President Lundquist, and his wife Nancy, traveled to Korea last summer for the world's largest crusade New visitation rules have made male/female encounters sometimes more difficult. Doorstep waits are not uncom-mon (photo by Doug Barkey). LEARN!NG RESOURCE CENTER. BETHEL COLLEGE 3900 Bethel Drive EL PALIL Minnesota 55112 the Clarion. Vol. 56, No. 4 Bethel College St. Paul, MN Oct. 3, 1980 • Korean crusade attracts millions by Beth Stien A new policy this year at Bethel's off-campus apartments is the addition of visitation rules. No per-sons of the opposite sex are allowed in any apart-ment from 2-6 a.m. Accord-ing to Rod Long, director of housing, the change in housing policy came be-cause resident directors felt they had little author-ity to deal with violations of Bethel lifestyle policy in this area. "We try to do more than provide rooms and furni-ture here at Bethel," said Long. "Our housing pro-gram is based on a devel-opmental process; a grad-ual delegation of responsi-. bility takes place as the student progresses, until finally apartment life give the student full responsi-bility to live on his/her own." Asked if some of this responsibility is being ques-tioned by such a rule, Long responded, "We are all bound by Christian life-style here at Bethel. This new policy helps to keep everything above board." He indicated that this does not reflect distrust in the students. In an apart-ment living situation where supervision is as minimal as it is, this pol-icy is meant for those who would flagrantly violate the lifestyle policy. Long reiterated, "It is for the good of the community. We're not just laying down_ rules for rules' sake." Long sees the change as positive, and believes en-forcement will pose few problems. "Most people will go along with it," said Long. "There will always be a small segment who will violate it anyway." He emphasized the flex-ibility of the rule, espe-cially in cases of after-rollerskating parties or study sessions that might run past two o'clock. "If you want to have a group of people in your apart-ment for a party or some type of gathering and you know it will run past two, let the R.D. know what's going on. The rule is flexi-ble enough to make excep-tions. What we're most in-terested in is keeping every-thing up front," said Long. Doug Dye, one of the resident directors at the Silvercrest Apartments, al-so feels the change is posi-tive. He believes Bethel need-ed some guidelines peculiar to apartment living. In reference to enforce-ment Dye responded, "The enforcement is mainly by. Patty Sutton President and Mrs. Lund-quist took part in the lar-gest recorded gathering in history this 'summer dur-ing the World Evangeliza-tion Crusade in Korea. More than two million peo-ple attended each of the four nightly meetings. One night, over 2,700,000 came to the meeting. "The numbers of people were tremendous," said Nancy Lundquist. "We're still pinching ourselves to believe we saw what we did." "When they asked me to come," said Presi-based on an honor system. We expect the students to follow the policy. The A.D.s are not to serve as policemen, but if they're confronted with the prob-lem, this rule gives them a solid way to deal with it." Dye also stated that nega-tive reaction to the policy has been minimal. There has been a visita-tion policy change on new campus as well. Both town-houses and dorms have dent Lundquist. "they were setting goals and praying there might be over two million people." The crusade began with a pre-rally, all-night pray-er meeting. "Those who stayed, stayed all night because under martial law no one is allowed on he streets late at night," said Mrs. Lundquist. President Lundquist led Bible expositions in one of the local churches each morning from 9-12 a.m., as one of fifty speakers in-vited from America. Inter-preters translated into Kor-ean, and the foreigners un-visiting hours from 7-12 on Friday nights and from 2-6 p.m. on Sundays. This change, from extended hours in the townhouses last year, is due to a prim-arily freshman campus. Director Long made it clear that townhouses with all or most residents as upper-classmen are welcome to send a representative to him to discuss possible reinstatement of extended hours. derstood the Korean speak-ers because translations came over FM radio sta-tions. Each morning at 5 a.m., the Koreans gathered to pray, as they do daily. The Lundquists said that they pray differently there. Each person prays outloud in a "big, outside voice" and use movement to ex-press himself. Thinking back to the crusade, Mrs. Lundquist said, "I wouldn't have been surprised if the heavens had opened and the Lord had come right then." "The seriousness of the people was manifested when it rained during one of the two-hour sessions," said the President. "They simply put up umbrellas. After the benediction a half-million remained for by Jay Stuart Russell Artist Billy Mayer thinks the art world has an ele-ment of madness in it. "It's an element you have to have in this business. You have to have both your feet firmly planted in mid-air." Perhaps Mayer commun-icates a little bit of this craziness in his work, now on exhibit in the gallery until Oct. 18. Mayer's ex-hibition opened Tuesday evening with a matrix held earlier in the afternoon. In a matrix, an artist discuss-es his own work in a pub-lic forum. Mayer calls the image or form in his works a sun dog. He saiwd ith has been obssessed with the shape for five years and it has "popped up.. in his mind many times. His works in the gallery capture that shape he calls sun dog. "It's a series of pieces, each of which tries to give a different personality to the form." Why is it called sun clog? Mayer has no idea, and doesn't know, how the image came to his an all-night prayer meet-ing." Except for a few tes-timonies and the invita-tion Bill Bright gave each evening, the Koreans did everything in the nightly service. 90 per cent of the Korean churches partici-pated. "It was impressive to witness the mobilization of the Christian people and the many thousands of peo-ple making professions for Christ," said Mrs. Lund-quist. "But what was more impressive was the hun-dreds and hundreds of young people who express-ed a desire to give them-selves to full-time mission-ary work." The Koreans hope to send out 1000 missionar-ies, primarily for the evan-gelization of Asia. mind. Mayer doesn't like his work classified as mixed media. "You're mixed me-dia," he told his audience, discussing body composi-tion. "What is your fin-oer nail made of?" Mayer said he is cam-paigning for not stuffing his exhibition with a lot of works. "I like to leave breathing room and a clear atmosphere. I think about the air it will breathe." He uses cardboard ex-tensively in.the works be.- cause it's easy to manipu-late. "This allows me to cut or implant forms in the surface, so they're com-pletely married to the sur-face. "I have a fixation with fireworks, and think of . myself as a sort of pyro-maniac." Some of the pieces have firecrackers, sparklers and fuses im-planted in the surface.

Through the generosity of this loan from the Dayton- Hudson Foundation we can care for and enjoy this Thirty-two days from today the eligible citizens of this country will go to the polls to vote for the candi-date of their choice. The position to be filled: President of the United States. As we absorb ourselves in the worries of collegiate life we sometimes fail in our responsibilities as citizens of the free country in which we live, America. We feel little or no sense of obligation to keep abreast of the political scene, fearing the frustrations that is some-times the result of such attention. We think that it makes no difference if we don't vote. There we are wrong. Although the popular vote is not the deciding factor in the presidential election, it does play an important role. The electoral college is strongly influenced by the opinions of its constituents. Even mild apathy on our part may give the members of the electoral college a false impression of, our opnions about the United States presidency. For many the 1980 presidential election is a choice between the lesser of two, or three, evils. The argument goes then, that the lesser of these evils is still an evil. Therefore, why should we vote. The question should be, why shouldn't we vote? At Bethel we can go a step further. Don't we as Christians have an obligation to cast a ballot? (Ah, yes, now we get restless. Now we start to wriggle in our places. Now we feel a tinge of guilt—maybe.) But, we argue, we don't think that we should vote—even as Christians—if we don't know what the issues are and don't really like any of the candidates. We should stand corrected. We should be informed, and the way to information is ours to find. The chan-nels are many, though not always beckoning our atten-tion. There is no doubt that awareness does not come Correction The seminary's Law School of the Bible is offering a course "Un-derstanding the Teach-ings of Jesus," taught by Bob Stein, course in "Improving Your Image," taught by Aud-rey Friberg, and a course by Herbert Klem, "My World: How Can I Reach It?" easy, but that doesn't excuse our lack of effort. So we don't like any of the candidates. There is at least one good element in every presidential candi-date— most likely more than that. Once we become informed we stand in a better position to determine which candidate has the most fine attributes and deserves to be elected. We probably won't agree with everything about any given candidate, but we can find enough common ground on which to rest our case in support of that man. This is not to send anyone down a guilt-laden trail. Ours is not to preach, nor is it to condemn, judge or otherwise chastise. We merely offer a simple reminder, recognizing the intelligence possessed by members of this community. The Clarion wants to do more than remind, and with this issue we begin a series of articles to help the Bethel community reach a greater awareness of "Campaign '80." We begin with a poll that reveals the general opinions of the community regarding candidate and party preference. We will continue with a presentation of the candidates' stands on key issues such as energy, foreign policy, abortion, ERA, minority problems, inflation and the draft. Subsequent issues will present a survey of the issues which influence voters toward a certain candi-date, essays on each candidate by students and profes-sors and, finally, the facts about the where, when and how of voting on November 4. We may think that our voice is small, but imagine the roar that could sound if the more than two thousand members of this community stepped out on election day and made even a small noise. --in b No excuse for no vote in election WHO IS SHE?

The classes are pri-marily "mini-versions" of Bethel classes and are of a "liberal-arts" type accord-ing to Dr. Tricia Brownlee, director of academic pro-grams. The classes, which do not carry any type of credit, are open to anyone and require no educational prerequisite.

Jerry Harder, director of man-agement information sys-tems, hopes to minimize the waiting during regis-tration next term with the aid cf the computer termi-nals on the registration line, and a new line-up system. In about August of 1979, the $100,000-plus compu-ter was installed. Since then, Jerry Harder and Car- Mayer exhibit from page 1 between the surface of the glass and the elements. He said the glass also acts as a mirror. Mayer has made a number of sculp-tures using glass, and has had training in glass blow-ing. Of the different sun dog images, Mayer says he likes best the piece with a sun dog made of small bricks. "It's a love-hate relationship. I like them all, but sometimes they switch, and I'll like ano-ther one a little more than the others." The two sculptures in the gallery act as "suppor-tive sculptures" for the works. "They have a kind This is the second time the School of Adult Enrich-ment has been offered. The program was initiated in the spring of 1980. The school will be offered twice a year with the same basic format but with different course offerings. Lay School of Bible is the adult education pro-gram offered by the semi-nary. "We try to make our faculty and facilities avail-able to a wider commun-ity and hope to enhance the knowledge of the Bible foc, the lay person," ex-plained Robert Feather-stone, associate dean of the seminary The program has been held in the spring and the fall since 1967, with an average attendance of 225-300.

A few of the computer's programs include: registra-tion information, advisor lists, housing information, student class schedules and alumni information.

As to the idea of being both a Christian and an artist, Mayer said, "I don't know how to tie that one together. I do what I do." And how does he deal with the average layper-son who asks about his work, and what it is? "If it's a real touchy piece, I tell him I found it.

Computer programming never seems to be com-plete because improve-ments are always made to make the system more ef-ficient. Some day the li-brary check-out procedure may be computerized, and book store billing, the tele-phone, and possible Clar-ion copy for the printer can be arranged by the computer. Up-to-date information is the computer's greatest asset. All information is accurate as of the last transaction made. This will be particularly bene-ficial in student accounts. Everyone at Bethel will benefit from the system in some way, directly or in-directly. More information is available faster than ever before. For example, class lists are now avail-able within hours of the last registration transac-tion. Does all of this easy-to-obtain information pose a threat to the privacy of students? All roster infor-mation is stored in the computer, but, according to Harder, "personal infor-mation is not available to just anyone, only to auth-orized personnel. The secur-ity system is very elabo-rate." Authorized person-nel are assigned a pass-word, and this is the "key" to the system. In addition, departments are restricted only to information that is related to their work. Harder also emphasized that the new computer is intended to increase effi-ciency, reduce lines and save money, but not elim-inate people. "There are still things people can do faster, easier and better than machines." Bethel employees can be easily trained to run the terminals. "The people as-pect is important," said Harder. "We have tried to make operation of the ter-minal as easy as possible. We want acceptance of the system made as easy as possible." and craziness happens again at Bethel College Oct. 13-18. Monday is fif-ties day, Tuesday is West-ern day, Wednesday is hat day, Thursday is nerd day, and Friday is Royal dress-up day. Thursday night is the first-time-ever homecom-ing bonfire, a time of just sitting around and singing songs. Carnations for your sweetheart, friend, acquain-tance, stranger and/or ene-my will be sold on Friday by the post office. Friday night Steve Camp comes with his full back-up band for a concert. Camp has two albums on the market and is quickly becoming recognized among Christians. John Mogck, one of Bethel's own stock, is the warm-up ar-tist. Tickets cost $3.50 in advance and $4 at the door. Saturday morning the women get their once-a-year opportunity to take out their pent-up aggres-sion at the Powder Puff Football game. To make it look legal, coaches, offi-cials and an ambulance will be provided. Again, as in previous years, the contest is the freshmen/sophomores against the juniors/seniors. Last year the upperclass-men won and would like to claim the title as victors again. Monday and Tuesday juniors nominate the home-coming host and hostess. Nominees will be an-nounced Wednesday. Soph-omores, juniors, and sen-iors will then vote for one of the nominees for host and one for hostess. Saturday the football team plays Macalester at the first homecoming game with the Royals new stands, to hold the hun-dreds of alumni that come for the weekend. Curt Fauth, director of alumni, planned many ac-tivities for the alumni, in-cluding a banquet Satur-day night.

