Reader enjoys book by kerosene lamp while "Doc" prepares yet another meal of beans and bread (Photos this issue by Curt Christensen.) "Depression House" dwellers adjust to life without luxuries by Laura Alden and Gayle Trollinger 16EN06 DEPRESSION HOUSE: LIFE IN THE 1930's "A study of history and culture of the Depression Era in Ameri-can History as it related especial-ly to the rural poor. An attempt will be made to create an authentic live and learn situation away from campus. Depression meals, crowded living condi-tions, appropriate reading, music from the era, and resource persons will be part of the student's experience. All the comforts of middle class prosper-ity will be abandoned as far as possible." Personal log: January 3, 1977 Our motto: "Life consisteth not in the abundance of things." That sounded trite before I saw this place. Extreme frugality has never been my experience or my ideal. But now, I'm "in the Depression" where if life did consist in the abundance of things, life wouldn't be much. The water pump sits bleakly erect in front of the house. The first time we pulled into the yard, it seemed like a sentinel, chal-lenging our approach. It was frozen; somehow that didn't surprise me, but it scared me. We wrap the pump in towels to keep it thawed out. The worst moment of culture shock occurred on the first jaunt to the outhouse. It wasn't exactly the intimate, insulated_ Aqua- John I expected. The draft and ice don't make for much comfort. Entry: I thought bedtime would come early here. But it doesn't. We stay up discussing, arguing, singing, teasing . . . Then we continued on p. 3 Bethel College St. Paul, MN January 21, 1977 Students comment on lifestyle; rules versus freedoms dicussed by Suzi Wells Recently, the Bethel lifestyle statement and what it has to say about a student's personal free-dom has been a major issue. Several students commented on how they felt about the expected lifestyle as stated in the Bethel catalogue. Sophomore Lorraine Krahn commented, "Theoretically, we shouldn't have any rules. How-ever, that's impossible because we are not all of the same maturity. Some of us need guide-lines." Other students felt guidelines Thanks to the efforts of Harold Christiansen, Eldridge Cleaver's 1:30 p.m. address on Friday has been opened to students for the price of $2.00 (Tickets for the men's lunch-eon preceding the address are $6.95.) The luncheon, at the Radis-son St. Paul Hotel, begins at 12:45 p.m.; the address is scheduled for 1:30. Tickets are now on sale at the college concession stand or from Carolyn Gilbert (ext. 6175) at the Seminary. Nostalgia insert pp. 5-8 were needed, not necessarily because of the maturity level of individuals, but because it is necessary for community living. "I thnk in a big institution there are certain rules that need to be followed so we can live harmoni-ously," said freshman Amy Ward. Junior Jonathan Pepper said, "For the community as a whole I think the statement helps keep up our atmosphere. We have to have something like that." Senior Carol Zeches added, "Guidelines are needed to func-tion as a community." Mary Spencer, junior, agreed, "In any type of community you have to establish rules." Mary went on to say that as students at Bethel, we should be subject to authority, in this case the authority of the lifestyle statement, and those who wrote it. "I'm not saying we need rules to do right," she emphasized, "but since people are basically sinful, we need rules to grease the joints, to make things go more smoothly." Stan Murach, sophomore, also believes the lifestyle may be necessary for a community, but not necessarily for him as an individual. "The lifestyle state-ment doesn't guide me, the Lord guides me," Stan related. "The lifestyle is meaningless; every-thing is subjugated to the Lord. If a set of rules have to guide you, something's wrong with your relationship with the Lord." Stan went on to say that he did not think he should go against these rules even -though they did not affect his relationship with God. One objection freshman Steve Hoswell had about the lifestyle statement is its ambiguity. "The way it's worded now, people can interpret it the way they want. Students should know exactly what is expected from them. Steve also disagreed with what the statement says about danc-ing. He felt the main reason the writers of the statement do not condone dancing is because they do not completely agree with places'students dance. "If this is true," he said, "why don't we have sock hops in the gym? I feel it would benefit the student body if Bethel had dances and stu-dents didn't have to sneak around." Amy agreed with Steve, saying, "I believe dancing is healthy, physically and mentally, provided you go about it with the right motive. Motivations are really important. Dancing is just anoth-er form of exercise." Amy also felt Bethel should have dances if the main objection was the atmosphere of the places where students dance. "It would be a good way to alleviate the prob-lem," she said. continued on p. 9 by Jeff McHenry The Bethel Bookstore is one of the favorite scapegoats for stu-dent criticism. The buy-back policies of the store, and ques-tions about the profit margin seem to be the most controversial areas of discussion. To determine if Bethel's book prices and services are compara-ble with other Twin City private college bookstores, we visited the Hungry Mind bookstore at Macalester. Mac's situation is a bit different from Bethel's. Due to student dissatisfaction with the school-operated bookstore, col-lege officials closed down their bookstore several years ago. Faculty members now take their book orders to one of two bookstores in the neighborhood. Macalester Park services most of the English, foreign language, religion needs. The Hungry Mind takes most of the rest. One of the owners of the Hungry Mind (Steve) explained that "we have a 'sweetheart' arrangement with Macalester. Mac provides us with building space at a very reasonable rate. In return, our financial books and invoices of the store are com-pletely open to any student or faculty member." Also, invoices from texts are taped up on the shelf where the book is located so the student can check the markup price for himself. Buy-back policies are well set at the Hungry Mind. Any text that is sold has the price stamped on the inside cover. If the text is returned unmarked during the semester, along with a slip from the registrar indicating that the class has been dropped, the student receives a full refund. If the book is returned after being used, and the book will be needed in some class the next continued on p. 9 Bookstore policies examined one The Clarion is published weekly by the students of #'e Bethel College.

James Montgomery Bolos Time magazine, December, 1969: "Not all the methods of revitalizing the urban scene are unconventional. In downtown Philadelphia the Rev. Dr. James Montgomery Boice, 31, has used an old-fashioned ministry of preaching and theology to inject new vigor into the fading, 140- year-old Tenth Presbyterian Church, just off Rittenhouse Square . . ." Thursday afternoon, Boice will seek to "inject new vigor" into a Bethel Founder's Week audience. The subject concerns Christian . service. Boice will address ques-tions vital to the future of quality Christian service organizations. Why are we not more effective? And how can we be? The principles to be considered are: assurance, knowledge, hard work and allowing all we do to be characterized by Christ's love. Dr. Boice has written numer-ous articles for Christianity To-day and Eternity magazines. His writings also include seven books. Sincerely, Jim Landis Founder's Week is upon us again. If you didn't know this, you'll know it by Monday, with the hall full of suspiciously old students, the parking lot full of suspiciously large cars, and the cafeteria full of suspiciously delicious food. For reasons beyond that of relief from the veal machine, we'd like to welcome our visitors to Bethel this week. These people support Bethel with their concern, their prayers, and, more crassly, their money, and thus they are very important to this college. And, in more ethereal terms, the founders are part of the spiritual Bethel, the Bethel that exists beyond the current collection of students. We extend to our visitors a sincere welcome and we hope that this week will be a meaningful one. • • • • • In terms of emphasis, we hope that the Founder's Week message is one of a well-rounded total Christianity. This would be a break from American conservative Christianity of the past half-century, which has almost exclusively centered on the concept of individual salvation. Its one-sided emphasis has meant a tragic neglect of the social aspect of the gospel, an aspect that permeates the very fiber of the New Testament. (e.g. the Sermon on the Mount, the goats/sheep parable). And so it is our hope that this truncated gospel will be rejected at Founder's Week for a more total (and more Biblical) Christianity. This task will be especially difficult for this gathering, considering its composition: upper middle class WASPs, members of the powerful and privileged sector of society. But it is crucial that this group transcends its enthnocentric limits and deals with problems such as world hunger, social and sexual discrimination, energy shortages, etc. This concern is a basic component in a well-rounded approach to Christian existence. It should be noted that this "sermonizing" is not just directed at the old "fat cats" of the Baptist General Conference. We, the students, are also charged with the responsibility of dealing with the total gospel and should not waste time pointing self-righteous fingers at the "post-Depression, hyper-reactionary, crassly capitalistic (ad nauseum)" establishment. We are also members of the privileged class, and as such have the same responsibility in attempting to overcome personal barriers in arriving at a "whole" gospel. Founder's Week provides a unique opportunity for the Bethel community (in its largest sense) to gain a deeper perspective of our Christian faith and practice. Hopefully, alumni, friends and students will take full advantage of this week, thus making Founder's Week, 1977, an important point of renewal for Bethel and the Baptist General Conference. Perpich: a refreshing change We never realized that it was such a stroke of good luck to have Wendell Anderson crown himself U.S. Senator. And it's not just because Wendy's daily showboating before TV cameras became tiring, or because Anderson could be retired from Minnesota politics in 1978 (possibly by Spannaus or Lord). No, the biggest surprise is Rudy Perpich. Although it's a little early to tell, he seems to be a people's governor who is concerned with the earthy problems of Minnesota (rather than being star struck with Washington). We applaud his concern in the power line issue, his crackdown on the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit, and his promise to put a woman on the Supreme Court. We hope this is not just a false flurry of activity, but is a good omen for Minnesota's future. Healy realizes Swanson value Dear Editor: I have had two personal reactions to Dan Swanson's last column (Clarion, December 10, 1976). My first reaction, of which I am now deeply ashamed, was characteristically wrong; my sec-ond was more rational, intelligent and fair. Let me highlight these two reactions for the purposes of clarification. My first response to Swanson's column was one of bitterness, anger, emotion and defensive-ness. Without thinking I said, "Oh boy, here's old M.K. Swan-son coming out with the inevi-table year's end cheap shots, knowing full well that we will be unable to respond for at least a month. This pitiful "attempt" at gonzo journalism stinks. Who does he think he is, cutting down Al Glenn, Wilcox, Troxel, Trol-linger, myself and country music (which he simply doesn't under-stand). Who cares if he's from Japan; does that make him an expert on the American political scene? Furthermore, who cares about Japan? Who, in fact, gives a darn what Danny Swanson thinks about anything . . .?" This feeling persisted within me for several days, maybe even a week. Then it hit me, with the force of a severe electrical shock. I had been playing the fool. For weeks I had been missing the whole point of Swanson's writ-ing, the essence of his journalis-tic intentions. I felt like the dummy who weeks after hearing a joke, finally "gets" it. It finally became clear to me. Dan Swan-son has been writing a humor column! Upon reflection I now realize that his column is an incredibly funny take-off on a stock, pseu-do- intellectual, small college po-litical column. His amazing parody of 1960's "get-out-the-vote" and "let's become con-cerned with the international scene" journalism is almost too funny. His cliche orientation and his quintessential "liberal" stance are pricelessly accurate in his subtle yet powerful attack on stupid, uninformed journalists. His continued use of parody, satire and irony is almost beyond belief. To be sure, his last column, of which I was a small part, was his crowning satirical achievement. His overstatement of a standard and trite "you can't see beyond your nose" theme, spiced with personal attacks upon straw dogs, was priceless. My only hope is that Dan Swanson will keep up the good work. Every good college should have a good student paper, and every good student paper should be so lucky as to have a humor columnist with the insight, crea-tivity, and satirical sense of a Dan Swanson. We all owe him a great debt. Sincerely, Paul Healy Landis rejects Taller legalism' Dear Editor: After reading Doug Tader's article, I was amazed that this kind of thinking still exists within Christian circles. Brother Doug was disturbed by the fact that some of the kids skated in a "dance-like" style. He then called us to re-evaluate our Christian positions. So I did just that. During the process of my re-evaluation I found that to single out one issue (like danc-ing) and in turn search all Scripture for a stance on that issue is nearly impossible and often meaningless. But I did find that we can reach a personal position on this issue (and issues like it) if we first deal with the deeper issue. That issue is "Was Christ the Author of Liberty, or was He not?" I believe that this question (however answered) is the foun-dation on which the other issues may be decided. This question takes on special relevance when asked during a semester like we've just come through. For this semester was one when life-style rules were tested and students were expelled. I am confident, Brother Doug, that in your times of Bible study you have never encountered mandates such as: # Thou shalt not dance. # Thou shalt not drink. # Thou shalt not use tobacco. # Thou shalt not attend movies. This is not to say that the Bible is silent on these issues, nor is it to make light of them. But it is to say that perhaps the Bible is not as "hardcore" as our up-bringings and the life-style rules under which we presently find our-selves. Perhaps the Bible leaves room for individual convictions. During this year's Festival of Christmas, I especially enjoyed one comment by the narrator. He said that ". . . the baby Jesus was/is not an incarnate don't." As the old hymn goes, "Free from the law, Oh happy condition!" We no longer have to be subject to a set of do's and don'ts. But we are to "stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free." (Ga. 5:1) On the otherhand, this liberty can have some serious problems if it isn't handled right. And with a school the size of Bethel there will be some who won't handle it right. So for the sake of the community (the college) the life-style rules (which inlcude dancing, drinking, etc...) are necessary. And it is for the sake of the college and "Him that is weak in the faith..." (Rom. 14:1) that maybe some of us shouldn't enjoy our roller-skating so much. Whether we are presently at-tending Bethel or whether we are graduated and gone, it's always important to keep in mind that neither the life-style rules nor a denominational statement of faith is our final authority in matters of life and practice. "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13) Welcome Founders...

Wendell Belew will conduct mor-ning and afternoon seminars on creative discipleship. Belew, dir-ector of Missions Ministries Division for Southern Baptist Home Mission Board, hopes to attack Christian reluctancy toward being creative disciples. As a creative disciple himself, Belew has an experiential back-log covering a multitude of professions — from pastoring a Baptist church to teaching school chemistry. He joined the South Baptist Home Mission Board staff in 1956, assumng his current posi-tion in 1971. Belew serves an adjunct professor at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has written five books. In 1974, Dr. Belew encouraged the American Bible Society to produce a translation of the Bible in today's English (during the Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas). Later, he received the 44th million copy of Good News for Modern Man. begin the ritual: 21 buff trips, washing out of buckets, climbing stairs and squeezing into our little cosmos . Before drifting off to sleep, we go through the Walton's good-night rite, complete with harmon-ica. It's corn, but we still do it. I think it makes us feel more "family." The guys "stretch out" (figura-tively) on cots in the living room. Mark (Dischinger) sleeps out on the porch with his pet icicle. Scott (Webb) tried to sleep there the first night but he bummed out when his pillow froze. And we have one cellar sleeper. He sleeps by the furnace. Doc sleeps alone in the kit-chen. First we thought it was because he wanted easy access to the food. Then he told us he was guarding it. Our two rooms upstairs are barely big enough. Five of us sleep in one room on one single bed, one double bed and the floor. It isn't bad once you get positioned right — except that you can't move very much. The second upstairs room is smaller. We like to think of it as cozy (crowded, but cozy). Five sleep in the smaller room too, on one double bed and a single. We stay warm, but the guys don't have it quite as comfor-table. They get cold at night. Chas (Swanson) gets up about 6:30 a.m .. and stokes the fire for everyone. When we wake up at 9 or 9:30, the house has warmed up from its 45 degree overnight temp. Entry: Doc Dalton is one of the most loving people I've ever met. Also one of the most sacrificial. It's hard to believe anyone would want to spend a wintery interim in an un-heated farmhouse in the Wisconsin woods with 20-stir crazy college kids. He says he's always wanted to make interim "different." He's succeeded. This is a total learn-ing experience: we're living the Depression while studying its social and economic history. We're getting little tastes of the era. But I agree with something Jill (Nicholson) said at supper — "The main difference in our Depression experience is that we know it'll be over in a few weeks." Entry: Crowded. I didn't know the house would be this small. 20 people living on top of each other. No deodorant or tooth-paste (technically). After all, they didn't have those luxuries during the Depression. The worst: no shower or tub. So, I'm glad the house is constantly filled with smoke. Entry: It's never quiet here. Even the lamps seem to make noise. It's hard to concentrate, to pray, to read. Entry: Books: texts on the Depression, Tobacco Road, Grapes of Wrath. I'm over-whelmed with the hopelessness of the Oakies' experience in Grapes. It's depressing to see lives so graphically painted with tragedy. It wasn't a television script to them. Entry: Free time. Risk, chess, checkers . . . reading, writing, lots of letters. We really crave letters ... Washing clothes takes up time too — especially washing jeans by hand. Entry: The monotony of the routine is a bit wearing — same food, same people, same books, same house . . . Sometimes we just have to get out of here. Five people were in tears today — I think it's from the tension of the closeness. We go for walks outside. The cold doesn't phase us anymore; we're used to it. In fact, it's invigor-ating. Going out is the only way to get breathing room, see any amount of uncluttered space or have private devotions. We play outside too — usually at night — usually in 'the cemetery. Hide and seek is fun for an hour. "Storytime with Elmo" is another healthy diver-sion. "There are no man's jobs or womens work categories" Entry: Mealtime is the best time of day. (Mail call runs a close second.) We eat on two tables that are L-shaped and covered with newspapers. We eat well ; at least we're never starving. It takes hours to prepare meals. We all cook. There are no "man's jobs" or "woman's work" categories. (We all chop wood, clean, haul water, peel, wash, stoke.) For breakfast we often have hot-cakes with molasses or fried potatoes. Sometimes we "get" to have fatback. We eat so late in the morning that we_don't usually have lunch. After Doc's disaster with the corn bread, we took over the baking. Most of the time, we have beans or potatoes as a main dish. Once and only once, we had pinto beans. They were definitely not the favorite dish we've had. In fact, pinto beans are the worst things I've ever tasted. But, they did serve one purpose: we now have a guaranteed laugh when-ever they're mentioned. (We're hoping to get rid of them at the church potluck because we can't throw any food out.) We drink instant milk; it's good — if it's cold (very cold)! Doc still brews his coffee (egg coffee — made from our store of freshly frozen eggs) and we also have tea,for the unenlightened. Entry: We're learning a lot from the food. Sometimes we laugh during the blessing. It's all very humorous, but I wonder if we really believe it's a blessing to have food like this. Entry: We're not always kosher here. Today we coerced Doc into letting us watch the Super Bowl in town. (It was great to go somewhere with indoor plumb-ing.) Doc rationalized it to us by explaining that "even during the Depression, people went to the `big house' now and then." No rationalization necessary. He was simply outnumbered 20 to one. Entry: Outings include church in Webster, Wis. We were the choir last Sunday. Our "anthem," such as it was, was "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Entry: Last week, four woods-men came to our door. I was amazed at their ragged dress and dirty appearance. They had rifles and said they'd been out shooting flying squirrels for food. I couldn't believe how destitute they seemed . . . We saw them in church last Sunday — all suited up in three-piece splendor. Entry: We went into town today. It's weird not being able to buy things. We were touching nice things — I really felt like a welfare case. This is beginning to hit where it hurts — my pride has been laid back completely. Entry: Even here, this is Bethel. We can't really get away from it, especially in our discussions. The subject at dinner tonight was typical of the Bethel cafeteria: should women be aggressive? Dating relationships, etc., are popular topics to talk about. We're all "brothers and sisters" up here, but there are some strong romantic undercurrents. I don't think you can get away from that — no matter where you are. Now and then, our conversa-tion hit a more esoteric level. We discussed the essence of virtue one night. But more often than not, topics are basic and earthy. We argue a lot about how cold it really is (40 or 41 below)? "We have to like each other for what we are because we obviously don't look fantastic." Entry: Today, Wendy (Hannah) said we don't hide anything here. (We can't.) We have to like each other for what we are because, as she said, "we obviously don't look fantastic." She's right. We can't wear make up; we wash our hair less; we wear clothes for days before washing them. I wonder if going back to Bethel will be an adjustment. We're in a different era, a different world. The competition will be hard to get used to again. Regaining my materialistic atti-tudes will be all too easy, I think. Entry: Mike (Anderson) says he'd like to live this way forever. But people living in the Depression didn't have lifestyle options. They were just concerned with staying alive. Entry: Our group has become family. Devotions are a special time. Sitting around the table after supper, we take turns leading discussions. Doc adds much-needed insights to these sessions. It's kind of comforting — the kerosene lamps flickering, Doc's voice gently droning, the sound of Al (Steier) stoking . . . I wonder if this feeling of spiritual closeness and our exper-iences of personal growth will be more than a "camp high." Will it last after this month is over? (This log was constructed from the writers' observations during a three-hour visit at Depression House.) three IIP 'At 17,000 students including 200 Bethel students attended Urbana '76 over Christmas vacation. In my opinion: Urbana leaves vision, challenge by Larry Caldwell and Paul Berry Urbana has changed our lives. We don't know whether this is because we are seniors looking to graduation or whether we have reached a certain age but some-how we feel our lives have changed. We believe Urbana '76 had a fundamental part in that change. Essentially the change caused us to have a much more serious outlook on life — to feel an urgency — a time to quit playing games and get down to business with God. How did God use Urbana to effect these changes in our lives? In two basic ways. First in our response to Christ and our individual relationship to Him and second, since Urbana was a student missionary confer-ence, in our sense of mission to the world. First of all, what we have captured through Urbana and want to pass on to you is a renewed realization of the unwar-ranted love God has for us. That God in all His glory has chosen us and is right now our loving Father. And as a response to this we want to return His love. The only way to properly do this is to spend time alone with God each day. It seemed that each speaker at Urbana had a life founded upon a basic need for private time alone with the Lord each day. This is not "speaker worship" but simply acknowledging the tremendous power of the Spirit in their lives — a power which can be just as great in our own lives if we let it. The key to this is daily Bible study and prayer. This daily quiet time with God leads to a deep sense of security in Christ, a profound sense of joy in the Lord, and a tremendous desire and responsibility to min-ister God's love to the rest of the world. This brings us to the second aspect of Urbana which grows out of the first, namely, that of "declaring God's glory among the nations" — the theme of Urbana. We must come to the realiza-tion that the Great Commission is not something to be done by some other person, but it is something which must be ful-filled by all of us who call ourselves Christians. It grows out of the desire to share with others what we have found in Christ. And what we feel we must share with the Bethel community from Urbana is the sense of urgency to do God's will and carry out the Great Commission. Each one of us must let Him use us to establish His Kingdom both here in our immediate surroundings and in our minis-tries outside Bethel, locally, nationally, and globally. This global outreach must have just as high of a priority as our local ministries do. Through all this we must realize that this is not America against the world but that it is the whole international body of Christ carrying out the Great Commission in all its global implications. In practical terms this means we must be constantly uplifting our brothers and sisters in Christ overseas in prayer—being cogni-zant of their needs, desires, sufferings, joys, and sorrows as they minister to the world in their particular situations. In all of this, recognizing that they too are lifting us up in prayer and that they are intimately involved in God's work here in America through their prayers. Above all, we must realize that along with this commitment to the Great Commission there inevitably comes the privilege to suffer for Christ's sake. If we are going to commit ourselves to Christ, we are making a going commitment to suffer for His name. And yet through this suffering we must endeavor to bring the love of Christ to everyone. So in conclusion, Urbana is calling us to a radical commit-ment to Jesus Christ. We must lay aside every weight which would hinder us and bring all areas of our lives under subjec-tion to Christ. We must become single-minded in our goal to let Christ live in our personal lives and through our lives to reach others for His glory. May God give us the grace to carry through.

