"It is part of my job," said Toperzer, referring to helping Dobson. "I think restricting the subject of nude art is a bit unrealistic in a college set-ting," he added. Art instructor Dale John-son agreed, adding that when he looked at Dobson's pictures they reminded him of great past works of nude subject matter. Johnson said that with nudes an artist could portray the beauty of the human body without interference from such things as the clothing of the artist's culture. While Toperzer said that restricting the subject of nude art was unrealistic, he also stressed the need to be ap-propriate.

At that time two students, Brett Young and Craig Aycock, were returning-to campus and saw the man running with Krueger in pursuit. Young and Aycock got out of their vehi-cle and joined the chase, and the three of them finally ap-prehended the man in the cir-cle parking lot.

Surely there must be more interesting things to write about than incompletes and selling used books (De-cember 3, p. 1). I would really like to see the Clarion expand its horizons and begin to deal with things outside the walls of Bethel College. The location of Bethel makes it very easy to become secluded. The scope of the articles in the Clarion this year has nicely illustrated this seclusion. Local and national events are of interest to stu-dents and are not out of place in a college newspaper. There is much going on in the Twin Cities, and it should not be ignored. There are many things I can think of that I would like to read about in the Clarion. News from other local cam-puses would keep us up to date on what other students are doing as well as events on other campuses. Draft regis-tration and the court cases against resistors is of interest to many students who are also resistors. Legislation in Washington affects Bethel students. Local Arden Hillis politics and events also affects Bethel students since we live in the community. It would be nice to read interviews of local Christians in business, edu-cation and politics. (We might also learn from an interview of a non-Christian in busi-ness, education or politics.) There are many events in the Twin Cities in the Arts that students would be interested in. There really are limitless possibilities. I know that we can read of most of these things in the local papers, but it would be nice to read a student review of a play, or a student inter-view of a politician or busi-nessperson, or a student's opinion of a bill before Con-gress. .There are many interesting things happening here at Beth-el, but there are also events in the world outside of our Arden Hills campus that affect us as Bethel Students. There is no need to resort to such trivial things as incompletes, book-selling, and the Bethel Five Year Plan to fill the space in the Clarion. Perhaps by dealing with a Dear editor: I wonder. Perhaps you ask about what? It's this. While visiting my Alma Mater this past week I sensed a bit of injustice or perhaps just a "little" oversight. Now what I saw was not in itself bad or caused me to sin, but never the less it was there. Nudes. Nudes that were photo- ' graphed and hung in the gal-lery. Now, as- I recall, quite a stink was raised last year about a similar incident and the material was removed. The first question that comes to mind for me and is the cen-tral question here, not to be muddied by debate, whether nudes are art or pornography, but why there is what seems to be incongruity in a policy at Bethel College. Now, if I were an art instructor res-ponsible for what gets hung in the gallery and I knew that it was breaking a rule to hang something up, I would not wider scope of events in the .Clarion, Bethel Students will begin to come out of seclusion and look at the community around. At the same time, the Clarion may rise from its mediocre state into some - thing we will find interesting and want to read. Sincerely, Patti S. Dobson allow it. I wish to address the break-ing of rules by deliberate ac-tion, which demands repri-manding. I think that one warning is enough and some-thing should be done by a bdard at Bethel to take care-of this. Fire an instructor. Dis-miss a student. Change the rule to allow it. I advocate nothing but congruity in our actionas an institution which is our witness to' the outside world. Our mushiness or in-tended oversight of littly_ugly sores only leads to infection. And infection if left untreated will spread, this we know. Somebody somewhere had better take the bull by the horns before it destroys the whole china shop. This is my cause for alarm and reason for addressing this . incon-gruity. I want to see Bethel grow on its virtues, not in spite of them. Curly Class of 1982 God works in human inadequacy Dear editor, It is often tempting to throw up my hands and scream at the top of my lungs, "I QUIT!!" I look around me, and I see a world full of discord. I am struck with "the disconcerting feeling that I am helpless. The world is full of war, famine and injustice. Our own country is falling apart from the inside out. Corruption in-fests the church, and the fam-ily structure is almost ob-solete. Imperfections are woven into the warp and woof of the human fabric; man is sinful and alone. Even at Bethel, Christian community and all, people are alone. Even at Bethel there is pain and discord. But too often people won't admit they are hurting. In myself I recognize that much of the pain I suffer is a result of seeing how imper-fect I am and how many prob-lems there are to be solved. I get discouraged. Then I am reminded that God works with people, full of imperfections and inade-quacies. Throughout all of his-tory men who have been will-ing to come to Him and submit to His guidance have been used by Him in great and mighty ways. God does not say "change and then I will use you." He says, "let me use you and you will change because of it." He does not call us to clean up our act so He can love us. On the contrary "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us . 11 There will be times when we get discouraged, but in Christ we know that victory is ours. Ruth D.

It was later discovered that the man who had been ar-rested had an outstanding warrant for other charges. He was to go to court on Friday, Dec. 3, according to Tom Countryman, Bethel security officer. Countryman said Bethel security is improving greatly. He said this is not the first time this sort of incident has occurred at Bethel. "But now we're finding and catching them," he said. Nude art exhibit shows inconsistency Choir included in German set by Diane Henry Heniz Werner Zimmer-mann's "Crucifixion" is the choral work 'recorded by the Bethel College Choir that will be included in a German Her-itage Recording. The German Heritage Re-cording is a collection of thirty albums to be released in April 1983. Pieces written from 1945 to 1983 constitute this collec-tion. A German music critic heard the choir's album, then heard it with the Minnesota Orchestra on Feb. 25, 1981. After hearing the choir these two times, he recommended the Bethel recording to the producers 'of German Herit-age. The producers heard the college choir and asked them to be part of the German Her-itage Recording. Robert Berglund, professor of music and director of the college choir said, "The pur-pose of this recording is to preserve German works of merit. In America we have the American Heritage Musi-cal Society, which is similar to the German Heritage Re-cording." Three thousand album sets will be produced. Two thou-sand sets will be given to European and American uni-versities, radio stations, and conservatories. The remaining 1000 will be sold in Europe, where, incidentally, albums of the Bethel College Choir ' sell very well.

It was believed to have all sorts of miraculous qualities: the power of healing and fertility, neutralizing the effects of poisons, protection from witchcraft, banning evil spir-its, and bringing good luck and great blessings. In fact, it was considered so sacred that even enemies who happened to meet beneath a mistletoe in the forest would lay down their arms, exchange a friend-ly greeting, and keep a truce until the following day. A kiss under the mistletoe was interpreted as a sincere pledge of love and a promise of marriage and, at the same time, it was an omen of happ-iness, good fortune, fertility, and long life to the lovers who sealed and made known their engagement by a kiss beneath the sacred plant. Times have changed! To-day, a kiss under the mistle-toe is a token of goodwill and friendship and an omen of happiness and good luck. How is it that the mistletoe came to be associated with Christmas? After Britain con-verted from paganism to Christianity, the church offi-cials would no longer allow the mistletoe to enter the From this old custom grew the practice of suspending mistletoe over a doorway or in a room as a token of good- , widl and pear, t 0 A111: ,cionlers , december 10, 1982 the Clarion page 3 Women's choir enacts Lucia pageant by Sandy Holasek Lucia's fiancee found out the darkest and shortest day she was a Christian and of the year.

