THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 17 March 3, 1978 Council rules in favor of Bethel rezoning by G.W. Smith The Arden Hills Village Coun-cil ruled last Monday, Feb. 27, in favor of rezoning the entire Bethel campus from R-1 (residen-tial) to LB (light business), an im-portant step in meeting Bethel's building needs. That action of the council strengthened hopes of Bethel ad-ministrators that two new dor-mitories will be completed on the Arden Hills campus in time for occupation in the fall. With the college now rezoned as a light business, Bethel ad-ministrators will appear before the council on March 6 to apply for building permits, receiving final recommendation from the council on March 13. Administrators will begin tak-ing bids on March 14 for con-struction of the two dormitories and according to Dave Lissner, director of community relations, construction will begin shortly thereafter. Originally five dormitories were planned for occupation next fall, but the lengthy litigation of Northwestern College with Arden Hills caused Bethel administrators to await the outcome of the trial before applying for the required building permits. According to Dr. Carl H. Lund-quist, president of Bethel College, Bethel awaited the outcome of that trial, "lest action at Bethel prejudice the case there." J. Jerome Plunkett, Ramsey County District Court Judge presiding in the case between Northwestern College and Arden Hills, delivered his decision on Thursday, Feb. 16, and ruled in favor of the City of Arden Hills. In the legal opinion issued detailing his decision, Judge Plunkett ruled that Zoning Or-dinance No. 99 limits private col-leges to location in limited business districts. "In effect this means that the plaintiff's property (Northwestern College) is a non-conforming use. It may continue to exist in Arden Hills but it may not enlarge or ex-pand its facility," said the opinion issued by Judge Plunkett. When asked regarding the im-plications of his decision with referal to a recent precedent set in previous cases of this nature, Judge Plunkett denied any knowledge of such a precedent. William J. Hempel, the at-torney representing Northwestern College in the case, stated that it was that precedent which formed a major portion of their case. Director of Public Affairs at Northwestern College, Gene Kor-dick, responded to the judge's decision with disappointment. "We will appeal that ruling," said Kordick, "and beyond that we will study other ways and means to achieve our objectives." In response to the judge's rul-ing, President Lundquist issued a statement to the Bethel communi-ty. "In our judgement," wrote Lundquist, "the decision has serious implications for the entire educational community in Min-nesota." As a result of Judge Plunkett's decision, Bethel administrators sought rezoning from residential to light business in order to obtain necessary building permits. According to President Lund-quist, "In the light of the adverse ruling we will need to make this zoning adjustment in order to keep our building program mov-ing." In the coucil meeting on Mon-day, thirty minutes of discussion preceded the 4-1 vote which granted Bethel zoning. Councilman James Wingert questioned the "potential for a loss of control" should Bethel be by Terri Hanson Every year during March, Bethel seniors are required to take a test in their area of concen-tration. The test "measures the academic ability and achievement of college students against com-parable national standards." It consists of multiple choice questions covering anything in that particular area of concentra-tion. Karen Hauck, from testing and psychological services said, "The test is completely com-prehensive. The authors cover everything they think is impor-tant." According to Dr. Tricia Brownlee, assistant to the dean, the tests are given to see how each department's graduates are stack-ing up against other college graduates in that same field na-tionally. The results from the tests help the administration see which departments need to be "beefed up," or where Bethel's weak points are and then begin work on them. "The tests are a good measur-ing device for the students," said Karen Hauck. "It helps them determine how much they know—or don't know—about rezoned to LB. Councilman Ward M. Hanson replied, "The opinion of the public is that Bethel is no pro-blem." Hanson also said that he has not yet heard a voice speak against Bethel College. continued on page 2 their particular area of concentra-tion. The tests do not, however, help the student get into graduate school or get a job." Not all the departments have such tests, among those that do not are: anthropology, art, Bible, drama, social work, speech or special programs. Any senior con-centrating in any of those depart-ments is exempt from the testing. Apparently, every year without fail, several seniors protest against the tests saying that nowhere in the Bethel catalogue did it list the tests as a general re-quirement for a B.A. Unfor-tunately, the requirement was mistakenly left out of the present catalogue. The dean's office, however, is presently working on a new catalogue that will list the test as general requirement for a B.A. It will read like this: "Comprehen-sive exam in the concentration area during the senior year. Field tests of the. Undergraduate Asses-ment Program are used." This year the tests will be given Mon. March 13 through Wed. March 15. All participating seniors should have received notes regarding the test in their post office box. Senior concentration exams compare national standards Letter to the Editor Reps refute Clarion criticisms council ruling continued from page 1 Wingert seemed to consent and said, "It seems to be the ex-peditious way to go to rezone and perhaps the only way to go." He added, "I have no desire to delay rezoning." Councilman Charles Creighton voiced his discontentment with the application before the coun-cil. "I cannot in good conscience rezone that area as light business." Then Councilman Robert Woodburn moved to table the motion, an action which would have further postponed progress on the two dormitories. After a long moment of tense, deafening silence, the mayor moved that the motion to table the issue died for want of a se-cond. A vote was then taken and Bethel received rezoning. Another issue still at large relates to the looming threat of a trade strike. According to Lissner, this is the year for trade unions to settle contracts. "Historically," said Lissner, "this has not been settled without a strike." Lissner also mentioned that the trade unions may take their cue from the coal miner's strike. According to Burton Wessman, vice president of business affairs, the old campus sale was finalized on Feb. 7, a situation requiring additional housing. While the future of the dor-mitories seems skeptical, Director of Student Affairs, Mack Net-tleton is reassuring. According to Nettleton, in the event that a trade strike should prevent Bethel from completing the building of two new dormitories, the student affairs office has already made contingency plans. The administration has con-sidered purchasing apartments as well as the possibility of leasing apartments from Nob Hill. "I'm confident," said Nettleton, "that we'll have good housing op-tions for Bethel students next year." Dear editor, It is ironic to us that as a Bethel student of four years your editorial of last week criticizing student representation at Bethel lacked adequate and accurate in-formation in several respects. First of all, to infer that Student Senate is the only avenue of stu-dent representation ignores the existence of student-faculty com-mittees on which students sit side-by- side faculty members in deter-mining many important school policies. Furthermore, it is somewhat frustrating and discouraging that you are crying for adequate representation for a student body that submitted hardly enough ap-plications to fill those committee positions, in spite of the fact that students do play your advocated "voter" role on these committees, unlike any colleges of which we are aware. Even though there was a good deal of publicity on the commit-tee openings last fall, we actually had to recruit to get the positions filled. Your barely nominal approval of the impact of the $10 social fee was also interesting when in our opinion it (combined with very competent Campus Coordinators) revolutionized the social program at Bethel—no small accomplish-ment in one year. You also ignored our major ef-forts with service day last fall; the foreign studies committee which is developing a foreign studies in-formation bank, and is working with two highly interested faculty members; and, our extensive lob-bying efforts to secure the sale of the old campus. Furthermore, to imply that the actions of the Public Action Com-mittee are insignificant shows a lack of informed understanding of the number of dedicated Senate hours put forth on something like the volleyball marathon. It is in-deed a shame that you discount the raising of $1000 for a Peruvian medical mission as a "worthwhile accomplishment." In fact, it was undoubtedly much better time spent than our bantering back and forth in Clar-ion columns, and will probably be remembered much longer than this week's Bethel Clarion. Your request for "major legislation" holds little if any water when you don't take the time and effort to engage in specificities, probably because you have none. To criticize thusly without any substance shows more a desire to create headlines and exciting reading than to pro-vide accurate and constructive editorialism. You claim also that "the ex-ecutive committee could have been more forceful by voicing student opinion." Do you care to enlighten us as to what the "stu-dent opinion" is regarding the fee structure? Our survey was return-ed by less than one-third of the students (which is better than usual). But regardless, in case you were unaware, the Senate did take a position at a meetng which was not attended by a Clarion writer or reported on in the Clarion. (Now, who's apathetic?) On Tuesday we discussed the Senate's position with Dean Brushaber, which essentially asks for a compromise. We also made very clear the mood of the stu-dent body in our discussion. But before we end this exciting rebuttal, we repeat that just as yourself, we were not apprecia-tive of the method in which the fee structure was "decreed." We had received assurances of stu-dent representation on a decision-making board. However, the administration has offered its apoligies which we are accepting. Hopefully, this event will make available a more viable Senate-administration channel. The discussions of recent weeks also proves to us the need for a representative student body organization. Why would there be so much furor if nobody cared or wanted a Student Senate? Tad Johnson Mark Carlson —editorial `Giving spirit' eludes SMP, despite $5 per capita ideal "Every man shall give as he is able, acording to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you." — Deut. 16:17 (NASB) This verse became more clear to us recently when it was reported in last week's Clarion that SMP has only been able to collect $4225 this school year. With only two-and-one-half months left in the present year, it seems that SMP will fall far short of their goal of $10,000. This $10,000 figure usually covers about a third of the cost that it takes to send out students on summer missionary projects. The remain-ing part of their support must come from individual contributors, chur-ches back home, or out of their own pockets. There is also the stipula-tion that these students return to Bethel the next fall in order to con-tinue the SMP program and to relate their experiences to other students at Bethel. If one were to divide this $10,000 figure among the 24 SMPers to go out this summer, it would equal a little less than $420 per member. That, of course, depends on whether SMP raises their full support figure. Nevertheless, $420 does not cover much of the cost that it takes to go to a foreign field. It may cover the air fare, but not much more. This is not the first time that SMP has faced a financial crisis so late in the year, but this year seems worse than most. The $10,000 giving figure has risen little if any over the past four years. When one considers the fact that Bethel has increased enrollment by over 350 students over the past four years, and still have a difficult time in raising the $10,000 figure, it shows the giving spirit at Bethel is lacking and even getting worse. When John Perkins came to Bethel last week, his appeal for funds was answered with a chapel collection of over $600, and many students were more than willing to start support groups for Voice of Calvary ministries. The object of this editorial will not be to decide which cause is more important — SMP or Voice of Calvary ministries. But it seems rather sad that a project so worthy as SMP finds it diffidult to drum up enought support on campus to raise $250 a chapel. Students who par-ticipate in SMP may not intend to be missionaries the rest of their lives, but the experience they rind may help them decide the path they wish to follow for the rest of their lives. If every student were to give equally to SMP over the year, they would have to give about 18 cents a chapel (based on giving one chapel a week, as the system now works) to meet the $10,000 figure. This would total about $5.40 per student for the entire year, a figure that most of us find easy to spend on a single meal at a nice restaurant. Since over $5500 remains to be collected, students must give about $3 over the remainder of the year. With this giving plan in mind SMP can reach their goal. Of course, this giving effort is not limited to students. Faculty, staff and administration can also have a part in this effort to send students to mission experiences. It does not take much effort to pass the SMP buckets during Friday chapel services. But isn't the extra effort of taking a dollar of 50 cents out of one's pocket worth the end result? We believe that the final pro-duct, a mission-oriented student, is well worth a $5 investment.

