THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 15 February 17, 1978 Exchange reveals chief premise of flat-fee structure: New structure encourages fuldme 'moder student Last Monday afternoon about 150 students filled the AC Lounge floor and gallery to meet with academic Dean George Brusha-ber and Student Affairs Director Mack Nettleton. The issue: the proposed flat fee tuition struc-ture. The questions: twenty for-mally designed and submitted by the Student Senate, others posed singly from the floor. At one point, Dean Brushaber summarized his expectations of the Senate-sponsored forum: "Frankly, I've been troubled by conversations with some people who have been so determined to discover flaws with the compre-hensive fee, have been so on the offensive against it that they've latched onto arguments both good and bad. It's my hope that through the forum we can discri-minate between the good and bad arguments, recognizing that for some people there will be difficul-ties with the flat fee; recognizing that and attempting to ameliorate those problems while at the same time coming to a clearer under-standing about some things that are not problems." The following is a transcription of that two-hour process, derived from a recording the Clarion made. It is condensed, but true to the intentions of those asking and answering the questions. Will a student lose eligibility for financial aid under the pro-posed 4-1-2 alternative? Brushaber: Bethel distributed aid and federal distributed aid will not be reduced for those students enrolled on a 4-1-2. Minnesota state law requires that students take at least 3 courses in order to receive the aid. So the student who is enrolled on the 4-1-2 will receive state aid for the fall, but for the two spring courses he or she would not receive aid. How-ever, he or she would not lose eligibility for that semester of aid at some other point. Will the flat fee cause students to arrange their studies around fi-nances instead of around curricu-lum? Brushaber: That's one of the same arguments that was used against the per course billing.... Regardless of the curriculum plan or the billing plan you're under I expect that finances become a consideration. Will we lose our part-time stu-dents, and is that good? Nettleton: I don't think it will cause us to lose those students. It is not desirable that we lose them, but we don't build the fee structure or the curriculum a-round the exceptions to the rule. We design them to fit the model. Brushaber: Empirical research done in colleges around the country, suggests that students mature better, 'get it together' better, when they have alternate periods of full-time study in residence alternating with full-time periods of traveling abroad, full-time work, or study at anoth-er institution. There is not as much likelihood you will grow and mature to the maximum if you are dividing your time in a menial part-time job, doing minimal work in an academic assignment. Frankly, we are interested in encouraging enrollment patterns of full-time study, and if work is necessary, full-time work, when you are able to earn more, when you will be able to build relation-ships which can be used to secure permanent employment upon graduation. Under the flat-fee system, a student carrying a full load (9 courses) can save $130 over four years, but is this worth the change? Nettleton: A better argument would be 'if it cost $130 or $250 more, would the increased costs be warranted?' In our opinion, the comprehensive fee is a better system. The fact that it saves $130 over four years is not the convincing argument. That hap-pens to be a fringe benefit. Does the flat-fee. eacouraaina students to go full time or 'stop out' ignore those taking a sequen-tial curriculum, such as physics? Nettleton: The suggestion that people can stop out for a term is not the principle on which the fee structure is based, but merely an alternative for people who want to carry reduced loads. For the person having sequential courses, they could perhaps carry a dif-ferent kind of sequence, 4-1-2 for example, where the two spring courses are sequential. Still, tak-ing that pattern would reduce their total costs. Brushaber: Next fall we will move more fully into a pattern where we will have courses in sequence beginning both in the fall and in the spring, at least in those courses -where we've been offer-ing three, four, or five sections anyway. May the new system discriminate against persons financially inca-pable of enrolling full-time? Nettleton: I'm sure you can find cases where it would and I think you can find cases where it would not. It's very possible to demon-strate the financial advantage is clearly with people who take The sale of old campus was finalized on Feb. 9, regardless of the legal suit outcome, when a representative of the Department of Labor visited the campus to make official payment of funds. The campus was sold for a reported $1.82 million, which, according to the agreement be-tween Bethel and the Department of Labor, will be increased by more than $100,000 by the sale of furnishings ($40,000), payment of all utilities from Dec. 23 to June 1, and advance payment in full even though the dormitories will be occupied through commence-ment. "The interest this earned, to-gether with payments, will gross approximately $1.925 million," stated a release from the presi-dent's office. The release also stated that half of the $1.925 million will be used to retire obli-advantage of the new system; who carry full loads and perhaps alternate with periods of full-time work. You can also demonstrate that a person is far ahead in completing their degree early, even if they have to borrow money to do it, get into the labor force earlier and become full-time employees earlier. WM the flat-fee discourage extra-curricular involvement? Nettleton: I hope not. (Audience laughter). Your response to that indicates you don't understand the genesis of my hope: Student Affairs office builds its whole program around encouraging stu-dents to be involved in non-class-room activities. On the other hand, we don't want to encourage students to come to Bethel as part-time students and full-time extra-curricular participants. Co-curricular models encourage full-time students being involved in these activities. If the focus on the Christian service, athletic, or stu-dent government activities has become so strong that you can't carry a full load too, the focus is wrong. continued on page 2 gations on the old campus and the other half to provide advance funding for replacing the dormi-tories on new campus. On the other end of the scale, the old campus neighbors are still fighting a legal battle to stop the Job Corps from entering the Snelling Ave. campus. Ron Rich, the attorney representing the neighborhood opposition group, is the man who knows the direc-tion of the impending legal battle. Unfortunately, Rich gives no in-formation free of charge. Tom Nord, one of the members of the Como-Falcon Heights Community Coalition, Inc., stat-ed that the suit will go to court later this month. At this time the presiding judge will set a trial date for the suit to begin. Bob Moder, a leader of the coalition, said, "We'll fight for all we're worth to keep the Job Corps out of here."

