Bethel needs the
outside interactio'n
For the first time since the Bethel Student Association
dropped out of the National Student Association five years
ago, our school was represented at the NSA meetings when
they were held at Macalester several weeks ago. Representatives
of the Clarion staff were invited to attend the
meetings as well as other Association members. We couldn't
resist the chance to interact with students from the outside,
so we went along.
We were immediately impressed with the reception Bethel
students received. "We didn't expect to see Bethel represented
here, but we're sure glad you came!" was the response
offered by several.
Of particular interest to us was a seminar led by Michael
Lee, student association president of Macalester. The session
was a lesson on working with administrators. Lee, a prelaw
student, is an expert in this field having negotiated
an acceptable compromise with the Macalester administration
over student demands made this fall for the minorities
program. We were impressed by the humble spirit he showed
and the matter-of-fact presentation he gave on the Macalester
problem _ . making sure to cover both sides of the issue.
The exchange of ideas which followed the seminar was also
exciting. While the Macalester situation could hardly be
compared to ours here at Bethel we felt the way in which
Lee and others handled the fall demonstrations and sit-in
at Mac was a model for student responsibility.
It could only benefit the Bethel Student Association to
have more intera:ction of the kind we experienced at the
NSA meetings. Certainly this is another effective way to make
our presence felt as Christians called to be students for God.
We hope in the future that the Bethel Student Association
will promote closer relations and more interaction with groups
such as the National Student Association.
After shooting off our mouth at the 'Chapel and Spiritual
Life Committee we feel it is only fair now to commend
them for the fine job they are doing in reassessing thc
position of campus pastor. The questions they asked on
the recent student survey sheet were sound basic questions.
We appreciate that. We hope that the Committee's deci·
sion-making process will be as thorough as its research.
Note: This is our last issue of the semester. We don't know
about you, but we're more than ready for the vacation.
Have a great Christmas. We resume publication during
Interim.

Food Servi'c,e employee
defends current food prices
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter in an attempt to give the student
body some understanding of the Bethel Food Service. Having
been a student of Bethel last year and the year before,
I have said, "The Food Service is a 'rip off!' They have
to be making money hand-over-fist." What I did not know
were the actual facts.
Being a full-time staff member now I've seen some
"behind the scenes" facts. My job involves compiling a chart
on daily income and expenditures in the Food Service. I
see where the money goes, how much profit there is, etc.
The following are a few facts I would like to pass
along:
F'act 1 - Although estimates of the rise in the cost
of living run from 12 percent to 16 percent in the last
year, Food Service has changed prices and portions in only
three places.
item
roast beef
cookies
entree salads
last year
80c per 3 oz. portion - 27c an oz.
15c for two 1 oz. cookies
55c per salad
this year
90c per 4 oz. portion - 24c an oz.
15c for two % oz. cookies (one-fourth less)
65c per salad
Fact 2 - Last year the profit Food Service made
was three cents on the dollar. In other words for every
dollar you spent last year all except three cents was used
to buy the food, pay student workers and staff, replace
flatware, trays, dishes and purchase pap'er supplies and
cleaning supplies. The percentage of profit for this year
will not be apparent until the end of the school year.
Fact 3 - The profit made by Food Service goes back

Alice Johnson and Wayne Erickson stay until

The most important thing I've learned from working

Dear Editor,
Every college has a few policies that don't exactly make
sense. Bethel is no exception. One of those policies that I
am currently trying to figure out is that of admission charges
to athletic events like football and basketball. .
Feeling obligated to attend at least one of Bethel's foot ...
ball games I whipped out my ragged I.D. and proceeded
through the gate. But a friend who had the misfortune of
having graduated from here last spring was forced to pay
$2 to see the game . ./"
Now that basketball has started the same policy holds.
Another friend who graduated last year paid $2 to watch
a game that didn't get interesting until they put in the
B-squad. Both of these friends could have used old I.D.'s
but didn't since they are true blue and loyal, used to the
Bethel lifestyle of being honest and forking over money.
It seems fair to ask outsiders to pay admission -
maybe $1.25 or so; but people who have given four years
of their time and a great deal of money to this institution,
who still express an interest in the progress of team
sports at Bethel should not be asked to pay. An old LD.
or an old roster should be enough to prove that they've
put in their time and deserve a break.
Sincerely,

