Nursing at Bethel still under study
by Laura Alden
In 1961 Bethel College and Mounds­Midway
H~spital School of Nursing con­sidered
merging. Since that time, con­sistent
progress has brought the tWo
schools closer to that 14-year-old goal.
Last spring, Bethel contracted to staff
the liberal arts courses at Mounds-Mid­way.
However, plans for total adoption
of the nursing school are still under
study.
Four issues face any final decision
regarding Bethel's ability to confer a
baccalaureate degree in nursing. First,
a large budget subsidy would be in
order, even if Mounds-Midway donated
its lab equipment. Director of Academic
Affairs Dwight Jessup estimated that
the cost would be more than $100,000
above the tuition of the nursing students.
A second issue concerns facilities. In
addition to classroom space, more office
space would be needed for the faculty.
Additional books and periodicals would
have to be supplied in the LRC.
The questions of cutback in other pro­grams,
student displacement and male­female
ratio must be dealt with also.
Finally, the compatability of a nursing
program within a liberal arts framework
must be established. Does a "profession­al"
program comply with Bethel's ed­ucational
policies?
While these issues are being discussed,
a program of Bethel/Mounds-Midway co­operation
goes on. Bethel faculty mem­bers
are teaching general education
courses at the nursing school for which
college credit is given at Bethel. The
program is coordinated by a committee
of personnel from both schools. Admis­sion
of nursing students is handled by
Mounds-Midway based upor;t its own ac­ademic
requirements and Christian life­style
standards (similar to Bethel's).
The current program allows Mounds­Midway
and Bethel students greater ease
of transfer. The nursing school has chan­ged
its calendar to a 4-1-4 schedule
to match Bethel's. The program appears
to be working well for the time being~
Grass grows
at Bethel
by Diana Gonzalez
Virgin grass prairies are, for the most
part, a thing of the past. So it came
as a great surprise to biology professors .
Russ Johnson and Gregg Johnson when
they stumbled (not literally) upon some
Indian grass on campus last week.
The term "virgin grass prairie" does
not imply that man has never laid foot
on the land. It rather means that he
has never cultivated it or has never
built his roads and houses upon it.
Sorghastrum nutans (alias Indian
grass) will not grow where man has ;
disturbed the environment. Therefore, it
is very rare, particularly in Minnesota . .
The patch of virgin grassland at Bethel
ranges between one and two acres."lt
is the largest stand of Indian grass
I have seen," commented Rus~ J ohn­son.
Indian grass belongs to the tall grass
prairies which, in the days when Indians
roamed the country, ranged from western
Missouri, Minnesota and most of Iowa
to the eastern Dakotas into Nebraska,
and even down into Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas. The Twin Cities area is locat­ed
in a buffer zone whch separated the
forest from the grasslands. Thus, where
Bethel now stands, there was very likely
once a mixture of hardwoods and grass­es,
sorghastrum nutans included.
In those days the Indians often set
prairie fires in the fall, stimulating the
grass to grow and eradicating the en­croaching
forest. When frontiersmen
came to homestead, they eliminated fire.
)aks then invaded the running grass­lands.
What grasslands they were! They were
dominated by a mixture of cordgrasses,
Indian grass (up to 6% feet tall) and
big bluestem (up to 12 feet) . A man
could ride horseback through the country
and hardly, if at aU, be seen.
Prairie conservation is a , very current
issue. The difficulty of it lies in the
fertility of the prairie - its soil is
the richest in the world. In Minnesota,
patches of virgin prairie this size are

Birthday plans probed
As even the most unaware American knows, we are in the
early stages of the Bicentennial celebration. Festivities are
being planned and events initiated across the nation on
the eve of our country's 200th birthday. Patriotic fever
seems to be growing, especially in our own region of the coun­try
(as evidenced by. the record crowds visiting the "Free­dom
Train" at Minnehaha Falls). One of the biggest birth­day
parties in the history of the world is just beginning.
The general spirit of the Bicentennial, as evidenced by
current media rhetoric, seems to be that of "get into Ameri­ca,"
and "build up, don't tear down our nation." This is
fine to a point; we should, as a nation, never become too
callous to realize the obvious virtues of America. However,
the excesses of such a spirit are already being mani­fested.
A pattern of obsessive back-patting and blind
nationalism is coming forth. The "love-it-or-Ieave-it" synd­rome
seems to be part and parcel of the Bicentennial cele­bration.
It seems to us that America needs to carefully examine
her entire Bicentennial program. We must attempt to de­termine
where the past 200 years have taken us, and
what changes and improvements are needed as we face
a troubled future. To blindly acknowledge America's great­ness
without genuine concern for the problems that impede
that greatness is to commit a major error.
Bethel College is a participant in this giant "birthday
build-up." This year's convocations will feature speakers
dealing with Bicentennial themes. This seems to be an ex­cellent
way for Bethel to become involved in the national
festivities. However, let's fight against narrow-mindedness
this year. The last thing we need is a parade of toothy­grinned,
alligator-shoed, flag waving Horatio Alger look­alikes.
It is our hope that this year's convocation speakers
will represent viewpoints. and backgrounds that reflect the
whole of the American scene, and not merely the upper mid­dle
class. W.A.S.P. culture with which we are familiar.

