DATED MATERIAL NON-PROFIT ORG. POSTAGE PAID PERMIT #899 ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA Townhouses, built for occupancy in 1973, were a housing solution for increasing enrollment and limited dor-mitory space.

False, according to' the housing staff. "The rumor that the town-houses are temporary is a Bethel myth," said Mack Net-tleton, associate dean of stu-by Diane Henry The monkey that escaped from Como Zoo in June was captured Sunday, Oct. 10. It had been seen on the Bethel campus by a few students. Betsy Elvig, junior, saw it Sept. 19 while jogging near the seminary. The monkey was behind the seminary housing, climbing on a fence. Becky Arndt, senior, saw it Sept. 20 on Bethel Drive. She said, "It was sitting in a tree, and it was really cute. At first I thought it was a cat, but then I saw that it didn't have pointed ears. It talked to me, and I talked back, but I can't explain the noises. It looked hungry." On Sept. 20 the monkey was seen by a few Bethel stu-dents, sitting in a tree near interstate highway 35W, eat-ing a banana. John Fletcher, director, of dent development. "The build-ings are amortized (financed) on a 30-year basis, which is not very temporary." Students first occupied the townhouses in February 1973, a time of great enrollment increases. "The school grew by leaps .and bounds in the early 70 s, and dorms would have taken too long to con-struct," said Greg Hamann, director of resident life. "Money was ,tight, and they (the Bethel administration) did the best job they could under the circumstances." An extension of Nelson Residence was originally planned to house additional students, but funds were short and a desperate need arose for residences. Townhouses were the quickest and cheap-est way to get students on campus. "Any wooden structure built in a college setting is considered temporary because of the wear," said Hamann. "The townhouses are tempo-rary only in comparison to brick buildings, which are designed to last 100 years." "Wood may not be as dur-able as brick, but it is less expensive," said Nettleton. "The townhouses were con-structed like traditional fam-ily dwellings, complete with sheet rock and insulation." Unlike Nelson Residence, which was constructed with donated money, Arden Village East and West were subsi-dized by low-interest Hous-ing and Urban Development (HUD) loans. Bethel had to meet certain regulations to quilify for these loans. The residences must be easily convertible into apartments. Pipe's for kitchen use were installed in a bedroom closet of each townhouse to allow conversion to apartments should Bethel go bankrupt. The townhouses' per-bed construction costs were cheaper than those of Edgren and Bodien Residences com-bined. The townhouses, with a capacity of 456 people, cost $1.65 million, while Edgren and Bodien, with a capacity of 278, cost $1.99 million. Every year $40,000 to $45,000 is spent on townhouse repairs. Much of the money goes toward complete redeco-ration of 20 townhouses each summer. "We have replaced 75 per cent of the carpet and purchased new furniture. That is a large investment in long-term improvements," said Hamann. There is no plan to replace the townhouses because of prohibitive construction costs. "The money paid by students now for housing would not even pay for the interest rates on buildings similar to Edgren and Bodien," said Steve Liss-ner, director of campus plan-ning. No fund-raising drives can be started for new dormi-tories until finances for the fieldhouse are set.

The composition was succinct and reported the facts without "puffing," a distorting tech-nique commonly used in the journalism field. I particularly liked the in-struction to the Bethel com-munity that "security is every-body's business." This- is the crux to reducing security vio-lations in our fine institution. I often regret seeing valuable articles lying around our halls day after day which can be easily acquired by someone who has a propensity for thievery. I think your article can have a good effect on improving security at Bethel. Thanks. J.M. Woods Director Physical Plant Department Dear editor, The one element that lies deep within the heart of the Bethel community is love. But what is love? Can it really be defined like any other corn-mon noun in the English lan-guage? Webster defines love as "a feeling of strong personal attachment induced by sym-pathetic understanding, or by ties of kinship; ardent affec-tion." This definition sounds rather cold and technical. It doesn't really bring out the true meaning of the word love. Love is more than mere "per-sonal attachment," love is car-ing, it is sharing, it is under-standing and helping. editor's note: Some material was uninten-tionally omitted from M. Roe's letter on nudear disarmament (Oct. 1 5). The list of scientists who say that U.S. and Soviet arsenals have "rough equality" should have included Dr. Kurt Gottfried, professor of physics and nuclear studies at Cornell University; among organiza-tions whose members support nuclear disarmament should hove been the Union of Con-cerned Scientists and the Feder-ation of American Scientists. Love brings a sense of sat-isfaction and peace. Some-times we get so busy and caught up in our own little worlds that we forget to show any love. We tend to become harsh and forgetful of others, even though they may be go-ing through the same trials as we are. When I think of love, I think of the book of Philippians. Paul is writing this letter during his imprisonment in Rome, and yet he can still write in chapter one, verses nine through eleven: "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God." We, too, as Christians, should be "filled with the fruit of righteousness," ready to see page 4 letters Music disguised as Christian Dear editor, The posters for a recent Christian music concert ad-vertise "Our rock is not their rock." It sounds reassuring, but how is Christian music different? I think that some Christian music is simply secular music with Christian lyrics. This al-lows Christians to enjoy the pleasures of the world and yet not feel guilty. All we have to do is change the lyrics and that makes the music convey a whole different meaning. Right? If I sing the words to "Happy Birthday" to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne," would you think about a birthday party or New Year's Eve? Most people do not know the words to "Auld Lang Syne," yet the feelings the song evokes are univer-sal. The music style speaks just as loud as the lyrics. Many Christians believe secular rock is evil. The prob-lem is they still enjoy the style. The solution, it seems, has been to bring the Gospel down to the level of secular rock styles. Then, supposedly, a person -can be blessed by listening to the Christian words. Yet we still have the style speaking to us—remem-ber? Isn't it time we consider music for what it really says to us? Let's admit that all sec-ular music is not evil, and that all Christian music is not automatically good. If we could lessen the fear we have of the secular, maybe we wouldn't have to cling to Christian rock. We should consider all types of music, based on lyrics, style and audience response, to deter-mine which music is compat-ible with our Christian life-style. Are we deceived in believ-ing Christian music is "all for the glory of God" when it is really "all for our guiltless enjoyment?" Deborah Nelson PO 185 Honest prioritizing cements commitment We all have expectations placed upon us and - responsibilities to meet. The problems seems that as the semester has gotten busier for students, faculty, staff and administration we begin to fall short of our responsibilities. We are too busy to meet the person we promised to have lunch with, we miss due dates or work deadlines and we do not put in the effort we should in our work. When this begins to happen we need to reassess our activities and responsibilities to see how we stack up in meeting them. It may be time for us to do a little restructuring. This begins with establishing priority responsibilities and time commitments. We may have to leave out something we want to do, such as attending that other committee meeting. In addition to the fact that our bodies can only handle so much activity without time for replenishment, we need to do an adequate job in our work. We should not be doing just and amount needed to get by or forcing our co-workers on the job or in the group to pick up extra work. We should honestly evaluate what we can do and what we are just not able to handle in our schedules. We have to be honest in this evaluation, though. With midterms coming it is easy to say that we just do not have the time because of studies. We can only study so many hours of the day and a certain balance must be maintained. Spending all of our time studying often leads to a tired mind and ineffective studying. All of this can result in inner frustration that we are not accomplishing what we want or need to. We need to look at our evaluation of priorities, set aside time, and tackle one thing at a time. If we really want to do those things to which we commit ourselves we should be able to find time for them in our schedules—time to meet the expectations and our responsibilities. 1w Security is everybody's business at Bethel College 1982-1983 Bethel College Building Hours Buildings are open from 7 a.m.71 1 p.m. each day.

