Carmen Sheppard. Jeanne Westwater. Shirley Dischinger. Sarah Rcasoncr. and Holly Reed. Any girl who has ever run the length of the hockey field for that 70-minute game must surely, with pounding heart and aching side, have entertained the fleeting question, why am I doing this? No doubt, she has looked to the sideline, seen the half-dozen spectators and known that it wasn't for the glory! But maybe at this same time, she suddenly received a pass from a teammate, dodged the opposing defense and v ith a sudden burst of new energy, headed down the open field to eventually score the winning goal. Perhaps the exhiliration of that moment answered her question in part. Perhaps the answer also lies in that same drive that inspired Peggy Fleming to spend years of her life perfecting a beautiful skill and style of skating, or Cathy Rigby to devote weeks and months of time to accomplish such a level of perfection in gymnastics. For while Bethel field hockey teams will never know that degree of dedication or ever win a medal in the Olympics, each member has experienced the task of physical self-discipline and felt the excitement of pushing herself beyond what she knew she could do. Each has known the sense of accomplishment which comes in realizing her own potential in skill and endurance. Each has felt the thrill of overcoming a personal limitation or inability and the fun of overcoming an opponent. Each has experienced the feeling of playing with a team and known the excitement of winning together and the disappointment of losing together. For the personal and team achievements of many occasions we remember our season. We remember the bitter cold game against the University of Minnesota, the puddle-spotted field, anc the tremendous stamina which was required that day; we remember the inspiration of the beautiful passes and play of the more experienced River Falls team which defeated us; we remember the excitement of seeing the whole Bethel forward line moving the ball down the field together to score against and defeat Carleton. Many girls share this same enjoyment of competition and sports which, in our society, seems characteristic only of men. Unfortunately, however, the majority of girls remain as spectators and for the most part they do so from lack of opportunity to play and to become proficient enough to enjoy a game or sport. We are seeking at Bethel to provide an opportunity for students to participate in competition with other schools; to learn more about themselves and others through this added dimension of sports: and to find a new and rewarding way to represent Christ.

The figures are derived by the National Research Council's Food and Nu- trition Board on the basis of the food ccrv sumption records of groups of people. From such records the board then calculates the number of calories needed each day by two hypothetical beings—a 25-year-old. 154 pound reference man and a 25-year-o!d. 128-pound reference woman, both of whom are moderately active and live at a mean temperature of68°F.The figures thus derived are then adjusted for persons of different weights and sizes, living under similar environmental conditions at various ages and activity levels. Individual needs are bound to vary, however, sedentary persons generally needing fewer calories and active persons needing more. A football player in training, for example, may cot os many as 5000 calorics a day without gaining weight. But if he consumed the same number out-of-season without taking equivalent exercise, he would soon find himself growing 'pudgy. 24
