Today is Blog Action Day, when online bloggers around the world will come together to publish their thoughts on the issue of poverty.
"On October 15th bloggers everywhere will publish posts that discuss poverty in some way. By all posting on the same day we aim to change the conversation that day, to raise awareness, start a global discussion and add momentum to an important cause"
Which is all well and good, right? All of us want to make a positive difference, whether it's cycling, recycling, doing a sponsored handstand or even something like buying Fair Trade chocolate to ease our conscience. Then there's championing a political cause or a candidate for office, all part of our democratic rights as citizens.
This is where musicians come in. Rightly or wrongly, there are very few people in the world who have the appeal and influence of pop stars; they create column inches for the print and online press and are easily identifiable to the public. Unfortunately, they often decide to bestow their opinions on us.
If the average Joe from Amersham runs a blog they may get a few thousand hits, but if Bob Geldof puts on a gig or Paul David Hewson (Bono to you, me, and his mum) speaks, half the world and his wife listens to what this self-appointed messiah of our time has to say. The other half is shaking his hand and patting his back. Bono has even been elevated to such a status that everyone's favourite Alaskan "hockey mom", Sarah Palin, was due to meet him last month to discuss world poverty, the day after she met Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.

Across the pond we've had acts like The Beastie Boys, The Mae-Shi, The Black Lips and Vampire Weekend all announcing shows in support of Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama. Are people going to be swayed by this? Is there a voter somewhere in America thinking "I was gonna go for McCain, but now MCA's gunning for Barack there's no choice!"? It'd also be a little more surprising if they were turning out for McCain. Eddie Van Halen got into a bit of a huff recently when John McCain (whose running mate's youngest son's name is Trig Paxson Van Palin - sounds like Van Halen, geddit?) used their 1991 hit 'Right Now' at the Republican National Congress, just as he did when George W. Bush did so four years previously. Rebellion and radicalism has become a predictable part of the rock 'n' roll mentality and it is really no understatement to say that it is more radical today to be a right-wing musician than a left-wing one, and as a result we're often left with musicians trotting out the same old clichéd guff about politics, chirping in with "Fuck Bush!" between songs.
Of course, some people don't take kindly to pop stars shoving the issue of third world hunger down our gullets, especially when the pop stars who are preaching are so bloated on the fruits of their own labours. Many would also prefer not to see musicians use poverty as a vehicle for feeding their own egos rather than the world. Even the thousands who turned up at Live8 weren't exactly united behind one political cause of making poverty history; it was more likely that they fancied a day out and grasped with both wristbanded hands the chance to see 'Bedshaped' live. It'll take a bit more than slogans and singing to impact on global poverty.

But whilst there are musicians whose political endeavours are an exercise in self-promotion and ego-inflation, there are also those for whom politics is pretty much the raison d'etre for the music - see Rage Against The Machine. But how bloody boring would they be without the politics? Does this make them any more qualified to comment on politics though? No, and just because there's a bloke from Essex with a guitar singing about the Unions, it doesn't mean he knows any more than the crusty old tramp shouting at you every week outside Sainsburys, and many musicians' attempts are often far more cringeworthy than some drunken fool's.
That's not to say music and politics are always a bad combination. Sometimes music is more than just preaching, and more than 15 year old kids sticking two fingers up to 'the man' and pissing off their parents. Often music is a snapshot of the political climate of the time (see: Punk, rock 'n' roll and countless other genres), and can genuinely tune into the feelings of a group of people or even a nation at a particular time for a particular reason. There's more than just getting up on stage in Hyde Park or appearing in an Amnesty Ad to mixing music with politics.
Maybe there will be a day when we won't have to put up with the guilt-laced ramblings of failing and failed pop and rock stars trying to "make a difference". But until then, we're just going to have to put up with the pomposity and wait to see if anyone still remembers the words to 'I Don't Like Mondays' in 2025.