When I stepped in— Wham! Suddenly I was bowled over and bombarded with kisses! Little did I know I was standing under the mis-tletoe!" In many American homes, a cluster of mistletoe, shim-mering with silver pearls and pale green leaves, is hung above the door, on the walls, or from the ceiling of the room. The mistletoe gives reason to snatch a kiss from some un-suspecting soul. The history of the mistletoe and the way in which it be-came a Christmas kissing tradition are both unusual and interesting. The mistletoe, a parasite that grows on the /INCH by Marty Stanchfield At 3:15 a.m., that's in the morning, I rolled over and thought about the sleep I needed and wasn't getting. The thought of thinking such a depressing thought so early in the morning pushed me further into my "negative attitude is the only way to go" slump. The last time I had a positive thought was when I replaced the batteries in my pet fish Eric. He likes it when I let him swim around in the bathtub. As the thoughts continued to flow rampantly through my head I realized that the last time I couldn't get to sleep Sammy showed up. Not again, I thought; there's no way I could go through another encounter. Then it happened; that unhappy five-inch cockroach from a Southern Baptist college crawled up into the night stand and once again sat at the base of my lamp. As I reached up to turn on the light I muttered, "Why?," a word I had learned to incorporate into my every thought. As my eyes adjusted to the light I heard his answer. "Because." When I loOked at the cockroach I realized that he was differ-ent. "Why are you so happy?" I asked. "That's why I'm here, I have something I think you need to hear," he answered. "Could you please make it fast?" I said. "I need my rest." "Just slow down," he said to me. "You need to hear what I have to say." "I don't need to listen to anything that you have to say," I retorted. "I see that your attitude is still negative. You need to stop playing in the past and live for the future." Sammy crossed his bottom set of legs. "Explain yourself, please." I was too tired to fight any longer. "Are you thirsty?" he questioned. "Yes," I admitted. He pointed to the glass of water on the table. "So, if you're thirsty why don't you take a drink?" "Because I need a full glass of water and there's only half a glass of water there. It's half gone." I waited for his comeback. "Do you really need a full glass? You see it as empty because of what you drank in the past. You need to take a positive approach. It will only take half a glass to refill it. Now quit complaining and drink." The cockroach sat back and watched. I picked up the glass and drank the water that remained. "There, now the glass is empty," I said as I put the glass back on the table. "Yes, that is true," Sammy said. "But you're not thirsty any more. You need to think on the positive things that you already have. Don't waste your time thinking about what you can't or don't have." As Sammy finished talking I reached up to turn off the light and took one last look at the empty glass. I did a double take because I couldn't believe what I saw. The glass was full. church because it was such a strong symbol of paganism. There was one exception, though. At the Cathedral of York, at one period before the reformation, a large bundle of mistletoe was brought into the sanctuary each year at Christmas and solemnly placed on the altar by a priest. In this rite, the plant which the Druids had called "All-heal," was used as a symbol of Christ, the Divine Healer of nations. The,people of England then adopted the mistletoe as a decoration for their homes at Christmas. Its old, pagan reli-gious meaning was quickly forgotten, but some of the other meanings and customs have survived. Mistletoe sprouts from pagan tradition Tom Toperzer, associate professor of art, would like Bethel to be the best place to get a Christian education in fine arts. Copeland/photo Page 4 the Clarion december 10, 1982 Art chairman wants Bethel to be best in nation by Bonnie Coleman He has directed three art museums within the past 12 years including the Univer-sity Art Museum at Illinois State University, the second largest in Illinois, where he set up an entire program. He orig-inated over 300 art exhibi-tions such as the Illinois and Minnesota Artist Exhibitions, published approximately 50 exhibition catalogs and seeks to bring community attention to art wherever he goes. Who is he? Tom Toperzer, a studio artist and Bethel's new associate professor of art. Toperzer is also the chairman of the art department, coordi-nator of the fine arts division (including the music and the-ater arts departments), and director of the art gallery. Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me," is a verse that has helped Toperzer to believe and be confident in himself. "With Tom plus God, there's really nothing I can't attempt to do," said Toperzer. "Before, the fear of failure and success restricted me, but now I real-ize you have to fail in order to understand how far you can go. And it's okay to fail," he said. Although Toperzer's sched-ule can get very busy, when given some spare time during the day he likes to listen to classical and jazz music (he listens to two FM radio sta-tions). He also loves to read. "I'm a garbage reader," said Toperzer. "I once went through a period in my life when I art, from page 1 tor, he said, "I know of an art director in a major contem-porary museum. He was asked by his board of direc-tors to remove a couple of paintings whose subject mat-ter was torture. They were about Viet Nam. The direc-tors found the paintings of-fensive and asked for their removal. The issue of appro-priateness is not unique to Bethel. It happens everywhere all the time." Is there then any policy appropriately restricting nudes? "Not that I know of," said Toperzer. "Yes and no," said Jessup. "Policy has been discussed, but it becomes subjective when there are great differ-ences of opinion. I myself do not necessarily endorse the art show." "The major difference be-tween this year and last year,". continued Jessup, "is corn-read everything that came to my house. I subscribed to every magazine you can think of ... I was looking for art ideas: I'm an idea person." His "garbage craze" has lowed down. Since he came to the Twin Cities, he started reading the Minneapolis newspaper and took up some more serious reading in the realm of arts and theology. "Rainbows for a Fallen World," by Calvin Seerval, is the book he is reading now. munication." Last year no one headed the art department. "Last year when Dobson, the dean or anyone else had a problem there was no one to focus on. It resulted in a breakdown of communications and knee- Patti Dobson spent a great amount of time finding mod-els, shooting 20 rolls of film developing pictures, framing the 12 displayed photos, and helping to run the art show itself (over 500 attended). "I could not even begin to add up the hours it took to do it," she said. She also spent a great amount of money out of her own pocket. "I spent $250 on photographic supplies, $350 on frames and glass, $40 on post card invitations to the show, and $15 on the recep-tion itself." fi i rowdoo n lietg "I'm hungry to find out what artists who are Christians think," Toperzer said. Toper-zer has a strong concern for the development of Christian artists. "I have spent the past 12 years making artists known or the community become aware of art, but it has been almost all secular. Now I'd also like to help Christian artists and the Christian com-munity get together," said Toperzer. Bethel is a place, according jerk reactions. Now there is someone to focus on—me," said Toperzer. Jessup said that the verdict has not been decided yet concerning policy in this case. "I want to wait and see what the response is," he said. field of photography without the assistance of a faculty member who specialized in it. Bonita Wahl, the photography instructor of last year, was not rehired for economic rea-sons. Dobson has been heavily criticized at times.."I'm afraid a lot of people hate me for this," she said. "Even so, I want everyone to know that it was well worth it to me. There are many re-wards," she said. Showing the photographs is one of these rewards. As Dale Johnson put it, "It is a time of celebration." to Toperzer, that he can use some of his ideas to enhance the development of Christian artists. "Places like Bethel have many important mis-sions, I believe the Christian community is ignorant of the arts—people are afraid of them; there's been a fear of graven images," he said. Toperzer would like to see Bethel make itself known na-tionwide as the best place to get a Christian education in the fine arts. "Bethel should be the immediate place a Christian high school kid who wants to be a painter, actor, ballerina or musician would want to go to be at the center of Christian arts." Bethel can achieve this goal by constructing a performing arts center where Christians can perform and be introduced to the public, said Toperzer. "We have a tradition of excel-lence in the arts at Bethel. I'm interested in building on that tradition and making the Christian community and others aware of this excel-by Bonnie Coleman Following a series of stu-dent and faculty surveys, the Academic Policy Committee's (APC) five-member sub-corn-mittee is in the process of finalizing an agenda of topics to discuss and revise in the present curriculum. One of the steps in finaliz-ing the agenda is to host faculty meetings to discuss the sub-committee's proposed areas of revision. "General education require-ments was the primary. em-phasis in the meeting," said Stan Anderson, professor of philosophy and director of the committee. "There is a strong division of faculty concerning the requirements." Presently 50 per cent of the 34 credit courses needed to graduate are to be completed by the general education re-quirements. Nine to 11 courses are core courses (DO, CO, EN, CR, Words and Ideas, and Bible) and six to eight courses consist of balance courses not represented in the student's specialization. "There should be more flex-ibility for the student's spe-cialization," said Scott Cham-bers, assistant professor of chemistry. "I am a strong be-liever in the value of liberal arts, but don't think they should be emphasized so much that the student is not lence," Toperzer said. Toperzer first became inter-ested in art in high school. "I wasn't a good student in school and tried to stay out of classes that required me to read and study," he said. Shop and art classes became the core of his studies. "The only reason I went to college was because I got a football schol-arship at Southwestern Col-lege in Kansas," Toperzer said, smiling. He completed his B.A. degree at Sterling College, where he transferred after two years. Upon completing his M.F.A. degree at the University of Nebraska, Toperzer was of-fered a job as the first director at Blanden Memorial Art Museum by the President of the Board of Trustees at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Toperzer and his wife Carol have been married 21 years. She is a tour manager for the Bethel music department. They have two sons: Scott, 17 and Max, 13. adequately prepared to get a job." According to Chambers, within the chemistry special-ization it is difficult for the student to get into his/her program all the classes Cham-bers wants as an advisor be-cause of the general require-ments. "I went to the University of California-San Diego where only 40 per cent of the courses required were in general edu-cation. I had course work in humanities, social science, natural science, math, fine arts and a foreign language. I feel adequately prepared in the general arts." Bob Weaver, assistant pro-fessor of business, said, "The 50 per cent of general educa-tion requirements isn't much of a problem. The problem comes with too many seniors taking introductory courses. It doesn't benefit the senior or freshman any." Weaver is intent to have a liberal arts education but op-posed to a drastic change in the requirements, such as a 40 or 30 per cent emphasis on general education. "The ques-tion comes to whether we want to train highly prepared generalists or professionals."

Back then the delectable "sliders" cost five cents each. Inflation has taken its toll. The 100% beef burgers are now 28 cents, but can still be purchased 24 hours a day. To a number of Bethel stu-dents, "Castle runs" are a vital part of the college experience. According to Todd Erickson, "A Castle run isn't official unless it is after midnight." A junior, Erickson has been going to the Castle since his father took the family there when he was seven. As a freshman in Edgren two years ago, Erickson began his offi-cial Castle career. • There is rumor that Bethel students have been going to White Castle late at night for at least 20 years, but few graduates of those days will admit they even know what you are talking about if you ask them. Among those who are proud of the Castle tradition are Joel Hodgson and the infamous "Barking Ducks" and Rick Purifoy with his "Cellar Dwellars." Brian McKay, junior, broke the "slamming" record when he was a freshman "Cellar Dweller" with a time of 4.7 seconds. "Slamming" involves the consumption of a single "slider" for time. The idea is to slam the entire slider into your mouth and swallow it whole. Most people prefer to remove the pickle first so it doesn't get stuck in the throat. There is, however, more than one way to slam-a-slider. There is the "fold and insert" method where you simply fold the slider in half and stuff into your mouth. With the increasingly pop-ular "around-the-world" method, you swing the slider around your head with your right hand and into your mouth from the left side. A third method is called a "gorilla slam" where you grasp the slider with both hands behind your head and quickly slam it into your mouth. Besides slamming for time, some Castle-goers compete for quantity. Two years ago, Jim Eaton consumed 24 sliders, traditionally slamming the last one, and has held the record until last week. At 2:21 a.m., David Purifoy arrived at the White Castle on Central Ave. accompanied by Paul Dahlberg and Blake Huffman, all from Edgren. Purifoy ate 22 sliders before leaving the Castle at 3:47 a.m. with three in his hand. The rules state that you must eat all the burgers in succession, so Purifoy ate two of the slid-ers in the car on the way back to the dorm. David Purifoy slammed his twenty-fifth slider at 4:04 a.m., Wed. Nov. 11, 1982, in room 220 of Edgren dorm in the presence of Brad Flater, his RA. Purifoy now holds the Bethel record for the most sliders consumed. The White Castle tradition is growing in popularity. Their is little concern about this becoming too popular, however. "The hours, and the grease combined with onions that make up most of the 'slider' will keep the majority of people away," commented an anonymous Castle-goer. Asked if he had any advice for people who want to at-tempt the consumption rec-ord, Purifoy exclaimed, "Don't do it! It really hurts bad." Presbyterian Homes offers students opportunity of growth by Sandy Holasek One opportunity for growth for many Bethel students lies on the shores of Lake Johanna at Presbyterian Homes. Presbyterian Homes is one of the most unique care facili-ties for the elderly in the United States, according to Allan Reynolds, business in-structor at Bethel. Reynolds is in the process of formulat-ing a Bethel business intern-ship at Presbyterian Homes. "I see it as unique because it offers many services for the community and provides in-dependent living quarters for the elderly," said Reynolds: Presbyterian Homes serves not just as a health care cen-ter, but as home for the retired and elderly. It also features a day-care program where el-derly men and women can be active on a day-by-day basis. Most of the Bethel students that work at Presbyterian Homes find it very different from other businesses. "We are a non-profit organization so we are interested in caring for the residents instead „of making money," said Shellie Diekoff, junior business major and receptionist at Presbyte-rian Homes. Bill Callen, senior business major, said, "Not only caring but making the elderly feel at home is what makes Presbyterian Homes different." Callen is a security guard and bus driver for the Homes' community day-care center. Diekoff pointed out that Christian commitment seems to be what strengthens this caring. "The residents love the Lord and it shows. The people I work with go out of their way; you see a lot of pride in the employees' work," said Kelley Geary, senior ele-mentary education major and nurses' aid. Wendell Geary, senior in international rela-tions and an orderly, finds the employees flexible and will-ing to help Bethel students. Experiences at Presbyterian Homes brought growth and better awareness of the el-derly to the student em-ployees. "I found that I needed to relate to them as persons and not as objects that are pushed out of society when the age of 65 comes along," said Diekoff. "You find that life does not stop because you are elderly and that they are still inter-ested in things," said Kelley Geary. According to Callen, most young people see elderly peo-ple as reserved and conserva-tive. "What I found out is that they have a lot of fun," he said. Students working at Pres-byterian Homes favor Bethel's further connection with the Home through internships. "It will be great because they will get a chance to learn about business administra-tion and how to care for the geriatric field as a business," said Diekoff. Callen said, "It is a nice place to work and good for a Bethel program because it's a non-profit ser-vice, which is good from e Christian perspective, be-cause you're serving the Lord when you're serving others. by Jim Holmes GAMES The next time you're home for the holidays and pull out that original word game after turkey and dishes, take a good look at those little tiles: Notice the all-important numbers in the right hand corner. They are actually indications of the amount of information contained in the letter on the tile. Before you brush this off, let me quickly explain what is meant by information. We need only the most elementary of ideas from probability and high-school mathematics. Suppose that there are a number of possible results of som-thing you are trying to accomplish or measure. Perhaps only a few of the total number of results are actually acceptable ones. In this case we would say that the probability of getting an acceptable result is the ratio of the number of acceptable trials by the total number of possible results. Several examples are certainly in order. Let's take the letters in the first paragraph of the article to be the set of all possible results. The total number of these characters (counting spaces between words) is 461. Suppose we are interested in the par-ticular letter "H." The number of times it occurs in this same paragraph is 23. So for this experiment, the probability of seeing an "H" would be 23/461 or .049. Granted, taking only one paragraph for our sample of data is a bit risky. We really need many more characters on which to base our probability of seeing a given character. The first section of the classic text on probability and information the-ory written by Richard Hamming, co-founder of coding and information theory contains the letter "H" 251 times. There are 6498 total characters, so the probability of seeing "H" in this sequence of Hamming characters is: 251 - .0386 6498 Since we have used an entire section of Hamming's text, we might infer that most, if not all of his writing would contain an "H"with the same frequency. Let us now look at the term "information." Mathematicians have defined the information of an event as the logarithm (base 2) of the recriprocal of the probability. In the example of the preceding paragraph the information in the "H-event" is therefore log(6498/251) (base 2) When we actually calculate this number, it turns out to be a probability, see page 10 Central Baptist Church 420 North Roy Street St. Paul, Minnesota 646-2751 Pastoral Staff: Rev.

