With one stop to go, it's Brushaber ahead
by Jo Ann Watkins
Dean George Brushaber
was unanimously ap-proved
as candidate for
president of Bethel College
by the Board of Regents,
Brushaber will be pres-ented
by I he board at the
annual convention of the
Baptist General Confer-ence.
President Carl Lund-quist
will retire following
the 1981-82 academic year.
Approval of the candidate
by the convention dele-gates
is the last stop of the
search for Lundquist's re-placement.
The convention
will be held June 28 - July
1 in Omaha, Neb.
Work began in March
1980 when a committee
was appointed to begin a
search for a candidate.
Originally scheduled to be
completed in a year, the
committee had not nar-rowed
its choice down
by the deadline. The Board
of Regents granted an ex-tension
until May 4, when
they arranged a special
by Joy Nannette Banta
Bet hers 110th commence-ment
exercises are well on
their way to becoming
reality. About 370 young
men and women (the num-ber
has yet to be finalized)
will walk across the plat-form
Sunday afternoon,
May 24, and receive their
diplomas, marking com-pletion
of I heir under-meeting.
The Presidential Search
Committee consisted of
four members of the Board
of Regents; Gerald Healy,
a representative from the
college faculty; a repre-sentative
from the semi-nary
faculty, Millard Erick-son;
and a representative-at-
large from the confer-ence.
The committee's first
steps were to develop a
job description and deter-mine
the personal criteria
for the candidates, accord-ing
to committee member
Gordon Lindquist. The
"Preliminary Criteria/Pro-file"
prepared by the com-mittee
inclucred character-istics
related to academic
background, Christian ex-perience,
church activity
and affiliation; administra-tive
abilities, personal
strengths, educational ob-jectives
and public rela-tions
skills. Gerald Healy
said that one aspect that
makes the job different
from others is that the per-graduate
education.
Plans are taking their
final form for the bacca-laureate
and commence-ment
programs, as well as
t he commencement dinner
sponsored by the alumni
office. A commit tee of nine
seniors decided the order
of each program and chose
students from the grad-uating
class lo participate
in the ceremonies. The
son is president of both a
liberal arts and theologi-cal
school.
During the summer,
names were solicited
through churches, the con-ference
and other schools.
The committee received
names of over 50 people.
The list of candidates was
reduced to eight names by
examination and screen-ing
against the job des-committee
also selected
faculty and administra-tion
members to partici-pate
in specific parts of
the program.
The theme of commence-ment
weekend is taken-from
Matthew 22:34-40,
where Jesus speaks of lov-ing
God with all our hearts
and souls and minds. Joy
Banta has been chosen to
read the scripture during
cription and the personal
criteria. Interviews fur-ther
reduced the number
of candidates to three.
Those three went through
further interviews. Lind-quist
said that one candi-date
withdrew and thus
left the choice between two
people. The Presidential
Search Committee unani-mously
recommended pre-senting
Brushaber to the
the baccalaureate.
Three seniors will give
their testimonies during
baccalaureate as well: Jeff
Magnuson, Ken Totushek
and one yet to be named.
Chosen to give the sen-ior
tribute at commence-ment
was Caryl Brown,
and Marilyn Starr, dean
of women, was asked to
give a Mentor's Response
following Brown's re-marks.
The prayer of dedica-tion
for the seniors at
commencement will be
given by Steve Simpson,
professor in business. The
invocation and benedic-tion
at commencement
will be given by Professor
of English Dan Taylor and
senior Larry Meegan, res-pectively.
President Carl
Lundquist and Barbara
Glenn, associate professor
of art, will bring the invo-cation
and benediction,
respectively, at bacca-laureate.

This is an eyewitness
account of the El Salvador
solidarity march in Wash-ington,
D.C., attended by
Bethel students Sonya Ol-sen
and Patti Dobson.
May 3 over 100,000 peo-ple
gathered at the Lincoln
Memorial in Wahsington,
D.C., to march to the Pen-tagon
in protest of U.S. aid
to the junta in El Salvador.
The demonstration was
organized by the People's
Anti-War Mobilization
(PAM), which is a coali-tion
of anti-war, civil
rights, labor, student, re-ligious,
women, gay and
lesbian, disabled, elderly,
tenants, welfare rights
and many other grass
roots people's movements.
PAM was protesting not
only U.S. involvement in
El Salvador, but also Rea-gan's
proposed cuts in so-cial
programs and the rise
of racism in our nation.
Many prominent speak-ers
addressed the crowds,
among them Salvadorean
Democratic Revolutionary
Front member Arnaldo
Ramos, PAM organizer
Larry HOlmes, and former-
Congresswoman Bella
Abzug.
The demonstration was
well-organzed, orderly
and peaceful, despite at-tempt

