N Thursday, November 16, 2006 Volume 82 • Number 10 Students compare Japanese, U.S. school systems Live video makes it possible By Travis Grabow Several Bethel education majors participated in an unusual event on Thursday: they engaged in a live video conference over the Internet with a Japanese science teacher about the difference between Japanese and U.S. high schools. The connection to Tai- kyu High School was made with Polycom video conferencing equipment, allowing large amounts of video and voice data to be carried around the world in a matter of seconds. Patricia Paulson, who teaches the elementary and secondary science methods courses at Belhel, explained why it's important to study how other countries teach their students. "Results of TIMSS [Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study] over the last 10 years has consistently shown better results for Japanese science students than for U.S. students," she said. "By learning more about practices in Japan, we may gain a deeper understanding of factors that may impact performance," Paulson said. Some of those practices turned out to be quite interesting. For example, students in Japan get five weeks of vacation over the entire year, compared to U.S. students who receive nearly four months vacation.

But the Johnnies apparently underestimated the Bethel Royals. Previously ranked third in Division III, the rival Johnnies found themselves the latest victim of the Royals hot streak, which now stands at six games. That was enough to sneak them into the Top 25 for the first time all year, where they now stand at 17. To give a greater perspective of the significance of this game, the last time Bethel defeated St. John's, Phil Porta was a sophomore in high school. On Oct. 28, 2000, Bethel defeated St. John's 43-36. Somewhat ironically, St. John's went on to play in the championship game that year, losing to Division III powerhouse Mount Union. So how did they do it? What allowed the Royals to do something no one had done ail year? Bethel won the old fashioned way, with their defense and a power running game. They won the same way they've been winning all year.

By Stephanie Schmidt Over 100 students participated in the 2006 Cancer Walk on Friday in the SRC to raise money for cancer research. This year's event brought in about $5000, according to Kelsey Kiel, BSA director of Weekend Activities. "We just really wanted to show our support for the [University of Minnesota] Research Center," said Kiel, whose committee organized all of the night's activities. "They really appreciate every year when we do this..We're pretty much happy with whatever we got." Students participating in last weekend's event had plenty of things to do when they weren't walking or jogging around the track. Most came in groups of five or 10 and enjoyed activities including food, board games, basketball and an inflatable Velcro wall. Only one person from each team was required to be walking at a time, although many teams spent the majority of the time participating together. No matter what activity each student was doing, everyone seemed to be having fun and using the night to help raise money for what all agree is a great cause.
