•E al■ Fr iday, October 23, 1 970 Bethe l College, St. Paul, Min nesota Vol. XLVI—No. 6 photo by bob miko Lake Valentine . . . for better or for worse God loves all men; can we do the same? by Peter Varros All too often, many who are raised under an organized (and com-partmentalized, dehumanized and formalized) religion find it conven-ient to forget there exists a world beyond the stained glass and pulpit pounding, a world of pushers and prostitutes, deviates and drunks, blacks as well as whites. With their preconceived concepts of love, many Christians interpret this world to be a diseased little island, not to be involved with or reached out to, a world the Baptist General Conefer-ence (Bethel College) is notorious for completely casting off to one side as it trains up missionaries and supports their works in converting the heathen savage. Yet, is this world, in all of its sickness and need, any less deserv-ing of the Good News than the "old saints" in our churches who have become pickled in a brine of "let's-dress-up-in-our-Sunday-best-and-invite- the-pastor-to-dinner?" Most financial and moral priorities of our churches would suggest that society is an area last to be reckoned with in fear of dynamic and purposeful confrontations similar to the early New Testament congregagtion with local pagan culture. The sugar-coated version of Christ's teachings we naively absorb has produced generation after generation of diabetic Christians so frightened of life that they dare not share love beyond their pew partners lest direct con-tact is made with an unfamiliar, possibly hostile, or even black face. Quite a few of us have known no other ways of thinking other than those which our churches have imposed on us, and we have become so entirely dependent upon the security of apron-string fellowship that any unforeseen moments outside of church are spent in near terror as you are forced to share the same air with non-Christians. We stand in the world with our defenses down, easy prey for some bad experience to send us whimpering back to the cliques of comfort and reassurance. Will Lake Valentine The organized church was never intended to become an end unto itself as it now stands, but rather an assemblage of believers for mutual strengthening in order to spur on greater individual witnessing and out-reach.

If Since the lake is quite shallow to begin with (13 feet is the maximum depth), every effort must be made to prevent its filling in. Both of the silt contributors can be controlled. The highway con-struction erosion can be reduced by seeding; and slowing the flow of the creek, possibly by the use of dams, will greatly reduce its silt addi-tion. However, steps must be taken soon. According to Russell Johnson, Associate Professor of Biology, a se-vere winter kill last year wiped out most of the lake's fish, except for some small bullheads. "The bullheads can survive with a very low oxy-gen level," he explained. Johnson said that other fish will thrive only if the oxygen level dur-ing the winter is increased. This can be done by maintaining maximum depth and keeping snow off th ice so that sunlight can filter through to the oxygen-producing plants on the bottom. Both Johnson and Meacham expressed optimism over the recrea-tional potential of Lake Valentine. They feel that canoeing, sailing, fish-ing, and even swimming are possible with the right kind of planning. Johnson cautioned against the use of motor boats and commercial fertilizer if we are to avoid pollution in the future. "Man is the biggest polluter. If his activities are controlled, the lake will take care of itself." Does Bethel have too many students? by Jack Priggen Would anyone argue that Bethel has more students than it can ade-quately handle? In the past Bethel has been overcrowded and this year it is clearly worse. Will the new campus relieve this condition, or is Bethel doomed to exist in a condition of population explosion? Evidence of overcrowded conditions are abundant. Classroom and office space is overtaxed, students are forced to use other institution's facilities, and there isn't enough equipment to meet the demands. Room 106 has been used as a classroom for required classes num-bering 200 plus. At last, History 101 (Western Civilization) has been continued on page 2 go down the drain? continued no page 2 Two students dismissed for smoking marijuana by Pat Faxon and Marjorie Rusche The running tally is now four. Last Friday, two freshmen males were asked to leave Bethel by Deans Muck and Rainbow of the Student Ser-vices office. They were reported to have smoked marijuana. It is not the intention of this editorial to discuss the morality of smoking marijuana or the morality of dismissing students for doing it. We would make one plea to our fellow students. If you are presently engaged in activities that are frowned upon by the administration and considered illegal by the U.S. government, please be more discreet about to whom you confide your extra-curricular activities. It is not prudent to advertise the fact that you drink or smoke grass. It is not prudent to drink, smoke cigarettes or grass in the dormitories. If you feel you want to engage in these kinds of activities, do them off campus and keep the fact to yourself. By advertising them you are in-viting the administration to take punitive action against you. Being sneaky about the way you live tends to breed cynicism, bitter-ness, and distrust among fellow Christians. However, it is difficult to both retain your membership in this community and openly flout its rules on life style. So, if you feel it is dishonest to verbally deny that you smoke marijuana or drink when you are in fact doing so, transfer to a school where you can be more honest about what you do or start following the rules. On the other hand, if you feel justified in drinking or smoking marijuana and simultaneously staying at Bethel, make sure that your private life is your private life, and not public information. To the four of you who have been asked to leave Bethel this year, we wish you well. May you grow in God's grace and love and may the Holy Spirit keep you from feeling bitter towards Bethel and its admin-istration. We hope you find what you're now searching for, and we deep-ly regret that the only answer Bethel gave to your searching and prob-ing was excommunication from its "Christian fellowship."

Doesn't it? page 2 the CLARION Friday, October 23, 1970 (parts of this page reprinted from "Conservation News") Will Christians be persecuted for misapplied Christian ethic? by Bob Miko As I do more reading about the social, economic, political and eco-logical problems of the world today, I can't help but notice a trend that is a common source to all the problems. When I worked with the Christian World Liberation Front in Berk-eley, I heard what the New-Left's idea of Christ and what the Christian ethic was to them. The speil from the "free speech platform" would go something like this: "America is founded on the Christian Ethic, one nation under God and all. Look where we're at today! And the Baptist South was the group who brought the Blacks over for slaves under the idea that since they were giving them "freedom in Christ" is was "O.K." to have slaves. And it was the Christian who allowed us to rape nature, saying that God gave us the world to use for our own whims. . . ." As Christians start becoming smaller and smaller minorities, these accusations are going to become more and more prevalent. As the world gets more desperate, the need of a "scapegoat" is going to become ne-cessary and since we Christians have had our mitts into everything, ex-cept living the Christian life, we are going to be it. I give us less than ten years . . . then professing Christians are going to be openly perse-cuted in this country. Are you willing to die for the Christian Ethic misapplied by the non-Christian? I believe that the Christians should start, perhaps here at Bethel, to show the American people what the difference between a Christian community and a non-Christian community. Responsibilility spans the color spectrum continued from page 1 it had not been for the stress and tension involved, that chapel would not have had to take place. Be glad that it did, and be grateful that God has given you the ability to reason and speak. We are not animals gov-erned by instinct, but human beings with a definite rationale for de-termining our actions. We must be straight with ourselves and decide whether or not we will accept the full responsibility Christ puts upon us, not as a burden, but as a chance to prove our love for Him. If you cannot feel a compassion equally for the needs of one man as well as another, you are not ready to be a disciple of Christ. Jesus knew the soul hase no country of origin other than Heaven, nor superficial pig-mentation except pure white, both of which come through His matchless love and grace. Here we exist, sardines in a spiritual can continued from page 1 divided into several smaller classes, but other classes continue to be forced into room 106 which are much too large for any other classroom. Another example of insufficient classroom space is Seminary Chapel, a 'classroom' with no desks, often no overhead projector, and until this last week no blackboards. The basement of the Speech House has been used as a classroom in spite of insufficient heating and lighting. Professors and Doctors who have adequate office space at Bethel are almost non-existent. Have you ever been in James Treece's office (if you can find it), or any other office in the Sem Building? Have you ever ventured into Steve Terrell's office or any office in any of the 'houses' on Arona? I rest my case. Existing facilities were not built for 1100 students. Coffee shop hours have been extended and still lines form out the door, around the corner, down the hall, etc., etc., etc. After you buy your food at the coffee shop (at least the food is good), you have no guarantee of finding a place to sit. I understand the cafeteria has many of these same opportunities to communicate with your fellow students while you wait and wait and wait and .. . The Bethel Bookstore offers fantastic opportunities to test your coordination and patience. Try walking down the ever-narrowing aisles without knocking something off the shelves. Have you ever had to wait 10, 20, 30 minutes to buy a Bic pen? Speaking of patience, it's often easier to drive to the libraries at the University of Minnesota or a public one than try t ofind an empty chair in the Bethel library. The equipment at Bethel is underwhelming. Often there are tapes but no projector or tape recorder, often there is chalk but no black-board available, often there is a screen but no overhead projector avail-able, often there are students but no desks available. Walk into the language lab sometime and your heart will stop in disbelief when you see that there are still five unoccupied booths, however, it will turn out that three of them don't work and the other two don't have chairs. Bethel has a lack of housing which any student which lives in a dorm or manor will affirm; and although Bethel was lucky in finding the Centennial Gardens apartments it loses money on these apartments. Oh yeah, have you ever driven several miles to a 'home' football or soccer game? And if it wasn't for the State Fair grounds across the street, where would the Physical Education classes meet? I understand that there are even plans to provide for athletic fields at the new cam-pus��� far out man! If all aspects of overcrowding and lack of facilities were mentioned, an entire Clarion could be devoted to this purpose. In spite of the short-comings of the administration in this area I feel that the quality of edu-cation at Bethel is quite good; however, perhaps the quality of life and the conditions of the environment of the Bethel community are not up to their potential due to overcrowding. The advantages and financial as-pects of added students are great but too many people lower the quality of life. AGAHHH! The Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun has discovered that polluted river water can be used to develop photographs. The paper's September 4 issue printed a photograph developed not with a chemical developer but with water collected from rivers, ditches, and canals near Mt. Fuji. The resulting photo was fuzzy but recognizable. "HOW'D IT DIE?" On the shores of the Snake River, I sat fishing with my rod; As I watched the cool brown water Flow along the damp warm sod.

