Dan Nelson, financial aid director, plans next year's budget. Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 14 -February 10, 1978 Influential administrators applaud "flat rate" tuition by Shelly Nielsen The administration plans to im-plement a "flat rate" tuition billing system next year. This plan requires each student taking between 3 and 4.5 courses to pay a set fee of $1375 per semester. Interim will be included as part of one semester's payment. The student planning part-time attendance with less than three classes will be faced with a $400 bill for each one-semester course he takes. According to the dean, "normal degree progress," achieved by com-pleting the requirements of 8.5 courses per year, involves 92 per cent of the present student body. This new system operates with this majority in mind. The plan attempts to hold the overall cost of attending Bethel at a minimum. We tried to keep the increase to 3.5 per cent as opposed to a cost of living increase of 6.7 per cent," reported Dean Brushaber. The fixation of a flat rate tuition charge will not ultimately affect the amount of money collected by Bethel. Each year a certain sum must be collected to maintain the operation of the college. The question administrators face is not "How much?" but "How?" The fixed rate, according to Brushaber, is already employed by almost every Christian consortium college and Min-nesotan college. In the opinion of the administration, that answers the query. The system attempts to be fair to the student. It is inevitable that college attendance grows into a more expensive endeavor each year. Cost must go up somewhere. The rise in tuition affects every, student, whereas a massive increase in housing fees would favor the commuting student, the same as drastically altering food service prices would penalize new campus residents while affe-tine Fountain Terrace oc-cupants little, if at all. The minority left in the cold. obviously, is the 6-8 per cent of Bethel's community labeled "part-time." Dean Brushaber admits real-istically that "some people are going to be hurt by this system." Studies, however, reveal that the number of persons enrolled for only one course per semester was not higher than 16. Most of these stu-dents were involved in a "tuition waiver" program as faculty spouses. A maximum of 39 individuals took only two classes. For those most adversely affected by this change, namely seniors with an accumulation of 27 or more course credits by Sept. 1 of 1978, the option to petition for a $325 per course fee will be available. To the few not making "normal degree progress," the system is also meant to serve as a method of motivation. "We're trying to en-by Paul Olsen The results of the food and book cost survey conducted during interim have been tabulated and incorporated into next year's financial aid budget. The budget, which estimates how much a Bethel student will spend during the school year, is used to determine financial aid awards. The estimated budget is subtracted from the amount the student and his parents are expected to contribute. The results is the student's demon-strated need. All Bethel financial aid is based on this demonstrated need. Partly on the basis of the survey, the budget for 1978-79 will be established at around $4750 to $4800, according to Nelson. This includes estimates for books, personal expenses, tuition, and room and board. Transportation costs, from $0 to $500, are computed for each student individually. The survey, which appeared in everyone's P.O. during interim, is the major input for finding food costs, and the only basis for estimating book costs. According to Nelson, the results of the survey were unexpected. In comparison to an identical survey taken two years ago, Bethel students are spending less on food, and more on books. Two years ago a female student on campus spent, on the average, $500 on food. The average outlay for new campus men was $650. Allowing for rising costs, this year's food budget was $750. This year's survey, however, shows that men are spending virtually the same amount as before. This means they are buying less food. Women, on the other hand, are courage stadents to work when they work and study when the study," stated the dean. "To work and study isn't as desirable as we used to think." The program may deter individuals from working and attending school simultaneously. Dean Brushaber as-serted that an extention of the usual four-year program is "not the best psychologically or emotionally" and that "we would like to discourage" those attempting this course. The system, he stressed, is designed as a source of encouragement rather than as a punitive measure. Despite noticeable deficiencies, the "flat rate" program offers a variety of important benefits. Because Bethel is unique in its billing on the "per spending only $479 on food, a significant drop. The paradox, in Nelson's mind, is that while everyone says food prices are too high, people are spending less money than before. This can only mean that people are not eating properly. Nelson's only control over the food situation is the financial aid budget. The results of the survey have negated any possible increases in the food budget and may have prompted a slight decrease. A different situation is the spending figures established for books and supplies. The current budget allows for $175 for such expenditures. The survey shows that this figure is too low. Students expect to spend $215 this year. The books and supplies budget will be raised to $225 next year, as a result. Next year's tentative budget breaks down as follows: books, $225; per-sonal expenses, $450; tuition, $2750- $2800 (tentative); and room and board, $1325-$1375 (tentative). course" basis, prospective students and transfers have no effective way of comparing costs here with those of other institutions. Revising this system would alleviate the difficulty. Only $75 extra per quarter course will be charged when a student desires classes over the 4.5 limit. These, along with financial advan-tages, make the flat rate proposal favorable to many. To the tide of recent and deter-mined criticism voiced by various members of Bethel's community, Dean Brushaber responds that "noth-ing is beyond the reach of good arguments." For now, however, this new method of billing remains in good repute among influential admin-istrators at Bethel. This $4750-$4850 total, which does not include transportation, compares to $4500-$4600 this year. Because of the major budget de-cisions relying on it, the survey was important. Nelson believes that it was relatively accurate with more weight placed on the new campus results because those residents have the best idea of actual money spent. Approximately 37 per cent of the 1300 students at interim returned the survey. Nelson considers this a good response. Over half of the women respond-ents added complaints about the food system. Most of them disliked the required minimum food card pur-chase. One man wanted the minimum raised because he claims the food card black market is not as profitable as it used to be. He says more food cards would lower their resale value—just what the hungry male needs. Possible future financial develop-ments include a return to a flat-fee tuition and revised food payment system. There are no official develop-ments concerning either as yet. Interim food and book survey tabulated, incorporated into budget On the inside...

Total costs for full-time students will be approximately 3.2 per cent more. In raw figures it is a slight jump from $4,625 to $4,775 for the 1978-79 school year. The logistics and extended figures for all of this can be found in the article on page one. There is a real secret out, however. Students learned for the first time this past week that the tuition system itself has been revised. Tuition for the 1978-79 school year will be charged on a flat rate in place of the present "per course" basis now in effect. The pros and cons of the new system will not be addressed here. Even if the tuition changes are totally agreeable to students (which they are not) this deci-sion behind closed doors is a symptom of a greater illness that cripples the rela-tionship between students and administration at Bethel—secrecy. At a Student Senate meeting last Tuesday, Dr. Mack Nettleton, director for student affairs, and Dan Nelson, director of financial aid, told an ill-informed and consequently ill-prepared group of senators and concerned students, that the decision to go to the flat rate was an administrative decision, and that students have no inherent right to a priori say in the matter. The meeting was called to clarify logistic, not ethical, questions. Student Association President Tad Johnson knew last November that a new tuition scale was being considered, but he was told not to discuss it with anyone. He met with administrators to "discuss" the issue but quickly surmised that his original input was not being solicited. The sessions were just to answer typical objections he might raise to a decision that was already under way. Just last Tuesday evening Dean George Brushaber released an announcement of the change, its implications, and the rationale behind it. It was well thought-out, reasonable, articulate, and specific. But a recurring thought during a reading of it was, "All this was developed to such finality without input from a single student?" Is it a wonder the Student Senate is coping with an identity crisis this week? How long can students be patronized by token representation? Who draws the lines between what are "administrative" and cooperative decisions, and if that is an arbitrary distinction, how can we ever believe in our action enough to be anything less than apathetic? Is it ethical to ask the student body president not to release information he believes is pertinent to the students who elected him? Even if it is strictly an "ad-ministrative" decision in progress, why can't we know about it? This same type of policy is employed year after year by the Bethel admini-stration. When they eventually do release their decisions, it is too late to pro-vide any student input to make changes. Last semester it was the old campus sale. When the administration finally did reveal a statement on the matter, it was after the fact. For some reason they thought their secrecy was necessary, but never did reveal why. The same situation arises with each year's enrollment figures. When the ad-ministration eventually reveals the figures, it is usually after false rumors have been roaming the hallowed halls of Bethel for more than a month. When the figures are released, students are disillusioned by the administration's idle pro-mises that enrollment figures will rise insignificantly the next year. Such was the case last year when the Board of Regents set the enrollment figure at 1825 for this year. The real figure was 1867 as of September, 1977. The issue we are pressing here is not only administrative secrecy, but also ad-ministrative integrity. When it fails to answer student queries on topics dealing with the students' future plans, its integrity is questioned. When it approaches the student with an ultimatum rather than an option, its integrity is questioned. When it does something that is somewhat distorted of what it originally told the student body (i.e enrollment increases), its integrity is questioned. We are not condemning the flat rate plan in this editorial. But rather we are condemning the manner in which the administration shoves their newly formed policy down our sore and lumpy throats. The lump is getting larger every day, and eventually it will not yield another swallow. The Student Senate is sponsoring an open forum for all those interested in discussing the pros and cons of the flat rate system with selected members of the administration. The forum will be held in the AC lounge on Monday, Feb. 13, beginning at 3:30 p.m. Mack Nettleton and Dan Nelson will represent the administration at this meeting, with the possibility of Dean George Brushaber also entering the discussion. Please plan to be there. Ramos refutes editorial, defends cartoon Dear editor, In response to the editorial in the last Clarion regarding my blas-phemous cartoon, I technically should reply illustratively with a cartoon of the writer concerned walking pain-fully in a pair of Bob Moder's shoes...but that would be distasteful. Instead I have chosen to lock horns literarily. There are two reasons for the materialization of my nasty cartoon. 1) The Clarion survey results showed that my cartoons were not con-troversial enough according to the consensus of Bethel students sur-veyed. I took this information with a grain of salt. It is my responsibility to be responsive to the Clarion readers, so if it was controversy that they wanted, it was controversy that they were going to get. 2) I was encouraged by people and by anonymous notes in my P.O. to do a political cartoon. With the exception of the dragged-out "sale of old campus" theme, Bethel College does not exactly seethe with juicy political issues. Again (with two old campus cartoons to my credit) I was stuck with the exception. I must confess at this point that my idea for this particular cartoon was not an original one. It was sparked by a political cartoon I had seen in the Minneapolis Tribune. It depicted an aide for Governor Perpich stumbling into the Governor's office tarred and feathered, much to the Governor's horror. The aide had just returned from a visit to the Como-Falcon Heights Community Coalition as the Gover-nor's representative. He admonished his honor to cancel his plans to make a visit to the coalition in person. One reason for Ms. Schmiess's indignant response to my cartoon is her obvious lack of knowledge of what caricature is. I will not create my own definition but instead will refer to Mr. Webster's definition. He defines a caricature as "A picture or verbal expression that ludicrously exaggerates the charact-teristics of the thing depicted." That gives me more freedom than literary expression. If in fact my cartoon was an "incomplete" and "misleading ex-pression," and "several of the Clarion staff doubted that the cartoon qualified for the editorial page," then why in the world was it printed in the first place? I challenge Ms. Schmiess to show me a political cartoon that truthfully, much less tastefully depicts its sub-ject. I also suggest she re-examine her definition of "editorial integrity," as I for one do not see where "bias" has its place in sound journalism. If bias can be "well-grounded" and "tastefully expressed," so can other vices such as adultery and murder. Ms. Schmiess had no business taking it upon herself to publicly apologize on my behalf to the Como- Falcon Heights Community Coalition. I found that particular action totally out of line. I will personally apologize for my own mistakes, if I feel an apology is necessary. Since no one from the Como-Falcon Heights Community Coalition has contacted me personally and de-manded an apology, then I do not feel one is in order. Should Herbert Block, the re-spected and nationally-renown pol-itical cartoonist apologize to Richard Nixon for giving him an outlandish nose and suspiciously beady eyes in so many of his unflattering cartoons? An apology may be in order to the Bethel student body of being accused of something that I was solely responsible for. In the future I suggest Ms. Schmiess direct her editorials to the source, excluding the innocent. I do however, thank her for the attention she has brought upon my cartoon. It must have been worth something if she seriously thinks that it has the potential to jeopardize the efforts of a coalition that is presently rebelling against the federal gov-ernment. In conclusion I suggest Ms. Schmiess walk a couple of miles in the shoes of the potential Job Corp applicant who is honestly trying to gain or regain a place of respect and worth in society. Apparently that is a story that rates of little significance according to her concept of editorial integrity. Juan Ramos Recipient responds to 'scrapping' of Social Security Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the editorial on scrapping the Social Security System in the Jan. 13 Clarion. I am obliged to reply because the writer, although correct in many of his or her points, has neglected to mention all of what the program offers, and who it touches. The editorialist dealt with Social Security merely as a government-run pension plan. It is a good deal more than that, buster. When I was 13, my father died of a heart attack, leaving a dependent family of a wife and two boys, both of whom were still living at home and attended public schools. My mother received Social Security for herself (up to a short point), for my older brother (until he reached the ripe old age of 18), and for myself. This money was essential at that extra time and the years immediately following, relieving us of an extra burden. When someone is in the situation that I was (and am) in, Social Security benefits continue until you reach the age of 18, or the state's age of legal adulthood. Up to that point the monthly checks came in and name of your parent or guardian. If you continue school after your 18 birthday, your monthly checks con-tinue. However, if at any time between the ages of 18 and 22, you stop attending school, benefits cease. (They stop no matter what after you become 22.) My brother did not continue his education. This padded my checks, which of course all came from money my father had paid in taxes. I receive about $271.50 per month, and I pay my room and board (I live at home) with the $71.50. If it were not for this "dead end policy" I would not be able to go to Bethel, and indeed be hard-pressed to pay for any post-secondary school of good quality. I have a part-time job, and I have held it for almost two years. That money is also necessary for college tuition and books, not to mention automobile gas and insurance. My job. money supplements both my car and college accounts at the bank, but my Social Security plus a job still does not mean that it's easy to make financial ends meet. Under Social Security, I can only earn $3000 or less in my gross annual income. If I gross more than that (which I did in 1977 due to paid 15 minute continued on page 5 Page 2 .40111111111111RETESi District Court Judge Joseph Summers entertained a convocation audience on Tuesday with his wit and wisdom.

