Vol. 55 No. 14 Bethel College, St.Paul, MN January 25, 1980 Substantial tuition increase for next year This past December, Bethel's Board of Regents authorized a 14 per cent payroll increase at Bethel to offset the effects of inflation on , faculty and staff income. This is not an across-the-board increase, as some of the money will be used for promotions and other raises. At the same meeting, the board authorized a tuition increase and set a ceiling of 14 per cent. The tuition increase primarily reflects inflation, but also pro-gram advances, including staff and curriculum increases. The Board of Regents approved the addition of six full-time facul-ty positions next year. There are also several positions to be filled that have been vacant this year. The dean's office is seeking fa-culty in the biology, Bible, psy-by Paul Olsen Following Bethel Board of Re-gents' recommendations, the dean's office today announced a substantial increase in tuition, room and board for-1980-81. The announcement was made through a statement in each student's mailbox. According to a draft of the by Shari Goddard Early in February, four people will investigate Bethel' as part of an accreditation-renewal process. During Feb. 4-6, the representa-tives of the North Central Asso-ciation of Colleges and Schools will "have access to virtually everything at Bethel," said Dwight Jessup, director of aca-demic affairs in the dean's office. Accreditation, which Bethel re-ceived in 1959, is recognition of a college meeting national standards of education. It is the highest form of approval available to a college and it considers all sides of the college, from curriculum to administrative efficiency. Although accreditation is vo-luntary, few colleges decide against applying for it. Accredita-tion of a school is important for graduates seeking employment or entrance to graduate school. "We need it for our school graduates to have any kind of cur-rency on the academic market-place," said Tom Johnson, educa-tion professor and faculty coor-dinator. Every ten years schools with ac-creditation are reviewed. During the past year, Bethel has been pre-paring a 543-page self study to use during the review. Johnson is chairman of the steering commit-tee that served as first editor of the statement, tuition will be raised $410 to $3400, room charges in-creased $100 to $800, and mini-mum board costs boosted $75 to $625 per year. This $585 increase amounts to nearly a 14 per cent raise over this year's costs, the biggest in recent Bethel history. According to Director of Finan-cial Aid Dan Nelson, however, up to two thirds of present students study, using guidelines given by the North Central Association. Each accredited school must have clearly-stated purposes and the facilities and staff to carry them out. They must show that they have and will continue to meet these purposes. Through the self study, Bethel explains how it has met the requirements. "We have confidence that we have done a good job," said Jess-up. Each part of the report was edited at least twice, and those sections dealing with faculty were discussed in three open faculty hearings. The study doesn't cover only Bethel's strengths. "At the end of each section, we had to assess what we saw as strengths and areas needing growth," said John-son. The review committee, all vol-unteers from other colleges, will try to test the accuracy of the self study. This may include talking to students and employees, searching through files and checking records gathered for their inspection and just looking around. "I think it's important that students are can-did," said Johnson. He added that our Christian goals, because they were part of our purpose, can also be evaluated. "They want to make sure we've told the truth and that we've told should receive a big enough boost in financial aid to cover the higher tuition. Dean George Brushaber, a cen-tral figure in the budgeting pro-cess, said much of the unprece-dented increase is due to the na-tion's spiraling inflation, which outraced Bethel's predicted 7.8 per cent inflationary increase. Though many costs, such as mort-gages on campus buildings, are fixed, salaries rise with the cost of living. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the consumer price index rose 12.6 per cent from Nov. '78 to Nov. '79. Because a college is a labor intensive enter-prise, a cost-of-living increase in faculty and staff salaries dictates a substantial raise in a school's bud-get. by Joy Nannette Banta As the last week of interim 1980 approaches, Bethel College and Seminary gear up for yet another Founders Week celebration with the theme, "The Spirit of Truth... Comes." "Whenever and wherever the everything," Jessup said. He add-ed that while the investigators carry some threat, they are also a great help. "This forces you to take an overall look at your insti-tution." Through this process, Bethel can be compared to other schools now and to itself ten years ago. With the move to new campus, in-creased enrollment and more fa-culty, there has been much change in those ten years. "I think we're coming from a very strong posi-tion," Johnson said. chology, business, physical educa-tion, physics, chemistry, art, phil-osophy, soc. work, sociology, speech, theatre and nursing de-partments to keep up with enroll-ment jumps. In general, the nursing program is not seen as contributing to the program cost increase. The ex-pected 80 nursing students will take only general courses in the first two years, and, according to a feasibility study of the program, revenue from the program will ba-lance costs next year. Much of the increased room costs reflect an attempt to avoid some of the deficit incurred by off-campus housing.

He has written over 55 books on the theology of Chris-tianity. Lockyer was formerly as-sociated with Moody Bible In-stitute and carried on an extensive Bible lecturing ministry across the U.S. and Canada. Lockyer said, "I'm very grateful that at my advanced age I still have my faculties. It's better to last out than wear out. Guess I'm doing both." Lockyer will speak on "The Ideal Preacher," "The Most Re-markable Prayer Ever Prayed," and "The Ten Strings." Shadrach Meshach Lockridge will speak during Monday's even-ing inspiration at 7:30 on "Busi-ness and Benediction of the Church," and during the Wednes-day campus worship hour on "Amen!" He will also talk about "Daring to Live for Christ" at the men's luncheon on Thursday af-ternoon. Lockridge has been the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, San Diego, Calif., for 27 years. He is the moderator for the Progressive Baptist District Association of Southern California and president of the California Baptist State Convention. Lockridge, a native Texan, has preached in crusades, revivals and evangelical rallies in North and South America, Asia, Africa, - Europe, and the Caribbean.

The planning commit-tee has already met together and started working on the 1980 graduation. The committee is made up of two faculty members, Dwight Jessup and Curt Fauth, and the rest are members of the 1980 Senior class: Greg Kaihoi, Deb Ol-sen, Tannie Woods, Cory Dahl, Steven Hoswell, Steve Fischer and Suzi Wells. May 25 is the date set for com-mencement. The music for the evening will be performed by the Bethel Male Chorus. The speaker will be Oregon Senator Mark Hat-field. Hatfield is a well known evangelical speaker who often speaks at colleges around the country. The 1980 graduating class con-sists of approximately 320 Bache-lor of Arts graduates and a small number of Associate of Arts grad-uates. Commencement for these grad-uates will take place in the Bethel fieldhouse. Unfortunately, due to the lack of space, each graduating senior will only receive four tick-ets for family members to attend the commencement exercises. the Clarion Page 2 editorial Bethel handles cost increase well This week's announcement of student costs for 1980-81 marks a break with Bethel's usual practice of waiting till late spring to announce the next year's expenses. It establishes Bethel as one of the first colleges to set prices for the coming year. Though the decision was long in the making, the Bethel administration acted wisely in disclosing the necessary tuition increases as quickly as possible. The budgeting process for each school year begins over a year before the start of the fall semester in September. The Board of Regents began working on the 1980-81 budget in March 1979. Last March the board issued guidelines to be used by Dean Brushaber in setting faculty salaries for 80-81. Then during the summer, the major fixed protions of the budget were delineated, with money assigned for mortgages, pension plans, utilities, insurance and the like. In September the board suggested an increase in faculty salaries of 10 per cent, along with a non-salary budget increase of 10 per cent and a 10 per cent student cost increase over 979-80. But, according to Brushaber, through the fall it became apparent that the inflation rate was approaching 14 per cent. In late November Brushaber presented the Board of Regents with a preliminary 80-81 budget based on a 10 per cent increase. On Dec. 1 the board authorized a 14 per cent payroll increase, which includes social security raises and promotions, and an increase in student cost, setting a ceiling at 14 per cent. Wary of student reaction to any secrecy in tuition policy, the dean and the President's Advisory Council (consisting of President Lund-quist, Vice President for Business Affairs Burt Wessman, Vice President for Public Affairs Jim Bragg, Dan Nelson, Mack Nettleton and Brushaber) decided to announce the cost increase to student leaders dur-ing interim, as soon as all the pieces of the financial puzzle could be fit together. In mid-January the Baptist General Conference announced an in-crease in its contribution from $840,000 to just over $1 million— the last puzzle piece. On Jan. 10, President Lundquist told Brushaber that all the necessary major pieces had been fit together, and asked him to meet with the students as soon as possible. On Wednesday, Jan. 16, Brushaber, Dan Nelson, Nettleton, Vice President Jim Bragg, Brownlee and Jessup met with student senate leaders Steven Hoswell and Susan Stone and Clarion editor Paul Olsen to discuss the cost increase. At the meeting the announcement's time and manner of the release were much-discussed issues. At the close of the two-hour meeting a poll showed at least six of the eight present agreeing to relase the information via the Clarion and an official dean's memo (required by law) concur-rently- 7as soon as possible—with the stipulation that the Clarion do an intensive job of research. Arguments against such early release included the absence of many students during interim, the proximity of the announcement to Founders' Week, the fact that a light interim schedule would give students more time to get worked up about the increase, the absence of exact comparative figures as yet, and the Clarion's history of "poor research," with most of the dissent from one of the student represen-tatives. The administrators, however, agreed that they should not wait until the currents of student opinion looked promising to break the news, because the information is vital to the students. The only request was that those present not discuss the cost increase with students until the announcement and Clarion article, as a deterrent to inflated rumors. The only real delay in announcing the increase was the Clarion's week-long production schedule. We feel the increases are necessary and congratulate the Bethel ad-ministration for their handling the announcement of the information. By setting the prices early and quickly releasing the information to the students, the administrators showed a confidence that the student body would react fairly to the increase, and a conference that the increases are well-warranted. They also showed responsibility as trustees of students' money and welfare; they recognized the students' right to know about financial matters. We applaud this as a step in the right direction and sincerely hope that students will play an even greater role in budget procedures in the future.

