!; Figures released
on enrollment
Vol.XLVI—No. 5 Bethe l Co llege, St. Paul, Minnesota
by Toni Magnuson
U. The largest freshman class, num-bering
434, has raised Bethel's to-tal
enrollment to 1104 this year,
making it the largest in the
school's history, said registrar Dr.
Paul Finlay.
With an increase of 134 stu-dents
over last year, the adminis-trative
offices report that Bethel
has just about reached its limit in
regard to facilities, classroom
space and class scheduling.
The student services office said
that housing was their biggest
problem this year due to increased
number of students. With so many
new incoming freshmen, the three
on-campus dorms were immediate-ly
filled even to 15 over capacity
in the case of Bodien. This has
meant a move off-campus for all
upper classmen with the exception
of R.A.'s and dorm council mem-bers
said Miss Marilyn Starr, Dean
of Women. The manors and Arden
Hills residence couldn't facilitate
all the students, she said, resulting
in 44 students being housed at
Centennial Gardens and more men
going into the community than
ever before. But, according to
the student services office, all
students have now been housed for
this school year.
Increased enrollment also brought
with it scheduling problems parti-cularly
for freshmen, said indi-viduals
from the registrar's office.
Many freshmen found that there
wasn't enough course selection.
"By the time I went to register,"
said one freshman girl, "all but
two of the courses I wanted were
filled, and I finally ended up tak-ing
only 12 credits this semester."
Dr. Finlay said that while some
freshmen couldn't be scheduled
for the classes they wanted, they
did get into those needed to meet
graduation requirements. "We also
recommend," he said, "that fresh-men
take only 12 credits their first
semester to help them in adjusting
to college life. And with the In-terim,
students will still come out
with 30 credits by the end of the
year."
To help alleviate some of the
scheduling problems, four new
sections were added in literary
analysis, western civ., and physical
education, as well as increasing
class size. This too presented prob-lems,
mentioned Dr. Finlay, as
rooms are more crowded than
they would like them to be.
When asked why more students
were accepted this year in light
of the limited facilities, Dr. Fin-lay
replied that Bethel is faced
with rising costs and increased
enrollment tends to offset these
costs. He added that the number
of applications was approximately
20-25% over that of previous years
due to Bethel's new recruitment,
also affecting the enrollment.
According to Mr. Jim Bragg,
Director of Admissions, the ad-missions
office accepted students
based on a total figure which they
and the administration determined
that Bethel could handle. While
almost the exact number of stu-dents
were accepted, Dr. Finlay
said that a larger percentage of
freshmen actually registered than
have in years before, thus making
the number of students larger
than anticipated.
Mr. Bragg said that this year's
freshman class was unique in its
high class rank and SAT results.
On the whole, math scores were
more than 20 points over last
year's scores. Also unique are the
results of recruitment in special
areas, which the admissions office
said were much better than be-fore.
Mr. Bragg mentioned that
33 new football players were re-cruited,
there are some new peo-ple
excelling in music, the number
of minority students is up, and
a total of 12 well-prepared, top
quality international students are
new on campus.
Concerning enrollment, M r .
Bragg said that one of the biggest
problems for admissions and re-tention
of students was lack of
financial aid. Although the num-ber
of returning students stayed
approximately the same, he said
that we could have had at least
another 150 returning students
had there been more financial
ai d.
Total registered students are
434 freshmen, 263 sophomores,
190 juniors, 192 seniors, 20 un-classified,
and five graduate stu-dents.
Of the total 1104 students,
616 are females, and 488 males.
Students expelled;
disciplinary process
restated
Last week two students were ask-ed
to leave college due to discip-linary
problems. According to the
Dean of Students office, one of
the students supplied marijuana
to the other, who smoked it.
The two students were dismiss
sed by Webster Muck, Dean of Stu-dents.
As a matter of procedure,
discipline cases are to be referred
to the student-faculty Disciplinary
Committee. Student members serv-ing
on the committee are Joyce
Carpenter, Rob Grabenkort, Mar-gie
Sorley. Faculty members are
Gerrold Healy, chairman, Lillian
Ryberg, and Dr. Robert Stein. If
the student does not want the
Disciplinary Committee to decide
his case, he can make a written
request that the Dean of Students
office consider it.
If the student does not agree
with the decision, the decision can
be appealed to the Student Person-nel
Committee and then to the
President of the college.

