Bethel m;'ss;o,na1r;es to span the globe ;n summer 176
by Dawn Hart and Paul Healy
"We are placing more people in more countries than
ever before," stated Pastor Jim Spickelmier in reference to
this year's student missionary project (SMP). Brazil, Indonesia,
London and Germany are just a few of the places
where Bethel students will minister this summer. They will
be assisting in mission programs and working in conjunction
with the Baptist General Conference in its outreach programs.
In all, 29 Bethel students will be participating in the program,
with SMP providing partial financial support. The
students have made a commitment to obtain the remaining
monetary support needed.
Students receiving partial support are: Claudia Hallstein,
Germany; Laurie St. Clair, France; Kathy Asselin,
Panama; Dave Johnson and Debby Griffiths working with
Campus Church in London; Bobbi Hersch, Hong Kong; Betsy
Sundberg, Martha Barker, and Stanley Murach, Japan; Peggy
Jordan, Quito, Equador. Tim Schwarze, Indonesia; Brian
Bohne, Brazil; Anthony Lai, Los Angeles, California; and Jim
Landis, ACTS-Evangelical Free Program.
Student sent to programs "set-up" by SMP include:
Curt Gruber and Carny Johnson, Southshore in Chicago;
Becky Johnson, Sunny Ridge Home, Illinois; Russ Gutsche,
Spearhead program in Mexico; Megan Hastings, Karen
Wood, Renee Erickson and Shari Allen, North American Indian
Mission in British Columbia; Coral Beth Rowley, Joy
Reed, Kurt Olson and Jenny Woods, Alberta, Canada; and
Mike Anderson, Victoria, British Columbia.
Kuriokos, a singing group consisting of Dean Edwall,
Sue Edwall and Lisa Vanzo, will be touring Japan and the
Philippines. The trio was asked by Virgil Olson, Director
of World Missions for the BGC, to give of their summer
for this ministry. They will receive in-country expenses from
»
the BGC, as well as support from SMP, and love offerings
from the Japanese churches which they visit.
Kathy Asselin, a new SlMP'er and next year's president
explained, "It's not even settled yet as to where I'll be
going. I guess it's a good way to start because I'm trusting
the Lord from the very .beginning."
SMP, which is funded through Bethel chapel offerings and
other contributions, is ahead of last year in terms of money,
but the expenses are greater a1so.
"So far, we have raised $7,970.88, as compared with ' approximately
$7,100 last year and $5,900 the year before,"
quoted Dan Olson, SMP treasurer. "This is great, but our
needs are also great." Dan mentioned that there will be only
two more SMP offerings in chapel this year.
SMP hopes to reach its goal by means of several
upcoming money-making projects. Two auctions of lost and
found items will be held this spring, one on Old Campus and
one on New Campus. On May 11, "Priest and the Scribes," a
well-known, Bethel-related 50's group will perform a benefit
concert for SMP.
"At present we don't have enough funds for 'emergency'
money," explained Pastor Jim. "We like to have some money
set aside during the summer to handle unexpected situations,
such as illness or emergency plane fare."
He hopes that these money-making ventures will meet
the nE:'eds of SMP. "There are still opportunities for interested
students to give," continued Pastor Jim, "in Chapel
and in the money box in the coffeeshop."
"We've really put God to the test this year," commented
Janell Chisholm, current SMP president, "and he was faithful
once again. It was exciting to see new doors open. We
worked hard to plug people in spots, and God always came
through in the right place at the right time."

Suggestions offered
for use of student money
Due to the recent action undertaken by the Student
Senate, in which radio station KA-BY was dropped from
next year's Student Association budget, approximately $3,000
of student monies needs to be "re-channeled." As of now,
the money remains in escrow, as Dean Brushaber awaits
Student Senate proposals for the use of this money. If
the Senate fails to come up with "worthwhile" projects,
the Dean feels that the money should be forfeited back
into the general school fund. In connection with this, recent
Spire proposals might create a surplus of funds that
could approach seven or eight thousand dollars. This money
will also need to be re-channeled.
We would like to offer the following suggestions to the
Senate concerning this matter. First, it is obvious that the
Bethel Administration has no plans to effectively subsidize
our Christian Service office. The archaic notion that " Priest
and the Scribes" can carry this department on its back interminably
still persists in certain circles. Why can't the
Senate assist this financially troubled institution, so that
they can have sufficient funds to do a quality job?
Secondly, we feel that some of this money should go to the
Campus Coordinator's office for the expansion and improvement
of Bethel's social activities. Although we feel that
many of the inadequacies in Bethel's social life are due
to a lack of funds, we feel that in giving this monetary
assistance increased responsibility of the Campus Coordinator's
office should be considered. In short, activities should
be planned with the needs of upperclassmen also considered.
In other words, we don't care if the computer wore tennis
shoes, and we feel that a more balanced Bethel social life
should be considered. Hopefully, an increased budget will
provide the Campus Coordinators with the funds and the
impetus to offer a consistently higher quality of activities.
Certainly there are other needs that should be considered,
but we feel these are important possibilities. If the Senate
can not come up with viable recommendations, the
student body will know who to blame.

