Raspberry awaits spring
by Leann M. Kicker
"Selecting recipients has
not always been easy...
this time we found it im-possible."
Those were the
words of George Robinson,
associate professor of art,
as he announced the post-ponement
of the annual
Raspberry Monday award.
Before the presentation,
Dale Johnson, associate pro-fessor
of art, said in pri-vate,
"No award will be
given. I know that will
upset some students. Ac-tually
this is a postpone-ment
until spring. We have
a standard; we don't feel it
was met. This was not an
easy decision to make, but
we feel it was the right
one." -
Robinson agreed that the
decision was hard to make
and announce. The gener-al
attitude of the art depart-ment
and the donors of the
award money, who prefer
to remain anonymous, was
one of disappointment.
One donor said, "We
were concerned for the stu-dents,
as far as the antici-pation
and the disappoint-ment.
Everyone was wait-ing,
and hoping."
The decision to donate
$250 as the Raspberry Mon-day
award resulted from
an incident that occurred
after picking Raspberries
on a Monday. Arrange=
ments were made for the
art faculty, who really
know the students, to set
up the criteria and make
the decision. The annual
Raspberry Monday group
exhibition has been held
in conjunction with the
award.
The recipient of the
award: 1. must be a good
artist, 2. must have lead-ership
potential and poten-tial
as a future artist, 3. Be
a real part of the art depart-ment
and reflect its spirit.
In the group exhibition
only the pieces submitted
by the students are judged.
The art faculty jury the
selection, choosing only the
very best pieces. "We go
through the process three
times," said Johnson.
The exhibition was ra-ther
small; 1 large sculp-ture,
a large graphic piece
mounted on the ceiling,
and several smaller pieces

In what was supposed
to be a rebuilding year,
Bethel's forensics pro-gram
continues to be a
strong contender in every
tournament.
January 23 and 24 the
team of Brice Russell and
Ron Nelson participated
at the University of Wis-consin
- La Crosse Cross-
Examination Debate As-sociation
(CEDA) Debate
Invitational. Russell and
Nelson posted a 5-1 re-cord
in preliminary round,
beating teams from the
University of Minnesota,
Edgewood College of Mad-ison,
Wisc., the Univer-sity
of Wisconsin-
LaCrosse, and South Da-kota
State.
Russell and Nelson
made the cut to semi-finals
where they dropped
to a team from Wheaton
College.
This is the first year of
debate for Russell and
Nelson. Coach Butch Malt-by
credits their early
success to hard work and
determination.
January 27 Russell and
Nelson attended a Twin
Cities Forensic League de-bate
tournament where
they took first place with
an undefeated (3-0) re-cord.
Of the four CEDA
debate tournaments held
by the Twin Cities Foren-sic
League this year, Be-thel
has taken first in all
of them.
January 30 and 31 Be-thel
participated in the
First Annual Wheaton Col-lege
CEDA Debate Invita-tional.

Under the direction of
Sue Fahrenkamp, general
manager, KABY is now
transmitting at Bethel Col-lege.
With its electrical cur-rent
system called "Car-rier
Current," it is possible
to pick up KABY by plug-ging
into an electrical out-let
in a building with a
transmitter. If a transmit-ter
is broken or damaged
reception is impaired.
At this point many of
the transmitters on cam-pus
are damaged. So, many
students on campus can-not
pick up the signals.
Fahrenkamp said, regard-ing
the problem with trans-mission,
"damage has been
the biggest obstacle to over-come,
but things are going
well. It depresses us that
all can't hear, 'cause we are
trying to reach the com-munity.
Poeple call and
participated in the com-petition.
Debate teams of Mark
Publow and Rick Kreutz-feldt
and Russell and Nel-son
represented Bethel at
Wheaton. After the con-clusion
of preliminary
rounds both teams posted
identical records of 4-2.
Publow and Kreutzfeldt
made it to semi-final
ask why. To us that is a
sign that people are inter-ested."
Bruce Vogel, program-ming
director, said, "Parts
are ordered to repair the
present damage."
So far the station has
been lucky. This fall, when
Fahrenkamp took over the
station, the entire control
board was damaged as
well as the transmitters.
To repair the switchboard
alone seemed potentially a
very expensive project.
But repair proved relative-ly
inexpensive. "A lot of
people have volunteered
hours of their time and
their knowledge to help
fix the damage." said Fah-renkamp.
The station paid
for the parts, but the labor
was almost all free.
Despite problems the sta-tion
is on its way and
"basically revamped," said
Vogel. All the music is
rounds, losing a close de-cision
to Valdosta State
College from Georgia. Rus-sell
and Nelson failed to
make the semi-final round
due to insufficient points.
Maltby said, "We had
the best four-person team
as evidenced by the indi-vidual
Tankings." Russell
and Kreutzfeldt tied for