OCEAN CITY — The Ocean City Police Department's narcotics unit, in collaboration with allied agencies, late last month concluded a two-year drug distribution investigation utilizing an undercover officer posing as a taxi cab driver and owner with the grand jury indictments of 34 local residents on 91 charges.
Last week, the OCPD announced cursory information about Operation Sand Dollar, a two-year undercover operation targeting drug trafficking in the resort area during which an undercover officer posed as a cab driver to infiltrate Ocean City's shadowy social circles.
On Monday, OCPD Chief Bernadette DiPino, along with Worcester County Sheriff Reggie Mason, State's Attorney Beau Oglesby and Mayor Rick Meehan laid out more of the details about the operation.
During the two-year operation, the officer turned cab driver made some drug buys and sales out of the taxi, but also established connections that led to further indictments. The operation was borne out of an idea to target known drug trafficking in the downtown area. After brainstorming, the OCPD came up with the idea of posing an undercover officer as the owner and operator of a legitimate cab company.
With the cooperation of the city, including former City Manager Dennis Dare, the cab, called the "Tipsy Taxi," was completely legitimate including a taxi medallion.
"The undercover officer posing as a cab driver and owner was a good way to infiltrate the social circle," said DiPino on Monday. "It's often a primary mode of transportation for those involved in drug trafficking."
After conducting Operation Sand Dollar for two years, the gathered information was turned over to the State's Attorney's Office and on Jan. 25, a Worcester County grand jury indicted 34 suspects on 91 counts of distribution of various controlled dangerous substances (CDS) and 28 charges of conspiracy to distribute CDS. DiPino said on Monday the operation targeted all forms of CDS distribution, but the primary focus was on the distribution of illegal prescription medication.
On Feb. 2, the OCPD narcotics unit, along with the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team, began rounding up the indicted suspects. Thus far, 22 have been apprehended and four more were already in custody on unrelated charges. Information on the remainder of the wanted suspects has been forwarded to the Maryland State Apprehension Team. The total amount of preset bonds for those already in custody totaled $4.55 million.
DiPino praised the success of the operation and hopes it sends a message to dealers and users in the resort.
"We hope this sends a clear message to drug dealers and users to keep the activity out of our community," she said. "You never know who an undercover officer might be. It could be the maid in your hotel, a bartender or even a street performer on the Boardwalk."
DiPino said those targeted included local residents engaged in drug use and distribution. DiPino said the operation did not include tourists.
"The list includes many locals," she said. "At no time were tourists targeted."
For his part, Mason said the operation could be the tip of the iceberg and promised similar operations in the future.
"We will continue to go after drug users and dealers," said Mason. "You're going to see a lot more to come."
Mason said he hoped Operation Sand Dollar sent a clear message to users and dealers in Worcester County.
"This is obvious proof there is an absolute commitment to target users and dealers in Worcester County," he said. "If you're a dealer, get a new job. If you're a user, get a new hobby."
DiPino said the OCPD worked closely with the city on setting up a legitimate cab company complete with one of the town's limited number of taxi medallions.
"We had our own cab company and our own medallion with a fleet of one," she said. "Many of the arrests came from buys. The undercover officer made drug deals, but also gathered information about dealing activity."
The Tipsy Taxi did operate as a normal cab company and picked up and dropped off fares. However, the money earned was reinvested into the operation, according to DiPino.
"We didn't make any money on the operation," she said. "Any money that we did make on transporting normal fares was put back into the operation. We actually used more money than what we took in."
Obviously, the identity of the undercover officer turned cab driver has not been made public and it is uncertain if he will remain an active member of the department in a different capacity. DiPino praised the officer for his dedication and said the department had received threats on him.
"The officer did an outstanding job and spent a tremendous amount of time and made an enormous sacrifice being undercover for two years," she said. "A lot of people might be surprised if they knew his identity. We're going to protect this officer, just as we do all of our officers."
All in all, the operation led to 34 indictments and 119 total counts including 91 distribution charges and 28 conspiracy to distribute charges. Sixteen of the 34 suspects list Ocean City as their address, while seven others call Worcester County home. Twenty-two suspects have been apprehended, while four were already in custody on unrelated charges. The remaining suspects were still at large as of mid-week.
Among those apprehended already were Ronald Alimo, 51, Ocean City; Jonathan Grubbs, 23, Willards; Troy Middleton, 41, Ocean City; Charlene Chester, 47, Ocean City; James Camper, 49, Trappe; Glynnis Sullivan, 54, Ocean City; Robert Hayes, Sr., 44, Ocean City; Orean Kennedy, 52, Ocean City; Dawn Ramaska, 34, Ocean City; James Hudson, 49, Showell; Robert Ray, Sr., 53, Ocean City; Donald Collins, 53, Ocean City; Mary Baker, 55, Ocean City; Stacy Baker, 38, Ocean City; Guy Erbe, 52, Ocean Pines; Cheryl Merendino, 49, Ocean City; Stanley Layton, Jr., 53, Ocean City; Vernon Spence, 46, Snow Hill; and Robin McCready, 50, Pocomoke.
Those already in custody on unrelated charges included Miranda Florio, 24, Jessup; Lorenzo Sears, 41, Oak Hall, Va.; and Brian Harmon, 39, Westover.
Those indicted but still at large included James Leech, 50, Berlin; John Leo Parker, 57, Bishopville; Darryl Lee Whaley, 55, Berlin; Geraldine Woodland, 49, Ocean City; Christopher Denike, 32, Ocean City; Michael Rose, 54, Ocean City; Paul Francis, 32, Glenwood, Md.; David Allen Brown, 44, Baltimore; Kathy Matthews, 40, Rivera Beach; and Robert Gross, Jr., 43, Kensington, Md.

That unique Waiheke Island flavour
Waiheke Island attracts travellers and holidaymakers from around the globe, it still retains its pristine natural beauty, tranquillity and unique character
1 / 5
Many of the world's most beautiful islands have suffered from the seasonal influx of tourists en masse. Not Waiheke Island, in the Hauraki Gulf of New Zealand.
Although the Island attracts travellers and holidaymakers from around the globe, it still retains its pristine natural beauty, tranquillity and unique character. "Slow down, you're here", a road sign warns visitors driving off the vehicular ferry – and that attitude partly explains what makes Waiheke so delightful.
An amazingly diverse community of artists, winemakers, farmers, entrepreneurs, gardeners and alternative lifestyle seekers have come to live here, drawn by Waiheke's absolute "islandness". You can visit some of them in their studios, vineyards and gardens, admire their work, sample and buy their produce.
A good example is Rangihoua Estate, New Zealand's most awarded olive producer. Olive oil tasting is growing in popularity, and the distinctive grassy, peppery taste on a chunk of fresh bread seems to go particularly well with the local wines. Lavender also grows abundantly on the Island, and you'll find its fragrant products for sale at the Ostend Market and various gift shops. Then there's Ringawera, Franco's and Helios, local breadmakers who are world famous on Waiheke – enjoy their breads with some locally made green herb spread, hot tamarind chutney or wild manuka honey.
But it's the wine industry that has really put Waiheke on the international map, and since the late 1970s has grown from three boutique wineries to more than 30 vineyards. The Mediterranean climate and "small is beautiful" philosophy of the Island's winemakers produces low quantities of extremely high quality fruit, which is made into award-winning wines, notably the big Bordeaux-style reds (but there are many other varietals successfully grown here too).
For lovers of the "great outdoors", there's plenty of wild territory to explore. Pockets of original and regenerating native bush, picturesque coastal tracks, gorgeous sandy beaches and rocky foreshores are just a few of the options. Throngs of birds are everywhere – even around the main village of Oneroa you often hear the "phhit-phhit-phhit" of kereru (wood pigeons) swooping overhead, a cacophony of tui calls and the melodious "deedle-de-deedle-deedle-dee" of riro riro (grey warblers).
As you listen to their music, sip a glass of Waiheke wine and gaze across the sea to the craggy contours of Coromandel or the outer Gulf islands, you can easily understand why so many have come for a day and ended up living here. Prepare to be utterly bewitched.
Best of Waiheke in a day: Experience it with Ananda Tours, the Island's premium personalised tour company, with a team of entertaining and knowledgeable guides (all of whom have completed a Bob Campbell Diploma course and are wine enthusiasts themselves).

