Transfer students speak: Students share why they are leaving Bethel. Wednesday, May 13,1998 NEWSPAPER OF BETHEL COLLEGE \bhane 73 • Nwriber 14 Copy center vandalized By Jamieson Clair Co-Editor-in-Chief Clarion/ Photo by Matt Lang Bethel's Copy Center was broken into sometime between 6 p.m. Friday, May 1, and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 3. Nothing was stolen and no suspects have been named. A student worker noticed the damage Sunday afternoon and Copy Center Clerk Barbara Barnes found the test drawer open early Monday morning. Minimal damage was done to the door lock and the drawer which is designated for tests to be copied. Whether the burglar was looking for tests or money could not be determined. According to Copy Center Manager Debbie Buchanan, the one test that was in the drawer was not taken, and was rewritten. No money was in the center prior to the break-in. Faculty stands behind Boyd By Joanne Nystrom Co-Editor-in-Chief The Bethel College faculty unanimously passed a resolution in support of theology Professor Greg Boyd at the May 5 faculty meeting. Boyd's view on God's knowledge of the future has been criticized by Dr. John Piper, pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis. Boyd presented his "openness" view to the faculty at the April 29 faculty meeting. After discussion, Faculty Moderator G.W. Carlson proposed a resolution in support of Boyd, and he coordinated writing the resolution. The following is the resolution in its entirety: To: Bethel Board of Trustees President Brushaber Provost Jay Barnes Whereas the Bethel faculty has a strong commitment to the value of academic freedom and responsibility in a Christian Liberal Arts college; and Whereas the Baptist General Conference has accommodated both Arminian and Cal- vinist traditions within its history and has a long tradition of valuing religious liberty and toleration; and Whereas President Brushaber and Provost Barnes have inter- Boyd continued on page 3 Computer Services monitoring printing and blocking web in fall Record numbers study abroad By Kara Miller Staff Writer Next fall 45 students are expected to be studying off- campus, a tremendous increase from 17 last fall (not including 26 on England Term) and 35 this spring. International Studies Assistant Rebecca Ritland said that the number of students studying abroad has exploded due to word-of-mouth advertisement. "People come back and talk about their experiences. That is the best form of advertisement," said Ritland.

Academic Computing has a few changes of its own in mind: the creation of student accounts and the implementation of a new web filtering program. Student accounts mean no more floppy disks bouncing around in student backpacks. They also mean printer monitoring. Each student will be allowed to print 200 pages free. Each additional page will cost five cents. "This is to control excess web page printing," said Douglas Nguyen, Director of User Services, Academic Computing Services. According to Nguyen, in the past three years, the Bethel community has gone from printing 25,000 pages per year to printing 75,000 pages per year. Most of this increase was due to web site printing. The implementation of a web filtering program will also happen fall semester to prevent members of the Bethel community from viewing pornographic and gambling sites. This year, the Academic Computing Services Advisory Committee (ACSAC) has tested two filtering programs, SurfWatch and WebSense, on a trial basis. SurfWatch was deemed inappropriate for Bethel's needs because it blocked some searches using keywords instead of "looking" at the con tent of the web site. WebSense has proven to be much more sophisticated. "The search is not impacted," said Bill Doyle, member of ACSAC, "but if the search uncovers a site that is a blocked site, and you try to access that site, you will be blocked because at that point you are trying to access an [inappropriate] web page." WebSense does not look only at the front page of the web site, but rather at all pages involved with that web site. "[WebSense] only blocks the pages [at a web site] that are inappropriate according to the predefined criteria," said Doyle. WebSense's trial period has just been concluded. Students unhappy with Bethel's off-campus housing option Residents complain about maintenance at Fountain Terrace, but enjoy benefits By Lisa J. Foote Guest Writer Fountain Terrace, Bethel's only off-campus housing option, has been the cause of complaints this year from students who say it does not meet their standards or expectations. Tenants voiced their concerns about the fact that each occupant pays approximately $300 a month, but still lives with leaky ceilings or floors, moldy carpeting and tile, dirty water, broken locks and insects. According to Resident Director Michele Fennick- Pinkham, these complaints have been dealt with. "[Students] need to know that if they call maintenance and register a complaint, [maintenance] will do their best to make changes and fix the problem." Fennick-Pinkham said that Fountain has a contract with Ecolab to spray or set up traps if a pest problem exists. Junior Beth Eiserloh does not believe her complaint was given the necessary attention. Eiserloh said she complained about an ant problem and was forced to solve it herself by purchasing ant traps. Senior Heather Ehresman had better luck with Bethel maintenance, even though it took some time before the desired changes took place. Ehresman "had a terrible kitchen floor" first semester. "It took a while to fix it," she Fountain Terrace continuedon page 2