One may (or may not) remember that during the course of Gulliver's stay on the island of the "little people," he was attacked with a barrage of toothpick-sized arrows. The story makes the irony clear: thousands of midgets, no larger than Gulliver's earlobe, shooting arrows which were no longer than their arms. They must have felt a great camaraderie, a sense of accomplish-ment. In fact they must have thought it quite a noble thing to contribute to the destruction of such a very large giant. All the while, Gulliver was brushing off their arrows, laughing off their offensive, much in the same way a ticklish person squirms and squeels, "Eek, don't do that." There is a portion of the Bethel student body that is, in the light of the flat fee proposal, reacting much like a herd of scared pygmies in the face of a friendly giant. To a pygmy, there is no such thing as a friendly giant. In making the administration out to be "student well-being enemy number one," they are taking shots in the dark out of a state of panic. This does little for their own cause and only widens the attitudinal gap between "them and us." Instead of running panic-stricken in the face of the flat-fee giant, we would do well to move more cautiously when considering the situation. Students are labeling the new fee structure as "bad" because it is a big change, much as the little people assumed Gulliver to be a foe, seeing that he was indeed a big giant. It would be a great help to both the Bethel community and themselves if those students, who while away the hours formulating picky arguments against the flat fee structure, would more carefully consider their position, or at least that of the administration. This is not to say that all arguments against the new fee structure stand unfounded. But by presenting such a hoard of "my roommate who is a junior" type examples, the adversaries of the proposal are doing themselves a great disfavor—hiding many substantial and well-thought out objections behind a camouflage of poor reasoning. This, of course, takes place on both sides of the fence. The dean's list of ten advantages of the flat fee structure boils itself down to no more than two substantial arguments, which are only flavored by the sour spice of the remaining eight. This lump of unconsequential, insignificant advantages, and all the discussion that has circulated around each of them, has only obscured the precepts that the proposal is built on, and thus puts off any penetrating discussion. There is a sense in which we "loving evangelicals" also love a good fight. After all, we don't get a good fight all that often. I'm not making Bethel students out to be blood-thirsty warmongers, but rather as a group of growing intellects who are itching to stretch into "the real world." If we can't find time, or don't have the initiative to take part in issue of real consequence outside of our college community, then we jump at the opportunity to become involved with an issue that concerns us directly, inside our community. We all enjoy feeling important and getting upset. Being really concerned is one way of getting involved. To be vocal about these concerns is to satisfy that yearning to be a part of things. Although the proposed fee structure will drastically affect some students, the vast majority can afford to take themselves much less seriously in regards to this issue. By satisfying our urge to become involved and taking uncalculated, blind shots at the "flat fee giant," we are only bringing realization to our attitudes. We are turning him into an enemy that we don't really need. Mark Holmes editorial Deans respond to fee structure continued from page 1 Brushaber: The colleges where I have previously served have o-perated with flat fees and have had well-developed programs of student affairs apart from aca-demics. I see no reason why we would lose or sacrifice them. I wouldn't for a moment be sug-gesting the fee change if I thought we were going to lose that component. What about handicapped stu-dents? Brushaber: It's been our exper-ience that students who are physically handicapped often take 4 courses. (at this point, it was suggested that the deans answer Senate-posed questions more quickly to accommodate those from the floor; but Brushaber later returned to this issue.) We've tried to check on those few handicapped students at Bethel, and didn't find any who took only one or two courses. They often put us to shame with their determination not to be treated as exceptions. But we're available to make adjustments in cases where it's necessary. Would the retention rate be affected? Brushaber: We anticipate the retention rate would probably go through a period of fluctuation for a year or two then settle down to about where it is now. Would the new system discour-age study at other schools within enrollment at Bethel? Brushaber: We're not designing a program that would encourage or favor that, but it would not elimi-nate students who desired to take their courses at the University. Under the 4-1-2 arrangement, a student could recover enough money to just about pay for two courses at the U...I' m not inter-ested in encouraging you to go to a school where we have no exchange and no way of assuring you a quality experience. (Regar-ding the UMAIE January travel) Bethel students will pay what students of other colleges under a flat fee pay. Under the old system, those who stayed at home subsidized those who went a-broad. Where would the Campus Coord-inator budget come from? Brushaber: The money will not be billed as a special fee, as the $10 charge was this year, but will be assigned to the coordinators out of the flat fee. You will not pay a student activity fee, nor a $5 physical education fee on the flat structure. Is it ethical to impose a new fee structure on all students, even those who started without the knowledge that the per course system was a five-year experi-ment? Brushaber: Since I came here just two years ago, I don't know what was communicated to stu-dents five years ago. But those who are seniors next year will have adjustments provided so they aren't penalized. Those who are just short.of that status may be helped, and a number of us will be available to aid those who are pinched by this position. We have to have some flexibility there. Differential pricing, however, has proven to be inequitable because incoming students sub- .sidize upper level classes. Macal-ester dropped this system. What about education majors advised not to take more than three courses while student teaching? Brushaber: That question was brought to my attention about 2 p.m., and I have it recorded in my notes for us to study and give you an answer in a week or so. You represent a whole class of people in a similar situation, so there will have to be an adjustment made. Other more rhetorical ques-tions were posed: What about `empirical studies' indicating that despite increased responsibili-ties, married students, for exam-ple, do better academically? Why compare Bethel to other schools; can't we be unique? How does one measure maturity and growth? Frequent reference to several arguments led to the following conclusion about the administra-tion's rationale behind the flat-fee structure: 1. Empirical studies show a more mature, well-adjusted per-son is likely to emerge from a full-time student, full-time em-ployee pattern. This model will be encouraged by the flat fee struc-ture. 2. Very few other schools are on a per course billing system. Inquiry at meetings of academic deans in Washington last week indicated to Brushaber that our present system is highly unusual, probably because it is unworkable in the long run. 3. The present per course structure was initiated as a five-year experiment, and an experi-ment which lost the college $100,000 the first year in tuition. That money has never been recovered. Aside from that, how-ever, the system has not proven to be preferable to the flat fee. 4. The flat fee, even though it charges the same for students taking 3 and 4-and-one-half courses, can be worked to the financial advantage of even the needy student. After two hours, there were still unasked and unanswered questions from the floor. There will be another open forum next week. Watch for an announce-ment of the specific time. Page 2 Voice of Calvary president John Perkins: Christian leader proposes changing of world by Dave Terpstra John Perkins, founder and president of Voice of Calvary Ministries, will speak in chapel on Feb. 20 and 21. He is the author of "A Quiet Revolution" and "Let Justice Roll Down." John and Vera Perkins left California in 1960 in order to get to the source of the problems that they saw in the various mini-stries. Rev. Perkins and his wife chose Mendenhall, Mississippi as their base of operations. They started working in just a tent, later moving into a store-front site until their present facilities could be completely built. John Perkins witnessed and preached in the local schools to the Black children. Eventually, many Black people became affected by the witness of this loving, energetic man of God. In addition, they were looking for ways that they as Black people could help themselves and their surroundings by the power of God. Rev. Perkins thinks it is ironic that Whites practice extreme racism and subtle discrimination (not only in the South), and then call themselves Christians. The Voice of Calvary (VOC) members saw themselves "in the role of exhorting our White fellow Christians to repentance and good works." Sometimes . situations appeared to be overpoweringly fearful, yet the VOC members always turned to God for His help. Nothing has worked perfectly. But the grace of God has blessed them and many have come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. John Perkins viewed his people much like Paul looked at the Jews—his "heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved." He knew that many were not getting a proper education or a good job. The VOC mission helped people in voter registration, in-tegration, and small business co-ops, to supply their needs. Perkins strategy was, and still is, a triangle action pattern of evangelism, political involve-ment, reconciliation, and redis-tribution. He said in the 1973 Urbana Missions Conference that God is giving them a "New Testament church. It seems the Holy Spirit is restoring to us an understanding of our local church as the replace-ment of Christ's body in a specific neighborhood, drawing people that they might be 'nourished and knit together through joints and ligaments' growing with a `growth that is from God' " (Col. 2:19). As lights to the community, the gifts of the Spirit are manifesting themselves in these individuals— "building up the body of faith into a powerful whole." Praise the Lord that these guerrilla fighters for God are fighting strong through the love and strength of Jesus. Later in the term, the Public Action Committee will be spon-soring a fund-raising activity for John. Perkins' VOC Ministries. This will give Bethel students a chance to show their concern for minority people. Lundquist eulogizes comptroller, Held Graydon Held, comptroller for Bethel College and Seminary for the past ten years, died last Friday of cancer, at the age of 54. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and four children, Che-ryl, Cindy, Graydon Jr., and Gregory, all Bethel students. The following tribute was composed and read by President Carl Lund-quist at Mr. Held's funeral last Monday. * * * * * For Graydon Held Romans 14:12 had a special appropriate-ness: "So then each one shall give account of himself to God." Graydon's life vocation was that of giving account. He was an accountant, and a skilled one. The last decade of his life was spent making the profession of a accounting a service to Jesus Christ on the campus of Bethel College and Seminary. There he was used to debits and credits, to gains and losses, to capital investment and current operations, to ledgers and audits. At the end of each fiscal year he was used to drawing double lines to close off his accounts and submitting them to national audi-tors for review. Always Bethel— and Graydon—passed that test. And now God has summoned him to give account of himself. I was with him many times when he gave account to human. audi-tors. He always had something to say—something good, something pertinent, something construc-tive. He could defend the busi-ness practices of Bethel and his accounting of them. But when he stands before the Great Auditor to give account of himself I'm not sure what Gray-don will say. By nature he was diffident, modest, undemanding. He showed . no ostentation and sought no public notice. I'm not sure that he will report all those night hours he worked, unnoticed and unpaid, out of his concern to get the job done. I'm not sure that he will report his feeling of expendability during Bethel's transition to its new campus and his contentment with any kind of improvised office space. I'm not sure that he will report his deep preoccupation when expenses mounted faster than income that led him to prayer and to personal negotiations with the money lenders. I'm not sure that he will report the patient manner with which he responded to an unceasing call for reports—all of them slightly dif-ferent— to the administration, to the board, to the students, to the faculty, to the denomination, to the bankers, to the government, to the accrediting agencies. I'm not sure that he will report his steadiness when the air was tense, or his optimism when the obstacles seemed insurmounta-ble, or his gentleness when he interacted with his colleagues, or his kindness when he talked about those who appeared un-friendly, or his helpfulness when he answered the requests of students and teachers. While Graydon's professional nature led him to full disclosure about financial transactions, I suspect that his unassuming na-ture would keep him silent about those personal strengths which made him such a beloved figure on the campus. He loved Bethel. And Bethel loved him, too. So, God, what Graydoq proba-bly could never bring himself to say to You we gladly affirm on his behalf. We rejoice that You, by whom all actions are weighed, know Graydon's virtues even better than we. We thank You for giving him to us as a gift of Your Spirit for these past ten years. We thank You for letting us see Christ alive itt a comptroller. We thank You for nudging us to be better persons through Gray-don's quiet example. We thank You for the record of a life as well as the records of a lifetime. Graydon's accounting to You, ultimately, will not rest upon his personal achievements but upon the finished work of Christ upon the cross. But because of what Graydon built upon that we are sure that the work of this accoun-tant will be approved in the final audit and that You will certify upon the first page of his last report: "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master!"

The consultation picks up the theme of a language course conducted by Dr. Donald Larson, professor of linguistics, during January interim in which 16 students taught themselves Greek. Without previous know-ledge of any other language than their mother tongue English, the class was divided into small groups and then given a para-graph in Greek along with its translation for study. Next they received another passage of Greek plus a tape recorded reading of it and began to work out their own translation.

The convention, which will be held in conjuction with that of the NAE (National Associ-ation of Evangelicals), will feature such well-known speakers as Oswald Hoffman and Festo Kivengere. The AAES, which is now affiliated with the NAE, is a representative body for over 25,000 students from 27 evan-gelical colleges and universities throughout the United States. It's major purpose, according to Chairman of the Board Chuck Kern, "lies in its unique design: a forum where Christian schools can come together to combine resources and unite behind an evangelical front that would offer a needed alternative perspective to some of the contemporary issues that face all students today." This is accomplished by taking two primary directions of action, within and without. Within—by projects and services such as a data bank, newsletters, and a national convention to promote better student government and the study of mutual problems. Without—by attempting to un-ify that group to have a significant impact and voice for evangelical students on national issues such as pornography and financial aid cutbacks. Attendance at the conference is encouraged for all those students interested in promoting stronger evangelical student relations. Any further information_ on the sessions, as well as the work-shops, may be obtained from Bobbi Hersch (Treasurer of the Association) or Jim Torgersen (National Public Relations Chair-man). A consultation to explore a new approach to language learning will be held at Bethel, Feb. 24-25, to which professors and students are invited. Guest resource persons are Dr. Earl Stevick of the School of Languages, Foreign Service In-stitute, U.S. Department of State, and Dr. William Smalley, until recently, Translation Consultant with the -United Bible Society.

