Steve Farguharson and Denise Hansen, commuter R.A.'s 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. Nancy Naumenko production editor Juan Ramos cartoonist Letters to the editor should be sent Suzi Wells copy editor Arlan Swanson business manager to p.o. 91 by the Sunday before publication THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53 No. 3 September 30, 1977 New commuter R.A. efforts succeed as two-way street by Phoebe Morgan It may be true that "no man is an island" for the in-resident Bethel student, but for the com-muter it's more like, "Help! I'm lost and alone in a world full of aliens." The problem of commu-ter segregation came to a head last February. Dean Marilyn Starr and Dean "Wink" Menser arranged a com-muter's breakfast, hoping to get better acquainted with students living at home. Of the 120 com-muters invited, 18 responded, indicating the serious gap. "We discovered commuting students had the tendency to involve themselves only in class," recalled Dean Starr, "maintain-ing their social life at home." In an attempt to solve this problem, the commuter assistant program was born. Steve Farquharson and Denise Hansen, commuters themselves, function, in a sense, as adjustable R.A.'s. Because of geographical limitations, Steve and Denise can't easily involve commuting students so they're concentrating on building "belongingness" through special activities. "We want them to have a feeling of homebase," explained Denise. Welcome Week this year prov-ed an excellent beginning for them, as 45 freshmen commuters lived on campus making new friends in the townhouses and the dorm. A commuter dessert at the end of the week's festivities attracted 60 of the 80 new corn-muters, providing further oppor-tunity for mingling. Weekly Bible studies are now in order led by Steve, Denise, and eventually the students them-selves. Another current project is car-pooling. A large map hangs in the C.A.'s office, alias the ticket booth, in the P.E. building. The names and addresses of motoring freshmen and transfers are mark-ed and available for referral. If interested, the office is open Mon., Wed., and Fri. from 1:10 to 2:30 p.m.; Tues. and Thur. from 11:00 a.m. to noon. A commuter's handbook, ex-plaining the "whos" and "whats" of Bethel will be available in a few weeks in addition to a weekly publication, stuffed in P.O.s, forecasting up-and-coming events. "Our biggest problem," con-tinued Steve, "is lack of contact. The success of the program de-pends on the commuters. We really want to work with them but need their feedback in order to keep things rolling. We're more than open for suggestions." Dean Staff hopes that the new program will raise the awareness of in-resident students as well. "We'd like to see some more effort on the kid's part. Our goal is that students would reach out to the point that the cnly commu-ting thing about commuters is that they live at home." Regents pose options for Old Campus sale by Denise Hansen Questions about the sale of old campus have been murmuring through crowds of Bethelites for some time now. The issue was once again brought up at the Board of Regents meeting held two weeks ago in Vancouver. Information on the meeting gathered from Burt Wessman, vice-president of business affairs, confirmed that no decisions were made about old campus. How-ever, three possibilities are in the forefront, while constant tours through old campus to possible prospects is a common occurence in the background. The minimum price for the campus, set one year ago, has not been offered by any of the sale prospects. The corporation (no name given) whose offer was rejected last year has since made a higher offer. The new offer still is below the minimum price asked. If sold to this corporation, old campus area would become space for federal subsidy hous-ing. The second possibility is not in the form of an offer yet. As it stands, it is a possibility of an offer from the government to create the Hubert Humphrey Job Core Training Center. However the use and outcome of the area is still uncertain. Adding feedback and concern-ed about who the occupants of the area will be are the Community Citizens Committee. This com-mittee is composed mainly of citizens from the old campus community. The third option, suggested by President Lundquist at the meet-ing in Vancouver, is that if old campus is not sold within the next few months, President Lundquist will appoint a task force to study how we could better use the cam-pus. Wessman explained that the sale of old campus is not the only concern of those involved. If old campus is sold, housing must be found by those students already living there. Wessman continued that draw-ings are prepared for dorms on new campus but a permit cannot yet be obtained. "Until the law suit between Northwestern Col-lege and the Village of Arden Hills is settled, our hands are tied as far as getting a building per-mit," said Wessman. The outcome of the situation cannot even be predicted at this time. Someone else passes up old campus. On the inside... Caravan returns from. Europe page 6 Closing of Highway 51 entrance page 3 Frank Bahr interview page 8 Letters to the editorl I am getting sick and tired of Bethel thieves. Yes, the time has come to get down on those people at this Christian college who are making life miserable for the rest of us. Stealing at this institution has been going up as fast as the national crime rate. Of course, that is an unofficial statistic, but with more people on campus, one would expect more crime. If we were to ask enough people, we would soon find out that most of us have at some time or another succumbed to the light fingers of an amateur thief, be it a simple pencil or a $100 calculator. Personally, I have been ripped off three times, two of which have occurred in the men's locker room. The last time was just last week, at which time I made the unfortunate mistake of leaving my wallet in an unbolted locker. Perhaps you are thinking that I was really dumb to leave any valuables in an unbolted locker. I will admit that it was a very careless move. Normally I would have left my wallet in my car. But this being the first gym activity that I would participate in for the present school year, it slipped my mind to leave my wallet in my car. Upon discovering that I had brought my ill-fortuned wallet into the locker room, I proceeded in hiding it the best I could in order to frustrate any would-be thief. I actually took the pains of folding it neatly inside an empty clothes bag and then put that in my gym bag. Then I placed the gym bag in the bottom of the locker and walked up to the gym, thinking my wallet was safe inside the neatly folded cloth-es bag. Much to my dismay, I returned to fir .1 the clothes bag ruffled and the wallet lying outside of it without the appearance of any of its former articles. Ripped off again! I could tell he was a Christian thief—he left my wallet. I guess he knew what it was like to be ripped off and having to get all new I.D.'s. The other time that I was ripped off in the locker room, the thief took my wallet and everything in it, but he was nice enough to return the wallet to my p.o. sans money. This editorial may seem to be a personal vendetta against all those who have stolen or have even thought of stealing the personal belong-ings of someone else. You may think that this editorial was written in a moment of anger and frustration and really has no purpose on this page. In some ways you are right. I am ticked, since this is my third experience with thieves. But I believe my side of the story deserves some mention, being that others who attend this institution have undergone similar misfortunes. It is particularly bothersome when I, a college student who cannot afford to get ripped off, gets all of his money stolen. It seems funny, and rather odd, that a college can call itself Christian when students have to go around with lock and key on all their personal belongings so they do not get ripped off. A Christian community should be a place where people should not have to con-cern themselves with the problem that the outside world has with stealing. They should be able to leave their clothes in an unbolted locker. They should be able to leave their calculators by their books in the library. They should be able to leave food in a dormitory refrigerator without worrying about the amount that will be left for tomorrow's meal. But such is not the case. Some of you will think that stealing is not part of the Christian vocabulary. It must be outsiders, you say. I will grant outsiders some of the blame for this problem on our campus, but I cannot leave a major portion of it in their hands. I am relegated to the thought that it is Bethel students who do the stealing, and it will take a very strong argument and even better proof to persuade me to think in any other terms. It should be mentioned at this point that great steps have been taken to bolster campus security in the past few years. An article in this week's issue mentions just a few of the things being done about the security problems. Vandalism in the parking lots has decreased dramatically and security around the campus in general has improved greatly. Unfortunately this does little to combat the small, amateur thief who can do his stealing during regular school hours in the presence of other students. Nevertheless, we appreciate the efforts of Glen Hayne and Jim Walcott to improve the security of this campus. An article in last year's Clarion (April 22, 1977) quoted Mack Nettleton, director of student affairs, as saying, "The point is we always need to be careful about our possessions. We have to take care of our own things because no amount of added security can compen-sate for leaving things lying around or in an open locker." I guess I will just have to relegate myself to this opinion. No matter where I am, at a Christian college or a secular university, I will have to keep all of my possessions under lock and key. It is a sad state of affairs, to say the least. But if you cannot trust Christians, who can you trust? Dear Editor: In response to the Clarion articles concerning the Passages magazine, we the Student Corn-munications Board would like to explain our position on the year-book at Bethel, and the future possibilities surrounding it. Last year was the first year for Passages and consequently was somewhat of a trial run. Essen-tially, the Spire was eliminated and replaced by Passages and an enlarged roster because of lack of student interest in working on the yearbook, and a disastrous ex-perience surrounding the 1976 Spire which was finally delivered last spring. We are not opposed to a year-book persay. A yearbook can be both a great learning experience for those who produce it and a treasure to those for whom it is produced. However, when ex-tremely high printing costs are coupled with a limited budget, yearbook possibilities become more restrictive. But a more visible problem is the shortage of students willing to work together to produce a year-book. Without talented persons who are qualified enough to put together a Spire, little can be done to magically create a year- 1978-79, if we can enlist a quali-book. fied editor, and restructure the Although Passages 1977 is a operation of the Spire staff.

