Bethel's east lot has been the scene of frequent violations. SEP 2 3 1971 Erickson responds to increases by G.W. Smith Food prices have increased this year at Bethel College, yet with everything going up except the Twins and the stock market, it comes as no great surprise. In response to the basic question of why, Wayne Erick-son, co-director of food service, pointed out that overall costs for labor, supplies and utilities have increased considerably the past two years making necessary this year's increase. Labor costs alone are much more than they were two years ago with wages now varying from $2.30/hr. to $2.50/hr. Erickson also noted that in the past two years Bethel has not had to increase food prices to offset the concurrent rise in costs. In fact, last year the food service experienced a profit of about $18,000. Many would question the ethics of a student service accruing a profit. When asked about this Erickson replied, "Yes, we try to make a profit. We've never tried to hide that." He added that any of Bethel's auxiliary enterprises operate under the stipulation that a profit is to be attained. Although making a profit is an administrative stipulation, Erick-son noted that it is also a good business practice to accrue an excess rather than a deficit. He continued by saying that the profit collected by the food service is returned to the general account and used for an asundry of purposes including scholarship funds. Students have often com-plained that the profit accrued by the food service was totally at their expense. Not so, according to Erickson. The amount of profit from the student meal plan is less than five per cent. In addition to their many other functions, the Bethel food service also performs a considerable amount of outside catering. In this area the food service strictly aims for profit and returns all money earned to the college. Last year Bethel's catering services returned $50,000. The accounting process used by the food service is a detailed affair. Figures are computed daily, unlike the accounting system of any other school, according to Erickson. From these detailed records the food service is able to accurately evaluate their income and expen-ditures. With a knowledge of the fixed cost and overhead involved in running the food service, plus the detailed records used by the food service to evaluate income, Erickson is able to compute food prices. As a matter of note, this year's prices are up only a fraction over previous years. An expression board is provid-ed in the cafeteria upon which any complaints and/or suggestions may be aired. Signed notes will be answered, according to Erick-son especially if there is a worthy grievance. Erickson pointed out specifically that the food service will listen to any suggestions and would particularly appreciate some encouragement as well.

THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 2 September 23, 1977 - Steps taken to relieve congested parking lots by Denise Hansen Several steps have been taken this year to reduce Bethel's parking problem. The first step was to hire Jim Walcott as director of security and parking. Both Walcott and Glen Hayne, director of mainte-nance, agreed that one change this year is the consistency with which the parking situation will be handled. Complaints about parking are generally in three areas—not enough space for day parking, overnight parking, and the increase in parking tickets from $2 to $5. With the increase in students, the 600 parking spots have been bulging at the seams. To ease this bulge over 100 places have been added to the circle lot this year. This gravel lot added will be lined by Sept. 26, but is now open for parking. With the addition comes a change in the direction of parking in this lot. Parking is in a semi-circle gradually straighten-ing out to rows in the remainder of the lot. Explaining why this lot was not blacktopped, Hayne said, "We would have liked to blacktop it this year, but the soil will not be settled enough to blacktop till next year." As of now overnight parking is in the east lot from the fourth row back and in the east overflow lot. The situation is being reviewed and a report is due to Walcott within the next week. "If we then see there isn't enough parking we will designate more overnight parking space. We don't want to ticket someone for not having a place to park," Walcott said. Those already ticketed this year know that the ticket fines have increased. Hayne explained that a number of students would not respond to $2 tickets. Some would pay the $2 then go out and repeat the violation. Many students who don't think twice about paying $2 may think twice about paying $5. Hopefully this increase will reduce the number of parking violations. About this area Walcott said, "I don't enjoy ticketing cars, it's one of the hardest parts of my job." Hayne commented. "We want the parking program to be consistent, yet flexible and feasible." "We are willing to discuss the issuing of a ticket with any student," said Walcott. "It helps when the student comes to us with a good attitude." Any questions about a ticket should first be brought to Jim Walcott. In an effort to be consistent, the procedure of handling tickets has changed. Tickets are $5, after the first week they go up to $10. If by the third week there is no response, the matter goes to the business office where it is held against a students matriculation as is an old overdue library fine or bookstore bill. Money collected from tickets goes into the resurfacing and improving of parking conditions on campus. According to Walcott, the most common parking violations are the fire lane, delivery entrance, and parking outside the lines in the east lot. As compared with the $10 ticket. plus towing, charge that would be issued by Arden Hills police for parking in the fire lane, the $5 ticket is not high. We also often forget tne free car registra-tion we have that other schools don't have. "We want to make the parking as close to the school as possible," said Hayne. It's nice we don't have to walk several miles to get from the lot to the buildings. Both Walcott and Hayne agreed that the parking situation is getting better and are appreciative of that. Combine the efforts put out by Walcott and Hayne and our cooperation, parking conditions at Bethel will continue to improve. on the inside...

Bethel upperclassmen are no different, especially when they returned to school this year to find that most food prices had been increased by a nickel, making a total meal 10 to 15 cents more expensive than last year. The first question that arises is always, "Why did the prices go up?" Naturally the food service will point towards the major economic indicators, inflation being the most widely used criterion. They will also point to increased labor costs, supplies, utilities and the basic price of food. These problems are all covered in the front-page article on the rising food prices. But other factors must also be considered, mainly the profit figure reported by the food service. As reviewed in the above mentioned article, the food service made about an $18,000 profit last year. That figure is down from the over $40,000 profit during the 1975-1976 school year. These profits made from the food service are then put into the general fund, the catch-all phrase used by the administration for all left-over monies at the end of a fiscal year. Where this money goes once it gets into the general fund is yet another topic that can be left open for debate. An article in last week's issue about the new annex reported that the administration planned to use the profits from both the food service and bookstore to help pay for the annex. This we believe leaves a question open as to the proper ethics of such a move. Using profits gained from student services and placing them in a fund to be used for a building fund is not our idea of a properly run business. Building funds should not be collected from student services, but rather should be attached to something out in the open where students know that their money is being used for such an expressed use. The food service should be used for that expressed purpose—a service to the students, not a profit-producing business for the school. In order to do this, the administration would claim that tuition would have to be raised more than it normally is. This, in turn, would turn off prospective students who would normally come to Bethel if the tuition rates were not so high. We claim that it is better policy to place all charges under tuition rates rather than using student services to make a profit. A greater amount of special gifts and foundation grants could also be raised to offset this profit loss. We understand that this effort would take much time and money just to get it off the ground. But we believe it would be better policy to solicit more outside funds rather than soaking the pockets of students when they have already been soaked into a loan-producing situation. The food service, on the other hand, claims to be making less than a five per cent profit, a very minimal amount at best. But five per cent on $500 of food cards comes out to $25, or another food card. A very minimal amount to some, but possibly a week or two of food to a new campus resident. Granted, the administration is looking after our best interests in building the new annex to relieve the present crowded conditions. But to use the profits gained from student services aggravates a problem that already irritates anyone who steps into the cafeteria—the high price of food. Let student services remain what they were originally planned to be—a service to the students, not a profit-making business. Coordinators bring variety The Campus Coordinators went through some difficult times last year, receiving negative criticism from not only this newspaper, but also from students, faculty and administration alike. Student attitudes were so negative towards the coordinators that apathy reigned for many coordinator-sponsored activities. This year We are pleased to praise the fine work done thus far by this year's coordinators, Scott Barsuhn and Cynthia Green. Not only have they spent much time and effort to better the social life at Bethel, but they have extended an extra effort at getting the best and most enjoyable activities for the student body. The excellent Campus Coordinator activity featuring B.J. Thomas in concert was one example of their effort. Not only was Thomas an excellent performer, but the program ran very fluently with only minor problems. Even the doors were open relatively early to relieve the congestion outside the gymnasium. In previous years the doors would not be opened until 15 minutes after the concert was to begin, so as to cause undue discomfort to the waiting audience. We look forward to seeing their excellent work continued throughout the year and anticipate an improved social climate at Bethel with coordinator-sponsored activities. Our thanks to Scott and Cynthia for trying to make college life at Bethel a little more enjoyable.

Dr. Wolf shipped almost all of his possessions, including most of his clothing, from California to Bethel prior to his departure for Bethel. Although the shipment was to arrive by Sept. 2, Dr. Wolf is still living out of one suitcase and sleeping in his sleeping bag. He is hoping for the arrival of his clothes not too far into the distant future. If you've noted Dr. Wolf's casual jean attire, don't expect too much of a change when all his clothes do come to town. He still plans to dress the same way, though with a bit more variety. Taking the place of Dale Stephens, who is on sabbatical this year, Dr. Wolf teaches organic chemistry here at Bethel. He also teaches a chemistry class down at Mounds Midway School of Nursing. "I like that class," he commented on the all female class of fifty-four students.

