(Photo by Dan Velie) the Clarion. Vol. 55 No. 3 Bethel College, St. Paul, MN Sept. 28, 1979 Crooked creek gets facelift with stones, wire by Jay Russell Bethel's creek is receiving a ma-jor facelift that will include four small waterfalls and four major curves, Physical Plant Director Jim Woods said last week in an in-terview. The creek is being reconstructed to accommodate a greater flow of water,, Woods explained. He stressed that development in the outlying areas in recent years has created a much larger flow of wa-. ter. The original creek bed does not have the capacity to handle this increased flow, and the result has been widespread erosion of the creek's bed. The new creek bed will have the capacity to handle this increased flow. Woods said that the creek's water volume stopped increasing because new developments in out-lying areas can no longer cause an increase in the volume of water entering the creek. Bethel's creek lies within the Rice Creek Watershed District and is only one of eleven other projects planned or under con-struction in the area. "The project involving our creek is probably the largest of the projects," Woods said. The entire creek is being re-vamped from its point of entry on Bethel's campus by highway 51, to its mouth in Lake Valentine. The creek drops approximately 22 feet along this 2,000 foot length. This steep drop greatly increases the speed of water as if flows through the campus. The new creek will have four drops, or small_ water-falls that will help slow the speed of the water. Woods explained that the drops will be lined with Gabions, or wire baskets designed to hold field stones. This will keep the bank from washing away and will help sift out some of the silt, but more importantly they will slow the wa-ter's speed. In addition to the drops from the pipes, the new creek will have four other small drops, ranging in height from one and a half to three feet tall. Woods also explained that the new creek will be much straighter, and will have only four major curves. "this will reduce the amount of erosion to the stream bed and banks of the stream," he said. In past years, water erosion to the creek's banks has become more noticeable, especially on the creek's winding curve. In addition to bank erosion, many trees have been undercut by the stream's cur-rent; making their removal neces-sary. Woods said that within the past four years, six trees along the creek's banks were removed. "A few years ago we had some heavy spring rains that caused flooding in the creek bed," Woods said. "The erosion on the creek's curves near the LRC build-ing hecame so bad, that the shift-ing coil began to threaten the foundation of the building. That was when we rip-rapped the bank's curves with railroad ties to stop the erosion." The new creek bed will be rip-rapped with field stone grouted in cement along each of the four curves. This will minimize the threat of erosion. Woods said, "The new creek bed will be from 9 to 18 feet wide, with the banks having a maximum width of 50 feet at the top. The banks will slope one foot down for every two feet across." The wider creek bed will allow a larger volume of water to flow through the creek. The new creek bed was calculated to handle the flow from the freak 100-year storm, he explained. Woods said that "the new creek will be lined with eight inches of crushed limestones in the creek bed, with sod laid on the banks." "This will look like a drastic change from the present. creek bed, but silt deposits and plant growth will gradually make the stream appear more natural." The new creek bed will not have negative effects on Lake Valen-tine. Woods said it may actually help improve the lake situation by Belton lives by Susan Peterson Dodging oxcarts and elephants was an everyday occurrence for Don Belton, assistant professor of social work, during his eleven-month sabbatical in S.E. Asia. Two of these months were spent in Sri Lanka due to visa problems, and the remaining months in In-dia. Belton, now in his eighth year in Bethel's social work department, lived in the city of Trivandrum in the state of Kerala, India, along with his wife Judy and their two children. "We wanted our family to live in a non-western culture," said Belton. "It is by understanding others that we understand our-selves, besides, I like mucking around in peoples' lives." While in Trivandrum, Belton taught a graduate course in social work and also a began a crimin-ology program at Loyola College, a Jesuit school. The Beltons chose Trivandrum for its "typical" Indian setting. restricting the amount of silt de-posited in the lake. Bethel's creek takes in water flow from the area bounded by highway 96, Lexington Ave., Hamline Ave., and the railroad tracks that border Bethel's cam-pus. The water that flows out of Lake Valentine drains into Long Lake. Woods said, "The project has been in the planning stages for se- Although it is the state capital, it resembles a big village. Only 25 Europeans lived in the city. The Beltons could have opted for royal treatment, how-ever, they chose to live a "middle caste" lifestyle. "Caste is connected with every-thing— buying power, marriage, vocations, and political parties," Belton said. "Poor people are kept in their place." Most of In-dia's people are poor; 70 per cent of the population fall below the U.N. poverty line. The few rich people live on es-tates worked by servants. One per cent of the population controls 95 per cent of the country's wealth. "You are important by who you know; who your friends are," he said. In the state of Kerala 20 per cent of the people are Christians. Just as caste controls Indian so-ciety, a parallel caste system con-trols the Church. Syrian Christians (those who owe their allegiance to the Angli-can Bishop of Syria) are consi-dered "high caste." All others, no yen to eight years." The project involving Bethel's creek will cost approximately $215,000, most of which has been funded through a federal grant. The remaining costs will be paid from local funding. Construction on the lower half of the creek will be completed in about three weeks, weather per-mitting. Woods said that the up-per sections were a little more complicated and would probably take a little longer to complete. matter how long they have been Christians will be called "con-verts." The two groups never mix. Belton quickly added, "Our churches here are just as bigoted. How many Blacks, or how many poor people do we include in our churches?" The Indian people are very hos-pitable and extremely curious. "The hardest thing for Westerners to adjust to is the lack of privacy," Belton said. "Many homes have no doors so if people want to visit you, they'll walk right in. If you lock your door, they will quietly move to a win-dow and patiently wait for you to notice them." Some Indians fear talking with Americans; they understand English but are embarrassed to speak it with their heavy accents. Belton was most disturbed by the sight of many beggars. "Peo-ple flaunt their deformities to make money," he said.

On Sept. 18, during the regular meeting of the student senate, the senators defeated a motion that would have made available the minutes of the executive board meetings. The executive board consists of Presi-dent Steven Hoswell, Vice-president Susan Stone, Treasurer Scott Bar-suhn, Secretary Caryl Brown and the president pro tem. They meet weekly to discuss coming legislation to make general plans concerning the student government. Under the proposed legislation, the minutes of those meetings would be published for the senate members. According to one observer the senate seemed in favor of the proposal at the outset. After much discus-sion and a recommendation by new Dean of Men Charlie Retts, how-ever, the senate voted to allow the executive board this measure of privacy. We view this as a sad step away from open government. Two years ago an administrative decision to abolish Bethel's per course payment plan and to replace it with a flat-rate tuition aroused ex-tensive anger and bitterness on the part of students, the likes of which is not often seen at Bethel. The issue then, as it is now, was not that a method of payment was to be changed, rather that the plan was con-ceived, approved and implemented without the slightest input by the student body. The president of the student senate was informed of the plan early in the school year, but was asked to keep the matter confidential. The stu-dent body at large decried this form of "government," while the student senate lost any sort of credibility. Recent senate administrations seem to have taken strides toward a more democratic sort of government; at least no major surprises have recently been sprung on the students. The Sept. 18 action seems to be a step away from a participatory government. Though Bethel College is a business, and should be administered as such, the student senate exists to facilitate student input to administrative decisions. True, the leaders of a government need privacy to discuss delicate and sensitive issues. Bin these discussions should be held in private, not in official board meetings where policy decisions and recommendations are made. An important issue deserves input from the student body, especially its elected representatives, before it is too late for that input to have an effect. We are not trying to paint a picture of a wily, cunning and ruthless clan of politicians, wraggling high-level decisions behind closed doors in a smoke-filled room. Hoswell and Stone have done a good job in a seemingly open and public student senate. But Bethel needs a more open approach to its decision making, from the top administrators on down, including the student senate. Macalester initiates 'Feeding a Hungry World' lecture series Three internationally renowned authorities on the issue of world food production will participate in a lecture series, "Feeding A Hun-gry World," at Macalester Col-lege this fall. The series, which begins Oct. 2, will focus on the role of climate on world food production, ways of expanding food supply through the development of new crops, and the role of the United States in easing food shortages. The series of six lectures, spon-sored by the Macalester College Hubert H. Humphrey Endowed Professorship Fund, is free and open to the public. All of the lec-tures will be held in the Olin Hall of Science Auditorium on the campus, 1600 Grand Ave. The lecturers are Reid A. Bry-son, director of the Institute of Environmental Studies at the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Madison, Richard Evans Schultes, director of the Botanical Museum of Har-vard University, and Walter P. Falcon, director of the Food Re-search Institute at Stanford University. Bryson is one of a handful of US scientists researching climatic changes brought about by hu-mans. He has made frequent na-tional and international headlines for his predictions that the world can probably expect another ice age within the next few centuries. Schultes is a world renowned botanist who spent 12 years of near-isolation in the Amazon jungle searching for rare plants. The world's leading authority on medicinal and hallucinogenic plants, he has also served as a con-sultant to many underdeveloped nations to help increase their agri-cultural productivity and export potential. Falcon is an internationally known expert on the economics of agriculture, particularly in rela-tion to underdeveloped countries. He also is a member of the Pre-sidential Commission on World Hunger. He studied the economics of farming in the underdeveloped ara of Pakistan. He also has studied the effects of the so-called "Green Revolution"—the introduction of high yield plants—and the impact of land reform in Third World countries. The schedule for the lecture series is: Tuesday, October 2, 7:30 p.m. Desserts of the Future. Reid A. Bryson, Ph.D. Thursday, October 4, 7:30 p.m. Impact of Climatic Change on World Food Supply.

