The article, telling about the 31 students and Dalton who stayed in a simulated Depression era living situation for 24 days, sparked in-terest all around our nation and others. Three local newspapers wrote stories about the class, but it was the Minneapolis Star's ar-ticle that went out over the AP wire service. "It was a novel kind of teaching experience...total education," Dalton said. The novelty caught the attention of literally millions as the story appeared in over 20 states, approximately 50 newspa-pers, and on at least two television news programs. "I was surprised at the response," said Dalton. He added that the first year he taught the course, interim '77, a wire ser-vice had written a story, but there had been very little reaction. "I think that the response this year is because 1980 is kind of a 50th anniversary for the Depres-sion," Dalton said. Another pos-sibility is the present economic si-tuation.

These include: WCCO, two stations in Illinois, one each in Quebec and Ontario, and a radio network in New York.

LEAlitilM RESOURCE Wail BEVEL COLLEGE Bethel Drive Minnesota 55112 e le a Ilion Vol. 55, No. 23 Bethel College May 2, 1980 by Jay Stuart Russell In light of the lack of progress in the Iranian situation and the failure of the attempted rescue, the Clarion conducted an inter-view with Bethel students to dis-cover their reactions to U.S. poli-cies. Three questions were posed to students: 1) How do you feel about Presi-dent Carter's handling of the Iran situation? 2) What do you propose as a Paul Bjork solution to the crisis? Military in-tervention, economic sanctions, or another alternative? 3) Do you think we will go to war? Lois Malcolm, junior 1) I feel that President Carter acted rather rashly. It worries me that so much power can be vested in one person, especially when the decisions he makes affect so many people. It also worries me that not many of his advisors were con-sulted or even knew about his decision. 2) The solutions? Military inter-vention should definitely be the last alternative. Cutting of trade should be considered before military intervention. Perhaps the burden of responsibility rests on the Shah's shoulders. If he would go back and accept the judgment of his peers, then perhaps interna-tional chaos would be avoided. 3) I should hope not! If we do I'll apply for conscientious objector. Bryan Burton, junior 1) I think the president has done the best he can, although maybe a lot should have been done sooner. I think the president was right in attempting the rescue, although the timing may have been off. 2) Under normal circumstances economic sanctions would be fine, but Iran does not seem affected by them. A military threat by the U.S. may be the only solution left. 3) Yes, I think we'll go to war within the year. Paul Bjork, junior 1) Carter has not been authori-tative enough in his dealings with the Iran situation. Admittedly, it is rather difficult to deal with a situation in which there is no clear line of authority in Iran between Lois Malcolm by Peter Nelson This is the last year of married couples serving as resident direc-tors at Fountain Terrace and Sil-the Ayatollah and the militants, but Carter should have taken har-sher steps to restore and insure justice for the hostages, the Iran-ian people and the Shah. 2) I would hope to avoid mili-tary intervention as much as pos-sible, but certain steps must be taken if large-scale economic food and material sanctions imposed by both the U.S. and other nations prove to be ineffective. I would also suggest that fur-ther inquiry be madeinto the al-leged crimes of the Shah. Prayer is commanded by scripture, so it does not need to be suggested. 3) Yes, I think we'll go to war. I fervently hope not, but I think that the whole situation is worsen-ing and becoming more compli-cated in other economic and poli-tical areas. Tim Lindholm, senior 1) President Carter is in a really difficult position. I think he's handled it as well as he could up to this point. I'm sorry that the re-cent military action failed; it could have worked, and I think it was a good idea, but maybe it could have been implemented earlier. I think it's good if he can avoid military action if he can help it. 2) We've dealt with it politically see page 3 ver Crest. Next year will bring new, yet probably familiar, faces to fill those positions. Marilyn Starr, director of hous-ing, explained that there will be two senior assistant RDs (one male and one female) in each apartment building. They will work under head RDs—two mar-ried couples at Silver Crest and one married couple at Fountain Terrace. Openings for the assistant RD position (AD) were advertised in the Bethel Bulletin, and any junior was eligible to apply. By April 25, twenty assistants RDs were cho-sen. Additional apartment build-ings are all but acquired for next year. Marilyn Starr gave several rea-sons why the new RD program should be a success. First of all, she maintained, "I am confident in student leaders that we've had at Bethel, and we wanted to create an opportunity for more students to get such a leadership exper-ience. The assistant RD position is really like an entry-level leadership role for that type of work." RDs in the past have often been seminary students, and since they do not follow the same schedule as the college, there has been conflict over such things as vacation times. This problem would naturally be eliminated with college students as assistant RDs. Another advantage of having student RDs, according to Marilyn Starr, is that they will naturally be more in touch with what is going on at Bethel, thus being more helpful to those in their building. Carter's Iranian policies inspire doubts ......... Spring 'Spruce Up' attendance down The students found the senior citizens to be very friendly and re-ceptive. "They were so neat," said Linda Whiteley. "They were pleased that we came out." Students did jobs ranging from outside yard work, such as cutting hedges, stacking firewood, raking lawns, cleaning gutters and plant-ing rose bushes, to inside work, which involved washing ceilings, walls and windows, and cleaning floors, stairways and rugs. The group split into smaller parties of four to five students per carload. "Most of the homes we went to were owned by elderly women, many of whom were wi-dows," Whiteley said. "You could see how they really needed people—many were restricted for health reasons." Page 2 editorial Parking lot problems need quick solutions For the student who lives off campus and drives to school each day, arriving at Bethel's campus can be a real headache, not to mention in-convenient. Not because there are joggers along the roadway, nor because the winding road makes it hard to see who is coming around the bend, but rather because they are forced to spend much time looking for convenient parking spaces. Administration officials are quick to answer complaints about the parking problem with the statement that there are sufficient parking spaces, but people are not parking correctly so as to utilize all of the spaces, and students just don't want to walk from the far corners of the lots. We do not see the reason behind inadequate close-up parking for a few hours on campus. We do not deny that there may indeed be sufficient parking for students during normal periods, but yet there are problems during peak hours and special assemblies and activities at Bethel. We hope that the administration and the maintenance department are searching for long-range solutions to those problems. In the meantime we offer some suggestions that would benefit com-muting students, and staff members who are not fortunate enough to have a Special section of the parking lot set aside for them. These sugges-tions may help alleviate the inconvenience of arriving at school every day, both now and in the future: 1) Keep the first three to five rows in the east lot free of overnight parking throughout the year; not merely during the winter months, as is the policy now. Commuters and staff are forced to canvass the lots, row by row, looking for an empty spot. Because front rows are filled during early hours of the morning, it is evident that people living on campus, who infrequently move their cars, are parking there. 2) Set aside spaces for cars whose owners live on campus. These spaces should be in the upper east lot and the back of the lower east lot for students in the townhouses and Arden Hills dorm, and at the rear of the circle lot for Bodien and Edgren students (a policy already establish-ed). 3) In conjunction with the previous suggestion, set up a lottery system that would assign parking spaces to people living on campus. Spaces could then be numbered by stringing a wire across the front of each row and hanging numbers from that wire. The wires would be high enough off the ground to eliminate problems with snowplows and sweepers. This practice has been established and found effective in several local factory parking lots (i.e. Honeywell). 4) Because of the increasing number of small cars, parking lots should be re-lined to make spaces for small and large cars. So as to not discriminate against either small or large car owners, rows could be set up with half of the spaces for small cars and half for large cars, and marked accordingly. There could be a 20% increase in the available parking spaces with this arrangement. 5) Charge to register cars, and register cars every year. A nominal fee of $2 or $3 per car would help offset the cost of improved parking con-ditions. Registering cars every year would help tighten security and pro-vide an accurate record of all cars coming on campus with any regulari-ty. The additional work involved in yearly registration could be handled by one or two students in need of extra money. A registration fee would also discourage use of cars when it isn't absolutely necessary. 6) Establish a section in one of the lots exclusively for staff members. A good location for these spaces would be at the north end of the east lot, since many of the staff offices are in the buildings close to that lot, and faculty and administration parking has already been designated in the circle lot. 7) Encourage bus use strongly. There has not been enough emphasis on using the Bethel buses. A survey should be conducted each semester to determine if the bus schedules are meeting student needs, and if they are found inadequate, they should be adjusted accordingly. Also, establishment of a bus route that would connect with city bus lines would help eliminate cars driven to school because students need to go off campus during the day. 8) Better educate students on the parking system and policies. General assemblies such as chapel are perfect opportunities to conduct such business. This is not to discount efforts already being made with infor-mation distributed through POs. With better understanding among students, coupled with good policing, the parking dilemma could be bet-ter handled. 9) A final suggestion: plan additional parking with every addition on-to Bethel buildings. Although classroom, dorm and office space have increased, parking space has not increased proportionately. by Jay Stuart Russell Last Saturday over 60 Bethel students cleaned and visited the homes of Twin Cities' senior citi-zens in campus ministries' annual "Spruce up a Senior's Spring" program.

"We went to a home which had two older women who couldn't take care of themselves. We felt obligated to stay there rather than go on, be-cause the people at the next home weren't quite as helpless. Their house was very dirty, and we knew if we didn't help them, no one would." Sophomore Crystal Engel par-ticipated in the program for a se-cond time. "My group went to four different homes, and spent about 11/2 hours at each place." "We went to the home of an 83-year-old woman who told us she had lived in the same house since she was five years old. She told us she was born in the house across the street." Engel said that all of the senior citizens served food. Curt Hansen, student m- inistries coordinator, said that the campus ministries office had a list of 75 homes to clean. "We managed to clean all except for about 12-to-15 homes. We had 100 students who signed-up for the program last year, compared to 60 students this year." "If a group of students wants to help clean these extra homes, we have the list in the campus ministries office," he said. the Clarion Vol. 55, No. 23 Bethel College May 2, 1980 The Clarion is published weekly by the students of Bethel Col-lege.

