Bethel Choir to Perform
With Minnesota Symphony Orchestra
by Merilee Dryer
Bethel's Choir singing with a major
symphony? An Evangelical choir? Amaz­ing
as it seems, the Bethel Choir has
been invited to sing Nov. 4 with the
Minnesota Symphony Orchestra.
As Dr. Berglund said, "We are delight­ed
to accept."
Since the beginning of school the
choir has been preparing for this honor.
They will be performing the "Harnasie"
by Szymanowski. The plot behind the
music concerns a band 'of robbers high
in the Carpathian mountains. The
leader of the band has abducted a love­ly
bride 'as she and the country folk are
celebrating her wedding. The music
itseU is a collection of songs and dances
sung by the robber band.
"The music isn't hard," Dr. Berglund
remarked, "but it is loud and high. It is
hard to keep up there on top of the
music through the entire performance."
The choir will need to produce a qual­ity
sound with lots of volume. They will
be singing with a full orchestra, and no
sound system to help them over the
rough spots. To aid the choir, Dr. Berg­lund
has introduced a new group in
the music department, the Alumni
HetltellorJlJl1
To the Editor:
What is the reason for electing a Nik
Dag king? I find mysebf at a loss for a
valid answer and would appreciate help
from a credible source. Perhaps this
source could help me with some other
puzzling questions.
Why must we, as members of the body
of Christ, repeatedly focus our atten­tion
on individual members of the body?
Must significant social events such as
Nik Dag be synonomous with a king or
queen? On what basis 'are individuals
who bear this title chosen? Most im­portant,
how does Bethel benefit by rec­ognizing
a king for Nik Dag?

Ohorale. The Chorale consists of forty
members, all of whom have sung in the
Bethel Choir in past years. Combined
with the concert choir they make a hun­dred
and ten voices. Even after the Nov­ember
performance, Dr. Berglund hopes
and plans to continue the Chorale.
Another important feature of the per­formance
will be the coming of Andrzej
Bachleda, Poland's leading tenor. He
will be coming from the Warsaw Sym­phony
Orchestra to sing the Szymanowski
number with 'Bethel Choir. The Nov. 4
performance will include three parts:
Mozart, Brahms and Szymanowski. Next
March the choir will ag,ain be ~inging
with the Symphony Orchestra. Then they
will accompany the orchestra in all three
parts of the concert.
"The choir is not nervous" Dr. Berg­lund
said, "just really psyched up for
the performance."
"It is so .. 0 .. exciting," said soprano
Joan Nyquist, "I get goose-bumps just
thinking about it."
More than just music has been prepar­ed
for the symphony concert. The guys
have had to be fitted into tuxes and all
the new girls in the choir have had to
make long black formals.
Letter to the Editor:
I have noticed some people at Bethel
becoming very weary of the Clarion,
particularly Bob Miko's column. Over­heard:
"It's nothing that I haven't heard
since I was 'a kid. If I want a sermon,
I will go to church."
All right, people, if you want a sugar
coated Sunday religion, well, then you've
got it. But Bob is saying something diJf­ferent.
He is saying all of life is reli­gious,
that God is the Creator of all
things, and that all of life is either lived
serving Him or serving Moloch-there is
no neutral ground. If you have heard
this all your life, why haven't you gotten
off your pews and taken God's call for
the reconciliation of life seriously? It is
because of our collective disobedience
that God has been poorly honored.
Bob has been saying that we have ac­cepteda
Christian-coated educational
' A few years ago, the Bethel Choir
sang with the Minesota Orchestra. Then
they did "The Passion and Death of Jesus
Christ according to St. Luke," by Pen­derecki.
The number was performed in
their trip to Europe that year. Because
"Harnasie" requires a full orchestra, the
choir will not be able to take the num­ber
to Europe as part of their repertoire
during Interim.
The Orchestra gave Bethel 1,000 tick­ets
to sell to the students here on cam­pus.
The price through this package
deal is only seventy-five cents a ticke,t.
All the tickets for this coming perform­ance
and the performance in March
have been sold out. Tickets for other
concerts at this low price are available
from Mr. Whitinger. Tickets for the con­cert
in November are still available at
the orchestra ticket office, 106 Northrop
Auditorium, and at Day tons. The tickets
will be $6.00 and $7.00 'a piece.
Bethel Choir has been honored by this
invitation from conductor Skrowaczew­ski.
It is an opportunity for Bethel stu­dents
to be a witness to the world; and
the choir is highly appreciative of the
honor.
life that is secular to the core. We've
bought the American Way of Life with
all its political options 'as the Christian
Way of Life. Worst of all, we have re­duced
the Body of our Beloved Savior
to an individualistic, personal and pri­vate
affair involved only in "soul" win­ning,
while letting the Body of Human­ism
reign united everywhere, but in
church on Sunday morning. Humanism
has developed a concrete approach and
a well worked 'out theoretical base for
sociology, psychology, history, politics,
etc. Why don't we? And if you say we
do, then you do not understand.
Some students from this and other
campuses are banding together to see
what has been done in the area of Chris­tian
scholarship and to see what can
yet be done. If you are interested, leave
a note in P.O. 878. If you are not, why are
you here?