P.O. 449 Break away to eateries Try a well-rounded evening at this favorite. Educational debate remains Coach's goal for program by Bruce Olsen and Suzi Wells As part of an annual tradition, the Clarion reviews various restaurants in the greater Arden Hills area. One thing all students have in common is a need to eat, and there are several places where they can "break away" from coffee shop or cafeteria meals. 1. Ground Round—This res-taurant is about the only place - where a student can relax and listen to a banjo player and pianist while munching on pea-nuts and popcorn. Reasonably priced, their sandwiches and hodge podges (deep fried onion rings, cauliflower, and mush-rooms) are a treat. 2. Pannekoeken Huis—With Dutch decor and atmosphere, this unique restaurant specializes in pannekoekens, a pancake-pastry delight. Omelettes and roll-ups are delicious for the breakfast eater, but Pannekoeken has good food for the meat and potato lovers also. 3. Lido's—The best place in town for American or Italian food lovers is Lido's. While dining in the warm, casual atmosphere, one can enjoy two specialities, lasagna and Lido's square pizza. 4. Ember's—Open 24 hours, Ember's is a common place for Bethelites to "pull all-nighters." Rather inexpensive, their meals other than breakfast are mediocre at best. 5. Uncle John's—Famous for their buckwheat and buttermilk pancakes, Uncle John's has a homey atmosphere. Since Perkins has become its new owner, the Friday night 89 cent special on all-you-can-eat pancakes is no longer in effect. As a result, some Bethel students no longer patron-ize it. 6. Steak Inn—Its proximity to new campus is one asset Steak Inn has. Although a little hard on the pocketbook, the atmosphere, coffee, and steak are definitely "in." Chopped meat on rice is a special favorite. 7. Poppin' Fresh—This res-taurant is mainly known for its pies, which are excellent. Their French Silk pie, which consists of Bavarian chocolate topped with whipping creme, is my favorite. Poppin' Fresh's other delicacies are tasty, most notably their Doughboy burger. But they are slightly over-priced. 8. Mama Rosa's—After a sum-mer bout with a food poisoning case, Mama has come back strong with some excellent dishes. Her most famous is baked rigatoni, small cylinder noodles in tomato paste topped with melted mozza-rella cheese. Their hot French bread is a nice addition to their dinners. 9. Best Steak House—Louis's fillet is probably the best buy here. Served as a dinner with salad, baked potato and Texas toast, it will satisfy the appetites of most people. The prices are very reasonable. 10. Flameburger—An old cam-pus favorite, the "Flame," offers all the red-necked specials. These include the Flameburger platter and the ranch platter, very reasonable prices for so much food. A must for anyone who is searching for a little Americana. by Arlan Swanson Bethel's debate team will remain strong this year although last year's champion pair, Bill Fraatz and Jo Beld, will not be competing in regularly scheduled meets. Coach Dave Lee says that he expects the teams of Mike Emerson /Scott Larson and Mark Ludwig/Roger Hillerstrom to do substantially well this year. Other potential winners include the entire argumentation and debate gram. Rather than focusing on with coaching the team. Fraatz and Beld will be redirecting their talents as assistant debate coach and basic communications T.A. respective-y. Lee brings a distinctive philo-sophy to Bethel's debate pro-gram. Rather than focusing on winning each debate, his focus is on the educational value inherent in debating. He designs his course to strengthen the stu-dent's skill in the areas of research, organization, thinking-on- your-feet and speaking. "My first goal as an educator is to maximize growth and learning for as many students as possible," said Lee. He added that goals are set with each individual debater, unique to that person, and the success of a debate is determined by whether his goal is reached. He questions the trend in much of varsity debate which is to win rather than educate. Lee's educational slant is that he encourages third - year debaters to go on to other areas where they need improvement, as the benefits to be reaped from debate have probably been maximized by then. With this emphasis Lee encour-ages students who have no experience in the field to get into debate. He is willing to answer questions you may have, just stop by FA 121. The debate team will be attending 15 regional tourna-ments in the seven state area. Among the teams to be faced are Illinois State and the University of Nebraska. Coach Lee is also planning to take several teams to Boston in the spring to debate such teams as Harvard and MIT. A debate lasts approximately one hour and 15 minutes. A position (pro or con) is assigned arbitrarily and the debaters are thus placed in a role play situation. The affirmative team is given the first speech of ten minutes with a ten-minute reply by the defense. This is repeated once and then two sets of five minute exchanges are given. The winner is decided by a judge who scores the teams. Chapel Schedule Monday—Convocation: John Graff.

What had been a glorious moment for her in presenting ma-terials on prayer to a national conference and on local television was turned into feelings of despair when people incessantly jabbed her husband: "How does it feel to be the husband of Evelyn Christenson?" And the hurt continued when her eldest daugh-ter, turning 18, announced she never again wanted to hear another word of her mother's philosophy of Fife. "All I could do," Evelyn says in her book which appears on bookstands this week, "was to pray for God to change me—not Chris or Jan but me." As the wife of Bethel College and Seminary's director of church relations and mother of three, God did not change Evelyn Christenson's gift of speaking but added to that a larger ministry of writing which resulted in the publication two years ago of her first book, "What Happens When Women Pray?", now in its tenth printing with more than 400,000 copies sold.

There were rook cards on the table, a potato chip box stood open on the floor, and the Pepsi was flowing. The apartment was full now, some guys just back from their nights out, others were starting their 53rd game of cards since Walter Cronkite finished at six. Laughter and stereo music filled the room. Carl, one of the younger ones, was trying to explain about how fouled-up his evening out with Sheila had been. No one was listening. When he got to the part where his car was towed away, and the girl had to call up her mother to drive them home from the theater he choked and couldn't go on. He reeled off to the bedroom mumbling something about suicide. Mark, the sagely one who had been winning at cards all evening, called Carl back out. "It probably didn't go nearly as badly as you thought. Hey, if the girl's got any sense of humor at all you'll be OK. She's got to laugh. Things could have been worse." "No way man. This has got to be the most messed-up evening ever. " Mark looked intently at Carl for a few seconds, then asked, "You've never heard about that time Erickson took a girl to a movie back home have you?" Carl hadn't. Erickson was propped up in a corner away from everyone listening to Judy Collins on the stereo. He did not feel like telling that story tonight. It always made him depressed. He was depressed enough already. The girl he was supposed to go out with tonight had called and canceled. She had gotten engaged to someone else yesterday. The boys in the apartment had just shaken their heads. A Bethel engagement they called it. It hurt anyway. "Come on Erickson, tell us the story." "You've already heard it, Mark. What's the point in telling it again?" "Carl here hasn't. Besides, it gets more incredible everytime I hear i t. "Quit stalling. Tell the story." "Okay. okay. Enough already." Erickson took a deep breath, and tried to think back to that cool summer evening in 1973, back to an evening with a girl whose name and face he'd long since pushed from his mind. "I don't even remember the name of the movie. It was a Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood type with a lot of killing and maiming. Very noisy. And she was very bored. I do remember that the movie ended when the hero, though shot eleven or twelve times, dragged himself over to the dynamite plunger, and blew everyone in the movie to smitherines. KAPOW!! I woke her up; it was time to go home. "We ran into some friends of mine in the lobby and stopped to talk. Soon the conversation had digressed off into some subject like cars; `Do you really think your Volkswagon can beat my Vega in the straight-away?' My companion soon grew tired of these metaphysical questions, and excused herself to the ladies room. Our discussion grew more heated and argumentative, and it wasn't long before we had wandered out into the parking lot. One by one we all climbed into our cars after arranging to meet the next day. They all honked their horns as they drove off in their directions home, and I honked as I went off in mine." "You forgot that girl in the bathroom!?!?" "Shhh, be quiet, Carl. Keep going, Erickson." "Well, on the way home I had this uneasy feeling. You know, the kind that makes you think that something's not right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "When I got home all the lights were out in the house. I crept up to the kitchen, and popped a couple of pieces of cracked wheat bread into the toaster. Then I got out a head of lettuce, some mayonnaise, and a can of tuna fish, and soon had the most beautiful toasted tuna fish sandwich you've ever seen. I cut it in two diagonally. and was just sinking my teeth into it when it hit me. I let out a scream that woke up the whole house, and tore out to my car. The theater came into view in a matter of minutes. I pounded on the door, I yelled, all to no avail. All was lost. The theater was closed. "I started toward her house, and a mile down the road I saw her, walking. My car drifted up along side her. What would your first words be in a situation like that? What could you say? A thousand excuses raced through my mind. They were all pathetic. I opened the door and looked at her very guiltily. She pretended not to notice the car. I rolled along side of her for three quarters of a mile pleading with her to get in. Finally she got in and let me drive her home." Carl was doubled up with laughter; he was starting to get sick from laughing so hard. The rest who had heard it before just giggled a little and shook their heads. Mark got up and went back to his card table. "Thank you, Brother Erickson. And by the way, what ever did happen to that girl?" "She and her whole family moved down to Texas two weeks later." Erickson got up and headed back to the corner by the stereo. "You know," Mark said to his card partner sitting across the table. "'I've heard him tell that story to a variety of people. Most guys think it's humorous because they identify with Erickson and his muddle-headedness. But women hate that story. Their first thought is 'what if that ever happened to me?' It's really interesting to see their faces as the story develops; half-amused, half-horrorified. But no matter who hears it the concensus remains unchanged. Erickson," he yelled across the again noisy room. "You are a real nitwit." Page 4 Penny Pederson, Athletic training director.