Do you sneer at this revered name? There was a time in my naive youth that I, too, scorned the man's theor-ies. "When I was a child..." I discovered the concepts of Freudi-an thought in high school. I was outraged by this nut's appli-cation of warped thought to unques-tionably "moral" literature. The guy made Hamlet something only a few degrees above a pervert. No cracked psychoanalyst could make me buy theories that turned Larry Olivier's character into a crazed, monomaniacal beast. Jack the Ripper's personality seemed as mild as Beetle Bailey's in comparison. W.A.R., the "Norton Anthology of British Literature," and a few "deep" coffee shop conversations have har-dened and aged me quickly. Having developed the cynicism necessary to graduate with a concentration in liter-ature, my intolerance toward percep-tive Freudian concepts withered along with ignorance. I accept Sigmund Freud, a sick Hamlet, and the Oedipal complex. And I'm proud of it! My only question is, "With all this modern-day emphasis on honesty, truth, and insight, why has certain significant literature been left so superstitiously untouched?" What are critics afraid of when they refuse to examine specific works of art? Are they leery of offending a close-minded public? Of disappoint. ing trusting children? Well, here is one analyst willing to brave opposition and courageously present the obvious: Freudian con-cepts are inherent within the deceiv-ingly simple tale of Little Red Riding Hood. It is a story that has cried, yes, cried, to be told the way it was meant to be interpreted. My investigation developed into such in-depth proportions that I will include discoveries followers will not recognize as Freudian. This is all part of detailed, thorough study. Let's begin with the basics of the story. Our setting is the usual folk-tale forest, a scene notorious for its complex implications. I won't delve into the intricacies of symbolism evi-dent here, except to state that forests are infamous in Freudian analyses and highly significant. It is in this veritable jungle of underlying connotations that readers are first introduced to the supposedly innocent goodie-lugger, Little Red Riding Hood. She is our main character, and her facade of sweet little girlhood is re-markably transparent. Beneath her obedient reply, "Yes, mother," to the request to take refreshments to a sick grandparent is a shrewd mind. A clue to her character is revealed by the significant hue of her clothing. Red! Aha! Who but this girl in red would go tripping fearlessly through the woods—presumably near dusk—with no more protection than • a sharp-edged wicker basket and a small mace can in her pocket? Not me, boy! Little Red knew what she was doing, all right. If the hood had been green—tradi-tionally associated with naivete—or blue, symbolic of melancholy, this questioning of the character's charac-ter would be kaput. She, however, insisted on blatantly wearing scarlet. Tsk, tsk, fairy tale fans, you mean you never noticed? An important confrontation occurs when the antagonist, the wolf, leaps out from behind a clump of skunk cab-bage, eliciting a startled scream and an involuntary fumble toward the mace from L.R.R.H. Note the author's choice of animals to portray this rogue: not a squirrel or a rabbit, but a wolf! Catch the signifi-cance there? His ravenous appetite for "good-ies" spurs him to race our not-so-in-nocent innocent to Granny's cottage. Any interior in Freudian literature may safely be associated with a womb image. Thus, the cabin at the edge of the woods becomes a symbolic, pro-tective haven. (This, incidentally, leads the per-ceptive reader to discover the numer-ous secondary meanings behind other objects. A comprehensive list of womb symbols in this complex folk tale would include: Little R.R. Hood's basket, her apron pocket, the knot hole in the fourth tree on the path, and the chocolate eclairs taken to Grandma.) Due to a scarcity of space, the full Freudian implications beneath "good-ies," hand made quilts, and silver hat pins can not be thoroughly investigat-ed here. I will conclude, instead, with a dis-cussion of the character of the woods-man who draws the story to a dramatic close by hacking the wolf to pieces right in front of the Hood's horrified, bulging eyes. He is symbolic of the individual who will protect the young and innocent, but for selfish and objectionable rea-sons. His suddenly apparent motive for defending Miss Hood is to overtake by Dave Terpstra There is a counseling service at Bethel which probably few people know about. It began with just the Dean of Students and the various R.A.'s on campus. However, this service has now expanded to include three profes-sionals— Dr. Webster Muck, Dr. David Anderson, and Shirley 01- seen—and campus Pastor James Spickelmier. Its purpose is to help all registered students clear up their problems. Such things as depression, personal and academic problems, relations with others, and vocational choices are a few of the areas these people deal with. Just because this is a Christian the wolf's position and become the eager recipient of her compliments: "What big eyes you have!" It is obvious that the villain was not completely gratified by proving his macho chopping defenseless trees. He sought satisfaction elsewhere—in the attentions of a red-hooded flatter-er. See how elements lying on the surface of literature can be overlooked because of ignorant prejudice and bias? The educated college student should remain open to new concepts and truths as obvious as those stated in the above documentary. An investi-gatory, probing nature will reveal to you facts as stimulating as the ones I have uncovered. As a new student to this methodolo-gy, you will be astounded and delighted to find Freud in the most unlikely sources! Take the Clarion for example... college does not mean that Christians are excluded from these and other types of problems. On the contrary, it is more difficult, since there is the spiritual involvement that everyone here encounters each day. These problems need to be dealt with by such capable people as those mentioned above. Rev. Spickelmier mainly handles spiritual counseling, along with other related matters. But the other three are open to all types of difficulties. "With three of us, it give students a choice," said Dr. Muck. "We teach, so then our faces become familiar, too." Dr. Anderson pointed out that students can come to see Dr. Muck if they prefer the "fatherly figure," or him if they can relate to someone of about the same age, or they can see Mrs. Olseen if they like to talk to a woman instead of a man. Because of the fact that Dr. Muck plans to resign as the chairman of the psychology department, that will al-low him more time for the counseling service, although he still will teach here. He feels the challenge is great and that this is more what he should do. The principle reason the traffic has been so light going through their doors is that people feel fearful of being counseled. There exists a stigma in many persons' minds about being counseled. However, all three of them said they would welcome even the most seemingly minute problems or frustrations in one's life. Since there is such a great need on campus for a counseling service, all three of them spend anywhere from 10-20 hours per week doing this. If you wish to contact them for an appointment, they have asked that you go through Karen Hauck in AC 336 and she will set up an appoint-ment. As Dr. Muck said, "The counseling service is open to suggestions on effectiveness and on how it should be used." But the best part of it is that it is free! `Little Red' submits to Freudian analysis service available Faculty offers counseling on complimentary basis Page 3 The Imperials, a well-known Gospel-group, will be singing at Bethel tonight at 8 p.m..

The world can laugh at ow morality and our habits, but they can't laugh at our hope. They envy the meaning that we find in our lives through Christ. The tragedy is that many Christians don't believe that. Most of us don't see ourselves as being too unique. We are exhorted to be lights in the darkness, but that can easily be laughed off. Last summer I worked at what many would consider to be one of the most depressing places in the world, a maximum security psychiatric unit. The time there seemed to be a concentrated experience of all of the world's problems. It was easy to see the darkness. I also saw very clearly that I have, as does a Christian in any field, an ability to give the people around me a sense of Christ's hope if I just let myself be honest with them. We have to begin to realize how unique and wonderful this saving hope is. I'm not a psychologist, perhaps it is not my place to make judgements, but I saw the people in the psychiatric unit give up on reality. Sure, there are a hundred individual intangibles in anyone's route to a breakdown, but I saw that each individual found only stress and frustration in their everyday existence, and were without the resources to find hope. No matter the amount of drugs we pumped into them or the number of times we zapped with Electroshock Therapy, if they didn't want to face reality they weren't going to. Without hope in their lives they couldn't find any meaning. In an environment like that it wasn't long before I really had to come to grips with myself. With so many people leading lives what was so special about my hope? With so many people leading meaningless lives was there anything special about the meaning in my life? That place was really rough on a person. By the end of the summer you couldn't tell the patients from the staff without a scorecard. Whenever the phrase "search for meaning" pops into the conversation things usually get very complicated. Bethel even has a class by that title this semester. For me the attempt to find meaning in and of myself has always ended in despair. In trying to find meaning in my selfishness it isn't long before I become fatalistic. All relationships, all accomplishments eventually crumble and die. Thomas Merton said, "Ultimately the only way that I can be myself is to become identified with Him in Whom is hidden the reason and fulfillment of my existence." Life's meaning revolves in a more mundane way around our vocational choices. Seniors have a special need to reaffirm this hope that Christ gives and to realize how affective they can be as lights. Robert Leslie in his book "Jesus and Logotherapy" writes that "rather than asking what the meaning in life is, the more appropriate question is to ask what task God has in store for any one individual. In what way can I, being the person I am, with the unique set of talents and experiences that I have, fulfill the tasks that are waiting for me to undertake in God's world?" by Thangi Chhangte "I have become known as the guy who works with sex offenders," Dr. Thomas Correll remarked jokingly. He was referring to his recent research in designing treatment for sex offenders. Dr. Correll, chairman of the anth-ropology department, during the 1976-77 academic year worked as the research dirctor for the Correctional Service of Minnesota, a private agency. The agency is oriented towards research, education and community action in criminal justice and cor-rections. Richard Ericson, a part-time teacher at Bethel, is the executive director of the agency. The term "sexual offence" in-cludes: rape, incest, child mole-station, and indecent exposure. In Minnesota, adult sex offenders are convicted in accordance with the Criminal Sexual Conduct Law. Two interesting aspects emerged out of this research. First of all, many sex offenders have been sexually abused as children and they re-enact their experiences. This is know as the victim cycle. Secondly, the offenders had very low self-esteem. They also had in-adequate social skills, especially in their heterosexual behavior. Fre-quently, they were also alcoholics. The research focused on two major parts. The first part of the research was to determine the number, as well as the characteristics of sexual of-fenders in Minnesota. The second part was to find out what is being done to treat them in the U.S. and around the world. According to this research, 620 men were convicted of sexual offence in Minnesota, during 1976. Men in the 20 to 30 age range were the most frequent offenders, though there were some who were in their 60's. Tom and his colleagues worked mostly with clinical psychologists. increasingly aware of the strengths They also systematically interviewed and weaknesses of the U.S. criminal the police, the offenders, and court justice system. and corrections personnel.

