and the love in my heart,... Thanks."

New dorm repairs
coming in March
by Peter Nelson
Some students are wondering
where they will live next year. So
is the administration. They do not
have all of the plans for housing
next year's student body quite
ironed out yet.
Mack Nettleton, director of stu-dent
affairs, discussed the ques-tion,
"Will there be an old cam-pus
next year?"
"Never say never. Actually it is
highly unlikely. If it boiled down
to a choice between one or two
hundred Bethel students either
having or not having a place to
live, we would consider old cam-pus,"
he said.
Nettleton indicated that they
are looking for more apartments
for next year as a replacement for
Hagstrom. Presently, three op-tions
are being considered. The
first is to find more apartments at
or in the general direction of
Silver Crest since the bus will be
going that way anyhow.

"Unpredictable" is the way to
describe this year's rendition of
Moods, according to Director
Juan Ramos. Moods '80 will be
presented tomorrow night at 8
p.m. in the fieldhouse.
One can compare the program
to human moods, said Ramos.
"We don't know what we are go-ing
to feel like from one minute to
the next," he said. "The audience
won't know what is going to hap-pen
next."
The program is much deeper
than a simple variety show and is
very fast-paced, Ramos. said. "No
act is over four minutes long, ex-cept
near the end. The Bene-diction
is about ten minutes
long," he said, but hastened to
If that is impos,sible, then the
option of getting apartments scat-tered
throughout the community
will be considered. The third op-tion
is renting some of North-western's
apartments. This would
depend on how soon North-western
gets done with their new
dorm as well as the amount they
would charge for rent.
"Our aim is to provide corn-munity
living for all those
students who want it," said Net-tleton.
"We have been able to do
this so far, but it isn't easy."
"Sometimes students don't
realize how hard it is to come up
with housing for one school year.
It is difficult to find someone will-ing
to rent a significant number of
apartments for only nine
months." Nettleton said.
"Students are atypical people as
far as renting goes—they need
housing for less than a full year,
and they need it furnished. Fur-niture
would have to be ordered
pretty soon in order to have it for
add that it is not a "ten-minute
prayer."
The unique thing about Moods
'80 is that there are many new
faces involved with the program.
"There are people that are not
normally in the spotlight—new
talent," said Ramos. There are
participants from every class level,
from "football players to Bible
majors."
Ramos described Moods as a
"showcase of student talent."
Moods originated as strictly a stu-dent
talent show—a well-done
talent show. Now, it is more than
that, said Ramos. "It has some
unusual twists."
"The focus of the show is not
on the talents of the students, but
rather on the mood they create,"
next year," he added.
But the inquisitive Bethel stu-dent
also wants to know the future
of on-campus housing. Are there
going to be any more dorms?
According to Nettleton, "Dave
Lissner, director of campus deve-lopment,
is currently exploring the
financing of more dorms. The
most we can hope for is three new
dorms by the fall of 1981, and the
least would be one new dorm.
They would basically be the same
type of dorms as Edgren and Bo-dien."
Another question that makes its
way about campus each spring is,
"Who will be able to live on cam-pus?"
This year a good number of
upperclassmen secured townhouse
dwelling, but it looks like that
convenience will not be granted to
next year's upperclassmen.
Marilyn Starr, director of hous-ing,
indicated that they do not
plan to make any commitment to
upperclasFien for housing on
campus. "Freshmen will have
priority in getting housing on
he said. The show will be light,
heavy, in-between, sad and wor-shipful,
Ramos said.
Ramos has been working on the
show since mid-December. He is
doing it for "the personal satisfac-tion
of it—the challenge," as he
does not receive any course credit
for his efforts, though he is a
senior theatre arts major.
"A lot of things have come up
against me while I have been
working on Moods," he said.
"But the Lord answers prayers
and I have seen situations work
out before my eyes."
Ramos said that he does not
want the audience to know what
to expect tomorrow night and thus
would not give any details about
the performance.
by Mari Broman
By the end of March Edgren
ceilings should no longer leak and
grow mold, the heating system in
both Edgren and Bodien should
function properly and the
bathroom ceilings should remain
intact.
The dorms are under warranty
for one year by Westlund Com-pany,
1781 Hamline Ave. No.,
Roseville. Jim Woods, director of
physical plant has "a whole list"
of repairs for the workers when
campus. This may mean that more
upperclassmen will have to fihd
housing on their own," she said.
As far as housing for next year
goes, one thing is certain, and that
is that nobody really knows exact-ly
what is going_to happen. There
will probably not be an old cam-pus.
And with time there will be
some more definite answers to the
questions of housing—probably.
they arrive next month. They have
already come out several times,
according to Woods. They fixed
"mostly visual" defects, he said,
"but a lot more mechanical work
needs to be done."
The heating systems especially
have caused more than a few
headaches among residents, work-men
and maintenance. Manufac-ture
and installation of the system
involved four contractors, each
hesitant to accept responsibility
for the malfunctioning.
Dan Hogan, dorm maintenance
supervisor for all on-campus
housing, takes the situation in
stride. He said, "It's like
sometimes when you get a new car
with bugs in it. It's senseless to fix
it yourself, because it's under war-ranty,
but it takes a long time to
get things fixed."
Although people may think
nothing is being done, Woods
assures residents that everything
will be fixed. "It's a struggle, but
we're going to make sure it gets
done right."
His method? Said Woods, "I'm
a thorn in some people's sides."

