Over 20 courses have been proposed for the two summer sessions. The first session begins May 27 through June 19 and the second session, which is made up of evening class-by. Ginger Hope The Bethel theatre arts department will present "Hans Christian Andersen Tales," a medley of Danish folk tales, in conjunction with the Scandinavia-orient-ed spring fine arts festival. The tales, adapted and directed by Douglas Briggs, assistant professor of thea-tre arts, will be performed April 30, May 1 - 2, 5 -9, at 8 p.m. with additional per-formances at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on May 2 and 9. The play includes "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Tinder Box," "The By JoAnn Watkins "Ski)" na Maj, Valkom-men." welcome beautiful spring, is the theme of the spring festival concert cen-tered around the fine arts. A breakfast, an art dis-play, a play, a bonfire and a concert are just some of the activities that will high-light May 1 and 2. The welcoming of spring is a Scandinavian tradi-tion. The 24-hour festival is celebrated on universi-ty campuses in Sweden beginning on the last night of April. The purpose of the celebration is to throw off winter's gloom and wel-come spring. "The main thrust," said associate pro-fessor of music Mary Fall, "is a unifying Bethel week-end." A Bethel student was raped Tuesday night, April 14, in the gravel mainte-nance parking lot behind Edgren and Bodien dorms. Police are investigating the crime, which happened at 9:30 p.m. "This incident had uni-que circumstances, so we cannot say that a rapist is running around campus looking for anyone," said Marilyn Starr, dean of women. "The rapist is not a Bethel student and it was not done at random. Starr warned that wom-en should be careful after dark. "Incidents of this • sort, unfortunately, serve to remind us to be wise in our after dark activities, be it jogging or parking a The Scandinavian theme for spring festival is part of the emphasis on Bethel's Scandinavian heritage sug-gested by President Lund-quist.

An art display donated by the Swedish Institute of Min-neapolis will be on dis-play at various places in the school. Bethel senior art exhibits can be viewed car." According to Torn Cor-rell, professor of anthro-pology, there have been at least three other rapes this school year. He added that he doubts that number is all-inclusive. Correll will teach an interim course on sex crimes next year, a repeat of his interim class this year. Starr said that last year a campus visitor was raped. Correll said he has known of at least one rape each year. Starr said she is trying to arrange'for a cam-pus speaker, in the next couple of weeks, to talk about rape. A 1976 article, "Rape & Self Defense," said 70 per cent of all rapes are from 6 to 9 p.m. in the art gallery. The exhibit open-ing will be highlighted with a reception and musi-cians. The theatre department will be presenting Hans Christian Andersen Tales at 8 p.m. Friday and at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available at the ticket booth by the theatre. The activities for the first day of May will end with a bonfire sponsored by the Campus Coordina-tors. The bonfire is a late night tradition of Scandin= a via and offers songs, games, and treats.

We have traditions for how to eat, how to speak, even how to wear our clothes," said Tevye, the "If I Were a Rich Man" of Fiddler on the Roof. "For without tradition our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof." Traditions are an interesting phenomena. Their ori-gin is either unknown or half truth, half myth. They contribute to the cohesiveness of a group of people, be it a family or a whole nation. Their presence can also contribute to heartache and revolution when a member of the group skwirms to break the mold, as in the plot of Tevye's story. Well, Bethel has traditions, too. Swedish traditions. The school has been educating students in Swedish traditions throughout the year. It began with Festival of Christmas and Santa Lucia's sun rise tea and yulekaka: on. December 13. Coming May 1 and 2 Skona Maj, Valkommen events. The days will include Scandina-vian sweets and smorgasbord, Scandinavian parades and "people-festivals" and Scandinavian Hans Chris-tian Andersen tales told to us by the theatre depart-ment. To end the festivities, a Skona Maj Spring Music Concert. The events sound festive. But I don't have an ounce of Swedish blood in me. When others generate warm fuz-zies with the Swedish heritage and the ancestral bond grows, what am I to do? I have never eaten Lutefisk. I have never served breakfast in bed to my father on December 13. I don't even know what skona maj means. But if it were in German I could tell you what it says! So how do I solve my dilemma? I join in with the Swedish festivities. I eat Swedish foods. I dream of having the Norsk blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin. But I also like to think that Germans will be in heaven too, and we will speak Deutsch! Schoner Mai, Well-kommen!! NJL Dear Editor The American Revolu tion was a violent act. The violence of the economic rape of the American col-onies by Britain was met with the violence of a rev-olution. British magistrates and governors were not given power by the will of the American colonists. Ra-ther, they were ruthlessly maintained in office by military might. Imperial-ist Britain relentlessly rep-ressed the colonists in or-der to satisfy the insatia-ble thirst of private indus-try. Somehow we have gone the full cycle. From being a nation founded upon a revolution to break the chains of economic, politi-cal and social bondage, we have become the oppres-sor. The United States of America oppresses the peo-ple of El Salvador. The U.S. is giving 5.7 million dollars in military assist-ance to a government that was never elected and which only stays in power through brute force. Amer-ican multi-national com-panies pay ridiculously low wages and plant soybeans and coffee on land that could be used for edible crops. We continue in our hypocrisy despite the facts that: the U.S. is the only nation in the world to con-tinue to support the junta; the United Nation's Gen-eral Assembly passed a recommendation that all military assistance be with-drawn from El Salvador; several congress persons and representatives (who visited El Salvador) oppose military aid. Besides the analogy of the American revolution, there are three other anal-ogies that work well with El Salvador. First of all, the U.S. supported the right wing Batista regime in Cuba because of the regime's support of Amer-see page 3 letters El Salvador: US Revolution revisited, or another Cuba? Dear Editor: After reading the letter by Tony Anderson printed in the Clarion issue of March 13, 1981, I felt compelled to reply. The crisis in El Salvador is a replica of the crisis in Cuba during the 1950's and 1960's. The dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista resembles in more ways than one the current government (la junta) of El Salvador. There were thousands of lives lost in Cuba during Batista's regime just as it is pow happening in El Salva-dor, but we need to take a closer look at the alternative left to El Salvador if we remove the U.S. military advisors. During the Batista regime in Cuba, the majority of the people who lost their lives were civilians. The reasons were the tactics used by the Castro guerillas and sup-porters, such as sabotaging theaters, restaurants and public buildings by planting bombs or starting fires resulting in the death of innocent people. In addition, they spread propaganda blaming these criminal acts on the Batista government. Batista received much criti-cism (as the junta is receiving now) because when he had a slight suspicion that a person or group were involved with the guerillas, they were apprehended and executed. Do not misunderstand me. I-am not in agreement with the junta's policy of murdering anyone for.a slight sus-picion just as I was not in agreement with Batista's regime, but if the U.S. removes the military advisors, communism will take over and it is infinitely worse! Those cited as being closest to the situation to discuss it are not close enough. The Roman Catholic Church, Amnesty International, former ambassador to El Sal-vador, Robert White and several congressmen, are alive and well and living in free, democratic, and good old United States of America! If you want to get closer, ask the people of El Salva-dor. I wish President Kennedy would have asked the Cubans when he decided not to help the Cuban invasion of Bay of Pigs. I am very grateful to the United States for allowing me to come to this great country, but I would have been more grateful if the Americans would have had the courage to help my country in their fight against Castro and communism and to gain Cuban freedom and increase human rights. Those who say that the communists and Cuba are not supporting the guerrillas in El Salvador are naive indeed. It is a fact that Cuba is sending military advi-sors to most Latin American countries and that Russia is sending military equipment to these countries through Cuba. Cuba is not only supporting the El Salvador guerrilla groups but is also providing arms that will murder innocent civilians. I believe that the U.S., as any ally to El Salvador and in response to the junta's request for help, has an open door, and a golden opportunity to aid El Salvador, not only in military advice, but also as an advisor and counselor in the area of human rights. It is far easier to persuade a friend than to embark in a fight against the communists. If you think that the present government of El Salvador has little regard for human rights (and I am in agreement with you), then just wait for the com-munist guerrillas to take over. With a communist government in power, El Salvador will lose its freedom of religion. What influence will the Roman Catholic Church have if this happens? El Salva-dor will lose its freedom of speech and rights for a fair trial. If thousands are dying now, victims of the civil war, millions will die then or disappear mysteriously (as it happened in Cuba), victims of persecution (both political and religious), hunger and oppression. They will be enslaved, imprisoned and executed without a trial. What influence will the Amnesty International have? El Salvador will also lose its political and eco-nomic ties with the United States and be left at the mercy of Russia and its satellites. What are the former ambassador and congressmen going to do about it'? They propose that the U.S. abandon El Salvador, but what other alternatives do they offer El Salvador other than communism? The people of Cuba are enslaved; hungry, persecuted for their religious and political beliefs, and murdered. The United States had the opportunity to help them during the Kennedy administration and refused to get involved. What can they do for the Cubans now'? Accept a handful as refugees and play along to Cast ro's schemes to increase the U.S. unemployment and eco-nomic difficulties. Are we going to help El Salvador to gain freedom and take advantage of the opportunity to persuade changes in its government in favor of human rights, or are we going to deny them our help and leave them to the fate of communism? .Ana Ortiz Cuban refugee no comment Photo by • Doug Barley letters El Salvador crisis, cont. Page 3 Honest repentence urged from page 2 ican industry. Castro, who came to power with popu-lar support and a demo-cratic platform, was for-cibly alienated from the U.S. because of the Amer-ican support of Batista. He was left no alternative but -to turn to the Soviet Union. American companies lost a lot of money in Cuba. But then the question arises as to what right they had to be there in the first place. The second analogy is Vietnam. Remember, we started by sending "mil-itary advisors" and then it escalated quickly. We kept corrupt leaders in power, bombed children and ster-ilized fertile land with the chemical "Agent Orange." But we never did get rid of communism did we? You would think that this past experience would teach us the uselessness of combat-ting an idea with military might. The third analogy is Chile. In Chile we removed a popularly elected leader because of his leftist lean-ings. In his place we put a right wing fanatic. Chile is still rigidly oppressed un-der the torture of this dic-tator. I also plead with you through my own exper-ience. I lived for eight years under a right-wing dicta-torship in Argentina. I have known people who live in Fear of becoming one of the many "desaparecidos" (the ones who have dis-appeared). On January 22, 1980, 350,000 Salvadorans marched on their capitol. The march extended for over seventy blocks. At 12:45 p.m. the marchers were fired upon by the National Guard and the National Police. The re-sulting dead were only a nick in the already-sacri-ficed 14,000 dead. The battle of the Ameri-can Revolution was be-tween an oppressed peo-ple and a world-wide op-pressive power. The bat-tle in El Salvador is not between extreme right and extreme left; rather it is between the vast majority of Salvadoran society (pea-sants, doctors, farmers, lawyers, etc...) and the present regime. Doug Barkey Dear Editor, While we desperately need to hear Ben Patter-son's remarks about corn-mitment in marriage (cha-pel, 3/17), I felt he was unfair to those who value androgeny and to single people. Maintaining that we are fundamentally male or female, and secon-darily persons, he indict-ed contemporary culture for robbing us of our hu-manity by making "person-hood" more important than femaleness or maleness. He insisted that functional biological differences do not capture the significance of maleness or femaleness, yet he neither articulated the differences nor support-ed the assertion with any evidence. Regarding sin-gles, he said they must have a "special" calling from God and then charac-terized "most poeple liv-ing alone" as victims. Certainly a major thrust of Genesis 1 and 2 (Patter-son's text was Genesis 2:18 -25) is that we are cre-ated to be interdependent. There and in John 17, for example, we see clues about how the members of the godhead interact. Love and truthful communica-tion, in the context of com-mitment and interdepen-dence, are central charac-teristics. Jesus modeled healthy singleness. The point is that we are creat-ed to have relationships with other people. The idea that being fully human re-quires that we "be one flesh" and share our lives with a member of the op-posite sex is not true. Pat-terson's emphasis on mar-riage and strong caution about singleness seem to suggest some deficiency in those who do not marry. I reject this. Patterson's point that we "find our-selves when we give our-selves away" seems to me to be as true for singles as it is for marrieds. How we relate is the issue. Just as there are complete, fulfilled married people, there are also complete, fulfilled sin-gle people. Unfortunately, both categories also con-tain lonely, unfulfilled peo-ple. God created us so that relationships will comple-ment and enrich us, whe-ther we are female or male, single or married. Praise God that we each have numerous opportunities to parti6pate both in receiv-ing relationship riches and in giving richly to relation-ships! Sandie McNeel Dear Editor, Rape is a violent crime against women. The recent rape on campus forces us to realize that Bethel is not immune to such an act. Rape is only one of many ways women are violated. There are numerous sub-tle ways women are insult-ed and degraded. Rating women according to their physical appearance is one example. Women are also degraded when forced to surrender personal free-doms in an attempt to re-duce the risk of attack (ie., Dear Editor, I would like to go on record as having some very definite feelings regarding some of the activities which have been reported in re-cent weeks. I pray the par-ty or parties involved will read and God will convict the person(s). If you accuse the Jews of killing Jesus, then His death means nothing to the Gentiles. There is a song which has really spo-ken to me and to many other people of all races. One line reads: "I'm the one to blame, I caused all the pain. He took my place the day he wore my crown." (Emphasis added by writer). I have no Jew-ish blood running walking and jogging alone after dark). Rape, rating systems, the restriction of personal freedoms, stereotyping, patting and pinching are all offensive to women. We must analyze our atti-tudes and actions, seeking to recognize the relation-ship between all forms of abuse. Sonya Olsen Kristine Carlson Lynn Olsen Cheryl Thomas Lori Olsen through my veins. Let me pose some ques-tions to the person(s) re-sponsible. Who are you? Where are you coming from? Are you being hon-est with yourself? You will never be honest with other people and most of all you will never be honest with God, if you can't be honest with yourself. In closing, I would ask anyone the same ques-tions, those of you who write notes and sign with a KKK. Have you nothing better to do with your time than this? God loves those you treat like dirt, and believe it or not, He loves you while hating your sin! Sincerely, Glennda A. Thompson Teams for the study-free day should include five men and five women.

