Festival of Christmas will combime tradition with new innovations by Dave Healy The Festival of Christmas is up-on us. This annual production, fea-turing the combined efforts of the art and music departments, will be given three times this year. On Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5, the performances will begin at 8 p.m., and the Sunday, Decem-ber 6 showing will be at 3 p.m. The theme for the 1970 Festival is "Immanuel—God With Us." The program consists of three parts: 1) He Has Come; 2) He Is Here; 3) He Is Coming Again. The music, narration, and visual effects have been selected to reflect these three ideas. Music will be provided by the Festival Choir and the Bethel Band. The Festival Choir consists of the Male Chorus, Women's Chorus, College Choir, and "extras"—peo-ple who do not belong to any of the three groups but who join with them to sing for the Festival of Christmas. The music department enthusiastically notes that more of these people have joined the Fes-tival Choir this year than ever be-fore. A special feature of the 1970 Festival will be the performance of guest harpist Lorraine King Wiklander. She will provide ac-companiment for both choir and congregational singing as well as a solo of What Child Is This? by Peter Varros Eight hundred families in the ghetto of St. Paul had a big din-ner along with the rest of us this Thanksgiving partially due to the efforts of Bethel students working with the Union Gospel Mission. The Souls Holiday campaign drew great response from the school, and aided the Ober Boys' Club in distributing eight hundred baskets complete with a turkey in each through the collection of canned goods, turkeys, and cash from con-tributors in the Bethel community. Evan Anderson would like to continue a project where each Bethel student donates three can-ned goods each week to be used for all people in need, not neces-sarily the ghetto, committing as Narration will be done by Ger-ald Healy, Associate Professor of English. This will consist of Scrip-ture and poetry appropriate to the Festival's theme. This year's Festival will include several changes in visual effects, positioning of the choirs, and gen-eral format. No programs will be given out at the beginning of the perform-ance. Instead, after the benedic-tion, choir members will circulate among the audience and pass out souvenir booklets. The art department has moved away from the traditional mural backdrop of years past. Instead they will concentrate on projec-tions against a white background. Although changes have been made, many traditional elements of the Festival have been retained, including the processional, with the choir holding candles and the band and chimes playing Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. Also, the congregational singing of Si-lent Night and the closing Joy to the World will be included. This is only the second year of charging admission to the Festival of Christmas, a measure undertak-en to deal with the over-capacity crowds that have showed up in the past. Ticket sales have progressed very well, with only a few remain-ing for the Sunday afternoon per-formance. to more than a token collection. Throughout the entire distribution, food was backed by an attitude that "we care; Jesus cares," and as His disciples, we want to share the "meat" of our faith in a manner of social interaction. Presently, the senate committee headed by Doug Erickson with Ann Dalton and Ralph Gustafson is working with Evan, Steve Scrog-gins, and Nate Wyatt to raise four hundred dollars for Christmas. Kids will be given four dollars each to buy some new clothes, rather than hand-me-downs, through a downtown store giving a percent-age discount. Evan really thanks all those who gave and hopes we will continue giving in a spirit of love. Bethel debaters continued their winning ways at Bradley Univer-sity on November 20-21. The team placed in the top ten schools in both individual events and debate. Dan Nelson won an award of "su-perior" in extemporeaneous speak-ing to place in the top ten in that event. Debbie Omanson and Bob Elliott also did well with awards of "excellent." Bethel also had more than one winner in oral interpretation and discussion. Julie Palen and Joellyn Beck received "excellent" in oral interpretation, and Carol Shimmin and Bob Elliott were awarded "ex-cellent" in discussion, with Bob placing 9th out of 72. Allie Jo Moore, who had just been a finalist in extemp at Manka-to State the previous week, showed versatility in winning an "excel-lent" in original oratory. Claire Kolmodin was one of six double-winners for Bethel, as she recieved "excellent" in both listen-ing and after dinner speaking. Two teams won "excellent" in debate for Bethel. They were Dan Nelson and Julie Palen in Division II, and Debbie Omanson and Allie Jo Moore in Division III. Also competing in debate were the teams of Al Cooper-Bob Elliott, and Dave Peterson-Carol Shimmin. Dave and Carol, incidenly, had a 4-2 record at Mankato. The next tournament for the team will be at Stout State on De-cember 5, and it looks as though Bethel could win this one. Last year our school placed a close sec-ond; and according to debate coacli Marge Erickson, "All the team's good points should add up to a Bethel victory." photo by bob miko Robert Berglund directs 'traffic' while Julius Whitingcr, Gordon Howell, and Eddie Thomas hold conference on sidelines.

Yes, there are girls at the Boy's Club, but on the girls' side. Bethel and Ober Club provide 800 Thanksgiving dinners by Gabriel Ofotokun Rightly enough, the topic for this year's Mission Week is "Run-ning While the Sun is Up." As we evaluate our success or failure in the field of missions, I would like us to ask ourselves again if run-ners are really needed. There are things fundamental to Christianity such as the belief in one God and the followership of one Christ. I do believe however that the social creed which envel-oped Christianity all over the world today came as a result of man-kind's craving for guidelines which will help him ensure a living as close as possible to the way of Christ. These guidelines have in-evitably been influenced by such factors as race, the prevailing pol-itical climate, and existing social and environmental conditions. Be-cause of these many factors, I shall, in this presentation, address my-self primarily to the missionary need in contemporary Africa. I will also be making particular ref-erence to Nigeria where I belong. As early as about the 12th cen-tury A.D. marked the advent of the European, including mission-aries, into Africa. This does not mean that Christianity in its pri-mary sense is alien to Africa be-cause the people have always be-lieved in a God, but their worship of this God was different from the way of the European missionaries. Most of the natives had a social code of conduct to live by and this code was by and large similar to the Ten Commandments of the Is-raelites. People lived (and many still do) in small isolated commun-ities, usually by families or tribes and the local laws differed from place to place. There were rituals and there were superstitious be-liefs just like in all other parts of the world. But just like Jesus said, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and among his own kinsmen and in his own home," it was understandably different for the kinsmen of the natives to preach against any of these beliefs or pagan rituals. For-eign missionaries who came in therefore got the people excited because: 1) they were different in appearance (like color, clothes, language, etc.) and 2) there was the element of suspense around them —people were anxious to hear what kind of message they brought with them. Many people, through the instrumentality of missionar-ies, came to accept Christ as their personal Saviour and things like cannibalism and many superstitious beliefs were done away with. As a matter of fact, to some people, missionaries were next to God in holiness because they were actu-ally one with the people, showing them what true love was and help-ing them in the art of reading and writing. The Bible thus became a basic textbook for the natives. Unfortunately, however, because of the influence the home govern-ments like Britain, Spain, Portu-gal, Germany, France and Ameri-ca, had over these missionaries it became inevitable for them to get involved in politics. They did this ostensibly in order to get the con-tinued support of their home gov-ernments under whose auspices they came to Africa. As time went on, African nationalist leaders be-gan to increase in number and the cry for independence was heafd in almost every country. Because these foreign powers were unwill-ing to grant independence and be-cause the missionaries had to take sides with these powers, they be-came constant targets of the Af-rican nationalists who rightly re-ferred to them as instruments of oppression. Some of the mission-aries even went to the extreme of arguing that the African was in-capable of governing himself and therefore should be denied inde-pendence. During these political struggles a new face on the mis-sionary was discovered. He was from then on seen as a racist and one who came to Africa to make himself Lord over the people. Be-sides intereference in the local politics, an attempt to change or Westernize our culture was also made. Things fundamental to our society were challenged and de-clared "heathen." Foremost among these "anti-Christian" institutions was polygamy. Many chiefs prefer-red going to hell to giving up any of their wives just to become a "Christian." In order to make the natives more subservient to their authority, the missionaries em-barked upon a program of setting them against one another. Our churches became segregated as special sitting arrangements were instituted. "Members" sat in the front row of seats while "non-mem-bers," including the big chiefs, who traditionally should have the bet-ter seats, were relegated to the background. Gabriel Ofotokun There is a Latin proverb which says: "The times are changed and we with them." The times have indeed changed and we wonder why man is unwilling to change with it. With advanced communi-cation systems and greatly improv-ed ease of mobility, Africans have infiltrated practically every nook and corner of the world and are living witnesses to what operates in the missionary's own home. Af-ricans find it difficult to reconcile the two faces of the missionary who is extra-anxious to come over to us and preach God's love and the equality of mankind but who at the same time is either passive about or refuses to be effective in launching an all-out c r us a de against the racial segregation in his home church, a segregation against people who are no less black than we are. African intellectuals are becom-ing more and more skeptical about missionaries or European "Chris-tians" whose passions can easily be whipped on matters affecting Af-rica whereas when men of their own race are involved their pas-sion becomes deadened. A typical example of this is the pseudo-hu-manitarian cries to European "Christians" about the Nigerian civil war. Missionaries did not only decry the killings but took force-ful steps to feed, according to them, "starved and oppressed Biaf-rians." They reached the Biafrians without regard for the integrity of the Nigerian government and with a defiance of our air space rights. However, the war in Vietnam and the Middle East involving Rus-sia and America, Britain and France has been on for ages but these same missionaries have been blind to the need to organize the sending of relief materials by force (if necessary) to the suffering masses. The devastation of agricul-turally rich lands and the genocid-al killing of mankind are areas where the missionary has shown concern in Africa but at the same time these are areas where he has found it necessary to be quiet when his race is involved. It is indeed ironical. When, a few years ago, the rac-ist regime in South Africa mas-sacred a few hundred African free-dom fighters, the European mis-sionaries in Africa at that time pretended as if they were ignorant of the gory incident but when an African kills a fellow African, the missionary becomes conscious of the value of life and does not hes-itate to send letters home to re-port the "barbaric" nature of the people he is having to put up with in the name of Christ. Ladies and gentlemen, African nationalists have suffered a great deal from the hands of European imperialists who came under the cloak of Christianity and have found it inevitable to influence the religious lives of the people they govern. The natural tendency of the African to be hospitable to strangers has been grossly misun-derstood and unduly exploited and right now Africans are in an era of total awareness and self-recov-ery. We are doing all we can to live our traditional way of life en-tirely free from the cliches attach-ed to the kind of Christianity brought in by missionaries. Afri-cans have become extra-sensitive about, and are watching with keen vigilance, the activities of mission-aries in their homes, especially now that these activities have po-litical and racial overtones. Many people have asked me about substituting professional mis-sionaries (like doctors, teachers, engineers, etc.) for evangelical missionaries. This I can say for sure about my country, Nigeria: we are trying desperately to min-ister to our manpower need and the government has set up a pro-gram that will speed up the sup-ply of Nigerian professionals to take care of all aspects of our life. We are sick and tired of aids corn-ing in with strings attached and we will no more accept them. You all, I'm sure, will remember that at the end of our civil war, our head of state, His Excellency, Ma-jor Gen. Yakubu Gowon, refused to accept any relief supply from such countries as France, Portu-gal, and even the United States, which had anything to do with the sustenance of the rebellion. We do not want people to continue spoon-feeding us, and refusing us the chance to grow. We will rather have our own nationals trained to man our businesses than have Eu-ropeans, whether missionary or otherwise, come in and dictate the pace of our development and the form of our politics and religion. My fellow Christian brothers and sisters, my primary aim in this presentation has not been to dis-credit the missionary program but to make you realize in no mistaken terms, the areas wherein I think we have erred in the past. This is because I believe that when we know our mistakes, then and only then, can we grow in Christ and also be effective in being God's in-struments for the dissemination of His precious word. May the Lord bless and keep us and may He en-able us to live together peacefully, despite the differences in our race, culture and politics. William Hill expresses his feelings about Jesus To the editor: Say it loud—I'm black and proud. To be black in this country is to be a "nigger." To be a "nigger" is to resist both white and Negro death. It is to be free in spirit, if not in body. This word, "nigger," which is taboo in Negro and white America, becomes meaningful in the black community. Among blacks it is not uncommon to hear the words, "my nigger", (addressed to a brother as an expression of kinship and broth-erhood and respect for having resisted), or "He's a bad nigger" meaning that he'll stand up for himself. He won't let you down. He'll go down wain you. Blacks know, however, that no matter how much or how hard Ne-groes and whites may try, ultimately it will be the Negro and his allies who will "Die, die, die!" "America calling Negroes. Can you dance? Play foot/baseball Nanny? Look': Needed now. Negroes Who can entertain only. Others not wanted. (and are considered extremely dangerous.)"—Don L. Lee After W.W. II, the second war to end all wars, the world would now be safe for democracy. Every black birth in America is political. With each new birth comes a potential challenge to the existing order. Each new generation brings forth untested militancy. America's ruling class now experiences what Herod must have at the birth of Christ. "Go and search—and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also." America doesn't know which black birth is going to be the birth that will overthrow this country. Here at Bethel college people often tell others that "They know they are going to heaven" because they have let Jesus come into their lives. Many people don't even understand another person who is himself. But so many people here often just talk on a one way street. These peo-ple already know who are wrong because they think that they are so right. When I think of the way some of the people on campus think this poem comes to my mind. THIS JESUS This Jesus God, He's beautiful. I mean, He's really great. He's not at all pretty or "sick-beautiful" Like those pictures of Him that Christians hang on their walls. He's not like that at all. He's real He's got soul What He did is something else There's nothing like it. You see, When this Jesus came on the scene God was like a stranger to people. Oh, they thought they knew Him, But they didn't really. Jesus knew Him. That's why He didn't fit in With other people. He was Himself. He didn't have to copy anyone. He did what He had to do and kept on doing it until they couldn't take it any longer. So they killed Him. He did His thing Because He was Jesus. He wasn't trying to be someone else. He was tough. He cut through all the phoney ideas Of the priests and leaders and told them the truth. and He still does. He really knows the truth about God, and it's wild. "Your God is a stranger," He keeps saying, "And you keep building a wall to keep God away Because you're scared to face Him, I mean, really face Him. Well, I can blast any wall, any evil, any box you make for God or for yourself. I busted the biggest prison of all When I jumped out of my grave And showed the world That God is not some stranger, or sleeping grandfather." "He's your Father and mine. You kicked Him out of your house, but you can't get rid of Him and you can't kill His love, any more than you can kill me. Your Father and I have started a revolution to break open every house, family, city, room, heart, society, organization, planet that locks people's lives and blocks their view of God."—Interrobang, p. 29, by Norman C. Habel. This Jesus is beautiful. To understand someone who is different is beautiful. To be able to communicate is wonderful—to the heart. Power to the people.