Brushaber to the
annual convention.
At the convention other
candidates may be nomi-nated.

to committee mem-ber
Warren Eastland, will

retirement.
groups to ignite violence
and disruption: a group
affiliated with the Unifica-tion
ChurCh marched
through the crowds with
banners yelling "pro-Rea-gan"
and militaristic
chants. Though insults
were exchanged,' no vio-lence
erupted.
The PAM demonstra-tion
is said to have been
the largest peace protest
since the Vietnam era. A
wide diversity of econom-ic
groups, races and ages
were represented. Al-though
Associated Press
has released figures stat-ing
that there were 20-
25,000 participants, eye-witnesses
and official
sources at the Pentagon
place the number at over
100,000.
The protest began at 11
a.m. with a rally at the
green next to the Lincoln
Memorial. At 1:30 the
march began to the Pen-tagon.
It took nearly three
hours for a column
six to ten people wide to
cross the Arlington Mem-orial
Bridge. PAM's objec-tive
in organizing the
protest was to demon-strate
the united and
broad-based movement
against the U.S. war build-up
and its links to social
cuts, unemployment and
the draft.

editorial
Motivation aimed at fun
not last-ditch studying
Right now the tank is on empty. It's hard to know
what to write about. The tendency is, recognizing that
the end of the year is approaching, to want to blast
Bethel for all it is worth. A sort of here's-our-chance-to-say-
everything-we've-always-wanted-to-say kind of
story.
But no, that just won't work. On the other hand, we
would be hard pressed to merely write for the uplift-ment
of the masses. With all of the pressures pinned on
us two weeks before the semester's end, that would be
almost hypocritical, and most certainly not heartfelt.
So we sit, wondering what to say. Our motivation
level is below zero. Spring has set itself smack-dab in
the middle of our study corner. We want to get on with
the business of Frisbee, sunbathing, bare feet in the
grass and kites. Some call it spring fever, others seniori-tis
or plain and simple let-me-out-of-this-place blues.
There are about 370 almost-graduates just itching to
grab that diploma out of President Lundquist's hand
and make a mad dash out Bethel's doors. They are
impatient to be free, but in the meantime they force
themselves into some semblance of scholarliness.
We are ready to scream bloody murder and throw the
books out the window. We want to blame on anybody
other than ourselves for our restlessness and unwilling-ness
to put our noses to the grinding stone. It's got to be
somebody else's fault; it couldn't be our own. Oops,
somebody goofed. Wonder who...
It's hard to find the good in this mess. The end of a
year is always hard to plow through. Some people
won't calmly persist in the effort; they will raise a
ruckus intended only to make a commotion, and make
themselves feel better—temporarily. The patient and
persistent people will make no final mark for them-selves
before bidding adieu.
We'll make it. We will find rest for the weary. All of
the seniors will make it to commencement, the juniors
will embark o their final trek to graduation, none the
worse for wear, the sophomores will move into the
second period of the collegiate game and the freshmen
will finally be able to enjoy the status of under-classmen.
It might seem impossible—we will probably laugh at
the whole thing ten years from now—but the end is in
sight. We will just keep on learning, from our own
mistakes and from the wisdom of good friends. It's
almost over. If it's any comfort, they say hindsight is
20/20.

The press has obvious-ly

Dear Sirs:
We are distressed by
violence taking place in El
Salvador. Amnesty Inter-national
and the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of
San Salvador have attrib-uted
over 80 per cent of
the 14,000 killings since
January 1980 to Salvado-ran
government secUrit y
forces and other military
organizations directly re-lated
to those forces. We
are appalled that the t Ini-ted
States would aid a
government whose mili-tary
forces are at war with
their -own people.
We ask that you work
fora non-military solution
to this atrocity. The Demo-cratic
Revolutionary Front
(FDR) has offered to nego-tiate
a settlement. .0ther
governments and interna-tional
organizations have
offered a settlement. Other
governments and interna-tional
organizations have
offered to mediate. Presi-dent
Duarte and the Sal-vadoran
junta have no rea-son
to negotiate as long as
they are supported by the
United States.
Specifically, we ask that
you remove all [LS. mil-itary
advisors from El Sal-vador.
We also ask Ihat
you suspend all military
and economic aid to the
Salvadoran junta. The
United Slates can, by do-ing
these things, help end
the terrible violence and
facilitate a peaceful path
to self-determination for
the people of El Salvador.

