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.

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.

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.

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

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

a special agreement with

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. '

Handicapped need
Bethel's support
Dear Editor:
It is rather distressing
to contemplate the ease
with which the immediate
thinking, even the alle-giance,
of people in our
society can be manipulated.
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.

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,

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.

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

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.

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.

• 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

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

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

Each year we have a time
to get some professional

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.

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.

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

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

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

mama, but I no it must be

it.

mak me so red. Vy iss it so,
mama? Bud dey don kno

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.

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

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.

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.
It was just an idea.

Volleyball shines at quad meet

Royals lack
experience,
need savvy
future bright for Snyder
by Becky Dye
Last Saturday the Bethel
women's volleyball team
competed in a quad meet
at St. Olaf with Carleton
and St. Benedicts. 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-

"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

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."

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.