SMP travels to Ecuador by Holly Schmiess Student Missionary Projects. SMP. Let's back up: "Projects." In the summer? Are you kidding? Missionary Projects." You mean in the jungle—tarantulas, khaki shorts, and grass huts? No way! "Student Missionary Projects." Now that's the last straw. I know. It's a dull name for the life-changing experiences of a summer in another culture. But Bill, a good friend of mine, once penned, - What is in a name? SMP by any other name would be just as sweet." Nineteen of us who were spon-sored by Bethel's SMP can tell you that, and in occasional Clar-ion space, we'll attempt to give other names and other associa-tions to that nebulous title. How? By describing our summers in Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Ala-ska, British Columbia, inner Chi-cago, Baja California, Mexico City, Columbia, and Ecuador. We all started the same way: An SMP executive committee interviewed and selected us last February. Some of us knew where we wanted to go and were looking for SMP support. Some needed both. SMP funds (that's you) were able to supply 60 per cent of the money for our individual mission boards and traveling expenses. Most years it's been 30 per cent. Then we scattered. Marty Den-nison and I headed for HCJB in Quito, Ecuador. Marty, in pre-med at Bethel, would work in the operating room at Hospital -Vo-zandes (Voice of the Andes, another name for HCJB radio station). I would test out my com-munications major in shortwave English programing. AAA Con, a drive-away compa-ny, lent us a brand new air-condi-tioned Buick LeSabre to deliver from Golden Valley to Florida, for practically nothing. In Miami on June 11. all 23 of HCJB's sum-merworkers, from Houghton Col-lege to Michigan State, ex-changed names and boarded E-cuatoriana's DC-10 for Quito. Twenty-three splinters from lo-cal bodies of Christ — other SMP's, churches, colleges — formed a new body on that air-plane, eager to land and begin work. For ten weeks we would be engineers, announcers, writers, secretaries, nurses, surgical as-sistants, Bible school teachers, camp counselors, and musicians. In Quito, the group once more splintered as each of us was adopted by a missionary family. I lived with Peter and Maria Hu-bert, German Mennonites who had fled from Russia to Brazil in 1929, and now worked in Deutsch programing (HCJB broadcasts in 17 languages). Their eyes weren't exclusively focused beyond the antennas, but also on the Ecuadorian people, both Spanish- and German-speak-ing. I'll never forget their 24-hour involvement with young Chris-tians and questioning unbeliev-ers. The day programing assign-ments that were outlined was reminiscent of a new semester. HCJB gave more on-mic respon-sibilities to summer workers this year than ever before. We teamed up by two's to produce "Pass-port," "Saludos Amigos," and "Morning in the Mountains," each one a distinctive format, all meant to intrigue the young DX'er (hobbyist) tuning across his short-wave dial in North America, Europe, the South Paci-fic. and South America. The more hats you can wear at a missionary radio station, the better. Secretarial work in the English correspondence office al-lowed us to complete the corn-munications cycle by reading and processing letters from our au-dience. Ken Haskins, my team partner, and I, received letters from, among others, a farmer in South Carolina, and a journalist in South Africa. Marty, in his green linen, helped deliver babies, remove appendices, witnessed brain sur-gery, sterilized equipment, made sure no guaze was sewn up inside anyone, and observed patients in the recovery room. Believe it or not, he still wants to be a doctor. Work was only half the story. Weekend excursions took us on hairpin-turn bus rides to a mar-ketplace at Otavalo; a Wycliffe missionary to the Colorado In-dians in Santa Domingo; swim-ming in a hot springs pool near Papallacta, HCJB's generator plant; almost to the jungle station of Shell Mera (ask us about the landslides); a 12-hour train ride to Guayaquil; and a disastrous pic-nic at Cunanjaco (ask us about that too!). That's to say nothing of the gorgeous country and fascinating people of Ecuador. Coming from the plains of North Dakota, I was spellbound by the Andes Moun-tains. One evening Huberts and I took a walk to a vantage point over Quito. All three snow-capped splendors, nearly corn-pass- points south, north, and west of the city, were proudly distinct. An orange sun made each peak a brilliant torch against the purple sky. That among countless other moments, will be an indelible memory to me. Perhaps I will stand on that hill again someday just because of the summer of 1977 with Bethel's SMP. by Marlene Triggs When a member of the Bethel community becomes seriously ill it is a matter of concern to all of us. Such is the case of Dr. Ruth Ludeman, a member of the education department. Dr. Ludeman, after a lengthy illness, has been diagnosed as having cancer. She underwent surgery in August for the removal of cancer. Since then she has had by Nancy Naumenko "She sure tightened the ship!" Such was the comment recently made by a number of football players concerning their new athletic training coach, Penny Pederson. The comment seems unlikely when one considers the slim, 5'5" newest addition to the athletic department's staff. For those who are uncertain as to what the job of Bethel's head "athletic trainer" involves, it basically refers to one who is concerned with the care and prevention of athletic injuries, first aid measures, evaluating injuries and caring for them (as in physical therapy), rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletes, and preventative tape support-ings on the field. Also, the trainer is expected to attend all of the games with the players. This comprises half of the job. The other half of her time is concerned with the teaching of gymnastics, P.E. fitness courses, and theory in athletic training to the coaches. Born in Dent, Minn., Ms. Pe-derson holds certification in ath-letic training, having spent a total of six years in attaining her goal, both radiation and chemotherapy. Presently, Dr. Ludeman is con-valescing at home. Further treatments are planned for the future. Dr. Ludeman is the instructor of principles of development and learning. Duane Googins, a part-time instructor is temporari-ly teaching this course in her absence. Mr. Googins is from the special education department of the St. Anthony school system. Ludeman ill four of which were in her special-ization. She took her internship as an undergraduate at Bemidji State; then completed her final two years of internship as a graduate assistant in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Her certification exams were taken in Kansas City Stadium. Out of the approximately 40 persons attempting certification, four were women. One might question how persons would relate to a woman in a field so directly connected with men. Commenting on the players with whom she now works, Ms. Pederson said: "There are always hassles at first; they'd feel much more comfortable with a man at times. I try to view them as injured athletes and want them to view me as a trainer and not neces-sarily a female, as well as one in Jesus Christ." Why choose the vocation she did? According to Ms. Pederson, she was a sophomore in college, very interested in gymnastics, but uncertain as yet to her major, when she was injured in gymnastic activities.

B.J. Thomas was here, in concert, Friday night. Follow-ing the performance, one con-cludes that through his artistry, God's power is glorified and Christian music takes a giant leap forward. This man and his music proclaim a potent message. The bluegrass team consisting of Mike Monroe and Scott Warren, one fiddle, and a guitar played a collection of down-south, foot-stompin', hand-clappin' tunes complete with "Sing Along" and an arrangement of the familiar, "There was a Boy." The two professed their purpose to be that of wetting the audience's appetite "for the main attraction." The spiritual truths evident in their lyrics and the near-flawless harmonizing of their drawling voices, however, justify their positions as gifted musicians. These could attract a crowd of their own admirers with a concert of very singular music. B.J. Thomas' entrance was greeted by an enthusiastic, cheering, sell-out mass. Despite initial trouble with microphones, the first songs, including, of course, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," were powerfully, professionally sung, and obvious-ly appreciated by a madly applauding audience. Renditions of "Doctor God," and "A Song For My Brother" were clear and unfaltering. Predictably, the applause fol-lowing the big hit, "Don't Worry, Baby." merited an encore of the same tune. B.J. sang all the hits admirers remember and love. His popularity as a so-called "secu-lar" singer earns him an immovable place in the affections of modern music-lovers. This fact explains the reason his conver-sion to Christianity is so over-whelmingly exciting. Following a testimony re-vealing his one-time enslavement to drugs turned to dependency on Christ, B.J. Thomas performed selections from his new album "Home Where I Belong." Each song expressed simply the new peace. His is a familiar voice, but these songs and the feelings behind them are novel and inspirational. He concluded with an encore of popular songs. Though somehow superficial and anti-climatic when compared with the moving emotion in his recent releases, these too gave more evidence to the talent of this versatile singer. It is thrilling enough to be witness to a performance of any artist of B.J. Thomas' caliber. When this type of musical genius combines with real Christian faith, it is electrifying! B.J. Thomas' music speaks the language of both the Christian and the unbeliever. His grasp on the heartstrings of inhabitants of both "worlds" allows him to touch and speak to each side in a very real and personal way. When his trademark, now "Raindrops," becomes, "Home Where I Belong," we Christians will realize the impact a person like B.J. Thomas can have upon the non-Christian world. continued from page 5 she was instructed to go the athletic training room. Up till that point, she had no idea what the term "athletic training" even meant. However, her interest was stirred and her vocation born. Although she had other offers, Ms. Pederson "saw Bethel as a challenge and God's leading. Other things looked better but the Christian influence kept drawing me and drawing me." First impressions of Bethel for her vary. "I am really thankful for everything provided so far," she commented, "but as the program grows I hope to get more equip-ment and things to work with to further the program." It is true, she claims, that she did attempt to "tighten ship" somewhat. For the most part, she claims to have had cooperation. However, she has a caution for the Bethel population: "I'd like to warn Bethel students that this is a coed training room, and when guys enter, they'd better wear shorts!" The people, she says, and two in particular, have been fantastic. These two, without whom she claims she "couldn't even begin to function this year" are her two student trainers, Karen Nettleton and Dick Hansen. Generally speaking, Ms. Pe-derson states of her relationship continued on page 7 by Jonathan Pepper Are you tired of paying $3.50 to see movies like "Star Wars"? Is the glamour of a ninety-minute flick lost now that you're in college? Then you're ready for the theatre. Theatre means seeing actors on a live stage performing especially for one audience. Instead of a flickering projector lamp, you see spotlights shining towards the originally-designed set. Two hours quickly slide by you as the story unwinds. But you still complain, "The seats are too expensive." "There's no theatres close to Bethel." "I can't be sure of the content of the play before I go.'' Bethel's lifestyle encourages us against "indiscriminate atten-dance at the theatre." At least 30 theatres around the Metro area produce a variety of plays each year. Here is a student's discriminat-ing guide to theatre in the Twin Cities: Guthrie Theatre, 725 Vineland Place, Mpls. (377-2224) The Guthrie is the most famous dramatic theatre in the Midwest. The professionalism of each production is worth the trip alone. Bethel's Campus Coordinators are planning three evenings at the Guthrie this term: October 21—"She Stoops To Conquer" and December 1 & 2—"A Christ-mas Carol". Reduced ticket pri-ces and bus transportation will be provided by advance reser-vation. The Guthrie also offers its $4.95 seats at a one dollar student discount for any performance. Ten minutes before the show, all empty seats are sold for $3.95 to those who are in the rush line. Chimera Theatre, 30 East 10th Street, St. Paul (222-0792) The Chimera, St. Paul's community theatre, is well-known for its quality entertainment. At Thursday and Sunday per-formances of all shows, student tickets are $3 each. The Chimera has a rush line, but there is no discount. Cricket Theatre, 345 13th Avenue NE, Mpls. (333-1411) The Cricket Theatre offers contem-porary American plays, appealing to younger audiences. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances are $3 in advance. There is a student rush line on the weekend for the same price. Children's Theatre Company, 2400 Third Ave. S., Mpls. (874-0400). Though most of the Children's Theatre Company's season is devoted to juvenile drama, two shows are being produced for adults. These shows, "Thieves' Carni-val" and "The Rivals" offer a $1.50 discount to students on any ticket. The regular price for tickets is $4.95 and up. U of M Theatre, Rarig Center, Mpls. (373-2337) This is your opportunity to see low-priced theatre done by students. Seats are $2.50 each. The U also offers a coupon book of ten coupons redeemable in one evening or throughout the season for $20. If a group of ten people purchase one book, seats are only $2 each. A few suggestions for thea-tre- goers: Last year, a group of girls planned to attend a local theatre with their Nik Dag dates. Because of the crude content of the show, they left their seats vacant after intermission. That's what play reviews are for. Look up the Arts page in the Minneapolis Tribune, Minnesota Daily or Twin Cities Reader. You'll find one person's opinion on the performance and usually a short synopsis of the plot. These papers also give a calendar of current productions to choose from. When you've decided which play to attend, call the theatre's box office for reservations. A car is helpful to reach Twin. Cities theatres. MTC bus service (827-7733) does run to 1 a.m. nightly, but the Bethel bus goes to sleep at 11. However you get there, arrive at the theatre 25 minutes before the advertised show time and don't forget your ID card. Hope you enjoy your break from the movie syndrome.

