What would it be like to run on the clouds? The wind against your face, the softness under your feet. But the race doesn't always end that way; for the clouds turn to stone and your breath leaves, only to come back in gasps. There's a pounding behind you, you wish you could fly; but you're earthbound. 22 The Soccer Club really got a kick out of last year. Showing some brilliant performance and good balance they surprised most of their stronger opponents. They actually passed-by most of them and even balled-up the International team of the University of Minnesota. One individual standout was goalie Jon Nordstrom, a handy player to have around. Another was Pete Wicklund who showed some of the finer points of the game. Even Lee Gran-lund made a point of keeping the other team on their toes. What was their goal? Many of the players decided to use their heads and push for varsity status. This year we should field a few upsets to our favored opponents. 23 we had a fine bunch of guys with a lot of fighting spirit. That wasn't enough — the team lost. But it lost more than a few games, it lost a man: someone that stuck with the team through some long seasons. someone that fought the fact that no athletic scholarships were available. someone that deserved a lot of gratitude, but received little. someone that went against all the odds — and the odds won. Coach Mo Shields decided that it was time to step down and let someone else try . We lost a coach. 24 25 l§i: ' mm ftillsl pp|M a •s' ?f x .v v,«r p®� :%$§8S M$S ' WMZjX nip Ml m i mm £ ini 4$ iiiiiii 1111® W i$'$m v? V : : ,.' v ' • v-' $%?« mm; m iliilP • . • • ; .•.• ♦ v •.

Those we know who possess this beauty we take pleasure in knowing. There is something comfortable in being with them, an ease. Why? It is Christ we behold within such as they and His beauty in their grace. There can be no other answer for what we see in these, and in this transcendent beauty Bethel's queen and her court are rich. 27 People like pebbles tossed from the sea lie in futile anonymity Rounded, and smoothed, grey, uncommitted, a surface so thin, by opinion unpitted. 28 The theme of Homecoming 1969 concerned the dehumanization of man and his mechanized society; evident in the various activities. The Homecoming drama, The Adding Machine, dealt especially with man's plight in a society where man has become the victim of his progress and has become only a cipher; and an erasable one at that. On Friday night, the Folk Arts program took a look at the situation from other angles. Music, readings and short skits in both serious and humorous veins combined to make us more aware that our society is made up us, our friends and acquaintances. Dr. Bernard Ramm, Saturday evening's speaker, not only increased the awareness that we make up our society, he also brought into a sharper focus the fact that as Christians, we must not only be aware, but be active in combating this trend. 29 30 31 II ‘STOP THE WAR!' ■ STOP THE MOTIONS!'

Guess who's coming to dinner ... 38 39 New Dorm: Where the action is? The New Dorm is the first step in campus relocation of the college facilities. Its construction was made possible by an anonymous grant of $500, 000, given with the stipulation that it be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1968. As is the case with the rest of the relocation plans, the dorm was not ready when we were. Now the Dorm has been in use for two seasons. Has it been a promising stepping-stone or an ill-conceived and constructed stumbling block? The New Dorm's physical structure contains its greatest weaknesses. There is space for 120 students plus two spacious apartments for the houseparents. Three lounges connect the two wings of Bethel's first co-ed dorm. Sounds pretty good so far, but only so far. Although one must expect an amount of wear and tear in a building lived in so intensly, the Dorm has been worn and torn quite beyond expectations. The carpet on the stairs has torn in several places. 40 Door stops have turned against the walls they purportedly protect, having been pushed with such great force as to cause them to collapse into the walls. The walls and floors and stairs are hollow and weak. These and other structural weaknesses are cause more for concern than consternation, however, and are offset by the positive aspects. 120 persons interacting in several ways, motivated by a variety of purposes, and committed to different majors yet sharing in the experiencing of Christ provides a unity of spirit unmatched, perhaps, by any other dorm. The lounges and recreation rooms provide a chance to interact casually as well as during dorm parties (we have a very social chairman). Sunday night vesper services are supplemented by prayer groups which are spontaneous and voluntary. Many of those who have lived in the New Dorm have said that the exclusiveness of its occupancy (only upperclassmen) contributes to its desirability and spirit. No one questions the fact that New Dorm veterans and neophytes say with pride, I live in The Dorm. The college relocation program has suffered several set-backs because the necessary funds are unavailable. The problem which precipitated relocation plans lack of space — thus remains. It has become acute, particularly in housing, partially because a private school which hurts financially as Bethel does finds it necessary to increase its student body in order to increase its revenues. But the scarcity of funds has so far precluded erecting or otherwise obtaining student housing space other than the