being recatalogued and re-filed
more efficiently.
The station plays prim-arily
contemporary Chris-tian
music but may add
classical music. Plans for
the future include more
promotionals, tape-delayed
sports broadcasts and pos-sibly
radio drama on the
life of Christ, providing
there is enough interest
among students.
The news, written by
four or five writers, is
broadcast three times a
day. The broadcasts in-dude
international, na-tional,
local and campus
news.
Both Vogel and Fahren-kamp
stress that the sta-tion
is making it a point to
work with the campus coor-dinators
and "trying to
reach out to the whole com-munity."

Call for conformity
masks surface only
Those young men who would normally roam these
scholarly halls in blue jeans and plaid flannel Shirts
find themselves searching the dark recesses of their
closets for their least favorite attire—the suit, replete
with vest, cuffed sleeves and necktie.
The female counterparts to these men face a similar
dilemma: no corduroys and sweaters or lacy blouses
and clinging skirts. They too must don the attire
appropriate for the business world—or at least for an
interview.
One might think that the best way to present one's
self would be to be one's self—let the "real you" shine
forth. But, no, conformity is the name of the game. Out
there—in the real world—relaxed fashions just don't fit.
If you want to play the game you have to dress for it.
And so the suits, ties, straight-cut skirts and tailored
blouses make their debut on the college scene. The
pressure from without has crept into the laid-back
atmosphere of an up-to-date campus.
For underclassmen the scenario of interviews, job
hunts, resumes, skills assessment and a Vogue appear-ance
seems distant and far-removed. For the several
hundred graduating seniors that picture is all too uivid
and clear.
Conformity, the cause underlying the seniors' tension
and nervousness, confronts us all. Not one of us has
gone through life without being cornered into going
along with the crowd—even if that meant conforming
to a crowd of non-conformists. We are plagued with the
"need" to fit in. The world beckons us to be a part of the
gang.
It's frustrating. We frequently succumb to the pres-sure.
More often than that we get mad. We scream at
ourselves for giving in, realizing that there must be a
better way, but yet are unwilling to subject ourselves to
criticism, bitter laughter and ridicule.
Stop. Look at what should be our guide. Listen to
wise counsel: "And be not conformed to this world: but
be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you
may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and per-fect
will God." (Rom;. 12:12).
Sounds pretty good. It also sounds like a tough act to
live up to. But it's good—it's very good. And the business
world doesn't have a chance at knocking us down if we
live what is good.
Finely tailored attire may get us the job, but it's
something beneath that will help us keep it.

Dear Editor:
The hostages are home!
They are now returned
Americans or former hos-tages.
It was great to see a
nation so concerned about
the welfare of political pri-soners.
We remained in-formed,
made outward dis-plays
of our interest and
prayed for their release:
how wonderful!
Are we going to kid(
this away now that they
are home? Unfortunately
they were not the only po-litical
prisoners in the world
and they deserved no spe-cial
favor from God be-cause
of their nationality.