Letters
Pro,f examines-apathy
Dear Sir:
Your Student Senate probe was pro­vocative.
I agree that student apathy
and the Senate's failure to establish itself
"as a legitimate and distinctive organ
of Bethel College" are two important
pieces in the puzzle.
But apathy arises not only from ig­norance
but also from attitudes of su­periority.
That is, one who is ignorant
of some ' matter is often unable to gen­erate
much enthusiasm for dealing with
it. Second, one who thinks of himself
as superior may be unable to see value
in some particular matter.
Without sufficient evidence to the con­trary,
the" typical student is likely to
assume that the Senate is not really
doing anything significant or that there
is no reason to understand what they
are all about.
Insofar as this is the case, the Sen­ate
must focus on info·rming the student
body in efficient and effective ways.
For if students are uninformed, the in­formers
will have to take the . respons­ibility
if they hope to change things.
Secondly, the Senate must also focus
on highlighting . the importance of its
accomplishments so that a student can
come to believe that his own involvement
in it might be of value.
If a student looks at his own im­mediate
concerns as more valuable than
the corporate and long-term concerns
of the Senate, he will surely not involve
himself in its activity until he first re­arranges
his priorities. This is another
important piece, I believe, in the puzzling
and perplexing indifference of students
to the many opportunities for building
a program and a community which in
the long run aims. to serve everyone
more effectively.

Boring ~a'gs m'ocked
Dear Sir:
The other day in Bethel's LRC, being
in the mood for a little restful enter­tainment,
I approached the magazine
and periodical racks.
I first sat down with a copy of the
"Journal of the National Association of
Women's Deans and Counselors," but af­ter
struggling through the title found
. that I just could not sink my teeth
into it.
In place of it I picked up a copy
of the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists,"
figuring that if other Bethel students
were reading it that perhaps I should
also. I soon decided it was for upper­classmen
only.
Not despairing in my quest for enter­tainment,
I selected at random two other
periodicals, weighing them for possible
content. I found that while "Genetic Psy­chology
Mot:lographs" contained a lot of
heavy material, the flashy yellow and
white cover of the "National Association
of Teachers of Singing Bulletin" was
more appealing to the eye. What does
one do in ·the case of a tie?
Tiring at last, I picked up the August
issue of "Polish Perspectives': and settl­ed
down in a bean-bag chair with it.
- Opening it to the middle, I placed it
over my face in a roof-like fashion and
proceeded to catch a few z's.
Seriously, would it not be good to
ha ve a dozen or so purely entertaining
magazines on the shelves? Magazines
that are readable by the general popu­lace
(of which college students are a
part)? Magazines with lots of pictures
and not So much intellectual verbosity?
Perhaps if students would offer suggest­ions
to the powers that be in the LRC,
a few mags of this type might be ob­tained.

Movie manners maligned
Dear Sir:
I .wish to express my congratulations
and thanks to those who viewed "The
Emigrants" Friday night. I was very
impressed with the adult-like behavior
of those students present. It made me
proud of my school and made me feel
right at home.
I thought that we were a good example
to those visiting, including some younger
people. We displayed a level of matura­tion
that must have been at least that
of junior high school students. I was
very pleased to see that we had no
sex hangups on our minds whatsoever.
And our patience and helpfulness when
the projectionist had technical difficul­ties
was outstanding. We indeed proved
that Christians can and do work together
ip love and unity.
We were also very courteous during
moving parts of the movie and did not
attempt to improve the quality of the
music with the addition of a percussion
section.
When I realised what fine examples
we were as Christians and how you
helped me and others enjoy the movie,
I just had to take time to thank and
commend you all. Let's keep on shinin'
on!

