He spent almost a decade as Vice President and Dean of Bethel College before becoming lhe President we know him as today, in 1982. His retirement, slated for June 2008, will mark a transitional point for a much-changed Belhel after Brushaber's long and distinguished career. Here are a few of the changes the University has undergone in his time here: -Over the last 26 years, there has been a new building or significant remodeling every 18 months on average. These projects include the Community Life Center, Lissner and Heritage Hall. Brushaber has also been instrumental in the building campaign for the new student center. -Bethel has acquired a number of buildings at all three Seminary locations, as well as the Red Fox building and Bethel Office Center. -Bethel athletic facilities have expanded significantly with the addition of Hargis Park, Royal Stadium, and the Ona Orth Athletic Complex. -A number of Graduate programs and the official Graduate school, as well as the CAPS school for continuing education of working adults, were added. Only the Seminary offered graduate de grees earlier. Consequently, our name changed to Beihel University. -The average ACT score of Bethel sludents has gone up three points: in 1982, incoming students scored 21-22; the average today is 24-25. -The manner of education has changed dramatically with the growth of the internet. The Seminary developed "InMinistry" classes, where the majority of class material is found on the internet, with in-person conferences a few times a year, making distance learning possible for more students. -Changes like these, and Brushabers connec tions to several Christian publications and colleges, put Bethel on the map with a national impact on Evangelical education. Our recently-added Doctorate of Education and Masters in Business Administration programs also incorporate similar components. -In 1982, the "Fall head count" was 2,600 undergraduate students. Now, around 6,000 call Bethel home between the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Adult and Professional Studies, the Graduate school, and Seminaries in St. Paul, San Diego, and on the East coast.

"We love Judy," said Jim Benjamin, associate dean for Residence Life. "Her great sense of care for staff and students is apparent in her decision making. She's thorough—she connects really well with so many people, and will help anyone out." Erin White, office assistant, talked aboul office prayer every Thursday morning, and said, "When Judy prays, you can really understand her close relationship with God. You can tell that her prayers come from her heart." Susan Carlson, Mosemans administrative assistant, said she will miss Mosemaii's relational quality. "When you talk to her you know you are her main priority," Carlson said. Moseman also possesses an astounding memory for names, and has been known to remember "about 75%, for a modesi estimation" of the student body Moseman continued on page 8 A student looks over her shoulder as she pockets a sandwich from Market Square. Theft from Market, Campus Store on the rise WLW M "*«f > 1 .^ • ■ \ dPlrl 1 HpPI ^^ i IMrl Photo by Anna ill's ted V ii Staff takes steps to prevent theft in high traffic, difficult-to-monitor areas around campus By Cory Streeter A male studenl shuffled to the end of a curving line in Market and groaned at how long it would take him to reach the register. 'All this hassle for about five bucks of food?' he thought. 'And I still have to eat before class. Forgei it.' He slipped past the line, grasping his sandwich and chips beside his backpack and followed a tall kid with a hamburger and fries outside the gates, 'Besides, I already pay enough for Bethel,' he thought -Fictional account based on true evenis Too many times, that's what supervisors in Market and the DC hear: The lines were too long. It was only one Mountain Dew, what's lhe big deal? Regardless of lhe location, theft is theft. Though still less prevalent than other colleges, incidents of theft from Market Square, DC and the Campus Store are up, according to Bruce Kunkel, vice president for Campus Services. "Il appears io be so fundamentally contradictory with who we are as a community," Kunkel said. "It is surprising, but sadly true." Kunkel and other Sodexho staff said though it remains a slim minority of students committing these actions, the number is increasing. Kunkel said in recent sepa- "The vast majority of our students live within the honor system very very well, but.. .there are an increasing few that are violating it." -Bruce Kunkel rate meetings wilh Sodexho and Campus Store managers, both told of an increasing number of thefts. A joint meeting was ihen called lo address the issue specifically. From lhe Campus Store, the evidence is more quantitative with discrepancies of inventory, When clothing tags are found in the store ripped from their original source, "you know il has walked out the door," Kunkel said. Even boxed Bibles are found empty to apparent theft—"That's the one lhat boggles my mind," Kunkel said. For Market Square, the student traffic during lunch and dinner hours cause visibility drawbacks, but Sodexho staff has taken new measures to curb the problem. During lunch hours since interim, Melinda Koehn and Rosalie Fitzgerald, Market Square coordinators, position themselves outside the gates of Market to monitor studenl receipts. Koehn said they calch sometimes four to five sludents every day slipping out without paying. Some in a rush honestly forgei io pay, she said, but there are others who adamantly deny guilt. When faced with iheir guill, lhe mosi common reply is ihey didn't want to wail that long, Koehn said. And most have plenty of Flex remaining, she saicl. ID cards can be taken from those who don't comply. All recent payments on Flex can be verified ihrough the registers. Repeat offenders are placed on the "Wall of Shame" in iheir office, Koehn said, with iheir name and photo. That way, staff can recognize those most prone to the problem. If a problem persists, they are turned over to Bob Schuchardt, general manager of Sodexho, who works with Siudent Life to make amends through some sort of community service. The university prefers to resolve these specific thefts "in- house" raiher than involving the Ramsey County Sheriff. This is to the studenis' advantage, because il could be worse. What students don't realize, Schuchardt said, is "if you did this at Target, you will be arrested." Still, Schuchardt said, staff shouldn't be the police, and he won't go into posting signs of theft awareness because that would detract from the place which we build community. The overall character of students is great, he said, evidenced by some turning others in for stealing food. Students keeping students accountable helps, for the increased theft equals increased food prices the following year, according to Sodexho staff. The future student center will be designed to accommodate the new Campus Store and Market with tighter security. Until then, Kunkel said, there's discussion to place more cameras in suspect areas by the Campus Store and Market to monitor possible theft. "The vast majority of our studenis live within the honor system very, very well," Kunkel said, "but... there are an increasing few that are violating it."
