Dr. David Cooperman,
professor of sociology at
the University of Minne-sota,
said in last Friday's
convocation chapel that
"anti-Jewishness is a ter-rible
distraction for Chris-tians
of intense critical be-lief."
The discussion was
titled "American Culture,
Anti-Semitism and Chris-tianity."
Cooperman began the
discussion by pointing out
three assumptions. The
first was that "our anti-semitism
is benign com-pared
to European anti-semi
tism." This compari-tive
benigness should,
however, provoke a dis-tinction.
"What, if any-thing,
is there about the
logic of Christianity that
may be conducive or cor-relative
with anti-semi-tism?"
asked Cooperman.
The second assumption
pointed out is that "anti-
Semitic attitudes among
Americans have declined
significantly in the past
thirty years," stated Coop-erman.
The reason for this
decline is "not related to
increasing understanding
of Jews by Christians or
Christians by Jews." Ra-ther,
it is related to in-creased
secularization.
Jews and Christians are
both coming to a common
social, economic and psy-chological
state.
However, that "can not be
assumed "that anti-Semi-tism
will not grow...it can
be carried by any move-ment
of renewal or moral
regeheration."
Thirdly, Cooperman as-sumed
that "what anti-
Semitism exists is largely
but not totally, unrelated
to Christianity as such
..rather, a residue of what
may be called popularistic
or secular anti-Semitism
reflecting a suspiciousness
and antagonism of outsid-ers,
such as stereotypes of
Jews."
Although America's ten-dencies
toward anti-Semi-tism
are small, compared
to Europe's, "any amount
is too much," Cooperman
said.
The question that Coop-erman
put forth was
"what, for Christians of
critical belief, should be
the attitude of the believ-ing
Christian toward pop-ulous,
non-Christian anti-
Semitism?"
To answer this question
Cooperman discussed the
origin of anti-Semitism
coming from "a historical,
social, or cultural envi-ronment."
"If the range of actions
is so wide then we have
the right, logically, to sus-pect
that such beliefs are
rationalizations and not
logical entailments of Chris-ti
a nit y," said Cooperman.
Cooperman answered
the question with the fol-lowing:
"It is the obliga-tion
of both Jew and Chris-tian
to make the distinc-tion
between forms of an-tagonism,
either Jews to-ward
Christians or Chris-tians
to Jews...it is the ob-ligation
of the religionists,
as well as intelligent hu-manists
of all kinds, to
come to grips with much
more central problems."

Sociology professor Dr. David Cooperman spoke on
anti-Semitism in Chapel last Friday. Cooperman teaches
at the University of Minnesota.

Graduation nears with student fears
by Shari Goddard
As graduation creeps
ever closer, many seniors
hold their breath, waiting
for something to go wrong.
For most of them, every-thing
will move smoothly
along. For a few, however,
their nightmares will come
true.
Even now, some stu-dents
struggle to keep
their G.P.A.'s up to stan-dard,
or rush to finish P.E.
skills test, due today. Ten
to 15 students who thought
at the beginning of the
semester that they would
earn degrees this year, will
not receive their diplomas
May 24. A few will nar-rowly
miss graduation
because they did not com-plete
enough P.E. credits.
No one is allowed to go
through commencement
unless s/he has completed
every graduation require-ment
listed in the registra-tion
catalog. "You assume
that every student is ac-countable,"
said Dwight
Jessup, academic adminis-tration
director. He said
the catalog must almost
be a student's Bible. "The
(system) may seem harsh.
And yet, the school is char-tered
to give degrees...it is
a matter of integrity for
the college and should be
for the students, too."
Since first semester,
when students indicated
their wish to graduate this
year, the list of potential
graduates has shrunk from
over 400 to approximately
370.
According to Carl Stein-bach,
recorder for the Re-gistrar,
the reasons her of-fice
takes students off the
list vary widely. Some
students find they did not
meet requirements, while
others elect to stay and use
up their sports eligibility.
Steinbach said the largest
number of last-minute
problems reach the Regis-trar
by May 1.
