Escaped Ugandan tells story
by Mark Rentz
Kefa is coming to Bethel April
23, 24, but he isn't running—at
least not from General Idi Amin.
Kefa Sempangi and his family
narrowly escaped death at the
hands of Amin's chief assassins in
September, 1973.
In an article for "Sojourners"
(May 22, 1978), Kefa described
events of four years ago when five
men followed him after he preach-ed
an Easter morning sermon.
"They had come to kill me,"'he
said, "and wanted to know if I
had anything to say before I died.
I confessed, with trembling knees,
that I was already a dead man.
How, I wanted to know, could a
dead man in Christ be killed by
men dead in their sins?
"The men became silent," he
continued, "They asked for
prayer and left. All five were con-verted
to Christianity. Months
later, they helped my family and
me in our escape from Uganda."
Uganda is a small country in
East Africa with a population of
11 million. Winston Churchill
regarded Uganda as the "Pearl of
Africa."
Uganda is predominantly a
Christian nation, but Amin, a
Muslim, attempted to portray
Uganda as an Islamic state.
Under the dictatorship of
Amin, since his coming into
power in 1971..by an overthrow of
the elected government, more
than 300,000 Ugandans have been
killed. In 1972 Amin expelled
Uganda's 50,000 Asians, its mis-sionaries,
and its Israeli nationals.
With the recent Tanzanian at-tack
on the capital, Idi Amin has
reportedly fled to Libya. A new
government in Uganda, according
to the associated press, appears to
be on the horizon.
Kefa Sempangi was born in
1939 in a rural Ugandan village
where his father was a peasant
cotton grower.
He is an accomplished painter
and sculptor, graduating with an

M.A. from the Royal College of
Art in London. He received his
Doctrandese (all but dissertation)
in Art History from the Free
University of Amsterdam.
Graduating also from Westmin-ster
Theological Seminary, he
received a Master of Divinity
degree in Theology.
While teaching art history at
Makerere University, he founded
and pastored the 14,000 member
Redeemed Church, the only in-digenous,
evangelical church in
Uganda, and also began an or-phanage

They were certain that the sus-pect
had stolen some goods from
the store. Linda, one of the securi-ty
officers, followed him as he
headed for the doors. Tom had
been alerted and was on his way.
The thief left the building. Lin-da
ordered him back. At that mo-ment
Tom had made his way to
the outside. When the suspect saw
Tom, the hold Linda had on the
suspect's arm was useless. Tom
could see he was going to run.
Even with a head start, Tom
caught up to the suspect with a
flying tackle and, in the process,
broke his finger. Finding $30
worth of goods on him, the securi-ty
officers called the police.
Stories like this are com-monplace
according to Tom, a
security guard at a local depart-ment
store who asked to be kept
anonymous.
The reactions people have when
caught vary. Some say, "Do you
want money?" while others
become physically sick and cannot
control their bodily functions.
More often than not people are
extremely embarrassed and humil-iated.
"I should never do this kind
of stuff," is the common cry.
Excuses do not differ much.
Young people generally say,
"Everybody does it," or ,"It
seems like it would be easy."
Older people "Don't know" or
say, "It looks so easy."
Tom knows differently. With the
security force the store has it is not
easy, because, as he put it, "We're
good."

to 80. They come from all social

Challenged by speakers like An-thony
Campolo, many students
discovered a new sense of social
responsibility as Christians this
year. Many are now experiencing
some frustrations in facing the im-mensity
of world problems and
the seemingly futile efforts of an
active few.
Most feel the need to voice their
questions and opinions concern-ing
world hunger, the poor, and
simple life-style.
Where do we even begin? How
can we make an impact on the
problems confronting us? And
what about things like the arts and
higher education? Where do they
fit in?

Don Postema, "a group of us

many areas of importance for us
to approach alone."