At the barber shop, man is always in touch with man. But after visiting one of the new "styling salons" sometime ago, I had no recourse but to admit that the true barber shop is doomed to the same sort of obscure absolescence that has made the fallout shelter a thing of the past. A cursory glance around the lobby revealed several changes at the outset. First of all, instead of the bald, affable, thick-fingered barber, we now have several young (nevertheless balding) flower-shirted, well-cologned, high-heeled, mustachoed "stylists" who have their shirts unbottoned down to the middle of their torsos, and wear an expression on their faces that seems to say, "If you could just look like me you could get a date with any girl you wanted to." But there are also the physical surroundings. Two things strike the potential stylee as being conspicuously absent from any establish-ment that hopes to qualify as a bona fide barber shop. First, there are no copies of "Argosy" or "Field and Stream" lying around on the end tables. It's not that I enjoy reading either magazine. It's just that trusting your hair to a barber who doesn't carry "Argosy" or "Field and Stream" is a bit like trusting your car to a gas station without a girlie calendar or trusting your teeth to a dentist who doesn't have bad breath. Certainly I am not condoning pornography or halitosis. It is just that these situational clues give you a sense of security, a sense of security the styling salon lacks. In place of "Field and Stream" we now have magazines about hair replete with pictures of different styles and articles about hair weaves and transplants all designed to play upon the frailty of the male ego. It should also be noted that whereas the walls of the old barbershop were covered with pictures of people fishing and people hunting, we now just have pictures of hair. And shelves that were once filled with bowling trophies with people's names on them have yielded to shelves that are now stacked with what might best be termed "PH paraphanalia." "PH balance" appears to be the panacea for just about any hair problem. This is evidenced by the fact that everything on the shelves, from the natural bristle brushes to the follicle fertilizer, bears the proud label: "PH Balanced." But all of the above is merely a taste of some of the cosmetic differences between the barber shop and the styling salon. The real difference is in the personality of the barber verses that of the stylist. The barber could shoot the breeze on just about anything from the latest Gopher game to the weather to why the mayor is a "bum." All the stylist knows is hair. His whole world revolves around hair. Where the barber cut people's hair, the stylist just cuts hair. Consequently, a conversation with a stylist is nothing less than inane. My visit to the stylist was no exception. "Mr. Tim" was smoking a long, thin cigarette and had short hair combed straight back. After I somewhat naively told Mr. Tim that I just wanted a little cut off so my hair wouldn't hit me in the eyes, he protested; "Boy, I could do some nice things with your hair." "Yea, well, I'm sure you could but "Where did you hear about us?" "Well I . . ." "Now you don't just want a hair-cut do you? I mean, you do want a style don't you?" "No." "How about a brush cut?" "No thanks." "A fluff cut?" "No!" "A razor cut maybe?" "Listen ace, will you just cut my . . ." "Boy, I could do some nice things with your hair. Where do you usually get your hair cut?" "I usually just have a friend cut it off." "Yea, well that's your problem. You're going to love this. Have you ever had a wet cut before?" "A what?" I shouted as Mr. Tim started hosing down my hair. He tried desperately to convince me I needed a "wet cut." He showed me continued on p. 11 GAL-CON EARAE - S'Nucr JIM • DAVE • DENISE Tuesday - Friday 8 - 6 Saturday 8 - 5 For Appointment Call 1713 N.

May 7, 1959 NORTH CENTRAL ACCREDITATION! by Carol Christensen Bethel was given unqualified accreditation by the North Cen-tral association Friday, April 24. With North Central Association accreditation Bethel receives na-tional recognition as a standard four year liberal arts college. Bethel now possesses inde-pendent academic status; for-merly the college was dependent on the University of Minnesota, Clifford Larson, dean of the college, said. Regional accreditation, which is granted by the North Central Association in this area, is "essential because it represents full standard recognition and places Bethel on the level with other schools in the United States," Dr.. Larson said. April 30, 1971 In historic press conference AGREEMENT SIGNED November 11, 1964 BODIEN COUNCIL CLARIFIES RULES; STIFFENS POLICY Last Thursday the Bodien Dorm Council decided to "crack down" on the rule which "nor-mally expects" freshmen girls to be in their rooms by 11 p.m. on week days. Freshmen girls are now required to be in their rooms by 11 p.m. on week days. Because a greater percentage of upper class women live in Hagstrom and each room has its own washroom facilities, the enforcement in Hagstrom will remain as liberal as it has in the past. This change in the enforcement policy of the rule will not affect the upper class women living in Bodien. Study hours will be from 2 - 5 p.m. and from 7 - 10 p.m. The hour from 10-11 will be designated "washroom hour." February 17, 1965 AUTHOR, MISSIONARY ELLIOT APPEARS HERE THIS WEEK March 21, 1968 CONSTRUCTION STARTS MAY 1 Groundbreaking for three stu-dent residences on the Arden Hills campus is slated for May 1, it was announced early this week. The ceremony will kick off an intense period of construction involving more than $1.5 million in funds. Besides the residence build-ings, plans for the start of construction on the seminary chapel and student center were also approved by the Board of Education. The projected date of completion of residences is the opening of the '68 fall semester. This thrust forward in the relocation program was spurred by an anonymous gift of $500,000. The offer carries the stipulation that a dormitory is to be constructed and occupied in 1968. The gift will be used to build a college residence containing both a wing for women and a wing for men, with a common lounge. Its completion will help alleviate the current student housing problem. Shuttle bus service is anticipated for trans-porting students to the college campus from Arden Hills until the relocation program is completed. These 'four pages of nostalgia were selected to provide students with a sense of Bethel's past and our alumni with sentimental reminisc-ings. October 7, 1964 COLLEGES CONSIDER SHARING FACILITIES by Bernie Johnson Currently under study by cer-tain faculty and administration at Bethel is a totally new concept in educational co-operation. The plan calls for an association of two or three independent col-leges united in one complex and sharing certain centralized fea-tures, occurring in areas such as advanced study, sciences, library facilities and athletics. At the present time three evangelical colleges in the Twin Cities, Bethel, Northwestern and St. Paul Bible, are planning large scale expansion programs. The proposed idea would provide for a centralized association of these three colleges on one site. While remaining independent they would contribute collectively to such things as an advanced study library, a science complex and athletic complex. Whereas no single school could provide a fully adequate science building, the three schools collectively could do so. April 1, 1958 JESSUP WILL HEAD SENATE Dwight Jessup was elected president of the 1958-59 student senate by a majority vote in the election March 21. Other officers elected were Milt. Holmquist, vice-president, Gerry Wilber, recording secretary, Mar-ilyn Swanson, corresponding secretary, and Evan Rogers, treasurer. All received a majority vote. Three hundred ninety-six votes were cast, 346 from the college and 50 from the seminary. March 29, 1974 KRONHOLM SAGA RELATED AT SEMINARY PRESS CONFERENCE Bethel Seminary was the scene of a national press conference March 20. The occasion was the safe return of Mrs. Eunice Kronholm, former Bethel school nurse, who was kidnapped the morning of March 15. Mrs. Kronholm was accompanied at the conference by her husband, Gunnar, and other members of her family. Gunnar Kronholm, president of Drovers State Bank in South St. Paul, is also a part-time teacher (business) here at Bethel and a member of the President's Associates, an advisory committee to President Lundquist. At the press conference Mrs. Kronholm related, for the first time, the accurate details of her abduction. Briefly: Friday morning (March 15), as Mrs. Kronholm was getting into her car for a hair appointment, two men wearing snowmobile masks grabbed and tied her, forcing her into the back seat of her car. Following this came hours and hours of driving, part of which she spent in the trunk. The kidnappers contacted Mr. Kronholm at the bank, informing him that they had his wife, and that they wanted $200,000 for her safe release. Mrs. Kronholm was then transferred to a "room" which is now believed to have been a vacant house at 1204 Echo Drive in Burnsville. Sunday night Mr. Kronholm, after driving more than a hundred miles through and around the Twin Cities, dropped off the $200,000, probably at an abandoned picnic area near Burnsville. At 10 a.m. Monday morning the abductors had promised to notify Kronholm of his wife's whereabouts, but this did not come to pass. Monday afternoon the FBI announced that James William Johnson had been arrested and charged with extortion in connection with the kidnapping of Mrs. Kronholm. During all of this Mrs. Kronholm tried to talk her way to freedom. She reasoned with the abductor, reminding him that one suspect had been taken and that the FBI was sure to be on his trail. He was mulling the possibility of freeing her when she said, "OK, I am going" and ran out the door. She flagged down a car, which took her to a store, where she called her husband. The next day was spent in seclusion, prior to her Wednesday morning press conference. The faith and courage of the Kronholms was a beautiful witness for Jesus Christ. We join others in thanking God for the safe return of Mrs. Eunice Kronholm. February 26, 1959 COLLEGE, SEM TO VOTE ON SEPARATION Next Friday the vote for dividing the Bethel Student Asso-ciation into two separate govern-mental units will be held from 10:30 to 2 p.m. College students will - vote in the lounge and seminary students will vote in the seminary lounge. A two-thirds majority of the ballots cast is required to pass this proposal which will amend the constitution of the Bethel Student Association. This amendment would enable each student body to reorganize its government. A joint committee would be created to handle areas of common interest. "We are delighted," said Dr. "He is no fool who gives what Carl H. Lundquist, president, in he cannot keep, to gain what he a formal press conference Tues- cannot lose." This maxim, which day, April 27, "to announce that serves as the motto for the in this centennial year, the BGC's LIFT program, is from highpoint will be the beginning of the pen of martyred missionary to construction of educational facil- the Auca Indians of Ecuador, Jim ities in Arden Hills."

November 27, 1963 ASSASSIN KILLS KENNEDY; CAMPUS HOLDS MEMORIAL Bethel joined the rest of the world in mourning the assassination last Friday of President John F. Kennedy. Nik Dag festivities Saturday night and classes Monday were cancelled in honor of the dead leader. Tuesday morning during chapel period the college and seminary held a joint memorial service in the fieldhouse. October 1, 1954 LUNDQUIST BEGINS PRESIDENCY Carl H. Lundquist is a familiar name to most Bethelites because he has been active in Conference work for the last ten years. He served on the Board of Home Missions from 1945 to 1953 (as chairman from 1951 to 1953), as acting Executive Secretary of the Board of Trustrees of the Conference, and other responsible positions. Administrative responsibilities had their beginning back his high school days. First he headed his church young people's groups. Then he was chosen president of the South Dakota Young People's Society. Perhaps the climaxing experience was his appointment to the presidency of the Student Association of Sioux Falls College. Coupling this background with ten years in a pastorate (Elim Church, Chicago) has made President Lundquist keen to the needs of young people setting out in full-time service for Christ either as ministers and missionaries or as laymen. Last January he joined Bethel's faculty as acting dean. From then on, the Lundquists had a part in all school activities, ranging from basketball games to banquets. In the crowd at the Student Center, the youthful (37 years of age) president can easily be mistaken for a student. President Lundquist, young in years but mature in experience, and God-guided throughout his entire life, is God's man for the job. five Our Reasons For A Merry Christmas December 14, 1949 letters to the editor Bethel Institute COMPRISING Bethel Academy and Theological Seminary 1480-1492 North Snelling Avenue ST.

