Facial redness 2. Telangiectasia (dilated blood vessels which are red and can be thread-like in appearance) 3. Unusually reactive skin 4. Uneven skin texture (lumps and bumps) 5. Flushing 6. Acne-like lesions (papules, pustules, and nodules) 7. Burning sensations 8. Swelling 9. Rhinophyma (a deformity more frequently occurring in men which is characterized by redness, inflammation, and excess tissue growth around the nose) 10. Chronic ocular redness, scaling or crusting of the eyelids and lashes, and eye irritation The exact causes of rosacea are unknown, though genetics and environmental damage are thought to be factors. Some research indicates that the demodex mite could be responsible for rosacea symptoms, while other research suggests rosacea is caused by a chronic bacterial infection in the gastrointestinal system. _________________________________________________________________________ Rosacea Subtypes There are five different subtypes of rosacea. A person can have a combination of more than one subtype at a time. 1. Erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea: Primarily involves facial redness in the central portion of the face and frequent flushing. Telangiectasia commonly can occur in those with this rosacea subtype. The skin tends to be unusually reactive and stinging and burning sensations often occur, as well as facial roughness. 2. Papulopustular Rosacea: Involves chronic central facial redness and short-lived papules and/or pustules that tend to resemble acne. Stinging and burning sensations are not unusual. 3. Phymatous Rosacea: Involves a thickening of the skin on the nose, nodules, and strange tissue growth. Although rhinophyma is the most common manifestation of this rosacea subtype, phymatous rosacea can be seen elsewhere such as on the chin, forehead, cheeks, and ears. 4. Ocular Rosacea: A rosacea subtype occurring in the eye area which affects over half of those with other rosacea subtypes. Symptoms include watery, bloodshot eyes, the feeling that a foreign object has made its way into the eye, burning and/or stinging, dryness, itching, sensitivity to light, blurry vision, and telangiectasia of the eye and lid. Blepharitis (inflammation of one or both eyelids), conjuctivis (inflammation of the conjunctiva, the mucous membrane which covers the internal portion of the eyelid and is attached to the cornea), and irregularity of the eyelid margins can also sometimes be seen. 5. Neuropathic Rosacea: A rosacea subtype which has yet to be officially recognized yet is thought to be the most severe. It involves fits of burning in the central facial region, often lasting for longer than a half hour, as well as pain following exposure to rosacea triggers (see below section). Severe cases can semi-permanently or permanently activate sensory nociceptors (pain receptors). If you think you have rosacea, it is very important not to self-diagnose and to get a professional opinion from a dermatologist. The reason being is that some symptoms that appear to be caused by rosacea can actually be indicative of other, more serious conditions. For example, one symptom of lupus (an autoimmune disease) is what appears to be a red rash spread over the nose and cheeks that is often mistaken for rosacea. Also, many of the symptoms of rosacea cannot be addressed by over-the-counter products and require medical intervention. _________________________________________________________________________ Rosacea Triggers Rosacea flare-ups are often worsened by various things (triggers) which are unfortunately not always easy, or even possible, to avoid. These triggers vary from person to person. Below some possible triggers are listed. Emotional Triggers: Anxiety Concentration Crying Embarrassment Excitement Intimacy Laughing Stress Environmental Triggers: Cold Climates Heat Sun Wind Hormonal Triggers: Birth control pills Estrogen Perimenopause Premenstrual Postmenopause Foods: Large meals Spicy foods Hot foods Beverages: Alcohol Hot beverages Physical Triggers: Exertion (light or heavy) Lying down Migraines Overheating Pain Oral Medications: Vasodilating drugs (drugs which widen blood vessels and can therefore worsen rosacea) used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease Topical Triggers: Products containing skin irritants (see section below) Exfoliants Moisturizers Sunscreens containing synthetic sunscreen agents Other Triggers: Spontaneous (if you suspect something is triggers a flare-up, avoid it if possible) Fluorescent lighting Computers _________________________________________________________________________ Irritants Commonly Found in Cosmetics Here is a list of common skin irritants you may wish to avoid: Alcohols. Ethanol (grain alcohol), denatured alcohol, ethyl alcohol, methanol, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl, and SD alcohol should be avoided. (Exceptions: Ingredients like cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols. Some alcohols like SD alcohols can be used in small amounts. An ingredient is in a small amount if it appears at the end of an ingredients list). Ammonia Arnica Balm mint Balsam Bar cleansers and soaps Bentonite (can be used in the occasional clay mask, but avoid frequent use or formulations which contain other "actives") Benzalkonium chloride (if it is one of the main ingredients) Benzyl Alcohol (if it is one of the main ingredients) Bergamot Camphor Cinnamon Citrus juices and oils Clove Clover blossom Coriander Cornstarch Essential Oils Eucalyptus Eugenol Fennel Fennel oil Feverfew Fir needle Fragrance (may be listed as "Parfum") Geranium Ginger Grapefruit Horsetail Jasmine Lavender Lemon Lemongrass Lime Linalool Marjoram Melissa (lemon balm) Menthol, Menthyl Acetate, and Menthyl PCA Mint Oak bark Orange Oregano Papaya Peppermint Phenol Rose Sandalwood oil Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfate Sodium lauryl sulfate TEA-lauryl sulfate Thyme Wintergreen Witch hazel Ylang-ylang If you are uncertain about an ingredient, information about it might be found in one of the online ingredients dictionaries posted above ("Product Ingredients" section). _________________________________________________________________________ Treatment Options Rosacea can be very difficult to treat for numerous reasons. First, rosacea is not very well-understood, so only the symptoms of the disease can be addressed. Second, because rosacea increases the reactiveness of one's skin, what may work for one rosacea patient may be much too irritating for you. Third, some popular rosacea treatments, like oral antibiotics, can only be used in the short-term. Fourth, products which claim to be designed for sensitive skin or to treat rosacea often contain skin irritants. If they do contain ingredients which would be beneficial to rosacea-prone skin, those ingredients are often found in minute concentrations. And lastly, there is much disagreement among dermatologists as to what should and should not be used for the treatment of rosacea. When treating rosacea, monitor how your skin reacts. If a treatment seems to worsen facial redness and cause irritation, don't use it. Some Prescription-Only Treaments: Standard treatment options for rosacea involve oral antibiotics and metronidazole (found in MetroGel), a topical antibiotic effective against anaerobic bacteria and some parasites. This can be effective, but keep in mind that bacteria can become resistant against oral antibiotics, making them effective only for the short-term, and metronidazole doesn't work for