Brooks told people at the "Hearing Many Voices" lecture Thursday aboul her book and childhood in Kenya. After her mother died, Brooks was told to forget about her three sisters and brother. She recalled her emotions as a child, alone in the world: "Wow, nobody really wants me." Even while living at her aunt's abusive home. Brooks was aware of some Christians around her. When she was 11 or 12 years old. Brooks responded to an aliar call and asked Jesus into her heart. "1 thought being saved was the only way to be loved," Brooks said.

Trio of Marcus Miller and Friends takes crown of Battle of the Bands "We just get together and jam It's just total fun -Marcus Miller By Amanda Liilie With one bongo drum, harmonica and guitar, Marcus Miller and Friends was the winner of Saturday's Battle of the Bands. The acoustic jam trio consisting of guitarist Marcus Miller, bongo drummer Matt Peterson and harmonica player Devin Foley rocked Benson Hall with iheir upbeat, yet chill, style. Miller and Foley, both juniors, have been playing together since freshman year on their dorm floor. Peterson, a sophomore, began jamming out with them more recently, and all three guys had a blast doing it. 'We jusl gel together and jam," Miller said. "It's just total fun." Throughout the two-and- a-half hour battle, three out of eight bands earned the chance to play a second song in the finals. Second and third place went io Sialic Display and Love Love, respectively. The other bands that played—Aiming lor Aurora, Jake Kuiper, Me Against the Atlantic, Veni Vici, and Locally Owned—each had unique musical aspects to contribute to the variety of music heard throughout the evening. From a dancing moogisi in Aiming for Aurora to a singing drummer in Locally Owned, talenl never ceased to fill the stage. Despite the differences in each band's nerformances. most of them seemed to embrace the alternative rock genre as their own. Jake Kuiper, who played an acoustic set with a friend on the bongos, and Marcus Miller and Friends were the only completely acoustic gigs. Me Against the Atlantic and Static Display rocked boih acousiic and electric guitars during their performances. Me Against the Atlantic broke out of traditional rock even more with an upbeat, slightly experimental feel to their song. Locally Owned added another dimension to their performance with a female keyboardist—the sole woman performer of any band. Of the three finalist bands, Static Display has played together the longest. The four-piece band of Drew Robinson, Mason Norberg, Kevin Bondy and Andrew Nelson has jammed together since seventh grade (with the exception of Nelson). According to Bondy, they consider themselves "alternative rock," and their lyrics put out a Christian message. "We are a Chrislian band," Robinson said. "We don't do this Tor us; it's a God thing." Love Love, who received third place, has been together for the shortest amount of time. The four-piece band consisting of Chris and Andy Frost, Dan Smith, and Daniel Jorgensen has onlv been together since mow Dyuanica Myers Many bands seemed to embracce th last week. All four played with at least one other band member at some point, just never all al once. However, almost all of ihem have iheir own project besides Love Love. None of the three placing bands are entirely certain what the future holds for them. Marcus Miller and Friends plan on having fun. simply getting together and making music. For Love Love, the future "is whatever God has in siorc for our lives," Jorgenson said. Static Display might be touring with another local band next year. Business Students respond to car crash By Amanda Liliie Two Bethel students returning from a class field trip Oct. 24 aided the victims of a car accident in Minneapolis. Jon Evans and Kyle Sanford, senior business majors, were driving the 15-passenger vans for iheir Global Marketing trip to Cargill, Inc., when both drivers spotted a branch falling and smoke coming from a tree. They pulled over to find a minivan on its lefi side with an elderly couple inside. When they made sure that neither victim appeared to have injuries, Evans and Sanford set to work freeing them from the vehicle. "I was kind of worried thai the van would start on fire," Sanford said. "1 don't know if it would've or not, but that's what was going through my head." The two students and another passerby climbed on top of the van. Sanford climbed inside, unbuckled the passengers and helped them climb out the passenger door where Evans was waiting to hand them down to other students on the ground. Although ihey were al the scene for only a few minutes, Evans and Sanford performed important tasks at a very crucial time. While they finished freeing the couple, emergency help arrived. "We were there within a minuie of the crash," Evans said. "The cops came about five or seven minutes after we got there and called them, so it was really quick." According to the students, lhe elderly woman had Alzheimer's and was disoriented, and the elderly man had been attending to her when their van swerved off the road and hit a tree. Both appeared to be injury-free thanks to their air bags and ihe siudenis' quick help, so quick that Evans and Sanford didn't even get to learn the victims' names before they re- boarded the vans and returned to campus. Just days after the crash, Evans still remembers how much his adrenaline was rushing at the time. "It's a weird thing," he said. "You don't think twice aboul doing it; you just do it." Sanford agreed, and admitted lhat he doesn't remember many details beyond the sound of his partner's voice. "Out of all the people, for some reason when I got into the van and I heard Jon's voice, I wouldn't have expected anybody else to be there out of the whole class," Sanford said. "I know that's the kind of person he is." Still, boih students are quick to deny any heroic status. "I was just doing what I had to do. I wasn'l worried about anybody else around me," Evans said. "I don't need a reward," Sanford agreed. "Everybody did their part, so it worked out." Vtoto by Danica Myers Chris Frost sings original songs for the group LoveLove, coming in second olace overall.