I came from an integrated high school but it involved a segregated culture. We just did not mix. Oh sure, I played on athletic teams with the blacks, but there we were equal, we were trying to achieve the same goal. Outside of that ev-erything was different, because at any given moment he would look down on me and I on him. Why didn't I make an effort to break the barrier? Good question, prob' ably for the same reason he didn't, too proud. Willie, you brought up some good points but because I'm proud, like you, I feel that I must throw them away. I feel that you are guilty of making too many gener-alizations when talking about the white man and the Christian. You see I find it hard to visualize that if roles were switched it would be any different. We are only human, both of us, and I cannot expect humans to be completely gracious when another threatens his exist-ence. Also your argument can go both ways. Why should we pay our "precious" white man's money on housing developments for the blacks or waste it for special riot control protecting us from them? Of course all blacks do not riot— and all whites are not as you pic-tured them either. So you should see why as a white man I must say get lost to Gregory, Skinner and H. Rap Brown because its hard for me to believe that you can con-struct anything with a destructive mind. That has been my culture, this has been my raising. Yours has been the opposite. But I am a Christian and the first thing I should do is ask you to forgive me for putting you out of my mind, for turning you off. I have before me a problem though; because I don't believe in what you by Betty Eckstrom A lot of people are talking about, hearing about, writing about, read-ing about and thinking about "Women's Liberation." What "Wo-men's Liberation" has come to mean is anybody's guess for it touches on innumerable areas."Wo-men's Liberation," be it a move-ment, mentality, spirit of the age, or whatever, probably began when women started to push for en-franchisement. As to how far it will go, well, that is one question which has caused much specula-tion. Another area, one most vital to the Christian community, hasn't really been considered it seems, That is, or should be, the role of today's Christian woman in the church. A few weeks ago this was the topic for discussion during Vespers at the New Dorm. Several had been thinking about it, reading in the Bible, and talking about it for a while. Although some tentative conclusions were made, the con-viction grew that it would be good to talk about it in a larger group. So we did. Though that particular evening's discussion lasted less than an hour, it got people think-ing. Thinking about what? Well, for one thing, women have served in Martin Mauk stand for I can't communicate with you. I listened to the tape of your talk in chapel five times and I must agree, I don't understand you; but you do not understand me either. Yes, you know me, you were taught me, but you don't under-stand me. Since in essence what you say destroys my culture and my existence then I must turn you off and stand even stronger on what I have; myself, my God and my beliefs. For this is my life and to agree with what you say would destroy it. I'm afraid that this is true with the majority of students here at Bethel. They want to listen and they want to hear what you have to say, but you are destroying their history, you knock them, their an-cestors and then their beliefs. And yet you expect them to listen and try to understand. I'm sorry Willie, but I am a white man too rooted in my beliefs to bite that much off and still be able to chew and swal-low it. You must try another way with me. You see you think black is beau-tiful and I'll give you that, but you must allow to us the idea that white is also beautiful and that through God both might have something constructive to offer. You have white paper and black ink, both with a purpose and iden-tity, but it's not until they have been put together that something meaningful can be said. Martin Mauk '72 many places in the church. There is a movement in several denom-inations to allow women greater freedom and mobility. If you at-tended a church for the first time and discovered that the woman on the platform was the minister, how would you react? A month ago such a question was hypothetical. A month from now it will be a reality in some places. Even as a question in reference to a hypo-thetical situation, the reaction to it at Vespers was startled honesty: "I don't think I'd appreciate it as much"; "I could see a woman in every place of authority except ..." "An exceptional woman—perhaps, but a man is preferable." Thinking about what? Just as not all Christian men are called to be pastors, so Christian women are not all called to be missionaries or to assume some other place of vis-ible authority. So—what? "Women are to support their husbands." "A lot of Sunday school teachers are women." "Women can and should intercede for those in places of au-thority." "A woman probably has more influence in the home on the children. That's no small respon-sibility." Thinking about what? "It's fine to talk about husbands and wives and their responsibilities, but none To the editor: "We go to school in a cracker-box." Dr. Bob Smith said this in 1967. What have we done since then? In 1956 Bethel had less than 500 students enrolled in the Collegie, Also in 1956 studies were begun to look into the possibilities of de-veloping and expanding the pres-ent and to look for alternate sites for a new campus. In 1959 a recommendation was made to purchase land in Arden Hills for expanding purposes. In studying the possibilities, it was concluded that by 1980 the present 81/2 acre campus would be too con-jested, according to President Carl Lundquist. The further expansion of the present campus on Snelling Avenue is limited due to the pre-mium prices of land and also the desire of the Fair Grounds to acquire more land too. Compar-ative figures indicated that a 200 acre new campus would probably cost only 30% more than expand-ing the present campus to a 23 acre campus paying the same price for land and building. In 1961 Bethel acquired the Arden Hills campus for only $250,000. In June of 1964 the Baptist Gen-eral Conference pledged $3,000,- 000 to start building the seminary complex, but at the time building was begun the Conference Board had only $1.5 million and by July the Board modified the budget to $2,000,000. In 1967 the class rooms and the apartments for the sem-inary were completed and con-struction was begun on the first College Dormitory which was fi-nanced by a very generous person. The estimated cost of the Col-lege in 1961 was $10,000,000, but by 1969 the inflation has over dou-bled the cost. At the March meeting of the Board of Regents, the Board set a starting date to begin building of the new College in 1971 and work for 1973 as the goal for full oc-cupancy of the new facilities. Pres-ident Lundquist said, "that even to be more realistic to look for full occupancy by 1974." The question is, who should pay for the College and where should the money come from? The tuition in 1960 was $285 per semester and has now more than tripled, if you include room and board. The current fund for rev-enue of student fees is $1,885,000, of us (at the Dorm) are wives or husbands. What about the role of a single woman, or man? After all, that is what we are now, that is where we are now." There are the orthodox outlets: Sunday school teacher, pianist, junior church leader, girls group leader, etc., etc. There are those of "less" orthodox though who say, "If I'm a full time Christian, then what I do is full time Christian service." Thinking about what? Thinking what? We've made no dogmatic conclusions. If our thinking can be condensed, it is to this: what is needed is trust in God to lead us together as a family and to trust in each other. Then, whatever role we take will be a service, not only a role. Hertz Student Vacation Special Going home for the holidays? Or maybe you're going skiing with the gang.