Apparently it has touched an irritable spot, the college billfold. The first rumors wrought shudders in the hearts of many, and some irate activists went so far as to plot the seizure of the administration building, only to remember in embarrassment that Bethel doesn't have one. When Dean Brushaber first explained the policy to me I scratched down a series of arguments against such a move, but two lengthy conferences with Dr. Nettleton dispelled most of those. Would not this plan discourage extra-curricular 'activities vital to Bethel life? No, I found out, because most of those now involved in such activities are carrying full loads. Won't it hurt students who take courses at the university or other schools? Possibly, but you can't expect Bethel to build its program to encourage study at other schools. I came out at a loss to find any strong arguments against such a policy. I could pose "what about..." questions until Minnesota warms over, but nothing really argues the point effectively. Yet as I pondered further I realized that neither was I convinced of any of the arguments in favor of the new policy. Follow the list of "advantages" to this system as given in Dean Brushaber's statement. It will lower total degree cost. Will it? If "normal degree progress" is an average of 8.5 courses per year, then compare next year's set fee of $2750 to the sum of $2762.50 (8.5 times the would-be per course fee of $325). Is a $12.50 advantage really a solid argument? No extra charge for interim will be made for students enrolled full-time for at least one semester each year. Of course not, because the semester fees are big enough to cover the interim cost. Or, to look at it another way, the money you save on interim is lost in that half credit you aren't taking when you average 8.5 a year (a full load is nine a year). The only financial advantage here is to the student who is enrolled for one of the two semesters, and that is not normal degree progress. Students may take 10 courses per year for the same cost as seven courses. You could also say that students can take seven courses for the cost of 10. The fact is, the cost is worth about 8.5 courses. Why should we argue for the exceptional student who takes 10 courses and against the exceptional student who takes seven? Incidental fees such as student activities and physical education components will be eliminated. But these only total about $20 a year for the normal student. It's nice, I agree, but not much of an advantage, even if you add that $12.50. It may help out students who take private music lessons or such, but we aren't dealing with exceptions, remember. Billing, registration and financial aid procedures will be simplified. That's fine, but I suppose the weight of that argument depends upon how much we value it. To me, it seems a mere "fringe" benefit. Bethel can return to a billing system that is standard in higher education. When did this become important to Bethel, where we spend so much time pointing out our unique aspects? It is also standard in Christian higher education to require chapel attendance. It is standard in secular higher education to disregard lifestyle. Normal degree progress is encouraged. This must be the key. But I have two problems with it. First, the new policy really doesn't encourage the student to take a full load. It discourages him from taking less than a full load. It is a negative rather than a positive incentive, and there is a difference. Secondly, the key question is, why? Why do we want to encourage normal degree progress? Why is it better to take a full load? Why is it better to graduate in four years? May I make it clear, I am not taking a stand for or against this new policy. I'm not sure why we shouldn't change, but neither am I sure we should. I wish someone would make clear what is wrong with the current system. It all seems to hinge on our value of "normal degree progress," as Bethel defines it. Why should we take a full load? Why is it better to finish college in four years? Some clear and concrete answers to these questions would help resolve some of the dissonance.

"We gave them some English words borrowed from Greek and responded with yes or no, correct or incorrect to their own formu-lations of Greek sentences," Mrs. Steward said. "The students got just a small segment of the language, but it was like a tough, sticky little ball that new pieces stuck to. Gradually they discov-ered the rules of the whole." Students themselves were both amazed and thrilled at what they accomplished and at their own language development. "I learn-ed a lot more Greek in a month than I ever expected," one said. Not only did the participants gain knowledge of another langu-age but also of themselves as learners in a new situation. In the same way that Dr. Larson served as an informant in this class situation, international students, he believes, can serve as an untapped resource to Amer-ican students in language learn-ing. "Instead of finding jobs for them in maintenance or the cafeteria," he said, "why not give them campus employment as language specialists in the areas of their skills?" The February 24-25 consulta-tion will explore ways this can be done. Interested observers may call either Dr. Larson or Mrs. Steward at 641-6332 for further information about the sessions. The department of theatre arts will present Arthur Miller's play, "All My Sons," on March 2-4 and 7-11, at 8 p.m. in the experi-mental theatre. This early play of Miller's had a 328 performance run on Broad-way and received the Drama Critics Circle Award for the ,best American play of the 1947 season. The play takes place after World War II and deals with a family burdened with guilt and loneli-ness. Under tremendous emo-tional strain they wrestle with their responsibilities to each other and to the society at large. The play is directed by Assis-tant Professor of Theatre Douglas M. Briggs. His previous produc-tions at Bethel include "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Toad of Toad Hall, "Romeo and Juliet," and this year's "Festival of Christmas." His work has also been seen at Northwestern Col-lege ("The Miracle Worker," "The Sound of Music," "Anasta-sia," and "The Sparrow") as well as in local churches ("The Fable of the Brementown Four"). The box office will accept reser-vations Monday through Friday, 1 to 4 p.m., at 641-6247.

The free concert, conducted by Dr. Robert Berglund, will begin at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 5, at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. The oratorio, based on scrip-ture, focuses on the life of the apostle Paul, opening with Paul's persecution of Christians, and going through his conversion experience, his commission as a preacher and missionary, and his service for Christ. Mendelssohn gdve the work a very dramatic musical setting, Dr. Berglund describes, adding, "What is more dramatic than Paul's life and his conversion?" "Mendelssohn shows Paul's fervor in the first part," Berglund said, "and shows how Paul turned it around to use it for the Lord." "It is not only exciting musi-cally," the conductor said, "but it is one of the rich spiritual experiences available to us in sacred choral literature. We hope the Bethel community will not only support us with its presence, but come expecting to receive something as well." Dr. Berglund said the oratorio was performed at Bethel by the Festival Choir several years ago and was so well received by the student body that they determin-ed to do it again. Mount Olivet Lutheran seats 2800, but last year's performance of the Brahms' requiem by the same choirs filled the church. Directions for getting to the church will be posted on the music bulletin board across from the music office. by Rick Drake I could tell it was going to be a good concert just by looking at the audience. It was one of those musically literate audiences that only congregate when a great performance is about to happen. There was so much excitement in the air that I could not calm myself enough to read the pro-gram notes. I never did all evening. I went to the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center last Sunday evening to see and hear the renowned Beaux Arts Trio. The concert was the second of three in the "Three of the World's Great Chamber Music Ensembles" ser-ies co-sponsored with The Schu-bert Club and the New Friends of Chamber Music. Now in its 21st year, the trio has been hailed on four conti-nents, performing more than 3500 concerts throughout North and Chapel Schedule Monday—John Perkins, "Voice of Calvary" ministries Tuesday—John Perkins Wednesday—Rev. Warren - Magnuson Thursday—Roots: Jonathon Edwards—Dr. Piper Friday—Roots: Charles Finney—Dr. Jim Johnson music performance was! When these musicians, each a soloist in his own right, joined forces to perform a single composition, something happened that is far greater than either a solo per-formance or a conducted ensem-ble performance. Not only was there an abundance of solo pas-sages demanding virtuoso tech-nique and musicianship, but there was incredible ensemble achieved, no doubt through years of practice and performance to-gether. Part of the thrill of attending this concert was being part of that audience. The spontaneous out-burst of applause that followed each trio was insufficient means of expressing our enjoyment of each work. Following the Mozart Trio, the applause brought the three performers back onstage two times before they could remain back stage long enough to get the music for the next trio. Following the Ravel Trio, the same gratitude was expressed. However, following the final trio in the program, the Brahms Trio, the audience immediately jumped to its feet for a standing ovation which brought the Beaux Arts Trio out six times before they finally consented to play an encore. One thing is certain—that was not the last chamber music per-formance I will attend. South America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The prize winning ensemble has recorded for Philips all the Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendels-sohn, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Op. 50, Schubert and Dvorak trios. They are at the top of every best-selling classical list throughout the Uni-ted States and Europe. The trio, consisting of Mena-hem Pressler, pianist, Isadore Cohen, violinist, and Bernard Greenhouse, cellist, performed the Trio in B Flat Major, K. 502 by Mozart, the Trio in A Minor by Ravel and the Trio in C Major, Opus 87 by Brahms. The rich and percussive sonorities of the Ravel Trio contrasted the sheer ele-gance of the Mozart Trio and the warm romantic tone of the Brahms Trio. These three trios joined with a single movement of a Dvorak trio, added as an encore, made up a delightful program. How intimate this chamber FALCON HEIGHTS PHARMACY 1 707 N.

