Chuck Ha,aland tOI lend experie,nce
to Se,nate pro-tern position
Chuck Haaland, a senior from Forest
City Iowa, was elected pro-tem of the
Bethel Student Senate in a meeting last
Tuesday evening. Ohuck held the same
position last year, and has the most
seniority of anyone involved in the Senate.
"The job of pro-tem is one of the
key positions in the Senate," commented
Haaland. "It will certainly be a tremendous
challenge due to the restructuring
of the Senate and the additional
emphasis on senators serving on committees,
and general student enthusiasm."
This will be Chuck's fourth year in
Senate. He has previously served on
the Admissions, Convocations, Traffic
and Safety, and Finance committees,
as well as spea~heading the Heritage
project.
"Hopefully, my experience will be helpful,
as I have attended Regents meetings
this year, and I know something
about the feelings and problems facing
Bethel presently. I also have some idea
of how the Regents think, and that is
quite important. This should be of help
to Pete (Taylor) too, as he is new
to this."
The responsibilities of the pro-tem include
running the Senate meetings when
the Vice-President is not there, attending
all Board of Regents meetings and
working in connection with all the student/
faculty committees.
"I'm excited about next year," concluded
Chuck. "Hopefully we will have
a great year. Also I am expecting a
much improved Clarion, with a far better
editor to work with. May Healy rest
in peace."

Senate, Comm Board drop KA-BY;
limited outreach, financial woes cited
by Dawn Hart
After three years of controversy over
the investments which are annually soaked
into the Bethel College radio station
KA-BY, the Senate, after recommendation
from the Communications Board,
has voted to withdraw all funding.
Following a debate on the question
of retaining KA-BY, the Communications
Board unanimously agreed that the investments
in the station should be halted
at the end of May. Reasons cited for
the dismissal of funding, as stated by
Dave Johnson, Communications Board
chairman, include: 1) KA-BY does not
adequately serve the entire Bethel Community;
2) the radio station is offering
only a limited academic experience; 3)
financial figures show an inadequate return
on investments; 4) the money could
be more beneficial to students if spent
in a better way.
Don Anderson, current KA-BY manager
agreed that it was up to the Bethel
community and the Senate to decide
the future of KA-BY. "I think it is
too bad that things happened the way
they did, though. I won't blame anyone
in particular because that's sour grapes.
I hope, however, that student interest
in electronic media won't die because
of these circumstances."
"KA-BY has had a hard history," explained
Anderson. "It's all a matter
of people's attitudes, especially those
who control the pocketbook. We were
always considered losers, so we were
amazed at the ground we gained. I
guess we started taking it for granted.
Now we've just been slapped in the
face to wake us up."
There are several remaining controversies
in regard to KA-BY which must
be settled. It is hoped that the equipment
which will sit idle from the broadcaster's
viewpoint, will be put to good
use. However, the Senate has struck
the gavel, and the station is now dead.

Media values analyzed
As reported this week in the Clarion (page 1), the Communications
Board and the Student Senate have recently
voted to withdraw financial support of radio station KA-BY
for the school year 1976-77. This decision is the culmination
of years of heated debate concerning the viability of KA-BY.
In making value judgments concerning Bethel media,
as was apparently done in respect to KA-BY, we feel that
certain principles must be applied, certain factors taken
into account. The key question that must be asked is:
"Is the medium (be it Clarion, Spire, KA-BY, or Coeval)
important to the Bethel community?" Obviously, this is a
difficult question, but it includes within it the examination
of certain factors, such as scope, general value, and popular
support. In other words, is it a meaningful medium that
services, and is supported by, a substantial segment of the
community?
One of the problems in attempting to answer the above
question lies in the fallacy of judging the whole by its
parts. In other words, its the fallacy of judging the Clarion or
the Spire as an institution by the content of particular
Clarions and particular Spires. If a certain segment of the
community dislikes a certain yearbook or a certain newspaper
editorial policy, cries to abandon or radically alter
the institution are heard. This, to us, seems ridiculous_ No
medium will ever satisfy all groups in the community. Content
and publication (broadcast) policies change every year;
if, as seems to have been the case with KA-BY, the medium
fails, over a period of years, to meet the needs of the
community, then it is time for strong action. Not before.
The Communications Board is the committee empowered
and qualified to make such a judgment. The Board consists
of individuals who have specialized abilities and interests
relating to Bethel media. It is important that this Board,
because it is entrusted with such a responsibility, take
seriously these" considerations in aU decision making.
We hope that KA-BY was dumped according to these
general principles. And we hope that each medium will be
judged according to these same principles_

