Doug Barkey captures the advent of winter on pages 6 and 7. The Christmas Spirit pages 5, 8 Bethel College St. Paul, MN Vol. 54 No. 10 December 8, 1978 Faulty Rosters arrive , replacements promised by Jay Russell Last week the Bethel Roster was given to students and was re-ceived with mixed reactions. We talked to Greg Kaihoi, Bethel student and photographer for the Roster, and asked him about some of the production problems this year. Q.What were your duties in producing the Roster? Kaihoi: I wasn't involved with any of the planning or production of the Roster, but as a Bethel student and employee of Phodale, I became familiar with how the Roster was being produced. My job was to take the pictures for the Roster. Q: Why did the Roster come out so late? Kaihoi: Originally Phodale Photography, the producers, had planned to release the Roster Oct. 15, but to do this Phodale couldn't guarantee that all Bethel students would be in the Roster with 100, per cent accuracy. The contract between Bethel and Phodale was misunderstood, because the stu-dent affairs office was under the by Anne Rosenthal The college relations office is the first place a prospective Bethel student encounters. A prospective student must meet a number of requirements which demonstrate that he has the necessary ingredients to be a successful student at Bethel. The applicant must be ranked in the top half of his high school class and must also submit a PSAT, SAT or ACT test score. Merri Lee Hipp, recruitment coordinator, said a student's class rank carries more weight than his test score does, because it indi-cates performance and discipline in the classroom over four years, whereas a test score shows per-formance on one day. Each applicant is required to write a faith statement, which conveys his commitment to Jesus Christ. A weak faith statement will cause the committee to deny the admission of a student. Admissions also asks for three references—one from an adult friend, a pastor and a high impression that the Roster would be 100 per cent accurate, even if it took a little longer to produce. When Phodale discovered that the student affairs office wanted a roster that was 100 per cent accurate, they had to wait for a computer printout of information on every Bethel student. Phodale then had to compare their records with the printout, correcting any errors that were made. This process delayed produc-tion of the Roster, so the Roster wasn't ready for printing when the deadline arrived. Then, when the Roster was ready for printing, it took six weeks to print because the printers were tied up with other work. Q: Why was Phodale concern-ed with putting the Roster out early if it wasn't totally accurate? Kaihoi: In past years the stu-dent affairs office has produced the Roster, and their goal has been to have it in the hands of the students a week before Nik is ag. Phodale's philosophy was to get the Roster in the hands of the stu-dents as soon as possible, even if a few students weren't included. They had the students fill out a school counselor or teacher. Two out of the three must be positive recommendations. When the three members of the committee—Paul Finlay, re-gistrar; Philip Kimball, assistant director of admissions; and Mack Nettleton, director of student af-fairs— read an applicant's file, they look for the student's poten-tial to develop academically, socially and spiritually. The entire committee has to concur in its decision before a student is admitted or denied. "I believe we have a comprehensive admissions policy," said Kimball. "Instead of one person making the decision, all three of us debate over each file." Students who are awarded participation grants in art, drama, music or sports are evaluated by the same criteria as all other applicants—academic perfor-mance, faith statement and refer-ences, said Hipp. Those who receive grants must demonstrate their financial need by filling out the family financial statement (FFS). They also need card when their pictures were taken, and this information was to be put in the Roster. Since a lot of students didn't bother to have their pictures taken, Phodale didn't have any information on them. That's why some students would have been left out. About 60 students, or 3 per cent of the student body would have been excluded from the Roster, and many of these were part-time students. Phodale fig-ured that these students could be included in the Roster supple-ment that comes out second semester. Q: Why was the quality of printing so bad? Kaihoi: The fault was not in the photography, because the pic-tures turned out fine. A lot of the pictures were blacked out or par-tially blacked out because of a quality control error in the print-ing. The streaking was caused by roller marks. This was evident primarily in the student section. The faculty section turned out pretty good. Q: Why were most of the pic-tures taken at such a long dis-tance? to secure a recommendation from a teacher or coach. When an applicant is denied admittance into Bethel, he re-ceives a letter stating the reason for the denial, and is given the right to appeal the committee's decision. by Mark Rentz An honors program for high potential students at Bethel may be proposed and implemented by next fall. Last year the faculty develop-ment committee at Bethel wrote the Lilly Foundation and received a grant of $100,000 over a three year period to improve faculty developments. The honors pro-gram study is a part of this improvement of academic quality. A six-member faculty commit-tee is currently making a com-prehensive study of existing hon- Kaihoi: Phodale wanted the pictures taken further away to give more of a portrait-type look rather than a mug shot type of picture. Another reason was be-cause some of the pictures in last year's roster were taken at such a ors programs at other colleges. The committee is also assessing how to implement such a program at Bethel as well as what the program should consist of to be successful. Dr. James E. Johnson, chair-man of the history department, and coordinator of the honors committee commented that, "People with high potential should be given an opportunity to fly. Everyone who enters college is put in the same stew pot and we can't identify those who are well beyond some of the freshman experiences. "The purpose of an honors pro-gram," said Johnson, "is to pro-close distance that it was hard to identify the person. By showing a part of the body, it would be a little easier to identify the stu-dent. cont.. on page 3 vide an opportunity for highly motivated and/or gifted students to pursue a special course of study suitable to their interests and abilities. Honors courses will substitute for specified core re-quirements." "Our athletic department," continued Johnson, "goes out to recruit good athletes who can pass, kick, and run with a foot-ball. Their rationale is to have a better football team. We should recruit good honor potential. It will elevate the whole academic community. cont. on page 4 Admission policy Prospective students undergo trials Honors program for next fall being studied TWO HAVE MASKS ONE ONE...

What concerns me most about that election, as it should concern all Minnesotans, is that Mr. Quie interjected reli-gious judgments into a political campaign for his own personal gain. 1. Quie volunteers leafleting cars (including ours) on church parking lots the Sunday before election with misrepresentations about my husband (keeping in mind that Mr. Quie announced his candidacy back in August 1977, yet he waited until the Sunday before to distribute the relgious ads—allowing no time for a reply). 2. On the night before election, newspaper ads on Quie's behalf asking for votes "for the great Christian for our next Governor" (is one to assume then that people practicing Judaism and other great faiths should be excluded as candidates for the governship?). 3. Thousands of letters mailed in the final days of the campaign with obvious religious overtones. 4. Inferences throughout that Quie is a Christian and Rudy is not, including Mr. Quie calling my husband "Crazy Rudy" and "Rubberstamp Rudy." Rudy has been an active Chris-tian since childhood. He doesn't believe in using religion as a political ploy. The standard Web-ster difinition of a Christian is, To the editor: Cold, three-day-old water plugs the sink. Pots and pans contain-ing anything from sticky macaroni and peanut butter remain piled high for "someone else" to do. These are typical conditions of kitchens in girls' dorms at Bethel. It's disturbing to me to see this type of filth in a Christian col-lege, and equally disturbing be- "Christian - having qualities demonstrated and taught by Jesus Christ, as love, kindness, humility—a decent, respectable person." My husband conducted a clean, honest campaign, based on the issues. Mr. Quie, in this cam-paign, carried a Bible in one hand and a bucket of mud in the other. Who then is the true Christian? Sincerely, Lola Perpich cause it involves girls. What kind of housekeepers are these girls going to be? Have we forgotten that "cleanliness is next to godli-ness?" What happened to our inte-grity? Boxes of cereal, milk, cheese and fruit "magically" dis-appear from refrigerators. It's one thing to share and have a community refrigerator, but an-other thing to improvise the idea that we share (steal) its contents. It is possible to remedy this disgusting situation if everyone participates to work toward a cleaner, safer, fresher-smelling kitchen in their dorm. Next time any of us girls in the dorms attempt to bake something and leave a mess, or decide to quiet our grumbling stomachs by "snitching Sally's pickles," I hope we will think twice about our actions. Don't forget we are Christians and are supposed to be living examples for others at all times. Thus, don't forget the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Sincerely, Sandee Barton Christian confronted on practical living issue page two Saucy Lynn Faith poses for a portrait to send to "The World Who's Who of Women" publishers. Does Bethel mean sheltered people? monest goodness Non-clone defies syndrom, chews fingernails by Shelly Nielsen I didn't even know what a clone was until one was pointed out to me in the hall the other day. "It" smelled of Crest and wore a "Star Wars" T-shirt. "It" carried a half-eaten egg-salad sandwich and moaned something about getting only three hours of sleep. "It" was everywhere! We face a massive identity crisis. Bethel "groupies" especially are in danger of losing their individualism through an extremely popular, persistant, and rather boring picture of us maintained by "members of the outside." This Bethelite clone gets monthly crew cuts, conscien-tiously chews Sen-Sen, and clings religiously to a wardrobe similar to that of the '65 graduates' of Pillsbury college. However false this portrait may be, we yet are threatened with the possibility of blending - homo-genizing - into one uninteresting mass. Ask yourself, "What is it that distinguishes me from Joe Schmuck on the street?" If, like me, you must answer that it's nothing more impressive than your distant relation to Burl Ives, this expose is addressed to you! It's time to break out of this routine mold and become some-thing different, outrageous, and, if needs be, outcast. Fortunately, we have an ex-ample. The age of strange and wonderful has not yet passed completely from this earth. Resi-ding among us is the epitome of courageous "weirdness." Here is uniqueness personified! One of our very own faculty members has been nominated for an award that will separate him from the commoners and brand his name in the annals of Bethelite history. The honor arrived undramati-cally via a common red, white, and blue air mail envelope. Nothing would have distin- Dear editor, I guess I'm bringing up a very volatile issue by criticizing the music department when ad-mittedly I am at best a rank amateur musician. However, it is for precisely this reason that I see this year's Festival of Christmas as a dangerous departure from traditional concerts sponsored by Bethel College. I do not speak of the content since I am in no position to judge. What bothers me is the music department's insistence on a pro-fessional presentation instead of allowing students to present our program. At first it did not seem like my place to criticize a department I'm guished the parcel from the sheaves of other unimportant documents but for the word "ur-gent" printed in block letters at the corners. L.M. Fauth ripped it open with trembling, hopeful fin-gers. Inside was a personal letter be-ginning: "Dear Biographee:" Now it seems that the editors of a volume called "The World Who's Who of Women" are clamoring for the personal bio-graphy of Dr. Lynn Fauth, till now, unobstrusive, only slightly radical professor in the English department at Bethel. Understandably, his first re-actions to the letter were not wholly positive. "I felt tacky and used," he stated, miffed at what he considered an objectionable attitude of "sexist publishers." However, further consideration of the opportunity to gee his photo appear in the fifth annual The W.W.W. of W. repealed pre-mature rashness. He plans to purchase his first edition of the $49.50 text (not including $4.50 postage) with the change he collects from beneath couch cush-ions at Doc's. Lynn, who describes himself as a "brainy blond" claims such sought-after talents as reading religious poetry cynically and teaching W.A.R. He also remains admirably modest and admits to some negative traits that may mar his standing among other nomi-nees. "I chew my fingernails," he reported, twisting a corner of his plaid shirt, "and I have a tenden-cy to interpret poems in a Freud-ian manner." He does feel that competition could pose a bit of difficulty, especially after the review com-mittee receives his picture. "Electrolysis hasn't been work-ing," he admitted bluntly. Asked whether he was con-cerned that success might harm his marriage, he jokingly answered, "Yeah, when my wife, Toni, finds out I'm a woman." not involved in, but after speak-ing to many Festival members, decided that many feel the same way; they just don't feel free to express their frustration. When activities intended to promote the school are scheduled for the benefit of the students and friends of the school, should the students be allowed to be the main participants or should we "import?" My opinion is that profession-als are nice, but many of our friends can do almost as good a job and can certainly praise God as well as any more experienced artists. Even teachers, as close as they may be to the students, have no right to exempt the students We see the sort of problems Lynn Fauth, and every coura-geous soul like him, must endure in order to nobly express his individuality. Here is a man not afraid to brave opposition, ridicule, and the especially cruel jeers of his departmental associates. One surly, sarcastic fellow wanted to know whether Lynn's blush was natural. This type of intolerance indi-cates the hum-drum existence Dear editor: Over a piece of Mam Rosa's pepperoni pizza, Josephy Theo-dore Maltese expressed to me his impressions of Bethel College. Joe, being aquainted with very few Bethel students, has ideas that have not been relished by any "insiders." Maltese, who has only looked over Bethel one time in his recent from roles that could be handled by them. The basic question is, will God be more glorified if we give him the best (professionals) or our best as a student body? Sincerely, Tom Buxton roster cont. from page 1 Q: Will the phone numbers and addresses be changed for the old campus residents moving to new campus? Kaihol: No, that information can't be corrected because the printer has agreed to reprint the Roster exactly as it appears in the original form. If any changes most Bethelites—a conglomer-ation of dull students, faculty, and staff- -will content themselves with. Dr. Lynn M. Fauth has transcended this boring mode and will reap the benefits of his courage in the impending infamy he will enjoy. In an unselfish and enthusiastic desire to initiate this trend toward blatant individuality at Bethel, Lynn unhesitatingly recommends a list of other faculty members he deems possible candidates for existence, has a very limited view. However, I found his com-ments most interesting and hum-orous. As my teeth were attempting to cut the swiss cheese on my pizza, Joe remarked, "I thought it was strange to have an armed guard at the front gate." I quickly informed Mr. Maltese that the guard was armed with merely a flashlight. Obviously, a seed of "being sheltered," as Joe put it, has been planted in Joe's mind. "What is your definition of sheltered in this context?" "I think the students are sheltered by the way they keep up themselves from what is really on the outside," Joe explained. He went on to say, "I started to look around for barbed wire fen-ces." were made, we would probably have to pay for it. The address changes might be printed in the Roster supplement next semes-ter. Q: When will the reprinted Roster come out? Kabob The new rosters will be out some time next year, but I'm not sure when. awards: Jean Glader, Roberta Weaver, Chrissy Weintz, and Gerri Healy. With this type of leadership and ingenuity, perhaps we too may overcome our glaring "cloneship" to become garrishly noticeable and outlandish indivi-duals. Does Joe have a point? Are we too sheltered at Bethel? Do we bring it upon ourselves? Do we like the idea of being sheltered? Clearly we can see that Joe was going a little overboard with his descriptions of Bethel. However, do we agree that he has a point? When people shelter them-selves from the people they wish to stay away from, for various reasons, such as, life styles diff-erences, not only do they with-hold their personal influence on these people, but they also be-come a more self-centered type of person. They also lose the challenge of sharing their faith in various ways with people of other faiths, or no faith at all. Thus, they become colder and colder to outsiders needs. There are solutions to this concept. One might take an hour out of their time to visit a children's home or nursing home. A concerned person might also wish to share their faith in various ways simply by living a Christmas like life as described in the Bible. Here is a chance to be creative for your Lord!

