"We hope that Bethel's social
work department will be accredit-ed
by the spring of 1980," said
Professor John Bower, chairman
of the social work department.
Bower taught at Tabor College
in Hillsboro, Kansas, before com-ing
to Bethel this year. He helped
initiate the program at Tabor in
1968, and later helped it become
accredited in 1974.
Bower said that Bethel made
two attempts in 1975 and 1977 to
get the social work program ac-credited
by the Council of Social
Work Education (CSWE), but the
request was rejected both times.
Bower said Bethel's requests
were turned down because of un-satisfactory
organization of the
curriculum, inadequate faculty re-sources,
and because the field pro-gram
had some problems.

Student enrollment during in-terim
shows a significant increase
over last year's attendance.
"Due to the fact that fall enroll-ment
is about the same as last
year, we surmise that the flat fee is
a factor in the increased interim
listing," stated Tricia Brownlee,
director of academic programs.
This is the first year that interim
cost is included for any full-time
student enrolled in the fall, spring,
or both terms.
The registrar reports 1664 as the
figure for actual enrollment,
taken after the first week of
classes. Last year the number was
1395.
Brownlee feels that 1664 may be
a little high, because some
students not in attendance haven't
bothered to officially cancel, as
they receive no refund.
Courses of greater appeal to
student interest may be another
factor in the interim boom,
speculated Brownlee. Eight classes
were canceled last year due to in-sufficient
numbers compared to
only one cancellation this year.
Nine new teachers here for
January also add extra spice to the
schedule. Interim usually brings
only one or two new instructors.
The new teachers were needed to
replace twelve faculty members
"One reason I was hired was to
help the program reach a standard
where it could be accredited,"
Bower said. To do so, the depart-ment
must first submit a detailed
self-study to the commission on
accreditation, which will review
the program to see if it is worthy
for a site visit.
"After visiting the college,"
Bower said, "the commission will
consider the self-study and the site
visit to determine whether the pro-gram
will be accredited."
Bower was the chairman of the
site visit team that visited Bethel in
1977.
"We plan to submit our self-study
in late spring or early sum-mer
of this year, and hopefully the
commission will give Bethel a site
visit in the fall of 1979 or the spr-ing
of 1980," he said.
"We're confident that the pro-gram
will be accredited next
now working on faculty develop-ment
projects.
The college relations office also
aided in the increased attendance
by working harder recruiting new
students for this interim and en-couraging
spring term students to
come early.
As they previously recruited on-ly
for fall term, Jim Bragg, direc-tor
of college relations, expressed
that new systems now enable addi-tional
contacting for interim and
second term.
"In contacting new students,
we usually deal with as many as
8,000 names," said Bragg.
There are also more new
freshman and transfers here this
interim than before, noted the
registrar. "A confusion in the
state grant program and a delay in
financial aid for students caused
many to wait until interim to
begin classes," said Bragg.
Numerous Bethelites ventured
to such places as Hawaii and
various countries of Europe
through the Upper Midwest
Association for Intercultural
Education (UMAIE).
Others are attending Westmont
and Buena Vista in California,
Pacific Lutheran in Seattle, Cal-vin
College in Michigan, Macala-ster,
St. Thomas, St. Catherine,
and Augustana.

year," Bower said, "and hopeful-ly
the accreditation will be
retroactive to this year.
This would benefit those seniors
graduating this spring, as it would
enable them to graduate under an
accredited program."
Although some employment
opportunities are not dependent
upon accredited programs,
many,such as health-care related
fields,require a degree from an ac-credited
program.
"Accredited programs help
students receive advance standing
in graduate schools," he said.
"Students graduating under ac-credited
programs can also
become regular members of the
National Association of Social
Workers."
The social work department
presently has six part-time and
three full-time faculty members.
Social work courses have been of-fered
at Bethel since the early
1960's, but the first serious at-tempt
to develop a program was in
the fall of 1972, when the first
full-time faculty member for the
social work department was hired.
In 1975 the social work depart-ment
was formed, giving the pro-gram
more of an identity.