ARVID HAGSTROM, Presidini, BETHEL INSTITUTE 1480-1492 No. Snelling Ave., St. Paul, Minn. 1921 editorials — Sept. 17, 1976 COMMENTS ON CROWDING Editor: Bill Trollinger To say that Bethel suffers from an overcrowding problem is a little like saying New York City suffers from fiscal mismanagement. The obviousness of the fact makes the statement inane. The packed facilities, the student complaints (protests that are publicly echoed by the Student Association leaders), and the newspaper coverage of the situation all but make it impossible for members of the Bethel community to be unaware of the problem. One aspect of our crowded situation is found in the student housing program (which has been thoroughly discussed in the paper). Of course, part of the problem is that Student Affaris and Housing got caught in a squeeze, having planned on Old Campus being sold. But, still, a choice was made. As Miss Starr asserted last week, and Mack Nettleton reiterated this week, the present housing policy is that it is better to stuff (our word) the students into New Campus/Old Campus housing rather than use a format such as that which was used at Nob Hill last year. (The Nob Hill plan was, basically, student apartment living which was partially subsidized by the College.) We strongly disagree with this policy. The argument that the girls felt isolated is highly over-emphasized, and if isolation was a problem, it was probably due to Bethel's seeming disregard for these students as members of the on-campus community. Well, that's past history. The Board of Regents are examining the apartment idea this week. We hope the decision is a favorable one, and that the situation is improved as soon as possible. November 4, 1960 LET'S MARCH FOR FREEDOM AND HUMAN DIGNITY ON NOV. 8 Editor: L.E.B. We join with Tim Jenkins in asking you, now that there is a call from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for the support of students all over the country for the success of its Election Day project on Nov. 8, to examine the total picture of voting rights violations. Such demonstrations should occur on Election Day beginning at 4 p.m. and continuing through the supper hour. They will involve a march to a central polling place or the State Capitol. There should be a brief picket and a street meeting. We hope that the students of Bethel College will not sit idly by at this time, but will join with students across the nation and in the Twin Cities in this march for freedom and human dignity. August 19, 1964 BETHEL MAY DISAPPOINT STUDENT EXPECTING UTOPIA Editor: June Erickson So you are going to a Christian college. Just what do you expect it to be like? Do you think that because Bethel is a community of Christian people that it is a Utopia? It isn't. Don't be disappointed when you discover that the Bethel community has problems like any other community. The students who come here and the people who work here may be Christians, but they are also humans. Students who have studied at Bethel will tell you that Christian growth often seems harder and slower at Bethel. You will discover the difficulty of Christian living at Bethel when you find yourself substituting habitual chapel attendance for genuine personal devotion to God. Now you might be expecting Bethel to be no different than any other college even if it is a Christian school. Bethel is unique because of its Christian commitment. May 1, 1967 (CARRION) COLLEGE-CONFERENCE RIFT RESOLVES IN MEETINGS Perhaps the most serious problem facing the Bethel family is the increasing alienation from its constituents, and as everyone knows, such trends can lead to critical misunderstandings. Though the horizon of answers is initially bleak, there is a bright spot. The only answer to the problem is staging Founder's Week every week of the school year. The advantages of this are overwhelming. Prime advantage of this would be the improvement of the menu at the Bethel cafeteria. The intellectual atmosphere of the school has seen a marked decline since the departure of the Founder's Week delegates. To maintain the sharp scholarly nature of classes a return of the delegates is necessary to revita-lize the sagging progress of classes. We don't know how the above evidence warrants our initial statement, but as we always say, FOUNDER'S WEEK MUST DO SOMETHING RIGHT! May 1, 1958 CONFUSING MUDDLE? Dear Editor: Bethel has a code of language which is a confusing muddle of slang. The use of slang around school has been excused by some by the explanation that they do not use slang in public. But can we continue to use slang around school and not use it in public? Isn't our slang just a modifica-tion of profanity which we think Christians can use without trans-gressing the third command-ment? "If we don't use this casual talk, kids off campus will think we're a bunch of religious duds," is the argument often quoted. When incorrect speech is not acceptable in the Lord's eyes, isn't it our duty as Christians to use correct speech? And shouldn't we regard what the Lord thinks of us as being more important than what others think of us? We should remember that our Christian testimony is reflected in our talk. N.W.U.R. October 5, 1961 FROST REACT TO PERSON'S VIEWS ON CIVIL DEFENSE BERLIN CRISIS Dear Editor: In response to the article in the Clarion, "Is Berline worth a nuclear war?" my emphatic an-swer is no! There is absolutely no desire in me to be killed or maimed for life for a group of people I have never seen, will never see, or care anything about at all. Nor do I wish to spend money for Civil Defense, used to heighten my fears, that I could spend for "a new motor boat or what not." In fact, to me the whole arms race is quite ridicu-lous. War is nearly inevitable; therefore my personal opinion is to get them before they get us. The best defense is a good offense. Gerald Egge Nov. 7, 1961 U.S. MUST WIELD NUCLEAR THREAT AGAINST RUSSIA Dear Editor: Many people seem to believe that our testing nuclear weapons (or our standing firm in Berlin and elsewhere) will lead to war. However, history has shown us that unless we stop the Russians and unless we let the Russians know we mean business, they will continue their march toward world conquest and supression of millions which is as bad as war. If we will continue to be the strongest military power on earth, including in the field of nuclear weapons, and if we will be more firm than we have even been before against the Russian enslavement of men and minds, there will then be no war, and less people will suffer the oppres-sion of Russian terrorism. Our nation is not up against just another "cause" or "ism," but against a Satanic power. Harvey Nelson October 24, 1975 HAALAND SURRENDERS LECTURE TIME Dear Sir: I see where I have been given February 10, from 6:30-6:31 for my lecture on "The Wit and Humor of Chuck Haaland" (Clar-ion: October 10). Obviously I will not need this entire time, so I would like to donate whatever I don't use to Marshall Shelley. Sincerely, Chuck Haaland October 25, 1968 CHANGING VALUES? Dear Editor: Last year student discount cards were carefully edited to remove all cinemas and liquor-serving restaurants; this year the discount cards were sold uncut, and the bookstore is now giving away an offer of free pipe tobacco. Is tobacco less sinful than the cinema? Or is the bookstore less influencial than the Student Association? Or have we seen an evolution of and a readjustment of values? Sincerely, Leonard Ray Sammons October 8, 1976 G.W. CARLSON BLASTS ROYALTY Dear Editor: Here We Go Again! The return of the Bethel royalty. The king and queen have returned from their exile status and have recaptured the throne. I guess the Marable Morgan woman is alive and well — and as a result the whole school has been totalled. I wish the cynics and demo-crats would have won out and we elected Doc's dog as the number one attraction. At least we could only be accused of dog chauvin-ism. Since when do Christians judge people by their sexual attractiveness and outward ap-pearance (both male and female)? This is an affront to the main-stream testimony of Christ who is interested in the whole person and whether his disciples give testimony of the fruits of the Spirit. Sincerely, G.

Across from Harkins Playground Mi 4-4633 April 26, 1975 SHOES AND SHIPS AND SEALING WAX by David J. Healy I went to see Russ Johnson again, to see if he was still the same. I wondered if some of his mystique had been left upstairs in the old College Building, where the smell of formaldehyde oozed from the very walls and the blood of a thousand fetal pigs stained the floor, where the odor of death was masked only by Russ's everlasting plants. I've harbored a soft spot in my heart for Russ ever since he gave me a B in General Biology. As is usually the case with required courses, previous few tidbits of knowledge survive from my Gen. Bio. days. But I do remember Russ Johnson, with his boundless enthusiasm, his incredible spontaneity, and his unashamed love for God's creation. And so I went back to see if it was still there. The first few minutes of class were given over to reminding students of the greenhouse project. Then, with characteristic abandon, Russ departed from the syllabus to talk about flowers. As he delved into the mysteries of petal, pistil, pollen, and parthenogenesis, I marvelled again at the man's irrepressible spirit. After decades of teaching and dozens of springs, he still approaches each April with the contagious excitement of youth and manages somehow to produce the same enchantment in even the most unlearned observer. Perhaps no one deserved our move to this campus more than Russ. After laboring for years on a few acres of hard ground with its carefully cultivated flora, at last, in the twilight of his career, he is surrounded by the wild things he loves. God has revealed Himself to man through His Word, both written and living : the Bible and His Son. But God also reveals Himself through nature. And that makes Russ Johnson the greatest evangelist I've ever heard. March 8, 1974 FAST SET FOR TUESDAY; STOOKEY TO PLAY HERE IN WEDNESDAY BENEFIT by Steve Harris Her eyes are large and brown. Staring emptily, they silently call for help. These are the eyes of a small African child as she clings in vain to her frail mother's milkiess breast. These are the eyes of a child who is slowly starving to death. Thousands of miles and many cultures away, the eyes are bright, the music is enjoyable, the conversation is relaxed. Peo-ple have filled a college field-house to capacity on a winter's night to enjoy the sounds of Noel Paul Stookey and others. How are these very dissimilar scenes related? They will be very much related as this Wednesday night, March 13, Bethel College's Student Senate African Relief Project will present a benefit concert featuring Stookey, Mike Monroe, Phil Kitchen, and Jay and Gail Caress. All proceeds from this concert are being donated to aid that little girl, and millions of her brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers, all across famine-plagued West Africa. September 10, 1976 BOOKSTORE MANAGER OF 14 YEARS DIES AFTER BATTLING CANCER by Diane Gonzalez Returning students fondly re-member him as "Bargain Bob," a determined businessman. But Bob Bergerud will be remem-bered as a concerned Christian as well. On Wednesday, August 25, at the age of 53, Robert Bergerud went to be with his Lord. He died as a result of lung cancer. During his 53 years:Bob led a busy, dynamic life. After gradu-ating from Augustana College in Illinois, he continued his educa-• tion at Bethel Seminary. For the next 17 years he pastored four different churches. In 1962, Rev. Bergerud took over as manager of the Bethel College and Seminary Book-stores. Lois, his wife, said that "Bob considered his job a call from God. He felt that was as much a call as from a church." He enabled the bookstores to grow from $75,000 to $335,000 in annual operations. "He tried to run the store as efficiently as he could," commented Mrs. Ber-gerud. "I received a letter from the bookstore saying how he worked hard — over and above that which he 'had to do.' He expected the kids working there to put out a lot because they were doing it for Christ, not just for a paycheck." September 30, 1964 STUDY BODY ENROLLMENT EXCEEDS THOUSAND MARK Unofficial tallies from the registrar's office indicates that the Bethel College and Seminary enrollment will be well over the 1,000 mark when the official Count is made tomorrow. More then 900 full and part-time students will be attending the college, while seminary figures stand at 105. March 21, 1965 BETHEL'S CORNER ON NOSTALGIA; SIP IT WITH YOUR COFFEE Tucked into a corner of Beth-el's structural maze of glass-lined corridors, winding stairways, and numbered mailboxes, is Doc Dalton's "Coffee Corner," and for the hundreds of students and faculty who mecca there daily, the pleasure it offers goes far beyond the basic menu of coffee, tea, and cookies. It is an experi-ence in Bethel nostalgia. The Corner, in reality an extension of Doc's second floor, Academic Center History office, was born in another era of Bethel history, an era that Doc wants to help students remember.

The Edgren Dorm Party entertained a capacity crowd estimated at over 150 people. Bright spots in the evening's entertainment were Dave Shupe, and the "Sinners," including Ken Bell, Gary Wagner, Steve Roe, with a folk song repertoire and the perennial Leonard Sammons and his inimitable versions of "More," "World Without Love," and "Count Me In" backgrounded by the "Repulsives," composed of Gaylord Anderson, John Grif-fiths, Lyn Hanson, and Jerry Tarman. September 13, 1968 BETHEL ENDS TWO YEAR SEARCH FOR DEAN Two year's search for a new full-time college academic dean came to an end on July 2 when Dr. Virgil A. Olson was approved by the Baptist General Confer-ence at its Davenport, Iowa annual meetings to take over the post at the opening of this school year. The former Bethel Seminary professor of church history and missions earned the appointment after nomination by a committee meeting combining the adminis-trative council of the Board of Education with three college faculty members, and approval by both the full board of education and delegates to the Davenport meetings.

Schulz, their creator, in a special Clarion-sponsored meeting. Mr. Schultz, an active Christian layman, will relate how "Peanuts" has come into its present place of drawing-board prestige and pop-ularity from an obscure begin-ning, and of how the message of Christianity relates itself to car-tooning.

Dr. King will address the group on the general topic of Race Relations at the morning convo-cation. In the evening he will speak on the topic, "Paul's Epistle to Twentieth Century Christians." May 13, 1964 SEMINARY CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES ON JULY 1 The woods and hills around Lake Valentine were alive all winter with the drone of power saws and the pounding of axes which were clearing the new seminary site, where building is scheduled to begin in July. The seminary complex will be located in a small valley which is about three-quarters of a mile from the main road. The hills surrounding the area are the highest on campus and command an expansive view of Lake Valentine. Six buildings will constitute the seminary plot. On July 1 of this year, new crews with heavy equipment will begin seminary construction. The small crew of four who worked over the winter will be joined by a maze of men and machines that will rapidly transform the area into the new campus. October 15, 1976 SENATOR HATFIELD ON CAMPUS OCT. 22 by Holly Schmiess U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield, a radically Christian Senator, will spend a morning here next Friday. "A Morning with Mark Hatfield" will be sponsored by the Chris-tian College Consortium, with Bethel's Student Association hosting the senator. President Lundquist and repre-sentatives from the political science division, student govern-ment, and the Clarion will meet Hatfield during an invitational breakfast. Classes will then dismiss early for a 90-minute chapel beginning at 9:45. The Republican Senator from Oregon will address the assembly and answer questions. It's that time of year again, when Income Tax forms must be filled out, and I am presently trying to analyze my entire financial situation.

Jack Dear Jack: Jack, I would strongly suggest that you look into the possibility of expanding your portfolio, above and beyond your blue chip investment securities, to include the solidity and virtual non-inflationality of gold and white chip opportunities. Indeed, your biennial yield return will show a marked downslope in terms of recessionary revenue and your equity revenue will need some capital readjustment in terms of market expenditure, but you must remember that you are paying much capital interest for such short-term, risk-oriented securities.

Editor February 15, 1952 "B" CLUB BARS LETTER SWEATERS At their January 29 meeting, members of the Bethel "B" Club passed a resolution that reads, "No letter awards from any school other than Bethel shall be worn on campus by any student." According to Phil Carlson, presi-dent of the organization, many of the colleges in the land have the same ruling. He says, "I hope all students will cooperate in this regard. Recently, the club has sent to the athletic committee of the school a proposal for the revision of the athletic award system. The essence of the proposal is to change the letter style, giving a red letter with a white border on a red background for major sports. Acceptance of the proposal would also eliminate all emblems on letters except for captain and manager designations. The old style letter, red with a white background, would be awarded in minor sports. The members also decided to wear dark red wool jackets with grey leather sleeves to designate them as 'B' Club members. March 8, 1974 ROYALS TOP TRI-STATE; SO DO RAIDERS, BRAVES by Curtis Kregness As Tri-State Conference bas-ketball competition concluded last week, the Bethel Royals had the dubious honor of being' in first place. Excitement at Bethel was not forthcoming, as one might expect, for Sioux Falls and Northwestern College could also claim that distinction. The frustrating three-way tie (each team had eight wins and two losses in conference play) was finalized last Tuesday as Sioux Falls handed Northwestern of Iowa its second overtime defeat this season, 82 to 80. Sioux Falls was also responsible for Northwestern's other loss earlier in the season, 84 to 83 in overtime. Similarly, Northwest-ern accounted for Bethel's two conference losses, and Bethel twice downed Sioux Falls. Yank-ton and Concordia College occu-pied second and third place, respectively. November 13, 1962 BETHEL EDGES MORRIS 21-19, EARNS BEST SEASON RECORD by Bill Carlson Bethel's football team cli-maxed its best season in history with a 21-19 victory over the University of Minnesota at Morris last Saturday. The Royals fin-ished with a seven and one record. November 5, 1976 ROYALS WIN STUNNING ST. OLAF CONTEST by Bruce Olsen The Bethel football team showed once and for all that they are capable of playing in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athlet-ic Conference (MIAC), as they demolished powerful St. Olaf 20-0. The Oles had lost only one game prior to the loss against the Royals and are tied for second in the MIAC. February 25, 1971 THE HOT CORNER by Rich Zaderaka I'm not trying to make excuses for the disappointing weekend the Royals had in the Lea Invitational Tournament, but I've seen better officiating at funer-als. The refs were unbelievable. They blew more whistles than the Northern Pacific. They didn't know whether to call traveling or goal tending. They called a quick ten second violation several times, but when the big guys pitched tent in the lane, they never got called for three sec-onds. Maybe they had the rules mixed up? March 8, 1962 SPORTSCOPE by Rick McNamara Basketball road trips usually mean a good time, even when a team wins only one of nine road games.

May 21, 1963 ATHLETE'S CRITICIZE COLUMN'S TRACK, INTRAMURAL IDEAS Dear Editor, Yes, spring is here and with it spring sports, including track. Yes, we do have a track team. The students haven't heard much about them this year? It's proba-bly because they aren't interested enough in Bethel to find out what its track team is doing. The tremendous turnout at the trian-gular meet with Stout State and River Falls was greatly appreci-ated. Both of our sports fans, two Bethel "lovelies," had to assist in regulating the meet because of the apathy of the Bethel "men." The student body can't even get enough men out to act as officials, let alone provide the depth needed to win a meet. May 7, 1976 DOTEN ROLLS ON TOWARDS AMAZING SEASON by Bruce Olsen Until last weekend's baseball game with Westmar College, Tim Doten had achieved the limits of superstardom, amassing a record that most pitchers would dream of in their sleep. His statistics included a perfect 5-0 record, only five walks, 40 strike-outs, and a blistering 1.00 earned run average. March 3, 1960 BETHEL AND NORTHLAND SHARE BGC CHAMPIONSHIP Bethel College and Northland College of Ashland, Wis., have completed the basketball season with identical conference records and therefore share the Badger Gopher Conference champion-ship. Bethel ended the confer-ence season Monday, Feb. 22 by defeating Pillsbury, 78-51. North-land finished the season by defeating Lakeland College last Saturday night. Both teams com-piled 9-1 records for the confer-ence seasons. September 21, 1961 SCHOOL SPIRIT SOUGHT: WELCOMING STAFF PRAISED Dear Editor: Pardon me if I sound repeti-tious, but its that littlest spirit of all again — and I can't find him anyplace. This little fellow surely likes to hide from college students. Not because he doesn't like them but because they don't like him. They seem too sophisticated and ma-ture to get excited over and involved in a ball game. Even the cheerleaders can't find him in their slowly-moving pep yells. Would everyone look for him? He just wants to feel needed and wanted. Joy Malmquist February 15, 1974 WITZGALL NOW 15-1, RECORDS FASTEST PIN by Tim Benhardus Fred Witzgall set a new school record as he pinned Concordia's 177 pound wrestler in 15 sec-onds. The crowd almost missed the match completely as the quickness of Fred paid off and he recorded his fifth pin of the year. The pin helped Bethel take what was a close match and turn it into a runaway 33-15 victory over Concordia St. Paul. September 25, 1970 ROYALS WIN FOOTBALL GAME AFTER TWO-YEAR DRY SPELL The Bethel Royals football team plays host to Northland College at 1 :30 p.m. tomorrow at Midway Stadium, after breaking a 19-game losing streak on a road trip to Sioux Falls College, S.D. last Saturday. The scoring for Bethel, in the 13-6 fight, was done by quarter-back Dave Pearson on a three-yard sneak and on a 20-yard pass from Pearson to split end Steve Conklin. October 5, 1967 PAST CLARIONS PRESENT INTERESTING BAROMETER OF HOMECOMING TRENDS viAn array of Clarion Homecom-ing issues dating from 1957-to the present may be valuable in providing an index to general trends on Bethel's campus. The college presently appears to be in the midst of a downward course with respect to elabora-tion and ceremonial. The peak of the period from which we are unwinding was reached in 1958 when the Royals boasted a royal family complete with king, queen and freshman sweetheart. Approach to this 1958 peak was begun in 1946 when titles which hinted of "royalty" were awarded some deserving pair of Bethelites. These titles were "host" and "hostess. 1959 marked the beginning of an "iconoclastic age," with a dethronement of the kind and the establishment of a matriarchal rulership. Within a few years of this action, the freshman sweet-heart met with extinction, leaving a figurehead queen as the single titled person. One will note that the above progression has been defined in terms of 'upward' and 'downward' claiming for the present period a point on the downward scale. In some minds, however, the labels for this progression may be just the reverse. A de-emphasis in the play-up of royalty being the desired course of events. A de-emphasis upon royalty and ceremonial may indeed be advantageous for the college as a whole. Though not necessarily true, the de-accent may corres-pond with a greater stress on academics, intellectualism, and inter-personal communication. Such logic would obviously place Bethel at an all-time high in the march of progress. eight Ann Kismet "You just can't stop love. It crushes barriers. It breaks and builds bridges. It finds a way through. It never gives up. It's hard work. It listens. It walks ten extra miles. It's something you do. Jesus did it for me. He died to set me free. He lives to share my life with me and I go to His and my people and love wins." (From I'm out to change my world) Ann Kiemel, dean of women at Eastern Nazarene College and author of two books, will offer her theories for living at the women's luncheon, January 28 at the St. Paul Radisson (12:45-3:00 p.m.). She is described as "just an ordinary young women who really believes that the world can be changed — one person at a time."