`Sure enuf' optimism keeps Lundquist on the job
President for 27 years
by Joy Nannette Banta
That he is only one of
four presidents, or that he
has held the same office
for 27 years, or that he is a
full-blooded Swede might
not serve to set him apart
from other capable and
long-serving leaders. But
couple those facts with a
pervasive sense of opti-mism,
and Carl Lundquist
stands out in the crowd.
The president of Bethel
college for the last 27
years, and for only one
more, is a man of foresight
and great expectations.
Why has Carl Lundquist
stayed at Bethel for so
long? "I enjoy the chal-lenge
of being on the cut-ting
edge (of God's work),"
Lundquist said. "After 27
years I believe that it
(Bethel) is still the great-est
opportunity for the
church," he added.,
And, he believes, Bethel
is one of the more ideal
Christian academic set-tings
in the country. He
described it as a commun-ity
with a strong sense of
community and rapport—
a rapport that he has built
and maintained over the
years.
Lundquist came to Be-thel
in 1953 from a ten-year
pastorate of about
500 members at Elim Bap-tist
Church, Chicago. He
was active in conference
work serving on the Board
of Home Missions from
1945 - 1953, and as execu-tive
secretary of the Board
of Trustees of the BGC.
Born of Swedish pa-rents,
Lundquist was
raised in South Dakota.
He received his Bachelor
of Divinity from Sioux
Falls College, S.D., his
Master of Theology at
Eastern Baptist Theologi-cal
Seminary in Philadel-phia
and his Doctorate in
homiletics and preaching
from Northern Theological
Seminary, Chicago.
Administration has
been one of Lundquist's
knacks ever since high
school when he first head-ed
his church young peo-ple's
group and was cho-sen
president of the South
Dakota Young People's
Society. He also served as
president of • the student
association at Sioux Falls
College.
It was no accident that
Lundquist came to Bethel.
"I felt a sense of God's call.
I knew that it was the
Lord's leading to come to
Bethel," he said. Since then
he has received much sat-isfaction
from shaping the
lives and values of young
people. The educational
climate has become a per-manent
part of his life.
Bethel has grown up
since Lundquist came to
Bethel. There has been a
constant changing of atti-tudes
among both stu-dents
and faculty—libera-lizing,
one might say. But,
according to Lundquist,
his own sense of relation-ship
with fa.culty and stu-dents
has allowed the
changes to take place with-out
upsetting the balance
of a Christian community.
"I have always relied on
people joining our com-munity
who share the
same ideas that I do—that
the community does—
those people who would
contribute to the commun-ity
and reflect my own
spirit," he said.
At the same time,
though, Lundquist recog-nizes
that Bethel is a
community dedicated to
developing young lives. "I
want young people to de-velop
their own convic-tions,
to become self-re-liant.
Bethel needs to be a
place of growth for them,
a place that allows them
their freedom, but at the
same time provides gui-dance
from the faculty,"
Lundquist commented.
The phrase "Sure enuf,
let's do it!" gained popu-larity
among students two
years ago during the twen-ty-
fifth anniversary of
Lundquist's presidency.
Does the phrase really
describe the man? "Yes, it
does in terms of it being a
phrase I use. It reflects my
_spirit of confidence in the
future and the omnipo-tence
of God," he said.
Summing up his whole
outlook he said, "The
question is not whether
we can do it, but is God in
it?" That is what Carl
Lundquist is all about.
One of Lundquist's deep
concerns is that what he
does pleases the Lord, and
then, if all is right, that
people will be pleased.
"But that (how people per-ceive
me) is not so impor-tant,"
he said.
How students perceive
him is a result of what he
does. Most of his efforts,
as he said, "go outward."
He tries to remedy the
problem of being away
from campus one-third of
the time by teaching at the
seminary as much as pos-sible,
leading seminary re-treats,
'guest lecturing at
the college, having student
leaders into his home and
office, and extending an
open-ended invitation to
students—especially the
new ones—to come .visit
his office (he has about
100 students accept the
invitation every year).
"I would like to be with
students more, but my
other demands preclude
that desire," Lundquist
said. He leads retreats and
seminars all across the
country and even the
world. He is always in-volved
in fund-raising for
the college and the semi-nary.
And, probably most
importantly, he constant-ly
strives to develop and
maintain the friends of
Bethel, especially the
"warm, personal" ones.
Demands are placed on
his time as president of
both the college and semi-nary.

