Royals destroy Sioux Falls in 24-0 Homecoming victory Drum major Ken Vork leads the infamous Bethel marching band in the halftime show during last Saturday's homecoming football game against Sioux Falls College. 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.

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 by Nancy Naumenko 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 lot via the coffee shop door and around the art department. The present candlelights on the north side of the main drive and the two beams from the trees are not sufficient to compensate for moments of almost total vision obscurity. patrol old campus, but would not be expected to accost any would-be vandals. He would simply be on hand to notify the police of any problems. Also, just having a guard would ease many people's continued on page 3 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. continued on page 7 Pathway lighting to circle lot under officials' scrutiny 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 continued on page 3 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. page 2 letters the first half last Saturday's homecoming concert. 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." Snelling campus crime defense continued from page 1 continued from page 2 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. "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now I am become a man, I have put away childish things..." Greg Jones by Steve Erickson 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 CHAPEL SCHEDULE Monday— Roots = Christol-ogy— Wayne Grudem Tuesday—Roots = Trinity Wednesday—Pastor Spick-elmier—" Half full—half empty" Thursday—Body life ser-vice 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.

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. by Denise Hansen 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. Florida diving, Chicago Spanish, New York art offered in Januarq Institute and participating in church activities will occupy some of the students' time. Students will also discuss such topics as cross-cultural commu-nication, the work of the inner-city church and adjusting to another culture. Moving farther east, a student with an art concentration could participate in "New York Art Scene." Taught by David John-son, this course provides the stu-dent with the chance to live and 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. continued on page 8 page 4 Bremer Field marks the spot for football and soccer action.

West CoNNty Road E at Snelling Across from Flaherty's Bowl. Grudem begins chapel 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 the master plan of the campus showing the present field for use as a practice field and by Betty Logan 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. The Roots program is set up so 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 continued on page 7 that each year one presentation is 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 by Stephen B. Starr 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 Biblical studies department had 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. Pepper, the layout assistant. 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. construction of new facilities in-cluding bleachers, locker rooms and a track. These new facilities would be in a type of natural amphitheatre located near Old Snelling Ave-nue. "Chub" Reynolds thinks we will have to improve facilities be-cause we're joining the MIAC (Minnesota Intercollegiate Athle-tic Conference)," said Hayne. "We can't have the teams sitting on the corner of the field at half time, you know."

Does not include French Fries 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. Showman is just too much by Holly Schmiess 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. continued on page 7 Senior Curt Brown strides across the finish line in recent cross-country action. 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. continued from page 1 Frank Knoll. Four plays later Holmgren scored on a two-yard run. Travelling 39 yards in six plays, the Royals scored again on a three-yard pass from quarterback Dan Stockfish to receiver John Selvog. "We were pleased," said Coach Reynolds of the 24-0 victory. The offense rushed for 210 yards and gained 91 yards in the air. The defense held Sioux Falls to 132 total yards and inter-cepted one pass. Mark Rapinchuk carried 16 times for 137 yards, an average of 8.6 yards per carry. Klitzke gained 37 yards, junior Greg Sut-ton picked up 11 yards and fresh-man Tim Schwalm contributed 20 yards. Holmgren passed five times and completed two for 38 yards. Stockfish threw seven times, had one intercepted and completed Volleyballers stop Pipers, lose to Augies by Carol Madison Another win and loss were added to the season record of women's volleyball when Bethel defeated Hamline and was down-ed by Augsburg last week. On Tuesday, Bethel lost to a strong, freshmen - dominated Augsburg team by scores of 3-15, 10-15 and 4-15. Augsburg was the quickest team they had faced yet, and seemingly had no weakness-es. Bethel was slow all night, but Anne Rosenthal and Cathy Duehn got Bethel back into the game as much as possible by serving and playing the back row well. Junior varsity also lost 15-10, 6-15 and 10-15. Most of the team played, trying new combinations throughout the match. Sue Max-well and Robin Wohler served well, and Kathy Miller also played well. Bethel then came back on Thursday and beat Hamline 15-10, 12-15, 16-14 and 15-8. All 12 team members played, with the emphasis on different setting combinations. The first game saw Sue Max-well, Cindi Ramm, Janet Peter-son and Sheryl Meyer all setting well. JoAnn Griffin and Teri Visel served well, which proved to be a big factor in the game. Bethel lost the second game after sliding behind right away and then playing catch-up the rest of the game. The third game was very close, but Janet Reynolds came through with good spikes. The last game saw many subs, with Reynolds again spiking well. Peterson and Griffin provided good serves. Junior varsity also beat Ham-line by scores of 15-8, 9-15 and 15-13. Sue Maxwell paced the team by playing well all around. Good serving came from Deb Sension and Joy Sorenson, along with good spikes and play from Kathy Miller and Karen Trak mann. four for a total of 48 yards. Selvog was the leading receiver for the Royals with two catches for 24 yards and a Bethel touch-down. On Saturday the Royals play Westmar College in LaMars, Iowa. "They beat Sioux Falls 7-0," said Reynolds, "and they'll do anything to beat us." Game time is at 7:30 p.m. TH 3 downs OC West in volleyball action by Paul Johnson Townhouse 3 came back from a one game deficit to win the intramural volleyball champion-ship last Saturday. After defeating New Dorm two straight games, Townhouse 3 faced Off Campus West for the title. West routed the Townhouse team 15-4 in the first game of the two out of three series. However, Townhouse 3 came bouncing back to win the second game 15-13. They then ripped West 15-7 to win the title. In intramural football, Edgren Gold beat heavily favored Foun-tain Terrace A last Saturday. Townhouse 3 beat New Dorm to set up the championship bracket. Edgren Gold will face Town-house 3 in the intramural cham-pionship game, Saturday, Oct. 22 at 10 a.m. If Townhouse 3 should win that game, they will have won both the volleyball and football championships. —pathway lighting continued from page 1 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! continued from page 6 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 B.J.—crying / laughing girls, awk-ward dates, autographs for room-mates, cameras, quiet rides home, At the Carleton Co-ed Invita-tional last Saturday, women's cross-country saw Bethel's run-ners coming in fourth out of a field of seven other schools. On what was a seemingly beautiful day, the only major thing that hampered Bethel's running was the noticeable sick-ness on the team. Leading the team in their efforts were Brenda Harris and Bobbi Hersch, who finished 14th and 25th respectively, out of a pack of more than 65 runners. Jenny Kimball came in 35th, Gail Anderson 41st and Rita Glasscock finished 46th. Coach Shirley Dawson again mentioned the problem of sick-ness the team has been having and stated it as a probable reason for the times being 30 seconds to a minute slower than the last meet. Tomorrow the team will face Dr. Martin Luther College, and Dawson is hopeful that all six team members will run. Drama patrons hope for annex Women runners place fourth at Carleton Invite by Lisa Mills dreams. But it's o.k., isn't it? I mean, he's a Christian.