Since 1963, 400,000 Am-ericans have been killed by handguns; that is more than the death toll of WWII. There are 55 mil-lion pistols in the United States. We have the highest rate of murder by guns in the world. What else must happen before this nation does go through the pro-cess of re-examining it-self? The control of the sale of handguns is a step to-wards solving our prob-lem. Why a national gun control? Because handguns are designed to kill and people with guns kill peo-ple. The targets at some shooting ranges are shaped human beings with a bull's-eye drawn over the heart. I recently moved into a new apartment. When ap-plying for a lease I was asked to fill out a very extensive questionnaire. I provided my bank ac-counts, credit references, employer's phone number, next of kin, and a list of my previous work expe-rience. The management then checked my creden-tials. Have you ever ap-plied fora credit card? A similiar scrutinization pro-cess occurs. However, to purchase a handgun in al-most any state I simply provide the proper identi-fication, eg. drivers' li-cense, fill out a short ques-tionnaire (which does not have to be verified), and provide the cash. This is rather odd. I have never heard of anyone killed by a credit card. We value money_ and property over human life. A highly organized sys-tem needs to be developed in which those who wish to purchase handguns must go through a rigor-ous application procedure similiar to that of credit by Dan Wiley Bethel's forensic team placed third out of 11 col-leges at the First Annual National Novice Individ-ual Events Tournament. The event was hosted by the University of Nebras-ka- Omaha on April 2-4. Representing Bethel were Mike Wiseman, Beth Neufeld, Laura Stratton and Linda Nylen. Neufeld led Bethel's team to first place in ex-temporaneous speaking, second place in impromp-tu speaking and third place in persuasive speaking. Wiseman contributed a first place in rhetorical criticism and third place in impromptu speaking. Nylen made it to the final round in impromptu speak-check. If we remove hand-guns from the counters of local sporting good stores and make them accessible only through this string-ent application procedure we may decrease the mi§- use of this weapon. "...