One of the biggest problems when installing a subwoofer system is the amount of cargo space we have to give up for the enclosure. Sure there are special shallow mount subwoofers available, but more often than not they also have shallow performance. There are also a plethora of "shallow mount" subwoofers out there that mount in four inches of depth, but most still need plenty of enclosure volume to work well. This results in a shallow, long and tall enclosure, still requiring quite a bit of cargo space.
This fact has not escaped the product development folks over at Audiomobile. In an effort to create a subwoofer that not only works in a very small enclosure, but also provides the sound quality and power handling you'd expect from a full-size woofer, they have introduced the GTS series. These subwoofers represent a different approach to solve the small box problem. Rather than simply create a subwoofer that will physically mount in a minimum amount of depth, they focused on a building a subwoofer that truly works in a small volume enclosure. To get an idea of how successfully they accomplished the goal, Matt Overpeck, Audiomobile VP of Sales and Marketing, graciously provided a couple of the ten inch GTS 2110 subwoofers and two different types of enclosures for me to use in my evaluation.
The GTS 2110 subwoofers are rated for 400 watts of continuous power, with an MSRP of $249.95 (USD).
At first glance, the custom-tooled, six-spoke, fully-vented steel basket does not appear to be the typical shallow mount subwoofer with a squashed frame. Rather, the basket design of the GTS appears to be closely related to a conventional subwoofer. But with its 4.5-inch mounting depth, it's obvious that fitment in small shallow enclosures was intended.
The GTS subwoofer is driven by a large 150 mm (5.9-inch) magnet assembly, connected to the basket by machined, low carbon steel top and bottom plates. The bottom plate is non-vented using a solid t-yoke to allow tight fitment to the interior wall of the enclosure. Cooling for the subwoofer is handled by what Audiomobile refers to as "FAB-RAC," or Forced Air Bi-Radial Asymmetric Convection. This means the subwoofer frame and its six "Delta" vents are designed so the motion of the moving assembly causes airflow past the coil, with the venting allowing cool air to enter, and heated air to escape.
The voice coil in the GTS 2110 subwoofer is a full two-inch, six-layer, pure copper coil, wound on a Kapton former. Using a high-mass coil allows the subwoofer to handle higher power levels and reduce the Vas, which helps reduce the required box volume. The loss of efficiency as a result of the higher mass is compensated by the additional power handling – and we all know power is pretty cheap these days.
The subwoofer spider moves the coil to a critical location in the magnetic gap, as well as compliance for excursion control. To that end, the Audiomobile designers chose a large eight-inch diameter progressive design, made of a Nomex/poly-cotton hybrid material. The spider also locates the integrated tinsel leads, which get electrical signals from a pair of spring-loaded terminals that accept eight-gauge wire. Because of their continuous focus on sound quality, a special aluminum shorting that the company calls a "Flux Stabilization Device" reduces the effects of voice coil inductance modulation, based on voice coil position. The result is improved transient response and reduced distortion.
The cone shape and material used in the GTS series comes directly from the higher-end Elite series woofers that we had the pleasure of reviewing several months ago. These cones are made from a special material referred to as "CLS" or Composite Laminated Sandwich. No less than six layers of synthetic fiber, Kevlar, and natural fibers are pressed into a rigid parabolic shape, secured by a one piece dust cap on top to increase overall strength and stiffness. Another design cue from the Elite series is the use of a nitrile butadiene rubber surround.
The subwoofers were supplied to me with a one-half cubic foot sealed enclosure and a fourth-order bandpass enclosure that measured about 1.1 cubic feet. This allowed me to set up the subwoofers side by side and switch between them to hear the differences between the two enclosures. My listening began with a couple of old favorites for subwoofer evaluation, Rickie Lee Jones's "Danny's All Star Joint", and Wayne Pedzwaters fantastic solo on Thom Rotella's "Friends." The bass from the GTS 2110 in the sealed box was smooth, with exceptional detail in the plucked bass notes, while the kick drum was full of life.
Switching to the bandpass enclosure provided significantly greater output, but as you'd expect the detail was reduced – the sound lost some of the natural timbre I heard in the sealed version. With either enclosure, tracks like Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax", sounded deep and strong and the subwoofer easily handled the power as I turned things up. I was putting well over 400 watt peaks power into the subwoofer, with no complaints. Billy Idol's "Prodigal Son," which has some continuous low frequency synthesizers and a well-recorded kick drum, was reproduced with authority and clarity. For this track I preferred the bandpass enclosure.
The bottom line on enclosure selection is simple, if you prefer uncompromised sound quality and critical listening, the sealed enclosure is your best choice. On the other hand, if your personal tastes are more oriented to bass-output, the bandpass enclosure will make you a happy camper. Audiomobile has managed to develop a subwoofer than not only will work well in small enclosures, but by changing enclosure type, it can also be used to satisfy a wide variety of user preferences.
On the Bench
After my listening session was over, I let the subwoofers cool and normalize overnight. The next morning I measured the Thiele-Small parameters. As I expected from Audiomobile, the published numbers are very accurate and can be used for modeling without reservation. As expected, the 10-inch subwoofer has high Mms, low Vas and a low resonant frequency, which is needed for proper operation in a very small enclosure.

