`Wellness' takes holistic approach
by Leann M. Kicker
"Wellness is taking the
responsibility to take care
of ourselves. Wellness is a
lifestyle that goes hand in
hand with Bethel's lifes-tyle,'
said Don Mortenson,
director of residence life.
Wellness is a new pro-gram
at Bethel sponsored
by the Student Affairs Of-fice.
Mortenson heads the
wellness student-faculty
commit tee.
According to the Wel-lness
Education Commit-tee
information letter, well-ness
is the integrated ap-proach
to total well being.
It has six dimensions: spir-itual,
emotional, social corn-munity,
intellectual, physi-cal-
nutritional and voca-tional.
The program is essen-tially
an educational ap-proach
to total health. Ac-by

Saturday, October 18 is
homecoming at Bethel, of-fering
a variety of activi-ties
for alumni and stu-dents.
The activities planned
by the campus coordina-tors
are not the only hap-penings
of the homecom-ing
weekend. The alumni
office has planned some
for alumni also, inviting
students to participate in
some of them.
Saturday at noon a cere-mony
will be held between
the Academic Center and
Fine Arts Buildings to un-veil
a sculpture. Alumni
and students are invited.
Stewart Luckman, asso-ciate
professor of art, made
the sculpture in celebra-tion
of the 20- year reunion
of his and his wife's gra-duation
class.
At 1:30 p.m. students
and alumni can watch the
homecoming football game.
They can relax in the even-ng
at .a banquet held in
honor of the Distinguished
Alumni Award recipients.
The banquet, held in the
gym, begins at 6:30 p.m.
cording to Mortenson, "We
(faculty-staff) saw stu-dents
not sleeping enough
or exercising enough and
eating improperly. We
wanted to do something."
To initiate the program
Dr. Daniel Lambrides spoke
in chapel Sept. 23 on the
biblical teaching about
wellness. Since then in-terested
students and facul-ty
have been asked to par-ticipate
in establishing a
student-faculty organiza-tional
committee.
The committee tentative-ly
plans to prepare semin-ars
once a month that em-phasize
one aspect of total
wellness. Plans also in-clude
a health fair to be
held in February.
The cost is $5.50 per per-son.
The Alumnus of the
Year Award, The Paceset-ter
Award, and the Decade
Award will be presented.
Four Bethel retirees will
also be honored.
After the awards, a cast
of alumni and students
will perform "These Will
such as food service, phy-sical
education and coun-seling.
St. Cloud State Univer-sity
and Stevens' Point pre-sently
have successful pro-grams
of this type. Many
other colleges, businesses
and industries are initiat-ing
similar programs.
Mortenson said, "I think
it's exciting that secular
people want a good life,
the kind of life Christians
have. Bethel already has a
good grasp on it; we just
have to become more aware
of it. That is what well-ness
can help us do. But it
is not magic, just a tool."

Years From Now". Linda

tion after nesting season
next spring. The decision
to move the geese came
during the September 26
meeting of the Site-Devel-opment
Committee. Hugh
McLeod, assistant to the
president, represented the
administration and the Site-
Development Committee.
"The general feeling of
the administration and the
Site-Development Commit-tee
is that they are in agree-ment
that the geese have
become a nuisance, mess-ing
up the walks and green
areas. The Sportsmen's Club
has made repeated efforts
to contain them. There is
no way to contain them, so
the Sportsmen's Club has
offered to remove them.
There are mixed emotions;
most people like the geese
but they are messy," said
McLeod.
Charles Carrier, chair-man
of the Arden Hills
Sportsmen's Club, made a
statement concerning his
decision to remove the
geese. "Bethel has been af-ter
the club for some time
to keep the geese off the
lawn....The committee was
very concerned about the
mess and anxious to see
the number of geese on
the lake reduced....They
were happy, I think. when
I told them if they wanted
the geese gone I would try
to find a new site by
spring. No one appeared
to want the project con-tinued
as stands."
About five years ago
30 giant Canadian geese
were placed on Lake Val-entine
with Bethel's per-mission
by the Arden Hills
Sportsmen's Club. The geese
were pinioned—the first
joint on one wing surgi-cally
clipped to make the
birds permanently unable
to fly, so they would stay
on the lake to establish a
free-flying flock.
Giant Canadian geese,
better known as Canadian
honkers, were thought to
be extinct until 1959 when
a small flock was disco-vered
on Silver Lake in
Rochester, Minn. The geese
on Lake Valentine descend-ed
from the Rochester
flock. At present there are
about 70 on the lake, 20 of
the pinioned, the rest are
free-flying.
According to the "Audo-bon
Society Field Guide to
North American Birds,"
"The giant Canadian goose
is about 35 -45 inches long.
Their habitat includes
lakes, bays, rivers and
marshes. They often feed
in open grassland and stub-ble
fields. They are very
tolerant of man and are
especially noticable in late
summer and early fall,
when they gather on golf
courses and large lawns to
molt." It is during this molt-ing
period that Bethel cam-pus
experiences most of
the mess from the geese.
Fall is also migration sea-son,
so many additional
geese join the regular flock
to molt on the campus.
Bethel has no obligation
to the geese. The shoreline
and a small section of the
lake are Bethel's contribu-tion.
The Sportsmen's Club
pays all the expanses in-volved
in keeping the birds.
They are fed, and in the win-ter
a pump is kept running
to keep a spot of water
open for them. Food—a
supply of corn, soybean
and vitamin supplements-costs
$300 to $400 every
six weeks.
The club pays for the
expenses by having a com-munity
fund-raising raffle
every fall. That usually
brings in about $2000, ac-cording
to Carrier. Also,
every spring the club sells
some of the goslings for
$25 each and raises about
$400. "We usually just
break even," said Carrier.
Carrier has a few pros-pective
sites in mind for
the geese. The most prob-see