Farmers react to IIhog-slopperll label
Dear Sirs:
Once again the narrow-mindedness of the urban Bethelite
has become manifest. We, the agrarian-minded, have in
large measure up to this time been the silent minority,
passively accepting ridicule, however subtle, as it has been
heaped upon us. Now we can take no more. The ultimate
humiliation has risen once again. I'm speaking of Bib Overall
Day. Bib Overall Day is just one more way that the misinformed
ethnocentric urbanite can accuse farmers, the backbone
of ~ur nation, of being naive, unshaven, grass-chewing,
8th grade-educated hog-sloppers. It's time this "Fred
Ziffle" stereotype die. We don't accuse you of being switchblade
wielding, drug-pushing, out-to-make-a-buck Zoot suiters.
The majority of farmers do not even own a pair of bib overalls.
Those few who wear them have done so every day since
1910. We are not objects of curiosity, to be shoved around all
year long and brought out on one day to be "honored."
Must I call for a farmer's liberation? It's time urban
America recognized the paramount role that farmers fill.
Who else must be a businessman, an agronomist, a mechanic,
a manager, a weatherman, and a veterinarian? Who else
must go into debt and risk his investment year after year
for the betterment of the world's people? Who else puts
in 12-hour days six days a week to bring you bodily
nourishment? If it wasn't for the American farmer, you would
be like our unfortunate, starving brethren in other parts
of the world.
Sincerely,
Paul Wright

Old, new student administrations char'ged
with misrepre,sentation of the facts
Dear Sir:
In reference to last week's "Last WindJ " it is not
difficult to summarize the 1975/76 student government achievements.
They were minimal, at best.
For instance, campus security. The projects that were
supposedly "implemented" by the 75/76 ' government were
put into practice by Student Affairs. Senate talked, talked,
talked - about student patrols, for instance. But no real
action was taken.

Also, we did not send $1,000 to South Vietnam. The
final amount was much less than this; and anyway, it was
sent three days before the fall of South Vietnam.
And this $5,000 goal stuff. This was a ridiculous Senate
goal, a goal that we did not come close to achieving.
Who are they fooling?
Next point. The Bowl of Rice program was not initiated
by Johnson/Moeller. It also has turned out to be one of
the biggest jokes of the past year.
Let me move on in examination of this ridiculous
article. "Bookdrops and coatracks" were added. Whoopee!
Big deal! The significance of the few that were added is
less than minimal.
It is Student Senate's responsibility to give money to
worthwhile activities. But more money seemed to infiltrate
to the Music Department than anywhere else, as if they
need money.
I realize that I am as vulnerable and guilty as Johnson/
Moeller, in that I haven't legislated more in the way of
important action. I feel, however, that things should not
be blown ,out of proportion. But it looks like we will
not have any more honesty with the new administration than
we did with the old. As seen in a recent Clarion article,
Taylor/Johnson proJessed to be initiating or ' pushing a
summer school program. This effort had alreao.y been done,
through Gary Setterburg's dedicated efforts in committee.
Supposedly, "honesty in politics" is the trend. Let's
see some of it at Bethel.

