Dean Brushaber selected an ad hgc committee to research the possibility of a nursing program at the beginning of the semester, and their results were presented last week. If the recommendations of the committee are adopted, Bethel will initiate a nursing program beginning in the 1980-81 school year with the actual nursing courses starting in the fall of 1982. The committee's research in-cluded in-depth study of the nurs-ing programs at St. Catherine's, North Park in Chicago, and Wil-liam Jewel College in Kansas City, Missouri. Their aim was to report on the advisability and the feasi-bility of such a program here at Bethel. Members of the committee are Tom Johnson, Paul Tavernier, Lynn Fauth, Dave Sperry, and Olaf Olsen. If the program is introduced at --Betbel,-it -will mean an increase in way School of Nursing is phasing its program out, so Bethel's pro-gram could use the clinical sites of Midway and Mounds hospitals now used by that school. The committee wants to empha-size the coincidence of the Mounds Midway program phas-ing out, and Bethel program start-ing because they would be two dis-tinct programs. Mounds is a diploma nursing program, while Bethel would institute a bacca-laureate program. Lynn Fauth, a member of the ad hoc committee, explained that this difference is evident in the philosophy the two types of pro-grams have. The diploma program, said Fauth, is more service-oriented, while the baccalaureate program placed more emphasis on the edu-cation of the nurse. This factor, Claims the committee which has been concerned with a nursing program fitting into a liberal arts setting, allows the program to be but it sees ways in which it could enhance the academic community by providing a wider range of stu-dents for interaction and opening up some classes in the program to other students. Another factor the committee dealt with was a nursing program's advisability in view of Bethel's Christian commitment. The committee feels that the ser-vice nurses could offer to society is prominent. If the program was implement-ed at Bethel, it would mean 270 additional students, when fully in-stituted. This would mean the ad-dition of a nursing faculty staff of 12 and additional teacher in various departments such as biology, chemistry, and also in the general arts. To provide space for the pro-gram, the science building com-pletion would be required. Also, the projected plan is to remodel four townhouses for offices and labs. The final decision on the nurs-ing program will be made on May 1, by a faculty vote.

Sixty students living on new campus were chosen at random and surveyed by telephone.

However, when asked what type of music they would like to hear on KABY, 58 per cent said they would like to hear Christian music. Only 20 per cent wanted to hear rock music on the station, while 13 per cent preferred easy listening. Most students surveyed said that they listen to the radio before classes in the morning, between 6-10 a.m. The second most popu-lar time was in the evenings be-tween 9 p.m. and midnight, while the afternoon (12 to 7 p.m.) was the time of day when fewest stu-dents listen to the radio.

The remaining 17 per cent said they would like to hear the news three times a day. What would make students want to listen to KABY? Thirty per cent, or 18 students said Chris-tian music or the Christian aspect of the station would make them want to listen to KABY. Good Cont. on page 7 University student and VOC worker Marlene Hardy. With downtown Jackson under water and under a sort of quar-antine, many Bethel students were concerned about the fate of VOC. Junior Carolyn Olson contacted VOC and Rev. Snell, area pastor, and found that the churches, the VOC buildings in both Jackson and Mendenhall, as well as Jackson State, were untouched by the tragedy. Several families in Rev. Snell's congregations, however, suffered heavy losses, some losing everything. There is no expectation of fur-ther flooding, and the fortune of the VOC ministries is remarkable. In Rankin county, for example, the only highway left open after the flooding was the one leading to Mt. Pleasant Church, which became quite crowded recently. The American Red Cross helped the Jackson area extensive-ly, said Hardy, and since transportation routes are slowed or stopped Snell said there is little that the communities could use from the north. For people wanting to help stricken families, Olson suggests sending money in care of Snell, or getting in touch with her to con-tribute. Survey uncovers KABY preferences WE HAVE SOME INTEREST/NG STUDENTS HERE AT BETHEL ... . the Soapbox Laws, legalism don't equal love isi Amu% n CLARI Opinion KABY bill vague, not Senate's duty A bill stating that Bethel radio KABY "should play Christian music only" passed in the Student Senate meeting on Tuesday night. Supporting clauses within the bill stated that Bethel is a "Christian community," that we need a medium of "contemporary Christian musci" and that other music is in adequate supply on commercial radio now The bill is to be enacted as of the 1979-80 school year, provided KABY will still be in operation in the fall. It was not made effective im-mediately because KABY is currently unable to purchase a sufficient number of "Christian albums." Question: what kind of album is KABY going to purchase? It seems terribly ambiguous to differentiate "Christian music" from whatever the alternative is. The Senate's concern for our "Christian community" is valid, yet if guidelines are offered to KABY they might as well be meaningful. That will demand more specificity than is in the present bill. Some proponents of the bill tried to define "Christian music" as "music by Christian artists." Assuming they are referring to musicians who are Christians, we won't argue about the meaning of "Christian ar-tist" or whether all musicians deserve to be called artist s However, the validity of this restriction is still questionable. Certainly much religious music, sacred and gospel, is written or recorded by non- Christians. An anthem or gospel tune should not be excluded on the basis of the spirituality of its composer or performer. Conversely, what of Christians who perform music on a secular theme? Will we play their music only because they are professed Chris-tians? Even if we define "Christian 'music" by the theme of its text, which will still cause difficulties, we must question a blanket restriction on KABY's selections. Agreed, KABY should avoid music which harms the community or expresses philosophies contrary to bilbical standards. Perhaps this would be a more appropriate recommendation to give the radio staff. Recommendation, yes. Restriction, no. The Senate must be cautious of the extent of its control over student media. It is granted that the media are funded through the Student Associa-tion budget, that media heads are selected by the Communications Board, and that Senate has the power to eliminate a student medium if it seems necessary. The alternative is for Senate to offer some guidelines to KABY con-cerning what not to play. The Senate's concerns are worthy, but they should be defined in meaningful terms if they are to have any effect.

After two years of being "part" of the Bethel Community I would have to answer, to be a Christian you must do this and you cannot do that. A Christian is very legalistic and lives by a guideline of do's and don't's. These do's and don'ts ap-pear to be mostly man made. Ethics form the heart of Christ-ianity, and it is here that most controversy appears. In the true sense of the word At the first I was going to write about something with great and immediate pertinence. Springtime at Bethel, shorts, T-shirts, jog-gers, the pursuit of the golden brown, over-toasted, or scorched body look, the total abstinence from books...graduation. But no, I'd rather discuss children. Why not? Remember, that's what we all were before we came to Bethel. Alas, that some of us still are! The apostle Paul mentioned this on numerous occasion in' terms such as "milk" and "babes in Christ." It was Paul who also said cept of Christianity would be from what Christ actually expects in a Christian. According to the Bible, a Christ-ian wants to live according to the will of God. We do not have to live a certain way first, and then are allowed to become Christians. I feel that I am close to the truth when I say that after two years at Bethel, I have heard the term "lifestyle" 100 times to every time I have heard the word "Jesus." Bethel students (myself includ-ed) are so hung-up on arguing against the Bethel code of life-styles (and probably only because it comes from authority figures), that we leave the reason for Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection in the background. After attending four colleges, I have finally come to the realiza-tion that a college is only what its members allow it to be. What do we allow Bethel to be? that we would not all be sleeping, but we would all be changed. Whatever the case, such a church The members of Bethel have so much potential not being put to use. We waste our time on the minor and least-important aspects of Christianity. Instead of fighting against Bethel, we must support and be proud of our college. We must help build Bethel and allow it to grow—spiritually. In order to do this, we must be the kind of Christians that Jesus wants us to be, not what we want ourselves to be. We must not start with the lives of others, but with our own lives; and obey the words of Jesus, "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you." Let's quit making such a big deal about the legalistic aspect of Christianity and start making a big deal out of "Jesus and His Love." David H. Gerholdt would need an enormous nursery. But Jesus was also interested in children. One day when he was with his disciples, some parents escorted their children to the teacher. This was too much for Jesus' followers—what did Jesus want with these dirty urchins? He had better things to do. They rebuked the visitors, but Jesus overruled and called them to his side. "Leave them alone, let them come to me. God's kingdom belongs to ones such as these." Have you talked with a child recently? Someone told me that a Cont. on page 3 Until it comes to such a point, however, responsibility should be left in "Christianity," where does the hands of the media staffs.

