              Royals destroy Sioux Falls
in 24-0 Homecoming victory

by G.W. Smith
It was a cold day in Arden Hills
for Sioux Falls College as the Be-thel
Royals defeated the visitors
24-0 before an overflow home-coming
crowd.
Coach "Chub" Reynolds' "tre-mendous
defense" repeatedly
smothered the Sioux Falls offense
and forced them to punt on 11 of
their 14 possessions.
In the second quarter, Sioux
Falls tried to convert a fourth and
four from the Bethel 17-yard line.
The Royals' defense shackled the
Sioux Falls receivers and forced
an incomplete pass.
Later that same quarter senior
co-captain Mike Anderson inter-cepted
a Sioux Falls pass and
returned the ball 65 yards.
In the fourth quarter Sioux
Falls attempted a desperation
offense and launched four mis-guided
passes.
While a strong Bethel defense
earmarked the game, the Bethel
offense lay not silent.
Led by sophomore Tom Klitzke
and senior co-captain Mark Ra-pinchuk,
the Royals covered 38
yards in nine plays to set up a
23-yard Lindbert field goal.
Lindberg's kick was good and
Bethel led 3-0.
Early in the second quarter Ra-pinchuk
added Bethel's second
score on a 24-yard run around left
end. The run by Rapinchuk com-pleted
an 83-yard drive for the
Royals.
Lindberg kicked the point after
and extended Bethel's lead to
10-0.
The Royals scored twice in the
fourth quarter. Quarterback Lon-nie
Holmgren opened the quarter
with a 27-yard pass to tight-end

Security measures sought
at theft-torn old campus
Antique collectors may admire many such valuable brass
door knobs on old campus buildings.
by Suzi Wells
A car was stolen the weekend
of Sept. 16-17 as well as a motor-cycle
and mag wheels from old
campus parking lot. Sunday night,
Sept. 18, the Edgren RA's took
turns patrolling the grounds
through the night in order to
attempt to alleviate the thievery
problem there.
The administration is concern-ed
about these thefts and the
students' welfare on old campus.
As a partial solution to the
problem the maintenance depart-ment
installed a new light on
Bodien last week to light up the
parking lot. Also, police have
been asked to patrol the area
regularly. However, some resi-dents
feel a need for a security
guard on campus.
Cost is a major factor in hiring a
security guard, and inevitably,
according to Dean Mack Nettle-ton,
the money would come out of
the student's pocket. If a guard
were hired for seven nights a
week, a least eight hours a night,
the cost would average out to
about $50-$100 a year for a
student's room, Nettleton said.
A possible alternative to the
high cost of a full-time night
watchman would be a work-study
program, suggested by Edgren
houseparent Jim Walcott. In this
program, students would be se-curity
guards on weekends during
the fall and spring, when most of
the problems would occur.
A student security guard would

The "typical" Bethel student
may, upon occasion, have noted
that, while returning to his car
after long hours of belaboured
study in our LRC, the paths down
which he trods to his car are
relatively unlit.
Rising concern in this area has
prompted reactivation of several
alternatives to this problem.
The chief difficulty appears to
be the route to the circle parking

around the art department.

problems. Also, just having a

Temporary plans are, however,
underway to alleviate the situa-tion.
A recommendation is cur-rently
being prepared for pre-sentation
to the SITE Develop-ment
Committee, who in turn
must determine whether the vali-dity
of the proposal is feasible and
in keeping with the aesthetic and
economic standards of our institu-tion.
The proposal will recommend
the installation of one or two
additional lights upon the road-way
as well as the increase of
wattage upon the present candle-lights.
Once approval has been obtain-ed
from the SITE Development
Committee, funding must then be
obtained.

Letters to the Editor
Rip-off disclosed
by Trautmann,
property stolen
Dear editor,
I would like to make an added
statement concerning the article
on "Christian" thievery in the
Sept. 30th Clarion. On Saturday,
Oct. 1, the women had a volley-ball
game against Concordia here
at Bethel. Immediately following
the game, I ventured to the
cafeteria for some lunch.
With me, I carried my back-pack,
a rust-colored Wilderness
Experience with black non-pad-ded
straps. Inside my pack were
my tennis shoes (Nikes), socks,
but more important were my
billfold and keys f6r everything on
a Holly Hobby key ring.
I placed my pack in one of the
top compartments in the hallway.
15-20 minutes later, I realized
that I no longer could leave
valuables anywhere! The back-pack
was given to me as a gift and
many of the things in it are going
to be costly to replace.
I would like to point out that not
just an article of merchandise was
stolen, but a possession of a
person. A person who, like many,
does not have the money to spend
on replacing all her things.
I'd just like to add that it has
already cost $18 to get a new
pack, and I don't have $30 to
spend on another pair of shoes.
So, the backpack and a few
dollars that were in my billfold
may be kept, but I would really
appreciate getting my other be-longings
back. Just drop things
off with Julie in the lost and found
or better yet, leave the things in
my PO 1629. Thank you.
Karen Trautmann
Homecoming-is
spirit holy?
Dear editor,
The decision to write this letter
has been long and hard in the
making. I have spent many hours
in dark recesses of AC220, pain-fully
agonizing over the merit of
comment on that ugly social
disease that is creeping in on us
like an unknown cancer.
In the end, it seems that taking
typewriter in hand and proclaim-ing
the message of my deep con-cern
is a much more constructive
alternative than rending my gar-ments
and sitting on the steps of
our noble institution making la-mentations
in sackcloth and ash-es
What is this ugly, creeping
social disease that threatens to
engulf us? It is the overly light-hearted,
non-caring, non-compas-sionate
phenomena of complacen-cy
presently manifesting itself in
the form of the homecoming syn-drome.
In my mind, it is another way
that the enemy is distracting the
Body of our Lord from the real
issues and tasks at hand, turning
our eyes and hearts from the
glory of His light to the darkness
of some artificial, Babylonian
self-satisfaction.
We have been bombarded re-cently
with suggestions for show-ing
our support of this communi-ty.
Show some spirit! Come one,
come all to the fantastic extra-vaganza
of Bethel's homecoming!
Let us see if you can show us that
you really belong here! Be one of
the crowd! Ra! Ra!
These energetic lures are fol-lowed
with some specific requests