Students extend warm welcome to Interim visitors Commencement planning commences by Nancy Naumenko The sight of unfamiliar faces has become a familiar sight to the majority of "Bethelites" since the beginning of this month. This is hardly surprising, since we've gained 97 people — 60 transfers and 37 exchange students. The exchange students arrived from Westmont, Augustana, St. Catherines, Dana, Augsburg, Gustavus Adolphus, Tabor, St. Benedict's, Macalester, Barring-ton, Hamline, and St. John's. The new students also include trans-fers, readmits, freshmen, and special students. Their reasons for coming are as varied as their locations were last Books, continued from p. 1 semester, the bookstore will pay 50 per cent of the marked price. The book is then remarked at 70 per cent of the marked price and put back on the shelf to be sold again. Mark-up on new texts is more or less predetermined by the publisher's recommended price. A book which costs the student $10 has cost the bookstore $8. Trade books (non-texts) are a bit more lucrative. A $10 trade book will have cost the bookstore $6. This, too, is set by publishers. The Hungry Mind does give students a 4 per cent discount on these trade books, which in effect amounts to absorbing the sales tax. However, Mac's bookstore does not deal in such goods as sweatshirts, mugs, novelties and cards. Nor does it carry art supplies or bathroom supplies. The Bethel Bookstore does supply these items. As a matter of fact, gifts and novelties are what keep the store going. These items are served as a convenience to the students and as a source of profit, for the Bookstore marks up these prices more than is done with books. But the lack of volume reduces the percentage of profit. Bethel's textbook mark-up is the same as Mac's. (Anyone wishing to check this is encour-aged to look in the copy of "Books in Print" located on the desk in the center of the store). The trade book cost is not the same, in that Bethel does not provide a 4 per cent discount. In terms of buy-back policy, a paperback which can be used again in a class is bought back at 50 per cent of the price you paid, and sold back at 66 per cent. On reusable cloth texts, buy-back is at 66 per cent of your cost, and semester. Transfer junior Jim Schultz says, "I wanted to come to a college where I wouldn't be just a number and where I would get a Christian education." Inter-im exchange student Dale Ken Knight is here to "learn about Bethel's college life so that I can make a wise judgment in trans-ferring here." Others came be-cause of the influence of friends or the availability of classes. The new students have been aware of us also and have been forming their own impres-sions. Interim exchange student Diane Kath states the general impression: "I think that every-body I've met so far has been really friendly!" the book is resold at 75 per cent. Books that will not be reused are subject to publisher's list price. Students who bring back- an unmarked book after dropping a class will be given a full refund if they return a book within fire days of the last day to add a class and if they bring their receipt. Refund is 90 per cent without a receipt. After the five day period, buy-back rates revert to the used book rate. The reason given for this short return period is that the bookstore has only 30 days to return texts. Mary Fuller states that "One of my goals is to make sure more people are aware of bookstore policies. Next year I hope to prepare for distribution some sort of a policy statement." Fuller also asserts that putting invoices on the shelves (a la Mac) would be time-consuming and, there-fore, costly — a cost the students would eventually have to pay. Mack Nettleton, Dean of Stu-dent Affairs, comments that "it is my feeling that, in the long run, the bookstore will break even. Gains in some years are sup-posed to be counterbalanced by losses in other years." In at-tempting to investigate the degree to which the Bethel Bookstore meets this goal, it was discovered that obtaining exact profit figures from the Bookstore or from the Business Office is a very difficult procedure. So far the most recent figures that were attainable were those for the year ending April 30, 1974. In that year the profit margine was $14,261 on receipts of $242,931 — a margin of 5.4 per cent. Profits made by the Bookstore are plowed back into Bethel's General Fund. Thus, Mary Fuller asserted that "the Bookstore has no motive for making a profit." Most students, though, felt that they were required to make the first move in getting to know people. As Dale Ken Knight states : "It's not hard to get acquainted if you want to. If you don't really want to, you won't make friends anywhere." One upperclassman felt that living on new campus makes it difficult to get to know others who are not freshmen. All seemed to feel, however, that once introduced, people were very friendly. Another visitor's immediate reply to his first impression was "It's cold!" Cold it has been, but hopefully veteran students will continue to extend a warm welcome to our new students. Lifestyle, continued from p.1 Mary did not feel this would be a solution to the conflict some students have. "I'd be really disappointed if Bethel had dances," she said. "It's a way of conforming to the world's stan-dards." Although many students do not agree with the lifestyle, they do conform to it. "Even though I do not completely agree with Bethel lifestyle as it is stated now, I feel obligated to live by it," Steve said. Another student, junior Bill Whittaker, has no conflict. "I have no problem living within the guidelines of the lifestyle," he said. Seeing a need for the rules, he added, "We wouldn't need a set of rules if we lived by love, but we don't. People are not always considerate of others, so we need a few minimal rules." by Gary Setterberg Even though it appears that we will be enduring a long, hard winter, a dozen or so Bethel seniors are already contemplat-ing thoughts of spring. When they are not dreaming of sunny skies and warm breezes, they are making plans for the graduation of 275 Bethel seniors at the 1977 Bethel College Commencement Exercises. Earlier this year, Student Asso-ciation President Pete Taylor notified seniors (via the P.O.$) of the opportunity to serve on a baccalaureate and cornmence-ment planning committee, to plan and coordinate graduation activities of this spring. As a result, approximately twelve se-niors responded. They are pres-ently working, with the assis-tance of their administritive liason, Dwight Jessup, to devel-op a significant and meaningful weekend of activities for the graduating class. At present, the committee is preparing to finalize the program for both the baccalaureate and commencement services. Se-niors' suggestions, which are continually being sought and are very welcome, should be directed to the student association office. Dr. Virgil Olson, regents pro-fessor and former vice president and dean of Bethel College, now executive secretary of world missions for the Baptist General Conference, has accepted an invitation to deliver the bacca-laureate address on Sunday, May 22. No commencement speaker has as yet been named, but announcement is expected within a few weeks. nine Larry Matthias, Bruce Nordeen, Amy Ward delve Into the fantasy world of The Hobbit'.

Munger Robert Munger, professor of evangelism and church strategy at Fuller Theological Seminary, will conduct a seminar on "Guidelines for Congregational Evangelism in a Secular Society," during the Thursday and Friday morning seminar slots next week. The seminar will consider a few of the biblical concepts basic to developing effective evangelism through the local church. Munger will address the question: "With fields ripe for harvest how do God's laborers go about gather-ing in His harvest?" Munger is an active conference speaker, author, and radio and television minister. He has served Presbyterian pastorates in Los Angeles, Berkely, 'and Seattle. Review Porter's 'Anything Goes' at Chanhassen Dinner Theater tasteful, successful by Dawn Hart Spiked with energy, color, style and dance, Cole Porter's brilliant musical score for Any-thing Goes has been cleverly and tastefully revived at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. This truly entertaining play was first produced on Broadway in 1934. Paramount Film Studios quickly filmed the hit in 1936 when Director Lewis Milestone cast Bing Crosby in the lead role. As in Crosby's style, Chanhassen has picked up the beat, and the cast dances its way across the stage and into the hearts of the audience. Chanhassen's show is both professional and disciplined, yet the exuberant energy which is apparent lends a free, easy appearance to the production. Anything Goes takes you aboard the luxury liner, Ameri-can, as it sets out on an Atlantic voyage from New York to Lon-don. On board are various high society seekers. Reno Sweeny and her Angels, a singing group on tour; Billy Crocker, an honest New York business man ; and Moonface Martin, a murderer who is ranked as America's public enemy number thirteen, join ranks during the voyage. The plot follows the love story of Billy and Hope Harcourt; the love affair of Reno and Sir Evelyn Oakleigh; the mistaken identity of Billy as Scarface, Public Enemy Number One; and the escapades of Moonface Martin. Interspersed with musical interludes, dance Renaissance music group Mu-sic Antigua will be appearing at Bethel on Saturday, February 12 at 8 p.m. in the fieldhouse. The performance, a rug concert, is being co-sponsored by the music department and campus-coordi-nators. In recent years, audiences have discovered the sparkling delights of renaissance music. Musica Antigua has emerged as one of the foremost groups of this kind. Patterning themselves after the court musicians of renaissance Europe, the ensemble offers a wide variety of the unusual instrumentation of the period. numbers, and comic scenes, all events work to create a happy ending. In keeping with professional-ism, Chanhassen has created a unique attractive set. Combining the pleasing aesthetics of color coordinated costumes, pleasing lighting, good stage pictures, and a carefully chosen cast, Chanhassen offers a visual spec-tacle. For the theatre lover, Anything Goes offers an unforgettable theatre experience. The permeat-ing enthusiasm creates a spirit of participation, a feeling of belong-ing. Over all, the show was pro-duced and directed in good taste. Costumes were stunning and carefully coordinated with the set, the mood, the era, and for the cast. For the religious enthusiast, however, language may be a problem, as might be the "revival" meeting scene which was a bit over-played. Chanhassen Dinner Theatre not only offers a great theatre experi-ence, but serves a pre-show meal which can be thoroughly enjoyed. "We intend our production of Anything Goes to be the revival of a young old thing, not a sweet antique. The power and energy of the human body singing and dancing is not nostalgia and certainly not camp." Gary Gissel-man, producer/director explains in his program notes, "It is the product of the live performance. Celebrate the message: 'pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again!' " Krummhorns, kortholts, viols, dulcian, rankett and recorders are among the instruments heard in concert. Music Antigua was organized in 1969 by musicians who had been performing informally in the Twin Cities for several years. The ensemble specializes in medieval and renaissance music performed on authentic replicas of instru-ments of the period. The ensem-ble has appeared extensively in the Upper Midwest, principally at colleges and universities. The program includes selec-tions by William Cornish, William Byrd and Henry Purcell. school age. The play is produced by Paul Siemers. This is the second production this year for Paul, the first being The Importance of Being Earnest. Bilbo the hobbit is portrayed by Amy Ward while Bruce Bohne is cast as Gandalf, the Wizard, and Larry Matthias plays Thorin the egocentric dwarf. The Hobbit is a children's play, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't appeal to children of all ages. When the stage lights go up Wednesday night, we will all be drawn into the kaleidoscopic world of J.R.R. Tolkien. by Dan Erickson All the pounding and sawing and sanding and drilling coming from the experimental theatre this month is designed to do more than just ruin your diges-tion. It is a collection of goblins, hobbits, elves, dwarves, and a dragon or two preparing Mirk-wood Forest, the Shire, goblin's caves and many other imaginative places. All will be ready the nights of the 26th and 27th when the drama department, and the Children's Theatre class in particular, are proud to present The Hobbit, an adaptation of the book by J.R.R Tolkien. Tolkien's classic adventure into fantasy has long been a favorite among Bethel students and facul-ty, and the members of the cast hope to capture much of the adventure and fun. The class is concerned with not only putting on the children's play, but also in trying to develop a complete background in .children's theat-rics and creative dramatics. Grade school children from the Mounds View and Roseville area will be bussed to view the production on the 24, 25 and 26 of January.

An Egingelical Church which is just a little it diffexexttt Kevin Hallstrom named to All-America football team by Bruce Olsen To be named first team all- American is an award rarely experienced by most football players. For senior Kevin Hall-strom it marks a highpoint in his career that has seen many awards come and go. Hallstrom, a 5'10" 170 pound defensive back, has started for four years on the Bethel team. In 1974 and 1975 he was voted most valuable defensive back on the Royal squad. At the end of the 1975 season he was named by his teammates to be a captain for the 1976 season. This year he was named to the all-conference team, the all-district team, and finally to the National Associa-tion of. Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II first team all-American. Hallstrom's all-American per-formance included 12 intercep-tions, establishing a new Bethel record. He also established a Bethel record with 22 career interceptions. Hallstrom originally came to Bethel in 1973 intending to play basketball. It was his best sport in high school, so he intended to carry it over into college. But the insistence of Coach "Chub" Reynolds, plus his excel-lent high school record (named to the all-conference team two years straight), led him to the gridiron in his freshman year. It is a move that Hallstrom has never regret-ted. Kevin attributes much of his success to Steve Payne, defen-sive backfield coach for the Royals. "Coach Payne has helped a lot," said Hallstrom. "He has a good football mind and is one of the best coaches around." "Of course (Coach) Chub (Rey-nolds) has helped a lot too," continued Hallstrom. Kevin went on to say that Reynold's direction as head coach and his support for the players made it easier to play well. The always-modest Hallstrom was not sure if he was the best candidate for the award. "I was real surprised when I was named to the all-American team," said Kevin. "I still don't think I deserve it. There were three or four other players on the team who deserved it as much as me." "But I'm sure it's good for the school," continued Hallstrom. He believed that having someone from Bethel being named all- American will help the school's reputation as a football power. Hallstrom believed the game against St. Olaf was "definitely my best game. It was the best game of my life. Everything went right." straight year. For most of those four years he has been the lead-off man for the team. Kevin's daily 100 percent out-put has brought him many rewards, including those in the classroom. He hopes to enroll this fall at the University of Minnesota to study dentistry. Hallstrom's all-American per-formance can be seen in his life both in the classroom and on the athletic field. He is one athlete who well deserves the title of all-American. Wrestling, continued from p.12 Coach Bill Heaton said the team had a rough day, but did all right under the circumstances. The team is 4-3 in dual meets on the season. In a triple-dual meet before Christmas, the team showed what they could do if they "put it all together." They beat two teams and lost to one. Presently, the team is ham-pered with some injuries, and two wrestlers are gone for interim. The schedule ahead looks tough, but everyone should be back in February. Jake Huizenga is still recovering from an injury, but he is moving around better now and hopes to be back by February. "The team is young, they'll get tougher with some experience," said Coach Heaton. "They're taking their licks this year, but if they stick at it, they'll be a good bunch of wrestlers." There are four freshmen and two sophomores on the team this year, and only one senior. "The team gets along good ; they're good to work with ; they'll improve." That's the coach's views, so the future seems to be a little more optimistic. Basketballers beat Hamline, face Macalester tonight by Gayle Trollinger The women's basketball team met Gustavus (here) on January 6. The two teams were closely matched and Bethel squeaked by the visiting team by one point, 58-57. On January 8 St. Benedicts out-rebounded Bethel to a four to one ratio and swept past the Royals, 82-39. "We were flat, our offensive game was poor," Coach Karyl Frye noted. Hamline and Bethel met on Thursday, January 13 at Hamline. Bethel dominated the entire game and won by a substantial margin, 58-27. Bethel began the game with a series of steals and forced jump balls. Bethel's full court zone press intimidated Hamline and forced sloppy passing and poor ball handling. Although Bethel's 3-2 defense dominated Hamline, the home team continued its "man to man" defense throughout virtually the entire game and was never able to use it successfully. However, Bethel lacked coor-dinated offensive plays, but Hamline's sloppy defense was a small deterrant to even the most poorly executed play. The officials called an amaz-ingly tight game and many calls were disputed by both players and coaches. Forty-five fouls were called on the teams as well as numerous traveling violations and jump balls. Hamline scored 13 of its 27 points on free throws, while approximately 25 percent of Bethel's points were on free throws. Coach Frye feels the team has definitely improved. "The fresh-men are willing to work hard. We have started working intensely on our defense and there have been positive results." The players hope to also "develop a man to man defense, but at this point don't have the finesse to pull it out." Frye added that although the defense is improving, the offense "still needs a lot of work — especially in the rebounding." Bethel has some interesting and potentially tough games ahead. Tonight they will precede the men's basketball game at 5:30 p.m. as they meet Macales-ter (here). They have soundly defeated Mac in a previous game; however, Frye was not satisfied. "Both teams played a messy game. We're looking forward to a cleaned up game." Bethel will also meet St. Olaf on January 25, St. Mary's on January 27 and a strong Concordia team on January 29. In the St. Olaf game Hallstrom recovered one fumble, was in on eight tackles, and intercepted two passes. He returned one pass for a touchdown. More impor-tantly for Hallstrom, they upset highly-regarded St. Olaf by a score of 20-0. Thought by many to be Beth-el's finest athlete, the soft-spoken Hallstrom continues to perform magnificently on the athletic field. This spring he will be starting at second base on the baseball team for the fourth In Hardwood Groves, continued from p. 4 some pictures right out of a mid-60's high-school health book to represent the old "dry type" of cut. He then showed me a picture of Robert Redford to show me the kind of look the wet cut would give me. "Now which one do you want to look like?" Naturally I didn't want to look like the last survivor of the "Leave It To Beaver" era, so I finally acquiesced to the "wet cut." "In a few years there won't be such a thing as a dry cut. Everything will be a wet cut. I'll bet it makes you nervous to see all this hair falling off doesn't it?" "To be quite frank, it certainly . . ." "Well, you don't need alot of hair to make hair look long. You're going to love this." "Now, how long do you want this? About this long?" He put his hand to the middle of my ear. "Actually I wanted it just a little longer . . ." "Oh don't be silly. It's going to look better short like this." "Hey listen pal. I'm paying good . . ." "Boy you're really going to love this. I could really do some nice things with your hair if you'd let me." An urbanely cautious conversation continued until Mr. Timm was finishing. He then explained the ritual he thought I was going to go through every morning to get my hair ready. "I don't have two hours every morning to stand in the john and tack-comb' my hair!" "Well why didn't you tell me. I would have given you a permanent." After he tried to sell me a $10 bottle of PH Balance Alkaline Neutralizer.

The meet was a nine team invitational. Each wrestler competed against all eight wrestlers in his class. The matches were short-ened to get them all finished with each match consisting of two one-and-a-half minute periods. In addition, the meet was all take-downs. This means that the wrestlers fight until one gets a take-down, then he must estab-lish immediate control or they stop and start over standing up. The Royals faced some tough competition, notably St. John's University, Willmar Junior Col-lege, and Lakehead College from Canada. St. John's took first place, Willmar and Lakehead tied for second. Bethel placed sixth out of the nine teams. Jeff Zitzloff put in a good performance, taking first in the 177 pound class. He finished with six wins and two ties for the day.

We at the Clarion (your newspaper), in the public interest, have dedicated ourselves to providing you with an updated list of athletic terms.