The Oregon Extension is a one semester, inter-disciplinary, liberal arts program, sponsored by Trinity College, and con-ducted in an old lumber mill town in southern Oregon's Cascade Mountains, just outside Ashland, Oregon. The course of study runs from August 26 to December 15, 1979, and offers 15 hours of 300-level credit in a variety of humanities, social sciences and sciences. Emphasis is placed on independent scholarly pursuit and small group inter-action. The goal of the faculty is to help you equip yourself to be a thinking Christian in today's society. Study is under-taken in the context of ongoing community relationships, common work and common worship, extra-curricular learn-ing— a visit to San Francisco, a backpack in Three Sisters Wilderness, a strenuous climb of Mt. Shasta. Costs are some-what less than on most Christian college campuses, and registration through your own school is possible. Juniors and seniors with 3.0 (B) or better are given priority. For complete information, write Dr. James Titus, Oregon Ex-tension, 15097 Hwy 66, Ashland, OR 97520. "Passages" winners collect laud, currency by Sandee Barton "Here comes the caramel man," a student comments as 73- year-old Royal Bloom hurries to-ward him. The lean, silver-haired Bloom then proudly presents his friend with one of his homemade, mouth-watering caramels. Bloom was professor of psy-chology, statistics, and director of testing at Bethel College for 23 years. He presently volunteers his services at Bethel's business office, tabulating time sheets and working out payrolls. Dr. Roy "Doc" Dalton, pro-fessor in history, was a student of Royal Bloom a "few" years ago. Some classes Doc took from Royal include educational psychology, general psychology, abnormal psychology and applied psycho-logy. Doc comments about Royal as he reflects back to his collegiate days: "I learned more from the model he set as a good teacher than from any other source. He sincerely cared for his students." But perhaps Bloom is better known as "the caramel man" than for the volunteer work he does in the business office. For years he has blessed many mouths and stomachs with his chewy goodies. Caramel-making takes place in Bloom's apartment where his wife often helps with the pro-duction. The traditional time for making the delectable treats be-gins right before Halloween and continues until March. "I like to make them," Royal (always dressed in a business suit) proudly comments. "I enjoy giving candy away. I don't make them for myself," he continues, "because I hardly ever eat any, but I've got to lick the pan." Last year Bloom treated every member of the Concert Choir and Women's Choir to a box of 12 caramels each, before the choirs went on spring tour. The Blooms make about 40 batches of caramels annually, but this year they are not expecting to make quite as many. There are approximately 180 to 200 cara-mels in each batch. Every piece is individually wrapped with wax paper. An 8-inch sheet of wax paper is divided into 16 sections and each section, an inch long, is then used for each caramel. The cooking process takes only about 35 min-utes, but to wrap one batch takes about an hour-and-a-half. Students sometimes help with the wrapping, and the Blooms especially appreciate this help before and during the Christmas holidays, when they usually dis-tribute most of their caramels. Royal's candy-making business first began before World War II when his wife showed him the recipe from a friend whose hus-band had developed the candy-making skill. He began making caramels for friends and relatives, but during the war years (while stationed in Washington D.C.) he began giv-ing caramels to men being trans-ferred overseas. When he began teaching at Bethel in 1947, he shared his tantalizing sweets with students in his psychology and education classes, gave caramels as re-wards in statistics, and sent gift boxes to alumni all over the world. Royal's candy business has ex-panded now, and he even distri-butes caramels to students and faculty as he passes them in the halls. "I work in the business office," Rebecca Butler comments, "so Royal is a good friend of mine. He often brightens up my day when he tucks one of his delicious (but fattening) caramels into my pock-ets." Gardening is also one of Roy-al's hobbies, and tomatoes are his favorite. The Blooms live In an apartment, so they rent a plot of land from the county for their garden. Royal also works at the Greater St. Paul Volunteer Office two to three days out of the month. He is also currently vice-president of one of Roseville's senior citizen clubs. Royal is listed in "Who's Who in the Midwest," "Who's Who in American Education" and has written a chapter in "Personnel Research and Test Development in the Bureau of Navy Personnel" published by the Princeton Uni-versity Press. by Shelly Nielsen "Passages" magazine's annual talent contest is over. The word and winners are out. Top entries, along with other exalted contri-butions will appear in the spring edition of "Passages." An example of winning visual work is previewed here. Doug Barkey took his photograph and called it "Sharing a Sunset." Bruce Johnson, a senior, pro-duced the slide series on ceramics that won second. Remarkably, a photo of the swamp near the circle lot was entered by Edith Harvey and won third place. Honors, cont. from page 1 Johnson observed that the hon-ors program will have to be specifically designed for Bethel because of the college's size and its integration of faith and learn-ing. The committee is in the process of developing the philosophy for the program, but Johnson was convinced that whatever program is finally presented will be workable at Bethel. "It would also enhance our Christian witness. We not only need Christian witness, but also an academic witness. We need to say that we as Christians are serious about our academics." The honors committee is made up of: James Johnson, professor of history; Jeannine Bohlmeyer, In the literary division, senior Daniel Miller took first with an autobiographic essay. Second place winner Scott Barnard, a junior not attending Bethel this semester, submitted a poem. Transfer student Ann Taylor was awarded third prize for her per-sonal essay. Prizes for first, second, and third place winners were, re-spectively, $25, $15, $10. You too may still see your painting poem, or expose in print!

"What? Where are we?" her sleepy sister asked. "Well, we're about 30 miles from home, and we're off the road. I can't tell what's the road and what's not with all this snow everywhere, and it's dark. You would think they'd plow these interstates, at least." "Maybe everyone is taking a holiday. Who wants to be out plowing snow on Christmas Eve?" Tina said. "Oh, I wish we were home!" Cindy said. "But there's no sense moaning about that now. We're just going to have to get unstuck and get home before Santa Claus beats us there." "Do you think we could push the car out?" Tina suggested. "I don't think so, but I'll have a look. You come over and steer, and I'll try to push us out." Tina obeyed, and Cindy got out of the car. The wind was picking up, and it chilled her thoroughly. The snow was beautiful though, falling softly in the night, blanketing the road and the ground. She looked up into the sky, searching for a star to remind her of the first Christmas. All she could see were a million dancing snowflakes, falling on her bare face and melting in her hair. She walked around to the back of the car. "Okay, put it in drive," she shouted at Tina. The wheels spun, but the car didn't budge. Cindy walked back to the car, and scooted in beside Tina. "Brrr, it's freezing out there. I don't think we can get very far, unless we get about ten strong guys to help us. We may need a tow, we're pretty far from the road, and we're pretty stuck too. It's a good thing we have plenty of gas, or we just might freeze to death if we had to sit in a cold car..." "Did you say it's only 30 more miles till we get home?" Tina asked. "That's only about a half an hour's drive in the summer." "But this isn't exactly summer. I don't know when we'll get home, maybe never. Wait a min-ute, I think I see some head-lights." Cindy dashed out of the car and ran to the road. But by the time she got to the road the truck had passed by. Defeated, she returned to the car. "It will be too hard to go running back and forth every time a car comes," she said. "But how else will we get out of here?" Tina asked. "I can go out-side." "No, you have a cold. We'll just wait and see if any help comes soon—maybe a wrecker will come by to tow us out." Two cars passed by without stopping, even when Cindy ran out to the road and waved her arms. Either they couldn't see her, or they were in too much of a hurry to get home for Christmas, Cindy thought. Back in the car, Cindy said, "Well, we still have enough gas to get home, but the tank won't stay full forever. Why doesn't anyone stop?" "No one has time for us, or room for us, I guess. Just like Jesus," Tina mused. "What are you talking about?" "Well, you know the story. Mary and Joseph couldn't find anywhere to spend the night. No one had room for them, and no one could take time to make them comfortable. I guess we can i-dentify with them right now, right?" Tina wrapped her coat more tightly around her. "Yes, I guess you're right. Mary and Joseph were stranded, too. And to think, no one had any room for the Christ child to be born! They didn't have a place for God to enter the world!" "Isn't that incredible?" Tina said. Then she glanced at the rear view mirror. "Wait, I see head-lights again!" Cindy jumped out of the car, and waved her arms when she got to the road. For a minute, she thought the driver would plow her over, but then he slowed down and stopped. by Rick Chapman "Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la la la, 'tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la. The season of yule has arrived again. Was there every any doubt? Without question the advent of Christmas has come at a most significant time, especially for the Bethel student. Regardless of the academic dilemmas which pre-sently loom before nearly every-one, Christmas brings with it happiness and joy. This phenomenon is well docu-mented by the remarks of a certain Bethel girl: "Who cares if I have three book reviews, a 20-page research paper, two speeches and an oral report re-maining to accomplish in addition to finals—it's Christmas!" Indeed, Christmas is one of the most influential occasions of the entire year. Because of its impact, multi-tudes flock to the shopping esta-blishments to exchange their sav-ings for an assortment of gifts, homes are decorated with bright- "Looks like you need some help," said the man as he jumped out of his cab. "Yes, we're pretty stuck. Do you think you could help me push us out of here?" "Well, I'm not sure that would do any good. Like you said, you're really stuck. But you're in luck, I've got a chain in the truck and I think it's long enough to pull you out of there. I'll hook it up to your car and see if it will work." Cindy jumped up and down, partly because she was so ex-cited, and partly because she was freezing. As soon as the trucker had hooked them up, she hopped back into the car. "I think we're home free," she told Tina. She put the car in drive once again, and slowly, the truck was able to pull 'them back onto the road. As soon as they were back on the road, Cindy ran out to the truck. "Thanks a lot for your help," she said to the driver. "No problem," he said. "Have a merry Christmas." He was down the road before Cindy thought to ask him if they could pay him for his trouble. "Maybe this will be a good Christmas after all," Cindy said as they headed down the road once again. "Look, the snow is letting up! We may get home before too long." "Oh, we'll get home," Tina responded. "Even the innkeeper had room for Jesus, even if it was just the barn." ly colored lights, trees, Santa Clauses, and what not, and indiv-iduals who would make Dicken's Scrooge appear benevolent even participate in temporary deeds of kindness and good will. What is this phenomenon of Christmas? The term is a deriva-tive of an Old English phrase meaning "Christ's mass," which was first used in the 11th century. The December 25 date was set in the fourth century by the Church at Rome. A Roman pagan celebration was already held on this day. Perhaps the Church purposed to turn the people from this pagen celebration to a day in which the Christ-child was adored. Christmas, a day which was set aside to remember the Christ has developed historically through a mixture of various pagan ele-ments, both Roman and from the practices of later converts in the northern Germanic areas of Europe. So from various sources Christ-mas has come down as a tradition to a present position of tremen-dous influence. I still remember my favorite Christmas. It took place in the mountains of Baguio, a city in north central Luzon in the Philip-pines. The family was together. Evenings were spent sitting about the hearth of a roaring fire. We children listened to stories that our father read to us. I cannot recall whatever mater-ial gifts were given or received that Christmas—only that it was a truly special experience sharing gifts of love and life. That experience demonstrated to me that the significance of Christmas did not consist of material things. And yet, during this Christmas season, many will not even have the warmth and presence of fam-ily and friends with whom to share and rejoice, nor even the rudimentary requirements of life. There are the hungry, the sick, the widows, the dispossessed, the prisoners, and other outcasts of society, both here and abroad. I think of Georgi Vins, a leader of the Reformed Baptists in the Soviet Union, who is presently in prison because of his unwilling-ness to compromise his commit-ment to Jesus Christ. How radically different his Christmas will be in contrast to mine. What will Christmas mean to him? I imagine that through his suffering Georgi Vins has come to know the joy and spirit of Christ-mas very profoundly, not as a single event in the year, but all - year long. Right from his birth, Christ necessarily looked ahead to the suffering of the cross. He came to die. Vins is now privileged to share in that suffering as a ser-vant of Christ. In Dr. Seuss's "The Gtinch Who Stole Christmas," the Grinch at-tempts to destroy Christmas by taking all the outward mani-festations and symbolic items of the Whos' Christmas. The Grinch failed to understand that their Christmas did not con-sist in these material objects. They sang and rejoiced all the same. If in Georgi Vins' situation, could I remain joyful or could I even celebrate?