A ,New Wind
by Mark Johnson and Bob Moeller
This year has begun with a fresh wind of excitement and
enthusiasm - an enthusiasm for God to teach us and use
us to accomplish his work in our studies, corporate worship,
and service. This expectant and giving spirit began with
Welcome Week and has continued to spread itself in many
different ways. "Giving" and "service" seem to be key
phrases in the vocabulary and lifestyle of those , who are
influencing others. This is true in the unity found in the town~
houses and dorms, and in the excitement that is growing in
the Christian Service Department, as well as in the visions
the Student Senate has for this year.
It is within this climate that we, as Student Association
officers, would like to present to the Bethel community a
specific need and related vision. We believe that the most
important problem to be faced in the days ahead for Bethel
is a lack of space and a corresponding need- for additional
facilities. It is fast becoming obvious that we need addition­al
room ' in the L.R.C., more classroom space, more faculty
offices, and more area for social interaction and activity.
We need a centralizing of our administration to serve the
student body more effectively. So what is the solution? We
need to build an administration building!
Two questions come into mind: 1) What is in it for us,
the students? 2) How can we help when we're already in
debt up to our eyebrows?
To begin with, this building would solve overcrowding to
a great extent. It would include a student union for the cam­pus
as a whole, and it would centralize the services available
to you as a student, such as the Clarion, Spire, and Senate
offices. .
In response to the second question, there are several
things which you as a student (albeit poverty stricken)
can do to help make this building a reality. Begin by pray­ing
about this need as well as Bethel's entire financial sit­uation.
Then think of those relatives, friends and business­men
whom you could 'write to and share printed materials
with about the project. Finally, consider in prayer the possi­bility
of making a pledge of faith to begin the project,
regardless of its amount. For those whom we are going to
ask for ,financial help outside of the Bethel community, it will
be the quality of your ,giving, not the quantity, that will
make an impact upon them.
The construction of the administration building was ten -
atively scheduled for 1979. We need it as quickly as God will
allow it to be built.

New building 'projected
by Dawn Hart
Since the commencement of school four weeks ago, there
have been the undertones of a new project. The project is
the "Heritage Program" and its goal is the raising of $500,000
to build a new administrative building. It is a student­lead,
student-oriented, student-funded program, designed to
enhance the quality of education at Bethel College.
The project was born last semester and nurtured this
summer during the lingering illness of Chuck Haaland. "I
feel that this project is the reason I am alive today. God
gave me this job to do for Him," Chuck commented. "With­in
God's will, i see this project as something the Bethel
community can do together."
The Heritage Program is aimed to involve Bethel students,
faculty, alumni and suppJrters of Bethel. The most important
phase begins now with prayer support .by the students. "This
isn't a two-person effort," explained Chuck, referring to Mark
Johnson, his co-worker. "it's a student project. We want
students to begin praying for God's guidance in this pro­ject.
Does God want it to go and, if so, what can I, as
a student, do to help? We must build a real attitude of
prayer."
In the future, the students working on this project want .­to
raise money in a variety of ways. Benefit concerts,

asking for funds from Conference churches, and asking stu­dents
to give beyond their regular tithes top the list. Al­ready,
mOl1ey is being pledged from organizations and support-ers
of Bethel. The Public Action Committee has promised
to give the proceeds from the Marathon Basketball game
to the project, and churches have pledged a number of dollars
from their congregations.
An added incentive for the support of this project is the
possibility of adding a fourth floor to the proposed . three
floor building. The first three floors would hold offices for
administration, faculty, and student organizations (i.e. Student
Senate, Clarion, and Spire). This W.ould ensure the availability
9f President Lundquist on campus and would leave several
rooms in the present complex open for classes. The fourth
floor would be a Student Union Center with picture windows
and a large fireplace. This Student Union would hold the
overflow of the lounges and the coffeeshop and would pr.ovide
a more casual surrounding for meetings.
. The Heritage Program will kick off officially during
Thanksgiving or Christmas, beginning a full year of intensive
campaigning. A multimedia presentation is being planned for
outreach into churche~, and inf.ormative literature is being
printed. The Public Affairs Office and the Board of Re­gents
have promised support in any ways they can help,
and it is hoped that students will offer their time and
effort.

