Lundqui's,t survives
20 years of cho'nge
-By Bill Trollinger
Many things have changed at Bethel College and Seminary
over the past 20 years. A new campus, a set of different
problems and opportunities, a new generation of students
and, for the most part, a different group of faculty
members all attest to the fact that Bethel has changed in
the past two decades. These changes, though, do not include
the man filling the role of president. Dr. Carl H. Lundquist,
only the third president since the inception of the
college/seminary in 1914, has presided over the school since
1954. Lundquist served as acting dean for one year prior
to this.
Al Glenn has described Dr. Lundquist as a "man of incredible
faith." One can see this in his description of his
role: "The president of this school must dream for the
future, making plans now to help Bethel become what it
ought to be." Dr. Lundquist obviously is not enmeshed
with the day-to-day operation of Bethel, but concentrates
on long-range planning. Also, he is involved with Bethel's
relationships with various constituencies and interest groups.
But concentrating upon these aspects of Bethel has its
drawbacks: "Being an administrator takes its toll. I don't
have the personal relationship with students that I would
desire." These administrative responsibilities, and the fact
that his office is located at the Seminary, restrict his
involvement with students; yet he maintains good relationships
with student leaders and extends an open invitation
to college students to visit him in his office.
One way that Dr. Lundquist (and the administration)
has manifested his concern for the students is the implementation
of security procedures here at Bethel. "The need
of security," Dr. Lundquist asserts, "is a new phenomenon,
brought on by the advent of the drug culture." He feels
that a wait-and-see attitude concerning the quality of security
is advisable, being a difficult area in which to measure
success.
But whereas the security picture has brightened here
at Bethel, the financial picture remains rather bleak. Dr.
Lundquist admits that the bonds used to build the new
campus need refinancing, yet he has faith. "We assume
that they will be refinanced, on a long-term basis, by January.
If not, short-term refinancing has already been set
up. Rumors of impending financial disaster are not true. II
Dr. Lundquist proudly points to the fact that Bethel ranks
in the top 20 percent of colleges (regardless of size) in
gift money, receiving 1% million dpllars last year. Quoting
Virgil Olson, he says, "Bethel has always been one step
from disaster. Faith in God is what keeps us going."

Editorials
The Public Action Committee, which is under the auspices
of the Student Senate, has instituted (for the second consecutive
year) "Bowl of Rice." This is a program whereby
students Have the opportunity to sacrifice one regular
cafeteria meal (eating a bowl of rice instead) and $1.00
each Thursday night for the purpose of giving the extra
money to a relief fund aimed to ease the plight of the
hungry across the world.
It would seem that the response to this program would
be quite favorable, considering the merit of the cause; yet,
three negative responses are frequently voiced. One is that
an individual's money (or time) is invested in other areas
of giving. This is a valid response. But two other, less
valid, negative responses also appear with frequency. The
first can be phrased , as follows: "'Bowl of Rice' is ignoring
the needs we have in the Twin Cities, so I am not
going to give." These people are perfectly willing to shop
around for the "perfect" charity while half the world is
starving. Hunger is hunger, whether it be in Bangkok or in
Minneapolis; we as Christians must not ignore suffering just
because it is outside of our limited experience.
Also, there are the inevitable cries of: "Hypocrisy!
Rice-eaters are hypocrites. I'm not going to eat rice."
This is a manifestation of the "they ate rice at 5 and
cheeseburgers at 10" syndrome. The fallacies of such an
argument are obvious; it reminds one of individuals who
will not become Christians because of hypocrites in the
church. Human failing ·can be found in any institution, so
it must be realized that institutions need to be judged on
their merits alone.
We" 'are 'not saying that "Bowl of Rice" is right for
everyone. We are merely questioning certain arguments
against participation in this program.
The :Bethel Heritag'*e Pro*gr am *ha s now been officially
introduced to the Bethel community. Clarion articles have
been written and chapel talks have been given concerning
the positive vqlues of this type of endeavor, and it would
seem that everyone is enthusiastically in favor of Heritage.

