Iblings donates kidney to father
Week's activities stress

"I guess I didn't really think
that I would match anyway,
because the chances were
pretty slim," Darryl Iblings
said. "But I went in and was
tested and a couple days later
I got a call saying that I was
compatible." During January,
Iblings donated one of his
kidneys to his father at the
University of Minnesota Hos-pital.
Iblings first started serious-ly
thinking about donating
his kidney when his parents
were here in October and he

The theme of Spiritual Em-phasis
Week, Feb. 7 to 11, is
"Commitment to the King."
On Monday Chris Lyons, a
minister from Wheaton, Ill.,
will speak in chapel on "The
Kingship of Christ." Lyons
will speak in chapel again on
Tuesday. During the after-noon
on both Monday and
Tuesday Lyons will speak at
open ' forums in the AC
Lounge. The forums will also
include a time for interaction
between the speaker and stu-dents.
On Monday night, Lyons
will be speaking in residences.
On Tuesday night there will
be a confessional service and
Wednesday will be a day of
prayer. In preparation for the
day of prayer, a fast will begin
to take place. Iblings says
that he didn't really think that
it would be too bad, but when
he got back after Christmas,
it was constantly on his mind.
"I wasn't really scared," he
said, "It was just anticipation
of what was going to take
place."
The operation took place on
schedule and went smoothly.
Iblings is back at Bethel and
doing fine. Naturally, an event
such as this does affect a
family in some way, but for
the Iblings it has done a little
bit more. "It's brought our
family closer together, and it
seems that it's brought our

"If you ever have the chance
to give a kidney or something,
yob should, because it really
isn't that bad," he said about
the experience.
"The Lord took care of
everything," he said. "He met
all our needs financially, you
could just feel his presence

Trial shuttle service available for student shoppers
by John Clark
Beginning Feb. 7 Bethel will
begin a shuttle bus service
from the Bethel campus to the
Har Mar and Rosedale shop-ping
centers on a trial basis.
The service will run for all
the the spring semester on the
trial basis where it will be re-evaluated
as to its continued
feasibility. If the service
proves to be a viable opera-tion
it will be continued the
following fall.
The cost of the service for
patrons will be 500 each way
despite the Bethel Student
Associations recommended
250 per trip proposal. Don
Evans, Vice President for
Business Affairs, indicated
that payment must be made
before riding the buses. "If
they're going to use it, they'll
have to pay for it," he said.
"We're trying to make the
service self-sufficient," said
Evans. "We'll subsidize it if
there are any shortfalls init-ially."
"It doesn't have to turn a
profit initially," Evans added.
"The students will have to
indicate they are going to use
the service. If there is an in-crease
in ridership then we'll
increase the services."
The shuttle service came
about as the result of a survey
that indicted that 53 percent
of those questioned indicated
they would use the service if
provided.
This is not the first time a
shuttle service has been pro-vided
by the school for the
students. In the fall of 1980,
buses ran between the two
shopping centers but a lack of
ridership spelled the end of
the project.
A marketing plan will be
used to make the maximum
use of the buses as well as
keeping records of riders
down and back. "If it doesn't
work out," said Evans, "with
a marketing plan, we can tell
the students it didn't work
out."
The Executive Board of the
Bethel Student Association
submitted a proposal that
would have included services
to other areas where a number
of Bethel students live. That
proposal, however, was dis-missed
until the effectiveness
of the current services are
evaluated.
"I think the shuttle is well
worth it," said Student Body
President Steve Goodwin,
who is also in favor of extend-ing
the transportation routes.
The bus run schedules will
be posted by the gym doors
where the time schedules for
student housing are posted.

