The former game room has been converted into an exercise room. This includes a treadmill, an "elliptical machine," which is, according to Heritage resident director Christine Osgood, "a cross between walking and riding a bike, without the bike," and a universal weightlifting machine. "This is a wonderful fitness opportunity for the residents of that dorm, and it would be wonderful if we could start that trend throughout campus," Health and Physical Education Professor Dottic Haugen said. The idea for the exercise room was first conceived this past January by Osgood and Heritage resident assistant Malia Hoffman as a way of combating winter blues. "In January and February, when physical activity is low, spirits are heavier, and one of the ways to [raise spirits] is to exercise," Osgood said. Around that time, Osgood and Hoffman began to contact local health clubs to see if any would be willing to donate their used equipment to Bethel. In mid-April, Bruce Kunkel, vice president for campus services, approached Osgood with an anonymous donation of $9,000 lhat was set aside for Heritage Hall exercise equipment. After Osgood researched the type of equipment that would best suit Heritage, it was purchased in May.

English professor Barrett Fisher, who served as the Bush Grant Director, said the grant will, "help faculty do a better job of evaluating what technology makes possible." Provost Jay Barnes said that because "technology is a key piece of culture," the grant can impact Bethel in a significant way. One of the key components of the grant will be funding for course releases for professors. Fisher said that $30,000 will go toward 10 such releases this year and $60,000 will be spent for 20 releases each of the next two years. Such releases will free a professor from teaching one class in order to facilitate greater focus on their specific technological initiative. Kim Meyer, assistant professor of nursing, one of the participants for this school year, said her release will allow her to work more on a class for the PACE program. Meyer said that in addition to a "gentle introduction to programs such as Blackboard and Dreamweaver" for students, she hopes the grant can be a precursor to "developing online courses Continued on page 3 Students learn teamwork at the Henotes Degeiro event. Two resolutions pass at BGC Annual Conference Br JENNIELEE BOWEN Editor Delegates of Bethel College and the Baptist General Conference (BGC) passed both the Edgren Fellowship Resolution and the Committed Pastors Resolution during their annual meeting last June. "Simply stated, the majority of the delegates wished to go on record as repudiating the position Dr. Boyd takes on the way God knows the future, and the delegates also voted to endorse the Position Statement of the Bethel Trustees in order to show their support for the way Bethel has handled this theological controversy," said Bethel President George Brushaber. The acceptance of the Edgren Fellowship Resolution demonstrates that the delegates believe God's knowledge of all events is complete. "As far as I am concerned, this settles the issue of where the Baptist General Conference is on the exhaustive foreknowledge of God," BGC President Bob Ricker said. Additionally, the Committed Pastors Resolution supports the Affirmation of Faith and approved the stance taken by the Board of Trustees. "The Position Statement of the Trustees affirms some important procedural steps that Dr. Boyd has offered to follow whenever he teaches in this area of dispute," Brushaber said. "The trustee statement affirms that Dr. Boyd is a faculty member in good standing at Bethel College. "Further, it should be noted that Continued on page 2 Edgren Fellowship Resolution Whereas the Bible reveals and affirms that God knows all of the past, present and future exhaustively, and Whereas both Presidents Ricker of the BGC and Brushaber of Bethel College and Seminary have made it clear that the BGC and Bethel are no "safe havens" for open theism and that no new professors espousing such a view would be hired, and Whereas an increasing number of districts and churches have taken action to affirm God's exhaustive foreknowledge and rejection of open theism, and Whereas Dr. Ricker and the entire BGC Executive Ministry Team (Jerry Shevelanci, Ron Larson, Ray Swatkowski, Lou Petrie and Steve Schultz) have already unanimously stated that open theism is not consistent with the BGC's biblical or historical understanding of God's omniscience, and Whereas the Bible teaches there can be no real unity apart from the unity of the truth of God's person. I therefore move that the following resolution be adopted by the delegates of the BGC annual meeting. Be it resolved that we, the delegates of the Baptist General Conference (who are also the delegates of Bethel College and Seminary) affirm that God's knowledge of all past, present and future events is exhaustive; and, we also believe that the "openness" view of God's foreknowledge is contrary to our fellowship's historic understanding of God's omniscience. -(
