Festival blooms at Bethel
In the summer of 1981,
Bethel College will offer a
variety of courses to cur-rent
students, alumni, stu-dents
from other colleges,
qualified students who
will have completed their
junior year of high school
and adults who are inter-ested
in enriching their
lives.
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.

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

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

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

Tickets are available at

TRADITION! 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!!

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

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?

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

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

of Salvadoran society (pea-sants,
doctors, farmers,
lawyers, etc...) and the

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!

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.

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

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.

shooting ranges are shaped

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

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

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.

Male chorus sings homecoming concert
by Patty Sutton
Bethel College Male Cho-rus
homecoming concert
will be held tonight at 8
p.m. in the Seminary Cha-pel.
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.

"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.

College Choir sings
a perennial concert
By Mark Publow
The issue of prejudice
within Bethel has recently
come to the forefront of
attention. 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-

appearance at Orchestra

Acclaimed as one of

by Pitoni, Praeto-rius
and others, to be fol-lowed

by J. S. Bach. Contempor-ary

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.

Women sweep
tennis meet
By Becky Dye
The women's tennis
team dominated the Nor-mandale
meet last Tues-day,
swept every match,
winning 9-0.
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

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

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

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.

and ahead of Augsburg,
Bemidji State, Willmar Corn-munity

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

Captain Lynn Severson
had outstanding perfor-mances
in all four of her

5-5 record
looks strong
by Mark Wollan
The Royal baseball team
in its first 10 games has
shown its fans and other
teams the positive effects
of hard work, aggressive-ness
and discipline.
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

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".
This Saturday the Roy-als
will be at Mounds view
High School again for ano-ther

The men's tennis team
will have a busy weekend
beginning this afternoon,
they host North Hennepin
and tomorrow they will
travel to River Falls to
compete in a triangular
meet with River Falls and
St. Scholastica.
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.

by Ellie Abbott
The men's track team
placed fourth out of nine
teams in the Bethel invita-tional
last weekend at
Moundsview High School.
Hamline took top honors
with 169 points while St.
Thomas was close behind
with 163.5 points. Bemidji
squeezed by the Royals
with 86, compared to Be-thel's
75 points.
Despite the cold temper-ature,
wind, and rain, the
Royals made a fine show-ing.
Captain Paul Otto led
Bethel with a first place
finish in the 100-meter
dash (10.9) and first in the
