Low budget priority excludes a 'Bethel tradition'
by Neal Bernards
The annual All-School Ban-quet
has been canceled due to
a lack of money in the Cam-pus
Coordinator's fund. A stu-dent
production, "Joseph and
His Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat," will be per-formed
on May 6 to replace
the banquet. The Student Sen-ate
and Campus Coordinator
will also jointly sponsor a
reception and a slide show by
Doug Barkey.
The administration did not
allocate money for the ban-quet
because of its low prior-ity
in the budget. "Some stu-dents
complained that their
tuition was going towards the
banquet," said Mary Schwab,
music and program director
for the Campus Coordinator.
"If students are upset they
can come and talk to us, but
it's too late to do anything.
Preparations for the All-
School Banquet must be done
far in advance."
"I'm upset that the banquet
was canceled and the faculty
appreciation dinner wasn't,"
said Steve Goodwin, Bethel
Student Association Presi-dent.
"I'm disappointed that
one of our few traditions has
been discontinued."
The program was scheduled
to be cut last year but former
president Lundquist re-quested
that it be continued.
Lundquist was the originator
of the All-School Banquet,
The option of requiring stu-dents
to pay admission for
the banquet was rejected as
being counter-productive. It
was felt that a low turnout
would not cover the produc-tion's
cost.
"The main idea of the All-
School Banquet is that it's
free," said Goodwin. "If you
start charging it gets to be a
couples thing. The Student
Senate is drafting a proposal
that the banquet be re-in-stated
as part of the Student
Activities Fund. We'd like to
see the tradition continued."
Task force aims for
more cultural diversity
by Paul Davis
e , v
The problem of racial prej-udice
is not just found "out in
the world," but can be seen
here. at Bethel. The Integra-tion
Task Force is a group
that is working to change this.
According to Don Belton, as-sociate
professor of social
work, the Integration Task
Force is a group of faculty,
students, and other commun-ity
members who are commit-ted
to making Bethel racially
and culturally diverse.
"We are trying to build
bridges between the college
and minority communities in
the Twin Cities, in order to
benefit both," said Belton.
The group tries to meet once
a month, alternating between
the community and the col-lege.
"We meet informally, and
nothing is official; we are a
diverse group, but we all have
one goal," said Belton.
According to Belton, there
are two black Baptist General
Conference churches in St.
Paul with no students at
Bethel. "The question," said
Belton, "is why are these
Christians not interested in
Bethel?" The answer, said
Belton, is to change the Bethel
attitude. "There is diversity
within God's kingdom, and
there is also-diversity within
our own community," said
Belton.

The matrimony of Luke
Spencer and Laura Baldwin
last year caused more excite-ment
to television viewers
than Prince Charles' and Lady
Diana's wedding. In recent
years, soap operas (commonly
referred to as soaps) have
grabbed the attention of
thousands of college students.
On any given weekday, the
TV room in the Student Ac-tivities
Center is packed with
Bethel students watching
their favorite stars.
The most popular soap, ac-cording
to freshman Joy Bom-barger,
is "General Hospital."
As many of the main stars on
"GH" leave the show, the
ratings start to slip, Born-barger
said. After Laura left
the show the ratings plum-metted.
When news reached
Bombarger that Dr. Noah
Drake, played by Rick Spring-field,
was leaving the show,
she said, "He's the only reason
I watch the show!" She
watches soaps because "the
actors are good and the. sit-uations
are interesting."
A junior who wished to
remain anonymous said she
began watching soaps at a
very young age with her
mother. She said, "They're just
so unrealistic; they're hu-morous.
They'l'e an escape
from the real world."
One student watches
"General Hospital" almost
every day. Although she does
not skip classes to watch her
soap, she plans her work
schedule around her program.
This freshman, as well as
most viewers, gets very upset
if her show is interrupted by a
presidential news conference.
Sophomore Paul Davis
usually watches soaps two
hours a day. "There are people
(on the soaps) you love to
hate and the soaps start to
become a habit," Davis said.
Sophomore Sue Tuma has
been watching "General Hos-pital"
for three years. Why?
"I'm madly in love with Luke
Spencer's curly blond hair,
and I'm a fan of Rick Spring-field,"
Tuma

The key is to learn to reach
out to others and to take af-firmative
action, said Belton .
"We try to supply support
systems for minority stu-dents,"
he said, "and to find
and correct discrimination in
the college."