I, ......... . , "FINCH "Fish," Sigmond muttered to himself as he pulled the plow through the field. "If that stinkin' work horse wouldn't have died I could be sleeping in the barn right now." As the days of plowing continued his attitude worsened. He began missing the weekly council meetings held by the animals. One morning as the farmer came into the barn to hitch Sigmond up to the plow Sigmond muttered to himself again. "Forget this garbage, donkeys were not made by God to plow fields. I'm not a work horse, no more plowing for me." He wished that he could scream "GO AWAY" at the farmer. At the next weekly meeting Sigmond was the main topic of the animals' discussion. The big .sow spoke first. "That dumb donkey, he seems to be all wrapped up in himself." "Yea," the heifer said, "we all do what's expected of us for the farmer, but Sigmond just sits in that stuffy barn on his tail." "You're right," said the lamb, "it's not fair that we do all the work and his lack of work jeopardizes the farm. If the farmer can't plant in the field he won't have anything to sell." "Without sales," interrupted the sow, "the farmer would have to get rid of the farm, which means he would have to get rid of us." "It seems as if he resists the tendency to care 'or do good," said the hog. "He's just plain apathetic and selfish." The heifer walked over to the fence and rested her head on the upper rung. "I care, but what can we do to help?" "Nothing," said the lamb, "it's up to him. He needs to become aware of how much his actions have hurt others." "I just wish that he would quit making such a donkey out of himself," added the heifer.. - Two weeks after the "For Sale" sign had been planted in the yard, the farmer decided that Sigmond should go to the glue factory. Sigmond was unable to work because he had devel-oped swayback. He bathed himself in self pity. Sigmond never felt comfortable, but he was unwilling to admit this to himself. As Sigmond stood in line with the other animals awaiting his execution, the old beat-up horse in front of him turned his head and said, "I realize now what I have caused others to go through, but it's too late for me. My time has come. Your life is just beginning, turn back and right your wrong." "Ouuuuuuch," Sigmond said when he realized what he had done. That same afternoon Sigmond was back in the field plow-ing, the "For Sale" sign was in the garbage, the farmer had a field to plant in, and the animals rejoiced.

Woodward/photo october 22, 1982 the Clarion page 3 Pilot lands in Bethel classroom by Tim Nelson James Hurd, assistant pro-fessor of anthropology, earned his B.A. and went to Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica and Venezuela as a pilot for Mis-sion Aviation Fellowship. In Costa Rica he met his wife Barbara. He proposed to her in the Amazon Jungle. "Barbara said yes because I was the only way out of the jungle," he laughed. He-and his wife have been married for 12 years, and have three children, Kim-berly, 10, Timothy, 8, and Jennifer, 5. "I like to go bicy-cling with my kids and work around the house in my spare time." He also enjoys playing tennis—he was a high school letterman. Hurd is in his first year of teaching. He went to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for four years and studied mis-sion aviation. A native of Cali-fornia, he did his undergrad-uate work at California State- Fullerton for three years and received his B.A. in anthro-pology.

Students may participate directly or indirect-ly in one of Bethel's nine poli-cy- making student/faculty com-mittees. James Holmes, faculty mod-erator of the committees, says that Bethel's governance struc-ture is unique from other schools' systems since most Bethel decisions are made in student/faculty committees rather than general faculty meetings. "Students carry their fair Lifestyle Dear editor: Plese enroll me as a sup-porter for Don Postema's al-ternative to the current Bethel Lifestyle Statement. His pro-posal adds a number of fea-tures (for example, his em-phases on justice and peace-making) that are Godly and Biblical and true.

Steve Goodwin, BSA pres-ident, appoints willing stu-dents to committees, which generally total four students and four faculty members. Usually committees try to reach consensus on the issues; however, if no consensus is reached. the committee con-ducts a simple majority vote.

"A Christian should struggle to see how Christianity could be expressed in other cultures." professor in philosophy. Its major goal this year is curric-ulum revision. "The present curriculum doesn't reflect students' needs like it might," Holmes said. "The revision probably will not be a complete overhaul, but more likely will focus on such issues as graduation re-quirements." The current phase involves faculty and student opinion probes, and some "pilot-test-ing" will occur in 1983 -84. Both Holmes and Goodwin encourage students to express their concern to a student rep-resentative on a committee. Goodwin cited one student/ faculty committee which was affected by concerned stu-dents this year. The Curricu-lum Administrator Advisory Committee (CAAC) is now discussing a proposal that would ban tests the week be-fore finals. see page 6 by Tammy Gregersen Have you ever wondered how the dean's office arrives at the final curriculum choices for interim? "Around February or March, each faculty member makes a proposal for a class they would like to teach," said Tricia Brownlee, director of academic programs. "The Cur-riculum Committee reviews it and decides whether to rec-ommend it to this office. In September, if there are gaps in the curriculum, we ap-proach part-time teachers to see it they have anything to add." "The policy is that no one class can be offered two years in a row," said Brownlee. "This makes for a fresh and new program each year. There are usually more new courses than repeated ones." "I think this year's interim is one of the best," said Brown-lee. "The curriculum contains creative, unique, and interest-ing courses—maybe more than ever before." B A L.

Renovations improve physical plant, gym and carpeting by Dave Pikal Over the summer renova-tions were made in both the college and the seminary. One example of this is the new carpeting located in AC2, AC3, FA3, FA4, and rooms AC 203 and 228. "The carpeting which was replaced was the original car-peting," said Jim Wiegner, su-pervisor of custodial services. "It was laid in 1972 and was getting worn out. The AC lounge was in particular need of new carpeting. However, we don't sell the old carpet-ing. It is given to area churches and other organizations." "Part of our job is to assess what renovations are needed," said Jim Woods, director of the physical plant. "We select target areas where improve-ment is needed, determine the cost, and submit them to the general budget. We receive budgetary guidelines for our department, which we take into consideration as we prior-itize various target areas." Besides the new carpeting, students can see other reno-vations by the physical plant. An example is the gym floor. In past years the markings for the basketball court on the gym floor allowed for a border area around the court of ap-proximately one foot. This year the markings have been widened to a three foot border. The volleyball lines have been changed to accommodate the new metric measurements. An-other improvement made in the gyth was coating the wood bleachers with a protective sealer. A further addition was the installation of tiles at the en-trance of the physical educa-tion building. Tiles were also installed at the west end of the AC building on both first and second floors. Access to the seminary from the college was improved as well. The road on the west side of the campus between the college and the seminary was upgraded, as well as the path from Arden Village. West to the seminary. Lights are by Bonnie Coleman The bill to remove the glass from the Beef Board lost by a narrow margin in a vote of 8 to 7 during the Senate meet-ing last Monday night in the AC lounge. The bill was voted down despite the results of a survey conducted for a class by Les Laroche, sophomore senator. The survey, sent out to 2100 students last week, revealed 283 responses to remove the glass, 85 to keep it and 54 who voted indifference. Results of the survey fa-cilitated discussion as to how senators should vote as rep-resentatives of the student body. Joy Skjegstad, fresh-man senator, said, "The sur-vey was a good idea but a one-on-one interview with constituents would give a more accurate response." Arguments previously raised to senators by stu-also in the process of being installed. The major renovation by the physical plant is not actu-ally seen by students, but it should pay for itself in less than two years. This is the addition of a computerized energy management system. This $35,000 system replaces the rental unit from Honey-well. "This new system con-trols and monitors the flow of energy for the school," noted Wiegner. This includes such utilities as electricity and air-conditioning. dents for the bill, concerning censorship and the lack of spontaneity, were also dis-cussed. Patty Eastman, sen-ator at large and oppponent of the bill, felt the students' mis-understanding of the glass's intent was due to the poor presentation of it from the start. Charlie Rhetts, dean of men and student senate advisor, thanked the senators for the research they did on the Beef Board issue. Their efforts to represent the student body was appreciated. Craig Johnson, Bethel Stu-dent Association (BSA) trea-surer, encouraged senators to read the funding requests re-cently submitted to the sen-ate by various student or-ganizations. The Rules and Finance Committee will re-search each organization's needs and report back to the senate.

This device, operated on a hydraulic sys-tem, allows one to be lifted straight up in the air while standing on a platform. This unit is especially useful in the gym, where maintenance per-sonnel frequently set up for banquets, concerts and pro-grams. In the past, the light-ing engineers had to crawl on the rafters in order to reach a light. "This unit will also pay for itself," said Wiegner.

"I would like to encourage those involved in small groups to pray for a day in prepara-tion for this event," Lemon said. The whole thrust of this semester's prayer day is to invite students to become aware of small support groups on campus. "These groups are something that not everyone takes advantage of," Lemon said. The celebration will begin with a special chapel service and conclude with an evening communion service. Students as well as faculty feel a need for "a renewed sense of the Spirit on cam-pus," Pastor Spickelmier said. Although classes will be held as usual, Lemon encour-ages faculty to talk to classes about prayer and small group prayer. Spring will hold a more formal day of prayer with fasting and praise throughout the day.