and societies are sep-arate

which he serves. The catch
comes because these
groups "tie in only through
the president's office," he
said. No other college ad-ministrator
could be an
alternate..
The president travels
about a half million miles
every year on behalf of the
school. He was in Califor-nia
last month and will
travel to Seattle, British
Columbia, London and the
southern part of the Uni-ted
States within the next
few months.
In 25 years of service
some of Lundquist's great-est
satisfaction has come
in watching the college
settle into its new campus,
but there were moments
of doubt about the new
campus. "We began the
building program without
adequate funding. At one
point we thought that the
whole project might have
to be called off, but we
went ahead and the money
came in," said Lundquist.
When Lundquist came
to Bethel it was a provin-cial
school, -Unaccepted
and small. It was part of
the BGC but was relative-ly
unknown. But it has
grown. "The school is
more enthusiastic now
than in the beginning,"
Lundquist said. More and
more students want to
come to Bethel today, and
"we have strength in our
faculty, and. our depart-ments
are strong." On top
of that the seminary pro-gram
has expanded great-
I y with a notable field ed-ucation
program. "We
have the strongest minis-try
education in the coun-try,"
said Lundquist.
"Bethel," said Lund-quist,
summing up his
feelings about . the school,
"is an educational insitu-tion
that is the arm of the
Church." There is always
a struggle going on, but
yet there remains "intel-lectual
and devotional main-tenance
wi hin the school."
Lundquist is generally
optimistic about the pre-sent
and the future. And
he was an optimist in the
past as well. Part of his
optimism is an outgrowth
of the support he has re-ceived
from his wife and
family. "I have a very un-derstanding
wife (Nancy)
who shares the same goals
that I have," he said. She is
also striving to serve
Christ, and she "has en-tered
in a great way (into
my work)."
Three of Lundquist's
four children chose to go
to Bethel. "We didn't tell
them they had to come
here," said Lundquist.
"They said that they want-ed
to go to the best college,
and that, they said, was
Bethel."
Though Lundquist must
retire as president next
year when he turns 65, he
expects to stay active with
and for the college. 'Twill
be moving sideways, not
out, and will assist the
new president as presi-dent
emeritus," he said.
"Age 65 does not mean
retirements from Christ."
"I want to do everything
I can do to be supportive
of the new president," he
said. " Together we can
lead Bethel to new heights
of accomplishment."
Without a doubt, Carl
Lundquist will continue to
serve in Christian higher
education as long as the
Lord allows him. His op-timistic
outlook and sin-cere
dedication to Bethel
will not let him stop.
Bethel might be the arm
of the Church, but Carl
Lundquist has long been
the backbone of Bethel.
And if you ask him if some
far-off goal can midis ti-cally
be achieved for Be-thel,
he will undoubtedly
reply, "Sure enuf, let's do
it!" Thai's Carl Lundquist.

The first of the shows will
open in late June.
Jeff Miller, theatre arts
instructor, will prepare
one of the department's
plays for next fall, Bertal
Brecht's "The Caucasian
Chalk Circle." "This show
is unusual," said Miller.

