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.

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.

approaches, Bethel College and
Seminary gear up for yet another
Founders Week celebration with

"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,

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

It seems hardly possible, but
this year's graduation exercises are
not far off. 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

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

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.

Gold has soared over the $800
mark and back, silver has hit a
new peak, food prices are
escalating, tuition costs are rising,
the value of the dollar is de-creasing,
and what little money
the average college student brings
in each month is buying less and
less.
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.

sizes Bethel's low cost in comparison
to schools in the Christian College
Consortium and the Minnesota
Private College Council.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

When announced by newscast-ers,
the flu season strikes fear in
the minds of many college stu-dents—
a fear unequalled even by
the word finals. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Rosedale Connection plus four.

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. Bethel, having
never beaten the Johnnies in a
dual meet, wrestles starting about
12:30 p.m.