"Moods is a variety show with an overlapping theme," said one former producer. In the past, many themes have emerged to tie the various modes of music, theater, and art expression together creating a most enjoyable evening. Themes such as "Learning Moods," "In the Mood," and "Tell Tale Moods" have coordinated acts of dance, mime, gymnastics, ceramics, drama, music, readings, etc. to convey a single message. This year, the producer is Jeff Miller. Jeff is a former Bethel student who is currently teaching beginning acting here at Bethel. He's been planning this show since last summer, and his talent will be evident in this production of Norman Rockwell Moods, featuring over 100 scenes coordinated with corresponding one acts, music, dance. Dean Palermo arranged and directs the music of a twelve piece or-chestra especially for this occasion. We know you will not want to miss this very special event. The cost is only one dollar...A good chance to take that girl you've been eyeing to something really fun. You'll be sur-prised at how many of your friends are in the production! Bethel at Orchestra Hall: Ferrante and Teicher are coming to Or-chestra Hall.. This is not long hair music but a very entertaining, easy listening concert. These two men travel all over the world playing duel pianos featuring popular packages and show tunes as well as some all time favorites. After this concert, we guarantee you'll be avid Ferrante and Teicher lovers. Super seats at $5.00, regulary $6.50.

Dust blown off Senate's role, revealing new hope, old apathy by Suzi Wells Since the issue about the flat-rate tuition arose, students, in-cluding some senators, have ques-tioned the effectiveness of Stu-dent Senate. Opinions range from despair of senators (one of whom, Dan Erickson, resigned last week) to new hope in the credibility of Senate. Senate advisor, Wink Menser, believes that Senate is a viable channel to the administration Senate did take action last week on the flat-rate issue, and Mark Carlson, vice president of the Student Association, drew up a statement which accepted the fee structure with two qualifica-tions. These qualifications are: "ex-emption from the flat-fee... granted to petitioning students who demonstrate...absolute financial need for exemption," and also exemption from the fee for students "under non-financial aid extenuating circumstances." The validity of the latter qualifica-tion would be determined by a committee of faculty members, administrators and students. Senate approved the above proposal 14-3. Sophomore senator Steve Hoswell said that Senate does not represent the stu-dent body by its decision to ac-cept the fee structure, even with the qualifications. He wrote a bill, which Brad Lewis co-signed, requesting a meeting with Deans Brushaber and Nettleton "to discuss the possibility of a change in the pre-sent structure as to allow the Bethel Student Senate a more im-portant role in the policy decision making at Bethel." Brad commented about Se-nate's effectiveness, saying, "We can make suggestions and try to voice student opinion, but basically, we're just a sounding board." However, other senators do not feel that Senate is ineffective or merely a rubber stamp of the ad-ministration. "Compared to other schools, we have more input into the administration," said junior Stephen V. Anderson. Students at some other schools are not even able to talk to their deans, he pointed out. Wink said that Bethel has two representatives from Senate who attend the Board of Regents meetings. "They have the same input as the dean and president provided they take the initiative to make their views heard," he said. Neither the president or dean have voting power, so they are members ex-officio, as the student representatives are. Another way Bethel is unique from other schools in student in-put is in student-faculty commit-tees. Students on these commit-tees are able to have a voice in ad-ministrative decisions. Senate, however, is the official organization that is recognized by the administration as a liaison bet-ween students and administra-tors. Paul 8attige, junior senator, also feels Senate has been effec-tive in representing the students. "Senate has done what it could as far as representing the students to the administration," he said. He added that administrators have to "be open to us, and in the case of the flat fee structure, they were open too late," althOugh they are usually receptive to Senate ideas. Steve claimed that the flat fee issue actually has given Senate more credibility. "The input we have in the future will be greater," he said. The administration, he said, realizes the importance of Senate and student input through the flat fee issue. Tad Johnson and Mark Carl-son, president and vice president of the Student Assoication, ex-plained why they believe Senate has been effective this year. Ex-amples of its effectiveness ranged from the institution of the activity fee for the Campus Coordinators to Senate's involvement with the sale of old campus, which includ-ed writing letters, circulating petitons, and actually talking to the governor's aid. As far as Senate's effectiveness Coordination in representing the students, Mark said, "Student Senate has as much authority as the students want to give to it—we can't con-tinually be brainstorming." He added that one needed to be real-istic about Senate's purpose, which is not to be a power organization. "We don't have the final say (on major policy issues)," Mark noted. "Most things need ad-ministrative approval." However, the administration does not make decisions in regard to how the $40,000 budget alloted to Senate should be spent. According to Paul and Steve, students need to believe in the ef-fectiveness of Senate. They pointed out that they do their best to represent the student, and that students do not realize all the responsibilities of a senator. "Kids can't judge (Senate) not knowing what's going on," Steve said. It's hard, he claimed, to represent a student body which is basically apathetic. He and Paul encourage students to have an in-put by becoming involved on student-faculty committees, at-tending the senate meetings, and answering Senate surveys.

Page 3 by David Shelley Since the day Bethel allowed dating Bethel guys have lamented over the various excuses girls give for not going on a date (though only a minority of Bethel guys have experience from which to speak). Nevertheless, excuses are as time-honored a tradition as dating, and I consulted three female RAs who helped me compile a list of favorite excuses for not going on a date, so that girls may add them to their repertoire, and guys may develop striking comebacks. Here is the com-pilation: My RA told me not to date Bethel guys. I'm in a position right now where I wouldn't feel comfortable saying yes. I have to clean the scum out of the tub that night. I'm going to be sick. I have to wash my hair. I have to frost and tip my hair. I have to attend to each one of my split ends individually. I have the gift of celebacy. I haven't had my devotions yet. I have to refill my down vest. I just broke our mirror and decided to stay inside. I'm expecting a call from my mother. I'm expecting somebody else to ask me. I don't have any clean socks. It's against my religion. I thought dating' was against the Bethel lifestyle. All my ancestors went insane when they turned 23. I eat a lot. I turn into a pumpkin at midnight. I turn into a werewolf at midnight. I turn into a bore almost immediately. I'm on a steak and lobster diet. I'm reading "Asher Lev." Nobody ever asks me on a second date. I'm giving dating up for Lent. I already had a date this month. I have to practice my autoharp. Our townhouse is having a quilting bee. I'll have to ask my mother first. My mother told me never to go out with strangers and you're the strangest. I have to do my Sunday school lesson. I have to sit up with a sick friend. That's bath night. I'm not very fun to be with. You must have the wrong person. You're not very fun to be with. There are tornado warnings out. I'll go if you can get a date for my roommate. She's 5-foot-3 and 340 pounds, but she's tons of fun.

"If you light a match, this com-munity would explode," said Dan Carlson, spokesman for the Como-Falcon Heights Communi-ty Coalition, Inc., an active group of Job Corps opponents. So begin the vastly different perceptions of two groups on one situation—a vocational school for - poor juvenile minority members, in a residential area. There are many other differences. The coalition is an incorpor-ated group of opponents seeking legal means to stop the center at Bethel. They are high-profile and vocal. The Bethel Neighborhood Organization is not incorporated and exists as an alternative. "We're not setting up two oppos-ing camps to fight it out," said BNO member Tom Rush. When the coalition makes a move, especially in publicity tac-tics, the BNO responds to counter information they call "inaccurate and not at all balanced by any stretch of the imagination." Safety is the key issue. Will it be safe? "Yes," says the BNO; "No," says the coalition. At the heart of those answers are differ-ent understandings of Job Corps students—who will they be? "The majority of the kids will be placed by the court," said Nord. The coalition feels Per-pich's demand to exclude felons is meaningless since a juvenile may commit felon acts that are not classified as such, citing cases where rape was excused as mis-conduct. However, Tom Rush of the BNO said 80 to 90 per cent of the students will have had only minor contact, or none, with the law. Felons who are admitted will have probably been convicted of car theft. "But a 17-year who's stolen a car once is not the same as a 45-year-old felon," said Baldwin, who teaches disaffected youths, Coalition member Donna Carlson, who has a degree in criminology, objects to the Job Corps from a professional stand-point. She believes the proposed ratio of staff and faculty to students will not be adequate. "If every kid were a felon, I could see that," said Baldwin. "But if less than 20 per cent have had serious contact with the law, 140 adults will be effective." Both groups have researched some of the 60 Job Corps Centers in other communities across the United States. The coalition said they haven't found one successful relationship between the neighbors and the 30 centers con-tacted. They've collected stacks of newspaper clippings reporting rapes, murders, and thefts. Other centers, they contend, are so rurally-situated there is no com-munity to affect. "Sure there are some pro-blems," said Rush, "out of 540,000 Job Corps students in the country, there may be 10 per cent who cause trouble. But there are a lot of good things happening." The BNO cites accounts of corps trainees helping in floods, playing with neighborhood child-ren, assisting senior citizens, but feels that a case by case exchange is not productive, and only clouds the issue, which they say is a moral one. "Coalition arguments are all smokescrrens for what is simple prejudice against poor or black juveniles," said Baldwin. "Saying that just because we can afford $50,000 homes we have a right to exclude people from our neigh-borhood is about as moral as the system where, if you were rich, you could buy your son out of the war." The Bethel Neighborhood Or-ganization says families around old campus should be "afforded every protective device," but shouldn't require "unnatural con-trols we can't enforce in the neighborhood now." "We have a lot of kids with juvenile records running around our neighborhood with less super-vision than there would be under Job Corps," said Baldwin. "The coalition is making unreasonable limits on the kinds of kids who can enroll. Pretty soon you end up excluding the people who need it most." , The coalition on the other hand feels it's clearly a legal issue. They claim negligence of Job Corps regulations in the applications procedure last May, a premature approval by Governor Perpich, and violation of residential zoning laws. They're demanding an envi-ronmental impact study, then court appeals if all else fails. Last week they were granted a temporary restraining order, when a Labor Department repre-sentative failed to defend the Corps' viability in the face of the coalition's objections. Coalition members feel duped by Governor Perpich, because of his unfulfilled promise to demon-strate a successful Job Corps in an identical neighborhood. He in-vited coalition members along on his search, but then went private-ly to Phoenix, where the Job Corps director advised him against situating a similar center in a residential area. Perpich, they claim, hushed up that advice. Shortly afterward, he approved the Job Corps. Rush thinks the coalition's de-mand for proof of a working Job Corps in an identical neighbor-hood is unrealistic and nebulous. "What is identical? Is having houses on one side, bordering Health-science majors lead a very complicated life. Not only must they schedule their studying around a multitude of labs, but after they have finished their stint of martyrdom, they must apply to another school for further educa-tion. The student then opens a Pandora's box of MCAT's, DSAT's, MCAS's, applications in-terviews and re-applications. To wallow through the paperwork and red tape makes many wonder, "Have we missed something?" On Tuesday, March 7, the Health-Careers Committee is hosting a _banquet where profes-sionals will be on hand to answer questions about post-graduate training. The meal costs only $1.00 and starts at 5:30 p.m. Students will be seated according to their interests (pre-med, pre-- dent, pre-vet, med-tech,nursing). Dr. Gerald Needham, director of Mayo Medical School, will be giving the evening's address. Following Dr. Needham's remarks, students have the op-portunity to hear professionals discuss "What are the qualities of a professional in your field?" and "What are the qualities of a Chris-tian in your field?" A time of open questions for the professionals will follow the discussion.