Rd. E. at Snelling Student ministry given boost by Terri Sue Hanson Senate introduced a new bill that will encourage students to be-come involved in volunteer minis-tries around the Twin Cities. Cur-rently only 200-300 students are involved in such ministries. The bill recognizes two reasons why Bethel should improve its campus ministries. Besides help-ing students carry out their Chris-tian responsibility, the poor in surrounding areas are in need of help. Therefore, the bill recommends the following resolutions. First of all, that the senate work with cam-pus ministries in involving stu-dents with local ministries. Se-cond, that the senate make a re-commendation to Dean Brushaber that there should be at least one full-time person working with stu-dents in Christian Service. Thirdly, that the senate ask the Dean to consider buying a vehicle for campus ministries. Lastly, the senate recommends to the Dean that academic credit should be awarded to those who are invol-ved in volunteer ministries. The senate is also becoming more involved through the Public Action Committee (PAC). In the past, PAC has dealt with inter-national concerns. But is has ex-panded in local areas this year at Steve Hoswell and Sue Stone's suggestions. PAC will be heading drives for clothes and canned foods. in reaction to senates recent ac-tions, Kathy Dennis, secretary in Campus Ministries, commented, "We are glad to see other people doing things.

The party will feature the Presi-dent's sense of optimism and his visionary outlook. There will be a special pictorial presentation of President Lund-quist's past—including his college days, his wedding, and his child-hood— with music by the Seminary Ensemble and com-ments and reflections of the Presi-dent's past by individuals from the college and seminary. ities. "People would approach cam-pus ministries witfrthe wrong at-titudes and motives if it was man-datory or academically accredited. Giving academic credit is like be-ing a Girl Scout and getting badges pinned on for doing good deeds." "It will be a celebration that is light and fun," said Florence Johnson, member of the commit-tee in charge of the 'party.' "There will be cake and punch for everyone, and the fieldhouse will be decorated especially for the oc-casion," she added. A tree will be planted at the col-lege and the seminary to com-memorate the President's anniver-sary.

All-school celebration for Lundquists 25th year Zeke, cont. from page 2 child is just a person, except a lit-tle person. It's true. Jesus saw something unique and special in a child. He used them as examples when he taught. Two summers ago I was wat-ching a group of four and five-year- olds at camp. We did simple things. I'd tell them stories and we would play in the sand along the lake. Near the end of the week I gave them all rides on my shoulder and after that I walked back to the main building with one of the youngest clinging to my back. I put her back on her feet. Then she looked up at me and spoke softly but clearly, "Thanks for playing with us." Those short words touched me in their simple trust and sincerity. Just a little person. I was humbled and shamed—I was a big person with so much to learn. Blessed are the children! On Easter Sunday, after the worship service, I saw some children on the sidewalk near the church building. I walked toward them and knelt to talk with one of them. She told me her name was Tristy. Her clothes were worn and tattered. On the top of her head were dark locks of gnarled hair. Her face was in desperate need of washing. She was without the traditional bright clothing that so many others had donned that morning. She wasn't even in church, but I knew she was the kind of little person 'that Jesus would embrace with his inviting love. Tristy pointed to another child nearby. "That's my cousin. I hate him." For such strong words, her tone was lacking in emotion. She could not have been more than five. Certainly she had to grow up, but it grieved me to see the dissipation of her child-likeness at such an age. When I was leaving,another of this girl's friends came over and they smiled with glowing faces and waved. There was yet hope for these little people. "Which of us is the greatest?" the disciples wrangled among themselves. Jesus responded by placing a child before them—in-deed the lowliest was truly the greatest. "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not enter the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Many a child has wandered up to me from behind and reached out to grasp the hand which dangled by my side. Their trust seems almost reckless. We must grow up to maturity and corn-pleteness, but we must also be as a perpetual child. "Blessed are the children, shel-tered in warmth of Jesus' love, precious in their trusting— they're the sweet and simple poetry from above."

PRO: Nestle's promotion attacked, boycott encouraged Editor's note: Ronn Kreps worked with INFACT before attending Bethel. by Ronn Kreps The boycott against the Swiss-based Nestle Corporation has several bases for justification. Consider the facts concerning breast-feading, bottle-feeding, and Nestle tactics, Almost all medical authorities regard breast feeding as ideally suited to the health and well-being of infants. Infant formulas are unnecessary, even where mothers are poorly nourished. In spite of this, breast-feeding is declining in developing nations. Promotion of infant formula is a major cause. In Singapore, breast-feeding rates plummeted 66 per cent in 20 years. And this is not a rare example, it is typical of the trend throughout the Third World. The result of this inferior feeding is an estmated 10 million cases of severe infant disease each year! The diseases include and/or result in retardation, malnutri-tion. and death. Economic and environmental factors heavily contribute to the ")bottle baby" syndrome. Poor mothers often do not have access to clean water, sanitary prepa-ration techniques, or refrigera-tors. Formula to feed a single baby can cost up to 40 per cent of a family's income. Thus, mothers dilute the formula, resulting in malnourished babies. And Nestle promotes this formula. Nestle uses mass media, color-ful posters, free samples, medical gifts to hospitals, reported kick-backs to doctors, and "milk nurses" to make its profits. Nestle recognizes the huge potential for profit in the Third World, so it puts a premium on promotion of its formula in those countries. "Milk nurses" are uniformed nurses hired by companies to sell their infant formula. Mothers regard nurses as experts, so they belive the nurses' message of health and happiness as a result of bottle feeding. The mothers do not realize that they are endanger-ing the lives of their own children. Knowing these things about Nestle and the formula it pro-motes, let's apply our Christianity to this situation. The biblical writers spoke for the welfare of the poor and the oppressed. Certainly the New Testament meaning of "love your Falcon Barber Stylists Upper Midwest Trophy Winner FOR WOMEN'S HAIR STYLING Call Debbie at 646-2323 neighbor" includes "do not deceive your neighbor, and do not devote your efforts to something which is detrimental to your neighbor." But our mandate is even stronger than that. God calls us, his special people, to champion the cause of the poor, the defense-less. The prophet Amos condemn-ed Israel for oppressing the poor and needy. The Lord told Jeremiah that by Thangi Chhangte In -our eagerness to express our "Christian • zeal and commitment," we often miss the boat. The Nestle boycott is a prime example. Just because someone tells us that Nestle is responsible for the death of in-fants, we rise up with righteous in-dignation without really getting to the root of the problem. It may be that Nestle and other large corporations are responsible for such an atrocious crime. But we too have a part in the crime. Our apathy and ignorance of poverty in other countries is a serious crime. In this day and age of modern technology and effi-cient communication metlods, there is no reason why we should not be aware of it. If we know so much about other planets, we should know much more about our own planet. Actually; we know what we should do but we have shut our eyes and ears because we want to enjoy "what the Lord has given to us." Instead of pointing our fingers at Nestle, we should be hanging our heads in shame. What Nestle one reason Israel had to be judged was their habit of getting rich off the poor. God wants us to follow His example in standing for the defense of victimized people. Imagine for a minute that you are a mother in Guatemala who has been led to believe that your baby needs infant formula. So you buy it, but you dilute it to make sure your baby gets enough. And the water you use to prepare has done has exposed what we as Christians have failed to do. For instance, part of the accu-sation printed by the Senate reads that "many of the mothers are il-literate and cannot read the direc-tions and also on strict incomes which causes them to dilute the formula with contaminated water, thus causing malnutrition and in-fection." First of all, let us consider the problem of illiteracy. (In his book, "What Do You Say to a Hungry World?" Stanley Mooneyham, president of World Vision International, offers some insights on this subject and other topics related to Third World countries.) Blitieracy is one of the major problems in Third World coun-tries. Yet, what have we done to it was drawn from the river, which is contaminated with human and animal waste. Soon, your baby suffers from diarrhea and weakness, then se-veremalnutrition , and finally, death. Guatemalan mother, don't you wish someone would have acted on your behalf, would have tried to stop those who deceived you? Realize Guatemalan mother, some people are trying. eradicate it? How many of us are willing to teach in some remote village, or would rather go to "civilized" countries like Japan? If only these people were taught how to think for themselves, taught the value of nutrition and sanitation, they would not be so easily exploited. Next on the list is "strict in-comes," a euphemism for pover-ty. Can we honestly say that we are only "poor students" when these people do not even have what we throw away? We know how to make the most of what we have, but our reasons for saving the money is not usual-ly for the poor. We "chicken out" when it comes to making sacrifices but we love to shout "wolf" at those who do something wrong. Poverty is also directly linked with malnutrition, disease and un-sanitary conditions. They are the number-one killers in underdevel-oped countries. Yet the poor have no choice but to live with them. If Nestle's baby formula in-directly causes malnutrition we are no less guilty. We cause mal-nutrition because we eat more than we need to and waste what we cannot eat. Ironically, a We have to become more alert to unethical practices in our world. We should not hesitate in opposing blatant "profits before people" standards. The Biblical injunction is clear. If you wish to join the Nestle boycott, write to them (The Nestle Company, 100 Bloomingdale Rd., White Plains, NY 10605) and stay informed on events concerning the boycott. dieter's popular excuse for having a big meal is, "but I'm starving!" Another accusation is Nestle's unethical use of its nurses and nutritionists. Such a deplorable act should not be allowed. However, it also raises an embar-rassing question. Why are Chris-tians not providing honest, train-ed nurses and nutritionists? The answer is that there are very few Christians willing to support missionaries, much less go out themselves. Apparently, we have chosen to ignore Christ's com-mand to "go into the world." We can proudly state examples of dedicated missionaries, slaving under hot tropical suns and hostile governments. We can also name Christian organizations that are making tremendous efforts to help the poor. But we cannot take credit for what others do. We have to honestly ask ourselves some im-portant questions. What have we done personally to help the sick, hungry and destitute? How often do we fast for the sake of those who are star- . ving? (Why support a Nestle boycott fast, and then change the date because it happens to coin-cide with a $20 meal?) We "sing and share" but do we ever really "share" with those who have nothing? Are we more concerned about the accusation that Nestle's for-mula is a killer, or about the poverty that thrives on our apathy and selfishness? If we cannot answer these ques-tions, we cannot condemn Nestle. They may have made a mistake but we have betrayed Christ. Poverty is the real killer in the Third World, and we Christians have neglected to fight it. Boycotting Nestle may elimi-nate one social evil but it will not remove the poverty curtain. We have to offer a more practical solution: ourselves. We may not accomplish much as individuals but as a united body of believers, we can change the world. Let us not forget the exam-ple Christ set in helping the poor. Crunch Nestle's Quick? CON: Nestle exposes Christians' apathy page four Rob Johnson has been named next year's Passages editor. Rob accepts editorship, plans magazine by Sari Winans The face will be familiar, but the job will be new. Rob Johnson, outgoing campus co-ordinator, has been selected to fill the posi-tion of editor for the 1979-80 edi-tion of Passages. Passages is a soft-cover magazine that was created four years ago to replace a dying year-book. "Its goal," says Rob, "is to sum up the experience of students attending a year at Bethel College." Rob believes that Passages is more than a yearbook in that it is a record of events and their out-comes during the year. He is con-cerned specifically with the 1979-80 school year. Passages attempts to express feelings and emotions experienced by people through the combina-tion of high-quality literary and artistic means. Rob, who will be a senior next fall, brings three years of experien-cing events at Bethel to this job, plus an art major with a graphics specialization which will aid him in this job. Working with Rob as literary editor is Terri Sue Han-son. She will be co-ordinating the literary part of Passages. Rob and Terri Sue want to center the theme for next year's edition of Passages around the subject of "Passages Through Time." Rob added, "I want to go deeper than what occured. I'd like to convey how the events affected us." Rob and Terri Sue plan to place a spiritual emphasis on Passages and believe that this can be ac-complished through poetry, writings, illustrations, paintings, and artistic graphic designs. Rob says that he hopes for a diversified range of student input. He feels that this is necessary if Passages is to reflect changes tak-ing place. Contests for those wishing to contribute to Passages will be held at several different intervals throughout next year. Rob says that anyone who is interested is in-vited to make a contribution. Rob and Terri Sue are excited about next year's edition of Passages and hope to carry on the "When I retire...I'm going to winter in Hawaii...build a hide-away cabin...read, write, travel to..." Even before that, have you thought of going to college? Bethel is one of 19 Minnesota colleges opening its doors again this summer for Elderhostel—a national continuing education program for anyone over 60 who desires to explore new ideas and meet new people, young and old. Offered July 8 to 14, Elder-hostel is a total living/learning ex-perience.

