MIAC 'natural marriage' for Bethel athletics
by G.W. Smith
"The MIAC is the place where
we ought to be in terms of types of
institutions that are members,"
said Dale Stephens, chairman of
the chemistry department.
As the faculty representative to
the M1AC, a position appointed
by the dean in concurrence with
the athletic deparment, Stephens
has viewed Bethel's entrance into
the MIAC optimistically.
First, according to Stephens,
Bethel is closer by academic stan-dards
to MIAC schools than to
any other schools Bethel has com-peted
against athletically.
Citing the favorable academic
reputations of the conference
schools, Stephens hopes that con-tinued
association with those
schools will rub off on Bethel in
increased academic prestige.
Athletic competition in the
MIAC also provides an outreach
that Bethel can use.
"Of all the ways an institution
can get visibility, athletics is pro-bably
one of the easiest," he said,
mentioning consistent newspaper
and radio coverage. "And for a
school such as Bethel, it opens the
door to various forms of
ministry."
It was not uncommon during
this past football season to watch
athletes from both teams gather
on the field after games to ex-change
greetings.
"In this way we have much
more contact with non-Bethel
people," said Stephens.
Stephens, a resident of Rose-ville,
cited an instance with his
neighbor, a St. Olaf alumnus.
"He was never too interested in
Bethel until two years ago when
Bethel beat them in football,"
said Stephens. "After that he
wanted to know about Bethel. I
feel that this sort of thing opens
up a way to tell about Bethel and
what we have here."
Four times during the football
season, radio stations selected
Bethel as the game of the week for
coverage. Stephens, operating the
scoreboard from the press box,
noticed the remarks of the various
announcers.
"The announcers were compli-mentary
of the caliber of play, the
athletes' performances, coaches'
performances and student support
in both numbers and conduct,"
he said. "In short, they presented
a very positive aspect."
According to one announcer
Stephens overheard, Bethel's
football team played better this
season that their 2-7 record re-vealed,
a fact indicative of the
caliber of play and competition in
the conference.
Of the many teams participat-ing
in the MIAC, four were recog-nized
nationally in the top 20
by Betty Logan
'Bethel's foreign language
department has more than doub-led
in the last few years. Still, only
around 10 per cent of the Bethel
students enroll in a language class
per year.
Dr. Lillian Ryberg, professor of
Spanish, encourages students to
take a language for several
reasons. She feels that exposure to
another culture is important in
determining one's world view,
especially for that of the Chris-tian.
"There are real oppor-tunities
for Christians using a
foreign language," said Ryberg.
"They can make positive con-tributions."
Ryberg puts emphasis on
Spanish church-related work for
her students. "I'm trying to tie it
all together with the Spanish
church here," she said, referring to
student's involvement at Bethle-hem
Baptist Church.
There are many opportunities
to use Spanish through the Baptist
General Conference, especially in
Latin America. There are also
several Spanish churches in the
U.S. "I think students can
especially minister through music
to these Spanish congregations,"
said Ryberg.
Ryberg would like to see more
students studying abroad. One
program she supports is one where
a student spends the summer in
Mexico and then is able to stay on
at the University of Mexico. Dr.
Ryberg hopes to take an interim
class to Mexico next January, dur-ing
which students will stay in
Spanish-speaking homes.
One of the hinderances any
overseas program faces is finan-cial
feasibility. Ryberg is hoping
to keep the cost of the projected
interim program at $700.

were St. John's, Gustavus, St.
Olaf, and Concordia-Moorehead.
Regardless of success though,
positive aspects such as Tom Klit-zke's
high rushing average and
Paul Lindberg's record field goal
highlighted this past season.
Stephens noted several advan-tages
to participation in the
MIAC. The MIAC is a stronger
conference competitively than the
Tri-state conference, travel in the
MIAC is diminished, and natural
Another program, written by
junior Bobbie Dischinger, runs
around $400 for a summer in
Mexico. One of the reasons Mex-ico
is chosen for the programs is
that it is the least expensive.
Dr. Ryberg isn't pushing for a
requirement in foreign language
here at Bethel, but she does think
there would be advantages to a re-quirement..
"I've lived through required
language and non-required lan-guage
programs, and both systems
have problems," said Ryberg. "If
I were to chose, I'd chose
language requirement, and if not
that, possibly a culture require-ment."
Innovations in the department
are aimed at creating understan-ding
of other cultures and
peoples.

