Bethel parking: a problem for all
by Jill Johnson
The perpetual parking
problem has arisen again
this fall to haunt both the
administration and Foun-tain
Terrace and Silver-crest
residents. The prob-lem
is simple—too many
cars and too few spaces.
The solution is much more
complicated.
As the parking lots at
the apartments quickly fill,
garage space is offered for
a yearly rental fee of $180
at both complexes. At
Silvercrest, all of the 14
available garages have al-ready
been rented, accord-ing
to Greg Hamann, dir-by
Naomi Ludeman
"On belay?"
"Belay on."
"Climbing?"
"Climb on."
These are familiar corn-ector
of residence man-agement.
Illegal parking
in the fire lane has result-ed
from crowded condi-tions.
Garage space is still
available to Fountain Ter-race
residents. Hamann re-ports
30 of the 39 available
garages are not being used.
The rental charge appears
to be the cause of the lack
of renters.

The rental charge appears

However, all of the gar-ages
were used last year
at the same price, accord-ing
to Hamann. "There's a
whole different attitude
this year," Hamann said.
"Money is just a lot tight-er."
Numerous alternatives
have been proposed only
to be rejected due to var-ious
city ordinances. Tear-ing
down the garages,
paving more of the lawns
and parking on the street
are all options prohibited
by city laws.
Presently, the most
promising possibility lies
in a reappraisal of the
rental fee, Hamann said.
However, this is a major
decision involving a rework-ing
of the budget and could
not be accomplished quick-ly.
-
Meanwhile, Hamann
urges students to be cour-teous
in their use of the
parking lots. He suggests
leaving the car at home or
on campus if it.will not be
used for extended periods
of time.
"We observed cars last
winter and found some
that sat for weeks without
being moved," Hamann

Thoughts slip out of focus. Fine tuning brings them
back into view. But now the perspective is wrong. The
brain tries to clarify, organize and relate. Then values
seem to differentiate into contradictions on a con-tinuum.
Sorting out values if often part of sorting out the mail.
The mailbox is full of press releases of worthwhile
organizations desiring financial or other support. What
is thrown away? What is saved? Should this be sup-ported?
Or this? Is it right to publicize this... and now
that? Are these two compatible within a Christian
framework?
There are plenty of worthwhile causes out there.
Infant Formula Actoin Coalition (INFACT) and Inter-national
Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) are only two.
But is it consistent to support animal conservation
groups and simultaneously support human welfare
groups? Is it legitimate to support those who help tor-tured
seals when people are starving in the U.S. and the
world?
Every agency has its pet horror story to graphically
demonstrate its need. These stories, tear-jerkers, usu-ally
are factual. According to a recent INFACT press
release, 5,000 infants died of baby-bottle disease in the
U.S. last year. Even more infants died elsewhere in the
world. Last year .IFAW told of the thousands of seal
pups clubbed to death for their pelts.
Are these two agencies worth supporting? Can a
Christian in good conscience support both?
Both the human infacts and the seal pups died
because of greed. People were more concerned about
money, making a profit, than they were about the
implications of making a product. For the sake of large
profits infant formula is sold to parents who can ill
afford it and who may unintentionally kill their child-ren
with it. Also for the love of money and luxury, seal
pups are clubbed to death so pelts can be sold and made
into fancy coats and other items.
IFAW is trying to stop the slaughter of seals for more
profit just as INFACT is trying to stop the sale of Nestle
and other infant formulae for mere profit.
A Christian can simultaneously support two such
groups because the goals of the two different groups are
compatible. Both are attempting to stop exploitation for
the sake of profit. The spirits of the two organizations
are unified. Support, however, must come not only from
the wallet or checkbook, but needs to be manifested in
Christian lifestyle as well.