Security is a safe campus The highway 51 entrance will be closed to all northbound traffic sometime this fall. by Jim Wiegner The new Bethel College cam-pus security offers strong protec-tion for students and their posses-sions. Bethel's security is around-the-clock. There are now three full-time and four part-time security guards. The guards patrol park-ing lots, townhouses, college buildings and monitor incoming cars at night. James Walcott, Bethel's new security coordinator, stated, "In-creased security is a precaution to avoid vandalism." Mr. Walcott's employees include a night secur-tiy guard, guardhouse personnel and around-the-clock parking lot crew. Mr. Walcott strongly urges Bethel students to lock and check their townhouses and car doors daily. If some vandalism has occurred call the Arden Hills police at 484-8802, then call the Bethel security at 641-6232. If you have any problems with strange people on campus call the campus security. Bethel's security works in coop-eration with the Arden Hills police. The police patrol the campus daily. Highwaq 51 crossing condemned, closed to all northbound traffic by Paul Varberg Many Bethel students will have to change their route to school sometime this fall. The highway department will be closing the crossing over the median on Highway 51 to Bethel Drive. Only cars coming south on Highway 51 will be able to enter Bethel Drive. The change is being made for safety reasons. The Minnesota Highway Department, Arden Hills Village Council and the police as well as Bethel College have requested the change. In fact, Bethel administrators have been requesting the closing ever since 1971. A traffic count was conducted during the peak hour of traffic, 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., by the Minnesota Highway Department. During this hour 1268 vehicles traveled south on Highway 51, while 106 vehicles crossed the road in front of them. This averages to a car every 56 seconds trying to cross Highway 51, where a vehicle is passing every three seconds. This heavy traffic along with the lack of visi-bility caused by the hill resulted it six accidents already this year. This change will force students driving north on Highway 51 to take either the County Road E exit or Old Snelling to get to school. A test made by the Superin-tendent of Buildings and Grounds, Glen Hayne, showed the distance to school by taking Old Snelling to be the same as the distance by taking Bethel Drive. Ironically, however, there have been 12 acci-dents at the Old Snelling exit this year, seven involved personal injuries, in comparison to the six, with no injuries, at the Bethel Drive exit. The safest route would be to exit on County Road E and take it to Old Snelling. Hayne's test showed this route to be only a half mile longer than the other routes. By taking an average mpg of 15 and 60 cents per gallon, it cost students four cents more per day or 20 cents more per week to take the safest route. Because most college traffic WASHINGTON, D.C. (OCNS)—Getting a "Christian eye's view" of what makes the government tick are Bethel Col-lege students who are among 23 students from 11 Christian col-leges participating this fall in the American Studies Program here. They are: Doug Magnuson, a junior majoring in linguistics and political science, James Chal-mers, a junior majoring in politi-cal science, Christine Anderson, a junior majoring in public rela-tions, Sue Lundquist, a junior majoring in communications, Steve Vodonik, a senior majoring in political science, and Tim De- Vries, a senior majoring in politi-cal science. The purpose of the program, now in its second year and sponsored by the Christian Col-lege Consortium based here, is to help students "discover how their faith in Christ can be expressed in, and is relevant to all voca-tions," according to Consortium President Gordon Werkema. They do this through a variety of pre-vocational work experien-ces in places such as offices of will then come through Bethel's main entrance, off Old Snelling, some of the present security procedures will be changed. At night the Bethel Drive entrance will be closed and the guard house moved closer to Old Snell-ing, in order for the guard to check the cars entering there. representatives and senators on Capitol Hill, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Smithsonian Institution, and else-where in Washington. Three sem-inars a week are the other main thrust of the American Studies Program's work-study extension of the students' overall college education. The Bethel College students spend about 20 hours a week working in offices located in the Washington, D.C. area. Doug is working in the office of the Peace Corps; James is also working for the Peace Corps; Christine is working in the office of Inter-national Media Services; Sue is working for the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs; Steve is working in the office of Rep. Charles Whelan (Ohio) and Tim is working in the office of Senator Wendell Anderson (Minn.). The seminars, held during the afternoons, are led by knowledge-able officials in a variety of fields in both government and the cultural world. Director of the program is Dr. John Bernbaum, himself a gra-duate of a Christian college—Cal-vin College, Grand Rapids, Mich.—who previously worked for the Department of State. In addition to arranging for the work-study experiences of each of the students, Dr. Bernbaum also seeks to help the students "grow spiritually" while they are here, which he says is also an important goal of the program. The students are given an opportunity to become acquainted with the "spiritual life" here by visiting various significant church and para-church organizations in the Washington metropolitan ar-ea. The American Studies Program began Sept. 7 and continues through the current academic year, with participating students earning 3.5 semester credits per month toward graduation. Most students stay here for three or four months. The program is open primarily to juniors and seniors. Persons interested in enrolling should contact the academic dean's office on campus for further information and applica-tion forms. Established in 1971, the Chris-tian College Consortium (com-prised of 14 evangelical colleges and universities throughout the nation) is dedicated to the "pro-motion, development and articu-lation of the unique contributions that dynamic Christian higher education can make to contempo-rary society," Dr. Werkema said.

Approximately 200 students participated in the ten different projects organized by the Service Day committee. The day started out with donuts and coffee in the gym followed by a message by Dr. Rees. After the message the students were divided into the various groups for which they had volunteered. Some worked half a day and others worked the whole day. I thank Jim Torgerson and other members on the organizing committee for their hard work. I especially thank all of you students who volunteered and gave some of your time to do a job for the community. Everyone who enjoyed the work they did should look into the social ministries program that Christian Service has just implemented. It would be a valuable way to contribute your time helping other people. Tannie Woods and I attended the Board of Regents meeting at Vancouver Bible College in British Columbia on September 15-16. Three main decisions concerning Bethel College were made during the meeting. First, the proposed annex to the LRC building was approved by the Board. Dr. Brushabaer said that hopefully the building permit can be acquired by the end of October. If the permit is approved work can be started the middle of November. Second, the Board of Regents authorized the processing and sale of old campus if there is an offer that matches or exceeds the minimum amount that they set. It is important to note that no offers large enough have been made so far, but we are hopeful that one will be made. Finally, Bethel has been instructed to amend its application for building permits for dormitories at new campus from two dorms to five dorms. Bethel must also proceed to secure the financing required to construct and make operational these new dorms. Again it should be noted that the extra three dorms will not be built unless old campus is sold. Each of the Student Senate internal committees are hard at work on their projects. The rules-finance committee did a fine job of handling freshman elections this week. The number of people running for freshman senator positions were the most we have ever had running. I thank the freshmen for their interest and encourage those not elected to get involved in some other way. Special projects committee handles most of the business dealing with on-campus items. Currently they are investigating putting buzzers into the Fountain Terrace apartments so that non-residents of the apartments can contact those people inside. The Public Action committee is starting three projects. First the bowl of rice program has begun again. Money obtained from it goes to support Hatian orphans. Second, they are helping Christian Ser-vice locate students interested in working at the Courage Center in an "adopted grandparents" program. Finally, they are going to start raising money for a missionary couple who are going to the Phili-pines in October. I would like to express my appreciation to all of those students who applied for student-faculty committees. It is good to see so many students who are interested in assisting with the administration and policy making of the school. Your input will prove to be valuable. Carl Gerbrandt, baritone, will perform in chapel on Tuesday. Renowned opera baritone comes to Bethel Tuesdaq training took him to Peabody Conservatory of Music. He was quickly engaged in numerous recital appearances as well as opera and concert per-formances with the National Sym-phony, Baltimore Opera Com-pany, Washington Civic Opera Company, and Hartford Opera Association. He has also toured with the Eastern Opera Theatre. Gerbrandt recently returned from Europe after concentrated study with several of Germany's lead-ing vocal and operatic coaches. Acclaim has followed Ger-brandt as he continues to make his mark not only on the opera stage, but also in oratorio, con-cert, and recital appearances. He has toured extensively in Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Canada, and throughout the United States. Mr. Gerbrandt is associated with the Peabody Conservatory as a member of the voice faculty and instructor of acting. by Holly Schmiess Operatic baritone Carl Ger-brandt will bring both his per-formance and coaching prowess to Bethel on Tuesday, Oct. 4. In the morning convocation, Mr. Gerbrandt will sing German lieder, contemproary English poem settings, and a set of Ravel chansons. The music faculty will have lunch with the guest artist at 12:10 p.m. A master class from 3:40 to 4:30 p.m. will allow Bethel music students to benefit from Mr. Ger-brandt's teaching. He will ana-lyze the literature, style, and per-formance techniques of several vocal soloists, coach the students, and inform the audience as well. Carl Gerbrandt received his early music training in California and Kansas. He taught voice performance and directed opera for several years before begin-ning a personal concert career. The pursuit of further vocal Bethel student reflects on Thai summer by Terry Rosell Three thirty-five a.m. Time to get out from underneath the mos-quito netting (which, by the way, apparently had not been designed to keep out ants). We didn't usually get up so early, but the taxi (called "songteo") left the Thai village below at 7:15 a.m. and the village was a good three-hour walk down the moun-tain. Walking in the dark, it would take us even longer.. By the light of a single kerosene flame, I quickly found and slipped on the old pair of trousers that I'd rinsed out in the stream the night before and had hung on a bamboo pole to dry. I had bathed at the same time, and the water felt indescribably wonderful after spending three days and two nights in the same crusty clothes, with no opportun-ity to bathe. In 15 minutes we were ready; and with five Meo, and two small flashlights accompanying us, we left the little village perched on a hillside in the middle of the jungle. "We walk by faith, not by sight..." "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path..." "Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am worn. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light..." As we slipped and stumbled our way through the dark jungle, many scripture passages and parts of old hymns that seemed to describe my present situation came to mind. I decided that living a Christian life must indeed be quite like walking in a dark and muddy jungle path, and I thought of many parallels between the two concepts. It kept my mind busy as my feet struggled to stay on the trail. I also continued to remind the Lord that this would certainly be a ridiculous time to fall and break a leg... My text was from I Thesssa- Ionians 5 .,24—"Faithful is He who calls you, Who will also bring it to pass." But first I took out my guitar and harmonica, and I played and sang a couple of verses of "Amazing Grace." Almost everybody knew that song. The Meo had their own translation, of course: "Koj txo-kev hlub kuv zoo siab kawg, txawj pab tibneeg sawvdaws..." Leona interpreted for me while I told the white Meo congrega-tion that I believed God calls us to at least three things, and these He has or will bring to pass in our lives if we will trust Him to do so. (1) God calls us to accept His free gift of salvation. (2) God calls us to live daily for Him. (3) God will someday call us to be with Him forever. After the service, a middle-aged Meo lady came up and thanked me (through Leona) for continued on page 6 Page 4 Professor Oliver Mogck leads the Male Corus in practice session.

