Mike Monroe
happened
by Curtis Kregness
Bethel students tapped their toes along
with Mike Monroe Saturday night, as he
played and sang some of his own compositions,
mixed with poetry and several
country western favorites.
Mike plays guitar, and is a former
Bethel student, originally from Golden
Valley, Minnesota. An attentive audience
listened as he jammed his w.ay through "I
Dig Rock and Roll Music," and then contrasted
that with the flowing, easy-listening
style of "Wedding Song," written by
Paul Stookey.
Phil Kitchen, another guitarist familiar
to Bethel, joined Mike in one number, an
amusing parody of Gary Lewis and the
Playboys.
The lyrics of Mike's original works
reflected an introspective nature and a
genuine concern for others. He sang an
original song entitled "Love Will Get You
Through Times With No Sex Better Than
Sex Will Get You Through Times With
No Love," as he related some of his
feelings about marriage. He is presently
engaged to be married.
Clarion review:
Waiting for Godot
by Bob Winter
The music was from a caliope. The tune was simple and
sad, with pauses in the melody giving the listener a feeling of
incompleteness. The house lights dimmed, the stage lights
came up, and Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" began.
The play unfolding before the Guthrie audience looked at
times like a comedy, or a pastoral play, or just a simple drama.
The two main characters, Didi and Gogo, were waiting for
Godot, an unknown person, who was to come at evening.
Godot never comes. While waiting for him, the two simple
bums sometimes joke and sometimes argue, but all the time
are very human and are waiting for the one they are supposed
to meet.
From the action one sees that neither Didi nor Gogo quite
know who Godot is, why they are waiting for him, what he
looks like, or when they last saw him. Their meetings with
wandering Pozzo and his slave, Lucky, break the monotony of
waiting, but the expectancy of their final meeting with Godot
only increases.
Hearing this play labeled as "existential" I was fearful of
the content. I viewed it with more thought than I give most
plays. A:s a result, the despair of the total "faith-in-faith"
position was made clearer to me.
The play portrays men waiting blindly for an unrealized
hope. Though the play is loaded with symbols, one must be
cautious in filling these blanks in. The symbol presented by
the unseen Godot, for example, could be seen equally well as
a cynically humorous, late-in-coming God or as a humanistic
dream that will not be solidified.
"Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett is a good play,
and the players at the Guthrie do it very well. The fact that
the applause at the end was unsure, weak and yet heartfelt
shows the deep chords that the play struck. But if it truly
describes Life, than we can only agree with Didi when he
jokes, "This is all becoming very insignificant."

participate in
illegal copying
by Steve Ferrario
Bethel students and faculty have been involved in the
illegal activity of making Xerox copies. Whether they have
realized the illegality of the certain copies or not, the act is
still against the law.
The Audio-Visual department has installed a new Xerox
machine that will produce 60 copies a minute. This is used for
all kinds of copying including some copyrighted materials. This
is where the illegal activity comes into play.
Copyrighted material has an exclusive right to the publication
or production granted by law for a period of 28 years in
the United States. Therefore when a person uses the Xerox
machine for the production of such material, that person is
breaking the law.
Below is a list of materials that are illegal to copy in the
United States. Number four refers to the copyright law.