After a holiday of thanksgiving and praise, the community
gathers together once again to give a last surge of effort
to accomplish the-unfinished task, the fall term. This holiday
was unique in many ways for the country as a whole and for
myself as one member of Bethel's community. It was spent
in a hospital bed in Room 141, Midway Hospital. I found
that I was not alone in this position, my closest friends
found themselves flat on their backs with the flu (many
others in the community found themselves in a like situation).
This brought me to the issue of being alone in the
community.
"Let him who is not in community beware of being
alone." (Life Together, Bonhoffer, p. 77)
Within the walls of a hospital room one can either feel
the despondency of being alone or sense the closeness and
warmth of real Christian fe~lowship. This week I have sensed
the real importance of a loving and witnessing community.
Through the actions' and lives of many brothers and sisters,
as well as teachers, the Spirit has worked in and around
my room. What an exciting experience to share Christ and
His love as a community to many who are alone in their
worlds of anxiety and despair! Those who entered my room
this week shared with me, not only as their brother in
, Christ, but indirectly witnessed to my roommate and nurses
who waited upon me. It was truly a blessing to be ministered
to by the Bethel community as well as my own
church community.
It seems that many at school today are missing this rich
. enjoyment and fulfillment in serving Christ in a local ministry,
if it be in a church, youth work, or a choir. The
call to Christ is to function locally as a member as well
as part of the . whole body of Christ. Many student's I have
talked to that have left school regret not being active in
the possible opportunities that were in front of them. I hope
we can learn from them.
We are not alone when we are called to be members
of Christ's body. Luther said, "If I die, then I am not alone
in death; if I suffer they (the fellowship) suffer with me."
(Life Together, p. 77)
"Let him who cannot be alone beware of community."
The greatest danger in community comes in an imbalance:
either running from God and always having others
around, or, ' the other extreme of secluding oneself from
others ("all I ,need is my Bible and the Holy Spirit").
"E'ach by itself has profound pitfalls and perils. One
who wants fellowship without solitude plunges into th'e void
of wOFds and feelings, and the one who seeks solitude
without fellowship p'erishes in the abyss of vanity, self in·
fatuation, and despair." (Life Together p. 78)
HLet him -who cannot be alone beware of community.
Let him who is not in community beware of being alone."
Don't forget the Festival of Christmas this weekend.
Performances start this evening at 7 :30 p.m. and continue
Saturday ni2'ht at 7 :30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
At press time, tickets were still available only for the
Sunday performance. The Festival Choir will perform
"The 'Many Moods of Christmas" by 'Robert Shaw.

Brushaber visits Bethel,
finds it a place to minister,
and be ministered to
Editor's note: During his recent visit to the Bethel campus,
Dr. George -Brushaber, who will ta~e over 6S dean of the
college in May, was interviewed by members of the Clarion
staff. The following are the highlights of that interview.
C: What are-your initial impression8 of Bethel? .
B: My impressions are very positive. I am very impressed
by the degree of student leadership that I've seen. Whp.n
I look at the number of co-curricular groups that are meeting,
the kinds of activities of a social nature, those of a
service nature, Christian witness, this ... all speaks very well
of the kind of maturing process that must be taking place
here: I happen to believe that learning is not restricted to
the laboratory, the library, or the lecture hall.
e: Do you have any plans right now to bring some of those
teachers who were recently laid off at 'Westmont to Bethel?
B: I do not. First of all, I don't know what openings
are available at Bethel. And also, the faculty at Westmont
and the students are engaged in a fund-raising effort, including
a telethon, in which they hope to raise $100,000.
If that is successful it will permit us to restore some of
the programs we had to cut at Westmont. I do not have
any direct plans to bring anyone here.
C: What were your highest priorities in your responsibilities
as dean of Westmont?
B: One of the areas in which I think I have strength and
could contribute in is the area of curriculum development
and philosophy of education.
Another area in which I am deeply committed personally
is the development of faculty. I believe the whole
nature of education has to be undersood in terms of
development. The purpose of a college is the development
of students; not simply their content areas, but broadly
speaking, all of their personal, emotional, physical and spiritual
dimensions. The same thing is true of faculty and administrators.
One of the facets to my job is to be responsible
for the personal and professional development of faculty
Brushaber appears in first press conference of'
his new administration.
members, to assist them to achieve their own personal goals,
to find their career fulfilling, to go through the proper stages
of adjustment and development as they pass into middle
age and then into later years. ,
C: Could you share with us some of the background of your
Christian experience? .
B: My father was a minister, I grew up in a Christian
home. I made my commitment to Christ, but not without some
uncertainty as to what that meant vocationally. I knew that
I had a call to minister and yet I also knew how difficult
the pastoral ministry was, having grown up in a minister's
home. I also felt a call to work in higher education.
One of the things I see personally as an opportunity for
me, because of the relationship between the College and the
Conference, because of the presence of the seminary on the
campus, and because of Bethel's longstanding commitment
to serve the - Church, is to combine both of thos'e calls.
I feel very committed to the life of the Church and to its
growth and nurture.
C: Do you see the Christian ministry as basically being
fulfilled within tire church?
B: Basically, yes~
C: How much student contact did you have at Westmont?
B: Frustratingly little. For the first time this spring I will

