Student Government
works thru student-faculty
committees for change
by TOM BILLIGMEIER
Student government is involved in many things which
are of benefit to the student. One of these is participation
in student-faculty committees. These committees are com­posed
of faculty members and students appointed by the
President of the Student Association (subject to theap­proval
of the Senate) who have an equal vote with the
faculty.
The Student Body President tries to place at least
one senator on each committee, and then any other student
who desires to serve is considered and placed on the com­mittee
of his choice at the President's discretion. The stu­dent
members then meet regularly with the fa cuny mem­bers
and either handle business brought in from the com­munity
or evaluate policies for which they are directly re­sponsible.
There are twelve committees in which the Senate par­ticipates,
and most of them maintain in their membership
an equal balance between students and fa;culty. Before
the purpose and importance of the committees are discussed,
though, a brief description of each is in order:
1. Admissions-advises the Director of Admissions re­garding
applicants and reviews policies governing ad­missions
in tune with the objectives of the college.
2. Athletic-coordinates intercollegiate and intra-mural
athletic activities with the educational objectives of
Bethel. It also works with the Physical Education de­partment
in matters which are related to athletics.
3. Chapel and Spiritual Lite-reviews spiritual life on
campus and ways to enrich it. It also guides in the
planning of chapel worship in order to stimulate spir­itual
growth on campus.
4. Communications-works with those responsible for
campus publications (Clarion, Coeval and Spire) and
WBCS in seeking to carry out the basic Christian com­mitments
of the school, and encourage excellence in
content and design.
5. Educational Policies-reviews the college academic pro­gram
and recommends improvements to the faculty.
6. Financial Aids-oversees the allocation of financial aid
to students so that they may enter Bethel and remain
through graduation. They determine policy regarding
all student aid.
7. Food Service-works with the food service managers
in evaluating the quality and production of meals and
makes suggestions for improvement.
8. Pre-Medical Advisory-acquires necessary information
concerning placement of those in the Pre-Med. program.
9. Special Programs-approves all academic programs
taken by students that are not in the regular schedule
of courses. Their main emphasis at present is placed
in Interim and enlarging the number of areas for
concentrations and cognates.
10. Student Academic---oversees the the academic progress
of all students, the chief purpose of which is to give
warning to those with low grades, and to place on aca­demic
probation those whose grades remain.
11. Student Personnel-serves as an appeal committee for
students who wish to appeal a decision of the Dean of
Students office. This committee can override a deci-sion
of the Dean. ' .
12. Teacher-Education Advsiory-evaluates the Teacher­Education
program and serves as a liaison with the
entire faculty.
As can be seen, these committees apply to almost .every
aspect of the students' life .at Bethel. Student Government
attempts to involve itself in as many matters as would best
serve the students, and operates in ways to protect the
welfare of each. By participating in the committee program,
Student Government has a large influence in the changing
of old and instituting of new policies on which the school
functions, thus serving the welfare of the student on an
administrative level. And it is because of this that much
emphasis is placed on participation in the committees. Also,
with student-faculty Icommittees it is not necessary for a few
students to confront faculty or administration in the heat
of emotion regarding what seems to be an infraction of
their rights, which many times are conjured up behind
the walls of the dorms or in small cliques (often times be­gun
by a rumor). Rather, the ideas can be presented to
the committee where rational discussion considers both the
students' suggestions and those of the powers that be. In
this way, insight is gained on the issue from both sides -
from the faculty and administration with experience and
knowledge of past decisions and methods, and from the
students who may also have the proper experience as well
as new ideas and approaches to problems - and the idea
of community is enhanced rather than that of "lords and
subjects." Not all suggestions or gripes entertained by the
students are accepted, just as not all suggestions the ad­ministration
makes to the Board of Regents are accepted,
but the fact remains that many are. So, the importance of
the committees to the student lies not in how much ,change
can be brought about, but in the meeting of students and
the "powers" on equal ground and coming to a rational de­cision
which satisfies both.
The above, then, is a descrpition of the student-faculty
committees and their purpose and importance. Whether
or not they are useful or important is up to you, the com­munity
(administration, faculty, staff, and students), since
it is for your benefit that they exist. StUdents should seek
out their senator(s) or any officer of the Senate with their
suggestions or gripes which will be forwarded to the proper
committee for discussion. Student Government as well as
student-faculty committees are here to help you, so instead
of harboring grievances, use the proper channels to make
them known.

Three weeks ago The Bethel Clarion ran an editorial from
the 1956 Clarion, depicting the "evils" of football. The purpose
of said editoria.i. was, hopefully, to get some letters to the
editor voicing opinions on football or sports in general to be
used in this issue, which is dedicated to sports at Bethel. As
you can see, response was negligible.
This type of response could lead to any number of con­clusions,
one perhaps being that the Bethel Community doesn't
read The Bethel Clarion, and another that maybe nobody cares.
With that in mind, I address my column to "Should Bethel
Dump Football?" To those who don't read The Bethel Clarion,
it won't make much difference, and to those who don't care,
it probably will mean less. It is those of you who are left, if
any, whom I would like to confront.
All across the nation, the value of sports, especially foot­ball,
is being questioned. The New Left is claiming that sports
are the breeding ground of competition. Competition breeds
hate and creates the desire for a person to assert his physical
or mental superiority over his fellow man. This condition, it
is alleged, prevents a player from being able .to empathize with
his brother human beings. According to the New Left, compe­tition
learned through sports, grading systems, the capitalistic
way of life, etc., are the causes of the ills of America today.
Not so radical was an article in the November issue of
Campus Life. The article stated that "schools should sponsor
only those sports that can still be played when the kid turns
fifty. Most athletes are either washed up or crippled by forty;
and ordinary guys at that age can barely make it from the
TV chair to the refrigerator." It goes on to read, "Why not
teach sports we can play five years from now - maybe shuffle­board
.... "
Sports Illustrated ran a story last week on a football coach
who was hired by a college to lose football games. The school
felt that football had lost its meaning. "If we can pull a joke
off instead of scoring a touchdown, we will," said the coach.
The replacements come unto the field via bicycle and leave
the same way. I should think that would make for an interesting
game. The coach regret ably admitted that "last season's record
four
was 3-30." Oh, well . . . you can't lose them all.
But what about Bethel7 .
How does football fit in on our campus?
Is it worth the financial burden?
Is football only a "toy" for expensive colleges?
Does it benefit the majority of students?
Does football conflict with the Christian life style?
Can the Bethel community cope with the problems which
come with losing?
These are some of the questions running around inside my
head these past four weeks. These questions I put to my fellow
students in numerous rap sessions. We came to the conclusion
that football was not for Bethel. That Bethel should dump
football because football is too much of a liability to the school.
Besides, look what it was doing to the campus ....
On Monday, at the urging of some of those to whom I had
spoken, I went, reluctantly, to see Chub Reynolds, the head
coach of football. I went away impressed by the love he showed
me as one who was trying to take away his job. He told me
about the sport of football which I, and probably some of you,
had never realized or appreciated.
"Bethel needs football."
You've got to be kidding ... why?
"On the field a player must face adversity. He learns
that he must face his opponent with his whole committed self,
come rain or shine.
"Football is life.
"Football teaches a man discipline: I look around at the
students on this campus and I see very little discipline.
"Football will bring more men to this campus. Right now
there are too many girls. . ..
"Only iI'\ football do eleven men all depend upon each other
to do their jobs, all at the same time, the coordination .... "
At this point, into my mind sprang the example of the
Body of Christ. How we are all interdependent upon one an­other,
yet, we never learn to act as one. We seem so hung-up
on trying to be men and making it on our own.
Chubs went on like this for an hour, .telling me about his
life ... football.
I feel that a lot of us have judged Chub's work too quickly.
He's only been with us for two years. He brought hope, maybe
we were expecting miracles. It takes four years for a team to
mature into a strong unit.
Also, perhaps we have been what is commonly known as
"fair-we ather-friends." If you're winning, then count me as
a friend ... if you're not I never knew you.
Is it any wonder that there's cheating in a game in which
the fans put such a premium on winning?
Maybe we as fans and non-fans have done more to make
Bethel into a losing football team, by our lack of confidence
and enthusiasm, than any of the mistakes that were made oii
the field during the whole season.
I only hope that next season we can give Chubs and the
football squad our support, letting them know that we are all
behind their efforts whether they win or lose.
Coming up next ... equality - truth or myth?

