David Irving Ready to "Be Put Through Ringer" in First Action with Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys patience in Defensive Tackle David Irving is set to pay off on Sunday, as Irving will play in his first game of 2018 after being suspended for the first four weeks. Irving was eligible to play last week in the Cowboys overtime loss at the Texans, but did not make the trip to Houston as he dealt with off-field concerns.
The Cowboys defense has performed admirably without Irving, but in a needed game against the Jaguars, it could be up to this defense to win the game for Dallas - something a disruptive player like Irving has the ability to do on any given snap.
While the plan is for the Cowboys to ease Irving into this game, his impact from the DT position might be enough to leave him on the field as much as needed in a tight game.
Kate Hairopoulos on Twitter
Irving said the coaches want to play him 10-15 snaps Sunday. "That's what they say now but if it's a close game, I know good and well Marinelli is going to be sending me out there & putting me through the ringer. I'm ready for it.
Like a good left-handed pitcher in baseball or three-point specialist in basketball, the Cowboys have afforded Irving a long leash despite his unreliability thanks to a 6'7" and 290 pound frame that makes him a menace for opposing guards.
The 3T-DT position is a pivotal one in Marinelli's scheme, and one the Cowboys have afforded Irving every opportunity to fill, yielding results whenever the former Chiefs practice squad steal suits up.
Filling in for Irving through the Cowboys first five games of the season has been reliable veteran Tyrone Crawford. Expected to play at defensive end this season, Crawford has recorded 14 tackles and one sack from the 3T position.
With Irving back in the "Hot Boyz" rotation, it will be interesting to see if Crawford once again goes out to right defensive end, where Randy Gregory has struggled to make the most out of his own return from suspension.
Defensive Coordinator Rod Marinelli is not expecting similar struggles from Irving, prepared to put him "through the ringer".
Where Passing Game Coordinator Kris Richard calls the Cowboys defense, Marinelli is still one of the most respected coaches at The Star, demanding a lot of his defensive line in particular. It's the pairing of Marinelli's motivation and Irving's intangibles that have the Cowboys defense on the brink of taking another step toward's one of the league's best.
With their own offense set to line up against perhaps the best overall defense in Jacksonville on Sunday, Irving's return is just in time. The NFC East is far from out of reach for the Cowboys, who will be at full strength on defense once Sean Lee returns as early as next week.
The Cowboys have never lost a game in which Lee, Irving, and Defensive End DeMarcus Lawrence play at least 20% of the team's snaps on defense. Perhaps this stat will have to be adjusted to include rookie Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch in short time, but for now the Cowboys are hours away from fighting for a 3-3 start to 2018, doing so with one of their most important defenders back in the lineup.

Michael Gallup is Primed for Breakout Sophomore Season
Heading into the 2018 season the Dallas Cowboys had big questions at the wide receiver position with the departure of Dez Bryant. They elected not to go for the flashy names like Maryland's D.J. Moore or Alabama's Calvin Ridley, but instead took Colorado State Wide Receiver, Michael Gallup 81st overall.
Even without the hype of other bigger named receivers coming out of college, Gallup's resume was enough to impress Head Coach Jason Garrett. "There's a lot to like about him. He's big, he's athletic, he plays the game the right way. He's been a productive player for them, doing a lot of different kinds of things. We feel like he has real upside, too. A lot of qualities that you want in a young receiver, in a developmental receiver. But a lot of production, too. He had opportunities there and took advantage of them throughout his career," Garrett said.
Once the season started, however, it was apparent that it would take some time to build the chemistry and trust with Quarterback Dak Prescott. The lack of a true number one receiver wasn't doing the first talent any favors as he tried to figure out his role on the team. Gallup would be targeted just 15 times in the first 5 games, only registering 6 receptions. But fortunately for the newbie, help was on the way.
During the team's bye week in October, they acquired Amari Cooper from the Raiders in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2019 draft, and it worked wonders for Gallup and his development. Weeks 11 through 14 saw him targetted 27 times. This was significant considering the Cowboys were in the midst of a 5-game winning streak after a 3-5 start. Prescott's trust and belief in Gallup were starting to come together as the team made a run at the NFC East crown and a playoff berth.
He would finish with 33 receptions for 507 yards and 2 touchdowns. Once the postseason rolled around Gallup had firmly established himself as the team's second option behind Amari Cooper.
Gallup would make his first playoff start in the divisional round against the Rams in Los Angeles. Although the Cowboys season wouldn't survive this contest, one of the positives was the play of the first year pass catcher. He finished with 6 receptions for 119 yards, and a tidal wave of momentum heading into 2019.
There's a major change coming to the Cowboys offensive philosophy this season, thanks to newly promoted Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore. The new puppet master of the offense has made it clear he's open to listening to suggestions from the players and staff on what they feel will take the offense into another orbit. "At the end of the day, work together with everyone. I think that includes the coaching staff, obviously coach Garrett and the rest of his staff. I think you also got to get some input from the players. It doesn't mean you have to go down those roads all the time, but I think it's important that when a player believes in something and they're pretty convinced on it, usually they find a way to make it work," Kellen Moore said.
With a season already under his belt with Prescott, and an open-minded first-year offensive coordinator willing to abandon the prehistoric ways of the Scott Linehan era, Gallup's development will only improve with each snap.
Unlike the beginning of his rookie season, Michael Gallup knows exactly what his role with the Cowboys is going forward. Amari Cooper is the main option, and with him drawing double teams regularly, the opportunities for Gallup to have a major impact in year two are endless. Not to mention, the added addition of Randall Cobb to the Cowboys passing game just made life even easier for him. Now teams not only have to roll coverage to Cooper, but the threat of Cobb in the slot creates a lot of one-on-ones on the outside for Gallup.
The size, speed, and athleticism are all there for this young man. Now, with a more innovative offensive scheme coming into play, and growing trust between himself and Dak Prescott, the 2019 season is shaping up to make Michael Gallup a household name.