I have to give credit where it's due and this subwoofer rates as "mission accomplished." It sounds better than I expected in a very small box and, unlike many of the shallow subwoofers available, it isn't shy when it comes to applying some real power. It's well engineered and rugged, so it should provide years of enjoyment without taking up all of your cargo space. If you are looking for a subwoofer that will work in tight spaces, but have been unwilling to compromise on sound quality and power handling, the GTS series may be exactly what you've been waiting for.

turned to the business at hand.
First on the agenda was a dis-cussion
of the revision of the Stu-dent
Senate constitution. Al point-ed
out that the present constitu-tion
will not hinder effective gov-ernment,
but that revisions can
promote many improvements. A
motion was made and carried to
if ask Norris Ma nuson and his
commit ee to present a summary
of the situation at the next Sen-ate
The meeting time of the Sen-ate
was changed to enable all or a
majority of members to attend.
Hereafter, the group will meet on
Tuesday evenings at 7:00.
A letter of resignation from
Beverly Carlson, recording secre-tary,
was read and accepted. After
some discussion of the necessary
qualifications for the person re-placing
Miss Carlson, nominations
were made and approved.
All who are interested in writing for print are invited to the
first Writing Workshop -t-o--1,e, tonight at 7:00 p.m. in room 211 of the
college building. Dr. Virginia Lowell Grabill, chairman of the English
Department, will be the instructor of the course. Dr. Grabill has back-ground
in journalism, including former editorship of HIS magazine, the
well-known Inter-Varsity publication.
The workshop, the first of its kind on our campus, will meet for
three successive Tuesday evenings, beginning tonight. The course is
open to freshmen and upperclassmen alike, but will not take the place
of the regular journalism class. The class will include instruction in
the art of editorial writing, and in feature and news reporting. There--,
will aLso be work on newspaper layout and makeup.
Following this course, those who are now on the Clarion staff
will be appointed to definite positions. The workshop, besides acquaint-ing
students with newspaper work and journalistic techniques, will also
introduce the standards that the Clarion has set up in producing our
paper. a significant lecture series on current trends in theology at Founders'

The Clarion Tuesday, September 20, 1955
The First the Hardest
The first editorial—just like the whole first issue is hard
to produce. Among the reasons for this is that the CLARION—
and its staff is being introduced to you. This is your first im-pression.
If this impression is good, no worries. But, if this im-pression
is bad, the CLARION won't be read. What worse thing
could happen to a newspaper?
This first editorial is also like an advertisement, a testimony,
or the platform of a political party. Anything the CLARION says
can be used against us later. If the CLARION is supposed to be
accurate but makes hash out of a simple news story, you may
feel free to toss the CLARION unread into the nearest waste-basket
from now on.
Finally this editorial is a pacesetter, a picture of things to
expect—the model for the whole year. There will be some changes,
of course, but for the most part, this is its the CLARION. Each
staff member knows that our standards must be highs clarity,
honesty, accuracy. Those are upper division words that can be
defined as plain talk that's straight to the point and, so far as
we know, the straight truth.
Well, I hope you like the CLARION. And I hope you realize
that the CLARION is your servant. Your job is to keep the
CLARION doing that job right.
French or Swedish
It has been the practice at Bethel for some years to offer the
choice of Swedish, German, or Spanish to fulfill the language re-quirements
for graduation. Why is it that Swedish, which is used only
in Scandinavia, is taught to the exclusion of French ? French not
only is required for many advanced degrees, but also has a vast and
important literature and is used all over the world. Of the 42 liberal
arts colleges whose catalogs of course descriptions are on file in
our library, 41 teach French, and usually French literature as well.
The lone exception is Bethel College of Saint Paul, Minnesota.
It wasn't always so. In the years from 1946 to 1949, a two year
course of French was offered. But a different teacher had the class
every year; evidently it was always treated like a poor relation.
Now we have no bone to pick with the language department for
teaching Swedish, or with any Swede who want to preserve his be-loved
tongue. (After all, Swedish is well-known to be the language
of heaven.) Probably it belongs in a school where the old country tra-dition
is still so strong. But the modern language curriculum as it
is now is certainly lop-sided.
With the curriculum expanding and new courses busting out all
over, can't we have an improvement in this area too ?
What Is Cultural Council
If Axel, last year's satirical chimpanzee of the CLARION, were
to investigate the functional and organizational set-up of the Cultural
Council, his expose would be another notorious episode of life at Bethel.
To prevent the axe, just what is the Cultural Council ? It's an
organization established by the Student Senate to develop an aware-ness,
appreciation, and integration of the fine arts into students lives
through association and participation.
This doesn't mean the establishment of a "Gestapo" to check ties
and hose on dress-up night, or the interrogation of an unshaved odd-ball
attending classes in odoriferous clothes. Rather, the Council hopes
to develop an appreciation for dress-up night and an awareness that
it's possible to be considered an unshaved odd-ball at Bethel.
Several innovations are being incorporated for this year's pro-gram
which will include films, lectures, drama, music recitals, and
semi-formal programs. Bethel now has choirs, special musical groups,
student recitals, a band, and student dramatic productions, all of which
the council is directly concerned that they might have the finest of
student reception and respect.
Projecting beyond campus boundaries, the council encourages
attendance at the multitude of cultural opportunities presented in
the Twin Cities through their artist's series and he University of Min-nesota's
artist's series.
Actually, the Cultural Council seeks to better your experience as
a Bethelite.

The chapel hour at Bethel has meant and does mean a lot of
things to students and faculty. To some it's a relieving break in the
morning grind of classes. To others it's a chance to tell so and so
about this, that, and the other. To still others it's a holy time when
they may sit in calmness and express the devotion that a loving Father
expects—devotion that doesn't have to depend on the nature of the
service, whether testimonies, a hymn sing, or just the customary serv-ive
with a speaker. Nor need that devotion wholly depend on the
speaker, even if he's not a Ph. D., a brilliant orator, or a mighty evan-gelist.
Oh, and another thing; doesn't it seem strange that a devotional
mood doesn't start until after the playing of the prelude and the sing-ing
of the first hymn?
the teacher Speaks
This isn't a teacher writing now, but you may expect one to
byline these articles from now on. Often the warped views of students
concerning their teachers, whom students name as creatures bound
to their notes and text books, cut out many a prof from anything that
smacks of co-curricular—namely the newspaper. We hope to cure
such bigotted views, in part at least, by publishing the thoughts of
the faculty on interesting and vital topics. The teachers can "pull all
the stops" as far as we're concerned, and who knows, maybe many
people will be enlightened.

