Bookstore buy-back policies explained
by Suzi wells
Like everyone else, students
get tired of waiting in lines and
paying high prices for food,
tuition and books. The buy-back
window in the Bethel bookstore
has been a problem because of
long waits and the feeling of
geting "gypped" in the past.
However, according to Wanda
Nelson, assistant bookstore ma-nager,
Bethel's buy-back policy is
liberal. "We give students ten
school days after classes begin to
return their books," she ex-plained.
At other schools, if students do
not have sales slips, the bookstore
will seldom take books back. Here
at Bethel, only ten per cent of the
price is reduced without a receipt.
At the beginning of the se-mester,
long lines for returning
and low prices for books are not
problems. At this time, students
are refunded all or 90 per cent of
their money. But the problem of
lines and money comes when
students return used books.
Students may feel discouraged
at the buy-back line at the end of
the term for several reasons. First
of all, the Follet Company buys all
used books that Bethel will not
use again. The bookstore will pay
students three-fourths of the price
of clothbound books and two-thirds
the price of paperbacks. As
a service to Bethel, the Follet
Company buys other used books
but does not pay top dollar for
them.
Another reason students may
be discouraged is because they
sell books back at the wrong time.
"Some books are used every
term, but most are not," Nelson
pointed out. She said that stu-dents
should sell books for a fall
semester course at the end of a
spring term. This increases the
likelihood that Bethel will use the
books again.
Finally, some students may feel
that long lines and limited time to
sell used books are problems.
One reason for that problem is
that Bethel only buys back books
for two days at the end of each
semester. However, the book-store
managers feel this is ade-quate
time for students. Also, the
person from the used book com-pany
is only on campus for two
days to buy books.
Last winter, long lines and slow
service were problems because an
inexperienced person from the
used book company was in charge
of buying books.
Two years ago, Bob Bergerud,
former bookstore manager,
bought back used books, regard-less
of whether or not Bethel
could use them. He bought these
books over a period of three
weeks. Since his death, the
bookstore has not been able to
give this service.
"We don't have anyone ca-pable
of doing that like he was,"
said Mike Rowe, bookstore re-ceiving
manager. "It's a very
complicated business, knowing
when things are going out of
print."

THE CLARION
by Paul Varberg
Though he was once all-otit for
his rock group and drugs, Jay
Caress is now all-out for Christ
and Bethel, in his new post as
director of outreach.
Seven years ago Caress could
never have imagined himself pro-moting
a Christian school like
Bethel to prospective college stu-dents.
He had far different
dreams, that grew out of the poli-tical
rebellions of the Vietnam
War and heavy use of drugs.
While in the Air Force in the
late sixties, Caress, whose Christ-ian
background was minimal,
began to use drugs. In 1969 he
was stationed in Vietnam where
he took amphetamines so heavily
that he lost 50 pounds.
"Vietnam was a breeding
ground for radicals," he said.
While he was there he went
through a political "conversion"
and began to seek ways to change
the system. He thought of himself
as a "prophet" of political change
and brotherly love. "This was the
'in' thing of the late sixties," he
explained.
He felt the best way he could
communicate his message to the
world was through songs. So he
began to write songs and sing
with his guitar.
When he got out of the Air
Force he started a rock group
called Songbird. While in Los
Angeles in the spring of 1970, he
recorded his first two singles. It
was not till he moved to Vancou-ver
that they were released and
distributed throughout Canada
and Europe.
Caress did not just sing rock,
he also sang folk songs in coffee
houses in Vancouver's famed
Gastown district.
Caress soon tired of this kind of
life and began to lose his belief in
his songs. He quit the group and
returned to the midwest where he
married his wife, Gail, in May of
1971.
He was unsatisfied with the
type of life he had been living and
began to search for a new way of
life. Through the prayer and
witness of some Christian friends
both he and his wife came to know
the Lord in June of that year.
The Caresses began to seek to
develop this new life they had
found in Christ Jesus. They came
to Bethel that fall and began to
write and sing Christian songs in
their spare time. During the
summer of 1973 they went on a
singing tour of the Western
United States and Canada which
was sponsored by Bethel.
Graduating in 1975 with a
major in communications, Caress
went to Wheaton College Gradu-ate
School in communications.
While there he became the editor
of the world-wide news letter of
the "Lausanne Committee on
World Evangelization."
He later worked as high school
electives editor for Scripture
Press Publications. This involved
editing paperback books, and he
began thinking about writing a
book himself.
This summer he did research
on Hank Williams, a big man in
country music who died in 1952 at
the age of 29. Caress is presently
writing two hours a day on a bio-graphy
on Williams.
He already has a contract with
Stein & Day, in New York, to
publish the book in 1978. He
chose Hank Williams because, "I
was a fan of his and see so many
universal themes and messages
tied in to his life."
Caress gladly returned to Be-thel
this fall with his wife and
two-year-old son Adam. He feels
committed to Bethel. "It was here
that my wife and I were discipled
in our Christian walk and we
would like to see other young
people helped like we were," he
said.
As Bethel's director of out-reach,
Caress has three basic res-ponsibilities.
He works with the
College Relations office in pro-ducing
multi-media presentations
to promote Bethel. He also heads
the operations of the Field Ad-missions
Representatives, and he
schedules tours for the band and
choir.
On the side, Caress serves as
Bethel's sports information direc-tor
and also works with the team
that is currently producing a film
on campus.

Letters to the Editor
Student claims
community falls
short of model
Dear editor,
Bethel is people. Or is it? We
who have been here for at least a
year have heard this expression
drummed into our heads on
several occasions. And we agree.
Bethel is people.
We observe our friends, our
professors, our R.A.'s, and we
conclude through our relation-ships
with these people that
Bethel is them. And Bethel is us.
How could it be anything else?
Dr. Virgil Olson spoke on our
campus last week and he made a
significant observation relative to
the atmosphere and commitment
of a Christian college. He said
that the single most important
factor in maintaining a Christian
community is the spiritual tem-perature
of the students. And
he's right.
But what happens when this
spiritual temperature reaches ze-ro
and keeps dropping?
I am not claiming that God's
Spirit is nonexistent on this
campus. I am claiming that the
attitude of the students on this
campus—including myself—often
exhibits a definite lack of God's
Spirit.
Recently, Doc Dalton closed
down his coffee shop. The rea-son?
The users of both him and
his corner failed consistently to
return the cups provided for their
use.
Day after day, Doc could be
found roaming the hallways of the
campus, searching for the cups
that negligent students had left in
bathrooms, T.A. offices, class-rooms,
corners by the library,
under sofas and so forth. Each
day Doc picked up these cups.
And each day he repeated the
routine he had performed the day
before. So he closed down, frus-trated,
aggravated, and used.
Consider the administration
that continues to increase the
enrollment of Bethel. The stu-dents
keep coming, more and
more each year. But the facilities
reflect the depravity of the cam-pus.
Coffee shop and cafeteria are
consistently overcrowded. Park-ing
lots are always full.
And then there's the IM bas-ketball
player who continually
swears beneath his breath as his
team is trampled by 30 points in
a B-League contest. What hap-pens
to him?
When was the last time you sat
down at a table in the coffee shop
and had to remove the empty