Broken Arcs

One of the most hallowed traditions here at Bethel is the
"all-nighter." For the inexperienced freshman or the absurd­ly
disciplined upperclassman, the "all-nighter" consists of
staying up all night to cram for a test so you can flunk it
with a sense of self-respect. This sacred event creates a true
sense of brotherhood and unity when done with fellow ble!lry­eyed
students; in fact, certain students come together once
or twice a month f.or the sole purpose of pulling an "all­nighter'"
together. One of these gr.oups consists of Mark
Troxel, Greg Wilcox, and myself. Last Tuesday night,
facing the first important tests of the year, we gathered
for our initial group "get-together" of the year. The follow­ing
resume of events will, hopefully, inspire the creation of
more such groups in the future.
(location: my apartment)
10:53 P.M. - An air of expectancy seems to permeate the
air as I wait for Mark and Greg to arrive. Gayle (my
wife) is preparing a pot of coffee to put on the stove be­fore
she retires to bed. (Although she also is a last minute
student, she has nothing due tomorrow.)
10 :57 P.M. - Gayle wishes me luck and goes to bed.
11 :10 P.M. - Mark arrives with his theology books piled up
under his arm. A hearty welcome, and he joyously informs
me that he has not opened his theology textbook this year.
I congratulate him upon his dedication, considering his Thee
exam is tomorrow.
11:27 P.M. - Greg arrives. Ignoring our greetings, he heads
for the coffee. He's a realist; Medieval test tomorrow, so
he needs to get started on the caffeine injections.
11:41 P.M. - Greg on the sofa, I in the rocking chair, and
Mark walking around (getting "psyched up").
12 :15 A.M. - Greg in the rocking chair, I on the sofa, and
Mark walking around.
12 :33 A.M. - Greg haughtily asks Mark when he · plans
to sit down and start studying. Mark replies by boasting ,that
he has figured out how to memorize all of the Bible verses
he needs to know in five minutes. Greg and I laugh mali­ciously,
having taken the class before; we know they c.ouldn't
be memorized in five days, much less five minutes .
12 :45 A.M. - Mark begins to study .
. 12 :50 A.M. - Mark concedes defeat. Second pot of coffee.
2 :01 A.M: - The excitement of the first "all-nighter" of the
year is wearing thin.
2 :51 A.M. - Greg asks me why, if my take-home test is so
easy, I'm still on the first question. I inform him that John
Donne is too deep to be rushed through.
3 :15 A.M. - Mark announces that he's losing motivation.
I glare at him - no quitters. .
3 :50 A.M. - Mark goes to the bathro.om.
4 :12 A.M. - Mark still in the bathroom.
4 :30 A.M. - Mark still in the bathroom. Greg and I P.ound
on the door and, receiving no response, open it. Mark is
lying prone on the floor, sleeping peacefully. We kick him,
wake him up, and force him back to the front room. No
quitters. Fifth pot of coffee.

Freddy, Sonny, Billie: Nashville sounds
by Paul Healy
What better way could there be to spend an autumn
evening than sitting back and enjoying some good live
country music? It was this thought that prompted me to attend
last Friday night's concert at the Minneapolis Auditorium,
featuring the Nashville sounds of Billie Jo Spears, Sonny
James, and Freddy Fender. Accompanied by two "country"
friends who share my positive attitude toward this style of
music, I sat, stood, cheered, groaned, laughed, and clapped
my way through a show that lasted nearly three hours. Al­though
there were some problems, incl'Uding lighting and
sound mishaps and fans interfering with the performers, the
evening was quite enjoyable.
Billie Jo Spears, a semi-star of recent vintage, opened
the night with a 45-minute set, backed up by Freddy Fender's
band. After beginning with a pseudo-country rendition of
"Johnny B. Goode," complete with a Chuck Berry imitation
guitar solo, Billie Jo stumbled through a repertoire of songs
that were, for the most part, beyond her musical capabilities.
After a couple of Ray Price standards, including "Take Me
as I Am or Let Me Go," Ms. Spears attempted two songs
that were popularized by a couple of country music's best
women vocalists. "I've Never Loved Anyone More," lacked
the compassion and vocal control of Lynn Anderson, and
Linda Ronstadt's hit, "When Will I Be Loved," accomplished
little more than showcasing her choppy, throaty voice, and
her suprising lack of inspiration. The above songs were not
total washouts however, due to some imaginitive steel guitar
licks skillfully and creatively rendered by Ms. Spears' hus­band.
(I didn't catch his name.) Billie Jo then made her
biggest mistake, as she attempted to do a Bob Wills number
entitled "I Loye You Because." Wills' amazing Texas swing
music does not easily lend itself to interpretation, especially
by a band that is primarily familiar with Freddy-Fender-style
country 'rock. The result was a rather confused mixture of
over-drumming, unclear guitar parts, and nonassertive voc­als.
Finally, she got to her "good material," or, stated
differently, those songs that she was capable of do~ng. Her
finale, "Blanket on the Ground," was actually pretty good
and was repeated after a rather forced call-back.
Sonny James, the original "Southern Gentleman," who
first appeared on the country scene in 1954, was the next
to take the stage. His one hour set was a totally enjoy­able
mixture of old and new songs, instrumental solos, and
good old country humor. Sonny's backup group, the Southern

