Administration announces
tuition raise for next year
by Bill Sievert
(CPS) — The predominant theme
of campus conferences, conven-tions,
dialogues and teach-ins is
shifting from "campus unrest" to
"the environmental crisis."
The shift does not indicate the
solution of the problems that still
put students at odds with adminis-trators,
regents and politicians as
much as it indicates the discovery
that no students, administrators,
or politicians will remain to tangle
of America de-natures itself out
of existence.
The largest nationwide effort
planned so far is the "Environ-mental
Teach-In" originated by
Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D. Wis.) for
April 22. The teach-in is being co-ordinated
by law, medical and
other professional school students
The plan is for students on in-dividual
campuses to develop their
own programs for studying, ex-changing
ideas, and initiating ac-tion
on environmental problems,
particularly those facing their own
community. Like the Vietnam Mor-atoria,
the teach-in is a national
idea developed on the local level.
Other conferences on the en-vironment
will precede the April
teach-in. The U.S. Student Press
Association's (USSPA) annual col-lege
editors' conference will con-sider
ecology in the light of
"What's the Difference if We
Don't Wake Up?" as it offers edi-tors
and other interested students
"a death trip" in Washington Feb.
27 - March 2. Conservation experts
and ecology promoters will join
political pros such as New York
Mayor John Lindsay, Sen. Edmund
Muskie, and Teach-In originator
Nelson, as well as Secretary of In-terior
Walter Hickel and NBC
News Commentator Chet Huntley.
Mixed media presentations will be
used to demonstrate the coun-try's
ecological plight.
Another conference, this one to
put together student-faculty teams
to develop strategies for solving
ecological problems in their own
communities, is being organized
by former National Student Asso-ciation
(NSA) staff members.
About 200 persons are expected
to participate at Buckhill Inn, Pa.
in February. Buckminster Fuller,
writer and inventor of the geodesic
dome, will be among the invited
participants at the session spon-sored
by the Methodist Church
Population Institute.
A number of similar conferences
have taken place in recent months.
At one meeting at Stanford Uni-versity,
a Student Environmental
Confederation was formed by 200
students at 40 colleges. The con-federation
is to coordinate campus
efforts and serve as an information
clearinghouse on ecological prob-lems.
At some California campuses
there already are more than half-a-
dozen environmental action or-ganizations.
For several years, stu-dents
in the San Francisco Bay
area have been aware of their na-tural
environment as they have
fought to save the Redwoods and
to stop the filling of San Francisco
Bay. Southern California students
likewise have had to deal with oil
pollution of the Pacific around
Santa Barbara and Los Angeles'
Currently, California ecology cru-saders
are planning a 500-mile
walk from Sacramento to Los An-geles
to exhibit models of ecologi-cally
sound life-styles. Two-hun-dred
walkers are expected to take
part from March 21 to May 1.
The walkers will be aided by a
mobile library teaching unit, smog
free propane-converted vehicles,
solar energized cooking utensils,
a street theater company, and car-nival-
type exhibits. The hike,
which will average 15 to 20 miles
a day, is being organized by Ecol-ogy
Action in Berkeley.
Meanwhile, students in other
states are discovering what air,
water, earth and countless other
forms of pollution (including ani-mal
destruction) mean to them and
their futures, as environmental
courses have become the most
sought after classes on campus
upon campus.
A record enrollment class of
6,000 is taking a course entitled
"Can Man Survive?" at the Uni-versity
of Oregon. The class is
held in the basketball arena. At
the University of Montana 100
students were turned away from
a new ecology course into which
300 students were admitted.

The Dean's office announced
this past week that there will be
a raise in both tuition and room
and board next year. The increase
will amount to a two semester
total of $235 broken down as
follows: $100 per semestar in-crease
in tuition, $12.50 per sem-ester
increase in board, and $5
per semester increase in room.
Administrators indicated that
the increase was necessary be-cause
of an increase in faculty
salaries and college expansion.
The Dean reported that faculty
members would receive, on the
average, a 10% increase in salary
in the coming year. He explained
that on the AAUP salary scale
for professors, which ranges from
A to F, Bethel faculty members
still rated in the 'D' catagory.
Plans for college expansion in-clude
additions to the departments
of Social Sciences, Physical Sci-and
North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
are forming a consortium to study
ecological problems with federal
Almost every university in the
country is becoming involved in
some way, according to Everett
M. Hafner, dean of Hampshire Col-lege's
School of Natural Science.
Hafner has been gathering facts
on ecological education and plans
to publish a directory of environ-mental
study programs this year.
Politicians are also becoming
more concerned with ecology (at
least due in part to the excitement
being generated on the campuses),
and numerous Congressmen, liber-als
and conservatives alike, are
calling the environment the most
crucial issue for Congress to act
on in the new year.
Some students have expressed
concern that too great and too
quick an acceptance of ecological
problems by conservatives and the
"silent majority" brand of Ameri-cans
could result in little being
accomplished. Once people accept
the validity of an issue on a large
scale, they often become lethargic
about it.
In this issue, gaining approving
nods from the public is not enough.