This year's gQal was a winning fQQt­ball
team. CQach ReynQlds tQld why
this didn't happen and what he expects
fQr the future.
"We're nQt satisfied with Qur pro.­gress.
We set a gQal to. be a winning
fQQtball team. That gQal WQuid have
been PQssible if a number Qf things
hadn't happened. Number Qne, we had
tQo. many injuries," he said.
This seaSQn the RQyals had six Qr
seven starters that were injured.
AnQther factQr is the team's YQuth.
It is a predQminantly freshmen­sQphQmQre
team. "Bethel's fQQtball team
averages less than sQphQmQre in matur­ity
and we're playing teams that average
juniQrs Qr better. They are much
mQre physical, Qlder and mQre exper­ienced,"
CQach ReynQlds said.
He suggested a sQlutiQn to. the prQb­lem
Qf IQsing.
"We need to. mature mQre, we need
to. get mQre depth and this is gQing to.
take a fQur-year prQgram Qf recruit­ment.
I think it's gQing to. take a
little mQre patience," remarked Chub.
At Bethel the recruitment has to. be
a little different frQm other cQlleges.
The athletic department makes an all-Qut
effQrt to. get Christian fQQtball players.
They send letters to. every high schQQI
cQach in the state Qf MinnesQta and ask
fQr recQmmendatiQns. They also. get
recQmmendatiQns frQm ministers in the
CQnference, alumni and frQm fQQtball
players themselves. Last year, the de­partment
was in cQntact with Qver 300
players. Sixty players went thrQugh ad­missiQns,
applied and were accepted. Of
the 60, 18 ended up playing ball. As fQr
the athletes getting financial aid, Chub
said, "Our athletes are Qn aid accQrding
to. need just like every Qther student at
Bethel."
"The year when these present SQph­QmQres
are senJQrs, and the year after
that, we'd better IQQkat Bethel fQQtball
and say, 'have we prQgressed Qr have
we regressed? ' Then I think that we'll
have a right to. evaluate whether fQo.t­ball
has succeeded o.r failed," he said.
"Playing fQQtball, whether yQU win Qr

I am tired Qf hearing: "I wish they'd

Qr, "This Minnesota weather is a real

There is no. ball and chain to. hQld

To. the EditQr:
I cQmpletelyagree with the editQrial
Qf 1956, that fQQtball is barbariQus. It
has to. be, beYQnd a dQubt, the mQst sav­age
game since the cavemen chased their
WQmen arQund with clubs.
It's hard to. understand hQW a civilized,
prQgressive sQciety CQuid cQndQne such
brutal, inhuman, heathenish, pitiless, and
nQt to. mentiQn unchristian, violence.
Why just the Qther day, I witnessed Qne
Qf thQse murderQus QccasiQns and, as
time was running Qut, the cQach, a us­ually
warm human being, was carried a­way
by the emQtiQn Qf the mQment. He

Is there a
place for sports
at Bethel?
by Beth Jacobson
How vital is the sports program to
Bethel? Is it really worth all the money
sunk into it? What has happened to the
lack of spirit? These are three big
questions which have come up at Bethel
this fall.
Joey Healy is a senior at Bethel who
claims to be the school's "most enthu­siastic
female sports fan." Joey will
graduate with a double major in
Christianity and Philosophy this sem­ester,
and hopes to continue in graduate
studies at the University of California
at Santa Barbara next year. She feels
sports are an important aspect of life
at Bethel.
"So often we take all the efforts of
the guys who participate in sports for
granted," Joey said. "The hundreds of
hours put into it and their attitude
toward the physical development of
one's body for the honor of Christ really
deserve our respect.
"The role of sports at Bethel has been
cut down and chopped into little pieces,
especially football. It seems like we
are failing to appreciate our Christian
brothers. They don't brag about their
average work week of twenty-two hours.
How many of us even spend that
much time studying? Sports can be an
important way to help us gain that
feeling of togetherness. When we're all
cheering for our guys it's bound to
happen."
A different view is expressed by
Hugh McLeod. Last year's Student Body
Vice-president, Hugh spent last summer
with the Student Missionary Project. He
also has served asa member of the Ar­den
Hills Human Rights Commission.
"As far as the sports program being
worth the money - I don't think that
with the financial situation that we're
in, that we can justify spending the
money it takes to make football a var­sity
sport," Hugh remarked. "There is
no question that we have a good coach,
and that the team is making great
strides, but our priorities are such that
the money could be better spent in
building up the general academic qual­ity
of the campus.
"Some schools can justify the expend­iture
- it more than pays for itself in
gifts and donations by alumni who are
wealthy and enthusiastic sports fans,
and this is not the case at Bethel."
Hugh said he felt the money could
six
be better spent on academic scholarships.
"Bethel has no major scholarships des­ignated
for academic excellence that
aren't strictly based on need," he ex­plained.
"Our first and foremost priori­ty
must be to raise our academic stand­ard
of excellence and encourage stu­dents
to achieve in their studies by fin­ancial
reward."
Joey Healy commented that she would
like to see greater school support behind
Bethel's sports teams. "Have you notic­ed
how often the people who complain
about no social life are the ones who
rarely bother to attend sports events?
It seems like some of us are looking for
things to complain about," Joey said.
Junior Perry Johnson, a Royal line­backer,
was named recently to the Tri­State
All Conference Defensive Team.
Perry commented, "There Is some lack of
spirit which comes from the losses but
I definitely feel that the team has been
making great progress. If varsity foot­ball
were done away with and replaced
by intramurals, the intramurals still
wouldn't make up for it. Even if some
students feel that sports are unimportant
to a small school such as Bethel, it is
important at least to the players them­selves."
Perry explained that he would never
have come to :Bethel if it hadn't been
for the varsity football team.
'Sports educational,
help Bethel' -- Glader
by Marshall Shelley
"I have no problem justifying sports
on the basis of the tuition money it
brings in," said Dr. Gene Glader, Beth­el's
athletic director and chairman
of the physical education department,
"but there are educational values in ath­letics
that are more important than
that."
"Athletics attracts students who
wouldn't be here otherwise. There is
evidence that possibly 70 to 80 per­cent
of the athletes wouldn't be here
except for our athletic program," Dr.
Glader continued.
Bethel now has about 125 athletes in­volved
in varsity sports.
Varsity athletics, Dr. Glader com­mented,
provide a chance for above
average or "highly skilled" athletes to
realize fulfillment or self-actualization
they couldn't get otherwise. It
gives athletes a chance to strive for
their limit which they couldn't do in
intramurals because intramurals are no
real challenge.
Bethel has more women than men
now and wants more men. Athletics is
one way of attracting men.
"I would hate to lose the 60 or 70
men who are here primarily for the
athletic program," said Dr. Glader.
All sportS' complement each other,
according to Dr. Glader. Each sport
strengthens the entire program because
it attracts more athletes to the school.
"If we lose football, for instance, we
might lose as many as 50 athletes a
year. This would hurt our entire pro­gram,"
he said;
Dr. Glader disagreed with the senti­ment
expresS'ed in a re-printed editorial
in the last Clarion. "Football-Nothing
bU'ta Roman Spectacle," was an unfor­tunate
stereotype of football, lleclaimed.
Football is still a game,and you can't
have a game without a desire to win.
This desire is not wrong.
"When you engage in an activity out
of a Christian commitment, you have a
higher motiva1ting factor than when you
do it out of selfish motives," remarked
Dr. Glader.
He continued, "A lot can be taught
through sports. In a game there are cer­tain
rules to play by, and in life there
are certain rules and laws that you just
can't ignore. If you stress hard work
and winning by staying within the rules,
this will be carried over to real life."
There is little satisfaction from get­ting
an 'A' on a test by cheating, Dr.
Glader explained, '1nd it's the same way
in sports. The greatest fulfillment or
satisfaction comes from winning fair­ly.
Sports also develop the ability to rise
above obstacles and continue to go on
despite setbacks.
"Sports are more like real life than
we often realize," Dr. Glader said.