Overdue directory
waste of funds?
The new student directory appeared in students' mailboxes this week,
bigger and better and earlier than last year's model, according to student
senate vice president Sue Stone.
BACKRUBS AT BETHEL ?
While we do not wish to question the value of the booklet—lists of
people who do typing and sewing are undoubtedly worthwhile—we do
question the wisdom of spending the money to issue the booklet this late
in the school year. According to Stone, the directory was not a high-priority
project in the senate's first semester. The senate did most of the
work during interim.
Students were asked to fill out forms for the student directory in the
fall-term registration line and the results were to be included as a supple-ment
to the Roster. Greg Kaihoi delivered the Roster in October, as pro-mised,
but no directory was included.
Now with about three months remaining in the school year, we are
able to locate people who have jumper cables, will do family planning
and who weave their own panty hose. According to Stone, the directory
will serve underclassmen for the rest of their college careers, while
seniors will at least be able to use it for a while.
The student directory is a good idea: it provides some useful informa-tion
as well as some interesting reading. But we feel that in order for the

$250 investment to be worthwhile, the directory should be up-to-date
and issued closer to the beginning of the school year.

The first Bethel students to par-ticipate
in a new admissions pro-gram,
senior Cory Dahl and
junior Terri Hanson, toured the
West Coast Feb. 4-12, as part of a
public relations/recruiting team.
Morris Anderson, director of
development in public affairs,
Curt Fauth, alumni director in
public relations and George
Palke, assistant professor in
physical education, completed the
team.
Seven flights in nine days took
them from major city to major ci-ty
as they performed at banquets,
talked to prospective students and
their parents and spoke in chur-ches
and schools.
Their mission was "friends,
funds and freshmen," said Han-son.
They also presented Bethel to
many who knew nothing about it.
"People in California think Min-nesota
is a foreign country," Dahl
said, chuckling.
Banquet invitations are sent to
alumni, Bethel contributors and
prospective students. Palke con-tacted
Christian athletes. "What
we've been doing isn't so much
beating the bushes for students,
but showing that Bethel is here if
they want a good Christian col-lege."
At each of the six banquets,
Hanson and Dahl performed a fif-teen
minute skit about a typical
student's four years at Bethel.
Each was also available to answer
questions and to generally be a
"real live Bethel student," Dahl
said.
Both students said they enjoyed
the trip and thought it well worth
the time and work. It was also,
however, "a- wearing experience.
You had to be in front of people
all of the time. It occured to me
how many times Jesus was in
front of a crowd and how much he
must have longed to get away
sometimes," Hanson said. She
added that a sense of purpose
helped get her through the hard
times.
Though the schedule was busy,
Cory Dahl
they did have some time to relax.
Bethel treated them to a tour of
the Universal Studios and a day in
Disneyland. They also drove
around San Francisco and Seattle
on sightseeing excursions.
THAT'S NOTHING • • •
Neither of the two is sure why
they were chosen. Both, however,
have been involved in Sundouloi
as admissions hosts. Fauth asked
Hanson in December if she would
like to go on the trip. Tentative at
first because of funds, the trip was
finally approved in January. Dahl
was chosen only one week before
the trip when another student
could not go.
Dahl said that he felt the Lord's
involvement in their work. "He
allowed us to really enhance
Bethel's position and Bethel as
part of the Lord's work."
Since the West Coast tour,
there has been another trip to
Florida without student represen-tatives.
Two more "recruiting
blitzes" are planned in March for
the Boston and Chicago/Ohio
areas. Hanson and Dahl have
been asked to go on these tours
too, but they have not decided
whether or not they are going.
"It's hard for me to decide,
because I'd miss school," Hanson
said.
Dahl said that. Bethel "intends
to do this more often in the
future," as a way to fight declin-ing
enrollment. "This would
allow us to continue our growth
without letting down our Chris-tian
standards," he added.
Recruiting tour leads to West Coast
Clarification
Last week the Clarion reported on the promising outlook in
Bethel's 10-year reacreditation application under the headline,
"Bethel likely to win accreditation." The head should have read
"Bethel likely to win reaccreditation," as Bethel is now fully ac-credited
by the North Central Association of Colleges and
Schools.