Raspberry Monday exhibit displays selective pieces I Johnson/Carlson I by Tad Johnson It is the beginning of second semester and time to start gearing-up for next year. First, applications for the Campus Coordinators position for the 1978-79 school year are now open. Job descriptions and applications are available in the Student Senate office (FA 301), and the deadline for turning them in is March 1. The Campus Coordinator positions are stipended. Applications are being opened up a month ahead of last year so that the new Campus Coordinators will be able to work with the current Coordinators for the rest of the school year. This will help ease the transition and make next year's programs more successful. Secondly, applications for the media chief positions are also available in the Senate office. These positions include Coevel editor, Clarion editor, Passages editor, and the Roster coordinator. All of the positions are stipended, and applications will be open until the end of the month. I would encourage-anyone who is even slightly interested in these positions to apply. The experince now of being an editor will go a long way in the business world. There is also a freshman senator position open. Any freshman interested in the position should come to the Senate office and pick up an application. The appointment shall run until the end of the current term, which is April 1. I would like to thank everyone, especially the members of the Public Action Committee, who either helped with or participated in the volleyball marathon. The final score of the marathon was: new campus 1888, non-new campus 2023. Pledges for the marathon totalled $792.62. The money collected from the marathon and from the Love Loaves will be sent through World Vision to a medical missionary in Peru where it will be used to start an immunization program among the people there. Thanks again for your donations and participation in the marathon. Today and tomorrow, Feb. 10 and 11, Tannie Woods and I will be attending a meeting of the Minnesota Association of Private College Students (MAPCS) at Augsburg College. The MAPCS organization concerns itself mainly with problems common to all private colleges in Minnesota. It retains a student intern at the State Legislature for lobbying on issues dealing with private college students. Topics to be presented this weekend are "The Status of Liberal Arts in Minnesota" and "Campus Security." I hope that these topics will help our student government here at Bethel to function better and come up with more ideas to help improve the student life here. Coming up later in the month is the national convention of the American Association of Evangelical Students to be held at the Radisson South on February 20-23. Jim Torgerson and Bobbi Hersch have put in many hours arranging the accomodations and contacting the speakers. This convention is very important and will help estalblish Bethel's student body as a leader among Christian colleges. Debators anticipate refinement in wake of preparatory work by Terri Hanson It was one of those sunny summer Mondays thaf simply beg people to be out of doors, and Anonymous #1 and #2 were. In fact, Anonymous #1 and #2 were outside picking raspberries trying to devise a name of the $250 award and medallian they would donate to one Bethel student each year. Suddenly, they had a bright idea—they would call it the Raspberry Monday competition! Although the story may seem rather far-fetched, Raspberry Monday actu-ally came into existence—and just that way according to Stu Luckman. The exhibit opened Monday after-noon, Feb. 6, at 3 p.m. The usual punch, raspberry of course, was served with donuts, as students, faculty and friends worked their way through the various exhibits which ranged anywhere from bold batiks to earthen stoneware. The contestants for the Raspberry Monday competition are all Bethel art students. They may enter any work they have completed in the last year or so, either in a classroom setting or individually. The art department faculty may also select a work of art they have seen a student working on to be in the show. Because of the volume of art work received and the lack of space available, the faculty is very selective about the pieces that enter the competition. Hence, there are always a few "Raspberry Monday Rejects" as Dawn Eggen, a senior art education major, put it. The big question, of course, is which student will win the $250 award (toward his tuition) and the medal-lion? The award is given annually by two anonymous donors, on the basis of his work leadership role in the art department, his general contribution as a student as well as the work he has entered. This year a big moment came a few minutes 'after 4 p.m. when Diane Sprague Smith was announced the winner out of the 60 some students that entered. Diane, a sophomore, had entered several pieces of stone-ware, paintings and pastels. The Raspberry Monday exhibit will be on display in the second floor art gallery until Feb. 24. "Decision 1978" is an opportunity for juniors and seniors to learn more about knowing God's will in making life decisions. It's also a time to discover the possibilities of a future with Campus Crusade for Christ. Pat Means, United States Field Director for CCC, will be the featured speaker at this weekend conference at the Radisson in Duluth. The first ses-sion is at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, and the last is Sunday at 11 a.m. Including the $5 registration fee per person, the cost is $29 for singles, $83 for a married couple. Except for a by Holly Schmless "This semester we have a real chance to grow as a team because the prep work is done. Now the refining takes place," debater Mike Emerson said after three consecutive weekend tournaments, two of which were varsity level for him and his partner, Scott Larson. After almost a month's vacation, three Bethel teams competed in a regional tourney at LaCrosse the weekend of Jan. 21. Larson and Emerson came away from their first major efforts in the varsity division, winning five rounds and losing their first and only to the University of Eau Claire in quarter finals. In junior varsity, Scott Palmquist and Ira King tallied a four and two record while Mark Ludwig and Bruce Anthony took one of six. The next weekend, Larson and Emerson traveled with Macalester's teams to one of the biggest meets in the country, at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. They competed on the junior varsity level and, with a four and four earning, rated middle ground among the 85 teams participa-ting in that division. Emerson was disappointed they continued from page 2 breaks I took too many of) I have to pay the office a certain amount of money back, or money is propor-tionately deducted from my 1978 checks, I'm not quite sure which yet. At any rate, I am far from rich due to these benefits. As an additional thought on the editorial, the writer said that without Social Security taking out some 6 per cent of one's paycheck, it could be banked for an individual pension fund. _ -_- I think this is highly unlikely because when you give Americans money like that, it is going to be spent, not saved, in more cases than not. The average resident is not all that swift. I am no judge, but throughout my experiences with people I have received that particular impression. But my most important point is still the same: I need Social Security. There's more to it than meets the economy. Richard Lanford banquet, you will be on your own for meals.

Hope to hear from you! hadn't compiled a six and two, attributing it to "close rounds we thought we'd won, but didn't because of questionable criteria for deci-sions." He and Larson competed against teams from the Universities of Kansas, Montana, California at River-side, Arizona State University, Colo-rado College, and the Air Force Academy. At a regional tournament hosted by the University of Iowa last weekend, Emerson and Larson chose to resume varsity competition and won a four and two combination, beat by Ma-calester's number one team in quarter finals. - In the junior varsity division, An-thony and Ludwig won four rounds and lost two. King and Palmquist claimed one out of six. Bethel debaters face their next competition in two weeks at an invitational in Lincoln, Neb., and the following weekend at the University of Southern Connecticut. Both events are large and prestigious. "You know the competition will be good. Schools don't fly their teams unless they're tough," Emerson said, explaining why he prefers the bigger meets. Emerson considers Macalester to be Bethel's most constant and elusive rival, ranking them with Harvard, Georgetown, and USC, among the nation's top teams. "We've come close to beating them, though," he said cautiously. Although Emerson said Bethel has some of the most extensive compiled data of all junior varsity teams in the country, he admitted the need for more research in fine negative points of the resolution. Emerson also recognized that he and Larson need to polish the varsity techniques they're just lately en-countering. Assistant Coach Bill Fraatz received due credit. "Scott and I are doing more varsity debate than Bill and Jo (Beld) did that last two years," said Emerson, "but it's only because of Bill's junior varsity experience and success."

Music greatest weakness in "Devil's Disciple" premiere by Holly Schmiess A musical is like a highly tempermental chemical compound. If the elements blend in the right balance, POOF! If they don't, well, back to the drawing board. Lyricist Warren Frost and com-poser David Karr are probably there now reworking "The Devil's Disciple," Chimera's musical version of the George Bernard Shaw play. The equation just didn't balance. It's hard to improve on a Shaw play, with its delicate blend of wit, state-ment, and rich characterization. Maybe it's because of this uncon-tested esteem that Frost and Karr chose a Shaw play—a built-in success factor. But they invited high expectations, and failed to meet them with music and script of equal, independent quality. Music composition was the weakest element. There's an important dif-ference between simple and simplis-tic. Musical hits are hauntingly sim-ple, but simplistic motifs and rhythms end up in grade school Christmas pageantry. No song in "The Devil's Disciple" was so enchanting that you hummed it or wanted to hear it again in the reprise. Chimera's adaptation stripped the subtlety from Shaw's characters. They were past being representative of universal types, and neared being stock. Again, the music was at fault. Solos that should have captured the unique essence of each character rehashed themes and personality traits of mar-quis- full of musical greats. For example, one could practically visualize the yellow brick road as the innocent, dreamy Essie sang "Somewhere, Out There." They were all there—Dorothy, Harold H11, Cinderella's stepmother, Henry Hig-gins, Lizzie Currie. There were definitely original elements. The English soldiers, led by the genteel General Burgoyne and Sargent (Bruce Bohne) were delight-ful and stole much of the show from the disciple himself, who displayed an almost careless ease in one more title role. Much of the show's true innovation happened in the tech area. Scene changes were maneuvered in the mid-dle of 1776 musket sally, scurrying and hapless minutemen, and austerely posed Redcoats. Successfully distrac-ting! The sets themselves, especially the trees, showed clever design and con-struction. Shame on the costume department, though for some glaring anachronisms, especially in the women's dresses. There was a notable lack of dance and full-fledged spectacle that used the entire chorus. The choreographer and orchestration missed some good opportunities to collaborate. It's fun to see a musical premiere and project what revisions will be made when the show closes. I'd sug-gest "The Devil's Disciple" to anyone who wants to wrestle, in the words of the director, "with a strange and won-drous beast—creativity." by Brad Lewis On Monday, Wednesday, or Fri-day, from 4 to 4:30 p.m., if you walk through the music lounge, you may see a group gathered around snap-shots. The group is Bethel College Concert Band members reminiscing about their recent interim tour to California and the Southwest. The 60-member band, under the direction of Dr. Julius Whitinger, spent 23 days of January travelling through 16 states presenting 25 concerts to hundreds of people. The band played a variety of sacred and secular music in the Baptist General Conference churches and the high schools it visited. The music of the band as well as its testimony of dedication to the Lord was well-received. The audiences showed their gratitude to the band with the highest form of American compliment; the band received stand-ing ovations at all but three of their concerts. The band members heard praise of r their musical performances and com-municated the appearance of a light-hearted and fun-loving group of Christian young people. Most of the musicians also part-icipated in an interim course taught on the tour by Dale Johnson, associate professor of art. The course, "Art and Culture of the American West," found the students visiting numerous museums and exhibits. A goal of the course was to teach students to develop a sense of visual literacy. Students found that task easy after viewing several Rembrandt paintings and the famous Towers of Simon Rodia in Watts. As well as tours of museums, band members enjoyed viewing the Grand Canyon, screaming at Disneyland, touring Universal Studios, wading in the Pacific, riding cable cars and dining at Fisherman's Wharf. The tour was arranged by manager Brad Johnson and Bethel's director of outreach Jay Caress. They were assisted by the two tour bus drivers from Greyhound, George Blackburn and Gary Bond. Two members of the band were soloists, Joe Cosgrove, trumpeter, and Ken Vork, trombonist. Andy Ross accompanied the band on tour to serve as narrator. Ken Vork is also the assistant conductor of the band. The band presented their first homecoming concert at Edina Baptist Church last Sunday and will present their final homecoming concert of sacred music Sunday, Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church in Roseville.