The teachers feel apart from Bethel, but they also feel that stu-dent teaching is "gradually wean-ing" them from college life out in-to the world. "It's a nice way for a senior to go out of college," Julie Wood ex-plained. "It eases you out of col-lege, and gives you something to do that you'll be doing after graduation." Not seeing friends at Bethel is hard for the teachers, but they have gained new friends. Wood is impressed with the friendliness of the full-time teachers and prin-cipals of the schools she has work-ed at. Pilch pointed out how much she enjoyed working with the children. "Each child is different," she said. "They're all individuals." She said that her "heart just goes out to those kids." The other teachers said they en-joy working with the children, also. "They get a kick out of the littlest things," Wood said. "They've taught me a lot—and their eagerness to learn is neat." Gretchen Otto added that it is exciting for her to see what the children have learned from what she's taught them. "All of a sud-den you're an example," she said. "You have an effect on the kids." Preparing for classes every day is different than studying for classes. "I never realized how much time teachers spent until I had to plan a lesson," Wood con-fessed. The daily plans include more than just preparing a reading lesson or arithmetic lesson for the children. Student teachers must also prepare bulletin boards, make dittos, cut out letters, and plan art and gym lessons. Student teachers have the op-portunity to be involved in SMEA (Student Minnesota Education Association). Otto is Bethel's president of SMEA. "SMEA helps supplement the education we get at Bethel," Otto said. It offers workshops and seminars, and helps student teachers with interviews and ap-plications for future teaching jobs. "Writing resumes and sending out applications add to the busywork that student teachers must do," said Wood. One thing that all the student teachers have said is that Bethel has a good education department which has really prepared them for teaching. "Bethel has a good reputa-tion ," Kaiser said. "Dr. Runbeck,professor of education, has done a terrific job. She re-quires a lot of her students and she's very strict with us, but I think that's what makes the Bethel program so good." "I just think Dr. Runbeck is the greatest," Wood echoed. She's been very supportive. And the teachers in the schools have nothing but good things to say about her." _ ELWOOD CARLSON, Optician Classes Contact Lenses (Hard & Soft) Sports Glasses 358 St. Peter Street St: Paul, Minn 55102 227-7818 Bethel hosts summer program for seniors Dr. Runbeck, professor of education, has helped many student teachers adjust to their new roles.

(CCNS) — An essay contest offering a total of $2,000 in prizes for the best short essay written by Christian undergraduate students on "How Did You Choose Your College?" has been announced by Christian Herald magazine. Winning essays will be publish-ed in the October 1979 issue, which features the magazine's an-very convincing. Especially noteworthy is the daughter, played by Carol Mabbott, and the eldest son played by Laurence Berland. A familiarity with "The Little Foxes" would help any theatre patron to enjoy this work more fully, but even then, "Forest" is a shadow of what once was for Miss Hellman. Three acts later, an audience may feel that it has missed something. Because the play lacks anything substantial, it creates an unentertaining atmosphere and fosters complacency.

Johnson was talking to Robertz on the phone at the beginning of the semester when Robertz men-tioned the purchase of a new stat machine by the company to re-place the old machine. Soon after-ward, Robertz donated the old machine to Bethel along with chemicals, an initial paper supply, two print dryers, and a film pro-cessor.

Entries must be received by the magazine on or before June 15. Essays should be 500 words or less. They will be judged on their "freshness and their potential helpfulness to Christian young people in high school who desire to follow God's leading as they select their college," said John Kenyon, associate editor. "Winning entries will combine qualities of interest with usefulness," he continued. "They will answer questions such as: What happened when you prayed about your choice? Who influenc-ed your decision? Why did a cer-tain college seem preferable to others? How did high school ac-tivities and studies influence your choice? How did career goals figure in?" The first prize winner will receive a cash award of $1,000. The second prize is $500, the third $100, and eight honorable men-tion prizes of $50 each will also be awarded.

Another gift of a hand printing press along with several fonts of type, paper stock, and ink was do-nated by David Lissner, director of campus development, last spring. "Gifts here and there have helped to make teaching graphic design more feasible," said John-son. The stat machine has the poten-tial for doing both color and black and white reductions and enlarge-ments from both photographs as well as original art work. Al-though the machine will be used mainly as a teaching tool for graphic design students, it is available for the use by other de-partments for preparing art, posters, and typography. Rates and scheduling will be arranged through the art department. "We have no estimate on the equipment," Johnson said, "but new, the equipment would cost somewhere around $10,000. It is sizeable gift for which we are very grateful." '79 Passages colorful, new, coming in May by Shelly Nielsen It's almost May!

The 60 page color/black and white magazine represents student body talent. Yes, the essays, pho-tographs, poems, and paintings decorating these pages are the works of those very people with whom you eat cabbage rolls in the cafeteria. A fall competition chose the li-terary and visual creations best capturing some aspect of Bethel or the inner self of a specific Bethel-ite. When was the last time you saw the innards of a friend? Disappointment with past Pas-sages may be a result of misunder-standing the magazine's purpose. Though called a "Spire replace-ment," Passages does not attempt to catalog the year in photographs the way a yearbook would. In-stead, students themselves con-struct "Passages," submitting their artistic expressions and por-traying their own subjective view-points. • The '79 "Passages" diverges from the usual format of past magazines.

