the Clorion vol. 60 no. 3 3900 belhel drive saint paul, minnesora 55112 September 26, 1984 Alumni director Curt Fauth leaves Bethel by Karen J. Anderson The man known as "Mr. Bethel," Curt Fauth, alumni director, leaves October 1 for Whittier, California to become associate minister of Christian education at Whittier Area Baptist Fellowship. "Curt is one of the best things that ever happened to Bethel alumni and we will all miss him," said Nancy Gerdin Vail, Fauth's former secretary/ assistant. "He's a people person," said Dan Wiersum, director of the annual fund, "and his capacity to remember names and faces is remarkable." Fauth counts this "uncanny ability," as he calls it, among hisgreat- est assets. Although he considers it a great gift of God, he said he works at it every day. He feels it enables him to make people feel important. Among Fauth's strengths, explains Vail, is his ability to make the present student body feel connected with alumni and vice versa. "He's a bridge builder," says Wiersum. "He serves as a catalyst for people to become involved in Bethel. He has a great gift for creating a warm, hospitable atmosphere." Both Vail and Wiersum cite Fauth's ability to recognize people as a great asset in drawing various groups together. Wiersum points out that alumni contributions to the annual fund have increased from $28,000 per year to almost $200,000 per year since Fauth has been alumni director. Fauth said he has also "shown alumni that there are services, other than financial, that they can offer." He explains that alumni have become actively involved in student recruitment and upgrading of career placement. By his "enthusiasm and drive," Fauth said he "spearheaded a more active alumni board. The board is strategic and strong, and its recommendations are Curt Fauth, Bethel's "people person.' heard and being implemented." In pondering his years of service here, Fauth states, "We've put Bethel alumni on the map. We've seen wh&t'e' alumni have been and have made strides in encouraging alumni to get involved in Woodward/photo prayer support, student recruitment, career placement support, and financial support." Before Fauth came to Bethel, Vail explains, a real distance existed between the alumni and the present community. She said, "Curt was see page 5 Casts of fall shows prepare for opening night by Julie Bach Seventeen actors will mount Bethel's stage a total of 16 times this fall. Some supporters are afraid that few people will see them. That, they feel, would be a waste. Jeffrey S. Miller, instructor in theatre arts, and Meg Zauner, also an instructor in theatre arts, are both excited about the plays they are directing this fall. "I don't know how anyone could walk away not liking the play," said Miller of The Dining Room, a two-act play by A. R. Gurney, Jr. Miller's' play will be the first of the 1984-85 season. Actors now in rehearsal for The Dining Room voiced the same enthusiasm. "It's a challenging play for all of us because we get to play so many characters," said Barry Ross Rinehart, a senior theatre major. "I think it'll be fun for the audience," he added. Lorraine Sauter, the show's assistant director and stage manager, agreed. "The scenes are so different; everyone will be able to relate to something," she said. Rehearsals for The Dining Room started Friday, Sept. 7, immediately after auditions on Sept. 5 and 6. The cast will have three weeks to prepare the show before performances on Oct. 4,5,6,9,11,12, and 13. All performances are at 7:30 p.m. except the Tuesday, Oct. 9 matinee at 4 p.m. The show will run about an hour and forty-five minutes, Miller said. He chose it because it "is a subtle indictment of parts of American culture. This play shows an erosion of values," he described. He thinks the Bethel audience will identify with it. "It's truth," he said. "It creeps in from behind." The play is about human relationships. It is a series of vignettes in which the dining room figures as a symbol of interaction. Characters flow in and out of the room in stream-of-consciousness succession, leaving poignant impressions with the audience. Anyone who is interested in human interaction will enjoy the relationships created on stage. Miller and his cast feel the rehearsals are going well, and see page 4 Extra! Extra!