Student leaders and members of
the administration have been dis-cussing

its necessity became evident at

of Education. Students expressed
concern over the effect of the tu-ition

One of the most popular aca-demic
changes in the past year
or two has been the conversion by
the colleges to a 4-1-4 calendar
year. New York's Colgate Univer-sity
was the first school to experi-ment
with the approach in 1966.
The school discarded the tradition-al
semester calendar in favor of
two four month semesters with an
open month between. First semes-ter
examinations were concluded
before Christmas, and second sem-ester
work did not begin until
The change meant intensifying
courses from 10 to 20 per cent,
but there was little or no objec-tion.
Many felt January was a
wasted month anyway, as little was
accomplished due to Christmas va-cation,
exams, and semester break.
This year, Bethel began its ex-periment
with the 4-1-4 program.
After being studied for a few
years, Bethel kicked its program
off, by offering one, or in some
cases two, courses in almost every
field of interest.
Many of the students decided
to stay at Bethel during January
and try the Interim session. For
all it was a new experience, and
most felt it was a good and mean-ingful
Some students voiced their feel-ings
this way:
"Interim? I loved it! It was
great!! It gave me an opportunity
to really enjoy going to Bethel.
Only having one class enabled me
to feel more relaxed, I was able
to get to know the kids in my class
more intimately. Some sound
friendships were formed too. As
for next year — I say, let's have
it again!"
"I thought Interim was very
good, and almost everybody I talk-ed
to liked it. I took the Sociology
posed to, Bethel's 1970 Sno-Daze
will be one of the best ever seen.
primary concerns. It was also felt
by the students that they should
receive more benefit from the tu-ition
increase. Administrators,
however, pointed out that students
were receiving indirect benefit
from the increase in faculty sal-aries.
The discussion also brought out
the fact that tuition increase was
not unique to Bethel, but that
many private colleges seem to be
caught in the same financial sit-uation.
course, and the field trips were
great because we were finally ex-periencing
what we had studied.
Reading about our courts can get
pretty boring, but visiting a court-room
and seeing it at work, now
that is something else."
"I liked Interim but . . . "
"I liked it. I could go to class,
yet there wasn't this feeling of
having to study. It left lots of
time just to goof around and have
a good time. There is one thing
though . . . there could have been
more social activities."
" 'That they'll know we a r e
Christians by our love,' is an ideal
expression of a Christian commu-nity
and I feel Bethel has come
closest to it for me during Interim.
I felt a real unity among the stu-dents
in my class, especially in
the open discussion periods. It was
especially good to get to know
kids outside the senior class and
feeling a lot closer to faculty. As
a student guide for Symposium,
I really appreciated the effort of
the faculty to be part of the
learning group and not the all-knowing
Prof. It's a great step in
the right direction toward a real
community of love and understand-ing."
"My Interim course was a lot
of work, but I cannot say that it
wasn't worth while. I have seen
more card catalogs and periodi-cals
than I ever care to look at,
yet the experience that I have be-hind
me, I know won't be wasted.
I expected a chance to pick up
3 comparatively easy credits in
English, and now I have 3 hard
earned credits, plus more than I
ever expected to learn. Add that
to a month spent in the fellowship
with Christian friends; Interim
was indeed worthwhile!"