What are some of the family `:raditions of Bethel's faculty and administration? Randy Johnson, instructor in philosophy, said, "Each year we get an ornament with the date on it. We have one for each year of our child's life. Aaron is five now." Said Pastor Spickelmier, "Our Christmas is heavily influenced by my wife's semi-Scandinavian background. On Christmas Eve we have a smorgasbord with her family. We have herring, flat-bread, cheese, potato sausage, etc. "On Christmas Eve morning we deliver special gifts to shut-ins and to those who have needs. We take them candy, bread or some-thing that we have made." by Becky Olson A non-credit study skills course has been approved by the dean's administrative council and will be available to all students during interim. Paul Redin and student men-tors generated the new course. It consists of 10 sessions covering the following topics: managing time, taking lecture notes, read-ing textbooks, taking examina-tions, making oral reports, im-proving memory, concentration, scholastic motivation, and inter-personal relations. According to Gerard Laroche, professor of French and Spanish, "It's a time for togetherness, we try to go places together," he went on. - Festival of Christmas, a church with a special program and other programs are regular parts of our holiday. "Before opening our gifts on Christmas morning we have a special devotional period. Every-one is responsible for finding something to read in the Scrip-ture. We discuss it and then we each say five things that we are thankful for. "Music is always a part of our Christmas. My wife plays the piano, my son plays the viola and the saxophone and I play the mouth organ. There is always a lot of singing." Lillian Ryberg, professor of Spanish, said, "On Christmas Eve we open our presents and eat lutefisk. Our family always took a The study skills course should not be confused with Academic Improvement Groups (A.I.G.). This course explores a broad area of study skills, whereas A.I.G. deals specifically with managing time and setting realistic goals. Two sections, each taught by two student mentors, will be offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Working around class periods, one section will be off-ered before chapel (9:45-10:45) and the other offered before afternoon sessions (11:55-12:55).

Professor of Art Ste-wart "Stu" Luckman asked, "Traditions?" Then continued, "I try my best to avoid lutefisk—I hate it. I'm Irish but my wife is Scandinavian so we celebrate with her family on Christmas Eve. "It's an orgy of cuisine. Swedish smorgasbords are amaz-ing. All that food! "On Christmas day we read the Christmas story, share in grace and devotion and eat oyster soup. Sometimes we have spontaneous slide shows." James Mason, professor of speech and communication, said, "We always buy our tree three or four weeks early. "Each year my wife gives the children a little trinket for their tree. With those they are able to remember special years." Said Olaf Olsen, professor of history, "We have an ethnic tradition because of my Norwe-gian background.

Both students and faculty have input on student faculty commit-tees. There are 12 committees and several other informal ones, each performing a specific func-tion. The Admissions Committee re-views petitions from students who have been turned down for ad-mission to Bethel. "We decide whether the stu-dents should be put on probation or if they should be allowed to take just a few classes for credit," said Lisa Pepper, a sophomore member of the Admissions Committee. "It is a joint decision. We all get a chance to vote." Four students and four faculty members make up the Curri-culum Administrative Committee which approves petitions for new courses suggested by the faculty for next year's programs. "Each teacher submits a schedule for his or her next year's classes," said sophomore Hellen Manning. Copies are given to Tricia Brownlee, assistant to the dean; Paul Finlay, registrar; and to the committee. The committee then expresses its opinion and returns the peti-tion to the dean's office for final decision. "The decision of the dean always stands," said Hellen. Students' petitions for non-standard specializations or changes in exam schedules go to the registrar for first approval. If the registrar approves, the peti-tion goes to the committee. "If we approve, then we let It stand. But a majority vote can override the registrar's decision," said Hellen. The Convocation Administra-tive Advisory Committee plans speakers for convocation pro-grams. "We plan educational things," said Lois Malcolm, a sophomore senator. The Communications Board is an all-student board with a faculty advisor. Alvera Mickelsen, assis-tant professor of journalism, ex-presses her opinions but has no vote. This is the board responsible for the Clarion, Coeval, Passages and KABY. All student media are responsible to the Communi-cations Board for the choosing of staff, editors, policy and budget. Another committee is the Chapel and Spiritual Life Corn-mittee which plans chapel ser-vices for the following year. "The Student Life Committee is in search of a job," said Tannie Woods, student senate president. "It will probably combine with the Judiciary Committee." The Judiciary Committee is the "grievance" committee. For ex-ample, if students feel they were unfairly graded, they can appeal to this committee. The College Relations Policy Committee works in conjucntion with the College Relations Com-mittee. This year they are review-ing enrollment problems. "We are doing a retention study of other private colleges to see what their retention rates are," said Becky Dye, sophomore senator. Other student-faculty commit-tees include the Academic Policy Committee, the Athletic Advisory Committee, the Student Affairs and Policy Committee and the Financial Aid Committee. One of the informal committees is the Housing Advisory Commit. tee. This year they are dealing with problems involved in moving people from old campus, and such things as parking problems at Fountain Terrace. There are about 20 students and faculty on this informal com-mittee. Any student may bring a problem to one of the committee members, who will bring the problem up at the next meeting. "This committee allows me to be involved and personally work on the projects," said Sue. "Not every senator has to be on a student-faculty committee," said Tannie, "but every commit-tee has to have a senator. These committees allow input into Bethel's decision making." by Hellen Manning John Sailhamer is not new to Bethel, but his role is different. He once was a student. Now he is an assistant professor in the biblical and theological studies depart-ment. What brought Sailhamer back to Bethel? "Opportunity," he said. "Bethel has had a longlasting effect on my life. I always wanted to teach here," he said. Sailhamer taught at Biola College and Los Angeles Bible College, both in California. Sailhamer has not stopped stu-dying. He has, since his freshman year at Bethel, received two graduate degrees and is currently working for a Ph.D. at U.C.L.A. He said he enjoys graduate school. "The classes are smaller and the students are highly qualified and more serious than undergraduates," he said. During his years at U.C.L.A. he studied 12 languages. He is writing his doctoral dissertation on ancient near Eastern languages. He would like to teach Hebrew at Bethel. "I want students to have a grasp on Biblical languages," he said. When Sailhamer went to California he thought students would be different. "I don't know exactly what I mean by different. But I'm learning that students are the same everywhere," said Sailhamer. "There is a difference in at-titude toward the instructor here as compared to Biola, though. There was less distance between students and faculty at Biola. Now when I walk into a classroom the students get quiet," Sailhamer said. "I'm not saying that's bad, just different," he explained. Sailhamer met his wife, Patty, at Wheaton College in Illinois. She was on the Campus Crusade for Christ staff. They have two children, David, three, and Betsy, 18 months. Patty picked their home in Mounds View. Sailhamer never saw it until they moved into it. "The inside's great, the lawn is too big, (I know because I have to mow it) but I can't tell you what the outside looks like," he said. "Patty does the bookwork. I tried, but I finally gave the finances to her. Not that she wants to do it, but she's better at it," Sailhamer said. He believes they run a traditional home, "though it may not look like it from what I've told you," he said. "Patty loves homemaking, cooking, sew-ing, and decorating and has no in-tention of working. She also likes kids." Apart from Bethel and his own studying, Sailhamer loves to travel. One summer in the mid-60's he hitchhiked and travelled on the bus around the States and Canada. "I did it just to do it," he said. He especially enjoys traveling by train. by Joy Banta Bethel's top varsity debate team, Mike Emerson and Scott Larson, placed ninth out of 33 teams at Iowa State University. Teams representing 10 states competed in the regional tourna-ment in Ames, Iowa last week-end. Two of Bethel's junior varsity teams also competed. Ira King and Jim Torgerson went 4-4 and Pam Linamen and Ch_ eryl Thomas went 3-5 in the preliminary rounds against 33 junior varsity teams. Mike and Scott made it to the octo-finals losing to only three of the top teams in the region: University of Kansas, North-western University and Illinois State University.

It was an excellent round and we thought that we'd won—but so did they," said Mike. Coach Dave Lee said, "I was very pleased with the tourna-ment. It was excellent competi-tion and they all debated very well." Junior varsity debater Ira King said, "I thought we did a fantastic job because the competition was some of the best, if not the best, I've seen all year." As for the tournament overall, Mike said, "It was a significant improvement over our last tour-nament at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill. where we (Scott and I) went 3-5." Bethel's debate teams will not compete again until January. page nine The dance scene from "Amahl" was one of the highlights of this year's Festival of Christmas.

The sculpture piece is on dis-play in the sculpture studio win-dow. Junior Jeff Weissbach made it late last summer. Jeff said the idea came while he was driving in New York City on his way to Whitney Art Museum. He noticed a group of tourists outside an adult bookstore peep-ing at it curiously but staying at a distance, as if they were afraid. Jeff commented, "It amused me, and I saw a metaphor in the situation. by Becky Dye Bethel's Stage Band is reor-ganizing this year with plans to increase its number of per-formances. Under the direction of Chuck Olson, the instrumental director, the band will explore jazz, swing, rock and blues. "This kind of music is indi-genous to America. If done prop-erly, it has a place and can benefit people going into music educa-tion. "Jazz is becoming popular in high schools; people entering education should have experience with this type of music," Olson said. Basically the Stage Band is a new group. Last year it performed at the spring Pops Concert. But it was informally structured until this year. "We would certainly like to play at the Pops Concert this spring." commented Olson. There are also numerous local "This particular piece is a metophor of sorts. At the time I had more specific intentions, but now its implications are much more widespread. The whole idea of 'peeping' has a signifi-cance." Stu Luckman, chairman of the art department and sculpture in-structor said, "Perhaps people approach their own senses from a very unconfident self-conscious point of view. "Many people look at ideas, life and faith almost as if they are merely voyeurs," he added. A senior art student corn-mented, "The sculpture accur-ately describes many people's view of the art department. They come to the art department and Jazz festivals. "A group our size is relatively mobile; there is also the possi-bility of playing at athletic events. We're exploring the possibilities of being a performance group and we're encouraged about it so far. The Stage Band will offer im-provisation. This is something that Bethel's other groups don't offer normally," added Olson. The Stage Band has approxi-mately 17 members and Olson said that the band still needs tenor and baritone saxophone players. "People who are not in band or orchestra are welcome. There are no auditions and anyone with experience may join us. If the group starts to go we'll become even more organized. We're try-ing to build discipline," said Olson. "I can see a strong healthy program such as this create an added attraction for protential students," concluded Olson. by Ed Scott Palmquist Cindy Wobig, secretary to the music department, gives organ lessons to a handicapped lady. "She does not play much during lessons. But we spend the time discussing the piece she is study-ing," said Cindy. "I think she plays extremely well considering that she is on a wheelchair and has limited move-ment," Cindy added. Cindy graduated from Bethel in 1975 with a double major in church music and education. She said she decided not to go into teaching so she could continue playing the organ. Besides, "my job allows me time to practice, teach and perform." remove the sculpture during the Festival of Christmas. "The reactions confirm that people understand it only one way—pornographic, dirty book-stores," said Luckman. "Jeff is not working with that; rather he takes one beyond." When Luckman first saw Peep City he commented, "I was shocked. It looks out of place on this campus. That may reflect what I expected to see at Bethel." Jeff commented, "I'm glad for the response. People are think-ing; they're being stimulated. I may not be happy and may not think some of their comments are just, but I'm really glad people are responding." "My real love is playing the organ in church," said Cindy who is • also the organist for Salem Covenant Church. Cindy also likes to sew, cook and read. Besides the handicapped lady, Cindy has 14 other students. Playing the organ for others is Cindy's favorite type of Christian service. But she also believes that by being a secretary she can minister to students. "The music department is hard for some students to go through," Cindy explained, "I feel I am someone the students can turn to." Cindy said her job is to sched-ule and coordinate most activities that go through the department. "I also do unofficial advising," said Cindy, "and help students register for ,,private music les-sons." Every other Wednesday, Cindy takes lessons from Dr. Robert Thomas of St. Olaf. "I enjoy my lessons for many reasons," said Cindy, "but most of all, I enjoy taking them in the beautiful Boe Memorial chapel." Though Cindy. expressed satis-faction with her job she admitted that there were other things she would like to do. "I hope to go back to school," said Cindy, "once I get enough money." "I like the Twin-Cities so I may go to the U of M," said Cindy, "but it's not something I'm de-finite about." Cindy plans to get her masters in either fine arts or in church music. Cindy believes that if it wasn't for God she would not have her job. "It just so happened that I graduated when the job opened .up," said Cindy, "I was lucky enough to have the necessary secretarial skills." Cindy said she enjoys her work because of the students and the faculty. "I really don't know all of the work that pertains to my job," said Cindy, "there is something new to do everyday." On Dec. 15 Cindy will be presenting a 40- minute recital at the First Baptist Church in St. Paul. The recital is a part of a series of recitals to be held at the church during Decem-ber.

