High attrition has no simple cause
The Bethel College Debate
Team attended the University
of Richmond Invitational
March 26- 28 in Richmond,
Virginia and took top honors
in several categories. The
tournament attracted teams
from 12 states.
Representing the college in
the CEDA division were Gor-don
Fowler and Debbie Van
Mark. Debating the topic Re-solved:
"That individual
rights of privacy are more
important than any other
Constitutional rights," this
team of sophomores made it
to the quarter-final round
with a 4-4 record.
In the quarter finals Van
Mark and Fowler beat the
University of New Mexico on
a 2-1 decision. In the semi-final
round of debate the team
lost a 1 - 2 decision to another
team from the same school.

"I don't think I'm coming
back to Bethel next year. I
may transfer to the U." Does-that
sound familiar? It should.
Bethel's attrition percentage
is higher than that of most
Minnesota private colleges.
The figures listed are two
years old, but the trend re-mains
the same.
Reasons for this poor reten-tion
rate vary. "The four rea-sons
we hear most often,"
Said Daniel Nelson, director
of enrollment, "are 1) stu-dents
want a specific major
that Bethel doesn't offer
2) they want to live closer to
home 3) their money is short
so they need a cheaper school,
and 4) their parents just want
to 'innoculate' them for a year
at Bethel."
Most transferring students
only planned to spend one or
two years at Bethel, accord-ing
to questionnaires filled
out by those who have de-parted.
"Unfortunately, many
people have the idea of com-ing
to Bethel only to get a
Christian background," said
Tricia Brownlee, associate
dean for academic programs.
"After that it's on to a 'real'
school."
Brownlee headed a task
force in 1979 that studied the
reasons behind poor retention.
In a report given to the presi-dent,
the task force suggested
ways to improve Bethel's
overall program so students
would stay, but few were car-ried
out. "I wish more had
been done," said Brownlee.
"But we did raise awareness
in the Bethel commuity."
Most often suggested was a
re-evaluation of the lifestyle
statement, including input
from faculty, administration,
and students. However, no
committee has handled this
specific issue. "The lifestyle
is continually a topic of con-versation,"
said Brownlee.
"Ad hoc groups have dis-cussed
it, but nothing official
has been done. We need to re-evaluate
lifestyle because
some think it should be broad-ened
to include social issues."
A problem was cited of stu-dents
leaving Bethel either
because they became disillu-sioned
over lifestyle viola-tions
by others or because
they cannot live by it.
"Financial problems have
really become an issue in the
last two years," said Nelson.
"Government aid meets a
smaller percentage of student
needs.
A $100 enrollment fee was
added to force transferring
students to inform the Stu-dent
Development Office why
they were leaving. "It's too
late to help them after they're
gone," said Brownlee. "If they
tell us in April we can help
them. If finances are the prob-lem
we'll check to see if there
is any possible way to get
extra aid."
The task force report also
helped in other ways. "We
made people realize that the
climate of the community de-pends
on everybody, not just
the teachers," said Brownlee.
"Maintenance has improved
greatly in the last five years,
students receive more finan-cial
aid, the new payment
plan helps, the advising sys-tem
is being revised (espe-cially
for students undecided
in their majors), and we've
added concentrations in nurs-ing,
computer, and TESOL."
"The best retention items
available are student jobs, ex-tra-
curricular activities, and
sports," said Nelson. "Stu-dents
come to a large campus

classes, cost
by Mike Doran
Tricia Brownlee, associate
dean for academic programs
and director of Bethel's sum-mer
programs, said, "We
would like to encourage stu-dents
to take a serious look at
summer school."
Why?
First, because the classes
will probably be smaller, the
majority averaging between
10 and 15 students.
Second, because the tuition
is less at $390 per course.
Third, the first of the two
summer school sessions is
much like interim, allowing
the student to concentrate on
the course.
Fourth, the second session
classes, see page 4
Van -Mark was awarded third
place in the individual com-petition.
This tournament also in-cluded
competition in an event
known as parliamentary de-bate.
Coaches and graduate
students are permitted to en-ter
and debate with students
from the institution in which
they teach.
Butch Maltby, instructor in
speech, and senior Mike Wise-man
teamed up in this div-ision
and completed the pre-liminary
round with an un-blemished
8-0 record, the only
undefeated team in the tour-nament.
In the final round, Maltby
and Wiseman beat the Uni-versity
of Richmond on a 7-2
decision. Wiseman was
awarded the fifth place indi-vidual
position and Maltby
was voted first place.