In response, the commission presented presidential aide Stuart E. Eizenstat with a list of principle recommendations. These recommendations would require the federal government to spend $178 million more than the $67 million appropriated in fiscal 1979 for all levels of foreign language and international studies. The panel made numerous re-commendations concerning foreign language, international educational exchanges, business and labor needs, kindergarten- 12th grade, and college and uni-versity programs. Among them- * Schools, colleges and univer-sities should reinstate foreign language requirements. * The Department of Educa-tion should provide "incentive funding" in the form of yearly grants of $40 for each college stu-dent enrolled in a third- or fourth-year language class. * Colleges and universities should require two to three courses in international studies for all Bachelor's candidates, aside from the language requirements. * The Department of Educa-tion should fund 200 undergrad-uate international studies pro-grams at an average of $400 thou-sand each annually.

Inflation, already settling down in double-digits, is felt by one and all. As can be seen by the newly an-nounced tuition hikes, Bethel is not immune to the 13 per cent an-nual inflation rate that has come down hard on the United States in the past year. The money pinch is being passed on to students as the administration finds it increasing-ly difficult to cut costs and keep the budget down. Several obvious areas of in-crease are detected at Bethel, some of which are directly felt by stu-dents and others which burden students indirectly. Inflation soars even at Bethel Tuition raised, aid increases any amount remains, Bethel at- students and are interest-free until tempts to cover it with an award graduation. of its own.

Bethel costs rank 15th of 16 in the Minnesota Council, while ranking near the bottom of the Christian colleges as well. Even with the large increase, Bethel is expected to retain its position because of similar increases expected in other schools. In an informal survey of Bethel's competition, Gordon, Wheaton, Houghton, Taylor and Trinity, Nelson discovered that Bethel's projected costs are lower than all except one, which is attempting to get by on a 9 per cent increase. The other schools range from $100 to $700 more than Bethel. For comparison, Nelson used $3400 for tuition, $800 for room and $830 for board (see Clarion, Nov. 16, for further comparison). The single course fee was set at $455 for part-time students, a fi-gure which Brushaber says com-pares favorably with other MIAC schools. Bethel administrators also point out that costs are computed with reference to 3-year progression, so no student is saddled with a huge increase in two consecutive years. In the three year period 1978-81, Bethel tuition has risen at an 8.6 average annual rate. from page 1 Silver Crest do not meet the cost of their housing. These residents are, then, in effect, being subsi-dized from other sources. Though board costs next year were set at $625, the college does not view this as representing the cost of eating while at school. The board cost represents only the minimum participation in Bethel's food service. (See Jan. 18 for fur-ther explanation of board costs). According to Nelson, the average student at Bethel is expected to spend about $830 on food, a figure used in calculating financial aid packages. By adding tuition, room, expected food costs, books and supplies and miscellaneous expenses, Nelson calculates that a year at Bethel col-lege will cost $5850 in 1980-81. Bethel will advertise this figure in its catalogs as actual cost, near-ly 14 per cent above last year's catalog cost. "But," said Nelson, "for the two-thirds of the Bethel students who now get traditional aid, the bulk of the increase will be offset . " In order to determine financial awards, the financial aid office determines a student's "need." Next year Nelson will start with $5850 as total cost, and then sub-tract the amount he determines the student's family should be able to pay. Then he will subtract any work study or scholarship or grant from an outside source. If This year Bethel budgeted $525,000 for financial aid. Next year that amount will be raised 22 per cent to $640,000. Nelson also hopes for a 20 per cent increase in campus-based money from the federal govern-ment, which is used to fund Na-tional Direct Student Loans, Sup-plementary grants and work study programs (where the government supplies 80 cents on the dollar and Bethel 20 cents). In addition, federal and state grant policies continue to be liberalized in the wake of the Middle Income Stu-dent Assistance Act of November 1978. Presently 644 Bethel students receive federal Basic Grants, with awards averaging $1040. Accor-ding to Nelson, 55-60 per cent of all students receive some sort of grant or scholarship, and this should increase to nearly two-thirds next year. The average aid package (for the two-thirds), "will go up more than $600," said Nelson. The one-third above financial aid will bear the full effect of the tuition in-crease. Nelson said he is concerned that all students apply for aid, and that those who do not get traditional-type scholarships or grants apply for a Guaranteed Student Loan. These loans are available to all Tuition, room and board, books and supplies have increased substantially, while health care and insurance and fuel costs have also taken a turn for the high side of the scales. The former are directly absorbed by students, while the latter are indirectly covered. Marvin Fuller, manager of pur-chasing and bookstore, and Wan-da Nelson, assistant bookstore manager, both responded to the question of rising inflation costs in the bookstore. - It is very hard to give hard fi-gures for cost increases in the bookstore, Fuller said. Many books stay at the same price from year to year but other books go up several dollars, even from semes-ter to semester, he said. "One could follow the prices of any two major textbooks from one year to the next and see what happens to the price, but mass market publishing is very different from commercial publishing," said Nelson. "Some books would increase by as much as $5, but that is not a true picture to say that all books increase because they don't," she added. "We can't come up with actual percentages for cost increases," said Fuller, "It would be too diffi-cult," added Nelson. Prices on basic school supplies other than books have also been increased, but no definite figures can be given. Bic pens, for exam-ple, have gone up about 10 cents. Jim Woods Another expense that has felt the impact of inflation is faculty and staff benefits. Personnel Director Art McCleary said that health and life insurance costs have increased substantially in re-cent months. "Health insurance costs were up in October from $16.47 per month for single employees, and $40.15 per month for employees with families, to the present rate of $20 and $50 respectively," he said. Bethel pays two-thirds of the cost of health insurance, which means that single employees must pay $10 per month, while employ-ees with families pay $25 per • month. Life insurance costs have in-creased from 19 cents to 20 cents per $1000 of coverage. McCleary said this expense is paid monthly, with employees receiving coverage amounting to one and one-half times their annual salary. For ex-ample, an employee with a salary of $20,000 receives coverage amounting to $30,000, which costs Bethel $6 per month. McCleary added that in addi-tion to the rate increase, salaries have also increased, which drives up the costs even more. Social Security costs are ano-ther employee expense. "The base tax rate has stayed the same, but because salaries have risen, so have the amount of taxes paid." The tax rate is currently 12.26 per cent with Bethel and the employee each paying one-half, or 6.13 per cent each. "Originally, any earnings above $18,000 per year were not taxed, but as of January 1, the ceiling was lifted to $25,000. This is just another added expense that we will have to pay," he said. Jim Woods, director of physical plant, said that fuel oil costs have nearly doubled within the past year. Last year oil averaged 43 cents per gallon. The most recent quote on oil costs found the price at a staggering 82.5 cents per gallon. That increase falls back on students without them ever know-ing it. - Bethel burns natural gas when-ever the temperature is above 20 ° F. during the winter heating sea-son. When the temperature drops below that mark Bethel is forced to switch to an alternate source, fuel oil, because Bethel is an in-terruptable consumer. When the temperature drops, greater sup-plies of natural gas are needed to heat residential areas. "We have had a very good win-ter for heating," said Woods. "We have only burned 6000 gal-lons of oil this year—eight full days of heating—and we are alrea-dy halfway through the season," he said. Bethel usually burns over 45,000 gallons of oil during one heating season. Last year was a hard heating season and thus oil consumption was up. While the price of oil has almost doubled, natural gas prices have only increased by 6.45 per cent. The total fuel costs for last year were over $34,000. According to Woods, if we have as bad a winter this year as we did last year, which is already unlikely, total fuel costs for this year will be between $50,000 and $60,000. As it stands, Bethel will probab-ly come closer to the smaller fi-gure unless the price of oil rises substantially between now and the end of the month when more oil will need to be purchased. "I can't quote exact figures be-cause fuel charges fluctuate and the market is very unstable," Woods said. Overall, Bethel is doing well be-cause of the mild winter this year, yet inflation's pinch is felt more with every gallon of oil purchased.

Beverly LaHaye by Joy Nannette Banta Last month, as a result of im-proper policing of the key, a great grand master key to Bethel was lost. Thus every lock in the master system of the college buildings has been changed. An analysis of the key situation revealed that things were so bad that "we may as well have left every door unlocked," said Jim Woods, director of physical plant. Although the locks have been changed, it does not affect the in-dividual keys to the doors, but the old great grand master will not work. This change affects all ex-terior doors as well. No old key will work on exterior doors. "We have received a lot of flack from faculty because of - the change," said Woods. But the loss of the master key points up the Trinity Baptist Church Welcomes You 220 Edgerton Street at Hwy. 36 St. Paul, MN 55117 774-8609 Rev. Hartley Christensen Rev.

