The Clarion Vol. 62 No. 17 ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 10 April 1987 Repairs reduce summer housing openings at Fountain by Paul Johnson Applications for summer housing at Fountain Terrace have been available since April 1 from Auxiliary Services in LR 111. This summer the'rent will be $400 per month which includes water and utilities; telephone is extra. According to Tom Tul- berg of Auxiliary Services, about 42 units will he available, housing approximately 160 students. Tulberg said that they were looking into the possibility of subleting apartments at Seminary Village which wall add additional spaces. Applications will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Tulberg stated that the sooner students get their applications in, the better chance they have to get an apartment. Bethel students will have first priority for available spaces. However, in past years Bethel has had a constituency of retired persons. These people, often related to Bethel, come to the Twin Cities during the summer to visit relatives, and have rented units at Fountain Terrace. Since the units are fully furnished, it has been a "perfect fit" for them. When student demand isn't high, renting to non-students helps to keep the units in use. This year it is anticipated that 12 units will be filled by retirees. The main reason all the available units are not open to students seems to be that Bethel cannot afford to leave any of these units empty. The retired persons are a type of security to insure that this won't happen. Tulberg said that "It is tough to know from year to year what the student demand will be." Last year there was a large demand by students for summer housing in comparison with John Dennis and the Mayberry Mayhem woo Gadkin Chapel attenders with their rendition of "Tell Me More." photo by George Wessman PTL's Bakker ruined by 7year-old sin Charlotte, N.C. (EP)—In his first press interview since he resigned his ministry over a sexual affair with a church secretary, the Rev. Jim Bakker, former president of the PTL television ministry, said, "I'm so very sorry this happened. I failed. I made a mistake, and I am hurting because of it. All I can do is ask everyone's forgiveness." He added, "This is devastating for the children. Our lives are totally destroyed. All we have left is our faith in God,..It's amazing how 15 minutes can destroy your life." Bakker stepped down from his leadership post with PTL after admitting he had made payments to Jessica Hahn fol lowing a sexual encounter with her seven years ago. Bakker's resignation came weeks after he revealed that his wife, Tammy Faye Bakker, had been hospitalized for treatment of a 17-year-long addiction to prescription drugs. "Tam is able to hold up so steady through this," he said in an interview with the Muskegon Chronicle. "No nasal spray, no Allerests, no Valium, which was just running her life." Bakker said he had stopped following the news reports of the growing scandal which some have dubbed "Pearly- gate." "I guess it's a free-for-all time right now," he said. "I can understand the media doing it; that's their job. But I'm so sur prised by people in the ministry ...to Hear such hatred directed toward me." "It's amazing how 15 minutes can destroy your life." —Jim Bakker Bakker's attorney, Norman Roy Grutman, has said that Bakker's fall was engineered by rival evangelist Jimmy Swag- gart, who Grutman said planned a "hostile takeover" of the PTL ministry. Swaggart denied the charge, and an investigation by the Assemblies of God has determined that there is no sub- other years. They could have filled Fountain Terrace entirely with students. Although this could be the case this year, apparently student's plans tend to be less firm than those of the retired persons. One problem in figuring student demand has to do with those who are hoping to find a summer job in the Twin Cities. Tulberg said that some students who had applied for housing last year were unable to find jobs and therefore went home. Thus spaces were made available, but since there was a waiting list of persons desiring housing, these spaces would not be left empty. Rod Long, director of housing, said that this year there would be fewer apartments available than last year because of necessary repairs. At least one of the buildings will be undergoing fairly extensive repairs and thus will not be in use this summer. Long said that such repairs need to be made during the summer so that the buildings can be ready for fall occupancy. The repairs include everything from putting in new carpeting, to plumbing, to the painting of walls and ceilings. Basically, whatever needs to be done they are going to try and do. The budget determines when and how much repairs can be done, which unfortunately tends to inconvenience some. Some of the apartments are rented on a yearly basis to married students, and these, of course, are not available for summer housing. Tulberg said that if necessary, they would have a list for those who are looking for roommates. Should all the apartments be filled, a waiting list will be set up in case of last-minute cancellations. Senate discusses housing; new policy gains approval Pearlygate see p. 2 by Brad Best Student Senate met for the twenty-fourth time on Wednesday, April 1 and reviewed the newly composed housing proposal. This proposal is the result of a combination of student input, a Senate executive committee, and Rod Long, housing director. Long was present at the meeting to introduce the proposal and answer any questions. "The process is pretty much the same as last year. It's still a class-level priority system that recognizes squatter's rights," said Long. Students' financial records will be checked to make sure that their bills are paid. One of the things that will be different this year is that housing selection will be done in three phases—one for town- houses, another for dorms and one for Fountain Terrace. The system will still employ a combination of freshmen and upper- classmen, with upperclassmen comprising a maximum of 30% of all occupants. Students' financial records will be checked to make sure that their bills are paid. "We've gotten into some degree of difficulty with the business office when we sign up people for housing who aren't eligible to register for classes," said Long. Senators were concerned about squatter's rights, their role in communicating this information to their fellow students, and with the length of the policy which may be too long for some to -read thoroughly. Senate decided to vote on the new housing application process and a majority of senators were in favor of supporting it. The Rules and Finance committee wrote bill 28-24-1 concerning an allocation of funds for the all-college banquet. A total of $1,300 will be needed for the banquet with $1,100 coming from the Senate budget and another $200 through fundraisers. An upcoming Air Band will be part of this fundraising. The rules were then suspended so that they could vote on the bill without further discussion. Senate voted on the bill, which was passed by a majority vote.