Zion open on weekends for tubing, sliding enthusiasts Shaw's 'Misalliance' gains momentum, worth seeing Women tracksters begin season with weak showing by Dale Peterson In the early 1900's, if one were to place a Polish wonder woman, a daring young pilot, a disap-pointed socialist, and a smatter-ing of well-bred English aristo-crats, in the same English country home for an evening, one would have a misalliance. One would also have the framework for the Theatre in the Round's latest pro-duction by George Bernard Shaw. "Misalliance" is Shaw's com-mentary on societal class struc-ture; it is much less subtle than "Pygmalion" (but then, what isn't). And for some reason, it is not as well known. One has the play selecting committee of Thea-tre in the Round to thank for bringing it to the state once again. When the house lights are raised for the first intermission an audience member may be inclined to wonder how it will ever be possible to sit through two more acts of such a slow-paced, boring play. But don't lose heart! Not only are they possible to sit through, they are rather enjoyable and incredibly well done. One might even wonder if he had acciden-tally strayed into a different theatre for acts two and three. The first act begins slowly and builds to a near halt. It is mostly expository material which direc-tor Mac Harris has paced much too slowly. There are quite a few redeeming features, though, which tend to make the initial boredom easy to take. Jerry Ion, who plays Bentley Summerhays, a spoiled little rich kid who usu-ally throws a tantrum to get his way, is excellent. The initial scenes with Bentley and Johnny Tarleton, played by Joe Kudla, are enjoyable. The comic timing on both actors' parts is brilliant, if only those- scenes weren't so short! Soon Bentley and Johnny are joined by Michele Delattre as Hypatia Tarleton. Her voice is angelic; it has that rare kind of appealing tone that one could listen to for hours, if only they didn't have to watch her. Her movements throughout the first act are clumsy and lacking in motivation. That trait is also possessed by Harry Baxter, who plays the role of Lord Summerhays. He walks through the entire play with his hands uncomfortably at his side and his eyes nervously shifting towards whatever character hap-pens to be speaking at the time. The initial boredom is really a small price to pay for the sheer enjoyment of the rest of the play. At the end of the first act, a host of interesting characters are in-troduced. Mark Johnson, playing Joey Percival, flies into a green-house along with his passenger Sandra Bucholtz as Lina Szcze-panowska (say horse-church). Both are vivacious and enter-taining. Oscar Backlund as John Tarleton is superb as the father of the house and founder of Tarleton underwear. A high point of the show is the performance given by Mark Kee-ly as Gunner, Be succeeds a number of times in drawing applause for his brilliant timing and line delivery. Micliele, we find, has taken movement lessons during inter-mission and Harry Baxter now has less lines. The pacing picks up and one can relax and enjoy the excellence of the script. The set is well done and the lighting is adequate. The music played before the show and during intermissions is well cho-sen and truly fits the mood of the play. While it's not worth rushing through dinner to make the curtain, it certainly is worth seeing "Misalliance" at Theatre in the Round. by Suzi Wells For all tubing or sliding enthu-siasts, Mt. Zion, located near Bremer Field, is open on Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30 ' p.m. until midnight. Freshman Paul Bjork and Kelly Brandes operate the slopes for 50 cents a night, which includes tube rental and tow rope fee. The dynamite shack, heated with a wood stove, • is also open, com-plete with couches, for no extra charge. The tow rope on the hill operates by car. Freshman Dave Willet sold his 1970 Mercury Montego for the operation. A rope attatched to the rear hub cap of the car runs the rope. The rope includes a safety trip in case of accidents, such as scarfs getting caught under tubes on the way up. Group rates and special times are available. Those with their own tubes or other means of sliding will only be charged 25 cents for the lift. Paul said that jumping contests are part of the fun at the hill. So far, the record jump is 27 feet, held by Kelly Brandes. Another record was set last Saturday—a chain of 14 intertubes. The Campus Coordinators have helped get this new activity underway. With student input, Mt. Zion has potential. "If we start getting a lot of people, we'll put more into it," Paul noted. Mt. Zion will be open for snow activities until the snow melts. by Laura Woodruff The women's track team start-ed their fourth year off with a co-ed triangular meet on Feb. 11. The meet included St. Olaf, who took first by scoring 63 points, followed by the _University of Wisconsin at River Falls with 55 points, and Bethel with only 8 points. The meet was held at St. Olaf. Even though Bethel scored few points, Coach Shirley Dawson was able to say, "I'm satisfied," about the meet. Two Bethel indoor records were set: one by Lynn Severson in the 60-yard dash with a time of 7.38 seconds, and the other was set by Bobbi Hersch when she took fourth place in the 880-yard run with a time of 2 minutes and 29 seconds. With a jump of 16' 3", Bobbi Hersch got second in the long jump. She also placed third in the high jump by jumping 4' 10". Jill Beuckens placed fifth in the 60-yard dash with a time of 8.3 seconds. In the mile run Denise Egge had a 5:35 minute run, and Brenda Harris, a 5:45 minute run, placing them fifth and sixth, respectively. Tami McQuoid's time of 10.15 seconds in the 60-yard hurdles earned her a fourth place. Egge ran 300 yards in 41.9 seconds, placing forth. Brenda Harris ran a 880 in 2:33 minutes; a time that is 3 seconds off the old record. Harris, Hersch, Egge and Rita Glasscock were three-tenths of a second from the indoor record in the mile relay with a time of 4:22.3. Coach Dawson had only ten women running, whereas St. Olaf and River Falls each had twice as many. She feels that River Falls is a top-notch team, and that "St. Olaf is a powerhouse." She considers placing in an event against those teams in an accom-plishment, and that Bethel has started the year off well. Her only complaint is that the team lacks depth, with only fifteen members on the team (she expects about five more women to come out after the basketball season is over). Even though the team lacks depth there is quality. Three runners that competed in regionals last year are on the team again this year. On Friday and Saturday, Feb. 17 and 18, Bethel will compete in the Northwestern open at the University of Minnesota. continued from page eight Bethel was never able to wrestle a full team, which was a contributing factor in many of their losses this season. "It's been a frustrating sea-son," said Coach Dave Klost-reich, "but I have to commend the kids who stuck it out and showed a lot of spirit. We would have had a much better team if all the weight classes had been filled," he added. Six of the wrestlers will see action once more tomorrow at the MIAC conference meet at Concordia- Moorhead. Augsburg is favored in the tournament in which nine other teams are competing. "Our goal is to place as many as we can," said Klostreich, "but lack of experience will make it difficult for some to place." Four places are given out in each weight class. Klostreich feels Gary Peterson has an excellent chance of fin-ishing first or second in the meet, and Lonnie Holmgren will also probably finish high. Teamwise, the coach would be satisfied with finishing in the middle of the nine teams competing. Page 7 Lori Hallquht blocks a shot In a recent home game. Cross-country ski race was an afternoon event of Bethel's annual Sno Daze festivities. Thinclads open season at St. Olaf Tenacious defense, fast break offense aid women to victory by Steve Erickson Employing a tenacious 1-3-1 defense and a fast-break offense, the women's basketball team defeated St. Theresa's 57-27 and Hamline 57-37 last week. These wins stretched its winning streak to five games. On Wednesday, Bethel jumped out to a 19-0 lead before St. Theresa's got its first basket 12 minutes into the game. Numerous fast-break baskets increased the Royal's lead to 34-11 at the half. Things changed little in the second half as Coach Kathy Nevins substituted freely among her players. Although St. Theresa's put together a string of ten straight points, this did not put much of a dent in Bethel's lead. Cindi Ramm led a balanced scoring attack with nine points. On Thursday, the Royals again took a quick lead and stayed on top throughout the contest. They led 35-12 at half time. Hamline attempted a comeback in the second period but was no match for the quicker, taller Bethel team. Ramm and Katie Miller each tallied nine points for the victors. "We were a faster team than both St. Theresa's and Hamline. We were able to run fast breaks and a lot of points were scored off them," said Nevins. "I'm a defensive coach," she continued. "We've kept teams fairly low but in some of the games that we've lost, we haven't scored too many points. The chronic problem we have is turnovers." "I like to win but I also like to be in situations where everyone plays. That's good because we by Jon Fredrickson Last Saturday was the start of the I.M. basketball league that will run until March 11 when the regular season ends and the play-offs begin. The 26 teams that are compet-ing are split into two leagues depending on the ability of the team. The "A" league is called the Stuffs and Swish, the "B" league is called the Hackers and Trippers for obvious reasons. Along with the unusual names for the divisions there are some don't have a junior varsity," said Nevins. Bethel's record is 11-5. Teams in Minnesota ae separated into two districts, the north and south. Bethel is seeded number eight in the north district, the tougher of the two. Tonight the Royals play St. Thomas in the first round of district. If they win on the number one seed, they will play St. Catherine's tomorrow. unusual team names like the Weight Room Woosies, True Grunt, Swedish Fly Girls Revisi-ted, and the Beef Jerky. Last Saturday's action started at 9 a.m. and went until around 2 p.m. The games were watched by small but excited crowds. All the games were close except for the game between the two movies, Star Wars and Swe-dish Fly Girls, where the Fly Girls won by the score of 85-36. Saturdays high scorers were Greg Thom 25, Dave Hepburn 24, Mark Norlander 23, Dave Ekert 22, and Tim Traudt. I.M. basketball teams begin open league season Oles hand cagers eighth MIAC loss by Lisa Mills The men's track team found itself up against some stiff com-petition as they faced River Falls and St. Olaf last Saturday at the St. Olaf meet. St. Olaf took first with a total of 80, River Falls came in with 46, and Bethel just following with 44. A winner in the running events, where Bethel's strength seemed to be, was Nate Allen taking first Page 8 in the 60-yd. dash with a time of 6.4. Nate won the 300 at a time of 32.9, which qualified him for the NAIA indoor meets. Curt Brown won both the 440-yd. run at 51.9 and the 600-yd. run at 1:16.1. Curt qual-ified for the NAIA indoor meets at the Duluth meet two weeks ago. Dave Clapp took second in the 880 in the time of 1:57.7, and ran the 1,000 in a time of 2:16 to qualify him for the NAIA indoor. Bethel also won the mile relay, because St. Olaf was disqualified for stepping out of its lane, at a time of 3:32.2. Coach Gene Glader comment-ed, "We had our strength in the running events, but were very weak in the field events, which hurt us." In stating his expecta-tions for the season, Glader remarked, "If we stay free of injuries we'll do well." He added, "We don't really have the depth we need, but we're cautiously optimistic." by Greg Kuntz The Oles of St. Olaf dominated the boards and handed the Bethel cagers their eighth conference loss against 3 wins, 94-80 at Northfield last Saturday night. "We took more shots than they, did, but they got second shots on the rebounds," said Coach Jim Bragg. The Oles were no slouch at the free-throw line either by sinking .24 of 32. The Royals sunk 12 of 15 for a higher percentage than the hosts. But Bethel, down by only six points with just under a minute to play, was forced to commit several personal fouls to regain possession of the ball. Ole guard Craig Fitzsimmons and forward Bruce Govig paced the winners with 21 and 20 points respectively, while Dave Blanch-ard and "Sugar Ray" Miller poured in 21 and 18 respectively. The game was close most of the first half, but the 6'8" rebound-ing machine of Dave Anderson and Phil Meyers continued to dominate, forcing the Royals to the outside shot. Bethel trailed at the intermission 43-36. Anderson ended up with 17 points, and Meyers scored 16. "St. Olaf didn't look as good as when we played them at home, (another high scoring contest, 99-91) "but their 52-36 edge in the rebounding department coupled with the free throws clobbered us," said Bragg. The Royals will play the Ham-line Pipers at home tomorrow night, and will travel to Augsburg in Minneapolis Monday night to face the Auggies for the second time this season. Both games will begin at 7:30 p.m. Forfeits continue to hamper efforts of Royal grapplers by Carol Madison Bethel wrestling suffered two more losses in their season finale at the Gustavus Triangular last weekend. They were over-whelmed by St. Thomas 46-9, but actually out-wrestled Gustavus in the 32-25 loss to them. Conference contender St. Thomas allowed Bethel only nine points on a pin by Dave Fuller at 118, and a 4-1 decision by Gary Peterson. An 18-point forfeit was the difference in the defeat by Gusta-vus. Jim Schultz and Gary Peter-son both won by falls, and Lonnie Holmgren won his match 18-6. Greg Heinsch wrestled to a 2-2 tie in his match. Bethel wrestled well, but could not make up for the loss in the weight classes that were not filled. continued on page 7

THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 15 February 17, 1978 Exchange reveals chief premise of flat-fee structure: New structure encourages fuldme 'moder student Last Monday afternoon about 150 students filled the AC Lounge floor and gallery to meet with academic Dean George Brusha-ber and Student Affairs Director Mack Nettleton. The issue: the proposed flat fee tuition struc-ture. The questions: twenty for-mally designed and submitted by the Student Senate, others posed singly from the floor. At one point, Dean Brushaber summarized his expectations of the Senate-sponsored forum: "Frankly, I've been troubled by conversations with some people who have been so determined to discover flaws with the compre-hensive fee, have been so on the offensive against it that they've latched onto arguments both good and bad. It's my hope that through the forum we can discri-minate between the good and bad arguments, recognizing that for some people there will be difficul-ties with the flat fee; recognizing that and attempting to ameliorate those problems while at the same time coming to a clearer under-standing about some things that are not problems." The following is a transcription of that two-hour process, derived from a recording the Clarion made. It is condensed, but true to the intentions of those asking and answering the questions. Will a student lose eligibility for financial aid under the pro-posed 4-1-2 alternative? Brushaber: Bethel distributed aid and federal distributed aid will not be reduced for those students enrolled on a 4-1-2. Minnesota state law requires that students take at least 3 courses in order to receive the aid. So the student who is enrolled on the 4-1-2 will receive state aid for the fall, but for the two spring courses he or she would not receive aid. How-ever, he or she would not lose eligibility for that semester of aid at some other point. Will the flat fee cause students to arrange their studies around fi-nances instead of around curricu-lum? Brushaber: That's one of the same arguments that was used against the per course billing.... Regardless of the curriculum plan or the billing plan you're under I expect that finances become a consideration. Will we lose our part-time stu-dents, and is that good? Nettleton: I don't think it will cause us to lose those students. It is not desirable that we lose them, but we don't build the fee structure or the curriculum a-round the exceptions to the rule. We design them to fit the model. Brushaber: Empirical research done in colleges around the country, suggests that students mature better, 'get it together' better, when they have alternate periods of full-time study in residence alternating with full-time periods of traveling abroad, full-time work, or study at anoth-er institution. There is not as much likelihood you will grow and mature to the maximum if you are dividing your time in a menial part-time job, doing minimal work in an academic assignment. Frankly, we are interested in encouraging enrollment patterns of full-time study, and if work is necessary, full-time work, when you are able to earn more, when you will be able to build relation-ships which can be used to secure permanent employment upon graduation. Under the flat-fee system, a student carrying a full load (9 courses) can save $130 over four years, but is this worth the change? Nettleton: A better argument would be 'if it cost $130 or $250 more, would the increased costs be warranted?' In our opinion, the comprehensive fee is a better system. The fact that it saves $130 over four years is not the convincing argument. That hap-pens to be a fringe benefit. Does the flat-fee. eacouraaina students to go full time or 'stop out' ignore those taking a sequen-tial curriculum, such as physics? Nettleton: The suggestion that people can stop out for a term is not the principle on which the fee structure is based, but merely an alternative for people who want to carry reduced loads. For the person having sequential courses, they could perhaps carry a dif-ferent kind of sequence, 4-1-2 for example, where the two spring courses are sequential. Still, tak-ing that pattern would reduce their total costs. Brushaber: Next fall we will move more fully into a pattern where we will have courses in sequence beginning both in the fall and in the spring, at least in those courses -where we've been offer-ing three, four, or five sections anyway. May the new system discriminate against persons financially inca-pable of enrolling full-time? Nettleton: I'm sure you can find cases where it would and I think you can find cases where it would not. It's very possible to demon-strate the financial advantage is clearly with people who take The sale of old campus was finalized on Feb. 9, regardless of the legal suit outcome, when a representative of the Department of Labor visited the campus to make official payment of funds. The campus was sold for a reported $1.82 million, which, according to the agreement be-tween Bethel and the Department of Labor, will be increased by more than $100,000 by the sale of furnishings ($40,000), payment of all utilities from Dec. 23 to June 1, and advance payment in full even though the dormitories will be occupied through commence-ment. "The interest this earned, to-gether with payments, will gross approximately $1.925 million," stated a release from the presi-dent's office. The release also stated that half of the $1.925 million will be used to retire obli-advantage of the new system; who carry full loads and perhaps alternate with periods of full-time work. You can also demonstrate that a person is far ahead in completing their degree early, even if they have to borrow money to do it, get into the labor force earlier and become full-time employees earlier. WM the flat-fee discourage extra-curricular involvement? Nettleton: I hope not. (Audience laughter). Your response to that indicates you don't understand the genesis of my hope: Student Affairs office builds its whole program around encouraging stu-dents to be involved in non-class-room activities. On the other hand, we don't want to encourage students to come to Bethel as part-time students and full-time extra-curricular participants. Co-curricular models encourage full-time students being involved in these activities. If the focus on the Christian service, athletic, or stu-dent government activities has become so strong that you can't carry a full load too, the focus is wrong. continued on page 2 gations on the old campus and the other half to provide advance funding for replacing the dormi-tories on new campus. On the other end of the scale, the old campus neighbors are still fighting a legal battle to stop the Job Corps from entering the Snelling Ave. campus.

