Computer science concentration offered
by JoAnn Watkins
The Campus Coordinator
for 1983-84 will be Mary
Schwab. Working with
Schwab in planning next
year's activities will be a five-member
committee: Sharon
Hunt, music and programs;
Cheryl Hanson and John Grif-fith,
special events; Kirk Stens-rud,
business and finance; and
Kris Davis, publicity.
Schwab, a junior business
administration major, served
on the Campus Coordinator
(CC) committee this year as
music and program chair.
"We want to spread the ac-tivities
out more and we also
want to create enthusiasm in
the residences," said Schwab.
She said they plan to build
their activities around other
activities, "making thein more
into events." She plans to have
two films each month and
three concerts during the se-mester.
"Publicity is the key next
year," she said, Schwab said.

Starting this fall, Bethel is
offering students a new corn-puter
science concentration.
"Student demand is the major
factor for implementing the
program," said Jim Holmes,
professor of math and corn-puter
science. Construction of
an informal program began
two years ago in response to
student requests, but was not
started until- the fall of 1983
due to the unavailability of
staff.
The concentration follows
the Association of Computer
Machinery's recommended
curriculum. The program re-quires
14 courses, four of
which are math.
Two parts comprise the
concentration. One is the ac-tual
computer science pro-gram,
the other an emphasis
in Management Information
Systems (MIS).
Three parallel objectives
guide the computer science
program. The first is to pre-pare
the student to enter into
the work force with a bache-lor's
degree in scientific corn-petition
between the resi-dences.
Schwab said she-would like
to see the committee as a
group presented more. Sub-puting.
The second is to pre-pare
students to enter a grad-uate
program and third, to
train students to use the com-puter
as a decision tool, often
termed "modeling."
The emphasis in MIS,
planned for 1984, includes
computer courses applied to
business and will carry cross-credit
towards the business
concentration.
"You don't have to be a
math major to take the con-centration,
but should have
good quantitative skills,"
Holmes said. "The computer
science concentration reflects

Bethel, it is a rigorous but

Although an increased en-rollment
in the computer
classes will occur, additional
terminals are not being pur-chased.
According to Holmes,
a computer revolution is about
to occur which will make
smaller computers available
at one-third the cost and 100
to 150 times more capable
than the ones Bethel has now.
Until them, two major units
will be added to increase the
present speed of the termi-nals
and accommodate for the
extra usage.

during Community
Awareness Week, April 11-16.
The goals of the week are to
increase awareness of the
local community; to interact
with the local community; and
to inspire Christian responsi-bility
to the local community.
"I'm hoping students will take
this opportunity to sensitize
themselves to community
needs," said Eileen Wennin-ger,
social ministries coordi-nator.
"I want them to see that
these needs are not specific to
this community but any corn-munity
where they may live."
Several Bethel organiza-tions
have been coordinating
activities to meet these goals.

A letter drive that may de-termine
the amount of finan-cial
aid college students will
receive for the next twenty
years will be held by the Stu-dent
Senate April 5 -8.
Students are encouraged to
write a brief letter to a state
legislator about concerns for
financial aid. If the legislators
receive more than twenty-five
letters they will attempt to
make a change in aid. Seven-teen
private colleges in Min-nesota
will participate in the
drive.
Student Senate president
Steve Goodwin encourages all
students, especially those who
are permanent residents of
Minnesota, to write. Even
those students who do not
receive financial aid are en-couraged
to participate.
Stamps and envelopes will
be provided by the Student
Senate.

Sigma Zeta student presi-dent
Jessie Nemnich and na-tional
president Scott Cham-bers,
assistant professor of
chemistry, plan to attend the
national convention at As-bury
College in Wilmot, Ken-tucky.
The Sigma Zeta club is an
organization for science and
math majors who have at least
a 3.0 GPA and wish to social-ize
and share their Christian
commitment with others.
The first meeting at Bethel
was held March 10. The club
has been active nationwide
for over 60 years.
Bethel's College Democrats
elected Richard Dischinger to
succeed D. Wallace Pikal as
president of the student or-ganization.
Appointed as vice-president
was Daniel Nelson.
The College Democrats plan
to co-sponsor a political forum
with Macalester this spring
and start a registration drive
to induct new members.
Junior Debi Foss was one of
21 students from colleges and
universities all over the
United States who partici-pated

Heidelberg, West Germany.

