Vol. 56, No. 4 Bethel College St. Paul, MN Oct. 10, 1980 Required senior tests evaluate curriculum Work-study program provides $ for school by Debbie Anderson Sooner or later, almost everyone who goes to col-lege will have to think about graduation. To grad-uate from Bethel, a stu-dent must, among other requirements, take a senior test (see p. 4 of the Bethel College Registration Cata-log). "Senior testing is a test-ing program that is re-quired of all concentrators in areas where there are senior tests," said Steve McNeel, professor of p4- chology and director of evaluation and testing. The tests were developed by the Educational Test-ing Service. - For January graduates, the test is given in Novem-ber. Spring graduates take their test in late March or early April. The test con-sists of questions that ap-ply only to their particular concentration. Double ma-jors may take both tests, although this is primarily a decision of the indivicIL ual departments. The test consists mostly of multi-ple choice questions, al-though there is some vari-ability, according to Mc- Neel. The tests are divided into sub-areas within the subject. For instance, some of the sub-areas for the test in pscyhology are so-cial pscyhology and per-sonality, experimental psychology and develop-mental pscyhology. The tests, said McNeel, are given for a number of reasons. The benefit to the student is that it serves as a comparative evaluation of the student's knowledge in that particular field of study. Students can see how they compare to other graduating seniors and they can also get a feel for how well they have mas-tered their concentration. see page 6 by Jay Stuart Russell An era of Bethel history is gone forever. No more jogging over to Como Park, no more fair-ground parking on the campus, no more of those "clanking" heaters, and no more bus rides to old campus. This time, old campus is gone for good. For years, Bethel has solved its housing prob-lems on new campus by housing students on old campus. And, for years, old campus residents com-plained of the aging facili-used in 1914, Bethel will have nothing to do with old campus. The job corps center is almost ready to move in. Job Corps is a federally funded program designed to prepare unemployed 16- to 21-year-old youths for jobs. According to Brent Lewis, a manpower plan-ner with the city of St. Paul, "Remodeling of the facilities should be com-pleted in December or early January of 1981." Construction began in March, 1980. Lewis said he expects the program operators and staff to begin working when the facility is ready to be occupied, but the students will not move in until sometime in April. To prepare the facilities for the new program, ren-ovation plans include con-struction of new walls were needed, installation of a sprinkler system to meet fire codes and instal-lation of elevators in all of the buildings except for the fieldhouse, making the buildings accessible to the handicapped. , The cafeteria will be remodeled and occupying the same location in Bo-dien as it did when Bethel was on old campus. Win-dows in some buildings by Sharon Waller They are all over the' Bethel campus. They may be dishing ice cream in the coffeeshop, pushing a va-cuum cleaner in the music lounge, or sitting behind the desk in one of the offi-ces. Regardless of what they are doing, they are a part of the work-study program. "Bethel employs be-tween 500 and 600 stu-dents. Out of this num-ber, about 60 per cent are in work-study," commented Joan Correll, student em-ployment and loan coordi-nator. Many students still do will be replaced and air conditioning 'installed. Lewis said they do not plan to build any new buildings, but tennis courts may be built if the present courts are not repaired. Total renovation costs are estimated at $1.5 million. All the buildings will be used when the center opens, except for the old Hagstrom dormitory, and the original administra-tion building. "We have no plans to use Hagstrom now, but will probably use it in the future," said Lewis. The administration building will be preserved so it does not deteriorate. Lewis said the field-house will be used as is, but the main building on the southwest corner of the campus will house most of the academic pro-gram. The library will be a vocational educational building for welding, ma-chine shop and clerical training. "We're still planning to use the old dorms as dor-mitories, but some of-the educational programs, such as cooking and nurs-ing, will be located in Bo-dien." Women will be housed in Bodien, and men housed in Edgren. see page 7 not know what this pro-gram is about, including those who are involved in . it. Correll also noted, "Of-ten students who should apply for financial aid, fail to do so." Many students could be eligible for work-study, yet they forfeit it because they fail to apply for financial aid, she said. What is work-study, how does it fit in with financial aid, and when is one eligible for the pro-gram? On-campus jobs are a-vailable to all students who want to work to pay for their education. Two types of campus employ-ment are provided: the government subsidized work-study program and the Bethel work program. Work-Study does not mean pay for studying. It is a federal and/or Minne-sota state aid program de-signed to provide jobs for students who have app-lied for financial aid and have shown a demonstrat-ed financial need, as ex-plained in the "Student Employment Handbook." The federal government pays 80 per cent of such students' earnings, and Bethel pays the other 20 per cent. "This makes them desirable to hire. So, it is to their advantage to have it as part of their financial aid package," said Correll. "Financial aid packages are a combination of gift aid and self help. Gift aid comes in the form of grants; this is free money," Correll explained. Minne-sota state grants, basic grants, Bethel grants, par-ticipation grants, and min-isterial grants are the most common forms of gift aid. Self help includes Na-tional Direct Student Loans, Guaranteed Stu-dent Loans, and campus employment. This is where the work-study jobs come into the financial aid package. "They try to bal-ance them so that the stu-dent is not receiving all see page 7 ties, long bus rides, incon-venience and isolation from new campus. With the job corps ren-ovation nearing comple-tion, the end 'to the old campus blues is finally becoming a reality. Although Bethel's old campus on Snelling and Nebraska Avenues was sold well over two years ago to the federal govern-ment, the campus con-tinued to house students the past few years, under a special agreement with the government. But this year, for the first time since the facility was first OC metamorphosis finished almost editorial Compassion needed ...so is an elevator Only 48 steps separate Doc's corner on the first floor, AC building, from third floor classroom6. It takes little effort to climb the conveniently placed stairwell—only 48 steps. If one is unable to climb those steps, however, one must travel more than the length of two football fields, using the school's only elevator, to make that same trip. Because Bethel has only one elevator, it receives heavy use. Janitors, library workers, postal workers, and many others use the elevator for heavy loads. Other people use it when they are tired, and still others use it because they cannot climb the stairs. A recent Clarion article told about the new science addition. The building will not contain an elevator, because it would increase the construction cost by eight per cent. We think that the situation deserves more careful and compassionate consideration. The academic building presently houses over half of all classrooms. The new additions will place an even larger majority of classrooms, and all of the labs, at the opposite end of the buildings from the elevator. To travel from the cafeteria or coffee shop to the second floor of the AC or science building, will require a walk through six sets of heavy double doors and two trips outside. Sub-zero temperatures will dramatically worsen the situation. The addition of an elevator would make this route unnecessary. Instead, handicapped students could fin-ally reach that area of the school as freely as most of us. Janitors would also have the advantage of two eleva-tors, eliminating the frequent long waits while mainte-nance jobs are completed Once workers complete the new building, it will be next to impossible to add an elevator, costs at a later date would rise above the eight per cent projected for an elevator presently. We suggest that those responsible for this building project place the importance of people above dollar figures. We are often assured that Bethel is more than buildings and bricks, yet the absence of concern over a new elevator lends little proof for this claim.