Is Amari Cooper the Most Important Contract for Cowboys to Finalize?
Most of the offseason contract chatter, once DeMarcus Lawrence's contract was signed, began to focus on the next group of stars due for big-time money, most notably Quarterback Dak Prescott. For good reason as the quarterback is generally regarded as the most important player on the team. While Prescott has been important to the team's success over the last three seasons, few players made as much of an impact on the 2018 Dallas Cowboys than Amari Cooper.
The Dallas Cowboys front office is working on deals for Prescott and Cooper. Both will get new contracts at some point before they're scheduled to hit free agency in March of 2020, but one could argue that getting Amari Cooper's deal done is more important than Dak Prescott's.
Prior to the arrival of Amari Cooper, the Dallas Cowboys offense struggled and was inconsistent. In the seven games prior to the trade that brought Cooper to Dallas, the Cowboys went 3-4 and scored more than 20 points only three times. In wins over the New York Giants, Detroit Lions, and Jacksonville Jaguars they averaged 28.67 points per game, highlighted by a 40 point outburst against the Jaguars in week six. In their four losses on the season they averaged 13.5 points per game. Over the first seven games, they averaged 20 points per game.
In the nine games, the Dallas Cowboys played with Amari Cooper, the Cowboys averaged 22 points per game. They scored more than 20 points in all but three games; losses to the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts and a win over the New Orleans Saints.
If you remove the 40 point game against the Jaguars from the scoring average over the first seven games and the shutout loss to the Colts from the scoring average over the final nine games, the scoring average changes dramatically. Without the Jaguars game, the Cowboys only averaged 16.67 points per game in the other six contests, decreasing their scoring average by more than three points per game. Conversely, if you remove the shutout loss to the Colts from the scoring average over the last nine games, the Cowboys averaged 24.87 points per game. That's nearly a three-point difference.
Even if you remove the best (week 17 against the Giants) and worst (week 15 against the Colts) games of the final nine games from the scoring average, the Cowboys averaged 23.3 points per game. removing the best (week six against the Jaguars) and worst (week one against the Panthers) games from the first half of the season, the Dallas Cowboys averaged only 18.4 points per game in the other five games.
So Amari Cooper was worth between two and 4.9 points per game. That may not seem like a lot, but that's a huge difference in a league where so many games come down to a single score.
The impact offense as a whole is noticeable, but what about on Dak Prescott.
Dak Prescott only averaged 202 passing yards per game and had a passer rating of 87.4 with eight touchdown passes and four interceptions in the first seven games prior to Amari Cooper's arrival. Prescott only completed 62.14% of his passes in the first seven games of the season.
Over the final nine games of the season, Dak averaged 274 passing yards a game, threw for 14 touchdowns and only threw four interceptions. Prescott had a passer rating of 103 and completed 71% of his passes.
In the first half of the season, Prescott only had a passer rating over 100 two times, while he had a passer rating under 90 three times. Over the final nine games with Amari, Prescott had a passer rating over 100 six times and had only two games with a passer rating under 90.
Not only did Amari Cooper make a significant impact on the passing game, but the running game led by Ezekiel Elliott saw a dramatic increase in his production once Amari Cooper arrived.
In the first seven games of the season, Ezekiel Elliott averaged only 19 carries a game and 88.4 yards rushing per game. He was averaging 4.69 yards per carry. Through the air, Elliott caught 3.6 passes per game for only 25 yards with seven yards per reception.
After Cooper's arrival, Elliott got more opportunities and found more room to run as well. he averaged 21.5 carries per game, rushed for 101.9 yards per game. He more than doubled his receptions per game with 6.5 and averaged 49 yards receiving per game, nearly doubling his first half of the season totals.
It's no coincidence that the run and pass games saw increased production after bringing in one of the better young receivers in the NFL. The overall impact of Amari Cooper led to the Dallas Cowboys going on a 7-2 run to finish the season to win the NFC East. Prior to the trade, the team looked dead in the water. After the trade Dak Prescott looked like a completely different quarterback. The team was hitting big plays, converting on third downs, and scoring tons of points on the way to winning lots of games.
Dak Prescott is going to get his contract finalized, of that, I have no doubt. While I feel good about his upward trajectory as a player, I feel a lot better about it knowing that Amari Cooper is about to get a contract too.
Amari Cooper is an excellent talent. His route running precision makes opposing defensive backs look foolish and the separation he creates makes a quarterback's job that much easier. Cooper is like having Cole Beasley in Dez Bryant's body with sub-4.4 speed.
Just turning 25 years old, Amari Cooper is one of the bright young stars at the wide receiver position and is about to enter his prime. Unlike players like Dez Bryant, who rely on physicality and athleticism, Cooper is going to age much more gracefully as route running is one of those things that doesn't drop off near as quickly as athleticism. Just look at Jason Witten.
The Dallas Cowboys need to not mess around with Amari Cooper. Because having him for his prime and for the same timeframe that you are extending your franchise quarterback will make the next six years of their respective careers much more productive. The best way to take care of your franchise quarterback is to give him an offensive line to protect him. The second best way is to give him a wide receiver that can get open for him.
Amari Cooper is a quarterback's best friend and will be worth every penny he gets in a contract extension. In the Cowboys 2018 run to the playoffs, there were few players as important to that success as Amari Cooper. In this offseason of contract extensions and signings, few still, are as important to the Cowboys success as Amari Cooper.
Get him signed, so he can go play football.

Dorance Armstrong, Kerry Hyder Stand Out in Cowboys Practices
With Left Defensive End DeMarcus Lawrence rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery, Defensive End Taco Charlton rehabbing a shoulder and foot injury, and Right Defensive End Randy Gregory currently suspended indefinitely, there have been plenty of snaps at defensive end for other players to make a name for themselves in the offseason training activities (OTAs) and this past week's minicamp. The two players that stood out above all others on the defense were defensive ends Dorance Armstrong and Kerry Hyder.
You might be asking yourself, "what does it matter? DeMarcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn are the starters. Why should we care about a couple of backups."
First, the backup defensive ends for the Dallas Cowboys will play. After DeMarcus Lawrence and Tyrone Crawford, the leaders in defensive end snaps in 2018, Randy Gregory got 44% of the snaps on defense and Taco Charlton saw 39%. Dorance Armstrong, who played sparingly as a rookie, saw 26% of the snaps. The defensive ends that make the 53-man roster are going to get playing time.
Secondly, there's no guarantee that DeMarcus Lawrence will be ready for week one. Tyrone Crawford, who was the starter at right defensive end in 2018, could miss week one if the NFL deems his offseason altercation is worthy of a suspension. That leaves a whole lot of potential snaps at the left defensive end spot if either of those two guys misses week one.
Dorance Armstrong, the Dallas Cowboys fourth-round pick from 2018, caught the eye of several observers from the media and finished his offseason with a strong minicamp.
"These coaches have to be happy with what they've seen from Dorance Armstrong during these practices. Armstrong has been mainly filling in for DeMarcus Lawrence on the left side, but on Wednesday he switched over to the right. There were several snaps where he was a handful for Cam Fleming to handle. Armstrong started off well last season before hitting the rookie wall. He physically looks bigger and is also now equipped with the knowledge of how he has to prepare to play at a high level the entire season. Keep an eye on Armstrong to make that jump from the first to second year."
Bryan Broaddus - DallasCowboys.com
Armstrong had a really nice training camp as a rookie and as Broaddus notes, tailed off during the regular season. Reports are that he's added size this offseason -- as most players do between their first and second year -- and if all the reports are correct, could be a breakout player in the making.
Kerry Hyder is another intriguing player and one of the more underrated offseason acquisitions by the Dallas Cowboys front office.
Coming from the Detroit Lions, where they used Hyder as a nose tackle in Matt Patricia's 3-4 alignment, he was played severely out of position. In 2016, playing primarily as a defensive end, Hyder recorded eight sacks for the Lions. In 2017, he suffered a torn achilles which kept him out all of that year.
Now with the Dallas Cowboys, he gets to return to his more natural defensive end position. And he's making some noise in these offseason practices.
David Helman on Twitter
D-Linemen never get any shine during OTAs, so today is for them. With Tyron Smith & La'el Collins sitting out today, Dorance Armstrong & Kerry Hyder absolutely wrecked practice. Murdered it. I legitimately don't think Dak would've gotten a single throw out if sacks were allowed.
Of course not playing against the starting tackles in Tyron Smith and La'el Collins will allow players to shine a bit more, but let's not forget that Cam Fleming started in the Super Bowl for the New England Patriots before signing with the Dallas Cowboys. Connor Williams, who has been getting snaps at tackle as well, is no slouch as a former All-American for the Texas Longhorns.
Here's what Bryan Broaddus had to say about Kerry Hyder in one of the previous OTAs his "Scout's Notebook" from May 22nd.
"I have to be careful with my love for veteran defensive linemen, but Kerry Hyder looks like a different man playing at end instead of head-up tackle. The coaching change in Detroit did him no favors last season. Having to play in a spot where he had to fight blocks all day to now working on the edge in space is a good thing for him. It appears that Hyder has his quickness back, but he also has some pass rush moves in his tool belt. I thought maybe they were going to use him as an under-tackle, but putting him back at end might be his best shot at making the roster."
Bryan Broaddus - Dallas Cowboys.com
The Cowboys found a really good player in Kerry Hyder. He's capable of playing some 3-technique defensive tackle if needed as well as on the edge. He has a good motor and is able to make plays in the running game.
With the emergence of Kerry Hyder and Dorance Armstrong this offseason, it puts Taco Charlton behind the eight ball as the team heads to Oxnard. If they continue to play well, it's a real possibility that Charlton could be a gameday inactive during the regular season, especially if Randy Gregory is reinstated.
However they end up being deployed, this group of defensive ends will cause fits for opposing offensive lines. They've been aiming for waves of pass rushers for Rod Marinelli's defense and for the first time since becoming defensive coordinator, he looks to have just that.