Proposition: If God once used a "chicken of the sea" like Jonah of Tarshish in his plans for Nineveh, then why couldn't he put to use Bethel's "good tasting tuna" in his plans for "Charlie?" Well, he did in the mind of "Charlie" Retts, who recently took the bait as Bethel's new dean of men. Charlie's decision may not correlate exactly with this fishy analogy, but his call to Be-thel seemed strangely similar. As a former student affairs associate at Azuza Pacific College in California, Charlie had little notion of the open position at Bethel, or even where Bethel was on the map. At a National Student Affairs convention he briefly met a guy named Wink Menser, and later heard of the opening for applica-tions, of which he sent many, at Bethel. In the following weeks, however, Charlie had possible positions at many other larger Universities out west, and forgot about Bethel for the time being. June came in sunny California and so did a phone call from Mack Nettleton, asking if Charlie would consider an interview soon. "I had to refuse," said Charlie. "I had some other jobs available and knew so little about Bethel." Six weeks later Bethel got a phone call, this time from Charlie, asking if the position was still open. Something, maybe a still small voice, convinced him to look into this Christian school in far-off Minnesota. "I was told that there were now a few candidates who were being interviewed, but that if I was still a possible chance for the job I'd get a call," said Charlie with a re-lieved look on his face. He could relax, knowing that if the Lord wanted him at Bethel he'd receive the call, otherwise "one of those guys would most likely get the job." Come the end of July, Charlie received another surprising call from Mack Nettleton asking if he could "fly out for an interview as soon as possible." After some prayer, and women's intuition from his wife Laura, Charlie left Los Angeles, in a step of faith, for an interview in the land of Ninev...Minnesota. After the trip out and the inter-view, Charlie was offered the position and accepted the role as dean of men at Bethel. He says that he made his decision partly based upon Bethel's good reputa-tion and from his experience while being on campus. "Most of the students I talked with were friendly," he explained. "they seemed more directive in their lives than many students I knew." Charlie's only regret was having to cope with the Siberian climate in Minnesota, and the reality of less good Mexican food. Despite that, he said, "I knew I could do the best job here, and so did my wife." As dean of men, that job would let him, handle many responsi-bilities which he enjoyed doing, instead of one specialized area. Among those responsibilities are some of the following: ISA ad-visor and student senate advisor, student counseling services, leader of orientation at Bethel—that's Welcome Week—and programs for academic improvement. Included in this list, to some people, is the notion that the main reason for a dean is so he can pun-ish those "lifestyle losers" of the devilish sort. Charlie hopes he can dispell this myth among students at Bethel. After all, how would it look if a new T.V. series entitled, "Charlie's Devils" appeared in the Student Affairs section of the campus? Also, Charlie assured me that he won't speak with students through an intercom either, but will meet them in person. by Patty Sutton "Who I am is in these," Scott Hafemann commented after answering several "trivial" ques-tions concerning his past life while picking up some pieces of course material. Teaching full-time for his first semester at Bethel, Hafemann is a member of the Biblical and Theological Studies Department. Over the past two years he has taught three courses here while studying at Bethel and Luther Se-minaries. Hafemann graduated from Be-thel College in 1976 with a concen-tration in New Testament Studies. He went on to Fuller Seminary where he earned an M.A. in his-torical theology, though some of his credits were transferred from Bethel and Luther Seminaries. Hafemann is a newlywed of six months. He and his wife, Debrah, are expecting a baby around Feb. 10. They are living at the Dan Taylor's on Lake Johanna. Tay-lor, assistant professor of lan-guage and literature, is now in England on a study tour. Next year the Hafemanns plan a move to Germany so that Scott Almost Anything Goes contes-tant grimaces as she absorbs the shock of a bursting water balloon. (Photo by Tom Twin-ing) can attend the University of Tubi-ngen to work on his Ph.D. That will take at least three years. When he finishes, Hafemann plans to return to the States and find a teaching position here. It doesn't matter to him where he finally lives because he moved so much as a child. "My dad was an executive with Goodyear so we moved around quite a bit," he said. He says he lived mostly in the Midwest and when asked to pinpoint a home-town he said he considers Minne-sota as "a kind of big hometown." He agrees with Christopher Derrick's book "Escape from Scepticism: Liberal Education as if Truth Mattered." He doesn't think "the transfer of notes from the teacher to the student's note-book" is a good way to run a class. In his "Introduction to Bible" syllabus Hafemann says, "The purpose of a liberal-arts education is ultimately not the transfer of knowledge from one group of people to another, but to teach the student how to pursue that know-ledge for himself." Teaching full-time keeps him busy. He says he doesn't have any "spare time" since he is usually preparing for class—something he enjoys. When he's not studying for classes, his favorite activity is reading. He likes to read inter-pretations of the New Testament, Old Testament, history, and Christian thinkers. Hafemann also enjoys any book that "attempts to explain reality" such as Kant, Aristotle and C.S. Lewis. He doesn't care to read about the "great thinkers" but would rather try to under-stand them himself. "I'd rather read Paul than a commentary on Ephesians," he said. Hafemann believes a liberal-arts education is meant to teach a person how to intelligently evaluate reality for himself. Other things he enjoys are his church involvement, being with friends, playing racquetball, and watching the Green Bay Packers.

Chapel speakers talk about needs in the world, and how the Christian is responsible to help the hungry and oppressed. But what can a Bethel student do about all this? In order to answer that question and put their answer into action, several faculty members and stu-dents formed the Christian Disci-pleship Coalition (CDC) last spr-ing. Don Postema, who says he "just provides the impetus" for CDC, said the coalition has two main goals. The first concern of CDC, he said, is to make the Bethel corn-munity aware of needs in the world. The second concern is ac-tion. Members of the CDC become aware of needs of organizations such as Bread for the World, Amnesty International, and World Vision. One way they can put their awareness into action is by writing letters to congressmen about food problems overseas, something that lobbying group Bread for the World is concerned about. They can also write letters to men in political leadership posi-tions around the world to discour-age them from torturing political prisoners. Besides becoming aware and writing letters, Postema said students can identify with the poor by leading a simpler lifestyle. of social work, spent last year on learn the things you learned when small, and now no one will teach you." A feeling of "panic" strikes when you don't remember how to correctly cross a street, or what to do first in a supermarket. Helping "reenculturate" mis-sionaries is an interest of Belton's. The entire experience "confirm-ed my conviction that there is something very evil in middle class values," he said. "Living simply, having a sense of community, and "Many students want to simplify the menus and make the best use of their resources, such as clothes." He said that CDC is not a group who attempts to have a "holier than thou" image, or be ve-getarians and wear rags. Rather, they are attempting to be "re-sponsible in light of God's Word and in community with others," Postema said. "We're not out to incriminate anyone," he said. "But we will point the finger of judgement at institutional practices." The CDC has suggested an alternative to the annual All-school Banquet. They feel that the money spent for food, etc., seemed "to be an ir-responsible use of resources." CDC is also concerned with the menu in food service, and making students aware of what they eat. "We want to sensitize people as how to best use their resources," Postema said. )4, Alli sabbatical in India. (Photo by sharing with others are far more important." "My relationship with God has always been a rational thing," he continued, "but there were many events in which there appeared to be a supernatural intervention— meeting the right people, finding a good church, getting our visas. I've never been as conscious of that kind of intervention." As far as Bethel is concerned, a cross-cultural flavor will be added in the social work department. So much of the social work here is based on "middle class values and a European heritage," said Belton. The basic Western theo-ries taught have to do with solving problems. "We want to be in con-trol of our lives," he said. On the other hand, Eastern theories em-phasize, "becoming, discovering our identity and helping a person become part of a network of rela-tionships." "We must learn that, when work-ing with different people, we must resolve problems in a way comfor-table to them, rather than to our-selves. However, in order to do this, we must first learn from them." This will ake a "little more lis-tening," and a lot more "muck-ing." by Suzi Wells Sharing Jesus Christ with In-dian alcoholics in Vancouver, British Columbia brought SMPer Dave Eckert both joy and frus-tration this summer. at "So many guys' lives are wrap-ped up in alcohol," he said. Many only wanted help with alcohol, not with the deeper problem, which is the sin in their lives," he explained. This summer, Dave, the current president of Bethel's Student Mis-sionary Project (SMP) and 34 other students went to all parts of the world. Each student had different responsibilities. Some sang on tour in the group "Proclamation," some taught English, and others worked in of-fices. Dave worked for North American Indian Mission. After seeing beautiful slides and listen-ing to stories former SMPers told of British Columbia, he was ex-cited to see that area. Instead of working in the wilderness or on Indian reserves, though, Dave worked in the city. "This summer they started an ur-ban ministry, and they asked for volunteers." Dave volunteered because he had just completed a paper on skid row alcoholics. He also spent the previous fall semester in San Francisco in Westmont's Urban Studies program. Working with alcoholics was often frustrating for Dave. But in spite of the frustrations, Dave realized the Lord could use him. "We were able to plant a seed," he said. "We saw that these guys' salvation was not dependent on us." Dave said he and his teammate realized how great God is. "We were united as a team in the Word and in prayer," he said. "I just scratched the surface in realizing the power in prayer." Julie Redenbaugh spent her summer working in Florida for Teen Missions. She condensed and sent out reports to over 50 teams, relating what each of the teams in all parts of the world, was doing. In spite of her handicap (Julie has cerebral palsy), Julie partici-pated in part of the Teen Missions rigorous two-week boot camp. Although most of the teens slept in tents, climbed 25 feet of dangling rope and swung across rivers on ropes like Tarzan, Julie limited her activities to climbing "The Wall." Team members help each other climb the wall. "Everything is team oriented," Julie explained. "There is a rule: no pairing off, because they couldn't maintain team unity." Julie slept on the floor in the back of her office during boot camp and ate in the "jungle" with the other teens. "We weren't allowed to have ice milk or hot water," Julie recalled. "The teams had to bathe in the river with their swim suits on." After boot camp, the teams departed but Julie stayed to work in Florida. Julie had her "special" typewriter sent Jo her to facilitate typing. (Julie has been typing since second grade). Like Dave, Julie had frustrating times. "I felt really alone when all the teams left," she said. "I learn-ed to appreciate home." "It was challenging for me," she added.

Teaching classes in the church he attended, Mark had 34 pupils. Eleven were children and 14 were not Christians. Less than one per-cent of the Japanese are Chris-tians. "There is a narrow road to heaven in Japan," Mark explain-ed, "not a six-lane highway like in America. The Japanese have quality Christianity, not quantity." Some reasons more • Japanese are not Christians is because Bud-dhism, Shintoism and secularism are so prevelant there. "Christianity breaks up the homogeneity," Mark said. The Japanese are a very unified group. Mark spent a lot of time with his students outside the classroom. They visited many cul-tural attractions, such as the Tea Gardens in Kyoto, and the largest wooden temple in the world in Nara. • Two of Mark's students ac-cepted Christ, a small miracle in such a country. Mark also had the opportunity to share with a Bud-dhist monk, who even visited Mark's church. Mark said he would like to return to Japan. "The need is so great," he stressed. The high cost of living keeps many missionaries away.