"People peep at life through TV, books etc.," he said. "They are living at a distance. Perhaps they are afraid. Maybe, to look at real life or to see life in another way would be too much for some." Luckman indicated that the display was not meant to shock or offend anyone. But it does offend some people. Many have expressed their feel-ings through the Senate's Beef Board.

The tall, slender man's face reflects Southeast Asia, where he worked 23 years as a translation consultant and missionary to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. He joined the linguistics department this fall. "The focus of my professional life changed when I came to Bethel. I am enjoying the challenge of reorienting my think-ing to teaching college students. Learning to teach well is a time-consuming process," Smalley said. Smalley sees his work at Bethel as a different kind of ministry. "It's another creative service for the Lord," he said. His job as a translation con-sultant involved selecting and training translators for United Bible Societies. Linguistic and anthropological research served as a basis for teaching translation principles to Bible translators. "I left Bible society work for two reasons. I didn't want to return to Asia, and I sensed that I had done my part there. The re-maining work wasn't particularly innovative and was primarily to keep existing projects in opera-tion," he said. "Bethel was a rather attractive alternative and the opportunity to work with Dr. Don Larson again was inviting." Smalley and Lar-son have written a book together and have been friends for many years. Bethel interests Smalley be-cause, "I think this college is stronger than other Christian colleges in linguistics, anthro-pology and cross-cultural com-munications." "The linguistics department doubles with my coming," Smalley said with a chuckle. "We can now offer a wider variety of courses and be more flexible. We have included another course level by the addition of Linguistic Skills." "We are trying to focus on the more practical aspects of lingui-stics, rather than the theories. We believe that fits better with the liberal arts pattern," Smalley added. Since Smalley's parents were Arden.

After graduation, Smalley became a part of the Wycliffe Training Program at Columbia University. He received his doctorate in an-thropological linguistics at Columbia. Smalley then became a mis-sionary. He served in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, where he wrote systems for languages. In his spare moments Smalley has several projects underway, including two books. One book is about the structure of communi-cation and the other about lingui-stics diversity and national unity in Thailand. Smalley enjoys tinkering on cars and gardening. Professional reading, science fiction fantasy, popular studies of modern issues and novels with cultural emphasis are avidly read by Smalley. Smalley and his wife have three children.

CHAPEL SCHEDULE Monday Christmas concert Tuesday Pastor. Spickelmier Wednesday- Saturday Finals Happy New Year! by Jim Torgerson Earlier this year the proposed resurrection of KABY was arou-sing a considerable amount of in-terest in the student body. And, since the "Nikked Brick" days of early November, the ever pre-eminent arrival of the '78-79 Roster has likewise received a good deal of your attention and interest. Hopefully, I will be able to answer some of the questions many of you have been asking about what is happening with KABY and, now that the Roster has been published, what happened to it. KABY is still tentatively scheduled to go on the air some-by Jay Russell "We hope to have the new dorms named by the time they're completed, or else by the fall of 1979," President Carl Lundquist said. Lundquist said that if suitable names are not found for the dorms, then temporary names will be given. No plans have yet been made to give the dorms permanent names. According to Lundquist, the Arden Hills residence and the -townhouses complexes "aren't officially named. They were con-veniently applied but are still open to permanent names. We want more distinctive names that perpetuate our heritage." He said the college buildings may possibly be renamed, too. Lundquist said that possible names will emerge from Bethel's history, building donors or from biblical names. He said that at the time second term. Our attempts to begin broadcasting earlier were stymied by lack of an advi-sor and insufficient space. Fur-thermore, we needed time to carefully define and determine the policy and programming for KABY. These concerns should be re-solved by February. A couple of qualified individuals have indi-cated an interest in serving as advisor to the station's staff. With the completion of the addition to the LRC, we anticipate having sufficient room to broad-cast. And hopefully, we will have developed a policy statement and program guidelines by then. As some of you already know, the Roster was delayed at the present time, there are no build-ings on campus with biblical names. The seminary residences are named after people with signifi-cant influence at Bethel. The Wingblade residence is named after Dr. Henry Wingblade, the second president of the college and seminary. Danielson residence bears the name of the Rev. Walfred Daniel-son, first dean of Bethel Junior College, and Widen residence is named after Dr. Wilford F. Widen, M.D., a leader in the development of Bethel's Arden Hills campus. The Turnwall residence is named after the Rev. William Turnwall, former secretary of home missions in the Baptist General Conference, and Wess-man residence bears the name of the Rev. Maurice "Duff" Wess-printer and binders for over a month. By now you have probably seen how poorly it was printed. We have arranged with the printer to have it entirely re-printed. The present version will serve as an interim directory until the reprinted copy is completed six-seven weeks from now. We regret the delay in the initial delivery of the Roster as well as the poor quality of the present version. Hopefully, the final product will justify our wait-ing. KABY and the Roster are both the responsibility of the Com-munication Board. If you have any questions or comments about either, we would appreciate your input. man, who provided pastoral lead-ership and ministry to the com-munity. The Chalberg missionary resi-dence was named after Ewald Chalberg, a medical doctor in Minneapolis who purchased and financed the old Chalberg mis-sionary residence on Como Ave-nue. According to Lundquist, a con-test was once held to name the Arden Hills residence, but noth-ing emerged from it. "There were a lot of suggestions," he said, "but we didn't feel comfortable with any of them." "There is a good possibility that the historic names of Edgren, Hagstrom and Bodien will be used on new campus," Lundquist said. The names come from pro-minent leaders in Bethel's early history. Edgren dormitory bears the name of John Alexis Edgren, founder of Bethel Seminary. Hagstrom is named after G. Arvid Hagstrom, the first presi-dent of Bethel College and Sem-inary, and Bodien dormitory bears the name of Mrs. Margreta Bodien, a prominent leader in establishing a women's residence on old campus. Lundquist said that "the auth-ority to name the dorms rests with the president's office, but choos-ing the names will be done with a lot of consultation."

Bethel shot only 21 per cent from the field and 31 per cent from the free throw line. "The game was not worth-less," said Coach Kathy Nevins, "because we learned a lot from it.

Round-ing out the upper weight classes are transfers Mark Swanson at 177 and Richard Hodge at heavy-weight. Newcomers include Tom Schrepel at 126, Greg Widmer at 134, and Wayne Reeves at 142. "We're a young team with three freshman and only one senior. But they're all capable of having a winning season," said Klostreich. Heinsch, Swanson, Hodge, and both Holmgrens have each won their first two matches of the Miller may keep her out for a few weeks. Bethel came back after their first loss to down Macalester 68-39. Shooting percentages were upped to 44 per cent from the field and 66 per cent at the free throw line. The Royals were able to handle the Macalester press effectively, and an excellent zone defense in the second half contained Mac's best shooters. "The team can really work to-gether," said Coach Nevins, "and it's a good feeling just knowing that." Bethel controlled the boards as Beth Karsjens had 16 rebounds, Joann Griffin had 12, and Deb Sension brought down 11. Kars-jens also led the scoring with 21 points, Cindi Ramm followed with 17, and Sension had 12. The Royal's first home game is tomorrow night at 7 p.m. with Dr. Martin Luther College. Their next game is Jan. 4 when they host Northwestern at 7 p.m. young season. "Our goals are to have a winning season and place six or seven in the conference meet. We expect to do much better than last Led by freshman Scott Felt-man, the Royal hockey team rolled to its first win of the sea-son, downing Rochester Com-munity College 7-3. Feltman scored three goals and added an assist to up his season total to five goals, tops on the team. Chuck Engberg added two power play goals in the first period for Bethel. Engberg's goals were the only scores for either team in the opening period. Mark Barton made it 3-0 54 seconds into the second period on assists from Bill Ostlund and Tom Correll. Less than one-half minute later, Felt-man scored his first tally, the game winner, from Greg Correll. Rochester rallied briefly, scor-ing power play and short-handed goals to narrow the margin to 4-2. Feltman's final two goals, seven seconds apart, made the score 6-2 late in the middle period and all but sealed Rochester's fate. Tom Correll finished the scor-ing for Bethel midway through the final period with a power play goal. The Royals outshot Rochester 37-23 and seemed to be in control from the outset. The game was marred by a large number of penalties. In all, the referee handed out 40 min-utes of minor penalities plus two game misconducts. Bethel goalie George Fraser will be forced to sit out a game because of his part in study skills, cont. from page 8 now until Christmas vacation in the Student Affairs Office.

But the 88-79 win over the Falcons may prove costly for the Royals because of a knee injury to fresh-man forward Randy Moberg. The Royals jumped to a corn-manding early lead on the strength of hot shooting by Dave Blanchard and Ray Miller. Scott Wilson controled the ball with 17 rebounds for the game. Capitalzing on a shovel play down the lane, which seemed to confuse the River Falls defense, the Royals held a 21-point lead at halftime. In the second half, Bethel con-centrated on defense, and River Falls turned to a full-court press and began nibbling away at the lead. Led by phenomenal play by Al Rudd, a 7-foot transfer from the U of Wisconsin, the Falcons fought back until, with about two min-utes to play, Bethel's defense then showed a lot of poise in holding off the Falcons.

Tonight the hockey team travels south to take on St. Mary's. Tomorrow they return home to battle rival Hamline at 8:00 at Columbia Area. Bethel pulled away to win 88-79. Bragg said, however, "The victory was a costly one because we lost Moberg indefinitely, and Miller was banged up." The loss of Moberg was crucial in the Moorhead game as center Scott Wilson played only 15 min-utes due to foul trouble, and Moorhead's strength is in its tall back line. Bragg said Ray Miller played a great game coming off an injury and pulled down 17 rebounds. Bethel took an amazing 91 shots in the game but shot only 39 per cent from the field. The Royals sank three more field goals than Moorhead, but con-stant foul trouble accounted for the Moorhead win. Moberg's injury hurt the Roy-als against Moorhead, and Coach Bragg said, "It is a real blow to us as long as he's out." He could return in four to five weeks at the earliest, but may be out all season. Moberg's replacement, Steve Carrigan, is currently re-covering from a broken hand. Bethel begins its MIAC con-ference schedule tomorrow night at St. Olaf at 8 p.m. The Oles are considered by Bragg to be one of the conference favorites along with Augsburg, St. Mary's and St. Johns. Bragg is disappointed with the teams record thus far, and feels it can be a first-division team in the MIAC.