I wDuld like, as is the custDm Df all editDrs this time Df

NDV. 6th Peace ActiDn Day. FDr almQst ten years nDW peo­ple
have 'been expressing their discDntent with the American

"People have tried everything ... now, by elimination,
they're coming back to God. The hope for our nation and the
world rests in a great spiritual awakening!"
So, recently, said Dr. Bill Bright, who foresees such an
awakening.
EXPLO '72, a Campus Crusade for Christ International pro.­ject
will take place in Dallas, June 12-17, 1972, and Bright
hop~s that more than 100,000 students and adults will parti­cipate.
The conference, called "The International Student
Congress on Evangelism," will launch a strategy to "train
500,000 people during 1972 for a spiritual explosion across
America and around the world," according to Campus Crusade
President Bright.
Eighty per cent of the delegates will be college and high
school students. The other 20 per cent will be faculty
laymen, internationals, servicemen, pastors, professional ath­letes,
executives, and Christian leaders. The general purpose
of EXPLO '72 is to train students and laymen :to share their
faith in Christ , to experience the .a bundant Christian li.f e,
and to learn a strategy to reach theIr campus or commumty
with the claims of Christ.
With 100,000 delegates invading Dallas for five days, much
has needed to be done about housing, busing and meal ac­comodations.
Already Campus Crusade has about 85 per cent
of the hotel and motel space reserved for miles around, and
is working with churches and colleges to provide additional
lodging. Camping sites will also be available for those- who
prefer the out of doors to a motel room.
Chartered air lifts from every major city in the United
States are being planned and will cut transportation costs
considerably.
The August issue of Holiday Inn's national magazine gave
extensive coverage of EXPLO '72. They will also be contribut­ing
financially in cut rates on rooms ,and meals and will be
donating bus transportation within Dallas.
On Saturday afternoon, June 17, busloads of Christians
from all over the Southwest will join EXPLO delegates for a
mass rally in a natural amphitheater just outside of Dallas.
There, an expected 250,000 Chrstians will hear Billy Graham
and Bill Bright in the finale of the five days.
Staff members from Campus Crusade for Christ will be on
Bethel's campus during Nov. 1-5 to explain in more
detail what interested students can expect at EXPLO, and how
to register.

Bethel will not receive a 6.5 million dollar con­struction
loan from the Connecticut General Life
Insurance Company.
Without this loan the construction on the Arden
Hills site will only be able to continue through the
closing in of the three academic buildings, which will
be sometime this December.
Efforts to get a different loan have not stopped.
Right now there are several possibilities. The recently
created Minnesota Facilities Bonding Authority is
one. It is a State of Minnesota agency designed to
aid Minnesota's private colleges in campus construc­tion
and relocation. President Lundquist recently
contacted Governor Anderson about this and Governor
Anderson has said that the members of the Facilities
Bonding Authority will probably be appointed within
the next two weeks. _
Foundation grant and gift possibilities are being
sought, too, with the hope that some will materialize
before Dec. 31. The administration is still look­ing
for a buyer to purchase the present campus.
The executive committee of Bethel's Board of
Regents will meet soon to discuss and pray about the
loan problem and various solutions.
When asked if he was optimistic about the con­tinuation
of the college relocation project, President
Lundquist said, "Yes! The Lord has been leading us,
almost pushing throughout this entire project."
Lord God of all Time)
We pray) make our moments full of love to thee.
Teach us who are hurried and busybody the worth
of patience and the sanctity of leisure.
Teach us who idle away time the unloveliness and

Proposed Peace
plans Peter
by Paul Swanson
Note: The following article is hopefully an unbiased attempt
to describe the events which occured at Bethel College on
Moratorium Day, Oct. 13, the events leadng up to the activities
on that day and the activities which were planned for that
day but for one reason or another did not take place.
Oct. 13 was a day proclaimed and endorsed by all
peace organizations and many national leaders and organ­izations
as Moratorium Day 1971. At Bethel, the self-appointed
Moratorium Committee (consisting of myself 'and anyone else
who was interested and from here on referred to as "we")
hoped to use this day as a time to arouse the Bethel com­munity
toa new awareness and intellectual understanding
that the war in South East Asia is not over, that pacifism is
a misunderstood and often not thought of alternative, and that
it is the obligation of Christians not only to pray for peace
and the salvation of the world (both idealistic and unattainable
Christ), but to do something about it. With these goals in
mind, we hoped to dedicate a chapel on that day to emphasize
our unity in Christ despite our differences. We had hoped
to have the Colloquim class on that day devote their time
discussing these issues. We had hoped to have a panel dis­cussion
in the afternoon on the subject of "Civil Disobedience
and the Christian." And we planned to set up a table in the
coffee shop to provide informative literature to whoever was
interested.
For chapel, Dean Virgil Olson and Dr. Al Glenn, because
of their non-partisan positions and high esteem among the stu­dents,
were asked to speak on "The Sanctity of Life" but were
not available to do so. At this point it was suggested that, be­cause
of his wide background in this area of thought, Bill
Carlson be asked to speak. Soon, however, unfounded rumors
were spreading about a "conspiracy" to "disrupt" chapel. Mean-
. while, Pastor Lawson contacted three potential speakers to
discuss the subject "Peace: the Christian Concern" in a: way
to bring us together rather than divide, but they were unable
to speak. Feeling that "chapel is the g,athering each day of
our community to worship God and to reaffirm its unity in
Christ," and that "it is not proper that the worship service be
given over to the support of one side or the other," Pastor
Lawson expressed concern that to have Bill Carlson speak on
this day was "too political" for this purpose. Pastor Lawson
said he felt that to devote a chapel service to the Moratorium
would be a commitment of the institution to this cause and
that he did not feel he had the authority to do so. He also
offered to cancel chapel on that day in favor of a convocation
but time was short and regretfully no action was taken in
that direction. It was then decided that the best course
would be to conduct chapel on that day in the usual Wednes­day
fashion. All that was left of our plans were the few minutes
of silent prayer dedicated to display our unity in Christ which
we hoped in vain would carry us through a day of indifferences.
In another area, a petition was circulated and signed by
30 freshmen students requesting that all the freshmen meet
for Colloquium on Oct. 13 in the gym for a large group panel
discussion on the Moratorium and related subjects. However,
six
the Colloquium staff felt that large groups had not been suc­cessful
in the past so they suggested that "position papers" be
written stating both sides of the issue for use in small group
discussions, but we had neither the time nor the resources
to do so.
Concerning the panel discussion on civil disobedience, we
felt that not enough work had been put into it for it to be a
reasonable success, so it was postponed until Nov. 4, at 3:30 p.m.
in Room S3.
All that was left was our information table. However,
having heard of our disappointments in the areas of chapel and
colloquium, Dr. Dalton volunteered to write a short paper
designed to provoke discussion and concern to put in the usu­ally
empty P.O.'s'. Our purpose for the table and paper was not
to indoctrinate but to stimulate serious thought and to promote
discussion.
A secondary objective of the Moratorium at Bethel was
to point ahead to the climax of the fall anti-war activities
scheduled for Nov. 6. On this day thousands will gather
at the University of Minnesota campus at 11 a.m. to pro­test
U.S. military involvement in South East Asia. At noon
they will walk down University Ave. to the State Capitol.
Transportation for Bethel students will be arranged.

