ChUdren/s Theater enlarges sco·pe
Adventures of IIHuckl1 to be presented
by Kathleen Asselin
"Huckleberry Finn" is the Interim Children's Theater
kick-off to the Bethel drama department's Bicentennial season.
Taken from Mark Twain's novel, the play will be
presented Friday evening January 23, and Saturday afternoon
and evening, January 24. Along with this classic American
folk tale, second semester productions include Thornton
Wilder's "Our Town" and "The Devil's Disciple" by George
Bernard Shaw.
Huck Finn, played by Tim Ueafblad, lives out his boyhood
adventures with his cohort Tom Sawyer (Jeff Miller) on the
banks of the Mississippi River during the steamboat era.
"Huck is a free-spirit who refuses to be set in a mold,"
commented Tim Leafblad. "While Tom Sawyer seeks out
adventure for fun, Huck needs the freedom to be his own
adventuresome soul."
In the play, the boys plan the escape of a runaway
slave named Jim, portrayed by Delano Hampton. Director
Dr. Don Rainbow sees Huck Finn as identifying deeply with
Jim's struggle for freedom.
"The play makes some strong contemporary statements,"
Rainbow said.
As well as an entertainment vehicle, Doc Rainbowenvisions
"Huckleberry Finn" as a step beyond for Bethel
Children's Theater.
"Most of our productions have been · fantasy such as
last year's "Toad of Toad Hall," he said. "This is real
people living real adventures."
Students in the Interim course will design and construct
the entire set, gather costumes and props, arrange
music and sound effects, and handle publicity in a matter
of three weeks. Tickets for the show go on sale Thursday,
Jan. 15.
Six separate performances will be held for area elementary
school children. Doc Rainbow described the identification
with characters that stimulates kids' imaginations. "If
the director and actors are successful, the children share
vicariously the experiences of Huck and Tom,'! he said.
"For an hour and a half, they can live terrific adventures

Suggesti'ons, goals for Bethel in 1976 offered
The New Year is traditionally a time for man to examine
himself in regards to the year just completed, to examine
both his failures and his successes, and to use this
examination to make plans for the next year. Unfortunately,
these New Year's goals often tend to be vague and general,
without the honest desire to carry them out. We feel that
we the Bethel community must examine ourselves and make
goals for 1976. But these goals should be arrived at via
a true desire to improve Bethel, and should be specific
so that at least the possibility of achieving these goals
exists.
This editorial, then, is an attempt by the Clarion to
suggest definite goals and specific plans of action for Bethel
in the year 1976. Some of the following have been mentioned
in earlier editorials; we hope you will critically
analyze, contemplate and react to the ideas presented.
1. The 1975 Student Senate suffered from bulkiness,
apathy within and without, and the lack of concerted and
worthwhile action (i.e., four months of Heritage confusion).
We hope that in 1976 the Student Senate will re-evaluate
it's reason for existence and it's place in the Bethel scheme
of things. We also feel that the Senate should be restructured
(Le., trimming the membership in the general senatorial
body).
2. As we have said before, and as many have said
before, present trends in enrollment escalation are detrimental
to Bethel College, both academically and socially. We
would implore the Bethel administration in the coming year
to check this dangerous trend, a trend, which if not halted
immediately, will put Bethel, qualitatively speaking, beyond
the point of no return.
3. The 1975 Bethel Intramural Office was allotted a
miniscule portion of the Athletic Department financial pie
on which to operate. Amazingly enough, further cutbacks
are now being contemplated, cut backs which would further

incapacitate the Intramural Department iIi terms of the quality
of services it would provide to the students.
This is sad, considering the undeniable importance, popularity
and need of this program for the students of Bethel,
both male and female. We would hope that in 1976
a reversal of the outlook of the Athletic Department would
occur, and that the department would realize the value
and necessity of a strong Intramural program. This program
desperately needs to be higher on the athletic list of priorities
in terms of both time and motley.
4. Along these lines, the Christian Service Office in
1975 has also suffered from fiscal neglect. This vital part
of Bethel College is greatly hindered by the lack of any financial
support from the College. What a shame. It would
be fantastic if 1976 could bring recognition within the higher
echelons of Bethel as to the importance of this program.
As stated earlier, we would hope that these proposals
would be thoughtfully considered, and we welcome and
implore reaction to them.