Transcript | Doug Barkey captures the advent of winter on pages 6 and 7. The Christmas Spirit pages 5, 8 Bethel College St. Paul, MN Vol. 54 No. 10 December 8, 1978 Faulty Rosters arrive , replacements promised by Jay Russell Last week the Bethel Roster was given to students and was re-ceived with mixed reactions. We talked to Greg Kaihoi, Bethel student and photographer for the Roster, and asked him about some of the production problems this year. Q.What were your duties in producing the Roster? Kaihoi: I wasn't involved with any of the planning or production of the Roster, but as a Bethel student and employee of Phodale, I became familiar with how the Roster was being produced. My job was to take the pictures for the Roster. Q: Why did the Roster come out so late? Kaihoi: Originally Phodale Photography, the producers, had planned to release the Roster Oct. 15, but to do this Phodale couldn't guarantee that all Bethel students would be in the Roster with 100, per cent accuracy. The contract between Bethel and Phodale was misunderstood, because the stu-dent affairs office was under the by Anne Rosenthal The college relations office is the first place a prospective Bethel student encounters. A prospective student must meet a number of requirements which demonstrate that he has the necessary ingredients to be a successful student at Bethel. The applicant must be ranked in the top half of his high school class and must also submit a PSAT, SAT or ACT test score. Merri Lee Hipp, recruitment coordinator, said a student's class rank carries more weight than his test score does, because it indi-cates performance and discipline in the classroom over four years, whereas a test score shows per-formance on one day. Each applicant is required to write a faith statement, which conveys his commitment to Jesus Christ. A weak faith statement will cause the committee to deny the admission of a student. Admissions also asks for three references—one from an adult friend, a pastor and a high impression that the Roster would be 100 per cent accurate, even if it took a little longer to produce. When Phodale discovered that the student affairs office wanted a roster that was 100 per cent accurate, they had to wait for a computer printout of information on every Bethel student. Phodale then had to compare their records with the printout, correcting any errors that were made. This process delayed produc-tion of the Roster, so the Roster wasn't ready for printing when the deadline arrived. Then, when the Roster was ready for printing, it took six weeks to print because the printers were tied up with other work. Q: Why was Phodale concern-ed with putting the Roster out early if it wasn't totally accurate? Kaihoi: In past years the stu-dent affairs office has produced the Roster, and their goal has been to have it in the hands of the students a week before Nik is ag. Phodale's philosophy was to get the Roster in the hands of the stu-dents as soon as possible, even if a few students weren't included. They had the students fill out a school counselor or teacher. Two out of the three must be positive recommendations. When the three members of the committee—Paul Finlay, re-gistrar; Philip Kimball, assistant director of admissions; and Mack Nettleton, director of student af-fairs— read an applicant's file, they look for the student's poten-tial to develop academically, socially and spiritually. The entire committee has to concur in its decision before a student is admitted or denied. "I believe we have a comprehensive admissions policy," said Kimball. "Instead of one person making the decision, all three of us debate over each file." Students who are awarded participation grants in art, drama, music or sports are evaluated by the same criteria as all other applicants—academic perfor-mance, faith statement and refer-ences, said Hipp. Those who receive grants must demonstrate their financial need by filling out the family financial statement (FFS). They also need card when their pictures were taken, and this information was to be put in the Roster. Since a lot of students didn't bother to have their pictures taken, Phodale didn't have any information on them. That's why some students would have been left out. About 60 students, or 3 per cent of the student body would have been excluded from the Roster, and many of these were part-time students. Phodale fig-ured that these students could be included in the Roster supple-ment that comes out second semester. Q: Why was the quality of printing so bad? Kaihoi: The fault was not in the photography, because the pic-tures turned out fine. A lot of the pictures were blacked out or par-tially blacked out because of a quality control error in the print-ing. The streaking was caused by roller marks. This was evident primarily in the student section. The faculty section turned out pretty good. Q: Why were most of the pic-tures taken at such a long dis-tance? to secure a recommendation from a teacher or coach. When an applicant is denied admittance into Bethel, he re-ceives a letter stating the reason for the denial, and is given the right to appeal the committee's decision. by Mark Rentz An honors program for high potential students at Bethel may be proposed and implemented by next fall. Last year the faculty develop-ment committee at Bethel wrote the Lilly Foundation and received a grant of $100,000 over a three year period to improve faculty developments. The honors pro-gram study is a part of this improvement of academic quality. A six-member faculty commit-tee is currently making a com-prehensive study of existing hon- Kaihoi: Phodale wanted the pictures taken further away to give more of a portrait-type look rather than a mug shot type of picture. Another reason was be-cause some of the pictures in last year's roster were taken at such a ors programs at other colleges. The committee is also assessing how to implement such a program at Bethel as well as what the program should consist of to be successful. Dr. James E. Johnson, chair-man of the history department, and coordinator of the honors committee commented that, "People with high potential should be given an opportunity to fly. Everyone who enters college is put in the same stew pot and we can't identify those who are well beyond some of the freshman experiences. "The purpose of an honors pro-gram," said Johnson, "is to pro-close distance that it was hard to identify the person. By showing a part of the body, it would be a little easier to identify the stu-dent. cont.. on page 3 vide an opportunity for highly motivated and/or gifted students to pursue a special course of study suitable to their interests and abilities. Honors courses will substitute for specified core re-quirements." "Our athletic department," continued Johnson, "goes out to recruit good athletes who can pass, kick, and run with a foot-ball. Their rationale is to have a better football team. We should recruit good honor potential. It will elevate the whole academic community. cont. on page 4 Admission policy Prospective students undergo trials Honors program for next fall being studied TWO HAVE MASKS ONE ONE...

Quoth Wise the Second, "Pretty find, The picture ye have brought. But scoff I at thy narrow mind. Your story's long been left behind. Today's Yule lies in what is bought.

What concerns me most about that election, as it should concern all Minnesotans, is that Mr. Quie interjected reli-gious judgments into a political campaign for his own personal gain. 1. Quie volunteers leafleting cars (including ours) on church parking lots the Sunday before election with misrepresentations about my husband (keeping in mind that Mr. Quie announced his candidacy back in August 1977, yet he waited until the Sunday before to distribute the relgious ads—allowing no time for a reply). 2. On the night before election, newspaper ads on Quie's behalf asking for votes "for the great Christian for our next Governor" (is one to assume then that people practicing Judaism and other great faiths should be excluded as candidates for the governship?). 3. Thousands of letters mailed in the final days of the campaign with obvious religious overtones. 4. Inferences throughout that Quie is a Christian and Rudy is not, including Mr. Quie calling my husband "Crazy Rudy" and "Rubberstamp Rudy." Rudy has been an active Chris-tian since childhood. He doesn't believe in using religion as a political ploy. The standard Web-ster difinition of a Christian is, To the editor: Cold, three-day-old water plugs the sink. Pots and pans contain-ing anything from sticky macaroni and peanut butter remain piled high for "someone else" to do. These are typical conditions of kitchens in girls' dorms at Bethel. It's disturbing to me to see this type of filth in a Christian col-lege, and equally disturbing be- "Christian - having qualities demonstrated and taught by Jesus Christ, as love, kindness, humility—a decent, respectable person." My husband conducted a clean, honest campaign, based on the issues. Mr. Quie, in this cam-paign, carried a Bible in one hand and a bucket of mud in the other. Who then is the true Christian? Sincerely, Lola Perpich cause it involves girls. What kind of housekeepers are these girls going to be? Have we forgotten that "cleanliness is next to godli-ness?" What happened to our inte-grity? Boxes of cereal, milk, cheese and fruit "magically" dis-appear from refrigerators. It's one thing to share and have a community refrigerator, but an-other thing to improvise the idea that we share (steal) its contents. It is possible to remedy this disgusting situation if everyone participates to work toward a cleaner, safer, fresher-smelling kitchen in their dorm. Next time any of us girls in the dorms attempt to bake something and leave a mess, or decide to quiet our grumbling stomachs by "snitching Sally's pickles," I hope we will think twice about our actions. Don't forget we are Christians and are supposed to be living examples for others at all times. Thus, don't forget the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Sincerely, Sandee Barton Christian confronted on practical living issue page two Saucy Lynn Faith poses for a portrait to send to "The World Who's Who of Women" publishers. Does Bethel mean sheltered people? monest goodness Non-clone defies syndrom, chews fingernails by Shelly Nielsen I didn't even know what a clone was until one was pointed out to me in the hall the other day. "It" smelled of Crest and wore a "Star Wars" T-shirt. "It" carried a half-eaten egg-salad sandwich and moaned something about getting only three hours of sleep. "It" was everywhere! We face a massive identity crisis. Bethel "groupies" especially are in danger of losing their individualism through an extremely popular, persistant, and rather boring picture of us maintained by "members of the outside." This Bethelite clone gets monthly crew cuts, conscien-tiously chews Sen-Sen, and clings religiously to a wardrobe similar to that of the '65 graduates' of Pillsbury college. However false this portrait may be, we yet are threatened with the possibility of blending - homo-genizing - into one uninteresting mass. Ask yourself, "What is it that distinguishes me from Joe Schmuck on the street?" If, like me, you must answer that it's nothing more impressive than your distant relation to Burl Ives, this expose is addressed to you! It's time to break out of this routine mold and become some-thing different, outrageous, and, if needs be, outcast. Fortunately, we have an ex-ample. The age of strange and wonderful has not yet passed completely from this earth. Resi-ding among us is the epitome of courageous "weirdness." Here is uniqueness personified! One of our very own faculty members has been nominated for an award that will separate him from the commoners and brand his name in the annals of Bethelite history. The honor arrived undramati-cally via a common red, white, and blue air mail envelope. Nothing would have distin- Dear editor, I guess I'm bringing up a very volatile issue by criticizing the music department when ad-mittedly I am at best a rank amateur musician. However, it is for precisely this reason that I see this year's Festival of Christmas as a dangerous departure from traditional concerts sponsored by Bethel College. I do not speak of the content since I am in no position to judge. What bothers me is the music department's insistence on a pro-fessional presentation instead of allowing students to present our program. At first it did not seem like my place to criticize a department I'm guished the parcel from the sheaves of other unimportant documents but for the word "ur-gent" printed in block letters at the corners. L.M. Fauth ripped it open with trembling, hopeful fin-gers. Inside was a personal letter be-ginning: "Dear Biographee:" Now it seems that the editors of a volume called "The World Who's Who of Women" are clamoring for the personal bio-graphy of Dr. Lynn Fauth, till now, unobstrusive, only slightly radical professor in the English department at Bethel. Understandably, his first re-actions to the letter were not wholly positive. "I felt tacky and used," he stated, miffed at what he considered an objectionable attitude of "sexist publishers." However, further consideration of the opportunity to gee his photo appear in the fifth annual The W.W.W. of W. repealed pre-mature rashness. He plans to purchase his first edition of the $49.50 text (not including $4.50 postage) with the change he collects from beneath couch cush-ions at Doc's. Lynn, who describes himself as a "brainy blond" claims such sought-after talents as reading religious poetry cynically and teaching W.A.R. He also remains admirably modest and admits to some negative traits that may mar his standing among other nomi-nees. "I chew my fingernails," he reported, twisting a corner of his plaid shirt, "and I have a tenden-cy to interpret poems in a Freud-ian manner." He does feel that competition could pose a bit of difficulty, especially after the review com-mittee receives his picture. "Electrolysis hasn't been work-ing," he admitted bluntly. Asked whether he was con-cerned that success might harm his marriage, he jokingly answered, "Yeah, when my wife, Toni, finds out I'm a woman." not involved in, but after speak-ing to many Festival members, decided that many feel the same way; they just don't feel free to express their frustration. When activities intended to promote the school are scheduled for the benefit of the students and friends of the school, should the students be allowed to be the main participants or should we "import?" My opinion is that profession-als are nice, but many of our friends can do almost as good a job and can certainly praise God as well as any more experienced artists. Even teachers, as close as they may be to the students, have no right to exempt the students We see the sort of problems Lynn Fauth, and every coura-geous soul like him, must endure in order to nobly express his individuality. Here is a man not afraid to brave opposition, ridicule, and the especially cruel jeers of his departmental associates. One surly, sarcastic fellow wanted to know whether Lynn's blush was natural. This type of intolerance indi-cates the hum-drum existence Dear editor: Over a piece of Mam Rosa's pepperoni pizza, Josephy Theo-dore Maltese expressed to me his impressions of Bethel College. Joe, being aquainted with very few Bethel students, has ideas that have not been relished by any "insiders." Maltese, who has only looked over Bethel one time in his recent from roles that could be handled by them. The basic question is, will God be more glorified if we give him the best (professionals) or our best as a student body? Sincerely, Tom Buxton roster cont. from page 1 Q: Will the phone numbers and addresses be changed for the old campus residents moving to new campus? Kaihol: No, that information can't be corrected because the printer has agreed to reprint the Roster exactly as it appears in the original form. If any changes most Bethelites—a conglomer-ation of dull students, faculty, and staff- -will content themselves with. Dr. Lynn M. Fauth has transcended this boring mode and will reap the benefits of his courage in the impending infamy he will enjoy. In an unselfish and enthusiastic desire to initiate this trend toward blatant individuality at Bethel, Lynn unhesitatingly recommends a list of other faculty members he deems possible candidates for existence, has a very limited view. However, I found his com-ments most interesting and hum-orous. As my teeth were attempting to cut the swiss cheese on my pizza, Joe remarked, "I thought it was strange to have an armed guard at the front gate." I quickly informed Mr. Maltese that the guard was armed with merely a flashlight. Obviously, a seed of "being sheltered," as Joe put it, has been planted in Joe's mind. "What is your definition of sheltered in this context?" "I think the students are sheltered by the way they keep up themselves from what is really on the outside," Joe explained. He went on to say, "I started to look around for barbed wire fen-ces." were made, we would probably have to pay for it. The address changes might be printed in the Roster supplement next semes-ter. Q: When will the reprinted Roster come out? Kabob The new rosters will be out some time next year, but I'm not sure when. awards: Jean Glader, Roberta Weaver, Chrissy Weintz, and Gerri Healy. With this type of leadership and ingenuity, perhaps we too may overcome our glaring "cloneship" to become garrishly noticeable and outlandish indivi-duals. Does Joe have a point? Are we too sheltered at Bethel? Do we bring it upon ourselves? Do we like the idea of being sheltered? Clearly we can see that Joe was going a little overboard with his descriptions of Bethel. However, do we agree that he has a point? When people shelter them-selves from the people they wish to stay away from, for various reasons, such as, life styles diff-erences, not only do they with-hold their personal influence on these people, but they also be-come a more self-centered type of person. They also lose the challenge of sharing their faith in various ways with people of other faiths, or no faith at all. Thus, they become colder and colder to outsiders needs. There are solutions to this concept. One might take an hour out of their time to visit a children's home or nursing home. A concerned person might also wish to share their faith in various ways simply by living a Christmas like life as described in the Bible. Here is a chance to be creative for your Lord!

