Students found themselves in contexts which challenged their ideas and established new traditions. But change came in many ways as the 4-1-4 began its operation, and the computer made its impact on the student ' s individualism. As thoughts of coed hous- ing and open mods pervaded the campus, students also found time for coffee dates and popcorn. Randy Sparks and intramurals. Some things remained the same. Lab reports, Committees, and convocations crowded for attention from students. Bethel ' 70 was a year of dimensions. As a reflection of Bethel ' 70, the yearbook staff has combined the many dimen- sions of Bethel into the 1970 THRESHER. June Galle, Editor College life challenged students with lab reports, - history papers, and student recitals. It offered them the opportunity for creativity through photographs of the sun eclipse, presentation of The Little Foxes, and artistic expression of Religion in Wood. Bethel 70 provided academic DIMEN- SIONS OF CREATIVITY AND THOUGHT. Bethel students found themselves engulfed in routine — the cafeteria and walks between classes, award-winning Collegians and history of civ. tests, student teaching and problem sessions. While stu- dents participated in daily activities, Christmas fes- tivities and senior orals remained traditional. Bethel 70 provided environmental DIMENSIONS OF ROUTINE AND TRADITION. 12 Social dimensions of Bethel 70 revolved around the Hearts Tournament, intramurals, and the tricycle race. Spring evenings and choir tour found students while they paused from studies..

Bethel 70 provided social DIMENSIONS OF INTERACTION AND FUN. 14 Expression was characterized in numerous ways. While opinions concerning interterm and the mora- torium clouded the campus, expressions of frustra- tion and committment prevailed. Psychology groups aired feelings concerning coed housing and high tuition. Concern for the college prevailed. Bethel 70 found DIMENSIONS OF EXPRESSION AND OPINION. 15 16 Dimensions of change and growth made its im- pact on campus life. Open hours for upperclass- women and divisions of the KCAC combined with the 4-1-4 and tri-college band to provide solutions to existing problems. Evaluation of the college came under strict study. Revealed in Bethel 70 were DI- MENSIONS OF CHANGE AND GROWTH. The Man From Bethel, here he comes again Here he comes again, head high and smilin ' Shakin ' down the world, playing it cool. He smiles as though he has never been Hunted by the crowd, beaten by all the fools. Think of all the men who never knew the answers Think of all of those who never even cared. Still there are some who ask why Who want to know, who dare to try. Every now and then we meet that kind of man. Here he comes again and now he ' s gone. — Rod McKuen Dimensions of Administration MILTON COERING, Dean of Stude nts, and William Keeney, Aca- AS REGISTRAR, Mrs. Vernelle Waltner is responsible for registra- demic Dean, discuss the possibilities of a coed dorm. tion and guides students in their courses of study.

MANAGER BRUCE NEUFELD anchors a loose pad. Bruce main- tained the player ' s equipment and issued them tape and advice. Unruh retires after distinguished career Coach Otto Unruh, Dean of Kansas football coaches, is retired after forty-two years of service to Kansas football. Except for one year at Kansas Uni- versity and three years during World War II, he coached continuously since 1925. Unruh spent his playing career at Bethel Acade- my, which was united with Bethel College, from 1921—1924. When his eligibility in the Kansas Con- ference expired, he spent two years as Bethel Acad- emy ' s student coach, and then moved on to K. U. where he played guard on the varsity basketball team. Unruh coached at Blue Rapids High School in 1928, and after one year of coaching, he returned to Bethel College and began a fourteen year tenure as coach of all sports. During the war Coach Unruh served in the Red Cross, and after the war he moved to Clay Center, where he coached football, basket- ball, wrestling, and track in various combinations for the next twenty-two years. In 1967, Unruh answered the call to return to Be- thel, and in his first season. Bethel broke a twenty- five game losing streak. In the succeeding two sea- sons Bethel posted 3-6 and 4-5 marks respectively. Forced to retire by a mandatory retirement clause. Coach Unruh leaves behind a foundation for future Thresher football.