Jessup said some last-minute
problems stem
from laziness. He said
some students do not take
requirements seriously,
thinking they will not be
held back for lacking only
one thing. Other problems
come from the juggling of
transcripts when students
transfer into the school.
Occasionally students
think special circum-stances
should allow them
time extensions or exemp-tion
from meeting a re-quirement.
Last year a
student's correspondence
professor got sick, delay-ing
testing. The student
was granted five days to
finish his midterm and all
other tests for the course.
By traveling to Iowa, he
made the deadline. If the

editorial
Better security could combat assault
We have talked about it before and it looks like we
need to talk about it again. The topic: Bethel's security
system.
Two weeks ago a Bethel woman was raped. That
matter has already been dealt with (see April 24
Clarion). But the fact of the matter really rests on why
Bethel's security is not working better.
We are not so foolish as to think that a more substan-tial
security system would eliminate all possibility of
violent acts occurring an our campus. But we are wise
enough to see that theilack of security was a definite
accomplice to the crime. (Yes, it is a crime. Right here on
Bethel's campus.)
Bethel has one outside night watchman and one
inside night guard. The security shack shelters that one
watchman as he cautiously checks each car that enters
campus from Old Snelling. The Highway 51 entrance
remains blocked off only by a chain across the road.
The night watchmen are Bethel Seminary students,
minimally trained in the art of security and defense.
Regularly, the outside guard leaves the security shack
and patrols the campus, leaving the entrance unat-tended.
A total of $23,000 has been appropirated this year for
Bethel's security. $2000, for supplies and expenses,
$2000 for equipment, and $19,000 for student salaries.
More money is put out for paying people who do the
work that is designated for improving security condi-tions.
For example, one security option is a professional
guard patrolling the outer perimeters of the campus
from sundown to sunrise, year-round. Streetlights all
along Bethel Drive and throughout the parking lots - all
of the lots -would hinder hidden movement of unwel-come
visitors.
Guards at or near each of the dorm entrances at night,
after 10 o'clock possibly, would make it difficult for
strangers to enter residential dwellings uninvited.
Armed security people are also needed within the
college buildings. The million-dollar investments in our
facilities make this suggestion an obvious necessity.
A high wire-link fence would deter would-be crimi-nals
from entering the campus. Admittedly, any
strongly determined thief, rapist or other criminal
would find ways to overcome an obstacle, but at
least the criminal would have to plan and scheme to
commit the crime. It wouldn't be easy to gain access to
the campus and its residents.
It is easy for those divorced from the incident to say
that the rape on our campus was a result of carelessness
on the young woman's part. But the point that needs to
be made is that women cannot be expected to become
night-time recluses simply because the campus on
which they live does not have security that would
hinder violent acts such as rape.
Women live with a constant fear of being assaulted.
Many men, though sometimes unwilling to admit it,
also fear violence that would harm them personally.
Bethel is a community that must stand on its own.
Bethel must realize its responsibility to students,
faculty, administration and staff.
Security is not a game to be played with. It is a matter
of safety and peace of mind. Do we value the individu-als
that call Bethel home?

Improvements implemented for handicapped students
by Tim Wilbee
Meeting on a "near-monthly"
basis, the Handi-capped
Students Commit-tee
is an organization de-signed
to meet the needs
of that segment of the Be-thel
population. Led by
Marilyn Starr, the infor-mal
group includes all
handicapped people at the
school as well as others
who are interested or af-fected
by the issues co-vered
by the group.
`We meet as kind of a
support group to take a
look at any kinds of prob-lems
that are on campus,"
said Marilyn Starr. She
mentioned a few things
that have evolved from
the concerns of the meet-ings.
Most students have no-ticed
the most recent de-velopment
on campus, the
placement of cups by drink-ing
fountains. Another
product of the committee's
concern was the renova-tion
of Arden Village West
N-2 for wheelchair access.
The ramp leading up to
the door was made more
negotiable and handi-capped
parking provided
ne~ rby.
"There are little things,"
said Starr, "that to us seem
little, but to them are
mountains."
