Intercollegiate Crisis Colony makes the city its classroom by Betty Creighton Can you imagine being a senior quency, and urban-political sys-tems. Although she must do all the reading, she will have fewer papers to permit time for the prac-tical aspect of her program, and evaluation of her work will be done through interviews with her professors. She will also keep a weekly log of activities, impres-sions, and feelings. "Although this is just a special program for me that will cause me to graduate a semester late in my dramatics major, I feel the en-counter with other college students is a most important aspect; it's almost like new blood when one's character, mind, and personal in-terests are broadened," said Faye. "Instead of staying settled with old friends, I've had to start all over—like a freshman. l'his life style shows what control Christ does have in one's life, because you can't fake it by smiling and doing your 'good deed for the day'." Faye also especially likes the idea of working with urbaniza-tion and meeting key people in the Twin Cities area, her home. Living in the experimental area of rehabilitation near the inner city, she and the other students will vote there and will deal with improvement of housing, recrea-tion, law enforcement, education, and social service in that area. "I feel I am now discovering the challenge," said Faye.

This is what Faye Kulbitski, Bethel senior ma-joring in dramatics, has done in plunging into her new life-style at Crisis Colony in S.E. Minne-apolis. She is receiving 13 credits for the experiment in living with 16 other college students from several area colleges. In the house, the students live as a family. Individuals are re-sponsbile for their own breakfast, a committee of two is responsible for lunch, two are appointed per day to do dishes, and they all clean the whole house "when the spirit leads." Presently, they are painting the house as part of the federal governments experimental rehabilitation program in the S.E. Minneapolis area. Each morning the students at-tend class from 10-12 noon, where they hear key speakers from the political and social movements in Minneapolis, especially from the experimental inner city area. The students' afternoons must be spent in volunteer work; Faye will be working with children from 6-17 years old at a home sponsored by Volunteers of America. Her re-sponsibilities range from cooking for the younger children to head-ing up a crafts program for the older ones, and generally just talk-ing with and loving the kids. Working through the sociology and political science departments of Bethel college, Faye will re-ceive her required classroom work in urbanization, crime and delin- page 2 the CLARION Friday, October 9, 1970 Editor explains role of Clarion by Pat Faxon This is my third semester as Clarion editor and most of the time I feel pretty talked out. One year of shouting from a soap box is quite enough. There is one thing yet that I'd like to do before I leave this position, and that is to imprint clearly into the minds of you, my fellow students, just exactly what a campus newspaper is and what role it should play in the campus community. No doubt this question has been in your minds. Let me try to explain what I feel the role of the Clarion is in the Bethel community. First of all, if you think about it, a community, like an individual, can be considered a unit of human personality. Therefore many of the maxims applied to the behavior and functioning of one individual can be applied to the community. The one that comes most prominently to my mind in conjunction with a campus newspaper is one in the field of psychology concerning self-expression and growth. It states that be-fore one can grow from one point to another in his personality devel-opment, he must be able to "be" or express his existence. One of the most common ways people do this is by talking—have you ever been really hassled by something and you finally find someone who'll listen and you begin pouring out your troubles. Before you're finished it's all clear in your mind—that's sort of the way this theory works. A campus newspaper is one of an academic community's form of verbal expressions. It's a very necessary part of the community's growth. Through a paper, the community can talk and discuss out its problems, and proudly express its assets, communicate its ideas and get to know itself. The absence, stifling of or refusal to use a campus newspaper would be similar to the absence of verbal self-expression in an individual. The personality is soon distorted, loses contact with reality and dies. The personality and being of a community are comparable. For this reason an independent unstifled campus newspaper is important. It is this role in which I see the Clarion. The last issue of the Clarion touched a couple of tender spots in our community personality. As I began reading the letters to the editor that are coming in, I was astounded at their quality and the evidence of deep thoughtful concern. The contrast from last year's letters shouts of a ma-turing personality. We hope that you in the Bethel community will continue to use the Clarion as you have in the past—as a channel through which you express your opinions, as a format for issue discussion. We also hope that we as a Clarion staff can continue to serve you by keeping you informed and stimulating your thoughts, and that you will show us how we can serve you better. Students, thank you for your support in the past year. You have made the Clarion what it is.

Earl Craig Rusche explains her editorial by Marjorie M. Rusche I hope that those of you who read my editorial last week on "Christian Life Style" will look be-yond the stylistic errors I made to evaluate my viewpoint on life style. In retrospect, in reacting against the administration's negativism concerning life style, I fell into their trap and became negativistic myself. I appreciate the people who have taken me to task private-ly and publicly for this; particular-ly those letters to the editor pub-lished in this issue which were written by Pat Tyberg, Tom Billig-meier, John Lundgren, and Dr. Dalton. I have no deep-seated desire to polarize or antagonize the Bethel community, as a few people on this campus unfortunately seem to feel. There are friends and faculty here that I love dearly, there is a Spirit of God here that gives nourishment and needs stimulating and encour-agement. However, there are also attitudes, emotions, ideas, and situations at Bethel which are contrary to my and many students' conception of what a Christian life style is. We, as a campus, need to discuss and act on what a Christian life is, and what it involves as far as our aca-demic life, social life, and future plans are concerned. Let's be hon-est in facing our problems and working out our solutions. Thanks for listening one more time.

Clarion reporter questions Craig, a politician with rough edges by Jack Priggen In an exclusive Clarion interview this reporter went to the home of ex-Senatorial candidate Earl Craig for a one hour interview. Mr. Craig does not fit the mold of the average stereotyped politician, he is straight forward and overwhelmingly honest. Running against ex-Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Craig received approximately 20% of the ballots cast in the September 15th primary. The following are his post-election Interviewer: Many people look at you not as a stereotyped politician, but as a different type of politician who ran against Humphrey, not to win, but to show that Humphrey does not have absolute control of the Democratic party in Minnesota and that there are vastly opposing views within his party. What kind of impact do you feel that you had on the Humphrey campaign and on the Democratic party in this respect? Craig: We had the Humphrey people worried, and this is reflected in the fact that this past primary had the largest turnout in the states history without a major battle. Also, the voting took place on a rainy day. I also feel that we made an impact by my being black and possessing the views which I possess. We demonstrated the possibility of such a contest happening again. Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the results of the primary election? Craig: Yes, I would have liked more votes of course, but it was about what I predicted. With a campaign of only slightly over two months I'm very pleased. Interviewer: Even though you were defeated many people still support the platform upon which you ran. What role could these people, particul-arly students, take in politics that would most effectively further their views and yours? Craig: These are old answers but I would say just to organize with others of the same view to try to have some direct impact. Interviewer: What is your future political role?. Craig: Right now I have no plans to run again. I plan to continue to speak out on issues, and try to be an effective force within the party. Interviewer: If Humphrey is elected, what would be your advice to him as a senator? Craig: I would say just not to get too hung up on being Presdient, and realize that what we need is not reform of the senority system but elimin-ation of it. Interviewer: Do you support changes in higher education? Craig: Yes, I would say the concept of student participation in decision making needs to be reviewed. The student needs to be given more power in deciding what he wants to learn and what he can learn and how fast. We need to experiment with different ways of teaching, and grading (on an individual basis). Interviewer: Do you feel that God has a role in solving any of today's problems? Does he have a place in politics? What is it? Craig: I feel God plays a role only in the degree of substance he provides for the individual. The relationship in world politics is man to man; there-fore, I feel that if God is to play a part it would be in providing needs to individuals. It is hard to love God, because he makes demands on the individual far beyond what the individual is willing to give . . . man must get right down into the 'crud' of the world. Many are not willing to do this. Interviewer: Concerning some of the aspects and problems of the Twin Cities. When I suggest a word, would you elaborate on what you feel is the condition of each in the Twin Cities. The first one is education. Craig: One problem is finance. The other main problem as I see it is that education (excluding colleges and Universities) is stifling and de-structive. There is little concern for the individual, going to high school is like going to prison. Our goal should not be to mold the student to our goals; it should be to facilitate development as the student would like to be developed. Interviewer: Law Enforcement. Craig: We not only need to improve pay and training, we need to improve relations. The cop needs to be able to relate, to understand, and to be understood by the citizen. Interviewer: Quality of life. Craig: I've lived in the Twin Cities for nine years and I enjoy it, I would rather stay here than to move to any other place I've been. The area has the cultural activities I like and the physical environment is in fairly good shape. The population density on the whole is not bad compared wtih other metropolitan areas. Interviewer: Model Cities Program. Craig: It's got some problems in Minneapolis, but it is doing fairly well; it's a good program. Interviewer: Problems of the Negro. Craig: Different than other cities because of the small number of blacks in the Twin Cities. Many Negroes resent blame which is put on them that belongs to students or other portions of the general population. They have problems relating to the police, the general population, and they also have problems relating to economics. Interviewer: Drugs. Craig: The problem is increasing. There are no bright ideas on how to deal with the problem. Many of the programs are laughable. Interviewer: What do you think of the Government in the Twin Cities? Craig: Not very much, I'm not at all impressed. Stenvig is an honest man with mistaken ideas and McCarty is an insensitive tyrant, a buffoon who has very little sensitivity of the whole city. Interviewer: Taxes. Craig: They are definitely too high. The wrong people pay too high a percentage of their income compared with corporations. Property tax should be abolished and a tax put on income, this would make every-one equal. Interviewer: Racial relations. Craig: Getting more difficult, polarizations are increasing. The tendency is to blame your anxieties on another race. Interviewer: Transportation. Craig: I'm not sure whether to say bad or terrible. There are no serious discussions of mass transit. Interviewer: Pollution. Craig: Getting worse but compares favorably with other cities. In summing up the Twin Cities problems Mr. Craig stated, "The Twin Cities are at the point just before it is too late." Oneida St. headquarters of Pooneil Corner. Volunteer mans phone at Pooneil Corner. Friday, October 9, 1970 A human voice in time of need or crisis, Pooneil Corner answers the CLARION page 3 -111TIR L U by Marjorie Anderson At times everyone needs some-one to turn to. In this world, there are people who feel there is no one to turn to—not a mother, father, sister, brother, friend, lover. I am not limiting God when I say at times people need people; a hu-man voice. For God works through people to help other people find themselves. Pooneil Corner is a hu-man voice willing to listen and help the person who doesn't know who to turn to. November of last year, this group got together. The crew mem-bers were originally Macalester students and faculty who were willing to start a telephone coun-seling service. The group hoped to act as a link between Macalester students who needed help and community resources such as doc-tors, lawyers, psychologists, clin-ics and agencies. Now Pooneil Cor-ner has expanded its purpose to help those in the Twin City area. Their headquarters are located in a gray building on Oneida, in St. Paul. Last Friday night I called my sister Kathy and her husband Vic for help. I needed someone to take me down to Pooneil Corner so I could do an article for the Clarion. We had some trouble getting there because a street was being torn up and consequently had to do some back tracking. But we made it. Just when I was beginning to think that we were lost, the little gray house was sighted. It wasn't what I expected but looks are deceiving. We had to climb some steps in order to get to the second story apartment being rented as the headquarters. Kathy and Vic sat back and relaxed as I began talking to David Goldberg. Later on Mrs. Karn arrived. We began talking about how Pooneil Corner is set up. The vol-unteer workers have been organ-ized into four shifts. That way one team doesn't have to go from 12 noon to 3 in the morning. Each shift is composed of a team of vol-unteers ready to answer the phone and give aid to the person on the other end. One night a lonely person called wanting to know ways of meeting other people. After talknig for a while the concern worker gave a list of places which were good op-portunity centers for meeting peo-ple. In some other cases, the lone-ly person has been recruited to work for Pooneil Corner. Another time, the person on the other end of the phone was a scared teenage boy who had just ran away from home, had a gun, and wanted to use it on himself. Mrs. Karn was the volunteer on duty that night. By talking to the boy she discovered that he was tired, cold, hungry, and didn't have any place to go. Steve was also working that night. When the boy told where he was, Steve went to the phonebooth, picked up the boy, and took him to a place where he received food and a place to stay for the night. Sometimes a person continues to call without seeming to be helped. These people are referred to one person who is usually a psycho-logist. When this person calls back to the headquarters, the volunteer who answers will ask him how he is getting along with the person he had been referred to. Then the phone is placed on the receiver and the line is free to others who need help. At the headquarters, resource material is on hand to help those who call in for help. There are files of places to go when you are on drugs and places to get a preg-nancy test where your name does-n't have to be given. You can even get a lawyer who is willing to help in legal matters. A person wanting to be a vol-unteer, doesn't have to worry about any specific requirements. Even age doesn't create a prob-lem. The youngest member is Deb-bie, a fifteen-year-old girl, while the oldest is David Goldberg, a for-ty- year-old man. A generation gap doesn't seem to exist here al-though most of the volunteers are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. Each volunteer must go through a training session where they learn how to relate to people over the phone. A prospective volunteer will meet eight or ten times with a small group of about six people. The time involved is between thirty to forty hours. During these train-ing sessions, a person learns how to relate to individuals through a process of understanding and em-pathy. David Goldberg and Mrs. Karn said that they try to get people who are calling for help to look at themselves, because they believe each person has his or her own resources. Each person knows his situation better than anyone else. It's just that people need con-cern, someone who will listen and help them discover alternative plans in overcoming a problem. Most people just get frustrated be-cause they don't know how to ap-proach a problem. If someone is willing to listen and help them formulate different ways of solv-ing a problem, people can help themselves. Inside each person there is an answer to the problem. The difficult task is trying to find the problem and its solution. When a person is trying to find a way out, it always helps to know some-one cares enough to listen. As I was leaving Pooneil Corner Mrs. Karn told me to be careful not to fall down the steps. My re-ply was that I could always drag myself across the street to the tel-ephone phone and call Pooneil Cor-ner for help. She wisely informed me to use my own resources. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Have your two friends help you," she replied. Looking at Kathy and Vic, I smiled to myself knowing that she was right. How are you going to spend your Christmas vacation this year? I hope you don't think it's too ear-ly to think about that important question! Time passes quickly, and before you know it, first semester finals will be over. This article is to inform you of an exciting alter-native to what might otherwise be a wasted vacation. In my freshman year at Mankato State College I first heard of an organization called Operation Mo-bilization (O.M.). Here was a group of young people that, it appeared to me, did not consider the prin-ciples found in God's word to be idealistic or unattainable. They really wanted to see God accom-plish miracles in their own lives, as well as those of others. They were going out on limbs to see Him do it. The more I heard about the `all-sufficiency of Jesus,' the tre-mendous answers to prayer and living in the power of the Holy Spirit, the more sure I was that God wanted to teach me some im-portant lessons through O.M. Christmas vacatoin (1967) I join-ed with a group of 225 students in Brownsville, Texas, and Matamor-os, Mexico, in an effort to reach the border towns with the Gospel of Christ. The Lord enlarged my vision leading me to Austria for the following two summer vaca-tions, and the intervening Chris-mas in Mexico again. He gave me new interests and a new perspec-tive for my studies, especially in the German and Spanish languages that I had started to learn. Preparations are now being made for the 1970 Christmas Cru-sade in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico. It is hoped that 250 stu-dents from Christian schools and secular institutions around our country will be uniting there in an evangelistic effort for Christ. A heavy emphasis will be placed up-on literature distribution and per-sonal work. We will be cooperating with local churches, missionaries and nationals as the Lord allows. A good deal of preparation is necessary before vacation starts. There is a series of orientation tapes to listen to, and a number of short books to read. A Spanish phrase sheet must be memorized to facilitate literature distribution. (Even El Paso is about 60% Span-ish speaking.) An application must also be filled out before particip-ating in this crusade. Already a number of us have started meeting for prayer and or-ientation and have been blessed as we unite together. The purpose of this article is to inform more of you about this movement and op-portunity. Anyone is welcome at our orientation tape meetings as well as our times of prayer. Watch the Daily Calendar for times and places. You might contact Bix Bak: er or myself, Dave Selvig, for fur-ther information. by John Larson Have you ever wondered why it was always the Democrats who blundered, and you just happened to be Republican? . . . or why the Catholics carried on in superstition, and you just happened to be the purest form of Baptist? . . . or why it was always the Blacks that wrecked it for themselves, and you just happened to be Swedish? . . . or why it was the worst job of "reffing" you have ever seen, and you just happen-ed to be on the losing team? Have you ever wondered why everyone else is messed up and you just happened to escape all deception? Have you ever met anyone that had the gall to insist he was right when you, in fact, knew he was wrong? As we prove every day ourselves, no man is honest when he looks at his own life. It's too risky. For after emptying the pocketbook of one's soul on the table, in order to sort out counterfeit coins, it is just impossible to know if any authentic coins will be left. In fear of this we make every attempt to justify ourselves as being in the right without calling our own motives into question. Being completely honest with one's self begins with absolute humil-ity: forgetting all we've ever been taught, laying aside all pre-concep-tions, disowning all tradition, and opening ourselves to the Holy Spirit as He exposes the source of each motive. It ends by facing the hate and perversion that the Spirit makes known and saying 'Yes' to Him con-cerning all we see. If we are faithful, the result is Truth, not as we in-terpret it, but as Jesus sees it. Being honest, humble, and open is always painful. And we, as the Phraisees did, subtly avoid it by false justification. We hope in the sub-stance of things seen. We establish a behavior, a Biblical set of stan-dards, and a sound code of ethics which are easily followed because they are easily seen. We even go as far as saying Jesus is the epitomy of these, but this is our own resurrection. If this be the case, we are no further along than any other religion. If Jesus is an ideal to be achieved or a principle to be defended, then He is dead! If He is to mean any-thing to us, He has to be alive—And Praise God, He is alive, not as a principle, but as a person; not as the law, but as the lawmaker; not as the seen, but as the unseen. To trust in the unseen we must leave all that is behind. We must no longer trust our concepts of good and bad, black and white, acceptable and unacceptable. As we trust in Him, the Truth will reveal Himself. There is no man that truly sees his own heart. Yet, almost every man claims to understand truth. We Christians also claim Truth. Do we attempt to justify our commitment to Truth by declaring sound prin-ciples of behavior that define "right and wrong," or do we allow Jesus to justify Himself as a Person that fulfills right and wrong within each one of us. Perhaps only as we truly humble ourselves will we be able to answer. Perhaps only as we humble ourselves will we see the True Jesus Christ. Perhaps Paul is speaking to us, "You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace." Gal. 5:4,5. "Thou wilt never be an inwardly religious and devout man unless thou pass over in silence the shortcomings of thy fellow men, and dili-gently examine thine own weaknesses."—Thomas a Kempis.