Each candidate for Homecom-ing
Queen was a queen in her own
way, but only one could actually
win the title. Betty Creighton, a
senior from Sioux Falls, South Dak-ota,
was crowned as Bethel Home-coming
Queen at the Seminary
Complex last night.
Betty is an English major in-terested
in going into secondary
education. After she graduates
in June, she plans on going to
Augustana College in Sioux Falls
(her home town), to do her stu-for
the Fall of 1971. After that?
"I plan either teaching or possibly
writing for publication."
Since coming to Bethel in 1967,
Betty has been involved in a var-iety
of things ranging from tumb-ling
to being a part of the College
Choir. TThis year she is the Hag-strom
Dorm President and spends
any other extra time with her Gos-pel
team assignments.
Homecoming this year promises
to be an exciting week-end with
Guerilla Theatre performances at
7 and 9 tonight, a pepp-fest and
sky-dive scheduled for 9 Satur-day
morning in the middle of the
campus, a soccer game at 10, a
cross country meet at 11 and then
the football game against Eureka
at 1:30. Following the game, a
Homecoming smorgasbord will be-gin
at 4:45 and later in the even-ing,
8 (to be exact) will be a Folk
Art program in the fieldhouse.
While Mr. Terrel was in Berke-ley,
not everything that was hoped
for happened. But that which did
happen was a God sent surprise.
Mr. Terrel will recount the ex-
I bet you're just sitting on the
edge of your chair wondering what
"The Hound of Everyman" is all
about. In a word ... it's a play. But
in reality it is not just a play. It
is the culmination ... Ah, let me
start at the beginning.
At the end of last semester Steve
Terrel, assistant professor of
speech, left the hallowed halls of
Bethel embarked upon a new ad-venture
to the wild and wooly west
coast, more specifically Berkeley,
where the Radicals and Hippies
roam. He had an idea that some
how drama could be used to reach
the youth culture for Christ. At
Berkeley he teamed up with a
Christian group, the Christian
World Liberation Front. The
CWLF is a group of people dedi-cated
to the belief that Christ and
only Christ is the hope of the
world today.
by Bob Miko periences of what happened to-night
with slides.
Anyway back to "the Hound" ...
After trying unsuccessfully to re-write
other scripts for something
that could be used with the "hips",
Steve and members of CWLF sat
down and wrote a script. That
script is "The Hound." Due to the
short time that Mr. Terrel had in
Berkeley, the play could not be
put on.
The whole concept behind guer-rilla
theater is it's mobility and
acceptability by the people. With
media, both sides of an argument
can be presented, where as in per-son
to person witnessing you cal
easily get side tracked. After the
presentation, person to person con-tact
is inevitable. Where ever peo-ple
gather, parks, recreation areas,
beaches, the claims of Christ can
be presented, without being offen-sive
or derogatory.
If you miss tonight, you will miss
one of the best attempts to reach
our generation for Christ. So to
help you make, we're putting on
Two big shows. One at 7:00 p.m.

When asked Betty's comments
about Homecoming, she replied,
"The Homecoming Committee, un-der
chairman Tom Molin, has done
much preparation. I hope a good
maority of everyone at Bethel
will support all the activities the
committee has organized. It really
could and will be a real enoyable
week-end."