Dear Sir:
The Dec. 12th Clarion published an article on one girl's
• opinion of women's lib. It appears to us that she seemed
uninformed as to the other side of the feminism question.
As all must, we have struggled with this question and have
tried to see both sides. We have come to an understanding
which we feel not only fits the Christian lifestyle but reinforces
what Christ wants with our lives.
We accept the idea that some women are called to be
housewives with this as their career, but we also cannot
ignore the fact that God has supplied some with certain
different talents which they are called to use. This does
not mean marriage is given up, but that it can be compatible
with a career.
So often we are critical of the woman with a career
because she is competing with men. Competition is not the
issue at all. The real issue is that we all are to contribute
to society as God has asked us to individually. We
must not use the excuse that God wants us to be less
than we could be. We cannot pull into a shell of closemindedness,
but must reach out to the challenges put before
us.
In the New Testament, Christ' did many things to raise
the status of women. Christ brought women to an equal
place in humanness with men which was a totally new
concept at the time (Luke 10 :38-42, John 4 :7-42, Galatians
~ :28) women became equal with men in status within the
church (Luke 2 :36-38, Acts 21 :9, Romans 16 :1-3); the stereotype
of the woman was crushed, (John 11:17-27, Luke 7:36-
50, Eph. 5 :21) and Christ commanded all to be spokespersons
for the Kingdom of God, (Luke 8 :1-3, Acts 18:
1-4, 24-28).
Two excellent books on the question of Christian women
and their role are Man as Male and Female by Paul
Jewett and All We're Meant To Be by Letha Scanzoni and
Nancy Hardesty.
Christ makes the central issue ~ot whether women are
fulfilling their roles as wife and mother, but rather, is each
person fulfilling his or her role in God's plan as parent,
as spouse, and/or as Christ's worker . .
Respectfully submitted,
Jan Curry and Pam Kramer