WBCS is back for more broadcasting action Bethel College is represented at regional AAES conference by Dave Greener They're "back for more." The sign said so in the coffee shop. Mark Kingsbeck said so in a chapel announcement. And last Monday night radio station WBCS returned in fact to the local airwaves for another year of Bethel broadcast-ing. WBCS is Bethel's student oper-ated radio station. It's programs are beamed primarily to the cam-pus itself (100 mill. watts exude but little else) and can be picked up at the 1050 marking on a radio dial. "We plan to play music that has been big in the recent past," re-lates Station Manager Mark Kings-beck about the current year's for-mat. Kingsbeck, a Bethel senior who has been manager since the middle of his freshman year, listed such artists as the Lettermen, An-dy Williams, and Peter, Paul and Mary in illustrating this emphasis. Some of the more "current" groups —such as the Carpenters, Bread, and Three Dog Night—will be air-ed as well as music by request. WBCS programming is not lim-ited to merely music during its 6 P.M.-12 midnight Monday-Friday schedule. For example, special pro-grams are being planned for Mon-day evenings. The Bethel version of "The Dating Game" will start on WBCS Monday night, Novem-ber 9, and will alternate every oth-er week with special talk shows. The talk shows, explains Kings-beck, will have special guests and On two Sundays every month, students may phone in questions. services are being held at Olivet The first talk show is November Baptist Church, with Mr. De Paris 2 and includes student government from Argentina as speaker. and publication leaders as guests. Nightly news- and sports-casts are being planned. There will also be some live broadcasts from the coffee shop as well as the possibil-ity of live entertainment for some of these broadcasts. An innovation this year is that basketball games will be broad-cast. Station Sports Director Rich Zaderaka reveals that letters ask-ing about broadcasting facilities are also being sent to other schools Bethel will visit. Arrangements are being made with Bell Tele-phone to transmit these broad-casts. And so WBCS is "back for more." It was almost back for less.

The AAES Conference was held October 15-18 at Olivet Nazarene College in Kankakee, Illinois. Schools represented were: Bethel College (Minnesota), Fort Wayne Bible College, Calvin College, Spring Arbor College, Taylor Uni-versity, Bethel College (Indiana), Marion College, Judson College, Trinity College, Philadelphia Col-lege of the Bible, and Olivet Naza-rene College. Margie Campbell, Anne Dalton, Same Griffith, Gabriel Ofotukun, Maurice Zaffke, and Marjorie Rus-che represented Bethel at the Con-ference. Three basic areas of student in-volvement were discussed at the conference. First was student in-teraction with his community through social and political invole-ment. Second was student inter-action through student publica-tions and the third area covered was student government. Each topic was first presented by an assembly chairman. These people presented an overview speech of the topic. Two student reactors then presented function-ing college programs or structures which related to the discussion topic. Following this session the delegates were divided into three groups for discussion. The dele-gates then reconvened for a sum-mation of what had occured in each dialogue ggroup and there was additional interaction between delegates at this time. Elections for a Regional Chair-man to succeed Kay Oldham of Spring Arbor College, this year's chairman, were held. Sam Griffith of Bethel was defeated by Jim Vi-ditio of Olivet Nazarene. In addition to the formal dis-cussion sessions there was oppor-tunity for interaction on a one to one basis with fellow students on a varitey of topics ranging from school rules on dress codes to Un-ited States involvement in the Vietnam War. One topic which interested many of the delegates was that of by John Moore Next Tuesday, October 27, Mr. James E. Johnson, Vice chairman of the United States Civil Service Commission, will speak to Semin-ary students at 9:45, and to the College during chapel. Johnson is the top ranking Negro in the Nix-on administration. He has been in public service in California and Washington for the last four years under Governor Ronald Reagan of California and President Nixon. Mr. Johnson is a graduate of George Washington University, and holds a bachelor of science degree in public administration. He is currently working on his master's degree and hopes to ob-tain his doctorate by 1973. Mr. Johnson defines himself as an "American-Negro" preferring not to have the label, "Black." He feels that such words are the type used by radicals such as Stokeley Carmichael for political effect or compulsory chapel. Most of the schools there retained compulsory chapel and were interested when they heard that Bethel had volun-tary chapel. They were surprised to discover that Bethel students actually did attend chapel when they weren't officially required to. The stated purposes of the con-ference were to promote an inter-est in the affairs of a world out-side of the delegates' campuses and to provide an opportunity for sharing of mutual problems and solutions. The AAES has a good potential for providing interested individuals (such as congressmen) with national opinions of evangel-ical college students. The evangel-ical student community has no choice but to inform and then de-clare itself on vital issues of so-ciety. by Joey Healy Lillian Ryberg recognized a mutual need, and initiated a pro-gram whereby Bethel Spanish students could visit Spanish-speak-ing families in the Twin Cities. These families, often newcomers to the area, were in need of friends. At the same time, Spanish students could benefit greatly through direct acquaintance with those of different backgrounds. Also, this association provided a unique opportunity to practice speaking Spanish in a situation where it was necessary, since the families often could not speak Eng-lish. Individual conversations prov-ed to be both educational and fas-cinating, and customs, such as ges-tures in greetings and when eating could be observed first-hand. Between sixty and ninety people regularly attend monthly meetings of Spanish-speaking people in the Twin Cities. Bethel has been rep-resented at these meetings by four to twelve students. Says Ryberg, "Last May, Mrs. Francis Carlson and I started a series of monthly meetings at the Salvation Army, with not necessar-ily anything to do with the Army. Our hope is to get to know Span-ish- speaking people in the Twin Cities. "Many Cubans have just arrived, who have no money and few used in anger. He is also, you may have gathered, a Republican and conservative. He has yet to be iden-tified with the N.A.A.C.P. or the civil rights movement. His political philosophy is derived from his 21 years of experience in the Marine Corps and his zealous belief in the "great American dream." A few of Mr. Johnson's job du-ties, besides directing 6,700 Civil Service employees, 'are writing all the examinations for 3 million fed-eral employees, writing federal employment rules and regulations and administering equal employ-ment opportunity laws. As a com-missioner Johnson is required to travel around the country, check-ing on regional offices to make sure they are properly carrying out the Commission's work. As for the future, Mr. Johnson is considering running in the 1972 congressional elections, and even perhaps the California senate races in 1974. Bethel was the most liberal in attitudes of the schools represent-ed at the conference. Some of the schools there were preoccupied with such matters as the length of guys' hair and girls' skirts and ab-olishing compulsory chapel. It was expressed (privately and publical-ly) by the Bethel delegation that there are more urgent matters, such as war, racism, poverty, ali-enation, environment, that Chris-tians must be concerned with. We, the delegates that attended the conference, came back to Beth-el with a different perspective on the college, fresh hope for more social, political, and spiritual in-teraction, and increased desire to make known the truth and wisdom that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spir-it reveal about human relations and human institutions. friends. We have been impressed with the rapidity with which they have re-established their families here in the Twin Cities, many find-ing jobs and buying homes. We have wanted to become friends with these people and hope even-tually to discuss life in Christ with them. "The program has consisted of evangelical films, a Latin-Ameri-can Christian combo group from Chicago, and a social hour when Bethel students have had an op-portunity to get to know some of these people and speak Spanish with them. "We are hopeful that within a short time, we will have establish-ed a work among the Spanish-speaking people in the Twin City area, which will be an outpost of one of the Salvation Army Corps in Minneapolis, with a full-time Spanish-speaking officer." Still other outreaches have been accomplished through the Spanish department here at Bethel. Two Sundays ago, Nancy Meyer and Di-ane Lewis helped Ryberg with a short service at the home of Mrs. Olgo Zayas, who left Cuba with her little girl and has since become a Christian. Mrs. Claar Diaz, one of the wom-en visited by Bethel students, is currently assisting Ryberg with Spanish discussion ggroups. Darcia Narvaez has begun to practice with several Bethel stu-dents who are interested in sing-ing and playing Spanish folk songs. Among them are Pam El-liott, Joanne Tarman, Nancy Mey-er, Diane Lewis, and Becky Thorp. The group has been asked to sing at a retreat for high school and university students, among whom there are several Spanish-speaking people. trantmitter and knew where to buy the necessary $10 part. The station bought the last one the vendor had in supply. Impairing the purchase of new equipment and records was the Student Senate's decision last year to cut station support funds from $1,000 to virtually nothing (they may give some later on). The station does receive some funds, however. For example, this year the station is working with the Speech Department and re-ceives $500 from them. (In the spring, the Department's radio class will have a specified amount of WBCS airtime as a course re-quirement.) Also, the station made approximately $175 on their "John-ny Carson" variety show. They are soliciting advertisements to help pay for their away-basketball game broadcasts. In the human aspect, in pro-gramming, recruiting sufficient personnel is somewhat of a prob-lem. More important is the prob-lem o fpleasing the students. "It's hard to please college students," says Kingsbeck. "We can't please everyone all of the time but we try to please the majority most of the time." And so the strategy is to "bring in more special shows" and "get the people more involved with the station." Communications Board seeks Clarion editor The position of Clarion editor for spring semester of this year is open and the Communications Board is receiving applications. Traditionally the term for Clarion editor has been from January to January. Application procedure is as fol-lows: applicants must submit their name and a written statement of their proposed objectives and edi-torial policies to Elden Elseth by November 15; members of the Communications Board will then review the submitted statements, interview the applicants, and make recommendations to the senate which has final authority to fill the position. All interested and qualified students are encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a cumulative 2.0 grade point average and carry a 12 credit load during his term as editor. Members of the Communications Board include Maurice Lawson, campus pastor; James Anderson, instructor in English; Alvera Mickelson, instructor in Journal-ism and Writing; Elden Elseth, Richard Halverson, and Harvey Frye.