To the editor: It seems to me unfortunate that, in two of the expressions of opin-ion in the last issue (one by Mar-jorie Rusche on pages two and three, the other by Doug Warring on page three) it was the one speaking for the Clarion which was factually inaccurate, character-ized by sweeping generalizations, and peevish in tone. One can only speculate as to the motives for publishing material that seems so intent on polarizing the campus. Laying foundations for a fruitful experience this year with a spiritually exciting campus seems so much more rewarding in every way. Certainly Miss Rusche's plea for discussion of life style mirrors a concern that has been in process for some time. But the blanket charge of hypocrisy is based on her ignorance of Bethel's history (e.g., students have been dismissed for cheating: students who repre-sented considerable income; but we simply do not publicize such events). To the editor (i.e., Marjorie): Please receive the following comments from one who has come to love you as a fellow Christian. Your editorial regarding problems of Christian life style at Bethel must be received as a gross carica-ture of what Bethel seeks to achieve and (allowing for human propensity for failure) does achieve in some measure. I cannot agree that whether a person smokes, drinks, etc., "is in large measure irrelevant to the kind of Christian he is." Any read-ing of the New Testament will sup-port the essential truth that "be-ing in Christ" produces a life that is qualitatively different from that of one who is not a Christian. I agree wholeheartedly that it is the Spirit of God who will exercise the refining ministry that will pro-duce the qualitative differences. I think you do a great injustice to the administrative staff, the fac-ulty, and your peers when you see only a negative approach on cam-pus to the essence of the Christian life. Neither in the catalog, chapel messages, dormitory prayer and bi-ble studies, nor in classroom teach-ing is there a dominant thrust in the direction you emphasize. The catalog says only that "the spirit of the school is to work with a minimum of rules and thus avoid a legalistic approach to Christian living. However all members of the Bethel community are expected to accept for themselves Bethel's tra-ditional non-conformist patterns of total abstinence in the use of to-bacco, alcoholic beverages, drugs, and other forms of conduct not in harmony with the spirit of the col-lege" (emphasis mine). You will notice that the emphasis is on a community practice, and that there is no implication that one cannot be a Christian and engage in some or all of these activities. In your editorial you ignore the paragraphs of this catalog state-ment that have a priority over the simple statement quoted above. I will not quote the catalog in its en-tirety, but I would invite students to read the statement (current cat-alog, p. 4) alongside your editorial. Points (2) and (4) state quite positively and succinctly the pre-vailing emphasis on what it means to be "in Christ." "Individuals en-ter personally into fellowship with More important, it seems to me, the charge seems to be based on a discounting of the warm-hearted concern of the people on this cam-pus, and on a desire to divide and destroy. Do I misread badly at this point? Can we not attack our problems without attacking the people who are so deeply affected? Further, there is an important notion involved that Miss Rusche appears totally impervious to: i.e., the responsibility of 'Bethel as an institution to determine its own character. This does not happen by majority vote once a year; nor are students the only determiners, or, indeed, the prime determiners of this character. Students set the climate of the campus, but the character of the institution is a matter for all the constituencies to have a voice in. This too needs dis-cussion, but discussion that is aimed at understanding and imple-mentation, not at dominance and destruction. Webster Muck Dean of Students God by faith in Jesus Christ and then enjoy communion with Him as born-again children of God." "The reality of the Christian life will be apparent in personalities that show the "fruit of the spirit . . . love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." I have remained at Bethel as a teacher because I have experienced a healthy sense of proportion in the endeavors to "accentuate the positive" while maintaining some minimal standards of personal con-duct for the well-being of the com-munity. I doubt whether most (or any) of my students know that I don't attend movies; I am not shouting that I don't smoke, drink, dance, etc.; I rather hope that I exhibit, however imperfectly, the fruit of the spirit because of the inner reality of God in my life. I invite all who will to grow with me. For every person who knows us for our odd-ball non-conformity, there are many who regularly com-mend 'Bethel students for their sense of propriety, their solid in-tegrity, and their exercise of the Christian graces. Even some of those who regard us as odd-balls are respectful of that in our lives that proceeds from the inner work-ing of God. Bethel is not heaven on earth because it is composed of fallible human beings, but it is great for me to look back over twenty years of personal growth (often sparked by those whom I have taught) here and to reflect upon the many stu-dents whose lives have been changed perceptively because they were open to all the positive in-fluences that are still being brought to produce the life of Christian maturity. While decrying a negativistic ap-proach to the life "in Christ" have you not been too negative in your appraisal of our objectives and of the evident fulfillment of those ob-jectives in the lives of many? Let's talk about it. Dr. Roy Dalton, Department Chairman of History and Political Science To the editor, I am not sure if I should say that your article in the October 2nd issue of the Clarion titled "Minority Recruitment is anti- Bethel" came to me as a shock. I had been quite skeptical about the reactions of some Bethel `Christian' students like you to the Minority Recruitment Program and your article has only vindicated my fears. It is quite interesting to see how you have quickly come out to judge your fellow students—to decide those who, according to you, 'are not portraying the accepted "Bethel image" as handed down by faculty' and to recommend their exit from Bethel. Bethel College has never been an industry for manufacturing holy people and for you to mention the fore-warning of the minority students of the "ex-isting campus condition" is utter nonsense. Any law-abiding student who can live in peace and harmony with people in his home and neigh-borhood and who has the love of Christ in him should indeed find Bethel a home-like institution. I am convinced that if all students were fore-warned that Bethel be-longed only to a people of a par-ticular social class and that every one coming here should consider himself or herself as a monk or nun in training, many students would not be here today. From your concern about "black students who are receiving much from Bethel' you are evidently dis-gruntled about the well-meaning efforts of the administration to stop Bethel from being a white ghetto. For someone of your intel-lectual caliber to be blind to the social impasse that faces the Unit-ed States today is only astonishing. I am not about to laud the Ad-missions Office for bringing in students through irregular chan-nels, neither am I about to say that any unjustified rebellions should be condoned at Bethel. I do strongly believe however that "this sacred institution" is the wrong place for any one to sew seeds of discord. In situations like this, Mr. Doug Warring, I dare say that unneces-sary noises from quarters like yours only do more harm than good. This is because the task of the administration in insuring an atmosphere conducive to the hap-py stay of every student is further made more complex. As every day goes by, the pros-pects for the realization of world peace becomes more and more bleak. The indiscriminate rhetoric of unscrupulous and over-zealous religious fanatics has contributed in no small way to this colossal unhappiness and I believe the times now call for a very cautious use of the tongue by those who are indeed Christians at heart. Let us as true Christians, learn to live with our fellow human beings ir-respective of the environment from which they may have come or their creed or color. Above all, let us be accommodative and let our love for our neighbors surpass the love of heathens, "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" (Matthew 5:46). Gabriel Ofotokun Class of '73 October 5, 1970 To the editor: In the Clarion's recent article on the Christian life style and Bethel's "standard," some rather timely and valid questions are pos-ed that all of us should consider as we evaluate or execute a particu-lar Christian life style. The whole approach to the problem, however, seems steeped in the negativism from which the writer in reality wants to escape. As an initial solu-tion, the "dynamic, positive ele-ments" of the Christian life are suggested, but as the problem is related more specifically to Bethel in general, the solution seems re-duced to a student body discussion of the matter with "understandable and reasonable guidelines" the re-sult. This would only be negativ-ism in some more palatable form. The key to the solution, I feel, lies in carrying out the positive aspect of Christianity with the mature thinking of one who searches the Scriptures for his guidelines. Romans 8 tells us that having the law of the spirit we are free of the law of sin. James, in the first chapter, goes on to call it the per-fect law—the law of liberty. For an individual, such a code for Christian living can be realistic, but where two or more Christian individuals are concerned, respon-sibility, not license, governs our freedom. Christianity need not sti-fle or inhibit any individual, but doing your own thing on a Chris-tian campus is naturally subject to certain limitations. None of us lives to himself. Bethel students may be capable of determining what kinds of lives they want to lead, but they are not always en-titled to live them as such. Paul, in Romans 14, in dealing with per-sonal matters of the conscience makes us painfully aware of our obligation to our brother—whether he be "a friend of Bethel," the ad-ministration, or a struggling Chris-tian. Viewing this responsibility as some sort of coercion gives a dis-torted picture of Christianity in our everyday experience. Sitting in the mdidle of the cam-pus lawn playing poker may cause one brother to stumble or may pro-vide entertainment for another. Knowing that no one consensus of opinion can ever be reached on such matters, it behooves us to take into prayerful consideration "the other guy". The strength of our Christian testimony lies not in the manifesting of the self, but in weakening and in humbling our-selves before Christ and before others.