Faith without works ...
Relocation project smacks
of insincerity and doubt
by Dave Healy
"Faith without works is dead." I think that's found in the Bible
someplace. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you Bethel people maintain that
the Scriptures are inspired. In other words, you believe, theoretically,
anyway, that the words I have quoted above are God's words, or at least
inspired by Him.
What, then, must God think of your campus relocation efforts,
which have supposedly been fraught with faith from the beginning?
What "works" does He see? I can't speak for God, of course, but I
haven't seen much.
True, you have committed yourselves to a move. You have obtained
Conference approval, purchased land, and accepted money for the
expressed purpose of erecting a new campus. Yes, the seminary phase
of your program is completed. You have even put up part of one college
dorm.
It's also true, however, that you have repeatedly postponed the Ella.
date for complete relocation, that you are presently in a period of stag-nation,
that you have planned and prayed cautiously, and that talk has
replaced action.
It is understandably difficult for your Conference constituency and
other money contributors to get excited about a "venture of faith"
in which even the people most directly involved exhibit almost no
trust at all. I would even venture to guess, with no sacrilege intended
that God Himself finds it difficult to get excited about your undertaking.
Why? Because you have continually talked about your faith without
putting it to the test. You have been so careful not to overextend
yourselves, so careful not to expect too much of God, that your whole
relocation project smacks of insincerity and doubt. You have said "God,
we believe You are in this, but let's be careful."
What, you're undoubtedly asking by now, do I want to see? What
works do I suggest? Some drastic ones. Get out to that new campus now,
not with those half-way measures proposed by your faculty, but with the
original plans. Scrape together what money you can and start building.
If possible, sell your old campus and then lease it from the new owner
for a year. Do whatever is feasible, and then trust God. Tell Him: "We're
doing everything we can. Now you do the rest."
You'll need more than just a few individuals with faith like that.
It will have to be a corporate effort. But if you're not prepared to do
something extreme, then forget the whole thing. Sell your new campus,
put the seminary somewhere else, and look forward to the next 100
years on your present property.
It could be that God is just waiting for some evidence of Betherz
faith. And if you convince Him that you mean business, I think your
financial supporters will be convinced too.
Faith without works. It seems to me there's something else in the
Bible, something about asking. "Ask and it shall be given unto you,"
I think it goes.
Huffalump's Fables
by Huffalump
Clippidy Dippidy Dop. Here be I, the happy Huffalump.
It came to me in a flash, through the or apple dropping on head
technique.
Let me tell you a secret. Before the bullfight, the bulls and matadors
are in the same pen, talking to each other and laughing at the same
jokes.
Now some people might draw a conclusion from that fact to say
that the bullfight was riggged. And it is. Expert matadors fight the
bull independently and get gored.
Sometimes the only way to affirm life is to fight death. Death is
merciless in its tactics and scary to oppose, because it likes to make
you believe that it wins all the time. (You can't fight city hall.).
Corruption by any other name would smell as soar.
But I, being a Huffalump, am not afraid. I court death and thrill
the fans. "Bravo," they cheer. "Look at the brave matador," they
cry out.
Knowing how cowardly matadors are, I just chuckle to myself and
keep on feeding my fellow Huffalumps.
Matadors die, but Huffalumps don't.

Christians are the salt
that saves the meat
by Bob Miko
Once again that question that tends to disrupt college campuses
around the nation is being asked at Bethel. Where ever you find this
question, you find division. The question, it's simple enough ARE
YOU FOR OR AGAINST THE WAR? This question has successfully
divided more Christians than just about any question being asked today.
Why is it that the example of unity is so disrupted? Are we one in the
Spirit but two in reality?
I believe the answer can be found in re-examining the question.
Could we as Christians, when answering this question, be forced into
division because of some non-Christian presuppositions? I think so.
What are the presuppositions of the questions? One is that war can
be either good or bad, another is that you can do something about your
answer directly.
Can we, as Christians, accept these presuppositions? Based on the
Word of God, I think not! Allow me this "parable".
The world is liken unto an excellent piece of meat that the Master
had in His house. One day one of the servants, against the Master's will,
exposed the meat to the Air. The Master returned and cast the servant
out. The meat, because of the Air, began to rot and spoil. The Master
not wishing the meat to rot added Salt. But the Salt soon lost its salt-iness
and the meat rotted away.
From this we see that the natural reaction when meat is exposed
to air is that it spoils. The meat has no choice in the matter. So it is
when the world is exposed to sin. The rot in this case is war. We are
the salt in the meat. We know that to fight off the rot (war) we first
have to stop exposing it to air (sin). And there is but one way to fight
sin. The cross of Jesus Christ and his resurrection. He overcame the world
so that we might proclaim it!
So since we battle "not with flesh and blood" let us not fight with
what the world gives us but with what our Father in heaven has given us!
This editorial is based on the following scriptures: James Chapter
4: 1-2; Galations 5: 19-23; Ephesians 6: 10-18; Luke 14: 34-35; Matthew
5:13.