David Lee is assistant professor of speech and head debate coach at Bethel. He is a doctoral candidate in organi-zational communications at the University of Minnesota. During the academic year 1968-69, Dave was student body president at Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash. A consultant in communi-cations for 3M Company and Honeywell, he conducts seminars for other local organizations on how to improve communication for both the good of the organi-zation and the individuals within it. The Clarion talked with Mr. Lee last week about Bethel's strengths and weaknesses in communication, with the recent flat fee decision as a point of departure. Clarion: What are some basic principles of good organizational communications? Lee: We could talk about them for several days. One basic func-tion of good communication is orientation—letting people know what's happening. In a college, the most important source of information for students is in-structors. To just dump a decision like that (the fee structure) on the college, with faculty members as uninformed, if not more so than students, is really a disservice to the institution. The administra-tors seem to show a definite lack of awareness of how to go about meeting that need. Clarion: Those are your senti-ments as a teacher here. What about your professional analysis of the way it was decided? Lee: I look at it in terms of it's effect on the organization. By that I mean the balance between the organization's need for growth and survival, and the individual's needs within the organization. There is a constant healthy ten-sion there. When you're dealing with important change, it's good policy to explore both sets of needs as thoroughly as possible. The communication policies of the college do not reflect a balance between the organizational needs and individual needs. Clarion: Is study of 'empirical data' a substitute for examining those personal needs you speak of? Lee: I can't imagine that those data are that conclusive. And I'd like to see when that data was collected, because increasingly the emphasis in higher education is on life-long study, career-development. A good friend of mine, Dr. Harold Miller, dean of continuing education at the University of Minnesota, is a fine Christian layman, and also a fine educa-tional administrator. Time after time in personal conversations, Dr. Miller says the movement of our future will certainly be con-tinuing life-long education. A question he poses to Chris-tian liberal arts colleges, as a Christian layman and as a pro-fessional administrator, is whether Christian institutions will look at those changes and adapt their programs accordingly. Based on what he says and reading I have done, it seems the move at Bethel is contrary to what is going to be the trend in higher education. I question it on that basis alone, in addition to the fact that I would doubt very much whether the evidence is con-clusively in favor of the full-time student. Clarion: The University of Min-nesota is going to a per credit billing system, isn't it? Is that to regain part-time students? Lee: I think they're interested in other kinds of issues. Bringing back the organization's vs. in-dividual needs, I've been com-plimentary of the fee structure at Bethel because it reflects concern for the individual student. This is the first college I've been where the fee structure has been oriented for the student. Another perspective I have is as debate coach. People who work intensively in our program are benefited greatly by being able to take only three courses. They spend from fifteen to thirty hours a week researching in the fall term. That will affect only four or five students, but students none-theless who are contributing in an effective way to the college program. Academically we've been put on the map by such programs the last three years. Now our de-baters are having to readjust their planning, perhaps cutting them out of our program because, when they'll have to pay full tuition, they can't afford to not work, and if they have to work, they don't have time for debate. Clarion: You mentioned orien-tation as an important function of good communication within an institution like Bethel. What's another? . Lee: Decision-making. Com-munication is basic to decision-making. Good decision-making in an organization will utilize a range of leadership styles some-where between autocratic and democratic. People in administration tend to think of those two extremes as the only options. Usually both are unacceptable. But between, there are other options available, parti-cularly persuasive, consultative, and participative. Clarion: What is persuasive decision-making? Lee: The administration would have fairly clearly in mind what they'd like to do; but before they'd implement the policy, they'd say, "Hey, this is what we'd like to do," and then try to persuade the relevant organi-zational members to going along with it. Last fall, Bethel's administra-tion could have done that with the new fee system—sent up a trial balloon, saying "We want to go this route, and here are the reasons we should." Then four months later, they could have decided whether their persuasion was successful. The policy's implementation is not contingent upon that success, but at least the agenda is clear. And neither are they saying "We're going to try to convince you, but will implement the change anyway." That would be autocratic, not persuasive. Clarion: What do you mean by `consultative' method of decision-making? Lee: That occurs when the administration has a specific pro-posal to make. It's taken to representative groups—student members, staff, and faculty—with a request: "This is the policy we'd like to change, and here's our proposal. Will you give us some feedback?" If I had been the dean I may not have wanted those groups to become committed to a certain policy. In that case I would have said, "After three months, give me two good options, quite different from one another, that might answer this problem." That's consultative, where I would set the agenda, clearly define my wishes, and give a couple months to work on it. Communication is still fairly con-trolled, but the agenda is open, and participation is permitted back and forth. Clarion: And finally, 'partici-pative?' Lee: Representatives from faculty, staff, and students actu-ally participate in the decision. If I were dean, I may come in advo-cating my option, but I'm also open to be persuaded myself. So it's really a participation back and forth even though I realize I must, because of the position I'm in, reserve the decision. I'm open with my agenda, wanting to get fully as much input as possible from you. We might talk about it two hours a week for the next several months. Then I take that input, combine it with that of other key administrators, and make the decision. But the groups involved at least know the considerations, are aware of the obstacles to the other options, and know why the chosen option is preferable. Clarion: There have been ele-ments of those methods in the flat-fee decision. There had been some input from student leaders; by Thangi Chhangte Currently, there are 24 legal aliens and approximately 53 mis-sionary kids (MKs) studying at Bethel. They are the ones that make up part of the International Students Association (I. S.A.). Mrs. Marilyn Bohne started the organization in 1970. Her aim was to help foreign students with im-migration, finances, and some-times, understanding professors. She was Bethel's first ISA advisor. In 1975, Mrs. Bohne left Bethel and Dr. David Sperry, professor of anthropology, became the next advisor. Then in 1976, William (Wink) Menser, dean of men, agreed to become an ISA advisor since Dr. Sperry was not able to. Officers are elected every year and they are responsible for organizing and planning ac-tivities. This year, Taye Bir-machu, sophomore, is the presi-dent of the association, and Steve Schwarze, junior, is the vice president. The other officers are: Lalrin-what about that? Lee: Let me say this: for good communication to occur in an organization, and to contribute to the morale of the organization's climate, communication must not only be open, it must also appear to be open. I'm not talking about faking it when it isn't actually occurring. I'm saying good com-munication must be visible to help either image—student's or administration's. Clarion: How can that be done? Lee: If the personal com-munication styles of key admini-strators make those people seem unapproachable, they need to build in mechanisms so they can get feedback. Some way that protects the source—either hav-ing it sent anonymously, or through some other person who represents the students or faculty. There should be a specific person, available and visible, for administrators to get that feed-back from, if they feel somewhat intimidated themselves. That's a problem for some administrators here, as it is in a way for all of us. But if you're in administration, you're in a more critical position. Clarion: What happens when an 'agenda' is supposedly esta-blished, as indicated by the deans' promise to provide time for student input on the flat fee, but is then canceled, and the decision accelerates from the infancy stage to finality? Lee: That's a legitimate ques-tion. In the infancy stages, you're trying to pose a good question. If that's the position they were in fine; they needed to make sure of a clear question to raise. But once that's formulated, you want to get people involved. If you set up a procedure whereby people get used to participating, they don't puii Chhangte, secretary and treasurer; Karen Swanson, social chairman. Wink Menser is the ISA adviser this year, also. ISAers meet about once or twice a month to share foods, music and slides of foreign coun-tries. They also have a gym night once every month. And in winter, ISAers go sliding and inner-tubing on Mt. Zion. Once every year, the ISA hosts a banquet which is also open to the public. This year's banquet was held on Feb. 3, and tickets respond with panic or shock when something is initiated. Clarion: Does it seem to you that the administration lacks built-in challengers; are there too many `yes-men?' Lee: My dissertation is in organizational conflict, and one thing is very clear—conflict is a healthy and good source of input and stimulus for the organization if handled and managed properly. The problem is that many people in positions of administration are not trained at all in managing conflict, keeping it at a positive level. I would be very careful in attributing a negative motive to someone's actions, but would instead presume that it grows primarily out of ignorance, an ignorance of what good organi-zational policy is. Clarion: You were impressed with Carter's campaign because of his built in advisors whom he knew would conflict with his opinions, weren't you? Lee: And I think you can build in either consultative, or more preferable, participative man-agement, that will allow you to examine all the alternatives as thoroughly as possible, and the various costs and benefits. Dean Brushaber does send out what he calls "trial balloons." I have a list of thirty from last fall. Some we haven't followed through on, others we've dis-cussed. Clarion: How is that method inadequate? Lee: I don't think it is. But they aren't sent out on critical matters. I think they're sent out on rather peripheral matters, and matters relative to the faculty, but not to the students. were sold out a week before. The theme for the evening was "Praise the Lord All Ye Lands." Another banquet will be held on March 11, due to popular de-mand. The program will be similar to the first banquet, but the menu will be different. Tickets are three dollars for students and $3.50 for adults.