The first Bethel art show
of the year opened Oct. 12.
That same day a contract
was signed to fill the va-cant
position of gallery
curator. Bonita Wahl, in-structor
in art at Bethel,
accepted the position.
Until last Monday, Oct.
12, Bethel's art gallery had
been empty. The Art De-partment
had been unable

scheduled a year in ad-vance,
early shows by
Bethel artists had to be

Renaissance sounds resound in chapel and seminary
by Diane Hudson
Part of the Renaissance
musical group Musica
Antigua will be perform-ing
a lecture-demonstra-tion
in chapel Oct. 23.
Member Barbara Barker
will discuss various Ren-aissance
instruments and
Ellen Thompson will de-monstrate
them.
Musica Antigua was
formed in 1969 by a group
of musicians working in-formally
in the Twin
Cities. They pattern them-selves
after the court musi-cians
of Renaissance Eu-rope.
The entire Musica An-tigua
group will perform
Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. in the
Bethel Seminary chapel.
The ten performers will
dress in 16th century
costumes, sing solos accom-panied
by the lute and
instrument ensembles,
read Renaissance poetry,
and dance.
A variety of Renais-sance
instruments includ-ing
the entire recorder and
crumhorn families, three
sizes of viola da Gamba,
lutes and the spinetino (a
three and a half octave
harpsichord-like instru-ment)
will be featured. The
featured instruments were
all built by Bradley Ben of
Edina.
According to Oliver
Mogck, associate pro-fessor
of music at Bethel,
"'Delightful intimacy' may
be one way of describing
the music which gives lis-teners
an alternative to the
high-decibel music eman-ating
from our electronic
age."
Mogck said there has
been a tremendous revival
of interest in Renaissance
music and art both locally
and nationally. "The Bethel
community has a rare op-portunity
to hear a fine
group on Friday night," he
said.
"Musica Antigua" performs a lecture-demonstration in chapel on Oct. 23. An evening perfor-mance
at the seminary chapel is also planned.
I.V. offers unity and growth
Pep band supports Royal sports
by Anita Berg
Homecoming this year
will have an added dimen-sion:
the Bethel Pep Band.
Wearing yellow T-shirts
and cowboy hats, the
members will reveal ano-ther
facet of Bethel at home
sports events.
"The pep band really
comes down to the enthu-siasm,
activity and dedi-cation
of the members,"
said Charles Olson, con-ductor
of the Bethel Con-cert
Band. He wants stu-dents
to come to rehear-sals
prepared to work
hard, as there is limited
time for rehearsal.
A student director will
be chosen for the pep band
from three candidates, all
of whom are senior music
majors. "It adds to the
band to have it student-run,"
said Olson.
The pep band has grown
with support from the ath-letic
department. Besides
performing at the Home-coming
football game, the
band will play at the
Parents' Weekend football
game. During basketball
season the band will play
at as many home weekend
games as possible, said
Olson.
"It's really fun," said Ol-son.
"We want to make
participating in the band
fun, but we also want to
make the pep band an ac-tive,
contributing support
to the athletic teams."
Although the nucleus of
the pep band comes from
the concert band, other stu-dent
musicians interested
in participating in the pep
band are encouraged to
contact Olson. The band
rehearses at 5:30 p.m.
Tuesdays. Olson would
like to have about 50 mu-sicians
to give balance and
volume to the pep band.

Five small group Bible
studies are being offered
this year at Bethel as a
part of Inter-Varsity
Christian Fellowship
(I.V.). The studies include
"Love and Good Works,"
"The Problem of Anger,"
"Everyday •Ethics," "Faith
That Works," and "Living
Fruitfully."
"The main goal we're
working toward this year
in Inter-Varsity is to create
a feeling of unison and the
opportunity for spiritual
growth among students,"
said Mike Rowe, president
of Bethel I.V.
Technically an organi-zation
for Christian stu-dents
on secular campuses,
I.V. has been active at
Bethel only since 1978. It
was formed when several
students decided that their
present group, Student
Missions Fellowship, was
too exclusive.
"We wanted an organi-zation
on campus that
would serve the needs of
the majority of the stu-dents,"
Rowe said. "Not all
Bethel students will some-day
be on the mission field
per se," he added.
The emphasis this year
will be on the small group
Bible studies, according to
Rowe. "Our aim is to help
people feel unified, not to
promote I.V. as an organi-zation,"
he said.
The Bible studies will
be led by Bethel students
who are members of I.V.
Bethel's I.V. staff includes
Mike Rowe, president;
Paul Christenson, vice-president;
Pam Sundeen,
secretary-treasurer; and
five other students who
lead the Bible studies.
Faculty sponsor Eleanor
Edman offers advice and
support for I.V. at Bethel.
Edman is an associate pro-fessor
in nursing at Bethel
and was involved in I.V.
before coming here. John
Roesler, also an I.V. staff
person, helps students co-ordinate
activities al-though
he is not affiliated
with Bethel.
If the Bible study groups
grow in size, the I.V. staff
plans to encourage other
students within the groups
to become leaders.
Meeting times for the
Bible studies are posted
on the prayer chapel door
and on the Campus Minis-tries
bulletin board.