At 9:00 a.m., students, faculty, and staff will gather for another season of intramural football. This season, as always, will attract some fine athletes. Some either don't have time to play intercollegiate sports or feel they aren't good enough. However, intramural sports at Bethel have always had something for every-body. This fall, the intramural depart-ment will be offering a variety of activities. Some of these include men's football, men and women's volleyball and cross country, and men's singles racketball. It is easy to see that there is enough to keep everybody happy. In addition to the competition that intramural sports offer, special awards are given each year to outstanding participants. An all-star football and basketball team will be selected and will have a chance to break a record in track or freethrow shooting. If you have any interest in competing in this year's activi-ties, there are tournament sign-up sheets on the bulleting board outside the P.E. locker room. The intramural staff welcomes you, and the first page of this year's handbook reads, "Man does not belong to himself, but is given life by God. God requires that a Christian present his body as a living sacrifice, and asks the Christian to practice stewardship of physical attributes. Join with us." Harriers are on the line by Carol Madison The women's cross country team has just gotten its season under way, and already they've shown improvement over last year. The team. in its second year of existence, should better both the times and the season record established last year. "I wouldn't be surprised if the previous record gets broken five times this year," said Coach Shirley Dawson. "We've im-proved, but so has everyone else in the state." Probably the main reason for improvement is the experience that most of the girls have behind them. Four of the team members, Denise Egge, Jenny Kimball, Bobbi Hersch and Gail Anderson, were on the two-mile relay team that went to the nationals last year. Cindy Bartels has experi-ence from last year's track team as a long distance runner. A freshman, Brenda Harris, leads the team so far with the best times. She came to school in excellent condition, and Coach Dawson feels she will probably break records all season long. Rita Glasscock rounds out the team as a first year runner. "This year we should be able to run complete teams at all the meets. We've got more girls out, and each of them is a very consistent runner," added the coach. A cross country race is normally run on a three-mile course. Any time under 21 minutes is considered good. Coach Dawson feels that anyone who can run a 17 should be able to win state and go to the nationals. A time trial invitational was held in St. Cloud on Saturday, Sept. 17. Although times in general were hindered by a slow course, Harris ran a 20:47 and broke the record of 20:51 for the three-mile race. The course was actually 5,000 meters, which is longer than normal, so two records were actually set. She placed fourteenth out of 55 runners. Daily practices have involved running from six to eight miles throughout the day, divided into long and short distances. Bethel should do quite well among the private colleges in the state. Coach Dawson believes they should be able to place second to St. Olaf. "I would be very happy to place sixth in the state overall this year," she said. Bethel has no course as of yet, so all meets are away. Tentative plans are to build a grass course that can be used both for meets and general use by all those who enjoy Jogging. continued from page 6 with her students, "I really enjoy working with them. I profit a lot." The feeling appears to be mutual. The football team praises her training and knee taping abilities. As Phil Veerman put it: "She's just a very good trainer!" continued from page 8 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athle-tic Conference, cited Bahr for his outstanding performance at de-fensive tackle. According to Coach "Chub" Reynolds, Bahr "dominated the line of scrim-mage" in Friday night's routing of Macalester.

Kickers remain unbeaten in tie by Greg Kuntz The Bethel gridders made it two in a row for the season as they edged Southwest State (of Mar-shall, Minn.) 6-0 in a grueling defensive battle last Saturday. The home opener, with packed stands, was highlighted by a pass interception by the Royal's junior defensive back, Greg Peterson, in the last quarter. He returned it 65 yards for the only score of the game. The big "D" was the dominat-ing factor of the contest, with turnovers being another main fac-tor. Besides losing 55 yards in penalties as a team, the Bethel defense sacked the Golden Mus-tang's back-up quarterback, Lar-ry Gilbertson seven times and forced many turnovers. Gilbert-son replaced injured starter Dave Hooper. The first major drive of the game came in the first quarter. The Royals had a chance to score, but an incomplete pass to wide receiver John Selvog in the Gol-den Mustang end zone, followed shortly by a fumble on the six-yard line, abruptly ended the drive with 2:40 left in the first period. Bethel had possession once again as time ran out. The Royals offense started running more in the second quar-ter. Senior Mark Rapinchuk penetrated Southwest State terri-tory with a 15-yard run, but a clipping call moved the ball back to midfield. Sophomore quarter-back Dan Stockfish completed passes to Tom Klitzke and Selvog for sizeable gains. A field goal attempt by freshman Paul Lind-berg was just to the left of the by Debbie Valder Bethel's soccer team remained undefeated last weekend tying Gustavus 1-1 at the Bethel field. Coach Pete Genheimer said the team played their best this season and settled into a steadier game. "This was the toughest game so far. It was the first real idea of our potential," he said. Bethel scored in the first ten minutes on a corner kick from Dave Osgood headed into the net by Greg Thom. The Royals domi-nated the first half until the last few minutes when Gustavus picked up the pace. Momentum shifted in the se-cond half and Gustavus kept Bethel on the defensive, scoring their only goal, also off a corner kick. Bethel again became the agres-sor in the middle of the second half. During the last five to ten minutes of the game the Royals put several hard shots on the cross bars, and the Mustangs took over at their own 20. The Mustangs started moving but were stopped cold by the sharp Bethel defense at the Royals 30. Southwest State got some good gains by their premier rusher, senior running back Bo Scott. They again moved into Bethel territory, but a quarter-back sack by linebacker Mike Kingbird pushed them to their half of the field. A wild exchange of possessions took place for the rest of the half, frustrating both offenses, but providing a party for both teams' defenses. It was highlighted by fumbles and a State interception of a Lonnie Holmgren pass, who came in for Stockfish with a minute to play in the half. Time ran out as the Mustangs had possession. The offensive game continued to be frustrating in the third quarter, but Bethel drives were still coming closer to scoring than the Mustang's. The Bethel defense continued to be tough, especially on quarterback Gilbert-son, who on one play was sacked by five Royal defenders. On another play senior linebacker Gary Leafblad, who suffered an ankle injury later in the game, leaped high and rejected a Gil-bertson pass. Greg Peterson intercepted his first of two passes shortly after. It was early in the fourth quarter when Peterson picked off the Gilbertson pass for the only score of the game. "I saw the pass coming so I cut in front of the guy and had the whole sideline. No one could get to me fast enough. It's the kind of goal, and only some excellent saves by Gustavus kept the score tied. "The problems came because we didn't play up to our potential consistently through the game," said Genheimer. "When we played up to potential it was very encouraging." The team lost only one member to graduation (last spring) leaving lots of experience and gaining new talent from freshmen ranks. Freshmen John Fredrickson is starting at center forward, Bob Genheimer at half-back and Ken Omath on 'defense.

Beth-el faces its stiffest competition of the season, St. Thomas, tomor-row at 10 a.m. at St. Thomas. Gen heimer is optimistic about a victory if the team plays up to its potential. thing you always dream of," said Peterson. The Mustangs put on their biggest threat of the game late in the final quarter set up by a Bethel fumble and a long run by Gilbertson on a quarterback keeper to the Royal's seven-yard line. This was followed three plays later by a big sack by linebacker John Barker at the 18. Then, on fourth and 18, a pass into the Bethel end zone was tipped and the threat was over. The Mustangs had the ball again, but defensive back Randy Fredin intercepted a pass as time ran out. Mark Rapinchuk led all offen-sive rushing for the second straight week with 142 yards in 31 carries. Tom Klitzke had 63 yards in 14 carries. The Royals had 298 yards total offense compared to 144 for Southwest State. Mustang coach Lew Shaver said, "We had the man open but he just didn't get it. Our defense was superb though." The Mus-tangs, on a losing streak from last season, are 0-2 so far this season going into conference play tomor-row. Coach "Chub" Reynolds said, "They didn't stop us as much as we made mistakes, but our defense showed what it's made of. We did get big yardage gains on first down plays and we worked on their defense. We have to get better prepared for Man-kato State.