Gentlemen, clad in oversized white tuxedos, provided him
not only with quality instrumental ~upport but with excellent
harmony, which is essential to good country music. The
piano player was quite good, mIxmg some standard
Nashville licks with honky-tonk. Sonny handled the guitar
work himself and showed a surprising degree of compe­tence.
He even did a prolonged fiddle number, complQ-te with
a crobatic techniques that would ' have done Uncle Dave
Macon proud. The highlight of the entire evening was Sonny's
medley of hits (he has at least 30 numbers that have been
major hits at one time or another) highlighted by "Young
Love," the first song that he ever recorded (1954). After
singing some of hiS latest hits, ir:lCluding "A Little Bit South
of Sascatoun" and "Band of Gold," Sonny' flnshed With
"Running Bear," one of his all-time greats. Following this
truly amazing performance, he showed why he is called the
Southern Gentleman by staying onstage throughout the entire
break (20 minutes ), signing autographs and talking with his
many fans. I felt compelled to at least go down and get
a closer look at this incredible superstar of country music
and was rewarded by a "Howdy, why don't you come and
visit me down South sometime." .'
Freddy Fender closed out the evening with a rather short
set that was marred by several incidents of "fan inter­ference."
Freddy is an overnight sensation in country music,
due to several recent "gold recordings" and numerous T.V.
appearances. Many of the women in the crowd wanted to get
pictures and autographs, and didn't have the patience to
wait until after the performance. Police were not to be found,
and the disturbances were allowed to continue. Freddy seem­ed
quite unconcerned however, as he breezed his way through
a fairly wide range of songs, some of which were his own
and others that are relatively well-established country stand­ards.
Opening with Hank Williams' "Jambalaya," Freddy
tried feverishly to please his fans and, for the most part,
was successful. However, he was never able to attain the
·level of crowd response of Sonny James. Even as he broke
into "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights," his latest hit, the
crowd seemed rather quiet. It may have been a bit dis­appointing
for Freddy, but it is no easy task to follow a
man of Sonny James' stature.

Honey tree
I•n concert
Honey tree , a talented female singer­gUitarist,
will be in concert tomorrow
night at 8 :00 P.M. in the Physical Edu­cation
Center. The concert will conclude
a weekend of events in conjunction with
Bethel Homecoming 1976. '
Honey tree , whose real name is Nancy
Henigbaum, is just beginning a musical
career dedicated to spreading the gospel.
This summer she was on tour in the
western United States and has tentative
plans t6 travel to Europe this November.
Her home base is the "Adam's Apple,"
which is .a coffeehouse in Fort Wayne,
Indiana.
Also, she has put out two albums
on the Myrrh label: "Honey tree," and
"The Way I Feel." Although she has
gained national recognition in the music
world for these albums} it seems that
more attention to her music is yet to
come. Myrrh recently was purchased by
ABC-Dunhill Corp., and plans are under­way
for Myrrh artists (including ' Honey­tree)
to receive greater exposure in the
American music market, including ap­pearances
on TV shows such as In Con­cert.

Yet, for all her recent success, Honey­tree
hasno t always had it easy. Re~

years, she rebelled . and got intothe
"drug scene." Or, to quote her: "I start­ed
hanging around with older people
and doing things I thought 'mature' peo­ple
did, like dope and sex. I thought
I really knew what life was all about."
But she was never quite satisfied. Still
searching, she met John Lloyd, director
of the "Adam's Apple." Lloyd witnessed
to her and soon she was able to say,
"I thought of my past life and the
things I had done and the pieces just
began to fall together around Jesus."
She began to sing at the "Adam's Ap­ple,"
establishing an incredible , rapport
with the youth.
Now she is a national recording art­ist,
and yet her heartfelt devotion to
Christ has not changed. Her goal is
still to, "Get the message out." Through
her beautiful music and the Spirit within,
she touches peoples' he'arts, old and
young alike.