There they learned who their twinkles

by Caren Jo~~son
Happiness is a twinkle, according to
the girls on third old in Bodien.
A "twinkle" is someone who does
good deeds for some lucky girl on her
floor for ,an entire week. The deeds
are done secretly and, oh, so cleverly!
Strange girls came knocking on doors
all last week, asking if a roommate (her
twinkle) was in. If she was gone, this
strange girl would come dashing in and
make ,her twinkle's bed or leave her a
surprise on her desk. (A cactus would
you believe?)
Some girls couldn't keep a secret and
forgetfully signed their names to their
supposedly. anonymous notes. Most
twinkles grew very creative and made
edible goodies.
The twinkles found P.O. boxes very
useful for placing candy bars, gum, little
books, cheer notes and helpful Bible
"It ,was fun to do good deeds for
someone else for a change," a girl re­marked.
"I think we should do it every week,"
replied another.

Student Body President
sees people behind problems
by Joel Goff
The new campus, Bethel's academic
standard, 'the Chapel-Convocation dis­tinction,
and the new grading system,
are all areas in which I have strong feel­ings.
In this column, which I was asked
to write for the Clarion, I wanted to
critically evaluate all these concerns.
In an effort to clarify my own ideas, I
sought out one of my close friends the
other day and we talked over the
whole business of constructive criticism.
He made two comments which I think
are very appropriate to our situation
at Bethel.
The first of these was that so many
times when we criticize we look only at
the issues and not at the personalities
involved. How many of us, and I include
myself, consider Coach Reynolds and
the players when we cut down the
football team because they don't win as
many games as we feel they should?
Or look at the new campus; now that
the going is getting tough we start to
question if the school should even move
out to Arden Inlls. Yet how many of
us knows the hours spent in considera­Honand
prayer before the decision was
made? Do we stop and think ,that
God may be testing us to see how much
faith we have in Him when things are
not going the way we expect them to?
The second comment my friend made,
and one that I think is more important,
is that our criticism may be pointing
to something a lot deeper than we think.
I see within my own life the tendency
for criticism to go in cycles, depending
on the time of the year. As' school pro­gresses
and assignments build up, my
attitudes towards school and other ac­tivities
that I am involved in begin to
change. My devotions begin to mean
less and sometimes become for,­gotten
as my time becomes "too valu­able."
This will maybe last for a week
or two and then God hits me with
something and snaps me out of it. This
time it was writing this article. Other
times it has been a much more painful
experience.
If you find yourself going through
this period of criticism, try looking at
the personalities involved. But more im­portant,
look at yourself and see if the
criticism should maybe be aimed at
you instead.

Opportunity Winter:
cross country skiing

When you are tired of the tyranny
Oppressive Winter and his campaign to
confine you to the buildings men, Risel

Where, you ask?
Out!
You can defeat Oppressive Winter
with his own weapons: Snow and Cold.
This is what Cross-Country skiiing is;
turning oppressive Winter into Oppor­tunity
Winter! Opportunity to use snow
and cold for enjoyment rather than
cause for cursing. Opportunity Winter,
Cross-Country skiing opens up a whole
new season of recreation. On Cross­Country
skis all the state and national
parks and forests and wildlife refuges
are yours to enjoy. Golf courses be­come
(nearly) private playgrounds.
And they are yours to use free; no
admission.

last year_
Everyone enjoyed the week and
thought it should be done every year

it helped to meet· and get to know the
girls whom they before had only greeted
with "Hi" in the halls.

skis which are not frequent. You
can get all new equipment (skis, ski
boots, bindings and ski poles) for as
little as $40 or as much as $100. And if
you have reached your full height and
your feet don't get any bigger you could
have a Cross-Country ski outfit that
would be skiable for the next 20 years.
(No, that's not a guarantee!)
If you think Cross-Country skiing is
only for the superman with the endur­ance
of ten "ordinary men" you are
right-so far as Cross-Country racing is
concerned. But the Cross-Country ski
hikes or tours that the average person
goes on are not that demanding. And
if you are adventurous you can combine
Cross-Country skiing with winter camp­ing
and go on a "Wilderness Canoe Trip"
- on skiis of course.
Como Golf Course is a fine place to
ski when there is snow. It has open
easy terrain and enough variety to keep
your skiing interesting. Plus there's a
warming house available for those cold­er
January days.
Bethel's new campus is situated in a
very good spot for Cross-Country skiing.
There is much undeveloped land in the
immediate area which would make fine
skiing. The new campus grounds them­selves
are good skiing now and have
lots of potential for short ski trails.
If you are of Scandinavian stock you
can count Cross-Country skiing as a
major part of your historical heritage
You Finlanders should know that much
of the defense of your ancestral country
against the Russians was done on Cross­Country
skis. And you Swedes, have you
ever heard of Gustavus Vasa? He skied
53 miles in one stretch to lead his
countrymen in their struggle for inde­pendence
in 1520. In 1523 he was
crowned King of Sweden.