"It's so valuable for build-ing up the soil." "The answers to many of our problems today are in nature. Man has neg-lected nature. We are caught up in a plastic cul-ture," he says. Johnson, 68, was asso-ciate professor of biology at Bethel College in St. Paul for 30 years, but has been "retired" since 1976. Retired? He still teaches geology and horticulture three days a week at Be-thel and is active develop-ing nature trails for camps in the midwest and in Cal-ifornia. He also takes time to put on demonstrations for school children and var-ious community groups on birds, plants, trees and gar-dening. Johnson says his first love is trees which he be-came interested in as a boy in North Dakota. Yes, there are trees there, says Johnson, lots of poplars. He was trained in forestry at the University of Min-nesota and from 1935-41 was a member of the Civ-ilian Conservation Corps of the U.S. Forest Service in northern Minnesota. He was drafted into the army in WWII and then "drafted" into teaching. "I love college students," said Johnson. "Trees don't bark at you, but they don't react to you either." Johnson says he is able to identify trees in any part of the world. "I en-courage people to begin their observation of nature in the winter. There is beau-ty in the arrangement of the buds on the trees." "Then watch the unfold-ing of the buds and flow-ers in the spring. Nature is so synchronized. The tim-ing is marvelous. If people studied nature more, there would be fewer problems," he repeated. In the early 1970s he was a consulting biologist for the Navy, conducting research on edible and poi-sonous plants of Southeast Asia. His work was pro-duced in card packets car-ried by combat person-nel as a part of their sur-vival gear. Locally, John-son has acted as a consul-tant to his neighbor who owns the Pine Ridge green-house and nursery, to the school district and occa-sionally he receives a call from the agricultural ex-tension office. His library is the best one for miles around. The most neglected book of our time, says Johnson, is nature. If only we would learn how to read it. There are weeds in our front yard that are more nutritious than some of the produce we buy at the grocery store. "Dandelion greens are bet-ter for people than the let-tuce we try so hard to grow." It is Johnson's opinion that more people should have small tracts of land and garden. "An acre is as much as anyone needs," he says. "I lived in St. Paul when people had large gar-dens and chickens. One time a policeman told us `you can have the chickens, but get rid of the rooster— it wakes up everyone in the morning." He and his wife Margaret gardened at their home in Roseville until they moved to their 5 acre plot west of Cam-bridge in 1972. "My wife noticed I was getting claustrophobia, so we moved to the country. She decided I should start practicing what I preach," said Johnson, who gardens by natural methods and raises chickens. This sum-mer, he and his son, who lives next door on 5 acres, plan to build a solar pit greenhouse. Johnson claims the gar-bage man hasn't been to his home in 25 years. Every-thing is recycled, much of it going into the compost. "Compost is much better fertilizer than manure," he says. "Manure contains on-ly what the animal ate, but leaves, for example, draw all the nutrients that are in the soil." It's not easy to keep up with a man like Johnson who has accomplished so many things and plans on doing so much more. This man, who feels better at 68 than he did at 40, would like to leave something be-hind. He shouldn't worry. Years ago he started a herb-arium, a collection of dried plants, that is being car-ried on by the biology de-partment at Bethel College. Recently, Johnson conduct-ed ceremonies for the sil-ver anniversary of a St. Paul boy scout troop that he started 25 years ago. (He was a scout master for 20 years.) Besides the hun-dreds of young boys he's instructed in nature and survival techniques, and the thousands of students who've shared his enthu-siasm for soils, plants and rocks, there are scores of grade school children who thank him each year for "showing us the birds." He believes that textbook representations of na-ture are not as interesting to school children as na-ture itself. Johnson is an advocate of sending young people into the field to arouse interest in the na-tion's natural wealth. "Send-ing students in search of a feather is a good way to arouse interest of budding ornithologists." He never received his Ph.D. because he wanted to spend his time teaching and being with his family. His family, says Johnson, is very close and all have an appreciation for the land. He believes it's be-cause he and Margaret placed the children above all else and it has paid off. Now that they are grown, he is starting to think about writing a book. "That's in the future," he said. This summer Johnson will be teaching "horn-stead horticulture" in the Elderhostel program at Be-thel. (Elderhostel is a resi-dential learning program for persons 60 years and older.) He will also be de-veloping self-conducted na-ture walks to camps and, of course, he will be gar-dening. Retired? Not exact-ly. A poem written byone of Johnson's colleagues at Bethel College sums it up.

Calvary Baptist will host the chorus' last con-cert of the year on Sun-day, April 26, at 7 p.m. The free concerts are a combination of sacred hymns, spirituals and psalms accompanied by piano and organ. Four brass instruments are also a part of the program. The weekend's concerts are a culmination of the practice and experience gained during the chorus' week-and-a-half-long tour over spring break. Dr. Mogck, who has di-rected the male chorus for the last nine years, said, "This year has been one of the best." This is Mogck's last year as director but he will teach one more year before retiring. He is eas-ing out of his activities at Bethel. Dr. Bruce Leafblad, asso-ciate professor of church music and worship, will direct male chorus next year. "I am absolutely thrilled at Dr. Leafblad's coming," said Mogck, "and at his willingness to assume the leadership of Bethel's old-est musical group, now in its 69th year of history." Next year Leafblad plans to take the male chorus on a trip to the British Isles. Men who are interested in joining chorus next year should see him to set up an audition. Last March 20 through April 1 the male chorus toured the Upper Midwest, spending most of their time in Michigan. They gave 15 concerts in 12 days and visited a few sites such as the Henry Ford Museum and the Kellogg Company. 'The unity of the group really impressed me," said Bruce Heidlauf, freshman. "Before the trip, I hardly new anyone, but by the end we were like broth-ers." Each of the group members who shared their impresions highlighted the closeness they established with other tour members as meaningful. Tim Steele, senior, compared the tour to "a week-long Christian locker room." Heidlauf said, "Singing in the churches was great. The people took us. in. They went out of their way for us and made us feel like part of the family." Steele, who was the tour manager, tried to arrange for the men to stay with different tour members when they went to the church members' homes each night. 'This is my fifth tour and I never realized how much work went into set-ting up the equipment, fig-uring out where the risers go and when supper was going to be," said Steele, "until I was tour manager. I can appreciate what Chris Jarvis did for the tour in setting things up ahead of time," said Steele. ter than a "B" average in college, and complete scho-larship procedures by June 1 "Through these, awards we are trying to give incen-tive to capable men and women toward vocations of ministry," said Dr. Gor-don Johnson, dean of the seminary. For further information, contact Morris Anderson, director of admissions and financial aid. 'There were many mean-ingful things-it's hard to pinpoint," said Brian Mc- Murray, male chorus pres-ident, "One of the big things was working under Mr. Mogck and also all the friendships we made." Gary Drake, sophomore, compared the tour to "going to a Bible camp on wheels." He said he learned many things musically as well as spiritually. "The highlight of the whole trip," said Drake, "was when the busdriver redicated his life to Christ. We had prayed for him every day of the tour." Bethel budget: tuition costs, fuel increases, food prices. Inflation hits from all angles in the Bethel Col-lege and Seminary $13.7 million budget. To under-stand the costs in operat-ing a private college and seminary, the Clarion ex-plores the top four areas of revenue and expenditures within the budget. Budget, part 5 in a series by Jay Stuart Russell Of Bethel's $13.7 million in expenditures, 32 per cent, or about $4.4 million is spent on the meat of the budget: instruction and re-search. The music and Bible de-as student salaries, course supplies and equipment ex-pense usually take up a proportionately smaller amount of the budget. An example of a typical departmental budget is the English department's $142,955 budget. Full-time faculty salaries account for about 74 per cent of the department's budget, or $105,250. Faculty benefits are $22,610 and part-time faculty salaries are $8750. The remaining $6345 is divided into seven other expen‘se areas: course sup-plies, $2000; student sal-aries (work study), $1400; student salaries (regular), $1375; faculty chairman responsibilities, $850; film rentals, $330; equipment, $250; and travel, $140. The college's portion of the $4.4 million instruc-tion- research expenditure is $3.35 million, of which the academic departments take the bulk of the ex-penditures. Some of the other instructional expen-ditures include an academ-ic administration budget of $166,039 and expendi-tures for faculty develop-ment, testing and evalua-tion, interim, summer pro-grams, wilderness chal-lenge and the writing cen-ter. partments lead the list of 27 academic departments in terms of expenditures at $228,076 and $221,142, respectively. On the other end of the scale, the geo-graphy and geology-physi-cal science departments re-ceive the lowest amounts: $6,150 and $3,730, respec-tively. The geography and geology departments offer only a few courses each year, which accounts for what appears to be an un-usually low amount. Nearly all of the depart-mental areas follow the same-budget patterns: full-time faculty salaries are by far the largest expenditure, fol-lowed by faculty benefits and part-time faculty sal-aries. Other expenses such Seminary awards ministry grants Bethel Seminary will be awarding four $1,000 scho-larships to incoming first-year students who demon-strate outstanding academ-ic ability and leadership potential for ministry.