Dear editor:
My sincere thanks to the
Peace and Justice Committee
for the substantial, thought-ful,
and thought-provoking
Central America Seminar.
How powerful it was to hear
a former member of the Sal-vadoran
military speak- on
conditions in his country; how
powerful it was to. hear a
Nicaraguan woman describe
her society before and after
the revolution; how powerful
it was to observe interviews
of rural. Guatemalan= Indians
who survived recent military
violence; how powerful it was
to hear a North American
pastor describe making the
church a sacred and safe sanc-tuary
for refugees from Cen-tral
America.
My only regret is that more
faculty, students, and staff
did not participate. At times I
think we assume that educa-tion
only occurs in class-rooms—
a false assumption in-deed.
I echo what missionary Rev.
John Sinclair urged and
prayed. We need to actively
work to halt U.S. military aid
to El Salvador,and Guatemala.
We need to actively oppose
the prese,nt administration's
goal of destabilization in Nic-aragua.
We. need:to actively
support open - and Uncondi-,
tional negotiations between:
the waiting factions- in El Sal-vador
and -GUaternala. Our
objective should be peace
through justice, not through
military violence and intimi-dation.
Respectfully yours,

"The Suicide"—a satirical
comedy by Nikolai Erdman—
will be on stage in the Bethel
College Fine Arts Theatre
from April 21 - 23 and 26- 30.
Directed by Jeffrey S. Miller
of the theatre arts faculty,
performances will be at 7:30
p.m. along with a 4 p.m. mati-nee
on April 26. For ticket
reservations call 638-6466 af-ternoons.
The drama centers on the
unemployed Semyon Sem-yonovich
Podsekalnikov, his
life in the Soviet Union, and
how he finds identity and
importance in a cause. The
play is a funny but passionate
plea for the little man lost in a
bureaucratic state who
chooses life over suicide.

Job performance should
indicate Christian walk
"What are you going to do this summer?"
"What do you plan to do after graduation?"
The questions are many.
We all hear these questions. We all have our answers. But
are our goals different than anyone else's? Will we do our
job just as our co-workers? Or will our outlook as
Christians be different?
The ease of 'just doing a job' like everyone else was
brought out in the article "Faith Should Rewrite Your Job
Description" in the Sept. 17, 1982 issue of Christianity
Today.
Wesley Pippert searches for the answer to the question of
what Christian faith and Scripture have to say about the
essence of a person's job. A Christian does this through
relating the teaching of the Bible to his/her particular
discipline or area of work.
So how should our performance on the job be different?
Working full-time we will spend almost half of the weekday
time in the work setting. If Christ is Lord of our lives,
should there not be a Godly element to our work?
In addition to honesty and diligence, we need to look at
how Scripture enlightens the specific area which relates to
our profession. Our views should affect the quality of our
work, the relationship to our employerS and fellow
employees and our attitude' about the job.
Our beliefs may be made manifest in witnessing, honesty,
a serving attitude, or by seeing the value of others as human
beings created by God. Whatever the manner, we need to
superimpose the cross on our own world.
iw Seminar powerful,
participation weak
by Janet Ewing
I found another grey hair last night.
Seriously.
It's not the first..I have found about 10 in my lifetime. The
only problem. is that I've found all of them since I started
Bethel. .
Good grief, I'm only 21 years old.
What do you suppose causes the growth of grey hair at
this early age?
I'm convinced that it's senior seminar and Theology of
Missions. It's the neverending pressure of homework and
papers. It's trying to decide which sweatshirt to wear each
morning. It's trying to decide which six. PE components
would be less hazardous to my self-esteem and lack of
coordination..
My roommate says it's the water. The water can be and
has been blamed for everything from failing an exam to
ingrown toenails. Aside from tasting funny, the water can
be traced, apparently, as the cause of many social ills.
The trick is to find the grey hairs before someone else
does. Once located, the offender must be immediately
removed.
I've heard it said that if you pull out a grey hair, two will
grow back in its place. Hogwash.
I've also heard people are more apt to hire you if you have
a few grey hairs. They give you that mature look.
I don't think I'm ready to look mature yet. I'm not even
sure if I want a job. .
One thing that I am sure about is my desire to graduate in
May. I first contracted senioritis in the fall of 1979. I was a
freshman then, and even at that early age I was dying to
graduate. - -
I didn't think I'd actually have grey hair by the time the
ordeal was over.
I bet some of you, or maybe even most of you, who are
reading this are thinking to yourselves, "This is not funny."
What do you people want from me? I'm old and tired and
turning grey. I have incredible amounts of homework to do.
I have lost my desk under a pile of books, papers, dust and
sweatsocks. I have senioritis.
I think I have sprained my attitude.
As long as I don't go bald, I guess I can handle it.