Bethel and buildings have become synonymous lately. Every new ad-dition
whether it be dorms or offices marks the growth of the college.
However, as plans are being drawn up for even more additions next
year, we as a community should also make plans for building each other
up. Otherwise, Bethel will be "buildings," instead of "people."
The concept of building up one another (edification) is a recurrent
theme in the epistles. The idea stems from the analogy that we are mem-bers
of the body of Christ, working together to glorify God.
First of all, the task of building up one another requires practical love
— not the unrealistic, ephemeral "luv" but the self-denying, compas-sionate
love that comes only from God.
It requires a strong commitment and a creative vision, the ability to
see beyond finals week or graduation.
If we are to build up each other, we also need to be sensitive to each
other's needs. Patience, and humility are a must. There should be no
room for apathy or prejudice.
We should also refrain from making harsh and hasty judgments on
others. Not all criticisms are constructive or even necessary.
Since most of us are here for such a short time, we should make the
most of our times together. We are here to prepare for the future and to
strengthen each other for the battle with the "world."
In an academic and a basically Christian setting it is easy to become
cynical and hypercritical about each other. We can destroy the rare op-portunity
for close fellowship and support that this setting offers.
Therefore, as the apostle Paul said, "Let us then pursue what makes
for peace and for mutual upbuilding." (Rom. 14:19)
Though it is a very loosely united group, the new Christian
Discipleship Coalition represents an exciting attitude in the Bethel com-munity.
In response to a series of chapel speakers (Anthony Campolo, John
Perkins and others) and a realization of societal and world needs, this
group of students and faculty members is meeting to discuss how they
can take positive action.
We encourage more students and faculty members to join in finding
ways to actively demonstrate Christian values in a needy world.
Hopefully, in the next school year the CDC will continue in doing
more than just talk about our responsibilities.

I have just recently become

of this problem.

Larson, Schimdt propose singspirations, shabangs
by Tern Sue Hanson
Mary Beth Larson and Bob
Schmidt are the campus coordina-tors
for next year. Mary Beth said,
"I wanted to apply and I was
looking for someone to apply
with. Some kids recommended
Bob. I knew who he was, but I
didn't really know him."
Bob continued the story, "she
skated up to me one night at a
Bethel rollerskating activity and
asked me if I wanted to apply to
be a campus coordinator next
year. I said no."
But Mary Beth persuaded Bob
to apply. Bob commented, "I was
planning to transfer next year. But
the Lord just worked everything
out so smoothly, that I really feel
that this is his will."
Mary Beth and Bob spent be-tween
20 and 25 hours writing out
the application. Mary Beth ex-plained,
"The application asked
for motives, background, any
changes we would make in the set-up,
and it included all the activi-ties
we would plan if chosen."
Mary Beth and Bob were cho-sen.
Actually, they were the only
ones to complete the full ap-plication
process.
Mary Beth said, "There were
about four of us at first, but the

"I love it. It's super."
Nancy Dornfeld's comment was
typical last week as women talked
about their recent move into the
new Bodien dorm.
On Saturday, April 7, 169
women from Old Campus packed
up their worldly possessions and
completed the long awaited move
to new campus. After many de-lays,
the women finally moved in-to
the "promised land" about six
months later than originally plan-ned.
Marilyn Starr, director of hous-ing,
was pleased with the results of
the move. "The situation was
really touch-and-go before spring
break, and during break I was
really discouraged," confessed
Starr. But she has heard "only
good reports from the girls" who
moved, so she is happy that the
move was completed in spite of
the late date.
Starr explained that in early
February she and Mack Nettleton,
director of student affairs, held a
meeting with the Old Campus resi-dents.
At that meeting it was de-cided
that a majority vote would
determine the final decision re-garding
the move.
On Monday, March 26, a ballot
was distributed. Starr heard the
results Tuesday morning: 62-60 in
favor of moving. "Then we didn't
know exactly what to do," she ad-mitted.
They decided to have another
meeting that night, at which time
more people voted. The final
count was still close, but it was
agreed upon to abide by the deci-other
three teams dropped out,
one just a few days before the de-cision."
Mary Beth and Bob said the
campus coordinators should be re-sponsible
to serve the students.
"They must try to please the stu-dents
as much as possible, and at
the same time stimulate them to-ward
new interests," _Mary Beth
said.
"But, most important," she ad-ded,
"the campus coordinators
are responsible for representing
Biblical standards and the stand-ards
that Bethel has set up. This
means choosing activities which
are pleasing to the Lord."
What kind of activities can
Bethel community expect next
year? "After many hours of con-centrating,
brainstorming, and
praying, we have set up a tentative
schedule of events which include
at least one evening every weekend
throughout the year, along with a
few activities planned during the
week," Bob said.
"Such things as Homecoming,
Nik-Dag, rollerskating, Guthrie
performances, Sno Daze, Moods,
Spring Formal and all-School
Banquet are events that student-slook
forward to attending," he
added. "Therefore, we feel they
should be planned again;
sion made in February and let the
majority choose.
George Beyer, a Bethel student,
organized the people and trans-portation
needed, and by 8:30 Sat-urday
morning things were ready
to go. The actual move went
"very well" according to Bruce
Kunkel, director of student resi-dence.
"I was amazed at how in-volved
people got," Kunkel said.
"Cooperation was great."
Sophomore Lisa Swanson was
also very positive about the move.
When asked about the hassle of
packing, loading up, etc., she re-plied,
"It only took me a few
hours. The guys really helped us
out, and it was well worth it."
Nancy Dornfeld said, "Even
some girls who didn't want to
move are glad they did now that
it's over."
Larry Meegan, resident director
at Old Campus' Edgren, express-ed
an alternative opinion: "The
(female-to-male) odds were 10-1
here, now they are only 3-1," he
said somewhat dejectedly. In an
attempt at optimism, he added,
"It is quieter here now, though."