Kicker Royal Investors includes about 300 people who give generous amounts of mon-ey to Bethel on a _regular basis. The money these people give is unrestricted, going where it is the most needed, rather than to a specific area. These unspecified mon-ies go into Bethel's annual, or current, fund which pays for heat, light, salar-ies and all the other ex-penses involved in running the school. Bethel is operated on gifts from many sources besides the Royal Inves-tors. John Sahlin, director of development in Public Affairs, summarized the program this way: "All peo-ple who give to Bethel are Futurist Earl C. Joseph of Sperry Univac will ad-dress two convocation cha-pels Monday and Tuesday Oct. 6 and 7. He will focus on the questions: When you graduate, will a ma-chine do your job? and Is today's technology leading our society toward George Orwell's "1984"? These convocations are not Royal Investors, but they can be, if they pledge a certain amount at least $15 monthly or $180 a year. Most give much more. The point is—that they give on a regular, contin-uing basis and that their gifts are undesignated, in other words, for the cur-rent fund." The Royal Investors re-sembles most fund-raising programs, "It is primarily an acknowledgment and incentive program for those who support Bethel in a regular way," said to Har-vey DeVries, president of the Bethel Development Foundation. Bethel provides acknow-ledgment and incentive by giving all members a mem-bership card, sending them informative literature on the college and seminary partially supported by the Sperry and Hutchinson Foundation, of S & H Green Stamp fame. Joseph, who has been with Sperry Univac since 1951, began researching the future when he was appointed staff consultant/- scientist-futurist in 1963. and admitting them free to some programs and athle-tic events. As a fund-raising pro-gram, the Royal Investors are successful and neces-sary to Bethel's support system. The consensus among those interviewed was that the Royals In-vestors contribute substan-tially to Bethel's $1.6 mil-lion average annual goal. Last year, 1979-80, the in-vestors alone contributed $250,000. The group began around 1959 by five individuals pooling their resources to form the Bethel Investment Corporation. The purposes of the corporation was to initiate Bethel's relocation to the present campus. The program has expanded and evolved into its present "giving club" format. He advises management on future technology, de-sign, impact, application, societal effects and alter-native futures for society. Besides holding three com-puter patents, Joseph is system architect of five major computer systems, co-author of 20 books and author of 100 papers. He is founder, past president and current director of the Minnesota Futurists or-ganization, and editor of the magazine "Future Trends." by Leann M.

Monies collected from the sale .will be app-lied to construction of a ramp for the handicapped to enter the campus. Todd Magnuson, senior senator, reported that the ramp will cost $450. Some funds have already been appropriated so any addi-tional money will be used for additional improve-ments on campus for han-dicapped people.

Sherri Rheingold, the stu-dent representative to the on-site committee reported the committee's discussion of finding a new home for the clipped geese. Five years ago, 20 clipped Canadian geese were plac-ed in Lake Valentine be-cause the species was on the verge of extinction. The lake was a desig-nated wildlife preserve. Since then the flock has grown to over 200. The geese are now beginning to endanger the ecosystem of the lake and tend to make a mess on campus, according to Rheingold's report. When a home is found for the clipped geese, the bubbler to keep the lake thawed will be removed. The hope is that this will encourage the flock to find a new home.

Joseph of Sperry Univac, convocation speaker Oct. 6 and 7 (photo courtesy Bethel publicity office). Joseph speaks on future concerns The kingdom of the wide gate is deceiving The kingdom of the wide gate is like a massive glacier that crawls down a valley slower than the eye can measure. As it progresses it carries every tree and rock off the surface until it finally fills the entire valley. The kingdom of the wide gate is like this. A young girl developed a craving for foods with sugar partly because her parents gave her sweets for good behavior and partly because she reveled in sneaking cookies and chocolates which her parents forbade her to eat. From year to year her craving was fostered, yet equally so were the cavities that spread in her teeth. Neither her parents,nor she herself knew of these cavities until a decade later when her mouth pained to even chew on a chocolate chip. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a company of ants floating down a very slow river on some styrofoam. In relation to all the driftwood and debris that floated along with them, the ants perceived everything as stationary. But in relation to the turtle observing them from the shore, the ants and all else adrift were heading downstream towards the waterfall. The kingdom of the wide gate can be compared to an audience watching a movie in a theatre. During the film the phrases `Eat Popcorn' and 'Drink CocaCola' were flashed on the screen so rapidly that nobody consciously saw it. And during inter-mission nearly everyone went out to the lobby and bought refreshments until all the food and drinks ran out. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a group of children who constructed a variety of sand castles along the sea shore. Some built tall ones; others built long ones. Some castles had moats while others had sea shells for decoration. But soon the high tide came in and washed over all the castles, leveling them as if they were never built. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a mother making gingerbread people. All the dough that doesn't fit into the mold is gathered into a ball and rolled out flat for more people. And when the dough is not enough for the mold the mother eats it raw. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a man who worked on a hundred-piece jigsaw puzzle in order to glue the picture into a frame and preserve it. Every piece was sought out and fitted into its proper place. In due time the puzzle was completed except one piece was missing. As he searched high and low, the lost piece increas-ingly provoked much irritation in him. Finally, he gave up and appeased his anger by throwing out the other ninety-nine pieces in the garbage. The kingdom of the wide gate is similar to a large school of small fish in the ocean. By swimming close together they create the appearance of being unapproachable, hence discouraging potential predators. The fish that wanders or fails to keep up with the school falls prey for any hungry attackers. But the fish that concentrates on swimming in unison with the others maintains his own safety. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a box of rubber bands wherein every member enjoys the relaxed company of his box. And yet each rubber band dreads the way he might be chosen for some purpose.

Page 6 Speech/Communication offers job versatility Forensics flourish at ISU tournament by Debbie Anderson So you think that speech communication majors are destined to give speeches the rest of their lives? Not true, according to several speakers at the Speech As-sociation of Minnesota speech convention. The con-vention, held Friday and Saturday at the College of St. Catherine, covered many topics, from the role of communication in dys-functional families to thea-ter dance in high schools and colleges. Two of the sessions were especially designed for un-dergraduates. They fo-cused on the topic, "What can speech communication graduates do?" Bob Nel-son, a graduate of Maca-lester College and current-ly employed at Northwes-tern Banks, said that a speech communication ma-jor is actually the best ma-jor to have because of its versatility. David Lee, assistant pro-fessor and chairman of the speech communication de-partment at Bethel, said that this is especially im-portant because 80 per cent of the jobs as we know them today will not exist in five years. Tom Netherton, nation-ally known singer with the Lawrence Welk Show, will appear at the Jesus People Church, 805 Hen-nepin Avenue in Minnea-polis, on Saturday, Oct. 11 for two benefit concerts sponsored by the Greater Minneapolis Association of Evangelicals (GMAE). Concert times are 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and tickets cost $6.00 for the evening concert. Senior ci- TwO recent Bethel grad-uates were also on the pro-gram. Scott Larson, a 1980 graduate, spoke on job al-ternatives. Denise (Han-sen) Oie, a 1980 graduate, spoke on skills that are needed on the job. Other speakers gave tips on how to look for a job, ideas for interviews and suggestions for job preparation. Several Bethel students attended the convention. Many left encouraged about job prospects. One student said, "I'm glad I went to the convention. It made me excited about look-ing for a job." by Ginger Hope Amateur linguists at Be-thel want something more than what they learn in the classroom about their field. They want to talk about new developments and opportunities in lin-guistics. And they want to get to know each other.

The Bethel representatives who traveled to Iowa State Uni-versity last weekend in-cluded: Mike Wiseman, sophomore; Beth Neufeld, freshman; and Teresa Eli-ason, senior. Wiseman reached the fi-nal round in extempora-neous speaking. Neufeld she observed while she was in the Philippines for SMP (Student Missionary Project) this summer. Dan Johnson told about the linguistics course he took at the Wycliff Sum-mer Institute of Linguis-tics, held at the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks. achieved semi-final status in impromptu. Rohler said that the "results indicate a fine effort," considering the short amount of time they had to prepare. In addi-tion, Neufeld and Eliason had not previously com-peted in their categories. Rohler said that Bet hel is fortunate to have Neu-feld. Last summer she corn-. pet ed in the high school national speech competi-tion. Several other schools tried to recruit her. Rohler invites anyone in-terested in speech compe-tition, both experienced and beginners, to coach-ing sessions every Tues, day and Thursday at 3:40 p.m. in AC 331. "We want students to learn new areas of communication," he said. North Dakota Slate Uni-iversity is the site for next weekend's tournament. speakers, Bethel faculty and each other. During a meeting they may hear a linguist tell about his new computerized version of the Greek New Testament, or hear from a classmate about available summer linguistics programs. At its first meeting of this year, Sunday, Sept. 21, the group heard from three students about their various linguistics-orient-ed experiences of this sum-mer. Lois "0-i" Malcolm told about her job as an apprentice at the Toronto Institute of Linguistics, where she helped train mis-sionaries to learn new lan-guages more quickly and easily. Kathi Erickson shared with the group about the linguistic characteristics Tom Netherton performs for Jesus People Church Linguistics `LING' with faculty, peers Non-study skills uncovered by government studies by Laura Phillips "Recent government studies now conclusively show that studying drastically improves college students' non-studying skills." I read this with mixed emotions. Being a college student, I was understandably excited to discover myself so personally identified in print. However, skepticism also crept into my well-trained mind upon reading the words, "government studies now conclusively show..." After all, government studies have conclOsively shown leisure suits may cause cancer in mice, and landslides can be hazardous to your health. So what? I read on. "Long suspected of occuring, this improvement of non-study skills was recently uncovered at Bethel College in Arden Hills, Some important findings fol-low. "While 'studying' in the LRC's quiet study area, it was found that the average student becomes extremely adept at: —sleeping —manicuring his/er nails using only teeth and a Bic pen —accurately guessing how many para-graphs a nearby student highlights over a 23 -minute period —eating crinkly-wrapped candy noise-lessly —deciphering film soundtracks coming through the concrete-block wall of the adjoining classroom —slouching —tying and untying his/er shoelaces with-out using hands. "While 'studying' in the LRC next to a window, the average student easily masters the skills of: —sleeping —counting clouds —determining the rug's fiber content —reading book titles eight stacks down —counting leaves on a mature oak tree —depending on the sun's position, mak-ing handmade miniature sundials out of notebook paper —estimating the velocities of passing cars and joggers —composing variations on the theme 'The Fluorescent Light Buzz.' "While 'studying' in Doc's Corner, the average student effortlessly conquers the skills of: —sleeping —adding mustaches and/or beards to all faces in textbook pictures (this skill is somewhat rare due to the appalling scarc-ity of pictures in college textbooks) —people-watching —talking —determining by smell alone the chemi-cal compositions of concoctions occuring in the adjacent chemistry labs —gaining weight (due to cookie intake) —becoming addicted to-coffee." Further studies also show that "studying" in dorms and/or apartments radically alters students' personal-ities. The article continued, but I had decided to test the government's findings and conduct a small-scale study on my own: I would go to the LRC, "study," and record my results. The next day, staggering under a small mountain of philosophy and business textbooks, I laid claim to a quiet study area carrell. Upon opening the first text-book in the mortuary-like silence, strange things began to happen: —I found myself tracing every conceiv-able woodgrain pattern in the carrell I could find. —I wrote my mother a long letter (this may not seem strange, except I am a com-muter). —I tried writing "This carrell is reserved for quite study" in 12 languages (this took some time as I only know one and a half languages). —I fell asleep.