CORNELIUS JEWELERS 300 Physicians & Surgeons Bldg. 9th & Nicollet — Minneapolis Phone (612) 335-6940 Director of Alumni Affairs seeks to unite students, alumni by Laura Woodruff The first week of the second semester might have been lose or draw for some, but for the women's basketball team it was win. On Thursday, Feb. 2, they beat Carleton with a 57 to 33 score. Saturday, Feb. 4, they scored 70 points to Northwestern's 42, which brought the win-loss record up to 8-5. In the game against Carleton a 1-3-1 defense zone was used to contain Carleton's key player, Mad-eline McAfee, and Bethel was suc-cessful. "I was impressed with our defense," commented Coach Kathy Nevins. The half-time score was 28-16, Bethel. In the second half Bethel pulled even further ahead allowing Coach Nevins to use all the players from the bench. Cheryl Luiken was high scorer with 11 points, followed by Joann Griffin with 8. On Feb. 6 Bethel got an opportunity to practice handling a running game when they played the short but speedy Northwestern team. The score would indicate that they handled it well, even though Cheryl Luiken and Liz Hoist stayed home with the flu. Coach Nevins had few regrets, but she felt that more rebounds could have been made, and the mistakes that added up to 23 fouls should not have been made. Katie Miller came off the bench with an injured foot to score 24 points for the day's high. Joann Griffin scored 16 points which were matched by Holly Roehl's 16 from Northwes-tern. Bethel's Cindy Ramm had 11 points. Nevins can see much improvement in her freshman players and men-tioned that Deb Sension has been doing well in her first year of competitive basketball. The team is looking forward to a tough Valentine's Day game on Tuesday against St. Olaf. Nevins feels that Bethel can win if they play as well as they are capable of playing, and that a large crowd could do nothing but help. I Teachers at all levels Foreign and Domestic Teachers Box 1963 Vancouver, Wash. 98660 by Betty Logan As director of alumni affairs, Curt Fauth is working on ways to bridge the gap between students and alumni. He believes the Alumni Office doesn't use Bethel students to dis-cover what the students want from the student-alumnus relationship. "Bethel is here for the student," says Fauth. He goes on to express dis-couragement that the only alumni input the student usually sees is financial. Fauth would like to know how stu-dents think they can make better use of the alumni resources. "You need to tell us how we can best serve you and your school," comments Fauth. "Can we provide our expertise, or experiences? What would students like? Two student-alumnus programs the Alumni Office hopes to initiate are employment experience and student recruitment. Fauth would like to implement a program that would allow students to observe and participate in a work situation of career possibilities with an alumnus in that vocation. Student recruitment is presently the responsibility of the College Rela-tions Office, with the Alumni Office cooperation wherever it can. With more student and alumni help, Fauth feels it could become much more effective. The office hopes to discover both student and alumni reasons for continued from page 8 Bethel "a much improved team" since the last time these two teams played and Bethel Coach Jim Bragg agreed. "Defensively we are starting to play. And if we would have rebounded like this, we would have beat Macalester," he said referring to the 76-66 loss earlier in the week. "I bleed for the guys that they can't seem to beat anyone. Gustavus played a heckava game," said Bragg. The Gusties upped their record to 6-4 in conference. The loss dropped Bethel to 2-7 in MIAC and 5-9 overall. The Royals travel to Northfield tomorrow to take on St. Olaf at 7:30 p.m. Monday they play at home against the MIAC leaders, St. John's also at 7:30 p.m. attending Bethel, and then find better recruitment methods. Since half of all alumni attended Bethel after 1965, the age difference between students and alumni is consi-derably narrow compared with most older colleges. Fauth feels the ideals these similar age groups have in common is another factor that should ally Bethel alumni and present students. Fauth knows from experience how the student-turned-alumnus feels. "They're after me for my money," is the predominant thought. Though not wanting to underplay the financial help the alumni do give to Bethel, Fauth feels that alumni re-sources other than monetary should by Lisa Mills This year something new was added for the student who starts Bethel at mid-year. Welcome Week activities were held last week for all new transfer and readmit students. Co-chairmen Nan Goss and. George Beyer headed • up a well-organized staff of nine Welcome Week workers. Nan remarked, "George was a transfer student last year and it was his idea to plan such activities for this year's students." The activities started Sat., Jan. 28 with an orientation night and a pizza party. On Sunday the students were taken home by various faculty mem-bers for church and dinner. Group stress activities on Sunday afternoon involved putting six people on a be utilized. Not only would better communica-tion with alumni benefit the students, but the Alumni Office believes it would give the alumni new ways to better serve and be excited about their alma mater. The Bethel alumni structure in-cludes a National Alumni Council (NAC) which meets once a year, and an executive council that meets once a month. The NAC has 15 members, six of which are on the executive council. It is Fauth's proposed plan to or-ganize a student committee to meet with this national group in hopes of discovering how the alumni can better serve Bethel's present students. balance beam trying to get from one end to the other. It was "quite interesting," ac-cording to Nan Goss who called it one of the highlights of Welcome Week. Sunday night brought a vesper service led by Bob Peota and Diane Lloyd. Monday the Welcome Week activities came to a climax at the Faculty Talent Show, when Paul Kling presented the "Three Little Pigs Operetta." Christini Green from Washington said, "I really didn't know anyone at Bethel when I came. I think Welcome Week for second semester people is a fantastic idea." She went on to say, "I was able, through the activities, to make friends more quickly."

The Royals won this match, 81-77 last Monday night. Forfeits stop grapplers from gaining victory over Cans Senior Doug Erickson in recent game against St. John's. Miller rips for 34 points in losing effort to Gusties Doug 'E' Erickson continues to shine on the Royal hardcourt by Greg Kuntz At the onset of the 1977-78 basket-ball season for the Royals, premiering in the MIAC conference, first-year Coach Jim Bragg said of senior Doug "E" Erickson that "he would develop into his full potential by mid-season." So far, the 6'7" center has hit 50 per cent from the field and has been mobile besides being one of the Royals' leading rebounders. Erickson grew up in Blue Island, Ill. (one of Chicago's countless suburbs.) and started his basketball career in the Christian Service Brigade in sixth grade. "I was the worst player who ever started there," chuckled Erickson. He continued to play church league in high school when he represented Salem Baptist in the Covenant League. "We were the only Baptist church in the Covenant League, I guess because they thought we Baptists were rowdies from a long time ago," laughed Erickson. His team won the conference all three years he played, even though he didn't actually start until his senior year. He had fun with other op-portunities including singing in an octet comprised of teammates. "One time after we won a tourna-ment in Joliet, they asked us to sing after the game," Erickson recalled. The group went to singing contests at Baptist General Conference "con-tacts" in Moline, Ill. and in Seattle. "We had a lot of chances for outreach this way," said Doug. It's been a goal of Erickson's to make a college team. "When I was a sophomore in high school I heard that I wouldn't make it since I didn't play in regular high school competition," said Erickson. Now 6'7", he was a mere 5'8", 105 lb. runt as a high school sophomore and 6'4" by the end of high school. "I had to be realistic. I felt I didn't stand a chance in regular high school ball." He sang in the Bethel Male Chorus his freshman year, trying out for it the day after he was cut from basketball. "My roommate Mike Anderson was in it and he suggested it," said Doug. As a sophomore under Coach Jack Trager, Erickson played J.V. and as a junior under Roger Davis he played in all the J.V. games and started some on varsity. "E" explained how he got his name. "Tim Engebretson was the original "E" here and when I joined the team T.K. (Tom Koenigsberg) started calling me "slim E," so I guess I've taken sole possession of the name for now." Erickson believes his relationship with people and the team have grown in his years at Bethel. "I feel there's a tightness with the team like our church league team had," said Doug. Erickson has another year of eligi-bility but he doesn't think he'll be back to play it out. He is a business-economics major and is aiming td work up in the business world and keep playing church league ball. His fiance, Carrie, teaches mathe-matics in Rockford, Ill. and their wedding is set for this June. "She's helped me a lot and always tells me what I should work on in basketball," said Doug. "The school and the team have given me confidence, and I've met a lot of fun, super people. I wouldn't be anywhere else. One of the biggest things I've learned is not to make excuses. I want to go out and play as hard as I can and have fun." by Steve Erickson Despite the hot shooting of Ray Miller who had 34 points, Bethel was downed by Gustavus 81-74 before a large home crowd last Saturday night. A dry spell midway through the second half did the Royals in as they were outscored 25-12 the first 12 minutes of the second stanza. Al-though Bethel rallied late in the game, they could never get closer than four points away. The Gusties were led by guard John Mattke and forward Mark Tiemann. Mattke scored 18 and Tiemann tallied 21. Miller was most of the offense for Bethel, making 14 of 18 field goal attempts. Curt Oslin and hustling Greg Peterson added 12 apiece. Playing good defense, Bethel took the lead early in the first half. Then Gustavus changed defenses. Bethel had trouble adjusting to the man-to-man defense and the Gusties fought back. They took a 35-34 lead into the He recalled, "One time a girl I was introduced to found out I was called "E" and she said 'Oh, I always yell for you at games and I never knew who you were!"' So basketball fans, the next time you're at a game in the Bethel gym, #45 is the man you're shouting "E" about. locker room at half-time. Miller had 22 points and kept the Royals close. Gustavus started the second half with a couple fast break baskets. They stretched the lead to 14 midway through the period and seemed as if they were going to run away with the contest. At 60-46 Bethel started a comeback led by Oslin and Peterson. The 6'1" Oslin scored all his points in the second half and eight of them in a minute-and-a-half stretch. Peterson pumped in several long range shots and played scrappy defense. Bethel narrowed the margin to 64-60 but could never get any closer. The Royals connected on more field goals than the visitors but Gustavus converted 13 more free throws. Bethel outrebounded the Gusties 32-26. Mil-ler and Tom Koenigsberg shared game honors with seven apiece. One of the Gustavus coaches called continued on page 7 by Carol Madison Although the Bethel wrestling team was unable to overcome an automatic 18 point deficit in its loss to Carleton, the grapplers still wrestled their best match of the season so far. Bethel had to give up 18 points in forfeits, but some aggressive, intense wrestling made the 30-15 loss closer than the score would indicate. The team had to come from behind in its last home match of the season, and according to Coach Klostreich, every-one did the best they could do. Lonnie Holmgren wrestled his best match of the season, and Gary Almquist and Greg Heinsch also by Steve Erickson Playing one of the better teams it will face this year, the Bethel hockey team bowed to the Augsburg junior varsity 12-6 Wednesday Feb. 1. Augsburg overwhelmed the less-talented Royals, especially in the first two periods. The final shots on goal pointed this out. Augsburg bombed goalie George Fraser with 63 shots while Bethel had only 23. Despite allowing 12 goals, Fraser stopped at least another dozen scoring opportu-nities. Bethel stayed close, trailing only 3-2 early in the second period, before the Augies ran off a string of five straight goals to put the game out of reach. Scoring goals for the Royals turned in fine performances. Dave Fuller lost at 118, but has been steadily improving throughout the season. Jim Schultz also lost, but it was his first match of the season, and conditioning was the big factor in his loss. In a previous loss to Concordia and Augsburg, Bethel was not able to wrestle a full team, which was the main factor in the loss. Bethel faces conference contender St. Thomas in the Gustavus Adolphus Triangular at 1:00 p.m. on Feb. 11. The season concludes with the MIAC meet at Concordia-Moorhead on the 18th. were Fred Hage and John Selvog who each had a pair and Mark Olson and Greg Correll with single goals. "I wasn't disappointed," said Coach Dave Harris. "We got better as the game went on. We haven't had any tough competition since Christ-mas. It was hard to get organized." As far as talent was concerned, Augsburg had it over the Royals. Harris said, "They would be com-petitive with many varsity teams in the MIAC." In other games played recently, Bethel crushed a weak Bethany team 17-3 and defeated the alumni 2-1.

Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 14 -February 10, 1978 Influential administrators applaud "flat rate" tuition by Shelly Nielsen The administration plans to im-plement a "flat rate" tuition billing system next year. This plan requires each student taking between 3 and 4.5 courses to pay a set fee of $1375 per semester. Interim will be included as part of one semester's payment. The student planning part-time attendance with less than three classes will be faced with a $400 bill for each one-semester course he takes. According to the dean, "normal degree progress," achieved by com-pleting the requirements of 8.5 courses per year, involves 92 per cent of the present student body. This new system operates with this majority in mind. The plan attempts to hold the overall cost of attending Bethel at a minimum. We tried to keep the increase to 3.5 per cent as opposed to a cost of living increase of 6.7 per cent," reported Dean Brushaber. The fixation of a flat rate tuition charge will not ultimately affect the amount of money collected by Bethel. Each year a certain sum must be collected to maintain the operation of the college. The question administrators face is not "How much?" but "How?" The fixed rate, according to Brushaber, is already employed by almost every Christian consortium college and Min-nesotan college. In the opinion of the administration, that answers the query. The system attempts to be fair to the student. It is inevitable that college attendance grows into a more expensive endeavor each year. Cost must go up somewhere. The rise in tuition affects every, student, whereas a massive increase in housing fees would favor the commuting student, the same as drastically altering food service prices would penalize new campus residents while affe-tine Fountain Terrace oc-cupants little, if at all. The minority left in the cold. obviously, is the 6-8 per cent of Bethel's community labeled "part-time." Dean Brushaber admits real-istically that "some people are going to be hurt by this system." Studies, however, reveal that the number of persons enrolled for only one course per semester was not higher than 16. Most of these stu-dents were involved in a "tuition waiver" program as faculty spouses. A maximum of 39 individuals took only two classes. For those most adversely affected by this change, namely seniors with an accumulation of 27 or more course credits by Sept. 1 of 1978, the option to petition for a $325 per course fee will be available. To the few not making "normal degree progress," the system is also meant to serve as a method of motivation. "We're trying to en-by Paul Olsen The results of the food and book cost survey conducted during interim have been tabulated and incorporated into next year's financial aid budget. The budget, which estimates how much a Bethel student will spend during the school year, is used to determine financial aid awards. The estimated budget is subtracted from the amount the student and his parents are expected to contribute. The results is the student's demon-strated need. All Bethel financial aid is based on this demonstrated need. Partly on the basis of the survey, the budget for 1978-79 will be established at around $4750 to $4800, according to Nelson. This includes estimates for books, personal expenses, tuition, and room and board. Transportation costs, from $0 to $500, are computed for each student individually. The survey, which appeared in everyone's P.O. during interim, is the major input for finding food costs, and the only basis for estimating book costs. According to Nelson, the results of the survey were unexpected. In comparison to an identical survey taken two years ago, Bethel students are spending less on food, and more on books. Two years ago a female student on campus spent, on the average, $500 on food. The average outlay for new campus men was $650. Allowing for rising costs, this year's food budget was $750. This year's survey, however, shows that men are spending virtually the same amount as before. This means they are buying less food. Women, on the other hand, are courage stadents to work when they work and study when the study," stated the dean. "To work and study isn't as desirable as we used to think." The program may deter individuals from working and attending school simultaneously. Dean Brushaber as-serted that an extention of the usual four-year program is "not the best psychologically or emotionally" and that "we would like to discourage" those attempting this course. The system, he stressed, is designed as a source of encouragement rather than as a punitive measure. Despite noticeable deficiencies, the "flat rate" program offers a variety of important benefits. Because Bethel is unique in its billing on the "per spending only $479 on food, a significant drop. The paradox, in Nelson's mind, is that while everyone says food prices are too high, people are spending less money than before. This can only mean that people are not eating properly. Nelson's only control over the food situation is the financial aid budget. The results of the survey have negated any possible increases in the food budget and may have prompted a slight decrease. A different situation is the spending figures established for books and supplies. The current budget allows for $175 for such expenditures. The survey shows that this figure is too low. Students expect to spend $215 this year. The books and supplies budget will be raised to $225 next year, as a result. Next year's tentative budget breaks down as follows: books, $225; per-sonal expenses, $450; tuition, $2750- $2800 (tentative); and room and board, $1325-$1375 (tentative). course" basis, prospective students and transfers have no effective way of comparing costs here with those of other institutions. Revising this system would alleviate the difficulty. Only $75 extra per quarter course will be charged when a student desires classes over the 4.5 limit. These, along with financial advan-tages, make the flat rate proposal favorable to many. To the tide of recent and deter-mined criticism voiced by various members of Bethel's community, Dean Brushaber responds that "noth-ing is beyond the reach of good arguments." For now, however, this new method of billing remains in good repute among influential admin-istrators at Bethel. This $4750-$4850 total, which does not include transportation, compares to $4500-$4600 this year. Because of the major budget de-cisions relying on it, the survey was important. Nelson believes that it was relatively accurate with more weight placed on the new campus results because those residents have the best idea of actual money spent. Approximately 37 per cent of the 1300 students at interim returned the survey. Nelson considers this a good response. Over half of the women respond-ents added complaints about the food system. Most of them disliked the required minimum food card pur-chase. One man wanted the minimum raised because he claims the food card black market is not as profitable as it used to be. He says more food cards would lower their resale value—just what the hungry male needs. Possible future financial develop-ments include a return to a flat-fee tuition and revised food payment system. There are no official develop-ments concerning either as yet. Interim food and book survey tabulated, incorporated into budget On the inside...

Total costs for full-time students will be approximately 3.2 per cent more. In raw figures it is a slight jump from $4,625 to $4,775 for the 1978-79 school year. The logistics and extended figures for all of this can be found in the article on page one. There is a real secret out, however. Students learned for the first time this past week that the tuition system itself has been revised. Tuition for the 1978-79 school year will be charged on a flat rate in place of the present "per course" basis now in effect. The pros and cons of the new system will not be addressed here. Even if the tuition changes are totally agreeable to students (which they are not) this deci-sion behind closed doors is a symptom of a greater illness that cripples the rela-tionship between students and administration at Bethel—secrecy. At a Student Senate meeting last Tuesday, Dr. Mack Nettleton, director for student affairs, and Dan Nelson, director of financial aid, told an ill-informed and consequently ill-prepared group of senators and concerned students, that the decision to go to the flat rate was an administrative decision, and that students have no inherent right to a priori say in the matter. The meeting was called to clarify logistic, not ethical, questions. Student Association President Tad Johnson knew last November that a new tuition scale was being considered, but he was told not to discuss it with anyone. He met with administrators to "discuss" the issue but quickly surmised that his original input was not being solicited. The sessions were just to answer typical objections he might raise to a decision that was already under way. Just last Tuesday evening Dean George Brushaber released an announcement of the change, its implications, and the rationale behind it. It was well thought-out, reasonable, articulate, and specific. But a recurring thought during a reading of it was, "All this was developed to such finality without input from a single student?" Is it a wonder the Student Senate is coping with an identity crisis this week? How long can students be patronized by token representation? Who draws the lines between what are "administrative" and cooperative decisions, and if that is an arbitrary distinction, how can we ever believe in our action enough to be anything less than apathetic? Is it ethical to ask the student body president not to release information he believes is pertinent to the students who elected him? Even if it is strictly an "ad-ministrative" decision in progress, why can't we know about it? This same type of policy is employed year after year by the Bethel admini-stration. When they eventually do release their decisions, it is too late to pro-vide any student input to make changes. Last semester it was the old campus sale. When the administration finally did reveal a statement on the matter, it was after the fact. For some reason they thought their secrecy was necessary, but never did reveal why. The same situation arises with each year's enrollment figures. When the ad-ministration eventually reveals the figures, it is usually after false rumors have been roaming the hallowed halls of Bethel for more than a month. When the figures are released, students are disillusioned by the administration's idle pro-mises that enrollment figures will rise insignificantly the next year. Such was the case last year when the Board of Regents set the enrollment figure at 1825 for this year. The real figure was 1867 as of September, 1977. The issue we are pressing here is not only administrative secrecy, but also ad-ministrative integrity. When it fails to answer student queries on topics dealing with the students' future plans, its integrity is questioned. When it approaches the student with an ultimatum rather than an option, its integrity is questioned. When it does something that is somewhat distorted of what it originally told the student body (i.e enrollment increases), its integrity is questioned. We are not condemning the flat rate plan in this editorial. But rather we are condemning the manner in which the administration shoves their newly formed policy down our sore and lumpy throats. The lump is getting larger every day, and eventually it will not yield another swallow. The Student Senate is sponsoring an open forum for all those interested in discussing the pros and cons of the flat rate system with selected members of the administration. The forum will be held in the AC lounge on Monday, Feb. 13, beginning at 3:30 p.m. Mack Nettleton and Dan Nelson will represent the administration at this meeting, with the possibility of Dean George Brushaber also entering the discussion. Please plan to be there. Ramos refutes editorial, defends cartoon Dear editor, In response to the editorial in the last Clarion regarding my blas-phemous cartoon, I technically should reply illustratively with a cartoon of the writer concerned walking pain-fully in a pair of Bob Moder's shoes...but that would be distasteful. Instead I have chosen to lock horns literarily. There are two reasons for the materialization of my nasty cartoon. 1) The Clarion survey results showed that my cartoons were not con-troversial enough according to the consensus of Bethel students sur-veyed. I took this information with a grain of salt. It is my responsibility to be responsive to the Clarion readers, so if it was controversy that they wanted, it was controversy that they were going to get. 2) I was encouraged by people and by anonymous notes in my P.O. to do a political cartoon. With the exception of the dragged-out "sale of old campus" theme, Bethel College does not exactly seethe with juicy political issues. Again (with two old campus cartoons to my credit) I was stuck with the exception. I must confess at this point that my idea for this particular cartoon was not an original one. It was sparked by a political cartoon I had seen in the Minneapolis Tribune. It depicted an aide for Governor Perpich stumbling into the Governor's office tarred and feathered, much to the Governor's horror. The aide had just returned from a visit to the Como-Falcon Heights Community Coalition as the Gover-nor's representative. He admonished his honor to cancel his plans to make a visit to the coalition in person. One reason for Ms. Schmiess's indignant response to my cartoon is her obvious lack of knowledge of what caricature is. I will not create my own definition but instead will refer to Mr. Webster's definition. He defines a caricature as "A picture or verbal expression that ludicrously exaggerates the charact-teristics of the thing depicted." That gives me more freedom than literary expression. If in fact my cartoon was an "incomplete" and "misleading ex-pression," and "several of the Clarion staff doubted that the cartoon qualified for the editorial page," then why in the world was it printed in the first place? I challenge Ms. Schmiess to show me a political cartoon that truthfully, much less tastefully depicts its sub-ject. I also suggest she re-examine her definition of "editorial integrity," as I for one do not see where "bias" has its place in sound journalism. If bias can be "well-grounded" and "tastefully expressed," so can other vices such as adultery and murder. Ms. Schmiess had no business taking it upon herself to publicly apologize on my behalf to the Como- Falcon Heights Community Coalition. I found that particular action totally out of line. I will personally apologize for my own mistakes, if I feel an apology is necessary. Since no one from the Como-Falcon Heights Community Coalition has contacted me personally and de-manded an apology, then I do not feel one is in order. Should Herbert Block, the re-spected and nationally-renown pol-itical cartoonist apologize to Richard Nixon for giving him an outlandish nose and suspiciously beady eyes in so many of his unflattering cartoons? An apology may be in order to the Bethel student body of being accused of something that I was solely responsible for. In the future I suggest Ms. Schmiess direct her editorials to the source, excluding the innocent. I do however, thank her for the attention she has brought upon my cartoon. It must have been worth something if she seriously thinks that it has the potential to jeopardize the efforts of a coalition that is presently rebelling against the federal gov-ernment. In conclusion I suggest Ms. Schmiess walk a couple of miles in the shoes of the potential Job Corp applicant who is honestly trying to gain or regain a place of respect and worth in society. Apparently that is a story that rates of little significance according to her concept of editorial integrity. Juan Ramos Recipient responds to 'scrapping' of Social Security Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the editorial on scrapping the Social Security System in the Jan. 13 Clarion. I am obliged to reply because the writer, although correct in many of his or her points, has neglected to mention all of what the program offers, and who it touches. The editorialist dealt with Social Security merely as a government-run pension plan. It is a good deal more than that, buster. When I was 13, my father died of a heart attack, leaving a dependent family of a wife and two boys, both of whom were still living at home and attended public schools. My mother received Social Security for herself (up to a short point), for my older brother (until he reached the ripe old age of 18), and for myself. This money was essential at that extra time and the years immediately following, relieving us of an extra burden. When someone is in the situation that I was (and am) in, Social Security benefits continue until you reach the age of 18, or the state's age of legal adulthood. Up to that point the monthly checks came in and name of your parent or guardian. If you continue school after your 18 birthday, your monthly checks con-tinue. However, if at any time between the ages of 18 and 22, you stop attending school, benefits cease. (They stop no matter what after you become 22.) My brother did not continue his education. This padded my checks, which of course all came from money my father had paid in taxes. I receive about $271.50 per month, and I pay my room and board (I live at home) with the $71.50. If it were not for this "dead end policy" I would not be able to go to Bethel, and indeed be hard-pressed to pay for any post-secondary school of good quality. I have a part-time job, and I have held it for almost two years. That money is also necessary for college tuition and books, not to mention automobile gas and insurance. My job. money supplements both my car and college accounts at the bank, but my Social Security plus a job still does not mean that it's easy to make financial ends meet. Under Social Security, I can only earn $3000 or less in my gross annual income. If I gross more than that (which I did in 1977 due to paid 15 minute continued on page 5 Page 2 .40111111111111RETESi District Court Judge Joseph Summers entertained a convocation audience on Tuesday with his wit and wisdom.