By tomorrow evening over 200
Bethel men will have moved into
the new South Dorm A, filling it
to capacity and leaving behind on-ly
20-30 residents in Edgren.
According to Director of
Residence Life, Bruce Kunkel, the
dorm will be 100 per cent finished,
including the installation of a new
television set, new foosball and
pool tables, washers, dryers, and
vending machines. Residence
Directors Jim and Kathy Walcott
will have moved in earlier in the
week.
Because more people than ex-pected
applied to move from non-college
housing to the new dorm,
20-30 men will be housed in
Edgren. These include those who
prefer to live on old campus, those
who were late in applying for
housing, and some transfer
students. This influx of students
rivalries develop because of local
proximities of the competing
schools.
Among the various duties of the
faculty representatives to the
MIAC is the concern to operate
the conference "above board,"
changed the administration's
plans to close down Edgren.
Because the Edgren dorm does
not have a zoned heating system,
where the heat in different sec-tions
of the building can be turned
down, the entire building will re-main
heated. The costs for elec-tricity
and hot water, however,
should diminish with the decreas-ed
population.
Larry Meegan and Larry Kittle,
in charge of security for the
women's dorms, will move into the
vacant resident director's apart-ment.
An R.A. is also being
chosen for Edgren.
The new dorm has been 99 per
cent ready for occupany since Jan.
5. According to Kunkel, Bethel
has been "pushing the contractor
to move in as soon as possible, but
we didn't want to move before
everything was done." Jan. 13

just arose as the best date for the
move," he added.
Kunkel said that most of the
furnishings have been stored at
the old campus gym since they ar-rived
in November. A crew head-ed
by Dave Kregness has been in
charge of moving and installing
the furniture.
On Saturday, a truck will be
available to haul the residents'
packed belongings, but everyone
is responsible for transporting the
luggage to and from the truck. A
schedule has been made for the
move, and residents are asked to
abide by it.
South Dorm B was scheduled to
be ready six weeks after the first
dorm. Dorm B's construction is
presently about a week behind this
schedule, but its completion is
highly dependent upon the pro-mpt
delivery of sheet-rock.

Opinion
Department myopia
a danger at Bethel
the Soapbox
An open response to Mrs. Rudy Perpich
Dear Mrs. Perpich,
I have no doubt as to Governor
Quie's Christian commitment but
that is not the reason that I voted
for him, or the vast majority of
Minnesotans voted for him for
that matter.
I am sure that there were those
who voted for Mr. Quie just
because he was a Christian, just as
I am sure that there were those
who voted for your husband on
the basis that he was a Democrat
alone. To claim that Al Quie beat
your husband because his Chris-tian
commitment was made
known is totally unfounded.
Mrs. Perpich, you also stated
that your husband ran a "clean,
honest campaign based on
issues," and that Quie "carried a
Bible in one hand and a bucket of
mud in the other." To say the
least, Lola, you sound partially
biased and a teeny bit bitter.
I contend that Minnesota voters
voted on the issues, and believe
me, there were a lot of important
issues to consider.
Instead of being superficial,
Mrs. Perpich, why don't you
analyze the differences between
the way Al Quie stood on the
issues and the way your husband
did: consider the issues of abor-tion,
BWCA, the powerline,
education, and taxes just to name
a few.
The Minnesota voters consider-ed
them, and in their opinion Al
Quie was the man they wanted for
the job.
I can understand your feelings.
A loss in such a close election is
often hard to take and I honestly
sympathize with you because of it:
our family has been in the same
position. But please, do not be ir-rational
and attack Al Quie on
such superficial evidence as you
came up with.
I have to admit that AL Quie's
Christianity was brought up con-tinually
throughout the campaign.
But was it Al Quie bringing it up
or others, including the media?
Not once during the political
rallies and speeches that I attend-ed
did Mr. Quie bring up the fact
that he was a born again Chris-tian.
Others brought it up and Al
Quie was forced to confirm or
deny it. Of course he did not deny
such an important aspect of his
life.
I ask you, Mrs. Perpich, why
should Governor Quie be called
upon to separate two of the most
important aspects of his life,
namely his Christian commitment
and his concern for quality
government?
May I close with the definition
you gave of "Christian." You
said, "having qualities demon-strated
and taught by Jesus
Christ, as love, kindness, humility
—a decent respectable person."
Your definition is not of a "Chris-tian,"
but of a person who is
"Christ-like." There is a big dif-ference!
A Christian is one who has
dedicated his life to Jesus Christ
after accepting Him as his per-sonal
Savior. Your husband may
have "Christ-like" characteristics
as you said, but is he a Christian?
Like I said before, there is a big
difference.
Sincerely,
Steven Paul Hoswell

Among Bethel's advantageous qualities is the freedom allowed within
the basic framework of its curriculum.
Outside of an introductory Bible course and Writing and Research,
no specific courses are required. Rather, the student may choose from
several courses to fill each broad category.
Furthermore, Bethel has remained dedicated to a liberal arts ideal.
Students are to be exposed to a variety of disciplines, and only one half
of a course load involves the concentration and cognates.
Sadly, a trend is creeping in, however subtly, and pushing the student
toward greater specialization and less time spent outside of his field.
This trend seems to come from the academic departments themselves.
In their zeal for the quality of their programs and the skills of their
graduates, professors are ever encouraging students to keep their minds
in the major and not to distract themselves.
Many departments have become increasingly demanding of their
students' extra-curricular time.
This presents two dangers. First, students are discouraged more and
more from getting a true liberal arts education. They are forced to
specialize.
Secondly, students outside of a department may encounter difficulty
taking courses within that department, due to competitiveness and the
preference given to majors.
It appears that a "departmental myopia" has set in. Interest has
strayed from the good of the student as a whole person, and from the
best interests of the liberal arts college.
Those within a department are less interested and supportive of ac-tivities
in other departments, and gripe when they don't get enough sup-port
for their own.
Now, of course we don't wish to discourage quality education. We
believe, though, that the liberal arts background is essential -to a quality
education.
Bethel's registration catalogue states, "Liberal arts learning at Bethel
assumes that students should learn to know themselves, to appreciate
their intellectual and cultural heritage, to evaluate and understand the
world and society in which they live, to exercise critical judgment, to be
intellectually alert, and to work effectively with other people."
That is a very aspiring statement. But who gives a rip about all that
anymore? We're into "departmental excellence" now.
Here we may have something to learn from 1 Cor. 12: "The eye can-not
say to the hand, 'I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the
feet, '1 don't need you!' "
A body wouldn't accomplish much if the head didn't know what the
hand was doing (and didn't care).
Bethel has high quality departments in Bible, music, art, chemistry
and several others. But let us be careful to realize that a finger that ,
separates itself from the rest of the hand no longer has even its own
strength.