With such quan-tities of highly detailed and sophisticated knowledge, surely we would expect to understand what life is really about and should therefore be able to make meaningful decisions regard-ing its nature and management. Yet when I look around, it is clear that we have many serious problems; we really understand precious little about the intricacies within living organisms; neither do we realize or appreciate the tenuous threads which hold the diverse forms of living things together in integral relationships to each other. It is precisely in the area of relationships that our own lives become rich or poor in meaning. Few of us clearly sense the oneness we share with all living things. Man's physical self is constructed of the very same "stuff" that makes up all other living things. This means that actions we initiate or pursue which are detrimental to some segment of living forms or people about us will ultimately come to roost in our own nests. Small insults on the quality of life for purposes of temporary or small benefits for ourselves produce what one economist has called the "tyranny of small decisions" for the collective whole. Each little innocuous maneuver compounds with oth-ers to eventually produce large, unmanageable conditions. This has been especially apparent in the realm of environmen-tal quality, where such short-sighted notions as "the solution to pollution is dilution" can be heard. The key to avoiding this difficulty appears to lie in "the development of a holistic view of the world around us." The general trend in science and society at large is to do the oppo-site, to be more reductionistic, to dissect the problems into discrete units which can be handled more easily. We tend to quickly lose consciousness of both the relatedness and inter-actions between these units and make false assumptions about their singular significance. We end up giving priority to some factors which achieve this exalted status more from our parochial interest or because they are the ones we are equipped to deal with, rather than because of any innate value in themselves. We make issues of many items, granting them such singular importance that "Christ Himself would be con-cerned, if He knew all the facts." This frequently disconnects essential elements to the point where they escape the moderating, integrating and regulating influences about them. When one component is removed from its commitment to and cooperation with the whole, this "deci-sion" has serious effects on the remainder. When cells in living organisms do this, they are called cancers. The selfish charac-ter of singular priorities destroys proper functions and rela-tionships and often leads to invasion into domains which neither want it nor can restrain it effectively. We struggle to beat it back as we direct a whole barrage of rays and special potions at it, frequently to no avail. Usually the whole orga-nism ultimately succumbs and the very life goes out of it. Our theologies and spiritual lives often suffer from similar maladies. We tend to concentrate on units of activity such as daily devotions, church attendance, right behaviours, avoid-ance of temptation and the like. By frequent over-emphasis on isolated types of thought or behaviours, we pull apart the fabric of Christianity and weave some new type of cloth that covers only those areas of nakedness we feel are shameful, or adorn those parts which are surely to be glorified, while the other parts of the body remain exposed to the raw harshness of life. Even God becomes a "God of the gaps.," filling in the areas where lack of understanding or weaknesses remain, rather than being the permeating, filling presence in every moment and aspect of our lives that He desires to be. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?" It makes little difference whether you call it community, cooperation, or some other word; the living relationship which flows from the human ability to love, together with the commitment to one another it requires— these constitute the cement which binds us to and links us within the Body of Christ. Dr. Art Lewis plans on using his 1614 Geneva Bible in his introductory Bible classes. Velie/photo "Breeches Bible" forms in to as shire, 1784 are two examples. • Lewis plans to take the Geneva Bible to the Univer-sity of Minnesota library and other libraries for evaluation. "It will give me an opportun-ity, an avenue, of sharing the Word of God," said Lewis. This year Lewis will be using the Bible in his fresh-man classes when they talk about Bible transmission. "It will show the students how the Bible has been preserved," said Lewis. The Geneva Bible or the "Breeches Bible" stands out because it is one of the most important translations of our time. "The translation found in Genesis 3:7 which uses "breeches" is the reason the Bible gets its nickname," said Lewis. Genesis 3:7 mentions where Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to make clothes. The Geneva Bible was the first English Bible divided into verses and with study notes around the page. It was also the first Bible to be published in flexible wooden type in Scotland. The Bible contains a hymn-book, dictionary, many geo-graphical maps and an elabo-rate outline of the 12 tribes. Fastened with bronzed straps, the book weighs 5 pounds. The cowhide cover has been preserved and still has a faint trace of the original design. The pages, made of a heavy paper, are also in good con-dition. Some previous owners of this Bible wrote their names in it. Most of the names are faded; still, a few names and dates are recognizable. Eliza-beth Kipling, 1772, and Ed-ward Kellett Brigall _in York- By Sandy Holasek A Geneva Bible, dated 1614, was presented as a gift this summer to Dr. Art Lewis, pro-fessor in Biblical studies. Mrs. Frances Kramer Kapple, a per-sonal friend and concert viol-inist with the L'Abri Ensem-ble, gave the Bible to Lewis when the group was perform-ing a concert here in the area. The ancient Bible "repre-sents the light through the centuries—that God has not left us without his Word," said Lewis. He plans to write an article on the importance of this Bible. The Geneva Bible is important to Christian stu-dents because "it links us with the saints 400 to 500 years ago who were martyred to preserve God's Word," said Lewis. The Geneva Bible is in a glass-enclosed case outside of Lewis' office in the AC build-ing.

His personal collection, started back in the mid-1960 s, contains over 500 comic books. Schiffer also started a dealership two years ago which now contains in excess of over 12,000 books. Dealing in everything from Mighty Mouse to Superman, Schiffer has comic books dat-ing from the early 1940s to the present. His oldest per-sonal collectors' issue is Superman (edition 21) pub-lished in 1942. Superman is now on its 375th issue. The market price on his Super-man comic is about $75. Some comic books, like the first edi-tion of Batman, run over $10,000. "Some people do it (deal in 'comic books) for a living," CAAC, from page 3 CAAC works with the school calendar—holidays, starting and ending dates— and also handles senior gra-duation appeals. Some other student/faculty committees include the Ath-letic Advisory Committee, con-cerned with the proposed field-house; the Chapel and Spirit-ual Life Committee; the Con-vocation Committee; and the Public Affairs Policy Commit-tee, which views Bethel's re-lations with outside churches and organizations. The committees meet the second Tuesday of each month, with the fourth Tues-said Schiffer. "Far me, it's a hobby that pays for itself. As far as mass profit goes, I won't get rich or anything." "I liked comic books as a kid," said Schiffer. "I had a friend who always came over and read comic books to me before I could even read. Then I did a lot of comic book read-ing in my early to mid teens. The dealership got started when I was basically looking for comics for my own collec-tions, and got some I didn't want. I found out the comic book business was half-way profitable." Schiffer also attends con-ventions. "You set up your wares like a large flea mar-ket," said Schiffer. "Prices are determined by supply and de-mand. People participating in the convention range from those who can't see over the table to those collecting social security." Throughout his life-time, Schiffer estimated that he had read about 5,000 comic books. "I really don't have too much time to read them now, though," said Schiffer. day as an optional additional meeting time. Goodwin says that open-ings exist on most commit-tees. He welcomes students to express their interest to him concerning an opening. Holmes also encourages students to get involved. "Beth-el has a governance situation where a person might feel he can't get to the inside—that's why it's so important to have students actively participat-ing on committees," he said. "The faculty wants to give as much responsibility as pos-sible to the students. We great-ly 'value their contribution to our governance process." There are two main pub-lishers of comic books: Mar-vel, who created Sprderman and the Incredible Hulk, and DC Comics, who created Superman, Batman, and Won-der Woman. "Presently, the Marvel Comics are becoming more realistic with death, kill- .ing and heartache being com-mon themes," siad Schiffer. "When I was growing up, it was a fun world—the good guys always won. Comic books were a means of escape then, not like some of the blood and guts ones of today." The content of today's comic books is much more varied. Publishers are print-ing everything from those on salvation, to pornographic and X-rated comics. "A lot of criticism is going on in comic book writing today as to some of the content," said Schiffer. "It's a fun hobby: I enjoy it," - said Schiffer. "If anyone has a collection, and is interested in a little tuition money, come and see me." by Tammy Gregersen Writing papers is a task all college students must endure. The Writing Center, located in AC 320, is a place where students can get help when they are stumped with a paper. "I see the Writing Center as having a three-prong service," said Lynn Fauth, coordinator of the Writing Center. "First of all, it is to help students who do have ability to write a polished paper. We try to raise competent writers to excel-lence. This is the category that contains 95% of the students." "The second purpose is to help . students with very se-rious writing problems, but there are very few of them. When we do come 'across a person who needs a lot of help, either Anne Rosenthal- Siemers (assistant coordina-tor of the Writing Center) or I usually handle it. In other words, we help raise the few students who can't write to a level of competency." "Thirdly, although there are not many, we try to help excellent writers become su-perior," said Fauth. "Most schools have writing centers because they recog-nize the need," said Fauth. "Here at Bethel, we do a lot for very little. Our budget is very small. We don't get into gim-micks. The key to our effec-tiveness is the one-to-one help." Signing paychecks, giving the center credibility, and evangelizing Writing Center services among the faculty are some of the roles Fauth and Rosenthal-Siemers play as the coordinators. They also play a major part in hiring the staff. "Basically I look for two things in a tutor," said Fauth. "I'm looking for competent writers and understanding people. The tutors are also learning writers and must work at it. They must under-stand the struggles of the client, see the need, and help it." Rosenthal-Siemers said, "We help writers express their own ideas more clearly. The most valuable service the tutors have to offer is to read the student's paper so the stu-dent can see it through the eyes of someone else." Karen Coleman, a tutor in the Writing Center, said, "There are a lot of facets con-nected with the Writing Cen-ter. I see my job as helping people formulate, organize, and support ideas and make those ideas understandable to others. In other words, we can help anybody at any stage in writing a paper. In addi-tion, we can help students with spelling and grammati-cal problems." "Because writing is an indi-vidual and personal art, it is important for us to recognize that each person has an indi-vidual style," said Coleman. "No matter what a student's competency level in writing is, it always is helpful to have a second opinion," said Cole-man, "often just for reassu-rance that you're on the right track." "We're not here to cut down a student's writing," said Cole-man. "We understand the prob-lems and we're here to help. We all go through the same difficulties and fears." Apartment Searching?