Hot Fudge Sundae
Club hopes for large
expansion -- heh, heh
by Mark Steward
The Hot Fudge Sundae Club may
have a meeting Friday, Nov. 19, accord­ing
to the club's treasurer, Dean Lind­berg.
Lindberg, with former Bethel stu­dents
Larry Ostrom (club president),
and Jack Parker (substitute president),
helped establish the club in the fall of
1970 and has served as treasurer since
then. The president ,and substitute pres­ident
could not be reached for comment.
The club's purpose is threefoldac­cording
to Lindberg. "We want to in­crease
appreciation for hot fudge sun­daes,
promote ' 'fellowship, and answer
student inquiries," he said. "We want
students with intellectual capabilities
but don't like to discriminate against
those that aren't tops. Actually, one
doesn't even have to be a student to
join because our basic requirement is
open-mindedness. We want people that
aren't hung up on limited clubs like
Spanish or French clubs where you need
to be proficient at a foreign language.
Our membership drive isn't in full
swing yet, but we already have a couple
of new members this year."
Lindberg continued, "I want to make
one thing perfectly clear: we like hot
fudge sundaes and hope other people
do, too."
The club's special goals this year,
according to Lindberg, include "a little
expansion but we don't want to get as
big as other clubs. We hope to get
rid of student apathy. We don't have
any special speakers or film presenta­tions
scheduled as yet but we're always
hoping for a windfall."
Describing his responsibilities as
treasurer, Lindberg said, "I keep track
of the dues, do secretary work, and
answer inquiries. We had good response
after our initial calendar announce­ment
but then things slacked off and we
haven't had -any inquiries for awhile."
When asked if the club helps build
character, Lindberg answered, "Not 'es­pecially."
Dues are lOc a week according to
Lindberg, "but they aren't too impor­tant;
it's like your church offering - if
you don't put in your 10c they aren't go
ing :to get on your back for it. Our club
is for plain people - you don't have
to have any special interests or quali­fications.
The Hot Fudge Sundae Club
is a people club and it's unlimited
because it doesn't take up all your time.
It lets you do what you want to do."
Those interested should come to the
meeting on the 17th but those not in­terested
shouldn't come, according to
Lindberg, who added, 'Keep an eye on
the daily calender for news of club ac­tivities."
Soccer finally
catches on
at Bethel
by Merilee Dyer
Soccer is considered by ABC's "Wide
World of Sports" to be one of the world's
most popular sports. Its popularity in
other countries makes it surprising that
the sport has taken S9 long to catch on
in America. Testimony to the interest
caused by this sport is the Bethel Soc­cer
Club.
Four years ago, ten of the internation­al
students on campus got together and '
formed a soccer club. They were able
to interest seven American students in
the game and so, by the end of their
first season, the Bethel Soccer Club
was established on campus. Without
any aid from the school they have man­aged
not only to exist for the last four
years, but to be a successful club, as
well. The club, without any money or
support from the school or the aid of a
coach, has motivated itself to keep the
club going every year. The Bethel team
plays with European rules, a tradi­tion
handed down to them from their
first international i.nstructors, They have
taught themselves to play with the
dexterity and skill required by this
sport.
In 1970, because of the interest ex­pressed,
the soccer club, with the sup­port
of the student body, began to
push for varsity status, In 1970-71 the
team had a 7-1-4 record and took sec­ond
place in the Platteville Soccer Tour­nament,
bringing home their first tro­phy,
Again the club asked for varsity
status. The student senate replied with
their recommendation to the Athletic
Committee that the Soccer Club be
recognized as a varsity sport. The Ath­letic
Committee was in favor of making
soccer a varsity sport and made a rec­ommendation
to that effect. However,
the recommendation was contingent u­pon
three other points. One, that Phy­sical
Education become a major at
Bethel; (2), that no other sport in
which we are currently engaged in be
harmed; and, (3), that more money be
put into the other major sports on
campus in the forms of scholarships
and grants for the participants. The
whole package was to cost an estimated
$20,000 over what the athletic depart­ment
already had.
This year the Soccer Club finished
with a 5-2-1 record. And Physical Ed­ucation
has become a maj.or on the cam­pus.
However, the future, as far as soccer
becoming a varsity sport is concerned,
looks dim. That's not to say that soccer
won't be at Bethel next year - the club
hopes to raise one thousand dollars to
bring a coach up from South America.
With this as their goal, the club is con­fident
of becoming the top team in the
state.
Intra-murder
taken seriously
by players
by 808 ELLIOT
Writers Note: In accordance with the
spirit of questioning and criticism that
is prevalent at Bethel these days (es­pecially
in the area of sports), I was
asked to write an article defending
men's intramurals at a Christian col­lege.
In essence, what is the role of an
intramurals program at a Christian ed­ucational
institution? I suppose if I
thought for a while I could give some
sound philosophical reasons why an in­tramural
sports program is essential.
However, I don't think it is necessary.
It seems that today, unless we can
think of clear and absolutely concise
reasons for something to exist, we tear
it down. This is a dangerous practice.
Just because WE can't find a proper de­fense
to satisfy our curious and injured
minds as to the purpose of a certain
institution, doesn't mean the reasons for
its existence aren't there. We should
all be a little more like Edmund Burke
who "left fences standing until he knew
why they were put up." With this in
mind I would like to describe the men's
intramural program at lBethel and then
let you decide as to its importance.
The basic aim of men's intramurals is
participation. Through this, the guys can
develop skills, keep in shape, meet new
friends and help learn the meaning of
unity by being a member of a team.
Over half of the Bethel male population
participates in sports that range from