Philosophy club
announces
meeting
The first meeting of Veritas, Bethel's
philosophy club, will be Tuesday, October
7, at 5 :30, p.m., and will consist of
a progressive dinner with different cour­ses
being served at each of the phil­osophy
professors' homes. The meeting
is open to all philosophy majors, cog­nates,
and all those with a genuine in­terest
in philosophy.
"Several misundwstandings might
exi,st concerning this dinner meeting,"
commented Donald Ebb, student assist- .
. ant to 'Professor Paul Harris, and self­appointed
valedictorian of the philosophy
majors. "First, it should be said that
contrary to rumor, Mel Stewart will not
be having a culinary salute to Thales
by serving watercress sandwiches. Se­condly,
let me respond to another rumor
that has been haunting the philosophy
department since the initial announce­ment
of the meeting. Dr. Von Schuller
may be in attendance, but I can offer
no guarantee. His busy schedule may
prevent him from coming, but we are
all hoping that he can work it into
his schedule. If he does attend, I have
his word that he will deliver a paper
entitled, 'Pre-Socratic Existentialism: A
Metaphysical Response to the Cartesian
Circle.' All things considered, it should
be a fascinating evening."
Those wishing to attend should meet
. at 5 :30 on the southwest steps of the
Academic Center. There will be no
charge for the evening.

Bethel food service
replies to complaints
about prices, meal cards
by Ka.thleeri Asselin
Bethel students are reacting to rising food service prices
with a long list of complaints.
1. Why are food prices so much higher than last year?
2. Why are the portions decreased along with the higher
prices?
3. ' Shouldn't the increased enrollment lower prices rather
than raise them?
4. Why must the girls , be "gypped" by having to buy as
many cards as the guys, only to sell unused cards at a loss?
5. After comparison to other food service systems, has the
'meal card system proven superior?
Wayne Erickson and Alice Johnson, food service co-man­agers,
feel students don't realize the full scope of the pre­sent
program .. They outlined the available food systems of
colleges.
The flat-rate systems are divided into "all-you-can-eat"
or limited portions, straight cash systems, and the meal
card system.
They believe that the meal card system is fairest since
you only pay for what you eat. At $450 a year, the Bethel
program is one .of the "cheapest board rates in the United
States."
Defending the meal card system, Alice said, "You have
I to consider that a't other colleges you don't receive ' a refund
when you miss a meal or are off-campus for an extended
time. At Bethel, the meal ticket is used only when you are
on campus and applies for fall semester, Interim, or spring
semester."
Wayne Erickson's reasons to opt for the present system
boasted ' of having "as much or more variety and as good
or better food than any other college."
Attention All Students!!
STOP.
ask yourself this question
and co~sider its implications
for your life.

In comparison,. the system of the flat fee is an injus­tice
to the girls or lighter eaters, according to the co­managers.
With colleges charging between $600 to $800, the
light eaters are paying for the heavy eaters.
They noted that some schools don't have meals over the
weekends, but still charge a high flat-rate. Northwestern Col­lege
priced board .last year at $625 for five days and no
weekend food service.
Wayne cited the necessity to meet the demands of the
college budget, expenses and overhead while covering the
rising labor costs. He continued by stating that outside of a
few items, food prices at Bethel haven't been raised for two
years.
' ''We are trying to save prices and cut costs, but not
cut the quality of food. What isn't considered by students
are the little costs that add up," he explained.
Natural gas rates, utilities, cleaning supplies, and equip­ment
repair are several areas , of rising costs. Alice further
noted the money spent replacing silverware. (Fifty percent of
the spoons were missing at the end of last year.)
As far as decreased -t>ortions go, the co-managers insist
that only the size of pie is smaller and all other portions
are the same or larger.
The increased enrollment hasn't affected the food prices
since the same number of students are on the meal plan from
the two campuses. If more housing was available on campus,
the labor costs would be lowered by more students being
fed by tbe same staff.
Answering the dilemma of girls selling cards, they pointed
out that students are ~ncouraged to sell food cards among
themselves rather than buy from Food Service. Alice stated
the $450 minimum board for new campus and $200 for old
campus are not extravagarit costs when one thinks about the
money spent by students in off-campus ea.teries.
Wayne Erickson concluded by saying, "Our budget is no
secret .. we hold an open book. Students can help keep costs
down by such things as crunching milk cartons to save on
expensive trash bags and keeping the Food Service dining
room clean. Rearranging furniture and cleaning up food
ground in the carpet can cost us four or five dollars a shot,
which adds up over a year.
"As far as meal card prices, even if your $450 of tickets
are not used up, you still are eating cheaper and better than
other systems could allow." , '