Those who visit the Be-thel
art gallery (or get lost
on the second floor of the
Fine Arts building) will
find a widely varied exhi-bit
on display. The second
senior show of the semes-ter
features works by Su-san
Anderson, Robert Goe-bel,
Gail Onstad, Pam
Sprecher, Susan K. Stone
and Nancy Stromgren.
Pieces currently on dis-play
include paintings,
prints, photographs (black-and-
white and color) and
hanging thread sculptures.
The paintings are in oil,
acrylic, watercolor and
gouache (half-ink, half
paint). The prints dis-played
are printed from
wood cuts, etchings and
cork.
The first senior exhibit
this semester ended April
24 and featured two Be-thel
seniors, Cathy Lind-quist
and Donald Nelson.
The third show—by Sandi
Covert, Jane Karpe, Re-becca
Lindstrom, Juan Or-tiz,
Scott Robertz, Jay Rus-sell
and Dawn Seiford 7-
begins May 11.
The senior exhibits help
art majors complete their
graduation requirements
and can be the climax of
their art studies. A show
or a portfolio serves as the
final examination for art
senior seminar.
By guiding the students
toward definite goals, the
seminar fosters growth in
students' individual style.
"The purpose of the senior
seminar (in art) is to de-velop
a cohesive body of
work...selecting one basic
theme," saidDale Johnson,
this semester's senior sem-inar
art instructor. The
works should reflect the
common theme as well as
the personalities of the
students.

TO BE.
by Shari Goddard
'Cute' best describes the
performance of "Hans
Christian Andersen Tales,"
by the Bethel theatre de-partment.
From the set of
gingerbread houses, to the
dances and stories, cute
reigned.
Using a different narra-tor
for each of the six tales,
the cast created a story-telling
atmosphere that fit
nicely with the circular
sealing. Watching from
chairs or synthetic-grass
covered ledges, audience
members surrounded the
actors, allowing interac-tion.
"The Ugly Duckling," by
far the strongest tale, spark-led
with humor and wit. It
was here that actors liter-ally
unfurled their wings
and achieved the slapstick
quality needed for this
theatre style.
Pamela Freeman and
130 I y Bronson gave st rung
performances as the moth-er
trek and ugly duckling
respectively. Breaking out
of three too-similar roles.
Kay Sievert brought hu-mor
and individuality to
the hen and head-duck
roles.
Folk costumes added to
the admosphere of Scan-dinavia,
as did the folk
(lances. However, I kept
wishing for clogs during
the stomping dances.
While at times unimagina-tive,
the lighting had mom-ents
of creative inspira-tion.
Lights in "The Tinder-box"
had the bright, dra-matic
quality best fitting
children's theatre, such as
the "Tales."
One cannot compare this
performance to the depth
of "The Crucible," but Ihen,
One is not meant to. Hans
Christian Andersen wrote
his fairy tales for children,
and one must watch with
the wonder of a child.

Wayne Erickson has his
own goals for Bethel's food
service, one of them a com-puterized

system to do away with
food cards. But the food
by Kenneth E. Goudy
During the past term I have sat in the presence of a
small group of students who have literally agonized
over the question of whether or not they should offi-cially
revoke their commitment to abide by the Bethel
lifestyle policy, a commitment required of every Bethel
student. I have witnessed their honesty and integrity as
they talked about their own behavior, the behavior of
other students and the impact of the lifestyle policy
upon us and those oulside of Bethel. Their decision not
to revoke their commitment was primarily the result of
a sense of fruStration and futility.
As a result of this "learning experience," I have
become convinced that our current lifestyle policy no
longer serves to enlumm our life together and is in need
of change. The following are some of my reasons for
this conviction:
1.Presumably the policy is intended to insure certain
behavior on the part of Bet hers communit y members. It
is time I ha I we acknowledge that it, in fact, fails to do
this for a significant proportion of the students.
(Faculty behavior is more difficult to observe because
our lives are ntore private.)
2. The policy places some of 0111' students in quite
undesireable circumstances al times because of the
behavior pal terns of their Families and non-Bethel close
friends.
3. The lifestyle policy tends to be in(lentifie(1 with
Bethel's view of Christian behavior even though this is
obviously uninten(led. The assertion that the rules are
"based on biblical principals" may contribute to this
problem.
4. The presence of the policy seems to result in a
failure on our part as a group of Christians 14) address
the weightier issues of following Christ which are less
easily identified and measured.
5. The policy militates against diversity of people at
Bethel. While this appears to be one of its intentions, I
believe that our life together is diminished by a lack of
diverse expressions of Christian life and witness.
I I herefore call upon the student, [actin y and admin-istration,
and regent leaders lo develop and commit
themselves lo a process in which we as n community ,
openly and honestly examine the impact of I lie current
Hest yle policy. This process Illighl include panel dis-cussion,
position statements and their critical discus-sion,
research, commtmily-wide small group discus-sions,
open forums, etc., as well as the more formal
processes of decision making. Regardless of pro-cesses
used, I believe It is essential that it be a
c ►m►►nity-wide process.
Finally, I would offer some suggested changes: .
I. If we want a biblical basis for our behavior policy,
111,1! should limit ourselves to the behavior which !he
13ible emphasizes such as love, mercy, forgiveness, jus-tice,
honesty, inimorali I y, lack of self-control, et(;.
2. If behavior rules al't' necessary, they 511(1(11(1 not be
justified on biblical ,grounds since this contributes to
the idea that a certain set of rules are marks of Christian
behavior.
3. The behavior rules should not be extended to apply