Ode to a sign
To the editor:
On Bethel campus is a winding road
Which now is used a-plenty.
Along this road are little signs
which plead "our speed is 20."
These valiant signs speak proudly "our"
To a community tried and true.
And obviously expect the best
For they even say "thank you."
They stand on guard thru rain and storm
And ne'er expect affection;
But do at least hope you will know
They are there for your protection.
No wonder, then the signs are sad
When speeders pass them by
For fear some tragedy befall
A jogging gal or guy.
Oh, you who drive the campus road
With thoughtless, careless speed;
Who hardly slow at stop signs
And cross walks seldom heed.
Beware!
The little sign may come alive
And from behind a thicket
Someone who says "our speed is 20"
May say it with a ticket.

Bit of clay finds its best environment
by Rick Chapman
Once upon a time a lump of
brown clay sat by a babbling
brook. Day after day the clay
rested along the brook's edge,
fulfilling no other function than
to watch the water as it flowed
past. The clay was very content
with such a simple and humble ex-istence,
and the clay remained
satisfied no matter what season of
the year it might be.
In the summer the clay was
warmed by bright gleaming sun,
and in the autumn the clay en-joyed
the cool winds and the
leaves which caressed him ever so
gently. Through the winter the
clay was blessed by the fresh white
covering of snow which protected
the clay from the biting wind.
The clay was always pleased to
be a part of the glorious garb of
spring—to rest in the midst of
blooming buds, green grass, and
flowers of all kinds. In spring the
brook would again flow freely
along its rock-strewn course, and
the clay would once again study
the brook's progress.
One day another lump of clay,
darker than the first, was passing
by and noticed the first lump of
clay resting by the brook intently
gazing at the rushing water.
At first the darker clay was con-tent
to go along its way, but then
he decided that the brown clay
should have some companionship.
So he beckoned the brown clay to
come along.
But the brown clay would not
be moved easily. He considered
the security of the environment
and his continual satisfaction by
the flowing brook. Following
these thoughts, the brown clay en-treated
the newcomer, "Where
can I possibly go that would be
better than my place right here by
the brook?"
The darker clay laughed hearti-ly
in response. "Have you ever
left this place?"
"Well, no."
"C'mon then. You don't know
how good it is to be free, to go
anywhere you want, anytime you
want. Join with me, you won't be
sorry, I promise." Finally with
some hesitation, the brown clay
left the brook's edge and went
along.
It was not long before the
brown clay had completely for-gotten
about his simple and com-fortable
home by the brook. The
clay enjoyed immensely the new
freedom he had discovered. He
became good friends with the
darker clay and they did much to-gether.
All was fine until one day the
darker clay led him by a hard
ground of thorns. When the
brown clay went near it, the
darker clay bumped him so that he
became trapped in the thorns.
Then the darker clay laughed
loudly just as he had when the
brown clay first met him, and he
departed.
Caught in the thorns, the brown
clay writhed with pain. It hurt
even more deeply when he realized
how he had been deceived. The
more effort The clay expended try-ing
to get loose, the more tightly
he became entangled in the sharp
brambles. Although he began yell-ing
for help, no one was near that
might hear his call of desperation.
After a while the clay quit strug-gling
and resigned himself to his
new bondage. The seasons chang-ed
as usual but now they brought
with them hardships to the clay,
instead of joy.
The summer heat dried out and
cracked the clay's soft, smooth
coat, and the autumn wind chap-ped
and blistered the clay.
Winter's icy winds bit deeply into
the punctures that the thorns had
inflicted.
In the spring, the thorns grew

Handling of
controversy

Dear editor,
I would like to reply about the
article "Controversial artpiece
kindles response" by Becky Dye
in your last issue. I think the
Clarion should be commended for
its handling of this controversial
subject.
Jeff Weissbach's purpose in his
sculpture was confusing to me
before I read this story. I did not
see its significance on our campus
until I read the art department's
defense of it.
I think the Clarion should con-tiue
to take such an approach on
such issues. I hope that your paper
will also continue to take a neutral
and explanatory stand with such
stories.