Symposium Exercises Minds
by Judy Harrington
Last week's suburbia symposium was
a time for examining the symptoms of
America's metropolitan ills and search­ing
for their roots.
"No longer ... is it correct to talk
of America's growing citieS', as many of
us still do," said Alan K. Campbell, Dean
of Maxwell Graduate School, Syracuse
University, in his luncheon address.
"Rather, our attention should be con­centrated
on the impact of a suburban
society on America's economic, political,
and cultural character."
The Oct. 20 symposium, entitled "Sub­urbia:
Understanding, Ordering and Im­proving,"
was held at the Arden Hills
campus from noon to 8 p.m. It was at­tended
by an estimated 150 people from
the Twin Cities area and was co-spon­sored
by WCCO Radio and the Minnesota
Private College Council.
The day's main speakers were Dr.
Campbell; Scott Donaldson, Associate
Professor at the College of William and
Mary and author of The Suburban Myth;
and Victor Obenhaus, Professor of Chris­tian
EthicS' at Chicago Theological Sem­inary.
A list of 48 resource leaders,
comprised of local businessmen, clergy,
educators, and community leaders, was
gathered for seminars and panel discus­sions.
Seminar topics covered such as­pects
of suburbia as housing, govern­ment
structure, the role of the church
in the community, education and youth,
physical environment, and family prob­lems.
Dr. Don Larson, Professor of Lin­guistics
and Anthropology here at Bethel,
served as panel member in the "Family
and Community in Suburbia" seminar.
Though he said he gained some new in­sights
from the symposium, there 'are
several things Dr. Larson wished could
have been changed.
"My whole view of the dichotomy of
urban and suburban problems was chal­lenged
through the symposium," he said.
"Still, I felt somehow that the whole
thing lacked focus. At least in the work­shop
sessions I attended, the seminars
were not structured so as to derive the
maximum benefit from them. It might
have been better had there been a way
to coordinate the topics of the speakers
with the seminars - if somehow the
problems of suburbia could have been
defined more precisely and addressed
more directly.
"I also would like to have seen two
more dimensions added to the sympo­sium:
that of industry, which has a tre­mendous
investment in suburbia; and
Dr Alan Campbell spoke in chapel in the Symposium's convocation
service.
that of student involvement. Because of
the way in which the symposium was
set up, Bethel students were largely
unable to attend."
One problem with the symposium,
according to Dr. Obenhaus, was its pre­occupation
with parochial concerns.
"Everyone seems at this point to be
still too close to their personal situa­tions
to look at suburbia's problems
with any overview," he said in his eve­ning
summation.
The primary purpose of the symposi­um
seemed to be mainly a brainstorm­ing
session, bringing together as many
experts on suburbia as possible, making
each facet of suburbia ,aware of the
others' problems.
"I wonder," said Dr. James Mason,
Associate Professor of Speech, who also
attended the symposium, "if this isn't
still the time to theorize. I think the
quality of the people we had there was
great. Dwight Jessup did a good job of
organizing it."
Mr. Jessup, IBethel professor of poli­tical
science and coordinator of the pro­gram,
seemed fairly pleased with the
way it went.
"It's hard to evaluate a symposium
of this kind, but I think it went real
well," he said.
One concept of suburbia mentioned in
several seminars was that of collective
guilt for running from the city's prob­lems
and seeking security in the "af­fluence"
of suburbia - "The Great Es­cape",
as Dr. Oampbell put it.
Such was the subject of Scott Don­aldson's
evening address, "The Suburbs:
Must They Plead Guilty?"
"Let's lower our voices and stop cal­ling
each other names," he said.
"The time has come, not for collec­tive
guilt, but for collective responsibil­ity."
Beginning Nov. 15, WCCO Radio will
begin a series of follow-up Open Mike
programs on the problems of suburbia.
They will be aired after the 8 p.m. news.