Written by Lillian Hellman of "The Little Foxes" fame, the play deals with an old southern family in the post Civil War South. The entire work takes place over a three-day period, almost 20 years before the events depicted in "The Little Foxes," but deals with the same family and is a preamble to that work.

He is now in charge of all of Bethel's accoun-ting. Bergeson went to Bethel for two non-consecutive years. He now has a degree in business ad-ministration from the U of M, where he later completed his work in accounting. While attending school, Bergeson held a variety of job positions. He took a course in tailoring at Minneapolis Voca-tional School, and then worked at Dayton's, altering men's suits. Bergeson also worked as a machinist making plastic injection Senate action The bill that would have recom-mended opening the new student center during chapel hours failed, and legislation requiring KABY to play only music by Christian ar-tists passed with an amendment to highlight senate action on Tues-day. The amendment tacked on to the KABY bill delays implementa-tion of the rule until next school year. KABY has reportedly de-pleted its budget for the year and cannot afford to purchase any al-bums at this time. The senate also passed the bill supporting the Nestle boycott. After heated discussion, the vote to support the action, first pro-posed at the American Associa-tion of Evangelical Students' na-tional conference, passed 11-3. The bills improving the Bethel ID and supporting Christian ser-vice were also passed. The -propo-sition to allow academic credit for Christian service work was deleted from the approved Christian ser-vice legislation. Bills to be voted on next week include adding a transfer senator position in senate, purchasing an IBM Selectric typewriter for stu-dent use, much as those in the li-brary now, and donating $150 to support the Philippine orphanage begun by Paul Healy. Meanwhile, President Steven Hoswell and Vice-president Susan Stone remain enthusiastic and op-timistic about the new senate. molds and doing experimental design work. His most unique experience was as a hospital orderly. Bergeson worked in the lab and in the morgue, where he assisted in autopsies. "After a few months, I transferred to physical therapy because I liked working with the living more than with the dead," said Bergeson. Bergeson did some accounting work for clients of an attorney before coming to Bethel in 1977. He first worked as an accountant in the business office, and then became acting comptroller. He was named comptroller on April 1. He manages student accounts, the banking service, payroll, and accounts payable.

The Royals started out the week by defeating Normandale 17-3 with winning pitcher Vicki Wright giving up only two walks and five hits. "It was their first game of the season," said Coach Karyl Frye, "so their pitcher had problems. They gave us 17 walks which ac-counted for most of our runs." Wright went two for three at bat, and both Cindi Ramm and Robyn Erbst went one for three. The team then lost a close game to Carleton, 3-1, on four hits. Carleton had only three hits, but they scored their runs on three crucial errors by Bethel. Tammy Miller was one for two at the plate, and Wright and Erbst followed at one for three. Linda Johnson was eight for eight in fielding. Bethel lost their second game of the day to St. Olaf 12-1. Miller led the hitting and fielding by getting two hits and going three for three in the field. "They had eight hits, including two doubles and two triples," said Frye. "The combination of those hits and the five crucial errors we had is the story of the game." The Royal's third loss in a row was to a strong reserve team from the University of Minnesota. U of M scored seven runs on seven hits in the second inning to defeat Bethel 9-3. "We had the first two batters out in that inning, but then four errors allowed them to score the seven runs," said Frye. "After that inning they only got two runs on a home run and a triple." Bethel gathered six hits, with Miller and Wright going one for three. The team won their final two games over Gustavus and Concor-dia St. Paul, 13-7 and 18-7. Wright gave up five hits and ten walks to Gustavus, but Bethel was able to contain the Gusties strongest hitters. Miller again lead hitting by going three for three with three RBI's. Bethel overwhelmed Concordia 18-7 in five innings. Concordia walked in 14 of Royal's runs in the fourth inning. Bethel collected six hits, but continued to be plagued by errors. "Our hitting was a little better," said Frye, "but our fielding was poor. Six errors is just too many." The Royals will participate in an invitational tournnament at the University of Minnesota today and tomorow, with the first game at 1 p.m., followed by games at 3 and 5 p.m. They will play again on Satur-day at 11 a.m., with possible games to follow depending on their success in earlier games. The final home game is May 1 with Augsburg at 3:30 p.m. at the King's Court diamond in Roseville. Royal batsmen scrap for runs in twinball split with Tommies by Steve Erickson The Royal baseball team seem to be making a habit of splitting doubleheaders. Tuesday the batsmen divided a twinbill with St. Thomas losing 11-2 and win-ning 5-2, to raise their season record to 4-5. The Tommies scored runs in all but one inning to ruin pitcher Tom Weko's bid for the win. Single runs were scored by St. Thomas in the first and second to take a 2-1 lead. But in the third and fourth they `widened the gap considerably. Three singles and double, sand-wiched around a twobase error, put across two runs in the third. The following inning two runs scored on a double and a pair of run-scoring singles. Bethel could only manage one run after that as the Tommie pit-cher kept Royal batters off balance by mixing up his pitches well. The run came as a result of a wild pitch, scoring Mark Forsline who had reached on a error. The second game started out as a pitcher's duel. Amid a steady drizzle, the Tommie hurler held Bethel to no hits and only one base runner, Bob Griddings who walked in the second, through four innings. The Royals' Jeff Wilson was nearly as perfect, allowing only a triple through four. But in the fifth, the Royals ruin-page eight ed the shutout. Greg Smith led off the inning by getting hit in the arm by a fastball. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and a passed ball. After Giddings flew out, Weko walked. Mark Barton followed with Bethel's first hit, a two run sing-le to center. A wild pitch moved pinch winner Mitch Duininck to third. One out later, Dan Fauth ap-peared to knock in another run but St. Thomas appealed and Duininck was called out at third. Only one Royal was ejected in the ensuing argument. Wilson got out of a jam, allow-ing only one run in the bottom of the inning, before the Royals scored three more in the seventh. Two walks and a error loaded the bases for Bethel. Cal LauWers scored on a wild pitch and Duinin-ck walked to load them up again. Wilson sent the final two runs home with a sharp single to left center. Wilson walked in one run in the bottom of the seventh but came from behind to strike out two bat-ters. He forced the last batter to ground out, saving his win on a three hitter. In earlier games, Bethel split with Augsburg, winning 4-0 and losing 6-1. Weko pitched a fine game in the opener. Greg Thom and Wilson scored in the first as Paul Lindberg singled. Wilson also pounded a home run in the seventh. by Rob Haglund The IM open league basketball season came to its exciting conclu-sion with the Eastbound Express knocking off the Swedish Fly Girls to win the B league crown and Probes disposing of the Old Men to take A league honors. The B league title was a close, exciting game that saw Peter Sauf-ferer, Steve Brown and company prove to be too much for the Fly Girls. The Express finished in third place in the regular season but went undefeated through the double elimination tournament to claim the crown. The outcome of the A league championship game was neither as close or as unexpected as the B league game. For the second time in the tournament Probes defeated the Old Men, this time by a score of 68-49. Brian Larson led the winners with 19 points (just as he led the earlier win with 22 points in a 86-66 decision), his slippery, double pumping drives wreaking havoc as they had done all year. The game though, was actually closer than the final score might indicate. Despite the sorely-missed absence of Mack Nettleton, the faculty jumped out to a 12-2 lead which was cut to 31-29 by halftime. George Palke and Dan (Twine-Tingling) Taylor were playing their usual solid game however, and it looked like the game might be close throughout. It did in fact stay close until late in the game when, with the Old Men leading 47-45, Probes ran off a 23-2 scoring spree that put the "nursing home five" to rest for good. Dave Hepburn, who tossed in 14 points (one below his regular season average), assessed the game very succinctly, "They were hot in the beginning and we weren't. Even though we were down 12-2 we didn't worry because we were getting open shots." He acknowledged that the absence of Nettleton was an important factor but still felt that Probes was the better team. "We've played together and we complement each other," he said, "We all know what we're going to do. And with the exception of Tom Klitzke's team (the Com-municables) there was no one that could really run with us." Match their running offense with an aggressive defense (second toughest in the league) and their unblemished 15-0 record is understandable. No one particular player carried them through the season. At one point or another everyone—Larson, Hepburn, Greg Nelson, Brad Nauman, Dave Bratt, Craig Hanson and Paul Lindberg—played an important role. The closest they came to defeat was their 70-65 win over the Com-municables while they defeated a maligned version of the Old Men 102-60 during the regular season for their widest margin of victory. Ironically, their closest game of the tourney was their 19-point win in the championship game. As soon as the championship game had ended, Probes was issued a challenge by the B league champions for a playoff game. It is beyond this writer why the Ex-press (even though they are a good team) would want to go through the embarrassment of a match-up against Probes. And so the legend of Probes goes on—or does it? Having com-piled a 49-2 record over the past three years, and with the memories of players like Dave Foley, Ron Nilsson, Scott Whitlock, Gary Leafblad and Paul (Chumley) Harrison who have come and gone, the question was asked—Will they be back? "We're not sure" was the answer. But undoubtedly there are 11 teams waiting in the wings who hope not.