Goodman's duties for the trial position included most of the same duties .associated with the job now, with the exception of a new student exchange program called SWAP. The idea of the program was to exchange 14 other students livith two other campuses for a week, to provide interaction be-tween schools, and "an all-around view of ano-ther campus." Goodman also made ar-rangements with Day-ton's to allow Bethel stud-ents to purchase tickets for all Twin Cities func-tions through his office. His office was located in a rather strange place on old campus—"right in the mid-dle of the coffee shop."

"Our department is ma-turing," said Doug Briggs, chairman. "We've made the big step and we're going to try to stand on our own and compete with other schools of our size, both secular and Christian." In past years the depart-ment has had many begin-ning level classes, but in-sufficient upper level courses. This prompted the decision to revise the cur-riculum. Students wishing to fill a creativity requirement now have creative perfor-mance which is open only to 10 p.m. After ten years, however, the effects of the policy have proven negli-gible: library socializing in 1980 is still a highly communicable disease. New Curriculum. Ever wonder how those Iwo letters become at-tached to some of the course numbers at Bethel? Ten years ago the current curriculum of concern-oriented and discipline-oriented courses was pre-sented before the faculty. The curriculum commit-t ee had been meeting weekly for, two years, and prior to tha,t meet-ings involved discussions on the curriculum. . One of the committee's foremost conclusions was that the studePt "has learned ways to cope with life...and comes to us with common human concerns. It is these concerns with which the new curriculum attempts to deal." The new curriculum saw both the teacher and student as holding these common concerns, with the difference that the teacher had more years of experience behind him. to non-theatre concentra-tors. Creative performance in-troduces students to dif-terpretation, radio and tele-vision. Non-concentrators like the addition of the crea-tive performance course. Karin Christensen, present-ly enrolled in the class, said, "It is nice not to have theatre concentrators in creative performance. I don't have to feel intimi-dated by the people who specialize in theatre." Theatre in the church is another new arrival. This is a practically-oriented class dealing with drama in the church. The Christian in thea-tre, a new upper level course, discusses Christian ethics and theology while integrating it with theatre practice and aesthetics. see page 9 Larson from page 10 MissionarieS, said Larson, should be building bridges • between walls. "The great-est thing that the SMP experience could offer to a young person is the oppor-tunity to go out and learn from somebody whom his culture has told him to look down on," he said. Larson plans to use many of his experiences and findings in two books that he is writing: "Bare-foot Approach to Language Learning" and "Bi-Pass-ing." What is needed is orien-tation programs that can somehow teach attitudes, said Larson. Missionaries must not criticize and separate themselves from the culture, but they must adopt the culture's way of life and actually become a part of it.

It is not the creature from Lake Valen-tine, but Bethel's own cam-pus ministries office, lo-cated in LRC 326. Curt Hansen coordinates Student Outreach, an arm of the office that deals with activities related to church-es and Christian organiza-tions. He helps interested people become involved in youth ministry within churches, teaching Sunday school or leading music. He is the touchstone on campus for organizations such as Campus Crusade, which is involved with evangelism training, and Inter-Varsity, which has turned its Bethel focus towards discipleship and small groups. The Baptist Student Union organization which began last year, and out-reach programs such as Campus Life and Lovelines also keep in contact with Hansen for possible stu-dents for their staffs. Hansen is also involved with Student Missionary Project, which gives Be-thel students a chance to explore missions on a short-term basis. He went on this program himself to the Philippines this summer. Another arm stretching in a different direction is that of social ministries. Suzie Tjernland coordin-ates this.

Dave Horn, assistant campus pastor, is developing cha-pel programs with a diver-sity to meet some of stu-dents varied needs and in-terests. There will be issues dir-ected at students' prob-lems such as a talk by Dr. Art Lewis; biblical studies professor, on "dating." Wed-nesdays have been design-ed to be a more formal type of worship service. Lee Eliason, campus pas-tor while Jim Spickelmier is on sabbatical, and Dr. Bruce Leafblad from the music department, led the community in various forms of worshiping God. Horn has also attemp-ted to use the services of such familiar names as Jill Briscoe, Josh McDowell, John White, Madeline L'En-gle, Arthur Holmes, Tony Campolo, Dawson MacAl-lister, John Perkins and Ken Medema. Horn has approximately $4,000 to work with for the year. This pays for honorariums, travel and lodging for speakers plus additional chapel costs. Horn also looks forward to chapels that tap the creative potential of this community: various stu-dent and faculty chapels; departmental chapels, in-cluding the art, music and drama departments; and various multi-media pre-sentations. This year he wants to get away from just speaker-oriente chapels. Although Horn does the chapel programming, he receives suggestions from the chapel and spiritual life committee. He also en-courages suggestions from the students and faculty. While chapel programs are designed to be atten-tion- getting, entertainment is not their goal. Horn feels that if there is something challenging or thought-pro-voking, people will be there. "I'm excited about this year and the tone that's on campus," Horn said. He sees chapel as having a significant role in the com-munity. He also stressed that chapel attendance is expected. "I think we need to re-evaluate the word 'expected.' Students have a responsibility. Whether or not chapel is entertain-ing is besides the point." by Roger Smolik "It is unusal for a Chris-tian college to have an Inter- Varsity chapter," admitted senior Gwen Knight, and that makes Bethel's Inter- Varsity chapter unique.

Some would spend days, weeks or .even the remainder of their lives in the catacombs. Inside the catacombs today one can still find the altar areas where people gathered. Un-doubtedly, those who sought refuge came togeth-er to sing praises and en-courage one another. Using the ancient COM') experience as an anal-ogy, there is a CreAVe, student-run worship ser-vice at Bethel that, in a similar way, attempts to fulfill the needs of this Christian community. Many times we take for granted our privilege to worship as we please and when we please. We too suffer through hardship and persecution in our every-clay lives. When studies, roommates, and our own personal rela lion-ship with Jesus Christ are getting its down, the Cata-combs worship experience provides a refuge for our tired minds and heavy hearts. ship of Evangelical Stu-dents. The purpose of the small groups is to provide not only a Bible study and prayer time' but to also instill a conscious sense of worship, missions and com-munity within the groups. So far this fall the popu-larity of the small group Bible studies has been so great that these "small groups" have had a diffi-cult time maintaining their minuteness. However, this is not being perceived as a catastrophe, as the enthu-siasm only promotes the quality of fellowship at Bethel. In addition to holding daily Bible studies and en-couraging the use of prayer partners, Inter-Varsity is interested in providing Bi-ble study materials to any other small groups that would care to use them.

Senior Bonnie Goding spent the summer working in Narimasu, Japan for SMP. Page 9 Summer SMPers weigh attitudes, babies, culture by Naomi Ludeman Bonnie Goding, senior, learned a lotabout faith as one of 36 students sent out under the Student Mission-ary Project (SMP) last summer. One afternoon she found herself lost, be-wildered and against many odds. She had to choose a train to board out of approximately a hun-dred to take her to her des-tination. She could not speak the language to ask for help. All she could do was believe that God would guide her to the right train. "By a miracle," she said, she arrived safety in Nari-masu, Tokyo, Japan, where she taught conversational English and led Bible stud-ies in a Christian church. Besides adjusting to the domestic cultural habits of Japan she had to deal with a different way of thinking and of dealing with conflict. "In Japan the group is more important than the individual," she said. "When solving a conflict, everyone's suggestions are used with total considera-tion to make the final deci-sion. Voicing honest per-sonal opinions is not ex-pected. An individual iden-tity does not exist apart from the group. I learned to be more patient and put myself in their shoes." Goding recognized many of her own hidden cultural patterns and often ques-tioned whether they truly represented Christianity. "What cultural things in the American church does God put up with in order to accomplish His greater purpose?" she asked. Goding holds the same positive feelings about mis-sions she had before she left. She believes she would have a ministry whe-ther she remained in the United States or-traveled abroad. "If the Lord calls me, I will most definitely go anywhere," she said. "The most urgent thing I would tell the Bethel fam-ily is that God is faithful. He has walked the way before us. We can go into anything and be conquer-ors," she emphasized. Ginny Olson, junior, spent her summer in Ken-ya, Africa, with the help of SMP. Her work involved weighing babies for health clinics, typing business sta-tistics for the Kijabe Med-ical Centre and teaching English and Sunday school. "Just because I was do-ing an obvious task for the Lord did not mean I was a super-saint. I hit the same rain clouds in Kenya as I do here." Olson's expectations of herself for the summer lev-eled to reality once she started her work in Ken-ya. "I thought I would make a big impact and that I was doing something spe-cial. I was humbled in see-ing myself as just one of many of the Lord's work-ers," she said. It was a great summer, but not all fun. She be-came frustrated with her job and the people around her. "I got caught up in the same trivial things there as I can be caught in at home," Olson said. She made friends with the peo-ple with whom she lived and worked, but she also felt alone at times. She said through the summer "God has become my best friend. Wherever I am, He is. He is not tied by physical boun-daries." Two years ago Olson did not think missions was for her. She heard that if you are not open to any-where God wants you to be than you are not totally His. The Lord began to change her attitude. Doors started to open for the pos-sibilities of a missionary experience through SMP. After attending Urbana '79 her desire grew, so she applied to SMP. "Now I feel that our prayer should not be whether we are called to go but whether we are called to stay!" she said. On the opposite side of Africa another Bethel stu-dent served through SMP, junior Mark Whittemore. Before going to Africa, Whittemore thought of him-self as a spectator of mis-sions rather than an ac-tual worker. His exper-ience in the Benin Repub-lic was just the opposite. By day he was a fix-it man, maintenance man and carpenter. He learned to create make-shift equip-ment out of available ma-terials. By night he taught Bible and English studies and had prayer with the Chris-tian nationals. The Benin Republic has an unstable government. The present government has controlled the Repub-lic for only seven .years. The fact that political change could take place any time unsettled Whit-temore some. He also fear-ed the nationals' reactions to him as a white man. The most pertinent les-son Whittemore learned was the meaning of the phrase "by prayer." He was away from the people he knew and loved best. "It was just the Lord and me," he said. Yet by prayer he experienced peace. He said he developed an "unyield-ing confidence in the Lord no matter what the circum-stance." We also experienced the reality of the bridge of prayer. Knowing that peo-ple prayed for him en-couraged and comforted him. He wants to encour-age everyone to pray for and write to specific mis-sionaries. Whittemore was sur-prised to learn that "mis-sionaries are real people." They have anxieties. A night for fun and a game of Yahtzee was a common sight. They appreciate ma-terial things too, he said. Whittemore urged the Be- Theatre department from page 7 Changes have also been made in theatre practicum, the department's senior sem-i na r. Projects are designed by the individual and ap-proved by the faculty. Prd-jects can include design-ing lights or costumes for a play, writing and per-forming a play or doing a type of senior recital with different types of drama-tic pieces or oral interpre-tations. Daniel Runion, a senior theatre concentrator, said, "It is exciting to see the changes. It offers those in the theatre arts program and those coming into the program an opportunity thel family not to "hesitate because you feel unquali-fied or because of finances. The Lord needs availabil-ity more than ability." These are only three of the thirty-six students sup-ported by the prayer and finances of many last sum-mer. All are eager to talk about their enriching sum-mers. Students interested in SMP may contact the campus ministries office. for a more intense and serious study." These changes will cause lower enrollment for upper level courses but will strenghten the department for theatre concentrators. It will give concentrators a chance to excel in their classes because all the stu-dents will be advanced and more serious about the sub-ject. "It is distinctive to have a theatre arts program at a Christian school," said Briggs. "We hope to draw more theatre concentrators as freshman because of our changes."

Page 10 Welcome Week: new light to old ideas by Shari Goddard Dr. Alfred Glenn used fifteen years of his "Theol-ogy One" class as a cruci-ble for his book, "Taking Your Faith to Work." In short, easy-to-read sec-tions, Glenn attempts to supply solid theological an-swers for important ques-tions of applied faith. In each doctrinal study, Glenn writes in a refresh-ingly simple style that brings theological jargon into firm, easily under-standable language. His to-pics of exploration include: the essence of Christian faith, the Church, worship, Sunday, work, politics, marriage, death, the self, Spiritual gifts, authority and mystery. In his preface, Glenn ex-plains that one of his goals was to "correct misunder-standings that are frequent-ly held by evangelicals ... every topic in this book touches on evangelical mis-understandings that are ei-ther contrary to Scripture, or simply inadequate inter-pretations of Scripture." Though the sections are not meant to be fully devel-oped statements of sys-tematic theology, the thoughtful development of each subject brings into perspective complex issues of faith in a modern world. While he attempts to an-swer many questions, Glenn is also careful to leave the reader with some unanswered. Each section A public forum on the U.S.-Iran crisis will be held on October 10th and 11th.