table tennis and bowling, to basketball
and football.
The program is headed by supervi­sors
appointed by Jack Trager, the fac­ulty
advisor. This year's SUPERviso'rs
are Jim Feldmen (Sr.), Bob Elliot (Jr.),
and Paul Reasoner (Fr.). It is their re­sponsibility
to set up schedules, hire
officials,and make sure games and
matches proceed smoothly and on sched­ule.
Intramural teams basically consist of
different floors in Edgren, New Dorm.
Off Campus and Faculty. In this man­ner
a chance to demonstrate floor and
group unity is fostered. Some teams
even have a training meal together the
night before a big game. Rumor has it
that one team captain dragged the jersey
of an opposing team member through
the floor to give his tigers the "scent".
Whether it worked or not isn't really
known, but one clear observation is the
serious interest that the guys have.
Though the quality of play may at
times be hilarious (I'm thinking of
"B" league basketball), the arm-chair
quarterback gets the chance to prove
to himself (and possibly his girlfriend)
that he really does belong out on the
field. So, if you're ever in the neighbor­hood
of the gym one of these nights,
drop in and watch the boys in action.
Round ba II history
resembles path of
rollercoaster
by Merilee Dyer
If a chart were to be made of the
basketball history at Bethel it would
look like the path of a rollercoaster.
Basketball seems to have an excellent
season about once every five years,
while the years in between are either
only average or mediocre.
Ten years ago basketball was by far
the biggest sport on campus. In 1960 the
Royals had a 14-5 record and they took
second place in the Gopher Conference.
After that season the team was plagued
with all sorts' of problems until 1964 and
1965. In '62 the problem was a lack of
height; in '63 :the squad lacked exper­ience.
During those years, the team never
was able to surmount their difficulties.
In 1964 Bethel entered a new confer­ence.
Playing in the Pioneer Conference,
they won five of six conference games.
In 1965 they also attained a 5-1 con­ference
mark and an overall record of
12-8. In '66 the team didn't fare as well
in conference play, although the overall
record was again 12-8.
Last year Bethel and Concordia of St.
twelve
Paul were invited to join the Tri-State
Athletic Conference. This will be a
challenge to Bethel as the Royals lost
to last year's conference champion,
Northwestern, 98-96 in the last game
of the season. They will be playing in
21 games as well as participating in the
Lakehead Invitational Tournament in
December.
. The Royals have 11 of last year's 15
lettermen returning. The squad is led
by last year's Most Valuable Player,
Steve Scroggins, who shares Tri-captain
responsibilities with Jim Delich and Wil­lie
Hill. Basketball begins Nov. 20 in
a home game against Albert Lea, 7:30
p.m., in the fieldhouse. Barring unfore­seen
difficulties, :the Royals should have
a good season.
Women's athletics
include field hockey,
power volleyball
Women's teams are part of the Bethel
athletic picture. At times students dis­cuss
"should we, or should we not"
have women's sports. The girls who par­ticipate
enjoy the exercise, the chance
to develop their skills,and the oppor­tunity
to make new friends.
"I was a scared, little freshman when
I went out for field hockey," Sarah
Reasoner, a 4-year member of the team
stated, "but I really found myself wel­comed
by the players and coach. It was
my first step out of my dorm room irito
college life."
Field hockey as an interscholastic
sport for Bethel women arrived on the
scene with Carol Morgan in 1967. She
had played at Wheaton and also on the
Minnesota Field Hockey Club and
I brought enough enthusiasm for the
sport to make it go at Bethel. The team
has been hampered by the fact that every
year some of the team members are in­experienced.
Consequently, before go­ing
on into complex strategy, Miss Mor­gan
teaches the very basics.
That first year record was 0-3; the
next year it was 0-4-1 due to Bethel's
tie with the University of Minnesota.
1969 and 1970 saw steady improvement
and this year's team ended with a 4-4
record. Bethel lost twice to River Falls
and the University of Minnesota. They
defeated St. Catherine twice, and then
went on to beat Carlton and Hamline.
A steady improvement in records sug­gests
that Bethel will do even better
next year.
In 1968 another interscholastic sport
for women was added - power volley­ball.
The new interpretations of no-slap­ping
and carrying rules were new to
everyone, even the coach, so Miss Brown­lee
attended a week-long clinic on pow­er
volleyball. She brought back new ex­ercises,
skills, and strategies to help im­prove
the team. In 1968 the record of
Bethel's women's volleyball team was
2-3. The next year participation increas­ed
and they had both an A and B team.
Last year both teams had a 3-4 record.
Bethel's "A" team has now won their
first three games.
Editorial says some Sethel
football players are quitters
Portions of an editorial heard on the campus radio station on Oct. 26,
three days after a 24-0 loss to Huron.
«Bethel has now lost five straight games since they beat Sioux Falls
in the second game of the season. The losing streak will be seven in a row
when the season is over) because Bethel}s football team will not win another
game this year. Why? It is not because they don}t have talented players.
«The reason is that Bethel has some football players who would rather
admit defeat than to continue to fight for victory. These players - and I
use the term loosely - think of themselves as losers. And they are. Which
is too bad) because Bethel has a lot of players who should be and deserve to
be winners.
«Bethel plays Northwestern of Iowa Saurday and doesn}t have a chance.
Northwestern) with a 3-1 Tri-State Conference record will be shooting to wrap
up the conference title. They are currently tied with Concordia but the
Comets play nationally ranked Jamestown as a conference game Saturday.
Northwestern will be up for the game} while Bethel}s psyche has decreased
steadily since the River Falls game. Unless something drastic happens between
now and gametime Saturday, Northwestern will win by at least four touch­downs.}}
Ed. Note: Northwestern won 28-0.
Colds
Americans in cold climates suffer more in common than
just raw winters. On any given winter day, 20 million American~
are suffering from the common cold.
Northern U.S. cities - especially in large metropolitan
areas - are ideal for winter health threats, the experts say.
Exposure, dry air, air pollution, inadequate ventilation les~
sunshine, slippery streets and sidewalks, sudden changes in
the weather all contribute to the problem. And winter-weary
people tend to get too little exercise.
Take a look at :the statistics. Deaths from many causes
peak in January. On a nationwide basis, influenza and pneu­monia,
two of winter's most prevalent diseases, caused 1,700
deaths during the first week of 1969 during a Hong Kong
flu epidemic, compared with less than 400 during the summer
season. For all causes, deaths peaked at more than 18,000 during
one week in January compared with 12,000 for an average
week in August.
You can prevent some illnesses and minimize the dangers
of others. For example:
You can help ward off colds and other winter illnesses
by keeping your resistance up. Get enough sleep so that you
feel rested by morning. Eat a good balance of foods.
Avoid respiratory di~eases, which account for a great
percentage of winter problems, by keeping an adequate level
of humidity in your home. A 40 per cent level is desirable.
If you don't have a humidifier, consider buying one.
Don't rely on commercial mouthwashes to combat colds
and sore throats. A recent study conducted by the National
Academy of Sciences found that eight le,ading mouthwashes
killed few, if any, germs and were ineffective for preventive
therapeutic claims. Gargling with hot salt water (half tea­spoon
salt to a glass of water) helps to ease sore throat pains.
It's the heat that does the trick, according to Gerald Modjeska,
M.D., medical director of CNA, a large insurance group.
Don't expect extra vitamins to reduce colds. The American
Medical Association cautions that there is nothing magic
or even helpful about vitamin pills if you are eating a bal­anced
diet.
Antihistamines may make you feel more comfortable
with a cold, by reducing some of the symptoms. They won't

Antibiotics can't do anything for a cold; they can only
prevent a subsequent bacterial infection from developing. And
if you give a child certain antibiotics, you may make him more
susceptible to other diseases.
Since winter weather changes quickly and often, it's a
smart idea to listen Ito a weather report before you dress to
go. outside. Anyone with a cold or other respiratory illness,
chlldren, and older people should be especially careful to
dress appropriately for the weather. Cold weather alone can

Dean sees athletics
as valuable program
When one ,becomes a dean of a college, programs and
activities which formerly were taken for granted, tend to be
evaluated in terms of priorities, finances, objectives and ac­complishments.
Athletics, like every program in the college,
whether it be art, pre-med, drama, social welfare, education,
etc., must have its rationale for existence.
It should be pointed out that in most schools, an athletic
program is differentiated from a physical education program
in design and purpose. The athletic program is the outward
facing of physical education, usually related to inter-school
sports activities.
To the participants, athletics provide the challenge of single
and ,team competition that cannot be achieved in the same
degree within a physical education program. To perform as
an athlete in inter-collegiate events has important personal
compensation. The discipline and cooperative training and
playing can develop an experience of mutual commitment to
a task and a close bond of friem\ship that can remain for
many years.
Athletics is often a major focal point of interest on a
campus. At Bethel, more students attend the chapel services
than any other function. However, the athletic events would
be -next in appeal, especially basketball and football.
Prospective students are recruited on the basis of the
athletic program. Bethel still feels that people in our culture
who have primary interest in sports are a valid group to be
reached and encouraged in a career. A small college needs to
keep a number of interest and vocational programs open to
attract students in order to stay in the business of education.
From the viewpoint of public relations and visibility,
athletic teams, as well as music, forensics and drama groups,
can be ' effective instruments in making the school known to
the community and region.
From the viewpoint of the office of the college dean, it
is hoped that the athletic program at Bethel College can de­velop
within the basic purposes of the school to be a program
with integrity, 'balance and accomplishment. No program in
the school should be taken for granted, and it is hoped that
examination, review and reform can improve any existing
part of the Bethel structure, including athletics.

