o.c. coffee shop
enthusiastically
rece:ived
by Dawn Hart and Paul Healy
Following months of hard work, cutting
red tape, hiring procedures and just
plain sweat, the Old Campus Coffee shop,
alias the Roy L. Hop Memorial Union,
is now open. The coffee shop is located
in the basement of the old college
building on the southwest corner of Old
Campus and is operating Mondays and
Wednesdays from 7-11 p.m. and on Fridays
from 7-12 p.m.
This project was originally conceived
by Mark J ahnson and Bob Moeller last
spring during the Student Senate presidential
campaign. As reported in the
Clarion, March 14, 1975, it was included
as part of their presidential platform:
'To elaborate on what we mean by
social climate. . . we would like to see
a student union set up on the Old Campus
for students." This year the initiating
process was slow and complicated. When
the Special Projp.cts Committee failed
to take decisive action, Lanny Law took
the responsibility for the project.
Lanny soon found tha t the opening
of the Old Campus Coffee shop was
an involved process requiring the consent
of the Bethel administration, Paul Drake,
Glen Hayne, Wayne Erickson, the city
health inspector, fire inspector, and building
inspector. Lanny commented, "All
the people I talked with were really
friendly. Things just clicked. The Bethel
people were very cooperative and the
city inspectors really read the rules

Housing prop·osal praised
As we stated in an editorial earlier in the year (Feb.
20, 1976), the idea of integrating housing (in terms of men and
women) has become a distinct possibility. Responding to a
proposal presented by Mark Johnson and Bob Moeller, the Bethel
Housing Committee voted this past week to support
this concept of mixed housing. It is now up to the Bethel
administration to decide whether to implement this program.
Basically stated, the Johnson/Moeller proposal would
make Edgren and Hagstrom dorms integrated; i.e., men and
women on alternate floors and/or wings. On New Campus,
the townhouse clusters would become half-and-half in terms
of men and women. New Dorm and Bodien would be left
as is. New Dorm is presently seen as the best housing
situation on campus.
Key reasons given for accepting this proposal are as
follows:
1. It would provide natural environments for the development
of good relationships between men and women.
2. On New Campus, campus security could be enhanced
without any additional costs.
3. As seen in petition response, Old Campus students
on the whole want integrated housing.
4. This proposal would not compromise nor diminish Bethel's
reputation as a Christian higher educational institution.
5. This proposal would allow the freedom of choice in
where a student would live (i.e., Bodien would still be all
girls).
We are strongly in favor of this proposal, and applaud
our student administration for their foresight and deep

concern for the welfare of Bethel. Integrated housing at
Bethel should not be seen as a step backward in terms of
a Christian institution, but instead should be seen as a
progressive move toward establishing a policy commensurate
with the attributes of a growing Christian community. We
urge the Bethel administration to accept this proposal immediately,
thus allowing its implementation in the 1976-77
school year.
Students vote YES
Wednesday, March 10, the students of Bethel voted by
means of a student referendum to reduce the size of the
Student Senate from 33 to 20 members. Also, certain basic
functions of the Senate will be altered. The final vote was
599-40, approximately 93 percent in favor , of the proposal.
Needless to say we are excited about these results, and
congratulate the Senate for recognizing its bulkiness by
initiating effective legislation to improve itself. The students
proved their interest in the referendum by turning out in
impressive numbers at the "polls."
This new legislation does not guarantee an inspired and
effective Senate, however. The burden of proof will be on
the senators who will assume office this spring. If the
Senate is to make any significant improvement, those who
are elected to office must realize the importance of their
job and their responsibility to serve with enthusiasm and
dedication.
Hopefully, the new Student Senate administration, whoever
they will be, will capitalize on this new apparent interest
in the student body and the Senate, and will make
a maximum effort to maintain this level of enthusiasm
throughout the school year and into next year.

