Wednesday, ApriU, 2004 'Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour" Volume 79 * Number M /2- Outside the Bubble Timothy Goddard Editor-in-Chief World In some of the heaviest fighting in months, Coalition troops in Iraq are battling militants in several Iraqi cities. The fighting comes as Coalition forces move to cordon off and pacify the city of Falluja, where four US civilians were killed last week, and as followers of young and radical Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr have attempted to take control of some cities Nation White House National Security Advisor Condaleeza Rice will testify before the Senate. 9/11 commission on April 8, after President Bush allowed her to do so, which he had previously refused. Rice was called on to,-testify after former terror advisor Richard Clarke criticized her and the overall prc-9/11 terror planning at the White House in earlier testimony. Minnesota A bill that would prevent state funding from going to organizations that perform or promote abortions has passed the Minnesota House. The bill is called the Taxpayer Protection Act, but opponents refer to it as the "Super Gag Rule" and argue that by cutting off funding to family planning clinics, it will lead to more abortions. The bill now goes to the Senate and is expected to pass. Task force unveils governing relationships Bill Lent StaffWriter As over 2,500 students gear up for the home stretch of the spring semester at Bethel College, select faculty and administration of the Academic Policy and Governance Task Force are developing the governing structure for Bethel University's College of Arts and Sciences, College of Adult and Professional Studies and the Graduate School. The latest development includes the decision to establish the Center for Graduate and Continuing Studies as a separate academic and administrative unit under the Provost. The graduate programs of both the traditional college and the CGCS will fall under the governance of the Graduate School while the undergraduate programs of the CGCS will be overseen by the College of Adult and Professional Studies. However, both the college and graduate school for the CGCS will function under the leadership of one dean as well as sharing central support services. With CGCS's recent growth and future potential, the Task Force decided that it would best be served with a more autonomous control and faculty, specializr ing in adult education. It also increases efficiency as it related to emerging educational departments and fiscal management. "We've needed to develop a separate identity for CGCS that will help it take the next steps," said Provost Jay Barnes. "We need people whose passion is working With adult students, people who believe in a 'best practice' adult learner model...[and also] for CGCS to make its own decisions on academic matters." In order to avoid divergence of purpose between the two colleges, departments will be united "wherever possible" according to the Bethel U update rather than setting up parallel departments in each college. Department chairs in each college will report to both theDcan of the CGCS as well as the Dean of the college. Furthermore, load sheets - classes taught by the professor that semester - will go to both deans in order to coordinate with department chairs prior to finalization. Amidst all of the centralization and decentralization of governance, administration and faculty involved with the name change have not been hesitant to voice the contuiued commitment to the mission and values of Bethel College. In a letter written to Bethel parents in April, Barnes laid out the "distinctives" that will not be compromised before, during and after the university shift. ■ First, Bethel will maintain its affiliation with the Baptist General Conference as well as the "integration of faith and learning." Secondly, all students, faculty and administration will still be required to sign the Shared Covenant for Life Together. Finally, the letter notes that faculty will remain "dedicated to careers in the classroom and laboratory, working closely with students firsthand" rather than overemphasizing personal research. The race is on Lyndsay Hunt Copy Editor Electing the next president is already a hot topic across the country. From television ads to public appearances, the campaign is on. In the midst of the rhetoric and mudslinging, there are serious issues at hand, including education, health care, the war in Iraq, taxes and the economy. For each major at Bethel, there is at least one issue that will influence the pay rate, the cost of living, or the working conditions of that career. For example, each nominee has a stance on health care, which effects the nursing and pre-med majors. President George W. Bush believes that insurance should remain privatized and that insurance companies should compete. The Democratic nominee, Senator John Kerry, on the other hand. believes that the government should reimburse employers who provide health insurance to their workers.

One such piece of legislation was the No Child Left Behind Act. This legislation could have some very serious implications for the future educator. While both candidates approve of it, they disagree with its implementation. Bush believes that the program is strong and effective, just as it is.
