Ackerman, Newman, Kolpien dominate MIAC indoor Track meet BETHEL COLLEGE ST. PAUL MN VOL. 64 NO. 10 MARCH 10, 1989 Parking expansion APPROVED by Mark Bruce Ever had a hard time finding a place to park at Bethel? By next year your troubles may be over. According to Bruce Kunkel, director of Institutional Services, Bethel has received approval from necessary agencies to construct 75 new parking spaces behind the Lower East parking lot on campus, and to expand the North parking lot along Interstate 35W at the Fountain Terrace complex to accomodate 15 to 20 new spaces. According to Craig Hjelle, director of Physical Plant, Bethel has previously run into problems obtaining a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District (a regional agency that monitors storm drainage in the Rice Creek area, and solves any problems that may arise) to expand the Lower East Lot, since the construction would destroy a drainage ditch that runs through the area. The Watershed District finally approved the expansion during their last meeting on February 22. The drainage ditch will be rerouted during construction. NORTH LOT PROP03E-D EXPANSION A blueprint of the proposed parking expansion at Fountain Terrace diagrams extra parking between the apartment complex and 35W. Obtaining bids from contractors to start the construction is all that needs to be done now. Hjelle hopes to have a gravel lot by next fall and a paved lot by 1990. At Fountain Terrace both Kunkel and Hjelle were skeptical that any more parking spaces could be added because of a New Brighton city zoning ordinance. According to Emy Mattila, New Brighton City Engineer, the ordinance requires "300 feet of green area for each dwelling unit." Kunkel and Hjelle were afraid that adding a new parking lot would reduce the amount of required "green space" enough to be in violation of that ordinance. However, according to Kunkel, when the New Brighton City planner inspected the area, he said there would not be a problem. At present, Kunkel said, Bethel has only verbal approval from New Brighton to expand the lot, and must now receive official approval from the City Engineer, the City Planner, the City Paver and the Watershed District. Kunkel and Hjelle do not expect any problems obtaining permits from any of these agencies. They are now working on getting the project budgeted for next year. "We would like to have it done by fall," said Kunkel. The current plan is to extend the North parking lot to the south along 35W, behind buildings 751 and 721. Theft increase on campus steals trust by Holly Wenzel Security and faculty personnel say students who leave their belongings unattended may be inviting theft, as "casual theft" of possessions left in hallways and locker rooms escalates. Coats, bags, and books left in the school buildings as students go to class and run errands seem to be disappearing rapidly. Junior Melanie Levy lost a down jacket this way in early February. "1 left it down by the biology department, on the rack there. I went to a biology lab about 6 and came out at about five to seven, and it was gone. I was probably about 20 feet away, in a classroom, when they took it." Levy said she was aware things were being taken around Bethel. "That was the first time I'd left it anywhere." Because she left her car and house keys in a pocket, her parents had to get an extra set of keys to her and change all the locks on their home. She added that the loss still bothers her. "I walk by where it was, and I get a strange sensation—I get really angry." "Don't leave wallets and car keys and money in your jacket if you're going to leave it unprotected," warned lain Glenny, director of security who adds that theft like this seems to be rising. He has been taking reports of stolen items like Levy's, but says it's difficult to reclaim them. "I have them fill out a report for insurance purposes because sometimes people's insurance covers their possessions," he said. "I'm just there to assist people in recovering their property if possible or suggesting how they could replace things through their insurance companies." He also refers them to the police, who may have information on outside thefts. Glenny says he suspects "outside people" are behind most of the thefts. Wayne Street, security guard, says this is a reasonable assumption, having heard of "outside theft rings" here in the past. "Why would you rip off a coat?" he asked. "Ifyou wear it around campus, someone's bound to see it." Street is keeping his eyes open for a Gore-Tex jacket his mother made for him this Christmas. He says it was stolen two months later from the cafeteria during a student visit weekend. Wayne Benedick, director of security at Northwestern College, says there hasn't been any organized outside theft at Northwestern, although two alleged outsiders took a purse from an office in the school. Although he said this hadn't been a particularly bad year for theft, the potential is there. "My feeling is it's a different kind of student we're getting gradually. They've leared to lie; they've learned to steal before they came," he said, adding that thefts in housing seem to be internal problems. "This is not the place it used to be ten, fifteen years ago," said Men's Athletic Director Dave Klostreich. "This past year's been really bad." The P.E. department installed a buzzer-release lock on the varsity locker room door after Interim to guard against theft of valuable athletic shoes. Some locker padlocks were opened, apparently with a key, and other lockers were broken open. "We don't know if it's someone inside or someone outside who knows our routines," said Klostreich. "It's not just any shoe—it's a particular kind. They know when good shoes are there." He said the lock seems to have slowed theft down, and the department will consider the need for locks on the other locker rooms, which haven't been as hard-hit yet. Klostreich is concerned about the whole trend, and said weights are still disappearing from the weight room. "Lock things up, make sure your padlocks are locked, make sure that door is locked, and don't leave your keys or your money or your other possessions lying around," he said. "People have got to be more careful." Personal possessions aren't the only things disappearing, said Manager of Building Services Ardith Gardner. Of the six brass lamps purchased for $55 each last fall for the A.C. lounge, three are left. Gardner said after a request in the Bethel Bulletin didn't bring the missing lamps back, a professor suggested removing the others from the lounge until they were returned. "I know they get used a lot by students," said Gardner, "and 1 really hate to do that." She is considering fixing the remaining lamps to the floor. Also missing is the flag from the courtyard, which Gardner said was purchased to replace a flag donated to Bethel two years ago, which was also stolen.