The program is sponsored
by Heidelberg College (Tiffin,
Ohio) in affiliation with The
University of Heidelberg,
West Germany. Founded in
1958, it is the second oldest
program of its kind in Ger-many.
The program provides an
opportunity for qualified Am-erican
students to take classes
in German and other subject
areas. Programs offered and
duration of study are designed
to fit the divergent needs of
each student.
The University of Heidel-berg
(Germany) is the oldest
university in Germany, and
has an enrollMent of about
22,000. About 10 percent of
its enrollment is made up of
international students. Today
the university is recognized
as one of Germany's leading
centers of higher education.

weekly schedule card they
will announce they need a

this will allow some students
to go who might not have
been able to afford it.
Schwab said work has al-ready
begun; some performers
have been contacted and they
are awaiting confirmation.

Should we salute flag
of a narrow government?
Please look beyond the U.S. flag to the oppressed south,
so talked of recently with the seminars on Central America.
It is there the Salvadorian government respects our flag, but
at the same time murders and oppresses. And it is also there
a Communist Nicaragua government defies our flag, but at
the same time realizes political and economic reform, most
unlike their non-Communist predecessors. Meanwhile, our
country sends military aid by the millions to the oppressors
and attacks the reformers.
Our two concerns in the region seem to be to further our
wealth by keeping the status quo, and ending Communism
with guns. Does our government have any further concerns?
Please look back at our flag, see the rocket's red glare, the
bombs bursting in air, and remember to remove your hat in
respect.

Cooperative Ed. provides areas of study
by Neal Bernards
Bethel's cooperative educa-tion
program affords students
an opportunity to combine
academics with an off-campus
job in an area of their interest.
Henry Allen, instructor in
general studies, directs this
program in its second year of
a three-year pilot proposal.
"Coopefative education was
originally written with a two-year
pilot proposal, but it was
extended a year," said Allen.
"It will be reviewed in the
spring of 1984. Faculty must
give it full ratification for it to
become a permanent course."
Six students participated
in the program last year and
four are currently enrolled
this semester. "Only five to
ten students per semester are
accepted. These need to be
high-quality people to make
the program a success," said
Allen. "Applying students
should be at least juniors with
a GPA of 2.5 or above. We
must screen students careful-ly
until cooperative education
becomes part of the curric-ulum."
Accepted students meet
with their academic advisors
and employers to set down
specific objectives and related
course work. Equal time must
be , given to cooperative edu-cation
as to a normal college
course. Most students take
three other classes while in
the program.
"It takes a great deal of
effort on the student's part to
come up with a schedule that
will be approved," said Allen.
by Neal Bernards
Students hear a lot about
gospel teams at the beginning
of the year, but what happens
as the year wears on? They
provide a service ministry by
performing concerts in local
and outstate churches.
Though all Gospel Team
members volunteer their time,
there is never a shortage of
singers at auditions. This year
75 students tried out for 45
,positions. Why do so many
want to work for nothing?
"Most members like to per-form
and this gives them a
sense of ministry," said John
Bird, musical director for the
group Living Sacrifice. "It's a
good chance to witness to
others in a group situation
and have fun doing it," added
bassist Mark Kirgiss.
"The advisor, employer, and
student must work well to-gether."
"Cooperative education dif-fers
from internships because
it is not a culminating expe-rience.
It can be in your major,
minor, or just an area of inter-est,"
said Allen. "In an intern-ship
the student is plugged
into a position, while in coop-erative
education that person
creates an area of study."
Students are paid accord-ing
to the employer's wishes.
Normally, at least the stu-dent's
expenses are met.
Bethel students have
worked with Pillsbury, Gen-
All of the seven Gospel
Teams have piano accompan-iment,
and two have back-ground
musicians to supple-ment
the vocals. One of these
groups, Living Sacrifice, has
had an active year perform-ing
nine concerts. Its members
are Bird, Kirgiss, Lisa Poppen,
Brenda Humphrey, Barb Fern-lund,
Brian Houts, Dan Gol-den,
Dan Eckert, Amy Potter,
and John Turner.
Living Sacrifice not only
sings, but interacts with the
audience before and after the
concert. "We usually mingle a
bit," said Kirgiss, "It's a fun
way to meet people." During
this socializing, however,
Bethel is rarely mentioned.