Hand-made Bethel bricks come from special mold
by Leann M. Kicker
Bethel is bricks. That
statement is almost a
cliche with Bethel perpet-ually
under construction.
Although Bethel is al-ways
expanding the exter-nal
appearance of the struc-ture
is uniform. That uni-formity
is because of the
Bethel brick.
Bethel brick is a colo-nial
style brick produced
by the Galena Shale Tile
and Brick Company near
Columbus, Ohio. Each
brick is made by hand
pressing soft clay into
wooden mold. The bricks
are then dried for 48 -72
hours at 250 degrees Fah-renheit,
then coal-fired at
1900 degrees Fahrenheit
for 9-10 days.
The hand-forming pro-duces
the irregular shapes
unique to Bethel bricks.
The coal firing provides
the variation in color, due
to temperature variation
within the kiln. Bricks near-est
the fire come out dark-est.
Bethel brick was chosen
in the 1960s by Hugh Pea-cock,
architect for Bethel
Seminary Arden Hills cam-pus.
He thought it would
enhance the natural beau-ty
of the campus and be a
continuous theme in fu-ture
construction.
The tradition continues
as brick-layers build the
walls for the new science
wing.

Burton commutes to new job
by Karen Cavaleri
Commuting students
have a new advocate on
Bethel Campus since the
end of January. A sopho-more
at the college, Bar-bara
(Barb) Burton said
she "slid right in" to her
new position as Commu-ter
Resident Assistant, a
job prevously held by
Brad Falk.
Traveling to classes
each day from her family
home in St. Paul, Burton
is personally aware of the
problems faced by stu-dents
commuting to a col-lege
where the emphasis
is on campus residence.
Her new job, under the
auspices of 'the Depart-ment
of Student Affairs,
allows her to help fellow
commuters get involved
at Bethel.
As commuter resident
assistant, Barb informs

Located in the far corner
of the student senate of-fice,
The Spire editors are
busy trying to meet dead-lines.
Because the year-book
will come out in Sep-tember,
deadlines are corn-ing
up this month.
According to Dona
Amann, assistant editor,
the color sections are now
due. "There will be sixteen
pages of four-color pic-tures,"
she said.
One familiar section in
approximately 328 corn-muting
students about
campus activities through
"On the Road," a semi-monthly
newsletter for
commuters. She will also
be establishing certain
hours at the campus coor-dinator's
office. There she
will be available to help
with questions or prob-blems
that commuters
might have, such as trans-portation.
Looking ahead,
she plans some breakfast
get-togethers, perhaps a
lunch; Bible studies are
another possibility.
Commuters who want
to contact Burton can
leave a message in PO
436.
Although she can keep
commuting students in-formed
about what is hap-pening
on campus, Burton
insisted, "They have the
primary responsiblity."
The Spire will be "Pas-sages."
Sandi Covert, edi-tor,
said she is trying to
find a literary director to
take over that section. She
has a few ideas on who
that person will be and
will make a decision in the
near future. Once the liter-ary
director is chosen, s/he
will decide the winner of
the "Passages" contest,
which took place this fall.
The reason The Spire
isn't coming out until this
September is so that it can
cover spring sports. "For
those students who aren't
here this fall, they will be
mailed copies," said Covert.
Amann added that they
may have to charge sen-iors
and transfers a dollar
to cover mailing expenses.
Hand in hand with dead-lines
come pressures, es-pecially
with a beginning
project like The Spire. "It's
hard, this being the first
year," sighed Covert. "We
don't know what to ex-pect.
We have to get pho-tographers
to be where
they're supposed to be and
try to get people together
for meetings."
"Everything is slow be-cause
everything is new,"
said Amann. "This year
we're trying to lay a foun-dation
so that The Spire
will keep on going. I'd like
to build a revolving staff
for the future, one that is
made up of people from
different years."
The process of getting a
staff for next year begins
in February.
Both commuters and those
in Bethel housing need to
make the effort to extend
themselves to other stu-dents,
she said. "Commu-ter
or not," she declared,
"it's imperative to reach
out and get involved!"
Interest in
heritage
reawakening
by Mary Swisher
Bethel has strong ties
with Sweden because it
was founded by Swedish
immigrants. The school
was originally intended
for teaching Swedish-speak-ing
immigrants. The inter-est
in the language and
heritage of the Scandina-vian
countries is on the
rise again at Bethel, be-cause
of student and alum-ni
interest.
Rune Engebreten, assis-tant
professor of German,
put together a Scandina-vian
studies program pro-posal.
Approval depends
on whether proper finan-cial
support can be found
from outside sources.
The study program, said
Engebretsen, will be inter-disciplinary.
This would
be accomplished by tak-ing
advantage of courses
already existing and link-ing
them with the pro-posed
Scandinavian study
courses.
The primary focus
would be language corn-petence,
but students
would be encouraged to
explore the intellectual, so-cial,
political and econo-mic
developments of Scan-dinavian
countries past
and present. Other com-ponents
offered in the pro-posed
program include a
Scandinavian semester
abroad and Scandinavian-focused
interim and sum-mer
workshops. These op-portunities
will be availa-ble
for students, faculty
and alumni.
According to the pro-posal,
the courses offered
will "seek to provide a
synoptic view" of Scandi-navian
life and culture with
reference to a liberal arts
education. Its purpose is
"to promote and improve
the learning of the lan-guage,
literature and cul-ture
of Scandinavian coun-tries."

