It originated from Psalrn 19:1, which states, The Heavens are telling the glory of God and the firmament pro- claims His handiwork. This theme was illustrated to represent the Fest (see below) by Carolyn Goertzen Wedel. The 1 982 Fall Fest continued the traditions of the Fall Fair, Almost Anything Goes Con- test, Chicken Barbecue. Homecoming football game and Sunday Morning Worship Service. Unique to this year ' s Fest was the play The Blowing and the Bending written by Bethel ' s Jim Juhnke and Harold Moyer. ior the BATMAN? — No, just the boy won- der. John Cone amazingly keeps his balance while spinning around the bat at the Almost Anything Goes Contest. Marg Mosley Marg Mosley 19 Student Nursing The Progr amis AllTimeConsuming Dedication and a deep commitment to the field are the words Julie Quiring, Nursing Professor used to describe just a few of the attributes needed to be a nursing major at Bethel. The nursing program, graduating its second class this year, has already established its name as an excel- lent program. Quiring stated her own opinion con- cerning the departments excellence. In our program, we are looking at the whole person. Within the person you must take into account the physical, personal, social, mental, and spiritual. We encourage our students to look at the person in context. The nursing majors go through rigorous study and training to do just that. The freshman and sophomore years are primarily concerned with general education requirements. It is the junior year which marks the beginning of the intense work and determination. During the first se- mester of that year, students get an introduction in, and become efficient in the basic skills. Quiring de- fined such skills as giving shots, removing stitches, bed baths, assessment of the body suction, and a variety of other skills. The majority of the day is spent in clinical or in actual laboratory situations. The second semester of the year has an emphasis on maternity and child care. Each student is assigned an expectant mother and her family The assignment is to interact with the family through labor and postna- tal care. Quiring commented, That second semester is one of the students favorites. The nurses can relate to the parents and reflect on their own future as possi- ble parents. They usually see the delivery as such a miraculous experience. Leanna Voth, nursing stu- dent echoed her by adding, Qne of my most reward- ing experiences was being present at the birth of a baby The all important phone call came at 1 :30 in the morning and I was at the hospital until 3:00 the next afternoon. I ' ve never been so exhausted or awe- struck in my whole life. I came home and cried tears of joy at the wonder of it all. While the junior class deals primarily with birth, and the beginning of life, the seniors begin their year with those in the last part of life, the older adult. Each student spends time in a nursing home, working alongside other retirement home nurses. Another re- quirement of the first semester is work in the commu- nity Students may work in schools, county health departments, or family planning centers. The second semester follows with emphasis on nursing manage- ment. Jennifer Baughman explained the program by saying, In this area of study we are involved in experi- ences which expose us to the responsibilities of the charge nurses. Towards the end of the program, we are actually put in charge of a floor. Quiring added, The students work in a team leader experience. They gain an idea of what it ' s like to be a supervisor. Many student nurses express this opportunity as a pinnacle of their experiences. There is an exceptional amount of work leading up to that point howev er. According to Baughman, The program is all time consuming. You need to be totally dedicated to the work. Many times I felt almost guilty socializing with others because I knew nursing needed so much more time than I was giving it. Vernita Voth agreed with her, The study load has often seemed overwhelming. However the knowl- edge I gain in school may mean the difference be- tween life and death for someone someday Many student nurses stressed the point that the instructors are very helpful in encouraging them in the program. Julie Redinger stated, I believe the instruc- tors have faith in us and they have taken a personal interest in knowing how each of us is doing. Voth echoed her in saying, Our instructors have such high hopes for us. Sometimes it seems we could never live up to them, but on the job, it ' s nice to find that we have high expectations of ourselves as well, and we can reach our goals. Voth added Their Christian atti- tudes and values come shining through and it is great to have such wonderful role models when I ' m strug- gling to figure out just exactly what a nurse is and what he or she does. Memories are many for those who graduate from Bethel with a nursing degree this year, but perhaps Vernita Voth summed up the thoughts of all the stu- dents in saying, When I ' m old and gray in my rocking chair someday I ' ll remember my classmates. I ' ll re- member the closeness we ' ve developed, and the caring concern we have for each other. We ' ve grown close because we ' ve experienced so many things together, things no one else would ever understand . . I ' ll remember that when we were in the thick of things we were still able to have fun . . . we laughed, and we cried together, but we have lasting memories. 20 The Blowing and the Bending Fall Plays Strongly Tied to Bethel History often seems to repeat itself. Issues that were important during one time period reoccur in different forms during another. Conscientiousness and military participation is one such issue. It was appropriate that The Blowing and the Bending was presented during the 1 982 Fall Festival. It worked as a mirror to reflect the ideas of 1918 in relation to the present conflict of nonregistration. As James Juhnke noted, Some of the underlying issues of World War I remain alive in 1982. May the blowing and the bending make the oak tree strong! Written by Juhnke and J. Harold Moyer, the play portrays the conflict between the Kansas Mennonites and World War I issues. The Blowing and the Bending captures the con troversy of military conscription, anti-German propa- ganda and war bonds. The drama and music departments teamed up to present the musical. Both Maries Preheim and Arlo Kasper directed in their respective fields of music and stage. The production involved over 100 members of the Bethel and Newton communities. The major roles were played by Dave Deutschendorf, Solomon; Sharia Kaufman, Sarah; Bruce Toews, Menno; Wen- dell Funk, Carl; Jeanette Voran, Bessie; Seichi Mat- suda, Jeff; and Ron Brunk, Abner Schmidt. y rSCniC Ond Arsenic and Old Lace was the second play pre sented in 1 982 that had connections with Bethel Col- O u LQCC lege While The Blowing and the Bending has a more direct tie through the Mennonite tradition and its contemporary authors. Arsenic and Old Lace ' s link is more subtle. Joseph Kesselring, who authored the play lived in Goerz Hall and taught voice at Bethel from 1923 through 1925. Since Kesselring was familiar with the community it is assumed that he incorporated various people and landmarks in his comedy Robert Clack, director, stated, People in the com- munity were possibly prototypes for the aunts. In addition, Arlo Kasper noticed that there were many similarities between Goerz Hall and the original set design. A unique angle was added to the Bethel production by 4 ' 2 Dawn Abrahams. She along with Amy Friesen played the two aunts. This casting of varied heights added a new interpretation to the play Other major cast members were Mark Weaver, Mor- timer; Lance Carithers, Teddy; Mark Block, Jonathan; and Janice Frey Elaine. A CAST OF THOUSANDS — Sitting down to the harvest meal are the numerous participants in the drama The Blowing and the Bending. The cast, one of the largest in Bethel history, included stu- dents, faculty, staff, and various children from the community. 22 CHARGE! — Lance Carrithersportrays the charac- ter of Toddy, who in turn impersonates the twenty- sixth president in Arsenic and Old Lace. OLD LACE — The two sisters, Dawn Abrahams and Amy Friesen, give each other a conspirational eye in the fall production of Arsenic and Old Lace. GREASE PAINT AND EYE LINER — Amy Friesen helps Sharia Kaufman prepare for the foot lights before a production of The Blowing and the Bend- ing. Marg Mosiey ■ Nonregistration Government and Military Responsibility vs Beliefs and Morals Cameras flashed; the reporters flocked; and the students came alive. The scene was slightly reminis- cent of the anti-wa r demonstrations of the 60 ' s. The occasion was the indictment of two Bethel students for failure to register for the draft. Kendal Warkentine, a senior from North Newton, Kansas, and Chuck Epp, a junior from Henderson, Nebraska, were the ninth and tenth nonregistrants to be indicted in the United States. Warkentine and Epp are two of a number of nonregistrants on campus. They feel that the government is using them as exam- ples to intimidate the other 800,000 men to register. The student body burst into action at the news of the indictments. Prayer meetings were held and support groups followed the court proceedings. Support was not unanimous among the students. As with any con- troversial stance, there are people who disagree. After the initial shock of the indictments wore off, Warkentine and Epp began planning their defense. In many ways the two have the same basis for their decision, yet they approach their charges from dif- ferent actions. Warkentine originally planned to plead no contest and later changed his plea to guilty Epp, on the other hand, pled not guilty and plans to fight his charge on moral and religious grounds. Warkentine wanted to plead no contest because according to his conscience he did nothing wrong, but he admits that he broke a law. The court refused to accept his plea. Consequently Warkentine became the first nonregistrantto plead guilty The incentive for Warkentine ' s plea came from the Bible. He cites Acts 5:29, We must obey God rather than men (NEB), and Romans 13:1, Every person must submit to the supreme authorities (NEB) as a basis for his decision. In essence, Warkentine refused to register accord- ing to the law because he found such an action con- trary to his understanding of the Bible. However, Warkentine also submits to the power of the U.S. government and the laws it establishes. Epp plans to contest the validity of the law itself. Epp ' s religious convictions were the basis for his non- registrant stance. However, he sees this issue as a chance to communicate to others, outside the Menno- nite faith, that humans can live peaceably Through his trial Epp hopes to reveal inconsisten- cies within the law which will nullify its authority A favorable decision for Epp would satisfy his philoso- phy that no one should be forced to fight in a war — even if they do not have strong religious convictions. The actions of these young men and others have once again raised the question of responsibility to the government and the military for the Bethel community No one has the perfect answer, but the events have caused the students to examine their beliefs and morals. A NONCONFORMIST — Kendal Warkentine, one of Bethel ' s publicly recognized nonregistrants, speaks candidly about his beliefs. ' 24 i FACES IN THE CROWD — Standing out in the crowd as they attend the Olde English Feasts are Barrel Wall, Bernice Preheim and Russ Ronne- baum. A PLAY FROM THE PAST — Presenting their characters ' three different selves in The Second Shepherds Play are Steve Stayrook, Michael Pankratz, Earl Parrish and Bruce Armin. Jude Martin BAA-A-A-A — Disguising thenDselves as sheep, the Madrigals contribute to the atmosphere of The Sec- ond Shepherds Play. 26 Jude Martin Chrislnias I est In True Olde English Style As the guests entered the hall they were greeted by the trumpet heralds. The lord and lady of the house reigned as the festivities began. The jester amused as the minstrel and madrigals entertained. The feast was thoroughly presented in con- gruence with its medieval theme. The language, the music, the humor, the dinner and the entertain- ment were all in Olde English style. Because of this, it seemed as though the eve- nings took place in miedieval England. It was, how- ever, the annual Christmas Rest. Dean and Mrs. Hinshaw and President and Mrs. Schultz alternately served as the lord and lady of the house. The minstrel, Marl Block, serenaded the guests, as did the brass quintet, Paul Rudy Paul Schrag, Nan Goering, Jeff Baumgartner and Russ Coon. Characteristically the jester. Dawn Abra- hams, stole the show. The evening was brought to a true medieval close by the presentation of The Second Shepherd ' s Play. Directed by Arlo Kasper, the cast included Bruce Armin, Steve Stayrook, Earl Parrish, Michael Pankratz, Marty Miller, Eric Gale, Larry Potter, Eric Unrau, Marilyn Peters and Joel Goertz. The play was unique in that the language was Olde English and large puppets were utilized to further the symbolism. As is tradition, the Pest w s closed by everyone singing Joy to the World. - SURELY YOU JEST — Dawn Abrahams entertains the guests as a jester at the 1 982 Christmas Fest. Jude Martin 27 Readers Theatre Changeof Pace, Lots ofWork, Challenging Justsay the words, Readers Theatre and its parti- cipants reply with a variety of responses. They may include, a change of pace, enjoyable, lots of work, interesting, and even challenging. Throughout the first sennester seven different groups were formed providing entertainment for many clubs, banquets, churches, and children. Of course each student involved in Readers Theatre had their own preference concerning their favorite type of program. Tim Wall explained, I prefer the comedy program. People always seem to be more responsive to funny scripts. The humorous scripts are easier to give. Lori Schultz based her preference on the au- dience. I prefer either banquets or group meetings and I definitely enjoy a younger crowd for an au- dience! Audiences first viewed a Readers Theatre group twelve years ago when the class was first offered. The class was first taught, and is still being directed by Ada Mae Haury According to Haury the groups originally did very few community programs. As she relin- quished her role in the Bethel Forensics program, she became more involved with the group. Readers The- atre gradually grew to be a popular credit course for students. However the popularity was not exclusively with the students, for community interest grew as well. Haury stated that all together the groups did an average of 50 programs per semester. The variety of programs the group presents is only one reason why students choose to take the class. According to Jeanette Voran, It is a program that not every other college has, and it provides a unique opportunity for people to get involved in drama, get to know people, and also travel around. Allen Jantz selected the class for another reason. Readers The- atre interested me in the way that drama interested me. It was however, more accessable to me with no auditions or anything like that. Lisa Janzen added, I keep taking it each semester because I like (and need) a change of pace. My group has lots of fun! These fun experiences are especially evident in the groups performances. Although often it is the more embarassing situations which are most memo- rable. Scott Funk recalls, My pants split down the middle during a performance. I had to finish the pro- gram with a coat around my waist. Tammy Duvanel tells of a time when her group gave a program for a Future Farmers of America banquet. According to Duvanel, The event was a pig roast. We went in overalls and flannel shirts, hats and boots, and wouldn ' t you know it, they were all dressed in suits and ties? We really had a blast. But why else would the students who participate in Readers Theatre go through the practices, hard work, traveling, cutting of scripts and the programs? Lisa Janzen said, We get to laugh at the scripts too, and sometimes our reaction to a script the first few times we read it makes it a classic for us and makes it fun to perform. The enjoyment Readers Theatre provides to the students, as well as the audiences makes it all worthwhile. 28 ' ;1 A SERIOUS SIDE — Readers Theatre can express many different moods. Here, Allen Jantz, Marty Mil- ler, Lisa Janzen, Lori Schultz and Brian Preheim communicate a more somber script. Lohrentz, Sarah Williamson, KayeWaltner and Nancy Flickinger present a humorous reading 29 DEDICATED ARTISTS — Even though they have not donned berets and setup easles, Deb Burkholder a McPher- son exchange student for Interterm, Gayle Lutsch, Scott Jost, and Carolyn Goertzen We- del earnestly work on watercolors during the January Interterm. BETTY CROCKER? — No, but Carrie Woods assumed a good like- ness to the famous chef while decorating a cake during Interterm. Marg Mosley 30 Ilnterterm on Campusi Not So Dull Afterall Characteristically, it is the off-campus interterm ac- tivities that seem to get all the glory. Students and professors alike buzzed excitedly about studying in California, London, Germany and even visiting other campuses. However, once one mentioned that Bethel College was home for January a deaf ear seemed to be turned. The fact that on-campus interterm activities were interesting was ignored once more this past year. If the truth should be known, the 1 983 interterm on campus held unique and interesting opportunities. Students had a chance to broaden their experience in watercolor, human genetics, photography and modern musicals, among others. One of the more demanding courses was Home Management. According to the ' sylVabus the course lasted from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It involved labs, task analyses, interviews and oral reports. Suz anne Dirks said of the class, It was a lot of work. But, one of the most challenging and fun projects was planning a meal for less than a dollar. In the modern musicals course, students not only learned through the methods of a normal academic SPEAK TO ME — Jan Goering, Marcia Flickinger and Joni Krehbiel put their heads together as they attempt to communicate with the computer. course, but they experientially learned through Man of La Mancha. Kimberly Schmidt summed up the course with, The course was designed to involve the student in not only all areas of production and per- formance, but we also studied the different elements which work together to create a good show. Visual Communication in Black and White offered several different aspects of photography Students completed assignments in motion, portrait work and special effects. Several results from the course can be found throughout this publication. And of course, there was the now extinct Capstone. During Interterm, it hit an all time high with an enroll- ment of 1 10. Capstone was of a different texture this year. It was the last Capstone and therefore themati- cally leaned toward its successor World Problems. Jude Martin said of the class, The professors pretty successfully blended political science, economics and international development. We had unusually high quality guest speakers and gained a unique in- sight into Guat emala because of Dr. Hurtado. Other than the courses themselves, various other activities took place. Students had chances to go roller skating, view a play at Crown Uptown and take in a concert of the Wichita Symphony Calling Bethel College home for the January of 1983 was not so dull after all. 31 Stude nt Teachers Face the Real World Will Always Remember the Headaches Many elementary school children may think their teachers are simply born in front of a chalkboard, or with a red pen in their hands, however the Elementary Education majors who are student teaching this year know differently. After all the required courses and methods classes are completed, it is time to get out into the real world. Lorene Goering, Education professor, stresses the importance of the experience in saying, Student teaching is a culmination of everything the students have learned thus far. It is the time when theory and practice come together. Many students felt that first day at school was not quite as bad as they thought it might be. Goering stated that the students positive attitude in their new roles was probably due to all the practice lessons they were able to teach in their methods classes. Those experiences, or smaller steps leading up to student teaching are so valuable. Dana Seizor, student teacher voiced similar views. The time I ' ve spent observing and teaching for various methods classes has paid off. A classroom feels comfortable to me. That first teaching experience might not have been traumatic, but all the student teachers agreed it was exhausting. After the first few days of classes Terri Gaeddert exclaimed, Today I can say TGIF and really mean it! It ' s amazing how being here just in the mornings seems to wear me out! I look back on the first week with an it ' s been good feeling and a sigh of relief. Gail Decker added, I am really tired some- days, and yet I ' m impressed with the amount of work and responsibility a teacher has to deal with each day Maybe you eventually take it all in stride. BeattyRobb continued, I think the public should come out one day to the school and see all the responsibilities a teacher has! All student teachers agreed that the rewards out- numbered the tough times. Judy Reimer learned how quick thinking can turn a difficult situation into a learn- ing experience ... for her, as well as for her class. Reimer explained, The lesson went well in spite of the disruption. A desk broke during a math lesson. I propped it up with a chair and then included it in our counting activity How many broken desks do we have? and they all chimed, One! A highlight of Lynne Watts ' student teaching experi- ences was an assignment her cooperating teacher gave to the class. Watts explained, The fifth graders were asked to package a raw egg so it would survive a 38-foot drop from the top of the school building! It was quite an experience as the children opened their con- tainers to determine the results. One of Decker ' s experiences was just as memorable, but perhaps not quite as enjoyable. I was on my second day of play- ground duty when a kindergartener came running up to me with blood running down his face. I must have panicked for a minute, because I actually had to ask him where the nurses office was. We went there and got ice for his forehead. While we waited for his mother to come we talked informally He told me it was only his ninth day of school! I wanted to say back to him, in an equally waining voice, ' It is only my ninth day of school too. ' But of course I couldn ' t. I think we kind of felt equally distressed. Others shared memorable experiences. Gaeddert will surely never forget the mile she ran every morning with her students. Robb will remember her concern over a slower student. Carol Williamson will never ' forget the time, early in her student teaching experi- ence when she was left in charge of the class. And of course all will remember the headaches, the occasional grouch days, and the tiredness. But eventually those memories will fade, and what will remain is the lasting impressions of a valuable learning experience. THE FIRST R — Gail Decker helps a Northridge student with his reading as part of her practical experience. FIRST STEP — Russell Goering gained experience with older students at Newton ' s First Step program. 32 33 Man of La Mancha Challenges and Memories Man of La Mancha is a show about Cervantes and what this experience, the playing of Don Quixote, does for him, and the effect it has upon his fellow prisoners, in a wider sense upon all his fellowmen, Arlo Kasper summarized. The musical is about Miguel de Cervantes, Arlo Kasper, who is imprisoned because he has foreclosed on a church. While awaiting his trial, Cervantes is forced to defend himself to his fellow prisoners, Cervantes ' defense takes the form of a tale about Quixote, in which the other prisoners participate. Al- donza, Kathy Kasper; Sancho, Mark Block; the Housekeeper, Marilyn Peters; the Padre, Kim Krahn; the Governor, Bob Clack, the Innkeeper ' s Wife, Angela Tatro; and the barber, Mike Shima were the main characters who participated. The show was done by a visiting director, Bill Meyers. The musical proved challenging in many ways. It seems that each character had his or her difficulties. Block said that trying to think fat and stupid was hard for him. Kathy Kasper responded that playing a woman of questionable repute opposite students who were much younger than she was a difficult aspect. As the difficulties fade with time, some memories will always linger Neither Block nor Kimberly Schmidt will forget opening night when he pulled on her skirt and it fell off. Schmidt screamed and frantically tried to salvage her garment. Block struggled against laugh- ter, and stayed in character Kathy Kasper cited her wig, the rat ' s nest, as a long term memory. And tragically, one memory that will remain with the show, is choreographer Anette Whillock ' s accident. While demonstrating a piece to the cast, she jumped through the open trap door and fell from the stage to the basement. This was a sobering moment for all present. All in all, those who participated enjoyed the show ANTIGONE a Greek tragedy a modern play Antigone followed the spring drama tradition of focusing on justice values. Kimberly Schmidt, who played the modern Antigone, said, Her Antigone ' s, ideas about reality and the duty each person has towards upholding ideals presented problems be- cause they bordered on the extreme . . . this extends back to her existential philosophy. There seemed to be conflict throughout the play; if now between individuals within Antigone herself. SANDWICHED— The Padre, Kim Krahn, flanked by the Housekeeper, Marilyn Peters and Antonia, Sharon Koehn, is an attentive listener THE MODERN ANTIGONE— Kimberly Schmidt reads her lines in an attempt to add depth to her character. FATHER AND SON— Mark Block and Seiichi Mat- suda play it during one of the last rehearsals. PRISONERS— In costume and looking very much their parts are Ron Brunk, Arlo Kasper, Rikki God- shall, Rachel Klassen, Mark Block and Kimberly Schmidt. The play was presented with a double cast. The first was a Sophoclean version and the second a modern one. The leading roles were respectively held by Lance Carrithers, Creon; Cindy Neufeld, Antigone; and Seichi Mansuda, Creon; Kimberly Schmidt, Anti- gone. While Schmidt found difficulty with the philosophy of her character, the Sophoclean actors dealt with depth and intensity problems. This was largely due to the foreign nature of Greek tragedy, although presenting the two versions back to back was helpful. Antigone did present a strong message to the few who attended. Cindy Neufeld understandably stated, This type of play is great experience for the actors, but it doesn ' t draw large crowds. 34 William Lovejoy THE TEAM— Tim Lohrentz, the freshman member, and Jenny Seifers, the senior member, comprised the SCAN team for 1 982-1 983. DRAINED— After an encounter with the needle, Scott Jost looks relieved to have given his pint of blood. 36 SCAN, [he Student Communily Aclion Network, ir; an ornanl alional toam consisting of stucJont voluntoors who fjarticipalo ifi corriinunity figoncios and projocts includ ing MCC and Prisoner Visitation at KSIR, Ttioy also f)lan and execute projects such as ttie biannual, on-carnpus bloodmobile. The bloodnriobile is scheduled once in the fall and once in the spring and is actually a way to give students a chance to donate blood without the inconvenience, which might otherwise deter them, of taking two to three hours to do so off campus. SCAN usually sets up a table in the Student Activity Center to publicize and pull in volunteers for both giving blood and helping with the process. The 1983 (spring) goal was a hundred volun- teers and SCAN almost met their goal with a final total of 97. Another project SCAN is involved in organizing is Big Brothers Big Sisters. Students usually spend two to three hours per week with a child who is from four to twelve years old and from a broken home or economically disadvantaged family. The goal is for the student to pro- vide the child with an image of a big brother or sister which they might not otherwise have. Two big group activities, including all the big brothers and sisters and their little brothers and sisters, in the 1982 1 983 college year, were the Christmas party and bowling party. SCAN was also in its second year of an adult-level con- tact program also. It is a Man to IVIan prisoner visitation program designed to provide inmates at KSIR in Salina with an outside contact person. Mainly it is meant to give the inmates some variety because they have no regular visitors. In 1 982 Harold Regier initiated contact with Bethel and suggested college student integration into this commu- nity program. At this point it was restricted to male stu- dents, however, one female, Jude Martin, did participate. Although it is frustrating for SCAN team members to think that not everyone knows who or what SCAN is, Jenny Siefers said that there has been a considerable increase in the use of the SCAN car. I think this is terrific. It shows that things are getting done and people are more willing to volunteer if they know they have transpor- tation. Generally, students who want to work with SCAN can choose the age group they feel most comfortable with. The elderly, teenagers, grade school children and pre- schoolers, as well as mentally and emotionally disabled or ill are all possibilities for volunteers. Jenny Siefers, the 1982-83 senior team member, said the importance of the Network lies in two areas, A lot needs to be done in the community and agencies some- times don ' t have the resources to do it. It doesn ' t take much of a student ' s time to help out, she continued. It is a great opportunity to help others without necessarily joining VS., and itprovidesstudents with away to interact with the community. SCAN, a privately funded organization, is not some- thing to be found on every college campus. In fact it may be the only one of its kind. SCAN one of a kind 37 the one acts a chance to try directing wings THE BALD SOPRANO— Kendell Warkentine, Mr. Smith, performs in the one-act play directed by Earl Parrish. All the world ' s a stage and all the men and women merely players, wrote Shakespeare in one of his plays. That was not the case for some actors at Bethel College. Members of the Play Production and Direction class taught by Arlo Kasper were all actors that the Bethel community had become quite familiar with on stage. However they tried their hand at directing. Amy Friesen, senior; Lance Carrithers, senior; Dawn Abrahams, junior; Angela Tatro, junior; and Earl Parrish, junior learned various techniques of directing and analyzing their scripts. The test of their abilities came with the performance of their plays. After their directing experience was nearly com- pleted, the students commented on the techniques they learned. Tatro commented that this had been an opportunity that all of us have waited for You learn by trying your wings. You see what works with people and what doesn ' t. Carrithers agreed that he learned to deal with peo- ple. You don ' t learn drama or theater or how to be creative. I look at directing as relating, like a mother, father or philsopher Oh sure, there ' s creativity in- volved, but it ' s more relational. Learning from other directors was also part of the class. Many of these students were cast in classmates ' plays. Friesen said, I think up ideas for my own use by seeing what others do. sometimes you say, ' Oh, I ' d never make my actors do that, ' or Til have to remem- ber to try that with my cast sometime. ' Friesen also found help in class when they would talk over their problems or bring in their cast to do acting exercises. According to Parrish, What we have learned is understanding of what needs to be done with the play We can do anything with the play that we want to, but we need to understand what the playwright wants the director to do. William Lovejoy 38 THE CONSUL a tradition breaker The drama and music do[;artrfK;rii ' ,, in a cornbmod effort, croated Bethel history in fff; spring of 1983. Tradition was broken, and a trarjir, opera was pre- sontcKi (Vlcnnoti ' s The Consul was descritjod t; director Bob Clack as a ' ' story of oppression and bureaucracy, of the shunting aside of the needs of an individual by the laws of the state. iVlagda Sorel, Kathy Kasper, becomes increasingly frustrated as the plot progresses. She attempts to obtain a visa so that she may join John, her husband, played by William Schmidt. She must endure the repression of the Consul ' s secretary and those also waiting for visas. In the re- maining scenes, IVlagda faces depression at home. Her child dies, as does John ' s mother, IVlarilyn Peters. The opera climaxes when Magda, in an attempt to save her husband and his comrades, commits suicide. The depressive nature of the play had its toll upon the actors. Kaye Waltner, the Consul ' s secretary said, I got very tired of being the villain. It started effecting my own character, my real self, during the production week. Sandy Nickel, Vera Boronel, also felt certain effects. Nickel said, During the opera, I felt that I was contin- ually waiting, I was tense and nervous. The day after the last production. 1 went to the doctor ' s office and was kept waiting for over an hour. I started to get nervous and tense just like before. It was the Consul ' s office all over again. The oppression of The Consul should not be dwelled upon. It has several positive factors. It offered a musical challenge to both actors and accompanist, and confronted the audience with a somewhat foreign alternative, to mention two. Those in the cast not yet mentioned were James Schrag, The Secret Police Agent; Sharia Kaufman, The Foreign Woman; Rikki Godshall, Mr. Kofner; Janice Frey, Anna Gomez; Lynn Preheim, The Magi- cian; Bruce Toews, Assan, and Seiichi Matsuda, The Plain Clothesman. The music direction was by Walter Jost. The accompanist wasSonyaWedel. Waltner probably summed up the cast ' s feeling with , It all fell into place a lot better than I thought it would two weeks before the show. Overall, I felt that the opera was a real success.