Eat In - Carry Out "
by Bill TroUWnger
Strangely enough, America enters its Bicentennial year
in an atmosphere of rampant cynicism, cynicism unparalleled
in the last forty years and possibly unparalleled in our
brief history. And although those far to the right on the
ambiguous political spectrum might scream "Commie plot," ..
it would seem as if this harsh pessimism is a natural
outgrowth of recent events in our American expe:tience. Cynicism
should be expected considering that it was less than
three years ago that the Vietnam debacle ended (for us,
anyway), a decade-long war which saw America sacrifice
more of its young men than in any other war for a
senseless, in fact unknown, cause. It should be expected
considering that the highest echelons of government have been
exposed to have contained the most incredible forms of
scandal. It should be expected considering that -we have
just learned that our intelligence commUnity has been operating
far beyond the bounds of the law and, in fact, establishes
its own law.
But, although this cynicism can be seen as ' a natural
outgrowth of events in our last .decade of history, and although
this pessimism has created a much more honest
outlook toward our nation, this cynical approach to America
has had some negative effects! One of these is that noninvolvement
has becomoe a goal, an ideal, and not merely
one element in our foreign policy. Suddenly, the isolationism
of the pre-World War II days, an isolationism based on a
naive ignorance of America's fated role as a world leader
has returned. The horrible experience of Vietnam has created
a cynicism toward any American activity abroad and thus
non-involvement is being hailed as a virtue, in ~d of itself:
This is a narrow, potentially tragic view of America
as a nation. America, whether by fate or by design, is a superpower,
and this requires certain responsibilities throughout
the globe. This is not to say that America should revert
to meddling, domination tactics, shown at times in the past;
this is not to say that the American people should blindly
accept the wisdom of the political-military complex in relation
to foreign policy. But non-involvement cannot be the cornerstone
of American foreign policy, and the American responsibility
as a balancing power should not be underestimated.
Another negative result of this American cynicism is that
what was once a vice, continual suspicion, has become
a virtue. Now it is one thing to "watchdog," to apply
the necessary checks to government. But to see CIA agents
around every comer, to see bribery and graft in every
budget, to see a Watergate behind every leader's actions,
carries the critical approach to power, so necessary in a
democracy, into the realm of the destructive. Constant,
unrelenting suspicion condemns without trial the efforts of
those political and business leaders who have abided by the
law and have attempted to be a beneficial force for the
American people. The' democratic process demands by its
very nature a combination of the optimistic and the critical,
thus avoiding blind nationalism or cynical self-abasement.
The cynicism. that permeates America in 1976 in understandable,
and yet is potentially destructive. One resoloution
we should make in this the Bicentennial year is that we apply
the critically honest approach toward America, gained in the
past few years of painful self-examination, in a positive,.
constructive manner.
"Acid roclCl attacked; KABY ignored
Views from "mellow ~usic"to polka
by Dale E. Johnson
Music plays an important role in the lives of many
people, including Bethel students. In an informal student
poll the 'Clarion attempted to determine what type of music
studentS enjoyed most, and which radio stations are the
most popular.
The fact that the students were interviewed during finals
week may have some effect on what their answers contained.
On the other hand, if the students were unoccupied
enough to answer these silly questions, finals week may
have had little or no influence on this survey, or even
the students themselves.
In alphabetical order, here are the results of the su~vey:
Jeani Beissler - "I like moody stuff. My favorite type
of music is in the category of 'Oldies but Goodies.' I also
like music that is redone by a group other than the one
that made a song a hit. I like this kind of music because
it's easy to listen to and understand. I listen to KTIS-FM
the most because it has no commercials, just bells, between
the songs. The type of music I hate the most is acid rock."
Bruce Beyer - "I enjoy classical music. I feel that
music tends to evoke emotional response,- to varying degrees,
and classical music has a positive effect on my
mind. The station I listen to most is WAYL because it plays
classical music. The type of music I hate the most is the
type that evokes self-centered sentimentalism."
Mary Beth Carlson - "I like mellow stuff the best.
n fits my mood and it's not demanding. KDWB is my
favorite station because it plays mellower stuff and not as
much rock as the other stations. ' The type of music I
hate most is acid rock."
Dan Doughty - "I like rock from the early '60's period.
It's between country and hard rock and it came from a
good period, musically. I listen to KDWB the most since it
plays more old rock than any other station. My least favorite
type of music is opera."
Linda Heeren- "I like Beach Boys music the best.

ualize what is being said' in the song. You can picture
yourself standing on a beach. I like U-100 because they
play old songs sometimes. I hate acid rock the most."
Tom Koenigsberg - "I like melloow rock, bordering
on hard rock. The things I like best about that kind of
music are the upbeat, long h€lir, bizarre body movements,
drugs, and groupies. (Maybe you better not print that.)
I listen to KSTP the most because I like Charlie Bush.
I hate orchestra music and polkas."
Jack Olson - "I like ,country music. The reason is quite
simple ' - country music deals with life. Rock music is a
confused and laughably ridiculous fusion of electricity, dress,
sex and general anti-patriotic themes. In the final analysis,
country is the only music that can affectively speak to
the people, and say something of value."
Mike Porterfield - "I like mellow rock because it's
easy to listen and study to. I listen to KSTP because it
has 'Knapp in the Morning.' I hate bubble gum music,
for example, the Bay City Rollers."
Ric Stewart - "I like rock 'n roll music because
it's a good form of entertainment. It's also a good way
to kill boredom. My favorite station is WCCO-FM because
it plays Top-40, but it also plays a lot of mellow music.
I dislike the blues the most."
Karen Tanquist - "I like country-rock because I like
pedal-steel and regular guitar music. On the other hand,
when I study, I listen to classical music. My favorite station
for classical music is KTWN, and my favorite country
station is KTCR. I may get kicked out of Bethel for saying
this but the type of music I hate the most is the kind that'
. comes from the Bill Gaither Trio."
Sandy Widm:er - "I enjoy listening to slow rock. It has
a message and it relates to how I want my life to Qe. I
like KDWB because they play more current stuff and have
less talk than other stations."
After reviewing the survey, it is easy to arrive at
two major conclusions. (1) There seems to be some confusion
as to what type of music KDWB plays. (2) None
of the students interviewed listen to KABY regularly.