Student Association President:
New
Priorities
by Dan Nelson
The past two weeks have been encouraging for one who
deals with the decision-making system at Bethel. The student
opinion has been felt and acknowledged in the areas of chapel
announcements and the college calendar. In both cases, student/
faculty committees played a vital role in the formulation
of new policy.
In the first instance, the Student Senate reacted to a decision
of the Chapel and Spiritual Life Committee. The committee
moved to limit announcements in chapel by having
them read on Tuesday and Thursday by Pastor Lawson. The
Campus Co-ordinators and others came to me and asked that
the Senate do something to change the new policy, feeling that
the new policy was too restrictive. The Senate agreed, and
asked me to communicate their wish to the Chapel committee.
Following the Senate meeting, several students and faculty
came to the Association office and expressed a variety of
opinions on the topic. The Clarion also ran a poll on the issue.
The result was a modification of policy by the committee
which is clearly a compromise. Announcements will be given
on Monday and Thursday: they may be given by students;
they should concern campus events; and skits will be allowed. I
feel that this committee did an excellent job in reacting to
student and faculty opinion to produce a policy that is most
acceptable to the largest number of people.
The second area of concern was that of the college calendar
for 1974-75 and 1975-76. The faculty rejected a suggested
policy from the Educational Policies Committee and asked
them to bring another proposal that would reflect the views
of the students. The following week, the Senate spent over an
hour considering the calendar. Their suggestions were incorporated
almost to the letter in the new EPC proposal to the
faculty. I was pleased to see that the EPC proposal to the
faculty used the student opinion as a justification for each
phase of the proposal. The faculty promptly passed each proposal
by a near-unanimous vote. I totally agree with the grade
of "A" that the faculty gave the committee after the vote.
After viewing the student role in the decision-making
process of other schools, I am convinced that Bethel gives
students the most effective voice. This year, we are using that
voice more than in the past. It would be nice if such a structure
existed where students would have input into the other area of
Bethel that affected them, the Business affairs area. It is time
for the college administration to establish a committee in this
area, to allow effective representation and communication on
the part of the student body to help solve problems in this area
of Bethel.

Letters
To the Editor:
In the past several weeks, plastic spoons have appeared in
the Bethel Food Service. The plastic spoons are necessary as
the result of a shortage of metal spoons, taken from the cafeteria
by Bethel stUdents, according to Alice Johnson, Food
Service Director. Wayne Erickson, co-director, said that about
200 spoons - "a conservative estimate" - have disappeared
since the beginning of the semester, and new spoons have been
ordered as a consequence. Glasses and trays are also diminishing
in supply, Erickson said.
If spoons and other items keep vanishing, the inevitable
result will be a rise in Food Service prices. The spoon robbers
are robbing themselves, whether they realize it or not. Bethel
students have no right to complain about food prices in the
face of this situation.
I have talked to students who have taken spoons and
other utensils from the Food Service. Why do they do it? "The
silverware comes in handy in my room," is the flippant reply.
Attitudes such as these are common, but deplorable.
This situation leaves one question in my mind, "Are the
lifestyles of some Bethel students really what they are proclaimed
to be?"

Clarion Poll
The time is rapidly approaching in which the 1974-75
Bethel budget will be prepared. The Student Senate is very
interested in finding out student opinion on how the Student
Association budget ($30,000 last year) should be spent. About
one-third of the current budget (about $9.50 per student) is
currently allocated for the yearbook. Since the yearbooks have
just been issued, now is a good time to get your opinion on the
place of a yearbook at Bethel. Please respond to the following:
(A) The concept of a college yearbook for Bethel is a
good one, and the cost is justified. We should continue
the yearbook at the same level of operation.
(B) A yearbook at Bethel is not as important as it once
was, and the cost is not entirely justified. The yearbook
operation should be reduced, and some of the
funds used for other purposes.
(C) The concept of a yearbook at Bethel is no longer
justified. The funds should be used for other purposes.
I would like to see yearbook funds (all or part) re-allocated
to the following:
(A) campus radio station
(B) full-time campus co-ordinator
(C) (your idea)

Shoes and ships-and
sealing wax
by David J. Healy
What are you doing here talking to a cheerleader? And
why would you even consider her trade as worthy of precious
column space, you who have so mercilessly browbeaten the
profession for years?
The questions hounded me, refusing to be lightly dismissed.
It was true. I have been pretty hard on cheerleaders
over the years, questioning the validity of their position in the
over-all athletic scheme, wondering if anyone would really miss
them. So why waste my time interviewing one?
Perhaps, I reasoned, this whole thing is a feeble attempt to
expiate the sins of slander I've long perpetuated against cheerleading.
Foremost in my mind was a scathing denunciation I'd
written in high school that had several of the poor girls in
tears.
Or perhaps it's simply a matter of curiosity. After all, who
hasn't wondered just what it is that motivates a Bethel girl to
become a cheerleader?
Or maybe it reflects an honest change of heart, causing me
to feel that anyone who puts a lot of time and effort into a
non-profi t cause deserves some ink.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad I talked to Jane Dalton. I
picked Jane, first, because I know her, but more importantly
because she, more than any other cheerleader I've seen, seems
to exude those intangible qualities of cheerleaderness: a certain
bounciness, vivacity, and sincerity of purpose that are
altogether refreshing.
This is Jane's sixth year of cheerleading: four in high
school, going on two at Bethel. During this time she has
cheered at some 390 athletic events.
I asked her how fan support at Bethel compared with that
of high school (St. Paul Murray). "There's no comparision,
really," she said. "In high school the kids cheered even if we
were losing. Here it depends so much on how well the team is
doing."
"How does that affect your attitude toward your job?"
"Positively, I think. It makes things more challenging.
We have to work harder and be much more conscious of devising
cheers that will appeal to the fans. Of course, it gets frustrating
sometimes when nobody yells. "
Something came out during our conversation to which I
had never given much thought, and that's the whole matter of
visual perspective. Jane pointed out that the cheerleaders'
position is quite an advantage at basketball games and wrestling
meets because it finds them right on top of the action. But at
football games they have the worst seats in the house: ground
level and directly behind the team.
"We miss so much in football," she said. "I went to the
Upper Iowa game just as a spectator and watched from the
stands. It was really wierd. I'd forgotten how much different
a game looks from up there."
It was finally time to ask the monumental question. "Why
are you a cheerleader?"