Global study fields
far from 'closing down'
Spring term is time
to set priorities
As, a new semester begins, we examine our new
schedules. Will we have enough time for ourselves? Will we
really have to get up early for that morning class? When can
we find time for that part-time job? We need the job to pay
our bills.
We get it worked out with time for classes, studying and
work. Work, in turn, will provide just enough money for our
entertainment and food. It is all just fitting in exactly when
we remember the planning committee we were asked to help
with. There is also that prayer meeting we wanted to go to
each week. Now what do we do? The meeting would cut
into work time and we might not have all the money we
want. We'd promised to give some money to missions this
semester, too.
How do they do it? Some students seem to have time for
class, studying, committees, and other service. Some have
jobs besides all this. A lot of them are generous with their
money and possessions, too.
"But I really don't think I have time to get involved!"
"What do you mean help those less fortunate? I'm trying to
get an education so I can do that someday!"
We go through all these arguments in our minds. The best
answer we can come up with is: I just can't. But why? If it is
something we truly feel we should do and want to do, we
need to have faith that God will help us to find the time and
money for that. If we feel right in making the commitment to
something God will help us to keep that commitment.

church closer together, too,"
said Iblings. There was a fund
started at their church to pay
for plane fare and other ex-penses.
"Everything just fell
into place," said Iblings.
"I just felt relaxed, like I
didn't have anything to worry
about. I slept good the night
before the operation; I knew
that it was all in God's hands,"
said Iblings.
According to Iblings, there
were other alternatives; his
father's sister was also a suit-able
donor, there was also the
fact that his father could go
on dialysis,-but Iblings want-ed
more than that for his
father. "I guess it didn't ac-tually
save his life," added
Iblings, "but it gave him a lot
more freedom."
But everything is not perfect
yet. The greatest time for re-jection
is from 45 to 60 days
after the operation. "I'd be
discouraged if it happened,
but there's not much chance
of that because he has blood
work done three times a week,
and they can catch it (the
rejection) Gird give him med-.
icatioi-Cip: stop the rejection ;
so he Won't-lose the kidney,"
said Iblings.
The operation was a pub-licized
thing, thus, many peo-ple
knew about it. Iblings feels
that the support that they
received was very positive.
"It made the people aware of
things, and there was prayer
for us all over the United
States," said Iblings. "There

he added.
- As a final thought, Iblings
again emphasized the working
presence of the Lord through
the entire experience. "The
Lord took care of everything,
he met all our needs. We could
just feel his presence all the
time," said Iblings with a
smile.

We regret any misun-derstanding
resulting
from the Jan. 10 article

for me. I find it interesting
that someone in the Placement
Office reports that, "Majors
like anthropology and lin-guistics
are closing down. Those
obscure fields are what get
closed down first when the
economy is bad."
At the same time, what I
find overseas is that mission-aries
are looking harder than
ever for new personnel pre-pared
in these very areas that
are "closing down." The fact
is, that disciplines which aim
at international and global
issues are just beginning to
open up, and it is clear from
what is happening worldwide
that it will be a long time
before such fields as linguis-tics
and anthropology "shut
down."
Either the informant in the
Placement Office is incredi-bly
ill-informed or your cor-respondent,

soaked things up and got them
all backwards. Why not get
your information from people
who are supposed to know

clerical help?

Stadium
project is
still dream
To The Editor:
A recent Clarion article
"Study Undertaken on New
Stadium" (Dec. 10) may be
misleading and I want to set
the record straight.
I was given the assignment
to conduct a feasibility study
for a multi-purpose stadium
that would be named in honor
of Chuck Schwab. The article
stated this and also mentioned
three facts that need to be
re-emphasized.
1. No definite commitment
has been made by Bethel or
any contributors yet.
2. Finances must be met
for the fieldhouse before any
new fundraising drives can
be started.
3. The stadium and field-house
are completely separ-ate
projects.
The time lines given in the
article were my own dreams
but were stated in such a way
as to give one the impression
that authorization had been
granted. This is unfortunate
in light of the fact that fund-ing
for the fieldhouse is not
yet complete. I am sure there
were a number of Bethel sup-porters
who wondered how
we could be starting another
campaign complete with con-struction
plans and dates be-fore
our initial south campus
project, i.e. the fieldhouse was
completed. For this misunder-standing
I apologize.
While outdoor play fields
are much needed at Bethel
they must be funded and con-structed
in line with other
much needed facilities. I will
continue to conduct a feasibil-ity
study for additional south
campus facilities and attempt
to discover new resource peo-ple
to help me. I will also con-tinue
to work with Jim Bragg
and his staff to raise the re-maining
funds necessary for
the construction of the field-house.
I will, at the same time,
attempt to dream more clearly
and less loudly!

