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?

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

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."

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.

To the editor:
At the possibility of raising the
black man's indignity let me, as a
proud white man tell you what I
feel about my heritage and history
and what you're doing to it. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

1. 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.

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.

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?

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

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

girls and guys have joined and

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!

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.

Women's Choir, under the di-rection
of Oliver Mogck, associate
professor of music, will be on con-cert
tour to, in and from Eastern
States January 13-31.
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)

Greater Love, the exciting new
musical drama is in its final stages
of production this next week. 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.

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

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

visitors' roster in time to really
learn it well." In spite of this Ron

we enjoy doing it."

Royals win two , lose one
With only four player's return- 64e 4
ing from last year's team, the Royal
basketball team has gotten off to
a good start. 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

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

Good luck at tomorrow's tour-nament!