Bethel's curriculum seems to be
pacing avant-garde education
As most students and members of the faculty will agree, more
experimentation and creative ideas are needed in the field of education.
As part of my interim course this past month I decided to investigate
some of the innovations and new ideas in this area. The general trend
seems to be that of humanizing the educational structure. Educators
seem to be attempting to focus on the individual student, his abilities—
especially the development of his self identity, and his ability to
identify with others and his environment.
Educators in elementary and secondary schools are reviewing the
possibilty that the divisions of twelve grades are not as important
as they once thought they were; they are experimenting with introducing
younger students to courses such as anthropology and sociology.
Social studies courses are particularly under review, with attempts to
inaugurate living-learning educational situations. Elementary children
in the inner city area, for example, need not be taught so much about
slum environments — they know about slums — but they need to know
why things are the way they are and that they needn't always be that
In the arena of college education, there is a movement towards
interdisciplinary courses and less emphasis on the grading method of
evaluation. Brown University, for example, has abolished all graduation
requirements. Freshmen, upon entering the University, take courses
called 'Modes of Thought" which are interdisciplinary, and are later
aided by a Committee of Concentrations in determining a course of
study tailored to the individual's needs and interests. Students must
complete a designated number of courses by the end of each academic
year. The "A, B, C," grading system is being kept only as a transitional
It is encouraging to see stirrings of educational reform on Bethel's
campus. Interim is a unique educational experience. It offers students
to delve into subjects on their own which are not offered in the
regular curriculum. The looser class structure allows students to ex-perience
learning through different processes, to "do their own thing"
so to speak. It allows them to concentrate their interest and atten-tion
on one particular area instead of being torn in five different direc-tions.
There is more time to interact with other students — which is
an important part of the learning process but is sometimes neglected
during the regular semester because of studying and other pressures.
Interim is not the only area of educational innovation upon which
Bethel has embarked, however. Crisis Colony, an educational experience
available in conjunction with Augsburg College and other area collegs,
and Students for Urban Involvement, a program still in the planning
stages but which would be Bethel's own, are also evidence of curricular
reform and innovation. These programs give students a unique oppor-tunity
to live in, study and learn about the inner city environment.
There is always room for improvement, however. The interim
program should continually seek ways to increase interaction among
students through discussions, films and more social activities. This
should also be the time to take advantage of travel opportunities. De-partments
should attempt to integrate their course offerings and be
alert to chances to supplement traditional learning processes with more
meaningful educational methods and programs.

To the editor,
The President has just nomin-ated
a Communist to the Supreme
Court. Twenty-two years ago the
nominee said, "I am a communist
by ancestry, birth, training, in-clination,
belief and practice." Of
course, today he denies that he is
a communist. However his record
as a judge shows he consistently
ruled in favor of communists. In
fact 60% of his decisions on civil
rights were reversed in Appeals
Court because they favored com-munist
supremacy instead of equal
rights for all people. In 1955 this
judge helped turn a public golf

I, a fellow Christian feel I must

popular movement within
God's Church that threatens to re-place
Love with rules. Man made
rules and worldly considerations
are taking the place of the cup
that overrunneth with love. Don't
be misled! Subject yourselves to
God's leading and accept the in-cidents
that affect your lives as
part of His plan. If you love God,
everything will work out for good.
Often we will not know the good
resulting from things that hap-pen
to us. Perhaps an incident or
situation in your life is allowed
by God to benefit someone else.
Be content with all God allows to
happen. If God is in you, He's in
everything that happens to you.
I find myself in a situation that
has allowed me to see this con-cept
is a reality within myself and
not just an ideal to strive towards.
I hope you will somehow benefit
from this unpleasant position I
now face.
I have been suspended from
school for a semester for drinking.
I have been drinking since I was
15. Here, at Bethel, God led me
to give up this habit (I hesitate
to call it that since I drank mod-erately
about once every twenty
days). I won't go into the details
since you can learn them easily
enough. Because I knew God want-ed
me here, though not certain He
would give me the opportunity to
stay, I appealed this decision be-fore
everyone I could. I received
the final word today: "for your
own good, we can't allow you to
remain with us."
Between you, God and I the
decision will not be for my own
good but it might help you. I
didn't make my decision under the
threat of being caught and the fact
that I turned myself in and was
suspended won't change that deci-sion.
My prayer is that this inci-dent
will give you something to
think about.
God instructs us Christians to
avoid judging one another. We are
told to meet with each other and
help one another with our prob-lems.
This being done, if the prob-lems
are solved, forget the prob-lem
and remember the lesson
found in it. God will forgive you
all your sins and give you assur-ance
that you need not worry
about them. When God forgives
others of their sins, ask Him to
give you the power to do so too.
He will give you the power. God's
way is to forgive and help the
weak along, not to inflict punish-ment

he says that the judge has "a re-cord

times has the grade been our mot-ivation?
How many times have
we said it hasn't been? Aren't we