editorial
To the editor:
What is a "fag"?
The Beef Board recently
bore the statement: "Shaver is
a Fag."
Homosexuals are real peo-ple—
they are fathers, moth-ers,
soldiers, teachers, preach-ers
and just about any other
category of human occupa-tion.
Words such as "faggot,"
64 queer," "dyke," "fairy," and
so on, are not all that cute.
These words are similar to
gook," "spic," "nigger," "wop,"
and others of that vein. They
are words used to put masks
on people, so that we do not
know them as people, but as
faceless stereotypes.
What's a homophobic?
Homophobia is a fear of
homosexuality, which comes
mostly from ignorance.
At Bethel attitudes toward
gays are evidenced in a wide
variety of ways, from the
seemingly innocent use of
words like "fag" to the morbid
sociopathic aggression of the
"gay-basher" mentality.
Language is the magical
medium on which we depend
for most of our communica-tion.
When we use de-person-alizing
words, we hurt people
with a tool meant to be used
for good, for communication,
not for walling people unlike
ourselves into categories.
The categories in which we
put people don't really exist—
"founders" aren't a bunch of
money-grubbing dinosaurs,
and "gays" aren't a bunch of
warped, smutty little per-verts.
Once you hae talked to
someone, shared some of your
life with another person, you
realize that he or she is an
individual, and is subject to
many of the same struggles
and hopes, the same happi-ness
and sadness which you
have experienced.
It is inevitable that many
people at this school have had
homosexual experience, are
gay by preference, or are
struggling with conflicting
tendencies. These people
f brothers and • sisters. in . the -
Christian community) do not
need our careless stabs,
whether in humor or in hatred.
They need our continued com-passion
and support. Every
person here has his or her
own set of reasons for being
here, but the support for
growth which ideally exists
in this community is not a
trust to be taken lightly.
The people "in question"
are real people. I am not try-ing
to be a sensationalist when
I say that they are here, or in
your church, possibly in the
home. Life is very difficult for
these people, especially in an
atmosphere where they can-not
safely discuss what they
are going through. Little
words and callous attitudes
leave big scars. We owe it to
ourselves and to our com-munity
to guide our words
and our attitudes with care—
to heal, not to hurt.
Please give this matter your
sincere consideration—some-one
close to you may be grate-ful.
Earnestly,

Seminar
addresses
draft issue
In an attempt to make more
information available to those
facing draft registration, the
Macalester Draft Counseling
Service (MDCS) will host a
draft counselors' training ses-sion
on Feb. 26 from 2 to 9
p.m. (with an hour break for
supper) in the basement of
the Macalester College Chap-el,
1600 Grand Ave., St. Paul.
The seminar will be led by
Bill Galvin, a field worker for
the Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors
(CCCO), based in Philadel-phia.
Jeff Spencer, the director of
MDCS, said, "There is a need
for trained draft counselors to
be available as court cases
and new regulations compli-cate
the legalities surround-ing
registration and the draft.
Despite legal questions facing
Selective Service administra-tors
and Justice Department
prosecutors, there is a con-tinued
intimidation effort to
get men to register.”
Spencer cited recent mail-ing
to suspected non-regis-trants,
and the Solomon
amendment linking financial
aid to registration as exam-ples
of "intimidation."
Spencer explained, "Letters
to non-registrants have been
received by hundreds of men
in Minnesota. Their names
have been found by cross-checking
state drivers license
records as well as Social Secu-rity
cross-checks. Some of the
statements made in the letter
appear to have questionable
legal grounding." He also
noted, "despite the legal chal-lenges
facing the Solomon
amendment, financial aid
forms have been printed stat-ing
that men must register to
get aid, and the government
has issued press releases stat-ing
the same thing."
"This is why we have asked
Bill Galvin to lead a training
seminar," Spencer added.
"There is a need for people to
be available to answer ques-tions
when they receive the
letters and when they apply
for financial aid."
Galvin is a graduate of
Princeton Theological Semi-nary
(M. Div.). He did his
undergraduate work at War-ren
Wilson College in North
Carolina and also did course-work
at Wesley Theological
Seminary and the Washing-draft,