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before him
with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with
praise;
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations.
—Psalm 100 (NIV)
A psalm of praise, familiar but extremely note-worthy.
A deviation from the norm, as far as the definition
of an editorial goes. And we continue in an unusual
direction:
Praise the Lord for Bethel—people, buildings, bricks,
and all.
Praise the Lord for friends and acquaintances, likea-bles
and the not-so-likeables.
-Praise the Lord for demanding schedules, the things
which make us get our priorities straight.
Praise the Lord for professors who put out their very
best, who are patient with sleepy-eyed students and
who truly care about individuals.
Praise the Lord for roommates who put up with our
idiosyncracies and love us in spite of it all.
Praise the Lord for Jim Beck, the man responsible for
fewer collisions when exiting the coffeeshop. His "wood-work,"
which has replaced the former view—blocking
concrete blocks, is much appreciated and aesthetically
pleasing.
Praise the Lord for the student leaders, student
senate, whose ultimate objective is to make life at
Bethel a pleasant experience.
Thank the Lord for campus coordinators and their
hard work. Social activities, though sometimes thought
absurb, lighten our thoughts and get us away from that
"bogged-down" feeling.
Thank the Lord for sports events that unite the school
in one spirit.
Thank the Lord for open-mindedness among com-munity
members, recognizing that we need not be of
one mind to be of one spirit—one God.
Thank the Lord for the food service and their contin-uous
efforts to make institution food more like home
cooking. We know it's hard work, and we think they are
going a great job.
Thank the Lord for post office workers who put up
with our impatience when awaiting mail delivery.
Praise the Lord for the outside community(ies) that
supports our inside community (Bethel). Living in the
same neighborhood as hundreds of college students can
be taxing on the nerves.
Praise the Lord for the opportunity to study at a
Christian school.
Praise the Lord for a fellowship of believers.
Praise the Lord for He is Lord.

God's principles for all people
Dear Editor:
The letter from Profes-sor
Mike Roe in last week's
Clarion raised two ques-tions
about some facts
which I cited when speak-ing
in chapel in support of
Ronald Reagan's candida-cy
for president. Perhaps I
can briefly respond to
those questions.
First, the 50 per cent
increase in minority em-ployment
in California
state government under
Governor Reagan was an
increase from 14, 745 to
21,357 employees. The lat-ter
figure represented 17.4
per cent of all state em-ployees.
I do not know
how that percentage corn-pared
with the percentage
of minority groups in the
total state population. How-ever,
it is significant that
this large increase took
place while Governor Rea-gan
was holding the total
number of state employees
almost constant.
Second, how significant
is it that Reagan supports
a pro-life amendment to
the constitution while Car-ter
and Anderson oppose
it? I have to say frankly
that to me this is the single
most important issue of
the campaign, the one
which finally persuaded
me to speak out in favor of
one candidate. It is so ser-ious
that Anderson's own
denomination, the Evan-gelical
Free Church, voted
in national conventional
to go on record as oppos-ing
Anderson's "pro-choice"
position.
Some object that govern-ment
should not enforce
"morality." While I would
agree that government
should not enforce religion
(what church to go to, what
doctrines can be taught), I
think government must en-force
moral behavior (not
killing, not stealing, not
committing rape or kidnap-ping
or perjury, not using
heroin, etc.).
But which moral stand-ards
should all govern-ments
enforce? The moral
standards in the Bible.
These are not "my" stand-ards
or only "Christian"
standards; they are the
laws given by the creator
of all people everywhere.
He has also written these
laws on every person's
heart and holds everyone
responsible for obeying
them (Rom. 1: 18-32, 2: 14-
16), just as he holds gov-ernments
responsible for
enforcing them (Rom. 13:
3-4; Dan. 4:27).
The. Old Testament con-tains
many examples of
God's judgment against
unbelieving nations who
seriously disobeyed his
laws: Obadiah prophesied
against Edom, Jonah and
Nahum against Ninevah,
Daniel against Babylon,
Habakkuk against Chal-dea
(Hab. 2) etc. (See also
Isa. 13-23, Jer. 46-48, Ezek.
25-32, Amos 1-2, Zeph. 2).
This is why I am con-cerned:
I see no significant
difference between the si-lence
of many German
Christians while Adolph
Hitler was murdering six
million Jews, and the si-lence
of Christians today
while we have let our na-tion
take the lives of over
seven million unborn chil-dren.
I do not know why God's
patience has waited long-er
with us than it did with
Hitler, but I also see no
reason to think we can
avoid judgment much if
this great evil continues.

