BETHEL COLLEGE, ST. PAUL, MN VOL 64 NO. 14 MAY 12,1989 Spring O' Feast! by Jason Miller "Up and at 'em! Rise and shine! It's SpringFest!" howled the Ramsey County Sheriffs speaker system; before he left, our own Glenn Heinsch joined in, yelling at the top of his lungs for Bethel and all of the surrounding cities to wake up and attend. The festivities began with a parade which started at the Sports and Recreation Center and finished in Kresge Courtyard. It held a covered wagon drawn by horses and a truck with a puppet show in its bed. A unicyclist and clowns ran with the Bethel Marching Band. The body of the parade featured the king and queen of SpringFest, Princess Kay of the Milky Way, and YMCA gymnasts. At noon, the Bethel Connection took the stage and entertained the crowd with songs from their tour repertoire, including supercatifragilisticexpialidocious. Throughout the day, visitors were treated to the various stands and booths set up by both Bethel groups and outsiders. Bethel cheerleaders conducted a cake walk and awarded a cake to the person with a lucky number. Campus Ministries sponsored a car wash in the dorm circle to help finance students involved with ministry. Students aiming for summer missions held a garage sale a year in the making. The basketball team sold jerseys across from the used book sale. Games were abundant for children, and included a dunk tank, miniature golf, covered wagon rides, window painting, Make it and Take it (a homemade souvenir booth), fishing contest, a pontoon ride modeled after Huck Finn's, indoor Olympics, face painting, Jacob's Ladder, the moon walk and kid's carnival. And food! Every kind was available: hot dogs, brats, pop, popcorn, sno-cones, cotton candy, fruit kabobs (supplied by the Bethel Concert Band), mini donuts, pizza, hoagies, mozzarelia sticks, chicken nuggets...you get the picture. It is next to impossible to mention all that went on at this year's SpringFest; the overall reaction was that the festival was a lot better than last year's, even if the weather wasn't. Entertainment for the older crowd included juggler Scott Burton, mud volleyball, tug-o-war, a country fashion show, the Williams family singers and A youngster tries her hand at window painting. the Mounds View Jazz Band. Also performing were the Elim Gospel String Band, the DuckTails (singing oldies with a twist) and, at three p.m., theatre students performed a special edition of Quilters: A New Musical which made its run at the Bethel Theatre earlier this school year. The day ended with a concert in the gym: Norway singer Solvei Larsen brought her song to the SpringFest crowd for only five dollars a head. photo by Paul D. Johnson It can be said that SpringFest was a success this year. The games, entertainment and displays were top-notch and brought many people from the Arden Hills area and surrounding cities. Even the cold couldn't keep them away. This year, the only thing missing was the helicopter. More SpringFest pictures, p. 11. Johnson and Wood receive distinguished faculty awards by Julie D. Cook Faculty Excellence Awards for Distinguished Teaching and Distinguished Service were announced Wednesday, May 3. This year's recipients of the awards were Professor Jim Johnson, the Distinguished Teaching Award, and Professor Chet Wood, for the Distinguished Service Award. The Faculty Awards for Excellence were developed four years ago by the Priorities Committee, a committee designed to distinguish and deal with the priorities of the faculty. Johnson, one of this year's award recipients, and the person to first chair the Priorities Committee four years ago, said the committee had decided that one priority ought to be self-affirmation. They decided to "...take a look at our own group and the decide the best way to confirm each other.... After a lot of discussion, we decided that was needed was to make an award for excellence." The committee agreed that recognition for service was also important. "So we finally ended up with an agreement to give an award in two areas," said Johnson. Two years previous to this year's award, the two recipients of the award for Distinguished Teaching was awarded to Professor Bill Smalley and Professor Mike Roe. The award for Distinguished Service has been given to Professor Dick Peterson and Professor Don Belton. The purpose of the awards is to recognize the outstanding achievement in these areas taken to be essential to one's status as a faculty member at Bethel College. The awards are not intended to be a popularity contest. This is to be a way in which the faculty and administration honor two of the faculty each year for showing in exemplary manner those qualities we all aspire to develop. This is the goal of the Faculty Excellence Awards. "By choosing to honor our faculty and colleagues, we affirm the worth of our own calling and celebrate the way in which two of our number provide inspiring models of what faculty endeavor to be," said the introduction of the guidelines for nominations sheet. The Distinguished Teaching Award is given to a full-time faculty member who has demonstrated excellence as an educator and mentor, and, substantially exemplifies what Soren Kierkegaard identified in Christ as the paradigm for a teacher: "Teaching was his labor, and caring for the learner his rest from labor." This is the introduction to the criteria for the Distinguished Teaching Award. "The Distinguished Service Award is given to a full-time faculty member who has demonstrated outstanding service- service which is above and beyond the normal commitments to family, church, and profession expected of faculty at Bethel College—which has resulted in substantial benefit to a group or community on or off campus," says the introduction for the Distinguished Service Award. The recipients of the Award will be recognized at convocations: The Distinguished Teaching Award recipient, at the fall academic convocation; the Distinguished Service Award recipient at a convocation devoted to the theme of social justice. Professor Thomas Becknell, who serves as Chair of the Professional Develop ment Committee, is enthusiastic about the awards and feels they are necessary. "Faculty at Bethel are unusually dedicated, and often very fine work goes unrecognized for too long a time. I think its important to affirm each other individually because it contributes to the entire health and well being of the community. We all like to be surrounded by people who are doing good work. We often don't know about that work unless it is being recognized." "Because it's faculty recognizing their colleagues, it's peers affirming their peers," said Professor Elanor Edmund. In an announcement to a class about Johnson's award, Professor Don Belton said, "That's a pretty important award because there's no politicalness to it...it is in fact awarded on the basis of excellence and teaching!" Professor Becknell said that academic life is quite solitary. "Periodically acknowledging that we are a group of solitary people, but colleagues, is absolutely essential, I think."