My Opinion
by Bryan King
Many people may ha ve been left confused after Bethel's
observance of National Food Day, April 8th. However,
the industrious elves who faithfully put cupcakes in our P.O.
boxes every spring were not completely caught off guard.
I appreciated the special consideration they showed by giving
me a healthful nutritious snack of celery, asparagus and
carrot, instead of the traditional cupcake_ Next year maybe
we'll get whole wheat muffins with apple butter.
It may very well be that elves, being Irish, are in a
better position to understand what Food Day meant since
some of the basic Food Day concepts are contrary to the
typical American mentality. Therefore I will devote the
remainder of this discussion to regular people.
The basic concepts relating to food problems can all be
identified in one basic assumption: every world citizen bas the
right to an adequate amount of reasonably priced, nutritious
food.
Considering this right from a global perspective we are
called to view the world hunger problem in terms of oppressive
economic and social systems, government food
policy, foreign affairs and control of resources, :and agriculture.
We should help poor countries win back control of
their resources and develop improved agricultural production.
We should view welfare measures that intervene only in
famine situations (handouts) as inadequate emergency actions
whenever such :actions are not accompanied by efforts
to improve the economic and agricultural situation of the
recipient.
As Christians we should be trying to remove conditions
that cause hunger and poverty. This means longer range
solutions that involve bringing our fellow man a brighter
future, not just a hold-over until the next famine.
A Christian organization which is currently involved in
bringing about such change is Bread For the World. I hope
to see Bethel start an Institutional Membership in this organization
which would allow us to learn about, and participate
in affirmative action at the government policy level.
This group has lobbyists on their staff and stUdents could
write to their representatives to influence legislation. (Contact
P.O. 524 for information about Bread For the World,)
A personal feeling that I have about the philanthropic
model of relating to hunger is that it may indirectly reinforce
economic and social roles that are oppressive to the
recipient while at the same time the giver feels that he
has taken care of his responsibility to his fellow man. Gifts
of money regardless of the amount, can become meaningless
acts of tokenism and self-righteousness if our total lives
do not reflect the concern we have. If our personal eating
habits (use of meat as the primary source of protein,
,over-eating and other unwise use of nutritional resources) do
not reflect the concern we Christians claim to have for hungry
people, how are we any different than the average guy
who throws away his food dollars at Farrell's Ice Cream
Parlour?
Money alone can be a very cheap impersonal thing
until it begins to effect our way of life.
Claiming our right to reasonably priced, nutritious food
in our own country can also be a problem. There is reason
to suspect that our freedom of choice, and our free enterprising
economy are being controlled by the food industry.