Transcript | Bethel's east lot has been the scene of frequent violations. SEP 2 3 1971 Erickson responds to increases by G.W. Smith Food prices have increased this year at Bethel College, yet with everything going up except the Twins and the stock market, it comes as no great surprise. In response to the basic question of why, Wayne Erick-son, co-director of food service, pointed out that overall costs for labor, supplies and utilities have increased considerably the past two years making necessary this year's increase. Labor costs alone are much more than they were two years ago with wages now varying from $2.30/hr. to $2.50/hr. Erickson also noted that in the past two years Bethel has not had to increase food prices to offset the concurrent rise in costs. In fact, last year the food service experienced a profit of about $18,000. Many would question the ethics of a student service accruing a profit. When asked about this Erickson replied, "Yes, we try to make a profit. We've never tried to hide that." He added that any of Bethel's auxiliary enterprises operate under the stipulation that a profit is to be attained. Although making a profit is an administrative stipulation, Erick-son noted that it is also a good business practice to accrue an excess rather than a deficit. He continued by saying that the profit collected by the food service is returned to the general account and used for an asundry of purposes including scholarship funds. Students have often com-plained that the profit accrued by the food service was totally at their expense. Not so, according to Erickson. The amount of profit from the student meal plan is less than five per cent. In addition to their many other functions, the Bethel food service also performs a considerable amount of outside catering. In this area the food service strictly aims for profit and returns all money earned to the college. Last year Bethel's catering services returned $50,000. The accounting process used by the food service is a detailed affair. Figures are computed daily, unlike the accounting system of any other school, according to Erickson. From these detailed records the food service is able to accurately evaluate their income and expen-ditures. With a knowledge of the fixed cost and overhead involved in running the food service, plus the detailed records used by the food service to evaluate income, Erickson is able to compute food prices. As a matter of note, this year's prices are up only a fraction over previous years. An expression board is provid-ed in the cafeteria upon which any complaints and/or suggestions may be aired. Signed notes will be answered, according to Erick-son especially if there is a worthy grievance. Erickson pointed out specifically that the food service will listen to any suggestions and would particularly appreciate some encouragement as well.

THE CLARION Bethel College Vol. 53, No. 2 September 23, 1977 - Steps taken to relieve congested parking lots by Denise Hansen Several steps have been taken this year to reduce Bethel's parking problem. The first step was to hire Jim Walcott as director of security and parking. Both Walcott and Glen Hayne, director of mainte-nance, agreed that one change this year is the consistency with which the parking situation will be handled. Complaints about parking are generally in three areas—not enough space for day parking, overnight parking, and the increase in parking tickets from $2 to $5. With the increase in students, the 600 parking spots have been bulging at the seams. To ease this bulge over 100 places have been added to the circle lot this year. This gravel lot added will be lined by Sept. 26, but is now open for parking. With the addition comes a change in the direction of parking in this lot. Parking is in a semi-circle gradually straighten-ing out to rows in the remainder of the lot. Explaining why this lot was not blacktopped, Hayne said, "We would have liked to blacktop it this year, but the soil will not be settled enough to blacktop till next year." As of now overnight parking is in the east lot from the fourth row back and in the east overflow lot. The situation is being reviewed and a report is due to Walcott within the next week. "If we then see there isn't enough parking we will designate more overnight parking space. We don't want to ticket someone for not having a place to park," Walcott said. Those already ticketed this year know that the ticket fines have increased. Hayne explained that a number of students would not respond to $2 tickets. Some would pay the $2 then go out and repeat the violation. Many students who don't think twice about paying $2 may think twice about paying $5. Hopefully this increase will reduce the number of parking violations. About this area Walcott said, "I don't enjoy ticketing cars, it's one of the hardest parts of my job." Hayne commented. "We want the parking program to be consistent, yet flexible and feasible." "We are willing to discuss the issuing of a ticket with any student," said Walcott. "It helps when the student comes to us with a good attitude." Any questions about a ticket should first be brought to Jim Walcott. In an effort to be consistent, the procedure of handling tickets has changed. Tickets are $5, after the first week they go up to $10. If by the third week there is no response, the matter goes to the business office where it is held against a students matriculation as is an old overdue library fine or bookstore bill. Money collected from tickets goes into the resurfacing and improving of parking conditions on campus. According to Walcott, the most common parking violations are the fire lane, delivery entrance, and parking outside the lines in the east lot. As compared with the $10 ticket. plus towing, charge that would be issued by Arden Hills police for parking in the fire lane, the $5 ticket is not high. We also often forget tne free car registra-tion we have that other schools don't have. "We want to make the parking as close to the school as possible," said Hayne. It's nice we don't have to walk several miles to get from the lot to the buildings. Both Walcott and Hayne agreed that the parking situation is getting better and are appreciative of that. Combine the efforts put out by Walcott and Hayne and our cooperation, parking conditions at Bethel will continue to improve. on the inside...

Bethel upperclassmen are no different, especially when they returned to school this year to find that most food prices had been increased by a nickel, making a total meal 10 to 15 cents more expensive than last year. The first question that arises is always, "Why did the prices go up?" Naturally the food service will point towards the major economic indicators, inflation being the most widely used criterion. They will also point to increased labor costs, supplies, utilities and the basic price of food. These problems are all covered in the front-page article on the rising food prices. But other factors must also be considered, mainly the profit figure reported by the food service. As reviewed in the above mentioned article, the food service made about an $18,000 profit last year. That figure is down from the over $40,000 profit during the 1975-1976 school year. These profits made from the food service are then put into the general fund, the catch-all phrase used by the administration for all left-over monies at the end of a fiscal year. Where this money goes once it gets into the general fund is yet another topic that can be left open for debate. An article in last week's issue about the new annex reported that the administration planned to use the profits from both the food service and bookstore to help pay for the annex. This we believe leaves a question open as to the proper ethics of such a move. Using profits gained from student services and placing them in a fund to be used for a building fund is not our idea of a properly run business. Building funds should not be collected from student services, but rather should be attached to something out in the open where students know that their money is being used for such an expressed use. The food service should be used for that expressed purpose—a service to the students, not a profit-producing business for the school. In order to do this, the administration would claim that tuition would have to be raised more than it normally is. This, in turn, would turn off prospective students who would normally come to Bethel if the tuition rates were not so high. We claim that it is better policy to place all charges under tuition rates rather than using student services to make a profit. A greater amount of special gifts and foundation grants could also be raised to offset this profit loss. We understand that this effort would take much time and money just to get it off the ground. But we believe it would be better policy to solicit more outside funds rather than soaking the pockets of students when they have already been soaked into a loan-producing situation. The food service, on the other hand, claims to be making less than a five per cent profit, a very minimal amount at best. But five per cent on $500 of food cards comes out to $25, or another food card. A very minimal amount to some, but possibly a week or two of food to a new campus resident. Granted, the administration is looking after our best interests in building the new annex to relieve the present crowded conditions. But to use the profits gained from student services aggravates a problem that already irritates anyone who steps into the cafeteria—the high price of food. Let student services remain what they were originally planned to be—a service to the students, not a profit-making business. Coordinators bring variety The Campus Coordinators went through some difficult times last year, receiving negative criticism from not only this newspaper, but also from students, faculty and administration alike. Student attitudes were so negative towards the coordinators that apathy reigned for many coordinator-sponsored activities. This year We are pleased to praise the fine work done thus far by this year's coordinators, Scott Barsuhn and Cynthia Green. Not only have they spent much time and effort to better the social life at Bethel, but they have extended an extra effort at getting the best and most enjoyable activities for the student body. The excellent Campus Coordinator activity featuring B.J. Thomas in concert was one example of their effort. Not only was Thomas an excellent performer, but the program ran very fluently with only minor problems. Even the doors were open relatively early to relieve the congestion outside the gymnasium. In previous years the doors would not be opened until 15 minutes after the concert was to begin, so as to cause undue discomfort to the waiting audience. We look forward to seeing their excellent work continued throughout the year and anticipate an improved social climate at Bethel with coordinator-sponsored activities.

Dr. Wolf shipped almost all of his possessions, including most of his clothing, from California to Bethel prior to his departure for Bethel. Although the shipment was to arrive by Sept. 2, Dr. Wolf is still living out of one suitcase and sleeping in his sleeping bag. He is hoping for the arrival of his clothes not too far into the distant future. If you've noted Dr. Wolf's casual jean attire, don't expect too much of a change when all his clothes do come to town. He still plans to dress the same way, though with a bit more variety. Taking the place of Dale Stephens, who is on sabbatical this year, Dr. Wolf teaches organic chemistry here at Bethel. He also teaches a chemistry class down at Mounds Midway School of Nursing. "I like that class," he commented on the all female class of fifty-four students.