Remember when you were a child? They toys you loved, the games you played? In our newest exhibit, Every Child Has a Name, we have a selection of children's artifacts–toys, drawings, and other things that belonged to the children of the Holocaust. While some of the artifacts are reproductions of the originals, the reminder that children were there to witness the horrible acts of that time is very real.
As part of this exhibit, we are creating a virtual gallery on Facebook. If you or someone you know has any toys or children's artifacts from the WWII period, especially from Europe, you can be part of this new venture. All you need to do is head over to our Facebook page (http://facebook.com/dhmcet) and post a picture of the artifact, along with a brief history. We would love to know where the toy is from, who it belonged to, etc. This community-created project will give all of our supporters a chance to share their histories and to learn about the WWII era in a new way that is far more interesting and personal than what you could find in the pages of a book.
Please help us honor the memory of the children of the Holocaust, and the children of WWII, by sharing your photographs and memories if you can. If you do not have an artifact to share, you can still share a memory, story, or your thoughts!

Extra grant money to provide additional class for ASSIST program
PLAINVIEW – Thanks to an additional $84,000 from the state of Texas, Wayland Baptist University's Academic Summer Science Institute for Secondary Teachers (ASSIST) will be offering another course for area teachers in science matters.
Joanne Bowers, who has served as instructor for many of the ASSIST courses over the years, will teach the new course titled "Energy Interactions Through the Environment," aimed specifically at teachers who teach a class outside their normal subject field.
"These courses are designed to trace the strand of energy flow through the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) taught in grades 5-12," Bowers said. "The class shows how energy interacts and causes the changes in the environment and how these changes affect our daily lives."
Bowers, a longtime science teacher in the Plainview schools, said the course came about because TAKS test scores showed a deficiency in that area. Since Wayland Baptist University has already received a grant to teach various science courses each summer toward the same goal of improving teacher knowledge, the state opted to increase the school's allocation for 2007 and allow them to add the energy course.
According to Dr. J. Hoyt Bowers, ASSIST program director since its inception in the summer of 1986, his wife Joanne was also the writer of the course curriculum.
"We met with the program directors over breakfast, and while we visited she sketched out the objectives and the course content, based on the needs that students had," he said.
Part one of the class is set to begin in the fall, held one Saturday each month through the academic year. The second part will be taught in summer 2008. Courses are taught in the Moody Science Building on the Wayland campus.
Teachers chosen for the program pay no tuition, thanks to the grant, and are also reimbursed $5 per class day for lunch and $10 for child care. Some travel allowance is also paid, and teachers receive a $300 stipend once both classes are completed. They can also receive eight hours of graduate credit in science from WBU and a free laptop computer once both the courses are completed.
"The teachers really get a lot of materials during this course as well that they can use in their classrooms," Mrs. Bowers added.
Besides the Bowers, Dr. Elise Adamson, associate professor of mathematics ands physics, will serve as classroom consultant for the course. Linda Murphree, curriculum coordinator for the Plainview I.S.D., serves as the district liaison for the program.
The additional money, called an Upward Amendment grant, came from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the same entity that funds the ASSIST program annually. The program statewide is administered through the DANA Center at the University of Texas at Austin. Wayland has received grants each year from THECB for the ASSIST program, totaling an estimated $2 million. The Bowers were honored in December 2005 along with WBU for being the only university to receive a continuous grant from the organization for 20 years.
For more information on the ASSIST program, contact Bowers at (806) 291-1116.

Bethel College, Arden Hills, Minnesota COEVAL ISSUE
"Hey, c'mon, give me a break! I paid my bill by the tenth of the month."
Old Bethel bookstore is now a jr. high cafeteria.
Vol. 49 No.4
Friday, Oct. 5, 1973
No Vacancy:Old Campus Reoccupied
by Steve Ferrario
Last year the old campus was like a vacant house, with no one around to care or make it alive. This school year
things are different. With the larger number of students going to Bethel, the old dorms have again become a place of busy
activity. That is not the only reason the old campus is "living" this faU," though. The students are back! However, they are not
Bethel students.
The old Bethel campus is the temporary home of the Chippewa Junior High School of North Oaks. The Mounds View
School District is in the process of building a new school which will be completed in January. Instead of resorting to split
shifts, the school board is using the Bethel campus for the junior high school.
Students are bused to the campus. With North Oaks being more than seven miles to the north of the old campus the
trip takes about one half hour each way.
The classes begin each morning at 7: 50 with the homeroom period. A normal junior high class schedule is in effect
throughout the day, with the classes ending at 2:30 p.m.
Some of the classes are meeting in very unusual places. For example, former Bethel administrative offices are now used
for some junior high classes. The Bethel middle lawn, on which Bethel students were always forbidden to play football,
is now a junior high physical education field.
Since the old Bethel cafeteria in Bodein dorm is not being used by the new students, other arrangements were made for
food. The former Bethel bookstore along with the old coffee shop have become the eating spot for the more than 1,000
The old seminary, college building, library, and gymnasium are the four buildings being used by the temporary student
body for classrooms.
Even with the inconvenience of moving to a temporary "new" school, most of the students and teachers interviewed
agreed that it is a nice change from a traditional junior high setting.
Student Assoc. reclaims
phone overcharges
by Judy Harrington
When Student Association President
Dan Nelson returned to school this fall,
he couldn't believe the phone bill which
met his eyes. Both Nelson and Ron
Blomberg, Student Association Treasurer,
had been trying last semester to straighten
out a series of misunderstandings with the
Business Office over the Student Association
"Looking over the May print out,
which was sitting on my desk when I got
back, we knew something had to be
done," Nelson said.
Through what he termed a "comedy
of errors" the Association was overcharged
a total of $ 271. 75 for three
phones over a period of six months.
These phones were of the Student
Association Office, the Clarion/Spire
Office, and the Campus Co-ordinator
Qffice. The amount of overcharge has now
been credited to this year's Association .
account by school Comptroller Graydon
"It was our mistake," explained Held.
"The bill was brought to my attention by
the Association, I promised to look into
it and I forgot. Many difficulties were
created when the school changed over to
the new telephone system. We simply did
not know how to bill for it. Mistakes
were made in our (Business Office)
accounting. "
The problems began last December,
when Bethel changed its old switchboard
telephone system over to the new
Centrex system. Under the old system,
a limi ted number of trunklines were
shared by all campus phones and all
on-campus calls came through one switchboard.
This service cost $3.50 per month
per phone. The new Centrex system
allows each phone an outside line, at
$6.10 per phone, and the added benefit
of an on-camJ>us service by which any
office phone may be reached by dialing
the last four digits. The cost of this last
service is considerable and is divided
evenly among all phones on campus. As
more phones have been added during}he
past year, consequently sharing in this
cost, the price of the Centrex service per
phone has been reduced.
"I question if Centrex is even a valid
telephone service for Bethel, because of
its cost," Nelson remarked. "The cost per
phone in May was still about $15. It's
something that usually only very large
institutions, such as hospitals, install. I
realize, though, that Bethel is expecting the
number of phones on campus to increase
considerably in the next few years.
"It's just that it's quite a shock to our
budget going from $3.50 to $15 per
In a report issued by President Nelson
on September 19 to College President
Carl Lundquist, he described the major
phone bill mix-ups. A simplified listing of
these misunderstandings is as follows:
1. The Clarion/Spire Office phone for
five months was charged for two phones
while in fact it only had one. After
continued Association complaints to
Northwestern Bell, workmen came and
removed the only phone in that office.
The phone was replaced several days
later and the May bill reflected the nonexistence
of a second phone.
2. The January bill for all three
phones was simply doubled, for reasons
which have not yet become apparent.
3. Several sub-entries from the Northwestern
Bell statement were simply
charged to the Student Association bill.
4. The Student Association was billed
several months for their own phones and
the phones of the Banking Window; the
bursar, Milford Carlson; and Marilyn
Lindeman, who works in the Business
Office. It seems these phones, which were
to be charged to the "General Administration"
of the school were charged to the
"General Administration" of the Student
The total errors by individual phone
for six months were as follows: Student
Association Office, $190.68; Clarion/
Spire Office, $81.19; Campus Co-ordinator
Office, - $.12.