One may (or may not) remember that during the course of Gulliver's stay on the island of the "little people," he was attacked with a barrage of toothpick-sized arrows. The story makes the irony clear: thousands of midgets, no larger than Gulliver's earlobe, shooting arrows which were no longer than their arms. They must have felt a great camaraderie, a sense of accomplish-ment. In fact they must have thought it quite a noble thing to contribute to the destruction of such a very large giant. All the while, Gulliver was brushing off their arrows, laughing off their offensive, much in the same way a ticklish person squirms and squeels, "Eek, don't do that." There is a portion of the Bethel student body that is, in the light of the flat fee proposal, reacting much like a herd of scared pygmies in the face of a friendly giant. To a pygmy, there is no such thing as a friendly giant. In making the administration out to be "student well-being enemy number one," they are taking shots in the dark out of a state of panic. This does little for their own cause and only widens the attitudinal gap between "them and us." Instead of running panic-stricken in the face of the flat-fee giant, we would do well to move more cautiously when considering the situation. Students are labeling the new fee structure as "bad" because it is a big change, much as the little people assumed Gulliver to be a foe, seeing that he was indeed a big giant. It would be a great help to both the Bethel community and themselves if those students, who while away the hours formulating picky arguments against the flat fee structure, would more carefully consider their position, or at least that of the administration. This is not to say that all arguments against the new fee structure stand unfounded. But by presenting such a hoard of "my roommate who is a junior" type examples, the adversaries of the proposal are doing themselves a great disfavor—hiding many substantial and well-thought out objections behind a camouflage of poor reasoning. This, of course, takes place on both sides of the fence. The dean's list of ten advantages of the flat fee structure boils itself down to no more than two substantial arguments, which are only flavored by the sour spice of the remaining eight. This lump of unconsequential, insignificant advantages, and all the discussion that has circulated around each of them, has only obscured the precepts that the proposal is built on, and thus puts off any penetrating discussion. There is a sense in which we "loving evangelicals" also love a good fight. After all, we don't get a good fight all that often. I'm not making Bethel students out to be blood-thirsty warmongers, but rather as a group of growing intellects who are itching to stretch into "the real world." If we can't find time, or don't have the initiative to take part in issue of real consequence outside of our college community, then we jump at the opportunity to become involved with an issue that concerns us directly, inside our community. We all enjoy feeling important and getting upset. Being really concerned is one way of getting involved. To be vocal about these concerns is to satisfy that yearning to be a part of things. Although the proposed fee structure will drastically affect some students, the vast majority can afford to take themselves much less seriously in regards to this issue. By satisfying our urge to become involved and taking uncalculated, blind shots at the "flat fee giant," we are only bringing realization to our attitudes. We are turning him into an enemy that we don't really need. Mark Holmes editorial Deans respond to fee structure continued from page 1 Brushaber: The colleges where I have previously served have o-perated with flat fees and have had well-developed programs of student affairs apart from aca-demics. I see no reason why we would lose or sacrifice them. I wouldn't for a moment be sug-gesting the fee change if I thought we were going to lose that component. What about handicapped stu-dents? Brushaber: It's been our exper-ience that students who are physically handicapped often take 4 courses. (at this point, it was suggested that the deans answer Senate-posed questions more quickly to accommodate those from the floor; but Brushaber later returned to this issue.) We've tried to check on those few handicapped students at Bethel, and didn't find any who took only one or two courses. They often put us to shame with their determination not to be treated as exceptions. But we're available to make adjustments in cases where it's necessary. Would the retention rate be affected? Brushaber: We anticipate the retention rate would probably go through a period of fluctuation for a year or two then settle down to about where it is now. Would the new system discour-age study at other schools within enrollment at Bethel? Brushaber: We're not designing a program that would encourage or favor that, but it would not elimi-nate students who desired to take their courses at the University. Under the 4-1-2 arrangement, a student could recover enough money to just about pay for two courses at the U...I' m not inter-ested in encouraging you to go to a school where we have no exchange and no way of assuring you a quality experience. (Regar-ding the UMAIE January travel) Bethel students will pay what students of other colleges under a flat fee pay. Under the old system, those who stayed at home subsidized those who went a-broad. Where would the Campus Coord-inator budget come from? Brushaber: The money will not be billed as a special fee, as the $10 charge was this year, but will be assigned to the coordinators out of the flat fee. You will not pay a student activity fee, nor a $5 physical education fee on the flat structure. Is it ethical to impose a new fee structure on all students, even those who started without the knowledge that the per course system was a five-year experi-ment? Brushaber: Since I came here just two years ago, I don't know what was communicated to stu-dents five years ago. But those who are seniors next year will have adjustments provided so they aren't penalized. Those who are just short.of that status may be helped, and a number of us will be available to aid those who are pinched by this position. We have to have some flexibility there. Differential pricing, however, has proven to be inequitable because incoming students sub- .sidize upper level classes. Macal-ester dropped this system. What about education majors advised not to take more than three courses while student teaching? Brushaber: That question was brought to my attention about 2 p.m., and I have it recorded in my notes for us to study and give you an answer in a week or so. You represent a whole class of people in a similar situation, so there will have to be an adjustment made. Other more rhetorical ques-tions were posed: What about `empirical studies' indicating that despite increased responsibili-ties, married students, for exam-ple, do better academically? Why compare Bethel to other schools; can't we be unique? How does one measure maturity and growth? Frequent reference to several arguments led to the following conclusion about the administra-tion's rationale behind the flat-fee structure: 1. Empirical studies show a more mature, well-adjusted per-son is likely to emerge from a full-time student, full-time em-ployee pattern. This model will be encouraged by the flat fee struc-ture. 2. Very few other schools are on a per course billing system. Inquiry at meetings of academic deans in Washington last week indicated to Brushaber that our present system is highly unusual, probably because it is unworkable in the long run. 3. The present per course structure was initiated as a five-year experiment, and an experi-ment which lost the college $100,000 the first year in tuition. That money has never been recovered. Aside from that, how-ever, the system has not proven to be preferable to the flat fee. 4. The flat fee, even though it charges the same for students taking 3 and 4-and-one-half courses, can be worked to the financial advantage of even the needy student. After two hours, there were still unasked and unanswered questions from the floor. There will be another open forum next week. Watch for an announce-ment of the specific time. Page 2 Voice of Calvary president John Perkins: Christian leader proposes changing of world by Dave Terpstra John Perkins, founder and president of Voice of Calvary Ministries, will speak in chapel on Feb. 20 and 21. He is the author of "A Quiet Revolution" and "Let Justice Roll Down." John and Vera Perkins left California in 1960 in order to get to the source of the problems that they saw in the various mini-stries. Rev. Perkins and his wife chose Mendenhall, Mississippi as their base of operations. They started working in just a tent, later moving into a store-front site until their present facilities could be completely built. John Perkins witnessed and preached in the local schools to the Black children. Eventually, many Black people became affected by the witness of this loving, energetic man of God. In addition, they were looking for ways that they as Black people could help themselves and their surroundings by the power of God. Rev. Perkins thinks it is ironic that Whites practice extreme racism and subtle discrimination (not only in the South), and then call themselves Christians. The Voice of Calvary (VOC) members saw themselves "in the role of exhorting our White fellow Christians to repentance and good works." Sometimes . situations appeared to be overpoweringly fearful, yet the VOC members always turned to God for His help. Nothing has worked perfectly. But the grace of God has blessed them and many have come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. John Perkins viewed his people much like Paul looked at the Jews—his "heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved." He knew that many were not getting a proper education or a good job. The VOC mission helped people in voter registration, in-tegration, and small business co-ops, to supply their needs. Perkins strategy was, and still is, a triangle action pattern of evangelism, political involve-ment, reconciliation, and redis-tribution. He said in the 1973 Urbana Missions Conference that God is giving them a "New Testament church. It seems the Holy Spirit is restoring to us an understanding of our local church as the replace-ment of Christ's body in a specific neighborhood, drawing people that they might be 'nourished and knit together through joints and ligaments' growing with a `growth that is from God' " (Col. 2:19). As lights to the community, the gifts of the Spirit are manifesting themselves in these individuals— "building up the body of faith into a powerful whole." Praise the Lord that these guerrilla fighters for God are fighting strong through the love and strength of Jesus. Later in the term, the Public Action Committee will be spon-soring a fund-raising activity for John. Perkins' VOC Ministries. This will give Bethel students a chance to show their concern for minority people. Lundquist eulogizes comptroller, Held Graydon Held, comptroller for Bethel College and Seminary for the past ten years, died last Friday of cancer, at the age of 54. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and four children, Che-ryl, Cindy, Graydon Jr., and Gregory, all Bethel students. The following tribute was composed and read by President Carl Lund-quist at Mr. Held's funeral last Monday. * * * * * For Graydon Held Romans 14:12 had a special appropriate-ness: "So then each one shall give account of himself to God." Graydon's life vocation was that of giving account. He was an accountant, and a skilled one. The last decade of his life was spent making the profession of a accounting a service to Jesus Christ on the campus of Bethel College and Seminary. There he was used to debits and credits, to gains and losses, to capital investment and current operations, to ledgers and audits. At the end of each fiscal year he was used to drawing double lines to close off his accounts and submitting them to national audi-tors for review. Always Bethel— and Graydon—passed that test. And now God has summoned him to give account of himself. I was with him many times when he gave account to human. audi-tors. He always had something to say—something good, something pertinent, something construc-tive. He could defend the busi-ness practices of Bethel and his accounting of them. But when he stands before the Great Auditor to give account of himself I'm not sure what Gray-don will say. By nature he was diffident, modest, undemanding. He showed . no ostentation and sought no public notice. I'm not sure that he will report all those night hours he worked, unnoticed and unpaid, out of his concern to get the job done. I'm not sure that he will report his feeling of expendability during Bethel's transition to its new campus and his contentment with any kind of improvised office space. I'm not sure that he will report his deep preoccupation when expenses mounted faster than income that led him to prayer and to personal negotiations with the money lenders. I'm not sure that he will report the patient manner with which he responded to an unceasing call for reports—all of them slightly dif-ferent— to the administration, to the board, to the students, to the faculty, to the denomination, to the bankers, to the government, to the accrediting agencies. I'm not sure that he will report his steadiness when the air was tense, or his optimism when the obstacles seemed insurmounta-ble, or his gentleness when he interacted with his colleagues, or his kindness when he talked about those who appeared un-friendly, or his helpfulness when he answered the requests of students and teachers. While Graydon's professional nature led him to full disclosure about financial transactions, I suspect that his unassuming na-ture would keep him silent about those personal strengths which made him such a beloved figure on the campus. He loved Bethel. And Bethel loved him, too. So, God, what Graydoq proba-bly could never bring himself to say to You we gladly affirm on his behalf. We rejoice that You, by whom all actions are weighed, know Graydon's virtues even better than we. We thank You for giving him to us as a gift of Your Spirit for these past ten years. We thank You for letting us see Christ alive itt a comptroller. We thank You for nudging us to be better persons through Gray-don's quiet example. We thank You for the record of a life as well as the records of a lifetime. Graydon's accounting to You, ultimately, will not rest upon his personal achievements but upon the finished work of Christ upon the cross. But because of what Graydon built upon that we are sure that the work of this accoun-tant will be approved in the final audit and that You will certify upon the first page of his last report: "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master!"

The consultation picks up the theme of a language course conducted by Dr. Donald Larson, professor of linguistics, during January interim in which 16 students taught themselves Greek. Without previous know-ledge of any other language than their mother tongue English, the class was divided into small groups and then given a para-graph in Greek along with its translation for study. Next they received another passage of Greek plus a tape recorded reading of it and began to work out their own translation.

The convention, which will be held in conjuction with that of the NAE (National Associ-ation of Evangelicals), will feature such well-known speakers as Oswald Hoffman and Festo Kivengere. The AAES, which is now affiliated with the NAE, is a representative body for over 25,000 students from 27 evan-gelical colleges and universities throughout the United States. It's major purpose, according to Chairman of the Board Chuck Kern, "lies in its unique design: a forum where Christian schools can come together to combine resources and unite behind an evangelical front that would offer a needed alternative perspective to some of the contemporary issues that face all students today." This is accomplished by taking two primary directions of action, within and without. Within—by projects and services such as a data bank, newsletters, and a national convention to promote better student government and the study of mutual problems. Without—by attempting to un-ify that group to have a significant impact and voice for evangelical students on national issues such as pornography and financial aid cutbacks. Attendance at the conference is encouraged for all those students interested in promoting stronger evangelical student relations. Any further information_ on the sessions, as well as the work-shops, may be obtained from Bobbi Hersch (Treasurer of the Association) or Jim Torgersen (National Public Relations Chair-man). A consultation to explore a new approach to language learning will be held at Bethel, Feb. 24-25, to which professors and students are invited. Guest resource persons are Dr. Earl Stevick of the School of Languages, Foreign Service In-stitute, U.S. Department of State, and Dr. William Smalley, until recently, Translation Consultant with the -United Bible Society.