Why Did 68 Women Mr. Bragg also commented that there
will be fewer and fewer high school
seniors in the coming years. The "baby
boom" children are now beginning to
taper off. There are simply less college­age
people than five years ago. fall from Sethel?
by Marshall Shelley
Bethel has 49 fewer new students
this year.
The entire drop came among women.
Male students increased by one in 1971-
from 185 new males to 186. Women,
however, fell from 266 new girls in 1970
to 198 in 1971 - a drop of 68 women.
Enrollment fell from 1107 last year to
1044 this fall. The number of new stu­dents
dropped from 458 to 409, even
though more students were accepted
this year.
James Bragg, director of admissions
and financial aid, indicated that the
problem has no simple answer.
Last year (1970), Bethel was one of
the few colleges in the Midwest that
realized an exceptionally large increase.
"We got 50 students more than we
anticipated last year," Mr. Bragg said.
"We should have had last year what
we got this year, and this year what
we got last year. Then we should have
experienced the normal stair-step in­crease."
Bethel also put less money into the
admissions effort than its "sister col­leges."
Augsburg has five full-time men
in admissions, for instance, while Bethel
has one full-time person in admissions
besides Mr. Bragg, who also handles
financial aid. Bethel pays $104 per new
student in admissions while all the
other schools are over $200, according
to Mr. Bragg.
"The administration as yet hasn't re­alized
the importance of scrambling for
students. This is partially my fault for
not convincing them," he said. '
The new curriculum also may have
had a detrimental effect on new enroll­ment.
The program undoubtedly has
been confusing to many, especially to
those unfamiliar with Bethel.
Bragg also expressed concern over
"a fragmented approach to present­ing
Bethel's image." Bethel's athletics,
drama, music and other departments
all do their own publicity. This must be
coordinated, according to Mr. Bragg.
"I have already presented a plan to
the administration for pulling together
all the aspects of public relations," he
said. "We must communicate the warmth
of Bethel's atmosphere. Our students
sell this place. Somehow we must com­municate
this to prospective students."
Another factor in the enrollment drop
was that less financial aid was available
to freshmen this year. The same amount
of money was available as every year,
but more was needed by returning upper
classmen.
"Had we had another $60,000, we
could have had another 60 people," Mr_
Bragg remarked.
Financial aid averages $1,000 per per­son
to those who need it.
Last year's mail strike hindered mail­ing
and might have affected the enroll­ment.
Even now, catalogues are some­times
a month in the mail.
The problem might also have a phil­osophical
side. Many parents are more
vocationally minded today. They want an

able to go to college, other colleges are
working harder to get new students, plus
there isa general de-emphasis on col­lege
education. The economy is
going completely wild and parents are
losing their jobs and young people this
summer were not as able to find em­ployment..
There are many factors. It
is going to take an all-out institutional
effort to get new students," Mr. Bragg
said.

Many Bethel students have read
the books of Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer
and heard about L'Abri, his interna­tionally
famous shelter in Huemoz, Swit­zerland.
Now a part of CAbri is coming
t? Bethel: CAbri Ensemble, starring
singer Jane Stuart Smith, violinist Fran­ces
Kramer, and pianist Carolyn Raffen­sper~
er .. C Abri E~semble will be per­forming
In Bethel s seminary chapel in
Arden Hills at 8 p.m., Nov. 6. There
will be no admission fee.
Jane Stuart Smith was rising in the
opera world when she found Christ at
L'Abri. In Detroit, Michigan, and Ven­ice,
Italy, she was a Chinese princess in
the title role of "T urandot." She also
sang in Milan, Palermo, Cairo, Athens,
and Vienna. After leaving L'Abri she
continued to rise, becoming famous in
both the United States and Europe. At
the end of two years, though, she sudden­ly
gave up her opera career and joined
the L' Abri fellowship.
There she teamed up with Frances
Whitlock Kramer, an outstanding violin­ist,
and pianist Carolyn Raffensperqer.
Mrs. Kramer, together with her four
children, had gone to Huemoz to study
under the world renowned violinist Jo­seph
Szigetti. Miss Raffensperger has
been teaching piano at River Forest,
Illinois, and accompanying members of
the Oak Park Civic Symphony.
The L'Abri Ensemble is unique nof

This message IS that man's creative
gifts given to him by God and his alien­ation
from God are expressed in music.
Their .point is that alienation can only

"Togetherness is the most important
factor in this production," says the dir­ector
of "A Day in the Life of Ottoman."
Together with 13 performing Bethel
students, Faye Kulbitski Casey will pro­vide
noon-time entertainment on
Nov.!. Anyone interested is invited
to this inexpensive entertainment at the
Other Space Theater on the University
Campus.
"A Day in the Life of Ottoman," is
directed by Faye Casey, a former Bethel
student presently studying at the Uni­versity.
It began as a class assignment
for Faye to gather and direct a cast in
a one-act play. Student thespians for
the production come from Bethel speech
classes.
Obscure but symbolic, "A Day in the
Life of Ottoman" is an original compo-sition
of Steve Brachlow, a ' former Sem­inary
student. Hate, power, and fantasy
are several of the varied human ele­ments
represented in the play. The act­ors
find themselves searching together
for the buried meanings in their roles.
"There is no main character," said
Faye, "every part is of equal signif­icance."
"This is the type of play one must
see to grasp its full meaning," stated
one of the characters.
However, the theme is clearly set
forth: "The kingdom of God is not a
matter of talk, but of power."
The Other Space Theater, located be­tween
14th and 15th streets on Univer­sity
Ave., is the place to be for dramatic
entertainment of unusual flavor on Nov.