Chapel .
Dead
or
Alive?
by Brenda Barth
• •
What is "chapel" at Bethel? Enter- ·
tainment? Pressure release? Announce­ment
time? Social gathering of the
Bethel Community? Worship?
Many students who attend chapel go
because they enjoy it and often learn
something by it.
. "I go to chapel regularly and usually
fmd 1 get something out of it whether
it's through the message or just a chance
to meditate. I like the variety in the
programs," said Kirsten Anderson.
Steve Lentz goes because he can't stay
away. "Besides working in the sound
booth, I go to chapel to satisfy my curi­osity
and see what's there. It's usually
good but improvement could be made in
programs which are not in ,a spiritual
vein."
Some people, like Steve, expressed dis­.
satisfaction with the convocation or
educational, programs. '
"I go to chapel every day," explained
Terry Leafblad. "It gives me something
to do. But some of the things discussed,
such as student government, are not im­portant
there. I would like to see more
guest speakers and some of our own
professors speak."
Nancy Meyer had similar comments.
"I don't go to chapel to get educated
and 1 don't like the education oriented
programs such as the convocations. 1
spend the rest of the day studying and
don't care for that at chapel, too."
Rebecca Cabaniss is glad chapel is
not required. "I usually go ·at least
twice a week. I would like to see the
programs announced ahead of time and
to see some different vocal groups per­form."
Some students find it impossible to
attend due to their schedules.
"I've been student teaching this se­mester
and haven't been able to go to
chapel," commented Sarah Reasoner. "I
have enjoyed it in past years, though,
and would like to go this year if I were
around more of the time."
Nancy Wetsel finds she has prob­lems
of the same kind. "Chapel is hard
to fit into my schedule because I live
off campus, I'm married, and a senior.
1 benefit from the chapels that 1 do
go to. The programs are worthwhile.
I go to worship and get just that from
chapel."
fourteen
Others "skip" chapel because they get
nothing out of it.
"I don't go to chapel because I find
it uninteresting," Willie Hill said. "The
spea~ers' are reinforcement to the peo­ple
m the school - the services never
present other points of view. It was
mandatory my freshman year at the
school I went to and I didn't like it." ,
Jane Falk remarked, "I find that
chapel time is a nice time to stay in mt'
room and study."
A recent survey of the reactions of
first year students to chapel was taken
by Maurice Lawson, Campus Pastor. Re­sults
were as follows:
I attend chapel:
A. Everyday _________________________ -40.5%
Reasons:
1. Important to Christian growth
2. Like it
3. Break from studies
B. Quite regularly (2 or
3 times per week ______________ 41%
1. Skip because of school work
2. Skip to sleep
O. Occasionally ____________________. 17 %
1. Study
2. Sleep
3. Chapel not interesting
D. Never _______________________________ 1.5%
1. Don't feel like it/ don't like
crowds
2. Too hard to listen to a sermon
at 11 a.m.
3. Need a break in the morning
"There are four main reasons for
chapel," stated Pastor Lawson.
"The first is :that of daily worship in
a Christian community. Second, it ga­thers
the community together. Each
person can feel a part of a larger com­munity.
Third, it keeps everyone
abreast of what is happening by way
of announcements. F()urth, it is a pre­servation
of our freedom at Bethel.
"Other schools ()f our kind maintain
their attendance by rules demanding at­tendance.
When love controls, we don't
need law. Our students have come tra­ditionally
out of strong inner motiva­tion
- love for God and the commu­nity.
"We hope that tradition won't change."

Are we ready
for the new
campus move?
by Teri James
Is Bethel College ready for its move
to the new campus? Although the ad­vantages
of additional room and newer
facilities will be considerable, some stu­dents
and faculty members are question­ing
the advisibility of the move.
One bone of contention in present
plans is the lack of a student union
for the Arden Hills Campus. History
professor Dr. James Johnson said, "In
terms of space, I think that we in his­tory
will have rooms en'ough to teach
in. All we need is a room with some
chairs and a map. However, the space
that I'm most concerned about is a stu­dent
center. I feel that a student center
is the most important building that
ought to be put up on the new campus.
Without a student center, the Bethel
student is going to be really lost. I think
that it is totally unfair to talk about any
kind of move to the new campus with­out
making some kind of vital pro­visions
for a place where the Bethel
college student can spend his time when
he's not around in class, because the
campus is his whole life. Without a
student center, I think OUT plans are
never going to be workable."
Joel Goff added, "There is still going
to be no place that will be primarily a
student union. We get the basement a­gain
in the administration building and
a couple of small lounges elsewhere. We
are still not going to have a place
where you can go by yourself or with
one other person and talk without hav­ing
people constantly walking by and
disturbing you."
'Dr. Philip Carlson, faculty represent­ative
to the campus relocation commit­tee,
said that there is no one student

union because "studies have shown
that ther'e is a tendency for one group
to take over a building like that. In­stead
,of building a student union,
which would be massive and foolish for
a campus the size of Bethel, there will
be a number of conversation areas and
the coffeeshop in the academic build­ings.
There wiU alsQ be 'small commons'
for each dorm. These areas will include
space for watching T.V., listening to
music, more conversation area and a
place for games like ping-pong or pool."
'Doc' Dalton spoke about our relations
with the Seminary. "When the Seminary
and the College were together on the
present college campus, they shared
the student lounge, coffee shop, and
bookstore, and there was indeed a
mingling of students and faculty of
both schools that was mutually reward­ing.
Some chapels were together and
the library offered opportunities for
sharing of books 'and ideas. I do not an­ticipate
that there will be nearly as sig­nificant
interchange of persons upon the
reunion of the two schools. The Seminary
has separate, superior faciHties in every
area where the greatest opportunities
for rubbing shoulders existed a few years
ago. I recall the repeated argument for
permanently separating the two librar-
Glasses
ies: "we don't want the college stu­dents
under foot." A strong desire was
repeatedly expressed by the Seminary
faculty for separateness at most every
point. Having been without us for a
while, do they feel differently now?"
'Doc' also expressed concern over the
abandonment of the original "cluster
concept" of having the college buildings
arranged in an informal cluster-like
formation. Due to lack of funds, it will
be replaced by a "spine" arrangement.
Dr. Gordon Johnson, dean of the Sem­inary,
said he felt there was considerable
enthusiasm on the part of the Seminary
faculty for the new campus move. "Be­ing
apart for six years has made us
aware of how much more we can gain
from the college," he said.
Dr. Rodgers is enthusiastic about the
new campus move because of the advan­tages
of more space and newer facil­ities
for the chemistry department. The
college building is so old that Dr.
Rodgers said, "I told the students not
to kill any spiders this year because I
think their webs are what's holding the
building together. The building is so
old and I'm afraid there's only so much
that it can take."
Hopefully, Bethel College will be out
on the Arden Hills campus by next fall.