In fact, we have been informed that the wheels are already
turning, and certain aspects of the project are even now being
initiated. Apparently, Heritage is now getting off the ground.
Certain aspects of the program need clarification however.
The question needs to be asked: Is the Heritage Pro..
ject a program that is to be undertaken, supported, and
staffed by the Student Senate, or is it to be run independently
of the Senate, supervised apart from the Senate
structure? The answer to this question is a vital key
to understanding Heritage.
Let's examine the latter notion first. If Heritage is to be
operated outside of the structure of the Senate, then it seems
to us that the student body should be asked wheher they
actually want this program. The present student body President,
who is one of the key people behind Heritage, was
elected to serve and represent the students of Bethel
College. If he is going to devote a great deal of his time
and efforts to this project, shouldn't we at least have a chance
to decide on its relative merits?
If the Heritage Project, on the other hand, is to be
Senate-run, then the Senate should be polled, as representatives
of the student body. In other words, if the Senate
will be expected to support Heritage and do its inevitable
legwork, then they should be allowed to determine whether
or not doing so would be in the best interests of those
that they serve.
This editorial is not attacking the nature of the Heritage
project, in terms of need or chance of success. We applaud ,
those who have shown enough concern for the long-range
goals of Bethel to plan a program such as this. Let's just
.make sure that it is what a majority of the students want.

Letters
LRC responds to studen1t's
camp/a'int con'cernfng peri'ocIica/s
Dear Sir:
I read Bruce R. Bohne's letter to the ~ditor, printed
in the October 3, 1975 issue of the Clarion, with some degree
of indignation. Mr .. Bohne's letter, entitled "Boring Mags
Mocked," was an unfortunate and gross exaggeration of the
facts concerning the periodicals available in the Bethel LRC.
Mr. Bohne's basic contention was that there were too
many "intellectually verbose" journals in the LRC and not
enough "purely entertaining magazines." In response to this
complaint there are several points I would -like to raise.
I question, first of all, whether the author has thoroughly
checked the titles the LRC does subscribe to. He should have
found more than a "dozen or so readable magazines."
I offer the following list: Car & Driver, Ebony, Good Housekeeping,
High Fidelity/Musical America, Newsweek, New
~ York Times Magazine, Popular Science, Reader's Digest,
Redbook, Sporting News, Sports illustrated, Time, and U.S.
. News & World Report among many others. Mr. Bohne requested
periodicals that had lots of pictures. National -Geographic,
Audubon, Backpacker, or any of the numerous and expensive
art journals the LRC subscribes to should provide
that demand adequately.
Perhaps Mr. Bohne's reading interests are not, in fact,
shared by the rest of the "general populace." I know for
certain that the current copies of Time and Newsweek do
not remain on the display shelves for more than fifteen
minute intervals. The LRC also subscribes to a wide assortment
of daily newspapers and, for the first time this year,
is getting two copies of the Minneapolis Morning Tribune
(in consideration of the wide use that paper receives). It hardly
seems fair to call the LRC to ' task for not supplying Mr.
Bohne with reading material suited to his level of interest.
My final criticism of Mr. Bohne's letter is directed
toward his implication that the LRC has a responsibility
for assuring the entertainment of Bethel students. The LRC
is first and foremost an academic institution devoted to
the advancement of learning. Its purpose is to supplement
class room instruction and provide reference tools for research.
The greater majority of our periodical subscriptions
are the direct result of requests from faculty members:
(We currently subscribe to over 500 titles.) The small margin
of funds remaining after faculty requests have been filled
is used to obtain such periodicals as I have already listed.
It is pertinent to this discussion that one remembers
tha t entertaining magazines are generally not very useful
in the future as resource material. In fact, some of the
most popular periodicals are never looked at again after
they leave the display shelf. The long range value of the
periodical is an important factor in the decision to subscribe
or not to subscribe.
Sincerely,
Janet Monson,
Periodicals Clerk
Shorter lectures planned
by Dr. Von Schueller
Earlier this school year, G.W. Carlson announced the
beginning of the Pi Gamma Mu lecture series ' and released
a schedule of speakers and topics for the entire academic
year. This program is worthwhile for those students who are
in school primarily to learn and are applying themselves
towards that goal. But what about those many students
who don't share this intellectual hunger? What about today's
student:-on-the-run who cannot take the time for his regular '
studying, much less "outside" -educational opportunities? Can
they be expected to relinquish one entire hour a month for
furthering their academic lives?
Pi Gamma Mu, if it hopes to be of use to a majority
of the community, must expand its present format to include
those students who cannot spare an hour each and -every
month. Consequently, I would like to propose an alternative
lecture schedule with these people in mind. In preparing this
list, I have attempted to choose provocative topics that
by their very nature must be extremely short; four minutes
is our longest lecture. Here then is our alternative schedule
for the rest of the year. (The lectures should begin around
6 :30, so that students may come after supper and yet
not miss prime time T.V. shows.)