All college students share this one ugly memory: the summer job. Granted, there have always been those few disgusting individuals who breeze back to school each fall brimming with tales of whirlwind sum-mer months spent in Tokyo or Bermuda, but they're exceptions. (Ignore them. Better yet, well up saintly tears of reminiscence and murmur selflessly, "I worked with Hennepin derelicts all summer—for the Lord.")) Take my word for it, 99.5% of all Bethelites (statistics not for release) stagger back to Arden Hills, emotionally unbalanced masses of over-worked flesh who shriek at the words, "cash register," "double cheese-burger, medium fries," and "camp counselor." After three months of "vacation," even two-hour "quizzes" and soggy sloppy joes (@ $.65 ea.) spell utopia. Trouble starts every summer when employers realize that college students are only available three months. ("Ohhh," say interviewers leaning over my shoulder as I write "summer work" on applications. "Just till August, huh? You've got the wrong form." The second asks questions more probing: 1) Are you willing to work over 18 hours per day? 2) Is a lunch break really necessary? 3) When would you be available to do the manager's housecleaning? But just how low can a financially insecure collegiate sink? To what depths will she descend? What catastrophic circumstances could induce an ordinary Bethel student with a standardized major, 3. + GPA, and "nice" family embrace that infamous poor-person's summer occupa-tion, telephone sales? This summer's vocational goals had been modest. I dreamed of don-ning trim camp ranger uniform and commuting to Redwood Forest, there to rove campsites in my shiny jeep, answering adoring tourists' questions. I also thought lovingly of an assignment setting a struggling publishing firm on its feet, of exposing captive young minds to the freedoms of Montessori... An irritable employment agency representative informed me that no, there were not any openings for batch tasters at a fudge factory, nor was there currently a demand for apprentice highwire performers. He curtly referred me to the local temporary services agency. It was midsummer now, and after another lunch of dill pickles and bread crust, I was easy to persuade. Dejectedly, I promised the tem-porary office I'd accept any job they dug up—anything of course, short of telephone sales. My first day in telephone sales dawned drab and humid. I pulled ner-vously into the parking lot of a decrepit brick building. Lightning rent the darkened sky in terrible, ominous flashes. A hunched creature with greying temples, nervously clutching hands, and a black cape waited for me at the door. His college ring looked new. "You're the replacement?" He chortled in insane glee as he led me down a winding, cob-webbed hallway. "Your phone." He pointed to a dilapidated, nail-scratched machine, and abruptly leaped upon the desk. "Phone numbers! Phone numbers! Phone numbers!" he intoned, flinging a Portland phone book into my suddenly trembling arms. He stumped toward the door. I was alone—alone with the telephone. My first call began well, thanks to a tasteful, hand-scrawled script I speedily composed ("HellothisisShellyNielsenrepresenting—"). Unex-pectedly, my inquisitive client interrupted the neatly-planned monologue. "Who?" I searched my text frantically for reference to spontaneous queries.. Startled, as I was by this digression from my outline, I made rapid im-promptu response with the finesse of an experienced telephoner. "I'm sorry. I'm not qualified to answer that question, but if you'll give me your full name, weight, and savings account number, I'll have a sales rep contact you." There was a short silence followed by a prolonged buzzing noise. My second would-be customer allowed me time enough to vocalize my speech, but even after the oozingly sincere, "Oh, that's all right. Thank you so much anyway," refused to buy. Neither did he gush over my pleasant phone voice. I hung up on him, insulted and disillusioned. Outcomes of these calls had to be recorded on information cards, and I meticulously printed names and addresses in my own style of "News Gothic" lettering. Not only was the phoning interrupting my creative calligraphy process, it was damaging my emotional equilibrium. This reasoning justified my abandoning the calls altogether to instead pro-duce heaping mounds of artistic info forms. I was enthusiastically starting my third page of "P"s when my lunatic trainer appeared at the door, brandishing a machete. His suggestion was that I return to my dialing. Issuing curses upon summer employment in general, I spliced together the pieces of telephone cord I had just cut. Having mastered the superhuman technique of racing through an en-tire sales pitch without a breath, I practiced the more subtle complexities of telephonal persuasion. I developed three distinct voices: The Marilyn Monroe—breathy, ir-resistable, the Camille—shy and prone to tragic, sudden, and fatal at-tacks of ill health, and (my last resort) the refuse-me-and-I-cry tone. None of my innovative defense mechanisms seemed to work any ef-fect upon the sympathies of my listeners, however. Even after I had sifted my forms into logical order ("nicest" names on top), I continued to suffer insults from individuals who resented my purely businesslike interest in their personal lives. Repeatedly, I endured the humiliation of stuttering, the trauma of my forgetting the company's name, the devastation of flat rejection. None of this preliminary agony, though, could guarantee my emo-tional survival of a fateful call to "H.G." During our 30-second conver-sation, he voiced some sincere sentiments of his own heartfelt "Thank you so very much anyway" failed to move him. I spent the remainder of the summer shuffling info cards and dialing wrong numbers. Perhaps learning patience and longsuffering makes three months of pain worthwhile. Perhaps I'm a better person having sojourned in this valley of the shadow of death. Perhaps in eight months, I'll again be sta-ble enough to face another summer job. But until a shocking portion of fellow students and I can be convinced that pain is blessed...thank goodness for vacation at Bethel. Bethel grad Suzie Lane serves as Social Ministries Coordinator. (Photo by Dan Velie) Social Ministries position created for area outreach by Lori Rydstrom "I want Bethel students to real-ize that they have a very important ministry in the secular world." That is how Suzie Lane describes her personal goal as the new So-cial Ministries Coordinator for Bethel. Suzie, a 1978 Bethel graduate, works with agencies in the Twin Cities area that need volunteer workers, gets them in touch with interested students, and then follows up to see how it's working out for both the agency and the student. Her job started as a social work internship, so she was responsible for creating many aspects of the program. As the number of stu-dents involved in volunteer min-istries grew from 15 in 1976 to 153 in 1979, the need for a full-time program coordinator arose. The position is funded by a grant from the Minneapolis Foundation. The opportunities that social ministries offer are directed to-wards the interest of the students.

Kicking off a new semester this year in the col-lege gallery and running through the rest of this weekend is another excellent showing by our own art department faculty members. A walk though the gallery af-fords the viewer glimpses into the personalities and people that make up the department. These works tell us who these people are, where they are now in their artistic endeavors and even say something about their teaching. The artists used a variety of ma-terials, and a wide range of final pieces are in the display. Some of the pieces are new endeavors for the artists. Such growth makes this show exciting. So make it a. point to go into the art gallery. Meet our faculty mem-bers through the pieces that are on display. EXHIBITION SEPTEMBER 7-28, 1979 FACULTY BETHEL COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS Fine Arts Gallery 3900 Bethel Dr. Arden Hills, MN. 55112 Twin Cities Theater Local drama productions entice cultural connoisseurs by Scott Barsuhn To those of the Bethel com-munity who may be new to the Twin Cities area, and to those who have just returned after sev-eral months away—good news. Excellent theatre going oppor-tunities await you. Recently opened at the Chimera Theatre in Saint Paul is that tested and true old-time musical, "Guys and Dolls." With songs that you may remember your mother sing-ing around the house, this love story with a tune truly entertains. The story takes place- in gang-ster- era Chicago and involves a somewhat detailed and humorous look at the lives of a few singing bad guys. Nathan Detroit, played by David Ira Goldstein does a com-mendable job as he avoids the marriage issue and chor.us girl, Miss Adelaide (Cynthia Horton), and tries to • set up an illegal gambling operation. Comedy begins when his "wife-to-be-someday" informs him that to en-courage her mother she has told her that they have been married for several years and have several children. Meanwhile our second leading man, Sky Masterson, played by Bob Wills also avoids, and then falls in love with a woman of re-ligious convictions, played by Joan Elizabeth Phalen. An inter-esting series of events ensues as this gangster and lady of dignity get together. All works out in the end however, and as in most all musicals, the hero gets his woman and if a bad guy—as in this case—turns over a new leaf and goes straight. The production is highlighted by a fine supporting cast and a va-riety of well done song and dance numbers. Although dated, and often times moving at a somewhat slow pace, this show is still a fun evening for all guys and dolls, and will run through October 2. On a strikingly different note, for those who appreciate variety, "The Time of Your Life" at the Theatre in the Round in Minnea-polis features serious drama and interesting character study. The action takes place in the late thirties and centers around the events in a San Francisco honky-tonk (or for the braver, saloon). The audience is introduced to many interesting characters dur-ing the one full day at this quality establishment. Outstanding performances are given by Hobe Harden, Stephen Roeser, Randy Lindstrom, John Smith and Bob Lockman, a Bethel graduate. Comment is made about the games that all of us play, our roles in those games, and perhaps with some thought, even why we play them. Although the action at times seems unevenly paced, the charac-ters are well defined and well por-trayed. This evening is well spent and will provide for much thought and reflective conversation at any interesting Cedar-Riverside restaurant within walking dis-tance. It's a show to see, and will run through October 20. Mention must also be made that this is the final weekend of "Side by Side by Sondheim" at the Bloomington Civic Theatre. This musical review is very entertaining with Bethel Graduate Carole Anderson stealing the show with her part in such memorable songs as "Broadway Baby" and "You Gotta Get A Gimmick." Tickets may still be available, and in-cluding this show in your weekend guarantees an interesting evening.

Page 7 Coffeehouses offer stage, by Mari Broman More than Christian entertainment, coffeehouses allow Christian musicians with little fun-ding to share their talents, said Timm Rolek of New Horizon cof-feehouse. Formerly of the group "Trilogy," Rolek and Al Nygard, now a Bethel student, began the Brooklyn Center ministry in April, 1979. New Horizon, like the other Twin City coffeehouses, books a variety of the 200-plus musical groups available in *he area—from blue-grass, ballads and blues, to country and contem-porary. The monthly open-stage nights introduce new talent, and although most of the groups are amateur, Rolek said they have had no "out-to-lunch" musicians. Located in the renovated base-ment of Cross of Glory Lutheran Church, New Horizon started as a community outreach financed pri-marily by the church. The snack bar helps pay some expenses. Rolek's ministry attempts to preach Christ through music and the lives of the staff, rather than "to push anything on anybody," Rolek said. "Subtlety is a much more effective means than hitting someone over the head with a brick," he added. The staff of the other area cof-feehouses share this opinion. Lo-gos, the oldest coffeehouse in the Twin Cities, has a Bible study and movies at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, but the message on Friday and Sa-turday comes in the music, with a short devotional during a break. Logos also provides a counseling program. The suburban location of Gene-sis House calls for a different counseling ministry. "We want to be progressive," said Director Steve McDill, "and allow people to make a contribution to their friends." The days are passing quickly, and we have already reached the end of September. To end the month with a bang, special activi-ies have been planned for Friday night and Saturday! On Friday, the 28th, everyone is invited to the "Movies and Munchies!" Besides eating all the pizza possible, the movies, "The Rescuers" and "The Twelve Chairs," will be shown for your entertainment. You'll be laughing all night. Meet us in the gym at 8:00 p.m. and bring $1.00. Saturday will prove to be really fun when you join your friends in spending a day at Valley Fair. The Genesis also has an optional Bi-ble study in the middle of the Sa-turday evening music downstairs in Crystal Free Church. During this time they play taped music upstairs for those who choose not to participate. "But, approx-imately 50 of the 100-150 people go to the Bible study," said McDill. The Upper Room serves in ano-ther way. Because it is located on the 3rd floor of the Soul's Harbor church, 75% of the people that come are Christians. "People should feel comfortable bringing their non-Christian friends, though," said staff member Tim Ralph. The Upper Room offers food, music, and Christian drama each Friday.