a few hours work at the beginning of the semester.

"That's a tough one," said Jane, "because my motivations
have changed. I think I started because I wanted to go to all
the games. One night in seventh grade when I had to stay home
and babysit, I figured out that if I was a cheerleader I'd have
to go to them all. Now, of course, there are other reasons
too."
And she went on ·to talk about the sense of accomplishment
and well-being that accompanies one's involvement with
something like athletics that "really deserves support." And
about the value of learning to work with other people for a
common cause.
All of which may have sounded a bit corny and trite coming
from anyone else. But from Jane Dalton it was absolutely
sincere and absolutely true. She means it. And it shows.

is given to any guy whq's willing to give an honest effort.
Because of the sincerity of Christian coaches and the love felt
from being part of a Christian team, sitting on the bench is
more than worth it.
Just a word to you three guys who volunteered to openly
discuss this subject - thanks! I know it's not easy to sit and

at
pi• gamma mu
by Cindy Hillegas
G. William Carlson gave the first in a
series of Pi Gamma M u lectures, on "The
Christian and the Military-Industrial Complex,"
last Thursday evening. The lecture
was attended by about 25 students and
faculty.
In the lecture, Carlson explained the
term "Military-Industrial Complex" and
pointed out the inherent dangers of the
existence of such a power in a democratic
society.
"The 'Military-Industrial Complex' is
an increasing coalition of military, selective
industrial corporations and allied
civilian supporters working together to
bring about the achievement of their
common interests," he said.
Three reasons were cited as contributing
to the growth of the Military-Industrial
Complex: the rise of technological
warfare, the desire for a strong national
security, and the bureaucratization and
increasing centralization of power in
selected elites.
Three areas in which the Military-Industrial
Complex has shown particular
influence are in education, economics,
and the militarization of values, according
to Carlson.
"The evidence suggests that Christians
should express great concern about the
uses of power and the values promoted
by the Military-Industrial Complex. Its
aims and goals at times are in direct contrast
to the ideals of the American democratic
system and any commitment to
ethical principles. " he said.
After a short break for coffee and
donuts, the group reassembled to hear
two students reactions to Carlson's
speech.
Sheryl Anderson and Roger Dahl
evaluated the speech. Their main objections
were with the lack of pragmatism in
Carlson's conclusions. They also suggested
that not all Christians would agree with
Carlson's definition of an activist-pacifist
lifestyle.
Professor Carlson took a few minutes
to answer their questions as well as those
of the audience. He felt there was no
alternative to the lifestyle he expressed,
since it came from direct commands from
God.
"My suggestions are as realistic as I can
get, and remain consistent to the principles
I uphold," he explained. Carlson also
cited examples in which his suggestions
have been tried with success.
The next Pi Gamma Mu lecture will be
held on November 8. Thomas Correll will
speak on "The Coming Crises in Social
Research."
Ramsey answers a question about the Arab-Israeli conflict
Syrian student speaks out
by Chuck Jackson
On Wednesday, .October 24, a Syrian
student at the University of Minnesota
appeared at the Royal Boyal, the weekly
issues discussion group, to offer his feelings
on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
His appearance came as a response to a
previous Boyal session where a pro-Israeli
viewpoint had predominated. A friend of
Bethel student Carolyn Bass, Ramsey
agreed to answer a broad range of questions
informally.
From his perspective as an Arab student
studying in the United States, he felt
that the Arab-Israeli conflict was in effect
a war game for the superpowers, the
United States and the Soviet Union. The
two billion dollars in aid recently proposed
by President Nixon for Israel, and
the Soviet "manipulation" of the Arab
states, symbolized to him the presence of
great power interests in the Mid-East.
He stressed that while extremist fac-

