious that the behaviO'r of Congress change
in response to the information that is in these records.
NELSON: It is obvious from the Pentagon Papers that a
small circle of diplomatic and military advisers provided ad-eight
vice to the President on making his decisions. What alterna,tives
could be develO'ped to allow dissent to develop - creative
forms of dissent which might save thousands of lives in the
near future?
Along these same lines, what is your feeling on the mass
civil disobediences during the early part of last May, the Mayday
actions?
ELLSHERG: I think that the answer has to be not centrally
performed in the executive branch and the courts. I might add
that the courts are to' be criticized in their past behavior for avoiding
the basic responsibility of addressing very profound legal
questions connected with this war, just as most Congressmen
have failed to do what they could in line with their own
Constitutional functions.
Daniel Elisberg
NELSON: The second part of that question is could you
try to relate your dissenting actions, which seem to me to be
pretty much outside of that system of government, and which
have gotten you into some possible trouble so far, with some
O'ther kinds of creative dissent such as the Mayday actions.
ELLSBERG: Thanks to John Mitchell's action in demonstrating
the willingness of this administration to suspend the
Constitution, in effect, to keep traffic running in Washington
and to keep the war going by jailing 13,000 people, I think he
brought home to the American public more than any other
action could have the fact that there were at least 13,000 people
in this country who were willing to go to jail to demonstrate
that they t~ought that this war was wrong, criminal, and not
merely a mistake but a crime that must be stopped. Now, that
is an example that I would like to see Congressmen take very
seriously as a standard of behavior.
I have fQund Qver the last year a very deplQrable attitude
Qn the part Qf many adults and Qlder peQple whO' have been
happy to' see their SQns and O'ther yQunger peQple take the risks
Qf carrying Qn the war. When I asked peQple, even thQse in
CQngress, hQW they thQught the war was gQing to' be brQught
to' an end, Qr what WQuld keep President NixQn frQm invading
LaO's befQre that happened, Qr bQmbing NQrth Vietnam befQre
that happened, Qr destrQying Vietnam befQre that happened,
they tended to' say: "the kids" will nQt allQw it.
They might say demQnstratiQns will nQt allQw it, but then
if yQU pressed them further - "whO' is gQing to' dO' thQse
things" - "the kids".
I wQuldn't beat all happy if the burden O'f resisting this
war cQntinues to' be Qn the adQlescents and yQung men in arms
while their parents and Qther Qlder peQple stand back and
regard risk-taking as tQtally Qut Qf the questiQn,
I dO' have SQme hQpes right nQW, and they are in part
related to' the PentagQn Papers, and the release Qf them. I
think that the mQQd Qf the American public since the tQtal
failure Qf the LaQtian invasiQn, and the disillusiQnment with
the effect Qf the war O'n Qur trQQPs Qverseas - the heroin and
cQrruptiQn Qf the gQvernment Qf SaigQn - cQmbined nQW with
the revelatiQns in the PentagQn Papers as to' hQW we gQt where

the feeling that it will be much mQre difficult in the future
than in the past to' get a tQlerant receptiQn frQm the press,
the CO'ngress and the public fQr further eS'calatiQn.
If NixQn shQuld cQnclude that he can nO' lQnger creditably
threaten to' destrQY NQrth Vietnam because he can nO' lQnger
CQunt Qn cQncealing his intentiQns from the press and the
public, Qr lying to' them ina way which is either effective Qr

his hand with which to' pursue victQry.
If China, by her willingness to' receive NixQn', shQuld Qffer
him a chance to' be a peace president rather than a war president,
I think it's nQt impQssible that he might gO' against his
past PQlitical recQrd,and take that PQsitiO'n even at the price
Qf reaching an end to' this war.
GREER: Many peQple have nQt been able to' struggle
thrQugh even the abbreviated fQrm Qf the PentagQn Papers, and
that's a shame because the American public shQuld read that
material, but what dO' yQU think, in just a brief fQrm, were the
majQr lessO'ns, the kind Qf message it carries to' the public?
ELLSBEJRG: I think the mQst impQrtant messageS' dO'
depend Qn a fairly extensive reading. The messages are nQt
abQut specific, particularly startling, acts of deceptiQn in
themselves Qr agressiQns O'f variQus kinds, bU't rather what the
dQcuments reveal Qf the Qverall values and intentiQns and
practiceS' O'f the administratiQn. NQw, when Qne dQes make the
effQrt, I think it's an effort that citizens and abQve all Qfficials
shQuld make, to' read a great deal Qf this material.