As many as 200 people go through the doors three Fridays a month to hear the music. Once a month the coffeehouse closes while Clyde Digit and Fa-mily, a professional drama group, stages a play. In October they will present "The Velvetine Rabbit." Other coming productions include original works "The Princess and the Players," and "The Juggler of Notre Dame," in November and December. Redeemer Lutheran Church in Fridley, formerly the location of the Rising Son coffeehouse, now holds a Praise Fest every Saturday night, with a special concert once a month. Although the coffee-house is now discontinued, the fests provide opportunities for Christians to get together for prayer, worship and singing. New Horizon 5940 Ewing Ave. N.

The bonfire will be held at "picnic hill" over by the Seminary. Of course, the icing on the cake by Greg Kuntz Among the new faces at Bethel this year is George Henry, taking on the role of athletic director and skipper of the physical education-al department. An articulate and outspoken man, Henry enjoys working and getting things done for people. Henry came to Bethel this sum-mer from Keene State College in New Hampshire, where he super-vised student teachers in physical education. He had previously coached football at Owen Valley High School in Indiana, and was a guidance counselor and director of a Young Life Club while com-pleting his doctorate at Indiana University. He is an alumnus of Tarkio College in Missouri. He also coached football, basketball and track while teaching history and P.E. at Tarkio High. School. Henry said that he is excited to is the Keith Green Concert to be held on Saturday night. No tickets will be sold, because there will be a love offering taken, and the con-cert begins at 8:00 p.m. at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Buses be a part of Bethel. "I like the people here. They are dedicated and hard working," he said. He feels much needs to be done about Bethel athletics. "I will be working to meet a lot of people to identify with. There are many who ant to do something for Bethel and I want them to know how they can help the P.E. depart-ment. I want to continue re-cruiting athletes who will posi-tively reflect Bethel," said Henry. "I'll be meeting people from other departments to understand their needs too," he said. "We want to make fair and responsible decisions concerning the athletic program here," he added. "but a lot of time is needed." Henry feels that Bethel has a sense of purpose and that he has a sense of purpose being here. "I accept the challenge of leadership here. Ultimately, we leave things to the Lord and His leading," he said. those of you who need transpor-tation. Keith Green is an excellent performer with a genuine love for God! You won't want to miss this concert. What a great week. Get involved and enjoy every minute Notice: Tryouts for cheerleaders for basketball, hockey and wrestling will be held on Tuesday evening, Oct.2 in the wrestling room. A clinic to learn cheers and what is needed for tryouts will be held tonight from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. also in the wrestling room. Guys with gymnastic experience or willingness to try are en-courages to come too! October festivities include football, coronation Jon Fredrickson's two goals paced Bethel past Hamline.

Macalester had performed respectably the week before (re-spectable is a relative term in this context), while Bethel was a victim of big plays as they bowed to St. Thomas 42-14. Perhaps, as the ru-mor suggested, Macalester was finally in a position to prevent their renown from becoming more dubious. Bethel's football team played as though they had been insulted that Macalester, the press, or any-body had the audacity to entertain a notion that Bethel would be the opponent that inaugurated a new losing streak for Macalester by ending the old one. Led by Ken Cooper, Jim An-derstrom and an aggressive de-by Ellie Abbott After being defeated by Augs-burg on Wednesday, 2-0, the Be-thel soccer team came back and upended Hamline University 3-1 on Saturday. On Wednesday Sept. 19, Bethel traveled to Ft. Snelling Field and lost to Augsburg 2-0. "We con-trolled the ball from start to fin-ish," said Coach Mark Leigh, "but just couldn't put it in the net." Bethel had several good shots including an open break by Marc Maillefer, and other fine shots by Mark Johnson, Joel Kraakevik, and senior Doug Hage. After Augsburg scored their se-cond goal, the Royals played su-perb defense and Augsburg didn't even take the ball past the half line. Coach Leigh was pleased with the team effort against Augsburg and said, "We have only played together for two weeks and it takes some time to get it together." fense that intercepted four passes, the Royals crushed the Scots 31-6. There would be no renaissance this week at Bethel's expense. The Royals asserted themselves immediately, with Anderstrom or-chestrating a touchdown drive on Bethel's intitial possession. The drive, highlighted by a long pass from Anderstrom to Cooper, was culminated on a 13-yard smash by Dave Kadlec. Paul Lindberg kick-ed the extra point and Bethel led, 7-0. On Bethel's second possession they again marched mechanically toward a second touchdown. Again the big play was a long pass, this time a halfback option from Tom Klitzke to Cooper. The touchdown was scored on a two-yard run by Klitzke, and after Lindberg's conversion, the Royal's led 14-0. Early in the second quarter, In Saturday's game against Hamline, Jon "Freddy" Fredrick-son turned in a strong perfor-mance for the Royals to beat Hamline 3-1. All four goals were scored in the second half of the game. The first goal, scored by Fredrickson, was an indirect free kick which Bethel had learned and practiced this past week. Soon after Bethel scored, Ham-line tied it up 1-1 from a rebound on a shot the goalie, Jeff Beck-man, made a nice save on. The Royals came back soon af-ter with a penalty kick made by Jon Fast to lead Hamline 2-1. Bethel still had energy though, and with approximately one min-ute left in the game Fredrickson scored again on a throw-in from the sideline which hit off the goal-ie's hand and into the net. Bethel's strong team effort on Saturday paid off. Their record is now 2-1 and coach Leigh is "look-ing forward to the rest of the sea-son." Bethel meets St. Thomas this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Bethel scored their third touch-down, this time on a 38-yard touchdown toss from Anderstrom to Paul (Oral) Roberts. Roberts broke a tackle and outran the defense en route to the score. Lindberg added the point and Bethel led 21-0. Meanwhile, Bethel's defense was playing excellent football. The defense set up Bethel's fourth score on an alert defensive play by Jeff Bergeson, who intercepted a pass and ran it back inside the Ma-calester twenty. Four plays later Lindberg entered the game and drilled a 35-yard field goal to make it 24-0. The score remained 24-0 until the fourth quarter when Macal-ester scored their only points of the day on a 35 7_yard run by Den-nis Czech. Bethel answered that score a few minutes later when Frank Sanza caught a 13-yard touchdown strike from Ander-strom, completing a drive that featured a well-executed inside re-verse to Peter Kramka. Lindberg _ kicked the point, making it 31-6. For Bethel, Ken Cooper was brilliant. The smooth junior from Rolling Meadows, Illinois, caught 8 passes for 149 yards. Several of his receptions were ^ in traffic where he had to come back to the ball. Anderstrom again played well in engineering all four touch-down drives and throwing two touchdown passes. The defensive performance included intercep-tions by Randy Fredin, Dan Stockfish, Mike Hoffner, and Jeff Bergeson. Bethel's next game is tomorrow afternoon at Collegeville against St. John's. by Laura Woodruff For the first time, the turnout for women's volleyball necessita-ted a roster trimming. Coach Karyl Frye had to cut eleven women from the 35 that tried out for volleyball this fall. The team is young, with four freshmen on varsity and seven on J.V. Sheryl Meyer and Janet Peterson are the co-captains. Gracia Dalgren, JoAnn Griffin, Kris Lindstrom, Cheryl Madson, Tami Miller, Denise Nygren, Merry Olmstead, Lori Olsen, Sonya Olsen, Deb ,.Omath, Janet Peterson and Joy Sorensen make up the varsity squad. Coach Frye has noticed that they need more experience together since the team is so young. They placed sixth in the Bemidji Invitational on Friday and Satur-day Sept. 21 and 22, by winning two matches and losing three. Bethel defeated St. Thomas 15-8, 18-16, 15-9 and North Dakota State U. by Shari Goddard The Bethel women's cross-country team finished ninth out of twelve teams in its first scored meet of the season, the Lake Nokomis Royal Invitational, last Friday. Ellie Abbott placed first for Bethel and 34th out of 115 run-ners. "So far I really like it (cross-country), I think we'll be a close team. Denise Egge was the star last year. This year the top five are closer together," she said. Sophomore Wendy Norberg and junior Brenda Harris, cap-tain, placed 42nd and 50th respec-tively. Coach Frye commented, "We played some good matches." She was pleased about the weekend because the team played well even though it was their first of the sea-son. Bethel's serving percentage was over 90 which gave them the high-est of any team at the invitational. This shows improvement because their serving has been weak in the past. Cheryl Madson's and Kris Lindstrom's good back row play and Lori Olsen's excellent front row play were noticeable. On Wednesday, Oct. 3, Bethel will play St. Mary's at 5:30, and Winona at 7:30, here. On Oct. 4 they play at St. Theresa at 6:30. Coach Frye hopes students will take in all of the homecoming events and see the Concordia-St. Paul game on the morning of Oct. 6, here at 9:30, "We hope people will come watch good volleyball; we have a good team this year," she said. Illness kept Bethel's fourth, fifth, and sixth ranked runners out of this meet. "Despite that we did well. Runners who had never run before did well," said Abbott. The meet had a mixture of Be-thel's division and upper division teams. "We ran against some strong teams," said Coach Shirley Dawson. "It was a high class meet." "I think in our division we'll probably be third or fourth," she added. "It'll be really competitive for the second, third and fourth places. Number one spot is pretty much sewn up by St. Olaf."