Marilyn Starr, dean of women and administrative representative on the board said, "It is a very active board, and the students on it are mature and responsible." Steve Lemon, vice-presi-dent of Bethel student body and chairman of the commu-nications board, said, "The board deals with the budgets and other aspects of the pub-lications, and reviews student response. The members need to be open-minded and see both sides of every situation."

This type of debate is unique in that it is "one-on-one" de-bating as opposed to the more traditional team concept. In the four preliminary rounds of competition Barkey had a 4-0 record and was the .top seeded individual in the semi-final elimination round. Losing a close debate, he placed third in the tourna-ment. In the most recent national rankings of the Cross Exami-nation Debate Association Bethel College improved its standing from 39th to 23rd in the nation. This ranking rep-resents a strength assessment through a complicated point system that evaluates all the debate programs in the Uni-ted States which participate in value proposition debating.

The Campus Coordinators are sponsoring two all-nighters which will last from 10 p.m. to breakfast. "This will give students an opportunity to get away from their roommates and study," said CC Leslie Schirm. This will be the first year of CC— sponsored all-nighters. "It's kind of an alternative to Per-kins," she added. Coffee and cookies will be provided in the Lemon Lounge. Donations of 5 cents or more will be accepted to pay for the snacks. The cafeteria will be the study area. "No typewriters will be allowed. It is strictly for book study," said Schirm. Rinehart, Roster editor, and Leann Kicker, Passages editor. Notices regarding applica-tion for board membership appear in the Bethel Bulletin periodically. Lemon requests applications, then reviews them before making recom-mendations to the BSA presi-dent Steve Goodwin, who appoints the members. "Hopefully the study area will be quiet," she added. The Campus Coordinators will welcome students back from Christmas vacation by throwing a welcome back bash on Wednesday, Jan. 5, in the Coffee Shop. "Free ice cream sundaes will be served in the Coffee Shop from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.," said Schirm. "It will be a good opportun-ity for friends to get together and talk about their vacation," added Schirm. by Debbie Myhrer BRIDGE, a new Bethel pro-gram, "is an attempt to turn loose the resources of the in-stitution into the greater Chris-tian community," according to Dr. Harold Christianson, director of public and church relations. The program was designed by the public affairs department, which recognized Bethel was "not maximizing its resource," Christianson said. The idea of BRIDGE is to "enable Bethel to go to the people to serve their needs and work." A brochure was sent to nearly 2,000 United States' churches. A catalogue of resources for the use of the Christian community is being designed. Bethel resources to be used in the BRIDGE program in-clude educational and inspi-rational programs, such as Founders' Week and semin-ars, and ministry resource people, such as Bethel faculty and administrators as speak-ers. Other resources include student services involving students in singing, Speaking," and working in church camps, for example. Communication materials are also available. Christianson hopes that young people exposed to BRIDGE services will want to come to Bethel. "The best way for institutions to grow is to serve the public," he said. Another result Christianson envisions is "a constant prayer support for the Bethel student body by our churches." Some BRIDGE services will be provided free of cost and others for, the minimal up-keep of the program.

Think of being separated from a leash only by death. 5. The Crooner Type. This singing sobster is a fore-runner or follower of Elvis and cannot be separated from his "musical instrument." When he sings "I've got Love and a Dime" it is evident that he over-estimates his financial holdings. Whenever one is subjected to his nasal whine the thought comes that the poor campus wolf is no doubt in a trap from which he will never escape. 6. The "Moon-light Gambler" Type. This type furnishes the main reason for locking all classrooms and offices each evening. It is certain that he and his dream girl will be sitting in a dark room. Each room he enters becomes a dark room and a petting parlor. Most authorities admit that he does look better in the dark. 7. The Model-T-Lover (fore-runner of the 1961 model). The Bethel fieldhouse stands as a worthy monument -on the sacred ground where one Bethel couple celebrated many a field-day in an old Model T. The car still had four wheels, but no tires, and, of course, it was air-conditioned. Love could never have been and never will be grander in a new Falcon. 8. The "Sputnik" Type—(Space travelers). This type has no regard for time or place. They return late to the dormitory and bring with them such "fuzzy" excuses as they have gathered on their soaring expeditions: 1. "My watch stopped." What a timely tale! 2. "We ran out of gas." Too bad a car can't run on hot air as there must have been plenty of that. 3. "We got lost in Como Park." No one could doubt that story as they could get lost on the campus. 4. "We got a traffic ticket for speeding just because we were trying to get back to the dormitory on time." ahem! 5. "We had a flat tire." This tale falls as flat in 1961 as it did in 1930. 6. "We went canoeing and while we were in the middle of the lake we lost one paddle so we could only go in circles." Is it possible they are still going in circles ? (A rhetorical question to some of the veteran faculty Romeos- How many of the above excuses bring back memories of the "good old days"? ) 7. The Ideal-lover Type. Yes, there is such a type. These lovers maintain high standards of ethics and of scholarship. They never make public demonstrations of their love for one another. They return to the dormitories on time. The greatest number of Bethel couples can be classified in this group. CONCLUSION: 1. Love-life on the Bethel Campus in 1961 is much the same as it was in 1925. 2. The prediction of the author is that the future love activities will be as interesting as the past have been. 3. What about long-range planning? Whether the campus is on North Snelling or in the Arden Hills area the faculty must continue to look, to over-look, to listen, and "to suffer long and be kind."

(Not available to the public.) INTRODUCTION : Te be known as an authority on the subject Love-life on the Bethel Campus is a humbling experience and one which carries great responsi-bilities. Let it be understood that the vast amount of information has been gained by observation and scientific research, not by personal ex-perience. The Bethel campus seems to be a natural habitat far those who love one another and one of Bethel's aims as an institution interested in Higher Education is to furnish a "Happy Hunting Ground" for Modern Youth. In a careful study of data collected between the years 1925-1961 the following classification becomes evident. CLASSIFICATION—TYPES OF LOVERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED BETHEL: 1. The Starry-eyed Dreamer Type. These lovers gaze adoringly into each others eyes as they dream— always and every-where. In a follow-up survey it has been discovered that they now see stars of much greater brilliance and that the "sweet nothings" which they have whispered on the campus air really are nothing. 2. The Purse-bearer Type. The tall, handsome youth is brave enough and strong enough to carry "lillums' " heavy purse. After the wedding "lillums" is strong enough to carry her own purse as well as his, and she holds the purse-strings "ever after." 3. The Campus-leaders. The Bethel student senate has a motto: "Every Student a Leader." There are many who lead each other up the steps, down the steps, down the hall, and into the chapel where they continue to hold hands. This type causes much frustration on the part of observers as no one can determine who is leading whom. 4. The "Puppy-love" Type. These are the ever-present cuddlers who inhabit the lounges, who occupy only one-balf, of a car seat, and who make any spot on the , campus a "mushing" area.

Anderson new fine arts facility In my record reviews, I have tried to focus in on talented Christian rock artists who steer away from a myopic view of the world, and are tuned in to the larger picture. Andy Pratt is another artist of this calibre, as his mini-album, Fun in the First World (on Enzone records), displays. Andy's targets are clear from the beginning: material-ism and lack of compassion in an aching, doomed world. "Fun in the First World" is a satirical song which, with pointed accuracy, depicts the attitudes Americans have had towards the Third World. Sung against an onslaught of techno-rock synthesizers, guitars and a bouncy drum beat, this song is disguised as a danceable party tune. The arrangement is effective when juxtaposed with the lyrics, which talk about affluent, self-indulgent lifestyles that ignore the hard-ship of the Third World. If people of the Third World try to approach us we tell them, "This is our world—please don't come." But our riches and pleasures are temporal, as the apoca-lyptic "Burn in the Fire" em-phasizes. With an intricate arrangement of driving Super-trampish keyboards, forceful bass and guitar, solid-anchor-ed- down drumming, and top-ped off with Andy's penetrat-ing vocals, it is a powerful statement of our world's need for repentance. "Paper Money" carries on with this theme of the temporal nature of first world pleasures. It is eerie in tone and includes a rhythm part that jars the listener just as the message of the song does. Andy sings it so that it oozes with irony. He says, "Our money's not worth what it used to be/ One thing's for sure, it's worth more than it's going to be." "Israel" is a timely song about the plight of Jews since 1946 in their attempt to estab-lish a homeland. It opens with dreamy, mournful synthesizer and piano, while drums that sound like explosions pound in the background. Aided by blistering guitar, symphonic sounding synthesizers, and Andy's emotion-filled voice, the song reflects the tumult and terror of the situation in the Mideast. Both sides are left screaming, "I wanna go home," but there is no peace-ful "home sweet home" in sight. "Who Will be My Friend" is a delicate song of empathy for lonely widows, orphans, and elderly. This poignantly ren-dered song calls attention to hurting individuals and brings to mind Christ's words, which are felt throughout the album, "As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, so you did it unto me." There are only five songs on this venture, but they are at a reduced price. And there is not an inch of wasted vinyl. Because you will not be likely to find "Fun in the First World" at a local record store—Chris-tian or secular—write to: Enzone records, 545 High St., Walpole, Massachusetts 02081, if you are interested. by Amy Goss Tom Toperzer, associate professor of art, is beginning to work on plans for a new fine arts building. "I'm getting together the names of foundations and other grant agencies who have expressed interest in giving money for the arts and/or reli-gious purposes. I plan to write a grant proposal and ask them if they would be willing to fund a feasibility study for the building," said Toperzer. The building would include a museum for collecting and exhibiting Christian art, a per-forming arts center, a chapel, and classrooms for all the music, art, and drama classes. These would move out of their present facilities, leaving them open for additional class space. It might also include offices for the president and administration. The feasibility study deter-mines if money is available for this kind of structure and if not, what it is available for. It also seeks to determine how much the project would be supported by the Christian community. "In a feasibility study, you get all kinds of experts to-gether— dreamers, men who are practical and those with large funds—and determine what the structure would include," spaid Toperzer. Things such A projected en-rollment and new technologi-cal advances are explored. "We have a vision for qual-ity," said Toperzer. "We're dreaming but want to aim high rather than too low." One proposed site for the building is at the end of the Academic Center stretching out toward Lake Valentine. Some supporters are inter-ested in connecting the col-lege to the seminary with an enclosed walkway between the two. Underground park-ing has also been suggested. "I don't see it limited to being a college facility, but a landmark for the Christian community. There are no Christian museums or places where a Christian production should debut. I see this as a type of Kennedy Center or Guthrie-Walker Arts center, a major place for the arts for the Christian community. lo-cally and beyond, perhaps nationwide," said Toperzer. "It can be done," he stressed. "It is a matter of making it happen." Toperzer, new at Bethel this year, feels this is part of the reason he was brought here. He initiated the art museum at Illinois State University and was the director of that museum. "Things like this take a lot of time," said Toperzer. He estimated that in three to five years Bethel will make some hard decisions about the building.