The Oregon Extension is a one semester, inter-disciplinary, liberal arts program, sponsored by Trinity College, and con-ducted in an old lumber mill town in southern Oregon's Cascade Mountains, just outside Ashland, Oregon. The course of study runs from August 26 to December 15, 1979, and offers 15 hours of 300-level credit in a variety of humanities, social sciences and sciences. Emphasis is placed on independent scholarly pursuit and small group inter-action. The goal of the faculty is to help you equip yourself to be a thinking Christian in today's society. Study is under-taken in the context of ongoing community relationships, common work and common worship, extra-curricular learn-ing— a visit to San Francisco, a backpack in Three Sisters Wilderness, a strenuous climb of Mt. Shasta. Costs are some-what less than on most Christian college campuses, and registration through your own school is possible. Juniors and seniors with 3.0 (B) or better are given priority. For complete information, write Dr. James Titus, Oregon Ex-tension, 15097 Hwy 66, Ashland, OR 97520. "Passages" winners collect laud, currency by Sandee Barton "Here comes the caramel man," a student comments as 73- year-old Royal Bloom hurries to-ward him. The lean, silver-haired Bloom then proudly presents his friend with one of his homemade, mouth-watering caramels. Bloom was professor of psy-chology, statistics, and director of testing at Bethel College for 23 years. He presently volunteers his services at Bethel's business office, tabulating time sheets and working out payrolls. Dr. Roy "Doc" Dalton, pro-fessor in history, was a student of Royal Bloom a "few" years ago. Some classes Doc took from Royal include educational psychology, general psychology, abnormal psychology and applied psycho-logy. Doc comments about Royal as he reflects back to his collegiate days: "I learned more from the model he set as a good teacher than from any other source. He sincerely cared for his students." But perhaps Bloom is better known as "the caramel man" than for the volunteer work he does in the business office. For years he has blessed many mouths and stomachs with his chewy goodies. Caramel-making takes place in Bloom's apartment where his wife often helps with the pro-duction. The traditional time for making the delectable treats be-gins right before Halloween and continues until March. "I like to make them," Royal (always dressed in a business suit) proudly comments. "I enjoy giving candy away. I don't make them for myself," he continues, "because I hardly ever eat any, but I've got to lick the pan." Last year Bloom treated every member of the Concert Choir and Women's Choir to a box of 12 caramels each, before the choirs went on spring tour. The Blooms make about 40 batches of caramels annually, but this year they are not expecting to make quite as many. There are approximately 180 to 200 cara-mels in each batch. Every piece is individually wrapped with wax paper. An 8-inch sheet of wax paper is divided into 16 sections and each section, an inch long, is then used for each caramel. The cooking process takes only about 35 min-utes, but to wrap one batch takes about an hour-and-a-half. Students sometimes help with the wrapping, and the Blooms especially appreciate this help before and during the Christmas holidays, when they usually dis-tribute most of their caramels. Royal's candy-making business first began before World War II when his wife showed him the recipe from a friend whose hus-band had developed the candy-making skill. He began making caramels for friends and relatives, but during the war years (while stationed in Washington D.C.) he began giv-ing caramels to men being trans-ferred overseas. When he began teaching at Bethel in 1947, he shared his tantalizing sweets with students in his psychology and education classes, gave caramels as re-wards in statistics, and sent gift boxes to alumni all over the world. Royal's candy business has ex-panded now, and he even distri-butes caramels to students and faculty as he passes them in the halls. "I work in the business office," Rebecca Butler comments, "so Royal is a good friend of mine. He often brightens up my day when he tucks one of his delicious (but fattening) caramels into my pock-ets." Gardening is also one of Roy-al's hobbies, and tomatoes are his favorite. The Blooms live In an apartment, so they rent a plot of land from the county for their garden. Royal also works at the Greater St. Paul Volunteer Office two to three days out of the month. He is also currently vice-president of one of Roseville's senior citizen clubs. Royal is listed in "Who's Who in the Midwest," "Who's Who in American Education" and has written a chapter in "Personnel Research and Test Development in the Bureau of Navy Personnel" published by the Princeton Uni-versity Press. by Shelly Nielsen "Passages" magazine's annual talent contest is over. The word and winners are out. Top entries, along with other exalted contri-butions will appear in the spring edition of "Passages." An example of winning visual work is previewed here. Doug Barkey took his photograph and called it "Sharing a Sunset." Bruce Johnson, a senior, pro-duced the slide series on ceramics that won second. Remarkably, a photo of the swamp near the circle lot was entered by Edith Harvey and won third place. Honors, cont. from page 1 Johnson observed that the hon-ors program will have to be specifically designed for Bethel because of the college's size and its integration of faith and learn-ing. The committee is in the process of developing the philosophy for the program, but Johnson was convinced that whatever program is finally presented will be workable at Bethel. "It would also enhance our Christian witness. We not only need Christian witness, but also an academic witness. We need to say that we as Christians are serious about our academics." The honors committee is made up of: James Johnson, professor of history; Jeannine Bohlmeyer, In the literary division, senior Daniel Miller took first with an autobiographic essay. Second place winner Scott Barnard, a junior not attending Bethel this semester, submitted a poem. Transfer student Ann Taylor was awarded third prize for her per-sonal essay.

"What? Where are we?" her sleepy sister asked. "Well, we're about 30 miles from home, and we're off the road. I can't tell what's the road and what's not with all this snow everywhere, and it's dark. You would think they'd plow these interstates, at least." "Maybe everyone is taking a holiday. Who wants to be out plowing snow on Christmas Eve?" Tina said. "Oh, I wish we were home!" Cindy said. "But there's no sense moaning about that now. We're just going to have to get unstuck and get home before Santa Claus beats us there." "Do you think we could push the car out?" Tina suggested. "I don't think so, but I'll have a look. You come over and steer, and I'll try to push us out." Tina obeyed, and Cindy got out of the car. The wind was picking up, and it chilled her thoroughly. The snow was beautiful though, falling softly in the night, blanketing the road and the ground. She looked up into the sky, searching for a star to remind her of the first Christmas. All she could see were a million dancing snowflakes, falling on her bare face and melting in her hair. She walked around to the back of the car. "Okay, put it in drive," she shouted at Tina. The wheels spun, but the car didn't budge. Cindy walked back to the car, and scooted in beside Tina. "Brrr, it's freezing out there. I don't think we can get very far, unless we get about ten strong guys to help us. We may need a tow, we're pretty far from the road, and we're pretty stuck too. It's a good thing we have plenty of gas, or we just might freeze to death if we had to sit in a cold car..." "Did you say it's only 30 more miles till we get home?" Tina asked. "That's only about a half an hour's drive in the summer." "But this isn't exactly summer. I don't know when we'll get home, maybe never. Wait a min-ute, I think I see some head-lights." Cindy dashed out of the car and ran to the road. But by the time she got to the road the truck had passed by. Defeated, she returned to the car. "It will be too hard to go running back and forth every time a car comes," she said. "But how else will we get out of here?" Tina asked. "I can go out-side." "No, you have a cold. We'll just wait and see if any help comes soon—maybe a wrecker will come by to tow us out." Two cars passed by without stopping, even when Cindy ran out to the road and waved her arms. Either they couldn't see her, or they were in too much of a hurry to get home for Christmas, Cindy thought. Back in the car, Cindy said, "Well, we still have enough gas to get home, but the tank won't stay full forever. Why doesn't anyone stop?" "No one has time for us, or room for us, I guess. Just like Jesus," Tina mused. "What are you talking about?" "Well, you know the story. Mary and Joseph couldn't find anywhere to spend the night. No one had room for them, and no one could take time to make them comfortable. I guess we can i-dentify with them right now, right?" Tina wrapped her coat more tightly around her. "Yes, I guess you're right. Mary and Joseph were stranded, too. And to think, no one had any room for the Christ child to be born! They didn't have a place for God to enter the world!" "Isn't that incredible?" Tina said. Then she glanced at the rear view mirror. "Wait, I see head-lights again!" Cindy jumped out of the car, and waved her arms when she got to the road. For a minute, she thought the driver would plow her over, but then he slowed down and stopped. by Rick Chapman "Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la la la, 'tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la. The season of yule has arrived again. Was there every any doubt? Without question the advent of Christmas has come at a most significant time, especially for the Bethel student. Regardless of the academic dilemmas which pre-sently loom before nearly every-one, Christmas brings with it happiness and joy. This phenomenon is well docu-mented by the remarks of a certain Bethel girl: "Who cares if I have three book reviews, a 20-page research paper, two speeches and an oral report re-maining to accomplish in addition to finals—it's Christmas!" Indeed, Christmas is one of the most influential occasions of the entire year. Because of its impact, multi-tudes flock to the shopping esta-blishments to exchange their sav-ings for an assortment of gifts, homes are decorated with bright- "Looks like you need some help," said the man as he jumped out of his cab. "Yes, we're pretty stuck. Do you think you could help me push us out of here?" "Well, I'm not sure that would do any good. Like you said, you're really stuck. But you're in luck, I've got a chain in the truck and I think it's long enough to pull you out of there. I'll hook it up to your car and see if it will work." Cindy jumped up and down, partly because she was so ex-cited, and partly because she was freezing. As soon as the trucker had hooked them up, she hopped back into the car. "I think we're home free," she told Tina. She put the car in drive once again, and slowly, the truck was able to pull 'them back onto the road. As soon as they were back on the road, Cindy ran out to the truck. "Thanks a lot for your help," she said to the driver. "No problem," he said. "Have a merry Christmas." He was down the road before Cindy thought to ask him if they could pay him for his trouble. "Maybe this will be a good Christmas after all," Cindy said as they headed down the road once again. "Look, the snow is letting up! We may get home before too long." "Oh, we'll get home," Tina responded.

What is this phenomenon of Christmas? The term is a deriva-tive of an Old English phrase meaning "Christ's mass," which was first used in the 11th century. The December 25 date was set in the fourth century by the Church at Rome. A Roman pagan celebration was already held on this day. Perhaps the Church purposed to turn the people from this pagen celebration to a day in which the Christ-child was adored. Christmas, a day which was set aside to remember the Christ has developed historically through a mixture of various pagan ele-ments, both Roman and from the practices of later converts in the northern Germanic areas of Europe. So from various sources Christ-mas has come down as a tradition to a present position of tremen-dous influence. I still remember my favorite Christmas. It took place in the mountains of Baguio, a city in north central Luzon in the Philip-pines. The family was together. Evenings were spent sitting about the hearth of a roaring fire. We children listened to stories that our father read to us. I cannot recall whatever mater-ial gifts were given or received that Christmas—only that it was a truly special experience sharing gifts of love and life. That experience demonstrated to me that the significance of Christmas did not consist of material things. And yet, during this Christmas season, many will not even have the warmth and presence of fam-ily and friends with whom to share and rejoice, nor even the rudimentary requirements of life. There are the hungry, the sick, the widows, the dispossessed, the prisoners, and other outcasts of society, both here and abroad. I think of Georgi Vins, a leader of the Reformed Baptists in the Soviet Union, who is presently in prison because of his unwilling-ness to compromise his commit-ment to Jesus Christ. How radically different his Christmas will be in contrast to mine. What will Christmas mean to him? I imagine that through his suffering Georgi Vins has come to know the joy and spirit of Christ-mas very profoundly, not as a single event in the year, but all - year long. Right from his birth, Christ necessarily looked ahead to the suffering of the cross. He came to die. Vins is now privileged to share in that suffering as a ser-vant of Christ. In Dr. Seuss's "The Gtinch Who Stole Christmas," the Grinch at-tempts to destroy Christmas by taking all the outward mani-festations and symbolic items of the Whos' Christmas. The Grinch failed to understand that their Christmas did not con-sist in these material objects. They sang and rejoiced all the same. If in Georgi Vins' situation, could I remain joyful or could I even celebrate?