There will be a lot going on. 1) We want you to pick a campus host and hostess to represent the school, so you might be thinking about who you would like to nominate. 2) We would like to build one or two floats for the home game, so if you have ever worked on one or have any ideas on how we can best accomplish this, we would appreciate you stopping in. 3) Also, on your calendar you'll want to take special note of the days of Spirit Week and the designated attire for each day. 4) Friday night brings our traditional carnival! Anyone wanting to set up a booth is welcomed to do so. Please stop in at the CC office for an application and instruction sheet. 5) Last, but not least, we are topping off the week with a supper con-cert Saturday evening featuring Tom Netherton & The Sixth Day. People from outside our school have been asking for tickets for several weeks now. We will limit ticket sales to Bethel students starting Monday, Oct. 3 until the 7th, so please don't wait until it's too late. After the 7th, ticket sales will go public...if there's anything left! Cynthia and Scott Closed minds Open mouths by David Shelley The Clarion's first issue this year included an editorial policy statement with which I find agreement. However, the student newspaper has been both the vehicle and the recipient of past criticism, and for this reason it seems warranted to further clarify and define the role of the paper. Informing is the first duty of a newspaper, and the purpose of a news story is objective reporting of current facts. Objective reporting means there is no expression of the writer's opinion. It also involves reporting all sides of a story. A feature story is different in that its content is more often of human interest. It may be less objective and may focus on a person or place rather than an event. Like a news story, its purpose is not to crticize, but it seeks to draw interest. Controversy arises most naturally over the editorials. An editorial is written to express the viewpoint of the newspaper and is not attributed to any individual. Editorials may inform, praise or criticize. Informative editorials may attempt to explain a problem so that the reader may understand the issues involved. Some editorials intend to praise or encourage achievements or actions. Most common is the critical editorial in which (if it is well-written) a problem is defined, a solution is offered and suggestions for appropriate action are made. Its goal is innovation, not cynicism. Often because a paper concentrates on a problem it is accused of being negative and vindictive. It seems, though, that most frequently those who feel it is negative are those about whom something negative has been written. Hopefully, the paper is attacking a problem and not a person. And in both research and editorials there is a fine line between hounding and seeking truth. Amazing as it may seem, some people don't even know what a letter to the editor is. Its purpose is solely to allow the paper's readers to express their own views to the public. Columns are articles that appear regularly in the paper with the same writer each time. Some columnists are assigned to write about the same general area all the time while others are free to cover any subject. This is a column. I am the only one to write it, and I am free to be as boring or obnoxious (within reason) as .1 wish, until I lose my job. Reviews are essays giving critical evaluations of books, films and performances. Beyond these categories college newspapers may include articles of fiction or humor. The newspapers's purpose, then, is to inform, criticize and entertain. Hopefully, when the newspaper is representing a Christian community these ends will be sought in a spirit of Christian dedication and love. for upcoming season 200 people for college choir, 70 of which were sopranos. He stressed the fact that they didn't lack talent but that there simply was not enough room to place every-one. There is no Chapel Choir this year and to help take its place, the music department may consider starting another women's choir to include the many who have shown interest in singing. Professor Rainbow's "Colorful Caravan" Show exhausting as emotions explode by Suzi Wells "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" (Prov. 17:12) was the theme of Dr. Don Rainbow's, "Colorful Caravan." "Caravan" is a group of Bethel "vagabonds" who performed for military bases this summer in Europe. "Caravan," actually a product of Dr. Rainbow's imagination, includes seven multi-talented Be-thel students and Dr. Rainbow himself. The group has spent the past four summers spreading the message of God through song, dance, acting and testimonies. The purpose of this unique act is to share God's message in a positive way that people will en-joy and respond to. It is patterned after the turn-of-the-century med-icine wagon shows, and Dr. Rain-bow performs as the medicine man. "I thought I would recreate the spirit of vagabonds and tromp throughout the West," Dr. Rain-bow explained about his idea for the show. The first two years of "Caravan" were spent touring the west coast, and the last two have been in Europe. The show includes songs from the turn of the century, but also features many contemporary Broadway tunes. After the au-dience experiences the many parts of the show, it concludes with testimonies of the perform-ers. Dr. Rainbow created "Cara-van" in order to spread the gospel in a fresh new way through theater. He said that he wanted for the members of "Caravan" to give expression to their faith in theater. Playing off the name "Rain-bow," as a symbol of God's promise, the group also tries to share God's. promises through many talents. "The rainbow will always remain a sign of God's promise," Dr. Rainbow pointed out. Besides being a way to spread God's promises to others, "Cara-van" was a growing experience for its members, who included Sue Greene, Carol Anderson, Mary Frances Fiess, Martha Le-ander, Duane Glader, Juan Ra-mos and Jeff Miller. Explaining his reasons for audi-tioning for "Caravan," Juan Ra-mos said that it presented a challenge for him, and he liked challenges. "It was a big step of faith," Juan said. "Half of those who auditioned were either music or theater majors, and I felt a little intimidated." At that time, Juan was an art major. Now he is a theater major. "Caravan" auditions tested Juan's dependency on God, since he was required to sing with piano accompaniment, and he had never played piano and did not have an accompaniest. He had four days to prepare for his second audition, and in those four days he found a pianist, recorded this accompaniment, practiced singing and brushed up on his flamenco dancing. "Afterwards, I didn't care if I made it or not," Juan remem-bered. "It was the most fun experience of my life. I did all the call backs asked for. It showed how much a person can do if you put your trust in God. "I'm just not the same person I was before auditions," Juan con-by Will Healy "Why, he does it for a multi-tude of reasons, all of them quite simple and straightforward if you pay attention to the play. People try to read too much into it." So warned Robert Shaw, author of "The Man in the Glass Booth," concerning the play's central character. Yet this by now trite exhortation to refrain from too zealously plumbing the depths of a literary work is preposterous. (Where would Jim Anderson be without literary overkill?) The play, based roughly on the trial of Adolph Eichman, revolves around Goldman, a wealthy real estate tycoon accused of Nazi war crimes. While the first act is devoted to the establishment of Goldman's character, the second act explodes in an ascending assault of poignant emotions. Portrayed brilliantly by Gary Moody, Goldman emerges as a highly complex antagonist whose motives are baffling. The play's rapid pace leaves the viewer with the arduous task of sorting out and interpreting these motives. On a general level the play pro-poses a number of questions and tinued, "and I credit that all to the Lord." Like Juan, Martha Leander, as a Bible and psychology major, found "Caravan" to be a totally new experience. "It's really changed my life," she said. "Those five weeks were such a growing experience. I think the Lord really had things to teach me." Martha said that ever since she saw "Caravan" perform at Wel-come Week her first year at Bethel, she made it her ambition to be part of the group. "I knew it would be good professionally," she said. For Martha, the highlight of the tour was meeting people. The group would stay at homes of people they did not know, but they all shared a unity in Christ. Many of the people they perform-ed for were Christians, and "Caravan" seemed to put a spark into their lives as they saw God's message shown from a different perspective. Yet there were those the group performed for who were not Christians. "It was good for me to see Army life," Martha related. "I saw the emptiness in their lives, and being at Bethel, I don't see that." She also said that this was a good experience for her to be able to bring some joy into these people's lives who seemed to have so little. "The positive aspect of 'Cara-van' is a real asset to our witness," Martha said. "The medicine wagon is compared to one splash of color in a drab world." The "Caravan" was like a bright splash in the world of Army green. possible explanations concerning Nazism. In a powerful courtroom monologue Goldman attempts to explain the feeling on the part of the German people toward their beloved fuhrer. The question aris-es as to where the guilt for such atrocities should be placed. While Goldman's point is that the guilt is universal, the fact that the trial takes place in an Israeli court heightens the conflict all the more. On the individual level, we are left with Goldman and we have no The Minnesota Education As-sociation (MEA) today com-menced a lawsuit against the state of Minnesota, charging unfair labor practices and possi-ble violations of the U.S. and state constitutions. The precedent-setting suit re-sults from actions by the last tow legislatures in denying and a-mending arbitration awards is-sued as culminations of negotia-tions between the state and the Minnesota Community College Faculty Association (MCCFA), an MEA affiliate of nearly 1,000 faculty in the state's 18 public two-year colleges. The more-than-46,000-member MEA points out that the 1975 and 1976 sessions of the legislature denied cost-of-living increases a-warded by a three-member ar-bitration panel in 1975, and that the 1977 session reduced salaries awarded by another three-mem-ber arbitration panel. The MEA contends that, by so doing, the legislature. continued from page 4 the reminder that she would someday—after the third "call" —again see her husband and son in Heaven. The one had died two years ago, the other just six months ago. Another lady stopped to talk also. She was an old granny, but her wrinkled little face lit up like the sunshine. She told of her love for the Lord, and then said, (in Meo), "Go back to America and study for a couple more months, but then come back to Thailand and teach us..." I longed to say something, or to simply reach out and squeeze her gnarled hand, but I just smiled. Somehow, I think she understood. The Lord called me to spend my summer working with a mission-ary (of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship) among the white Meo in North Thailand. He called, and He brought it all to pass. I prayed many times that my presence there would be a help, and not a hindrance, a blessing, and not a burden. I believe that He brought this to pass, also. And He blessed me again and again and....

Speech coach optimistic for current year by Mary Smith The year looks great for Beth-el's speech department—both in debate and individual speech competition! Coach David Lee is optimistic about the coming sea-son. Debate tournaments will be held at least once a week or more at various places in the midwest. The topic of debate is the resolu-tion: that U.S. law enforcement agencies should be given signifi-cantly greater freedom in the investigation and/or prosecution of felony crime. The first debate was from Sept. 23 to 25 at Western Illinois Uni-versity in Macomb. Bethel made it to finals, and was the only team from Minnesota to make the top 16 teams, in which they ranked 10th. Twelve to 13 different states were represented in the debate. continued on page 7 Caravan spreads Gospel MEA charges state with constitutional violations Page 6 Dale Johnson inspects one of his drawings from "Unwel-corned Innocence."

West County Road E at Snelling Across from Flaherty 's Bowl. new soccer coach by Steve Erickson An art major, who served as co-editor of last year's Passages, has returned to Bethel this year to pursue one of his other interests, soccer. Last year, Bethel soccer team graduated only one letterman, Peter Genheimer. This year he's back, but serving a different role, that of soccer coach. After contributing to Bethel's successful season, Peter applied last December for the coaching position vacated by Steve Voth. Although a full-time faculty mem-ber was preferred, Peter was hired. He also helps teach the team sports class for physical education concentrators. He was born and raised in South Africa where his parents serve as missionaries. Though soccer is popular there, his high school did not field a team until his junior year. Instead Peter played the country's favorite sport, rugby, and also some unor-ganized soccer. In 1970 he entered Bethel. For his first two years, he participated on the soccer club, which became a varsity sport in 1973. Peter traveled back to South Africa after his sophomore year where he worked as a printer and accountant before deciding to return to Bethel. When he returned to school, he seriously injured his knee in a game. He worked to strengthen the knee, but it hasn't been the same since. Although Peter graduated an art major, he's interested in mis-sion work. Even if he does not become a missionary, he still hopes to live overseas. He may enter Bethel Seminary next year. As a coach, Peter likes to employ a short passing game. This means passes are kept on the ground for maximum control. As for predicitions, he states, "This should be the most success-ful season that the Bethel soccer team has had to date." He thinks this team has potential to be MIAC champions. "It's just a matter of settling down and play-ing our game." Having almost all of last year's talent back plus a good crop of newcomers should make matters much easier for the first-year coach. by Terri Hanson Sept. 8 marked the opening of Dale Johnson's art show, "Un-welcomed Innocence." The show consisted of a collections of drawing and lithographs portray-ing children. Children, according to Mr. Johnson, are not "cute little darlings," but rather whole hu-man beings with spontaneous joys, fears, and sorrows. He essentially sees all mankind as children. Although adults may wear masks to hide their emotions, eventually their attitudes and actions reveal them in much the same way as children. Many of Dale Johnson's draw-ings are of people he knows. However, he wishes to move the image away from the portrait to a more universal image and portray the joy and sorrow of the average human being. For Dale Johnson, an art show consisting of drawings about chil-dren is a relatively new innova-tion. For the past seven years he has been working on landscapes and abstractions. (Some exam-ples of these may be seen in the music lounge and the chemistry department.) Not until last year when he went to Europe with the Bethel college choir did Mr. Johnson begin • to take an interest in drawing people.