Rap treatise, Flameburger hailed
Dear Editor:
At the risk of leaving myself "naked" to your readers
and to Dale Johnson, 1'd like to respond to his letter.
Concerning the use of "rap terms," if you opt to use
those given by Dale, beautiful; if you choose others, super.
My point is that terms don't define a rap but rappers define
their own terms. The important thing, and I think
Dale would concur with me, is that there is a deep level
of understanding in the group. The terms chosen by Dale
were super! They weren't arbitrarily chosen but were very
descriptive words which most of us can relate to. I thank
you, Dale, for bringing raps into the open! I exhort you,
Bethel community, to partake!
Sincerely,
Randy Mitrovich

Senator prai$es Clarion coverage
Dear Sir:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
Clarion for the excellent coverage of the recent student
referendum. You were concise and showed the positive
attributes and faults of the bill. It was through this analysis
that the students were given valuable information that enabled
them to come to an intelligent decision concerning the
bill.
I hope that you realize how powerful your voice is, and
I hope that you would continue to use it in a manner that
will enhance the status of Bethel College.
It is quite obvious that you have a deep concern for
the Senate, combined with an analytical understanding of this
organization. Keep up the good work the rest of the year
and in the years to come. Whe~ the Senate and the Clarion
can work together on student issues, it is a rare but beneficial
occasion.
Sincerely,
Pete Anderson

review-
Crouch concert praised
Gospel music does not easily lend itself to objective
critique. Its subjective nature and religious base identify
it as an art form requiring Its own criteria for evaluation~
Distinctly American in its origin, gospel forms the basic
roots of all of American music. Its basic chordal and
rhythmic structures and itS ecstatic tendencies are present,
largely unchanged, in the rock music of today. Jazz, blues,
and country-western music are also among its offspring. Its
rich tradition Qolds much potential help for a nation suffering
from a cultUI:al . identity crisis. Gospel music is a unique,
cultural expression, and there is no greater contemporary
manifestation of gospel than Andrae Crouch and the Disciples.
Their concert here last week was an excellent example
of some of the essence and some of the potential of the
gospel idiom. The material was a tasteful balance between
tradition and innovation. Their execution of the material
was excellent, and their stage presence was, for the most
part, both professional and spiritually uplifting.
The music reached the ears of the two-thou sand-plus
audience via excellent sound equipment and personnel. The
sound .~as clear and bright and annoying technical problems
'were virtually nonexistent. Toward the beginning of the concert,
the music was not quite loud enough to fill the room,
and when the audience enthusiastically clapped along, the
music was almost buried.
.,
There were also balance problems. The guitar and organ
were usually inaudible, while the piano and drums were
usually overbearing. The drummer, lacking taste and restraint,
overplayed to th~ point of damaging the essential
simplicity of the music. On the 9ther hand, Andrae's piano
style was tasteful and simple, faithful to the tradition of gospel
music.
The outstanding feature of the concert was the vocal
performance. The singers all have beautiful voices. The
blend was superb and the pitch, though not perfect, was very
good. Most impressive of all was their mastery of the gospel
style of singing. The improvisational solos by the women
were beautifully expressive and true to the traditional blackgospel
style. Reminiscent of a tent-meeting revival, these
solos were enough to make even the critics shout, "Amen!"
One impressive quality of the group is their ability to
synthesize without compromise. They have incorporated many
contemporary rock and jazz ideas into their music, yet have
neither sacrificed the honest simplicitY of gospel nor coinpromised
its meaning as a cultural and religious expression.
Their music is true to its heritage. In a day when gospel
music has been commercialized and secularized almost to the
point of destruction, Andrae Crouch's music still rings of
honesty and genuine spirituality.
This is gospel music, a gut level expression of common
people. It is art in its purest form, not the bastard offspring
of an elite or an academic value system. It is not
subject to or limited by an arbitrary set of musical rules
and standards. It is a pure expression from the heart of
f1 culture, a unique art form with its own religiously based
standards. I have yet to witness a truer or better con·
temporary expression of this form than the music of Andrae
Crouch and the Disciples.

