14 May 1982 the Clarion. Vol. 57 No. 29 Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Dr., St. Paul, MN Art department bears fruit 1982 All SchaDI 3avigmet Pragravvi Banquet eases down yellow brick road by Jan E. Johnson On Monday, May 10, Ken Steinbach was awarded a $250 scholarship during the annual Raspberry Monday art exhibition at the Bethel Gallery. "The name of the award came from an incident that happened to the do-nors, who want to remain anonymous, on a Monday while picking raspberries; hence, 'Raspberry Mon-day,' " said George Robin-son, professor of art. "When we first received the award 10 years ago, it was the first such award that the ' art department had ever received, so we decided to have an art ex-hibition to publicize the award. But I'd like to em-phasize the fact that the winner of the award is not the winner of the exhibi-tion. It's not a contest, but strictly a student exhibi-tion to publicize the Rasp-berry Monday award." Each year the faculty of the art department selects a student who is not only outstanding in art, but has also contributed to the art department and to Bethel in terms of leadership and participation. The winner is usually a junior or sen-ior and the $250 is used towards tuition. Bethel's All School Ban-quet, Saturday, May 15, will host the theme "The Wizard of Us." Dinner will be served in the gym (the Emerald Ci-ty), the Coffee Shop (Munchkin Land) and the by JoAnn Watkins Bethel College will not house students at Bright-on Village next year, ac-cording to Rodney Long, director of housing. More seniors and juniors were housed than expected but because of the low num-ber of sophomores apply-ing for Bethel housing the 19 apartments at Brighton Village will not be used. Long said that not all of those apartments had been assigned and that stu-dents are being given the option of moving to Sil-vercrest. "We didn't want to do it but it is not good stewardship to rent very expensive housing and have other housing emp-ty," said Long. It causes an increase in the students' expenses. Long said the decision is uncertain at this point as to if a bus will run to Brighton Vil-lage. Because there are still Cafeteria (the Castle Dun-geon.) Live entertainment will be provided during dinner in all three areas, featur-ing: Charlene McKinnis, Sherwood's mom; Mrs. James Johnson, Nancy's mom; and Rick Drake, openings in off-campus housing, round #3 has been extended for contin-uing students. Long has lifted the quota limits for each class of students. "I'm assuming we've met 100 per cent of the senior's needs for those who've ap-plied so far," said Long. In round #1 the senior quota was reached and ex-tended at that time. In to-tal, 197 seniors were given housing, 150 per cent of senior capacity. There was an increase in the number of seniors request-ing housing. The junior quota was reached in round #2. One-hundred seventeen juniors were Paul's son. The show "The Wizard of Us" will follow dinner and will be held in the gym. Seating will begin at 6:15 in the gym and 6:45 in the Coffee Shop and Cafe-teria. housed. Requests for hous-ing from sophomores were down from what was ex-pected based on the past. Four-hundred twenty re-ceiving housing, only 85 per cent of projected need. Long said he feels the application procedure went well. Almost 700 ap-plied in the first round. Long said that there are approximately 30 over-loads in apartments right now. These overloads in-creased the senior quota. Long speculates that the decrease in sophomore ap-plications may be due to rate increases, financial aid uncertainties or to summer job uncertainties. Ken "We're not real sure how it's going to turn out, we're just sort of winging it," said John Tarula, instruc-tor in the art department, in reference to yesterday's Artichoke Thursday. A continuation of Raspberry Monday, Artichoke Thurs-day first came about when Tarula was driving past a town in California which claimed to be the arti-choke capital of the world. "Well, there's the 'art' in 'artichoke,' and artichokes are kind of eccentric vege-tables, so it's kind of a chance for everyone to be eccentric in the court-yard," Tarula said. "Be-sides, it's the day before the last day of classes, so it's also kind of a celebra-tion." Several cases of arti-chokes were shipped in to be served with butter sauce for the enjoyment of the entire students body. The Bethel Jazz Band was slated to appear, and there were plans for door prizes.

But it is also a time of beginnings. As the graduates leave Bethel and move on to new tasks, returning students, too, are beginning new tasks for the summer and the coming school year. New beginnings are often attacked with ambition and idealism. To an extent that is great—every organi-zation needs new ideas, fresh approaches and the excitement students can bring in. But in the excitement of a new task, it is easy to lose sight of ground work done by predecessors and of the long-term goals. This is particularly true in the college setting where there are new leaders every year. So a few recommendations for new student leaders: Remember, many people have been here before you doing what they thought was best for the students at the time, and there will be many to follow after you, too. So be far-sighted and sensitive to the whole school's needs. The students and administrators should have some input. They have good ideas; listen to them. God bless all of you as you start new tasks. letters Tanquist withholds 50% as 'conscience deduction' Dear Editor: I've never been aesthet-ically impressed with Bethel's boxy structures (functionally, however, they're great) until I open-ed this week's Clarion: Don Copeland's center-spread makes what once seemed Bethel bland more like Marcel Breuer's time-less arches at St. John's or I.M. Pei's daring angles at the National Gallery of Art or the ordered geomet-rics of De Stijl. Don proves the point that it all de-pends on how you look at it—and he has a very good eye. Florence Johnson Internal Revenue Service Peace be unto you: I have decided after much thought and prayer to withhold a portion of my federal income tax for reasons of conscientious objection to war. I have chosen not to pay 50 per cent of the tax due to my government and will in-stead give it to peace-seek-ing and life-affirming or-ganizations. I believe that the United States' preparation for nu-clear war and a first strike capability poses the great-est threat to the survival of the human race and life on this planet. It is the greatest evil we are called to support. My religious beliefs and conscience di-rect me to continue my objection to this rush to-ward destruction in refus-ing to contribute to it. The past two years I have con-sciously lived beneath the taxable limit to avoid con-tributing to this madness. A further factor in my refusal of the war portion of the federal income tax is the multitude of human needs which go unmet be-cause the military gets the bulk of the budget money. This is evident in 'Presi-dent Reagan's proposed budget and cutbacks di-rectly hurting and depriv-ing the poor, the elderly and those in school while blatantly enhancing and strengthening the military and escalating the nuclear arms buildup. Through-out my city and the entire country this is apparent in the housing crisis and ram-pant unemployment; many are lacking basic necessities. People are starving around the world but the United States sells and gives their govern-ment weapons. The final meeting of the Student Senate was held in the Upsala Room at a dinner banquet on May 10. The ceremonies in-cluded the giving of awards, both serious and humorous, and reviewing the budgets of Senate-funded organizations. Steve Goodwin report-ed that combination locks on the PO boxes would be put on this summer. Each member of the executive committee gave either an oral or written report ex-pressing his/her reactions to the past year in Senate. The Senate also approved a bill giving $50 to the Jogathon sponsored by the soccer team. The Senate Leadership Award went to Jane Stoner for the hard work and enthusiasm she has given. The Public Action Committee received the I realize the life support-ing services my govern-ment performs and appre-ciate them. I am also aware of the possible con-sequences of my war tax resistance. It is not an easy decision to disobey a law despite the fact that this peaceful disobedience is an obligation of my con-science. For the reasons I have Outstanding Senate Com-mittee Award for the work and effort given to summarized here I have chosen to withhold pay-ment of 50 per cent of my taxes owed by claiming a conscience deduction ap-plicable to my 1981 taxes.

(CCN)—Cov-enant College plans to bring every student to "a satisfactory level of corn-puter literacy before grad-uation," reports Covenant Courier, a college publica-tion. "This will soon be an important step in being able to work in any area of society," says Dr. Charles Donaldson, director of plan-ning and enrollment devel-opment. "If you think corn-puters are in wide use now, just wait and see what happens in the next few years." Beginning next fall, stu-dents at Covenant will be able to take computer science as a major in prep-aration for careers in bus-iness, data processing, scientific computing, data analysis, or graduate study in computer science. Or, computer science can be taken as a minor along with a major in such areas as business administra-tion, accounting, pre-engin-eering— or even Bible or English, the college publi-cation notes. "A compelling reason for the decision to add the computer science pro-gram," Dr. Donaldson ex-plains, "was the need to address the many challeng-ing issues related to the computer revolution with-in the context of a Chris-tian liberal arts education. "In addition to master-ing computing skills and applications, the purpose, motivation and theory of computer science will be explored. Students will be presented strategies for re-lating technology and one's Christian faith and world view," he adds. Dr. Douglas Sizemore, who has been teaching com-puter science classes and statistics at Covenant the past eight years, will direct the program and teach sev-eral courses in the new major. "I am excited about this program and the possibili-ties it will open up," he says. "In addition to pre-paring students for various business and computer ca-reers, we will be working on important applications for the local church and para-church organizations. "Existing programs at Covenant will be augment-ed by the on-campus corn-puter program," he notes. "An increasing number of disciplines now require competence in computer science." Last December, Coven-ant College was advised that a $220,000 grant is being awarded to the col-lege by an anonymous do-nor to fund the new pro-gram of studies in informa-tion and computer science. by Kraig,Klaudt After four years, I still cannot- decide whether my stay in the Kingdom of Bethel deserves a Psalm or a Lamentation. Yes, there was lifestyle, liberty and the pursuit of preppiness. However, there was also the frustration of moving among individuals and institutions who bore the name of a Savior they sometimes scarcely resem-bled. While I have never regretted attending this school (and you can quote me in the admissions catalogue as saying so), I do have a few final moans and groans to make for the benefit of those left behind in this year's senior rapture. First of all, I am concerned that our college is becom-ing more an institution and less a community. I have never been a fan of institutions. They take a strangle-hold on human life through unflexible policies, crystalized budgets, sterile syllabi and codified charity. Locks welded on PO box doors and silverware-sniffing bloodhounds patrolling the cafeteria exits are only a couple indications of a community selling its birthright for the cold comfort of institutionalism. . Community, on the other hand, is a beautiful medium through which the varied instruments of God'can be given expression. It might be the spontaneous creativ-ity of a guitarist making melody in the hallway, or a professor who appreciates a student's need for flexible, nonstandard education. Or perhaps a night watchman who will make an exception when 11 p.m. rolls around. Every administrative policy, every classroom objec-tive, every opportunity for apathy has the potential of moving what we broadly term as "Bethel" a step closer to either community or institutionalism. Secondly, I am concerned for those who are opting for unauthenticity rather than humanness. Far too many students seem content to settle with grades, GPAs and consensus rather than with intellec-tual honesty and even uncertainty. Popularity is usu-ally chosen before personal conviction. Religion is too often an adequate substitute for an experience with the Savior. On May 23, I will be handed my little prize. for suc-cessfully completing a rigorous, four-year academic steeplechase. I anticipate that this event will be anti-climactic. I may stand there and mutter, "Is this what it all was for?" As is so many other areas of life, it will again become clear that the prizes are of paper and tinsel while the value is in how the race run. Looking back, I regret the evenings I played scholarly games rather than directly adding to another person's life. I regret the times I ignored my own spiritual well-being for the sake of temporal tasks and deadlines. So few things in life really matter as much as other people and Christ. Finally, I am concerned about the symbols with which Bethelites identify. Sometimes I think that the only light to come from our city on a hill originates at the twin radio towers east of the campus at night. Are we really that unique in this world with our all-steak banquets, utopian fieldhouses, chic dorm room decor and marshmellow-white recruit-ment? Are we feeding His sheep or supporting Alliga-tors and Izods? Obviously, much healing and compassion has come out of Bethel. But has it been to the degree that the poor and oppressed can testify, "Yes, they have been for us and with us"? Having done more lamenting than praising, I must apologize for not giving due credit to the many positive forces at work on the campus. Believe me, there are many. As I said before, I am glad I lived these past years at 3900 Bethel Drive. I only hope that twenty years from now, when I identify myself as a graduate of Bethel College, I will be able to say the same more enthusias-tically.