The scope of "handicap-ped"
students at Bethel
has included wheelchair
persons, as well as blind,
deaf and other types of
disabilities.
The law requires all
public facilities to be ac-cessible
to handicapped
people. Bethel's totally in-door
campus makes it al-most
ideal. "The campus
had been fairly accessible,"
says junior Greg Barrows.
"There are no major things
that I can think of that
need to be changed."
However, there are al-ways
things to be desired,
as evidenced by several
students' decision not to
attend Bethel because they
felt they could not nego-tiate
the college complex.
The existence of only one
elevator on campus has
caused some inconven-ience,
especially in trying
to reach fourth floor class-rooms
and offices. Also,
the committee has called
for further renovation in
accessible townhouses'
bathroom facilities.
in its last meeting, the
committee worked togeth-er
to produce a brochure
that will be released to the
entire campus next fall. It
is designed to help other
students understand how
to deal with and react to
handicapped students.
Marilyn Starr asserted
that handicapped persons
are very independent and
want others to view them
that way. The brochure
should help people to re-spect
that independence.
The committee was ori-ginally
scheduled to meet
once a month, but has
since met less often.
"There aren't that many
things that come up that
we need to talk about,"
said Barrows. A group of
five or six usually attend
the meetings.
"Fresh Orange Cheese-cake"—
perfected by aux-iliary
cook Laurie Jones in
the Bethel College kit-chens—
is on its way to
Florida for national com-petition.
Nine district winners of
the National Association
of College and University
Food Services will com-pete
at Walt Disney World
on May 5 under the spon-sorship
of Florida Sun-shine
Tree for the the
grand prize citrus recogni-tion.
The grand cham-pion,
selected by a panel
of judges, will receive a
$500 award.
As a regional winner,
Laurie was given $100,
and a trip for twoto Flor-ida
to compete in the bake-off
finals. Janel McCoy,
another Bethel cook, will
accompany Laurie. "Both
of us developed the recipe,"
said Laurie, "but Janel
filled out the entry from
and put my name on it.
Had I filled it out it probab-ly
would have been the
other way around.
Both cooks give credit
to Wayne Erickson, Be-thel's
food service direc-tor,
for suggesting the
cheesecake idea. "And
without his pushing,"
Laurie added, "we
wouldn't have entered the
contest at all."
Business major Laurie Petroski interned with a bus drivers'
union this year. She used her non-partisan objectivity to
help clarify points during contract negotations.

Internships for Bethel
students provide a solid
learning experience, as for
Laura Petroski, a business
major. Since November,
Petroski has worked with
the Amalgamated Transit
Union in drawing up a
new contract for the Co-lumbia
Bus Company.
The three-year contract,
between the bus drivers'
union and the company,
expired this year at the
end of March. Developing
the next working agree-ment,
which protects the
rights of drivers, required
long hours of strategy ses-sions
and negotiations.
Peter Calhoun, presi-dent
of the bus union and
Bethel alumnus, asked the
business department for a
student to observe the half-year
process. He wanted
an impartial outside person
son to help set up new
proposals and evaluate the
negotiations.
Petroski's advisor, Bob
Weaver, had just heard of
the request by phone when
Petroski entered his office.
She came to tell him she
was looking for a pro-union
internship.
As a Teamster member
interested in working with
labor relations, Petroski wel-comed
the chance to see,
first-hand, a union strug-gle
for compromises with
a company. She said she
advocates workers' rights
to voice their concerns
and strike when neces-sary.
After several months of
contract-proposal prepa-rations,
members of both
sides met at McGuire's Inn
for two months of negotia-
Graduates, from page 1
(CAAC). Unless that com-mittee
has flagrantly acted
unfairly, Jessup said the
commit tee is given the fi-nal
word. He said he has
never known of the com-mittee
being overruled.
Al one time Bethel al-lowed
students to partici-pa
te in commencement if
they were two courses
short of graduation. Jes-sup
said that even if we
still allowed students two
credits short to graduate,
I he re would always he
someone wanting to grad-uate
just short of that.