Corea 'iazz-concert "incredible"
by Dave McSparran '
Perhaps the most significant trend in
music in the 1970's has been the merging
of previously independent styles. Musicians
who have found rock music aesthetioally
unsatisfying, classical music
too limiting, and jazz unprofitable, have
united the best elements: the sophistication
and freedom of expression of
jazz and the audience involvement and
the energy of rock.
As jazz was slowly academicizing itself
to death in the early 1960's, jazzmen
denounced rock and roll while they
watohed it grow continually more popular.
With the coming of the '70's and·
the growing sophistication of the rock
idiom, the younger jazz musicians began
to incorporate the appealing energy of
rock into their styles.
One of the foremost leaders of the
jazz-rock merger was a jazz pianist named
Chick Corea, who in 1973 formed
the band that was to become the topranking
group in its field. "Return to
Forever" has since recorded five albums
along with solo albums by the group's
drummer, Lenny White, and bassist Stanley
Clarke.
Sunday night, April 10th, Chick Corea
and "Return to Forever" appeared in
concert at Orchestra Hall, which unfortunately
does not have the best accoustics
for that type of concert. Many
of the finer, more subtle colorings could
not be heard and the very fast unison
passages were muddled by their own
echoes.
I had seen them before in a much
smaller and more suitable room where
the sound was much rounder and softer
'and the incredible precision with which
the band plays was much more evident.
Yet the band was no less incredible
than when I last saw them. The rhythmical
precision with which they play
is almost inhuman. If, in fact, I were
to name an outstanding ,weakness, it
would be the band's (and the audience's)
preoccupation with speed and precision.
Yet is was not as if I · were listening
to a machine. Their precision was delicately
balanced by the tastefulness of
their composition. The melodic lines were
artfully balanced between the concrete
and the abstract, between the familiar
and the unfamiliar.
With a haunting, mysterious familiar·
ity, the melody lines would tempt me
into following them only to hear them
melt into unidentifiable abstraction, leaving
me lost, not unhappily, in the maze
of their complexity. The music never
quite allowed me to remain either coolly
detached or ecstatically involved, but
held me and pushed and pulled me
somewhere in between. I listened intently,
yet without a great flood of emotion.
This spell was tastefully complimented
by slides of early Rennaissance frescoes
shown on two large screens behind the
performers.
There were a few times when an
improvisation would become excessively
long, my mind would start to wander,
and the spell would be broke:n. These
periods, however, were remarkably few
and short, and my attention would soon
be pulled back to the music.
There were distractions to be dealt
with also, the least of which not being
the noisier members of the audience.
Then there was the gaudy "Return to
Forever" written in ' flashing lights that
awkwardly descended from the ceiling

during the last piece, hanging crooked
above the stage .
These distractions were easily bearable
in light of the overall excellent produc·
tion. With no warm-up act, one intermission
and one encore, the ' concert
was a perfect length. The various pieces
were also well-placed with regard to
their mood and intensity.
The encore 'piece ended with a very
loud and grandiose fanfare that seemed
an appropriate final statement. It left
me with the feeling that I got my money's
worth and it was time to go home.

·Dr. ~ene Glader will be P.E. department chairman
in new administrative set-up.
Athle,tic dept. split studied
by David Kevin Shelley
With the intent to "raise the significance 'of intercollegiate
sports ~nd intramurals in the larger context of student
development," · as Dean Brushaber expressed, a committee
is examining the possibility of separate leadership
of the PE and athletic departments.
The ad hoc committee, made up of students, faculty,
coaches, alumni and administrators, was appointed by the
dean to "review ' our intercollegiate and intramural programs
and priorities in relation to our objectives," he said.
"Most schools either combine the PE and athletic departments
or run them independently," said Dr. Brusha-ber.
"We've had separate budgets, but that's all. .
"Our idea is to have separate budgets and separate '
directors reporting to the dean," he said. Currently Dr.
Eugene Glader serves as athletic director and PE depart-ment
chairman. '
Dr. Glader has been llsked to remain PE chairman, but
others are under consideration for the athletic director pOsition.
Under separate directors, Dean Brushaber said that the
PE department chairman would report to the dean, while the
athletic director would first report to Dr. Nettleton, Dir-ector
of Student Affairs. .
"I believe the intercollegiate athletics should contribute
to the total benefit of the students," the Dean stated. "With
the athletic department reporting to Dr. Nettleton it will be
integrated with our objectives.
"It won't make more coaches or more dollars in the
budget, but it should aid in the growth of students involved,"
Dr. Brushaber said.
One of the problems the committee will have to deal with,
according to Dr. Nettleton who chairs it, is how much emphasis
there is upon intercollegiate athletics and intramurals.
"~tercollegiate athletics has something to do with the
rapport of the school," Dr. Nettleton stated. "We feel it i's

