Bethel lover
ideal capacity'
We all feel the shove as more students
come to study at Bethel. The old
campus is presently housing over 400
students. This is not the largest number
of people ever to stay on the Snelling
campus, but Miss Starr admits the .dorms
are over their ideal capacity.
When it was realized that the Snelling
campus would probably be needed for
two more years, steps were taken to
improve the buildings.
Rooms were painted (some for the
first time in fifteen years), new furniture
was purchased for the lounges and
rec rooms, and the Edgren front lounge
received new carpeting.
While both Bodien and Hagstrom have
more people than last year, the students
are adjusting quite well. Bodien is housing
girls in the health service rooms,
and most Hagstrom rooms house four
instead of the intended three. Miss Starr
says those arrangements are safe; the
girls aren't complaining either.
The main problem resulting from the
extra people on old campus seems to
be on the Bethel bus. However, Paul
Drake is recording the number of stu-dents
on each bus run, and will make
changes or additions accordingly.
Paul said, "I have learned the secret
of contentment in every situation." (Philippians
4 :12) Students at Bethel this year
are portraying such an attitude in spite
of the soaring enrollment.
It's Sunny and
Ron at Bod ien
by Cindy Hillegas
Ron and Sunny Anderson courted in
the library of the old campus over three
years ago. Now they are back in a very
different role, "mom and dad" to 155
Bethel women. They are the first houseparents
at Bodien for almost 20 years.
Their goal this year is to build pride
in the dorm. Improvements such as painting,
new furniture, and better appliances
ha ve been made in Bodien already.
Ron, a· graduate of Bethel college, is
in his third year at the seminary, preparing
for the ministry. He is Minister
of Music and Youth at Oak Hills Baptist
Church.
Sunny is an occupational therapist,
but instead of going back to work she
applied for the job of housemother. "I
lived at Eagle Manor for awhile," she
said, "and the houseparents' job seemed
pretty easy then. After two weeks of
school, she admits, "It's a lot harder
than I thought. You have to be available
from 7 :30 in the morning to 1
a.m."
Sunny said she wasn't used to working
through the channels of an administration
to get things done. (Ron says
she just can't operate on a budget!)
Sunny was nervous· and excited until
the girls . came, and since then she's
been too busy to think about it. Ron
didn't know how all those girls would
react to a man in the dorm, especially
when he might be "in the wrong place
at the wrong time." The girls have
adjusted well to Ron's call of "man
on floor" when something needs to be
fbced or ~oved.
Also new to the Bodien dorm is a
15-month old Christine Laura Anderson,
or "Kiki" for short. With all those builtin
babysitters, Sunny admits she may
get spoiled. So may Kiki's younger bro·
ther, due to be born in March.
Their family life has changed since
coming to Bodien. "It's noisier," says
Sunny. "Lots less privacy," Ron adds.
Sunny said, "We have lots of good
girls here. I don't expect any problems."
Ron and Sunny both agree, "We don't
feel like houseparents .... more like a
couple of over-grown college students."
Editorial
Senate PAC is
important first step
In the last meeting of the Bethel Student Senate, that
body voted to form a Public Action Committee to be responsible
for the creation and organization of such public service
projects as blood drives, benefit concerts, and so on. It
, was argued by some senators in that meeting that such
"public action" should be considered Bethel's reasonable
Christian Service. While we heartily agree with those senators
on this point, we must add that it also seems reasonable
to us that the Bethel Student Association should
initiate such kinds of Christian service. The Association, while
perhaps feeling the loss of the strong leadership provided
by last year's seniors, is nevertheless beginning to sense
its own power. We immediately need a Public Action Committee
to channel Association energy and dollars into sociallyconcerned
forms of Christian service. We're glad the Student
Senate acted so quickly on this issue. The formation
of the PAC is an important first step for the '74-'75 Senate
to make.
***
The first official action of the Public Action CO\l1mitteee,
as we understand it, will be a voter registration drive next
week; 'Students who' are not registered to vote may do so
at the booth which will be' set up by the Committee on
September 26. Students who do not wish to be registered
as a resident of Arden Hills may request absentee ballot
forms, which the Committee will take ,the responsibility to
obtain for any student who wants one. Hopefully, this will
make it nearly impossible for a Bethel student to claim
that voting in the November elections win be inconvenient
for him or her.
***
Our humble apologies go to the organizers of last year's
African Relief Project. In last week's editorial we wrote that
the sum they raised was in excess of $6,000. We're happy
to say we were wrong - the project ' raised over $10,000.