Commitments teach
time management
Applications for this are available outside the senate
office. Applications for that are available in the student
development office.
These phrases become more and more common during
this time of the semester. Applications are available for a
number of positions for next year. We think it might be fun
to apply, but . . .
"I just don't see how she can do it! She's in athletics, a
TA, plus . . ." "What about Robbin? I don't see how he could
find time to study with his schedule." "Yeah, I'd like to do
some of the things he does, but . . ."
But what?
"I don't have time."
"I just don't know how to manage my time."
As students some of us are involved in a number of
groups and organizations; while others of us struggle to
complete our studying. What is the difference? Knowing
how to manage our time? No. You learn to manage time by
having to manage time.
The difference is a commitment of the time. It is a decision
to accept the responsibilities of the position and give it the
time required.
We become involved because we want to be. It is not
because we know how to manage our time. Once we accept
the responsibility—whether it be playing in band, leading a
Bible study, volunteering our help or being a member of the
student government—we must honestly try to meet the
expectations. We discover that we can find time for activi-ties,
classes, studying, and ourselves. It is just a matter of
holding to our commitments.

LISTEN TO THIS
There IS an alternative to compulsory
military service. If you have.moral,
ethical, or religious objections to
participation in any war or military
training, you can be a conscientious
objector. One can be a CO regardless
of one's religion: an agnostic or atheist
can make a CO claim based on deeply
held, personal beliefs. The Central Com-mittee
for Conscientious Objectors is
an organization engaged in a
nation-wide effort to inform
people about Conscien-tious
objection and re-lated
peace Issues.
We are also registering conscientious;
objectors with our CO card. This card
- simply states: "Because of my beliefs:-
about war, I am opposed to partici-pation'in
the military." Should the-draft-be
reinstated, and this is becoming--
increasingly likely, a CO card could .
provide important documentation of:
your status as an objector. For more-information,

Part-time instructors add dimension
Four new part-time faculty
members are teaching at Beth-el
this semester, and are part
of the expanding faculty in
certain departments.
The nursing faculty has
been increased to include
Karen Ciske. She has been an
assistant instructor at
Mounds-Midway school of
nursing, worked as a staff
nurse at Wesley Memorial
Hospital in Illinois and served
as a data analyst at the Bio-medical
Computer Service in
Minneapolis.
Ciske's education has in-cluded
attending Northwest-ern
Universtiy in Chicago
where she graduated with a
Bachelor of Science of Nurs-ing
degree. She is presently
enrolled in the post-graduate
program in nursing at the U
of M, where she is also a
member of Sigma Theta Tau.
Music is one of her hobbies
and Ciske is a member of the
American Guild of Organists.
She has also written numer-ous
articles for nursing jour-nals.
Mary Wilson of Minneapo-lis,
a Bethel graduate of 1979,
has been hired to teach two
sections of Creative Perfor-mance
in the theatre arts de-partment
this spring.
Graduating with a BA in
Theatre Arts, Wilson has also

His thesis at Princeton was
on the United Presbyterian
Churches' Response to the
Vietnam War.
For three years he worked
for the United Presbyterian
Churches' Emergency Minis-try
on Conscience and War,
implementing the churches'
policy and ministry concern-ing
the special needs of the
Vietnam Generation. This in-cluded
draft and military
counseling, advocacy for Vet-erans,

Did you ever notice that rooms at Bethel are either hot or
cold? There is no inbetween.
This is definitely a problem with classrooms. One cannot
dress to accommodate her classrooms, because these rooms
are inevitably at different ends of the thermostat. To be warm
in one classroom means to be overheated in the next.
The warmest class I ever had was American Civilization
with Jim Johnson. Warm? No, it was hot. Compounded with
this observation was the fact that the class met at 9:10 a.m. As
far as I'm concerned, any class taught before chapel is giving
license to sleeping. The only way to be awake for a 9 a.m. class
is to have an 8 a.m. class to sleep through first.
Although I am a history major, I will be the first to admit
that American Civ. is not the most entertaining class offered
by Bethel College. When I took it, it didn't even have any
movies made after 1950. I think I napped all the way through
American Civ.
Cold classrooms are invariably used in the afternoon when
you are past your teachable peak and yearn only to be fed and
toileted. Not necessarily in that order. I've always found it
interesting to watch my fingernails turn purple in these cold
rooms. My roommate's nose turns bright red when it's cold. I
should take a class with her sometime. Could be colorful.
The two coldest spots at Bethel have to be Doc's Corner and
the gym. Those draft barricades at Doc's are attractive and
useful until around Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving the
only hope of keeping the area warm is to post armed guards at
the exits. The gym seems to be especially cold during chapel.
Perhaps I have made this assumption because, other than
chapel and basketball games, I avoid the gym at all costs.
I have always felt that one's living quarters should be at
least 70 degrees. It's hard to relax and study (dare I state those
terms in the same sentence?) when one is shivering. In order to
keep warm in a cold apartment, you have to eat. I have nothing
against eating, in fact I would consider eating a hobby of mine,
but to eat nonstop from November through March is an expen-sive
hobby.
I am from Illinois (YIPPEE) and many people from Illinois
seem to be very attached to the art of wearing T-shirts. There
is nothing festive about watching goosebumps raise on your
arms while your fingernails turn purple. When I come home
from school I like to put on a T-shirt. If my room is too cold to
do this, I become irritable.
How can the administrators of Bethel expect us to do our
best work if we are jumping around from freezing to boiling?
How many low GPAs can be explained due to improper heat-ing
of classrooms? Are we paying all this money to die of
pneumonia?
Think about it. (But not too hard; I've been know to get
irrational when freezing to death.)