with new ideas for these events

visiting Israel during spring break.

Hebrew Christians share with Rausch
by Betty Logan
Dr. David Rausch, assistant
professor of geography and his-tory,
has had a great interest in
evangelical-Jewish relations for
several years, and over spring
break he had a unique opportuni-ty
to further his study.
C. Douglas Young, the founder
of the Institute of Holy Land
Studies, invited Rausch to Israel
to help plan materials to be used
in a new organization called
Bridges for Peace. Bridges for
Peace will be a group "aiming at
Jewish-Christian relationships on
a grassroots level," said Rausch.
The plan Young sees for the
organization is for two people, a
Jew and a Christian, to get
together, and get to know one
another. Rausch will be writing
material to help facilitate this type
of interaction and understanding.
For several years, Rausch, who
has done extensive study on
Jewish-Christian relations during
the past century, has been writing
on fundamentalists and their rela-tionship
to the Jews. He has had

Being accepted in SMP involves
more. time than one might think.
The Student Missionary Program,
which allows students to become
summer missionaries in order to
learn first-hand about missions,
first requires a potential SMPer to
undergo the application process.
This involves two steps; first, an
application must be filled out, and
second, the applicant must be in-terviewed.
After the interview, the com-mittee
evaluates each applicant
and accepts most into the pro-gram.
Then, based upon personal
interests and goals, the new
SMPer selects his place of service.
An SMP file lists places that have
expressed interest in having stu-dents
work at their mission for a
summer.
"We help the student select an
area for service, but the final deci-sions
rests with the individual,"
said Cindy Martin, president of
SMP. "We are open to other
areas (other than those in the SMP
file), but the new SMPer has the
responsibility of making the deci-sion.
Once the student is accepted in-to
an area of service, the SMPer
continues to make final prepara-tions
for their summer exper-iences.
This includes orientation
sessions, "culture shock" classes
(where students are exposed to,
and learn how to, cope with their
new environment), and personal
preparation (through prayer and
Bible study).
Once these stages are finished,
the SMPer is then ready to go out
on his mission.
Upon returning to Bethel the