Now, thanks to Herald's Christian Supper Club, it isn't that way anymore. On New Year's Eve, opening night, club owner Harold Vogel had to turn away over 100 would-be customers. It seemed obvious then, that a supper club of this kind was just what suburban evangelicals were waiting for. Herald's is one of but a handful of Christian supper clubs in America. Its uniqueness was underscored recently by NBC television, which found the idea of a Christian supper club newsworthy enough to be featured on the Today Show. The food at Herald's is certain-ly worthy of at least local recogni-tion. The featured item, which was supposed to be thinly sliced beef, was really a generous slice of top grade sirloin covered with a delectable mixture of mushrooms, onions and other vegetables. The filet mignon, while at least two ounces smaller than other supper club's filets, is as savory as any. Both meats were broiled precisely to order and the service was prompt and courteous. "The Fable of the Brementown Four," a play written by Doug Briggs and performed by members of "In the Spirit Ministries" was the entertainment for the evening. The play has been performed at various chur-ches in the area over the past few years, however, the performance at Herald's was the first in over 14 months. The players were vivacious and exciting and their movements were precise. The songs that the players sang before and after the show were well done and the selection was appropriate. Viewed separately, both the dinner and the performance would gain the approval of any guest, but the synthesis of the two was indeed poor. The play was introduced by the restaurant hostess, who possessed all the self-confidence and stage presence of a third grader ner-vously announcing a Christmas play. Her preparation did not even include learning the name of the group she was to introduce! (She had to obviously refer to her note card after an uncomfortable pause). Such behavior may be tolerable for a third grader, but is absolutely inexcusable for the emcee of a sppper club. This disrespect for the perfor-mance was shared by the waitresses as well. For some unknown reason they found it necessary to bus the dishes during the performance. Judging by the fact that there were no programs and our menu suggested non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy during the "inspirational concert" I would say that Herald's was unprepared, at least, to host a dramatic presentation. While Herald's may be a God-send for Christians in Edina, I would still recommend the Royal Oak Room and the experimental theatre for Bethel College students. Lynn Erickson, from Chisholm, Minn., will be presenting her senior trumpet recital Monday, March 8 at 8 p.m. in the Bethel Seminary chapel. Lynn is a senior music ma-jor and is studying with Charles Schlueter, prin-cipal trumpet of the Min-nesota Orchestra. Program selections in-clude pieces by Honneger, Hindemith, Scarlatti and Hummel. The music department extends an invitation to the Bethel community to at-tend this recital and also the reception following. There is no admission charge. debate Debate team despite stiff by David Terpstra Amid some tough competition this past weekend, the Bethel College debate team placed fourth out of 46 schools compet-ing at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. The novice, junior, and varsity squads all went 3-3 in their individual team efforts. David Lee, the debate advisor, remarked that "the main problem was the tough competition we en-countered at this meet." He fur-ther stressed that Bethel does have "some really good peo-ple. But when we run up against the various large universities, the competition becomes more diffi-cult." Individually, two persons did very well. Ira King placed second in oratory and fourth in oral inter-pretation, while Pam Linamen missed the finals by one point. places fourth competition Their advisor seems optimistic re-garding the team's chances in fu-ture competition. The team basically uses two techniques in their practice ses-sions. One method includes hold-ing practice debate rounds while the coaches offer advice and feed-back to them. The second method is where the individual teams take their proposals and look at them from the opposite team's stand-point, thereby gaining fresh in-sight into the issue. This weekend, the debate team will compete at the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater. Later on. Coach Bill Fraatz and team Scott Larson-Mike Emerson will go to the University of Southern Connecticut. After that, the district competition begins the third week in March, and the na-tionals begin the first week in April.

Two of them, se-niors Gail Anderson, a 5'6" guard/forward from Shell Rock, and Cindy "C.M." Martin, a 5'7" forward from Lisbon, re-flected recently on their past four years on the squad at Bethel. Bethel ended this competitive season with an 11-7, record. Gail was the scrapper on the squad this season driving to the basket on several occasions and came up with several steals on defense. She probably handled the ball more than anyone. "This season I worked a lot on driving and my outside shot," she said. Cindy, known as "C.M.", end-ed up as one of the Royals' leading scorers, in spite of her ill-ness and injuries through part of this season. "Kathy (the coach) always told us that it can be done and you can do it, so I always tried to remem-ber that when I was in the game," she said. Both acknowledged that they have greatly enjoyed the unity of the team. Gail said, "In four years of col-lege ball I've experienced a spe-cial unity on the team; the kind we all have in Christ. There's been a real sense of caring among individuals." "I've learned that I can't do it myself—I need to rely on Christ," said Cindy. continued from page 4 three sides, or a fair ground across the street?" he asked. The BNO says Crystal Springs, Miss., and San Jose, Calif. are residential sites similar to Falcon Heights, with houses across the street. Baldwin adds that the Falcon Heights community is really only 50 per cent residential by area, and lists the businesses in a one-mile radius: "A major university campus, three shopping centers, an enormous housing develop-ment for students, five warehouses, a bus garage, a ma-jor railroad switching yard, experimental farmland, and two golf courses. That's not residen-tial." The coalition says the business-es that now exist will suffer. "Lido's" has threatened to relocate if the center moves in, they claim, and inferior businesses such as a foosball arcade will cater to juveniles. Prospective home-buyers have shied away, also, because of the imminent new in-stitution. The BNO says the coaltion has brought these penalties upon themselves through scare tactics such as a circular that begins, "If you have a weak heart, don't read on. The two groups have never had head-on exchange. Rush feels the coalition disbelieves any sources of information except themselves (including Bethel and the Labor Department), and that negates at-tempts at open-minded discus-sion. "We don't have the right to pro-tect our investments, whether they be businesses or our homes, at the cost of suppressing other people," said Baldwin. "That's the cost of civilization," he added. "This isn't Black Dtick, Minn.; it's St. Paul. This is a big city, and a big city needs to use all it's resources to help it's people. We have that resource." Institute seminar seeks to promote growth in maturity A group of 1100, primarily composed of students, will attend the month-long 1978 Institute on Discipleship and Apologetics this summer. The institute, featuring some of the nation's leading spokesmen on the vital subjects of Christian disciple building and apoligetics, will be held at Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, June 11 - July 8. The objective of the con-ference is to balance an understanding of the certainty of Christian truth with an orderly and loving approach to making disciples. It seeks to promote growth in maturity and knowledge while helping Chris-tians give intellectual answers in love. Participants include noted theologian Carl F.H. Henry and Professors Roger Nicole of Gordon-Conwell Seminary; Gary Collins and Norman Geisler of Trintiy Evangelical Divintiy School, Howard Hendricks of Dallas Seminary and Donald Chit-tick of George Fox College. Jim Williams of Probe Ministries, Josh McDowell of Campus Crusade, Ray Stedman of Peninsula Bible Church, Palo Alto, CA and Carl W.

"Sugar Ray" Miller was once again high-point man for the Royals with 16, and junior guard Greg Peterson had his highest scoring game of the season with 14.

The four-week conference is divided into two-week segments, each stressing the dual theme of personal discipleship and disciple building and biblical apologetics. The format is geared for students, seminarians, pastors then the Royals again began to turn on and closed the gap to three with just over two minutes to go in the first half. The Royals were plagued by turnovers in the second half and were down quickly by nine. The Tommies man-to-man defense coupled with some sparkling fast breaks built the lead to 13 about midway through the half. No one fouled out in the con-test, but the Royals were whistled for 17 team fouls to St. Thomas' 10. Tommies' Coach Tom Feely, now in his 24th season, said, "Our four corner and diamond of-fense opened things up and when our guards got our fast break going, that broke the game open and lay workers, with three semester-hours of credit being of-fered by the university.

St. Thomas has high hopes for the post-season playoffs, but Coach Feely thought it would be unlikely to catch St. John's for the MIAC title.

The tip-off time is 3 p.m. "Bethel has a nice shooting ball club and they'll give us prob-lems when we go over there," said Coach Feely.

Pre-season favorite 'Probes' remains undefeated in IM action Hockey club drops season finale to St. Olaf, 6-4 by Steve Erickson Bethel ended its hockey season last Friday on a sour note, falling to St. Olaf 6-4. The club finished with a 10-8 mark. The game was a physical one, with each team spending its share of time in the penalty box. St. Olaf incurred 40 minutes of penalties while Bethel had 30. St. Olaf broke the game open with a pair of goals midway through the second period. Bill Lynch knocked in a rebound at 12:00. Ninety seconds later Dave Ario stole the puck and drilled it past goalie George Fraser to make it 4-2 St. Olaf. Ario had four goals for the night. Gregg Correll narrowed the score to 4-3 on a shot from the slot. Two more goals by Ario and one by Bethel's Tom Correll finished the scoring. Tom Correll led the Royals with two goals and one assist. Bethel, outshot 32-26, was not as deep as St. Olaf, thus, tiring more easily. Bethel Coach Dave Harris said, "We had a lot of penalties so our first line was on the ice a .lot, killing them." "We just didn't have the kind of shots we needed in the end. We couldn't catch up," said Coach Harris. For the season, Tom Correll was the leading scorer. He tallied 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points. Fred Hage had 17 goals and 3 assists. Third leading scorer was John Selvog who was credited with 7 goals and 10 assists.