Intramural Roundup
1M tou rn'aments
alre in full swing
by Lanny Law
"Intramural tournaments are going on
and doing well; participation is really
good," said Dan Swanson, intramural
director.
Pairings are up .for paddleball singles,
tennis doubles, table tennis singles, and
the volleyball double-elimination tourn­ey.
All tourney participants are to check
the intramural (IM) bulletin board (lo­cated
next to central issue in the Phy­~
iCal Education building) to see who
they play. "We are going to have dead­lines,"
Swanson said, "and strictly en­force
them." It is the responsibility of
each player to arrange a time t.o get
the matches played.
Paddleball courts have been reserved
from 7 :45-9 :45 p.m. for tournament mat­ches
only in the next two or three
weeks. Players do not have to play
their matches during this period. How­ever,
when tournament participants
~hoose to play during this time, the
full match is to be written in (eg. John­;
on vs. DeVoe).
In paddleball, last year's finalists Bill
DeVoe and Wally Bomgren should be
the pre-tournament favorites from among
the 60 entries. The table tennis singles
title, won last year by Rick Drake,
will be sought by 30 participants this
year. Also, there are 26 doubles teams
vying for the tennis doubles champion­~
hip.
The double-elimination volleyball tour­nament
will continue to run from 7-
8 p.m. on Monday and Wednesday
next week as well as the following Mon­day.
All are invited to come to the
~m and watch these matches.
"Weare trying to get things started
early so that we can finish before final
exams," Swanson explained. Other 1M
events will be coming up, including the
cross-country meet in two or three weeks.

OC teams prevail
by ,Keith Kramer
Off Campus East had its streak of
shut~uts broken at' three, but they still
managed to overwhelm their opponent,
Edgren Gold 15-6. In other action, Off
Campus West beat the Faculty 16-0.
Green forfeited to Bright-N. Blue and
THI double forfeited.
East had scored 5 points in four games
on the arm of QB Bill Trollinger and
Trollinger was hot again. He hit Dan
Swanson and Paul Van Gorkom for long
touchdowns. Swanson brilliantly made up
for his dropping of a sleeper pass two
weeks earlier by scoring on another
sleeper. But the Gold team wasn't with­out
ability, scoring in the second half on
an end sweep after marching down the
field with a series of flairs, look-ins, and
a bomb.
OC West remained a threat to Eases
championship hopes. The Faculty looked
hapless as the West defense kept them
from crossing the 50-yard line for the
better part of the game. Barry Jones
caught one TD and had another one call­ed
back when he lined up 0ft,~ide.
Comments on 1M this week:
Tim Doten, East cornerback, who was
fburned long to set up Green's only touch­down:
"It couldn't have happened to
a nicer guy."
Tim Traudt, East linebacker, whose
hard hits pushed for the legality of pads
and helmets and numerous rule changes
in future games: "No comment."
Pat Repp, whose cellar-dwelling Ed­gren
Green team didn't show up for
its game: "I have been a stalwart sup­porter
and a player on this team since
the beginning of the season. I feel I've
been let down by the team."
Bruce Peterson of Bright-N, about the
inability of the Edgren Green team to
show: "They were frightened by Bright­N."

When one soccer team of mostly Amer­ican
players challenges another team
that consists of mostly foreign players,
one tends to believe that the American
team is at a definite disadvantage. The
Bethel soccer team found themselves in
just such a predicament last Saturday,
as they were defeated by the University
of Wisconsin at Parkside, 2-1.
Despite the odds, Bethel played good
soccer and were in the game until the
final second ticked off the clock. The
first half of play was probably the best
team effort the team has put forth this
year. Solid c;lefense along with some ex­cellent
passing turned out to be Bethel's
wild card.
Midway through the first half, Dave
Osgood took a pass from Dickie Voth
and streaked down the right side of
the field. His shot on goal came from
a bad angle, but it eluded the grasp
of the goalie and rolled in the left side
of the net for a 1-0 lead.
It looked as though Bethel would go
in at the half with their one goal lead,
but ' Parkside came back and slipped
one in with only two minutes left in
the half.
The second half saw more of the same
action, with Parkside puttirw forth some
nice individual performances and Bethel
playing good team ball. It seemed that
the Royals were going to get their second
tie of the season, but with only 15 min­lltes
left in the game, a Parkside player
kicked a long shot towards the . Bethel
goal. As goalie Paul Biederman leaped,
the ball ricocheted off the crossbar of
the goal, hit Biederman in the back,
and rolled into the goal for the winning
score.
Earlier in the week, the Royals beat
Pillsbury College by the score of 2-0.
It was another victory in a string of
many fo~ Bethel over Pillsbury. Pillsbury
did play an excellent game, especially
when one considers that they usually
are beaten by more than two goals.
The split for the week puts Bethel's
season record at 2-2-1. The Royals will
play their homecoming game tomorrow
at_l0 a.m. here against Carleton College.
The following Monday a game will also
be played here against St. Thomas at
3 p.m.