Nelson does not believe a misunderstanding
such as this will arise again in the
near future. However, he has proposed a
series of recommendations to insure that
it won't.
He remarked, "They say 'Go through
the system', and we did. Well, it didn't
work, at least not for us."
First, Nelson would like to see formed
a Committee on Business Services, to be
composed of students, faculty, and
administrative members of Bethel's business
"The goal of this committee would be
to meet periodically to discuss common
concerns. If this committee is not practical,
the next best thing would be to have
an exchange of members by the business
department and the Student Personnel
Committee, "he commented.
Reflecting on Nelson's proposals,
Graydon Held appeared favorable.
"I think the idea of a student-staff
committee would be feasible," said Held.
"It might help to clear up misunderstandings
of this nature in the future."
Booth displays
latest works
by Jack Starr
An exhibition of the recent works of
Cameron Booth opened in the Art Gallery
Lounge on Monday, October 1. Booth,
who has been classified as an abstract
expressionist in recent years, may visit
the school to speak during the course of
the exhibition, which will last until
October 19. To date no plans have been
made definite.
Cameron Booth, who many recognize
as one of the more celebrated artists in
the Midwest, lives in Minneapolis and has
held teaching positions at the Minneapolis
School of Art and the University of
Minnesota. His works are displayed in
museums nationwide, some of which are
the Minneapolis Art Institute, the Art
Institute of Chicago, the Guggenheim
Museum, N.Y.C., and the Walker Art
Center, Minneapolis.
Booth has had previous connection
with Bethel through members of the Art
Department faculty. Last year he donated
to the school twelve abstract paintings
which currently can be seen hanging in
the halls of the campus.

Students double as
Bethel hOllseparents
by Curtis Kregness
Being both students and houseparents at ~he same time
doesn't seem to bother Ralph and Lyn Gustafson, who live in
Townhouse J on the Arden Hills Campus.
The Gustafsons - probably one of the youngest set of
houseparents ever employed by Bethel College - grew up
together in Youngstown, Ohio. They were married this past
June. Both Ralph and Lyn were Resident Assistants at Bethel
last year, and were challenged by the idea of being houseparents
this year. They smilingly agreed that it has been an
enjoyable experience so far.
Lyn is a senior Physical Education major. She plans to go
into teaching upon graduating from Bethel.
Ralph is also a Bethel senior, majoring in History. He is
looking forward to a career in full-time ministry after attending
Bethel Seminary.
This is Ralph's fourth year on the Royals' football squad.
"Playing football has been one of my most rewarding experiences
at Bethel; participation in sports has given me a sense of
self-discipline," commented Ralph. Ralph was chosen as
captain of this fall's squad and plays at defensive end.
Ralph has two brothers, Roger and Richard, attending
Bethel this year. Roger, a freshman, is a defensive halfback on
the football team, and Richard is a junior.
Both Ralph and Lyn are deeply interested in summer
youth camp work. Last summer, Ralph spent his sixth year on
the staff of Camp Burton, a Baptist General Conference Camp
in Ohio. He served there as program director, while Lyn served
in her first year as aquatic director.
In giving advice to freshmen, Lyn remarked that the
Bethel curriculum is especially set up to give students exposure
to a wide variety of educational disciplines. The important
point in choosing a major, she emphasized, is to look to
the Lord for guidance.
"Making a generalization about this year's Bethel freshmen
is difficult," admitted Ralph, "but I think they are a bit
more serious about studying than some previous classes."

Student Association President:
by Dan Nelson
The first priority that we have been considering in the
Student Association Office this year is the improvement of
communications between the student body and the Business
Affairs office. This is vital in the light of several misunderstandings
in the past year and the most recent incident, a
major error in billing the Student Association. (See article,
opposite page). I have several suggestions that may result in
increased communication and, hopefully, better understanding.
Many (if not most) students feel that Bethel's business
operations (bookstore, food service, housing, etc.) are more
interested in making a profit than in serving the student. The
fact of the matter is that they are interested in both. If every
student could take the time to visit with Graydon Held, the
Vice President of Business Affairs, they would see the concern
for students which exists in that department. ment.
The problems arise because students have no organized
input to that department, and it has no organized channel for
responding to students. The establishment of a special StudentFaculty-
Business Committee would serve as a vehicle for our
communication. I proposed this last year, and was turned
down. The time has come to examine this again. If a committee
is again vetoed, we should establish liaison people to
attend Business meetings in an official capacity, and invite
Business people to attend our Student-Personnel Committee
There are several other changes in policy that would help
the student position in relating to Business Affairs at Bethel.
First, Business Affairs should institute a non-profit budgeting
policy in student-related areas, such as food service and bookstore.
Right now, there is a $22,000 profit budgeted into the
college food service. If this budget were reached, this would
result in a profit to close to $50 per student on the program.
The money goes back to the general fund to benefit all, but
it seems only fair that this money benefit only those who have
to shell it out. The problem of dividing the money up in an
equitable fashion would be resolved if there were no profit.
Secondly, we should insist that the Bethel budget not
show favoritism to anyone group. For instance, while the
college food service is budgeting a $22,000 profit this year,
the Seminary food service is budgeted a $4,500 loss. Our
money subsidized their meals. This is not equitable.
Finally, we should insist that "hidden costs" be eliminated
from our education at Bethel. When students can see
clearly where all their money is going, then we will have come
a long way in solving misunderstandings between the Business
Affairs Department and students.