Bethel College, acting through motives best known only to its administration, has ad-mitted blacks in order to assure all nationalities and races the priv-ilege of learning and maturing un-der Christ. This move, this "re-cruitment" as some have called it, is in step with the times. Blacks have more than proved that their abilities, although differing from individual to individual, are not ex-clusively those of an ace sports player. Just recently have blacks begun receiving comparable educa-tions to those of white in our pub-lic schools. Even now, ghetto schools are last in line for new books, sufficient supplies, and qualified teachers. These environ-mental conditions have posed great difficulty for blacks desir-ing college degrees. Either their credits from high school did not include every required course, thus failing to meet entrance re-quirements, or they were taught in such an inferior manner that upon entering college, blacks have encountered overwhelming compet-ition from whites who have re-ceived on the average a better preparatory education. Bethel has tried to meet these special needs of black students through much deserved and long awaited "preferential treatment," only to be counteracted by a few who have chosen to display their ignorance by writing a letter ap-pearing in the October second is-sue of the Clarion. When an ar-ticle serves no other purpose than to excite polarization among stu-dents, it is time we challenged not only the writers, but also the pub-lishers as to their personal knowl-edge of Christian ethics. Obviously, our needs lie in the ability to communicate, thereby understandnig and interacting in the proper perspective. The injus-tice blacks have faced from white "Christians" for nearly four hun-dred years cannot ever be undone or revenged. It can only be recti-fied by our actions now and in fol-lowing years. May God forgive us even now for our bigotry. Peter A. Varros Class of '74 To the editor: I would like to say, first of all, that I appreciate the opportunity afforded us at Bethel to express our opinions freely through such channels as the Clarion. It can only be meaningful and effective, though, when both sides of an is-sue are expressed. That is where our responsibility as part of the Bethel community comes in—in or-der to relay the most accurate im-age of the feelings on campus we must react and let our positions on policies, campus life, articles in the publications, etc., be known, whether pro or con. This is espe-cially true for the Clarion, since it is probably the major 'sounding board' of opinions on campus to those on the outside. So let's con-tinue to take advantage of this op-portunity with even more regular-ity— students, faculty and adminis-tration alike! I am reacting to the article by Marjorie Rusche, "Christian Life Style and the World . . ." (10/2). I had two basic reactions, one be-ing that of agreement with the at-titude we should have toward the minority students on campus. In short, I would like to say that we should treat them as we would any-one else—if we are not already doing so—and that is as human be-ings in need of fellowship with one nother. Thls I believe, applies to all here at Bethel, regardless of "race, color or creed." We should do our best to befriend as many as possible and let them know we care! Secondly, I am in disagreement with Marjorie's view of Bethel's `legalistic' standards. The adminis-tration "expects" the student to abide by only a few stated regula-tions, which are quite lenient when compared to regulations set forth by many other Christian colleges. As a matter of fact, the catalog only states specifically tobacco, al-coholic beverages and drugs, the use of which we are to totally ab-stain. Even then they state that the student is "only expected to ac-cept" such standards—pp. 4-5 in the new catalog. (I personally am of the opinion, in the light of pre-vious actions taken on the viola-tion of those standards, that the administration really means we are required to abstain, though not stated as such.) But we must then ask ourselves this question: are these and "other forms of conduct not in harmony with the spirit of the college" (spirit should contin-ually be defined) so vital to us that we cannot abstain from them for the short period of time that we attend Bethel? Even if we plan to, or do abstain from such forms of conduct, what difference should it make to us if there are regulations against them? I have found Phil. 3:8 to be very helpful to me when called upon to accept such regula-tions. I personally do not see any-thing wrong with the regulations as they are at the present; but, if you see the need for change, get involved in student senate, and there try to stir up some action, or at least voice your opinion and let the senators and student body respond. It would also be helpful to talk with some of the adminis-tration to find out why such stan-dards are in effect. I feel that there has to be some type of specifically stated sand-ards; after all, what was the in-tent of the Apostle Paul in writ-ing some of his letters? Some of the churches were not living up to Paul's idea of the Christian life style, so he had to set down some standards for them to abide by. Freedom in Christ does not mean complete freedom to do whatever we please (complete absence of all rules and regulations), but in-corporates within itself responsi-bility for the lives of our brothers —fellow human beings. And let's face it, there are some people who want to adopt this Christ-ian life-style, but must be led by the hand, so to speak, until they are strong enough to live it on their own—without a set of rules to follow. For the sake of these, let's be patient (I Cor. 13:4) and allow the present standards to remain as stated, giving them that helping hand that they might need, granting them the chance to strive for what Peter admonish-es in II Peter 1:5-8. Pray about this with me, that the Holy Spirit will manifest within us the right attitudes and beliefs in light of Bethel's standards, accord-ing to our own separate and dis-tinct individual lives. Tom Billigmeier Class of '72 To the editor: I am writing in response to the editorial on Bethel's life style and the letter dealing with minority recruitment. My reactions and arguments are varied. I could go into a discussion of the veracity of some of the statements and quotations in the articles mentioned or I could argue about the weakness of the articles. I guess I'll just show my bias by saying that most of these are pretty obvious. But my concern goes beyond the content of the articles. One of the things I value most about Bethel is the love and unity we have in Christ. He wants us to "love one another," and "be one." John 2:8, John 17:21. We know this oneness does not necessitate sameness. At least, theoretically we know it. Of course, we don't live it completely. But this unity and oneness is some-thing that we must conscientiously work at. We must not try to smooth over differences, establishing a psuedo-unity, which is only a sub-stitute— a conformity. But we must recognize our differences and func-tion together as different parts of Christ's body. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Polarity is fine in chemical bonding, but if you upper classmen remember last spring, it doesn't exactly strengthen the pro-verbial bond of fellowship. Let's not peck away at ourselves just for the sake of sophistication, or critical objectivity or righteous indignation or whatever lofty rea-son we might have. Here is where the Clarion has a heavy responsibility because of the potential it has for controver-sy. It is lethal if we close our eyes to problems. But why create is-sues or force unnecessary points? So I, too, say let's not be nega-tavistic. We need positive aggres-siveness as individuals and as a Christian community. Let's work and love together as a body and maybe at least a few men will know that we are His disciples. John Lundgren Class of '71 Senior Betty Creighton, majoring in English, Secondary Education.

Come on now, where's your ro-mantic spirit? How does the chal-lenge of a six thousand mile train ride across the U.S.S.R. appeal to you, or staying with missionaries in remote areas of Hong Kong and the Philippines? Soaring through the air as your glider wings its way among the mountains of Germany? At least two former Bethel stu-dents have such a spirit, as Dan Johnson and Don Nelson can at-test, having made an eighty-eight day tour around the world this past summer. Dan, who teaches a class in ge-ography at Bethel, is well acquain-ted with the fine art of interna-tional travel, having spent the last three summers abroad. Taking ad-vantage of Don's location in Ger-many while on tour with the Beth-el Male Chorus since early June, Dan met him there after visiting relatives in Sweden until the mid-dle of July. Both Dan and Don are licensed pilots, and spent the greater part of two days acquaint-ing themselves with Germany's skies by piloting gliders, a light, motorless plane which makes use of air currents. As they went on to spend two days in Prague, Czechoslovakia, time was similarly spent at an easy pace without any structured plans, getting their greatest enjoyment from colorful people and places. Along the route from Prague to Warsaw, Poland, and to Moscow, Dan and Don stayed in youth hos-tels, which are inexpensive, dorm-like housing. In Moscow, they combed the city by foot, and dur-ing their five-day stay, attended church service at the Moscow Bap-tist Church. Dan says he and Don were the youngest present, the congregation consisting mainly of elderly women. However, the hymns sung were Russian transla-tions of American favorites sung in most Protestant churches. Perhaps the most outstanding portion of Dan and Don's travels was the seven-day train ride on the Trans-Siberia Railways from Moscow to Vladivostock, Siberia. Dan and Don felt accustomed to the area, since Siberian vegetation and scenery resemble parts of Minnesota, and some might go as far as to say the two are alike climatically, at least during the winter months! After a three-week stay in and around Moscow and Vladivostock, a two-day boat ride almost magic-ally transported Dan and Don to another world, that of Osaka, Jap-an, and Expo '70, the most talked about and exciting international exposition in either Western or Eastern history. Five days were spent almost exclusively at the Expo. While in Osaka, they were the guests of Sarah Reasoner, a Bethel student home for the sum-mer, and her parents, who are missionaries to Japan. The next stop was Tokyo, where they spent four days at a mission post in the mountains. The city of Tokyo it-self is a massive industrial tangle with pollution far worse than any of our American cities. The most glamorous means of transportation either Dan or Don used during the summer was a Boeing 747 superjet from Tokyo to Hong Kong, where another four days were filled by trips to the border along Red China. Dan also did some shopping in the busy commercial seaport, and am-ong his bargains was a camera at one-third the cost in the U.S. Don Nelson and his parents had been missionaries stationed on the island of Cebu in the Philpipines for eleven years. His family left six years ago, so it was almost ob-ligatory that he and Dan head there before returning to the states. They flew out to the islands and received a warm reception from our conference missionaries on Cebu, where they stayed for two weeks. Don was the first to re-turn home, leaving Manila for Min-neapolis after three months of travel. He will be an aviator for the U.S. Navy beginning next Feb-ruary. Dan spent two beautiful days in Hawaii before flying to San Francisco to see his brother and sister-in-law and their new baby. He flew out to Minneapolis the same day classes began. During his travels, Dan kept a journal from which he flavors his lectures with personal experiences and slides taken "on location." He anticipates leading an African sa-fari in the summer of '71. If the experience of traveling the world over is not fantastic enough in itself perhaps those of us who are slightly blase' will be interested to know that because of Dan's profession i.e., teaching ge-ography, the entire summer's ex-penses are tax deductible! But whether your travels are deducti-ble or not, Dan advises that "the best time to travel is right now. Your college years are the most free, and student rates are the cheapest."