Lynn Fauth: Californ'ian
ioins English department
I
by Jbn Morud
"There's only one thing wrong with Bethel," suggested ,
this year's addition to the Ellglish Department, Dr. Lynn
Fauth. "It should be overlooking the Pacific Ocean."
The tall, sandy-haired Californian misses the SQuthern
California sunshine, but he senses that the warm and trusting
Bethel climate will serve to insulate him from the Minnesota
winter.
"People are open here, not afraid to question. And that's
half of the Christian life. You've got to feel free to question.
It's better to be a thinking Christian than a habitual
one. A person at Bethel who has questions is not afraid
when he does not have answers because he feels assured
that he will have an answer eventually."
Dr. Fauth's observations of the Bethel atmosphere are
contrary to his remarks about a certain school where he
previously taught: "Faculty and students weren't as trusted
or trusting there. Students would often ask me questions
just to test whether I fit their preconceived notions. I
discovered that climate and location alone can't meet my
need for professional satisfaction."
Before teaching for one year at LA . Baptist College,
Dr. Fauth, who prefers to be called Lynn, was a teaching
assistant at Indiana University, where he received his PhD
in 1975 and his MA in 1972. Lynn completed his under
graduate work at California Western University in 1959,
which is now called U.S. International University.
Lynn and his wife, Toni, were married during his freshman
year of college. They have two daughters, Danielle,
9, and Norienne, 7 years.
"I don't recommend it," he responded when asked if
marriage, a family, and college is a compatible mixture.
But he added that the Lord and a loving wife helped
to make teaching pOssible for him.
foUr
After a rather disappointing year at LA Baptist College,
Bethel is an answer to many prayers entreated by the Fauths
although Minnesota was not specifically mentioned by this
fair-weather family in their petition to the Lord. Danielle
and Norienne can hardly wait for snowfall, but Mrs. Fauth,
who says she will go wherever Lynn will go, is still a
Californian in her heart.
Dr. Fauth would like to purchase a home in the near
future so that his family can finally be firmly planted in
one area. He and his Wife would like to take up skiing,
wind surfing (a sail mounted on a surfboard), and sailing
when time and finances permit. Canoeing looks fun too.
'For now they ' enjoy movies, reading, basketball, bicycling
and long driv~s - "Just anywhere."
Reclining his office chair to its limits, Lynn reflected
his relaxed yet watchful outlook on his job at BetheL
"I always want to be able to laugh at myself," he said ,
with a smile. "I do some pretty dumb things sometimes.
If I couldn't . laugh at myself, I'd probably have to shoot
myself."
"We're all students. I learn as much, maybe more,
from the students as they do from me. I've used many
of their insights."
Dr. Fauth offers instruction in Literary Forms, History
of English Literature, and Milton in the 17th Century.
He believes that God can use English instructors to
influence people to think.
"Literature is an avenue into thinking," he explained.
"We have seen how other people have thought, and so we
can learn how to think by looking at the way they thought.
"Literature is also a sharing of experiences writteq. by
men and about men. We can· learn from other people's , experiences.
And the study of literature can enhance our understanding
of the Bible and God, since the Bible is' literature."
Dr. Fauth is pleased that the Bethel administration trusts
its instructors and students, which produces mature, thinking
students.
After several years of schooling and finally reaching his
goal of teaching, Dr. Fauth believes his most valuable
lesson is, "The more you ' learn, the less you know."