"Depression House" dwellers adjust to life without luxuries by Laura Alden and Gayle Trollinger 16EN06 DEPRESSION HOUSE: LIFE IN THE 1930's "A study of history and culture of the Depression Era in Ameri-can History as it related especial-ly to the rural poor. An attempt will be made to create an authentic live and learn situation away from campus. Depression meals, crowded living condi-tions, appropriate reading, music from the era, and resource persons will be part of the student's experience. All the comforts of middle class prosper-ity will be abandoned as far as possible." Personal log: January 3, 1977 Our motto: "Life consisteth not in the abundance of things." That sounded trite before I saw this place. Extreme frugality has never been my experience or my ideal. But now, I'm "in the Depression" where if life did consist in the abundance of things, life wouldn't be much. The water pump sits bleakly erect in front of the house. The first time we pulled into the yard, it seemed like a sentinel, chal-lenging our approach. It was frozen; somehow that didn't surprise me, but it scared me. We wrap the pump in towels to keep it thawed out. The worst moment of culture shock occurred on the first jaunt to the outhouse. It wasn't exactly the intimate, insulated_ Aqua- John I expected. The draft and ice don't make for much comfort. Entry: I thought bedtime would come early here. But it doesn't. We stay up discussing, arguing, singing, teasing . . . Then we continued on p. 3 Bethel College St. Paul, MN January 21, 1977 Students comment on lifestyle; rules versus freedoms dicussed by Suzi Wells Recently, the Bethel lifestyle statement and what it has to say about a student's personal free-dom has been a major issue. Several students commented on how they felt about the expected lifestyle as stated in the Bethel catalogue. Sophomore Lorraine Krahn commented, "Theoretically, we shouldn't have any rules. How-ever, that's impossible because we are not all of the same maturity. Some of us need guide-lines." Other students felt guidelines Thanks to the efforts of Harold Christiansen, Eldridge Cleaver's 1:30 p.m. address on Friday has been opened to students for the price of $2.00 (Tickets for the men's lunch-eon preceding the address are $6.95.) The luncheon, at the Radis-son St. Paul Hotel, begins at 12:45 p.m.; the address is scheduled for 1:30. Tickets are now on sale at the college concession stand or from Carolyn Gilbert (ext. 6175) at the Seminary. Nostalgia insert pp. 5-8 were needed, not necessarily because of the maturity level of individuals, but because it is necessary for community living. "I thnk in a big institution there are certain rules that need to be followed so we can live harmoni-ously," said freshman Amy Ward. Junior Jonathan Pepper said, "For the community as a whole I think the statement helps keep up our atmosphere. We have to have something like that." Senior Carol Zeches added, "Guidelines are needed to func-tion as a community." Mary Spencer, junior, agreed, "In any type of community you have to establish rules." Mary went on to say that as students at Bethel, we should be subject to authority, in this case the authority of the lifestyle statement, and those who wrote it. "I'm not saying we need rules to do right," she emphasized, "but since people are basically sinful, we need rules to grease the joints, to make things go more smoothly." Stan Murach, sophomore, also believes the lifestyle may be necessary for a community, but not necessarily for him as an individual. "The lifestyle state-ment doesn't guide me, the Lord guides me," Stan related. "The lifestyle is meaningless; every-thing is subjugated to the Lord. If a set of rules have to guide you, something's wrong with your relationship with the Lord." Stan went on to say that he did not think he should go against these rules even -though they did not affect his relationship with God. One objection freshman Steve Hoswell had about the lifestyle statement is its ambiguity. "The way it's worded now, people can interpret it the way they want. Students should know exactly what is expected from them. Steve also disagreed with what the statement says about danc-ing. He felt the main reason the writers of the statement do not condone dancing is because they do not completely agree with places'students dance. "If this is true," he said, "why don't we have sock hops in the gym? I feel it would benefit the student body if Bethel had dances and stu-dents didn't have to sneak around." Amy agreed with Steve, saying, "I believe dancing is healthy, physically and mentally, provided you go about it with the right motive. Motivations are really important. Dancing is just anoth-er form of exercise." Amy also felt Bethel should have dances if the main objection was the atmosphere of the places where students dance. "It would be a good way to alleviate the prob-lem," she said. continued on p. 9 by Jeff McHenry The Bethel Bookstore is one of the favorite scapegoats for stu-dent criticism. The buy-back policies of the store, and ques-tions about the profit margin seem to be the most controversial areas of discussion. To determine if Bethel's book prices and services are compara-ble with other Twin City private college bookstores, we visited the Hungry Mind bookstore at Macalester. Mac's situation is a bit different from Bethel's. Due to student dissatisfaction with the school-operated bookstore, col-lege officials closed down their bookstore several years ago. Faculty members now take their book orders to one of two bookstores in the neighborhood. Macalester Park services most of the English, foreign language, religion needs. The Hungry Mind takes most of the rest. One of the owners of the Hungry Mind (Steve) explained that "we have a 'sweetheart' arrangement with Macalester. Mac provides us with building space at a very reasonable rate. In return, our financial books and invoices of the store are com-pletely open to any student or faculty member." Also, invoices from texts are taped up on the shelf where the book is located so the student can check the markup price for himself. Buy-back policies are well set at the Hungry Mind. Any text that is sold has the price stamped on the inside cover. If the text is returned unmarked during the semester, along with a slip from the registrar indicating that the class has been dropped, the student receives a full refund. If the book is returned after being used, and the book will be needed in some class the next continued on p. 9 Bookstore policies examined one The Clarion is published weekly by the students of #'e Bethel College.

The Oregon Extension The Oregon Extension offers 15 semester hours of college credit in southwestern Oregon's Cascade mountains. For information write: Dr. Douglas Frank The Oregon Extension Trinity College Deerfield, Illinois 60015 (Trinity College is a member of the Christian College Consortium.) James Montgomery Bolos Time magazine, December, 1969: "Not all the methods of revitalizing the urban scene are unconventional. In downtown Philadelphia the Rev. Dr. James Montgomery Boice, 31, has used an old-fashioned ministry of preaching and theology to inject new vigor into the fading, 140- year-old Tenth Presbyterian Church, just off Rittenhouse Square . . ." Thursday afternoon, Boice will seek to "inject new vigor" into a Bethel Founder's Week audience. The subject concerns Christian . service. Boice will address ques-tions vital to the future of quality Christian service organizations. Why are we not more effective? And how can we be? The principles to be considered are: assurance, knowledge, hard work and allowing all we do to be characterized by Christ's love. Dr. Boice has written numer-ous articles for Christianity To-day and Eternity magazines. His writings also include seven books. Sincerely, Jim Landis Founder's Week is upon us again. If you didn't know this, you'll know it by Monday, with the hall full of suspiciously old students, the parking lot full of suspiciously large cars, and the cafeteria full of suspiciously delicious food. For reasons beyond that of relief from the veal machine, we'd like to welcome our visitors to Bethel this week. These people support Bethel with their concern, their prayers, and, more crassly, their money, and thus they are very important to this college. And, in more ethereal terms, the founders are part of the spiritual Bethel, the Bethel that exists beyond the current collection of students. We extend to our visitors a sincere welcome and we hope that this week will be a meaningful one. • • • • • In terms of emphasis, we hope that the Founder's Week message is one of a well-rounded total Christianity. This would be a break from American conservative Christianity of the past half-century, which has almost exclusively centered on the concept of individual salvation. Its one-sided emphasis has meant a tragic neglect of the social aspect of the gospel, an aspect that permeates the very fiber of the New Testament. (e.g. the Sermon on the Mount, the goats/sheep parable). And so it is our hope that this truncated gospel will be rejected at Founder's Week for a more total (and more Biblical) Christianity. This task will be especially difficult for this gathering, considering its composition: upper middle class WASPs, members of the powerful and privileged sector of society. But it is crucial that this group transcends its enthnocentric limits and deals with problems such as world hunger, social and sexual discrimination, energy shortages, etc. This concern is a basic component in a well-rounded approach to Christian existence. It should be noted that this "sermonizing" is not just directed at the old "fat cats" of the Baptist General Conference. We, the students, are also charged with the responsibility of dealing with the total gospel and should not waste time pointing self-righteous fingers at the "post-Depression, hyper-reactionary, crassly capitalistic (ad nauseum)" establishment. We are also members of the privileged class, and as such have the same responsibility in attempting to overcome personal barriers in arriving at a "whole" gospel. Founder's Week provides a unique opportunity for the Bethel community (in its largest sense) to gain a deeper perspective of our Christian faith and practice. Hopefully, alumni, friends and students will take full advantage of this week, thus making Founder's Week, 1977, an important point of renewal for Bethel and the Baptist General Conference. Perpich: a refreshing change We never realized that it was such a stroke of good luck to have Wendell Anderson crown himself U.S. Senator. And it's not just because Wendy's daily showboating before TV cameras became tiring, or because Anderson could be retired from Minnesota politics in 1978 (possibly by Spannaus or Lord). No, the biggest surprise is Rudy Perpich. Although it's a little early to tell, he seems to be a people's governor who is concerned with the earthy problems of Minnesota (rather than being star struck with Washington). We applaud his concern in the power line issue, his crackdown on the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit, and his promise to put a woman on the Supreme Court. We hope this is not just a false flurry of activity, but is a good omen for Minnesota's future. Healy realizes Swanson value Dear Editor: I have had two personal reactions to Dan Swanson's last column (Clarion, December 10, 1976). My first reaction, of which I am now deeply ashamed, was characteristically wrong; my sec-ond was more rational, intelligent and fair. Let me highlight these two reactions for the purposes of clarification. My first response to Swanson's column was one of bitterness, anger, emotion and defensive-ness. Without thinking I said, "Oh boy, here's old M.K. Swan-son coming out with the inevi-table year's end cheap shots, knowing full well that we will be unable to respond for at least a month. This pitiful "attempt" at gonzo journalism stinks. Who does he think he is, cutting down Al Glenn, Wilcox, Troxel, Trol-linger, myself and country music (which he simply doesn't under-stand). Who cares if he's from Japan; does that make him an expert on the American political scene? Furthermore, who cares about Japan? Who, in fact, gives a darn what Danny Swanson thinks about anything . . .?" This feeling persisted within me for several days, maybe even a week. Then it hit me, with the force of a severe electrical shock. I had been playing the fool. For weeks I had been missing the whole point of Swanson's writ-ing, the essence of his journalis-tic intentions. I felt like the dummy who weeks after hearing a joke, finally "gets" it. It finally became clear to me. Dan Swan-son has been writing a humor column! Upon reflection I now realize that his column is an incredibly funny take-off on a stock, pseu-do- intellectual, small college po-litical column. His amazing parody of 1960's "get-out-the-vote" and "let's become con-cerned with the international scene" journalism is almost too funny. His cliche orientation and his quintessential "liberal" stance are pricelessly accurate in his subtle yet powerful attack on stupid, uninformed journalists. His continued use of parody, satire and irony is almost beyond belief. To be sure, his last column, of which I was a small part, was his crowning satirical achievement. His overstatement of a standard and trite "you can't see beyond your nose" theme, spiced with personal attacks upon straw dogs, was priceless. My only hope is that Dan Swanson will keep up the good work. Every good college should have a good student paper, and every good student paper should be so lucky as to have a humor columnist with the insight, crea-tivity, and satirical sense of a Dan Swanson. We all owe him a great debt. Sincerely, Paul Healy Landis rejects Taller legalism' Dear Editor: After reading Doug Tader's article, I was amazed that this kind of thinking still exists within Christian circles. Brother Doug was disturbed by the fact that some of the kids skated in a "dance-like" style. He then called us to re-evaluate our Christian positions. So I did just that. During the process of my re-evaluation I found that to single out one issue (like danc-ing) and in turn search all Scripture for a stance on that issue is nearly impossible and often meaningless. But I did find that we can reach a personal position on this issue (and issues like it) if we first deal with the deeper issue. That issue is "Was Christ the Author of Liberty, or was He not?" I believe that this question (however answered) is the foun-dation on which the other issues may be decided. This question takes on special relevance when asked during a semester like we've just come through. For this semester was one when life-style rules were tested and students were expelled. I am confident, Brother Doug, that in your times of Bible study you have never encountered mandates such as: # Thou shalt not dance. # Thou shalt not drink. # Thou shalt not use tobacco. # Thou shalt not attend movies. This is not to say that the Bible is silent on these issues, nor is it to make light of them. But it is to say that perhaps the Bible is not as "hardcore" as our up-bringings and the life-style rules under which we presently find our-selves. Perhaps the Bible leaves room for individual convictions. During this year's Festival of Christmas, I especially enjoyed one comment by the narrator. He said that ". . . the baby Jesus was/is not an incarnate don't." As the old hymn goes, "Free from the law, Oh happy condition!" We no longer have to be subject to a set of do's and don'ts. But we are to "stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free." (Ga. 5:1) On the otherhand, this liberty can have some serious problems if it isn't handled right. And with a school the size of Bethel there will be some who won't handle it right. So for the sake of the community (the college) the life-style rules (which inlcude dancing, drinking, etc...) are necessary. And it is for the sake of the college and "Him that is weak in the faith..." (Rom. 14:1) that maybe some of us shouldn't enjoy our roller-skating so much. Whether we are presently at-tending Bethel or whether we are graduated and gone, it's always important to keep in mind that neither the life-style rules nor a denominational statement of faith is our final authority in matters of life and practice. "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13) Welcome Founders...

Wendell Belew will conduct mor-ning and afternoon seminars on creative discipleship. Belew, dir-ector of Missions Ministries Division for Southern Baptist Home Mission Board, hopes to attack Christian reluctancy toward being creative disciples. As a creative disciple himself, Belew has an experiential back-log covering a multitude of professions — from pastoring a Baptist church to teaching school chemistry. He joined the South Baptist Home Mission Board staff in 1956, assumng his current posi-tion in 1971. Belew serves an adjunct professor at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and has written five books. In 1974, Dr. Belew encouraged the American Bible Society to produce a translation of the Bible in today's English (during the Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas). Later, he received the 44th million copy of Good News for Modern Man. begin the ritual: 21 buff trips, washing out of buckets, climbing stairs and squeezing into our little cosmos . Before drifting off to sleep, we go through the Walton's good-night rite, complete with harmon-ica. It's corn, but we still do it. I think it makes us feel more "family." The guys "stretch out" (figura-tively) on cots in the living room. Mark (Dischinger) sleeps out on the porch with his pet icicle. Scott (Webb) tried to sleep there the first night but he bummed out when his pillow froze. And we have one cellar sleeper. He sleeps by the furnace. Doc sleeps alone in the kit-chen. First we thought it was because he wanted easy access to the food. Then he told us he was guarding it. Our two rooms upstairs are barely big enough. Five of us sleep in one room on one single bed, one double bed and the floor. It isn't bad once you get positioned right — except that you can't move very much. The second upstairs room is smaller. We like to think of it as cozy (crowded, but cozy). Five sleep in the smaller room too, on one double bed and a single. We stay warm, but the guys don't have it quite as comfor-table. They get cold at night. Chas (Swanson) gets up about 6:30 a.m .. and stokes the fire for everyone. When we wake up at 9 or 9:30, the house has warmed up from its 45 degree overnight temp. Entry: Doc Dalton is one of the most loving people I've ever met. Also one of the most sacrificial. It's hard to believe anyone would want to spend a wintery interim in an un-heated farmhouse in the Wisconsin woods with 20-stir crazy college kids. He says he's always wanted to make interim "different." He's succeeded. This is a total learn-ing experience: we're living the Depression while studying its social and economic history. We're getting little tastes of the era. But I agree with something Jill (Nicholson) said at supper — "The main difference in our Depression experience is that we know it'll be over in a few weeks." Entry: Crowded. I didn't know the house would be this small. 20 people living on top of each other. No deodorant or tooth-paste (technically). After all, they didn't have those luxuries during the Depression. The worst: no shower or tub. So, I'm glad the house is constantly filled with smoke. Entry: It's never quiet here. Even the lamps seem to make noise. It's hard to concentrate, to pray, to read. Entry: Books: texts on the Depression, Tobacco Road, Grapes of Wrath. I'm over-whelmed with the hopelessness of the Oakies' experience in Grapes. It's depressing to see lives so graphically painted with tragedy. It wasn't a television script to them. Entry: Free time. Risk, chess, checkers . . . reading, writing, lots of letters. We really crave letters ... Washing clothes takes up time too — especially washing jeans by hand. Entry: The monotony of the routine is a bit wearing — same food, same people, same books, same house . . . Sometimes we just have to get out of here. Five people were in tears today — I think it's from the tension of the closeness. We go for walks outside. The cold doesn't phase us anymore; we're used to it. In fact, it's invigor-ating. Going out is the only way to get breathing room, see any amount of uncluttered space or have private devotions. We play outside too — usually at night — usually in 'the cemetery. Hide and seek is fun for an hour. "Storytime with Elmo" is another healthy diver-sion. "There are no man's jobs or womens work categories" Entry: Mealtime is the best time of day. (Mail call runs a close second.) We eat on two tables that are L-shaped and covered with newspapers. We eat well ; at least we're never starving. It takes hours to prepare meals. We all cook. There are no "man's jobs" or "woman's work" categories. (We all chop wood, clean, haul water, peel, wash, stoke.) For breakfast we often have hot-cakes with molasses or fried potatoes. Sometimes we "get" to have fatback. We eat so late in the morning that we_don't usually have lunch. After Doc's disaster with the corn bread, we took over the baking. Most of the time, we have beans or potatoes as a main dish. Once and only once, we had pinto beans. They were definitely not the favorite dish we've had. In fact, pinto beans are the worst things I've ever tasted. But, they did serve one purpose: we now have a guaranteed laugh when-ever they're mentioned. (We're hoping to get rid of them at the church potluck because we can't throw any food out.) We drink instant milk; it's good — if it's cold (very cold)! Doc still brews his coffee (egg coffee — made from our store of freshly frozen eggs) and we also have tea,for the unenlightened. Entry: We're learning a lot from the food. Sometimes we laugh during the blessing. It's all very humorous, but I wonder if we really believe it's a blessing to have food like this. Entry: We're not always kosher here. Today we coerced Doc into letting us watch the Super Bowl in town. (It was great to go somewhere with indoor plumb-ing.) Doc rationalized it to us by explaining that "even during the Depression, people went to the `big house' now and then." No rationalization necessary. He was simply outnumbered 20 to one. Entry: Outings include church in Webster, Wis. We were the choir last Sunday. Our "anthem," such as it was, was "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." Entry: Last week, four woods-men came to our door. I was amazed at their ragged dress and dirty appearance. They had rifles and said they'd been out shooting flying squirrels for food. I couldn't believe how destitute they seemed . . . We saw them in church last Sunday — all suited up in three-piece splendor. Entry: We went into town today. It's weird not being able to buy things. We were touching nice things — I really felt like a welfare case. This is beginning to hit where it hurts — my pride has been laid back completely. Entry: Even here, this is Bethel. We can't really get away from it, especially in our discussions. The subject at dinner tonight was typical of the Bethel cafeteria: should women be aggressive? Dating relationships, etc., are popular topics to talk about. We're all "brothers and sisters" up here, but there are some strong romantic undercurrents. I don't think you can get away from that — no matter where you are. Now and then, our conversa-tion hit a more esoteric level. We discussed the essence of virtue one night. But more often than not, topics are basic and earthy. We argue a lot about how cold it really is (40 or 41 below)? "We have to like each other for what we are because we obviously don't look fantastic." Entry: Today, Wendy (Hannah) said we don't hide anything here. (We can't.) We have to like each other for what we are because, as she said, "we obviously don't look fantastic." She's right. We can't wear make up; we wash our hair less; we wear clothes for days before washing them. I wonder if going back to Bethel will be an adjustment. We're in a different era, a different world. The competition will be hard to get used to again. Regaining my materialistic atti-tudes will be all too easy, I think. Entry: Mike (Anderson) says he'd like to live this way forever. But people living in the Depression didn't have lifestyle options. They were just concerned with staying alive. Entry: Our group has become family. Devotions are a special time. Sitting around the table after supper, we take turns leading discussions. Doc adds much-needed insights to these sessions. It's kind of comforting — the kerosene lamps flickering, Doc's voice gently droning, the sound of Al (Steier) stoking . . . I wonder if this feeling of spiritual closeness and our exper-iences of personal growth will be more than a "camp high." Will it last after this month is over? (This log was constructed from the writers' observations during a three-hour visit at Depression House.) three IIP 'At 17,000 students including 200 Bethel students attended Urbana '76 over Christmas vacation. In my opinion: Urbana leaves vision, challenge by Larry Caldwell and Paul Berry Urbana has changed our lives. We don't know whether this is because we are seniors looking to graduation or whether we have reached a certain age but some-how we feel our lives have changed. We believe Urbana '76 had a fundamental part in that change. Essentially the change caused us to have a much more serious outlook on life — to feel an urgency — a time to quit playing games and get down to business with God. How did God use Urbana to effect these changes in our lives? In two basic ways. First in our response to Christ and our individual relationship to Him and second, since Urbana was a student missionary confer-ence, in our sense of mission to the world. First of all, what we have captured through Urbana and want to pass on to you is a renewed realization of the unwar-ranted love God has for us. That God in all His glory has chosen us and is right now our loving Father. And as a response to this we want to return His love. The only way to properly do this is to spend time alone with God each day. It seemed that each speaker at Urbana had a life founded upon a basic need for private time alone with the Lord each day. This is not "speaker worship" but simply acknowledging the tremendous power of the Spirit in their lives — a power which can be just as great in our own lives if we let it. The key to this is daily Bible study and prayer. This daily quiet time with God leads to a deep sense of security in Christ, a profound sense of joy in the Lord, and a tremendous desire and responsibility to min-ister God's love to the rest of the world. This brings us to the second aspect of Urbana which grows out of the first, namely, that of "declaring God's glory among the nations" — the theme of Urbana. We must come to the realiza-tion that the Great Commission is not something to be done by some other person, but it is something which must be ful-filled by all of us who call ourselves Christians. It grows out of the desire to share with others what we have found in Christ. And what we feel we must share with the Bethel community from Urbana is the sense of urgency to do God's will and carry out the Great Commission. Each one of us must let Him use us to establish His Kingdom both here in our immediate surroundings and in our minis-tries outside Bethel, locally, nationally, and globally. This global outreach must have just as high of a priority as our local ministries do. Through all this we must realize that this is not America against the world but that it is the whole international body of Christ carrying out the Great Commission in all its global implications. In practical terms this means we must be constantly uplifting our brothers and sisters in Christ overseas in prayer—being cogni-zant of their needs, desires, sufferings, joys, and sorrows as they minister to the world in their particular situations. In all of this, recognizing that they too are lifting us up in prayer and that they are intimately involved in God's work here in America through their prayers. Above all, we must realize that along with this commitment to the Great Commission there inevitably comes the privilege to suffer for Christ's sake. If we are going to commit ourselves to Christ, we are making a going commitment to suffer for His name. And yet through this suffering we must endeavor to bring the love of Christ to everyone. So in conclusion, Urbana is calling us to a radical commit-ment to Jesus Christ. We must lay aside every weight which would hinder us and bring all areas of our lives under subjec-tion to Christ. We must become single-minded in our goal to let Christ live in our personal lives and through our lives to reach others for His glory. May God give us the grace to carry through.