Need money? The job
board located outside of
the student affairs office,
third floor Fine Arts Build-ing,
offers a variety of posi-tions
in which students
can earn money.
The job board offers an
array of jobs such as coach-ing
a sport, directing choirs,
kitchen work, saleswork
and yard work. Many other
jobs are listed, such as
;housecleaning in which a
student can earn money
without having set hours.
The placement office
runs a job board at Bethel.
Jeanne Sawtell, placement
co-ordinator said, "Bethel
needs letters to different
companies to inquire about
openings." These compan-ies,
and other private in-dividuals,
send informa-tion
about job openings."
The opening is then
posted on the job board
for three to four weeks
before taken down. New
openings are posted every
week. .
When posted, the job is
put on an index card along
with the name, his phone
number and address of the
employer. The student can
contact the employer mak-ing
contacts through the
placement office.
• Sawtell said the job
board has been successful
for students so far. "We
see many students using
the board. We also get pos-itive
feedback from employ-ers
about the students."
The job board is set up
for the students because
not every student is eligi-ble
for work-stUdy. It be-gan
as an effort to make
job hunting as efficient as
possible for the student.
Because the employers list-ed
on the job board need •
help, the Bethel student
has a good chance of get-ting
the job.

Little Lake Johan-na
is also being considered,
however, the lake is too
deep and the residents may
object. Carrier is also look-ing
at other sites but he
said they may have to sell
the whole flock if an ade-quate
site is not found.
Carrier has appreciated
the opportunity to use Lake
dens as opposed to the
longer time for runs to Old
Campus last year, but there
are not enough drivers for
more runs.
Tanquist is training-in
new drivers now. At pres-ent,
one person drives full-time
and nine others work
on a part-time basis.
Discussing overcrowd-ing
on the afternoon runs,
he said, "I was waiting to
Valentine. "We have enjoy-ed
the stay on the lake. We
weren't intending to leave
without Bethel's encourage-ment.
But we are here
thanks to Bethel's good
will."
The geese have been a
source of pleasure to many.
Many students are disap-pointed
that the geese may
be leaving. One student
says she "enjoys the geese
when she runs by." Stu-see
if things quieted down
after choir started." Tan-quist
said that it is still too
crowded for his satisfac-tion.
Two changes have alrea-dy
been made. One of the
Har-Mar and Rosedale
runs has been delayed one-half
hour and the 5 p.m.
run leaves at 5:15 instead.
As students have settled
into a regular pattern, Tan-quist
said he expects to be
able to judge better what
changes need to be made.

"We can't guarantee to
faculty members that a stu-dent
who comes to the
writing center will turn in
a perfect paper," declared
Lynn Fauth, professor of
English and writing coor-dinator.
"But we can gua-rantee
that the paper the
student does turn in will
be better than the paper he
would have turned in if he
had not come to the writ-ing
center."
The writing center, AC
320, provides a chance for
students to receive any
type of help they need on a
paper. The writing lab
hours are Mondays, 11:30-
5 p.m. and 7-10 p.m.; Tues-dent
Jerry Manus, said "I
like the geese, I like look-ing
at them. I hope we will
always have them. I con-sider
it (the mess) a very
trivial matter.
Dan Taylor, professor
of language and literature,
said, "I want to say one
thing: geese is great. Ser-iously,
there are a lot of
people who are more ex-pendable
than those geese."