It seems that most of these students decided upon a career in social work early in their education. Many cited family background as a big influence, like Lisa Loeffler who said, I grew up with parents involved in the mental health field. It was very interesting to me. When I took my first class, it felt right. Jane Voth started classes directed to an art major but decided she wanted to get into something more people oriented. She continued to say that she was encouraged to go into counseling because it was in tune with my Christian beliefs. Jenny Seifers, who has been a social work major for all four years, said, I always knew I wanted to do it, In sixth grade I decided I wanted to help people. Jude Martin transferred to Bethel in September of 1 980 and has been in the social work program for three years. She took longer than most of the other students in the program to decide what she wanted to do, but refers to her Menno- nite background and her parents ' people-oriented ca- reers as contributing to her decision. Patt Warders, also involved in the program all four years, wanted to work with people and especially children. Shelly Adam said that many things contributed to her decision to go into social work. I am especially in- terested in counseling and working with high school students whose parents are divorced. Randy Goering, graduated at the end of the fall 1 982 semester He was a returning student at the time. The interests expressed by these students mainly in- fluenced the type of work and where they did their field placement. As a result, the placement program was help- ful in a variety of areas. Jude Martin worked at the Axtell Christian Hospital for 30 hours per week. She had a case load and was mainly responsible for placing people in nursing homes and working with people with chronic illnesses and their fami- lies. At the Social Rehabilitation Services (SRS) in El Dorado, Shelly Adam was placed in a counseling area. She remembers one incident, When I was first there I was supposed to get a view of the whole operation so I sat in on some income maintenance sessions pretending to be a client. That turned out kind of embarrassing when some people from the community came in and I knew them. Patt Warders ' field placement included a position at the Kansas Children ' s Service League where she screened foster parent families, the children to go to them and the natural parents of the children. Although Pat has had a few unpleasant experiences, she still wants to find something along that line after graduation. One of the most strenuous field placement studies was that of Lisa Loeffler who maintained a position at the McPherson Community Mental Health Services for over 400 hours in a ten-week period. I had a few cases of my own and I helped with divorce education, she said. I want to be in the mental health field. Sometime I ' m plan- ning to go to grad school and specialize in it. After her field placement experience Lisa said, Social work didn ' t make a whole lot of sense before field placement. I never realized how good my classes were! Jenny Seifers worked at the Beth el Deaconess Hospi- tal and Bethel Home for the Aged for her field placement training. Her main responsibilities included working with patients and their families to help them deal with the patients ' illnesses. She listened to concerns and fears and made herself available to work through problems with the family One unique experience for her happened when at the Home a confused lady asked if I was a boy or a girl. I had to delicately explain that I was not an inpatient but a volunteer and a girl. I even had on a dress! Jane Voth was placed at SRS in Newton, where she worked with a case load and gained a feel for all areas involved in the center Jane had quite a bit of experience previously in socially centered activities, including help- ing in a preschool and working as a camp counselor When faced with a difficult situation during her field place- ment at SRS, she said she was surprised at her reaction. You learn it all in class but then there you are and it ' s amazing! It works! All the things you learned in class really help, she said, laughing. The field placement program, for these students, was a wonderful success. Many were surprised at how much they had learned in class, and how much poise and coping ability they had when faced with a tough situation. It was an encouraging, eye-opening experience for all; one they will not forget easily 40 LISTENING— Jenny Seifers lends an ear to a resi- dent at Bethel Home as part of her field placennent. strates the extent of red tape that is required at SRS. ACHIEVEMENTi AwARds bACCAUuREATE deqREES bETfiEL hoNOR sociETy At each college year ' s end comes the awarding of achievement. Spring ushers in the Thresher Award, the baccalaureate degree, membership in the Bethel Honor Society, and ushers out, in this year ' s case, 1 36 graduates. The class of ' 83, which was the largest in Bethel history, was comprised of 71 women and 56 men totaling 127 individuals who received the baccalaure- ate degree; seven women and two men totaling nine persons who received the associated of arts degree; and three men and one woman who received both the AA and BA BS degree. This came to a complete total of 1 36 graduates, receiving 1 40 degrees. The grad- uates came from diverse geographical areas. They represented 19 states as well as Canada, Zaire, Ethiopia, Germany, India and Saudi Arabia. The majors of Nursing and Economics and Busi- ness Administration held the most graduates, totaling 18 each. Elementary Education followed with 17, In- dustrial Arts with 10, Social Work with nine, Biology with eight. Art with seven and Psychology with six. Of the Associate of Arts degrees, seven were in secretar- ial studies and six in Agriculture. All of these statistics seem quite formal. The gradu- ate ' s perspective however, is more down to earth. Matthew Gilmore said of graduation, It doesn ' t feel any different. After working on exams, graduation seemed anticlimactic. Karolyn Graber ' s attitude seemed to be along the same line. When she was interviewed the Monday following graduation, she said, Right now I was outside washing the car just like any other person. You don ' t need a college diploma to do that. Of course the 25 individuals continuing with gradu- ate study did not view Bethel graduation as the usual milestone. The aniticipation of further research, practi- cum and exams put a damper on the celebration. One would have expected that the various awards conferred upon individuals would have added exulta- tion to the end of the year This is not necessarily true, however The awards seemed to have an ambiguous effect. Heidi Regier, who received a Thresher Award in Bible and Religion said, It ' s an honor, it ' s an affirma- tion and it feels good. But, I also think that there are others as qualified. I tend to feel uncomfortable being pulled out and awarded things. Uncertainty about the awards is justified. Many a student has sat through the awards convocation and wondered, How is one chosen for a Thresher? , Why do certain departments present awards while others don ' t. , and Why didn ' t they have a Thresher award in History? They did last year. The answers to these questions are somewhat am- bigous. Sometimes the Thresher is awarded for a certain body of work, while at other times it is given for work done over the four year college term. In some cases the department may choose the award. But, in other cases an outside source may be the judge. Departments may choose not to present the award because of a lack of student distinction, or merely because they are unorganized and do not begin the process in time. Bob Regier said, I have some question about the meaning of the Thresher Award and what it repre- sents. The standards are so diverse . . . It ' s a chance for a department to get its moment in the sun at the awards convocation. But, that ' s not worth doing it. There are some that value highly the award, how- ever, a recipient of a Thresher, Lance Carrithers said, In forensics, especially, after four years you receive trophies. But trophies are just that: trophies. The Thresher is a recognition here on campus ... of a job well done. Thus is appears that feelings concerning awards vary considerably. However they viewed the award, those receiving Thresher Awards for 1 983 were Heidi Regier in Bible and Religion, Amy Louise Friesen in Drama, Galen Hofer in Industrial Arts, William Schmidt in Music, LeAnna Voth in Nursing, Mark Springer in Natural Science, Lance Carrithers in Speech Communications and Connie Regier in Home Economics. Those receiving Service Awards were Jenny Siefers, SCAN senior team member, Tim Lohrentz, SCAN freshman team member; Jerry Otto, Student Senate President; Tammy Duvanel, Student Senate Executive Secretary; Lisa Janzen, Editor of The Colle- gian; and Sandy Nickel Editor of The Thresher. Other awards included The Wall Street Journal Award, Robin Flickinger; Newton Chamber of Com- merce Award, Mike Wedel; Outstanding Mennonite Contribution Award: Barry Bartel, Jim Schmidt, Ken- dal Warkentine; and the C. Henry Smith Oratorical Contest: first place to Galen Seymour, second place to Paul Schrag. Admittance to the Bethel Honor Society is one rec- ognition that has little controversy surrounding it. It is generally accepted that the Honor Society represents the highest graduation honor As Bob Regier put it, it represents the cream of Academic achievement. The following 1 983 graduates were selected for mem- bership in the society: Jennifer Dyck, Robin Flickinger, Terri Gaeddert, Karolyn Graber, Dave Kliewer, Ronald Klippenstein, Marvin Kym, Galen Quenzer, Heidi Re- gier, Judith Reimer, Mark Rich, James Schmidt, Dana Selzer and Mark Springer Judy Reimer said that it was exciting to get it (the membership) and especially since it was the first year Education majors were admitted to the Honor Society. Karolyn Graber summed up her feelings in a way that could apply to any graduate, It felt like an honor and my parents were very proud of me.