In my QpiniQn it's very hard to' avoid a feeling that this
has been an American war frQm the beginning. And Americans
bear the resPQnsibility, O'r a large part Qf the resPQnsibility,
fQr all the deaths in IndO'china, which are certainly mQre than
a milliQn since we began financing this war, and CQuld well be
as many as fQur to' five milliQn - if all are taken intO' accQunt.
I think that twO' things are necessary fQr the public and
the CQngress to' reach that state of mind in which they will be
willing to' risk their careers in uncQnventiQnal effQrts to' end
this war. First, infQrmatiQn cQntained in these dQcuments and
secQnd, the example Qf respected figures such asCO'ngressmen,
whO' shQW by their actiQns and behaviQr that they agree
and that they mean what they may be saying already - that
the war is wrQngful and must end.
A Memo 1rollt
(jo{!ernor Anderson
by Governor Wendell Anderson
When the 26th Amendment to' the U. S. CQnstitutiQn was
authQrized by the U. S. CO'ngress last March, few Qbservers
Qf the PO'litical prO'cess feresaw its ratific·atiQn in time to'
allQw Qur 18-tQ-20 year O'lds the right to' VQte in the NQvember
1972 electiQn.
Thirty-eight legislatures had to' act befQre the franchise
was extended to' the 11 milliQn young peQple, including 221,000
in Minneseta, whO' WQuld be affected. HistQrically, the ratificatiQn
prO'cess by states has taken years.
We all knQw what happened in less than 100 days after
CQngress acted.
MinnesQta, within minutes after the cQngressiO'nal action,
became the first state to' ratify the amendment. On June 30,
OhiO' became the thirty-eighth state. The 18-year-old vQte was
the law Qf the land.
NO' Qne really knQws whether the yQung vO'ters will exercise
their new-fQund right.
Many O'f them will have the QPPQrtunity to' dO' SO' this
fall in municipal electiQns arQund the state, including SQme
in cities with heavy cQllege student PQPulatiQns. Next November,
all 18-year-Qlds will be eligible to' VQte in the general
electiQn.
I persQnally believe young vQterS' will register and VQte
in substantial numbers. The turnQut, hQwever, will be influenced
by several impO'rtant factQrs:
FIRST, the availability and Qpenness Qf registratiQn prQcedures.
Student VQters shO'uld have the right, in my judgment,
to' register at their parents' address, Qr at their cQllege
address, whichever they cQnsider their residence.
SECOND, the willingness Qf PQlitical parties to' invQlve
yQung peQple in their decisiQn-making prQcesses, delegate selectiQn
and platfQrm preparatiQn.
I am pleased that bO'th majQr parties are making sincere
effQrts in this regard.
THIRDLY, the attitude Qf candidates running fQr Qffice.
They must be willing to' discuss campaign issueS' with the
new vQters, and to' SQlicit the O'piniQns Qf the yQung.
YQung peQple are suspiciO'US Qf gQvernment. They are
cautiO'us abQut invQlving themselves in PQlitics. Many are
"turned Qff" by many Qf Qur sQcial, PO'litical and eCQnQmic
institutiQns.
NQw, they have in their grasp the mQst PQtent weapQn
fQr change this demQcratic sQciety can Qffer - the vQte.
I anxiQusly await their electO'ral participatiQn.

Colloquy
Causes
Mixed
Reaction
by Joey Healy
At Homecomings's Spectrum, Don Larson
referred to "a course called Freshman
Cowlick. No, a cowlick is an unwanted,
unruly thing that sticks out.
The course is Freshman Colloquy, which
is not related to cowlick at all, but to
colic, which is a pain in the gut."
It appears that a great number of
freshmen agree with this pronouncement.
According to class description, Freshman
Colloquy was initially intended to
"guide the student in his search for
self-identity before God ina world of
man and nature with its history through
the reading of pertinent books including
significant passages of Scripture
and discussion.
"With a low student-teacher ratio
this course would allow for close interaction
and hopefully give the student
reason for continuing search into various
areas of knowledge and familiarity
with several disciplines as dynamic processes
for discovery and the solution to
man's fundamental problems."