Dear Editor:
I had the privilege of attending
the first Student Senate meeting
as "an outsider looking in," and
I would like to let the rest of the
campus know just what goes on.
I couldn't help but feel that this
is an organization where we can
really make ourselves known
through our representatives. The
rules made and approved will be
effective only as long as we agree
with them and back them up. This
was made clear to me through a
lively discussion on the pros and
cons of Dress Night.
As everyone knows, the fellows
are expected to wear white shirts
and ties and the girls nylons and
flats or heels to dinner on Dress
Night. I'd like to know if Bethel
students really appreciate or en-joy
this tradition and wish to con-tinue
it. Dress Night certainly
promotes an atmosphere of dig-nity
in the dining hall, but is it
hard on a student's time and
pocketbook to wear dress clothes
week-days as well as week-ends ?
Perhaps everyone would like to
extend Dress Night to two or three
nights a week. Or maybe everyone
wants to discontinue it all to-gether.
I have some definite opinions on
the subject and I'm going to see
that my Student Senate represen-tative
suggests them at the next
meeting. I'd like to see every fel-low
and girl on the campus do this,
and I'd like to read some more
letters to the editor about Dress
Dear Editor:
It's an excellent idea! I mean
the all-school picnic last Thurs-day
evening. Not only was it fit-ting
to have this kind of picnic
at the beginning of the school
year, but it was very appropriate
to have it in conjunction with
Kangaroo Court. The picnic pro-vided
an atmosphere suitable for
the court—the pavilion far more
suitable than the dining hall for
such "entertainment;" chiefly be-cause
of the space available.
As a sophomore, I realize that
the offenses committed by the
freshmen made punishment neces-sary.
I think the committee should
be commended for having some
interesting penalties provided.
However, care should be taken in
passing sentence on the offenders,
so that none of the penalties be-come
too damaging or gruesome.
This would not only benefit the
freshmen, but would aid the diges-tion
of the upperclassmen.
And a word to next year's com-mittee:
DON'T invite the mosqui-toes!

MacDonell Scores Twice
Scoring e rly on a safety and a touchdown in each of the first
two quarters, ethel's 20 man squad withstood the 90 degree tempera-ture
and Ita ca's spasmodic offense for a 14-0 victory Saturday, Sep-tember
17, at Highland Park.
Itasca received the opening kickoff and promptly fumbled on the
first play from scrimmage, Bethel recovering. After a twelve yard
Brunzell to Wessman pass, Bethel lost the ball on another fumble
on Itasca's 20 yard line. Two successive penalties against Itasca and
a poor center which bounced deep
into the end zone gave Bethel
their first points on a safety.
Itasca kicked from their twenty
and Bethel marched down to their
first touchdown. In this series of
plays another Brunzell to Wess-man
pass, this one for twenty
yards, and some fine running by
Wessman set up the score with
MacDonell going over from the
one on a power play over right
In the second quarter MacDonell
powered through the line and rac-ed
sixty yards for the final score.
The second half was a battle of
defenses and in general, much
slower play. Bethel's almost re-serveless
squad managed one sus-tained
drive but was stopped by
a penalty in the third quarter.
Itasca's offense showed only
fair ground power but threatened
to move with a short jump pass
until Lundin shifted his line-back-er
assignments and stopped the
play cold.
It was strictly a team victory
with Wessman, Tierney, Mac-
Donell and Larson all running
well. Brunzell passed superbly and
the line play was consistently ag-gressive.
The game's only sad note
was the injury to Dick Andre. He
has a possible broken collar bone
and will probably be out for the

Healy Appointed
Assistant Coach
Bethel has received a big boost
to their coaching staff in the form
of 6' 8 1/2" Jerry Healy. Our new
coach attended high school and
two years of college in River Falls,
Wisconsin. He then transferred to
Sioux Falls College from which
he graduated in 1950. Mr. Healy,
throughout his schooling, has par-ticipated
extensively in athletics
playing football, tennis, and track
in high school; and football, bas-ketball,
and tennis in college. Not
only has he played extensively,
but his experience includes four
years of high school coaching in
football, basketball, and track. His
duties, sportswise, will not only be
line coach for the football team
this fall, but will also include the
position of assistant coach in bas-ketball
this winter and track coach
in the spring.
Cheerleader Tryouts
Tomorrow Afternoon
Cheerleading tryouts will be held
at 3:15 tomorrow in the field-house.
The cheerleaders will be
chosen by a committee of faculty
and students appointed by the
Athletic council. Everyone inter-ested
may try out if he or she
fulfills these qualifications: has

Liberty is taken here to express
the thanks of the student body to
Marilyn Carlson, Pam Everburg,

Hartman who did a fine job of

4 2t1imakt's View-
Do Bethel women deserve a place in Bethel's athletic program ?
The blanks which the freshman girls filled out at registration show
a strong interest in sports participation. No doubt this is the usual
situation. But until now, the girls have had to play second fiddle to
men's intramural sports.
College sports mean as much to women as men. Yet last year the
only sports available to the girls outside of physical education was
a few weeks of volleyball. The girls had continual trouble getting the
use of the equipment and the gym. The contests were advertised only
by a pencilled piece of paper on the bulletin boards. Even the CLAR-ION
didn't run a single story on them!
Surely Bethel's women deserve as much consideration as the men
in campus sports planning—in scheduling, and in the use of facilities.
Intramurals could be organized in basketball, volleyball, softball,
badminton, ping pong, and tennis. Most girls would be interested in
at least a couple of these. Perhaps Bethel women could affiliate with
an organization such as the Women's Athletic association, which would
bring national recognition.
Well, what do you think ? Is it worth backing such an idea ? The
only way anything will be done is if you show you want something
like this.

Submits Resignation

Our Needs
Fagerstrom Returns
After Year's Study
Miss Doris Moberg, Bethel
nurse, has recently announced her
resignation, effective October 1, to
fill a position at Suburban Cook
County Tuberculosis Sanitarium
in Hinsdale, Illinois.
Her new position will be even-ing
supervisor. Suburban Cook
County Tuberculosis Sanitarium,
but a year old, at present employs
only graduate nurses.
Bethel is alma mater to Doris,
a '39 JC graduate. Before return-ing
to be school nurse, she held
positions as an industrial nurse in
California and Rockford, Illinois,
her home. And its been four years
that she has been the Bethel school
nurse. Moreover, Doris tas taken
part in school activities, in sing-ing
and most notably being part
of the "E Day" committee that
helped send Eric Borgeson, custod-ian,
and his wife to Sweden this
last summer. So Doris means much
more to Bethel than just "the
school nurse."
About her new position, Doris
believes that the persons confined
to a bed for sustained periods, as
TB patients must, need counseling
besides regular routine attention
—an appropriate place for the
Christian nurse.