The St. Thomas team conquered the tough and hilly course for first place. A 26:21 clocking gave Wal-by Tammy D. Frink Participation in intramural sports is much greater this year than last. Tempest Nix-on and Craig Haugen, Bethel's intramural student directors, work with six student super-visors to organize the pro-gram. Under the direction of George Palke, assistant pro-fessor in physical education, the staff serves the Bethel community. Increased publicity is said to have had an impact on the positive turnout. An oppor-tunity fair was held during Welcome Week, where the in-tramural program sponsored a booth for the first time. The men have always had a big part in the activities, said Nixon and Haugen, but this year more emphasis will be on female involvement. A change which may help sup-port this emphasis is the movement of women's open league basketball from inte-rim to fall. Since broomball is a major interim sport in which many women partici-pate, the change is hoped to wvb, from page 8 Book again made mention of the play of Pam Madson, who she said "has been very, very consistent for us this year." Book hopes to work on team consistency, and the team's continuous execution during games. "We need to be able to exe-lace his 7th place finish. Sec-ond man for the Royals was Rich Whybrew in 24th place and Tom Plocker followed in 27th. Matt Simpsons and Jeff Velasco filled out the varsity, taking 49th and 65th, res-pectively. Varsity regulars John Clark and Mark Channer did not race last weekend because, said Coach Whittaker, "we're resting these last two weeks encourage more female in-volvement in other intramu-ral activities. The main goal of Bethel's intramural sports program is increased participation to cre-ate a good fellowship. "We're not looking necessarily as to who wins," says Haugen, "but to improve students physical-ly as well as socially." "We'd like to look at it as more than a 'jock atmos-phere,' placing importance on a sense of cooperation," adds Nixon. With the exception of one member, the intramural staff is entirely new this year. Both Haugen and Nixon admit that they are experimenting with trial and error. Some new ideas in mind for this year include floor hockey for men which would take place in February or March, and also the possibility of wrist wrestling for both men and women. They are hoping to see co-ed softball continue this spring as last year was the first time it had been offer-ed to the Bethel student body. cute without a high level of emotion," said Book, "or else we get exhausted and make mistakes we wouldn't usually make. But I'm very pleased with the results of this week's matches." The Royals host St. Kate's on Oct. 26, then travel to play St. Ben's on Oct. 28, and return to host St. Scholastica on Oct. 30. The JV also has a tourna-ment at St. Kate's on Oct. 30. before conference. We've got four intense weeks of corn-petition coming up—confer-ence, NAIA Districts, NCAA Districts, and nationals.

The Royals will host a meet on campus Oct. 23, beginning at 11 a.m. Gustavus, Mac-alester, Waseca, and Golden Valley Lutheran are invited to run. fb, from page 8 Jim Miller was a stalwart on defense for Bethel, coming up with 20 tackles for the Royals and drawing high praise from his coach. "Jimmy had one of the most spectacular days I've seen him have," said Lutton of his all-conference linebacker. While the defense managed to hold off Concordia for much of the game, the offense had trouble trying to penetrate the MIAC's top defense. The Royals never had a good scor-ing opportunity and failed to get inside Concordia's 30-yard line. The most consistent offen-sive play was throwing the ball to end Byron Johnson, whether it came from the arm of Steve Doten or Rhett Bon-ner. Johnson had seven catches for 115 yards as Doten and Bonner alternated at the quarterback spot. Lutton realized that his team, comprised of mostly freshmen and sophomores, still has a way to go but thinks his program is headed in the right direction. "One of these days we'll be able to play with them (Con-cordia) and I think that day will come sooner than later," he said.

Woodward/photo page 8 the Clarion october 22, 1982 sports by Sandy Holasek Bethel women's soccer has started its third season with a 2 - 1 record. The 24 women in the club are coached by Tom Persico, senior. Two years ago Persico and others decided that women should have a soccer program. A plan for a women's soccer club was brought before Stu-dent Senate and George Palke, assistant professor in physi-cal education, in fall 1980. Two months later, women's soccer was approved and it began in the spring of 1981. It was hard to find schools to compete with in the spring so this year women's soccer was switched to fall. The rea-son, according to Persico, was because all the MIAC schools were turning varsity and play-ing in the fall. Although many of the play-ers are new, Persico said he admires the effort they put in the game. "I have never seen such quality and joy—their energy is encouraging to see." The main goal is to establish team unity and fellowship with one another on the field. Included in that goal is "serv-ing the Lord and being a wit-ness to the other schools," according to Persico. Women's soccer club plays against the private schools in the area, and some state schools such as the U of M and St. Cloud. According to Persico, many of the teams it has gone up against are expe-rienced and tough. In the up-coming games "they might be surprised that we have a lot of talent on the team," he said. In the future, Persico would like to see the club become a team. As a team, women's soccer would have a budget, which Persico said would "ease things all around by supplying uniforms and gas money." The next women's soccer game will be Saturday, Oct. 23 at the U of M. Bethel's Steve Figini showed some head's up play in the Royals 1-0 loss to second-ranked Sangamon State on Oct. 16. Goalie Doug Fauth (center) and Jeff Krause defend on the play. Velie/photo Johnson's trio trips Tommies in shut-out win by John Lilleberg The soccer team upped its conference- record to 6-0- 2 with a solid 3 -0 win over a tough St. Thomas squad. The shut-out victory, the Royals' second this season, was high-lighted by impressive defen-sive play. Playing particularly well defensively were sweeper Steve Figini and outside full-back Steve Schottmuller. All three Bethel goals were scored by Mark Johnson. Johnson scored late in the first half then added two more in the second half. Two of the goals were set up by Bobby Clark; Mark Schlenker as-sisted with the other. Assistant Coach Andy Larson noted, "The defense played well," and added, "It wasn't a real pretty game— but we won." On Oct. 23 the Royals play the Oles at St. Olaf. This is followed by the long-awaited clash against the Johnnies at St. John's on Wednesday, Oc-tober 27. Bethel soccer club starts third season Royals manage to contain Cobbers... temporarily by John Clark Bethel football coach Dud Lutton hopes he never devel-ops a taste for losing, but after holding the defending national champions to one touchdown for almost three quarters he was pleased with his Royal team even in defeat. The final score was 28-0 in favor of the Concordia Cob-bers in the game played Oct. 17. The game, scheduled to be ,played at Moorhead, was moved to Fargo due to poor field conditions. "I felt better about this game than a lot of games we've played this year," said Lutton of the Concordia contest. "Sometimes the scoreboard is a little irrelevant to good play." In this case the scoreboard was irrelevant in two ways. The game was close until Con-cordia scored late in the third quarter to take a 14-0 lead. If not for a steller defensive per-formance by the Bethel de-fense, the game could have been a total blowout, wit-nessed by the Cobbers 474- 193 advantage in total offense. Concordia scored the first time it had the ball, marching 96 yards to take a 7-0 lead. It was a long time, however, before the Cobbers saw the light of the end zone. Three minutes remained in the third quarter when Concordia iced the game with its second TD. "They certainly are a very, very good team," stated Lut-ton. "It was difficult to keep them out of the end zone. We just got worn down." The key for Bethel was forc-ing the Cobbers to make long drives rather than turn the ball over and allow for quick scores. "I think our offense did a good job of handling the ball and controlling the offense," said Lutton. "The big thing for us was that we made them travel the length of the field." see page 7 Spikers sweep three, gain conference confidence by Todd Erickson A sweep of three matches during the week did wonders for the Royal volleyball team's confidence, to say nothing of its conference standing. Bethel now stands at 6- 1 in the conference, one game be-hind undefeated Macalester; after disposing of St. Thomas, Augsburg, and Concordia. The Royals began the week with a grueling five-game match against St. Thomas, coming from behind to win 5- 15, 10- 15, 15-8, 15-9, and 15- 3. "St. Thomas had a really quick offense," said Coach Cindy Book, "and we honestly weren't ready for it." Book cited some defensiye, adjustments and some strong team confidence as reasons for the Royals' encouraging comeback. Book also made mention of the stand-out play of Shelly Sorenson, Pam Madson, and Katy Rott during the highly emotional struggle against the Tommies. The second match of the week, against Augsburg, was "an excellent match," accord-ing to Book, with Bethel vic-tories in four games, 6- 15, 15- 10, 15- 11, and 15- 11. "Pat Jones played the best game I've ever seen her play," said Book. Bethel struggled a bit more than Book thought they should have against Concordia, drop- . ping the Rame before winning 12-15, 15-8, 16-14, and 16-14. "That was a tough game for us mentally, probably more than anything else," said Book. She was referring to the two highly-emotional matches earlier in the week, and how it was hard to hold that level of play on a Friday match. "We certainly can play bet-ter," said Book of the Concor-dia match, "but again, that desire to win was there, and we just held tough." The Royals were down 1- 10 in the third game of that match, but proved how they could "hang tough" by out-scoring the Cobbers 15-4 from that point. see page 7