Jewish journals such as
"American Zionist" and "Jewish
Social Studies."
Some of his articles have
filtered to Israel, where Young
became familiar with Rausch and
his work. When planning his
Bridges for Peace organization,
Young felt Rausch could be a
helpful advisor due to his under-standing
of Jewish-Christian rela-tions.
Rausch was particularly happy
to cooperate with Young
because,in the book he is currently
writing on Jewish-evangelical rela-tions
from 1918 to the present,
Young is one of the leading
characters.
"Young is well respected in
both the Christian • and Jewish
communities," said Rausch.
"I believe that Christian-Jew
relationships have been strained
because Christians do not under-stand
how Jews feel," said
Rausch. "They don't understand
how the cross throughout history
has meant persecution to the
Jews."
One example Rausch cites is the
Crusaders, who wore crosses, and
following fall, all project members
work the following year in sup-porting
the project and partici-pating
in all activities planned for
that year (for example, sharing in
chapel, working with concerts and
other special events, and working
on four main committees: orienta-tion,
application-enlistment, pro-motion,
fundraising).
Cindy found that people need
to become more informed about
SMP finances.
"Each SMPer has to raise his
support for the summer," she
said. "SMP generally contributes
only 30 per cent of the student's
total financial needs during the
summer, and the additional sup-port
comes from what the student
can obtain on his own efforts.
"These other means of support
can be parents, church, friends,
and relatives, and it becomes,
therefore, a real experience for the
SMPer for they must feel the frus-tration
and finally resultant praise
to God when all the finances can
be accounted for. It is part of the
missionary experience," said Cin-dy.
To help with the financing of
would herd Jews into their syna-gogues
and then burn them alive
while singing hymns. It is this bar-rier
that both Rausch and Young
are trying to overcome.
One of the highlights of
Rausch's trip was being able to
meet with Hebrew Christians.
There are about a dozen of these
congregations in Israel.
One problem the Hebrew Chris-tians
are currently facing, and one
that Rausch is concerned about, is
the practice some Christians have
made of pretending to convert to
Judaism to gain citizenship in
Israel, and then proceeding with
mission activity.
The Jewish believers are upset
with the unethical quality of this
practice, and are afraid of what it
will do to their testimonies and
future legal attitudes to Christians
in Israel.
This practice has grown out of
the Israeli situation where no new
mission organizations are allowed
into Israel, but Jews are granted
immediate citizenship.
"A current example," said
Rausch, "is James M. Hutchens
and his family who converted to
the project, SMP sponsored a
concert by High Priest and the
Pharisees.
Another means of support
comes from the newly-formed
Associates program.
In the program, students can
contribute toward the finances of
SMPers. After a donation is made
the supporter will receive SMP
newsletters during the summer.
Bethel students have the oppor-tunity
in this way to become more
intimate with the workings of
SMP during the summer.
Of those who are going out this
summer, these SMPer's are plan-ning
the following places for

Africa; Janice Clark, Bolivia;

Finlays stress servanthood
by Kathy Sears
Many students only think of
Dr. Paul Finlay, the registrar, as
the one they must see about credit
and transcript problems.
However, there is much more to
the position and the man who
holds that position than most stu-dents
realize.
Before coming to Bethel in
1958, Dr. Finlay attended several
schools and was a flight instructor
in the Army Air Corps at Rakin
Field, Calif.
While pursuing his studies, he
met his wife-to-be, Faith. For two
years they worked in a private
boys' home in New Hampshire for
adolescents aged 9-15, which
Finlay said, was "a most en-joyable
experience." One of those
boys, Robert Frykholm, no_w has
a daughter at Bethel.
When he first came to Bethel,
Finlay taught Christian Education
and used his pilot's license to
whisk President Lundquist and
others to speaking engagements.
Although he has let his license
lapse, he would enjoy flying
again.
In 1962, he became the school's
first full-time registrar and direc-tor
of admissions. The student
body has tripled in size since then,
and he now holds only the regis-trar's
job, one which, he says, he
enjoys immensely.
Finlay views the complex task
of matching classes and rooms as
"an intriguing jigsaw puzzle."
But he particularly likes the per-sonal
contact with students.
Servanthood is an important
focus of the Finlays' life. "All of
our married life, we've tried to
think in terms of servanthood,
contributing to the well-being of
others," he said. "Meeting the
other's needs in marriage is what
it's all about."
"Someone recently asked my
wife and me," Finlay continued,
" 'if you could be any age, which
would you be?' We both said we'd
want to enjoy the age we are now,
for we enjoy life so much now.
When he spoke of retiring in a
couple of years, Finlay com
mented, "We're not dreading
retirement, we're looking forward
to it immensely. The past 10 to 12
years have been very exciting
because we have come to see that
everything we have belongs to the
Lord and should be used for Him
somehow."
Among the many plans and
possibilities in retirement is buying
a home in Rochester, Minn. They
would like a home with two or
three extra bedrooms to provide
free room and board to relatives
of Mayo Clinic patients. The
Finlays see this as a way they
could serve God and help others at
the same time.