__ .Sld
important to have a high-quality program. Our music and
drama groups are high-quality - our athletics should be.
"However, the intramural program is designed to involve
more students and' right now I doubt that it includes as
many as our intercollegiate athletics," he said. (
"Whether there is a lack of· interest or a lack of a good
intramural program is something we will have to deal with,"
he continued.
"I am anxious to see intramurals become a much more
significant program," Dean Brushaber said.. "We'd like . to
broaden the list of intramural activities to get more students
involved and bring more together - commuters and campus
kids."
Dr. Nettleton also brought up the role of women's athletics
as a Point the committee must discuss. "Women's
athletics is getting much bigger in the high schools," he
said~ "It needs more. attention in college."
The committee will also consider reasonable assignment
loads for coaches, who will serve in both departments, and
the sharing of facilities.
"There is no ~onflict between the PE and athletic departments
time-wise," Dr. Nettleton said. "There are more
problems between facilities for men and women, and for
intramurals and athletics."
Committee members are: Dr. Nettleton, chairman; Robert
Weathers, representing the men's PE; Shirley Dawson,
women's PE; Greta Holland and Steve Whittaker, students;
Daie 'Stephens, athletic committee; Jim Bragg; college relations;
Tim Weko, alumni; and Chub Reynolds, athletic
department.

For example, 80 percent of all vended foods are junk foods.
Closer to home, five out of five vending machines near the
coffee shop sell solid junk. Ninty percent of the food offered
in the typical grocery store has been overly refined, being
subjected to additives such as sugar, salt, artificial flavoring
and coloring, preservatives that are intended to prolong shelf
life, not your life. Ninety-five percent of all food advertising
is for junk foods and directed at little children.
Is this the American ideal of "free choice?" Maybe
its time we started talking about fair choice. Every person
should have natural untampered with food available without
the need for Nutrition World and other rip-off food freak
stores. Every person should have the right to grow up without
being conditioned by the mass media to make poor choices.
Our right to nutritious food has been seriously infringed
upon as well. Because of the problems referred to above and
the increased use of processed foods, pesticides and growth
hormones in livestock, we are facing a disastrous future.
After World War II Americans unleashed their technologyon
the food supply. Since then the quality of OUr diets
has progressively gone down hill. Consumption of dairy
products is down 21 percent, vegetables down 23 percent,
fruit down 25 percent. But during the same period the consumption
of soft drinks went up 80 percent, pastry up 70
percent and other junk ' snack foods went up 85 percent.
Diet related diseases such as obesity, heart disease,
diverticulosis, constipation, diabetes and bowel cancer account
for about one-half of all deaths in the United States
at present 1 Time will tell what effect today's typical diet
will have on our generation.
It is true that our average life expectancy may be
going up. This is due to the fact that vacines and other
improved medical practices have prolonged life to the point
where we have an increased opportunity to die from these
slower, degenerating, diet-related diseases.
I will let the reader draw his own conclusion to this
article. However, I would like 0 offer some ways in which
we can be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Develop an awareness of the political and economic
factors in world hunger. Spend your own food dollars wisely.
Reduce your consumption of meat. Learn combinations of
grains, seeds, nuts, etc., that may have protein which is
better for your body. Never buy Or consume junk foods and
explain why to other Christians when they ask. Shop at
co-op stores for natural, unprocessed foods at reasonable
prices as a boycott of the comerciallized food industry.
Join a buying Co-op :at Bethel (contact P.O. 1769). Let
the Bethel Food Service know that you insist on your right
to nutritious, additive-free foods. - (They are very open to
this kind of change.) Join the Minnesota Food Coalition or

