THE CLARION Bethel College St. Paul, Minnesota Vol. 53, No. 24 May 12, 1978 BETHEL COLLE3L Commencement to honor largest graduating class annex delays forseen by Thangi Chhangte "One treasure, a single eye, and a sole master," is the theme for the class of 1978. It is a summary of Matt. 6:19-24 which missionary Jim Elliot paraphrased in his jour-nal. Both the baccalaureate service and the commencement exercise will be held on Sunday, May 21. The baccalaureate service will be at 10:15 a.m., presided by George Brushaber, vice president and dean. President Carl Lundquist will preside at the commencement exercise which will begin at 3 p.m. There will be 308 seniors graduating with their B.A. degrees and 15 graduating with their A.A. degrees. The class will march in alphabetical order, with the A.A.'s graduating first. This year Bethel will use The Latin terms: summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude instead of the English honor terms. Senior art majors Laurie meek-er and Rod Young have designed the backdrop and program, bas-ing their design on the motto. Laurie designed the program and Rod modified it for the backdrop with Laurie's help. Rod will paint the backdrop with help from art students. The design consists of a cross with a pair of hands reaching up to it at its base. Painted in vivid colors, circles and ovals surround the cross. For the baccalaureate service, Susan Peterson will play the organ prelude. Richard Drake will play the piano. Bruce Olsen, Suzanne Edwall Lane and Daniel Johnson (DJ) will give brief testimonies, on what Bethel has meant to them. There will also be a musical selection by Kristine Eastlund and Suzanne Pehrson. Jerry Flasschoen will read Scripture before Warren Magnuson, general secretary of the Baptist General Conference, gives his message on "The High Cost of Treasure." At the commencement exercise Mrs. Jean Christian will play the organ prelude. She will play the following number: "Mode de sol," by Jean Langlais; "Prelude, Fugue and Chaconne," by D. Buxtehude;" "Prelude and Fugue in C Major," by J.S. Bach. The processional will be David Johnson's "Processional in D." Marcello's Psalm XIX will be the recessional. The Male Chorus, directed by Oliver Mogck, will sing two selec-tions. They are: "Be Ye Reconcil-ed to God," by Carl and Mueller; "Rise Up 0 Church" (with brass), arranged by Otis and Shillings. Mark Tanquist will be the nar-rator. After Al Quie gives his address on "One Master in a Moving World," Dean Brushaber will pre-sent the class. President Lund-quist will confer the degrees and the diplomas. Towards the end of the pro-gram Jo Beld, valedictorian of the class, will give a four-minute tribute to the parents and faculty. Jo is graduating a year early. Jennifer Wood's solo "The Lord is My Light," will follow Jo's speech. There will also be an alumni banquet on Saturday, May 20, planned by the alumni office. Featured will be the "Sons of Light" quartet and Jeff Miller's production of a variety show bas-ed on the class motto. Dean Palermo will help him out musically. The program consists of light music selections, very similar to those used in Moods. Seniors will be performing in it. A committee of Student Senate seniors and non-senate ap-pointees has been largely respon-sible for planning the programs. This year's is the largest graduating class Bethel has ever had. On May 1, competition began for Fulbright scholarships for graduate study or research abroad in academic fields, and for profes-sional training in the creative and performing, arts. It is expected that approx-imately 550 awards to 50 coun-tries will be available for the 1979-80 academic year. The purpose of these grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. They are provided under the terms of the Mutual Education and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright- Hayes Act) and by foreign govern-ments, universities, and private no dorm, by Bruce Olsen At the time this newspaper went to press, most of the trade unions had settled on a new con-tract, thus averting a possible strike that could have stopped construction on the new dor-mitories and LRC annex. "I wouldn't say we're out of the woods, but it's turning out a lot donors. Applicants must be U.S. citi-zens at the time of application. To qualify for most awards, they should have received a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant, and should be proficient in the language of the host country. Except for certain specific awards, candidates may not hold a Ph.D. at the time of application. Creative and performing artists are not required to have a bachelor's degree, but they must have four years of professional study or equivalent experience. Social work applicants must have at least two years of profes-sional experience after the Master of Social Work degree. better than we thought it would," said Dave Lissner, director of community relations at Bethel: Although not all of the trade unions had settled on a new con-tract, the outlook for settlement seemed good. It is expected that all of the unions will have noted on a new contract by the end of this week. Lissner believed that it was unusual for the unions to settle as quickly as they have. He noted that over $300 million worth of construction is taking place in the seven county area, which would give unions some good bargaining power. But is seems that both sides are willing to make some compro-mises, as settlement has occurred rather rapidly. If the remaining unions did vote to strike, this might affect the entire construction operation, even if striking members were not participating in the construction. Lissner believed that striking members would set up picket lines on construction locations, thus keeping non-striking members from crossing those lines. This would have the effect of causing all the trade unions to stop work. If one of the trade unions did vote to strike, it could last anywhere from two weeks to four months, according to Lissner. When asked if there are any other construction delays that might occur before the comple-tion of the dorms, Lissner responded, "We don't see them now."

Lifestyle enforcement letter, p. 2 Senior parting shots, p. 5 Two big happy families, p. 6 Athletes of the year, p. 11 Letters to the editor can't believe it! I can only take so much, so knock it off! Three strikes, you're out! Richard Scott Franklin Solution! Dear editor, I have a simple solution to the housing problem next year; a six-year old could think of it! If you can't properly house them, don't enroll them! How old is the average ad-ministrator? Richard Mitchell 'Accusations should be made in person,' analysis concludes Dear editor, It has come to my attention over the past week that the method of enforcing lifestyle stipulation should be re-examined. Lifestyle principles at Bethel must be enforced in order that we do not become another Hamline University or Macalester College. However, how we enforce these standards are important. The Biblical principles concern-ing our duty to a brother are clear: "Brethren, if a man is over-taken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness...(Galatians 6:1) "So you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow." (II Corinthians 2:7) My beef at this point, is not with the administration, for it has tried its best in handling issues of this nature in the best way possi-ble. However, if they could learn to deal with the complaintants as efficiently as they have learned to handle the offenders, the matter might move along more smoothly. I am more bothered by the group of individuals who feel so led to go to the administration with complaints lodged against students, that they have formed through apparent close observa-tion. It is a great frustration to me that these individuals are so con-cerned, yet obviously not con-cerned enough to approach the individual involved. If I am guilty of causing a brother to stumble, or going against the lifestyle policy that Bethel has ordained, then I will willingly admit to it, for only a fool lies about himself. If however I am not aware of the suspicions voiced and therefore am not guilty, I would appreciate the consideration of the complaintant in clearing it up with me first, because people aren't too fond of being slandered. Again I must commend the ad-ministration's ability to at least have brought these suspicions to my attention, for if they hadn't, I'm quite certain that the rumors would still be circulating. One thing I would, however, like to point out to the administration is this: If someone comes to you with a complaint in regards to a student or staff member, please en-courage him to confront the in-continued on page 3 Student complains about 'other housing' Dear editor, Even though I am transferring, I found it extremely coincidental that Bethel let the students com-pletely register and then let them know that old campus was the "other housing." Since I am in Male Chorus and we are going to be in Europe, I will be glad to see if there is "something rotten in Denmark?" (i.e., Wm. Shakespeare's "Hamlet"). Shakespeare lives! Steve Hoswell -more complaints Dear editor, Since when has Bethel been so palsy-walsy with the U.S. govern-ment? We wait six years to sell the old campus and now we want to rent it back? Something tells me that this is not too bright! David Rasmussen -and another one Dear editor, Ha! Ha! Ha! Bethel has such a sense of humor. I can't handle it. What's a boy to do? Tee hee, tee hee. A year ago we heard the joke about the Chanhassen, this year it was the flat fee (I still have cramps!). And now we have old campus housing...again! Har, har! I just editorial Editor gets syrupy over this year's accomplishment An unusual occurrence frequents this column this time of the year—an editorial of praise and adoration. Since this is the final Clarion of the school year, it would usually seem fitting for me to blast and slander someone's reputation. There would be no way for anyone to get in a rebuttal for next week's issue, for there is no issue until next September. But the decision has been made to go out like a lamb, something like the month of March is supposed to do. Praise for an accomplishment well done often occurs on this campus, but rarely can it be seen for a year's duration. Most of those who work long and hard hours "behind-the-scenes" seldom get the recognition they deserve. This column will be devoted to those individuals who have put in some long hours to make student life at Bethel a little more bearable and enjoyable. Mention must be made of this year's Campus Coordinators, Cynthia Green and Scott Barsuhn. They have bolstered the CC office dramatically since the tragic 1976-77 school year with a dazzling array of on and off-campus events. Never in my four years at Bethel have I seen such dedication from the Campus Coordinators. Student Association leaders Tad Johnson and Mark Carlson have likewise done a fine job. Although they had some problems handling the flat fee debacle, they managed to pull through and hand the Woods/Torgerson ticket some ground on which to build. Passages editor Darrel Nelson and his staff should also be commended for the fine job they have done on this year's magazine. This is one year-long project that very few are actively engaged in its production, although the hours of participation are literally number-less. Then there is always the Clarion staff. Leading off the list is Holly Schmiess, this year's new editor. She has provided an effective and much-needed balance for the conservative and sportsminded editor of this newspaper. My thanks go out to her for challenging my ideas and thoughts. Suzi Wells (copy editor) and Nancy Naumenko (production editor) have spent some long hours putting this paper together both grammatically and structurally. The devotion to their work has made this staff the most well-organized and efficient staff in Clarion history. Columnists Dan Erickson and Dave Shelley have been better than I ever expected. Their humorous and subtle approaches towards a number of "sacred cows" have made their columns one of the most enjoyable things to read in the Clarion. Thanks also to Arlan Swanson, who managed to live under the auspices of a business-minded editor. The books have never been better, Arlan. In terms of photographers, Mark Holmes has been the epitomy of efficiency. I have had numerous compliments on this year's photography, much of which should be given to Mark. This year's sports editor, Greg Kuntz, made last year's look like an inefficient waterboy. Even with other commitments taking up his time, Greg continued to put out some high quality material, including the bulk of this year's sports photos. Juan Ramos, in his first year as newspaper cartoonist, did a remarkable job, considering the past experiences of Clarion cartoonists. I am sure Juan will continue to improve his cartoons in next year's paper. Of course, special word should be made of those writers who submitted articles on a weekly basis. They include Thangi Chhangte, Steve Erickson, Rob Haglund, Terri Hanson, Carol Madison, Lisa Mills, Shelly "Squirrel" Nielsen, Paul Olsen, Greg Smith and Dave Terpstra. Thanks also to all those who wrote occasionally to help fill a need. My thanks to all of these people, and those I forgot to name, who have made this year at Bethel a successful one. Thanks for your participation and involvement in times when apathy seems to take the front seat on today's college campuses. It's your participation that has made this year one of the most productive in Bethel history. Westmont students fast SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (CCNS)—Some 70 per cent of the Westmont College student body participated in a recent one-day fast, donating the $1.20 each of them would have spent on food that day to the Potter's Clay, a campus organization which sends students to Mexico to evangelize. Steve Osborne, Dining Com- Page 2 mons manager, told The Horizon student newspaper that a 50 per-cent participation would have been "something extraordinary." Said Gordon Aeschliman, fast coordinator: "I didn't expect this many students to fast. I was really pleased with the turnout." The ef-fort helped send 150 Westmont students to Baja (Lower) Califor-nia this Easter. ;"";;.'t O ,tanr. 3 4 English, linguistics, music dept.'s gain, modify courses, instructors fr THE CLARK by Thane Chhangte Some courses - are being modified next year. Others are being given "college-level reading" names. There are also some new additions. All the courses have been discussed and approved by the Curriculum Administrative Ad-visory Committee, which consists of four faculty members and four students. When teachers want to make curriculum changes, they must present their proposed changes to Dwight Jessup, director of academic affairs. Major changes have been made in the English department. Literary Forms has been split into two parts: Literature in Critical Perspectives and Major Modes of Literary Expression. Prosody has also been renamed Poetry Writing. Advanced Ex-pository Writing has been chang-ed into the more readable title Essay Writing. The reason Lit. Forms has been split is because teachers have had different approaches to it and have found it difficult to deal equally with all the different ap-proaches. Literature in Critical Perspec-tives will stay with the critical ap-proach. Christian Weintz, pro-fessor in language and literature , will be teaching it. Major Modes of Literary Ex-pression (quite a mouthful) will look at genre, fiction, poetry and drama in literature. Lorraine Eitel, instructor in writing/writing coordinator, will teach this by Shelly Nielsen Saying "So Long" to Bethel is hard. It's harder yet realizing you won't again walk its sacred halls till professors distribute their un-fair demands via novel-length syllabi in September. It's unbearable when between you and that blissful return stret-ches three months of survival in "the world!" It's mid-May. Mom's been hin-ting "Why don't you come home for the summer?" MacDonalds has doubled application-blank output, and the old, spiritual glows on Bethelite faces have wilted. Every downcast student knows—has experienced—the trauma ahead. He must begin again to cope with the problem of remaining Christian in pagan sur-roundings. The moment he crosses that boundary between Snelling Avenue and Bethel Drive, the eternal battle begins. The believer lived 17-18 miserable years before Bethel deemed he had suffered enough and opened its doors to him. On course. Most students will agree that the popular title Lit. Forms is easier to handle than the new ones. Next year, the linguistics department will have the a new teacher - William Smalley. He and Donald Larson, chairman of the linguistics department, will teach Discovering Language. This course will replace Macrol-inguistics and Microlinguistics, both formerly taught by Larson. Larson said his objective is to help students discover their own by Dave Terpstra There will be quite a diverse spreading of Bethel's students and faculty members when summer finally rolls around with all of its remarkable possibilities. Some will partake of a three-month hibernation of sleep, while others will be working furiously to try to accumulate enough money to pay for next year. Yet there is another possibility open to students this summer— more school! The summer school program appears to be going well for this second year. Kathy Nevins, who is in charge of this year's program, recently said that she is "pleased that students have taken such great in-terest in it this year. It's something about taking courses in the summertime that makes the classes less formal, more of a sub- May 18, that long, nightmarish pilgrimage begins again. Each right-on-with-the-Lord in-dividual steps into the sludge of society. Armed with nothing but a Bible and his notes from "Pro-phets" class, he must live righteously in a world crawling with sinners. After thriving in the protective spiritual womb of Bethel, spotless "community-members" face the disheartening prospect of life in the real world. Real, to the pampered Chris-tian, means associating with peo-ple who wear tank tops, read movie ads in the newspaper, and watch the beer commercials when they come on T.V. It is necessary to spurn a socie-ty that thinks nothing of using the vulgar terms "hairdresser," "op-posite sex," and "avacado pit." These words are picked off the street. Immoral individuals know no better. They repeat what they hear. The Bethelite has, by ad-monishment and example, a fair idea of what is acceptable behavior and what is wicked hanky-panky. His basic human "inner language" which everyone has. Creative Musical Experience is a new course designed for non-music majors (with some keyboard experience). It will em-phasize music fundamentals such as developing the ear, recognizing chord structures, and learning music language. Most of the work will be done on the keyboard.