everyone. Finacea, a 15% azelaic acid gel, was approved for the treatment of rosacea in 2002. It is an antimicrobial product which has some research indicating that it is more effective for rosacea treatment than MetroGel; however, other research indicates that it is more irritating, which can cause problems for many patients. Another popular rosacea treatment is a sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur lotion (such as Rosula). It has antimicrobial properties, though irritation can occur. Isotretinoin, found in Accutane, can be a very effective rosacea treatment (I won't say "cure," but an Accutane course can solve rosacea problems for many), though it is not understood why. Some Over-the Counter Treatments: Some rosacea sufferers benefit from the use of benzoyl peroxide, an antibacterial treatment commonly used for acne sufferers that is effective against anaerobic bacteria. However, this is recommended with caution since benzoyl peroxide can be extremely irritating to rosacea patients and ultimately make the skin worse. Tea tree oil exhibits antimicrobial properties and is thought to be less irritating than benzoyl peroxide, but again is recommended with caution. One should use between a 5 and 15% concentration; anything more might be too irritating and anything less might be ineffective. The only leave-on tea tree oil treatment (I don't recommend medicated cleansers because the treatment gets rinsed away) I know of is Derma E Tea Tree and E Antiseptic Cream, which contains 5% tea tree oil. Salicylic acid, a chemical exfoliant, may be beneficial to rosacea sufferers as well since it has some antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties; however, most salicylic acid products are poorly formulated and contain unnecessary skin irritants like drying alcohols. Exfoliants of any kind can aggravate rosacea symptoms, so again approach the use of salicylic acid cautiously. The best and most economical salicylic acid products are those made by Paula's Choice. Topical hydrocortisone treatments can be beneficial for relieving rosacea-related irritation and inflammation, but these should be used sparingly as long-term use can thin the skin and actually exasperate rosacea symptoms. Many skincare lines are coming out with products marketed to rosacea sufferers. They might be advertising that their products calm and cool the skin. Usually products claiming to cool the skin use ingredients like menthol and peppermint to produce the sensation of coolness. This cooling sensation is actually a sign of irritation, so it's best to avoid these products. You may have heard of the Aveeno Ultra-Calming and Eucerin Redness Relief lines. The Ultra-Calming line by Aveeno uses feverfew as its active ingredient, which acts as an anti-inflammatory agent when taken orally but a skin irritant when applied topically. The Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser is probably OK to use since the feverfew is in contact with the skin for only a short time, but otherwise one should avoid this line. Eucerin's Redness Relief line uses licorice extract, which does act as an anti-inflammatory agent when applied topically. However, Eucerin's products don't contain that much of it. Your best bet is to use products featuring anti-inflammatory ingredients without the use of unnecessary skin irritants like fragrance. You don't have to stick to just one product line. Laser Treatments: Although many of the above-mentioned treatments can help with some rosacea symptoms, particularly those which resemble acne, they tend to be ineffective against telangiectasia and facial redness overall. Avoiding rosacea triggers can help with these problems, they are usually inevitable in the long-run. Laser treatments, like V-Beam, can be very effective for treating telangiectasia and overall facial redness. Consult with your dermatologist on this matter if you are interested. Additionally, combinations of laser treatments are being used in new ways to treat facial redness, flushing, swelling, and neuropathic pain that other treatment options have not been able to address. Ocular Rosacea Treaments: Treating ocular rosacea can be tedious. Hygienic ocular care is essential. Many rosacea patients find the use of artificial tears beneficial (though don't use products like Visine, which will ultimately make the dryness and redness of the eye worse). _________________________________________________________________________ Other Important Information WEAR SUNSCREEN. Sun damage is thought to play a role in the development of rosacea because it is a vasodilator. Make sure your sunscreen is broad-spectrum, meaning that it provides sufficient protection from both UVA and UVB rays. If your sunscreen does not contain titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, mexoryl sx, and/or tinosorb, it does not provide sufficient UVA protection and is not broad-spectrum. Synthetic sunscreen ingredients can be irritating to those with rosacea, so look for sunscreens using the physical sunscreen ingredients of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Clash on Film Policy t h Q, CLARION Council, -Administration
In response to administrative
action which basically said that
film showing on campus (a) be
limited to those areas which in
the main are non-controversial in
our denomination, such as relig-ious,
news, documentary, histori-cal,
scientific, etc., but excluding
the type usually shown as enter-tainment
in local neighborhood
theatres and (b) be selected in
conformity with high technical
standards of performance, the cul-tural
council released the follow-ing
statement to the CLARION:
"The cultural council of the
Student Senate of Bethel college
hereby states that it can no longer
exist under the conditions estab-lished
by the administrative com-mittee
and remain loyal to its own
principles. Because of this, the
council recommends that its case
be aired publicly, preferably in a
convocation, so that the student
body may fully understand the
council's case, and decide accord-ingly.
"If the February 5 decision of
the administrative committee re-mains
final, the cultural council
members suggest that the council
be eliminated from Student Senate
control and be placed directly un-der
the jurisdiction of the ad-ministration,
which, in fact, is the
case at the present time.
"If the council is not granted
its wish for an open forum where
it may present its case, or if the
administration does not rescind its
latest action on film showing re-strictions,
the council asks that it
be considered dissolved and that
the Senate establish another cul-tural
council with new personnel.
"That the Senate may realize
that the council has a case wor-thy
of public consideration, the
council points out the following
1. The administration, when ask-ed
by the cultural council chair-man
for a policy regarding the
showing of films, stated that the
adviser's affirmation was suffic-ient
approval for showing a pic-ture.
This has not been the case
with two films : "The Bicycle
Thief" and "Lavender Hill Mob."
2. Less than one week before
the administrative committee's
announcement of February 5 was
made, the council was assured by
two members of the administra-tion
that the council, in the final
analysis, could select the films to
be shown. This has simply not
been true.
3. The council was expressly told
at that time, that "Lavender Hill
Mob" could be shown. Now, of
course, the film cannot be shown.
"This seems to us to be reason
enough for our requesting the
action we do."