Homecoming Highlighted
by Kathleen Asselin
Indian summer festooned the campus in full color last
weekend for Bethel's 1975 Homecoming, titled "Autumn Reflections.
"
Homecoming began with the Coronation ceremonies on
Thursday night at the Seminary Lounge. Amid ivy and candlelight,
,Sue Lock, a Bethel junior, was crowned Homecoming
Hostess. Designated as the school's representative, Sue's
duties include welcoming visitors to the college during big
events such as Festival and Founders' Week. A floor co'
ordinator on old campus, Sue said she felt "super, super
honored" to be chosen Hostess.
The Student Spectacular on Friday night captured the
intimacy of students celebrating their life in Christ via music
and drama. Songs performed by the Sons of Light; Suzy,
Dean and Lisa; Charlie Cosgrove ; Dan Fair and others impressed
the audience with their authentic meaning. One student
commented, "You could tell they were really singing
from the souL"
Another person said, "For the college that Bethel is,'
it was so. appropriate for Homecoming."
P.T. Barnum would have been enthralled with the Campus
Carnival on Friday night, which raised havoc in the lower extremities
of the school. The spicier booths included Kidnapers
Inc. (put-your-fellow-friend-in-jail), Computer Dating,
Bubble-Blowers, Sweet Country apple dunking, Backrubs,
"' and several "3-shots-for-a-dime."
The Bear-Hugging booth promoted healthy affection among
carnival-goers while pie-throwing offered the chance to
"cream your sweetie." Eats ran the gamut from pumpkin
cupcakes to popcorn balls. 'One enthusiastic response to the
carnival summed it l,lp: "It was a blast."
Homecoming halftime show was ushered in by the Bethel
band led on to the field by trombone-hurling Dick Huebner
and a cello player with a folding chair trailing behind.
The crusading crew, attired in a little bit of everything,
saluted famous Biblical stories in nasal nocturnes. Such wellknown
events as "40 Years Wandering in the Desert," "To.
wer of Babel," and "Walls of Jericho" were portrayed.
A tribute to Dean Brushaber was spelled out on the
field as well as a formation for oboe-playing Hostess Sue Lock.
Keith Harrison enioys a relaxing massage at
Friday's carnival.
Dates for the dateless were provided for the fans in the
stands, ,and the band mar.ched off the football field with
a resounding rendition of "Mickey Mouse."
An MG brigade of Homecoming Hostess candidates peeled
onto the field for the second half of the halftime show.
Linda Benson, Karen Hauck, Diane Lewis, Libby Mann, Shirley
Van Wambeke and 1975 Hostess Sue Lock were given
the white glove treatment by their escorts. The Royal Lion
presented each ...o. f the girls with yellow mums before they
were whisked off the- field. .
A freshman reacted to the weekend by saying, "I always
thought homecoming was centered around football, but here
the football game was just another one of the events. Best
part was that now I've seen' homecoming related to Christianity."

Minneapolis theaters reviewed'
Local area is rich with quality theater
by Bruce R. Bohne
The many outstanding theaters in the Minneapolis area
have given the city a top-rank position in .America as a perrorming
arts center.
The Guthrie, of course, is the "piece of Broadway"
in Minneapolis. However, other equally good area theaters
should not be overlooked. The following list was compiled
after talking with a number of Bethel people, both students
and faculty. The comments accompanying each theater are
gleanings from the conversations; they are not just one
person's opinion.
* * * I. Theater of Involvement
(331 17th Ave. S.E., Mpls.)
This theater received an enthusiastic "No.1" from
Bethel's Drama Department head. It is a rare experience in
theater, very intimate (seating only about 100) and, best
of all, it is cheap. The theater is a non-profit organization,
so donations are asked - usually $2.
"Three Psychologists In Search of a Character" and "I'm
Only In It FOr The Money" - Oct. 9 through 19.
"Bus Stop" - Oct. 30 through Nov. 23.
* * * 'II. Children's Theater Company
(2400 3rd Ave . .8., Mpls.)
This is one of Minneapolis' finest theaters in every way.
The children's productions are great, if you don't bring kids.
College age "kids" will thoroughly enjoy this top-notch entertainment.
"Treasure Island" - Weekend matinees, October through
mid-November.
* * III. 'Chanhassen Dinner Theater
( Chanhassen)
*
The mere mention of this name strikes fear into the
hearts of pocketbooks, but guys, here's where to take 'em
to really impress 'em. The theater offers qu~lity cuisine and
talent with three theaters to choose from:
Main Dinner Theater - $13-14 per person - now showing
"Man of La Mancha."
Playhouse - $12 per person - showing "I Do! I Do!"
Courtyard Theater - $12 per person - showing "Sleuth."
Prices include all the ingredients for a good time.
*- * *