1- A Last Wind
by Mark Johnson
and Bob Moeller
It is difficult to summarize a year's experience in
student government. There are just too many experiences,
faces, and events to sort through. Yet looking back, we'd
like to share some of what remains in our minds as significant
in terms of Senate activity:
1) Campus Security - The deep concern we expressed
last summer to the Board of Regents over the inadequate
state of security on campus, we believe helped to facilitate
the implementation of new procedures, e.g. lights around
the townhouses and parking lots, and controlled entrances.
We also suggested student patrols which has not yet been
acted on.
2) World Awareness - a.) We sent money during the
collapse of S. Viet Nam to aid relief efforts. b.) $1000.00
through World Vision. This January through a marathon
basketball game we raised nearlY' $1000.00 for Midwest Challenge.
Bethel has taken the leadership in organizing a nationwide
effort of hunger relief around Christian Colleges to begin
April 21st. Bethel's goal is well over $5000.00. c.) Bethel also
took the leadership in recycling waste paper on campus,
which is now being adopted throughout the nation by other
Christian Colleges. d.) Bowl of Rice program.
3) On Campus concerns - a.) The opening of a student
center on Old Oampus was realized the beginning of second
semester with the Roy L. Hop Memorial Union. b.) Input
was given into the formation of new integrated housing
patterns on Old and New Campus. c.) Bookdrops and coatracks
were added to meet the demands of higher enrollment.
d.) An · effort was made to begin a student fundraising
campaign to build more buildings. e.) Campus activities
included school-wide forums during chapel to confront
administrators. f. ~ Public debates in the AC Lounge.
4) Financial support of campus activities - a.) International
Students Club. Women's track, Senior retreat weekend
and Doc Dalton's coffee corner (replaced cups).
5) Representation - American Association of Evangelical
Students, Christian College Consortium, Board of Regents,
Minnesota Association of Private Colleges, Faculty
Meetings, and other various student-faculty committees.

Devotional Guide
In Matthew, some of Jesus' teachings
on the Kingdom of Heaven are recorded
in the Beatitudes. There, Jesus listed
many of the discouragements of the
human race and then teaches how he
will turn those to joys in , heaven.
Throughout the Bible's teachings on the
,Kingdom of Heaven, we find that God
.wants us to humble our spirits and
become as accepting as children, for
then and only then ' can we fully trust
God to carry through his promises. Each
day this week, read Matthew 5:1-12 before
the reading listed, and if you have
time, memorize those promises on the
Kingdom of Heaven.

Finals Week this year witl not be
as devoid of humor as is custom, because
the Clario~, with its deep devotion
to the Bethel ' community and the
American heritage, will publish a special
Bicentennial-gonzo issue. For a twist in
perspective, we will feature Bethel on
its 200th anniversary. This is in keeping
with our distorted view of journalism,
history, and reality in general. ·For instance,
we will give a progress report
on the fund-raising for our 73rd Heritage
project. '
In conjunction with this, the Clarion
is sponsoring. two special events. One
of these is the Bicentennial cartoon contest.
This ponstitutes our second attempt
to drum up interest, and (we think)
our last attempt. 'Maybe our newly crea
ted $10 a ward money will inspire more
entries than Trollinger's "Paul Revere '
on a Horse." Sorry, Bill, no stick figures.
The second is our Clarion-sponsored
American Revolutionary golf epic. This
tournament is open to all in the Bethel
community. The guidelines are simple:
one hacker and one golfer (or two hackers)
per twosome. The greens committee
(Healy and Trollinger) will rule on "golfer"
or "hacker" status. And, coincidentally,
Healy and Trollinger are the first
team to enter (on the hacker ticket).
Enter now - put your twosome names
in P.O. 91. (Yes, Al Glenn, you are
a hacker.)

