. - by Susan Resch In spite of a life-style statement banning the use of alcohol, the Bethel community still participates in Alcohol Awareness Week, a program that takes place nationwide. "It's a recognition that no law stifles the problems related to what the law prohibits," said Bob Duffett, Dean of Christian faith and life. "You always recognize the ideals we strive for, but no one can fulfill al! those ideals." George Brushaber, president of Bethel College, agrees that a problem exists. "We cannot hide from a problem," he said. "By making it a topic of conversation and study we hope to provide support for those suffering, strengthen the commitment of abstinence, and provide guidance for those involved."

The annual Parents Weekend begins at Bethel today and continues through the weekend with several scheduled activities beginning with a free movie in Robertson Center and concluding on Sunday with a community worship. The purpose of having Parents Weekend every year is to "invite the parents on to campus, to spend time with their son or daughter and iearn more about education at Bethel while experiencing the life of their son or daughter," said Nancy Owzarek, director of alumni and parent services. Ann Ecklund, a sophomore attending Bethel, felt the weekend was for "parents to become more aware of exactly what Bethel has to offer their kids and a way to be in their children's environment." When asked if she is planning on attending the events, Ecklund said, "I really don't know what is planned for the weekend. I haven't really heard of anything, which is weird because it's this weekend. I wish it since I came to Bethel it hasn't really changed," said a sophomore girl, Elsie (not her real name). Elsie said that about 90 percent of her friends drink alcohol. The social aspect of drinking is also a reason. "As a social activity it's fun," said Betty (not her real name). "Ir gets rid of inhibitions and is fun to do with your friends." The effectiveness of AAW at Bethel is questionable to some students. "It depends on the approach taken whether it affects students," Elsie said. "Christian speakers who have experienced it themselves are more effective." But of course those who use alcohol must attend these events for any kind of change to take place through Alcohol Awareness Week. "It's hard to know {how effeective it is) because a lot of problems are kept secret and it's not really open," said Gretchen Shaus, junior. But by recognizing the problem and being open about it, AAW is thought to be effective. "1 think it brings problems out in the open and brings more awareness," said Schaus. Jim Koch, associate professor of psychology, agrees. "I think it opens up the dialogue and allows people to come out of the closet about the habit," he said. "It makes an atmosphere where you can talk about it. It is good to be aware of alcohol and its effects not just in our community, but those places we come from and are going to." Duffett said that Bethel wants to expose the students to what they are getting into and how to get out of it. Along with AAW, counseling services are provided at Bethel. According to Koch, these support groups work with those who are recovering from chemical de- pendancy, those on the borderline of becoming chemically dependent, and those who use it occasionally to "help cope," but are not addicted yet.

Owzarek, who is new this year, has been carefully planning this weekend with the help of the parent's committee and other administrators. "The weekend will include the same format as the years before and we are careful not to overprogram in order for the kids to spend time with their parents and go shopping or something," Owzarek explained. A highlight of the weekend features entertainment by Richard K. Allison in "Anybody Home" at the Parent/Student Banquet. The evening show consists of sketches and songs, along with comedy and drama. Owzarek is especially excited about the musical drama because "it is specifically designed for parent/child viewing in that it deals with the parent/ student relationship," she said. Eight hundred parents are expected for the weekend filled with events starting tonight with a movie followed by a pizza party. Tomorrow begins with an 8:30 breakfast, seminars, and the football game and ends with the Parent/Student Banquet. The weekend concludes on Sunday morning with a community worship.