Replaces 'Doc'

"Women should have opportunities
to do what they would like. In America,
they are not educated to be housekeep­ers,
though I do not necessarily mean
they are not educated to be wives and
mothers," said Mrs. Jeannine Olson.
"I also feel," she said "that investing
your life abroad, if possible, is important
because of the great need in many for­eign
countries."
Mrs. Olson
Mrs. Olson has put both of her theor­ies
into practice. The mother of a boy,
age two, and a girl, age five, she is
now teaching Survey of Modern Euro­pean
History in place of Dr. Roy Dalton
who is on sabbatical leave. She spent
the past three and a half years with her
husband, Dr. Norman Olson,as a mis­ionary
in Cameroon, West Africa. While
there, she observed and learned.
Concerning the place of American
women as compared with that of African
women, she said, "In America, women
are always searching to find their role
in life, while in Africa women don't have
to worry about their role. They have . a
very important role, and do not have to
seek it."
While she motorcycled and hiked into
the backlands of the country, Mrs. Olsen
carefully considered life there.
"Everybody is poor," she said, "but
people seem happier there than here. The
hospital situation is more stable there
also because when a person is sick, his
family is right there taking care of him."
She also indicated that loneliness is
not as frequent in Africa as it is in this
ten
country, because of the communal life
which keeps people involved with each
other.
In the U.S., Mrs. Olson believes, women
often cut themselves off from others,
while in Africa women are not isolated
during the day. She thinks part-time
work is ideal for young mothers in
America.
Mrs. Olson received her B.A. from st.
Olaf College where she majored in both
history and political science. Later, she
received her M.A. in European History
from Stanford University. She has also
done course work at the University of
Minnesota toward her Ph.D.
Writing and teaching are her most im­portant
interests, and she did both of
these while in Cameroon. There, she
taught history to the children of Amer­ican
missionaries, and English to Afri­cans.
During this time it was found that
a history of the church was needed. So
Mrs. Olson, who finds writing "intellect­ually
challenging," wrote it "because
it needed to be written." The book,
geared to the African reader, is in
French, and will be published this year.
Mrs. Olson enjoys the interaction in­volved
in teaching. Comparing African
students with American, she finds the
Africans much more competitive and
more highly motivated.
Mrs. Olson would like to go back
to Africa, and she would like to finish
work on her Ph. D. Meanwhile, she in­tends
to continue teaching while her
husband is studying to become a special­ist
in internal medicine.
Depression
Fight Leads
To Rockgut
by Mark Steward
Occasionally, academic pressure and
life in general may cause even "better"
college students to become depressed.
While depressed, they may consider
quitting school (no more school, no more
books, no more teachers' dirty looks),
or switching majors. The student's prob·
lems can usually be boiled down to one
question: Why am I paying hundreds
of dollars for the privilege of becoming
depressed?
I had one of those "anti-intellectual"
depressions last week that included the
typical symptoms such as hatred of
books, spiteful skipping of classes, and
devout television watching.
After beginning the day by scalding
myself with hot tea and sleeping in the
library (during which I drooled on my
book "Language in Culture and Soci­ety"),
I was not in the mood for putting
up with Prof. Don Larson's anthropolo­gical
speculations in his "Man, Language,
and Culture" class. By the end of the
hour my head was swimming with mor-
Dr. larson
phemes', phonemes, culture, cross-cul­turalisms,
semantics, syntactics, didac­tics,
pragmatics, dogmatics (not to men­tion
Larson's dramatics)_
I decided my situation was ridiculous
and asked myself who got me into this
anthropology major mess. The answer
to my question was very simple: old
Rockgut Larson had gotten me into this
mess. This realization led me into the
final step of true college depression. I
criticized my advisor.
I decided it was time for action and
ran up to that cozy corner of the second
floor of the Old Seminary Building,
where that anthropologist, Larson, hangs
out. (I was careful to approach quietly
so as to catch him unawares and I open­ed
the door quickly, as they do on "Drag­net"
and caught him by surprise).
His right hand man, Shades Correll,
was with him, but it didn't matter be­cause
I had the jump on them. I attack­ed
immediately with a barrage of ques­tions,
but was clever enough to seem
calm, cool, and coldly calculative. (One
must realize that anthropologists are
on the look-out for cultural deviants).
"Okay you... you . . . anthropolo­gists,
what are you doing around here?
What sort of monsters are you? Do you
enjoy luring students into the irrelevant
field of anthropology? So I have a degree
in ancient bone-picking or Samoan cul­ture;
what good does it do me?"
Larson replied, "Anthropology is the
study of man adapting to his environ­ment.
The anthropologist looks for the
cultural significance and meaning in
everyday events because every human
event or action has significance; nothing
never happens.
"The anthropologist's domain is as
broad as the scope of human affairs.
Stereotypes of the bespectacled anthro­pologist
scribbling madly in his notebook
as Africans cooked him in their big iron
kettle may have had some basis in the
early part of the 20th century, but an­thropology
has grown since then and
doesn't deserve such a stereotype.
"Technology is shrinking our world
and ethnic group contact is increasing.
While culture tends to divide peoples
because it emphasizes differences, the
anthropologist emphasizes the sameness
of people. He says people differ widely
but not wildly, and this is an important
contribution because the more we un­derstand
man's similarities, the less
fighting and more talking we will do."
Correll took over and said, "Through
observation and participation the an­thropologist
documentS' the values and
structure of a culture and reveals its
inner mechanisms. Cross-cultural com­parisons
give the anthropologist a deep­er
understanding of man's innovative
capacity and help him to see the work-ings
of his own culture. Understanding
culture can make us more aware of our
motivations and enable us to discern
our true interests."
That was fine and dandy but I knew
I had them with my next question,
"What about a job? Who in their right
mind would hire an anthropologist?"
Larson answered, "I believe a liberal
arts education teaches you how to go
about living and finding solutions to the
problems of adapting to an environment.
If you take the 'liberal' in liberal arts
to imply liberating the mind from the
grips of culture, anthropology is special
amongst the liberal arts. The anthropol­ogist
must also be an inter disciplinarian
because he uses many of the other lib­eral
arts in his science. He is the scien­tist
that sticks his nose in all the other
scientists' tents. This qualifies him for a
number of occupations'."
Then I asked, "How is anthropology
supposed to help followers of Christ?"
Larson said, "The Christian is called to
befriend or have compassion for all men
and anthropology can help us better
understand the 'other guy's' background
and what his problem means to him.
By learning what 'help' means to him
we can give what we have to offer and
'scratch him where it itches.' Ifhat is
important to any Christian who comes
into contact with another culture, be it
in the United States or abroad."
Blanche Niks
Homer at Last,
Hurray!
by Dawnelle Kramer
Well, back at the ranch, alias Edgren
Dorm, Homer has his own thoughts con­cerning
Nik-Dag. If you thought it was
tense with Blanche & Co., it is nothing
compared to the ,agony each Edgren male
experiences. The suspense as to who
will ask them is the main theme of their
conversations.
Bull sessions are held more frequent­ly
-than usual, their sole purpose being
to discuss strategy. Excuses are pre­planned,
a telephone answering service
is arranged, and one definitely does not
walk alone -always in a pack. This
year a specIal "garter" system was ar-ranged
and if one did not want to be
asked he could buy his own garter. But
deep down Homer and every other guy
wanted to at least be asked. Even if it
was only to report to the guys.
The dog had barked on Monday, Oct.
25, and the race was on. All techniques
were working as planned 'and it was a
quiet Thursday with a normal chapel
service, or so Homer thought. IBut Hom­er
was not aware of the perserverance
and boldness of his future Nik-Dag date.
And sitting in the top row of the bleach.
ers, he felt comfortable and secure
among his buddies.
"Oh, brother! Announcement time," he
thought. Suddenly he heard his name o­ver
the microphone.
"Homer, Homer Throckmorton? I
know you're here!"
"Good grief! It's Blanche!"
And she was saying: .. "Homer, will
you go to Nik Dag with me?"
As Homer sank down in his seat, there
was a general commotion near the top
of the bleachers and the crowd began
chanting, "We want Homer! We want
Homer!"
At this, Homer's buddies bodily car­ried
him down the steps and stood him
in front of Blanche.
The crowd quieted. What could he
say but, "Yes."
The ap,plause was deafening; not only
that but they stood to their feet. Homer
could feel his already red ears getting
redder. And when Blanche proudly
slipped her frilly pink garter over his
arm, he knew he had been caught.
It was over! Now all he had to do was
live through the real thing.