"What Specific Needs Do You
Find On Our Campus ?" was the
main question asked at the first
Fall Student Leadership forum
held at 3:00 p.m. last Friday, Sep-tember
16, in the dining hall.
Walfred Peterson, assistant pro-fessor
of political science and ad-viser
to the senate, discussed the
implications of leadership on a
college campus. The responsibility
is great. A successful organization
does not merely discuss the prob-lems
facing them negatively but
further determines that they can
do something about them. Mr.
Peterson closed with these words:
"As leaders you have the capacity
to organize the campus. The cam-pus
will reflect your ability—."
After this, the whole group split
up into smaller discussion units,
such as the dormitory councils,
the class cabinets, the senate coun-cils,
and so forth. Among the
superabundance of sub-topics
brought up and considered were
school spirit, the presence or lack
of collegiate behavior, the fre-quency
or infrequency of talking
about spiritual things as friend
to friend, the existence or non-existence
of the Christ life on
campus, opportunities for leader-ship,
Missions week, Deeper Life
week, Christian Vocations week,
Homecoming, Freshman week, the
all-school picnic, the Prospective
Student days, and many more.
Al Glenn, president of Student
Senate, officiated and spoke on
the goals of the senate, prominent-ly
"that each person at Bethel
might develop Christian matur-ity."
Bud Lee, chairman of the
Religious council, led in devotions.

smaller discussions, Glenn Ogren,

It is well known wherever
sports greats are well known that
I am well known. I am a great
hero in any sport, and so I'm not
too concerned over the furor at
the beginning of each year about
intramurals. I can score no mat-er
how they play it. However, I
think it just a trifle pointless to
argue over who is going to do
what, and what is going to do who,
ad infinitive. But, being humble
in addition to all my other vir-tues,
I remain quiet as the battle
Finally the sensibleness which I
perceive in only a few besides my-self
comes to the fore, and peace
reigns as we are back to the same
old system we started with.
Everyone, I predict, will be sat-isfied
with the resulting setup.
Needless to say, my team will win
the basketball, volleyball, foot-ball,

performance alone, although I
shall admit there will be others on
my side just for appearances.

Professor Dalphy Fagerstrom, assistant professor of history, has
returned to campus after a year's leave of absence for post doctoral
studies at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His interests were
primarily in three areas: observing educational procedures, develop-ing
courses, and laying foundations for research.
In order to observe teaching
practices, Mr. Fagerstrom audited
seminar and regular college class-es
and paid special attention to
methods of presentation, teaching
devices, and the demands made on
the students. In addition, Mr.
Fagerstrom read authors in the
field of Christian higher educa-tion.
He also worked on the de-velopment
of new course lectures.
As a direct result of his studies
Mr. Fagerstrom has introduced a
new course in the college in
American social and intellectual
history, a field of special interest
to him.
Mr. Fagerstrom has also laid
foundations for original studies
which h_ e expects to occupy him
for the next several years.

After my last post, the recap of the blizzard of 2013, did you know we got another heavy storm one week later?
When it hit cape cod it was dubbed as a semi-major storm, and then as it moved up the coast towards Maine it became a blizzard?
AND, now they're saying we (the cape) might get another weekend storm? So that's three storms.
What is going on?
Tell me this is the prelude to nice, sunny, CALM, spring and summer?
If so I'll take it.
Did I tell you my cabin fever is at an all time high?
Have you ever had cabin fever?
Oh some of my friends in california don't even know the term (poor babies I should educate then firsthand right?)
I tell you, the older I get the harder it is to take these frigid winters with insane amounts of snow.
My bones, they feel weak when that blustery cold keeps hitting the body over and over.
No amount of hot showers can truly penetrate down to the bones, well, maybe a hot tub.
I had hoped to take a tax refund check and put in a bathtub or something similar one of these years, but it looks like we have other plans for that refund.
So with this last coastal storm we learned that we have a few trees that have to come down before hurricane season starts.
It's funny because one of the main reasons I bought this house was the fact that the previous owner had cleared a fair amount of the land of trees.
If you live on cape cod you know that wind is always a factor here and having trees close to the house is dangerous.
We have a couple trees left that aren't right up close to the house, but close enough that if they fell they'd do some damage.
But the main reason that I want to clear more trees is that I saw the aftermath of what fallen trees did to other peoples homes and it scared me. Can you imagine a tree falling on your house? Going right through the home? In the middle of winter, a giant hole in your house?
Where do you go? A hotel? And for how long? And surely your insurance won't cover it all?
It's scary when you really think it through. So all this and more is going through my head; aka the clutter and noise in my head.
With my tax refund I was hoping to save away for a nice half-house generator or a whirlpool tub. Ahhh a tub to soak my old bones...yeah, not going to happen.
How many more days till summer?
With these tasty gluten free blondies keep in mind they are moist, very moist, tasty too.
I might have under-baked a bit, which is fine by me, but just watch the baking times; I think I should have added on another 4-5 minutes of baking time.
You don't have to add in the nuts, I did for texture and the buttery taste of the batter just begged for the addition of the pecans.
To be honest, I prefer the taste of almond meal over flour--it truly adds a nice flavor.
I just wish almond meal wasn't so expensive; I need to make my own.