Current Bethel students com-prise the majority of the summer students, while students from non-Christian colleges who want a Christian education are also at-tracted to the program. Those, who need or desire the extra courses to graduate or those with double majors can benefit from the lower tuition rates charged during the summer. On a negative note, however, some of the classes were can-celled because of a lack of enroll-ment. At present, there are no ex-act figures of how many courses were cancelled. Students living in college hous-ing will be living either at Foun-tain Terrace or at the Arden Hills campus for $18 per week. The food service intends to remain open Monday-Friday during the summer also. nature, however, leaves him susceptible to these corrupt in-fluences. He must always be on a nerve-wracking alert for the forces of evil. Secular slang is yet another of the dangers to be avoided during the sojourn through wordly liv-ing. A shocking number of students succumb to this tempta-tion, returning to Bethel with the words of the world still on their lips. "Rats," "groovy," and "rock band" integrate their vocabulary, infecting formerly holy speech. Every fall; alarmed ad-ministrators face the responsibili-ty of converting uncontrollable hoodlums back into human be-ings of the Christian faith. In-dividuals can only avoid this degeneration during those threatening months of June- August by continuously humming Imperials tunes while on the job, in the bus, or at the grocery store. Bethel is beautiful people. We alone, its spiritually pure com-munity members, can keep it that way—by resisting the abomina-tions of secular society. by G.W. Smith The Bethel Student Senate, in a recent session, voted to take over the responsibilities of the distribu-tion of the Twin Cities Reader. Earlier this year a controversy developed in which students reacted unfavorably to the disposal of the copies of the Reader. Many felt that Bethel had discontinued to sponsor the Reader as a form of censorship. Senate Vice President Jim Torgerson dispelled that rumor. "The issue was misunderstood," said Torgerson. "The students thought the Reader had been discontinued because of the ques-tionable want ads." The Reader first came to Bethel when the drama depart-continued from page 2 dividual on his own, and then consult with you. In this way you will weed out those outlandish rumors and suspicions and breed a high quality of love and ethics, for which this school is known. And now to the "observant in-dividuals:" If you have a gripe against someone in the school, please go the them and honestly try to reach an understanding. If you don't have the courage to do this, at least show up for the inter-view in the administrative offices with the suspect. TO „.E. i3 1.1% d°1i 8. telle•A'`g ment requested its distribution. Student affairs approved that re-quest and the drama department assumed responsibility for the Reader and its circulation. When the drama department dropped the responsibility for the Reader's distribution, student af-fairs elected to drop the distribu-tion altogether. In an effort to provide students with the services they desire, Stu-dent Senate decided to accept responsibility for the Reader's distribution. The student affairs once again approved a request to circulate the Reader on campus. Senate will act as the distribu-tion point for the Reader, an ac-tion, according to Torgerson, which will help students feel com-fortable visiting the Senate office in the future. It frustrates me to know that so many of you are so ardent to reveal information to the ad-ministration, yet not quite so ar-dent as to confront the individual in question. To th6se of you who have been through this process on the suspect end, if you are not guilty, try and forgive the plaintiffs for the lack of an apology. What they say can be dangerous and detrimental to an individual who is sincerely seek-ing the Lord, and a community-devoted to such a cause.

The function of student men-tors is three-part, says Redin: 1. Career development. Stu-dent mentors will pose questions that help "their" freshmen/trans-fers set academic and career goals, discover abilities, and pos-sibly choose a tentative area of concentration. 2. Orientation. Student men-tors will help identify students personally and refer them to sources of help for problems no one else is aware of. 3. College success. Student mentors will assist "their" ad-visees in adjusting to college life and working towards academic goals, including choosing summer work that would contribute to those goals. Redin says faculty advisors will be equipped next year with better written materials and special training to help incoming students. The Thursday before Welcome Week, faculty advisors and student mentors will join in a training session. Student mentors will begin con-tacting freshmen, not during Welcome Week, when they are swamped with impressions, but three or four weeks into the term when they can mean serious busi-ness. The peer counseling system, in 1979-80, will carry over to sophomores as well as repeat for that year's freshmen. At the end of their sophomore year, students are expected to have a chosen major and be plugged in with an appropriate departmental ad-visor.

Supervisors of Residences Shirley Mullen and Tim Herr-mann, and Redin, are interview-ing the applicants Thursday, Fri-day, and some on Monday. by Holly Schmless Fourteen students and 25 facul-ty members will advise next year's freshmen and transfer students. A new peer counseling program, under auspices of academic af-fairs, but designed and initiated by Paul Redin, director of career counseling and placement, will improve the all-faculty advising system. Student mentors can be asser-tive counselors in a way that faculty members do not have the time to be, Redin said. "We need an aggressive program of reaching out to students, instead of waiting for them to come to us," he ex-plained. Volunteer faculty will still ad-vise freshmen, but after the stu-dent mentors have done much of the counseling preliminary to writing up an academic program. Each student mentor, twelve for freshmen and two for trans-fers, will be responsible for 50 new students. Faculty advisors will counsel 25, or half of each large group. Each student men-tor, then, will cooperate with two faculty advisors. Redin says the peer counseling program is budgeted to allow each advisee about two and a half hours per year of personal coun-seling in addition to larger train-ing sessions with his or her stu-dent mentor. "Under the faculty advising system, there has never been anywhere near that much time per student.

(CCNS)—Nine residents of a men's dorm at George Fox Col-lege pedaled 150 miles on bicycles to the Oregon Coast and back to raise funds for a former biker from London, England, paralyzed from the neck down in a bus-truck accident. David Rookard, now hospita-lized in Phoenix, Ariz., and George Fox student Bruce Rhodes became friends after meeting while biking down the Oregon Coast several months ago, the Office of College Rela-tions noted. When Bruce learned of his friend's tragic accident and of mounting medical expenses he was incurring, he decided to enlist the help of his dorm mates in the fund-raising effort.

In case they don't make the mark, and even if they do, SMP has planned a car wash for May 13. They urge everyone to bring their cars. Once they reach their goal, SMP will be able to provide 50 per cent of the necessary support for each SMP'er. The remaining support must be raised by the individual students for his one to three month project. Dan Johnson, president of SMP, asks that aside from finan-cial support, we all give them our prayers and encouragement. Each SMP'er would appreciate your letters and prayers as they are out on the mission field. Summer addresses will be posted on the Christian Service board. Student mentors advise freshmen in new by David Shelley Dear graduating seniors, Time for memories. You start hearing all those congratulations and you find yourself saying, "What am I doing here? Where has the time gone?" It was a fast four years, for most of you. It would have been just four years for a few more of you if we had been on the flat-fee tuition all along, if you would have stayed here at all. You won't quite remember how the Senate under Dan Nelson fought to change to a per-course fee structure. No, that was before your time. When you started the student president was Marshall Shelley. Wait a minute, maybe that four years does seem like a good while back. Judy Harrington was Clarion editor. I know, nobody remembers Clarion editors, but what about the column by Paul Healy, and "Ourtickle" by Mort, Timmy and Andy? Speaking of Clarion, remember the graffiti controversy: Ah, things have changed a bit since then, no? Which reminds me, there was also Pastor Lawson. That was also the year people were arguing over Richard Nixon's pardon. And enrollment at Bethel was somewhere around 1450. And coffee shop ice cream was $.20, or was it $.15? Campus Coordinators were Dave Mortensen (you know, Mort) and squirrely Shirley Van Wambeke. And the football team had its first winning season in 10 years, 5-4. Dr. Piper was new to Bethel. And that was the year of the "great schism," when college and seminary had separate commencement ceremonies for the first time. "Diary of Anne Frank" was presented that year, as was "Screwtape" and "Romeo and Juliet." The bowl of rice program began, and College Choir toured to California. They left during a March blizzard. Chuck Haaland and Paul Greeley lost the spring election to Mark Johnson and Bob Moeller. Oh yeah, Chuck Haaland. Some things don't change so much. Students were complaining about over-crowding and food service prices, "I Do, I Do" was showing at the Chanhassen, the Vikings were getting into the playoffs (period) and Mike Monroe was giving concerts at Bethel. Traditions exist. But think of all the experiences, all the learning, all the growth and expansion of four years. Now I ask, hasn't it made an impact on your life? You really aren't the same people who frolicked in here in 1974. You were freshmen; now you're college grads. Mind-boggling, isn't it? Four years ago, friends, you sat in Freshman Colloquy and slept under lectures on the value of liberal arts education. Now you have it. Now you have to face the barrage of "What are you going to do with it?" questions. And my only advice is that you look that questioner straight in the eye and answer thoughtfully, "I'm going to remember it." it." Annal of pets, peeves: seniors speak out This year I have enjoyed im-mensely the various personalities in the philosophy department.

(Daniel Kent) Johnson If there is one thing that I've learned in my four years at Bethel, it's the importance of relationships, whether it is with God or friends. And just like God expects us to tithe, I think He ex-pects us to be good stewards of our time. I'm getting married June 3 (a beauty) and according to zoo of-ficials, I have a fair to good chance of getting a Sanitary Ground Surveyor position. Mike Anderson Many people throw around the cliche, "Bethel is people," at graduation time. But really, it's more than that. Bethel is girls. If I knew when I started school what I know now about Bethel women and the need to concentrate on studies, I would have graduated years ago (I think). The one startl-ing revelation about my tenure here is that I gave Bethel women the best years of my life. Motto: Education is an in-depth study in procrastination. Chuck Haaland After four years at Bethel I would like to thank and recognize Arlan Swanson, a close friend of mine. He has spent countless hours with me in the coffee shop, eating chocolate-chip ice cream. Although less than academically inclined, he has been a truly ex-emplary Bethelite. Arlan Swanson I would like to extend a per-sonal declaration of appreciation to the Tom Koenigsbergs, Larry Jacobs, John Priestlys, Randy Mitrovitches, Gordie Franzens, Tim Lanes, Peter Ludlows, Steve Johnsons, and Dale Johnsons of this world: gentlemen, your cor-respondence has made my college experience beyond compare and to you I am eternally indebted. William Healy In light of a recent evaluative excursus through that differen-tiated entity of my phenomenal field known as "the Self," I would like to say: 1) to C.H., S.G., B.G., P.P., D.H., K.W., and "Doc," I love you. 2) to everyone: Make God's omnipotence your expectation!

Mark Carlson How does a graduating senior R.A. feel as the ominous "G-Day" approaches? Both exhilarated and saddened. Exhilarated because there will be an end to "panty-raided draw-ers," "T.P. in the R.A. room," and the "after-date inquisition" which included: "What would you think of 24 bridesmaids? (Hint hint)." Sadness is also a definite feeling that will go with me because I can't help wondering how they will do next year—without me! Answer: Probably very well! After graduation I plan to at-tend the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Deborah Andolino For me the A.C. means "A Challenge." In that building of classes and faculty I learned to fuse the principles of my faith with certain priniciples of social science to form a stronger cable of truth. This process involved a lot of sleepless nights, long prayerful walks, a wet-shouldered hubby, and some late papers. But the end product—me—is better equipped to serve God and His creation. I will be living on a farm with my husband in Cannon Falls, Minnesota practicing social work with either the youth, the aged, or the mentally retarded. Belinda Peterson I am most bugged about the lack of decent pianos in this school. As a struggling pianist, it has been most frustrating to have to contend with stuck keys, notes that never quit, and the like. The high charge for music lessons is exhorbitant considering these conditions. Thoughtfully submitted, Elaine Stumbo Bethel has given me exper-iences which I wouldn't trade for anything; —Like breaking into the LRC after hours. —Like raiding Mom Almer's apartment. —Like driving from the faculty lot to the dorm via Health Ser-vice. —Like playing "Theme from Star Wars" as a chapel postlude. Thank you, Bethel, Jonathan Pepper People are like cowpies: hard on the outside but soft on the in-side. Don't step on them. This summer I plan to build ga-rages and hopefully find a job in social work. I plan on staying in the Twin Cities. Jim Tjernlund This fall, thirty students FROM HALF A DOZEN CHRISTIAN COLLEGES WILL BE STUDYING TOGETHER, FOR COLLEGE CREDIT, IN THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY OF LINCOLN, OREGON. The Oregon Extension is a one semester, inter-disciplinary, liberal arts program, sponsored by Trinity College, and conducted in an old lumber mill town in southern Oregon's Cascade Mountains, just outside Ashland, Oregon. The course of study runs from August 27 to December 16, 1978, 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 interaction. The goal of the faculty is to help you equip yourself to be a thinking Christian in today's society. Study is undertaken in the context of ongoing community relationships, common work and common worship, extra-curricular learning—a visit to San Francisco, a backpack in Three Sisters Wilderness, a strenuous climb of Mt. Shasta. Costs are somewhat 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. Douglas Frank, Trinity College, Deerfield, IL 60015. Do you belong there? READ THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF A THREE WEEK UNIT OF STUDY. IF IT'S WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO IT. Segment One: Modern Visions of Human Nature. The first segment begins with ourselves: what is the nature of the creature who is undertaking this study? More specifically we ask: how are we conditioned by our biological natures, and to what extent? Broadening the same questions: how have people responded to the old question of freedom vs. determinism? Is there a biblical view of human nature, and how have theologians interpreted the biblical evidence? This might involve us in a discussion of soul and body, or of the effect of sin on human nature. We seek enlightenment through study of psychologists like Freud, the behaviorists, the humanists or the Gestaltists; philosophers like Kierkegaard, Sartre or Heidegger (perhaps through reading William Barrett's Irrational Man); biologists, animal behaviorists and ethologists (such as Lorenz, Ardrey and company and their critics); theologians and biblical scholars; and generalists such as Ernest Becker (Escape from Evil) and Floyd Matson (The Broken Image). We usually find meat for discussion in the plays we attend at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. During the research portion of the segment students have studied Jung, Tournier, Twain, Dostoevsky, Darwin, C. S. Lewis, Heidegger, Marx, feminism and the wisdom literature of the Old Testa-ment among other topics.

Yes, it is possible. Matter of fact, that is how we kicked off our first Student Leader breakfast last Wednesday morning. Our pieces may not qualify for the Walker Art Gallery but we had fun getting gooey while we learned a little bit more about each other. By involving people from SSM, SMP, ISA, Senate, the Clarion, C.C. office, and the Intramural staff, we hope to promote spiritual unity so that each of us will be more effective in our respective areas. Spectacle Lake near Cambridge was the site of our executive board retreat this past weekend. We laid out our strategy for next year: priorities, deadlines, etc. Time was also spent analyzing our effort so far. Looking back, we see evidence of a growing rapport between the students and the administration. The recent housing situation stands out as an exception and is cause for concern. Forced to take the role of merely reacting to a situation of which we had no foreknowledge, we feel limited in the amount of positive input we can offer. As a Senate, we feel much more comfortable in an atmosphere of openness where we are adequately informed and free to have constructive input before final decisions are made. Not only would this lessen the degree of student resentment, but our time wasted trying to second-guess the administration would be eliminated. Another topic of discussion was Senate's role in Bethel as a whole. Within the context of community, Senate becomes more than just an opportunity to develop skills in leadership and decision making. Jesus' words about servanthood need to become a reality in our lives. Realizing that we have lofty goals, a mutual responsibility, and limited abilities, we are seeking results that go beyond free university, an autonomous budget and agenda/impact statements.