Centennial year
festivities begin
As everything great has a be-ginning,
Bethel College, too, has
continued in such a tradition.
Founded as a very small Bible
Seminary by Swedish immigrants
on October 8, 1871, Bethel grew
from its Chicago setting and has
evolved into the Christian liberal
arts college that it is today.
This school year, marking the
one-hundredth consecutive year
of academic leadership, will focus
on Homecoming week-end as the
inauguration of the Centennial
Year festivities. The opening cere-monies
of the year will be in the
form of an Affirmation Rally to
be held at three o'clock Sunday
afternoon in the Seminary Chapel
at the Arden Hills campus.
The service Sunday is to be
one of affirmation and dedication,
stressing the three objectives
which have been established for
the centennial Year 1970-1971.
They are: to celebrate a century
of God's blessing upon Bethel's
educational mission and to re-joice
together over His faithful-ness;
to dramatize the distinctive
elements in Bethel's heritage that
have significance for the future;
to dedicate the school to God's
continued service for the chang-ing
world with which the new cen-tury
begins.
Sunday, October 18, has also
been proclaimed as the day of
"Operation Saturation" here in
the Twin-Cities area. Representa-tives
of Bethel (professors and
administrative personnel) will be
visiting each Conference Baptist
Church and talking about the role
Bethel is helping to play in Christ-ian
higher education today.
For other Conference and Bethel
affiliated churches, bulletin inserts
have been sent to proclaim Oct-ober
18 as "Bethel Sunday".

The 'Other-side' speaks out!
by Betty Creighton
Do you know what his students
asked Plato less than 3 hours after
he opened his academy? You gues-sed
it — "When do we eat?!" Most
of us on Bethel's campus have that
one figured out; our question
seems to be "what do we eat?"
Having worked on the "other side"
of the counter during the delight-ful
hours of 6 and 9 a.m. (when
everyone portrays his brightest,
cheeriest self), I feel a unique
responsibility to present some of
the thoughts and suggestions of
that dear staff who literally "run
their tails off' to keep us "poor
starving children" from collapsing
of hunger.
Some background information
may be interesting at this point'
Bethel's own little kitchen was or-iginally
prepared to feed — get
this — 80 people. Since that time
we have slightly more than doub-led
it. Because the seating capacity
totals less than 200 in the cafeteria
proper, this means turning over
a new group of hungry tummies
3 times each meal in only two
hours' time. Very few, if any rest-aurants
have such a booming busi-ness
these days. Consequently, be-cause
of less-than-ideal prepara-tion
facilities, the cooks are limit-ed
in the amounts of foods that
can be held to keep up with the
line. Although the staff tries to
keep production ahead of the line,
that first big rush of approximate-ly
100 people occasionally causes
a standstill; once behind, it is
impossible to catch up until the
line quits. To hire more people,
cannot be the solution, because
there is no place in the kitchen
to put them.
Wayne Erickson, the chef, stres-sed
that "the only way we can
satisfy all the different tastes is
to have all students tell us what
they like — we love to please."
He mentioned several things that
would really help the staff serve
us more efficiently:
1) Give any and all comments
to the Senate food service com-mittee,
composed of Dave Pelto
(P.O. 743), Mark Anderson, chair-man
(P.O. 1085), Mary Justice (P.O.
1208), and Bonnie Skoog (P.O. 361).
These students will represent us in
the meetings held with the food
service staff.
2) Because the dishroom is de-signed
to take care of only about
400 adequately, and is presently
serving 600, it woulld help our
hard-working dishwashers if stu-dents
would please stack trays by
at least twos or threes according
to:
a) Paper and bones in baskets
b) Silverware on the sight
c) Glasses on the left
d) Plates, cups, bowls, etc. in the
center.
3) Decorating the dining hall
for the bi-monthly smorgasbords
does take time. "Many hands make
light work," is appropriate in this
case; anyone is welcome to help
decorate for these special dinners.
(Note: Homecoming Smorgasbord
is Saturday night ... fantail shrimp
are the delicacy.)
"We're hams at heart down here;
we love to do things specially for
the students." said Wayne. "Al-though
it takes time to decorate
the foods, we try to have the buf-fets
as nice as any hotel in which
you may dine."
Wayne and Mrs. Johnson, caf-eteria
manager, welcome any stu-dent
to sit down over a cup of
coffee (or tea, as it may be) and
discuss with them ideas for better
food service at Bethel.
What do we eat? Through kind,
constructive comments — it's up
to you!