Oh, so excited to try these! So glad you are doing some gf baking! Your recipes always rock!!! Thank you!ReplyDelete
If my college roommate studying meterology was right, what happens down here in the Lower 48 is things start to get into weekly weather patterns. Which explains the weekly snow dumps. We had the same problem down here the winter of 2010. The streets just kept getting narrower and narrower b/c there was no where to put the snow!ReplyDelete
Great recipe! Just found out a coworker is Celiacian. I'll have to file this one away for the next time we get a snow day and I bake treats for the office the next day ;-)
Looks yummy! You can buy almond flour in bulk at Honeyville online - it has an even smoother texture than Bob's Red Mill and they have sales on it often. :)ReplyDelete
Winter will be over soon, but maybe not soon enough.ReplyDelete
ugh- more snow? Are you kidding ! Ridiculous! Make more delicious baked goods to keep you companyReplyDelete
Stay warm - it sounds hideous there! And have a blondie for me. They look scrumptious! Good job on making them GF, which can be hard with baking!ReplyDelete
The blondies look great! Our winter hasn't been half as bad as yours but I still hate it. Everyday I talk about how I want to move. It sounds stupid but I want nothing more than to be able to take a nice warm walk outside.ReplyDelete
When it snows it blizzards. ;) Michigan and the Windy City see their fair share too, although not quite so raw. I know that feeling of never being completely warm...I think the worst moment is turning off the shower. Burr!!!ReplyDelete
Luckily you have these scrumptious bars for comfort (I like my oven treats slightly under-baked too!).
Hang in there, spring is just over the horizon. xo
When I was young (don't you hate it when people my age say that?) storms like these were the norm. Our entire winters in Michigan were like this. I just don't get the naming of them. The weather channel must need to put some umph into their reporting.ReplyDelete
Anyway....LOVE almond flour anything and these look fabulous!
This year has been quite a doozy for you guys! I would definitely be happy with a much calmer spring/summer...and a batch of these blondies!ReplyDelete
you don't buy almond meal at joe's? 1.99 for a bag, pretty cheap to me! yes, i am not looking forward to more snow... although i know you guys have had it worse :( come up to boston to weather the storm and we'll do some baking!ReplyDeleteReplies
no! I never saw it there!Delete
will go back and check again, I might have missed it.
I am sorry for all the storms you keep having to deal with Dawn! Cabin fever is the worst! The blondies look amazing as usual.ReplyDelete
Woah, woah, woah. I'd like to be trapped inside with a pan of these gems - totally amazeballs.ReplyDelete
yum! that middle part with all the chopped pecans would be what i'd dig into first. the edges can wait. :)ReplyDelete

The Secrets of Happy Families
- Don't worry about family dinner.
- Let your kids pick their punishments.
- Ditch the sex talk.
- Cancel date night.
These are just a few of the surprising innovations in this bold first-of-its-kind playbook for today's families. Best-selling author and New York Times family columnist Bruce Feiler found himself squeezed between caring for aging parents and raising his children. So he set out on a three-year journey to find the smartest solutions and the most cutting-edge research about families. Instead of the usual family "experts", he sought out the most creative minds - from Silicon Valley to the set of Modern Family, from the country's top negotiators to the Green Berets - and asked them what team-building exercises and problem-solving techniques they use with their families. Feiler then tested these ideas with his wife and kids. The result is a fun, original look at how families can draw closer together, complete with 200 never-before-seen best practices.
Feiler's life-changing discoveries include a radical plan to reshape your family in 20 minutes a week, Warren Buffett's guide for setting an allowance, and the Harvard handbook for resolving conflict. The Secrets of Happy Families is a timely, counterintuitive book that answers the questions countless parents are asking: How do we manage the chaos of our lives? How do we teach our kids values? How do we make our family happier?
Written in a charming, accessible style, The Secrets of Happy Families is smart, funny, and fresh, and will forever change how your family lives every day.

Well worth reading, even if you can't do it all!
Any additional comments?
This is a practical guide to things that work for families. It is not a 'therapist' type guide, where research has been done...kind of book. Just what works for real people, in real & imperfect lives. I liked that, because that describes the kind of families I know.
I think he does a nice job discussing what makes these methods work, and how the families benefit. Also, he does point out how his wife is not impressed by his 'ideas' and often is not a willing participant, but then finds the methods draw the couple, as well as the family, together. Really, it is all about doing things together, making everyone feel they are an important part of a team, that really matters.
It is an easy listen as an audio, nice & simple pdf comes with it, and if you just put a few of the ideas into place, as I have done so far, you will likely see instant success. And what could matter more than greater happiness at home!

Very Enjoyable
I looked up the author's previous books before spending a credit on this one. I must say, I was worried that this book would be too preachy because some of Feiler's other publications had strong religious themes. It was not preachy at all. Listening to this book was more like having a casual conversation with a friend about family life. The author pulled ideas from various sources, including business men, military leaders, coaches, and his own family experiences and presented them as short stories and lessons. Every lesson won't apply to every family but I think the book was well written and researched and it was worth listening to.

Definitely kept me intrigued and listening !
Would you listen to The Secrets of Happy Families again? Why?
Yes. I'm not a frequent REPEATER ... dont watch movies or listen to books more than once very often... but I will definitely with this one simply because the information was so vast, there was no way to soak it all in with just 1 listen. The 2nd time through I'm guessing I will gain more because it wont be as much information overload/
What did you like best about this story?
The way the author took such a personal interest in his own family and wanting to improve himself. This wasnt about telling everyone else what they should do .. but more conveying what he found worked for him/them .. then lets the reader decide what they liked and didnt like.
Which scene was your favorite?
When the author discussed working out the daily routines / rituals to bring each other together and cut down on the chaos that occurs day to day in the home and among the family members.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the author talked about throwing out some of the standard relationship / family advice, and some of the common mundane practices, like Date Night, and a set dinner time, etc .... it opens your mind to other possibilities and makes you excited to try some yourself.
Any additional comments?
Great book... well written. Well read .... just all around entertaining and light... yet in depth enough to make you want more.

great resource, jammed packed with useful ideas
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
while at times, this work seemed like a mash up of what could be ten different books, it does a great job of highlighting the work of many other creative types and writers- pointing to lots of research, but not letting that bog down the message. Feiler does a nice job of boiling down the essence of many other sources to manageable highlights and how they play into his overarching goal for this book. highly recommended not only for families wanting to move toward happy, healthy, enriching life together, but to those looking for help with finances, team building at work, rising above the microscopic level of daily life and hearing the call to more fulfilling, rewarding experiences in general.
Any additional comments?
love it! will buy the print copy to have as a quick reference back to the many many great ideas and will also relisten to the audio version as well!