T. Trend Dean Lindberg 501;q4Nzy SHE ighic pissOriwa., • 41111, Page 4 the CLARION by Pat Faxon In the past year and a half the Clarion staff has grown from a total of two to a healthy twenty or so. Still, even with such encour-aging improvement, putting out a publication such as the Clarion takes more hours than I care to tally and with a staff that by most standards would be classed as mod-erate in size, the amount of work for each member, particularly the editors, is phenomenal. This space is dedicated to those who have sac-crificed to learn and to serve the community by providing a paper each week. Let us tell you what it's like. My roommate asked me this ev-ening at the dinner table if I would consider being editor and chief for another semester if I got more money for it. I think she was a little puzzled by my emphatic re-sponse. 'No,' I said, 'No amount of money could make me take the position for another semester.' What's it like being editor and chief of the paper? (I've been ask-ed that question a number of times and I never know quite how to answer it). Instead of telling you, let me ask you, the reader, some questions. What is it like to try to remem-ber 1001 detail's and keep before you the larger plan, to talk to five different people at once and not make any feel as though he's be-ing ignored, to be creative and clever when it's been 22 hours since you last slept? What is it like to be frustrated by knowledge which is 'privileged' information, to understand both the administrative and student per-spectives and agree totally with neither yet be forced to take a stand, to stand firm when you'd like to crawl away, to be cheerful and encouraging when you'd like to play the vanishing act? Hmmmm, why would anyone want to be editor, anyway? A person doesn't want to be edi-tor for the same reasons that he wants to do most other things. The benefits of the job are very sub-jective. You start doing it for rea-sons like for the experience, to im-prove your writing, and maybe even a little for the prestige. But you soon find that you've become more self-confident, not the cocky sort, but the kind that comes from learning to understand and be pa-tient. You find that you've become more articulate, you have a set of priorities, and an unbelievable knowledge of human nature and interaction. You find that you know yourself better than you ever could have before, you learn to laugh at trouble and how to make the show go on in spite of. . . . You find friendship and a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. You participate in the process of soul-building. You find the human soul fragile, tenuous, unruly . . . beautiful. by Marjorie Rusche Working for the Clarion is sur-realistic. The events and people you deal with become super real. You become perceptive to the point of hallucination due to the long hours, lack of sleep, and con-stant pressure of working under deadlines. Being an editor on the Clarion staff is demanding, fulfilling, edu-cational, and Excedrine headache number 66. It's like running out-side and rolling nude in the snow after taking a steaming hot show-er— extremely stimulating, but you know you're crazy all the time you're doing it. Working on a newspaper ex-poses you to a great variety of peo-ple and situations. You learn more about the good and bad in people around you, and find out new things about yourself. I think that I am just beginning Friday, October 23, 1970 to understand (after working on the paper for two years) the pow-er and force that words can have, how they can be used with integ-rity or maliciously and selfishly. I believe that it is not only right but necessary to write honestly and plainly, with regard for the emotions and ideas of your audi-ence, but also to write with knowl-edge of your obligation to touch tender and vulnerable spots in or-der to reveal inconsistencies and encourage change. In the explosive, confused, cha-otic world we live in, I view the role of a journalist—particularly a journalist claiming Christ as Lord—as a prophetic one. We must examine existing situations, state causative factors, and pres-cribe potential solutions. We must not shrink from our conception of of truth, however unpopular it might be. When I become discouraged—as I occasionally do—by some of the repercussions of my journalistic adventures on the Clarion staff, I remember what that ol' Missouri mule Harry Truman used to say, "If you can't stand the heat, don't go in the kitchen." Getting burnt once in a while is worth being in the kitchen, so if any of you can dig learning more about people and increasing your self-expression through writing, come on down to the Clarion office and we'll put you to work. by Rich Zaderaka It is very difficult and time con-suming to put out a sports page without the help of student staff writers and the co-operation of the coaches of the various sports. Help in the writing area has not been extremely abundant. It is even more difficult to write a sports column. Because of the extremely varied backgrounds at Bethel, it is impossible to write g column that is totally appealing to everyone. Also not everyone will agree with the opinions stated. Since the Clarion is the Bethel paper this ne-cessitates commenting on Bethel athletics now and then. This can. be a touchy situation because truthful reporting does not neces-sarily take complementary forms. If anyone does take exception to the opinions stated in the Hot Corner, their comments (in letter form) are welcomed. by Jack Priggen Currently working on the Clar-ion is really far out. In a school with an enrollment of 1100, still only about 15-20 people contribute fact that the Clarion is something outstanding. I am. The reason for this is because I feel the Clarion offers you much more than you are required to give. Students who have a desire to work or help out in any way need only ask. The experiences, challenges, op-portunities, WORK and rewards plus having the opportunity of be-ing an 'ambassador for Christ' make working on the Clarion staff well worth the time invested. by Bob Mike I think that writing for the Clarion is a Christian's obligation to the student body. Our Father has created us all and has allowed us to develop in unique ways. He has given to each of us here at Bethel a fresh one-of-a-kind-point-of- view of Himself and His crea-tion. As different parts of The Body, depending upon one another for "unity, we should be allowing one another the "newness" of your point of view. It is very sad to watch people become mechanical sameness, without any God-given individual-ity expressed, in a way to edify Jesus Christ. By my writing in the Clarion I hope to make people aware of the world that God has shown me, so that we might come together. to each issue and the brunt of this work is done by four or five of the editors. Being one of these 'four or five' I feel that many students with talent are not doing their part here at Bethel. Come down to the Clarion office and I'll show you examples of the publications of all other colleges in the Twin Cities and I feel that you'll agree that we have the best paper in the Twin Cities (with the exception of the Minnesota Daily). The Clarion is not a farce, it's for real and you, yeah you man, can make it even better. Don't let me scare you away be-cause the Clarion is a real expe-rience. Clarion staff members are among the best informed students at Bethel. We know what is hap-pening before it happens and we also know much that often is not printed in the Clarion. So far this 'article' may sound as if I'm trying to sell you on the Clarion staff tells it like it is . . LIVING 4RR by John Larson If you vote Republican then you have done the right thing ... if you say something profound in class then you are profound person .. . if you ask a foolish question then you are a fool . . . if you have blonde hair then you have more fun . . . if you have long hair then you are hip . . . if you say spiritual things then you must be a spiritual person. . . . These are the dreams that allow us to survive. Do you want to be accepted as a profound person? Then don't ask foolish questions. Do you want to be accepted as a rebel? Then grow your hair and dress weird. Do you want to be accepted as a spiritual giant? Then repeat spiritual phrases and learn to pray without hesita-tion. The people you are trying to please will accept your cleverness, your hair, and your prayers; chances are they'll miss you as a person. Your identity hinges on what is seen, so it is these things you must pro-tect and cultivate. Your image must be maintained at all costs, for it is this that you will eventually become. Isn't it great to be alive? On days when our self-image is bound to be threatened we hate to get out of bed. We avoid associating with people that place us in a posi-tion that we're not used to . . . they might find out how stupid we really are. We live not in freedom, but in the bondage of fear. When we are exposed in front of every one, we become uncomfortable; when we are rejected by everyone, we are destroyed. We see ourselves only in relation to each other. Our lives are made or broken by the people around us. We are products of our environment, and a product can never overcome its creator. We defeat ourselves. We forfeit our claim to be a new cre-ation not understood by the world. We have accepted temporal values to the extent that we miss the infinite person within each of us. If and when we forget our role in Bethel's society and accept the freedom and life in Jesus, we will begin to experience the reality of Life instead of our image of life. When we forsake the security of visible ac-ceptance for the unseen security of Jesus we will finally know peace. When we finally get frustrated with our phony relationships and get right into Jesus, then we will see a genuine love for each other . . . we then will see an environment working in freedom instead of fear . . . producing life instead of death.

In his lecture, Dr. Zimmerman explained that his use of jazz on the art level is quite different from our popular or rock and roll music which he feels is only entertain-ment and not art. He said that rock and roll had made no contribution to the art of music as it introduces no new concepts or elements. Ac-cording to him, it comes from the ragtime tradition, merely putting known musical elements together in a grosser and rougher form, and it has been no inspiration to any composer. Dr. Berglund, Bethel College Choir director, said that he was very interested in the composer's new approach to church music and feels that he has hit upon an idea that might bridge the old and the new. He went on to say that the choir has enoyed performing Dr. Zimmerman's works and is pres-ently working on three spirituals composed by him in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. Zimmerman's new concepts have been well received in the Un-ited States and Europe and many colleges are performing his works, said Dr. Berglund. "They are ex-citing," he said, "and put fresh new life into old church music." Though Dr. Zimmerman did not work individually with the college choir, choir members sang several of his new compositions with the choirs of Augsburg and Concordia accompanied by a jazz band at the Augsburg Clinic Friday night.

The Director of the School of Church Music in West Berlin, sponsored by the Evangelical Lu-theran Church of Germany, Dr. Zimmerman came in contact with the Bethel College Choir during their European tour in the sum-mer of 1969. The choir performed one of Dr. Zimmerman's composi-tions while on tour, "Make a Joy-ful Noise," and he was favorably impressed, stating that Bethel has "the best choir he'd heard in Ber-lin." A two-day clinic at Augsburg college Oct. 16-17 was the first stop in Dr. Zimmerman's 20-day tour of universities across the country,- with the purpose of lec-turing on his views relating to church music as well as his com-positional techniques. In a meeting with interested students at Bethel Friday after-noon, he explained some of his pioneer ideas in the field of church music. He has developed a new concept of polyphony (a piece of music woven together of different single melodic lines which all sound simultaneously) in church music by integrating jazz tech-niques of the 40's and 50's into his compositions. Dr. Zimmerman feels that some of the jazz techniques will create interesting backgrounds for the polphonic techniques, and is con- "Immanuel-God with Us" will be theme of Festival The theme of Festival of Christ-mas this year will be "Immanuel— God With Us."

TOOOti Pollution and the Death of Man, The Christian view of Ecology by Bob Miko There is an excellent new book in the Bethel book store dealing with ecology. It is written by Francis A. Schaeffer of The God Who is There fame. He has written two other books, Escape From Reason and Death in the City, with another one set to come out in December. In his new book, Pollution and the Death of Man, The Christian View of Ecology, Dr. Schaeffer takes a look at the Christian's role in the en-vironmental problem which presses in upon us all. He does this by first stating the problem as proposed by the non-Christian, and his solution to it. Dr. Schaeffer then shows the shortcomings of their answer and the true Christian answer as the only solution. Dr. Schaeffer uses an article that appeared in the Science Magazine of March 10, 1967. It was written by Lynn White Jr., a professor of His-tory at the University of California at Los Angeles. The article is titled, "The Historical Roots of our Ecologic Crisis," which is reprinted in this book. According to Dr. Schaeffer, Prof. White does a very brilliant article stating what the problem is. The problem as he sees it is "although we no longer are a Christian world, but a post-Christian one, nevertheless we still retain a 'Christian mentality' in the area of ecology. He says Christianity presents a bad view of nature." Not only this but he also says that, "what people do about their ecology depends on what they think about themselves in relation to things around them. Human ecol-ogy is deeply conditioned by beliefs about our nature and our destiny— that is by religion." Dr. Schaeffer agrees that the problem has been properly defined. Along the same lines as Prof. White's thinking, Richard L. Means, an associate professor of sociology at the college of Kalamazoo, develops a solution in his article "Why Worry About Nature." This article which appeared in the December 2, 1967, edition of the Saturday Review is also reprinted in Dr. Schaeffer's book. Prof. Means presents again, the idea that the ecological problem is one of ethics, but man's only con-cept of ethics has been man to man. Schaeffer quotes extensively from both articles as he shows the sad state of affairs that man apart from the true God is in today. Dr. Schaeffer goes on to show how the pantheistic idea, developed by Prof. Means, falls apart and really how misconstrued most peoples' idea of what God has revealed to us in scripture. Dr. Schaeffer devotes one whole chapter to discuss the scriptual account of creation and man's relationship to it. He then goes on to show us what happened at the fall of man. Man was divided from God, first; and then, ever since the fall, man is separated from himself. The next division is that man is divided from other men; these are the sociological divisions. And then man is divided from nature, and nature is divided from nature." Reading fur-ther he says, "So there are these multiple divisions, and one day, when Christ comes back, there is going to be a complete healing of all of them, on the basis of the 'blood of the lamb.' Dr. Schaeffer sums it up by saying that today through the power of the cross, we can "substantially heal" the earth. He suggests that we, the church, do this by being an example, "a pilot plant" to show the world how God would have us live. Let me just say that once again Dr. Schaeffer has done an excellent job of presenting the dilemma of modern man, his attempt to bring the wrold together, without God, and how the Christian message is the only answer to today's problems. Pollution and the Death of Man, The Christian View of Ecology is published by Tyndale, has one hundred and twenty-five pages, and sells for the cheap price of one dollar and ninety-five cents.