My child! If you must ramble so this day
I ask your thought for my expending breath!
Come sit beneath the laughing poplar here,
We'll crunch along the path again; the gate
We'll reach before night's crisp-air-time descends.
Mama! Come see what I have found for us!
Among the broken brown a yellow leaf.
And here, a dandelion frost has missed
A caterpillar in my hand is curled
But he is not cacooned-up yet this fall.
You are a puzzle child! What worth is found
In scraps of nature, dirty doubtless, those
Solitary bits of 'summer's wealth.
Just wait, for you will treasure armfuls!
Now come and rest with me; be still in time-
Oh see! A painted butterfly has danced
About my hair! She tips and lights the air
With joyful colors - dawn-like wings; her time
She quickly flutters by - still quicker then
I'll chase to capture, treasure her small life!
Child, stop! Your chase is futile. Run no more,
For you will never touch the spritely thing.
Now just wi.thin my reach - I will Mama!
My years know better! Never can we touch -
Forever now is mine in which to run!

When it raises its head, 'til the time day is done,
Fills my life with its zest from my soul to my heart,
And caresses the earth with its life.!giving art.
Oh, the joy it bestows on my night-ridden eyes,
As it leaps and it bounds or'e the wakening ·skies.
How it differs each day as it climbs from its bed, '
And dispels with Its light the dark fear and dread.

When the almighty sun shall then burn itself out.