Patience truly is a vir-tue, and the rewards well worth the inconvenience. So anxious in the begin-ning, now I am just as anx-ious but I know more fully that Christ has everything in control and that when I trust Him, I need not wor-ry. Some seniors — I dare say most — know not where they are headed. I do know that I'll be in seminary next fall, but I don't know much more.

Thank you for being a place in which I could grow up! Crystal Engel Synopsis of college career Dear Editor: 1. What I have learned: I have learned to ask good questions. 2. What I want to be (now that I am grown up?): I want to be a cowboy, a super-hero, or a gasoline station attendant. Bethel has been my place to experience what can be summed up as "life" — what makes it worthwhile and why I am even here. I grew and learned, and Beth-el facilitated my steps and provided the means for my "life project," otherwise known as a college educa-tion. Who's to thank? People, some I don't even know. People who help build this place, and breathe into it ,brave aspirations which we as students may lay hold of. Especially the teachers, who are so good at bringing out of us things we never knew were there; the amazing profs who listen and care, and who willingly read papers stained with coffee, writ-ten the night before. Now I'm preparing to leave this place into who-knows- what and I am ready. I've been filled with things for four years now, and it's coming time to test and sharpen them. Bethel has prepared me and I have prepared me; and although there is always some sad-ness when a part of your life closes, there is also an excitement for life and a desire for what lies be-yond. And with God's help, we'll all lay hold of it. Thank you, Bethel for your computerized room-mate selection. This has given me some of the best friends I'll ever have. Thank you, custodians and caretakers, for attempt-ing to maintain Bethel's beauty. I look forward to your spring clean-up every year. Thank you, "profs" who took the time to get to know my name... and me, not just my PO or ID num-ber.

Sincerely yours, Thanks, Scott Lastine Judy Hougen Chapman makes final comment about Lifestyle Statement Dear Editor: Seeing as this is the last issue of the Clarion for the year and my last chance to write, I thought I'd con-tribute to the ongoing dis-cussion of the lifestyle, something I've planned to do for months now. The lifestyle is not com-patible with the idea of a liberal arts college educa-tion. Essential to a liberal arts education is a great deal of self-development and exploration. It is a time when a student can really establish/discover the meaning or lack of it behind his or her different beliefs. A behavioral life-style puts limits on its exploring process. Beyond the norms it sets down, it also often pro-jects or is the cause of cer-tain attitudes. A student does not always feel free to question his/her beliefs in an atmosphere like Beth-el's. This questioning is crucial to the building of a strong spiritual and phil-osophical base. When be-liefs are left unquestioned, they only come into doubt later at times of testing. I often do not feel comfor-table to share my doubts, spiritual and other, with others at Bethel. Instead of being a forum for dis-cussion the institution on-ly serves to enhance re-viewal of certain kosher topics. Right/wrogg dicho-tomies are encouraged in situations where they do not belong. The lifestyle also dis-torts Christianity by em-phasizing the exterior in-stead of the interior of a person's actions and atti-tudes. By saying the life-style is what makes Bethel distinctive, we reflect a Christianity far from what Jesus called it to be. He attacked all forms of legal-ism. Referring to the Pha-risees he said, "These peo-ple honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They wor-shi p me in vain: their teach-ings are but rules taught by men... Nothing outside a man can make him 'un-clean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean,"' (Mark 7:6b- 7,15). Paul also follows along these lines. In Romans 14, after considering the ques-tion of unclean food and those of weak and strong faith, he writes, "So what-ever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." (14:22) Also in Colossians • he writes, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival... Such regula-tions indeed have an ap-pearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed wor-ship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." (Col.- 2:16,23) Read Mark 12:28- 34 and find what is truly important. Bethel has become for me a place of restriction rather than of freedom. Not that the number of actual restrictions are so great, it is more just a feeling, just the atmosphere. There have been many things I've deeply appreciated in my four years at Bethel: the different opportunities to learn and widen my hori-zons, good friends, many good professors (to whom I'm very grateful, though I did not not always express this to them, and more. One thing, though, that I will not mind leaving be-hind will be the lifestyle code. Often I've wondered (and others too) what Bethel could be if what made it distinctive was its Christian liberal arts edu-cation combined with free-dom from a lifestyle code. Sincerely Mark B.

Jerry Manus by Marty Mallory Melody Karkiin Mark Chapman by Wendi Engel page 6 I trek along a stone-fenced lane, My thirst slows down my pace. Turning aside from the well-worn road To a path winding around the stile, I come upon a childhood haunt Secluded by poplar trees. The old tin cup dangles from a hook, Overhanging a spring that bursts From beds of rock where eons sleep. A rusted pail peeks out Between the dew-hemmed grass. I stoop to drink of water That bites of fall. And catch a toad in silence, Like me, bathing in morning song. The House A drive along a narrow, deserted road will inevitably guide you to it. The once stately mansion occupies a sunken hollow. Weatherbeaten trees accompanied by overwhelming weeks embrace the deterioration. A broken, stony path that curls from the road to the house is obscured by gnarling sage that caroms across the grounds. A deteriorating picket fence stands as a sentinel guarding the external world from the cold, lonely terror that seeps from the bosom of the house. As the gate withdraws to foot steps, a lonely hinge wails its revenge as the gate drops to the ground. Dangling branches grasp for the moonlight as you walk down the path. The ominous house looms mysteriously before you. From the dilapidated porch a swing hangs from a solitary frayed rope. The dark windows, like sunken black eyes glare unblinkingly through worm-eated frames, and splintered siding. A feeling of disquietness engulfs you as you turn to leave. Is it something to fear or to pity? The huge and ancient stone For centuries it lay Poised at the summit. Through all of the thousands of tiny fissures and cracks The minutest lichens and mosses clung Each sending its own microscopic hairs into the hard stone. Tiny roots of destruction Year upon year Time without end Then, at last The foundation falters Every tremor of earth is felt As the stone loosens its hold On the summit possessed so long The great stone falling Splintering on the smaller rocks below Rocks which had once been as this stone was— All toppled by time. Morning Sojourn In early morning sojourn I breathe deep the autumn air. It is crisp in September, When mornings are fall; Past noon, it turns to summer.

