LEARNING RESOURCE BETHEL COLLEGE 3900 Bethel Drive St. Fauti tMnne a 56.111 Repairs in Edgren and Bodien dorms, which are under warranty, will be finished by the end of March. Meanwhile, the search for money for new dorms continues. Stu's new chair Stu Soneson, a sophomore from Jamestown, N.Y., shifts into forward on his new electrically-powered wheelchair. Bethel students raised a substantial portion of the $2500 cost for the chair which they presented in a chapel service last week. Soneson said to the audience, "I don't have the words to express the ap-preciation and the love in my heart,... Thanks." larions. Vol.55 No.17 Bethel College, St. Paul, MN February 29, 1980 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. by Joy Nannette Banta "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."

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 was available for private titillations). 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.

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.

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.

Page 4 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 Eklof, Rumsey join in violin, flute senior performance Everyone is invited to attend the senior recital given by Ann Ekiof and Dawn Rumsey Monday, March 3 at 8 p.m. in the Seminary Chapel. Ann, violinist, and Dawn, flutist, will perform selections by Telemann, Bruch, and Beethoven. Concluding the recital will be a sonata by J.S. Bach with harpsi-chord and cello. There will be a reception following. No admission will be charged. 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 Monday The Charismatic Movement—Dr. Clarence Bass Tuesday Vatican II—Fresh Winds in Catholicism—Mr. Jean Scapanski, St. Thomas College Wednesday Rev. Delmar Dahl Thursday Christians and the draft? Friday World Day of Prayer Consortium Colleges such as Be-thel to have an internship in their interest or concentration area 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.

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." Trinity Baptist Church Welcomes You 220 Edgerton Street at Hwy. 36 St. Paul, MN 55117 774-8609 Rev.

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."

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. What did you expect—miracles?

Page 6 entertainment 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 University in Athens, Ohio, where she plans to receive her MFA in acting. Rosedale or Har Mar to the Walker for only 40(r. A truly great show, and for those of us lucky enough to live in the Twin Cities, a truly great deal. This is perhaps a once in a lifetime opportunity.

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 high school coaches who will screen their players for those who by Ken Wanovich Three new indoor records and a consistent team effort put the women's track team in second place out of six teams last Friday at the Carleton Invitational track - meet. 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 Norberg placed fourth, Ellie Ab-bott placed fifth, and Harris plac-ed sixth in the one-mile run. "I didn't have any idea how the scores would come out," said Coach Dawson.

Happy is the athlete who comes to college and finds not only a good sports program, but also ex-cellent standards in his area of academic interest. Happy is the athlete who finds a sense of purpose in his chosen school; who finds an administra-tion, faculty and staff who work as a team for the good of the students. Happy are the Bethel athletic coaches who can offer recruits the promise of a well-rounded school. Scott Wilson tosses in two in Bethel's 83 -71 victory over Hamline (Photo Doug Barkey). Men's track competes at Carleton, Northern Iowa Page 8 Balanced attack knocksoff Pipers, Cobbers by Steve Erickson Playing before the usual packed fieldhouse, the Royals upped their record to 18-8 with home wins over Hamline and Concordia- Moorhead. Falling behind by 11 in the first half, Bethel roared back to beat the Pipers 83-71 and knock Hamline out of a possible tourna-ment bid in the NCAA, Division 3 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, playing aggressively and stealing the ball. Buckets by Rey Miller and the With six seniors playing their fi-nal game in the Bethel uniform, the Royal basketball team bowed to Gustavus 79-75 Wednesday in the Robertson Center. The game had no effect on post-season possibilities since St. John's had won its game Tuesday night, eliminating Bethel from the playoffs. Dave Blanchard, Rey Miller, Tom Weko, Scott Wilson, Gary Edlund, and Steve Carrigan will graduate this year. All but Edlund by Phil Almeroth 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 away from us they have to give us somewhere else. They can't con-centrate on anyone or any one thing." and Carrigan were regulars throughout their four-year career. Wednesday Blanchard and Mil-ler, two of the top scoreres in 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. On Jan. 22 the men's one-on-one tournament was held. In all, 35 players entered the tourna-ment. Brian Doten, Todd Chap-man, Dan Dye and Peter Sauffer-er reached the semi-final round and Chapman defeated Dye 11-9 to win the championship. That wasn't the only first place that "Chapper" won. On Thurs-day of the same week Chapman, Jerry Black and Scott Engstrom defeated Doten, Dye and Steve Johnson to win the three-on-three charr pion3hip. Also held at the same time was the free throw championship won by Dave Hep-burn who made 49 of 50 free throws. Women's basketball also went on during the last month. The 30 who played constituted the largest turnout for IM women's basket-ball in several years. 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 Runion, Betsy Koonce, Julie Murphy, Sue Eppinga and Karen Evans. There are many activities corn-ing soon for all who would like to 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. by Steve Erickson 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. Late results — Royals drop finale, Johnnies win Butchers claim title in double overtime