Defaced flag at show
portrays disrespect
An open letter to Bob Mattson
Re: Defacing the American flag
Dear Bob,
For the Raspberry Monday art
show you placed on display an
American flag with a swastika
where the stars ought to be. I am
not going to question your right to
do this as an expression of your
freedom of speech, although you
need to be reminded that the na-tion
whose flag you abuse is per-haps
the only nation that concedes
such liberty to its citizens. My rea-son
for writing is to reply to your
freedom of expression with a little
freedom of my own on the subject
of defacing the American flag.
I assume that you would never
put the Canadian flag to such use,
or the flag of any other nation.
Yet you seem to feel that the US
flag is yours to do with as you
like. This is obviously not true;
the flag of America is not yours
but ours. Therefore you will need
the consensus, if not the permis-sion,
of your fellow-citizens to al-ter
it in any way.
The swastika may be some his-torical
emblem of facism to you,
Food
for h
Canb
but for many still alive who lived
the horror of the war and the
death camps, it is a matter of deep
sensitivity. Respect for your Jew-ish
neighbors alone should have
dissuaded you from your design.
I would guess your intention
was to illustrate the contrast be-tween
Nazi Germany and modern
America. But to the viewer's mind
the idea of identification comes
first and when this happens your
swastika-flag communicates a
falsehood.
The flag should not be defaced,
not because it is sacred, but be-cause
it symbolizes our highest
ideals and goals as a nation. It also
stands for our common, uniting
heritage, something still cherished
by most of your fellow Amer-icans.
For the same reason you would
not deface 4 photograph of your
parents or ancestors, or that of
your neighbors, you should not
deface the flag. Your homeland,
as well as your family, has contri-buted
richly and freely toward
your growth, education, and total
well being. It merits, therefore,
your public gratitude and respect.
Art Lewis
To the Editor:
Some notes on offensive flags
I have been personally deeply
offended so frequently that I have
adapted somewhat to that state
and indeed find it difficult to ac-cept
that people would actually
take offense at being offended. It
was however certainly not our in-tention
that anyone should be per-sonally
hurt by this flag incident.
We live in a profane age and
nothing is sacred. Maybe they
should be but they ain't. And
everything is stirred around so it's
hard to know what might turn
around. But then nobody cares
about what's sacred to me. It
might be noted•however that it is
quite fashionable to be feeling a
bit hurt these days.
Horror O.K. The horrors of the
Third Reich have been made
vividly real in art, to much acclaim
(see Lasanky's The Nazi Drawings
in the library [honorary doctorate
from Hamline for that] also con-sider
Goya and Picasso's Guer-nica).
Use of the Flag O.K. In the late
sixties there was broad public ac-ceptance
of a flag style bikini
worn by one Raquel Welch.
Ambiguity of meaning isn't so
serious. I really doubt that the
meaning of this piece is any more
complicated or very different in
point of view than that commonly
expressed in political cartoons,
many of which I fail to unders-tand
even with captions. But they
are little and black and white and
on page 4. It takes "Art" for im-pact.
What's a Flag? The noted
American artist Jasper Johns (big
bucks, no anti-establishment type)
(well he was, but he has since been
embraced by the establishment)
painted a picture of an American
flag. He painted the same size as
the flag he painted. The flag in the
painting was the same size as the
painting. Was it a painting of a
flag or a painted flag? He also
painted a green, black and orange
American flag. After staring at it,
the afterimage was red, white and
blue, an illusion. The real flag
wasn't really an American flag but
the real American flag was an illu-sion.
I have visited the graves of
American soldiers in Europe. Last
spring I visited the camp at
Dachau. No illusion, it was sober-ing
sad but seemed a long time
ago. But then it did seem like a
pretty modern setup. Those Sko-kie
Nazi's scare me because when
socialism finally gets through with
things somebody is going to have
to take over and pick up what's
left. But maybe that's way off in
the distant future.
Desecration of the American
flag? Who defaced the Nazi flag?
I seldom saw the American flag in
Viet Nam. Seldom also the Viet-namese
flag. One flag I saw every-where
the American army went:
the confederate flag. That's the
American flag on foreign soil,
which is where it makes any par-ticular
difference. A black soldier
in Viet Nam (they did most of the
American dying) could hardly buy
a drink without paying homage to
that American flag.
If you like the movies, you
might like this flag piece. Ambi-guity
is the name of the game
these days. David Johnson
Assistant professor of art
Flag shows
opposing
ideologies
An open letter responding to Dr.
Art Lewis
Dear Professor Lewis,
After reading your letter, I have
the distinct feeling that you do not
approve of my work in the Rasp-berry
Monday art show. I hope
that, through this letter, I can
show you what I had in mind
when I made it, and I hope to
clear up some of the confusion
there has been around school
regarding the piece.
First of all, I would never think
of defacing the American flag,
and you cannot rightfully say that
I have. My piece never was an
American flag, nor was it intend-ed
to be. It is a work of art corn-bining
the symbols of two con-flicting
ideologies.
Furthermore, it is not displayed
in a public area as a flag is, but in
an art gallery along with other
works of art. I certainly do not
feel it is necessary for me to obtain
permission from my fellow-citi-zens
to display a work of art, just
because it bears resemblance to
our flag.
Secondly, I don't want anyone
to think that I have no respect for
the Jews. I realize that the swas-tika
may instill horror in the
hearts of many Jews, but not in
this context. There is a great dif-ference
between a swastika paint-
, ed on the front door of a Jewish
home and one in the context in
which I have placed it. The many
positive interpretations of the
meaning of this piece should be es-pecially
agreeable to the Jewish
community because of their past.
Moreover, the piece was not
meant to convey a message con-trary
to American ideals, it simply
portrays the paradox that exists
when a movement such as the
Nazis' is allowed to exist in
America. The swastika doesn't
even have to represent the Nazi
movement, it can be thought of as
representing any degenerative
force in America today.
I think you will agree that these
are issues which need to be faced
by us as Americans. This work has
forced Bethel students to give
these issues some thought, which
is exactly what it was intended to
do.

