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.

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.

Editor questions ethics
of Bethel food price hike
Major price increases always seem to be followed by numerous
complaints and grumblings among those who are being charged the
higher prices. 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.

We've all heard of a wolf in
sheep's clothing, lout new Bethel
professor, Monty Wolf, has
problems with his own clothing.
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.

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.

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.

Christenson book
deals with change
Alt
Evelyn Christenson's newest
book and personal prayer, "Lord,
Change Me," had its beginnings
in 1968 as she faced traumatic
situations as a wife and mother.
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.

Divide by six
by Dan Erickson
It was a late Friday evening. 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."

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.

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. As a result,

B.J. sings
from new heart
by Shelly Nielsen
Here's real news for Clarion
readers. 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.

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

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. Exper-ience
life in a night at the theatre.

It's a bright, crisp Saturday
morning. 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

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.

The feeling appears to be mutual.

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

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.

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. ''
The Royals have this weekend
off from competition due to Yank-ton
College dropping their foot-ball
program. Bethel will face
Mankato State a week from
tomorrow there at 1:30 p.m.