Do you sneer at this revered name? There was a time in my naive youth that I, too, scorned the man's theor-ies. "When I was a child..." I discovered the concepts of Freudi-an thought in high school. I was outraged by this nut's appli-cation of warped thought to unques-tionably "moral" literature. The guy made Hamlet something only a few degrees above a pervert. No cracked psychoanalyst could make me buy theories that turned Larry Olivier's character into a crazed, monomaniacal beast. Jack the Ripper's personality seemed as mild as Beetle Bailey's in comparison. W.A.R., the "Norton Anthology of British Literature," and a few "deep" coffee shop conversations have har-dened and aged me quickly. Having developed the cynicism necessary to graduate with a concentration in liter-ature, my intolerance toward percep-tive Freudian concepts withered along with ignorance. I accept Sigmund Freud, a sick Hamlet, and the Oedipal complex. And I'm proud of it! My only question is, "With all this modern-day emphasis on honesty, truth, and insight, why has certain significant literature been left so superstitiously untouched?" What are critics afraid of when they refuse to examine specific works of art? Are they leery of offending a close-minded public? Of disappoint. ing trusting children? Well, here is one analyst willing to brave opposition and courageously present the obvious: Freudian con-cepts are inherent within the deceiv-ingly simple tale of Little Red Riding Hood. It is a story that has cried, yes, cried, to be told the way it was meant to be interpreted. My investigation developed into such in-depth proportions that I will include discoveries followers will not recognize as Freudian. This is all part of detailed, thorough study. Let's begin with the basics of the story. Our setting is the usual folk-tale forest, a scene notorious for its complex implications. I won't delve into the intricacies of symbolism evi-dent here, except to state that forests are infamous in Freudian analyses and highly significant. It is in this veritable jungle of underlying connotations that readers are first introduced to the supposedly innocent goodie-lugger, Little Red Riding Hood. She is our main character, and her facade of sweet little girlhood is re-markably transparent. Beneath her obedient reply, "Yes, mother," to the request to take refreshments to a sick grandparent is a shrewd mind. A clue to her character is revealed by the significant hue of her clothing. Red! Aha! Who but this girl in red would go tripping fearlessly through the woods—presumably near dusk—with no more protection than • a sharp-edged wicker basket and a small mace can in her pocket? Not me, boy! Little Red knew what she was doing, all right. If the hood had been green—tradi-tionally associated with naivete—or blue, symbolic of melancholy, this questioning of the character's charac-ter would be kaput. She, however, insisted on blatantly wearing scarlet. Tsk, tsk, fairy tale fans, you mean you never noticed? An important confrontation occurs when the antagonist, the wolf, leaps out from behind a clump of skunk cab-bage, eliciting a startled scream and an involuntary fumble toward the mace from L.R.R.H. Note the author's choice of animals to portray this rogue: not a squirrel or a rabbit, but a wolf! Catch the signifi-cance there? His ravenous appetite for "good-ies" spurs him to race our not-so-in-nocent innocent to Granny's cottage. Any interior in Freudian literature may safely be associated with a womb image. Thus, the cabin at the edge of the woods becomes a symbolic, pro-tective haven. (This, incidentally, leads the per-ceptive reader to discover the numer-ous secondary meanings behind other objects. A comprehensive list of womb symbols in this complex folk tale would include: Little R.R. Hood's basket, her apron pocket, the knot hole in the fourth tree on the path, and the chocolate eclairs taken to Grandma.) Due to a scarcity of space, the full Freudian implications beneath "good-ies," hand made quilts, and silver hat pins can not be thoroughly investigat-ed here. I will conclude, instead, with a dis-cussion of the character of the woods-man who draws the story to a dramatic close by hacking the wolf to pieces right in front of the Hood's horrified, bulging eyes. He is symbolic of the individual who will protect the young and innocent, but for selfish and objectionable rea-sons. His suddenly apparent motive for defending Miss Hood is to overtake by Dave Terpstra There is a counseling service at Bethel which probably few people know about. It began with just the Dean of Students and the various R.A.'s on campus. However, this service has now expanded to include three profes-sionals— Dr. Webster Muck, Dr. David Anderson, and Shirley 01- seen—and campus Pastor James Spickelmier. Its purpose is to help all registered students clear up their problems. Such things as depression, personal and academic problems, relations with others, and vocational choices are a few of the areas these people deal with. Just because this is a Christian the wolf's position and become the eager recipient of her compliments: "What big eyes you have!" It is obvious that the villain was not completely gratified by proving his macho chopping defenseless trees. He sought satisfaction elsewhere—in the attentions of a red-hooded flatter-er. See how elements lying on the surface of literature can be overlooked because of ignorant prejudice and bias? The educated college student should remain open to new concepts and truths as obvious as those stated in the above documentary. An investi-gatory, probing nature will reveal to you facts as stimulating as the ones I have uncovered. As a new student to this methodolo-gy, you will be astounded and delighted to find Freud in the most unlikely sources! Take the Clarion for example... college does not mean that Christians are excluded from these and other types of problems. On the contrary, it is more difficult, since there is the spiritual involvement that everyone here encounters each day. These problems need to be dealt with by such capable people as those mentioned above. Rev. Spickelmier mainly handles spiritual counseling, along with other related matters. But the other three are open to all types of difficulties. "With three of us, it give students a choice," said Dr. Muck. "We teach, so then our faces become familiar, too." Dr. Anderson pointed out that students can come to see Dr. Muck if they prefer the "fatherly figure," or him if they can relate to someone of about the same age, or they can see Mrs. Olseen if they like to talk to a woman instead of a man. Because of the fact that Dr. Muck plans to resign as the chairman of the psychology department, that will al-low him more time for the counseling service, although he still will teach here. He feels the challenge is great and that this is more what he should do. The principle reason the traffic has been so light going through their doors is that people feel fearful of being counseled. There exists a stigma in many persons' minds about being counseled. However, all three of them said they would welcome even the most seemingly minute problems or frustrations in one's life. Since there is such a great need on campus for a counseling service, all three of them spend anywhere from 10-20 hours per week doing this. If you wish to contact them for an appointment, they have asked that you go through Karen Hauck in AC 336 and she will set up an appoint-ment. As Dr. Muck said, "The counseling service is open to suggestions on effectiveness and on how it should be used." But the best part of it is that it is free! `Little Red' submits to Freudian analysis service available Faculty offers counseling on complimentary basis Page 3 The Imperials, a well-known Gospel-group, will be singing at Bethel tonight at 8 p.m..

The world can laugh at ow morality and our habits, but they can't laugh at our hope. They envy the meaning that we find in our lives through Christ. The tragedy is that many Christians don't believe that. Most of us don't see ourselves as being too unique. We are exhorted to be lights in the darkness, but that can easily be laughed off. Last summer I worked at what many would consider to be one of the most depressing places in the world, a maximum security psychiatric unit. The time there seemed to be a concentrated experience of all of the world's problems. It was easy to see the darkness. I also saw very clearly that I have, as does a Christian in any field, an ability to give the people around me a sense of Christ's hope if I just let myself be honest with them. We have to begin to realize how unique and wonderful this saving hope is. I'm not a psychologist, perhaps it is not my place to make judgements, but I saw the people in the psychiatric unit give up on reality. Sure, there are a hundred individual intangibles in anyone's route to a breakdown, but I saw that each individual found only stress and frustration in their everyday existence, and were without the resources to find hope. No matter the amount of drugs we pumped into them or the number of times we zapped with Electroshock Therapy, if they didn't want to face reality they weren't going to. Without hope in their lives they couldn't find any meaning. In an environment like that it wasn't long before I really had to come to grips with myself. With so many people leading lives what was so special about my hope? With so many people leading meaningless lives was there anything special about the meaning in my life? That place was really rough on a person. By the end of the summer you couldn't tell the patients from the staff without a scorecard. Whenever the phrase "search for meaning" pops into the conversation things usually get very complicated. Bethel even has a class by that title this semester. For me the attempt to find meaning in and of myself has always ended in despair. In trying to find meaning in my selfishness it isn't long before I become fatalistic. All relationships, all accomplishments eventually crumble and die. Thomas Merton said, "Ultimately the only way that I can be myself is to become identified with Him in Whom is hidden the reason and fulfillment of my existence." Life's meaning revolves in a more mundane way around our vocational choices. Seniors have a special need to reaffirm this hope that Christ gives and to realize how affective they can be as lights. Robert Leslie in his book "Jesus and Logotherapy" writes that "rather than asking what the meaning in life is, the more appropriate question is to ask what task God has in store for any one individual. In what way can I, being the person I am, with the unique set of talents and experiences that I have, fulfill the tasks that are waiting for me to undertake in God's world?" by Thangi Chhangte "I have become known as the guy who works with sex offenders," Dr. Thomas Correll remarked jokingly. He was referring to his recent research in designing treatment for sex offenders. Dr. Correll, chairman of the anth-ropology department, during the 1976-77 academic year worked as the research dirctor for the Correctional Service of Minnesota, a private agency. The agency is oriented towards research, education and community action in criminal justice and cor-rections. Richard Ericson, a part-time teacher at Bethel, is the executive director of the agency. The term "sexual offence" in-cludes: rape, incest, child mole-station, and indecent exposure. In Minnesota, adult sex offenders are convicted in accordance with the Criminal Sexual Conduct Law. Two interesting aspects emerged out of this research. First of all, many sex offenders have been sexually abused as children and they re-enact their experiences. This is know as the victim cycle. Secondly, the offenders had very low self-esteem. They also had in-adequate social skills, especially in their heterosexual behavior. Fre-quently, they were also alcoholics. The research focused on two major parts. The first part of the research was to determine the number, as well as the characteristics of sexual of-fenders in Minnesota. The second part was to find out what is being done to treat them in the U.S. and around the world. According to this research, 620 men were convicted of sexual offence in Minnesota, during 1976. Men in the 20 to 30 age range were the most frequent offenders, though there were some who were in their 60's. Tom and his colleagues worked mostly with clinical psychologists. increasingly aware of the strengths They also systematically interviewed and weaknesses of the U.S. criminal the police, the offenders, and court justice system. and corrections personnel.