blacker and thicker, and the clay's
bondage became all the more sure.
Without warning, a barefooted
man came along in the middle of
the night and perceived the clay's
difficult predicament. He im-mediately
walked into the patch of
thorns. The sharp briars cut
through the skin on his feet. The
brown clay could do nothing else
but look on in amazement as the
barefoot man released him from
the thorns.
The clay's time of bondage in
the thorns had left him deformed
and discolored. He was ashamed
to be found in such total shab-biness
and so completley destitute.
In spite of the clay's condition,
the man held the clay in his hands.
He rubbed the clay gently and
pulled out some of the thorns
which were embedded in the clay.
Lynip is working with Dr. Taylor
on the England study tour
planned for the Fall of 1979.
"I hope to meet with students
who may be interested in the pro-gram,"
he said. He began the
England study program while he
was at Westmont, and led the first
two groups of students in the pro-gram.
The study Taylor will be
leading will be the Bethel and
Westmont students.
Dr. Lynip will also speak in a
faculty luncheon at noon on Mon-day
on "The Import of Mal-practice
Lawsuits on Christian
College Teaching."
This caused the clay to cry out.
The man held the brown lump
of clay to his side and began walk-ing.
He walked a very long time
and to the clay it seemed like
many miles. When the man stop-ped
he pinched the clay in
numerous places and rearranged
the clay, pushing parts of the clay
into different places as it pleased
him.
All of this caused the clay
serious hurt and much discom-fort.
The clay squirmed at this dif-ficulty,
but the man did not let the
brown clay go. When he seemed
satisfied the man put the clay
down.
No sooner than he had touched

I was well pleased with the work

doing, arrive at a high level of ex-cellence.
Thus, I'm sure the Festival is
not in danger of becoming a strict-ly

Summer hits Bethel in theatre
by Ed Scott Palmquist
"Summer stock is an important
part of the American theater,"
said Douglas Briggs, chairman of
Bethel's theatre arts department.
"We hope to capture its atmo-sphere
in our interim class, Sum-mer
Stock in January."
The class of 22 students will
present three plays, "Can't Take
It With You," "Harvey," and
"Charlie's Aunt." "I chose three
plays that are traditional summer
stock plays," said Briggs.
According to Briggs, the plays
will be easy to work with because
they are light comedies, have
small casts, are not dependent on
scenery and allow a wide range of
interpretation of characters.
"The primary purpose of the
class is to build unity among the
actors," said Briggs. "This will
come from long hours, organiza-tion
and planning." Briggs
believes that the class structure
will demand a great deal of
cooperation from the actors to
achieve its purpose.
Briggs thinks that the interim
class will be a true example of
other summer stock programs.
"About one week per play will be
spent rehearsing and

American Youth Hostels
(AYH), specialists in low-cost
travel for over 45 years, offers
some creative ways to see the
world.
Most of the Virginia based
organization's 70 trips are design-ed
for those who want to see the
world under their own steam—by
bicycle, foot or canoe.
Varying from six to 44 days,
from bicycling in Hawaii to back-packing
in the Canadian Rockies
to sightseeing in Moscow, the trips
share one common element: hos-teling.
Hosteling is high adventure on a
low budget. It is living out of
backpacks and saddlebags and
staying in hostels, low-cost over-night
travel accommodations. It is
for the young at heart, and not, as
the name implies, for only the
young in age.
AYH offers 25 trips for adults
(21 years and over), both in the
United States and abroad.
American Youth Hostels' free
"1979 J-Iighroad to Adventure"
travel borchure describes each of
the trips.
In addition to these pre-planned
trips, their Travel Department will
design and make arrangements for
organizers of special groups who
wish to create their own tour
performing," said Briggs. "This
'will give the students some idea of
what to expect iri theater outside
of college."
Briggs believes that the students
chosen for his class are at many
different levels of experience in
acting. According to Briggs, sum-mer
theater allows a lot of actors
to get their start in acting.
"I casted some students,in roles
to allow them to seriously think
about acting," said Briggs. "The
class will be made up of a wide
range of talent."
"By being chosen to be in sum-mer
stock," said senior Ryan
Muehlhauser, "I'm planning on
developing a discipline towards
acting." Ryan also believes that
summer stock will aid the student
in being able to work with people
on an intense level. Students in the
interim class will spend an average
of 60 hours a week in class.
"I'm looking forward to the
class," said sophomore Karen
Koehn, "because among other
things, it's going to be fun." Ac-cording
to Briggs, ushers will wear
summer outfits and pink
lemonade will be served during
performances to make the class
more enjoyable.
Most students also think that
summer stock will be helpful
plans.
Groups are composed of seven
to nine members and a trained
AYH leader. AYH groups follow
definite itineraries, yet are free to
make group decisions along the
way.
Abroad, groups stay primarily
in youth hostels. In the United
States and Canada, AYH groups
stay both in hostels and at camp-grounds.
"Saddlebag Special," a four-week
cycling trip through En-gland,
France, Belgium and the
Netherlands, is one of the most
popular European trips.
Both a youth and an adult
"Saddlebag Special" group are
planned this summer.
"Alpine Ramble" is a six-week
youth backpacking trip through
some of the most spectacular,
unspoiled scenery in Europe.
Travel from Chamonix, France,
to Innsbruck, Austria. Hiking is
interspersed with short hops by
train and bus.
Hosteling trips in the United
States include "New England," a
four-week cycle trip along the
Connecticut River from Massa-chusetts
to New Hampshire and
along the Cape Cod National
Seashore.
"Salty Dog" is a two-week cy-cle
trip which begins in New Lon-don,
Connecticut. Visit Mystic
Seaport and ferry to Martha's
Vineyard and Nantucket for seve-ral
days of sun and saltwater.

