Summer missionary program sends
students to both home, foreign fields
The Cultural Committee will
sponsor a film festival next week
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-day.
The films will be shown in
room 106, beginning at 8 p.m. each
evening.
The series will begin May 13
with "Gentleman's Agreement."
It is about anti-Semitic feeling and
stars Gregory Peck. The movie
is the winner of an Academy
Award as well as numerous other
awards.
"The Cardinal" is scheduled for
Tuesday night, May 14. It relates

the life story of a man as he rises
in the Church.
The film festival concludes Wed-nesday,
May 15, with an English
version of the Italian film, "The
Gospel According to St. Matthew."
Pier Paolo Pasolini, widely ac-claimed
for his work, is the direc-tor
of the movie. He chose un-known
actors for the movie, which
became an international prize win-ner.
The Cultural Committee hopes
to stimulate thought and discussion
with the presentation of the mov-ies.
As in the past, the Student Mis-sionary
Project will be making
possible direct student participa-tion
in the foreign mission field
this summer. However, this year,
in addition to the usual plan of
sending students to foreign fields,
six students will be spending their
summer in the United States.
The religious committee hopes
that this diversity will add to the
overall value of the program by
placing students in a greater num-ber
of Christian service activities.
Five students will be traveling
outside the country under the Stu-dent
Missionary Project. Ted Dan-ielson
is anticipating a summer in
the country of Bolivia under the
Andes Evangelical Mission. His
activities will include some work
in a hospital there.
Gail Klemetti will be working
with the World Radio Missionary
Fellowship mission board. All of
her time will be spent at Quito,
Ecuador, where she will parti-cipating
in the outreach of the
well known station HCJB.
Phyllis Markette has been ac-cepted
by the Latin American Mis-sions,
and will participate in their
ministry in Colombia. She will
work specifically at the laywork-er's
training school with the chil-dren's
phase of Evangelism in
Depth. Judy Nelson and Margie
Campbell will be joining Bob Swan-son
of the Baptist General Confer-ence
in his work in Mexico. Bible
school teaching and secretarial
work are two of a variety of things
in which they anticipate partici-pation.
On this side of the border, Lar-ry
Day and Valerie Peterson will
be working at Bethel Christian
Center, in that agency's summer
youth activities. Two students, Ka-ren
Hotek and Arlene Skoland,
plan to spend their summer in
Appalachia with the Free Church
outreach in that area.
Jackie Goodman and Pam Nor-dell
are preparing for Bible
school teaching experiences this
summer in local churches under
the direction of the Minnesota Bap-tist
Conference. Over the course
of the summer these girls will
teach in several home mission
churches, and will also spend time
teaching Bible school classes in the
Indian reservations served by the
Baptist General Conference.
These people will be engaged
in significant activities this sum-mer
as they participate in the
student project. Ideally all Bethel
students may look upon their sum-mer
experience as a time to live
a Christian life of witness outside
a Christian setting.
The only difference with t h e
SMP students may be that they
are placed in particular situations
where their full-time commitment
to their task is especially need-ed.
Students involved in the
many phases of planning this sum-mer's
project have become increas-ingly
enthusiastic about the possi-bilities
of this year's program.

With the recent racial disorder
and violence occurring in many
U. S. cities, it is interesting to
note the unique racial and social
conditions in Hawaii. This is not
to imply that the state is immune
to racial discrimination but rather
to relate the "Aloha spirit" which
maintains a high degree of equali-ty
among its people.
Ever since the first Polynesian
migration, Hawaii has continuous-ly
attracted other nationalities.
The Europeans gradually came af-er
1778 when the islands were
discovered by the English sea cap-tain,
James Cook. Many came as
missionaries to the native Hawai-ians.
Others opened the commer-cial
markets for whaling and agri-cultural
production.
But the Europeans and Ameri-cans
also brought fatal diseases
to the native Hawaiians who were
very susceptible due to their iso-lation.
The native population de-clined
rapidly and labor shortages
developed in the new coffee and
sugarcane industries. The increas-ing
economic prosperity of the is-lands
demanded the importation of
labor as early as the 1850's.
Thousands of Japanese, Chinese,
and even Portuguese laborers had
to be imported to meet the critical
labor shortage. This early begin-ning
of racial mixtures continued
to create a true "melting pot" of
many nationalities which is typical
of Hawaii.
The late 19th century brought
continual economic progress as
pineapple became important and
again labor shortages brought
waves of new immigrants. Hawaii
continued to grow with a mixed
population after the turn of the
century.