Possessing a very warm personality and a willingness to get to know people, he has commented that he in turn finds the students of B.C. very friendly and accommodating. Huang taught the course Introduction to Chinese History and Culture in the fall, as well as a Continuing Education class, Modern China and its Cultural Heritage. Academics, of course, (as every student realizes) is not every- thing in life, and so with the visiting professor. Though he was a campus-dweller along with the students, he enjoyed taking in such events as the Ice Capades, a symphony concert, and oc- casional dinners at the homes of fellow faculty members. He made several good friends in his work at the college, but also said that many faculty as well as students, are quite busy Additional activities enjoyed by Professor Huang are pho- tography and that familiar pastime, watching television, though as he said, he is not so used to our programs, especially to the quantity of com- mercials, compared to TV in Chin a Bryan Rebe ' EXPLORING THE FAR EAST — Professor Huang shares a new perspective on his home land with onlooking students. The professor descnbed his ability to get along with his students favorably saying he en- joys teaching. In comparing Bethel students in a generalized way with their Chinese counter- parts, he remarked that here, students are much less serious, and also not quite as hard-working as those he is used to at home. He doesn ' t see this as all bad, however, noting that American students seem to know how to have fun, and are often smiling. Did Mr. Xinqu have to change his lifestyle in moving to Kansas? Yes, somewhat, but his stay was enjoyable and he felt at home. Culture shock had more to do with minor differences, such as the grocery store, where prices are not fixed as they are in China. A lasting impression of his stay is not a cultural difference such as this, but rather the friendli- ness and fellowship he encountered while here, I have been taken good care of and will be loaded with happy memories. I ' ll never forget the interesting experience I ' ve had at Bethel, was the summation of Huang Xinque as he looked in retrospect at his time as visiting profes- sor, u Mar - Jaiizen Hilda Voth Mennonite Library and Archives Assistant Lawrence Voth Director of Development Reinhard Voth Maintenance Barbara Warkentine Bookstore Manager Marjorie Warta Associate Professor of Home Economics Emerson Wiens Registrar and Assistant Dean Professor of Industrial Arts Wayne Wiens Professor of Biology LaWanda Wiens Associate Registrar Laurie Wolfe Mennonite Library and Archives Huang Xin-Qu Chinese Exchange Professor in Peace Studies Perry Yoder Professor of Bible and Religion Sandra Zerger Director of Learning Resource Center FACULTY AND Robert Clack Assistant Professor of Drama Dave Deutschendorf Associate Dean of Students Women ' s Varsity Basketball Coach Debra Flickinger Secretary of Student Services Haury Hall Resident Director Diane Flickner Assistant Professor of HPER Larry Friesen Associate Professor of Social Work LeaGilles Administrative Secretary for Nursing Howard Habegger Visiting Professor of Bible and Religion Ken Hartzler Women ' s Varsity Tennis Coach Betty Holderread Lecturer in Education Deborah Hunsberger Assistant Professor of German Dorothea Janzen Lecturer in Religion STAFF NOT PICTURED Mary Ann Jost Lecturer in Home Economics Arlo Kasper Associate Professor of Drama Albert Klassen Mail Clerk James Klassen Lecturer in Math Cornelius Krahn Emeritus Director of Mennonite Library and Archives Dwight Krehbiel Assistant Professor of Psychology Leona Krehbiel Librarian Emeritus Norm Lichti Instructor in Computer Science Herbert Miller Maintenance Janet Newell Assistant Professor of Nursing Gregory Robbins Lecturer in Bible and Religion 92 George Rogers Margaret Toews Director of Athletics Instructor in Instrumental Music Associate Professor of HPER Gerrit Veendorp Track Coach and Assistant Football Coach Assistant Custodian in Fine Arts Center and Kidroh Kent Rogers Cottage Assistant Professor of HPER Lena Veendorp Head Football Coach Custodian in Fine Arts Center and Kidron Cottage Gordon Schrag Max Voran Assistant Instructor in Guitar Lecturer in Education Carolyn Schultz Bob Ward Administrative Assistant and Hostess Instructor in Computer Science Director of Wheat Packaging Arnold M.