Shoes-and ships-and
sealing wax
by David J. Healy
9:54 p.m. - Townhouse A lounge. Not much action here
tonigh t. A few people are disin terestedly watching the conclusion
of Owen Marshall. Slightly removed from this group
a couple sits studying. And, though my eyes don't witness the
fact, my nose tells me someone is baking chocolate chip
cookies. Just a nice quiet evening at the dorm ...
9: 56 - Here they come: the Perry Mason freaks. Ted
Steen, Paul Healy, Dick Skov, Carey Olson, and Dave Hansen.
Instantly the atmosphere changes. Now there's a sense of
expectancy in the air, for these aficionados of courtroom
drama are here to fulfill a nightly ritual.
9: 59 - Olson switches the dial to channel 11. Most of the
Owen Marshall crowd disperses; we quickly grab their frontrow
seats. The bookers see that they're fighting a losing battle
and depart for greener pastures. A lone girl, obviously curious,
decides to stick it out for awhile.
10:00 - I am introduced to the group and, in a touching
ceremony, voted in as an official member. Now we're ready
for some serious viewing.
10:03 - After a short discussion we agree upon a likely
defendant (Nelson, whose wife wants a divorce) and decedent
(Avery, Nelson 's business partner, who's trying to gain control
of the company.)
10:16 - The girl who has been watching with us leaves,
visibly shaken and confused. Apparently she's just not up to
this kind of intensive analysis.
10:19 - We're right on one count: Perry will be defending
Nelson. But we miss on the decedent ( a rare lapse by this
group); instead of Avery it's his secretary who gets killed, the
same secretary who recently embezzled $112,000 of the
company's funds.
10:26 - Healy makes an early guess on the murderer:
Schultz, the defendant's secretary.
10:30 - Time now for all predictions to be in. Steen goes
with Healy on the secretary; Olson, Skov, and I have the
defendant's wife; and Hansen, with a characteristically individualistic
stance, chooses Avery.
10:31-10:50 - The important guesswork done, we now
turn our attention to more esoteric concerns. Skov suggests
that there might be more than a business relationship between
Avery and the decedent's secretary. There are now three
different secretaries involved in this case, and I'm becoming
hopelessly confused. Determined, though, to solidify my
reputation, I venture a cautious opinion: perhaps Avery is
blackmailing the defendant's wife for her share of the
company stock. This seems to be generally approved as a
plausible hypothesis, and I breathe a sigh of relief.
12:30 G.m.
Sun. thru Thurs.
ALL NIGHT FRio & SAT.
ROSEYILLE North SHII at HiQlllwCIY 36
10:51 - A late appearance by Paul Drake meets with a
round of applause, and, when he makes a key contribution to
the case, we respond wi th a standing ovation.
10:57 - Perry's relentless cross-examination finally cracks
the killer. It's Schultz, and Healy and Steen are right on,
bringing the latter's current record to an incredible 6 for 9.
11 :01 - Our winners are congratulated and the case
briefly reviewed. Discussion turns to a letter the group has
composed, presently in the hands of a proof-reader, but soon
to be sent to WTCN 11. This is essentially a thank-you note,
congratulating WTCN for showing Mason and urging them to
continue the service.
11 :09 - Steen, who will be watching tomorrow's episode
from home, makes arrangements to phone his pick in by
11 : 12 - I foolishly ask whether anyone has seen the new
Perry Mason series and am overwhelmed by a torrent of criticism.
"No class!" "It's got nothing going for it." "Burger with
a mustache - bah! "
11:16 - Their ritual completed, the group files out into
the night, satiated until tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m.

I reach out to touch your face
My hand shakes slightly
The face I touch is changing
Even now it is different
New and strange to me
But soon I will grow accustomed to that face again
Only to watch it change once more
People pass through a fleeting moment
Rising on ones perception
To fill ones world
I say
For the people who infect you
And leave a permanent mark
Then you'll learn the joy and sorrow
Of friends
Some enter for a day and are
Never forgotten
Many are present for years
Soon it's hard to think of a time
When you didn't know them
Lastly those of the short period
A week, a month, maybe a few of each
And suddenly you ache inside when they
These people file my world
And I almost wish they wouldn't
Since some day they must leave
And it hurts
For I feel the ember of a joyous time
Almost die
And it seems as though a life has gone
Yet in all this I have learned
The joy remains
For great times were ours
And much fellowshipping
For we became friends
And time lost some of its power
In setting requirements and limits
On how fast something could go
Since in this case the essence of man
His soul, was tied to another
And life did flow across the bridge
Now with the departure the tie remains
The soul knows no limit, knows no time
It is only a lengthening of the bridge
Which will always be ready for
The next crossing
So as I said before
And with the hope that my mind remain
Open to the power found in people
. People who are friends
People pass through a fleeting moment
Rising in my perception
To fill my world

Theatre opportunities
abound in Twin Cities
D'ja ever wonder how you could change some of those
slowly passing weekends when staring at your room ceiling
seemed the most interesting thing to do? This issue of the
Clarion begins a series of suggestions for your leisure time
opportunities, "Beyond Those Walls."
By Dave Greener
The Twin Cities area offers a great variety to theatre
goers. From Grecian plays to 20th Century drama, from musical
comedy to pathos-provoking tragedy, the region runs the
gamut in play topics and theatre styles. In addition, price rates
often offer advantages to students.
Foremost among Minnesota theatres is the Guthrie, a
Minneapolis theatre known not only in Minnesota but recognized
nationally, and to an extent, perhaps internationally as
The Guthrie features professional actors in what are truly
"big league" productions. Six or seven plays are usually performed
each year; one is always by Shakespeare.
The Guthrie offers students $4.00 seats for only $2.75 by
reservation: A "rush line" gives students who wait until ten
minutes before show time a $3.00 crack at the best remaining
of the regularly priced seats (including those normally sold at
$7.50). Monday night l~s may be lengthened because the
same opportunity then applies to the general public.
For students who like to mix dining with play viewing,
the Twin Cities boasts the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre, located
a few miles west of the metropolitan area in Chanhassen.
At the dinner theatre, musical comedies are the usual fare
and a meal is part of the price. Students (aged 16 through 22)
are afforded special rates. Eight dollar student tickets are sold
for all but the late Saturday performance. Reservations are
The dinner theatre actually has two theatres. In the downstairs
theatre a two person cast has been performing "I Do! I
Do!" for the past two and a half years. (The student price here
is also $8.00 with the late Saturday exception.)
Another theatre offering a meal deal is the Friars Dinner
Theatre in Minneapolis. Students' tickets are discounted to
$5.50 (except for Saturday) for the current musical revue.
Another, smaller theatre downstairs makes the same offer.
Reservations are necessary for both.
Twentieth Century theatre is normally featured at Theatre
in the Round, in Minneapolis. Three dollar tickets are usually
reduced to $2.00 for students. Reservations are recommended.
The Chimera Theatre is a major St. Paul community
theatre and features a variety of plays, including a current
musical production of "Camelot." Students are given reduced
prices of $ 2. 50. These may be reserved three days before
show-time, except Friday and Saturday nights when they must
come via a "rush line." Season student tickets (one admission
each to five plays) cost $10.00, though the "rush line" is
necessary to make then good on Friday and Saturday nights.
Reservations, when applicable, are recommended.
The Lakeshore Players also present community theatre, in
White Bear Lake. Comedy and musical comedy form the major
part of the Players' repertoire. Students may view productions
(the Players are currently making their 100th major one,
"1776") for one-half the usual price. Again, reservations are
St. Paul's Landfall Theatre in a Nutshell features much the
same type of programming, students being offered tickets for
$2.75. Reservations are essential for Friday and Saturday
nights. In cooperation with an adjacent restaurant a $5.95
meal-play package is offered.
The Old Log Theatre in Excelsior (just west of Minneapolis)
is a stock company that usually specializes in comedy
and adult comedy. Tickets are $3.75 for Saturday night and
$3.50 for other performances. Reservations are recommended.
Student rates are not available at the Old Log. Group
rates (20-50 people) are available, though not for Friday and
Saturday nights.
Satirical theatre is the fare usually found at Dudley Riggs'
Brave New Work Shop, now performing different plays at two
locations in Minneapolis. At times all-improvizational shows
are offered Student discounts of 254 off the normal $3.00
seats are good for all nights except Friday and Saturday.
Reservations are not necessary, but are sometimes advisable.
Current play information for nearly all the foregoing
theatres (and for some out of town theatres) may be found in
the Feature section of each Sunday's Minneapolis Tribune
(check the Bethel library or perhaps your dorm for a copy).
The Tuesday Star also contains play information. Upcoming
special productions at theatres and productions at Bethel and
other colleges and secondary schools should not be overlooked
This listing of theatres is not an exhaustive one. However,
it does give some idea of the Twin Cities theatre opportunities
there are to explore.