Internship sparks political interest
by Suzi Wells
With the 1980 election ap-proaching,
several Bethel students
are actively campaigning for their
candidates by putting up posters,
passing out campaign buttons and
encouraging fellow students to
vote for their candidates. One of
these students, a Carter supporter,
is Bobbie Dischinger.
Although Bobbie is currently
active in the Carter campaign, she
has not always been a "political
activist." Her first real interest in
politics was sparked by her "Man
and Politics" class, taught by
John Lawyer, associate professor
of political science. "At that time
I had a surface interest in

American political processes,"
she said.
First a declared sociology ma-jor,
Bobbie said her perspectives
broadened after her freshman
year. An interest in pre-law chang-ed
to a focus on political science,
with a primary interest in U.S. af-fairs.
The summer after her sopho-more
year, however, her views
changed again after a short-term
missionary experience in Mexico
City.
"I became more interested in
international relations," she ex-plained.
At that time, her adviser,
Ken Gowdy, associate professor
in sociology, helped her to develop
- a non-standard specialization
(major of her own making) which
became "Socio-economic studies:
Latin America."
Bobbie's interest in Latin
America, politics and sociology
led her to Washington, D.C.,
where she spent one interim and a
semester in the American Studies
program. This program allows
students from different Christian

while they are attending classes.
Bobbie did her internship with the
Washington Office on Latin
America (WOLA), where she did
research on the Panama Canal
treaties.
While in Washington, Bobbie
said she was "struck with the re-sponsibility
of Christians to be in-volved
in the world. Christians
need to be aware of and involved
in politics."
After her Washington exper-ience,
Bobbie returned to Bethel
and joined a group of students
concerned with world issues which
include political issues and world
hunger, poverty and war. The
group, the Christian .Disciple-ship
Coalition (CDC), primarily
emphasizes helping students be-come
aware of world problems
and their responsibility to and in
the world.
Currently, Bobbie is working
with CDC on a World Hunger
Awareness Conference, scheduled
for April.
Her friendship and work under
Ken Gowdy (she is his teaching as-sistant)
has helped Bobbie develop
her interest in sociology, poli-tics
and Latin America. "His so-ciological
perspective was helpful
in bringing together political
science, international relations
and economic development," she
said.
by Patty Sutton
Roy Wilbee, director of AV
media services in the LRC, is pro-ducing
a film for North America
Indian Missions (NAIM) while he
is on sabbatical this year.
North American Indian Mis-sions
works basically in British
Columbia and is moving into
Saskatchewan. Last summer eight
Bethel students took part in the
NAIM program as part of SMP.
"I can't remember when I first
became aware of NAIM because I
grew up in Vancouver, B.C., but
I've worked with them for many
years."
The film is being designed to
show the four-phase program that
the mission uses to work with In-dians.
The missionaries go to the
reservations and get to know the
people. They then get new
believers into Bible studies right
away, help them to become
disciples and develop their out-reach.
The missionary then leaves
so the Indians can take over the
ministry.
"The Lord has worked out
tough situations," said Wilbee.
"On the last project I did for
NAIM, there was real evidence of
the evil power at work on the
reservations. This time people
have been praying and God has
been good."
Wilbee still has much to do. The
spring and summer taping, as well
as the post-production work are
left to do before NAIM shows the
film in August.
The film centers around an In-dian
couple, Tom and Carol Den-nis.
It tells the story of their life
from before conversion to the pre-sent
where they are influential in
Christian leadership on their
reservation.
Wilbee says he's not an "ag-gressive
photographer" and has
had problems deciding whether to
take shots of people in bad situa-tions
for fear "it might hinder the
Lord's dealing in their lives."
Some of the film was done on
Bethel's campus. A blizzard was
needed, but there hasn't been any
this year, so a snowblower at the
football field produced the
necessary effect.