P.O. 449 Break away to eateries Try a well-rounded evening at this favorite. Educational debate remains Coach's goal for program by Bruce Olsen and Suzi Wells As part of an annual tradition, the Clarion reviews various restaurants in the greater Arden Hills area. One thing all students have in common is a need to eat, and there are several places where they can "break away" from coffee shop or cafeteria meals. 1. Ground Round—This res-taurant is about the only place - where a student can relax and listen to a banjo player and pianist while munching on pea-nuts and popcorn. Reasonably priced, their sandwiches and hodge podges (deep fried onion rings, cauliflower, and mush-rooms) are a treat. 2. Pannekoeken Huis—With Dutch decor and atmosphere, this unique restaurant specializes in pannekoekens, a pancake-pastry delight. Omelettes and roll-ups are delicious for the breakfast eater, but Pannekoeken has good food for the meat and potato lovers also. 3. Lido's—The best place in town for American or Italian food lovers is Lido's. While dining in the warm, casual atmosphere, one can enjoy two specialities, lasagna and Lido's square pizza. 4. Ember's—Open 24 hours, Ember's is a common place for Bethelites to "pull all-nighters." Rather inexpensive, their meals other than breakfast are mediocre at best. 5. Uncle John's—Famous for their buckwheat and buttermilk pancakes, Uncle John's has a homey atmosphere. Since Perkins has become its new owner, the Friday night 89 cent special on all-you-can-eat pancakes is no longer in effect. As a result, some Bethel students no longer patron-ize it. 6. Steak Inn—Its proximity to new campus is one asset Steak Inn has. Although a little hard on the pocketbook, the atmosphere, coffee, and steak are definitely "in." Chopped meat on rice is a special favorite. 7. Poppin' Fresh—This res-taurant is mainly known for its pies, which are excellent. Their French Silk pie, which consists of Bavarian chocolate topped with whipping creme, is my favorite. Poppin' Fresh's other delicacies are tasty, most notably their Doughboy burger. But they are slightly over-priced. 8. Mama Rosa's—After a sum-mer bout with a food poisoning case, Mama has come back strong with some excellent dishes. Her most famous is baked rigatoni, small cylinder noodles in tomato paste topped with melted mozza-rella cheese. Their hot French bread is a nice addition to their dinners. 9. Best Steak House—Louis's fillet is probably the best buy here. Served as a dinner with salad, baked potato and Texas toast, it will satisfy the appetites of most people. The prices are very reasonable. 10. Flameburger—An old cam-pus favorite, the "Flame," offers all the red-necked specials. These include the Flameburger platter and the ranch platter, very reasonable prices for so much food. A must for anyone who is searching for a little Americana. by Arlan Swanson Bethel's debate team will remain strong this year although last year's champion pair, Bill Fraatz and Jo Beld, will not be competing in regularly scheduled meets. Coach Dave Lee says that he expects the teams of Mike Emerson /Scott Larson and Mark Ludwig/Roger Hillerstrom to do substantially well this year. Other potential winners include the entire argumentation and debate gram. Rather than focusing on with coaching the team. Fraatz and Beld will be redirecting their talents as assistant debate coach and basic communications T.A. respective-y. Lee brings a distinctive philo-sophy to Bethel's debate pro-gram. Rather than focusing on winning each debate, his focus is on the educational value inherent in debating. He designs his course to strengthen the stu-dent's skill in the areas of research, organization, thinking-on- your-feet and speaking. "My first goal as an educator is to maximize growth and learning for as many students as possible," said Lee. He added that goals are set with each individual debater, unique to that person, and the success of a debate is determined by whether his goal is reached. He questions the trend in much of varsity debate which is to win rather than educate. Lee's educational slant is that he encourages third - year debaters to go on to other areas where they need improvement, as the benefits to be reaped from debate have probably been maximized by then. With this emphasis Lee encour-ages students who have no experience in the field to get into debate. He is willing to answer questions you may have, just stop by FA 121. The debate team will be attending 15 regional tourna-ments in the seven state area. Among the teams to be faced are Illinois State and the University of Nebraska. Coach Lee is also planning to take several teams to Boston in the spring to debate such teams as Harvard and MIT. A debate lasts approximately one hour and 15 minutes. A position (pro or con) is assigned arbitrarily and the debaters are thus placed in a role play situation. The affirmative team is given the first speech of ten minutes with a ten-minute reply by the defense. This is repeated once and then two sets of five minute exchanges are given. The winner is decided by a judge who scores the teams. Chapel Schedule Monday—Convocation: John Graff.

What had been a glorious moment for her in presenting ma-terials on prayer to a national conference and on local television was turned into feelings of despair when people incessantly jabbed her husband: "How does it feel to be the husband of Evelyn Christenson?" And the hurt continued when her eldest daugh-ter, turning 18, announced she never again wanted to hear another word of her mother's philosophy of Fife. "All I could do," Evelyn says in her book which appears on bookstands this week, "was to pray for God to change me—not Chris or Jan but me." As the wife of Bethel College and Seminary's director of church relations and mother of three, God did not change Evelyn Christenson's gift of speaking but added to that a larger ministry of writing which resulted in the publication two years ago of her first book, "What Happens When Women Pray?", now in its tenth printing with more than 400,000 copies sold.

There were rook cards on the table, a potato chip box stood open on the floor, and the Pepsi was flowing. The apartment was full now, some guys just back from their nights out, others were starting their 53rd game of cards since Walter Cronkite finished at six. Laughter and stereo music filled the room. Carl, one of the younger ones, was trying to explain about how fouled-up his evening out with Sheila had been. No one was listening. When he got to the part where his car was towed away, and the girl had to call up her mother to drive them home from the theater he choked and couldn't go on. He reeled off to the bedroom mumbling something about suicide. Mark, the sagely one who had been winning at cards all evening, called Carl back out. "It probably didn't go nearly as badly as you thought. Hey, if the girl's got any sense of humor at all you'll be OK. She's got to laugh. Things could have been worse." "No way man. This has got to be the most messed-up evening ever. " Mark looked intently at Carl for a few seconds, then asked, "You've never heard about that time Erickson took a girl to a movie back home have you?" Carl hadn't. Erickson was propped up in a corner away from everyone listening to Judy Collins on the stereo. He did not feel like telling that story tonight. It always made him depressed. He was depressed enough already. The girl he was supposed to go out with tonight had called and canceled. She had gotten engaged to someone else yesterday. The boys in the apartment had just shaken their heads. A Bethel engagement they called it. It hurt anyway. "Come on Erickson, tell us the story." "You've already heard it, Mark. What's the point in telling it again?" "Carl here hasn't. Besides, it gets more incredible everytime I hear i t. "Quit stalling. Tell the story." "Okay. okay. Enough already." Erickson took a deep breath, and tried to think back to that cool summer evening in 1973, back to an evening with a girl whose name and face he'd long since pushed from his mind. "I don't even remember the name of the movie. It was a Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood type with a lot of killing and maiming. Very noisy. And she was very bored. I do remember that the movie ended when the hero, though shot eleven or twelve times, dragged himself over to the dynamite plunger, and blew everyone in the movie to smitherines. KAPOW!! I woke her up; it was time to go home. "We ran into some friends of mine in the lobby and stopped to talk. Soon the conversation had digressed off into some subject like cars; `Do you really think your Volkswagon can beat my Vega in the straight-away?' My companion soon grew tired of these metaphysical questions, and excused herself to the ladies room. Our discussion grew more heated and argumentative, and it wasn't long before we had wandered out into the parking lot. One by one we all climbed into our cars after arranging to meet the next day. They all honked their horns as they drove off in their directions home, and I honked as I went off in mine." "You forgot that girl in the bathroom!?!?" "Shhh, be quiet, Carl. Keep going, Erickson." "Well, on the way home I had this uneasy feeling. You know, the kind that makes you think that something's not right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. "When I got home all the lights were out in the house. I crept up to the kitchen, and popped a couple of pieces of cracked wheat bread into the toaster. Then I got out a head of lettuce, some mayonnaise, and a can of tuna fish, and soon had the most beautiful toasted tuna fish sandwich you've ever seen. I cut it in two diagonally. and was just sinking my teeth into it when it hit me. I let out a scream that woke up the whole house, and tore out to my car. The theater came into view in a matter of minutes. I pounded on the door, I yelled, all to no avail. All was lost. The theater was closed. "I started toward her house, and a mile down the road I saw her, walking. My car drifted up along side her. What would your first words be in a situation like that? What could you say? A thousand excuses raced through my mind. They were all pathetic. I opened the door and looked at her very guiltily. She pretended not to notice the car. I rolled along side of her for three quarters of a mile pleading with her to get in. Finally she got in and let me drive her home." Carl was doubled up with laughter; he was starting to get sick from laughing so hard. The rest who had heard it before just giggled a little and shook their heads. Mark got up and went back to his card table. "Thank you, Brother Erickson. And by the way, what ever did happen to that girl?" "She and her whole family moved down to Texas two weeks later." Erickson got up and headed back to the corner by the stereo. "You know," Mark said to his card partner sitting across the table. "'I've heard him tell that story to a variety of people. Most guys think it's humorous because they identify with Erickson and his muddle-headedness. But women hate that story. Their first thought is 'what if that ever happened to me?' It's really interesting to see their faces as the story develops; half-amused, half-horrorified. But no matter who hears it the concensus remains unchanged. Erickson," he yelled across the again noisy room. "You are a real nitwit." Page 4 Penny Pederson, Athletic training director.