Thursday night before I left I heard that the language requirement had been dropped—that was the greatest news of this academic year! Now I understand that the new curriculum only applies to incoming freshmen—that's not so good as news—eh campus? I. I guess you could say A. Seniors this year are semi-lucky (1 year language re-quirement) B. Incoming freshmen are definitely lucky C. There are three classes of unluckies 1) I was born too early and too late 2) I'm not too lucky (pertaining to this matter however) Then again I am lucky because I can see the non-beautiful leaves today (I put in the 'non' so you wouldn't just skip over "the beauti-ful leaves"—you know I want to give the word beautiful a "fresh" and (are you ready?) relevant meaning). Yes they are beautiful and the moon and stars are beautiful each night too—have you noticed? If you haven't, you are wasting your fall . . . and a person only gets about sev-enty falls (autumns) to enjoy (and you've probably used up about twenty (20) of them, right?) The Lord has made a fantastic creation—there is so much going on constantly in nature that I don't know about—M41 Johnson knows though (Bio 101). I remember when I had to write an ecology report for Biology class—I was amazed at all the things happen-ing on our little campus. Take notice! When I walk in the woods instead of studying or working my mother says I'm lazy—but Larry Ostrom pointed out to me that we're not lazy—we're aesthetic. I worked on a Studebaker Hawk (1954) this past weekend when I went to Duluth. I worked hard and had lots of problems. $1000 aviation award leads to Private License An award is now available for All interested students are invit-young men interested in entering ed to submit applications for the the field of commercial aviation. award, and will be expected to ob- The Bethel Aviation Award, am- tain an FAA Second Class Medical ounting to approximately $1,000 Certificate, submit a written state-will assist an eligible student in a ment declaring his previous inter-program leading to a commercial est and experience in the field of pilot's license with instrument rat- aviation and his vocational objec-ing. tives.

Harriers place second in CC meet Page 6 the CLARION The Bethel Royals hosted the Eureka Red Devils at Midway Sta-dium on Saturday, October 17. Eu-reka upset the Royal's Homecom-ing attempt by defeating them by a 21-16 score. The game was statistically dom-inated by Bethel with 333 yards as the Royals rushed for 195 yards and quarterback Dave Pearson completed 9 of 28 passes for 138 yards. Eureka went 144 yards on the ground and were held to 78 yards in the air as they compiled 222 cumulative yards. Both teams scored touchdowns in the first and second periods. The score at the half was 14-13 after Bethel failed to convert the extra point in the second period. Bethel pulled ahead 16-14 on a field goal by John Faust in the 3rd quarter but were stopped short of their second regular season win by Eureka's final touchdown late in the fourth period. Fine individual efforts by Lar-ry Van Epps, Jim Carlson, and Bruce Johnson contributed to Bethel's finest game execution all year. The Royal's offensive unit was successful in gaining 16 first downs as the defense held Eureka to 11. Isolated defensive mistakes by the Royals determined Eure-ka's victory. Fullback Steve Payne rushed for 80 yards and freshman halfback Mark Wood led the team in rush-ing and reiceiving with 129 yards. He rushed for 78 yards with an average of 6 yards per carry. The Royals play their final home game next Saturday at 1:30 in a game with Huron College of Hu-ron, Sout hDakota at Midway Sta-dium.

The Hot Corner by Rich Zaderaka I don't intend to apologize for the opinions stated in last week's column. A lot of the football players were really burned after reading what I wrote and I can't say that I blame them. But I won't retract one word of what I said because I believe that it was all true. I'm not claim-ing to have inspired them to play aggressive football against Eureka. I'm not trying to soothe wounded feelings by saying that the team played the best game I've seen in two years. But the defense was hitting with a fierceness that characterizes football. The offensive line was opening holes in Eureka's line that you could have driven a dump truck through. And when the holes weren't there, Mark Wood and Steve Payne still picked up yardage on valiant individual efforts. Ends Sheldon Carlson and Steve Conklin made some fine pass receptions. Saturday's performance was a total team effort. The team made mistakes, but those mistakes were kept to a mini-mum. They played hard-nosed football—the way football should be played. You'll never catch me knocking the cross country team. These guys have GUTS. If you don't believe that go out and run with them for a week, and find out what it's really like. I doubt if there is any sport which is more mentally as well as physically exhausting. The harriers get very little if any recognition; in fact, their only real reward is per-sonal satisfaction. Current runners are Phil James, Dan Brodin, Dave Greener, Greg Speck, Dave Foy, Dave Peterson and Steve Smith. Roger Deneen and Dennis Zaderaka were running earlier in the season but were forced out of action because of injuries. GRID PIX An excellent week with a record of 10-2-1 upped the season mark to 32-16-2. This week there are four or five toughies that could go either way but the likely winners are: Baltimore over Boston New York Jets over Buffalo Miami over Cleveland San Diego over Houston Oakland over Pittsburgh Detroit over Chicago Green Bay over Philadelphia St. Louis over New York Giants Minnesota over Los Angeles Washington over Cincinnati New Orleans over Atlanta Kansas City over Dallas Denver over San Francisco Gridders fall short of victory 21-16 Bethel's Royals took second place in their Homecoming Cross Country Meet last Saturday morn-ing. The Harriers recorded a tally of 37 as Hamline won the meet with 27 and St. Paul Bible had 62. Junior Phil James once more paced Bethel runners, garnering fourth plcae overall. Freshman Dan Brodin once again finished near James, this time but three seconds back. Senior Dave Greener followed in eighth place and was. closely pursued (five seconds be-hind) by freshman Dave Peterson who was running in his first meet. Another such newcomer, freshman) Steve Smith, completed the Royal scoring with an eleventh place fin-ish. Sophomore Greg Speck and freshman Dave Foy helped "push back" St. Paul Bible and some oth-er runners. Coach Glader was satisfied with the long distance men's perform-ance, especially considering that two of the freshman had just come out for the squad. He found it un-fortunate, however, as did the rest of the team, that Gustavus Adol-phus did not show up in adequate numbers to compete (Bethel de-feated the Gusties earlier this year). It was thought that Concor-dia- St. Paul might compete too but they did not. Bethel closes what has not been an especially successful season (record-wise) by traveling to Wi-nona today for a scheduled Trian-gular with Winona State and Stev- Universe-shaking as it sounds, some otherwise sophisticated in-tellectuals (as well as the majority of students) may not understand what "cross country" is. A cross country" is not a nation with a foul disposition nor is it a term with which to label the re-ligious nature of Bethel-land. It is not even, as some may think, fall track. "Cross country" is a long dis-tance sport. In college this foot race is most typically four miles long. Scores are compiled according to individual runnerps' finishes. The first place runner gets "1," the second "2," the third "3," and so on. A team's first five places are added up for the team score and the lowest score wins. Technicality: runners six and seven for any team do not count in the scoring but are included in the counting. That is, if Bethel has the first eight runners in a meet, the score is 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 ens Point. The last regular season home meet is a week from Satur-day against Jamestown. plus 5 equals 15. If the first man from another school is number nine, he is counted number eight. The reason: five men from one team score, the next two don't score but "push back" the other team (s), the next runner does not count at all.) At Bethel this year, there has been extra standing room (and even seating room) left over in both home meets. For example, last week—true, there was again a soccer game at the same time—, the first female spectator this year showed up and became about 20- 25% of the Bethel crowd. It is thought by this writer that there may be members on Bethel's cross country team that will not violent-ly complain if a few more of their fellow students bother to come and see how they run. The next home meet is a week from tomorrow—October 31 at 11 —at the Como Course (the course is located by the tennis courtg south of the conservatory). The Bethel soccer team lost their homecoming game to the Univer-sity of Minnesota last week, by the score of 2-0. Both teams were re-ally up for the game, with Bethel wanting to prove its ability before the homecoming crowd. Bethel played controlled ball in the first half, with several close shots at the goal, but the Royals were unable to put the ball in the net. The Gophers go ttheir first goal toward the end of the first half on a breakaway, with their offense by Lynn Dreesen The girls' hockey team here at Bethel started the season well with a 7-0 victory over St. Catherine's. Sarah Reasoner, center; Sandy Sanford and Kathy Head, inners; Jean MacNabs and Lynn Dreesen, wings; were all able to score. The opposition was held from scoring by excellent defense work of Ra-chel Dick, Jan Hendrickson, Linda Schmid, Barb Elliot, and Debbie Comeau. The second game against Carl-ton was different. For the first time our girls played on an open putting a rush on the Bethel de-fense. Minnesota scored another breakaway goal in the second half which was demoralizing to the Royal boosters. Bethel had several more good opportunities but were unable to score. All in all, the game was fairly even with outstanding play by each team. The outcome could have turned either way but this time Minnesota came out on top. To-morrow, the Royals hope to avenge their defeat when they challenge the University International team. field and they fought hard but the Carlton team won 3-1. Our single point was scored by a push-pass from Sandy Sanford. In the third game Sarah Reason-er scored two points to win over St. Paul Academy, 2-1. Passing in the offensive line had improved much over previous games and Jeane Westwater showed tremen-dous effort as goalie. The team has done an excellent job. With only a 12 member team they cannot scrimmage. However, our girls have one advantage — "GRIT!"