New Dorm. According to the latest statis tics obtained, nearly a third of the students requiring housing, most men and upperclass women, must live in off campus, non-Bethel related housing. All freshmen must live in the dorms or approved housing. In a given year, the freshmen may take 300 of the 415 spaces available in the three on-campus dorms. Add to that number the rooms needed for officers, R.A.'s and occassional transfers, and the space available for upperclassmen desirous of on-campus residence declines proportionately and rapidly. Even a non-math major can tell you that the New Dorm cannot accomodate the numbers of upperclassmen who cannot live in the other dorms yet still prefer dorm housing. The manors? Even though the men lost theirs, overcrowding persists. The five manors have a total capacity of 144 and at last count housed 154. The housing problem is matched by the paucity of academic space, of course. Here even off-campus students suffer. The library, with 50,000-plus volumes, numerous periodicals and access to even more, has space for only 120. Twelve houses adjacent to the campus provide auxiliary and invaluable space for classrooms, laboratories, studios, etc. The total space available is 100,000 square feet which was designed for 600 students. Last year there were 1,034 of us. Next year ? Elizabeth Anne Eckstrom, Copy Editor 4] Accent on eating 42 Ode to Alice From the first week of school, Alice fed to us: one pot of coffee two cups of cocoa three tons of fried fish four loaves of French bread five gallons of soup six dozen hamburgs seven baked potatoes eight kinds of salad nine mixed vegetables ten red apples eleven green jellos twelve times a week 13 J Where else can you study what you choose? The red paint peels some more as you drag your feet up the outside stairs. The first door. A tenuous shove. Is it really stuck? No. A firm push, backed by reluctant resolve, and you're in. Across the hall, look at the bulletin boards: 1968 Study and Ski Tour; room for rent; LOST one black glove; typewriter for sale. A door opens and you glance (a) casually, (b) surreptitously, (c) not at all. You move a tack and ascend the stairs. You push IN and take a deep breath. The moment of decision. Two steps toward the magazine rack. Then a spectoi rises from a chair on the other side of it — the prof you owe a paper to from — can it be six weeks already? Here he comes! No, he's only getting some coffee. Quick, downstairs to the stacks. Almost there. Oh no, here comes the guy you've been trying to impress. No time to hide the five books you have to read by the day after tomorrow-. (Who said a double major in history and English was fun? Must have been Doc.) Hi, the guy says with a wink. Is studying all you ever do? Having your heart pressed against your vocal chords makes speech a little difficult. Then he's gone. A couple of laps around the stacks to sec if there's an empty desk (and who's filling the rest). Then to the common room. Three couples and a prof. An empty chair at the third table. You settle in and open Eleanor of Aquitaine. One quest is done and another begins. 44 45 Christ was BORN TO FREE. This was the theme and truth of the 1969 Festival of Christmas. The theme was enlarged upon by each presentation in the course of the program. There was something special, something unusual, a sort of spirit. The voices as the choirs sang antiphonally, the many coloured lights in mosaic, illuminating many talents dedicated to a unity of praise, the expectant reverence, all made one feel a part of this, of God's people and God's purposes. Yet there was another emotion, deepened and defined by other facets, that which has been the question over the ages, of all ages: What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him? Why indeed. Lord? Why do you not abandon us to our Victnams, Biafras, Harlems? Why do you remain with us when we pollute the earth with our abundance yet refuse to share with those who have nothing? Why do you not wash your hands of us, as we have of others? You certainly have a lot of patience. Or, is it — love? 48 A purpose for everything? 50 The trauma of finals came upon the Bethel community earlier this year as the first semester ended before Christmas. In place of three weeks of frantic cramming, the Interim experiment was to be held. Thus we worked double time in December, and, for freshman especially, the agony was accelerated. After the last flurry of ten page term papers (five pages for a B), a nervous nearsilence descended. The test schedules were posted and wherever two or three were gathered together, at least one would wail, But I have three on Saturday, and another would have his one on the last day at three o'clock. The library was wall to wall sweat and closed reserve books were opened by a seemingly endless mass. In the dorms, quiet hours, were enforced around the clock and to shift in your chair was to chance invoking the wrath of roommates and the girl three rooms down. Meals became a relief from booking, except for those conscientious (procrastinators?) ones. The week finally came and we discovered that all was not lost. Sweat mingled with lead and ink. Meal lines were long and limp. Then strangely, suddenly, it was over, and we went our ways. After a final exhalation of exultation and exhaustion, the campus was empty. 51 INTERIM-70 53 10:39 ... they enter ... alone, two's, three's ... organ sounding .. . some wait expectantly and talk, some wait thoughtfully, silent, some laugh and wonder why they're there . ..