"He's the first father from the
Penthouse and we're proud of
him," declared Dana "Big D"
Olson, referring to senior Mark
Owens, a member of the legen-dary
Penthouse which started in
1975.
Mark's son Caleb, the Pent-house's
first "nephew," was born
Oct. 27. At birth he weighted 8 lbs
8 oz; now Caleb weighs in at 13
lbs.
Mark helped deliver the baby at
the Hennepin Medical County
Hospital, using natural childbirth
methods.
Because they only had a mid-wife
to help them, (a doctor was
just next door in case of an
emergency) their hospital costs
were reduced to almost half the
normal cost, Mark said.
Mark (pronounced "mock" in
Massachusetts) and his wife Deb-bie
are from Massachusetts. They
met at their high school.
"Cupid struck them in archery
class," remarked Todd Johnson,
Mark's former room-mate. Todd
claims that he is the only roomie
Mark has had besides Debbie.
On their second date Debbie
started witnessing to Mark who
was a Catholic. "That really blew
my mind," said Mark. "I always
thought that I was going to heaven
because I was a good guy.
"My mother told me that we
were Christians because everyone
in our family had always been a
Christian," Mark added. So Mark
and his three brothers and five
sisters grew up thinking that all
decent people were Christians.
Mark said that their church at-tendance
was perfunctory.
Debbie and Mark were engaged
when they came to Bethel in the
fall of 1975. Debbie left before the
end of her first semester while
Mark stayed on.
They were married the follow-ing
January. "That was my in-terim,"
Mark said with a smile.
Mark said he does not mind be-ing
married though he feels
isolated sometimes. "Girls are the
worst," he laughed. "When they
find out that I am married, the
stay away."
Mark also misses (in a nostalgic
way) the close friendship he had
with the Penthouse guys when he
was living at the dorm.
His Penthouse buddies also
spoke very highly of him. "We
feel real close to Mark, we look on
him as a brother and we are proud
of him," said Big D.
`He was the stabilizing force
when we guys got too wild. Mark
was more serious about life and
school than the average
freshman," Big D added.
Overall, Mark said he does not
feel like he is missing out on
anything and is perfectly happy
about being married. Besides, he
said, he does not have time for
social life.
Last May, Mark and his friends
from church formed a seven-person
contracting company call-ed
Zion Springs. Some of them
have gone to Bethel and they all
go to the Jesus People Church.
Mark took carpentry classes in
high school and this job gives him
the opportunity to work with kids
who have skills similar to his.
Mark said their business remodel-ing
houses is doing well.
Recently, they remodelled a
bridal store and they are now
working on the State Theatre, the
biggest project they have had so
far, Mark said.
After school started this fall
Mark has been working only part-time.
He said he studies in bet-ween
classes to keep up with his

Opinion
Influence of Christians
for Christ or self
It's amazing what Christians will do with their money, and what
they'll do with others' money.
In December the Twin Cities Christian newspaper reported the pro-posal
of a $3.5 million biblical theme park in the St. Cloud, Minnesota,
area.
Such a move might be rationalized by saying that the profits from
such an enterprise will go to missions or to world hunger relief. But the
proposed park is to be a non-profit endeavor.
What will this accomplishment tell the world about Christians?
Last summer the American Bible Society sent out a letter asking for
funds.
The letter stated that two million people in India had been left
homeless after a massive cyclone and tidal wave had killed 50,000 and
swept clean an area of Andhra Pradesh.
The organization wanted to send 60,000 Bibles to these homeless,
hungry Indians for the "spiritual comfort and strength they can pro-vide.
That's right, no food or relief mentioned, only Bibles. But the follow-ing
paragraph was more ludicrous.
"That is not all," it read, "for in India only one third of the people
can read—and of these, the average skill is at a fifth grade level."
They want to send scriptures to the poor, hungry, homeless, illiterate
Indians. What will this tell the world about Christians?
By now most evangelicals (and many non-evangelicals) are familiar
with Robert Schuller's $15 million glass church.
These and numerous other embarrassing accounts tell us something
of the values American Christians have developed.
We don't need to keep hearing it. We know all about the worldliness
of many Christians.
It is easy for us as financially humble students to sit back and criticize
other parts of the Church. But how does this problem apply to us?
Ted Lympic reminded us in chapel last week that God, the giver can
be pushed aside in our lives by any of his gifts.
It might be more "profitable" for us to take inventory of our lives
and look at what we concern ourselves with at Bethel.
The President's annual report bears a statement of the mission of the
college, saying that Bethel is "dedicated to the preparation of compe-tent
and committed Christians who will bear a strategic influence for
Christ within all the structures of society."
Every Christian who is in the world will indeed have an influence
upon the world. Whether that influence is for Christ or not is up to each
of us.
I the Soapbox
OC means bruised knees, nostalgia
Dear editor:
Crawling out of bed, my knee
crashes against the bunk less than
a foot above me. Reaching for my
soap and towel I try to decide bet-ween
the tall shower that drizzles
or the too-short one.
I guess it will be the tall one this
morning, even though it is usually
cold, unless someone turns on the
other shower; then it scalds me!
It is funny but in spite of all,
this, I am going to miss Old Cam-pus
very much. There is a warm
sense of nostalgia roaming in the
halls and on the sidewalks.
I see excited women students
with bobby socks and saddle
shoes, or their mothers before
them. They are studying, staying
up late, talking about boys, or
wondering if Eisenhower will be
elected.
Later one of them marries the
young man on second floor of
Edgren. Another gets a job she
prepared for here.
I see initials in trees, stains on
the floors, and designs painted on
the walls. I believe the room my
father had still bears the "battle
scars."
It was here, on Old Campus,
that Bethel grew and developed in-to
what it is today. Yes, it will be
nice to move into brand new
dorms, and yet we are leaving
behind the buildings whose very
halls echo the history of Bethel
and her students.