With their preconceived concepts of love, many Christians interpret this world to be a diseased little island, not to be involved with or reached out to, a world the Baptist General Conefer-ence (Bethel College) is notorious for completely casting off to one side as it trains up missionaries and supports their works in converting the heathen savage. Yet, is this world, in all of its sickness and need, any less deserv-ing of the Good News than the "old saints" in our churches who have become pickled in a brine of "let's-dress-up-in-our-Sunday-best-and-invite- the-pastor-to-dinner?" Most financial and moral priorities of our churches would suggest that society is an area last to be reckoned with in fear of dynamic and purposeful confrontations similar to the early New Testament congregagtion with local pagan culture. The sugar-coated version of Christ's teachings we naively absorb has produced generation after generation of diabetic Christians so frightened of life that they dare not share love beyond their pew partners lest direct con-tact is made with an unfamiliar, possibly hostile, or even black face. Quite a few of us have known no other ways of thinking other than those which our churches have imposed on us, and we have become so entirely dependent upon the security of apron-string fellowship that any unforeseen moments outside of church are spent in near terror as you are forced to share the same air with non-Christians. We stand in the world with our defenses down, easy prey for some bad experience to send us whimpering back to the cliques of comfort and reassurance. Will Lake Valentine The organized church was never intended to become an end unto itself as it now stands, but rather an assemblage of believers for mutual strengthening in order to spur on greater individual witnessing and out-reach. It would seem the church today becomes more insistent that so-ciety comes to it, a direct contradiction of Christ's life style. Only on occasion do representatives of a church enter the city, and even then by Dave Healy usually for the purpose of collecting rent from tenants living in church- Lake Valentine's future is being decided now. What we as a school owned "non-profit" property!

If Since the lake is quite shallow to begin with (13 feet is the maximum depth), every effort must be made to prevent its filling in. Both of the silt contributors can be controlled. The highway con-struction erosion can be reduced by seeding; and slowing the flow of the creek, possibly by the use of dams, will greatly reduce its silt addi-tion. However, steps must be taken soon. According to Russell Johnson, Associate Professor of Biology, a se-vere winter kill last year wiped out most of the lake's fish, except for some small bullheads. "The bullheads can survive with a very low oxy-gen level," he explained. Johnson said that other fish will thrive only if the oxygen level dur-ing the winter is increased. This can be done by maintaining maximum depth and keeping snow off th ice so that sunlight can filter through to the oxygen-producing plants on the bottom. Both Johnson and Meacham expressed optimism over the recrea-tional potential of Lake Valentine. They feel that canoeing, sailing, fish-ing, and even swimming are possible with the right kind of planning. Johnson cautioned against the use of motor boats and commercial fertilizer if we are to avoid pollution in the future. "Man is the biggest polluter. If his activities are controlled, the lake will take care of itself." Does Bethel have too many students? by Jack Priggen Would anyone argue that Bethel has more students than it can ade-quately handle? In the past Bethel has been overcrowded and this year it is clearly worse. Will the new campus relieve this condition, or is Bethel doomed to exist in a condition of population explosion? Evidence of overcrowded conditions are abundant. Classroom and office space is overtaxed, students are forced to use other institution's facilities, and there isn't enough equipment to meet the demands. Room 106 has been used as a classroom for required classes num-bering 200 plus. At last, History 101 (Western Civilization) has been continued on page 2 go down the drain? continued no page 2 Two students dismissed for smoking marijuana by Pat Faxon and Marjorie Rusche The running tally is now four. Last Friday, two freshmen males were asked to leave Bethel by Deans Muck and Rainbow of the Student Ser-vices office. They were reported to have smoked marijuana. It is not the intention of this editorial to discuss the morality of smoking marijuana or the morality of dismissing students for doing it. We would make one plea to our fellow students. If you are presently engaged in activities that are frowned upon by the administration and considered illegal by the U.S. government, please be more discreet about to whom you confide your extra-curricular activities. It is not prudent to advertise the fact that you drink or smoke grass. It is not prudent to drink, smoke cigarettes or grass in the dormitories. If you feel you want to engage in these kinds of activities, do them off campus and keep the fact to yourself. By advertising them you are in-viting the administration to take punitive action against you. Being sneaky about the way you live tends to breed cynicism, bitter-ness, and distrust among fellow Christians. However, it is difficult to both retain your membership in this community and openly flout its rules on life style. So, if you feel it is dishonest to verbally deny that you smoke marijuana or drink when you are in fact doing so, transfer to a school where you can be more honest about what you do or start following the rules. On the other hand, if you feel justified in drinking or smoking marijuana and simultaneously staying at Bethel, make sure that your private life is your private life, and not public information. To the four of you who have been asked to leave Bethel this year, we wish you well. May you grow in God's grace and love and may the Holy Spirit keep you from feeling bitter towards Bethel and its admin-istration. We hope you find what you're now searching for, and we deep-ly regret that the only answer Bethel gave to your searching and prob-ing was excommunication from its "Christian fellowship."

Doesn't it? page 2 the CLARION Friday, October 23, 1970 (parts of this page reprinted from "Conservation News") Will Christians be persecuted for misapplied Christian ethic? by Bob Miko As I do more reading about the social, economic, political and eco-logical problems of the world today, I can't help but notice a trend that is a common source to all the problems. When I worked with the Christian World Liberation Front in Berk-eley, I heard what the New-Left's idea of Christ and what the Christian ethic was to them. The speil from the "free speech platform" would go something like this: "America is founded on the Christian Ethic, one nation under God and all. Look where we're at today! And the Baptist South was the group who brought the Blacks over for slaves under the idea that since they were giving them "freedom in Christ" is was "O.K." to have slaves. And it was the Christian who allowed us to rape nature, saying that God gave us the world to use for our own whims. . . ." As Christians start becoming smaller and smaller minorities, these accusations are going to become more and more prevalent. As the world gets more desperate, the need of a "scapegoat" is going to become ne-cessary and since we Christians have had our mitts into everything, ex-cept living the Christian life, we are going to be it. I give us less than ten years . . . then professing Christians are going to be openly perse-cuted in this country. Are you willing to die for the Christian Ethic misapplied by the non-Christian? I believe that the Christians should start, perhaps here at Bethel, to show the American people what the difference between a Christian community and a non-Christian community. Responsibilility spans the color spectrum continued from page 1 it had not been for the stress and tension involved, that chapel would not have had to take place. Be glad that it did, and be grateful that God has given you the ability to reason and speak. We are not animals gov-erned by instinct, but human beings with a definite rationale for de-termining our actions. We must be straight with ourselves and decide whether or not we will accept the full responsibility Christ puts upon us, not as a burden, but as a chance to prove our love for Him. If you cannot feel a compassion equally for the needs of one man as well as another, you are not ready to be a disciple of Christ. Jesus knew the soul hase no country of origin other than Heaven, nor superficial pig-mentation except pure white, both of which come through His matchless love and grace. Here we exist, sardines in a spiritual can continued from page 1 divided into several smaller classes, but other classes continue to be forced into room 106 which are much too large for any other classroom. Another example of insufficient classroom space is Seminary Chapel, a 'classroom' with no desks, often no overhead projector, and until this last week no blackboards. The basement of the Speech House has been used as a classroom in spite of insufficient heating and lighting. Professors and Doctors who have adequate office space at Bethel are almost non-existent. Have you ever been in James Treece's office (if you can find it), or any other office in the Sem Building? Have you ever ventured into Steve Terrell's office or any office in any of the 'houses' on Arona? I rest my case. Existing facilities were not built for 1100 students. Coffee shop hours have been extended and still lines form out the door, around the corner, down the hall, etc., etc., etc. After you buy your food at the coffee shop (at least the food is good), you have no guarantee of finding a place to sit. I understand the cafeteria has many of these same opportunities to communicate with your fellow students while you wait and wait and wait and .. . The Bethel Bookstore offers fantastic opportunities to test your coordination and patience. Try walking down the ever-narrowing aisles without knocking something off the shelves. Have you ever had to wait 10, 20, 30 minutes to buy a Bic pen? Speaking of patience, it's often easier to drive to the libraries at the University of Minnesota or a public one than try t ofind an empty chair in the Bethel library. The equipment at Bethel is underwhelming. Often there are tapes but no projector or tape recorder, often there is chalk but no black-board available, often there is a screen but no overhead projector avail-able, often there are students but no desks available. Walk into the language lab sometime and your heart will stop in disbelief when you see that there are still five unoccupied booths, however, it will turn out that three of them don't work and the other two don't have chairs. Bethel has a lack of housing which any student which lives in a dorm or manor will affirm; and although Bethel was lucky in finding the Centennial Gardens apartments it loses money on these apartments. Oh yeah, have you ever driven several miles to a 'home' football or soccer game? And if it wasn't for the State Fair grounds across the street, where would the Physical Education classes meet? I understand that there are even plans to provide for athletic fields at the new cam-pus��� far out man! If all aspects of overcrowding and lack of facilities were mentioned, an entire Clarion could be devoted to this purpose. In spite of the short-comings of the administration in this area I feel that the quality of edu-cation at Bethel is quite good; however, perhaps the quality of life and the conditions of the environment of the Bethel community are not up to their potential due to overcrowding. The advantages and financial as-pects of added students are great but too many people lower the quality of life. AGAHHH! The Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun has discovered that polluted river water can be used to develop photographs. The paper's September 4 issue printed a photograph developed not with a chemical developer but with water collected from rivers, ditches, and canals near Mt. Fuji.