(ollege Night
Tuesdays 5·12
Falcon Heights Pizza Hut
IV. University Theater
(Rarig Center, ' West Bank - U. of M.)
Here is high quality theater with guts. They are not
afraid to try originals, and they come off well. Productions
have the vitality that only college students can give. Watch
especially for the arena production of "Birthday Party."
Prices are reasonable at $2.50 - call early for tickets.
"Man and Superman" - Oct. 31, Nov. 1-2, 7-9, 14-16.
"The Birthday Party" - Nov. 13-16, 20-23.
V. Chimera Theater Co~*p any* *
(Crawford Livings,ton Theater, 30 E. 10th St., St. Paul)
Although it is a community theater, Chimera is very
close to professional. Students especially enjoy the easy, light ·
and lively atmosphere. Tickets are $3.50 for students.
"The Music Man" - Oct. 9-12, 16-19.
"Time of Your Life" - November.
VI. Land Fall Theater * * *
(2967 Hudson Rd., Landfall)
It might sound like it is at the edge of the world, but
it's not - just a nice drive to East St. Paul. Landfall
is a little fancier than some, and the quality of the plays
is very good. Tickets are $4 and there is a restaurant
right there.
"Nettie" - through Oct. 26.
"My Fair Lady" - Oct. 30 through Dec. 7.
VII. Lakeshore Players * * *
(522 Stewart Ave., White Bear Lake)
While definitely not professional, this is a fair quality
community theater. Tickets are cheap at $2.
"The King and I" - through Oct. 12.
"The Drunkard" - Nov. 7 through Dec. 7.
* * * VIII. Theater in the Round
(245 Cedar Ave., Mpls.)
Not too many people rave about this one. Students feel
it is not innovative enough. Although the stage situation
is unique, the productions are sometimes boring. ,If you want
to check it out, it will cost you $2.50.
"As You Desire Me" - Oct. 17 through Nov. 9.
"The Great White Hope" - Nov.' 21 through Dec. 14.
IX. Theater 1900 * * *
(Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Ave.,
Mpls.)
Productions are put on by members of Plymouth Church
and surrounding community and are amateur at best. Plymouth
Church is very liberal, so the shows aren't necessarily
religious.
"The Boyfriend" - Oct. 24-25, Nov. 1-2, 8-9.
* * '* X. Dudley Rigg's Brave New Workshop
(2605 Hennepin Ave. S., Mpls.) .
This is usually very funny and always very secular. Christians
may have a hard time with some of the stuff, but
if you can get around it you'll be in for a lot of laughs.
"Uncle . Sam's the Mother of Them All orJ Who Will'
Buy the Bicentennial?" -through Dec. 21.
'''Monday Night at the Workshop" - Mondays at 8 p.m.
Muck is 175 P'acesetter
Terry Muck, graduate of Central High
School, Bethel College and Seminary,
and Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern
University, ' was named a Pacesetter by
the Bethel Alumni Association during
homecoming f~stivities on October 3.
Such recognition by his alma mater
grows out of outstanding achievement
in the sports world as National Collegiate
and United States Handball Champion,
batting champion of the Men's National
Fastpitch Softball Tournament,
and subsequently being signed to the
Atlanta Braves farm team. Further education,
however, won out over a baseball
career a~ he moved into graduate
studies in the field of comparative religions.
Currently he is in Shri Lanka
Ceylon, under a Fullbright Hayes scholarship
doing a comparative study of
Christian and Buddhist Spirituality as
his dissertation project.
Muck will be represented by his father,
Professor Webster Muck of the Bethel
Department of Psychology, as Alumni
Director Curt Fauth pays tribute to him

College graduate of 1972 and just-named
Pacesetter of 1975, "Never ceases to
be amazed at the magnitude of people's
physical problems or the abundance of

was intensified as the result of Toni's
short term service a year ago at the
Door of Life Hospital in Ambo, Ethiopia,
where she worked with her father, Dr.
Raymond Magnuson of Cambridge, and
other medical personnel. Taking a break
from medical studies at the University
of Minnesota, Duluth, Toni's responsibilities
in Ethiopia involved teaching in
the local nursing school, out-patient and
hospitalized patient duties, multiple surgical
procedures, and maternal and child
health care. Now in a residency program
on the Minneapolis campus, Toni is plan-.
ning to practice medicine with her hus-band,
Paul J. Kuhnmuench, a University
of Minnesota Resident in Internal
Medicine, in some needy area - possibly
overseas.
In presenting the Pacesetter award
to Toni at Bethel's homecoming festivities
on October 3, Alumni Director Curt
Fauth spoke of many service activities
in which she has been involved since
gradua ting from Bethel - free clinic
volunteer work, Sunday school teaching,
children's program le~der, junior high
tutoring, and counselling at an inner
city recreation center. Out of these many
expressions of compassion which Toni
has demonstrated for others, the Bethel