There were eleven teams in the broomball league. According to Dana Olson, broomball was the highlight of interim. The Family, Brad Nelson's team, won the league, followed by freshman Molly Whiteneck's team, The Washling Festivalers. The Butchers, led by Steve Fredine, senior, were third. For those who have no idea what broomball is all about, here is a brief description. Broomball is a game played on ice, and is similar to hockey. The object of the game is to get a deflated volleyball into the opponent's goal, using a broom. Broomball players wear regular shoes or special broomball shoes. The Family won nine out of ten games and tied one with the Icebreakers. The team also had the league's highest scorer, sophomore Peter Nelson. He scored 10 goals. Brad, a junior, said they had by Lisa Mills Senior Dave Clapp took sixth in the nation in the 1,000-yard run at the NAIA indoor championships last Friday in Kansas City. His time was 2:18.6. Clapp became the first Bethel student to make it through finals at a national level. There were originally 27 running in the 1,000, and after three qualifying heats only eight made it to the finals. successful team because of their goalie Paul Jepsen, junior, and also because of their "determined defense and aggressive offense." He also praised the girls on his team for not being afraid of being aggressive. "Val Pasma and Karen Stake had the most color-ful knees," he said, refering to their bruises. He also -com-mended Greg Peterson and Bill Ostlund, both juniors, for their contribution of goals. Bill had a hat trick (three goals) on the first game of the season. Brad thinks his team did well this year, but "we're going to win them all next season," he declared confidently. The Butchers beat The Curls three to two, on Thursday, Jan. 23. It was the last game of the season and was played with the lights out. Paul Johnson, captain of The Curls, thinks his team lost because. they could not see pro-perly. Not everyone wins. An irate Stu Johnson challenges humble Brad Nelson to a one to one match with a toothpick and a life s,.ver. Clapp had the third fastest time going into the final heat. Curt Brown, also a senior, made it to the quarter finals in the 600-yard run. Jim Timp and Nate Allen also competed, running in the mile and 440-yard run respec-tively. The top three winners will be named All-American, and fourth, fifth, and sixth runners are con-sidered All-American honorable mention. Clapp finishes sixth in NAIA indoor track finals

THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 17 March 3, 1978 Council rules in favor of Bethel rezoning by G.W. Smith The Arden Hills Village Coun-cil ruled last Monday, Feb. 27, in favor of rezoning the entire Bethel campus from R-1 (residen-tial) to LB (light business), an im-portant step in meeting Bethel's building needs. That action of the council strengthened hopes of Bethel ad-ministrators that two new dor-mitories will be completed on the Arden Hills campus in time for occupation in the fall. With the college now rezoned as a light business, Bethel ad-ministrators will appear before the council on March 6 to apply for building permits, receiving final recommendation from the council on March 13. Administrators will begin tak-ing bids on March 14 for con-struction of the two dormitories and according to Dave Lissner, director of community relations, construction will begin shortly thereafter. Originally five dormitories were planned for occupation next fall, but the lengthy litigation of Northwestern College with Arden Hills caused Bethel administrators to await the outcome of the trial before applying for the required building permits. According to Dr. Carl H. Lund-quist, president of Bethel College, Bethel awaited the outcome of that trial, "lest action at Bethel prejudice the case there." J. Jerome Plunkett, Ramsey County District Court Judge presiding in the case between Northwestern College and Arden Hills, delivered his decision on Thursday, Feb. 16, and ruled in favor of the City of Arden Hills. In the legal opinion issued detailing his decision, Judge Plunkett ruled that Zoning Or-dinance No. 99 limits private col-leges to location in limited business districts. "In effect this means that the plaintiff's property (Northwestern College) is a non-conforming use. It may continue to exist in Arden Hills but it may not enlarge or ex-pand its facility," said the opinion issued by Judge Plunkett. When asked regarding the im-plications of his decision with referal to a recent precedent set in previous cases of this nature, Judge Plunkett denied any knowledge of such a precedent. William J. Hempel, the at-torney representing Northwestern College in the case, stated that it was that precedent which formed a major portion of their case. Director of Public Affairs at Northwestern College, Gene Kor-dick, responded to the judge's decision with disappointment. "We will appeal that ruling," said Kordick, "and beyond that we will study other ways and means to achieve our objectives." In response to the judge's rul-ing, President Lundquist issued a statement to the Bethel communi-ty. "In our judgement," wrote Lundquist, "the decision has serious implications for the entire educational community in Min-nesota." As a result of Judge Plunkett's decision, Bethel administrators sought rezoning from residential to light business in order to obtain necessary building permits. According to President Lund-quist, "In the light of the adverse ruling we will need to make this zoning adjustment in order to keep our building program mov-ing." In the coucil meeting on Mon-day, thirty minutes of discussion preceded the 4-1 vote which granted Bethel zoning. Councilman James Wingert questioned the "potential for a loss of control" should Bethel be by Terri Hanson Every year during March, Bethel seniors are required to take a test in their area of concen-tration. The test "measures the academic ability and achievement of college students against com-parable national standards." It consists of multiple choice questions covering anything in that particular area of concentra-tion. Karen Hauck, from testing and psychological services said, "The test is completely com-prehensive. The authors cover everything they think is impor-tant." According to Dr. Tricia Brownlee, assistant to the dean, the tests are given to see how each department's graduates are stack-ing up against other college graduates in that same field na-tionally. The results from the tests help the administration see which departments need to be "beefed up," or where Bethel's weak points are and then begin work on them. "The tests are a good measur-ing device for the students," said Karen Hauck. "It helps them determine how much they know—or don't know—about rezoned to LB. Councilman Ward M. Hanson replied, "The opinion of the public is that Bethel is no pro-blem." Hanson also said that he has not yet heard a voice speak against Bethel College. continued on page 2 their particular area of concentra-tion. The tests do not, however, help the student get into graduate school or get a job." Not all the departments have such tests, among those that do not are: anthropology, art, Bible, drama, social work, speech or special programs. Any senior con-centrating in any of those depart-ments is exempt from the testing. Apparently, every year without fail, several seniors protest against the tests saying that nowhere in the Bethel catalogue did it list the tests as a general re-quirement for a B.A. Unfor-tunately, the requirement was mistakenly left out of the present catalogue. The dean's office, however, is presently working on a new catalogue that will list the test as general requirement for a B.A. It will read like this: "Comprehen-sive exam in the concentration area during the senior year. Field tests of the. Undergraduate Asses-ment Program are used." This year the tests will be given Mon. March 13 through Wed. March 15. All participating seniors should have received notes regarding the test in their post office box. Senior concentration exams compare national standards Letter to the Editor Reps refute Clarion criticisms council ruling continued from page 1 Wingert seemed to consent and said, "It seems to be the ex-peditious way to go to rezone and perhaps the only way to go." He added, "I have no desire to delay rezoning." Councilman Charles Creighton voiced his discontentment with the application before the coun-cil. "I cannot in good conscience rezone that area as light business." Then Councilman Robert Woodburn moved to table the motion, an action which would have further postponed progress on the two dormitories. After a long moment of tense, deafening silence, the mayor moved that the motion to table the issue died for want of a se-cond. A vote was then taken and Bethel received rezoning. Another issue still at large relates to the looming threat of a trade strike. According to Lissner, this is the year for trade unions to settle contracts. "Historically," said Lissner, "this has not been settled without a strike." Lissner also mentioned that the trade unions may take their cue from the coal miner's strike. According to Burton Wessman, vice president of business affairs, the old campus sale was finalized on Feb. 7, a situation requiring additional housing. While the future of the dor-mitories seems skeptical, Director of Student Affairs, Mack Net-tleton is reassuring. According to Nettleton, in the event that a trade strike should prevent Bethel from completing the building of two new dormitories, the student affairs office has already made contingency plans. The administration has con-sidered purchasing apartments as well as the possibility of leasing apartments from Nob Hill. "I'm confident," said Nettleton, "that we'll have good housing op-tions for Bethel students next year." Dear editor, It is ironic to us that as a Bethel student of four years your editorial of last week criticizing student representation at Bethel lacked adequate and accurate in-formation in several respects. First of all, to infer that Student Senate is the only avenue of stu-dent representation ignores the existence of student-faculty com-mittees on which students sit side-by- side faculty members in deter-mining many important school policies. Furthermore, it is somewhat frustrating and discouraging that you are crying for adequate representation for a student body that submitted hardly enough ap-plications to fill those committee positions, in spite of the fact that students do play your advocated "voter" role on these committees, unlike any colleges of which we are aware. Even though there was a good deal of publicity on the commit-tee openings last fall, we actually had to recruit to get the positions filled. Your barely nominal approval of the impact of the $10 social fee was also interesting when in our opinion it (combined with very competent Campus Coordinators) revolutionized the social program at Bethel—no small accomplish-ment in one year. You also ignored our major ef-forts with service day last fall; the foreign studies committee which is developing a foreign studies in-formation bank, and is working with two highly interested faculty members; and, our extensive lob-bying efforts to secure the sale of the old campus. Furthermore, to imply that the actions of the Public Action Com-mittee are insignificant shows a lack of informed understanding of the number of dedicated Senate hours put forth on something like the volleyball marathon. It is in-deed a shame that you discount the raising of $1000 for a Peruvian medical mission as a "worthwhile accomplishment." In fact, it was undoubtedly much better time spent than our bantering back and forth in Clar-ion columns, and will probably be remembered much longer than this week's Bethel Clarion. Your request for "major legislation" holds little if any water when you don't take the time and effort to engage in specificities, probably because you have none. To criticize thusly without any substance shows more a desire to create headlines and exciting reading than to pro-vide accurate and constructive editorialism. You claim also that "the ex-ecutive committee could have been more forceful by voicing student opinion." Do you care to enlighten us as to what the "stu-dent opinion" is regarding the fee structure? Our survey was return-ed by less than one-third of the students (which is better than usual). But regardless, in case you were unaware, the Senate did take a position at a meetng which was not attended by a Clarion writer or reported on in the Clarion. (Now, who's apathetic?) On Tuesday we discussed the Senate's position with Dean Brushaber, which essentially asks for a compromise. We also made very clear the mood of the stu-dent body in our discussion. But before we end this exciting rebuttal, we repeat that just as yourself, we were not apprecia-tive of the method in which the fee structure was "decreed." We had received assurances of stu-dent representation on a decision-making board. However, the administration has offered its apoligies which we are accepting. Hopefully, this event will make available a more viable Senate-administration channel. The discussions of recent weeks also proves to us the need for a representative student body organization. Why would there be so much furor if nobody cared or wanted a Student Senate? Tad Johnson Mark Carlson —editorial `Giving spirit' eludes SMP, despite $5 per capita ideal "Every man shall give as he is able, acording to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you." — Deut. 16:17 (NASB) This verse became more clear to us recently when it was reported in last week's Clarion that SMP has only been able to collect $4225 this school year. With only two-and-one-half months left in the present year, it seems that SMP will fall far short of their goal of $10,000. This $10,000 figure usually covers about a third of the cost that it takes to send out students on summer missionary projects. The remain-ing part of their support must come from individual contributors, chur-ches back home, or out of their own pockets. There is also the stipula-tion that these students return to Bethel the next fall in order to con-tinue the SMP program and to relate their experiences to other students at Bethel. If one were to divide this $10,000 figure among the 24 SMPers to go out this summer, it would equal a little less than $420 per member. That, of course, depends on whether SMP raises their full support figure. Nevertheless, $420 does not cover much of the cost that it takes to go to a foreign field. It may cover the air fare, but not much more. This is not the first time that SMP has faced a financial crisis so late in the year, but this year seems worse than most. The $10,000 giving figure has risen little if any over the past four years. When one considers the fact that Bethel has increased enrollment by over 350 students over the past four years, and still have a difficult time in raising the $10,000 figure, it shows the giving spirit at Bethel is lacking and even getting worse. When John Perkins came to Bethel last week, his appeal for funds was answered with a chapel collection of over $600, and many students were more than willing to start support groups for Voice of Calvary ministries. The object of this editorial will not be to decide which cause is more important — SMP or Voice of Calvary ministries. But it seems rather sad that a project so worthy as SMP finds it diffidult to drum up enought support on campus to raise $250 a chapel. Students who par-ticipate in SMP may not intend to be missionaries the rest of their lives, but the experience they rind may help them decide the path they wish to follow for the rest of their lives. If every student were to give equally to SMP over the year, they would have to give about 18 cents a chapel (based on giving one chapel a week, as the system now works) to meet the $10,000 figure. This would total about $5.40 per student for the entire year, a figure that most of us find easy to spend on a single meal at a nice restaurant. Since over $5500 remains to be collected, students must give about $3 over the remainder of the year. With this giving plan in mind SMP can reach their goal. Of course, this giving effort is not limited to students. Faculty, staff and administration can also have a part in this effort to send students to mission experiences. It does not take much effort to pass the SMP buckets during Friday chapel services. But isn't the extra effort of taking a dollar of 50 cents out of one's pocket worth the end result? We believe that the final pro-duct, a mission-oriented student, is well worth a $5 investment.