But ttiat is rvactly what ttiS ' s- Os s ' ; Choir did from fVlarcfi 19 to April 3, as the toured Canada and northwest United States, Representing just one mixed reaction was Sharia Kauf- man, senior, who said, I didn ' t really like the idea of giving up my Spring Break, but in the end, it was worth it. Tours like that can provide some of the best college experiences. Mike Shima, senior, added, I thought the tour would be rather lengthy, but also knew it would be a marvelous way to see the country, meet new friends a nd old, and to tell people about the college. The tour did provide an excellent public relations op- portunity for Bethel. David Linscheid, assistant director of admissions, accompanied the choir to aid in this area. Choir director Maries Preheim commented, Dave as an excellent cohort, and fit in well. According to Tim Wall, junior, one of the longest run- ning jokes of the tour was the mispronunciation of Lin- scheid ' s name. Finally, he was just dubbed Dave Wind- shield by the choir members. A variety of humorous and positive experiences domi- nated the tour Morale was kept high on the trip mainly through choir members ' antics. June Unruh. junior re- called Marilyn Peters as an excellent stewardess mixing air drinks on the Winfield Flight Service. Others men- tioned the questionable Aardvark Neutering Service, perhaps an incident only a choir member on the tour could truly understand. Mike Shima sighted March 27 as a particularly memo- rable day. It was his birthday and the choir was singing in a church service. That morning the pastor gave a special announcement for Mike which read, Happy Birthday, from Shortcake and the gang. The special message was from his mother, sister and brothers and preceded the entire congregation ' s rendition of the Happy Birthday song. Steve Perry, freshman, was known for giving out an- nouncements and awards of his own, some of which are unprintable. Otherwise the tour consisted of snoozing, eating, game playing, and trying to study. Many remarked that they enjoyed meeting so many host families. Apparently conversation did not only take place be- tween choir members and hosts, but between the choir members themselves. Kaufman said. I gotto know choir members better There were some I had never even talked to who are now my closest friends. Preheim also saw the benefit of the group getting to know each other The choir does unconsciously become a unit.

