Bethei actresses parking issues By Douglas Ascher Staff Writer What do a needle in a haystack, Bigfoot and an open parking space at Bethel have in common? They are all hard to find. With 616 freshman, 110 transfer students, and more returning students with cars, parking at Bethel is going to be tight this year. However, administrators are optimistic that the parking situation will improve. There are 1.682 parking spaces available on the Bethel College and Seminary campus. Not including seminary student parking, there are 547 overnight spaces available to college students. Although some spaces were lost due to the construction on campus, these spots were replaced by the expansion of the West lot near the intramural field. Some students suggested that Bethel should expand an existing lot or create a new lot with daytime and overnight parking. Although creating a new lot is an idea! solution, Bethel is restricted from doing so. "Bethel must follow the Special Use Permit laws," said Director of Institutional Services, Bruce Kunkei. The Special Use Permit laws states that Bethel's roads, buildings, parking lots and paved paths must not exceed 25% of the buildable area on campus. According to Kunkei, after all of the construction on campus is complete, Bethel will have built-up approximately 24% of the buildable land. Bethel Security has some suggestions for students who still feel parking is a problem. "Students can use the shuttle service from Fountain Terrace," said Head of Security, Derrick Skoglund. "Carpooling is also a good way to help reduce the amount of spaces needed...Also, daytime parking attendants arc going to be helping drivers this year.

Herman News Editor In its latest issue of "America's Best Colleges," U.S. News and World Report ranked Bethel among the top 10 liberal arts colleges in the Midwest. In its report, U.S. News ranks colleges and universities based on a score produced by a formula including academic reputation, student retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving. For the fourth consecutive year. Bethel has been included in the magazine's rating. This year, Bethel ranked ninth in the category of Midwest Regional Liberal Arts Colleges. Bethel also ranked fourth in the same category's Highest Graduation Rate. U.S. News has compiled the rankings annually for more than 10 years. For the past two years, Bethel has ranked in the top 10 liberal arts colleges in the Midwest. In 1996, Bethel ranked among the best liberal arts colleges in the Midwest for top leaching schools. "The rankings are based on accepted measures of academic quality," described U.S. News' web site. "The rankings condense a great deal of information, making it easier to compare institutions." By condensing college information, the magazine intends their ratings to be used as a helpful tool in choosing a college for both students and parents. Bethel's recognition in the magazine is one possible explanation for the recent increase in the student population on campus. "It has had an impact on the growth and enrollment over the past few years at Bethel," said Admissions Coordinator, John Lawson. "It one of many factors...People do look at the magazine...in some people's minds it gives us more credibility." Bethel's Public Relations Department agrees. "I know from the parents that were here for Welcome Week, they are picking this up in bookstores and are interested in seeing where we are," said Bethel's Communication Specialist and coordinator of the information sent lo U.S. News. Anne Johmmsen. Performance statistics on page 2 Use caution ahead: construction covers campus By Amy K.N. Herman News Editor Construction projects cover much of Bethel's campus this fall, and will continue throughout the year. These projects include the construction of a new dorm and the FA expansion. To alleviate future housing crunches, the new dorm is scheduled to be completed by the Fall of 1999. This residence will include 264 beds. Currently, the foundation has been laid and the block work has begun. The brick arrived last week. Also to be completed by the Fall of 1999, is the FA expansion. This expansion includes two additions. The addition to the south, the smaller of the two additions, will create more space for the art, theater, music and computer departments. The north expansion will connect the AC and FA buildings as well as create more space for c _l c as o o u many departments, mainly chemistry. Currently, the foundation is complete, and construction teams will soon begin to lay block.. Director of Physical Plant, Craig Hjelle, is working to ensure that continued on page 2 ROAD WORK .AHEAD