yield apples and
other temptations
by Barb Johnson
Ed. note: :Barb Johnson is a former Beth­el
student who spent this past summer
with SPAN (Student Program for the
Amity Among Nations) on the island
of Cyprus. There she did a study on
Greek monasteries. She submitted this
article to us as a reminder that every·
thing under the banner of Christianity
is not true Christianity, that human
desires can overweigh rules of Christian
conduct, and that no church or church
organization is immuni8 from "false
Christianity."
An island bound with Christian his­tory,
Cyprus abounds in monasteries
and convents. The majority flourished
between the fourth and twelfth cen­turies.
They were originally established
to allow men and women to lead a life
of seclusion and prayer. People gave
their lives to the monasteries as a
service to God or as a refuge from the
world.
Although lip service is still given to
these ideals, ·a few monasteries preserve
their sacred qualities. To illustrate this
point I will relate my experiences at
Kykko monastery. I arrived late one ev­ening,
prepared to spend several days
at the monastery. I was greeted by a
monk and taken directly to evening
vespers. Of seven monks and four nov­ices
at that monastery, only two monks
and one novice were attending the ser­vice.
When I questioned the attendance
later it was explained to me that "no
one ever cares to attend except those'
who must conduct services for the
week." Considerably surprised, I asked
why the monks didn't attend their own
services. The most common reply was
that they were too boring to attend.
Before this had time to sink in, I
was cheerfully led down to the monas­tery's
orchards by a nice monk, or so I
thought. I soon began to re·alize that
even nice monks may have devious in­tentions.
The orchard was conveniently
located down a twisting and turning
mountain road, about a mile and a
half from the monastery. Here were ap­ples
in abundance, and the nice monk
proceeded to offer me my fill of apples.
However, when he started including a
kiss with the apples I knew it was time
to leave. The nice monk had turned
not so nice.
One monk down and six to go. I was
beginning to expect the worst. It wasn't
as bad as I thought, the other six turn­ed
out to be avid T.V. watchers, and
glued themselves to the T.V. for the
rest of the evening.
The night was passed without mis­hap,
except for the monk who escorted
me to my bedroom and didn't want to
leave. That problem solved itself as his
superior passed by my room, making
his final rounds, requesting the annoy­ing
monk to leave immediately.
The next day was passed by asking
questions and exploring the monastery
grounds. As' I was passing down the
hall of the monks' cells, one of the monks
invited me in. To my surprise it was
plushly carpeted, wired for a stereo
radio, had a very modern private bath­room
and a very comfortable bedroom.
My image of austere monks leading a
self-denying life was shaken.
Further down the hall, I was led into
one of the monk's recreational rooms.
It was littered with slinky black cats,
bottles of whisky, sexy statues, and
a few pictures which appeared to have
been torn out of "Playboy" magazine.
The monk explained to me that being a
monk was a good "racket." Apparently,
religion was conveniently ignored by
the monks.
I should remind the reader that
Kykko monastery is an unusual case.
The majority of monasteries oI), Cyprus
reflect ideals of moderation and concern.
Let Kykko be an example of how Chris­tian
ideals, if ignored,can present a
picture of hypocrisy and corruption to
observers.

{(It is not true that the Christian view of the state
is divided into as many interpretations as there are
Christian political groups or movements. These differ­ences
are rather the fruit of the monster-marriage of
Christianity with the movements of the age, which
arise from the spirit of this world.
{(The genuinely Christian idea of the state is rooted
in the radical, Scriptural view regarding the relationship
between the Kingdom of God in Christ Jesus and the

God doesn't wear
shoulder pads
by R~ch Zaderaka
God .isn't the «twelfth player" on a {(Christian" football
team. He doesn't wear shoulder pads or a helmet or a tear
away jersey.
God doesn't call audibles, throw passes or hand off.
He doesn't run end sweeps, off tackles or option plays.
He doesn't break tackles or run over linebackers.
No, God doesn't blitz or recover fumbles or intercept
passes. He doesn't return punts or kickoffs. He doesn't
even kick extra points or field goals. He isn't All-Con­ference,
or captain, or MVP.
God doesn't give peptalks, or diagram plays, or shout
instructions. He doesn't tape ankles or knees or wrists.
He doesn't carry a whistle or' wear a striped shirt. He
doesn't carry a clipboard and a sharp pencil.
But he does keep statistics. Not how many yards
gained or lost. Not how many passes completed. Not how
many tackles made. Not even how many games you won.
God keeps individual statistics. He has a scouting re­port
on every player. After the final gun has sounded
and it's time for the {(player draft" up yonder, God goes
to his files and looks at the stats and the scouting reports.
His {(number one draft choice" is a player who ...
plays the game with enthusiasm. Isn't afraid ,of challenge.
Well disciplined. Is aggressive but always displays excel­lent
sportsmanship.
Another scouting report reads ... Is a real holler
guy. Makes sure teammates know when they've made a
mistake. Often curses to prove he's tough. Argues fre­quently
with officials so they know he's a star. Does a tre­mendous
job when he feels like it. Has tremendous natural
ability. '
This player may become one of the best in the {(other
league". But God doesn't want him or need him on his
team.

Pete discusses
life and other
concerns
by Pete Va rros
"But let your communication be, Yea , yea ; Nay, nay; for
whatever is more than these cometh of evil." Mt. 5:37
"Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men, him will
I confess before my Father, who is in heaven." Mt. 10:32
"He that is not with me is against me." Mt. 12:30
These words of Jesus make clear his expectations in part for any
man who would follow him: if Jesus is Lord indeed, then we must say
50 in all of our words and .actions. Jesus will not be relegated to the
category of a never-talked-about insane aunt or illegitimate pregnancy.
What do these words say to those of us who believe in situational
Christianity? When it's the correct temperature with the sun shin ing ,
and at the proper longitude and latitude THEN our religion · makes a
cameo appearance. No! Jesus says no, and it just doesn't work. He
is to be proclaimed, and what a joy and privilege it is to do so! The
Holy Spirit is waiting to infuse our total being, spirit, soul, and body, with
an alive freshness for Christ. It's as simple as believing in Jesus Christ
in such a way that our lives become a testimony of His Lordship. If we
are truly becoming new creatures in Christ (2 Cor. 5: 17), becoming in­creasingly
conformed to his image (Rom. 8:29). if we've truly experienced
crucifixion of self and resurrection to life in Christ (Rom. 6:4-6) , in short,
if we're a disciple of Christ rather than a convert, then for our sake we
must say so!
Jesus is not to be apologized for. He certainly doesn't need our
affirmation of His d ivinity. Our proclamation of Christ cannot consist
of intricately woven hints at His Lordship if we are concerned with the
whole power of Christ being made known. Just as our salvation is not
ambiguous neither should be the manner in which we share our Savior.
If you love Jesus, say so!
In a day when it's "do your thing , beautiful person" we are all
too ready to honor someone as a brother in Christ on the basis that
he loves Jesus, yet chooses to tell the world ever so "subtly" in a form
all but void of Christ. If we, the children of God, born of the Spirit, were
unable to detect this message in Phil Driscoll's "thing," as Bill Ankerberg
says, it is id iotic to believe the children of this world will see more of
Christ than we! It is more than id iotic - it's ironic.
To say we glorify God in "everything we do" as Elden Elseth claims, is
a theory which rises quite regularly like a hot air balloon - that is until
it reaches the cold atmosphere of real ity and sinks down, only to be
raised once more by the fires of cure-all solutions. This is nothing more
than rationalization in favor of tacking "glory be to God" onto our live's
preoccupation and cla iming our actions, goals and desires to be fully
Christian, when, in truth , they are purely pagan. While we may like to
believe our !;ves in fact glorify God in all areas, th is can only be true when
WE no longer live, but have given everything to Christ. There is no
automatic reflex action in us. There is as much glory given to God in
Mr. Drisc oll's "witness" as was given in the shameful events fo llowing
the concert, in volving Driscoll 's back-up group, Yurmama, a nd several
people on our cam pus. "Wherefor e, by their fruits ye shall know th em,"
says Mt. 6:20. Take a look at the "fruit" of a concert with the message of
Christ - winding up an evening's inspiration in sin! We cannot order
our live's routine and goal independent of God's revelation and expect
to receive His stamp of approval on it. The God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob does not sa nctify the evils of a fallen nature. He has and will
eighteen
continue to leave us to our independent, soulish desires.
Let's come to the realization that Bethel College is not a Christian
community. Initially, there are people in this school who 'have as yet to
believe in Christ. They resent our religiousness and I p~ay each of
these will quickly hit bottom, thus realizing their need of Jesus. Then
there are also many people here who have not as yet come to honor
Christ as Lord, and manifest the fruits of Satan, among those the heckling
at Phil Driscoll's concert. It would seem to me, though, that these two types
of people are one and the same when standing. before God.
When I realized this last year, that Bethel is not a Christian utopia ,
I was terribly disillusioned. Perhaps you are facing similar disillusion­ment.
Praise God, -though. We who earnestly seek after our Father will
receive every good and perfect gift He has for us. Growth in Christ
is not corporate, but rather, very individual. So if you have been de­pending
on the routine of classes, study, roommates or even school­sponsored
activities, forget it. The Lord desires to deal with each of
us as a special child of His. This is not to rule out prayer groups and
Bible raps. The Christian life does not stand still. Ours is either pro­gression
or regression.
To conclude, I would say we are in great need of consecrating our
lives to the Lord. It is then that your joys and pleasures will only be
met in Christ. All else becomes worthless because for the first time
you see through spiritual eyes, hear through spiritual ears. That is what
being a new creature in Christ is all about. "Adapt yourselves no longer
to the pattern of this present world , but let your minds be remade
and your whole nature thus transformed. Then you will be able to
discern the will of God, and to know what is good, acceptable, and
perfect." Rom. 12:2.
Not only has God the means for meeting our every need , He also is
fully capable and desirous of putting to death the old man with his
sinful desires and raising us to life in Christ with new desires already
fulfilled in that resurrection of glory. "I count everything sheer loss,
because all is far outweighed by the gain of knowing Christ my Lord ,
for whose sake I did in fact lose everything. I count it so much garbage.
for the sake of gaining Christ and finding myself incorporate in Him.
with no righteousness of my own, no legal rectitude, but the righteousness
which comes from faith in Christ, given my God in response to faith . All
I care for is to know Christ, to experience the power of His resurrection
and to share his sufferings, in growing conformity with His death, if only
I may finally arrive at the resurrection from the dead."
Phil. 3:8- 11.