Praise the Lord. I love Jesus! I know God's love, but someone had to die before I would believe in it. There's a beauty to being a Christian. i a How God could put up with me I'll never know. Why doesn't God just forget about us; could it be love? Words can't express what I felt for Christ. God is so wonderful.' Cod let me lead a person to Christ the other day, all I could say was unbelievable.” Why fight Him, He's too powerful. 1 wonder how Christ would feel if Hetai§£ bark today?” I took such a pleasure in being a hypocrite that 1 didn't want to come back to Christ; then God and I had a little talk. Praise the Lord! catacombs — a realization into the realm of God. Coeval Is a very small thing at Bethel. A perspective written at the Bethel Shrine to the God of Knowing Last night as white men walked Upon the western moon, I dreamed of walking through a woods Breaking frozen twigs To see if any were alive Some were. Maurice Zaffke, Coeval Editor What about student government? JUNIOR: I haven't really thought about it. • JUNIOR: It's proportion grows or diminishes in direct proportion to the concern or lack of it which we students have and show. • SOPHOMORE: Nothing is neutral. Either you are apathetic or involved. • FRESHMAN: I really couldn't say as I don't know a thing about it. JUNIOR: It's a farce. • RAINBOW: The dean's office has a tie to the Senate through the fact that one of us is an advisor. This sort of structural tie is the only real contact our office has • JUNIOR SENATOR: Most people don't realize its accomplishments unless they are in the Senate. The present administration has accomplished a lot. SENIOR: I feel that student government does not begin and end with the Senate and student association personnel, but extends to dorm offices and councils as well. • JUNIOR: Mr. Rainbow told me that last year he suggested that Senate representatives be elected by housing unit, not by class. I can see where that might make for more awareness on both sides. • SENIOR: A sorry lack of student participation and interest. • SOPHOMORE: I believe it is a ghost institution designed to pass unimportant legislation to appease the students desire for an inevitable change. SOPHOMORE SENATOR: It's more than most people realize. It touches almost every aspect of student life. (Editor's Note: the following comments were taken from an interview with Dave Shupe, 1969-70 Student Association president.) Q. A lot of people feel that student government begins and ends with the Student Senate and Association personnel. Do you feel it is more extensive than this? A. Yes. definitely. Q. Do you feel that anyone else feels this way? A. Yes. all of the 125 people who are involved, besides the Senate, there are students on Senate committees who are not Senators, and on working committees and student-faculty committees. It's a pretty intensive 10% (of the student body). There are over one hundred people not counting duplications in involvements. Q. Why did you decide to run for president ? A. I don't really recall except 1 was interested and felt I could get something done. Q. What do you feel has been accomplished this year? A. A lot, a great deal more than has come out in final decisions yet. We did get the tutoring program underway and that is great. We worked on minority group recruitment and intercollegiate involvements. In April we are going to meet with the Concordia College Senate, which could be really profitable. We've made some of the decisions about new campus housing. And we did a lot of work on Interim. Q What do you feel is the most pressing concern at the present time, if there is one? A. There is no concensus as far as the Senate is concerned. If you want my personal opinion, it's the isolation that gets me. Q. Do you feel that the rapport between the Association and the Administration is part of the reason for the efficiency or lack of it ? A. I think its been really good this year. They think its been a good year too. They've beer, open with us and we've been open with them. It isn't easy as there is a lot of bureaucratic involvement. It is rarely student versus administration anymore, however. Q. How can this rapport be furthered and better used? A. I don't think we want to go any further. There needs to be creative tension or one may become a puppet of the other. I like the way it's been. 63 The Clarion: giving expression to student interests and concerns tJV0 « « ►' ■Kel t 65 iwnlm College Choir Kill hud south for in lour during inlorim lolilachB -«« m ' £4 - tW C� � ° • •one I. � ’ ,M .. « 3 llanliw U«i� «r� ly I'nted JL - • nrd In «n lQ — •'OU0' l ur.