By using similar calculations we can determine that the information is log(6998/4), which works out to a 10. Hamming and the game seem to be in strong agreement when it comes to "Q" 's! In summary, letters which occur infrequently are associated with a much higher information content. EVENTS The next time you're walking through life, take a good look at the actions of those around you. Events (collections of these actions) which have a high probability contain little informa-tion. Do you disagree? Consider the event which might be described as receiving a good, Christian greeting in the halls at Bethel. Events occurring infrequently are associated with a much higher information content: Event 1. Students spend their afternoon helping, analyzing and challenging their colleagues as they all work together on that assignment. The probability of such an event at Bethel might be .0386 (my guess); if so the associated information, at least to a semester weary prof is 4.717. Thanks, mathlab gang! Event 2. Students, on their daily pilgrimage between park-ing lot and ceremonial stairs leavethe trail to pick up someone's discarded soft drink container abandoned on the side of the creek.

If enough support can be found, an artificial-surface playing field could be ready next fall for Bethel sports. Henry suggested Schwab's name be used as a memorial to him for his involvement with Bethel. His initial gift for the fieldhouse was a challenge for others to become involved. Schwab died last April after a battle with cancer. "Chuck Schwab is one of the greatest men I ever knew. I would like to dedicate a facility of qual-ity to him," said Henry. "No definite commitment has been made by Bethel or any contributors yet," said Henry. "So far this study is independent of Bethel and done on my own time." Fi-nances must be met for the fieldhouse before any new fundraising drives can be started. The stadium and fieldhouse are completely separate projects. "If $800,000 can be raised by April 1983, construction will start next summer. But that's an awful big if," said Henry. "We need half of the projected $1.5 million cost to start anything." Not only Bethel supporters have been contacted for the project. Friends of Chuck Schwab who want to remem-ber him in a special way have shown interest. - • George Henry, director of athe-tics, is conducting a feasibility study. Copeland/photo The first phase of construc-tion entails preparation of the soil, laying a sub-base for the field, and installing the turf. Planned for the second phase are a 400-meter, eight-lane, all-weather track, permanent concrete stands (capacity 3000), and possible lighting. Locker rooms and a conces-sion stand would be added if funds were available. The existing home bleachers will be moved to the visitors' side, adding seats for 1000. "Optimistically I see the first phase completed next fall. Realistically, I think it will be done one year from September," said Henry. The stadium, according to Henry's plan, would be avail-able to the entire community. Physical education classes, intramural sports, joggers, and area youth teams would have access. "It's designed to be used," said Henry. "With grass you always have to worry about tearing it up." Bethel's current field is used 14 times per sea-son and is in poor condition. Drainage problems account for the field's deterioration. Though Henry feels artifi-cial turf is not necessary to the survival of Bethel's sports program, it would aid recruit-ing, increase visibility, and bring exposure to Bethel. Many of the stadium's ideas came from Hillsdale College in Michigan. Hillsdale, a school of 1100, recently built a $1.8 million athletic field and a $10.4 million field house. The stadium is part of an extensive south campus de-velopment plan that includes three dormitories and the field house. It would be located west of the present field, in an area that is presently a marsh. events Friday, Dec. 10 WVB—NCAA National Tourney W1343—Bethel Christmas Tourney, Home, 6 pm.

Residence Halls Close at Noon Senate accepts bill, resignations by Todd Erickson A letter of resignation once again began a Student Senate meeting, the meeting taking place Dec-. 6. The resignations came from president pro tern Bob Thomp-son and Junior Senator John Young. They will both be spending the spring of 1983 in Washington, D.C., as part of the American Studies Pro-gram. Bills and old business were discussed at length at the meeting. The first bill was a Student Senate reimburse-ment bill concerning money spent by Steve Goodwin, Steve Lemon and Craig S. Johnson during the summer, on Senate work. The second bill was a bill to pay for travel to the recent Board of Regents meeting, attended by Steve Lemon and Bob Thompson, and this bill was passed. Campus Coordinator Leslie Schirm gave a special report which involved getting feed-back from fall CC events and sharing ideas for next semes-ter. The general consensus was that the committee and publicity have both worked well, and events have been enjoyable and well-received. Future ideas include more movies, a snow tubing trip, concerts to be worked in con-junction with the Progressive Pacer, and a Chanhassen Theatre outing. The Senate also discussed plans for some January work-ing groups, to give the Senate members something to work on during Interim. The pres-ent plan is for four groups. . The first would be a Constitu-tion Revision group, the sec-ond a Student Senate Forum Committee, the third group would cover a future book sale/exchange, while the fourth would help Craig S. Johnson with equipment for the Student Association. wrestling, from page 12 "We've got a few soft spots," said head coach Dave Klos-treich.

Although the general edu-cation requirement is cur-rently a focus with the APC, sub-committee, and faculty guidelines for specializations, cognates, non-standard spe-cializations and new degrees are also part of the proposed agenda. "Student input is really im-portant. Students should be concerned about the curricu-lum changes," said Beth Tal- • bot, junior and member of the APC sub-committee.

Clark During its four-game trip to Florida the Bethel men's bas-ketball team proved that it could play with the scholar-ship- laden NCAA division schools. However, it's one thing to play with a team and quite another to beat it. The Royals completed their expedition to the Sunshine State with a 1-3 record. The Royals opened with Florida Southern University— the runner-up in division II last season. Bethel didn't seem impressed with Florida South-ern's reputation and gave them more than they expected before losing by a 74-67 mar-gin. Florida Southern must have thought the Royals were ref-ugees from Disneyworld's Fantasy World as Bethel trailed by only one point at the half. With two minutes to go in the contest the deficit was only two points for Bethel but Florida Southern went into a stall and free throws helped to pad their lead. "We took the game away from them on the inside and forced them to the outside," said coach George Palke. Jason Velgersdyk and Dion Wolter caused their share of problems for Florida South-ern as they made their pres-ence known on the inside with 15 and 14 points respectively. Bethel was unable to repeat its effort the next night against Eckard as halfcourt press "created some prob- . lems" and 27 turnovers re-sulted in a 72-55 Royal de-feat. Wolter again was a Bethel standout with 19 points and 16 rebounds. "They were quick and we didn't react very well to it," commented Palke. by Wendy Norberg The Bethel women's bas-ketball team lost 56-44 to con-ference powerhouse St. Tho- . mas Tuesday night, Nov. 30, in a defensively dominated game. Due to a problem with offensive execution and the excellence of the Tommies' defense, Bethel managed to make only 27 per cent of its shots. The strong point of the Royal's game was also in their defensive play. Despite the loss the team After one day off, when the team traveled to Disneyworld, the Royals returned to the hardcourt against St. Leo Col-lege. The Royals found them-selves in a physical game they weren't prepared for against St. Leo's, as well as finding themselves on the short end of a 64-57 score. Bethel's twin towers of power, Velgersdyk and Wolter, led the Royals. Velgersdyk had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Wolter chipped in with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Bethel's final game of the tour came on Dec. 4 against Weber with the Royals trying to break a four-game losing streak. The Royals took out a week of frustrations and near-missed on Weber as they won handily 88-55. "We just took charge and made them play our game," said Palke. Velgersdyk had another steller performance with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Dwayne "Dewey" Nordstrom had 10 points and 11 rebounds and Pete Briscoe had seven points and 12 rebounds in only six minutes of play. The front court had to thank the back court for all its points as the guard tandem of Mike Hanley, Bill Lawson and Roy Lucas played a big part in the 31 assists piled up. The Roy-als also racked up a school-record 66 rebounds during the game. Despite its 1-3 record dur-ing the trip Palke felt his squad played well, as he ro-tated his starting line-ups in each contest. "We worked on some phases we couldn't work on before in scrimmages," he said. "We were able to do some different things on defense and we used the zone quite a bit." kept up a hard, fast pace throughout the game. Coach Bjorklund was pleased with the determination and energy displayed, but saw the need to work on offensive aggres-siveness and rebounding. Karen Almeroth was high scorer with 12 points and also played well defensively, rack-ing up 9 blocked shots. Sue Deuhn led the team in re-bounds and an overall im-provement was seen at the free throw line as the squad put in 66 per cent of its shots. by John Lilleberg After a superb performance at the MIAC Thanksgiving tournament, the hockey team appears to have come down to earth again. The week began with a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime loss to defending national champion Augsburg. Augs-burg scored first but the Roy-als tied it at 1-1 with a goal by Jon Abrahamson, assisted by Scott Mayer. Following a sec-ond AugsbLirg goal, Jeff Ek-lund tied the game for the Royals with a goal assisted by Dave Palinguist and Gary Shibrowski. After another Augsburg goal, Scott Mayer tied it at 3-3 with assists going to Scott Prigge and Bruce Nord. Dave Palmquist put Bethel in the lead 4-3 late in the game, with assists from Jeff Eklund and Bruce Nord. Shortly after Palmquist's goal, Augsburg tied the score to send the game into overtime. The overtime featured a number of close chances for both teams. It was highlighted The JV squad also fell to the Tommies, 76-66, but a notice-able improvement was seen in its offensive play from the prior week, and the depth of the Royal bench continues to develop as the JV gets more college game experience. "St. Thomas is expected to be an MIAC power," com-mented Bjorklund, "so I was pleased with the game we gave them and see it as an indicator of how we can do this season." by Bob Atol's sparkling play in the Bethel goal. Finally, the Auggies managed to beat Atol on an open break to win the game.- The effort was summed up by Coach Craig Dahl, "We played well, especially the for-wards. We've lost three games by one goal. We've just got to start winning the close ones." In the next game, a new powerplay, five powerplay goals and a slow Bethel start helped St. Olaf defeat the Royals 8-4. Scoring for Bethel by Rich Whybrew Although the wrestling team finished fourth out of seven teams at the Terry Hawes Invitational on Satur- ' day, Dec. 4, there were some .fine individual performances given by Royal wrestlers. Bethel was given a bye in Bethel traveled to St. Cath-erine's Tuesday, Dec. 7, and plays on campus Dec. 10 and 11 as it hosts the second annual Bethel Christmas Tournament.

According to Coach Dahl, "They scored five powerplay goals. They threw a powerplay at us that we had never seen before. We got bet-ter as the game went on. We outshot them 17-6 in the third period; we've just got to start quicker." The Royals' next game is Dec. 10 at St. Mary's.

The Royals were de-feated in the.match 32-18, but John Snyder, Ben McEachern, Barry Ahlsten, and Rodger Sullivan turned in fine per-formances, winning their matches. Snyder was the first Royal to win a match in the tourna-ment, pinning his opponent in the 177 class. McEachern de-cisioned his opponent 3-2 in the 167 class, Ahlsten got a win in the 177 class, and Sul-livan pinned his 190-pound opponent to make up Bethel's scoring in the match. In the next round the Roy-als wrestled St. John's and lost 28-18. Snyder recorded his second pin of the day and McEachern also pinned his opponent.

"It is part of my job," said Toperzer, referring to helping Dobson. "I think restricting the subject of nude art is a bit unrealistic in a college set-ting," he added. Art instructor Dale John-son agreed, adding that when he looked at Dobson's pictures they reminded him of great past works of nude subject matter. Johnson said that with nudes an artist could portray the beauty of the human body without interference from such things as the clothing of the artist's culture. While Toperzer said that restricting the subject of nude art was unrealistic, he also stressed the need to be ap-propriate.