At the barber shop, man is always in touch with man. But after visiting one of the new "styling salons" sometime ago, I had no recourse but to admit that the true barber shop is doomed to the same sort of obscure absolescence that has made the fallout shelter a thing of the past. A cursory glance around the lobby revealed several changes at the outset. First of all, instead of the bald, affable, thick-fingered barber, we now have several young (nevertheless balding) flower-shirted, well-cologned, high-heeled, mustachoed "stylists" who have their shirts unbottoned down to the middle of their torsos, and wear an expression on their faces that seems to say, "If you could just look like me you could get a date with any girl you wanted to." But there are also the physical surroundings. Two things strike the potential stylee as being conspicuously absent from any establish-ment that hopes to qualify as a bona fide barber shop. First, there are no copies of "Argosy" or "Field and Stream" lying around on the end tables. It's not that I enjoy reading either magazine. It's just that trusting your hair to a barber who doesn't carry "Argosy" or "Field and Stream" is a bit like trusting your car to a gas station without a girlie calendar or trusting your teeth to a dentist who doesn't have bad breath. Certainly I am not condoning pornography or halitosis. It is just that these situational clues give you a sense of security, a sense of security the styling salon lacks. In place of "Field and Stream" we now have magazines about hair replete with pictures of different styles and articles about hair weaves and transplants all designed to play upon the frailty of the male ego. It should also be noted that whereas the walls of the old barbershop were covered with pictures of people fishing and people hunting, we now just have pictures of hair. And shelves that were once filled with bowling trophies with people's names on them have yielded to shelves that are now stacked with what might best be termed "PH paraphanalia." "PH balance" appears to be the panacea for just about any hair problem. This is evidenced by the fact that everything on the shelves, from the natural bristle brushes to the follicle fertilizer, bears the proud label: "PH Balanced." But all of the above is merely a taste of some of the cosmetic differences between the barber shop and the styling salon. The real difference is in the personality of the barber verses that of the stylist. The barber could shoot the breeze on just about anything from the latest Gopher game to the weather to why the mayor is a "bum." All the stylist knows is hair. His whole world revolves around hair. Where the barber cut people's hair, the stylist just cuts hair. Consequently, a conversation with a stylist is nothing less than inane. My visit to the stylist was no exception. "Mr. Tim" was smoking a long, thin cigarette and had short hair combed straight back. After I somewhat naively told Mr. Tim that I just wanted a little cut off so my hair wouldn't hit me in the eyes, he protested; "Boy, I could do some nice things with your hair." "Yea, well, I'm sure you could but "Where did you hear about us?" "Well I . . ." "Now you don't just want a hair-cut do you? I mean, you do want a style don't you?" "No." "How about a brush cut?" "No thanks." "A fluff cut?" "No!" "A razor cut maybe?" "Listen ace, will you just cut my . . ." "Boy, I could do some nice things with your hair. Where do you usually get your hair cut?" "I usually just have a friend cut it off." "Yea, well that's your problem. You're going to love this. Have you ever had a wet cut before?" "A what?" I shouted as Mr. Tim started hosing down my hair. He tried desperately to convince me I needed a "wet cut." He showed me continued on p. 11 GAL-CON EARAE - S'Nucr JIM • DAVE • DENISE Tuesday - Friday 8 - 6 Saturday 8 - 5 For Appointment Call 1713 N.

May 7, 1959 NORTH CENTRAL ACCREDITATION! by Carol Christensen Bethel was given unqualified accreditation by the North Cen-tral association Friday, April 24. With North Central Association accreditation Bethel receives na-tional recognition as a standard four year liberal arts college. Bethel now possesses inde-pendent academic status; for-merly the college was dependent on the University of Minnesota, Clifford Larson, dean of the college, said. Regional accreditation, which is granted by the North Central Association in this area, is "essential because it represents full standard recognition and places Bethel on the level with other schools in the United States," Dr.. Larson said. April 30, 1971 In historic press conference AGREEMENT SIGNED November 11, 1964 BODIEN COUNCIL CLARIFIES RULES; STIFFENS POLICY Last Thursday the Bodien Dorm Council decided to "crack down" on the rule which "nor-mally expects" freshmen girls to be in their rooms by 11 p.m. on week days. Freshmen girls are now required to be in their rooms by 11 p.m. on week days. Because a greater percentage of upper class women live in Hagstrom and each room has its own washroom facilities, the enforcement in Hagstrom will remain as liberal as it has in the past. This change in the enforcement policy of the rule will not affect the upper class women living in Bodien. Study hours will be from 2 - 5 p.m. and from 7 - 10 p.m. The hour from 10-11 will be designated "washroom hour." February 17, 1965 AUTHOR, MISSIONARY ELLIOT APPEARS HERE THIS WEEK March 21, 1968 CONSTRUCTION STARTS MAY 1 Groundbreaking for three stu-dent residences on the Arden Hills campus is slated for May 1, it was announced early this week. The ceremony will kick off an intense period of construction involving more than $1.5 million in funds. Besides the residence build-ings, plans for the start of construction on the seminary chapel and student center were also approved by the Board of Education. The projected date of completion of residences is the opening of the '68 fall semester. This thrust forward in the relocation program was spurred by an anonymous gift of $500,000. The offer carries the stipulation that a dormitory is to be constructed and occupied in 1968. The gift will be used to build a college residence containing both a wing for women and a wing for men, with a common lounge. Its completion will help alleviate the current student housing problem. Shuttle bus service is anticipated for trans-porting students to the college campus from Arden Hills until the relocation program is completed. These 'four pages of nostalgia were selected to provide students with a sense of Bethel's past and our alumni with sentimental reminisc-ings. October 7, 1964 COLLEGES CONSIDER SHARING FACILITIES by Bernie Johnson Currently under study by cer-tain faculty and administration at Bethel is a totally new concept in educational co-operation. The plan calls for an association of two or three independent col-leges united in one complex and sharing certain centralized fea-tures, occurring in areas such as advanced study, sciences, library facilities and athletics. At the present time three evangelical colleges in the Twin Cities, Bethel, Northwestern and St. Paul Bible, are planning large scale expansion programs. The proposed idea would provide for a centralized association of these three colleges on one site. While remaining independent they would contribute collectively to such things as an advanced study library, a science complex and athletic complex. Whereas no single school could provide a fully adequate science building, the three schools collectively could do so. April 1, 1958 JESSUP WILL HEAD SENATE Dwight Jessup was elected president of the 1958-59 student senate by a majority vote in the election March 21. Other officers elected were Milt. Holmquist, vice-president, Gerry Wilber, recording secretary, Mar-ilyn Swanson, corresponding secretary, and Evan Rogers, treasurer. All received a majority vote. Three hundred ninety-six votes were cast, 346 from the college and 50 from the seminary. March 29, 1974 KRONHOLM SAGA RELATED AT SEMINARY PRESS CONFERENCE Bethel Seminary was the scene of a national press conference March 20. The occasion was the safe return of Mrs. Eunice Kronholm, former Bethel school nurse, who was kidnapped the morning of March 15. Mrs. Kronholm was accompanied at the conference by her husband, Gunnar, and other members of her family. Gunnar Kronholm, president of Drovers State Bank in South St. Paul, is also a part-time teacher (business) here at Bethel and a member of the President's Associates, an advisory committee to President Lundquist. At the press conference Mrs. Kronholm related, for the first time, the accurate details of her abduction. Briefly: Friday morning (March 15), as Mrs. Kronholm was getting into her car for a hair appointment, two men wearing snowmobile masks grabbed and tied her, forcing her into the back seat of her car. Following this came hours and hours of driving, part of which she spent in the trunk. The kidnappers contacted Mr. Kronholm at the bank, informing him that they had his wife, and that they wanted $200,000 for her safe release. Mrs. Kronholm was then transferred to a "room" which is now believed to have been a vacant house at 1204 Echo Drive in Burnsville. Sunday night Mr. Kronholm, after driving more than a hundred miles through and around the Twin Cities, dropped off the $200,000, probably at an abandoned picnic area near Burnsville. At 10 a.m. Monday morning the abductors had promised to notify Kronholm of his wife's whereabouts, but this did not come to pass. Monday afternoon the FBI announced that James William Johnson had been arrested and charged with extortion in connection with the kidnapping of Mrs. Kronholm. During all of this Mrs. Kronholm tried to talk her way to freedom. She reasoned with the abductor, reminding him that one suspect had been taken and that the FBI was sure to be on his trail. He was mulling the possibility of freeing her when she said, "OK, I am going" and ran out the door. She flagged down a car, which took her to a store, where she called her husband. The next day was spent in seclusion, prior to her Wednesday morning press conference. The faith and courage of the Kronholms was a beautiful witness for Jesus Christ. We join others in thanking God for the safe return of Mrs. Eunice Kronholm. February 26, 1959 COLLEGE, SEM TO VOTE ON SEPARATION Next Friday the vote for dividing the Bethel Student Asso-ciation into two separate govern-mental units will be held from 10:30 to 2 p.m. College students will - vote in the lounge and seminary students will vote in the seminary lounge. A two-thirds majority of the ballots cast is required to pass this proposal which will amend the constitution of the Bethel Student Association. This amendment would enable each student body to reorganize its government. A joint committee would be created to handle areas of common interest.

November 27, 1963 ASSASSIN KILLS KENNEDY; CAMPUS HOLDS MEMORIAL Bethel joined the rest of the world in mourning the assassination last Friday of President John F. Kennedy. Nik Dag festivities Saturday night and classes Monday were cancelled in honor of the dead leader. Tuesday morning during chapel period the college and seminary held a joint memorial service in the fieldhouse. October 1, 1954 LUNDQUIST BEGINS PRESIDENCY Carl H. Lundquist is a familiar name to most Bethelites because he has been active in Conference work for the last ten years. He served on the Board of Home Missions from 1945 to 1953 (as chairman from 1951 to 1953), as acting Executive Secretary of the Board of Trustrees of the Conference, and other responsible positions. Administrative responsibilities had their beginning back his high school days. First he headed his church young people's groups. Then he was chosen president of the South Dakota Young People's Society. Perhaps the climaxing experience was his appointment to the presidency of the Student Association of Sioux Falls College. Coupling this background with ten years in a pastorate (Elim Church, Chicago) has made President Lundquist keen to the needs of young people setting out in full-time service for Christ either as ministers and missionaries or as laymen. Last January he joined Bethel's faculty as acting dean. From then on, the Lundquists had a part in all school activities, ranging from basketball games to banquets. In the crowd at the Student Center, the youthful (37 years of age) president can easily be mistaken for a student. President Lundquist, young in years but mature in experience, and God-guided throughout his entire life, is God's man for the job. five Our Reasons For A Merry Christmas December 14, 1949 letters to the editor Bethel Institute COMPRISING Bethel Academy and Theological Seminary 1480-1492 North Snelling Avenue ST.

ARVID HAGSTROM, Presidini, BETHEL INSTITUTE 1480-1492 No. Snelling Ave., St. Paul, Minn. 1921 editorials — Sept. 17, 1976 COMMENTS ON CROWDING Editor: Bill Trollinger To say that Bethel suffers from an overcrowding problem is a little like saying New York City suffers from fiscal mismanagement. The obviousness of the fact makes the statement inane. The packed facilities, the student complaints (protests that are publicly echoed by the Student Association leaders), and the newspaper coverage of the situation all but make it impossible for members of the Bethel community to be unaware of the problem. One aspect of our crowded situation is found in the student housing program (which has been thoroughly discussed in the paper). Of course, part of the problem is that Student Affaris and Housing got caught in a squeeze, having planned on Old Campus being sold. But, still, a choice was made. As Miss Starr asserted last week, and Mack Nettleton reiterated this week, the present housing policy is that it is better to stuff (our word) the students into New Campus/Old Campus housing rather than use a format such as that which was used at Nob Hill last year. (The Nob Hill plan was, basically, student apartment living which was partially subsidized by the College.) We strongly disagree with this policy. The argument that the girls felt isolated is highly over-emphasized, and if isolation was a problem, it was probably due to Bethel's seeming disregard for these students as members of the on-campus community. Well, that's past history. The Board of Regents are examining the apartment idea this week. We hope the decision is a favorable one, and that the situation is improved as soon as possible. November 4, 1960 LET'S MARCH FOR FREEDOM AND HUMAN DIGNITY ON NOV. 8 Editor: L.E.B. We join with Tim Jenkins in asking you, now that there is a call from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for the support of students all over the country for the success of its Election Day project on Nov. 8, to examine the total picture of voting rights violations. Such demonstrations should occur on Election Day beginning at 4 p.m. and continuing through the supper hour. They will involve a march to a central polling place or the State Capitol. There should be a brief picket and a street meeting. We hope that the students of Bethel College will not sit idly by at this time, but will join with students across the nation and in the Twin Cities in this march for freedom and human dignity. August 19, 1964 BETHEL MAY DISAPPOINT STUDENT EXPECTING UTOPIA Editor: June Erickson So you are going to a Christian college. Just what do you expect it to be like? Do you think that because Bethel is a community of Christian people that it is a Utopia? It isn't. Don't be disappointed when you discover that the Bethel community has problems like any other community. The students who come here and the people who work here may be Christians, but they are also humans. Students who have studied at Bethel will tell you that Christian growth often seems harder and slower at Bethel. You will discover the difficulty of Christian living at Bethel when you find yourself substituting habitual chapel attendance for genuine personal devotion to God. Now you might be expecting Bethel to be no different than any other college even if it is a Christian school. Bethel is unique because of its Christian commitment. May 1, 1967 (CARRION) COLLEGE-CONFERENCE RIFT RESOLVES IN MEETINGS Perhaps the most serious problem facing the Bethel family is the increasing alienation from its constituents, and as everyone knows, such trends can lead to critical misunderstandings. Though the horizon of answers is initially bleak, there is a bright spot. The only answer to the problem is staging Founder's Week every week of the school year. The advantages of this are overwhelming. Prime advantage of this would be the improvement of the menu at the Bethel cafeteria. The intellectual atmosphere of the school has seen a marked decline since the departure of the Founder's Week delegates. To maintain the sharp scholarly nature of classes a return of the delegates is necessary to revita-lize the sagging progress of classes. We don't know how the above evidence warrants our initial statement, but as we always say, FOUNDER'S WEEK MUST DO SOMETHING RIGHT! May 1, 1958 CONFUSING MUDDLE? Dear Editor: Bethel has a code of language which is a confusing muddle of slang. The use of slang around school has been excused by some by the explanation that they do not use slang in public. But can we continue to use slang around school and not use it in public? Isn't our slang just a modifica-tion of profanity which we think Christians can use without trans-gressing the third command-ment? "If we don't use this casual talk, kids off campus will think we're a bunch of religious duds," is the argument often quoted. When incorrect speech is not acceptable in the Lord's eyes, isn't it our duty as Christians to use correct speech? And shouldn't we regard what the Lord thinks of us as being more important than what others think of us? We should remember that our Christian testimony is reflected in our talk. N.W.U.R. October 5, 1961 FROST REACT TO PERSON'S VIEWS ON CIVIL DEFENSE BERLIN CRISIS Dear Editor: In response to the article in the Clarion, "Is Berline worth a nuclear war?" my emphatic an-swer is no! There is absolutely no desire in me to be killed or maimed for life for a group of people I have never seen, will never see, or care anything about at all. Nor do I wish to spend money for Civil Defense, used to heighten my fears, that I could spend for "a new motor boat or what not." In fact, to me the whole arms race is quite ridicu-lous. War is nearly inevitable; therefore my personal opinion is to get them before they get us. The best defense is a good offense. Gerald Egge Nov. 7, 1961 U.S. MUST WIELD NUCLEAR THREAT AGAINST RUSSIA Dear Editor: Many people seem to believe that our testing nuclear weapons (or our standing firm in Berlin and elsewhere) will lead to war. However, history has shown us that unless we stop the Russians and unless we let the Russians know we mean business, they will continue their march toward world conquest and supression of millions which is as bad as war. If we will continue to be the strongest military power on earth, including in the field of nuclear weapons, and if we will be more firm than we have even been before against the Russian enslavement of men and minds, there will then be no war, and less people will suffer the oppres-sion of Russian terrorism. Our nation is not up against just another "cause" or "ism," but against a Satanic power. Harvey Nelson October 24, 1975 HAALAND SURRENDERS LECTURE TIME Dear Sir: I see where I have been given February 10, from 6:30-6:31 for my lecture on "The Wit and Humor of Chuck Haaland" (Clar-ion: October 10). Obviously I will not need this entire time, so I would like to donate whatever I don't use to Marshall Shelley. Sincerely, Chuck Haaland October 25, 1968 CHANGING VALUES? Dear Editor: Last year student discount cards were carefully edited to remove all cinemas and liquor-serving restaurants; this year the discount cards were sold uncut, and the bookstore is now giving away an offer of free pipe tobacco. Is tobacco less sinful than the cinema? Or is the bookstore less influencial than the Student Association? Or have we seen an evolution of and a readjustment of values? Sincerely, Leonard Ray Sammons October 8, 1976 G.W. CARLSON BLASTS ROYALTY Dear Editor: Here We Go Again! The return of the Bethel royalty. The king and queen have returned from their exile status and have recaptured the throne. I guess the Marable Morgan woman is alive and well — and as a result the whole school has been totalled. I wish the cynics and demo-crats would have won out and we elected Doc's dog as the number one attraction. At least we could only be accused of dog chauvin-ism. Since when do Christians judge people by their sexual attractiveness and outward ap-pearance (both male and female)? This is an affront to the main-stream testimony of Christ who is interested in the whole person and whether his disciples give testimony of the fruits of the Spirit. Sincerely, G.