Dean Brushaber selected an ad hgc committee to research the possibility of a nursing program at the beginning of the semester, and their results were presented last week. If the recommendations of the committee are adopted, Bethel will initiate a nursing program beginning in the 1980-81 school year with the actual nursing courses starting in the fall of 1982. The committee's research in-cluded in-depth study of the nurs-ing programs at St. Catherine's, North Park in Chicago, and Wil-liam Jewel College in Kansas City, Missouri. Their aim was to report on the advisability and the feasi-bility of such a program here at Bethel. Members of the committee are Tom Johnson, Paul Tavernier, Lynn Fauth, Dave Sperry, and Olaf Olsen. If the program is introduced at --Betbel,-it -will mean an increase in way School of Nursing is phasing its program out, so Bethel's pro-gram could use the clinical sites of Midway and Mounds hospitals now used by that school. The committee wants to empha-size the coincidence of the Mounds Midway program phas-ing out, and Bethel program start-ing because they would be two dis-tinct programs. Mounds is a diploma nursing program, while Bethel would institute a bacca-laureate program. Lynn Fauth, a member of the ad hoc committee, explained that this difference is evident in the philosophy the two types of pro-grams have. The diploma program, said Fauth, is more service-oriented, while the baccalaureate program placed more emphasis on the edu-cation of the nurse. This factor, Claims the committee which has been concerned with a nursing program fitting into a liberal arts setting, allows the program to be but it sees ways in which it could enhance the academic community by providing a wider range of stu-dents for interaction and opening up some classes in the program to other students. Another factor the committee dealt with was a nursing program's advisability in view of Bethel's Christian commitment. The committee feels that the ser-vice nurses could offer to society is prominent. If the program was implement-ed at Bethel, it would mean 270 additional students, when fully in-stituted. This would mean the ad-dition of a nursing faculty staff of 12 and additional teacher in various departments such as biology, chemistry, and also in the general arts. To provide space for the pro-gram, the science building com-pletion would be required. Also, the projected plan is to remodel four townhouses for offices and labs. The final decision on the nurs-ing program will be made on May 1, by a faculty vote.

Most students surveyed said that they listen to the radio before classes in the morning, between 6-10 a.m. The second most popu-lar time was in the evenings be-tween 9 p.m. and midnight, while the afternoon (12 to 7 p.m.) was the time of day when fewest stu-dents listen to the radio.

Good Cont. on page 7 University student and VOC worker Marlene Hardy. With downtown Jackson under water and under a sort of quar-antine, many Bethel students were concerned about the fate of VOC. Junior Carolyn Olson contacted VOC and Rev. Snell, area pastor, and found that the churches, the VOC buildings in both Jackson and Mendenhall, as well as Jackson State, were untouched by the tragedy. Several families in Rev. Snell's congregations, however, suffered heavy losses, some losing everything. There is no expectation of fur-ther flooding, and the fortune of the VOC ministries is remarkable. In Rankin county, for example, the only highway left open after the flooding was the one leading to Mt. Pleasant Church, which became quite crowded recently. The American Red Cross helped the Jackson area extensive-ly, said Hardy, and since transportation routes are slowed or stopped Snell said there is little that the communities could use from the north. For people wanting to help stricken families, Olson suggests sending money in care of Snell, or getting in touch with her to con-tribute. Survey uncovers KABY preferences WE HAVE SOME INTEREST/NG STUDENTS HERE AT BETHEL ... . the Soapbox Laws, legalism don't equal love isi Amu% n CLARI Opinion KABY bill vague, not Senate's duty A bill stating that Bethel radio KABY "should play Christian music only" passed in the Student Senate meeting on Tuesday night. Supporting clauses within the bill stated that Bethel is a "Christian community," that we need a medium of "contemporary Christian musci" and that other music is in adequate supply on commercial radio now The bill is to be enacted as of the 1979-80 school year, provided KABY will still be in operation in the fall. It was not made effective im-mediately because KABY is currently unable to purchase a sufficient number of "Christian albums." Question: what kind of album is KABY going to purchase? It seems terribly ambiguous to differentiate "Christian music" from whatever the alternative is. The Senate's concern for our "Christian community" is valid, yet if guidelines are offered to KABY they might as well be meaningful. That will demand more specificity than is in the present bill. Some proponents of the bill tried to define "Christian music" as "music by Christian artists." Assuming they are referring to musicians who are Christians, we won't argue about the meaning of "Christian ar-tist" or whether all musicians deserve to be called artist s However, the validity of this restriction is still questionable. Certainly much religious music, sacred and gospel, is written or recorded by non- Christians. An anthem or gospel tune should not be excluded on the basis of the spirituality of its composer or performer. Conversely, what of Christians who perform music on a secular theme? Will we play their music only because they are professed Chris-tians? Even if we define "Christian 'music" by the theme of its text, which will still cause difficulties, we must question a blanket restriction on KABY's selections. Agreed, KABY should avoid music which harms the community or expresses philosophies contrary to bilbical standards. Perhaps this would be a more appropriate recommendation to give the radio staff. Recommendation, yes. Restriction, no. The Senate must be cautious of the extent of its control over student media. It is granted that the media are funded through the Student Associa-tion budget, that media heads are selected by the Communications Board, and that Senate has the power to eliminate a student medium if it seems necessary. The alternative is for Senate to offer some guidelines to KABY con-cerning what not to play. The Senate's concerns are worthy, but they should be defined in meaningful terms if they are to have any effect.

After two years of being "part" of the Bethel Community I would have to answer, to be a Christian you must do this and you cannot do that. A Christian is very legalistic and lives by a guideline of do's and don't's. These do's and don'ts ap-pear to be mostly man made. Ethics form the heart of Christ-ianity, and it is here that most controversy appears. In the true sense of the word At the first I was going to write about something with great and immediate pertinence. Springtime at Bethel, shorts, T-shirts, jog-gers, the pursuit of the golden brown, over-toasted, or scorched body look, the total abstinence from books...graduation. But no, I'd rather discuss children. Why not? Remember, that's what we all were before we came to Bethel. Alas, that some of us still are! The apostle Paul mentioned this on numerous occasion in' terms such as "milk" and "babes in Christ." It was Paul who also said cept of Christianity would be from what Christ actually expects in a Christian. According to the Bible, a Christ-ian wants to live according to the will of God. We do not have to live a certain way first, and then are allowed to become Christians. I feel that I am close to the truth when I say that after two years at Bethel, I have heard the term "lifestyle" 100 times to every time I have heard the word "Jesus." Bethel students (myself includ-ed) are so hung-up on arguing against the Bethel code of life-styles (and probably only because it comes from authority figures), that we leave the reason for Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection in the background. After attending four colleges, I have finally come to the realiza-tion that a college is only what its members allow it to be. What do we allow Bethel to be? that we would not all be sleeping, but we would all be changed. Whatever the case, such a church The members of Bethel have so much potential not being put to use. We waste our time on the minor and least-important aspects of Christianity. Instead of fighting against Bethel, we must support and be proud of our college. We must help build Bethel and allow it to grow—spiritually. In order to do this, we must be the kind of Christians that Jesus wants us to be, not what we want ourselves to be. We must not start with the lives of others, but with our own lives; and obey the words of Jesus, "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you." Let's quit making such a big deal about the legalistic aspect of Christianity and start making a big deal out of "Jesus and His Love." David H. Gerholdt would need an enormous nursery. But Jesus was also interested in children. One day when he was with his disciples, some parents escorted their children to the teacher. This was too much for Jesus' followers—what did Jesus want with these dirty urchins? He had better things to do. They rebuked the visitors, but Jesus overruled and called them to his side. "Leave them alone, let them come to me. God's kingdom belongs to ones such as these." Have you talked with a child recently? Someone told me that a Cont. on page 3 Until it comes to such a point, however, responsibility should be left in "Christianity," where does the hands of the media staffs.

I don't deny that Of course not. • Christ's love is present here, but I would conclude that it is not the heart of Christianity.