"The Spirit of Truth...Comes" and Bethel is ready to receive it. necessity of good maintenance of security of keys, Woods said. Now exterior door keys and master keys are being issued only with vice-presidential approval, said Woods. "It is not that we don't trust the professors to be re-sponsible, but there has to be con-trol. Control is the most impor-tant aspect of the situation," he added. The deposit for keys has also been up-graded from $1 to $5. The higher charge, according to Woods, is in an effort to get stu-dents to return their keys. Keys are issued to students but end up being transferred to other students when they graduate or leave school. This increases the loss of control of security. Woods said that it is important to remember that no maintenance people are permitted to open doors without permission from a professor within the department. "Students should not request my people to open doors. It puts them in an awkward position," Woods said. - by Mari Broman A food service without manda-tory participation? "I wouldn't run it," said Wayne Erickson, co-director. According to Erickson it would be impossible to give stu-dents good quality food, fast ser-vice and still break even by guess-ing at how often and how much students would eat in the cafe-teria. "You've got to force students into eating. You've got to guar-antee they'll spend that much money on your campus in order to make it," he said. Erickson said other food service directors wonder how he can make a food service like Bethel's operate now with such a low bud-get. "They can't figure out how we can even come near to break-ing even, and they wouldn't want to try." But, he said, with any other program the students would end up paying one way or another. Eliminating mandatory participa-tion, would mean a budget reduc-tion thus making fewer opportun-ities for student workers. Food services could not cut full-time staff since it is now operating with approximately the same number of full-timers as when Be-thel was on old campus. Erickson said fewer student employees would result in slower service, lar-ger cash register and serving lines and vacuuming the dining area once a day rather than after each meal. "The place would look tackier and no one would be hap- PY." An all-you-can-eat system similar to that of Trinity College, in Deerfield, Illinois,would im-mediately add $200,000 to this year's $500,000 food-purchasing budget, increasing the student's fee by $100. Wayne Erickson Operating food service like a restaurant with cash and no ad-vance payments would not be feasible, said Erickson. Res-taurant operation is the "highest-risk business in the nation," he Rent Refrigerators Perfect for Dorms $14.95/mo. or $35.00/sem. (We also rent color TV's) STANDARD RENTS FURNITURE 3000 University Ave. SE 331.4020 8 Blks. E. of Univ. of Minn. said. Because of more guesswork and greater chances of miscalculating how much food to prepare, food service would have to raise prices. The college's food service would phase itself out, as does any busi-ness with few patrons. "Students would probably go spend their money elsewhere;" said Erickson. But, said Erickson, "I would give any student their full money back off the food cards that they hadn't used and tell them to go eat somewhere else and predict they'd probably run out of food. If they did make it, they would be eating very poorly." According to Erickson, Bethel has committed itself to "making sure the student is eating nutri-tional meals," as part of meeting the student's physical needs dur-ing his/her college career. "There's no way a student can eat a nutritional meal and still have leftover food cards," said Erickson. However, unlike some schools, students can transfer any unused cards to another student. And Be-thel refunds 100% of unused cards to students who withdraw, whereas most schools refund only a percentage, Erickson added. No school gives rebates to continuing students, he said. Erickson wishes complaining students would remember that "there's more cost in running a food service than just feeding peo-ple, purchasing and making food." He said, for example, that a dinner plate costs about $4. If students are dissatisfied, Erickson encourages them to put a note on the Expressions Board in the dining center. He responds to all signed complaints. Those interested in serving on a student advisory committee should contact Erickson or the student senate. The committee has 10 positions still available. S.M.

Students begin glancing over their shoulders as if to see a mass of germs heading to-ward them. Uninformed, people wonder why students irrationally fear this season. Flu, they point out, has no biases; the bugs attack all ages. This is true, but no person battling the flu at home can know the total helplessness of being sick while away at school. When people get sick at home, everything needed to nurse their way back to health is conveniently near. Medicines litter the cabinets of most American homes. Healthy, digestable food over-flows in an average household. If cabin fever sets in, a wide variety of activities—television, books, radio and Monopoly lie within easy reach. Patients at home lie on beds designed for maximum comfort When fevers of chills rage, the thermostat adjusts easily. While a sick person at home wallows in luxury, students sick at college fight for the basics of sur-vival. Long, bumpy rides on Frigi-daire buses link many students with their only medicine supply: the college infirmary. Armed with Robitussin and throat lozenges, and after suffering the indignity of a throat culture, a flu-struck student staggers home. He can crawl under wrinkled sheets to out-stare those malicious bugs. The variety of entertain-ment in a dorm room ranges from writing home about how miser-able one is, to catching up on a ris-ing backlog of homework. The tide and mid-terms wait for no man. Healthy, practical food is an-other scarce commodity at school. Popcorn and soda, a normal stu-dent's staples, do not sit well in a protesting stomach. While roasted peanuts, beef jerky and dill pick-les may have been favorites be-fore, they suddenly cause radically different reactions. Transporting food from cam-pus cafeterias raises unique prob-lems; a fact obvious to anyone who has tried, and failed, to carry jello home on a bus. This also ap-plies to carrying a bowl of vegeta-ble soup down campus halls. For a sick student, the normal discomforts of school life magni-fy. Already lumpy beds become as horrifying as a pea patch to any real princess. Drafty hallways and windows make a comfortable tem-perature impossible. Thermostats typically remain controlled by un-known powers. Certain rooms have additional problems. Bunk beds, for in-stance, pose uncomfortable pos-sibilities when the top occupant open column Total commitment means taking step beyond norm by Wyatt Waterman I visited a church this past summer. A most unusual church. What made this church so unusual laws not its building, its pastor, or even its choir, but rather its congregation. While the people appeared normal physically (short hair and suits and ties), the concerns they demonstrated for their pastor and fellow be-lievers was quite extraordinary. You see, no less than half the congregation would arrive at church at least an hour before the service began. You may think, "Well, that's not so unusual, I normally get to church half an hour before I have to." The strange thing about these people is that upon their arrival at church they immediately started praying in the pews and also in specially designed prayer rooms. They prayed for their pastor, their brothers and sisters in the Lord, their unsaved friends, and also for themselves. They did not stop there, however. After the service they prayed. They prayed that God would use the message they had just heard to strengthen their walks with Him. They also interceded for anyone who expressed a need. I must say that the entire congregation did not pray before and after each service, but enough of them did to make that church a special place of friendship. I easily saw the love of Jesus in the eyes, hearts, and faces of these brothers and sisters. I had finally had first-hand experience with a con-gregation that was "sold-out" to the Lord. It was difficult to leave this place of worship. I am not writing about this experience in order to praise the efforts of a particular congregation over and against congregations of this area. I am, however, trying to show Christians that members of a church who claim to be of God should give their whole lives to Him. As Christians, God does not call, us to simply put in our time of "spiritualization" at Wednesday night Bible studies and Sunday morn-ing worship services. He instead calls us, as Paul so aptly writes in Romans 12: lb, "to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and ac-ceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." I learned this summer from God through this congregation that we, as Christians, have to be willing to follow Jesus that extra step. This extra step may mean coming to church early in order to pray. It may mean reaching out to a brother or sister with a need. It may just be reading our Bibles ten minutes more each day. Whatever step it is, God will be there. Without that reaching out to Him (and to others through Him), how can we ever hope to remain par-takers of His grace. Edna Hong, author and translator of Soren Kierkegaard spoke on 'Saga Stories' to the Scan-dinavia Through Folklore class Tues., Jan. 15. Flu brings solitude without sympathy must carry a pan to bed. Sympathy, an overflowing com-modity at home, is scarce on cam-puses. The fear of flu bugs over-rides sympathetic intentions as other students make wide paths around any sick friend's door. Friends may try to appear under-standing, but the fear in their eyes when a sick person stands close enough for bugs to jump, always gives them away. For a college student, coveted sympathy re-mains elusive. Those who have never suffered sickness while away from home and family do not, and never will, understand the flu fears of college students. The mere mention of the word causes a hush and shudder in the most confident of students. They could be next. No one as-sumes the bugs only strike others, for as sure as winter comes, the flu season follows.