SMP doubles applicants
Spickelmier. Not everyone is ac-cepted,
because the students have
to show themselves capable of do-ing
short-term missionary work.
If accepted into the SMP pro-gram,
each student is given finan-cial
help with their project. They
receive 30 per cent of their ex-penses,
the rest of which they
must raise themselves.
(Last summer Dave was with
the North American Indian Mis-sion
in Vancouver, British Colum-bia,
working with inner-city In-dians.
His expenses were five to
six hundred dollars, while
overseas projects in places like
Japan or Indian could cost in the
thousands of dollars.)
Dave observed, "It's neat to see
the way things work out for the
kids who are trying to raise sup-port."
One such person is Cheryl
Bach. A sophomore from
Kalamazoo, Michigan, Cheryl is
planning on going to Glenallen,
Alaska. There she will travel from
village to village helping in Daily
Vacation Bible Schools and will
also be counseling at a camp for a
few weeks.
Dealing with both Indian and
white people, Cheryl will be work-ing
for the Alaskan Bible College.
In preparation for her ministry,
she is taking an anthropology
course which she feels is 'helping
her a lot.
In addition, she will be given a
two-week training seminar when
she gets there. Her financial needs
are being met by her home church
in Michigan.
"I'm really excited," she said
, of her opportunity. "I heard
about it through a friend after I
had applied to SMP. I knew I
wanted to do some short-term
missionary work, and this
sounded really fun."
Dave Eckert
"The number of accepted
SMPers is by no means closed
now at 62," said Dave. "We
would consider those who are
serious about going out on a pro-ject
but haven't applied yet."
While SMP is concerned with
giving as many kids a chance as
possible, at this point it does not
seem feasible for the committee to
accept many more applicants. The
major concern is finances.
"With the increased number of
SMPers and the cost of inflation,
we're needing a lot more money
than last year," Dave said. "We
have raised nine thousand dollars
so far this year to support this
summer's participants, but we'll
need twelve or thirteen thousand
more."
Money is raised through fund-raisers
such as last Sunday's
movie "Brother Sun, Sister
Moon," and offerings taken in
chapel.
Dave describes the purpose of
SMP as being two-fold. "One is
the short-term project. The se-cond
is that the student will talk to
others about his experience and in
this way help send out more peo-ple,"
he said.
"Bethel's part in, SMP is to get
to know those who are going out,
and support them either financial-ly
or with prayers. Prayer support
is a tremendous thing. There's
nothing like knowing you have
that backing when you're at a
hard time."

"It's really neat to see this hap-pen."
These were the words of
SMP president Dave Eckert as he
announced last week the closing
of applications for this summer's
program.
A record number of students
applied to SMP this year for help
in gaining missions experience.
Last year 35 Bethel students
took part in student missionary
projects all over the world, and
although that was the best
response of any previous year, the
total for this summer has nearly
doubled with over sixty accepted.
SMP (Student Missionary Pro-ject)
was initially a student-incentive
program designed to
make available opportunities to
those who desired short-term mis-sionary
experience. It is still a
student-run organization made up
of participants in last year's pro-jects.
"Some people come to us with
something already in mind that
they want to do," Dave said.
"But our main purpose is to give
people an idea of what's available.
We help them contact mission
agencies if they need it, but we
don't tell anyone what to do or
give them a choice of this or
that."
Students who wish to be a part
of the program fill out an applica-tion
and are interviewed by the
SMP committee. This includes
several of last year's SMPers, stu-dent
ministries coordinator Curt
Hansen, and campus pastor Jim