Rd. E. at Snelling Student ministry given boost by Terri Sue Hanson Senate introduced a new bill that will encourage students to be-come involved in volunteer minis-tries around the Twin Cities. Cur-rently only 200-300 students are involved in such ministries. The bill recognizes two reasons why Bethel should improve its campus ministries. Besides help-ing students carry out their Chris-tian responsibility, the poor in surrounding areas are in need of help. Therefore, the bill recommends the following resolutions. First of all, that the senate work with cam-pus ministries in involving stu-dents with local ministries. Se-cond, that the senate make a re-commendation to Dean Brushaber that there should be at least one full-time person working with stu-dents in Christian Service. Thirdly, that the senate ask the Dean to consider buying a vehicle for campus ministries. Lastly, the senate recommends to the Dean that academic credit should be awarded to those who are invol-ved in volunteer ministries. The senate is also becoming more involved through the Public Action Committee (PAC). In the past, PAC has dealt with inter-national concerns. But is has ex-panded in local areas this year at Steve Hoswell and Sue Stone's suggestions. PAC will be heading drives for clothes and canned foods. in reaction to senates recent ac-tions, Kathy Dennis, secretary in Campus Ministries, commented, "We are glad to see other people doing things.

All-school celebration for Lundquists 25th year Zeke, cont. from page 2 child is just a person, except a lit-tle person. It's true. Jesus saw something unique and special in a child. He used them as examples when he taught. Two summers ago I was wat-ching a group of four and five-year- olds at camp. We did simple things. I'd tell them stories and we would play in the sand along the lake. Near the end of the week I gave them all rides on my shoulder and after that I walked back to the main building with one of the youngest clinging to my back. I put her back on her feet. Then she looked up at me and spoke softly but clearly, "Thanks for playing with us." Those short words touched me in their simple trust and sincerity. Just a little person. I was humbled and shamed—I was a big person with so much to learn. Blessed are the children! On Easter Sunday, after the worship service, I saw some children on the sidewalk near the church building. I walked toward them and knelt to talk with one of them. She told me her name was Tristy. Her clothes were worn and tattered. On the top of her head were dark locks of gnarled hair. Her face was in desperate need of washing. She was without the traditional bright clothing that so many others had donned that morning. She wasn't even in church, but I knew she was the kind of little person 'that Jesus would embrace with his inviting love. Tristy pointed to another child nearby. "That's my cousin. I hate him." For such strong words, her tone was lacking in emotion. She could not have been more than five. Certainly she had to grow up, but it grieved me to see the dissipation of her child-likeness at such an age. When I was leaving,another of this girl's friends came over and they smiled with glowing faces and waved. There was yet hope for these little people. "Which of us is the greatest?" the disciples wrangled among themselves. Jesus responded by placing a child before them—in-deed the lowliest was truly the greatest. "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not enter the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Many a child has wandered up to me from behind and reached out to grasp the hand which dangled by my side. Their trust seems almost reckless. We must grow up to maturity and corn-pleteness, but we must also be as a perpetual child. "Blessed are the children, shel-tered in warmth of Jesus' love, precious in their trusting— they're the sweet and simple poetry from above."

PRO: Nestle's promotion attacked, boycott encouraged Editor's note: Ronn Kreps worked with INFACT before attending Bethel. by Ronn Kreps The boycott against the Swiss-based Nestle Corporation has several bases for justification. Consider the facts concerning breast-feading, bottle-feeding, and Nestle tactics, Almost all medical authorities regard breast feeding as ideally suited to the health and well-being of infants. Infant formulas are unnecessary, even where mothers are poorly nourished. In spite of this, breast-feeding is declining in developing nations. Promotion of infant formula is a major cause. In Singapore, breast-feeding rates plummeted 66 per cent in 20 years. And this is not a rare example, it is typical of the trend throughout the Third World. The result of this inferior feeding is an estmated 10 million cases of severe infant disease each year! The diseases include and/or result in retardation, malnutri-tion. and death. Economic and environmental factors heavily contribute to the ")bottle baby" syndrome. Poor mothers often do not have access to clean water, sanitary prepa-ration techniques, or refrigera-tors. Formula to feed a single baby can cost up to 40 per cent of a family's income. Thus, mothers dilute the formula, resulting in malnourished babies. And Nestle promotes this formula. Nestle uses mass media, color-ful posters, free samples, medical gifts to hospitals, reported kick-backs to doctors, and "milk nurses" to make its profits. Nestle recognizes the huge potential for profit in the Third World, so it puts a premium on promotion of its formula in those countries. "Milk nurses" are uniformed nurses hired by companies to sell their infant formula. Mothers regard nurses as experts, so they belive the nurses' message of health and happiness as a result of bottle feeding. The mothers do not realize that they are endanger-ing the lives of their own children. Knowing these things about Nestle and the formula it pro-motes, let's apply our Christianity to this situation. The biblical writers spoke for the welfare of the poor and the oppressed. Certainly the New Testament meaning of "love your Falcon Barber Stylists Upper Midwest Trophy Winner FOR WOMEN'S HAIR STYLING Call Debbie at 646-2323 neighbor" includes "do not deceive your neighbor, and do not devote your efforts to something which is detrimental to your neighbor." But our mandate is even stronger than that. God calls us, his special people, to champion the cause of the poor, the defense-less. The prophet Amos condemn-ed Israel for oppressing the poor and needy. The Lord told Jeremiah that by Thangi Chhangte In -our eagerness to express our "Christian • zeal and commitment," we often miss the boat. The Nestle boycott is a prime example. Just because someone tells us that Nestle is responsible for the death of in-fants, we rise up with righteous in-dignation without really getting to the root of the problem. It may be that Nestle and other large corporations are responsible for such an atrocious crime. But we too have a part in the crime. Our apathy and ignorance of poverty in other countries is a serious crime. In this day and age of modern technology and effi-cient communication metlods, there is no reason why we should not be aware of it. If we know so much about other planets, we should know much more about our own planet. Actually; we know what we should do but we have shut our eyes and ears because we want to enjoy "what the Lord has given to us." Instead of pointing our fingers at Nestle, we should be hanging our heads in shame. What Nestle one reason Israel had to be judged was their habit of getting rich off the poor. God wants us to follow His example in standing for the defense of victimized people. Imagine for a minute that you are a mother in Guatemala who has been led to believe that your baby needs infant formula. So you buy it, but you dilute it to make sure your baby gets enough. And the water you use to prepare has done has exposed what we as Christians have failed to do. For instance, part of the accu-sation printed by the Senate reads that "many of the mothers are il-literate and cannot read the direc-tions and also on strict incomes which causes them to dilute the formula with contaminated water, thus causing malnutrition and in-fection." First of all, let us consider the problem of illiteracy. (In his book, "What Do You Say to a Hungry World?" Stanley Mooneyham, president of World Vision International, offers some insights on this subject and other topics related to Third World countries.) Blitieracy is one of the major problems in Third World coun-tries. Yet, what have we done to it was drawn from the river, which is contaminated with human and animal waste. Soon, your baby suffers from diarrhea and weakness, then se-veremalnutrition , and finally, death. Guatemalan mother, don't you wish someone would have acted on your behalf, would have tried to stop those who deceived you? Realize Guatemalan mother, some people are trying. eradicate it? How many of us are willing to teach in some remote village, or would rather go to "civilized" countries like Japan? If only these people were taught how to think for themselves, taught the value of nutrition and sanitation, they would not be so easily exploited. Next on the list is "strict in-comes," a euphemism for pover-ty. Can we honestly say that we are only "poor students" when these people do not even have what we throw away? We know how to make the most of what we have, but our reasons for saving the money is not usual-ly for the poor. We "chicken out" when it comes to making sacrifices but we love to shout "wolf" at those who do something wrong. Poverty is also directly linked with malnutrition, disease and un-sanitary conditions. They are the number-one killers in underdevel-oped countries. Yet the poor have no choice but to live with them. If Nestle's baby formula in-directly causes malnutrition we are no less guilty. We cause mal-nutrition because we eat more than we need to and waste what we cannot eat. Ironically, a We have to become more alert to unethical practices in our world. We should not hesitate in opposing blatant "profits before people" standards. The Biblical injunction is clear. If you wish to join the Nestle boycott, write to them (The Nestle Company, 100 Bloomingdale Rd., White Plains, NY 10605) and stay informed on events concerning the boycott. dieter's popular excuse for having a big meal is, "but I'm starving!" Another accusation is Nestle's unethical use of its nurses and nutritionists. Such a deplorable act should not be allowed. However, it also raises an embar-rassing question. Why are Chris-tians not providing honest, train-ed nurses and nutritionists? The answer is that there are very few Christians willing to support missionaries, much less go out themselves. Apparently, we have chosen to ignore Christ's com-mand to "go into the world." We can proudly state examples of dedicated missionaries, slaving under hot tropical suns and hostile governments. We can also name Christian organizations that are making tremendous efforts to help the poor. But we cannot take credit for what others do. We have to honestly ask ourselves some im-portant questions. What have we done personally to help the sick, hungry and destitute? How often do we fast for the sake of those who are star- . ving? (Why support a Nestle boycott fast, and then change the date because it happens to coin-cide with a $20 meal?) We "sing and share" but do we ever really "share" with those who have nothing? Are we more concerned about the accusation that Nestle's for-mula is a killer, or about the poverty that thrives on our apathy and selfishness? If we cannot answer these ques-tions, we cannot condemn Nestle. They may have made a mistake but we have betrayed Christ. Poverty is the real killer in the Third World, and we Christians have neglected to fight it. Boycotting Nestle may elimi-nate one social evil but it will not remove the poverty curtain. We have to offer a more practical solution: ourselves. We may not accomplish much as individuals but as a united body of believers, we can change the world. Let us not forget the exam-ple Christ set in helping the poor. Crunch Nestle's Quick? CON: Nestle exposes Christians' apathy page four Rob Johnson has been named next year's Passages editor. Rob accepts editorship, plans magazine by Sari Winans The face will be familiar, but the job will be new. Rob Johnson, outgoing campus co-ordinator, has been selected to fill the posi-tion of editor for the 1979-80 edi-tion of Passages. Passages is a soft-cover magazine that was created four years ago to replace a dying year-book. "Its goal," says Rob, "is to sum up the experience of students attending a year at Bethel College." Rob believes that Passages is more than a yearbook in that it is a record of events and their out-comes during the year. He is con-cerned specifically with the 1979-80 school year. Passages attempts to express feelings and emotions experienced by people through the combina-tion of high-quality literary and artistic means. Rob, who will be a senior next fall, brings three years of experien-cing events at Bethel to this job, plus an art major with a graphics specialization which will aid him in this job. Working with Rob as literary editor is Terri Sue Han-son. She will be co-ordinating the literary part of Passages. Rob and Terri Sue want to center the theme for next year's edition of Passages around the subject of "Passages Through Time." Rob added, "I want to go deeper than what occured. I'd like to convey how the events affected us." Rob and Terri Sue plan to place a spiritual emphasis on Passages and believe that this can be ac-complished through poetry, writings, illustrations, paintings, and artistic graphic designs. Rob says that he hopes for a diversified range of student input. He feels that this is necessary if Passages is to reflect changes tak-ing place. Contests for those wishing to contribute to Passages will be held at several different intervals throughout next year. Rob says that anyone who is interested is in-vited to make a contribution. Rob and Terri Sue are excited about next year's edition of Passages and hope to carry on the "When I retire...I'm going to winter in Hawaii...build a hide-away cabin...read, write, travel to..." Even before that, have you thought of going to college? Bethel is one of 19 Minnesota colleges opening its doors again this summer for Elderhostel—a national continuing education program for anyone over 60 who desires to explore new ideas and meet new people, young and old. Offered July 8 to 14, Elder-hostel is a total living/learning ex-perience.