American man has always been fascinated by the eternal
quest to do that which has never been done before. To
establish for himself a name in the annals of time. To
make or break new records of human achievement - to
boldly go where no man has gone before (and return).
Each man must break out from his own being, look at him��self
and assess his own acme.
In striving to stretch his abilities to the utmost, man
has been found to attempt bizarre and irrational acts. The
following is a collection of these attempts and some suggestions
for further experiment.
1. How many tractor tires can you inflate with one
breath?
2. How many pairs of black socks and blue socks
can you match under an Ultra Violet light?
3. How many knots can you tie in a one-foot length
of spaghetti?
4. How fast can you hand-paint a tie that depicts the
discovery of silly putty?
5. How long can you expose your body to Lake Valentine?
6. How many marshmallows can you stuff in a rubber
glove?
7. How many fish can you fit in a piano?
8. How fast can you tune a' piano filled with fish?
9. How long can you convince your girlfriend that Chapel
is still being held outside?
. 10. From a prone position, how high can you throw
a tomato in a room with an eight-foot ceiling?
11. How far can you swim the backstroke with watermelons
tied to your wrists?
12. How many chestnuts can you roast over an open fire
while Jack Frost is nipping at your nose?
13. How many paper dolls can you cut out of a banana
peel?
14. How many freshmen can you stuff in a P.O.?
15. How many pounds of wax can be accumulated in
your ear in a year's time?
16. How many unbroken light bulbs can you fit in your
mouth?
17. How long can you ride a unicycle while balancing
your checkbook?
18. How many times can you double a rubber band
around a french fry?
19. / How long can you wear burlap underwear?
20. How long can you wear bowling balls for earrings?
21. How long can you grow your ears?

Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to the letter submitted to you
last week by Dan Peterson, director ,of Christian Service.
Let me say I echo Dan's feelings of excitement over the
extent to which students may become involved in various
types of Christian service.
However, I feel it needs to be pointed out that the
primary Christian service of a student at Bethel is to be
a good scholar. This is what a student has been called
to do, and we must not place service to a church on a
higher plane than Christian scholarship. Some students can
also handle involvement in the community outside of Bethel,
and this is good, too. The physical isolation of the Arden
Hills campus is seductive - we can hardly see our neighbors
much less serve them.
It must also be pointed out that Christian service can be
something other than involvement in church-related activities.
It could include visiting with older person9\ in a nursing
home, working with kids who have behavioral problems,
tutoring young Spanish-speaking children in their school classes,
befriending a teenager in difficulty with the law, and
so .on.
There are all kinds of opportunities for Christian service
in the Twin Cities area - opportunities that can be matched
to a student's individual interests and schedule. To
learn more about these opportunities, a student can see
either myself or Dan for more information.