Have we ever accused those of
the opposite sex of chasing with

seek a partner? Are we really

of us quiver at the thought of not

AMAPANIED 8Y Tleg MCHIATRIST!
by Steve Duininck
A learning experience can come at any time or place and the best
time to find one is when you are not looking. On a recent hitchhiking
expidition I found myself cold, ride-less, and tired of standing a block
away from Bethel. Finally after a heavy twenty minutes a 69' Thunder-bird
pulled over to pick me up. When I got in he plainly told me that
the only reason he stopped was because he was too loaded to drive. He
also said he was a "middle-aged, convention-going, suburban-living, and
a completely miserable drunk."
I was only going to my rented basement apartment but I asked him
to come over for a drink of tea. Much to my surprise he accepted the
offer and when we arrived he started to unfold his life up to the recent
convention. He told me, "Todays youth have all the right answers." Also,
"That I should do my own thing," as he clumsily put it.
He appeared to be answering more because of the situation and less
than from what he really believed. At one point I stood to remove my
sweater and he jumped up to ask me "What are you going to do?" He
also told me he was sick of phoney people who used money to impress
others like the men at the convention he had been attending. I told him
that I thought there were people in every segment of society that are
phoney but I don't believe he grasped much of the idea. The subject of
love ran constantly from a manhood love to the physical type which
seemed to be a very predominant factor in his actions.
After talking awhile longer he passed out or fell asleep so I covered
him with a blanket and hung up his coat. When I woke up in the morning
he was gone with out a trace and I had a warm smile on my freckly face.
Sometimes we get a little too unexposed going to a "Christian col-lege"
and need more exposure in areas such as these. I'm not suggesting
you put yourself in the drivers seat but breaking a few attitude barriers
towards such people could be very educational. It was well worth the

Trip out with Terry's trumpet blues Inter-collegiate literary journal
Clark Terry has a bad case of announces talent scavenging
the blues. Terry, a nationally re-nowned
jazz artist, is currently
lead trumpet for the Doc Sever-insen
orchestra that is featured
on the Johnny Carson Tonight
Show. He showed his virtuosity
and affinity for jazz and the blues
last Sunday at a Northrup audi-torium
concert which also pre-sented
the University of Minne-sota's
concert band ensemble.
The band played first — some
moderately jazzy concert pieces
composed by Americans — which
warmed the crowd up.
Their numbers were played very
precisely, solidly, with good tech-nical
control. The balance of the
band which leans to a brassy
sound, adapted well to jazz sounds.
Intricate jazz rhythms were hand-led
deftly by the band, although
confusion resulted in places where
the director, Dr. Frank Bencris-cutto,
got overly excited and start-ed
directing in circles instead of
But the crowd was there to hear
Terry's golden horn. The band,
Berkeley biologist predicts dawn of 'Golden Age'
along with his own pianist and
percussionist, backed Terry up on
several numbers which included
arrangements of Quiet Nights,
What the World Needs Now, Go-ing
out of My Head, etc. The show
ended with a blues jamming ses-sion
consisting of Terry on trum-pet,
Bencriscutto on tenor sax,
and assorted members of the band.
Terry's sound and spirit are im-posible
to describe. To fully ap-preciate
his "soul," he must be
heard in a "live" concert. His
sound is big, gutsy, alternately
smooth and raspy on the bottom
notes, with piercing flashes of
brilliance when he hits the high.
Terry's playing is not a standardly
straight trumpet sound, it's alive,
organic, an extension of his voice
and lungs. He doesn't play sep-arate
individual notes, but uses
whole blocks of sounds and strings
them together. Notes are meshed
together so your concept of pitch
becomes dislocated as he wah-wah-wahs
his way through the songs.
The close relationship between
old time blues and jazz and current
pop music struck me. There is a
strong strain of blues in some cur-rent
"rock" albums out (i.e. Blood,
Sweat, and Tears) in addition to
straight "blues"' groups (i.e. Paul
Butterfield Blues Band, Janis Jop-lin),
in addition to country western
type rock blues (i.e. The Band).
Some of the sounds, style, and def-inately
the beat go back to Big
Koma jazz—which was and is one
of the main contributions of Amer-can
culture (more specifically
black American culture — they
lived the "blues") to the world of
And jazz and the "blues" are
beautiful. What a vibrant, crea-tive,
alive art form. We should be
proud. Poor Bach is presently
being computerized. (Listen to
Switched on Bach.) A computer
will never be able to play the
blues, because true blues and jazz
are improvised (an existential art