"One of the main causes of trouble in our freshman
colloquy classes has been a lack of real communic'ation," said,
Dr. James Mason of the Speech Department, a colloquy
teacher himself.
In an effort to alleviate the problem, he took drastic
measures.
On Friday, Oct. 15, Dr. Mason's class had an all-night
party, held in the speech house. It started at 9 p.m. and lasted
until 6 a.m. Saturday morning. The students had no idea what
was going to happen, or what the real purpose w~s.
"My main hopes," Dr. Mason explained, "were that the
group would (1) experience interpersonal relationships, (2) de­velop
a willingness to share, (3) dare to be honest with each
other, (4) discover their individuality and group unity, and
(5) move past verbalization, into the non-verbal language."
At first everyone was puzzled as to what was supposed
to happen, according to Dr. Mason. Some were fearful, others
just curious.
The first activity was a bubble gum blowing contest. This
was used to loosen the kids up, create a relaxed atmosphere,
and st,art things rolling. The rest of the activities ranged from
running around outside to having communion. They played
many different games designed not only to be fun, but to
break down communication barriers as well. The games them­selves
gave the students more or less of an excuse to share
their feelings with each other.
One of the games helped the students to know their Prof
a lot better. A small group of kids and Dr. Mason .took a deck
of Rook c'ards, shuffeled them, then set them face down in
the middle. Each person drew a card and whenever someone
drew a green card, the group could ask him (or her) any ques­tion
they wished.
"I turned out to be fairly good at drawing green cards,'''
Dr. Mason remarked, "so I ended up answering quite a num­ber
of questions: how I met my wife, how I proposed ... "
The group divided into groups of five each, three times
during the night for discussions on things like their communi­cation
problem in class, their home church, family, and how
they related to each. To keep up their strength during the
night, they had pop (kept cool in the bathtub), potato chips,
cookies, brownies, pretzels, and the like. They also sang folk
songs with guitar accompaniment.
The highlight of the gathering was the communion ser­vice.
Everyone sat in a large circle. A piece of bread was pas­sed
around, and each person broke off a piece and passed it
on, as Dr. Mason said, "This is the body of Christ broken for
you ... " Then each one received a cup of grape juice, sig­nifying
the blood of Christ. As the cups were passed clock­wise
around the circle, individuals said anything they thought
appropriate to the person on their left.
twelve
Dr. Mason
Through the games and discussions, the students discover­ed
how each one of them was an individual, but also how,
despite their differences, they could have group unity.
"I think this was mainly the result of the dynamics of the
group and the Spirit of Christ working together," commented
Dr. Mason. "One other thing I hope they learned was to forget
the student-teacher relationship, and think of me as one of
them."
Some of the kids couldn't quite make it through the night
without falling asleep, so they took steps occasionally to wake
everyone up. For example, they took a run up to Larpenteur
and back in the middle of the night. Eunice Siebelist had a
race with Dr. Mason for one block and said, "Dr. Mason's a
pretty fast guy, but I still beat him!"
Dr. Mason has studied group dynamics and has had sensi­tivity
training courses at the Universi.ty of California at Santa
Barbara, so the "party" was partially an experiment of his.
He did not have a set agenda, but rather let his plans run
loosely. He entered the experience with prayer and prepara­tion.
Emerson explains to Bob Miko that flaws
in diamonds are often impossible to detect
with the naked eye. Such flaws, which can
only be detected with a "diamond scope,"
can greatly reduce diamond value. Know the