Dr. Arthur Lynip is spending
interim at Bethel as Distinguished
Visiting Professor.
This is the beginning of an an-nual
program to bring outstand-ing
teachers in specialized fields to
Bethel for the further stimulation
of students and enrichment of the
faculty, according to Dr. George
Brushaber, academic dean.
Lynip formerly was professor
and dean at Houghton College in
New York and at Westmont Col-lege
in California where he receiv-ed
teacher-of-the-year recogni-tiori.
He also has held visiting ap-pointments
at Shaw University in
North Carolina and with Wycliffe
linguists in the Philippines. His
doctorate is from New York
University.
During Bethel's January in-terim,
Dr. Lynip is team-teaching
a course with Professor Dan
Taylor on Russian literature.
A master of pun, Lynip delight-ed
the faculty at his introduction
by saying he came from "a
solarium to a cryogenitorium" in
experiencing Minnesota's cold.
"I'm literally in a constant quiver
and numb with excitement over
my reception thus far."

I wonder whether the I'm-gonna-
get-so-much-done-over-vacation
syndrome is a universal
one. I myself capered with con-fident
hopes down the Western
airlines' stairs this last December.
My enthusiasm was only a trifle
squelched by the greeting I receiv-ed
from my skeptical mother.
"When does the novel get writ-ten?"
she questioned sarcasti-cally.
The week before I'd written
her an optimistic nine-page epistle
outlining in detail the tasks I in-tended
to accomplish during my
two-week respite. "Before or after
the remodeling of the house?"
"Right after I give the dog a
poodle clip, flock the tree, send
Christmas cards to Bethel ac-quaintances,
and insulate the at-tic."
"I do hope you'll be able to
squeeze in your plans to revarnish
the piano. It clashes dreadfully
with the paneling."
I was hurt by her lack of faith,
but I managed to refrain from
mentioning my shock at her
treachery. She'd be repentant
later, when she unwrapped the
king-size bicentennial afghan I
planned to crochet for her before
Dec. 24.

I took time to re-read every

"I think interims should be
fun," says Dave Foley, renowned
education scholar and curriculum
critic. (Bethel has been fortunate
to have Foley on campus for the
past three and half years.)
However, many responses to in-terim
classes by students, seem to
indicate that the situation is not
fun.
"I hate it."
"It's boring."
"It's too much work."
What is the purpose of interim
anyway? This year's interim
catolog states: "They (interim
classes) are designed to expand the
student's academic program in
settings both on and off campus."
"I'm learning a lot," says one
girl in Studies in New Testament.