WBCS is back for more broadcasting action Bethel College is represented at regional AAES conference by Dave Greener They're "back for more." The sign said so in the coffee shop. Mark Kingsbeck said so in a chapel announcement. And last Monday night radio station WBCS returned in fact to the local airwaves for another year of Bethel broadcast-ing. WBCS is Bethel's student oper-ated radio station. It's programs are beamed primarily to the cam-pus itself (100 mill. watts exude but little else) and can be picked up at the 1050 marking on a radio dial. "We plan to play music that has been big in the recent past," re-lates Station Manager Mark Kings-beck about the current year's for-mat. Kingsbeck, a Bethel senior who has been manager since the middle of his freshman year, listed such artists as the Lettermen, An-dy Williams, and Peter, Paul and Mary in illustrating this emphasis. Some of the more "current" groups —such as the Carpenters, Bread, and Three Dog Night—will be air-ed as well as music by request. WBCS programming is not lim-ited to merely music during its 6 P.M.-12 midnight Monday-Friday schedule. For example, special pro-grams are being planned for Mon-day evenings. The Bethel version of "The Dating Game" will start on WBCS Monday night, Novem-ber 9, and will alternate every oth-er week with special talk shows. The talk shows, explains Kings-beck, will have special guests and On two Sundays every month, students may phone in questions. services are being held at Olivet The first talk show is November Baptist Church, with Mr. De Paris 2 and includes student government from Argentina as speaker. and publication leaders as guests. Nightly news- and sports-casts are being planned. There will also be some live broadcasts from the coffee shop as well as the possibil-ity of live entertainment for some of these broadcasts. An innovation this year is that basketball games will be broad-cast. Station Sports Director Rich Zaderaka reveals that letters ask-ing about broadcasting facilities are also being sent to other schools Bethel will visit. Arrangements are being made with Bell Tele-phone to transmit these broad-casts. And so WBCS is "back for more." It was almost back for less.

The AAES Conference was held October 15-18 at Olivet Nazarene College in Kankakee, Illinois. Schools represented were: Bethel College (Minnesota), Fort Wayne Bible College, Calvin College, Spring Arbor College, Taylor Uni-versity, Bethel College (Indiana), Marion College, Judson College, Trinity College, Philadelphia Col-lege of the Bible, and Olivet Naza-rene College. Margie Campbell, Anne Dalton, Same Griffith, Gabriel Ofotukun, Maurice Zaffke, and Marjorie Rus-che represented Bethel at the Con-ference. Three basic areas of student in-volvement were discussed at the conference. First was student in-teraction with his community through social and political invole-ment. Second was student inter-action through student publica-tions and the third area covered was student government. Each topic was first presented by an assembly chairman. These people presented an overview speech of the topic. Two student reactors then presented function-ing college programs or structures which related to the discussion topic. Following this session the delegates were divided into three groups for discussion. The dele-gates then reconvened for a sum-mation of what had occured in each dialogue ggroup and there was additional interaction between delegates at this time. Elections for a Regional Chair-man to succeed Kay Oldham of Spring Arbor College, this year's chairman, were held. Sam Griffith of Bethel was defeated by Jim Vi-ditio of Olivet Nazarene. In addition to the formal dis-cussion sessions there was oppor-tunity for interaction on a one to one basis with fellow students on a varitey of topics ranging from school rules on dress codes to Un-ited States involvement in the Vietnam War. One topic which interested many of the delegates was that of by John Moore Next Tuesday, October 27, Mr. James E. Johnson, Vice chairman of the United States Civil Service Commission, will speak to Semin-ary students at 9:45, and to the College during chapel. Johnson is the top ranking Negro in the Nix-on administration. He has been in public service in California and Washington for the last four years under Governor Ronald Reagan of California and President Nixon. Mr. Johnson is a graduate of George Washington University, and holds a bachelor of science degree in public administration. He is currently working on his master's degree and hopes to ob-tain his doctorate by 1973. Mr. Johnson defines himself as an "American-Negro" preferring not to have the label, "Black." He feels that such words are the type used by radicals such as Stokeley Carmichael for political effect or compulsory chapel. Most of the schools there retained compulsory chapel and were interested when they heard that Bethel had volun-tary chapel. They were surprised to discover that Bethel students actually did attend chapel when they weren't officially required to. The stated purposes of the con-ference were to promote an inter-est in the affairs of a world out-side of the delegates' campuses and to provide an opportunity for sharing of mutual problems and solutions. The AAES has a good potential for providing interested individuals (such as congressmen) with national opinions of evangel-ical college students. The evangel-ical student community has no choice but to inform and then de-clare itself on vital issues of so-ciety. by Joey Healy Lillian Ryberg recognized a mutual need, and initiated a pro-gram whereby Bethel Spanish students could visit Spanish-speak-ing families in the Twin Cities. These families, often newcomers to the area, were in need of friends. At the same time, Spanish students could benefit greatly through direct acquaintance with those of different backgrounds. Also, this association provided a unique opportunity to practice speaking Spanish in a situation where it was necessary, since the families often could not speak Eng-lish. Individual conversations prov-ed to be both educational and fas-cinating, and customs, such as ges-tures in greetings and when eating could be observed first-hand. Between sixty and ninety people regularly attend monthly meetings of Spanish-speaking people in the Twin Cities. Bethel has been rep-resented at these meetings by four to twelve students. Says Ryberg, "Last May, Mrs. Francis Carlson and I started a series of monthly meetings at the Salvation Army, with not necessar-ily anything to do with the Army. Our hope is to get to know Span-ish- speaking people in the Twin Cities. "Many Cubans have just arrived, who have no money and few used in anger. He is also, you may have gathered, a Republican and conservative. He has yet to be iden-tified with the N.A.A.C.P. or the civil rights movement. His political philosophy is derived from his 21 years of experience in the Marine Corps and his zealous belief in the "great American dream." A few of Mr. Johnson's job du-ties, besides directing 6,700 Civil Service employees, 'are writing all the examinations for 3 million fed-eral employees, writing federal employment rules and regulations and administering equal employ-ment opportunity laws. As a com-missioner Johnson is required to travel around the country, check-ing on regional offices to make sure they are properly carrying out the Commission's work. As for the future, Mr. Johnson is considering running in the 1972 congressional elections, and even perhaps the California senate races in 1974. Bethel was the most liberal in attitudes of the schools represent-ed at the conference. Some of the schools there were preoccupied with such matters as the length of guys' hair and girls' skirts and ab-olishing compulsory chapel. It was expressed (privately and publical-ly) by the Bethel delegation that there are more urgent matters, such as war, racism, poverty, ali-enation, environment, that Chris-tians must be concerned with. We, the delegates that attended the conference, came back to Beth-el with a different perspective on the college, fresh hope for more social, political, and spiritual in-teraction, and increased desire to make known the truth and wisdom that Jesus, God, and the Holy Spir-it reveal about human relations and human institutions. friends. We have been impressed with the rapidity with which they have re-established their families here in the Twin Cities, many find-ing jobs and buying homes. We have wanted to become friends with these people and hope even-tually to discuss life in Christ with them. "The program has consisted of evangelical films, a Latin-Ameri-can Christian combo group from Chicago, and a social hour when Bethel students have had an op-portunity to get to know some of these people and speak Spanish with them. "We are hopeful that within a short time, we will have establish-ed a work among the Spanish-speaking people in the Twin City area, which will be an outpost of one of the Salvation Army Corps in Minneapolis, with a full-time Spanish-speaking officer." Still other outreaches have been accomplished through the Spanish department here at Bethel. Two Sundays ago, Nancy Meyer and Di-ane Lewis helped Ryberg with a short service at the home of Mrs. Olgo Zayas, who left Cuba with her little girl and has since become a Christian. Mrs. Claar Diaz, one of the wom-en visited by Bethel students, is currently assisting Ryberg with Spanish discussion ggroups. Darcia Narvaez has begun to practice with several Bethel stu-dents who are interested in sing-ing and playing Spanish folk songs. Among them are Pam El-liott, Joanne Tarman, Nancy Mey-er, Diane Lewis, and Becky Thorp. The group has been asked to sing at a retreat for high school and university students, among whom there are several Spanish-speaking people. trantmitter and knew where to buy the necessary $10 part. The station bought the last one the vendor had in supply. Impairing the purchase of new equipment and records was the Student Senate's decision last year to cut station support funds from $1,000 to virtually nothing (they may give some later on). The station does receive some funds, however. For example, this year the station is working with the Speech Department and re-ceives $500 from them. (In the spring, the Department's radio class will have a specified amount of WBCS airtime as a course re-quirement.) Also, the station made approximately $175 on their "John-ny Carson" variety show. They are soliciting advertisements to help pay for their away-basketball game broadcasts. In the human aspect, in pro-gramming, recruiting sufficient personnel is somewhat of a prob-lem. More important is the prob-lem o fpleasing the students. "It's hard to please college students," says Kingsbeck. "We can't please everyone all of the time but we try to please the majority most of the time." And so the strategy is to "bring in more special shows" and "get the people more involved with the station." Communications Board seeks Clarion editor The position of Clarion editor for spring semester of this year is open and the Communications Board is receiving applications. Traditionally the term for Clarion editor has been from January to January. Application procedure is as fol-lows: applicants must submit their name and a written statement of their proposed objectives and edi-torial policies to Elden Elseth by November 15; members of the Communications Board will then review the submitted statements, interview the applicants, and make recommendations to the senate which has final authority to fill the position. All interested and qualified students are encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a cumulative 2.0 grade point average and carry a 12 credit load during his term as editor. Members of the Communications Board include Maurice Lawson, campus pastor; James Anderson, instructor in English; Alvera Mickelson, instructor in Journal-ism and Writing; Elden Elseth, Richard Halverson, and Harvey Frye.