Faculty and students
agree that the political
issues of foreign affairs
and economics will influ-ence
them when they cast
their votes in the Novem-ber
4th election, revealed
a recent poll at Bethel.
In a random poll, 22 fac-ulty
members and 230 stu-dents
were asked which
two political issues would
most influence their vote.
Though allowed to iden-tify
two issues, some peo-ple
chose only one. The
choices included abortion,
defense (budget), econom-ics,
foreign affairs, ERA,
energy and distrust of
other candidates.
Of the 463 votes tallied,
foreign affairs received
21.5 per cent, economics
21.1 per cent, defense 16.4
per cent, distrust of other
days, 12 noon-5 p.m. and
7-10 p.m.; Wednesdays,
8:30-10 a.m., 11:30-5 p.m.
and 7-10 p.m.; Thursdays
8:30-10 a.m. and 12 noon-5
p.m.; and Fridays, 11:30-
3:30 p.m. No appointment
is necessary.
The writing center can
help provide ideas for dev-eloping
a topic or help at
any stage of the paper,
according to Dave Healy,
assistant director of the
writing center. "We can do
students the most good
when they come in with
words on paper," he added.
The time spent with a
student ranges from 15-90
minutes. Most students are
in the writing lab for 20-30
minutes. The staff mem-
Beth Stien, senior, ex-claimed,
"You're kidding!
What would Bethel be with-out
geese?"
Without the pinioned
geese the hope is that Be-thel
will be cleaner. And,
McLeod stated, maybe the
free-flying flock the Sports-men's
Club has established
will continue to come here
every year. But we hope
that there won't be so many
of them.
candidates 11.2 per cent,
abortion 11 per cent, ener-gy
10.7 per cent and ERA
6.2 per cent.
Other issues such as can-didate
character, global per-spective
received 1.5 per cent.
Other than foreign af-fairs,
economics and dis-trust
of other candidates,
faculty and student issue
choices differed substan-tially
(see chart).
With their 421 total
votes, students ranked for-eign
affairs as most per-sonally
influential with 90
votes, economics next with
88; defense garnered third
place with 73; abortion re-ceived
51, distrust of other
candidates 48, energy 43
votes and ERA 23 votes.
With their 42 total votes,
faculty members favored
foreign affairs and econo-mics
equally, with each
receiving 10 votes. Energy
bers are students who ap-plied
for the job or were
recommended by teachers.
The help session begins
with either the student or
the student worker read-ing
the paper aloud. Healy
outlined the general pro-cedure
as looking for a
recognizable thesis of the
work, checking the sup-port
offered by the paper
as a whole, and the "fine
tuning." This includes cor-rections
in usage, arran-gement
of words and gram-mar.
He pointed out that
the writing center is not a
proofreading service for fi-nal
copies of papers.
The reaction of the stu-dents
has been quite favor-able,
Healy reported. He
encourages students to
bring back the paper with
the comments from the
teacher. He would also like
to see more feedback from
the faculty.
We would like to attract
more students who con-sider
themselves good wri-ters,"
Healy said. "We feel
that we have something to
offer anyone; any writing
can be improved," he con-tinued.
"Our aims," Fauth stated,
"are to help the incompe-ranked

competent writer become
an excellent writer, and to
help the excellent writer
become a superior writer."
According to Healy, the
majority of the students
using the writing center
are freshmen, but many
upperclassmen have come
back this year. Last year
258 people visited the writ-ing
center. Fauth said that
he has worked not only
with students, but also fac-ulty
and staff. The busiest
time, according to Healy,
is first semester, especial-ly
when the first papers
for "Words. and Ideas" are
due.
The biggest change for
the center, in existence
since 1975, created the pos-ition
of writing coordina-tor
and placed the center
under the department/di-vision
of general studies,
rather than the English de-partment.
"Good writing
does not belong in just
English classes; good writ-ing
belongs in all classes,"
Fauth stated.
"The writing center is in
operation," Healy explain-ed,
"to improve the over-all
quality of writing done
at Bethel College."

Homecoming.
Bethel homecoming fes-tivities
31 years ago cen-tered
around the home-coming
of former students,
or the alumni. All activi-ties
were scheduled for
two days only, Friday and
Saturday.
Alumni registered at the
library when they arrived
at Bethel, where they could
pick up their "packets con-taining
Homecoming but-tons
and Clarions... Class-es
were open to the alumni
all day Friday.
Decorated dormitories
competed for the Student
Council Homecoming
Award. The old Edgren
residence had won the year
before.
Friday evening's activi-ties
included a smorgas-bord
which featured the
junior class skit, "Coming
or Going?" Afterward, an
alumni-varsity basketball
game was held in the gym.
The main event was Sa-turday,
when the Bethel
"Indians" met Austin Jun-ior
College at a football
game in Highland Stadi-um.
Concluding the two-day
celebration was a pro-gram
in the college chapel,
displaying alumni talent.
Street meetings.
One popular form of evan-gelism
involving Bethel stu-dents
was the street meet-ing.
Teams of students
went to various neighbor-hoods
in the area to sing,
give testimonies and pass
out tracts on street cor-ners.
Students also played
instrumental numbers to
attract passers-by.
The teams were open to
all students, with street
meetings held on Satur-day
evenings. The team