Mentors mortalize immortal lines
Faculty contributes words of wisdom to edify public
by Mike Doran
Have you ever wondered
what words of wit got the
Bethel faculty where they are?
Neither have I, but here are
a few favorite lines of theirs
anyway.
Lorraine Eitel, for instance,
likes a line from a Harvard
grad of the class of 1821,
Ralph Waldo Emerson: "A
foolish consistency is the hob-goblin
of little minds."
Lynn Fauth likes Romantic
poet William Blake's line:
"Without contraries, there is
no progression."
Gerald Healy likes a line
from former Bethel basketball
star John Priestly: "Rich peo-ple
sure have a lot of money."
A story lurks behind this
seemingly ridiculous quote-newsbriefs,
from page 2
October 23 for their fall meet-ing.
This group of Minnesotans,
one of the larger sections of
the American Association of
Physics Teachers, represented
area high schools and nearly
every liberal arts college

Peterson, chairman of
Bethel's physics department,
was general host of the meet-ing.

several quotes, complaining
that there are so many great
ones, he finaly settled on this
one in particular: "Ill am for
myself alone—who am I?"—
spoken by former Israeli pre-mier
Golda Mier.
Les Arasmith recalled a line
he read somewhere, but could
not remember the author:
"Every generation has the re-sponsibility
to question the
presuppositions of its elders."
Mary Anderson likes a line
from the Waterfall poet Dan-ia'
Drake: "To pick up a new
book, smell the ink, bend the
stiff binding, run a hand over
the crisp paper, and antici-pate
the fresh words; oh, I
love a new book."

need for a strong education
program. "Education is the
most important thing a dem-ocracy
does. I voted for the
amendment."
Despite rising tuition costs
and tightening financial aid,
Minnesota maintains a strong
education system compared
to other states. "Minnesota
has a rich tradition of educa-tion
in both the public and
private sectors. That balance
is good for the state," said
Senator Roger Moe, majority

of economics for the legisla-tors,

Other speakers included

part of a sub-group."
One statistic not included in
the retention figures is the
large number of incoming
transfers and re-admitted stu-dents
Bethel gets. "In the fall
of 1982 we got 122 transfers,"
said Nelson. "And we re-ad-mit
50 additional students
each fall. They find that the
grass isn't always greener on
the other side of the fence so
they come back." Nelson cited
Minnesota's strong commun-ity
college system for the nu-merous
transfers.
Despite declining enroll-ment,
Bethel is still the fifth
largest of 17 private school in
the state. While other schools
vary their admission stan-dards
to meet quota, Bethel's
remains constant. "The pres-ident
specifically said we will
not lower standards," said
Nelson. "Though applications
as a whole are fewer, individ-ual
applicants are stronger

