■ THRESHER 71 2 THRESHER ' 71 Bethel College North Newton, Kansas Published by — Thresher Staff Ilene Weinbrenner, Editor Norman Dick, Business Manager 3 CONTENTS Academics 12 Organizations 34 Features 64 Athletics 86 Students 106 1970-71 found the Bethel campus concerned with problems dealing with environment and ecology, the SST, Apollo XIV, as well as the Middle East and Viet- nam. Also facing the campus was the concern for the fu- ture of Bethel. Despite the financial crisis, there was a desire to sup- port and maintain the college in its struggle to survive. Workday was revived, students became involved in re- cruiting and public relations, and Bethel received the largest individual donation in its history. Contributing to the enthusiasm were the added oppor- tunities for travel and study during inter-term ... the initiation of LACE and BELL ... the snowstorms . . . the spontaneous parties ... the rumored death of Her- man Bubbert . . . new freedom in class structure ... the informal discussions. These and many other events made 1970-71 a year to remember. Ilene Weinbrenner, editor 7 10 emic Dr, Voth completes final year of leadership Serving as Bethel ' s eighth president, Dr. Orville Voth has contributed a number of accompHshments to the col- lege. As a result of his initiation of the President ' s Round Table and Student Advisory Council, the students have had more voice in campus affairs. The Goals Study initi- ated while he was president provided an examination of the direction Bethel College should move in the years ahead. The academic calendar was changed from the quarter system to the semester system resulting in in- creased cooperation with other ACCK schools. Improve- ments in relations between the General Conference Mennonite Church and the college occurred as a result of his efforts. President Voth graduated from Bethel in 1948, after which he received his M.S. degree in chemistry from Oklahoma State University. He received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Voth joined the Bethel faculty as interim dean in the fall of 1966, becoming president in February, 1967. Prior to returning to his native Newton, he was professor of chemistry at Kansas Wesleyan University, Salina. The students, faculty and community have appreciated the capable and dedicated leadership he has provided for the college.

Student Council revives workday successfully Student Council, the leading student government or- ganization on campus, began the year with a somewhat apathetic student attitude toward student government. Conditions, however, improved as STUCO, headed by Daryl Nickel, president, worked to improve student-fac- ulty relations. The members of student council met each week to discuss the major problems of successful student government. There was much discussion of improve- ments such as a possible student-faculty senate. Other leaders of student council included Bob Voth, vice presi- dent, and Star Gipson, secretary. Working within a limited budget, STUCO managed to take on several projects providing financial assistance to various groups on campus. Workday was revived and was considered a success as $1300 was collected. 38 Student A ctivities Board improves student union The Student Activities Board, headed by Ted Loewen, again provided entertainment and activities for students.

Threshers clash with Falcons on gridiron The October 17 homecoming game pitted the Thresh- ers against the powerful Friends University Falcons. Adverse weather conditions prevailed as Bethel failed to find their footing for a sustained offensive drive. The weather, however, did not stop the defensive line as the Falcons could not score carrying the ball. Unfortunately, Friends ' passing offense intercepted two passes, capital- izing on both, to overpower the Threshers. The last min- ute and a half brought the final blow when Friends scored 13 points. The loss, however, was not an indica- tion of the spirit with which Bethel played as seven of the fighting Threshers were injured in the clash.

This play strongly dramatizes alienation — the lostness of man, decreasingly able to relate to his fellows, to share or even to hope. No easy answers are given — no moral lesson laid out. Is it a parable of guilt-ridden man or a nightmare of totalitarian society as some have interpreted Kafka ' s novel? Is Mr. K ' s plight akin to that of today ' s child of change, who, when wanting to do something about government, laws, taxes, etc., finds himself in a faceless bureaucracy, overpowering and inapproachable? We are left to apply our own under- standing, to ponder if and how our own quality of life, our values, our strength, our religion could better meet such a test.