He is seeking to use the materials in a new and fresh way and says he is "learning a lot." Dale Johnson began drawing as a small child while sitting in church. Every Sunday his mother would hand him a pencil and a piece of paper to keep him quiet. His interest in drawing, howev-er, became more than a "quiet pastime" and in 1969 he graduat-ed from Michigan State Universi-ty. While attending school, Mr. Johnson worked at an advertising agency doing creative designing. Even since his graduation he has been teaching here at Bethel. "Unwelcome Innocence" showed until Sept. 29. It was definitely worth seeing because study of the drawings and litho-graphs revealed personal emo-tions, attitudes and ideals in the unwelcomed innocence of a child. Odegard, Todd Benson, and Jim Hall rounded out the top seven. Coach Glen Glader is optimistic about this year's team. "The guys are a dedicated group of young men. They get up at 6:30 a.m. three times a week to run and also in the afternoons, total-ing between 70 and 80 miles a week." Tomorrow the team will com-pete in an invitational at Winona at noon. Warrendale and St. Andrews Churches are co-sponsoring a bloodmobile drive, Fri., Oct. 7 from 2-7 p.m. Call 488-1098, or 489-2541. Walk-ins are welcome. continued from page 6 Bethel had 5 wins for the week-end and 3 losses. The team will participate in tournaments regularly through the next few months. The season will end on Dec. 10 at the University of Wisconsin in White-water. The contests will require three to ten debates, each averag-ing about 90 minutes. Lee feels that he has excellent people to work with this fall, with various degrees of experience. "I try to have people at several levels," Lee states. His main objective is to set individual goals for each participant. Lee feels there will be dramatic improve-ment in each one. This year 40 people are partici-pating in the two departments, 20 in debate, 20 in individual speak-ing. For the past three years, the debate team has consisted of eight to ten people. The size has more than doubled from last year. Like many sports, debate is a co-curricular activity. Students taking part receive no credit and have regular seasons, many prac-tice sessions and travel to many schools. The individual speeches, such as oral interpretation, rhetorical criticism, persuasion and extem-poraneous, are open to anyone, not just the members of the team. Any individual entering may ob-tain information at brief weekly meetings at 3:40 p.m. in LRC 301 on Tuesdays. Harriers place to second in triangular meet by Sari Winans A triangular meet at St. Olaf last Friday opened the season for the women's cross country team. St. Olaf, the state's strongest team, took first place, Bethel took second, and Augsburg took last place. Bethel's strategy involved each runner picking out a contestant from St. Olaf that she could stick with. The purpose of each girl was to use the meet to cut down time and gain experience. The cross country season is divided into three sections. The first two weeks are spent building endurance. Concentration on hard practice is the aim of the next four weeks. Meets encountered during this period are not used to score records but do gain experience. The girls at this point aren't yet in top condition and are still build-ing strength. For the remainder of the season just before going to state compe-tition, the practices become eas-ier and their goal is to "peak" or to do their best at these last races. Tomorrow, the women will be traveling to the Macalester Invi-tationals at Lake Nokomis in Min-neapolis. Twelve teams will be participating. Coach Shirley Daw-son said, "We will be looking for better times and learning to run a strategic race." Genheimer back in coaching role Art portrays unique view Page 7 Frank Bahr, winner of the "teddy bear of the year" award. Award winning Bahr relates experience St. Thomas subdues kickers by G.W. Smith The Bethel soccer team receiv-ed their first loss of the season last Saturday from a very skilled St. Thomas team by a score of 3-1. Bethel entered the first half hustling and forced the stronger St. Thomas to work particularly hard in establishing a scoring threat. Yet the polished St. Thomas team showed excellent ball con-trol and scored within the first 15 minutes of play. St. Thomas displayed good teamwork against Bethel in the remainder of the first half and had the Royals scampering to form an organized attack. The half ended with St. Thomas leading, 1-0. In the second half Bethel opened with a quick retaliatory goal by Doug Hage on an assist by Milt Anderson, making the score 1-1. The Royals began to rally and work together with a new enthu-siasm and fought the St. Thomas by Carol Madison Bethel's volleyball team lost their match to St. Catherine's on the 22 in three straight games, but the outcome of the match doesn't really reflect the play involved. St. Kate's was a much more balanced team overall, with all of their players returning from last year's nationally ranked team. "I can't say I came away dis-appointed," said Coach Karyl Frye. She felt that Bethel actually played better and has improved in many areas since last year. The team seemed to have better team-work and improved fundamen-tals. Bethel played a defensive game most of the night, but some good rallies and spikes highlighted the offense. The basic problem came in the area of blocking. Not enough spikes were blocked, so the back row had more than they could handle, which in turn meant there wasn't enough chance to set. "Our back row got quite a few spikes that would have hit the floor last year," explained the coach, "but we had trouble directing our hits." The serving was also rather inconsistant. Coach Frye basically concentra-ted on trying different combina-tions and varieties to find out who works together the best. She used eight players, all seeing action in numerous offensive positions. team until 20 minutes later when St. Thomas scored their second goal. The St. Thomas goal dampened Bethel's drive and ten minutes later St. Thomas scored once again to make it a 3-1 ball game. In the last few minutes of the game St. Thomas showed good hustle and Bethel failed to amass another score before the final whistle. "They were good," said Coach Peter Genheimer concerning St. Thomas. "We didn't play as good as we could have and they played pretty well." Dickie Voth returned to the starting line-up for Bethel and turned in a fine performance as did senior Ted Simmonds. Both Voth and Simmonds had been out of action because of injuries. Sophomore Jeff Beckman play-ed another good game at goalie, making several timely saves. Tomorrow Bethel faces St. John's at 10:00 a.m. in a home contest on the Bethel football field. Those who saw action through-out the night were Teri Visel, Joanne Watlov, JoAnn Griffen, Cindi Ramm, Cathy Duehn, Janet Reynolds, Sheryl Meyer and Jan-et Peterson. The junior varsity also lost their seasonal debut to St. Catherine's in two straight games. Freisen places second in meet by Dave Clapp Bethel's men's cross country team competed in its first home meet of the season last Saturday, a triangular against Northwestern of Minnesota and Concordia of St. Paul. Northwestern finished first with a score of 26 points, but not without a fight from Bethel who finished second with 29 points. Concordia came in third with 72 points. For the third week in a row, Bethel's lead runner was Brent Freisen, a freshman from Moun-tain Lake, Minn., who placed second in the meet with a time of 27:59. Bethel's second runner was the team's captain and only senior, Curt Brown, who placed third with a time of 28:16 (times continued on page 7 by Greg Kuntz Frank Bahr never thought of playing football past high school, but the 6'2", 255 lb. defensive tackle has been one of the number 9 rated Royal's premier linemen. Bahr, married this past spring, and a business major, said that he wasn't planning on coming back to Bethel this year. "I want to go into some aspect of sales and work with people. I started work-ing at New York Life and things were going well. I prayed a lot about it and things worked out that I could still work and play football. I'm really glad I made that decision," said Bahr. Bahr attended Armstrong High School in New Hope, Mn. where he made all-conference his senior year. He was voted all-state by coaches to play in the annual Shrine benefit Bowl at the U. of Minn. as part of the southern Minnesota high school all-stars. He has played football since sixth grade, except for one year in junior high when his school didn't have a football program. He went out for soccer instead. As a freshman in high school, Bahr returned to the football scene. "I went into high school hearing stories about how the upperclassmen use the freshmen and sophomores for 'dummies'," he said. Bahr's mother was an encour-agement. "She told me one day before practice not to give up and that I'd do fine," related Bahr, "so I stuck it out and things kept getting better." "That year I got the 'teddy bear of the year' award at the end of the season. My coach said I smiled too much," chuckled Bahr. The solid defensive lineman has always been on a winning team, and was actively recruited by 15 colleges and universities, besides receiving letters from over 100 others. "My pastor sent a letter to 'Chub' Reynolds at Bethel and he called me to come visit. I was here for three days and was more impressed with the academic quality and the football players than any other school I visited," explained Bahr. The husky young man came to Bethel as a freshman in 1974. "I'll never forget my first game as a freshman against Macales-ter. I hit Ron Groves and thought I'd hit a freight train," snickered Bahr. Bahr has never really been hurt, never missed a game, and has started in every one as either defensive tackle or defensive end. As a sophomore in 1975, Bahr received honorable mention in the old Tri-State Conference, of which Bethel is no longer a member. Bahr explained that experience has helped him develop immense-ly. As a junior, he started as an end quite frequently: "I played end because we needed more experience at that position. I enjoy playing tackle, though, because there's less responsibili-ties and more freedom to do what you want to there," laughed Bahr. "I also enjoyed my junior year by getting to know Doug Berg." Berg and Bahr both made all-conference as defensive tack-les in 1976. Bahr has looked forward to this season and said that the team is growing spiritual-ly and physically. "Football is a big part of the school curriculum and as Christ-ians we have the responsibility and challenge to be a witness in this area, too," Bahr pointed out. "Other teams have come into our locker room, even when we've beaten them soundly, and have commented on not only our abilities but on our attitude and unity as a team. In this way I feel there's no difference between the team and the rest of Bethel, even if we're watched more than other groups or considered the row-dies of the school." The Royals are a strong team with a lot of talent. "Our defense works well to-gether and helps me in my performance. It also helps to practice against our offensive line—guys like Kuhne and Kram-ka. Head coach "Chub" Reynolds said, "Bahr's been a very consis-tent and versatile performer who seldom makes a defensive mis-take. He has an even tempera-ment and I've been impressed with his coachability." Bahr said, "I respect 'Chub' a lot, he's very optimistic about each person. Fie's one of the main reasons I've come back." So, in future games this sea-son, offenders of opposing teams will be looking at number 74 in the Bethel big "D" line and can expect a "Bahr hug" from the smiling "teddy bear".