that money for private college

Harry Sieben (DFL—Hast-ings),

of the drawbacks. "There isn't

To get this money we
have to raise taxes. You gotta

[Editor's note: the following
information is from Edward
M. Elmendorf, assistant secre-tary
for postsecondary educa-tion.]
Figure 1 compares the 1983
student aid budget with the
proposed budget for 1984. Be-cause
over $1 billion has been
saved as a result of declining
interest rates, the total fund-ing
proposed for 1984 is level
with 1983. The Department of
Education is proposing to con-solidate
the current six pro-grams
into one loan, one work-study,
and one grant.
The key principle behind
this proposal is that a simpli-fied
and consolidated student
aid program will benefit both
the student and the American
taxpayer financing the stu-dent
aid programs. Simplifi-cation
will also reduce the
administrative burden which
institutions now face in ad-ministering
the six federal aid
programs. Reducing this bur-den
will improve institutions'
ability to deliver student aid.
The Department of Educa-tion
has asked Congress not
to provide new funding for
the State Student Incentive
Grant Program (SSIG), the
Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grant Program
(SEOG), and the National
Direct Student Loan Program
(NCSL). It has asked Congress
to increase funding for Col-lege
Work-Study (CWS) and
Pell Grants. Under the new
budget they expect a higher
loan volume and a higher loan
average for the Guaranteed
Student Loan Program (GSL).
Figure 2 compares the total
amount of aid available to
students through the Depart-ment
of Education under the
1983 and proposed 1984
budgets.
After 11 years, the incen-tive
provided by the SSIG
program has successfully
generated more dollars than
the federal government could
possibly have hoped.
The problem with SEOG is
that it is not targeted to help
those students who really
need federal assistance.
Though no new money is
requested for the NDSL pro-gram,
the revolving funds
mean that over $550 million
will continue to be available
to students in 1984. If former
students, now in default, re-pay
their loans, over $640
million could be added to the
revolving funds.
The three remaining pro-grams:
College Work-Study,
Pell (Grant) and the Guaran-teed
Student Loan Program
(GSL) would ensure the type
of student financial assistance
hoped for, but never realized,
under the six-program arrange-ments.
The Guaranteed Student
Loan (FSL) and Auxiliary
Loan (PLUS) programs make
low-interest loans available
to eligible graduate and under-graduate
students (GSL) as
well as parents (PLUS) by
paying lenders' interest while
the student is in school and
by subsidizing interest while
the borrower is paying off the
loan. The combined program
is the largest of the Federal
financial aid programs.
The budget which was sent
to Congress requests $2.04
billion to cover the cost of the
FSL program in 1984. It also
includes a rescission of $900
million for 1983 funding. The
$2.04 billion represents a de-crease
from the 1982 GSL
appropriation of almost one
billion dollars.
The proposed reduction
does not represent a reduced
commitment to the GSL pro-gram.
Because of reduced in-terest
rates, the actual cost of
the program is steadily de-creasing.
Although the pro-gram
will cost one billion dol-lars
less than in J982, one
billion dollars more will be
available to student bor-rowers.
About 2.64 million students
and parents received GSL and
PLUS loat in 1982. The
average laian was $2,222.
Under President Reagan's
1984 budget the average loan
is expected to be $2.454. The
number of recipients will in-crease
almost 300,000.

cost of tuition,

proposes extending the "needs
test" to all income levels. Fac-tors
such as cost of tuition,
expected family contribution,
and number of children in
school will continue to figure
into the needs formula.
President Reagan's budget
requests an additional $310
million in funds for the Col-lege
Work-Study Program
(CWS). If adopted by the
Congress, President Reagan's
increase will create jobs for
an additional 345,000 stu-dents.

national meet time

Wind and snow made things
tougher for the women's track
team at last weekend's Bethel
Invitational, but that didn't
stop at least one Royal from
an outstanding performance.
Linda Channer became the
team's first national qualifier
this season as she ran far
ahead of the pack to an 18:15.1
in the 5000 meters. "She's fi-nally
realized that it's OK for
her to lead a race; usually she
stays with the pack and
makes her move at the end,"
said coach Cindy Book.
Bethel took another cham-pionship
in the 400 meters,
which Terri Thompson won
in 67.6. Jane Albright was
third in the 800 meters in 2:46
and Rachel Urban took fourth
in the 1500 meters at 6:16.
All the field events and run-ning
events below 400 meters
were cancelled due to the cold
weather and snow.
Book viewed that weather
as a test for the team, a test
she felt was passed well by
the Royals. "For Linda to qual-ify
for nationals in that kind
of weather, running all
alone—well, it's a good sign
of where we're at in our train-ing."

managed to make it through
the first but that was as far as
he would go.
Pete Filson took over early
in the second inning and
promptly drilled the hitter in
the hip with his first pitch. It
was then I realized, despite
all the preseason hype about
how good the Twins would
be, that it might be another
long season for Twins fans.
Fortunately it won't be a long
season for me—I'm a Dodgers
fan.
I had to leave after the fifth
inning because I had to lay .
out the sports page. I wasn't
all that sorry to miss the last
half of an 11-3 Twins defeat.