I.S.A. banquet planned for Feb. 19
by Tim Wilbee
The International Stu-dent
Association stages its
annual banquet next week.
President Gabrielle Pratt
promises that it will be as
festive as ever. The dinner
will feature international
fares and a, short after-dinner
show, Thursday,
February 19th, in the din-ing
center's Royal Oak
Room. The banquet i.s a
school event, not exclusive-ly
for I.S.A. members. It
was originally planned for
March, but rescheduled
due to scheduled campus
coordinator events and the
availability of the kitchen.
Pratt, a junior from the
Bahamas, along with sen-ior
Lori Olson (Ecuador)
have been largely respon-
Bible for organizing the
event. Moving the date up
made it difficult to plan on
time. Pratt, who was in
Mexico over interim, com-mended
Olson and I.S.A.
Vice President Jane Al-bright
for their work.
"Last year all 200 tick-ets
were sold and everyone
really enjoyed themselves,"
said Pratt. "This year it
will also be a success be-cause
we are putting in
the time and effort neces-sary
to make it go." She
expressed the need to make
this year's banquet unique.
The after-dinner show will
he short and have a musi-cal
accent.
I.S.A. is designed to help
international students here
at Bethel, "They help peo-ple
adjust, help them feel
at home, help them make
friends," said Connie Lar-son,
a sophomore from Mex-ico.
It includes all students
from abroad, including chil-dren
of missionaries. Char-lie
Retts, faculty adviser,
helps students with the
practical end of their stay
here, with paperwork, talk-ing
to officials and getting
jobs.
Tickets for the banquet
went on sale this week by
the post office and cost
$3.75 for members of the
Bethel community (stu-dents,
faculty, and staff)
and $4.00 for everyone
else. Food cards are ac-cepted.
Bethel Food Ser-vice
Manager Wayne Erick-son
will cater the event.

Keep your hat: avoid arrows
Few people know the
true beginnings of what
we now call St. Valen-tine's
Day. Actually, Val-entine
was no saint, but
that's rushing ahead. The
story comes out of what is
now called Hungary, be-fore
written history. Re-cent
archeological excava-tions
have uncovered the
true, untold story of the
day's history.
Dadvinkin Schnider, a
local shepherd in a small
Hungarian town, had been
watching Valentina Tind-hovski
for weeks. Unable
to express his love ver-bally
(King David was the
exception when it came
to articulate shepherds),
Dadvinkin turned to his
friend, Cupivskolovski Jo-hanoval
(Cupid to his old
friends).
Cupid had a strange
sense of humor and
thought that shooting an
arrow, complete with
note, at the young maiden
would catch her attention.
Dadvinkin, not trusting
his own marksmanship
asked Cupid to shoot the
love-lettered arrow.
Happy to help a friend,
Cupid did just that. Un-fortunately,
the lass was
not impressed. She didn't
think shooting arrows at
her was an appropriate
sign of affection. In fact,
she was downright fur-ious
when the arrow
ruined her best hat.
Desperate to apologize,
Dadvinkin sent her flow-ers
(via Cupid) and beg-ged
her forgiveness in,
you guessed it, a note. She
ignored them. He sent her
candy with Wes carved
in it, he wrote her poems,
he did everything he could
think of. Cupid was a
great help in delivering
these things, but Valenti-na's
heart could not be
changed.
On February 14, Valen-tina
and Cupid were mar-ried
and Dadvinkin died
of a broken heart. (Some
historians insist it was
whooping cough, but most
romantics reject this
theory.)
Since that day, annual
celebrations pay tribute
to the faithful lover,
though Cupid's part has
changed over the years.
For those who would like
a new and unique way to
celebrate the occassion, a
special list has been
drawn up by the Remem-ber
Valentina's Day corn-mittee
at Bethel.
1. Make a six-foot Val-entine
and leave it next to
your friend's PO.
2.Give free coupons for
kisses to friends—keep
chocolate variety with
you at all times.
3. Stage a candlelit din-ner
in the Crystal Court at
the IDS tower.
4. Give a gift certificate
for one heart transplant
from the MAYO clinic.
(We suggest you date it
for the near future and
make sure your friend is
in good health or you may
find yourself in trouble.)
5. Buy your friend an
orchid plant. The flower
shop at St. Anthony Main
has one on sale for
$125.00.
6. Have a midnight pic-nic
on Lake Valentine.
7. Stomp a message in
the snow and take a photo
of it from the air—friends
in the aviation class may
be able to help you with
this.
8. Make up a mnemonic
poem from the word Val-entine.
9. Make up a limerick
as a personalized card.
Make the last line not
rhyme as an extra sur-prise.
10. Use your. imagina-tion,
but stay away from
shooting love-lettered ar-rows
at friends. No one
likes to ruin a good hat.