(cont. page 4)
Are Voted On
The proposed amendments to
the constitution of the Bethel stu-dent
association were voted upon
at chapel hour today by the stu-dent
body. A two-thirds majority
vote of those present is necessary
for the adoption of the amend-ments.
The first amendment will cut
the present number of senators
from 17 to 14. Those offices to be
discontinued will be those of fin-ancial
secretary and presidents of
the dormitory councils. A new
member to be added will be the
N.S.A. co-ordinator.
The other amendment concerns
the adoption of by-laws. It is pro-posed
that a two-thirds vote of the
entire Senate be sufficient for
adoption of by-laws rather than
the vote of the student association.
The Student Senate, at the Feb.
7 meeting accepted the amend-ments
to the constitution as pro-posed
by the constitution com-mittee.
These changes have been
posted on the Student Senate bul-letin
board in the library for the
past week.
Results of the student vote will
be posted in the library on tomor-row.
Emer Larson, professional auc-tioneer,
will preside over the
Sophomore Penny Auction which

president. However, the contents
of one special prize to be auction-ed

Good and Evil
Dear Editor:
The following article appeared
as a meditation in the February
5th issue of the "CLARION bi-weekly":
KNOWING GOOD and
It seems as though there was a
time in history when man lived in
a "cloister" and an "ivory tower"
of purity. Ever since that time
they had sweat blood to get back
to it—BUT IN VAIN. But when
and where was that? If I could
only remember . . .
I seem to hear the voice of John
Milton echo back through the ages.
It travels through time and space
—it is getting softer and softer—
until it becomes an elusive whis-per.
Now I remember! I heard that
whisper once before; some long
time ago. It was there . . . in the
garden . . . and the voice whis-pered:
He didn't stop there . . . he kept
on needling: "How strong is your
God ? Test Him out and SEE. He
is holding out on you . . . GO
AHEAD . . . Experience the other
side. Taste of evil and you will be
WISE and GOOD."
So man did. And as a result, in
that second, the GOOD and PER-FECT
MAN FELL — and great
was his fall . . .