Franklin, Minneapolis, by Sue Fahrenkamp This year's Welcome Week program was dif-ferent from other years at Bethel College, a difference attributed to new leader-ship, both among students and administration. The student leaders of the 1980 Welcome Week staff, Tammy Carlson and Gregg Heinsch, both sen-iors, began their work in January 1980. Their task, co-ordinating Welcome Week, was completed this fall when the new fresh-men and transfer students were oriented to Bethel. Carlson and Heinsch be-gan by determining goals and philosophies for the 1980 Welcome Week. The new emphasis this year was not merely on academics. Rather, the em-ends with questions for discussion. Glenn lists Scripture pas-sages in full if their use is especially essential to an argument, but he encour-ages looking up many of the references for the rea-der's own benefit. The twelve separate sec-tions make this an excel-lent choice for group or class study. The topical arrangement also lends it good form for use as a per-sonal reference. It is hoped that another fifteen years need not pass for the cru-cible of the classroom to help Glenn pull another vibrant work from the fire. a series of workshops will be held on such topics as Iran and the media, the role of Islam and the his-tory of U.S.-Iranian rela-tions. A film and slide-show will also be shown. Suggested donation is $2 for each day. Bring your own lunch or call in reser-vations for a prepared lunch.

According to Carlson, "Welcome Week was to show that being a Christian was not some-thing outside of academ-ics. It is integrated with social and spiritual growth as well." Choosing participants for the 1980 Welcome Week Staff was the next step for the coordinators. Auditions were held last March. Out of 150 applicants, 48 were chosen on the basis of how they would fit into the goals of the program. No returning staff member was allowed to come back without audition. This year's theme verse was Psalms 126:3, "The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad." The staff members served the new students out of the joy that God has given them. Carlson and Heinsch picked a staff that would reach out to other people. When talking about the selection of participants, Carlson said, "We spent a lot of time in prayer." Preparing spiritually played a big role in this year's Welcome Week. The staff prayed a lot, espe-cially in times of need. by Debra Anderson A sabbatical does not mean a vacation, at least not for Don Larson, pro-fessor of linguistics and anthropology. Larson was in Southeast Asia from April 6 to May 6 this past spring, researching and as-sisting missionary orien-ta lion programs. His task was to help missionaries who were having trouble adapting to the culture and language of the country. Larson spent most of his time in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand and Bangladesh. A "typical" clay began at 6:30 a.m. when he was picked up to go to the home of a missionary to discuss their problems in language learning. At 8 a.m. he went to a language school to meet with the director and teach-ers. He visited classes and exchanged questions and answers with both teach- "We're praying because it works, not because it's the thing to do," said Heinsch. A new and different high-light was a communion service last May when all the planning was done, per-formed by an off-campus pastor. The spiritual em-phasis helped unite the staff. Carlson and Heinsch ac-credit the new and differ-ent organization of Wel-come Week to the new dean of men, Charles Retts. Both the leaders agreed ,* ers and students. He usually spent lunch with a committee that wanted to discuss mission-ary issues. By 2:30 p.m. he was at a teacher's home discussing more topics concerning language learning. • Later in the afternoon he met with students. 6:30 was suppertime, fol-lowed by an informal meet-ing with missionary lead-ers. When everyone left and Larson was alone, Lar-son said he pulled out his notes and tape recorder so that when he returned home he "wouldn't get to-day confused with tomor-row." Larson left Southeast Asia with a deeper reali-zation that missionaries should be more socially and culturally prepared to go into the mission field. He cited one case of a missionary who, after three years, had not yet learned the language of the Asian country he was that Retts was a positive influence. Said Heinsch, "Charlie gave. us a new enthusiasm. He gave a new light to old ideas." Retts stressed the need for proper organization and communication. These two elements were very important because Wel-come Week involved eve-ryone in the school, not just 48 staff members. Retts attended almost all the functions of . Welcome Week, and really became one of the staff. 41, in. After probing and ques-tioning, Larson discovered that this missionary had been stationed in this same Asian country while he was in the United States Army. During the service, the man develop-ed a resentment against t he people of the country. Thirteen years later these feelings were still simmer-ing, making him ineffec-tive as a missionary, said Larson. He said that this was just one example of how walls are built between people. All too often mis-sionary candidates are "unable, unwilling and un-ready to learn from people their own culture has taught them to look down on." Instead of having a su-perior attitude, missionar-ies should be learners, striv-ing to live side-by-side with people from that country. see page 7 Glenn produces 'vibrant work' Forum to address U.S. Iran crisis Don Larson resumes teaching responsibilities after a one-semester sabbatical. Sabbatical material bound for publication Page 11 Royals top Hamline, tie Gustavus by T.J. Johnson The soccer team is still going about its winning ways this week with a 2-0 victory over Hamline on Wednesday and a 0-0 tie on Saturday. In both games Royals dominated play most of the game. The Saturday game against Gustavus was the biggest game of the year so far. They went ready to play. They wanted a win and proved it with great defense by Andy Larson who has really taken con-trol of that aspect of the game along with Steve Fi-gini, Jeff Krause, Doug Bar-key and especially goalie Bo Cedersjo, who has now 3 scoreless games to his credit. This defense has only let in one goal - in the last three games. The coach said Greg "Zig-gy" Held played super on offense, getting off many shots. He also said the soccer team has really come around the corner and is going to be one of the top teams. By the end of the year they are going to have to come to us. The J.V. team is really starting to come around. On Saturday they had a 1-1 tie with the Gushes J.V., with a goal - being scored by freshman Dave Anderson. If they would have pulled out the first game, Mark Leigh thinks we would have won the second game too. "It was an excellent game both ways. They played well too and I'm pleased with the results," said Leigh. The Wednesday game was a different story. The team started out slow and tired but finished out on top with goals by Steve "William" Figini and Joel "Edman" Kraakevic with assists from Capt. Jon Fredrickson, senior. Halfbacks Kraakevic, Neil Kaiser and Mark Koerner, the silent work-horse, played exceptional soccer in the Wednesday game. Cedersjo earned the 2-0 shutout after an excellent game with help from jun-ior Andy Larson. The team would has a five game homestand start-ing Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 4 p.m. against Bethany Lu-theran College. The next conference game is against a tough St. Thomas team Saturday, Oct. 4. /7/7,//1/11 ///- -1)1,17/:, Bethel harriers defeated by NW, run fastest race of the season by JoAnn Watkins Canoe races, bike races, a swim meet and a chess tournament make up a few of the ten new events add-ed to the intramural sche-dule this year. "We're try-ing to open up more things for more students instead of concentrating on just the big things," explains Phil Almeroth, intramural director. Other additions include men's volleyball, a cross-country meet, a back-gammon tournament, a cross-country ski race and a track meet. The student directors of the intramural program this year are Leslie Smith and Phil Almeroth. Smith, junior, has a physical ed-ucation concentration. She will be in charge of all women's events. Almeroth also a junior, has a busi-ness concentration. George Palke, assistant professor in physical edu-cation and basketball coach, is the faculty advi-sor for the program. Bob Giddings, Bob Gerr, Shei-la Kroon and Brad Nau-man will serve as events supervisors. Faculty, staff and any students taking at least one class are eligible to participate. Students on a varsity or junior varsity team cannot participate in that intramural sport. There will be five days in advance of each activity to sign up. Almeroth em-phasizes that they will be strict on the deadlines, al-lowing no exceptions. Fees will be charged for some of the large team events, and following the tournaments individual and team champions will receive a certificate. Win-ners in each of the sports can also purchase T-shirts. Almeroth states that sign-up sheets for reserv-ing racquetball courts are at the intramural office, PE 221, Friday mornings at 7:30. Reservations are the following Monday through Saturday. The intramural depart-ment will open the gym from 8:15-10:15 on week-day nights, 9-4 p.m. on Saturdays and 2-4 p.m.on Sundays for anyone who wishes to use the facil-ities. The department has ath-letic equipment which stu-dents and faculty may check out with a valid ID card. Items available in-clude basketballs, canoes, tennis racquets, ski equip-ment and volleyball equip-ment. Some items require a rental fee. Further information can be found in the intramural handbook containing all eligibility rules, sports rules, rental fees and pre-vious standings.

"It's really encouraging to see Friesen's time im-prove so much because he trained so hard this sum-mer and has really worked hard this fall," said Glader. Northwestern took sec-ond and third places, but Dwight Newman placed fourth over-all and second for Bethel.

Coach Cindy Book commented, "It should be good. St. Olaf and Carleton will give us good fights." Saturday the Royals blasted their way to first place in the tournament at -Hamline. "I was pleased; we did not play a high and emo-tional game. We were able to play and execute. The ball came over and we played, passed and hit it," said Coach Book. Bethel played in four matches of two games each, finishing 8-0 at the end of the day. St. Thomas was their first opponent; Bethel won 15-10 and 15-7. Bethel de-feated Hamline, the most worthy opponent, in a closer match, 15-13 and 15-8. Against Mayville, Be-thel finished on top 15-1 by Phil Almeroth The Bethel Royals foot-ball squad found out Sat-urday that you can't keep a good team down. They took on the highly-ranked UW-River Falls Falcons and found out what a good football team can really do. The Falcons big-play offense was too much for the Royals who lost 51-15. The Falcons, who made the NAIA playoffs last year, and this year were rated sixth in the nation, rolled out to an early lead. Their first touchdown came on a 56-yard scamper by quarterback Jim Abbs. The Royals took the the ensuing kick-off and drove down to the Falcon two-yard line. On the fourth down the Royals gambled and went for six points instead of a field goal. But quarterback Jim Anderstrom fumbled the snap from center and Bethel's hopes for an upset seemingly were smashed. River Falls then went down the field, culminat-ing the drive with a one-yard run by halfback Dale Mueller. The conversion made the score 14-0, River Falls. The Falcons scored their third touchdown of the first quarter on a raz-and 15-8. And, to conclude the day, Bethel devastated Concordia-St. Paul, 15-1 and 15-4. Bethel alone had a perfect record for the tournament, earning them the tournament title. Book commented on the individual performances this weekend, "In that many games it is difficult to pick one or two (best performances); every sin-gle person came through for us. This year we are blessed with depth on the bench. I can take them off the bench, put them in the game and have confidence in their play." Bethel also defeated Gus-tavus Adolphus and St. Scholastica last week in three out of five matches. The Royals now stand 9-2 over-all and 1-0 in the con-ference. Coach Book said that of the six teams in the Northern Minnesota Con-ference four will go to the _ State tournament, and "We have a good chance of being one of them." zle-dazzle, flea-flicker pass for 46 yards and extended their lead to 21-0. In the second quarter, the Royals gave the fans a glimpse of what Bethel foot-ball can become. For the second straight week, fresh-man Steve Doten came in the game and directed the Royals to two touchdowns. The first drive was im-pressive as Doten consis-tently found that his re-ceivers, especially Pete Kramka and Rich Graves, were always in an open area. Then, at the Falcon's three-yard line, Doten hit Ken Cooper and "Coop" was all alone going into the end zone. Paul Lind-berg's conversion brought Bethel closer at 21-7. Later, Doten found Rich Graves open in the end zone after another strong drive. The senior wide re-ceiver hauled in the pass. and the score was 21-13. The Royals lined up for the conversion kick, but holder Rich Duehn took the snap and threw to Coo-per for two points. making the halftime score 21-15. In the second half the Falcons showed their pow-er as they ran and passed at will for consistently long gains. They began kvith 33-yard field goal and add-ed touchdown runs of 9, 1, Tomorrow the women's cross country team will compete at St. Olaf in a large invitational meet. Coach Leighton Betz pre-dicted it would be an "ex-tremely tough meet, as all the better schools will be there." Last week Bethel fin-ished eighth of 13 at the Mankato meet, and every-one ran a personal best. Ellie Abbott finished the three mile, 188-yard course first for Bethel and 12th of the 100 runners with a time of 19:09. Linda Hallblade finished 46th with 21:05; Daryl Pe-terson came in 51st with 23:12; Kathy Zappe was 52nd with 23:49; Carla Lorch took the 59th posi-tion with 24:94; JoAnne Ferril was 61st with 24:25; Ruth Olsen came in 91st with 26:08; and Penny Ly-on finished 93rd with 26:32. Brenda Harris and Lana Lauwers did not partici-pate due to injuries. Coach Betz said of the upcoming St. Olaf meet, "The St. Olaf course is hilly, which presents a new type of challenge, but it will add some interest to the meet." The State tournament will take place at St. Olaf, so the team will be able to practice for it. Coach Betz pointed out that in Bethel's Division only one woman finished ahead of Abbott last weekend in Mankato. Coach Betz said that t he team is looking toward its own invitational on Octo-ber 18. 10 and 74 yards. Bethel Head Coach Dud Lutton attributed the Fal-con's domination to con-fusion on the part of the Bethel defense. "They used some alignments and for-mations that we were not prepared for. When they used a basic offense, we were able to stay with them. But when they used a different offense in the second half, we had some problems with it." Coach Lutton was pleased with Doten's pass-ing and the receiving of Graves, Cooper, Kramka and Frank Sanza. "Offen-sively, Steve Doten did some good things for us, and our receivers also did a very good job. Also, our offensive line was much-improved in their pass blocking. Our major goal this year is to get the struc-ture of our program into effect. Further down, as our program grows, we will be able to compete with teams like (River Falls)." When asked if the quar-terback changes made in the last two weeks are permanent, Lutton said "No, but we're working on it." Men's Cross Country- Carleton Inv.