Extreme con-cern has been voiced re-garding the varieties of pre-judice which we have seen to exist within our cam-pus, and which we have inescapably seen to exist within ourselves. A varie-ty of committees have arisen to confront an even greater variety of preju-dices. One organization leading this tide is the Inte-gration Task Force Com-mittee. The Integration Task Force Committee, as its name implies, has been en-trusted with a certain task or function. This commit-tee's specific task is to re-view the question of racial integration at Bethel as it relates to the implicitly Christian nature of our in-stitution, and to recom-mend counteracting propo-sals to members of our administration and our outlying community. There are a number of innate tensions in procur-ing the goal of diversive unity at Bethel through integration. One of the ma-jor contentions of concern-ed minority students and alumni is that of exper-iencing a very subtle, and yet all too poignant, form of racial prejudice. Notes in the POs, racial slurs in the conversation and jokes, roommate struggles, lack of representative curricu-lum, insufficient numbers of community role models, misrepresentative recruit-ment practices, and a lack of organized support groups are each seen as reflecting both a general lack of cross-cultural con-sciousness and an insid-ious form of prejudice. A further tension in achieving integration at Be-thel is that of Bethel's own cultural restrictiveness. Many observers see Bethel as being designed to serve those and only those corn-ing out of a certain social mold. Diversiveness and cultural expression is not allowed, and many minor-ities see themselves as being forced to conform to Bethel's cultural standards. The opportunity for con-current remedial training for minority students corn-ing from inadequate high schools is also a prohitive factor. In the experience of a number of other Chris-tian colleges participating in integrative programs, it has been found that many minority students require one and one-half to two years of remedial training concurrent with regular coursework before pro-gress matches or surpass-es that of students coming from college preparatory high schools. Failure to make provision to contin-ued remedial training of-ten makes a minority stu-dents appear incapable of carrying a normal academ-ic load. Don Belton, faculty mem-ber and coordinator of the committee to date, has brought the committee to the point of confronting specific policy questions. The membership of the corn-mi t tee involves a number of concerned faculty mem-bers, current Bethel stu-dents, past Bethel minor-ity students and area min-ority pastors. The commit-tee has progressed from an initial discussion of the issues involved to the cur-rent breakdown of the com-mittee into specific focus groups. These groups will review various aspects of integration and prepare pol-icy recommendations. A long-running frustra-tion for many committee members had been the lack of attendance by college administrators. This lack of representation was per-ceived as a lack of concern for the issue. However, four representatives were in attendance at the March 20 meeting of the commit- The Bethel Choir, con-ducted by Dr. Robert Berg-lund, will make its annual appearance at Orchestra Hall in a concert of sacred repertoire on Sunday, April 26, at 3:00 p.m. tick-ets are available through Dayton's and the Orches-tra Hall ticket office. Acclaimed as one of America's leading colle-giate choirs, this 70-mem-ber acappella ensemble will open their program with Renaissance compo-sitions by Pitoni, Praeto-rius and others, to be fol-lowed by the passionate motet "Jesu, Meine Freude" by J. S. Bach. Contempor-ary selections to be sung tee. Those representing the college included: Carl Lundquist, president of the college, George Brushaber, vice-president and dean, James Bragg, vice-presi-dent for college affairs and Rod Long, representative of the student affairs of-fice. Dean Brushaber had also attended the previous meeting of the committee. President Lundquist ex-pressed surprise and con-cern upon hearing of minor-ity student experiences, and identified a number of suggestions for immediate change, as well as pledg-ing a longer term commit-ment to the problem of racism at Bethel. He may not have realized at the time the upcoming pertin-ency of his pledge. The Integration Task Force Committee is strug-gling to confront the diffi-cult questions of integra-tion, which have a great impact not only . on the discriminated, but also upon each of us as dis-criminators. The ultimate tension the Task Force is facing in achieving inte-gration at Bethel is the question of whether we, as an institution and as a community, really desire that integration to occur and are willing to commit ourselves to that goal. by the Bethel Choir in-clude "Three Prophesies from Isaiah" by J.

Coach Paul Reasoner com-mented, "It was a cold, windy day, difficult for tennis, and I was glad the women were able to play well." The individual match scores were: Kathy Lee 6- 2, 6-4; Denise Nygren 6-4, 6-1; Sara Runion 6-0, 6-1; Sharon Johnson 7-6, 6-3; Melanie Bates 6-1, 6-0 and Kris Backlund won by for-feit. Doubles matches were played by pro-sets. The scores were Lee and Run-ion, 10-2; Nygren and John-son, 10-3; and Bates and Linda Hallblade won by forfeit. Tomorrow the women's tennis team will host Con-cordia- St. Paul beginning at 9 a.m. Baseball, from page 8 Moorhead and St. Mary's. Co-captain Jeff Wilson has been the work horse on the mound, compiling a 2-3 record overall. The Royals are always a scor-ing threat with high-pow-ered hitters like Dave Fauth, Dave Mitroff and Paul Lindberg performing at their peaks. Captain Paul Lindberg commented that, "our team is young but rapidly mat-uring with every game." It is hoped that through this season Bethel can build a solid foundation for the future. The Royals continue their season with games against Macalester on Tuesday and a double-header at home on Satur-day, against Augsburg. The American Heart As-sociation and Marigold Foods are sponsoring "Jump Rope for Heart." The event will be held on Saturday, April 25 at South-dale, Ridgedale, Rosedale and Brookdale shopping centers. "Jump Rope–for Heart" consists of teams of six who will take turns skip-ping rope for a maximum of three hours. Participants will raise funds by obtain-ing pledges based on the number of minutes their team jumps. Teams will be assigned on the day of the event and individual prizes will be awarded based on the amount of Summer school, from page 1 A Cooperative Learning Workshop, taught by Ron-ald W. Skon, a current consultant and author, will also be offered during Bethel's summer school pro-grams. Those participants will learn "strategies for improving students' mot-ivation, achievement, self-esteem, and friendship," as well as specific strategies of implementation. It also deals with ideas for inte-grating students with spe-cial needs in the classroom group and methods of prob-lem- solving. The focus of this class will be on "learn-ing together and alone." A key question which will be asked is: "Does it really make a difference whether students compete with each other, or work indi-vidually, or work cooper-atively?" This course is designed for teachers and adminis-trators, emphasizing the need for cooperation in a learning situation. Bethel also provides the unique opportunity for teachers and high school students to participate in a pottery workshop taught by Eugene Johnson, a pot-funds collected. Bobby Smith, Minnesota North Stars hockey play-er, is honorary chairman for the 1981 "Jump Rope for Heart." Smith says, "this event is a chance for people of all ages to take part in fun and healthy exercise, as well as raise money for the fight against this nation's No. 1 killer, heart disease.

The class size for each workshop will give each individual total access to a potter's wheel. A Creative Thinking Strategies workshop, taught by Joyce Juntune of Project REACH, will be offered during August at Bethel. Juntune is a former elementary school teacher, currently the director of Project REACH in the Mounds View school dis-trict. She is an author of articles on creativity as well as instructional mat-erials on creative thinking. The workshop "is designed to give elementary and mid-dleschool teachers the theor-etical base and the appli-cations," helping them to develop their creative think-ing skills for use in the classroom. Bethel College is one of 22 colleges and universi-ties that offer what is call-ed Elderhostel.

Central of Iowa was first and the University of Min-nesota- LaCross was sec-ond. In the earlier meet at St. Cloud Bethel finished sec-ond behind the host school and ahead of Augsburg, Bemidji State, Willmar Corn-munity College, and the University of Minnesota- Morris. Distance runners Wendy Norberg and Ellie Abbott led the team, tak-ing first and second re-spectively in both the 5000-meter and 3000-me-ter races. In the field events Deb Sension finished first in the high jump and third in the long jump. Sara Bar-ker took second in the shot put and third in the dis-cus. Sheila Kroon finished fourth in the javelin and Kathy Kuam took took fifth in both the shot put and the discuss. Hurdler Jenny Burgess was second in the 100- meter race and sprinter Severson dominated the 100-yard dash and took second in the 200-meter dash. Teammate Danette Burgess finished fourth and fifth respectively in both those races. The team hopes to be equally successful in its next meet on Saturday, April 25, at Macalester Col-lege. The women's track team had a tough schedule last week as they competed at St. Cloud University on Thursday and at Luther College-Iowa on Saturday. Coach Cindy Book was ex-tremely pleased about her team's performances in both meets. The highlight of the meet at Luther was Sara Barkers national-qualifying throw in the discus. She needed to hit 130 feet to qualify but managed 135 feet and placed third in that event. Barker also placed fifth in the shot put. Teammate Sheila Kroon set a new Bethel record in the jave-lin, taking second place with a throw of 119 feet. Deb Sension finished fifth in that event and she also tied for fifth in the high jump. Captain Lynn Severson had outstanding perfor-mances in all four of her events at Luther. She ran her first open 400-meter race of the year in 59.8, placing third. She teamed up with Jenny and Danette Burgess and Sherri Lind-quist for three relays; plac, ing third in the 4 x 110 relay, third in the 880 med-ley relay, and second in the 4 x 220 relay.

The Royals have com-piled a 5-5 record and are enjoying the competitive-ness and the challenge that a young team under new leadership faces in the M.I.A.C. Highlighting their per-formance thus far have been convincing double-header sweeps over the University of Wisconsin- Superior and Concordia- St. Paul. The Royals then split a double-header with St. John's and struggled through four tough losses at the hands of Concordia-see page 7 200-meter dash (22.1). Freshman Jay Constable placed second in the inter-mediate hurdles with a time of 56.3 seconds. In the field events, Ja-son Velgersdyk jumped 6'6", which was high enough for a second-place finish in the high jump. Junior Phil Asay was sec-ond in the triple jump, leaping 451/2".