Last year our Conference was budgeted to give over $570,000 but ended up giving only $97,000 which is less than one-sixth of the amount that was budgeted according to the 69 Annual. This year the budget according to the newly released Financial Statements of a period from June-October of 1970, for conference church contributions is for $433,200. To date we have re-ceived $108,625 which is $4,000 short of the anticipated amount for the ending of the five-month pe-riod. This by the way is less than one-fourth the amount of student fees. The Conference has also set a goal for the 1970-1971 of $4,000,- 000 for the Centennial Year, but according to Student body Presi-dent Elden Elseth they have al-ready begun to cut this little by little. Also a fund raising company, McFadzean had raised only $600 in the five-month period from June-October of 1970, which is far behind the expected amount which was stated in the Financial State-ments for June-October of this year. The Baptist General Conference has well over 101,000 members, and in 1969 according to the Con-ference 69 Annual, the total con-tributions for that year were $21,- 106,754. This many times seems quite impressive, but looking at the average income of the actual church member, which is over $3,- 000 per person on the average, the amount which was received is not in accordance with Our Lord's plan, or law. Looking at the number of mem-bers 101,000, let's round off to 100,000 members and the income is $3,000 per member, ten percent of this total is $30,000,000, which is almost $9,000,000 more than the total contributions received. Within two years Bethel College Continued on page 4 Criticism of new curriculum too early To the editor: Your editorial regarding the new curriculum is, at best, premature unless students know more than the average faculty about the im-plementation as well as final de-tails of the new. To the best of our knowledge there is one area only in whcih the possibility of a spe-cific distribution requirement is still under consideration (i.e., a bi-cultural experience). The question of rhetoric proficiency has already been determined. I happen to feel that a liberally-educated person ought to have had some exposure to history but the department will not push for a specific require-ment. The faculty has not even been apprized as to the details of im-plementing the new curriculum. Give the appropriate committees time to function thoughtfully, then examine their conclusions, please. the CLARION Published weekly during the academic year, except during vacation and exami- Dr. Roy C. Dalton Only the question of language pro-ficiency examinations under the new curriculum has been decided by the faculty. The question of whether non-incoming freshmen will be bound by the previous language (and other specific) re-quirements has not been debated by the faculty. Don't jump the gun! I would like especially to re-spond to your concluding senten-ces: "For seniors there is no hope. We're stuck with the old curricu-lum, so try and make the best of it." To faculty colleagues I might well say (as I think in more pessi-mistic moments): "We're stuck with the same old students, for whom intellectual development ranks low in the scale of priorities for being in college. Further, among these same old students there is an indifference to the needs of those whose socio-econc omit level does not parallel their own. There is an abysmal ignor-ance of the contemporary scene on even the level of awareness that could be reached simply by scan-ning newspapers that are readily accessible in the library and in some of the residences. There is an apathy as faculty raise concerns in the context of courses in that much - maligned old curriculum. There is satisfaction with medioc-rity when an opportunity is af-forded to stretch the mind." A new slicing of the pie (in large measure I am afraid that is alto-gether too much the truth about the new curriculum) will be no cure-all for basic problems of mo-tivation which is, after all, as much the responsibility of individual students as of the faculty who teach them, or of such an abstract thing as the curriculum. The same old students: mediocre in ability, lethargic in concern, of-ten rude and inconsiderate, seem-ingly incapable of exercising a grateful heart, lax in Christian discipline and discipleship. A dim view. The same old students: often magnificently kind, learning in-creasingly to use talents, intellec-tual and otherwise, to the glory of God, learning to love, however fal-teringly, coming alive despite com-fortable middle-class backgrounds to the needs of fellow human be-ings, sometimes saying "thank you" to a faculty member who is trying to live and communicate the life of Christ as he makes the most of that Continued on page 4 nation periods, by the students of Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. 55101.

His Political Action com-mittee supports four full time lob-byists in Washington. These four people had a definite influence upon the recent decision to lower the voting age in Minnesota. Doug travels to Washington ev-ery six weeks to meet with other NEA officers. During previous trips he has taken part in lobbying for lowering the voting age. He has also been interviewed on local ra-dio and television as a representa-tive of NEA's stand on the voting age. Recently Doug was present in Sacramento at the television regis-tering of California's first 18 year old voter. While in California Doug worked with NEA members there to set up a Political Action Clinic for people in the 18-21 age brack-et. The clinic is designed to give information on voter registration (where to vote and why to vote) and lobbying procedures. A simi-lar clinic is planned for Minnesota. Doug has also been directly in-volved in surveying various politi-cal candidates and publishing their viewpoints to show NEA members who is sympathetic to the NEA cause. 2. Chairman of NEA's Human Relations Council The council is presently working on three main projects. First, they are concerned with recruiting mi-nority group members into the teacher education program. Con-vinced that minority group mem-bers are more effective inner city teachers, the council is working on scholarships for prospective teach-ers among minority college stu-dents. Secondly, the council is devel-oping student teacher exchange program. The program will oper-ate within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries. A possible program for this summer is exchanging student teachers with Denmark to allow a study of another culture. Thirdly, the council is doing a comparative study on student un-rest. Three representative council members are gathering film clip-pings and touring various college campuses. The council's goal is to produce a filmstrip and book on student unrest in the U.S. within the next five months. Fault . . . Dick Henry Continued from page 3 could be relocated with the amount of money needed which by tithing would be received in that period. In Malachi 3:10 and in Luke 18:12 God tells each of us to tithe. Each member of the Conference would then be tithing the average amount of $300 per person and in two years the Conference could have almost $18,000,000 which would be more than enough to relocate the entire campus with the revenue from selling the old campus. Therefore it is up to our con-ference churches and since each member is part of the conference churches, it is up to us (if we are members) to support our church by giving back to God what is rightfully His by Scripture. If we as Christians are truly doing what God wants, we will give 10% of our income out of love. If we do not give out of love we must give out of duty, BECAUSE God has COMMANDED it of us as His "Sons and Daughters" in both the Old Testament and New Ttesta-ment. If we loved God enough and trusted in Him completely Bethel College would be out at Arden Hills today, but we still can make it by 1974 only if the entire mem-bership of the Baptist General Conference begin to live a "Chris-tian life" and to turn to God and follow His command not only in tithing, but to love Him and by this act we can give all (material and spiritual things to Him. Dick Henry '73 Curriculum . . . D. Dalton Continued from page 3 old curriculum. That old curriculum: how many students exercised their free choice of social sciences electives to take such courses as Social Problems, Crime and Delinquency, Intergroup Relations, The Church as a Social Institution, Population Problems, Industry and Society, The Commu-nity, or Urbanization? A strong sense of urgency for revision of the old curriculum was to make the new "relevant" and "concern oriented." Will a new slicing of the pie and the labeling of courses as "concern oriented" produce graduates who are any more alive to their contemporary world than the old, in which the courses were there, but the inner motivation of the Spirit of God who produces concern apparently wasn't? Roy C. Dalton Jean Lindblom by Joey Healy Twenty-five years is a long time to supply candy to about sixty people, but that's how long Jean Lindblom has been doing it. Oh, yes . . . she's also Bethel college faculty secretary. As a matter of fact, she has done a number of additional jobs, as well. While holding down her present position, she has occasion-ally run the switchboard and the coffee shop, and served as post mistress "for ten or fifteen years." She has also been receptionist and secretary in the main office. In short, Jean has always filled in wherever necessary. When certain Bethel professors were in the process of writing textbooks, Jean ended up typing a chapter a week. She has typed four complete books, parts of ad-ditional books, and numerous ar-ticles for professors. "Everybody did two or three jobs in those days; we never felt misused," says Jean. "There are times in any job when you think it's not worth it, because of pres-sure and getting over-tired. But on the whole it's a good job." Jean receives late typing re-quests from professors every now and then. Her reaction? "So often things get done at the last minute. At times it does get irritating, but you just learn to work around it. I guess it's like a woman who thinks she's going to change her husband—and is wrong . . ." (hopefully). Chris Weintz, English professor, makes the following observations: "During the past decade and a half, whenever I have come into Jean's office, I have been greeted with a friendly smile, treated to sweets and goodies, helped in the dis-patching of tons of departmental paper work, and assisted in the completion of exacting, profession-al manuscripts. In my own Bethel yearbook she rates the 'dedicated to' page!" Jeannine Bohlmeyer, English professor, comments on Jean's ded-ication: "Because Jean works for the entire faculty instead of for a specific individual, she tends to be taken for granted. She never takes her work for granted, however. She can turn a scratch copy of a test or an outline into a precisely typed stencil, often doing so even at the last moment when someone wants Jean to compensate for his own lack of planning ahead. She by Wendell Wahlin The first blanket of fluffy snow has fallen and the slumbering Bethel Ski Club enthusiasts are be-ginning to waken. Up until now the absence of snow has not meant, however, that the Ski Club has really been hibernating. With an enthusiastic staff of officers, Mark Waller, president of the club, re-ports that the club's activities at present, as well as planning for the future, are going great. Mark claims a great year of skiing for experienced and novice alike is in the offing. can usually even smile at such im-positions." Summing up her feelings toward Bethel and her job, Jean says, "Bethel has provided the oppor-tunity for me to develop many friendships; it has provided me with a variety of work experien-ces; and it has helped me to a deeper and fuller understanding of my personal faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. "As in all jobs, there are the satisfying, good times and there are the frustrating, discouraging times. Here at Bethel, I have found the good and satisfying to far out-weigh the other. "In other words, I like it here." Officers for the year are Mark, president, Greg Brunko, secretary, Julie Palen, vice-president, Linda Gaasrud, t r ea s u r e r, and Sue Neav, trip manager. Dr. Robert Stein (alias Billy Kidd) has accept-ed the position of advisor, and Ed-gren's own Howard Engnell will be along as well. So far, twenty-two girls and guys have joined and with the publication of the agenda of activities it is hoped more will decide to come along. With the five-dollar membership fee members are given a thirty per cent discount on a fine-quality, im-ported Demitree ski sweater, dis-counts on tow rates at area ski re-sorts, and very reasonably priced weekend ski trips with the group. Weekend ski trip have been set for January 15-17 to Indianhead in Michigan, February 4-7 to Lutsen in northeastern Minnesota, Febru-ary 19-21 to Indianhead once again, and March 5-7 back to Lutsen, that being the end of the weekend trips. The first ski excursion will be on December 10 the club will spend the entire day at Afton Alps—tru-ly a unique way of celebrating the end of a semester. Night excur-sions to the Afton Alps slopes will follow on January 21 and 28, Feb-ruary 11 and 25, and March 11 and 25. For any interested in obtaining more information concerning the club and its activities, Mark en-courages you to see himself, any of the officers, or any of the mem-bers. The school does have a lim-ited number of poles and skiis for those who wish to enjoy the snow but cannot afford to deck them-selves with new equipment. This year marks the first big year for the Bethel Ski Club. With a larger number of kids involved, more extensive planning, enthu-siasm among the officers, and spe-cial rates for the group skiing, the outlook for skiing and especially Bethel skiers on the slopes is more than good, it's great! by Sharon Swanson 3.