The 1921 Graymaroon Ir.to this as trie purpose of the organization: The Horno Economics Club was organized this year for the purpose of stimulat- ing a greater interest in the artistic and scientific aspects of our homes and of helping develop the social life of school. Over the past 62 years the club has disbanded and reorganized numerous times. The purpose and objec- tives of the Home Economics Club have changed ith the reorganizations. Dr Marjorie H. Warta sees that a purpose of Home Ec, Club IS to provide leadership: We need these organiza- tions to develop leadership qualities in today ' s students. Working together as a group provides skills necessary to participate in society. Ellen Samuelson and Dr Warta have worked jointly with the Home Ec. Club as advisors, incorporating edu- cational and leadership experiences as well as social activities into the programs. This year the Home Economics Club had 15 mem- bers. Throughout the school year these members or- ganized programs that increased knowledge in the field of home economics, provided community service, raised money for the club ' s expenses and provided fellowship among students with similar interests. The annual monster cookie sale at Fall Pest and the H.E.L.P. (Home Economics Life-saving Program) kits for freshman college students dunng finals week are fund- raisers for the club. Educational programs were planned to inform the club members of various cultures and life-styles by hosting a special speaker and preparing an international meal. A State Student Workshop that was held in fall gave mem- bers an opportunity to explore careers in home economics. One of the main activities each year is a community service project. These projects service a need in the Bethel or Newton community and also develop good relations on campus and in the community. The annual hamburger fry in fall, Create-A-Crepe at Christmas and the farewell meeting for graduating mem- bers have almost become a tradition for the Home Ec. Club. Through these opportunities of fellowship and teamwork valuable friendships have been made. Perhaps this is one of the most positive aspects of the Home Economics Club at Bethel.