At that time two students, Brett Young and Craig Aycock, were returning-to campus and saw the man running with Krueger in pursuit. Young and Aycock got out of their vehi-cle and joined the chase, and the three of them finally ap-prehended the man in the cir-cle parking lot.

Surely there must be more interesting things to write about than incompletes and selling used books (De-cember 3, p. 1). I would really like to see the Clarion expand its horizons and begin to deal with things outside the walls of Bethel College. The location of Bethel makes it very easy to become secluded. The scope of the articles in the Clarion this year has nicely illustrated this seclusion. Local and national events are of interest to stu-dents and are not out of place in a college newspaper. There is much going on in the Twin Cities, and it should not be ignored. There are many things I can think of that I would like to read about in the Clarion. News from other local cam-puses would keep us up to date on what other students are doing as well as events on other campuses. Draft regis-tration and the court cases against resistors is of interest to many students who are also resistors. Legislation in Washington affects Bethel students. Local Arden Hillis politics and events also affects Bethel students since we live in the community. It would be nice to read interviews of local Christians in business, edu-cation and politics. (We might also learn from an interview of a non-Christian in busi-ness, education or politics.) There are many events in the Twin Cities in the Arts that students would be interested in. There really are limitless possibilities. I know that we can read of most of these things in the local papers, but it would be nice to read a student review of a play, or a student inter-view of a politician or busi-nessperson, or a student's opinion of a bill before Con-gress. .There are many interesting things happening here at Beth-el, but there are also events in the world outside of our Arden Hills campus that affect us as Bethel Students. There is no need to resort to such trivial things as incompletes, book-selling, and the Bethel Five Year Plan to fill the space in the Clarion. Perhaps by dealing with a Dear editor: I wonder. Perhaps you ask about what? It's this. While visiting my Alma Mater this past week I sensed a bit of injustice or perhaps just a "little" oversight. Now what I saw was not in itself bad or caused me to sin, but never the less it was there. Nudes. Nudes that were photo- ' graphed and hung in the gal-lery. Now, as- I recall, quite a stink was raised last year about a similar incident and the material was removed. The first question that comes to mind for me and is the cen-tral question here, not to be muddied by debate, whether nudes are art or pornography, but why there is what seems to be incongruity in a policy at Bethel College. Now, if I were an art instructor res-ponsible for what gets hung in the gallery and I knew that it was breaking a rule to hang something up, I would not wider scope of events in the .Clarion, Bethel Students will begin to come out of seclusion and look at the community around. At the same time, the Clarion may rise from its mediocre state into some - thing we will find interesting and want to read. Sincerely, Patti S. Dobson allow it. I wish to address the break-ing of rules by deliberate ac-tion, which demands repri-manding. I think that one warning is enough and some-thing should be done by a bdard at Bethel to take care-of this. Fire an instructor. Dis-miss a student. Change the rule to allow it. I advocate nothing but congruity in our actionas an institution which is our witness to' the outside world. Our mushiness or in-tended oversight of littly_ugly sores only leads to infection. And infection if left untreated will spread, this we know. Somebody somewhere had better take the bull by the horns before it destroys the whole china shop. This is my cause for alarm and reason for addressing this . incon-gruity. I want to see Bethel grow on its virtues, not in spite of them. Curly Class of 1982 God works in human inadequacy Dear editor, It is often tempting to throw up my hands and scream at the top of my lungs, "I QUIT!!" I look around me, and I see a world full of discord. I am struck with "the disconcerting feeling that I am helpless. The world is full of war, famine and injustice. Our own country is falling apart from the inside out. Corruption in-fests the church, and the fam-ily structure is almost ob-solete. Imperfections are woven into the warp and woof of the human fabric; man is sinful and alone. Even at Bethel, Christian community and all, people are alone. Even at Bethel there is pain and discord. But too often people won't admit they are hurting. In myself I recognize that much of the pain I suffer is a result of seeing how imper-fect I am and how many prob-lems there are to be solved. I get discouraged. Then I am reminded that God works with people, full of imperfections and inade-quacies. Throughout all of his-tory men who have been will-ing to come to Him and submit to His guidance have been used by Him in great and mighty ways. God does not say "change and then I will use you." He says, "let me use you and you will change because of it." He does not call us to clean up our act so He can love us. On the contrary "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us . 11 There will be times when we get discouraged, but in Christ we know that victory is ours. Ruth D. Hubbard security, from page 1 ered articles missing from their instrument locker, a purse and some money. It was later discovered that the man who had been ar-rested had an outstanding warrant for other charges. He was to go to court on Friday, Dec. 3, according to Tom Countryman, Bethel security officer. Countryman said Bethel security is improving greatly. He said this is not the first time this sort of incident has occurred at Bethel. "But now we're finding and catching them," he said. Nude art exhibit shows inconsistency Choir included in German set by Diane Henry Heniz Werner Zimmer-mann's "Crucifixion" is the choral work 'recorded by the Bethel College Choir that will be included in a German Her-itage Recording. The German Heritage Re-cording is a collection of thirty albums to be released in April 1983. Pieces written from 1945 to 1983 constitute this collec-tion. A German music critic heard the choir's album, then heard it with the Minnesota Orchestra on Feb. 25, 1981. After hearing the choir these two times, he recommended the Bethel recording to the producers 'of German Herit-age. The producers heard the college choir and asked them to be part of the German Her-itage Recording. Robert Berglund, professor of music and director of the college choir said, "The pur-pose of this recording is to preserve German works of merit. In America we have the American Heritage Musi-cal Society, which is similar to the German Heritage Re-cording." Three thousand album sets will be produced. Two thou-sand sets will be given to European and American uni-versities, radio stations, and conservatories. The remaining 1000 will be sold in Europe, where, incidentally, albums of the Bethel College Choir ' sell very well.

It was believed to have all sorts of miraculous qualities: the power of healing and fertility, neutralizing the effects of poisons, protection from witchcraft, banning evil spir-its, and bringing good luck and great blessings. In fact, it was considered so sacred that even enemies who happened to meet beneath a mistletoe in the forest would lay down their arms, exchange a friend-ly greeting, and keep a truce until the following day. A kiss under the mistletoe was interpreted as a sincere pledge of love and a promise of marriage and, at the same time, it was an omen of happ-iness, good fortune, fertility, and long life to the lovers who sealed and made known their engagement by a kiss beneath the sacred plant. Times have changed! To-day, a kiss under the mistle-toe is a token of goodwill and friendship and an omen of happiness and good luck. How is it that the mistletoe came to be associated with Christmas? After Britain con-verted from paganism to Christianity, the church offi-cials would no longer allow the mistletoe to enter the From this old custom grew the practice of suspending mistletoe over a doorway or in a room as a token of good- , widl and pear, t 0 A111: ,cionlers , december 10, 1982 the Clarion page 3 Women's choir enacts Lucia pageant by Sandy Holasek Lucia's fiancee found out the darkest and shortest day she was a Christian and of the year.

When I stepped in— Wham! Suddenly I was bowled over and bombarded with kisses! Little did I know I was standing under the mis-tletoe!" In many American homes, a cluster of mistletoe, shim-mering with silver pearls and pale green leaves, is hung above the door, on the walls, or from the ceiling of the room. The mistletoe gives reason to snatch a kiss from some un-suspecting soul. The history of the mistletoe and the way in which it be-came a Christmas kissing tradition are both unusual and interesting. The mistletoe, a parasite that grows on the /INCH by Marty Stanchfield At 3:15 a.m., that's in the morning, I rolled over and thought about the sleep I needed and wasn't getting. The thought of thinking such a depressing thought so early in the morning pushed me further into my "negative attitude is the only way to go" slump. The last time I had a positive thought was when I replaced the batteries in my pet fish Eric. He likes it when I let him swim around in the bathtub. As the thoughts continued to flow rampantly through my head I realized that the last time I couldn't get to sleep Sammy showed up. Not again, I thought; there's no way I could go through another encounter. Then it happened; that unhappy five-inch cockroach from a Southern Baptist college crawled up into the night stand and once again sat at the base of my lamp. As I reached up to turn on the light I muttered, "Why?," a word I had learned to incorporate into my every thought. As my eyes adjusted to the light I heard his answer. "Because." When I loOked at the cockroach I realized that he was differ-ent. "Why are you so happy?" I asked. "That's why I'm here, I have something I think you need to hear," he answered. "Could you please make it fast?" I said. "I need my rest." "Just slow down," he said to me. "You need to hear what I have to say." "I don't need to listen to anything that you have to say," I retorted. "I see that your attitude is still negative. You need to stop playing in the past and live for the future." Sammy crossed his bottom set of legs. "Explain yourself, please." I was too tired to fight any longer. "Are you thirsty?" he questioned. "Yes," I admitted. He pointed to the glass of water on the table. "So, if you're thirsty why don't you take a drink?" "Because I need a full glass of water and there's only half a glass of water there. It's half gone." I waited for his comeback. "Do you really need a full glass? You see it as empty because of what you drank in the past. You need to take a positive approach. It will only take half a glass to refill it. Now quit complaining and drink." The cockroach sat back and watched. I picked up the glass and drank the water that remained. "There, now the glass is empty," I said as I put the glass back on the table. "Yes, that is true," Sammy said. "But you're not thirsty any more. You need to think on the positive things that you already have. Don't waste your time thinking about what you can't or don't have." As Sammy finished talking I reached up to turn off the light and took one last look at the empty glass. I did a double take because I couldn't believe what I saw. The glass was full. church because it was such a strong symbol of paganism. There was one exception, though. At the Cathedral of York, at one period before the reformation, a large bundle of mistletoe was brought into the sanctuary each year at Christmas and solemnly placed on the altar by a priest. In this rite, the plant which the Druids had called "All-heal," was used as a symbol of Christ, the Divine Healer of nations. The,people of England then adopted the mistletoe as a decoration for their homes at Christmas. Its old, pagan reli-gious meaning was quickly forgotten, but some of the other meanings and customs have survived. Mistletoe sprouts from pagan tradition Tom Toperzer, associate professor of art, would like Bethel to be the best place to get a Christian education in fine arts. Copeland/photo Page 4 the Clarion december 10, 1982 Art chairman wants Bethel to be best in nation by Bonnie Coleman He has directed three art museums within the past 12 years including the Univer-sity Art Museum at Illinois State University, the second largest in Illinois, where he set up an entire program. He orig-inated over 300 art exhibi-tions such as the Illinois and Minnesota Artist Exhibitions, published approximately 50 exhibition catalogs and seeks to bring community attention to art wherever he goes. Who is he? Tom Toperzer, a studio artist and Bethel's new associate professor of art. Toperzer is also the chairman of the art department, coordi-nator of the fine arts division (including the music and the-ater arts departments), and director of the art gallery. Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me," is a verse that has helped Toperzer to believe and be confident in himself. "With Tom plus God, there's really nothing I can't attempt to do," said Toperzer. "Before, the fear of failure and success restricted me, but now I real-ize you have to fail in order to understand how far you can go. And it's okay to fail," he said. Although Toperzer's sched-ule can get very busy, when given some spare time during the day he likes to listen to classical and jazz music (he listens to two FM radio sta-tions). He also loves to read. "I'm a garbage reader," said Toperzer. "I once went through a period in my life when I art, from page 1 tor, he said, "I know of an art director in a major contem-porary museum. He was asked by his board of direc-tors to remove a couple of paintings whose subject mat-ter was torture. They were about Viet Nam. The direc-tors found the paintings of-fensive and asked for their removal. The issue of appro-priateness is not unique to Bethel. It happens everywhere all the time." Is there then any policy appropriately restricting nudes? "Not that I know of," said Toperzer. "Yes and no," said Jessup. "Policy has been discussed, but it becomes subjective when there are great differ-ences of opinion. I myself do not necessarily endorse the art show." "The major difference be-tween this year and last year,". continued Jessup, "is corn-read everything that came to my house. I subscribed to every magazine you can think of ... I was looking for art ideas: I'm an idea person." His "garbage craze" has lowed down. Since he came to the Twin Cities, he started reading the Minneapolis newspaper and took up some more serious reading in the realm of arts and theology. "Rainbows for a Fallen World," by Calvin Seerval, is the book he is reading now. munication." Last year no one headed the art department. "Last year when Dobson, the dean or anyone else had a problem there was no one to focus on. It resulted in a breakdown of communications and knee- Patti Dobson spent a great amount of time finding mod-els, shooting 20 rolls of film developing pictures, framing the 12 displayed photos, and helping to run the art show itself (over 500 attended). "I could not even begin to add up the hours it took to do it," she said. She also spent a great amount of money out of her own pocket. "I spent $250 on photographic supplies, $350 on frames and glass, $40 on post card invitations to the show, and $15 on the recep-tion itself." fi i rowdoo n lietg "I'm hungry to find out what artists who are Christians think," Toperzer said. Toper-zer has a strong concern for the development of Christian artists. "I have spent the past 12 years making artists known or the community become aware of art, but it has been almost all secular. Now I'd also like to help Christian artists and the Christian com-munity get together," said Toperzer. Bethel is a place, according jerk reactions. Now there is someone to focus on—me," said Toperzer. Jessup said that the verdict has not been decided yet concerning policy in this case.