tions in both Syria and Israel called for
war, they were in fact in the minority
since most people in the two countries
desired to live peacefully with each other.
When questioned about the Syrians and
Palestinians living within Israel, he admitted
their satisfaction there but denied
Israeli cultural superiority as the reason.
Rather, Ramsey was quite convinced that
the reason for their satisfaction was
purely economic.
Throughout the Boyal Ramsey fielded
questions freely from the students and
faculty present, about seventy-five in all.
Although at the end of the session most
felt that disagreement remained, most
people went away feeling he or she had
learned something.
At the conclusion of the Boyal
Ramsey was given a solid round of applause,
and many students remained
afterward to continue more informal
interaction.

relish relics
by Bob Winter
Three members of the Bethel faculty
and staff collect cars from America's past.
The motivations and interests of each of
these men are different. However, each
man enjoys working with pieces of the
automotive past.
Jim Sheldon, Technical Services Librarian,
has the largest of the three collections.
His interest began with his involvement
with Model A's as family vehicles.
As he entered teaching, his interest in the
various body styles developed, with the
help of his father, a collection totalling
about 35 cars.
Mr. Sheldon's interest hasn't led him
toward restoring too many of his cars as
of yet. He has enjoyed bringing the cars
together and keeping them in running
order.
Dennis Passons, Dean of Men and
Director of Placement, builds his collection
from a later period of history. Instead
of concentrating on antique cars,
Mr. Passons collects "special interest"
cars. This class of cars includes his previousiy
owned '42 Cadillac, '53 Cadillac
EI Dorado, '56 Chevy Nomad, and his
present '51 Kaiser.
Since these cars are now rare but not
as unreachable as the antiques, Dean
Passons finds this hobby to be profitable
as well as enjoyable. Certain classes of
cars, if kept in good condition, will appreciate
in value as time passes. Thus, an
investment can be made, a vehicle gained,
and enjoyment obtained at one time and
in one car.
Director of College Relations Jim
Bragg is, of the three collectors, the one
most in love with the antiquity of the old
cars. Recognizing the simplicity, workmanship,
and value which old things have,
he feels that it is better to buy a good old
object than to buy a comparable new
object.
Mr. Bragg is building up a 1915 Model
T speedster. Though not too common in
this part of the country, speedsters are
the fascinating projects of many men who
enjoy the simplicity and possible creativity
present in the Model T.

Cross country
captures
second
by Dave Greener
The cross country Royals raced to
second place in the Tri-State Conference
Meet at Como Park Saturday, Bethel's
best showing in three years of Conference
competition.
Westmar (Iowa) overpowered all opponents
in winning the event, sweeping
the first seven places to post a perfect
(15) score. The victory was Westmar's
third straight Conference championship.
Outdistanced by the runner-up Royals'
total of 54, Sioux Falls followed with 77,
Yankton 117, Northwestern (Iowa) 138,
and Concordia (St. Paul) 156.
"It was the climax of the season for
everyone," said Royal harrier Harley
Turner "What especially made it great
was that we could really feel that we were
running with Jesus," he said.
Each of the seven Royals, save one,
ran his best Como five mile time of the
year. Although not as many five mile
races were run in the past, and although
the current course is a few seconds faster,
all seven of the Royals also ran better
than last year's Royal Como Park record
(28:08.)
Steve Whittaker, in pacing his teammates
with an 8th place finish, raced to a
new Royal record for the five mile Como
Par k Course. His 26: 54 time eclipsed
Larry Caldwell's 27: 05 record set October
20 and was 39 seconds swifter than
his previous personal best.
Caldwell closely followed, contributing
a 10th place finish to the Royal cause,
and bettering with 26: 56 his own record
(27 :05) for Royal freshmen.
Team captain Dave Peterson garnered
11th place with a 27: 11, 35 seconds better
than his previous best. Scott Anderson
strode to a 12th place finish, while Jeff
Larson completed the Royal scoring with
a 13th place tally.
Dan Haggar (16th) and Harley Turner
(17th) were Bethel's 6th and 7th runners,
"pushing back" scorers of other teams.
(Other Royals did not race because of a
seven man limit per team for the meet.)