Women's choir travels east on interim tour Friday, December 4, 1970 the CLARION Page 5 Widow pens poetic tribute to husband To the editor: When a man walks quietly in the course of his duty, Serves faithfully, waits to study a thing through thoroughly, Thinks deeply before speaking, then speaks from his store Of understanding with usual quiet smile but no strident tones, . . . Is he heard? Is such a man's life marked and noted? Or, is he passed by unnoticed? When a man can teach a calculus class or conduct combined choirs, Encouraging the wayward and slow and the eager and apt, alike With his zest and his warmth and never-barbed wit, And leave his mark upon many, Can lecture with simple clarity or direct with a studied precision From a warm and responsive and sensitive soul, And leave the sure feeling, "I am wiser and richer and better For having known him," ... Is he missed when no longer among us? Is such a man's life, when it fades (as the flower of grass which is Man's life inevitably fades from this earth), then forgotten? When intervening years have arched four twelve-months of time Across the span of our lives since we lost him . . . Is he remembered? Are the marks that he left in his passing still apparent—anywhere? Have they lasted? God grant it be so, (though some have eroded). Is it so among some still at Bethel who knew him, respected him, As one of God's quiet staunch heroes? It is so for one who with all her heart loved him, lived beside him, Knew almo3t no fault in him, remembers . . . and still misses .. . One of God's quiet great men. —Marilyn K.

Combining the works of the mas-ters, Handel, Schubert, and Brahms with more contemporary anthems, hymn tunes, and spirituals, the choir employs modern speech choir techniques in weaving its sacred repertoire together. Says Oliver Mogck, conductor of the choir, "The program has great built-in interest and variety for the listener. In developing our concert programs, we seek to carry out several musical, educational, and spiritual objectives, recognizing that in each audience there are listeners with a wide range of mu-sical tastes and emotional and spir-itual needs." Unusual numbers on the reper-toire include "When Jesus Wept" by the early American composer, William Billings, featuring a re-corder accompaniment. Among the great hymns and anthems of praise to be sung will be "0 Come Let Us Sing Unto The Lord" (Pslams 95) by the contemporary American composer Kent Newbury. Small vo- Miss Mom's baking!

The play, based on the best selling nov-el, Tell No Man, by Adela Rogers St. Johns, really "hits home" in its relevance to today's church. Hank Gavin, a successful busi-nessman, is led to Christ's service in the ministry—much to his wife's dismay. His heartbreak over his wife's rejection, his fears in the face of his new church, and his trials in coping with indignant church members—this is what Greater Love is all about. The play deals with problems of the Christian life, especially doubt and faith. In writing and directing the play, Steve Pederson has aim-ed to provide not only entertain-ment, but a spiritually enlighten-ing, dramatic experience. It is the ultimate goal of the director that evangelicals come to realize the power of sincere religious drama and music.

The Hot Corner by Rich Zaderaka The winter sports schedule goes into full swing this weekend, with two basketball games and a wrestling meet. Friday evening the Royal cagers tangle with Carleton at Northfield, Minnesota, and Saturday they'll travel to Sioux Falls in South Dakota. Tomorrow Bethel's grapplers open their season with a meet against UMD beginning at 2:00. Going into the weekend the basketball team has a record of 2-1. Granted they didn't look too tough against Valley City Monday night; but the Vikings were the NDCAC Champions last year. The Royals were-n't able to match VC on the boards, were sloppy in their offense (20 turn-overs) and had a lot of shots that just wouldn't drop. Things won't get any easier as they play five of their next six op-ponents on the road. But look for a continued improvement as the team gains experience. Ron Troxel (Ron Lewis) . . ."And now here with the pregame show is the voice of the Bethel Royals, Rock Rozin." Rich Zaderaka (Rock Rozin) . . . "Thank you Ron. Hello everybody, and welcome to Bethel College basketball on WBCS-1050." So begins the play by play of Bethel basketball. Ron and Rich are going to broadcast all home games as well as a few away games. They've had a rough time getting through the red tape of getting everything arranged for away broadcasts. Hopefully they will broadcast live three games be-fore Christmas. These are Carle-ton tonight, Sioux Falls tomorrow, and Mankato State next Wednes-day. Rich feels that "the station is one of the college's biggest as-sets." It can be invaluable in help-ing to boost student spirit on campus, through broadcast of away games that most students couldn't get to." "The difficulties are many," says Rich. "Sometimes we don't get the visitors' roster in time to really learn it well." In spite of this Ron and Rich plug away at it "because we enjoy doing it." If student interest is great GRID PIX After what happened to the Vikings last week, I'll go with some upsets this time; the primary one being the Bears over the Vikes. I'm assuming that quarterback Gary Cuozzo won't play. Of course, the Bears stole five of Johnny Unitas' aerials last week so even Cuozzo could have a rough time should be ready to go on Saturday. Season mark is 67- 40-8.

Financial support of the game broadcasts will be required of the student senate so be sure to let your student senator know, if you think the broadcasts are worthwhile. The games can be picked up on 1050 A.M. or in the coffee shop. You might even catch Ron and Rich doing an ST-10 or talking about FRT (to use their personal jargon).

The team has won two and lost one. The first win was over the Dordt Defenders by a humbling score of 74-65. Aggres-sive play by Doug Fargo and fine ball handling and shooting by the guards, Dan Larson, Jim Delich, and Steve Scroggins aided the team in defeating Dordt. Doug Far-go lead the team in rebounds and scored 25 points. Steve Scroggins, Jim Delich, and Dan Larson con-tributed 12, 11, and 10 points re-spectively. Last Saturday the Royals travel-ed to Ashland, Wisconsin, to take on the Northland Lumberjacks. The game was tight all the way. Bethel led by three at the half, and then came out and opened up to a nine point lead, the largest of the game. With nine seconds left in the game the Lumberjacks were awarded two free throws, making one. With the score Bethel 76, Northland 77, Bethel called a time out to set up a play. Steve Scroggins got the ball and shot a twenty footer which missed leav-ing a tense three seconds of the game. Gordy Nordmark then leap-ed high in the air and tipped the ball in to give Bethel a 78-77 edge and their second victory. Leading the Royals in scoring was Steve Scroggins with 26 points and Gor-dy Nordmark with 20. Monday night the Royals were handed their first defeat by a strong team from Valley City State College, 81-58. Down at the half by a score of 45-33, the team was still within striking range. In the sec-ond half the Royals pulled to with-in seven points, but then Valley City poured on the shooting and rebounding to crush the spirit left in the Royals. Valley City was able to exploit the Royals' greatest weakness thus far this season, re-bounding, and managed to turn Bethel's mistakes into points. The Valley City team was one of the tougest teams the Royals will face all season. Steve Scroggins again led the team in scoring with 20 points. Dan Larson, Doug Fargo, and Gordy Nordmark each had 8 points. Injuries, board strength and in-experience all have hurt the per-formance of the Royals. In order to have a successful season the Royals will have to rely on their quickness and strategic team play to win. So far they've been some-what successful, and have every right to look forward to a good season. Time will provide the val-uable playing experience needed by the freshmen. This weekend the Royals take on Carlton College in Northfield and Sioux Falls College at Sioux Falls. The next home game is Saturday, December 12, against Mt. Marty. Girls volleyball play in stale tournament The Bethel volleyball team will finish the season Saturday with the state tournament at Macales-ter. At the end of six matches the B team stood 2-4 and the A team stood 3-3. At the start of the sea-son both teams were defeated by St. Cloud and the B team was also defeated by Eau Claire. Bethel won both matches against St. Catherines and Pillsbury but the games against St. Olaf and Carle-ton ended in defeat. The last reg-ular season match was Wednes-day against Concordia. Good luck at tomorrow's tour-nament!