While enjoying the afternoon's pleasantries on the porch of his lavish suburban apartment, Dana "Big D" Olson, godfather of the renowned Rigatoni family, was hit in the familiar gangland fashion. From an upper level balcony, four henchmen of the archrival Spumoni family unloaded their arsenal of buckets, severely dren-ching Papa Rigatoni. Although waterfights are a common occurrence on the Bethel campus, especially during the advent of spring, the spirit of the warring families holds an overpowering significance. Scruples cast aside, the family, either Spumoni or Rigatoni, allows nothing to mar a pre-designated hit. On Nov. 19, David Charles Foley answered the telephone at Rigatoni headquarters. As he did, members of the Spumoni family stormed the door of the plush apartment and drenched the un-suspecting Rigatoni. The head-quarters was splattered with the telltale signs of a gangland slay-ing. Two days later, Rocko Tengwall was caught attempting to break into the Spumoni residence. He never made it. Nov. 27 arrived silently. By late evening, all was calm. Todd "TAJ" Johnson, returning from a weekend delivery to Chicago, ar-rived at Rigatoni headquarters an-ticipating a warm reception. Shivering from the pre-December cold, he scurried across the park-ing lot to the building. Before he could reach the porch, he had been hit, and the tailor-made suit he was wearing suffered from the merciless blow. Shortly thereafter, an elegant candlelit memorial was erected in Spumoni headquarters honoring the successful hits on the four Rigatoni members. The members of the Rigatoni family, not to be outdone, claim-ed welcome revenge on the night of April 27. The Rigatoni family cleverly crept into Spumoni head-quarters while the members of the Spumoni family slept peacefully in their beds. Within moments, the Spumonies had been severely maimed by a barrage of water never before unleashed. Accor-ding to Papa Rigatoni, their fami-ly cherished the taste of sweet vic-tory. "Easily their most vulnerable member," says "Big D", "is Dean `Sky-Hi' Kaihoi." On one occa-sion, the Rigatonies captured Kaihoi in their apartment, cat-ching him from behind. Holding him by the shorts, the Rigatonies drenched the helpless Spumoni. Another time Kaihoi's keys were frozen in a block of ice and placed in the freezer for safety. Although their history has been marked by repeated violent out-bursts, the two families now stand as one and plan continued growth and expansion in future years. In December, the two families met to discuss efforts at making peace. The conference was thwarted when Spumoni god-father Dino Kaihoi approached the conference table armed. Papa Rigatoni quickly retreated, barely avoiding an ambush organized by the remaining members of the Spumoni family. Olson called it "the bleakest moment of warring history." An investigation into the origin of the two families reveals a peculiar history. Of the nine cur-rent family members, seven trace their roots to a brotherhood known as "the Penthouse." In 1976 that organization split into various factions but in 1977 members of the original organiza-tion banded together once again. On three separate occasions this past year, the two families reached truce agreements. Dur-ing January, in retaliation for the several blatantly slanderous com-ments of an objective citizen, the families combined to hit the per-son of David Clarence Lowery. Lowery is survived by his room-mate and his pet goldfish, Bub-bles. A championship broomball team with an undefeated record stands as the second indication of family unity in its early stages. The third combined gathering took place on April 30, 1978. Spumoni member Pete "John-boy" Peterson successfully lured the unsuspecting G.W. "Luigi" Smith into the grounds of battle, where Luigi received a pelting akin to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Because he gallantly managed to survive the grueling ordeal, Luigi was later accepted into the Spumoni clan. In September, two family member, Dino "Sky-Hi" Kaihoi and Paul "Vincenzo" Jepsen, will leave Minnesota to establish charter organizations. Kaihoi will travel to Duluth to command the inland shipping trade and Vincen-zo will organize a West Coast chapter of the Spumonies in Seat-tle. "All in all," said Papa Rigatoni, "the year with the family has been a triumphant one." Considering the future, Bartoliomio Nelson revealed new sidelines to be developed. Beginning in September, the families will offer protection for a fee. Also in the planning stages is the possible infiltration of the Clarion. "The alliance will be united next year," said Olson, "and we'll be ready to take on all comers."

Lockman In the past, The Park Square Theatre has not been known for its brilliant productions. In fact, it hasn't been known much at all. That's a real shame. The size and the casualness of the theatre makes for a fun evening, without the false sense of theatrical snob-bery. Well, the Park Square Theatre is finally getting its act (or scene) together. Its last produc-tion was "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare. It was done well, with good directing and excellent acting (in-cluding former Bethelite, Jack Starr). The current production is following this trend towards quality. "Angel Street" by Patrick Hamilton, is an English Victorian suspense guaranteed to make your palms sweat, your hair stand on end, and your breathing to be stopped beyond any mortal length of time. The plot involves a maniacal husband, systematically driving his helpless wife crazy and a curiously wonderful chief inspec-tor seemingly coming to the rescue. Or is he? Perhaps Mrs. Manningham is actually going crazy and Chief Inspector Rough is only a dream of hers. Perhaps Mr. Manningham is the long-suffering husband that he makes himself out to be. Maybe he does have good reason to attract the interest of the kit-chen maid, Nancy. And what went on in the closet? What possible reason could Mr. Manningham have for driving his wife insane? These questions are answered with a great deal of tension. Director Michael Scahill has managed to stretch this tension throughout the play without driv-ing the audience to breakdowns. He could have kept us wondering a little longer if he had made Jack (Mr. Manningham) more human. As it was, Jim Brown as Mr. Manningham was so politely sini-ster, I wanted to invite him to a full dress poisoning. Alison Stair Neet, as Mrs. Man-ningham, held the audience with the extremes of ecstasy and paranoia. She had so much energy throughout the play that I would have liked to have seen more of the normal Mrs. Mann-ingham. Nonetheless, she kept the audience going, wondering if she was crazy or not. The two maids, Elizabeth (Naomi Johnson) and Nancy (Pamela Palan) were adequate. The main drawback to these two characters was the difficulty the actresses had effecting English ac-cents. The magical performance of the evening was given by Philip Morton. His Chief Inspector Rough was a character that was endearing to the audience and at the same time added to the suspense. His combination of jollity, dar-ing patience, and serious inten-tion kept the audience hoping that he was on the level, yet wondering if he weren't part of the plot against Mrs. Manningham or if he weren't the only one plotting. Mr. Morton stole the show. I gladly concede the prize. The set and costumes were amazing, considering what Phil Groff and Kaisa had to work with and the time involved. The set gave the impression of middle-class Victorian England without getting in the way of the action. The costumes were authentic with no obvious anachronisms. That was encouraging, consider-ing some of them were from the Bethel costume department. All in all, "Angel Street" pro-vides an evening of spine-tingling entertainment for those with ter-minal sweaty palms or those who just like a good story.

Auditions were held Thursday, May 4, and six students were chosen from 50 to record the commercials the next day. Five 60 second spots were recorded in 90 minutes, and each participant was paid $50. The humorous commercials stress minimizing power usage, especially during the peak hours. well as challenge and demand, Bruce has fulfilled his role. He's been known to put on ten extra miles twice a week for car-less staff members, tidy the office with the same frequency, absorb the fudge-factor in bills at My Pi and Burger King, furnish Kleenex for an entire runny-nosed staff, and provide coffee, during late-night vigils. He's made hundreds of phone The spots will be played on 21 local radio stations around the rural areas, and possibly on WCCO. "The recordings will be a nice credit for the kids," said Rain-bow. "They can be put in their portfolios for future reference." Juan Ramos agreed with Rain-bow. "Some of the kids were more interested in the money, but I just wanted the experience. Now that they have my name, they may call me in the future," he added. calls and tolerated every excuse known to editors, including those of his own immediate staff. He's shown respect for opinions other than his own, and solicited them in writing editorials and handling sticky situations, work-ing with us, not over us. And he's written articles (as many as three an issue) that no one else would, or could because the stories broke at awkward times. This is all besides dealing responsibly with a lot of storms Bethel has weathered this year— sale of old campus, fee structure change, and building and zoning problems. We marvel that he's success-fully maintained high grades, an engagement to a school teacher in Iowa (Dorothy Drew, class of '77), and managed to land an im-pressive stipended T.A. position as a business administration graduate student for next year at the University of Minnesota. In general we conclude that Bruce is a pretty nice guy (shucks, gee). The Clarion staff by Terri Hanson On June 5, Dr. Don Rainbow's Colorful Caravan will begin its fifth touring season, this time in the United States. Seven students, Marc Maillefer Greg Dirnberger, Rick Drake, Wade Anderson, Laurie Vincent, Ginny Heuer, and Beth Ekberg along with Dr. Don Rainbow make up this year's Caravan. The group will travel for six weeks in a Bethel van performing almost nightly in various churches on the tour. Their tour will take them to California, Oregon, Iowa, Colorado, and Illinois to name a few. Most of the performances will take place in churches, schools, bandshells, and parks. While the group is in California, they will perform at the National Baptist Conference, both the youth rally and the conference itself. Caravan has been practicing for about four weeks. The actual rehearsals won't be completed until after school is out. "I am really encouraged with the way rehearsals are going," said Beth Ekberg. "We are getting acquainted with each other and learning to play off each other. Things are finally beginning to mold." The musical and dramatic pro-gram allows a wide variety of styles. It features broadway numbers, Swingle singer (doobee doodah type) and hymn ar-rangements. The group will also perform a 35-minute version of the H.M.S. Pinafore written by Gilbert and Sullivan. Performing the H.M.S. Pinafore is special this year because 1978 is the 100th anniver-sary for the operetta. The troupe has several pianists and Beth said, "The piano is like a member of the group. It doesn't just sit there, it's involved." In addition to the piano, the group has drums, a string bass, two guitars, a tamborine, and recorders. Meg Zauner, though not a member of the Caravan, is doing most of the choreography. This year Caravan seems to be unique because it is comprised of very musical people (included in the group are three music majors.) Each person offers a special talent. For example, Rick Drake is a virtuoso pianist and Ginny Heuer is an actress and dancer. The group hasn't begun using costumes, staging props or backdrops yet so there is a little bit of work to do before they actually take off. However, the group is excited and expects to do a great job. "I am really excited to go," said Beth. "I think Doc will have perfected the performance so much that it will be a joy to per-form!"

Duck Soup Players provides learning, performing opportunities by Suzi Wells Bringing smiles and laughter to otherwise dismal lives will be senior Judy Nygren and sophomore Pam Anderson as they participate in a new theatre troupe, Duck Soup Players. The first performance of the group, comprised of mostly volunteers, will be June 5 at Mound Park Hospital for the Psychiatric Unit. The perfor-mance is entitled "Every Surgeon's Dream: Or, As a Child, I was a Cut Up." The group, originated by Pat Bettendorf (husband of Julie in College Relations) will be travell-ing to various nursing homes, hospitals, prisons and other in-stitutions for shut-ins around the Twin Cities. With music and slap-stick comedy, the Duck Soup Players' purpose is to entertain. "After the show we'll get to meet people," Judy explained. "Most people in the group are Christians, so afterwards well get to share our faith. I don't feel I need to hit them over the head with the Bible. It's more like friendship evangelism." Judy's duty in the group is to find music for the scripts that ac-tor and director Pat has written. She then arranges it to suit the plays. Next, she rehearses the music with the players and plays piano for all the shows. Pam is acting as an ad-ministrative clerk for the group out of an office on Selby Ave. She also performs in the company in two roles, as a patient with a cold and a bad-tempered German nurse. Artistic director Bill Ashwood, Pat, Judy and Pam all work out of the office on Selby Ave., and are the only paid members of the troupe. All other performers are volunteers. "It's exciting working with peo-ple who want to serve others," Judy commented. Since Duck Soup is government funded, the employees work on salaries allot-ted by the government. Pam and Judy are excited about opportunities they will have to serve. They will be performing 148 times in the next year, and staying on if they like after that. "I'm seriously considering do-ing it full time and working on my (theatre) degree part time," Pam explained. "I want to see how the group goes and where the Lord leads." Pam will be able to practice the training in theatre she has receiv-ed at Bethel. Although the scripts are not gospel message oriented, Pam said, "I think theatre can be used to witness. It's an icebreaker and it's easy to talk to individuals afterwards. I'll be doing not only what I like, but I'll bring hap-piness to people." Judy also said that she is able to use training she had at Bethel in her new job. "It uses all my musical training," she said. "In music theory classes, I had to listen to taped music and write it down." In Duck Soup she listens to music that could be suited for the performance, and then transcribes and arranges it. Piano was her performance area at Bethel, also. While Judy and Pam said that old training will help them, they are challenged by new work. Judy has worked with classical music in the past,, and will now be working with show tune music. "It ex-pands my knowledge," she said, "and it will be a learning ex-perience." Pam is looking forward to growing also. "I knew I didn't want to come back to school next year, but I didn't want my theatre by Paul Olsen Twelve Bethel faculty members will be leaving Bethel for one or two semesters next year, and one, Bob Weathers, is resigning. The dean's office also announc-ed the filling of two vacancies, band director and professor in business. Leaving for full-year _sabbati-cals will be Dave Perry, Robert Carlson, and Don Belton, while Dave Johnson and G.W. Carlson will be on leave-of-absence for one year. There are seven teachers leav-ing for a half-year. Al Glenn, Bible; Tom Johnson, education; and Justin Abraham, sitting in a corner. I can grow theatrically." She also said that by working in a small group, she is learning to carry many different respon-sibilities, which stretches her. Pam and Judy have been rehearsing with the company in a space Chimera Theatre has given them, from 7-10 p.m. five nights a week. The scripts are light and simple, so as to be adaptable to a varied audience. The shows are about an hour in length, and are geared toward audiences who ap-preciate humor in their potential-ly dull and meaningless lives. "It's a real challenge spiritually," Pam noted. "I have to stay hum-ble because after the show we talk to people whose problems are ob-vious." This is where the oppor-tunity for real sharing comes in. economics, will be on sabbatical leave for fall term next year. Taking sabbaticals in the spring will be Jerry Healy, English; Roy Dalton, history; Wayne Hensley, speech; and Mel Stewart, philo-sophy. There are also two recent addi-tions to the faculty. Charles Olson has been band director at Anoka, Minn., high school-since 1960, and will be tak-ing over for Dr. Whitinger, who is retiring. Dr. Stephen Simpson, at the N.Y. State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell since 1973, will be joining the business department. by Joy Banta What R.A's are to the dorm resident, C.A.'s are to the com-muter. This year was the first time Bethel has had a commuter assis-tant program for those students living at home. Commuting presents some dif-ficult challenges and problems that people on campus don't realize. Steve Farquharson and Denise Hansen, the Commuter Assistants (C.A.'s) for the past year, have helped the freshman and transfer commuters get in-volved with Bethel. Steve and Denise have planned parties, stuffed P.O.'s with newsletters, and led Bible studies in an effort to make this program a success. Denise and Steve feel that the program has brought the com-muters closer to the Bethel com-munity. They feel that commuters need to feel a sense of belonging, and, being commuters themselves, they can relate to Andy Leong and Andy Boles were both victorious in a recent karate tournament in Duluth, Minn. Both were enrolled in a karate class offered by the Bethel physical education department. Leong, performing a form of karate called Kata, placed second in a field of 25 contestants. Kata is a highly disciplined chain of movements under pressure. Boles, a more physical contes-them. "There are still more students to involve, but we have made good progress," they said. Marilyn Starr, head of the com-muter program, and Steve and Denise, have chosen Larry Kaasa and Tammy Roedel as C.A.'s for school year 1978-79. Larry and Tammy have been actively involv-ed in this year's program. Larry and Tammy are full of ideas for next year including home Bible studies, "car service" for those on campus, and commuter—on-campus get togethers. Tammy feels that older com-muters— other than freshmen and transfers—should get involved in the program. Both of the new C.A.'s are open for suggestions from the more "seasoned" com-muters. They are looking forward to their year as C.A.'s and Steve and Denise are confident they will do a good job.