Speech teams end season as best in five-state area by Rhoda Noordmans After traveling thousands of miles to strenuous competition in 20 tournaments, Bethel's speech competitors can look proudly on the year just ended. Bethel students placed high on the na-tional level in both individuals and team competition. Colleen Campbell was Bethel's top speaker in the individual forensics competion. By placing within the top ten percent of her events, poetry and prose, during the regional qualifying tourna-ment at North Dakota State University during March, she earned a spot in national competi-tion. Accompanied by speech coach Rod Broding, she travelled to Col-orado Springs for the contest April 10-12. The tournament consists of three preliminary rounds, after which the top 32 contenders in each divi-sion proceed to quarter-finals. Fifty per cent of those who par-ticipate in quarter-finals go on to the semi-finals, and half of those speakers compete in the finals. Colleen reached the quarter finals in prose before she was eliminated. Team competition in the form of debate featured Marlene Triggs, Teresa Eliason, Mark Publow, Rick Kreutzfeldt, Mike Wiseman, Phil Thompson, and Tony Ander-son. Marlene and Teresa formed a dynamic duet, achieveing many honors during fall competition. When a heavy senior schedule force Marlene to withdraw from the team, Mark Publow became Teresa's new partner. They cap-tured second place in their region at the national competition in Reno, Nevada. The entire team was ranked number 43 in national competi-tion. As the two next-highest ranked teams from the upper five-state area finished 72 and 86, Bethel's debaters can justly claim to be the best college debate team of the Cross Examination Debate Association in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota. Rod Broding is a part-time stu-from page 1 as much as we can, and I think the next step is more economic sanc-tions before military action (es-pecially since this other act proved kind of fruitless). Now that they've reacted to the latest at-tempt, I think military interven-tion would be an extreme step. Jon Fredrickson 3) We probably won't go to war with Iran, but I feel if Russia is forceful on Iran's behalf, we could probably go to war with Russia. I don't see that as being too far off. I think we have a lot of support, and a lot of nations are sympathetic toward us. Jon Fredrickson, junior 1) I feel Carter so far has han-dled it well. In the beginning I was satisfied with the strong stand he took, and just recently with the rescue attempt. I was sorry that it had failed, because I thought the time was perfect for it, with both sides at a standstill and no pro-gress being made. 2) The only solution now would be some sort of military in-tervention. Economic sanctions and political lines have been ex-hausted. Iran can get along for years without worrying too much economically. They're so low economically nothing more could hurt. I think military intervention is the only answer. The real problems is that the U.S. made the wrong response in the first place, in that they should have gone over there the first day it happened. 3) I can't say for sure, but I think we'll probably go to war. Jill Fischer, freshman 1) I think Carter didn't do much in the beginning; he should have started sooner in handling the Iran situation. Now that he did something, I think the action he took was good. It's too bad things didn't work out. If it had turned out right he wouldn't have gotten any praise, so why should he get all the blame. 2) I don't really think there is much of a solution, now that it has gone so long. Nothing that we do now will help. If we go in militarily, it will send us into war, and economic sanctions will not do any good. 3) I think we'll have to decide if we want to go to war over the hostages, or if we want to give them up. I think if we decide to do anything, we'll end up going to war. Sharon Alberg, freshman 1) I think President Carter has Jill Fischer by Patty Sutton "We have new ideas," said Frank Sanza, one of the '80-'81 Campus Coordinators, "but we don't want to reveal them now." "We have a tentative calendar made out for next year," Cindy Stipe, his partner, said. It was a major part of the application that took 25 hours to fill out. Even though they chose to apply as a team, selections were made on an individual basis. They said they plan to fill all open spots on the weekends so students will have an option for something to do. They will leave at least one weekend night per been slow about the whole situa-tion. When the hostages were first taken, we should have gone in there with force to get the hostages out, or taken sanctions right away, instead of waiting so long. Iran now knows that they can kind of control what we do. 2) Economic sanctions will not work, since Russia has decided to help Iran, and military inter-vention will not work either if the Russians aid Iran militarily. We can't really do anything right Mike Nelson now; it's really too late. We should just wait it out. 3) I think there's a great pos-siblity of war. Mike Nelson, sophomore 1) President Carter's handling of the situation hasn't been very good; it stinks. He should have tried to get them out right away because we've been held hostage for six months, and it could easily go another six months or a year. 2) I think the only way to get them out of there is by military in-tervention, because nothing else has worked so far anyway—you can't negotiate with them. If you read the papers, you'll see they just lie through their teeth with every statement they make. They twist everything around to make the U.S. look bad. There's no way you can deal with that except with force. 3) I think we'll be at war within the next two years—it's inevitable. month open for RAs and resi-dences to plan events, however. "It's a big job," said Sanza. "I've put it in God's hands and I'm looking forward to it as a growing and learning experience." "We are getting involved with the CCs now in preparation for next year," said Stipe. They are chairing committees for all-school banquet and meeting with this year's CCs once a week for train-ing sessions. Sanza closed his remarks with, "I'd like to request prayer for Cindy and me—we're going to have to depend more on God than ever before." dent at Luther Northwestern Seminary in St. Paul while teaching full-time at Bethel. Broding enjoys working with the speech program. "One of the highlights of this type of work," he said, "is the close relationship you build with students. We build a strong bond of love and loyalty, and break down much of the barrier between faculty and students." His only regret that many talented people and others who could benefit from participation in the speech program did not take advantage of it this year. He said this is a result of our "healthy, vibrant campus" in which students must choose bet-ween a wide variety of oppor-tunities. He stressed, "Students don't exist for the program: the program exists for the students."

Bethel adding profs; six contracts signed Page 4 SMPers await funds for summer by Patty Sutton The Clarion has interviewed some of the new teachers at Bethel to find out what they think about the college after being here a year. David Baker, assistant profes-sor in Biblical studies: Q: What did you expect before you came to Bethel? A: I've been in a secular envi-ronment for the past 10 years stu-dying. I had hoped that Bethel would reflect a Christian atmos-phere, for example, in the areas of morals and concern for fellow stu-dents. I hoped to be among friends. Q: What was your first impres-sion of Bethel? A: I was most impressed with the concern and interest the fa-culty and administration showed toward me. They were very willing to help new people on the staff. Q: What did you expect before you came to Bethel? A: I expected to have to work hard at teaching, to have some good conversations with students and faculty about spiritual things and to experience a change of pace from the technical, career-orient-ed environment I'm used to, but I didn't know what the change would be. Q: What was your first impres-sion of Bethel? A: I saw that physics is only a small part of Bethel and not as im-portant as at the places I'd been before. Because of this, I felt out-of- touch with most students. Though I was able to have good interaction with people here about spiritual things, I was impressed with the fact that Bethel can't take the place of the local church. Q: How has your impression of Bethel changed? by Tim Wilbee As the semester draws to a close, SMP looks forward to a full summer and another school year. The Student Missionary Project has had a busy year—evidenced by the large number of partici-pants in this summer's program. Final preparations are being made for each project. The biggest concern this year has been finances. With the addi-tional SMPers this year, the goal for monetary needs is $18,000. This would insure participants 30 per cent of the expenses for their A: I've come to appreciate the attitude of students. They aren't chronic gripers, even when they dislike something. I've gained an appreciation of the administra-tion. Before I focused on the pres-sure they applied to the faculty, but now I see that they care about faculty's careers and development compared to other schools. I've also become aware of the depth of spiritual life students can exper-ience here and the many oppor-tunities for them to be involved in discipleship and fellowship. Q: What is one change you would like to see at Bethel? A: I would like to see people digging into scripture more for the answers to difficult problems. I would also like to see students gaining a greater appreciation of the physical sciences, since it is an opportunity they might not have again. Walter Wallace, instructor in business department for fall se-mester: Q: What did you expect before you came to Bethel? A: This was my first teaching experience. I expected students to have all their homework done. I looked forward to sharing my faith and knowledge with them. Q: What was your first impres-sion of Bethel? A: The biggest impression on me was the good relationship be-tween students and faculty. There is a lot of openness between them. I was astonished at the students' method of studying—in the halls or coffee shop where there are lots of people and noise. Q: How did your impressions of Bethel change? A: My impressions of Bethel didn't really change. I still have the same enthusiasm I had when I came about the rewards and prob-lems of teaching. I did find that students didn't finish all their as-signments but also that they didn't try to make it appear that they did. Q: What is one thing you would like to see changed at Bethel? A: I would like to see the library quiet down for more effective stu-dy. mission term. The goal has not yet been reached, but SMP President Dave Eckert feels confident that "the Lord will provide." At least two more fund-raisers will be held. The first is planned for May 10. Dan Huisinga will give a benefit concert in the gym, performing music he has written himself. The second fund-raiser will be Sunday, May 18 when "Masters Touch" will perform at the singspiration. Recent efforts to raise cash needed for the program included an auction which brought in $800.