by Mark and Craig Johnson
Greetings from two of the brethren! We hope and pray
that your summer was meaningful, and that God taught you
a lot through many varied experiences and situations. We
were especially blessed this summer by the opportunity to travel
together. Through visiting the historic sights of the Reformation
and the main cultural centers of Europe we shared
the "good news"with people we came into contact with. It
also gave us time to reflect upon our Christian experience
and specifically our time at Bethel. As we shared together,
one theme in particlar seemed to find its way into our discussion.
The theme was "living together in community."
Less than two weeks ago, we parted ways in Europe,
and reaffirmed at that time the theme for this column,
Life Together. Each of us left meditating on this particular
topic. Craig will reflect on 'community' from an outside
perspective. He is presently in Israel, living and studying
in a kibbutz (a self-sustaining farm community). The
writer of this article is a member of the Bethel community
as an active participant. From these two perspectives', we
hope to bring questions and different ideas to the surface
on this important subject, and relate them to our Bethel
experience.
A lot of our ideas are based on the book, Life Together,
by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We would highly recommend
that each person at Bethel read this relevant discussion on
Christian fellowship. It is only 122 pages, but we guarantee
that it will provoke a great deal of contemplation, and'
personal insight. \
The more we reflect on Bethel, and its place in the world,
we immediately think of what a great opportunity it is to
live, work, and exist as part of a Christian fellowship.
This unique experience of spending four years in a communal
setting, with teachers who are persons, not simply
disinterested educators, and administrators who are more
concerned with the individual than they are with numbers
or buildings makes Bethel what it is. But most of all,
I thank God for this time to grow into maturity along
with all the brethren.
We would J.ike to begin this year with the attitude of
thanksgiving for the opportunity to live in this community.
Think about the privileges we have in studying God's Word,
freely, openly, individually, or corporately. Think about the
many thousands of Christians who rarely get to interact
with a Christian brother or sister. Then, think about our
responsibility in having this freedom. Dietrich Bonhoefffer
says it so well in his book:
"It. is easily forgotten that the fellowship of Christian
brethren is a gift of grace, a gift of the Kingdom of God
that any day may be taken from us, that the time that
still separates us from utter loneliness may be brief
indeed. Therefore, let him who has the privilege of living
a common Christian life with other Christians praise
God's grace from the bottom of his heart. Let him thank
God on his knees and declare: "It is grace, nothing
but grace, that we are allowed to live in community
with Christian brethren." .