editorial
Old campus
security analyzed
Security problems have been rather nonexistent on the Bethel
campus since the construction of the security shack and the all-night
supervision of campus buildings and grounds by security guards. But it
seems with all of this security on new campus, one area of Bethel
property has been left unnoticed—until now. That piece of Bethel
property is called old campus, where approximately 400 students make
their homes during the school year.
The obvious security problems have come to a peak in the past two
months, namely a number of thefts and a reported rape on or near old
campus. Such problems have given the Clarion reasonable cause to
include articles about security on old campus and on sexual assault or
rape. We feel students should be aware of these problems and should
be alerted as to possible methods to alleviate the obvious dilemmas.
Therefore we wish to stress to the administration the need for
security on old campus. The reasons we feel there is a need for some
type of security, preferably an all-night security guard, is threefold.
The first is the previous and potential thefts of personal properties on
old campus.
It is reported in this issue of the Clarion that one car, two motor-cycles
and one set of mag wheels have been stolen from old campus
residents since the beginning of the fall semester. This obvious
dilemma leads us to believe that it will not end with time. Theft may
stall during the winter months, but it is sure to pick up once again in
the spring.
A second reason for the need of security on old campus is the
potential for sexual assault, rape and break-ins. We believe this point
is of greater importance than the first, for human life is of greater value
to each of us than are material possessions. Therefore this reason for
security seems to be the most significant need on old campus. After all,
it was a sexual assault case that brought on the year-round security
guards on new campus.
A third reason we feel there is a need for security on old campus is
the ease it will create on the students' minds who live there. Too many
students spend needless time worrying about what will happen to their
cars or their personal beings if they live on old campus. Hopefully this
easing of tensions would not create a nonchalant attitude among old
campus residents.
The question is then raised as to the cost of all this security. How
much will it cost? Is it really worth it? We believe it is. In the article
dealing with old campus security, Dr. Mack Nettleton, director of
student affairs, believed that it would cost somewhere between
$50-$100 per student living on old campus for a full-time, year-round
security guard working at least eight hours every night, seven days a
week. We feel this figure is misleading.
We believe the plan suggested by Jim Walcott, director of security
and parking and houseparent of Edgren dormitory, is very feasible. As
we understand it, this plan would entail hiring students as security
guards on work-study programs, employing guards only during peak
crime seasons (not during cold, winter months), and not employing
guards during the summer months when students are not present on
old campus. This would greatly reduce the costs suggested by Nettle-ton
and would entail hiring a security guard only when the need exists.
The point has also been suggested that if students were more
cautious, they would not have to hire a full-time security guard. We
believe that although this could be true for personal safety against
sexual crimes and break-ins, it still would not help the theft problems
related to material possessions sitting in the parking lot. Besides,
should students have to sit on their dorm rooms in fear for their lives,
or should they be able to stroll around old campus during the evening
hours at their own freedom?
To sum up what has been said so far, we believe a security guard is
needed for Bethel during peak crim seasons when students are
present. This would help alleviate many of the present security
problems existing on old campus. Although a security guard would
relieve much of the problems now existing, he still would not be able to
guard against nonchalant, unaware old campus residents. Students
must still maintain some manner of awareness in order to prevent
problems from occurring in any degree of frequency.
In the end the question comes down to, "Is security on old campus
really as big a problem as it is made out to be?" We believe it is, and
therefore urge the administration to consider the proposals put for-ward.
After all, the administration thought it was worth the trouble on
new campus. What makes old campus any different?
Student Senate asks independent
study tuition decrease
The Student Senate has asked the administration for a decrease in
the tuition charged for independent studies. Citing that such studies
invoked a minimum of supervision and little use of campus facilities,
they have asked the dean to investigate the possibilities for a tuition re-duction.