Broken Arcs
,by Bill TrOllinger
Every country, state, or -city, every institution, every
group of people, has its "landmarks" - its features or
individuals that make it what it is. Without these "landmarks"
it is hard to imagine the area or group even existing.
Minnesota has its lakes; Paris has its Eiffel Tower; the
, Democratic Party has its Hubert Humphrey; the Oakland
A's has its Charlie Finlay.
Bethel also has its "landmarks." Although its swampy
pond and its Nik Dag could be considered as distinctive
features of Bethel, by far the most important "landmarks"
are people (to re-state a trite phrase). Certain individuals
have been here so long, have given so much of their energy
and time for Bethel, have become so well-known in the Bethel
community that it is hard to imagine a Bethel without them.
"Doc" Dalton is one of these individuals. So is Keith Tekautz.
And, of course, the irrepressible Chuck Haaland fits
these requirements.
Another Bethel "landmark" is English professor Jerry
Healy. He has been here for 21 years, and the school
just wouldn't be the same without him. Some of it has
to do with his rather unorthodox nature. Face it - a 6'8"
professor, attired at times (unfortunately, not as often as in
the past) in a huge green flannel shirt and old pants,
loping through the halls or enveloping a favorite chair
in the coffee shop, his voilce booming through walls and
other barriers - he could not be considered "normal."
And no one has quite the teaching style of Jerry Healy.
Semantic differential lectures interspersed with old basketball
stories, Oedipus Rex disc,ussions laced with strange
jokes, and grammar lessons centered around the hopelessness
of his unfortunate TA combine to form an amazing experience
that no Bethel student should miss.
But Jerry Healy's uniqueness, his vital role at Bethel,
goes far beyond the 'surface level. His omnipresent humor
belies the depth of his literary understanding. And his love
and deep-seated feelings for litera~ure are transmitted
through his teaching and oral readings. (The emotion expressed
in his reading of Wordsworth's "Michael," for
instance, can leave few untouched). Many students, including
myself, emerge from his Literary Forms class with a longlasting
love for literature that goes far beyond the classroom
door.
But Jerry Healy's genuine, Christ-like love for people
is what makes him the important person in the Bethel
community that he is. I have noticed, over the past few
years, the strange phenomenon that anybody, any time, any
place can talk to him about almost any problem. The "I'm
too busy" or "Sorry, Pi Gamma Mu tonight" concept of
an isolationist professor is the antithesis of Jerry Healy,
even considering his class load, department chairmanship
duties, dissertation work, and inept TA help. In connection
with his love for individuals, it is hard to find a girl
on campus who has not, at one time or other, been enchanted
by his gracious compliments and effusive charm. And his protective
concer for "his" stUdent teachers reminds one of a
mother hen and her chicks.
In thinking of Bethel, Jerry Healy immediately comes
to mind, a "landmark" without which Bethel would seemingly
be unrecognizable. I write this column in hopes of heightening
our appreciation for those people who, like Jerry Healy,
are doing so much for us here at Bethel.

.oon Anderson, manager of KA-gy, responded
to the following questions concerning KA-BY, its
problems and its future.
I nte:rvie:w: Anderson
speaks Olu't abo,u,t KA-BY
Clarion:
What do you see as the future of · KA-BY? Is it still
a viable possibility fOr next year?
Don:
The future of KA-BY has several possible directions.
The immediate future depends on those involved or interested
in the station and their commitment to it. It could be a
viable option for next year even without a budget. KA-BY has
operated without :a budget in the past and could again. It
would sim'ply take some dedicated people who know the
ropes .
. It has been suggested that KA-BY be turned into an educational
organization. In its present form KA-BY is an
educational organization just as the other Student Association
organizations. It would be possible to use the studio
facilities for media classes; in fact, that is being done now.
It would be wise for Bethel to consider expanding its offering
of media courses as a part of the curriculum.

Clarion: Do you think KA-BY has proven to be a "failure"
this year?
Don:
There is no doubt that KA-BY has had problems this •
year. However, they seem to have started sometime last
year. I don't like to point fingers, but I will say ·that
many of the problems that led to the ultimate withdrawal
of Senate funds were handed on to me. These problems
were things like mismanagement of the checking account
which had been bouncing for three months when I got it,
as well as a lack of listener-centered programming. Some
of the problems, that arose under my administration were
a lack of responsibility and dedication on the part of
some of the staff member~ and lac~ of cooperation from the
Communicat~ons Board.
Clarion: Do you feel it is important that Bethel have a
radio station?
Don:
The legitimacy and importance of KA-BY have been
questioned in the past few months. It is as legitimate and
important as the other organizations that serve the students
and the college community. It is an alternative to the traditional
forms of Christian radio. It gives the students a form
of ' contemporary expression that stations like KTIS do
not. It teaches those involved what responsibilities
are involv.ed in a business, how a business is operated,
and how to work with one of the most widely used and
universally accepted forms of media today. It also shows
how this media may be used as a tool for Christian outreach.
Yes, KA-BY is very important to Bethel and these
are just a few reasons why.
Clarion: Some people feel you did not support KA-BY enough
when it came down to Senate money being cut off. How
wQuld you respond to this?
D~n:
Some people have accused me of not supporting the
station when it needed support the most. I don't feel I was
given an adequate chance to defend KA-BY. Three times I
asked the Communications Board to meet at a time when
I did not have a conflict. I also told them those times
when I could be available. Yet, despite promises made by
the chairmen (Bob Moeller and later Dave Johnson), such
a meeting was never arranged. In my place, they asked,
the previous manager, John Ensor, to speak for the station.
John, by his own choice, has not worked with the station
since Christmas and was not familiar with my policies
or with what I was attempting to do. Several of my staff
members approached me on this matter and I explained to
them about the Communication Board actions and asked them
to represent the station at the Communication Board meetings
in my absence. None of these people did attend or even
express an interest in doing so. There were only two
people from the staff that attended the Senate m~eting with
me.
I had explained that I had been fighting for the station
ever since I came to Bethel and no longer had the energy,
or the extra time to ' spend 40 hours a week doing so. I
also told . them that if anyone was going to influence this
decision they, the staff, would have to put forth the effort
Only two members did so.
Since the Senate's decision several students have expressed
an interest in retaining the organization without the
budget and I have tried to help them organize this effort.
KA-BY has operated without a budget before and can do
it again. It will simply take some people who know the
ropes and care enough to once again dig into their
own pockets. I wish these people luck and God's blessing.