CAMPUS FORUM
Professors examine course proposal
To the Editor:
We commend you for pointing
up the need for courses reflecting
current issues and in particular
for the practical suggestion of an in-terdisciplinary
course dealing with
the contributions of the Negro (and
we would hope other ethnic as well
as religious minorities) to Amer-ican
life and culture.
The editorial intimates, however,
that Bethel belongs to that group
of colleges which lack "courses
dealing with contemporary prob-lems,"
hence not producing "men
and women who are capable of
doing their part in ministering to
the sore spots of society."
But the fact is that we do have
a large number of courses which
are directly pertinent to contem-porary
issues. The curriculum in
Sociology includes such offerings
as Social Problems, Crime and De-linquency,
Intergroup Relations
(which has race relations as its
primary focus), Marriage and the
Family, and Population Problems,
all of which include a direct ori-entation
to current societal prob-lems.
All the other courses in Sociolo-gy,
Anthropology, Economics, Poli-tical
Science, and Psychology also
reflect Bethel's concern with "the
sore spots of society," and our en-tire
curriculum in Social Work,
which is open to students from
other disciplines, is directly rela-ted
to what is being done to meet
welfare needs.
The introductory course in each
field offers a basic perspective
which the student may come to an
understanding of the nature of so-cial
problems and of alternative
means for dealing with them.
A comparison of our Catalog with
those of other evangelical colleges
will quickly reveal that Bethel's
curriculum is not only keeping up
in this area but has greatly out-paced
most of the others.
This is not to say that no im-provement
is needed. The number
and distribution of courses and
the focus and strength of the ma-terials
included in each are sub-ject
to continual adjustments. But
more than that, a larger proportion
of Bethel's student body should
gain or increase their social aware-ness
by including them in their
selections at registration.
Students sometimes fail to re-alize
that college education must
prepare them for tomorrow's prob-lems.
A narrow focus upon today's
gigantic issues would be a disserv-ice
because the theories and prin-ciples
based upon current and past
experience provide the most prac-tical
basis for action in a world
of continuous change.
We wholeheartedly support the
objective of enriching the curri-culum,
by a "free university," or
through co-curricular activities of
campus organizations.
Another means of meeting this
need might be an advanced semi-nar
in which students and faculty
from all major disciplines share
insights and perspetives from each
of their fields in the light of
Christian values as the integrating
focus for dealing with current is-sues.

Dress code?
To the Editor:
Is it conceivable that a boy
would be asked to leave a class
because he is wearing Levis and a
sweatshirt?
We want it understood that un-til
now we have accepted Bethel's
rules and regulations without ques-tion.
Perhaps this is because we
have understood the basic rea-sons
behind these rules. However,
we find it impossible to under-stand
why we are not allowed to
use our own judgment in dress out-side
of the classroom.