Coach Mark Norlander commented on the North Hennepin competition: "I predict we'll come out on top. It'll be close but I think we can beat them." Last week the team suf-fered two 0-9 losses against Mankato and St. Thomas. St. Thomas is rated highly in the conference and Nor-lander indicated that the Tommies are a top-notch team. John Lilyberg, Bethel's second singles, had a close match against the Tom-mies. The match went to a tie-breaker and Liliyberg was unable to finish on top. Norlander commented that Lilyberg "played his best match of the season." The men's tennis team is now 1-8 in the confer-ence.

Over 20 courses have been proposed for the two summer sessions. The first session begins May 27 through June 19 and the second session, which is made up of evening class-by. Ginger Hope The Bethel theatre arts department will present "Hans Christian Andersen Tales," a medley of Danish folk tales, in conjunction with the Scandinavia-orient-ed spring fine arts festival. The tales, adapted and directed by Douglas Briggs, assistant professor of thea-tre arts, will be performed April 30, May 1 - 2, 5 -9, at 8 p.m. with additional per-formances at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on May 2 and 9.

A breakfast, an art dis-play, a play, a bonfire and a concert are just some of the activities that will high-light May 1 and 2. The welcoming of spring is a Scandinavian tradi-tion. The 24-hour festival is celebrated on universi-ty campuses in Sweden beginning on the last night of April. The purpose of the celebration is to throw off winter's gloom and wel-come spring. "The main thrust," said associate pro-fessor of music Mary Fall, "is a unifying Bethel week-end." A Bethel student was raped Tuesday night, April 14, in the gravel mainte-nance parking lot behind Edgren and Bodien dorms. Police are investigating the crime, which happened at 9:30 p.m. "This incident had uni-que circumstances, so we cannot say that a rapist is running around campus looking for anyone," said Marilyn Starr, dean of women. "The rapist is not a Bethel student and it was not done at random. Starr warned that wom-en should be careful after dark.

According to Torn Cor-rell, professor of anthro-pology, there have been at least three other rapes this school year. He added that he doubts that number is all-inclusive. Correll will teach an interim course on sex crimes next year, a repeat of his interim class this year. Starr said that last year a campus visitor was raped. Correll said he has known of at least one rape each year. Starr said she is trying to arrange'for a cam-pus speaker, in the next couple of weeks, to talk about rape. A 1976 article, "Rape & Self Defense," said 70 per cent of all rapes are from 6 to 9 p.m. in the art gallery. The exhibit open-ing will be highlighted with a reception and musi-cians. The theatre department will be presenting Hans Christian Andersen Tales at 8 p.m. Friday and at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available at the ticket booth by the theatre. The activities for the first day of May will end with a bonfire sponsored by the Campus Coordina-tors. The bonfire is a late night tradition of Scandin= a via and offers songs, games, and treats.

We have traditions for how to eat, how to speak, even how to wear our clothes," said Tevye, the "If I Were a Rich Man" of Fiddler on the Roof. "For without tradition our lives would be as shaky as a fiddler on the roof." Traditions are an interesting phenomena. Their ori-gin is either unknown or half truth, half myth. They contribute to the cohesiveness of a group of people, be it a family or a whole nation. Their presence can also contribute to heartache and revolution when a member of the group skwirms to break the mold, as in the plot of Tevye's story. Well, Bethel has traditions, too. Swedish traditions. The school has been educating students in Swedish traditions throughout the year. It began with Festival of Christmas and Santa Lucia's sun rise tea and yulekaka: on. December 13. Coming May 1 and 2 Skona Maj, Valkommen events. The days will include Scandina-vian sweets and smorgasbord, Scandinavian parades and "people-festivals" and Scandinavian Hans Chris-tian Andersen tales told to us by the theatre depart-ment. To end the festivities, a Skona Maj Spring Music Concert. The events sound festive. But I don't have an ounce of Swedish blood in me. When others generate warm fuz-zies with the Swedish heritage and the ancestral bond grows, what am I to do? I have never eaten Lutefisk. I have never served breakfast in bed to my father on December 13. I don't even know what skona maj means. But if it were in German I could tell you what it says! So how do I solve my dilemma? I join in with the Swedish festivities. I eat Swedish foods. I dream of having the Norsk blond hair, blue eyes and fair skin. But I also like to think that Germans will be in heaven too, and we will speak Deutsch! Schoner Mai, Well-kommen!! NJL Dear Editor The American Revolu tion was a violent act. The violence of the economic rape of the American col-onies by Britain was met with the violence of a rev-olution. British magistrates and governors were not given power by the will of the American colonists. Ra-ther, they were ruthlessly maintained in office by military might. Imperial-ist Britain relentlessly rep-ressed the colonists in or-der to satisfy the insatia-ble thirst of private indus-try. Somehow we have gone the full cycle. From being a nation founded upon a revolution to break the chains of economic, politi-cal and social bondage, we have become the oppres-sor. The United States of America oppresses the peo-ple of El Salvador. The U.S. is giving 5.7 million dollars in military assist-ance to a government that was never elected and which only stays in power through brute force. Amer-ican multi-national com-panies pay ridiculously low wages and plant soybeans and coffee on land that could be used for edible crops. We continue in our hypocrisy despite the facts that: the U.S. is the only nation in the world to con-tinue to support the junta; the United Nation's Gen-eral Assembly passed a recommendation that all military assistance be with-drawn from El Salvador; several congress persons and representatives (who visited El Salvador) oppose military aid. Besides the analogy of the American revolution, there are three other anal-ogies that work well with El Salvador. First of all, the U.S. supported the right wing Batista regime in Cuba because of the regime's support of Amer-see page 3 letters El Salvador: US Revolution revisited, or another Cuba? Dear Editor: After reading the letter by Tony Anderson printed in the Clarion issue of March 13, 1981, I felt compelled to reply. The crisis in El Salvador is a replica of the crisis in Cuba during the 1950's and 1960's. The dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista resembles in more ways than one the current government (la junta) of El Salvador. There were thousands of lives lost in Cuba during Batista's regime just as it is pow happening in El Salva-dor, but we need to take a closer look at the alternative left to El Salvador if we remove the U.S. military advisors. During the Batista regime in Cuba, the majority of the people who lost their lives were civilians. The reasons were the tactics used by the Castro guerillas and sup-porters, such as sabotaging theaters, restaurants and public buildings by planting bombs or starting fires resulting in the death of innocent people. In addition, they spread propaganda blaming these criminal acts on the Batista government. Batista received much criti-cism (as the junta is receiving now) because when he had a slight suspicion that a person or group were involved with the guerillas, they were apprehended and executed. Do not misunderstand me. I-am not in agreement with the junta's policy of murdering anyone for.a slight sus-picion just as I was not in agreement with Batista's regime, but if the U.S. removes the military advisors, communism will take over and it is infinitely worse! Those cited as being closest to the situation to discuss it are not close enough. The Roman Catholic Church, Amnesty International, former ambassador to El Sal-vador, Robert White and several congressmen, are alive and well and living in free, democratic, and good old United States of America! If you want to get closer, ask the people of El Salva-dor. I wish President Kennedy would have asked the Cubans when he decided not to help the Cuban invasion of Bay of Pigs. I am very grateful to the United States for allowing me to come to this great country, but I would have been more grateful if the Americans would have had the courage to help my country in their fight against Castro and communism and to gain Cuban freedom and increase human rights. Those who say that the communists and Cuba are not supporting the guerrillas in El Salvador are naive indeed. It is a fact that Cuba is sending military advi-sors to most Latin American countries and that Russia is sending military equipment to these countries through Cuba. Cuba is not only supporting the El Salvador guerrilla groups but is also providing arms that will murder innocent civilians. I believe that the U.S., as any ally to El Salvador and in response to the junta's request for help, has an open door, and a golden opportunity to aid El Salvador, not only in military advice, but also as an advisor and counselor in the area of human rights. It is far easier to persuade a friend than to embark in a fight against the communists. If you think that the present government of El Salvador has little regard for human rights (and I am in agreement with you), then just wait for the com-munist guerrillas to take over. With a communist government in power, El Salvador will lose its freedom of religion. What influence will the Roman Catholic Church have if this happens? El Salva-dor will lose its freedom of speech and rights for a fair trial. If thousands are dying now, victims of the civil war, millions will die then or disappear mysteriously (as it happened in Cuba), victims of persecution (both political and religious), hunger and oppression. They will be enslaved, imprisoned and executed without a trial. What influence will the Amnesty International have? El Salvador will also lose its political and eco-nomic ties with the United States and be left at the mercy of Russia and its satellites. What are the former ambassador and congressmen going to do about it'? They propose that the U.S. abandon El Salvador, but what other alternatives do they offer El Salvador other than communism? The people of Cuba are enslaved; hungry, persecuted for their religious and political beliefs, and murdered. The United States had the opportunity to help them during the Kennedy administration and refused to get involved. What can they do for the Cubans now'? Accept a handful as refugees and play along to Cast ro's schemes to increase the U.S. unemployment and eco-nomic difficulties. Are we going to help El Salvador to gain freedom and take advantage of the opportunity to persuade changes in its government in favor of human rights, or are we going to deny them our help and leave them to the fate of communism? .Ana Ortiz Cuban refugee no comment Photo by • Doug Barley letters El Salvador crisis, cont. Page 3 Honest repentence urged from page 2 ican industry. Castro, who came to power with popu-lar support and a demo-cratic platform, was for-cibly alienated from the U.S. because of the Amer-ican support of Batista. He was left no alternative but -to turn to the Soviet Union. American companies lost a lot of money in Cuba. But then the question arises as to what right they had to be there in the first place. The second analogy is Vietnam. Remember, we started by sending "mil-itary advisors" and then it escalated quickly. We kept corrupt leaders in power, bombed children and ster-ilized fertile land with the chemical "Agent Orange." But we never did get rid of communism did we? You would think that this past experience would teach us the uselessness of combat-ting an idea with military might. The third analogy is Chile. In Chile we removed a popularly elected leader because of his leftist lean-ings. In his place we put a right wing fanatic. Chile is still rigidly oppressed un-der the torture of this dic-tator. I also plead with you through my own exper-ience. I lived for eight years under a right-wing dicta-torship in Argentina. I have known people who live in Fear of becoming one of the many "desaparecidos" (the ones who have dis-appeared). On January 22, 1980, 350,000 Salvadorans marched on their capitol. The march extended for over seventy blocks. At 12:45 p.m. the marchers were fired upon by the National Guard and the National Police. The re-sulting dead were only a nick in the already-sacri-ficed 14,000 dead. The battle of the Ameri-can Revolution was be-tween an oppressed peo-ple and a world-wide op-pressive power. The bat-tle in El Salvador is not between extreme right and extreme left; rather it is between the vast majority of Salvadoran society (pea-sants, doctors, farmers, lawyers, etc...) and the present regime. Doug Barkey Dear Editor, While we desperately need to hear Ben Patter-son's remarks about corn-mitment in marriage (cha-pel, 3/17), I felt he was unfair to those who value androgeny and to single people. Maintaining that we are fundamentally male or female, and secon-darily persons, he indict-ed contemporary culture for robbing us of our hu-manity by making "person-hood" more important than femaleness or maleness. He insisted that functional biological differences do not capture the significance of maleness or femaleness, yet he neither articulated the differences nor support-ed the assertion with any evidence. Regarding sin-gles, he said they must have a "special" calling from God and then charac-terized "most poeple liv-ing alone" as victims. Certainly a major thrust of Genesis 1 and 2 (Patter-son's text was Genesis 2:18 -25) is that we are cre-ated to be interdependent. There and in John 17, for example, we see clues about how the members of the godhead interact. Love and truthful communica-tion, in the context of com-mitment and interdepen-dence, are central charac-teristics. Jesus modeled healthy singleness. The point is that we are creat-ed to have relationships with other people. The idea that being fully human re-quires that we "be one flesh" and share our lives with a member of the op-posite sex is not true. Pat-terson's emphasis on mar-riage and strong caution about singleness seem to suggest some deficiency in those who do not marry. I reject this. Patterson's point that we "find our-selves when we give our-selves away" seems to me to be as true for singles as it is for marrieds. How we relate is the issue. Just as there are complete, fulfilled married people, there are also complete, fulfilled sin-gle people. Unfortunately, both categories also con-tain lonely, unfulfilled peo-ple. God created us so that relationships will comple-ment and enrich us, whe-ther we are female or male, single or married. Praise God that we each have numerous opportunities to parti6pate both in receiv-ing relationship riches and in giving richly to relation-ships! Sandie McNeel Dear Editor, Rape is a violent crime against women. The recent rape on campus forces us to realize that Bethel is not immune to such an act. Rape is only one of many ways women are violated. There are numerous sub-tle ways women are insult-ed and degraded. Rating women according to their physical appearance is one example. Women are also degraded when forced to surrender personal free-doms in an attempt to re-duce the risk of attack (ie., Dear Editor, I would like to go on record as having some very definite feelings regarding some of the activities which have been reported in re-cent weeks. I pray the par-ty or parties involved will read and God will convict the person(s). If you accuse the Jews of killing Jesus, then His death means nothing to the Gentiles. There is a song which has really spo-ken to me and to many other people of all races. One line reads: "I'm the one to blame, I caused all the pain. He took my place the day he wore my crown." (Emphasis added by writer). I have no Jew-ish blood running walking and jogging alone after dark). Rape, rating systems, the restriction of personal freedoms, stereotyping, patting and pinching are all offensive to women. We must analyze our atti-tudes and actions, seeking to recognize the relation-ship between all forms of abuse. Sonya Olsen Kristine Carlson Lynn Olsen Cheryl Thomas Lori Olsen through my veins. Let me pose some ques-tions to the person(s) re-sponsible. Who are you? Where are you coming from? Are you being hon-est with yourself? You will never be honest with other people and most of all you will never be honest with God, if you can't be honest with yourself. In closing, I would ask anyone the same ques-tions, those of you who write notes and sign with a KKK. Have you nothing better to do with your time than this? God loves those you treat like dirt, and believe it or not, He loves you while hating your sin! Sincerely, Glennda A. Thompson Teams for the study-free day should include five men and five women.

