., ■_: -___ Interview with George Brushaber; Page 9; —-—---1— = Bethel College oN Vol. 68, No. 11; April 16,1993= Assault Is Out of Bethel Securities' Hands by Anne Bottazzi News Editor On Monday evening, March 29, a female resident at Fountain Terrace was assaulted in the South parking lot of the housing complex. New Brighton police reported that the girl was initially grabbed by the arm, but she pulled away and remained unharmed with no further attack from the man. Bethel Director of Security and Safety, Tim Knutsen, assumes the attacker is from off-campus, and that this is an isolated event at Fountain Terrace. Knutsen stated that nothing like this attack has happened at Bethel in the last four years. There has been misleading information concerning this attack, with rumors being spread about the man's whereabouts and his exact description. Knutsen views the attacker's description as "generic-looking." His overall appearance, especially height and weight has been misquoted in most announcements sent to the community. The New Brighten Police Department is still investigating the event. The police department, not Bethel, handles cases like this since the attacker is assumed to be a non-Bethel student. Although Knutsen has called the department twice with additional information from students, he has reported that the phone calls have not been returned from the station. After the assault occurred, Bethel Security increased the patrol route to Fountain Terrace and held a seminar focusing on safety guidelines. Knutsen has also put together an assault prevention booklet which will probably come out next year and focuses on a comprehensive list of safety tips and the typical mindset of an attacker. The following is a short list of a few of the safety guidelines: Tips To Increase Safety In Your Car In Your Dorm 1.) Park In a Well Lighted Area At Night. 2.) Walk To Your Vehicle With Keys Ready 3.) Check The Back Seat Before Entering 4.) While Driving, Keep The Doors Locked So That No-One Can Jump In At A Red Light 5.) If You Are Followed By Another Car, Drive To A Police Station, Or A Business With Lights And Get Help. I.) If You Are Going Out, Tell Someone When You Will Return. 2.) Don't walk Alone At Night; Take A Friend. 3.) Never Prop Open Dorm Doors. This Leaves The Entrance Open To Anyone Walking By. 4.) Never Leave Valuables Visible From The Door Or Window 5.) Never Carry Large Sums Of Money. Asian Culture Celebrated At Bethel by Chris Nepple Contributing Writer There are over 50 Asian-American students at Bethel, representing as many as seven different countries. Yet, how many of us really know anything about these cultures, outside of taking an Asian Civilization course? The week of April 12-17 marks the first time that Bethel will celebrate an Asian-American Emphasis Week. Asian Christian Fellowship President, Christopher Heng, believes that the emphasis will give Bethel a "good opportunity to get to know the different Asian cultures that are represented here at Bethel." The idea for Asian-American Emphasis Week came from both the Asian Christian Fellowship group and Multi- Cultural Student AdvisorCarol Chang. Chang said that there were two purposes: 'To promote cultural diversity and to help the Bethel community come to an understanding of the Asian culture as a whole." Developing that idea further, Chang stated that "only through that understanding can we really appreciate other cultures." She further states that we need to appreciate the students not only for being unique, but for what they can offer us as well. Chang hopes that all of the Bethel community will recognize that "although we may come from different countries, speak different languages, and have different colored skin, we are still one because we are all Christians and we make up one body. The differences between us shouldn 't cause divisions, but rather celebration." The week will include three special chapels and will conclude with an Asian concert over at the Bethel Seminary Chapel on Saturday, April 17. It all begins on Monday, April 12, with Pastor Sunny Kang speaking in chapel. Kang is the pastor of the Korean Presbyterian Church of the Twin Cities—and, in fact, is a graduate of Bethel's Seminary. Wednesday, April 14, will feature the internation ally acclaimed evangelist Dr. Ajith- Fernando. Fernando is the National Director of Youth for Christ in Sri Lanka. Dr. John Piper, Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, has said of Fernando that "there is no third world spokesman for God I would rather hear. I have never met a better combination of faithful expression, radical application, and authentic demonstration." On Thursday, April 15, The Reverend Chao Thao, from the 500 member St. Paul Hmong Alliance Church, will round out the week. The Asian concert will be held in the Bethel Seminary Chapel. Performers will include the Asian Christian Fellowship of Bethel, the Twin Cities Chinese Christian Church, and members of the Chinese, Hmong and Cambodian communities. Chang is expecting a "very good concert" and encourages all to come. Asian-American Emphasis Week was able to receive some support from the McKnight Achieving Cultural Diversity Grant which was given to Bethel in the Spring of 1991. Money requested from the grant supports the goal for Asian-American Emphasis Week to contribute to "the building of a pervasive institutional culture which embraces cultural and racial diversity leading to an enhancement of community life through faculty/staff awareness and student development programs." Asian-American Emphasis Week may only be in it's first year, but it's something Chang and the rest of the Multicultural Department hope can become an annual event. That can only happen through students support. With the successes of African- American Emphasis Week, Reflections, and other cultural events that have happened earlier this year, everyone concerned seems optimistic about the future and believes that this is just the beginning of a long tradition.
