The 2.2 million dollar expansion of the Robertson Center is
underway. The expansion will
be on the south side of the
Robertson PE Building. It will
give the college an additional
22,000 square feet of classrooms offices and an athletic
training room.
The first floor of the addition
will be level to the second floor
of the academic complex.
Therefore the first floor will be
referred to as the second floor,
etc. On the second floor there
will be three classrooms that
will seat 75 students and be di-
vidable into six classrooms, an
athletic training room, faculty
offices, and Bethel Security offices. The third floor will house
offices for Financial Aid, Admissions, Public Relations, Human Resources, and the Center
for Continuing Studies. New
social work department facilities, faculty and staff offices, a
seminar room, and four more
classrooms that will seat 75 students will be located on the
fourth floor. Three of the four
classes on the forth floor will be
dividable.
As a result of the new office
space that is being built, offices
that are presently scattered
throughout the campus will relocate into the space vacated by
offices that will be moving into
the addition. The Campus Ministries and International Studies
offices will move to the Admissions offices. The Education
Department offices will move
into the Campus Ministries office as well as retaining the of
fice space they currently ocupy.
The Academic Enrichment and
Support Center, will move into

Live at Bethel College: the
Fighting Irish vs. the kilted
Scotsmen of Glasgow. Unfortunately it isn't true, but there are
a couple new members of the
Bethel faculty that have
spanned the globe to bring the
experience of the Scottish and
the Irish to a classroom near
you.
The well-traveled Dr. Jufia
Abbott Janeway is a new member of the Bethel English Department as an Assistant Profes-
sor. Having graduated from
Bethel College, Janeway went
on to gain her Masters degree
in Scottish Literature at the
University of Glasgow, Scotland. She then attained her
Ph.D. in Fiction Writing from
the University of Denver, Colorado. Janeway is married to
photographer Augustus
Janeway. The two have a dog
named Fairnytickle (Old Scots
for freckle).
Janeway says she is, "excited to be here." She is also
excited to join the ranks of the
well published Bethel English

The lights are up, the cameras connected and the action
is soon to be seen. The Communication Department's studio was officially opened and
dedicated on Saturday, October
7. Among those in attendance
were alumni, students, faculty
and administration.
The studio,
located in HC    i
301  next to
the Library,
has been under construction      since
February 23
of this year.
It's completion has been
long awaited.
"When   this
classroom
was built in
the       early
1970's the intent was to make it a studio.
Seeing this occur is a dream
come true," said Leta Frazier,
chair of the Communication
Department.
The studio and control room
have come at a time when there
is a great need. "This facility
enables us to teach audio and
video techniques and aesthetics on-campus for the first
time," said Kathy Bruner. "We
have been teaching at Cable
Access facilities in Blaine, Columbia Heights and Roseville
for more than eight years."
The new studio has already
drawn new students. The number of communication majors
last year at this time was 78 —
this year there are 127. Frazier
said she was "floored" when she
found out. But growth of communications majors means
growth of facilities. Though the
studio is well-equipped, Bruner
expects the department to grow
out of it within three to four
years.
Despite the growth, the
communication department has
a strong commitment to keeping the two majors (speech

tion and media communication) intertwined.
The studio
and control
room isn't
just for technical junkies. According to
Bruner,
studying this
field will
change the
way students
look at all areas associated with
communication. "I want people
to know that we're not just
cranking out camera operators,"
Bruner said. "This is a part of a
well rounded education."
What does all this mean to
people who aren't communications majors? There are many
ways for students to get involved. Later in the semester
there will be opportunities for
people to sign up and watch live
student productions. There is
also a need for people to be in
the productions as on-camera
talent. If none of these options
sound thrilling, students can always take the class. Who
knows, they might discover
hidden talent.
A Clarion  survey shows that 90% of Bethel students