Manipulation is always present, but it becomes par-ticularly pervasive during political campaigns. A general approach is to provide data out of con-text and/or of dubious na-ture to people who prefer to passively "sop-up" ra-ther than actively "reflect-upon." Unfortunately, Bethel people are no less suscepti-ble to such manipulation. For example, consider some responses to cam-paign facts, figures, and ideology encountered in Be-thel's halls: FACT: It is a fact that Reagan supports the pro-life amendment and his two opponents do not. For many this informa-tion is sufficient to label Carter and Anderson "baby killers" and Reagan the Christian choice for pres-ident. Few reflect on why the candidates take their respective stands. Perhaps none of the candidates sup-port abortion, but some refuse to back this amend-ment because, as a piece of legislation, it is question-able, or because they have concerns about govern-ment becoming the discern-er of what is moral and immoral. To the Editor: On the issue of Autono-my: Several individuals have raised the issue of auto-nomy and its compatibil-ity with Christianity. The argument stands that as we are under the Lordship of Christ we are no longer autonomous beings. I shall argue that if we are not autonomous creatures, we are also not responsible for our actions or our sin and that the purpose of our faith becomes aid. Autonomy can be de- In justifying specific de-cisions, thinking people should not rely on facts without some context. FIGURES: Numbers in support of positions pro-vide the guise of scientific objectivity, yet they • are interpreted to the public in ways which may mis-lead. For example, a candidate may claim as substantia-tion of concern for minor-ity rights, a 50 per cent increase in minority rep-resentation during his term in office. However, 50 per cent as a figure is mean-ingless without informa-tion on absolute number and population composi-tion. To demonstrate, consi-fined by stating that we, as human persons, pos-sess a faculty for rational thought and that within the bounds of physical, environmental and social constructs, we make deci-sions for our lives. While others may influence us, for good or worse, the fi-nal decision ultimately rests upon us alone. Even beneath religious presup-positions and dogma-shoulds and oughts—we still make personal deci-sions and such decisions cannot be shifted to any other individual. der the following fictitious values. Increasing from four to six minority employ-ees in government is a 50 per cent increase, but these absolute numbers hardly justify a sweeping gener-alization of minority rights support. Even if the in-crease were from 400 to 600, the 600 may only com-prise 10 per cent of govern-mental employees in a coun-try composed of 75 per cent minority peoples. Again, hardly substantia-tion for a position support-ing minority rights. Thinking people should not use figures to justify specific decisions without evaluating what the fig-ures mean. see page 3 Dear Editor, I am deeply concerned about an item in last week's Clarion which stated that an elevator would not be included in the new science wing. I realize that the cost would be sizeable (eight per cent of building cost), but I believe that Bethel has an obligation to volun-tarily comply with the equal education act by pro-viding equal access. One elevator located on one end of such a large complex greatly inhibits equal access for all stu-dents— not just those with physical handicaps, but al- Assuming a Christian position does not alter these basic premises. Whereas we adopt a different "lifes-tyle," we are yet responsi-ble for our own lives and therefore, we remain au-tonomous beings. It is on being a free agent that we have the extension of re-sponsiblity, i.e. without freedom of autonomy, re-sponsibility cannot exist. Or perhaps, more to the theological point: without autonomy, there is no re-sponsibility for sin, and without the responsibility for sin, what purpose re-demption and salvation, or the need thereof? And then what purpose Christ? so those with temporary ;njuries. Is - eight per cent too much to deny the full participation of the Stu Sonesons, Julie Reden-bughs, Karl Kassulkes, Greg Barrows', Chris Weintzes and countless others who were kept away because of such conditions? True, "Bethel is people," but must we amend that to say, "Bethel is people ...with full use of their limbs?" I believe that God will provide whatever is needed to build that eleva-tor. Or is Bethel too big, too old, too secular to step out in faith? Joe Donaldson P.O. 1792 Christ did indeed set U S free from the "law," but not from our freedom of choice and resulting con-sequences. I am responsible to my sister and brother, but I am not responsible for their actions. II is within this context that "shotilds and oughts" come into being. This is an entirely differ-ent issue which shall not be broached at this time. The point must be made that prior to claiming re-sponsibility to another, we must claim responsibility for ourselves. In saying this, Shalom, Lu Silverberg Facts out-of-context become distorted Christians cannot shirk autonomy Page 3 by Laura Phillips Bethel is definitely try-ing to gel a fieldhouse into the works, according to Brian Kluth, capital cam-paigns director hired three months ago. - The fieldhouse project has been labeled "The Next Step Campaign (for need-ed fieldhouse and athletic fields for the future)." Kluth head_ s the project. Tentative fieldhouse plans include: a six-lane 200-meter, inside track; nine multiple-use courts; a classroom; weight, train-ing and locker rooms; a physical lab; office space; and spectator seating for 1,000. With plans still in the early stages, the fieldhouse project has not been pub-licized simply because, "We don't have all the answers yet," said Kluth. "We will let people know as we know—as the answers come• in. The project is being pur-sued now because a group of friends and alumni, in-terested in the fieldhouse, has expressed a willing-ness to financially commit themselves to its support. "There is an interest in the fieldhouse, so we will try to build from that base," said Kluth. Funds for the project will be sought in this order from these sources: 1) a small nucleus of alumni and friends, 2) affinity groups (alumni, parents, friends) reached through a national campaign, 3) the annual budget and 4) mon-ies from foundations and businesses. According to Kluth, peo-ple working on the project will know the answers to if, when and where the fieldhouse will be built in about six months. At that time they will know more specifically the feasibility and direction of the pro-ject for a fieldhouse and. athletic fields. The fieldhouse project was initiated in 1978 when the South Campus Devel-opment Committee, com-prised of students and fac-ulty, conducted a study on the specifics needs of the athletic department. The committee considered the needs involved in physi-cal education classes, in-tramural and varsity sports and recreational ac-tivities. The committee agreed there was a lack of athletic facilities. It proposed a new field-house and athletic fields. A site development firm was called to determine the best way (s) to develop the south campus area. The firm proposed three alter-nate development plans. by Shari Goddard Bethel is working to im-prove the private phone system instituted at the school last year. North-western Bell is adding three additional phone lines to the 21 that now lead from phones inside the school to outside phones. At this time, all calls to the outside must go through a main switching area, and the number of calls at any given time is limited to the number of outside lines. The three new lines will add 180 minutes of calling time per hour. Bruce Kunkel, director of administrative services, said he thinks the new "trunk" lines will be enough to handle the flow of calls. "We anticipate that it's going to be enough. As in all things like this, you work on probability," he said. If all lines are busy when a person calls for an out-side line, that person will have the call "blocked", and he will hear a busy signal. According to Kun-kel, "You want to get to the point where a few blocks happen every day; that means you're getting full use of the lines." When asked if she Bruce Kunkel, director of ad-ministrative services (photo by Tom Twining). thought three lines would be enough to handle the amount of blocked calls each day, Karen Larson, a switchboard operator, said, "No, we are often booked up solid for ten minutes at a time...that happens a lot at night because kids are making long distance calls." The system will pay for itself in ten years. In the meantime, it costs less an-nually than the Northwes-tern system, and the sav-ings will rise proportionate-ly each year. The only add-ed expense for this system, outside of the yearly pay-ments, is for trunk lines leading into and out of the school. Those lines must be leased from Northwes-tern Bell. Each line costs approx-imately 550 per month. Pre-sently, Northwestern Bell is studying the lines that lead from outside the school to the inside phones to determine if an addition to those 21 lines will be nec-essary. In order to save money, Bethel closes some of the trunk lines during the summer months. Larson added that ano-ther problem with the new system is that students cannot call out to the oper-ator. If someone calls a wrong long-distance num- , by Ginny Olson October 2 and 3 the RA's, AD's and housing admini-strators gained new in-sights into ways they could become more effective in their work. They attended the Association for Chris-tians in Student Develop-ment (ASCD) conference on "How to Help a Friend." The conference was for ber, that person must con-tact the operator through Bethel's switchboard. Each call to the operator costs the student 40 cents. She adds that the biggest problem is students who do not know how to use their phones. They do not dial nine before they call an outside number, so they get the switchboard or an office. In spite of all of the problems, Larson prefers the new system. "It's a big-improvement over what we had," she said. Other of-fice workers share her opin-ion. "I like it a lot more than the old system, be-cause you can do more than before," said Rosalie Dvirnak, alumni secretary. The new system allows for special services. If ano-ther inside phone is busy, dialing a certain code will enable the call to go through when the line opens. The phone rings both the caller and the called. Confer-ence calls between offices are also possible, as are other services. letters from page 2 • IDEOLOGY: One partici-pant in Friday's political foruin presented iconoclas-tic arguments: he focused on societal values rather than specific political is-sues. My impression was that many in the audience did not seriously consider his comments. My impres-sion was that many attend-ed the forum simply to place a plus or minus sign adjacent to candidates' stands on specific issues without ever questioning the ideology based behind those stands. Specific issues change and change rapidly. Think-ing people must confront ideological questions - if they are to be valuable participants in this coun-try's future. the North Central Region, held at Northwestern Col-lege in Roseville. The main speaker was Dr. Paul Wel-ter Oct. 2 chapel speaker. Out of 185 people attend-ing the conference, 80 were Bethel resident staff peo-ple. Welter dealt with the "Tough-Tender Connection," "How to Help Someone who is Hurting," and "Gen-tle Confrontation." He spoke on issues common to a resident staff using a variety of visual helps. A plaid cap and sunglasses helped portray the "cool-guy" image that in some people covers up the scared little boy or girl within all. He also discussed differ-ent ways people learn. Some learn in an auditory fashion; if they are to be told something or encour-aged, it should be spoken so they can hear the mes-sage. Others may be vis-ual learners, and the best way to communicate with them is by notes or letters. Touch-movement is yet another way to get a mes-sage across, maybe by a hug or pat on the back. Welter pointed out that a staff member should seek out the way a person learns best and then follow that style. He went into the subject of confrontation and the importance of gentleness. Confrontation is an espe-cially important task with What role should the United States have in the world community? Should our national interests be the ultimate standard against which decisions are made? How should our standard of living compare with those of other indus-trial, developing, and fourth world countries? Should our consumption of world natural resources the resident staff person because his role entails this kind of responsibility. From Welter's own experience, he shared the necessity of not only confronting, but investing time in that per-son and planning a follow-up appointment to check that person's progress. After Welter spoke, the RA's had a chance to share ideas about social activi-ties, discipline alternatives and different pressures found on campus. According to Marshall Flowers, regional director of the North Central Re-gion of ACSD, the goal of this year's conference was "to give staffs from dif-ferent Christian colleges a chance to touch base with one another and share ideas as well as difficul-ties. It provides an oppor-tunity for the staffs to get some professional training. Each year we have a time to get some professional training. Each year we have a theme that deals with students' needs. This year's theme is "Caring and Con-frontation." Those at the conference came from Bethel, Concor-dia, Dordt, Golden Valley Lutheran, Grace College of the Bible, Lutheran Bre-theran schools, Minnesota Bible College, North Cen-tral Bible College, North-western Bible College, Oak Hills Bible Institute, St. Paul Bible College, Trinity (North Dakota) and Cana-dian Bible Institute. be brought in line with consumption in other coun-tries?