Church must assume
prophetic role in society
As the sociological prophets have proclaimed, contempor-ary
culture is in a period of rapid change.
The expansion in education, the explosion in technology,
the revolution in human rights, the increased physical mobility,
urbanization, commercialism, and a host of other factors have
effected a radical change in the demeanor of American society.
In the midst of this change, the church has assumed one
of two roles. Many church members have tended toward con-servatism,
lamenting the passing of the "good old days," and
puzzling at the buzzing confusion of modern society.
This group has not realized the problems or the signifi-cance
of the changes taking place. Denying a certain amount
of relativity in society, they have tended to support their own
cultural patterns with theological sanctions. Lacking under-standing,
they tend to react to outward symbols such as new
hair styles or patterns of dress.
At the other extreme, many churchmen—decidedly fewer
than at the conservative end—have become men of the age,
completely caught up in one or more of the popular move-ments.
Next to apathy, jumping on a "bandwagon" is the
easiest way to lose one's perspective.
Caught up in the exigencies of the situation, often this
group cannot see beyond the moment and substitutes necessary
expedients for long range action.
While these two positions are poles apart, they share a
common characteristic; both have forsaken the Church's
prophetic role in society. The "conservatives" have absolutized
one form of culture and have disregarded or denied social
change; their fallacy is obvious. The "liberals," however, have
often limited their action to current demands and assumed
that a chicken in every pot will solve man's social problems.
While a Christian witness in society demands welfare,
open housing, and job training, etc., it also demands a realiza-tion
that man does not live by bread alone.
While poverty, racism, and social inequality are current
problems, perhaps the most pervasive malady of modern so-ciety
is the poverty in human values. Oddly enough, modern
man cannot conceive of life except in terms of production and
consumption.
The growth of big business has resulted in the extension
of the profit motive to a larger segment of life. Science and
technology have become financial pawns and even the hallowed
halls of higher education have been inundated with computers,
calculators, ID cards, and triplicate forms.
While modern man is engaging in his life and death
struggle for the dollar, another segment of society, personified
as Madison Avenue, is feverishly creating new and unheard of
"needs."
As a result man is either driven by his job or chained to it.
Creativity is only permitted of the entrepenuer or the advertiz-ing
man and what are called the higher values of man don't
stand a chance against the GNP.
In the midst of this the Church has told man that he is
a spiritual creature and that all of life is sacred; yet, to mass
man, life is blatantly secular. The church tells man to love
his neighbor, but yet he is alienated from his neighbor. The.
church exhorts man to live the good life; yet the good life
is becoming a social impossibility.
In such a situation, the church must look beyond the
current cultural values and see its responsibility to the social
order. The church must assume its prophetic role even if it
means losing contributions.
While welfare and direct aid are important, it is evident
that the church must go beyond welfare and attempt, wherever
possible, to bring sanity to a chaotic world, to go beyond "a
chicken in every pot."
R.H.
Proposal needs clarification
ethnic minorities should be initiated, rather than an
all-inclusive one.
The hope for such a program lies upon a small,
but successful, beginning. It is hardly feasible to
draft a program calling for 10 or 15 inter-disciplinary
courses at this time, even though the need may exist
for them. Big plans have rather limited value if they
cannot be implemented.
Thirdly, the proposal does not overlook existing
courses in literature, history, and social sciences.
Students in some disciplines may find it difficult
to take several literature courses, American Social
and Intellectual History, Inter-Group Relations (plus
other sociology courses) in addition to fulfilling the
requirements for their major fields and for gradua-tion.
However, a student interested in racial problems
may find an inter-disciplinary course which integrates
the relevent material from a half dozen existing cours-es,
plus adding material which the student presently
is not exposed to, quite worthwhile.
Last week's proposal to investigate means of add-ing
courses emphasizing current social issues to the
curriculum needs some clarification. Much of the
discussion concerning the idea stems from its sketchy
presentation.
First, the proposal does not call for any wholesale
attempts at revamping the curriculum. It does not
call for a narrow focus on current problems. It does
call for a limited addition of courses which would
discuss more directly contemporary issues, and help
the student see these issues in a perspective which he
finds difficult to otherwise achieve because he stands
so close to them.
Secondly, last weeks editorial suggested that a
good beginning point might be a course dealing
with the American Negro. The idea behind such a
suggestion is simply that one needs a concrete place
to begin.
Other minority groups should also be included
in this type of a program. However, to avoid superfi-cial
treatment, a number of courses dealing with

"Morality and Power: The Dilemma of Southeast
Asia," the third symposium on contemporary moral
issues, was presented at Augsburg College April 30.
The series of symposiums was sponored by the Min-neota
Intercollegiate Symposium Committee consist-ing
of students and faculty from the University and
Twin City colleges.
Seator Gale McGee, a democrat from Wyoming,
and four history professors including Dr. James John-son
from Bethel, made up the symposium.
A's one of the two great victors rising out of
World War II the United States was forced into a
power struggle, McGee said. "We were faced with
the decision of how to make a responsible contribu-tion
to peace. We could abandon it to chance, or else
assume the burdens, risks, criticisms, and frustra-tions
of trying to put the world back together," he
stated.
To accomplish this task the U. S. must restructure
the relationships of nations in Asia. "New govern-ments
are too fragile to strike out on their own yet.
We must help them achieve economic and political
stability. We must try to isolate violence and keep
it from spreading. This is our moral responsibility,"
he continued. "The outcome of the Viet Nam situa-tion
will determine what course of events the rest of
Asia will take.
He emphasized the "domino theory" for Southeast
Asia. If Viet Nam collapses, countries like Thailand,
Laos, and Cambodia will topple under the weight of
Chinese aggression.
McGee was very optimistic about winning the war
in Viet Nam and concluded with "What we do with
this chance will determine our course in history for
all time."
Carl Crislock, professor of history at Augsburg
College began the panel discussion by disagreeing
with McGee on two main points. First, the commit-ments
of a nation must not go beyond a nation's
power and what national security demands.
The United States does not have the capacity to
maintain the war in Viet Nam while neglecting the
"war on poverty" program, and other needed improve-ments
at home. Second, he does not believe that
U. S. commitment in Viet Nam is necessary for na-tional
security. "Foreign policy is not the best way
to reform the world," Crislock stated.
Dr. Johnson argued McGee's position on the
grounds that Americans place too much emphasis on
the communist threat while disregarding the role of
naionalism in the conflict. "We have no right to
interfere in a civil war," he said. "If there is a need
for the use of power in Southeast Asia, legally, only
the United Nations is morally obligated to do it."
Professor Huntley Dupre from the College of St.
Catherine brought out the possibility of a world war
as a result of continued escalation in Viet Nam. He
is afraid that the U. S. is attempting a "Pax Ameri-cana"
foreign policy while the rest of the world lies
in fear of us.
While he agrees with McGee that there is no world-wide
law body, he suggests that Americans work with
the United Nations for the cause.
Professor Henry F. Werting of Concordia Col-lege
agreed with McGee's "domino theory" and that
America should draw the line and stop communism
in Viet Nam so it doesn't spread to other countries.
"As a great power, we have a great responsibility
to keep the world free," he said. S. B.