Festival of Christmas will combime tradition with new innovations by Dave Healy The Festival of Christmas is up-on us. This annual production, fea-turing the combined efforts of the art and music departments, will be given three times this year. On Friday and Saturday, December 4 and 5, the performances will begin at 8 p.m., and the Sunday, Decem-ber 6 showing will be at 3 p.m. The theme for the 1970 Festival is "Immanuel—God With Us." The program consists of three parts: 1) He Has Come; 2) He Is Here; 3) He Is Coming Again. The music, narration, and visual effects have been selected to reflect these three ideas. Music will be provided by the Festival Choir and the Bethel Band. The Festival Choir consists of the Male Chorus, Women's Chorus, College Choir, and "extras"—peo-ple who do not belong to any of the three groups but who join with them to sing for the Festival of Christmas. The music department enthusiastically notes that more of these people have joined the Fes-tival Choir this year than ever be-fore. A special feature of the 1970 Festival will be the performance of guest harpist Lorraine King Wiklander. She will provide ac-companiment for both choir and congregational singing as well as a solo of What Child Is This? by Peter Varros Eight hundred families in the ghetto of St. Paul had a big din-ner along with the rest of us this Thanksgiving partially due to the efforts of Bethel students working with the Union Gospel Mission. The Souls Holiday campaign drew great response from the school, and aided the Ober Boys' Club in distributing eight hundred baskets complete with a turkey in each through the collection of canned goods, turkeys, and cash from con-tributors in the Bethel community. Evan Anderson would like to continue a project where each Bethel student donates three can-ned goods each week to be used for all people in need, not neces-sarily the ghetto, committing as Narration will be done by Ger-ald Healy, Associate Professor of English. This will consist of Scrip-ture and poetry appropriate to the Festival's theme. This year's Festival will include several changes in visual effects, positioning of the choirs, and gen-eral format. No programs will be given out at the beginning of the perform-ance. Instead, after the benedic-tion, choir members will circulate among the audience and pass out souvenir booklets. The art department has moved away from the traditional mural backdrop of years past. Instead they will concentrate on projec-tions against a white background. Although changes have been made, many traditional elements of the Festival have been retained, including the processional, with the choir holding candles and the band and chimes playing Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. Also, the congregational singing of Si-lent Night and the closing Joy to the World will be included. This is only the second year of charging admission to the Festival of Christmas, a measure undertak-en to deal with the over-capacity crowds that have showed up in the past. Ticket sales have progressed very well, with only a few remain-ing for the Sunday afternoon per-formance. to more than a token collection. Throughout the entire distribution, food was backed by an attitude that "we care; Jesus cares," and as His disciples, we want to share the "meat" of our faith in a manner of social interaction. Presently, the senate committee headed by Doug Erickson with Ann Dalton and Ralph Gustafson is working with Evan, Steve Scrog-gins, and Nate Wyatt to raise four hundred dollars for Christmas. Kids will be given four dollars each to buy some new clothes, rather than hand-me-downs, through a downtown store giving a percent-age discount. Evan really thanks all those who gave and hopes we will continue giving in a spirit of love. Bethel debaters continued their winning ways at Bradley Univer-sity on November 20-21. The team placed in the top ten schools in both individual events and debate. Dan Nelson won an award of "su-perior" in extemporeaneous speak-ing to place in the top ten in that event. Debbie Omanson and Bob Elliott also did well with awards of "excellent." Bethel also had more than one winner in oral interpretation and discussion. Julie Palen and Joellyn Beck received "excellent" in oral interpretation, and Carol Shimmin and Bob Elliott were awarded "ex-cellent" in discussion, with Bob placing 9th out of 72. Allie Jo Moore, who had just been a finalist in extemp at Manka-to State the previous week, showed versatility in winning an "excel-lent" in original oratory. Claire Kolmodin was one of six double-winners for Bethel, as she recieved "excellent" in both listen-ing and after dinner speaking. Two teams won "excellent" in debate for Bethel. They were Dan Nelson and Julie Palen in Division II, and Debbie Omanson and Allie Jo Moore in Division III. Also competing in debate were the teams of Al Cooper-Bob Elliott, and Dave Peterson-Carol Shimmin. Dave and Carol, incidenly, had a 4-2 record at Mankato. The next tournament for the team will be at Stout State on De-cember 5, and it looks as though Bethel could win this one. Last year our school placed a close sec-ond; and according to debate coacli Marge Erickson, "All the team's good points should add up to a Bethel victory." photo by bob miko Robert Berglund directs 'traffic' while Julius Whitingcr, Gordon Howell, and Eddie Thomas hold conference on sidelines.

Yes, there are girls at the Boy's Club, but on the girls' side. Bethel and Ober Club provide 800 Thanksgiving dinners by Gabriel Ofotokun Rightly enough, the topic for this year's Mission Week is "Run-ning While the Sun is Up." As we evaluate our success or failure in the field of missions, I would like us to ask ourselves again if run-ners are really needed. There are things fundamental to Christianity such as the belief in one God and the followership of one Christ. I do believe however that the social creed which envel-oped Christianity all over the world today came as a result of man-kind's craving for guidelines which will help him ensure a living as close as possible to the way of Christ. These guidelines have in-evitably been influenced by such factors as race, the prevailing pol-itical climate, and existing social and environmental conditions. Be-cause of these many factors, I shall, in this presentation, address my-self primarily to the missionary need in contemporary Africa. I will also be making particular ref-erence to Nigeria where I belong. As early as about the 12th cen-tury A.D. marked the advent of the European, including mission-aries, into Africa. This does not mean that Christianity in its pri-mary sense is alien to Africa be-cause the people have always be-lieved in a God, but their worship of this God was different from the way of the European missionaries. Most of the natives had a social code of conduct to live by and this code was by and large similar to the Ten Commandments of the Is-raelites. People lived (and many still do) in small isolated commun-ities, usually by families or tribes and the local laws differed from place to place. There were rituals and there were superstitious be-liefs just like in all other parts of the world. But just like Jesus said, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country and among his own kinsmen and in his own home," it was understandably different for the kinsmen of the natives to preach against any of these beliefs or pagan rituals. For-eign missionaries who came in therefore got the people excited because: 1) they were different in appearance (like color, clothes, language, etc.) and 2) there was the element of suspense around them —people were anxious to hear what kind of message they brought with them. Many people, through the instrumentality of missionar-ies, came to accept Christ as their personal Saviour and things like cannibalism and many superstitious beliefs were done away with. As a matter of fact, to some people, missionaries were next to God in holiness because they were actu-ally one with the people, showing them what true love was and help-ing them in the art of reading and writing. The Bible thus became a basic textbook for the natives. Unfortunately, however, because of the influence the home govern-ments like Britain, Spain, Portu-gal, Germany, France and Ameri-ca, had over these missionaries it became inevitable for them to get involved in politics. They did this ostensibly in order to get the con-tinued support of their home gov-ernments under whose auspices they came to Africa. As time went on, African nationalist leaders be-gan to increase in number and the cry for independence was heafd in almost every country. Because these foreign powers were unwill-ing to grant independence and be-cause the missionaries had to take sides with these powers, they be-came constant targets of the Af-rican nationalists who rightly re-ferred to them as instruments of oppression. Some of the mission-aries even went to the extreme of arguing that the African was in-capable of governing himself and therefore should be denied inde-pendence. During these political struggles a new face on the mis-sionary was discovered. He was from then on seen as a racist and one who came to Africa to make himself Lord over the people. Be-sides intereference in the local politics, an attempt to change or Westernize our culture was also made. Things fundamental to our society were challenged and de-clared "heathen." Foremost among these "anti-Christian" institutions was polygamy. Many chiefs prefer-red going to hell to giving up any of their wives just to become a "Christian." In order to make the natives more subservient to their authority, the missionaries em-barked upon a program of setting them against one another. Our churches became segregated as special sitting arrangements were instituted. "Members" sat in the front row of seats while "non-mem-bers," including the big chiefs, who traditionally should have the bet-ter seats, were relegated to the background. Gabriel Ofotokun There is a Latin proverb which says: "The times are changed and we with them." The times have indeed changed and we wonder why man is unwilling to change with it. With advanced communi-cation systems and greatly improv-ed ease of mobility, Africans have infiltrated practically every nook and corner of the world and are living witnesses to what operates in the missionary's own home. Af-ricans find it difficult to reconcile the two faces of the missionary who is extra-anxious to come over to us and preach God's love and the equality of mankind but who at the same time is either passive about or refuses to be effective in launching an all-out c r us a de against the racial segregation in his home church, a segregation against people who are no less black than we are. African intellectuals are becom-ing more and more skeptical about missionaries or European "Chris-tians" whose passions can easily be whipped on matters affecting Af-rica whereas when men of their own race are involved their pas-sion becomes deadened. A typical example of this is the pseudo-hu-manitarian cries to European "Christians" about the Nigerian civil war. Missionaries did not only decry the killings but took force-ful steps to feed, according to them, "starved and oppressed Biaf-rians." They reached the Biafrians without regard for the integrity of the Nigerian government and with a defiance of our air space rights. However, the war in Vietnam and the Middle East involving Rus-sia and America, Britain and France has been on for ages but these same missionaries have been blind to the need to organize the sending of relief materials by force (if necessary) to the suffering masses. The devastation of agricul-turally rich lands and the genocid-al killing of mankind are areas where the missionary has shown concern in Africa but at the same time these are areas where he has found it necessary to be quiet when his race is involved. It is indeed ironical. When, a few years ago, the rac-ist regime in South Africa mas-sacred a few hundred African free-dom fighters, the European mis-sionaries in Africa at that time pretended as if they were ignorant of the gory incident but when an African kills a fellow African, the missionary becomes conscious of the value of life and does not hes-itate to send letters home to re-port the "barbaric" nature of the people he is having to put up with in the name of Christ. Ladies and gentlemen, African nationalists have suffered a great deal from the hands of European imperialists who came under the cloak of Christianity and have found it inevitable to influence the religious lives of the people they govern. The natural tendency of the African to be hospitable to strangers has been grossly misun-derstood and unduly exploited and right now Africans are in an era of total awareness and self-recov-ery. We are doing all we can to live our traditional way of life en-tirely free from the cliches attach-ed to the kind of Christianity brought in by missionaries. Afri-cans have become extra-sensitive about, and are watching with keen vigilance, the activities of mission-aries in their homes, especially now that these activities have po-litical and racial overtones. Many people have asked me about substituting professional mis-sionaries (like doctors, teachers, engineers, etc.) for evangelical missionaries. This I can say for sure about my country, Nigeria: we are trying desperately to min-ister to our manpower need and the government has set up a pro-gram that will speed up the sup-ply of Nigerian professionals to take care of all aspects of our life. We are sick and tired of aids corn-ing in with strings attached and we will no more accept them. You all, I'm sure, will remember that at the end of our civil war, our head of state, His Excellency, Ma-jor Gen. Yakubu Gowon, refused to accept any relief supply from such countries as France, Portu-gal, and even the United States, which had anything to do with the sustenance of the rebellion. We do not want people to continue spoon-feeding us, and refusing us the chance to grow. We will rather have our own nationals trained to man our businesses than have Eu-ropeans, whether missionary or otherwise, come in and dictate the pace of our development and the form of our politics and religion. My fellow Christian brothers and sisters, my primary aim in this presentation has not been to dis-credit the missionary program but to make you realize in no mistaken terms, the areas wherein I think we have erred in the past. This is because I believe that when we know our mistakes, then and only then, can we grow in Christ and also be effective in being God's in-struments for the dissemination of His precious word. May the Lord bless and keep us and may He en-able us to live together peacefully, despite the differences in our race, culture and politics. William Hill expresses his feelings about Jesus To the editor: Say it loud—I'm black and proud. To be black in this country is to be a "nigger." To be a "nigger" is to resist both white and Negro death. It is to be free in spirit, if not in body. This word, "nigger," which is taboo in Negro and white America, becomes meaningful in the black community. Among blacks it is not uncommon to hear the words, "my nigger", (addressed to a brother as an expression of kinship and broth-erhood and respect for having resisted), or "He's a bad nigger" meaning that he'll stand up for himself. He won't let you down. He'll go down wain you. Blacks know, however, that no matter how much or how hard Ne-groes and whites may try, ultimately it will be the Negro and his allies who will "Die, die, die!" "America calling Negroes. Can you dance? Play foot/baseball Nanny? Look': Needed now. Negroes Who can entertain only. Others not wanted. (and are considered extremely dangerous.)"—Don L. Lee After W.W. II, the second war to end all wars, the world would now be safe for democracy. Every black birth in America is political. With each new birth comes a potential challenge to the existing order. Each new generation brings forth untested militancy. America's ruling class now experiences what Herod must have at the birth of Christ. "Go and search—and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also." America doesn't know which black birth is going to be the birth that will overthrow this country. Here at Bethel college people often tell others that "They know they are going to heaven" because they have let Jesus come into their lives. Many people don't even understand another person who is himself. But so many people here often just talk on a one way street. These peo-ple already know who are wrong because they think that they are so right. When I think of the way some of the people on campus think this poem comes to my mind. THIS JESUS This Jesus God, He's beautiful. I mean, He's really great. He's not at all pretty or "sick-beautiful" Like those pictures of Him that Christians hang on their walls. He's not like that at all. He's real He's got soul What He did is something else There's nothing like it. You see, When this Jesus came on the scene God was like a stranger to people. Oh, they thought they knew Him, But they didn't really. Jesus knew Him. That's why He didn't fit in With other people. He was Himself. He didn't have to copy anyone. He did what He had to do and kept on doing it until they couldn't take it any longer. So they killed Him. He did His thing Because He was Jesus. He wasn't trying to be someone else. He was tough. He cut through all the phoney ideas Of the priests and leaders and told them the truth. and He still does. He really knows the truth about God, and it's wild. "Your God is a stranger," He keeps saying, "And you keep building a wall to keep God away Because you're scared to face Him, I mean, really face Him. Well, I can blast any wall, any evil, any box you make for God or for yourself. I busted the biggest prison of all When I jumped out of my grave And showed the world That God is not some stranger, or sleeping grandfather." "He's your Father and mine. You kicked Him out of your house, but you can't get rid of Him and you can't kill His love, any more than you can kill me. Your Father and I have started a revolution to break open every house, family, city, room, heart, society, organization, planet that locks people's lives and blocks their view of God."—Interrobang, p. 29, by Norman C. Habel. This Jesus is beautiful. To understand someone who is different is beautiful. To be able to communicate is wonderful—to the heart. Power to the people.