Moser aggressive, thinking player despite knee injury by Greg Kuntz One standout on the Bethel women's softball team this season has been second baseman and senior co-captain Ruth Moser. Returning after missing most of last season with a knee injury, she is batting an even .500 (20 for 40) and, besides carrying a hot bat, covers a lot of territory with a .900 plus fielding percentage. Moser feels she has come back pretty well and that the hard work, including running last sum-mer and lifting weights over the winter, has paid off. "Softball has been a lot of fun and one of my best experiences at Bethel," she said. She came to Bethel after spen-ding her freshman year at Arizona State University. "It's been a lot easier to get in-volved at a smaller school," she said. Her only previous experience with the game was at her Arvada, Co. home when she would get a "bunch together" in her big yard. Ruth spent most of her previous two seasons behind the plate catching and has been mov-ed around the infield. "She's a utility infielder besides a good hitter," said Coach Frye. "Karyl has helped me with the right perspective of winning and by Steve Erickson About 150 of next year's seniors have sent in petitions requesting exemption from the flat fee tui-tion system because they needed 8.5 or fewer courses. A couple of petitions were not cleared and were sent back because they did not fit into the exemption category by showing "an undue adverse economic ef-fect." Tricia Brownlee, assistant to the dean, expected all petitions fitting into the category to be ac-cepted. "I don't think there will be any problem. So far we have approved 100 percent of the peti-tions," she said. Petitions for students with financial need that cannot be suf-ficiently alleviated through finan-cial aid will be available when financial awards are released. These awards will not be ready until May 15. Exemptions are also available to first year international students whose English language proficien-cy prohibits normal academic progress. Brownlee said that this would be taken care of when the students arrive next September. Petitions for other than the ex-emption category, students with physical disabilities, should have been submitted to the director of student affairs by earlier this week. As of last week, ten petitions had been received for special cases. One was a personal pro-blem, two were financial aid pro- Page 10 use the God-given talents I have," she said. "It's important that a coach can take the time out to emphasize Christ in athletics." Besides softball, Moser has served on the volleyball team under Coach Frye. As a P.E. ma-jor she hopes to go into outdoor education, eventually with the handicapped. She admits that she gets a lot of action at second base and needs to keep her mind in there all the time. "In giving 100 per cent I need to give up all to the Lord before every performance," said Ruth. Coach Frye said, "She's an ag-gressive and thinking, yet calm, ball player. She's not the long ball hitter so she usually bats leadoff or second because we know we can get her on and advance her." As for the team's chances in the state tournament this season, Moser said they need to take "one game at a time." Last season, the Royals nearly upset number-one seeded Moorhead State in the first round, and then beat more teams before losing and ended in seventh in the state. "We want to be as prepared as we can be so we'll be able to walk away from this season, win or lose, and say that we gave it everything we could." blems and the rest were for academic reasons. Brownlee said that she had evaluated each one of them and was planning to meet with each student individually. She said, "I have only seen two of them and in both cases we were able to work out a program that fit into the flat fee system. We're really trying to make students think on a flat-fee basis because we don't have per course tuition anymore." "Some things we can all relate to and have struggled with in sports and even outside of sports," one F.C.A. member said. In dealing with these areas, a Bible study centers around it with many verses brought out and often, one verse can sum it all up. The meetings have also includ-ed games and singing in which people can become better acquainted. Other activities have highlighted this spring such as a retreat that a few from Bethel at-tended and had the opportunity to share with representatives from other area colleges and univer-sities. About 30 got together and at-tended a Minnesota Kicks soccer game this week and Dr. Robert Stein, professor of New Testa-ment, spoke at the last meeting this week. Many activities and meeting with guest speakers are planned for this fall when meetings con-tinue. "There has been a need for F.C.A. sensed around here," said one member. continued from page 11 Only the doubles team of Norlander and Greg Kuntz had a winning record, posting a 8-4 mark. But three straight losses killed their chances of a high seeding in the tournament. They were beaten by the eventual run-ners- up, a team they had defeated earlier in the season. Next year the team could do better, with only Kuntz and Bob Corson not returning. The final results for the tourna-ment were: Gustavus 25, St. John's 12.5, St. Thomas 11.5, St. Olaf 7.5, Hamline 6, Augsburg 3.5, Concordia 3, St. Mary's 2, Bethel 1, Macalester 0. by Greg Kuntz The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (F.C.A.) is getting started at Bethel this spring. It is a movement which con-fronts athletes and coaches, and through them the youth of the na-tion with the challenge and adventure of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Par-ticipating in Christ's Church and serving him through vocations, F.C.A. has definite plans for next year. "We don't want to exclude anyone from the freedom of corn-ing to F.C.A. meetings, regardless of whether they are in a sport or not," said Jon Kramka at one re-cent meeting. F.C.A. started many years ago and has grown immensely in par-ticipation from elementary schools to pro ranks. Some peo-ple view the organization as a "jock club" in many places. It has been a means for sportsmen to br-ing the Gospel of Jesus Christ into their own lives, but also is a means of evangelism by sharing Christ with others outside of the group. In the group at Bethel which has included new individuals every Monday night, the ap-proach has been dealing with varied topics like failure, success, and violence in sports. Seniors petition tuition Dean Kaihol becomes the Clarion's first "Male Athlete of the Year." Healy mixes no-hitter story with Royal losses to Johnnies Bobbi Hersch is the first recipient of the Clarion's "Women Athlete of the Year" award. Kaihoi named Male Athlete of the Year by Clarion editors Football and baseball standout Dean Kaihoi was named Clarion Male Athlete of the Year. The award, decided by the editorial staff, was given to Kaihoi based on his high athletic achievements, by Greg Kuntz Senior Bobbi Hersch is the Clarion staff's choice as female athlete of the year. Today she is running with the two-mile relay team at the Region VI meet at Emporia (Kansas) State Universi-ty. Hersch is recognized for her participation and contributions in many areas. She is an international relations major and served as secretary on the Student Senate. Never corn-peting in sports before coming to Bethel, Hersch became a rather all-around performer going out for volleyball for two years, cross country last fall, and did many events track. Referred to as "very versatile" by her coach, Shirley Dawson, Bobbi holds Bethel records in the long jump, 440, and part of four relays: 440, 880-medley, mile, and two-mile. The mile relay finished second in the state this past weekend. along with outstanding qualities in scholarship and leadership. Kaihoi played on the football team as a safety, known mainly for his bone-jarring tackles. A "I've always wanted to corn-pete," she said. "Before Bethel, I just watched and never partici-pated." "Being a part of the teams has been rewarding because I've got-ten to know people and we sup-ported each other a lot psycho-logically and spiritually." Coach Shirley Dawson chuck-by Debbie Anderson The women's tennis club, con-sisting mostly of sophomores and juniors, has a record of one win and two losses. Their most recent meet was against Augsburg Col-lege. The contest was close, but the team lost 5-4. The meet began with three sets of doubles, Bethel coming out on top in two of them. starter also in his junior year, he was able to play in the same back-field as All-American Kevin Hall-strom "He was a guy who was just a fundamental ballplayer," said Kaihoi about Hallstrom. "The biggest thing that someone could learn from him is self-denial. He was a great team player and really dedicated." Also an outfielder on the baseball team, Kaihoi has won two games this season with late-inning hits. "Baseball has been a little disappointing this season," he said. "I think we could have done better." Kaihoi came to Bethel as a transfer from Wilmar Junior Col-lege. He followed in the footsteps of his brother Bruce, who also played defensive back on the Bethel football team. "He (Bruce) was definitely an influence (on coming to Bethel)," said Kaihoi. He received much of his athletic training through his fami-ly. "Our family is really sports-oriented," said Kaihoi. "We've always appreciated sports, but my parents never forced us to par-ticipate." A pre-med major at Bethel, Kaihoi plans to attend the Univer-sity of Minnesota at Duluth this fall. He was also accepted at the University of Minnesota's medical school. "I've really enjoyed athletics here," he said in summing up his athletic experience at Bethel. "The athletic program is really growing. The only thing Bethel needs now are better facilities, but I think they're working on that now." led, "She's been busier than anyone on the team being involv-ed in so many things, but she doesn't try to make excuses." She said, "She's always been concerned with the spiritual wit-ness of the team and she cares about people. She'll be hard to replace." The singles matches were a battle for all six of the women, with two of them beating their opponents. The longest and most exciting match for the spectators was bet-ween the number one seeded players. Ruth Swenson, represen-ting Bethel, was down one set and trailing in the second set 3-5. Finally she pulled through to win the set and then the match leaving her undefeated for the season. by William Healy Few moments in the history of sport have managed to arrest the world to the extent that July 28, 1970 did. Oh sure, you have Reggie's three home runs in last year's series, the second Ali-Frazier fight, and maybe Star Wars' two consecutive upsets of Six-Feet- Under, but even these take a back seat to that balmy midsummer night of St. Paul's East Side. The scene was McDunnough Field and the contest found arch-rivals Langford Park and McDun-nough battling it out to avoid the cellar. On the mound for Langford stood the big, lanky, hard-throwing right-hander in his first-ever pitching effort. Mixing a good, hard slider, a scorching fast-ball, and an elusive off-speed screwball, the youngster proceeded to mow down the helpless McDun-noughites like it was nobody's business. As the game wore on and disillusioned ballplayers were found wandering aimlessly, talk-ing to themselves, it became in-creasingly evident that what was taking place was the greatest pit-ching performance the game had ever known. By the time it was all over this highly respectable collection of hitters had been reduced to a con-glomeration of straight-jacket vic-tims. Not one hit had been issued by the big flame-throwing rookie who would never again reach such a height of athletic ex-cellence (with the possible excep-tion of that 320-foot shot to left-center. Did I ever tell you about that one?...) But enough about myself. This article is about Bethel baseball. The Royals dropped a pair to St. John's Saturday by scores of 5-2 and 4-1. They hope to end the season on a winning note as they play doubleheaders at Macalester last Tuesday and at Northwestern today. Tennis team ends conference season in ninth place by Steve Erickson The tennis team concluded its first season in the MIAC last weekend with a ninth place finish in the conference tournament. Gustavus Adolphus again took the title, winning five of six singles matches and all three doubles matches. Mark Norlander and Wayne Abbott were the only Royals to proceed past the preliminary round, with each one winning one match. These wins helped Bethel place ahead of Macalester and out of last place. Coach Craig Schmidt was disappointed with the season the team had, winning only two mat-ches all year. "We lost a lot of close matches but we still should have done better than we did," he said. continued on page 10 Page 11 Honors of Women Athlete of the Year given to Bobbi Hersch Tennis club loses squeaker against Augsburg College The two mile relay team of Brenda Harris, Gail Anderson, Bobbi Hersch and Denise Egge placed high enough to go to the national meet at Emporia, Kansas.

Page 12 by Carol Madison Bethel softball had an im-pressive week of games as they defeated Concordia of St. Paul in two games and put on a good showing in the state tournament. On May 2, the team beat Con-cordia 7-4 and 9-8 in close games. The first game went nine innings after a tie of 4-4 in the seventh. Cindy Martin struck out seven batters and went 3 for 5, adding 2 RBI's. Vicki Wright also had 2 RBI's and Robin Erbst went 3-4 at the plate. Second baseman Ruth Moser combined with Janet Reynolds at first on good defensive plays which held Concordia down. Bethel also won the second game 9-8, but things didn't go well the first inning as Concordia scored six runs off Martin. Janet Soic finished and held them to two runs the rest of the game. Ruth Moser went 2 for 3 and had 3 RBI's, as did Soic. "We were able to capitalize on their six errors," said Coach Karyl Frye. The Royals then competed in the state tournament over the weekend and won one game and lost two in the double elimination tournament. Bethel, which was ceded 14 out of 16, defeated number three ceded Moorhead State 7-1 in the first game. Cindy Martin held Moorhead to only five hits, and the rest of the team backed her up with good defensive play. Costly errors by Moorhead and good hitting by Bethel gave the Royals the advan-tage in the game. Bethel then lost to Mankato 11-7 after being tied 4-4 in the fourth. Cindy Martin was 3 for 4, with a homerun and 4 RBI's. Teri Visel had two hits, including a double, and Ruth Moser went 3-4. Mankato made use of its two home runs and a double by having more runners on at the time, which was a big factor in the game. Bethel then played Southwest State immediately after Mankato and lost, so they were eliminated from the tourament. The team com-mitted five errors and didn't hit well due to lack of energy reserves. Bethel threatened to score in the bottom of the seventh with three straight hits by pinch hitters Deb Sension, Jacki Dill and Joann Kormann, but a strikeout and a pop-up with bases loaded stopped the threat. "We played three state colleges that can offer at least partial scholarships and have well-established teams," said Coach Frye. "But we still played good ball against them." The team made a good showing and people started to take notice of Bethel after they beat Moorhead. Several coaches com-mented on the good ball playing that Bethel showed. The team concluded its season with a game at St. Benedict on May 9. The Royals were 5-10 for the season before this game. by Laura Woodruff On May 5 and 6 at the Universi-ty of Minnesota, the Bethel women's track team qualified more people for regionals and scored more points at the state track and field meet this year than any other year. Seven women qualified scoring 18 points for Bethel. Golden Valley Lutheran College won the meet, while Moorhead State and St. Cloud State tied for second place. Denise Egge placed seventh in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:19.6, which is a Bethel record and regional qualifying time. Other regional qualifiers in-clude Sandy Hobbs, Lynn Sever-son, Bobbi Hersch and Katie Miller in the 880 relay placing fourth with a Bethel record of 1:53.6. Egge qualified in the 1500-meter. run with a Bethel record of 4:46.5 and a fourth place. Egge, Severson, Hersch and Miller also qualified in the mile relay where they not only broke a Bethel record and took eight se-cond off their best time, but plac-ed second with a time of 4:06. Regionals will be held at Em-poria, Kansas on Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13. Bethel will not be competing in any of the afore mentioned events because many of the runners can-not afford to miss any more classes. Miller will not be competing in the high jump either. But, the two-mile relay team which qualified for regionals at the Macalester Invitation will be go-ing to Emporia. That team is made up of Hersch, Egge, Gail Anderson and Brenda Harris. The 440-yd. relay, made up of Miller, Hersch, Severson and Hobbs, broke a Bethel record with a time of 52.8. In the 1500-meter run Brenda Harris placed twelfth with a 5:09 for her personal best time. In the same event Karlene Kline also had her best time of 5:42. Harris also made it to finals in the 800-meter run with a 2:28 by Bruce Olsen Tee-off time begins at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 15 for the Third Annual Bethel Clarion Como Study Day Golf Epic (TABC-CSDGE). The golf classic organizers hope for a turnout of some 40 golfers, with many famous Bethel personalities par-ticipating. No positions remain to be filled. Such notables as Arlan "Broken-club" Swanson, Tad "The Slice" Johnson, Tim "Did I Hit That?" Doten, Dave "Should be on the Tour" Osgood (formerly Dave "Mulligan" Osgood), Jerry Healy, Al Glenn and Dan Taylor will be participating in this third annual event. The status of Chuck "Is He Still Here?" Haaland is still under in-vestigation. It is rumored that tournament organizers are willing to drop charges of cheating against Haaland because of a threatened lawsuit by Haaland supporters (himself). Will Healy and John Priestly, partners in Haaland's foursome last year, have notably received mysterious checks in the mail for not remembering a thing that happened in last year's tourna-ment. Both Healy and "The Priest" deny any knowledge of time. In the same event Anderson did a 2:19.6. About the state meet Coach Shirley Dawson said, "I was really pleased that they were able to be so strong. It was a good end to a good season." such alleged payoffs. The last member of the foursome has somehow disappeared into thin air. The rumors about these alleged payoffs began when Healy was seen driving a new, yellow Porsche and Priestly suddenly took a trip to the warmer climates of Florida. The investigation con-tinues with a ruling to be made approximately ten minutes before the tournament is to begin. There is also a controversy brewing between two former partners of the golf epic, Al Glenn and Jerry Healy. Healy claims that he is tired of carrying Glenn through previous tour-naments and has not decided yet if he is willing to do so again. Glenn makes a similar claim, saying that his score is keeping the team competitive. Only time will tell the outcome. For those of you who do not wish to support this tournament with your participation, you are invited to join the large gallery that is sure to develop when the press releases hit the television stations and newspapers. It costs nothing to be a part of the Clarion Golf Epic gallery, so please plan to come out and cheer on your favorite hack.