Nancy Naumenko production editor Juan Ramos cartoonist Letters to the editor should be sent Suzi Wells copy editor Arlan Swanson business manager to p.o. 91 by the Sunday before publication THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53 No. 3 September 30, 1977 New commuter R.A. efforts succeed as two-way street by Phoebe Morgan It may be true that "no man is an island" for the in-resident Bethel student, but for the com-muter it's more like, "Help! I'm lost and alone in a world full of aliens." The problem of commu-ter segregation came to a head last February. Dean Marilyn Starr and Dean "Wink" Menser arranged a com-muter's breakfast, hoping to get better acquainted with students living at home. Of the 120 com-muters invited, 18 responded, indicating the serious gap. "We discovered commuting students had the tendency to involve themselves only in class," recalled Dean Starr, "maintain-ing their social life at home." In an attempt to solve this problem, the commuter assistant program was born. Steve Farquharson and Denise Hansen, commuters themselves, function, in a sense, as adjustable R.A.'s. Because of geographical limitations, Steve and Denise can't easily involve commuting students so they're concentrating on building "belongingness" through special activities. "We want them to have a feeling of homebase," explained Denise. Welcome Week this year prov-ed an excellent beginning for them, as 45 freshmen commuters lived on campus making new friends in the townhouses and the dorm. A commuter dessert at the end of the week's festivities attracted 60 of the 80 new corn-muters, providing further oppor-tunity for mingling. Weekly Bible studies are now in order led by Steve, Denise, and eventually the students them-selves. Another current project is car-pooling. A large map hangs in the C.A.'s office, alias the ticket booth, in the P.E. building. The names and addresses of motoring freshmen and transfers are mark-ed and available for referral. If interested, the office is open Mon., Wed., and Fri. from 1:10 to 2:30 p.m.; Tues. and Thur. from 11:00 a.m. to noon. A commuter's handbook, ex-plaining the "whos" and "whats" of Bethel will be available in a few weeks in addition to a weekly publication, stuffed in P.O.s, forecasting up-and-coming events. "Our biggest problem," con-tinued Steve, "is lack of contact. The success of the program de-pends on the commuters. We really want to work with them but need their feedback in order to keep things rolling. We're more than open for suggestions." Dean Staff hopes that the new program will raise the awareness of in-resident students as well. "We'd like to see some more effort on the kid's part. Our goal is that students would reach out to the point that the cnly commu-ting thing about commuters is that they live at home." Regents pose options for Old Campus sale by Denise Hansen Questions about the sale of old campus have been murmuring through crowds of Bethelites for some time now. The issue was once again brought up at the Board of Regents meeting held two weeks ago in Vancouver. Information on the meeting gathered from Burt Wessman, vice-president of business affairs, confirmed that no decisions were made about old campus. How-ever, three possibilities are in the forefront, while constant tours through old campus to possible prospects is a common occurence in the background. The minimum price for the campus, set one year ago, has not been offered by any of the sale prospects. The corporation (no name given) whose offer was rejected last year has since made a higher offer. The new offer still is below the minimum price asked. If sold to this corporation, old campus area would become space for federal subsidy hous-ing. The second possibility is not in the form of an offer yet. As it stands, it is a possibility of an offer from the government to create the Hubert Humphrey Job Core Training Center. However the use and outcome of the area is still uncertain. Adding feedback and concern-ed about who the occupants of the area will be are the Community Citizens Committee. This com-mittee is composed mainly of citizens from the old campus community. The third option, suggested by President Lundquist at the meet-ing in Vancouver, is that if old campus is not sold within the next few months, President Lundquist will appoint a task force to study how we could better use the cam-pus. Wessman explained that the sale of old campus is not the only concern of those involved. If old campus is sold, housing must be found by those students already living there. Wessman continued that draw-ings are prepared for dorms on new campus but a permit cannot yet be obtained. "Until the law suit between Northwestern Col-lege and the Village of Arden Hills is settled, our hands are tied as far as getting a building per-mit," said Wessman. The outcome of the situation cannot even be predicted at this time. Someone else passes up old campus. On the inside... Caravan returns from.

Stealing at this institution has been going up as fast as the national crime rate. Of course, that is an unofficial statistic, but with more people on campus, one would expect more crime. If we were to ask enough people, we would soon find out that most of us have at some time or another succumbed to the light fingers of an amateur thief, be it a simple pencil or a $100 calculator. Personally, I have been ripped off three times, two of which have occurred in the men's locker room. The last time was just last week, at which time I made the unfortunate mistake of leaving my wallet in an unbolted locker. Perhaps you are thinking that I was really dumb to leave any valuables in an unbolted locker. I will admit that it was a very careless move. Normally I would have left my wallet in my car. But this being the first gym activity that I would participate in for the present school year, it slipped my mind to leave my wallet in my car. Upon discovering that I had brought my ill-fortuned wallet into the locker room, I proceeded in hiding it the best I could in order to frustrate any would-be thief. I actually took the pains of folding it neatly inside an empty clothes bag and then put that in my gym bag. Then I placed the gym bag in the bottom of the locker and walked up to the gym, thinking my wallet was safe inside the neatly folded cloth-es bag. Much to my dismay, I returned to fir .1 the clothes bag ruffled and the wallet lying outside of it without the appearance of any of its former articles. Ripped off again! I could tell he was a Christian thief—he left my wallet. I guess he knew what it was like to be ripped off and having to get all new I.D.'s. The other time that I was ripped off in the locker room, the thief took my wallet and everything in it, but he was nice enough to return the wallet to my p.o. sans money. This editorial may seem to be a personal vendetta against all those who have stolen or have even thought of stealing the personal belong-ings of someone else. You may think that this editorial was written in a moment of anger and frustration and really has no purpose on this page. In some ways you are right. I am ticked, since this is my third experience with thieves. But I believe my side of the story deserves some mention, being that others who attend this institution have undergone similar misfortunes. It is particularly bothersome when I, a college student who cannot afford to get ripped off, gets all of his money stolen. It seems funny, and rather odd, that a college can call itself Christian when students have to go around with lock and key on all their personal belongings so they do not get ripped off. A Christian community should be a place where people should not have to con-cern themselves with the problem that the outside world has with stealing. They should be able to leave their clothes in an unbolted locker. They should be able to leave their calculators by their books in the library. They should be able to leave food in a dormitory refrigerator without worrying about the amount that will be left for tomorrow's meal. But such is not the case. Some of you will think that stealing is not part of the Christian vocabulary. It must be outsiders, you say. I will grant outsiders some of the blame for this problem on our campus, but I cannot leave a major portion of it in their hands. I am relegated to the thought that it is Bethel students who do the stealing, and it will take a very strong argument and even better proof to persuade me to think in any other terms. It should be mentioned at this point that great steps have been taken to bolster campus security in the past few years. An article in this week's issue mentions just a few of the things being done about the security problems. Vandalism in the parking lots has decreased dramatically and security around the campus in general has improved greatly. Unfortunately this does little to combat the small, amateur thief who can do his stealing during regular school hours in the presence of other students. Nevertheless, we appreciate the efforts of Glen Hayne and Jim Walcott to improve the security of this campus. An article in last year's Clarion (April 22, 1977) quoted Mack Nettleton, director of student affairs, as saying, "The point is we always need to be careful about our possessions. We have to take care of our own things because no amount of added security can compen-sate for leaving things lying around or in an open locker." I guess I will just have to relegate myself to this opinion. No matter where I am, at a Christian college or a secular university, I will have to keep all of my possessions under lock and key. It is a sad state of affairs, to say the least. But if you cannot trust Christians, who can you trust? Dear Editor: In response to the Clarion articles concerning the Passages magazine, we the Student Corn-munications Board would like to explain our position on the year-book at Bethel, and the future possibilities surrounding it. Last year was the first year for Passages and consequently was somewhat of a trial run. Essen-tially, the Spire was eliminated and replaced by Passages and an enlarged roster because of lack of student interest in working on the yearbook, and a disastrous ex-perience surrounding the 1976 Spire which was finally delivered last spring. We are not opposed to a year-book persay. A yearbook can be both a great learning experience for those who produce it and a treasure to those for whom it is produced. However, when ex-tremely high printing costs are coupled with a limited budget, yearbook possibilities become more restrictive. But a more visible problem is the shortage of students willing to work together to produce a year-book. Without talented persons who are qualified enough to put together a Spire, little can be done to magically create a year- 1978-79, if we can enlist a quali-book. fied editor, and restructure the Although Passages 1977 is a operation of the Spire staff.