eral Mills, and area high
schools. During the 1982 inte-rim
John Zdrazil and Karen
Hansen taught a gifted group
of writers in the Mounds View
school district.
"It was one of the better
classes I took last year," said
Zdrazil. "It's not all sitting
around taking notes like other
classes. It's a lab education."
Allen hopes for an improve-ment
in the economy so em-ployers
will be more willing
to take on interns. "It could be
good for next fall," said Allen.
"I plan to spend all of next
August contacting possible
employers for the school
year."

"I wanna break now, I wanna break now," said the wave as
it rolled with gentle greatness toward shore.
"But shore is nine and a half miles away," stated a second
wave.
"I don't care, I wanna break now!" The wave tried to build
and break, but it just couldn't muster up enough umph.
"Looks like you'll just have to roll and wait like the rest of
us," gurgled another.
"I wanna melt, I wanna melt now," said the icicle as it hung
lifelessly from the garage roof.
"But it's the middle of January and it's thirty-five below with
wind chill," stated a second icicle.
"I don't care, I wanna melt now!" The icicle tried to melt, but
it just couldn't emit enough heat.
"Sorry, but it looks as if you'll just have to hang and wait like
the rest of us," retorted the second icicle.
"I wanna migrate, I wanna migrate now," said the duck as it
swam between the blooming lily pads.
"But it's the first week in July and the sun is still hot," stated
a second duck.
"I don't care, I wanna migrate now!" The duck tried to fly
away, but because of an inner voice it couldn't.
"You'll just have to swim around and wait like the rest of us
until it's time," another quacked.
"I wanna go, I wanna go now," said the little boy as he pulled
at his mother's dress.
"But we're almost finished shopping and there isn't time,"
stated the little boy's mother.
"I don't care, I wanna go now!" The boy tried to go, but
because of his mother's discerning stare he couldn't.
"You'll just have to wait." The boy's mother pushed the cart
toward the register.
"I wanna answer, I wanna answer now. Can't you hear me?
Don't you listen? It's not fair, I don't understand," cried a voice
from the world.
"Wait. Be patient. My timing is perfect," stated a voice from

Paul Davis was selected as
editor of the Clarion for 1983-
84. The candidate recommen-dation
from the communica-tions
board was approved.at
the senate meeting on March
14.
Davis, a sophomore, is cur-rently
associate editor of the
paper. He is majoring in Eng-lish
Literature Secondary Ed-ucation.
"The purpose of the Clarion
is to provide a way of com-municating
within the student
body and between the stu-dent
body and the adminis-tration,"
said Davis. "The key
is to find what will affect
most people and stick with
that."
"I don't think it's the respon-sibility
of the Clarion to cover,
things such as national news,"
he said when asked if con-cerns
voiced this year would
change next year's coverage
scope. He said he plans to
cover what will affect Bethel
or students at Bethel.
"If students have something
to write about just come in
and let me know," said Davis.
For students seriously inter-ested
in writing he recom-mended