The Minnesota IC-3 series of symposiums conclud-ed
last Thursday at Hamline University with a dis-cussion
on the "Means to Human Rights." Both
speakers emphasized the need to see current prob-lems
clearly, and to do something about them.
Senator Fred R. Harris, an Oklahoma Democrat,
and Dr. Charles V. Hamilton, professor of political
science and chairman of the Department of Political
Science at Roosevelt University in Chicago, were guest
speakers in the program, planned jointly by Bethel
and Hamline.
Harris, a member of the President's Commission on
Civil Disorders, told the audience that America must
face today what it is, and realize what the real prob-lems
are.
He pointed out the population explosion, great
technological advances, the increasing geographical
mobility of today's population, and racism as forces
in society which have "radically altered our lives
since World War II."
He said the current domestic crisis facing Amer-ica
was the greatest since the Civil War. And in
squarely facing this crisis, white America, which has
"studied Negroes to death," must shift its scrutiny
inward to itself.
Hamilton, co-author with Sokley Carmichael of
Black Power: The Politics of Liberation, reminded
whites of the need to "move from rhetoric to reali-ty."
The body of his speech dealt with four general
typologies of Negro groups working for civil rights.
"Political bargainers" work for an equitable dis-tribution
of goods and services within the existing
system. They are often criticized for oligarchical
tendencies by more the radical elements.
"Moral crusaders" aim at transferring the soul of
society. They are usually heavily oriented towards re-ligion,
but many of them view non-violence as a
tactic, rather than a philosophy.
The "alienated reformer" has lost faith in the
methods of the political bargainer, and is typical of
black power groups. He sees institutional racism
barring the way to an equitable distribution of deci-sion-
making, and is very concerned with the need
for black identity or consciousness.
"Let us deal formatively, and then structur-ally,"
the alienated reformer says. He feels an inde-pendent
black power base is necessary if meaningful
attempts to meet black needs are to become amenable
to electorate power.
The "alienated revolutionary" believes change will
not come without violence. This category draws its
support basically from young groups, and is charac-terized
by black separatist movements.
Hamilton stressed the dynamic nature of the
categories. "Many of the people in number four start-ed
out in the other three," he said, and cited Stokely
Carmichael and H. Rap Brown as examples. Indivi-duals
wind up in the fourth typology because "the
system lets them down."
"The best way to deal with them is by solving
the problems which brought them into existence,"
Hamilton said.
L. B.
From the "clear and present dan-ger"
ruling of Holmes and the later
interpretation by Brandeis, Mr.
Pemberton stated that there are
no Constitutional limits placed on
the content of speech as long as
adequate opportunity is given for
rebuttal.
As to time, place, and manner
of dissent, Pemberton stated that
the government had the right to
regulate. However, regulation has
no right to eliminate or suppress
dissent.
The act of burning or returning
a draft card is a symbolic commun-ication
of disapproval of the war
and in and of itself does not affect
one's status with the draft. How-ever,
the law requiring one to car-ry
his draft card at all times—a
law which is both unenforceable
and unjustifiable— presents a di-lemma.
Medical advances raise moral ,i si sues vev eoratitzu 9,teefdacede
The first Minnesota Intercollegiate Symposium,
held at Macalester college, discussed medical ethics.
"Who Shall Live? The Morality of Modern Medicine"
was examined by Senator Walter Mondale (D.-Minn.)
and Dr. Norman Shumway, who is currently Professor
of Surgery at Stanford University.
Mondale is a sponsor of a resolution presently
before Congress, calling for the establishment of a
presidential commission to consider the moral, legal,
and public policy issues raised by recent medical
"miracles." Minnesota's junior senator warned those
members of the medical profession who oppose the
resolution that they should not be afraid to let others
outside of medicine discuss these things
Looking ahead, Mondale postulated that within
the next thirty to forty years, research might find
the key to genetic control, giving men the power to
shape future generations. In order to avoid future
moral crises, he said, the medical community
and the nation need to decide now what attitudes
and policies should be developed toward future ad-vances.
Dr. Shumway, who has received training at the
National Heart Institute at the University of Minne-sota,
stirred national interest earlier this year with
a January heart transplant, the second such trans-,
plant ever to be performed. Recently, he performed
the world's eighth heart transplant.
Along with Mondale, Shumway called attention to
the expense involved in a heart transplant, which
can cost from fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars,
or even more. Financial aid systems are needed to
eliminate the problems this poses for most of the
population.
The most serious practical problem is a shortage
of donors. Many surgeons are ready to perform trans-plants,
some using new techniques, but must wait
for donors. A "heart bank," or a method of using
animal hearts, is needed to help coordinate the supply
of hearts with the needs for them.