spiritually. "I think it is going to
help me improve my character in
many ways," said Koehn. "I hope
that I will be able to get along bet-ter
with people after this class."
Besides memorizing lines, some
students plan on doing extra-curricular
activities before class
begins. "I am going to get some
pointers on how to play the
xylophone," said Ryan. "I play
the instrument in one of the
plays."
The plays will be presented on
the following dates: "Can't Take
It With You," tonight and tomor-row
night; "Harvey," Jan. 17-20;
"Charlie's Aunt," Jan. 24-26.

Paul and said, "Snow on the hori-zon,
Paul..." He nodded and con-tinued

I turned to Paul again.

Bethel receives
financial aid
for library
Washington—Eight area col-leges
and universities have receiv-ed
more than $30,000 in federal
funds to expand their school
libraries and information services,
Congressman Bruce Vento
(D-Minn.) announced today.
"The grants, each for $3,906,
can be used to' buy bobks, peri-odicals,
magnetic tapes, phono-graph
records, audiovisual mater-ials,
and other library resources,"
Vento said.
Receiving the grants are Bethel
College, Hamline University,
Lakewood Community College,
William Mitchell College of Law,
College of St. Catherine,
Macalester College, College of St.
Thomas and the University of
Minnesota.
The funds were awarded by the
U.S. Office of Education.
Paul grunted and spit out a rib-bon,
He's like that I thought, wip-ing
the ink out of my eyes. I look-ed
over the papers on my desk.
They were like so many orphans,
each begging to be written.
I shrugged my shoulders. May-be
tomorrow. I began to think tor-menting
thoughts. What if Suzi
was serious about me writing for
the Clarion. I stared at the ceiling.
"You really think Suzi was
serious about me writing, Paul?"
"Nope..."
"Oh...well she sounded sincere,
y'know?"
"Forget it."
I turned back to my papers.
They were still there. I picked my
nose thoughtfully. It was all for
the best anyway, I mused. I hated
to write, and I had absolutely
nothing to say. Still...I could
write, my mother told me so.
"Kid, you can write, you could be
famous!" she said, her eyes water-ing.
It didn't matter to me that she
had rotten taste anyway. She
believed in me. I would make her
proud! I could picture her gnarled
old features lighting up with joy at
the thought of her son making it
in the big city.
I pictured myself in a solitary
room somewhere in New York,
typing out my manuscript on my
old Remington. The book that
would change history. I would be
another Tolstoy, a Hemingway, a
Nielsen! I changed blades and
worked on into the night.
A belch broke my reverie. It
was Paul, dispatching another box
of Fritos into Kingdom Come. He
looked tired, his eyes red and
bleary. Another late night for
him, I thought, noting the T.V.
rapidly warming up in the corner.
"Uh Paul..."
"Mmghm?"
I wiped the Fritos off my face.
"If Suzi was only kidding about
my writing, why did she give me a
deadline?"
"Probably because she knew
you'd never do it."
I mused, it sounded
reasonable... "What's on the
tube?"
"Godzilla meets Smitty."
It sounded good, I cast one last
glance at the papers and helped
myself to the Fritos. Suzi would
have to wait.

Joel Hodgson manipulates a metal ball without using his hands.
Student magician goes professional
by Joy Nannette Banta
If you suddenly find yourself
floating in mid-air while you're
talking to him, don't worry. If he
reaches inside his hat and pulls out
a rabbit, don't get startled. If he
asks you to step into a box and
begins to cut you into sixths, don't
panic. He's a magician.
Without his magician's hat and
cape he is one of us, a freshman
Bethel student, Joel Hodgson.
Joel is a native of Green Bay, Wis.
He is here at Bethel concentrating
in theatre arts with a cognate in
art. But off campus he is a profes-sional
magician and ventriloquist.
Joel began his stage career as a
ventriloquist in seventh grade
when he learned the trade through
a correspondence course. He and
his dummy performed for church
groups until the summer before
his freshman year in high school.
"I met a professional magician
at a Christian camp that summer
who got me started in magic. I had
always been interested in magic
but never seriously considered it
until then.
"The magician told me about a
mailing house where I could get
the things I would need to get
started," said Joel.
He bought enough to get him
going in magic and, as he earned
money doing shows, he invested in
better things.
"Everything I do is taken from
an illusion somebody has already
done," he said. "I get a secret and
build from there. I construct
much of my own equipment."
"No matter what trick I do, I
always try to change it just a little
bit so it is different from what
other magicians do."
Joel considers his ventriloquism
to be just another act in his show
now. He is usually billed as a
magician and then does a four-minute
ventriloquism act.
"I started as a ventriloquist but
then as I got into magic, the magic
got to be more and more and the
ventriloquism less and less," Joel
said.
Joel would like to make his act
-into a ministry. He says there was
a time when he wanted to be a
magician—successful, rich and
famous.
"There was a time when magic
filled my thought life," he said,
"but then I realized that if it was
going to be a ministry for the
Lord, the Lord would have to be
the center of my thoughts."
Joel's favorite trick is what
Harry Houdini, the inventor of
the trick, called metamorphosis.
He usually uses it as the finale in
his shows.
"It is my favorite trick because
escapes are always fun."
Some say they can't see as well
to read the card index. Others
complain there isn't a convenient
place to relax. And still more
notice that throughout Bethel's
learning resource center (library)
there's less talk—as well as less
light—except in crucial spots.
LRC director Bob Suderman
has long been concerned about the
conflict of noise with study needs
in the library's open center mall.
A few weeks ago his brother, an
industrial photographer from
New Hampshire, observed the si-tuation
and noted that the ex-traneous
noise and bright lighting