Job B,a'nk expan,ds

In recent weeks the 1976 Uncle Wiggily
Central Division Championship Series has
come ,under heavy fire from several
misinformed, over-achieving pseudo-intellectuals.
We at the Clarion feel that
it is time for someo"lle to fight the
tidal wave of pseudo-intellectualism. The
best deterent to this pseudo-intellectualism
is neo-pseudo-intellectualism, better
known as third-force metaphysics. The
neo-pseudo-intellectual is far superior to
the garden variety pseudo-intellect in
that he is secure enough to admit that
he is a mess. When have you seen
a philosophy professor get up in front
of a class and candidly admit, "I ' am
a failure, I have no talent, and I have
even more potential for boredom than
reading the ,Clarion?" Let the pseudointellects
say what they may, but the
Uncle Wiggily tournament can be validated,
authenticated, substantiated, and
domesticated on three fronts.
Theologically speaking.
Many of you probably remember a
statement in Bill Trollinger's somewhat
ridiculous column, to the effect that Uncle
Wiggily was not in any way supportive
of Calvinism. Well our bluff has
been called and we must admit that
Uncle Wiggily is the very lifeblood of
a modern day grass-roots revival of
Calvinism. After all, man has no choice
as to whether or not he goes to the
fox's den and loses two turns. It's
all in the metaphysical cards.
Bicentennially speaking.
It is a return to the simpler times
of Bethel's history, to a time when
there was no need 'for make-out parlours,
bowling alleys, movie houses, and other
worldly diversions. Edgrenites were content
to sit around the fireplace with
Mom and Dad Dormparent playing inexpensive
but enjoyable games.
N eo·quasi·pseudo·psychopathoiogically
speaking
Possibly the greatest value of the sport
is its psychological contribution which
may soon render the entire counseling
staff obsolete. It prevents inferiority complexes
by offering. the loser failure,
reject, pawn, etc., a chance to stand
up with other non-entities of equal value
and proclaim for all to hear, "I am
an absolute, unequivocable, irreparable,
immutable mess."
Need we say more?

IThe sky1s the limitl in ce/estiallnfe1rim class
by Jim Morud
The sky is an unending field of fascination and mystery
for everyone, but for some forty Bethel students who have
enrolled in the Introduction to Astronomy course instructed
this Interim by Robert Carlsen and Dave Perry, the wonders
of the celestial bodies will be more easily understood.
"We intend to help bring students to an 'amateur astronomer'
level of competence so that they can go on observing
phenomenon and will be able to look for additional
information necessary to obtain further facts about phenomenon,"
said Perry. "This involves introducing students
to the vocabulary in context necessary . to pursue amateur
astronomy and instructing them to a proper level of competence
with the telescope."
The course also includes a trip to the planetarium at
the Science Museum of Minneapolis, where the students will
be able to observe reconstructed appearances of the sky
during certain phenomenon. In a planetariUm. something that
could take months to observe can be viewed in just ten
minutes.
Perry cited Psalm 19 and Romans 1 as an indication
of where he believes an astronomer should stand while probing
God's creation.
"Some people have worshipped the created part and not
the Creator," he commented, "but a Christian has a perspective
on the study of astronomy that is more realistic
than a non-Christian in that what a Christian is dealing with
is trying to understand God's creation."
Concerning the contemporary problem of our earth's
depleting supplies and the possibi:lity of harnessing the sun's
energy output, Perry suggested "God has directed us
to be concerned about man's problems as well as his
spiritual condition. Therefore, he gives us a mind and a
universe to use together to overcome these problems. Meanwhile,
if God wants this whole thing to come to an end,
then He'll send His Son and we won't have to be concerned
about our problems here on earth any longer."
Student critiques 1975; makes predictions for 1976
by Diana Gonzalez
Two weeks have passed since 1976 made its first appearance,
and a few comments on the past year are in order,
if for no other reason, at least to make sure that history
won't repeat itself.
Before I forget, I should mention that 1975 was officially
declared to be the Year of the Woman. One of the
highlights for the reqognition of women \yas the UN-sponsored
International Women's Year Conference held in Mexico
City and presided over by the Attorney General of Mexico-a
man. On a national level the Year of the Woman was
no more memorable - the Equal Rights Amendment was
never passed and the unending "Should women be allowed
to teach Sunday School?" (or, "What did Paul really mean ?")
debate at Bethel remained unresolved. -
The first mc;l.jor event lof the year was the final triumph
of Hanoi over South Viet Nam last spring. Americans discovered
that Henry Kissinger was not Superman after all.
As a result, . Kissinger made it a point to threaten resignation
at least once a week. Cambodia's hijacking of the
American ship Mayaguez from the high seas gave the United
States the chance to demonstrate we could have won the war
if we really had wanted to. Ford almost sent the entire