I came from an integrated high school but it involved a segregated culture. We just did not mix. Oh sure, I played on athletic teams with the blacks, but there we were equal, we were trying to achieve the same goal. Outside of that ev-erything was different, because at any given moment he would look down on me and I on him. Why didn't I make an effort to break the barrier? Good question, prob' ably for the same reason he didn't, too proud. Willie, you brought up some good points but because I'm proud, like you, I feel that I must throw them away. I feel that you are guilty of making too many gener-alizations when talking about the white man and the Christian. You see I find it hard to visualize that if roles were switched it would be any different. We are only human, both of us, and I cannot expect humans to be completely gracious when another threatens his exist-ence. Also your argument can go both ways. Why should we pay our "precious" white man's money on housing developments for the blacks or waste it for special riot control protecting us from them? Of course all blacks do not riot— and all whites are not as you pic-tured them either. So you should see why as a white man I must say get lost to Gregory, Skinner and H. Rap Brown because its hard for me to believe that you can con-struct anything with a destructive mind. That has been my culture, this has been my raising. Yours has been the opposite. But I am a Christian and the first thing I should do is ask you to forgive me for putting you out of my mind, for turning you off. I have before me a problem though; because I don't believe in what you by Betty Eckstrom A lot of people are talking about, hearing about, writing about, read-ing about and thinking about "Women's Liberation." What "Wo-men's Liberation" has come to mean is anybody's guess for it touches on innumerable areas."Wo-men's Liberation," be it a move-ment, mentality, spirit of the age, or whatever, probably began when women started to push for en-franchisement. As to how far it will go, well, that is one question which has caused much specula-tion. Another area, one most vital to the Christian community, hasn't really been considered it seems, That is, or should be, the role of today's Christian woman in the church. A few weeks ago this was the topic for discussion during Vespers at the New Dorm. Several had been thinking about it, reading in the Bible, and talking about it for a while. Although some tentative conclusions were made, the con-viction grew that it would be good to talk about it in a larger group. So we did. Though that particular evening's discussion lasted less than an hour, it got people think-ing. Thinking about what? Well, for one thing, women have served in Martin Mauk stand for I can't communicate with you. I listened to the tape of your talk in chapel five times and I must agree, I don't understand you; but you do not understand me either. Yes, you know me, you were taught me, but you don't under-stand me. Since in essence what you say destroys my culture and my existence then I must turn you off and stand even stronger on what I have; myself, my God and my beliefs. For this is my life and to agree with what you say would destroy it. I'm afraid that this is true with the majority of students here at Bethel. They want to listen and they want to hear what you have to say, but you are destroying their history, you knock them, their an-cestors and then their beliefs. And yet you expect them to listen and try to understand. I'm sorry Willie, but I am a white man too rooted in my beliefs to bite that much off and still be able to chew and swal-low it. You must try another way with me. You see you think black is beau-tiful and I'll give you that, but you must allow to us the idea that white is also beautiful and that through God both might have something constructive to offer. You have white paper and black ink, both with a purpose and iden-tity, but it's not until they have been put together that something meaningful can be said. Martin Mauk '72 many places in the church. There is a movement in several denom-inations to allow women greater freedom and mobility. If you at-tended a church for the first time and discovered that the woman on the platform was the minister, how would you react? A month ago such a question was hypothetical. A month from now it will be a reality in some places. Even as a question in reference to a hypo-thetical situation, the reaction to it at Vespers was startled honesty: "I don't think I'd appreciate it as much"; "I could see a woman in every place of authority except ..." "An exceptional woman—perhaps, but a man is preferable." Thinking about what? Just as not all Christian men are called to be pastors, so Christian women are not all called to be missionaries or to assume some other place of vis-ible authority. So—what? "Women are to support their husbands." "A lot of Sunday school teachers are women." "Women can and should intercede for those in places of au-thority." "A woman probably has more influence in the home on the children. That's no small respon-sibility." Thinking about what? "It's fine to talk about husbands and wives and their responsibilities, but none To the editor: "We go to school in a cracker-box." Dr. Bob Smith said this in 1967. What have we done since then? In 1956 Bethel had less than 500 students enrolled in the Collegie, Also in 1956 studies were begun to look into the possibilities of de-veloping and expanding the pres-ent and to look for alternate sites for a new campus. In 1959 a recommendation was made to purchase land in Arden Hills for expanding purposes. In studying the possibilities, it was concluded that by 1980 the present 81/2 acre campus would be too con-jested, according to President Carl Lundquist. The further expansion of the present campus on Snelling Avenue is limited due to the pre-mium prices of land and also the desire of the Fair Grounds to acquire more land too. Compar-ative figures indicated that a 200 acre new campus would probably cost only 30% more than expand-ing the present campus to a 23 acre campus paying the same price for land and building. In 1961 Bethel acquired the Arden Hills campus for only $250,000. In June of 1964 the Baptist Gen-eral Conference pledged $3,000,- 000 to start building the seminary complex, but at the time building was begun the Conference Board had only $1.5 million and by July the Board modified the budget to $2,000,000. In 1967 the class rooms and the apartments for the sem-inary were completed and con-struction was begun on the first College Dormitory which was fi-nanced by a very generous person. The estimated cost of the Col-lege in 1961 was $10,000,000, but by 1969 the inflation has over dou-bled the cost. At the March meeting of the Board of Regents, the Board set a starting date to begin building of the new College in 1971 and work for 1973 as the goal for full oc-cupancy of the new facilities. Pres-ident Lundquist said, "that even to be more realistic to look for full occupancy by 1974." The question is, who should pay for the College and where should the money come from? The tuition in 1960 was $285 per semester and has now more than tripled, if you include room and board. The current fund for rev-enue of student fees is $1,885,000, of us (at the Dorm) are wives or husbands. What about the role of a single woman, or man? After all, that is what we are now, that is where we are now." There are the orthodox outlets: Sunday school teacher, pianist, junior church leader, girls group leader, etc., etc. There are those of "less" orthodox though who say, "If I'm a full time Christian, then what I do is full time Christian service." Thinking about what? Thinking what? We've made no dogmatic conclusions. If our thinking can be condensed, it is to this: what is needed is trust in God to lead us together as a family and to trust in each other. Then, whatever role we take will be a service, not only a role. Hertz Student Vacation Special Going home for the holidays? Or maybe you're going skiing with the gang.