and New Brighton.
Talar Svensk?
Swedish was an impor-tant
part of the foreign
languages department, as -
were the Spanish and Ger-man
languages. French
was not yet a part of the
department's program.
Each of the three groups
also had their own lan-guage
clubs.
Dorm rules.
Students may think
dorm rules are a hassle in
1980, but Bethel history
reveals that rules were of
a stricter nature 30 years
ago. This was especially
true for women's dorms,
which had frequent "house"
meetings.
"Freshmen women learn
about house meetings on
one of the first nights of
their college careers. Un-suspectingly
they gather
to be told that the dormi-tory
is their home, but—
and then they are told how
they can and cannot be-have
in their dormitory-home."
Freshmen men did not
share the same degree of
strictness: "Oh, yes, some-thing
was mentioned about
men's dorms. Rules? They
have only one: Conduct
yourselves in such a way
that you won't need any
others. House meetings?
They don't have 'em."
Music minor.
Music was not yet of-fered
as a major or con-centration
in Bethel's cur-riculum,
but it was offered
as a minor. Advanced mu-sic
theory and history of
music were added to the
curriculum, which had on-ly
included the courses,
fundamentals of music, mu-sic
theory and music ap-preciation.

"I hope the sculptures
will enrich people and
bring another part of life
to them," said Stewart Luck-man,
associate professor
of art. "Christians deserve
to be exposed to the fine
arts including sculpture."
Some of Luckman's sculp-tures
are on loan to the col-lege
and located around
campus. Tne one between
the FA and AC buildings
was purchased for Bethel
and will be officially un-veiled
this weekend.
The pieces on campus
have been shown in one-man
shows around the
United States, including
one at the Minneapolis In-stitute
of Art.
"The sculpture adds a
new dimension to campus,"
said Luckman, "as does
the tree-planting and land-scaping.
A fine touch is
here now."
Luckman said that the
sculpture "grows out of
travel and photographs
from sites between Victo-ria,
British Columbia, and
the Adirondack Mountains
in upstate New York."
Each of his pieces has a
title, sometimes having to
do with the piece and other
times it is "just part of my
filing system."
When he finishes put-ting
together a piece, Luck-man
surfaces it with a
black rust finisher. He said
he likes the black steel
look because it is elegant.
"The sculptures should
weather well and only,need
touching up every two or
three years," said Luck-man.
Luckman gets his mate-rials
from factories, junk-yards
and steel-yard stock.
He said that some other
artists are doings similar
types of sculpture, but "the
poetry is very individual-istic,
a singular voice."
Luckman has been at
Bethel since 1966. He grad-uated
in art from Macales-ter
and did his graduate
work at the U of M.