Page 4 Johnson "good neighbor" to all column by Cathy Rich Property valued over lives "It is the act of one per-son and does not mean the nation must go through the tortuous process of re-examining itself; this is just one person who has apparently gone berserk" -- Minnesota Senator Rudy Boschwitz in response to the assasination attempt. Since 1963, 400,000 Am-ericans have been killed by handguns; that is more than the death toll of WWII. There are 55 mil-lion pistols in the United States. We have the highest rate of murder by guns in the world. What else must happen before this nation does go through the pro-cess of re-examining it-self? The control of the sale of handguns is a step to-wards solving our prob-lem. Why a national gun control? Because handguns are designed to kill and people with guns kill peo-ple. The targets at some shooting ranges are shaped human beings with a bull's-eye drawn over the heart. I recently moved into a new apartment. When ap-plying for a lease I was asked to fill out a very extensive questionnaire. I provided my bank ac-counts, credit references, employer's phone number, next of kin, and a list of my previous work expe-rience. The management then checked my creden-tials. Have you ever ap-plied fora credit card? A similiar scrutinization pro-cess occurs. However, to purchase a handgun in al-most any state I simply provide the proper identi-fication, eg. drivers' li-cense, fill out a short ques-tionnaire (which does not have to be verified), and provide the cash. This is rather odd. I have never heard of anyone killed by a credit card. We value money_ and property over human life. A highly organized sys-tem needs to be developed in which those who wish to purchase handguns must go through a rigor-ous application procedure similiar to that of credit by Dan Wiley Bethel's forensic team placed third out of 11 col-leges at the First Annual National Novice Individ-ual Events Tournament. The event was hosted by the University of Nebras-ka- Omaha on April 2-4. Representing Bethel were Mike Wiseman, Beth Neufeld, Laura Stratton and Linda Nylen. Neufeld led Bethel's team to first place in ex-temporaneous speaking, second place in impromp-tu speaking and third place in persuasive speaking. Wiseman contributed a first place in rhetorical criticism and third place in impromptu speaking. Nylen made it to the final round in impromptu speak-check. If we remove hand-guns from the counters of local sporting good stores and make them accessible only through this string-ent application procedure we may decrease the mi§- use of this weapon. "...