THE CLARION Bethel College St. Paul, Minnesota Vol. 53, No. 24 May 12, 1978 BETHEL COLLE3L Commencement to honor largest graduating class annex delays forseen by Thangi Chhangte "One treasure, a single eye, and a sole master," is the theme for the class of 1978. It is a summary of Matt. 6:19-24 which missionary Jim Elliot paraphrased in his jour-nal. Both the baccalaureate service and the commencement exercise will be held on Sunday, May 21. The baccalaureate service will be at 10:15 a.m., presided by George Brushaber, vice president and dean. President Carl Lundquist will preside at the commencement exercise which will begin at 3 p.m. There will be 308 seniors graduating with their B.A. degrees and 15 graduating with their A.A. degrees. The class will march in alphabetical order, with the A.A.'s graduating first. This year Bethel will use The Latin terms: summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude instead of the English honor terms. Senior art majors Laurie meek-er and Rod Young have designed the backdrop and program, bas-ing their design on the motto. Laurie designed the program and Rod modified it for the backdrop with Laurie's help. Rod will paint the backdrop with help from art students. The design consists of a cross with a pair of hands reaching up to it at its base. Painted in vivid colors, circles and ovals surround the cross. For the baccalaureate service, Susan Peterson will play the organ prelude. Richard Drake will play the piano. Bruce Olsen, Suzanne Edwall Lane and Daniel Johnson (DJ) will give brief testimonies, on what Bethel has meant to them. There will also be a musical selection by Kristine Eastlund and Suzanne Pehrson. Jerry Flasschoen will read Scripture before Warren Magnuson, general secretary of the Baptist General Conference, gives his message on "The High Cost of Treasure." At the commencement exercise Mrs. Jean Christian will play the organ prelude. She will play the following number: "Mode de sol," by Jean Langlais; "Prelude, Fugue and Chaconne," by D. Buxtehude;" "Prelude and Fugue in C Major," by J.S. Bach. The processional will be David Johnson's "Processional in D." Marcello's Psalm XIX will be the recessional. The Male Chorus, directed by Oliver Mogck, will sing two selec-tions. They are: "Be Ye Reconcil-ed to God," by Carl and Mueller; "Rise Up 0 Church" (with brass), arranged by Otis and Shillings. Mark Tanquist will be the nar-rator. After Al Quie gives his address on "One Master in a Moving World," Dean Brushaber will pre-sent the class. President Lund-quist will confer the degrees and the diplomas. Towards the end of the pro-gram Jo Beld, valedictorian of the class, will give a four-minute tribute to the parents and faculty. Jo is graduating a year early. Jennifer Wood's solo "The Lord is My Light," will follow Jo's speech. There will also be an alumni banquet on Saturday, May 20, planned by the alumni office. Featured will be the "Sons of Light" quartet and Jeff Miller's production of a variety show bas-ed on the class motto. Dean Palermo will help him out musically. The program consists of light music selections, very similar to those used in Moods. Seniors will be performing in it. A committee of Student Senate seniors and non-senate ap-pointees has been largely respon-sible for planning the programs. This year's is the largest graduating class Bethel has ever had. On May 1, competition began for Fulbright scholarships for graduate study or research abroad in academic fields, and for profes-sional training in the creative and performing, arts. It is expected that approx-imately 550 awards to 50 coun-tries will be available for the 1979-80 academic year. The purpose of these grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. They are provided under the terms of the Mutual Education and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright- Hayes Act) and by foreign govern-ments, universities, and private no dorm, by Bruce Olsen At the time this newspaper went to press, most of the trade unions had settled on a new con-tract, thus averting a possible strike that could have stopped construction on the new dor-mitories and LRC annex. "I wouldn't say we're out of the woods, but it's turning out a lot donors. Applicants must be U.S. citi-zens at the time of application. To qualify for most awards, they should have received a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant, and should be proficient in the language of the host country. Except for certain specific awards, candidates may not hold a Ph.D. at the time of application. Creative and performing artists are not required to have a bachelor's degree, but they must have four years of professional study or equivalent experience. Social work applicants must have at least two years of profes-sional experience after the Master of Social Work degree. better than we thought it would," said Dave Lissner, director of community relations at Bethel: Although not all of the trade unions had settled on a new con-tract, the outlook for settlement seemed good. It is expected that all of the unions will have noted on a new contract by the end of this week. Lissner believed that it was unusual for the unions to settle as quickly as they have. He noted that over $300 million worth of construction is taking place in the seven county area, which would give unions some good bargaining power. But is seems that both sides are willing to make some compro-mises, as settlement has occurred rather rapidly. If the remaining unions did vote to strike, this might affect the entire construction operation, even if striking members were not participating in the construction. Lissner believed that striking members would set up picket lines on construction locations, thus keeping non-striking members from crossing those lines. This would have the effect of causing all the trade unions to stop work. If one of the trade unions did vote to strike, it could last anywhere from two weeks to four months, according to Lissner. When asked if there are any other construction delays that might occur before the comple-tion of the dorms, Lissner responded, "We don't see them now."

Lifestyle enforcement letter, p. 2 Senior parting shots, p. 5 Two big happy families, p. 6 Athletes of the year, p. 11 Letters to the editor can't believe it! I can only take so much, so knock it off! Three strikes, you're out! Richard Scott Franklin Solution! Dear editor, I have a simple solution to the housing problem next year; a six-year old could think of it! If you can't properly house them, don't enroll them! How old is the average ad-ministrator? Richard Mitchell 'Accusations should be made in person,' analysis concludes Dear editor, It has come to my attention over the past week that the method of enforcing lifestyle stipulation should be re-examined. Lifestyle principles at Bethel must be enforced in order that we do not become another Hamline University or Macalester College. However, how we enforce these standards are important. The Biblical principles concern-ing our duty to a brother are clear: "Brethren, if a man is over-taken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness...(Galatians 6:1) "So you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow." (II Corinthians 2:7) My beef at this point, is not with the administration, for it has tried its best in handling issues of this nature in the best way possi-ble. However, if they could learn to deal with the complaintants as efficiently as they have learned to handle the offenders, the matter might move along more smoothly. I am more bothered by the group of individuals who feel so led to go to the administration with complaints lodged against students, that they have formed through apparent close observa-tion. It is a great frustration to me that these individuals are so con-cerned, yet obviously not con-cerned enough to approach the individual involved. If I am guilty of causing a brother to stumble, or going against the lifestyle policy that Bethel has ordained, then I will willingly admit to it, for only a fool lies about himself. If however I am not aware of the suspicions voiced and therefore am not guilty, I would appreciate the consideration of the complaintant in clearing it up with me first, because people aren't too fond of being slandered. Again I must commend the ad-ministration's ability to at least have brought these suspicions to my attention, for if they hadn't, I'm quite certain that the rumors would still be circulating. One thing I would, however, like to point out to the administration is this: If someone comes to you with a complaint in regards to a student or staff member, please en-courage him to confront the in-continued on page 3 Student complains about 'other housing' Dear editor, Even though I am transferring, I found it extremely coincidental that Bethel let the students com-pletely register and then let them know that old campus was the "other housing." Since I am in Male Chorus and we are going to be in Europe, I will be glad to see if there is "something rotten in Denmark?" (i.e., Wm. Shakespeare's "Hamlet"). Shakespeare lives! Steve Hoswell -more complaints Dear editor, Since when has Bethel been so palsy-walsy with the U.S. govern-ment? We wait six years to sell the old campus and now we want to rent it back? Something tells me that this is not too bright! David Rasmussen -and another one Dear editor, Ha! Ha! Ha! Bethel has such a sense of humor. I can't handle it. What's a boy to do? Tee hee, tee hee. A year ago we heard the joke about the Chanhassen, this year it was the flat fee (I still have cramps!). And now we have old campus housing...again! Har, har! I just editorial Editor gets syrupy over this year's accomplishment An unusual occurrence frequents this column this time of the year—an editorial of praise and adoration. Since this is the final Clarion of the school year, it would usually seem fitting for me to blast and slander someone's reputation. There would be no way for anyone to get in a rebuttal for next week's issue, for there is no issue until next September. But the decision has been made to go out like a lamb, something like the month of March is supposed to do. Praise for an accomplishment well done often occurs on this campus, but rarely can it be seen for a year's duration. Most of those who work long and hard hours "behind-the-scenes" seldom get the recognition they deserve. This column will be devoted to those individuals who have put in some long hours to make student life at Bethel a little more bearable and enjoyable. Mention must be made of this year's Campus Coordinators, Cynthia Green and Scott Barsuhn. They have bolstered the CC office dramatically since the tragic 1976-77 school year with a dazzling array of on and off-campus events. Never in my four years at Bethel have I seen such dedication from the Campus Coordinators. Student Association leaders Tad Johnson and Mark Carlson have likewise done a fine job. Although they had some problems handling the flat fee debacle, they managed to pull through and hand the Woods/Torgerson ticket some ground on which to build. Passages editor Darrel Nelson and his staff should also be commended for the fine job they have done on this year's magazine. This is one year-long project that very few are actively engaged in its production, although the hours of participation are literally number-less. Then there is always the Clarion staff. Leading off the list is Holly Schmiess, this year's new editor. She has provided an effective and much-needed balance for the conservative and sportsminded editor of this newspaper. My thanks go out to her for challenging my ideas and thoughts. Suzi Wells (copy editor) and Nancy Naumenko (production editor) have spent some long hours putting this paper together both grammatically and structurally. The devotion to their work has made this staff the most well-organized and efficient staff in Clarion history. Columnists Dan Erickson and Dave Shelley have been better than I ever expected. Their humorous and subtle approaches towards a number of "sacred cows" have made their columns one of the most enjoyable things to read in the Clarion. Thanks also to Arlan Swanson, who managed to live under the auspices of a business-minded editor. The books have never been better, Arlan. In terms of photographers, Mark Holmes has been the epitomy of efficiency. I have had numerous compliments on this year's photography, much of which should be given to Mark. This year's sports editor, Greg Kuntz, made last year's look like an inefficient waterboy. Even with other commitments taking up his time, Greg continued to put out some high quality material, including the bulk of this year's sports photos. Juan Ramos, in his first year as newspaper cartoonist, did a remarkable job, considering the past experiences of Clarion cartoonists. I am sure Juan will continue to improve his cartoons in next year's paper. Of course, special word should be made of those writers who submitted articles on a weekly basis. They include Thangi Chhangte, Steve Erickson, Rob Haglund, Terri Hanson, Carol Madison, Lisa Mills, Shelly "Squirrel" Nielsen, Paul Olsen, Greg Smith and Dave Terpstra. Thanks also to all those who wrote occasionally to help fill a need. My thanks to all of these people, and those I forgot to name, who have made this year at Bethel a successful one. Thanks for your participation and involvement in times when apathy seems to take the front seat on today's college campuses. It's your participation that has made this year one of the most productive in Bethel history. Westmont students fast SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (CCNS)—Some 70 per cent of the Westmont College student body participated in a recent one-day fast, donating the $1.20 each of them would have spent on food that day to the Potter's Clay, a campus organization which sends students to Mexico to evangelize. Steve Osborne, Dining Com- Page 2 mons manager, told The Horizon student newspaper that a 50 per-cent participation would have been "something extraordinary." Said Gordon Aeschliman, fast coordinator: "I didn't expect this many students to fast. I was really pleased with the turnout." The ef-fort helped send 150 Westmont students to Baja (Lower) Califor-nia this Easter. ;"";;.'t O ,tanr. 3 4 English, linguistics, music dept.'s gain, modify courses, instructors fr THE CLARK by Thane Chhangte Some courses - are being modified next year. Others are being given "college-level reading" names. There are also some new additions. All the courses have been discussed and approved by the Curriculum Administrative Ad-visory Committee, which consists of four faculty members and four students. When teachers want to make curriculum changes, they must present their proposed changes to Dwight Jessup, director of academic affairs. Major changes have been made in the English department. Literary Forms has been split into two parts: Literature in Critical Perspectives and Major Modes of Literary Expression. Prosody has also been renamed Poetry Writing. Advanced Ex-pository Writing has been chang-ed into the more readable title Essay Writing. The reason Lit. Forms has been split is because teachers have had different approaches to it and have found it difficult to deal equally with all the different ap-proaches. Literature in Critical Perspec-tives will stay with the critical ap-proach. Christian Weintz, pro-fessor in language and literature , will be teaching it. Major Modes of Literary Ex-pression (quite a mouthful) will look at genre, fiction, poetry and drama in literature. Lorraine Eitel, instructor in writing/writing coordinator, will teach this by Shelly Nielsen Saying "So Long" to Bethel is hard. It's harder yet realizing you won't again walk its sacred halls till professors distribute their un-fair demands via novel-length syllabi in September. It's unbearable when between you and that blissful return stret-ches three months of survival in "the world!" It's mid-May. Mom's been hin-ting "Why don't you come home for the summer?" MacDonalds has doubled application-blank output, and the old, spiritual glows on Bethelite faces have wilted. Every downcast student knows—has experienced—the trauma ahead. He must begin again to cope with the problem of remaining Christian in pagan sur-roundings. The moment he crosses that boundary between Snelling Avenue and Bethel Drive, the eternal battle begins. The believer lived 17-18 miserable years before Bethel deemed he had suffered enough and opened its doors to him. On course. Most students will agree that the popular title Lit. Forms is easier to handle than the new ones. Next year, the linguistics department will have the a new teacher - William Smalley. He and Donald Larson, chairman of the linguistics department, will teach Discovering Language. This course will replace Macrol-inguistics and Microlinguistics, both formerly taught by Larson. Larson said his objective is to help students discover their own by Dave Terpstra There will be quite a diverse spreading of Bethel's students and faculty members when summer finally rolls around with all of its remarkable possibilities. Some will partake of a three-month hibernation of sleep, while others will be working furiously to try to accumulate enough money to pay for next year. Yet there is another possibility open to students this summer— more school! The summer school program appears to be going well for this second year. Kathy Nevins, who is in charge of this year's program, recently said that she is "pleased that students have taken such great in-terest in it this year. It's something about taking courses in the summertime that makes the classes less formal, more of a sub- May 18, that long, nightmarish pilgrimage begins again. Each right-on-with-the-Lord in-dividual steps into the sludge of society. Armed with nothing but a Bible and his notes from "Pro-phets" class, he must live righteously in a world crawling with sinners. After thriving in the protective spiritual womb of Bethel, spotless "community-members" face the disheartening prospect of life in the real world. Real, to the pampered Chris-tian, means associating with peo-ple who wear tank tops, read movie ads in the newspaper, and watch the beer commercials when they come on T.V. It is necessary to spurn a socie-ty that thinks nothing of using the vulgar terms "hairdresser," "op-posite sex," and "avacado pit." These words are picked off the street. Immoral individuals know no better. They repeat what they hear. The Bethelite has, by ad-monishment and example, a fair idea of what is acceptable behavior and what is wicked hanky-panky. His basic human "inner language" which everyone has. Creative Musical Experience is a new course designed for non-music majors (with some keyboard experience). It will em-phasize music fundamentals such as developing the ear, recognizing chord structures, and learning music language. Most of the work will be done on the keyboard.