Rider criticizes
bus system
Dear editor,
I have been frustrated lately
with the Bethel bus system. For
instance, the bus leaves new
campus for old campus at 1:15
p.m. every Sunday, while most
old campus residents are still
eating dinner in the cafeteria.
In order to make the bus, one has
to "chow down" relatively fast
after arriving from church about
12:45 p.m. Generally, the bus
leaves early anyway, and stu-dents
are stuck on new campus
until the next bus leaves for old
campus at 3:30 p.m.
I realize that bus scheduling
with Fountain Terrace this year
has not been easy, but I do think
it is ridiculous for off campus
residents to have to wait over two
hours just because the driver
decided to leave two minutes
early. The problem of waiting is
greatest on weekends, when the
bus runs only about every 90
minutes.
One time the bus left before I
was ready to at 11 p.m. I raced
down the gym steps, sure the
time was exactly 11. Shouting and
frantically waving my arms were
of no avail, but luckily some
friends in the parking lot were old
campus-bound. What could I do if
I was stuck on new campus at 11
p.m.?
Another problem is the driving
habits of some of the bus drivers.
Besides leaving early (one driver
of the 3:40 bus left about. 3:30),
the drivers seem at times to be in
a contest with other drivers to
see how fast they can get from
one campus to another.
Sometimes drivers forget to
stop at Rosedale. A friend of mine
was stranded at Rosedale one day
for over two hours because the
bus failed to pick her up. I have
also been at Har Mar and
watched as the Bethel bus drove
right past me.
Overcrowding is another pro-blem,
which has somewhat been
alleviated by the addition of 7:45,
8:45 and another 10 a.m. bus at
old campus. However, in the
event that one of the morning.
buses does not make it to old
campus, two normal bus loads are
packed into one.
Other problems have to do with
the buses themselves. The blue
bus sometimes has trouble start-ing.
One day our bowling class
took the blue bus to Brighton
Lanes, and the battery died on the
way back. Another time the bus
failed to pick up Fountain Terrace
residents in the morning and as a
result, many students were late
for classes.
Perhaps one solution to the bus
dilemma would be a way students
could notify the school if a bus
happened to leave them stranded,
so at least the next bus would be
able to pick them up. Or maybe
drivers could be more careful in
their driving habits, and try to
remember who is at Rosedale and
when to pick them up.
But perhaps the problem lies
not in the drivers or the schedul-ing,
but in the fact that Bethel
does not want to put the time or
money to improve the bus sys-tem
in hopes of housing everyone
on new campus soon.
In the meantime, it's okay for
drivers to run the buses into the
ground—what use will buses be if
all students live on new campus
next year or those off campus
drive? Perhaps all we can do is
wait for the time when we will all
be a real community on one
campus and not involved in a
bussing program.

Solutions offered
reparking dilemma
In the Sept. 23rd issue of the Clarion the parking problem on new
campus was addressed with a front page article. Although many of the
questions pertaining to the existing dilemma were answered, it still left
some unanswered.
Since the printing of that article the problems with parking one's car
on new campus have remained relatively the same, peaking on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Although many students
have taken the problem into their own hands by parking on grassy
areas adjacent to the east lot, it still will not settle future problems
dealing with the parking situation.
The future problems to which we are referring are twofold. The first
considers the coming winter months, when snow will be piled
knee-deep around the campus. When students begin to park on those
grassy areas by the east lot in the deep snow, it may take some time to
get them out. When the snow melts in the spring, the problem will be
greatly increased when those grassy areas become muddy areas and
when the gravel lot adjacent to the circle lot becomes muddier than it
already is.
The second future problem we see comes with increased enrollment.
More students generally mean more cars. Just how many cars is open
to debate, but the increase in autos is bound to complicate the problem.
At this point we should stop and pause to thank Jim Walcott, director
of security and parking, for the great strides he has made in trying to
alleviate this problem. Although he has fallen short in some instances,
most of the fault does not lie with him, but rather with students and
administrative policies.
Our first suggestion to alleviate the parking dilemma was first
suggested by Walcott in a Sept. 23rd parking memo to students. This
plan calls for students to either take the Bethel bus if they live on old
campus or in Fountain Terrace, or to form car pools for those living off
campus. Of course, this would cause an inconvenience to those not
living on new campus, but we believe the inconvenience is worthwhile
when one considers an increase in the amount of blacktopped surface
on new campus.
The second is a much more drastic proposal, but we believe it
deserves some consideration. This would be to disallow freshmen from
having cars. Before any upperclassmen begin to laugh, or before
freshmen become overly irate, let us explain this position. This is not
the first time such a position has been proposed. Colleges such as
Wheaton and St. Olaf have instituted such programs to keep an
overabundance of cars off campus.
We would also like to stress the point that this should be the last
measure taken to relieve parking problems. To deny someone the right
to use his car borders on the brink of communism in the minds of some
people. We would not want anyone to think we were communists.
Parking at Bethel is still a major problem, and must be recognized as
such. But it must be urged that most of the problem lies in the hands of
the students. Will the students leave their cars at home?

Interim at Bethel brings fond
memories to all of us who have
survived past winters at this
institution. The most notable
memories stem from those infor-mative
classes that are offered
during this one-month adventure.
Recently the editors of this
paper were able to obtain a list of
some of the classes that were
turned down by the dean's office
as possible selections for interim
1978. We thought that the student
body should be alerted to the
ideas going through the heads of
faculty members at Bethel Col-lege.
Here are just a few of those
course selections:
Bankruptcy 1—Another one of
Robert Weaver's "how to do"
courses, this class focuses in on
the proper method of going
bankrupt. Students will be taught
the proper method of going about
securing a loan from the federal
government to pay for their
education and then declare bank-ruptcy
upon graduation. Special
speakers will be brought in, most
notably Bert Lance, former di-rector
of the office of manage-ment
and budgeting for the
federal government, and former
editors of the Bethel Clarion.
Man in the Swamp—This class,
taught by Bethel's own scuba
diving expert Bob Weathers, will
focus on the marine ecology of
Valentine Lake. Unfortunately,
since Valentine Lake will be
frozen over, this class may turn
into a polar bear diving class. In
such instances the class will
become a geology class centering
on the formation of ice crystals on
polar bear divers after emerging
from the frozen wasteland of
Valentine Lake.
Barefoot Approach to English—
This class will center on those
people who failed to learn English
the first time around and hope to
Over the