Letter wins
student $100
by Pamela Schultz
This fall the Public Affairs Office decided
to give students the chance to tell
why they like Bethel, and win money by
doing it. Sixteen statements were submitted
and passed on to a panel of 12
judges, the author's names having been
removed beforehand.
Bob Winter, Bethel senior, the author
of entry number four, received his prize:
a one hundred dollar scholarship. His
letter had special merit in several areas.
John Carlson, Director of Alumni Affairs,
felt it had sufficiently broad appeal for the
mailing list of 25,000 alumni, church
people, friends, business public and
"I have been to secular schools,"
Winter explained, "so I can write in
'secular language.' I knew that nonChristians
would not be able to relate to
what I call 'spiritual language.' For
example, 'Bethel builds strong Christians'
may be true, but there is a better way to

John Carlson was pleased with all the
"There was a great deal of strength in
all of them," Carlson said. "We will be
using excerpts from the statements in
various ways throughout the year. There
is one su bmission which will especially
lend itself to a Christmas letter."
In expressing his thanks, he commented
further, "We need special prayer support

highest in Bethel's history; $1,800,000.
This letter will be sent out on October 15.
Prayer will be needed as the letter reaches

us. "
olong hair is in . let us' shape it
~ 17:::;t:::::ing
I believe in Bethel. I have attended other colleges, but in the course
of my studies, I've found that Bethel is special. And it's what I need.
As a school, Bethel has an atmosphere necessary for a student of the
truth. By embracing the fact of God's reality, Bethel gives the student
the correct basis for an education. This basis can free the student to see
the world, its structure, and its people the way they really are.
Bethel is alive. Bethel is people. relating to people. It does
not present itself to the student as a cold institution governed by stuffy
professors who cannot be reached. Instead, Bethel presents an opportunity
for the student to know his instructors as friends.
For these reasons alone, Bethel is worthy of your support. But there is
Bethel has quality. The college realizes that its students need a
good education. Therefore, Bethel constantly goes through a process of selfinspection,
seeking out problem areas and solving these problems.
Bethel "grows" students. In this atmosphere of open-mindedness and
God-consciousness, Bethel does not allow its students to stagnate. They do
grow and become more that people who God would have them be. They grow as
sons and daughters of God.
Bethel needs you. This year, we hope to raise $1,738,000. We need
your support in prayers and gifts.
If Bethel were just a good college, then it would be worthy of your
support. However, Bethel isn't just a good college; it is a Christian community
of love and service to God. Here people are educated so that they may
be better equipped to serve God in whatever profession they choose.
Pray with us that God will lead each one of us in our giving.
with love in Christ,