Vol. 55 No. 3 Bethel College, St. Paul, MN Sept. 28, 1979 Crooked creek gets facelift with stones, wire by Jay Russell Bethel's creek is receiving a ma-jor facelift that will include four small waterfalls and four major curves, Physical Plant Director Jim Woods said last week in an in-terview. The creek is being reconstructed to accommodate a greater flow of water,, Woods explained. He stressed that development in the outlying areas in recent years has created a much larger flow of wa-. ter. The original creek bed does not have the capacity to handle this increased flow, and the result has been widespread erosion of the creek's bed. The new creek bed will have the capacity to handle this increased flow. Woods said that the creek's water volume stopped increasing because new developments in out-lying areas can no longer cause an increase in the volume of water entering the creek. Bethel's creek lies within the Rice Creek Watershed District and is only one of eleven other projects planned or under con-struction in the area. "The project involving our creek is probably the largest of the projects," Woods said. The entire creek is being re-vamped from its point of entry on Bethel's campus by highway 51, to its mouth in Lake Valentine. The creek drops approximately 22 feet along this 2,000 foot length. This steep drop greatly increases the speed of water as if flows through the campus. The new creek will have four drops, or small_ water-falls that will help slow the speed of the water. Woods explained that the drops will be lined with Gabions, or wire baskets designed to hold field stones. This will keep the bank from washing away and will help sift out some of the silt, but more importantly they will slow the wa-ter's speed. In addition to the drops from the pipes, the new creek will have four other small drops, ranging in height from one and a half to three feet tall. Woods also explained that the new creek will be much straighter, and will have only four major curves. "this will reduce the amount of erosion to the stream bed and banks of the stream," he said. In past years, water erosion to the creek's banks has become more noticeable, especially on the creek's winding curve. In addition to bank erosion, many trees have been undercut by the stream's cur-rent; making their removal neces-sary. Woods said that within the past four years, six trees along the creek's banks were removed. "A few years ago we had some heavy spring rains that caused flooding in the creek bed," Woods said. "The erosion on the creek's curves near the LRC build-ing hecame so bad, that the shift-ing coil began to threaten the foundation of the building. That was when we rip-rapped the bank's curves with railroad ties to stop the erosion." The new creek bed will be rip-rapped with field stone grouted in cement along each of the four curves. This will minimize the threat of erosion. Woods said, "The new creek bed will be from 9 to 18 feet wide, with the banks having a maximum width of 50 feet at the top. The banks will slope one foot down for every two feet across." The wider creek bed will allow a larger volume of water to flow through the creek. The new creek bed was calculated to handle the flow from the freak 100-year storm, he explained. Woods said that "the new creek will be lined with eight inches of crushed limestones in the creek bed, with sod laid on the banks." "This will look like a drastic change from the present. creek bed, but silt deposits and plant growth will gradually make the stream appear more natural." The new creek bed will not have negative effects on Lake Valen-tine. Woods said it may actually help improve the lake situation by Belton lives by Susan Peterson Dodging oxcarts and elephants was an everyday occurrence for Don Belton, assistant professor of social work, during his eleven-month sabbatical in S.E. Asia. Two of these months were spent in Sri Lanka due to visa problems, and the remaining months in In-dia. Belton, now in his eighth year in Bethel's social work department, lived in the city of Trivandrum in the state of Kerala, India, along with his wife Judy and their two children. "We wanted our family to live in a non-western culture," said Belton. "It is by understanding others that we understand our-selves, besides, I like mucking around in peoples' lives." While in Trivandrum, Belton taught a graduate course in social work and also a began a crimin-ology program at Loyola College, a Jesuit school. The Beltons chose Trivandrum for its "typical" Indian setting. restricting the amount of silt de-posited in the lake. Bethel's creek takes in water flow from the area bounded by highway 96, Lexington Ave., Hamline Ave., and the railroad tracks that border Bethel's cam-pus. The water that flows out of Lake Valentine drains into Long Lake. Woods said, "The project has been in the planning stages for se- Although it is the state capital, it resembles a big village. Only 25 Europeans lived in the city. The Beltons could have opted for royal treatment, how-ever, they chose to live a "middle caste" lifestyle. "Caste is connected with every-thing— buying power, marriage, vocations, and political parties," Belton said. "Poor people are kept in their place." Most of In-dia's people are poor; 70 per cent of the population fall below the U.N. poverty line. The few rich people live on es-tates worked by servants. One per cent of the population controls 95 per cent of the country's wealth. "You are important by who you know; who your friends are," he said. In the state of Kerala 20 per cent of the people are Christians. Just as caste controls Indian so-ciety, a parallel caste system con-trols the Church. Syrian Christians (those who owe their allegiance to the Angli-can Bishop of Syria) are consi-dered "high caste." All others, no yen to eight years." The project involving Bethel's creek will cost approximately $215,000, most of which has been funded through a federal grant. The remaining costs will be paid from local funding. Construction on the lower half of the creek will be completed in about three weeks, weather per-mitting. Woods said that the up-per sections were a little more complicated and would probably take a little longer to complete. matter how long they have been Christians will be called "con-verts." The two groups never mix. Belton quickly added, "Our churches here are just as bigoted. How many Blacks, or how many poor people do we include in our churches?" The Indian people are very hos-pitable and extremely curious. "The hardest thing for Westerners to adjust to is the lack of privacy," Belton said. "Many homes have no doors so if people want to visit you, they'll walk right in. If you lock your door, they will quietly move to a win-dow and patiently wait for you to notice them." Some Indians fear talking with Americans; they understand English but are embarrassed to speak it with their heavy accents. Belton was most disturbed by the sight of many beggars. "Peo-ple flaunt their deformities to make money," he said.

On Sept. 18, during the regular meeting of the student senate, the senators defeated a motion that would have made available the minutes of the executive board meetings. The executive board consists of Presi-dent Steven Hoswell, Vice-president Susan Stone, Treasurer Scott Bar-suhn, Secretary Caryl Brown and the president pro tem. They meet weekly to discuss coming legislation to make general plans concerning the student government. Under the proposed legislation, the minutes of those meetings would be published for the senate members. According to one observer the senate seemed in favor of the proposal at the outset. After much discus-sion and a recommendation by new Dean of Men Charlie Retts, how-ever, the senate voted to allow the executive board this measure of privacy. We view this as a sad step away from open government. Two years ago an administrative decision to abolish Bethel's per course payment plan and to replace it with a flat-rate tuition aroused ex-tensive anger and bitterness on the part of students, the likes of which is not often seen at Bethel. The issue then, as it is now, was not that a method of payment was to be changed, rather that the plan was con-ceived, approved and implemented without the slightest input by the student body. The president of the student senate was informed of the plan early in the school year, but was asked to keep the matter confidential. The stu-dent body at large decried this form of "government," while the student senate lost any sort of credibility. Recent senate administrations seem to have taken strides toward a more democratic sort of government; at least no major surprises have recently been sprung on the students. The Sept. 18 action seems to be a step away from a participatory government. Though Bethel College is a business, and should be administered as such, the student senate exists to facilitate student input to administrative decisions. True, the leaders of a government need privacy to discuss delicate and sensitive issues. Bin these discussions should be held in private, not in official board meetings where policy decisions and recommendations are made. An important issue deserves input from the student body, especially its elected representatives, before it is too late for that input to have an effect. We are not trying to paint a picture of a wily, cunning and ruthless clan of politicians, wraggling high-level decisions behind closed doors in a smoke-filled room. Hoswell and Stone have done a good job in a seemingly open and public student senate. But Bethel needs a more open approach to its decision making, from the top administrators on down, including the student senate. Macalester initiates 'Feeding a Hungry World' lecture series Three internationally renowned authorities on the issue of world food production will participate in a lecture series, "Feeding A Hun-gry World," at Macalester Col-lege this fall. The series, which begins Oct. 2, will focus on the role of climate on world food production, ways of expanding food supply through the development of new crops, and the role of the United States in easing food shortages. The series of six lectures, spon-sored by the Macalester College Hubert H. Humphrey Endowed Professorship Fund, is free and open to the public. All of the lec-tures will be held in the Olin Hall of Science Auditorium on the campus, 1600 Grand Ave. The lecturers are Reid A. Bry-son, director of the Institute of Environmental Studies at the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Madison, Richard Evans Schultes, director of the Botanical Museum of Har-vard University, and Walter P. Falcon, director of the Food Re-search Institute at Stanford University. Bryson is one of a handful of US scientists researching climatic changes brought about by hu-mans. He has made frequent na-tional and international headlines for his predictions that the world can probably expect another ice age within the next few centuries. Schultes is a world renowned botanist who spent 12 years of near-isolation in the Amazon jungle searching for rare plants. The world's leading authority on medicinal and hallucinogenic plants, he has also served as a con-sultant to many underdeveloped nations to help increase their agri-cultural productivity and export potential. Falcon is an internationally known expert on the economics of agriculture, particularly in rela-tion to underdeveloped countries. He also is a member of the Pre-sidential Commission on World Hunger. He studied the economics of farming in the underdeveloped ara of Pakistan. He also has studied the effects of the so-called "Green Revolution"—the introduction of high yield plants—and the impact of land reform in Third World countries. The schedule for the lecture series is: Tuesday, October 2, 7:30 p.m. Desserts of the Future. Reid A. Bryson, Ph.D. Thursday, October 4, 7:30 p.m. Impact of Climatic Change on World Food Supply. Reid A. Bry-son, Ph.D. Tuesday, October 30, 7:30 p.m. New Flour for Your Daily Bread.