WHAT EV(L Lu RKS iro THe SHADOW 111 r DOOR Friday, October 9, 1970 the CLARION Page 7 Big-little Sis banquet cancellation now explained by Wendell Wahlin Want something that will really bring your beads to a bud? Then try stepping into Judy's and Lois's shoes two nights before a Dayton's deadline. A minimum of three hun-dred twenty-five reservations are needed and only twenty-five have been purchased. At stake are many long hours of work and weeks of planning. What would you have done? Why, naturally, you would have gone around to the dorms and contacted as many as possible just as Judy and Lois did, right? Right. And just as natu-rally you would have sold only eighty more tickets, right? That's quite a predicament to get into and an even tougher one to get out of. As co-chairwomen of the Big-Little Sis Banquet this year, Judy Olsen and Lois Rahn expressed disappointment that the feature, the Banquet, had to be cancelled. They gave several reasons. One was the obligation to the deadline given them by Dayton's. It's ex-tremely difficult to finalize a $1,000 transaction when only $350 of that amount can be accounted for. A second reason, related to the first, was the item of cost. Al-though designed to be a Dutch-treat affair, many can still be counted as dissenting because of the $3.50 per ticket price. A third reason may be a degree of apathy and disinterest exhibited by both big and little sis's alike. There are influences and under-lying reasons, however, which may have greatly induced such atti-tudes. The purpose of the B.L.S. program is to give new girls a helping hand in the first days of getting settled and adjusted to col-lege routine. Simply, it's great to have someone around that's inter-ested and cares about you. This is what B.L.S. is all about. This objective is tough to accom-plish, however, when we have a divided campus, all frosh on, all upper-class off (except for R.A.'s and D.C. members in the dorms). Miss Mom's baking!

Of course, I am a bit bi-enough big sis's, in fact, we ran out ased in my views because the past and had to ask girls to take a little three years I have repeatedly been sis even though they didn't even refused either a big or a little sis sign up for one!" . . . and I'm not particular, either Though the Banquet falling would have been fine! fillobir ebieiv "Patton" is a portrait of the man by Dave Greener A large American flag covers the screen. In fact, we see nothing but a large American flag. Then appears Patton, dressed in full and impressive officer regalia, decoration upon decoration upon his chest. The World War II general speaks directly to us, very much in the manner of a football coach: Americans like a fight, he says; the Saturday Evening Post is of course errant in its pleas for isolation. Americans like a winner, he tells us— the "best marble shooters, the fastest runners, and big league ball players" are the ones revered. (Individualism, however, is to be dis-counted.) We are exhorted in this pep talk to murder Huns and even (figur-atively, apparently) mutilate them. (You won't turn chicken in battle— you'll be more willing to fight when you look down on what had once been your best friend.) The motion picture "Patton" is a wartime chronicle of Patton, the man. It also is an authentic—you were there—glimpse into certain hap-penings of World War II. And so we follow Patton and his men and tanks in North Africa and Europe. We see Patton, the strategist and military historian—he reads Caesar; in one battle he has read Rommel's own book on tactics and knows what to expect from Rommel's men. We see Patton, the be-liever in reincarnation—he was there, he says, when Rome fought Carthage; he was at other places in the past as well. We view Patton, the military leader—the somewhat splendid strate-gist who loves to lead troops in battle; the "magnificent anachronism" as one German calls him who would have performed equally well at the head of one of Caesar's legions (the same German suggests Patton belongs more to the Sixteenth than the Twentieth Century; because warfare is now "modern," Patton wistfully agrees—"God, how I hate the Twentieth century."). We also see Patton, the man who reads the Bible and prays to God yet swears like a "stable boy." We see Patton, the rebel—he once stretches orders so that he can advance further. Here and elsewhere his drive is versus such things as the political necessities of keeping harmony with British and Russian allies. (Ultimately, his desire to keep pushing and his spoken contempt for the Russians help cost him his particular field command.) We also see Patton, the egotist (his pistols have ivory, not pearl handles, thank you) and the seeker of fame. Perhaps he bases much of this search on a sense of his own destiny; also, he may have a sense of mission that expresses itself in anti-Fascist and anti-Bolshevik feelings. Nevertheless, he is a prima donna and he admits it. He is an effective fighter and he drives his men and commanders hard and they be-come an effective fighting unit. But, tragically, they are sometimes used for Patton's own ends. True, other generals and officers may do this also. They too have goals, hopes and fears (such as fame, promotion or the threat of demotion). Officers perhaps usually think of their men as numbers to be manipulated. And it may be that a costly but quick victory is better than a long but less costly one. But in my opinion, it can sometimes be a tragedy when men are manipulated for one man's interests. And with Patton it happens at least once. To die for one's country is one thing. And it's also another thing as in the Bible, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (Jn. 15:13) But (and especially if I was there because I was stuck there) I would really feel cheated if I died so that George Patton could beat General Montgomery to Messina. The acting in "Patton" is good (incidentally, George Scott plays the title role). The Patton biography apparently suffers little "Hollywood-ization." The presented panorama of the war itself, with possible minor ex-ception, is very authentic. While the film may not contain many if any "great truths," it is a painless, non-booking way (in the comfort of a theater) to be an eyewitness to the past . . . and to see a portrait of one man who played a role in it. by Harold C. I see little difference between the material possessions of "the world" and that of "the General Baptist Christian." Jesus said to his deciples, "I tell you this: a rich man will find it hard to enter the kingdom of heaven. I repeat, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the knigdom of God .. . "Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where it grows rusty and moth eaten, and theives break in to steal it. Store up treasure in heaven, where there is no moth and no rust to spoil it, no thieves to break in and steal. No servant can be the slave of two masters; for either he will hate the first and love the second or he will be devoted to the first and think nothing of the second. You cannot serve God and Money. John the Baptist taught this in Matthew— "He who has two coats, let him share with him that has none and he who as food, let him do likewise." What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul —ah but to gain the whole world and save your soul . . . theologically it can be done—but in the spirit of Jesus' love, how can a Christian waste money on "things" when there are hungry people across town? They don't have to live by you—You Know They Are There. Most of you students are probably thinking—I don't have any money, what's he writing this for—Well, I'll tell you—you are going to college and when you leave here you will have a piece of paper that is called a degree. This degree enables you to make lots of dollars. You then can buy a 1971 Pontiac—with tape player and chrome wheels. This will greatly impress the girls and everyone else.

His works have a very bright luster because of the use of golds, shiny reds, and bright orange glazes. Jerry's ideas of cer-amics are very different from the conventional concept of pottery held here in the Midwest. His works are in the 'pop arts' imagery. His goal is to show what clay can be used to say above the functional aspect. Mr. Chappelle's lithographs cov-er many topics. Recurring objects include stars, bombs, guns, and faces. It seems that some of the lithographs have social comment but as Mr. Luckman was quick to point out these are not really a so-cial comment, it's just that "these are the things that Mr. Chappelle likes to draw." The closest thing to social comment is the ceramic piece labeled, "The Pill." I won't tell you why, you'll have to find out for yourself. I asked Mr. Luckman the reason for the show being on Bethel cam-pus. He replied that it was to "ex-pose the campus to a new three dimensional vocabulary by a novel use of clay and glazes in nonfunc-tional forms. It will also let art stu-dents see new avenues of explora-tion in the field of ceramics. If you want to see something different the field of ceramics or even if you're just curious come down to the Art Department and view this show." the Amazing Adventures of T. T. Trend by Sam Griffith You probably don't know it but there is an art show going on right now in the Bethel Art Department. The Show will run through Octo-ber 23 and is by an outside artist named Jerry Chappelle. Mr. Chap-pelle is a friend of our very own Stu Luckman. They were class-mates back who knows when. Any-way, Jerry Chappelle is married and has three children and is pres-ently at the University of Georgia. Mr. Chappelle's show consists of lithographs and some "funky cer-amic stuff." He makes three dim-ensional clay 'things' that are non-functional, in other words they don't hold water or flowers. Also, he uses what Mr. Luckman called Dean Lindberg The Hot Corner By Rich Zaderaka Most of the people who don't like the cracks I've been taking at Min-nesota probably watch the games on television and never go out to the stadium.

The win was especially sweet as it gave the Roy-als revenge for last year's 3-0 de-feat by Trinity. This afternoon the team played a first round game in the Platte-ville Soccer Tournament against Purdue University of Calumet. Pending the outcome of that game, Bethel will play against either Platteville or Knox College tomor-row. Next Wednesday the Royals will be challenged again by Concordia of St. Paul. Bethel won the first game from the Comets and are hoping they will be able to extend a winning streak with a victory in that game. Cross country places second by John Lundgren Royal harriers defeated Gustavus Adolphus but lost to St. Thomas in a triangular cross country meet at St. Catherine's Saturday. St. Thomas rang up a perfect score of 15. Bethel had 57, Gustavus 66. Phil James again led Bethel with a time of 21:30 for the four-mile course. Dan Brodin, freshman, was right behind Phil. They were fol-lowed by Roger Deneen, Dave Greener, Dave Foy, Greg Speck, and Dennis Zaderaka. Next Satur-day, the team travels to Wisconsin for a quadrangular at Stout State. Royal PI wins, clout cons 25-0 by Rich Zaderaka The Bethel Junior Varsity squad defeated Stillwater Prison last Fri-day by the score of 25-0. Naturally it was a home game for the prison team. None of the Stillwater backs was able to break away for a long run; not long enough anyway. The Royal defense and the guards in the pressbox saw to that. Bethel's first score came on an end run by Dan Blomquist. The Royals scored again just before the end of the first half on a pass from Bill Catto to Bill Bragg. A pass from Mark Lindgren to Bill Bragg provided the third score. A short plunge by Emery Lindgren closed out the offensive splurge. Outstanding defense was played by Jack Auffant, who also played offensive center, Mark Howard and Dave Howard, who both had inter-ceptions, and by Ralph Gustarson, who had a fumble recoverey. Tomorrow the varsity tackles Concordia of St. Paul. The Comets have had a very successful season so far with a record of 3-1. Bethel will have to be in top form to win.

Crisis Colony ...26th St. and Columbus Ave. in Model Cities area. Intercollegiate Crisis Colony makes the city its classroom by Betty Creighton Can you imagine being a senior quency, and urban-political sys-tems. Although she must do all the reading, she will have fewer papers to permit time for the prac-tical aspect of her program, and evaluation of her work will be done through interviews with her professors. She will also keep a weekly log of activities, impres-sions, and feelings. "Although this is just a special program for me that will cause me to graduate a semester late in my dramatics major, I feel the en-counter with other college students is a most important aspect; it's almost like new blood when one's character, mind, and personal in-terests are broadened," said Faye. "Instead of staying settled with old friends, I've had to start all over—like a freshman. l'his life style shows what control Christ does have in one's life, because you can't fake it by smiling and doing your 'good deed for the day'." Faye also especially likes the idea of working with urbaniza-tion and meeting key people in the Twin Cities area, her home. Living in the experimental area of rehabilitation near the inner city, she and the other students will vote there and will deal with improvement of housing, recrea-tion, law enforcement, education, and social service in that area. "I feel I am now discovering the challenge," said Faye. "While claiming no victory in this area of Christ-control, the challenge is in allowing Him to take more and more control in this life-style .. . Just in any life-style."