minds.
Glen Hayne, superintendent of
buildings and grounds, said that
security depends on how well
people keep secure themselves. If
students lived in an apartment
complex, he pointed out, they
would have to take their own
precautions. He is concerned
about the security problem,
though, and is willing to discuss
possible solutions with anyone.
Hayne also said that new
campus had no security until an
incident occurred a few years ago.
New campus, however, is easier
to patrol in the respect that one
entrance can be closed and people
entering the campus from the
other entrance can be stopped.
Old campus has no entrance that
can be blocked, but does not
cover a large area as new campus
does.
Hagstrom RA Sherry Schut
Bethel student Kurt Hettinga [far right] recently joined The Sixth Day, who performed ,agreed with Hayne concerning
precautions. "Kids need to use
common sense," she said. She
added that potential thieves will
take advantage of an opportunity
to steal something if they are
tempted.
Even when thieves do steal
possessions, the property can be
replaced or insured, as Nettleton
pointed out. "We're more inter-ested
in protecting people than
things," he said. "It's not as if
we're starting a new residence
and have to take preventative
measures."
Hagstrom head residents Mar-la
Jacobson and Julie Blomquist
feel safe at old campus. "We
stayed alone here all summer,"
Julie said, and Marla added,
"We loved it." "It's our own res-ponsibility
to use common
sense," Julie continued.
Others are concerned about
preventing a major problem, be-lieving
that there is a need for
security, in spite of the fact that it
will cost something. Shirley Mul-len,
supervisor of old campus, put
it this way, "It's like buying
insurance. It's a little bit of a
gamble. We have to be patient for
something to get done, but I don't
think we should forget about it."
Mullen believes that there is a
need for a security guard, but she
also realizes the cost factor, and
the fact that Bethel cannot be res-ponsible
for everyone's posses-sions.
"We are relatively safe here,"
she admitted, "but we don't want
to take any chances. People that
live here need to be more careful,
and not do anything to tempt
anyone."

reminiscent of the high school
mentality, calling us to be one of
the gang and let everybody know
we care about Bethel by wearing
the clothing of our parent's youth,
or the black-tie attire of a presi-dential
ball.
My question, simply stated, is
"What is the appropriate method
for us to show our support of this
community?" "What form of
action can we, as individual mem-bers,
take that would benefit the
entire Bethel body?"
Too long we have been looking
inward. Too long we have been
giving our blessing to the evan-gelical
status quo-which tells us
that as long as we are busy ga-thering
those jewels for our
crown, marking our heavenly
scepters with notches represent-ing
those "saved" souls, we are
free to live and operate as we will,
so long as we are careful not to
violate any of the Holy Ordinan-ces.
The time is upon us when our
Lord will hold us accountable for
our care-free attitudes. The day of
reckoning comes.
I am not a prophet of doom. I
would not leave this issue lay
without suggesting some alterna-tives
to the present course of
action. Perhaps, rather than ask-ing
us to "show our colors" by
such events as "formal day," a
clothing drive could be organized
for donation to one of the service
societies in our area.
Perhaps, rather than "over-all
or grub day," students could be
encouraged not only to put the
work clothes on, but use them in a
task for which they were design-ed.
Another service day as part of
our homecoming activities seems
most appropriate as a means of
proclaiming what Bethel really
stands for.
Perhaps, instead of exhorting
us to show "spirit" by participa-tion
in the various social activities
of homecoming week, we could
also be exhorted to show some
Spirit in the form of humble and
loving outreach to the community
outside of our own, one that is
rarely touched by the real pur-pose
and powerful message which
we have.
The complacent attitude so
visualized by homecoming is one
seen in many facets of Bethel
life...in the dorms, in the form of
disrespect toward our fellow corn-munity
members...and in our re-lationship
with the outside, in our
willingness to remain closed and
withdrawn from the real world.
May our Lord Jesus grant us
the burning desire and empower-ing
to move on toward maturity in
our walk of faith together. I am
praying that we really become the
dedicated, discipled Christians
we claim to be.

a child, I felt as a child, I thought

man, I have put away childish

Last year contribution support
to Bethel College and Seminary
ranked in the top 15 per cent
nationally for private schools.
Among Christian colleges, Bethel
was second to the runaway lead-er,
Wheaton. Among state col-leges,
Bethel was third behind
Carleton and Macalester.
In 1976 Bethel issued receipts
for over $1.7 million in donations.
$600,000 came from conference
churches. Besides the contribu-tions,
Bethel received $400,000
through their foundation.
The foundation is a separate
corporation set up to handle
deferred gifts and some other
types of donations such as real
estate. Deferred gifts are usually
property or money that is willed
to Bethel. Bethel deferred gift
program was selected as a model
for colleges by the Northwest
Area Foundation.
Bethel's budget approached $8
million last year. Of that, nearly
one-fourth was donations. The
rest of the funds, over $6 million,
was generated by student fees.
Harvey DeVries, vice president
of public affairs, explained that
his office handles anything in-volving
public relations or fund-raising.
Public relations entails
relating the institution to the
public.
In this case, the public includes
alumni, friends, parents and the
community. Fund-raising involv-es
relating the public and its
resources to the mission of the
institution.
Many methods are used to
associate the public with Bethel.
One way is through a magazine
such as the Bethel "Focus."
Another method is to mall letters,
explaining what is going on at the
college. Then four times a year

Wednesday—Pastor Spick-elmier—"

Friday—Dr. Carl Lundquist
the school asks for money.
DeVries said that he has three
jobs in fund-raising: to get new
donors, to renew past donors, and
to upgrade their past donations.
His office looks for special people
to be large contributors. This is
called prospect development.
They include people that do have
some money and are highly
motivated to give.
"People out there don't owe us
anything. The only reason they
give money is because they
believe in Bethel," explained
DeVries. He continued by saying
that for some, especially older
people, this gift-giving was a
witness, a way showing that
Christ was in their lives.
At most colleges, it is usual for
20 per cent of the people to
provide 80 per cent of the money.
Here at Bethel one-third of the
donors give two-thirds of the
contributions. This means there
Bethel draws $2 million,
among leaders in gifts
are more smaller givers. There-fore
Bethel has a broader base of
support than most private
schools.
"We need to place emphasis on
strengthening support from the
community," stated DeVries. He
went on to say that a main part of
the community is corporate bus-inesses
and industry.
At the moment, Bethel is
looking into the feasibility of a
five-year plan. This plan involves
projections for enlarged contri-bution
support. Bethel would like
to accelerate their contribution
growth rate up to about double
what it is now. This would mean
$12.5-20 million in the next five
years from donations.
If this happens, then Bethel
would be one step closer to where
Wheaton is. This is difficult to do,
especially when Bethel has a
shorter tradition and relatively
young alumni.

