What can Phil do for you?

 - 

“We would rather re­port to 10 false calls than have you dis­cover a miss­ing lap­top or iPod,” said Phil Jerome, di­rec­tor of Cam­pus Safety. It is Cam­pus Safe­ty’s goal to help stu­dents feel safe at all times, but there are sim­ple steps that can go a long way in pr... More »


Ben­e­fits of a Bethel I.D.

 - 

As we reg­is­tered for classes here at Bethel Col­lege, we sat and smiled for the cam­era as our photo was taken for our stu­dent I.D. card. With this card stu­dents that are liv­ing on cam­pus can gain ac­cess to al­most any build­ing. An abun­dance of food no more than ... More »

 - 

Al­though Bethel in­ter­na­tional stu­dents are re­cruited from all over the world they are of­ten de­nied the priv­i­lege of liv­ing on cam­pus for most va­ca­tions. Even if they re­ceive ap­proval to live on cam­pus dur­ing va­ca­tions, they have lim­ited eat­ing op­tions. The Aco... More »

How to harm­lessly creep

 - 

We all do it. We watch peo­ple. It’s called peo­ple-watch­ing. There are those who claim this ac­tiv­ity for their own per­sonal hobby while oth­ers just ob­serve with­out much rea­son. In these acts of ob­ser­va­tion, a per­son learns many things. A girl in her pe­rusal of ... More »

It’s a safety is­sue

 - 

How does tak­ing away 10 of the for­mer 18 speed bumps pro­tect us? This is a ques­tion that has been on my mind since I came back to cam­pus. I un­der­stand that it is more con­ve­nient for dri­vers and eas­ier on our cars, but with the high per­cent­age of foot traf­fic i... More »