Threshers stymied in bid for championship The Bethel College Threshers ' overcame varied bruises and broken bones as they scrapped to a 4-5 season record. The Threshers were ranked among the top small college defensive units in the nation for the first few weeks of the season, but the numer- ous injuries began to take their toll, with the Thresh- ers finishing fourth in the Southern Division of the KCAC behind Saint Mary ' s, Sterling, and Southwest- ern. Kansas Wesleyan won the Northern Division and defeated Sterling for the conference championship. Losing to Ottawa in a hard-fought defensive battle in the opening game, the Threshers rebounded with resounding victories over McPherson and Tabor. After defeating Friends University in a mud-bath in Wichita, the fighting Threshers capped off the homecoming festivities with an exciting triumph over College of Emporia. This was the last victory for the Threshers as they lost their three remaining games. Junior quarterback Dwight Cox led the Thresher attack with six touchdown passes in seven games, but he was sidelined with injuries for two important league contests. Henry Jones was the workhorse of the backfield while gaining 625 yards rushing for a 4.4 yards per carry average. Arthur Clark led the team in pass receiving as he garnered 156 yards on ten receptions.

JUNIOR GUARD Bruce Vogts exhibits form which put him among the leading small college free throw shooters in the nation. New coaches inspire a victorious season The Bethel College Threshers, under new mentor Jinn Chroust, scrapped their way to a second place finish in the southern division of the KCAC. The var- sity squad, led by co-captains Steve Wedel and Dar- rell Ediger, completed the season with a 12-10 mark while the junior varsity charges of assistant coach Chet Roberts closed with a 3-13 record. The Threshers got off to a fast start with victories in three of the first four games and second place in the Mennonite Classic held at Goshen, Indiana. The next six games were a different story as the team fell into a slump with five defeats. The Threshers finally jelled as they upset northern conference champion Kansas Wesleyan before moving into conference play and compiled a 6-2 record. A defeat at the hands of division champ Friends University dashed the hopes for a Bethel championship. Brothers Darrell and Bruce Ediger headed the scoring with 16.77 and 16.73 marks respectively, while Bruce Vogts and Arthur Clark were also in double figures. Stan Brodhagen grabbed 11.5 re- bounds per game, and Darrell was second with 10.8 caroms each outing. Bruce Vogts was the league ' s leading free throw shooter with a 85.4 percentage and Darrell again came in second, shooting at a 78 per cent clip. Darrell ' s outstanding all-round play did not go unnoticed as he received all-league rec- ognition for the second consecutive year. STAN BRODHAGEN, eligible second semester and finishing with the team ' s highest rebound average, strains for the basket.

The Beth el College girls ' basketball team under the guidance of coach Dwight Cox and assistants Hank Jones and Jerald Prince, forged a 3-5 season record with a victory over Southwestern and a pair of wins over Sterling College. It was a season of re- building as two close defeats at the hands of Tabor College dropped the Thresherettes below the fifty per cent level after a highly successful season last year. The squad contained only three seniors. Karen Faye Goering, DarIa Banman, and Linda Doerksen, and one junior as the freshmen and sophomore players gained valuable playing experience. Leading scorers included Patty Goering and Doris Schmidt with Doris recording a season high of eighteen points in the Southwestern game. The other regulars included junior llene Weinbrenner, sophomores Marlene Horn and Kathy Krehbiel, and freshmen Karen Wiens and Pam Kaufman. DISPLAYING GOOD FORM, Linda Doerksen releases the basket- ball for two more points. Golfers hampered by lack of playing time The Bethel College golf team with only one re- turning letterman, finished a disappointing last in the conference meet held at the Wellington Golf Club. Mike Goering with a 267 and Keith Brubacher with a 269 were the low scorers for the Threshers over the two-day 54 hole final. A practice schedule which allowed the linksmen to practice only three days a week severely restricted the playing time, but a general lack of competitive experience was also a major factor in the high scores. The Threshers were 1-6 in season meets with a victory over Sterling being the lone win. Keith Brubacher was the only senior on the squad, leaving the team with a strong nucleus for the upcoming years. Coach Max Wiens did an excellent job of or- ganizing tournaments and acquiring equipment. KEITH BRUBACHER finishes high on his follow-through. Bru- bacher was number one man on the squad the entire year. 115 Penner resigns from all coaching duties Virgil Penner, Bethel College Athletic Director, announced his resignation as head track coach and assistant football coach effective after the 1969-70 academic year. Penner, a 1960 graduate of Bethel College, will remain as athletic director. Penner ' s track charges were plagued by a rash of crippling leg injuries which hobbled the relay teams and dashes for the entire year. Without the aid of the dashmen Bethel finished eighth in the league meet as Wade Brubacher, Rick Siebert, and Steve Lindberg were the only Threshers able to garner points. Several records were set: two of them in relays, two in distance runs, and one in field events. Dave Winchester was involved in four of the records as he set new marks in the three-mile run and the steeple chase and ran on the record setting two-mile and medley relay teams. Steve Lindberg set the other record with a vault of thirteen feet, eight inches. .