The synopsis covers frequently dealt with issues, as seen through the eyes of each candidate. Further information is available in the Clarion office, or the individual campaign headquarters may be contacted: Carter/Mondale Headquar-ters 730 E. 38th Minneapolis, MN 55407 Phone: 827-2891 John Anderson for Presi-dent 3307 Hennepin Minneapolis, MN 55401 Phone: 827-6202 Reagan/Bush Headquar-ters 555 Wabasha, Room 1E St. Paul, MN 55102 Phone: 298-0097 Jimmy Carter ABORTION: Believes per-sonally that abortion is wrong, but is against a constitutional amendment which would overturn the supreme court decision permitting abortions. ERA: Strongly supports ERA, determined to "do everything within my pow-er" to ratify the amend-ment. Has used the White House to further the cause of ERA. SCHOOL PRAYER: Op-poses an amendment on school prayer, cites sepa-ration of church and state; feels it would discriminate against atheists. HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS: Supports legislation which would remove homosexu-ality from a list of "sexual aberrations" for which aliens can be denied im-migration. According to a White House staff mem-ber, gays "have in the White House a president who is -meeting with you and respects you." DRAFT: Has called for draft registration in re-sponse to the Soviet inva-sion of Afghanistan. Sup-ports drafting of women. Carter believes in the vol-untary army and sees need to upgrade pay-scale and benefits. DEFENSE: Opposed B-1 bomber, deferred produc-tion of neutron bomb, de-layed production of cruise missile. Trident submarine, SSN-668 attack submarine, and Trident missile sys-tem. Has now asked for authorization of "rapid de-ployment force," and a five . per cent increase in de-fense spending. SALT II: Supports the SALT process; feels it is "in our nation's interest," but that because of Soviet presence in .Afghanistan is "inappropriate at this time." ECONOMIC POLICY: Plans to continue his poli-cies of wage and price guide-lines, regulatory reform and restraints on govern-ment spending. He does not favor wage and price controls. Carter is now ser-iously considering a tax cut for 1981. MIDDLE EAST: Brought about the historic signing of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in March 1979 following the Camp David Summit. Does not support West Bank settle-ments or Palestinian au-tonomy. ENERGY POLICY: "We will never be completely strong at home or secure abroad until we have solved our nation's exces-sive dependence on foreign oil." Proposes stand-by gas rationing plan, converting electric power plants from oil to coal, development of alternative forms of ener-gy and synthetic fuel. Says we must cut our imports of foreign oil in half by, 1990. John Anderson ABORTION: An opponent of the recently passed Hyde Amendment which gives congress authority to re-fuse to federally fund abor-tions. "As a matter of con-science, I am, saddened by the high incidence of un-wanted pregnancies." The choice is a matter to be decided by a woman in conjunction with her God and her physician. Poor women should have government assistance to finance abortions. ERA: Strong supporter. "The ERA is needed to enshrine in the Constitu-tion the moral value judg-ment that sex discrimina-tion is wrong." Voted against states' rights to rescind, for the extension of the ratification deadline. SCHOOL PRAYER: An-derson voted against school prayer in 1971, and according to his staff, would vote against a school prayer amendment again. HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS: Anderson is co-sponsor of H.R. 2074, a bill to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include homosex-uals. DRAFT: Opposes rein-stitution of peaceful draft registration or compulsory service. "I am unalterably opposed to the draft dur-ing peacetime in the ab-sence of compelling circum-stances. Such circum-stances do not exist." An-derson believes currently maintained all-volunteer forces are inadequate. DEFENSE: "Every four years (during presidential elections) there is height-ened fear about the Soviets as an excuse to take our minds off domestic prob-lems." Opposes deploy-ment of MX missiles. Op-poses defense hikes beyond 3 per cent though not op-posed to increased de-fense spending to meet real needs. SALT II: Strong suppor-ter: Believes SALT process should be continued to in-clude an even more res-training treaty. ECONOMIC POLICY: Sup-ports holding down govern-ment spending, boosting productivity, encouraging personal savings, lessen-ing the burdens of regula-tion and taxation on busi-ness, increasing research and development, and pro-viding meaningful job train-ing and continuing educa-tion programs. "Productiv-ity is a vital national issue and should be brought to the forefront of the domes-tic policy. Otherwise we shall have to accept the resulting economic stagna-tion." MIDDLE EAST: Supports an intermediary role for the U.S. without becom-ing an advocate for either Israel or Egypt. ENERGY POLICY: Believes that a solution to energy crisis is to increase price of gasoline by 50 cents per gallon. Revenue raised would be redistributed –through tax system to the poor and other groups. Fa-vors deregulation of crude oil prices and windfall pro-fits tax on crude oil reven-ues. Ronald Reagan ABORTION: Opposes abortion-on-demand. Be-lieves that "interrupting a pregnancy is the taking of a human life and can only be justified in self-defense; that is, if the mother's own life is in danger." Suggests a constitutional amend-ment banning abortion. He also opposes using federal tax money to pay for abor-tions in cases where the mother's life is not in dan-ger. ERA: Opposes ERA: "I do not believe that the ERA is the answer (for support-ing equal rights for wom-en.) The amendment would 'not itself redress inequali-ties in rights, and, by in-creasing the courts 'legis-lative' power, could do more harm than good." SCHOOL PRAYER: - Pro-poses an amendment to permit voluntary school prayer. "We are a nation under God." Says people are interpreting freedom of religion to mean free-dom from religion. HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS: Does not advocate "gay lifestyles." Does not feel that any unique lifestyle should be given favored attention. "An employer should not be subject to special laws (such as 'gay ordinances' passed in some cities) which, in effect, would compel him to hire a person because of that person's sexual preference. DRAFT: "Thousands of years of human history have demonstrated that the most effective deterrent to armed conflict is military strength, not weakness." Supports development of B-1 bomber, neutron war-head, and MX missile. SALT II: Sees it as fatally flawed...more of a strategic arms build-up than an arms limitation...should be shelved and the negotia-tions should go back to the table. ECONOMIC POLICY: Tax cuts a priority. Plans to cut taxes by 30 per cent over the next three years. Hopes to provide substan-tially less government in-terference in people's lives. Plans to cut governmental costs, consolidating some departments and dis-mantling others, such as the Department of Energy and the Department of Ed-ucation. MIDDLE EAST: Strong sup-porter of Israel. "The cru-cial element determining the success or failure of American policy is the fate of Israel. Israel is Ameri-ca's natural ally." ENERGY POLICY: Plans to dismantle the Depart-ment of Energy and its allocation of rules. By D.O.E.'s own admission, "regulation has compound-ed any problem arising from imperfect market structures. Allocation for-mulas were mainly respon-sible for last summer's gas-oline lines." Favors dereg-ulation and a plow-back provision in the windfall profits tax. Also plans ac-celerated use of nuclear energy. Main text courtesy of Crossroads Magazine, -40 Kemble St., Lenox, Mass., 01240. Several additions reprinted f Tom candida tes' issue papers.

The exhibit is part of a two-year tour of major American museums and came to St. Paul from the Page 5 by Kraig Klaudt Why is it so difficult for each of us to be the kind of follower of Christ that we want to be? The question is not a new one. The apostle Paul expressed the same frustration when he wrote, "I do not understand my own actions, for I do not what I want, but I do the very thing I hate (Rom 7:15)." In Galatians, he enlightens us on why that is the case: "the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would (Gal. 5:17)." From this, it would appear that for one to have the freedom to act the way he longs to act and, eventually, to be the kind of person he would like to be, depends a great deal on the degree he is able to defeat the desires of the flesh. Later in the same chapter, Paul sheds light on how we might -be able to defeat those desires, "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Gal. 5:24)." The key is the word "crucified." Not only do we crucify the desires of our fallen nature when we decide to follow Christ, but we are to continue to crucify those desires when they threaten to keep us from disciple-ship. We want so much as Christians. We complain when we are depressed and spiritually dead, and we frequent-ly petition God for more love or peace or joy in our lives. Yet, are we ready to fight for it, make sacrifices for it and not give up until we have it? Are we prepared to crucify each temptation to depart from our ideals? Somehow, we fail to see what that one lust, that one lie or that one lost chance to share is doing to our hopes of having more peace or joy or love in our lives. In our war against evil, we must resist opportunity to become complacent. Our orders are not to lose, but to overcome evil. Still, many of the troups are more in favor of signing an armistice with the enemy. There can be no compromise but only unconditional victory. If you, want to wiry, crucify the enemy. And the only way you can do that is if you are ready to fight. Meister Eckhart once observed, "There are plenty to Zuckerman from page 4 seven of these), and tra-veling to the West Coast with the orchestra for a tour in February with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. This will not be the first time members of the orches-tra have worked with Zu-kerman. The Israeli-born virtuoso has conducted the orchestra on two pre-vious occasions. In his programming, Zu-kerman will maintain the orchestra's repuation of wide-ranging repertoire and versatility. For his opening concerts, Oct. 3 and 4, Zukerman selected an all-Mozart program which included Adagio and Fuge in C minor, K. 546; Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219 and follow our Lord half-way, but not the only half. They will give up possessions, friends and !minors, but it touches them too closely to disown themselves." Only when one is willing to disown himself in favor of com-plete and holy obedience to God can one really begin to experience God's best. As we near the victory and as we move on to yet other goals, the fight becomes easier. Not that we are free to lay down our sword, but we find that the weight of the sword is surprisingly less. We are awe-struck that the spoils of our victories have surpassed even the greatest of our expectations. Even in the midst of the fighting our heart is perpetually bowed in the peace of worship. The God who so greatly desires our happiness is now so real, His will so clear. His inner light burns bright in the inner springs of our soul; wells of living water rise up continuously to refresh us. Some would tell us that the quest of reaching our spiritual potential through complete and unconditional obedience is an unrealistic hope. But the success of Noah, St. Francis, Martin Luther and many others should give us unfailing confidence that we can reach our goals if we want them enough to fight evil for them. Until we understand the awesomeness of the chal-lenge and commit ourselves to it, our Christian walk will be just that—a walk—not a run in which we are leaping once imposing hurdles. Begin where you are. Use what little obedience you are capable of. Do not dwell on the defeat but long for the victory. Obey ... now.

Down-to-earth writing style in '21 Clarion From the first issue of the Clarion, October, 1921 Writing styles. Back in the days of the old Bethel Academy, jour-nalistic styles were radi-cally different from today's crisp writing. A few ex-cerpts from this premiere issue of the Clarion reveal the down-to-earth, editorial style of the day: "We have some very good talent in the (junior) class this year and the seniors will have to go a long way to out-distance us in be-havior, intelligence, and general knowledge." And from the column about the seniors: "The seniors for this year are certainly full of pep and spirit. What the senior class lacks this year is quantity, not quality. It is advisable, for other class-es to look to the seniors for manners and knowledge." A short column about the class social reported that "the program was short but snappy. It was of such a nature that it could only be appreciated by those who attended in person so no at tempt at description will here be made." And finally, from a story with the headline, A Hike to 'Happy Hollow': "Oh, what a glorious day was the fifth of October, 1921. There was not a cloud in the sky to interfere with the warm penetrating rays of the sun. The warm breezes and beautiful sun-shine surely made us think it was `Indian Summer". Clarion "humor." The idea of advertising was still a relatively new concept in 1921. From the column, Things to Laugh About: "If advertisers keep on boasting in their adver-tisements, as they are do-ing now, the following will soon be true: 'I had a very good hair brush since back in the 80's some time, but the other day one bristle came out and I put some very good hair tonic on and three bristles came out where the one had been." Bethel play. A typically "Swedish" play written by an acade-my student appeared in its anglicized Swedish form. An excerpt of the play reads, "My first day at Betel Akedamy." Dere Mama: I wish you were hare to sjiss me good-night but since you cannot be I am vrintink dis led-der. Hay had veri exciting da. And mama, vat yet tink'do moosik Prof. say about my voice'! He say I hey an aixsillent muno-tone! I not kno vat it mean, mama, but I no it must be sometink vunderful for he luke so sarius yen he said it. Dere are many preddy girls hare, mama. And evey time dey speak to me it mak me so red. Vy iss it so, mama? Bud dey don kno nodding. Vat you tank, dey don kno dere is no such tink as a left handed mon-key vrench." Mr. Harry Blamires, an English writer who studied under C.S. Lewis, will speak in chapel on Wed-nesday 15. Blamires is sponsored through the Christian College Consor-tium. Originally from York-shire, England, Blamires attended University Col-lege in Oxford in 1935. He studied English with C.S. Lewis a literature tutor. The International Stu-dent Association (ISA) was allowed $100 for a banquet sponsored by ISA to familiarize the student body with the organiza-tion. The entire Bethel com-munity will be invited to this banquet. Blamires taught in schools and colleges, spend-ing most of his teaching career at King Alfred's Col-lege in Winchester, where he became head of the Eng-lish department in 1948. He retired in early 1976 to pursue work as an author. He has had 17 books published, including an al-legorical trilogy written in the mid-1970' s, and has written a number of theo-logical books. Servant Books of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has pub-lished Blamire's new book, "Where Do We Stand," an examination of the Chris-tian's position in the mod-ern world. Testing from page 1 The test is also an indi-cator of how well a stu-dent will do on the Gradu-ate Record Examination (GRE) which can be a fac-tor in the student's deci-sion to go to graduate school. The test also benefits the school. It offers data to outside agencies. For in-stance, last year the test was used for the North Central Association of Col-lege and Schools during the re-accreditation pro-cess. It also helps evaluate the effectiveness of its de-partments over-all and in sub-areas. This in t urn can benefit the students, be-cause if the scores indi-cate that the department Is lacking in a certain area, it may change its progress. Changes in programs can also be evaluated by the test. A department may have changed or added a course, and the senior test' is one judge as to how the change affects a depart-me n-t 's over-al 1 p rug in in. Based on these benefits, a student may choose to study for the test. The of-fice of evaluation and test-ing carries booklets that introduce each test and give sample items. Also available in large college bookstores are guides that help students study and prepare for the test. McNeel said that a little studying probably will not help. To make a difference, a student would have to study a good deal more. by Annette Loeks Student Senate will sponsor a garage sale Fri-day, Oct. 10 from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the Student Ac-tivities Center.