Forensics team than giving sfKjoches and roading prjotry. Being on the nationally ranked sixth-place squad meant being first-class frugal. Big spenders simply did not make the cut, nor did people who enjoy cultural things, like food that doesn ' t come wrapped in paper or clean sheets. They didn ' t complain about this forced cheapness much, but it certainly led the group into some interesting situations that will always be remembered. Take, for in- stance, the motels in which they have stayed. The Ware- ham in Manhattan was a good example. The place had everything— winos, a distinct aroma, hot and cold run- ning cockroaches, and color televisions. Theirs was yel- low, as was recalled. Then there was the Wright Motel in Denver, which turned out to be sooooo wrong. . . . But, the forensic team did more than sleep cheap. They ate cheap, too. Generally, they had breakfast at McDonald ' s, lunch at McDonald ' s, and then they stopped at a McDonald ' s for dinner On occasion, they tried a Hardee ' s or a Burger King for variety. They did, once in awhile, sneak in a good meal. They ate Valentino ' s pizza in Lincoln, Nebraska, but, like usual, ordered too much of one kind and not enough of another They ate pizza after their finish at Nationals, but various ones of the group became anti-social and played video- games during most of the meal. Once they ate crawdads in Lousiana. One sqaud member commented, It ' s hard to make a meal of some- thing that looks like it could carry on a conversation with you. They traveled cheaply as well. They went everywhere by van. It ' s amazing how much it is possible to dislike someone after riding to Ogden, Utah, and back packed tightly in a Bethel van. Their vans took them everywhere. This year they went through fog, rain, sleet, snow, and once through the ditch. They certainly get around. The best example of cheap, though, is the fact that they win dishes and stuff at tournaments and they keep them. For example. Lance Carrithers won a sixth-place plate in Dramatic Interpretation at the American Foren- sics Association National Individual Events Tournament. That ' s not bad, being sixth in the nation. Tammy Duvanel won a sixth-place plate for Communication Analysis. Lance took his prose and his poetry to semi-finals, and Gretchen Wells competed at semis level m Dramatic Interpretation. So, for that matter did Jim Schmidt, who did Extemporaneous Speaking. Chnsty Zeltner was a quarter-finalist in After-Dinner Speaking, and Duvanel competed at this level, too, in Impromptu Speaking. The year was a good one. Next year should be even better. Watch out, Mac ' s, ' casue here we come. - T mm - Duvanel REACH-OUT— Amy Schmidt reaches out in antici- pation to the coming ball.