In THE COMING OF THE GOLD-EN
AGE, Gunther S. Stent asserts
that the Golden Age was not the
first stage of history as the an-cient
Greeks believed, but is in-stead
the last stage of history and
that we are now entering it.
After recounting the history of
the rise and fall of molecular gen-etics
as his model of creative ac-tivity
and intellectual progress,
Gunther Stent ranges widely
through philosophy, psychology,
music, economics, history and phy-sics
to argue that the arts and
sciences — the main indices of
progress — are unmistakeably
reaching the logical end of their
Science is over: there will be no
more breakthroughs. Science will
become the mere filling in of de-tail
in concepts already known.
Art has reached the end: creativity
in any real sense is no longer pos-sible.
The arts will quite appropri-ately
conclude as random sensa-tion.
The end of progress itself is
clearly in sight. These are some of
the claims made by the author
in this provocative book on science,
art and the state of human know-ledge.
Progress itself — which the au-thor
points out is not an ancient
or universal idea, but a relatively
new view of human activity — is
seen to be a self-limiting process
rapidly nearing its end. And with
the end of progress in sight, Dr.
Stent offers his prospectus of a
leisurely Golden Age when every-thing
that can be known is known,
when creative endeavor is im-possible
because everything has
been done before, when the tragi-comedy
of life as we live it will
have become a perpetual happen-ing.

Tomorrow night the Royal cagers
will be challenging the Northland
Lumberjacks of Ashland, Wiscon-sin.
Northland's record this sea-son
is not exactly impressive but
they will be seeking to avenge
last year's twin defeats. The Roy-als
won both games easily by the
scores of 85-69 and 96-68.
Although the Jacks have lost
two of their top starters, Royals'
coach Jack Trager is expecting a
rugged game. Wayne Pennyfeather,
who was averaging 14.6 and Rich
Lang at 17.1, are no longer on the
Northland squad. Dick Lee, who is
Northland's leading scorer, is av-eraging
18.7. Gary Eberling is sec-ond
at 10.2.
In last Friday's game with Dordt,
the Royals muscled their way
through the Defender's karate de-fense
for an 80-72 victory. Bethel
Friday, February 6, 1970
grabbed an early lead and Dordt
resorted to chopping fouls in an
attempt to stop the Royal offense.
Early scoring by Doug Fargo
and Andy Feldman thrust the Roy-als
into the lead. With six min-utes
left in the half, Bethel held
a 23-13 advantage and Dordt got
no closer than nine until the final
score of the game. A 20-foot jump-er
by Bob Brodin with 3:10 left
gave Bethel its biggest lead of the
half at 31-15. The score at half-time
was 39-25.
The Defenders cut the lead to
ten at 58 48 with 7:45 left. A
layup by Dan Larson and a 15
footer by Jim Delich sent the
Royals on another offensive spurt.
With two and one half minutes
left the Royals held a 76-56
lead, and Coach Trager sent in
fresh troops. At this point Dordt
zeroed in on several long range
shots, but couldn't overtake the
Royals. Andy Feldman led scoring
with 22 points. The rest of the
attack balanced with Gordy Nord-mark
and Doug Fargo netting 10
each. Tim Weko and Dan Larson
bagged 9 each and Bob Brodin and
Jim Delich 8 each.
On January 17 the Royals bat-tled
the Albert Lea Lancers. Lea
pulled off a dramatic 62-60 win
on a 25 foot jumper by Howard
Wilkens as the clock ran out.
Dan Larson led the Royal scor-ing
with 18. Feldman and Fargo
chipped in 13 and 12 respectively.
Wilkens led all scorers with 24.
On January 20 Bethel ran into
Winona State's tough zone de-fense
and were grounded 50-39.
Steve Prostman accounted for
half the Warrior points with 25.
Dan Larson led the Royals with 13.
The Column
by Tim Weko
Hi, sports fans. We're back in action again after what I hope was
a profitable lay-off from conventional studies, or for some of you from
studies of any form. To those of you who were enjoying sun I extend a
frost-bitten hand as a welcoming sign back into the land of penguins,
frozen gas-lines, and icy sidewalks. The choir all looked tanned and
healthy after their trip into the South, and their voices didn't seem to
have suffered from all of their performances as they gave a rousing
homecoming concert. I was wondering, however, why the choir had to
charge admission after their good will trip which is rumored to have
raised thousands and thousands of dollars for Bethel.
Even though some things at school had slowed down during interim,
the sports calendar was as loaded as ever with the wrestling team having
tournaments. The wrestlers beat Northland, Macalester, St. Mary's and
Hamline. All of these meets, except the St. Mary's meet were away
which usually gives the home team the advantage, but the Royal grapplers
overcame these handicaps and beat their opponents decisively each
time, particularly at Hamline where the frustration of the Hamline team
was summed up by their 190 pound wrestler who, after Bob Olsen had
nearly pinned him with a figure 4 around his head said so everyone in
the whole place could hear him, "Don't you ever put your legs around
my head again!" How's that for poise? And for those of you who don't
know Bob very well, he proceeded to rub it into the poor boy by trying
to put his legs around his head quite a few more times before the match
was over. Intimidation, anyone?