Current Bethel students com-prise the majority of the summer students, while students from non-Christian colleges who want a Christian education are also at-tracted to the program. Those, who need or desire the extra courses to graduate or those with double majors can benefit from the lower tuition rates charged during the summer. On a negative note, however, some of the classes were can-celled because of a lack of enroll-ment. At present, there are no ex-act figures of how many courses were cancelled. Students living in college hous-ing will be living either at Foun-tain Terrace or at the Arden Hills campus for $18 per week. The food service intends to remain open Monday-Friday during the summer also. nature, however, leaves him susceptible to these corrupt in-fluences. He must always be on a nerve-wracking alert for the forces of evil. Secular slang is yet another of the dangers to be avoided during the sojourn through wordly liv-ing. A shocking number of students succumb to this tempta-tion, returning to Bethel with the words of the world still on their lips. "Rats," "groovy," and "rock band" integrate their vocabulary, infecting formerly holy speech. Every fall; alarmed ad-ministrators face the responsibili-ty of converting uncontrollable hoodlums back into human be-ings of the Christian faith. In-dividuals can only avoid this degeneration during those threatening months of June- August by continuously humming Imperials tunes while on the job, in the bus, or at the grocery store. Bethel is beautiful people. We alone, its spiritually pure com-munity members, can keep it that way—by resisting the abomina-tions of secular society. by G.W. Smith The Bethel Student Senate, in a recent session, voted to take over the responsibilities of the distribu-tion of the Twin Cities Reader. Earlier this year a controversy developed in which students reacted unfavorably to the disposal of the copies of the Reader. Many felt that Bethel had discontinued to sponsor the Reader as a form of censorship. Senate Vice President Jim Torgerson dispelled that rumor. "The issue was misunderstood," said Torgerson. "The students thought the Reader had been discontinued because of the ques-tionable want ads." The Reader first came to Bethel when the drama depart-continued from page 2 dividual on his own, and then consult with you. In this way you will weed out those outlandish rumors and suspicions and breed a high quality of love and ethics, for which this school is known. And now to the "observant in-dividuals:" If you have a gripe against someone in the school, please go the them and honestly try to reach an understanding. If you don't have the courage to do this, at least show up for the inter-view in the administrative offices with the suspect. TO „.E. i3 1.1% d°1i 8. telle•A'`g ment requested its distribution. Student affairs approved that re-quest and the drama department assumed responsibility for the Reader and its circulation. When the drama department dropped the responsibility for the Reader's distribution, student af-fairs elected to drop the distribu-tion altogether. In an effort to provide students with the services they desire, Stu-dent Senate decided to accept responsibility for the Reader's distribution. The student affairs once again approved a request to circulate the Reader on campus. Senate will act as the distribu-tion point for the Reader, an ac-tion, according to Torgerson, which will help students feel com-fortable visiting the Senate office in the future. It frustrates me to know that so many of you are so ardent to reveal information to the ad-ministration, yet not quite so ar-dent as to confront the individual in question. To th6se of you who have been through this process on the suspect end, if you are not guilty, try and forgive the plaintiffs for the lack of an apology. What they say can be dangerous and detrimental to an individual who is sincerely seek-ing the Lord, and a community-devoted to such a cause.

The function of student men-tors is three-part, says Redin: 1. Career development. Stu-dent mentors will pose questions that help "their" freshmen/trans-fers set academic and career goals, discover abilities, and pos-sibly choose a tentative area of concentration. 2. Orientation. Student men-tors will help identify students personally and refer them to sources of help for problems no one else is aware of. 3. College success. Student mentors will assist "their" ad-visees in adjusting to college life and working towards academic goals, including choosing summer work that would contribute to those goals. Redin says faculty advisors will be equipped next year with better written materials and special training to help incoming students. The Thursday before Welcome Week, faculty advisors and student mentors will join in a training session. Student mentors will begin con-tacting freshmen, not during Welcome Week, when they are swamped with impressions, but three or four weeks into the term when they can mean serious busi-ness. The peer counseling system, in 1979-80, will carry over to sophomores as well as repeat for that year's freshmen. At the end of their sophomore year, students are expected to have a chosen major and be plugged in with an appropriate departmental ad-visor.

A new peer counseling program, under auspices of academic af-fairs, but designed and initiated by Paul Redin, director of career counseling and placement, will improve the all-faculty advising system. Student mentors can be asser-tive counselors in a way that faculty members do not have the time to be, Redin said. "We need an aggressive program of reaching out to students, instead of waiting for them to come to us," he ex-plained. Volunteer faculty will still ad-vise freshmen, but after the stu-dent mentors have done much of the counseling preliminary to writing up an academic program. Each student mentor, twelve for freshmen and two for trans-fers, will be responsible for 50 new students. Faculty advisors will counsel 25, or half of each large group. Each student men-tor, then, will cooperate with two faculty advisors. Redin says the peer counseling program is budgeted to allow each advisee about two and a half hours per year of personal coun-seling in addition to larger train-ing sessions with his or her stu-dent mentor.

(CCNS)—Nine residents of a men's dorm at George Fox Col-lege pedaled 150 miles on bicycles to the Oregon Coast and back to raise funds for a former biker from London, England, paralyzed from the neck down in a bus-truck accident. David Rookard, now hospita-lized in Phoenix, Ariz., and George Fox student Bruce Rhodes became friends after meeting while biking down the Oregon Coast several months ago, the Office of College Rela-tions noted. When Bruce learned of his friend's tragic accident and of mounting medical expenses he was incurring, he decided to enlist the help of his dorm mates in the fund-raising effort.

In case they don't make the mark, and even if they do, SMP has planned a car wash for May 13. They urge everyone to bring their cars. Once they reach their goal, SMP will be able to provide 50 per cent of the necessary support for each SMP'er. The remaining support must be raised by the individual students for his one to three month project. Dan Johnson, president of SMP, asks that aside from finan-cial support, we all give them our prayers and encouragement. Each SMP'er would appreciate your letters and prayers as they are out on the mission field. Summer addresses will be posted on the Christian Service board. Student mentors advise freshmen in new by David Shelley Dear graduating seniors, Time for memories. You start hearing all those congratulations and you find yourself saying, "What am I doing here? Where has the time gone?" It was a fast four years, for most of you. It would have been just four years for a few more of you if we had been on the flat-fee tuition all along, if you would have stayed here at all. You won't quite remember how the Senate under Dan Nelson fought to change to a per-course fee structure. No, that was before your time. When you started the student president was Marshall Shelley. Wait a minute, maybe that four years does seem like a good while back. Judy Harrington was Clarion editor. I know, nobody remembers Clarion editors, but what about the column by Paul Healy, and "Ourtickle" by Mort, Timmy and Andy? Speaking of Clarion, remember the graffiti controversy: Ah, things have changed a bit since then, no? Which reminds me, there was also Pastor Lawson. That was also the year people were arguing over Richard Nixon's pardon. And enrollment at Bethel was somewhere around 1450. And coffee shop ice cream was $.20, or was it $.15? Campus Coordinators were Dave Mortensen (you know, Mort) and squirrely Shirley Van Wambeke. And the football team had its first winning season in 10 years, 5-4. Dr. Piper was new to Bethel. And that was the year of the "great schism," when college and seminary had separate commencement ceremonies for the first time. "Diary of Anne Frank" was presented that year, as was "Screwtape" and "Romeo and Juliet." The bowl of rice program began, and College Choir toured to California. They left during a March blizzard. Chuck Haaland and Paul Greeley lost the spring election to Mark Johnson and Bob Moeller. Oh yeah, Chuck Haaland. Some things don't change so much. Students were complaining about over-crowding and food service prices, "I Do, I Do" was showing at the Chanhassen, the Vikings were getting into the playoffs (period) and Mike Monroe was giving concerts at Bethel. Traditions exist. But think of all the experiences, all the learning, all the growth and expansion of four years. Now I ask, hasn't it made an impact on your life? You really aren't the same people who frolicked in here in 1974. You were freshmen; now you're college grads. Mind-boggling, isn't it? Four years ago, friends, you sat in Freshman Colloquy and slept under lectures on the value of liberal arts education. Now you have it. Now you have to face the barrage of "What are you going to do with it?" questions. And my only advice is that you look that questioner straight in the eye and answer thoughtfully, "I'm going to remember it." it." Annal of pets, peeves: seniors speak out This year I have enjoyed im-mensely the various personalities in the philosophy department.

(Daniel Kent) Johnson If there is one thing that I've learned in my four years at Bethel, it's the importance of relationships, whether it is with God or friends. And just like God expects us to tithe, I think He ex-pects us to be good stewards of our time. I'm getting married June 3 (a beauty) and according to zoo of-ficials, I have a fair to good chance of getting a Sanitary Ground Surveyor position. Mike Anderson Many people throw around the cliche, "Bethel is people," at graduation time. But really, it's more than that. Bethel is girls. If I knew when I started school what I know now about Bethel women and the need to concentrate on studies, I would have graduated years ago (I think). The one startl-ing revelation about my tenure here is that I gave Bethel women the best years of my life. Motto: Education is an in-depth study in procrastination. Chuck Haaland After four years at Bethel I would like to thank and recognize Arlan Swanson, a close friend of mine. He has spent countless hours with me in the coffee shop, eating chocolate-chip ice cream. Although less than academically inclined, he has been a truly ex-emplary Bethelite. Arlan Swanson I would like to extend a per-sonal declaration of appreciation to the Tom Koenigsbergs, Larry Jacobs, John Priestlys, Randy Mitrovitches, Gordie Franzens, Tim Lanes, Peter Ludlows, Steve Johnsons, and Dale Johnsons of this world: gentlemen, your cor-respondence has made my college experience beyond compare and to you I am eternally indebted. William Healy In light of a recent evaluative excursus through that differen-tiated entity of my phenomenal field known as "the Self," I would like to say: 1) to C.H., S.G., B.G., P.P., D.H., K.W., and "Doc," I love you. 2) to everyone: Make God's omnipotence your expectation!

I am forever indebted to Jim Johnson's unbiased history classes for making me what I am today. Also, a special thanks to my seasoned, experienced and wise roommates, Tad Johnson and Arlan Swanson for continually advising me against a policy of frequent dating. Mark Carlson How does a graduating senior R.A. feel as the ominous "G-Day" approaches? Both exhilarated and saddened. Exhilarated because there will be an end to "panty-raided draw-ers," "T.P. in the R.A. room," and the "after-date inquisition" which included: "What would you think of 24 bridesmaids? (Hint hint)." Sadness is also a definite feeling that will go with me because I can't help wondering how they will do next year—without me! Answer: Probably very well! After graduation I plan to at-tend the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Deborah Andolino For me the A.C. means "A Challenge." In that building of classes and faculty I learned to fuse the principles of my faith with certain priniciples of social science to form a stronger cable of truth. This process involved a lot of sleepless nights, long prayerful walks, a wet-shouldered hubby, and some late papers. But the end product—me—is better equipped to serve God and His creation. I will be living on a farm with my husband in Cannon Falls, Minnesota practicing social work with either the youth, the aged, or the mentally retarded. Belinda Peterson I am most bugged about the lack of decent pianos in this school. As a struggling pianist, it has been most frustrating to have to contend with stuck keys, notes that never quit, and the like. The high charge for music lessons is exhorbitant considering these conditions. Thoughtfully submitted, Elaine Stumbo Bethel has given me exper-iences which I wouldn't trade for anything; —Like breaking into the LRC after hours. —Like raiding Mom Almer's apartment. —Like driving from the faculty lot to the dorm via Health Ser-vice. —Like playing "Theme from Star Wars" as a chapel postlude. Thank you, Bethel, Jonathan Pepper People are like cowpies: hard on the outside but soft on the in-side. Don't step on them. This summer I plan to build ga-rages and hopefully find a job in social work. I plan on staying in the Twin Cities. Jim Tjernlund This fall, thirty students FROM HALF A DOZEN CHRISTIAN COLLEGES WILL BE STUDYING TOGETHER, FOR COLLEGE CREDIT, IN THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY OF LINCOLN, OREGON. The Oregon Extension is a one semester, inter-disciplinary, liberal arts program, sponsored by Trinity College, and conducted in an old lumber mill town in southern Oregon's Cascade Mountains, just outside Ashland, Oregon. The course of study runs from August 27 to December 16, 1978, 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 interaction. The goal of the faculty is to help you equip yourself to be a thinking Christian in today's society. Study is undertaken in the context of ongoing community relationships, common work and common worship, extra-curricular learning—a visit to San Francisco, a backpack in Three Sisters Wilderness, a strenuous climb of Mt. Shasta. Costs are somewhat 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. Douglas Frank, Trinity College, Deerfield, IL 60015. Do you belong there? READ THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF A THREE WEEK UNIT OF STUDY. IF IT'S WHAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO IT. Segment One: Modern Visions of Human Nature. The first segment begins with ourselves: what is the nature of the creature who is undertaking this study? More specifically we ask: how are we conditioned by our biological natures, and to what extent? Broadening the same questions: how have people responded to the old question of freedom vs. determinism? Is there a biblical view of human nature, and how have theologians interpreted the biblical evidence? This might involve us in a discussion of soul and body, or of the effect of sin on human nature. We seek enlightenment through study of psychologists like Freud, the behaviorists, the humanists or the Gestaltists; philosophers like Kierkegaard, Sartre or Heidegger (perhaps through reading William Barrett's Irrational Man); biologists, animal behaviorists and ethologists (such as Lorenz, Ardrey and company and their critics); theologians and biblical scholars; and generalists such as Ernest Becker (Escape from Evil) and Floyd Matson (The Broken Image). We usually find meat for discussion in the plays we attend at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. During the research portion of the segment students have studied Jung, Tournier, Twain, Dostoevsky, Darwin, C. S. Lewis, Heidegger, Marx, feminism and the wisdom literature of the Old Testa-ment among other topics.

Yes, it is possible. Matter of fact, that is how we kicked off our first Student Leader breakfast last Wednesday morning. Our pieces may not qualify for the Walker Art Gallery but we had fun getting gooey while we learned a little bit more about each other. By involving people from SSM, SMP, ISA, Senate, the Clarion, C.C. office, and the Intramural staff, we hope to promote spiritual unity so that each of us will be more effective in our respective areas. Spectacle Lake near Cambridge was the site of our executive board retreat this past weekend. We laid out our strategy for next year: priorities, deadlines, etc. Time was also spent analyzing our effort so far. Looking back, we see evidence of a growing rapport between the students and the administration. The recent housing situation stands out as an exception and is cause for concern. Forced to take the role of merely reacting to a situation of which we had no foreknowledge, we feel limited in the amount of positive input we can offer. As a Senate, we feel much more comfortable in an atmosphere of openness where we are adequately informed and free to have constructive input before final decisions are made. Not only would this lessen the degree of student resentment, but our time wasted trying to second-guess the administration would be eliminated. Another topic of discussion was Senate's role in Bethel as a whole. Within the context of community, Senate becomes more than just an opportunity to develop skills in leadership and decision making. Jesus' words about servanthood need to become a reality in our lives. Realizing that we have lofty goals, a mutual responsibility, and limited abilities, we are seeking results that go beyond free university, an autonomous budget and agenda/impact statements.