Soccer team
KO's Mac,
tips Carleton
by W. T. Hanley
The Bethel Royal soccer team was
twice victorious this past week, in contests
with Macalester and Carleton.
In Thursday's battle against Macalester,
which was postponed from Wednesday
night because of rain, the Royals smashed
Mac, 13-0.
Within five minutes of the start of
play, Bethel had scored its first point
with a penalty kick by Steve Voth.
Another penalty kick by Voth produced
the Royal's second point at about 25
minutes into the half. Peter Wilson fired
in for a point at about 31 minutes and
then again at about 40 minutes, ending
the half with a score of Bethel-4, Mac-O.
Present at Thursday's game was team
member Pete Genheimer, who was recently
released from Midway . Hospital. Pete
sustained injuries in Bethel's game against
the University, and is in a cast. Pete will
not play soccer again this season.
The second half showed Bethel scoring
an additional nine points for a total of
13. The only real chance for a Mac point
came about 33 minutes into the second
period, when one of their shots bounced
off the Bethel goal post. Other than that
however, the second period, like the first,
was Bethel's, with four points being
scored by Dan Anderson, and three by
Peter Wilson.
The high point in the game came with
only about five minutes left to play,
when full-back Alan Vogel, who, as a
defenseman, rarely gets an opportunity to
25 % Good Student
Wendell Brown
488-SS4S-business 484-9068-home
Voth elated after firing another goal
score, drove in and fired for Bethel's
twelfth goal. The final point was scored
by Steve Jergenson, making the tally 13-0
for the Royals.
After the game, Coach Juan Salas
jokingly complained to the team that
they had let the score go too high.
Saturday's game against Carleton,
which ' was played at Carleton in Northfield,
was in no way similar to the
Macalester game. The Royals were forced
to fight back from a two point Carleton
lead in the second period, to win by a
single point in the last three minutes of
It was at about 17 minutes into the
second period when Carleton first scored,
and that was quickly followed by a
second Carleton point at about 22 min-utes
in. With only a quarter of the game
remaining, Bethel seemed to be in real
trouble. With less than 15 minutes left,
Peter Wilson fired in for Bethel's first
point of the game, making the score 2-1
for Carleton. Barely two minutes later, a
shot by Steve Voth rolled slowly into the
goal, tying the score. Finally, with only
about two minutes of play left, Peter
Wilson again drove forward, turned, and
fired for Bethel's winning point.
After the game, Coach Salas seemed
particularly pleased with the ability of
the team to come back to win after suffering
a two point deficit. "You've done
a good job, boys." he told them later.
Royal soccer's next game comes tomorrow
against St. John's in another
away game.
Royals outraced, 15-48
by Dave Greener
Hamline's Pipers hosted and outran the
cross country Royals 15-48 Saturday in
a meet at Como Park. St. Mary's did
not attend the meet, having earlier
Hamline's Dave Teague streaked beyond
all other runners, covering the five
mile course in 25: 50.
Sophomore Jeff Larson was once again
Bethel's best, his 27: 19 time setting a
Royal record for the Como five mile
course (the 28:08 record he set last year
was based on a course a few yards longer).
Larson's time Saturday was good for a
sixth place individual finish.
Larry Caldwell, with 27:56, broke the
Royals' freshmen five mile Como record
(Larson's 28:08), entering the chutes in
tenth place. Other Royal scorers were
Steve Whittaker (11th), Dan Haggar
(12th), and Scott Anderson (13th).
Harley Turner and Dave Peterson were
the meet's sixth and seventh Royals.
Doug Peterson, John Cox, and Dave
Christiansen also competed.
"Hamline lived up to what we expected
of them," commented Royals' coach
Gene Glader. He noted his own harriers
ran well also - almost everyone of the
Royals had his best or one of his best
five mile Como times.
Tomorrow Bethel hosts Concordia
(St. Paul) and Winona State in the first
home meet of the year. Glader considers
his harriers to be favorites over Concordia
but doesn't know the kind of a team
sported by Winona this year.
Meet time is 11 at the Como Park
by John Merritt
What makes a cross country runner tick? He runs miles
and miles in practice each day, pushing himself even when his
body says "no more ", and then comes the day of the meet
when all of his hard work comes to a climax. But after he
pushes his exhausted body across the finish line, he knows that
no matter how well he did this time, he must work to improve
the time of his next run. And what does that mean? Running,
running, and more running.
I asked Harley Turner how he keeps himself going. His
reply? "You've got to be a little crazy," he said. I could see
his point. He also mentioned the fact that a person like Dave
Peterson, the team captain, can really make you go because he
never quits.
Dave said, "There is a self-satisfaction of doing well in
cross country. There is an individual pride and sense of
accomplishment when you can successfully clock a better time
than in your previous run."
Jeff Larson, a sophomore who finished first in front of his
teammates added, "Mental discipline is the key to improvement
because you've got to keep telling yourself that you can
keep going strong and improve."
All athletes know how a spirited crowd of fans cheering
for them makes them try harder, especially when the going
gets tough. Every runner I talked to registered that same need
for fan support. Just one friend yelling a word or two of
encouragement can give a runner the incentive it takes to keep
on chuggin'. If you've never seen a college cross country meet,
why don't you get out to one - their hard work deserves your
I think that Steve Whittaker summed up the team feeling
when he said, "Being on this team is a lot different than it was
in high school. Back then, everybody was more concerned
about beating his own team members out than he was his
opponent. On a Christian team it's different; we all help each
other to push harder. The Christian unity on our team is the
neatest thing and is the most effective motivation that there
can be for a runner."
Now, a word to that defensive front four on our football
team, better know as Phil Aune, Ron Johnson, Fred Witzgall,
and Ralph Gustafson: If you guys don't settle down you're
going to be feared! I mean to say that you guys played the
kind of defense that every team in the conference is going to
stand up and take note of. And what makes the line even
tougher is the smart defensive coverage of our linebackers,
none other than Terry Karlsgodt and company. Along with the
hot pursuit and punishing tackles of Phil Swanson and Harv
Lindgren, you guys make a tough screen to penetrate.
But I can't quit here. Last Saturday, just as a Warrior
running back would seem to find some daylight, he was often
met by one of our alert secondaries, Dave Bjork, Ward
Anderson, Brent Lundgren or Dale Witherington. Congratulations
on an excellent performance.
I know that I've left names unmentioned. I'm not ignoring
the offense. You guys once again proved to be capable of
moving that football. There should have been more points on
the scoreboard, of course. Those little mistakes have a
tendency to discredit the performance that you make.
Congratulations go to Larry Rocholl highlighting his game
with that thrilling seventy plus yard run for what proved to be
the winning T.D. Equal credit goes to the line who opened
that hole up the middle and executed nicely all afternoon.
And no one is more respected than Mark Wood and Jack Rossi
who, along with Larry, grind out those tough-to-get yards.
I guess I enjoyed sitting back and watching the Royals
give Sioux Falls a licking as much as anybody. I want to give
everyone credit because everyone on the team shares a part in
who wins a ball game. The players wanted this initial conference
game and they sure had fun snatching it out of the
hands of the Warriors.
Fred Witzgall blocks a Braves' punt, leading to Phil Aune's
recovery and score.
Royals jolt Braves 13-7
by Curt Kregness
The Royals'. defense sparkled Saturday as Bethel scored
its first conference victory this season against the Sioux Falls
Braves. The Braves' net yardage in the first quarter was minus
12 yards, and it was only until late in the fourth quarter that
Sioux Falls was able to score on an 80-yard drive.
Almost half of Bethel's 13 points were credited to its
defensive squad. Fred Witzgall, defensive tackle, blocked a
Braves' punt early in the second quarter to set up Bethel's first
touchdown. Phil Aune scooped up the loose ball and darted
into the end zone for the score.
Brent Lundgren, Terry Karlsgodt, and Phil Swanson
conspired to intercept three Braves' passes but none produced
an immediate score. It took a dazzling 80-yard run by Larry
Rocholl to give Bethel its second and final touchdown early
in the last half.
The Royals' offense was plagued with turnovers, as it
fumbled the ball once in each of the first three quarters. The
Braves, however, were not able to turn the resulting advantages
into the points they needed.
Sioux Falls did threaten to tie the score in the final
seconds of the game, but again the Royals' defense tightened
up to insure a Bethel victory. Dave Bjork made a flying tackle
on a Braves' receiver to produce a fumble, which was
recovered by Kevin Hallstrom, defensive halfback.
Bethel proceeded to run out the clock to clinch a 13-7
win, and even its record to two wins and two losses.
The Royals travel to Westmar tomorrow, to meet the
Eagles in a 1 :30 contest.

CALGARY — After 175 years in business, Canadian retail icon Holt Renfrew is launching a new concept this spring.
The company announced Monday it will open an hr2 store in March 2013 to fill a void in the Canadian market. The retail concept will offer Canadians new and unique designer product selection at great value, said the company.
And a company executive told the Herald, Holt Renfrew will be looking at opening a Calgary hr2 store in the future.
Mark Derbyshire, president of Holt Renfrew, said the expansion is a testament to the company's record performance and further fuels its strong growth trend.
Heather Arts, vice-president of hr2, said Holt Renfrew has worldwide exposure to great brands and the new concept will go after a market it hasn't tapped into yet.
"There could be some crossover shoppers which would be great. But it's definitely designer and great brands at great value," she said.
"Our retails will not be the same as Holt Renfrew. They will vary. And definitely there's going to be lots of different things for people when they come into the stores."
The merchandise assortment at hr2 will include unique product lines sourced especially for hr2 and not available elsewhere in Canada. A new hr2 division will buy distinct merchandise for these new stores, and the product will not overlap that found in Holt Renfrew stores, said the company.
The new hr2 will offer womenswear, menswear and accessories, including footwear, leathergoods and fashion jewelry.
The first hr2 store will debut in Quebec at Quartier DIX30 in March 2013, with another location planned for Ontario in early 2013.
The typical hr2 store will be about 25,000 to 30,000 square feet which is much smaller than a typical Holt Renfrew store.
"We're looking in all the major markets inclusive of Calgary right across Canada and we're really excited about the strong national presence we have planned before the end of 2015," said Arts.
Michael Kehoe, an Alberta-based retail specialist with Fairfield Commercial Real Estate Inc. in Calgary, said the expansion of the hr2 concept by Holt Renfrew is "a logical extension of the iconic Canadian luxury retailing brand into the value spectrum of the market."
"This is a segment of retailing catering to mostly younger and less-affluent shoppers . . . Calgary's strong retail environment is an ideal setting for hr2 with the emergence of outlet style shopping catering to budget-conscious consumers targeting women's and men's wear."