Marion Beiser responds this way: "I
see the theory behind' Colloquy as to
open up and question things - but I
don't think it can be achieved in a
class-room situation."
On the other hand, Linda Tanquist
"really enjoys colloquy. It's been successful
in making me think for myself
Glasses
and stand up for and formulate defenses
for my beliefs. I know what I believe,
but the course is helping me to see
more reasons why I believe.
"Reading and discussing articles by
non-Christians has made me appreciate
'all the more the peace and love of Jesus.
Our class discusses a lot about what the
Christian believes, too, and the answers
we have to the searching questions asked
by others in our world. It helped me to
form a closer relationship between Jesus
and life, and see more than just
'our side'. My class', if it does nothing
else, at least breaks the 'protective
shell" of Bethel's haven, and makes us
face the harsh issues of life."
Cindy Agee complains that "no one
knows what they are doing, or what the
class is for."
Sue Christian says, "Colloquy is pointless
for me because I have had this type
of course before in a situation where I
feel it was handled better."
Jill Johnson really enjoys class Tuesday
through Thursday.
"Our class gets into some weird discussions,"
she said, "but I don't get a
whole lot out of the combined sessions
on Fridays."
CheryX Lindgren agrees that "th~
individual classes aren't too bad, but
the joint sessions are boring."
Many. freshmen voice positive criticism.
Contact Lenses
"I have trouble re1ating fully to the
discussions," states John Nordell. "My
biggest complaint is that it takes too
much class time to make it worthwhile -
time that could be used to t'ake the courses
I need. This is especially critical to
the student who will transfer to another
school."
"There should be an attempt to bring
the issues down to an applicable level,"
points out Jean Lovaas. "So much of
what we discuss is pure theory. More
effort should be made to bring in speakers
who will define issues on a practical
level, not just on the speculative level."
For Dan Olson, colloquy is a success.
"I'm in Don Larson's section, and it's
really neat and helpful. Larson sure is
a scream!" he said.
Eunice Siebelist thinks that "it helps
bring relevant issues out in the open,
such as common fears felt by college
students. So far my particular group
has had good discussions which have
helped me."
Tim Nelson likes colloquy.
It's opened up a number of concepts of
myself and the world and language that
I've never encountered 'before," Tim explained.
"If more kids would come to class with
the attitude that colloquy can be of benefit
to them, the class would become
more interesting and worthwhile," Bob
Jordan points out.

The aspect of colloquy that Celi Gonzalaz
'appreciates most of all is that "it
provides a relief from an all-academic
curriculum."
At a recent Alumni Symposium on the
new curriculum, Dean Virgil Olson made
some comments on Freshman Colloquy
during the question and answer period.
"We're struggling with it," he began.
"We haven't reached our goal yet by a
long way. But is it right to throw it
out because we've missed it the first
time?
"It does have the potential for getting
students to ask the provacative questions
before their senior year. We need to
put more work into it, but we must
begin somewhere. We don't want the
student to simply know how to do things,
but to somehow be in the process of becoming
- on the way to developing a
Christian world and life view."
New Campus
Serene,
Tranquil
by Beth Jacobson
Students searching f.or peace, quiet,
and solitude will find what they want at
the new campus in Arden Hills. If all
goes as planned, we will leave the cozy,
memorabie old campus and make the
move by next September.
No longer will we be able to walk
to Como Park or Har Mar. Those of
us without cars will probably at times
feel isolated from the rest of the world
and we'll need things to do to get our
minds off the books. It will be like
having our own private park. There is an
abundance of trees to clmb, hide, study,
and build tree houses in, and to hang
Tarzan or tire swings from. The ' campus
is just rolling with hills waiting to be
slid, skied, or log-roBed upon. The
football and soccer teamS' won't have to
feel bad about harming Eric's lawn because
they will have their own practice
field. Animal lovers will find themselves
surrounded by birds, squirrels, chipmunks,
rabbits, and the like. Swimmers
and ice skaters will come to appreciate
Lake Valentine.
Arden Hills is a beautiful, ideal place
for Bethel. Hopefully we will appreciate
the beauty God has given us 'along with
the new greatly needed buildings.