CROWING A harsh cry Over still water Carries far, It lunges into Waiting space Over A calm And Grabs the soft air With obvious Glare In its shallow sight. An echo's Urge to hold The sound Is memory, soon. Another (A void) Will carry it away, Very soon. A ripple Will chide And correct And stay— And touch, In still water. Steven Lemon by Rod Thannum page 9 My Chippewa friend rests in his battered canoe. His eyes look out from a face lined by sixty hard years. I sit crosslegged on the aging dock. The planks beneath me are smooth and bleached almost white by the suns and snows of many seasons. We are watching an October sun sink behind the spruce trees on the distant shore. An orange glow builds slowly in the western sky. It creeps across the silent lake and emblazons each stem of wild rice. The glow flows around us, past us, to the shore where it warms the whiteness of the birches and burnishes a million golden leaves. I watch Fred's eyes move, from the sky, to the lake, to the woods, to me. The lines of his face deepen to give the hint of a smile, and I know that we share a glow of our own, seeping through us, generating its own warmth of inner peace. We listen; and hear the silence, a silence accentuated by one soft clunk of a paddle shifting on the gunwales. We listen and hear the sigh of Toolies brushing the canoe. Then slowly I sense a far off sound. It is like a thousand muted wind chimes, or perhaps, the muffled chuckles of a hundred bubbling brooks. I sit listening, wondering if it's real. "That's Mudhens," he says. His answering of my unspoken question startles, but does not surprise me. It seems quite normal, for I have returned to another world. The tensions of my technological life have drained away. I am experiencing again the reality that I am my village and my village is me. I am a part of the cliffs and forests, and they are a part of me. My brother and I are one. We are hearing each other—soul to soul. Co nunicc fan Roy Willbee Desertion and the Draft During Wartime They I am a mass of people. I am a label machine. I'm the strange majority We all know as "they". I can squeeze an individual Into my common mold, Until he's finally labeled And shaped just like the crowd. I'm the mold that no one fits, Yet anyone can join. Just cancel your uniqueness, And be a groupie too. I'm the unseen pressure, My power can't be denied. I love to watch you all pretend To be someone you're not. I'll give you my security But for it you must pay; Just give me your identity And I'll make you like the rest. Janice Horsager I went down Seventh Street and took a poll I took my rifle and asked each man if he wanted to die. If he said "no," and ran away I took him out and shot him. If he said "yes," I shot him anyway. Wendy Verthein A soul, a person is in need. I sit while a man comes to trial. He stands, head hung low and begins to speak. As I listened, my heart was moved. Not from his speech but in his voice, his sorrow, his loneliness. "I don't belong here, I don't belong anywhere," he told me. "I need a friend. For am I a fool to be led here or am I just a fool?" he questioned. "I just want a friend, that's all." Our hearts cried together. Yet, when I reached to comfort him, he was gone... W.M. Perhaps one day you will remember inside some swiftly moving thought a day, no, just a moment - one small and transient moment When you and I joined minds - and then our hearts. And perhaps, too, in that remembrance There will be a smile and perhaps a tear from the laughter and maybe, just maybe the fear that it all has been forgotten But it's not. Katherine Juul Something Special page 10 The Brec king of c Sc Int —Judi Niemi by Bob Walatka I paused in church one morning to look at the statue. The woman of plaster was very still, as if to keep her veil from slipping off. She held pink roses. More roses were scattered on the ground where she knelt. Her head was tilted slightly as she prayed. She would not look at me, but gazed at the choir loft. It was not right for her to avoid my eyes. St. Theresa, the Little Flower, and I were old friends. As a child, I imagined her beside me constantly. She had been my companion. She was in almost any Catholic church, always praying for me while she held roses. Now she would not look at me. So I stopped to remember what it was like. I stopped to remember the day I said goodbye to St. Theresa, the day we both changed. The wind had twisted the skirt between my legs as I walked. Paris was bright that day and the sunlight made dead leaves glow as they skidded across the stones. The square was studded with colorful people and lost tourists. But the dark, gray building looming over their heads held my attention. Great stones encircled the delicate rose windows. Ancient saints guarded the wood doors and iron rings. My walk slowed down. Notre Dame stood before me. It was not just another cathedral to tour. It was not just another old church with much history to be learned and remembered with photographs. A Catholic church knew me as her child. Her stones, saints and smells were familiar. I knew Notre Dame though I had never entered there; I knew her soul. It had been many months since I had been in a familiar place. But here I even had a dear friend waiting inside. As I walked through the great doors, I could not have felt more welcome than N the saints of stone had cracked a smile. I went inside leaving the wind to stir leaves and dust at the feet of St. Benedict. When the doors closed, cool, moist air soothed my back. The clank of the door seeped into the air and mingled with the mumblings of the Mass. The sound moved down the aged corridors and melted into the black air. I made my way down the side corridor, passing by the stone images grafted onto the walls. I remember the candles. Before each statue were rows of tall, white candles, dripping, leaning and burning. The smoke prepared a haze which suspended the light. Some light slipped to the floor revealing names, dates and remorse engraved in stone. I went past each glowing statue, looking for the familiar eyes. I needed to see Theresa that day to tell her. A large array of candles spread a glowing carpet before the statue. I took a few steps to see the figure which quivered in the reflected light. The sweet face of Theresa turned to me. She paused from her prayer to smile and offer me the rose she held. Hundreds of candles warmed my face as I drew closer. Theresa watched as I dropped a coin into the metal box. The light reflected in her eyes as the flame eased from one candle to mine. I knelt as the candles softly dripped. Theresa and I prayed in silence for a time. We paused, as old friends do when there is no need to speak. After a moment, my words began. I told her I loved her, but did not need her any more. I had found the great King Himself. I wanted to thank her for her prayers. And I knew she still loved me. Even though I knew she would understand, my words seemed harsh in that quiet place. I felt strange in her shadow. My eyes felt hot, though tears tried to soothe them. As I looked at Theresa, she began to stiffen. The rose receeded back into her hand. She resumed her prayer with a slightly tilted head. The blush in her face grew cold. And her eyes did not meet mine. The only movement was a drop of water which stroked her cheek. I turned from the candles and walked away. I passed little children helping old women to kneel. Bent heads did not stir while wax dripped to the floor. The holy water at the door was cold to my touch. I felt the dark mumblings and walked into the crowded square. The wind sealed the door shut behind me. And now I stood before St. Theresa again. I did not light a candle. I did not kneel or cry. I watched as she prayed to the choir loft. She was still and quiet as stone. The solidified veil hid part of her face, but it could not hide her faint smile. Theresa never carried a grudge for long. I smiled and walked out. A Gift of Love More than the sparrows is mine, from the source of love abounding in all existence, proclaiming power and dominion over all. Early morn draws a sigh mixed with complaint at the arrival of yet another day. And outside my window, the sparrows' delicate jubilee rings clear through the cold, December air.

My cries of anger are lost among the heaps of wealth stockpiled for a "better tomorrow." The delusions of despair set in while fear reveals itself to the inner soul. Filtered memories and miraging visions leak through to fog the film of now. Lost unforgotten ways of life stalk the empty absolutes of my corrupted and confused existence. Future never comes.

Copeland by Brad Nelson page 12 by Teri Sens-ion When I Looked on the Apple Tree God I looked on the apple tree again today; but God this time I didn't walk by. The apple looked so perfect. I had to pause if only to gaze at firm rich redness. Beauty tasted sweet, ripeness begging to share fullness and joy. God I planned to obey; I knew I shouldn't stay but redness filled my nostrils, teasing my eye. Flesh crisped in my mouth; juice dripped down my chin. Behind my mind I knew I shouldn't eat but reason disappeared through doors closed by delight. God I bit that apple, enjoyed my senses. Sweet taste concealed the worm bitten in half shouting my mistake. I knew before and after it was wrong. But God my tongue denies sweet is bitter, my eyes, beauty is dark. Convince my nostrils of freshness' putrid stench. Apples taste so good, daily reminders of our disobedience-and your love. God help me live naked before you, walk in your way. And God please take away the apple trees. The Mime Hushed audience with slitted eyes all squint to see dim lights illuminate the white and painted mask set on a face of flint. The lights go up.

These examples of an indigenous textile art form dating back some 5,000 years have been brought together by American pho-tojournalist Jane Hamil-ton- Merritt, wild was nom-inated for a Pulitzer Prize for her front-line coverage of the Vietnam war, and who holds a Ph.D. in South-east Asian Studies. Includ-ed are pieces at least a cen-tury old, although many have been recently made in refugee camps of Thai-land, where thousands of Hmong and Yao refugees have fled. Working entirely free-hand, tribal women creat-ed these pieces in such highly individualistic styl-ization that no two are alike. The garments which their work adorns were everyday wear for field work and baby tending. Embroidered caps, baby carriers, jackets, trousers, and skirts appear along-side Dr. Hamilton-Mer-ritt's color photographs of men and women in tradi-tional dress. Represented are works of the Blue Hmong, the White Hmong and the Yao. The exhibit includes non-traditional wall hang-ings adorned by tradition-al motifs. Flat decorative pieces are popular in Amer-ica, where thousands of Hmong refugees have re-settled. The Minneapolis- St. Paul area has the larg-est concentration of such refugees in the United States, between 10,000 and 15,000. Members of the Hmong and Yao community are invited to the exhibit as guests of the museum on opening day, April 24. Spe-cial performances of tra-ditional music and textile demonstrations will be held that day. According to Hamilton- Merritt, the ancient culture of the Hmong and Yao is now in considerable jeo-pardy. Claiming that Viet-namese and Pathet Lao forces in Laos are deploy-ing deadly chemicals against these former Viet-nam war allies of the Uni-ted States, she testified before CongreSs on their survival. The exhibit in-cludes Hamilton-Merritt's black-and-white photo-graphs of Laotian refugees in the camps of Thailand. A companion exhibit or-ganized by The Science Museum of Minnesota will present a photo essay on the local Hmong commun-ity. This exhibit of photo-graphs from the St. Paul Dispatch/Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis Star/- Tribune vividly records the experiences of Hmong refugees in the Twin Cit-ies. Also included is a sev-en- minute video presenta-tion on Hmong music and textile arts in the area. During the exhibit's stay, local Hmong artists will give demonstrations of needlework, music, food preparation, and jewelry-making. The Science Mu-seum's theatre company will offet the play "Asian Tales", a presentation of Chinese, Hmong and Jap-anese folktales with tradi-tional music, dance, and costume. Textiles made by members of the local Hmong community will be on sale in the museum's Explore Store. The exhibit will be at the museum through July 25, 1982. Exhibit hours are 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Ad-mission to the exhibits is $3 for adults, $2 for senior citizens and children 12 and under.

(CPS)—"Where last year there was protest, this year there's a roar," says an aide to Rep. Peter Peyser (D-NY). He was reflecting in the aftermath of the influx of some 7000 college students into Washington on March 1 to corner representatives, and senators about the $1.9 billion President Reagan wants cuts from federal student aid programs. The rally—dubbed Na-tional Student Action Day by its sponsors—seems to be just the tip of a vast nationwide response to the proposed cuts. As many as 75 percent of the na-tion's colleges may be par- • ticipating in the fight against the cuts, accord-ing to one estimate. In contrast to the 1000 students who showed up to lobby last year, 7000 lobbied this year. Two days after that, 250 Pennsylvania students re-turned to lobby some more. A Tufts law professor has organized a national phone-a-thon by students in Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, Nebraska, Califor-nia and Maine, among other states. A similar cam-paign is planned for New York. Student governments and financial aid officers have staged letter-writing campaigns at UCLA, South-ern Cal, Colorado State, Marquette, Iowa, North-western, Penn State, and Northeastern, among many others. There have also been freelance efforts. University of New Mex-ico President Dr. William Davis, for example, recent-ly wrote the members of his congressionally delega-tion a letter containing thumbnail sketches of 11 UNM students who would have to leave school if the cuts were approved. Northern Michigan Pres-ident John Jamrich sent letters to parents to alert them to the effects of more state and federal budget cuts. At the University of Michigan, President Har-old Shapiro organized a meeting of 40 Michigan campus presidents, who in turn issued a resolution condemning the cuts. The appeals to parents, letter-writing campaigns, the phone calls to alumni and other activities extend to "perhaps 70 to 75 per-cent of the nation's cam-puses, Aaron estimates. The messages are usual-ly the same. University of . California system Presi-dent David Saxon predicts the cuts would have a "cat-astrophic effect" on col-leges. Yale President A. Bartlett Giamatti foresees "devastation." As many as five million students would be affect-ed by the cuts during the 1983-84 academic year, with as many as 1.5 mil-lion being forced from school, the ACE predicts. There is some indication all the uproar is working. Even conservative Repub-licands like John Ashbrook of Ohio and Alphone D'Amato of New York now pledge to vote against the cuts. Americans for Democra-tic Action Youth Caucus Director Charlie King warns students will active-ly work against "those can-didates who favor the Rea-gan budget cuts in higher education" in the fall. Progressive Student Net-work organizer David Sapp sees the protest as nothing less than "a new vision for a nation that will not use financial aid funds for war iri El Salva-dor." Some cut opponents pre-fer to work more quietly. Harvard financial aid Dir-ector Martha Lyman shunned participating in the Washington rally in favor of working through the traditional college lob-bying groups. - She wanted to avoid the image of "rich kids crying wolf," she told the Har-vard Crimson. "There is a whole genre of schools that kind of shy away from aggressive lob-bying," Aaron observes, though not necessarily about Harvard. "We had one school who told us, 'Okay, we'll write a letter, but we'll only use plain bond paper. No stationery with our name on it." Aaron says some fear reprisals if they lobby too vigorously. "One parent called us and said she was against the cuts, but she didn't want to sign her name be-cause she's on Social Se-curity, and she's afraid her benefits will get cut off." Aaron replies that lob-bying "is perfectly legal and proper." Non-profit in-stitutions can use up to ten per cent of their bud-gets to lobby and still be within the law's boundar-ies.