If attendance is made voluntary
students will tend to go to interest-ing
classes and cu uninteresting
classes. This will encourage teach-ers
to make their lectures worth
listening to. If the lectures are dry
The other evening, a young man
seeking advice from a counselor
said, "I'm not interested in courses
for cultural enrichment."
"Then what are you interested
in?" asked the adviser. "Courses
to impoverish you?"
"I mean I want to improve my-self,"
said the student. "But cul-ture
is a luxury. I can't afford
a course that dosn't help me get
ahead. You'll have to show me how
literature or philosophy can do
that for me."
The answer depends on where-in
"getting ahead"—a person is
going. All too frequently like the
young man, we draw a line be-tween
the "useful" and the "cul-tural."
Without thinking much
about it, we believe that only in
connection with advancement and
success is further education neces-sary
or desirable. But are such
"bread and butter" courses enough
for a long, happy life?
If we persist in this day-time-and
uninformative, they might as
well be given to an empty room.
The students will get next to no-thing
out of them anyway. Why
should hey have to suffer?
Finally, is it fair for a teacher
to be able to cut a student's final
mark by an entire grade or more
because that student has overcut?
If a student makes an A on the
final exam he has apparently not
missed anything vital to the under-standing
of the course of study by
cutting. If his mark is low that in
itself should be punishment enough
and should encourage regular
class attendance.
So why not make attendance vol-untary
night-time split, contentment will
be difficult to achieve. The fact
is that many of the elements that
contribute to the long happy life
are found chiefly in art, literature
—in short, in the humanities.
Technical skill, however, highly
developed, is not enough to live
by. We realize that we must de-velop
a capacity to appraise, un-derstand,
and enjoy many exper-iences
in life that lie quite outside
the area of our technical compe-tence.
The mind—anybody's mind—is
hungry. The study of literature,
philosophy, art, or history can
help to appease that hunger. These
subjects can teach us in what
ways we are important and what
in the world is important. They
can teach us when to value our-selves
and also when to laugh at
ourselves. True, we can "get
ahead" without such "useless
knowledge." But, without it, we
may never find a place to rest.

Successful Student
Blessed is the Bethel student
who goofs not off all the time in
the dormitory, nor gabs continually
about unimportant things, nor sits
all day long in the coffee shop.
But his satisfaction is found in
diligent study and from morning
to night he applies himself.
He shall be the pride of his pro-fessors
that bringeth forth A's and
not F's, and his endeavour will
result in a degree.
But the others are not so, for
they flunk out and no more is seen
of them.
They shall not be able to face
exams and when compared to the
diligent are at the lower end of
the curve.
The professors know the ways
of the diligent, and the ways of
the others are unsuitable.
Greeting From Germany
Dear Editor:
Greetings to the Clarion and
Bethel student body from Ulm,
Germany, where my husband is on
military duty.
We enjoy receiving the Clarion
through my father, Mr. Engwall,
though I've noted with some dis-tress
the occasional complaints of
students about the long chow lines.
Realizing this phenomenon fre-quently
accompanies any school's
growing pains, I have no solution
to offer, but hopefully submit a
slogan that may change their at-titude.
(Did you know you can
practically anesthetize people with
slogans, making them virtually
oblivious to any given discomfort ?)
From a former student who
worked her way through your hal-lowed
halls slinging chow (not in
the halls!), here is the slogan,
with sincere apologies to John Mil-ton.
They also are served who only
stand and wait.

Poor Sportsmanship
Dear Editor:
The sportsmanship of the Bethel
followers was excellent until the
Northwestern game. Then, in the
most important and closest game
of the year, the lowest form of
sportmanship occurred. Bethel fans
yelled while an opposing player
was shooting a free throw.
I think it was the cheer leaders
The cheer leaders are the ones
the crowd follows. If they ask for
silence, they get it. But they were
yelling right along with the crowd.
The player who had committed
the foul was waving his hands try-ing
to hush the noise. But the
cheer leaders were yelling instead
of watching, and the result may
have lowered us in the opinion of
A good sportsman?
Dear Editor:
This year's Founders' Week is
over, thank goodness. I suppose we
may now be allowed to drag out
our books of contemporary litera-ture,
discuss the controversy re-garding
movies, and in general, be
ourselves again.
It seems to me that this is a
little inconsistent; or does the
verse in the Bible about hurting
our weaker brother apply?
Student Authority
The basic question which the cultural council raises, it seems to
us, is this : 'If a council is given responsibility by the Senate, and its
sphere of action for the year is agreed to by the administration, should
the administration shift ground and take away the council's authority?'
The administration clearly sees this as the issue since in their res-ponse
to the council's statement they point out the need for a discus-sion
of student authority. This we agree is necessary.
We can also agree that if a council abuses its authority its
power should be removed. But this, as we all will agree, has not been
the case. The cultural council made its plans public from the beginning.
The only film which has caused controversy was shown with the ex-press
blessing of the administration. Has the council, then, broken its
agreement with the administration? We do not think so.
But the reverse has been true on two occasions, once after express
consent to a film showing was given. The basic argument on this issue
is not that the administration cannot rule to prohibit films but that,
if they say movies may be shown, they should keep their word. If
they set their rules when the council is appointed—or at the beginning
of the year—any student who disagrees may enroll elsewhere. But if
a rule may be changed at any time, students may possibly be deceived
and councils will become discouraged at leadership efforts.