were related.
He talked about the psychology
of color: the bright orange accents
and intense lighting being ex-citable,
creating a psychological
dilemma in contrast to the objec-tives
of the library.
"We talked about his ideas at a
staff meeting," Suderman said,
"and decided to cut down the
lighting over the card catalogue
where much of the talking
occurs." Table lamps with soft
white bulbs were placed on the
cabinets to provide sufficient light
to read by.
"We also doused lights over the
walk area at the circulation desk
where jabbering gets started and
carries over into study spaces," he
said. And the central lounge
chairs were dispersed to discour-age
conversational groups.
"There's a noticeable change in
behavior which seems directly
related to lighting patterns,"
Suderman observes.
How long it will last, no one
will predict. Yet the results thus
far encourage the staff to plan on
replacing all the cool white
flourescent lighting with warm
daylight bulbs and to explore indi-vidual
lighting for study carrels
while darkening the spaces around
them to minimize distractions in
the room.

"The energy gap has to be
filled."
"We have no commitment to
safe alternatives."
"Most nuclear waste is from
defense, not commercial
sources."
So the debate went on Tuesday
night when pro and anti-nuclear
power debators met in a panel
discussion presented for interested
Bethel students.
The debate, set up by Jim
Wiegner in conjunction with Stu-dent
Senate and Bill Johnson's in-term
class, began with NBC film
on nuclear waste. The film, which
emphasized the dangers of nuclear
waste, was hailed by the anti-nukes
as a third person on their
panel, and slashed by the pro-nuclear
side as yellow journalism.
The major points which both
page six
sides expounded upon were the
health effects on nuclear waste,
and the technology of waste
disposal.
Healthwise, as in almost every
other aspect of the debate, the op-posing
sides held very opposite
position. The anti-nukes claimed
the exposure to nuclear waste was
cancer causing, while the pro-faction
insisted there was no
documented evidence for this
statement. The anti-nukes, Madge
Zitlow and Terry Hokenson,
quoted from reports which stated
the states with nuclear reactors
had increased cancer rates, while
other states were experiencing
decreases in these rates. Dr. Frank
Meyer and NSP engineer, Dale
Vincent, countered this issue with
documentation of the continuing
health of 25 workers exposed to
plutonium in the 1940's.

"All over," was the title and
the last line of Theatre in the
Round's production of Edward
Albee's play, and the opening
night audience was glad it was.
All talk (dull talk at that) and
no action characterized the depic-tion
of a group of people waiting
for a man to die.
The dying man is never seen,
symbolically shut away from the
living characters who offer the au-dience
a psychological study as
they argue about death and life.
Their lives present Albee's
typical view of a society lacking
values and morals.
Set entirely in the living room of
the dying man's home, the play
captures some of the futility of
people waiting only for death, as
the characters do nothing but
scoff at the past experiences of the
others, and inquire of the doctor
as to the dying man's condition.
The futility of the characters is
perhaps summed up when the
Zitlow and Hokenson insisted
that the technology needed to take
care of the nuclear waste problem
wasn't yet in existence. Currently
there is a nuclear waste repository
under construction in New Mex-ico.
Its scheduled completion date
is 1985, but the anti-nukes quoted
sources which doubted the corn-by