Story highlights
- Mid-century houses are popular among a certain segment of home buyers
- Sellers are often encouraged to leave the homes as untouched as possible
- Fans are interested in the nostalgic look of the houses
It looks straight out of "Mad Men."
The two-bedroom/two-bath house in Kenthorst, Pennsylvania, was built in 1965 and looks just as it did then, complete with a bar, floral wallpaper in some rooms and wood paneling in others, and a study that once was a hair salon.
In today's housing market, still struggling to rebound, homes stuck in another century might seem like they'd be difficult to sell. But some buyers are interested in "time-capsule houses" -- especially those built in the middle of the 20th century.
And Jeffrey Hogue, owner of Weichert Realtors Neighborhood One, is especially interested in selling them, having closed on more than 100 in his 21-year career.
"The mid-century home reminds me of bell bottoms," he said. "If you wait long enough, they will be back in style. Mid-century homes have seen a rise in popularity over the last several years."
Vanessa Grall, editor of the nostalgia website Messy Nessy Chic, said time-capsule homes are "a growing phenomenon."
"I think it's comforting amidst all this fast-paced technology to know there's such an enthusiastic community out there interested in preserving and looking back rather than forgetting," she said in an email. "It's also of course a nice balance to compliment the luxuries of modern technology and design in the home with touches of nostalgia."
At 1,600 square feet, the Kenthorst home sold for $134,000 in September as part of an estate sale, after being on the market a year. It was a steal compared to the $145,000 average price of homes in the area.
The new owner, a woman in her 40s, plans to preserve the house, he said.
"She was very artsy; she fell in love with it as soon as she saw it," he said.
Hogue is used to selling homes in the $400,000 or $500,000 range but usually jumps at the chance for a mid-century home sale.
"They're just a favorite of mine because of their architecture and build quality; you don't find much stucco in a mid-century home," he said.
Hogue also told CNN that there are unique challenges to selling a home like this. For one thing, you can't treat it like a modern house going on the market. Freshening up, depersonalizing, and changing the house in a big way? Not a good idea.
"Whenever I am confronted with a seller of a mid-century home, I urge them not to listen to all the people telling them to remove the wallpaper, wall murals and other characteristics that make the home special," he said.
"Leave it as it is," Hogue warns sellers. "If it is not broken or completely worn out, leave it alone. Sell what you have, not what everyone thinks it should be." Hogue specifically tries to deter his clients from investing in modern-day renovations, which can often be pricey.
In another niche in the market, some buyers are modernizing homes built in the 1970s, as Atlanta real estate agent Mary Anne Walser did with her own house. She has sold homes of this kind, as well.
"People take these old homes and open them up -- like an 'atomic ranch' is blowing out the interior walls and the ceiling," she said.
"People think of modern homes as cold and boxy and somewhat ugly on the outside. We call this a warm modern style. Now everybody wants an open kitchen -- they want to see what's happening in other parts of the house."
Of course, time-capsule homes aren't everyone's cup of tea.
"The lack of closet space, and high-ceiling architecture is non-existent in most of these homes," Hogue said.
So what's the draw for house hunters? Many of the potential buyers are in their 40s and 50s and want to connect to something from their past, according to Hogue.
"It might recall the style of home they grew up in when they were a child and it might connect with them and bring back good memories for them," said Kim Skumanick, president of the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors.
"We are sometimes finding there is a single (original) owner -- and the home is finally for sale by that person, so we might still see some of the pink or green tile in the bathroom or some of the more dated colors that were so predominant at that time."
Architectural enthusiasts are also interested in mid-century homes, according to Hogue.
"Many purists want the property with all the original fixtures. Once they are remodeled to later standards, the purist is done."
Some of the old-fashioned touches, like walk-up attics and full-brick exteriors, add to the charm of many mid-century homes.
It also doesn't hurt that they're generally less expensive than more recently built homes.
And, there's the old adage, "Location, location, location."
"There's no doubt that they have increased in popularity as people move closer to urban areas," Hogue said. "The location's a huge draw factor."