"Barring further complications, the 1976
Spire will come out this spring," commented
Editor Barb Elseth. "If it does
not, we'll have to mail them out this
summer.
"When it is finished, the book will
contain 264 pages, including eight color
pages and a ' color photo cover. It will
be a paperback book with soft binding."
This year's book is on a tight schedule
and, according to Elseth, problems with
the photography of campus events could
cause a delay.
"It's been rather a frustrating year,"
admitted Elseth. "In looking back, I
don't feel I was really qualified to do
the job. You really need someone with
a lot of experience, or else it needs
to be a professional job."
In response to recent rumblings in
the Senate concerning Spire and its future,
Barb commented: "In the past several
years the Spire budget has dropped
considerably; because of this the quality
has also ,had to drop. It was inevitable.
I think it would be better not to have
a book at all than to have a poor
one."
Barb suggested, ' "If Senate decides
to drop Spire next year, they should
start making definite plans immediately
for the Spire's future rather than waiting
until the ' end of next year when
the Communications Board has a lot
ot last minute hassles. Also, the funds
which would be withheld should be retained
and given to the next Spire when
it comes out. This would allow the Spire
enough funds to do a decent job, at
least for that year."
Regardless of tl)? problems, there will
be a Spire this year. Extra copies were
ordered and these can be purchased
when the books arrive. Students who
ha ve not already ordered one can purchase
a book for $3. (Faculty members
will be charged $8.)