Bonita Wahl, the photography instructor of last year, was not rehired for economic rea-sons. Dobson has been heavily criticized at times.."I'm afraid a lot of people hate me for this," she said. "Even so, I want everyone to know that it was well worth it to me. There are many re-wards," she said. Showing the photographs is one of these rewards. As Dale Johnson put it, "It is a time of celebration." to Toperzer, that he can use some of his ideas to enhance the development of Christian artists. "Places like Bethel have many important mis-sions, I believe the Christian community is ignorant of the arts—people are afraid of them; there's been a fear of graven images," he said. Toperzer would like to see Bethel make itself known na-tionwide as the best place to get a Christian education in the fine arts. "Bethel should be the immediate place a Christian high school kid who wants to be a painter, actor, ballerina or musician would want to go to be at the center of Christian arts." Bethel can achieve this goal by constructing a performing arts center where Christians can perform and be introduced to the public, said Toperzer. "We have a tradition of excel-lence in the arts at Bethel. I'm interested in building on that tradition and making the Christian community and others aware of this excel-by Bonnie Coleman Following a series of stu-dent and faculty surveys, the Academic Policy Committee's (APC) five-member sub-corn-mittee is in the process of finalizing an agenda of topics to discuss and revise in the present curriculum. One of the steps in finaliz-ing the agenda is to host faculty meetings to discuss the sub-committee's proposed areas of revision. "General education require-ments was the primary. em-phasis in the meeting," said Stan Anderson, professor of philosophy and director of the committee. "There is a strong division of faculty concerning the requirements." Presently 50 per cent of the 34 credit courses needed to graduate are to be completed by the general education re-quirements. Nine to 11 courses are core courses (DO, CO, EN, CR, Words and Ideas, and Bible) and six to eight courses consist of balance courses not represented in the student's specialization. "There should be more flex-ibility for the student's spe-cialization," said Scott Cham-bers, assistant professor of chemistry. "I am a strong be-liever in the value of liberal arts, but don't think they should be emphasized so much that the student is not lence," Toperzer said. Toperzer first became inter-ested in art in high school. "I wasn't a good student in school and tried to stay out of classes that required me to read and study," he said. Shop and art classes became the core of his studies. "The only reason I went to college was because I got a football schol-arship at Southwestern Col-lege in Kansas," Toperzer said, smiling. He completed his B.A. degree at Sterling College, where he transferred after two years. Upon completing his M.F.A. degree at the University of Nebraska, Toperzer was of-fered a job as the first director at Blanden Memorial Art Museum by the President of the Board of Trustees at Fort Dodge, Iowa. Toperzer and his wife Carol have been married 21 years. She is a tour manager for the Bethel music department. They have two sons: Scott, 17 and Max, 13. adequately prepared to get a job." According to Chambers, within the chemistry special-ization it is difficult for the student to get into his/her program all the classes Cham-bers wants as an advisor be-cause of the general require-ments. "I went to the University of California-San Diego where only 40 per cent of the courses required were in general edu-cation. I had course work in humanities, social science, natural science, math, fine arts and a foreign language. I feel adequately prepared in the general arts." Bob Weaver, assistant pro-fessor of business, said, "The 50 per cent of general educa-tion requirements isn't much of a problem. The problem comes with too many seniors taking introductory courses. It doesn't benefit the senior or freshman any." Weaver is intent to have a liberal arts education but op-posed to a drastic change in the requirements, such as a 40 or 30 per cent emphasis on general education. "The ques-tion comes to whether we want to train highly prepared generalists or professionals."

Chisholm Gary Underwood INSURANCE Life—Auto—Home Business St. Paul; MN 55101 december 10, 1982 the Clarions Page 5 White Castle 'slamming' tradition lives after midnight by Ruth Delight Hubbard White Castle has been serv-ing its small, square ham-burgers since 1921. Back then the delectable "sliders" cost five cents each. Inflation has taken its toll. The 100% beef burgers are now 28 cents, but can still be purchased 24 hours a day. To a number of Bethel stu-dents, "Castle runs" are a vital part of the college experience. According to Todd Erickson, "A Castle run isn't official unless it is after midnight." A junior, Erickson has been going to the Castle since his father took the family there when he was seven. As a freshman in Edgren two years ago, Erickson began his offi-cial Castle career. • There is rumor that Bethel students have been going to White Castle late at night for at least 20 years, but few graduates of those days will admit they even know what you are talking about if you ask them. Among those who are proud of the Castle tradition are Joel Hodgson and the infamous "Barking Ducks" and Rick Purifoy with his "Cellar Dwellars." Brian McKay, junior, broke the "slamming" record when he was a freshman "Cellar Dweller" with a time of 4.7 seconds. "Slamming" involves the consumption of a single "slider" for time. The idea is to slam the entire slider into your mouth and swallow it whole. Most people prefer to remove the pickle first so it doesn't get stuck in the throat. There is, however, more than one way to slam-a-slider. There is the "fold and insert" method where you simply fold the slider in half and stuff into your mouth. With the increasingly pop-ular "around-the-world" method, you swing the slider around your head with your right hand and into your mouth from the left side. A third method is called a "gorilla slam" where you grasp the slider with both hands behind your head and quickly slam it into your mouth. Besides slamming for time, some Castle-goers compete for quantity. Two years ago, Jim Eaton consumed 24 sliders, traditionally slamming the last one, and has held the record until last week. At 2:21 a.m., David Purifoy arrived at the White Castle on Central Ave. accompanied by Paul Dahlberg and Blake Huffman, all from Edgren. Purifoy ate 22 sliders before leaving the Castle at 3:47 a.m. with three in his hand. The rules state that you must eat all the burgers in succession, so Purifoy ate two of the slid-ers in the car on the way back to the dorm. David Purifoy slammed his twenty-fifth slider at 4:04 a.m., Wed. Nov. 11, 1982, in room 220 of Edgren dorm in the presence of Brad Flater, his RA. Purifoy now holds the Bethel record for the most sliders consumed. The White Castle tradition is growing in popularity. Their is little concern about this becoming too popular, however. "The hours, and the grease combined with onions that make up most of the 'slider' will keep the majority of people away," commented an anonymous Castle-goer. Asked if he had any advice for people who want to at-tempt the consumption rec-ord, Purifoy exclaimed, "Don't do it! It really hurts bad." Presbyterian Homes offers students opportunity of growth by Sandy Holasek One opportunity for growth for many Bethel students lies on the shores of Lake Johanna at Presbyterian Homes. Presbyterian Homes is one of the most unique care facili-ties for the elderly in the United States, according to Allan Reynolds, business in-structor at Bethel. Reynolds is in the process of formulat-ing a Bethel business intern-ship at Presbyterian Homes. "I see it as unique because it offers many services for the community and provides in-dependent living quarters for the elderly," said Reynolds: Presbyterian Homes serves not just as a health care cen-ter, but as home for the retired and elderly. It also features a day-care program where el-derly men and women can be active on a day-by-day basis. Most of the Bethel students that work at Presbyterian Homes find it very different from other businesses. "We are a non-profit organization so we are interested in caring for the residents instead „of making money," said Shellie Diekoff, junior business major and receptionist at Presbyte-rian Homes. Bill Callen, senior business major, said, "Not only caring but making the elderly feel at home is what makes Presbyterian Homes different." Callen is a security guard and bus driver for the Homes' community day-care center. Diekoff pointed out that Christian commitment seems to be what strengthens this caring. "The residents love the Lord and it shows. The people I work with go out of their way; you see a lot of pride in the employees' work," said Kelley Geary, senior ele-mentary education major and nurses' aid. Wendell Geary, senior in international rela-tions and an orderly, finds the employees flexible and will-ing to help Bethel students. Experiences at Presbyterian Homes brought growth and better awareness of the el-derly to the student em-ployees. "I found that I needed to relate to them as persons and not as objects that are pushed out of society when the age of 65 comes along," said Diekoff. "You find that life does not stop because you are elderly and that they are still inter-ested in things," said Kelley Geary. According to Callen, most young people see elderly peo-ple as reserved and conserva-tive. "What I found out is that they have a lot of fun," he said. Students working at Pres-byterian Homes favor Bethel's further connection with the Home through internships. "It will be great because they will get a chance to learn about business administra-tion and how to care for the geriatric field as a business," said Diekoff. Callen said, "It is a nice place to work and good for a Bethel program because it's a non-profit ser-vice, which is good from e Christian perspective, be-cause you're serving the Lord when you're serving others. by Jim Holmes GAMES The next time you're home for the holidays and pull out that original word game after turkey and dishes, take a good look at those little tiles: Notice the all-important numbers in the right hand corner. They are actually indications of the amount of information contained in the letter on the tile. Before you brush this off, let me quickly explain what is meant by information. We need only the most elementary of ideas from probability and high-school mathematics. Suppose that there are a number of possible results of som-thing you are trying to accomplish or measure. Perhaps only a few of the total number of results are actually acceptable ones. In this case we would say that the probability of getting an acceptable result is the ratio of the number of acceptable trials by the total number of possible results. Several examples are certainly in order. Let's take the letters in the first paragraph of the article to be the set of all possible results. The total number of these characters (counting spaces between words) is 461. Suppose we are interested in the par-ticular letter "H." The number of times it occurs in this same paragraph is 23. So for this experiment, the probability of seeing an "H" would be 23/461 or .049. Granted, taking only one paragraph for our sample of data is a bit risky. We really need many more characters on which to base our probability of seeing a given character. The first section of the classic text on probability and information the-ory written by Richard Hamming, co-founder of coding and information theory contains the letter "H" 251 times. There are 6498 total characters, so the probability of seeing "H" in this sequence of Hamming characters is: 251 - .0386 6498 Since we have used an entire section of Hamming's text, we might infer that most, if not all of his writing would contain an "H"with the same frequency. Let us now look at the term "information." Mathematicians have defined the information of an event as the logarithm (base 2) of the recriprocal of the probability. In the example of the preceding paragraph the information in the "H-event" is therefore log(6498/251) (base 2) When we actually calculate this number, it turns out to be a probability, see page 10 Central Baptist Church 420 North Roy Street St. Paul, Minnesota 646-2751 Pastoral Staff: Rev.