Arnold Wicklund will never get
rich serving as Bethel's Adminis-trative
Assistant to the President.
His salary is one dollar per year.
How does he manage it? He took
early retirement from his position
as Senior Vice President of Buck-bee
Mears Co. in order to do
"something different and exciting."
And apparently he's enjoying it,
for he finds Bethel "a most inter-esting
place to be employed. I am
most impressed with the quality
and dedication of the entire fac-ulty
and staff. After 40 years in
the business world, it is a refresh-ing
experience to be associated
with such a great group of Christ-ian
people.
"It is a real blessing to me to be
on campus with a thousand fine
young people. I will never be able
to remember all the names and
faces, but as I visit in the coffee
shop, and in the halls, I hope to
get acquainted with many of them.
The chapel experiences are also a
highlight experience for me."
Although Wicklund has no vot-ing
power in any administrative
setting, he often serves in an ad-visory
position. He carries a great
many additional responsibilities,
as well, facilitating the admin-istrative
process and procedures
that encumber the President's
office. This includes the assembly
of Board report materials, the
implementation of daily procedural
matters involving the President's
office, and serving in the Adminis-trative
Council as Secretary.
The Board of Regents created
this post in an effort to relieve the
seats
President of the intolerable load
of administrative detail. It was
initiated several years ago.
When asked why he chose to ac-cept
this position, Wicklund re-plied,
"I have been interested in
Bethel since graduating from Beth-el
Academy in 1925. I have served
for over twenty years on the
Board of Regents. Serving at Beth-el
presents an opportunity to be
involved in something that will
outlast me. The privilege of work-ing
in such an environment as
this is a real answer to prayer."
Wicklund's office is located in
the old President's conference
room, next to the President's sec-retary.
To which he adds, "Come
and see me sometime."

What would you guess to be
the greatest single challenge Be-thel
College faces in respect to
its student body? No, it's not bus-sing
us to and from home games,
nor is it coming up with clean linen
each week, although both of these
particular events are minor mir-acles
in themselves.
As head of the Christian Service
Office, Dave Stewart has the chal-lenge
of harnessing the great spir-itual
potential of willing Bethel
students into the contemporary
Christian social work and coord-inating
this great mass of avail-ability
to the requests coming into
his office from civic and religious
organizations throughout t h e
Twin-Cities area. In his work, Dave
sets up Christian service teams
including a wide variety of sing-ing
and instrumental groups tailor-ed
to suit any occasion from a Sun-day
morning church service to
some Friday evening coffee house.
Dave considers involvement in
off campus work of prime import-ance,
and has great opportunities
to place Bethel students in strat-egic
social positions. Many kids are
giving a few hours each week
teaching Sunday School, leading
youth groups, and playing piano
or organ in church services.
Others are involved with the
Ober Boy's Club, a Union Gospel
Mission run organization where
boys from the local black neighbor-hoods
can come for two hours dur-ing
one evening each week and en-joy
swimming, crafts, and games
under the supervision of college
students. There is a need for some
more neighborhood Bible clubs
in this area. One in the Nebraska-
Arona vicinity meets Wednesday
afternoons for forty five to sixty
minutes. The kids hear stories, sing,
and have some refreshments too.
Still in its formulative stage is
the One to One Program operating
in centers throughout St. Paul:
The program varies from center
to center, but generally provides
tutoring for students who are
having difficulty with school work.
At the Central Baptist Church, a
two hour weekly program includes
one hour on homework, and the
other in crafts, pool, and pingpong.
In the black community, the St.
Paul Lutheran Church and the
Lutheran Church of the Reforma-tion
provide centers for tutoring.
Dave needs guys and gals for this
work in the afternoons for an
hour or two. Monthly programs
are given in local rest homes where
Bethel Students lead in song, pro-vide
special music, give testimony,
and visit from room to room. Some
work is also done with the Salva-tion
Army, a group which really
"grooves" on the trumpet, accord-ing
to Dave.
Great plans are underway for
the 1971 Operation Sunshine, a
Campus Crusade program of wit-nessing
on the beaches of Florida
during the annual Easter Weekend
pilgrimage to Daytona Beach and
Fort Lauderdale. The program has
been a great success in the paw;
two years. Twenty-five hundred
kids made decisions out of the
one hundred thousand combined
attendance at the rallies of last
April. Easter Sunday night, a folk-rock
group called the Armagedon
performed before an audience of
eight thousand in the band shell
on Daytona Beach. Although their
music was primarily secular, dur-ing
the performance, tesimony was
given by individual members of
the group, and the concert was
concluded a la Ralph Carmichael,
creating an atmosphere ripe for
counselling. Campus Crusade also
works with Young Life Clubs in
many high schools, and a ski trip
to Colorado is being planned in
December for teenagers in these
clubs.
Dave Stewart is under thirty,
can be trusted, and would like
very much to meet you whether
you're a spiritual giant, a member
of Bedside Baptist, or somewhere
in between. Whatever your abil-ities,
the greatest contribution
you as a Christian can make in a
lifetime is extending a loving hand
to your brother and sister in need.