Ellie Abbott came in twenty-eighth, for the Roy-al's best effort of the day, on the three-mile, 280-yard course. Lana Lauwers, Bren-da Harris, Linda Hallblade and Chris LeVesseur held the next four Bethel slots.

Though they did not win Saturday, the team did gain valuable experience on St. Olaf course, where they will compete in the state meet Oct. 25. money given through work, loans or grants, cannot exceed his need. If the student exceeds that need by earning too much, other federal monies in the package would be reduced. "Bethel is audited regular-ly by government agen-cies. If this regulation is not followed, we stand in the position of losing all our aid," Correll said. What about students who receive work but still find it difficult to meet their financial needs? "If special needs arises, the financial aid office will take a look at the circum-stances and might re-eval-uate them," said Correll. The work-study pro-gram helps students meet their educational costs. "Often students don't ap-ply for aid, but there are so many varying factors that it never hurts to apply," said Correll. Money for school available to most by Jerry Manus Last Saturday was a dis-appointing day for the wom-en's cross country team at St. Olaf. "It was a tough meet," said Coach Leighton Betz. Bethel's ten member team ranked eighteen out of twen-from page 1 free gift aid, but is in some way contributing to his own edtication," Correll said. Of the 2020 students at-tending Bethel, 70 per cent apply for financial aid. The majority of those ap-plying receive aid in some form. "This means that the money that we have, has to be distributed then among all those students who qualify for aid," said Correll. How do students get work-study jobs? They are part of their aid pack-age, and used in conjunc-tion with other federal aid in the packages. Eligible students will be given a combination of grants, scholarships and some form of self help which could be work-study earn-ings, a loan or a combina-tion of both. The key is the amount of need a student shows. The total amount of from page 1 The average academic program will last six months, with some of the longest lasting up to two years. Lewis had no idea what the completion rate would be, but he made a "wild guess of 80 per cent completion rate." He said it would be difficult to tell until the center begins operation. Student enroll-ment at the center has a capacity of 250 with two dorms, but if the old Hag-strom dorm is used, the center's capacity will reach 350-400 students. The faculty and staff num-bers 100. Although the corps is federally funded, the par-ty to administer the pro-gram will be chosen "in a competitive bidding pro-cess," said Lewis. He said" the program's annual cost will be a $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Bethel originally sold the campus under a pack-age deal, for a $1.6 million cash exchange, with addi-tional services, such as free rent for using the dorms. The additional ser-vices were valued at $300,000. Though the school was originally founded in 1871, the seminary and the old Bethel Academy were not joined together on the old campus site until 1914, when the seminary build-ing was erected. The col-lege building was built in 1916, Bodien in 1942, Ed-gren in 1946, Hagstrom in 1947, the library in 1948 and the fieldhouse in 1952. Additions to Edgren and Bodien dormitories were built in 1957. In 1965 the seminary moved to its present site on new cam-pus, and in 1972 the col-lege relocated. For years after the col-lege relocated, a sign was posted on the lawn of the campus bordering Snel-ling Avenue. Its mesage was simple: "College cam-pus for sale." It was not until Feb. 7, 1978 that Bethel officially transferred the title to the federal government, but construction on the pro-posed job corps site did not start until two years later because of legal complications. The Como-Falcon Corn-munity Coalition, a local citizen's group, has fought the corps from the time it was connected with the old campus site. They feared it would bring in undesirable youth to the quiet neighborhood, in-creasing crime and lower-ing property 'values. What will the average student be like? Lewis said the students' age will range from 16- 21, with the average a little over 18 at entry. Some students will be high school graduates, but the average student will have dropped out, having only "a little more than ten years of school-ing, but will read at the sixth grade level, and be able to do math at the fifth grade level," said Lewis. He also said that even many of the graduates will not be able to read or write very well. "Our goal is to help these youth become eco-nomically self-sufficient. We're trying to help them get a job through acade-mic and vocational educa-tion," Lewis said. The case was heard in two lower courts, both of which rejected the coali-tion's arguments. Then the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case, upholding the ruling of the appellate court. While the legal battles were fought, Bethel was able to lease the dorms for free. Now that the corps has claimed its victory, Bethel must say good-bye to old campus.- But there is one glimmer of hope for those true-blue, die-hard old campus mas-ochists. Brent Lewis did seriously suggest a unique living situation which en-visioned Bethel students living in the still unused Hagstrom dorm, while the corps students lived in the two surrounding dorms.

Bethel won two of the three match-es. Of their first match against St. Olaf, Coach Cin-dy Book commented, "We had a slow start; we were close but we just couldn't finish up." Bethel lost after three games; 6-15, 15-11, and 11-15. The Bethel spikers de-feated Carleton in three games; 7-15, 15-8 and 15- 11. They also devastated Royals stomp Saint Thomas, tie Lutheran by T. J. Johnson "This is the best game we've played all year. The guys went out wanting to win," said soccer Coach Mark Leigh after the game Saturday. • For the first time in five or six years the soccer team defeated St. Thomas, 2-0, shutting them out for the first time ever. Mark "Green shoes" John-son scored the first goal with one-and-a-half min-utes to go in the first half. The second goal was scored by Allan "Penn" Johnson halfway through the sec-ond half, Johnson's first goal of the season. Bo Cedersjo came up with his fourth shut-out of the season. He had help from the tough Bethel de-fense, which has only let in one goal in the last four games, one of the best goals-against averages in the con-ference. Neil Kaiser, Joel Kraa-kevik and Mark Koerner played exceptionally well on offense and defense, as did Doug Barkey on de-fense. This win moved Bethel from fifth place to third place in the over-all con-ference standings. The Wednesd4 non-con-ference game against Beth-any Lutheran ended in a 1-1 tie, a very frustrating game for Bethel. The next conference game is Saturday against St. John's College at Bre-mer Field, at 11:00 a.m. St. Benedicts in two, 15-6 and 15-4. "Jo Ann Griffin stood out for her hitting and Gra-cia Dahlgren stood out for her serving, but, again, we do have a lot of depth. Everybody contributed and it is always a total team effort. I play the entire bench and I depend on them all," said Book. Earlier in the week Be-thel played Macalester and Book said, "Macalester is probably the number one team in the state. They are undefeated and a highly skilled team." Bethel was defeated by Macalester Wednesday last week in three of five SPORTS EVENTS Men's Cross Country: Oct. 18 Northwestern, Augs-burg, and Dr. Martin Luther, at Como Park, 11:00 a.m. Women's Cross Coun-try: Oct. 18 Bethel Invitational, home, 11:00 a.m. Football: Oct. 18 Macalester, home, 1:30 P.m.

It is pro-bably the best volleyball we have played. It showed what we are capable of doing. Now we just need to play that way consist- . ently," said Coach Book. Last Friday Bethel defeat-ed Golden Valley Luthe-ran College in two out of three games: 9-15, 15-11 and 15-7. They also beat Lakewood Community Col-lege 15-7 and 15-7. The women's volleyball team will have this week-end off before gearing up for their homecoming-match next Saturday with St. Thomas. by Phil -Almeroth The Royals gridders were hurt by big plays again as they fell to first-place Concordia-Moorhead, 49-3. The Cobbers rolled up 508 yards in total of-fense, including goals; and touchdown runs of 20, 14, 5 and 2 yards. Bethel's only points came up a fourth-quarter, 39-yard field goal by Paul Lindberg. For the second straight week, a decidedly superi-or team outplayed the Roy-als. "We got in an early rut with bad field position and we couldn't get out of it," said Head Coach Dud Lut-ton. "We haven't able to handle their outside game, and that hurt us." When asked what he thought was lacking on Bethel's side, Lut ton re-plied, "Basically experience and ,savvy are the two things that we, as a team, are missing.... This type of game shows where Bethel football is at right now. We have a ways to go, but right now the scoreboard is: incidental to us. "What we are most con-cerned with is the improve-ment and growth of every individual on the team. At this stage, it's always easy to place the blame on some-one, but we have the type of people who will grow and will improve, so we are not doing that. The effort is there, we have to improve on the things we do now rather than change things." by Randy Pate Saturday's cross country meet found host squad Be-thel placing second behind Hamline. St. Paul Bible College took third, and Augsburg, who only en-tered one runner, took fourth. "Hamline is a strong contender for a top place in the conference," com-mented Coach Gene Glader. Even with Saturday's out-come, Glader said that he was pleased with many of the squad members' per-formances. The final scores—Ham-line 17, Bethel, 52, and St. Paul Bible College, 71— show Hamline's dominance over the field. Despite this there were many bright spots for Bethel. Senior Brent Friesen continued to set the pace for the Bethel squad, as his time of 27:11 entitled him to an over-all finish of fourth and a team finish of first. Friesen has consistently placed first among Bethel runners in every meet. Another hope for the fu-ture is freshman Tim Sny-der. His time of 28:26 was his best ever and gave him tenth over-all, and his first second-place finish on the team. Tomorrow the team will be participating in the Carleton Invitational at Carleton College. Royal defenseman Doug Barkey jumps high for ball (photo by Dan Velie).