What are some of the family `:raditions of Bethel's faculty and administration? Randy Johnson, instructor in philosophy, said, "Each year we get an ornament with the date on it. We have one for each year of our child's life. Aaron is five now." Said Pastor Spickelmier, "Our Christmas is heavily influenced by my wife's semi-Scandinavian background. On Christmas Eve we have a smorgasbord with her family. We have herring, flat-bread, cheese, potato sausage, etc. "On Christmas Eve morning we deliver special gifts to shut-ins and to those who have needs. We take them candy, bread or some-thing that we have made." by Becky Olson A non-credit study skills course has been approved by the dean's administrative council and will be available to all students during interim. Paul Redin and student men-tors generated the new course. It consists of 10 sessions covering the following topics: managing time, taking lecture notes, read-ing textbooks, taking examina-tions, making oral reports, im-proving memory, concentration, scholastic motivation, and inter-personal relations. According to Gerard Laroche, professor of French and Spanish, "It's a time for togetherness, we try to go places together," he went on. - Festival of Christmas, a church with a special program and other programs are regular parts of our holiday. "Before opening our gifts on Christmas morning we have a special devotional period. Every-one is responsible for finding something to read in the Scrip-ture. We discuss it and then we each say five things that we are thankful for. "Music is always a part of our Christmas. My wife plays the piano, my son plays the viola and the saxophone and I play the mouth organ. There is always a lot of singing." Lillian Ryberg, professor of Spanish, said, "On Christmas Eve we open our presents and eat lutefisk. Our family always took a The study skills course should not be confused with Academic Improvement Groups (A.I.G.). This course explores a broad area of study skills, whereas A.I.G. deals specifically with managing time and setting realistic goals. Two sections, each taught by two student mentors, will be offered Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Working around class periods, one section will be off-ered before chapel (9:45-10:45) and the other offered before afternoon sessions (11:55-12:55). Students may register from cont. on page 12 ride in the car to look at the Christmas lights. And we always went: to church on Christmas morning." Associate. Professor of Art Ste-wart "Stu" Luckman asked, "Traditions?" Then continued, "I try my best to avoid lutefisk—I hate it. I'm Irish but my wife is Scandinavian so we celebrate with her family on Christmas Eve. "It's an orgy of cuisine. Swedish smorgasbords are amaz-ing. All that food! "On Christmas day we read the Christmas story, share in grace and devotion and eat oyster soup. Sometimes we have spontaneous slide shows." James Mason, professor of speech and communication, said, "We always buy our tree three or four weeks early. "Each year my wife gives the children a little trinket for their tree. With those they are able to remember special years." Said Olaf Olsen, professor of history, "We have an ethnic tradition because of my Norwe-gian background.

Both students and faculty have input on student faculty commit-tees. There are 12 committees and several other informal ones, each performing a specific func-tion. The Admissions Committee re-views petitions from students who have been turned down for ad-mission to Bethel. "We decide whether the stu-dents should be put on probation or if they should be allowed to take just a few classes for credit," said Lisa Pepper, a sophomore member of the Admissions Committee. "It is a joint decision. We all get a chance to vote." Four students and four faculty members make up the Curri-culum Administrative Committee which approves petitions for new courses suggested by the faculty for next year's programs. "Each teacher submits a schedule for his or her next year's classes," said sophomore Hellen Manning. Copies are given to Tricia Brownlee, assistant to the dean; Paul Finlay, registrar; and to the committee. The committee then expresses its opinion and returns the peti-tion to the dean's office for final decision. "The decision of the dean always stands," said Hellen. Students' petitions for non-standard specializations or changes in exam schedules go to the registrar for first approval. If the registrar approves, the peti-tion goes to the committee. "If we approve, then we let It stand. But a majority vote can override the registrar's decision," said Hellen. The Convocation Administra-tive Advisory Committee plans speakers for convocation pro-grams. "We plan educational things," said Lois Malcolm, a sophomore senator. The Communications Board is an all-student board with a faculty advisor. Alvera Mickelsen, assis-tant professor of journalism, ex-presses her opinions but has no vote. This is the board responsible for the Clarion, Coeval, Passages and KABY. All student media are responsible to the Communi-cations Board for the choosing of staff, editors, policy and budget. Another committee is the Chapel and Spiritual Life Corn-mittee which plans chapel ser-vices for the following year. "The Student Life Committee is in search of a job," said Tannie Woods, student senate president. "It will probably combine with the Judiciary Committee." The Judiciary Committee is the "grievance" committee. For ex-ample, if students feel they were unfairly graded, they can appeal to this committee. The College Relations Policy Committee works in conjucntion with the College Relations Com-mittee. This year they are review-ing enrollment problems. "We are doing a retention study of other private colleges to see what their retention rates are," said Becky Dye, sophomore senator. Other student-faculty commit-tees include the Academic Policy Committee, the Athletic Advisory Committee, the Student Affairs and Policy Committee and the Financial Aid Committee. One of the informal committees is the Housing Advisory Commit. tee. This year they are dealing with problems involved in moving people from old campus, and such things as parking problems at Fountain Terrace. There are about 20 students and faculty on this informal com-mittee. Any student may bring a problem to one of the committee members, who will bring the problem up at the next meeting. "This committee allows me to be involved and personally work on the projects," said Sue. "Not every senator has to be on a student-faculty committee," said Tannie, "but every commit-tee has to have a senator. These committees allow input into Bethel's decision making." by Hellen Manning John Sailhamer is not new to Bethel, but his role is different. He once was a student. Now he is an assistant professor in the biblical and theological studies depart-ment. What brought Sailhamer back to Bethel? "Opportunity," he said. "Bethel has had a longlasting effect on my life. I always wanted to teach here," he said. Sailhamer taught at Biola College and Los Angeles Bible College, both in California. Sailhamer has not stopped stu-dying. He has, since his freshman year at Bethel, received two graduate degrees and is currently working for a Ph.D. at U.C.L.A. He said he enjoys graduate school. "The classes are smaller and the students are highly qualified and more serious than undergraduates," he said. During his years at U.C.L.A. he studied 12 languages. He is writing his doctoral dissertation on ancient near Eastern languages. He would like to teach Hebrew at Bethel. "I want students to have a grasp on Biblical languages," he said. When Sailhamer went to California he thought students would be different. "I don't know exactly what I mean by different. But I'm learning that students are the same everywhere," said Sailhamer. "There is a difference in at-titude toward the instructor here as compared to Biola, though. There was less distance between students and faculty at Biola. Now when I walk into a classroom the students get quiet," Sailhamer said. "I'm not saying that's bad, just different," he explained. Sailhamer met his wife, Patty, at Wheaton College in Illinois. She was on the Campus Crusade for Christ staff. They have two children, David, three, and Betsy, 18 months. Patty picked their home in Mounds View. Sailhamer never saw it until they moved into it. "The inside's great, the lawn is too big, (I know because I have to mow it) but I can't tell you what the outside looks like," he said. "Patty does the bookwork. I tried, but I finally gave the finances to her. Not that she wants to do it, but she's better at it," Sailhamer said. He believes they run a traditional home, "though it may not look like it from what I've told you," he said. "Patty loves homemaking, cooking, sew-ing, and decorating and has no in-tention of working. She also likes kids." Apart from Bethel and his own studying, Sailhamer loves to travel. One summer in the mid-60's he hitchhiked and travelled on the bus around the States and Canada. "I did it just to do it," he said. He especially enjoys traveling by train. by Joy Banta Bethel's top varsity debate team, Mike Emerson and Scott Larson, placed ninth out of 33 teams at Iowa State University. Teams representing 10 states competed in the regional tourna-ment in Ames, Iowa last week-end. Two of Bethel's junior varsity teams also competed. Ira King and Jim Torgerson went 4-4 and Pam Linamen and Ch_ eryl Thomas went 3-5 in the preliminary rounds against 33 junior varsity teams. Mike and Scott made it to the octo-finals losing to only three of the top teams in the region: University of Kansas, North-western University and Illinois State University. "We lost 2-1 by decision to a team who was in the top 50 from Former student returns to join Bible department all over the country last year- Augustana—in octo-finals. It was an excellent round and we thought that we'd won—but so did they," said Mike. Coach Dave Lee said, "I was very pleased with the tourna-ment. It was excellent competi-tion and they all debated very well." Junior varsity debater Ira King said, "I thought we did a fantastic job because the competition was some of the best, if not the best, I've seen all year." As for the tournament overall, Mike said, "It was a significant improvement over our last tour-nament at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill. where we (Scott and I) went 3-5." Bethel's debate teams will not compete again until January. page nine The dance scene from "Amahl" was one of the highlights of this year's Festival of Christmas.

The sculpture piece is on dis-play in the sculpture studio win-dow. Junior Jeff Weissbach made it late last summer. Jeff said the idea came while he was driving in New York City on his way to Whitney Art Museum. He noticed a group of tourists outside an adult bookstore peep-ing at it curiously but staying at a distance, as if they were afraid. Jeff commented, "It amused me, and I saw a metaphor in the situation. by Becky Dye Bethel's Stage Band is reor-ganizing this year with plans to increase its number of per-formances. Under the direction of Chuck Olson, the instrumental director, the band will explore jazz, swing, rock and blues. "This kind of music is indi-genous to America. If done prop-erly, it has a place and can benefit people going into music educa-tion. "Jazz is becoming popular in high schools; people entering education should have experience with this type of music," Olson said. Basically the Stage Band is a new group. Last year it performed at the spring Pops Concert. But it was informally structured until this year. "We would certainly like to play at the Pops Concert this spring." commented Olson. There are also numerous local "This particular piece is a metophor of sorts. At the time I had more specific intentions, but now its implications are much more widespread. The whole idea of 'peeping' has a signifi-cance." Stu Luckman, chairman of the art department and sculpture in-structor said, "Perhaps people approach their own senses from a very unconfident self-conscious point of view. "Many people look at ideas, life and faith almost as if they are merely voyeurs," he added. A senior art student corn-mented, "The sculpture accur-ately describes many people's view of the art department. They come to the art department and Jazz festivals. "A group our size is relatively mobile; there is also the possi-bility of playing at athletic events. We're exploring the possibilities of being a performance group and we're encouraged about it so far. The Stage Band will offer im-provisation. This is something that Bethel's other groups don't offer normally," added Olson. The Stage Band has approxi-mately 17 members and Olson said that the band still needs tenor and baritone saxophone players. "People who are not in band or orchestra are welcome. There are no auditions and anyone with experience may join us. If the group starts to go we'll become even more organized. We're try-ing to build discipline," said Olson. "I can see a strong healthy program such as this create an added attraction for protential students," concluded Olson. by Ed Scott Palmquist Cindy Wobig, secretary to the music department, gives organ lessons to a handicapped lady. "She does not play much during lessons. But we spend the time discussing the piece she is study-ing," said Cindy. "I think she plays extremely well considering that she is on a wheelchair and has limited move-ment," Cindy added. Cindy graduated from Bethel in 1975 with a double major in church music and education. She said she decided not to go into teaching so she could continue playing the organ. Besides, "my job allows me time to practice, teach and perform." remove the sculpture during the Festival of Christmas. "The reactions confirm that people understand it only one way—pornographic, dirty book-stores," said Luckman. "Jeff is not working with that; rather he takes one beyond." When Luckman first saw Peep City he commented, "I was shocked. It looks out of place on this campus. That may reflect what I expected to see at Bethel." Jeff commented, "I'm glad for the response. People are think-ing; they're being stimulated. I may not be happy and may not think some of their comments are just, but I'm really glad people are responding." "My real love is playing the organ in church," said Cindy who is • also the organist for Salem Covenant Church. Cindy also likes to sew, cook and read. Besides the handicapped lady, Cindy has 14 other students. Playing the organ for others is Cindy's favorite type of Christian service. But she also believes that by being a secretary she can minister to students. "The music department is hard for some students to go through," Cindy explained, "I feel I am someone the students can turn to." Cindy said her job is to sched-ule and coordinate most activities that go through the department. "I also do unofficial advising," said Cindy, "and help students register for ,,private music les-sons." Every other Wednesday, Cindy takes lessons from Dr. Robert Thomas of St. Olaf. "I enjoy my lessons for many reasons," said Cindy, "but most of all, I enjoy taking them in the beautiful Boe Memorial chapel." Though Cindy. expressed satis-faction with her job she admitted that there were other things she would like to do. "I hope to go back to school," said Cindy, "once I get enough money." "I like the Twin-Cities so I may go to the U of M," said Cindy, "but it's not something I'm de-finite about." Cindy plans to get her masters in either fine arts or in church music. Cindy believes that if it wasn't for God she would not have her job. "It just so happened that I graduated when the job opened .up," said Cindy, "I was lucky enough to have the necessary secretarial skills." Cindy said she enjoys her work because of the students and the faculty. "I really don't know all of the work that pertains to my job," said Cindy, "there is something new to do everyday." On Dec. 15 Cindy will be presenting a 40- minute recital at the First Baptist Church in St. Paul. The recital is a part of a series of recitals to be held at the church during Decem-ber.