the Macalester faculty and the
college's International Center,
evolved from the Cambodian crisis
last May, when the faculty voted
to develop a forum for the aca-demic
community to express ideas
for resolving the war in Southeast
Asia. Plans grew during the sum-mer
to include the Middle East
and the whole spectrum of U.S.
foreign policy. At faculty mem-ber's
homes after the last panel
discussion, students and profes-sors
will work toward a statement
of Macalester's role and that of
colleges in general in the formu-lation
of foreign policy.

This year there will be a
Coeval, thanks to the earnest con-cern
and efforts of students Doug
Erickson, Dave Heikkila, and
Asst. Professor of English Jon Fag-erson.
Last year the Coeval was pub-lished
by a sole individual who
wrote most of the pieces in it. The
Senate then voted last spring to
abolish funds which originally tot-aled
$1,300. Going against such
odds, the three above mentioned'
individuals have set about, on
what Doug Erickson has called
a "shoe string budget" to bring
to the campus its sole literary
publication. The Senate may in
time allot funds for the venture,
but for now Dave, Doug, and Mr.
Fagerson are relying upon their
own resources. Dave is supplying
the paper for the first issue and
charge of the printing. Due to
lack of immediate funds, only
350 to 450 copies will be distrib-uted.
It is hoped though, that all
on campus will have an opportun-ity
to read the first Coeval.
Doug Erickson described the
basic approach of the first issue,
saying it will be in booklet form
and contain as much as is sub-mitted
and publishable. They are
asking for any creative written
material from the students, and
continued from page 1
that were dismissed last week,
neither of them had made a request
that the Dean of Students office
handle their case. However, since
marijuana was involved, Dean
Muck handled the situation pri-are
hopeful of receiving highly
original work. The number al-ready
submitted indicates that
there is at the present time a
good degree of interest.
Students may be wondering
what the procedure will be for
getting their work published. As
Doug described it, after all the
pieces have been submitted, those
people along with Mr. Fagerson,
Dave, and himself will have a
critique session. At that time they
will analyze their work, and ask
Auditions for the religious-mu-sical
drama, Greater Love, will
be held on Monday and Tuesday,
October 19 and 20, from 7 to
9:30 p.m., in the Seminary Chapel
on campus.
The play has been written and
will be directed by Steve Pederson,
a former Bethel student, who is
now a senior majoring in Theatre
at the University of Minnesota.
The play is based on that best
selling novel, Tell No Man, by
Adela Rogers St. Johns. Mr. Peder-son
commented, "This play has
been a dream of mine for four
years. I firmly believe that a realis-vately.
The Bethel Board of Reg-ents
has stated that the use of
drugs is a non-negotiable matter.
In other words, if the Student Ser-vices
office finds that a student
has been smoking marijuana or
using harder drugs, it is automatic
questions as what the piece means
to the writer and how does it
relate to others. Mr. Fagerson,
Dave Heikkila and Doug Erick-son
will be the editors, but will in
no way subjectively judge an-others'
work, it is hoped that
that will be done in the critique
session.
The three plan to publish their
first Coeval by the end of October,
and with enough student support
hope to lay on the campus at least
one issue every month.
tic dramatic expression, through
the combination of drama and
music, is the best way to com-municate
the Gospel to contempor-ary
society. This is an area that
the evangelical colleges must move
into. Nothing quite like this has
been done at Bethel, hopefully
it will be an exciting and reward-ing
adventure for all those in-volved."
Mr. Pederson needs actors, sing-ers,
musicians (drummer, bass,
flute, etc.), publicity people, and
a stage crew. Anyone interested
in any aspect of production is
encouraged to come to the audi-tions.