Vol. 56, No. 4 Bethel College St. Paul, MN Oct. 10, 1980 Required senior tests evaluate curriculum Work-study program provides $ for school by Debbie Anderson Sooner or later, almost everyone who goes to col-lege will have to think about graduation. To grad-uate from Bethel, a stu-dent must, among other requirements, take a senior test (see p. 4 of the Bethel College Registration Cata-log). "Senior testing is a test-ing program that is re-quired of all concentrators in areas where there are senior tests," said Steve McNeel, professor of p4- chology and director of evaluation and testing. The tests were developed by the Educational Test-ing Service. - For January graduates, the test is given in Novem-ber. Spring graduates take their test in late March or early April. The test con-sists of questions that ap-ply only to their particular concentration. Double ma-jors may take both tests, although this is primarily a decision of the indivicIL ual departments. The test consists mostly of multi-ple choice questions, al-though there is some vari-ability, according to Mc- Neel. The tests are divided into sub-areas within the subject. For instance, some of the sub-areas for the test in pscyhology are so-cial pscyhology and per-sonality, experimental psychology and develop-mental pscyhology. The tests, said McNeel, are given for a number of reasons. The benefit to the student is that it serves as a comparative evaluation of the student's knowledge in that particular field of study. Students can see how they compare to other graduating seniors and they can also get a feel for how well they have mas-tered their concentration. see page 6 by Jay Stuart Russell An era of Bethel history is gone forever. No more jogging over to Como Park, no more fair-ground parking on the campus, no more of those "clanking" heaters, and no more bus rides to old campus. This time, old campus is gone for good. For years, Bethel has solved its housing prob-lems on new campus by housing students on old campus. And, for years, old campus residents com-plained of the aging facili-used in 1914, Bethel will have nothing to do with old campus. The job corps center is almost ready to move in. Job Corps is a federally funded program designed to prepare unemployed 16- to 21-year-old youths for jobs. According to Brent Lewis, a manpower plan-ner with the city of St. Paul, "Remodeling of the facilities should be com-pleted in December or early January of 1981." Construction began in March, 1980. Lewis said he expects the program operators and staff to begin working when the facility is ready to be occupied, but the students will not move in until sometime in April. To prepare the facilities for the new program, ren-ovation plans include con-struction of new walls were needed, installation of a sprinkler system to meet fire codes and instal-lation of elevators in all of the buildings except for the fieldhouse, making the buildings accessible to the handicapped. , The cafeteria will be remodeled and occupying the same location in Bo-dien as it did when Bethel was on old campus. Win-dows in some buildings by Sharon Waller They are all over the' Bethel campus. They may be dishing ice cream in the coffeeshop, pushing a va-cuum cleaner in the music lounge, or sitting behind the desk in one of the offi-ces. Regardless of what they are doing, they are a part of the work-study program. "Bethel employs be-tween 500 and 600 stu-dents. Out of this num-ber, about 60 per cent are in work-study," commented Joan Correll, student em-ployment and loan coordi-nator. Many students still do will be replaced and air conditioning 'installed. Lewis said they do not plan to build any new buildings, but tennis courts may be built if the present courts are not repaired. Total renovation costs are estimated at $1.5 million. All the buildings will be used when the center opens, except for the old Hagstrom dormitory, and the original administra-tion building. "We have no plans to use Hagstrom now, but will probably use it in the future," said Lewis. The administration building will be preserved so it does not deteriorate. Lewis said the field-house will be used as is, but the main building on the southwest corner of the campus will house most of the academic pro-gram. The library will be a vocational educational building for welding, ma-chine shop and clerical training. "We're still planning to use the old dorms as dor-mitories, but some of-the educational programs, such as cooking and nurs-ing, will be located in Bo-dien." Women will be housed in Bodien, and men housed in Edgren. see page 7 not know what this pro-gram is about, including those who are involved in . it. Correll also noted, "Of-ten students who should apply for financial aid, fail to do so." Many students could be eligible for work-study, yet they forfeit it because they fail to apply for financial aid, she said. What is work-study, how does it fit in with financial aid, and when is one eligible for the pro-gram? On-campus jobs are a-vailable to all students who want to work to pay for their education. Two types of campus employ-ment are provided: the government subsidized work-study program and the Bethel work program. Work-Study does not mean pay for studying. It is a federal and/or Minne-sota state aid program de-signed to provide jobs for students who have app-lied for financial aid and have shown a demonstrat-ed financial need, as ex-plained in the "Student Employment Handbook." The federal government pays 80 per cent of such students' earnings, and Bethel pays the other 20 per cent. "This makes them desirable to hire. So, it is to their advantage to have it as part of their financial aid package," said Correll. "Financial aid packages are a combination of gift aid and self help. Gift aid comes in the form of grants; this is free money," Correll explained. Minne-sota state grants, basic grants, Bethel grants, par-ticipation grants, and min-isterial grants are the most common forms of gift aid. Self help includes Na-tional Direct Student Loans, Guaranteed Stu-dent Loans, and campus employment. This is where the work-study jobs come into the financial aid package. "They try to bal-ance them so that the stu-dent is not receiving all see page 7 ties, long bus rides, incon-venience and isolation from new campus. With the job corps ren-ovation nearing comple-tion, the end 'to the old campus blues is finally becoming a reality. Although Bethel's old campus on Snelling and Nebraska Avenues was sold well over two years ago to the federal govern-ment, the campus con-tinued to house students the past few years, under a special agreement with the government. But this year, for the first time since the facility was first OC metamorphosis finished almost editorial Compassion needed ...so is an elevator Only 48 steps separate Doc's corner on the first floor, AC building, from third floor classroom6. It takes little effort to climb the conveniently placed stairwell—only 48 steps. If one is unable to climb those steps, however, one must travel more than the length of two football fields, using the school's only elevator, to make that same trip. Because Bethel has only one elevator, it receives heavy use. Janitors, library workers, postal workers, and many others use the elevator for heavy loads. Other people use it when they are tired, and still others use it because they cannot climb the stairs. A recent Clarion article told about the new science addition. The building will not contain an elevator, because it would increase the construction cost by eight per cent. We think that the situation deserves more careful and compassionate consideration. The academic building presently houses over half of all classrooms. The new additions will place an even larger majority of classrooms, and all of the labs, at the opposite end of the buildings from the elevator. To travel from the cafeteria or coffee shop to the second floor of the AC or science building, will require a walk through six sets of heavy double doors and two trips outside. Sub-zero temperatures will dramatically worsen the situation. The addition of an elevator would make this route unnecessary. Instead, handicapped students could fin-ally reach that area of the school as freely as most of us. Janitors would also have the advantage of two eleva-tors, eliminating the frequent long waits while mainte-nance jobs are completed Once workers complete the new building, it will be next to impossible to add an elevator, costs at a later date would rise above the eight per cent projected for an elevator presently. We suggest that those responsible for this building project place the importance of people above dollar figures. We are often assured that Bethel is more than buildings and bricks, yet the absence of concern over a new elevator lends little proof for this claim.