`Junk' wins taste test,
loses health award
by Shelly Nielsen
I don't want to make waves. Neither do I want to sound rude. But
seriously, you health fanatics could drive me crazy. You're hard to live
with.
What have I ever done to you? I don't begrudge you your sprouts. So
what gives you the right to make me feel guilty for taking the elevator in-stead
of climbing the lousy PO stairs? Does my salt addiction hurt you?
Why would you try to take my saccharin-laden drinks off grocery
shelves forever? You people are a pain.
First of all, your looks. What normal human being leaps out of bed
each morning glowing like he's subsisted on turnips and wheat germ
since birth—gleaming-eyed, Dentyne-toothed, henna-haired? It's repul-sive.
You jog. All right, even I've been known to righteously don shorts
and Bethel T-shirts for athletic sprints through the picturesque streets of
New Brighton. I've endured socks around my ankles, and the neighbors
chortling cruelly as I pant past. .
But I cannot abide people who like the sport, who glean real pleasure
from cross country dashes. At best, I'll suffer through it, moaning every
painful step of my four-block ordeal, and grumble about strained mus-cles
and wasted time an entire week following. But enjoy myself? It's
unnatural. It's un-American.
My healthy friends disagree.
"Feel that crisp air expanding your hungry lungs," exclaims an .elo-quent
jogging partner in a booming voice reminiscent of "Chicken Fat"
and Robert Preston. "It's so invigorating!"
I'm gasping for breath, so I can't tell him just what I think of this last
poetic phrase, but I glare communicatively. He doesn't notice. He's
busy "relishing the powerful pumpings of the heart," and "drinking in
the sights and sounds of a peaceful suburban neighborhood." I fight
nausea, briefly.
You health addicts make rotten meal companions. Talking carbohy-drates
and protein at the dinner table is unforgivably gauche. When I'm
trying to mindlessly wolf down a Twinkie, this type of conversation isn't
conducive to digestion. Every meal, I steel myself for another vigorous
sermonette from my health-conscious cohorts:
"Eat your squash."
I mash the "ample, nutritious helping of squash" into my "delicious
mound of vitamin-filled baby peas," taciturnly.
"It's loaded with natural goodness," my friend persists. "Your
system will break it down into usable elements, convert it into energy,
distribute it through your body. Isn't it wonderful the way the body
works when it's taken proper care of?
I think of caramel popcorn and drool a little.
"You haven't touched your grapefruit. Do you know what kind of
vitamins are packed into that little segment? Try some spinach."
Because of these uncomfortable confrontations—in which I'm forced
to justify and heatedly defend my usual fare of licorice and pistachio
pudding—I've been forced to invent a list of swift answers to inquisitive
busybodies. The two I've' found to be most effective are: "My eating
habits stem from an unhappy childhood" and "I'm trying to quit smok-ing."
Both silence the most convicted health enthusiasts. I keep these
phrases at the -tip of my deceitful tongue each time I nervously release
the potent goodness of nacho cheese Doritos aroma.
After all, you people aren't to be trusted. You're changeable. Now
it's Perrier and granola and carob. But just a few weeks ago you were
telling us to eat large quantities of eggs and butter. What makes you
think I'm going to listen to you now? I'm not dumb. And at least I'm
consistent in my eager appraisal of the unwholesome desirability of an
RC.
Come on. You can't lie to me. Doesn't Fanny Farmer have any ap-peal?
Admit it. There's no contest between a lettuce salad and a plump
little Milky Way oozing chocolate, nuts and heaven knows what other
marvelous, wicked ingredients. Junk wins the taste test every time. And
your confession is the first step toward renouncing a serious personality
flaw.
But if you insist that it's time for my reformation—if you continue to
nag and cajole and threaten—I'll give your way a shot. I'll try.
I'll jog. I'll eat hard boiled eggs (no salt) for lunch. (Watch me in the
coffee shop, though. I'm a sucker for rum raisin anything.) I'll chant
the word "calisthenics" idiodically.
But shut up about my M & M's.

Former Bethel actress attains professional status
by Scott Barsuhn
Do' you ever wonder what hap-pens
to Bethel fine arts
graduates? What becomes of
those students who graduate from
our art, theatre arts and music
departments once they leave our
liberal arts community?
In an attempt to zero in on the
answers to some of these ques-tions,
the Clarion presents the
first of a four-part series that will
interview several of these Bethel
graduates.
We'll be able to see what has
happened to them since their
Bethel days, how Bethel equipped
them for their careers, and what
they feel their roles are as Chris-tians
in the fine arts.
Carole Jean Anderson is a 1977
graduate from the department of
theatre arts and she gladly agreed
to be the first subject of this
series.
by Scott A. Barsuhn
To see the Picasso exhibit at the
Walker Art Center right now is
most likely one of the best art op-portunities
in the western half of
the United States.
From the future Picasso
Museum in Paris, this Picasso col-lection
shows not only Picasso's
life through his work (and at his
very best), but also shows the
evolution to art's modern thought
that is so often, and so correctly,
attributed to Picasso. The show
exhibits some of the artist's best-loved
and most famous pieces—
works that are known throughout
the world.
Through some artistry of its
own, the Walker Art Center in
Minneapolis was able to capture
this exhibit for a seven-week
period. More incredible than that,
this very show will only be ex-hibited
in one other city in the
United States (New York City)
before arriving at its final location
in Paris. The chances of seeing a
show of this quality—outside of
going to Paris—are pretty slim.
As usual, the Walker Art
Center has gone all out for this
show, transforming the gallery
area into an exceptional show-place
for this exceptional show.
The show is organized showing
the master's work in chronologi-cal
order, and stretches through-out
his life.
Credit must be given for the ef-fort
the Art Center has made at
educating the novice art ap-preciator
in the fundamentals of
the work of Picasso. Complete ex-planations
of works and moods
are given, along with the oppor-tunity
to enjoy a tape recorded
tour that will explain the show as
one goes through.
It should be noted that with a
student ID, tickets to see the show
are only $1 (believe it or not), and
to get out there and do it. Liberal
arts training is good. It's good to
be exposed to things different
from what you are basically in-terested
in, but still, when you get
out specialized training is very im-portant."
Finally we talked about being
an artist who is a Christian, and
what that means.
"I want to be a witness, and to
do that you must earn the respect
of your peers, and the best way to
do that is to be excellent in your
field...that is what is most impor-tant."
"Being a Christian in Theatre
also means refining what you have
and trying to do your best. I'm
not an evangelist, but I feel that
what I am doing is just as valid as
any other mission work. More
Christians should be in the
mainstream of things, and we
have no excuse not to be trained
or disciplined in what we are do-ing."
Feeling that constant growth is
a key factor, Carole is now plann-ing
on more training at Ohio