Tax man joins Bethel business
by Tami McQuoid
After 15 years in the tax
business, Donald H. Brown
decided it was time for
him to go back to school.
He did not return to school
as a student, however; he
returned to school as a
teacher.
Brown left a tax manag-er's
position with Peat,
Marwick, Mitchell & Co.,
a large international firm,
to teach business classes
at Bethel College.
When offered a promin-ent
position within his
firm, Brown, with Lucia
(his wife of 16 years) felt
the need to leave his high-ly
pressurized environ-ment.
"It was destroying
my family life and was
counter-productive to my
goals as a Christian," said
Brown.
About this time, he said,
the Lord led him to a
teaching position at Bethel.
Even though he has
never taught at a college
before, teaching is not
new to Brown. For the past
five years, Brown and his
wife have taught in Bible

Thursday, at 9:00 p.m.
A combination of the bon-fire
and the pep fest (it
could be just as well have
been called a pep fire) the

from cider and
doughnuts to the introduc-tion
of the 1967 Bethel

Actually, the evening's
shenanigans will begin
with a snake dance through
the campus following
which the buses will leave
for the new campus some-time
in the vicinity of 8:30
p.m. The bon-fest will
include the preliminaries
of a tug-of-war, the finals
of which are to be played
off at the Homecoming
game. The victors of the
Frosh, Sophomore duel,
and the Junior, Senior
brawl will compete for the
opportunity to take on a
crew of the alumni who
are also spoiling to get in
the fun.

Study Fellowship, a non-denominational
Bible
study for young adults,
attended by nearly 200
students.
Born and raised in Min-neapolis,
Brown has been
familiar with Bethel for
many years. His sister,
Beverly, attended Bethel
in the sixties.
Brown attended Whea-ton
College for three years,
but received his B.S. in
business from the Univer-sity
of Minnesota. He is a
member of the Minnesota
Society of CPAs and the
American Institute of
CPAs.
Apart from helping peo-ple
with their taxes, Brown
said that being out in the
woods is one of his favor-ite
pastimes. With sugges-tions
from his wife and
three children (ages 11, 8,
and 11/2), Brown designed
and built a log cabin in the
woods near Brainerd,
Minn. His cabin provides
easy access to waterski-ing
and fishing. According
to Brown, waterskiing is
a family favorite.

and development of a

said, "and I know that I
am going to learn a lot." He
views his job as a real
challenge. .
Brown especially enjoys
the relationship he has
with the faculty. The
competition that he is ac-customed
to in the busi-ness
world is not found at
Bethel. "Everyone is so
cooperative," said Brown.
Brown said he hopes
that his presence at Bethel
will help the Business
Department grow. He
wants to use his many
contacts with the business
world to make the busi-ness
student an "accepta-ble
commodity" to Twin
City businesses.
"I would like to be able
to say (about students),"
said Brown, "here is a
product that I know per-sonally
and it is a good
product. I'd like to be able
to bring that student to
businesses and have them
be so pleased with the
student that they will
want more." This, accord-ing
to Brown, should be