Students ask why

of relaxation until late afternoon?
If the administration can pro-vide
valid reasoning behind this
ruling, we will happily comply
Dear Reader:
Lest I become the "drowsy evan-gelical"
I chastised in a previous
letter (the CLARION, April 25,
1968), I am serving as volunteer
campus coordinator for the "Poor
People's Campaign," a national
concern for human rights, with
particular relevance for our Twin
Cities area.
As the local counterpart of the
national organization, the Minneso-ta
campaign has for its primary
goals the "establishment of the
14-point program suggested by the
Black Community, and in addi-tion,
implementation of demands
made by the low-income white
and Indian communities."
In a nation-wide effort (support-ed
heavily by the late Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.) the Minnesota
group is helping to facilitate an
indefinite "march" on Washington,
D. C. This means that the cam-paign
intends to stay in the Dis-trict
until their objectives have
been accomplished; that is,
1) adequate minimum wages
2) adequate welfare programs
3) meaningful on-the-job train-ing
4) guaranteed annual incomes.
The national campaign hopes to
send 5,000 people to Washington
with it. We do not wish to argue
this point, we merely wish to un-derstand
it.
Sincerely,
Val Freeman
Windy McJunkin
Jan Shodin
during the coming year, to main-tain
a total of fifty families a
week in Washington, and to raise
$500,000 through the supporting
committees for the national and
local efforts.
The group intends to work
through existing organizations such
as churches, business groups, la-bor
unions, etc. to establish com-mittees
to work for their goals by
raising funds, recruiting "march-ers,"
and collecting food and cloth-ing
for the Washington "dele-gates."
Persons interested in more in-formation
or in serving on a com-mittee
at Bethel, or in donating
food, clothing or money for the
campaign please check the sociolo-gy
bulletin board or contact me
via P.O. 79. The food and cloth-ing
drive has already started and
the first contingent of Minnesota
marchers was to have left yester-day.
I would say one more thing to
the "drowsy evangelical" who fi-nally
wake up: Don't waste any
more time pricking your con-science.
Get out and do some-thing.
Thank you,
Janet Applequist
Dress code
from page 2
was either idealistic or impractical,
and that quite likely freshmen were
incompetent to make all their own
decisions regarding dress. Propon-ents
countered by stating that the
present system is also impractical
and legalistic in nature.
They also suggested that the
most effective restrictions, those
imposed socially, were hindered by
the present system. Students, like
nearly everyone else, they claimed,
are more influenced by the opin-ions
and actions of their peers
than by those of other strata of
humanity.
The effect of the motion is that
the Dean of Students is no longer
able to claim the Senate as a co-signer
of any code except the two-sentence
version on May 6, 1968.
It is hoped that administrative
policy will also share in the vision-ary
actions of the Senate.
As one of the proponents of the
motion stated later, "Dress codes
are a trivial subject in an academ-ic
institution, especially one which
purports to be Christian, but use-less
legalism and paternalism are
not."
The Senate did nothing major
at its May 6, 1968 meeting.