Students may take courses at
Bethel Seminary and, for special
situations, receive credit for the
courses at the college.
Dr. Paul Finlay, registrar at the
college, said, "It is not a wide-spread
practice for college
students to take courses at the
seminary, but we usually have one
or two students per year."

driving down to the library to
gather research material for an
early interim project.
Suddenly, looking over my
shrivelled, waterlogged kneecaps,
I remembered an ancient pile of
newspapers I•d started collecting
years before.
I could hardly dry and dress fast
enough to go fetch them from a
basement box.
"Wow! Old Clarions! Look,
they go all the way back to 1976!"
I read through each, page by page.
Upon the completion of this
project, I deposited myself hog-gishly

In the spring of 1976 he began
to work on his dissertation.
Gowdy's dissertation title is "The
Decline of Religious Character-istics

Excellence: a Study of Minnesota

"I wanted to reseach on a topic
that was important to me and
valuable to other people—not just
sociologists. One of the very satis-fying
things that has happened is
that I have been able to share my
findings with the faculty and
students," said Gowdy.
"My research indicates that it is
possible for colleges to be both
academically excellent and
significantly committed religious-ly,
but it is not very likely.
"All Minnesota schools except
relatively new schools (like Bethel
and Concordia) have shown
significant decreases in religious

One morning, last December,
Craig and Linda Schmidt woke up
to discover that their house had
been TPed. This was the chemi-stry
students' way of extending
their congratulations to Dr.
Schmidt who just received his
Ph.D.
They also presented him with a
cake, with "Congrats" inscribed
in jellybeans. Originally, it was to
have read "Quantgratulations Dr.
Schmidt, we lab you." But Jane
Kochka determined this would be
too difficult (even for a chem ma-jor)
and thus it was shortened.
Dr. Schmidt finished three
years of grad school at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota before coming
to teach at Bethel in the fall of
1977.
Normally, he would have con-tinued
at the U of M for a fourth
year, but he had always wanted to
teach in a small Christian college.
"When I saw the job descrip-tion,
it read like it was written for
me," he said.
Dr. Schmidt taught part-time
the first semester, then went into
full-time teaching second
semester. Meanwhile, he contin-ued
working towards his doctrate, •
doing research on a derivative of
vitamin B-12.
He wrote his dissertation last
summer and took his final orals
Oct. 5.
His speciality is in analytical
chemistry, and within that field,
electrochemistry. During the
school year he teaches General
Chemistry and Analytical I and H.
This interim he is teaching a class
in electronics.
"I'd like Minnesota better if it
had a spring and four less months
of winter," he commented.
However, this coming weekend he
is taking his church youth group
to a ski resort near St. Cloud.

hills around there, Schmidt said,

The kids can teach me."

and helping approach."

"The goal of the entire curri-culum
is to lead each student and
teacher toward Christian maturi-ty,
with Jesus Christ as the
model."
Well, that's what they want.
They've even printed it in the
Bethel registration catolog. And I
suppose I can accept that, even
though maturity is not one of my
greater assets.
Such a goal doesn't seem wrong
by any means. Matter of fact, it
seems, well, proper. I guess that's
what I want to say.
Of course, when you begin talk-ing
about Christian maturity you
have to consider all kinds of
related things—faith and works,
salvation by grace, election,
predestination and so forth.
I can remember a friend of mine
who was very much consumed
with trying to determine God's
will for his life. It seems he had
the most miserable luck.
Nothing ever went right for him
and he knew that somehow God's
will for him seemed to drastically
differ from his own.
I found him one day after his
car had caught on fire in the park-ing
lot. He was sitting on the steps
to the dorm, shaking his head and
throwing rocks at the fire hydrant.