Tricia Brownlee, academ-ic
adminstrator.
Brownlee and Phil Bjork,
director and instructor of
Bethel's wilderness class,
plan to approach Bethel's
faculty and people outside
of Bethel for support.
"We're looking for peo-ple

To qualify for the Hei-delberg
program, a student
must be a college junior,
have a grade-point average
of at least 3.0 and have the
equivalent of two years of
college German.
Rune Engebretson, asso-:
ciate professor of foreign
languages at Bethel, co-ordinates
the program.
Engebretsen said he se-lected
the University of
Heidelberg because of its
fine foreign language
department and its status
as a highly respected Ger-man
university.
"This is the beginning of
what we hope will become
a permanent program in
Germany for Bethel stu-dents,"
said Engebretsen.
This year the total ex-pense
for the semester is
$4,150 which includes
tuition, airfare, room and
board and books. The
students are renting rooms

Bethel College recently
joined the Minnesota As-sociation
of Private Col-lege
Students (MAPCS),
an organization which
aims to pool the resources
and address the areas of
common interest of private
colleges and universities
in Minnesota. In MAPCS,
shared concerns are dealt
with on a corporate level
rather than on an individ-ual
basis.
Until recently, Bethel
was the only private insti-tution
of higher education
in Minnesota that was a
non-member. After review-ing
MAPCS, Bethel's Stu-dent
Association decided
to re-join after having
withdrawn in 1979. The
move to withdraw was
made by recommendation
of the student body presi-dent
at that time.
According to Mark Pub-low,
present student body
president, MAPCS pro-vides
the opportunity for
Bethel to expand its con-ception
of responsibility
as a Christian school, and
to better perceive its ob-jectives
as a Christian
community.
Publow also said that
the organization gives
Bethel the chance to dis-cuss
common concerns
with other area MAPCS
schools and allows Bethel
to pool resources and deal
with shared problems, is-sues
and concerns.
For example, the hous-ing
problem is an issue
common to most area pri-vate
schools. As a member
of MAPCS, Bethel can
discuss this concern and
corporately gather re-sources
and information
to solve the problems that
arise.
Lobbying is a major pol-icy
of the MAPCS both at
the state and federal lev-els
through the National
Coalition of Private Col-lege
and University Stu-dents
(COPUS).
Both MAPCS and
COPUS have been very
effective in achieving their
goals. COPUS used letter
drives and direct represen-tation
at legislative ses-sions
to reduce the finan-cial
aid cuts proposed by
President Reagan. In Min-nesota,
MAPCS effective-ly
lobbied to give priority
to the financial aid pro-grams
in the aftermath of
the national budget cuts.