Manipulation is always present, but it becomes par-ticularly pervasive during political campaigns. A general approach is to provide data out of con-text and/or of dubious na-ture to people who prefer to passively "sop-up" ra-ther than actively "reflect-upon." Unfortunately, Bethel people are no less suscepti-ble to such manipulation. For example, consider some responses to cam-paign facts, figures, and ideology encountered in Be-thel's halls: FACT: It is a fact that Reagan supports the pro-life amendment and his two opponents do not. For many this informa-tion is sufficient to label Carter and Anderson "baby killers" and Reagan the Christian choice for pres-ident. Few reflect on why the candidates take their respective stands. Perhaps none of the candidates sup-port abortion, but some refuse to back this amend-ment because, as a piece of legislation, it is question-able, or because they have concerns about govern-ment becoming the discern-er of what is moral and immoral. To the Editor: On the issue of Autono-my: Several individuals have raised the issue of auto-nomy and its compatibil-ity with Christianity. The argument stands that as we are under the Lordship of Christ we are no longer autonomous beings. I shall argue that if we are not autonomous creatures, we are also not responsible for our actions or our sin and that the purpose of our faith becomes aid. Autonomy can be de- In justifying specific de-cisions, thinking people should not rely on facts without some context. FIGURES: Numbers in support of positions pro-vide the guise of scientific objectivity, yet they • are interpreted to the public in ways which may mis-lead. For example, a candidate may claim as substantia-tion of concern for minor-ity rights, a 50 per cent increase in minority rep-resentation during his term in office. However, 50 per cent as a figure is mean-ingless without informa-tion on absolute number and population composi-tion. To demonstrate, consi-fined by stating that we, as human persons, pos-sess a faculty for rational thought and that within the bounds of physical, environmental and social constructs, we make deci-sions for our lives. While others may influence us, for good or worse, the fi-nal decision ultimately rests upon us alone. Even beneath religious presup-positions and dogma-shoulds and oughts—we still make personal deci-sions and such decisions cannot be shifted to any other individual. der the following fictitious values. Increasing from four to six minority employ-ees in government is a 50 per cent increase, but these absolute numbers hardly justify a sweeping gener-alization of minority rights support. Even if the in-crease were from 400 to 600, the 600 may only com-prise 10 per cent of govern-mental employees in a coun-try composed of 75 per cent minority peoples. Again, hardly substantia-tion for a position support-ing minority rights. Thinking people should not use figures to justify specific decisions without evaluating what the fig-ures mean. see page 3 Dear Editor, I am deeply concerned about an item in last week's Clarion which stated that an elevator would not be included in the new science wing. I realize that the cost would be sizeable (eight per cent of building cost), but I believe that Bethel has an obligation to volun-tarily comply with the equal education act by pro-viding equal access. One elevator located on one end of such a large complex greatly inhibits equal access for all stu-dents— not just those with physical handicaps, but al- Assuming a Christian position does not alter these basic premises. Whereas we adopt a different "lifes-tyle," we are yet responsi-ble for our own lives and therefore, we remain au-tonomous beings. It is on being a free agent that we have the extension of re-sponsiblity, i.e. without freedom of autonomy, re-sponsibility cannot exist. Or perhaps, more to the theological point: without autonomy, there is no re-sponsibility for sin, and without the responsibility for sin, what purpose re-demption and salvation, or the need thereof? And then what purpose Christ? so those with temporary ;njuries. Is - eight per cent too much to deny the full participation of the Stu Sonesons, Julie Reden-bughs, Karl Kassulkes, Greg Barrows', Chris Weintzes and countless others who were kept away because of such conditions? True, "Bethel is people," but must we amend that to say, "Bethel is people ...with full use of their limbs?" I believe that God will provide whatever is needed to build that eleva-tor. Or is Bethel too big, too old, too secular to step out in faith? Joe Donaldson P.O. 1792 Christ did indeed set U S free from the "law," but not from our freedom of choice and resulting con-sequences. I am responsible to my sister and brother, but I am not responsible for their actions. II is within this context that "shotilds and oughts" come into being. This is an entirely differ-ent issue which shall not be broached at this time. The point must be made that prior to claiming re-sponsibility to another, we must claim responsibility for ourselves. In saying this, Shalom, Lu Silverberg Facts out-of-context become distorted Christians cannot shirk autonomy Page 3 by Laura Phillips Bethel is definitely try-ing to gel a fieldhouse into the works, according to Brian Kluth, capital cam-paigns director hired three months ago. - The fieldhouse project has been labeled "The Next Step Campaign (for need-ed fieldhouse and athletic fields for the future)." Kluth head_ s the project. Tentative fieldhouse plans include: a six-lane 200-meter, inside track; nine multiple-use courts; a classroom; weight, train-ing and locker rooms; a physical lab; office space; and spectator seating for 1,000. With plans still in the early stages, the fieldhouse project has not been pub-licized simply because, "We don't have all the answers yet," said Kluth. "We will let people know as we know—as the answers come• in. The project is being pur-sued now because a group of friends and alumni, in-terested in the fieldhouse, has expressed a willing-ness to financially commit themselves to its support. "There is an interest in the fieldhouse, so we will try to build from that base," said Kluth. Funds for the project will be sought in this order from these sources: 1) a small nucleus of alumni and friends, 2) affinity groups (alumni, parents, friends) reached through a national campaign, 3) the annual budget and 4) mon-ies from foundations and businesses. According to Kluth, peo-ple working on the project will know the answers to if, when and where the fieldhouse will be built in about six months. At that time they will know more specifically the feasibility and direction of the pro-ject for a fieldhouse and. athletic fields. The fieldhouse project was initiated in 1978 when the South Campus Devel-opment Committee, com-prised of students and fac-ulty, conducted a study on the specifics needs of the athletic department. The committee considered the needs involved in physi-cal education classes, in-tramural and varsity sports and recreational ac-tivities. The committee agreed there was a lack of athletic facilities. It proposed a new field-house and athletic fields. A site development firm was called to determine the best way (s) to develop the south campus area. The firm proposed three alter-nate development plans. by Shari Goddard Bethel is working to im-prove the private phone system instituted at the school last year. North-western Bell is adding three additional phone lines to the 21 that now lead from phones inside the school to outside phones. At this time, all calls to the outside must go through a main switching area, and the number of calls at any given time is limited to the number of outside lines. The three new lines will add 180 minutes of calling time per hour. Bruce Kunkel, director of administrative services, said he thinks the new "trunk" lines will be enough to handle the flow of calls. "We anticipate that it's going to be enough. As in all things like this, you work on probability," he said. If all lines are busy when a person calls for an out-side line, that person will have the call "blocked", and he will hear a busy signal. According to Kun-kel, "You want to get to the point where a few blocks happen every day; that means you're getting full use of the lines." When asked if she Bruce Kunkel, director of ad-ministrative services (photo by Tom Twining). thought three lines would be enough to handle the amount of blocked calls each day, Karen Larson, a switchboard operator, said, "No, we are often booked up solid for ten minutes at a time...that happens a lot at night because kids are making long distance calls." The system will pay for itself in ten years. In the meantime, it costs less an-nually than the Northwes-tern system, and the sav-ings will rise proportionate-ly each year. The only add-ed expense for this system, outside of the yearly pay-ments, is for trunk lines leading into and out of the school. Those lines must be leased from Northwes-tern Bell. Each line costs approx-imately 550 per month. Pre-sently, Northwestern Bell is studying the lines that lead from outside the school to the inside phones to determine if an addition to those 21 lines will be nec-essary. In order to save money, Bethel closes some of the trunk lines during the summer months. Larson added that ano-ther problem with the new system is that students cannot call out to the oper-ator. If someone calls a wrong long-distance num- , by Ginny Olson October 2 and 3 the RA's, AD's and housing admini-strators gained new in-sights into ways they could become more effective in their work. They attended the Association for Chris-tians in Student Develop-ment (ASCD) conference on "How to Help a Friend." The conference was for ber, that person must con-tact the operator through Bethel's switchboard. Each call to the operator costs the student 40 cents. She adds that the biggest problem is students who do not know how to use their phones. They do not dial nine before they call an outside number, so they get the switchboard or an office. In spite of all of the problems, Larson prefers the new system. "It's a big-improvement over what we had," she said. Other of-fice workers share her opin-ion. "I like it a lot more than the old system, be-cause you can do more than before," said Rosalie Dvirnak, alumni secretary. The new system allows for special services. If ano-ther inside phone is busy, dialing a certain code will enable the call to go through when the line opens. The phone rings both the caller and the called. Confer-ence calls between offices are also possible, as are other services. letters from page 2 • IDEOLOGY: One partici-pant in Friday's political foruin presented iconoclas-tic arguments: he focused on societal values rather than specific political is-sues. My impression was that many in the audience did not seriously consider his comments. My impres-sion was that many attend-ed the forum simply to place a plus or minus sign adjacent to candidates' stands on specific issues without ever questioning the ideology based behind those stands. Specific issues change and change rapidly. Think-ing people must confront ideological questions - if they are to be valuable participants in this coun-try's future. the North Central Region, held at Northwestern Col-lege in Roseville. The main speaker was Dr. Paul Wel-ter Oct. 2 chapel speaker. Out of 185 people attend-ing the conference, 80 were Bethel resident staff peo-ple. Welter dealt with the "Tough-Tender Connection," "How to Help Someone who is Hurting," and "Gen-tle Confrontation." He spoke on issues common to a resident staff using a variety of visual helps. A plaid cap and sunglasses helped portray the "cool-guy" image that in some people covers up the scared little boy or girl within all. He also discussed differ-ent ways people learn. Some learn in an auditory fashion; if they are to be told something or encour-aged, it should be spoken so they can hear the mes-sage. Others may be vis-ual learners, and the best way to communicate with them is by notes or letters. Touch-movement is yet another way to get a mes-sage across, maybe by a hug or pat on the back. Welter pointed out that a staff member should seek out the way a person learns best and then follow that style. He went into the subject of confrontation and the importance of gentleness. Confrontation is an espe-cially important task with What role should the United States have in the world community? Should our national interests be the ultimate standard against which decisions are made? How should our standard of living compare with those of other indus-trial, developing, and fourth world countries? Should our consumption of world natural resources the resident staff person because his role entails this kind of responsibility. From Welter's own experience, he shared the necessity of not only confronting, but investing time in that per-son and planning a follow-up appointment to check that person's progress. After Welter spoke, the RA's had a chance to share ideas about social activi-ties, discipline alternatives and different pressures found on campus. According to Marshall Flowers, regional director of the North Central Re-gion of ACSD, the goal of this year's conference was "to give staffs from dif-ferent Christian colleges a chance to touch base with one another and share ideas as well as difficul-ties. It provides an oppor-tunity for the staffs to get some professional training. Each year we have a time to get some professional training. Each year we have a theme that deals with students' needs. This year's theme is "Caring and Con-frontation." Those at the conference came from Bethel, Concor-dia, Dordt, Golden Valley Lutheran, Grace College of the Bible, Lutheran Bre-theran schools, Minnesota Bible College, North Cen-tral Bible College, North-western Bible College, Oak Hills Bible Institute, St. Paul Bible College, Trinity (North Dakota) and Cana-dian Bible Institute. be brought in line with consumption in other coun-tries? And so on. Such questions should be faced by all, but partic-ularly by those who fol-low Jesus Christ. Peaceful and equitable co-existence appears to hinge on the answers we provide.