False, according to' the housing staff. "The rumor that the town-houses are temporary is a Bethel myth," said Mack Net-tleton, associate dean of stu-by Diane Henry The monkey that escaped from Como Zoo in June was captured Sunday, Oct. 10. It had been seen on the Bethel campus by a few students. Betsy Elvig, junior, saw it Sept. 19 while jogging near the seminary. The monkey was behind the seminary housing, climbing on a fence. Becky Arndt, senior, saw it Sept. 20 on Bethel Drive. She said, "It was sitting in a tree, and it was really cute. At first I thought it was a cat, but then I saw that it didn't have pointed ears. It talked to me, and I talked back, but I can't explain the noises. It looked hungry." On Sept. 20 the monkey was seen by a few Bethel stu-dents, sitting in a tree near interstate highway 35W, eat-ing a banana. John Fletcher, director, of dent development. "The build-ings are amortized (financed) on a 30-year basis, which is not very temporary." Students first occupied the townhouses in February 1973, a time of great enrollment increases. "The school grew by leaps .and bounds in the early 70 s, and dorms would have taken too long to con-struct," said Greg Hamann, director of resident life. "Money was ,tight, and they (the Bethel administration) did the best job they could under the circumstances." An extension of Nelson Residence was originally planned to house additional students, but funds were short and a desperate need arose for residences. Townhouses were the quickest and cheap-est way to get students on campus. "Any wooden structure built in a college setting is considered temporary because of the wear," said Hamann. "The townhouses are tempo-rary only in comparison to brick buildings, which are designed to last 100 years." "Wood may not be as dur-able as brick, but it is less expensive," said Nettleton. "The townhouses were con-structed like traditional fam-ily dwellings, complete with sheet rock and insulation." Unlike Nelson Residence, which was constructed with donated money, Arden Village East and West were subsi-dized by low-interest Hous-ing and Urban Development (HUD) loans. Bethel had to meet certain regulations to quilify for these loans. The residences must be easily convertible into apartments. Pipe's for kitchen use were installed in a bedroom closet of each townhouse to allow conversion to apartments should Bethel go bankrupt. The townhouses' per-bed construction costs were cheaper than those of Edgren and Bodien Residences com-bined. The townhouses, with a capacity of 456 people, cost $1.65 million, while Edgren and Bodien, with a capacity of 278, cost $1.99 million. Every year $40,000 to $45,000 is spent on townhouse repairs. Much of the money goes toward complete redeco-ration of 20 townhouses each summer. "We have replaced 75 per cent of the carpet and purchased new furniture. That is a large investment in long-term improvements," said Hamann. There is no plan to replace the townhouses because of prohibitive construction costs. "The money paid by students now for housing would not even pay for the interest rates on buildings similar to Edgren and Bodien," said Steve Liss-ner, director of campus plan-ning. No fund-raising drives can be started for new dormi-tories until finances for the fieldhouse are set.

The composition was succinct and reported the facts without "puffing," a distorting tech-nique commonly used in the journalism field. I particularly liked the in-struction to the Bethel com-munity that "security is every-body's business." This- is the crux to reducing security vio-lations in our fine institution. I often regret seeing valuable articles lying around our halls day after day which can be easily acquired by someone who has a propensity for thievery. I think your article can have a good effect on improving security at Bethel. Thanks. J.M. Woods Director Physical Plant Department Dear editor, The one element that lies deep within the heart of the Bethel community is love. But what is love? Can it really be defined like any other corn-mon noun in the English lan-guage? Webster defines love as "a feeling of strong personal attachment induced by sym-pathetic understanding, or by ties of kinship; ardent affec-tion." This definition sounds rather cold and technical. It doesn't really bring out the true meaning of the word love. Love is more than mere "per-sonal attachment," love is car-ing, it is sharing, it is under-standing and helping. editor's note: Some material was uninten-tionally omitted from M. Roe's letter on nudear disarmament (Oct. 1 5). The list of scientists who say that U.S. and Soviet arsenals have "rough equality" should have included Dr. Kurt Gottfried, professor of physics and nuclear studies at Cornell University; among organiza-tions whose members support nuclear disarmament should hove been the Union of Con-cerned Scientists and the Feder-ation of American Scientists. Love brings a sense of sat-isfaction and peace. Some-times we get so busy and caught up in our own little worlds that we forget to show any love. We tend to become harsh and forgetful of others, even though they may be go-ing through the same trials as we are. When I think of love, I think of the book of Philippians. Paul is writing this letter during his imprisonment in Rome, and yet he can still write in chapter one, verses nine through eleven: "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God." We, too, as Christians, should be "filled with the fruit of righteousness," ready to see page 4 letters Music disguised as Christian Dear editor, The posters for a recent Christian music concert ad-vertise "Our rock is not their rock." It sounds reassuring, but how is Christian music different? I think that some Christian music is simply secular music with Christian lyrics. This al-lows Christians to enjoy the pleasures of the world and yet not feel guilty. All we have to do is change the lyrics and that makes the music convey a whole different meaning. Right? If I sing the words to "Happy Birthday" to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne," would you think about a birthday party or New Year's Eve? Most people do not know the words to "Auld Lang Syne," yet the feelings the song evokes are univer-sal. The music style speaks just as loud as the lyrics. Many Christians believe secular rock is evil. The prob-lem is they still enjoy the style. The solution, it seems, has been to bring the Gospel down to the level of secular rock styles. Then, supposedly, a person -can be blessed by listening to the Christian words. Yet we still have the style speaking to us—remem-ber? Isn't it time we consider music for what it really says to us? Let's admit that all sec-ular music is not evil, and that all Christian music is not automatically good. If we could lessen the fear we have of the secular, maybe we wouldn't have to cling to Christian rock. We should consider all types of music, based on lyrics, style and audience response, to deter-mine which music is compat-ible with our Christian life-style. Are we deceived in believ-ing Christian music is "all for the glory of God" when it is really "all for our guiltless enjoyment?" Deborah Nelson PO 185 Honest prioritizing cements commitment We all have expectations placed upon us and - responsibilities to meet. The problems seems that as the semester has gotten busier for students, faculty, staff and administration we begin to fall short of our responsibilities. We are too busy to meet the person we promised to have lunch with, we miss due dates or work deadlines and we do not put in the effort we should in our work. When this begins to happen we need to reassess our activities and responsibilities to see how we stack up in meeting them. It may be time for us to do a little restructuring. This begins with establishing priority responsibilities and time commitments. We may have to leave out something we want to do, such as attending that other committee meeting. In addition to the fact that our bodies can only handle so much activity without time for replenishment, we need to do an adequate job in our work. We should not be doing just and amount needed to get by or forcing our co-workers on the job or in the group to pick up extra work. We should honestly evaluate what we can do and what we are just not able to handle in our schedules. We have to be honest in this evaluation, though. With midterms coming it is easy to say that we just do not have the time because of studies. We can only study so many hours of the day and a certain balance must be maintained. Spending all of our time studying often leads to a tired mind and ineffective studying. All of this can result in inner frustration that we are not accomplishing what we want or need to. We need to look at our evaluation of priorities, set aside time, and tackle one thing at a time. If we really want to do those things to which we commit ourselves we should be able to find time for them in our schedules—time to meet the expectations and our responsibilities. 1w Security is everybody's business at Bethel College 1982-1983 Bethel College Building Hours Buildings are open from 7 a.m.71 1 p.m. each day.