Johnson (portrayed above in caricature) led a group of 24 Bethelites on a four-day combined tour/mural painting experience in Chicago last weekend. The class, Walls: Image/Imagination, stayed at Skokie Valley Baptist Church in Skokie, Ill. while in Chicago, and spent about nine hours creating a wall mural for the church sanc-tuary. Adding the finishing touches a Wall The painting process begins... The completed piece after the unveiling Peek's album not peak of career by John van Vloten By now the majority of us know that Dan Peek, formerly of "America," is a Christian—par-don me, a Christian musician. Now is not the time to argue what makes music Christian, if such a thing can ever be resolved. No, it is time to decide whether Dan Peek's music is good music. Ob-viously it will be a slanted decision as only I get to put in my two bits. That's life. First off, let me say that despite the rumors that I profoundly dis-like any music that cannot be appreciated at over 90 decibels, I rather liked the music that Peek & Co. put out as America. It was pop music and it didn't say a whole lot, but I liked it none-the-less. After I discovered that Peek was a real live Christian, I eagerly pored over my old America al-bums to find out which songs he wrote. I was curious as to whether the lyrics would reveal a search for meaning, or the buds that would later bloom into faith. What I found was interesting. One of Peek's best cuts contained lyrics along these lines: This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky... `Cause I'm on my way back home. Now I don't know what you read into this; whether "silver cup" represents communion in some way, or whether that "high-way in the sky" bespeaks the big round-up rapture toward Heaven, but the symbolism certainly is ap-pealing. At any rate, to play with the lyrics, Dan Peek is clearly on his "way back home." So much for Dan's "secular" music, but what of his new stuff? Is his album, "All Things Are Possible," a good album? Well, some folks think it's a great al-bum. These people also like the Imperials, Debby Boone, and Evie. What I am tactfully and lovingly trying to say is that Dan Peek has put out a good, bland al-bum. It is an album which will not offend anyone, but it is question-able as to whether it will inspire anyone either. It is largely an album of love songs. This in itself is not a bad thing, and I admit that when I first became a Christian, my poe-try was largely of the "Boy, I sure love you God. Sure glad I'm sav-ed" variety. As such I am hardly in a position to throw stones. It would be nice, however, if Dan Peek had spent a few years in plumbing the depths of his faith before releasing an album, but the man had to eat, right? The music, apart from lyrics, is softish pop, with one rocky ex-ception. It is a nice album to listen to, although the markings of a Christian production can imme-diately be sensed. One wonders how the album would have come out if Dan had gone to Solid Rock and had Larry Norman produc-ing. Oh well, what's done is done. Dan Peek is coming to Bethel at eight o'clock on the 26th of this month—tomorrow. Despite what I have said about this album, I'll warrant that it will be a concert which you will not want to miss. Peek has a wealth of experience with live concerts and the man is an excellent guitarist. Although he was by no means the only "lead vocalist" in America, he was the most active guitarist. Perhaps he can even be teased into singing some of his old stuff, who knows? At least in live concert Dan won't have to compete with those syrupy strings for top billing. by Joy Nannette Banta Senior Beth Ekberg will per-form in a voice recital on Mon-day, February 4, at 8 p.m. in the seminary chapel, as part of her fulfillment of the requirements for a B.A. in applied music. Ekberg will be accompanied on the piano and the harpsichord by Karen Thomas in her musical ren-ditions in five different languages. "I will be doing music from every different era—from Renais-sance to Baroque to Impressionis-tic to Contemporary Twentieth Century," said Ekberg. Music by Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Brahms, Volf and others will find its way into the evening's perfor-mance. With French romantic music and Spanish tonadillas, the music from the twentieth century will add a lighter more humorous note to the recital, according to Ek-berg. Everyone is invited to the re-cital, especially those returning from the post-interim break early, said Ekberg.

When two-inch puddles started appearing on the rinks, IM coordinators Janet Peterson and Steve Fischer went to the prayer chapel and prayed for cold weather. At a recent game at the McDonald's rink, someone hit the ball over the fence and it rolled down on Snelling Ave. When a player chased it, he saw a car stop, a man get out and grab the ball, and yell, "Thanks for the ball" as he drove off. The car and Two wins lift Royals into third The Royal basketball team con-tinued its progression up the MIAC ladder, moving into third place after wins over St. Olaf and Hamline. The blue and gold's record now stands at 5-2 in con-ference play, ranking them behind undefeated Augsburg and St. John's. At Hamline, a loud visiting Bethel crowd went wild as the Runnin' Royals ran up a 23-point lead 15 minutes into the game. But a fine Piper team fought back, narrowing the margin to 13 by halftime and eventually knotting the score midway through the se-cond half. Some timely buckets by Dave Blanchard, who finished with 20 points, put the Royals out front again. Hamline came back but Bethel held on for a 73-72 win. Gary Edlund added 18 and Tom Weko 12. Bethel pays at Gustavus tomor-row night. Next home game is next Saturday in an important rematch with St. John's. Hockey cont. from p. 8 Bethel. Dave Johnson had two assists and Feltman had one. Steve Larson and Eric Petersen were named Bethel players of the week. "We need to work on discipline in our attitudes and the way we play," said Feltman. "We've got a lot of talent, but we haven't been playing well consistantly." Bethel has three conference games away before their next home game. Wednesday they play St. Johns, whom they beat earlier in the season, 5-3. "Having beat them the first time, they are going to want to stick it to us," said Feltman. "We'll have to play like we're playing a first place team." The next home game is Friday, February 1, against Gustavus. Game time is 8 p.m. at Columbia Arena in Fridley. by Mary Beth Larson and Bob Schmidt This will be an "action-packed" weekend with one of the most exciting activities of the year to take place. Friday night we'll all go roller-skating at the Saints Rosedale rink from midnight to 2 a.m. Buses will leave NC at 11:30 p.m. and OC, FT, and SC at approximately 11:45 p.m. The cost will be $1.50 for an evening of good music, good fun and good fellowship. Join us! Saturday evening brings the big-gest concert of the year. Dan Peek will perform with his band in Be-thel's fieldhouse at 8 p.m. Peek was guitarist for the rock group "America" for several years. His latest popular song, "All Things Are Possible," hit the charts last October. The lead-on performers are Gerry Limpic and Scott Parrish. Limpic formerly traveled here from California with "Limpic and Rayburn," but they parted, and Limpic is now performing with Parrish. They performed at Bethel a few years ago and were highly recommended to return. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $3.50 in advance or $4.00 at the door. This concert is going to be terrific! Our singspiration, on Sunday evenings at 9 p.m., will be really special this month. "Sonfire" will minister to us for about an hour. Join us in the gym for a special time of fellowship. What an ex-cellent way to begin the last week of interim! This is a fun-filled weekend. Get involved and really enjoy yourself.

Page 8 sports by Steve Erickson With nearly one-third of the students participating, broomball has become Bethel's most popular sport ever. Over 600 students and 42 teams are well into the eight game season that ends Feb. 14. The teams are divided into two divisions: Artic and Nordic. Within each division are three conferences, aptly nam-ed: Seal, Penguin, Husky, Walrus, White Fox, and Polar Bear. With original team names like the Denuvian Slime Devils, Nanuck's Block Ice Co., and the Kooter Whatters, and old stand-byes like Dog Breath, Richie Valiance Jr. High, and Big Guns II, the league is off to its best start ever. Defending champions, the But-chers, again look like the team to beat. The meatcutters are undefeated (3-0), slicing through Kooter Whatters 5-0 in a recent game to keep their goals against at zero. A number of other teams look tough, such as the Rink Rats, a team that existed last year. The Moberg, Mogck, Held gang even went so far as to plan a team retreat in the offseason to plan strategy. It seems to be paying off, as the rodents are 2-0-1. Other teams to beat include Jon Fast and the Broom Pistols and the Gingers, both 3-0. And the word is out that the dark horse this season may be Big Guns II. Family, a brilliant defensive team from last year has not been resurrected this time around, but remnants of the group are to be found in Wounded Knee, led by the gregarious Brad Nelson. In recent action, Dad's Broom Brawlers nipped AwSomnity 2-1 in a teaser. Lords of the Rings weren't lord-of-the-rink, bowing to Scoops on John Van Vloten's goal. Richie Valiance Jr. High whipped Brohams 5-0 and the Swedish Sweeps topped A-3 and Co. in other games. Paul Har-rison's three tallies paced Meyer's Maulers to a 6-0 win over Rosedale Connection plus four. The squeakers of the week had to be the Royal Stuffers (all freshmen) stuff of the Beeker Bunch 12-0 on Craig Haugen's 5 goals and Pete Barker's 4 tallies.

The Royals have gone from a 1-5 season record before the break to an even 6-6 record by adding St. Theresa's and Normandale to the list of victories. Bethel overwhelmed St. Theresa in every department on the way to a lopsided 71-46 win. The Royals continued to dominate with an ag-gressive defense by out-rebounding St. Theresa almost 2-1, and stealing the ball 26 times from the intimidated and para-noid opponent. Katie Miller led the balanced scoring attack with 12 points, and the rest of the team followed close behind in the evenly-distributed scoring effort. Linda Johnson scored 11, Beth Karsjens and Les-lie Smith each added ten, and are undefeated. But things will change, because the Auggies and Tommies wrestled this weekend. Bethel's dual meet record stands at 9-2 overall. Bethel, a team of today, is also the team of tomorrow. Freshmen manned seven of the ten weight own. Bethel appeared to have scored a fourth goal to move in front, but the goal was disallowed because the net had been bumped out of place as the goal was scored. In the third period, Bethel had several penalties, and Hamline went on to win the game 5-3 on two powerplay goals. Steve Larson, Scott Larson, and Scott Feltman each scored for cont. on p. 7 Joann Griffin followed with nine points. Smith led in the rebounding de-partment with 13, and freshman Doreen Almeroth grabbed ten. "We simply out-played them across the boards," said Coach Marcia LaRock. "Everyone got a chance to play, so it was a good team effort. It was a good chance to see the whole team in game ac-tion." Normandale found that their only hope against the aggressive Royal defense was luck with the outside shot, but a switch to player-to-player defense destroyed those hopes, and Normandale eventually lost to the Royals 55-44. "We should have pulled away even more, but their outside shot kept them in the game," said La- Rock. "They didn't score more than four or six points against us underneath. But our switch in de-fense in the second half shut down those outside shots." classes last week in three convinc-ing wins. Only Rich Hodge and Lonnie Holmgren will graduate this year. Paul Frandsen and Russ Reynolds were named wrestlers of the week for their achievements. Frandsen recorded three pins last week in keeping a perfect win-loss record. The freshman from Spring Valley also leads the team in falls. Reynolds, another freshman, won by pin twice. He is just recovering from an injury to his elbow. Mike Jacoby and Ben McEachern continued filling in well for injured captains Greg Heinsch and Holmgren. Jocoby (6-0) won twice while McEachern took two out of three matches. Kirk Walters pinned the Carleton wrestler and tied Hamline. He also moved from his usual 126 weight class to 134 and won against St. Olaf. Greg Widmer recorded wins against Carleton and Hamline at 134 but was rested versus the Oles. The Royals led by only three at halftime, but Katie Miller turned the game around defensively in the second half by denying Nor-mandale's leading scorer any more points. In her spare time, she also was the leading rebounder with 12, and scored ten points. Joann Griffin had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Beth Karsjens added 11 points to the total effort. "One of the highlights was the fact that we had 17 assists," said LaRock. "We're doing a better job of seeing the open people, which will continue to help us from here on." Macalester has forfeited to-night's game and the Royals close out January with away games at Gustavus and Northwestern on Tuesday and Thursday. The team will then travel to Chicago over in-terim break for games with Trinity and Wheaton. They return home for a game on February 6th with Carleton. At 167, Brian Halstrom beat his man in the Carleton meet but then wrestled the two best men in con-ference Saturday and lost both. Jon Martin may be back in that slot this weekend. Three times winning by forfeit, Hodge stayed undefeated. Some coaches will not put marginal wrestlers against him, chosing in-stead to forfeit the weightclass. Tomorrow the Royals face St. Mary's and St. John's in a three-team meet in the gym.