The new system store's $400,000 and hous-to
non-Bethel social set tings. They should only be rules
which are helpful for our life together here at Bethel.
4. We should once and for all make clear that Bethel
administrators, faculty, and staff are not surrogate par-ents.
People coming to Bethel as students should be
viewed and treated CIS responsible adults who make
daily decisions-and live with the consequences of those
decisions (the philosophy of my public high school in
the 1950s).
5. We need to address ourselves to the more fundamen-tal
(radical) issues of the meaning of the sovereign
lordship for Jesus Christ in higher education. How are
the principles of the Kingdom of God manifested in the
academic, business and social relationships in a liberal
arts college?
6. We need to have a policy which recognizes the fact
that God makes himself known in various ways at
various limes and place, and that his followers will
therefore develop diverse and enriching ways of res-ponding
to God's revelation to them. If such a policy
results in more cultural diversity among us, we will all
be enriched in our understanding of God and have more
opport un ties to experience the uniting power of the
"good news" which overcomes cultural barriers and
unites people in Christ.
I believe 0111' current lifestyle policy contributes to
much individual and corporate hypocrisy, a quality
which Jesus severely censured. The time has come for
us to take an honest look at ourselves to make some
appropriate changes.

Maturing... Barker becomes state champ
but hot B-B
loses captain
by Mark Wollan
The Royal baseball team
had both an exciting and
disappointing week last
week, competing in three
conference games.
It started out well, with
the Royals defeating the
conference leaders, the
Hamline Pipers, by a score
of 2-1. The game was call-ed
in the fifth inning due
to rain.
Assistant Coach John
Priestly said, "We're hot!
We're maturing, and we
are building a foundation
for the future."
The Royals then com-peted
Saturday afternoon
and split a double header
with St. Olaf, 4 - 1 and 3-
15. Jeff Wilson pitched a
strong first game for Beth-el.
Last week's performance
lifted the Royals confer-ence
record to 6- 7. They
are 12-11 overall.
The disappointing part
of the week came Satur-day
during warm-ups
when captain Paul Lind-berg
was lost for the re-mainder
of the season with
a separated shoulder. Lind-berg
had surgery Monday.
Priestly expects the
team to finish very suc-cessfully.
There is still a
possibility that the Royals
will make the playoffs if
they win their remaining
four games.

The men's track team
pulled it all together last
Saturday, finishing second
in the meet at Waseca.
Coach Dave Anderson
said, "We had some of our
best performances of the
year...everyone had fine
performances. It was a
rewarding meet, and the
team unity was exciting to
see." Captain Paul Otto
was named "Outstanding
Male Runner" of the meet
due to his first place in
both the 100-yard dash
(10.65) and the 220-yard
dash (21.45). Otto's 220
time set a new Bethel
record.
Bethel's javelin throw-ers
also received special
recognition. Roger Sulli-van,
Ken Cooper and Jay
Constable were named
"Outstanding Field Event
Relay" after winning the
javelin relay and setting
new meet and stadium
records.
Other Bethel first places
• were by Constable in the
Sprinters Severson and D.
Burgess finished third and
fifth respectively in the
100-yard dash and third
and seventh in the 200-
yard clash. Kathy Kvam
improved in the shot put
for a fifth place finish.
Many of the Bethel
women that did not place
in the meet nevertheless
set personal records in
their events. Coaches Cin-dy
Book and Howie Kel-logg
were pleased with the
team's overall improve-ments
and attitudes. They
said the season has been a
very positive and success-ful
one, on the scoreboard
as well as in the growth
and unity of the women's
track program.

Mike Dirks and

relay of Dirks,
VanLoon, Jorgenson and

Exceptional personal

Greg Stevens. Murphy
won the triple jump in 42

his previous best. Fresh-man
Stevens showed im-provement
by placing