Troubled Witzgall. questions
his athletic involvement
by Steve HarriS
His tanned face tense, he clasps his
ha.nds tightly together, slowly and
thoughtfully choosing his words.
"I did what I had to do at the time.
That's all I know."
For Fred Witzgall, a Bethel senior
and a defensive captain on the football
team, and a young man who truly enjoys
the competition of athletics, his decision
"to do what he had to do" was perhaps
his toughest - before the first
game, he quit the team.
. Fred, who has since rejoined the Royals'
squad, looks back on the last month
with many questions - but faces .them
with an unusually fresh candor.
"I've had problems and doubts facing
me for the last six months. I didn't
know if God wanted me to come back
to Bethel, much less play football. I
just didn't know."
Fred did decide to come back this
fall and took part in summer football
training. But as he approached the last
intra-team scrimmage, his doubts wouldn't
go away.
"I asked God sincerely before that
scrimmage," Fred says now, "to give
me a crippling injury if He didn't want
me to play football this fall. That was
a hard thing to pray for, but I knew
it would be easier than quitting.
"On the very last play of that game,
I got knocked, in the head and pinched
a nerve in my neck. It wasn't enough
to keep me out for the year, but it
did confuse me. Was this 'the sign I
had asked for?"
The fact that this inner turmoil was
real in Fred's life is without question.
Some may doubt his sincerity" Those
who know Fred do not.
"I struggled through this
thing and it cut deep into
me ... "
"I struggled through this thing, and
it cut deep into me. I've played football
for ten years. But now I didn't
have a peace about playing, I just wasn't
sure if it was what God wanted me
to be doing."
four
Was this an ethical, "should Christians
play footballl?" question?
"No, it had nothing to do with that,"
he says assuredly, "It has been great at
Bethel playing on Christian teams and
it had nothing to do with the coaches.
Chub is a man who's got his priorities
straight. He's worked miracles with
Bethel's football program.
"Like I said, I just didn't have a
peace about playing. Have you ever
been involved in something and you
weren't sure if God wanted you there?
If you have, then maybe you.. know what
it was like for me."
liMy teammate's and coaches treated
me iust great.1I
With the decision to quit came the
prospect of facing a team that perhaps
didn't understand his actions, and a
coaching staff that was predictably
shocked.
"My teammates and coaches treated
me just great. They knew this was a
critical time emotionally for me, and
they stood by me and prayed for me.
A lot of the guys disagreed with my
decision, but they stuck by me. Some
of my friends knew I was thinking of
packing up and heading home (Wichita
Falls, Texas) but they encouraged me
to stay here at Bethel even if I wasn't
going to play football."
Fred's decision to quit football was
understandably painful. He talks of one
of the hardest times, sitting in the stands
at the Macalester game, for the first
time in his life watching a game he
should have been playing.
"I sat in the crowd and I couldn't
stand it. I had a tremendous desire
to be down on the field. I saw those
guys out there giving their best, and
I wasn't there. I felt like running in
at halftime and dressing down, but I
knew I couldn't."
The following night the phone rang
in K-3, Fred's townhouse. It was his
father.
"My dad had beeh real disappointed
that I wasn't playing ball, and he told
me to get back in there. 1. knew then
that was where I wanted to be, ' and
I took it as a sign from God to go
back. I went to Chub the next day
, and got into practice."
With that now behind him, a season
of football lies ahead.
"'I'm excited about the games left,"
his voice brightening, "this is the best
Bethel team by far that I've ~ver been
"on. And we've got a real spiritual cohesiveness;
we're out there to glorify
God. Most of all, I'll be out there the
rest of the way doing my best to do
two things, First, I want to glorify God,
, and second, I want to make the first
part of the season up to my team."
Even with that determination, some
of the questions remain in Fred's mind.
"I still feel the doubts, sure," he
admits, "but then I wonder, would God
take away one of the things I enjoy
most and leave me feeling miserable?
I know how I felt watching the team
play, and believe me, that was miserable.
Perhaps all of this was God asking
me to show Him what was most important
in my life."
Briggs io,ins
dra:ma staff
by Doug Horst
There's a new personality gracing Bethel's
Drama department; Doug Briggs.
Briggs has come to fill Dale Rott's p0-
sition while on sabbatical.
Briggs is a Californian by birth and
took most of his schooling there. He
received his B.A. and M.A. from San
Francisco State University. He did some
advanced work at Northwestern, Illinois.
After his work at Northwestern he returned
to San Francisco State to teach and
continued there 5 years from whence
he went to California State for another
five years, thus coming to Bethel with
a sizeable amount of teaching experience.
His specialty is children's drama.
Not only an experienced teacher,
Briggs is also an experienced director.
He has recently directed such notables
as "Oliver" and "Three Penny Opera,"
both with success.
, Doug Briggs
In his teaching experience, Briggs sees
a need for a disciplined approach to
drama by students. Though recognizing
that acting is creative and spontaneous,
a good deal of discipline is needed to
tonJ students' acting abilities. In a word
of advice to future drama students,
drama should be 'approached in seriousness,
preparing for a good deal of
discipline. .
Briggs is new to a Christian environment
for drama. He believes this environment
will give him an opportunity
to develop a new perspective on drama.
He also sees a difference in teaching
· .t
Christian Drama. A Christian should
present a Christian statement of belief
or look a t a situa tion from a Chris tian
vantage point, he feels. He is also
interested to see the differences in cast
relations in this year's productions. Casts,
spend so much time together that problems,
and often serious ones, develop.
Briggs wishes to see what Christian sur- •
roundings will do for this area. '
One of Briggs' anxieties, common to
any collegian play director, is student
involvement in the fall production of
"The Diary of Anne Frank." This play
will be an interesting one to apply some
of his theories on Christian theatre.
Briggs feels that drama, es-pecially
Christian drama, can have a
great deal of influence on the daily
life, citing examples in the modern street
productions done by such groups as the'
Lamb Players.
Briggs feels professional theatre is in
a static state, yet this art is waiting
for a change, and once again showing
the need of Christian influence, he feels
a Christian motif could very wen be
the theme of a new professional dramatic
movement.
SMP: Jive
/e:arn, give
and receive
Summertime often brings new experiences
to Bethel students. The opportunities
for student involvement in fulfilling
and worthy ptojects are tremendous. Rewarding
service to God and man as well
as personal development are advantages
thq,t A. summer vacation can offer.
This past summer, a group of Bethel
students were engaged in such a venture.
The Bethel community supported
27 of its members in the Summer Mis-sionary
Project. ,
The' SMP participants l~ved and served
in a ' variety of circumstances. They
worked in cities. and villages, camps
and churches, and clubs and Bible
schools. They led Bible, studies and operated
kids' clubs, visited and shared with
the people they were sent to, and shared
the ,love of Chris,t through ac~ive witness.
Many of the SMPers indicated that
their summer had' been a most significant
time in their lives. Some of them
left the confines of middle-class society
and entered a new and unfa.rniliar culture.
Several expressed their feelings
of inadequacy and their desperate need
for dependence on God. Others said that
their summ~r had been .exciting and
enlightening. However, their feelings and
reactions can be best described by the
students' themselves.
Larry Caldwell, Debbie Donnley, and
Earleen Petersen were assigned to AIherta,
Canada. Larry, Debbie, and Earleen
spent their time of service in several
different ways. They worked as counselors
in camps, operated 5-Day Clubs,
and assisted in church planting.
Of his many experiences, Larry cited
one in particular. He was a counselor
at a Bible camp for 12-14 year old
boys. He had been discouraged most
of the week because he didn't seem
to be getting much response from any
of his campers. On the last day, one
of the campers who had been the hardest
to deal with, asked Jesus Christ
into his life.
"When we feel we are doing nothing,
the Holy Spirit is doing it all," says
Larry.
Bruce Dahlman had quite a different
experience than did the Alberta group.
Bruce went to work with Arctic Missions
in Alaska. Bruce worked in a
variety of ways. He helped in the construction
of a mission headquarters building
worked in a bush camp for Indian
children, and lived with the people in
the village of Grayling.
Bruce said that he and another missionary
were primarily concerned with,
" ... showing the people Christian love
in action. We wanted to show them
love in service. What you say to them
is of little consequence, they've been
bombarded by every religion. We wanted
to show . them love is service, like helping
them collect and cut their wood,
and helping them where they need it."
Bruce indicated a deeper understanding
of the missionary and his mission.
These new insights will aid him in his
new role as presdent of 5MB.
"I saw some of the things ' that a
missionary has to face up to. You'll
never know what a mission field is
until you've been there. There is a difference
between knowing and seeing a