BALTIMORE, MD (CPS)—
Colleges and universities are
getting much tougher on mis-behaving
students, according
to a study released by the
University of Maryland.
The study shows that ad-ministrators
are suspending
40 per cent more students per
year than they used to, are
tightening disciplinary pro-cedures,
and making it easier
to bring students before dis-ciplinary
boards.
Based on a random survey
of some 150 colleges, the study
says 7.8 students per campus
were suspended during the
1980-81 school year, com-pared
to 5.5 students in 1979-
80.
There was also "a clear
trend to increase the severity
of sanctions" against students,
says Dr. Scott Rickard, vice
chancellor of student affairs
at the University of Mary-land-
Baltimore and director
of the survey.
"Our research," he adds, "in-dicates
that administrators
think there are too many pro-cedural
rules" protecting stu-dents
against disciplinary
sanctions.
The increase in the number
of suspensions may, in addi-tion
to the effects of easier
disciplinary procedures, be
due to more violence on cam-pus.
The survey found the
number of physical assault
cases among students in-creased
by 75 per cent be-tween
1979-80 and 1980-81.

Computer Science will be
offered at Bethel as a major
this fall. The program is based
upon a nationally recom-mended
curriculum and is de-signed
to prepare computer
professionals who also are
broadly educated. The new
major—growing out of a pro-gram
existing since 1978—
will include current theory
and methods of computer
science along with liberal arts
courses.
"Computer science majors
at Bethel will have early ac-cess
to computer hardware,
including hands-on experi-ence
in a laboratory setting,"
stated Dr. James Holmes, de-partment
chairman. Students
will make use of the Academic
Computing Center's present
PDP 11/45 system, word pro-cessing
equipment, digital
electronics lab, microproces-sors,
and terminal support
facilities for about 18 simul-taneous
users.
Another special feature of
the program will be the po-tential
for students to receive
course credit for related com-puter
experience in a busi-ness
or industrial setting
through the college's Cooper-ative
Education sequence.

A new major program of
study—Teaching English to .
Speakers of Other Languages
(TESOL)—will be offered at
Bethel beginning fall 1983.
The program incorporates
Teaching English as a Second
Language (TESL) and Teach-ing
English as a Foreign Lan-guage
(TEFL) with liberal arts
studies.
The TESOL curriculum will
offer varied options for stu-

dents. Some may desire min-imal
preparation in order to
become tutors in English;
others need greater depth in
teaching the English language
to people of limited English
proficiency as a basis for grad-uate
studies or in relation to
specific careers as linguists,
translators, missionaries, an-thropologists,
and other over-seas
specialists.
"TESOL fits well with
Bethel's objectives," said Dr.
William Smalley, professor of
linguistics, "which include
service to society at local,
national, and international
levels through teaching, schol-arship,
social service, and per-sonal
leadership." In a prelim-inary
tally, 82 Bethel students
indicated strong interest in a
TESOL program of studies.
Through its present curric-ulum,
Bethel has become a
leader in linguistics education
among Twin Cities liberal arts
colleges and Christian col-leges
nationally.