Security is a safe campus The highway 51 entrance will be closed to all northbound traffic sometime this fall. by Jim Wiegner The new Bethel College cam-pus security offers strong protec-tion for students and their posses-sions. Bethel's security is around-the-clock. There are now three full-time and four part-time security guards. The guards patrol park-ing lots, townhouses, college buildings and monitor incoming cars at night. James Walcott, Bethel's new security coordinator, stated, "In-creased security is a precaution to avoid vandalism." Mr. Walcott's employees include a night secur-tiy guard, guardhouse personnel and around-the-clock parking lot crew. Mr. Walcott strongly urges Bethel students to lock and check their townhouses and car doors daily. If some vandalism has occurred call the Arden Hills police at 484-8802, then call the Bethel security at 641-6232. If you have any problems with strange people on campus call the campus security. Bethel's security works in coop-eration with the Arden Hills police. The police patrol the campus daily. Highwaq 51 crossing condemned, closed to all northbound traffic by Paul Varberg Many Bethel students will have to change their route to school sometime this fall. The highway department will be closing the crossing over the median on Highway 51 to Bethel Drive. Only cars coming south on Highway 51 will be able to enter Bethel Drive. The change is being made for safety reasons. The Minnesota Highway Department, Arden Hills Village Council and the police as well as Bethel College have requested the change. In fact, Bethel administrators have been requesting the closing ever since 1971. A traffic count was conducted during the peak hour of traffic, 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., by the Minnesota Highway Department. During this hour 1268 vehicles traveled south on Highway 51, while 106 vehicles crossed the road in front of them. This averages to a car every 56 seconds trying to cross Highway 51, where a vehicle is passing every three seconds. This heavy traffic along with the lack of visi-bility caused by the hill resulted it six accidents already this year. This change will force students driving north on Highway 51 to take either the County Road E exit or Old Snelling to get to school. A test made by the Superin-tendent of Buildings and Grounds, Glen Hayne, showed the distance to school by taking Old Snelling to be the same as the distance by taking Bethel Drive. Ironically, however, there have been 12 acci-dents at the Old Snelling exit this year, seven involved personal injuries, in comparison to the six, with no injuries, at the Bethel Drive exit. The safest route would be to exit on County Road E and take it to Old Snelling. Hayne's test showed this route to be only a half mile longer than the other routes. By taking an average mpg of 15 and 60 cents per gallon, it cost students four cents more per day or 20 cents more per week to take the safest route. Because most college traffic WASHINGTON, D.C. (OCNS)—Getting a "Christian eye's view" of what makes the government tick are Bethel Col-lege students who are among 23 students from 11 Christian col-leges participating this fall in the American Studies Program here. They are: Doug Magnuson, a junior majoring in linguistics and political science, James Chal-mers, a junior majoring in politi-cal science, Christine Anderson, a junior majoring in public rela-tions, Sue Lundquist, a junior majoring in communications, Steve Vodonik, a senior majoring in political science, and Tim De- Vries, a senior majoring in politi-cal science. The purpose of the program, now in its second year and sponsored by the Christian Col-lege Consortium based here, is to help students "discover how their faith in Christ can be expressed in, and is relevant to all voca-tions," according to Consortium President Gordon Werkema. They do this through a variety of pre-vocational work experien-ces in places such as offices of will then come through Bethel's main entrance, off Old Snelling, some of the present security procedures will be changed. At night the Bethel Drive entrance will be closed and the guard house moved closer to Old Snell-ing, in order for the guard to check the cars entering there. representatives and senators on Capitol Hill, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Smithsonian Institution, and else-where in Washington. Three sem-inars a week are the other main thrust of the American Studies Program's work-study extension of the students' overall college education. The Bethel College students spend about 20 hours a week working in offices located in the Washington, D.C. area. Doug is working in the office of the Peace Corps; James is also working for the Peace Corps; Christine is working in the office of Inter-national Media Services; Sue is working for the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs; Steve is working in the office of Rep. Charles Whelan (Ohio) and Tim is working in the office of Senator Wendell Anderson (Minn.). The seminars, held during the afternoons, are led by knowledge-able officials in a variety of fields in both government and the cultural world. Director of the program is Dr. John Bernbaum, himself a gra-duate of a Christian college—Cal-vin College, Grand Rapids, Mich.—who previously worked for the Department of State. In addition to arranging for the work-study experiences of each of the students, Dr. Bernbaum also seeks to help the students "grow spiritually" while they are here, which he says is also an important goal of the program. The students are given an opportunity to become acquainted with the "spiritual life" here by visiting various significant church and para-church organizations in the Washington metropolitan ar-ea. The American Studies Program began Sept. 7 and continues through the current academic year, with participating students earning 3.5 semester credits per month toward graduation. Most students stay here for three or four months. The program is open primarily to juniors and seniors. Persons interested in enrolling should contact the academic dean's office on campus for further information and applica-tion forms. Established in 1971, the Chris-tian College Consortium (com-prised of 14 evangelical colleges and universities throughout the nation) is dedicated to the "pro-motion, development and articu-lation of the unique contributions that dynamic Christian higher education can make to contempo-rary society," Dr. Werkema said.

Approximately 200 students participated in the ten different projects organized by the Service Day committee. The day started out with donuts and coffee in the gym followed by a message by Dr. Rees. After the message the students were divided into the various groups for which they had volunteered. Some worked half a day and others worked the whole day. I thank Jim Torgerson and other members on the organizing committee for their hard work. I especially thank all of you students who volunteered and gave some of your time to do a job for the community. Everyone who enjoyed the work they did should look into the social ministries program that Christian Service has just implemented. It would be a valuable way to contribute your time helping other people. Tannie Woods and I attended the Board of Regents meeting at Vancouver Bible College in British Columbia on September 15-16. Three main decisions concerning Bethel College were made during the meeting. First, the proposed annex to the LRC building was approved by the Board. Dr. Brushabaer said that hopefully the building permit can be acquired by the end of October. If the permit is approved work can be started the middle of November. Second, the Board of Regents authorized the processing and sale of old campus if there is an offer that matches or exceeds the minimum amount that they set. It is important to note that no offers large enough have been made so far, but we are hopeful that one will be made. Finally, Bethel has been instructed to amend its application for building permits for dormitories at new campus from two dorms to five dorms. Bethel must also proceed to secure the financing required to construct and make operational these new dorms. Again it should be noted that the extra three dorms will not be built unless old campus is sold. Each of the Student Senate internal committees are hard at work on their projects. The rules-finance committee did a fine job of handling freshman elections this week. The number of people running for freshman senator positions were the most we have ever had running. I thank the freshmen for their interest and encourage those not elected to get involved in some other way. Special projects committee handles most of the business dealing with on-campus items. Currently they are investigating putting buzzers into the Fountain Terrace apartments so that non-residents of the apartments can contact those people inside. The Public Action committee is starting three projects. First the bowl of rice program has begun again. Money obtained from it goes to support Hatian orphans. Second, they are helping Christian Ser-vice locate students interested in working at the Courage Center in an "adopted grandparents" program. Finally, they are going to start raising money for a missionary couple who are going to the Phili-pines in October. I would like to express my appreciation to all of those students who applied for student-faculty committees. It is good to see so many students who are interested in assisting with the administration and policy making of the school. Your input will prove to be valuable. Carl Gerbrandt, baritone, will perform in chapel on Tuesday. Renowned opera baritone comes to Bethel Tuesdaq training took him to Peabody Conservatory of Music. He was quickly engaged in numerous recital appearances as well as opera and concert per-formances with the National Sym-phony, Baltimore Opera Com-pany, Washington Civic Opera Company, and Hartford Opera Association. He has also toured with the Eastern Opera Theatre. Gerbrandt recently returned from Europe after concentrated study with several of Germany's lead-ing vocal and operatic coaches. Acclaim has followed Ger-brandt as he continues to make his mark not only on the opera stage, but also in oratorio, con-cert, and recital appearances. He has toured extensively in Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Canada, and throughout the United States. Mr. Gerbrandt is associated with the Peabody Conservatory as a member of the voice faculty and instructor of acting. by Holly Schmiess Operatic baritone Carl Ger-brandt will bring both his per-formance and coaching prowess to Bethel on Tuesday, Oct. 4. In the morning convocation, Mr. Gerbrandt will sing German lieder, contemproary English poem settings, and a set of Ravel chansons. The music faculty will have lunch with the guest artist at 12:10 p.m. A master class from 3:40 to 4:30 p.m. will allow Bethel music students to benefit from Mr. Ger-brandt's teaching. He will ana-lyze the literature, style, and per-formance techniques of several vocal soloists, coach the students, and inform the audience as well. Carl Gerbrandt received his early music training in California and Kansas. He taught voice performance and directed opera for several years before begin-ning a personal concert career. The pursuit of further vocal Bethel student reflects on Thai summer by Terry Rosell Three thirty-five a.m. Time to get out from underneath the mos-quito netting (which, by the way, apparently had not been designed to keep out ants). We didn't usually get up so early, but the taxi (called "songteo") left the Thai village below at 7:15 a.m. and the village was a good three-hour walk down the moun-tain. Walking in the dark, it would take us even longer.. By the light of a single kerosene flame, I quickly found and slipped on the old pair of trousers that I'd rinsed out in the stream the night before and had hung on a bamboo pole to dry. I had bathed at the same time, and the water felt indescribably wonderful after spending three days and two nights in the same crusty clothes, with no opportun-ity to bathe. In 15 minutes we were ready; and with five Meo, and two small flashlights accompanying us, we left the little village perched on a hillside in the middle of the jungle. "We walk by faith, not by sight..." "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path..." "Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand. I am tired, I am weak, I am worn. Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light..." As we slipped and stumbled our way through the dark jungle, many scripture passages and parts of old hymns that seemed to describe my present situation came to mind. I decided that living a Christian life must indeed be quite like walking in a dark and muddy jungle path, and I thought of many parallels between the two concepts. It kept my mind busy as my feet struggled to stay on the trail. I also continued to remind the Lord that this would certainly be a ridiculous time to fall and break a leg... My text was from I Thesssa- Ionians 5 .,24—"Faithful is He who calls you, Who will also bring it to pass." But first I took out my guitar and harmonica, and I played and sang a couple of verses of "Amazing Grace." Almost everybody knew that song. The Meo had their own translation, of course: "Koj txo-kev hlub kuv zoo siab kawg, txawj pab tibneeg sawvdaws..." Leona interpreted for me while I told the white Meo congrega-tion that I believed God calls us to at least three things, and these He has or will bring to pass in our lives if we will trust Him to do so. (1) God calls us to accept His free gift of salvation. (2) God calls us to live daily for Him. (3) God will someday call us to be with Him forever. After the service, a middle-aged Meo lady came up and thanked me (through Leona) for continued on page 6 Page 4 Professor Oliver Mogck leads the Male Corus in practice session.