They condition, drill, tone and continue the motion of the threshing. 103 ICAIIMS RESPECT You had to look at a lot more than their win-loss record to evaluate the 1982 Bethel football season. The Threshers gained respect around the league far beyond what their 3-6 final tally might indicate. I think we surprised a few people, said head coach Kent Rogers. There ' s no doubt that we showed a lot of improvement this season. Win or lose, the Threshers always gave the fans their money ' s worth, playing one close game after another Five games were decided by seven points or less. Of these the Threshers won two. All could have gone either way. The emotional highlight of the season was undoubt- edly the McPherson game, in which the Threshers staged one of the most incredible comebacks in the annals of Bethel football. Playing on the road, the Threshers trailed 31-13 with a mere nine minutes re- FOOTBALL TEAM— Front Row: Ron Reber, Lynn Huebert, Mike Kaufman, Nathan Hart, Randy McPherson, Steve Howard, Wes- ton Van Beck, Tinn Kirtley, Jerold Heide, Dan Frye, Carl Stofers, David Jones.

The Threshers enjoyed an outstanding offensive year. Junior quarterback Dan Frye rewrote the Bethel record book, setting three game, three season and four career passing marks, including total yards pass- ing. Senior place kicker Nathan Hart established a new career field goal record with 20, and was perfect in extra point attempts in 1 982. Nine Threshers were chosen to all-KCAC teams, including senior Randy McPherson, national NAIA Ail- American honorable mention, and senior Mike Kauff- man, NAIA first team academic Ail-American. Other four-year lettermen finishing their Bethel foot- ball careers were Lynn Huebert and Ron Reber Eric Rhoades, who tied for the league lead in interceptions, was chosen the top freshman.

But the team accepted the challenge and fared well. The summer was filled with swimming and weight lifting workouts, and dreams of success for the members of the teams. The ladies also assisted Coach Flickner in holding numerous annual volleyball clinics at Bethel and around the area. Fall brought 6:30 a.m. practices and two-a-days as the team prepared for their toughest pre-season play ever This included a tournament at Tulsa University with Kan- sas State and Oral Roberts University.

The conference play was a different story. The 1982 Edition sailed right through all-conference play without losing a single game. This was a new record in Thresher volleyball history. The end of conference record was 1 8-0 for matches; 36-0 for games. They were followed by Kansas Wesleyan at 13-5; and Friends University with 11-7. Seniors Lori DeGarmo and Lisa Loeffler were named to the 1982 KCAC All Conference Team. Robin Craig and Brenda Weber, sophomores, were given Honorable Mention. After completing conference, the 1982 Edition moved right into NAIA District 10 play at Fort Hays State University. They defeated Benedictine, Pittsburg State, and Friends University in pool play and returned to a victory over Kansas Wesleyan in regular tournament play In the finals of the tournament, however, the ladies lost an exciting 5-game upset to Fort Hays, the scores being 8-15, 15-11, 16-14, 10-15, 13-15. Other honors included Lisa Loeffler and Lori DeGarmo voted NAIA District 10 Volleyball Team.

The vet- erans include Lori Schultz, at number one singles, Nancy VanHoozier, at number two singles, Carrie Woods, at number three singles, and Kathy Wedel, at number four singles. The newcomers were freshmen Kay Schroeder, and sophomore Amy Schmidt who filled in the number five and six singles positions. The number one, three, and four singles players were fairly consistent throughout the season, all of whom won 50 percent or more of their matches. Jun- ior, Carrie Woods, was the most consistent player on the team this year winning 70 percent of her singles matches. When asked to comment on this year ' s con- ference matches Carrie stated, Our conference record of 3-2 reflects the team. We lacked experience and confidence. We won the matches that we should have and lost the close ones because of inexpe- rience. On October 15 and 16 the team traveled to River- side Tennis Courts in Wichita where they competed in the KCAC Tournament and placed 4th. The top indi- vidual finish in the tournament was by junior, Kathy Wedel, who went undefeated in tournament play, and finished first in fourth singles. Other successful finishes were by the number two and number three doubles teams. The number two doubles team of VanHoozier and Woods won 74 per- cent of all their doubles matches and placed third in the KCAC Tournament. Amy Schmidt and Kay Schroeder, at third doubles, also placed third. The entire lineup should be back next year, with some experience under their belts, and should be- come a stronger, more com potent team.

Finishing seventh in the KCAC, winning five games, the Threshers struggled through a 5-19 season that seemed to start downhill with a loss to Bethany at home on Dec. 4. A controversial last-second heave by Brian Brashears gave the Swedes a one-point victory. We developed a ' snake bitten ' attitude after that game, said Robb. We thought even if we fought hard we couldn ' t win. A win would have been a real confi- dence booster for the upcoming KCAC season. But the cagers did come back from the heartbreak- ing defeat to enjoy several victorious moments, includ- ing two wins over both Ottawa and Sterling, accounting for four KCAC wins. The game where we came back from a 17-point half-time deficit to beat Ottawa was definitely a high point, said Robb. Even in defeat we played well.