Vol. 56, No. 4 Bethel College St. Paul, MN Oct. 3, 1980 • Korean crusade attracts millions by Beth Stien A new policy this year at Bethel's off-campus apartments is the addition of visitation rules. No per-sons of the opposite sex are allowed in any apart-ment from 2-6 a.m. Accord-ing to Rod Long, director of housing, the change in housing policy came be-cause resident directors felt they had little author-ity to deal with violations of Bethel lifestyle policy in this area. "We try to do more than provide rooms and furni-ture here at Bethel," said Long. "Our housing pro-gram is based on a devel-opmental process; a grad-ual delegation of responsi-. bility takes place as the student progresses, until finally apartment life give the student full responsi-bility to live on his/her own." Asked if some of this responsibility is being ques-tioned by such a rule, Long responded, "We are all bound by Christian life-style here at Bethel. This new policy helps to keep everything above board." He indicated that this does not reflect distrust in the students. In an apart-ment living situation where supervision is as minimal as it is, this pol-icy is meant for those who would flagrantly violate the lifestyle policy. Long reiterated, "It is for the good of the community. We're not just laying down_ rules for rules' sake." Long sees the change as positive, and believes en-forcement will pose few problems. "Most people will go along with it," said Long. "There will always be a small segment who will violate it anyway." He emphasized the flex-ibility of the rule, espe-cially in cases of after-rollerskating parties or study sessions that might run past two o'clock. "If you want to have a group of people in your apart-ment for a party or some type of gathering and you know it will run past two, let the R.D. know what's going on. The rule is flexi-ble enough to make excep-tions. What we're most in-terested in is keeping every-thing up front," said Long. Doug Dye, one of the resident directors at the Silvercrest Apartments, al-so feels the change is posi-tive. He believes Bethel need-ed some guidelines peculiar to apartment living. In reference to enforce-ment Dye responded, "The enforcement is mainly by. Patty Sutton President and Mrs. Lund-quist took part in the lar-gest recorded gathering in history this 'summer dur-ing the World Evangeliza-tion Crusade in Korea. More than two million peo-ple attended each of the four nightly meetings. One night, over 2,700,000 came to the meeting. "The numbers of people were tremendous," said Nancy Lundquist. "We're still pinching ourselves to believe we saw what we did." "When they asked me to come," said Presi-based on an honor system. We expect the students to follow the policy. The A.D.s are not to serve as policemen, but if they're confronted with the prob-lem, this rule gives them a solid way to deal with it." Dye also stated that nega-tive reaction to the policy has been minimal. There has been a visita-tion policy change on new campus as well. Both town-houses and dorms have dent Lundquist. "they were setting goals and praying there might be over two million people." The crusade began with a pre-rally, all-night pray-er meeting. "Those who stayed, stayed all night because under martial law no one is allowed on he streets late at night," said Mrs. Lundquist. President Lundquist led Bible expositions in one of the local churches each morning from 9-12 a.m., as one of fifty speakers in-vited from America. Inter-preters translated into Kor-ean, and the foreigners un-visiting hours from 7-12 on Friday nights and from 2-6 p.m. on Sundays. This change, from extended hours in the townhouses last year, is due to a prim-arily freshman campus. Director Long made it clear that townhouses with all or most residents as upper-classmen are welcome to send a representative to him to discuss possible reinstatement of extended hours. derstood the Korean speak-ers because translations came over FM radio sta-tions. Each morning at 5 a.m., the Koreans gathered to pray, as they do daily. The Lundquists said that they pray differently there. Each person prays outloud in a "big, outside voice" and use movement to ex-press himself. Thinking back to the crusade, Mrs. Lundquist said, "I wouldn't have been surprised if the heavens had opened and the Lord had come right then." "The seriousness of the people was manifested when it rained during one of the two-hour sessions," said the President. "They simply put up umbrellas. After the benediction a half-million remained for by Jay Stuart Russell Artist Billy Mayer thinks the art world has an ele-ment of madness in it. "It's an element you have to have in this business. You have to have both your feet firmly planted in mid-air." Perhaps Mayer commun-icates a little bit of this craziness in his work, now on exhibit in the gallery until Oct. 18. Mayer's ex-hibition opened Tuesday evening with a matrix held earlier in the afternoon. In a matrix, an artist discuss-es his own work in a pub-lic forum. Mayer calls the image or form in his works a sun dog. He saiwd ith has been obssessed with the shape for five years and it has "popped up.. in his mind many times. His works in the gallery capture that shape he calls sun dog. "It's a series of pieces, each of which tries to give a different personality to the form." Why is it called sun clog? Mayer has no idea, and doesn't know, how the image came to his an all-night prayer meet-ing." Except for a few tes-timonies and the invita-tion Bill Bright gave each evening, the Koreans did everything in the nightly service. 90 per cent of the Korean churches partici-pated. "It was impressive to witness the mobilization of the Christian people and the many thousands of peo-ple making professions for Christ," said Mrs. Lund-quist. "But what was more impressive was the hun-dreds and hundreds of young people who express-ed a desire to give them-selves to full-time mission-ary work." The Koreans hope to send out 1000 missionar-ies, primarily for the evan-gelization of Asia. mind. Mayer doesn't like his work classified as mixed media. "You're mixed me-dia," he told his audience, discussing body composi-tion. "What is your fin-oer nail made of?" Mayer said he is cam-paigning for not stuffing his exhibition with a lot of works. "I like to leave breathing room and a clear atmosphere. I think about the air it will breathe." He uses cardboard ex-tensively in.the works be.- cause it's easy to manipu-late. "This allows me to cut or implant forms in the surface, so they're com-pletely married to the sur-face. "I have a fixation with fireworks, and think of . myself as a sort of pyro-maniac." Some of the pieces have firecrackers, sparklers and fuses im-planted in the surface.

Through the generosity of this loan from the Dayton- Hudson Foundation we can care for and enjoy this Thirty-two days from today the eligible citizens of this country will go to the polls to vote for the candi-date of their choice. The position to be filled: President of the United States. As we absorb ourselves in the worries of collegiate life we sometimes fail in our responsibilities as citizens of the free country in which we live, America. We feel little or no sense of obligation to keep abreast of the political scene, fearing the frustrations that is some-times the result of such attention. We think that it makes no difference if we don't vote. There we are wrong. Although the popular vote is not the deciding factor in the presidential election, it does play an important role. The electoral college is strongly influenced by the opinions of its constituents. Even mild apathy on our part may give the members of the electoral college a false impression of, our opnions about the United States presidency. For many the 1980 presidential election is a choice between the lesser of two, or three, evils. The argument goes then, that the lesser of these evils is still an evil. Therefore, why should we vote. The question should be, why shouldn't we vote? At Bethel we can go a step further. Don't we as Christians have an obligation to cast a ballot? (Ah, yes, now we get restless. Now we start to wriggle in our places. Now we feel a tinge of guilt—maybe.) But, we argue, we don't think that we should vote—even as Christians—if we don't know what the issues are and don't really like any of the candidates. We should stand corrected. We should be informed, and the way to information is ours to find. The chan-nels are many, though not always beckoning our atten-tion. There is no doubt that awareness does not come Correction The seminary's Law School of the Bible is offering a course "Un-derstanding the Teach-ings of Jesus," taught by Bob Stein, course in "Improving Your Image," taught by Aud-rey Friberg, and a course by Herbert Klem, "My World: How Can I Reach It?" easy, but that doesn't excuse our lack of effort. So we don't like any of the candidates. There is at least one good element in every presidential candi-date— most likely more than that. Once we become informed we stand in a better position to determine which candidate has the most fine attributes and deserves to be elected. We probably won't agree with everything about any given candidate, but we can find enough common ground on which to rest our case in support of that man. This is not to send anyone down a guilt-laden trail. Ours is not to preach, nor is it to condemn, judge or otherwise chastise. We merely offer a simple reminder, recognizing the intelligence possessed by members of this community. The Clarion wants to do more than remind, and with this issue we begin a series of articles to help the Bethel community reach a greater awareness of "Campaign '80." We begin with a poll that reveals the general opinions of the community regarding candidate and party preference. We will continue with a presentation of the candidates' stands on key issues such as energy, foreign policy, abortion, ERA, minority problems, inflation and the draft. Subsequent issues will present a survey of the issues which influence voters toward a certain candi-date, essays on each candidate by students and profes-sors and, finally, the facts about the where, when and how of voting on November 4. We may think that our voice is small, but imagine the roar that could sound if the more than two thousand members of this community stepped out on election day and made even a small noise. --in b No excuse for no vote in election WHO IS SHE?

The professors will be teach-ing from their field of spe-cialization, thus creating a variety of quality classes. The School of Adult En-richment is offered by the college. The classes are pri-marily "mini-versions" of Bethel classes and are of a "liberal-arts" type accord-ing to Dr. Tricia Brownlee, director of academic pro-grams. The classes, which do not carry any type of credit, are open to anyone and require no educational prerequisite. "We would like to see this as an outreach," said Brownlee, "and as a ser-vice to the community. by Leann Kicker Long lines may be a thing of the past at Bethel thanks to the new computer. Jerry Harder, director of man-agement information sys-tems, hopes to minimize the waiting during regis-tration next term with the aid cf the computer termi-nals on the registration line, and a new line-up system. In about August of 1979, the $100,000-plus compu-ter was installed. Since then, Jerry Harder and Car- Mayer exhibit from page 1 between the surface of the glass and the elements. He said the glass also acts as a mirror. Mayer has made a number of sculp-tures using glass, and has had training in glass blow-ing. Of the different sun dog images, Mayer says he likes best the piece with a sun dog made of small bricks. "It's a love-hate relationship. I like them all, but sometimes they switch, and I'll like ano-ther one a little more than the others." The two sculptures in the gallery act as "suppor-tive sculptures" for the works. "They have a kind This is the second time the School of Adult Enrich-ment has been offered. The program was initiated in the spring of 1980. The school will be offered twice a year with the same basic format but with different course offerings. Lay School of Bible is the adult education pro-gram offered by the semi-nary. "We try to make our faculty and facilities avail-able to a wider commun-ity and hope to enhance the knowledge of the Bible foc, the lay person," ex-plained Robert Feather-stone, associate dean of the seminary The program has been held in the spring and the fall since 1967, with an average attendance of 225-300.