Vol. 55 No. 14 Bethel College, St.Paul, MN January 25, 1980 Substantial tuition increase for next year This past December, Bethel's Board of Regents authorized a 14 per cent payroll increase at Bethel to offset the effects of inflation on , faculty and staff income. This is not an across-the-board increase, as some of the money will be used for promotions and other raises. At the same meeting, the board authorized a tuition increase and set a ceiling of 14 per cent. The tuition increase primarily reflects inflation, but also pro-gram advances, including staff and curriculum increases. The Board of Regents approved the addition of six full-time facul-ty positions next year. There are also several positions to be filled that have been vacant this year. The dean's office is seeking fa-culty in the biology, Bible, psy-by Paul Olsen Following Bethel Board of Re-gents' recommendations, the dean's office today announced a substantial increase in tuition, room and board for-1980-81. The announcement was made through a statement in each student's mailbox. According to a draft of the by Shari Goddard Early in February, four people will investigate Bethel' as part of an accreditation-renewal process. During Feb. 4-6, the representa-tives of the North Central Asso-ciation of Colleges and Schools will "have access to virtually everything at Bethel," said Dwight Jessup, director of aca-demic affairs in the dean's office. Accreditation, which Bethel re-ceived in 1959, is recognition of a college meeting national standards of education. It is the highest form of approval available to a college and it considers all sides of the college, from curriculum to administrative efficiency. Although accreditation is vo-luntary, few colleges decide against applying for it. Accredita-tion of a school is important for graduates seeking employment or entrance to graduate school. "We need it for our school graduates to have any kind of cur-rency on the academic market-place," said Tom Johnson, educa-tion professor and faculty coor-dinator. Every ten years schools with ac-creditation are reviewed. During the past year, Bethel has been pre-paring a 543-page self study to use during the review. Johnson is chairman of the steering commit-tee that served as first editor of the statement, tuition will be raised $410 to $3400, room charges in-creased $100 to $800, and mini-mum board costs boosted $75 to $625 per year. This $585 increase amounts to nearly a 14 per cent raise over this year's costs, the biggest in recent Bethel history. According to Director of Finan-cial Aid Dan Nelson, however, up to two thirds of present students study, using guidelines given by the North Central Association. Each accredited school must have clearly-stated purposes and the facilities and staff to carry them out. They must show that they have and will continue to meet these purposes. Through the self study, Bethel explains how it has met the requirements. "We have confidence that we have done a good job," said Jess-up. Each part of the report was edited at least twice, and those sections dealing with faculty were discussed in three open faculty hearings. The study doesn't cover only Bethel's strengths. "At the end of each section, we had to assess what we saw as strengths and areas needing growth," said John-son. The review committee, all vol-unteers from other colleges, will try to test the accuracy of the self study. This may include talking to students and employees, searching through files and checking records gathered for their inspection and just looking around. "I think it's important that students are can-did," said Johnson. He added that our Christian goals, because they were part of our purpose, can also be evaluated. "They want to make sure we've told the truth and that we've told should receive a big enough boost in financial aid to cover the higher tuition. Dean George Brushaber, a cen-tral figure in the budgeting pro-cess, said much of the unprece-dented increase is due to the na-tion's spiraling inflation, which outraced Bethel's predicted 7.8 per cent inflationary increase. Though many costs, such as mort-gages on campus buildings, are fixed, salaries rise with the cost of living. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, the consumer price index rose 12.6 per cent from Nov. '78 to Nov. '79. Because a college is a labor intensive enter-prise, a cost-of-living increase in faculty and staff salaries dictates a substantial raise in a school's bud-get. by Joy Nannette Banta As the last week of interim 1980 approaches, Bethel College and Seminary gear up for yet another Founders Week celebration with the theme, "The Spirit of Truth... Comes." "Whenever and wherever the everything," Jessup said. He add-ed that while the investigators carry some threat, they are also a great help. "This forces you to take an overall look at your insti-tution." Through this process, Bethel can be compared to other schools now and to itself ten years ago. With the move to new campus, in-creased enrollment and more fa-culty, there has been much change in those ten years.

In general, the nursing program is not seen as contributing to the program cost increase. The ex-pected 80 nursing students will take only general courses in the first two years, and, according to a feasibility study of the program, revenue from the program will ba-lance costs next year. Much of the increased room costs reflect an attempt to avoid some of the deficit incurred by off-campus housing.

The planning commit-tee has already met together and started working on the 1980 graduation. The committee is made up of two faculty members, Dwight Jessup and Curt Fauth, and the rest are members of the 1980 Senior class: Greg Kaihoi, Deb Ol-sen, Tannie Woods, Cory Dahl, Steven Hoswell, Steve Fischer and Suzi Wells. May 25 is the date set for com-mencement. The music for the evening will be performed by the Bethel Male Chorus. The speaker will be Oregon Senator Mark Hat-field. Hatfield is a well known evangelical speaker who often speaks at colleges around the country. The 1980 graduating class con-sists of approximately 320 Bache-lor of Arts graduates and a small number of Associate of Arts grad-uates. Commencement for these grad-uates will take place in the Bethel fieldhouse. Unfortunately, due to the lack of space, each graduating senior will only receive four tick-ets for family members to attend the commencement exercises. the Clarion Page 2 editorial Bethel handles cost increase well This week's announcement of student costs for 1980-81 marks a break with Bethel's usual practice of waiting till late spring to announce the next year's expenses. It establishes Bethel as one of the first colleges to set prices for the coming year. Though the decision was long in the making, the Bethel administration acted wisely in disclosing the necessary tuition increases as quickly as possible. The budgeting process for each school year begins over a year before the start of the fall semester in September. The Board of Regents began working on the 1980-81 budget in March 1979. Last March the board issued guidelines to be used by Dean Brushaber in setting faculty salaries for 80-81. Then during the summer, the major fixed protions of the budget were delineated, with money assigned for mortgages, pension plans, utilities, insurance and the like. In September the board suggested an increase in faculty salaries of 10 per cent, along with a non-salary budget increase of 10 per cent and a 10 per cent student cost increase over 979-80. But, according to Brushaber, through the fall it became apparent that the inflation rate was approaching 14 per cent. In late November Brushaber presented the Board of Regents with a preliminary 80-81 budget based on a 10 per cent increase. On Dec. 1 the board authorized a 14 per cent payroll increase, which includes social security raises and promotions, and an increase in student cost, setting a ceiling at 14 per cent. Wary of student reaction to any secrecy in tuition policy, the dean and the President's Advisory Council (consisting of President Lund-quist, Vice President for Business Affairs Burt Wessman, Vice President for Public Affairs Jim Bragg, Dan Nelson, Mack Nettleton and Brushaber) decided to announce the cost increase to student leaders dur-ing interim, as soon as all the pieces of the financial puzzle could be fit together. In mid-January the Baptist General Conference announced an in-crease in its contribution from $840,000 to just over $1 million— the last puzzle piece. On Jan. 10, President Lundquist told Brushaber that all the necessary major pieces had been fit together, and asked him to meet with the students as soon as possible. On Wednesday, Jan. 16, Brushaber, Dan Nelson, Nettleton, Vice President Jim Bragg, Brownlee and Jessup met with student senate leaders Steven Hoswell and Susan Stone and Clarion editor Paul Olsen to discuss the cost increase. At the meeting the announcement's time and manner of the release were much-discussed issues. At the close of the two-hour meeting a poll showed at least six of the eight present agreeing to relase the information via the Clarion and an official dean's memo (required by law) concur-rently- 7as soon as possible—with the stipulation that the Clarion do an intensive job of research. Arguments against such early release included the absence of many students during interim, the proximity of the announcement to Founders' Week, the fact that a light interim schedule would give students more time to get worked up about the increase, the absence of exact comparative figures as yet, and the Clarion's history of "poor research," with most of the dissent from one of the student represen-tatives. The administrators, however, agreed that they should not wait until the currents of student opinion looked promising to break the news, because the information is vital to the students. The only request was that those present not discuss the cost increase with students until the announcement and Clarion article, as a deterrent to inflated rumors. The only real delay in announcing the increase was the Clarion's week-long production schedule. We feel the increases are necessary and congratulate the Bethel ad-ministration for their handling the announcement of the information. By setting the prices early and quickly releasing the information to the students, the administrators showed a confidence that the student body would react fairly to the increase, and a conference that the increases are well-warranted. They also showed responsibility as trustees of students' money and welfare; they recognized the students' right to know about financial matters. We applaud this as a step in the right direction and sincerely hope that students will play an even greater role in budget procedures in the future.