Eckert voiced his disappoint-ment over the lack of involvement on the part of students. "It seems that students think SMP is an elite society or something," he said. SMP is a student organization seeking to aid other students in mission experience. Everyone has the opportunity to have a part in it, whether through prayer, finan-cial support or actual involve-ment.

Meager puffs sputter from rustic cabin chimneys as two cabinmates (the other two still snug beneath their covers) are sternly set before their wood stoves, ardently striking one match after another. Anticipating warmth, they light cracker boxes, scrap paper, and grocery bags; one feeds more splinters; the other blows with exasperation as the wet wood re-fuses to cooperate and the morn-ing bite stubbornly persists.

With a steaming cup of cof-fee near at hand, new students hurriedly finish up the last few pages of Theodore Roszak's, "Where the Wasteland Ends."

(Sorry about my usual rollerskating an-veying the group, is a bearded gentleman clad in well-worn jeans and a blue bandana headband. He begins cautiously, "What is Ros-zak trying to tell us?" For the next three hours stu-dents, teachers intently echo their reactions, vehemently discuss their stimulations, and struggle with their blossoming concerns and fading ideals. Noon brings a short respite, but only until that afternoon when students begin de-vouring E. J. Wilson's "Human Nature." What is the purpose of this small isolated community on the top of Greensprings Mountain in southern Oregon? What stirs be-neath this restored logging camp resting on the outskirts of the quaint Ashland, Oregon? The Oregon Extension is an academic community of 30 stu-dents and 6 professors and their families devoted to working toge-ther with the high goal of learn-ing; learning by encouraging, ex-horting, confronting, challenging one another to become involved with ideas and questions crucial to everyday living. Over a section of each of the four 4-week segments, the group together reads a multitude of books, thinking through and struggling with each one. Then, • each individual chooses a topic of nouncement!) Saturday will be an exciting day outdoors! Pray for nice weather. Girls, you and your dates should be on the bus and ready to leave NC at 10:30 a.m. with your picnic lunch packed and ready to eat! We're going up to Taylor's Falls, where you'll have your picnic, and don't forget to bring ants—no pic-nic is complete without ants. After lunch, you'll be able to take three rides on the alpine slide at Wild Mt., two hours of canoe-ing, and an excursion boat ride down the scenic St. Croix River, along with other various creative things you can think of to do. The outstanding price for the day is $8 per couple. Tickets will go on sale Monday, May 5, at the CC office and will be on sale through Thursday, the 8th. Also, if you plan to ride the bus, you must sign up by the CC office by Thursday. Don't pass up this chance of a lifetime. It will be a great day! personal stimulation, pursuing it with vigor under the guidance of a specific professor. The second one and one-half weeks of the segment culminates in a written or oral presentation of the researched topic and its relevance to one's life. Finally, after warily attacking books and furiously taking notes, the last week is spent integrating the hard-earned knowledge as students and professors partake in mountain backpack trips, an intrusion of San Francisco and a family Thanksgiving feast. This is the frame of the Oregon Extension Program. Beneath this skeleton lies the dirt-grinding, life changing dynamic of living in a community which cries, breathes, works, sweats and plays together —all in an effort to grow and learn. Learning is not limited to books, but extends into such things as Shakespearian plays, Oregon coast camping trips (not without rain of course), strenuous backpack trips in Yosemite, an ex-hausting, exultant climb to the top of Mt. Jefferson, volleyball games, rappelling in the gorge, five-mile runs through the pine-scented, melodic wilderness. Together the community shares in Sunday night worship, wood-chopping, compost, recycling bot-tles and cans, van rides to town and nauseated stomachs, community meals, exotic vege-tarian dinner parties, talent shows, and Thursday night en-counter groups. Here lies the core life with the bark burner— life at Lincoln Common. The community deems each in-dividual as a priceless component of the group and an invaluable as-set for the world. Not all would fmd solace or belonging within this community. Not all would be met with the intense challenges some have at the Oregon Exten-sion. But those who find its niche, those who believe it and love it, find themselves launched into a new lifestyle of awakened realities and promising potentials. The people of Lincoln Com-mon desire not to stifle or ma-nipulate truth, but to seek it pure-ly, to integrate Christian truth and commitment with all of life's di-mensions. The music department con-tinues its rug concert series on the new Moller organ May 8 and 15, with performances by Cindy Reents and C.H. Smith. Concerts held in FA 430. LRC delay-avoidance; bookblower bites dust by Roger L. Smolik Here I sit, again. Yet something is different; something is strange. Above me the fluorescent light flickers just enough to taunt my concen-tration. To my left sit the noble-looking but dust-caked volumes of "The Oxford English Dictionary," while to my right I'm confronted with the entire set of "Methods in Enzymology." (I wondered how there could be an entire set of books devoted to enzymology.) "Things are different," I thought, "this is the LRC, and it's quiet!" (You know that something is wrong if the LRC is quiet.) "I can't concentrate in here when it's like this!" I thought to myself. I stared at the Oxford unabridged collection. "Too bad," I thought, "You're heavy, fat, neatly stacked—and dusty. Yeah, I know, nobody likes to look up words anymore, they just grab the nearest thesaurus; and what happens? You're out of a job. I understand how you feel-kinda lonely, huh?" Feeling compassionate, I walked over and started blowing off Volume I, A-B. There is a well-worn term for this kind of behavior, and most would call it procrastination. I prefer to think of it as "delay-avoid-ance," thank you. This habitual practice is a persistent bugaboo to most, though it tends to heighten its activity in new and imaginative forms in the spring. For myself, the onslaught of the beautiful spring sun drives me to the LRC, not so much to study as to avoid feeling guilty. I figure that as long as I'm at least in the vicinity of morbid academia my conscience will leave me alone. Thus, I am a bookblower. While the vast majority of you Helios-worshipping plebeians bask outside and practice your delay-avoidance while supressing your guilt, I sit inside and blow dust off "Systematic Theology," or Milton's "Para-dise Lost," or perhaps some American history. The veteran bookblower always knows where to find his dust. Still attending to the Oxford set, I blew off letters C, D, and E with choking satisfaction. "Besides," I rationalized, "I don't have the mandatory spring uni-form of painter's pants and thongs that you really need to blend in around here." (At first I was appalled that I caught myself talking to old books, but I've always appreciated a good listener.) "You can't just wear anything around here, you know. You gotta look the part." The dictionary, though silent, knew what I meant. "Pooph! Pooph! Pooph! I proceeded to puff off the tops of the re-mainder of the alphabet in the set. I walked over to the window. The fluorescent light was still flickering, and the Frisbees were still flying. The people pretended to be enjoying themselves, but I knew that they were miserably guilty at heart. I sat down, thus satisfied. The LRC was still conspicuously calm—not even the "thwap" of a thong in the distance. Forget conscience—let the id rule the spring!