As the days of plowing continued his attitude worsened. He began missing the weekly council meetings held by the animals. One morning as the farmer came into the barn to hitch Sigmond up to the plow Sigmond muttered to himself again. "Forget this garbage, donkeys were not made by God to plow fields. I'm not a work horse, no more plowing for me." He wished that he could scream "GO AWAY" at the farmer. At the next weekly meeting Sigmond was the main topic of the animals' discussion. The big .sow spoke first. "That dumb donkey, he seems to be all wrapped up in himself." "Yea," the heifer said, "we all do what's expected of us for the farmer, but Sigmond just sits in that stuffy barn on his tail." "You're right," said the lamb, "it's not fair that we do all the work and his lack of work jeopardizes the farm. If the farmer can't plant in the field he won't have anything to sell." "Without sales," interrupted the sow, "the farmer would have to get rid of the farm, which means he would have to get rid of us." "It seems as if he resists the tendency to care 'or do good," said the hog. "He's just plain apathetic and selfish." The heifer walked over to the fence and rested her head on the upper rung. "I care, but what can we do to help?" "Nothing," said the lamb, "it's up to him. He needs to become aware of how much his actions have hurt others." "I just wish that he would quit making such a donkey out of himself," added the heifer.. - Two weeks after the "For Sale" sign had been planted in the yard, the farmer decided that Sigmond should go to the glue factory. Sigmond was unable to work because he had devel-oped swayback. He bathed himself in self pity. Sigmond never felt comfortable, but he was unwilling to admit this to himself. As Sigmond stood in line with the other animals awaiting his execution, the old beat-up horse in front of him turned his head and said, "I realize now what I have caused others to go through, but it's too late for me. My time has come. Your life is just beginning, turn back and right your wrong." "Ouuuuuuch," Sigmond said when he realized what he had done. That same afternoon Sigmond was back in the field plow-ing, the "For Sale" sign was in the garbage, the farmer had a field to plant in, and the animals rejoiced.

"The present curriculum doesn't reflect students' needs like it might," Holmes said. "The revision probably will not be a complete overhaul, but more likely will focus on such issues as graduation re-quirements." The current phase involves faculty and student opinion probes, and some "pilot-test-ing" will occur in 1983 -84. Both Holmes and Goodwin encourage students to express their concern to a student rep-resentative on a committee. Goodwin cited one student/ faculty committee which was affected by concerned stu-dents this year. The Curricu-lum Administrator Advisory Committee (CAAC) is now discussing a proposal that would ban tests the week be-fore finals. see page 6 by Tammy Gregersen Have you ever wondered how the dean's office arrives at the final curriculum choices for interim? "Around February or March, each faculty member makes a proposal for a class they would like to teach," said Tricia Brownlee, director of academic programs. "The Cur-riculum Committee reviews it and decides whether to rec-ommend it to this office. In September, if there are gaps in the curriculum, we ap-proach part-time teachers to see it they have anything to add." "The policy is that no one class can be offered two years in a row," said Brownlee. "This makes for a fresh and new program each year. There are usually more new courses than repeated ones." "I think this year's interim is one of the best," said Brown-lee. "The curriculum contains creative, unique, and interest-ing courses—maybe more than ever before." B A L.

Renovations improve physical plant, gym and carpeting by Dave Pikal Over the summer renova-tions were made in both the college and the seminary. One example of this is the new carpeting located in AC2, AC3, FA3, FA4, and rooms AC 203 and 228. "The carpeting which was replaced was the original car-peting," said Jim Wiegner, su-pervisor of custodial services. "It was laid in 1972 and was getting worn out. The AC lounge was in particular need of new carpeting. However, we don't sell the old carpet-ing. It is given to area churches and other organizations." "Part of our job is to assess what renovations are needed," said Jim Woods, director of the physical plant. "We select target areas where improve-ment is needed, determine the cost, and submit them to the general budget. We receive budgetary guidelines for our department, which we take into consideration as we prior-itize various target areas." Besides the new carpeting, students can see other reno-vations by the physical plant. An example is the gym floor. In past years the markings for the basketball court on the gym floor allowed for a border area around the court of ap-proximately one foot. This year the markings have been widened to a three foot border. The volleyball lines have been changed to accommodate the new metric measurements. An-other improvement made in the gyth was coating the wood bleachers with a protective sealer. A further addition was the installation of tiles at the en-trance of the physical educa-tion building. Tiles were also installed at the west end of the AC building on both first and second floors. Access to the seminary from the college was improved as well. The road on the west side of the campus between the college and the seminary was upgraded, as well as the path from Arden Village. West to the seminary. Lights are by Bonnie Coleman The bill to remove the glass from the Beef Board lost by a narrow margin in a vote of 8 to 7 during the Senate meet-ing last Monday night in the AC lounge. The bill was voted down despite the results of a survey conducted for a class by Les Laroche, sophomore senator. The survey, sent out to 2100 students last week, revealed 283 responses to remove the glass, 85 to keep it and 54 who voted indifference. Results of the survey fa-cilitated discussion as to how senators should vote as rep-resentatives of the student body. Joy Skjegstad, fresh-man senator, said, "The sur-vey was a good idea but a one-on-one interview with constituents would give a more accurate response." Arguments previously raised to senators by stu-also in the process of being installed. The major renovation by the physical plant is not actu-ally seen by students, but it should pay for itself in less than two years. This is the addition of a computerized energy management system. This $35,000 system replaces the rental unit from Honey-well. "This new system con-trols and monitors the flow of energy for the school," noted Wiegner. This includes such utilities as electricity and air-conditioning. dents for the bill, concerning censorship and the lack of spontaneity, were also dis-cussed. Patty Eastman, sen-ator at large and oppponent of the bill, felt the students' mis-understanding of the glass's intent was due to the poor presentation of it from the start. Charlie Rhetts, dean of men and student senate advisor, thanked the senators for the research they did on the Beef Board issue. Their efforts to represent the student body was appreciated. Craig Johnson, Bethel Stu-dent Association (BSA) trea-surer, encouraged senators to read the funding requests re-cently submitted to the sen-ate by various student or-ganizations. The Rules and Finance Committee will re-search each organization's needs and report back to the senate. The Special Projects Com-mittee has selected the Stu- Another acquisition by the physical plant was the hydra-personnel lift. This device, operated on a hydraulic sys-tem, allows one to be lifted straight up in the air while standing on a platform. This unit is especially useful in the gym, where maintenance per-sonnel frequently set up for banquets, concerts and pro-grams. In the past, the light-ing engineers had to crawl on the rafters in order to reach a light. "This unit will also pay for itself," said Wiegner.

"I would like to encourage those involved in small groups to pray for a day in prepara-tion for this event," Lemon said. The whole thrust of this semester's prayer day is to invite students to become aware of small support groups on campus. "These groups are something that not everyone takes advantage of," Lemon said. The celebration will begin with a special chapel service and conclude with an evening communion service. Students as well as faculty feel a need for "a renewed sense of the Spirit on cam-pus," Pastor Spickelmier said. Although classes will be held as usual, Lemon encour-ages faculty to talk to classes about prayer and small group prayer. Spring will hold a more formal day of prayer with fasting and praise throughout the day.