Monopoly tournament.
The Second Annual Be-thel
College Monopoly
Tournament took place
during interim, with 19
participants competing.
Student Bob Bergerud mo-nopolized
the tournament,
defeating defending cham-pion
Steve Larson.
The 19 players were split
into five groups, each of
which played a game in
the first round. The lop
two people in each game
then advanced to the next
round.
At one point during the
final game Larson seem-ed
to have his second
championship- wrapped
up, "but the money mani-pulation
and dice dexter-ity
exhibited by Bob Ber-gerud
overpowered the
mighty magnate Steve
Larson. ...The Monopoly
Tournament is now on its
way to being established
as a tradition at Bethel
College."
Tuition increase.
The college announced
a four per cent rise in the
cost of tuition, bringing
the cost of nine courses up
to $1,980, $72 above the
previous year's cost. The
four per cent increase was
lower than the annual in-flation
rate in 1973.
Students were required
to purchase a minimum of
$225 in food cards per
semester. Old campus re-sidents
were required to
_purchase $100 in food
cards.
Room and. board costs
were raised to $475 and
$525, respectively, from a
cost of $450 each the year
before. Total costs for
room, board and tuition'
for the '74-'75 school year
•
were raised to $2,980
from $2,808 the previous
year.
Joint commencement.
Bruce Wray's letter to
the editor applauded an
article in the previous is-sue
of the .Clarion, titled,
"The Necessity of Separ-ate
Graduation." Wray
notes, "During my four
years here at Bethel I have
searched in vain for a log-ical,
legitimate reason for
the College and Seminary
to graduate together."
Wray said the article
cited two views held in
favor of one commence- -
ment policy: "1) that fu-ture
ministers are given
the opportunity to view
their future congregations,
and 2): that joint com-mencement
promotes uni-ty
and aids in public -re-lations."
"The first argument
hardly deserves a re-sponse,"
Wray said. "Why
not have all Seminary
seniors go to a North
Stars hockey game and
observe the people there?
Maybe .some of t he spec-tators
will be in their fu
lure congregations."
Wray continues, "The
second a rgumen t presup-poses
that unit y between
the two institutions is de-sirable,
Something I do
not believe is true. How
can Iwo schools with ex-pressly
different purposes
and whose students have
little or no contact (except
for a couple of hours on a
Iune afternoon) even pre-
-some to talk about unity?
It is both hypocritical and
undesirable."