play review
Teamwork is underlying success of show
by Janet Ewing
Ever notice that people who wear contact lenses blink a lot?
Why do they do this?
I'm glad you asked. I wear contacts so I know these things.
To be more precise, I wear hard contacts.
I used to walk around saying that people who wear soft
contacts are wimps. Any real person would wear hard
contacts.
In all truth, I would wear soft contacts if I didn't have
astigmatism. (That means I can't wear soft contacts.)
There's nothing like sitting serenely in church when a little
wispy-linty guy floats over and lands on your contact lens.
Not festive. The pain you encounter at that moment is greater
than anythino
'
p anyone has ever experienced. Nobody knows
how much that hurts until it haS happened to her. Or him.
Whatever.
Why do people wear contacts? I can only answer you from
my own viewpoint. Why be any uglier than you have to? I
mean, who wants a permanently dented nose?
I was just thrilled when I got my contact lenses. They were a
graduation present from my parents. I'd wanted contacts ever
since seventh grade when the boy who sat in front of me in
social studies said I wouldn't be nearly so ugly if I didn't wear
glasses. A point well taken.
Nobody told me pain was the price of beauty.
It is.
But hold on a minute. Beauty? Isn't that going a little far?
Okay, charming good looks. But on with the column.
One problem with wearing contacts is morning. It takes a
great deal of inner strength to put in contacts in the morning. It
also takes a compatible schedule. Hard contact wearers do not
take 8 a.m. classes unless they have a respectable pair of
glasses.
I had worn contacts exclusively for two and a half years
when I got a new pair of frames for my glasses. I was
immediately thrilled with the new frames. They made me look
intellectual.
When you're in college you don't need beauty, you need
brains. Glasses may be the only way to look intellectual.
Unfortunately glasses aren't so terribly comfortable either
until you've broken them in.
I had only had my contacts for a week when I lost the first
lens. A dog ate it. Don't ask.
But back to pain. There are times when I cannot tell that I am
wearing my contacts because I am momentarily comfortable.
In fact, I can sometimes go a whole day feeling comfortable.
And I hear that soft contact lens wearers often experience the
joy of comfortable eyes.
However, soft and hard contact lens wearers alike blink. A
lot. Like 197% more blinks per day than the average person
with good eyes.
Why is this?
I'm glad you asked. It's to get the little wispy-linty guys off
your contacts. There remains the mentality that if only you
blink a lot, the contacts will become comfortable. It doesn't
work that way, though.
Life is full of disappointments.