This type of experience would not work for a group much
larger than twenty,according to Dr. Mason. When there are
two people, there are two relationships. When there are ten
people, there are forty relationships. As the group gets larger,
the number of relationships increases even faster. For this
reason, the inter-personal re1ationships that this group ex­perienced
would not be possible in a group much larger.
The party seemed to be a big success wth many of the
students.
"We were in one room together for nine hours and were
given the chance to get to know each other better. It was a
super -fine party," one said. '
Kaye Mulder thought it was timed perfectly - the middle
Qf the semester was the best because they knew a little about
each other ,and were not perfect strangers, as they would've
been had the party been held at the beginning of the semester.
"I think the students are hoping that the relationships of
trust, openness, honestY,and love developed in our class will
carryover to others rather than isolate them into a clique," Dr.
Mason said.

Dean Gordon Johnson (1) and se.m,inary librarian David
Guston admire a 17th Century volume received from
Deighton and Bell, a centuries-old bookseller, in England
recently. It is entitled ONE-HUNDRED AND TEN DIVINE,
CONSIDERATIONS, by the. reformer Juan de Valde's.
The book was originally written in Spanish and ,trans­lated
into the Italian in the 1550's, according to Marvin W.
Anderson, associate professor of historical theology, who found
the volume while in Cambridge on sabbatical last year.
Anderson said this volume', identified as the Carnbridge
edition of 1646, is considered the best English translation
although there was an Oxford edition in 1638. The Cambrid~
translation was made from the Italian by Nicholas Ferrar.
Anderson said the Spanish and Italian editions were
"early works in the' vernacular" on the theme of justification
by faith and exerted "great influence on the revival of Cath­olicism"
in the 16th Century. ·
The works of Valdes were put on the Index, according
to Anderson, and his followers were sought by the Inquisi.
tores and persecuted.
A chapel program at the seminary today recognized ac·
quisition of the volume. Dr. Anderson gave a brief address.
The volume was accessioned into library holdings as the
50,000th volume.

My Daughter
Married
Flip Wilson?"
by Beth Jacobson
Two members of Bethel's debate team
brought back two trophies last weekend
from the tournament at Omaha. Fred
Ogamachi, freshman, took second place
in original oratory, while Dan Nelson,
sophomore, took second in impromptu.
Dan's topic was "What If My Daughter
Married Flip Wilson".
The tournament was open, and in­volved
fifty-two schools. Bethel had four
teams, each composed of two people.
They stood in the middle with a 3-3 win­loss
record. Their topic was, "Resolved:
That greater controls should be imposed
on the gathering and utilization of in­formation
about U.S. citizens by govern­ment
agencies."

schools from all over the country
and will be many events other than de­bate.
Alas, sinful nation,
People weighed down with iniquity,
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who act corruptly!
You have abandoned the Lord,
You have despised the Holy One,
You have turned away from Him.
Where will you be striken again,
As you continue in your rebellion?

Climaxing the 1971 cross country sea­son
for Bethel will be the Tri-State
Conference meet today ,at 4 p.m. at
Como Golf Course.
The big meet for us is the Tri-State
meet" Steve Whittaker said, "we 'are
reall~ getting psyched for that one."
In the two meets last week, each of
the Royal runners equalled or bettered
his previous best time, so Bethel is
looking forward to the final competi­tion
of the year.
Winona beat Bethel 24-38 Oct. 21,
but Bethel's Whittaker took first
place, his second individual win of the
year. Mark Anderson, Phil James and
Don Reed also finished in the top 10.
In last Saturday's triangular meet,
Bethel lost to Macalester but beat Gus­tavus
Adolphus 21-40-78. Two of Mac­alester's
runners broke the Como course
record. Whittaker placed fourth, An­derson
sixth, James ninth, Dave Peter­son
10th, and Reed 11th.
Next Saturday, Nov. 6, the Bethel
harriers will participate in the NAIA
District 13 meet at Como.
"Our goal for next year is to mise
$1,000 by June. If we get it, we will be
the best team in the state," said captain­coach
Steve Voth of Bethel's makeshift
soccer club.
"We aren't even going to ask for var­sity
status, just the $1,000. If we can get
any money at all we'll be able to bring
Ibijara de Oliveira, a Brazilian, up to
coach us," Voth continued.
This year's record was 5-2-1, a better
record than either of Bethel's two var-