Night-life fix: "Thank God it's Friday! Can't wait for

Spending fix. Debate fix. Smoking fix. Attention fix.
Gossip fix. The list goes on.
Fixes: things we need which transfer us from a state
of restlessness to a state of feeling good. We take fixes
because they really do keep us going. Like aspirin, they
grant us temporary relief from our present condition.
When we hear the word 'addiction' we usually think
of chemical dependency . Yet all fixes hold the potential
to make us dependent upon them.
For example, I became a TV addict during my last
years of high school. Every night I compulsively
watched one of the late movies. And I had no freedom
not to. Every night.
To understand why we depend on certain fixes can
be very important. Basically , we turn to them for secur-ity.
They shield us from facing reality and dealing with
it firsthand. So when we feel lonely, or afraid of how
others may think of us, or insecure about our identity,
future or just daily pressures, fixes help us to cover up
such reality. All people have safety valves to vent
tense emotions. And to the extent that they hold a
balance, fixes. are often helpful. The more we lean on
them, however, the more they control us. We turn to
them for freedom and pleasure, and they subtly enslave
us in return.
Sometimes when we habitually seek good feelings
away from reality, we grow numb to feel reality as it
truly is. Our fixes add layers and layers of skin which
cover Our real emotions, and we pretend those feelings
don't exist. Over time, such repression makes us with-draw
from a real world of tension and escape into an
illusionary world of fulfullment. Honesty about our
weaknesses is the only medicine that allows us to live
in a world of tension and still be free to grow.
In the next "Wild Honey and Camel Hair," we'll dis-cuss
religious and spiritual fixes of American Chris-tianity,
as well as Biblical perspectives which help us
deal openly with our weaknesses. Until then, notice the -
things you're hooked on, and call a spade a spade.

Nestle Co. accused of slanting truth
by Becky Dye
The Nestle boycott or-ganization,
INFACT, has
recently been confronted
with a highly-organized
effort attempting to count-er
its influence. This ef-fort,
discovered early in
January and reported by
the Washington Post Jan-uary
4, was planned by
Nestle Corporation top
executives, in secret, to
undermine boycott sup-porters.
The strategy to be used
was for Nestle to asso-ciate
themselves with the
"New Right" and other
organizations with simi-lar
political leanings. At-tempts
were being made
to label the National Coun-cil
of Churches and other
religious supporters as
"Marxists marching tin-der
the banner of Christ."
Nestle has organized an
expensive public relations
program to discredit the
boycotters' efforts.
The most recent at-tempt
by Nestle included
the use of influence on the
media, in particular the
Washington editor of For-tune
magazine, Mr. Her-man
Nickel.
Rev. William Howard,
president of the National
Council of Churches, an
active endorser of the boy-cott,
wrote Nestle's chief
executive officer, "You
have undermined the ven-erable
American tradi-tions
of objective scholar-ship
and journalism by
collaborating with an or-ganization
which is an
obvidusly biased research
center and by consulting
with a journalist who pur-ports
to he an indepen-dent
investigator...More
importantly, you have
sought to divert attention
from the need of signifi-cant
changes in Nestle's
infant formula practices."
INFACT initiated the
boycott against all Nestle
products in 1977, to force
the giant Swiss conglome-rate
to stop its unethical
promotion of infant for-mula
in developing na-lions.
Under conditions of
poverty, the unsafe use of
infant formula leads to
malnutrition, disease and
death. The National Coun-cil
of Churches and over
60 national, civic and re-ligious
bodies have en-dorsed
the boycot t.
"We are shocked by the
callousness of this docu-ment,"
commented Doug-las
Johnson, national chair-person
of INFACT. "Nes-tle
is willing to spend
enormous sums to protect
their reputation when
they ought to be investing
in changes of marketing
practices that will safe-guard
infant lives." John-son
added, "The revela-tion
of this material has
given us renewed commit-ment
to increase the boy-cott's
economic impact On
the company. It is evident
that money is the only
language to which Nestle
will respond."

College life brings a variety of experiences into our
daily existence. To those who venture out from the
dorms, a major encounter is apartment living—especial-ly
survival in the kitchen! Here it is, Bethel. By now
you have most likely had your fill of chicken pot pies
and Kraft Macaroni Dinners, and Mom's supply of food
brought back from Christmas is dwindling danger-ously
low. You need to start looking for other avenues
for consumption in order to make it through to Spring
Break.
In this column you will find help for the mealtime
dilemma. Besides just providing recipes simple enough
for even the real novice, there will be information on the
whats and whys of nutrition. We can't save you from
schoolwork, but maybe we can keep you from hitting
the "mid-term slump" by making you aware that your
body is revolting from a subsistence of Coke and pop-corn
and needs a balance of protein, vitamins and such
to maintain the type of lifestyle in which you are
involved.
This week we have a
recipe for you to try. It's
simple and most of the
ingredients are already in
your cupboard. Try it and
enjoy!