fo·r Christian' fo·rmo't .
by Duane Turner
KA-BY Radio 56, . broadcasting songs
of the Savior, has started the, year with
the best response in the three years
of its existence.
KA-BY,with over 400 albums in i
library, plays a straight Christian format.
John Ensor, General Manager, explains,
"It's my belief that we can't mix Christ
with the world. So in order to glorify
God more, we decided to play music
that is directed at Him instead of trying
to mix Christian and non-Christian music
together. "
John said that the students' response
to the format is mostly favorable. "Every
once in a while I get comments
that we should play rock music, but
mbst of those kids don't listen to KABY
anyway." He continued, "I get a
lot more comments from people saying
that they enjoy the music and hope
it continues with this format."
If based on the requests alone, KABY
has a bigger listening audience than
ever. Every week, based on the students'
requests, Warren Sevander is compiling
a "top 15" for Christian songs as well
as the top five most popular albums.
Richard Alvarez, Music Director, said
that they are trying to expose the Bethel
students to the Christian sounds.
He said, "I think that there is a stereo-~
type of Christian music that we are
trying to break."

Alumnus olf the year:
Tuttle honored by grads
The biographical data of Bethel College's 1975 Alumnus
of the Year, David Tuttle of Phoenix, ArizO'na, typically
lists a succession of vocational undertakings. After attending
Bethel from 1948-50, he earned his B.S. in agricultural education
from the University of Minnesota and then took two
years of post graduate studies in plant genetics. This prepared
him in 1955 for work with the Pfister Associated Growers,
Inc., Aurora, Illinois, as a corn research geneticist.
Through that firm he was led into the computer programming
and system analysis field. In 1960 he was employed by Royal
McBee Corporation in Arlington, Virginia, asa computer
research analyst and , in 1961 joined the Librascope Corporation
of LaCrescenta, Calif., which set the stage for advanced
computer systems work with General Electric in Euclid,
Ohio, and Phoenix, Ariz. Currently he is responsible for
computer related training of state employees for the Data
Processing Division of the State of Arizona. One facet of
this involves working with prison inmates who do computer
programming for state agencies.
conti nued from page 1
Two other concerns of students, besides that of general
school finances, have been discussed recently by the Student
Senate. One is that of the Heritage Program, the student
oriented project aimed at adding another building to Bethel's
educational complex. Dr. 'Lundquist acknowledges that
the indebtedness of the school is the key financial concern .
now, but says, "I am enthusiastically in suppoyt of the
Heritage Program. The student interest is great."
Another concern discussed in Student Senate is that of the
Regent proposals to restrict student representation on the
College Committee of the Board of Regents to invitation
only, and to limit representation to the Board from two
college students to one. Dr. Lundquist asserts, in response
to these issues, "It is my general feeling that student
representation from the college is usually welcome on most
levels of the Board of Regents; we do not place many
restrictions on their representation. It is our desire to. diminish
the number of college student representative$ because
representatives (from the seminary, VEC, and the college)
are beginning to outnumber regents."
Dr. Lundquist has two goals for the upcoming school
year: "First, I want to help planning processes for . all
administrators so that we can become managers of the
futur~ and not custodians of the present; second, I have
a great concern that college academics become intertwineq
with spiritual values."

