New dorm to open in fall of '99 By John Groh News Editor A dorm which will house 275 upper-class students and a Fine Arts (FA) building expansion are scheduled to be completed for the beginning of classes in the fall of 1999. The two construction projects were approved by the Board of Trustees during their October meeting. The dorm will be constructed in the dirt lot south of the Community Life Center. The 70,000 square foot, three- story dorm will be, the largest on Bethel's campus. Architecture details have not yet been finalized, however according to Craig Hjelle, Director of Physical Plant and Campus Planning, the dorm will be constructed in a townhouse or suite concept. Hjelle is working with a committee made up of students and staff representatives to determine how the dorm should be built to best meet the needs of students. "We want to respond to the students," said Hjelle.

Liebler Staff Writer After several years of Bethel faculty and students expressing concern over the current standards and process involved in faculty promotion and tenure issues, Bethel College is looking to adopt a new tenure policy. At most colleges,once an instructor reaches professor status and is given tenure, he or she cannot be released. At Bethel, however, a professor is reviewed for tenure every five years. Rich Sherry, Dean of Faculty Growth and Assessment, said this five year review challenges professors towards growth and gives them a chance for growth, to evaluate their career and redirect themselves. This evaluation process, however, is what some feel needs to be revised. Sherry said clear definitions were needed to include the role for faculty at Bethel and the expectations of them. This need has resulted in the formation of a Bethel faculty panel who focus on revising the current policy for assessing initial ten ure and evaluation. The revisions have undergone a process and the board hopes to have the new approaches completed by May. The current policy for tenure allows a-professor to receive initial tenure or promotion based on the degree preparation and years of teaching. The proposed document for initiated tenure changes the process to include a review before a panel, which would be called "The Promo- Tenure policy continued on page 3 By Shelly Moe Staff Writer Since the arrival of the Internet at Bethel, students have gained access to the world and tools to help in their quest for knowledge. At the same time, a new door to pornography was opened. There is growing concern at Bethel about user access to inappropriate web sites, especially those that contain pornography. This concern about access to pornagraphy on the Internet is is wide spread. At Wheaton College in Wheaton, 111., a decision was made to block access to all pornographic sites from their computer labs. Tracking files showed that, in the first two weeks of the block, 2,700 attempts were made to access blocked sites.

Some call it the "Ecology Club" others refer to "them" as tree huggers. Junior Trish Holub helped start RP after spending a semester in the rainforest of Belize in die Global Stewardship Study Program. Holub said, "Restoration Project rocks because it opens students' eyes to real life issues in our world that aren't commonly talked about." The issues are named in their logo: environmental and social justice. "Our mission is to serve the Earth and serve the poor. I know these sound like very different issues, but they are completely interwoven," said junior April Thompson. "We believe that it is impossible to care for people in need without caring for the environment." Restoration Project has several ways of acting on their beliefs; Sophomore Abby Benedict said, "We are fired up to serve.