T. Trend Dean Lindberg 501;q4Nzy SHE ighic pissOriwa., • 41111, Page 4 the CLARION by Pat Faxon In the past year and a half the Clarion staff has grown from a total of two to a healthy twenty or so. Still, even with such encour-aging improvement, putting out a publication such as the Clarion takes more hours than I care to tally and with a staff that by most standards would be classed as mod-erate in size, the amount of work for each member, particularly the editors, is phenomenal. This space is dedicated to those who have sac-crificed to learn and to serve the community by providing a paper each week. Let us tell you what it's like. My roommate asked me this ev-ening at the dinner table if I would consider being editor and chief for another semester if I got more money for it. I think she was a little puzzled by my emphatic re-sponse. 'No,' I said, 'No amount of money could make me take the position for another semester.' What's it like being editor and chief of the paper? (I've been ask-ed that question a number of times and I never know quite how to answer it). Instead of telling you, let me ask you, the reader, some questions. What is it like to try to remem-ber 1001 detail's and keep before you the larger plan, to talk to five different people at once and not make any feel as though he's be-ing ignored, to be creative and clever when it's been 22 hours since you last slept? What is it like to be frustrated by knowledge which is 'privileged' information, to understand both the administrative and student per-spectives and agree totally with neither yet be forced to take a stand, to stand firm when you'd like to crawl away, to be cheerful and encouraging when you'd like to play the vanishing act? Hmmmm, why would anyone want to be editor, anyway? A person doesn't want to be edi-tor for the same reasons that he wants to do most other things. The benefits of the job are very sub-jective. You start doing it for rea-sons like for the experience, to im-prove your writing, and maybe even a little for the prestige. But you soon find that you've become more self-confident, not the cocky sort, but the kind that comes from learning to understand and be pa-tient. You find that you've become more articulate, you have a set of priorities, and an unbelievable knowledge of human nature and interaction. You find that you know yourself better than you ever could have before, you learn to laugh at trouble and how to make the show go on in spite of. . . . You find friendship and a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. You participate in the process of soul-building. You find the human soul fragile, tenuous, unruly . . . beautiful. by Marjorie Rusche Working for the Clarion is sur-realistic. The events and people you deal with become super real. You become perceptive to the point of hallucination due to the long hours, lack of sleep, and con-stant pressure of working under deadlines. Being an editor on the Clarion staff is demanding, fulfilling, edu-cational, and Excedrine headache number 66. It's like running out-side and rolling nude in the snow after taking a steaming hot show-er— extremely stimulating, but you know you're crazy all the time you're doing it. Working on a newspaper ex-poses you to a great variety of peo-ple and situations. You learn more about the good and bad in people around you, and find out new things about yourself. I think that I am just beginning Friday, October 23, 1970 to understand (after working on the paper for two years) the pow-er and force that words can have, how they can be used with integ-rity or maliciously and selfishly. I believe that it is not only right but necessary to write honestly and plainly, with regard for the emotions and ideas of your audi-ence, but also to write with knowl-edge of your obligation to touch tender and vulnerable spots in or-der to reveal inconsistencies and encourage change. In the explosive, confused, cha-otic world we live in, I view the role of a journalist—particularly a journalist claiming Christ as Lord—as a prophetic one. We must examine existing situations, state causative factors, and pres-cribe potential solutions. We must not shrink from our conception of of truth, however unpopular it might be. When I become discouraged—as I occasionally do—by some of the repercussions of my journalistic adventures on the Clarion staff, I remember what that ol' Missouri mule Harry Truman used to say, "If you can't stand the heat, don't go in the kitchen." Getting burnt once in a while is worth being in the kitchen, so if any of you can dig learning more about people and increasing your self-expression through writing, come on down to the Clarion office and we'll put you to work. by Rich Zaderaka It is very difficult and time con-suming to put out a sports page without the help of student staff writers and the co-operation of the coaches of the various sports. Help in the writing area has not been extremely abundant. It is even more difficult to write a sports column. Because of the extremely varied backgrounds at Bethel, it is impossible to write g column that is totally appealing to everyone. Also not everyone will agree with the opinions stated. Since the Clarion is the Bethel paper this ne-cessitates commenting on Bethel athletics now and then. This can. be a touchy situation because truthful reporting does not neces-sarily take complementary forms. If anyone does take exception to the opinions stated in the Hot Corner, their comments (in letter form) are welcomed. by Jack Priggen Currently working on the Clar-ion is really far out. In a school with an enrollment of 1100, still only about 15-20 people contribute fact that the Clarion is something outstanding. I am. The reason for this is because I feel the Clarion offers you much more than you are required to give. Students who have a desire to work or help out in any way need only ask. The experiences, challenges, op-portunities, WORK and rewards plus having the opportunity of be-ing an 'ambassador for Christ' make working on the Clarion staff well worth the time invested. by Bob Mike I think that writing for the Clarion is a Christian's obligation to the student body. Our Father has created us all and has allowed us to develop in unique ways. He has given to each of us here at Bethel a fresh one-of-a-kind-point-of- view of Himself and His crea-tion. As different parts of The Body, depending upon one another for "unity, we should be allowing one another the "newness" of your point of view. It is very sad to watch people become mechanical sameness, without any God-given individual-ity expressed, in a way to edify Jesus Christ. By my writing in the Clarion I hope to make people aware of the world that God has shown me, so that we might come together. to each issue and the brunt of this work is done by four or five of the editors. Being one of these 'four or five' I feel that many students with talent are not doing their part here at Bethel. Come down to the Clarion office and I'll show you examples of the publications of all other colleges in the Twin Cities and I feel that you'll agree that we have the best paper in the Twin Cities (with the exception of the Minnesota Daily). The Clarion is not a farce, it's for real and you, yeah you man, can make it even better. Don't let me scare you away be-cause the Clarion is a real expe-rience.

LIVING 4RR by John Larson If you vote Republican then you have done the right thing ... if you say something profound in class then you are profound person .. . if you ask a foolish question then you are a fool . . . if you have blonde hair then you have more fun . . . if you have long hair then you are hip . . . if you say spiritual things then you must be a spiritual person. . . . These are the dreams that allow us to survive. Do you want to be accepted as a profound person? Then don't ask foolish questions. Do you want to be accepted as a rebel? Then grow your hair and dress weird. Do you want to be accepted as a spiritual giant? Then repeat spiritual phrases and learn to pray without hesita-tion. The people you are trying to please will accept your cleverness, your hair, and your prayers; chances are they'll miss you as a person. Your identity hinges on what is seen, so it is these things you must pro-tect and cultivate. Your image must be maintained at all costs, for it is this that you will eventually become. Isn't it great to be alive? On days when our self-image is bound to be threatened we hate to get out of bed. We avoid associating with people that place us in a posi-tion that we're not used to . . . they might find out how stupid we really are. We live not in freedom, but in the bondage of fear. When we are exposed in front of every one, we become uncomfortable; when we are rejected by everyone, we are destroyed. We see ourselves only in relation to each other. Our lives are made or broken by the people around us. We are products of our environment, and a product can never overcome its creator. We defeat ourselves. We forfeit our claim to be a new cre-ation not understood by the world. We have accepted temporal values to the extent that we miss the infinite person within each of us. If and when we forget our role in Bethel's society and accept the freedom and life in Jesus, we will begin to experience the reality of Life instead of our image of life. When we forsake the security of visible ac-ceptance for the unseen security of Jesus we will finally know peace. When we finally get frustrated with our phony relationships and get right into Jesus, then we will see a genuine love for each other . . . we then will see an environment working in freedom instead of fear . . . producing life instead of death.

In his lecture, Dr. Zimmerman explained that his use of jazz on the art level is quite different from our popular or rock and roll music which he feels is only entertain-ment and not art. He said that rock and roll had made no contribution to the art of music as it introduces no new concepts or elements. Ac-cording to him, it comes from the ragtime tradition, merely putting known musical elements together in a grosser and rougher form, and it has been no inspiration to any composer. Dr. Berglund, Bethel College Choir director, said that he was very interested in the composer's new approach to church music and feels that he has hit upon an idea that might bridge the old and the new. He went on to say that the choir has enoyed performing Dr. Zimmerman's works and is pres-ently working on three spirituals composed by him in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. Zimmerman's new concepts have been well received in the Un-ited States and Europe and many colleges are performing his works, said Dr. Berglund. "They are ex-citing," he said, "and put fresh new life into old church music." Though Dr. Zimmerman did not work individually with the college choir, choir members sang several of his new compositions with the choirs of Augsburg and Concordia accompanied by a jazz band at the Augsburg Clinic Friday night.

The Director of the School of Church Music in West Berlin, sponsored by the Evangelical Lu-theran Church of Germany, Dr. Zimmerman came in contact with the Bethel College Choir during their European tour in the sum-mer of 1969. The choir performed one of Dr. Zimmerman's composi-tions while on tour, "Make a Joy-ful Noise," and he was favorably impressed, stating that Bethel has "the best choir he'd heard in Ber-lin." A two-day clinic at Augsburg college Oct. 16-17 was the first stop in Dr. Zimmerman's 20-day tour of universities across the country,- with the purpose of lec-turing on his views relating to church music as well as his com-positional techniques. In a meeting with interested students at Bethel Friday after-noon, he explained some of his pioneer ideas in the field of church music. He has developed a new concept of polyphony (a piece of music woven together of different single melodic lines which all sound simultaneously) in church music by integrating jazz tech-niques of the 40's and 50's into his compositions. Dr. Zimmerman feels that some of the jazz techniques will create interesting backgrounds for the polphonic techniques, and is con- "Immanuel-God with Us" will be theme of Festival The theme of Festival of Christ-mas this year will be "Immanuel— God With Us."