Women break records,
place second in meet
Bethel B-B
maintains
team effort
by Wendy Norberg
Bethel's women's track
team finished in second
place in their first indoor
tri-meet of the season last
weekend. The women beat
Michigan Tech, but were
outnumbered by a large
University of Minnesota-
Duluth squad. Numerous
records and first places
showed that Bethel's team
is again characterized by
few yet good quality
athletes.
In the field events jun-ior
Sarah Barker won the
shot put with a 36'2"
throw; sophomore Carrie
Severson finished fourth.
High-jumper Tammy Ruck
went 4'6" for second place.
Captain Lynn Severson
broke two of her own
school records, finishing
first in both the 55-meter
dash with a time of 7.4
and the 200-meter dash
with 27.0. Teammate Da-nette
Burgess finished
third in the same two
events. Severson and Bur
gess also combined their
efforts with Jenny Bur-gess
and Sherri Lindquist
to win the 4 x 176-yard
relay, setting a school re-cord
at 1:28.3. Jenny Bur-gess
later set a school
record in the 33", 55-meter
hurdles at 9.5 for a second-place
finish. Lindquist
placed third in the 400-
meter dash with 1:06.1.
In the middle distance
events Brenda Harris took
fourth and fifth in the 800-
and 1500-meter runs, re-spectively.
Distance run-ners
Ellie Abbott and Wen-dy
Norberg took second
and third places in the
3,000-meter run with
times of 11:13 and 11:23.

record. . _
Coach Cindy Book was

goals to tie the game. Dave
Eklund scored, assisted
by Scott Dahlstrom and
Dick Smith to make the
score 2-3. Keith Nord tied
up the game with a goal
assisted by Smith and Ek-lund.
The third period evi-denced
Bethel's building
confidence. Rick Reese
fired a score, assisted by
Captain Steve Kettle-kamp,
to move ahead 4-3.
Smith secured the victory
with a goal, with Dahl-strom
and Captain Scott
Johnson assisting. The
Johnnies scored a final
goal in vain, with 2:25 left to
play. They were unable to
make any more of a come-back.
Robbie Laden goal-tended,
making 30 saves.
Coach Dahl commented
on the victory, "We put it
all together and out-played
a team that is at
about our same level and
maturity."
by Ellie Abbott
The women's basket-ball
team put forth a fine
team effort to defeat St.
Benedict's last Friday,
80-59. This victory put
the Royals 2-2 in the divi-sion.
Coach Marcia LaRock
described the win as "a
real team game. "She add-ed,
"Our last two games
we have won have been
real team efforts. We have
shot almost 50 per cent in
the last two games, and
our turnovers have been
diminishing."
Beth Karsjens paved the
way for the Royals with
24 points. JoAnn Griffin
scored 19, while freshman
guard Sue Duehn added
10.
Griffin was the leading
rebounder for Bethel with
thirteen rebounds, and
Karsjens had nine.
The junior varsity also
trampled St. Benedict's,
56-33. Freshman guard
Jane Anderstrom "had an
excellent game scoring 22
points," commented La-
Rock.
The highlight of the
women's trip to Wheaton,
Ill., was defeating Whit-worth
College, 82-70. Shei-la
Kroon and Keri DeBoer
were out with injuries,
but the Royals compen-sated
well. "Everyone on
the team played in the
varsity game and we had
a fine team effort," said
Coach La Rock.

Just when it seemed as
though the Bethel basket-ball
team was going to get
back into the MIAC chase,
the Macalester Scots stole
the show, and the Royals
let a golden opportunity
slip through their hands.
The Royals showed last
Saturday that they were
not the same team that
was embarrassed by Mac
a month ago. The cagers,
inspired by a large crowd
led by an enthusiastic
football team, stormed
back from a 12-point sec-ond
half deficit to take a
five point lead late in the
second session.