Professor exhorts Bethelites
to live on "growing edge"
by Dr. Phil Carlson
Visitors to OUr campus are very impressed with the
impact of our Christian faith on our campus life. After
four exhausting hours of interviewing students interested in
business vocations, Mr. Bob Hoel of Colorado State University
said he had never met students who impressed him
as much as the ones he met here. When Mr. George St.
Angelo, who arranges UMAIE tours for us, comes to our
campus he always mentions his delight because of the positive
signs of concern and respect which he finds here.
But I am convinced that each Christian must live on his
growing edge (an idea Bruce Larson introduced in his
book, Living on the Growing Edge) and for many of us that
growing edge is learning to live responsibly in a large Christian
community.
Allow me to illustrate what I mean. Back home many
of us use a cup from the kitchen in the bathroom as an
aid in cleansing our mouths after brushing our teeth. This
causes no problem because Mom picks up the cup periodically
and runs it through the dishwashing cycle. Here at
Bethel the residences do not have a family kitcheq available.
Some students act as if Doc Dalton's Coffee Corner
or the dining facilities of the college are the family
kitchen and 'borrow" coffee cups to use in their bathrooms.
In the larger community that Bethel- is, this causes a problem
for the community. Doc has had to add forty new
cups since the start of " Spring term. The food service at
Bethel has lost over 200 sauce dishes, 500 glasses, 300
knives, 400 forks, and 1200 spoons during this school year!
The cost to replace these items is over $1600. Toward the
end of the year shortages will make it difficult for the food
service to supply us with these items when we come to

eat. You see, raiding the "family kitchen" creates problems
in our large Christian community. Perhaps we ought to
provide for snack times in our rooms by purchasing our own
silverware and dishes.
Another thing in our family homes which we use with
ease is the family book collection. Though it may be modest,
we become used to the convenience of dictionaries, encyclopedias,
etc. which are close at hand. Some students treat
the reference collection in the ' LRC as if it is a family
book collection. Reference books (which are not supposed
to be removed from the LRC exc-ept with special permission)
are regularly found in seminar rooms, lounges, and dorm
rooms, having been set aside after a project was ,completed
outside of the LRC. In the Introduction to Liberal Arts
course last fall, many students were put at a great disadvantage
because some students treated the Bible commentary
books as books in a family library.
Because of the above observations I think that the growing
edge for Plany members of the Bethel community is
adequately illustrated' by the above examples.
" One coyld go on to talk about the appropriation of the
lounge furniture for "family living rooms" and a path across
the grass to the circle parking lot as a walk across the
family front lawn, but I think the pattern of behavior is
to learn to live as responsible Christians in a larger ' community.
Paul spoke about similar matters to the church
community at Philippi:
"If then ' our common life in Christ yields anything
to stir the heart, any loving consolation, any sharing
of the Spirit, any warmth of affection or compassion,
fill up my cup of happiness by thinking and feeling
alike, with the same love for one another, the same
turn of mind, and a common care for unity. Rivalry
and personal vanity should have no place among you,
but you should humbly reckon others better than yourselves.
You must look to each other's interests and
not merely your own."
PHilippians 2 :1-4 NEB
"Look to each other's interests." That's the key to living
on this growing edge. Don't take cups and silverware (because
others need them too). Leave reference b<><;>ks in the
LRC (because other students also have papers dueL Leave
lounge furniture where it belongs and keep the lounge neat
and upholstery clean (because other's interests ar~ at stake).
Don't destroy the lawn by shortcuts (because others appreciate
the beauty we destroy), Try living on this growing
edge. Try living responsibly in this large Christian community.
Do you have any cups, silverware, trays, books, or chairs
which you ought to return (because you are looking to the
interest of others)?

Devotional Guide
Most of us in our spiritual life are
like little children who come home from
school and request a certain type of
lunchbox, toy, dress or shirt with the
common statement: "But everybody has
one." How many times do we, in our
prayers, request from God that certain
talent, job, or relationship because everybody
else seems to have ' one?
God created all of us differently with
various talents, friends, and abilities
which we are more adept at than other
fellow-believers. Yet we always seem
to want to conform, not only with Christians
around us, but also with the material
status and social status of our nonChristian
neighbors. Many times in the
Bible we are warned 'against wanting
to fit into the establishment of this world.
We are exhorted to 'be of ' God's world,
not of this world in which we presently
live.
When we ask to be a part of the
status quo, we are assuming that God
is a type of vending machine. So often
we pray, "God, please give me that
special little thing 1 asked for by next
Thursday." We think that we have given
God .ample time to work at creating
circumstances appropriate for the giving
of that request, but actually, we haveonly
put limits on our faith and on
God also. We must learn that God is
not a vending machine where we put
a coin in the correct slot, press a panic
prayer button, or a magic prayer button,
and then pops out just the answer or
blessing we were waiting for. God does
not want us to be conformed to the
status of this world, or conformed to
other Christians. He will give us the
degree of conformity that he sees fit
to give, and we should not ask beyond
that degree. Next time we start to push
the panic button, or the magic button,
let's first consider whether the request
is within God's will for our lives. We
must learn to use our common sense
before we request something which only
aids in our conforming to this world
rather than to God's world and His
supreme plan for us.