On Tuesday evening, Septemb~r 10, the
College RepUblicans held their first meeting
of the year. The purposes of the
meeting were t6 discuss the formation
of the group, political apathy at Bethel
and to plan a long-range program called
R.I'.P. (RegistratiDn, Information and

It is hoped that voters here at Bethel
will . register to vote, gain information
on all parties' candidates and
then vote knowledgably and intelligently
when they participate in any election.

person's needs, and just seeing them
on films and reading stories."
Rhonda Dye, ~udy Whittaker and John
Kramer spent their summers in inner
city New York, working in a church
on Dean Street in Brooklyn.
"This summer I learned that missionary
success doesn't necessarily mean,seeing
hundreds of souls won to the Lord,
or how many kids came to vacation
Bible school, or how many times the
Gospel was preached during the day.
Success to us meant doing with our
time what we knew the Lord wanted
us to do - spending time with the
kids who came to our day-camp Bible
school we held in the church, sharing
with them the Christian faith," said
Rhonda.
She was able to have daily contact
with several children who were interested
in the Gospel message and witness
to them in a way she felt managed
to get across.
"One afternoon a small black boy came
up to me and told me he had learned
a lot that day," Rhonda remarked. "1
learned about the black Jesus who did
magic for people,' he told me. That
day the message got through to him"
John Er:ickson, Lea Bondhus and Tom
Hainlen spent their summer in Massachusettes.
They were engaged in many
different types of church work. They
assisted the pastor and lay people by
working with the youth group, working
at camps, helping out with Vacation
Bible School, leading Bible studies and
conducting 5-Day Clubs. They even
helped a youth group build a Fourth
of July parade float.
John said, "1 learned a lot about
church work in general. It's not always
a joy being a Pastor. He is often a
lonely person and needs a lot of help."
Ann Johnson spent her summer on
an Indian reservation in British Columbia,
Canada. She lived on the reservation
in the home of two new Christians.
She reports having spent her time by,
"just living and helping them out wherever
they needed it." She and another
missionary from the North American
Indian mission aided the people by bringing
them into the town for shopping,
taking them to the hospital, taking the
children swimming and camping, in addition
to leading Bible studies and conducting
kids' camps.
Ann noted the beautiful simplicity of
the faith that the Christian Indians possessed.
She says that it was particular-