"Pirates of Penzance," the
production of the interim
operetta class under the direc-tion
of Jeffery S. Miller, in-structor
in theatre arts; Rick
Rees, instructor in theatre
arts; and Gerard Sundberg,
assistant professor of music,
was put together in two
weeks. As well as the play
turned out, maybe future pro-ductions
should use the same:
time. criteria.
This singing spoof worked;
it was hilariousgplaying well
at St. Anthony, a stage far
superior in size to the one on
campus.
Underlying the success of
-the production was a sense arf
unity, togetherness, or team
work, whidi in ,turn set Off
the individual performances.
It was somewhat like the
Miami Dolphins, who have
consistently won without a
particular player coming to
mind; this play won with
teamwork.
The teamwork involved in
the costumes, makeup, set de-sign,
and scenery played a
part in this winning combina-tion,
although two exceptions
detracted from it. One was
the ship which looked like a
float from a parade and
seemed to be too corny an
anachronism. The other was
the fake sideburns on the
Major-General which looked
like they were made out of
plastic.
Viewing the players, the
teamwork was more appar-ent.
For instance, the police-men,
who were a gag just to
look at, together timed and
mis-timed their babbling and
head jerking, all to the laugh-ing
delight of the audience.
And the giggling, undressing
wards who on the sight of
handsome Frederic sing in
orchestrated symphony of
costume, movement, piano,
and voice.
As unfair as it is to pick out
individual performers, some
mention is due. Kelli McNutt
did a tremendous job toward
the teamwork of movement
as the play's choreographer.
Diane Strandquist was a mil-lion
laughs with her theatri-cal
eye movements, gestures,
and voice as Ruth, Frederic's
nurse. Amy Koelz showed off
her stunning beauty and voice
as Edith, a ward. Krista Palm-quist
cleanly reached high
notes and performed as she
sang in her lead as Mabel, the
ward who liked Frederic.
Thomas Tuttle also had a
clean performance as Frederic.
Brad Bak as the Pirate King,
Jonathan Veeriker as the
Major-General, John and
Carolyn Nordquist on piano,
Mark Granlund on animation,
the list could go on and on. It
was truly a team performance.
A dedication ceremony was held Jan. 27 for the newly completed
Seminary library addition. Copeland/photo

Among the archival collec-tion

of past presidents

and documents, publications

Tankson relates faith to healing
by Paul C. Davis
"Basically, I have a simple
personality. I'm a fairly seri-ous
person, and I tend to be
people-oriented," said Edith
Tankson, one of the new mem-bers
of Bethel's nursing de-partment.
Having grown up in inner-city
Chicago, Tankson under-stands
the tough life. She
faced her share of hard times.
"I look at nursing as a helpful
profession, one must be able
to accept and care for people
of various backgrounds," said
Tankson. Her background in
dealing with the problems
faced by kids in the inner city
has shaped her attitude to-ward
her profession.
Tankson holds the view
that faith, learning, and her
profession are closely inter-woven.
"God is able to heal,
and he has chosen to use peo-ple
as instruments through
which he can work," said
Tankson.
Tankson takes her career
seriously, and urges students
to do likewise. "Take school
seriously, but have a good
time at it," she said, "It is a
privilege in this country that
not everyone else in the world
has." Tankson holds an M.A.
degree in Public Health.
"My father knew that I
would have to face discrimi-nation
all of my life, and he
prepared me for it," she said.
Tankson believes in doing the
best you can and being what
you are. "Discrimination is a
hurtful thing still, but you
have to work for what you
want. You have to be the per-son
God intended for you to
be," said Tankson.
Tankson sees her profession
as "a vehicle for God's heal-ing."
She encourages her stu-dents
to share their faith with
their patients when they enter
into their jobs. "I see nursing
as its own form of evange-lism,"
she said, "and it can be
a very productive one at that."

In an effort to help those
who are dieting, the food ser-vice
is offering menus based
on the Scarsdale diet, a well-balanced,
low-calorie diet.
"It is a common fact that
girls especially put on weight
their first year of college,"
said Judy Heiman, assistant
food service manager and
coordinator of the diet menus.
She said there is a need for
a diet menu and people have
had a lot of interest in a low-calorie
menu.
The food service began of-fering
the menus January 10
and will continue to offer them
each week until the end of the
year. This , will allow people
to join at anytime.
"If it gets to the place where
it is not going, we will discon-tinue
it," said Helman. "I think
it is a good tool to get the
weight off."
According to Helman the
purpose of the diet menu is to
help people be aware of what
they are eating and to help
them choose low-calorie food.
The underlying principle of
the diet is it provides 43 per
cent of the total calories as
protein, 22 per cent as fat and
35 per cent as carbohydrates.
Because calorie :intake is
strictly limited, there is no
need to count calories.
The dieters stay on the diet
for only two weeks and are to
eat only what is assigned.
The diet excludes all foods
that are high in fats and calo-ries.
It also omits all extras
such as dressings, mayon-naise,
.butter, margarine,
sugar, cream, jellies and pea-nut
butter.
The dieters then go on what
is called a keep-trim diet for
two weeks before switching
back to the Scarsdale diet.
Th'e keep-trim _ diet allows
more varietybut still consists
of low-calorie foods.
There are results in the first
few weeks if the diet is cor-rectly
followed, according to
Heiman.
Dr. Herman Tarnower's
book "The Complete Scars-dale
Medical Diet" is recom-mended
by the food service to
be used in order to follow diet-ing
procedures and 1-igalthpre 7,
cautions. A physician's ap-proval