Bethel's New Freshman
Under the Microscope
by Caren Johnson
"Hey, where's your beanie?" mocked
the conceited upper-classman, as the
l'ed-faced freshman slipped off in the
other direction.
That is how the freshmen started out
their first week at Bethel, green topped
and timid.
This year's 366 freshmen number 68
students less than last year's freshmen
class of 434 students. Another interesting
note is last year's freshmen girlboy
count was 2 to 1. This year the
number is a little closer: 198 girls to
169 boys. (That makes it a little easier
on the girls.)
Of the hometowns l'eft behind, 179
students were from Minnesota and 175
were from out-of-state. Ten students
were from other countries: Mexico, Ethiopia,
Japan, Philippines, British Columbia,
West Africa and Hong Kong.
Now, the big question: what kind of
students are under those beanies?
President Lundquist gave his opinion.
"I am deeply impressed by the incoming
freshmen. I sense in them, generally, an
enthusiasm for the Savior and a concern
for the world He made. That, I
am sure will enrich the entire campus
this year."
Pastor Lawson expressed a similar
opinion. "Unless I become disillusioned,
I believe many have come with a positive
commitment to Christ. The prayer
groups and Bible studies got started
earlier this year, while in the past years
it has usually taken a couple of months
for the freshmen to know what was going
on. There is a stronger response to
Christian service than there was last

year. I think it's a great group."
A junior R.A. commented, "This freshman
class seems much more mature and
serious minded. They put less emphasis
on social life and the "Christian commitment
is much deeper."
In talking with a few freshmen, they
revealed their feelings about Bethel.
Many express appl'eciation at the Christian
fellowship on campus, and ar'e pleased
with their classes.
"The spiritual atmosphere and con·
cern people have for one another here
is great," commented one freshman girl.
Another girl remarked, "The only thing
that really disappointed me was that
social activities and social life are nil -
nothing, I don't think the college sponsors
enough activities for the weekend.
If you don't go home you've had it."
A freshman guy says, "I don't like the
complainers - mainly food and chapel
complainers."
Some students felt that freshmen initiation
said it well: "We are all one in
the Spirit" whether we be seniors, juniors,
sophomores or green.-beanied freshmen.
We are all one at Bethel.

Francis Schaeffer
Book Review
by Merilee Dyer
Why is the organized church so ineffective
in meeting the needs of an unhappy
world? How did the dynamic
force that was Christianity come to be
replaced by an irrational, unloving dogma
that failed to satisfy the world?
These questions richoceted through
my mind as I began to read Francis
Schaeffer's new book, The Church Before
the Watching World. During this decade
the evangelical church in America is
being stirred ,and , revitalized by the
Holy Spirit. Christians are realizing the
need to show the love of Jesus Christ
to their neighbors. In his book Schaeffer
has gone beyond the need for love and
concerned himself with the next step
in a Christ centered church - the need
for a pure church that practices observable
oneness and truth before the world.
Many of us who come to Bethel from
evangelical churches have little if any
concept of the "new theology" being
presented by such theologians as Barth,
Tilich, . and Dr. Tom J. J. Altizer; and
the resulting split it is creating in the
church of God. We, who will inherit the
church, God's spokesmen to the world,
have little if any understanding of the
emptiness and horror that confronts the
modern thinker.
Step by step, Schaeffer leads the Christian
reader into not only an understanding
of a split church but a compassion
for the people trapped by modern philosophy.
The answers , we have learned to pipe
at a "turned on generation" do not satisfy
the basic hunger of today's intellectual
community. "Just believe, just
have faith" is not satisfactory to a person
looking for truth; and it is' the
truth seekers who shape the ..thinking
patterns of the world.
With our lack of understanding, the
answers we give the watching world
are not only trivial but valueless. Fran-twelve
Imagine, an 8-week
Final Exam!
by Joe Morgan
Student teaching is like an eight-week
long final exam with plenty of introspective
questioning. '
Right now there are 41 student teachers
in Bethel's Education Department's
Secondary Education student teaching
program. They include Bethel's first
Physical Education major and a University
of Minnesota M.A. candidate in
History.
Most student ' teachers began their
semester in late August with teacher's
workshops in the schools where they
will be teaching. From the beginning of
Bethel's semester until Oct. 24, they
will be attending teaching methods classes
here. Tuesdays and Thursdays student
teachers will observe in the classrooms
of their schools. Starting Oct. 25, they
will be teaching full time until the end
of the semester.