Inflation, already settling down in double-digits, is felt by one and all. As can be seen by the newly an-nounced tuition hikes, Bethel is not immune to the 13 per cent an-nual inflation rate that has come down hard on the United States in the past year. The money pinch is being passed on to students as the administration finds it increasing-ly difficult to cut costs and keep the budget down. Several obvious areas of in-crease are detected at Bethel, some of which are directly felt by stu-dents and others which burden students indirectly. Inflation soars even at Bethel Tuition raised, aid increases any amount remains, Bethel at- students and are interest-free until tempts to cover it with an award graduation. of its own.

Bethel costs rank 15th of 16 in the Minnesota Council, while ranking near the bottom of the Christian colleges as well. Even with the large increase, Bethel is expected to retain its position because of similar increases expected in other schools. In an informal survey of Bethel's competition, Gordon, Wheaton, Houghton, Taylor and Trinity, Nelson discovered that Bethel's projected costs are lower than all except one, which is attempting to get by on a 9 per cent increase. The other schools range from $100 to $700 more than Bethel. For comparison, Nelson used $3400 for tuition, $800 for room and $830 for board (see Clarion, Nov. 16, for further comparison). The single course fee was set at $455 for part-time students, a fi-gure which Brushaber says com-pares favorably with other MIAC schools. Bethel administrators also point out that costs are computed with reference to 3-year progression, so no student is saddled with a huge increase in two consecutive years. In the three year period 1978-81, Bethel tuition has risen at an 8.6 average annual rate. from page 1 Silver Crest do not meet the cost of their housing. These residents are, then, in effect, being subsi-dized from other sources. Though board costs next year were set at $625, the college does not view this as representing the cost of eating while at school. The board cost represents only the minimum participation in Bethel's food service. (See Jan. 18 for fur-ther explanation of board costs). According to Nelson, the average student at Bethel is expected to spend about $830 on food, a figure used in calculating financial aid packages. By adding tuition, room, expected food costs, books and supplies and miscellaneous expenses, Nelson calculates that a year at Bethel col-lege will cost $5850 in 1980-81. Bethel will advertise this figure in its catalogs as actual cost, near-ly 14 per cent above last year's catalog cost. "But," said Nelson, "for the two-thirds of the Bethel students who now get traditional aid, the bulk of the increase will be offset . " In order to determine financial awards, the financial aid office determines a student's "need." Next year Nelson will start with $5850 as total cost, and then sub-tract the amount he determines the student's family should be able to pay. Then he will subtract any work study or scholarship or grant from an outside source. If This year Bethel budgeted $525,000 for financial aid. Next year that amount will be raised 22 per cent to $640,000. Nelson also hopes for a 20 per cent increase in campus-based money from the federal govern-ment, which is used to fund Na-tional Direct Student Loans, Sup-plementary grants and work study programs (where the government supplies 80 cents on the dollar and Bethel 20 cents). In addition, federal and state grant policies continue to be liberalized in the wake of the Middle Income Stu-dent Assistance Act of November 1978. Presently 644 Bethel students receive federal Basic Grants, with awards averaging $1040. Accor-ding to Nelson, 55-60 per cent of all students receive some sort of grant or scholarship, and this should increase to nearly two-thirds next year. The average aid package (for the two-thirds), "will go up more than $600," said Nelson. The one-third above financial aid will bear the full effect of the tuition in-crease. Nelson said he is concerned that all students apply for aid, and that those who do not get traditional-type scholarships or grants apply for a Guaranteed Student Loan. These loans are available to all Tuition, room and board, books and supplies have increased substantially, while health care and insurance and fuel costs have also taken a turn for the high side of the scales. The former are directly absorbed by students, while the latter are indirectly covered. Marvin Fuller, manager of pur-chasing and bookstore, and Wan-da Nelson, assistant bookstore manager, both responded to the question of rising inflation costs in the bookstore. - It is very hard to give hard fi-gures for cost increases in the bookstore, Fuller said. Many books stay at the same price from year to year but other books go up several dollars, even from semes-ter to semester, he said. "One could follow the prices of any two major textbooks from one year to the next and see what happens to the price, but mass market publishing is very different from commercial publishing," said Nelson. "Some books would increase by as much as $5, but that is not a true picture to say that all books increase because they don't," she added. "We can't come up with actual percentages for cost increases," said Fuller, "It would be too diffi-cult," added Nelson. Prices on basic school supplies other than books have also been increased, but no definite figures can be given. Bic pens, for exam-ple, have gone up about 10 cents. Jim Woods Another expense that has felt the impact of inflation is faculty and staff benefits. Personnel Director Art McCleary said that health and life insurance costs have increased substantially in re-cent months. "Health insurance costs were up in October from $16.47 per month for single employees, and $40.15 per month for employees with families, to the present rate of $20 and $50 respectively," he said. Bethel pays two-thirds of the cost of health insurance, which means that single employees must pay $10 per month, while employ-ees with families pay $25 per • month. Life insurance costs have in-creased from 19 cents to 20 cents per $1000 of coverage. McCleary said this expense is paid monthly, with employees receiving coverage amounting to one and one-half times their annual salary. For ex-ample, an employee with a salary of $20,000 receives coverage amounting to $30,000, which costs Bethel $6 per month. McCleary added that in addi-tion to the rate increase, salaries have also increased, which drives up the costs even more. Social Security costs are ano-ther employee expense. "The base tax rate has stayed the same, but because salaries have risen, so have the amount of taxes paid." The tax rate is currently 12.26 per cent with Bethel and the employee each paying one-half, or 6.13 per cent each. "Originally, any earnings above $18,000 per year were not taxed, but as of January 1, the ceiling was lifted to $25,000. This is just another added expense that we will have to pay," he said. Jim Woods, director of physical plant, said that fuel oil costs have nearly doubled within the past year. Last year oil averaged 43 cents per gallon. The most recent quote on oil costs found the price at a staggering 82.5 cents per gallon. That increase falls back on students without them ever know-ing it. - Bethel burns natural gas when-ever the temperature is above 20 ° F. during the winter heating sea-son. When the temperature drops below that mark Bethel is forced to switch to an alternate source, fuel oil, because Bethel is an in-terruptable consumer. When the temperature drops, greater sup-plies of natural gas are needed to heat residential areas. "We have had a very good win-ter for heating," said Woods. "We have only burned 6000 gal-lons of oil this year—eight full days of heating—and we are alrea-dy halfway through the season," he said. Bethel usually burns over 45,000 gallons of oil during one heating season. Last year was a hard heating season and thus oil consumption was up. While the price of oil has almost doubled, natural gas prices have only increased by 6.45 per cent. The total fuel costs for last year were over $34,000. According to Woods, if we have as bad a winter this year as we did last year, which is already unlikely, total fuel costs for this year will be between $50,000 and $60,000. As it stands, Bethel will probab-ly come closer to the smaller fi-gure unless the price of oil rises substantially between now and the end of the month when more oil will need to be purchased. "I can't quote exact figures be-cause fuel charges fluctuate and the market is very unstable," Woods said. Overall, Bethel is doing well be-cause of the mild winter this year, yet inflation's pinch is felt more with every gallon of oil purchased.

Beverly LaHaye by Joy Nannette Banta Last month, as a result of im-proper policing of the key, a great grand master key to Bethel was lost. Thus every lock in the master system of the college buildings has been changed. An analysis of the key situation revealed that things were so bad that "we may as well have left every door unlocked," said Jim Woods, director of physical plant. Although the locks have been changed, it does not affect the in-dividual keys to the doors, but the old great grand master will not work. This change affects all ex-terior doors as well. No old key will work on exterior doors. "We have received a lot of flack from faculty because of - the change," said Woods. But the loss of the master key points up the Trinity Baptist Church Welcomes You 220 Edgerton Street at Hwy. 36 St. Paul, MN 55117 774-8609 Rev. Hartley Christensen Rev.