A display of brilliant color and
texture by six Minnesota weavers
is now open to the public in the
Bethel College art gallery. The
fiber exhibit represents loom con-trolled
weaving, tapestry and
hand-felted pieces by artists who
have all had local or national
recognition for their works.
Works by Faith Anderson and
Lydia Kulesov dominate the ex-hibit
in number.
Anderson's works deal with the
texture of the weave, changing
texture to create or eliminate bulk
for emphasis. Some areas are stuf-fed
to create effect. Yarn dyed in
earth tones are used.
man's wife (all the characters re-main
anonymous) says, in
essence, "I don't love any of you.
I love my husband. And he's dy-ing."
The wife was the most dis-tracting,
often stumbling over her
lines and never speaking with any
intensity. This may be due in part
to the fact that it was opening
night, which might also account
for problems of timing in the ex-change
of lines.
Dialogue lacked dramatic pac-ing,
which served only to make the
audience feel as tired of waiting as
the characters supposedly felt:
Notable exceptions were created
by the man who played the best
friend. The most moving moment
in the play came on a quiet but
energetic monologue in which he
recounted regrets of the past.
The play, which will run until
Jan. 28, might be more interesting
to a class on Death and Dying
than it was to the Theatre in the
Twin Cities class which seemed
glad at the end of the production.
pletion until the mid 1990's.
Vincent and Meyer contended
that there already was the needed
technology. "The problem is not a
technological one," said Vincent,
going on to explain that the real
hinderance was the federal
government's failure to be com-mitted
to the problem.
Anderson is from "The Next
Warp," a St. Paul based fiber
studio and Marketing service for
fiber artists. She is presently
teaching Bethel's January interim
fibers course and is responsible
for the arrangement of the ex-hibit.
Kulesov's works utilize lustrous
colors, creating hues for shadowy
effects. Using a loom controlled
weave, Kulesov creates three-dimensional
wall hangings to il-lustrate
such themes as "Passing
Landscape" and "Forest
Shadow." Different positions
taken by the viewer lend to a total-ly
new perception of Kulesov's
pieces, strengthening each theme.
Other artists exhibiting their
mastery of fiber in the show in-clude
Catherine Ingebretsen, Pat
Boutin Wald, Alexandra
Cervenka, and Sandra Roback.
The fiber exhibit will continue
through January 27. The gallery is
open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Innovations
of body
in Segal art
by Bruce Johnson
George Segal seems to be best
known for being the innovator in
plaster bandage figurative sculp-ture.
His art does, however, reach
down far deeper than the tem-poral
thrill of seeing something
new. His show, which was at the
Walker Art lnsitute until Sunday,
Jan. 7, was well worth attending.
The figure entitled "Woman
combing her hair" is the best ex-ample
of maintaining the dignity
and potential of both material and
illusion (the quality of being
representational) seen in Segal's
work.
Segal operates quite freely in
the construction of his sculptures.
His own developed senisbility has
taken the place of any dogmatic
"systems."
In some pieces, the final pro-duct
has a clean untextured sur-face.
In other works material
usage ranges from flesh with ban-dage
texture to an achievement
whereby the gauze acts as a draw-ing
tool. His approach is consis-tently
responsive and fresh.
What I found most refreshing
were his fragmented pieces where
part of the piece emerges from the
wall. He is careful to give these
works the context that they re-quire,
but not so much informa-tion
is given as to be ambiguous.
These pieces focus directly on the
human body.
Segal uses the elements of his
sculpture masterfully, with fresh
enthusiasms and with a discerning
eye.

Karate instructor teaches meekness
by Ed Scott Palmquist
Bethel's karate instructor,
Terry Warner, has a unique teach-ing
method. "The karate I teach is
a blend of different styles," said
Warner.
Warner, who is an eight-degree
black belt, believes that self-con-trol
is the key to karate. "The
media has made karate brutal,"
said Warner. "I teach my students
that meekness is better than
strength."
Warner hopes that his class of
65 Bethel students and his House
of the Dragons Club of 130
members will search for con-fidence
instead of strength.
"Through karate one doesn't
have to prove his strength," said
Warner.
Warner believes that the techni-ques
that he teaches should be us-ed
only for protection of others
and of oneself.
According to Warner, his
students will be able to use karate
not only as protection but also to
fulfill their Christian duties. "I
believe that someone with a sound
mind and body functions better
than someone who is sick," said
Warner.
"I believe that a Christian
should have a prepared body,"
said Warner. "The Bible is full of
examples of how God prepared
men for certain situations."
The type of karate I teach is
called Chan Shou-Do (way of the
revolving hand)," said Warner.
"It is based on increments of
time. - His students learn that cir-cular
movements are faster than
straight motions.

Warner's style of karate was
formulated in 1968 and is a reflec-tion
of many cultures.
"I learned karate while I was
overseas for the Marine Corps,"
said Warner. While in Okinawa,
Warner became a fourth-degree
black belt, and went undefeated in
22 matches. "I left Japan in 1959
after spending three years there,"
said Warner.
For the next seven years Warner
visited several countries where he
came in contact with many dif-ferent
kinds of karate.
"I moved back to the States in
1965, and became a Christian in
1967," said Warner.
To prove that his blend of ex-periences
is an efficient way to
teach karate, Warner requires his
students to enter tournaments.
"After 300 trophies," said
Warner, "I felt my style of
teaching had proved itself."
Warner has several personal
goals in his teaching. "I hope to
promote the art," said Warner. "I
also want my students to have a
closer unison of mind and body."
Warner says that he will use the
opportunities that teaching karate
presents to tell students about
Jesus Christ.

Bethel stops NW, falls to Augsburg since break
by Carol Madison
The women's basketball team
came six points short of a winning
record in losing a close game to
Augsburg on Monday night.
They had previously overpow-ered
Northwestern in the first
game after the semester break.
Their record now stands at 3-4.
Prior to the break, the Royals
dropped games to U of M, Morris
and St. Catherine's, but then nar-rowly
defeated Dr. Martin Luther
College 46-45. ,
The Royals couldn't match the
high shooting percentage of UMM
as they lost 86-40. UMM shot over
60 per cent and contained Bethel's

Ramm followed with 10.