Sundberg leads
new three-part
women's group
by Thangi Chhangte
A new women's choral group,
Bethel Women's Ensemble, has
been formed on a one-year ex-perimental
basis. Bethel has
enough talented and interested
women to form another choir.
After auditions, 33 women
were selected to join the en-semble.
The group rehearses on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from
4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Instructor Gerard Sundberg
says the new choir will sing only
sacred choral music written for
three voices: first and second
sopranos and altos. For their
public appearances the choir will
use former robes of Women's
Choir.
The ensemble will not be a
touring group, but it will give
concerts and sing in chapel. It will
sing two songs in the Festival of
Christmas, but it is not a part of
the Festival Choir.
Starting next semester, the
ensemble will be a credited
course, just like the other choirs.
The conductor, Sundberg, said
the results were encouraging and
he was very pleased with them.

Students who enjoy studying
off campus will have more oppor-tunities
to do so this interim.
With the addition of four new
interim courses, students have
the chance to study in the Florida
Keys, Chicago, New York or out
West.
The'course "Man In The Sea,"
taught by Bob Weathers, will
hold its field experience down in
the beautiful Florida Keys. "The
content of the course is to study
the impact scuba diving has on
human physiology and perfor-mance,"
said Weathers.
Lecture, discussion and read-ing
will occupy much of the
participants' time their first week
here in the Twin Cities. Also,
those who do not have a basic
scuba certification will learn, then
practice, how to use scuba equip-ment.
The middle two weeks of the
course will be spent in the Florida
Keys doing field experience. Two
dives will be made each day.
"The first dive will be running
experiments on human diving
physiology," said Weathers. This
will include testing heart rates,
rate of air consumption, etc. while
diving in different circumstances.
"The second dive we will study
the natural history of the coral
reef and marine-life," said Wea-thers.
Some of the dives will be
done in the protected Coral Reef
State Park and some outside the
protected area.
This posh Chevy is just one example of student extrava-gance
so tempting to old campus car thieves in an
unguarded lot.
"We will take a look at the
limitation of scuba diving equip-ment
and diving on human phy-siology
and performance," said
Weathers.
The class will then return to
spend the last week studying
more of the textbook and tying
things together.
"Latin Americans in Chicago,"
taught by Lillian Ryberg, offers a
different type of field experience.
Living on the north side of
Chicago with either Mexican,
Cuban or Puerto Rican families
and speaking no English will be a
language learning experience for
any participant.
Students will be expected to
take a language test before going
to Chicago and upon returning
home. Each student will also keep
a journal of experiences and
observations.
Students will be living with
Latin American Christian families
from the five Baptist General
Conference Spanish-speaking
churches in Chicago.
"The whole emphasis of the
language learning experience is
on actual communication," said
Ryberg. Living in a different
culture and speaking no English
will cause the students to learn to
communicate differently.
Along with learning more of the
language, students will observe
the life of a pastor of a migrant
church, and the difficulties and
obstacles he has to overcome.
Attending Bible and theology
classes at the Spanish Bible
by Dan Erickson
We hear a lot about tradition around here. President Lundquist talks
about the Bethel tradition, the old alumni talk about tradition, and
when the flounders get together in the spring they talk about tradition.
The only ones, it seems, that don't get excited about tradition and the
past are the students.
Since the move to new campus five or six years ago, it seems that
Bethel is slipping out of touch with its past. The alumni who graduated
ten years ago didn't really graduate from here: they graduated from a
campus seven miles down the road. In some ways, they seem alienated
from the Bethel of today (the funniest thing I saw all week was an
alumnus asking directions from a freshman). At the other end of things
is the Bethel student who doesn't even know where old campus is.
For my first couple of years here, I didn't care to know anything
about the past. Then I began to hear stories about a student who went
to school here back in the late sixties. The legend of this man's exploits
ushered me into this institution's past.
Professors told stories about him, students with older brothers told
stories about him, and even some maintenance men remember him.
He is a character who has made the past come alive for me, and as
such, he is always my nominee for Alumnus of the Year: Leonard Ray
Sammons.
Leonard wasn't too tall, he was rather overweight, his complexion
wasn't very good, and his glasses were thick, but he left a lasting
impression here. At least a couple professors remember him as having
an intellect that was a sharp as any they'd seen. But that's not how he
was remembered. The plain fact is, Leonard was a nut.
He ran for office seven times, was elected twice to Senate and lost
the rest of the time. He complained that he lost his campaigns for chap-lain
of Edgren because, in his words, "I guess I'm just not spiritually
'in' around here."
He founded the McCarthy Club back in '68 (you can see the picture
of all three sleeping members with their faculty advisor on the same
page as the Ham Radio Club in the 1969 Spire) and was a militant
pacifist. Some of his almost weekly letters to the Clarion are classic
exercises in the rhetoric of indignation.
He feuded with the college over the dress code, the lack of power the
Senate had, dorm hours for women, and anything involving rules.
Some saw him as a threat to Bethel's very existence, but interestingly
enough, though most of these rules have changed, this college has
survived very nicely.
But the thing Leonard is most often remembered for is his concert.
No one really knows how his difference of opinion with the music
department actually got started. Most point to that chapel service
where the speaker talked about the demonic element in rock and roll
(The speaker almost quit in the middle when the heating pipes in the
old chapel started clanging and he thought some students were making
fun of him. Someone finally had to point out that the pipes always
clanged like that.). Whatever the reason, Leonard decided to hold his
own senior music recital, even though only a lowly political science
major.
Interest in his concert was so high that they had to transfer it to the
gym. Hundreds of people ended up coming, including the dean.
Leonard charged two dollars, and promised to give it all back if they
stayed through the whole thing.
The Clarion, reviewing the concert later, said that L. Ray, as he like
to be called, had two of the three ingredients that every singer needs:
volume and rhythm, but no pitch. Some doubted as to whether he had
the right note even once in the evening. Undaunted, he cut a record
entitled "L. Ray Sings." That Christmas, many confused parents re-ceived
that record as a gift from their loving children.
What Leonard has been doing since graduation is wrapped in
mystery. Did he really go on to United Theological Seminary as he
promised? Is he really driving for a taxicab company? Not much is
known about him other than the fact that, a few years back, he ran for
justice of the peace in the Selby Dale area and (you guessed it) lost.
He comes back to Bethel every January during Founders' Week
wearing a clerical collar and smoking a huge pipe, and is properly
ostracized. Most of us have seen him and remember him as the guy
who comes to the alumni-varsity basketball game every year to scream
out his lungs.
Tradition does not just mean old. It might be old, but it is not just the
layer of dust covering the past. Tradition includes the beliefs, the
lifestyle and the educational ideals that form our heritage. The
recollection of a character like Leonard helps us focus our modern
perspective through the tinted lens of another era and to recognize the
humanity we share with our predecessors. We will always need a
Sammons to keep us honest.