him from across the road. He just

looked at me.
I had the idea that something
was wrong. But then, something
was usually wrong so I wasn't
really surprised.
I walked up to him. He ignored
my presence and threw another
rock at the hydrant.
"What happened this time?" I
asked him.
"Nothing," he said.
I watched as he bounced a small
pebble off the hubcap of a parked
LeSabre.
"Come on," I said. "It's rather
obvious that you're somewhat
upset about something."
He dropped a whole handful of
pebbles and turned to me. "My
car caught on fire," he said.
I almost laughed. It seemed so
typical. This was the guy that lost
textbooks, arrived late for class,
missed a final exam once, shot
layups at the wrong basket, and
fled from cadavers in a psych
ward.
"Charles, you're incredible. I
have never known anyone with as
many problems as you have."
He kicked the pebbles by his
feet. "God must be getting even
with me," he said.
"For what?" I asked.
"I don't know. But somehow I
feel like I'm being the wrong per-son
and he'll keep after me until I
become the right one."
I thought for a few minutes. I
had to come up with something
that could get his mind off his
woeful fortune.
"Hey, Charles. Why don't we
go grab some ice cream. I'll buy."
I knew Charles had this thing
about ice cream. The guy bought
it in gallons at a time and ate it
right out of the container with a
large soup spoon.
"Okay," he said, after place-kicking
a withered branch toward
a sign post. "But only for a little
while. I've got some studying to
do."
As we walked to the coffee shop
I pondered my next move. The ice
cream would only pacify him for a
short while. I needed something
concrete, something that would
hold him for a few days, maybe
even a week or two.
We sat down at a table in the
corner. He bought a very large
bowl of marshmallow chocolate. I
had a small cone of lime sherbert.
"Charles, when you pray, what
do you pray for?"
I leaned back in my chair.
"That's the problem," I said.
"What is?" he asked me.
"Well, you're praying for the
wrong things."
He sat down his spoon and
looked at me. "What do you
mean?"
"Remember that missionary we
heard in chapel? The one who has
been in Africa for the last four
years?"
"Yes."
"Remember how he said that he
once prayed that he didn't ever
want to be a missionary, especially
in Africa or South America?"
"So?"
"Well, his prayer was
answered. What he didn't want is
what he got. Don't you see? You
want better luck, but all you keep
getting is bad luck."
"And you're trying to tell me to
pray for bad luck? You're crazy!"
grabbed him by the arm as he
tried to leave. "No wait. Think
about it. It makes sense."
He sat down. After a long
while, as his ice cream melted into
a brown liquid, he smiled.
"You know, I think you're
right."
"That's it. Now you're coming
around."
He leaned back and folded his
arms. "So, I'll start praying for
bad luck. And after that, then I'll
make a whole list of things to pray
for."
"I'll pray that I never get A's
on my finals, that I don't get to go
to Florida during spring break,
that my Dad never considers buy-ing
me a Mercedes, that I'll
become a terrible skiier, that I
never get to go to Europe, that..."

part of the "experiential learning
vs. traditional learning" that three
Bethel students were involved in
last semester.
Kathy Rock, Dave Eckert and
Cynde Bottelson were part of the
Urban Studies Program through
Westmont College.
They lived in a boarding house
with 24 other college students in
San Francisco, where they worked
on independent studies,
placements, and attended urban
studies classes.
All three students are social
work majors, but stressed the fact
that the program is a valuable ex-perience
for anyone.
Independent studies, worth one
half credit, are many. Kathy chose
to do her independent study in
calligraphy, and Dave studied
Mandarin.
Kathy explained that
placements are of one's own
choosing also. "You set up
whatever you want," she explain-ed.
"You write up a resume, and
go through interviews. It's impor-tant
to be persistent in your place-ment
search," she added.

Howard and Randy Stonehill per-form
Saturday night in concert.
The program begins at 8:00 p.m.
and tickets are selling for $2.50 in
advance and $3.00 at the door.
Tom is a native of Minnesota
and started his singing career at
the early age of four. He has
traveled throughout the nation
and has been a frequent guest at
colleges, churches, Young Life
and Campus Life retreats and
conferences.
With the release of his first
album, "View From The Bridge,"
in 1977, Tom became well
established in contemporary
Christian music. He wrote all the
songs and conducted the music.

their placement, and a member of

members became more like
friends than teachers, the students
said.
Cynde's placement was with the
Hall of Justice ("You can see the
building on Starsky and Hutch,"
she said), and she worked in
prisons.
"I'd had a lot of experience in
volunteer work, but I had never
worked in a prison," she said.
Cynde was first given a tour of
the prison in less than one day.
Then she became acquainted with
the prisoners and interceded for
them to be sure they got all their
rights, such as the two phone calls
they are allowed.
She became close friends with a
few of the prisoners, and is still in
touch with one. She also had an
opportunity to meet and speak
with Dan White, who confessed to
killing Mayor Moscone and
Harvey Milke, who was on the
board of supervisors.
A verse of Scripture which.was