"It's so valuable for build-ing up the soil." "The answers to many of our problems today are in nature. Man has neg-lected nature. We are caught up in a plastic cul-ture," he says. Johnson, 68, was asso-ciate professor of biology at Bethel College in St. Paul for 30 years, but has been "retired" since 1976. Retired? He still teaches geology and horticulture three days a week at Be-thel and is active develop-ing nature trails for camps in the midwest and in Cal-ifornia. He also takes time to put on demonstrations for school children and var-ious community groups on birds, plants, trees and gar-dening. Johnson says his first love is trees which he be-came interested in as a boy in North Dakota. Yes, there are trees there, says Johnson, lots of poplars. He was trained in forestry at the University of Min-nesota and from 1935-41 was a member of the Civ-ilian Conservation Corps of the U.S. Forest Service in northern Minnesota. He was drafted into the army in WWII and then "drafted" into teaching. "I love college students," said Johnson. "Trees don't bark at you, but they don't react to you either." Johnson says he is able to identify trees in any part of the world. "I en-courage people to begin their observation of nature in the winter. There is beau-ty in the arrangement of the buds on the trees." "Then watch the unfold-ing of the buds and flow-ers in the spring. Nature is so synchronized. The tim-ing is marvelous. If people studied nature more, there would be fewer problems," he repeated. In the early 1970s he was a consulting biologist for the Navy, conducting research on edible and poi-sonous plants of Southeast Asia. His work was pro-duced in card packets car-ried by combat person-nel as a part of their sur-vival gear. Locally, John-son has acted as a consul-tant to his neighbor who owns the Pine Ridge green-house and nursery, to the school district and occa-sionally he receives a call from the agricultural ex-tension office. His library is the best one for miles around. The most neglected book of our time, says Johnson, is nature. If only we would learn how to read it. There are weeds in our front yard that are more nutritious than some of the produce we buy at the grocery store. "Dandelion greens are bet-ter for people than the let-tuce we try so hard to grow." It is Johnson's opinion that more people should have small tracts of land and garden. "An acre is as much as anyone needs," he says. "I lived in St. Paul when people had large gar-dens and chickens. One time a policeman told us `you can have the chickens, but get rid of the rooster— it wakes up everyone in the morning." He and his wife Margaret gardened at their home in Roseville until they moved to their 5 acre plot west of Cam-bridge in 1972. "My wife noticed I was getting claustrophobia, so we moved to the country. She decided I should start practicing what I preach," said Johnson, who gardens by natural methods and raises chickens. This sum-mer, he and his son, who lives next door on 5 acres, plan to build a solar pit greenhouse. Johnson claims the gar-bage man hasn't been to his home in 25 years. Every-thing is recycled, much of it going into the compost. "Compost is much better fertilizer than manure," he says. "Manure contains on-ly what the animal ate, but leaves, for example, draw all the nutrients that are in the soil." It's not easy to keep up with a man like Johnson who has accomplished so many things and plans on doing so much more. This man, who feels better at 68 than he did at 40, would like to leave something be-hind. He shouldn't worry. Years ago he started a herb-arium, a collection of dried plants, that is being car-ried on by the biology de-partment at Bethel College. Recently, Johnson conduct-ed ceremonies for the sil-ver anniversary of a St. Paul boy scout troop that he started 25 years ago. (He was a scout master for 20 years.) Besides the hun-dreds of young boys he's instructed in nature and survival techniques, and the thousands of students who've shared his enthu-siasm for soils, plants and rocks, there are scores of grade school children who thank him each year for "showing us the birds." He believes that textbook representations of na-ture are not as interesting to school children as na-ture itself. Johnson is an advocate of sending young people into the field to arouse interest in the na-tion's natural wealth. "Send-ing students in search of a feather is a good way to arouse interest of budding ornithologists." He never received his Ph.D. because he wanted to spend his time teaching and being with his family. His family, says Johnson, is very close and all have an appreciation for the land. He believes it's be-cause he and Margaret placed the children above all else and it has paid off. Now that they are grown, he is starting to think about writing a book. "That's in the future," he said. This summer Johnson will be teaching "horn-stead horticulture" in the Elderhostel program at Be-thel. (Elderhostel is a resi-dential learning program for persons 60 years and older.) He will also be de-veloping self-conducted na-ture walks to camps and, of course, he will be gar-dening. Retired? Not exact-ly. A poem written byone of Johnson's colleagues at Bethel College sums it up.

Calvary Baptist will host the chorus' last con-cert of the year on Sun-day, April 26, at 7 p.m. The free concerts are a combination of sacred hymns, spirituals and psalms accompanied by piano and organ. Four brass instruments are also a part of the program. The weekend's concerts are a culmination of the practice and experience gained during the chorus' week-and-a-half-long tour over spring break. Dr. Mogck, who has di-rected the male chorus for the last nine years, said, "This year has been one of the best." This is Mogck's last year as director but he will teach one more year before retiring. He is eas-ing out of his activities at Bethel. Dr. Bruce Leafblad, asso-ciate professor of church music and worship, will direct male chorus next year. "I am absolutely thrilled at Dr. Leafblad's coming," said Mogck, "and at his willingness to assume the leadership of Bethel's old-est musical group, now in its 69th year of history." Next year Leafblad plans to take the male chorus on a trip to the British Isles. Men who are interested in joining chorus next year should see him to set up an audition. Last March 20 through April 1 the male chorus toured the Upper Midwest, spending most of their time in Michigan. They gave 15 concerts in 12 days and visited a few sites such as the Henry Ford Museum and the Kellogg Company. 'The unity of the group really impressed me," said Bruce Heidlauf, freshman. "Before the trip, I hardly new anyone, but by the end we were like broth-ers." Each of the group members who shared their impresions highlighted the closeness they established with other tour members as meaningful. Tim Steele, senior, compared the tour to "a week-long Christian locker room." Heidlauf said, "Singing in the churches was great. The people took us. in. They went out of their way for us and made us feel like part of the family." Steele, who was the tour manager, tried to arrange for the men to stay with different tour members when they went to the church members' homes each night. 'This is my fifth tour and I never realized how much work went into set-ting up the equipment, fig-uring out where the risers go and when supper was going to be," said Steele, "until I was tour manager. I can appreciate what Chris Jarvis did for the tour in setting things up ahead of time," said Steele. ter than a "B" average in college, and complete scho-larship procedures by June 1 "Through these, awards we are trying to give incen-tive to capable men and women toward vocations of ministry," said Dr. Gor-don Johnson, dean of the seminary. For further information, contact Morris Anderson, director of admissions and financial aid. 'There were many mean-ingful things-it's hard to pinpoint," said Brian Mc- Murray, male chorus pres-ident, "One of the big things was working under Mr. Mogck and also all the friendships we made." Gary Drake, sophomore, compared the tour to "going to a Bible camp on wheels." He said he learned many things musically as well as spiritually. "The highlight of the whole trip," said Drake, "was when the busdriver redicated his life to Christ. We had prayed for him every day of the tour." Bethel budget: tuition costs, fuel increases, food prices. Inflation hits from all angles in the Bethel Col-lege and Seminary $13.7 million budget. To under-stand the costs in operat-ing a private college and seminary, the Clarion ex-plores the top four areas of revenue and expenditures within the budget. Budget, part 5 in a series by Jay Stuart Russell Of Bethel's $13.7 million in expenditures, 32 per cent, or about $4.4 million is spent on the meat of the budget: instruction and re-search. The music and Bible de-as student salaries, course supplies and equipment ex-pense usually take up a proportionately smaller amount of the budget. An example of a typical departmental budget is the English department's $142,955 budget. Full-time faculty salaries account for about 74 per cent of the department's budget, or $105,250. Faculty benefits are $22,610 and part-time faculty salaries are $8750. The remaining $6345 is divided into seven other expen‘se areas: course sup-plies, $2000; student sal-aries (work study), $1400; student salaries (regular), $1375; faculty chairman responsibilities, $850; film rentals, $330; equipment, $250; and travel, $140. The college's portion of the $4.4 million instruc-tion- research expenditure is $3.35 million, of which the academic departments take the bulk of the ex-penditures. Some of the other instructional expen-ditures include an academ-ic administration budget of $166,039 and expendi-tures for faculty develop-ment, testing and evalua-tion, interim, summer pro-grams, wilderness chal-lenge and the writing cen-ter. partments lead the list of 27 academic departments in terms of expenditures at $228,076 and $221,142, respectively. On the other end of the scale, the geo-graphy and geology-physi-cal science departments re-ceive the lowest amounts: $6,150 and $3,730, respec-tively. The geography and geology departments offer only a few courses each year, which accounts for what appears to be an un-usually low amount. Nearly all of the depart-mental areas follow the same-budget patterns: full-time faculty salaries are by far the largest expenditure, fol-lowed by faculty benefits and part-time faculty sal-aries. Other expenses such Seminary awards ministry grants Bethel Seminary will be awarding four $1,000 scho-larships to incoming first-year students who demon-strate outstanding academ-ic ability and leadership potential for ministry.