his goals for next year's

PR thing," said Amy Koelz,
gospel team coordinator. "We
look at it as a service. It's that
attitude that is important to
the success of the group."
The team, which took its
name from Romans 12:1,
prays and has devotions dur-ing
each weekly practice to
keep the focus on Jesus Christ
and not on themselves. "It's
neat to be a part of a group
that comes together spiritu-ally,"
said Bird. "A key for
me," said Kirgiss, "is a point
that Lisa Poppen brought up.
In order for us to minister to
others we must first minister
to ourselves. That makes me
look at my own life to see how
I can improve."
"We work well together, but
that doesn't mean we haven't
had problems," said Bird.
"Earlier this year we had a
struggle with leadership, but
it's times like those that make
us close. We've found a bal-ance
that works well for us."
"We sat down and talked
about our problems," said
Kirgiss, "and we came away
with a better attitude. Every-one
made a new commitment
to the group and our concerts
have improved since then.
There hasn't been a concert
that I didn't enjoy after we
were done."
One of the reasons cited for
this enjoyment is sound man
John Turner. "Sometimes it's
hard to remember to smile
when you're in , front of an
audience," said Bird, "but John
keeps us motivated. He's real-ly
a firecracker."
Both Bird and Kirgiss hope
Living Sacrifice will continue
next year, but they are unsure.
"Groups can usually remain
intact," said Koelz, "but it's up
to that year's coordinator."

Turn out lights, energy party is over
by Mike Doran
Dave Anderson wrote a let-ter
describing his electricity-saving
proposal for Bethel to
Don Evans, vice president for
business affairs, in hopes that
his efforts would prove him
worthy of a reward. He did
not get any money, but he
"also did it to make a point."
And he did.
Anderson, a student, does
not work for the school. He
simply keeps an eye out for
unneeded lights turned on
throughout the campus, and
turns them off.
"I often find the lights on in
the Solarium (north end of the
coffee shop and Student Cen-ter),
both the fluorescent and
the rail lights, during the mid-dle
of a bright day. We don't
need them on then, so I turn
them off." he said. He calcu-lated
he saved, using a con-servative
estimate, a total of
$141.40.
"Anderson has been on a
campaign to save electricity
for three years now," said Jim
Woods, director of the physi-cal
plant department. Woods
himself is a conserver, both
through his activites on his
job and through a publicity
Campaign aimed at the Bethel
community. Last November
he sent out flyers entitled
HELP, or Have Electric Lights

"I don't think people realize
how much they can save by
turning lights out." said
Woods. We have 7,000 fluor-escent

load. We pay about 4.5 cents
per kilowatt hour. The tubes
stay on about 16 hours a day.
It comes to over $225 to run
those lights per day. Forty per
cent of our electricity bill goes
to pay for lights," he said. The
total electricity bill is about a
quarter of a million dollars
per year for Bethel.
"We need cooperation in
helping to turn out the lights;
students can also help by re-porting
lights which seem
habitually left on so we can
do something about them,"
Woods said. Some of the lights
are run by timers, which
sometimes malfunction and
they can be on in the middle
of the day.
Anderson has also been
working to get Bethelites to
conserve, which has proved
to be a difficult task. "I don't
know how to tell- people tact-fully
to turn lights off. People
don't like to be told what to
do," he said. But he delivers
his message anyway: "We
should use the energy we have
wisely. If you don't need to
use a light, turn it off, or never
turn it on in the first place.
The general rule of thumb is
that if they are on less than
five minutes, it would be bet-ter
to leave them on. So if
you're leaving your room for a
minute, keep the light on. But
if you plan to leave longer
than five minutes, turn it off;
you'll save electricity," he
said.
Anderson suggested anoth-er
idea towards conserving
electricity; he suggested put-ting
signs on the expensive
lights to show how much it
costs to run the switch on.
Woods talked aboutthe new
energy-saving computer for
the heating and air-condition-ing
system for the school and
living areas. It cost $35,000 to
install, and promises to pay
for itself in two years.
Even the computer, how-ever,
cannot stop the energy
wasted in living units when
windows are left open and
heaters left on—a common
practice during spring.
An unoccupied room with its lights on, an example of energy waste,
invites the conservation conscious Bethelite to action.