"Moods is a variety show with an overlapping theme," said one former producer. In the past, many themes have emerged to tie the various modes of music, theater, and art expression together creating a most enjoyable evening. Themes such as "Learning Moods," "In the Mood," and "Tell Tale Moods" have coordinated acts of dance, mime, gymnastics, ceramics, drama, music, readings, etc. to convey a single message. This year, the producer is Jeff Miller. Jeff is a former Bethel student who is currently teaching beginning acting here at Bethel. He's been planning this show since last summer, and his talent will be evident in this production of Norman Rockwell Moods, featuring over 100 scenes coordinated with corresponding one acts, music, dance. Dean Palermo arranged and directs the music of a twelve piece or-chestra especially for this occasion. We know you will not want to miss this very special event. The cost is only one dollar...A good chance to take that girl you've been eyeing to something really fun. You'll be sur-prised at how many of your friends are in the production! Bethel at Orchestra Hall: Ferrante and Teicher are coming to Or-chestra Hall.. This is not long hair music but a very entertaining, easy listening concert. These two men travel all over the world playing duel pianos featuring popular packages and show tunes as well as some all time favorites. After this concert, we guarantee you'll be avid Ferrante and Teicher lovers. Super seats at $5.00, regulary $6.50.

Dust blown off Senate's role, revealing new hope, old apathy by Suzi Wells Since the issue about the flat-rate tuition arose, students, in-cluding some senators, have ques-tioned the effectiveness of Stu-dent Senate. Opinions range from despair of senators (one of whom, Dan Erickson, resigned last week) to new hope in the credibility of Senate. Senate advisor, Wink Menser, believes that Senate is a viable channel to the administration Senate did take action last week on the flat-rate issue, and Mark Carlson, vice president of the Student Association, drew up a statement which accepted the fee structure with two qualifica-tions. These qualifications are: "ex-emption from the flat-fee... granted to petitioning students who demonstrate...absolute financial need for exemption," and also exemption from the fee for students "under non-financial aid extenuating circumstances." The validity of the latter qualifica-tion would be determined by a committee of faculty members, administrators and students. Senate approved the above proposal 14-3. Sophomore senator Steve Hoswell said that Senate does not represent the stu-dent body by its decision to ac-cept the fee structure, even with the qualifications. He wrote a bill, which Brad Lewis co-signed, requesting a meeting with Deans Brushaber and Nettleton "to discuss the possibility of a change in the pre-sent structure as to allow the Bethel Student Senate a more im-portant role in the policy decision making at Bethel." Brad commented about Se-nate's effectiveness, saying, "We can make suggestions and try to voice student opinion, but basically, we're just a sounding board." However, other senators do not feel that Senate is ineffective or merely a rubber stamp of the ad-ministration. "Compared to other schools, we have more input into the administration," said junior Stephen V. Anderson. Students at some other schools are not even able to talk to their deans, he pointed out. Wink said that Bethel has two representatives from Senate who attend the Board of Regents meetings. "They have the same input as the dean and president provided they take the initiative to make their views heard," he said. Neither the president or dean have voting power, so they are members ex-officio, as the student representatives are. Another way Bethel is unique from other schools in student in-put is in student-faculty commit-tees. Students on these commit-tees are able to have a voice in ad-ministrative decisions. Senate, however, is the official organization that is recognized by the administration as a liaison bet-ween students and administra-tors. Paul 8attige, junior senator, also feels Senate has been effec-tive in representing the students. "Senate has done what it could as far as representing the students to the administration," he said. He added that administrators have to "be open to us, and in the case of the flat fee structure, they were open too late," althOugh they are usually receptive to Senate ideas. Steve claimed that the flat fee issue actually has given Senate more credibility. "The input we have in the future will be greater," he said. The administration, he said, realizes the importance of Senate and student input through the flat fee issue. Tad Johnson and Mark Carl-son, president and vice president of the Student Assoication, ex-plained why they believe Senate has been effective this year. Ex-amples of its effectiveness ranged from the institution of the activity fee for the Campus Coordinators to Senate's involvement with the sale of old campus, which includ-ed writing letters, circulating petitons, and actually talking to the governor's aid. As far as Senate's effectiveness Coordination in representing the students, Mark said, "Student Senate has as much authority as the students want to give to it—we can't con-tinually be brainstorming." He added that one needed to be real-istic about Senate's purpose, which is not to be a power organization. "We don't have the final say (on major policy issues)," Mark noted. "Most things need ad-ministrative approval." However, the administration does not make decisions in regard to how the $40,000 budget alloted to Senate should be spent. According to Paul and Steve, students need to believe in the ef-fectiveness of Senate. They pointed out that they do their best to represent the student, and that students do not realize all the responsibilities of a senator. "Kids can't judge (Senate) not knowing what's going on," Steve said. It's hard, he claimed, to represent a student body which is basically apathetic. He and Paul encourage students to have an in-put by becoming involved on student-faculty committees, at-tending the senate meetings, and answering Senate surveys. Plus by Shelly Nielsen "Welcome to Bethel College. Thisisachristianlearningcom-munity. Bethelispeople. We're pleased you could visit us for a few hours today and hope, as parents of prospective students, you'll—Sir...yes, you with the tatoo...Put out that cigarette, please—enjoy this tour and orien-tation talk.

"Yes, Bethel offers numerous forms of social activity. Frankly, we've found that one of the hardest adjustments students must make is in this area of enter-tainment. "The outside world is a jungle.

Once they've experienced the treat of the 12:00 to 2:00 all-school skate they'll never lust after worldly allures again. "The rink is of the most respec-table located near campus. Its at-mosphere offers room for Chris-tian growth and will be an ex-cellent spiritual learning location for your son or daughter.

Women are expected to dress modestly. Hems, however, must be at least Ph" from the floor.

"Every personality has some form of expression at the roller skating rink. The romantic may enjoy the bold yet constructive impetuosity of an unrehearsed couples skate.

"For the more rebellious and carnal skater there's the therapeutic Snowball.

Uncertain skaters may choose to sit on the ledges during this event and look aloof but available. "After-skating socializing is unreproachably pure. Parents in-tent on finding suitable matches for their offspring will be relieved to hear that excepting only Nik Dag dates, more couples fall in love over early-morning plates of hash browns at the Flameburger. "To conclude this brief orienta-tion to Bethel, I'd like to talk with you for a moment about another important aspect of the college. Perhaps you've heard of flat rate tuition..." Page 3 by David Shelley Since the day Bethel allowed dating Bethel guys have lamented over the various excuses girls give for not going on a date (though only a minority of Bethel guys have experience from which to speak). Nevertheless, excuses are as time-honored a tradition as dating, and I consulted three female RAs who helped me compile a list of favorite excuses for not going on a date, so that girls may add them to their repertoire, and guys may develop striking comebacks. Here is the com-pilation: My RA told me not to date Bethel guys. I'm in a position right now where I wouldn't feel comfortable saying yes. I have to clean the scum out of the tub that night. I'm going to be sick. I have to wash my hair. I have to frost and tip my hair. I have to attend to each one of my split ends individually. I have the gift of celebacy. I haven't had my devotions yet. I have to refill my down vest. I just broke our mirror and decided to stay inside. I'm expecting a call from my mother. I'm expecting somebody else to ask me. I don't have any clean socks. It's against my religion. I thought dating' was against the Bethel lifestyle. All my ancestors went insane when they turned 23. I eat a lot. I turn into a pumpkin at midnight. I turn into a werewolf at midnight. I turn into a bore almost immediately. I'm on a steak and lobster diet. I'm reading "Asher Lev." Nobody ever asks me on a second date. I'm giving dating up for Lent. I already had a date this month. I have to practice my autoharp. Our townhouse is having a quilting bee. I'll have to ask my mother first. My mother told me never to go out with strangers and you're the strangest. I have to do my Sunday school lesson. I have to sit up with a sick friend. That's bath night. I'm not very fun to be with. You must have the wrong person. You're not very fun to be with. There are tornado warnings out. I'll go if you can get a date for my roommate. She's 5-foot-3 and 340 pounds, but she's tons of fun. My roommate has mono. I have mono. I hear rumors that you have mono. Dating hinders normal degree progress. I'm retaking the MMPI. I never go out on the first date.