"People peep at life through TV, books etc.," he said. "They are living at a distance. Perhaps they are afraid. Maybe, to look at real life or to see life in another way would be too much for some." Luckman indicated that the display was not meant to shock or offend anyone. But it does offend some people. Many have expressed their feel-ings through the Senate's Beef Board.

The tall, slender man's face reflects Southeast Asia, where he worked 23 years as a translation consultant and missionary to Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. He joined the linguistics department this fall. "The focus of my professional life changed when I came to Bethel. I am enjoying the challenge of reorienting my think-ing to teaching college students. Learning to teach well is a time-consuming process," Smalley said. Smalley sees his work at Bethel as a different kind of ministry. "It's another creative service for the Lord," he said. His job as a translation con-sultant involved selecting and training translators for United Bible Societies. Linguistic and anthropological research served as a basis for teaching translation principles to Bible translators. "I left Bible society work for two reasons. I didn't want to return to Asia, and I sensed that I had done my part there. The re-maining work wasn't particularly innovative and was primarily to keep existing projects in opera-tion," he said. "Bethel was a rather attractive alternative and the opportunity to work with Dr. Don Larson again was inviting." Smalley and Lar-son have written a book together and have been friends for many years. Bethel interests Smalley be-cause, "I think this college is stronger than other Christian colleges in linguistics, anthro-pology and cross-cultural com-munications." "The linguistics department doubles with my coming," Smalley said with a chuckle. "We can now offer a wider variety of courses and be more flexible. We have included another course level by the addition of Linguistic Skills." "We are trying to focus on the more practical aspects of lingui-stics, rather than the theories. We believe that fits better with the liberal arts pattern," Smalley added. Since Smalley's parents were Arden.

After graduation, Smalley became a part of the Wycliffe Training Program at Columbia University. He received his doctorate in an-thropological linguistics at Columbia. Smalley then became a mis-sionary. He served in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, where he wrote systems for languages. In his spare moments Smalley has several projects underway, including two books. One book is about the structure of communi-cation and the other about lingui-stics diversity and national unity in Thailand. Smalley enjoys tinkering on cars and gardening. Professional reading, science fiction fantasy, popular studies of modern issues and novels with cultural emphasis are avidly read by Smalley. Smalley and his wife have three children. The oldest is an English teacher at a Japanese university, another is a graduate student in psychology and the youngest is a photographer in Connecticut. CHAPEL SCHEDULE Monday Christmas concert Tuesday Pastor. Spickelmier Wednesday- Saturday Finals Happy New Year! by Jim Torgerson Earlier this year the proposed resurrection of KABY was arou-sing a considerable amount of in-terest in the student body. And, since the "Nikked Brick" days of early November, the ever pre-eminent arrival of the '78-79 Roster has likewise received a good deal of your attention and interest. Hopefully, I will be able to answer some of the questions many of you have been asking about what is happening with KABY and, now that the Roster has been published, what happened to it. KABY is still tentatively scheduled to go on the air some-by Jay Russell "We hope to have the new dorms named by the time they're completed, or else by the fall of 1979," President Carl Lundquist said. Lundquist said that if suitable names are not found for the dorms, then temporary names will be given. No plans have yet been made to give the dorms permanent names. According to Lundquist, the Arden Hills residence and the -townhouses complexes "aren't officially named. They were con-veniently applied but are still open to permanent names. We want more distinctive names that perpetuate our heritage." He said the college buildings may possibly be renamed, too. Lundquist said that possible names will emerge from Bethel's history, building donors or from biblical names. He said that at the time second term. Our attempts to begin broadcasting earlier were stymied by lack of an advi-sor and insufficient space. Fur-thermore, we needed time to carefully define and determine the policy and programming for KABY. These concerns should be re-solved by February. A couple of qualified individuals have indi-cated an interest in serving as advisor to the station's staff. With the completion of the addition to the LRC, we anticipate having sufficient room to broad-cast. And hopefully, we will have developed a policy statement and program guidelines by then. As some of you already know, the Roster was delayed at the present time, there are no build-ings on campus with biblical names. The seminary residences are named after people with signifi-cant influence at Bethel. The Wingblade residence is named after Dr. Henry Wingblade, the second president of the college and seminary. Danielson residence bears the name of the Rev. Walfred Daniel-son, first dean of Bethel Junior College, and Widen residence is named after Dr. Wilford F. Widen, M.D., a leader in the development of Bethel's Arden Hills campus. The Turnwall residence is named after the Rev. William Turnwall, former secretary of home missions in the Baptist General Conference, and Wess-man residence bears the name of the Rev. Maurice "Duff" Wess-printer and binders for over a month. By now you have probably seen how poorly it was printed. We have arranged with the printer to have it entirely re-printed. The present version will serve as an interim directory until the reprinted copy is completed six-seven weeks from now. We regret the delay in the initial delivery of the Roster as well as the poor quality of the present version. Hopefully, the final product will justify our wait-ing. KABY and the Roster are both the responsibility of the Com-munication Board. If you have any questions or comments about either, we would appreciate your input. man, who provided pastoral lead-ership and ministry to the com-munity. The Chalberg missionary resi-dence was named after Ewald Chalberg, a medical doctor in Minneapolis who purchased and financed the old Chalberg mis-sionary residence on Como Ave-nue. According to Lundquist, a con-test was once held to name the Arden Hills residence, but noth-ing emerged from it. "There were a lot of suggestions," he said, "but we didn't feel comfortable with any of them." "There is a good possibility that the historic names of Edgren, Hagstrom and Bodien will be used on new campus," Lundquist said. The names come from pro-minent leaders in Bethel's early history. Edgren dormitory bears the name of John Alexis Edgren, founder of Bethel Seminary. Hagstrom is named after G. Arvid Hagstrom, the first presi-dent of Bethel College and Sem-inary, and Bodien dormitory bears the name of Mrs. Margreta Bodien, a prominent leader in establishing a women's residence on old campus. Lundquist said that "the auth-ority to name the dorms rests with the president's office, but choos-ing the names will be done with a lot of consultation."

The wrestling team looks forward to a successful season, starting the year with two consecutive wins. Royals rout Rochester in rough game Young Bethel grapplers explode to fast start by Steve Erickson Off to one of its fastest starts in recent years, the wrestling team hopes to continue its winning ways, taking on Jamestown Col-lege and the University of Minn-esota- Duluth tomorrow at home at 12 noon. The Royals opened their season with two wins, defeating Dr. Martin Luther and Concordia-St. Paul. "This is probably the best team I've ever ha& especially in overall balance," said Coach David Klostreich. "Our strength will show in tournaments more than in dual meets. We're off to a good start. We've got lots of enthusiasm and by Carol Madison The season opener against St. Thomas left some doubt about the future success of the women's basketball team, but all fears were erased when they came back to soundly defeat Macalester. The Royals lost to St. Thomas 70-35 after leading at one time in the first half by 11 points. St. Thomas overwhelmed Bethel in the second half, Outscoring them 50-14. Bethel shot only 21 per cent from the field and 31 per cent from the free throw line. "The game was not worth-less," said Coach Kathy Nevins, "because we learned a lot from it. We need to have our outside shooters hitting, and we would like to control the speed of the game more." Beth Karsjens was high re-bounder with 14, and Cindi Ramm was on top with. 11 points.

Round-ing out the upper weight classes are transfers Mark Swanson at 177 and Richard Hodge at heavy-weight. Newcomers include Tom Schrepel at 126, Greg Widmer at 134, and Wayne Reeves at 142. "We're a young team with three freshman and only one senior. But they're all capable of having a winning season," said Klostreich. Heinsch, Swanson, Hodge, and both Holmgrens have each won their first two matches of the Miller may keep her out for a few weeks. Bethel came back after their first loss to down Macalester 68-39. Shooting percentages were upped to 44 per cent from the field and 66 per cent at the free throw line. The Royals were able to handle the Macalester press effectively, and an excellent zone defense in the second half contained Mac's best shooters. "The team can really work to-gether," said Coach Nevins, "and it's a good feeling just knowing that." Bethel controlled the boards as Beth Karsjens had 16 rebounds, Joann Griffin had 12, and Deb Sension brought down 11. Kars-jens also led the scoring with 21 points, Cindi Ramm followed with 17, and Sension had 12. The Royal's first home game is tomorrow night at 7 p.m. with Dr. Martin Luther College. Their next game is Jan. 4 when they host Northwestern at 7 p.m. young season. "Our goals are to have a winning season and place six or seven in the conference meet. We expect to do much better than last Led by freshman Scott Felt-man, the Royal hockey team rolled to its first win of the sea-son, downing Rochester Com-munity College 7-3. Feltman scored three goals and added an assist to up his season total to five goals, tops on the team. Chuck Engberg added two power play goals in the first period for Bethel. Engberg's goals were the only scores for either team in the opening period. Mark Barton made it 3-0 54 seconds into the second period on assists from Bill Ostlund and Tom Correll. Less than one-half minute later, Felt-man scored his first tally, the game winner, from Greg Correll. Rochester rallied briefly, scor-ing power play and short-handed goals to narrow the margin to 4-2. Feltman's final two goals, seven seconds apart, made the score 6-2 late in the middle period and all but sealed Rochester's fate. Tom Correll finished the scor-ing for Bethel midway through the final period with a power play goal. The Royals outshot Rochester 37-23 and seemed to be in control from the outset. The game was marred by a large number of penalties. In all, the referee handed out 40 min-utes of minor penalities plus two game misconducts.

Bethel dropped the first three games of their difficult schedule, falling to Iowa State, St. John's, and St. Olaf. by Paul Olsen The men's basketball team fol-lowed last Thursday's victory at River Falls with a 89-81 loss to Mdorhead State on Monday. But the 88-79 win over the Falcons may prove costly for the Royals because of a knee injury to fresh-man forward Randy Moberg. The Royals jumped to a corn-manding early lead on the strength of hot shooting by Dave Blanchard and Ray Miller. Scott Wilson controled the ball with 17 rebounds for the game. Capitalzing on a shovel play down the lane, which seemed to confuse the River Falls defense, the Royals held a 21-point lead at halftime. In the second half, Bethel con-centrated on defense, and River Falls turned to a full-court press and began nibbling away at the lead. Led by phenomenal play by Al Rudd, a 7-foot transfer from the U of Wisconsin, the Falcons fought back until, with about two min-utes to play, Bethel's defense then showed a lot of poise in holding off the Falcons. River Falls was forced to foul, and for each section. If there is a large demand for the class, additional sections may be offered. Tuition has been set at $20 and will include all materials.

Tonight the hockey team travels south to take on St. Mary's. Tomorrow they return home to battle rival Hamline at 8:00 at Columbia Area. Bethel pulled away to win 88-79. Bragg said, however, "The victory was a costly one because we lost Moberg indefinitely, and Miller was banged up." The loss of Moberg was crucial in the Moorhead game as center Scott Wilson played only 15 min-utes due to foul trouble, and Moorhead's strength is in its tall back line. Bragg said Ray Miller played a great game coming off an injury and pulled down 17 rebounds. Bethel took an amazing 91 shots in the game but shot only 39 per cent from the field. The Royals sank three more field goals than Moorhead, but con-stant foul trouble accounted for the Moorhead win. Moberg's injury hurt the Roy-als against Moorhead, and Coach Bragg said, "It is a real blow to us as long as he's out." He could return in four to five weeks at the earliest, but may be out all season. Moberg's replacement, Steve Carrigan, is currently re-covering from a broken hand. Bethel begins its MIAC con-ference schedule tomorrow night at St. Olaf at 8 p.m. The Oles are considered by Bragg to be one of the conference favorites along with Augsburg, St. Mary's and St. Johns. Bragg is disappointed with the teams record thus far, and feels it can be a first-division team in the MIAC.