1WildHoney and Camel Hair
by Ted Lewis
One day as I was stuffing p.o.'s for Olivet Baptist, I
overheard this brief conversation through a mail box.
"Hi Sylvia. Haven't seen ya for ages! How are ya?"
"Oh...fine," replied a higher voice. As a hand entered
the p.o. for seconds on trash candidate, she returned,
"And how are you doin'?"
"Fine. Tomorrow I'm going—"Clinkch! The words
were shut off as the door to the vault was secured.
"Fine," I echoed softly while staring at my feet. "Fine.
Fine? What in the world does 'fine' mean? In comtem-plative
frustration, I resumed my leafletting.
All I could think of was a half-a-lemon being pulped
out until the .rind alone remained. "A nice shiny out-side,"
I whispered satirically, "but an empty inside. A
nice four-letter word, but void of content." Thai night I
.determined to investigate the dubious nature of word
'fine.'
Certain Bic pens are fine because they draw thin
lines, not thick lines. Certain sandpapers are fine
because they smooth wood surfaces, not scratch them.
Certain knives are fine because their blades are very
sharp, not dull.
In short, the word 'fine' is defined by the quality of
something in contrast to its opposite. So when you walk
outside in the morning, stretch your arms to inhale, and
comment, "My, what a fine day today," you imply that
rotten weather is nowhere in view.
Now somewhere in history we started to call our-selves
fine when others asked about our condition. Yet
different from our descriptions of pens and sandpaper,
our opinions about ourselves began to blur the distinc-by
Brad Nauman
Peter Meintsma, one of
Bethel's new faculty mem-bers
for the 1980-81 school
year, has a very unusual
second job. Along with be-ing
a part-time american
history teacher here at
Bethel, and being on the
full-time staff at Anoka-
Ramsey Community Col-lege,
Meintsma is the may-or
of Crystal, Minnesota.
Meintsma first became
involved in politics in 1970
when he ran for the state
legislature and was defeat-ed.
In 1973 he ran for may-or
of Crystal and defeated
the incumbent. This year
Meintsma is once again
running for the post of
state representative. He is
the DFL candidate from
district 44b.
Meintsma feels three
main issues are important
in the upcoming election:
the preservation of prop-erty
taxes, continuing state
support for public educa-tion
and the preservation
of our natural resources.
He is very concerned
about the natural resources
issue. He feels that if we
don't get a proper handle
on pollution, there won't
be anything left for the
next generation.
Meintsma began his col-lege
teaching career at
Northwestern College in
the late 1950s. He was
there for six years. While
at Northwestern he had
current Bethel faculty mem-bers
John Bower, Dave
Klostreich, and Tom Cor-rell
as students.
After leaving Northwes-
Meintsma's involvement
in politics grew out of his
belief that "Christians
ought to be concerned
about others in society."
He has had a long-stand-ing
interest -in government
and says that "government
is there to meet the needs
of the people." He believes
that he has been able to
integrate his faith in Christ
into his job through serv-ing
people.
tive meaning of the word 'fine.' Do we not often voice to
others "Quite fine today, thank you," when in actuality
we are laden with a host of pressures? What fosters this
ironic kind of communication?
First of all, we need neutral words in our conversa-tions.
Unless we are sick, the word protects others from
having to listen to us with concern. Many times honesty
isn't worth the mental energy we exhaust through self-examination.
So we tell others we're fine.
Secondly, our milieu reinforces the notion that it is
good when a person has no personal struggles and bad
if they do. Physical illness is acceptable. But emotional
turmoil, intellectual questioning and conflict with value
systems are deemed as symptoms of the weak person.
To them we silently say, "Something is wrong with
you." And so we tell others we are fine.
The third reason stems from this last notion. We are
extremely concerned about what others think of us.
Because we want others to like us, we hide our unlikea-bles.
We portray an image of ourselves to others—an
image that stays on top of ourselves—an image that
stays on top of things. And so we tell others we are fine.
The core of this issue is not so much being honest
with others as much as being honest with ourselves.
Our habit of saying a hollow `fine' has its good side. But
when we cover-up our own weaknesses without realiz-ing
such supression, we face the dangers of escapism.
In brief, we automatically lie to others about how we
feel because the untruth doesn't hurt them. We do hurt
ourselves, however, when we believe our own lies
about our present state, thinking we are fine when
we're not.
tern, Meintsma spent one
year at Wisconsin State
College, Superior, From
there he moved to Anoka-
Ramsey Community Col-lege
where he has been for
the last 14 years. He con-siders
teaching to be his
number one job and polit-ics
number two.
A typical day in Meint-sma's
life consists of teach-ing
in the morning, cam-paigning
all afternoon and
all evening, coming home
and getting organized for
the next day, and going to
bed. He said, "I wake up
about two or three times
every night and worry
about my campaign."
Meintsma is married and
has two grown sons named
Kurt and Kevin. His wife
Senor, ("Sonny") runs her
own interior decorating
business.
But, just for a change, let's surprise others with the
truth. If we feel rotten when someone asks how we are,
let's say, "Rotten." If we're confused about going through
some foggy period, let's say, "Well, I'm not sure, how I'm
doing." And if we feel content, let's be specific and say,
"Very content today, thank you." Our real friends will
soon unveil themselves. Indeed, what we need is a
revolution of honesty.
An aside: If we equate true spirituality with staying
on top of things, then we must neglect half the Psalms.
We must overlook Christ's emotional agony at Lazarus'
tomb and at Gethsemane. And we must gloss over
prominent New Testament teachings on maturation
which explains the reality of trials and affliction as
essential for growth.
To the contrary, we must redefine spirituality as
being fully human as God designed. We must boldly
stride through the many hardships of life rather than
leap over them. We must admit that we live in tension
between the Fall and Christ's return. Yes, we stand
with the cross in history, where suffering and glory are
inseparable. We too must find life because we lose life
painfully.
If Sylvia is reading this she'd probably tell me, "Why
make a mountain out of an ant hill? Telling others you
are fine is hardly an issue!"
Perhaps. But little things are often the clearest signs
of bigger things. Could it be that the way we tell others
how we are reflects a much deeper issue at hand: we
hide our weaknesses because we're afraid of exposure.
Well, if that's the case, then we, like film lodged in a
camera, will never get developed.