With such quan-tities of highly detailed and sophisticated knowledge, surely we would expect to understand what life is really about and should therefore be able to make meaningful decisions regard-ing its nature and management. Yet when I look around, it is clear that we have many serious problems; we really understand precious little about the intricacies within living organisms; neither do we realize or appreciate the tenuous threads which hold the diverse forms of living things together in integral relationships to each other. It is precisely in the area of relationships that our own lives become rich or poor in meaning. Few of us clearly sense the oneness we share with all living things. Man's physical self is constructed of the very same "stuff" that makes up all other living things. This means that actions we initiate or pursue which are detrimental to some segment of living forms or people about us will ultimately come to roost in our own nests. Small insults on the quality of life for purposes of temporary or small benefits for ourselves produce what one economist has called the "tyranny of small decisions" for the collective whole. Each little innocuous maneuver compounds with oth-ers to eventually produce large, unmanageable conditions. This has been especially apparent in the realm of environmen-tal quality, where such short-sighted notions as "the solution to pollution is dilution" can be heard. The key to avoiding this difficulty appears to lie in "the development of a holistic view of the world around us." The general trend in science and society at large is to do the oppo-site, to be more reductionistic, to dissect the problems into discrete units which can be handled more easily. We tend to quickly lose consciousness of both the relatedness and inter-actions between these units and make false assumptions about their singular significance. We end up giving priority to some factors which achieve this exalted status more from our parochial interest or because they are the ones we are equipped to deal with, rather than because of any innate value in themselves. We make issues of many items, granting them such singular importance that "Christ Himself would be con-cerned, if He knew all the facts." This frequently disconnects essential elements to the point where they escape the moderating, integrating and regulating influences about them. When one component is removed from its commitment to and cooperation with the whole, this "deci-sion" has serious effects on the remainder. When cells in living organisms do this, they are called cancers. The selfish charac-ter of singular priorities destroys proper functions and rela-tionships and often leads to invasion into domains which neither want it nor can restrain it effectively. We struggle to beat it back as we direct a whole barrage of rays and special potions at it, frequently to no avail. Usually the whole orga-nism ultimately succumbs and the very life goes out of it. Our theologies and spiritual lives often suffer from similar maladies. We tend to concentrate on units of activity such as daily devotions, church attendance, right behaviours, avoid-ance of temptation and the like. By frequent over-emphasis on isolated types of thought or behaviours, we pull apart the fabric of Christianity and weave some new type of cloth that covers only those areas of nakedness we feel are shameful, or adorn those parts which are surely to be glorified, while the other parts of the body remain exposed to the raw harshness of life. Even God becomes a "God of the gaps.," filling in the areas where lack of understanding or weaknesses remain, rather than being the permeating, filling presence in every moment and aspect of our lives that He desires to be. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul?" It makes little difference whether you call it community, cooperation, or some other word; the living relationship which flows from the human ability to love, together with the commitment to one another it requires— these constitute the cement which binds us to and links us within the Body of Christ. Dr. Art Lewis plans on using his 1614 Geneva Bible in his introductory Bible classes. Velie/photo "Breeches Bible" forms in to as shire, 1784 are two examples. • Lewis plans to take the Geneva Bible to the Univer-sity of Minnesota library and other libraries for evaluation. "It will give me an opportun-ity, an avenue, of sharing the Word of God," said Lewis. This year Lewis will be using the Bible in his fresh-man classes when they talk about Bible transmission. "It will show the students how the Bible has been preserved," said Lewis. The Geneva Bible or the "Breeches Bible" stands out because it is one of the most important translations of our time. "The translation found in Genesis 3:7 which uses "breeches" is the reason the Bible gets its nickname," said Lewis. Genesis 3:7 mentions where Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves to make clothes. The Geneva Bible was the first English Bible divided into verses and with study notes around the page. It was also the first Bible to be published in flexible wooden type in Scotland. The Bible contains a hymn-book, dictionary, many geo-graphical maps and an elabo-rate outline of the 12 tribes. Fastened with bronzed straps, the book weighs 5 pounds. The cowhide cover has been preserved and still has a faint trace of the original design. The pages, made of a heavy paper, are also in good con-dition. Some previous owners of this Bible wrote their names in it. Most of the names are faded; still, a few names and dates are recognizable. Eliza-beth Kipling, 1772, and Ed-ward Kellett Brigall _in York- By Sandy Holasek A Geneva Bible, dated 1614, was presented as a gift this summer to Dr. Art Lewis, pro-fessor in Biblical studies. Mrs. Frances Kramer Kapple, a per-sonal friend and concert viol-inist with the L'Abri Ensem-ble, gave the Bible to Lewis when the group was perform-ing a concert here in the area. The ancient Bible "repre-sents the light through the centuries—that God has not left us without his Word," said Lewis. He plans to write an article on the importance of this Bible. The Geneva Bible is important to Christian stu-dents because "it links us with the saints 400 to 500 years ago who were martyred to preserve God's Word," said Lewis. The Geneva Bible is in a glass-enclosed case outside of Lewis' office in the AC build-ing.

His personal collection, started back in the mid-1960 s, contains over 500 comic books. Schiffer also started a dealership two years ago which now contains in excess of over 12,000 books. Dealing in everything from Mighty Mouse to Superman, Schiffer has comic books dat-ing from the early 1940s to the present. His oldest per-sonal collectors' issue is Superman (edition 21) pub-lished in 1942. Superman is now on its 375th issue. The market price on his Super-man comic is about $75. Some comic books, like the first edi-tion of Batman, run over $10,000. "Some people do it (deal in 'comic books) for a living," CAAC, from page 3 CAAC works with the school calendar—holidays, starting and ending dates— and also handles senior gra-duation appeals. Some other student/faculty committees include the Ath-letic Advisory Committee, con-cerned with the proposed field-house; the Chapel and Spirit-ual Life Committee; the Con-vocation Committee; and the Public Affairs Policy Commit-tee, which views Bethel's re-lations with outside churches and organizations. The committees meet the second Tuesday of each month, with the fourth Tues-said Schiffer. "Far me, it's a hobby that pays for itself. As far as mass profit goes, I won't get rich or anything." "I liked comic books as a kid," said Schiffer. "I had a friend who always came over and read comic books to me before I could even read. Then I did a lot of comic book read-ing in my early to mid teens. The dealership got started when I was basically looking for comics for my own collec-tions, and got some I didn't want. I found out the comic book business was half-way profitable." Schiffer also attends con-ventions. "You set up your wares like a large flea mar-ket," said Schiffer. "Prices are determined by supply and de-mand. People participating in the convention range from those who can't see over the table to those collecting social security." Throughout his life-time, Schiffer estimated that he had read about 5,000 comic books. "I really don't have too much time to read them now, though," said Schiffer. day as an optional additional meeting time. Goodwin says that open-ings exist on most commit-tees. He welcomes students to express their interest to him concerning an opening. Holmes also encourages students to get involved. "Beth-el has a governance situation where a person might feel he can't get to the inside—that's why it's so important to have students actively participat-ing on committees," he said. "The faculty wants to give as much responsibility as pos-sible to the students. We great-ly 'value their contribution to our governance process." There are two main pub-lishers of comic books: Mar-vel, who created Sprderman and the Incredible Hulk, and DC Comics, who created Superman, Batman, and Won-der Woman. "Presently, the Marvel Comics are becoming more realistic with death, kill- .ing and heartache being com-mon themes," siad Schiffer. "When I was growing up, it was a fun world—the good guys always won. Comic books were a means of escape then, not like some of the blood and guts ones of today." The content of today's comic books is much more varied. Publishers are print-ing everything from those on salvation, to pornographic and X-rated comics. "A lot of criticism is going on in comic book writing today as to some of the content," said Schiffer. "It's a fun hobby: I enjoy it," - said Schiffer. "If anyone has a collection, and is interested in a little tuition money, come and see me." by Tammy Gregersen Writing papers is a task all college students must endure. The Writing Center, located in AC 320, is a place where students can get help when they are stumped with a paper. "I see the Writing Center as having a three-prong service," said Lynn Fauth, coordinator of the Writing Center. "First of all, it is to help students who do have ability to write a polished paper. We try to raise competent writers to excel-lence. This is the category that contains 95% of the students." "The second purpose is to help . students with very se-rious writing problems, but there are very few of them. When we do come 'across a person who needs a lot of help, either Anne Rosenthal- Siemers (assistant coordina-tor of the Writing Center) or I usually handle it. In other words, we help raise the few students who can't write to a level of competency." "Thirdly, although there are not many, we try to help excellent writers become su-perior," said Fauth. "Most schools have writing centers because they recog-nize the need," said Fauth. "Here at Bethel, we do a lot for very little. Our budget is very small. We don't get into gim-micks. The key to our effec-tiveness is the one-to-one help." Signing paychecks, giving the center credibility, and evangelizing Writing Center services among the faculty are some of the roles Fauth and Rosenthal-Siemers play as the coordinators. They also play a major part in hiring the staff. "Basically I look for two things in a tutor," said Fauth. "I'm looking for competent writers and understanding people. The tutors are also learning writers and must work at it. They must under-stand the struggles of the client, see the need, and help it." Rosenthal-Siemers said, "We help writers express their own ideas more clearly. The most valuable service the tutors have to offer is to read the student's paper so the stu-dent can see it through the eyes of someone else." Karen Coleman, a tutor in the Writing Center, said, "There are a lot of facets con-nected with the Writing Cen-ter. I see my job as helping people formulate, organize, and support ideas and make those ideas understandable to others. In other words, we can help anybody at any stage in writing a paper. In addi-tion, we can help students with spelling and grammati-cal problems." "Because writing is an indi-vidual and personal art, it is important for us to recognize that each person has an indi-vidual style," said Coleman. "No matter what a student's competency level in writing is, it always is helpful to have a second opinion," said Cole-man, "often just for reassu-rance that you're on the right track." "We're not here to cut down a student's writing," said Cole-man. "We understand the prob-lems and we're here to help. We all go through the same difficulties and fears." Apartment Searching?