While enjoying the afternoon's pleasantries on the porch of his lavish suburban apartment, Dana "Big D" Olson, godfather of the renowned Rigatoni family, was hit in the familiar gangland fashion. From an upper level balcony, four henchmen of the archrival Spumoni family unloaded their arsenal of buckets, severely dren-ching Papa Rigatoni. Although waterfights are a common occurrence on the Bethel campus, especially during the advent of spring, the spirit of the warring families holds an overpowering significance. Scruples cast aside, the family, either Spumoni or Rigatoni, allows nothing to mar a pre-designated hit. On Nov. 19, David Charles Foley answered the telephone at Rigatoni headquarters. As he did, members of the Spumoni family stormed the door of the plush apartment and drenched the un-suspecting Rigatoni. The head-quarters was splattered with the telltale signs of a gangland slay-ing. Two days later, Rocko Tengwall was caught attempting to break into the Spumoni residence. He never made it. Nov. 27 arrived silently. By late evening, all was calm. Todd "TAJ" Johnson, returning from a weekend delivery to Chicago, ar-rived at Rigatoni headquarters an-ticipating a warm reception. Shivering from the pre-December cold, he scurried across the park-ing lot to the building. Before he could reach the porch, he had been hit, and the tailor-made suit he was wearing suffered from the merciless blow. Shortly thereafter, an elegant candlelit memorial was erected in Spumoni headquarters honoring the successful hits on the four Rigatoni members. The members of the Rigatoni family, not to be outdone, claim-ed welcome revenge on the night of April 27. The Rigatoni family cleverly crept into Spumoni head-quarters while the members of the Spumoni family slept peacefully in their beds. Within moments, the Spumonies had been severely maimed by a barrage of water never before unleashed. Accor-ding to Papa Rigatoni, their fami-ly cherished the taste of sweet vic-tory. "Easily their most vulnerable member," says "Big D", "is Dean `Sky-Hi' Kaihoi." On one occa-sion, the Rigatonies captured Kaihoi in their apartment, cat-ching him from behind. Holding him by the shorts, the Rigatonies drenched the helpless Spumoni. Another time Kaihoi's keys were frozen in a block of ice and placed in the freezer for safety. Although their history has been marked by repeated violent out-bursts, the two families now stand as one and plan continued growth and expansion in future years. In December, the two families met to discuss efforts at making peace. The conference was thwarted when Spumoni god-father Dino Kaihoi approached the conference table armed. Papa Rigatoni quickly retreated, barely avoiding an ambush organized by the remaining members of the Spumoni family. Olson called it "the bleakest moment of warring history." An investigation into the origin of the two families reveals a peculiar history. Of the nine cur-rent family members, seven trace their roots to a brotherhood known as "the Penthouse." In 1976 that organization split into various factions but in 1977 members of the original organiza-tion banded together once again. On three separate occasions this past year, the two families reached truce agreements. Dur-ing January, in retaliation for the several blatantly slanderous com-ments of an objective citizen, the families combined to hit the per-son of David Clarence Lowery. Lowery is survived by his room-mate and his pet goldfish, Bub-bles. A championship broomball team with an undefeated record stands as the second indication of family unity in its early stages. The third combined gathering took place on April 30, 1978. Spumoni member Pete "John-boy" Peterson successfully lured the unsuspecting G.W. "Luigi" Smith into the grounds of battle, where Luigi received a pelting akin to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Because he gallantly managed to survive the grueling ordeal, Luigi was later accepted into the Spumoni clan. In September, two family member, Dino "Sky-Hi" Kaihoi and Paul "Vincenzo" Jepsen, will leave Minnesota to establish charter organizations. Kaihoi will travel to Duluth to command the inland shipping trade and Vincen-zo will organize a West Coast chapter of the Spumonies in Seat-tle. "All in all," said Papa Rigatoni, "the year with the family has been a triumphant one." Considering the future, Bartoliomio Nelson revealed new sidelines to be developed. Beginning in September, the families will offer protection for a fee. Also in the planning stages is the possible infiltration of the Clarion. "The alliance will be united next year," said Olson, "and we'll be ready to take on all comers."

Lockman In the past, The Park Square Theatre has not been known for its brilliant productions. In fact, it hasn't been known much at all. That's a real shame. The size and the casualness of the theatre makes for a fun evening, without the false sense of theatrical snob-bery. Well, the Park Square Theatre is finally getting its act (or scene) together. Its last produc-tion was "As You Like It" by William Shakespeare. It was done well, with good directing and excellent acting (in-cluding former Bethelite, Jack Starr). The current production is following this trend towards quality. "Angel Street" by Patrick Hamilton, is an English Victorian suspense guaranteed to make your palms sweat, your hair stand on end, and your breathing to be stopped beyond any mortal length of time. The plot involves a maniacal husband, systematically driving his helpless wife crazy and a curiously wonderful chief inspec-tor seemingly coming to the rescue. Or is he? Perhaps Mrs. Manningham is actually going crazy and Chief Inspector Rough is only a dream of hers. Perhaps Mr. Manningham is the long-suffering husband that he makes himself out to be. Maybe he does have good reason to attract the interest of the kit-chen maid, Nancy. And what went on in the closet? What possible reason could Mr. Manningham have for driving his wife insane? These questions are answered with a great deal of tension. Director Michael Scahill has managed to stretch this tension throughout the play without driv-ing the audience to breakdowns. He could have kept us wondering a little longer if he had made Jack (Mr. Manningham) more human. As it was, Jim Brown as Mr. Manningham was so politely sini-ster, I wanted to invite him to a full dress poisoning. Alison Stair Neet, as Mrs. Man-ningham, held the audience with the extremes of ecstasy and paranoia. She had so much energy throughout the play that I would have liked to have seen more of the normal Mrs. Mann-ingham. Nonetheless, she kept the audience going, wondering if she was crazy or not. The two maids, Elizabeth (Naomi Johnson) and Nancy (Pamela Palan) were adequate. The main drawback to these two characters was the difficulty the actresses had effecting English ac-cents. The magical performance of the evening was given by Philip Morton. His Chief Inspector Rough was a character that was endearing to the audience and at the same time added to the suspense. His combination of jollity, dar-ing patience, and serious inten-tion kept the audience hoping that he was on the level, yet wondering if he weren't part of the plot against Mrs. Manningham or if he weren't the only one plotting. Mr. Morton stole the show. I gladly concede the prize. The set and costumes were amazing, considering what Phil Groff and Kaisa had to work with and the time involved. The set gave the impression of middle-class Victorian England without getting in the way of the action. The costumes were authentic with no obvious anachronisms. That was encouraging, consider-ing some of them were from the Bethel costume department. All in all, "Angel Street" pro-vides an evening of spine-tingling entertainment for those with ter-minal sweaty palms or those who just like a good story.

If leadership means to serve as tions after the publicity director for UPA, Don Jacobson, saw a performance of Doc Rainbow's Colorful Caravan and realized the talent that Bethel had in the theatre department. Auditions were held Thursday, May 4, and six students were chosen from 50 to record the commercials the next day. Five 60 second spots were recorded in 90 minutes, and each participant was paid $50. The humorous commercials stress minimizing power usage, especially during the peak hours. well as challenge and demand, Bruce has fulfilled his role. He's been known to put on ten extra miles twice a week for car-less staff members, tidy the office with the same frequency, absorb the fudge-factor in bills at My Pi and Burger King, furnish Kleenex for an entire runny-nosed staff, and provide coffee, during late-night vigils. He's made hundreds of phone The spots will be played on 21 local radio stations around the rural areas, and possibly on WCCO. "The recordings will be a nice credit for the kids," said Rain-bow. "They can be put in their portfolios for future reference." Juan Ramos agreed with Rain-bow. "Some of the kids were more interested in the money, but I just wanted the experience. Now that they have my name, they may call me in the future," he added. calls and tolerated every excuse known to editors, including those of his own immediate staff. He's shown respect for opinions other than his own, and solicited them in writing editorials and handling sticky situations, work-ing with us, not over us. And he's written articles (as many as three an issue) that no one else would, or could because the stories broke at awkward times. This is all besides dealing responsibly with a lot of storms Bethel has weathered this year— sale of old campus, fee structure change, and building and zoning problems. We marvel that he's success-fully maintained high grades, an engagement to a school teacher in Iowa (Dorothy Drew, class of '77), and managed to land an im-pressive stipended T.A. position as a business administration graduate student for next year at the University of Minnesota. In general we conclude that Bruce is a pretty nice guy (shucks, gee). The Clarion staff by Terri Hanson On June 5, Dr. Don Rainbow's Colorful Caravan will begin its fifth touring season, this time in the United States. Seven students, Marc Maillefer Greg Dirnberger, Rick Drake, Wade Anderson, Laurie Vincent, Ginny Heuer, and Beth Ekberg along with Dr. Don Rainbow make up this year's Caravan. The group will travel for six weeks in a Bethel van performing almost nightly in various churches on the tour. Their tour will take them to California, Oregon, Iowa, Colorado, and Illinois to name a few. Most of the performances will take place in churches, schools, bandshells, and parks. While the group is in California, they will perform at the National Baptist Conference, both the youth rally and the conference itself. Caravan has been practicing for about four weeks. The actual rehearsals won't be completed until after school is out. "I am really encouraged with the way rehearsals are going," said Beth Ekberg. "We are getting acquainted with each other and learning to play off each other. Things are finally beginning to mold." The musical and dramatic pro-gram allows a wide variety of styles. It features broadway numbers, Swingle singer (doobee doodah type) and hymn ar-rangements. The group will also perform a 35-minute version of the H.M.S. Pinafore written by Gilbert and Sullivan. Performing the H.M.S. Pinafore is special this year because 1978 is the 100th anniver-sary for the operetta. The troupe has several pianists and Beth said, "The piano is like a member of the group. It doesn't just sit there, it's involved." In addition to the piano, the group has drums, a string bass, two guitars, a tamborine, and recorders. Meg Zauner, though not a member of the Caravan, is doing most of the choreography. This year Caravan seems to be unique because it is comprised of very musical people (included in the group are three music majors.) Each person offers a special talent. For example, Rick Drake is a virtuoso pianist and Ginny Heuer is an actress and dancer. The group hasn't begun using costumes, staging props or backdrops yet so there is a little bit of work to do before they actually take off. However, the group is excited and expects to do a great job. "I am really excited to go," said Beth. "I think Doc will have perfected the performance so much that it will be a joy to per-form!"

Duck Soup Players provides learning, performing opportunities by Suzi Wells Bringing smiles and laughter to otherwise dismal lives will be senior Judy Nygren and sophomore Pam Anderson as they participate in a new theatre troupe, Duck Soup Players. The first performance of the group, comprised of mostly volunteers, will be June 5 at Mound Park Hospital for the Psychiatric Unit. The perfor-mance is entitled "Every Surgeon's Dream: Or, As a Child, I was a Cut Up." The group, originated by Pat Bettendorf (husband of Julie in College Relations) will be travell-ing to various nursing homes, hospitals, prisons and other in-stitutions for shut-ins around the Twin Cities. With music and slap-stick comedy, the Duck Soup Players' purpose is to entertain. "After the show we'll get to meet people," Judy explained. "Most people in the group are Christians, so afterwards well get to share our faith. I don't feel I need to hit them over the head with the Bible. It's more like friendship evangelism." Judy's duty in the group is to find music for the scripts that ac-tor and director Pat has written. She then arranges it to suit the plays. Next, she rehearses the music with the players and plays piano for all the shows. Pam is acting as an ad-ministrative clerk for the group out of an office on Selby Ave. She also performs in the company in two roles, as a patient with a cold and a bad-tempered German nurse. Artistic director Bill Ashwood, Pat, Judy and Pam all work out of the office on Selby Ave., and are the only paid members of the troupe. All other performers are volunteers. "It's exciting working with peo-ple who want to serve others," Judy commented. Since Duck Soup is government funded, the employees work on salaries allot-ted by the government. Pam and Judy are excited about opportunities they will have to serve. They will be performing 148 times in the next year, and staying on if they like after that. "I'm seriously considering do-ing it full time and working on my (theatre) degree part time," Pam explained. "I want to see how the group goes and where the Lord leads." Pam will be able to practice the training in theatre she has receiv-ed at Bethel. Although the scripts are not gospel message oriented, Pam said, "I think theatre can be used to witness. It's an icebreaker and it's easy to talk to individuals afterwards. I'll be doing not only what I like, but I'll bring hap-piness to people." Judy also said that she is able to use training she had at Bethel in her new job. "It uses all my musical training," she said. "In music theory classes, I had to listen to taped music and write it down." In Duck Soup she listens to music that could be suited for the performance, and then transcribes and arranges it. Piano was her performance area at Bethel, also. While Judy and Pam said that old training will help them, they are challenged by new work. Judy has worked with classical music in the past,, and will now be working with show tune music. "It ex-pands my knowledge," she said, "and it will be a learning ex-perience." Pam is looking forward to growing also. "I knew I didn't want to come back to school next year, but I didn't want my theatre by Paul Olsen Twelve Bethel faculty members will be leaving Bethel for one or two semesters next year, and one, Bob Weathers, is resigning. The dean's office also announc-ed the filling of two vacancies, band director and professor in business. Leaving for full-year _sabbati-cals will be Dave Perry, Robert Carlson, and Don Belton, while Dave Johnson and G.W. Carlson will be on leave-of-absence for one year. There are seven teachers leav-ing for a half-year. Al Glenn, Bible; Tom Johnson, education; and Justin Abraham, sitting in a corner. I can grow theatrically." She also said that by working in a small group, she is learning to carry many different respon-sibilities, which stretches her. Pam and Judy have been rehearsing with the company in a space Chimera Theatre has given them, from 7-10 p.m. five nights a week. The scripts are light and simple, so as to be adaptable to a varied audience. The shows are about an hour in length, and are geared toward audiences who ap-preciate humor in their potential-ly dull and meaningless lives. "It's a real challenge spiritually," Pam noted. "I have to stay hum-ble because after the show we talk to people whose problems are ob-vious." This is where the oppor-tunity for real sharing comes in. economics, will be on sabbatical leave for fall term next year. Taking sabbaticals in the spring will be Jerry Healy, English; Roy Dalton, history; Wayne Hensley, speech; and Mel Stewart, philo-sophy. There are also two recent addi-tions to the faculty. Charles Olson has been band director at Anoka, Minn., high school-since 1960, and will be tak-ing over for Dr. Whitinger, who is retiring. Dr. Stephen Simpson, at the N.Y. State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell since 1973, will be joining the business department. by Joy Banta What R.A's are to the dorm resident, C.A.'s are to the com-muter. This year was the first time Bethel has had a commuter assis-tant program for those students living at home. Commuting presents some dif-ficult challenges and problems that people on campus don't realize. Steve Farquharson and Denise Hansen, the Commuter Assistants (C.A.'s) for the past year, have helped the freshman and transfer commuters get in-volved with Bethel. Steve and Denise have planned parties, stuffed P.O.'s with newsletters, and led Bible studies in an effort to make this program a success. Denise and Steve feel that the program has brought the com-muters closer to the Bethel com-munity. They feel that commuters need to feel a sense of belonging, and, being commuters themselves, they can relate to Andy Leong and Andy Boles were both victorious in a recent karate tournament in Duluth, Minn. Both were enrolled in a karate class offered by the Bethel physical education department. Leong, performing a form of karate called Kata, placed second in a field of 25 contestants. Kata is a highly disciplined chain of movements under pressure. Boles, a more physical contes-them. "There are still more students to involve, but we have made good progress," they said. Marilyn Starr, head of the com-muter program, and Steve and Denise, have chosen Larry Kaasa and Tammy Roedel as C.A.'s for school year 1978-79. Larry and Tammy have been actively involv-ed in this year's program. Larry and Tammy are full of ideas for next year including home Bible studies, "car service" for those on campus, and commuter—on-campus get togethers. Tammy feels that older com-muters— other than freshmen and transfers—should get involved in the program. Both of the new C.A.'s are open for suggestions from the more "seasoned" com-muters. They are looking forward to their year as C.A.'s and Steve and Denise are confident they will do a good job. All hope to provide ways for commuters to share more in the Bethel community. tant, entered the heavyweight sparring competition called Kumite.