Proposition: If God once used a "chicken of the sea" like Jonah of Tarshish in his plans for Nineveh, then why couldn't he put to use Bethel's "good tasting tuna" in his plans for "Charlie?" Well, he did in the mind of "Charlie" Retts, who recently took the bait as Bethel's new dean of men. Charlie's decision may not correlate exactly with this fishy analogy, but his call to Be-thel seemed strangely similar. As a former student affairs associate at Azuza Pacific College in California, Charlie had little notion of the open position at Bethel, or even where Bethel was on the map. At a National Student Affairs convention he briefly met a guy named Wink Menser, and later heard of the opening for applica-tions, of which he sent many, at Bethel. In the following weeks, however, Charlie had possible positions at many other larger Universities out west, and forgot about Bethel for the time being. June came in sunny California and so did a phone call from Mack Nettleton, asking if Charlie would consider an interview soon. "I had to refuse," said Charlie. "I had some other jobs available and knew so little about Bethel." Six weeks later Bethel got a phone call, this time from Charlie, asking if the position was still open. Something, maybe a still small voice, convinced him to look into this Christian school in far-off Minnesota. "I was told that there were now a few candidates who were being interviewed, but that if I was still a possible chance for the job I'd get a call," said Charlie with a re-lieved look on his face. He could relax, knowing that if the Lord wanted him at Bethel he'd receive the call, otherwise "one of those guys would most likely get the job." Come the end of July, Charlie received another surprising call from Mack Nettleton asking if he could "fly out for an interview as soon as possible." After some prayer, and women's intuition from his wife Laura, Charlie left Los Angeles, in a step of faith, for an interview in the land of Ninev...Minnesota. After the trip out and the inter-view, Charlie was offered the position and accepted the role as dean of men at Bethel. He says that he made his decision partly based upon Bethel's good reputa-tion and from his experience while being on campus. "Most of the students I talked with were friendly," he explained. "they seemed more directive in their lives than many students I knew." Charlie's only regret was having to cope with the Siberian climate in Minnesota, and the reality of less good Mexican food. Despite that, he said, "I knew I could do the best job here, and so did my wife." As dean of men, that job would let him, handle many responsi-bilities which he enjoyed doing, instead of one specialized area. Among those responsibilities are some of the following: ISA ad-visor and student senate advisor, student counseling services, leader of orientation at Bethel—that's Welcome Week—and programs for academic improvement. Included in this list, to some people, is the notion that the main reason for a dean is so he can pun-ish those "lifestyle losers" of the devilish sort. Charlie hopes he can dispell this myth among students at Bethel. After all, how would it look if a new T.V. series entitled, "Charlie's Devils" appeared in the Student Affairs section of the campus? Also, Charlie assured me that he won't speak with students through an intercom either, but will meet them in person. by Patty Sutton "Who I am is in these," Scott Hafemann commented after answering several "trivial" ques-tions concerning his past life while picking up some pieces of course material. Teaching full-time for his first semester at Bethel, Hafemann is a member of the Biblical and Theological Studies Department. Over the past two years he has taught three courses here while studying at Bethel and Luther Se-minaries. Hafemann graduated from Be-thel College in 1976 with a concen-tration in New Testament Studies. He went on to Fuller Seminary where he earned an M.A. in his-torical theology, though some of his credits were transferred from Bethel and Luther Seminaries. Hafemann is a newlywed of six months. He and his wife, Debrah, are expecting a baby around Feb. 10. They are living at the Dan Taylor's on Lake Johanna. Tay-lor, assistant professor of lan-guage and literature, is now in England on a study tour. Next year the Hafemanns plan a move to Germany so that Scott Almost Anything Goes contes-tant grimaces as she absorbs the shock of a bursting water balloon. (Photo by Tom Twin-ing) can attend the University of Tubi-ngen to work on his Ph.D. That will take at least three years. When he finishes, Hafemann plans to return to the States and find a teaching position here. It doesn't matter to him where he finally lives because he moved so much as a child. "My dad was an executive with Goodyear so we moved around quite a bit," he said. He says he lived mostly in the Midwest and when asked to pinpoint a home-town he said he considers Minne-sota as "a kind of big hometown." He agrees with Christopher Derrick's book "Escape from Scepticism: Liberal Education as if Truth Mattered." He doesn't think "the transfer of notes from the teacher to the student's note-book" is a good way to run a class. In his "Introduction to Bible" syllabus Hafemann says, "The purpose of a liberal-arts education is ultimately not the transfer of knowledge from one group of people to another, but to teach the student how to pursue that know-ledge for himself." Teaching full-time keeps him busy. He says he doesn't have any "spare time" since he is usually preparing for class—something he enjoys. When he's not studying for classes, his favorite activity is reading. He likes to read inter-pretations of the New Testament, Old Testament, history, and Christian thinkers. Hafemann also enjoys any book that "attempts to explain reality" such as Kant, Aristotle and C.S. Lewis. He doesn't care to read about the "great thinkers" but would rather try to under-stand them himself. "I'd rather read Paul than a commentary on Ephesians," he said. Hafemann believes a liberal-arts education is meant to teach a person how to intelligently evaluate reality for himself. Other things he enjoys are his church involvement, being with friends, playing racquetball, and watching the Green Bay Packers.

Chapel speakers talk about needs in the world, and how the Christian is responsible to help the hungry and oppressed. But what can a Bethel student do about all this? In order to answer that question and put their answer into action, several faculty members and stu-dents formed the Christian Disci-pleship Coalition (CDC) last spr-ing. Don Postema, who says he "just provides the impetus" for CDC, said the coalition has two main goals. The first concern of CDC, he said, is to make the Bethel corn-munity aware of needs in the world. The second concern is ac-tion. Members of the CDC become aware of needs of organizations such as Bread for the World, Amnesty International, and World Vision. One way they can put their awareness into action is by writing letters to congressmen about food problems overseas, something that lobbying group Bread for the World is concerned about. They can also write letters to men in political leadership posi-tions around the world to discour-age them from torturing political prisoners. Besides becoming aware and writing letters, Postema said students can identify with the poor by leading a simpler lifestyle. of social work, spent last year on learn the things you learned when small, and now no one will teach you." A feeling of "panic" strikes when you don't remember how to correctly cross a street, or what to do first in a supermarket. Helping "reenculturate" mis-sionaries is an interest of Belton's. The entire experience "confirm-ed my conviction that there is something very evil in middle class values," he said. "Living simply, having a sense of community, and "Many students want to simplify the menus and make the best use of their resources, such as clothes." He said that CDC is not a group who attempts to have a "holier than thou" image, or be ve-getarians and wear rags. Rather, they are attempting to be "re-sponsible in light of God's Word and in community with others," Postema said. "We're not out to incriminate anyone," he said. "But we will point the finger of judgement at institutional practices." The CDC has suggested an alternative to the annual All-school Banquet. They feel that the money spent for food, etc., seemed "to be an ir-responsible use of resources." CDC is also concerned with the menu in food service, and making students aware of what they eat. "We want to sensitize people as how to best use their resources," Postema said. )4, Alli sabbatical in India. (Photo by sharing with others are far more important." "My relationship with God has always been a rational thing," he continued, "but there were many events in which there appeared to be a supernatural intervention— meeting the right people, finding a good church, getting our visas. I've never been as conscious of that kind of intervention." As far as Bethel is concerned, a cross-cultural flavor will be added in the social work department. So much of the social work here is based on "middle class values and a European heritage," said Belton. The basic Western theo-ries taught have to do with solving problems. "We want to be in con-trol of our lives," he said. On the other hand, Eastern theories em-phasize, "becoming, discovering our identity and helping a person become part of a network of rela-tionships." "We must learn that, when work-ing with different people, we must resolve problems in a way comfor-table to them, rather than to our-selves. However, in order to do this, we must first learn from them." This will ake a "little more lis-tening," and a lot more "muck-ing." by Suzi Wells Sharing Jesus Christ with In-dian alcoholics in Vancouver, British Columbia brought SMPer Dave Eckert both joy and frus-tration this summer. at "So many guys' lives are wrap-ped up in alcohol," he said. Many only wanted help with alcohol, not with the deeper problem, which is the sin in their lives," he explained. This summer, Dave, the current president of Bethel's Student Mis-sionary Project (SMP) and 34 other students went to all parts of the world. Each student had different responsibilities. Some sang on tour in the group "Proclamation," some taught English, and others worked in of-fices. Dave worked for North American Indian Mission. After seeing beautiful slides and listen-ing to stories former SMPers told of British Columbia, he was ex-cited to see that area. Instead of working in the wilderness or on Indian reserves, though, Dave worked in the city. "This summer they started an ur-ban ministry, and they asked for volunteers." Dave volunteered because he had just completed a paper on skid row alcoholics. He also spent the previous fall semester in San Francisco in Westmont's Urban Studies program. Working with alcoholics was often frustrating for Dave. But in spite of the frustrations, Dave realized the Lord could use him. "We were able to plant a seed," he said. "We saw that these guys' salvation was not dependent on us." Dave said he and his teammate realized how great God is. "We were united as a team in the Word and in prayer," he said. "I just scratched the surface in realizing the power in prayer." Julie Redenbaugh spent her summer working in Florida for Teen Missions. She condensed and sent out reports to over 50 teams, relating what each of the teams in all parts of the world, was doing. In spite of her handicap (Julie has cerebral palsy), Julie partici-pated in part of the Teen Missions rigorous two-week boot camp. Although most of the teens slept in tents, climbed 25 feet of dangling rope and swung across rivers on ropes like Tarzan, Julie limited her activities to climbing "The Wall." Team members help each other climb the wall. "Everything is team oriented," Julie explained. "There is a rule: no pairing off, because they couldn't maintain team unity." Julie slept on the floor in the back of her office during boot camp and ate in the "jungle" with the other teens. "We weren't allowed to have ice milk or hot water," Julie recalled. "The teams had to bathe in the river with their swim suits on." After boot camp, the teams departed but Julie stayed to work in Florida. Julie had her "special" typewriter sent Jo her to facilitate typing. (Julie has been typing since second grade). Like Dave, Julie had frustrating times. "I felt really alone when all the teams left," she said. "I learn-ed to appreciate home." "It was challenging for me," she added.

Teaching classes in the church he attended, Mark had 34 pupils. Eleven were children and 14 were not Christians. Less than one per-cent of the Japanese are Chris-tians. "There is a narrow road to heaven in Japan," Mark explain-ed, "not a six-lane highway like in America. The Japanese have quality Christianity, not quantity." Some reasons more • Japanese are not Christians is because Bud-dhism, Shintoism and secularism are so prevelant there. "Christianity breaks up the homogeneity," Mark said. The Japanese are a very unified group. Mark spent a lot of time with his students outside the classroom. They visited many cul-tural attractions, such as the Tea Gardens in Kyoto, and the largest wooden temple in the world in Nara. • Two of Mark's students ac-cepted Christ, a small miracle in such a country. Mark also had the opportunity to share with a Bud-dhist monk, who even visited Mark's church. Mark said he would like to return to Japan. "The need is so great," he stressed. The high cost of living keeps many missionaries away.