Rec.ommendation made to Dean Brus·hab·er
Committee continues s~arch for b·asketb,all coach
This has been a difficult year for Bethel's athletic
committee members. Not only have they had to deal with the
problems of a conference switch and major restructuring of
the athletic and P .E. departments, but now they are busy with
the complicated task of hiring a new head basketball coach.
(Former coach Jack Trager resigned in February).
success at the collegiate level; and he needed to be someone
' who could make a contribution to Bethel's program
outside of physical education."
An ad hoc search committee was formed to deal with
this task. Mack Nettleton, Director of Student Affairs (and,
incidentally, a former Bethel head basketball coach), Dale'
Stephens, the Dean-appointed chairman of the faculty athletic
committee, and Jim Bragg, Director of College Relations,
who directs Bethel's student recruitment efforts, are the members
of this committee.
The committee processed the applications, weeded some
out, and interviewed four or five promising candidates.
Last week, following an on-campus visit by one of the
"f~nalists," the board made a recommendation to Dean
Brushaber.
By the time that the Clarion goes to press, an invitation
will have been extended by Dean Brushaber. For ethical
reasons, no names will presently be released. Hopefully,
before next week's issue, a final decision will have been
reached.
According to Nettleton} there wer~ between 40 and 50
applicants for the job, some who were self-referred, some
who were referred by others (faculty, allumni, etc.),
and a limited number which the committee contacted.
The committee has had to work with a degree of haste,
because of recruiting considerations. The sooner we hire a
coach, the sooner he can recruit athletes for our program.
"We looked for people who are strong in a nlumber of
'areas," commented Nettleton. "Basically we looked for' a
person who could satisfy several requirements: he needed to
be strong spiritually, and able to fit in with our Christian
community; he needed to be a top-notch coach, with proven
"We agreed, however, not to let this urgency get in the
way of doing a good job," ~tated Nettleton.
Women shatter
records, grab 2nd
at Macalester
by Jim Morud
The women's track team erased three
school records Monday at the Macalester
'InVitational, placing second out of a
field of six. Gustavus, who entered a
legion of contestants, took first place honors.
Freshman Denise Egge contributed
34 of Bethel's 45 points.
The two-mile race began with Denise
Egge clipping the heels of a Carleton
runner for six laps, pushing her to move
at a swift and painful pace. Then, on
the seventh lap, Denise moved around
the winded rabbit, quickening her stride.
She reached the tape an eighth of a
mile ahead of the pack in a time of
12 :44.2, slashing her own school record
by twelve seconds. Denise led all the
way in the one-mile run, finishing in
a time of 5 :47.2.
The 88O-yard medley team of Lynn
Kerber, Robyn Wohler, Kathy Anderson,
and Kim Saylor produced another school
record, although their time of 2 :07 was
only good enough for fourth place.
One thing's for sure. The athletic committee will breathe
a sigh of hard-earned relief when this whole thing is finally
decided.
Sophomore Gail Anderson found her
specialty as she won the half-mile race
in a time of 2 :25.8, the first time she
has ever run that particular distance.
Kathy Sheldon finished fourth in the
half-mile and added a third-place finish
in the discus throw with a hurl of 77' 5".
In the 440-yard dash, Gail tied for second
place, followed by Kathy Sheldon, who
placed fourth.
Robyn Wohler, sailing high and smoothly
over the hurdles, stepping down on
injured ankles, circled the 440i.yard oval,
finishing 50 yards ahead of het opponent
for first place.
Carol Anderson leaped over the high
bar, set at 4' 11", racking up a first
place in her event. In the shot put,
Lynn Kerber heaved the iron ball 29'-
6%" for sixth place. Denise Egge took
fourth in the javelin.
In the final race of the day, the mile
relay, Bethel set another school record.
The old record of 4 :36 was replaced
with a new time of 4:32.2 by the foursome
made up of Kim Saylor, Kathy
Sheldon, Gail Anderson, and anchored
by Denise Egge. Each leg of Bethel's
relay team stretched the lead produced
by Saylor until it reached over 100 yards
before Egge broke the string.
Coach Dawson was elated by her
team's performance.
"We had best performances in almost
all events," she said. "This was really
an encouraging meet to have just before
the State Meet."
Next Monday, May 3, the women will

Do/ten wins fifth
as Ro'ya/s crush
hapless Pipers
by Bruce Ols'en
The Bethel baseball team won the
only game they played last week with
an 8-2 victory over Hamline University.
Pitcher Tim Doten continued his hot
streak on the mound, as he won his
fifth straight game against no defeats.
Doten, a sophomore, was ranked seventh
nationally among NAIA pitchers
prior to , the Hamline game. His superb
control (only five walks in 35 innings
of pitching) and great speed (40 strikeouts
in as many innings) have been
the leading factors in his perfect 5-0
record.
The game was never contested by
the Hamline players, as Bethel jumped
off to an early 2-0 lead after the first
inning. A lead-off single by Bruce Kaihoi
was followed by Barry Jones' fielder's
choice. Jones then stole second on
the next pitch. Cam Johnson, the fourth
batter in the lineup, walked with two
outs to bring up second baseman Kevin
Hallstrom. Hallstrom banged a double
to drive in two runs and put the Royals
in front to stay.
The winning run was scored by Jones
in the third inning. After gaining a leadoff
walk, Jones advanced to second on
a single by Captain Dale Witherington.
J ones then took third when designated
hitter Johnson got hit by a pitched ball.
Hallstrom came up to bat and proceeded
to knock in his third run of the game
with a sacrifice fly to right field. The
Royals went on to score two more runs
tha tinning.
Greg "Homer" Thorn had two hits
for the Royals, with Jones and Hallstrom
each getting three runs batted
in. J ones also scored three runs for
the winners. Kaihoi leads the team in
hitting with 14 hits in 35 times at bat
for a .400 batting average. Thorn, Curt
Oslin, Johnson, and Roger Madison have
also has been hitting well for the Royals,
with their averages hovering around .300.
The Royals are now 11-6 for the season,
with a 1-3 conference record. Bethel's
next game will be tomorrow at
Westmar beginning at 12 :30 p.m. The
Royals will finish the season with a
home game on Thursday against N orthwestern
of Iowa.