"The Bethel faculty dis-played true Christian love and friendliness upon our arrival, especially after my heart attack," said Nord-quist. "At present, things are going nicely." Nordquist is both pro-fessor and performer with Mitchell S. Fromstein, president of Manpower, Inc., said, "Most of our temporary employees are working mothers who stay home during the summer months to care for their families, so we need stu-dents to take their place in offices around the country.

Nordquist has also been a guest artist on numerous college and university campuses as well as performing on both TV and radio. Having served under vice-president and dean of the college George Brushaber while at West-mont College, Nordquist's arrival at Bethel is due mainly to the "very posi-tive" influence of Brushab-er who first contacted Nord-quist about Bethel. Nordquist stated that signments vary from area to area, but are competi-tive with entry-level wages for permanent jobs. The exact wage a temporary employee will earn de-pends on the work-ready skills that person has. Manpower, Inc., is the world's largest temporary service firm, annually pro-viding employment to over 600,000 people through its more than 900 offices in 31 countries. Office services account for more than half of the jobs at which its temporary work force is engaged. teaching private piano les-sons is much more strenu-ous than the normal class-room experience. "To find the daily strength and ener-gy to be intense and inspir-ing is draining," said Nord-quist. "Howevever, the op-portunity to work with stu-dents committed to a Chris-tian education is most re-warding. The college level is an exciting age," Nord-quist continued, "because students have dreams, visions and are idealistic." Nordquist hopes to per-form at Bethel, local church-es and within the com-munity. "I want to repre-sent the college in the best way possible and make Bethel better known to the state," said Nordquist.

Zaderaka had 13 strikeouts and Dave Fauth clouted three home runs in the game to help on the offensive end. After giving up two runs in the first inning, Sullivan settled down and "Ramblin' Wreck", a team composed of Bethel students, brought home the first place trophy from the Hamline University Softball Tournament play-ed May 8 and 9 at McMur-ray Field in St. Paul.

Sullivan also had seven strikeouts to go along with his complete game. Fauth had a excellent day at the plate, going five-for- five in the doublehead-er with his three home runs, a double, and five runs batted in. Bethel's only other games of the week came on May 4 as the Royals dropped a pair of games to Augsburg, 5-3 and 9- 1. Dave Mitroff went three-for- three in the first game.

Tennis shuts out Northwestern Page 16 sports Tracksters finish fifth in conference championship meet by John Lilleberg Although Bethel was not able to send a full tennis team to state tournament, the school was well repre-sented by the team's top two players, Kathy Lee and Sarah Runion. Lee, seeded third in the num-ber one singles flight, ful-filled her seeding by reach-ing the semi-finals. In the semi-finals she lost a close three-set match to the top-seeded Gustavus player. Lee maintained, "I was happy to reach the semi-finals but it was still dis-appointing to lose." In the number-two sin-gles flight, Runion reached the quarter-finals before bowing to the top-seeded by John Clark The Bethel women's softball team concluded its season as it placed sec-ond in a four-team invita-tional tournament at Northwestern on May 8. Despite out-hitting Northwestern 11-9, the Royals went down to de-feat by a 9-5 score. The effects of playing 31 inn-ings in one day caught up with the Royals and "many costly errors" paved the way for North-western. Bethel won three out of five games and advanced to the championship game as the number-one seed after completing the round-robin portion of the tour-nament in first place. On May 7 the Royals split a doubleheader with Wisconsin-Superior, los-ing the opening contest 9- 2 and then charging back to take the second game 15-3. Bethel had 'only five Gustavus number two. In doubles, the pair was seed-ed third. They lived up to their seeding by reaching the semi-finals before los-ing, once again to Gusta-vus. Coach Paul Reasoner expressed satisfaction in the girls' effort when he said, "It's nice to take only two players and still do well in the team stand-ings." Lee's performance at the state tournament may have earned her a spot in the regional tournament tak-ing place in Iowa this week-end. When asked about Lee's chances, Coach Rea-son& replied, "Kathy has proven that she can play with anybody in the state." hits in the second game rout but combined that with 15 base-on balls to pile up the runs. Dawn Modica had the big hit for the Royals with a base-loaded triple. "Mentally we were not ready and gave the first game to them," said Coach Carol Girdler. "We came back in the second game and played ball and it was no contest." It was unfortunate the season had to end for Beth-el as the team had rounded into form after a slow start, partly due to the weather. Bethel, however, managed to close out the season with a 11-14 rec-ord. "We threw some games away, which was unfor-tunate," commented Gird-ler as she reflected on the season. "I wish the season was longer. We were just beginning to play well." This season is also Gird-ler's lagt as'a Bethel 'Oath.' was Tom Plocker's fight to third place in the 800 meters. The close race re-sulted in a 1:53.3 personal record for Plocker. A PR was also set by Jay Van- Loon in that event at 1:54.57. Dave Jorgenson ran a 49.5 PR for fourth place in the open 400 meters. The 440 relay team of Mike Dirks, Engebretsen, by John Lilleberg The men's tennis team concluded its season with a 9-0 shutout of North-western. The win gave the Royals a 10-9 overall rec-ord. This is the team's first winning season since join-ing the conference in 1978. Coach Mark Norlander described the win as "a nice way to end the sea-son." Winning in singles for the Royals were Kirk Smith, John Lilleberg, Mark Reasoner, Jim Grif-by Richard Whybrew Personal records and strong performances by only 12 competitors led the Bethel women's track team to a fourth-place fin-ish at the ten-team MIAC conference meet at Macal-ester Saturday, May 8. St. Thomas won the meet, fol-lowed by Concordia and St. Olaf. Leading the strong indi-vidual performances were those of Wendy Norberg and Sara- Barker. Norberg Dave Bradley and Barry Jass captured sixth place. The previously unbeaten mile relay of Dirks, Plock-er, Jorgenson, and Don Hauser finished up the day by demolishing_ their previous best and finish-ing a close second behind Hamline, after leading the first three laps. Each man's split time was his best of the season as they fin, Dave McIver and Tim Magnuson. Winning in doubles were McIver-Mag-nuson, Reasoner-Todd Johnson and Barry Smith- Mark Stewart. Although the score ap-pears one-sided, the meet featured a number of close matches. Most notable among these came at first and second-doubles, where McIver-Magnuson and Rea-soner- Johnson pulled out hard-earned victories. This meet was the last college contest for five finished first in the 10- kilometer run in qualify-ing for nationals, and fin-ished third in the 3000- meter run. She ran per-sonal best times for both races: 36:40:82 in the 10 kilometers which broke the qualifying standard for nationals by nearly two minutes, and 10:28.43 in the 3000 meters. Barker joined Norberg as Bethel's only other indi-vidual conference cham-pion by throwing the dis-cus 131'3 1/2". Kathy Kvam finished ran 49.7, 49.7, 49.6, and 50.0 respectively to clock a 3:19.16 Bethel record. Coaches Dave Ander-son and Steve Whittaker were very pleased with the team's results;. They were shooting for fifth place as a team and they accomplished that goal. The only disappointment was in Dirk's disqualifica-tions due to stepping out Royal seniors: Smith, Lil-leberg, Reasoner, McIver and Magnuson. A sixth, Randy Englund, ended his collegiate career last week-end at.the conference meet. According to Coach Nor-lander, "The loss of the seniors leaves some big gaps to fill." The meet also marked Norlander's last meet as coach of the Royals. He maintained that, "This was my most satisfying season," and added, "It's nice to go out with a win-ning record." third in the shotput with a personal best throw of 39'3 1/2" and fifth in the jave-lin with a personal best of 106'1 1/2". One place ahead of her in the javelin was teammate Sheila Kroon at 108'91/2". Danette Burgess finish-ed fourth in the 100-meter dash and eighth in the 200 meters, while the 1600- meter relay team of Laurie Staurseth, Jane Albright, Kim Laird, and Chris Le- Vesseur rounded out the day by finishing sixth with a time, of 4:28,55, of his lane in the 400 meters. Said Whittaker, "Nearly everyone set PRs on Friday and reset them again on Saturday. It was our best meet by far." This was also the last meet of the year for most of the men. Some will com-pete again tomorrow (May 15) at the U of M in the "Meet of Champions" as a last-chance attempt at the national qualifying standards. Golfers play district 13 championship by Wendy Norberg The Hazeltine National Golf Course in Chaska, Minnesota has hosted some elite assemblies in its history. In 1970 it was the sight of the U.S. Open Tournament and in 1975 U.S. Women's Open was played on the difficult and challenging course. This year it was the sight of the NAIA District 13 Championship, in which the Bethel five-some finished eleventh out of thirteen teams. The University of Min-nesota- Duluth won the tourney and Dan Mozzetti of Bemidji State was the individual gold-medalist with a score of 154 for two rounds of play. Five men competed for the Royals. Keith Substad shot 84 and 83 for a 167 total score. Captain Tra-vis Kimmel totalled 168, followed by Curt Nettle-ton with 170, Steve John-son, 181, and Toby Wilson with a score of 182. Coach George Henry felt the outcome of the tourney was disappoint-ing for the team but add-ed, "None of the scores were particularly good because of the toughness of the course." oops...