Enrollment at Bethel Seminary
has reached a new high of 470

This year's total includes 25
students registered in Bethel's
extension program in San Diego
which opened this fall. 47 stu-dents
are enrolled at Bethel in

highest professional degree pro-gram
for ordained persons in
church ministries.
Of the 470 enrolled, 41 are
women. Nearly half of the stu-dents

groups and 21 other denomina-tions
are represented also in the
student body.
get a second chance. Students
will go around the class smelling
each other's feet and learning the
proper words to attribute to such
a smell. .
The Cultures of Swedish peo-ples—
This course will attempt to
answer the question, "Why are
Swedes so dumb?" In order to
answer this question, only one
Swede will be able to enroll in the
class to be examined by 19
Norwegians. If this question fails
to get answered, we will know
that the same question applies to
all Scandinavians.
Creative Photography and
Rocks: Team taught by Linda
Rossi and Russell Johnson, this
course hopes to help shy photo-graphers
by encouraging them to
photograph rocks and submit
these "photos to "Passages" for
publication in the spring edition.
Modern Methods of Basket
weaving: This course hopes to
expand on the first semester class
dealing with primitive methods of
basket weaving. Unfortunately
this class is only open to spring
sports participants who need an
easy "A" in order to remain
eligible to play. It is also unfor-tunate
that an instructor has not
yet been found to teach this
course. It has been rumored that
one of the University's finest
basket weaving profs will be the
instructor since there are an
abundance of them at the "U."
Accounting for Pet Shop
Owners: Taught by Bethel's new
by Sari Winans
Every Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
the Bethel food service offers to
students and the public a stu-dent-
run restaurant called The
Royal Oak Room.
At 3:30 p.m. the coffee shop
closes and students begin to
transform the place into a fancy
restaurant. Colored tablecloths
cover the tables, floating candles
provide the only lighting, and
fresh flowers add the finishing
touch. Different Bethel students
provide live music each week,
playing everything from Bach to
John Denver.
The Oak Room is co-headed by
hostess Deanne Barnum and cook
Paul Jepsen.
Deanne said that menus fea-ture
steak, lobster, shrimp, chick-en
and more for reasonable
prices. The Oak Room is well-known
for it's all-you-can-eat
salad bar. The salad bar includes
nine different items and four or
five different dressings, for only
two dollars.
The Oak Room is beginning its
third year and it has grown each
year. Deanne has been with the
Oak Room three years and has
seen much change.
"It started in the original Oak
Room off the side of the cafeteria
accounting instructor, Roger
Oxendale, this class hopes to
teach the proper accounting
methods for those Bethel stu-dents
who hope to own pet shops
when they graduate. Questions
such as, "How do I credit my
account when a parakeet dies?"
and "Do I debit my cash account
when a farmer buys my animal
waste?" will be dealt with.
Depression [Era] Dating: Since
dating at Bethel is already in a
depressed state, students will
stay on campus to learn about
dating during the depression era.
Applications of this class will in-clude
sitting in the parlor togeth-er
with the rest of the family,
using a horse and buggy for tran-sportation
in the middle of win-ter,
and never kissing a date
until one is ready for marriage.
Since these situations already
exist on the Bethel campus, the
administration did not believe the
students would gain any further
knowledge from this class and
therefore cancelled it.
We hope that some of these
course selections will show just
how eager Bethel professors are
when it comes to teaching interim
classes. If some of you wish to see
these classes put in the curricu-lum
for next year, I would advise
you not to approach the dean with
such ideas, but rather get your-self
on a student-faculty commit-tee
where more people can see
just how foolish you are to take
seriously anything printed in this
newspaper.
employing one waitress and
waiter. The second year we had a
bigger staff and were still in the
same location," she said. "Busi-ness
grew and we had trouble
serving customers efficiently. Last
spring we moved into the coffee
shop on a trial basis and it worked
so well that this location is now
permanent."
Today the Oak Room employs
six waitresses, three waiters,
three cooks, three salad girls, two
hostesses, one busboy, and two
kitchen people.
The Oak Room has not been
publicized much this year. The
reason for this, Deanne noted, is
that the purpose for the first few
weeks is to see where improve-ments
can be made, how many
customers they will average a
week, and to give everyone
experience.
Deanne is satisfied with the
progress made by the student-run
restaurant so far and summed it
up saying, "It's hard running a
student restaurant where the
workers are my friends. I don't
like to boss and yet I am
responsible to see that things get
done. It's important that we work
together as a team and I think
we're beginning to accomplish
that."
Closed
minds
Open
mouths
by David Shelley
Once when I was very young, a grown-up asked me the primeval
question, "What are you going to be when you grow up?"
I looked up with a cute grin and Innocently retorted, "I'm going to be
an adult."
Now, I don't know why that short dialogue has stuck in my mind,
except for the fact that I have spent most of my life growing toward that
goal. But the implication was a significant one that just being an adult
(or just being) was special enough.
Everyone seems to be geared toward becoming something. That is
all fine and good. Our society encourages it. But beyond that, we tend
to honor and revere people who have made a big name because "they
have really become something."
People flock to get Tom Netherton's autograph. Freshmen girls thrill
to have their picture made with B.J. Thomas, and dream about it for
weeks afterward.
The sad thing is, when we say B.J. Thomas is "really something,"
we imply that the hundreds of people we come in contact with everyday
are not really something. Not yet, anyway.
They are something. Sure that sounds trite, but give it some
thought. "Oh, but they're not celebrities," someone will say.
Well, so what? There are musicians at Bethel who will never cut an
album that have more individual talent than B.J. Thomas or Tom
Netherton, and I don't think I'm putting down either of them.
When I start to count the people I admire and respect the most, only
a select few would be termed "widely known or renowned." Because
the people who have the most to admire and respect are those who are
stronger in areas like humility and love and serving others. If you need
a Biblical base for this try Mark 10:13-16 or 1 Cor. 13:1-3 or maybe
Matt. 19:21,22.
Another sad correlation is that usually the "bigger" a person
becomes, the more he is forced to focus attention on himself, and the
less he is available to be open and helpful to others.
My father is a professor who teaches six days a week (if you count a
Sunday school class), edits, writes for publication and speaks
frequently at various conferences. He has turned down numerous
offers for "higher" jobs in schools and publications, because he feels it
is important to teach.
He spends time talking to students everyday. But what means the
most to me is the time he has spent taking his family out for dinner,
and attending his kids' innumerable track meets, band concerts and
football games.
The adult that made an impact on my life as I grew up was not the
ballplayer or singer who gave me an autograph. It was the adult who
asked me what position I played on the junior high football team.
I remember the adult who complemented my new red jacket when I
was in first grade. I remember the adult who, when I had my plastic toy
soldiers scattered over the family room floor, asked me who was
winning as if it really mattered. Now he was really something.
And I appreciate now the prof who invites me in when I drop by his
office, or the friend who invites me to go along when he is going
shopping at Rosedale. Those people don't have to become something.
They are something.
I am always moved by a story my dad used to tell about a family that
went out to a nice restaurant one day. As the waitress was taking
orders she asked the little boy, "And what would you like?"
"I'd like a hot dog," he said.
"He'll have roast beef and mashed potatoes," said his mother.
Ignoring the interruption, the waitress asked, "And what would you
like on your hot dog?"
"Ketchup and mustard," returned the little boy.
"He'll have gravy on his roast beef and mashed potatoes," said his
mother, in a slightly louder tone of voice.
The waitress went on. "And what would you like to drink with your
hot dog?"
"Root beer," said the little boy.
"He will have milk with his roast beef and mashed potatoes," stated
his mother.
"Root beer," the waitress repeated as she wrote it on the check and
walked away.
Wide-eyed, the little boy watched the waitress turn away, then looked
up at his mother and proclaimed, "Wow, she must think I'm real!"
A step up...
The Student Life Committee wants to take a step up in the
right direction. We need your help. Tell us what you would like
improved at Bethel. Make your wishes known at the table by the
PO's Tues., Nov. 1.