A massive, shiny,
15,000-pound stainless
steel sculpture by Stu Luck-man,
associate professor
of art at Bethel, was un-veiled
Friday, Oct. 9, on
the Unversity of Minne-sota
campus.
The University of Min-nesota
Alumni Association
commissioned the art
work "Rokker V" for
$50,000 for the commemo-ration
of the Association's
75th anniversary.
At the dedication, Dr. C.
Peter Magrath, president
of the University of Min-nesota,
thanked the Alum-ni
Association and Luck-man
for the sculpture and
encouraged the Minneso-ta
Alumni Association
Sculpture Committee to
continue . to acquire "sig-nificant
art work to beaut-ify
the state campus."
The 16-foot high, 26-foot
long tubular structure is
located between Northrop
Auditorium and William-son
Hall on the East Bank
Campus.
A video presentation en-titled
"Process: A Public
Sculpture by Stewart
Luckman" may be viewed
at the University Gallery,
Northrop Auditorium,
third floor, 84 Church St.
SE.
The show, documenting
the two-year process of
creating "Rokker V," will
be shown through Nov.
15. The gallery hours are:
Monday, Wednesday, Fri-day,
1 p.m.-4 p.m.; Tues-day
and Thursday, 1 p.m.-
8 p.m. and Sunday, 2 p.m.-
5 p.m.
The purpose of the
sculpture was to commem-orate
the Alumni Associa-tion,
but Luckman chose
not to commemorate any
particular person by doing
a statue.
"I don't think the idea is
to honor a person; the idea
is to honor the idea, and
that way to share in the
whole process," Luckman
said.
Furthermore, he said the
sculpture should fit the
location, the University.
"If there is some tension in
the piece, that's 'right on'
because that's the nature
of the environment the
piece is in."
Luckman continued, "I
don't make sculpture to
illustrate a philosophy. I
wanted a piece that would
fit in well. I could do that
best by (simply) making a
sculpture....It doesn't
speak; it doesn't think. I
was more concerned with
Bethel's Film Forum will
present its second feature
film of the season, "Amar-cord,"
Tuesday, Oct. 20, at
7 p.m. in FA313.
Directed by Federico
Fellini, the film recounts
his youth in pre-World
War II Italy. It is the story
of a young man who longs
for the freedom of adult-hood.
Combining the concerns
of his early neo-realist
comedies with the fan-tastic
style of his later
films, this is one of Fellini's
most loving and imagina-tive
films. According to
Newsweek, "Amarcord" is
the most beautiful movie
Fellini has ever made."
Refreshments and dis-cantilever,
angles, balance,
and so on... Art is not
about communication, al-though
it does communi-cate;
it's about poetry."
The University Sculp-ture
Committee reviewed
competing artists' resumes,
recommendations and
slides of previous commis-sions
and private art work
before choosing • Luckman
for this commission. Luck-man
said that he is work-ing
on other commission
propoSals now.
Funds for the commis-sion
of "Rokker V" came
from the Alumni Associa-tion
Board of Directors and
private contributors.
The $50,000 price paid
for materials, transporta-tion
of the sculpture and
its parts (the pipes were
bent in Duluth by a spe-cial,
heavy-duty pipe-bend-ing
company), lawyers'
fees, factory construction
help and Luckman's fees.
The outdoor sculptures
on the Bethel College cam-pus
are by Luckman.
The sculptures are all
on loan from his private
collection, except for "Hill-billy's
Mama" which was
given to the college by
Luckman last year for
Homecoming. It is located
between the Fine Arts and
Academic buildings.
Luckman has a B.A. de-gree
in political science
from Bethel College, a B.A.
degree in fine arts from
Macalester College and a
M.A. degree in sculpture
and art history from the
University of Minnesota.
In addition, he did gradu-ate
work in art education
at Macalester College.

Concert given
for INFACT
benefit Oct.19
Internationally famous
recording artist Gil Scott-
Heron, with the Midnight
Band, and special guest
Dave Valentin will appear
at the Riverview Supper
Club Monday evening Oct.
19, at 7 and 10 p.m. in a
benefit concert for the
Infant Formula Action Co-alition
(INFACT).
INFACT, an internation-al
grass-roots organiza-tion,
has coordinated the
Nestle Boycott to protest
Nestle's aggressive promo-tion
of infant formula in
the Third World. Over ten
million babies each year
suffer from severe malnu-trition,
diarrhea and brain
damage as a result of in-fant
formula misuse.
Yet "bottle-baby di-sease"
is not limited to the
Third World. Recently,
Public Advocates, a public
interest law firm in San
Francisco, found that over
5,000 infants in the U.S.
die annually from infant
formula abuse in poor,
mostly black and hispanic
areas.
Concert tickets are avail-able
through INFACT, Day-ton's
stores and the River-view

Although Carol Girdler
is new to Bethel's athletic
department, she teaches
enough classes and coach-es
enough sports to be con-sidered
an old-timer.
Girdler was hired by the
PE Department this sum-mer
to teach and coach
full time. Girdler teaches
volleyball, tennis, canoe-ing
and badminton, and
will teach archery during
interim. She is the assist-ant
women's volleyball
coach, and also the worn-en's
softball coach.
Coach Girdler has a very
positive attitude about
teaching. "I teach so the
students will enjoy what
they are learning. I believe
the instructor's attitude is
important in a classroom,"
she said.