"Self Indulgence," by Jeffrey Weissbach, is on exhibit in the Bethel art gallery as part of the spring 16 senior art students feature their work in three separate art exhibitions. Senioritis blooms as May 25 nears Page 6 by Juan Ramos In 1938 playwright Thornton Wilder wrote "The Merchant of Yonkers," and revised it in 1955, changing the title to "The Match-maker." That play is the last of the 1979-80 season for Bethel's theatre arts department. "The Matchmaker" is one of the few (if any) productions at Bethel that has sold out all of its perfor-mances before opening night, and rightfully so. "The Matchmaker" is the non-musical version of "Hello Dolly." Set in late 19th century New York, it centers around the scheming ef-forts of matchmaker Dolly Levi to marry herself off to Horace Vandergelder, a Yonkers store merchant who intends to propose marriage to Mrs. Malloy, a widowed hatmaker in New York City. The plot is further complicated by the lines of Vandergelder's store employees, Cornelius and Barnaby, who decide to take an unauthorized vacation to New York City while their employer is away and will not return until each of them has kissed a girl. As fate would have it, they all unwittingly converge in Mrs. Mal-loy's Hat Shop and all havoc breaks loose. The mood of the play is unique-ly foreshadowed by the use of pre-show music. Through the musical calliope strains of "After the Ball is Over," the audience is prepared for a merry-go-round ride of comedy, color and predicament. Director Doug Briggs has chosen a cast of many new faces balanced by veterans to the Bethel stage. This combination is refresh-ing and full of surprises. Mark Tanquist portrays Horace Vandergelder with sufficient chauvinistic pomp. His mono-logue regarding his philosophy on women and marriage will no doubt incur the wrath of Christian feminists in the audience. Lori Opsal as Dolly does some marvelous things with her huge eyes. She schemes and connives with a charm and grace that makes her very likeable onstage. The team of Matt Weber and Ran-dy Richardson reminded me of the once-popular comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Richardson's consistently rub-ber face and sappy voice is perfect in contrast to Weber's carefully underplayed straight man. Weber has a knack for letting the comedy of Wilder's lines speak for themselves, -instead of trying to overpower them with a character-ization. He has one line that brings the house down. I was particularly impressed with Karin Anderson as Mrs. Mal-loy. This newcomer to the Bethel stage is welcome indeed. She is a skillful comedienne who I hope will take the opportunity to de-velop her talent. And speaking of comedy, Brook Berry as Rudolph the head-waiter goes for broke in this minor role. Looking like someone from Emerald City in the "Wizard of Oz," Berry assaults the audience's funny bone with his mere pre-sence. His outrageously un-identifiable accents never sound the same twice. Wilder speaks directly to the au-dience through monologues of certain characters. Briggs en-hances these moments by darken-ing the stage and spotlighting the character who speaks directly to the audience while calliope music plays in the background. The ef-fect is one which underscores the "what makes the world go round" philosophy. Technical Director Rick Rees is to be commended for an appro-priate set and superb costumes. The technical quality of Bethel theatre productions has improved immensely under his supervision. There is a clever interplay of col-ors in both the sets and the cos-tumes. The characters seem to come out of the woodwork, as the dominant color of the set matches the dominant color of a character's costume. What ordinarily would have by Hellen E. Gutsche senioritis - (senyor i 'tis) n. a disease found most frequently on high school and college campuses. It generally affects graduating sen-iors but can be found in slight cases among aspiring juniors. The symptoms consist of slovenly stu-dy habits, consistent oversleeping, sunburn only on the back, and frisbee frolic arm. At this time of the school year it seems most students have been af-fected by something or someone. But seniors continue to study. The most demanding part of their time shortly before graduation is the infamous senior seminar. been cumbersome, set changes are smoothed out by a novel revolving set somewhat reminis-cent of an old cyclorama, and a set crew dressed in costumes of the period. The thrust stage of the experimental theatre is framed in a gold rustic ornate frame to give the appearance of a box set. It is interesting to note that Thornton Wilder literally hated box sets because "...the box set de-stroys the belief in the theatre be-cause it localizes what is universal in both place and time." His more well-known plays such as "Our Town" are almost bare sets. Contrary to popular belief, the art department is no different. Although the majority of seniors in art do not write a paper for the seminar class, they are required to have some sort of a display of their artwork which is critiqued by the faculty. This display is almost always done by having a show exhibited in Bethel's art gallery. At the end of each semester senior art majors culminate their seminar exper-ience with others from their class and fill the gallery with their work. "This arrangement is instead of a final exam," said George Robin-son, associate professor of art and It is very possible that Wilder doesn't care whether or not the audience believes "The Match-maker." Whatever the case, Wild-er does poke fun at 19th century plays in "The Matchmaker." It is not necessary to believe any part of "The Matchmaker;" just enjoy it. The majority of the cast is fresh and energetic and shows promise, along with the technical crews, for quality in fu-ture productions. It is optimistic and light which is something we all need to survive the last few de-pressing and heavy weeks of school. instructor in senior seminar. "There is no advising on my part. The student picks, places, and hangs his own work. They should choose works that exhibit things to show their potential as an ar-tist," Robinson said. Robinson sees this experience as a bridge from college to the world. "It is a preparation for being on their own," he said. During the course time he provides counsel-ing, resources, and facilitation, but not much actual instruction. The class meets once a week as a group and Robinson meets once a week with Individuals. In the group sessions, they visit mu-seums, large and small, to see how shows are presented. "This can help the student solve some of his own problems which relate to pre-sentation," said Robinson. Another reason for visiting other galleries is to see the com-petition, to look at both old and See page 7 SHAKEY'S PIZZA PARLOR Get a free pitcher of pop —$3.00 value— with any family-size pizza Bring in this ad or show Bethel ID.

Page 7 by Mari Broman Because measles were thought to be under control, "I would say that this was an epidemic," said Flossie Winquist, director of health services. "And I'm not an alarmist and I don't panic." Ten new cases were reported to Bethel's health service last weekend, bringing the total of documented cases here to 13. In the 17 years she has worked here this is the first disease that has reached what Winquist would call epidemic proportions, "ex-cept colds and the flu." As a precautionary measure, the rec room of Arden Village West was furnished with six beds, "In case we really had to overflow, I thought it was the best strategy," said Winquist. Some students are at home or with friends and the infirmary beds are all occupied, thus new cases would require that the rec from page 6 new work and to learn what is good and bad artwork. Robinson also introduces the students to juried exhibitions where artists are in competition within the show. This semester 16 senior art ma-jors have had or will have their senior art show. The exhibit April 10-23 was by Scott Barnard, George E. Effrem, Grant Johnson, Robert Johnson and Nancy Lewis. April 24-May 9 Jeanne Supplee Colehour, Janna Giddings, Jim Nelson, Carolyn Olson, Jeffrey Weissbach and John Wright will present their work, and May 12-25 Jonathan Craft, Daniel W. Dye and Betty Faircloth, Karlene Kline and Linda Swift will exhibit their work. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Fri-day.

"They are hitting and fielding with more confidence every game, and some of the fielding mistakes are disappearing. Five of our nine losses have been by one run, and it helped to win a close one.

Page 8 sports Baseball squad young, improving by Phil Almeroth The baseball Royals stood at 3-9 at the end of last week as they went 1-3 in two doubleheaders. A rash of errors and failure to score baserunners caused Coach Reynolds' squad to be on the short end of both games with Augsburg and one of two with the then first-place Hamline Pipers. In the first contest against Augsburg the game was close until the bottom of the sixth inning, when the Auggies pushed three runs across the plate to pull away to a 6-1 win. The pitcher for Bethel was Tom Weko. In the nightcap, some early con-trol problems by starting pitcher Dave Fauth and errors by the Bethel defense led to an 11-4 win for Augsburg. This was one of Bethel's better hitting games as they collected 18 hits, leaving 14 men on base. In both games the Royals corn-mitted a combined total of 14 er-rors, many of which led to Auggie runs. Saturday the Royals played two of their best games this season in splitting a doubleheader with the Pipers. The first game was a case of the Royals having one bad inn-ing. This was enough for Hamline which scored all five runs in the top of the fourth and held on to win 5-4. The tough-luck loss went to Jeff Wilson. The offensive attack picked up for Bethel, but many oppor-tunities were wasted as 11 baserunners were stranded. In the second game, some good pitching by Weko, timely hitting, and an improved defense led to a 4-3 Royal win. Weko's win brought his record to 1-3. He gave up all three runs in one inning and held the Pipers in check the rest of the way. The Royals offense was also productive when it needed.

Women's track team places fourth; breaks meet records by Wendy Norberg Bethel's women's track team broke records and qualified four members for regionals in last Saturday's meet at Macalester. All 14 private colleges in Minnesota attended the meet, with Bethel finishing a strong fourth behind St. Thomas, Concordia- Moorhead, and powerful St. Olaf. Sara Barker once again led the team efforts, taking first place in both the shot-put and the discus. Her shot of 38'21/2" set a new meet record. Barker also finished sixth in the javelin behind team-mate Sheila Kroon with fifth place. Deb Sension, also in the field events, finished a strong se-cond place in the high jump, and Carrie Severson was sixth in the shot. In the running events Jennifer Burgess qualified for regions and finished second in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.01. She also placed second in the 400-meter hurdles. Sherri Lindquist finished a con-troversial fourth in the 100-yard dash. She combined efforts with Burgess, Lynn Severson, and Teresa Meredith for a new school record and second place in the 440-yard relay. The same four women later took fourth in the mile relay. Severson was once again tough to beat in the 220-yd. dash with a second place time of 27.27 and Meredith took third and qualified for regions in the quarter mile. Ellie Abbott and Wendy Nor-berg broke the old school record and will go to regions in the three mile run, placing fourth and fifth with times of 18:31 and 18:35 respectively. The Bethel tennis team heads for the conference tournament with confidence gained from last weekend's play. The match against Augsburg ended up 7-2 with Bethel on top. All of the singles players and the number one doubles team won. The seeds were as follows: Steve Brown, Wayne Abbott, Kirk Smith, Greg Kuntz, Pete Nel-son, and Dave Leenhouts. In the other match, Bethel lost to Gustavus 7-2. "We were satis-fied with this score because Gus-tavus is the number one team in the MIAC. We had anticipated to lose 9-0," said Coach Mark Nor-lander. Wayne Abbott played an excel-lent match and won with scores of 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. The other point was earned by the number three dou-ble's team of Dave Leenhouts and Pete Nelson. Greg Kuntz also played a competitive match but Kirk "the generator" Smith holds the best conference record of this team with a 4-3 record. Constant improvement by Wayne "the backboard" Abbott has been a major boost to the team. Throughout the year, the team has pulled together under the lea-dership provided by Steve Brown and Pete Nelson. This leadership and the nature of the players has helped them band together as one unit. The tennis team record now stands at 4-16. "Despite the rec-ord, the season has been extremely enjoyable," Coach Mark Norlan-der commented. "There has been individual growth, emotional and spiritual. Good lasting friendships have been made. We've just plain had a good season. Most of the players realize that God cares very little whether we win or lose, but that He does care about the atti-tudes of our heart." by Ellie Abbott The men's track team produced fine efforts on Tues., April 22, at River Falls, which gave them fifth place out of seventeen teams. Although the temperature was 85 degrees, Bethel managed to place high in several events. The 440-yard relay team of Phil Asay, Barry Jass, Keith Johnson and Paul Otto placed first with a time of 43:47. Asay also finished fourth place in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 14.99. Jason Velgersdyk tied for sec-ond place in the high jump with a jump of 6' 6", Greg Stipe jumped 14' in the pole vault to take fourth place, and Johnson placed second in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles with a time of 56.58 sec-onds. On Saturday, April 26, Bethel hosted twelve teams at its four-teenth annual Bethel Relays. Al-though team scores were not kept, Coach Leighton Betz said Bethel did well. Brent Friesen captured a new school record in the 10,000 - meter run with a time of 33:31.08. Ross Allen was close behind Friesen and timed at 33:52.71. Paul Otto established a new school record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.94, which took first place. He also placed first in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.88, just .01 seconds off his best time. Second place in the 800-meter run was taken by Bryan Galloway. He also got a personal best in the 800 with a time of 1:59.04. Don Hauser placed sixth in the 800 me-ter run for Bethel and Coach Betz said John Burton ran very well, taking 4.5 seconds off his best time. Greg Stipe established a school record in the hammer throw and also got a personal best in the high jump (6'). The mile relay team, consisting of Galloway, Otto, Paul Rynders, and Hauser, got their best time of the season at 3:29.38. Coach Betz was pleased with his track men and said, "I was happy with the team. It was a good set of performances for a cold day."