More than half of the semester is over now, and the Student Senate
is active around the campus.
A recommendation was sent to Dean Brushaber this past week
requesting a revision of the current method of charging for
independent study credits. The recommendation requests that the cost
of independent study programs be based on an equitable scale
dependent on the amount of time an instructor devotes to the class
experience and how much campus facilities are used.
Such a revision would greatly benefit the students. Currently any
type of independent study program is charged the same tuition fee as
any regular class. Some students have taken an independent study
course where their only contact with Bethel is handing in a paper to one
of the professors for evaluation. Hopefully Dean Brushaber will act
upon this recommendation in a positive manner.
The buzzer system should be installed into Fountain Terrace by the
end of November. Tentatively, the system will consist of a telephone
system. Because the system will operate through the Bethel
switchboard it will be necessary to dial nine to reach the people inside.
Such a system will help alleviate the problem now caused by the
inability of visitors to contact anyone inside of the apartments.
The final, official figures on enrollment have just been issued by the
Office of the Registrar. The total number of full-time and part-time
students is 1867. The 102 part-time students are taking only 168
courses. This means that the part-time students are the equivalent of
56 (168 divided by 3) full-time students. These numbers give us a total
of 1807 full-time and full-time equivalent students. When one
considers that the enrollment limit for this year is 1825 the figures of
1867 and 1807 are not too unreasonable.
There is a problem this year in the area of equal enrollment of men
and women. This year the men hold the advantage over the women by
having a total number of only 826. The total number of women is 1041.
In the freshman class there is a total of 638 students, 250 men and
388 women. The sophomore class has a total of 511 members, 229 men
and 282 women. In the junior class there are 378 students, 179 men and
199 women. Seniors are in the minority on campus with only 305
members in their class, 150 men and 155 women.
Returning from last year are 1176 students. These students have
been supplemented by 528 new freshmen and 144 transfers.
I would like to encourage more students to use the new student
activities room. It is a good place to relax. There are plenty of tables so
you can bring your food in there if the coffee shop is too crowded. If
your studies have you frustrated, you can take it out on the foosball or
pool tables. I would like to remind you to try to keep the room clean.
Also report any equipment damage to either the Student Affairs Office
or to the Student Senate so that we can replace the broken equipment
as soon as possible.
Everyone will be happy to know that the Royal Rosters should be
here in plenty of time for Nik Dag. If they are not here by now they
should arrive the first week of November. When they arrive you can
pick one up at the concession stand near the gym. I would like to thank
Roster editor Priscilla Golz and all of the other people who helped her
in putting together the Roster. It took a lot of their time and effort.
Ideal family lifestyle shown
by geese on Lake Valentine
by James Wiegner
Rarely does one take a walk by
Lake Valentine without seeing our
fine feathered, rare, Canadian
geese.
This month marks the first
anniversary of Canadian geese on
Lake Valentine. These once na-tive
birds were thought to be
extinct 25 years ago. But through
volunteer efforts of concerned
groups the birds have now popu-lated
themselves to safer levels.
The geese on Lake Valentine
are taken care of by the Arden
Hills Sportsmen Club. Mr. Dean
Dahlgren and Mr. Don Grant,
club members, explained, "We
volunteer our time and money to
raise geese for everyone's enjoy-ment."
Both of these men and others of
the club supply food each day and
care for injured geese.
"The birds are fascinating
creatures," expressed Dahlgren.
"They have the ideal family
lifestyle."
Once geese get to a mature
age, about three years old, they
choose a life-long mate. If one
partner should die, the remaining
goose stays single until death.
Geese have also been known to
commit suicide if their mate dies.
After the marriage the newly
weds choose their nesting place.
The nesting place is home for the
geese and each succeeding year
they will return to the exact same
nesting, to raise their next family.
The duty of raising the geese
family requires equal effort for
both male and female birds. "If
the female gets tired of sitting on
the eggs the male takes over,"
said Dahlgren.
Geese are very violent during
breeding time. If anything should
approach the nest the geese will
defend their little ones. "Geese
can render killing blows to small
animals, with their strong
wings," Grant commented.
"They also bite hard. I know
because I was bit."
Geese in captivity live about 25
years and are between 25-30
pounds. On the other hand, wild
geese live six to seven years and
weigh around 12 pounds.
"The geese have been very
productive this year." Dahlgren
added, "We started with 33 blue
banded geese and they had 45
young. Next year we expect the
flock to be 150 strong."
He continued, "The young stay
because this is home; only the
original 33 geese had their wings
clipped."
It was difficult to accept the fact
that all these birds had no marital
problems. Dahlgren replied, "Do
you see that ugly, old, stiff-leg-ged,
brokened-winged female?
Well, that female has the sharp-est,
strongest, most handsome
male goose in the whole flock.
Now tell me, isn't that commit-ment?"