Couldn't get past author's performance
What did you like best about The Secrets of Happy Families? What did you like least?
some good advice from a variety of experts as related by Mr. Feller
Has The Secrets of Happy Families turned you off from other books in this genre?
Would you be willing to try another one of Bruce Feiler's performances?
No. This probably would work better for me in written format. From the "Hey Mom" on I found his read grating. He's probably very good at what he does, but most of these authors - with a few notable exceptions like Ken Robinson and David McCollugh (sp), should leave it to the pros.
Was The Secrets of Happy Families worth the listening time?
At times, but too many personal stories (the food in the fridg) that left me fast forwarding...

Really fun read!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes because it looks at the "family" unit in a way we haven't before.
What did you like best about this story?
The different approach Bruce Feiler took to research how functional families work.
What does Bruce Feiler bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Hear this read by Bruce Feiler makes it feel more like a discussion with the listener than just reading the book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Realizing that we are moving into unchartered territory in our technology driven world and that we need to rethink how to connect with our children and one another as a family.
Any additional comments?
This book was not just informative, it was fun to listen to and I am going to try many of the suggestions!

Wireless LAN
Greater Mobility for Your Business
Learn how a wireless LAN can offer your business greater productivity and cost-savings, with more convenient access to tools and resources.
What Is a Wireless LAN?
A wireless LAN (Local Area Network) allows you to connect your computers without wires or cables. With a wireless LAN, employees can have easy, convenient access to documents, emails, applications, and other network resources, so they can roam anywhere. A wireless LAN makes this easy by using radio waves to let mobile devices connect and communicate within a certain area.
Wireless LAN Benefits
A wireless LAN offers both short-term and long-term benefits, including:
- Convenience: All notebook computers and many mobile phones are equipped with the WiFi technology to connect directly to a wireless LAN. Employees can use a wireless LAN to securely access your network resources from any location within your facility.
- Mobility: Employees can stay connected to the network through a wireless LAN, even when they are not at their desks. People in meetings can access documents and applications with a wireless LAN. Salespeople can use a wireless LAN to check the network for important details from any location.
- Productivity: A wireless LAN offers staff and others convenient access to information and your company's important applications. Visitors (such as customers, contractors, or vendors) can use a wireless LAN for secure guest access to the Internet and to their business data.
- Ease of Setup: Since a wireless LAN does not require running physical cables through a location, installation can be quick and cost-effective. A wireless LAN also makes it easier to bring network connectivity to hard-to-reach locations, such as a warehouse or factory floor.
- Scalability: A wireless LAN can typically expand with existing equipment, while a wired network might require additional cables and other materials.
- Security: Controlling and managing access to your wireless LAN is important to its success. Advances in WiFi technology provide robust security protection, so your data is easily available through the wireless LAN only to the people you allow access.
- Cost: It can cost less to operate a wireless LAN, which eliminates or reduces wiring costs during office moves, reconfigurations, or expansions.
Using a Wireless LAN in Your Company
Here are some of the ways businesses are taking advantage of wireless LANs:
- Increased Mobility and Collaboration: Employees who use your wireless LAN can roam around the office or to different floors without losing their connection. Similarly, Voice over Wireless LAN technology gives them roaming capabilities with their voice communications.
- Improved Responsiveness: A wireless LAN can improve customer service by connecting employees to the information they need.
- Better Access to Information: A wireless LAN allows a business to bring network access to areas that would be difficult to connect to a wired network.
- Easier Network Expansion. Companies that need to add employees or reconfigure offices frequently can benefit from the flexibility that a wireless LAN provides.
- Enhanced Guest Access: A wireless LAN allows your business to provide secure wireless access to the Internet for guests, such as customers or business partners.

In Faces in the dark I explore the darker side of human nature. Much of Faces in the dark is reflective of what I have witnessed in myself and others through personal experience of the emotional hurdles that are thrown our way. I wanted to evoke a variety of moods and feelings that can be related to, such as anger, depression and fear. Capturing these emotions through the dramatic use of light and dark that illuminate the face was an important process of the paintings.

Morgan Stanley has lifted the curtain on their cross-asset strategy team's top trades for 2013, predicting that a "positive macro tilt" will mean the risk/reward equation will favor stocks over bonds and other fixed-income products.
To position for such a move, the strategists have reduced their overweight position in credit, are holding onto an underweight stance in government bonds, and are slightly overweight equities.
"If we become more comfortable with the prospect of solid macro conditions in 2014, we will likely lift our strategic weight to equities though the first half of 2013," they said.
The team emphasized that 2013 will likely be a year of change and "not without bumps." They expect a low-return environment overall, however, as valuations are "not cheap" in stocks and "quite rich" for fixed-income.
Specific regional equity trades they highlighted included favoring Asia shares outside of Japan, taking a moderately overweight position for European stocks, and going underweight on U.S. equities.
They also suggested adding China cyclical exposure – that is, betting on a Chinese economic recovery – via shares of U.S. industrial firms and European materials names.
On the fixed-income side, the strategists recommended buying Italian and Spanish sovereign bonds, saying the "spreads are too wide" against other benchmarks.
They also called for buying German government debt position against U.S. Treasurys and Japanese government bonds, citing an expected divergence in economic performance between the major economies.
For currencies, the team recommended buying dollars and selling yen, saying that the chance Japan will experience a significant policy change to combat deflation is higher today "than in recent history." They are forecasting that the dollar will rise to 92 yen, up from its current position around 83 yen.
As for gold, Morgan Stanley is bullish, saying loose monetary policies will keep gold well supported. The team forecasts gold to trade at an average of $1,853 an ounce for 2013, compared to the current $1,701-an-ounce price for benchmark New York gold futures.