The St. Thomas team conquered the tough and hilly course for first place. A 26:21 clocking gave Wal-by Tammy D. Frink Participation in intramural sports is much greater this year than last. Tempest Nix-on and Craig Haugen, Bethel's intramural student directors, work with six student super-visors to organize the pro-gram. Under the direction of George Palke, assistant pro-fessor in physical education, the staff serves the Bethel community. Increased publicity is said to have had an impact on the positive turnout. An oppor-tunity fair was held during Welcome Week, where the in-tramural program sponsored a booth for the first time. The men have always had a big part in the activities, said Nixon and Haugen, but this year more emphasis will be on female involvement. A change which may help sup-port this emphasis is the movement of women's open league basketball from inte-rim to fall. Since broomball is a major interim sport in which many women partici-pate, the change is hoped to wvb, from page 8 Book again made mention of the play of Pam Madson, who she said "has been very, very consistent for us this year." Book hopes to work on team consistency, and the team's continuous execution during games. "We need to be able to exe-lace his 7th place finish. Sec-ond man for the Royals was Rich Whybrew in 24th place and Tom Plocker followed in 27th. Matt Simpsons and Jeff Velasco filled out the varsity, taking 49th and 65th, res-pectively. Varsity regulars John Clark and Mark Channer did not race last weekend because, said Coach Whittaker, "we're resting these last two weeks encourage more female in-volvement in other intramu-ral activities. The main goal of Bethel's intramural sports program is increased participation to cre-ate a good fellowship. "We're not looking necessarily as to who wins," says Haugen, "but to improve students physical-ly as well as socially." "We'd like to look at it as more than a 'jock atmos-phere,' placing importance on a sense of cooperation," adds Nixon. With the exception of one member, the intramural staff is entirely new this year. Both Haugen and Nixon admit that they are experimenting with trial and error. Some new ideas in mind for this year include floor hockey for men which would take place in February or March, and also the possibility of wrist wrestling for both men and women. They are hoping to see co-ed softball continue this spring as last year was the first time it had been offer-ed to the Bethel student body. cute without a high level of emotion," said Book, "or else we get exhausted and make mistakes we wouldn't usually make.

"Jimmy had one of the most spectacular days I've seen him have," said Lutton of his all-conference linebacker. While the defense managed to hold off Concordia for much of the game, the offense had trouble trying to penetrate the MIAC's top defense. The Royals never had a good scor-ing opportunity and failed to get inside Concordia's 30-yard line. The most consistent offen-sive play was throwing the ball to end Byron Johnson, whether it came from the arm of Steve Doten or Rhett Bon-ner. Johnson had seven catches for 115 yards as Doten and Bonner alternated at the quarterback spot. Lutton realized that his team, comprised of mostly freshmen and sophomores, still has a way to go but thinks his program is headed in the right direction. "One of these days we'll be able to play with them (Con-cordia) and I think that day will come sooner than later," he said.

Woodward/photo page 8 the Clarion october 22, 1982 sports by Sandy Holasek Bethel women's soccer has started its third season with a 2 - 1 record. The 24 women in the club are coached by Tom Persico, senior. Two years ago Persico and others decided that women should have a soccer program. A plan for a women's soccer club was brought before Stu-dent Senate and George Palke, assistant professor in physi-cal education, in fall 1980. Two months later, women's soccer was approved and it began in the spring of 1981. It was hard to find schools to compete with in the spring so this year women's soccer was switched to fall. The rea-son, according to Persico, was because all the MIAC schools were turning varsity and play-ing in the fall. Although many of the play-ers are new, Persico said he admires the effort they put in the game. "I have never seen such quality and joy—their energy is encouraging to see." The main goal is to establish team unity and fellowship with one another on the field. Included in that goal is "serv-ing the Lord and being a wit-ness to the other schools," according to Persico. Women's soccer club plays against the private schools in the area, and some state schools such as the U of M and St. Cloud. According to Persico, many of the teams it has gone up against are expe-rienced and tough. In the up-coming games "they might be surprised that we have a lot of talent on the team," he said. In the future, Persico would like to see the club become a team. As a team, women's soccer would have a budget, which Persico said would "ease things all around by supplying uniforms and gas money." The next women's soccer game will be Saturday, Oct. 23 at the U of M. Bethel's Steve Figini showed some head's up play in the Royals 1-0 loss to second-ranked Sangamon State on Oct. 16. Goalie Doug Fauth (center) and Jeff Krause defend on the play. Velie/photo Johnson's trio trips Tommies in shut-out win by John Lilleberg The soccer team upped its conference- record to 6-0- 2 with a solid 3 -0 win over a tough St. Thomas squad. The shut-out victory, the Royals' second this season, was high-lighted by impressive defen-sive play. Playing particularly well defensively were sweeper Steve Figini and outside full-back Steve Schottmuller. All three Bethel goals were scored by Mark Johnson. Johnson scored late in the first half then added two more in the second half. Two of the goals were set up by Bobby Clark; Mark Schlenker as-sisted with the other. Assistant Coach Andy Larson noted, "The defense played well," and added, "It wasn't a real pretty game— but we won." On Oct. 23 the Royals play the Oles at St. Olaf. This is followed by the long-awaited clash against the Johnnies at St. John's on Wednesday, Oc-tober 27. Bethel soccer club starts third season Royals manage to contain Cobbers... temporarily by John Clark Bethel football coach Dud Lutton hopes he never devel-ops a taste for losing, but after holding the defending national champions to one touchdown for almost three quarters he was pleased with his Royal team even in defeat. The final score was 28-0 in favor of the Concordia Cob-bers in the game played Oct. 17. The game, scheduled to be ,played at Moorhead, was moved to Fargo due to poor field conditions. "I felt better about this game than a lot of games we've played this year," said Lutton of the Concordia contest. "Sometimes the scoreboard is a little irrelevant to good play." In this case the scoreboard was irrelevant in two ways. The game was close until Con-cordia scored late in the third quarter to take a 14-0 lead. If not for a steller defensive per-formance by the Bethel de-fense, the game could have been a total blowout, wit-nessed by the Cobbers 474- 193 advantage in total offense. Concordia scored the first time it had the ball, marching 96 yards to take a 7-0 lead. It was a long time, however, before the Cobbers saw the light of the end zone. Three minutes remained in the third quarter when Concordia iced the game with its second TD. "They certainly are a very, very good team," stated Lut-ton. "It was difficult to keep them out of the end zone. We just got worn down." The key for Bethel was forc-ing the Cobbers to make long drives rather than turn the ball over and allow for quick scores. "I think our offense did a good job of handling the ball and controlling the offense," said Lutton. "The big thing for us was that we made them travel the length of the field." see page 7 Spikers sweep three, gain conference confidence by Todd Erickson A sweep of three matches during the week did wonders for the Royal volleyball team's confidence, to say nothing of its conference standing. Bethel now stands at 6- 1 in the conference, one game be-hind undefeated Macalester; after disposing of St. Thomas, Augsburg, and Concordia. The Royals began the week with a grueling five-game match against St. Thomas, coming from behind to win 5- 15, 10- 15, 15-8, 15-9, and 15- 3. "St. Thomas had a really quick offense," said Coach Cindy Book, "and we honestly weren't ready for it." Book cited some defensiye, adjustments and some strong team confidence as reasons for the Royals' encouraging comeback. Book also made mention of the stand-out play of Shelly Sorenson, Pam Madson, and Katy Rott during the highly emotional struggle against the Tommies. The second match of the week, against Augsburg, was "an excellent match," accord-ing to Book, with Bethel vic-tories in four games, 6- 15, 15- 10, 15- 11, and 15- 11. "Pat Jones played the best game I've ever seen her play," said Book. Bethel struggled a bit more than Book thought they should have against Concordia, drop- . ping the Rame before winning 12-15, 15-8, 16-14, and 16-14. "That was a tough game for us mentally, probably more than anything else," said Book. She was referring to the two highly-emotional matches earlier in the week, and how it was hard to hold that level of play on a Friday match. "We certainly can play bet-ter," said Book of the Concor-dia match, "but again, that desire to win was there, and we just held tough." The Royals were down 1- 10 in the third game of that match, but proved how they could "hang tough" by out-scoring the Cobbers 15-4 from that point. see page 7 |