Case For Liberal Arts
All it Z-tikes Is Shoes
by Betty Mattson
What are those tracks in the snow? A dog? A rabbit? A bear?
No, it's Darlene Backlund on her snow-shoes. "Snowshoe hiking is a
fascinating winter hobby," says Darlene, a freshman from Grand
Marais, Minnesota.
Darlene was introduced to snow-shoes by some Minneapolis friends.
She then taught four or five of her friends how to use snow-shoes.
The group, including Darlene's dad, goes on a six to ten mile hike
almost every Saturday during the winter. After three or four hours
it's time for a lunch stop in some beautiful pine clearing. Lunch con-sists
of weiners, hard-boiled eggs, cookies, and tea. Everybody carries
his own tea bag. For the delicious flavor—just dip the tea bag into
steaming melted snow!
Then three hours more back into the woods or maybe a little ice
fishing. "The best thing about snow-shoeing," comments Darlene, "is
being able to get back into the woods where no one else has been and
see God's winter beauty."
"Even if you can't skate or ski, you can learn to use snow-shoes,"
emphasized Darlene. "Pay out $20 for a pair of snow-shoes and you
have a real sport."

Glen Westin's two free throw
conversions after the buzzer
sounded provided the winning mar-gin
as Bethel tipped Northwestern
80-78 Wednesday afternoon, Feb.
13, in Bethel's fieldhouse before
a capacity crowd.
Bethel also stopped the Eagles
by two points over at Northwest-ern
earlier this year, and Westin
scored the game winning field
goal with seconds to go in that
contest also.
Actually the moment when ten-sion
was at its peak came when
Conrad had the opportunity to tie
the game up 78-78 from the free
throw line with ten seconds to
go. He needed to be successful in
both of his attempts, and when he
was, the Bethel fans were jubilant.
With ten seconds to go, North-western
took the ball out and,
after they took an unsuccessful
shot, Westin grabbed the rebound
and was fouled.
It was a close contest all the
way with the lead changing many
times. Northwestern managed to
hold the lead most of the second
half, until Conrad tied it up.
Conrad, Pommerenke, and Wes-tin
were the individual stars for
Bethel, and Becker also filled in
well in the first half. Fode and
Thompson led the Eagles with
strong help from Van Dixhorn and

Time For A Change by Vonna Lou Shelton
If you could change one thing at Bethel, what would it be ? This
was the question asked of various Bethel students in a recent survey.
Here are some of their answers.
Rod Earlywine would like to have the quarter system changed
into semesters.
Bob Carlson would like to see wrestling become a varsity sport
at Bethel.
"No restriction on hours for girls to be in their rooms in the dormi-tory,"
was Audrey Chamberlain's reply.
Pat Rogers said she would like to see the exam schedule changed by
"eliminating it completely."
"More Nik Dags," was Glen Johnson's reply.
Bethel's location was first on the list of changes of Betty Hendrick-son
and Betty Ohlin. Miss Ohlin would move Bethel to Florida "where
it's warmer" whereas Miss Hendrickson would be content to move it
closer "to her work."
"All social life and no studies" was Lorraine Eitel's primary desire
for change.
"A larger ratio of boys per girls on campus," replied one pretty
coed who preferred to remain anonymous.
"No more English themes," was freshman Beth Magnuson's an-swer.
"A little more sunshine and a little less snow," said Gay Feiler.
"My grades," was Joe Schintz' solemn reply.
Roger Hunt would like to shorten the waiting period for teachers
who are late to class.
Paul Hackman, who does part time cleaning at Bethel, would like
to "change the minds of students who throw paper on the floor."
"No gym class requirement," replied Dorothy Bajuniemi.
Perhaps echoing the thought of many Bethelites, Barbara Carlson's
only change would be "more time to sleep."

Following is a condensation
of facts presented by business

last month.
As you perhaps know, the loan
fund is relatively new on the cam-pus.
It has been made possible by
the kindness of friends of the
school to aid students needing fin-ancial
assistance. The school has
borrowed up to $10,000 at critical
times in recent years to augment
this fund. We are hoping that it
will increase to the point where
long term loans may be made to
students on a plan that will allow
Senate Approves

The Student Senate at their

has $1,250 to spend, this
money coming from a part of each
student's inclusive fee. The ath-letic
council has been apportioned
$190, the cultural council $280, the
social council $300 and the relig-ious
council $50.
Temporarily this leaves $300 for

some for the miscellaneous fund.

Northwestern Dean
To Speak At FMF
Dr. G. Douglas Young, dean of
Northwestern college, will speak
to the Foreign Missions Fellowship
Thursday, February 21, at 7 p.m. in
the seminary chapel.
Dr. Young, one of the foremast
scholars of the Hebrew language
in the United States, has recently
returned from a trip to Palestine
and the Near East.
His lecture will be centered
around the attempt to christianize
members of the Jewish faith and
the existing problems involved,
since the Israeli government allows
no missionary work or proselyting
within the country. Along with his
lecture Dr. Young will show slides
taken in Rome, Greece, and Israel.
repayment after graduation.
Statistics from the last school
year, 1955-56, reveal that 249 stu-dent
loans were made, totaling
$36,084.94. To augment the amount
available in the student loan fund,
$5,000 was borrowed from the
bank at 4 per cent interest and
$5,000 from other funds. The in-terest
received on the student
loans amounted to $958.91 for the
year out of which $66.67 was paid
to the bank, leaving a balance of
$892.24 or 2.5 per cent of the
$36,084.94 loaned out. This entire
interest accumulation was added
to the loan fund. No administra-tive
costs were charged to the
The average loan last year was
$144.72. The average student bor-rowing
from the fund paid $3.87
in interest. This compares favor-ably
with the wide variety of
short-term loan funds and defer-red
payment plans used by other
colleges such as Wheaton, Ham-line,
Macalester, etc. Each of these
institutions have slightly different
ways of assessing charges. They
range from 4 per cent on the un-paid
balance to fixed service fees
of $3 to $5 per loan. In most
schools, however, the charges as-sessed
go into the current opera-tions
of the school to cover ad-ministrative
costs and do not aug-ment
the loan fund itself as is
true at Bethel.
For more than two years there
has been discussion of developing
a deferred payment plan with a
fixed service fee. There is a pos-sibility
that this may be done
when the new semester system is
inaugurated. When payment of
student fees is spread out over
the year on an installment basis,
the school itself must borrow ad-ditional
funds for current opera-tions
to take the place of tuition
due but not received. This makes
for costlier operations, and an
appropriate charge will need to
be determined. However, it may
make it possible to free funds in
the present loan fund for longer
term commitments at a lower rate
of interest which will be to the
ultimate advantage of our stu-dents.
At any rate, the administration
is concerned with developing the
most helpful type of financial ar-rangements.