of the students' time.
Students will also discuss such
topics as cross-cultural commu-nication,

work in the New York art scene.
Discussions, studio work and
gallery and museum visits are
part of this course.
"Art of the American West,"
taught by Dale Johnson, will
involve art appreciation and ori-entation
to the whole area of
Western art. This course is
offered to touring band members
only.
Students will observe places
such as: The Mid-American All
Indian Art Center (In Witchita,
Ks.), Frank Lloyd Wright Archi-tecture
(on route to Phoenix),
Pueblo villages with their crafts,
weaving and pottery, L.A. con-temporary
galleries and visit an
artist's studio on the West Coast
area.
Much of the lecture and discus-sion
on the assigned reading
will be done on the bus. A journal
will also be kept by the students
recording their observations of
places visited.

trace of theological roots
by Brad Lewis
Football fans on their way to
the homecoming game last week
may have noticed a new sign
directing their path. The sign
indicates the direction to Bremer
field, the site of most of Bethel
College's outdoor sports.
According to Glen Hayne, su-perintendent
of buildings and
grounds for the college, the
money for the construction of this
facility was donated by the Otto
Bremer foundation, the estate of
a Bethel alumnus. Hayne was un-sure
as to the amount of money
donated but recalled the staff laid
about $2000 worth of sod to com-plete
the field.
Many students have wondered
why the sign at the field is placed
there only at homecoming each
year. Hayne replied that it was
discovered last year after home-coming
that the sign was mis-spelled.
The sign was removed to be
repainted by the art department
and was not replaced until just
prior to homecoming this year be-cause
it was misplaced. The Be-thel
carpenter has replaced the
sign with the correctly spelled one
and it will remain there perma-nently.
Hayne was also asked if there
are any plans at present to
improve or replace the current
outdoor facilities. He remem-bered

campus showing the present field

Why do I believe the way I do?
"Roots," the chapel series start-ing
on Monday, will help answer
this question from an historical
view of Christianity. The series is
designed as a four-year program
which will acquaint the student
with the major ideas and people
that helped shape our contem-porary
faith.
This Monday Wayne Grudem
will be speaking on the subject of
"Christ is God and Man." The
topic on Tuesday, presented by
Pastor Spickelmier, will be "God
is Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
The aim of these chapels will be
to show how these doctrines
maintained themselves through
the years, and how they relate to
us today.

Debate team
competes at
Cedar Falls
by Mary Smith
This past weekend the debate
team competed at the University
of Iowa in Cedar Falls. Coach
Dave Lee sent the teams of Mark
Ludwig-Ellie Garrett and Mike
Emerson-Scott Larson down to
compete. Emerson and Larson
made it to the quarter finals.
This year the topic for debate is
"The Increase of Freedom a-gainst
the Felony Crime." Many
people do not realize the hard
work involved in preparing for a
debate.
There are affirmative and nega-tive
teams. Because of the large-ness
of the subject, the affir-mative
team chooses a subtitle
and thoroughly researches it. The

taken from each of these four
periods of Church history: 1)
Early Church History, 2) Refor-mation,
3) Early American, and 4)
Contemporary Christianity.
The initial idea of the Roots
program was suggested by Dr.
Bob Stein and put together by last
year's chapel committee. One of
the factors in starting the series
was the good reaction that the