I refer to the fact that public schools and private schools rarely meet each other on the fields or courts of play.
That is a huge lost opportunity.

Dieter Zetsche foresees Mercedes models benefiting quicker than ever from the automaker's participation in Formula One.
F1's switch to 1.6-liter V-6 turbocharged gasoline engines from 2.4-liter V-8 normally aspirated units has made the racecars more like high-end production cars.
That means Mercedes is gaining invaluable experience under extreme conditions on how to get superior performance from fewer cylinders, turbos and hybrids.
Zetsche says the know-how will help Mercedes downsize the engines in its most powerful models, such as those from tuning subsidiary AMG, without sacrificing performance.
"We still have some relatively big displacements engines with no turbo, but in the longer run we will see the same [F1-inspired] development on our upper-end production cars," Zetsche said.
The CEO is very impressed with Mercedes's F1 success -- the team has all six races this season -- given the challenges every team in the series faced coming into the 2014 series.
"Despite using 30 percent less fuel, having less-efficient aerodynamics by regulation and so on, we obtained lap times that are as fast as last year, so we have accomplished what we have targeted as far as performance is concerned," he said.
Zetsche also said it is nice to be chased rather than the other way around.
"We have seen the exhaust pipes of our competitors for a number of years and we have been working hard to change that," he said.
Now Mercedes's biggest challenge is maintaining its huge lead.