Three local newspapers wrote stories about the class, but it was the Minneapolis Star's ar-ticle that went out over the AP wire service. "It was a novel kind of teaching experience...total education," Dalton said. The novelty caught the attention of literally millions as the story appeared in over 20 states, approximately 50 newspa-pers, and on at least two television news programs. "I was surprised at the response," said Dalton. He added that the first year he taught the course, interim '77, a wire ser-vice had written a story, but there had been very little reaction. "I think that the response this year is because 1980 is kind of a 50th anniversary for the Depres-sion," Dalton said. Another pos-sibility is the present economic si-tuation.

LEAlitilM RESOURCE Wail BEVEL COLLEGE Bethel Drive Minnesota 55112 e le a Ilion Vol. 55, No. 23 Bethel College May 2, 1980 by Jay Stuart Russell In light of the lack of progress in the Iranian situation and the failure of the attempted rescue, the Clarion conducted an inter-view with Bethel students to dis-cover their reactions to U.S. poli-cies. Three questions were posed to students: 1) How do you feel about Presi-dent Carter's handling of the Iran situation? 2) What do you propose as a Paul Bjork solution to the crisis? Military in-tervention, economic sanctions, or another alternative? 3) Do you think we will go to war? Lois Malcolm, junior 1) I feel that President Carter acted rather rashly. It worries me that so much power can be vested in one person, especially when the decisions he makes affect so many people. It also worries me that not many of his advisors were con-sulted or even knew about his decision. 2) The solutions? Military inter-vention should definitely be the last alternative. Cutting of trade should be considered before military intervention. Perhaps the burden of responsibility rests on the Shah's shoulders. If he would go back and accept the judgment of his peers, then perhaps interna-tional chaos would be avoided. 3) I should hope not! If we do I'll apply for conscientious objector. Bryan Burton, junior 1) I think the president has done the best he can, although maybe a lot should have been done sooner. I think the president was right in attempting the rescue, although the timing may have been off. 2) Under normal circumstances economic sanctions would be fine, but Iran does not seem affected by them. A military threat by the U.S. may be the only solution left. 3) Yes, I think we'll go to war within the year. Paul Bjork, junior 1) Carter has not been authori-tative enough in his dealings with the Iran situation. Admittedly, it is rather difficult to deal with a situation in which there is no clear line of authority in Iran between Lois Malcolm by Peter Nelson This is the last year of married couples serving as resident direc-tors at Fountain Terrace and Sil-the Ayatollah and the militants, but Carter should have taken har-sher steps to restore and insure justice for the hostages, the Iran-ian people and the Shah. 2) I would hope to avoid mili-tary intervention as much as pos-sible, but certain steps must be taken if large-scale economic food and material sanctions imposed by both the U.S. and other nations prove to be ineffective. I would also suggest that fur-ther inquiry be madeinto the al-leged crimes of the Shah. Prayer is commanded by scripture, so it does not need to be suggested. 3) Yes, I think we'll go to war. I fervently hope not, but I think that the whole situation is worsen-ing and becoming more compli-cated in other economic and poli-tical areas. Tim Lindholm, senior 1) President Carter is in a really difficult position. I think he's handled it as well as he could up to this point. I'm sorry that the re-cent military action failed; it could have worked, and I think it was a good idea, but maybe it could have been implemented earlier. I think it's good if he can avoid military action if he can help it. 2) We've dealt with it politically see page 3 ver Crest. Next year will bring new, yet probably familiar, faces to fill those positions. Marilyn Starr, director of hous-ing, explained that there will be two senior assistant RDs (one male and one female) in each apartment building. They will work under head RDs—two mar-ried couples at Silver Crest and one married couple at Fountain Terrace. Openings for the assistant RD position (AD) were advertised in the Bethel Bulletin, and any junior was eligible to apply. By April 25, twenty assistants RDs were cho-sen. Additional apartment build-ings are all but acquired for next year. Marilyn Starr gave several rea-sons why the new RD program should be a success. First of all, she maintained, "I am confident in student leaders that we've had at Bethel, and we wanted to create an opportunity for more students to get such a leadership exper-ience. The assistant RD position is really like an entry-level leadership role for that type of work." RDs in the past have often been seminary students, and since they do not follow the same schedule as the college, there has been conflict over such things as vacation times. This problem would naturally be eliminated with college students as assistant RDs. Another advantage of having student RDs, according to Marilyn Starr, is that they will naturally be more in touch with what is going on at Bethel, thus being more helpful to those in their building. Carter's Iranian policies inspire doubts ......... Spring 'Spruce Up' attendance down The students found the senior citizens to be very friendly and re-ceptive. "They were so neat," said Linda Whiteley. "They were pleased that we came out." Students did jobs ranging from outside yard work, such as cutting hedges, stacking firewood, raking lawns, cleaning gutters and plant-ing rose bushes, to inside work, which involved washing ceilings, walls and windows, and cleaning floors, stairways and rugs. The group split into smaller parties of four to five students per carload. "Most of the homes we went to were owned by elderly women, many of whom were wi-dows," Whiteley said. "You could see how they really needed people—many were restricted for health reasons." Page 2 editorial Parking lot problems need quick solutions For the student who lives off campus and drives to school each day, arriving at Bethel's campus can be a real headache, not to mention in-convenient. Not because there are joggers along the roadway, nor because the winding road makes it hard to see who is coming around the bend, but rather because they are forced to spend much time looking for convenient parking spaces. Administration officials are quick to answer complaints about the parking problem with the statement that there are sufficient parking spaces, but people are not parking correctly so as to utilize all of the spaces, and students just don't want to walk from the far corners of the lots. We do not see the reason behind inadequate close-up parking for a few hours on campus. We do not deny that there may indeed be sufficient parking for students during normal periods, but yet there are problems during peak hours and special assemblies and activities at Bethel. We hope that the administration and the maintenance department are searching for long-range solutions to those problems. In the meantime we offer some suggestions that would benefit com-muting students, and staff members who are not fortunate enough to have a Special section of the parking lot set aside for them. These sugges-tions may help alleviate the inconvenience of arriving at school every day, both now and in the future: 1) Keep the first three to five rows in the east lot free of overnight parking throughout the year; not merely during the winter months, as is the policy now. Commuters and staff are forced to canvass the lots, row by row, looking for an empty spot. Because front rows are filled during early hours of the morning, it is evident that people living on campus, who infrequently move their cars, are parking there. 2) Set aside spaces for cars whose owners live on campus. These spaces should be in the upper east lot and the back of the lower east lot for students in the townhouses and Arden Hills dorm, and at the rear of the circle lot for Bodien and Edgren students (a policy already establish-ed). 3) In conjunction with the previous suggestion, set up a lottery system that would assign parking spaces to people living on campus. Spaces could then be numbered by stringing a wire across the front of each row and hanging numbers from that wire. The wires would be high enough off the ground to eliminate problems with snowplows and sweepers. This practice has been established and found effective in several local factory parking lots (i.e. Honeywell). 4) Because of the increasing number of small cars, parking lots should be re-lined to make spaces for small and large cars. So as to not discriminate against either small or large car owners, rows could be set up with half of the spaces for small cars and half for large cars, and marked accordingly. There could be a 20% increase in the available parking spaces with this arrangement. 5) Charge to register cars, and register cars every year. A nominal fee of $2 or $3 per car would help offset the cost of improved parking con-ditions. Registering cars every year would help tighten security and pro-vide an accurate record of all cars coming on campus with any regulari-ty. The additional work involved in yearly registration could be handled by one or two students in need of extra money. A registration fee would also discourage use of cars when it isn't absolutely necessary. 6) Establish a section in one of the lots exclusively for staff members. A good location for these spaces would be at the north end of the east lot, since many of the staff offices are in the buildings close to that lot, and faculty and administration parking has already been designated in the circle lot. 7) Encourage bus use strongly. There has not been enough emphasis on using the Bethel buses. A survey should be conducted each semester to determine if the bus schedules are meeting student needs, and if they are found inadequate, they should be adjusted accordingly. Also, establishment of a bus route that would connect with city bus lines would help eliminate cars driven to school because students need to go off campus during the day. 8) Better educate students on the parking system and policies. General assemblies such as chapel are perfect opportunities to conduct such business. This is not to discount efforts already being made with infor-mation distributed through POs. With better understanding among students, coupled with good policing, the parking dilemma could be bet-ter handled. 9) A final suggestion: plan additional parking with every addition on-to Bethel buildings. Although classroom, dorm and office space have increased, parking space has not increased proportionately. by Jay Stuart Russell Last Saturday over 60 Bethel students cleaned and visited the homes of Twin Cities' senior citi-zens in campus ministries' annual "Spruce up a Senior's Spring" program.