she plans to receive her MFA in

Recruiting for sports teams is
an essential part of the athletic
departments at Bethel, as it is at
any state school. But here at
Bethel the recruiting process is dif-ferent.
Bethel coaches look not
only for good athletes, but for
good athletes who are dedicated to
Jesus Christ, and who will be
leaders in all areas of their lives as
a result.
This standard necessarily makes
the pool of possible recruits
smaller than that of most colleges.
The fact that Bethel cannot offer
athletic scholarships cuts the
number even further.
But, according to basketball
Coach George Palke, the higher
caliber person who meets these
standards makes recruiting easier.
Those who finally come to Bethel
have a positive Christian attitude
which makes them more fun to
work with.
All of the coaches are, of
course, involved in recruiting for
their own sport. But as George
Henry, athletic director and chair-man
of the physical education de-partment,
pointed out, "The best
recruiters- are contented athletes:
not just content with football or
basketball, but content with the
atmosphere at Bethel."
The process of recruiting begins
with contacts. Bethel coaches con-tact

St. Thomas finished in first -
place with 89 points, while Bethel
was close behind with 87 points.
The four other teams included
Carleton, Macalester, Gustavus,
and St. Catherine.
Jennifer Bergess placed first in
the 60-yard hurdles with a-time of
9.02 seconds, setting a new Bethel
indoor record.
Also finishing in first place were
the 880 medley relay and the 440
relay teams, setting new indoor
records for Bethel with 2:00.7 and
:55.0 respectively. Shelli
DeBilzen, Sherri Lindquist, Lynn
Severson, and Theresa Meredith
comprise the 880 relay team. The
440 relay team is DeBilzen, Lind-quist,
Severson, and Burgess.
Every team member placed in
her individual event. Second
places were earned by Sara Barker
in the shot put; Severson in the
60-yard dash and 280-yard dash,
and Meredith in the 440.
Third places included Brenda
Harris in the 880, Carie Severson
in the shot put, and Lindquist in
the 60-yard dash.
In the two-mile run, Wendy

half, Bethel roared back to beat

The Royals trailed 36-32 at the
half but Hamline missed a number
of free throws or the gap could
have been wider.
Tom Weko's free throws tied
the score at 50 and Bethel went
ahead shortly after. Dave Blan-chard,
who Coach George Palke
calls the best point guard in the
MIAC, spurred the comeback,

the ball.

While schoolwork was lighter
over January and the first part of
this month, intramural activities
picked up the pace with a record
number of students participating.
The event that seemed to in-volve
every student in the school
was broomball. Forty-two teams
participated in the six divisions.
Seventeen teams made the play-offs,
including three undefeated
teams, Gingers, Fire Cracker
Kids, and Johnny Fast and the
Broom Pistols.
Only one of these teams, the
Gingers, made it to the semi-final
round along with Dog Breath,
Lords of the Rink and the Butch-ers.
Both semi-final contests were
close, hard fought games. The
Lords made the finals by defeat-ing
Dog Breath 1-0, and the
Butchers defeated the Gingers by
the same score.
In the championship game, the
score was tied 1-1 at the end of
regulation time. In overtime,
Brian Olmstead scored for the
Lords - and Scott Feltman scored
for the Butchers. Then, in the se-cond
over time period, Chuck
Engberg blasted the winning goal
for the Butchers, giving them their
second straight IM broomball
championship.
Edlund brothers (Gary and Greg)
put the Royals ahead to stay
62-56. They went up by 10 at
72-62 when Jason Velgersdyk, ly-ing
flat on his back, fed Gary
Edlund for a lay-up.
At the buzzer Steve "Hoss"
Carrigan, the fans' favorite, put
in two points and the fans showed
that winning is contagious by
spilling onto the court and lugging
Hoss off the court on their
shoulders.
Again the scoring was balanced
with Gary Edlund's 16 markers
leading the way. Blanchard had 14
and Miller 13, while Weko scored
12 and Greg Edlund 11.
Having a team with no one star
player has been an asset, said
Palke. "Whatever a team takes

Bethel history, pumped in 18
points apiece. Freshman Jason
Velgersdyk added 14.
After a tight first that saw Gus-tavus
hold a narrow 40-38 lead,
the Gusties spurted to a 12-point
margin early in the second session,
58-46. Blanchard's off-balance
shot and a basket by Miller closed
the gap to 69-66 but the Royals
could not get any closer.