For additional information, contact Dr. Tricia Brownlee, director of summer programs, 641-6367. The teachers feel apart from Bethel, but they also feel that stu-dent teaching is "gradually wean-ing" them from college life out in-to the world. "It's a nice way for a senior to go out of college," Julie Wood ex-plained. "It eases you out of col-lege, and gives you something to do that you'll be doing after graduation." Not seeing friends at Bethel is hard for the teachers, but they have gained new friends. Wood is impressed with the friendliness of the full-time teachers and prin-cipals of the schools she has work-ed at. Pilch pointed out how much she enjoyed working with the children. "Each child is different," she said. "They're all individuals." She said that her "heart just goes out to those kids." The other teachers said they en-joy working with the children, also. "They get a kick out of the littlest things," Wood said. "They've taught me a lot—and their eagerness to learn is neat." Gretchen Otto added that it is exciting for her to see what the children have learned from what she's taught them. "All of a sud-den you're an example," she said. "You have an effect on the kids." Preparing for classes every day is different than studying for classes. "I never realized how much time teachers spent until I had to plan a lesson," Wood con-fessed. The daily plans include more than just preparing a reading lesson or arithmetic lesson for the children. Student teachers must also prepare bulletin boards, make dittos, cut out letters, and plan art and gym lessons. Student teachers have the op-portunity to be involved in SMEA (Student Minnesota Education Association). Otto is Bethel's president of SMEA. "SMEA helps supplement the education we get at Bethel," Otto said. It offers workshops and seminars, and helps student teachers with interviews and ap-plications for future teaching jobs. "Writing resumes and sending out applications add to the busywork that student teachers must do," said Wood. One thing that all the student teachers have said is that Bethel has a good education department which has really prepared them for teaching. "Bethel has a good reputa-tion ," Kaiser said. "Dr. Runbeck,professor of education, has done a terrific job. She re-quires a lot of her students and she's very strict with us, but I think that's what makes the Bethel program so good." "I just think Dr. Runbeck is the greatest," Wood echoed. She's been very supportive.

Henry Robertz of Robertz De-sign, Chicago donated the stat machine to the art department in March. "Robertz has felt suppor-tive of the art program here at Bethel, particularly in the graphic design area, and negotiated the Chappaqua, N.Y. (CCNS) — An essay contest offering a total of $2,000 in prizes for the best short essay written by Christian undergraduate students on "How Did You Choose Your College?" has been announced by Christian Herald magazine. Winning essays will be publish-ed in the October 1979 issue, which features the magazine's an-very convincing. Especially noteworthy is the daughter, played by Carol Mabbott, and the eldest son played by Laurence Berland. A familiarity with "The Little Foxes" would help any theatre patron to enjoy this work more fully, but even then, "Forest" is a shadow of what once was for Miss Hellman. Three acts later, an audience may feel that it has missed something. Because the play lacks anything substantial, it creates an unentertaining atmosphere and fosters complacency. "Elijah," Felix Mendelssohn's last major oratorio, will be pre-sented by the Festival Choir and orchestra as this year's Spring Music Festival and a major event of Bethel's fine arts emphasis week. The performance will be Fri-day, May 4, at 8 p.m. in the gym-nasium. The choir, conducted by Oliver Mogck, and orchestra, conducted by Charles Olson, will be joined by soloists Lorie Vincent, so-prano, Jennifer Younger, alto, Reuben Dahiquist, tenor, and Brian Mulder, bass (the part of Elijah).

Johnson was talking to Robertz on the phone at the beginning of the semester when Robertz men-tioned the purchase of a new stat machine by the company to re-place the old machine. Soon after-ward, Robertz donated the old machine to Bethel along with chemicals, an initial paper supply, two print dryers, and a film pro-cessor.

Entries must be received by the magazine on or before June 15. Essays should be 500 words or less. They will be judged on their "freshness and their potential helpfulness to Christian young people in high school who desire to follow God's leading as they select their college," said John Kenyon, associate editor. "Winning entries will combine qualities of interest with usefulness," he continued. "They will answer questions such as: What happened when you prayed about your choice? Who influenc-ed your decision? Why did a cer-tain college seem preferable to others? How did high school ac-tivities and studies influence your choice? How did career goals figure in?" The first prize winner will receive a cash award of $1,000. The second prize is $500, the third $100, and eight honorable men-tion prizes of $50 each will also be awarded. Winners will be announced in the magazine in September. Further information is available by writing: Editor, Student Essay Contest, Christian Herald, 40 Overlook Drive, Chappaqua, N.Y. 10504.

Another gift of a hand printing press along with several fonts of type, paper stock, and ink was do-nated by David Lissner, director of campus development, last spring. "Gifts here and there have helped to make teaching graphic design more feasible," said John-son. The stat machine has the poten-tial for doing both color and black and white reductions and enlarge-ments from both photographs as well as original art work. Al-though the machine will be used mainly as a teaching tool for graphic design students, it is available for the use by other de-partments for preparing art, posters, and typography. Rates and scheduling will be arranged through the art department. "We have no estimate on the equipment," Johnson said, "but new, the equipment would cost somewhere around $10,000. It is sizeable gift for which we are very grateful." '79 Passages colorful, new, coming in May by Shelly Nielsen It's almost May!

Hill oaks, and some time in the first two weeks of the month, the student-publica-tion "Passages" will be placed in the hands of the "public." The 60 page color/black and white magazine represents student body talent. Yes, the essays, pho-tographs, poems, and paintings decorating these pages are the works of those very people with whom you eat cabbage rolls in the cafeteria. A fall competition chose the li-terary and visual creations best capturing some aspect of Bethel or the inner self of a specific Bethel-ite. When was the last time you saw the innards of a friend? Disappointment with past Pas-sages may be a result of misunder-standing the magazine's purpose. Though called a "Spire replace-ment," Passages does not attempt to catalog the year in photographs the way a yearbook would. In-stead, students themselves con-struct "Passages," submitting their artistic expressions and por-traying their own subjective view-points. • The '79 "Passages" diverges from the usual format of past magazines. Editor Scott Barsuhn reported that the publication will incorporate "both full color art reproductions along with more color pages than ever before."