paper cups, crusty dishes, asun-dry
globs of ketchup, ice, Pepsi
and moldy pickles?
Have you ever looked for a book
in the library only to find it
missing, not checked out, just
plain not there?
Or have you ever been nearly
run down crossing the road from
Bremer field by a race-crazed
driver, late for his 2:30 class?
How often have you said thank
you to the campus coordinators,
the janitors, a chapel speaker or
your roommate?
Sad but true. The spiritual tern-perature
of the students is being
strangled. But we're not being
exploited by the administra-tion,
the faculty, the surround-ings
or society. We're exploiting
ourselves.
What then is a Christian com-munity?
Pastor Spickelmier has ad-dressed
several aspects of this
question already in chapels this
year. He has mentioned such
things as forgiveness, commit-ment
to one another, and the
support of the Body as well as the
responsibility of that Body. He
continually hits us with the practi-calities
of Christian living.
But some of the community
isn't even there to hear. And the
others of us either fail to listen or
rather simply ignore his words
and read our newspapers, write
our letters, and study for stats,
Greek, calculus, and others.
Welcome Week this year began
with the theme, "I Shall Seek
Thee Earnestly," derived from
Psalm 63. Do we seek God earn-estly?
Or do we try to live in
blatant disregard of each other,
ourselves, and God?
In the midst of all this is the
pressure of the administration to
increase the number of faculty
with doctoral degrees. The result
is sometimes the elimination of a
professor guilty of developing
rapport with students, a rapport
which enables the professors to
ask the student into his office to
chat, to discuss family or emo-tional
problems, or to pray. But
with the rise - of academia, this
atmosphere has crumbled.
Where does it stop? Do we con-tinue
to pass the buck and blame
our problems upon the admini-stration?
Do we continue to live
within the confines of our judge-mental,
prideful, self-concerned,
apathetic little worlds consisting
of only those people who fit into
our concept of friend? Or do we
step out and follow the command
of Christ which requires that we
love our brother, whether he be a
friend or not?
But what is Christian love?
John wrote in his first epistle very
strongly of the kind of love we are
to have for one another. And he
didn't suggest it for just a few. He
wrote what he did because Christ
commanded that all men love one
another.
"He who says he is in the light
and hates his brother is in the
darkness still. He who loves his
brother abides in the light, and in
it there is no cause for stumb-ling.
But he who hates his
brother is in the darkness and
walks in the darkness, and does

7 pm evening
by Thangi Chhangte
An instructor at Bethel has an
antique violin. He is Stephen
Majeske, a violin soloist from the
Minnesota Orchestra.
Five months ago, he bought his
1776 violin from the concert-master
of the London Symphony
Orchestra. It was made by To-masso
Balestrieri of Cremona,
Italy.
Stephen and his wife Susan are
part-time music instructors at
Bethel. Sue has been giving piano
lessons at Bethel since Feb.,
1976. Steve started teaching at
Bethel this fall, after an absence
of two years.
The Majeskes often give reci-tals
and concerts together. Being
so close is convenient because
they can anticipate each other's
moves.
However, they have to get
along before they perform. Once
they had an argument that lasted
throughout a recital. Sue would
rush when she knew that Steve
had a hard spot, and he would do
the same to her.
Susan loves to perform. Once
when she was nine, she forgot to
quit while playing the offertory.
Her mother came and dragged
her away after she had been
going on for at least ten minutes.
Steve and Sue met at his
father's concert at Cleveland,
Ohio. They were seniors in high
school. It was love at first sight
and they were married as soon as
they graduated from college.
Steve is exactly a foot taller (and
100 pounds heavier) than Sue.
Steve started taking lessons
from his father when he was six.
His father, Daniel Majeske, is the
concertmaster of the Cleveland
Orchestra.
When he was 17, Ivan Gala-mian,
one of the most famous
music teachers of this century,
accepted Steve as a student. He
studied with Ivan for three years
at the Curtis Institute of Music,
Philadelphia.
Lorin Maazel was the conductor
of the Cleveland Orchestra when
18-year-old Steve made his solo
debut. Since then Steve has
performed with several orches-tras
and given concerts at places
like the Severance Hall and the
Minnesota Orchestra Hall.
Susan is the only musical one
out of a family of five girls. She
began taking piano lessons when
she was six. Her father would
drive her to her lessons even
though it took an hour to get
there. Her parents took her to as
many concerts as they could.
While she was studying, she
performed regularly as a soloist
and as an accompanist.
Sue has had some of the best
teachers from the Cleveland Insti-tute
of Music and from the
Julliard School. She has a Bache-lor
of Music degree from the
Cleveland Institute and from Case
Western Reserve University. She
is also a member of Phi Kappa
Lambda.
Steve's hobbies are flying and
target shooting. He also teaches
11 students, nine of whom are
from Bethel.
Besides performing, Sue likes
to cook and watch soap operas.
She practices at least three to four
hours a day. She finds chamber
music gratifying and she also
likes German composers.
Steve's mother and sister are
pianists, and Sue often performs
with them. She still likes to take
lessons from her father-in-law.
Sue and Steve are expecting
their first baby in March. Steve
said he expects a boy but he
wants a girl because "girls are
nicer."
Sue plans to put on a Mozart
Symphony as soon as they bring
the baby home. They would like
to have musical child so they can
perform together as a family.
When is Bethel's gymnasium
not a gymnasium? When a great
performer turns it into a concert
hall, as happened when guest
baritone Carl Gerbrandt was here
Oct. 4. Unfortunately, casual
chapel-going habits may not al-ways
make that transition.
Richard Evidon wrote a brilli-ant
article for the last issue of
"Prelude," the St. Paul Chamber
Orchestra's program magazine.
Entitled "The well-tempered au-dience,
Of Emily Post in the
concert hall," his cryptic advice
can't be topped.
Here follows a few of Evidon's
pointers most applicable to a di-vergent
student body turned in-stant
concert-goer by a 10:20 a.m.
music convocation.
"There are, naturally, conven-tions
to guide the listeners as
there are others for the musi-cians.
Some of these must look
and sound very mysterious to the
newcomer. The following brief
observations about concert rules
and rituals are intended for the
painless edification of the bud-ding
music-lover as well as for the
modest amusement of the already
initiated.
"Arrive early. In Italy, this
means about fifteen minutes after
the advertised time. The musi-cians
will just then be sauntering
on to the concert platform. In
Germany, however, every hall
apparently has a direct line to the
Greenwich Observatory and a
little man, his eye glued to the
second hand of his clock, who
gives the countdown to the con-ductor.
Most everywhere else,
concerts start a couple, perhaps
five, minutes late. But never
mind that—be early. The astute
concertgoer will be seated at least
a quarter of an hour before the
music begins.
"Why? First, listening to music
enjoyably takes full concentra-tion,
and that needs a few preli-minary
minutes of unwinding.
The poor soul who dashes in
breathlessly as the conductor lifts
his baton is sure to spend the first
piece panting and sweating and
thinking about traffic and parking
places instead of Haydn. Second-ly,
the earlycomer has time to
look inside the program, find out
what's to be played and read the
notes.
"Program notes and when not
to read them. What's in a note?
Something about the composer's
life and the circumstances sur-rounding
the piece to be played.
And then some description, some
'landmarks' to guide the unfamil-iar
ear: what it is that makes this
work unique and worthy of our
attention.
"Since it's hard to read and
listen simultaneously and the
racket of turning pages is a curse,
the only time not to read the notes
is during the music. With one
important exception, that is.
When the piece has words and
they (both the original and trans-lation)
are printed in the program
book or magazine as they should
be, our eyes may be, indeed
ought to be, buried in the book.
"Silence, please! 'Painters
paint on canvas,' conductor Leo-pold
Stokowski once admonished
a disorderly audience. 'We paint
our tone picture on silence. Only
you can supply that.'
"Some years back Time print-ed
this description....
When the house lights go
down on a concert today, it is
often the audience that
strikes up the overture. It is a
kind of barnyard symphon-ette.
The Hummer and the
Time Beater serve as the
rhythm section; the Cello-phane
Crinkler and the Pro-gram
Rattler handle the so-los.
In the percussion section,
the principal performers are
the Bracelet Jangler and the
Premature Clapper, while spe-cial
effects are contributed by
the Knuckle Cracker and the
Watch Winder.
The Coughers' Chorale is
directed by the Dry-throated
Red-nosed Hacker, whose fee-blest
lead always gets a re-sounding
antiphonal response.
The entire performance is
choreograhed by Fidgeter,
produced and up-staged by
that notorious team of Late-comer
and Earlyleaver.
"Sometimes drastic measures
are unavoidable. In the midst of
conducting the 'Fidelio' over-ture
in London, conductor Sir
Thomas Beecham was once im-pelled
to shout 'Stop talking!' at
the audience.
"A clap in time... The musician
has not yet been born who
disdains applause after playing.
But the operative word here is
after. Symphonies and concertos,
suites and song cycles all consist
of distinct but musically interde-pendent
parts or movements.
We forbear from expressing
our appreciation to the music-makers
until the finish line of the
last movement has been crossed
just as we would withhold our
congratulations from a tightrope-walker
until he has reached the
other side of Niagara Fall. Who
knows what dire consequences
might result from disturbing his
or their concentration?
"In the 'Fidelio' performance
referred to already, Beecham was
driven to silencing some prema-ture
applause with a frenzied
'Shut up, you!' Reminiscing sev-eral
years later, he mused that
after that evening his audiences
didn't applaud anything for
months. One night he mounted
the podium and said, 'Ladies and
gentlemen, let us pray."'
Feel free to clip out Mr. Evi-don's
advice and bring it for
reference to the next music
chapel. But don't rattle it during
the performance, please.
Instruments
tune up
by Will Healy
Not since my brother Paul and I
were holding down the latter
chairs in the Murray High School
B-band's trombone section has
the area's classical music interest
been so high. While some may
have difficulty equating that re-nowned
ensemble with classical
music, such is not the case with
the Bethel Band and Orchestra.
This year's band is once again
under the direction of Dr. Julius
Whitinger, who is in his twentieth
year at- Bethel. Band members
are presently working on the pro-gram
for their upcoming interim
tour of the West Coast. The tour
has resulted in a change from the
usual format with the pops con-cert
in the fall. This year's pops
concert is scheduled for sometime
in April.
The tour program features a
variety which runs from "Star
Wars" to the "William Tell
Overture." Such weighty selec-tions
as "Jericho" and "Pictures
at an Exhibition" are offset by a
special section which includes a
medley of great marches. When
all of this is coupled with such
sacred numbers as "Psalm 46"
and "Sacred Suite, - one can see
that this year's program promises
to be most piquant.
The Bethel Orchestra, under
the direction of Mr. Wayne
Fritchie, is also in full swing. The
orchestra features an expanded
string section which includes
approximately 35 strings. Their
program contains symphonies by
Schubert and Beethoven, as well
as a composition by Mr. Fritchie.
Not only will they be making
their usual performance at the
Festival of Christmas, but some
members will be traveling with
the college choir during its tour of
southeastern United States in
March.
The orchestra can be seen in
their fall concert tonight at 8 p.m.
in the gymnasium. A reception
follows the concert in the A.C.
lounge. The band will also be
appearing in their only on campus
concert until spring. The concert
will be held Nov. 11 at 8 p.m. in
the gymnasium as well.