Sarah Reasoner, Bethel's first P.E.
major, and an English major too, is one
of four student teachers from Bethel
at Murray High School in St. Paul.
"Student teaching is a chance to view
education from the other side of the
desk," said Sarah. "Getting into the
classroom helps you understand the difficulty
of teaching. It's great to try to
work out your own theory or philosophy
of education - in student teaching you
have gone a step beyond your position
as a student. The opportunities for a
Christian teacher to present the Christian
point of view should be ample,
for me esoecially in English literature
where religious themes are frequent."
Teaching history to grades 10 through
12 at Alexander Ramsey High School this
fall is student teacher John Cowan, a
1969 Bethel graduate and an M.A. candidate
at the University of Minnesota.
"Student teaching is exciting, definitely
not mundane," said John.
He says he feels that the biggest
challenge in teaching and the teacher's
primary task is to motivate the kids.
Many challenges and problems await
the student teachers. Merrie Swedberg
cis Schaeffer has attempted to illuminate
our idiocy and provide some answers,
different from the dogma which has
divided the church so tragically in past
centuries.
We, the organized church, are the
Bride of Christ. While remaining pure
as the Bride, we need at the same time
to show compassion to the world that
is watching us in confusion, and provide
it with answers that will satisfy
men's souls.
Dr. Runbeck talks with student
teacher Grace Trude.
anticipates lesson plans and discipline
as her two biggest headaches. Merrie
will be teaching at Murray High School
where she will have an additional problem,
that of teaching a mixed English
class of 10th through 12th grade students,
ages ,14 to 19 years.
"How do you reach them all?" she
asks.
The half-way status of a student teacher
is difficult to deal with for many education
students. They are considered
students by some ,and teachers by some,
and everyone expects them to do an excellent
job at both. They are trying
to be the kinds of teachers that they
always wished they could have had,
while at the same time they try to
find out if teaching is really for them.
Some question if there will be much
chance to exert Christian influence in
the classroom and among fellow faculty
members.
According to Dr. Junet E. Runbeck,
chairman of Bethel's Education Department,
"the student teaching program is
the most important part of the Education
Department's curriculum. This is where
the student really begins to use what
he's learned; he's putting his theories
into practice."

The pacesetting Tegenfeldt family is (I. to r. Mr. and Mrs. Herman
Tegenfeldt; Judy, John and Dr. Edwin Tegenfeldt.
Former Burma Missionary
Alumnus of the Year
The Herman G. Tegenfeldts literally
are a pacesetting family.
As Mrs. Tegenfeldt says, "My neigh·
bors tell me they can't keep up with all
the goings and comings at out house."
The last time all eight Tegenfeldts
were together under the parental roof
at 692 W. Eldridge (Roseville) was in
September 1967 when daughter Judy
was married.
"Usually we can get together -at least
once a year," Mrs. Tegenfeldt said. "That
is all of us who are in this country. But
lately it seems that someone is always
out of the country."
Mr. Tegenfeldt is now on the faculty
·at Bethel Seminary four years into a
new career of teaching missions. For 25
years, up to 1966, he was a missionary
in Burma under the American Baptist
Foreign Mission Society and was among
the last of the Protestant missionaries
to leave under the wave of nationalism
spreading at that time. Currently Mr.
Tegenfeldt is on sabbatical leave for
study toward a doctorate in missiology
at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena,
California.
Friday, Oct. 8, Mr. Tegenfeldt received
a plaque and was honored along with
his pacesetting f·amily at chapel in the
fieldhouse auditorium.
Mrs. Tegenfeldt was recognized for
teaching health and hygiene to Burmese
women.
Dr. Edwin Tegenfeldt, the oldest son,
is a medical surgeon and was honored
for his decision to become a medical
missionary.
He left the Twin Cities Sunday, '
October 10, with his wife 'and family under
appointment by the ABFMS to
practice in South India.
Judy was named a pacesetter for assisting
her husband in volunteer service
for the Navigators organization
three nights a week ata Naval Air Station
near Memphis.
Another daughter, Alice, isa Wycliffe
Bible translator in Nha Trang, Vietnam,
translating the Haroy language. She was
unable to be present . to receive her award.