Discipline the key, says harrier star Freshman Brent Friesen has been the highlight of this year's cross-country team. Kickers split There are seven active runners on the team this season, with Curt Brown being the only top retur-nee from last season. "It hurt to lose Larry Caldwell, Jim Timp, and Dave Clapp, but they still run with us and help -- coach, "We got to know each other well as a team and the Christian emphasis is a lot differ-ent than high school. We have a lot of fun too." Friesen and Brown pull each other along. "They complement each other," said Glader. 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 at Superior. Coach Glader said, "He'll get stronger and will certainly be an asset to the team in the future." Brown, Friesen shine in 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." by Becky Dye 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, "It was nice to beat Northwestern by Jon Fredrickson 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. continued from page 4 "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. page 8

Transcript | Royals destroy Sioux Falls in 24-0 Homecoming victory Drum major Ken Vork leads the infamous Bethel marching band in the halftime show during last Saturday's homecoming football game against Sioux Falls College. 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 continued on page 7 Bruce Olsen editor Greg Kuntz sports editor The Clarion Is published weekly Holly Schmiess news editor Mark Holmes photo editor by the students of Bethel College.

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 by Nancy Naumenko 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 lot via the coffee shop door and around the art department. The present candlelights on the north side of the main drive and the two beams from the trees are not sufficient to compensate for moments of almost total vision obscurity. patrol old campus, but would not be expected to accost any would-be vandals. He would simply be on hand to notify the police of any problems. Also, just having a guard would ease many people's continued on page 3 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. continued on page 7 Pathway lighting to circle lot under officials' scrutiny 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 continued on page 3 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. page 2 letters the first half last Saturday's homecoming concert. 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." Snelling campus crime defense continued from page 1 continued from page 2 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. "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now I am become a man, I have put away childish things..." Greg Jones by Steve Erickson 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 CHAPEL SCHEDULE Monday— Roots = Christol-ogy— Wayne Grudem Tuesday—Roots = Trinity Wednesday—Pastor Spick-elmier—" Half full—half empty" Thursday—Body life ser-vice 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.

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. by Denise Hansen 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. Florida diving, Chicago Spanish, New York art offered in Januarq Institute and participating in church activities will occupy some of the students' time. Students will also discuss such topics as cross-cultural commu-nication, the work of the inner-city church and adjusting to another culture. Moving farther east, a student with an art concentration could participate in "New York Art Scene." Taught by David John-son, this course provides the stu-dent with the chance to live and 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. continued on page 8 page 4 Bremer Field marks the spot for football and soccer action.

West CoNNty Road E at Snelling Across from Flaherty's Bowl. Grudem begins chapel 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 the master plan of the campus showing the present field for use as a practice field and by Betty Logan 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. The Roots program is set up so 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 continued on page 7 that each year one presentation is 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 by Stephen B. Starr 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 Biblical studies department had 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. Pepper, the layout assistant. 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. construction of new facilities in-cluding bleachers, locker rooms and a track. These new facilities would be in a type of natural amphitheatre located near Old Snelling Ave-nue.