World travels enrich education for Bethel senior
by Sharon Waller
Paul Varberg, senior,
chose to get an education
last year by taking a trip
around the world. Varberg
traveled for seven months,
visiting 23 countries, for
less than the cost of attend-ing
Bethel for a year. His
purpose was to "see the
world from a mission's per-spective,"
said Varberg.
Their adventure began
in October, 1979, when Var-berg
and his friend, Ray
Walkwitz, flew to London
where they purchased a
Volkswagen van. The van
provided not only trans-portation,
but also a place
to sleep and prepare their
meals.
Varberg assumed that
in England they would be
able to communicate well.
The first week, they found
out otherwise when their
van needed a new muffler.
After unsuccessfully ask-ing
many people where
they could get a muffler,
one man replied, "Oh, what
you want is a silencer."
There were numerous
other instances in which
they found it difficult to
communicate, for example,
the English referred to girls
as birds.
In their travels through
Europe, they stopped in
Amsterdam, where Var-berg
was confronted by
many drug pushers. He
said these dealers and pros-titutes
lined the streets and
boldly approached them.
When they arrived in Ger-many
they met three other
Bethel students who were
studying at a school there.
The town of Varberg,
Sweden, was of special in-terest
to Varberg. They
spent time there looking
through Varberg castle
and museum.
They spent Thanksgiv-ing
quietly, at L'Abri, a
Christian retreat center in
Switzerland, then they at-tended
the communion ser-vice
in Italy led by Pope
John Paul.
Varberg's experience in
several communist coun-tries
changed his sympa-thetic
attitude toward com-munism
into one of hatred.
Yugoslavia, one of the
most liberal communist
countries, has much more
freedom than others.
Bulgaria, one of the strict-er
communist countries, is
a backward nation, said
Varberg. "It was like step-ping
back in history to the
depression of the 1930's.
The people wore long, drab
clothing, and their techno-logy
was primitive," he
said. We stuck out like a
sore thumb and everyone
ignored us for fear of the
guards who watched
them."
One young person, who
was planning to defect,
invited them to stay with
him. Varberg said his
changed ideas resulted
from talking with this man,
who explained the fears of
the people living in Bul-garia.
Varberg and Walkwitz
planned to be in Bethle-hem
for ChristMas. They
participated in the celebra-tion
there. They continued
their travel in Israel for
the next month, learning
the geography of the Bible.
Although most Ameri-cans
fear traveling in Tur-key
after seeing Midnight
Express, they found the
people here to be very
friendly. They visited Tar-sus,
Antioch and other cit-ies
on the apostle Paul's
journies. Syria and Jordan
interested them because of
the Crusader and Arabian
castles.
One adventure led them
into the desert searching
for an Arabian castle. Af-ter
going 40 kilometers in-to
the desert, without
roads, the van got stuck in
a seasonal river. They
worked for ten hours to
get the van out, but were
unsuccessful.
Finally, they walked to
the castle to get help. An
Arabian Bedouin with a
shotgun and saber was at
the entrance. Though he
seemed fierce, he cordially
invited them into his room
and served them a thick
tea. He also played his
instrument, made from a
Mobil oil can, a stick, and
hair from a donkey tail.
Realizing that this scraw-ny
Bedouin could not help
them, they returned to their
van which was still in the
middle of the river. They
spent the night here and
prayed that the river would
dry up before morning. By
the next morning, the river
had dried, and they were
able to leave for Saudi
Arabia.
"This was the only coun-try
where I've seen so many
people driving around in
dusty Rolls Royces," com-mented
Varberg. Gasoline
in Saudi Arabia was sold
like water, costing only 25
cents a gallon. But, bottled
water was sold for $1.60.
Varberg and Walkwitz
sold their van and split up.
Varberg flew to Malaysia
where he observed a Hin-du
ceremony. During this
ritual, hundreds of men,
women and children pierced
their cheeks and lips with
prongs, and forced hooks
into their skin in an effort
to gain forgiveness.
Varberg then returned
to the Philippines, where
he had lived with his par-ents
until he came to Be-thel.
He spent the next
three months working with
the churches and travel-ing
into the mountains to
visit the different tribes.
He returned to the U.S.
to finish school this year.
He said that he never had
any problem eating the

Bowl-of-Rice dollar supports orphans
by Laura Phillips
Six Haitian orphans
could not survive if not for
Bethel's support via the
BoWl-of-Rice program.
Every Monday noon fac-ulty,
students and admin-istrators
may buy a bowl
of rice for $1 in the cafe-teria.
The money is credit-ed
to the Public Action Com-mi
lice (PAC) via Bethel's
banking window. PAC's
treasurer, Debbie Bow-man,
junior, then sends a
monthly check to Haiti.
The entire dollar paid
for each bowl of rice goes
to the orphans. Bethel's
food service contributes to
the program by paying for
the rice students eat.