There will be a lot going on. 1) We want you to pick a campus host and hostess to represent the school, so you might be thinking about who you would like to nominate. 2) We would like to build one or two floats for the home game, so if you have ever worked on one or have any ideas on how we can best accomplish this, we would appreciate you stopping in. 3) Also, on your calendar you'll want to take special note of the days of Spirit Week and the designated attire for each day. 4) Friday night brings our traditional carnival! Anyone wanting to set up a booth is welcomed to do so. Please stop in at the CC office for an application and instruction sheet. 5) Last, but not least, we are topping off the week with a supper con-cert Saturday evening featuring Tom Netherton & The Sixth Day. People from outside our school have been asking for tickets for several weeks now. We will limit ticket sales to Bethel students starting Monday, Oct. 3 until the 7th, so please don't wait until it's too late. After the 7th, ticket sales will go public...if there's anything left! Cynthia and Scott Closed minds Open mouths by David Shelley The Clarion's first issue this year included an editorial policy statement with which I find agreement. However, the student newspaper has been both the vehicle and the recipient of past criticism, and for this reason it seems warranted to further clarify and define the role of the paper. Informing is the first duty of a newspaper, and the purpose of a news story is objective reporting of current facts. Objective reporting means there is no expression of the writer's opinion. It also involves reporting all sides of a story. A feature story is different in that its content is more often of human interest. It may be less objective and may focus on a person or place rather than an event. Like a news story, its purpose is not to crticize, but it seeks to draw interest. Controversy arises most naturally over the editorials. An editorial is written to express the viewpoint of the newspaper and is not attributed to any individual. Editorials may inform, praise or criticize. Informative editorials may attempt to explain a problem so that the reader may understand the issues involved. Some editorials intend to praise or encourage achievements or actions. Most common is the critical editorial in which (if it is well-written) a problem is defined, a solution is offered and suggestions for appropriate action are made. Its goal is innovation, not cynicism. Often because a paper concentrates on a problem it is accused of being negative and vindictive. It seems, though, that most frequently those who feel it is negative are those about whom something negative has been written. Hopefully, the paper is attacking a problem and not a person. And in both research and editorials there is a fine line between hounding and seeking truth. Amazing as it may seem, some people don't even know what a letter to the editor is. Its purpose is solely to allow the paper's readers to express their own views to the public. Columns are articles that appear regularly in the paper with the same writer each time. Some columnists are assigned to write about the same general area all the time while others are free to cover any subject. This is a column. I am the only one to write it, and I am free to be as boring or obnoxious (within reason) as .1 wish, until I lose my job. Reviews are essays giving critical evaluations of books, films and performances. Beyond these categories college newspapers may include articles of fiction or humor. The newspapers's purpose, then, is to inform, criticize and entertain. Hopefully, when the newspaper is representing a Christian community these ends will be sought in a spirit of Christian dedication and love. for upcoming season 200 people for college choir, 70 of which were sopranos. He stressed the fact that they didn't lack talent but that there simply was not enough room to place every-one. There is no Chapel Choir this year and to help take its place, the music department may consider starting another women's choir to include the many who have shown interest in singing. Professor Rainbow's "Colorful Caravan" Show exhausting as emotions explode by Suzi Wells "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" (Prov. 17:12) was the theme of Dr. Don Rainbow's, "Colorful Caravan." "Caravan" is a group of Bethel "vagabonds" who performed for military bases this summer in Europe. "Caravan," actually a product of Dr. Rainbow's imagination, includes seven multi-talented Be-thel students and Dr. Rainbow himself. The group has spent the past four summers spreading the message of God through song, dance, acting and testimonies. The purpose of this unique act is to share God's message in a positive way that people will en-joy and respond to. It is patterned after the turn-of-the-century med-icine wagon shows, and Dr. Rain-bow performs as the medicine man. "I thought I would recreate the spirit of vagabonds and tromp throughout the West," Dr. Rain-bow explained about his idea for the show. The first two years of "Caravan" were spent touring the west coast, and the last two have been in Europe. The show includes songs from the turn of the century, but also features many contemporary Broadway tunes. After the au-dience experiences the many parts of the show, it concludes with testimonies of the perform-ers. Dr. Rainbow created "Cara-van" in order to spread the gospel in a fresh new way through theater. He said that he wanted for the members of "Caravan" to give expression to their faith in theater. Playing off the name "Rain-bow," as a symbol of God's promise, the group also tries to share God's. promises through many talents. "The rainbow will always remain a sign of God's promise," Dr. Rainbow pointed out. Besides being a way to spread God's promises to others, "Cara-van" was a growing experience for its members, who included Sue Greene, Carol Anderson, Mary Frances Fiess, Martha Le-ander, Duane Glader, Juan Ra-mos and Jeff Miller. Explaining his reasons for audi-tioning for "Caravan," Juan Ra-mos said that it presented a challenge for him, and he liked challenges. "It was a big step of faith," Juan said. "Half of those who auditioned were either music or theater majors, and I felt a little intimidated." At that time, Juan was an art major. Now he is a theater major. "Caravan" auditions tested Juan's dependency on God, since he was required to sing with piano accompaniment, and he had never played piano and did not have an accompaniest. He had four days to prepare for his second audition, and in those four days he found a pianist, recorded this accompaniment, practiced singing and brushed up on his flamenco dancing. "Afterwards, I didn't care if I made it or not," Juan remem-bered. "It was the most fun experience of my life. I did all the call backs asked for. It showed how much a person can do if you put your trust in God. "I'm just not the same person I was before auditions," Juan con-by Will Healy "Why, he does it for a multi-tude of reasons, all of them quite simple and straightforward if you pay attention to the play. People try to read too much into it." So warned Robert Shaw, author of "The Man in the Glass Booth," concerning the play's central character. Yet this by now trite exhortation to refrain from too zealously plumbing the depths of a literary work is preposterous. (Where would Jim Anderson be without literary overkill?) The play, based roughly on the trial of Adolph Eichman, revolves around Goldman, a wealthy real estate tycoon accused of Nazi war crimes. While the first act is devoted to the establishment of Goldman's character, the second act explodes in an ascending assault of poignant emotions. Portrayed brilliantly by Gary Moody, Goldman emerges as a highly complex antagonist whose motives are baffling. The play's rapid pace leaves the viewer with the arduous task of sorting out and interpreting these motives. On a general level the play pro-poses a number of questions and tinued, "and I credit that all to the Lord." Like Juan, Martha Leander, as a Bible and psychology major, found "Caravan" to be a totally new experience. "It's really changed my life," she said. "Those five weeks were such a growing experience. I think the Lord really had things to teach me." Martha said that ever since she saw "Caravan" perform at Wel-come Week her first year at Bethel, she made it her ambition to be part of the group. "I knew it would be good professionally," she said. For Martha, the highlight of the tour was meeting people. The group would stay at homes of people they did not know, but they all shared a unity in Christ. Many of the people they perform-ed for were Christians, and "Caravan" seemed to put a spark into their lives as they saw God's message shown from a different perspective. Yet there were those the group performed for who were not Christians. "It was good for me to see Army life," Martha related. "I saw the emptiness in their lives, and being at Bethel, I don't see that." She also said that this was a good experience for her to be able to bring some joy into these people's lives who seemed to have so little. "The positive aspect of 'Cara-van' is a real asset to our witness," Martha said. "The medicine wagon is compared to one splash of color in a drab world." The "Caravan" was like a bright splash in the world of Army green. possible explanations concerning Nazism. In a powerful courtroom monologue Goldman attempts to explain the feeling on the part of the German people toward their beloved fuhrer. The question aris-es as to where the guilt for such atrocities should be placed. While Goldman's point is that the guilt is universal, the fact that the trial takes place in an Israeli court heightens the conflict all the more. On the individual level, we are left with Goldman and we have no The Minnesota Education As-sociation (MEA) today com-menced a lawsuit against the state of Minnesota, charging unfair labor practices and possi-ble violations of the U.S. and state constitutions. The precedent-setting suit re-sults from actions by the last tow legislatures in denying and a-mending arbitration awards is-sued as culminations of negotia-tions between the state and the Minnesota Community College Faculty Association (MCCFA), an MEA affiliate of nearly 1,000 faculty in the state's 18 public two-year colleges. The more-than-46,000-member MEA points out that the 1975 and 1976 sessions of the legislature denied cost-of-living increases a-warded by a three-member ar-bitration panel in 1975, and that the 1977 session reduced salaries awarded by another three-mem-ber arbitration panel. The MEA contends that, by so doing, the legislature. continued from page 4 the reminder that she would someday—after the third "call" —again see her husband and son in Heaven. The one had died two years ago, the other just six months ago. Another lady stopped to talk also. She was an old granny, but her wrinkled little face lit up like the sunshine. She told of her love for the Lord, and then said, (in Meo), "Go back to America and study for a couple more months, but then come back to Thailand and teach us..." I longed to say something, or to simply reach out and squeeze her gnarled hand, but I just smiled. Somehow, I think she understood. The Lord called me to spend my summer working with a mission-ary (of the Overseas Missionary Fellowship) among the white Meo in North Thailand. He called, and He brought it all to pass.

Speech coach optimistic for current year by Mary Smith The year looks great for Beth-el's speech department—both in debate and individual speech competition! Coach David Lee is optimistic about the coming sea-son. Debate tournaments will be held at least once a week or more at various places in the midwest. The topic of debate is the resolu-tion: that U.S. law enforcement agencies should be given signifi-cantly greater freedom in the investigation and/or prosecution of felony crime. The first debate was from Sept. 23 to 25 at Western Illinois Uni-versity in Macomb. Bethel made it to finals, and was the only team from Minnesota to make the top 16 teams, in which they ranked 10th. Twelve to 13 different states were represented in the debate. continued on page 7 Caravan spreads Gospel MEA charges state with constitutional violations Page 6 Dale Johnson inspects one of his drawings from "Unwel-corned Innocence."

West County Road E at Snelling Across from Flaherty 's Bowl. new soccer coach by Steve Erickson An art major, who served as co-editor of last year's Passages, has returned to Bethel this year to pursue one of his other interests, soccer. Last year, Bethel soccer team graduated only one letterman, Peter Genheimer. This year he's back, but serving a different role, that of soccer coach. After contributing to Bethel's successful season, Peter applied last December for the coaching position vacated by Steve Voth. Although a full-time faculty mem-ber was preferred, Peter was hired. He also helps teach the team sports class for physical education concentrators. He was born and raised in South Africa where his parents serve as missionaries. Though soccer is popular there, his high school did not field a team until his junior year. Instead Peter played the country's favorite sport, rugby, and also some unor-ganized soccer. In 1970 he entered Bethel. For his first two years, he participated on the soccer club, which became a varsity sport in 1973. Peter traveled back to South Africa after his sophomore year where he worked as a printer and accountant before deciding to return to Bethel. When he returned to school, he seriously injured his knee in a game. He worked to strengthen the knee, but it hasn't been the same since. Although Peter graduated an art major, he's interested in mis-sion work. Even if he does not become a missionary, he still hopes to live overseas. He may enter Bethel Seminary next year. As a coach, Peter likes to employ a short passing game. This means passes are kept on the ground for maximum control. As for predicitions, he states, "This should be the most success-ful season that the Bethel soccer team has had to date." He thinks this team has potential to be MIAC champions. "It's just a matter of settling down and play-ing our game." Having almost all of last year's talent back plus a good crop of newcomers should make matters much easier for the first-year coach. by Terri Hanson Sept. 8 marked the opening of Dale Johnson's art show, "Un-welcomed Innocence." The show consisted of a collections of drawing and lithographs portray-ing children. Children, according to Mr. Johnson, are not "cute little darlings," but rather whole hu-man beings with spontaneous joys, fears, and sorrows. He essentially sees all mankind as children. Although adults may wear masks to hide their emotions, eventually their attitudes and actions reveal them in much the same way as children. Many of Dale Johnson's draw-ings are of people he knows. However, he wishes to move the image away from the portrait to a more universal image and portray the joy and sorrow of the average human being. For Dale Johnson, an art show consisting of drawings about chil-dren is a relatively new innova-tion. For the past seven years he has been working on landscapes and abstractions. (Some exam-ples of these may be seen in the music lounge and the chemistry department.) Not until last year when he went to Europe with the Bethel college choir did Mr. Johnson begin • to take an interest in drawing people.