The synopsis covers frequently dealt with issues, as seen through the eyes of each candidate. Further information is available in the Clarion office, or the individual campaign headquarters may be contacted: Carter/Mondale Headquar-ters 730 E. 38th Minneapolis, MN 55407 Phone: 827-2891 John Anderson for Presi-dent 3307 Hennepin Minneapolis, MN 55401 Phone: 827-6202 Reagan/Bush Headquar-ters 555 Wabasha, Room 1E St. Paul, MN 55102 Phone: 298-0097 Jimmy Carter ABORTION: Believes per-sonally that abortion is wrong, but is against a constitutional amendment which would overturn the supreme court decision permitting abortions. ERA: Strongly supports ERA, determined to "do everything within my pow-er" to ratify the amend-ment. Has used the White House to further the cause of ERA. SCHOOL PRAYER: Op-poses an amendment on school prayer, cites sepa-ration of church and state; feels it would discriminate against atheists. HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS: Supports legislation which would remove homosexu-ality from a list of "sexual aberrations" for which aliens can be denied im-migration. According to a White House staff mem-ber, gays "have in the White House a president who is -meeting with you and respects you." DRAFT: Has called for draft registration in re-sponse to the Soviet inva-sion of Afghanistan. Sup-ports drafting of women. Carter believes in the vol-untary army and sees need to upgrade pay-scale and benefits. DEFENSE: Opposed B-1 bomber, deferred produc-tion of neutron bomb, de-layed production of cruise missile. Trident submarine, SSN-668 attack submarine, and Trident missile sys-tem. Has now asked for authorization of "rapid de-ployment force," and a five . per cent increase in de-fense spending. SALT II: Supports the SALT process; feels it is "in our nation's interest," but that because of Soviet presence in .Afghanistan is "inappropriate at this time." ECONOMIC POLICY: Plans to continue his poli-cies of wage and price guide-lines, regulatory reform and restraints on govern-ment spending. He does not favor wage and price controls. Carter is now ser-iously considering a tax cut for 1981. MIDDLE EAST: Brought about the historic signing of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel in March 1979 following the Camp David Summit. Does not support West Bank settle-ments or Palestinian au-tonomy. ENERGY POLICY: "We will never be completely strong at home or secure abroad until we have solved our nation's exces-sive dependence on foreign oil." Proposes stand-by gas rationing plan, converting electric power plants from oil to coal, development of alternative forms of ener-gy and synthetic fuel. Says we must cut our imports of foreign oil in half by, 1990. John Anderson ABORTION: An opponent of the recently passed Hyde Amendment which gives congress authority to re-fuse to federally fund abor-tions. "As a matter of con-science, I am, saddened by the high incidence of un-wanted pregnancies." The choice is a matter to be decided by a woman in conjunction with her God and her physician. Poor women should have government assistance to finance abortions. ERA: Strong supporter. "The ERA is needed to enshrine in the Constitu-tion the moral value judg-ment that sex discrimina-tion is wrong." Voted against states' rights to rescind, for the extension of the ratification deadline. SCHOOL PRAYER: An-derson voted against school prayer in 1971, and according to his staff, would vote against a school prayer amendment again. HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS: Anderson is co-sponsor of H.R. 2074, a bill to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include homosex-uals. DRAFT: Opposes rein-stitution of peaceful draft registration or compulsory service. "I am unalterably opposed to the draft dur-ing peacetime in the ab-sence of compelling circum-stances. Such circum-stances do not exist." An-derson believes currently maintained all-volunteer forces are inadequate. DEFENSE: "Every four years (during presidential elections) there is height-ened fear about the Soviets as an excuse to take our minds off domestic prob-lems." Opposes deploy-ment of MX missiles. Op-poses defense hikes beyond 3 per cent though not op-posed to increased de-fense spending to meet real needs. SALT II: Strong suppor-ter: Believes SALT process should be continued to in-clude an even more res-training treaty. ECONOMIC POLICY: Sup-ports holding down govern-ment spending, boosting productivity, encouraging personal savings, lessen-ing the burdens of regula-tion and taxation on busi-ness, increasing research and development, and pro-viding meaningful job train-ing and continuing educa-tion programs. "Productiv-ity is a vital national issue and should be brought to the forefront of the domes-tic policy. Otherwise we shall have to accept the resulting economic stagna-tion." MIDDLE EAST: Supports an intermediary role for the U.S. without becom-ing an advocate for either Israel or Egypt. ENERGY POLICY: Believes that a solution to energy crisis is to increase price of gasoline by 50 cents per gallon. Revenue raised would be redistributed –through tax system to the poor and other groups. Fa-vors deregulation of crude oil prices and windfall pro-fits tax on crude oil reven-ues. Ronald Reagan ABORTION: Opposes abortion-on-demand. Be-lieves that "interrupting a pregnancy is the taking of a human life and can only be justified in self-defense; that is, if the mother's own life is in danger." Suggests a constitutional amend-ment banning abortion. He also opposes using federal tax money to pay for abor-tions in cases where the mother's life is not in dan-ger. ERA: Opposes ERA: "I do not believe that the ERA is the answer (for support-ing equal rights for wom-en.) The amendment would 'not itself redress inequali-ties in rights, and, by in-creasing the courts 'legis-lative' power, could do more harm than good." SCHOOL PRAYER: - Pro-poses an amendment to permit voluntary school prayer. "We are a nation under God." Says people are interpreting freedom of religion to mean free-dom from religion. HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS: Does not advocate "gay lifestyles." Does not feel that any unique lifestyle should be given favored attention. "An employer should not be subject to special laws (such as 'gay ordinances' passed in some cities) which, in effect, would compel him to hire a person because of that person's sexual preference. DRAFT: "Thousands of years of human history have demonstrated that the most effective deterrent to armed conflict is military strength, not weakness." Supports development of B-1 bomber, neutron war-head, and MX missile. SALT II: Sees it as fatally flawed...more of a strategic arms build-up than an arms limitation...should be shelved and the negotia-tions should go back to the table. ECONOMIC POLICY: Tax cuts a priority. Plans to cut taxes by 30 per cent over the next three years. Hopes to provide substan-tially less government in-terference in people's lives. Plans to cut governmental costs, consolidating some departments and dis-mantling others, such as the Department of Energy and the Department of Ed-ucation. MIDDLE EAST: Strong sup-porter of Israel. "The cru-cial element determining the success or failure of American policy is the fate of Israel. Israel is Ameri-ca's natural ally." ENERGY POLICY: Plans to dismantle the Depart-ment of Energy and its allocation of rules. By D.O.E.'s own admission, "regulation has compound-ed any problem arising from imperfect market structures. Allocation for-mulas were mainly respon-sible for last summer's gas-oline lines." Favors dereg-ulation and a plow-back provision in the windfall profits tax.

Zukerman opens music season in great style As the internationally acclaimed conductor and violinist Pinchas Zuker-man steps up to the po-dium to conduct the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (SPCO) in its opening concerts of 1980- 81, it marks the union of two of the world's leading musi-cal talents. Since the appointment of Zukerman as new music director in May 1979, he and the orchestra have been constantly preparing for this moment—pro-grams were set, auditions held to fill the five addi-tional openings, recording possibilities were dis-cussed, tours organized and white tie and tails acquired. In what has been des-cribed as "one of the most important events of his musical career," Zuker-man's responsibilities in the coming year will in-clude conducting the or-chestra in six capital con-certs and four baroque concerts (performing in see page 5 aSroAurM PAIGN 1980 741MINVW Christians find 'crucified' key to active discipleship 4."

The exhibit traces the history of the Muppets from creator Jim Henson's first television show, "Sam and Friends," in 1954. Henson coined the word "Muppet" to describe his characters as a cross between puppet and marionette. Some of his original Muppets, in-cluding the prototype of Kermit the Frog, are dis-played in the exhibit. The exhibit is part of a two-year tour of major American museums and came to St. Paul from the Page 5 by Kraig Klaudt Why is it so difficult for each of us to be the kind of follower of Christ that we want to be? The question is not a new one. The apostle Paul expressed the same frustration when he wrote, "I do not understand my own actions, for I do not what I want, but I do the very thing I hate (Rom 7:15)." In Galatians, he enlightens us on why that is the case: "the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you would (Gal. 5:17)." From this, it would appear that for one to have the freedom to act the way he longs to act and, eventually, to be the kind of person he would like to be, depends a great deal on the degree he is able to defeat the desires of the flesh. Later in the same chapter, Paul sheds light on how we might -be able to defeat those desires, "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Gal. 5:24)." The key is the word "crucified." Not only do we crucify the desires of our fallen nature when we decide to follow Christ, but we are to continue to crucify those desires when they threaten to keep us from disciple-ship. We want so much as Christians. We complain when we are depressed and spiritually dead, and we frequent-ly petition God for more love or peace or joy in our lives. Yet, are we ready to fight for it, make sacrifices for it and not give up until we have it? Are we prepared to crucify each temptation to depart from our ideals? Somehow, we fail to see what that one lust, that one lie or that one lost chance to share is doing to our hopes of having more peace or joy or love in our lives. In our war against evil, we must resist opportunity to become complacent. Our orders are not to lose, but to overcome evil. Still, many of the troups are more in favor of signing an armistice with the enemy. There can be no compromise but only unconditional victory. If you, want to wiry, crucify the enemy. And the only way you can do that is if you are ready to fight. Meister Eckhart once observed, "There are plenty to Zuckerman from page 4 seven of these), and tra-veling to the West Coast with the orchestra for a tour in February with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. This will not be the first time members of the orches-tra have worked with Zu-kerman. The Israeli-born virtuoso has conducted the orchestra on two pre-vious occasions. In his programming, Zu-kerman will maintain the orchestra's repuation of wide-ranging repertoire and versatility. For his opening concerts, Oct. 3 and 4, Zukerman selected an all-Mozart program which included Adagio and Fuge in C minor, K. 546; Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219 and follow our Lord half-way, but not the only half. They will give up possessions, friends and !minors, but it touches them too closely to disown themselves." Only when one is willing to disown himself in favor of com-plete and holy obedience to God can one really begin to experience God's best. As we near the victory and as we move on to yet other goals, the fight becomes easier. Not that we are free to lay down our sword, but we find that the weight of the sword is surprisingly less. We are awe-struck that the spoils of our victories have surpassed even the greatest of our expectations. Even in the midst of the fighting our heart is perpetually bowed in the peace of worship. The God who so greatly desires our happiness is now so real, His will so clear. His inner light burns bright in the inner springs of our soul; wells of living water rise up continuously to refresh us. Some would tell us that the quest of reaching our spiritual potential through complete and unconditional obedience is an unrealistic hope. But the success of Noah, St. Francis, Martin Luther and many others should give us unfailing confidence that we can reach our goals if we want them enough to fight evil for them. Until we understand the awesomeness of the chal-lenge and commit ourselves to it, our Christian walk will be just that—a walk—not a run in which we are leaping once imposing hurdles. Begin where you are. Use what little obedience you are capable of. Do not dwell on the defeat but long for the victory. Obey ... now.

Down-to-earth writing style in '21 Clarion From the first issue of the Clarion, October, 1921 Writing styles. Back in the days of the old Bethel Academy, jour-nalistic styles were radi-cally different from today's crisp writing. A few ex-cerpts from this premiere issue of the Clarion reveal the down-to-earth, editorial style of the day: "We have some very good talent in the (junior) class this year and the seniors will have to go a long way to out-distance us in be-havior, intelligence, and general knowledge." And from the column about the seniors: "The seniors for this year are certainly full of pep and spirit. What the senior class lacks this year is quantity, not quality. It is advisable, for other class-es to look to the seniors for manners and knowledge." A short column about the class social reported that "the program was short but snappy. It was of such a nature that it could only be appreciated by those who attended in person so no at tempt at description will here be made." And finally, from a story with the headline, A Hike to 'Happy Hollow': "Oh, what a glorious day was the fifth of October, 1921. There was not a cloud in the sky to interfere with the warm penetrating rays of the sun. The warm breezes and beautiful sun-shine surely made us think it was `Indian Summer". Clarion "humor." The idea of advertising was still a relatively new concept in 1921. From the column, Things to Laugh About: "If advertisers keep on boasting in their adver-tisements, as they are do-ing now, the following will soon be true: 'I had a very good hair brush since back in the 80's some time, but the other day one bristle came out and I put some very good hair tonic on and three bristles came out where the one had been." Bethel play. A typically "Swedish" play written by an acade-my student appeared in its anglicized Swedish form. An excerpt of the play reads, "My first day at Betel Akedamy." Dere Mama: I wish you were hare to sjiss me good-night but since you cannot be I am vrintink dis led-der. Hay had veri exciting da. And mama, vat yet tink'do moosik Prof. say about my voice'!