The six orphans Bethel
supports are from broken
homes, and/or families
who cannot support them.
The children live in Chris-tian
foster homes in Haiti.
A foster care inspector vis-its
each child once a month.
The six children are: Ra-monde,
12; Venita, 10; Be-nita

Fellowship of Christian
Athletes (FCA) is a na-tional
Christian organiza-tion
that is open to any-one,
not just athletes. "We
encourage anyone who is
interested in athletics to
attend our meetings," said
Mark Wollan, Bethel's new
FCA leader.
FCA meets as a big
group one night during the
last week of every month
to hear a guest speaker.
Sports Spirit
The group holds Bible
studies every other Sun-day
night to discuss what
the speaker said.
"We hope to be challenged
by the speaker and then
get into smaller groups on
Sunday night and get into
God's word and further
discuss the speaker's mes-sage,"
stated Wollan. "This
will help us to build rela-tionships
with each other
and grow in the Lord," he
added.
The special speaker for
September was Minne-sota

against St. Thomas at 10
a.m. for their homecoming
match. Bethel beat St. Tho-mas
decisively earlier in
the season but Coach Cin-dy
Book said, "We've learned
not to go into matches think-ing
they'll be a breeze."
Last week the volleyball
team had a light week,
defeating Northwestern in
a thriller match Thursday
in five games, 11-15, 11-
15, 15-3, 15-14 and 15-9.
"We had an extremely
slow start. We couldn't
seem to get continuity; we
couldn't get momentum,"

His outlook for the rest
of the season is to just take
one game at a time. He
says the team is playing
good at times but that they
need to strive for consis-tency.
Lutton feels that the
spirit on the team is really
good. "The players' qual-ity
will show through the
adversity," said Lutton.
Even though this is the
smallest team he has ever
coached, Lutton thinks that
the team has its strong
points. "We have the frame-work
for a good passing
game with two very good
passers and good pass
blocking," said Lutton.
When the head coaching
job at Bethel became avail-able,
Lutton was not sure
that this was where the
Lord wanted him. After
visiting the campus and
meeting with the people
here, he decided that if he
was offered the job the
Lord wanted him at Be-thel.
Lutton said, "I believe
that when the Lord opens
doors it is really impor-tant
to investigate them."
He feels that Bethel and its
people have a lot of poten-tial
to do great things for
the Lord and he is excited
to be in an atmosphere
like this.

commented Coach Book.
Bethel was down 10-4
in the third game and Coach
Book called Bethel's final
time-out. As soon as the
huddle broke apart Pam
Madson went in and served
seven straight points.
"We just decided we
couldn't wait any longer;
the women were deter-mined.
They realized they
were the more skilled team.
The momentum changed
and Northwestern fell
apart," reflected Book.
This victory earned Be-thel
a 2-1 conference record.
Bethel also defeated Con-cordia-
St. Paul in three
games, 15-4, 15-9 and 15-

know who you were talk-ing
about if you were to
mention these names in a
conversation. For those
who don't know who they
are, respectively, the late
coach of the University of
Chicago football team in
the early 1900's, the pres-ent
coach at the Univer-sity
of Alabama and the
coach at Grambling Uni-versity.
They were, until last Sa-turday's
Bethel-St. John
game, the only coaches in
collegiate history that have
won at least 200 games in
Coach Book commented
on the victory, "Concordia
is the weaker team, the
scores and different play
combinations. We're get-ting
ready for the state
tournament, so we used
this opportunity to try
some new things."
The junior varsity team
was also successful last
week, defeating Concordia-
St. Paul, 15-4, and 15-9
and Northwestern 15-12
and 15-6.

the past 32 years. He be-came
the coach to win 200

New head football coach
Dudley Lutton isn't discour-aged
despite the team's 0-
4 record. He has faced a
situation like this before.
Lutton comes to Bethel
from Rocky Mountain Col-lege,
a small liberal arts
school in Billings, Mon-tana.
He spent five years
on the football coaching
staff at Rocky Mountain-four
as head coach.
When he arrived at
Rocky Mountain, football
was not a very popular
sport there. The team spent
many Saturdays getting
badly beaten. In one game
the other team scored 96
points against them.
Lutton believes that with-in
three years he will have
his program going here at
Bethel. He feels that by
then he will have the nu-cleus
of a good team and
Bethel will be competing
on a higher level. "Bethel
will be a winner even if we
don't come out ahead on
the scoreboard," said Lut-ton.