Last year our Conference was budgeted to give over $570,000 but ended up giving only $97,000 which is less than one-sixth of the amount that was budgeted according to the 69 Annual. This year the budget according to the newly released Financial Statements of a period from June-October of 1970, for conference church contributions is for $433,200. To date we have re-ceived $108,625 which is $4,000 short of the anticipated amount for the ending of the five-month pe-riod. This by the way is less than one-fourth the amount of student fees. The Conference has also set a goal for the 1970-1971 of $4,000,- 000 for the Centennial Year, but according to Student body Presi-dent Elden Elseth they have al-ready begun to cut this little by little. Also a fund raising company, McFadzean had raised only $600 in the five-month period from June-October of 1970, which is far behind the expected amount which was stated in the Financial State-ments for June-October of this year. The Baptist General Conference has well over 101,000 members, and in 1969 according to the Con-ference 69 Annual, the total con-tributions for that year were $21,- 106,754. This many times seems quite impressive, but looking at the average income of the actual church member, which is over $3,- 000 per person on the average, the amount which was received is not in accordance with Our Lord's plan, or law. Looking at the number of mem-bers 101,000, let's round off to 100,000 members and the income is $3,000 per member, ten percent of this total is $30,000,000, which is almost $9,000,000 more than the total contributions received. Within two years Bethel College Continued on page 4 Criticism of new curriculum too early To the editor: Your editorial regarding the new curriculum is, at best, premature unless students know more than the average faculty about the im-plementation as well as final de-tails of the new. To the best of our knowledge there is one area only in whcih the possibility of a spe-cific distribution requirement is still under consideration (i.e., a bi-cultural experience). The question of rhetoric proficiency has already been determined. I happen to feel that a liberally-educated person ought to have had some exposure to history but the department will not push for a specific require-ment. The faculty has not even been apprized as to the details of im-plementing the new curriculum. Give the appropriate committees time to function thoughtfully, then examine their conclusions, please. the CLARION Published weekly during the academic year, except during vacation and exami- Dr. Roy C. Dalton Only the question of language pro-ficiency examinations under the new curriculum has been decided by the faculty. The question of whether non-incoming freshmen will be bound by the previous language (and other specific) re-quirements has not been debated by the faculty. Don't jump the gun! I would like especially to re-spond to your concluding senten-ces: "For seniors there is no hope. We're stuck with the old curricu-lum, so try and make the best of it." To faculty colleagues I might well say (as I think in more pessi-mistic moments): "We're stuck with the same old students, for whom intellectual development ranks low in the scale of priorities for being in college. Further, among these same old students there is an indifference to the needs of those whose socio-econc omit level does not parallel their own. There is an abysmal ignor-ance of the contemporary scene on even the level of awareness that could be reached simply by scan-ning newspapers that are readily accessible in the library and in some of the residences. There is an apathy as faculty raise concerns in the context of courses in that much - maligned old curriculum. There is satisfaction with medioc-rity when an opportunity is af-forded to stretch the mind." A new slicing of the pie (in large measure I am afraid that is alto-gether too much the truth about the new curriculum) will be no cure-all for basic problems of mo-tivation which is, after all, as much the responsibility of individual students as of the faculty who teach them, or of such an abstract thing as the curriculum. The same old students: mediocre in ability, lethargic in concern, of-ten rude and inconsiderate, seem-ingly incapable of exercising a grateful heart, lax in Christian discipline and discipleship. A dim view. The same old students: often magnificently kind, learning in-creasingly to use talents, intellec-tual and otherwise, to the glory of God, learning to love, however fal-teringly, coming alive despite com-fortable middle-class backgrounds to the needs of fellow human be-ings, sometimes saying "thank you" to a faculty member who is trying to live and communicate the life of Christ as he makes the most of that Continued on page 4 nation periods, by the students of Bethel College, St. Paul, Minn. 55101.

NEA Chairman of Political Action Doug works with a $40,000 budget and heads up different programs to gain the political action NEA wants. His Political Action com-mittee supports four full time lob-byists in Washington. These four people had a definite influence upon the recent decision to lower the voting age in Minnesota. Doug travels to Washington ev-ery six weeks to meet with other NEA officers. During previous trips he has taken part in lobbying for lowering the voting age. He has also been interviewed on local ra-dio and television as a representa-tive of NEA's stand on the voting age. Recently Doug was present in Sacramento at the television regis-tering of California's first 18 year old voter. While in California Doug worked with NEA members there to set up a Political Action Clinic for people in the 18-21 age brack-et. The clinic is designed to give information on voter registration (where to vote and why to vote) and lobbying procedures. A simi-lar clinic is planned for Minnesota. Doug has also been directly in-volved in surveying various politi-cal candidates and publishing their viewpoints to show NEA members who is sympathetic to the NEA cause. 2. Chairman of NEA's Human Relations Council The council is presently working on three main projects. First, they are concerned with recruiting mi-nority group members into the teacher education program. Con-vinced that minority group mem-bers are more effective inner city teachers, the council is working on scholarships for prospective teach-ers among minority college stu-dents. Secondly, the council is devel-oping student teacher exchange program. The program will oper-ate within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries. A possible program for this summer is exchanging student teachers with Denmark to allow a study of another culture. Thirdly, the council is doing a comparative study on student un-rest. Three representative council members are gathering film clip-pings and touring various college campuses. The council's goal is to produce a filmstrip and book on student unrest in the U.S. within the next five months. Fault . . . Dick Henry Continued from page 3 could be relocated with the amount of money needed which by tithing would be received in that period. In Malachi 3:10 and in Luke 18:12 God tells each of us to tithe. Each member of the Conference would then be tithing the average amount of $300 per person and in two years the Conference could have almost $18,000,000 which would be more than enough to relocate the entire campus with the revenue from selling the old campus. Therefore it is up to our con-ference churches and since each member is part of the conference churches, it is up to us (if we are members) to support our church by giving back to God what is rightfully His by Scripture. If we as Christians are truly doing what God wants, we will give 10% of our income out of love. If we do not give out of love we must give out of duty, BECAUSE God has COMMANDED it of us as His "Sons and Daughters" in both the Old Testament and New Ttesta-ment. If we loved God enough and trusted in Him completely Bethel College would be out at Arden Hills today, but we still can make it by 1974 only if the entire mem-bership of the Baptist General Conference begin to live a "Chris-tian life" and to turn to God and follow His command not only in tithing, but to love Him and by this act we can give all (material and spiritual things to Him. Dick Henry '73 Curriculum . . . D. Dalton Continued from page 3 old curriculum. That old curriculum: how many students exercised their free choice of social sciences electives to take such courses as Social Problems, Crime and Delinquency, Intergroup Relations, The Church as a Social Institution, Population Problems, Industry and Society, The Commu-nity, or Urbanization? A strong sense of urgency for revision of the old curriculum was to make the new "relevant" and "concern oriented." Will a new slicing of the pie and the labeling of courses as "concern oriented" produce graduates who are any more alive to their contemporary world than the old, in which the courses were there, but the inner motivation of the Spirit of God who produces concern apparently wasn't? Roy C. Dalton Jean Lindblom by Joey Healy Twenty-five years is a long time to supply candy to about sixty people, but that's how long Jean Lindblom has been doing it. Oh, yes . . . she's also Bethel college faculty secretary. As a matter of fact, she has done a number of additional jobs, as well. While holding down her present position, she has occasion-ally run the switchboard and the coffee shop, and served as post mistress "for ten or fifteen years." She has also been receptionist and secretary in the main office. In short, Jean has always filled in wherever necessary. When certain Bethel professors were in the process of writing textbooks, Jean ended up typing a chapter a week. She has typed four complete books, parts of ad-ditional books, and numerous ar-ticles for professors. "Everybody did two or three jobs in those days; we never felt misused," says Jean. "There are times in any job when you think it's not worth it, because of pres-sure and getting over-tired. But on the whole it's a good job." Jean receives late typing re-quests from professors every now and then. Her reaction? "So often things get done at the last minute. At times it does get irritating, but you just learn to work around it. I guess it's like a woman who thinks she's going to change her husband—and is wrong . . ." (hopefully). Chris Weintz, English professor, makes the following observations: "During the past decade and a half, whenever I have come into Jean's office, I have been greeted with a friendly smile, treated to sweets and goodies, helped in the dis-patching of tons of departmental paper work, and assisted in the completion of exacting, profession-al manuscripts. In my own Bethel yearbook she rates the 'dedicated to' page!" Jeannine Bohlmeyer, English professor, comments on Jean's ded-ication: "Because Jean works for the entire faculty instead of for a specific individual, she tends to be taken for granted. She never takes her work for granted, however. She can turn a scratch copy of a test or an outline into a precisely typed stencil, often doing so even at the last moment when someone wants Jean to compensate for his own lack of planning ahead. She by Wendell Wahlin The first blanket of fluffy snow has fallen and the slumbering Bethel Ski Club enthusiasts are be-ginning to waken. Up until now the absence of snow has not meant, however, that the Ski Club has really been hibernating. With an enthusiastic staff of officers, Mark Waller, president of the club, re-ports that the club's activities at present, as well as planning for the future, are going great. Mark claims a great year of skiing for experienced and novice alike is in the offing. can usually even smile at such im-positions." Summing up her feelings toward Bethel and her job, Jean says, "Bethel has provided the oppor-tunity for me to develop many friendships; it has provided me with a variety of work experien-ces; and it has helped me to a deeper and fuller understanding of my personal faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. "As in all jobs, there are the satisfying, good times and there are the frustrating, discouraging times. Here at Bethel, I have found the good and satisfying to far out-weigh the other. "In other words, I like it here." Officers for the year are Mark, president, Greg Brunko, secretary, Julie Palen, vice-president, Linda Gaasrud, t r ea s u r e r, and Sue Neav, trip manager. Dr. Robert Stein (alias Billy Kidd) has accept-ed the position of advisor, and Ed-gren's own Howard Engnell will be along as well. So far, twenty-two girls and guys have joined and with the publication of the agenda of activities it is hoped more will decide to come along. With the five-dollar membership fee members are given a thirty per cent discount on a fine-quality, im-ported Demitree ski sweater, dis-counts on tow rates at area ski re-sorts, and very reasonably priced weekend ski trips with the group. Weekend ski trip have been set for January 15-17 to Indianhead in Michigan, February 4-7 to Lutsen in northeastern Minnesota, Febru-ary 19-21 to Indianhead once again, and March 5-7 back to Lutsen, that being the end of the weekend trips. The first ski excursion will be on December 10 the club will spend the entire day at Afton Alps—tru-ly a unique way of celebrating the end of a semester. Night excur-sions to the Afton Alps slopes will follow on January 21 and 28, Feb-ruary 11 and 25, and March 11 and 25. For any interested in obtaining more information concerning the club and its activities, Mark en-courages you to see himself, any of the officers, or any of the mem-bers. The school does have a lim-ited number of poles and skiis for those who wish to enjoy the snow but cannot afford to deck them-selves with new equipment. This year marks the first big year for the Bethel Ski Club. With a larger number of kids involved, more extensive planning, enthu-siasm among the officers, and spe-cial rates for the group skiing, the outlook for skiing and especially Bethel skiers on the slopes is more than good, it's great! by Sharon Swanson 3.