35 players entered the tourna-ment.
Brian Doten, Todd Chap-man,
Dan Dye and Peter Sauffer-er
reached the semi-final round

to win the championship.
That wasn't the only first place
that "Chapper" won. On Thurs-day
of the same week Chapman,

The championship was won by
the team called Ya Gotta Like It.
They went on undefeated through
the season and the playoffs. Team
members were Debbie Omath, Sa-rah

participate. Make sure to check
the IM board (PE 220) and sign up
for billiards, racquetball, volley-ball,
chess and many other sports.
Against Hamline the Royals us-ed
an ingenious stall, lining 4 men
up just inside the sideline. The
players handed the ball back and
forth until the frustrated Pipers
were forced to foul.

Bethel's track team participated
in two meets last weekend,
dividing the squad up to compete
at Carleton and Northern Iowa.
No team scores were kept at
Northern Iowa although it includ-ed
about 15 schools, some much
larger than Bethel (Iowa State,
Northern Iowa).
Phil Asay came within one-half
inch of his indoor triple jump
record, finishing second at
48'31/2". Paul Otto placed second
in the 300 with a school record
time of 31.57 sec. and won his
heat in the 440 but did not place.
Tying his indoor record, Greg
Stipe pole vaulted 14'6". He also
took a third in the long jump.
In the 600, Brian Galloway
finished fourth while Joel Rude
also made it to the finals. The 440
relay (Keith Johnson, Andy Lar-son,
Barry Jass, and Paul Otto)
came in third, setting a school
record.
Also doing well were the two-mile
relay and shuttle hurdle relay
teams, finishing fifth and sixth,
respectively. Dwight Newman,
On Saturday Bethel blew a
9-point lead early in the second
half but rebounded for a 91-82
win.
Hot shooting by Concordia
paced them to a 27-21 lead but the
Randy Bostrom, Don Hauser, and
Mark Boyer make up the two-mile
and the shuttle hurdle team con-sists
of Stipe, Rude, Asay, and
Bruce Case.
At Carleton, Bethel's partial
team finished second to the host
team. Scott Lumby took first in
the high jump. Lumby also placed
second in the pole vault and third
in the long jump.
-Other standouts included Dan
Borth, Paul Rynders, Tim Glader,
John Burton, and Chris Lind-quist.
Four wrestlers
go to nationals
Four Royal wrestlers will corn-pete
in the NAIA nationals, star-ting
next Wednesday at Hays,
Kansas.
Paul Frandsen (24-1), Lonnie
Holmgren (13-3-2), Mike Ander-son
(14-11), and Russ Reynolds
(15-8) will participate. Holmgren,
second in the MIAC meet, is the
lone senior. Anderson is a Junior
while Frandsen and Reynolds are
only freshmen.
Cobbers started to stall. The
Royals stole the ball twice and
were off running, leading 42-39 at
the half.
With both teams liking the
fastbreak, the second half began
at a torrid pace. Scott Wilson's
one-hander made it 58-49 but the
Cobbers outscored Bethel 14-4 to
take a 63-62 lead. Blanchard
scored and then Weko capped off
a nifty fastbreak to put them
ahead for good.
"I don't think anyone can run
as well as we do," said Palke. "If
we control the boards, we're going
to win." They did both games,
out-rebounding the Pipers 48-30
and Concordia 42-27.
Brawl mars
game, Royals
look ahead
by Steve Erickson
The hockey team's second year
of varsity competition ended last
week, with the Royals finishing in
the MIAC cellar.
Competiton was tough in the
MIAC, the best small hockey con-ference
in the nation, as six teams
were in the title chase with a week
left in the season.
"We always thought we could
win more games," said Coach
Dave Harris. "It was a difficult
season. After we beat St. John's,
everybody said 'we better watch
out.' But we gained closeness and
experience."
OnLy one player, Mark Olson,
will graduate so the team should
be stronger.
The season ended on a sour
note with the team involved in a
brawl at the University of Illinois.
Bethel broke Illinois' shutout,
scoring late in the game to make it
10-1.
Fights erupted soon afterward.
The game was called and is not in-cluded
in the record books. Satur-day's
second game was cancelled.
In the skirmish Scott Johnson suf-fered
a broken jaw while Scott
Larson cut his hand badly.
Another player received a concus-sion.
Earlier in the game and
unrelated to that incident, Steve
Kettelkamp suffered a dislocated
shoulder.
In other co--tests last week,
Bethel fell to St. Cloud 6-2 and St.
Mary's 9-6.
The Royals applied heavy
pressure early in the game but the
St. Cloud goaltender was outstan-ding.
"If we could've scored three
or four goals early, it could've
been a different story," said Har-ris.
Against the Redmen, both
teams were battling to escape last
place. "We should've won that
game. We got behind 4-1 and
couldn't come back," said Harris.
The Royals almost did but a
breakaway goal and an empty net
goal put them away.
"Now we have to go out and do
some recruiting. We've gotten
publicity and recognition to let
young Christian men know we
have a hockey program," said
Harris.