Marilyn Starr, dean of women and administrative representative on the board said, "It is a very active board, and the students on it are mature and responsible." Steve Lemon, vice-presi-dent of Bethel student body and chairman of the commu-nications board, said, "The board deals with the budgets and other aspects of the pub-lications, and reviews student response.

This type of debate is unique in that it is "one-on-one" de-bating as opposed to the more traditional team concept. In the four preliminary rounds of competition Barkey had a 4-0 record and was the .top seeded individual in the semi-final elimination round. Losing a close debate, he placed third in the tourna-ment.

The Campus Coordinators are sponsoring two all-nighters which will last from 10 p.m. to breakfast. "This will give students an opportunity to get away from their roommates and study," said CC Leslie Schirm. This will be the first year of CC— sponsored all-nighters. "It's kind of an alternative to Per-kins," she added. Coffee and cookies will be provided in the Lemon Lounge. Donations of 5 cents or more will be accepted to pay for the snacks. The cafeteria will be the study area. "No typewriters will be allowed. It is strictly for book study," said Schirm. Rinehart, Roster editor, and Leann Kicker, Passages editor. Notices regarding applica-tion for board membership appear in the Bethel Bulletin periodically. Lemon requests applications, then reviews them before making recom-mendations to the BSA presi-dent Steve Goodwin, who appoints the members. "Hopefully the study area will be quiet," she added. The Campus Coordinators will welcome students back from Christmas vacation by throwing a welcome back bash on Wednesday, Jan. 5, in the Coffee Shop. "Free ice cream sundaes will be served in the Coffee Shop from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.," said Schirm. "It will be a good opportun-ity for friends to get together and talk about their vacation," added Schirm. by Debbie Myhrer BRIDGE, a new Bethel pro-gram, "is an attempt to turn loose the resources of the in-stitution into the greater Chris-tian community," according to Dr. Harold Christianson, director of public and church relations. The program was designed by the public affairs department, which recognized Bethel was "not maximizing its resource," Christianson said. The idea of BRIDGE is to "enable Bethel to go to the people to serve their needs and work." A brochure was sent to nearly 2,000 United States' churches. A catalogue of resources for the use of the Christian community is being designed. Bethel resources to be used in the BRIDGE program in-clude educational and inspi-rational programs, such as Founders' Week and semin-ars, and ministry resource people, such as Bethel faculty and administrators as speak-ers. Other resources include student services involving students in singing, Speaking," and working in church camps, for example. Communication materials are also available. Christianson hopes that young people exposed to BRIDGE services will want to come to Bethel. "The best way for institutions to grow is to serve the public," he said. Another result Christianson envisions is "a constant prayer support for the Bethel student body by our churches." Some BRIDGE services will be provided free of cost and others for, the minimal up-keep of the program.

Think of being separated from a leash only by death. 5. The Crooner Type. This singing sobster is a fore-runner or follower of Elvis and cannot be separated from his "musical instrument." When he sings "I've got Love and a Dime" it is evident that he over-estimates his financial holdings. Whenever one is subjected to his nasal whine the thought comes that the poor campus wolf is no doubt in a trap from which he will never escape. 6. The "Moon-light Gambler" Type. This type furnishes the main reason for locking all classrooms and offices each evening. It is certain that he and his dream girl will be sitting in a dark room. Each room he enters becomes a dark room and a petting parlor. Most authorities admit that he does look better in the dark. 7. The Model-T-Lover (fore-runner of the 1961 model). The Bethel fieldhouse stands as a worthy monument -on the sacred ground where one Bethel couple celebrated many a field-day in an old Model T. The car still had four wheels, but no tires, and, of course, it was air-conditioned. Love could never have been and never will be grander in a new Falcon. 8. The "Sputnik" Type—(Space travelers). This type has no regard for time or place. They return late to the dormitory and bring with them such "fuzzy" excuses as they have gathered on their soaring expeditions: 1. "My watch stopped." What a timely tale! 2. "We ran out of gas." Too bad a car can't run on hot air as there must have been plenty of that. 3. "We got lost in Como Park." No one could doubt that story as they could get lost on the campus. 4. "We got a traffic ticket for speeding just because we were trying to get back to the dormitory on time." ahem! 5. "We had a flat tire." This tale falls as flat in 1961 as it did in 1930. 6. "We went canoeing and while we were in the middle of the lake we lost one paddle so we could only go in circles." Is it possible they are still going in circles ? (A rhetorical question to some of the veteran faculty Romeos- How many of the above excuses bring back memories of the "good old days"? ) 7. The Ideal-lover Type. Yes, there is such a type. These lovers maintain high standards of ethics and of scholarship. They never make public demonstrations of their love for one another. They return to the dormitories on time. The greatest number of Bethel couples can be classified in this group. CONCLUSION: 1. Love-life on the Bethel Campus in 1961 is much the same as it was in 1925. 2. The prediction of the author is that the future love activities will be as interesting as the past have been. 3. What about long-range planning? Whether the campus is on North Snelling or in the Arden Hills area the faculty must continue to look, to over-look, to listen, and "to suffer long and be kind."

(Not available to the public.) INTRODUCTION : Te be known as an authority on the subject Love-life on the Bethel Campus is a humbling experience and one which carries great responsi-bilities. Let it be understood that the vast amount of information has been gained by observation and scientific research, not by personal ex-perience. The Bethel campus seems to be a natural habitat far those who love one another and one of Bethel's aims as an institution interested in Higher Education is to furnish a "Happy Hunting Ground" for Modern Youth. In a careful study of data collected between the years 1925-1961 the following classification becomes evident. CLASSIFICATION—TYPES OF LOVERS WHO HAVE ATTENDED BETHEL: 1. The Starry-eyed Dreamer Type. These lovers gaze adoringly into each others eyes as they dream— always and every-where. In a follow-up survey it has been discovered that they now see stars of much greater brilliance and that the "sweet nothings" which they have whispered on the campus air really are nothing. 2. The Purse-bearer Type. The tall, handsome youth is brave enough and strong enough to carry "lillums' " heavy purse. After the wedding "lillums" is strong enough to carry her own purse as well as his, and she holds the purse-strings "ever after." 3. The Campus-leaders. The Bethel student senate has a motto: "Every Student a Leader." There are many who lead each other up the steps, down the steps, down the hall, and into the chapel where they continue to hold hands. This type causes much frustration on the part of observers as no one can determine who is leading whom. 4. The "Puppy-love" Type. These are the ever-present cuddlers who inhabit the lounges, who occupy only one-balf, of a car seat, and who make any spot on the , campus a "mushing" area.

Anderson new fine arts facility In my record reviews, I have tried to focus in on talented Christian rock artists who steer away from a myopic view of the world, and are tuned in to the larger picture. Andy Pratt is another artist of this calibre, as his mini-album, Fun in the First World (on Enzone records), displays. Andy's targets are clear from the beginning: material-ism and lack of compassion in an aching, doomed world. "Fun in the First World" is a satirical song which, with pointed accuracy, depicts the attitudes Americans have had towards the Third World. Sung against an onslaught of techno-rock synthesizers, guitars and a bouncy drum beat, this song is disguised as a danceable party tune. The arrangement is effective when juxtaposed with the lyrics, which talk about affluent, self-indulgent lifestyles that ignore the hard-ship of the Third World. If people of the Third World try to approach us we tell them, "This is our world—please don't come." But our riches and pleasures are temporal, as the apoca-lyptic "Burn in the Fire" em-phasizes. With an intricate arrangement of driving Super-trampish keyboards, forceful bass and guitar, solid-anchor-ed- down drumming, and top-ped off with Andy's penetrat-ing vocals, it is a powerful statement of our world's need for repentance. "Paper Money" carries on with this theme of the temporal nature of first world pleasures. It is eerie in tone and includes a rhythm part that jars the listener just as the message of the song does. Andy sings it so that it oozes with irony. He says, "Our money's not worth what it used to be/ One thing's for sure, it's worth more than it's going to be." "Israel" is a timely song about the plight of Jews since 1946 in their attempt to estab-lish a homeland. It opens with dreamy, mournful synthesizer and piano, while drums that sound like explosions pound in the background. Aided by blistering guitar, symphonic sounding synthesizers, and Andy's emotion-filled voice, the song reflects the tumult and terror of the situation in the Mideast. Both sides are left screaming, "I wanna go home," but there is no peace-ful "home sweet home" in sight. "Who Will be My Friend" is a delicate song of empathy for lonely widows, orphans, and elderly. This poignantly ren-dered song calls attention to hurting individuals and brings to mind Christ's words, which are felt throughout the album, "As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, so you did it unto me." There are only five songs on this venture, but they are at a reduced price. And there is not an inch of wasted vinyl. Because you will not be likely to find "Fun in the First World" at a local record store—Chris-tian or secular—write to: Enzone records, 545 High St., Walpole, Massachusetts 02081, if you are interested. by Amy Goss Tom Toperzer, associate professor of art, is beginning to work on plans for a new fine arts building. "I'm getting together the names of foundations and other grant agencies who have expressed interest in giving money for the arts and/or reli-gious purposes. I plan to write a grant proposal and ask them if they would be willing to fund a feasibility study for the building," said Toperzer. The building would include a museum for collecting and exhibiting Christian art, a per-forming arts center, a chapel, and classrooms for all the music, art, and drama classes. These would move out of their present facilities, leaving them open for additional class space. It might also include offices for the president and administration. The feasibility study deter-mines if money is available for this kind of structure and if not, what it is available for. It also seeks to determine how much the project would be supported by the Christian community. "In a feasibility study, you get all kinds of experts to-gether— dreamers, men who are practical and those with large funds—and determine what the structure would include," spaid Toperzer. Things such A projected en-rollment and new technologi-cal advances are explored. "We have a vision for qual-ity," said Toperzer. "We're dreaming but want to aim high rather than too low." One proposed site for the building is at the end of the Academic Center stretching out toward Lake Valentine. Some supporters are inter-ested in connecting the col-lege to the seminary with an enclosed walkway between the two. Underground park-ing has also been suggested. "I don't see it limited to being a college facility, but a landmark for the Christian community. There are no Christian museums or places where a Christian production should debut. I see this as a type of Kennedy Center or Guthrie-Walker Arts center, a major place for the arts for the Christian community. lo-cally and beyond, perhaps nationwide," said Toperzer. "It can be done," he stressed. "It is a matter of making it happen." Toperzer, new at Bethel this year, feels this is part of the reason he was brought here. He initiated the art museum at Illinois State University and was the director of that museum. "Things like this take a lot of time," said Toperzer. He estimated that in three to five years Bethel will make some hard decisions about the building.