,I always seem to be trying to
find time for studying. So one
day, I decided to analyze the way
I spent my time. I made the
following observations.
2:00 -Done with classes
for the day. "I think
I deserve a break.
I'll get my books
from my locker and
check . my P.O."
2:15 -Head for the
library. "If I don't
see anyone who
wants to go to the
coffee shop, I sup-pose
I'll study. Here
comes someone I
know."
2:30 -Talking in the cof-fee
shop. "I have so
much work. I think
I'll take off pretty
soon."
3:00 -Still in the coffee
shop. "I think I'll
leave now."

"I left my books
down by the coffee

is the most boring
book I've read for

8:00 -Break time.
"Mmmm they have

maple-nut, forget
about the calories."

think I'll go home at
9:30."
9:30 -"I think I'll go

The library is quieter
and emptier. Only
studious kids like me
are left."
4:30 -"Wow! I must have
slept. (I hope I
didn't snore). Time
for supper.
5:00 -"That wasn't a very

"I'd like to have a musical theatre
workshop that would be open to
any person who would enjoy it. I
wouldn't want only theatre people
to be allowed into the class," said
Miller.
When asked how he felt about
the coming year he said, "I'm
really excited. The caliber of pro-duction
in the department is in-creasing
and the commitment
from students and faculty is really
good. It is fun to be a part of
something growing."
The one thing Miller would
really like to see begin to happen
next year is for theatre arts to
receive the kind of attention it de-serves
as an art form.
"The Bethel community has to
become'aware of what is happen-ing
in theatre arts. They need to
take notice of the quality Chris-tian
drama that is being produced
both here and elsewhere," said
Miller. "We really need the com-munity's

Senate action
Controversial bills bombard senate
An active student senate passed
one bill Tuesday night and several
more were introduced, some of
them quite controversial.
"If the number and quality of
the bills introduced so far is any
indication of the competence of
the senate," said junior senator-at-
large Dennis Johnson, "we've
got a bright future."
Johnson authored the first bill
to go throughd the new senate
which authorized the purchase of
a Twin City map, at a cost of
$169. The new map replaces one
stolen from the corridor near the
skyway in the Fine Arts building.
To be discussed and voted upon
next Tuesday is a bill requiring
KABY to play records by Chris-tian
artists only, and another
which would open the new student
recreation room during chapel.
Less controversial legislation to
be voted upon next week includes
a bill to improve the student ID.
The card will include more student
information so local stores and
businesses can accept it as official
identification.
The senate will also consider
two recommendation-type bills.
One says the senate supports a
well-known Nestle boycott and
the other recommends an increase
in the support of a Christian ser-vice
organization. The Nestle bill
asks that the food service and ven-ding
machine operators cooperate
with the boycott of Nestle pro-ducts.
The Christian service bill asks
Dean Brushaber to increase full-time
staff to one, and to purchase
vehicles for transportation. The
author of the bill, Cheryl Thomas,
apparently feels that Bethel's
commitment to the area of Chris-tian
service to the community is
lacking.
In action last week, Phil
Thompson defeated Dennis
Johnson in the race for president
pro tem, 6-7 with one abstention.
Johnson, however, was not bitter,
saying, "Phil will do a great job."
The senate will meet on Tues-day
in the AC lounge at 6 p.m.
and the session will be open, as
usual.