First time I've ever been kissed by a faculty member (Mr. Healy) ... and last. Wish there could have been more activities during the weekend. Camelot was just beautiful, the food was really good and what a tremendous atmosphere ... Having the coronation at Camelot was nice but if it had been at school more people could have been involved. The whole weekend was something I had wished for. (reflections of the 1969-70 Sno Daz queen Penny Watson) 72 73 basketball — 1. a game played with a ball between two teams of five players each, on a rectangular court usually indoors, each team attempting to throw the ball through its own basket and to prevent the other team from scoring, the winner being the team that scores the most point . 2. a spherical ball made of an airtight rubber case covered with leather officially from 29 to 30 in. circumference and 20 to 22 ounces in weight. (the following was taken from the December 12, 1969 CLARION in an article written by Marg Erickson). As those last few seconds ticked off on the clock the score remained tied and the first overtime was started. Mac made the first basket and then managed to hold that ball for what seemed to me like an eternity when suddenly Dan Larson did what you read about in other sports copy but never in your own, he dropped the ball through that basket as the horn was blowing and the game went into a second overtime. The second overtime was ours and such a fine display of ball handling as I have ever seen. (I had a front row seat right at our basket.) We were up, we were tied but in the last overtime we were never down and the one final shot in the last few seconds gave us a victory of 50-48 over Macalester College. 76 77 78 Close only counts in horseshoes and grenades 79 The crowd roars, Olsen walks onto the mat. The opponent looks away, his stomach turns, his knees quiver. The referee blows his whistle, each wrestler faces the other. There's a sudden movement, a flash. The opponent finds himself in the air. The crowd screams, Pin, Pin, Pin, Pin1 There's a crash, he's stretched out on the mat. Pin! Pin! There's a slap as the ref motions a pin. Silence. All eyes turn to the clock, only 21 seconds had ticked off. Olsen walks off — the crowd roars. 80 8? a grimace of pain ... a sign of endurance, giving all you got, even though there's sometimes little to give, just look at the face ... expressions tell so much more than words, you wonder whether it's worth all the exertion, there's really no prize, no honor, just a little satisfaction ... intramurals 83 Editor's note: the following is from an interview that staff writer Betty Eckstrom had with senior drama major. Bob Bryant. Q. Probably the first question that most people would ask, and I can be no exception, is, what is the purpose of a drama program at Bethel? A. 1. It provides an outlet for expression in a different manner from that offered by music or literature. 2. It gives an opportunity for quality dramatic literature to be presented at campus activities at low expense. 3. It trains Christians in the field so that Christ can be involved. 4. It provides possible training for Christian playwrights. Q. What has been done by the drama department this year? A. Steve Terell, the newest member of the speech staff, directed the I (omecoming play. The Adding Machine, by Elmer Rice. I was the lead in this expressionistic play of the 1920's which deals with man's dehumanization, mechanization and automation. For my senior thesis, I directed a play by Eugene O'Neil, Long Day's Journey Into Night. The moving, dramatic story is taken from a day in the life of O'Neil himself. Two other plays were also presented — A Day in the Life of Ottoman, written and directed by Steve Brachlow, and The Comfortable Pew, written by Milton Dickens and directed by Jerry Sather. O- What has been accomplished by the drama department? A. 1. The introduction of quality secular drama by Rice and O'Neil aided in the overthrow of the idea that a Christian cannot act in a secular play. 2. Most production was moved to the Little Theatre of Northwestern Seminary; this offered an opportunity to act on better staging than is available at Bethel. 3. More people have become involved — new actors, new faculty, new potential. Q. How does the future look? A. The outlook is good. A stage area has been allocated in the main building of the new campus which will be used just for drama — no more having to schedule rehearsals around classes and music, no more having up and taking down every night. Next year plans look good. New Talents will be revived. Dale Rott plans to take a tour to Japan and the Orient, if possible. A drama major will be added. The program will continue to grow with expanded academic offerings and more people. Q. One last question. How did you become involved in the drama program? A. My original involvement in drama came as a result of a publicity flyer sent to me the summer before my freshman year. New Talents was offered that year. After that, Homecoming led to a deeper involvement in the drama program, including two national tours and numerous on campus plays. 85 S7 - Jug band music . . was a treat . . . Way down south Memphis, Tennessee. Jug band music sounds so sweet to me. 'Cause it sounds so sweet, OH, it's hard to beat. Jug band music certainly was a treat to me. • • • So I took off my socks, I took off my shoes. I danced all night to the jug band blues. 'Cause it sounds so sweet, OH, it's hard to beat. Jug band music certainly was a treat to me.