A son, John, was recognized for spending
two years in Nepal with the Peace
Corps f.ollowing his graduation from
Bethel. He is now studying law at the
University of Minnesota.
Two other sons are, Paul, a sophomore
at Westmount College in California and
David, a high school student.
Among Mr. Tegenfeldt's accomplishments
in Burma are establishing the
Kachin Baptist High School at Myitkyirna,
directing erection of the Geis Mem~
moria I Church (seating 840) and publishing
a 2oo-page history of the Christian
church in the Kachin language.
One of his aims during his final period
of service in Burma as field secretary
for the Burmese Baptists was training
native leadership. When the missionaries
were forced to leave, no missionary
was in a top executive or admin-istrative
post. Asa result, Mr. Tegenfeldt
said, the Burmese Baptist Conven~
tion has functioned well and grown. He
cited figures from the Myitkyima district
available to him: 4,000 baptized' believers
in 1945 and some 15,000 in 1970;
20 ordained men in 1945 and some 64
ordained pastors and 39 evangelists today.
Mr. Tegenfeldt estimates there are
250,000 members in the Burmese Baptist
Convention today and 2,500 churches.
Tortured
Milan Haimovici
Lutheran pastor Milan Haimovici
spent eight years in Romanian
jails passing through
indescribable tortures. The
Communists placed him barefoot
on burning ·coals. He was
savagely beaten in the groin
and made to empty barrels
filled with the human waste of
thousands of prisoners with his
own hands. However, his faith
withstood all these trials. Even
Communist officers as they
spoke later about it, were filled
with such respect that they
took off their hats when speaking
about this living saint.
Thousands of Christian prisoners
died in Romanian Communist
jails. A complete account

Different Education
by Teri James
What could be the motives behind a
guy who goes out for football for the
first time in hiS' senior year of college?
One would expect perhaps a glamorous
idea of hoping to lead the team onto'
victory. Instead, after talking to Tim
Horn, I found a very down to earth 'guy
with a few unusual reasons for joining
a football team.
Tim, who has never played football
during his whole school career, decided
to go out this year because he wanted
to get the experience of playing before
he lost his last chance. He said that he
knew he would never be a star, but he
wanted to have the experience of "seeing
the other side of the story." "I also
wanted to get a chance to play with
my two younger brothers, Dan and
Dave," he explained.
Tim said that he enjoyed doing as
much as he could with them and that
getting to play with them on the team
was an added benefit. To the school it
might be kind of exciting to have three
brothers playing on the same team.
Tim Horn (left) talks with fellow
footballer Perry Johnson.
Tim has found out that football can
be a lot of work with plenty of frustration,
but it has its advantages also. He
said he felt he would alwayS' enjoy football
much more now that he realized
what the players were going through.
"There's more to football than getting
the glory - I understand that now. I'm
glad I got the chance to find out," he
said.
Adam Mann
Takes Form
by Teri James
Setting: A large, bare classroom with
r-ow after row of desks. In the back
there is a platform.
Time: October, 1971
Characters: Thirteen ambitious, hard-fourteen
working students and a good-natured,
enthusiastic director.
Action begins as three or four students
wander into the room -and one of
the girls goes over to a closet and pulls
out a few props to set on the platform.
Meanwhile the director has been quietly
leaning back in one of the desks. He
now sits forward to speak.
Director: Okay, let's go. Joy, you play
the part of Pleasure for now and Karl
you'll be Adam. ' ,
Rehearsals for the play Adam Mann
have begun. The actors play characters
with names like Power or Medicine.
Adam Mann is an innovative work that
could be considered a take~off on the
play The Hound of Everyman. It was
developed by the cast according to Mr.
Dale Rott, director. Mr. Rott wrote a
basic script. The students then acted
out the script, scraped or added lines and
helped shape the personalities of the
different characters.
The play is still not completed, but
the students are rehearsing anyway even
though they do not know how the play
will end. The actors each learn two or
three ' parts, so there will always be
someone familiar with the part in case
of absence. Mr. Rott also wants to be
able to rotate the parts so that each
presentation will be new. Feelings of
competition or envy could ruin the play,
but those who have the main leads have
already talked together and they think
they have worked their problems out.
Mr. Rott explained, "Each person who
has a lead character will be equal with
the others."