Other SMP participants were Denise

to Spearhead, Mexico. Anita Larson also

Having been at school for two weeks
now you may be wondering who that
crazy duo is who have been trying so
persuasively to con you out of $12 of
your precious dwindling funds for a Student
Activity Card. By way of brief
introductions, we, Dave Mortensen and
Shirley Van Wambeke, are your Campus
Coordinators for the year in charge of
social and cultural activities' for our
campus. In order that we might get
to know each other better, let me get
a bit autobiographical.
Shirley, also known as "Six-footer/'
"Squirrel," or "Crazy Shirl," has been inl.
volved in an impressive number of unannounced
devious visits to Edgren in
her years at Bethel. ,Her outstanding
characteristics are her height (5' 12")
and her shoe size (eleven!) Some of
her more meritorious achievements since
coming' to Bethel include devouring 13
lh pancakes at an Uncle John's Friday
night special, and b~ing the only girl
to use up all of her food coupons. Shirley
set an all time record by not finding
the library until her sophomore year.
, Dave, known to most as "Mort," is
that rather shy, introverted guy frequently
seen limping around the halls following
a Bethel soccer game. Having just

writing a book entitled "Ways
to Stretch Hamburger Helper" - or -
"Oodles of Noodles." He is best known
for his active dating life here at Bethel
and his ability to become obsolete
around Nik Dag.
Some commoniy held myths about our
job:
1. We discourage dating.
2. The money from S.A.C. is paying
Mort's rent.
3. Shirley is Bethel's most uncoordinated
coordinator.
4. Guys only take out girls with S.A.C.
cards.
Some profound and basic principles
on which our office is founded:
1. We want you to have fun and
to become involved socially here at Bethel.
Any suggestions for acti~ties, etc.,
that you might have we want to know
about.
2. We need your involvement! We
need people to sell tickets, paint flats,
make posters, serve on committees, help
with activities, etc. If you want to help
please come see us. Especially you new
Frosh and transfers.
3. We can't do it alone! We need
your prayers, support, suggestions, enthusiasm,
and participation.
We feel that the joy that God has
given us through the freedom of salvation
is reflected in all areas of our
lives. God intended for us to really
live, to have fun and laugh and just
really enjoy the good times we can
have with each other. May we just really
grow together as a student body this
year to the honor and glory of God
in all that we do.

Bethelites Span
the globe in '74
by Bruce Larson
This summer most Bethelites scattered
themselves all over the globe to encounter
a summer of vacation experiences.
The Bethel students in SPAN (Student
Project for Amity Among Nations) were
no exception.
Wendell Lepke and Gary Wright made
their way to Czechoslovakia, Gary Hegarty
and Bruce Larson 'truked' out to
Truk, Micronesia, and Deb Neufeld tra ..
veled as far as Japan to carry out
her SPAN project.
This is the whole purpose of SPAN:
to allow students from Bethel to receive
college credit (over three Bethel coursecredits),
financial aid (SPAN has many
scholarships and loans), and a mind ..
expanding experience which is an independent
study of your choice.
This year SPAN is sending groups
to South India, the Philippines, Liberia
and Costa Rica. There is still time to
get your application in for any of these
summer '75 SPAN experiences. See Dr.
Dalton, SPAN adviser.
Bethel sports are
for women, too
A whole gymful of activities await
Bethel girls this fall, and the time to
get involved is now, according to Tricia
Brownlee, Physical Education instructor.
On the intercollegiate level, volleyball,
basketball, softball, and track-and-field
will be offered. Brownlee and Shirley
Dawson will be coaching these teams. All
major teams sported winning records
last season, including a 9-0 hoop tally,
and this year should produce more of
the same. Volleyball begins practice on
September 16 at 4 p.m.
For those athletes who want to compete
on the intramural scene, competition
abounds there as well. The fall
schedule includes: a co-ed canoe trip,
flag football, paddleball singles, paddleball
doubles, and volleyball.
"Intramural and intercollegiate co-ed
sports are a vauable experience," says
Brownlee, "and we encourage everyone
to get involved. It really helps build
a sense of community spirit."
Tuesday evenings will be "open gym"
night for women students, with facilities
and equipment available to all.
Any and all girls who are interested
in playing any of these sports, contact
the P.E. office as soon as possible.