This is what Faye Kulbitski, Bethel senior ma-joring in dramatics, has done in plunging into her new life-style at Crisis Colony in S.E. Minne-apolis. She is receiving 13 credits for the experiment in living with 16 other college students from several area colleges. In the house, the students live as a family. Individuals are re-sponsbile for their own breakfast, a committee of two is responsible for lunch, two are appointed per day to do dishes, and they all clean the whole house "when the spirit leads." Presently, they are painting the house as part of the federal governments experimental rehabilitation program in the S.E. Minneapolis area. Each morning the students at-tend class from 10-12 noon, where they hear key speakers from the political and social movements in Minneapolis, especially from the experimental inner city area. The students' afternoons must be spent in volunteer work; Faye will be working with children from 6-17 years old at a home sponsored by Volunteers of America. Her re-sponsibilities range from cooking for the younger children to head-ing up a crafts program for the older ones, and generally just talk-ing with and loving the kids. Working through the sociology and political science departments of Bethel college, Faye will re-ceive her required classroom work in urbanization, crime and delin- page 2 the CLARION Friday, October 9, 1970 Editor explains role of Clarion by Pat Faxon This is my third semester as Clarion editor and most of the time I feel pretty talked out. One year of shouting from a soap box is quite enough. There is one thing yet that I'd like to do before I leave this position, and that is to imprint clearly into the minds of you, my fellow students, just exactly what a campus newspaper is and what role it should play in the campus community. No doubt this question has been in your minds. Let me try to explain what I feel the role of the Clarion is in the Bethel community. First of all, if you think about it, a community, like an individual, can be considered a unit of human personality. Therefore many of the maxims applied to the behavior and functioning of one individual can be applied to the community. The one that comes most prominently to my mind in conjunction with a campus newspaper is one in the field of psychology concerning self-expression and growth. It states that be-fore one can grow from one point to another in his personality devel-opment, he must be able to "be" or express his existence. One of the most common ways people do this is by talking—have you ever been really hassled by something and you finally find someone who'll listen and you begin pouring out your troubles. Before you're finished it's all clear in your mind—that's sort of the way this theory works. A campus newspaper is one of an academic community's form of verbal expressions. It's a very necessary part of the community's growth. Through a paper, the community can talk and discuss out its problems, and proudly express its assets, communicate its ideas and get to know itself. The absence, stifling of or refusal to use a campus newspaper would be similar to the absence of verbal self-expression in an individual. The personality is soon distorted, loses contact with reality and dies. The personality and being of a community are comparable. For this reason an independent unstifled campus newspaper is important. It is this role in which I see the Clarion. The last issue of the Clarion touched a couple of tender spots in our community personality. As I began reading the letters to the editor that are coming in, I was astounded at their quality and the evidence of deep thoughtful concern. The contrast from last year's letters shouts of a ma-turing personality. We hope that you in the Bethel community will continue to use the Clarion as you have in the past—as a channel through which you express your opinions, as a format for issue discussion. We also hope that we as a Clarion staff can continue to serve you by keeping you informed and stimulating your thoughts, and that you will show us how we can serve you better. Students, thank you for your support in the past year. You have made the Clarion what it is.

Earl Craig Rusche explains her editorial by Marjorie M. Rusche I hope that those of you who read my editorial last week on "Christian Life Style" will look be-yond the stylistic errors I made to evaluate my viewpoint on life style. In retrospect, in reacting against the administration's negativism concerning life style, I fell into their trap and became negativistic myself. I appreciate the people who have taken me to task private-ly and publicly for this; particular-ly those letters to the editor pub-lished in this issue which were written by Pat Tyberg, Tom Billig-meier, John Lundgren, and Dr. Dalton. I have no deep-seated desire to polarize or antagonize the Bethel community, as a few people on this campus unfortunately seem to feel. There are friends and faculty here that I love dearly, there is a Spirit of God here that gives nourishment and needs stimulating and encour-agement. However, there are also attitudes, emotions, ideas, and situations at Bethel which are contrary to my and many students' conception of what a Christian life style is. We, as a campus, need to discuss and act on what a Christian life is, and what it involves as far as our aca-demic life, social life, and future plans are concerned. Let's be hon-est in facing our problems and working out our solutions. Thanks for listening one more time.