While all is not coming up roses
for the basketball and hockey
teams this season, the Royals'
wrestling team has leapt to one of
their best starts ever, compiling an
impressive 4-2 record.
Shortly before finals week in
December, the Royals were de-feated
20-23 by Jamestown Col-lege,
a match they should have
easily won.
"We got robbed in that
Jamestown match," said wrestl-ing
coach Dave Klostreich.
Bethel was leading 16-13 when
177-lb. Mark Swanson slammed
his opponent to the mat. Unable
to continue the match, the James-town
wrestler received a six-point
forfeit, negating Swanson's con-siderable
point margin.
Looking forward to the North

St. John's, the Royals picked up
their fourth victory last Tuesday
against Dr. Martin Luther College

Bethel also lost to St. Kate's
75-55 despite the 20 points by
Ramm. The team got off to a slow
start and Bethel wasn't able to get
back into the game.
Shelli Rauma came off the
bench to score 11 points, in-cluding
a free throw which gave
the Royals the lead. in their one
point victory over DML. Beth
Karsjens led the scoring with 12
points.
The team was able to capitalize
on height as they easily defeated
Northwestern 64-32. After being
tied for the first four minutes,
Bethel started to dominate on the
boards and scoring as they built
up a 40-18 half time lead.
"Everyone had a good game of-fensively,"
said Coach Kathy
Nevins, "and Sheila Kroon did a
earlier this season 36-9.
At the St. John's tourney, five
of the eight other MIAC schools
will field teams.
"We'll find out how good we
really are there," said Coach
Klostreich. "Our goal is to place
six or seven people. We've got
some people who could go all the
way if the breaks go right and they
wrestle well."
So far this season the Royals
sport five undefeated wrestlers.
Freshman Wayne Reeves is 5-0 at
142 lbs along with sophomore
Greg Heinsch at 150 lbs and
Richard Hodge, a junior wrestling

The Royals led Augsburg by as
much as 10 points in the first half,
but they weren't able to keep that
lead as they lost in the final
minutes 46-40. Augsburg had
trouble throughout the game with
Bethel's strong defensive zone,

Coach Klostreich. "We're strong
at heavyweight. Lonnie Holmgren
is off to an excellent start, and
Greg Heinsch is also off to a good
start."
"For freshmen coming in, Wid-mar
and Reeves are doing a great
job," said Klostreich. "We have
good kids, a good attitude, good
leadership from our captains, en-thusiasm,
a full team and no men-tal
problems."
Bethel's conference meet is Feb.
17 and will be held at St. John's.
Of the teams in the conference,
Augsburg is considered strong
along with Concordia-Moorhead
and St. Thomas. According to
Coach Klostreich, the Royals
hope to finish among the top four
teams, a "real worthwhile goal."
minutes of the game as Bethel
began to have trouble with passing
and fouls.
The Royals showed good hustle
with a press throughout much of
the garne, but turnovers finally
cost them a hard-fought game.
Beth Karsjens led the scoring with
10 points, and Ramm and Miller
followed with seven and eight
points each.
The team will play away for five
games, including the U of M varsi-ty
reserves, and then returns for a
home game with St. Paul Bible
College on Jan. 18 at 7 p.m.
Three wrestlers unbeaten; team faces MIAC competition
Cagers downed by Concordia, St. Olaf
by Rob Haglund
The Royal basketball team
started their four-game January
home stand on a sour note by
dropping two conference clashes.
The first loss, a heart-breaking
76-74 overtime defeat at the hands
of the Concordia-Moorhead Cob-bers
was especially hard to take.
Bethel seemingly had the game
won several times only to have
Concordia pull back and finally
win the game on a layup at the
buzzer.
St. Olaf proved to be a much
more formidable opponent. The
Oles played a solid game, shooting
well and rebounding strongly, and
controlled the game from the
start. Bruce Govig's 18 first half
points propelled the Oles to a
54-41 halftime lead and they
coasted from there.
Govig finished with a game high
23 points. His teammate Craig
Fitzsimmons added 22 markers in
a balanced St. Olaf attack that
saw five player's hit double figures.
The Royals were led by Dave
Blanchard who netted 22 points,
eighteen from the field.. He was
followed closely by Ray Miller, 21
points, and Scott Wilson who had
18.
Bethel displayed several mental
lapses, especially in their floor
game as evidenced by their 23 tur-novers.
One bright spot for Bethel fans,
however, is watching-the continu-ing
development of big Steve Car-rigan
_
At 6'8" Steve is the tallest
player on the Bethel roster and he
is not easily pushed around under
the boards. In basketball, where
there is height there is potential
and with effort and the right atti-tude,
improvement is imminent.
Scott Wilson is a good example.
Through hard work and deter-mination
Wilson is rapidly becom-ing
one of the more respected big-men
in the MIAC, even though he
is somewhat small for center at
6'7".
Hopefully the Royals (2-8, 0-3
in the conference) will continue to
develop and improve as a team
when they host Hamline here
tomorrow night at 7:30.
A win tomorrow would be
especially nice because the Royals
then play four very tough con-ference
opponents on the road
starting with Augsburg next
Wednesday night.