Transcript | 14 May 1982 the Clarion. Vol. 57 No. 29 Bethel College, 3900 Bethel Dr., St. Paul, MN Art department bears fruit 1982 All SchaDI 3avigmet Pragravvi Banquet eases down yellow brick road by Jan E. Johnson On Monday, May 10, Ken Steinbach was awarded a $250 scholarship during the annual Raspberry Monday art exhibition at the Bethel Gallery. "The name of the award came from an incident that happened to the do-nors, who want to remain anonymous, on a Monday while picking raspberries; hence, 'Raspberry Mon-day,' " said George Robin-son, professor of art. "When we first received the award 10 years ago, it was the first such award that the ' art department had ever received, so we decided to have an art ex-hibition to publicize the award. But I'd like to em-phasize the fact that the winner of the award is not the winner of the exhibi-tion. It's not a contest, but strictly a student exhibi-tion to publicize the Rasp-berry Monday award." Each year the faculty of the art department selects a student who is not only outstanding in art, but has also contributed to the art department and to Bethel in terms of leadership and participation. The winner is usually a junior or sen-ior and the $250 is used towards tuition. Bethel's All School Ban-quet, Saturday, May 15, will host the theme "The Wizard of Us." Dinner will be served in the gym (the Emerald Ci-ty), the Coffee Shop (Munchkin Land) and the by JoAnn Watkins Bethel College will not house students at Bright-on Village next year, ac-cording to Rodney Long, director of housing. More seniors and juniors were housed than expected but because of the low num-ber of sophomores apply-ing for Bethel housing the 19 apartments at Brighton Village will not be used. Long said that not all of those apartments had been assigned and that stu-dents are being given the option of moving to Sil-vercrest. "We didn't want to do it but it is not good stewardship to rent very expensive housing and have other housing emp-ty," said Long. It causes an increase in the students' expenses. Long said the decision is uncertain at this point as to if a bus will run to Brighton Vil-lage. Because there are still Cafeteria (the Castle Dun-geon.) Live entertainment will be provided during dinner in all three areas, featur-ing: Charlene McKinnis, Sherwood's mom; Mrs. James Johnson, Nancy's mom; and Rick Drake, openings in off-campus housing, round #3 has been extended for contin-uing students. Long has lifted the quota limits for each class of students. "I'm assuming we've met 100 per cent of the senior's needs for those who've ap-plied so far," said Long. In round #1 the senior quota was reached and ex-tended at that time. In to-tal, 197 seniors were given housing, 150 per cent of senior capacity. There was an increase in the number of seniors request-ing housing. The junior quota was reached in round #2. One-hundred seventeen juniors were Paul's son. The show "The Wizard of Us" will follow dinner and will be held in the gym. Seating will begin at 6:15 in the gym and 6:45 in the Coffee Shop and Cafe-teria. housed. Requests for hous-ing from sophomores were down from what was ex-pected based on the past. Four-hundred twenty re-ceiving housing, only 85 per cent of projected need. Long said he feels the application procedure went well. Almost 700 ap-plied in the first round. Long said that there are approximately 30 over-loads in apartments right now. These overloads in-creased the senior quota. Long speculates that the decrease in sophomore ap-plications may be due to rate increases, financial aid uncertainties or to summer job uncertainties. Ken "We're not real sure how it's going to turn out, we're just sort of winging it," said John Tarula, instruc-tor in the art department, in reference to yesterday's Artichoke Thursday. A continuation of Raspberry Monday, Artichoke Thurs-day first came about when Tarula was driving past a town in California which claimed to be the arti-choke capital of the world. "Well, there's the 'art' in 'artichoke,' and artichokes are kind of eccentric vege-tables, so it's kind of a chance for everyone to be eccentric in the court-yard," Tarula said. "Be-sides, it's the day before the last day of classes, so it's also kind of a celebra-tion." Several cases of arti-chokes were shipped in to be served with butter sauce for the enjoyment of the entire students body. The Bethel Jazz Band was slated to appear, and there were plans for door prizes.

But it is also a time of beginnings. As the graduates leave Bethel and move on to new tasks, returning students, too, are beginning new tasks for the summer and the coming school year. New beginnings are often attacked with ambition and idealism. To an extent that is great—every organi-zation needs new ideas, fresh approaches and the excitement students can bring in. But in the excitement of a new task, it is easy to lose sight of ground work done by predecessors and of the long-term goals. This is particularly true in the college setting where there are new leaders every year. So a few recommendations for new student leaders: Remember, many people have been here before you doing what they thought was best for the students at the time, and there will be many to follow after you, too. So be far-sighted and sensitive to the whole school's needs. The students and administrators should have some input. They have good ideas; listen to them. God bless all of you as you start new tasks. letters Tanquist withholds 50% as 'conscience deduction' Dear Editor: I've never been aesthet-ically impressed with Bethel's boxy structures (functionally, however, they're great) until I open-ed this week's Clarion: Don Copeland's center-spread makes what once seemed Bethel bland more like Marcel Breuer's time-less arches at St. John's or I.M. Pei's daring angles at the National Gallery of Art or the ordered geomet-rics of De Stijl. Don proves the point that it all de-pends on how you look at it—and he has a very good eye. Florence Johnson Internal Revenue Service Peace be unto you: I have decided after much thought and prayer to withhold a portion of my federal income tax for reasons of conscientious objection to war. I have chosen not to pay 50 per cent of the tax due to my government and will in-stead give it to peace-seek-ing and life-affirming or-ganizations. I believe that the United States' preparation for nu-clear war and a first strike capability poses the great-est threat to the survival of the human race and life on this planet. It is the greatest evil we are called to support. My religious beliefs and conscience di-rect me to continue my objection to this rush to-ward destruction in refus-ing to contribute to it. The past two years I have con-sciously lived beneath the taxable limit to avoid con-tributing to this madness. A further factor in my refusal of the war portion of the federal income tax is the multitude of human needs which go unmet be-cause the military gets the bulk of the budget money. This is evident in 'Presi-dent Reagan's proposed budget and cutbacks di-rectly hurting and depriv-ing the poor, the elderly and those in school while blatantly enhancing and strengthening the military and escalating the nuclear arms buildup. Through-out my city and the entire country this is apparent in the housing crisis and ram-pant unemployment; many are lacking basic necessities. People are starving around the world but the United States sells and gives their govern-ment weapons. The final meeting of the Student Senate was held in the Upsala Room at a dinner banquet on May 10. The ceremonies in-cluded the giving of awards, both serious and humorous, and reviewing the budgets of Senate-funded organizations. Steve Goodwin report-ed that combination locks on the PO boxes would be put on this summer. Each member of the executive committee gave either an oral or written report ex-pressing his/her reactions to the past year in Senate. The Senate also approved a bill giving $50 to the Jogathon sponsored by the soccer team. The Senate Leadership Award went to Jane Stoner for the hard work and enthusiasm she has given. The Public Action Committee received the I realize the life support-ing services my govern-ment performs and appre-ciate them. I am also aware of the possible con-sequences of my war tax resistance. It is not an easy decision to disobey a law despite the fact that this peaceful disobedience is an obligation of my con-science. For the reasons I have Outstanding Senate Com-mittee Award for the work and effort given to summarized here I have chosen to withhold pay-ment of 50 per cent of my taxes owed by claiming a conscience deduction ap-plicable to my 1981 taxes. I hope and pray this action will help reverse our pre-sent policy of trusting in the Pentagon and.nuclear warheads for our safety.

(CCN)—Cov-enant College plans to bring every student to "a satisfactory level of corn-puter literacy before grad-uation," reports Covenant Courier, a college publica-tion. "This will soon be an important step in being able to work in any area of society," says Dr. Charles Donaldson, director of plan-ning and enrollment devel-opment. "If you think corn-puters are in wide use now, just wait and see what happens in the next few years." Beginning next fall, stu-dents at Covenant will be able to take computer science as a major in prep-aration for careers in bus-iness, data processing, scientific computing, data analysis, or graduate study in computer science. Or, computer science can be taken as a minor along with a major in such areas as business administra-tion, accounting, pre-engin-eering— or even Bible or English, the college publi-cation notes. "A compelling reason for the decision to add the computer science pro-gram," Dr. Donaldson ex-plains, "was the need to address the many challeng-ing issues related to the computer revolution with-in the context of a Chris-tian liberal arts education. "In addition to master-ing computing skills and applications, the purpose, motivation and theory of computer science will be explored. Students will be presented strategies for re-lating technology and one's Christian faith and world view," he adds. Dr. Douglas Sizemore, who has been teaching com-puter science classes and statistics at Covenant the past eight years, will direct the program and teach sev-eral courses in the new major. "I am excited about this program and the possibili-ties it will open up," he says. "In addition to pre-paring students for various business and computer ca-reers, we will be working on important applications for the local church and para-church organizations. "Existing programs at Covenant will be augment-ed by the on-campus corn-puter program," he notes. "An increasing number of disciplines now require competence in computer science." Last December, Coven-ant College was advised that a $220,000 grant is being awarded to the col-lege by an anonymous do-nor to fund the new pro-gram of studies in informa-tion and computer science. by Kraig,Klaudt After four years, I still cannot- decide whether my stay in the Kingdom of Bethel deserves a Psalm or a Lamentation. Yes, there was lifestyle, liberty and the pursuit of preppiness. However, there was also the frustration of moving among individuals and institutions who bore the name of a Savior they sometimes scarcely resem-bled. While I have never regretted attending this school (and you can quote me in the admissions catalogue as saying so), I do have a few final moans and groans to make for the benefit of those left behind in this year's senior rapture. First of all, I am concerned that our college is becom-ing more an institution and less a community. I have never been a fan of institutions. They take a strangle-hold on human life through unflexible policies, crystalized budgets, sterile syllabi and codified charity. Locks welded on PO box doors and silverware-sniffing bloodhounds patrolling the cafeteria exits are only a couple indications of a community selling its birthright for the cold comfort of institutionalism. . Community, on the other hand, is a beautiful medium through which the varied instruments of God'can be given expression. It might be the spontaneous creativ-ity of a guitarist making melody in the hallway, or a professor who appreciates a student's need for flexible, nonstandard education. Or perhaps a night watchman who will make an exception when 11 p.m. rolls around. Every administrative policy, every classroom objec-tive, every opportunity for apathy has the potential of moving what we broadly term as "Bethel" a step closer to either community or institutionalism. Secondly, I am concerned for those who are opting for unauthenticity rather than humanness. Far too many students seem content to settle with grades, GPAs and consensus rather than with intellec-tual honesty and even uncertainty. Popularity is usu-ally chosen before personal conviction. Religion is too often an adequate substitute for an experience with the Savior. On May 23, I will be handed my little prize. for suc-cessfully completing a rigorous, four-year academic steeplechase. I anticipate that this event will be anti-climactic. I may stand there and mutter, "Is this what it all was for?" As is so many other areas of life, it will again become clear that the prizes are of paper and tinsel while the value is in how the race run. Looking back, I regret the evenings I played scholarly games rather than directly adding to another person's life. I regret the times I ignored my own spiritual well-being for the sake of temporal tasks and deadlines. So few things in life really matter as much as other people and Christ. Finally, I am concerned about the symbols with which Bethelites identify. Sometimes I think that the only light to come from our city on a hill originates at the twin radio towers east of the campus at night. Are we really that unique in this world with our all-steak banquets, utopian fieldhouses, chic dorm room decor and marshmellow-white recruit-ment? Are we feeding His sheep or supporting Alliga-tors and Izods? Obviously, much healing and compassion has come out of Bethel. But has it been to the degree that the poor and oppressed can testify, "Yes, they have been for us and with us"? Having done more lamenting than praising, I must apologize for not giving due credit to the many positive forces at work on the campus. Believe me, there are many. As I said before, I am glad I lived these past years at 3900 Bethel Drive. I only hope that twenty years from now, when I identify myself as a graduate of Bethel College, I will be able to say the same more enthusias-tically.