Comets crunch
Bethel 36.12
by Bill Ankerberg
The Bethel Royals met Concor-dia
College of St. Paul on the grid-iron
Saturday, October 10th after a
lay-off of one week. October 3rd
was an open date and was utilized
in preparation for last week's game
hosted by Concordia. The Royals
came off the field on the short
end of a 36-12 score.
Bethel's first score came on a
43 yard pass play, with Sophomore
quarterback Dave Pearson connect-ing
with freshman halfback Mark
Wood. Concordia mounted a sus-tained
drive in the final quarter
of play to come up with 20 addi-tional
points. Bethel's final score
came in the final one-second of
play on a ten yard pass from Pear-son
to his end, Steve Conklin.
Mark Wood led the Royals in
total yardage with 51 yards pas-sing
and 36 yards rushing. Steve
Payne once again proved himself
to be the work horse of the Roy-by

A revamped financial aids pro-gram
and a fund called ."perform-ance
money" are contributing to
Bethel's growing athletic scholar-ship
program.
The Admissions and Financial
Aid Office has been overhauled
and, after several years of prog-ress,
is in its first year of really
efficient operation. Jim Bragg, dir-ector
of this department, attributes
their success to improved organi-zation
and a systematized proced-ure.
Commenting on the results
of this reformed operation, Bragg
said: "Our financial aid arrange-ments
with this year's freshman
class were completed by April. In
previous years those arrangements
have taken until as late as Sept-ember
to wrap up."
Bragg emphasized the import-ance
of this speedier process in
helping potential students, espec-ially
athletes, make earlier com-mitments.
"If a student is to know
where he stands, he must receive
our specific financial aid informa-tion
at the same time he is re-ceiving
such information from oth-er
schools," Bragg said, adding:
"Until recently, we haven't been
getting this done."
Bragg also mentioned that re-turning
students are much more
aware of requirements and dead-lines
associated with the financial
aid program and that more of these
people are applying for aid than
ever before.
Another new feature on the fin-ancial
aid front is performance
money. This money is a budgeted
item and constitutes a fund used
,,exclusively for scholarships. It
has been designated for distribu-tion
this year in the areas of mus-ic
and sports.
Athletic Director Gene Glader
explained that athletes have been
gi n financial help in the past,
but only as students, their sports
ability being incidental. "This is
the first year we have had funds
available specifically for sports
scholarships," he said.

The Hot Corner
By Rich Zaderaka
The Bethel football team was hardly impressive in losing 36-12 to
the Comets of Concordia. I've seen the campus pop machines hit harder
than the Concordia running backs were hit Saturday. If the Royals
are going to roll over and play dead because of a discouraging loss to
Northland they might as well give up right now. The way they played
last week indicates that they will be content to spend the winter dream-ing
about their win over Sioux Falls and the rest of the games that
might have been won.
When the Royals start blocking, tackling and running aggressively
like football players should, they'll start winning. But if the team
continues to play as they did last week, they would have been better
off to have ended the season after the Sioux Falls game.
* * *
The spirit of the fans at the football games has been disgraceful.
There seemed to be some exhuberance during the first half of the
Northland game but the Royal backers seemed to fizzle out in the
second half. A roaring crowd would definitely help the gridder's
efforts. The girls understand that .guys like to cheer at football games
so don't worry about what they'll think. In fact, they may think you're
a dud if you don't holler. Get out to the game and scream your head
off tomorrow!
* * *
The soccer team continues its winning ways, having placed second
in the Platteville Soccer Tournament. So far, tip:, team has compiled a
season record of 6-2. Tomorrow's game against the University of
Minnesota will be a big one as the Royals will be trying to prove that
last year's win over the Gophers was no fluke.
The National Hockey League season has started and it looks like
the Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks will win their respective
divisions easily. The teams in Chicago's division couldn't beat the
Hawks with blackjacks, and Boston is definitely the roughest team in
the league.

GRID PIX
Last week I came out with 9 right and only 4 wrong to boost the
season total to 22-14-1. That's a 61% mark which is rather low at
this point but not too bad considering the number of big upsets so far.
With the close matchups of the teams this week, most of the games
could go either way, but it looks like:
Denver over Atlanta
Baltimore over New York Jets
Minnesota over Dallas
Detroit over Cleveland
Los Angeles over Green Bay
Miami over Buffalo
San Francisco over New Orleans
Boston over New York Giants
Houston over Pittsburgh
St. Louis over Philadelphia
San Diego over Chicago
Oakland over Washington