Bethel's oldest literary publica-tion,
the Coeval, almost fizzled
out this year until Megan Hast-ings
volunteered as editor earlier
this semester.
The Student Senate voted to
discontinue the Coeval, apparent-ly
due to lack of student interest.
Criticisms of the publication were
that it catered to a select group of
writers and that it was too roman-tically
poetic.
Megan said, "Coeval is a tra-dition
older than the Clarion and I
hated to see it die off into
nothing."
The rules and finance commit-tee
discussed a budget for the
Coeval this week and if the Stu-dent
Senate approves it, Megan
says there will be enough for a
good publication and a small
stipend for herself, Beckly Jacob-son,
the assistant editor, and Lisa

after giving a week of chapels last
year. Students indicated that they
really did want in-depth studies in
their faith.
In the plans for this first four
years of Roots are subjects that
range from St. Francis of Assisi to
Luther to Barth. The next presen-tations
will be in November on
John Calvin, given by Mel Stew-art
and Walter Wessel.

The Coeval prints poetry,
prose, short paragraphs, pen and
ink drawings and some black and
white photos. Megan says, "It is
an opportunity for writers to see
their material in print and to get
feedback on it from the student
body."
She also stressed that there is
no prerequisite for submitting to
the publication. One of the prob-lems
they have had in the past is
too few contributions to choose
from.
Megan would like to build
interest in the Coeval by expand-ing
the variety of material that is
printed. She encourages students
to submit humorous and "light"
material as well as the traditional
heavy things.
Students will find the six page
edition of Coeval in their P.O.'s at
the end of this month.

Precautions against rape
urged for Bethel females
by Paul Olsen
Rape is a four-letter word.
No one talks about it at Bethel.
It has to do with sex, and that
certainly must be against Bethel
lifestyle. Besides, things like that
couldn't happen here. This is the
House of God. Let's leave well
enough alone.
There are people at Bethel who
know better.
"Sex crime invades the person
to the point where you have no
control over who you are or what
you are. You are filled with dirty
and worthless feelings."
This person knows from exper-ience.
She was attacked several
years ago.
There have been other cases of
sexual assault on Bethelites,
some of them very recent. And
the danger is not diminishing.
In 1976, there were 724 report-ed
rapes in Minnesota. And the
FBI estimates that only ten per
cent of all sexual assaults are
reported.
But why be concerned about it
at Bethel?
Because the attitudes of people
here cause increased susceptibili-ty
to sexual assault. At Bethel
there is a lack of knowledge of the
facts of sexual assault, and an
overly trusting attitude. These
are two dangerous states of mind
where sexual assault is con-cerned.
There are many myths sur-rounding
sexual assault which
need to be exposed.
Myth: Rape is provoked by the
victim. Since Bethel girls dress
and act in a Christian manner,
they obviously won't arouse any-one's
sexual desires to the point
of attack.
Fact: Rape is not a crime of
sexual passion. It is an act of
aggressive violence, using sex as
a weapon. Studies show that 75
per cent of all cases are partially
planned in advance, and that
hatred and conquest is the main
motivation, not sudden arousing
of passion.
Myth: Rape happens only to
bad girls. Bethel girls don't flaunt
themselves, so they don't need to
worry.
Fact: Everyone is susceptible.
Race, class and appearance make
no difference to a rapist. Ages of
reported victims range from six
months to ninety-three years old.
Myth: A woman can prevent
rape when attacked if she really
wants to. No Bethel girl wants to
be raped, and when she resists,
the rapist will give up and go
away.
Fact: Studies show that in 87
per cent of all rapes, the assailant
carries a weapon and/or threat-ens
the victim with death. A wo-man
resists only at the risk of
great personal harm.
Myth: Sexual assault occurs
only among strangers. A Bethel
girl has to be on guard only with
people whom she has never met.
Fact: In 65 per cent of sexual
assault cases, tne victim knows
page 6
the offender in some way. One
can easily place too much trust in
casual acquaintances, such as a
supermarket carry-out boy or
fellow employee at a new job. It is
this misplaced trust that leads to
vulnerable situations.
Myth: Rapists are easy to
prosecute. Even if this should
happen to a Bethel girl, she can
get comfort in the justice that will
be done.
Fact: In 1970, there were 365
reported cases of rape. Of these,
only 23 were prosecuted with 12
resulting in conviction. These
figures are improving due to the
1975 Minnesota Criminal Sexual
Conduct Law, but prosecution is
still very painful and difficult.
Another fact: The Bethel com-munity
promotes a loving and
often times overly trusting atti-tude
among its students. People
don't realize the danger in night-time
walks alone, or open atti-tudes
toward strangers.
The use of common sense does
not in any way conflict with our
faith in God to protect us.
The same common sense that
prompts Christians to buy life and
car insurance should prompt us to
insure ourselves against sexual
assault. There are many precau-tions
one can take.
When on the street: be with
other people—there is safety in
numbers. Always walk facing the
traffic.
Be altert, and don't take chanc-es
or be overconfident. If follow-ed,
make sure the follower knows
you are aware of him, and run to
the nearest place of safety.
At home, don't allow any stran-ger
in the house until checking
their I.D. This includes police-men,
repairmen, and salesmen.
Don't in any way advertise that
there is a girl alone in the house.
At Fountain Terrace, tne
French doors should be jammed
shut (a two-by-four is ideal).
At all college housing, make
sure the outside doors are kept
shut and locked.
Hitchhiking is not advised.
When necessary, however, never
hitchhike alone. If common sense
tells you that something is out of
the ordinary, get out at first
chance.
Even when all precautions are
taken, there is still a chance of
being attacked. If so, try to
remain calm and avoid physical
combat.
Use your intuition and evaluate
the situation. If there is a chance,
run, scream or yell "FIRE."
Yelling "rape" tends to scare
away rescuers.
Do not fight back if the assail-ant
threatens to use a weapon.
Should you be sexually assault-ed,
there are definite steps to
take.
Write down everyting you can
remember about the assailant.
Do not change clothing, bathe, or
apply any medication, as the phy-sical
evidence is important. Re-port
to the police immediately.
An emergency medical exami-nation
is needed for treatment,
testing and evidentiary purposes.
Friends, family members and
sexual assault crisis centers are
available for personal help and
support.
The SOS Hotline, 298-5898, is a
24-hour crisis line for victims of
sexual assault. SOS's services in-clude
support groups, emergency
money, and an advocate service.
An advocate is a person trained in
the legal, medical and personal
aspects of sexual assault, who
helps the victim through the trau-matic
times.
The SOS Hotline will also
answer any further questions on
sexual assault.
On Nov. 10, at old campus,
there will be a presentation on
rape and sexual assault. The
program is moving and informa-tive.
Shirley Mullen, old campus
supervisor, should be contacted
for further information.