Clarion reporter questions Craig, a politician with rough edges by Jack Priggen In an exclusive Clarion interview this reporter went to the home of ex-Senatorial candidate Earl Craig for a one hour interview. Mr. Craig does not fit the mold of the average stereotyped politician, he is straight forward and overwhelmingly honest. Running against ex-Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Craig received approximately 20% of the ballots cast in the September 15th primary. The following are his post-election Interviewer: Many people look at you not as a stereotyped politician, but as a different type of politician who ran against Humphrey, not to win, but to show that Humphrey does not have absolute control of the Democratic party in Minnesota and that there are vastly opposing views within his party. What kind of impact do you feel that you had on the Humphrey campaign and on the Democratic party in this respect? Craig: We had the Humphrey people worried, and this is reflected in the fact that this past primary had the largest turnout in the states history without a major battle. Also, the voting took place on a rainy day. I also feel that we made an impact by my being black and possessing the views which I possess. We demonstrated the possibility of such a contest happening again. Interviewer: Are you satisfied with the results of the primary election? Craig: Yes, I would have liked more votes of course, but it was about what I predicted. With a campaign of only slightly over two months I'm very pleased. Interviewer: Even though you were defeated many people still support the platform upon which you ran. What role could these people, particul-arly students, take in politics that would most effectively further their views and yours? Craig: These are old answers but I would say just to organize with others of the same view to try to have some direct impact. Interviewer: What is your future political role?. Craig: Right now I have no plans to run again. I plan to continue to speak out on issues, and try to be an effective force within the party. Interviewer: If Humphrey is elected, what would be your advice to him as a senator? Craig: I would say just not to get too hung up on being Presdient, and realize that what we need is not reform of the senority system but elimin-ation of it. Interviewer: Do you support changes in higher education? Craig: Yes, I would say the concept of student participation in decision making needs to be reviewed. The student needs to be given more power in deciding what he wants to learn and what he can learn and how fast. We need to experiment with different ways of teaching, and grading (on an individual basis). Interviewer: Do you feel that God has a role in solving any of today's problems? Does he have a place in politics? What is it? Craig: I feel God plays a role only in the degree of substance he provides for the individual. The relationship in world politics is man to man; there-fore, I feel that if God is to play a part it would be in providing needs to individuals. It is hard to love God, because he makes demands on the individual far beyond what the individual is willing to give . . . man must get right down into the 'crud' of the world. Many are not willing to do this. Interviewer: Concerning some of the aspects and problems of the Twin Cities. When I suggest a word, would you elaborate on what you feel is the condition of each in the Twin Cities. The first one is education. Craig: One problem is finance. The other main problem as I see it is that education (excluding colleges and Universities) is stifling and de-structive. There is little concern for the individual, going to high school is like going to prison. Our goal should not be to mold the student to our goals; it should be to facilitate development as the student would like to be developed. Interviewer: Law Enforcement. Craig: We not only need to improve pay and training, we need to improve relations. The cop needs to be able to relate, to understand, and to be understood by the citizen. Interviewer: Quality of life. Craig: I've lived in the Twin Cities for nine years and I enjoy it, I would rather stay here than to move to any other place I've been. The area has the cultural activities I like and the physical environment is in fairly good shape. The population density on the whole is not bad compared wtih other metropolitan areas. Interviewer: Model Cities Program. Craig: It's got some problems in Minneapolis, but it is doing fairly well; it's a good program. Interviewer: Problems of the Negro. Craig: Different than other cities because of the small number of blacks in the Twin Cities. Many Negroes resent blame which is put on them that belongs to students or other portions of the general population. They have problems relating to the police, the general population, and they also have problems relating to economics. Interviewer: Drugs. Craig: The problem is increasing. There are no bright ideas on how to deal with the problem. Many of the programs are laughable. Interviewer: What do you think of the Government in the Twin Cities? Craig: Not very much, I'm not at all impressed. Stenvig is an honest man with mistaken ideas and McCarty is an insensitive tyrant, a buffoon who has very little sensitivity of the whole city. Interviewer: Taxes. Craig: They are definitely too high. The wrong people pay too high a percentage of their income compared with corporations. Property tax should be abolished and a tax put on income, this would make every-one equal. Interviewer: Racial relations. Craig: Getting more difficult, polarizations are increasing. The tendency is to blame your anxieties on another race. Interviewer: Transportation. Craig: I'm not sure whether to say bad or terrible. There are no serious discussions of mass transit. Interviewer: Pollution. Craig: Getting worse but compares favorably with other cities. In summing up the Twin Cities problems Mr. Craig stated, "The Twin Cities are at the point just before it is too late." Oneida St. headquarters of Pooneil Corner. Volunteer mans phone at Pooneil Corner. Friday, October 9, 1970 A human voice in time of need or crisis, Pooneil Corner answers the CLARION page 3 -111TIR L U by Marjorie Anderson At times everyone needs some-one to turn to. In this world, there are people who feel there is no one to turn to—not a mother, father, sister, brother, friend, lover. I am not limiting God when I say at times people need people; a hu-man voice. For God works through people to help other people find themselves. Pooneil Corner is a hu-man voice willing to listen and help the person who doesn't know who to turn to. November of last year, this group got together. The crew mem-bers were originally Macalester students and faculty who were willing to start a telephone coun-seling service. The group hoped to act as a link between Macalester students who needed help and community resources such as doc-tors, lawyers, psychologists, clin-ics and agencies. Now Pooneil Cor-ner has expanded its purpose to help those in the Twin City area. Their headquarters are located in a gray building on Oneida, in St. Paul. Last Friday night I called my sister Kathy and her husband Vic for help. I needed someone to take me down to Pooneil Corner so I could do an article for the Clarion. We had some trouble getting there because a street was being torn up and consequently had to do some back tracking. But we made it. Just when I was beginning to think that we were lost, the little gray house was sighted. It wasn't what I expected but looks are deceiving. We had to climb some steps in order to get to the second story apartment being rented as the headquarters. Kathy and Vic sat back and relaxed as I began talking to David Goldberg. Later on Mrs. Karn arrived. We began talking about how Pooneil Corner is set up. The vol-unteer workers have been organ-ized into four shifts. That way one team doesn't have to go from 12 noon to 3 in the morning. Each shift is composed of a team of vol-unteers ready to answer the phone and give aid to the person on the other end. One night a lonely person called wanting to know ways of meeting other people. After talknig for a while the concern worker gave a list of places which were good op-portunity centers for meeting peo-ple. In some other cases, the lone-ly person has been recruited to work for Pooneil Corner. Another time, the person on the other end of the phone was a scared teenage boy who had just ran away from home, had a gun, and wanted to use it on himself. Mrs. Karn was the volunteer on duty that night. By talking to the boy she discovered that he was tired, cold, hungry, and didn't have any place to go. Steve was also working that night. When the boy told where he was, Steve went to the phonebooth, picked up the boy, and took him to a place where he received food and a place to stay for the night. Sometimes a person continues to call without seeming to be helped. These people are referred to one person who is usually a psycho-logist. When this person calls back to the headquarters, the volunteer who answers will ask him how he is getting along with the person he had been referred to. Then the phone is placed on the receiver and the line is free to others who need help. At the headquarters, resource material is on hand to help those who call in for help. There are files of places to go when you are on drugs and places to get a preg-nancy test where your name does-n't have to be given. You can even get a lawyer who is willing to help in legal matters. A person wanting to be a vol-unteer, doesn't have to worry about any specific requirements. Even age doesn't create a prob-lem. The youngest member is Deb-bie, a fifteen-year-old girl, while the oldest is David Goldberg, a for-ty- year-old man. A generation gap doesn't seem to exist here al-though most of the volunteers are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. Each volunteer must go through a training session where they learn how to relate to people over the phone. A prospective volunteer will meet eight or ten times with a small group of about six people. The time involved is between thirty to forty hours. During these train-ing sessions, a person learns how to relate to individuals through a process of understanding and em-pathy. David Goldberg and Mrs. Karn said that they try to get people who are calling for help to look at themselves, because they believe each person has his or her own resources. Each person knows his situation better than anyone else. It's just that people need con-cern, someone who will listen and help them discover alternative plans in overcoming a problem. Most people just get frustrated be-cause they don't know how to ap-proach a problem. If someone is willing to listen and help them formulate different ways of solv-ing a problem, people can help themselves. Inside each person there is an answer to the problem. The difficult task is trying to find the problem and its solution. When a person is trying to find a way out, it always helps to know some-one cares enough to listen. As I was leaving Pooneil Corner Mrs. Karn told me to be careful not to fall down the steps. My re-ply was that I could always drag myself across the street to the tel-ephone phone and call Pooneil Cor-ner for help. She wisely informed me to use my own resources. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Have your two friends help you," she replied. Looking at Kathy and Vic, I smiled to myself knowing that she was right. How are you going to spend your Christmas vacation this year? I hope you don't think it's too ear-ly to think about that important question! Time passes quickly, and before you know it, first semester finals will be over. This article is to inform you of an exciting alter-native to what might otherwise be a wasted vacation. In my freshman year at Mankato State College I first heard of an organization called Operation Mo-bilization (O.M.). Here was a group of young people that, it appeared to me, did not consider the prin-ciples found in God's word to be idealistic or unattainable. They really wanted to see God accom-plish miracles in their own lives, as well as those of others. They were going out on limbs to see Him do it. The more I heard about the `all-sufficiency of Jesus,' the tre-mendous answers to prayer and living in the power of the Holy Spirit, the more sure I was that God wanted to teach me some im-portant lessons through O.M. Christmas vacatoin (1967) I join-ed with a group of 225 students in Brownsville, Texas, and Matamor-os, Mexico, in an effort to reach the border towns with the Gospel of Christ. The Lord enlarged my vision leading me to Austria for the following two summer vaca-tions, and the intervening Chris-mas in Mexico again. He gave me new interests and a new perspec-tive for my studies, especially in the German and Spanish languages that I had started to learn. Preparations are now being made for the 1970 Christmas Cru-sade in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico. It is hoped that 250 stu-dents from Christian schools and secular institutions around our country will be uniting there in an evangelistic effort for Christ. A heavy emphasis will be placed up-on literature distribution and per-sonal work. We will be cooperating with local churches, missionaries and nationals as the Lord allows. A good deal of preparation is necessary before vacation starts. There is a series of orientation tapes to listen to, and a number of short books to read. A Spanish phrase sheet must be memorized to facilitate literature distribution. (Even El Paso is about 60% Span-ish speaking.) An application must also be filled out before particip-ating in this crusade. Already a number of us have started meeting for prayer and or-ientation and have been blessed as we unite together. The purpose of this article is to inform more of you about this movement and op-portunity. Anyone is welcome at our orientation tape meetings as well as our times of prayer. Watch the Daily Calendar for times and places. You might contact Bix Bak: er or myself, Dave Selvig, for fur-ther information. by John Larson Have you ever wondered why it was always the Democrats who blundered, and you just happened to be Republican? . . . or why the Catholics carried on in superstition, and you just happened to be the purest form of Baptist? . . . or why it was always the Blacks that wrecked it for themselves, and you just happened to be Swedish? . . . or why it was the worst job of "reffing" you have ever seen, and you just happen-ed to be on the losing team? Have you ever wondered why everyone else is messed up and you just happened to escape all deception? Have you ever met anyone that had the gall to insist he was right when you, in fact, knew he was wrong? As we prove every day ourselves, no man is honest when he looks at his own life. It's too risky. For after emptying the pocketbook of one's soul on the table, in order to sort out counterfeit coins, it is just impossible to know if any authentic coins will be left. In fear of this we make every attempt to justify ourselves as being in the right without calling our own motives into question. Being completely honest with one's self begins with absolute humil-ity: forgetting all we've ever been taught, laying aside all pre-concep-tions, disowning all tradition, and opening ourselves to the Holy Spirit as He exposes the source of each motive. It ends by facing the hate and perversion that the Spirit makes known and saying 'Yes' to Him con-cerning all we see. If we are faithful, the result is Truth, not as we in-terpret it, but as Jesus sees it. Being honest, humble, and open is always painful. And we, as the Phraisees did, subtly avoid it by false justification. We hope in the sub-stance of things seen. We establish a behavior, a Biblical set of stan-dards, and a sound code of ethics which are easily followed because they are easily seen. We even go as far as saying Jesus is the epitomy of these, but this is our own resurrection. If this be the case, we are no further along than any other religion. If Jesus is an ideal to be achieved or a principle to be defended, then He is dead! If He is to mean any-thing to us, He has to be alive—And Praise God, He is alive, not as a principle, but as a person; not as the law, but as the lawmaker; not as the seen, but as the unseen. To trust in the unseen we must leave all that is behind. We must no longer trust our concepts of good and bad, black and white, acceptable and unacceptable. As we trust in Him, the Truth will reveal Himself. There is no man that truly sees his own heart. Yet, almost every man claims to understand truth. We Christians also claim Truth. Do we attempt to justify our commitment to Truth by declaring sound prin-ciples of behavior that define "right and wrong," or do we allow Jesus to justify Himself as a Person that fulfills right and wrong within each one of us. Perhaps only as we truly humble ourselves will we be able to answer. Perhaps only as we humble ourselves will we see the True Jesus Christ. Perhaps Paul is speaking to us, "You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace." Gal. 5:4,5. "Thou wilt never be an inwardly religious and devout man unless thou pass over in silence the shortcomings of thy fellow men, and dili-gently examine thine own weaknesses."—Thomas a Kempis. Too early to think about Christmas? by Dave Selvig Steve Lee and Greg Brunco help Bethel co-ed "cool-it"... Page 4 the CLARION Friday, October 9, 1970 Bethel Forum if you're not part of the solution... you're part of the problem. To the editor: It seems to me unfortunate that, in two of the expressions of opin-ion in the last issue (one by Mar-jorie Rusche on pages two and three, the other by Doug Warring on page three) it was the one speaking for the Clarion which was factually inaccurate, character-ized by sweeping generalizations, and peevish in tone. One can only speculate as to the motives for publishing material that seems so intent on polarizing the campus. Laying foundations for a fruitful experience this year with a spiritually exciting campus seems so much more rewarding in every way. Certainly Miss Rusche's plea for discussion of life style mirrors a concern that has been in process for some time. But the blanket charge of hypocrisy is based on her ignorance of Bethel's history (e.g., students have been dismissed for cheating: students who repre-sented considerable income; but we simply do not publicize such events). To the editor (i.e., Marjorie): Please receive the following comments from one who has come to love you as a fellow Christian. Your editorial regarding problems of Christian life style at Bethel must be received as a gross carica-ture of what Bethel seeks to achieve and (allowing for human propensity for failure) does achieve in some measure. I cannot agree that whether a person smokes, drinks, etc., "is in large measure irrelevant to the kind of Christian he is." Any read-ing of the New Testament will sup-port the essential truth that "be-ing in Christ" produces a life that is qualitatively different from that of one who is not a Christian. I agree wholeheartedly that it is the Spirit of God who will exercise the refining ministry that will pro-duce the qualitative differences. I think you do a great injustice to the administrative staff, the fac-ulty, and your peers when you see only a negative approach on cam-pus to the essence of the Christian life. Neither in the catalog, chapel messages, dormitory prayer and bi-ble studies, nor in classroom teach-ing is there a dominant thrust in the direction you emphasize. The catalog says only that "the spirit of the school is to work with a minimum of rules and thus avoid a legalistic approach to Christian living. However all members of the Bethel community are expected to accept for themselves Bethel's tra-ditional non-conformist patterns of total abstinence in the use of to-bacco, alcoholic beverages, drugs, and other forms of conduct not in harmony with the spirit of the col-lege" (emphasis mine). You will notice that the emphasis is on a community practice, and that there is no implication that one cannot be a Christian and engage in some or all of these activities. In your editorial you ignore the paragraphs of this catalog state-ment that have a priority over the simple statement quoted above. I will not quote the catalog in its en-tirety, but I would invite students to read the statement (current cat-alog, p. 4) alongside your editorial. Points (2) and (4) state quite positively and succinctly the pre-vailing emphasis on what it means to be "in Christ." "Individuals en-ter personally into fellowship with More important, it seems to me, the charge seems to be based on a discounting of the warm-hearted concern of the people on this cam-pus, and on a desire to divide and destroy. Do I misread badly at this point? Can we not attack our problems without attacking the people who are so deeply affected? Further, there is an important notion involved that Miss Rusche appears totally impervious to: i.e., the responsibility of 'Bethel as an institution to determine its own character. This does not happen by majority vote once a year; nor are students the only determiners, or, indeed, the prime determiners of this character. Students set the climate of the campus, but the character of the institution is a matter for all the constituencies to have a voice in. This too needs dis-cussion, but discussion that is aimed at understanding and imple-mentation, not at dominance and destruction. Webster Muck Dean of Students God by faith in Jesus Christ and then enjoy communion with Him as born-again children of God." "The reality of the Christian life will be apparent in personalities that show the "fruit of the spirit . . . love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." I have remained at Bethel as a teacher because I have experienced a healthy sense of proportion in the endeavors to "accentuate the positive" while maintaining some minimal standards of personal con-duct for the well-being of the com-munity. I doubt whether most (or any) of my students know that I don't attend movies; I am not shouting that I don't smoke, drink, dance, etc.; I rather hope that I exhibit, however imperfectly, the fruit of the spirit because of the inner reality of God in my life. I invite all who will to grow with me. For every person who knows us for our odd-ball non-conformity, there are many who regularly com-mend 'Bethel students for their sense of propriety, their solid in-tegrity, and their exercise of the Christian graces. Even some of those who regard us as odd-balls are respectful of that in our lives that proceeds from the inner work-ing of God. Bethel is not heaven on earth because it is composed of fallible human beings, but it is great for me to look back over twenty years of personal growth (often sparked by those whom I have taught) here and to reflect upon the many stu-dents whose lives have been changed perceptively because they were open to all the positive in-fluences that are still being brought to produce the life of Christian maturity. While decrying a negativistic ap-proach to the life "in Christ" have you not been too negative in your appraisal of our objectives and of the evident fulfillment of those ob-jectives in the lives of many? Let's talk about it. Dr. Roy Dalton, Department Chairman of History and Political Science To the editor, I am not sure if I should say that your article in the October 2nd issue of the Clarion titled "Minority Recruitment is anti- Bethel" came to me as a shock. I had been quite skeptical about the reactions of some Bethel `Christian' students like you to the Minority Recruitment Program and your article has only vindicated my fears. It is quite interesting to see how you have quickly come out to judge your fellow students—to decide those who, according to you, 'are not portraying the accepted "Bethel image" as handed down by faculty' and to recommend their exit from Bethel. Bethel College has never been an industry for manufacturing holy people and for you to mention the fore-warning of the minority students of the "ex-isting campus condition" is utter nonsense. Any law-abiding student who can live in peace and harmony with people in his home and neigh-borhood and who has the love of Christ in him should indeed find Bethel a home-like institution. I am convinced that if all students were fore-warned that Bethel be-longed only to a people of a par-ticular social class and that every one coming here should consider himself or herself as a monk or nun in training, many students would not be here today. From your concern about "black students who are receiving much from Bethel' you are evidently dis-gruntled about the well-meaning efforts of the administration to stop Bethel from being a white ghetto. For someone of your intel-lectual caliber to be blind to the social impasse that faces the Unit-ed States today is only astonishing. I am not about to laud the Ad-missions Office for bringing in students through irregular chan-nels, neither am I about to say that any unjustified rebellions should be condoned at Bethel. I do strongly believe however that "this sacred institution" is the wrong place for any one to sew seeds of discord. In situations like this, Mr. Doug Warring, I dare say that unneces-sary noises from quarters like yours only do more harm than good. This is because the task of the administration in insuring an atmosphere conducive to the hap-py stay of every student is further made more complex. As every day goes by, the pros-pects for the realization of world peace becomes more and more bleak. The indiscriminate rhetoric of unscrupulous and over-zealous religious fanatics has contributed in no small way to this colossal unhappiness and I believe the times now call for a very cautious use of the tongue by those who are indeed Christians at heart. Let us as true Christians, learn to live with our fellow human beings ir-respective of the environment from which they may have come or their creed or color. Above all, let us be accommodative and let our love for our neighbors surpass the love of heathens, "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?" (Matthew 5:46). Gabriel Ofotokun Class of '73 October 5, 1970 To the editor: In the Clarion's recent article on the Christian life style and Bethel's "standard," some rather timely and valid questions are pos-ed that all of us should consider as we evaluate or execute a particu-lar Christian life style. The whole approach to the problem, however, seems steeped in the negativism from which the writer in reality wants to escape. As an initial solu-tion, the "dynamic, positive ele-ments" of the Christian life are suggested, but as the problem is related more specifically to Bethel in general, the solution seems re-duced to a student body discussion of the matter with "understandable and reasonable guidelines" the re-sult. This would only be negativ-ism in some more palatable form. The key to the solution, I feel, lies in carrying out the positive aspect of Christianity with the mature thinking of one who searches the Scriptures for his guidelines. Romans 8 tells us that having the law of the spirit we are free of the law of sin. James, in the first chapter, goes on to call it the per-fect law—the law of liberty. For an individual, such a code for Christian living can be realistic, but where two or more Christian individuals are concerned, respon-sibility, not license, governs our freedom. Christianity need not sti-fle or inhibit any individual, but doing your own thing on a Chris-tian campus is naturally subject to certain limitations. None of us lives to himself. Bethel students may be capable of determining what kinds of lives they want to lead, but they are not always en-titled to live them as such. Paul, in Romans 14, in dealing with per-sonal matters of the conscience makes us painfully aware of our obligation to our brother—whether he be "a friend of Bethel," the ad-ministration, or a struggling Chris-tian. Viewing this responsibility as some sort of coercion gives a dis-torted picture of Christianity in our everyday experience. Sitting in the mdidle of the cam-pus lawn playing poker may cause one brother to stumble or may pro-vide entertainment for another. Knowing that no one consensus of opinion can ever be reached on such matters, it behooves us to take into prayerful consideration "the other guy". The strength of our Christian testimony lies not in the manifesting of the self, but in weakening and in humbling our-selves before Christ and before others.