Prevention, tougher courts battling rapists
by Steve Harris
Editor's note: This is the sooond of a two· part series dealing
with the crime of rape. It is based on a panel diSCUSSion
recently held at Bethel a.s part of , "Crime and Criminal
Justice Week."
Jim Coleman is around 35 years old, a husky, fullbearded,
soft-spoken young man. Currently he works as a
Minnesota correctional sergeant, but the road he followed
to that position has been a rugged one. As he shares his
story, his tone is quiet, almost apologetic.
"I was arrested several times as a sex-offender. I
finally ended up in Stillwater Prison on a burglary charge.
After my offenses I felt guilty and depressed. I knew I
needed help, but I didn't get any in prison. Mter I · got out
I went to a clinic in Kansas for treatrrient."
The help Jim got there was short-lived. Arrested a third
time in Mimiesota, he found himself . back in Stillwater.
"I realized then that I didn't like being in prison. And
I knew I was getting older. I guess it took me a long
time to really look at myself."
While in prison he enrolled in college courses and, after
his parole, acquired a degree in Criminal Law and Justice.
Mter working in construction, while under treatment at
Hennepin County Medical Center, he got a job as a prison
guard which led to his present posItion. .
What is · it that made Jim Coleman a sex-offender? Wa$
it a perverted sexual attitude? Was it the result of his
sexual frustration? He claims that these factors, commonly
associated with sexual criminals, were not the only reasons
he was involved in those acts.
"Guys don't rape women just because they're sexually
'frustrated," he explains. "There are other factors and pressures
involved besides purely sexual olles."
Whatever the reasonS for sexual attacks, the fact that
they are a social menace is unquestionable. The burden of
their prevention falls upon local police fonces, and the results
they are achieving are far from extraordinary. Why
is that? One of the reasons, says Ms. ,Carolyn Bailey, a
sergeant on the St. Paul Police Sex-Homicide Unit, lies in
our judicial system.
"In St. Paul," she explains, "88 percent of the rapists
are identified following their attack. What this means is:
if you are attacked it is very likely that your attacker will
be identified. But it is very unlikely that he will be convicted."
Many women's rights groups claim that this sifuation
exists because the rape victim herself is treated as a criminal.
They contend that a male-dominated court system considers
the victim "guilty" before she can prove her sexual innocence,
directly contrary to the principles of American justice.
While this unfair attitude on the part of the courts has undoubtedly
been a factor in low-conviction rates, another
difficulty has been in a.ttaining medical substantiation for an
attack.
"If a woman is sexually active," says Dr. J. Dutt,
pediatrician at St. Paul Ramsey Hospital, "it is almost
impossible to medically prove that she has been raped.
If she is a virgin, it can be substantiated. It is sad but true
that if a woman is beaten up she has a better chance of seeing
her attacker convicted."
The problem of poor attitudes in the courts is changing,
says Sgt. Bailey.
"Ten years ago the only way to get a rape conviction
was if it involved a 65-year-old nun with a medical -report
proving that she was a virgin. But juries are changing;
they're more ready to convict. Consequently, we are getting
more convictions than we would have gotten ten years ago.
Ironically, the worst jury, if you want to see your rapist con:
victed, is made up of 12 women."
Changes in attitudes are leading to more realistic conviction
rates for the crime of rape. Other areas where
improvements are evident are those of victim-treatment and
rape prevention.
Dr. Dutt, who is also co-chairperson of Sex Offense
Services (SOS), a 24-hour Twin Cities organization initiated
by county agencies to help sexual-crime victims, believes
that hospitals are becoming more sensitive to the rap'e
victim.
"It used to be that the victim was ignored. We never
really deal with her problems. But we are growing more
sensitive to her in the hospital. We give her priority in the
Emergency Room; we no longer immediately ask her to undress
in the examination room. Most importantly, we talk
to her and 'let her know exactly what the procedure is going
to be. .
Rape prevention is also a growing concern. Self-defense
courses designed for womert are offered on college campuses
nation-wide. Demands for better protection and lighting in
public parking lots are also widespread. These measures; designed
to lessen the chance that a woman has of being
attacked, are being promoted as positive steps in the right
direction . .
But even more i~portant than individual protection,
stressed the participants of this panel, is the need for changes
in social attitudes.
"Communication is an important factor if we are to face
rape intelligently," says Sgt. Bailey. "We must stop talking
about it as a tantalizing subject, and we must start to discuss
it rationally. The more we know about it and dis-cuss
it, the easier it will be for all of us to change those attitudes
which in the past have been so harmful."
Rape. It is a crime of violence that for too long has
been enveloped 'in sexual mystique and ignoran~. As we
begin to communicate openly and intelligently about it, perhaps
that ignorance will vanish. And as changed attitudes
result in improved rape prevention and judicial conviction
rates, perhaps the American woman, who is .now hardly more
than prey on the streets, will no longer walk in fear.