Any comments I make about
Tom Netherton will be sifted
through my feminine by-line, and
(if Clarion readers are like male
members of the Clarion staff)
discarded as either sour grapes or
hysterical idol worship.
It seemsto me last year's news
editor Laura Alden had to defend
the integrity of her admiration for
Senator Mark Hatfield. Let me,
also, establish some middle
ground:
First, I'm not immune to Tom's
charisma. Dressed in my Satur-day
worst at 10 a.m., hair
straight, I was playing piano in
the choir room when who should
knock at the door but Tom
Netherton and his accompanist.
Could they use the piano?
I whisked up my books and fled
the room without introductions,
wondering how life could play
such cruel tricks. (Now wasn't
that silly? He was wearing blue
jeans too.) Yes, the man is
attractive.
Second, the guy can sing. His
voice is a tremendous instrument
of versatility. Gentle on "The
Way We Were" (complete with
three-legged stool), and powerful
on the grand finale of a patriotic
medley (complete with a spoken
pledge of allegiance).
Third, Tom is very personable.
At the post-concert reception, he
mingled more than anyone as
most guests watched him shyly
from the room's corners. He
talked to chef Wayne Erickson
about the "fabulous" tuna cream-cheese
loaf and helped himself to
thirds.

debate
continued from page 5
On the affirmative team, the
majority of the research is done
on an individual basis, while on
the negative team the research is
more of a group effort. Because of
the broad aspect of material that
may be covered, a research
coordinator is used for the nega-tive
team.
Mike Emerson is Bethel's re-search
coordinator. He makes
sure the evidence is distributed,
sorting and assigning various de-baters
to research specific areas.
To check the information he often
confers with Coach Lee or T.A.
Bill Fratz.
Occasionally there are subjects
that can be debated without
working hard at research, but
very infrequently.

Hugh McLeod, assistant to the
president, and Glen Hayne, su-perintendent
of buildings and
grounds, were both optimistic
that this plan, be it temporary or
permanent, could be implement-ed
in the not-sa-distant future.
Long range plans include the
possibility of a sidewalk extend-ing
from the ceremonial steps to
the circle parking lot. This would
entail a picturesque bridge being
built across the stream. Such a
plan and model have been pro-posed
by Stu Luckman's art
department.
Other lighting inadequacies ap-pear
to have been alleviated, as in
the recent appearance of lighting
along the lake pathway to and
from the seminary, and the
installation of lighting at the
Highway 51 and Old Snelling
Avenue entrances. These were
funded in entirety by the Bethel
Women's Auxiliary.
Nevertheless, the problem still
exists at the present time regard-ing
the circle lot. Therefore,
whether you suffer from degrees
of night blindness or even just a
basic (and perhaps well-founded)
apprehension of unlit walkways in
an area not known as Shangrila,
perhaps you'd be advised to study
the extra ten minutes until some-one
else can join you for that
stroll. After all, safe it may not
be, but romantic it is!

And last, he has a valiant
stance for Christ in Hollywood.
"Lawrence Welk came over with
a song about prayer he wanted
me to do for the show," Tom
answered a question about com-promise.
"One of the lines said,
'no matter what you believe...' I
told him I couldn't sing it because
I believed Christ is the only way
to God the Father."
So, with all those genuine
"givens," why was I a little
disappointed with the concert?
Show biz gimmickry. I knew we
were in for it the moment a
spotlight traced Tom's entrance
in a silver-studded white suit.
Tom doesn't need to sell himself.
In fact, I had illusions of his
natural charisma being some kind
of noble obstacle to him.
I had heard about how discreet-ly
Tom handled attention from
women. But his Welkian tech-nique
of crooning to females in
the audience became too indul-gent
for my comfort in several
cases.
The concert couldn't depart
from a movie-magazine empha-sis,
perpetrated by audience ques-tions
such as, "Is it true you're
going with Anna from the Law-rence
Welk show?" and "Are you
going to have your own show?"
I realize it was a homecoming
show and not a sacred concert (he
sang two sacred pieces). Hope-fully
the difference is this: at a
show, Tom apparently gives his
audience just what they want—
himself, and plenty of it.
The results are reminiscent of