Does not include French Fries 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. Showman is just too much by Holly Schmiess 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. continued on page 7 Senior Curt Brown strides across the finish line in recent cross-country action. 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. continued from page 1 Frank Knoll. Four plays later Holmgren scored on a two-yard run. Travelling 39 yards in six plays, the Royals scored again on a three-yard pass from quarterback Dan Stockfish to receiver John Selvog. "We were pleased," said Coach Reynolds of the 24-0 victory. The offense rushed for 210 yards and gained 91 yards in the air. The defense held Sioux Falls to 132 total yards and inter-cepted one pass. Mark Rapinchuk carried 16 times for 137 yards, an average of 8.6 yards per carry. Klitzke gained 37 yards, junior Greg Sut-ton picked up 11 yards and fresh-man Tim Schwalm contributed 20 yards. Holmgren passed five times and completed two for 38 yards. Stockfish threw seven times, had one intercepted and completed Volleyballers stop Pipers, lose to Augies by Carol Madison Another win and loss were added to the season record of women's volleyball when Bethel defeated Hamline and was down-ed by Augsburg last week. On Tuesday, Bethel lost to a strong, freshmen - dominated Augsburg team by scores of 3-15, 10-15 and 4-15. Augsburg was the quickest team they had faced yet, and seemingly had no weakness-es. Bethel was slow all night, but Anne Rosenthal and Cathy Duehn got Bethel back into the game as much as possible by serving and playing the back row well. Junior varsity also lost 15-10, 6-15 and 10-15. Most of the team played, trying new combinations throughout the match. Sue Max-well and Robin Wohler served well, and Kathy Miller also played well. Bethel then came back on Thursday and beat Hamline 15-10, 12-15, 16-14 and 15-8. All 12 team members played, with the emphasis on different setting combinations. The first game saw Sue Max-well, Cindi Ramm, Janet Peter-son and Sheryl Meyer all setting well. JoAnn Griffin and Teri Visel served well, which proved to be a big factor in the game. Bethel lost the second game after sliding behind right away and then playing catch-up the rest of the game. The third game was very close, but Janet Reynolds came through with good spikes. The last game saw many subs, with Reynolds again spiking well. Peterson and Griffin provided good serves. Junior varsity also beat Ham-line by scores of 15-8, 9-15 and 15-13. Sue Maxwell paced the team by playing well all around. Good serving came from Deb Sension and Joy Sorenson, along with good spikes and play from Kathy Miller and Karen Trak mann. four for a total of 48 yards. Selvog was the leading receiver for the Royals with two catches for 24 yards and a Bethel touch-down. On Saturday the Royals play Westmar College in LaMars, Iowa. "They beat Sioux Falls 7-0," said Reynolds, "and they'll do anything to beat us." Game time is at 7:30 p.m. TH 3 downs OC West in volleyball action by Paul Johnson Townhouse 3 came back from a one game deficit to win the intramural volleyball champion-ship last Saturday. After defeating New Dorm two straight games, Townhouse 3 faced Off Campus West for the title. West routed the Townhouse team 15-4 in the first game of the two out of three series. However, Townhouse 3 came bouncing back to win the second game 15-13. They then ripped West 15-7 to win the title. In intramural football, Edgren Gold beat heavily favored Foun-tain Terrace A last Saturday. Townhouse 3 beat New Dorm to set up the championship bracket. Edgren Gold will face Town-house 3 in the intramural cham-pionship game, Saturday, Oct. 22 at 10 a.m. If Townhouse 3 should win that game, they will have won both the volleyball and football championships. —pathway lighting continued from page 1 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! continued from page 6 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 B.J.—crying / laughing girls, awk-ward dates, autographs for room-mates, cameras, quiet rides home, At the Carleton Co-ed Invita-tional last Saturday, women's cross-country saw Bethel's run-ners coming in fourth out of a field of seven other schools. On what was a seemingly beautiful day, the only major thing that hampered Bethel's running was the noticeable sick-ness on the team. Leading the team in their efforts were Brenda Harris and Bobbi Hersch, who finished 14th and 25th respectively, out of a pack of more than 65 runners. Jenny Kimball came in 35th, Gail Anderson 41st and Rita Glasscock finished 46th. Coach Shirley Dawson again mentioned the problem of sick-ness the team has been having and stated it as a probable reason for the times being 30 seconds to a minute slower than the last meet. Tomorrow the team will face Dr. Martin Luther College, and Dawson is hopeful that all six team members will run.

From the balcony, another 200-400 more could witness any school production in comfort. There are also tentative plans for a "little theatre" to be added on to the auditorium later. This, like the present experimental theatre, would prove ideal for smaller drama productions.

Discipline the key, says harrier star Freshman Brent Friesen has been the highlight of this year's cross-country team. Kickers split There are seven active runners on the team this season, with Curt Brown being the only top retur-nee from last season. "It hurt to lose Larry Caldwell, Jim Timp, and Dave Clapp, but they still run with us and help -- coach, "We got to know each other well as a team and the Christian emphasis is a lot differ-ent than high school. We have a lot of fun too." Friesen and Brown pull each other along. "They complement each other," said Glader. 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 at Superior. Coach Glader said, "He'll get stronger and will certainly be an asset to the team in the future." Brown, Friesen shine in 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." by Becky Dye 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, "It was nice to beat Northwestern by Jon Fredrickson 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. continued from page 4 "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. page 8 |