"If you light a match, this com-munity would explode," said Dan Carlson, spokesman for the Como-Falcon Heights Communi-ty Coalition, Inc., an active group of Job Corps opponents. So begin the vastly different perceptions of two groups on one situation—a vocational school for - poor juvenile minority members, in a residential area. There are many other differences. The coalition is an incorpor-ated group of opponents seeking legal means to stop the center at Bethel. They are high-profile and vocal. The Bethel Neighborhood Organization is not incorporated and exists as an alternative. "We're not setting up two oppos-ing camps to fight it out," said BNO member Tom Rush. When the coalition makes a move, especially in publicity tac-tics, the BNO responds to counter information they call "inaccurate and not at all balanced by any stretch of the imagination." Safety is the key issue. Will it be safe? "Yes," says the BNO; "No," says the coalition. At the heart of those answers are differ-ent understandings of Job Corps students—who will they be? "The majority of the kids will be placed by the court," said Nord. The coalition feels Per-pich's demand to exclude felons is meaningless since a juvenile may commit felon acts that are not classified as such, citing cases where rape was excused as mis-conduct. However, Tom Rush of the BNO said 80 to 90 per cent of the students will have had only minor contact, or none, with the law. Felons who are admitted will have probably been convicted of car theft. "But a 17-year who's stolen a car once is not the same as a 45-year-old felon," said Baldwin, who teaches disaffected youths, Coalition member Donna Carlson, who has a degree in criminology, objects to the Job Corps from a professional stand-point. She believes the proposed ratio of staff and faculty to students will not be adequate. "If every kid were a felon, I could see that," said Baldwin. "But if less than 20 per cent have had serious contact with the law, 140 adults will be effective." Both groups have researched some of the 60 Job Corps Centers in other communities across the United States. The coalition said they haven't found one successful relationship between the neighbors and the 30 centers con-tacted. They've collected stacks of newspaper clippings reporting rapes, murders, and thefts. Other centers, they contend, are so rurally-situated there is no com-munity to affect. "Sure there are some pro-blems," said Rush, "out of 540,000 Job Corps students in the country, there may be 10 per cent who cause trouble. But there are a lot of good things happening." The BNO cites accounts of corps trainees helping in floods, playing with neighborhood child-ren, assisting senior citizens, but feels that a case by case exchange is not productive, and only clouds the issue, which they say is a moral one. "Coalition arguments are all smokescrrens for what is simple prejudice against poor or black juveniles," said Baldwin. "Saying that just because we can afford $50,000 homes we have a right to exclude people from our neigh-borhood is about as moral as the system where, if you were rich, you could buy your son out of the war." The Bethel Neighborhood Or-ganization says families around old campus should be "afforded every protective device," but shouldn't require "unnatural con-trols we can't enforce in the neighborhood now." "We have a lot of kids with juvenile records running around our neighborhood with less super-vision than there would be under Job Corps," said Baldwin. "The coalition is making unreasonable limits on the kinds of kids who can enroll. Pretty soon you end up excluding the people who need it most." , The coalition on the other hand feels it's clearly a legal issue. They claim negligence of Job Corps regulations in the applications procedure last May, a premature approval by Governor Perpich, and violation of residential zoning laws. They're demanding an envi-ronmental impact study, then court appeals if all else fails. Last week they were granted a temporary restraining order, when a Labor Department repre-sentative failed to defend the Corps' viability in the face of the coalition's objections. Coalition members feel duped by Governor Perpich, because of his unfulfilled promise to demon-strate a successful Job Corps in an identical neighborhood. He in-vited coalition members along on his search, but then went private-ly to Phoenix, where the Job Corps director advised him against situating a similar center in a residential area. Perpich, they claim, hushed up that advice. Shortly afterward, he approved the Job Corps. Rush thinks the coalition's de-mand for proof of a working Job Corps in an identical neighbor-hood is unrealistic and nebulous. "What is identical?

On Tuesday, March 7, the Health-Careers Committee is hosting a _banquet where profes-sionals will be on hand to answer questions about post-graduate training. The meal costs only $1.00 and starts at 5:30 p.m. Students will be seated according to their interests (pre-med, pre-- dent, pre-vet, med-tech,nursing). Dr. Gerald Needham, director of Mayo Medical School, will be giving the evening's address. Following Dr. Needham's remarks, students have the op-portunity to hear professionals discuss "What are the qualities of a professional in your field?" and "What are the qualities of a Chris-tian in your field?" A time of open questions for the professionals will follow the discussion. Bethel alumni who have ventured into these profes-sions have also been invited to come and share what they see as being important preparation. For more information concern-ing registration please contact either Tim Bont (341) or Mike Messer (1006). Certainly the time to be inform-ed is now.

David Lee is assistant professor of speech and head debate coach at Bethel. He is a doctoral candidate in organi-zational communications at the University of Minnesota. During the academic year 1968-69, Dave was student body president at Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash. A consultant in communi-cations for 3M Company and Honeywell, he conducts seminars for other local organizations on how to improve communication for both the good of the organi-zation and the individuals within it. The Clarion talked with Mr. Lee last week about Bethel's strengths and weaknesses in communication, with the recent flat fee decision as a point of departure. Clarion: What are some basic principles of good organizational communications? Lee: We could talk about them for several days. One basic func-tion of good communication is orientation—letting people know what's happening. In a college, the most important source of information for students is in-structors. To just dump a decision like that (the fee structure) on the college, with faculty members as uninformed, if not more so than students, is really a disservice to the institution. The administra-tors seem to show a definite lack of awareness of how to go about meeting that need. Clarion: Those are your senti-ments as a teacher here. What about your professional analysis of the way it was decided? Lee: I look at it in terms of it's effect on the organization. By that I mean the balance between the organization's need for growth and survival, and the individual's needs within the organization. There is a constant healthy ten-sion there. When you're dealing with important change, it's good policy to explore both sets of needs as thoroughly as possible. The communication policies of the college do not reflect a balance between the organizational needs and individual needs. Clarion: Is study of 'empirical data' a substitute for examining those personal needs you speak of? Lee: I can't imagine that those data are that conclusive. And I'd like to see when that data was collected, because increasingly the emphasis in higher education is on life-long study, career-development. A good friend of mine, Dr. Harold Miller, dean of continuing education at the University of Minnesota, is a fine Christian layman, and also a fine educa-tional administrator. Time after time in personal conversations, Dr. Miller says the movement of our future will certainly be con-tinuing life-long education. A question he poses to Chris-tian liberal arts colleges, as a Christian layman and as a pro-fessional administrator, is whether Christian institutions will look at those changes and adapt their programs accordingly. Based on what he says and reading I have done, it seems the move at Bethel is contrary to what is going to be the trend in higher education. I question it on that basis alone, in addition to the fact that I would doubt very much whether the evidence is con-clusively in favor of the full-time student. Clarion: The University of Min-nesota is going to a per credit billing system, isn't it? Is that to regain part-time students? Lee: I think they're interested in other kinds of issues. Bringing back the organization's vs. in-dividual needs, I've been com-plimentary of the fee structure at Bethel because it reflects concern for the individual student. This is the first college I've been where the fee structure has been oriented for the student. Another perspective I have is as debate coach. People who work intensively in our program are benefited greatly by being able to take only three courses. They spend from fifteen to thirty hours a week researching in the fall term. That will affect only four or five students, but students none-theless who are contributing in an effective way to the college program. Academically we've been put on the map by such programs the last three years. Now our de-baters are having to readjust their planning, perhaps cutting them out of our program because, when they'll have to pay full tuition, they can't afford to not work, and if they have to work, they don't have time for debate. Clarion: You mentioned orien-tation as an important function of good communication within an institution like Bethel. What's another? . Lee: Decision-making. Com-munication is basic to decision-making. Good decision-making in an organization will utilize a range of leadership styles some-where between autocratic and democratic. People in administration tend to think of those two extremes as the only options. Usually both are unacceptable. But between, there are other options available, parti-cularly persuasive, consultative, and participative. Clarion: What is persuasive decision-making? Lee: The administration would have fairly clearly in mind what they'd like to do; but before they'd implement the policy, they'd say, "Hey, this is what we'd like to do," and then try to persuade the relevant organi-zational members to going along with it. Last fall, Bethel's administra-tion could have done that with the new fee system—sent up a trial balloon, saying "We want to go this route, and here are the reasons we should." Then four months later, they could have decided whether their persuasion was successful. The policy's implementation is not contingent upon that success, but at least the agenda is clear. And neither are they saying "We're going to try to convince you, but will implement the change anyway." That would be autocratic, not persuasive. Clarion: What do you mean by `consultative' method of decision-making? Lee: That occurs when the administration has a specific pro-posal to make. It's taken to representative groups—student members, staff, and faculty—with a request: "This is the policy we'd like to change, and here's our proposal. Will you give us some feedback?" If I had been the dean I may not have wanted those groups to become committed to a certain policy. In that case I would have said, "After three months, give me two good options, quite different from one another, that might answer this problem." That's consultative, where I would set the agenda, clearly define my wishes, and give a couple months to work on it. Communication is still fairly con-trolled, but the agenda is open, and participation is permitted back and forth. Clarion: And finally, 'partici-pative?' Lee: Representatives from faculty, staff, and students actu-ally participate in the decision. If I were dean, I may come in advo-cating my option, but I'm also open to be persuaded myself. So it's really a participation back and forth even though I realize I must, because of the position I'm in, reserve the decision. I'm open with my agenda, wanting to get fully as much input as possible from you. We might talk about it two hours a week for the next several months. Then I take that input, combine it with that of other key administrators, and make the decision. But the groups involved at least know the considerations, are aware of the obstacles to the other options, and know why the chosen option is preferable. Clarion: There have been ele-ments of those methods in the flat-fee decision. There had been some input from student leaders; by Thangi Chhangte Currently, there are 24 legal aliens and approximately 53 mis-sionary kids (MKs) studying at Bethel. They are the ones that make up part of the International Students Association (I. S.A.). Mrs. Marilyn Bohne started the organization in 1970. Her aim was to help foreign students with im-migration, finances, and some-times, understanding professors. She was Bethel's first ISA advisor. In 1975, Mrs. Bohne left Bethel and Dr. David Sperry, professor of anthropology, became the next advisor. Then in 1976, William (Wink) Menser, dean of men, agreed to become an ISA advisor since Dr. Sperry was not able to. Officers are elected every year and they are responsible for organizing and planning ac-tivities. This year, Taye Bir-machu, sophomore, is the presi-dent of the association, and Steve Schwarze, junior, is the vice president. The other officers are: Lalrin-what about that? Lee: Let me say this: for good communication to occur in an organization, and to contribute to the morale of the organization's climate, communication must not only be open, it must also appear to be open. I'm not talking about faking it when it isn't actually occurring. I'm saying good com-munication must be visible to help either image—student's or administration's. Clarion: How can that be done? Lee: If the personal com-munication styles of key admini-strators make those people seem unapproachable, they need to build in mechanisms so they can get feedback. Some way that protects the source—either hav-ing it sent anonymously, or through some other person who represents the students or faculty. There should be a specific person, available and visible, for administrators to get that feed-back from, if they feel somewhat intimidated themselves. That's a problem for some administrators here, as it is in a way for all of us. But if you're in administration, you're in a more critical position. Clarion: What happens when an 'agenda' is supposedly esta-blished, as indicated by the deans' promise to provide time for student input on the flat fee, but is then canceled, and the decision accelerates from the infancy stage to finality? Lee: That's a legitimate ques-tion. In the infancy stages, you're trying to pose a good question. If that's the position they were in fine; they needed to make sure of a clear question to raise. But once that's formulated, you want to get people involved. If you set up a procedure whereby people get used to participating, they don't puii Chhangte, secretary and treasurer; Karen Swanson, social chairman. Wink Menser is the ISA adviser this year, also. ISAers meet about once or twice a month to share foods, music and slides of foreign coun-tries. They also have a gym night once every month. And in winter, ISAers go sliding and inner-tubing on Mt. Zion. Once every year, the ISA hosts a banquet which is also open to the public. This year's banquet was held on Feb. 3, and tickets respond with panic or shock when something is initiated. Clarion: Does it seem to you that the administration lacks built-in challengers; are there too many `yes-men?' Lee: My dissertation is in organizational conflict, and one thing is very clear—conflict is a healthy and good source of input and stimulus for the organization if handled and managed properly. The problem is that many people in positions of administration are not trained at all in managing conflict, keeping it at a positive level. I would be very careful in attributing a negative motive to someone's actions, but would instead presume that it grows primarily out of ignorance, an ignorance of what good organi-zational policy is. Clarion: You were impressed with Carter's campaign because of his built in advisors whom he knew would conflict with his opinions, weren't you? Lee: And I think you can build in either consultative, or more preferable, participative man-agement, that will allow you to examine all the alternatives as thoroughly as possible, and the various costs and benefits. Dean Brushaber does send out what he calls "trial balloons." I have a list of thirty from last fall. Some we haven't followed through on, others we've dis-cussed. Clarion: How is that method inadequate? Lee: I don't think it is. But they aren't sent out on critical matters. I think they're sent out on rather peripheral matters, and matters relative to the faculty, but not to the students. were sold out a week before. The theme for the evening was "Praise the Lord All Ye Lands." Another banquet will be held on March 11, due to popular de-mand. The program will be similar to the first banquet, but the menu will be different. Tickets are three dollars for students and $3.50 for adults.