Across from Harkins Playground Mi 4-4633 April 26, 1975 SHOES AND SHIPS AND SEALING WAX by David J. Healy I went to see Russ Johnson again, to see if he was still the same. I wondered if some of his mystique had been left upstairs in the old College Building, where the smell of formaldehyde oozed from the very walls and the blood of a thousand fetal pigs stained the floor, where the odor of death was masked only by Russ's everlasting plants. I've harbored a soft spot in my heart for Russ ever since he gave me a B in General Biology. As is usually the case with required courses, previous few tidbits of knowledge survive from my Gen. Bio. days. But I do remember Russ Johnson, with his boundless enthusiasm, his incredible spontaneity, and his unashamed love for God's creation. And so I went back to see if it was still there. The first few minutes of class were given over to reminding students of the greenhouse project. Then, with characteristic abandon, Russ departed from the syllabus to talk about flowers. As he delved into the mysteries of petal, pistil, pollen, and parthenogenesis, I marvelled again at the man's irrepressible spirit. After decades of teaching and dozens of springs, he still approaches each April with the contagious excitement of youth and manages somehow to produce the same enchantment in even the most unlearned observer. Perhaps no one deserved our move to this campus more than Russ. After laboring for years on a few acres of hard ground with its carefully cultivated flora, at last, in the twilight of his career, he is surrounded by the wild things he loves. God has revealed Himself to man through His Word, both written and living : the Bible and His Son. But God also reveals Himself through nature. And that makes Russ Johnson the greatest evangelist I've ever heard. March 8, 1974 FAST SET FOR TUESDAY; STOOKEY TO PLAY HERE IN WEDNESDAY BENEFIT by Steve Harris Her eyes are large and brown. Staring emptily, they silently call for help. These are the eyes of a small African child as she clings in vain to her frail mother's milkiess breast. These are the eyes of a child who is slowly starving to death. Thousands of miles and many cultures away, the eyes are bright, the music is enjoyable, the conversation is relaxed. Peo-ple have filled a college field-house to capacity on a winter's night to enjoy the sounds of Noel Paul Stookey and others. How are these very dissimilar scenes related? They will be very much related as this Wednesday night, March 13, Bethel College's Student Senate African Relief Project will present a benefit concert featuring Stookey, Mike Monroe, Phil Kitchen, and Jay and Gail Caress. All proceeds from this concert are being donated to aid that little girl, and millions of her brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers, all across famine-plagued West Africa. September 10, 1976 BOOKSTORE MANAGER OF 14 YEARS DIES AFTER BATTLING CANCER by Diane Gonzalez Returning students fondly re-member him as "Bargain Bob," a determined businessman. But Bob Bergerud will be remem-bered as a concerned Christian as well. On Wednesday, August 25, at the age of 53, Robert Bergerud went to be with his Lord. He died as a result of lung cancer. During his 53 years:Bob led a busy, dynamic life. After gradu-ating from Augustana College in Illinois, he continued his educa-• tion at Bethel Seminary. For the next 17 years he pastored four different churches. In 1962, Rev. Bergerud took over as manager of the Bethel College and Seminary Book-stores. Lois, his wife, said that "Bob considered his job a call from God. He felt that was as much a call as from a church." He enabled the bookstores to grow from $75,000 to $335,000 in annual operations. "He tried to run the store as efficiently as he could," commented Mrs. Ber-gerud. "I received a letter from the bookstore saying how he worked hard — over and above that which he 'had to do.' He expected the kids working there to put out a lot because they were doing it for Christ, not just for a paycheck." September 30, 1964 STUDY BODY ENROLLMENT EXCEEDS THOUSAND MARK Unofficial tallies from the registrar's office indicates that the Bethel College and Seminary enrollment will be well over the 1,000 mark when the official Count is made tomorrow. More then 900 full and part-time students will be attending the college, while seminary figures stand at 105. March 21, 1965 BETHEL'S CORNER ON NOSTALGIA; SIP IT WITH YOUR COFFEE Tucked into a corner of Beth-el's structural maze of glass-lined corridors, winding stairways, and numbered mailboxes, is Doc Dalton's "Coffee Corner," and for the hundreds of students and faculty who mecca there daily, the pleasure it offers goes far beyond the basic menu of coffee, tea, and cookies. It is an experi-ence in Bethel nostalgia. The Corner, in reality an extension of Doc's second floor, Academic Center History office, was born in another era of Bethel history, an era that Doc wants to help students remember. April 25, 1953 BETHEL'S FIRST MUSIC MAJOR PRESENTS RECITAL TUESDAY Bethel's first music major, Carol Frykenberg, will present her senior organ recital Tuesday, April 28 at 8:30 p.m. in the college chapel. Along with her organ studies, Carol has taken several theory and composition courses plus other music classes. ■•■ February 16, 1967 EDGREN SHEBANG ATTRACTS CROWD: PARTY EXPLODES WITH CELEBRITIES Smash social for last week followed hard on the heels of the Mankato Madrigals concert, Fri-day night at 9:30. The Edgren Dorm Party entertained a capacity crowd estimated at over 150 people. Bright spots in the evening's entertainment were Dave Shupe, and the "Sinners," including Ken Bell, Gary Wagner, Steve Roe, with a folk song repertoire and the perennial Leonard Sammons and his inimitable versions of "More," "World Without Love," and "Count Me In" backgrounded by the "Repulsives," composed of Gaylord Anderson, John Grif-fiths, Lyn Hanson, and Jerry Tarman. September 13, 1968 BETHEL ENDS TWO YEAR SEARCH FOR DEAN Two year's search for a new full-time college academic dean came to an end on July 2 when Dr. Virgil A. Olson was approved by the Baptist General Confer-ence at its Davenport, Iowa annual meetings to take over the post at the opening of this school year. The former Bethel Seminary professor of church history and missions earned the appointment after nomination by a committee meeting combining the adminis-trative council of the Board of Education with three college faculty members, and approval by both the full board of education and delegates to the Davenport meetings. April 22, 1955 AL GLENN NEW PREXY Al Glenn, college sophomore, was elected president of the Student Senate last Wednesday along with Glenn Ogren, another March 6, 1956 CREATOR OF "PEANUTS" TO SPEAK, DRAW HERE by Paul Schlueter Bethel will be host to a number of famous kids a week from this Friday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. "Peanuts" and his gang — Charlie Brown, Lucy, Schroeder (with his piano), and Snoopy the dog will be appearing in the college chapel, along with Charles M. Schulz, their creator, in a special Clarion-sponsored meeting. Mr. Schultz, an active Christian layman, will relate how "Peanuts" has come into its present place of drawing-board prestige and pop-ularity from an obscure begin-ning, and of how the message of Christianity relates itself to car-tooning. April 9, 1976 Dear Dr. Von Schueller: sophomore, as vice president. Other election results named Beverly Carlson as recording secretary; Retha Creech as cor-responding secretary; Bill Con-rad as treasurer; Lowell Gardner as finance secretary. November 23, 1960 MARTIN LUTHER KING WILL ADDRESS CONVO Revealed by the 1957 Gallup Poll as one of the most religious leaders in the world, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Atlanta, Georgia, will be the featured speaker at a morning and evening convocation on Thursday, Dec. 1 in the fieldhouse. Dr. King will address the group on the general topic of Race Relations at the morning convo-cation. In the evening he will speak on the topic, "Paul's Epistle to Twentieth Century Christians." May 13, 1964 SEMINARY CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES ON JULY 1 The woods and hills around Lake Valentine were alive all winter with the drone of power saws and the pounding of axes which were clearing the new seminary site, where building is scheduled to begin in July. The seminary complex will be located in a small valley which is about three-quarters of a mile from the main road. The hills surrounding the area are the highest on campus and command an expansive view of Lake Valentine. Six buildings will constitute the seminary plot. On July 1 of this year, new crews with heavy equipment will begin seminary construction. The small crew of four who worked over the winter will be joined by a maze of men and machines that will rapidly transform the area into the new campus. October 15, 1976 SENATOR HATFIELD ON CAMPUS OCT. 22 by Holly Schmiess U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield, a radically Christian Senator, will spend a morning here next Friday. "A Morning with Mark Hatfield" will be sponsored by the Chris-tian College Consortium, with Bethel's Student Association hosting the senator. President Lundquist and repre-sentatives from the political science division, student govern-ment, and the Clarion will meet Hatfield during an invitational breakfast. Classes will then dismiss early for a 90-minute chapel beginning at 9:45. The Republican Senator from Oregon will address the assembly and answer questions. It's that time of year again, when Income Tax forms must be filled out, and I am presently trying to analyze my entire financial situation. I have come to the conclusion that I need some advice concerning investments, financial security, etc. Could you give me some help? Jack Dear Jack: Jack, I would strongly suggest that you look into the possibility of expanding your portfolio, above and beyond your blue chip investment securities, to include the solidity and virtual non-inflationality of gold and white chip opportunities. Indeed, your biennial yield return will show a marked downslope in terms of recessionary revenue and your equity revenue will need some capital readjustment in terms of market expenditure, but you must remember that you are paying much capital interest for such short-term, risk-oriented securities. Jack, you could reorganize your whole pecuniary policy today to allow for bear market eventualities tomorrow!

Editor February 15, 1952 "B" CLUB BARS LETTER SWEATERS At their January 29 meeting, members of the Bethel "B" Club passed a resolution that reads, "No letter awards from any school other than Bethel shall be worn on campus by any student." According to Phil Carlson, presi-dent of the organization, many of the colleges in the land have the same ruling. He says, "I hope all students will cooperate in this regard. Recently, the club has sent to the athletic committee of the school a proposal for the revision of the athletic award system. The essence of the proposal is to change the letter style, giving a red letter with a white border on a red background for major sports. Acceptance of the proposal would also eliminate all emblems on letters except for captain and manager designations. The old style letter, red with a white background, would be awarded in minor sports. The members also decided to wear dark red wool jackets with grey leather sleeves to designate them as 'B' Club members. March 8, 1974 ROYALS TOP TRI-STATE; SO DO RAIDERS, BRAVES by Curtis Kregness As Tri-State Conference bas-ketball competition concluded last week, the Bethel Royals had the dubious honor of being' in first place. Excitement at Bethel was not forthcoming, as one might expect, for Sioux Falls and Northwestern College could also claim that distinction. The frustrating three-way tie (each team had eight wins and two losses in conference play) was finalized last Tuesday as Sioux Falls handed Northwestern of Iowa its second overtime defeat this season, 82 to 80. Sioux Falls was also responsible for Northwestern's other loss earlier in the season, 84 to 83 in overtime. Similarly, Northwest-ern accounted for Bethel's two conference losses, and Bethel twice downed Sioux Falls. Yank-ton and Concordia College occu-pied second and third place, respectively. November 13, 1962 BETHEL EDGES MORRIS 21-19, EARNS BEST SEASON RECORD by Bill Carlson Bethel's football team cli-maxed its best season in history with a 21-19 victory over the University of Minnesota at Morris last Saturday. The Royals fin-ished with a seven and one record. November 5, 1976 ROYALS WIN STUNNING ST. OLAF CONTEST by Bruce Olsen The Bethel football team showed once and for all that they are capable of playing in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athlet-ic Conference (MIAC), as they demolished powerful St. Olaf 20-0. The Oles had lost only one game prior to the loss against the Royals and are tied for second in the MIAC. February 25, 1971 THE HOT CORNER by Rich Zaderaka I'm not trying to make excuses for the disappointing weekend the Royals had in the Lea Invitational Tournament, but I've seen better officiating at funer-als. The refs were unbelievable. They blew more whistles than the Northern Pacific. They didn't know whether to call traveling or goal tending. They called a quick ten second violation several times, but when the big guys pitched tent in the lane, they never got called for three sec-onds. Maybe they had the rules mixed up? March 8, 1962 SPORTSCOPE by Rick McNamara Basketball road trips usually mean a good time, even when a team wins only one of nine road games. Some first-hand and second-hand observations on the recent Wisconsin road trip fol-low. A groggy crew of ballplayers being herded to St. Paul's Union Depot to catch the 8 a.m. train for Watertown, Wisconsin . . . Jan Kolbrek and his banjo with robust accompaniment ...

The six-foot senior guard surpassed 1969 Bethel graduate Ron Pederson's 2,013- point record by one point, as he connected on a final basket with two seconds remaining in the game.

May 21, 1963 ATHLETE'S CRITICIZE COLUMN'S TRACK, INTRAMURAL IDEAS Dear Editor, Yes, spring is here and with it spring sports, including track. Yes, we do have a track team. The students haven't heard much about them this year? It's proba-bly because they aren't interested enough in Bethel to find out what its track team is doing. The tremendous turnout at the trian-gular meet with Stout State and River Falls was greatly appreci-ated. Both of our sports fans, two Bethel "lovelies," had to assist in regulating the meet because of the apathy of the Bethel "men." The student body can't even get enough men out to act as officials, let alone provide the depth needed to win a meet. May 7, 1976 DOTEN ROLLS ON TOWARDS AMAZING SEASON by Bruce Olsen Until last weekend's baseball game with Westmar College, Tim Doten had achieved the limits of superstardom, amassing a record that most pitchers would dream of in their sleep. His statistics included a perfect 5-0 record, only five walks, 40 strike-outs, and a blistering 1.00 earned run average. March 3, 1960 BETHEL AND NORTHLAND SHARE BGC CHAMPIONSHIP Bethel College and Northland College of Ashland, Wis., have completed the basketball season with identical conference records and therefore share the Badger Gopher Conference champion-ship. Bethel ended the confer-ence season Monday, Feb. 22 by defeating Pillsbury, 78-51. North-land finished the season by defeating Lakeland College last Saturday night. Both teams com-piled 9-1 records for the confer-ence seasons. September 21, 1961 SCHOOL SPIRIT SOUGHT: WELCOMING STAFF PRAISED Dear Editor: Pardon me if I sound repeti-tious, but its that littlest spirit of all again — and I can't find him anyplace. This little fellow surely likes to hide from college students. Not because he doesn't like them but because they don't like him. They seem too sophisticated and ma-ture to get excited over and involved in a ball game. Even the cheerleaders can't find him in their slowly-moving pep yells. Would everyone look for him? He just wants to feel needed and wanted. Joy Malmquist February 15, 1974 WITZGALL NOW 15-1, RECORDS FASTEST PIN by Tim Benhardus Fred Witzgall set a new school record as he pinned Concordia's 177 pound wrestler in 15 sec-onds. The crowd almost missed the match completely as the quickness of Fred paid off and he recorded his fifth pin of the year. The pin helped Bethel take what was a close match and turn it into a runaway 33-15 victory over Concordia St. Paul. September 25, 1970 ROYALS WIN FOOTBALL GAME AFTER TWO-YEAR DRY SPELL The Bethel Royals football team plays host to Northland College at 1 :30 p.m. tomorrow at Midway Stadium, after breaking a 19-game losing streak on a road trip to Sioux Falls College, S.D. last Saturday. The scoring for Bethel, in the 13-6 fight, was done by quarter-back Dave Pearson on a three-yard sneak and on a 20-yard pass from Pearson to split end Steve Conklin. October 5, 1967 PAST CLARIONS PRESENT INTERESTING BAROMETER OF HOMECOMING TRENDS viAn array of Clarion Homecom-ing issues dating from 1957-to the present may be valuable in providing an index to general trends on Bethel's campus. The college presently appears to be in the midst of a downward course with respect to elabora-tion and ceremonial. The peak of the period from which we are unwinding was reached in 1958 when the Royals boasted a royal family complete with king, queen and freshman sweetheart. Approach to this 1958 peak was begun in 1946 when titles which hinted of "royalty" were awarded some deserving pair of Bethelites. These titles were "host" and "hostess. 1959 marked the beginning of an "iconoclastic age," with a dethronement of the kind and the establishment of a matriarchal rulership. Within a few years of this action, the freshman sweet-heart met with extinction, leaving a figurehead queen as the single titled person. One will note that the above progression has been defined in terms of 'upward' and 'downward' claiming for the present period a point on the downward scale. In some minds, however, the labels for this progression may be just the reverse. A de-emphasis in the play-up of royalty being the desired course of events. A de-emphasis upon royalty and ceremonial may indeed be advantageous for the college as a whole. Though not necessarily true, the de-accent may corres-pond with a greater stress on academics, intellectualism, and inter-personal communication. Such logic would obviously place Bethel at an all-time high in the march of progress. eight Ann Kismet "You just can't stop love. It crushes barriers. It breaks and builds bridges. It finds a way through. It never gives up. It's hard work. It listens. It walks ten extra miles. It's something you do. Jesus did it for me. He died to set me free. He lives to share my life with me and I go to His and my people and love wins." (From I'm out to change my world) Ann Kiemel, dean of women at Eastern Nazarene College and author of two books, will offer her theories for living at the women's luncheon, January 28 at the St. Paul Radisson (12:45-3:00 p.m.). She is described as "just an ordinary young women who really believes that the world can be changed — one person at a time."