Last Saturday the baseball team beat North Central Bible College by a score of 11-6 to finish the year with a 6-10 record. The team finished the season with four consecutive wins. Along with the ending of the season, two men will be ending their careers at Bethel, namely Dean Ericson and this year's most valuable player Bill Painter. Dean and Bill were major assets to the team this year not only as baseball co-captains, but also as being among the top hitters. The biggest standouts this year were Steve Hanson and his excellent hitting, and pitcher Lowell Richardson who compiled a 2-3 record. Gary Clark led the team in extra-base hits and rookie Tim Eddy led in RBI's. 94 95 - the best season record of any sport at Bethel this year . . . Hasselblad named most valuable when missing a putt; there's a grimace of pain As soon as you step on that first tee you know it's there; you can feel it deep inside. No one else knows it's there ... Why, if anyone was to look at you at that very moment they'd notice nothing unusual. Your swing is smooth, your stance is perfect. It's the little things that give you away. You ask yourself, Am I keeping my head down, swinging too fast, maybe I'm dropping my shoulder? But nobody else knows, and nobody else can see .. . unless by the faintest chance you give yourself away when missing a putt; there's a grimace of pain. Then maybe, just maybe they realize that in the game of golf there is indwelled in each, an inner tension ... CoachGlader fairly satisfied with the way the season went (The following is a portion of an article which appeared in the last issue of the Clarion.) Coach Gene Glader was fairly satisfied with the way the season went, all factors considered. The team will be losing three seniors: Co-captain Dave Pound, jumper Pete Roemer, and weight man Fred Swedberg. Coach Glader commented, “Their loss will hurt us a lot and we'll need some new faces in the sprint and jumping events. Swedberg's loss will lessen the team's depth in weight events. Coach Glader added however that I'm not at all discouraged and we should be fairly strong next year. He concluded by saying, There is a possibility of having some outstanding freshman prospects for next year, although that is not a certainty at this time. 98 ■ 99 100 lot 10? Because I was so intimately involved with the All-School Banquet, be assured that anything I may say objectively is accidental. The All-School Banquet this year was held at the Radisson Hotel in Minneapolis on May twenty-third. It was sponsored by the Social Committee and paid for from a special fund of the President's Office which gets its money from fees the students pay. The program was multi-media (tapes, records, slides, films, etc.) and the theme was The Body of Bethel. Oh, you knew that already? Well, readers since that has been settled, we now take you to an All-School Writer's Meeting via an unrehearsed unraveled transcript courtesy of the unsung heroes and heroines which made said evening possible. You will understand, of course that it is not a typical meeting since none of them could be so classed. Locale: Somewhere in Roseville. Time: 7:00 p.m. Cast: that would be telling. Agenda: 2,500 slides. Props: One balky slide projector, five notebooks, an old bugle, and the usual furnishings (not that those weren't). Three are there on time. Five come within the next forty-five minutes. Host rubs hands nervously, glances at wrist, clears throat, smiles, toys with glasses. OK folks, I guess we can begin. Does anyone have minutes of the last — The blonde breaks in, Do you have the slides? Donovan said — Goodman, who has been toying with the bugle, makes a comment which elicits a You — out! from J.U. Pelto grins and throws in a Greenerism. Hugh and Sherrie, having resolved we must get something done, order in tandem. After juggling boxes of slides, we are ready and the lights go out. Five minutes later, the slides no longer slide. Hugh grimaces. Sherrie rallies the writers. Look, we have to do the skits yet. Now, the athletic — Hugh breaks in, The Secret Wife of Murray Sitte. Sherrie resumes. And we have to cast — Pelto, Say, did you hear the one — Hugh si-lences us. The show must go on. And on. And on. Have you ever looked at 2,500 slides? After a while they all look upside down. 9:30. 10:00. 10:30. OK folks, let's wrap it up. Goodman plays taps and we head out. Betty Eckstrom Why student missions? 