A few of the computer's programs include: registra-tion information, advisor lists, housing information, student class schedules and alumni information. Harder and Christ still have about nine months to a year of work program-ming ahead of them. Only then will Bethel no longer be dependent on, and pay= ! of conversation going on between them: a duality. Sometimes I think one sculpture is better than the other, and vice versa." As to the idea of being both a Christian and an artist, Mayer said, "I don't know how to tie that one together. I do what I do." And how does he deal with the average layper-son who asks about his work, and what it is? "If it's a real touchy piece, I tell him I found it. I look at people who put rubber stripes on tennis shoes, or plastic tips on shoelaces and think those are weird jobs. I think what I do is normal." by Debbie Anderson Homecoming week with all its traditional (and not-so- traditional) excitement ing for, the service of the service bureau. Computer programming never seems to be com-plete because improve-ments are always made to make the system more ef-ficient. Some day the li-brary check-out procedure may be computerized, and book store billing, the tele-phone, and possible Clar-ion copy for the printer can be arranged by the computer. Up-to-date information is the computer's greatest asset. All information is accurate as of the last transaction made. This will be particularly bene-ficial in student accounts. Everyone at Bethel will benefit from the system in some way, directly or in-directly. More information is available faster than ever before. For example, class lists are now avail-able within hours of the last registration transac-tion. Does all of this easy-to-obtain information pose a threat to the privacy of students? All roster infor-mation is stored in the computer, but, according to Harder, "personal infor-mation is not available to just anyone, only to auth-orized personnel. The secur-ity system is very elabo-rate." Authorized person-nel are assigned a pass-word, and this is the "key" to the system. In addition, departments are restricted only to information that is related to their work. Harder also emphasized that the new computer is intended to increase effi-ciency, reduce lines and save money, but not elim-inate people. "There are still things people can do faster, easier and better than machines." Bethel employees can be easily trained to run the terminals. "The people as-pect is important," said Harder. "We have tried to make operation of the ter-minal as easy as possible. We want acceptance of the system made as easy as possible." and craziness happens again at Bethel College Oct. 13-18. Monday is fif-ties day, Tuesday is West-ern day, Wednesday is hat day, Thursday is nerd day, and Friday is Royal dress-up day. Thursday night is the first-time-ever homecom-ing bonfire, a time of just sitting around and singing songs. Carnations for your sweetheart, friend, acquain-tance, stranger and/or ene-my will be sold on Friday by the post office. Friday night Steve Camp comes with his full back-up band for a concert. Camp has two albums on the market and is quickly becoming recognized among Christians. John Mogck, one of Bethel's own stock, is the warm-up ar-tist. Tickets cost $3.50 in advance and $4 at the door. Saturday morning the women get their once-a-year opportunity to take out their pent-up aggres-sion at the Powder Puff Football game. To make it look legal, coaches, offi-cials and an ambulance will be provided. Again, as in previous years, the contest is the freshmen/sophomores against the juniors/seniors. Last year the upperclass-men won and would like to claim the title as victors again. Monday and Tuesday juniors nominate the home-coming host and hostess. Nominees will be an-nounced Wednesday. Soph-omores, juniors, and sen-iors will then vote for one of the nominees for host and one for hostess. Saturday the football team plays Macalester at the first homecoming game with the Royals new stands, to hold the hun-dreds of alumni that come for the weekend. Curt Fauth, director of alumni, planned many ac-tivities for the alumni, in-cluding a banquet Satur-day night.

Kicker Royal Investors includes about 300 people who give generous amounts of mon-ey to Bethel on a _regular basis. The money these people give is unrestricted, going where it is the most needed, rather than to a specific area. These unspecified mon-ies go into Bethel's annual, or current, fund which pays for heat, light, salar-ies and all the other ex-penses involved in running the school. Bethel is operated on gifts from many sources besides the Royal Inves-tors. John Sahlin, director of development in Public Affairs, summarized the program this way: "All peo-ple who give to Bethel are Futurist Earl C. Joseph of Sperry Univac will ad-dress two convocation cha-pels Monday and Tuesday Oct. 6 and 7. He will focus on the questions: When you graduate, will a ma-chine do your job? and Is today's technology leading our society toward George Orwell's "1984"? These convocations are not Royal Investors, but they can be, if they pledge a certain amount at least $15 monthly or $180 a year. Most give much more. The point is—that they give on a regular, contin-uing basis and that their gifts are undesignated, in other words, for the cur-rent fund." The Royal Investors re-sembles most fund-raising programs, "It is primarily an acknowledgment and incentive program for those who support Bethel in a regular way," said to Har-vey DeVries, president of the Bethel Development Foundation. Bethel provides acknow-ledgment and incentive by giving all members a mem-bership card, sending them informative literature on the college and seminary partially supported by the Sperry and Hutchinson Foundation, of S & H Green Stamp fame. Joseph, who has been with Sperry Univac since 1951, began researching the future when he was appointed staff consultant/- scientist-futurist in 1963. and admitting them free to some programs and athle-tic events. As a fund-raising pro-gram, the Royal Investors are successful and neces-sary to Bethel's support system. The consensus among those interviewed was that the Royals In-vestors contribute substan-tially to Bethel's $1.6 mil-lion average annual goal. Last year, 1979-80, the in-vestors alone contributed $250,000. The group began around 1959 by five individuals pooling their resources to form the Bethel Investment Corporation. The purposes of the corporation was to initiate Bethel's relocation to the present campus. The program has expanded and evolved into its present "giving club" format. He advises management on future technology, de-sign, impact, application, societal effects and alter-native futures for society. Besides holding three com-puter patents, Joseph is system architect of five major computer systems, co-author of 20 books and author of 100 papers. He is founder, past president and current director of the Minnesota Futurists or-ganization, and editor of the magazine "Future Trends." by Leann M. Kicker Student Senate approved a motion Tuesday to have the garage sale of items the clean-up crews Sound this summer when clean-ing out the student resi-dences. Monies collected from the sale .will be app-lied to construction of a ramp for the handicapped to enter the campus. Todd Magnuson, senior senator, reported that the ramp will cost $450. Some funds have already been appropriated so any addi-tional money will be used for additional improve-ments on campus for han-dicapped people.

Sherri Rheingold, the stu-dent representative to the on-site committee reported the committee's discussion of finding a new home for the clipped geese. Five years ago, 20 clipped Canadian geese were plac-ed in Lake Valentine be-cause the species was on the verge of extinction. The lake was a desig-nated wildlife preserve. Since then the flock has grown to over 200. The geese are now beginning to endanger the ecosystem of the lake and tend to make a mess on campus, according to Rheingold's report. When a home is found for the clipped geese, the bubbler to keep the lake thawed will be removed. The hope is that this will encourage the flock to find a new home.

Joseph of Sperry Univac, convocation speaker Oct. 6 and 7 (photo courtesy Bethel publicity office). Joseph speaks on future concerns The kingdom of the wide gate is deceiving The kingdom of the wide gate is like a massive glacier that crawls down a valley slower than the eye can measure. As it progresses it carries every tree and rock off the surface until it finally fills the entire valley. The kingdom of the wide gate is like this. A young girl developed a craving for foods with sugar partly because her parents gave her sweets for good behavior and partly because she reveled in sneaking cookies and chocolates which her parents forbade her to eat. From year to year her craving was fostered, yet equally so were the cavities that spread in her teeth. Neither her parents,nor she herself knew of these cavities until a decade later when her mouth pained to even chew on a chocolate chip. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a company of ants floating down a very slow river on some styrofoam. In relation to all the driftwood and debris that floated along with them, the ants perceived everything as stationary. But in relation to the turtle observing them from the shore, the ants and all else adrift were heading downstream towards the waterfall. The kingdom of the wide gate can be compared to an audience watching a movie in a theatre. During the film the phrases `Eat Popcorn' and 'Drink CocaCola' were flashed on the screen so rapidly that nobody consciously saw it. And during inter-mission nearly everyone went out to the lobby and bought refreshments until all the food and drinks ran out. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a group of children who constructed a variety of sand castles along the sea shore. Some built tall ones; others built long ones. Some castles had moats while others had sea shells for decoration. But soon the high tide came in and washed over all the castles, leveling them as if they were never built. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a mother making gingerbread people. All the dough that doesn't fit into the mold is gathered into a ball and rolled out flat for more people. And when the dough is not enough for the mold the mother eats it raw. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a man who worked on a hundred-piece jigsaw puzzle in order to glue the picture into a frame and preserve it. Every piece was sought out and fitted into its proper place. In due time the puzzle was completed except one piece was missing. As he searched high and low, the lost piece increas-ingly provoked much irritation in him. Finally, he gave up and appeased his anger by throwing out the other ninety-nine pieces in the garbage. The kingdom of the wide gate is similar to a large school of small fish in the ocean. By swimming close together they create the appearance of being unapproachable, hence discouraging potential predators. The fish that wanders or fails to keep up with the school falls prey for any hungry attackers. But the fish that concentrates on swimming in unison with the others maintains his own safety. The kingdom of the wide gate is like a box of rubber bands wherein every member enjoys the relaxed company of his box. And yet each rubber band dreads the way he might be chosen for some purpose. Strive to enter the kingdom by the wide gate, for the way is easy....

Page 6 Speech/Communication offers job versatility Forensics flourish at ISU tournament by Debbie Anderson So you think that speech communication majors are destined to give speeches the rest of their lives? Not true, according to several speakers at the Speech As-sociation of Minnesota speech convention. The con-vention, held Friday and Saturday at the College of St. Catherine, covered many topics, from the role of communication in dys-functional families to thea-ter dance in high schools and colleges. Two of the sessions were especially designed for un-dergraduates. They fo-cused on the topic, "What can speech communication graduates do?" Bob Nel-son, a graduate of Maca-lester College and current-ly employed at Northwes-tern Banks, said that a speech communication ma-jor is actually the best ma-jor to have because of its versatility. David Lee, assistant pro-fessor and chairman of the speech communication de-partment at Bethel, said that this is especially im-portant because 80 per cent of the jobs as we know them today will not exist in five years. Tom Netherton, nation-ally known singer with the Lawrence Welk Show, will appear at the Jesus People Church, 805 Hen-nepin Avenue in Minnea-polis, on Saturday, Oct. 11 for two benefit concerts sponsored by the Greater Minneapolis Association of Evangelicals (GMAE). Concert times are 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and tickets cost $6.00 for the evening concert. Senior ci- TwO recent Bethel grad-uates were also on the pro-gram. Scott Larson, a 1980 graduate, spoke on job al-ternatives. Denise (Han-sen) Oie, a 1980 graduate, spoke on skills that are needed on the job. Other speakers gave tips on how to look for a job, ideas for interviews and suggestions for job preparation. Several Bethel students attended the convention. Many left encouraged about job prospects. One student said, "I'm glad I went to the convention. It made me excited about look-ing for a job." by Ginger Hope Amateur linguists at Be-thel want something more than what they learn in the classroom about their field. They want to talk about new developments and opportunities in lin-guistics. And they want to get to know each other.