In addi- tion to lectures and discussion, the class saw films and took field trips to better understand Black heritage. Thir- teen individuals participated in a dramatization of Black poetry as their final examination. The play, In Black America, was directed by Roberta Ingram. The students enrolled during interterm represented many other colleges. In the home management course the girls Hved together as a family at Warkentin Court and took on the duties that are required to run a good household. Along with the practical learning, there were also discussions and lectures. THE PLAY, In Black America, given by students in Biacic History. STUDENTS from Sterling and Kansas Wesleyan practice techniques learned in home management. 70 Printmaking, Crafts provide for experience in field of interest Interterm provided an opportunity to experience and gain new knowledge in major fields of interest. In the printmaking lab, the seven students enrolled in the course developed their skills in the process of wood- cuts, etching and interio. Using copper and linoleum for the plates, students were required to work a minimum of forty weekly hours, completing at least three projects. The class worked with blacks and whites with some ex- ploration into colors. The crafts workshop provided for art majors and non- art majors the opportunity to explore the fields of rug hooking, weaving, and macrame. The emphasis was on creating designs in all three areas and combining original ideas into a finished product. BETTY GOERTZ rubs printing plate to remove excess from printing RUTH HOFER works on her weaving, surrounded by crafts projects. Campus benefits from new president, speakers, conference Dr. James Juhnke, Bethel professor of history, ran for fourth district congressman.

Eighteenth Century opera presented in modern dress The Marriage of Figaro was presented by the Opera Worlcshop at Bethel in the spring of the year. The comic, eighteenth century opera was presented in modern dress and settings and attempted to point up and satirize some possible current counterparts of the original characters and situation. The music was written by W. A. Mozart with words by Lorenzo DaPonte. Steve Fiol, who portrayed the Count, also worked as stage director. Walter Jost conducted and directed the vocal music while Arlo Kasper was technical director and designer. The piano accompanist for the opera was Connie Steingard. The cast included Stephen F.

The production featured a touring professional theater group which performed for audiences in public squares. The actors developed their own characters as they traveled and, as a result, often opposed each other in the portrayal of the characters. Despite the frantic efforts of Harlequin, the manager (played by Bob Clack), the Company broke up only to reaUze that they were a part of each other and could not separate. After they were reunited, their performances became superior. The cast included the following: Harlequin, the Manager Robert L.

Threshers finish strong compiling 4-5 season mark Once again overcoming the bumps and bruises of the gridiron, the Bethel College Threshers posted a 4-5 sea- son record. It was the second game of the season that brought the Threshers their first victory in a hard-fought contest with McPherson. The previous week the Thresh- ers had journeyed nearly 500 miles only to suffer defeat to the Peru, Nebraska team. After the glory of their first victory, the team went down to defeat three consecutive times losing first to Tabor in a game where defense ruled supreme. In losing to Bethany the maroon and gray could only score once as the opponent scored three times. The third loss saw Be- thel battle not only a rugged Friends team but also the weather as both the Wichitans and the weather won convincingly. Following their homecoming defeat to Friends, the tide turned as the Threshers won three of their four re- maining games including a one-point victory over Col- lege of Emporia. Southwestern then proceeded to knock off the Threshers as Bethel could not push the ball over. The season ' s final home game saw the division winners from St. Mary ' s suffer their only divisional defeat as the mighty Threshers scored twice in the final two minutes to pull out the victory. Ending the season with a win over Sterling, the Threshers and a large number of fans braved the zero degree temperature to see BC win by two touchdowns. Leading scorer and rusher for Bethel was Hank Jones who scored five touchdowns and six extra points, and rushed for 354 yards in 83 carries.

The Bethel College golf team had one of its finest sea- sons in many a year as they won their first three meets. The squad finished seventh in the KCAC and played some excellent golf through the year. One of the disad- vantages the team faced was the lack of no financial sup- port from the school. In order to be eligible for competi- tion the team had to find a sponsor. CHfford Stutzman of Hesston sponsored the team. Shooting in the number one spot was letterman Paul Mullet. Number two man was Bill Keller. Letterman Jerry Schrag filled the third spot, while Mike Goering, also a letterman, shot fourth and Ivan Schmidt rounded out the squad as the fifth man. 99 TENNIS COACH — Jim Chroust TENNIS TEAM — BACK ROW: Gary Yost, Dave Haury, Dennis Rempel, Kurt Jantz.

New school records were estabHshed in a number of events as Steve Lindberg bettered his own pole vault rec- ord, Chuck Klaassen ran a 56.4 flight of intermediate hurdles, Richard Tieszen broke the three-mile record, and the sprint medley team of Chuck Klaassen, Allan Bartel, Fred Robertson, and Marvin Johnson bettered the existing mark. One new event, the hammer throw, was added to the program with Ron Flaming setting a school mark of 1 10 feet, and while doing so winning the only gold medal for BC at the ACCK meet. Managing the team this year was Bruce Neufeld. Awards given to team members were the most improved player to Lowell Stucky and the most valuable player to Marvin Johnson. Eight freshmen girls participated in women ' s track this year.