broadly for us. That was one of the
nicest things, because we really needed
a coffee shop."
Past attempts at creating an Old Campus
social center have generally failed.
Two years ago, "Jimmy's," a coffee
shop located in the Bodien basement,
was developed by Jay and Gail Carress
This attempt, although it met with some
initial enthusiasm eventually died due
to declining interest.
Certainly the present coffee shop is
another experiment and its future will
be determined by student participation
and involvement. Ii>arryl Lindquist, who
was recently hired as manager of the
coffee shop explained, "It's more of a
helping service than a money-making
project. It's only an experiment, but
I hope it will work."
For the most part, student response
has been enthusiastic. The opening Friday
night, the coffee shop entertained
over 120 students. Other nights have
averaged nearly 50 with Monday being
the quietest night with the average of
30.
Present activities of the coffee shop
include ping-pong, rook, monopoly, and
other assorted box games. The atmosphere
is pleasant beneath the rustic open
beams and the low lit early American
lamps. Future plans for expansion include
the possibility of Friday night entertainment
(live music, Erick Borgenson's
dated Old Campus slides, and more
tournaments), and the establishment of
a lounge and television area.
The purpose behind the creation of
the Roy L. Hop Memorial Union is to
Old Campus residents enioy the comfortable atmosphere of the
Roy L. Hop Coffee Shop.