Extreme con-cern has been voiced re-garding the varieties of pre-judice which we have seen to exist within our cam-pus, and which we have inescapably seen to exist within ourselves. A varie-ty of committees have arisen to confront an even greater variety of preju-dices. One organization leading this tide is the Inte-gration Task Force Com-mittee. The Integration Task Force Committee, as its name implies, has been en-trusted with a certain task or function. This commit-tee's specific task is to re-view the question of racial integration at Bethel as it relates to the implicitly Christian nature of our in-stitution, and to recom-mend counteracting propo-sals to members of our administration and our outlying community. There are a number of innate tensions in procur-ing the goal of diversive unity at Bethel through integration. One of the ma-jor contentions of concern-ed minority students and alumni is that of exper-iencing a very subtle, and yet all too poignant, form of racial prejudice. Notes in the POs, racial slurs in the conversation and jokes, roommate struggles, lack of representative curricu-lum, insufficient numbers of community role models, misrepresentative recruit-ment practices, and a lack of organized support groups are each seen as reflecting both a general lack of cross-cultural con-sciousness and an insid-ious form of prejudice. A further tension in achieving integration at Be-thel is that of Bethel's own cultural restrictiveness. Many observers see Bethel as being designed to serve those and only those corn-ing out of a certain social mold. Diversiveness and cultural expression is not allowed, and many minor-ities see themselves as being forced to conform to Bethel's cultural standards. The opportunity for con-current remedial training for minority students corn-ing from inadequate high schools is also a prohitive factor. In the experience of a number of other Chris-tian colleges participating in integrative programs, it has been found that many minority students require one and one-half to two years of remedial training concurrent with regular coursework before pro-gress matches or surpass-es that of students coming from college preparatory high schools. Failure to make provision to contin-ued remedial training of-ten makes a minority stu-dents appear incapable of carrying a normal academ-ic load. Don Belton, faculty mem-ber and coordinator of the committee to date, has brought the committee to the point of confronting specific policy questions. The membership of the corn-mi t tee involves a number of concerned faculty mem-bers, current Bethel stu-dents, past Bethel minor-ity students and area min-ority pastors. The commit-tee has progressed from an initial discussion of the issues involved to the cur-rent breakdown of the com-mittee into specific focus groups. These groups will review various aspects of integration and prepare pol-icy recommendations. A long-running frustra-tion for many committee members had been the lack of attendance by college administrators. This lack of representation was per-ceived as a lack of concern for the issue. However, four representatives were in attendance at the March 20 meeting of the commit- The Bethel Choir, con-ducted by Dr. Robert Berg-lund, will make its annual appearance at Orchestra Hall in a concert of sacred repertoire on Sunday, April 26, at 3:00 p.m. tick-ets are available through Dayton's and the Orches-tra Hall ticket office. Acclaimed as one of America's leading colle-giate choirs, this 70-mem-ber acappella ensemble will open their program with Renaissance compo-sitions by Pitoni, Praeto-rius and others, to be fol-lowed by the passionate motet "Jesu, Meine Freude" by J. S. Bach. Contempor-ary selections to be sung tee. Those representing the college included: Carl Lundquist, president of the college, George Brushaber, vice-president and dean, James Bragg, vice-presi-dent for college affairs and Rod Long, representative of the student affairs of-fice. Dean Brushaber had also attended the previous meeting of the committee. President Lundquist ex-pressed surprise and con-cern upon hearing of minor-ity student experiences, and identified a number of suggestions for immediate change, as well as pledg-ing a longer term commit-ment to the problem of racism at Bethel. He may not have realized at the time the upcoming pertin-ency of his pledge. The Integration Task Force Committee is strug-gling to confront the diffi-cult questions of integra-tion, which have a great impact not only . on the discriminated, but also upon each of us as dis-criminators. The ultimate tension the Task Force is facing in achieving inte-gration at Bethel is the question of whether we, as an institution and as a community, really desire that integration to occur and are willing to commit ourselves to that goal. by the Bethel Choir in-clude "Three Prophesies from Isaiah" by J.

Coach Paul Reasoner com-mented, "It was a cold, windy day, difficult for tennis, and I was glad the women were able to play well." The individual match scores were: Kathy Lee 6- 2, 6-4; Denise Nygren 6-4, 6-1; Sara Runion 6-0, 6-1; Sharon Johnson 7-6, 6-3; Melanie Bates 6-1, 6-0 and Kris Backlund won by for-feit. Doubles matches were played by pro-sets. The scores were Lee and Run-ion, 10-2; Nygren and John-son, 10-3; and Bates and Linda Hallblade won by forfeit. Tomorrow the women's tennis team will host Con-cordia- St. Paul beginning at 9 a.m. Baseball, from page 8 Moorhead and St. Mary's. Co-captain Jeff Wilson has been the work horse on the mound, compiling a 2-3 record overall. The Royals are always a scor-ing threat with high-pow-ered hitters like Dave Fauth, Dave Mitroff and Paul Lindberg performing at their peaks. Captain Paul Lindberg commented that, "our team is young but rapidly mat-uring with every game." It is hoped that through this season Bethel can build a solid foundation for the future. The Royals continue their season with games against Macalester on Tuesday and a double-header at home on Satur-day, against Augsburg. The American Heart As-sociation and Marigold Foods are sponsoring "Jump Rope for Heart." The event will be held on Saturday, April 25 at South-dale, Ridgedale, Rosedale and Brookdale shopping centers. "Jump Rope–for Heart" consists of teams of six who will take turns skip-ping rope for a maximum of three hours. Participants will raise funds by obtain-ing pledges based on the number of minutes their team jumps. Teams will be assigned on the day of the event and individual prizes will be awarded based on the amount of Summer school, from page 1 A Cooperative Learning Workshop, taught by Ron-ald W. Skon, a current consultant and author, will also be offered during Bethel's summer school pro-grams. Those participants will learn "strategies for improving students' mot-ivation, achievement, self-esteem, and friendship," as well as specific strategies of implementation. It also deals with ideas for inte-grating students with spe-cial needs in the classroom group and methods of prob-lem- solving. The focus of this class will be on "learn-ing together and alone." A key question which will be asked is: "Does it really make a difference whether students compete with each other, or work indi-vidually, or work cooper-atively?" This course is designed for teachers and adminis-trators, emphasizing the need for cooperation in a learning situation. Bethel also provides the unique opportunity for teachers and high school students to participate in a pottery workshop taught by Eugene Johnson, a pot-funds collected. Bobby Smith, Minnesota North Stars hockey play-er, is honorary chairman for the 1981 "Jump Rope for Heart." Smith says, "this event is a chance for people of all ages to take part in fun and healthy exercise, as well as raise money for the fight against this nation's No. 1 killer, heart disease.

The class size for each workshop will give each individual total access to a potter's wheel. A Creative Thinking Strategies workshop, taught by Joyce Juntune of Project REACH, will be offered during August at Bethel. Juntune is a former elementary school teacher, currently the director of Project REACH in the Mounds View school dis-trict. She is an author of articles on creativity as well as instructional mat-erials on creative thinking. The workshop "is designed to give elementary and mid-dleschool teachers the theor-etical base and the appli-cations," helping them to develop their creative think-ing skills for use in the classroom. Bethel College is one of 22 colleges and universi-ties that offer what is call-ed Elderhostel.

Distance runners Wendy Norberg and Ellie Abbott led the team, tak-ing first and second re-spectively in both the 5000-meter and 3000-me-ter races. In the field events Deb Sension finished first in the high jump and third in the long jump. Sara Bar-ker took second in the shot put and third in the dis-cus. Sheila Kroon finished fourth in the javelin and Kathy Kuam took took fifth in both the shot put and the discuss. Hurdler Jenny Burgess was second in the 100- meter race and sprinter Severson dominated the 100-yard dash and took second in the 200-meter dash. Teammate Danette Burgess finished fourth and fifth respectively in both those races. The team hopes to be equally successful in its next meet on Saturday, April 25, at Macalester Col-lege. The women's track team had a tough schedule last week as they competed at St. Cloud University on Thursday and at Luther College-Iowa on Saturday. Coach Cindy Book was ex-tremely pleased about her team's performances in both meets. The highlight of the meet at Luther was Sara Barkers national-qualifying throw in the discus. She needed to hit 130 feet to qualify but managed 135 feet and placed third in that event. Barker also placed fifth in the shot put. Teammate Sheila Kroon set a new Bethel record in the jave-lin, taking second place with a throw of 119 feet. Deb Sension finished fifth in that event and she also tied for fifth in the high jump. Captain Lynn Severson had outstanding perfor-mances in all four of her events at Luther. She ran her first open 400-meter race of the year in 59.8, placing third. She teamed up with Jenny and Danette Burgess and Sherri Lind-quist for three relays; plac, ing third in the 4 x 110 relay, third in the 880 med-ley relay, and second in the 4 x 220 relay.

Last week the team suf-fered two 0-9 losses against Mankato and St. Thomas. St. Thomas is rated highly in the conference and Nor-lander indicated that the Tommies are a top-notch team. John Lilyberg, Bethel's second singles, had a close match against the Tom-mies. The match went to a tie-breaker and Liliyberg was unable to finish on top. Norlander commented that Lilyberg "played his best match of the season." The men's tennis team is now 1-8 in the confer-ence.