Raspberry Monday exhibit displays selective pieces I Johnson/Carlson I by Tad Johnson It is the beginning of second semester and time to start gearing-up for next year. First, applications for the Campus Coordinators position for the 1978-79 school year are now open. Job descriptions and applications are available in the Student Senate office (FA 301), and the deadline for turning them in is March 1. The Campus Coordinator positions are stipended. Applications are being opened up a month ahead of last year so that the new Campus Coordinators will be able to work with the current Coordinators for the rest of the school year. This will help ease the transition and make next year's programs more successful. Secondly, applications for the media chief positions are also available in the Senate office. These positions include Coevel editor, Clarion editor, Passages editor, and the Roster coordinator. All of the positions are stipended, and applications will be open until the end of the month. I would encourage-anyone who is even slightly interested in these positions to apply. The experince now of being an editor will go a long way in the business world. There is also a freshman senator position open. Any freshman interested in the position should come to the Senate office and pick up an application. The appointment shall run until the end of the current term, which is April 1. I would like to thank everyone, especially the members of the Public Action Committee, who either helped with or participated in the volleyball marathon. The final score of the marathon was: new campus 1888, non-new campus 2023. Pledges for the marathon totalled $792.62. The money collected from the marathon and from the Love Loaves will be sent through World Vision to a medical missionary in Peru where it will be used to start an immunization program among the people there. Thanks again for your donations and participation in the marathon. Today and tomorrow, Feb. 10 and 11, Tannie Woods and I will be attending a meeting of the Minnesota Association of Private College Students (MAPCS) at Augsburg College. The MAPCS organization concerns itself mainly with problems common to all private colleges in Minnesota. It retains a student intern at the State Legislature for lobbying on issues dealing with private college students. Topics to be presented this weekend are "The Status of Liberal Arts in Minnesota" and "Campus Security." I hope that these topics will help our student government here at Bethel to function better and come up with more ideas to help improve the student life here. Coming up later in the month is the national convention of the American Association of Evangelical Students to be held at the Radisson South on February 20-23. Jim Torgerson and Bobbi Hersch have put in many hours arranging the accomodations and contacting the speakers. This convention is very important and will help estalblish Bethel's student body as a leader among Christian colleges. Debators anticipate refinement in wake of preparatory work by Terri Hanson It was one of those sunny summer Mondays thaf simply beg people to be out of doors, and Anonymous #1 and #2 were. In fact, Anonymous #1 and #2 were outside picking raspberries trying to devise a name of the $250 award and medallian they would donate to one Bethel student each year. Suddenly, they had a bright idea—they would call it the Raspberry Monday competition! Although the story may seem rather far-fetched, Raspberry Monday actu-ally came into existence—and just that way according to Stu Luckman. The exhibit opened Monday after-noon, Feb. 6, at 3 p.m. The usual punch, raspberry of course, was served with donuts, as students, faculty and friends worked their way through the various exhibits which ranged anywhere from bold batiks to earthen stoneware. The contestants for the Raspberry Monday competition are all Bethel art students. They may enter any work they have completed in the last year or so, either in a classroom setting or individually. The art department faculty may also select a work of art they have seen a student working on to be in the show. Because of the volume of art work received and the lack of space available, the faculty is very selective about the pieces that enter the competition. Hence, there are always a few "Raspberry Monday Rejects" as Dawn Eggen, a senior art education major, put it. The big question, of course, is which student will win the $250 award (toward his tuition) and the medal-lion? The award is given annually by two anonymous donors, on the basis of his work leadership role in the art department, his general contribution as a student as well as the work he has entered. This year a big moment came a few minutes 'after 4 p.m. when Diane Sprague Smith was announced the winner out of the 60 some students that entered. Diane, a sophomore, had entered several pieces of stone-ware, paintings and pastels. The Raspberry Monday exhibit will be on display in the second floor art gallery until Feb. 24. "Decision 1978" is an opportunity for juniors and seniors to learn more about knowing God's will in making life decisions. It's also a time to discover the possibilities of a future with Campus Crusade for Christ. Pat Means, United States Field Director for CCC, will be the featured speaker at this weekend conference at the Radisson in Duluth. The first ses-sion is at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, and the last is Sunday at 11 a.m. Including the $5 registration fee per person, the cost is $29 for singles, $83 for a married couple. Except for a by Holly Schmless "This semester we have a real chance to grow as a team because the prep work is done. Now the refining takes place," debater Mike Emerson said after three consecutive weekend tournaments, two of which were varsity level for him and his partner, Scott Larson. After almost a month's vacation, three Bethel teams competed in a regional tourney at LaCrosse the weekend of Jan. 21. Larson and Emerson came away from their first major efforts in the varsity division, winning five rounds and losing their first and only to the University of Eau Claire in quarter finals. In junior varsity, Scott Palmquist and Ira King tallied a four and two record while Mark Ludwig and Bruce Anthony took one of six. The next weekend, Larson and Emerson traveled with Macalester's teams to one of the biggest meets in the country, at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. They competed on the junior varsity level and, with a four and four earning, rated middle ground among the 85 teams participa-ting in that division. Emerson was disappointed they continued from page 2 breaks I took too many of) I have to pay the office a certain amount of money back, or money is propor-tionately deducted from my 1978 checks, I'm not quite sure which yet. At any rate, I am far from rich due to these benefits. As an additional thought on the editorial, the writer said that without Social Security taking out some 6 per cent of one's paycheck, it could be banked for an individual pension fund. _ -_- I think this is highly unlikely because when you give Americans money like that, it is going to be spent, not saved, in more cases than not. The average resident is not all that swift. I am no judge, but throughout my experiences with people I have received that particular impression. But my most important point is still the same: I need Social Security. There's more to it than meets the economy. Richard Lanford banquet, you will be on your own for meals.

Hope to hear from you! hadn't compiled a six and two, attributing it to "close rounds we thought we'd won, but didn't because of questionable criteria for deci-sions." He and Larson competed against teams from the Universities of Kansas, Montana, California at River-side, Arizona State University, Colo-rado College, and the Air Force Academy. At a regional tournament hosted by the University of Iowa last weekend, Emerson and Larson chose to resume varsity competition and won a four and two combination, beat by Ma-calester's number one team in quarter finals. - In the junior varsity division, An-thony and Ludwig won four rounds and lost two. King and Palmquist claimed one out of six. Bethel debaters face their next competition in two weeks at an invitational in Lincoln, Neb., and the following weekend at the University of Southern Connecticut. Both events are large and prestigious. "You know the competition will be good. Schools don't fly their teams unless they're tough," Emerson said, explaining why he prefers the bigger meets. Emerson considers Macalester to be Bethel's most constant and elusive rival, ranking them with Harvard, Georgetown, and USC, among the nation's top teams. "We've come close to beating them, though," he said cautiously. Although Emerson said Bethel has some of the most extensive compiled data of all junior varsity teams in the country, he admitted the need for more research in fine negative points of the resolution. Emerson also recognized that he and Larson need to polish the varsity techniques they're just lately en-countering. Assistant Coach Bill Fraatz received due credit. "Scott and I are doing more varsity debate than Bill and Jo (Beld) did that last two years," said Emerson, "but it's only because of Bill's junior varsity experience and success."

Music greatest weakness in "Devil's Disciple" premiere by Holly Schmiess A musical is like a highly tempermental chemical compound. If the elements blend in the right balance, POOF! If they don't, well, back to the drawing board. Lyricist Warren Frost and com-poser David Karr are probably there now reworking "The Devil's Disciple," Chimera's musical version of the George Bernard Shaw play. The equation just didn't balance. It's hard to improve on a Shaw play, with its delicate blend of wit, state-ment, and rich characterization. Maybe it's because of this uncon-tested esteem that Frost and Karr chose a Shaw play—a built-in success factor. But they invited high expectations, and failed to meet them with music and script of equal, independent quality. Music composition was the weakest element. There's an important dif-ference between simple and simplis-tic. Musical hits are hauntingly sim-ple, but simplistic motifs and rhythms end up in grade school Christmas pageantry. No song in "The Devil's Disciple" was so enchanting that you hummed it or wanted to hear it again in the reprise. Chimera's adaptation stripped the subtlety from Shaw's characters. They were past being representative of universal types, and neared being stock. Again, the music was at fault. Solos that should have captured the unique essence of each character rehashed themes and personality traits of mar-quis- full of musical greats. For example, one could practically visualize the yellow brick road as the innocent, dreamy Essie sang "Somewhere, Out There." They were all there—Dorothy, Harold H11, Cinderella's stepmother, Henry Hig-gins, Lizzie Currie. There were definitely original elements. The English soldiers, led by the genteel General Burgoyne and Sargent (Bruce Bohne) were delight-ful and stole much of the show from the disciple himself, who displayed an almost careless ease in one more title role. Much of the show's true innovation happened in the tech area. Scene changes were maneuvered in the mid-dle of 1776 musket sally, scurrying and hapless minutemen, and austerely posed Redcoats. Successfully distrac-ting! The sets themselves, especially the trees, showed clever design and con-struction. Shame on the costume department, though for some glaring anachronisms, especially in the women's dresses. There was a notable lack of dance and full-fledged spectacle that used the entire chorus. The choreographer and orchestration missed some good opportunities to collaborate. It's fun to see a musical premiere and project what revisions will be made when the show closes. I'd sug-gest "The Devil's Disciple" to anyone who wants to wrestle, in the words of the director, "with a strange and won-drous beast—creativity." by Brad Lewis On Monday, Wednesday, or Fri-day, from 4 to 4:30 p.m., if you walk through the music lounge, you may see a group gathered around snap-shots. The group is Bethel College Concert Band members reminiscing about their recent interim tour to California and the Southwest. The 60-member band, under the direction of Dr. Julius Whitinger, spent 23 days of January travelling through 16 states presenting 25 concerts to hundreds of people. The band played a variety of sacred and secular music in the Baptist General Conference churches and the high schools it visited. The music of the band as well as its testimony of dedication to the Lord was well-received. The audiences showed their gratitude to the band with the highest form of American compliment; the band received stand-ing ovations at all but three of their concerts. The band members heard praise of r their musical performances and com-municated the appearance of a light-hearted and fun-loving group of Christian young people. Most of the musicians also part-icipated in an interim course taught on the tour by Dale Johnson, associate professor of art. The course, "Art and Culture of the American West," found the students visiting numerous museums and exhibits. A goal of the course was to teach students to develop a sense of visual literacy. Students found that task easy after viewing several Rembrandt paintings and the famous Towers of Simon Rodia in Watts. As well as tours of museums, band members enjoyed viewing the Grand Canyon, screaming at Disneyland, touring Universal Studios, wading in the Pacific, riding cable cars and dining at Fisherman's Wharf. The tour was arranged by manager Brad Johnson and Bethel's director of outreach Jay Caress. They were assisted by the two tour bus drivers from Greyhound, George Blackburn and Gary Bond. Two members of the band were soloists, Joe Cosgrove, trumpeter, and Ken Vork, trombonist. Andy Ross accompanied the band on tour to serve as narrator. Ken Vork is also the assistant conductor of the band. The band presented their first homecoming concert at Edina Baptist Church last Sunday and will present their final homecoming concert of sacred music Sunday, Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church in Roseville.