But the amazing fact about Tuttle's life is that all he
accomplished has been without benefit of sight. A disease
of the retina robbed him of vision during his college years
and he was declared legally blind in 1956. Now in retrospect
as alumnus of the year, he marvels at "how wondex:fully
God has taken care of my family and me since school
days at Bethel. My goal only is to be sensitive to' His
will and command."
In tribute to David Tuttle on October 3 at Bethel's
homecoming festivities, Alumni DirectOr Curt Fauth quoted
the words of John MiltO'n: "God doth not need either man's
_ work or his own gifts; who best bear his mild yoke, they
serve him best."
High goals characterize
wom~n's volleyball team
by Laura Jean DeVries
Potential, determination an9 togetherness characterize the
1975 Girls Volleyball Team.
"Our goals are in sight," said the new coach, Naomi
Massa. "With the momentum of improvement in skills and
attitude so far, we have the potential to be the best team
in Minnesota." "
Bethel's A and B squads won their matches with Macalester
on September 28 at the first home game. The away
matches at St. Catherine on September 30 and St. Olaf
on October 28 were close contesJs but Bethel was · defeated.
With Christ as. the main goal, the desire to win has
a deeper meaning. Terry Schimbeno said that, in a game,
being a Christian "makes me want to give beyond a hundred
per cent because I'm doing it for God."
Co-captains Terry Schimbeno, Sr., and Jo Watlov, Soph.,
head the A squad also including Gail Anderson, Soph. ;
Jane Hegle, Sr.; Bobbi Hersch, Soph.; Linda Johnson, Sr.;
Cathy J. Olson, Jr.; and Cindi.Ramm, Fr.
Captain Debbie Nelson, Jr.; Suzy Edwall, Soph.; Pam
Graitzow, Sr.; Julie Karlsgodt, Jr.; Roth Moser, Soph.;
Janet Reynolds, Fr.; Trish Swanson, Sr.; and Robyn Wohler,
Fr. are on the B squad.
Naomi said that she enjoyed coaching these girls who ·
showed real care for each other and stressed unity in
their game. Debbie Nelson said, "Playng together as a team
rather than individuals is important in our performanc(!.
We're giving everything we've got for God and for each
other and enjoying it."
The next home games are Monday, Oct. 13, against Carleton
and Thursday, Oct. 16, against Concordia.

Harriers defeat powerful Winona
The Bethel cross country team gained sweet revenge
last Saturday as they defeated powerful Winona State Unversity
and three other schools in the process. Winona, who
was twenty-seventh in the nation last year, had beaten the
Royals the week before by only four points. But things
were different for this Homecoming meet run on Bethel's
newly improved five-mile cross country course at Como
Park. Running in sunny seventy degree weather with a noticeable
southerly wind of 10 miles an hour, Jeff Larson cruised
to an easy victory with a fantastic new course record time
of 26 :12. He stayed with the front-runners for the first two
miles then forged ahead and crossed the finish line over
thirty seconds ahead of the second place finisher. Larry Caldwell
was the only other Bethel runner to break into the top
five by placing fourth with a 27 :23 clocking.
Crossing the finish line next for the Royals were Curt
Brown, seventh, and Dave Clapp, eighth, with times of
27 :55 and 28 :02, respectively. Dave's final kick over the last
300 yards was tremendous as he passed two Winona runners,
beating the second one by only a few inches with his final
lunge at the tape. Brad Strom's outstanding performance was
the highlight of the meet as he finished eleventh in 28 :20,
running the best race of his career and there by making
the difference between first and second place for the team.
Fi1rst 10'1/ g,oll season cOlmpleted
Rounding out Bethel's top seven runners were Tim Timp,
twentieth, (29 :18), and Greg Kramer, twenty-second, (29:
38). Bill Whittaker's great final effort gave him twentyeighth
spot with a 30 :19 timing and Dan Hed finished thirtyfirst
in a time of 31 :13. When team point totals were added
up, it showed Bethel with a substantial victory at 31"
points, followed by Winona with 36, Macalester with 76,
St. Thomas with 129, and Gustavus with no score. (They only
had four runners competing.)
Coach Steve Whittaker had a few comments on his team's
performance: "All last week we were pointing to beat Winona
and we accomplished our goal. This important victory
really gives us confidence for what we can do for the rest
of the season. Also, Brad Strom's performance really shows
that you are only as good as your fifth man. I would like
to thank everybody who came out and watched us perform.
You don't know how much that helps and how much we appreciate
it."
Tomorrow morning the Royals are running in the tough
St. Olaf Invitational. Definitely the harriers toughest competition
of the season will be faced here with over ten
schools, including such powerhouses as St. Olaf and Hamline,
competing in the meet.
Roy'al golfers place third in conference
by Dale Johnson
A young Royal team finished third in the Tri-State Conference
during the first year of fall golf. Northwestern (Iowa)
finished first with Yankton placing second.
Fall golf came to Bethel as a result of a conference
coaches' meeting. The coaches decided upon fall golf because
of the potential for a longer season and because the
players are in better shape because they have been playing all
summer.
Coach John Merritt mentioned that there was one disadvantage
to fall golf. Most schools in the area have not
gone to fall golf, which makes it difficult to get matches.
Coach Merritt feels that fall golf is "definitely a trend for
the future."
Westmar, Sioux Falls and non-conference Dordt added
to the competition of the conference meet.
Jim Landis and Craig Hanson were strong freshmen
for the Royals this fall. Landis was the number five golfer
in the state of Minnesota last year. Junior Tom Steller,
last year's MVP, and sophomore Daryl Peterson, last year
an all-conference golfer, both played consistently superior
golf.
Freshman Ed Speck and sophomores John Hougen and
Dan Visel added to the strength of the team.
Spring practice starts in February and is open to any
student who wishes to be on the team. The highlight of the
four week competition is the District meet.
At the end of each match, the four best scores of the
five players are added up to get the final score. This is a
reprieve to a golfer who has had a bad day.
The golf team is allotted $950 to cover traveling expenses,
balls and green fees. This figure is stretched out to meet
both the fall and spring season expenses.
John Merritt debuted as golf coach last year ~th a team
that placed second in conference. He is a second year student
at Bethel Seminary and has been married 16 months. He was
on the Bethel golf team both his junior and senior years.
Coach Merritt is convinced that golf has many benefits.
He explains, "Golf builds character in that it improves selfcontrol
and concentration. I believe that 95 per cent of the
game is mental, and self-confidence is very important because
of this."
With the experience of fall golf that Bethel had this year,
Coach Merritt feels that we have an excellent chance of
placing first in conference next fall and also feels that we
should be strong in the District meet this spring.