has achieved an almost perfect tol-erance
of racial differences with-in
its diverse population. In a
sense "Hawaii knows that integra-tion
works."
In the cities one must actually
look for discrimination; but it does
exist in some of the elite clubs
and organizations. It does appear
unlikely that Hawaii will ever face
any serious racial problems or vio-lence.
All of the racial groups are
in the minority and are thoroughly
mixed at all levels of govern-ment
administration.
The people of Hawaii have
learned to accept people and
adopt them into their society re-gardless
of their background. But
then Hawaii has only two key
resources, the land and its people,
and why should it neglect some
people who are potentially valua-ble
to the society?

from page 1
Just before the second world
war the 419,000 people of Hawaii
consisted of the following percent-ages:
37 percent Japanese, 25 per-cent
Caucasians, 15 percent Ha-waiian,
12 percent Filipino, 7 per-cent
Chinese, and 4 percent from
other groups. There has always
been an internal peace in the
Hawaiian islands as new people are
assimilated quickly into their new
society.
Hawaii's ethnic and racial groups
have mingled and intermarried so
freely over the years that today
ethnical backgrounds are often dif-ficult
to be traced. The most
recent percentages of racial groups
show a slight increase in Caucas-ians
and a large decrease in pure
Hawaiians.
But a balance still exists be-tween
the minority groups. Hawaii

Beauty marks Hawaiian islands
by Dan Johnson
Scenic splendor of a world cre-ated
centuries ago characterizes the
Hawaiian chain of islands. Beyond
the confines of cities and towns
lies a land created by volcanic
eruptions and overgrown with
tropical vegetation. The islands ac-tually
are the upper peaks of huge
mountains which arise from the
ocean floor some 15,000 feet be-low
sea level.
The islands have continually
been changed by lava outpourings
and natural erosion. Of twenty-four
islands in the chain only
seven of the eight major islands
are inhabited. In land area they
equal the combined states of Con-necticut
and Delaware but support
a population about the size of Min-neapolis.
They stretch like a green
belt some 350 miles across the
blue Pacific waters.
The big island, Hawaii, known
also as the "Orchid Island," is the
only part of our country which geo-logically
is still young and grow-ing
in size due to the volcanic
activity. This island first emerged
as five volcanoes, only one of which
can be considered extinct in geolo-gical
time as the others have all
erupted in recent times.
The Kilauea Crater, considered
the worlds most active volcano, has
remained active over the last five
months with mild lava eruptions.
The surrounding terrain includes
barren rocky slopes, lava deserts,
fertile plantations, and plush trop-ical
forests.
T h e second largest island of
Maui is typically the "Valley Isle"
of Hawaii, formed by two extinct
volcanoes which flowed together.
The gradual slopes and foothills
of the one huge crater produce
rich fields of pineapple and sugar-cane.
Along the coastline winding
mountain roads follow the rugged
terrain of deeply eroded valleys.
With the abundant rainfall on the
slopes of the crater, wild moun-tain
streams cut through the thick
tropical semi-rain forests to the
ocean.
In and around the city of Hono-lulu
on the island of Oahu live
more then three-quarters of the
states population. "The Aloha Is-land"
of Oahu is the center of the
states tourist industry, businesses,
financial establishments, and gov-ernment
activities.
Two parallel mountain ranges
lie across the island leaving the
population centers near the coast-line.
The interior plains region
produces the pineapple and sugar-cane
which aids the state economy.
The major economic resource of
this island depends upon the tour-ist
industry more than agricultural
products.
The oldest of t h e islands is
Kauai and commonly known as
the "Garden Island" because of the
rich natural vegetation growing on
the fertile volcanic soil. Geologi-cally
this was the first island cre-ated
so erosion carved much na-tural
beauty in the mountain can-yons.
Much of the interior is in-accessible
due to the rugged cliffs
and swampy conditions from the
wet interior climate.
The small rural islands of Molo-kai
and Lanai are largely depend-ent
upon the production of pine-apple
as their economic livelihood.
The gentle sloping hills and fertile
plains provide favorable conditions
for agriculture and cattle raising.
Much of these two islands relate
back to the 19th century idea of
Hawaii with a tranquility of life
not yet spoiled with modern in-novations.
The small island of Niihau is pri-vately
owned by the few remaining
pure Hawaiians left in the islands.
It is closed to outsiders and main-tains
an isolated colony of several
hundred residents through agricul-ture
and cattle raising.
The last of the major islands,
Kahoolawe, is uninhabited because
the military uses it as a target
site for warships and bomber
planes.
All of Hawaii lies within a sub-tropical
zone maintained by the
prevailing northeast trade winds
which leaves a year round con-stant
mild temperature. Hawaiian
residents realize the uniqueness of
their islands and utilize their na-tural
surroundings. This is also
true with the University students
and their exracurricular activities.
The Bethel College golf team
has participated in four meets thus
far and have one victory to their
credit. None of the guys have real-ly
found the range yet, but there
is plenty of opportunity, with
six matches still left to play.
In their opening match, Bethel's
five best medal scores totaled 428
in comparison to Stout State's 404.
Curt Dokken, Dave Livingston,
and Jim Spurgeon were low for
Bethel, all three firing 84. Rick Pe-tersen,
Jerry Loomis, a n d Cal
Harfst all shot 88.