George Henry, chair of the
athletic department, resigned
from his post as director of
athletics, and will be replaced
by George Palke, professor of
physical education and men's
basketball coach. Henry plans
to teach physical education
courses and continue as ath-letic
department chair.
"The amount of work in-volved
in handling both posi-tions
got to be too much," said
Henry. Henry's announce-ment
came as no surprise to
the administration. "Last July
I talked with George
Brushaber about a possible
. change in positions."
The shift frees Henry to
concentrate on his favorite
subjects. "This gives me an
opportunity to do some teach-ing,
which I enjoy very much,"
said Henry. "And I'll continue
on as golf coach."
As interim director of ath-letics,
Palke doesn't plan any
major changes, but he would
like to garner more support
from alumni. "I'd like to ac-tively
involve the alumni in
our sports program. First we'll
talk to people in the five-state
area and then spread out from
there. We want to get them to
help in any way they can."
Palke also hopes to insti-tute

some valuable experience that

Bobby Clark, Mark John-son
and Andy Larson traveled
to Bethlehem, PA for the first
part of a two-part tryout pro-cess.
If they impressed
coaches enough they would
have been invited back for
another tryout.
Unfortunately, the players
were hampered by conditions
here in Minnesota that keep
them from getting the on-field

"I'd like to unify the sports

now we've been fragmented
rather than concentrated."
The director of athletics po-sition

one year to consider all appli-cants

"We were kind of not pre-pared

but it was a letdown too. The

The players received letters
from the Pennsylvania Ston-ers
team of the American Soc-cer
League a few days after
the camp informing them they
had not been invited back to

Some observers worry that

his basketball coaching,
but he disagrees. "That's why
I'm glad it's a one-year posi-tion,
so I can try it out. I feel
that I can do each without
hurting the other." To lighten
his load, Palke will no longer
be IM director. His course
load will also be decreased to
one per semester.
Palke's main desire is to
help all teams strive for excel-lence.

in some areas," said
Palke. "I'll aid in whatever
way I can."

team.
Much of the practice time
was spent inside a gym play-ing

added that he learned some
things that will help him when
he tries out for two other
teams later this year.
"The first impression helps
a lot," he said. "You need to
come out playing right away.
You also need to practice your
basics more than get into
shape. You need to have more
control in skills."

by Rich Whybrew
"I'd do it again," said head
track coach Steve Whittaker
of his decision not to cancel
last weekend's snowy outdoor
track opener hosted by Bethel.
"You just hate to cancel out-door
meets because the sea-son
is so short."
The meet itself became ab-breviated,
as Whittaker can-celed
every field event except
for the pole vault (which was
held in the gym at Bethel) and
every running event shorter
than 400 meters. Sprinting in
cold weather tends to produce
pulled muscles, and snowy
pits, fields, and runways
make throwing and jumping
events impossible.
With these precautions
taken, Whittaker turned his
Royals loose, where they gath-ered
five place finishes in eight
events.
Dave Jorgensen and Tom
Plocker produced Bethel's
first-place finishes for the
meet in the 400 and 800 meter
dashes, respectively. Jorgen-sen
blazed through the snow
to win in 53.37, while Plocker
led his race from the first 200
meters on.
Second-place finishes were
taken by Ross Ferrin in the
pole vault, and the mile relay
team of Jorgensen, Jay Van
Loon, Dave Bradley, and Pat
Townley.
Greg Wallace completed
Bethel's place finishes with a
sixth in the 1500 meters.

The women's tennis team is
for real. The vastly improved
netters notched wins over St.
Kate's and St. Mary's, upping
their season record to 3-1.
Against St. Kate's the meet
was decided by a doubles vic-tory
by Sharon Johnson and
Lisa Iverson. Other Bethel
winners in the 5-4 cliffhanger
were Kathy Lee, Sarah Run-ion
and Kathy Lundborg in
singles and the doubles team
of Lee-Runion.
The St. Mary's victory was
a less nerve-wracking 6-3 de-cision.
Royal winners includ-ed
Lee, Runion, Johnson, Lund-borg
and the doubles teams of
Lee-Runion, Johnson-Iverson.
The effort was summed up
by Lee: "We played better as a
whole than against St. Kate's.
This was out best match."
Along with the success in
dual meets, the players have
continued the tradition of do-ing
well in individual tour-naments.
In the St. Cloud
Doubles Invitational the team
of Lee-Runion reached the
consolation finals. According
to Runion, "I thought we
played pretty well overall. We
improved throughout the tour-nament.
We were pretty hap-py
with the whole day."
The team will attempt to
continue its tournament rec-ord
today and tomorrow, Ap-ril
15-16, at the Macalester
Invitational.