"We're not near as tough
as n lot of other places. Al
he finiversiiy, if you miss
tions. Meetings often lasted
12 to 16 "hours a day, three
to four days a week.
Working side-by-side
with the union executive
board, Petroski was en-couraged
to participate. "I
couldn't speak during the
main negotiations, but I
could during caucus ses-sions,"
she said. Calhoun
said he was pleased with
Petroski's contribution.
She often clarified points
of view, using her objec-tivity
as a member of
neither side.
Compromise, according
to Petroski, was crucial. If
the bus drivers decided to
strike, several schools in
the area would have to
operate without bus ser-vice.
But the parties did
reach an agreement.
As part of her intern-ship,
Petroski must also
write an evaluation of the
communications dyna-mics
of the negotiations.
According to Petroski, the
company used guilt as a
psychological weapon
against the union.
Petroski said that hav-ing
seen from the inside
the "positive power" of
unions in protecting peo-ple,
she is considering a
future in helping to organ-ize
women into unions.
She said she understands
the skills of representing
employees, skills neces-sary
because of visible an-tagonism
toward emplo-yee
rights.
"I wish more students
took initiative to get into
an intern program," Pet-roski
said. Students can
get class credit and have
the chance to get off cam-pus
to learn first-hand."
something, there's no win-dow
to knock on," said
Jessup.
In answer to requests
from students who missed
the listed days of P.E. test-ing,
the physical education
department opened ano-ther
day of testing. Next
year a late test will cost a
student $20.
Even with the extra
avenues for help and ap-peal,
some students will
not celebrate graduation
this year as planned. In-stead
they will have to
wail until at least next
May 10 walk across the
singe and out Bethel's
doors.
Budget, part 6 in a ser-ies
of 8
Within the past ten
years, enrollment and tui-tion
increases have doub-led,
which would mean
total financial aid dollars
should have probably quad-rupled
to offset the in-creases.
Right?
Wrong.
Financial aid has in-creased
ten times in the
past 10 years.
Revenue
Dan Nelson, director of
enrollment, said financial
aid has increased so rapid-ly
because government aid
programs have increased
their dollar amounts. "It
has grown ten times since
the 1970-71 school years—
that's much faster than
the rest of the school," he
said.
In 1970-71, students re-ceived
$588,000 in aid,
while in 1980 -81, students
received $5,670,000. Much
of the $5.6 million is not
included in actual budget
figures, as monies from
programs such as Basic
Grant and Guaranteed
St udent Loans are chan-neled
through Bethel, with
students receiving all of
I he money.
"We call these wash-outs,"
explained Nelson.
"The money comes in, and
then goes right back out
again. They don't have an
impact on Bethel's budget;
nothing is made, nothing
lost."
The financial aid office
budget is listed as having
$1,275,500, or about nine
per cent of Bethel's expen-ditures.
Wash-out monies
make up the difference be-
Expenditures
tween the actual $5.7 mil-lion
figure and the official
budget of $1.3 million.
The largest wash-out
item is the Guaranteed
Student Loan program
(GSL), which accounts for
$2 million in aid. Other
wash-out items include
the Basic and Supplemen-tal
Educational Opportun-ity
Grant (BEOG and
SEOG) programs,
$865,000; National Direct
Student Loans (NDSL),
$525,000; federal work-study,
$330,000; and state
work-study, $70,000.
A few wash-out items
are included in the official
financial aid budget, such
as the Minnesota Higher
Education Coordinating
Board (MHECB), which
by Leann M. Kicker
Every student worries
about grades, the measure
of academic progress. At
Bethel, minimum academic
progress is at least a 2.00
GPA or successful com-pletion
of at least 75 per
cent of courses attempted
in any regular term.
When students do not
make minimum academic
progress they are issued
an academic warning.
Chester Duck, registrar,
says of the warning. "It's
just a nudge to get going.
We're saying hey, you're
not on your toes." Duck
recommends that students
was estimated to bring in
$450,000 for this year's
budget.