All college students share this one ugly memory: the summer job. Granted, there have always been those few disgusting individuals who breeze back to school each fall brimming with tales of whirlwind sum-mer months spent in Tokyo or Bermuda, but they're exceptions. (Ignore them. Better yet, well up saintly tears of reminiscence and murmur selflessly, "I worked with Hennepin derelicts all summer—for the Lord.")) Take my word for it, 99.5% of all Bethelites (statistics not for release) stagger back to Arden Hills, emotionally unbalanced masses of over-worked flesh who shriek at the words, "cash register," "double cheese-burger, medium fries," and "camp counselor." After three months of "vacation," even two-hour "quizzes" and soggy sloppy joes (@ $.65 ea.) spell utopia. Trouble starts every summer when employers realize that college students are only available three months. ("Ohhh," say interviewers leaning over my shoulder as I write "summer work" on applications. "Just till August, huh? You've got the wrong form." The second asks questions more probing: 1) Are you willing to work over 18 hours per day? 2) Is a lunch break really necessary? 3) When would you be available to do the manager's housecleaning? But just how low can a financially insecure collegiate sink? To what depths will she descend? What catastrophic circumstances could induce an ordinary Bethel student with a standardized major, 3. + GPA, and "nice" family embrace that infamous poor-person's summer occupa-tion, telephone sales? This summer's vocational goals had been modest. I dreamed of don-ning trim camp ranger uniform and commuting to Redwood Forest, there to rove campsites in my shiny jeep, answering adoring tourists' questions. I also thought lovingly of an assignment setting a struggling publishing firm on its feet, of exposing captive young minds to the freedoms of Montessori... An irritable employment agency representative informed me that no, there were not any openings for batch tasters at a fudge factory, nor was there currently a demand for apprentice highwire performers. He curtly referred me to the local temporary services agency. It was midsummer now, and after another lunch of dill pickles and bread crust, I was easy to persuade. Dejectedly, I promised the tem-porary office I'd accept any job they dug up—anything of course, short of telephone sales. My first day in telephone sales dawned drab and humid. I pulled ner-vously into the parking lot of a decrepit brick building. Lightning rent the darkened sky in terrible, ominous flashes. A hunched creature with greying temples, nervously clutching hands, and a black cape waited for me at the door. His college ring looked new. "You're the replacement?" He chortled in insane glee as he led me down a winding, cob-webbed hallway. "Your phone." He pointed to a dilapidated, nail-scratched machine, and abruptly leaped upon the desk. "Phone numbers! Phone numbers! Phone numbers!" he intoned, flinging a Portland phone book into my suddenly trembling arms. He stumped toward the door. I was alone—alone with the telephone. My first call began well, thanks to a tasteful, hand-scrawled script I speedily composed ("HellothisisShellyNielsenrepresenting—"). Unex-pectedly, my inquisitive client interrupted the neatly-planned monologue. "Who?" I searched my text frantically for reference to spontaneous queries.. Startled, as I was by this digression from my outline, I made rapid im-promptu response with the finesse of an experienced telephoner. "I'm sorry. I'm not qualified to answer that question, but if you'll give me your full name, weight, and savings account number, I'll have a sales rep contact you." There was a short silence followed by a prolonged buzzing noise. My second would-be customer allowed me time enough to vocalize my speech, but even after the oozingly sincere, "Oh, that's all right. Thank you so much anyway," refused to buy. Neither did he gush over my pleasant phone voice. I hung up on him, insulted and disillusioned. Outcomes of these calls had to be recorded on information cards, and I meticulously printed names and addresses in my own style of "News Gothic" lettering. Not only was the phoning interrupting my creative calligraphy process, it was damaging my emotional equilibrium. This reasoning justified my abandoning the calls altogether to instead pro-duce heaping mounds of artistic info forms. I was enthusiastically starting my third page of "P"s when my lunatic trainer appeared at the door, brandishing a machete. His suggestion was that I return to my dialing. Issuing curses upon summer employment in general, I spliced together the pieces of telephone cord I had just cut. Having mastered the superhuman technique of racing through an en-tire sales pitch without a breath, I practiced the more subtle complexities of telephonal persuasion. I developed three distinct voices: The Marilyn Monroe—breathy, ir-resistable, the Camille—shy and prone to tragic, sudden, and fatal at-tacks of ill health, and (my last resort) the refuse-me-and-I-cry tone. None of my innovative defense mechanisms seemed to work any ef-fect upon the sympathies of my listeners, however. Even after I had sifted my forms into logical order ("nicest" names on top), I continued to suffer insults from individuals who resented my purely businesslike interest in their personal lives. Repeatedly, I endured the humiliation of stuttering, the trauma of my forgetting the company's name, the devastation of flat rejection. None of this preliminary agony, though, could guarantee my emo-tional survival of a fateful call to "H.G." During our 30-second conver-sation, he voiced some sincere sentiments of his own heartfelt "Thank you so very much anyway" failed to move him. I spent the remainder of the summer shuffling info cards and dialing wrong numbers. Perhaps learning patience and longsuffering makes three months of pain worthwhile. Perhaps I'm a better person having sojourned in this valley of the shadow of death. Perhaps in eight months, I'll again be sta-ble enough to face another summer job. But until a shocking portion of fellow students and I can be convinced that pain is blessed...thank goodness for vacation at Bethel. Bethel grad Suzie Lane serves as Social Ministries Coordinator. (Photo by Dan Velie) Social Ministries position created for area outreach by Lori Rydstrom "I want Bethel students to real-ize that they have a very important ministry in the secular world." That is how Suzie Lane describes her personal goal as the new So-cial Ministries Coordinator for Bethel. Suzie, a 1978 Bethel graduate, works with agencies in the Twin Cities area that need volunteer workers, gets them in touch with interested students, and then follows up to see how it's working out for both the agency and the student. Her job started as a social work internship, so she was responsible for creating many aspects of the program. As the number of stu-dents involved in volunteer min-istries grew from 15 in 1976 to 153 in 1979, the need for a full-time program coordinator arose. The position is funded by a grant from the Minneapolis Foundation. The opportunities that social ministries offer are directed to-wards the interest of the students.

Kicking off a new semester this year in the col-lege gallery and running through the rest of this weekend is another excellent showing by our own art department faculty members. A walk though the gallery af-fords the viewer glimpses into the personalities and people that make up the department. These works tell us who these people are, where they are now in their artistic endeavors and even say something about their teaching. The artists used a variety of ma-terials, and a wide range of final pieces are in the display. Some of the pieces are new endeavors for the artists. Such growth makes this show exciting. So make it a. point to go into the art gallery. Meet our faculty mem-bers through the pieces that are on display. EXHIBITION SEPTEMBER 7-28, 1979 FACULTY BETHEL COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINE ARTS Fine Arts Gallery 3900 Bethel Dr. Arden Hills, MN. 55112 Twin Cities Theater Local drama productions entice cultural connoisseurs by Scott Barsuhn To those of the Bethel com-munity who may be new to the Twin Cities area, and to those who have just returned after sev-eral months away—good news. Excellent theatre going oppor-tunities await you. Recently opened at the Chimera Theatre in Saint Paul is that tested and true old-time musical, "Guys and Dolls." With songs that you may remember your mother sing-ing around the house, this love story with a tune truly entertains. The story takes place- in gang-ster- era Chicago and involves a somewhat detailed and humorous look at the lives of a few singing bad guys. Nathan Detroit, played by David Ira Goldstein does a com-mendable job as he avoids the marriage issue and chor.us girl, Miss Adelaide (Cynthia Horton), and tries to • set up an illegal gambling operation. Comedy begins when his "wife-to-be-someday" informs him that to en-courage her mother she has told her that they have been married for several years and have several children. Meanwhile our second leading man, Sky Masterson, played by Bob Wills also avoids, and then falls in love with a woman of re-ligious convictions, played by Joan Elizabeth Phalen. An inter-esting series of events ensues as this gangster and lady of dignity get together. All works out in the end however, and as in most all musicals, the hero gets his woman and if a bad guy—as in this case—turns over a new leaf and goes straight. The production is highlighted by a fine supporting cast and a va-riety of well done song and dance numbers. Although dated, and often times moving at a somewhat slow pace, this show is still a fun evening for all guys and dolls, and will run through October 2. On a strikingly different note, for those who appreciate variety, "The Time of Your Life" at the Theatre in the Round in Minnea-polis features serious drama and interesting character study. The action takes place in the late thirties and centers around the events in a San Francisco honky-tonk (or for the braver, saloon). The audience is introduced to many interesting characters dur-ing the one full day at this quality establishment. Outstanding performances are given by Hobe Harden, Stephen Roeser, Randy Lindstrom, John Smith and Bob Lockman, a Bethel graduate. Comment is made about the games that all of us play, our roles in those games, and perhaps with some thought, even why we play them. Although the action at times seems unevenly paced, the charac-ters are well defined and well por-trayed. This evening is well spent and will provide for much thought and reflective conversation at any interesting Cedar-Riverside restaurant within walking dis-tance. It's a show to see, and will run through October 20. Mention must also be made that this is the final weekend of "Side by Side by Sondheim" at the Bloomington Civic Theatre. This musical review is very entertaining with Bethel Graduate Carole Anderson stealing the show with her part in such memorable songs as "Broadway Baby" and "You Gotta Get A Gimmick." Tickets may still be available, and in-cluding this show in your weekend guarantees an interesting evening.