The performance of Adam Mann will
begin October 31st and will continue
every weekend through Nov-ember. The
play will ,be given at various churches
throughout the Twin Cities. Money raised
from these performances will help finance
the cast's trip to Europe during
Interim. Current plans are for students
to pay half of the approximate $8,000
needed, and Mr. Rott hopes the other
half can be raised through contributions.
In addition to the performances in
the Twin Cities and on the European
tour, Mr. Rott is planning to take the
cast to churches in the New York area
this Easter.
"If it clicks," Mr. Rott said, "we hope
to present either Adam Mann or a play
centering around the Easter theme."
Throughout this fall and winter, the
cast will have a busy schedule of rehearsals
and performances. Hopefully,
though, their exuberance will continue
to be as high as it is now.
Another long evening of rehearsals
has just ended. The setting seems rather
dismal for a -creative work, but it doesn't
seem to hinder the students who come
for three nights a week to practice.
Off Campus and Second Old continued
to dominate I-M football, as both posted
one-sided victories last Saturday. Off
Campus beat winless Pit by the enormous
score of 3~0. Second Old allowed
Third New to score its first touchdown
of the season, but still won easily 19-6.
In other games Third Old clobbered
Second New behind the quarterbacking
of Dean Erickson, and New Dorm beat
the stubborn Faculty 13-0, as Dale
Finch caught several passes.

Bethel's oft-frustrated soccer club had
another setback last weekend when the
Bethelites tried to tangle with the big
boys and came off second best - twice.
Facing mighty Northwestern Univsity
in the Platteville Tournament last
Friday, Bethel's physically and numerically
smaller club played Northwestern
to a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation
play.
After giving up an early score, Bethel
came back to score three goals, two by
Pete Genheimer and one by Dan Leafblad,
to lead 3-1.
Northwestern got a break on a bad
call, when they were awarded a penalty
kick. Bethel's fullback, having lost the
ball in the sun, allowed the ball to
"brush his hand" on the way down,
whereby the officials awarded Northwestern
a penalty kick which they converted
to a goal. The third goal was
scored on a break-away.
Northwestern scored a quick goal in
the first overtime period and Bethel
couldn't come back.
The next day, Bethel lost to a very
physical Greenville team 6-3. By the
end of the game, nine of the 11 Bethel
starters suffered bruised shins by the
Greenville squad. Bethel plays South
American style soccer with the emphasis
on technique and finesse. The bigger
Greenville team plays a European style
which emphasizes more passing and
more body contact. So the determining
factor of the game was not how well the
game was played, but on whethe,r or not
you could take out your man. The game
played in this fashion in not unlike
football.
The club plays St. Olaf in 'an away
game today at 3:30 p.m.
Despite not having much success in
the won-lost category so far this year,
Bethel's cross country team has shown
a lot of potential.
Most of the opposition this year has
come from schools much bigger than
Bethel. No conference dual meets were
scheduled this year. The Tri-State Conference
meet is Friday, Oct. 29, however,
and the Royal harriers should finish better
than the early season results would
indicate.
Royal runners lost to Hamline and
Golden Valley two weeks ago while
beating Gustavus Adolphus. Steve Whit-taker
took fifth in 22:46. Mark Anderson
was seventh in 22:55.
Last week, Bethel lost to Eau Claire
and a very strong Stout State team. The
course was five miles. Mark Anderson
finished fifth with 28:21, Steve Whittaker
was 9th with 28:40.
Mark Anderson, Steve Whittaker, Phil
James, Don Reed and Dave Peterson have
been leading the Bethel efforts.
Times have been improving throughout
the year for the Royal runners. For
example, Phil J,ames has cut his time
about two minutes since the beginning
of the year. He is now running the four
mile course in about 24 minutes.
Tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Como P.ark,
the harriers have another chance to show
their improvement at they face St.
Thomas.
With a performance almost as cold
as the frigid weather, Bethel's football
team dropped last Saturday's homecoming
game to Concordia 25·6.
It was a toss-up whether or not the
clouds were as dark as the faces of
the Royal players.
"I'm so dang' sick and tired of losing,"
said more than one Royal.
Despite the intermittent cold rain
showers, Bethel passed for 205 yards
on nine completions in 22 attempts against
Concordia. However, quarte'rback
Dave Pearson suffered four interceptions.