Students extend warm welcome to Interim visitors Commencement planning commences by Nancy Naumenko The sight of unfamiliar faces has become a familiar sight to the majority of "Bethelites" since the beginning of this month. This is hardly surprising, since we've gained 97 people — 60 transfers and 37 exchange students. The exchange students arrived from Westmont, Augustana, St. Catherines, Dana, Augsburg, Gustavus Adolphus, Tabor, St. Benedict's, Macalester, Barring-ton, Hamline, and St. John's. The new students also include trans-fers, readmits, freshmen, and special students. Their reasons for coming are as varied as their locations were last Books, continued from p. 1 semester, the bookstore will pay 50 per cent of the marked price. The book is then remarked at 70 per cent of the marked price and put back on the shelf to be sold again. Mark-up on new texts is more or less predetermined by the publisher's recommended price. A book which costs the student $10 has cost the bookstore $8. Trade books (non-texts) are a bit more lucrative. A $10 trade book will have cost the bookstore $6. This, too, is set by publishers. The Hungry Mind does give students a 4 per cent discount on these trade books, which in effect amounts to absorbing the sales tax. However, Mac's bookstore does not deal in such goods as sweatshirts, mugs, novelties and cards. Nor does it carry art supplies or bathroom supplies. The Bethel Bookstore does supply these items. As a matter of fact, gifts and novelties are what keep the store going. These items are served as a convenience to the students and as a source of profit, for the Bookstore marks up these prices more than is done with books. But the lack of volume reduces the percentage of profit. Bethel's textbook mark-up is the same as Mac's. (Anyone wishing to check this is encour-aged to look in the copy of "Books in Print" located on the desk in the center of the store). The trade book cost is not the same, in that Bethel does not provide a 4 per cent discount. In terms of buy-back policy, a paperback which can be used again in a class is bought back at 50 per cent of the price you paid, and sold back at 66 per cent. On reusable cloth texts, buy-back is at 66 per cent of your cost, and semester. Transfer junior Jim Schultz says, "I wanted to come to a college where I wouldn't be just a number and where I would get a Christian education." Inter-im exchange student Dale Ken Knight is here to "learn about Bethel's college life so that I can make a wise judgment in trans-ferring here." Others came be-cause of the influence of friends or the availability of classes. The new students have been aware of us also and have been forming their own impres-sions. Interim exchange student Diane Kath states the general impression: "I think that every-body I've met so far has been really friendly!" the book is resold at 75 per cent. Books that will not be reused are subject to publisher's list price. Students who bring back- an unmarked book after dropping a class will be given a full refund if they return a book within fire days of the last day to add a class and if they bring their receipt. Refund is 90 per cent without a receipt. After the five day period, buy-back rates revert to the used book rate. The reason given for this short return period is that the bookstore has only 30 days to return texts. Mary Fuller states that "One of my goals is to make sure more people are aware of bookstore policies. Next year I hope to prepare for distribution some sort of a policy statement." Fuller also asserts that putting invoices on the shelves (a la Mac) would be time-consuming and, there-fore, costly — a cost the students would eventually have to pay. Mack Nettleton, Dean of Stu-dent Affairs, comments that "it is my feeling that, in the long run, the bookstore will break even. Gains in some years are sup-posed to be counterbalanced by losses in other years." In at-tempting to investigate the degree to which the Bethel Bookstore meets this goal, it was discovered that obtaining exact profit figures from the Bookstore or from the Business Office is a very difficult procedure. So far the most recent figures that were attainable were those for the year ending April 30, 1974. In that year the profit margine was $14,261 on receipts of $242,931 — a margin of 5.4 per cent. Profits made by the Bookstore are plowed back into Bethel's General Fund. Thus, Mary Fuller asserted that "the Bookstore has no motive for making a profit." Most students, though, felt that they were required to make the first move in getting to know people. As Dale Ken Knight states : "It's not hard to get acquainted if you want to. If you don't really want to, you won't make friends anywhere." One upperclassman felt that living on new campus makes it difficult to get to know others who are not freshmen. All seemed to feel, however, that once introduced, people were very friendly. Another visitor's immediate reply to his first impression was "It's cold!" Cold it has been, but hopefully veteran students will continue to extend a warm welcome to our new students. Lifestyle, continued from p.1 Mary did not feel this would be a solution to the conflict some students have. "I'd be really disappointed if Bethel had dances," she said. "It's a way of conforming to the world's stan-dards." Although many students do not agree with the lifestyle, they do conform to it. "Even though I do not completely agree with Bethel lifestyle as it is stated now, I feel obligated to live by it," Steve said. Another student, junior Bill Whittaker, has no conflict. "I have no problem living within the guidelines of the lifestyle," he said. Seeing a need for the rules, he added, "We wouldn't need a set of rules if we lived by love, but we don't. People are not always considerate of others, so we need a few minimal rules." by Gary Setterberg Even though it appears that we will be enduring a long, hard winter, a dozen or so Bethel seniors are already contemplat-ing thoughts of spring. When they are not dreaming of sunny skies and warm breezes, they are making plans for the graduation of 275 Bethel seniors at the 1977 Bethel College Commencement Exercises. Earlier this year, Student Asso-ciation President Pete Taylor notified seniors (via the P.O.$) of the opportunity to serve on a baccalaureate and cornmence-ment planning committee, to plan and coordinate graduation activities of this spring. As a result, approximately twelve se-niors responded. They are pres-ently working, with the assis-tance of their administritive liason, Dwight Jessup, to devel-op a significant and meaningful weekend of activities for the graduating class. At present, the committee is preparing to finalize the program for both the baccalaureate and commencement services. Se-niors' suggestions, which are continually being sought and are very welcome, should be directed to the student association office. Dr. Virgil Olson, regents pro-fessor and former vice president and dean of Bethel College, now executive secretary of world missions for the Baptist General Conference, has accepted an invitation to deliver the bacca-laureate address on Sunday, May 22. No commencement speaker has as yet been named, but announcement is expected within a few weeks. nine Larry Matthias, Bruce Nordeen, Amy Ward delve Into the fantasy world of The Hobbit'. Tolkien's classic 'Hobbit' to be presented next week Robert B. Munger Robert Munger, professor of evangelism and church strategy at Fuller Theological Seminary, will conduct a seminar on "Guidelines for Congregational Evangelism in a Secular Society," during the Thursday and Friday morning seminar slots next week. The seminar will consider a few of the biblical concepts basic to developing effective evangelism through the local church. Munger will address the question: "With fields ripe for harvest how do God's laborers go about gather-ing in His harvest?" Munger is an active conference speaker, author, and radio and television minister. He has served Presbyterian pastorates in Los Angeles, Berkely, 'and Seattle. Review Porter's 'Anything Goes' at Chanhassen Dinner Theater tasteful, successful by Dawn Hart Spiked with energy, color, style and dance, Cole Porter's brilliant musical score for Any-thing Goes has been cleverly and tastefully revived at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. This truly entertaining play was first produced on Broadway in 1934. Paramount Film Studios quickly filmed the hit in 1936 when Director Lewis Milestone cast Bing Crosby in the lead role. As in Crosby's style, Chanhassen has picked up the beat, and the cast dances its way across the stage and into the hearts of the audience. Chanhassen's show is both professional and disciplined, yet the exuberant energy which is apparent lends a free, easy appearance to the production. Anything Goes takes you aboard the luxury liner, Ameri-can, as it sets out on an Atlantic voyage from New York to Lon-don. On board are various high society seekers. Reno Sweeny and her Angels, a singing group on tour; Billy Crocker, an honest New York business man ; and Moonface Martin, a murderer who is ranked as America's public enemy number thirteen, join ranks during the voyage. The plot follows the love story of Billy and Hope Harcourt; the love affair of Reno and Sir Evelyn Oakleigh; the mistaken identity of Billy as Scarface, Public Enemy Number One; and the escapades of Moonface Martin. Interspersed with musical interludes, dance Renaissance music group Mu-sic Antigua will be appearing at Bethel on Saturday, February 12 at 8 p.m. in the fieldhouse. The performance, a rug concert, is being co-sponsored by the music department and campus-coordi-nators. In recent years, audiences have discovered the sparkling delights of renaissance music. Musica Antigua has emerged as one of the foremost groups of this kind. Patterning themselves after the court musicians of renaissance Europe, the ensemble offers a wide variety of the unusual instrumentation of the period. numbers, and comic scenes, all events work to create a happy ending. In keeping with professional-ism, Chanhassen has created a unique attractive set. Combining the pleasing aesthetics of color coordinated costumes, pleasing lighting, good stage pictures, and a carefully chosen cast, Chanhassen offers a visual spec-tacle. For the theatre lover, Anything Goes offers an unforgettable theatre experience. The permeat-ing enthusiasm creates a spirit of participation, a feeling of belong-ing. Over all, the show was pro-duced and directed in good taste. Costumes were stunning and carefully coordinated with the set, the mood, the era, and for the cast. For the religious enthusiast, however, language may be a problem, as might be the "revival" meeting scene which was a bit over-played. Chanhassen Dinner Theatre not only offers a great theatre experi-ence, but serves a pre-show meal which can be thoroughly enjoyed. "We intend our production of Anything Goes to be the revival of a young old thing, not a sweet antique. The power and energy of the human body singing and dancing is not nostalgia and certainly not camp." Gary Gissel-man, producer/director explains in his program notes, "It is the product of the live performance. Celebrate the message: 'pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again!' " Krummhorns, kortholts, viols, dulcian, rankett and recorders are among the instruments heard in concert. Music Antigua was organized in 1969 by musicians who had been performing informally in the Twin Cities for several years. The ensemble specializes in medieval and renaissance music performed on authentic replicas of instru-ments of the period. The ensem-ble has appeared extensively in the Upper Midwest, principally at colleges and universities. The program includes selec-tions by William Cornish, William Byrd and Henry Purcell. school age. The play is produced by Paul Siemers. This is the second production this year for Paul, the first being The Importance of Being Earnest. Bilbo the hobbit is portrayed by Amy Ward while Bruce Bohne is cast as Gandalf, the Wizard, and Larry Matthias plays Thorin the egocentric dwarf. The Hobbit is a children's play, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't appeal to children of all ages. When the stage lights go up Wednesday night, we will all be drawn into the kaleidoscopic world of J.R.R. Tolkien. by Dan Erickson All the pounding and sawing and sanding and drilling coming from the experimental theatre this month is designed to do more than just ruin your diges-tion. It is a collection of goblins, hobbits, elves, dwarves, and a dragon or two preparing Mirk-wood Forest, the Shire, goblin's caves and many other imaginative places. All will be ready the nights of the 26th and 27th when the drama department, and the Children's Theatre class in particular, are proud to present The Hobbit, an adaptation of the book by J.R.R Tolkien. Tolkien's classic adventure into fantasy has long been a favorite among Bethel students and facul-ty, and the members of the cast hope to capture much of the adventure and fun. The class is concerned with not only putting on the children's play, but also in trying to develop a complete background in .children's theat-rics and creative dramatics. Grade school children from the Mounds View and Roseville area will be bussed to view the production on the 24, 25 and 26 of January.

An Egingelical Church which is just a little it diffexexttt Kevin Hallstrom named to All-America football team by Bruce Olsen To be named first team all- American is an award rarely experienced by most football players. For senior Kevin Hall-strom it marks a highpoint in his career that has seen many awards come and go. Hallstrom, a 5'10" 170 pound defensive back, has started for four years on the Bethel team. In 1974 and 1975 he was voted most valuable defensive back on the Royal squad. At the end of the 1975 season he was named by his teammates to be a captain for the 1976 season. This year he was named to the all-conference team, the all-district team, and finally to the National Associa-tion of. Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division II first team all-American. Hallstrom's all-American per-formance included 12 intercep-tions, establishing a new Bethel record. He also established a Bethel record with 22 career interceptions. Hallstrom originally came to Bethel in 1973 intending to play basketball. It was his best sport in high school, so he intended to carry it over into college. But the insistence of Coach "Chub" Reynolds, plus his excel-lent high school record (named to the all-conference team two years straight), led him to the gridiron in his freshman year. It is a move that Hallstrom has never regret-ted. Kevin attributes much of his success to Steve Payne, defen-sive backfield coach for the Royals. "Coach Payne has helped a lot," said Hallstrom. "He has a good football mind and is one of the best coaches around." "Of course (Coach) Chub (Rey-nolds) has helped a lot too," continued Hallstrom. Kevin went on to say that Reynold's direction as head coach and his support for the players made it easier to play well. The always-modest Hallstrom was not sure if he was the best candidate for the award. "I was real surprised when I was named to the all-American team," said Kevin. "I still don't think I deserve it. There were three or four other players on the team who deserved it as much as me." "But I'm sure it's good for the school," continued Hallstrom. He believed that having someone from Bethel being named all- American will help the school's reputation as a football power. Hallstrom believed the game against St. Olaf was "definitely my best game. It was the best game of my life. Everything went right." straight year. For most of those four years he has been the lead-off man for the team. Kevin's daily 100 percent out-put has brought him many rewards, including those in the classroom. He hopes to enroll this fall at the University of Minnesota to study dentistry. Hallstrom's all-American per-formance can be seen in his life both in the classroom and on the athletic field. He is one athlete who well deserves the title of all-American. Wrestling, continued from p.12 Coach Bill Heaton said the team had a rough day, but did all right under the circumstances. The team is 4-3 in dual meets on the season. In a triple-dual meet before Christmas, the team showed what they could do if they "put it all together." They beat two teams and lost to one. Presently, the team is ham-pered with some injuries, and two wrestlers are gone for interim. The schedule ahead looks tough, but everyone should be back in February. Jake Huizenga is still recovering from an injury, but he is moving around better now and hopes to be back by February. "The team is young, they'll get tougher with some experience," said Coach Heaton. "They're taking their licks this year, but if they stick at it, they'll be a good bunch of wrestlers." There are four freshmen and two sophomores on the team this year, and only one senior. "The team gets along good ; they're good to work with ; they'll improve." That's the coach's views, so the future seems to be a little more optimistic. Basketballers beat Hamline, face Macalester tonight by Gayle Trollinger The women's basketball team met Gustavus (here) on January 6. The two teams were closely matched and Bethel squeaked by the visiting team by one point, 58-57. On January 8 St. Benedicts out-rebounded Bethel to a four to one ratio and swept past the Royals, 82-39. "We were flat, our offensive game was poor," Coach Karyl Frye noted. Hamline and Bethel met on Thursday, January 13 at Hamline. Bethel dominated the entire game and won by a substantial margin, 58-27. Bethel began the game with a series of steals and forced jump balls. Bethel's full court zone press intimidated Hamline and forced sloppy passing and poor ball handling. Although Bethel's 3-2 defense dominated Hamline, the home team continued its "man to man" defense throughout virtually the entire game and was never able to use it successfully. However, Bethel lacked coor-dinated offensive plays, but Hamline's sloppy defense was a small deterrant to even the most poorly executed play. The officials called an amaz-ingly tight game and many calls were disputed by both players and coaches. Forty-five fouls were called on the teams as well as numerous traveling violations and jump balls. Hamline scored 13 of its 27 points on free throws, while approximately 25 percent of Bethel's points were on free throws. Coach Frye feels the team has definitely improved. "The fresh-men are willing to work hard. We have started working intensely on our defense and there have been positive results." The players hope to also "develop a man to man defense, but at this point don't have the finesse to pull it out." Frye added that although the defense is improving, the offense "still needs a lot of work — especially in the rebounding." Bethel has some interesting and potentially tough games ahead. Tonight they will precede the men's basketball game at 5:30 p.m. as they meet Macales-ter (here). They have soundly defeated Mac in a previous game; however, Frye was not satisfied. "Both teams played a messy game. We're looking forward to a cleaned up game." Bethel will also meet St. Olaf on January 25, St. Mary's on January 27 and a strong Concordia team on January 29. In the St. Olaf game Hallstrom recovered one fumble, was in on eight tackles, and intercepted two passes. He returned one pass for a touchdown. More impor-tantly for Hallstrom, they upset highly-regarded St. Olaf by a score of 20-0. Thought by many to be Beth-el's finest athlete, the soft-spoken Hallstrom continues to perform magnificently on the athletic field. This spring he will be starting at second base on the baseball team for the fourth In Hardwood Groves, continued from p. 4 some pictures right out of a mid-60's high-school health book to represent the old "dry type" of cut. He then showed me a picture of Robert Redford to show me the kind of look the wet cut would give me. "Now which one do you want to look like?" Naturally I didn't want to look like the last survivor of the "Leave It To Beaver" era, so I finally acquiesced to the "wet cut." "In a few years there won't be such a thing as a dry cut. Everything will be a wet cut. I'll bet it makes you nervous to see all this hair falling off doesn't it?" "To be quite frank, it certainly . . ." "Well, you don't need alot of hair to make hair look long. You're going to love this." "Now, how long do you want this? About this long?" He put his hand to the middle of my ear. "Actually I wanted it just a little longer . . ." "Oh don't be silly. It's going to look better short like this." "Hey listen pal. I'm paying good . . ." "Boy you're really going to love this. I could really do some nice things with your hair if you'd let me." An urbanely cautious conversation continued until Mr. Timm was finishing. He then explained the ritual he thought I was going to go through every morning to get my hair ready. "I don't have two hours every morning to stand in the john and tack-comb' my hair!" "Well why didn't you tell me. I would have given you a permanent." After he tried to sell me a $10 bottle of PH Balance Alkaline Neutralizer.

H 12:00 by Bruce Olsen Three hundred and fifty loyal Bethel fans braved sub-zero temperatures to see the Royal cagers win a come-from-behind victory by a score of 78-75. Fourteen second-half points by freshman Dave Blanchard led the Royals over Dordt College. Losing by as much as 14 points in the first half, the Royals found their shooting eyes to be blurred. Bethel shot a dismal 31 percent from the field, compared to 50 percent for Dordt. The first half score was 40-31 in favor of the Defenders. The second half appeared to be Grapplers take sixth in tough invitational by Ronn Kreps The Royal matmen traveled to St. John's University on Satur-day, Jan. 8 for their first meet in 1977. The meet was a nine team invitational. Each wrestler competed against all eight wrestlers in his class. The matches were short-ened to get them all finished with each match consisting of two one-and-a-half minute periods. In addition, the meet was all take-downs. This means that the wrestlers fight until one gets a take-down, then he must estab-lish immediate control or they stop and start over standing up. The Royals faced some tough competition, notably St. John's University, Willmar Junior Col-lege, and Lakehead College from Canada. St. John's took first place, Willmar and Lakehead tied for second. Bethel placed sixth out of the nine teams. Jeff Zitzloff put in a good performance, taking first in the 177 pound class. He finished with six wins and two ties for the day.