"We went to a home which had two older women who couldn't take care of themselves. We felt obligated to stay there rather than go on, be-cause the people at the next home weren't quite as helpless. Their house was very dirty, and we knew if we didn't help them, no one would." Sophomore Crystal Engel par-ticipated in the program for a se-cond time. "My group went to four different homes, and spent about 11/2 hours at each place." "We went to the home of an 83-year-old woman who told us she had lived in the same house since she was five years old. She told us she was born in the house across the street." Engel said that all of the senior citizens served food. Curt Hansen, student m- inistries coordinator, said that the campus ministries office had a list of 75 homes to clean. "We managed to clean all except for about 12-to-15 homes. We had 100 students who signed-up for the program last year, compared to 60 students this year." "If a group of students wants to help clean these extra homes, we have the list in the campus ministries office," he said. the Clarion Vol. 55, No. 23 Bethel College May 2, 1980 The Clarion is published weekly by the students of Bethel Col-lege.

Speech teams end season as best in five-state area by Rhoda Noordmans After traveling thousands of miles to strenuous competition in 20 tournaments, Bethel's speech competitors can look proudly on the year just ended. Bethel students placed high on the na-tional level in both individuals and team competition. Colleen Campbell was Bethel's top speaker in the individual forensics competion. By placing within the top ten percent of her events, poetry and prose, during the regional qualifying tourna-ment at North Dakota State University during March, she earned a spot in national competi-tion. Accompanied by speech coach Rod Broding, she travelled to Col-orado Springs for the contest April 10-12. The tournament consists of three preliminary rounds, after which the top 32 contenders in each divi-sion proceed to quarter-finals. Fifty per cent of those who par-ticipate in quarter-finals go on to the semi-finals, and half of those speakers compete in the finals. Colleen reached the quarter finals in prose before she was eliminated. Team competition in the form of debate featured Marlene Triggs, Teresa Eliason, Mark Publow, Rick Kreutzfeldt, Mike Wiseman, Phil Thompson, and Tony Ander-son. Marlene and Teresa formed a dynamic duet, achieveing many honors during fall competition. When a heavy senior schedule force Marlene to withdraw from the team, Mark Publow became Teresa's new partner. They cap-tured second place in their region at the national competition in Reno, Nevada. The entire team was ranked number 43 in national competi-tion. As the two next-highest ranked teams from the upper five-state area finished 72 and 86, Bethel's debaters can justly claim to be the best college debate team of the Cross Examination Debate Association in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota. Rod Broding is a part-time stu-from page 1 as much as we can, and I think the next step is more economic sanc-tions before military action (es-pecially since this other act proved kind of fruitless). Now that they've reacted to the latest at-tempt, I think military interven-tion would be an extreme step. Jon Fredrickson 3) We probably won't go to war with Iran, but I feel if Russia is forceful on Iran's behalf, we could probably go to war with Russia. I don't see that as being too far off. I think we have a lot of support, and a lot of nations are sympathetic toward us. Jon Fredrickson, junior 1) I feel Carter so far has han-dled it well. In the beginning I was satisfied with the strong stand he took, and just recently with the rescue attempt. I was sorry that it had failed, because I thought the time was perfect for it, with both sides at a standstill and no pro-gress being made. 2) The only solution now would be some sort of military in-tervention. Economic sanctions and political lines have been ex-hausted. Iran can get along for years without worrying too much economically. They're so low economically nothing more could hurt. I think military intervention is the only answer. The real problems is that the U.S. made the wrong response in the first place, in that they should have gone over there the first day it happened. 3) I can't say for sure, but I think we'll probably go to war. Jill Fischer, freshman 1) I think Carter didn't do much in the beginning; he should have started sooner in handling the Iran situation. Now that he did something, I think the action he took was good. It's too bad things didn't work out. If it had turned out right he wouldn't have gotten any praise, so why should he get all the blame. 2) I don't really think there is much of a solution, now that it has gone so long. Nothing that we do now will help. If we go in militarily, it will send us into war, and economic sanctions will not do any good. 3) I think we'll have to decide if we want to go to war over the hostages, or if we want to give them up. I think if we decide to do anything, we'll end up going to war. Sharon Alberg, freshman 1) I think President Carter has Jill Fischer by Patty Sutton "We have new ideas," said Frank Sanza, one of the '80-'81 Campus Coordinators, "but we don't want to reveal them now." "We have a tentative calendar made out for next year," Cindy Stipe, his partner, said. It was a major part of the application that took 25 hours to fill out. Even though they chose to apply as a team, selections were made on an individual basis. They said they plan to fill all open spots on the weekends so students will have an option for something to do. They will leave at least one weekend night per been slow about the whole situa-tion. When the hostages were first taken, we should have gone in there with force to get the hostages out, or taken sanctions right away, instead of waiting so long. Iran now knows that they can kind of control what we do. 2) Economic sanctions will not work, since Russia has decided to help Iran, and military inter-vention will not work either if the Russians aid Iran militarily. We can't really do anything right Mike Nelson now; it's really too late. We should just wait it out. 3) I think there's a great pos-siblity of war. Mike Nelson, sophomore 1) President Carter's handling of the situation hasn't been very good; it stinks. He should have tried to get them out right away because we've been held hostage for six months, and it could easily go another six months or a year. 2) I think the only way to get them out of there is by military in-tervention, because nothing else has worked so far anyway—you can't negotiate with them. If you read the papers, you'll see they just lie through their teeth with every statement they make. They twist everything around to make the U.S. look bad. There's no way you can deal with that except with force. 3) I think we'll be at war within the next two years—it's inevitable. month open for RAs and resi-dences to plan events, however. "It's a big job," said Sanza. "I've put it in God's hands and I'm looking forward to it as a growing and learning experience." "We are getting involved with the CCs now in preparation for next year," said Stipe. They are chairing committees for all-school banquet and meeting with this year's CCs once a week for train-ing sessions. Sanza closed his remarks with, "I'd like to request prayer for Cindy and me—we're going to have to depend more on God than ever before." dent at Luther Northwestern Seminary in St. Paul while teaching full-time at Bethel. Broding enjoys working with the speech program. "One of the highlights of this type of work," he said, "is the close relationship you build with students. We build a strong bond of love and loyalty, and break down much of the barrier between faculty and students." His only regret that many talented people and others who could benefit from participation in the speech program did not take advantage of it this year. He said this is a result of our "healthy, vibrant campus" in which students must choose bet-ween a wide variety of oppor-tunities. He stressed, "Students don't exist for the program: the program exists for the students."

Bethel adding profs; six contracts signed Page 4 SMPers await funds for summer by Patty Sutton The Clarion has interviewed some of the new teachers at Bethel to find out what they think about the college after being here a year. David Baker, assistant profes-sor in Biblical studies: Q: What did you expect before you came to Bethel? A: I've been in a secular envi-ronment for the past 10 years stu-dying. I had hoped that Bethel would reflect a Christian atmos-phere, for example, in the areas of morals and concern for fellow stu-dents. I hoped to be among friends. Q: What was your first impres-sion of Bethel? A: I was most impressed with the concern and interest the fa-culty and administration showed toward me. They were very willing to help new people on the staff. Q: What did you expect before you came to Bethel? A: I expected to have to work hard at teaching, to have some good conversations with students and faculty about spiritual things and to experience a change of pace from the technical, career-orient-ed environment I'm used to, but I didn't know what the change would be. Q: What was your first impres-sion of Bethel? A: I saw that physics is only a small part of Bethel and not as im-portant as at the places I'd been before. Because of this, I felt out-of- touch with most students. Though I was able to have good interaction with people here about spiritual things, I was impressed with the fact that Bethel can't take the place of the local church. Q: How has your impression of Bethel changed? by Tim Wilbee As the semester draws to a close, SMP looks forward to a full summer and another school year. The Student Missionary Project has had a busy year—evidenced by the large number of partici-pants in this summer's program. Final preparations are being made for each project. The biggest concern this year has been finances. With the addi-tional SMPers this year, the goal for monetary needs is $18,000. This would insure participants 30 per cent of the expenses for their A: I've come to appreciate the attitude of students. They aren't chronic gripers, even when they dislike something. I've gained an appreciation of the administra-tion. Before I focused on the pres-sure they applied to the faculty, but now I see that they care about faculty's careers and development compared to other schools. I've also become aware of the depth of spiritual life students can exper-ience here and the many oppor-tunities for them to be involved in discipleship and fellowship. Q: What is one change you would like to see at Bethel? A: I would like to see people digging into scripture more for the answers to difficult problems. I would also like to see students gaining a greater appreciation of the physical sciences, since it is an opportunity they might not have again. Walter Wallace, instructor in business department for fall se-mester: Q: What did you expect before you came to Bethel? A: This was my first teaching experience. I expected students to have all their homework done. I looked forward to sharing my faith and knowledge with them. Q: What was your first impres-sion of Bethel? A: The biggest impression on me was the good relationship be-tween students and faculty. There is a lot of openness between them. I was astonished at the students' method of studying—in the halls or coffee shop where there are lots of people and noise. Q: How did your impressions of Bethel change? A: My impressions of Bethel didn't really change. I still have the same enthusiasm I had when I came about the rewards and prob-lems of teaching. I did find that students didn't finish all their as-signments but also that they didn't try to make it appear that they did. Q: What is one thing you would like to see changed at Bethel? A: I would like to see the library quiet down for more effective stu-dy. mission term. The goal has not yet been reached, but SMP President Dave Eckert feels confident that "the Lord will provide." At least two more fund-raisers will be held. The first is planned for May 10. Dan Huisinga will give a benefit concert in the gym, performing music he has written himself. The second fund-raiser will be Sunday, May 18 when "Masters Touch" will perform at the singspiration. Recent efforts to raise cash needed for the program included an auction which brought in $800.