Net men finish high in conference meets For the second consecutive year, the Bethel Col- lege tennis team finished third in the KCAC confer- ence meet, held this year at Bethany. Steve Balzer scored the only Bethel point on his second place fin- ish in the number one singles. Balzer ' s defeat was only the second in his two years at Bethel, and it snapped a skein of 29 consecutive victories. Bethel ' s first four singles players all reached the semifinals, but only Balzer was able to stand up against Beth- any ' s and Southwestern ' s championship bids. Both doubles teams advanced to the semifinals, but they, too, were unable to come up with another win. In the ACCK tournament held at Tabor, Bethel finished second behind Bethany. Balzer handed Bethany freshman Mike Young his first defeat of the year in the singles finals. Darrell Ediger bowed to Young in the semifinals while Jim Schmidt and Bruce Ediger were also defeated in the semifinals. The netmen ended the season with a dual match record of seven victories and three defeats, losing only to Bethany once and Southwestern twice. )IM SCHMIDT, who concentrated mainly upon doubles in his high school career, places a forehand drive. SENIOR STEVE BALZER smashes another serve. Steve was forced to alter his service because of an old shoulder injury. 120 TENNIS TEAM — Jim Schmidt, Don Hoisinger, Darrell Ediger, Steve Baizer, Bruce Ediger, Coach Jim Chroust. Intramurals involve COOL CAT looks on helplessly as Grant Schmidt spikes one after a perfect set from his teammates. Students and faculty The Bethel College intramural championships were a series of wide-open battles in which no one mod or floor was victorious in more than one event. The intramural season began with touch football, and a powerful squad from mods 7A-9B, which in- cluded several former Bethel varsity lettermen, romped through league play and defeated First East for the championship. In badminton faculty mem- bers James Juhnke and A. Wayne Wiens went unde- feated in doubles competition defeating Rick Kreh- biel and Larry Thimm for the crown. Dr. Juhnke de- feated Dr. Wiens in the singles final. Mod 9-B won the ABA division and Mod 8-B the NBA with 8-B going on to defeat 9-B in the finals to remain un- beaten for the season. The volleyball season ended spectacularly with a three way tie for first. Third Southeast beat Mod 4-C in the three set semifinals and overcame Mod 9-A for the title. In girls ' volley- ball Old Second over-powered New Main for the championship. PLAYERS move in for rebound in the championshi game of the intramural basketball tournament. VOLLEYBALL WINNERS — 3rd Southeast: Dennis Claassen, Lynn Kaufman, Greg Unruh, Larry Thimm, Jim Ensz, Tinurman Entz, Gayland Regier, Rick Krehbiel. FACULTY MEMBERS revealed athletic ability as Dr. A. Wayne Wiens and Dr. James Juhnke dominated the badminton tourney. 123 DONALD HOLSINGER RICHARD WALKER ANN SCHMIDT President Vice-President Sec. -Treasurer N.Newton Newton Pawnee Rock History History English STEVEN BALZER N.

Gratitude should be expressed to those people whose help proved valuable. To my staff, thanks to Krys Hiebert and her skill at accomplishing tasks, to Paul Krehbiel and his advertising pains, to Debbie Goering and Linda Krenzin for their brilliant work on the student section, to J. C. Hodgson and Jim Wedel for their determination on sports layouts, to Grant Schmidt, Paula Catlin, and Sue Ebeling for their time, and to Sherry Esau, copy editor. Photographers played a large role in the making of this book. Jerry and Sonja Becker, Lonnie Goering, and David Wasser deserve insurmountable credit. Besides student photographers, Schmidt Studio helped us with portraits and staff pictures. Appreciation also goes to Frank Wright, American Yearbook Company representative and the production staff in Topeka. Finally, many thanks to the students and faculty who cooperated with the taking of pictures, and to those who supplied encouraging words to the staff. This is their dimension of 70.