Vol.55 No.17 Bethel College, St. Paul, MN February 29, 1980 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. by Joy Nannette Banta "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."

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 was available for private titillations). 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.

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.

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.

Page 4 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 Eklof, Rumsey join in violin, flute senior performance Everyone is invited to attend the senior recital given by Ann Ekiof and Dawn Rumsey Monday, March 3 at 8 p.m. in the Seminary Chapel. Ann, violinist, and Dawn, flutist, will perform selections by Telemann, Bruch, and Beethoven. Concluding the recital will be a sonata by J.S. Bach with harpsi-chord and cello. There will be a reception following. No admission will be charged. 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 Monday The Charismatic Movement—Dr. Clarence Bass Tuesday Vatican II—Fresh Winds in Catholicism—Mr. Jean Scapanski, St. Thomas College Wednesday Rev. Delmar Dahl Thursday Christians and the draft? Friday World Day of Prayer Consortium Colleges such as Be-thel to have an internship in their interest or concentration area 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.

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." Trinity Baptist Church Welcomes You 220 Edgerton Street at Hwy. 36 St. Paul, MN 55117 774-8609 Rev.

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.

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. What did you expect—miracles?

Page 6 entertainment 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 University in Athens, Ohio, where she plans to receive her MFA in acting.

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 high school coaches who will screen their players for those who by Ken Wanovich Three new indoor records and a consistent team effort put the women's track team in second place out of six teams last Friday at the Carleton Invitational track - meet. 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 Norberg placed fourth, Ellie Ab-bott placed fifth, and Harris plac-ed sixth in the one-mile run. "I didn't have any idea how the scores would come out," said Coach Dawson.

Happy are the Bethel athletic coaches who can offer recruits the promise of a well-rounded school. Scott Wilson tosses in two in Bethel's 83 -71 victory over Hamline (Photo Doug Barkey). Men's track competes at Carleton, Northern Iowa Page 8 Balanced attack knocksoff Pipers, Cobbers by Steve Erickson Playing before the usual packed fieldhouse, the Royals upped their record to 18-8 with home wins over Hamline and Concordia- Moorhead. Falling behind by 11 in the first half, Bethel roared back to beat the Pipers 83-71 and knock Hamline out of a possible tourna-ment bid in the NCAA, Division 3 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, playing aggressively and stealing the ball. Buckets by Rey Miller and the With six seniors playing their fi-nal game in the Bethel uniform, the Royal basketball team bowed to Gustavus 79-75 Wednesday in the Robertson Center. The game had no effect on post-season possibilities since St. John's had won its game Tuesday night, eliminating Bethel from the playoffs. Dave Blanchard, Rey Miller, Tom Weko, Scott Wilson, Gary Edlund, and Steve Carrigan will graduate this year. All but Edlund by Phil Almeroth 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 away from us they have to give us somewhere else. They can't con-centrate on anyone or any one thing." and Carrigan were regulars throughout their four-year career. Wednesday Blanchard and Mil-ler, two of the top scoreres in 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. On Jan. 22 the men's one-on-one tournament was held. In all, 35 players entered the tourna-ment. Brian Doten, Todd Chap-man, Dan Dye and Peter Sauffer-er reached the semi-final round and Chapman defeated Dye 11-9 to win the championship. That wasn't the only first place that "Chapper" won. On Thurs-day of the same week Chapman, Jerry Black and Scott Engstrom defeated Doten, Dye and Steve Johnson to win the three-on-three charr pion3hip. Also held at the same time was the free throw championship won by Dave Hep-burn who made 49 of 50 free throws. Women's basketball also went on during the last month. The 30 who played constituted the largest turnout for IM women's basket-ball in several years. 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 Runion, Betsy Koonce, Julie Murphy, Sue Eppinga and Karen Evans. There are many activities corn-ing soon for all who would like to 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. by Steve Erickson 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.