According to Robb, there was much individual im- provement particularly in the jayvee program led by assistant coach Rex Hawver Behind several last-second victories, the jayvee squad rolled up a 10-8 record highlighted by a one- point win over Panhandle State University of Okla- homa and a 20-1- point rout of St. Mary ' s, both at home. Other individual improvement was seen in seniors Eric Habegger and Russ Ronnebaum who were named honorable mention All-KCAC. Habegger led the team in rebounding while Ronnebaum earned scoring honors and was invited to play in the District 10 All-Star game. Sophomore James Regier worked his way from jayvee to a starting role and ended up leading the team in both field goal and free-throw percentage. At the year ' s end, the entire squad chose Habegger as Most Valuable Player, senior Mark Hill as Most Inspirational and freshman Jim Rudeen as Most Im- proved. „; _ Mark Siebert HIGH FLIER— Russ Ronnebaum puts a high arch on his shot as he aims for another basket.

Just as the mail is sent in spite of obstacles, the team also delivered an impressive season, sending five people to the national competition in Charleston, West Virginia. And yet, it only took place after hard work and dedication early in the season. According to Connie Regier, The greatest challenge was the weather The weather proved discouraging throughout the season, but I felt by the end of the season we were running fairly well. And fairly well was hardly even the word for it. In the KCAC meet, a season highlight both for the men and the women, they had an excellent showing. Plac- ing in the men ' s division was Tim Conrad with a sec- ond placing in the discus and the hammer. In the high jump, Eric Unrau finished second as well. Top placing in the women ' s division included a first place finishing for Marcia Nickel in the high jump, along with a third placing in the 100 meter hurdles. The relay team finished second in the 400 meter relay and the 1600 meter relay. In the 400 meter dash Deb Regier ' s time was good enough for a first and Connie Regier came in at a close second. Andrea Schmidt won top honors in the 800 meter run. In the 200 meter dash the Regier sisters switched places, Connie had the first placing and Deb had the second place title. Naturally following the KCAC meet, was the District 1 0 competition in McPherson. Bethel took third in that tournament following Ft, Hays State and Bethany. According to Coach George Rogers, the meet was an especially good one for Conrad. Tim had a super day in both events. He will have an excellent chance at a placing in West Virginia. Conrad finishing first in the discus and second in the hammer. Eric Unrau ' s high jump was good enough for second. George Leary ' s hammer throw placed sixth. Chuck Voth took fourth in long jump. The women did every bit as well, placing first in the 400 meter relay, and 1600 meter relay. In the 400 meter dash Bethel dominated as well. Schmidt placed first, Deb Regier second, Connie Regier third, and Carmen Goering sixth. Connie Regier was the first place finisher in the 200 meter dash and sister Deb Regier finished third. Connie Regier summed up the season in this way, The highlight of the track season was when Coach Rogers gave us the chance to run at Nationals in West Virginia. The competition and the experiences we had there are ones w e will never forget.

Although only barely falling short of that goal, the outstanding season gave no cause for complaints. After competing against a variety of teams including Tulsa University, Kansas State University, Cowley County, and other area competition, the team placed second in the KCAC. That honor was bestowed only after a lot of hard work from those on the 1983 team. They included Lehr, Todd Esau, Wendall Funk, Tom Craven, Marvin Kym, and David Weaver. Although the team finished second behind Bethany, Lehr came through with a placing of first in number one singles competition. Lehr, along with Esau finished second in doubles , at the tournament. The KCAC placing allowed the team to advance to the District 10 Tournament held in Wichita. In singles, Lehr won the first round over Kossover, but fell after two tough sets, 6-4, and 7-2 in the finals. Skill wise, Kevin was equal to any other player there, but tennis is a game requiring a whole lot of momentum to win, and Kevin just seemed to lack it somewhat on that particular day, was Coach Paul Thiessen ' s comment. Doubles competition proved to be similar with Lehr and Esau defeating Fort Hays 6-2, and 6-3, but falling to Baker in the finals, 6-3, 2-6, and 6-2. According to Thiessen, the game shifted momen- tum during the match. The teams were equally skilled. Baker simply took control in the final set. According to Esau, Everybody has really pulled with each other this season. It was a team effort to get where we did. Thiessen agreed, The team did an excellent job, I am very proud of their efforts.

Al- though not necessarily doing better they are definitely holding their own along with the already established men ' s team. The women ' s team was formed this year due to a basic interest on campus. The women had either parti- cipated on the men ' s team, or were active spectators in the preceding years. Doris Dyck commented, I ' ve been going to the men ' s games ever since I came to Bethel, and it looked like so much fun, I wanted to play too. Later she added, In the past, women have played on the men ' s team, but I knew there was enough interest on campus for a separate women ' s team. Others cited different reasons for joining the team. Gretta Hiebert explained, I ' ve always admired soc- cer players for their agility and stamina. I wanted to try it myself in the company of other rank beginners. Barbara Nessler chose to participate because of the group interaction the sport would involve. The club gives the opportunity to exercise in a group, without taking a class or participating in one of the varsity sports. According to Alaine Peaslee-Hinshaw, she en- couraged the Bethel women to start a soccer program for themselves because of a positive experience with a team she had been on while attending a college in Wisconsin. All the women seemed to agree, the pro- gram was not going to go unless they did it them- selves. They are glad they did. Alice Deckert was enthu- siastic about the benefits of the program. It ' s a good way to meet people and it ' s excellent physical exercise as well. Susan Samson added, I like picking out a skill and developing it. I also especially enjoy the teamwork. Team effort seems to be what the program is all about. Dyck was referring to teamwork when she said, In this game, you can ' t go anywhere by yourself, not even if you ' re really good, it ' s when we mediocre players work together that it all begins to happen. As one can see, the rewards of the program are many the less favorable aspects are few. The only complaints the women had included battling the weather, finding adequate practice time, and of course the hours it takes to get into condition. Heidi Regier commented, I tend to feel less in shape than is necessary. But for me the ' pain ' of really exerting physically always has to be overcome psychologically before I ' ll really enjoy the practice and the games. Nessler added, My least favorite aspect is condition- ing as well, but I see the necessity of being in good shape. And Coach Christopher Hinshaw helps them do just that. Each of the participants gave nothing but praise to their leader Chris is a wonderful cofich, com- mented Hiebert. He has lots of concrete advice on strategy and training. Dyck also said, He ' s been nothing but enthusiastic. Yes, he pushed us, but we ' d get ' nowhere ' without that. The women ' s soccer team is definitely some- where and they plan to continue to progress. Peaslee-Hinshaw expressed the possibility of joining a Wichita Women ' s League next fall. Deckert added, We ' re all interested in seeing women ' s soccer con- tinue, and I believe we will all work to keep it here for a longtime. ,, Gail Decker MEN ' S SOCCER always exciting As the Soccer Club kicked around the idea of be- coming a varsity sport they completed a successful fall season compiling a 5-3 record. Coach Paul Thiessen has been working on getting some new, young soccer players out on the field, to replace some of the more traditional members, in a transition that may lead the club into becoming a team. Coach Thiessen recognized the growing numbers of enthusiastic fans and the new soccer field as factors in this year becoming one of the most exciting sea- sons ever Every year we seem to get more and more fans and this year continued that tradition, com- mented Thiessen, who added, Moving from a prac- tice field filled with hammer and shot put holes to one of the best fields in Central Kansas, helped make this season an exciting one. After literally, getting faced by Hesston College mid- way into the season Thiessen stated that the club, Realized that there was a different style of play from what they had been playing. After Hesston they be- came a new club, going for the play passing off more, playing more like a team, rather than a conglomera- tion of students, faculty, and community people who meet a few times a week to carry on an unorganized practice. The spring season offered a different type of organi- zation to the team. They had a community leadership, with no one person given the title of coach. Because of this, the team reverted to its old style of play finish- ing the spring season with no wins. Regardless of whether or not the Soccer Club be- comes a Soccer Team with a single coach, the club can always be looked toward for exciternent.