Tomorrow the harriers turn their attention
toward the District 13 N.A.I.A.
Championship, an event that may bring
from ten to twelve schools to the Como
Golf Course. "I'd be very pleased if we
were as high as fifth," remarked Royal
coach Gene Glader, who is well aware of
the high caliber of some of the schools
(such as Hamline, St. Johns. St. Thomas)
the Royals may face.
"We're going to have to do really well
to be that high," he noted.
The five mile race begins at 11 at the
Como Golf Course, located adjacent
(north) to Como Park.
Soccer team
drops two
by W. T. Hanley
Twice last week the badly crippled
Bethel soccer team went down to defeat.
Both Wednesday's game against St.
Thomas and Saturday's contest with
Hamline demonstrated that a large number
of injuries have made it difficult for
the Royals to command playas they
have done earlier in the season.
Against St. Thomas, the Bethel team
simply couldn't seem to put a winning
play together. The dominant factor in the
game played Wednesday afternoon was
the wind. Powerful gusts made ball control
difficult. At about eight minutes into
the period, St. Thomas scored its first
goal on a corner kick. Bethel failed to
score in the first period.
In the second half, with the wind to
their backs, the Royals repeatedly brought
the ball down into scoring position, but
failed to score. About midway into the
period, St. Thomas found a hole and
scored its second and final point of the
game. The final tally was St. Thomas - 2
Bethel- O.
In the soccer game against Hamline,
that school scored twice in the first
period, once at about 8 minutes and then
again at about 44 minutes into the half.
The Hamline team, which continually
rotated fresh players onto the field, outran
the diminished Bethel squad.
During the second half neither team
appeared to dominate play. Control of

the ball passed from one team to the
other with neither commanding. Finally,
after about 25 minutes into the period
and repeated Bethel corner kicks, Hamline
yielded to a shot by Hideo Nishihata,
making the score Hamline - 2, Bethel-I.
Three minutes later however, Hamline
made up the point by scoring again. The
half produced no further points for either
team.
After the game Coach Salas commented,
"We just go out and try to score with
the boys we have left. With so many out
it's very difficult."
One encouraging note in the match
proved to be the officiating. Both the
team and the coach seemed pleased with
the referees for this game saying that they
helped keep injuries down.
Bethel's final game of the season comes
today at 3 p.m. in a home contest against
Gustavus.
Girl's volleyball
opens season
by Janet Rutzen
"A pretty good season" is what Coach
Patricia Brownlee foresees for Bethel's
women's varsity volleyball team. The team
has a record of 3-3 as of Monday.
Saturday, Bethel played a round-robin
at St. Catherine's; both squads beat Concordia
and both lost to Augsburg and St.
Catherine's.
The climax of the season will be the
state tournament Nov. 17 at Macalaster,
according to Miss Brownlee. "There will
really be some fine volleyball played in
the tournament," she said.
"We would certainly welcome any support
people would give us," said Miss
Brownlee in referring to the small crowds
at the games. "Some of the guys should
come and watch. There is really a lot
more to women's sports than they ever
imagine, I'm sure. The girls play some
good ball. "
Upcoming volleyball games are Nov. 6
with Augsburg at Augsburg, and Nov. 8
against Concordia here. All games begin
at 7 p.m. "Concordia is the one where
we would really welcome people," said
Miss Brownlee, "because Concordia is a
big rival in all our sports. "