by Mike Doran
"In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with
God and the Word was God."
(In. 1:1). And with God's gift
of words great writers have
composed the great lines often
quoted and recalled.
There are lines like John
Donne's: "No man is an Illand,
intire of it selfe; every man is
a peece of the Continent, a
part of the maine; if Clod bee
washed away by the sea,
Europe is the lesse, as well as
if Promontorie were, as well
as if Manner of thy friends or
thine own were; any man's
death diminishes me, because
I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee."
Several Bethelites recalled
further favored lines.
Mitch Anderson likes,
among other lines, this one
from Shakespeare's As You
Like It: "All the world's stage/
And all the men and women
merely players."
Mark Levitt likes the last
line of Charles Dickens' Tale
of Two Cities, spoken by the
character Sydney Carton be-fore
dying at the guillotine: "It
is a far, far better rest that I go
to, than I have ever known."
Jim Thompson likes Des-carte's
axiom: "I think, there-fore
I am."
As long as the lines are phil-osophical,
Steve Van Sickle
likes Locke's definition of sub-stance:
"Something, we know
not what."
Matt Johnson likes the line
from Jonathon Cook's poem
Ode to the Hills: "With day
the fog rose to clouds o'er his
hill;/on top the old seer sat
crossed legg'd and still;/
Thought he, I know nothing,
nothing at all,/But fog which
is, clouds which form and
fall."
Jane Saari likes different
lines on different days. On
March 18, 1983, she liked Heb.
12:22: "Therefore strengthen
the feeble arms and weak
knees. Make level paths for
the feet, so that the lame may
not be disabled, but rather
healed."
Carol Carlson also likes a
line from the Bible, which
happens to be the shortest:
"Jesus wept."
Jerry Adamson likes a line
from Thoreau's Walden: "It is
not necessary that man earn
his living by the sweat of his
brow, unless he sweats easier
than I do."
Peter Thomas likes the lines
from Antome Exupery's The
Little Prince: "I have lived 4
great deal among grown ups.
I have seen them intimately,
close at hand. That hasn't
much improved my opinion
of them."
Roseanne Jensen likes the
line from Emerson: "It is not
what lies before us or behind
us that matters, but what lies
within us."

For the past five weeks,
students at Bethel have had a
new shuttle system at their
disposal. This bus service
takes students from the cam-pus
to Rosedale and Har Mar
shopping centers. The service
has been running seven days
a week since Feb. 7. There are
four runs each weekday and
three runs on Sunday.
According to Paul Drake,
director of auxiliary services,
the use of the service has
declined since it began early
in February. "I think the rea-son
students are not using the
system is because they don't
want to be bound by a sche-dule,"
said Drake.
The average number of peo-ple
using the system has been
about 134 people per week.
At least 175 people per week
average are needed for the
system to break even, said
Drake.
The system is presently
subsidized by the busing bud-get.
But 'according to Drake,
the budget cannot continue to
support the system. "It must
become self-supportive," said
Drake.
"We'll have to wait until the
semester is over before we
decide whether to keep the
system," said Drake. "The de-cison
will probably be made
this summer. If the system
picks up, we'll keep it."

"There's quite a bit more

The softball team will be
going to Tampa Bay, Florida
during the spring break which
will give Currie a better look
at the players.

Paul Currie
attended Leeds College in En-gland
and now teaches Ger-man
and French at Minne-haha
Academy.
Coming to the United States
on the encouragement of Am-erican
friends, Hind has been
in Minnesota for a year and a
half now. And although he
enjoys coaching the game
Hind has a low regard for the
American style of play.
"From what I've seen I don't
think very highly of Ameri-can
soccer," said Hind in his
best Scottish brogue. "There
are some prevalent attitudes
that are going to hinder soccer
here."
America's lack of patience
and inability to listen and
learn from another country
were the two problems that
Hind listed as the United
States' downfall as a soccer
country.
As for his current job at
Bethel he feels he has some
work to do with the Royal
team although the soccer team
has enjoyed success the past
two years.
Frank Hind
"I think we have had good
individual players," he ex-plained.
"but they played
when they felt like it. I feel
that as Christians that's not
what it is all about. We should
be striving for excellence. Per-haps
success brought a little
bit of arrogance."
When telling of his home-town
of Dunfermline, Hind
also mentioned it as being the
birthplace of Andrew Carne-gie,
who developed a steel
dynasty from nothing.
"The only thing we have in
common is our hometown,"
Hind quickly added.
Yet when the possibility of
starting his own dynasty in a
soccer sense was mentioned,
Hind laughed saying, "may-be."