Apparently it has touched an irritable spot, the college billfold. The first rumors wrought shudders in the hearts of many, and some irate activists went so far as to plot the seizure of the administration building, only to remember in embarrassment that Bethel doesn't have one. When Dean Brushaber first explained the policy to me I scratched down a series of arguments against such a move, but two lengthy conferences with Dr. Nettleton dispelled most of those. Would not this plan discourage extra-curricular 'activities vital to Bethel life? No, I found out, because most of those now involved in such activities are carrying full loads. Won't it hurt students who take courses at the university or other schools? Possibly, but you can't expect Bethel to build its program to encourage study at other schools. I came out at a loss to find any strong arguments against such a policy. I could pose "what about..." questions until Minnesota warms over, but nothing really argues the point effectively. Yet as I pondered further I realized that neither was I convinced of any of the arguments in favor of the new policy. Follow the list of "advantages" to this system as given in Dean Brushaber's statement. It will lower total degree cost. Will it? If "normal degree progress" is an average of 8.5 courses per year, then compare next year's set fee of $2750 to the sum of $2762.50 (8.5 times the would-be per course fee of $325). Is a $12.50 advantage really a solid argument? No extra charge for interim will be made for students enrolled full-time for at least one semester each year. Of course not, because the semester fees are big enough to cover the interim cost. Or, to look at it another way, the money you save on interim is lost in that half credit you aren't taking when you average 8.5 a year (a full load is nine a year). The only financial advantage here is to the student who is enrolled for one of the two semesters, and that is not normal degree progress. Students may take 10 courses per year for the same cost as seven courses. You could also say that students can take seven courses for the cost of 10. The fact is, the cost is worth about 8.5 courses. Why should we argue for the exceptional student who takes 10 courses and against the exceptional student who takes seven? Incidental fees such as student activities and physical education components will be eliminated. But these only total about $20 a year for the normal student. It's nice, I agree, but not much of an advantage, even if you add that $12.50. It may help out students who take private music lessons or such, but we aren't dealing with exceptions, remember. Billing, registration and financial aid procedures will be simplified. That's fine, but I suppose the weight of that argument depends upon how much we value it. To me, it seems a mere "fringe" benefit. Bethel can return to a billing system that is standard in higher education. When did this become important to Bethel, where we spend so much time pointing out our unique aspects? It is also standard in Christian higher education to require chapel attendance. It is standard in secular higher education to disregard lifestyle. Normal degree progress is encouraged. This must be the key. But I have two problems with it. First, the new policy really doesn't encourage the student to take a full load. It discourages him from taking less than a full load. It is a negative rather than a positive incentive, and there is a difference. Secondly, the key question is, why? Why do we want to encourage normal degree progress? Why is it better to take a full load? Why is it better to graduate in four years? May I make it clear, I am not taking a stand for or against this new policy. I'm not sure why we shouldn't change, but neither am I sure we should. I wish someone would make clear what is wrong with the current system. It all seems to hinge on our value of "normal degree progress," as Bethel defines it. Why should we take a full load? Why is it better to finish college in four years? Some clear and concrete answers to these questions would help resolve some of the dissonance.

"We gave them some English words borrowed from Greek and responded with yes or no, correct or incorrect to their own formu-lations of Greek sentences," Mrs. Steward said. "The students got just a small segment of the language, but it was like a tough, sticky little ball that new pieces stuck to. Gradually they discov-ered the rules of the whole." Students themselves were both amazed and thrilled at what they accomplished and at their own language development. "I learn-ed a lot more Greek in a month than I ever expected," one said. Not only did the participants gain knowledge of another langu-age but also of themselves as learners in a new situation. In the same way that Dr. Larson served as an informant in this class situation, international students, he believes, can serve as an untapped resource to Amer-ican students in language learn-ing. "Instead of finding jobs for them in maintenance or the cafeteria," he said, "why not give them campus employment as language specialists in the areas of their skills?" The February 24-25 consulta-tion will explore ways this can be done. Interested observers may call either Dr. Larson or Mrs. Steward at 641-6332 for further information about the sessions. The department of theatre arts will present Arthur Miller's play, "All My Sons," on March 2-4 and 7-11, at 8 p.m. in the experi-mental theatre. This early play of Miller's had a 328 performance run on Broad-way and received the Drama Critics Circle Award for the ,best American play of the 1947 season. The play takes place after World War II and deals with a family burdened with guilt and loneli-ness. Under tremendous emo-tional strain they wrestle with their responsibilities to each other and to the society at large. The play is directed by Assis-tant Professor of Theatre Douglas M. Briggs. His previous produc-tions at Bethel include "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Toad of Toad Hall, "Romeo and Juliet," and this year's "Festival of Christmas." His work has also been seen at Northwestern Col-lege ("The Miracle Worker," "The Sound of Music," "Anasta-sia," and "The Sparrow") as well as in local churches ("The Fable of the Brementown Four"). The box office will accept reser-vations Monday through Friday, 1 to 4 p.m., at 641-6247.

The free concert, conducted by Dr. Robert Berglund, will begin at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 5, at Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Minneapolis. The oratorio, based on scrip-ture, focuses on the life of the apostle Paul, opening with Paul's persecution of Christians, and going through his conversion experience, his commission as a preacher and missionary, and his service for Christ. Mendelssohn gdve the work a very dramatic musical setting, Dr. Berglund describes, adding, "What is more dramatic than Paul's life and his conversion?" "Mendelssohn shows Paul's fervor in the first part," Berglund said, "and shows how Paul turned it around to use it for the Lord." "It is not only exciting musi-cally," the conductor said, "but it is one of the rich spiritual experiences available to us in sacred choral literature. We hope the Bethel community will not only support us with its presence, but come expecting to receive something as well." Dr. Berglund said the oratorio was performed at Bethel by the Festival Choir several years ago and was so well received by the student body that they determin-ed to do it again. Mount Olivet Lutheran seats 2800, but last year's performance of the Brahms' requiem by the same choirs filled the church. Directions for getting to the church will be posted on the music bulletin board across from the music office. by Rick Drake I could tell it was going to be a good concert just by looking at the audience. It was one of those musically literate audiences that only congregate when a great performance is about to happen. There was so much excitement in the air that I could not calm myself enough to read the pro-gram notes. I never did all evening. I went to the Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center last Sunday evening to see and hear the renowned Beaux Arts Trio. The concert was the second of three in the "Three of the World's Great Chamber Music Ensembles" ser-ies co-sponsored with The Schu-bert Club and the New Friends of Chamber Music. Now in its 21st year, the trio has been hailed on four conti-nents, performing more than 3500 concerts throughout North and Chapel Schedule Monday—John Perkins, "Voice of Calvary" ministries Tuesday—John Perkins Wednesday—Rev. Warren - Magnuson Thursday—Roots: Jonathon Edwards—Dr. Piper Friday—Roots: Charles Finney—Dr. Jim Johnson music performance was! When these musicians, each a soloist in his own right, joined forces to perform a single composition, something happened that is far greater than either a solo per-formance or a conducted ensem-ble performance. Not only was there an abundance of solo pas-sages demanding virtuoso tech-nique and musicianship, but there was incredible ensemble achieved, no doubt through years of practice and performance to-gether. Part of the thrill of attending this concert was being part of that audience. The spontaneous out-burst of applause that followed each trio was insufficient means of expressing our enjoyment of each work. Following the Mozart Trio, the applause brought the three performers back onstage two times before they could remain back stage long enough to get the music for the next trio. Following the Ravel Trio, the same gratitude was expressed. However, following the final trio in the program, the Brahms Trio, the audience immediately jumped to its feet for a standing ovation which brought the Beaux Arts Trio out six times before they finally consented to play an encore. One thing is certain—that was not the last chamber music per-formance I will attend. South America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The prize winning ensemble has recorded for Philips all the Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Mendels-sohn, Ravel, Tchaikovsky, Op. 50, Schubert and Dvorak trios. They are at the top of every best-selling classical list throughout the Uni-ted States and Europe. The trio, consisting of Mena-hem Pressler, pianist, Isadore Cohen, violinist, and Bernard Greenhouse, cellist, performed the Trio in B Flat Major, K. 502 by Mozart, the Trio in A Minor by Ravel and the Trio in C Major, Opus 87 by Brahms. The rich and percussive sonorities of the Ravel Trio contrasted the sheer ele-gance of the Mozart Trio and the warm romantic tone of the Brahms Trio. These three trios joined with a single movement of a Dvorak trio, added as an encore, made up a delightful program. How intimate this chamber FALCON HEIGHTS PHARMACY 1 707 N.