SMP travels to Ecuador by Holly Schmiess Student Missionary Projects. SMP. Let's back up: "Projects." In the summer? Are you kidding? Missionary Projects." You mean in the jungle—tarantulas, khaki shorts, and grass huts? No way! "Student Missionary Projects." Now that's the last straw. I know. It's a dull name for the life-changing experiences of a summer in another culture. But Bill, a good friend of mine, once penned, - What is in a name? SMP by any other name would be just as sweet." Nineteen of us who were spon-sored by Bethel's SMP can tell you that, and in occasional Clar-ion space, we'll attempt to give other names and other associa-tions to that nebulous title. How? By describing our summers in Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Ala-ska, British Columbia, inner Chi-cago, Baja California, Mexico City, Columbia, and Ecuador. We all started the same way: An SMP executive committee interviewed and selected us last February. Some of us knew where we wanted to go and were looking for SMP support. Some needed both. SMP funds (that's you) were able to supply 60 per cent of the money for our individual mission boards and traveling expenses. Most years it's been 30 per cent. Then we scattered. Marty Den-nison and I headed for HCJB in Quito, Ecuador. Marty, in pre-med at Bethel, would work in the operating room at Hospital -Vo-zandes (Voice of the Andes, another name for HCJB radio station). I would test out my com-munications major in shortwave English programing. AAA Con, a drive-away compa-ny, lent us a brand new air-condi-tioned Buick LeSabre to deliver from Golden Valley to Florida, for practically nothing. In Miami on June 11. all 23 of HCJB's sum-merworkers, from Houghton Col-lege to Michigan State, ex-changed names and boarded E-cuatoriana's DC-10 for Quito. Twenty-three splinters from lo-cal bodies of Christ — other SMP's, churches, colleges — formed a new body on that air-plane, eager to land and begin work. For ten weeks we would be engineers, announcers, writers, secretaries, nurses, surgical as-sistants, Bible school teachers, camp counselors, and musicians. In Quito, the group once more splintered as each of us was adopted by a missionary family. I lived with Peter and Maria Hu-bert, German Mennonites who had fled from Russia to Brazil in 1929, and now worked in Deutsch programing (HCJB broadcasts in 17 languages). Their eyes weren't exclusively focused beyond the antennas, but also on the Ecuadorian people, both Spanish- and German-speak-ing. I'll never forget their 24-hour involvement with young Chris-tians and questioning unbeliev-ers. The day programing assign-ments that were outlined was reminiscent of a new semester. HCJB gave more on-mic respon-sibilities to summer workers this year than ever before. We teamed up by two's to produce "Pass-port," "Saludos Amigos," and "Morning in the Mountains," each one a distinctive format, all meant to intrigue the young DX'er (hobbyist) tuning across his short-wave dial in North America, Europe, the South Paci-fic. and South America. The more hats you can wear at a missionary radio station, the better. Secretarial work in the English correspondence office al-lowed us to complete the corn-munications cycle by reading and processing letters from our au-dience. Ken Haskins, my team partner, and I, received letters from, among others, a farmer in South Carolina, and a journalist in South Africa. Marty, in his green linen, helped deliver babies, remove appendices, witnessed brain sur-gery, sterilized equipment, made sure no guaze was sewn up inside anyone, and observed patients in the recovery room. Believe it or not, he still wants to be a doctor. Work was only half the story. Weekend excursions took us on hairpin-turn bus rides to a mar-ketplace at Otavalo; a Wycliffe missionary to the Colorado In-dians in Santa Domingo; swim-ming in a hot springs pool near Papallacta, HCJB's generator plant; almost to the jungle station of Shell Mera (ask us about the landslides); a 12-hour train ride to Guayaquil; and a disastrous pic-nic at Cunanjaco (ask us about that too!). That's to say nothing of the gorgeous country and fascinating people of Ecuador. Coming from the plains of North Dakota, I was spellbound by the Andes Moun-tains. One evening Huberts and I took a walk to a vantage point over Quito. All three snow-capped splendors, nearly corn-pass- points south, north, and west of the city, were proudly distinct. An orange sun made each peak a brilliant torch against the purple sky. That among countless other moments, will be an indelible memory to me. Perhaps I will stand on that hill again someday just because of the summer of 1977 with Bethel's SMP. by Marlene Triggs When a member of the Bethel community becomes seriously ill it is a matter of concern to all of us. Such is the case of Dr. Ruth Ludeman, a member of the education department. Dr. Ludeman, after a lengthy illness, has been diagnosed as having cancer. She underwent surgery in August for the removal of cancer. Since then she has had by Nancy Naumenko "She sure tightened the ship!" Such was the comment recently made by a number of football players concerning their new athletic training coach, Penny Pederson. The comment seems unlikely when one considers the slim, 5'5" newest addition to the athletic department's staff. For those who are uncertain as to what the job of Bethel's head "athletic trainer" involves, it basically refers to one who is concerned with the care and prevention of athletic injuries, first aid measures, evaluating injuries and caring for them (as in physical therapy), rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletes, and preventative tape support-ings on the field. Also, the trainer is expected to attend all of the games with the players. This comprises half of the job. The other half of her time is concerned with the teaching of gymnastics, P.E. fitness courses, and theory in athletic training to the coaches. Born in Dent, Minn., Ms. Pe-derson holds certification in ath-letic training, having spent a total of six years in attaining her goal, both radiation and chemotherapy. Presently, Dr. Ludeman is con-valescing at home. Further treatments are planned for the future. Dr. Ludeman is the instructor of principles of development and learning. Duane Googins, a part-time instructor is temporari-ly teaching this course in her absence. Mr. Googins is from the special education department of the St. Anthony school system. Ludeman ill four of which were in her special-ization. She took her internship as an undergraduate at Bemidji State; then completed her final two years of internship as a graduate assistant in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Her certification exams were taken in Kansas City Stadium. Out of the approximately 40 persons attempting certification, four were women. One might question how persons would relate to a woman in a field so directly connected with men. Commenting on the players with whom she now works, Ms. Pederson said: "There are always hassles at first; they'd feel much more comfortable with a man at times. I try to view them as injured athletes and want them to view me as a trainer and not neces-sarily a female, as well as one in Jesus Christ." Why choose the vocation she did? According to Ms. Pederson, she was a sophomore in college, very interested in gymnastics, but uncertain as yet to her major, when she was injured in gymnastic activities.

B.J. Thomas was here, in concert, Friday night. Follow-ing the performance, one con-cludes that through his artistry, God's power is glorified and Christian music takes a giant leap forward. This man and his music proclaim a potent message. The bluegrass team consisting of Mike Monroe and Scott Warren, one fiddle, and a guitar played a collection of down-south, foot-stompin', hand-clappin' tunes complete with "Sing Along" and an arrangement of the familiar, "There was a Boy." The two professed their purpose to be that of wetting the audience's appetite "for the main attraction." The spiritual truths evident in their lyrics and the near-flawless harmonizing of their drawling voices, however, justify their positions as gifted musicians. These could attract a crowd of their own admirers with a concert of very singular music. B.J. Thomas' entrance was greeted by an enthusiastic, cheering, sell-out mass. Despite initial trouble with microphones, the first songs, including, of course, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," were powerfully, professionally sung, and obvious-ly appreciated by a madly applauding audience. Renditions of "Doctor God," and "A Song For My Brother" were clear and unfaltering. Predictably, the applause fol-lowing the big hit, "Don't Worry, Baby." merited an encore of the same tune. B.J. sang all the hits admirers remember and love. His popularity as a so-called "secu-lar" singer earns him an immovable place in the affections of modern music-lovers. This fact explains the reason his conver-sion to Christianity is so over-whelmingly exciting. Following a testimony re-vealing his one-time enslavement to drugs turned to dependency on Christ, B.J. Thomas performed selections from his new album "Home Where I Belong." Each song expressed simply the new peace. His is a familiar voice, but these songs and the feelings behind them are novel and inspirational. He concluded with an encore of popular songs. Though somehow superficial and anti-climatic when compared with the moving emotion in his recent releases, these too gave more evidence to the talent of this versatile singer. It is thrilling enough to be witness to a performance of any artist of B.J. Thomas' caliber. When this type of musical genius combines with real Christian faith, it is electrifying! B.J. Thomas' music speaks the language of both the Christian and the unbeliever. His grasp on the heartstrings of inhabitants of both "worlds" allows him to touch and speak to each side in a very real and personal way. When his trademark, now "Raindrops," becomes, "Home Where I Belong," we Christians will realize the impact a person like B.J. Thomas can have upon the non-Christian world. continued from page 5 she was instructed to go the athletic training room. Up till that point, she had no idea what the term "athletic training" even meant. However, her interest was stirred and her vocation born. Although she had other offers, Ms. Pederson "saw Bethel as a challenge and God's leading. Other things looked better but the Christian influence kept drawing me and drawing me." First impressions of Bethel for her vary. "I am really thankful for everything provided so far," she commented, "but as the program grows I hope to get more equip-ment and things to work with to further the program." It is true, she claims, that she did attempt to "tighten ship" somewhat. For the most part, she claims to have had cooperation. However, she has a caution for the Bethel population: "I'd like to warn Bethel students that this is a coed training room, and when guys enter, they'd better wear shorts!" The people, she says, and two in particular, have been fantastic. These two, without whom she claims she "couldn't even begin to function this year" are her two student trainers, Karen Nettleton and Dick Hansen. Generally speaking, Ms. Pe-derson states of her relationship continued on page 7 by Jonathan Pepper Are you tired of paying $3.50 to see movies like "Star Wars"? Is the glamour of a ninety-minute flick lost now that you're in college? Then you're ready for the theatre. Theatre means seeing actors on a live stage performing especially for one audience. Instead of a flickering projector lamp, you see spotlights shining towards the originally-designed set. Two hours quickly slide by you as the story unwinds. But you still complain, "The seats are too expensive." "There's no theatres close to Bethel." "I can't be sure of the content of the play before I go.'' Bethel's lifestyle encourages us against "indiscriminate atten-dance at the theatre." At least 30 theatres around the Metro area produce a variety of plays each year. Here is a student's discriminat-ing guide to theatre in the Twin Cities: Guthrie Theatre, 725 Vineland Place, Mpls. (377-2224) The Guthrie is the most famous dramatic theatre in the Midwest. The professionalism of each production is worth the trip alone. Bethel's Campus Coordinators are planning three evenings at the Guthrie this term: October 21—"She Stoops To Conquer" and December 1 & 2—"A Christ-mas Carol". Reduced ticket pri-ces and bus transportation will be provided by advance reser-vation. The Guthrie also offers its $4.95 seats at a one dollar student discount for any performance. Ten minutes before the show, all empty seats are sold for $3.95 to those who are in the rush line. Chimera Theatre, 30 East 10th Street, St. Paul (222-0792) The Chimera, St. Paul's community theatre, is well-known for its quality entertainment. At Thursday and Sunday per-formances of all shows, student tickets are $3 each. The Chimera has a rush line, but there is no discount. Cricket Theatre, 345 13th Avenue NE, Mpls. (333-1411) The Cricket Theatre offers contem-porary American plays, appealing to younger audiences. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday performances are $3 in advance. There is a student rush line on the weekend for the same price. Children's Theatre Company, 2400 Third Ave. S., Mpls. (874-0400). Though most of the Children's Theatre Company's season is devoted to juvenile drama, two shows are being produced for adults. These shows, "Thieves' Carni-val" and "The Rivals" offer a $1.50 discount to students on any ticket. The regular price for tickets is $4.95 and up. U of M Theatre, Rarig Center, Mpls. (373-2337) This is your opportunity to see low-priced theatre done by students. Seats are $2.50 each. The U also offers a coupon book of ten coupons redeemable in one evening or throughout the season for $20. If a group of ten people purchase one book, seats are only $2 each. A few suggestions for thea-tre- goers: Last year, a group of girls planned to attend a local theatre with their Nik Dag dates. Because of the crude content of the show, they left their seats vacant after intermission. That's what play reviews are for. Look up the Arts page in the Minneapolis Tribune, Minnesota Daily or Twin Cities Reader. You'll find one person's opinion on the performance and usually a short synopsis of the plot. These papers also give a calendar of current productions to choose from. When you've decided which play to attend, call the theatre's box office for reservations. A car is helpful to reach Twin. Cities theatres. MTC bus service (827-7733) does run to 1 a.m. nightly, but the Bethel bus goes to sleep at 11. However you get there, arrive at the theatre 25 minutes before the advertised show time and don't forget your ID card. Hope you enjoy your break from the movie syndrome.