Al Berg gets into the act ... Girls get 'revenge' on Steve. Friday, October 9, 1970 the CLARION Page 5 Bethel Forum To the editor: All is not well. Bethel College, acting through motives best known only to its administration, has ad-mitted blacks in order to assure all nationalities and races the priv-ilege of learning and maturing un-der Christ. This move, this "re-cruitment" as some have called it, is in step with the times. Blacks have more than proved that their abilities, although differing from individual to individual, are not ex-clusively those of an ace sports player. Just recently have blacks begun receiving comparable educa-tions to those of white in our pub-lic schools. Even now, ghetto schools are last in line for new books, sufficient supplies, and qualified teachers. These environ-mental conditions have posed great difficulty for blacks desir-ing college degrees. Either their credits from high school did not include every required course, thus failing to meet entrance re-quirements, or they were taught in such an inferior manner that upon entering college, blacks have encountered overwhelming compet-ition from whites who have re-ceived on the average a better preparatory education. Bethel has tried to meet these special needs of black students through much deserved and long awaited "preferential treatment," only to be counteracted by a few who have chosen to display their ignorance by writing a letter ap-pearing in the October second is-sue of the Clarion. When an ar-ticle serves no other purpose than to excite polarization among stu-dents, it is time we challenged not only the writers, but also the pub-lishers as to their personal knowl-edge of Christian ethics. Obviously, our needs lie in the ability to communicate, thereby understandnig and interacting in the proper perspective. The injus-tice blacks have faced from white "Christians" for nearly four hun-dred years cannot ever be undone or revenged. It can only be recti-fied by our actions now and in fol-lowing years. May God forgive us even now for our bigotry. Peter A. Varros Class of '74 To the editor: I would like to say, first of all, that I appreciate the opportunity afforded us at Bethel to express our opinions freely through such channels as the Clarion. It can only be meaningful and effective, though, when both sides of an is-sue are expressed. That is where our responsibility as part of the Bethel community comes in—in or-der to relay the most accurate im-age of the feelings on campus we must react and let our positions on policies, campus life, articles in the publications, etc., be known, whether pro or con. This is espe-cially true for the Clarion, since it is probably the major 'sounding board' of opinions on campus to those on the outside. So let's con-tinue to take advantage of this op-portunity with even more regular-ity— students, faculty and adminis-tration alike! I am reacting to the article by Marjorie Rusche, "Christian Life Style and the World . . ." (10/2). I had two basic reactions, one be-ing that of agreement with the at-titude we should have toward the minority students on campus. In short, I would like to say that we should treat them as we would any-one else—if we are not already doing so—and that is as human be-ings in need of fellowship with one nother. Thls I believe, applies to all here at Bethel, regardless of "race, color or creed." We should do our best to befriend as many as possible and let them know we care! Secondly, I am in disagreement with Marjorie's view of Bethel's `legalistic' standards. The adminis-tration "expects" the student to abide by only a few stated regula-tions, which are quite lenient when compared to regulations set forth by many other Christian colleges. As a matter of fact, the catalog only states specifically tobacco, al-coholic beverages and drugs, the use of which we are to totally ab-stain. Even then they state that the student is "only expected to ac-cept" such standards—pp. 4-5 in the new catalog. (I personally am of the opinion, in the light of pre-vious actions taken on the viola-tion of those standards, that the administration really means we are required to abstain, though not stated as such.) But we must then ask ourselves this question: are these and "other forms of conduct not in harmony with the spirit of the college" (spirit should contin-ually be defined) so vital to us that we cannot abstain from them for the short period of time that we attend Bethel? Even if we plan to, or do abstain from such forms of conduct, what difference should it make to us if there are regulations against them? I have found Phil. 3:8 to be very helpful to me when called upon to accept such regula-tions. I personally do not see any-thing wrong with the regulations as they are at the present; but, if you see the need for change, get involved in student senate, and there try to stir up some action, or at least voice your opinion and let the senators and student body respond. It would also be helpful to talk with some of the adminis-tration to find out why such stan-dards are in effect. I feel that there has to be some type of specifically stated sand-ards; after all, what was the in-tent of the Apostle Paul in writ-ing some of his letters? Some of the churches were not living up to Paul's idea of the Christian life style, so he had to set down some standards for them to abide by. Freedom in Christ does not mean complete freedom to do whatever we please (complete absence of all rules and regulations), but in-corporates within itself responsi-bility for the lives of our brothers —fellow human beings. And let's face it, there are some people who want to adopt this Christ-ian life-style, but must be led by the hand, so to speak, until they are strong enough to live it on their own—without a set of rules to follow. For the sake of these, let's be patient (I Cor. 13:4) and allow the present standards to remain as stated, giving them that helping hand that they might need, granting them the chance to strive for what Peter admonish-es in II Peter 1:5-8. Pray about this with me, that the Holy Spirit will manifest within us the right attitudes and beliefs in light of Bethel's standards, accord-ing to our own separate and dis-tinct individual lives. Tom Billigmeier Class of '72 To the editor: I am writing in response to the editorial on Bethel's life style and the letter dealing with minority recruitment. My reactions and arguments are varied. I could go into a discussion of the veracity of some of the statements and quotations in the articles mentioned or I could argue about the weakness of the articles. I guess I'll just show my bias by saying that most of these are pretty obvious. But my concern goes beyond the content of the articles. One of the things I value most about Bethel is the love and unity we have in Christ. He wants us to "love one another," and "be one." John 2:8, John 17:21. We know this oneness does not necessitate sameness. At least, theoretically we know it. Of course, we don't live it completely. But this unity and oneness is some-thing that we must conscientiously work at. We must not try to smooth over differences, establishing a psuedo-unity, which is only a sub-stitute— a conformity. But we must recognize our differences and func-tion together as different parts of Christ's body. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Polarity is fine in chemical bonding, but if you upper classmen remember last spring, it doesn't exactly strengthen the pro-verbial bond of fellowship. Let's not peck away at ourselves just for the sake of sophistication, or critical objectivity or righteous indignation or whatever lofty rea-son we might have. Here is where the Clarion has a heavy responsibility because of the potential it has for controver-sy. It is lethal if we close our eyes to problems. But why create is-sues or force unnecessary points? So I, too, say let's not be nega-tavistic. We need positive aggres-siveness as individuals and as a Christian community. Let's work and love together as a body and maybe at least a few men will know that we are His disciples. John Lundgren Class of '71 Senior Betty Creighton, majoring in English, Secondary Education.