Women's choir travels east on interim tour Friday, December 4, 1970 the CLARION Page 5 Widow pens poetic tribute to husband To the editor: When a man walks quietly in the course of his duty, Serves faithfully, waits to study a thing through thoroughly, Thinks deeply before speaking, then speaks from his store Of understanding with usual quiet smile but no strident tones, . . . Is he heard? Is such a man's life marked and noted? Or, is he passed by unnoticed? When a man can teach a calculus class or conduct combined choirs, Encouraging the wayward and slow and the eager and apt, alike With his zest and his warmth and never-barbed wit, And leave his mark upon many, Can lecture with simple clarity or direct with a studied precision From a warm and responsive and sensitive soul, And leave the sure feeling, "I am wiser and richer and better For having known him," ... Is he missed when no longer among us? Is such a man's life, when it fades (as the flower of grass which is Man's life inevitably fades from this earth), then forgotten? When intervening years have arched four twelve-months of time Across the span of our lives since we lost him . . . Is he remembered? Are the marks that he left in his passing still apparent—anywhere? Have they lasted? God grant it be so, (though some have eroded). Is it so among some still at Bethel who knew him, respected him, As one of God's quiet staunch heroes? It is so for one who with all her heart loved him, lived beside him, Knew almo3t no fault in him, remembers . . . and still misses .. . One of God's quiet great men. —Marilyn K.

Combining the works of the mas-ters, Handel, Schubert, and Brahms with more contemporary anthems, hymn tunes, and spirituals, the choir employs modern speech choir techniques in weaving its sacred repertoire together. Says Oliver Mogck, conductor of the choir, "The program has great built-in interest and variety for the listener. In developing our concert programs, we seek to carry out several musical, educational, and spiritual objectives, recognizing that in each audience there are listeners with a wide range of mu-sical tastes and emotional and spir-itual needs." Unusual numbers on the reper-toire include "When Jesus Wept" by the early American composer, William Billings, featuring a re-corder accompaniment. Among the great hymns and anthems of praise to be sung will be "0 Come Let Us Sing Unto The Lord" (Pslams 95) by the contemporary American composer Kent Newbury. Small vo- Miss Mom's baking!

The play, based on the best selling nov-el, Tell No Man, by Adela Rogers St. Johns, really "hits home" in its relevance to today's church. Hank Gavin, a successful busi-nessman, is led to Christ's service in the ministry—much to his wife's dismay. His heartbreak over his wife's rejection, his fears in the face of his new church, and his trials in coping with indignant church members—this is what Greater Love is all about. The play deals with problems of the Christian life, especially doubt and faith. In writing and directing the play, Steve Pederson has aim-ed to provide not only entertain-ment, but a spiritually enlighten-ing, dramatic experience. It is the ultimate goal of the director that evangelicals come to realize the power of sincere religious drama and music.

Items will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis so that those who buy on Friday will have the most selections to choose from. The exhibition will be held in the basement of the Old Seminary Building and a student cashier will be on duty throughout the day.

The Hot Corner by Rich Zaderaka The winter sports schedule goes into full swing this weekend, with two basketball games and a wrestling meet. Friday evening the Royal cagers tangle with Carleton at Northfield, Minnesota, and Saturday they'll travel to Sioux Falls in South Dakota. Tomorrow Bethel's grapplers open their season with a meet against UMD beginning at 2:00. Going into the weekend the basketball team has a record of 2-1. Granted they didn't look too tough against Valley City Monday night; but the Vikings were the NDCAC Champions last year. The Royals were-n't able to match VC on the boards, were sloppy in their offense (20 turn-overs) and had a lot of shots that just wouldn't drop. Things won't get any easier as they play five of their next six op-ponents on the road. But look for a continued improvement as the team gains experience. Ron Troxel (Ron Lewis) . . ."And now here with the pregame show is the voice of the Bethel Royals, Rock Rozin." Rich Zaderaka (Rock Rozin) . . . "Thank you Ron. Hello everybody, and welcome to Bethel College basketball on WBCS-1050." So begins the play by play of Bethel basketball. Ron and Rich are going to broadcast all home games as well as a few away games. They've had a rough time getting through the red tape of getting everything arranged for away broadcasts. Hopefully they will broadcast live three games be-fore Christmas. These are Carle-ton tonight, Sioux Falls tomorrow, and Mankato State next Wednes-day. Rich feels that "the station is one of the college's biggest as-sets." It can be invaluable in help-ing to boost student spirit on campus, through broadcast of away games that most students couldn't get to." "The difficulties are many," says Rich. "Sometimes we don't get the visitors' roster in time to really learn it well." In spite of this Ron and Rich plug away at it "because we enjoy doing it." If student interest is great GRID PIX After what happened to the Vikings last week, I'll go with some upsets this time; the primary one being the Bears over the Vikes. I'm assuming that quarterback Gary Cuozzo won't play. Of course, the Bears stole five of Johnny Unitas' aerials last week so even Cuozzo could have a rough time should be ready to go on Saturday. Season mark is 67- 40-8. Chicago over Minnesota NYG over Buffalo San Francisco over Atlanta Kansas City over Denver Green Bay over Pittsburgh Los Angeles over New Orleans Oakland over New York Jets Baltimore over Philadelphia Detroit over St. Louis Dallas over Washington Cincinnati over San Diego Miami over Boston Cleveland over Houston enough, interim and second sem-ester away games may also be broadcast. Financial support of the game broadcasts will be required of the student senate so be sure to let your student senator know, if you think the broadcasts are worthwhile. The games can be picked up on 1050 A.M. or in the coffee shop. You might even catch Ron and Rich doing an ST-10 or talking about FRT (to use their personal jargon). Both Ron and Rich agree that they do their best when the team is doing its best.

The team has won two and lost one. The first win was over the Dordt Defenders by a humbling score of 74-65. Aggres-sive play by Doug Fargo and fine ball handling and shooting by the guards, Dan Larson, Jim Delich, and Steve Scroggins aided the team in defeating Dordt. Doug Far-go lead the team in rebounds and scored 25 points. Steve Scroggins, Jim Delich, and Dan Larson con-tributed 12, 11, and 10 points re-spectively. Last Saturday the Royals travel-ed to Ashland, Wisconsin, to take on the Northland Lumberjacks. The game was tight all the way. Bethel led by three at the half, and then came out and opened up to a nine point lead, the largest of the game. With nine seconds left in the game the Lumberjacks were awarded two free throws, making one. With the score Bethel 76, Northland 77, Bethel called a time out to set up a play. Steve Scroggins got the ball and shot a twenty footer which missed leav-ing a tense three seconds of the game. Gordy Nordmark then leap-ed high in the air and tipped the ball in to give Bethel a 78-77 edge and their second victory. Leading the Royals in scoring was Steve Scroggins with 26 points and Gor-dy Nordmark with 20. Monday night the Royals were handed their first defeat by a strong team from Valley City State College, 81-58. Down at the half by a score of 45-33, the team was still within striking range. In the sec-ond half the Royals pulled to with-in seven points, but then Valley City poured on the shooting and rebounding to crush the spirit left in the Royals. Valley City was able to exploit the Royals' greatest weakness thus far this season, re-bounding, and managed to turn Bethel's mistakes into points. The Valley City team was one of the tougest teams the Royals will face all season. Steve Scroggins again led the team in scoring with 20 points. Dan Larson, Doug Fargo, and Gordy Nordmark each had 8 points. Injuries, board strength and in-experience all have hurt the per-formance of the Royals. In order to have a successful season the Royals will have to rely on their quickness and strategic team play to win. So far they've been some-what successful, and have every right to look forward to a good season. Time will provide the val-uable playing experience needed by the freshmen. This weekend the Royals take on Carlton College in Northfield and Sioux Falls College at Sioux Falls. The next home game is Saturday, December 12, against Mt. Marty. Girls volleyball play in stale tournament The Bethel volleyball team will finish the season Saturday with the state tournament at Macales-ter. At the end of six matches the B team stood 2-4 and the A team stood 3-3. At the start of the sea-son both teams were defeated by St. Cloud and the B team was also defeated by Eau Claire. Bethel won both matches against St. Catherines and Pillsbury but the games against St. Olaf and Carle-ton ended in defeat. The last reg-ular season match was Wednes-day against Concordia.