TOOOti Pollution and the Death of Man, The Christian view of Ecology by Bob Miko There is an excellent new book in the Bethel book store dealing with ecology. It is written by Francis A. Schaeffer of The God Who is There fame. He has written two other books, Escape From Reason and Death in the City, with another one set to come out in December. In his new book, Pollution and the Death of Man, The Christian View of Ecology, Dr. Schaeffer takes a look at the Christian's role in the en-vironmental problem which presses in upon us all. He does this by first stating the problem as proposed by the non-Christian, and his solution to it. Dr. Schaeffer then shows the shortcomings of their answer and the true Christian answer as the only solution. Dr. Schaeffer uses an article that appeared in the Science Magazine of March 10, 1967. It was written by Lynn White Jr., a professor of His-tory at the University of California at Los Angeles. The article is titled, "The Historical Roots of our Ecologic Crisis," which is reprinted in this book. According to Dr. Schaeffer, Prof. White does a very brilliant article stating what the problem is. The problem as he sees it is "although we no longer are a Christian world, but a post-Christian one, nevertheless we still retain a 'Christian mentality' in the area of ecology. He says Christianity presents a bad view of nature." Not only this but he also says that, "what people do about their ecology depends on what they think about themselves in relation to things around them. Human ecol-ogy is deeply conditioned by beliefs about our nature and our destiny— that is by religion." Dr. Schaeffer agrees that the problem has been properly defined. Along the same lines as Prof. White's thinking, Richard L. Means, an associate professor of sociology at the college of Kalamazoo, develops a solution in his article "Why Worry About Nature." This article which appeared in the December 2, 1967, edition of the Saturday Review is also reprinted in Dr. Schaeffer's book. Prof. Means presents again, the idea that the ecological problem is one of ethics, but man's only con-cept of ethics has been man to man. Schaeffer quotes extensively from both articles as he shows the sad state of affairs that man apart from the true God is in today. Dr. Schaeffer goes on to show how the pantheistic idea, developed by Prof. Means, falls apart and really how misconstrued most peoples' idea of what God has revealed to us in scripture. Dr. Schaeffer devotes one whole chapter to discuss the scriptual account of creation and man's relationship to it. He then goes on to show us what happened at the fall of man. Man was divided from God, first; and then, ever since the fall, man is separated from himself. The next division is that man is divided from other men; these are the sociological divisions. And then man is divided from nature, and nature is divided from nature." Reading fur-ther he says, "So there are these multiple divisions, and one day, when Christ comes back, there is going to be a complete healing of all of them, on the basis of the 'blood of the lamb.' Dr. Schaeffer sums it up by saying that today through the power of the cross, we can "substantially heal" the earth. He suggests that we, the church, do this by being an example, "a pilot plant" to show the world how God would have us live. Let me just say that once again Dr. Schaeffer has done an excellent job of presenting the dilemma of modern man, his attempt to bring the wrold together, without God, and how the Christian message is the only answer to today's problems. Pollution and the Death of Man, The Christian View of Ecology is published by Tyndale, has one hundred and twenty-five pages, and sells for the cheap price of one dollar and ninety-five cents. Friday, October 23, 1970 the CLARION Page 5 by Harold C. This past weekend I went to Duluth (hometown)—that is why I turn-ed this column (article) in late, but you'll read it on time if it gets in. Thursday night before I left I heard that the language requirement had been dropped—that was the greatest news of this academic year! Now I understand that the new curriculum only applies to incoming freshmen—that's not so good as news—eh campus? I. I guess you could say A. Seniors this year are semi-lucky (1 year language re-quirement) B. Incoming freshmen are definitely lucky C. There are three classes of unluckies 1) I was born too early and too late 2) I'm not too lucky (pertaining to this matter however) Then again I am lucky because I can see the non-beautiful leaves today (I put in the 'non' so you wouldn't just skip over "the beauti-ful leaves"—you know I want to give the word beautiful a "fresh" and (are you ready?) relevant meaning). Yes they are beautiful and the moon and stars are beautiful each night too—have you noticed? If you haven't, you are wasting your fall . . . and a person only gets about sev-enty falls (autumns) to enjoy (and you've probably used up about twenty (20) of them, right?) The Lord has made a fantastic creation—there is so much going on constantly in nature that I don't know about—M41 Johnson knows though (Bio 101). I remember when I had to write an ecology report for Biology class—I was amazed at all the things happen-ing on our little campus. Take notice! When I walk in the woods instead of studying or working my mother says I'm lazy—but Larry Ostrom pointed out to me that we're not lazy—we're aesthetic. I worked on a Studebaker Hawk (1954) this past weekend when I went to Duluth. I worked hard and had lots of problems. $1000 aviation award leads to Private License An award is now available for All interested students are invit-young men interested in entering ed to submit applications for the the field of commercial aviation. award, and will be expected to ob- The Bethel Aviation Award, am- tain an FAA Second Class Medical ounting to approximately $1,000 Certificate, submit a written state-will assist an eligible student in a ment declaring his previous inter-program leading to a commercial est and experience in the field of pilot's license with instrument rat- aviation and his vocational objec-ing. tives.

Harriers place second in CC meet Page 6 the CLARION The Bethel Royals hosted the Eureka Red Devils at Midway Sta-dium on Saturday, October 17. Eu-reka upset the Royal's Homecom-ing attempt by defeating them by a 21-16 score. The game was statistically dom-inated by Bethel with 333 yards as the Royals rushed for 195 yards and quarterback Dave Pearson completed 9 of 28 passes for 138 yards. Eureka went 144 yards on the ground and were held to 78 yards in the air as they compiled 222 cumulative yards. Both teams scored touchdowns in the first and second periods. The score at the half was 14-13 after Bethel failed to convert the extra point in the second period. Bethel pulled ahead 16-14 on a field goal by John Faust in the 3rd quarter but were stopped short of their second regular season win by Eureka's final touchdown late in the fourth period. Fine individual efforts by Lar-ry Van Epps, Jim Carlson, and Bruce Johnson contributed to Bethel's finest game execution all year. The Royal's offensive unit was successful in gaining 16 first downs as the defense held Eureka to 11. Isolated defensive mistakes by the Royals determined Eure-ka's victory. Fullback Steve Payne rushed for 80 yards and freshman halfback Mark Wood led the team in rush-ing and reiceiving with 129 yards. He rushed for 78 yards with an average of 6 yards per carry. The Royals play their final home game next Saturday at 1:30 in a game with Huron College of Hu-ron, Sout hDakota at Midway Sta-dium.

The Hot Corner by Rich Zaderaka I don't intend to apologize for the opinions stated in last week's column. A lot of the football players were really burned after reading what I wrote and I can't say that I blame them. But I won't retract one word of what I said because I believe that it was all true. I'm not claim-ing to have inspired them to play aggressive football against Eureka. I'm not trying to soothe wounded feelings by saying that the team played the best game I've seen in two years. But the defense was hitting with a fierceness that characterizes football. The offensive line was opening holes in Eureka's line that you could have driven a dump truck through. And when the holes weren't there, Mark Wood and Steve Payne still picked up yardage on valiant individual efforts. Ends Sheldon Carlson and Steve Conklin made some fine pass receptions. Saturday's performance was a total team effort. The team made mistakes, but those mistakes were kept to a mini-mum. They played hard-nosed football—the way football should be played. You'll never catch me knocking the cross country team. These guys have GUTS. If you don't believe that go out and run with them for a week, and find out what it's really like. I doubt if there is any sport which is more mentally as well as physically exhausting. The harriers get very little if any recognition; in fact, their only real reward is per-sonal satisfaction. Current runners are Phil James, Dan Brodin, Dave Greener, Greg Speck, Dave Foy, Dave Peterson and Steve Smith. Roger Deneen and Dennis Zaderaka were running earlier in the season but were forced out of action because of injuries. GRID PIX An excellent week with a record of 10-2-1 upped the season mark to 32-16-2. This week there are four or five toughies that could go either way but the likely winners are: Baltimore over Boston New York Jets over Buffalo Miami over Cleveland San Diego over Houston Oakland over Pittsburgh Detroit over Chicago Green Bay over Philadelphia St. Louis over New York Giants Minnesota over Los Angeles Washington over Cincinnati New Orleans over Atlanta Kansas City over Dallas Denver over San Francisco Gridders fall short of victory 21-16 Bethel's Royals took second place in their Homecoming Cross Country Meet last Saturday morn-ing. The Harriers recorded a tally of 37 as Hamline won the meet with 27 and St. Paul Bible had 62. Junior Phil James once more paced Bethel runners, garnering fourth plcae overall. Freshman Dan Brodin once again finished near James, this time but three seconds back. Senior Dave Greener followed in eighth place and was. closely pursued (five seconds be-hind) by freshman Dave Peterson who was running in his first meet. Another such newcomer, freshman) Steve Smith, completed the Royal scoring with an eleventh place fin-ish. Sophomore Greg Speck and freshman Dave Foy helped "push back" St. Paul Bible and some oth-er runners. Coach Glader was satisfied with the long distance men's perform-ance, especially considering that two of the freshman had just come out for the squad. He found it un-fortunate, however, as did the rest of the team, that Gustavus Adol-phus did not show up in adequate numbers to compete (Bethel de-feated the Gusties earlier this year). It was thought that Concor-dia- St. Paul might compete too but they did not. Bethel closes what has not been an especially successful season (record-wise) by traveling to Wi-nona today for a scheduled Trian-gular with Winona State and Stev- Universe-shaking as it sounds, some otherwise sophisticated in-tellectuals (as well as the majority of students) may not understand what "cross country" is. A cross country" is not a nation with a foul disposition nor is it a term with which to label the re-ligious nature of Bethel-land. It is not even, as some may think, fall track. "Cross country" is a long dis-tance sport. In college this foot race is most typically four miles long. Scores are compiled according to individual runnerps' finishes. The first place runner gets "1," the second "2," the third "3," and so on. A team's first five places are added up for the team score and the lowest score wins. Technicality: runners six and seven for any team do not count in the scoring but are included in the counting. That is, if Bethel has the first eight runners in a meet, the score is 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 ens Point. The last regular season home meet is a week from Satur-day against Jamestown. plus 5 equals 15. If the first man from another school is number nine, he is counted number eight. The reason: five men from one team score, the next two don't score but "push back" the other team (s), the next runner does not count at all.) At Bethel this year, there has been extra standing room (and even seating room) left over in both home meets. For example, last week—true, there was again a soccer game at the same time—, the first female spectator this year showed up and became about 20- 25% of the Bethel crowd. It is thought by this writer that there may be members on Bethel's cross country team that will not violent-ly complain if a few more of their fellow students bother to come and see how they run. The next home meet is a week from tomorrow—October 31 at 11 —at the Como Course (the course is located by the tennis courtg south of the conservatory). The Bethel soccer team lost their homecoming game to the Univer-sity of Minnesota last week, by the score of 2-0. Both teams were re-ally up for the game, with Bethel wanting to prove its ability before the homecoming crowd. Bethel played controlled ball in the first half, with several close shots at the goal, but the Royals were unable to put the ball in the net. The Gophers go ttheir first goal toward the end of the first half on a breakaway, with their offense by Lynn Dreesen The girls' hockey team here at Bethel started the season well with a 7-0 victory over St. Catherine's. Sarah Reasoner, center; Sandy Sanford and Kathy Head, inners; Jean MacNabs and Lynn Dreesen, wings; were all able to score. The opposition was held from scoring by excellent defense work of Ra-chel Dick, Jan Hendrickson, Linda Schmid, Barb Elliot, and Debbie Comeau. The second game against Carl-ton was different. For the first time our girls played on an open putting a rush on the Bethel de-fense. Minnesota scored another breakaway goal in the second half which was demoralizing to the Royal boosters. Bethel had several more good opportunities but were unable to score. All in all, the game was fairly even with outstanding play by each team. The outcome could have turned either way but this time Minnesota came out on top. To-morrow, the Royals hope to avenge their defeat when they challenge the University International team. field and they fought hard but the Carlton team won 3-1. Our single point was scored by a push-pass from Sandy Sanford. In the third game Sarah Reason-er scored two points to win over St. Paul Academy, 2-1. Passing in the offensive line had improved much over previous games and Jeane Westwater showed tremen-dous effort as goalie. The team has done an excellent job. With only a 12 member team they cannot scrimmage. However, our girls have one advantage — "GRIT!"