The Bethel representatives who traveled to Iowa State Uni-versity last weekend in-cluded: Mike Wiseman, sophomore; Beth Neufeld, freshman; and Teresa Eli-ason, senior. Wiseman reached the fi-nal round in extempora-neous speaking. Neufeld she observed while she was in the Philippines for SMP (Student Missionary Project) this summer. Dan Johnson told about the linguistics course he took at the Wycliff Sum-mer Institute of Linguis-tics, held at the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks. achieved semi-final status in impromptu. Rohler said that the "results indicate a fine effort," considering the short amount of time they had to prepare. In addi-tion, Neufeld and Eliason had not previously com-peted in their categories. Rohler said that Bet hel is fortunate to have Neu-feld. Last summer she corn-. pet ed in the high school national speech competi-tion. Several other schools tried to recruit her. Rohler invites anyone in-terested in speech compe-tition, both experienced and beginners, to coach-ing sessions every Tues, day and Thursday at 3:40 p.m. in AC 331. "We want students to learn new areas of communication," he said. North Dakota Slate Uni-iversity is the site for next weekend's tournament. speakers, Bethel faculty and each other. During a meeting they may hear a linguist tell about his new computerized version of the Greek New Testament, or hear from a classmate about available summer linguistics programs. At its first meeting of this year, Sunday, Sept. 21, the group heard from three students about their various linguistics-orient-ed experiences of this sum-mer. Lois "0-i" Malcolm told about her job as an apprentice at the Toronto Institute of Linguistics, where she helped train mis-sionaries to learn new lan-guages more quickly and easily. Kathi Erickson shared with the group about the linguistic characteristics Tom Netherton performs for Jesus People Church Linguistics `LING' with faculty, peers Non-study skills uncovered by government studies by Laura Phillips "Recent government studies now conclusively show that studying drastically improves college students' non-studying skills." I read this with mixed emotions. Being a college student, I was understandably excited to discover myself so personally identified in print. However, skepticism also crept into my well-trained mind upon reading the words, "government studies now conclusively show..." After all, government studies have conclOsively shown leisure suits may cause cancer in mice, and landslides can be hazardous to your health. So what? I read on. "Long suspected of occuring, this improvement of non-study skills was recently uncovered at Bethel College in Arden Hills, Some important findings fol-low. "While 'studying' in the LRC's quiet study area, it was found that the average student becomes extremely adept at: —sleeping —manicuring his/er nails using only teeth and a Bic pen —accurately guessing how many para-graphs a nearby student highlights over a 23 -minute period —eating crinkly-wrapped candy noise-lessly —deciphering film soundtracks coming through the concrete-block wall of the adjoining classroom —slouching —tying and untying his/er shoelaces with-out using hands. "While 'studying' in the LRC next to a window, the average student easily masters the skills of: —sleeping —counting clouds —determining the rug's fiber content —reading book titles eight stacks down —counting leaves on a mature oak tree —depending on the sun's position, mak-ing handmade miniature sundials out of notebook paper —estimating the velocities of passing cars and joggers —composing variations on the theme 'The Fluorescent Light Buzz.' "While 'studying' in Doc's Corner, the average student effortlessly conquers the skills of: —sleeping —adding mustaches and/or beards to all faces in textbook pictures (this skill is somewhat rare due to the appalling scarc-ity of pictures in college textbooks) —people-watching —talking —determining by smell alone the chemi-cal compositions of concoctions occuring in the adjacent chemistry labs —gaining weight (due to cookie intake) —becoming addicted to-coffee." Further studies also show that "studying" in dorms and/or apartments radically alters students' personal-ities. The article continued, but I had decided to test the government's findings and conduct a small-scale study on my own: I would go to the LRC, "study," and record my results. The next day, staggering under a small mountain of philosophy and business textbooks, I laid claim to a quiet study area carrell. Upon opening the first text-book in the mortuary-like silence, strange things began to happen: —I found myself tracing every conceiv-able woodgrain pattern in the carrell I could find. —I wrote my mother a long letter (this may not seem strange, except I am a com-muter). —I tried writing "This carrell is reserved for quite study" in 12 languages (this took some time as I only know one and a half languages). —I fell asleep.

Extended coffee shop hours. - "In an effort to alleviate unnecessary socializing in • the library," the coffee shop began to stay open in the evenings, from 7 p.m. by Annette Loeks Growth has caused the Bethel's Theatre Arts de-partment to add new cur-riculum, restructuring classes to give students a more intense and in-depth study. "Our department is ma-turing," said Doug Briggs, chairman. "We've made the big step and we're going to try to stand on our own and compete with other schools of our size, both secular and Christian." In past years the depart-ment has had many begin-ning level classes, but in-sufficient upper level courses. This prompted the decision to revise the cur-riculum. Students wishing to fill a creativity requirement now have creative perfor-mance which is open only to 10 p.m. After ten years, however, the effects of the policy have proven negli-gible: library socializing in 1980 is still a highly communicable disease. New Curriculum. Ever wonder how those Iwo letters become at-tached to some of the course numbers at Bethel? Ten years ago the current curriculum of concern-oriented and discipline-oriented courses was pre-sented before the faculty. The curriculum commit-t ee had been meeting weekly for, two years, and prior to tha,t meet-ings involved discussions on the curriculum. . One of the committee's foremost conclusions was that the studePt "has learned ways to cope with life...and comes to us with common human concerns. It is these concerns with which the new curriculum attempts to deal." The new curriculum saw both the teacher and student as holding these common concerns, with the difference that the teacher had more years of experience behind him. to non-theatre concentra-tors. Creative performance in-troduces students to dif-terpretation, radio and tele-vision. Non-concentrators like the addition of the crea-tive performance course. Karin Christensen, present-ly enrolled in the class, said, "It is nice not to have theatre concentrators in creative performance. I don't have to feel intimi-dated by the people who specialize in theatre." Theatre in the church is another new arrival. This is a practically-oriented class dealing with drama in the church. The Christian in thea-tre, a new upper level course, discusses Christian ethics and theology while integrating it with theatre practice and aesthetics. see page 9 Larson from page 10 MissionarieS, said Larson, should be building bridges • between walls. "The great-est thing that the SMP experience could offer to a young person is the oppor-tunity to go out and learn from somebody whom his culture has told him to look down on," he said. Larson plans to use many of his experiences and findings in two books that he is writing: "Bare-foot Approach to Language Learning" and "Bi-Pass-ing." What is needed is orien-tation programs that can somehow teach attitudes, said Larson. Missionaries must not criticize and separate themselves from the culture, but they must adopt the culture's way of life and actually become a part of it.

It is not the creature from Lake Valen-tine, but Bethel's own cam-pus ministries office, lo-cated in LRC 326. Curt Hansen coordinates Student Outreach, an arm of the office that deals with activities related to church-es and Christian organiza-tions. He helps interested people become involved in youth ministry within churches, teaching Sunday school or leading music. He is the touchstone on campus for organizations such as Campus Crusade, which is involved with evangelism training, and Inter-Varsity, which has turned its Bethel focus towards discipleship and small groups. The Baptist Student Union organization which began last year, and out-reach programs such as Campus Life and Lovelines also keep in contact with Hansen for possible stu-dents for their staffs. Hansen is also involved with Student Missionary Project, which gives Be-thel students a chance to explore missions on a short-term basis. He went on this program himself to the Philippines this summer. Another arm stretching in a different direction is that of social ministries. Suzie Tjernland coordin-ates this. The ministry in-volves aiding the handi-capped, volunteering at rest homes, working with refugees and the Big Bro-by Ginny Olson Ask 235 people what makes a good chapel ser-vice and there will be 235 different answers. Dave Horn, assistant campus pastor, is developing cha-pel programs with a diver-sity to meet some of stu-dents varied needs and in-terests. There will be issues dir-ected at students' prob-lems such as a talk by Dr. Art Lewis; biblical studies professor, on "dating." Wed-nesdays have been design-ed to be a more formal type of worship service. Lee Eliason, campus pas-tor while Jim Spickelmier is on sabbatical, and Dr. Bruce Leafblad from the music department, led the community in various forms of worshiping God. Horn has also attemp-ted to use the services of such familiar names as Jill Briscoe, Josh McDowell, John White, Madeline L'En-gle, Arthur Holmes, Tony Campolo, Dawson MacAl-lister, John Perkins and Ken Medema. Horn has approximately $4,000 to work with for the year. This pays for honorariums, travel and lodging for speakers plus additional chapel costs. Horn also looks forward to chapels that tap the creative potential of this community: various stu-dent and faculty chapels; departmental chapels, in-cluding the art, music and drama departments; and various multi-media pre-sentations. This year he wants to get away from just speaker-oriente chapels. Although Horn does the chapel programming, he receives suggestions from the chapel and spiritual life committee. He also en-courages suggestions from the students and faculty. While chapel programs are designed to be atten-tion- getting, entertainment is not their goal. Horn feels that if there is something challenging or thought-pro-voking, people will be there. "I'm excited about this year and the tone that's on campus," Horn said. He sees chapel as having a significant role in the com-munity. He also stressed that chapel attendance is expected. "I think we need to re-evaluate the word 'expected.' Students have a responsibility. Whether or not chapel is entertain-ing is besides the point." by Roger Smolik "It is unusal for a Chris-tian college to have an Inter- Varsity chapter," admitted senior Gwen Knight, and that makes Bethel's Inter- Varsity chapter unique. Knight, small group Bible study leader, said that In-ter- Varsity provides an op-portunity for meaningful fellowship by encouraging small group interaction "Bible studies are a ba-sic need for all individual Christians,Thdded Knight, "and the ideal situation is to have the body congre-gate in small groups." Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) is an inter-denominational, stu-dent- run organization pro-moting missions, evange-lism and discipleship. A national organization, IVCF is affiliated with the world-wide International Fellow- During times of perse-cution Christians descend-ed to the catacombs for refuge. Some would spend days, weeks or .even the remainder of their lives in the catacombs. Inside the catacombs today one can still find the altar areas where people gathered. Un-doubtedly, those who sought refuge came togeth-er to sing praises and en-courage one another. Using the ancient COM') experience as an anal-ogy, there is a CreAVe, student-run worship ser-vice at Bethel that, in a similar way, attempts to fulfill the needs of this Christian community. Many times we take for granted our privilege to worship as we please and when we please. We too suffer through hardship and persecution in our every-clay lives. When studies, roommates, and our own personal rela lion-ship with Jesus Christ are getting its down, the Cata-combs worship experience provides a refuge for our tired minds and heavy hearts. ship of Evangelical Stu-dents. The purpose of the small groups is to provide not only a Bible study and prayer time' but to also instill a conscious sense of worship, missions and com-munity within the groups. So far this fall the popu-larity of the small group Bible studies has been so great that these "small groups" have had a diffi-cult time maintaining their minuteness. However, this is not being perceived as a catastrophe, as the enthu-siasm only promotes the quality of fellowship at Bethel. In addition to holding daily Bible studies and en-couraging the use of prayer partners, Inter-Varsity is interested in providing Bi-ble study materials to any other small groups that would care to use them.

Senior Bonnie Goding spent the summer working in Narimasu, Japan for SMP. Page 9 Summer SMPers weigh attitudes, babies, culture by Naomi Ludeman Bonnie Goding, senior, learned a lotabout faith as one of 36 students sent out under the Student Mission-ary Project (SMP) last summer. One afternoon she found herself lost, be-wildered and against many odds. She had to choose a train to board out of approximately a hun-dred to take her to her des-tination. She could not speak the language to ask for help. All she could do was believe that God would guide her to the right train. "By a miracle," she said, she arrived safety in Nari-masu, Tokyo, Japan, where she taught conversational English and led Bible stud-ies in a Christian church. Besides adjusting to the domestic cultural habits of Japan she had to deal with a different way of thinking and of dealing with conflict. "In Japan the group is more important than the individual," she said. "When solving a conflict, everyone's suggestions are used with total considera-tion to make the final deci-sion. Voicing honest per-sonal opinions is not ex-pected. An individual iden-tity does not exist apart from the group. I learned to be more patient and put myself in their shoes." Goding recognized many of her own hidden cultural patterns and often ques-tioned whether they truly represented Christianity. "What cultural things in the American church does God put up with in order to accomplish His greater purpose?" she asked. Goding holds the same positive feelings about mis-sions she had before she left. She believes she would have a ministry whe-ther she remained in the United States or-traveled abroad. "If the Lord calls me, I will most definitely go anywhere," she said. "The most urgent thing I would tell the Bethel fam-ily is that God is faithful. He has walked the way before us. We can go into anything and be conquer-ors," she emphasized. Ginny Olson, junior, spent her summer in Ken-ya, Africa, with the help of SMP. Her work involved weighing babies for health clinics, typing business sta-tistics for the Kijabe Med-ical Centre and teaching English and Sunday school. "Just because I was do-ing an obvious task for the Lord did not mean I was a super-saint. I hit the same rain clouds in Kenya as I do here." Olson's expectations of herself for the summer lev-eled to reality once she started her work in Ken-ya. "I thought I would make a big impact and that I was doing something spe-cial. I was humbled in see-ing myself as just one of many of the Lord's work-ers," she said. It was a great summer, but not all fun. She be-came frustrated with her job and the people around her. "I got caught up in the same trivial things there as I can be caught in at home," Olson said. She made friends with the peo-ple with whom she lived and worked, but she also felt alone at times. She said through the summer "God has become my best friend. Wherever I am, He is. He is not tied by physical boun-daries." Two years ago Olson did not think missions was for her. She heard that if you are not open to any-where God wants you to be than you are not totally His. The Lord began to change her attitude. Doors started to open for the pos-sibilities of a missionary experience through SMP. After attending Urbana '79 her desire grew, so she applied to SMP. "Now I feel that our prayer should not be whether we are called to go but whether we are called to stay!" she said. On the opposite side of Africa another Bethel stu-dent served through SMP, junior Mark Whittemore. Before going to Africa, Whittemore thought of him-self as a spectator of mis-sions rather than an ac-tual worker. His exper-ience in the Benin Repub-lic was just the opposite. By day he was a fix-it man, maintenance man and carpenter. He learned to create make-shift equip-ment out of available ma-terials. By night he taught Bible and English studies and had prayer with the Chris-tian nationals. The Benin Republic has an unstable government. The present government has controlled the Repub-lic for only seven .years. The fact that political change could take place any time unsettled Whit-temore some. He also fear-ed the nationals' reactions to him as a white man. The most pertinent les-son Whittemore learned was the meaning of the phrase "by prayer." He was away from the people he knew and loved best. "It was just the Lord and me," he said. Yet by prayer he experienced peace. He said he developed an "unyield-ing confidence in the Lord no matter what the circum-stance." We also experienced the reality of the bridge of prayer. Knowing that peo-ple prayed for him en-couraged and comforted him. He wants to encour-age everyone to pray for and write to specific mis-sionaries. Whittemore was sur-prised to learn that "mis-sionaries are real people." They have anxieties. A night for fun and a game of Yahtzee was a common sight. They appreciate ma-terial things too, he said. Whittemore urged the Be- Theatre department from page 7 Changes have also been made in theatre practicum, the department's senior sem-i na r. Projects are designed by the individual and ap-proved by the faculty. Prd-jects can include design-ing lights or costumes for a play, writing and per-forming a play or doing a type of senior recital with different types of drama-tic pieces or oral interpre-tations. Daniel Runion, a senior theatre concentrator, said, "It is exciting to see the changes. It offers those in the theatre arts program and those coming into the program an opportunity thel family not to "hesitate because you feel unquali-fied or because of finances. The Lord needs availabil-ity more than ability." These are only three of the thirty-six students sup-ported by the prayer and finances of many last sum-mer. All are eager to talk about their enriching sum-mers. Students interested in SMP may contact the campus ministries office. for a more intense and serious study." These changes will cause lower enrollment for upper level courses but will strenghten the department for theatre concentrators. It will give concentrators a chance to excel in their classes because all the stu-dents will be advanced and more serious about the sub-ject. "It is distinctive to have a theatre arts program at a Christian school," said Briggs. "We hope to draw more theatre concentrators as freshman because of our changes."