The Royals could gain only 20 y'ards
rushing. Bethel has not had a running
attack of any effectiveness since the
Sioux Falls game - the second game
of the year.
The only bright spots for Bethel were
long passes completed, one of which,
a 36-yard pass from Pearson to halfback
Mark Wood, resulted in Bethel'S' only
score. Each pass averaged about 23
yards.
Concordia scored two touchdowns in
the closing moments of the first half
to erase Bethel's 6-0 lead and gain momentum.
Penalties cost Bethel 77 yards - several
penalties coming at inopportune
times when Bethel appeared to have
the Comets stopped.
In a S'imilar situation two weeks ago,
the Royals blew a 10-0 halftime lead
and lost to River Falls 19-10.
Dave Asp returned a punt for a touchdown
and Ralph Gustafson picked up a,
fumble and ran it to the River Falls
four yard line to set up the other Royal
score. When the offense couldn't score,
Steve Voth, a soccer player in his first
appearance in a football uniform, kicked
a 30-yard field goal.
Tomorrow, Bethel will try to snap its
three-game losing streak in a non-conference
game against Eureka, away, at
1:30 p.m.
The Royals will play their third conference
game Saturday, Oct. 23, against
Huron in South Dakota at 1:30 p.m.
Bethel is now 1-1 in conference play
and 1-4 total won-lost.

The Hot Corner
by Rich Zaderaka
I'll be the first person to admit that I don't get extremely
excited about watching Bethel lose football games.
But I wish that everyone had the opportunity to listen to the
pre-game and halftime talks, and to share the sentiments of
the players and coaching staff after the game.
By taking part in this way, you are forced to feel part
of the frustration, but there isn't much you can do ·about it.
If you don't think the players really care that much about
winning, try telling them they'd be content to spend the winter
dreaming about their win over Sioux Falls. Better yet
tell them that you've seen the campus pop machines hit
harder than Bethel opponents have been. If you're lucky,
they'll only hate your guts for about a year. But as much as
you'd like to say something to motivate them to greater efforts,
all you can do is add to the frustration.
Those that hate you may learn to respect you when they
get to know you better. One or two, through their own ignorance
will continue to cling to their original impressions.
Fans can easily get depressed when the team they support
goes into a losing streak. But they can't feel half of what
those who are a p'art of the team feel.

Sometimes in an athletic event you "get a feeling" that
a certain thing is going to happen. This summer, Harmon Killebrew
came to bat in a game against Oakland and I got one
of those feelings. "390' blue seats in left," I said, predicting
a home-run. Three pitches later, Harmon hammered one 391
feet, into the blue seats in left. A few innings later George
Mitterwaldcame to bat. "390' blue seats" I ventured, remem-bering
my earlier success. .
"If he hits one to right you'll look like a dummy," said
Brad Larson. Mitterwald hit one 386 feet into the green
seats in left. I should have known - Vida Blue was pitching.
What a dummy!

One sport which has not gotten any spectator support this
year is cross country. Every remaining meet is at Como Park
- just a short walk away. If you've never run, let me assure
you that your support is very greatly appreciated. The next
meet is Saturday at 11:00 A.M.

HOMECOMING
CORONATION-A big success from my standpoint. I feel
that we made the role of HOMECOMING
Queen respectable again.
GENE COTTON-A really great concert. Too bad that
only about 400 people came.
SPEomUM -A huge success for turnout .... a real
disappointment for ·a program. The program
failed due to lengthiness, misunderstanding,
technical errors, and poor
planning.
*I've just completed making a deal with Warner Bros.
for films this year - In coming months we will be showing
Camelot, My Fair Lady, Bullit and of course a John Wayne
flick.
*Who was it who said: "Girls are like street cars - you
miss one and another will be along in five minutes."
*Rumor has it that Joel Goff has ordered 15 sets of shin
guards for the soccer team for next year's game with Greenville.
This week's film suggestions:
Bamby Hits The Road
Danny Orlis; Cowboy
Sugar Creek Gang Starts A Rumble
*Rumor has it that some girls in Hagstrom were singing
the Hallelujah Chorus when HOMECOMING was over.
*Believe it or not . . . . Stanley Anderson (philosopher)
has said a few funny quips of humor in class. Dr. J. Whittinger's
testimony song is "Hail To The Chief."
