do not fold spindle oo mutilate At present we occupy eight acres in St. Paul but we spill over onto a new 214 acre campus where we have a dorm for 120 students. On the present campus there are three residence halls offering comfortable rooms plus recreational and lounging facilities. Two administrative-classroom buildings, a 65,000 volume library, and a gymnasium are also part of the present college complex which is located in the midway area near both Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Dining Hall in Bodien Residence is the principal food service for every meal except Sunday evening. All students in college residences participate in what we call a meal contract plan. There are general principles by which student behavior is guided at Bethel. Hopefully, legalism and negativism is avoided as much as possible in order to place primary stress upon personal vital relationship to Jesus Christ as Lord. At the same time, certain cautions have been highlighted in universal Biblical principles. The application of these principles has led to the identification of certain social practices which are detrimental to the common good at Bethel. These include immoral conduct, the possession or use of alcoholic beverages, infringing on the rights of others, gambling, the possession, or use of narcotics or hallucinogenic drugs, including marijuana, the improper use of substances broadly defined as stimulants and depressants, and the use of tobacco in any form. A student s disregard for—violation of—these social standards at Bethel will result in appropriate disciplinary action. Eight different sports are conductec on the varsity level, while hockey and soccer are offered on a club basis We have three touring choral groups, the Women’s Choir, the Male Chorus, and College Choir. In recent years, both the Male Chorus and the College Choir have toured Europe. A Newspaper (Clarion), a literary journal (Coeval), and a year book (Spire)are staffed by student writers and photographers. The Student Senate is the governing body which exercises a general control of student affairs. It coordinates activities of college life through a series of student committees and appoints representatives to serve on joint faculty-student committees. Many students find the opportunities for Christian service a very rewarding part of their Bethel experience. The number and variety of opportunities for Christian service is limitless. Financial assistance is available in the following areas: Scholarships. Grants, loans. Special Awards, and Employment. Freshman Scholarship-$200 to $900, a 3.0 honor point ratio: Ministerial Grant-$200; National Defense Student Loan; Minority Grant. The school employs about 300 students during the school year; they work in the food service, dormitories, etc. Starting pay is $1.65 per hour. No student who is regularly registered at Bethel College may take courses at other institutions, either in summer school or through extension or in residence, with out the permission of the Registrar. Graduation Honors.