"They actually gave us
$630,000." Nelson said the
increase resulted from
three factors: more Bethel
students qualified for aid
than was planned, Bethel's
enrollment grew more
than other Minnesota pri-vate
colleges, and the max-imum
award was increas-ed
from $1100 to $1250
this year.
"Students who qualify
for these state grants and
scholarships are usually
eligible for the maximum
amount," Nelson said. The
money is controlled by the
state legislature, and is
available only to needy
Minnesota state residents.
The Allis Foundation is
another wash-out fund
available only to needy
Minnesota state residents.
Besides wash-out monies,
financial aid also comes in
the form of institutional
grants and scholarships,
which are funded directly
by Bethel, from the gen-eral
fund. The general fund
includes revenue received
from all sources.
Nelson said he prefers
to consider the revenue
source for the institutional
grants as coming from the
gift income part of the reve-nue
budget. "To say it
comes from the tuition
part of the revenue would
he like having a form of
socialism, with the wealth-ier
students' tuition sub-sidizing
the needy stu-dents'
scholarships and
grants."
who receive a warning see
their advisors for help.
A student can remain
on warning status for only
two terms. If after that
time minimum standards
are not met the student is
placed on academic pro-bation.
"That means your
in trouble and must take
immediate action," said
Duck.
At the end of the 1980
fall term 215 students re-ceived
academic warn-ings;
22 of those were
placed on probation, three
were continued on proba-tion
second semester and
15 were placed on final
probation. Those on final
probation have some con-ditions
to meet. There
were 12 dismissals. Of
those, four appealled and
three were readmitted.
Student Affairs informs
all students who receive
academic warnings about
academic improvement
groups. These groups help
with time management
and study skills. Of the
215 notified only 14 re-sponded
and formed
groups with faculty
leaders.
Students who have been
dismissed may appeal to
the Curriculum Adminis-tration
Advisory Commit-tee
(CAAC). The CAAC is
made up of nine people:
faculty, administrators,
and students, Roy Wilbee
is the chairman. Appeals
are made in writing to him.
After the committee has
read the appeal the stu-dent
can appear in person
to answer questions.
Appeals are readmitted
if the committee deter-mines
there were extenua-ting
circumstances, or if
improvement is shown. "If
an appeal is granted,"
Duck said, "they (the
committee) can place any
kind of restrictions on the
student. For example, a
change in living arrange-ments.
It sounds like a difficult
process, but it isn't," said
Duck. "The Committee is
really quite pleasant. They
want the student to make
it," he added.
Students who do not
appeal or who are not
granted appeal may reap-ply
for admission after a
year away. The process is
no different than any other
readmit. "A year out of
school can make a big dif-ference."
said Duck.

Against the Auggies,
tough luck pitcher Jeff
Wilson lost his fourth
game of the year as the
Royals dropped the opener
by a score of 9-5. The game
was close until the end
with Augsburg leading 4-
3 going into the seventh. A
five-run rally gave the
Auggies a 9-3 lead and the
Royals were unable to
make up the six run dif-ference.

two-run triple got the Ro-yals
closer but the rally
ended there. Wilson is

The women's track team
placed eighth last Satur-day
at the Macalester Pri-vate
College Invitational
Meet.
The day proved to be
successful with two Be-thel
records broken and
high places despite the
tough competition.
The 880-yard medley
relay team, consisting of
Jenny and Danette Bur-gess,
Sherri Lindquist,
and Lynn Severson broke
a school record breaking
the tape at 1:54.7.
The other school record
was broken by junior Wen-dy
Norberg. Norberg ran
the 5000 - meter run in
18:49, placing sixth in that
event. Her previous
record was 18:54.
Danette Burgess placed
sixth in the 100-meter
dash with a time of 12.9
seconds. This was the
first time Burgess had
broken thirteen seconds in
the 100-meter dash, so it
was a personal best for
her.
In other sprinting e-vents,
co-captain Lynn
Severson placed fourth in
the 200-meter dash with a
time of 27.4 seconds. In