Written by Lillian Hellman of "The Little Foxes" fame, the play deals with an old southern family in the post Civil War South. The entire work takes place over a three-day period, almost 20 years before the events depicted in "The Little Foxes," but deals with the same family and is a preamble to that work.

He is now in charge of all of Bethel's accoun-ting. Bergeson went to Bethel for two non-consecutive years. He now has a degree in business ad-ministration from the U of M, where he later completed his work in accounting. While attending school, Bergeson held a variety of job positions. He took a course in tailoring at Minneapolis Voca-tional School, and then worked at Dayton's, altering men's suits.

KABY has reportedly de-pleted its budget for the year and cannot afford to purchase any al-bums at this time. The senate also passed the bill supporting the Nestle boycott. After heated discussion, the vote to support the action, first pro-posed at the American Associa-tion of Evangelical Students' na-tional conference, passed 11-3. The bills improving the Bethel ID and supporting Christian ser-vice were also passed. The -propo-sition to allow academic credit for Christian service work was deleted from the approved Christian ser-vice legislation. Bills to be voted on next week include adding a transfer senator position in senate, purchasing an IBM Selectric typewriter for stu-dent use, much as those in the li-brary now, and donating $150 to support the Philippine orphanage begun by Paul Healy.

His most unique experience was as a hospital orderly. Bergeson worked in the lab and in the morgue, where he assisted in autopsies. "After a few months, I transferred to physical therapy because I liked working with the living more than with the dead," said Bergeson. Bergeson did some accounting work for clients of an attorney before coming to Bethel in 1977. He first worked as an accountant in the business office, and then became acting comptroller. He was named comptroller on April 1. He manages student accounts, the banking service, payroll, and accounts payable.

The Royals started out the week by defeating Normandale 17-3 with winning pitcher Vicki Wright giving up only two walks and five hits. "It was their first game of the season," said Coach Karyl Frye, "so their pitcher had problems. They gave us 17 walks which ac-counted for most of our runs." Wright went two for three at bat, and both Cindi Ramm and Robyn Erbst went one for three. The team then lost a close game to Carleton, 3-1, on four hits. Carleton had only three hits, but they scored their runs on three crucial errors by Bethel. Tammy Miller was one for two at the plate, and Wright and Erbst followed at one for three. Linda Johnson was eight for eight in fielding. Bethel lost their second game of the day to St. Olaf 12-1. Miller led the hitting and fielding by getting two hits and going three for three in the field. "They had eight hits, including two doubles and two triples," said Frye. "The combination of those hits and the five crucial errors we had is the story of the game." The Royal's third loss in a row was to a strong reserve team from the University of Minnesota. U of M scored seven runs on seven hits in the second inning to defeat Bethel 9-3. "We had the first two batters out in that inning, but then four errors allowed them to score the seven runs," said Frye. "After that inning they only got two runs on a home run and a triple." Bethel gathered six hits, with Miller and Wright going one for three. The team won their final two games over Gustavus and Concor-dia St. Paul, 13-7 and 18-7. Wright gave up five hits and ten walks to Gustavus, but Bethel was able to contain the Gusties strongest hitters. Miller again lead hitting by going three for three with three RBI's. Bethel overwhelmed Concordia 18-7 in five innings. Concordia walked in 14 of Royal's runs in the fourth inning. Bethel collected six hits, but continued to be plagued by errors. "Our hitting was a little better," said Frye, "but our fielding was poor. Six errors is just too many." The Royals will participate in an invitational tournnament at the University of Minnesota today and tomorow, with the first game at 1 p.m., followed by games at 3 and 5 p.m. They will play again on Satur-day at 11 a.m., with possible games to follow depending on their success in earlier games. The final home game is May 1 with Augsburg at 3:30 p.m. at the King's Court diamond in Roseville. Royal batsmen scrap for runs in twinball split with Tommies by Steve Erickson The Royal baseball team seem to be making a habit of splitting doubleheaders. Tuesday the batsmen divided a twinbill with St. Thomas losing 11-2 and win-ning 5-2, to raise their season record to 4-5. The Tommies scored runs in all but one inning to ruin pitcher Tom Weko's bid for the win. Single runs were scored by St. Thomas in the first and second to take a 2-1 lead. But in the third and fourth they `widened the gap considerably. Three singles and double, sand-wiched around a twobase error, put across two runs in the third. The following inning two runs scored on a double and a pair of run-scoring singles. Bethel could only manage one run after that as the Tommie pit-cher kept Royal batters off balance by mixing up his pitches well. The run came as a result of a wild pitch, scoring Mark Forsline who had reached on a error. The second game started out as a pitcher's duel. Amid a steady drizzle, the Tommie hurler held Bethel to no hits and only one base runner, Bob Griddings who walked in the second, through four innings. The Royals' Jeff Wilson was nearly as perfect, allowing only a triple through four. But in the fifth, the Royals ruin-page eight ed the shutout. Greg Smith led off the inning by getting hit in the arm by a fastball. He advanced to third on a wild pitch and a passed ball. After Giddings flew out, Weko walked. Mark Barton followed with Bethel's first hit, a two run sing-le to center. A wild pitch moved pinch winner Mitch Duininck to third. One out later, Dan Fauth ap-peared to knock in another run but St. Thomas appealed and Duininck was called out at third. Only one Royal was ejected in the ensuing argument. Wilson got out of a jam, allow-ing only one run in the bottom of the inning, before the Royals scored three more in the seventh. Two walks and a error loaded the bases for Bethel. Cal LauWers scored on a wild pitch and Duinin-ck walked to load them up again. Wilson sent the final two runs home with a sharp single to left center. Wilson walked in one run in the bottom of the seventh but came from behind to strike out two bat-ters. He forced the last batter to ground out, saving his win on a three hitter. In earlier games, Bethel split with Augsburg, winning 4-0 and losing 6-1. Weko pitched a fine game in the opener. Greg Thom and Wilson scored in the first as Paul Lindberg singled. Wilson also pounded a home run in the seventh. by Rob Haglund The IM open league basketball season came to its exciting conclu-sion with the Eastbound Express knocking off the Swedish Fly Girls to win the B league crown and Probes disposing of the Old Men to take A league honors. The B league title was a close, exciting game that saw Peter Sauf-ferer, Steve Brown and company prove to be too much for the Fly Girls. The Express finished in third place in the regular season but went undefeated through the double elimination tournament to claim the crown. The outcome of the A league championship game was neither as close or as unexpected as the B league game. For the second time in the tournament Probes defeated the Old Men, this time by a score of 68-49. Brian Larson led the winners with 19 points (just as he led the earlier win with 22 points in a 86-66 decision), his slippery, double pumping drives wreaking havoc as they had done all year. The game though, was actually closer than the final score might indicate. Despite the sorely-missed absence of Mack Nettleton, the faculty jumped out to a 12-2 lead which was cut to 31-29 by halftime. George Palke and Dan (Twine-Tingling) Taylor were playing their usual solid game however, and it looked like the game might be close throughout. It did in fact stay close until late in the game when, with the Old Men leading 47-45, Probes ran off a 23-2 scoring spree that put the "nursing home five" to rest for good. Dave Hepburn, who tossed in 14 points (one below his regular season average), assessed the game very succinctly, "They were hot in the beginning and we weren't. Even though we were down 12-2 we didn't worry because we were getting open shots." He acknowledged that the absence of Nettleton was an important factor but still felt that Probes was the better team. "We've played together and we complement each other," he said, "We all know what we're going to do. And with the exception of Tom Klitzke's team (the Com-municables) there was no one that could really run with us." Match their running offense with an aggressive defense (second toughest in the league) and their unblemished 15-0 record is understandable. No one particular player carried them through the season. At one point or another everyone—Larson, Hepburn, Greg Nelson, Brad Nauman, Dave Bratt, Craig Hanson and Paul Lindberg—played an important role. The closest they came to defeat was their 70-65 win over the Com-municables while they defeated a maligned version of the Old Men 102-60 during the regular season for their widest margin of victory. Ironically, their closest game of the tourney was their 19-point win in the championship game. As soon as the championship game had ended, Probes was issued a challenge by the B league champions for a playoff game. It is beyond this writer why the Ex-press (even though they are a good team) would want to go through the embarrassment of a match-up against Probes. And so the legend of Probes goes on—or does it? Having com-piled a 49-2 record over the past three years, and with the memories of players like Dave Foley, Ron Nilsson, Scott Whitlock, Gary Leafblad and Paul (Chumley) Harrison who have come and gone, the question was asked—Will they be back? "We're not sure" was the answer. But undoubtedly there are 11 teams waiting in the wings who hope not. |