the challenge and wants
to help each athlete as

Although born in New

around a great deal to get
her education. She gradu-ated
from Slippery Rock
State University in Penn-sylvania,
earning her
B.A. degree in physical
education. Girdler contin-ued
her schooling at the

two years while attending

Approximately 750 peo-ple
who donate money to
Bethel attended the Royal
Investors Dinner Tuesday,
Oct. 6. Bethel received
about $145,000 in gifts and
pledges.
Following the steak
dinner served to the in-vestors,
a group of Bethel
students, directed by
Nancy Johnson, enter-tained
the audience. The
theme of the program was
"Under Construction,"
In years past, the pro-gram
following the dinner
included a speaker and
special music. This year
the Development Depart-ment
decided to try some-thing
new and "the audi-.
ence seemed to appreciate
it," said John Sahlin,
director of development.
Sahlin said that it was
important for the investors
to get a glimpse of what is
happening at Bethel.
Following the produc-tion,
James Bragg, vice-president
of public affairs,
challenged people to help
support higher Christian
education. People res-ponded
generously, said
Sahlin. Seventy-one
people pledged to become
shareholders, those who
give $200 or more per year.
Some renewed pledges
while others contributed
for the first time.
Thirteen new members
joined the President's
Club, those giving $15,000
per year or a one-time gift
of $15,000 or a deferred
with junior high students.
Ready for a change, Gird-ler
applied at a few schools,
among them Bethel. -
Coach Girdler became a
Christian about a year ago
and enjoys working with
Christians. She said, "I feel
pretty comfortable here at
Bethel; I feel like I fit in. I
enjoy coming to work each
morning because it is a
challenge. Bethel is also
good for my spiritual
growth."
During the few free mo-ments
Girdler has, she
enjoys riding her motor-cycle,
photography, crafts
and parachuting. Girdler
learned how to parachute
while in school and would
like to pursue this interest
in the future.

One of the goals for the

This goal was met
and exceeded by five
investors.
The charter members

Johnson leads offense
by Mark Wollan
The Bethel football team
lost its third conference
game Saturday, Oct. 10,
as it was downed by Con-cordia
30-17.
The Royals started the
game with an impressive
drive, moving 68 yards in
six plays. The drive was
capped by a 36-yard pass
from Steve Doten to cap-tain
Pete Kramka.
Concordia's first posses-sion
proved to be equally
effective. But a critical il-legal
procedure penalty
forced the Cobbers to set-tle
for a field goal.
The second quarter
proved to be the decisive
one as Concordia ran up
20 points to Bethel's three.
The Cobber offense ran a
controlled ground game
which was highlighted by
the running of fullback Jim
Klug.
In the second half the
Royals and Cobbers each
scored once. Highlighting
the Bethel offense was the
performance of Bryan John-son
who caught eight pass-es
totaling 75 yards.

over the St. Thomas
Tommies with a score of
5-4 in an action-packed

Both teams went into
the game with a 5-1 record
to battle for the lead in the
MIAC. Before the game,
Bethel players Neil Kaiser
and Mark Johnson stated
that the key to winning
was a quick start and play-ing
the mid-field. "If we
get out there and really
play the first five minutes,
that could determine the
game," said Kaiser.
The Royals did get a
quick start with Johnson

two teams battled for the
lead, Johnson and Bobby

and third goals, re-spectively.
At the half the
Royals and the Tommies
were tied 3-3.
The Royals got a slow
start at the beginning of
the second half but were
able to hold the Tommies
in check. With 18 and a
half minutes left in the
game, striker Johnson
came through with the tie-breaking
goal to give the
Royals the lead.
With three minutes left
in the game, Stan Higgs
drove home Bethel's fifth
goal. As the battle reached
its peak, St. Thomas came
back to make its fourth
goal seconds later.

however, and used its

victory, co-captain Joel

a tough but exciting game.
"We had to go all-out, but
every time we scored a
goal we just kept going at
them," he said.
Coach Mark Leigh said
that Saturday's game was
one of the best he has seen.
Although Bethel's defense