Page 7 Coffeehouses offer stage, by Mari Broman More than Christian entertainment, coffeehouses allow Christian musicians with little fun-ding to share their talents, said Timm Rolek of New Horizon cof-feehouse. Formerly of the group "Trilogy," Rolek and Al Nygard, now a Bethel student, began the Brooklyn Center ministry in April, 1979. New Horizon, like the other Twin City coffeehouses, books a variety of the 200-plus musical groups available in *he area—from blue-grass, ballads and blues, to country and contem-porary. The monthly open-stage nights introduce new talent, and although most of the groups are amateur, Rolek said they have had no "out-to-lunch" musicians. Located in the renovated base-ment of Cross of Glory Lutheran Church, New Horizon started as a community outreach financed pri-marily by the church. The snack bar helps pay some expenses. Rolek's ministry attempts to preach Christ through music and the lives of the staff, rather than "to push anything on anybody," Rolek said. "Subtlety is a much more effective means than hitting someone over the head with a brick," he added. The staff of the other area cof-feehouses share this opinion. Lo-gos, the oldest coffeehouse in the Twin Cities, has a Bible study and movies at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, but the message on Friday and Sa-turday comes in the music, with a short devotional during a break. Logos also provides a counseling program. The suburban location of Gene-sis House calls for a different counseling ministry. "We want to be progressive," said Director Steve McDill, "and allow people to make a contribution to their friends." The days are passing quickly, and we have already reached the end of September. To end the month with a bang, special activi-ies have been planned for Friday night and Saturday! On Friday, the 28th, everyone is invited to the "Movies and Munchies!" Besides eating all the pizza possible, the movies, "The Rescuers" and "The Twelve Chairs," will be shown for your entertainment. You'll be laughing all night. Meet us in the gym at 8:00 p.m. and bring $1.00. Saturday will prove to be really fun when you join your friends in spending a day at Valley Fair. The Genesis also has an optional Bi-ble study in the middle of the Sa-turday evening music downstairs in Crystal Free Church. During this time they play taped music upstairs for those who choose not to participate. "But, approx-imately 50 of the 100-150 people go to the Bible study," said McDill. The Upper Room serves in ano-ther way. Because it is located on the 3rd floor of the Soul's Harbor church, 75% of the people that come are Christians. "People should feel comfortable bringing their non-Christian friends, though," said staff member Tim Ralph. The Upper Room offers food, music, and Christian drama each Friday.

As many as 200 people go through the doors three Fridays a month to hear the music. Once a month the coffeehouse closes while Clyde Digit and Fa-mily, a professional drama group, stages a play. In October they will present "The Velvetine Rabbit." Other coming productions include original works "The Princess and the Players," and "The Juggler of Notre Dame," in November and December. Redeemer Lutheran Church in Fridley, formerly the location of the Rising Son coffeehouse, now holds a Praise Fest every Saturday night, with a special concert once a month.

The bonfire will be held at "picnic hill" over by the Seminary. Of course, the icing on the cake by Greg Kuntz Among the new faces at Bethel this year is George Henry, taking on the role of athletic director and skipper of the physical education-al department. An articulate and outspoken man, Henry enjoys working and getting things done for people. Henry came to Bethel this sum-mer from Keene State College in New Hampshire, where he super-vised student teachers in physical education. He had previously coached football at Owen Valley High School in Indiana, and was a guidance counselor and director of a Young Life Club while com-pleting his doctorate at Indiana University. He is an alumnus of Tarkio College in Missouri. He also coached football, basketball and track while teaching history and P.E. at Tarkio High. School. Henry said that he is excited to is the Keith Green Concert to be held on Saturday night. No tickets will be sold, because there will be a love offering taken, and the con-cert begins at 8:00 p.m. at the Minneapolis Auditorium. Buses be a part of Bethel. "I like the people here. They are dedicated and hard working," he said. He feels much needs to be done about Bethel athletics. "I will be working to meet a lot of people to identify with. There are many who ant to do something for Bethel and I want them to know how they can help the P.E. depart-ment. I want to continue re-cruiting athletes who will posi-tively reflect Bethel," said Henry. "I'll be meeting people from other departments to understand their needs too," he said. "We want to make fair and responsible decisions concerning the athletic program here," he added. "but a lot of time is needed." Henry feels that Bethel has a sense of purpose and that he has a sense of purpose being here. "I accept the challenge of leadership here. Ultimately, we leave things to the Lord and His leading," he said. those of you who need transpor-tation. Keith Green is an excellent performer with a genuine love for God! You won't want to miss this concert. What a great week. Get involved and enjoy every minute Notice: Tryouts for cheerleaders for basketball, hockey and wrestling will be held on Tuesday evening, Oct.2 in the wrestling room. A clinic to learn cheers and what is needed for tryouts will be held tonight from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. also in the wrestling room. Guys with gymnastic experience or willingness to try are en-courages to come too! October festivities include football, coronation Jon Fredrickson's two goals paced Bethel past Hamline.

Macalester had performed respectably the week before (re-spectable is a relative term in this context), while Bethel was a victim of big plays as they bowed to St. Thomas 42-14. Perhaps, as the ru-mor suggested, Macalester was finally in a position to prevent their renown from becoming more dubious. Bethel's football team played as though they had been insulted that Macalester, the press, or any-body had the audacity to entertain a notion that Bethel would be the opponent that inaugurated a new losing streak for Macalester by ending the old one. Led by Ken Cooper, Jim An-derstrom and an aggressive de-by Ellie Abbott After being defeated by Augs-burg on Wednesday, 2-0, the Be-thel soccer team came back and upended Hamline University 3-1 on Saturday. On Wednesday Sept. 19, Bethel traveled to Ft. Snelling Field and lost to Augsburg 2-0. "We con-trolled the ball from start to fin-ish," said Coach Mark Leigh, "but just couldn't put it in the net." Bethel had several good shots including an open break by Marc Maillefer, and other fine shots by Mark Johnson, Joel Kraakevik, and senior Doug Hage. After Augsburg scored their se-cond goal, the Royals played su-perb defense and Augsburg didn't even take the ball past the half line. Coach Leigh was pleased with the team effort against Augsburg and said, "We have only played together for two weeks and it takes some time to get it together." fense that intercepted four passes, the Royals crushed the Scots 31-6. There would be no renaissance this week at Bethel's expense. The Royals asserted themselves immediately, with Anderstrom or-chestrating a touchdown drive on Bethel's intitial possession. The drive, highlighted by a long pass from Anderstrom to Cooper, was culminated on a 13-yard smash by Dave Kadlec. Paul Lindberg kick-ed the extra point and Bethel led, 7-0. On Bethel's second possession they again marched mechanically toward a second touchdown. Again the big play was a long pass, this time a halfback option from Tom Klitzke to Cooper. The touchdown was scored on a two-yard run by Klitzke, and after Lindberg's conversion, the Royal's led 14-0. Early in the second quarter, In Saturday's game against Hamline, Jon "Freddy" Fredrick-son turned in a strong perfor-mance for the Royals to beat Hamline 3-1. All four goals were scored in the second half of the game. The first goal, scored by Fredrickson, was an indirect free kick which Bethel had learned and practiced this past week. Soon after Bethel scored, Ham-line tied it up 1-1 from a rebound on a shot the goalie, Jeff Beck-man, made a nice save on. The Royals came back soon af-ter with a penalty kick made by Jon Fast to lead Hamline 2-1. Bethel still had energy though, and with approximately one min-ute left in the game Fredrickson scored again on a throw-in from the sideline which hit off the goal-ie's hand and into the net. Bethel's strong team effort on Saturday paid off. Their record is now 2-1 and coach Leigh is "look-ing forward to the rest of the sea-son." Bethel meets St. Thomas this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. Bethel scored their third touch-down, this time on a 38-yard touchdown toss from Anderstrom to Paul (Oral) Roberts. Roberts broke a tackle and outran the defense en route to the score. Lindberg added the point and Bethel led 21-0. Meanwhile, Bethel's defense was playing excellent football. The defense set up Bethel's fourth score on an alert defensive play by Jeff Bergeson, who intercepted a pass and ran it back inside the Ma-calester twenty. Four plays later Lindberg entered the game and drilled a 35-yard field goal to make it 24-0. The score remained 24-0 until the fourth quarter when Macal-ester scored their only points of the day on a 35 7_yard run by Den-nis Czech. Bethel answered that score a few minutes later when Frank Sanza caught a 13-yard touchdown strike from Ander-strom, completing a drive that featured a well-executed inside re-verse to Peter Kramka. Lindberg _ kicked the point, making it 31-6. For Bethel, Ken Cooper was brilliant. The smooth junior from Rolling Meadows, Illinois, caught 8 passes for 149 yards. Several of his receptions were ^ in traffic where he had to come back to the ball. Anderstrom again played well in engineering all four touch-down drives and throwing two touchdown passes. The defensive performance included intercep-tions by Randy Fredin, Dan Stockfish, Mike Hoffner, and Jeff Bergeson. Bethel's next game is tomorrow afternoon at Collegeville against St. John's. by Laura Woodruff For the first time, the turnout for women's volleyball necessita-ted a roster trimming. Coach Karyl Frye had to cut eleven women from the 35 that tried out for volleyball this fall. The team is young, with four freshmen on varsity and seven on J.V. Sheryl Meyer and Janet Peterson are the co-captains. Gracia Dalgren, JoAnn Griffin, Kris Lindstrom, Cheryl Madson, Tami Miller, Denise Nygren, Merry Olmstead, Lori Olsen, Sonya Olsen, Deb ,.Omath, Janet Peterson and Joy Sorensen make up the varsity squad. Coach Frye has noticed that they need more experience together since the team is so young. They placed sixth in the Bemidji Invitational on Friday and Satur-day Sept. 21 and 22, by winning two matches and losing three. Bethel defeated St. Thomas 15-8, 18-16, 15-9 and North Dakota State U. by Shari Goddard The Bethel women's cross-country team finished ninth out of twelve teams in its first scored meet of the season, the Lake Nokomis Royal Invitational, last Friday. Ellie Abbott placed first for Bethel and 34th out of 115 run-ners. "So far I really like it (cross-country), I think we'll be a close team. Denise Egge was the star last year. This year the top five are closer together," she said. Sophomore Wendy Norberg and junior Brenda Harris, cap-tain, placed 42nd and 50th respec-tively. Coach Frye commented, "We played some good matches." She was pleased about the weekend because the team played well even though it was their first of the sea-son. Bethel's serving percentage was over 90 which gave them the high-est of any team at the invitational. This shows improvement because their serving has been weak in the past. Cheryl Madson's and Kris Lindstrom's good back row play and Lori Olsen's excellent front row play were noticeable. On Wednesday, Oct. 3, Bethel will play St. Mary's at 5:30, and Winona at 7:30, here. On Oct. 4 they play at St. Theresa at 6:30. Coach Frye hopes students will take in all of the homecoming events and see the Concordia-St. Paul game on the morning of Oct. 6, here at 9:30, "We hope people will come watch good volleyball; we have a good team this year," she said. Illness kept Bethel's fourth, fifth, and sixth ranked runners out of this meet. "Despite that we did well. Runners who had never run before did well," said Abbott. The meet had a mixture of Be-thel's division and upper division teams. "We ran against some strong teams," said Coach Shirley Dawson. "It was a high class meet." "I think in our division we'll probably be third or fourth," she added. "It'll be really competitive for the second, third and fourth places. Number one spot is pretty much sewn up by St. Olaf."