104 Christ commanded his disciples to go into all the world to bring the Good News. That was centuries ago. The command is the same today, but look at the world. Today as our physical globe shrinks, we are made more aware of the world and its problems. What a challenge this presents to the Christian who wants to make a difference in his world. This summer my world happens to be in Europe. I have been assigned to work for Trans-World Radio in Monaco, which has an outreach into Europe, Russia and her satellites, and the Arab countries. 1 am excited about the avenues of opportunity ahead of me. To me Europe seems ripe for an awakening. People have stagnated under the fading influence of the state church. Eastern Europeans face political and social persecution for overt profession of Christianity. People are looking for some relevance between Christianity and their life in this decade. Humans everywhere are searching for some solution. I am personally challenged by this because 1 desire to share with others not necessarily what Christ can do for a church, or other individuals, but what He has done in my own life — in my world. To constantly reflect this spirit will be my prayer for the summer and I hope it will mature and expand into the other worlds I enter next fall. Pat Tybcrg Participation in the student missionary program is potentially one of the most exciting experiences that Bethel offers its students. Cod's mission field is, of course, all around us, but I'm looking forward to the fresh perspective on my Christian commitment that living in another culture will provide. I am particularly excited about being sent to the White Earth Indian Reservation in Northern Minnesota. This is not only an opportunity to share the love and message that Christ has given to me, but a chance to experience first hand the living conditions on an Indian reservation. If I am to have an effective ministry this summer, I realize that I have to educate myself to the ways and culture of the Indian. My research and encounters with the Indians in the area have already been a blessing and I'm sure God will prepare the way so that His work can be done this summer. Hugh McLeod I have only to place myself in a non-Christian home, whether it be here or in another country, and I realize the basic reason why I firmly believe in missions. (If 1 didn't have Christ, I'd hope someone was doing something to tell me of His grace). The other reasons all revolve around knowing personally several foreign missionaries, seeing their enthusiasm about their field, and watching their work grow as they serve. It may be hard for some to believe, but I really get excited about missions. I guess that's why I applied to be a student missionary this year. Like most, I have a lot of pre-con-ceived ideas about the work done, and I'm not quite sure if I have that extra something it takes to be an effective fulltime witness. This summer, as I go to Alaska, I expect to find my limitations and see if missionary service is really for me. I'm lucky! I have a complete summer to see if full-time Christian service is God's will for my life, by practical experience. Though I expect to be working hard, I anticipate enjoying myself to the fullest. (Occasionally, I even feel guilty having the students pay for 'my' opportunity!) I am excited and looking forward to a wonderful summer of Christian fellowship and learning. The Belgium Gospel Mission, Brussels, Belgium, has agreed to let me share with them the spreading of the gospel. The three main areas which I will be working in arc camp counseling, evangelistic campaign preparation. and gospel team work. The prayers and financial support of the Bethel students have made this project a reality. I thank God for this.

Hopefully you were even able to capture a mood that might have been prevalent during your year here. But when recording the activities of any individual or group there is always a vagueness; a hint of the abstract. How do you show love, hate, fear or confusion between the covers of an annual? Certainly these are part of your learning experiences. No one can say, with full knowledge, that the only thing to college life is academics. To maintain such a position would be to say that socials, friends, sports or even living together has no special significance in growing. The abstract, the feelings, were very much a part of your life at Bethel. Let us explore into the intangible. Try to remember them for they will always be part of you. The old is all they have; the memories, the trials, the pain, the joy. All that is left is emptiness. They look ahead; the future — but the young fill that void. IN EVERY END THERE IS A BEGINNING; BUT TO SOME THERE IS NO END. The young have everything. They plan for the future for they have all of life ahead of them. There is something new everyday; something exciting. Why look back — what's back there is past.