So far this spring, the tennis
team has had a rough time. The
loss of two strong players from last
year's squad, Tom Hulst and Gary
Hasselblad, has left the Royals
much weaker at the 3, 4, and 5
positions, and as a result, their
record is disappointing.
The racketeers have won one meet
while dropping four. However, they
have been much closer than the
scores indicate, as many of the
matches have gone three sets. The
play of Bethel's ace, Bill Peterson,
has not been up to top form as
Steve Petersen led the Royal at-tack
with an 84. The following
day against St. Thomas, the links-men
were not so fortunate, as
their medal score was higher than
that of the "Tommies." Steve's
brother Rick had the best score
for the Royals, an 85.
Last Saturday, Rick Petersen,
Curt Dokken, Jim Spurgeon, Steve
Petersen, and Dave Livingston rep-resented
Bethel in the Cougar
Invitational at Fergus Falls. Eigh-teen
teams were entered, a n d
Bethel finished fifteenth.

he has lost twice, once at River
Falls and once at Morris.
The highlight of the season thus
far was a "smashing" victory over
Stout State. The Royals last meet,
a quadrangular at LaCrosse last
Saturday, was rained out.
The tennis team has three mat-ches
remaining on their schedule.
On Wednesday, the Royals compete
against Augsburg, and on Saturday,
they'll fight it out with Northland.
Bethel will wind up its tennis
season on the following Thursday
with a match against Concordia of

In a five team meet on May 4,
the Royal trackmen finished fourth
despite some fine individual per-formances.
The team scores were
Superior State 73, Stout State 45 1/2,
St. Thomas 41, Bethel 38, and Riv-er
Falls 36 1/2.
Dave Pound figured heavily in
two of Bethel's three first places.
Pound won the 440 yd. dash in
51.6, and ran the third leg of the
victorious mile relay team.
Despite the efforts of Pound,
Rick Berggren, and Joel Peterson,
the Bethel team was last after
three laps in the mile relay. An-chorman
Jack Campbell, however,
overtook the entire field and led
the Royals to victory in a time
of 3:32.2..
Bethel's other first was won by
Fred Swedberg in the javelin with
a throw of 167 feet. Swedberg also
took second in the discus and fifth
in the shot put. Dave Pearson al-most
captured the high jump lion-
Friday, May 10, 1968
ors, but had to settle for second
place because of misses at 5'10".
Joel Peterson and Tom Rykert
leaped to second and fourth places
in the long jump. Jim Fredeen
was second in the 330 yd. inter-mediate
hurdles and fourth in the
120 yd. high hurdles. Jack Camp-bell
finished fifth in the 440, and
Rick Berggren also finished fifth
in the 880 to round out the scor-ing
for Bethel.
Certainly the loss of many tal-ented
performers has severely
crippled the track team. Andy
Lehman and Jim Hammar have
been lost for the season, and Bill
Geigert and Bill Malyon were both
unable to compete Saturday.
Despite these losses and the
nagging injuries which have both-ered
many of the trackmen, the
Royals still turned in a respectable
performance Saturday. This week's
Macalester invitational will con-clude
the track season. OOPS I Bethel's mile relay team is forced to drop out of race as Jack Campbell
spikes Tom Rykert in baton switch.