1M football marked by
tough defensive battles
by Scott Anderson
. Defense was the key during the men's intramural football
r ga~~s played last Saturday. With the season almost
over, most of the teams are bearing down and some excellent
games are being played. The only lopsided game of
the day was a 31-0 shelling of Bright-N by Off-Campus East.
Saturday's early game caught the Faculty still asleep as they
lost to Townhouse I, 7-0. Edgren Gold played tough defense
and edged Townhouse II by a score of 14-0. The 11 a.m.
game generated the most excitement as Edgren Blue and New.
Dorm battled to a 6-6 tie. Edgren Blue finally won in
overtime. The last game of the day saw Edgren Green
continue its string of forfeits, this time losing to Off-Campus
West.
Off-Campus East and West continue to lead the pack
with identical 5-0 records. Townhouse II is right behind with
a 4-1 record. Bright-N is next at 4-2, followed by Townhouse
I and Edgren Gold at 2-3. The Faculty and New Dorm
have a 2-4 record while Edgren Blue is 1-4. Edgren Green
nails down the cellar with an unscathed record of 0:'6.

Royals hold off Braves
by Dan Swanson
The Royals' defense held off a late Sioux Falls' comeback
to preserve a 21-14 win last Saturday at Homecoming.
Playing before 3000 fans, the team raised its record to 4-1.
The first half was a defensive struggle as both teams
had trouble getting any offense going. A strong wind hampered
the passing game that produced a number of interceptions.
Neither team could capitalize on mistakes or good
field position.
With time running out in the first half, Sioux Falls made
the first costly mistake. They punted directly to Kim Walker
who went for the sidelines, got the help of good blocking,
and turned upfield, breaking loose all the way for a touchdown.
Halftime score had Bethel ahead to stay 7-0.
After halftime activities, the Royals came out knowing
they had to establish a running attack. Willie Gardner
provided just that as he grinded, turned, and churned for
142 total yards, mostly coming in the second half. Gardner
scored one touchdown and helped sustain other drives as he
fought off tackles and put on a superb performance. Mark
Rapinchuk also ran 30 yards for a touchdown, a score
that provided the winning margin.
It was definitely the defense that won the game for
the Royals. Preventing Sioux Falls from capitalizing on
Bethel mistakes all game, the defense also provided the
offense with good field position to help set up scores.
Leafblad blocked two punts, both proving to be extremely
important. With only a few minutes left in the game, Sioux
Falls, playing catch-up ball all day, was given one final
opportunity as they recovered a bad Royals pitch-out. The
Bra ves could not move the ball and on a big fourth down
play, Wayne Lavrenz sacked the quarterback to give Bethel
the ball back and preserve the win.
Tomorrow, the Royals travel to Westmar a team that
has proven to always be a jinx. Bethel play~d their worst
game last year when they lost to Westmar at home. The
players have been looking forward to this game ever since.
The game, starting at 1 :30, will be Homecoming for Westmar,
making it that much tougher.
A win at Westmar is a must and would make the
next two games extremely exciting and important. In a big
upset last weekend, Yankton defeated Northwestern 20-17,
leaving the Conference title up for grabs. After Westmar, the
Royals will travel to Yankton on the 18th before hosting
Northwestern on the 25th.