Italian belt company Anderson and Pointer team up once more. This season the usual tri-color woven style comes in 2 different combinations; first being navy-burgundy-mustard, the second in chocolate-copper-khaki. The 2 other styles are made of a wintery wool, to match this seasons material in Pointer's footwear line; coming in a warming copper with leather tips in chocolate, and a robust grey with leather tips in navy.
Anderson have been creating classic belts for men since 1966, always pursuing high quality. They combine modern techniques with the experience of the 'Parma leather artisans' a tradition that prefers the evolution of taste to its revolution.
Take a look at the styles on the pictures above.

MILAN (Reuters) - Italian designers put craftsmanship before reckless glamour at the Milan fashion week, in a bid to defend their tailoring tradition in the face of global competition.
Fashion houses PPR's Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli and Ermanno Scervino on Saturday proposed sculpted flannel coats and steel-embroidered dresses for their 2013-14 autumn-winter collections.
"I am based in Florence because this is where I find a know-how that I don't find anywhere else," Scervino told Reuters in the backstage of his packed show.
Both Scervino and Cavalli dedicated their events to Florence, a city famous for its artisanal leather goods, also the signature lines of Italian fashion giants Salvatore Ferragamo and Gucci.
"What does art represent for a Florentine? A sense of place, a form of nostalgia, a necessity, a consequence," Cavalli said in a statement to accompany his show, attended by American singer Janet Jackson.
The Florence-based designer, known for his leather-fringed dresses in animal prints, said he was inspired by floral motifs by 16th century painter Caravaggio for his classic collection.
The city of Florence was also projected on the backdrop of Scervino's catwalk, where models wore masculine grey flannel coats cut close to the waist to add femininity.
Tomas Maier, creative director at Bottega Veneta, cut vertical lines into thick flannel coats to add movement to the sculpted forms.
"The collection is about proportion, precision, ease, and the simple beauty of the material," Maier said in a statement.
Bottega Veneta, whose "intrecciato" woven leather bags are priced from around 5,000 euros, also explores new uses of fabric to make unique pieces.
Italian fashion houses, the world's biggest producers of luxury goods with France, are renowned for their craftsmanship but they are facing a shortage of skilled workers which is putting their historic brands at a competitive disadvantage with low-cost production centres.
At the same time, cheaper production centres in Asia and Africa are improving as buyers from developing economies develop a taste for high-quality goods.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Charles W.
Wednesday, January 12, 2011
By: Rebecca W.
Stroke Survivor
Charles had a massive stroke June 1, 2005. His carotid artery clogged 100%, two hours after prostate cancer surgery. Charles was in critical intensive care for three weeks and then moved to a rehab hospital for three weeks. When I brought him home (I'm his wife), Charles could not walk or talk. We started outpatient therapy right away. A speech therapist told me that Charles would never be able to speak sentences, but we found a speech therapist who believed in him. Through many hours of speech therapy, Charles can speak in sentences. He has aphasia and sometimes finds it hard to find words. He also can walk, but for short distance.
What makes Charles stand out as a nominee is his attitude and strength. Charles has never complained one time! He says he is so proud to be alive. He has worked so hard to stay active. He attends college football games and drives in town to visit relatives and friends. Although life has changed dramatically for him, he faces life everyday with an attitude of gratefulness to be alive and is an example for all stroke and non‐stroke survivors to realize life can still be good. I know of no other person who would accept this fate with more fortitude than him. Charles is truly a stroke survivor to be admired.

The Impact of Cognition on Radar Technology
Cognitive dynamic systems are inspired by the computational capability of the brain and the viewpoint that cognition is a supreme form of computation. The key idea behind this new paradigm is to mimic the human brain as well as that of other mammals with echolocation capabilities which continuously learn and react to stimulations according to four basic processes: perception-action cycle, memory, attention, and intelligence. The Impact of Cognition on Radar Technology is an essential exploration of the application of cognitive concepts in the development of modern phased array radar systems for surveillance. It starts by asking whether our current radar systems already have cognitive capabilities and then discusses topics including: mimicking the visual brain; applications to CFAR detection and receiver adaptation; cognitive radar waveform design for spectral compatibility; cognitive optimization of the transmitter-receiver pair; theory and application of cognitive control; cognition in radar target tracking; anticipative target tracking; cognition in MIMO radar, electronic warfare, and synthetic aperture radar. The book concludes with a cross-disciplinary review of cognition studies with potential lessons for radar systems.