Ask Von · Schueller
Dear Dr. Von Schueller:
Now that spring is here I'm finally getting around to
doing some work on my car. Lately it's making a funny
noise when I step on the gas quickly. What could be
wrong? Also, what can I do to improve my gas mileage
without sacrificing any power?
Max
My dear Max:
Since you did not provide any sp~cific information about
your car, Le., year, make and model, mileage, etc., I shall
confine myself to general suggestions applicable to any
vehicle. Regarding the "funny noise" that accompanies rapid
acceleration, the following tests are pretty basic:
1. Examine the muffler bearings; they should be cleaned
and regreased every 3,000 miles. If any are pitted or cracked,
replace the whole set.
2. Check for cracks in the radiator manifold. Minor
cracks can b~ filled with Liquid Iron. If the break is too
serious, you'll need to drop in a torque-adjusted expansion
plate.
3. Check the fan ,belt linkage and adjust to the specs
listed in your owner's manual.
4. Test your rerarculator. If your car is at least five
years old and has original equipment, you might need to
replace it. It's probably losing compression. In such a case
I would strongly suggest that you ignore the standard
manual specs and have it set to .003 tolerance.
5. Is it possible that your distributor reroute valves
are sticking? If so, throw them out; they're just not worth
the trouble of fixing. (I recommend the new % hex-head
chrome-plated model.)
6. Check your voltage regulator bypass hoses. These '
are almost always improperly installed. There should be at
least 3/16" clearance between these and your alternator
mounting clamps.
7. Drain the ignition timing vacuum line and flush it
out.
Granted, Max, these are fairly general sugge.sti9ns,
non-technical in nature. But you want maximum mileage
and power, so perhaps we should turn our attention to high
performance considerations.
You have doubtless given due attention to the omnipresent
carburetion dilemma. Simply stated, Max, the carburetor
count will vary in direct proportion to your topend
expectations. If you're satisfied with the 120-130 range,
then dual quads will probably be quite sufficient. Ho ever,
if you are really serious about maximum horse power and
M.P.K.'s, then certain other major engine alterations will
be in order.
Proceeding from the assumption that you are already
operating with a 5-speed turbo-hydromatic posi-traction fuel
injected ' powerplant, I would ask you to seriously consider
major revisions in your camshaft crankcase system. In short
.:::.- bore it out. Although the popularity of the reverse power
bore is undisputed, I am going to recommend that you . go
with the miniature metric hand bore. Although this will
require more time and effort, it will almost eliminate the
eight
possibility of overboring with its concomitant danger to the
positive crankcase ventilation valve. Overboring, as you well
know, may also leave you with overtaxed circuit breaker
components and' might even pop the differential.
I would guess that your piston-pulley release latch is
kicking in at 6,000 r.p.m.'s. Obviously, this is costing you
'at least 2 h.p. as well as putting undue strain on the gearbox
crankshaft.
In the final analysis, Max, it · all depends on what you
want and what you have to spend. If it were my car, I
would automatically install new einsteinium heads and a calibrated
master cylinder intake gauge. Then I ' would adjust
the brake shoe linkage to a high-performance tolerance of
.007. I would also double the number of generator stabiliZlation
ban and change the piston firing order from 1-8
4-3-6-5-7-2 to 3-7-4-8-1-6-2-5. If I had any money left, I would
change the stroke from 4.206" to 4.372" and push all the
rods to the clutch fork joint and cross-shaft the pressure
fitting. This would increase your mileage from 3 mpg to
4 mpg.
Well Max, there are a few routine check pOints. Good
luck, and let me know how things work out.
Sincerely,
Dr. Von Schueller

Gall softballers
capture opener
by Jim Morud
The Bethel women's softball team,
sporting their brand new royal blue and
gold uni's, out-colored, out-scored, and
out-fielded their foe Tuesday afternoon
in their season debut. The Royals defeated
St. Mary's College from Winona
before a home crowd of fourteen lighthearted
fans by a score of 13-6 at Perry
Field.
Senior Carla Gustafson started the Bethel
momentum early in the first inning
as she laid down a perfect bunt just
on the fair side of the third base line
for at! easy single. Julie Peterson followed
with a triple-base hit, driving in
Gustafson for the score. Terry Schimbeno
followed with another triple and an RBI.
Kim Modica sent Schimbeno in to score
as she sacrificed with a flyball to centerfield.
Sheri Drenner circled the diamond
for another score as she stole a couple
free bases and smartly took advantage
of an overthrow. The first inning ended
with Bethel ahead 4-0. The Royals maintained
their lead and their superiority
in the field throughout the game .
Cindy Martin provided the pitching
arm for the Royals, whizzing the ball
past four SMC batters for strike-outs.
Kim Modica and Terry Schimbeno each
contributed homeruns, menacing the
over-worked SMC outfielders more than
they appeared to be up for that day .
Bethel riddled the outfield with long,
solid drives for most of their fourteen
base hits.
"Everyone played, and everyone played
well," said Coach Ralph Gustafson. He
and his wife, ,Lynn, are team-coaching
this ye~r's sq':lad. Already the Royals
have equaled their last year's total wins.
Yesterday, April 22, the Royals went
to Northfield to play Carleton and St.
Olaf. Tomorrow, April 24, at 10:00 A.M.,
they take on Gustavus at home in a
double-header.