Roya'ls bump
Milton, fo'ce
Luther tomorrow
by Curtis Kregness
Seeking to establish a winning momentum
going into their conference season,
the Bethel Gridmen travel to New Ulm
tomorrow to face Dr. Martin Luther
College at 1 :30 p.m.
Charles Reynolds, Royals' head coach,
described Martin Luther's team as "versatile,
running from multiple offensive
formations, but not too tough defensively."
He said that t!te Royals can expect
a strong ground attack, including several
versions of a favorite reverse play.
The Royals will be looking for their
second victory, after slipping past the
Milton College Wildcats 8-7 Saturday.
Bethel was clearly outplayed for the
entire game, as the statistics demonstrate.
After a sloppy and scoreless first
half, the Wildcats had rushed for 117
yards to the Royals' 52, amassing 11
first downs while Bethel collected three'.
A Royals' fumble on the opening
second-half kickoff allowed Milton to
march 45 yards in · less than three min·
utes to post a 7-0 lead. ; But midway
through the fourth quarter, wide receiver
Kim Walker snagged a John Holine
pass deep in Bethel territory, and sped
80 yards down the sideline for a touchdown.
Seconds later, the dazed Wildcats
watched again as Holine completed a

two-point conversion attempt to Danny
Peterson, putting Bethel ahead 8-7.
Mqrk Rapinchuk, halfback, led the
Royals' rushing attack with 44 yards
in 12 carries. Rapinchuk is a freshman
from Oak Forest, Illinois. Reynolds has
been delighted with his performance thus
far, and commented that his main assets
are strength and good balance.
Another promising new player on the
RQyals' roster is Bruce Kai Hoi, a junior
transfer from Willmar State Junior
College. At strong defensive safety, Kai
Hoi has proved himself to be an alert
player. He intercepted a key Macalester
pass in Bethel's first game of the season.
Steve Hage has been sidelined for
about three weeks as he recovers from
an appendectomy. Hage will be replaced
in his job as holder on field goal and
conversion attempts by Dale Witherington.
Larry Rocholl, out with stretched ligaments
in his left knee, will most likely
be ready to play against Concordia
College September 28, the Royals' first
conference contest of the season.

Soccer team
finds stiff
com petition
by Bruce Olsen
The hqpeful soccer team encountered
a minor setback last week by losing
two consecutive games to stiff competition.
On Monday, the team was beaten
by Augsburg, 3-0, and again by St. John's
on Wednesday by a score of 4-0.
The poor weather was one drawback
in the struggle. The team had trouble
handling the slippery ball and playing
the bad bounces.
The tough competition was another
factor. "They are two fantastic teams,"
said Steve Jergenson, captain of the
soccer team. "Augsburg played in national
competition last year. And St. John's
this year isn't the St. John's of last
year. The school recruited all over the
state and gave soccer scholarships. They
are both very fine teams."
"We have the personnel, though," Steve
continued. "Even though we lost many
of our players from last year, the new
guys really have talent."
Penalties are another reason for the
setback that Bethel has suffered. A penalty
results in a free kick by the opposing
team at our goal. In both games
last week, Bethel committed the same
foul of making hand contact with the
ball, which resulted . in a penalty shot.
Several of these penalty shots produced
goals for the other team.
The spirit of the team hasn't lessened
because of the two losses. "Steve Voth
is a fantastic coach, " Steve Jergenson
said. "We're in condition. We Justrieed
to work together more-complementing
each other as a team. Every day we'
look better. It will come."
