The Clarion VOL. 62 NO. 10 ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 23 JANUARY 1987 Bodien computer facility to be finished in May by Lynn Gunnarson Plans are nearly complete for a building addition to Bodien Residence Hall that will house 20 computer terminals and three printers. According to Associate Professor of Math and Director of the Academic Computer Center, Bill Doyle, the new building will be open 24 hours a day. The addition, on the south side of Bodien (by the tennis courts), will be completed by this May and ready for use next Fall. "This will take computing to students on their own turf and make computer access more convenient." said Doyle. Physi cal Plant Director Jim Woods said, "It's the same as taking books home to do schoolwork." Because the facilities will be open 24 hours a day, Bethel's present computer resources will be expanded. "Students have various learning styles," Doyle said. "I guess some study better at three a.m. so this will be an advantage to them." "Computing is not just the domaine of computer 'jocks' anymore," Doyle said. "It's the domain of everybody and is an indispensible tool for the truly liberally educated." Students who live in Bodien will be able to use their regular dorm key to gain entrance to Regents give report set 1988 framework by D. Michael Ball The Presidential Review Committee of the Board of Regents will give a report and recommendation next Friday to the Regents based on its evaluation of George Brushab- er's first five years as president of Bethel College. Based on the Committee's recommendation and report, the Board will either reinstate Brushaber for another five year term or chose a new president. According to Committee member Beverly Thompson, a former regent, the committee was chosen by the Regents last September. It is made up of regents Gordon Lindquist, chairman, Warren Eastlund, and former regents Leith Anderson, John F. Anderson, and Thompson. "We looked into his job description and goals which he had set up," Thompson said. The Committee also interviewed various student and faculty leaders. From the interview results they drafted a questionaire which asked about four different areas: the president's academic leadership, his administrative leadership, internal relations, and external relations. Of the 1000 questionaires sent out to different people who have had contact with the College and-Seminary, Thompson says 700 were returned. Next Friday's report to the Regents will be the sum of the 700 returned questionaires. Brushaber himself emphasized the purpose of the review. "It's less a report card of the past than a determination of the type of leadership Bethel needs," he said. Chairman Lindquist agrees. "The evaluation is not to determine whether he will be hired or fired, but (to determine) what kind of leadership he has provided in the past and what kind of leadership he has to offer in the future." Committee member Warren Eastlund feels the focus of the review is on the future. "His visions for the future will have an impact," he said. Brushaber's chances of being replaced look slim, according to College Faculty Moderator Mike Holmes. "I have a feeling the Regents are pleased with his performance. I don't think there will be a turnover." Committee members would not comment on the committee's recommendation, but Eastlund said, "I will be surprised if they don't follow the committee's report. If the report is credible they will listen to it." Gordon MacDonald, president of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, will speak at Founder's Week. Story on page 8.

Dean Jessup reported to the faculty on various items of faculty news, including an announcement that both Carl Rasmussen and Art Lewis of the Biblical Studies department had received grants for study in Israel. Jessup also informed the faculty of the condition of Bonnie Hanson, a junior art education major who was seriously injured in a car accident over Christmas break. At the time of the meeting she was still in a coma and in intensive care. She has shown some responsiveness, and because there there had been no indication yet of brain damage, there is still hope for a full recovery. Presently at Unity Hospital, she can have no visitors. A motion was made that the Sexual Harassment Policy proposal be adopted, as had been written up and presented in the fall. A recommendation was made to add a statement addressing the repurcussions involved for accusations which prove to be unfounded. It was agreed that action would be taken on that issue, and then the policy was passed unanimously by the faculty. Dean Ebner recommended that Lynn Hummel, a senior nursing student who died in a car accident last October, be added to the list of May '87 graduates, and be given a posthumous degree. The proposal was passed unanimously by the faculty. Faculty moderator Mike Holmes reported from the executive committee that the Presi dent and Vice presidents had proposed the implementation of a salary compensation structure. This would set a defined salary scale for faculty based on their education and experience. Holmes said in a later interview that this is basically how the salary system works now, but that a defined structure would eliminate some of the present uncertainty.

He goes on to say "Our donors plan to pay. They continue to give each year, faithfully." Nearly eight million dollars of the 25 will be dedicated to facilities. One million dollars of that will go to Bethel West in San Diego. The rest will go towards the "Campus Community Relations Complex," as it is now generically termed. This complex will probably be constructed in three phases, Bragg says. Top priority in this project is a new chapel. Faculty, see p. 2 Vision Grows, see p. 3