Sorry Brian the default on phpbb3 is now you have to subscribe to threads to get notified. On the old boards you needed to unsubscribe. I guess to cut down on spam complaints from the spammers.
I have thought about going in and changing the code so you had to unsubscribe to a thread just for the contact factor. I know even myself has to be reminded to return somewhere for follow up most of the time.
Yes I know and I admit I am terrible that way most times.
I do think I'm better at going into the blog and forum section on the board to navigate to sites when I'm in that mode. I always like that option.
By the way this was to really to help turn the page.
Now you have two!

Defining Reasoning and Proof
|Introduction | Deductive Reasoning | Proof by Contradiction | Inductive Reasoning | Proof by Mathematical Induction | The Teachers' Role | Your Journal
By the time students are in high school, they have had considerable experiences with mathematical reasoning and have at least some familiarity with concepts of proof. In grades 9-12, students must build on this experience to make sense of increasingly abstract aspects of mathematics, for example in terminology and representation. Greater demands on mathematical reasoning occur. In particular, high school work carries an expectation that students generate, evaluate and revise mathematical arguments themselves. By the of the high school years, students must have a clear understanding of the role of proof in mathematics, and should also have a repertoire of reasoning and proof approaches that they can use in mathematical work.
These elements form the core of the reasoning and proof standard. Let's examine several points in more detail, to expand working our knowledge and definition of the concept.

Okaloosa County Circuit Judge Michael Flowers ruled Friday afternoon that Army Special Forcessoldier Vaughn Pottle will remain in jail until his trial on attempted murder charges.
CRESTVIEW � Okaloosa County Circuit Judge Michael Flowers ruled Friday afternoon that Army Special Forcessoldier Vaughn Pottle will remain in jail until his trial on attempted murder charges.
The decision to hold Pottle without bond �was based on the nature of the charge and surrounding circumstances of his arrest,� said Bill Bishop, the county�s chief assistant state attorney.
Those circumstances include links several federal agencies believe Pottle has to explosive materials removed from an undetermined military installation.
�The court felt for the protection of the public it was necessary that he should be held without bond,� Bishop said.
Pottle, 31, was arrested Dec. 15 on a domestic violence charge. That charge was upgraded to attempted murder based on information that he applied �a rear naked chokehold,� on his fianc�e until she was unconscious, according to testimony at Pottle�s hearing Friday.
On Dec. 29, his fianc�e discovered �a large amount of dynamite, TNT and detonators,� at their home in Baker, prosecutor Kimberly Torres said at the hearing.
Less than a week later, another cache of explosives was found on the right of way of the CSX railroad tracks in Crestview.
Joseph Reosti, Pottle�s attorney, requested at the hearing that his client be released to resume his duties with the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and be evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder.
�Our primary goal here is to get Mr. Pottle the help he needs,� Reosti said.
�PTSD is not an excuse,� Torres argued.
She was bolstered by an Army Judge Advocate Generalcaptain who testified that Pottle already had been screened for PTSD and the result was negative.
Torresalso argued Pottle�s release to the 7th Group was not a strong enough hold.
Military officials have not charged Pottle with any explosives-related crimes, so they would not have the authority to keep him on base, she said.
�We believe that he is a danger to the community and should not be released,� Torres said.
The JAG captain testified that the Army is beginning the process of Pottle�s separation, based on his domestic violence charge, a weapons charge in October and his refusal to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.
The federal agencies investigating Pottle include the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives, FBI, Army JAG, Army Criminal Investigative Division, Homeland Security Investigations and Defense Criminal Investigative Services.
The Florida State Fire Marshal�s Office is also involved in the case.
Reosti said the explosives investigation should not be considered in establishing a bond because no charges have been filed.
�He is an explosives expert for the Army, that�s what he did when he was deployed,� Reosti said. �There may be a good explanation for why there were explosives in his house. There is no evidence that he used any explosives.�
Torres submitted multiple recordings of jailhouse calls from Pottle asking his fianc�e and a friend to remove items from his garage that could get him in trouble.
�It will send me away forever,� Torres quoted Pottle from the recordings.

Evaluating Reasoning and Proof
|Make a Lesson Plan | Summing up the Session | Final Journal
An effective lesson that focuses on reasoning and proof should include several stages. In the lessons you viewed, you saw the teacher introduce a task by asking questions that enabled students to review their previous experiences with the mathematical concepts. In an effective lesson, the task is presented to the class and the students go to work -- either with a partner, in groups, or individually. As part of the problem-solving process, students are expected to share and justify their reasoning and to understand the reasoning of other students. The teacher's carefully constructed questions, which help move students forward without "telling them what to do," are an important part of the lesson.
Use the information you learned in this session to plan a lesson for one of your classes. Remember, you will need to find a task that builds on a concept with which students have had previous experience. Think of specific questions that you might ask to help students move their thinking forward. Plan how to insure that students understand your expectation that they will explain their reasoning -- either orally or in writing (or both) -- and support their ideas with clear examples.
Use a problem you teach in your subject area, or select one of the samples from the Reference section.
After you have created your lesson plan, use the Classroom Checklist (an Adobe PDF document) to evaluate it.

Discovery Field Trips launches first program for middle school students
In November, Birmingham Botanical Gardens welcomed Highlands School sixth graders and students from Bessemer's gifted program to become the first middle schools to participate in the first Discovery Field Trip designed for middle school students. Over the last decade, Discovery Field Trips have offered free, science-based programming for almost 100,000 kindergarten-sixth grade students.
Plants: Inside Out paves a pathway for students to discover photosynthesis through three hands-on science labs. Labs include making slides from leaves to view stomata with field microscopes, using technology to measure carbon dioxide, and discovering why leaves change color. Post field trip, they can use their new discoveries to design their own ideas for renewable energy, similar to scientists in the real world.
A student from Highlands said, "Out of all my experiences, I've learned the most in this field trip. I really had a great time." Highlands Science Teacher Sam Kindervater said, "Great intro or wrap-up for a plant unit." The "hands-on components and outside activities" were what they enjoyed most. Bessemer Gifted Teacher Daphne Shade stated, "The labs were very informational and interesting. The students really enjoyed the experience."
Plants: Inside Out will get into full swing this spring. Docents are needed, and teachers are invited to begin signing up their classes now free of transportation costs. For more information on scheduling your class for a field trip, contact Education Coordinator Ellen Hardy at 205.414.3953 or email@example.com. For more information on volunteering for the program, contact Volunteer Coordinator Taylor Steele at 205.414.3962 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