Patience truly is a vir-tue, and the rewards well worth the inconvenience. So anxious in the begin-ning, now I am just as anx-ious but I know more fully that Christ has everything in control and that when I trust Him, I need not wor-ry.

Thank you for being a place in which I could grow up! Crystal Engel Synopsis of college career Dear Editor: 1. What I have learned: I have learned to ask good questions. 2. What I want to be (now that I am grown up?): I want to be a cowboy, a super-hero, or a gasoline station attendant. Bethel has been my place to experience what can be summed up as "life" — what makes it worthwhile and why I am even here. I grew and learned, and Beth-el facilitated my steps and provided the means for my "life project," otherwise known as a college educa-tion. Who's to thank? People, some I don't even know. People who help build this place, and breathe into it ,brave aspirations which we as students may lay hold of. Especially the teachers, who are so good at bringing out of us things we never knew were there; the amazing profs who listen and care, and who willingly read papers stained with coffee, writ-ten the night before. Now I'm preparing to leave this place into who-knows- what and I am ready. I've been filled with things for four years now, and it's coming time to test and sharpen them. Bethel has prepared me and I have prepared me; and although there is always some sad-ness when a part of your life closes, there is also an excitement for life and a desire for what lies be-yond. And with God's help, we'll all lay hold of it. Thank you, Bethel for your computerized room-mate selection. This has given me some of the best friends I'll ever have. Thank you, custodians and caretakers, for attempt-ing to maintain Bethel's beauty. I look forward to your spring clean-up every year. Thank you, "profs" who took the time to get to know my name... and me, not just my PO or ID num-ber. Thank. you to the stu-dents at Silvercrest 2060 (Jake, too) for letting me get to know you while I have been privileged to be your AD.

Sincerely yours, Thanks, Scott Lastine Judy Hougen Chapman makes final comment about Lifestyle Statement Dear Editor: Seeing as this is the last issue of the Clarion for the year and my last chance to write, I thought I'd con-tribute to the ongoing dis-cussion of the lifestyle, something I've planned to do for months now. The lifestyle is not com-patible with the idea of a liberal arts college educa-tion. Essential to a liberal arts education is a great deal of self-development and exploration. It is a time when a student can really establish/discover the meaning or lack of it behind his or her different beliefs. A behavioral life-style puts limits on its exploring process. Beyond the norms it sets down, it also often pro-jects or is the cause of cer-tain attitudes. A student does not always feel free to question his/her beliefs in an atmosphere like Beth-el's. This questioning is crucial to the building of a strong spiritual and phil-osophical base. When be-liefs are left unquestioned, they only come into doubt later at times of testing. I often do not feel comfor-table to share my doubts, spiritual and other, with others at Bethel. Instead of being a forum for dis-cussion the institution on-ly serves to enhance re-viewal of certain kosher topics. Right/wrogg dicho-tomies are encouraged in situations where they do not belong. The lifestyle also dis-torts Christianity by em-phasizing the exterior in-stead of the interior of a person's actions and atti-tudes. By saying the life-style is what makes Bethel distinctive, we reflect a Christianity far from what Jesus called it to be. He attacked all forms of legal-ism. Referring to the Pha-risees he said, "These peo-ple honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They wor-shi p me in vain: their teach-ings are but rules taught by men... Nothing outside a man can make him 'un-clean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean,"' (Mark 7:6b- 7,15). Paul also follows along these lines. In Romans 14, after considering the ques-tion of unclean food and those of weak and strong faith, he writes, "So what-ever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." (14:22) Also in Colossians • he writes, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival... Such regula-tions indeed have an ap-pearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed wor-ship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence." (Col.- 2:16,23) Read Mark 12:28- 34 and find what is truly important. Bethel has become for me a place of restriction rather than of freedom. Not that the number of actual restrictions are so great, it is more just a feeling, just the atmosphere. There have been many things I've deeply appreciated in my four years at Bethel: the different opportunities to learn and widen my hori-zons, good friends, many good professors (to whom I'm very grateful, though I did not not always express this to them, and more. One thing, though, that I will not mind leaving be-hind will be the lifestyle code. Often I've wondered (and others too) what Bethel could be if what made it distinctive was its Christian liberal arts edu-cation combined with free-dom from a lifestyle code. Sincerely Mark B.

Jerry Manus by Marty Mallory Melody Karkiin Mark Chapman by Wendi Engel page 6 I trek along a stone-fenced lane, My thirst slows down my pace. Turning aside from the well-worn road To a path winding around the stile, I come upon a childhood haunt Secluded by poplar trees. The old tin cup dangles from a hook, Overhanging a spring that bursts From beds of rock where eons sleep. A rusted pail peeks out Between the dew-hemmed grass. I stoop to drink of water That bites of fall. And catch a toad in silence, Like me, bathing in morning song. The House A drive along a narrow, deserted road will inevitably guide you to it. The once stately mansion occupies a sunken hollow. Weatherbeaten trees accompanied by overwhelming weeks embrace the deterioration. A broken, stony path that curls from the road to the house is obscured by gnarling sage that caroms across the grounds. A deteriorating picket fence stands as a sentinel guarding the external world from the cold, lonely terror that seeps from the bosom of the house. As the gate withdraws to foot steps, a lonely hinge wails its revenge as the gate drops to the ground. Dangling branches grasp for the moonlight as you walk down the path. The ominous house looms mysteriously before you. From the dilapidated porch a swing hangs from a solitary frayed rope. The dark windows, like sunken black eyes glare unblinkingly through worm-eated frames, and splintered siding. A feeling of disquietness engulfs you as you turn to leave. Is it something to fear or to pity? The huge and ancient stone For centuries it lay Poised at the summit. Through all of the thousands of tiny fissures and cracks The minutest lichens and mosses clung Each sending its own microscopic hairs into the hard stone. Tiny roots of destruction Year upon year Time without end Then, at last The foundation falters Every tremor of earth is felt As the stone loosens its hold On the summit possessed so long The great stone falling Splintering on the smaller rocks below Rocks which had once been as this stone was— All toppled by time. Morning Sojourn In early morning sojourn I breathe deep the autumn air. It is crisp in September, When mornings are fall; Past noon, it turns to summer.

Steven Lemon by Rod Thannum page 9 My Chippewa friend rests in his battered canoe. His eyes look out from a face lined by sixty hard years. I sit crosslegged on the aging dock. The planks beneath me are smooth and bleached almost white by the suns and snows of many seasons. We are watching an October sun sink behind the spruce trees on the distant shore. An orange glow builds slowly in the western sky. It creeps across the silent lake and emblazons each stem of wild rice. The glow flows around us, past us, to the shore where it warms the whiteness of the birches and burnishes a million golden leaves. I watch Fred's eyes move, from the sky, to the lake, to the woods, to me. The lines of his face deepen to give the hint of a smile, and I know that we share a glow of our own, seeping through us, generating its own warmth of inner peace. We listen; and hear the silence, a silence accentuated by one soft clunk of a paddle shifting on the gunwales. We listen and hear the sigh of Toolies brushing the canoe. Then slowly I sense a far off sound. It is like a thousand muted wind chimes, or perhaps, the muffled chuckles of a hundred bubbling brooks. I sit listening, wondering if it's real. "That's Mudhens," he says. His answering of my unspoken question startles, but does not surprise me. It seems quite normal, for I have returned to another world. The tensions of my technological life have drained away. I am experiencing again the reality that I am my village and my village is me. I am a part of the cliffs and forests, and they are a part of me. My brother and I are one. We are hearing each other—soul to soul. Co nunicc fan Roy Willbee Desertion and the Draft During Wartime They I am a mass of people. I am a label machine. I'm the strange majority We all know as "they". I can squeeze an individual Into my common mold, Until he's finally labeled And shaped just like the crowd. I'm the mold that no one fits, Yet anyone can join. Just cancel your uniqueness, And be a groupie too. I'm the unseen pressure, My power can't be denied. I love to watch you all pretend To be someone you're not. I'll give you my security But for it you must pay; Just give me your identity And I'll make you like the rest.