Homecoming tomorrow
by Dan Swanson
Willie Gardner ran for two touchdowns,
Steve Hage passed for three, and Mike
Anderson intercepted two pass'es, running
one back for a touchdown and leading Be­thel
to a 48-0 whitewashing of Concordia.
For the second consecutive week, the
Royals completely overpowered their op­ponents.
The offensive line, led by captain Craig
Hansen, blew open big holes as running
backs Gardner, Rapinchuk, and Rocholl
combined to roll up 355 yards rushing.
While the offense shone, the defense
played aggressively and well, coming
up with a big shutout.
The Bethel fans again were very vocal
as they cheered the team on. As the
game progressed and the scoring margin
widened, the crowd became rowdy, taunt­ing
Concordia players and fans (few as
there were).
Tomorrow, Sioux Falls College comes
to visit for the big Homecoming game.
Competition will be much tougher than
ere meet Saturd'ay
in the past two weeks and Sioux Falls
will be keyed to win. Last year, the
Royals beat Sioux Falls 14-6, though
Coach Reynolds admits that Bethel "pro­bably
got outplayed."
Last Saturday, while Bethel trounced
Concordia, Sioux Falls absorbed a 28-20
loss to powerful Northwestern of Iowa.
Being a ble to play Northwestern to
such a close decision shows that Sioux
Falls will be no pushover. Having never
beaten a Reynolds-coached Bethel team,
you can be sure they're hungry for a
win.
While Sioux Falls may be hungry for
a victory, you can also be sure that
the Royals will be ready. The taste
of Victory only makes one crave for
more. The Homecoming game will begin
at 1:30 tomorrow. It'll be an exciting
game.

Ha'rrie;rs' fa're w'ell at Wi no'na
Last Saturday was an excellent day
for the Bethel cross country team in
two ways. First of all, the weather was
simply fabulous in Winona, with the tem­perature
around fifty-five degrees, sun­shine,
and no wind. Second, and most
important, the harriers came in a very
strong second in the tough five-team
Winona Invitational. Running on an ex­tremely
flat and fast four-mile course,
the Bethel runners brought home the
most individual trophies of any team
(six), but when team scores were totaled,
they finished a close second. Jeff Larson,
third, and Larry Caldwell, sixth, led
the Royals with times of 20 :38 and 21 :03,
respectively. They ran together for the
first two miles until the extremely fast
pace forced Caldwell to drop back. The
winning time was 20 :16.
Most of the other Royal runners ran
in pairs also. Dave Clapp had a super
performance as he soloed his ,way to
,tenth place with a time of 21:37.After
him came the dynamic duo of Curt
Brown and Jim Timp who finished elev-enth
and thirteenth, respectively, with
times of 21:45 and 21:47, an opponent
sneaking between them in the last few
yards. Next to cross the finish line was
Greg Kramer, fifteenth in 21 :57, and
then, the former Jackson High ace, Brad
Strom, twenty-first with a 22 :16 timing.
Scott Anderson (23 :18), Bill Whittaker
(24 :00), and Dan Head (24 :03) finisheq
in the top thirty-five. Almost sixty run­ners
competed in ,the race. The final
score showed NAIA national qualifier
Winona State University with 39, Bethel
very close behind with 43, Winona Track
Club with 57, defending champion Mac­elester
College with 88, and St. Mary's
College with 128.
"Everybody worked up to his best
this meet and we were not ashamed
at all to comeback without the team
trophy," commented Coach Steve Whit­taker.
"We are very pleased with our
performance against such tough compe­tition
and hope to have a good showing
tomorrow at our Homecoming meet."