Thinelads second In quadrangular
host Bethel-Mac relays tomorrow
On Saturday, April 10, the Bethel track
team hosted a quadrangular meet held
at the Ramsey High School track. Par·
ticipating in their first outdoor meet
as a team, the squad looked very respectable
with their second place finish. Bemidji
State University won the meet with
84% points, followed by Bethel with 44.%,
the University of Wisconsin at Super,ior
with 36%, and Concordia College with
16%.
Running in ideal weather condit~~:ms,
there were many individual highlights
jn the meet and many members of the
team had personal lifetime best performances.
Among the highlights ' were Gene
Blair's 49.6 first place finish in the 440-
yard dash; Larry Caldwell's 4:21 secondplace
finish in the mile run; and Dave
Clapp and Curt Brown's one-two finish
in the 880-yard dash, with times of 1:
57.8 and 1 :58, respectively. Scott Anderson
grabbed a second-place in the 440·
yard intermediate hurdles and Steve
Hage finished the day with a third in
the 440-yard dash and a fourth in the
220-yard dash. Greg Kramer also gained
a fourth-place in the three-mile run as
ten
did Clapp in the mile run. In the relay
events, Bethel's mile relay team of Hage,
Brown, Bill Whittaker, and Blair won
their event in a time of 3 :29.1 while
the 440-relay team of Doug Harrison,
Bruce Peterson, Phil LaGesse, and Blair
finished second.
In the field events, Ward Anderson
and Peterson led the way with their
second-place finishes in the javelin
throws and the pole vault, throwing 166'·
11" and jumping 13', respectively. Steve
Carrigan dominated the weight events
for the R'Oyals with a third-place finish
in the discus and a fourth-place in the
shot put. Jon Van Loon grabbed a fourth
in the triple jump, as did Paul Rasmussen
in the pole vault. Tomorrow

at the Macalester College track
in St. Paul. Among the colleges participating
will be Hamline, St. Johns, Carleton,
Concordia-Moorhead, and St. Thomas.
This meet is one of the most exciting
on the team's schedule and will
offer the toughest and best competition
of the season. The field events begin
,at 12 :30 and the running events start
at 2 :00.
WOimen's traick
team improve-s
un,der D:awso,n
by Jim Morud
"I kick 'em in the pants a lot."
That's how Shirley Dawson explained
why her women's track team continues
to improve. But she says it in a warm,
concerned tone of voice that lets you
know she's trying to help the people
she works with. And because of her
encouragement, the women on the team
seem to ha ve a common respect for
her.
But there is also ' something unique
about the Bethel women's tvack team.
Many of the members of the team had
never participated in track before entering
college.
So why does a girl drop her studies
for two hours each afternoon to trade
that time for an intense workout 'On
the cincered oval?
Pam Hathaway, a sophomore art-elementary
education major, said, "After
exercising my mind all day in school,
I felt it would give me a balance to
have physical exercise. Also, track has
helped me to get involved with other
people outside the art clique."
Debbie Anderson, a somphomore music
major, added, "Running has improved
my lung capacity. It helps to have
healthy lungs in order to sing well. "
Others agreed that the conditioning
helps them to relax more, sleep better,
and even concentrate harder for studying.
But why choose such a demanding
sport as track? Coach Dawson explained
that track has some advantages that
other sports cannot afford.
"If you're really excellent as an individual,
then you can go as far as you
are capable of advancing - whereas
in team sports you can only go as
far as your team is able."
This is a building year for the women's
track team. Only two of the participants
are second-year runners. The remainder
are first-year performers.
"They have good attitudes and they
work very hard," commented Coach
Dawson. "But three months of training
doesn't make you a track athlete. It
takes about two years to make you
competitive in track."
On Monday, April 26, at 4 p.m., the
Bethel women's track team fin compete
at Macalester College in their final meet
of the season. The following Monday,
May 3, they will participate in the state
meet held at Mankato.