Eckert voiced his disappoint-ment over the lack of involvement on the part of students. "It seems that students think SMP is an elite society or something," he said. SMP is a student organization seeking to aid other students in mission experience. Everyone has the opportunity to have a part in it, whether through prayer, finan-cial support or actual involve-ment.

Meager puffs sputter from rustic cabin chimneys as two cabinmates (the other two still snug beneath their covers) are sternly set before their wood stoves, ardently striking one match after another. Anticipating warmth, they light cracker boxes, scrap paper, and grocery bags; one feeds more splinters; the other blows with exasperation as the wet wood re-fuses to cooperate and the morn-ing bite stubbornly persists. Gradually, the smoldering wood catches blaze and the heat oscillates to the center of the living room. With a steaming cup of cof-fee near at hand, new students hurriedly finish up the last few pages of Theodore Roszak's, "Where the Wasteland Ends." As 9 a.m.-discussion approach-es, students pensively saunter into the library, clumping themselves around the circle of tables; one (who evaded the cold until the last minute) still lacing her boots; ano-ther masticating the last of his breakfast, all in expectant antici-pation as they muddle over Ros-zak's provocations.

Over a section of each of the four 4-week segments, the group together reads a multitude of books, thinking through and struggling with each one. Then, • each individual chooses a topic of nouncement!) Saturday will be an exciting day outdoors! Pray for nice weather. Girls, you and your dates should be on the bus and ready to leave NC at 10:30 a.m. with your picnic lunch packed and ready to eat! We're going up to Taylor's Falls, where you'll have your picnic, and don't forget to bring ants—no pic-nic is complete without ants. After lunch, you'll be able to take three rides on the alpine slide at Wild Mt., two hours of canoe-ing, and an excursion boat ride down the scenic St. Croix River, along with other various creative things you can think of to do. The outstanding price for the day is $8 per couple. Tickets will go on sale Monday, May 5, at the CC office and will be on sale through Thursday, the 8th. Also, if you plan to ride the bus, you must sign up by the CC office by Thursday. Don't pass up this chance of a lifetime. It will be a great day! personal stimulation, pursuing it with vigor under the guidance of a specific professor. The second one and one-half weeks of the segment culminates in a written or oral presentation of the researched topic and its relevance to one's life. Finally, after warily attacking books and furiously taking notes, the last week is spent integrating the hard-earned knowledge as students and professors partake in mountain backpack trips, an intrusion of San Francisco and a family Thanksgiving feast. This is the frame of the Oregon Extension Program. Beneath this skeleton lies the dirt-grinding, life changing dynamic of living in a community which cries, breathes, works, sweats and plays together —all in an effort to grow and learn. Learning is not limited to books, but extends into such things as Shakespearian plays, Oregon coast camping trips (not without rain of course), strenuous backpack trips in Yosemite, an ex-hausting, exultant climb to the top of Mt. Jefferson, volleyball games, rappelling in the gorge, five-mile runs through the pine-scented, melodic wilderness. Together the community shares in Sunday night worship, wood-chopping, compost, recycling bot-tles and cans, van rides to town and nauseated stomachs, community meals, exotic vege-tarian dinner parties, talent shows, and Thursday night en-counter groups. Here lies the core life with the bark burner— life at Lincoln Common. The community deems each in-dividual as a priceless component of the group and an invaluable as-set for the world. Not all would fmd solace or belonging within this community. Not all would be met with the intense challenges some have at the Oregon Exten-sion. But those who find its niche, those who believe it and love it, find themselves launched into a new lifestyle of awakened realities and promising potentials. The people of Lincoln Com-mon desire not to stifle or ma-nipulate truth, but to seek it pure-ly, to integrate Christian truth and commitment with all of life's di-mensions.

LRC delay-avoidance; bookblower bites dust by Roger L. Smolik Here I sit, again. Yet something is different; something is strange. Above me the fluorescent light flickers just enough to taunt my concen-tration. To my left sit the noble-looking but dust-caked volumes of "The Oxford English Dictionary," while to my right I'm confronted with the entire set of "Methods in Enzymology." (I wondered how there could be an entire set of books devoted to enzymology.) "Things are different," I thought, "this is the LRC, and it's quiet!" (You know that something is wrong if the LRC is quiet.) "I can't concentrate in here when it's like this!" I thought to myself. I stared at the Oxford unabridged collection. "Too bad," I thought, "You're heavy, fat, neatly stacked—and dusty. Yeah, I know, nobody likes to look up words anymore, they just grab the nearest thesaurus; and what happens? You're out of a job. I understand how you feel-kinda lonely, huh?" Feeling compassionate, I walked over and started blowing off Volume I, A-B. There is a well-worn term for this kind of behavior, and most would call it procrastination. I prefer to think of it as "delay-avoid-ance," thank you. This habitual practice is a persistent bugaboo to most, though it tends to heighten its activity in new and imaginative forms in the spring. For myself, the onslaught of the beautiful spring sun drives me to the LRC, not so much to study as to avoid feeling guilty. I figure that as long as I'm at least in the vicinity of morbid academia my conscience will leave me alone. Thus, I am a bookblower. While the vast majority of you Helios-worshipping plebeians bask outside and practice your delay-avoidance while supressing your guilt, I sit inside and blow dust off "Systematic Theology," or Milton's "Para-dise Lost," or perhaps some American history. The veteran bookblower always knows where to find his dust. Still attending to the Oxford set, I blew off letters C, D, and E with choking satisfaction. "Besides," I rationalized, "I don't have the mandatory spring uni-form of painter's pants and thongs that you really need to blend in around here." (At first I was appalled that I caught myself talking to old books, but I've always appreciated a good listener.) "You can't just wear anything around here, you know. You gotta look the part." The dictionary, though silent, knew what I meant. "Pooph! Pooph! Pooph! I proceeded to puff off the tops of the re-mainder of the alphabet in the set. I walked over to the window. The fluorescent light was still flickering, and the Frisbees were still flying. The people pretended to be enjoying themselves, but I knew that they were miserably guilty at heart. I sat down, thus satisfied. The LRC was still conspicuously calm—not even the "thwap" of a thong in the distance. Forget conscience—let the id rule the spring!

"Self Indulgence," by Jeffrey Weissbach, is on exhibit in the Bethel art gallery as part of the spring 16 senior art students feature their work in three separate art exhibitions. Senioritis blooms as May 25 nears Page 6 by Juan Ramos In 1938 playwright Thornton Wilder wrote "The Merchant of Yonkers," and revised it in 1955, changing the title to "The Match-maker." That play is the last of the 1979-80 season for Bethel's theatre arts department. "The Matchmaker" is one of the few (if any) productions at Bethel that has sold out all of its perfor-mances before opening night, and rightfully so. "The Matchmaker" is the non-musical version of "Hello Dolly." Set in late 19th century New York, it centers around the scheming ef-forts of matchmaker Dolly Levi to marry herself off to Horace Vandergelder, a Yonkers store merchant who intends to propose marriage to Mrs. Malloy, a widowed hatmaker in New York City. The plot is further complicated by the lines of Vandergelder's store employees, Cornelius and Barnaby, who decide to take an unauthorized vacation to New York City while their employer is away and will not return until each of them has kissed a girl. As fate would have it, they all unwittingly converge in Mrs. Mal-loy's Hat Shop and all havoc breaks loose. The mood of the play is unique-ly foreshadowed by the use of pre-show music. Through the musical calliope strains of "After the Ball is Over," the audience is prepared for a merry-go-round ride of comedy, color and predicament. Director Doug Briggs has chosen a cast of many new faces balanced by veterans to the Bethel stage. This combination is refresh-ing and full of surprises. Mark Tanquist portrays Horace Vandergelder with sufficient chauvinistic pomp. His mono-logue regarding his philosophy on women and marriage will no doubt incur the wrath of Christian feminists in the audience. Lori Opsal as Dolly does some marvelous things with her huge eyes. She schemes and connives with a charm and grace that makes her very likeable onstage. The team of Matt Weber and Ran-dy Richardson reminded me of the once-popular comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Richardson's consistently rub-ber face and sappy voice is perfect in contrast to Weber's carefully underplayed straight man. Weber has a knack for letting the comedy of Wilder's lines speak for themselves, -instead of trying to overpower them with a character-ization. He has one line that brings the house down. I was particularly impressed with Karin Anderson as Mrs. Mal-loy. This newcomer to the Bethel stage is welcome indeed. She is a skillful comedienne who I hope will take the opportunity to de-velop her talent. And speaking of comedy, Brook Berry as Rudolph the head-waiter goes for broke in this minor role. Looking like someone from Emerald City in the "Wizard of Oz," Berry assaults the audience's funny bone with his mere pre-sence. His outrageously un-identifiable accents never sound the same twice. Wilder speaks directly to the au-dience through monologues of certain characters. Briggs en-hances these moments by darken-ing the stage and spotlighting the character who speaks directly to the audience while calliope music plays in the background. The ef-fect is one which underscores the "what makes the world go round" philosophy. Technical Director Rick Rees is to be commended for an appro-priate set and superb costumes. The technical quality of Bethel theatre productions has improved immensely under his supervision. There is a clever interplay of col-ors in both the sets and the cos-tumes. The characters seem to come out of the woodwork, as the dominant color of the set matches the dominant color of a character's costume. What ordinarily would have by Hellen E. Gutsche senioritis - (senyor i 'tis) n. a disease found most frequently on high school and college campuses. It generally affects graduating sen-iors but can be found in slight cases among aspiring juniors. The symptoms consist of slovenly stu-dy habits, consistent oversleeping, sunburn only on the back, and frisbee frolic arm. At this time of the school year it seems most students have been af-fected by something or someone. But seniors continue to study. The most demanding part of their time shortly before graduation is the infamous senior seminar. been cumbersome, set changes are smoothed out by a novel revolving set somewhat reminis-cent of an old cyclorama, and a set crew dressed in costumes of the period. The thrust stage of the experimental theatre is framed in a gold rustic ornate frame to give the appearance of a box set. It is interesting to note that Thornton Wilder literally hated box sets because "...the box set de-stroys the belief in the theatre be-cause it localizes what is universal in both place and time." His more well-known plays such as "Our Town" are almost bare sets. Contrary to popular belief, the art department is no different. Although the majority of seniors in art do not write a paper for the seminar class, they are required to have some sort of a display of their artwork which is critiqued by the faculty. This display is almost always done by having a show exhibited in Bethel's art gallery. At the end of each semester senior art majors culminate their seminar exper-ience with others from their class and fill the gallery with their work. "This arrangement is instead of a final exam," said George Robin-son, associate professor of art and It is very possible that Wilder doesn't care whether or not the audience believes "The Match-maker." Whatever the case, Wild-er does poke fun at 19th century plays in "The Matchmaker." It is not necessary to believe any part of "The Matchmaker;" just enjoy it. The majority of the cast is fresh and energetic and shows promise, along with the technical crews, for quality in fu-ture productions. It is optimistic and light which is something we all need to survive the last few de-pressing and heavy weeks of school. instructor in senior seminar. "There is no advising on my part. The student picks, places, and hangs his own work. They should choose works that exhibit things to show their potential as an ar-tist," Robinson said. Robinson sees this experience as a bridge from college to the world. "It is a preparation for being on their own," he said. During the course time he provides counsel-ing, resources, and facilitation, but not much actual instruction. The class meets once a week as a group and Robinson meets once a week with Individuals. In the group sessions, they visit mu-seums, large and small, to see how shows are presented. "This can help the student solve some of his own problems which relate to pre-sentation," said Robinson.