Never heard of—except in Robert

Through the gift of recording
equipment, Featherstone has de-veloped
a two-way communica-tions
service—an encouraging
word of Biblical truth to telephone
dialers and a vehicle for his
students to develop their facility
of saying something cognent in a
limited time span.
While pastoring churches in
Rochester, Minneapolis and New
York City, Featherstone develop-ed
telephone tape ministries
which he describes as "the least
expensive use of media available
to the Christian church today."
Research in the Twin Cities area
shows that 200-300 calls daily
have been received by churches
using this method of communi-cation.
The title of Bethel's ministry-
Dial-A-Word—has special infer-ence.
"Our telephone messages,
which will be changed daily,"
says Featherstone, "must reflect
some Biblical truth and be corn-municated
in the words of today
so that even a child can under-stand
its meaning."

Dr. William Johnson, chairman of the political science department, advises pre-law
students in their future vocations Johnsonprescribes broad liberal arts
education for Bethelp re-law students
in this direction. Peter Taylor,
student body president last year,
now attending law school at the
University of Wisconsin, says that
he is now using in a class in
criminal technique, some abilities
he picked up in argumentation
and debate.
Several years ago leaders of the
Bench and Bar were asked which
pre-law subjects were the most
valuable and they came up with
this list, in order of preference:
English language and literature,
government, economics, Ameri-can
history, mathematics, Eng-lish
history, Latin, logic and
scientific method, and philoso-phy.
Accounting and public
speaking were also recommend-ed.
Johnson said that the job
market is open for students from
a respectable and reputable
school. He added that Bethel
graduates have had good oppor-tunities.
There are also many
opportunities for both women and
minorities.

not know where he is going,

"We know that we have passed
out of death into life, because we
love the brethren. He who does
not love abides in death." (I Jn.
3:14)
How loving is it that we hold
vengeful attitudes towards our
brothers? And how truthful is it if
we say one thing and then do
another? And how godly is it if we
turn away from a brother in need
of the kind of love that we are told
to spread? Are we Christians or
do we just pretend?
Doc's cups are still scattered
from campus to car to corner to
campus. The coffee shop remains
looking like a pig sty. The library
is missing a slug of books that
either need to be replaced or for-gotten—
a substantial loss of mon-ey
in either case. And the
community continues to erode.
"There is no fear in love, but
perfect love casts out fear. For
fear has to do with punishment,
and he who fears is not perfected
in love. We love, because he first
loved us.
"If anyone says, 'I love God,'
and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not love his
brother whom he has seen,
cannot love God whom he has not
seen. And this commandment we
have from him, that he who loves
God should love his brother
also." (I Jn. 4:18-21)
Can we dare to reach out, even
to those with whom we disagree
in so many ways? John said we
could. Paul said we could. And
Christ said to do it.
Bethel can still be people. But
only the people can keep it that
way. And only through exercising
the love of God will we ever have
the power to do so.