BetheJ/s ca'mpus may be
se,clud'edi but ho!w safe?
by Rhollda. Dye
"Bethel? Oh, it's a safe place. I doubt that much would
happen out here. We're ' so removed from everything."
"We have nothing to fear; the Lord wouldn't allow anything
to happen to us outside of His will."
Opinions about rape such as these are not uncommon
among those of the Bethel community, in spite of several
incidents that occurred earlier in the year. This fall, two
children were molested on Beth'el's campus. Several weeks
ago, a strange man walked into an unlocked townhouse at
3 a.m. Two weeks ago, Hagstrom dorm entertained the presence
of two unwelcomed visitors in the wee hours of the
morning. These episodes along with statistics revealing a
rapid increase in rape, should cause one to question the
safety of Bethel's campus. Is Bethel immune to such tragedies?
Is there reason for concern?
Contrary to those comments above" Marilyn Starr, dean of
women says, "Yes, there is cause for concern. You cannot
feel secure though our campus is a secluded place. Exhibitionists
and rapists look for areas such as ours. We are
very vulnerable to these problems."
"Policemen have told me that Bethel girls are so terribly
naive and this attracts these types of characters," continued
Miss Starr. "Girls don't realize the trouble that they/
are asking- for when they don't lock their doors, pull their
shades and go out alone at night." .
Miss Starr says that failure to recognize the seriousness
of the situation and 'failure to take precautions is not
only being irresponsible to oneself, but also to the community
at large. "Our kids are so naively trusting; they don't
understand responsibility t9wards other people. When they fail
to protect themselves and fail to understand the reality of
what .could possibly happen they are asking for trouble;
they aren't being responsible."
Phyllis Melseather, houseparent for the women's townhouse
units is in agreement with Miss Starr. "It is fool.
ishness to think that Bethel is some kind of utopia. Our
campus is too close to two main highways to think that
we are danger free."
"It's when kids are oblivious to the problem that the danger
is greater. So many times, they just don't think,"
continued Mrs. Melseather. "Some of them, wanting attention,
go storming out of their townhouses at night. Sometim~
they may get more attention than they bargained for."
There is no need to be fearful or panicky, says Mrs.
Melseather. But caution should be exercised. "The Lord gave
us brains to use; but sometimes we're too stupid to use
our common sense." -

parent for Bodien, expressed her dismay over the careless
attitudes of some. "I don't know what more we can do to
make girls realize the danger that they are.,setting themselves
up for .. when they don't pull their shades and leave
the doors unlocked," she said, in an exasperated tone.
'''Not only that," she added, "but they are endangering the
safety of all the others in the dorm as well."
"We've had men "Come and try 'the back doors, ' Ron
.has had to chase them away. Nothing serious has yet
happened on old campus this year, but there have been a
number of incidents that haVe occured in the surrounding
neighborhood," she continued.
Arden Hills Chief of Police Pat Sexton said that although
the BEi!thel campus is generally safe the potential for danger
is still there. "Nothing serious has happened yet, but that
doesn't mean it can't or won't. Sometimes when I'm driving
through tl}e campus I see girls walking into the hills alone.
They should always go in pairs day or night. If anything
looks the slightest bit suspicious notify us right away. We
want to know," urged Saxon.
The beginning of prevention starts with the recogni-'
tion of the problem. Awareness enables us to become responsible
and act responsibly. As members of a community
our responsibility extends beyond ourselves; we are responsible
to one another.

be teaching a course. I would very much hope that I could
, either team-teach a class with a faculty member here at
Bethel or occasionally do a course on my own. I'm also
concerned with contact with the students outside of the formal
classroom. In that area I had quite . a bit of opportunity
at Westmont.
0: What were tbe main fa.ctors in your choosing to come
to' Bethel?
B: Frankly, I ,found myself unfulfilled and restless on the
job (at Westmont) in relation to the goals and aspirations
I have. The faculty has been very supportive, as was the
Board of Trustees, so it's not that I'm out of sorts with
anyone. But I'm not at rest with myself. I've averaged
less than one preaching opportunity a year. After 12 years
of preaching regularly and feeling called to preach - though
not called to a pastoral ministry - that frustrated me.
And I have been frustrated by my inability to have contact
with students in the classroom and inadequate contact outside
of the classroom.
That's why I left. Why I came is that those kind of
personal things stand a better chance of being fulfilled here.
At least I've been assured by everybody .that they will be.
0: What has been your initial reactio.n to the Betbel ad·
ministration? .
B: I am very impressed with the administrative team at Bethel
and I look fQrward to working with a man of Dr.
. Lundquist's stature.