He is seeking to use the materials in a new and fresh way and says he is "learning a lot." Dale Johnson began drawing as a small child while sitting in church. Every Sunday his mother would hand him a pencil and a piece of paper to keep him quiet. His interest in drawing, howev-er, became more than a "quiet pastime" and in 1969 he graduat-ed from Michigan State Universi-ty. While attending school, Mr. Johnson worked at an advertising agency doing creative designing. Even since his graduation he has been teaching here at Bethel. "Unwelcome Innocence" showed until Sept. 29. It was definitely worth seeing because study of the drawings and litho-graphs revealed personal emo-tions, attitudes and ideals in the unwelcomed innocence of a child. Odegard, Todd Benson, and Jim Hall rounded out the top seven. Coach Glen Glader is optimistic about this year's team. "The guys are a dedicated group of young men. They get up at 6:30 a.m. three times a week to run and also in the afternoons, total-ing between 70 and 80 miles a week." Tomorrow the team will com-pete in an invitational at Winona at noon.

The season will end on Dec. 10 at the University of Wisconsin in White-water. The contests will require three to ten debates, each averag-ing about 90 minutes. Lee feels that he has excellent people to work with this fall, with various degrees of experience. "I try to have people at several levels," Lee states. His main objective is to set individual goals for each participant. Lee feels there will be dramatic improve-ment in each one. This year 40 people are partici-pating in the two departments, 20 in debate, 20 in individual speak-ing. For the past three years, the debate team has consisted of eight to ten people. The size has more than doubled from last year. Like many sports, debate is a co-curricular activity. Students taking part receive no credit and have regular seasons, many prac-tice sessions and travel to many schools. The individual speeches, such as oral interpretation, rhetorical criticism, persuasion and extem-poraneous, are open to anyone, not just the members of the team. Any individual entering may ob-tain information at brief weekly meetings at 3:40 p.m. in LRC 301 on Tuesdays. Harriers place to second in triangular meet by Sari Winans A triangular meet at St. Olaf last Friday opened the season for the women's cross country team. St. Olaf, the state's strongest team, took first place, Bethel took second, and Augsburg took last place. Bethel's strategy involved each runner picking out a contestant from St. Olaf that she could stick with. The purpose of each girl was to use the meet to cut down time and gain experience. The cross country season is divided into three sections. The first two weeks are spent building endurance. Concentration on hard practice is the aim of the next four weeks. Meets encountered during this period are not used to score records but do gain experience. The girls at this point aren't yet in top condition and are still build-ing strength. For the remainder of the season just before going to state compe-tition, the practices become eas-ier and their goal is to "peak" or to do their best at these last races. Tomorrow, the women will be traveling to the Macalester Invi-tationals at Lake Nokomis in Min-neapolis. Twelve teams will be participating. Coach Shirley Daw-son said, "We will be looking for better times and learning to run a strategic race." Genheimer back in coaching role Art portrays unique view Page 7 Frank Bahr, winner of the "teddy bear of the year" award. Award winning Bahr relates experience St. Thomas subdues kickers by G.W. Smith The Bethel soccer team receiv-ed their first loss of the season last Saturday from a very skilled St. Thomas team by a score of 3-1. Bethel entered the first half hustling and forced the stronger St. Thomas to work particularly hard in establishing a scoring threat. Yet the polished St. Thomas team showed excellent ball con-trol and scored within the first 15 minutes of play. St. Thomas displayed good teamwork against Bethel in the remainder of the first half and had the Royals scampering to form an organized attack. The half ended with St. Thomas leading, 1-0. In the second half Bethel opened with a quick retaliatory goal by Doug Hage on an assist by Milt Anderson, making the score 1-1. The Royals began to rally and work together with a new enthu-siasm and fought the St. Thomas by Carol Madison Bethel's volleyball team lost their match to St. Catherine's on the 22 in three straight games, but the outcome of the match doesn't really reflect the play involved. St. Kate's was a much more balanced team overall, with all of their players returning from last year's nationally ranked team. "I can't say I came away dis-appointed," said Coach Karyl Frye. She felt that Bethel actually played better and has improved in many areas since last year. The team seemed to have better team-work and improved fundamen-tals. Bethel played a defensive game most of the night, but some good rallies and spikes highlighted the offense. The basic problem came in the area of blocking. Not enough spikes were blocked, so the back row had more than they could handle, which in turn meant there wasn't enough chance to set. "Our back row got quite a few spikes that would have hit the floor last year," explained the coach, "but we had trouble directing our hits." The serving was also rather inconsistant. Coach Frye basically concentra-ted on trying different combina-tions and varieties to find out who works together the best. She used eight players, all seeing action in numerous offensive positions. team until 20 minutes later when St. Thomas scored their second goal. The St. Thomas goal dampened Bethel's drive and ten minutes later St. Thomas scored once again to make it a 3-1 ball game. In the last few minutes of the game St. Thomas showed good hustle and Bethel failed to amass another score before the final whistle. "They were good," said Coach Peter Genheimer concerning St. Thomas. "We didn't play as good as we could have and they played pretty well." Dickie Voth returned to the starting line-up for Bethel and turned in a fine performance as did senior Ted Simmonds. Both Voth and Simmonds had been out of action because of injuries. Sophomore Jeff Beckman play-ed another good game at goalie, making several timely saves. Tomorrow Bethel faces St. John's at 10:00 a.m. in a home contest on the Bethel football field. Those who saw action through-out the night were Teri Visel, Joanne Watlov, JoAnn Griffen, Cindi Ramm, Cathy Duehn, Janet Reynolds, Sheryl Meyer and Jan-et Peterson. The junior varsity also lost their seasonal debut to St. Catherine's in two straight games. Freisen places second in meet by Dave Clapp Bethel's men's cross country team competed in its first home meet of the season last Saturday, a triangular against Northwestern of Minnesota and Concordia of St. Paul. Northwestern finished first with a score of 26 points, but not without a fight from Bethel who finished second with 29 points. Concordia came in third with 72 points. For the third week in a row, Bethel's lead runner was Brent Freisen, a freshman from Moun-tain Lake, Minn., who placed second in the meet with a time of 27:59. Bethel's second runner was the team's captain and only senior, Curt Brown, who placed third with a time of 28:16 (times continued on page 7 by Greg Kuntz Frank Bahr never thought of playing football past high school, but the 6'2", 255 lb. defensive tackle has been one of the number 9 rated Royal's premier linemen. Bahr, married this past spring, and a business major, said that he wasn't planning on coming back to Bethel this year. "I want to go into some aspect of sales and work with people. I started work-ing at New York Life and things were going well. I prayed a lot about it and things worked out that I could still work and play football. I'm really glad I made that decision," said Bahr. Bahr attended Armstrong High School in New Hope, Mn. where he made all-conference his senior year. He was voted all-state by coaches to play in the annual Shrine benefit Bowl at the U. of Minn. as part of the southern Minnesota high school all-stars. He has played football since sixth grade, except for one year in junior high when his school didn't have a football program. He went out for soccer instead. As a freshman in high school, Bahr returned to the football scene. "I went into high school hearing stories about how the upperclassmen use the freshmen and sophomores for 'dummies'," he said. Bahr's mother was an encour-agement. "She told me one day before practice not to give up and that I'd do fine," related Bahr, "so I stuck it out and things kept getting better." "That year I got the 'teddy bear of the year' award at the end of the season. My coach said I smiled too much," chuckled Bahr. The solid defensive lineman has always been on a winning team, and was actively recruited by 15 colleges and universities, besides receiving letters from over 100 others. "My pastor sent a letter to 'Chub' Reynolds at Bethel and he called me to come visit. I was here for three days and was more impressed with the academic quality and the football players than any other school I visited," explained Bahr. The husky young man came to Bethel as a freshman in 1974. "I'll never forget my first game as a freshman against Macales-ter. I hit Ron Groves and thought I'd hit a freight train," snickered Bahr. Bahr has never really been hurt, never missed a game, and has started in every one as either defensive tackle or defensive end. As a sophomore in 1975, Bahr received honorable mention in the old Tri-State Conference, of which Bethel is no longer a member. Bahr explained that experience has helped him develop immense-ly. As a junior, he started as an end quite frequently: "I played end because we needed more experience at that position. I enjoy playing tackle, though, because there's less responsibili-ties and more freedom to do what you want to there," laughed Bahr. "I also enjoyed my junior year by getting to know Doug Berg." Berg and Bahr both made all-conference as defensive tack-les in 1976. Bahr has looked forward to this season and said that the team is growing spiritual-ly and physically. "Football is a big part of the school curriculum and as Christ-ians we have the responsibility and challenge to be a witness in this area, too," Bahr pointed out. "Other teams have come into our locker room, even when we've beaten them soundly, and have commented on not only our abilities but on our attitude and unity as a team. In this way I feel there's no difference between the team and the rest of Bethel, even if we're watched more than other groups or considered the row-dies of the school." The Royals are a strong team with a lot of talent. "Our defense works well to-gether and helps me in my performance. It also helps to practice against our offensive line—guys like Kuhne and Kram-ka. Head coach "Chub" Reynolds said, "Bahr's been a very consis-tent and versatile performer who seldom makes a defensive mis-take. He has an even tempera-ment and I've been impressed with his coachability." Bahr said, "I respect 'Chub' a lot, he's very optimistic about each person. Fie's one of the main reasons I've come back." So, in future games this sea-son, offenders of opposing teams will be looking at number 74 in the Bethel big "D" line and can expect a "Bahr hug" from the smiling "teddy bear".