Royals topple NW, SPBC
by Carol Madison
The women's softball team is
undefeated after the first two
games of the season, beating Nor-thwestern
and St. Paul Bible Col-lege
in unspring-like weather.
After being down 5-1 in the top
of the fifth inning, Bethel scored
eight runs in the fifth to defeat
Northwestern 9-7. The Royals col-lected
eleven hits and made three
errors.
"The defense played well," said
Coach Karyl Frye. "Our goal is to
keep our errors down to two or
less per game, so I was pleased
with our first game."
Six people had perfect fielding
percentages, and winning pitcher
Vicki Wright was named defensive
player of the game. She had nine
assists and putouts without an er-ror
and worked herself out of two
tough innings with important de-fensive
plays.
Cindi Ramm was outstanding
offensive player of the game, go-ing
three-for-four with two
doubles and four RBI's. Vicki
Wright was two-for-two and Tam-my
Miller went two-for-four.
The Royals then defeated St.
Paul Bible 11-5 on six hits and
nine SPB errors. Bethel had only
one error.
Wright was again named out-standing
defensive player, pitch-ing
a one-hitter and striking out 12
batters. She had 17 putouts and
assists, while seven other team-members
played perfect defense.
Tammy Miller, named offen-sive
player, had three RBI's on a
sacrifice bunt and a double. Julie
Stake also had three RBI's.
"It was a tough game because
of the cold and windy day," said
Coach Frye. "They had a slow
pitcher, so I wasn't pleased with
our hitting. I would like our hit-ting
to be consistent, regardless of
the type of pitcher."
Lorri Brace showed hustle by
stealing three bases while playing
only four innings.
by Steve Erickson
Weak-hitting first baseman
Todd Johnson slammed a three
run homer, powering the Royal
batsmen to a 5-2 victory over St.
Mary's in their initial game of the
season.
The second-inning blast was all
Bethel needed to top the visiting
Redmen. Greg Thom and Tom
Weko started the inning with
singles and went to third on a
passed ball. Greg Smith then
walked. Mark Barton, the next
batter, sent a screaming line drive,
caught by the first baseman who
promptly doubled Smith off first.
Johnson, the ninth batter in the
lineup, worked the count to 2 and
2 and choked up ont he bat in
order to have more bat control.
He punched the next pitch to the,
opposite field and over the right
field fence.
St. Mary's scored single runs in
the middle innings. The other
Bethel runs were knocked in by
Paul Lindberg, who doubled in
"We are an extremely fast
-team," said Frye, "so I hope our
stolen bases will increase as we
work on our base running."
The Royals play Gustavus and
Concordia St. Paul tomorrow in
away games at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Their next home games are April

the fifth, and Dan Fauth, who
tripled in the sixth.
Since it was a bitter-cold day,
the umpires wanted to postpone
the second game of the double-header
but were convinced by the
coaches to stay.
But with the score tied 0-0 after
the regulation seven innings, the
umps walked out. So Bethel
stands 1-0-1.
Little action occurred in the se-cond
game. Bethel's Weko had
held the Redmen to three hits
while the St. Mary's pitcher only
allowed two hits.
The Royal's play in the field
was especially good for the first
time out.
At present, Bethel is the only
undefeated team in the conference
but most squads have played quite
a few more games.
Tomorrow Augsburg hosts the
Royals in a doubleheader. The
first game starts at noon.

The women's track team started
the outdoor season by finishing
first in the Bethel Co-ed Invita-tional
and then placing third
behind St. Cloud and the Univer-sity
of Minnesota-Duluth at the
St. Cloud Invitational.
Bethel scored 87 points to take
first place over Stout 64.5,
Carlton 44.5, and St. Thomas 40
in the first host meet of the
season.
"I was pleased with the meet,"
said Coach Shirley Dawson,
"because Stout beat us earlier in
the indoor season."
Sara Baker set a school record
and qualified for the regionals in
the discus with a throw of 133 feet
31/4 inches. Denise Egge and Tain
Anderson also qualified in the
1500-meters with times of 4:57.85
and 5:10.6, respectively.
Egge also placed first in the 800
meters in 2:24.9.
Deb Sension won the javelin
with a record throw of 86'2", and
also place first in the high jump at
4'8". Lynn Severson took first in
the 100-meters in 13.20, and Sen-sion
finished third in 13.6. Tina
Anderson finished second int he
400-meter hurdles.
The 400-meter relay team plac-ed
first in a record time of 52.39.
Sara Baker also won the shop put,
and JoAnn Griffin and Sension
placed second and third behind
her.
Coach Dawson was satisfied
witht he results of the St. Cloud
meet in which Bethel placed third
out of five teams.
"It was by far the best we've
ever scored against UMD and St.
Cloud. We placed in almost every
event, so I thought we did well
after three days of vacation," she
said.
The 800-meter medley relay
team of Sherri Lindquist, Shelli
Rauma, JoAnn Griffin and Lynn
Severson took first in a record
time of 1:52.87 which qualified
them for regionals.