What happens when we calculate tht information asso-ciated with a letter which occurs less frequently, way a "Q" which is found only 4 times in Hamming's book? By using similar calculations we can determine that the information is log(6998/4), which works out to a 10. Hamming and the game seem to be in strong agreement when it comes to "Q" 's! In summary, letters which occur infrequently are associated with a much higher information content. EVENTS The next time you're walking through life, take a good look at the actions of those around you. Events (collections of these actions) which have a high probability contain little informa-tion. Do you disagree? Consider the event which might be described as receiving a good, Christian greeting in the halls at Bethel. Events occurring infrequently are associated with a much higher information content: Event 1. Students spend their afternoon helping, analyzing and challenging their colleagues as they all work together on that assignment. The probability of such an event at Bethel might be .0386 (my guess); if so the associated information, at least to a semester weary prof is 4.717. Thanks, mathlab gang! Event 2. Students, on their daily pilgrimage between park-ing lot and ceremonial stairs leavethe trail to pick up someone's discarded soft drink container abandoned on the side of the creek. The probability of such an event might be 4/6498 (my guess, again). If so, the associated information is 10. Special thanks, Larry! Event 3.

Lexington Shoreview, MN 55112 december 10, 1982 the Clarion page 11 Study undertaken on new stadium by Neal Bernards George Henry, director of athletics, is conducting a feasi-bility study on a multi-pur-pose stadium that would be named in honor of Chuck Schwab. If enough support can be found, an artificial-surface playing field could be ready next fall for Bethel sports. Henry suggested Schwab's name be used as a memorial to him for his involvement with Bethel. His initial gift for the fieldhouse was a challenge for others to become involved. Schwab died last April after a battle with cancer. "Chuck Schwab is one of the greatest men I ever knew. I would like to dedicate a facility of qual-ity to him," said Henry. "No definite commitment has been made by Bethel or any contributors yet," said Henry. "So far this study is independent of Bethel and done on my own time." Fi-nances must be met for the fieldhouse before any new fundraising drives can be started. The stadium and fieldhouse are completely separate projects. "If $800,000 can be raised by April 1983, construction will start next summer. But that's an awful big if," said Henry. "We need half of the projected $1.5 million cost to start anything." Not only Bethel supporters have been contacted for the project. Friends of Chuck Schwab who want to remem-ber him in a special way have shown interest. - • George Henry, director of athe-tics, is conducting a feasibility study. Copeland/photo The first phase of construc-tion entails preparation of the soil, laying a sub-base for the field, and installing the turf. Planned for the second phase are a 400-meter, eight-lane, all-weather track, permanent concrete stands (capacity 3000), and possible lighting. Locker rooms and a conces-sion stand would be added if funds were available. The existing home bleachers will be moved to the visitors' side, adding seats for 1000. "Optimistically I see the first phase completed next fall. Realistically, I think it will be done one year from September," said Henry. The stadium, according to Henry's plan, would be avail-able to the entire community. Physical education classes, intramural sports, joggers, and area youth teams would have access. "It's designed to be used," said Henry. "With grass you always have to worry about tearing it up." Bethel's current field is used 14 times per sea-son and is in poor condition. Drainage problems account for the field's deterioration. Though Henry feels artifi-cial turf is not necessary to the survival of Bethel's sports program, it would aid recruit-ing, increase visibility, and bring exposure to Bethel. Many of the stadium's ideas came from Hillsdale College in Michigan. Hillsdale, a school of 1100, recently built a $1.8 million athletic field and a $10.4 million field house. The stadium is part of an extensive south campus de-velopment plan that includes three dormitories and the field house. It would be located west of the present field, in an area that is presently a marsh. events Friday, Dec. 10 WVB—NCAA National Tourney W1343—Bethel Christmas Tourney, Home, 6 pm.

Residence Halls Close at Noon Senate accepts bill, resignations by Todd Erickson A letter of resignation once again began a Student Senate meeting, the meeting taking place Dec-. 6. The resignations came from president pro tern Bob Thomp-son and Junior Senator John Young. They will both be spending the spring of 1983 in Washington, D.C., as part of the American Studies Pro-gram. Bills and old business were discussed at length at the meeting. The first bill was a Student Senate reimburse-ment bill concerning money spent by Steve Goodwin, Steve Lemon and Craig S. Johnson during the summer, on Senate work. The second bill was a bill to pay for travel to the recent Board of Regents meeting, attended by Steve Lemon and Bob Thompson, and this bill was passed. Campus Coordinator Leslie Schirm gave a special report which involved getting feed-back from fall CC events and sharing ideas for next semes-ter. The general consensus was that the committee and publicity have both worked well, and events have been enjoyable and well-received. Future ideas include more movies, a snow tubing trip, concerts to be worked in con-junction with the Progressive Pacer, and a Chanhassen Theatre outing. The Senate also discussed plans for some January work-ing groups, to give the Senate members something to work on during Interim. The pres-ent plan is for four groups. . The first would be a Constitu-tion Revision group, the sec-ond a Student Senate Forum Committee, the third group would cover a future book sale/exchange, while the fourth would help Craig S. Johnson with equipment for the Student Association. wrestling, from page 12 "We've got a few soft spots," said head coach Dave Klos-treich. "But it's still early in the season and not everyone is in shape yet." "We're moving into the toughest part of the dual meet season," he added. "But after Christmas it should get easier." The Royals wrestled at home against St. Cloud Wed-nesday, Dec. 8 and will wres-tle at Northwestern Saturday, Dec. 11 as part of their pre- Christmas schedule. apc, from page 4 lem of seniors in introductory level classes, but I think facul-ty are creative enough to find a way to work something out," Weaver said. Although the general edu-cation requirement is cur-rently a focus with the APC, sub-committee, and faculty guidelines for specializations, cognates, non-standard spe-cializations and new degrees are also part of the proposed agenda. "Student input is really im-portant. Students should be concerned about the curricu-lum changes," said Beth Tal- • bot, junior and member of the APC sub-committee. "We need to know what they need and want. They will eventually be the main critics of this." Talbot said she hopes to get a group of about 20 students together starting interim to discuss the curriculum revi-sion. She welcomes any in-terested students to put a note in her PO.

Copeland/photo Auggies, Olies slip past skaters page 12 the clarion december 10, 1982 by John. Clark During its four-game trip to Florida the Bethel men's bas-ketball team proved that it could play with the scholar-ship- laden NCAA division schools. However, it's one thing to play with a team and quite another to beat it. The Royals completed their expedition to the Sunshine State with a 1-3 record. The Royals opened with Florida Southern University— the runner-up in division II last season. Bethel didn't seem impressed with Florida South-ern's reputation and gave them more than they expected before losing by a 74-67 mar-gin. Florida Southern must have thought the Royals were ref-ugees from Disneyworld's Fantasy World as Bethel trailed by only one point at the half. With two minutes to go in the contest the deficit was only two points for Bethel but Florida Southern went into a stall and free throws helped to pad their lead. "We took the game away from them on the inside and forced them to the outside," said coach George Palke. Jason Velgersdyk and Dion Wolter caused their share of problems for Florida South-ern as they made their pres-ence known on the inside with 15 and 14 points respectively. Bethel was unable to repeat its effort the next night against Eckard as halfcourt press "created some prob- . lems" and 27 turnovers re-sulted in a 72-55 Royal de-feat. Wolter again was a Bethel standout with 19 points and 16 rebounds. "They were quick and we didn't react very well to it," commented Palke. by Wendy Norberg The Bethel women's bas-ketball team lost 56-44 to con-ference powerhouse St. Tho- . mas Tuesday night, Nov. 30, in a defensively dominated game. Due to a problem with offensive execution and the excellence of the Tommies' defense, Bethel managed to make only 27 per cent of its shots. The strong point of the Royal's game was also in their defensive play. Despite the loss the team After one day off, when the team traveled to Disneyworld, the Royals returned to the hardcourt against St. Leo Col-lege. The Royals found them-selves in a physical game they weren't prepared for against St. Leo's, as well as finding themselves on the short end of a 64-57 score. Bethel's twin towers of power, Velgersdyk and Wolter, led the Royals. Velgersdyk had 21 points and 10 rebounds and Wolter chipped in with 15 points and 14 rebounds. Bethel's final game of the tour came on Dec. 4 against Weber with the Royals trying to break a four-game losing streak. The Royals took out a week of frustrations and near-missed on Weber as they won handily 88-55. "We just took charge and made them play our game," said Palke. Velgersdyk had another steller performance with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Dwayne "Dewey" Nordstrom had 10 points and 11 rebounds and Pete Briscoe had seven points and 12 rebounds in only six minutes of play. The front court had to thank the back court for all its points as the guard tandem of Mike Hanley, Bill Lawson and Roy Lucas played a big part in the 31 assists piled up. The Roy-als also racked up a school-record 66 rebounds during the game. Despite its 1-3 record dur-ing the trip Palke felt his squad played well, as he ro-tated his starting line-ups in each contest. "We worked on some phases we couldn't work on before in scrimmages," he said. "We were able to do some different things on defense and we used the zone quite a bit." kept up a hard, fast pace throughout the game. Coach Bjorklund was pleased with the determination and energy displayed, but saw the need to work on offensive aggres-siveness and rebounding. Karen Almeroth was high scorer with 12 points and also played well defensively, rack-ing up 9 blocked shots. Sue Deuhn led the team in re-bounds and an overall im-provement was seen at the free throw line as the squad put in 66 per cent of its shots. by John Lilleberg After a superb performance at the MIAC Thanksgiving tournament, the hockey team appears to have come down to earth again. The week began with a heartbreaking 5-4 overtime loss to defending national champion Augsburg. Augs-burg scored first but the Roy-als tied it at 1-1 with a goal by Jon Abrahamson, assisted by Scott Mayer. Following a sec-ond AugsbLirg goal, Jeff Ek-lund tied the game for the Royals with a goal assisted by Dave Palinguist and Gary Shibrowski. After another Augsburg goal, Scott Mayer tied it at 3-3 with assists going to Scott Prigge and Bruce Nord. Dave Palmquist put Bethel in the lead 4-3 late in the game, with assists from Jeff Eklund and Bruce Nord. Shortly after Palmquist's goal, Augsburg tied the score to send the game into overtime. The overtime featured a number of close chances for both teams. It was highlighted The JV squad also fell to the Tommies, 76-66, but a notice-able improvement was seen in its offensive play from the prior week, and the depth of the Royal bench continues to develop as the JV gets more college game experience. "St. Thomas is expected to be an MIAC power," com-mented Bjorklund, "so I was pleased with the game we gave them and see it as an indicator of how we can do this season." by Bob Atol's sparkling play in the Bethel goal. Finally, the Auggies managed to beat Atol on an open break to win the game.- The effort was summed up by Coach Craig Dahl, "We played well, especially the for-wards. We've lost three games by one goal. We've just got to start winning the close ones." In the next game, a new powerplay, five powerplay goals and a slow Bethel start helped St. Olaf defeat the Royals 8-4. Scoring for Bethel by Rich Whybrew Although the wrestling team finished fourth out of seven teams at the Terry Hawes Invitational on Satur- ' day, Dec. 4, there were some .fine individual performances given by Royal wrestlers.

According to Coach Dahl, "They scored five powerplay goals. They threw a powerplay at us that we had never seen before. We got bet-ter as the game went on. We outshot them 17-6 in the third period; we've just got to start quicker." The Royals' next game is Dec. 10 at St. Mary's. This is followed by a game at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 at the State Fair Coliseum against St. Thomas. the first round and then wrestled Southwest State in the second round of the tour-nament.

Snyder was the first Royal to win a match in the tourna-ment, pinning his opponent in the 177 class. McEachern de-cisioned his opponent 3-2 in the 167 class, Ahlsten got a win in the 177 class, and Sul-livan pinned his 190-pound opponent to make up Bethel's scoring in the match. In the next round the Roy-als wrestled St. John's and lost 28-18. Snyder recorded his second pin of the day and McEachern also pinned his opponent.