"The Spirit of Truth...Comes" and Bethel is ready to receive it. necessity of good maintenance of security of keys, Woods said. Now exterior door keys and master keys are being issued only with vice-presidential approval, said Woods. "It is not that we don't trust the professors to be re-sponsible, but there has to be con-trol. Control is the most impor-tant aspect of the situation," he added. The deposit for keys has also been up-graded from $1 to $5. The higher charge, according to Woods, is in an effort to get stu-dents to return their keys. Keys are issued to students but end up being transferred to other students when they graduate or leave school. This increases the loss of control of security. Woods said that it is important to remember that no maintenance people are permitted to open doors without permission from a professor within the department. "Students should not request my people to open doors. It puts them in an awkward position," Woods said. - by Mari Broman A food service without manda-tory participation? "I wouldn't run it," said Wayne Erickson, co-director. According to Erickson it would be impossible to give stu-dents good quality food, fast ser-vice and still break even by guess-ing at how often and how much students would eat in the cafe-teria. "You've got to force students into eating. You've got to guar-antee they'll spend that much money on your campus in order to make it," he said. Erickson said other food service directors wonder how he can make a food service like Bethel's operate now with such a low bud-get. "They can't figure out how we can even come near to break-ing even, and they wouldn't want to try." But, he said, with any other program the students would end up paying one way or another. Eliminating mandatory participa-tion, would mean a budget reduc-tion thus making fewer opportun-ities for student workers. Food services could not cut full-time staff since it is now operating with approximately the same number of full-timers as when Be-thel was on old campus. Erickson said fewer student employees would result in slower service, lar-ger cash register and serving lines and vacuuming the dining area once a day rather than after each meal. "The place would look tackier and no one would be hap- PY." An all-you-can-eat system similar to that of Trinity College, in Deerfield, Illinois,would im-mediately add $200,000 to this year's $500,000 food-purchasing budget, increasing the student's fee by $100. Wayne Erickson Operating food service like a restaurant with cash and no ad-vance payments would not be feasible, said Erickson. Res-taurant operation is the "highest-risk business in the nation," he Rent Refrigerators Perfect for Dorms $14.95/mo. or $35.00/sem. (We also rent color TV's) STANDARD RENTS FURNITURE 3000 University Ave. SE 331.4020 8 Blks. E. of Univ. of Minn. said. Because of more guesswork and greater chances of miscalculating how much food to prepare, food service would have to raise prices. The college's food service would phase itself out, as does any busi-ness with few patrons. "Students would probably go spend their money elsewhere;" said Erickson. But, said Erickson, "I would give any student their full money back off the food cards that they hadn't used and tell them to go eat somewhere else and predict they'd probably run out of food. If they did make it, they would be eating very poorly." According to Erickson, Bethel has committed itself to "making sure the student is eating nutri-tional meals," as part of meeting the student's physical needs dur-ing his/her college career. "There's no way a student can eat a nutritional meal and still have leftover food cards," said Erickson. However, unlike some schools, students can transfer any unused cards to another student. And Be-thel refunds 100% of unused cards to students who withdraw, whereas most schools refund only a percentage, Erickson added. No school gives rebates to continuing students, he said. Erickson wishes complaining students would remember that "there's more cost in running a food service than just feeding peo-ple, purchasing and making food." He said, for example, that a dinner plate costs about $4. If students are dissatisfied, Erickson encourages them to put a note on the Expressions Board in the dining center. He responds to all signed complaints. Those interested in serving on a student advisory committee should contact Erickson or the student senate. The committee has 10 positions still available. S.M.

Students begin glancing over their shoulders as if to see a mass of germs heading to-ward them. Uninformed, people wonder why students irrationally fear this season. Flu, they point out, has no biases; the bugs attack all ages. This is true, but no person battling the flu at home can know the total helplessness of being sick while away at school. When people get sick at home, everything needed to nurse their way back to health is conveniently near. Medicines litter the cabinets of most American homes. Healthy, digestable food over-flows in an average household. If cabin fever sets in, a wide variety of activities—television, books, radio and Monopoly lie within easy reach. Patients at home lie on beds designed for maximum comfort When fevers of chills rage, the thermostat adjusts easily. While a sick person at home wallows in luxury, students sick at college fight for the basics of sur-vival. Long, bumpy rides on Frigi-daire buses link many students with their only medicine supply: the college infirmary. Armed with Robitussin and throat lozenges, and after suffering the indignity of a throat culture, a flu-struck student staggers home. He can crawl under wrinkled sheets to out-stare those malicious bugs. The variety of entertain-ment in a dorm room ranges from writing home about how miser-able one is, to catching up on a ris-ing backlog of homework. The tide and mid-terms wait for no man. Healthy, practical food is an-other scarce commodity at school. Popcorn and soda, a normal stu-dent's staples, do not sit well in a protesting stomach. While roasted peanuts, beef jerky and dill pick-les may have been favorites be-fore, they suddenly cause radically different reactions. Transporting food from cam-pus cafeterias raises unique prob-lems; a fact obvious to anyone who has tried, and failed, to carry jello home on a bus. This also ap-plies to carrying a bowl of vegeta-ble soup down campus halls. For a sick student, the normal discomforts of school life magni-fy. Already lumpy beds become as horrifying as a pea patch to any real princess. Drafty hallways and windows make a comfortable tem-perature impossible. Thermostats typically remain controlled by un-known powers. Certain rooms have additional problems. Bunk beds, for in-stance, pose uncomfortable pos-sibilities when the top occupant open column Total commitment means taking step beyond norm by Wyatt Waterman I visited a church this past summer. A most unusual church. What made this church so unusual laws not its building, its pastor, or even its choir, but rather its congregation. While the people appeared normal physically (short hair and suits and ties), the concerns they demonstrated for their pastor and fellow be-lievers was quite extraordinary. You see, no less than half the congregation would arrive at church at least an hour before the service began. You may think, "Well, that's not so unusual, I normally get to church half an hour before I have to." The strange thing about these people is that upon their arrival at church they immediately started praying in the pews and also in specially designed prayer rooms. They prayed for their pastor, their brothers and sisters in the Lord, their unsaved friends, and also for themselves. They did not stop there, however. After the service they prayed. They prayed that God would use the message they had just heard to strengthen their walks with Him. They also interceded for anyone who expressed a need. I must say that the entire congregation did not pray before and after each service, but enough of them did to make that church a special place of friendship. I easily saw the love of Jesus in the eyes, hearts, and faces of these brothers and sisters. I had finally had first-hand experience with a con-gregation that was "sold-out" to the Lord. It was difficult to leave this place of worship. I am not writing about this experience in order to praise the efforts of a particular congregation over and against congregations of this area. I am, however, trying to show Christians that members of a church who claim to be of God should give their whole lives to Him. As Christians, God does not call, us to simply put in our time of "spiritualization" at Wednesday night Bible studies and Sunday morn-ing worship services. He instead calls us, as Paul so aptly writes in Romans 12: lb, "to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and ac-ceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." I learned this summer from God through this congregation that we, as Christians, have to be willing to follow Jesus that extra step. This extra step may mean coming to church early in order to pray. It may mean reaching out to a brother or sister with a need. It may just be reading our Bibles ten minutes more each day. Whatever step it is, God will be there. Without that reaching out to Him (and to others through Him), how can we ever hope to remain par-takers of His grace.

Sympathy, an overflowing com-modity at home, is scarce on cam-puses. The fear of flu bugs over-rides sympathetic intentions as other students make wide paths around any sick friend's door. Friends may try to appear under-standing, but the fear in their eyes when a sick person stands close enough for bugs to jump, always gives them away. For a college student, coveted sympathy re-mains elusive. Those who have never suffered sickness while away from home and family do not, and never will, understand the flu fears of college students. The mere mention of the word causes a hush and shudder in the most confident of students. They could be next. No one as-sumes the bugs only strike others, for as sure as winter comes, the flu season follows.

Adding the finishing touches a Wall The painting process begins... The completed piece after the unveiling Peek's album not peak of career by John van Vloten By now the majority of us know that Dan Peek, formerly of "America," is a Christian—par-don me, a Christian musician. Now is not the time to argue what makes music Christian, if such a thing can ever be resolved. No, it is time to decide whether Dan Peek's music is good music. Ob-viously it will be a slanted decision as only I get to put in my two bits. That's life. First off, let me say that despite the rumors that I profoundly dis-like any music that cannot be appreciated at over 90 decibels, I rather liked the music that Peek & Co. put out as America. It was pop music and it didn't say a whole lot, but I liked it none-the-less. After I discovered that Peek was a real live Christian, I eagerly pored over my old America al-bums to find out which songs he wrote. I was curious as to whether the lyrics would reveal a search for meaning, or the buds that would later bloom into faith. What I found was interesting. One of Peek's best cuts contained lyrics along these lines: This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky... `Cause I'm on my way back home. Now I don't know what you read into this; whether "silver cup" represents communion in some way, or whether that "high-way in the sky" bespeaks the big round-up rapture toward Heaven, but the symbolism certainly is ap-pealing. At any rate, to play with the lyrics, Dan Peek is clearly on his "way back home." So much for Dan's "secular" music, but what of his new stuff? Is his album, "All Things Are Possible," a good album? Well, some folks think it's a great al-bum. These people also like the Imperials, Debby Boone, and Evie. What I am tactfully and lovingly trying to say is that Dan Peek has put out a good, bland al-bum. It is an album which will not offend anyone, but it is question-able as to whether it will inspire anyone either. It is largely an album of love songs. This in itself is not a bad thing, and I admit that when I first became a Christian, my poe-try was largely of the "Boy, I sure love you God. Sure glad I'm sav-ed" variety. As such I am hardly in a position to throw stones. It would be nice, however, if Dan Peek had spent a few years in plumbing the depths of his faith before releasing an album, but the man had to eat, right? The music, apart from lyrics, is softish pop, with one rocky ex-ception. It is a nice album to listen to, although the markings of a Christian production can imme-diately be sensed. One wonders how the album would have come out if Dan had gone to Solid Rock and had Larry Norman produc-ing. Oh well, what's done is done. Dan Peek is coming to Bethel at eight o'clock on the 26th of this month—tomorrow. Despite what I have said about this album, I'll warrant that it will be a concert which you will not want to miss. Peek has a wealth of experience with live concerts and the man is an excellent guitarist. Although he was by no means the only "lead vocalist" in America, he was the most active guitarist. Perhaps he can even be teased into singing some of his old stuff, who knows? At least in live concert Dan won't have to compete with those syrupy strings for top billing. by Joy Nannette Banta Senior Beth Ekberg will per-form in a voice recital on Mon-day, February 4, at 8 p.m. in the seminary chapel, as part of her fulfillment of the requirements for a B.A. in applied music. Ekberg will be accompanied on the piano and the harpsichord by Karen Thomas in her musical ren-ditions in five different languages. "I will be doing music from every different era—from Renais-sance to Baroque to Impressionis-tic to Contemporary Twentieth Century," said Ekberg. Music by Monteverdi, Scarlatti, Brahms, Volf and others will find its way into the evening's perfor-mance. With French romantic music and Spanish tonadillas, the music from the twentieth century will add a lighter more humorous note to the recital, according to Ek-berg. Everyone is invited to the re-cital, especially those returning from the post-interim break early, said Ekberg.