"Men are men before they are
lawyers, or physicians, or mer-chants,
or manufacturers; and if
you make them capable and
sensible men, they will make
themselves capable and sensible
lawyers and physicians."
This advice of John Stuart Mill
is akin to that of Dr. Bill Johnson,
Bethel's pre-law adviser. "Speci-fic
concentrations and cognates
don't matter much," said John-son.
"Students have made it at
law school with every conceivable
degree."
Johnson prescribes a broad
liberal arts education for students
thinking of law school. Most law
schools tell pre-law students to
"learn liberal arts and we'll teach
you the law."
Bethel doesn't have a pre-law
program per se, but has an
adviser and pre-law committee to
aid those in preparation. There
are some activities planned for
the pre-law students by the com-mittee.
In the spring they have a
dinner with different speakers
from the law profession and law
schools. Bethel's pre-law commit-tee
gives students a chance to
explore careers in law.
Johnson suggests that students
take courses requiring much
reading, writing, and analytic
thinking. The American Bar As-sociation's
pre-law handbook
states, " .. . working with words
is the key to the lawyer and to the
extent that studying language
creates a precise appreciation and
understanding of the structure of
thought through words, there
could be few more valuable
subjects for study."
Skill in communication both
written and spoken are essential
for pre-law students. Debate is a
valuable activity for those headed continued on page 7

Volleyballers look
for consistency
by Debbie Valder
Women's volleyball action saw
ups and downs last week in
Wednesday's match against Car-leton
and a tournament at Macal-ester
Saturday where Bethel plac-ed
third out of six.
In Wednesday's match at Carl-eton
Bethel girls went under
8-15, 1-15, 15-9, 8-15. Coach
Karyl Frye commented, "It was a
night when Carleton was playing
extremely well while Bethel had
an average to off night. That
gives us trouble."
JV also succumbed to Carle-ton's
prowess, though they had a
close second match. After losing
4-15 the first match, JV'ers got
going and kept Carleton fighting
for victory winning by a narrow
margin, 19-17.
Saturday's tournament started
off with Bethel again playing
Carleton. Though Bethel had the
lead at some point in all three
matches, they lost 7-15, 16-14,
10-15.
Frye said, "It was a match we
should have won. Our teams are
very closely matched. Each has
its advantage. We have more
height while Carelton has a
quicker attack."
After the let down against
Carleton, Bethel got a slow start
warming up against Macalester.
Losing the first match 2-15,
Bethel came back and won the
last two matches 15-12, 15-3.
Bethel's next action was a
frustrating experience against
Concordia Moorhead. In this
match Bethel lost over half their
points in disagreements with
officials on the legality of serve

Pre-law agenda
continued from page 6
Students headed for law school
must take the law school admis-sions
test (LSAT). The two main
factors in acceptance are grade
point average and LSAT score.
The LSAT is taken at the end
the junior year or beginning of the
senior year.
Mark Carlson, a senior, pre-law,
political science major, advi-ses
students thinking of pre-law
to start thinking about which law
school they would like to attend
before their senior year. He also
said that the LSAT should be well
prepared for and not taken light-ly.
Law schools look at extra-cur-ricular
activities too, said John-son.
Some beneficial activities are
student body offices and editor-ships.
These will weigh on an
application, although not as
heavily as your GPA and LSAT.
Three to seven students go to
law school from Bethel every
year. There are now roughly two
dozen who are pre-law right now.
Bethel graduates attend such
schools as Northwestern, Drake,

Cross-country
runners better
season times
by Becky Dye
Individual times improved as
Bethel's men's cross-country team
took third place behind strong
Macalester and Southwest State
teams last Saturday at Como
Park.
In Bethel's last home meet of
the season Curt Brown, Brent
Friesen and Jim Feleen each
bettered their times. Sophomore
Feleen took almost a minute off of
his last meet with a 27:59.
Freshman Friesen placed ninth
with a time of 27:19, 21 seconds
less than last week. Curt Brown,
senior, finished seventh, with
27:04, eight seconds under his
previous meet's time.
Coach Gene Glader, comparing
the meet with last week's, re-marked,
"Times were better and
competition was tougher. We
wanted to beat Gustavus and we
were able to—that was good. The
improvements by Curt Brown and
Jim Feleen were encouraging."
Feleen said, "I took a minute
off my best time, which was a
definite improvement. The wea-ther
conditions were perfect and
that helped."
Team captain Brown indicated,
"It was a good meet for us. We
did as good as we could have
done. We wanted to beat Gusta-vus
and did."
The final team scores were
Macalester with 37, Southwest
State with 39, Bethel with 72 and
Gustavus with 88.
The Minnesota Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference meet will be
held tommorrow at 11 a.m. at
Como Park golf course. Bethel
will compete for the first time this
year.
Coach Glader predicted, "It'll
be an extremely tough meet. St.
Johns, St. Olaf, St. Thomas and
Hamline, are the top four teams
and could conceivably be nation-ally
ranked."

Townhouse 3 upsets Gold
for IM football title
by Paul Johnson
Townhouse 3 upset Edgren
Gold 14-6, to become the first
freshman team in recent years to
win the Bethel intramural foot-ball
title.
Edgren Gold came into Satur-day's
championship contest as
the favorite, after beating Foun-tain
Terrace A in the semifinal
round. Townhouse 3 surprised
everyone by just getting to the
championship game.
Townhouse 3 achieved the first
break of the day early in the
first half. Paul Johnson came up
with an interception and the
offense took the ball just over the
halfway mark of the field. That
play set up the game's first
touchdown.
Quarterback Brian Doten found
Randy Oshima in the left side of
the end zone. Oshima dove for the
ball and made a fine catch to
make the score 6-0. The extra
point failed. The rest of the first
half remained scoreless.
Townhouse 3 surprised Edgren
at the start of the second half,
when the freshmen decided to
kick instead of receive. The
strategy was to have the slant of
the field in their favor, and it paid
off. Early in the second half
Harris leads
women harriers
by Greg Kuntz
The Bethel women's cross-country
team entered three run-ners
in the multi-team meet at
Carleton College last Friday after-noon.
The meet consisted of
about 80 runners representing 12
schools.
Bethel was one of two schools
with incomplete teams. Rita
Glasscock and Gail Anderson
were out due to injuries.
Freshman standout Brenda
Harris had a strong race and
finished the three-mile course in
20:07, setting a Bethel record for
the second time this month. She
ran three miles in 20:22 at the
Macalester Invitational on Oct. 1.
Senior Bobbi Hersch turned in
her second best time of the
season of 21:00 flat.
St. Olaf's premier harrier Eli-zabeth
Hartwick crossed the fin-ish
line first in 17:36. St. Olaf
finished first with 53 points,
followed by St. Cloud with 84.
The host team, Carleton, came in
a close third with 85.
Brenda was quite happy with
her performance. "It was beauti-ful
running on this course," she
said.
"We expect to have the full
team for the meet this week.
Mankato has a flat course so there
should be better times for every-one,"
said Coach Shirley Daw-son.
"We'll be in full strength for
the regional meet."
The harriers compete tomorrow
in another multi-team meet at
Mankato State at 1 p.m.
Doten threw a perfect strike to
Oshima in the right side of the
end zone to put Townhouse up
12-0.
However, Edgren was not dead
yet. A long pass reception by Tim
Bont, set up a one-yard touch-down
pass. With less than seven
minutes to play the score was
Townhouse 12 and Edgren 6.
It was then that the Townhouse
defense sealed the game. Dave
Broza got to the quarterback for a
safety and that made the score
14-6. The offense then killed the
clock to give the title to Town-house
3.
The Townhouse 3 team has
now won back to back titles. The
freshmen won the volleyball title
two weeks ago.