type of weight loss is encour

Edith Tankson, a recent addition to Bethel's nursing department,
views her profession as a vehicle for God's healing.
Prayer Chapel sculpture under construction
by Paul Davis
' A variety of different activities have been going on
during this interim, but perhaps one of the most inter-esting
of the past month's activities has been the work
done by the interim art class, Art in a Public Space.
This class uses an apprentice-type relationship
with an instructor. The class deals with the concep-tion
and creation of a piece which will become part of a
public space. The class is constructing a sculpture
with the careful guidance of Stewart Luckman, pro-fessor
of art. This sculpture will be finished and un-veiled
some time before the Easter holiday, said
Luckman.
The sculpture will be placed in the Prayer Chapel
when it is finished. According to Luckman, the theme
of the piece is liturgical, and deals with the crucifixion.

Plocker places first
at NW Open meet
by Rich Whybrew
Bethel trackmen once again
ventured forth last weekend,
earning places at the North-west

Senior Tom Plocker was
Bethel's highest finisher of all

On Jan. 26 Bethel played its
first game ever against a Div-ision
II opponent when the
Royals took on Bemidji State
University. A slow start by
the Royals' gave BSU all the
advantage it needed in record-ing
a 67-47 win.
"We felt like we played with
them," commented Bjorklund.
"The big difference came in
the first 5-7 minutes where
we were a little tentative.
Once we got going we played
even with them."
Bradley placed in the top six
with a 52.0, while Brig Strole
showed some consistency
with two 53.3's in the preli-minary
and final races.
The Royals also showed
depth in the half mile, as Jay
Van Loon and Dave Jorgen-son
were within one second
of each other at 2:00 and 2:01
respectively.
Steinar Engebretsen pro-vided
Bethel with some scor-ing
punch in the field events,
going over 42' in the triple
jump for fourth place.
Bethel needed to play its
best game three nights later if
it stood any chance of defeat-ing
the defending champion
Concordia-Moorhead squad.
Unfortunately foul trouble for
the Royals' pp ost players,
Sharon Huisinga- and
Almeroth, added up to a 56-
45 victory for the Cobbers.
"It seems like every game
one aspect of our game is not
up to par," explained' Bjork-lund.
"This time it was our
transition game. We would
get the ball down the floor but
we didn't capitalize."

cumbed to fatigue and the
Gusties. The fatigue resulted
from only having three lines
due to injuries. Assistant
Coach Steve Larson was sat-isfied
with the team's play
but pointed to the injury fac-tor.
"We only dressed three
lines because of injuries.
We've got about seven or eight
regulars out right now."
Against Hamline, the team
started slowly and was un-able
to put enough pressure
on to overcome the Pipers.
The Royals picked up the pace
in the third period but were
unable to score. The game
ended 3-2 in favor of Hamline.
The team was forced to for-feit
four victories due to using
two ineligible players. Both
cases involved technicalities
that did not surface until re-cently.
Bethel picked up its third
win as the Royals defeated St.
Scholastica by a 4-2 margin
on Jan. 29. With the win Bethel
put its record at 5-14 on the
season as a result of the for-feitures.