If he said "yes," I shot him anyway. Wendy Verthein A soul, a person is in need. I sit while a man comes to trial. He stands, head hung low and begins to speak. As I listened, my heart was moved. Not from his speech but in his voice, his sorrow, his loneliness. "I don't belong here, I don't belong anywhere," he told me. "I need a friend. For am I a fool to be led here or am I just a fool?" he questioned. "I just want a friend, that's all." Our hearts cried together. Yet, when I reached to comfort him, he was gone... W.M. Perhaps one day you will remember inside some swiftly moving thought a day, no, just a moment - one small and transient moment When you and I joined minds - and then our hearts. And perhaps, too, in that remembrance There will be a smile and perhaps a tear from the laughter and maybe, just maybe the fear that it all has been forgotten But it's not. Katherine Juul Something Special page 10 The Brec king of c Sc Int —Judi Niemi by Bob Walatka I paused in church one morning to look at the statue. The woman of plaster was very still, as if to keep her veil from slipping off. She held pink roses. More roses were scattered on the ground where she knelt. Her head was tilted slightly as she prayed. She would not look at me, but gazed at the choir loft. It was not right for her to avoid my eyes. St. Theresa, the Little Flower, and I were old friends. As a child, I imagined her beside me constantly. She had been my companion. She was in almost any Catholic church, always praying for me while she held roses. Now she would not look at me. So I stopped to remember what it was like. I stopped to remember the day I said goodbye to St. Theresa, the day we both changed. The wind had twisted the skirt between my legs as I walked. Paris was bright that day and the sunlight made dead leaves glow as they skidded across the stones. The square was studded with colorful people and lost tourists. But the dark, gray building looming over their heads held my attention. Great stones encircled the delicate rose windows. Ancient saints guarded the wood doors and iron rings. My walk slowed down. Notre Dame stood before me. It was not just another cathedral to tour. It was not just another old church with much history to be learned and remembered with photographs. A Catholic church knew me as her child. Her stones, saints and smells were familiar. I knew Notre Dame though I had never entered there; I knew her soul. It had been many months since I had been in a familiar place. But here I even had a dear friend waiting inside. As I walked through the great doors, I could not have felt more welcome than N the saints of stone had cracked a smile. I went inside leaving the wind to stir leaves and dust at the feet of St. Benedict. When the doors closed, cool, moist air soothed my back. The clank of the door seeped into the air and mingled with the mumblings of the Mass. The sound moved down the aged corridors and melted into the black air. I made my way down the side corridor, passing by the stone images grafted onto the walls. I remember the candles. Before each statue were rows of tall, white candles, dripping, leaning and burning. The smoke prepared a haze which suspended the light. Some light slipped to the floor revealing names, dates and remorse engraved in stone. I went past each glowing statue, looking for the familiar eyes. I needed to see Theresa that day to tell her. A large array of candles spread a glowing carpet before the statue. I took a few steps to see the figure which quivered in the reflected light. The sweet face of Theresa turned to me. She paused from her prayer to smile and offer me the rose she held. Hundreds of candles warmed my face as I drew closer. Theresa watched as I dropped a coin into the metal box. The light reflected in her eyes as the flame eased from one candle to mine. I knelt as the candles softly dripped. Theresa and I prayed in silence for a time. We paused, as old friends do when there is no need to speak. After a moment, my words began. I told her I loved her, but did not need her any more. I had found the great King Himself. I wanted to thank her for her prayers. And I knew she still loved me. Even though I knew she would understand, my words seemed harsh in that quiet place. I felt strange in her shadow. My eyes felt hot, though tears tried to soothe them. As I looked at Theresa, she began to stiffen. The rose receeded back into her hand. She resumed her prayer with a slightly tilted head. The blush in her face grew cold. And her eyes did not meet mine. The only movement was a drop of water which stroked her cheek. I turned from the candles and walked away. I passed little children helping old women to kneel. Bent heads did not stir while wax dripped to the floor. The holy water at the door was cold to my touch. I felt the dark mumblings and walked into the crowded square. The wind sealed the door shut behind me. And now I stood before St. Theresa again. I did not light a candle. I did not kneel or cry. I watched as she prayed to the choir loft. She was still and quiet as stone. The solidified veil hid part of her face, but it could not hide her faint smile. Theresa never carried a grudge for long. I smiled and walked out. A Gift of Love More than the sparrows is mine, from the source of love abounding in all existence, proclaiming power and dominion over all. Early morn draws a sigh mixed with complaint at the arrival of yet another day. And outside my window, the sparrows' delicate jubilee rings clear through the cold, December air.

Copeland by Brad Nelson page 12 by Teri Sens-ion When I Looked on the Apple Tree God I looked on the apple tree again today; but God this time I didn't walk by. The apple looked so perfect. I had to pause if only to gaze at firm rich redness. Beauty tasted sweet, ripeness begging to share fullness and joy. God I planned to obey; I knew I shouldn't stay but redness filled my nostrils, teasing my eye. Flesh crisped in my mouth; juice dripped down my chin. Behind my mind I knew I shouldn't eat but reason disappeared through doors closed by delight. God I bit that apple, enjoyed my senses. Sweet taste concealed the worm bitten in half shouting my mistake. I knew before and after it was wrong. But God my tongue denies sweet is bitter, my eyes, beauty is dark. Convince my nostrils of freshness' putrid stench. Apples taste so good, daily reminders of our disobedience-and your love. God help me live naked before you, walk in your way. And God please take away the apple trees. The Mime Hushed audience with slitted eyes all squint to see dim lights illuminate the white and painted mask set on a face of flint. The lights go up.

E 481-0162 Page 14 Science Museum exhibits Hmong, Yao art The extraordinary em-broidery, batik and ap-plique of the mountain peo-ple of Laos are featured in "Hmong and Yao: Folk Art Survival", an exhibit open-ing April 24 at The Science Museum of Minnesota. These examples of an indigenous textile art form dating back some 5,000 years have been brought together by American pho-tojournalist Jane Hamil-ton- Merritt, wild was nom-inated for a Pulitzer Prize for her front-line coverage of the Vietnam war, and who holds a Ph.D. in South-east Asian Studies. Includ-ed are pieces at least a cen-tury old, although many have been recently made in refugee camps of Thai-land, where thousands of Hmong and Yao refugees have fled. Working entirely free-hand, tribal women creat-ed these pieces in such highly individualistic styl-ization that no two are alike. The garments which their work adorns were everyday wear for field work and baby tending. Embroidered caps, baby carriers, jackets, trousers, and skirts appear along-side Dr. Hamilton-Mer-ritt's color photographs of men and women in tradi-tional dress. Represented are works of the Blue Hmong, the White Hmong and the Yao. The exhibit includes non-traditional wall hang-ings adorned by tradition-al motifs. Flat decorative pieces are popular in Amer-ica, where thousands of Hmong refugees have re-settled. The Minneapolis- St. Paul area has the larg-est concentration of such refugees in the United States, between 10,000 and 15,000. Members of the Hmong and Yao community are invited to the exhibit as guests of the museum on opening day, April 24. Spe-cial performances of tra-ditional music and textile demonstrations will be held that day. According to Hamilton- Merritt, the ancient culture of the Hmong and Yao is now in considerable jeo-pardy. Claiming that Viet-namese and Pathet Lao forces in Laos are deploy-ing deadly chemicals against these former Viet-nam war allies of the Uni-ted States, she testified before CongreSs on their survival. The exhibit in-cludes Hamilton-Merritt's black-and-white photo-graphs of Laotian refugees in the camps of Thailand. A companion exhibit or-ganized by The Science Museum of Minnesota will present a photo essay on the local Hmong commun-ity. This exhibit of photo-graphs from the St. Paul Dispatch/Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis Star/- Tribune vividly records the experiences of Hmong refugees in the Twin Cit-ies. Also included is a sev-en- minute video presenta-tion on Hmong music and textile arts in the area. During the exhibit's stay, local Hmong artists will give demonstrations of needlework, music, food preparation, and jewelry-making. The Science Mu-seum's theatre company will offet the play "Asian Tales", a presentation of Chinese, Hmong and Jap-anese folktales with tradi-tional music, dance, and costume. Textiles made by members of the local Hmong community will be on sale in the museum's Explore Store. The exhibit will be at the museum through July 25, 1982. Exhibit hours are 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Ad-mission to the exhibits is $3 for adults, $2 for senior citizens and children 12 and under.

(CPS)—"Where last year there was protest, this year there's a roar," says an aide to Rep. Peter Peyser (D-NY). He was reflecting in the aftermath of the influx of some 7000 college students into Washington on March 1 to corner representatives, and senators about the $1.9 billion President Reagan wants cuts from federal student aid programs. The rally—dubbed Na-tional Student Action Day by its sponsors—seems to be just the tip of a vast nationwide response to the proposed cuts. As many as 75 percent of the na-tion's colleges may be par- • ticipating in the fight against the cuts, accord-ing to one estimate. In contrast to the 1000 students who showed up to lobby last year, 7000 lobbied this year. Two days after that, 250 Pennsylvania students re-turned to lobby some more. A Tufts law professor has organized a national phone-a-thon by students in Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, Nebraska, Califor-nia and Maine, among other states. A similar cam-paign is planned for New York. Student governments and financial aid officers have staged letter-writing campaigns at UCLA, South-ern Cal, Colorado State, Marquette, Iowa, North-western, Penn State, and Northeastern, among many others. There have also been freelance efforts. University of New Mex-ico President Dr. William Davis, for example, recent-ly wrote the members of his congressionally delega-tion a letter containing thumbnail sketches of 11 UNM students who would have to leave school if the cuts were approved. Northern Michigan Pres-ident John Jamrich sent letters to parents to alert them to the effects of more state and federal budget cuts. At the University of Michigan, President Har-old Shapiro organized a meeting of 40 Michigan campus presidents, who in turn issued a resolution condemning the cuts. The appeals to parents, letter-writing campaigns, the phone calls to alumni and other activities extend to "perhaps 70 to 75 per-cent of the nation's cam-puses, Aaron estimates. The messages are usual-ly the same. University of . California system Presi-dent David Saxon predicts the cuts would have a "cat-astrophic effect" on col-leges. Yale President A. Bartlett Giamatti foresees "devastation." As many as five million students would be affect-ed by the cuts during the 1983-84 academic year, with as many as 1.5 mil-lion being forced from school, the ACE predicts. There is some indication all the uproar is working. Even conservative Repub-licands like John Ashbrook of Ohio and Alphone D'Amato of New York now pledge to vote against the cuts. Americans for Democra-tic Action Youth Caucus Director Charlie King warns students will active-ly work against "those can-didates who favor the Rea-gan budget cuts in higher education" in the fall. Progressive Student Net-work organizer David Sapp sees the protest as nothing less than "a new vision for a nation that will not use financial aid funds for war iri El Salva-dor." Some cut opponents pre-fer to work more quietly. Harvard financial aid Dir-ector Martha Lyman shunned participating in the Washington rally in favor of working through the traditional college lob-bying groups. - She wanted to avoid the image of "rich kids crying wolf," she told the Har-vard Crimson. "There is a whole genre of schools that kind of shy away from aggressive lob-bying," Aaron observes, though not necessarily about Harvard. "We had one school who told us, 'Okay, we'll write a letter, but we'll only use plain bond paper. No stationery with our name on it." Aaron says some fear reprisals if they lobby too vigorously. "One parent called us and said she was against the cuts, but she didn't want to sign her name be-cause she's on Social Se-curity, and she's afraid her benefits will get cut off." Aaron replies that lob-bying "is perfectly legal and proper." Non-profit in-stitutions can use up to ten per cent of their bud-gets to lobby and still be within the law's boundar-ies.