Dan McQuillan and I presented a paper at Anglia Ruskin's Network Politics' conference in Cambridge last May.
I've been meaning to sort out getting this paper up for a while but never really found the time to edit/tweak/revise it so just figured I'd post it anyway!
Assemblages of Resistance: new media, old technology and the Egyptian Uprising
It's very image-led so I heartily recommend consulting the slide notes or this blog post while you review.
In summary, we were interested in the notion of assemblages that draw together material objects/forces as well as communicative components in a fluid network. Our argument addressed the conference's question of whether the emergence of distinct, proprietary platforms (e.g. Facebook; apps; etc) are undermining the web's political potential.
We believed that assemblages provide a conceptual framework for accounting for radical ways to circumvent and route around attempts to lock down the web as a networked space. Perhaps more radically, we asserted that the web isn't just an immaterial networked space but that it's also imbued with physical effects – from technological infrastructure, hardware to human capacity and material resources.
Articulating this hypothesis we used some good empirical data and insights that Dan had gathered from the Egyptian #jan25 uprising and internet shutdown. We tried to highlight how multiple components – people, technology (crucially, both 'new media' such as twitter as well as old media such as ham radio, faxes, etc) and material objects (rocks; lamposts; space; etc) – were assembled to act as a radical, revolutionary assemblage – or more accurately, a network of assemblages.
Importantly, such assemblages contain within them – and exude – a radical potential. This radical potential is firstly that assemblages resist attempts to curtail them (e.g. the Internet shut-down didn't stop the revolution, merely prompted different arrangements of components within the assemblage(s)) and secondly, that as the effects of fluid (re)assembling of multiple material and immaterial components are based on their capacity to become something when combined with other elements in the assemblage the outcome can never be known beforehand, thus making attempts to predict and put a stop to the revolution near impossible. Still with me?
Finally, we seek to learn from the Egyptian Uprising case study and articulate a way of using assemblages not only as a conceptual framework, but as a pedagogical one too. We do this by turning to the pedagogy of Paulo Freire who argued for a praxis-based learning rooted in experimentalism – the sought we identified being assembled in Tahrir Square. Dan brings this point to life using other examples he has been involved in, such as Social Innovation Camp and The Good Gym, and demonstrates how such approaches not only offer a radical resistance to authoritarian ways of thinking and doing, but also provide a productive route out of the totalising and seemingly inescapable spaces and practices – both in Egypt and the UK.
At least, that's how I remember the paper coming together. It might have been nothing like that. Why not take a look at the Slideshare above and find out! You can find the original abstract here to make sure I'm fibbing 🙂

This morning, Iomega pushes hard to make network-attached storage more common in the home by launching a couple of Ethernet-equipped drives that are priced close to their USB-only siblings. There's a 320GB drive that lists for $149, and a 500GB drive going for $199. (A 360GB version should be available next month for $149 as well.) These may not be the very best deals out there, but they're definitely in the running.
They're not slouches, performance wise, housing 7200 RPM SATA-II hard drives with 8MB cache. You may be sad to hear that the built-in Ethernet is 10/100, not gigabit, but almost like a tradeoff, each drive also has a USB 2.0 port for local connections.
My biggest concern is how well they perform in the home of a total network neophyte. With all the talk of sending network drives home, Iomega hopefully prepared with some nice getting-started software, or at least a well-caffeinated tech-support staff.
Iomega Announces a Breakthrough on the Cost and Complexity Of Effective Network Storage in the Home *** New Iomega Home Network Hard Drive Brings Simple, Affordable Networking to Home Users
SAN DIEGO, August 27, 2007 - Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM), a global leader in data protection and an established leader in network storage, today announced a new line of network hard drives that resets the benchmark for price-performance and easy-to-use network storage for the home.
The new line of Iomega® Home Network Hard Drives, available in 320GB, 360GB and 500GB models, makes it possible for the first time to share network storage at home for little more than the cost of a standard desktop external hard drive.
"Today, the most common use for home networks is to enable shared Internet access," said Tom Kampfer, president and COO, Iomega Corporation. "Families are struggling with how to organize data across multiple PCs. Shared network storage made easy and affordable with Iomega's new Home Network Hard Drive adds the benefit of securely sharing and consolidating photos, music and video over a home family network, as well as increasing storage and backup capacity. At less than $150.00, the Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is a new price-performance milestone for networking today's digital home."
Product features and benefits The network capabilities of the new Iomega® Home Network Hard Drive are based on 10/100 Ethernet technology, the connectivity standard in today's home networks. With the included Ethernet cable, setting up an Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is as easy as connecting it to an available network port on the home router and running the included, easy-to-use Discovery Tool Home utility for Windows on each PC (for Mac and Linux users on the network, configuration is a simple manual process).
All three models of the new Iomega Home Network Hard Drive feature 7200 RPM SATA-II hard drives with 8MB cache. Once a Home Network Hard Drive is set-up and the network is operating, the device can save files from up to four networked PC or Mac computers for easy file sharing and enjoyment.
"There are an estimated 30 million homes in the United States with multiple computers. Iomega's new Home Network Hard Drives are designed for these families, providing a simple, reliable source of network storage that makes it easy to organize and share files," said Kampfer. "Many computer users want the basics at a fair price; they don't need complicated features and they don't want to pay for capabilities they may not use. The Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is the answer to their home networking needs and can potentially create a consumer mass market in this exciting product category."
All three models of the new Iomega Home Network Hard Drive include a USB 2.0 port for use with a single computer, making the Home Network Hard Drive an external hard drive for incremental storage.
Iomega includes award-winning backup software with its new Home Network Hard Drive, giving users a total solution that includes automated backup of critical files. Two client licenses of EMC Retrospect HD backup software allow users to set up automated backup schedules or perform immediate backups; create progressive backups that capture only the changes from the previous backup; restore a file to any previous backed-up point in time; compress backups; and much more. (Additional client licenses are available from Iomega.)
Compatibility Iomega Home Network Hard Drives are compatible with Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional; XP Home/XP Professional/XP Professional x64; Windows Vista™ Home Basic/Home Premium/Business/Ultimate; Mac OS X 10.2.7 or higher; and Linux distributions including Redhat 9, Mandrake 10, Debian 3.0, Gentoo, and FedoraCore 3.
Network drive operation requires an available 10/100 Ethernet port; a network hub, switch or router is recommended. A DHCP configured network is recommended.
Price and Availability The 320GB Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is available now worldwide for $149.00; the 500GB Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is also available now for $199.00. The 360GB Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is expected to be available in late September for $149.00. The 500GB model (as well as the 360GB model in September) is available from VARs, resellers, distributors and select retailers. The 320GB Iomega Home Network Hard Drive is available only at Iomega's online store, www.iomega.com. (All pricing listed here is U.S. suggested retail.)