students was Matthew 25:36: "I

Stonehill's abilities are now
winning him a following where-ever
music is appreciated.
Music has always been a large
part of Randy's life as he too
began at an early age, singing in
city talent contests, coffee houses,
and folk concerts.
After graduation, he and friend
Larry Norman began to pursue
their musical interests together
and later, after Randy found
Christ, he committed his life and
talent to communicating the new
life and hope he had found.
Randy has an ability to speak
on a human level which is ap-in
prison and you came to me."
They saw many ways they could
minister to the hurting people of
San Francisco, in their placements
and just in everyday situations in
city life.
"The city lends itself to starting
conversations and meeting
people," Dave said. He once met
a man walking up the steep streets
of the city. The 88-year-old man
was carrying a suitcase and Dave
offered to help him.
He found out that this man had
flown up from San Diego to help a
young single girl move to another
part of the city.
Another time, David was taking
pictures in the park when a man,
apparently a bum, walked up to
him and started asking him why
he would waste his time taking
pictures.
He introduced himself as
Snoopy, and began to introduce
Dave to his other friends.
Getting to know the city, as well
as its inhabitants, was an impor-parent
on his latest album,
"Welcome to Paradise," which
was recently claimed by "Har-mony
Magazine" as the album of
the year for "its blend of superb
musicianship and incisive lyrics."
You definitely won't want to
miss this concert as it is sure to be
one of the best all year.
Sunday is also an eventful day
with the Super Bowl being shown
on an 8 by 8 foot screen in the
gym.
Because of the set-up necessary
for Founders Week, the new cam-pus
gym was not available.
Kick-off begins at 3:00 p.m.

tant part of the fall semester. Stu-dents
were forced to learn bus
routes and find their way to place-ments
or other parts of the city.
Kathy's placement was with a
volunteer bureau in the city, help-ing
people find volunteer oppor-tunities.
She learned interviewing
skills, and she spent a whole day
talking to high school students
about volunteer opportunities.
Dave's placement was in China-town,
where he worked as a
teacher's aid and did some tutor-ing
during school hours.
After school, he worked in a
"Bilingual after-school tutoring
and recreation program"—help-ing
students with homework, or
supervising games in the little
space the children had to play on.
"It was hard to figure out what
to do on such small play-grounds,"
Dave said. He ex-plained
that yard area was almost
non-existent in Chinatown.

Cynde added that Chinatown
has the highest density of people
in America.
"It's ironic in a city with people
everywhere that so many are hur-ting
and lonely," Dave said.
"This experience helped me to
look at things from a different
perspective. A loving and caring
attitude is so important."
The three Bethel students were
able to empathize more with the
people they were serving in an ex-perience
called "The Plunge."
For an entire night, they were
dressed up in ragged clothes, with
grease-smeared faces and dirty
hair, and they slept in the streets
and ate at the Union Gospel Mis-sion,
which provides food for peo-ple
with no money and no place to
go.
"It was a very frustrating ex-perience,"
Cynde recalled. "I saw
a lot of prejudice toward me, even
though I was the same person.
And I started feeling prejudiced
against any one who was dressed
nicely."
The experience taught the stu-dents,
in one night, to learn to
identify with street people. It was
a depressing experience, according
to Kathy, but a valuable one.
Three days before the end of
their stay in San Francisco, the
room Cynde and Kathy were stay-ing
in burned, and everything in it
was destroyed. "We were so
thankful no one was hurt," Kathy
said. The experience drew
everyone in the house closer to-gether.
Kathy, Dave and Cynde recom-mend
this program to any Bethel
student. "I think a semester off
campus is so valuable, and I thi.:k
it should be mandatory," Dave
said.

"Passages" magazine is an annual
publication devoted to depicting
college life through poetry, prose,
and the visual arts.
Student "creations" submitted

underline the meaning of the
magazine's title: the individual
"passage" from bewilderment to
assuredness, from complacency to
conscientiousness, or from
freshman to graduate.