Tennis teams begin season events
Men
by John Lilleberg
Simply stated, the men's
tennis team is involved in a
rebuilding year. With the top
nine players gone from last
year's team, new head coach
Bill Henderson is left with a
team made up almost entirely
of sophomores and freshmen.
The team's inexperience
showed in the first match, an
8-1 loss to Macalester. How-ever,
the players also showed
a good deal of potential by
giving Macalester a number
of tough matches. Bethel's on-ly
win came from number-four
singles player Tom Mills.
Mark Stewart, the only let-terman
left from last year's
team, summed up the match:
"Everybody did all right for
the first match. The Tartan
courts (a very fast surface)
goofed us up since we're used
to practicing on clay. I think
we can beat them outside on
our courts."
smallness, from page 8
of the St. Paul Civic Center,
and again at the nationals in
Portland."
In his last season as a Bethel
wrestler McEachern worked
harder than ever, despite the
laurels of the previous sea-son.
"This year Ben would
still stay after practice, ask-ing
questions and working on
stuff—even though he was
one of the outstanding wrest-lers
on the team, he still dis-played
willingness to learn,"
said Holmgren.
McEachern repeated his
second-place finish at the con-ference
meet and he qualified
again for nationals this year,
losing once more in the first
match. But this year was dif-ferent
because the senior's
_leadership abilities shone
through.
"When Russ Reynolds, the
other captain, was injured,
the majority of the leadership
responsibility for the team
fell on Ben's shoulders," said
Klostreich, "and I thought he
The lineup features Ken
Dahlquist, Steve Hestness,
Randy Westlund, Mills, Stew-art
and Kurt Berg in singles.
In doubles, the combinations
are Dahlquist-Hestness,
Westlund-Stewart and Mills-
Berg.
Henderson isn't overly con-cerned
about his team's lack
of experience, "They're young;
they just need work on strat-egy,"
Henderson said, then
added in reference to the Mac-alester
match, "It was a lot
closer than the score in-dicated."
The next match, scheduled
for Wednesday, April 6 is at
home against St. Thomas.
Women
by John Lilleberg
After a disappointing sea-son
last year, the women's
tennis team is attempting to
turn things around. So far
this redemption process is go-ing
quite well, as evidenced
by a win over Hamline and a
respectable showing against
St. Thomas.
Against the Pipers, the
Royals' experience at the top
of the lineup proved a major
factor with wins coming from
the top four singles players:
Kathy Lee, Sarah Runion, Lisa
Iverson and Sharon Johnson.
In doubles, the number-one
and -two teams (Lee—Runion
and Iverson—Johnson) won,
giving the Royals the 6-3 vic-tory.
According to number-one
singles player Lee, "We
were real happy with the out-come.
It was close—Sarah and
handled it real well."
"You can't give people self-discipline;
what I've tried to
do is give a model of self-discipline
. . .I hope I've been
successful," said McEachern.
When asked about his plans
for after graduation, Mc-
Eachern said, "Well, right
away I'm goin' fishin' in Can-ada
for two weeks . . ."
Does he have any plans
beyond that? "Oh, I'll be
around next year to help the
team out," he says. "Maybe
since I couldn't be an All-
American, I can help someone
else become one."
If he does, it will be by tak-ing
it "one day at a time."
the second doubles team both
went three sets. It was good
for the team's confidence."
Earlier in the week the team
had lost 7-2 to a strong St.
Thomas squad. Singles wins
from Lee and Runion account-ed
for Bethel's two points.
Along with Lee, Runion,
Iverson and Johnson, the rest
of the singles lineup includes
Kathy Lundborg and Connie
Masters. In doubles, Lee-
Runion and Iverson—John-son
appear to be set combina-tions.
The third doubles spot
is not decided yet as Masters,
Sherri Isvik and Jennifer Two-good
have been rotating in an
attempt to find the right
combination.
This year the team has a
new coach: Vonda Bjorklund.
Bjorklund is cautiously opti-mistic
about the rest of the
season, "Overall, we hope to
be stronger this year' than last
year. There are still a few
bugs to be worked out. We
need to get outside and prac-tice
every day."
The next match will be