CORNELIUS JEWELERS 300 Physicians & Surgeons Bldg. 9th & Nicollet — Minneapolis Phone (612) 335-6940 Director of Alumni Affairs seeks to unite students, alumni by Laura Woodruff The first week of the second semester might have been lose or draw for some, but for the women's basketball team it was win. On Thursday, Feb. 2, they beat Carleton with a 57 to 33 score. Saturday, Feb. 4, they scored 70 points to Northwestern's 42, which brought the win-loss record up to 8-5. In the game against Carleton a 1-3-1 defense zone was used to contain Carleton's key player, Mad-eline McAfee, and Bethel was suc-cessful. "I was impressed with our defense," commented Coach Kathy Nevins. The half-time score was 28-16, Bethel. In the second half Bethel pulled even further ahead allowing Coach Nevins to use all the players from the bench. Cheryl Luiken was high scorer with 11 points, followed by Joann Griffin with 8. On Feb. 6 Bethel got an opportunity to practice handling a running game when they played the short but speedy Northwestern team. The score would indicate that they handled it well, even though Cheryl Luiken and Liz Hoist stayed home with the flu. Coach Nevins had few regrets, but she felt that more rebounds could have been made, and the mistakes that added up to 23 fouls should not have been made. Katie Miller came off the bench with an injured foot to score 24 points for the day's high. Joann Griffin scored 16 points which were matched by Holly Roehl's 16 from Northwes-tern. Bethel's Cindy Ramm had 11 points. Nevins can see much improvement in her freshman players and men-tioned that Deb Sension has been doing well in her first year of competitive basketball. The team is looking forward to a tough Valentine's Day game on Tuesday against St. Olaf. Nevins feels that Bethel can win if they play as well as they are capable of playing, and that a large crowd could do nothing but help. I Teachers at all levels Foreign and Domestic Teachers Box 1963 Vancouver, Wash. 98660 by Betty Logan As director of alumni affairs, Curt Fauth is working on ways to bridge the gap between students and alumni. He believes the Alumni Office doesn't use Bethel students to dis-cover what the students want from the student-alumnus relationship. "Bethel is here for the student," says Fauth. He goes on to express dis-couragement that the only alumni input the student usually sees is financial. Fauth would like to know how stu-dents think they can make better use of the alumni resources. "You need to tell us how we can best serve you and your school," comments Fauth. "Can we provide our expertise, or experiences? What would students like? Two student-alumnus programs the Alumni Office hopes to initiate are employment experience and student recruitment. Fauth would like to implement a program that would allow students to observe and participate in a work situation of career possibilities with an alumnus in that vocation. Student recruitment is presently the responsibility of the College Rela-tions Office, with the Alumni Office cooperation wherever it can. With more student and alumni help, Fauth feels it could become much more effective. The office hopes to discover both student and alumni reasons for continued from page 8 Bethel "a much improved team" since the last time these two teams played and Bethel Coach Jim Bragg agreed. "Defensively we are starting to play. And if we would have rebounded like this, we would have beat Macalester," he said referring to the 76-66 loss earlier in the week. "I bleed for the guys that they can't seem to beat anyone. Gustavus played a heckava game," said Bragg. The Gusties upped their record to 6-4 in conference. The loss dropped Bethel to 2-7 in MIAC and 5-9 overall. The Royals travel to Northfield tomorrow to take on St. Olaf at 7:30 p.m. Monday they play at home against the MIAC leaders, St. John's also at 7:30 p.m. attending Bethel, and then find better recruitment methods. Since half of all alumni attended Bethel after 1965, the age difference between students and alumni is consi-derably narrow compared with most older colleges. Fauth feels the ideals these similar age groups have in common is another factor that should ally Bethel alumni and present students. Fauth knows from experience how the student-turned-alumnus feels. "They're after me for my money," is the predominant thought. Though not wanting to underplay the financial help the alumni do give to Bethel, Fauth feels that alumni re-sources other than monetary should by Lisa Mills This year something new was added for the student who starts Bethel at mid-year. Welcome Week activities were held last week for all new transfer and readmit students. Co-chairmen Nan Goss and. George Beyer headed • up a well-organized staff of nine Welcome Week workers. Nan remarked, "George was a transfer student last year and it was his idea to plan such activities for this year's students." The activities started Sat., Jan. 28 with an orientation night and a pizza party. On Sunday the students were taken home by various faculty mem-bers for church and dinner. Group stress activities on Sunday afternoon involved putting six people on a be utilized. Not only would better communica-tion with alumni benefit the students, but the Alumni Office believes it would give the alumni new ways to better serve and be excited about their alma mater. The Bethel alumni structure in-cludes a National Alumni Council (NAC) which meets once a year, and an executive council that meets once a month. The NAC has 15 members, six of which are on the executive council. It is Fauth's proposed plan to or-ganize a student committee to meet with this national group in hopes of discovering how the alumni can better serve Bethel's present students. balance beam trying to get from one end to the other. It was "quite interesting," ac-cording to Nan Goss who called it one of the highlights of Welcome Week. Sunday night brought a vesper service led by Bob Peota and Diane Lloyd. Monday the Welcome Week activities came to a climax at the Faculty Talent Show, when Paul Kling presented the "Three Little Pigs Operetta." Christini Green from Washington said, "I really didn't know anyone at Bethel when I came. I think Welcome Week for second semester people is a fantastic idea." She went on to say, "I was able, through the activities, to make friends more quickly."

The Royals won this match, 81-77 last Monday night. Forfeits stop grapplers from gaining victory over Cans Senior Doug Erickson in recent game against St. John's. Miller rips for 34 points in losing effort to Gusties Doug 'E' Erickson continues to shine on the Royal hardcourt by Greg Kuntz At the onset of the 1977-78 basket-ball season for the Royals, premiering in the MIAC conference, first-year Coach Jim Bragg said of senior Doug "E" Erickson that "he would develop into his full potential by mid-season." So far, the 6'7" center has hit 50 per cent from the field and has been mobile besides being one of the Royals' leading rebounders. Erickson grew up in Blue Island, Ill. (one of Chicago's countless suburbs.) and started his basketball career in the Christian Service Brigade in sixth grade. "I was the worst player who ever started there," chuckled Erickson. He continued to play church league in high school when he represented Salem Baptist in the Covenant League. "We were the only Baptist church in the Covenant League, I guess because they thought we Baptists were rowdies from a long time ago," laughed Erickson. His team won the conference all three years he played, even though he didn't actually start until his senior year. He had fun with other op-portunities including singing in an octet comprised of teammates. "One time after we won a tourna-ment in Joliet, they asked us to sing after the game," Erickson recalled. The group went to singing contests at Baptist General Conference "con-tacts" in Moline, Ill. and in Seattle. "We had a lot of chances for outreach this way," said Doug. It's been a goal of Erickson's to make a college team. "When I was a sophomore in high school I heard that I wouldn't make it since I didn't play in regular high school competition," said Erickson. Now 6'7", he was a mere 5'8", 105 lb. runt as a high school sophomore and 6'4" by the end of high school. "I had to be realistic. I felt I didn't stand a chance in regular high school ball." He sang in the Bethel Male Chorus his freshman year, trying out for it the day after he was cut from basketball. "My roommate Mike Anderson was in it and he suggested it," said Doug. As a sophomore under Coach Jack Trager, Erickson played J.V. and as a junior under Roger Davis he played in all the J.V. games and started some on varsity. "E" explained how he got his name. "Tim Engebretson was the original "E" here and when I joined the team T.K. (Tom Koenigsberg) started calling me "slim E," so I guess I've taken sole possession of the name for now." Erickson believes his relationship with people and the team have grown in his years at Bethel. "I feel there's a tightness with the team like our church league team had," said Doug. Erickson has another year of eligi-bility but he doesn't think he'll be back to play it out. He is a business-economics major and is aiming td work up in the business world and keep playing church league ball. His fiance, Carrie, teaches mathe-matics in Rockford, Ill. and their wedding is set for this June. "She's helped me a lot and always tells me what I should work on in basketball," said Doug. "The school and the team have given me confidence, and I've met a lot of fun, super people. I wouldn't be anywhere else. One of the biggest things I've learned is not to make excuses. I want to go out and play as hard as I can and have fun." by Steve Erickson Despite the hot shooting of Ray Miller who had 34 points, Bethel was downed by Gustavus 81-74 before a large home crowd last Saturday night. A dry spell midway through the second half did the Royals in as they were outscored 25-12 the first 12 minutes of the second stanza. Al-though Bethel rallied late in the game, they could never get closer than four points away. The Gusties were led by guard John Mattke and forward Mark Tiemann. Mattke scored 18 and Tiemann tallied 21. Miller was most of the offense for Bethel, making 14 of 18 field goal attempts. Curt Oslin and hustling Greg Peterson added 12 apiece. Playing good defense, Bethel took the lead early in the first half. Then Gustavus changed defenses. Bethel had trouble adjusting to the man-to-man defense and the Gusties fought back. They took a 35-34 lead into the He recalled, "One time a girl I was introduced to found out I was called "E" and she said 'Oh, I always yell for you at games and I never knew who you were!"' So basketball fans, the next time you're at a game in the Bethel gym, #45 is the man you're shouting "E" about. locker room at half-time. Miller had 22 points and kept the Royals close. Gustavus started the second half with a couple fast break baskets. They stretched the lead to 14 midway through the period and seemed as if they were going to run away with the contest. At 60-46 Bethel started a comeback led by Oslin and Peterson. The 6'1" Oslin scored all his points in the second half and eight of them in a minute-and-a-half stretch. Peterson pumped in several long range shots and played scrappy defense. Bethel narrowed the margin to 64-60 but could never get any closer. The Royals connected on more field goals than the visitors but Gustavus converted 13 more free throws. Bethel outrebounded the Gusties 32-26. Mil-ler and Tom Koenigsberg shared game honors with seven apiece. One of the Gustavus coaches called continued on page 7 by Carol Madison Although the Bethel wrestling team was unable to overcome an automatic 18 point deficit in its loss to Carleton, the grapplers still wrestled their best match of the season so far. Bethel had to give up 18 points in forfeits, but some aggressive, intense wrestling made the 30-15 loss closer than the score would indicate. The team had to come from behind in its last home match of the season, and according to Coach Klostreich, every-one did the best they could do. Lonnie Holmgren wrestled his best match of the season, and Gary Almquist and Greg Heinsch also by Steve Erickson Playing one of the better teams it will face this year, the Bethel hockey team bowed to the Augsburg junior varsity 12-6 Wednesday Feb. 1. Augsburg overwhelmed the less-talented Royals, especially in the first two periods. The final shots on goal pointed this out. Augsburg bombed goalie George Fraser with 63 shots while Bethel had only 23. Despite allowing 12 goals, Fraser stopped at least another dozen scoring opportu-nities. Bethel stayed close, trailing only 3-2 early in the second period, before the Augies ran off a string of five straight goals to put the game out of reach. Scoring goals for the Royals turned in fine performances. Dave Fuller lost at 118, but has been steadily improving throughout the season. Jim Schultz also lost, but it was his first match of the season, and conditioning was the big factor in his loss. In a previous loss to Concordia and Augsburg, Bethel was not able to wrestle a full team, which was the main factor in the loss. Bethel faces conference contender St. Thomas in the Gustavus Adolphus Triangular at 1:00 p.m. on Feb. 11. The season concludes with the MIAC meet at Concordia-Moorhead on the 18th. were Fred Hage and John Selvog who each had a pair and Mark Olson and Greg Correll with single goals. "I wasn't disappointed," said Coach Dave Harris. "We got better as the game went on. We haven't had any tough competition since Christ-mas. It was hard to get organized." As far as talent was concerned, Augsburg had it over the Royals. Harris said, "They would be com-petitive with many varsity teams in the MIAC." In other games played recently, Bethel crushed a weak Bethany team 17-3 and defeated the alumni 2-1. Upcoming games include encounters with the Hamline and St. Olaf varsity teams and a rematch with Rochester Junior College. Augies overwhelm Bethel in recent hockey action Page 8 |