Moser aggressive, thinking player despite knee injury by Greg Kuntz One standout on the Bethel women's softball team this season has been second baseman and senior co-captain Ruth Moser. Returning after missing most of last season with a knee injury, she is batting an even .500 (20 for 40) and, besides carrying a hot bat, covers a lot of territory with a .900 plus fielding percentage. Moser feels she has come back pretty well and that the hard work, including running last sum-mer and lifting weights over the winter, has paid off. "Softball has been a lot of fun and one of my best experiences at Bethel," she said. She came to Bethel after spen-ding her freshman year at Arizona State University. "It's been a lot easier to get in-volved at a smaller school," she said. Her only previous experience with the game was at her Arvada, Co. home when she would get a "bunch together" in her big yard. Ruth spent most of her previous two seasons behind the plate catching and has been mov-ed around the infield. "She's a utility infielder besides a good hitter," said Coach Frye. "Karyl has helped me with the right perspective of winning and by Steve Erickson About 150 of next year's seniors have sent in petitions requesting exemption from the flat fee tui-tion system because they needed 8.5 or fewer courses. A couple of petitions were not cleared and were sent back because they did not fit into the exemption category by showing "an undue adverse economic ef-fect." Tricia Brownlee, assistant to the dean, expected all petitions fitting into the category to be ac-cepted. "I don't think there will be any problem. So far we have approved 100 percent of the peti-tions," she said. Petitions for students with financial need that cannot be suf-ficiently alleviated through finan-cial aid will be available when financial awards are released. These awards will not be ready until May 15. Exemptions are also available to first year international students whose English language proficien-cy prohibits normal academic progress. Brownlee said that this would be taken care of when the students arrive next September. Petitions for other than the ex-emption category, students with physical disabilities, should have been submitted to the director of student affairs by earlier this week. As of last week, ten petitions had been received for special cases. One was a personal pro-blem, two were financial aid pro- Page 10 use the God-given talents I have," she said. "It's important that a coach can take the time out to emphasize Christ in athletics." Besides softball, Moser has served on the volleyball team under Coach Frye. As a P.E. ma-jor she hopes to go into outdoor education, eventually with the handicapped. She admits that she gets a lot of action at second base and needs to keep her mind in there all the time. "In giving 100 per cent I need to give up all to the Lord before every performance," said Ruth. Coach Frye said, "She's an ag-gressive and thinking, yet calm, ball player. She's not the long ball hitter so she usually bats leadoff or second because we know we can get her on and advance her." As for the team's chances in the state tournament this season, Moser said they need to take "one game at a time." Last season, the Royals nearly upset number-one seeded Moorhead State in the first round, and then beat more teams before losing and ended in seventh in the state. "We want to be as prepared as we can be so we'll be able to walk away from this season, win or lose, and say that we gave it everything we could." blems and the rest were for academic reasons. Brownlee said that she had evaluated each one of them and was planning to meet with each student individually. She said, "I have only seen two of them and in both cases we were able to work out a program that fit into the flat fee system. We're really trying to make students think on a flat-fee basis because we don't have per course tuition anymore." "Some things we can all relate to and have struggled with in sports and even outside of sports," one F.C.A. member said. In dealing with these areas, a Bible study centers around it with many verses brought out and often, one verse can sum it all up. The meetings have also includ-ed games and singing in which people can become better acquainted. Other activities have highlighted this spring such as a retreat that a few from Bethel at-tended and had the opportunity to share with representatives from other area colleges and univer-sities. About 30 got together and at-tended a Minnesota Kicks soccer game this week and Dr. Robert Stein, professor of New Testa-ment, spoke at the last meeting this week. Many activities and meeting with guest speakers are planned for this fall when meetings con-tinue. "There has been a need for F.C.A. sensed around here," said one member. continued from page 11 Only the doubles team of Norlander and Greg Kuntz had a winning record, posting a 8-4 mark. But three straight losses killed their chances of a high seeding in the tournament. They were beaten by the eventual run-ners- up, a team they had defeated earlier in the season. Next year the team could do better, with only Kuntz and Bob Corson not returning. The final results for the tourna-ment were: Gustavus 25, St. John's 12.5, St. Thomas 11.5, St. Olaf 7.5, Hamline 6, Augsburg 3.5, Concordia 3, St. Mary's 2, Bethel 1, Macalester 0. by Greg Kuntz The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (F.C.A.) is getting started at Bethel this spring. It is a movement which con-fronts athletes and coaches, and through them the youth of the na-tion with the challenge and adventure of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Par-ticipating in Christ's Church and serving him through vocations, F.C.A. has definite plans for next year. "We don't want to exclude anyone from the freedom of corn-ing to F.C.A. meetings, regardless of whether they are in a sport or not," said Jon Kramka at one re-cent meeting. F.C.A. started many years ago and has grown immensely in par-ticipation from elementary schools to pro ranks. Some peo-ple view the organization as a "jock club" in many places. It has been a means for sportsmen to br-ing the Gospel of Jesus Christ into their own lives, but also is a means of evangelism by sharing Christ with others outside of the group. In the group at Bethel which has included new individuals every Monday night, the ap-proach has been dealing with varied topics like failure, success, and violence in sports. Seniors petition tuition Dean Kaihol becomes the Clarion's first "Male Athlete of the Year." Healy mixes no-hitter story with Royal losses to Johnnies Bobbi Hersch is the first recipient of the Clarion's "Women Athlete of the Year" award. Kaihoi named Male Athlete of the Year by Clarion editors Football and baseball standout Dean Kaihoi was named Clarion Male Athlete of the Year. The award, decided by the editorial staff, was given to Kaihoi based on his high athletic achievements, by Greg Kuntz Senior Bobbi Hersch is the Clarion staff's choice as female athlete of the year. Today she is running with the two-mile relay team at the Region VI meet at Emporia (Kansas) State Universi-ty. Hersch is recognized for her participation and contributions in many areas. She is an international relations major and served as secretary on the Student Senate. Never corn-peting in sports before coming to Bethel, Hersch became a rather all-around performer going out for volleyball for two years, cross country last fall, and did many events track. Referred to as "very versatile" by her coach, Shirley Dawson, Bobbi holds Bethel records in the long jump, 440, and part of four relays: 440, 880-medley, mile, and two-mile. The mile relay finished second in the state this past weekend. along with outstanding qualities in scholarship and leadership. Kaihoi played on the football team as a safety, known mainly for his bone-jarring tackles. A "I've always wanted to corn-pete," she said. "Before Bethel, I just watched and never partici-pated." "Being a part of the teams has been rewarding because I've got-ten to know people and we sup-ported each other a lot psycho-logically and spiritually." Coach Shirley Dawson chuck-by Debbie Anderson The women's tennis club, con-sisting mostly of sophomores and juniors, has a record of one win and two losses. Their most recent meet was against Augsburg Col-lege. The contest was close, but the team lost 5-4. The meet began with three sets of doubles, Bethel coming out on top in two of them. starter also in his junior year, he was able to play in the same back-field as All-American Kevin Hall-strom "He was a guy who was just a fundamental ballplayer," said Kaihoi about Hallstrom. "The biggest thing that someone could learn from him is self-denial. He was a great team player and really dedicated." Also an outfielder on the baseball team, Kaihoi has won two games this season with late-inning hits. "Baseball has been a little disappointing this season," he said. "I think we could have done better." Kaihoi came to Bethel as a transfer from Wilmar Junior Col-lege. He followed in the footsteps of his brother Bruce, who also played defensive back on the Bethel football team. "He (Bruce) was definitely an influence (on coming to Bethel)," said Kaihoi. He received much of his athletic training through his fami-ly. "Our family is really sports-oriented," said Kaihoi. "We've always appreciated sports, but my parents never forced us to par-ticipate." A pre-med major at Bethel, Kaihoi plans to attend the Univer-sity of Minnesota at Duluth this fall. He was also accepted at the University of Minnesota's medical school. "I've really enjoyed athletics here," he said in summing up his athletic experience at Bethel. "The athletic program is really growing. The only thing Bethel needs now are better facilities, but I think they're working on that now." led, "She's been busier than anyone on the team being involv-ed in so many things, but she doesn't try to make excuses." She said, "She's always been concerned with the spiritual wit-ness of the team and she cares about people. She'll be hard to replace." The singles matches were a battle for all six of the women, with two of them beating their opponents. The longest and most exciting match for the spectators was bet-ween the number one seeded players. Ruth Swenson, represen-ting Bethel, was down one set and trailing in the second set 3-5. Finally she pulled through to win the set and then the match leaving her undefeated for the season. by William Healy Few moments in the history of sport have managed to arrest the world to the extent that July 28, 1970 did. Oh sure, you have Reggie's three home runs in last year's series, the second Ali-Frazier fight, and maybe Star Wars' two consecutive upsets of Six-Feet- Under, but even these take a back seat to that balmy midsummer night of St. Paul's East Side. The scene was McDunnough Field and the contest found arch-rivals Langford Park and McDun-nough battling it out to avoid the cellar. On the mound for Langford stood the big, lanky, hard-throwing right-hander in his first-ever pitching effort. Mixing a good, hard slider, a scorching fast-ball, and an elusive off-speed screwball, the youngster proceeded to mow down the helpless McDun-noughites like it was nobody's business. As the game wore on and disillusioned ballplayers were found wandering aimlessly, talk-ing to themselves, it became in-creasingly evident that what was taking place was the greatest pit-ching performance the game had ever known. By the time it was all over this highly respectable collection of hitters had been reduced to a con-glomeration of straight-jacket vic-tims. Not one hit had been issued by the big flame-throwing rookie who would never again reach such a height of athletic ex-cellence (with the possible excep-tion of that 320-foot shot to left-center. Did I ever tell you about that one?...) But enough about myself. This article is about Bethel baseball. The Royals dropped a pair to St. John's Saturday by scores of 5-2 and 4-1. They hope to end the season on a winning note as they play doubleheaders at Macalester last Tuesday and at Northwestern today. Tennis team ends conference season in ninth place by Steve Erickson The tennis team concluded its first season in the MIAC last weekend with a ninth place finish in the conference tournament. Gustavus Adolphus again took the title, winning five of six singles matches and all three doubles matches. Mark Norlander and Wayne Abbott were the only Royals to proceed past the preliminary round, with each one winning one match. These wins helped Bethel place ahead of Macalester and out of last place. Coach Craig Schmidt was disappointed with the season the team had, winning only two mat-ches all year. "We lost a lot of close matches but we still should have done better than we did," he said. continued on page 10 Page 11 Honors of Women Athlete of the Year given to Bobbi Hersch Tennis club loses squeaker against Augsburg College The two mile relay team of Brenda Harris, Gail Anderson, Bobbi Hersch and Denise Egge placed high enough to go to the national meet at Emporia, Kansas. Women thinclads impressive in state meet at U of M Craig and Ron Hanson were wearing smiles despite being banned from the Clarion Golf Epic. Page 12 by Carol Madison Bethel softball had an im-pressive week of games as they defeated Concordia of St. Paul in two games and put on a good showing in the state tournament. On May 2, the team beat Con-cordia 7-4 and 9-8 in close games. The first game went nine innings after a tie of 4-4 in the seventh. Cindy Martin struck out seven batters and went 3 for 5, adding 2 RBI's. Vicki Wright also had 2 RBI's and Robin Erbst went 3-4 at the plate. Second baseman Ruth Moser combined with Janet Reynolds at first on good defensive plays which held Concordia down. Bethel also won the second game 9-8, but things didn't go well the first inning as Concordia scored six runs off Martin. Janet Soic finished and held them to two runs the rest of the game. Ruth Moser went 2 for 3 and had 3 RBI's, as did Soic. "We were able to capitalize on their six errors," said Coach Karyl Frye. The Royals then competed in the state tournament over the weekend and won one game and lost two in the double elimination tournament. Bethel, which was ceded 14 out of 16, defeated number three ceded Moorhead State 7-1 in the first game. Cindy Martin held Moorhead to only five hits, and the rest of the team backed her up with good defensive play. Costly errors by Moorhead and good hitting by Bethel gave the Royals the advan-tage in the game. Bethel then lost to Mankato 11-7 after being tied 4-4 in the fourth. Cindy Martin was 3 for 4, with a homerun and 4 RBI's. Teri Visel had two hits, including a double, and Ruth Moser went 3-4. Mankato made use of its two home runs and a double by having more runners on at the time, which was a big factor in the game. Bethel then played Southwest State immediately after Mankato and lost, so they were eliminated from the tourament. The team com-mitted five errors and didn't hit well due to lack of energy reserves. Bethel threatened to score in the bottom of the seventh with three straight hits by pinch hitters Deb Sension, Jacki Dill and Joann Kormann, but a strikeout and a pop-up with bases loaded stopped the threat. "We played three state colleges that can offer at least partial scholarships and have well-established teams," said Coach Frye. "But we still played good ball against them." The team made a good showing and people started to take notice of Bethel after they beat Moorhead. Several coaches com-mented on the good ball playing that Bethel showed. The team concluded its season with a game at St. Benedict on May 9. The Royals were 5-10 for the season before this game. by Laura Woodruff On May 5 and 6 at the Universi-ty of Minnesota, the Bethel women's track team qualified more people for regionals and scored more points at the state track and field meet this year than any other year. Seven women qualified scoring 18 points for Bethel. Golden Valley Lutheran College won the meet, while Moorhead State and St. Cloud State tied for second place. Denise Egge placed seventh in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:19.6, which is a Bethel record and regional qualifying time. Other regional qualifiers in-clude Sandy Hobbs, Lynn Sever-son, Bobbi Hersch and Katie Miller in the 880 relay placing fourth with a Bethel record of 1:53.6. Egge qualified in the 1500-meter. run with a Bethel record of 4:46.5 and a fourth place. Egge, Severson, Hersch and Miller also qualified in the mile relay where they not only broke a Bethel record and took eight se-cond off their best time, but plac-ed second with a time of 4:06. Regionals will be held at Em-poria, Kansas on Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13. Bethel will not be competing in any of the afore mentioned events because many of the runners can-not afford to miss any more classes. Miller will not be competing in the high jump either. But, the two-mile relay team which qualified for regionals at the Macalester Invitation will be go-ing to Emporia. That team is made up of Hersch, Egge, Gail Anderson and Brenda Harris. The 440-yd. relay, made up of Miller, Hersch, Severson and Hobbs, broke a Bethel record with a time of 52.8. In the 1500-meter run Brenda Harris placed twelfth with a 5:09 for her personal best time. In the same event Karlene Kline also had her best time of 5:42. Harris also made it to finals in the 800-meter run with a 2:28 by Bruce Olsen Tee-off time begins at 11 a.m. on Monday, May 15 for the Third Annual Bethel Clarion Como Study Day Golf Epic (TABC-CSDGE). The golf classic organizers hope for a turnout of some 40 golfers, with many famous Bethel personalities par-ticipating. No positions remain to be filled. Such notables as Arlan "Broken-club" Swanson, Tad "The Slice" Johnson, Tim "Did I Hit That?" Doten, Dave "Should be on the Tour" Osgood (formerly Dave "Mulligan" Osgood), Jerry Healy, Al Glenn and Dan Taylor will be participating in this third annual event. The status of Chuck "Is He Still Here?" Haaland is still under in-vestigation. It is rumored that tournament organizers are willing to drop charges of cheating against Haaland because of a threatened lawsuit by Haaland supporters (himself). Will Healy and John Priestly, partners in Haaland's foursome last year, have notably received mysterious checks in the mail for not remembering a thing that happened in last year's tourna-ment. Both Healy and "The Priest" deny any knowledge of time. In the same event Anderson did a 2:19.6. About the state meet Coach Shirley Dawson said, "I was really pleased that they were able to be so strong. It was a good end to a good season." such alleged payoffs. The last member of the foursome has somehow disappeared into thin air. The rumors about these alleged payoffs began when Healy was seen driving a new, yellow Porsche and Priestly suddenly took a trip to the warmer climates of Florida. The investigation con-tinues with a ruling to be made approximately ten minutes before the tournament is to begin. There is also a controversy brewing between two former partners of the golf epic, Al Glenn and Jerry Healy. Healy claims that he is tired of carrying Glenn through previous tour-naments and has not decided yet if he is willing to do so again. Glenn makes a similar claim, saying that his score is keeping the team competitive. Only time will tell the outcome. For those of you who do not wish to support this tournament with your participation, you are invited to join the large gallery that is sure to develop when the press releases hit the television stations and newspapers. It costs nothing to be a part of the Clarion Golf Epic gallery, so please plan to come out and cheer on your favorite hack.