Completing a perfect sea-son,
Dogbreath captured the
A League IM broomball cham-pionship
by defeating the Rag-ing
Eelpouts 2-1 in the shoot-out.
The Eelpouts controlled the
first half but were unable to
score as the half ended in a
scoreless tie. Dogbreath re-grouped
during halftime and
put more pressure on the Eel-pout
defense and broke the tie
as Steve Eckert scored from
long range with 13 minutes
left to play.
The Eelpouts raged back
and tied the game up with six
minutes to play when the ball
bounced through a pileup in
front of the Dogbreath net. As
regulation play ended in a tie
the two teams played a 10
minute sudden-death over-time.
No team could score and
the championship had come
down to the shootout with
both teams having five at-tempts
to score.
Dogbreath wasted little
time taking a lead as captain
Jeff Johnson blew a shot past
sprawled Eelpout goalie Don
Dubois to give his team the
only goal of the shootout and
the championship title. "Injury-riddled" Royal skaters put in overtime
by John Lilleberg
The injury-riddled Royal
hockey team continued to put
forth strong efforts, with two
of the week's three games go-ing
into overtime.
The first overtime game
was a 4-3 win over Wisconsin-
Stout. Against Stout, the team
played relatively solid, though
unspectacular, hockey to pick
up the overtime victory. Scor-ing
for Bethel were Eric Bot-tila,
Jim Nelson, Jon Erickson
and Jon Abrahamson, who
scored the game winner.
The next night against St.
John's, the Royals mercilessly
pummeled the Johnnies' goal
but were able to score only 3
goals. The game was tied 2-2
on goals from Scott Thomas
and Jim Laporte when Abra-hamson
put the Royals up

The other game was a 9-4
loss to River Falls. Scott
Mayer, Jeff Eklund, Bruce
LaRoque and Erickson scored
for Bethel. Coach Craig Dahl
gave credit to the River Falls
squad, saying, "they were just
too quick and too fast."
Despite the continued in-jury

to strive for a positive
attitude. Thomas, a sopho-more

the struggle, "It's frustrating
with all the injuries and the

"Not many kids know about
Bethel," said Dahl. "That first
visit is really informational.
You tell them all about
Bethel."
"What I found works the
best when talking to a kid is
to sell the school with the
hockey team being a side-light,"
he added. "Most kids
want a good academic school."
"I don't mess around with
words," said Palke who talked
to 207 basketball players last
year. "I show them what
Bethel has to offer them. You
want what is best for them
and if it's Bethel then it's ex-citing.
The most important
thing is to get people that
want to be here."

freshmen athletes are not
ready to step into the starting
lineup right out of high school.
Palke gave the example of the
MIAC's top four teams hav-ing
no freshmen and only two
sophomores. In other words,
recruiting is an investment
where you'll have to wait to
reap the dividends.
"The odds are against them
(freshmen) playing but we'll
do everything to help them,"
said Palke.
The Bethel coaches are all
in agreement when they talk
about their enjoyment of meet-ing
possible Royal students
and athletes.
"A majority of the job of
meeting kids I really like, ex-cept
if I pressure myself into
thinking I've got to get this
kid," said Lutton. "I'm ex-tremely
thankful for the ones
I do get. I'm going to get to
know them for four years. I'll
never worry about who I
didn't get, but rather be thank-ful
for the ones I do get."
"We don't have any prob-lems
because we're dealing
with a high-caliber person,"
explained Palke of his plea-sure
in recruiting. "When
working with this kind of
people it's nothing but fun. I
think that's the way all Bethel
recruiting should be."
In his letter to prospective
skaters Dahl states the need
to "have quality Christian
young men who are success-oriented
to maintain this stan-dard
in the Royal hockey pro-gram."
With Bethel's Division III
rating and no scholarships
makes a tremendous differ-ence
when talking to an ath-lete
as opposed to the U of M,
which can hand out scholar-ships
at will. As Lutton said,
you can't tell an athlete what
he'll get until he gets it.
"You'd be manipulating
him," he said. "So that's why
in a real sense I have a low
key attitude. I think you have
to have a relationship and the
student has to respond."

third
by Rich Whybrew
Despite having 14 place fin-ishers,
the Bethel men's indoor
track team finished third out
of three teams at St. Olaf. The
Oles took the meet with 94
points, followed by Wiscon-sin—
River Falls with 37, and
Bethel with 34.
First-place finishes were
recorded by Dave Bradley
(300m), Dave Jorgensen
(600m) and Tom Plocker
(1000m). Bradley was second
in the 400m, and the one and
two-mile relay teams both
placed second.
Coach Steve Whittaker said
his team does not lack in any