Dorm women
organize for
longer nights
by Beverly Olsson
There seems to be a fair amount of
dissatisfaction among some Bethel wo­men
lately over the rules in their re­spective
dorms. Most complaints cen­ter
around the required hours, but there
are others as well.
Freshman Debbie Hackenberg said,
"The hours here are not unreasonable,
just inflexible. They don't allow for
something special. I think there should
be some kind of system by which a
late pass could be available."
Noreen Morstad pointed out that there
are many events in the Twin Cities area
at which Christian artists and speakers
appear. Due to the 11 p.m. curfew, Beth­el
girls can't attend many of these. Jane
Lewis also felt this way. "Sometimes
special things come up. My home is in
North St. Paul. I could go home and
catch some of these things, except that
that's against the rules, too," Jane said.
"If something terrible is going to happen
on this campus, it is just as likely to
happen from 7-11 as it is from 12·2."
Girls get offers for babysitting jobs
but can't accept because they wouldn't
be in the dorm at 11 p.m. Merilee Dyer
cited an example. "Even though I called
20 minutes early and told them I would
be late, my name and the 5 minutes I
was late were recorded. Thankfully
they excused it this time," she said.
"There are many alternatives. Mom does
not have to stay up to let girls in. In
colleges like Westmont, an R.A. Is avail­able.
Girls who need to be out late
could arrange it with the R.A. on duty."
So what's being done about it? So
far, not a whole lot. A few girls have
gotten together and are going to have a
meeting to decide on a plan of action.
There are also other rules that people
are dissatisfied with . . "It's not always
so much the rules, but it's the attitude,"
Caroline Bass stated. Some of the girls
didn't appreciate the fact that at five
minutes to 11, the TV goes off until the
boys leave the dorm. Everybody misses
the last five minutes of a movie or pro­gram.
Others said that if girls are in by
11, but boys that haven't left are talking
to them, the girls get points and are
considered late.
Merilee Dyer described the attitudes
as a "spirit of pettiness". She also asked
"Why is it necessary to sign out after
7 p.m.? These little things spoil the at.
mosphere of Christian love and mutual
cooperation."
Quite a few girls also expressed the
desire for it Ito be possible to have
boys in the dorm more often. Linda
Tanquist's main gripe was that the girls
are treated as though they were imma·
ture. "We are more responsible than
they think," Linda said. She thinks the
girls should be permitted to sign guys
in during specified hours.
Caroline Weir, Dorm President in
Bodien, commented on the necessity of
the rules. "They're important because
we live in a community, and we have
a responsibility to each other and to
that community," Caroline explained.
"Also the college is responsible for the
girls' safety and well·being. We come
to school for education - and the Bethel
library closes at 10:30 p.m. Late ' per.
mission is given now for school functions,
and the Dorm Council is working on a
few late nights for next semester."
So if girls are really interested in
changing the hours, or other rules in the
dorms, a Dorm Council representative is
the person to see.

I found the editorial "Football- Nothing But a Roman Speetacle" which ap­peared
on the back page of the last issue of the Clarion, very thought provoking. The
editorial debased football as anti-Christian, yet on the previous page was a caption
describing a soccer player getting an elbow in the face. The soccer story on the
same page mentioned a player being ejected from the game for fighting and
another whose glasses were broken.
It is quite interesting to speculate about how Bethel could improve its athletic
program if football was dropped and the budget was channeled into other sports.
But if the team was winning, I doubt if there would be any controversy.
The aforementioned article asked the rhetorical question, "Is it spiritually
healthy for a Christian to participate in footbilll for no other reason than for the
glory and love of the game?" Certainly those might be considered selfish motives.
But why do Bethelites want to have a winning football team? Could it be pride?
Now. who is being selfish? -
This talk of dumping football is purely asinine, if the only reason is that the
team is not winning. I could state this opinion in stronger language, but then it
would be unprintable.
Bethel can have a winning football team. But not with the pressure of win­or-
else over their heads. * *
Perry Johnson was named to the Tri-State - All Conference Defensive team.
Dave Asp, Steve Conklin and John Faust were selected on .the honorable mention
squad. Congratulations to these fellows for their achievements. .
* * *
The football squad looked like a team only once this season - against Hamline.
After that game, the team got progressively worse, with the exception of an excellent
defensive performance against River Falls.
The team was definitely cocky and overconfident after the Hamline game.
Granted, they held a good Hamline team's margin of victory to two touchdowns.
But Hamlin's QB was't exactly "threading the needle" with his passes that day.
In fact, Helen Keller probably could have done a better job of spotting and
hitting the open receivers. When the ball was thrown accurately the Piper re­ceivers
handled it like a hot rivet. So there was no reason for the team to be
presumptuous.
The turning point of the season was the homecoming game which Bethel lost
to a mediocre Concordia team by three touchdowns. After that, enough key
individuals "gave up" on the season to ruin the morale of the entire squad. I've
seen more spirit and pep in a morgue than there was on the football team the
last three or four weeks.
There is a lot of talk about certain individuals not returning or going out next
year. If they are the ones who "gave up" midway through the season the team
needs them about as much as a drowning man needs to be thrown an anchor. Maybe
this action really says something about those individuals, namely that they have no
guts. I may be wrong. Maybe, (to use the universal cop-out at Bethel) it is God's
will that these players not participate in football.
* * *
While I'm losing "friends" I might as well admit that I for one (and I know
there are others), don't get a big charge out of watching soccer. Sure it takes skill
- so does pingpong. But I've never seen standing room only crowds to watch an
intramural pingpong tournament. What I'm saying is that soccer cannot be com­pared
to football in any way.
Maybe I'm not soccer oriented. I didn't grow up playing or watching the sport.
But it gives me about as big a thrill as I usually get eating in the cafeteria.
* * *
I still don't understand why students are allowed admission to athletic events
by merely showing their ID, but have to shell out the coins if they want to go
to a choir or band concert. It seems like the music department would be happy to
cut an already financially burdened student's throat for a buck.
