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? Brenda Barth Class of 1973 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.

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. by Joe Morgan 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 danger of it) and the curse of boredom. Lord God of Sabbath) Send us all the peace and rest) enjoyment) fun) the sweet intensity of eternity to steady us through the changing times. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus) Amen. Calvin Seerveld five Paul's 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. *THIS WEEK IN PHILOSOPHY: Stanley Anderson in a discussion of Aristotle proved that acorns do not yield Oldsmobiles.

"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. Education and Youth in Suburbia was one of the Symposium's seminars that discussed the problems of suburban society. seven education for their children that will lead directly into a career, Mr. Bragg said. 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 "Today there are fewer people avail. 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.

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 on~y for its artists but for their message. 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 be bndged when the created is reunifed wifh fhe creafor.

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. 1 at noon. Bring your own lunch!

E.L.H. Taylor nine Former Missionary Replaces 'Doc' by Louise Laakso "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.

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.

La'rpenteur - St. Paul- 646-4114 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. NOW OPEN!

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.

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. Steve Jergenson receives an elbow in the face against Concordia. 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. fifteen 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? sixteen The Hot Corner by Rich Zaderaka Frosh Harrier Steve Whittaker has been the best individual performer for the cross country team in the last two meets. Whittaker was the individual winner of the Winona meet although the team lost 22-39. Mark Anderson took fifth with Last Saturday, the team placed second in competition 22:51. against Macalester and Gustavus Adolphus. Whittaker ran the four mile course in 22:08 for a fourth place finish. Mark Anderson placed sixth with 22:58. The remaining runners all recorded their best ever times.

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? Brenda Barth Class of 1973 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.

FDr almQst ten years nDW people have 'been expressing their discDntent with the American invDlvement in SDuth East Asia.

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. by Joe Morgan 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 danger of it) and the curse of boredom. Lord God of Sabbath) Send us all the peace and rest) enjoyment) fun) the sweet intensity of eternity to steady us through the changing times. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus) Amen. Calvin Seerveld five Paul's 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. *THIS WEEK IN PHILOSOPHY: Stanley Anderson in a discussion of Aristotle proved that acorns do not yield Oldsmobiles.

"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. Education and Youth in Suburbia was one of the Symposium's seminars that discussed the problems of suburban society. seven education for their children that will lead directly into a career, Mr. Bragg said. 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 "Today there are fewer people avail. 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.

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 on~y for its artists but for their message. 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 be bndged when the created is reunifed wifh fhe creafor.

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. 1 at noon. Bring your own lunch!

E.L.H. Taylor nine Former Missionary Replaces 'Doc' by Louise Laakso "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.

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.

La'rpenteur - St. Paul- 646-4114 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. NOW OPEN!

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.

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. Steve Jergenson receives an elbow in the face against Concordia. This is field hockey's fifth year at Bethel, and Carol Morgan's fourth year as the coach.

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? sixteen The Hot Corner by Rich Zaderaka Frosh Harrier Steve Whittaker has been the best individual performer for the cross country team in the last two meets.