Page 7 by Mari Broman Because measles were thought to be under control, "I would say that this was an epidemic," said Flossie Winquist, director of health services. "And I'm not an alarmist and I don't panic." Ten new cases were reported to Bethel's health service last weekend, bringing the total of documented cases here to 13. In the 17 years she has worked here this is the first disease that has reached what Winquist would call epidemic proportions, "ex-cept colds and the flu." As a precautionary measure, the rec room of Arden Village West was furnished with six beds, "In case we really had to overflow, I thought it was the best strategy," said Winquist. Some students are at home or with friends and the infirmary beds are all occupied, thus new cases would require that the rec from page 6 new work and to learn what is good and bad artwork. Robinson also introduces the students to juried exhibitions where artists are in competition within the show. This semester 16 senior art ma-jors have had or will have their senior art show.

"They are hitting and fielding with more confidence every game, and some of the fielding mistakes are disappearing. Five of our nine losses have been by one run, and it helped to win a close one.

Page 8 sports Baseball squad young, improving by Phil Almeroth The baseball Royals stood at 3-9 at the end of last week as they went 1-3 in two doubleheaders. A rash of errors and failure to score baserunners caused Coach Reynolds' squad to be on the short end of both games with Augsburg and one of two with the then first-place Hamline Pipers. In the first contest against Augsburg the game was close until the bottom of the sixth inning, when the Auggies pushed three runs across the plate to pull away to a 6-1 win. The pitcher for Bethel was Tom Weko. In the nightcap, some early con-trol problems by starting pitcher Dave Fauth and errors by the Bethel defense led to an 11-4 win for Augsburg. This was one of Bethel's better hitting games as they collected 18 hits, leaving 14 men on base. In both games the Royals corn-mitted a combined total of 14 er-rors, many of which led to Auggie runs. Saturday the Royals played two of their best games this season in splitting a doubleheader with the Pipers. The first game was a case of the Royals having one bad inn-ing. This was enough for Hamline which scored all five runs in the top of the fourth and held on to win 5-4. The tough-luck loss went to Jeff Wilson. The offensive attack picked up for Bethel, but many oppor-tunities were wasted as 11 baserunners were stranded. In the second game, some good pitching by Weko, timely hitting, and an improved defense led to a 4-3 Royal win. Weko's win brought his record to 1-3. He gave up all three runs in one inning and held the Pipers in check the rest of the way. The Royals offense was also productive when it needed. Dave Fauth had four hits on the day, and reached two other times on er- See page 7 SPORTS ITEM Denise Egge took first place for women in a 100-mile race last weekend which followed a course from Lake Calhoun in Min-neapolis to Buffalo, Minn., and back.

Women's track team places fourth; breaks meet records by Wendy Norberg Bethel's women's track team broke records and qualified four members for regionals in last Saturday's meet at Macalester. All 14 private colleges in Minnesota attended the meet, with Bethel finishing a strong fourth behind St. Thomas, Concordia- Moorhead, and powerful St. Olaf. Sara Barker once again led the team efforts, taking first place in both the shot-put and the discus. Her shot of 38'21/2" set a new meet record. Barker also finished sixth in the javelin behind team-mate Sheila Kroon with fifth place. Deb Sension, also in the field events, finished a strong se-cond place in the high jump, and Carrie Severson was sixth in the shot. In the running events Jennifer Burgess qualified for regions and finished second in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 16.01. She also placed second in the 400-meter hurdles. Sherri Lindquist finished a con-troversial fourth in the 100-yard dash. She combined efforts with Burgess, Lynn Severson, and Teresa Meredith for a new school record and second place in the 440-yard relay. The same four women later took fourth in the mile relay. Severson was once again tough to beat in the 220-yd. dash with a second place time of 27.27 and Meredith took third and qualified for regions in the quarter mile. Ellie Abbott and Wendy Nor-berg broke the old school record and will go to regions in the three mile run, placing fourth and fifth with times of 18:31 and 18:35 respectively. The Bethel tennis team heads for the conference tournament with confidence gained from last weekend's play. The match against Augsburg ended up 7-2 with Bethel on top. All of the singles players and the number one doubles team won. The seeds were as follows: Steve Brown, Wayne Abbott, Kirk Smith, Greg Kuntz, Pete Nel-son, and Dave Leenhouts. In the other match, Bethel lost to Gustavus 7-2. "We were satis-fied with this score because Gus-tavus is the number one team in the MIAC. We had anticipated to lose 9-0," said Coach Mark Nor-lander. Wayne Abbott played an excel-lent match and won with scores of 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. The other point was earned by the number three dou-ble's team of Dave Leenhouts and Pete Nelson. Greg Kuntz also played a competitive match but Kirk "the generator" Smith holds the best conference record of this team with a 4-3 record. Constant improvement by Wayne "the backboard" Abbott has been a major boost to the team. Throughout the year, the team has pulled together under the lea-dership provided by Steve Brown and Pete Nelson. This leadership and the nature of the players has helped them band together as one unit. The tennis team record now stands at 4-16. "Despite the rec-ord, the season has been extremely enjoyable," Coach Mark Norlan-der commented. "There has been individual growth, emotional and spiritual. Good lasting friendships have been made. We've just plain had a good season. Most of the players realize that God cares very little whether we win or lose, but that He does care about the atti-tudes of our heart." by Ellie Abbott The men's track team produced fine efforts on Tues., April 22, at River Falls, which gave them fifth place out of seventeen teams. Although the temperature was 85 degrees, Bethel managed to place high in several events. The 440-yard relay team of Phil Asay, Barry Jass, Keith Johnson and Paul Otto placed first with a time of 43:47. Asay also finished fourth place in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 14.99. Jason Velgersdyk tied for sec-ond place in the high jump with a jump of 6' 6", Greg Stipe jumped 14' in the pole vault to take fourth place, and Johnson placed second in the 440-yard intermediate hurdles with a time of 56.58 sec-onds. On Saturday, April 26, Bethel hosted twelve teams at its four-teenth annual Bethel Relays. Al-though team scores were not kept, Coach Leighton Betz said Bethel did well. Brent Friesen captured a new school record in the 10,000 - meter run with a time of 33:31.08. Ross Allen was close behind Friesen and timed at 33:52.71. Paul Otto established a new school record in the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.94, which took first place. He also placed first in the 200-meter dash with a time of 21.88, just .01 seconds off his best time. Second place in the 800-meter run was taken by Bryan Galloway. He also got a personal best in the 800 with a time of 1:59.04. Don Hauser placed sixth in the 800 me-ter run for Bethel and Coach Betz said John Burton ran very well, taking 4.5 seconds off his best time. Greg Stipe established a school record in the hammer throw and also got a personal best in the high jump (6'). The mile relay team, consisting of Galloway, Otto, Paul Rynders, and Hauser, got their best time of the season at 3:29.38. Coach Betz was pleased with his track men and said, "I was happy with the team. It was a good set of performances for a cold day." |