According to his friends, Mark
is "good with his hands." A

"Mark was head and shoulders
above everyone else. He could
make a living out of it."
Mark also studied karate until
last fall. He quit just before

he did not have the time.
After Mark graduates this spr-ing
he would like to move back

Coach Dave Harris agreed the
transfers have helped. "The new
players have added depth to the
team. There are more options
open to the coach."
"We played very well last week.
Tom Rhoades, sophomore
transfer, played especially well
against Gustavus," said Harris.
"He kicked out 48 shots. We
made some mistakes but that's
because we're young and inex-perienced."
Against the Oles, Tom Correll
opened the scoring midway
through the first period before St.
Olaf rebounded to take a 2-1 lead
early in the second period.
Tom Berquist knocked in a goal
from close range, tying the game.
Correll scored his second of the
game minutes later, poking in a
loose puck. But again the Oles
rallied to take the lead 4-3.

high school player at

the game, scoring on a

When Scott Feltman started
school at Bethel this fall, he
wasn't highly touted as an athlete.
Sure, he was all-state in soccer
and all-conference in hockey as a
senior at Minnehaha Academy,
but few expected Feltman to lead
both the hockey and soccer
squads in scoring as a freshman.
read "only" 40 books.
He taught himself to draw
blueprints and has almost finished
drawing the plans for his house.
"I'd show Debbie the drawings
and tell her how big things were
going to be. She'd tell me if she
wanted them bigger or smaller,"
he said.
While Debbie is at home with
the baby she does some sewing for
a company. She also sews for
herself and Mark. She and Mark
are caretakers for their apartment
building.
Mark has no immediate plans
for grad school. But he plans to
continue working with his com-pany.
However, he and Debbie are
anxious to go "home," not just
because their families are there,
but also because they feel a great
spiritual need there, especially
among young people.
breakaway. When St. Olaf took
the lead for the third time late in
the game, things looked bleak for
the Royals.
But Steve Kettelkamp put the
Royals into overtime, pumping in
a shot with less than two minutes
left. In overtime, Scott Feltman's
slap-shot trickled past the St. Olaf
goalie, giving Bethel its second
win of the season.
At Gustavus, Correll again
started the scoring. But Gustavus
star Dave Kunz put in three
unanswered goals to give the
Gusties a lead they never relin-quished.
Other Bethel goals were by
Chuck Engberg and Berquist, Ber-quist's
coming on a tremendous
slap-shot. Correll finished the
scoring, firing in a 12-footer while
using the defenseman as a screen.
The Royals finish their toughest
stretch of the season tonight, play-ing
conference leader Augsburg at
Columbia Arena at 8 p.m. Univer-sity
of Wisconsin-Stout invades
Columbia next Wednesday.
Nicknamed "Flapper" because
of the way he constantly chatters
on and off the field, Feltman's
forte is definitely offense. For the
soccer team, he had seven goals
and as a hockey player, he has put
in 12 goals with seven assists for
19 points.
In addition, the winning goals
in both the Royals' victories this
winter were scored by Feltman, a
center forward in both soccer and
hockey.
He also played baseball in high
school. When asked which sport
was his favorite, Feltman wasn't
sure. "It's kinda close. I guess I
like hockey the most, I have a lit-tle
more interest there, I've been
playing it longer."
Indeed, Feltman recalls playing
hockey as early as six-years-old
while he didn't start soccer until
he was 12.
Hockey Coach Dave Harris said
Feltman has been working hard.
"He's a good, fast skater, a heady
player," said Harris. "Good
wingers help, too. I'm real pleased
with him and the rest of the line.
He's doing everything asked of
him."
"He's going to have to work on
his defense. It's a matter of get-ting
experience, it'll come with
time," Harris said.
Dickie Voth, the soccer coach,
realized Feltman showed promise.
"I knew he had potential. But a
lot of freshman don't show it their
first year. But halfway through
the season, he started to show his
potential. Although he was incon-sistent
at times, he had some high
points."
Augsburg, Gustavus Adolphus
Cornell (N.Y) tried to recruit
Feltman. According to him, Cor-nell
wanted him the most, doing a
big follow-up in recruiting. The
University of Minnesota also
showed some interest.
Feltman felt that coming from
Minnehaha, Bethel filled most of
his needs. He cited the Christian
atmosphere, academics, and de-cent
athletic teams as reasons for
his coming here.
"When I first got here, Bethel
didn't totally impress me. But the
more I've been here, the more I've
come to realize that this is a nice
place," said Feltman. "It's got
people here that care, especially
the coaches. I don't think you
could get that kind of treatment at
a state school."