Now, thanks to Herald's Christian Supper Club, it isn't that way anymore. On New Year's Eve, opening night, club owner Harold Vogel had to turn away over 100 would-be customers. It seemed obvious then, that a supper club of this kind was just what suburban evangelicals were waiting for. Herald's is one of but a handful of Christian supper clubs in America. Its uniqueness was underscored recently by NBC television, which found the idea of a Christian supper club newsworthy enough to be featured on the Today Show. The food at Herald's is certain-ly worthy of at least local recogni-tion. The featured item, which was supposed to be thinly sliced beef, was really a generous slice of top grade sirloin covered with a delectable mixture of mushrooms, onions and other vegetables. The filet mignon, while at least two ounces smaller than other supper club's filets, is as savory as any. Both meats were broiled precisely to order and the service was prompt and courteous. "The Fable of the Brementown Four," a play written by Doug Briggs and performed by members of "In the Spirit Ministries" was the entertainment for the evening. The play has been performed at various chur-ches in the area over the past few years, however, the performance at Herald's was the first in over 14 months. The players were vivacious and exciting and their movements were precise. The songs that the players sang before and after the show were well done and the selection was appropriate. Viewed separately, both the dinner and the performance would gain the approval of any guest, but the synthesis of the two was indeed poor. The play was introduced by the restaurant hostess, who possessed all the self-confidence and stage presence of a third grader ner-vously announcing a Christmas play. Her preparation did not even include learning the name of the group she was to introduce! (She had to obviously refer to her note card after an uncomfortable pause). Such behavior may be tolerable for a third grader, but is absolutely inexcusable for the emcee of a sppper club. This disrespect for the perfor-mance was shared by the waitresses as well. For some unknown reason they found it necessary to bus the dishes during the performance. Judging by the fact that there were no programs and our menu suggested non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy during the "inspirational concert" I would say that Herald's was unprepared, at least, to host a dramatic presentation. While Herald's may be a God-send for Christians in Edina, I would still recommend the Royal Oak Room and the experimental theatre for Bethel College students. Lynn Erickson, from Chisholm, Minn., will be presenting her senior trumpet recital Monday, March 8 at 8 p.m. in the Bethel Seminary chapel. Lynn is a senior music ma-jor and is studying with Charles Schlueter, prin-cipal trumpet of the Min-nesota Orchestra. Program selections in-clude pieces by Honneger, Hindemith, Scarlatti and Hummel. The music department extends an invitation to the Bethel community to at-tend this recital and also the reception following. There is no admission charge. debate Debate team despite stiff by David Terpstra Amid some tough competition this past weekend, the Bethel College debate team placed fourth out of 46 schools compet-ing at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. The novice, junior, and varsity squads all went 3-3 in their individual team efforts. David Lee, the debate advisor, remarked that "the main problem was the tough competition we en-countered at this meet." He fur-ther stressed that Bethel does have "some really good peo-ple. But when we run up against the various large universities, the competition becomes more diffi-cult." Individually, two persons did very well. Ira King placed second in oratory and fourth in oral inter-pretation, while Pam Linamen missed the finals by one point. places fourth competition Their advisor seems optimistic re-garding the team's chances in fu-ture competition. The team basically uses two techniques in their practice ses-sions. One method includes hold-ing practice debate rounds while the coaches offer advice and feed-back to them. The second method is where the individual teams take their proposals and look at them from the opposite team's stand-point, thereby gaining fresh in-sight into the issue. This weekend, the debate team will compete at the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater. Later on. Coach Bill Fraatz and team Scott Larson-Mike Emerson will go to the University of Southern Connecticut. After that, the district competition begins the third week in March, and the na-tionals begin the first week in April.

Two of them, se-niors Gail Anderson, a 5'6" guard/forward from Shell Rock, and Cindy "C.M." Martin, a 5'7" forward from Lisbon, re-flected recently on their past four years on the squad at Bethel. Bethel ended this competitive season with an 11-7, record. Gail was the scrapper on the squad this season driving to the basket on several occasions and came up with several steals on defense. She probably handled the ball more than anyone. "This season I worked a lot on driving and my outside shot," she said. Cindy, known as "C.M.", end-ed up as one of the Royals' leading scorers, in spite of her ill-ness and injuries through part of this season. "Kathy (the coach) always told us that it can be done and you can do it, so I always tried to remem-ber that when I was in the game," she said. Both acknowledged that they have greatly enjoyed the unity of the team. Gail said, "In four years of col-lege ball I've experienced a spe-cial unity on the team; the kind we all have in Christ. There's been a real sense of caring among individuals." "I've learned that I can't do it myself—I need to rely on Christ," said Cindy. continued from page 4 three sides, or a fair ground across the street?" he asked. The BNO says Crystal Springs, Miss., and San Jose, Calif. are residential sites similar to Falcon Heights, with houses across the street. Baldwin adds that the Falcon Heights community is really only 50 per cent residential by area, and lists the businesses in a one-mile radius: "A major university campus, three shopping centers, an enormous housing develop-ment for students, five warehouses, a bus garage, a ma-jor railroad switching yard, experimental farmland, and two golf courses. That's not residen-tial." The coalition says the business-es that now exist will suffer. "Lido's" has threatened to relocate if the center moves in, they claim, and inferior businesses such as a foosball arcade will cater to juveniles. Prospective home-buyers have shied away, also, because of the imminent new in-stitution. The BNO says the coaltion has brought these penalties upon themselves through scare tactics such as a circular that begins, "If you have a weak heart, don't read on. The two groups have never had head-on exchange. Rush feels the coalition disbelieves any sources of information except themselves (including Bethel and the Labor Department), and that negates at-tempts at open-minded discus-sion. "We don't have the right to pro-tect our investments, whether they be businesses or our homes, at the cost of suppressing other people," said Baldwin. "That's the cost of civilization," he added. "This isn't Black Dtick, Minn.; it's St. Paul. This is a big city, and a big city needs to use all it's resources to help it's people. We have that resource." Institute seminar seeks to promote growth in maturity A group of 1100, primarily composed of students, will attend the month-long 1978 Institute on Discipleship and Apologetics this summer. The institute, featuring some of the nation's leading spokesmen on the vital subjects of Christian disciple building and apoligetics, will be held at Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, June 11 - July 8. The objective of the con-ference is to balance an understanding of the certainty of Christian truth with an orderly and loving approach to making disciples. It seeks to promote growth in maturity and knowledge while helping Chris-tians give intellectual answers in love. Participants include noted theologian Carl F.H. Henry and Professors Roger Nicole of Gordon-Conwell Seminary; Gary Collins and Norman Geisler of Trintiy Evangelical Divintiy School, Howard Hendricks of Dallas Seminary and Donald Chit-tick of George Fox College.

"Sugar Ray" Miller was once again high-point man for the Royals with 16, and junior guard Greg Peterson had his highest scoring game of the season with 14.

Pre-season favorite 'Probes' remains undefeated in IM action Hockey club drops season finale to St. Olaf, 6-4 by Steve Erickson Bethel ended its hockey season last Friday on a sour note, falling to St. Olaf 6-4. The club finished with a 10-8 mark. The game was a physical one, with each team spending its share of time in the penalty box. St. Olaf incurred 40 minutes of penalties while Bethel had 30. St. Olaf broke the game open with a pair of goals midway through the second period. Bill Lynch knocked in a rebound at 12:00. Ninety seconds later Dave Ario stole the puck and drilled it past goalie George Fraser to make it 4-2 St. Olaf. Ario had four goals for the night. Gregg Correll narrowed the score to 4-3 on a shot from the slot. Two more goals by Ario and one by Bethel's Tom Correll finished the scoring. Tom Correll led the Royals with two goals and one assist. Bethel, outshot 32-26, was not as deep as St. Olaf, thus, tiring more easily. Bethel Coach Dave Harris said, "We had a lot of penalties so our first line was on the ice a .lot, killing them." "We just didn't have the kind of shots we needed in the end. We couldn't catch up," said Coach Harris. For the season, Tom Correll was the leading scorer. He tallied 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points. Fred Hage had 17 goals and 3 assists. Third leading scorer was John Selvog who was credited with 7 goals and 10 assists.

There were eleven teams in the broomball league. According to Dana Olson, broomball was the highlight of interim. The Family, Brad Nelson's team, won the league, followed by freshman Molly Whiteneck's team, The Washling Festivalers. The Butchers, led by Steve Fredine, senior, were third. For those who have no idea what broomball is all about, here is a brief description. Broomball is a game played on ice, and is similar to hockey. The object of the game is to get a deflated volleyball into the opponent's goal, using a broom. Broomball players wear regular shoes or special broomball shoes. The Family won nine out of ten games and tied one with the Icebreakers. The team also had the league's highest scorer, sophomore Peter Nelson. He scored 10 goals.