sity sports, cross country and football.
With all but two players returning
and a full-fledged soccer coach who
really knows his stuff, according to the
guys on the team who know him, the
soccer club could really look for a lot
of success in the years to come.
Last Tuesday, the team finished its
season in a 1-1 tie with Pillsbury.
"They were a rough team," said half­back
Dan Leafblad.
Bethel has been "out-physicalled" sev­eral
times this year. The smaller Bethel
club has been forced to try to win with
finesse because of the lack of size on
the club.
Playing with only 10 men in the sec­ond
half and missing three starters,
Bethel ripped Concordia 5-1. Dan Ander­son
was ejected f.or fighting, Leafblad
broke his glasses and couldn't see to
play, and Joel Goff had to leave at half
to pray at a dinner. Even without the
fighters and the pr,ay-ers, Bethel was
able to score again for the 5-1 win.
Bethel beat favored St. Olaf 3-0 in
st. Olaf's homecoming game.
"We probably played our best game
of the year against st. Olaf," said Voth.
Hoping to break a five-game losing
streak, Bethel's football team faces
Northwestern of Iowa tomorrow in a
conference game to be played at Midway
Stadium at 1:30 p.m.
If the Royals are going to win, they
will have to develop some kind of of­fense.
The Bethel offense has not scored
in four of the seven games this season.
Last week, against Huron, the Royals
had -4 yards rushing as they lost 24-0.
Bethel was also shut out the week before
21-0 by Eureka.
Bethel was penalized over 85 yards
in each of those games.
The Royals are now 1-2 in conference
and 1-7 overall. Next week they will face
Dakota Wesley,an in another conference
game at Midway Stadium.
Some people think women only stay
home and do constructive little things
such as cooking, knitting, and clean­ing.
But there are at least twelve women
here at Bethel who add spice to their
lives by playing field hockey.
Field hockey is a game which has lots
of action, involving quick reactions and
a great amount of running. It is played
with sticks and a small ball, on an area
about the size of a football field, the
rules being similar to those of soccer.

This is field hockey's fifth year at
Bethel, and Carol Morgan's fourth year
as the coach. There are five returning
players: Jeanne Westwater, Sarah Rea­soner,
Jean MacNob, Kathy Head, and
Lynn Dreesen. Carmen Shepard, Bette
Larson, Trish Swanson, Kathy Spence,
Eunice Siebelist, Shirley Dishinger, and
Holly Reed comprise the remainder of
the team.

UFootbal1 -- nothing but
a Roman Spectacle"
In the Bethel Clarion of November, 1956, the following
editorial eppeared. It is interesting to note how little
times have changed as old problems come back to haunt
us. In the next issue of the Bethel Clarion, we will dedicate
the whole issue to the role of sports on a Christian campus.
I hope that this editorial will move you who read it to
write a letter to the editor expressing your views on Bethel
sports.
((Football is nothing but a Roman Spectacle." This
was a casual comment made by a professor at the Univer­sity
of Washington. I at first took the statement with
little afterthought. But the next Saturday at the football
game when the University was entertaining U.C.L.A.
that statement set me thinking. Midway in the game
the going became tough for the U. of W. With little hope
for victory, the game became a contest of retaliation on
the part of the Huskies for their humiliation at the hands
of the Bruins. The students in the stands, with nothing
more to cheer for, began to chant ((We want blood!" over
again and again. Whenever an opposing player was in­jured
a big cheer went up from the students. The players
had given them blood.
As I sat in the stands, watching and listening, I could
not help thinking that this was a complete debasement
of the game. But then doubts began to spring up in my
mind concerning the very nature of the game itself. My
thoughts wandered back to the days when I played foot­ball.
The days when I was taught all the little tricks;
the times when we were told to gang up on a good player
-((to roughen him up!" The times when the coach showed
how to hold on to an opposing player, illegally, without
being seen by the ref; or the psychology of jolting the
opposing linesman, upon first contact, as hard as possible
so as to soften him up-an elbow in the face, a knee in the
ribs and all the rest - ask any player.
But we did not have to be told these things, they came
to us almost instinctvely. They make up the unwritten
law of football. Victory for a team without using such
means is almost unheard of. It's expected of an opposing
team to use these methods and tricks. Even Christian
teams and individual players stoop to use many of these
'unchristian' methods whether told to do so by the coach
or not. The very nature of the game-the desire to win,
split-second decisions, hard hitting body contact, instan­taneous
reactions-blind the player, dragging him down
to the bestial level.
Often Christians will have prayer before a game and
then go out on the field with the intent to playas unto the
Lord. But rare is the Christian whose Christian-like atti­tude
remains with him once in the game. No, it changes as
soon as his opposing lineman whacks him in the face
with an elbow. The immediate impulse that enslaves the
mind is retaliation in some form or another. If enacted
upon, which is usually the procedure, we then have a per­sonal
dual going on between the two-a survival of the
fittest."
As much as I loved playing the game I can't help rais­ing
two questions,' Is it spiritually healthy for a Christian
to participate in football for no other reason than for the
glory and love of the game? Is it spiritually healthy for a
Christian college to support a sport, which is by its very
nature antagonistic to the ideas and principles of Christ?

the first game is only three weeks away. The Royals open on
their home court Nov. 20th against Lea College. The