It was the first day of intramural football, a sport dominated by Off Campus West in recent years. Haalaids 'Auto Sales Highway 69 North P. 0.

At 9:00 a.m., students, faculty, and staff will gather for another season of intramural football. This season, as always, will attract some fine athletes. Some either don't have time to play intercollegiate sports or feel they aren't good enough. However, intramural sports at Bethel have always had something for every-body. This fall, the intramural depart-ment will be offering a variety of activities. Some of these include men's football, men and women's volleyball and cross country, and men's singles racketball. It is easy to see that there is enough to keep everybody happy. In addition to the competition that intramural sports offer, special awards are given each year to outstanding participants. An all-star football and basketball team will be selected and will have a chance to break a record in track or freethrow shooting. If you have any interest in competing in this year's activi-ties, there are tournament sign-up sheets on the bulleting board outside the P.E. locker room. The intramural staff welcomes you, and the first page of this year's handbook reads, "Man does not belong to himself, but is given life by God. God requires that a Christian present his body as a living sacrifice, and asks the Christian to practice stewardship of physical attributes. Join with us." Harriers are on the line by Carol Madison The women's cross country team has just gotten its season under way, and already they've shown improvement over last year. The team. in its second year of existence, should better both the times and the season record established last year. "I wouldn't be surprised if the previous record gets broken five times this year," said Coach Shirley Dawson. "We've im-proved, but so has everyone else in the state." Probably the main reason for improvement is the experience that most of the girls have behind them. Four of the team members, Denise Egge, Jenny Kimball, Bobbi Hersch and Gail Anderson, were on the two-mile relay team that went to the nationals last year. Cindy Bartels has experi-ence from last year's track team as a long distance runner. A freshman, Brenda Harris, leads the team so far with the best times. She came to school in excellent condition, and Coach Dawson feels she will probably break records all season long. Rita Glasscock rounds out the team as a first year runner. "This year we should be able to run complete teams at all the meets. We've got more girls out, and each of them is a very consistent runner," added the coach. A cross country race is normally run on a three-mile course. Any time under 21 minutes is considered good. Coach Dawson feels that anyone who can run a 17 should be able to win state and go to the nationals. A time trial invitational was held in St. Cloud on Saturday, Sept. 17. Although times in general were hindered by a slow course, Harris ran a 20:47 and broke the record of 20:51 for the three-mile race. The course was actually 5,000 meters, which is longer than normal, so two records were actually set. She placed fourteenth out of 55 runners. Daily practices have involved running from six to eight miles throughout the day, divided into long and short distances. Bethel should do quite well among the private colleges in the state. Coach Dawson believes they should be able to place second to St. Olaf. "I would be very happy to place sixth in the state overall this year," she said. Bethel has no course as of yet, so all meets are away. Tentative plans are to build a grass course that can be used both for meets and general use by all those who enjoy Jogging. continued from page 6 with her students, "I really enjoy working with them. I profit a lot." The feeling appears to be mutual. The football team praises her training and knee taping abilities. As Phil Veerman put it: "She's just a very good trainer!" continued from page 8 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athle-tic Conference, cited Bahr for his outstanding performance at de-fensive tackle. According to Coach "Chub" Reynolds, Bahr "dominated the line of scrim-mage" in Friday night's routing of Macalester.

Page 7 Greg "Homer" Thom [number ten] awaits ball in front of Gustavus goal. Thom later scored the lone tally of the day, as the Royals tied the Gusties by a 1-1 score Safety Dean Kalhol shows unique tackling style in game against Southwest State last Saturday. The Royals will be taking this weekend off before facing Mankato State next Saturday. Kickers remain unbeaten in tie by Greg Kuntz The Bethel gridders made it two in a row for the season as they edged Southwest State (of Mar-shall, Minn.) 6-0 in a grueling defensive battle last Saturday. The home opener, with packed stands, was highlighted by a pass interception by the Royal's junior defensive back, Greg Peterson, in the last quarter. He returned it 65 yards for the only score of the game. The big "D" was the dominat-ing factor of the contest, with turnovers being another main fac-tor. Besides losing 55 yards in penalties as a team, the Bethel defense sacked the Golden Mus-tang's back-up quarterback, Lar-ry Gilbertson seven times and forced many turnovers. Gilbert-son replaced injured starter Dave Hooper. The first major drive of the game came in the first quarter. The Royals had a chance to score, but an incomplete pass to wide receiver John Selvog in the Gol-den Mustang end zone, followed shortly by a fumble on the six-yard line, abruptly ended the drive with 2:40 left in the first period. Bethel had possession once again as time ran out. The Royals offense started running more in the second quar-ter. Senior Mark Rapinchuk penetrated Southwest State terri-tory with a 15-yard run, but a clipping call moved the ball back to midfield. Sophomore quarter-back Dan Stockfish completed passes to Tom Klitzke and Selvog for sizeable gains. A field goal attempt by freshman Paul Lind-berg was just to the left of the by Debbie Valder Bethel's soccer team remained undefeated last weekend tying Gustavus 1-1 at the Bethel field. Coach Pete Genheimer said the team played their best this season and settled into a steadier game. "This was the toughest game so far. It was the first real idea of our potential," he said. Bethel scored in the first ten minutes on a corner kick from Dave Osgood headed into the net by Greg Thom. The Royals domi-nated the first half until the last few minutes when Gustavus picked up the pace. Momentum shifted in the se-cond half and Gustavus kept Bethel on the defensive, scoring their only goal, also off a corner kick. Bethel again became the agres-sor in the middle of the second half. During the last five to ten minutes of the game the Royals put several hard shots on the cross bars, and the Mustangs took over at their own 20. The Mustangs started moving but were stopped cold by the sharp Bethel defense at the Royals 30. Southwest State got some good gains by their premier rusher, senior running back Bo Scott. They again moved into Bethel territory, but a quarter-back sack by linebacker Mike Kingbird pushed them to their half of the field. A wild exchange of possessions took place for the rest of the half, frustrating both offenses, but providing a party for both teams' defenses. It was highlighted by fumbles and a State interception of a Lonnie Holmgren pass, who came in for Stockfish with a minute to play in the half. Time ran out as the Mustangs had possession. The offensive game continued to be frustrating in the third quarter, but Bethel drives were still coming closer to scoring than the Mustang's. The Bethel defense continued to be tough, especially on quarterback Gilbert-son, who on one play was sacked by five Royal defenders. On another play senior linebacker Gary Leafblad, who suffered an ankle injury later in the game, leaped high and rejected a Gil-bertson pass. Greg Peterson intercepted his first of two passes shortly after. It was early in the fourth quarter when Peterson picked off the Gilbertson pass for the only score of the game. "I saw the pass coming so I cut in front of the guy and had the whole sideline. No one could get to me fast enough. It's the kind of goal, and only some excellent saves by Gustavus kept the score tied. "The problems came because we didn't play up to our potential consistently through the game," said Genheimer. "When we played up to potential it was very encouraging." The team lost only one member to graduation (last spring) leaving lots of experience and gaining new talent from freshmen ranks. Freshmen John Fredrickson is starting at center forward, Bob Genheimer at half-back and Ken Omath on 'defense. The junior varsity won its first game against Northwestern Bible 2-1 and played Anoka-Ramsey Junior College Wednesday. Beth-el faces its stiffest competition of the season, St. Thomas, tomor-row at 10 a.m. at St. Thomas. Gen heimer is optimistic about a victory if the team plays up to its potential. thing you always dream of," said Peterson. The Mustangs put on their biggest threat of the game late in the final quarter set up by a Bethel fumble and a long run by Gilbertson on a quarterback keeper to the Royal's seven-yard line. This was followed three plays later by a big sack by linebacker John Barker at the 18. Then, on fourth and 18, a pass into the Bethel end zone was tipped and the threat was over. The Mustangs had the ball again, but defensive back Randy Fredin intercepted a pass as time ran out. Mark Rapinchuk led all offen-sive rushing for the second straight week with 142 yards in 31 carries. Tom Klitzke had 63 yards in 14 carries. The Royals had 298 yards total offense compared to 144 for Southwest State. Mustang coach Lew Shaver said, "We had the man open but he just didn't get it. Our defense was superb though." The Mus-tangs, on a losing streak from last season, are 0-2 so far this season going into conference play tomor-row. Coach "Chub" Reynolds said, "They didn't stop us as much as we made mistakes, but our defense showed what it's made of. We did get big yardage gains on first down plays and we worked on their defense. We have to get better prepared for Man-kato State.