This summer, in the Soyuz-Apollo link-up, Americans and

give each other bear hugs in space .. (they could not quite
manage to do this anywhere else with a straight face) .
Although the competition is tough, Ludicrous Agency of
the Year Award goes to the CIA which deserves considerable
credit for injecting humor into government. The Senate committee
on intelligence revealed the CIA's underlying sense
of humor when it uncovered plans to assassinate and discredit
foreign 'leaders. Schemes against Castro included planting
a bomb in a sea shell and putting it underwater in
his skin-diving suit; another was coating Castro's shoes with
a depilatory powerful enough t~ make his · beard fall off.
Besides revelations of far-fetched CIA plans, the fall
of 1975 brought other equally implausible events. In September,
two' women - Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme and Sara
Jane Moore - ' both attempted to assassinate President
Ford. New York City, the cultural and economic center
of the country, nearly went bankrupt, having run $4 billion

cases widely prevalent in their 'Own backyards. Angola
became an eloquent statement on the effectiveness of detente,
which by now only Kissinger understands. .
As for 1976, here are a few of my own speculations:
1. - Castro will send the CIA complimentary cigars.
2. - Enrollment at Bethel will hike to 10,000. Reliable
sources have it the Audio-Visual department plans to microfilm
students in order to conserve space.
3. - As its Bicentennial contribution to the nation,
McDonald's will bring out its stock of 200-year-old hamburgers.
4. - Due to the lack of any better candidates, the
Democratic and Republican parties will consider running
their mascots for President.
5. - Jim Johnson's next Bicentennial convocation will
feature Richard Nixon addressing the college community on
"Living the Honest Life."
Faith, politics discussed
by Bill Trollinger . .
This past Monday Bethel College hosted the UEvangelicals
and Politics in Minnesota" conference. This seminar,
fairly well attended by Bethel students and faculty and by
interested outsiders featured two key speakers and four
panels. The topics centered around the basic theme · of integrating
one's faith with the local and state political questions.
Dr. Paul Henry set the tone of the conference in his "kickoff"
address in chapel: "Evangelicals and State and Local
Politics: Some Reflections." Dr. Henry, a political science
professor at Calvin College, and a prominent Republican,
attempted to provide a rationale for Christians to participate
in politics, arguing that Christian evangelism, at its
fullest, demands social and political activity. G.W. Carlson,
Bethel political science professor, comments: HAlthough Dr.
Henry basically argued his point well, he needed to comment
more upon the issue of compromise and identification with
a political party, as it relates to Christians."
(Student opinions of the Chapel message seemed to lean
toward the negative. It is uncertain whether this is basic
ally due to anti-intellectualism on the part of Bethel students,
or to an inability to relate to the audience on the
part of Dr. Henry).
Panels in the conference dealt with such issues as "The
Church and the Political Arena," "Evangelicals and Criminal
Justice Politics," and "Evangelicals, Women and State Pol- .
itics." The latter was especially provocative. One Political
Science major (who desires to remain anonymous) commented,
"The 'feminist,' although an intelligent speaker,
tended to allow her personal bias to hinder the possibility
of an objective, Christian viewpoint in respect to Women's
Lib.';
. The "Evangelicals and Politics in Minnesota" conference
was another in a series of excellent academic conferences
at Bethel College.