What's it like to be a second or third string bench warmer?
Doesn't it get a little discouraging to sit and watch game
after game knowing that there is little if any hope of ever getting
into play? After all, a guy doesn't go out on the practicing
field every day of the week to receive bruising first string sentiments
simply for his health. What is he out there for? Every
team member wants to play - you don't make headlines by
sitting on the bench.
I had a discussion with three such sliver collectors and
their motivation was revealed to me. I found out that there is
more to bench warming than just warming the bench.
First to speak was John Peterson, junior line-backer: "It's
not just Saturday's game that counts. If it wasn't for the
second and third string guys, I don't think the starting line
would be as tough as they are. It is much better for them to
have somebody to go up against rather than just tackling dummies
all the time - dummies can't hit back."
My question was, "Do you guys mind acting as targets for
practice week after week?"
Dan Moser, freshman end replied, "No, every good team
needs a solid base to work with. It gives you a sense of satisfaction
to know that your starting players are only as good as
you make them work in practice. When the second string has
to. run Yankton's offense against our first string defense, for
example, the job that our defense does in a game reflects how
well we executed Yankton's offense in practice. Conversely,
if our defense didn't look too good, it is partly our fault for
not performing well enough in practice."
Jack Olson defensive tackle, said, "This year I was disappointed
with' myself and not with the coaches. In high
school I sat on the bench some and I was unhappy with the
coaches because I knew I was better than who was playing.
This year I sat on the bench because the guys that beat me out
were better than me. Those were the hard cold facts. So I was
unhappy with myself. But I love the sport and I'm always
looking to the future. I know that I must show the impro:vement
and work harder just like they did to make the startmg
eleven." , . .
Dan added, "Because we can t play m a game IS no excuse
for giving up. We love the sport, but most of all we must make
the most out of the talent God has given us even though we
can't be a super-star. The small amount of talent we start with
can be developed into greater talent but it takes practice just
like anything else."
"Staying with the team all season long was a goal r~ached
for me proving to myself and others back home, ~h? saId. tha,~
I'd never make it in college ball, that I could do It If I tned,
Jack remarked.
All three of the guys expressed that they had learned
much about the sport their first year at Bethel, hoping this
trend would continue. There is a pride in being able to make
the first string work and even to look good against them. Most
of all, they expressed their appreciation of th~ coaching st~ff.
The coaches will take the time and have the pabence of moldmg
even those with no football experience into a player who can
make a solid contribution to the team effort. What other college
coach would even give a guy with little or no experience

John Holine drops back, and passes to Larry Rocholl.
Royals 19-17 • Win,
by Curtis Kregness
Bethel ended its conference football season Saturday
with a record of two wins and three losses, sneaking past the
Concordia College Comets to clinch a 19 to 1 7 victory.
Halfbacks Mark Wood and Larry Rocholl rushed for a
combined total of 256 yards, with Wood picking up 122 yards
in 19 carries and Rocholl gaining 134 yards in 18 carries.
Dave Bjork, s~nior defensive halfback, celebrated his last home
football game by snaring two Concordia passes.
Following the pattern of previous games, the Royals were
hindered by two interceptions, two lost fumbles, and two
bungled punt attempts. But Bethel came back from a 17 to 13
deficit to score on an 80-yard drive with less than three minutes
remaining in the game. Jack Rossi capped the effort with
a one-yard run for the touchdown.
The Comets got on the scoreboard late in the first quarter
with a 22-yard field goal, after being stopped by the Royal's
defense within five yards of the goal line.
Ward Anderson set the pace for the Royals in the next
series of plays, as he ran back a Concordia kickoff about 40
yards. Bethel kept the ball to score a touchdown - 55 yards
and four first downs later - putting the score at 6 to 3.
The Royals increased their lead again in the action-packed
second quarter scoring on an 80-yard drive. With seconds
left in the first' half, Bethel threatened to tally a third touchdown,
but Concordia shocked the Royals with a 95-yard pass
interception, making the halftime score 13 to 10.
Concordia took the lead in the third quarter. Gaining the
ball in Bethel territory after a bad snap on a Royal punt attempt,
the Comets took the football in 38 yards for their
second touchdown and a 17 to 13 advantage.
The Royals recovered late in the fourth quarter, and
scored the winning touchdown, helped along by the running
expertise of Wood and Rocholl and several crucial Concordia
penalties.
Bethel totalled its greatest yardage of the season against
Concordia (372 yards), 324 yards rushing and 48 yards passing.
The Comets passed for 160 yards and rushed for 67 yards
for a game total of 227 yards.
The Royals play their last season football game tomorrow
at Northland College.