"The Bethel faculty dis-played true Christian love and friendliness upon our arrival, especially after my heart attack," said Nord-quist. "At present, things are going nicely." Nordquist is both pro-fessor and performer with Mitchell S. Fromstein, president of Manpower, Inc., said, "Most of our temporary employees are working mothers who stay home during the summer months to care for their families, so we need stu-dents to take their place in offices around the country. Students who have typed their own term papers may have the basic require-ments for simple office as-signments. They earn mon-ey for the next school year while making business con-tacts for jobs following graduation." Wages for temporary as-extensive experience (over 500 concerts) as a piano soloist. Nordquist has also been a guest artist on numerous college and university campuses as well as performing on both TV and radio. Having served under vice-president and dean of the college George Brushaber while at West-mont College, Nordquist's arrival at Bethel is due mainly to the "very posi-tive" influence of Brushab-er who first contacted Nord-quist about Bethel. Nordquist stated that signments vary from area to area, but are competi-tive with entry-level wages for permanent jobs. The exact wage a temporary employee will earn de-pends on the work-ready skills that person has. Manpower, Inc., is the world's largest temporary service firm, annually pro-viding employment to over 600,000 people through its more than 900 offices in 31 countries. Office services account for more than half of the jobs at which its temporary work force is engaged. teaching private piano les-sons is much more strenu-ous than the normal class-room experience. "To find the daily strength and ener-gy to be intense and inspir-ing is draining," said Nord-quist. "Howevever, the op-portunity to work with stu-dents committed to a Chris-tian education is most re-warding. The college level is an exciting age," Nord-quist continued, "because students have dreams, visions and are idealistic." Nordquist hopes to per-form at Bethel, local church-es and within the com-munity. "I want to repre-sent the college in the best way possible and make Bethel better known to the state," said Nordquist.

The Royals took the first game 11 - 5, pulling ahead of the Scots by scor-ing six runs in the fourth inning. Zaderaka had 13 strikeouts and Dave Fauth clouted three home runs in the game to help on the offensive end. After giving up two runs in the first inning, Sullivan settled down and "Ramblin' Wreck", a team composed of Bethel students, brought home the first place trophy from the Hamline University Softball Tournament play-ed May 8 and 9 at McMur-ray Field in St. Paul. The "Wreck" defeated the "Time Out Lounge" of forming as a solo pianist and duo pianist with his wife, Carolyn, Nordquist also plays racquetball, col-lects coins and enjoys black soul music, jazz and pop music.

Bethel's only other games of the week came on May 4 as the Royals dropped a pair of games to Augsburg, 5-3 and 9- 1. Dave Mitroff went three-for- three in the first game.

Tennis shuts out Northwestern Page 16 sports Tracksters finish fifth in conference championship meet by John Lilleberg Although Bethel was not able to send a full tennis team to state tournament, the school was well repre-sented by the team's top two players, Kathy Lee and Sarah Runion. Lee, seeded third in the num-ber one singles flight, ful-filled her seeding by reach-ing the semi-finals. In the semi-finals she lost a close three-set match to the top-seeded Gustavus player. Lee maintained, "I was happy to reach the semi-finals but it was still dis-appointing to lose." In the number-two sin-gles flight, Runion reached the quarter-finals before bowing to the top-seeded by John Clark The Bethel women's softball team concluded its season as it placed sec-ond in a four-team invita-tional tournament at Northwestern on May 8. Despite out-hitting Northwestern 11-9, the Royals went down to de-feat by a 9-5 score. The effects of playing 31 inn-ings in one day caught up with the Royals and "many costly errors" paved the way for North-western. Bethel won three out of five games and advanced to the championship game as the number-one seed after completing the round-robin portion of the tour-nament in first place. On May 7 the Royals split a doubleheader with Wisconsin-Superior, los-ing the opening contest 9- 2 and then charging back to take the second game 15-3. Bethel had 'only five Gustavus number two. In doubles, the pair was seed-ed third. They lived up to their seeding by reaching the semi-finals before los-ing, once again to Gusta-vus. Coach Paul Reasoner expressed satisfaction in the girls' effort when he said, "It's nice to take only two players and still do well in the team stand-ings." Lee's performance at the state tournament may have earned her a spot in the regional tournament tak-ing place in Iowa this week-end. When asked about Lee's chances, Coach Rea-son& replied, "Kathy has proven that she can play with anybody in the state." hits in the second game rout but combined that with 15 base-on balls to pile up the runs. Dawn Modica had the big hit for the Royals with a base-loaded triple. "Mentally we were not ready and gave the first game to them," said Coach Carol Girdler. "We came back in the second game and played ball and it was no contest." It was unfortunate the season had to end for Beth-el as the team had rounded into form after a slow start, partly due to the weather. Bethel, however, managed to close out the season with a 11-14 rec-ord. "We threw some games away, which was unfor-tunate," commented Gird-ler as she reflected on the season. "I wish the season was longer. We were just beginning to play well." This season is also Gird-ler's lagt as'a Bethel 'Oath.' was Tom Plocker's fight to third place in the 800 meters. The close race re-sulted in a 1:53.3 personal record for Plocker. A PR was also set by Jay Van- Loon in that event at 1:54.57. Dave Jorgenson ran a 49.5 PR for fourth place in the open 400 meters. The 440 relay team of Mike Dirks, Engebretsen, by John Lilleberg The men's tennis team concluded its season with a 9-0 shutout of North-western. The win gave the Royals a 10-9 overall rec-ord. This is the team's first winning season since join-ing the conference in 1978. Coach Mark Norlander described the win as "a nice way to end the sea-son."

St. Thomas won the meet, fol-lowed by Concordia and St. Olaf. Leading the strong indi-vidual performances were those of Wendy Norberg and Sara- Barker. Norberg Dave Bradley and Barry Jass captured sixth place. The previously unbeaten mile relay of Dirks, Plock-er, Jorgenson, and Don Hauser finished up the day by demolishing_ their previous best and finish-ing a close second behind Hamline, after leading the first three laps. Each man's split time was his best of the season as they fin, Dave McIver and Tim Magnuson. Winning in doubles were McIver-Mag-nuson, Reasoner-Todd Johnson and Barry Smith- Mark Stewart. Although the score ap-pears one-sided, the meet featured a number of close matches. Most notable among these came at first and second-doubles, where McIver-Magnuson and Rea-soner- Johnson pulled out hard-earned victories. This meet was the last college contest for five finished first in the 10- kilometer run in qualify-ing for nationals, and fin-ished third in the 3000- meter run. She ran per-sonal best times for both races: 36:40:82 in the 10 kilometers which broke the qualifying standard for nationals by nearly two minutes, and 10:28.43 in the 3000 meters. Barker joined Norberg as Bethel's only other indi-vidual conference cham-pion by throwing the dis-cus 131'3 1/2". Kathy Kvam finished ran 49.7, 49.7, 49.6, and 50.0 respectively to clock a 3:19.16 Bethel record. Coaches Dave Ander-son and Steve Whittaker were very pleased with the team's results;. They were shooting for fifth place as a team and they accomplished that goal. The only disappointment was in Dirk's disqualifica-tions due to stepping out Royal seniors: Smith, Lil-leberg, Reasoner, McIver and Magnuson. A sixth, Randy Englund, ended his collegiate career last week-end at.the conference meet. According to Coach Nor-lander, "The loss of the seniors leaves some big gaps to fill." The meet also marked Norlander's last meet as coach of the Royals. He maintained that, "This was my most satisfying season," and added, "It's nice to go out with a win-ning record." third in the shotput with a personal best throw of 39'3 1/2" and fifth in the jave-lin with a personal best of 106'1 1/2". One place ahead of her in the javelin was teammate Sheila Kroon at 108'91/2". Danette Burgess finish-ed fourth in the 100-meter dash and eighth in the 200 meters, while the 1600- meter relay team of Laurie Staurseth, Jane Albright, Kim Laird, and Chris Le- Vesseur rounded out the day by finishing sixth with a time, of 4:28,55, of his lane in the 400 meters. Said Whittaker, "Nearly everyone set PRs on Friday and reset them again on Saturday. It was our best meet by far." This was also the last meet of the year for most of the men. Some will com-pete again tomorrow (May 15) at the U of M in the "Meet of Champions" as a last-chance attempt at the national qualifying standards. Golfers play district 13 championship by Wendy Norberg The Hazeltine National Golf Course in Chaska, Minnesota has hosted some elite assemblies in its history. In 1970 it was the sight of the U.S. Open Tournament and in 1975 U.S. Women's Open was played on the difficult and challenging course. This year it was the sight of the NAIA District 13 Championship, in which the Bethel five-some finished eleventh out of thirteen teams. The University of Min-nesota- Duluth won the tourney and Dan Mozzetti of Bemidji State was the individual gold-medalist with a score of 154 for two rounds of play. Five men competed for the Royals. Keith Substad shot 84 and 83 for a 167 total score. Captain Tra-vis Kimmel totalled 168, followed by Curt Nettle-ton with 170, Steve John-son, 181, and Toby Wilson with a score of 182. Coach George Henry felt the outcome of the tourney was disappoint-ing for the team but add-ed, "None of the scores were particularly good because of the toughness of the course." oops...