The most successful broomball
season in IM history started last
week with 23 teams and over 200
kids participating.
Many people have approached
me over the past two weeks and
asked "What is broomball?" I
tried to explain some of the facets
of the game and the rules par-
- ticular to Bethel IM broomball.
Eight people on a team, half of
the players on the ice have to be
girls, two halves of twenty
minutes running time, etcetera.
But Bethel broomball is more
than that. It's hard to describe.
You almost have to experience it
to fully understand.

pressures and worries by scrambl-ing,
sliding, slipping and diving on
glare ice after a half-deflated
volleyball. The closest thing I can
compare it to is what I saw the
first time I knocked the top of an
ant hill off.
Bethel broomball is more than
that, too.
It's Earl Johnson smiling after

Later in the half, Ray Miller ex-tended
the Royal's margin to ele-ven.
Receiving a pass from Steve
Carrigan after a Carrigan re-bound,
Miller dribbled the length
of the floor for a lay-up.
The Pipers, spurred by the fine
play of their point guard Mark
Hall, who led the scroring for
Hamline with 12 points, whittled
the Royals' lead to only seven
points with 5:32 remaining in the
game.

Bethel broomball.
Assistant coach George Palke
attributed the win to the Royals'
tough defensive play.
"We're working on improving
our defense," said Palke, "and on
becoming more agressive without
fouling. So far we haven't been
completely successful."
The Royals accumulated 29
fouls during Saturday's game to
Hamline's 19.
"When we did get in foul trou-ble,"
said Palke, "we had people
come off the bench that made a
great contribution." The Royals

"Lack of tournament ex-perience
hurts us," said coach
Klostreich. "We're more of a dual
team."
With the conference tourna-ment
just over a month away, the
Royals will be concentrating on
one match at a time.
"We'll be working on getting in
better shape," said Klostreich,
"and working on the technical
things more."

The women's basketball team
had its debut in Williams Arena,
and the result was a last second
53-50 win over the U of M varsity
reserves.
The Royals had to work hard to
contain the short and quick runn-ing
opposition, and Bethel was
able to come from behind and
hang on to a slight lead for the
win.
The U of M had to resort to in-tentionally
fouling to get the ball
back in the closing moments of
the game. But with a one point
lead, Cindi Ramm made two free
throws to ensure the hard-fought
victory.
"We had a lot of turnovers, and
that was frustrating," said Coach
Kathy Nevins, "but the refs were
really good."

Bethel also outrebounded the
Pipers 46-33.
"Taking the rebounding dif-ference
and the turnover dif-ference
and the difference in the
number of shots, we eliminated
the negative aspects of all those
fouls," said Palke.
"Statistically, the Royals shot
31 of 70 from the field to the
Pipers' 21 of 49. Ray Miller led
the scoring for the Royals with 20
points, followed by Dave Blanch-
The Royals then defeated St.
Theresa's 64-52 despite being
hampered by poor gym condi-tions.
The team was behind until
well into the game when they were
finally able to put things together
in the cracker-box gym.
"It was a hard game," said
Coach Nevins, "because we
weren't able to spread out our of-fense
in such a small gym."
Poor refereeing added to the
frustrations of the team, and ten-sion
was high at times during the
game.
"Despite the win, we all felt like
we had lost," said Nevins. "Last
year we easily beat St. Theresa's."
In the final game of a full week,
Bethel lost to St. Mary's 60-50.
and with 16.
Scott Wilson picked up eight
points, Tom Weko seven, Greg
Peterson six, Tom Tengwall five,
and Steve Carrigan, Dave Siebert
and Todd Chapman four each.
Ray Miller also led the team in
rebounds with 10, followed by
Siebert and Wilson with eight a
piece.
The Royals next home contest
will be January 31 against Gus-tavus
in a game scheduled to begin
at 7:30 p.m.
Bethel scored only two points in
the first six minutes, as opposed to
14 points by St. Mary's.
"When we finally warmed up,
we played well against them,"
said Nevins. "We stayed even
with them through the rest of the
game. They scored a few baskets
in the end to make the score look
worse."
Sheila Kroon kept Bethel in the
game by hitting four straight
baskets from the top of the key.
Katie Miller also hit key baskets
from her wing position.
The Royals aren't at home
again until February when they