"encourage interaction on Old Campus
and to -get away from the dorm stigmas,"
stated Mark Johnson. "It's a different
place to meet rather than the
dorms because guys don't feel comfortable
in Bodien and girls don't feel at
home in Edgren." One girl agreed with
this when she commented, "We girls
have put up with a lot over the years.
Finally there is a way to meet the
men from Edgren."
"Through the use of the Old Campus
Coffee shop," said Bodien floor cooridinator
LuAnne Sheldon, "I have discovered
that the guys over in Edgren are pretty
nice and are fun to be with."
"It's a place for kids to congregate
and get to know each other," concluded
Lanny Law. "They have to make it
what they want it to be. We are not
there to entertain them, we have just
provided a place for interaction."
Regents to examine Bethel's distinctive obiedives
by Kathleen Asselin
The Board of Regents will convene
this month to determine the "distinctive
purposes and objectives" of Bethel College,
Bethel Seminary, and the new addition,
Vancouver Bible College, according
to the Chairman, Rev. John F. Anderson.
On March 18 and 19, the Regents
will meet for the first time on Vancouver's
campus since the college came
under the Board's jurisdiction last September.
The Regents, serving five year terms,
are elected three each year by the Baptist
General Conference through -nominating
committees. "The 15 Regents isolated
this meeting out of the four held during
the year for two priority items," stated
Anderson, pastor of Central Baptist
Church.
"The Deans of Bethel College and Sem-six
inary plus the President of Vancouver
Bible College have prepared statements
of the basic mission and function of
their institutions," he said.
"We will be questioning the accomplishments
of the purposes, taking a
closer look at which functions are similar
and which are distinctive."
Serving his second year as chairman,
Anderson continued, "The objective is
not to criticize or plan drastic changes
but to re-evaluate. As the overseeing
group responsible for the broad policies
of these institutions, the Board must
insure that the schools have the right
kind of management and ~eadership to
carry out their primary purpose."
He reflected on possible questions clarifying
the role of Bethel College: "Is
nursing, for instance, or business, some..:
thing that should be a part of Bethel?
Or is Bethel running the danger of being
too vocational-oriented rather than a truly
liberal arts college?"
The second major item on the agenda
for the meeting is to become better
a9quainted with Vancouver Bibl'e College,
including a look at "how the needs
of the Baptist General Conference and
the cause of Christianity are served
through the college," in the words of
the chairman.
Coordinator for the meeting, acting
President Harvey DeVries described the
philosophical statements offered by Dean
Brushaber and his contemporaries: "The
focus is on establishing a comprehensive
program for higher education in all three
schools - serving distinctive purpos~s
without duplicating or overlapping.
"It's not on a competitive level," he
added, "but just to make sure all the
bases are covered."
Victory, records spaJrk
Royals; Mac tomorrow
Last Saturday was the first good meet the Bethel track
team has had so far in their indoor season. Although finishing
behind extremely strong st. John's University, which
boasts a sixty-man team roster, Bethel whipped the North
Dakota State School of Science and set three new school
records on their way to second place. Total scores showed
St. John's with 95%, Bethel with 41% and NDSSS with
21.
Individually, Larry Caldwell, competing for the first time
in three weeks because of illness, led the scoring for the
Royals with eight points. Caldwell won the mile-run with
a 4 :22.9 timing and placed second in the two-mile run,
setting a new school record of 9 :42 in the process, ten
seconds better than the old mark. Curt Brown was another
record breaker in the 600-yard dash, winning the event with
an excellent time of 1 :15.4. Bruce Peterson's 13' jump in
the pole vault gave him first place as did the 41' 4%"
triple jump effort of Jon VanLoon, who also placed fourth
in the long jump. The mile-relay team consisting of Steve
Hage, Dave Clapp, Brown, and Bill Whittaker also set a
new school record of 3 :32.6 as they placed second.
Other scorers for the team were Phil LaGesse, placing second
in the pole vault; Dan Hogan, third in the triple
jump and fourth in the high jump; Steve Riddle, fourth
~n' the triple jump; and Steve Carrigan, third in the shotput.
Whittaker was also third in the 600-yard dash. Brad
Strom, Clapp, and Scott Anderson each grabbed a fourthplace
spot in the two-mile run, the 1000-yard dash, and the
220-yard intermediate hurdles, respectively.
Coach Gene Glader said he was very pleased with the
team's performance. "It was a very good meet for us
because almost everyone competing had their personal best
performances," he explained. Glader noted that the score
might have been a lot closer, but because of injuries and
sickness, the team had no participants in the short sprint
and hurdle events. He added that "this meet should really
give the team the confidence they need for the rest of
the indoor season."
The next indoor track meet for the Royals is Saturday
night at 6 p.m. in the Macalester College fieldhouse, located
next to their football stadium. The five-team meet
will feature St. Thomas, Augsburg, and Golden Valley, as
well as Macalester. Bethel is the defending meet champion.
The team encourages everyone to come and cheer them
on.

Artists work with bronze
January Interim at Bethel College gave birth to 27
individually conceived experiments in bronze casting by
11 student artists according to the traditions of ancient
foundry SCUlpture. The breadth of ideas and deft expression
of their skills are on display at the Bethel Gallery in
Arden Hills through March 25.
The students met daily for a month, talking about casting,
viewing slides and examining pieces of bronze. Together
they explored foundry procedures and frequently
spent long night hours in bringing their ideas to form. The
exhibition is a monument to their work.
It reveals autobiographical expression: the agony of
Nancy Robinson's cat - bisected in a door; the shy expressiveness
of Jill Pfotenhauer's younger sister; the courageous
character Joan Brand saw in an old woman with
a wart on her brow.
And ideas evolved from natural forms: Cam Johnson's
alluring apple or Steve Johnson's decrepit work gloves;
Bruce Madvig's ceremonial cup or Carol Zeches' unfolding
flowers.
And there were contrasts in finished forms: Beryl Wells'
fleshy figure compared with Martha Barker's lean nudes;
Lloyd Green's sleek mask profile poised upon rough-hewn
claws; Carl Erickson's mixed media pieces made of clay,
plexiglass and bronze; varieties of presentations on barn
board, tree trunk or smoothly finished wood.
In all, the gallery boasts twenty-seven proud conceptions
from a foundry workshop experience that would stand