Friesen and Brown pull each

Friesen is the Royals' premier
distance runner. His best time so
far this season for a five-mile
course is 26:50, done in the meet

Coach Glader said, "He'll get
stronger and will certainly be an

x-country meet under sun
by Greg Kuntz
Brent Friesen is a biology
major from Mountain Lake,
Minn., and has been out for cross-country
since his sophomore year
in high school. "I was too small
for football, so I tried cross-coun-try
and did surprisingly well—in
fact better than I thought I
would."
Friesen ran as first man his
junior and senior years, and went
to state his senior year when he
placed 7th in class A. He ran a
three mile course in an impres-sive
15:15, working down from
around 19 minutes earlier in his
career.
He was also a national merit
semi-finalist and was recruited by
about eight schools before decid-ing
to come to Bethel.
"My parents heard about
Bethel from others. It seems like
everyone is close here and there's
a good Christian emphasis," he
said. "Bethel is reasonably close
to home, and I'm glad I'm here."
Friesen is 5'8" and Coach Gene
Glader said, "He certainly has
the attributes of a good distance
runner and he works at it day
after day."
He runs twice a day and ran
1,000 miles last summer. He ran
in the annual 26-mile marathon at
Paavomurmi, Wisconsin, placing
74th out of 800 starters.
Friesen likes long distances,
and ranks with the best freshmen
runners Bethel has ever had.
He loves the outdoors and
enjoys doing other sports like
cross-country skiing, racketball,
basketball, and plans on being
out for the track team.
Coach Glader said, "As a
person, an athlete, or as a
student, he's an asset to Bethel,
ind I'm glad he's here."
"I compete because I like it and
do well. I'll keep running for the
rest of my life," Friesen said.
He said that being __a good
runner is like the Christian life in
its discipline.
"You need to eat the right
food, don't drink or smoke, and
give up certain things to do your
best and reach higher goals."
He said that the discipline in
running carries over to rest of
your life in physical and mental
preparation.
"It's just you when you're
running or studying," he ex-plained.
"It's an attitude. If you
don't like to run, it reflects out
there. In running or in the
Christian life you need to over-come
handicaps, and it helps to
rely on God more for strength to
have the right attitude."

With good weather conditions
and a victory-hungry squad, the
Bethel men's cross-country team
sneaked by Northwestern Bible
College, 30-32, at the Concordia
Invitational last Saturday.
For the first time in three
weeks weather conditions were
nearly perfect and individual time
results reflected it. Bethel's top
finisher, Curt Brown, senior and
team captain, took the second po-sition
with a time of 27:12, and
freshman Brent Friesen finished
third with a time of 27:40. Other
key positions were held by Jim
Feleen with sixth place and Phil
Schweizer with eighth place.
Coach Gene Glader indicated,

The Bethel soccer team was
looking at a three-game week last
week. The team members were
supposed to start their week of
play against Concordia College of
St. Paul, a team they had beaten
earlier in the season. The game
was forfeited by the Concordia
coach.
Concordia forfeited, not be-cause
of the snow that day, but
because some of its starters had
gotten sick and the coach did not
want anyone else to get a cold.
Even though the game was off
and snow was falling, our men
went outside to practice for their
upcoming game against a tough
Augsburg team.
Augsburg's field was in terrible
condition with large puddles of
water making the footing treach-erous.
The field and rough play of
by the Augies took its toll on the
Bethel men with both goalies,
Jeff Beckman and Dave Vessey,
coming away with injuries to their
chest and face respectively.
Augsburg came out fired-up at
the opening whistle with five un-answered
goals in the first half.
The Royals battled back in the
second half but couldn't crack the
overly physical Augie defense.
The final score was 5-0.
Homecoming proved to be a
better game for the Royals as they
faced Hamline and won 7-0. Be-thel
scored three goals in the first
three minutes. Bethel controlled
the whole first half and held
Hamline to one shot in the half.
The tough defense was led by
Brian Bohne, Ted Simonds, Jay
Stutsman and Jon Fast who
scored two goals.
Also scoring for the Royals
were John "Milt" Anderson who
collected two goals, Dave Nolan,
Dave Osgood and Greg "Homer"
Thom, each collecting a goal.
Hamline started to play a phy-sically
cheap game when they
found themselves down by so
many goals. Reserve goalie, Dave
Vessey, had to be taken out of the
game because he had been kicked
in the foot by an opposing for-ward.
Fortunately there were no
other serious injuries to our men.
Bethel will meet Carleton to-morrow
at 10 a.m. at home, and
St. Thomas on Oct. 26, also at
home.

"I'd like to challenge students
to be more visually aware of what
is going on and what has gone on
with American Art," said Dale.
"I hope they will look at the
architecture, painting, sculpture
and other art we see and then be
able to relate it to their own lives
and the things they see."
These new interim courses,
along with other courses off
campus offer a variety of exper-iences
to the student who is
willing and able to step out for a
month.
after losing to them two weeks
ago. We're not the strongest
team, and this was one of the
meets we aimed for to win and
felt capable of winning."
Brown remarked that the pace
started out fast and other team
members agreed. This oversight
seemed to hold up according to
the results. Three of the four top
Bethel runners dropped a place
during the course of the race.
Bethel and Northwestern dom-inated
the meet. Concordia fin-ished
third as a team with 70 and
Martin Luther finished last with
98.
The team will run against
Gustavus Adolphus and Macales-ter
tomorrow at 11 a.m. at Como
Park.