"Control" was the key word
for the women's basketball
team last week—when they
lacked it they lost, and when
they had it they won—in two
games against Macalester and
St. Mary's.
"We didn't come out and
play our game," said head
coach Vonda Bjorklund of the
first game last week, a 74- 57
loss to Macalester Feb. 10.
"But I still felt we played well
even though they were in con-trol."
The Royals were only down
by three points at the end of
the first half, 31-28, due to a
60 per cent field goal percen-tage.
"Then we came out in
the second half and shot so

also had 12 rebounds to go
along with his high-scoring
honors.
Of the 14 Bethel players
that saw action, 12 scored:
Bill Lawson, Kevin Hugoson,
Rich Jaeger and Dion Wolter
each scored 8 points.
Palke pointed to the Royals
defense as being a constant
during an inconsistent week
as it held Mac and St. Mary's
to 38 and 37 per cent shooting,
respectively.
A possible explanation for
Bethel's spotty performance
during the week may have to
do with the length of season,
said Palke.
"The mistakes we made are
correctable and we did correct
them," he said. "The guys are
really working hard and as
the season gets to be real long,
it's pretty tough to be high all
the time. We've got to work
through the letdowns and
we've had different guys come
in to pick things up."

best game fundamentally,"
said Bjorklund, "but it was
one of our smartest. We used
the bench well and made them
adjust to us."
Bjorklund said the Royals
frustrated St. Mary's offen-sively,
and that Sue Duehn
was particularly instrumen-tal
in shutting the Redwomen
down. She had six steals, six
points and six assists for a
strong all-around effort.
The St. Mary's win was
important to the Royals' hopes
for a berth in the state playoffs
later this month. However,
the Royals must get through a
"heavy line-up" of opponents
this week, says Bjorklund, as
they have games against St.
Scholastica and Gustavus.

"We thought we would tire
out their guards—and we did,"
explained Palke. "We've got 9
or 10 guys we can play with-out
any letdown on the court."
Fourteen Royals saw action
during Bethel's 78-67 win over
St. Mary's on Feb. 12. But it
took another 10-minute out-burst
during the second half
to seal away Bethel's 15th
win of the year.
"We went away from the
game plan," said Palke of
Bethel's troubles. "I reminded
them at halftime that we can't
play if we go away from our
strengths."
That strength was the in-side
game against the short
Redman team. And Bethel's
strongest inside player is
Jason Velgersdyk.

Recruiting at Bethel—distinctively different
When it comes to getting the athlete, the school sells itself, say Royal coaches
by John Clark
The scene is a familiar one.
Every year high school ath-letes
are called, coerced and
begged by college coaches to
attend their school:
It is not a familiar scene at
Bethel College, however, as
Royal coaches don't adhere to
the tactics more commonly
associated with recruiting.
Bethel coaches prefer to let
the school and its students
sell themselves rather than
try to "hardsell" an athlete.
"Bethel sells itself," said
basketball coach George
Palke. "The key thing we have
going for us is our distinc-tiveness.
We have quality ed-ucation,
strong athletics and
a strong spiritual cdrhrhit-ment.
And it's the spiritual
commitment that makes us
distinctive."
Bethel is also distinctive in
other ways. Bethel doesn't
give out athletic scholarships,
it has high academic stan-dards
and it is a private

school, i.e., it's expensive.
"I don't think recruitment is
a good word," said football
coach Dud Lutton. "I think it's
more like encouraging. It's not
like recruitment at bigger
schools."
Pulling out a sheet of paper
Lutton showed visually how
his job as a recruiter/encou-rager
is different. Ripping the
page in half eliminated half
his pool of athletes because
their grades weren't good
enough. Tearing three guar ;
ters off the remaining piece

Bethel left Lutton with
even a smaller group. Finally
he tore 95 percent off the last
piece leaving him with a piece
of paper" the size of his thumb
because the athlete wasn't a
Christian.
"Your pool. of athletes is
limited," he said. "I think the
kid at Bethel has to want to
come."
Hockey coach Craig Dahl
spends five nights a week
during the season talking to
prospective athletes or watch-ing
them play. Last year he
sent out letters to 250 ath-letes,
got 100 responses, had
50 apply to Bethel before fi-recruiting,