One would also have the framework for the Theatre in the Round's latest pro-duction by George Bernard Shaw. "Misalliance" is Shaw's com-mentary on societal class struc-ture; it is much less subtle than "Pygmalion" (but then, what isn't). And for some reason, it is not as well known. One has the play selecting committee of Thea-tre in the Round to thank for bringing it to the state once again. When the house lights are raised for the first intermission an audience member may be inclined to wonder how it will ever be possible to sit through two more acts of such a slow-paced, boring play. But don't lose heart! Not only are they possible to sit through, they are rather enjoyable and incredibly well done. One might even wonder if he had acciden-tally strayed into a different theatre for acts two and three. The first act begins slowly and builds to a near halt. It is mostly expository material which direc-tor Mac Harris has paced much too slowly. There are quite a few redeeming features, though, which tend to make the initial boredom easy to take. Jerry Ion, who plays Bentley Summerhays, a spoiled little rich kid who usu-ally throws a tantrum to get his way, is excellent. The initial scenes with Bentley and Johnny Tarleton, played by Joe Kudla, are enjoyable. The comic timing on both actors' parts is brilliant, if only those- scenes weren't so short! Soon Bentley and Johnny are joined by Michele Delattre as Hypatia Tarleton. Her voice is angelic; it has that rare kind of appealing tone that one could listen to for hours, if only they didn't have to watch her. Her movements throughout the first act are clumsy and lacking in motivation. That trait is also possessed by Harry Baxter, who plays the role of Lord Summerhays. He walks through the entire play with his hands uncomfortably at his side and his eyes nervously shifting towards whatever character hap-pens to be speaking at the time. The initial boredom is really a small price to pay for the sheer enjoyment of the rest of the play. At the end of the first act, a host of interesting characters are in-troduced. Mark Johnson, playing Joey Percival, flies into a green-house along with his passenger Sandra Bucholtz as Lina Szcze-panowska (say horse-church). Both are vivacious and enter-taining. Oscar Backlund as John Tarleton is superb as the father of the house and founder of Tarleton underwear. A high point of the show is the performance given by Mark Kee-ly as Gunner, Be succeeds a number of times in drawing applause for his brilliant timing and line delivery. Micliele, we find, has taken movement lessons during inter-mission and Harry Baxter now has less lines. The pacing picks up and one can relax and enjoy the excellence of the script. The set is well done and the lighting is adequate. The music played before the show and during intermissions is well cho-sen and truly fits the mood of the play. While it's not worth rushing through dinner to make the curtain, it certainly is worth seeing "Misalliance" at Theatre in the Round. by Suzi Wells For all tubing or sliding enthu-siasts, Mt. Zion, located near Bremer Field, is open on Friday and Saturday nights from 7:30 ' p.m. until midnight. Freshman Paul Bjork and Kelly Brandes operate the slopes for 50 cents a night, which includes tube rental and tow rope fee. The dynamite shack, heated with a wood stove, • is also open, com-plete with couches, for no extra charge. The tow rope on the hill operates by car. Freshman Dave Willet sold his 1970 Mercury Montego for the operation. A rope attatched to the rear hub cap of the car runs the rope. The rope includes a safety trip in case of accidents, such as scarfs getting caught under tubes on the way up. Group rates and special times are available. Those with their own tubes or other means of sliding will only be charged 25 cents for the lift. Paul said that jumping contests are part of the fun at the hill. So far, the record jump is 27 feet, held by Kelly Brandes. Another record was set last Saturday—a chain of 14 intertubes. The Campus Coordinators have helped get this new activity underway. With student input, Mt. Zion has potential. "If we start getting a lot of people, we'll put more into it," Paul noted. Mt. Zion will be open for snow activities until the snow melts. by Laura Woodruff The women's track team start-ed their fourth year off with a co-ed triangular meet on Feb. 11. The meet included St. Olaf, who took first by scoring 63 points, followed by the _University of Wisconsin at River Falls with 55 points, and Bethel with only 8 points. The meet was held at St. Olaf. Even though Bethel scored few points, Coach Shirley Dawson was able to say, "I'm satisfied," about the meet. Two Bethel indoor records were set: one by Lynn Severson in the 60-yard dash with a time of 7.38 seconds, and the other was set by Bobbi Hersch when she took fourth place in the 880-yard run with a time of 2 minutes and 29 seconds. With a jump of 16' 3", Bobbi Hersch got second in the long jump. She also placed third in the high jump by jumping 4' 10". Jill Beuckens placed fifth in the 60-yard dash with a time of 8.3 seconds. In the mile run Denise Egge had a 5:35 minute run, and Brenda Harris, a 5:45 minute run, placing them fifth and sixth, respectively. Tami McQuoid's time of 10.15 seconds in the 60-yard hurdles earned her a fourth place. Egge ran 300 yards in 41.9 seconds, placing forth. Brenda Harris ran a 880 in 2:33 minutes; a time that is 3 seconds off the old record. Harris, Hersch, Egge and Rita Glasscock were three-tenths of a second from the indoor record in the mile relay with a time of 4:22.3. Coach Dawson had only ten women running, whereas St. Olaf and River Falls each had twice as many. She feels that River Falls is a top-notch team, and that "St. Olaf is a powerhouse." She considers placing in an event against those teams in an accom-plishment, and that Bethel has started the year off well. Her only complaint is that the team lacks depth, with only fifteen members on the team (she expects about five more women to come out after the basketball season is over). Even though the team lacks depth there is quality. Three runners that competed in regionals last year are on the team again this year. On Friday and Saturday, Feb. 17 and 18, Bethel will compete in the Northwestern open at the University of Minnesota. continued from page eight Bethel was never able to wrestle a full team, which was a contributing factor in many of their losses this season. "It's been a frustrating sea-son," said Coach Dave Klost-reich, "but I have to commend the kids who stuck it out and showed a lot of spirit. We would have had a much better team if all the weight classes had been filled," he added. Six of the wrestlers will see action once more tomorrow at the MIAC conference meet at Concordia- Moorhead. Augsburg is favored in the tournament in which nine other teams are competing. "Our goal is to place as many as we can," said Klostreich, "but lack of experience will make it difficult for some to place." Four places are given out in each weight class. Klostreich feels Gary Peterson has an excellent chance of fin-ishing first or second in the meet, and Lonnie Holmgren will also probably finish high. Teamwise, the coach would be satisfied with finishing in the middle of the nine teams competing. Page 7 Lori Hallquht blocks a shot In a recent home game. Cross-country ski race was an afternoon event of Bethel's annual Sno Daze festivities. Thinclads open season at St. Olaf Tenacious defense, fast break offense aid women to victory by Steve Erickson Employing a tenacious 1-3-1 defense and a fast-break offense, the women's basketball team defeated St. Theresa's 57-27 and Hamline 57-37 last week. These wins stretched its winning streak to five games. On Wednesday, Bethel jumped out to a 19-0 lead before St. Theresa's got its first basket 12 minutes into the game. Numerous fast-break baskets increased the Royal's lead to 34-11 at the half. Things changed little in the second half as Coach Kathy Nevins substituted freely among her players. Although St. Theresa's put together a string of ten straight points, this did not put much of a dent in Bethel's lead. Cindi Ramm led a balanced scoring attack with nine points. On Thursday, the Royals again took a quick lead and stayed on top throughout the contest. They led 35-12 at half time. Hamline attempted a comeback in the second period but was no match for the quicker, taller Bethel team. Ramm and Katie Miller each tallied nine points for the victors. "We were a faster team than both St. Theresa's and Hamline. We were able to run fast breaks and a lot of points were scored off them," said Nevins. "I'm a defensive coach," she continued. "We've kept teams fairly low but in some of the games that we've lost, we haven't scored too many points. The chronic problem we have is turnovers." "I like to win but I also like to be in situations where everyone plays. That's good because we by Jon Fredrickson Last Saturday was the start of the I.M. basketball league that will run until March 11 when the regular season ends and the play-offs begin. The 26 teams that are compet-ing are split into two leagues depending on the ability of the team. The "A" league is called the Stuffs and Swish, the "B" league is called the Hackers and Trippers for obvious reasons. Along with the unusual names for the divisions there are some don't have a junior varsity," said Nevins. Bethel's record is 11-5. Teams in Minnesota ae separated into two districts, the north and south. Bethel is seeded number eight in the north district, the tougher of the two. Tonight the Royals play St. Thomas in the first round of district. If they win on the number one seed, they will play St. Catherine's tomorrow. unusual team names like the Weight Room Woosies, True Grunt, Swedish Fly Girls Revisi-ted, and the Beef Jerky. Last Saturday's action started at 9 a.m. and went until around 2 p.m. The games were watched by small but excited crowds. All the games were close except for the game between the two movies, Star Wars and Swe-dish Fly Girls, where the Fly Girls won by the score of 85-36. Saturdays high scorers were Greg Thom 25, Dave Hepburn 24, Mark Norlander 23, Dave Ekert 22, and Tim Traudt. I.M. basketball teams begin open league season Oles hand cagers eighth MIAC loss by Lisa Mills The men's track team found itself up against some stiff com-petition as they faced River Falls and St. Olaf last Saturday at the St. Olaf meet. St. Olaf took first with a total of 80, River Falls came in with 46, and Bethel just following with 44. A winner in the running events, where Bethel's strength seemed to be, was Nate Allen taking first Page 8 in the 60-yd. dash with a time of 6.4. Nate won the 300 at a time of 32.9, which qualified him for the NAIA indoor meets. Curt Brown won both the 440-yd. run at 51.9 and the 600-yd. run at 1:16.1. Curt qual-ified for the NAIA indoor meets at the Duluth meet two weeks ago. Dave Clapp took second in the 880 in the time of 1:57.7, and ran the 1,000 in a time of 2:16 to qualify him for the NAIA indoor. Bethel also won the mile relay, because St. Olaf was disqualified for stepping out of its lane, at a time of 3:32.2. Coach Gene Glader comment-ed, "We had our strength in the running events, but were very weak in the field events, which hurt us." In stating his expecta-tions for the season, Glader remarked, "If we stay free of injuries we'll do well." He added, "We don't really have the depth we need, but we're cautiously optimistic." by Greg Kuntz The Oles of St. Olaf dominated the boards and handed the Bethel cagers their eighth conference loss against 3 wins, 94-80 at Northfield last Saturday night. "We took more shots than they, did, but they got second shots on the rebounds," said Coach Jim Bragg. The Oles were no slouch at the free-throw line either by sinking .24 of 32. The Royals sunk 12 of 15 for a higher percentage than the hosts. But Bethel, down by only six points with just under a minute to play, was forced to commit several personal fouls to regain possession of the ball. Ole guard Craig Fitzsimmons and forward Bruce Govig paced the winners with 21 and 20 points respectively, while Dave Blanch-ard and "Sugar Ray" Miller poured in 21 and 18 respectively. The game was close most of the first half, but the 6'8" rebound-ing machine of Dave Anderson and Phil Meyers continued to dominate, forcing the Royals to the outside shot. Bethel trailed at the intermission 43-36. Anderson ended up with 17 points, and Meyers scored 16. "St. Olaf didn't look as good as when we played them at home, (another high scoring contest, 99-91) "but their 52-36 edge in the rebounding department coupled with the free throws clobbered us," said Bragg. The Royals will play the Ham-line Pipers at home tomorrow night, and will travel to Augsburg in Minneapolis Monday night to face the Auggies for the second time this season. Both games will begin at 7:30 p.m. Forfeits continue to hamper efforts of Royal grapplers by Carol Madison Bethel wrestling suffered two more losses in their season finale at the Gustavus Triangular last weekend. They were over-whelmed by St. Thomas 46-9, but actually out-wrestled Gustavus in the 32-25 loss to them. Conference contender St. Thomas allowed Bethel only nine points on a pin by Dave Fuller at 118, and a 4-1 decision by Gary Peterson. An 18-point forfeit was the difference in the defeat by Gusta-vus. Jim Schultz and Gary Peter-son both won by falls, and Lonnie Holmgren won his match 18-6. Greg Heinsch wrestled to a 2-2 tie in his match. Bethel wrestled well, but could not make up for the loss in the weight classes that were not filled. continued on page 7 |