Royal wrestler becomes scholar of the sport
by RUh
re
At the beginning of this
year's wrestling season Ben
McEachern was giving a
freshman wrestler some tips
on takedown techniques. He
showed the college newcomer
how to block an opponent's
moves and then set up an
"arm drag."
McEachern could not fol-low
through with the move
completely because all of the
people in the LRC, where this
took place, might have been
distracted.
"Ben is a scholar of the
sport," said head coach Dave
Klostreich, intending no puns.
Such scholarliness has led
McEachern from humble be-ginnings
to two-time confer-ence

The indoor season ended
for the women's track team at
a six-team meet in Winona
March 19, with a couple of
noteworthy individual per-formances.
Royals took the top two
spots in the 60 yard hurdles,
as Jenny Burgess was first in
:09.0 and Laurie Staurseth
was second in :09.5.
Penny Marshall was third
in the shot put, with a throw
of 36'1" and Chris Sorensen
was fourth in the 60 yard
dash at :08.1.
Kim Laird completed
Bethel's individual place fin-ishes
with a fifth in the 200
meters.
Head coach Cindy Book said
the meet was low-key, and a
number of Bethel's team did
not go to the meet due to
homework.
The team will have three
weeks to catch up on studies,
as it does not compete until
after spring break at the
Bethel Coed Invitational Ap-ril

That meet will be the open-ing
of the outdoor season for
the Royals, and Book says her
team is looking forward to it.

strong this year outdoors,"
she said.

Klostreich.

Coaches have to get used to
having different athletes come
and go due to graduation or
some other reason but occa-sionally
the athletes have to
get used to having new
coaches come in.
Such is the case this year as
three new Royal coaches have
been hired to lead the Royal
sports teams. Currently
coaching are Bill Henderson,
the men's tennis coach, and
Paul Currie, the women's soft-ball
coach. Frank Hind has
been hired as the new men's
soccer coach but won't begin
coaching until this fall.
None of the three have been
hired as faculty members so

discouraged and quit," he
joked. "I just took it one day at

best way for me."

or out-of season for wrestling,

The men's track team fin-ished
the indoor season with
a dual meet at MacaleSter on
March 19, recording some
strong place finishes.
Steinar Engebretsen was
Bethel's top performer at the
meet, taking first place in the
triple, long, and high jumps.
Right behind him in the first
two events was Mark Mur-phy.
The Royals swept the 400
meter dash, as Tom Plocker,
Brig Strole, and Greg Wallace
were first through third,
respectively. Plocker and Wal-lace
were first and second in

Tennis Club and is a graduate
of Eastern Mennonite College
in Virginia. Henderson heard
of the tennis job while con-sidering
attending the semi-nary
here at Bethel.
"Bethel stands for a lot of
good things," said Henderson
when explaining his reasons
for taking the Royal job. "I
wanted to build a program
and with the fieldhouse we
can offer a little bit more to
prospective players."
Although Henderson wasn't
hired in a full-time capacity
there is the possibility he
might instruct an interim class
next year. And as for the just
wrestler.
"Ben has always been the
type of guy who wanted to
improve himself," said assis-tant
coach Lonnie Holmgren.
"He worked hard and con-stantly
does a lot of self-eval-uation
to find out what he has
to work on."
After more off-season work,
McEachern- was well prepared
for his junior year. He took
the top spot at the North
Country Open at 167 lbs.,
placed second in the confer-ence,
and qualified for NAIA
nationals.
One of his losses came in
the first round of the national
tournament, which eliminated
McEachern from advancing
beyond that first match. "Two
times in my life I've had a feel-ing
of 'smallness,' " said
McEachern. "Once at the high

Bethel's mile relay team ended
the meet by taking first.
"It was a fun meet," said
head coach Steve Whittaker.
"Everybody ran what they
wanted to, and we had a great
time."

is pleased with the way
his team played.
"We have a young team," he
said. "but that's nice. That's
how you start a program."
Currie got a late start on the
season as he didn't get the
softball job until January. But
despite that problem he has
been encouraged by the turn-out
for his team.
"We've had an excellent
turnout," he said. "I was told
I'd be lucky to get 13 girls out