The Bethel wrestling
team ended the season on
a disappointing note, los-ing
to Concordia before
topping St. Mary's in a
"triangular" meet last
week. The meet was pri-marily
a dual, because St.
Mary's only brought three
wrestlers.
In the first match Con-cordia
edged St. Mary's
44-6. The second match,
between Concordia and
Bethel, was the main event
of the evening, but that
proved to be unfortunate
for the Royals.
Concordia, according to
Coach Finn Grinaker,
wrestled their best match
of the year.
When Greg Widmer and
Rich Reynolds both lost to
what appeared to be infe-rior
opponents, the lower
weights, it appeared that
the home team might have
a long night. Wayne
Reeves and Ben McEach-ern
both lost close
matches and suddenly
what had been labeled as
an even contest was turn-ing
into a rout. Steve
Bont, at 190, was the only
Royal to win; he defeated
when Dion Wolter re-bounded
a missed free
throw with less than a
minute to play. The Roy-als
brought the ball into
the forecourt and called
time out with 29 seconds
left.
Plans went haywire on
the ensuing inbounds
play, however, when
Mike Hanley was trapped
in the backcourt with no
one to receive a pass. The
resulting steal and basket
gave Macalester a 63-62
lead and set the stage for a
dramatic ending.
The Royals again
brought the ball upcourt
and called time out. Ele-ven
seconds showed on
the clock, and visions of
victory on a last-second
the Cobbers' Craig Aus-tinson.
After taking on Con-cordia,
the Royals disposed
of St. Mary's, 48- 11.
Injuries really started to
take their toll in this, the
second of two home
matches. In addition, the
team lost McEachern to a
dislocated kneecap and
Reeves to an elbow inju-ry,
both probably for the
season.
Assistant Coach Bruce
Barringer admitted he
was disappointed by the
outcome of the Concordia
match: "Last year we lost
to them by one point, and
the year before that we
had a close match also,"
he said.
One bright spot for the
Royals was the perfor-mance
of sophomore Doug
Johnson, wrestling at 167.
He pinned Tim Anderson
of St. Mary's and wrestled
well in losing to Murdich
Mccleod of Concordia.
"Doug's coming off a sea-son-
long battle with in-juries,
and he's looked
very good recently," Bar-ringer
said.

With a tremendous team
effort resulting in many
new school and freshman
indoor records, the Bethel
men's track team easily
captured first place in
its first meet of the in-door
season. University
of Minnesota-Duluth host-ed
last weekend's meet,
finishing second ahead of
Michigan Tech, and Be-midji,
respectively.
Bethel did well in the
field events, with the pole
vaulters creating the most
excitement. Senior Greg
Stipe won with a vault of
14'. His freshman team-mate
Jay Constable took
second, setting a new
freshman record at 13'6".
This vault was also his
personal best by 11/2 feet.
Bethel also dominated
the triple jump with Phil
Asay placing first at 47'7".
Stipe was second with
45'1 1/2". Stipe also finished
second in the long jump
and shot put and took
third in the high jump.
In the hurdles Asay set
two new school records
taking first in the 36"
hurdle 55-meter race with
a time of 7.4, and second
in the 42" hurdle 55-meter
race with 7.7. Constable
set two new freshman re-cords
in the same events
with a 7.9 and 8.4, respec-tively.
In the 400-meter dash
Pa-ul Otto took first place
at 52.1 and Dave Jorgen-son
took second at 52.2,
setting a freshman record.
Jorgenson also set a fresh-man
mark in the 800-meter
with 2:03.7, taking third
place. 'Teammate Jay Van
Loon was right behind
him in fourth place.
In the 500-meter dash
Tom Plocker set a school
record at 1:09 and Tim
Snyder set the freshman
record at 1:11.0.
Captain Otto won the
300 - meter and lowered
the school record to 0:36.4.
Earlier he secured third
place in a very close 55-
meter dash with a time of
0:06.6. Otto also anchored
the first-place mile relay
team consisting of Plock-er,
Jorgenson, and Snyder,
where Bethel came out on
top by a tenth of a second
wtih 3:34.2.
Coaches Dave Ander-son
and Howie Kellogg
agreed that the team mem-bers'
highlighted the meet.
The next meet is Satur-day,