in the Minnesota Sculpture competition
held at Rochester, Minnesota. Our thanks
and congratulations go to Professor Luckman
for this significant achievement.
Walker, Karls'godt All-Conference;
seven receive honor,able menti'on
by Curtis Kregness
Kim Walker and Terry Karlsgodt were
recently named to the AII-Tri-State Conference
football team for their outstanding
performances on the 1974 Bethel
Royals.
Walker, a sophomore wide receiver,
caught ten touchdown passes for the
season, averaging 15.8 yards per reception
overall. Being 5'7" and 140 pounds,
he was told that he was too small for
high school football. At Bethel, he has
easily disproved that, and assistant coach
Da vid Klostreich praised him for his
"quickness, sure-handed ability to catch
the football, and exceptional speed."
Karlsgodt merited All-Conference honors
at linebacker as he led the conference
in defensive points for the second consecutive
season. He was one of six seniors
who played for the Royals this
year.
Selected as All-Conference Honorable
Mention were John Holine, quarterback,
Terry Jenson, receiver, Dave Hoehl, offensive
guard, Craig Hansen, offensive
tackle, Fred Witzgall, defensive lineman,
Ward Anderson and Kevin Hallstrom,
defensive halfbacks. Hansen and Anderson
were voted next year's co-captains.
Within the squad, Fred Witzgall was
named Defensive Lineman of the Year,
in spite of injuries that sidelined him
for most of the season. Defensive Back
of the Year was Kevin Hallstrom, who
ranked sixth in conference points at defensive
cornerback.
The "Big Hitter" Award, denoting the
most consistently aggressive play, went
to senior Larry Brodeen. Craig Hansen
was voted Offensive Lineman of the
Year, and Kim Walker was Offensive
Back of the Year.
The "Loyal Royal" Award, for the
most active individual support of the
team, went to Jim Bragg, Director of
College Relations.

Coach Jack Trager commented about the four games
the team has played so far. "I feel our team should have
beat Minnesota-Morris, while Stout and Northland were just
too good and outplayed us. I feel our win over Upper
Iowa will give the team some confidence. We shot over
50 percent and got more than 50 percent of the rebounds
on both boards."

should be a big game for us."

St. Thomas matmen
salvage tie, 24-24
by nan Joling
Battling back from an early 18-6 deficit, the St. Thomas
wrestling team won six of ten matches to salvage a tie with
Bethel 24-24, in a match scheduled on Thanksgiving eve.
Despite the irregular time of the meeting, another good
crowd was on hand to lend vocal support to the grapplers.
Bethel gained an early 12-0 advantage by virtue of
forfeits in St. Thomas' 118 and 126 pound classes. However,
due to an injury to Ken Firtko at 142, St. Thomas picked
up six free points of their own.
Wrestling in irregular order, Bethel's 150 pound freshman
Bill Helwig pinned St. Thomas' Louis Reid to give the
Royals their 12 point lead.
The Tommies fought back with a decision in the 134
pound class and a pin at 158, cutting the Royals lead to three
points with four matches remaining.
Bethel recorded its final points when Jeff Zitzloff pinned
former Mound teammate John Heitkamp in a well-fought
167 pound match, again boosting the margin to nine.
From then on it was all St. Thomas, as Bethel dropped
narrow decisions in their three heaviest weights and watched
what would have been their first victory over St. Thomas
in four years slip away.
The Royals will be looking to improve their record away
from home tomorrow as they enter the St. Mary's quadrangular.
Their next home meet is Wednesday at 7 p.m.
against Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire. A week from
today, December 13, the Royals take on the University of
Minnesota-Duluth and Gustavus in a triangular at 7 p.m.

Bethel ge'ts first wi'n,
smo'kes Upper lo·wa
by Keith Kramer
The basketball team got its first win of the season last
week against Upper Iowa College 86-66. They dropped their
other three games by scores of 56-47 to Minnesota-Morris,
96-80 to Stout State and 68-44 to Northland.
Against the Upper Iowa College Peacocks, the Royals
looked impressive at both ends of the floor. Led offensively
by Mark Robertson's 19 points in the first half, the Royals
were out in front 38-28 at halftime. The defense slowed
the Peacock's fast break to a crawl and shut off the passes
inside forcing the Peacocks to shoot from the outside.
In the second half Bethel jumped to a 48-31 lead and
Upper Iowa switched from a zone to man-to-man defense.
Bethel countered by driving along the baseline or lobbing the
ball to Wayne Hallquist or Paul Healy and streched its
lead to 65-41 with 10 :21 to play.
The Peacocks then tried a man-to-man press in an effort
to get back in the game, but the strategy backfired, giving
the Royals ten points by way of the free throw line in the
next eight minutes.