Opposing squads stymie Royal nine; Volleyball, basketball "All-Stars"
Richardson's hurling brightens hopes headline intramural news
by Wally Borner
The Royal baseball squad began
a busy week of games by dropping
a pair at River Falls on Monday.
Lowell Richardson pitched a fine
game for 10 and two-thirds innings
only to give up a three-run homer
with only one more out to go, los-ing
5-4.
Falls took a first inning lead
on three opposite field hits. Beth-el
came back with two runs in
the third on a single by Murray
Sitte who was forced at second on
Randy Stauter's single, and then
consecutive doubles by Barry An-derson
and Bill Englund.
The Royals held the lead till the
seventh inning on the strength of
Richardson's pitching. In the sev-enth,
however, the Falls boys man-aged
to tie the game at 2-2 on a
walk, a sacrifice and a single, send-ing
the game into extra innings.
In the top of the eleventh, the
boys in blue added two runs on
Englund's single, Ericson's double,
John Delich's single and an error
on Steve Hanson's ground ball only
to lose 54 on the River Fall's
homerun in the last half of the
inning. Richardson struck out 13
during the game.
The second game was not as
thrilling, but saw the Royals fall
behind 1-0 early in the game and
tie it, fall behind 2-1 and score
two more to give them the lead
by the end of 3 innings. Bethel
scored one in the second on three
consecutive singles and an error,
and scored two more in the third
on a single, double, and a River
Fall's miscue.
Scoring a fourth run in the 4th
inning on a Don IBrandsma double
and an error, the Royals went
into the last of the 4th leading
4-2, only to see River Falls score
five big runs on the wildness of
Brandsma, who walked two and un-corked
a wild pitch, and on the
hitting of the Falls' team. From
then on the Falls team coasted
to an easy 8-5 victory.
On Tuesday the squad traveled
to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and
dropped a single game 8-5. The
Royal pitching staff had problems
from the start as three pitchers
gave up six earned runs. They
couldn't hold off the Eau Claire
hitters w h o hammered out 13
hits.
Highlight of the game for Beth-el
was the fourth inning, when
they scored three runs on singles
by Brandsma, Englund, and Steve
Hanson's double and then a single
by Al Selander.
Thursday Albert Lea provided
the opposition for the Royals
squad. In the opening game Low-ell
Richardson turned in another
fine pitching performace as he
struck out 11, allowed only three
singles and one run after an er-ror
for a 3-1 win.
Bethel scored two in the third
inning on a trio of Albert Lea
errors and again in the fourth af-ter
two more miscues and a single
by Richardson. Albert Lea scored
their only run in the third inn-ing
on a single and two Bethel
errors.
The second game saw Dan Gross
lose 4-2 as he got little support
from his hitters. Gross allowed
three earned runs on five hits in-cluding
a 380 foot homerun to
centerfield.
The Royals have nine games left
this season. The next game in the
Twin Cities area is at Concordia
College in St. Paul, Saturday, May
11.

Second Old lost its first game
but w o n the match against
O.C. No. 1 to remain in the top
position in volleyball with a twelve-one
record. The losers dropped to
third place at 11-4, being replaced
by First Floor, who defeated 3rd
Old 2-0.
The boys from O.C. No. 2 squeak-ed
by 2nd New, 2-1 to take over
fourth place from 3rd Old, with
a 9-5 mark. Other than 2nd New,
the rest of the bottom teams are
piling up an enviable record of
forfeits with the faulty faculty
leading the way with no one show-ing
up in six evenings of compe-tition.
Five men from five different
teams have been selected by bal-loting
of the "A" League basket-ball
players as All-Stars. Al Se-lander
of 2nd Old and Steve Peter-son
lead the field with Andy Leh-man,
Leroy Mattson, and Fred
Swedberg filling out the first an-nual
All-Star team.
Steve Peterson sparked his team
to the tournament championship
and also led in regular season
scoring with 174 points, three
points ahead of Andy Lehman, who
led First Floor to an untarnished
10-0 regular season record.
Fred Swedberg was the big man
for Falcon, who tied for second
and took second in the tournament.
Leroy Mattson, a freshman from
the frozen Northland of Minnesota
was the hot hand for 3rd Old, the
hard-luck losers of the league.
All musclemen on campus have
until 10:00, Friday evening to sign
up for weightlifting which will
take place twelve hours later on