Page 10 Welcome Week: new light to old ideas by Shari Goddard Dr. Alfred Glenn used fifteen years of his "Theol-ogy One" class as a cruci-ble for his book, "Taking Your Faith to Work." In short, easy-to-read sec-tions, Glenn attempts to supply solid theological an-swers for important ques-tions of applied faith. In each doctrinal study, Glenn writes in a refresh-ingly simple style that brings theological jargon into firm, easily under-standable language. His to-pics of exploration include: the essence of Christian faith, the Church, worship, Sunday, work, politics, marriage, death, the self, Spiritual gifts, authority and mystery. In his preface, Glenn ex-plains that one of his goals was to "correct misunder-standings that are frequent-ly held by evangelicals ... every topic in this book touches on evangelical mis-understandings that are ei-ther contrary to Scripture, or simply inadequate inter-pretations of Scripture." Though the sections are not meant to be fully devel-oped statements of sys-tematic theology, the thoughtful development of each subject brings into perspective complex issues of faith in a modern world. While he attempts to an-swer many questions, Glenn is also careful to leave the reader with some unanswered. Each section A public forum on the U.S.-Iran crisis will be held on October 10th and 11th. The Friday session features speakers Luzette Graves, daughter of an American hostage and Tom Ricks, professor of Iranian history at George-town University who visit-ed Iran in July. They will give a public address on Friday, Oct. 10, 7:30 p.m. at Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Ave., Min-neapolis. Saturday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Min-nesota Church Center, 122 W. Franklin, Minneapolis, by Sue Fahrenkamp This year's Welcome Week program was dif-ferent from other years at Bethel College, a difference attributed to new leader-ship, both among students and administration. The student leaders of the 1980 Welcome Week staff, Tammy Carlson and Gregg Heinsch, both sen-iors, began their work in January 1980. Their task, co-ordinating Welcome Week, was completed this fall when the new fresh-men and transfer students were oriented to Bethel. Carlson and Heinsch be-gan by determining goals and philosophies for the 1980 Welcome Week. The new emphasis this year was not merely on academics. Rather, the em-ends with questions for discussion. Glenn lists Scripture pas-sages in full if their use is especially essential to an argument, but he encour-ages looking up many of the references for the rea-der's own benefit. The twelve separate sec-tions make this an excel-lent choice for group or class study. The topical arrangement also lends it good form for use as a per-sonal reference. It is hoped that another fifteen years need not pass for the cru-cible of the classroom to help Glenn pull another vibrant work from the fire. a series of workshops will be held on such topics as Iran and the media, the role of Islam and the his-tory of U.S.-Iranian rela-tions. A film and slide-show will also be shown. Suggested donation is $2 for each day. Bring your own lunch or call in reser-vations for a prepared lunch.

According to Carlson, "Welcome Week was to show that being a Christian was not some-thing outside of academ-ics. It is integrated with social and spiritual growth as well." Choosing participants for the 1980 Welcome Week Staff was the next step for the coordinators. Auditions were held last March. Out of 150 applicants, 48 were chosen on the basis of how they would fit into the goals of the program. No returning staff member was allowed to come back without audition. This year's theme verse was Psalms 126:3, "The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad." The staff members served the new students out of the joy that God has given them. Carlson and Heinsch picked a staff that would reach out to other people. When talking about the selection of participants, Carlson said, "We spent a lot of time in prayer." Preparing spiritually played a big role in this year's Welcome Week. The staff prayed a lot, espe-cially in times of need. by Debra Anderson A sabbatical does not mean a vacation, at least not for Don Larson, pro-fessor of linguistics and anthropology. Larson was in Southeast Asia from April 6 to May 6 this past spring, researching and as-sisting missionary orien-ta lion programs. His task was to help missionaries who were having trouble adapting to the culture and language of the country. Larson spent most of his time in Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand and Bangladesh. A "typical" clay began at 6:30 a.m. when he was picked up to go to the home of a missionary to discuss their problems in language learning. At 8 a.m. he went to a language school to meet with the director and teach-ers. He visited classes and exchanged questions and answers with both teach- "We're praying because it works, not because it's the thing to do," said Heinsch. A new and different high-light was a communion service last May when all the planning was done, per-formed by an off-campus pastor. The spiritual em-phasis helped unite the staff. Carlson and Heinsch ac-credit the new and differ-ent organization of Wel-come Week to the new dean of men, Charles Retts. Both the leaders agreed ,* ers and students. He usually spent lunch with a committee that wanted to discuss mission-ary issues. By 2:30 p.m. he was at a teacher's home discussing more topics concerning language learning. • Later in the afternoon he met with students. 6:30 was suppertime, fol-lowed by an informal meet-ing with missionary lead-ers. When everyone left and Larson was alone, Lar-son said he pulled out his notes and tape recorder so that when he returned home he "wouldn't get to-day confused with tomor-row." Larson left Southeast Asia with a deeper reali-zation that missionaries should be more socially and culturally prepared to go into the mission field. He cited one case of a missionary who, after three years, had not yet learned the language of the Asian country he was that Retts was a positive influence. Said Heinsch, "Charlie gave. us a new enthusiasm. He gave a new light to old ideas." Retts stressed the need for proper organization and communication. These two elements were very important because Wel-come Week involved eve-ryone in the school, not just 48 staff members. Retts attended almost all the functions of . Welcome Week, and really became one of the staff. 41, in. After probing and ques-tioning, Larson discovered that this missionary had been stationed in this same Asian country while he was in the United States Army. During the service, the man develop-ed a resentment against t he people of the country. Thirteen years later these feelings were still simmer-ing, making him ineffec-tive as a missionary, said Larson. He said that this was just one example of how walls are built between people. All too often mis-sionary candidates are "unable, unwilling and un-ready to learn from people their own culture has taught them to look down on." Instead of having a su-perior attitude, missionar-ies should be learners, striv-ing to live side-by-side with people from that country. see page 7 Glenn produces 'vibrant work' Forum to address U.S. Iran crisis Don Larson resumes teaching responsibilities after a one-semester sabbatical. Sabbatical material bound for publication Page 11 Royals top Hamline, tie Gustavus by T.J. Johnson The soccer team is still going about its winning ways this week with a 2-0 victory over Hamline on Wednesday and a 0-0 tie on Saturday. In both games Royals dominated play most of the game. The Saturday game against Gustavus was the biggest game of the year so far. They went ready to play. They wanted a win and proved it with great defense by Andy Larson who has really taken con-trol of that aspect of the game along with Steve Fi-gini, Jeff Krause, Doug Bar-key and especially goalie Bo Cedersjo, who has now 3 scoreless games to his credit. This defense has only let in one goal - in the last three games. The coach said Greg "Zig-gy" Held played super on offense, getting off many shots. He also said the soccer team has really come around the corner and is going to be one of the top teams. By the end of the year they are going to have to come to us. The J.V. team is really starting to come around. On Saturday they had a 1-1 tie with the Gushes J.V., with a goal - being scored by freshman Dave Anderson. If they would have pulled out the first game, Mark Leigh thinks we would have won the second game too. "It was an excellent game both ways. They played well too and I'm pleased with the results," said Leigh. The Wednesday game was a different story. The team started out slow and tired but finished out on top with goals by Steve "William" Figini and Joel "Edman" Kraakevic with assists from Capt. Jon Fredrickson, senior. Halfbacks Kraakevic, Neil Kaiser and Mark Koerner, the silent work-horse, played exceptional soccer in the Wednesday game. Cedersjo earned the 2-0 shutout after an excellent game with help from jun-ior Andy Larson. The team would has a five game homestand start-ing Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 4 p.m. against Bethany Lu-theran College.

"We're try-ing to open up more things for more students instead of concentrating on just the big things," explains Phil Almeroth, intramural director. Other additions include men's volleyball, a cross-country meet, a back-gammon tournament, a cross-country ski race and a track meet. The student directors of the intramural program this year are Leslie Smith and Phil Almeroth. Smith, junior, has a physical ed-ucation concentration. She will be in charge of all women's events. Almeroth also a junior, has a busi-ness concentration. George Palke, assistant professor in physical edu-cation and basketball coach, is the faculty advi-sor for the program. Bob Giddings, Bob Gerr, Shei-la Kroon and Brad Nau-man will serve as events supervisors. Faculty, staff and any students taking at least one class are eligible to participate. Students on a varsity or junior varsity team cannot participate in that intramural sport. There will be five days in advance of each activity to sign up. Almeroth em-phasizes that they will be strict on the deadlines, al-lowing no exceptions. Fees will be charged for some of the large team events, and following the tournaments individual and team champions will receive a certificate. Win-ners in each of the sports can also purchase T-shirts. Almeroth states that sign-up sheets for reserv-ing racquetball courts are at the intramural office, PE 221, Friday mornings at 7:30. Reservations are the following Monday through Saturday. The intramural depart-ment will open the gym from 8:15-10:15 on week-day nights, 9-4 p.m. on Saturdays and 2-4 p.m.on Sundays for anyone who wishes to use the facil-ities. The department has ath-letic equipment which stu-dents and faculty may check out with a valid ID card. Items available in-clude basketballs, canoes, tennis racquets, ski equip-ment and volleyball equip-ment. Some items require a rental fee. Further information can be found in the intramural handbook containing all eligibility rules, sports rules, rental fees and pre-vious standings.

They took on the highly-ranked UW-River Falls Falcons and found out what a good football team can really do. The Falcons big-play offense was too much for the Royals who lost 51-15.

Bethel Head Coach Dud Lutton attributed the Fal-con's domination to con-fusion on the part of the Bethel defense. "They used some alignments and for-mations that we were not prepared for. When they used a basic offense, we were able to stay with them. But when they used a different offense in the second half, we had some problems with it." Coach Lutton was pleased with Doten's pass-ing and the receiving of Graves, Cooper, Kramka and Frank Sanza. "Offen-sively, Steve Doten did some good things for us, and our receivers also did a very good job. Also, our offensive line was much-improved in their pass blocking. Our major goal this year is to get the struc-ture of our program into effect. Further down, as our program grows, we will be able to compete with teams like (River Falls)." When asked if the quar-terback changes made in the last two weeks are permanent, Lutton said "No, but we're working on it." Men's Cross Country- Carleton Inv.