The Bethel gridders again prov-ed
what kind of team they are by
coming from behind in the fourth
quarter to defeat the Eagles of
Westmar 32-29 in a night game at
LeMars, la. last Saturday.
The game was won for the
Royals when sophomore quarter-back
Lonnie Holmgren, who pass-ed
for 132 yards in the final
quarter, lofted a 45-yard pass to
tight end Frank Knoll in the end
zone as time ran out.
The game was overflowing with
excitement and suspense as the
Royals never quit and nibbled
away at a 29-13 Westmar lead.
Sophomore running back Tom
Klitzke led a balanced rushing
attack with 53 yards in 17 carries,
Mark Rapinchuk had 48 yards in
10 carries, Greg Sutton carried 11
times for 46 yards, and Tim
Schwalm had 32 yards in 9
carries.
Holmgren, who played for
three quarters, completed a phe-nominal
10 of 14 passes for 228
yards, bolstering a Royal 503
yards of total offense, Bethel's
second highest yardage total in a
game this season.
Two of Holmgren's passes
went for touchdowns: a 52 yarder
to flanker John Selvog in the third
quarter, and the game winning
T.D. to Knoll. Selvog caught six
passes in the game for 158 yards.
The Royals' big "D" was led
by Mike "Spike" Anderson with
21 assists. Mike Kingbird had 15
assists and defensive back Randy
Fredin had four tackles in the
secondary plus five assists.
The Bethel rush attack was
riddled by twelve fumbles, losing
six of them to a fired-up and
intense Eagle defense.
The Eagles moved the ball well
on their first drive, but were
stopped when linebacker Gary
Leafblad rejected a 32-yard field
goal attempt by Westmar's Ran-dy
Christiano.
Westmar's speedy flanker Aa-ron
Brown scored two touch-downs
in the first quarter. His
first came on a 13-yard outside
veer. Just after the Royals took
the lead on a Rapinchuk touch-down,
Brown returned the Bethel
kickoff 96 yards in just 15 seconds
to put the Eagles back on top.
The Royals threatened to take
the lead back again in the second
quarter when Selvog leaped high
to grab a 40-yard pass from Mark
Rapinchuk on a half back option.
However, the Royals lost the ball
by fumble and linebacker Mark
Zylstra returned it down the side-line,
but Jon Kramka hit Zylstra
to save the T.D.
The Royals tightened the West-mar
lead to 20-13 in the third
quarter on Selvog's T.D., but the
Eagles continued their outside
veer, coupled with Bethel fum-bles
to build up a 29-13 edge.
The determined Bethel squad
never gave up and turned the
game around in final quarter.
Holmgren kept and scored on a
quarterback sneak and Tim
Schwalm scored on a short carry a
few minutes later.
The Royal defense tightened up
on the Westmar attack, shutting
them out in the final quarter.
Holmgren put together a series
of four consecutive pass comple-tions
to Knoll, Selvog and Paul
Roberts. After a penalty, he
threw the game-winning bomb to

"I never wanted the ball more
in my life!" said 6'4" Knoll.
"The Lord did it for us!"
(Knoll caught the only touch-down
pass Bethel needed to beat
Hamline a couple weeks ago.)
Eagle's head coach, Dan Tho-mas,
said, "This shows the kind
of character Bethel has. It was a
good game and I'm proud of our
team's effort. This is tough to
lose, but 50 million people in
China don't even know about it so
it won't matter."
"The fumbles were frustrating
and it was hard to keep fired up,"
by Steve Erickson
Bethel does have hockey club,
even- though it is well-hidden. The
elusive club managed to win all
five of its games last year, despite
having no money, practices, uni-forms
or coach.
Not being a part of the athletic
program, the club had to raise its
own funds for everything includ-ing
ice rental. Depending on the
time and place, one hour of ice
time can cost from $25-$45. Each
player chipped in enough money
to help pay ice rental for games.
Bethel and the opposing team
would share the cost. Bethel
would pay for the ice time of one
game and the other team would
provide the money for the next
game between the two clubs.
Since ice was rented at the last
moment, games were held at
unusual times. Most started at
about 10 p.m. A surprising num-ber
of fans turned out to watch,
despite the late starting times.
The games were played mainly at
the Roseville Arena and the
Coliseum.
"We all tried to be the same
said Coach "Chub" Reynolds.
"Westmar wanted it and we
didn't shut off their outside veer.
"We settled down and things
happened we couldn't believe,"
said Coach Dave Klostreich.
Coach Reynolds added, "We
kept our composure. We got
closer and more determined and
found a way to win."
The Royals are now 5-1 on the
season and will face St. Olaf
tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., ending
their road trip for the season,
before facing Concordia (St. Paul)
in the season finale at home next
Saturday.
color," said John Selvog, team
captain, referring to the club's
lack of uniforms. Each player
provided his own equipment.
Last season, the team was
without a coach. This year's club
is being organized by Thomas
Correll, professor of anthropo-logy.
He will soon be planning
games for this winter. His son,
Tom, and Selvog, should be two
of the top players this year.
"We'd like to play one of the
lower-place MIAC teams to see
how well we'd do," said forward
Dave Noland. Selvog stated that
the club would like to play at least
some MIAC junior varsity
squads. The schools Bethel com-peted
against last year were
Northwestern, Normandale and
Golden Valley.
"Over the next two or three
years, we want to work our way
into the MIAC," explained Sel-vog.
He said the club has fairly
good talent this season and it
wants to build a better team each
year. Who knows, perhaps in
three years, hockey will be a
legitimate part of the athletic
department.