Skida Lopa cross country ski

night before the Jan. 29 race

Placing 25th overall and the
first woman was Maren Wat-son,
who clocked a 69:35 to
finish well ahead of second
place Ellen Anderson of
Carleton who completed the
course in 72:22.
The top Bethel skier was
freshman Matt Simpson who
was 23rd overall with his time
of 68:58.
Many Bethel Ski Club mem-bers

_ Palke did not feel that his
team felt any pressure from
the Royal's winning streak or
that the two defeats would
result in a letdown for his
squad.
"I hope we won't have any
letdowns," he said. "What has
happened is history and we
just have to get ready for our
next game. We still have a
chance to win the whole thing
and we have a better chance
of making the playoffs. At the
end of the season we can take
the time to think back about
the streak."
Bethel got its 10 straight
wins by defeating St. Olaf 76-
64 on Jan. 19 and Augsburg
80-73 on Jan. 22. Dion Wolter
led Bethel during the week
including a 24-point outburst
against the Oles where his 11
straight points broke a 55-55
tie and enabled the Royals to
cruise to victory. Wolter was
named the MIAC's player of
the week for his performan-ces
in the two games.

"The snow conditions were
a bit of a drawback," said
Bohne. "But the best of the

Walt Huemmer of St. Paul

wouldn't have happened."
Palke said a major factor
was Bethel's 37 percent shoot-ing
from the floor. Prior to the
game, Bethel had been aver-aging
over 50 percent from
the field.
Despite the loss to the
Tommies, Bethel still had a
shot at first place two nights
later when the Royals took on
Concordia. Although Bethel
led much of the contest the
Cobbers pulled through in the
end to keep its hold on first
with a 68-63 triumph.
The difference, said Palke,
was Bethel's 5-15 performance
from the free-throw line. In
the tightly played game that
was all it took to spell defeat
for the Royals.

Four forfeits force Royals to bottom of conference
by John Lilleberg
It was an eventful two
weeks for Bethel's hockey
team featuring three wins,
two losses and four forfeits.
The wins came over St. John's,
Stout and St. Scholastica and
the losses to Gustavus and
Hamline and the forfeits were
the result of an eligiblity prob-lems
concerning two transfer
students.
Against St. John's the Roy-als
recorded their first shut-out
ever in winning 8-0. The
game featured sharp offense,
hard-hitting defense and good
goaltending from freshman
Bob Atol. According to tri-captain
Jon Erickson, "The
forwards were putting the
puck in the net pretty hand-ily.
There was a lot of good
hitting going on out there.
Everyone played pretty well."
The Royals' next win was a
6-1 decision over Wisconsin-
Stout. Again, the Royals
played a strong overall game.
The effort was particularly
commendable as it came
shortly after the team found
out that they would be forced
to forfeit four games. Senior
defenseman Dave Shapiro
summed up the effort, "It was
a good game for us to pick up
momentum. Psychologically it
was important—we were
pretty depressed after we
heard about the forfeits."
Bethel put forth a strong
effort against Gustavus but
lost 5-4 in overtime. The team
played well but finally suc-hockey,

meets by Rick Whybrew
The Bethel wrestling squad
split a pair of matches at Gus-tavus
Jan. 28, losing to Augs-burg
and defeating the
Gusties.
Bethel first wrestled against
powerhouse Augsburg, losing
the match 42-3.
"Augsburg is probably the
second rated NAIA team in
the nation," said Dave Klos-treich,
Bethel wrestling coach,
of the loss. "But we wrestled
hard against them and put
out a lot of effort."
Gustavus squared off
against the Royals in the next
match, but this time the Bethel
wrestlers came out on top 29-
21. Bethel seemed to get off on
the wrong foot, as the Royals
had to forfeit the first match
and then lost three of the next
four. Jim Krier was the only
victorious Royal at this point,
pinning his man in the first
period. -
Bethel then roared back, as
John Snyder pinned his 158
lb. opponent, Ben McEachern
shook off an ankle injury to
pin his 167 lb. adversary, Tim
'Kenip earned a superior deci-sion
at 177 lbs., and Barry
Ahlsten ended Bethel scoring
with a pin at 190 lbs.
Matching each loss with a
win appears to be a trade-mark
of this year's sqUad, as
its record now stands 5-6.