Come the 1890s, three decades after Browne's death, Auckland biscuit manufacturers James Milne Mennie and his partner William Dey purchased a copy of the Artemus Ward "menagerie" of clockwork figures for the 1898 Auckland Industrial Exhibition.
It is characteristic of Mr Mennie's enterprise that he has spent about £1000 upon the handsome bay that he has fitted np with his goods at the Auckland Exhibition. And one of its most striking features is the menagerie of 'amoosin' little cusses,' consisting of wax models of all sorts of animals, whose clockwork movements are a perpetual source of entertainment to visitors. It seems that Mr Mennie was abroad when the Exhibition was projected, and in his travels he came across this reproduction of Artemus Ward's famous show, and forthwith gave an older to the manufacturer to furnish him with an exact replica of it. There are no flies on Mr J . M. Mennie.

District Man Sentenced to 37 Years in Prison For Armed Home Invasion and Assault | Crime
Title (Max 100 Characters)
From the United States Attorney's Office: Vernon Bunch, 42, of Washington, D.C., has been sentenced to 37 years and 10 months in prison for his role in an armed home invasion and the assault and armed robberies of three victims, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. announced today.
Bunch was convicted by a jury in April 2012, following a trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. He was convicted of one count of first-degree burglary while armed, two counts of aggravated assault while armed, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of armed robbery, one count of first-degree burglary, two counts of obstructing justice, and one count of simple assault. He was sentenced on June 6, 2012, by the Honorable Gerald I. Fisher.
According to the government's evidence, on March 20, 2011, at about 3 a.m., Bunch broke into the victims' apartment in the 2700 block of Jasper Street SE, taking the front door of the apartment and its hinges off the door frame. Two of the victims - a man and a woman - were sleeping in their beds, and the third victim, a man, was watching television in the living room.
Once inside the apartment, Bunch cornered all three victims in a back bedroom and repeatedly struck them with a metal crowbar, yelling "Where's it at?" An accomplice was blocking the only door through which the victims could escape.
Bunch was beating the victims so brutally with the crowbar that the woman and one of the men jumped out of a second-story window, falling 15 to 20 feet, in order to escape. As a result of Bunch's attack, the woman suffered a shattered heel and broken vertebrae in her back, and the man suffered brain hemorrhaging, a broken back, and broken ribs. He continues to this day to be plagued by memory problems as a result of the attack by Bunch.
Shortly after the victims jumped out of the bedroom window, Bunch left the apartment, taking only a cell phone and approximately $60.
In announcing the sentence, U.S. Attorney Machen praised the work of the detectives and officers who investigated the case for the Metropolitan Police Department. U.S. Attorney Machen also commended the work of Paralegal Antoinette Sakamsa; Litigation Technology Specialist Joshua Ellen; Victim/Witness Advocate Jim Brennan; and Victim/Witness Security Specialist Tanya Via. Finally, U.S. Attorney Machen recognized Assistant U.S. Attorneys Heather Carlton, who investigated the case, and Kimberley Nielsen and Jennifer Kerkhoff, who prosecuted the case at trial.
