Coach Hunter resigns after consecutive "Sweet 16" appearances By SETH HINRICHS Sports Editor Bethel women's Athletic director and women's basketball coach. Deb Hunter, has officially resigned from both positions with the college as of- May 31st. Hunter originally planned to take a leave of absence from the two positions beginning next year, but she recently decided to turn that into a full resignation. Hunter plans to leave Bethel for the business world, heading to Austin, Texas for a year to work with a company that manufactures specialized fitness equipment. She then plans to come back to Minnesota and begin the same type of business here. Being at Bethel for the last ten years, Hunter has become a well-respected Athletic Director and the winningest coach in Bethel's history. Her women's basketball team has been one of the top Division III programs in the nation. This year the team compiled a record of 17-3 in the MIAC and advanced to the national tournament. Hunter's coaching ability has received recoginition beyond Bethel. Revered by many as one of the University of Minnesota's best women's basketball players ever. Hunter has often been mentioned as the next coach of the University of Minnesota women's basketball team. But, Hunter has said publicly that she has no interest at this time of coaching at the University, or anywhere else for now. Hunter told the St. Paul Pioneer Press, "Going division 1 is huge. It's being absolutely immersed in basketball. How do you balance a life that has to be totally devoted to basketball? It took a lot to get this program established and to get it some attention nationally. I'm sad about leaving, but I'm excited about doing something else." Hunter's character shows in her coaching. As a coach she is spirited and she is her players biggest advocate — both on and off the court. She is one of Bethel's finest coaches and will be sorely missed by Bethel's Athletic Department. Hunter is not a coach who measures her success in terms of wins and losses. How does she then? Contentment, according to Hunter, is to be measured elsewhere. "I'm a firm believer," she told the 5/. Paul Pioneer Press, "that winning doesn't breed contentment. I've always been one to chase dreams. I'd like to see if I'm good at something else. It's not a Bethel issue. It's not a burnout issue. It's a me issue. I don't want to wake up somewhere down the line and worry that I've missed something." Prayer at Texas Christian student to live off campus flagpole continues By ASSOCIATED PRESS CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas— The Corpus Christi Independent School District has agreed to stipulate on record that campus prayer gatherings known as "See You at the Pole" events won't be disrupted, the school district attorney says. Under a partial settlement of a 1993 federal lawsuit over district policies regarding student gatherings, the district also agreed to ^^^^^^^^^ pay 17 students and their parents $6,000, lawyer Shirley Selz said. After a 1992 incident that prompted the suit, the prayer events have been ^^^^^^^^ held on Corpus Christi campuses for the past three years without incident, Ms. Selz said. The Rutherford Institute, a Charlottesville, Va., civil liberties group that specializes in defending religious freedom, said the settlement was a warning to other schools. "Government attempts at intimidation or interference with the students' prayers will not be tolerated," said Kelly Shackelford, a spokesman for the group's Dallas branch. The settlement, does not include any significant change in school policy, Ms. Selz said. "Government attempts at intimidation or interference... will not be tolerated." "It was really just an effort to come to some agreement," she said. "Saying that we agreed to it in court was not anything different from what we were doing anyway." The Rutherford Institute filed the lawsuit on behalf of the students and parents in 1993, several months after students at Moody and King high schools and Browne Middle School gathered at campus flagpoles to ^^^^^^^^^ participate in ™ t h e nationwide prayer vigil. Ms. Selz said school administrators broke up the gatherings because the students failed to seek proper ' permission. A school district policy says students must seek permission before any on-campus gathering, regardless of whether it concerns religion, she added. "If they'd gone through the proper process, there wouldn't have been any problem in the first place," she said. But the students and their parents complained that the district was violating their civil rights. Two months after the flagpole incident, the district changed its policy to say that groups need only notify the school principal before gatherings. By COLLEGE PRESS KEARNEY, Neb.—A devout Christian student at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will be allowed to live off campus despite a rule that requires most freshman to live in the dorms. A federal judge has ailed in favor of Douglas Rader, aUNK freshman, who had sued to live off campus because of his religious beliefs. . Before classes started at the UNK last fall, Rader asked to be excused from a university rule that says all freshman under 19 must live on-campus. "The obnoxious alcohol parties in the dormitories, the immoral atmosphere and the intolerance towards those who profess to be Christians would severely hinder my free exercise of religion and are a definite hardship for me." Rader wrote in a petition to the university. The university admitted that up to eight alcohol violations occur each week on its dry campus, and that all residence halls have condom machines. But when the university refused to grant his request to live in the off campus Christian Student Fellowship house, Rader sued. U.S. District Court Judge David Piester ruled April 5 that the UNK cannot force students to live on campus if doing so would conflict with their religious beliefs. Piester said the university had violated the First Amendment by "selectively" allowing only certain groups of freshman to be exempt from the rule. Of approximately 2,500 full-time freshman attending classes, 1,600 reside on campus and 900 freshman live off, Piester noted. Among those excused are freshman who are married, or are 19 years of age or older, or who are commuting from a home that is more than 20 miles away. "When administrators refuse to consider an entire class of individuals, freshman students who desire to live at (Christian Student Fellowship house) based upon their faith ... I am unable to conclude that the rule is being enforced in a neutral manner," Piester wrote. The university had defended its policy in court by arguing that requiring freshman to live on campus "fosters diversity, promotes tolerance, increases 'the level of academic achievement, and improves the graduation rate." The university's chancellor, Gladys Styles Johnston, had said that requests for exceptions based upon religious beliefs— such as Rader's—are not considered extenuating circumstances and should not be granted. Students who do not wish to live in the dorms for religious reasons should not attend UNK, Johnston had said. Rader's attorney, Jefferson Downing, told reporters that the decision would have "some national influence" because it is the first successful challenge of an on-campus residency requirement to which a student objected for religious reasons. Rader, who soon will complete his freshman year, has been allowed to live in the Christian Student Fellowship house while awaiting the court's decision.