Medley relay team shines
Trackmen strong in third place finish
Last Saturday, despite temperatures
in the forties, a chilling rain, as well
as a twenty-mile per hour headwind,
the Bethel track team had one of their
best team performances all season in
the tenth annual Bethel-Macalester Relays.
Eight tough teams ran at Mac's
all-weather track, including six M.I.A.C.
teams (the conference Bethel will compete
with in 1977) . The Royals ended
the day with a very respectable thirdplace
team finish, beating four future
M.I.A.C. opponents in the process. Final
team scores showed Concordia-Moorhead
winning the meet with 121.5 points, followed
closely by St. Johns with 117.5,
Bethel with 74, Hamline with 61, St.
Thomas also with 61, Gustavus Adolphus
with 31, Carleton with 22, and °Macalester
with 16.
The highlight of the meet was the
exciting first-place finish by the distance
medley relay team, consisting of Bill
Whittaker, Curt Brown, Jim Timp, and
Larry Caldwell. (In this relay each man
runs a quarter mile, half mile, threequarter
mile, and mile, respectively.)
Caldwell ran a tremendous mile anchor
Greg Kunst, sophomore tennisman
eight
leg, getting the baton in third place
and eventually crossing the finish line
in first place, nosing out the second
place finisher by half a second. The
distance medley team's time of 10:29
also set a new school record, smashing
the old record by over six seconds.
The only other first place performance
of the day was gained by the sprint
medley relay team of Bruce Peterson,
Steve Hage, Gene Blair, and Dave Clapp,
with a winning time of 3 :34.5.
Bethel's sprinting corps played a vital
role in most of the day's events and
really shone in the 880-yard relay, where
they grabbed second place. This same
team of Doug Harrison, Peterson, Hage,
and Blair also grabbed a fourth in the
440 .... yard relay. The mile relay team
of Hage, Scott Anderson, Whittaker, and
Blair placed third overall, after a blazing
anchor leg effort by Blair. Also
placing third was the shuttle hurdle relay
team of Tom Schafer, utility man Peterson,
and Anderson. The two-mile relay
team of Clapp, Brown, Timp and Caldwell
placed fifth.

Netters top Sioux;
to host Iowans in
weekend matches
by Dan Swanson
Last weekend, the Royals tennis team
smoked Sioux Falls College 8-1 to begin
defense of their Tri-State title which
they have won for four straight years.
Competition in the Tri-State Conference
has been weak in the past. Though the
competition has been getting better each
year, Sioux Falls provided no ma tch.
The Royals lost only one match, at
second doubles, in a tiebreaker. Bethel's
number one seed, Bill De Voe, coasted
to a 1Q....3 pro set victory. Right behind
him at second singles, Dan Joling had
no trouble as he won 1Q....4.
One of the day's most interesting mat-second
place in the pole vault while
Paul Rassmussen and Peterson tied for
third. The javelin team of Ward Anderson
and Whittaker placed fourth, and
the long jump team of Jon Van Loon
and Scott Riddle placed fifth. The team
of Steve Carrigan and Ward Anderson
also placed fifth in both the discus and
the shot put.
Coach Gene Glader had the following
comments on his team's performance:
"We have always done well at the BethelMac
Relays and this year was no exception.
It was a very encouraging meet
and we had some excellent performances,
considering the weather. This meet
will be very encouraging for everybody
on the team as we go into the last
two big meets, pointing for the conference
meet May 8."
Tomorrow afternoon, again at Macalester's
track in St. Paul, the team will
face the tough competition of Moorhead
Sta te, UMD, and Golden Valley. All three
of these teams sport excellent personnel
and will give the Royals all the competition
they will need to get ready
for the conference meet.
ches was provided by Lanny Law. Always
fighting down to the last point,
Lanny was down 0-7 before coming back
to win 10-8. Affectionately called "Lobster"
by teammates, Lanny raised his
personal record in singles competition
this year to 7-1.
The victory over Sioux Falls raised
the Royal's record to 5-3 over all. One
of those losses came at the hands of
the University of Minnesota, 2-7. Competition
has been tough and the team
has missed the loss of Dave Decker
at the beginning of the season.
Today, at 3 p.m. the Royals will be
hosting Northwestern of Iowa at the
Bethel tennis courts. Tomorrow at 9 a.m.
in the morning, the Royals will be playing
again at home, this time hosting
Westmar. These two matches should be
two of the toughest Conference matches
of the year but the Royals will still
be heavily favored to win.