And evey time dey speak to me it mak me so red. Vy iss it so, mama? Bud dey don kno nodding. Vat you tank, dey don kno dere is no such tink as a left handed mon-key vrench." Mr. Harry Blamires, an English writer who studied under C.S. Lewis, will speak in chapel on Wed-nesday 15. Blamires is sponsored through the Christian College Consor-tium. Originally from York-shire, England, Blamires attended University Col-lege in Oxford in 1935. He studied English with C.S. Lewis a literature tutor. The International Stu-dent Association (ISA) was allowed $100 for a banquet sponsored by ISA to familiarize the student body with the organiza-tion. The entire Bethel com-munity will be invited to this banquet. Blamires taught in schools and colleges, spend-ing most of his teaching career at King Alfred's Col-lege in Winchester, where he became head of the Eng-lish department in 1948. He retired in early 1976 to pursue work as an author. He has had 17 books published, including an al-legorical trilogy written in the mid-1970' s, and has written a number of theo-logical books. Servant Books of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has pub-lished Blamire's new book, "Where Do We Stand," an examination of the Chris-tian's position in the mod-ern world. Testing from page 1 The test is also an indi-cator of how well a stu-dent will do on the Gradu-ate Record Examination (GRE) which can be a fac-tor in the student's deci-sion to go to graduate school. The test also benefits the school. It offers data to outside agencies. For in-stance, last year the test was used for the North Central Association of Col-lege and Schools during the re-accreditation pro-cess. It also helps evaluate the effectiveness of its de-partments over-all and in sub-areas. This in t urn can benefit the students, be-cause if the scores indi-cate that the department Is lacking in a certain area, it may change its progress. Changes in programs can also be evaluated by the test. A department may have changed or added a course, and the senior test' is one judge as to how the change affects a depart-me n-t 's over-al 1 p rug in in. Based on these benefits, a student may choose to study for the test. The of-fice of evaluation and test-ing carries booklets that introduce each test and give sample items. Also available in large college bookstores are guides that help students study and prepare for the test. McNeel said that a little studying probably will not help. To make a difference, a student would have to study a good deal more. by Annette Loeks Student Senate will sponsor a garage sale Fri-day, Oct. 10 from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the Student Ac-tivities Center.

Lana Lauwers, Bren-da Harris, Linda Hallblade and Chris LeVesseur held the next four Bethel slots.

Though they did not win Saturday, the team did gain valuable experience on St. Olaf course, where they will compete in the state meet Oct. 25. money given through work, loans or grants, cannot exceed his need. If the student exceeds that need by earning too much, other federal monies in the package would be reduced. "Bethel is audited regular-ly by government agen-cies. If this regulation is not followed, we stand in the position of losing all our aid," Correll said. What about students who receive work but still find it difficult to meet their financial needs? "If special needs arises, the financial aid office will take a look at the circum-stances and might re-eval-uate them," said Correll. The work-study pro-gram helps students meet their educational costs. "Often students don't ap-ply for aid, but there are so many varying factors that it never hurts to apply," said Correll. Money for school available to most by Jerry Manus Last Saturday was a dis-appointing day for the wom-en's cross country team at St. Olaf. "It was a tough meet," said Coach Leighton Betz. Bethel's ten member team ranked eighteen out of twen-from page 1 free gift aid, but is in some way contributing to his own edtication," Correll said. Of the 2020 students at-tending Bethel, 70 per cent apply for financial aid. The majority of those ap-plying receive aid in some form. "This means that the money that we have, has to be distributed then among all those students who qualify for aid," said Correll. How do students get work-study jobs? They are part of their aid pack-age, and used in conjunc-tion with other federal aid in the packages. Eligible students will be given a combination of grants, scholarships and some form of self help which could be work-study earn-ings, a loan or a combina-tion of both. The key is the amount of need a student shows. The total amount of from page 1 The average academic program will last six months, with some of the longest lasting up to two years. Lewis had no idea what the completion rate would be, but he made a "wild guess of 80 per cent completion rate." He said it would be difficult to tell until the center begins operation. Student enroll-ment at the center has a capacity of 250 with two dorms, but if the old Hag-strom dorm is used, the center's capacity will reach 350-400 students. The faculty and staff num-bers 100. Although the corps is federally funded, the par-ty to administer the pro-gram will be chosen "in a competitive bidding pro-cess," said Lewis. He said" the program's annual cost will be a $2.5 million to $3.5 million. Bethel originally sold the campus under a pack-age deal, for a $1.6 million cash exchange, with addi-tional services, such as free rent for using the dorms. The additional ser-vices were valued at $300,000. Though the school was originally founded in 1871, the seminary and the old Bethel Academy were not joined together on the old campus site until 1914, when the seminary build-ing was erected. The col-lege building was built in 1916, Bodien in 1942, Ed-gren in 1946, Hagstrom in 1947, the library in 1948 and the fieldhouse in 1952. Additions to Edgren and Bodien dormitories were built in 1957. In 1965 the seminary moved to its present site on new cam-pus, and in 1972 the col-lege relocated. For years after the col-lege relocated, a sign was posted on the lawn of the campus bordering Snel-ling Avenue. Its mesage was simple: "College cam-pus for sale." It was not until Feb. 7, 1978 that Bethel officially transferred the title to the federal government, but construction on the pro-posed job corps site did not start until two years later because of legal complications. The Como-Falcon Corn-munity Coalition, a local citizen's group, has fought the corps from the time it was connected with the old campus site. They feared it would bring in undesirable youth to the quiet neighborhood, in-creasing crime and lower-ing property 'values. What will the average student be like? Lewis said the students' age will range from 16- 21, with the average a little over 18 at entry. Some students will be high school graduates, but the average student will have dropped out, having only "a little more than ten years of school-ing, but will read at the sixth grade level, and be able to do math at the fifth grade level," said Lewis. He also said that even many of the graduates will not be able to read or write very well. "Our goal is to help these youth become eco-nomically self-sufficient. We're trying to help them get a job through acade-mic and vocational educa-tion," Lewis said. The case was heard in two lower courts, both of which rejected the coali-tion's arguments. Then the U.S. Supreme Court heard the case, upholding the ruling of the appellate court. While the legal battles were fought, Bethel was able to lease the dorms for free. Now that the corps has claimed its victory, Bethel must say good-bye to old campus.- But there is one glimmer of hope for those true-blue, die-hard old campus mas-ochists. Brent Lewis did seriously suggest a unique living situation which en-visioned Bethel students living in the still unused Hagstrom dorm, while the corps students lived in the two surrounding dorms.

Bethel won two of the three match-es. Of their first match against St. Olaf, Coach Cin-dy Book commented, "We had a slow start; we were close but we just couldn't finish up." Bethel lost after three games; 6-15, 15-11, and 11-15. The Bethel spikers de-feated Carleton in three games; 7-15, 15-8 and 15- 11. They also devastated Royals stomp Saint Thomas, tie Lutheran by T. J. Johnson "This is the best game we've played all year. The guys went out wanting to win," said soccer Coach Mark Leigh after the game Saturday. • For the first time in five or six years the soccer team defeated St. Thomas, 2-0, shutting them out for the first time ever. Mark "Green shoes" John-son scored the first goal with one-and-a-half min-utes to go in the first half. The second goal was scored by Allan "Penn" Johnson halfway through the sec-ond half, Johnson's first goal of the season. Bo Cedersjo came up with his fourth shut-out of the season. He had help from the tough Bethel de-fense, which has only let in one goal in the last four games, one of the best goals-against averages in the con-ference. Neil Kaiser, Joel Kraa-kevik and Mark Koerner played exceptionally well on offense and defense, as did Doug Barkey on de-fense. This win moved Bethel from fifth place to third place in the over-all con-ference standings. The Wednesd4 non-con-ference game against Beth-any Lutheran ended in a 1-1 tie, a very frustrating game for Bethel. The next conference game is Saturday against St. John's College at Bre-mer Field, at 11:00 a.m. St. Benedicts in two, 15-6 and 15-4. "Jo Ann Griffin stood out for her hitting and Gra-cia Dahlgren stood out for her serving, but, again, we do have a lot of depth. Everybody contributed and it is always a total team effort. I play the entire bench and I depend on them all," said Book. Earlier in the week Be-thel played Macalester and Book said, "Macalester is probably the number one team in the state. They are undefeated and a highly skilled team."

Last Friday Bethel defeat-ed Golden Valley Luthe-ran College in two out of three games: 9-15, 15-11 and 15-7. They also beat Lakewood Community Col-lege 15-7 and 15-7. The women's volleyball team will have this week-end off before gearing up for their homecoming-match next Saturday with St. Thomas. by Phil -Almeroth The Royals gridders were hurt by big plays again as they fell to first-place Concordia-Moorhead, 49-3.

For the second straight week, a decidedly superi-or team outplayed the Roy-als. "We got in an early rut with bad field position and we couldn't get out of it," said Head Coach Dud Lut-ton. "We haven't able to handle their outside game, and that hurt us." When asked what he thought was lacking on Bethel's side, Lut ton re-plied, "Basically experience and ,savvy are the two things that we, as a team, are missing.... This type of game shows where Bethel football is at right now. We have a ways to go, but right now the scoreboard is: incidental to us. "What we are most con-cerned with is the improve-ment and growth of every individual on the team. At this stage, it's always easy to place the blame on some-one, but we have the type of people who will grow and will improve, so we are not doing that. The effort is there, we have to improve on the things we do now rather than change things." by Randy Pate Saturday's cross country meet found host squad Be-thel placing second behind Hamline. St. Paul Bible College took third, and Augsburg, who only en-tered one runner, took fourth. "Hamline is a strong contender for a top place in the conference," com-mented Coach Gene Glader. Even with Saturday's out-come, Glader said that he was pleased with many of the squad members' per-formances. The final scores—Ham-line 17, Bethel, 52, and St. Paul Bible College, 71— show Hamline's dominance over the field. Despite this there were many bright spots for Bethel. Senior Brent Friesen continued to set the pace for the Bethel squad, as his time of 27:11 entitled him to an over-all finish of fourth and a team finish of first. Friesen has consistently placed first among Bethel runners in every meet. Another hope for the fu-ture is freshman Tim Sny-der. His time of 28:26 was his best ever and gave him tenth over-all, and his first second-place finish on the team. Tomorrow the team will be participating in the Carleton Invitational at Carleton College. Royal defenseman Doug Barkey jumps high for ball (photo by Dan Velie). |