Homecoming candidates Geography prof, Male Chorus member go world-wide Page 6 the CLARION Friday, October 9, 1970 by Peter Varros Do you someimes wander off in-to the land of dreams during geog-raphy class and find yourself tour-ing Europe and the Orient, where you luxuriate in the finest accom-modations, sample international gourmet foods, and rub elbows with the elite as you sip cham-pagne on the French Riviera? Come on now, where's your ro-mantic spirit? How does the chal-lenge of a six thousand mile train ride across the U.S.S.R. appeal to you, or staying with missionaries in remote areas of Hong Kong and the Philippines? Soaring through the air as your glider wings its way among the mountains of Germany? At least two former Bethel stu-dents have such a spirit, as Dan Johnson and Don Nelson can at-test, having made an eighty-eight day tour around the world this past summer. Dan, who teaches a class in ge-ography at Bethel, is well acquain-ted with the fine art of interna-tional travel, having spent the last three summers abroad. Taking ad-vantage of Don's location in Ger-many while on tour with the Beth-el Male Chorus since early June, Dan met him there after visiting relatives in Sweden until the mid-dle of July. Both Dan and Don are licensed pilots, and spent the greater part of two days acquaint-ing themselves with Germany's skies by piloting gliders, a light, motorless plane which makes use of air currents. As they went on to spend two days in Prague, Czechoslovakia, time was similarly spent at an easy pace without any structured plans, getting their greatest enjoyment from colorful people and places. Along the route from Prague to Warsaw, Poland, and to Moscow, Dan and Don stayed in youth hos-tels, which are inexpensive, dorm-like housing. In Moscow, they combed the city by foot, and dur-ing their five-day stay, attended church service at the Moscow Bap-tist Church. Dan says he and Don were the youngest present, the congregation consisting mainly of elderly women. However, the hymns sung were Russian transla-tions of American favorites sung in most Protestant churches. Perhaps the most outstanding portion of Dan and Don's travels was the seven-day train ride on the Trans-Siberia Railways from Moscow to Vladivostock, Siberia. Dan and Don felt accustomed to the area, since Siberian vegetation and scenery resemble parts of Minnesota, and some might go as far as to say the two are alike climatically, at least during the winter months! After a three-week stay in and around Moscow and Vladivostock, a two-day boat ride almost magic-ally transported Dan and Don to another world, that of Osaka, Jap-an, and Expo '70, the most talked about and exciting international exposition in either Western or Eastern history. Five days were spent almost exclusively at the Expo. While in Osaka, they were the guests of Sarah Reasoner, a Bethel student home for the sum-mer, and her parents, who are missionaries to Japan. The next stop was Tokyo, where they spent four days at a mission post in the mountains. The city of Tokyo it-self is a massive industrial tangle with pollution far worse than any of our American cities. The most glamorous means of transportation either Dan or Don used during the summer was a Boeing 747 superjet from Tokyo to Hong Kong, where another four days were filled by trips to the border along Red China. Dan also did some shopping in the busy commercial seaport, and am-ong his bargains was a camera at one-third the cost in the U.S. Don Nelson and his parents had been missionaries stationed on the island of Cebu in the Philpipines for eleven years. His family left six years ago, so it was almost ob-ligatory that he and Dan head there before returning to the states. They flew out to the islands and received a warm reception from our conference missionaries on Cebu, where they stayed for two weeks. Don was the first to re-turn home, leaving Manila for Min-neapolis after three months of travel. He will be an aviator for the U.S. Navy beginning next Feb-ruary. Dan spent two beautiful days in Hawaii before flying to San Francisco to see his brother and sister-in-law and their new baby. He flew out to Minneapolis the same day classes began. During his travels, Dan kept a journal from which he flavors his lectures with personal experiences and slides taken "on location." He anticipates leading an African sa-fari in the summer of '71. If the experience of traveling the world over is not fantastic enough in itself perhaps those of us who are slightly blase' will be interested to know that because of Dan's profession i.e., teaching ge-ography, the entire summer's ex-penses are tax deductible! But whether your travels are deducti-ble or not, Dan advises that "the best time to travel is right now. Your college years are the most free, and student rates are the cheapest." Did someone say Bethel students don't get out in the world? MS WALKING Ma tuNeAl HEARP tio5r SAY, 1WAS EXPECTIN6 50MEIHIN6 UMIS1141.,por 11115 )4116stON cettAmiLY usc SAO c KER.. WHAT EV(L Lu RKS iro THe SHADOW 111 r DOOR Friday, October 9, 1970 the CLARION Page 7 Big-little Sis banquet cancellation now explained by Wendell Wahlin Want something that will really bring your beads to a bud? Then try stepping into Judy's and Lois's shoes two nights before a Dayton's deadline. A minimum of three hun-dred twenty-five reservations are needed and only twenty-five have been purchased. At stake are many long hours of work and weeks of planning. What would you have done? Why, naturally, you would have gone around to the dorms and contacted as many as possible just as Judy and Lois did, right? Right. And just as natu-rally you would have sold only eighty more tickets, right? That's quite a predicament to get into and an even tougher one to get out of. As co-chairwomen of the Big-Little Sis Banquet this year, Judy Olsen and Lois Rahn expressed disappointment that the feature, the Banquet, had to be cancelled. They gave several reasons. One was the obligation to the deadline given them by Dayton's. It's ex-tremely difficult to finalize a $1,000 transaction when only $350 of that amount can be accounted for. A second reason, related to the first, was the item of cost. Al-though designed to be a Dutch-treat affair, many can still be counted as dissenting because of the $3.50 per ticket price. A third reason may be a degree of apathy and disinterest exhibited by both big and little sis's alike. There are influences and under-lying reasons, however, which may have greatly induced such atti-tudes. The purpose of the B.L.S. program is to give new girls a helping hand in the first days of getting settled and adjusted to col-lege routine. Simply, it's great to have someone around that's inter-ested and cares about you. This is what B.L.S. is all about. This objective is tough to accom-plish, however, when we have a divided campus, all frosh on, all upper-class off (except for R.A.'s and D.C. members in the dorms). Miss Mom's baking!

At least on our present better, but for here and now, we've campus? got real problems! As for the size As for myself, I personally view of the freshman class (largest ever the entire B.L.S. program as being at Bethel), Judy and Lois said, "We a failure and not worthy of con-thought we would never find tinuance. Of course, I am a bit bi-enough big sis's, in fact, we ran out ased in my views because the past and had to ask girls to take a little three years I have repeatedly been sis even though they didn't even refused either a big or a little sis sign up for one!" . . . and I'm not particular, either Though the Banquet falling would have been fine! fillobir ebieiv "Patton" is a portrait of the man by Dave Greener A large American flag covers the screen. In fact, we see nothing but a large American flag. Then appears Patton, dressed in full and impressive officer regalia, decoration upon decoration upon his chest. The World War II general speaks directly to us, very much in the manner of a football coach: Americans like a fight, he says; the Saturday Evening Post is of course errant in its pleas for isolation. Americans like a winner, he tells us— the "best marble shooters, the fastest runners, and big league ball players" are the ones revered. (Individualism, however, is to be dis-counted.) We are exhorted in this pep talk to murder Huns and even (figur-atively, apparently) mutilate them. (You won't turn chicken in battle— you'll be more willing to fight when you look down on what had once been your best friend.) The motion picture "Patton" is a wartime chronicle of Patton, the man. It also is an authentic—you were there—glimpse into certain hap-penings of World War II. And so we follow Patton and his men and tanks in North Africa and Europe. We see Patton, the strategist and military historian—he reads Caesar; in one battle he has read Rommel's own book on tactics and knows what to expect from Rommel's men. We see Patton, the be-liever in reincarnation—he was there, he says, when Rome fought Carthage; he was at other places in the past as well. We view Patton, the military leader—the somewhat splendid strate-gist who loves to lead troops in battle; the "magnificent anachronism" as one German calls him who would have performed equally well at the head of one of Caesar's legions (the same German suggests Patton belongs more to the Sixteenth than the Twentieth Century; because warfare is now "modern," Patton wistfully agrees—"God, how I hate the Twentieth century."). We also see Patton, the man who reads the Bible and prays to God yet swears like a "stable boy." We see Patton, the rebel—he once stretches orders so that he can advance further. Here and elsewhere his drive is versus such things as the political necessities of keeping harmony with British and Russian allies. (Ultimately, his desire to keep pushing and his spoken contempt for the Russians help cost him his particular field command.) We also see Patton, the egotist (his pistols have ivory, not pearl handles, thank you) and the seeker of fame. Perhaps he bases much of this search on a sense of his own destiny; also, he may have a sense of mission that expresses itself in anti-Fascist and anti-Bolshevik feelings. Nevertheless, he is a prima donna and he admits it. He is an effective fighter and he drives his men and commanders hard and they be-come an effective fighting unit. But, tragically, they are sometimes used for Patton's own ends. True, other generals and officers may do this also. They too have goals, hopes and fears (such as fame, promotion or the threat of demotion). Officers perhaps usually think of their men as numbers to be manipulated. And it may be that a costly but quick victory is better than a long but less costly one. But in my opinion, it can sometimes be a tragedy when men are manipulated for one man's interests. And with Patton it happens at least once. To die for one's country is one thing. And it's also another thing as in the Bible, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (Jn. 15:13) But (and especially if I was there because I was stuck there) I would really feel cheated if I died so that George Patton could beat General Montgomery to Messina. The acting in "Patton" is good (incidentally, George Scott plays the title role). The Patton biography apparently suffers little "Hollywood-ization." The presented panorama of the war itself, with possible minor ex-ception, is very authentic. While the film may not contain many if any "great truths," it is a painless, non-booking way (in the comfort of a theater) to be an eyewitness to the past . . . and to see a portrait of one man who played a role in it. by Harold C. I see little difference between the material possessions of "the world" and that of "the General Baptist Christian." Jesus said to his deciples, "I tell you this: a rich man will find it hard to enter the kingdom of heaven. I repeat, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the knigdom of God .. . "Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where it grows rusty and moth eaten, and theives break in to steal it. Store up treasure in heaven, where there is no moth and no rust to spoil it, no thieves to break in and steal. No servant can be the slave of two masters; for either he will hate the first and love the second or he will be devoted to the first and think nothing of the second. You cannot serve God and Money. John the Baptist taught this in Matthew— "He who has two coats, let him share with him that has none and he who as food, let him do likewise." What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul —ah but to gain the whole world and save your soul . . . theologically it can be done—but in the spirit of Jesus' love, how can a Christian waste money on "things" when there are hungry people across town? They don't have to live by you—You Know They Are There. Most of you students are probably thinking—I don't have any money, what's he writing this for—Well, I'll tell you—you are going to college and when you leave here you will have a piece of paper that is called a degree. This degree enables you to make lots of dollars. You then can buy a 1971 Pontiac—with tape player and chrome wheels. This will greatly impress the girls and everyone else. Next you can buy a $20,000 home and a cabin with a speedboat (if at all possible) and then a and then a and then a and then a Why don't you reread the beginning of this article to see what Jesus taught about "materialism." Then live by it—if He means anything to you. It doesn't take a Cadillac to win a Cadillac—because when the new Cadillac Christian finds out what Jesus taught .. . / Art department features Chappelle exhibition `old lady' glazes. His works have a very bright luster because of the use of golds, shiny reds, and bright orange glazes. Jerry's ideas of cer-amics are very different from the conventional concept of pottery held here in the Midwest. His works are in the 'pop arts' imagery. His goal is to show what clay can be used to say above the functional aspect. Mr. Chappelle's lithographs cov-er many topics. Recurring objects include stars, bombs, guns, and faces. It seems that some of the lithographs have social comment but as Mr. Luckman was quick to point out these are not really a so-cial comment, it's just that "these are the things that Mr. Chappelle likes to draw." The closest thing to social comment is the ceramic piece labeled, "The Pill." I won't tell you why, you'll have to find out for yourself. I asked Mr. Luckman the reason for the show being on Bethel cam-pus. He replied that it was to "ex-pose the campus to a new three dimensional vocabulary by a novel use of clay and glazes in nonfunc-tional forms. It will also let art stu-dents see new avenues of explora-tion in the field of ceramics. If you want to see something different the field of ceramics or even if you're just curious come down to the Art Department and view this show." the Amazing Adventures of T. T. Trend by Sam Griffith You probably don't know it but there is an art show going on right now in the Bethel Art Department. The Show will run through Octo-ber 23 and is by an outside artist named Jerry Chappelle. Mr. Chap-pelle is a friend of our very own Stu Luckman. They were class-mates back who knows when. Any-way, Jerry Chappelle is married and has three children and is pres-ently at the University of Georgia. Mr. Chappelle's show consists of lithographs and some "funky cer-amic stuff." He makes three dim-ensional clay 'things' that are non-functional, in other words they don't hold water or flowers. Also, he uses what Mr. Luckman called Dean Lindberg The Hot Corner By Rich Zaderaka Most of the people who don't like the cracks I've been taking at Min-nesota probably watch the games on television and never go out to the stadium.

Bill Rigney said that if Baltimore could handle the Twins like that they certainly can handle the National League Champion. Ha! That's say-ing that if you can eat half a cream puff—you can down 8 tamales at Moma Rosa's. Baltimore has to be the favorite but they sure won't blitz the Reds like they did the Twins.

This afternoon the team played a first round game in the Platte-ville Soccer Tournament against Purdue University of Calumet. Pending the outcome of that game, Bethel will play against either Platteville or Knox College tomor-row. Next Wednesday the Royals will be challenged again by Concordia of St. Paul.

Royal PI wins, clout cons 25-0 by Rich Zaderaka The Bethel Junior Varsity squad defeated Stillwater Prison last Fri-day by the score of 25-0. Naturally it was a home game for the prison team. None of the Stillwater backs was able to break away for a long run; not long enough anyway. The Royal defense and the guards in the pressbox saw to that. Bethel's first score came on an end run by Dan Blomquist. The Royals scored again just before the end of the first half on a pass from Bill Catto to Bill Bragg. A pass from Mark Lindgren to Bill Bragg provided the third score. A short plunge by Emery Lindgren closed out the offensive splurge. Outstanding defense was played by Jack Auffant, who also played offensive center, Mark Howard and Dave Howard, who both had inter-ceptions, and by Ralph Gustarson, who had a fumble recoverey. Tomorrow the varsity tackles Concordia of St. Paul. The Comets have had a very successful season so far with a record of 3-1. Bethel will have to be in top form to win.