When two-inch puddles started appearing on the rinks, IM coordinators Janet Peterson and Steve Fischer went to the prayer chapel and prayed for cold weather. At a recent game at the McDonald's rink, someone hit the ball over the fence and it rolled down on Snelling Ave. When a player chased it, he saw a car stop, a man get out and grab the ball, and yell, "Thanks for the ball" as he drove off. The car and Two wins lift Royals into third The Royal basketball team con-tinued its progression up the MIAC ladder, moving into third place after wins over St. Olaf and Hamline. The blue and gold's record now stands at 5-2 in con-ference play, ranking them behind undefeated Augsburg and St. John's. At Hamline, a loud visiting Bethel crowd went wild as the Runnin' Royals ran up a 23-point lead 15 minutes into the game. But a fine Piper team fought back, narrowing the margin to 13 by halftime and eventually knotting the score midway through the se-cond half. Some timely buckets by Dave Blanchard, who finished with 20 points, put the Royals out front again. Hamline came back but Bethel held on for a 73-72 win. Gary Edlund added 18 and Tom Weko 12. Bethel pays at Gustavus tomor-row night. Next home game is next Saturday in an important rematch with St. John's. Hockey cont. from p. 8 Bethel. Dave Johnson had two assists and Feltman had one. Steve Larson and Eric Petersen were named Bethel players of the week. "We need to work on discipline in our attitudes and the way we play," said Feltman. "We've got a lot of talent, but we haven't been playing well consistantly." Bethel has three conference games away before their next home game. Wednesday they play St. Johns, whom they beat earlier in the season, 5-3. "Having beat them the first time, they are going to want to stick it to us," said Feltman. "We'll have to play like we're playing a first place team." The next home game is Friday, February 1, against Gustavus. Game time is 8 p.m. at Columbia Arena in Fridley. by Mary Beth Larson and Bob Schmidt This will be an "action-packed" weekend with one of the most exciting activities of the year to take place. Friday night we'll all go roller-skating at the Saints Rosedale rink from midnight to 2 a.m. Buses will leave NC at 11:30 p.m. and OC, FT, and SC at approximately 11:45 p.m. The cost will be $1.50 for an evening of good music, good fun and good fellowship. Join us! Saturday evening brings the big-gest concert of the year. Dan Peek will perform with his band in Be-thel's fieldhouse at 8 p.m. Peek was guitarist for the rock group "America" for several years. His latest popular song, "All Things Are Possible," hit the charts last October. The lead-on performers are Gerry Limpic and Scott Parrish. Limpic formerly traveled here from California with "Limpic and Rayburn," but they parted, and Limpic is now performing with Parrish. They performed at Bethel a few years ago and were highly recommended to return. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $3.50 in advance or $4.00 at the door. This concert is going to be terrific! Our singspiration, on Sunday evenings at 9 p.m., will be really special this month. "Sonfire" will minister to us for about an hour. Join us in the gym for a special time of fellowship. What an ex-cellent way to begin the last week of interim! This is a fun-filled weekend. Get involved and really enjoy yourself.

Page 8 sports by Steve Erickson With nearly one-third of the students participating, broomball has become Bethel's most popular sport ever. Over 600 students and 42 teams are well into the eight game season that ends Feb. 14. The teams are divided into two divisions: Artic and Nordic. Within each division are three conferences, aptly nam-ed: Seal, Penguin, Husky, Walrus, White Fox, and Polar Bear. With original team names like the Denuvian Slime Devils, Nanuck's Block Ice Co., and the Kooter Whatters, and old stand-byes like Dog Breath, Richie Valiance Jr. High, and Big Guns II, the league is off to its best start ever. Defending champions, the But-chers, again look like the team to beat. The meatcutters are undefeated (3-0), slicing through Kooter Whatters 5-0 in a recent game to keep their goals against at zero. A number of other teams look tough, such as the Rink Rats, a team that existed last year. The Moberg, Mogck, Held gang even went so far as to plan a team retreat in the offseason to plan strategy. It seems to be paying off, as the rodents are 2-0-1. Other teams to beat include Jon Fast and the Broom Pistols and the Gingers, both 3-0. And the word is out that the dark horse this season may be Big Guns II. Family, a brilliant defensive team from last year has not been resurrected this time around, but remnants of the group are to be found in Wounded Knee, led by the gregarious Brad Nelson. In recent action, Dad's Broom Brawlers nipped AwSomnity 2-1 in a teaser. Lords of the Rings weren't lord-of-the-rink, bowing to Scoops on John Van Vloten's goal. Richie Valiance Jr. High whipped Brohams 5-0 and the Swedish Sweeps topped A-3 and Co. in other games. Paul Har-rison's three tallies paced Meyer's Maulers to a 6-0 win over Rosedale Connection plus four. The squeakers of the week had to be the Royal Stuffers (all freshmen) stuff of the Beeker Bunch 12-0 on Craig Haugen's 5 goals and Pete Barker's 4 tallies.

In last Friday's home game, Hamline outshot Bethel, 52-21. Hamline jumped out front 3-0 in the first period. Bethel came back hard in the second period, out-shooting Hamline 9-8, and tied the score with three goals of their by Carol Madison The women's basketball team has added two more victories to their win streak, which reflects the determination the team has to turn their season around follow-ing the semester break. The Royals have gone from a 1-5 season record before the break to an even 6-6 record by adding St. Theresa's and Normandale to the list of victories. Bethel overwhelmed St. Theresa in every department on the way to a lopsided 71-46 win. The Royals continued to dominate with an ag-gressive defense by out-rebounding St. Theresa almost 2-1, and stealing the ball 26 times from the intimidated and para-noid opponent. Katie Miller led the balanced scoring attack with 12 points, and the rest of the team followed close behind in the evenly-distributed scoring effort. Linda Johnson scored 11, Beth Karsjens and Les-lie Smith each added ten, and are undefeated. But things will change, because the Auggies and Tommies wrestled this weekend. Bethel's dual meet record stands at 9-2 overall. Bethel, a team of today, is also the team of tomorrow. Freshmen manned seven of the ten weight own. Bethel appeared to have scored a fourth goal to move in front, but the goal was disallowed because the net had been bumped out of place as the goal was scored. In the third period, Bethel had several penalties, and Hamline went on to win the game 5-3 on two powerplay goals. Steve Larson, Scott Larson, and Scott Feltman each scored for cont. on p. 7 Joann Griffin followed with nine points. Smith led in the rebounding de-partment with 13, and freshman Doreen Almeroth grabbed ten. "We simply out-played them across the boards," said Coach Marcia LaRock. "Everyone got a chance to play, so it was a good team effort. It was a good chance to see the whole team in game ac-tion." Normandale found that their only hope against the aggressive Royal defense was luck with the outside shot, but a switch to player-to-player defense destroyed those hopes, and Normandale eventually lost to the Royals 55-44. "We should have pulled away even more, but their outside shot kept them in the game," said La- Rock. "They didn't score more than four or six points against us underneath. But our switch in de-fense in the second half shut down those outside shots." classes last week in three convinc-ing wins. Only Rich Hodge and Lonnie Holmgren will graduate this year. Paul Frandsen and Russ Reynolds were named wrestlers of the week for their achievements. Frandsen recorded three pins last week in keeping a perfect win-loss record. The freshman from Spring Valley also leads the team in falls. Reynolds, another freshman, won by pin twice. He is just recovering from an injury to his elbow. Mike Jacoby and Ben McEachern continued filling in well for injured captains Greg Heinsch and Holmgren. Jocoby (6-0) won twice while McEachern took two out of three matches. Kirk Walters pinned the Carleton wrestler and tied Hamline. He also moved from his usual 126 weight class to 134 and won against St. Olaf. Greg Widmer recorded wins against Carleton and Hamline at 134 but was rested versus the Oles. The Royals led by only three at halftime, but Katie Miller turned the game around defensively in the second half by denying Nor-mandale's leading scorer any more points. In her spare time, she also was the leading rebounder with 12, and scored ten points. Joann Griffin had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Beth Karsjens added 11 points to the total effort. "One of the highlights was the fact that we had 17 assists," said LaRock. "We're doing a better job of seeing the open people, which will continue to help us from here on." Macalester has forfeited to-night's game and the Royals close out January with away games at Gustavus and Northwestern on Tuesday and Thursday. The team will then travel to Chicago over in-terim break for games with Trinity and Wheaton. They return home for a game on February 6th with Carleton. At 167, Brian Halstrom beat his man in the Carleton meet but then wrestled the two best men in con-ference Saturday and lost both. Jon Martin may be back in that slot this weekend. Three times winning by forfeit, Hodge stayed undefeated. Some coaches will not put marginal wrestlers against him, chosing in-stead to forfeit the weightclass. Tomorrow the Royals face St. Mary's and St. John's in a three-team meet in the gym.