I have heard many discussions, devotionals,
sermons, and Chapel messages geared
' to the topic of a personal quiettime
with God at least' once during
the day. The more I listen to these
talks, the more I have become aware
that Christians have a difficult problem
in keeping this time. The main excuse
for this deficiency is the lack of time
which is directly due to our productoriented

to make this quiet time a personal

Freshman gives spark to Royal cagers
Don Cary, a 6'2", 175-pound freshman
from Hopkins, Minnesota is a bright
new face on the Bethel basketball scene.
He has been a starter at guard for
a good part of the season, and has
proven himself as a talented player,
both offensively and defensively.
Don came to Bethel after a successful
career at Hopkins Eisenhower High
School where he was voted to the Subburban
Conference All-Conference team
for the 1974-75 season. When asked why
he chose Bethel, Don responded, eel was
impressed with Bethel's strong art department.
One of my teachers in high
school knew Gene Johnson and encour-
. aged me to attend here. Also, I wanted
to play basketball, and felt that Bethel
would provide a good a tmosphere for
athletics. "
This season has been a disappointing
one for Don and his teammates, and
their win-loss record of 1-11 is indicative
of the frustrations that they have
felt this year .
. ult's been a tough season for everyone,"
commented Don. uWe seem to
be playing better as a team" but we're
not winning ball games. We lack consistency
and experience as a unit. Talent-
wise we are as good as many teams
that we've played, but five or six minutes
of bad ball every game is killing us."
Interim Sports Schedule
Don enjoys playing for Bethel in spite
of the poor record however, and appreciates
his teammates, the coaches and
fans. We asked Don to share some of
his off-the-court interests for his many
fans. HI enjoy the Best Steak House,
and can be found there at least once
a week, sampling Louie's infam0ll:s fillet
and Texas toast. I'm really not into
country music like many of my teammates,
but I do enjoy C.W. McCall."

The first week of Interim the Bethel
Royals dropped two close games to Dordt
and Carlton, running their season record
to 1-11.
While both losses were disheartening,
the 84-83 overtime loss to Dordt College
of Iowa was especially frustrating, both
to the team and fans. The Royals played
a good game but relinquished a late
five point lead as Dordt came back
to send the game into overtime. Behind
by a point, Dordt scored with ten seconds
to go in overtime to take the lead.
A Bethel turnover sewed up the final
outcome.
Craig Oslin paced the Royals with
21 points. Paul Healy and freshman Don
Cary added 18 points apiece. Paul Healy
alf.:o pulled down 15 rebounds. Though
the team lost, the game was a wellfought
exciting game. The team certainly
deserved more fan support than they
got.
The Royals traveled to Carlton at the
end of the week. Again Bethel played
a close game but lost 74-66. The score
was tied 34-34 at the half. The Royals
hit 10 of 11 free throws to stay in
the game but it wasn't enough. Curt
Oslin scored a game high 26 points.
Paul Healy helped out with 14 points
and 10 rebounds.
Both games typified Bethel's play
throughout the season so far. In most
games, the Royals have played close
and competitive basketball with their
opponents. Inexperience of some players
and failure of others to play consistently
has plagued the Royals continually as
they have always managed except once
to come up on the short end of the
score. Through 11 games, the Royals
Tim Engebretson, iunior guard,
weaves through Dordt traffic with
ease.
have shot 43 percent from the field
and hit on 57 percent from the free
throw line.
Tonight the Royals begin conference
playas they take a weekend trip to
Iowa. Bethel will play Northwestern tonight
and play an afternoon game
at Westmar tomorrow. To turn the
season around and achieve a respectable
conference record, the Royals are
going to have to get steady, consistent
play, especially from key players. Lately,
Curt Oslin, averaging over 20 points a
game in the last five games, has been
carrying the team. He's been getting
help from different -players each game.
The Royals will need a full team effort
in conference play.