GAMCO Natural Resources, Gold & Income Trust
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. You can obtain more information about the Fund by calling 1-800-GABELLI (1-800-422-3554).The Fund's net asset value ("NAV") per share will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic, and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. Investors acquire shares of the Fund on a securities exchange at market value, which fluctuates according to the dynamics of supply and demand. Industry Concentration Risks. The Fund's investments will be concentrated in each of the gold industry and in the natural resources industries. Because the Fund is concentrated in these industries, it may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in the gold or natural resources industries would have a larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not concentrate in such industries. Covered Call and Other Option Transaction Risks. There are several risks associated with writing covered calls and entering into other types of option transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, resulting in a given transaction not achieving its objectives. In addition, a decision as to whether, when and how to use covered call options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. As the writer of a covered call option, the Fund forgoes, during the option's life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the exercise price of the call option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. (Blugolds.com) - The UW-Eau Claire men's track and field team had never claimed first at Indoor Nationals in a running event. On Saturday, they won two of them en route to placing third at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships in Naperville, Ill., hosted by North Central College.
Watch Blugolds Being Presented with Third-Place Trophy
The third place finish for the Blugold men was good enough to win one of the four team trophies for the second time in as many years. The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference had a great showing, as all four trophy teams were from the conference. UW-La Crosse won the team with 74 points, UW-Oshkosh was second with 40, the Blugolds third with 37, and UW-Whitewater was fourth with 35.
Thurgood Dennis (So.-Allouez, Wis./Notre Dame) was involved in both of those first place finishes, as the sophomore claimed his first career individual national championship in the 60-meter dash with a new school record time of 6.76 seconds, breaking his own record he broke two weeks ago. He was also .01 seconds away from tying the all-time Division III National Meet record, but did set a new facility record. View Dennis Running in 60-Meter Dash
Dennis teamed up with Cody Prince (So.-Appleton, Wis./North), Jacob Dennis-Oehling (Jr.-Whitewater, Wis.) and Joe Makeever (So.-Appleton, Wis./North) to win the 4x400 meter relay in a time of 3:15.69, also a new school record. The Blugold quartet came into the meet seeded fifth and were placed in the heat with the slower qualifying times. They ran the entire heat by themselves and posted a fast enough time to win despite not going head-to-head with the top seeds. View the 4x400-Meter Team Competing | View Celebration
Roger Steen (So.-Luck, Wis.) had perhaps the biggest surprise of the meet, placing third while besting his seed by five places. His toss of 17.52 meters (57-5.75) beat his personal best by almost 0.3 meters and was good enough to earn his first All-American honors in his first trip to Nationals.
Matt Scott (Jr.-Kiel, Wis.) ran to a new school record in the mile run, placing fifth with a time of 4:10.01. It was his first National Meet and his first All-American placing.
After setting the school record yesterday in the 400-meter dash prelims, Prince ran the exact same time of 48.97 seconds to place sixth, claiming his second individual All-American honors after placing eighth in the same event last year. View Prince's 400-Meter Dash
Aaron Easker (Sr.-Eland, Wis./Wittenberg-Birnamwood) ran a packed-up and physical race to come away with a sixth place finish in the 5,000-meter run in a time of 14:32.91. Easker received All-American honors for the first time individually in track after garnering All-American status in cross country this past fall for the Blugolds.
Brandon Zarnoth (So.-Appleton, Wis./North) claimed eighth place in the heptathlon with 4,836 points. It is the transfer's first All-American honors in a Blugold uniform.
On the women's side, Erin Schoenfelder (Sr.-Antioch, Ill./Antioch Community) broke her own school record and placed fifth in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.78 seconds. After grabbing the last qualifying spot in prelims yesterday, she moved up three spots to grab her first individual All-American for the Blugolds. Watch Schoenfelder Competing in 60-Meter Hurdles
Schoenfelder then ran with Jessie Reineck (Fr.-Greenville, Wis./Fox Valley Lutheran), Brooke Patterson (Sussex, Wis./Hamilton) and Steph Rouse (So.-Minnetonka, Wis./Hopkins) in the 4x400 relay. The quartet just missed out on All-American honors, placing ninth with a time of 3:52.97, just .3 seconds off of their school record time that the same four athletes set last weekend.
Schoenfelder's fifth place finish capped all of the scoring for the Blugold women, as they tied for 43rd with 4 points. UW-Oshkosh won the National Championship with 56 team points.
This historical National Meet caps the indoor season for the Blugold men and women, and both teams will take a month off before starting the outdoor season on April 5 at UW-La Crosse.
Indoor Track & Field Teams Have Strong First Day at Nationals
Posted: March 8, 2013 - 7:15 p.m.
NAPERVILLE, Ill. (Blugolds.com) - In a day where no athletes competed in a finals competition, the UW-Eau Claire men's and women's indoor track & field teams still found plenty of highlights in the first day of the NCAA Division III Championships in Naperville, Ill., hosted by North Central College.
All five Blugolds competing today performed well enough to get themselves in a position to place in tomorrow's finals, as all five will be seeded eighth or better.
Cody Prince (So.-Appleton, Wis./North) set a new indoor school record in the 400-meter dash with a time of 48.97 seconds, besting a one-year-old school record by .03 seconds. Prince came into the meet seeded 10th, but will be seeded fifth in the finals tomorrow.
Thurgood Dennis (So.-Allouez, Wis./Green Bay Notre Dame) saw his 400 record get erased by Prince earlier the day, but also ran well to grab the top spot in the preliminary round of the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.82 seconds. He will be seeded first in tomorrow's final.
First time Nationals participant Matt Scott (Jr.-Kiel, Wis.) placed sixth in the mile run with a time 4:16.55 to grab one of the 10 spots for the final tomorrow afternoon.
Brandon Zarnoth (So.-Appleton, Wis./North) currently finds himself in sixth place in the heptathlon. After four out of the eight events completed, Zarnoth has 2,713 points.
The lone women's individual qualifier, Erin Schoenfelder (Sr. Antioch, Ill./Antioch Community) found out just how much every little bit counts, as she was the last person to qualify for the 60-meter hurdles finals with a time of 8.89 seconds, just edging out Ashante Little from Wheaton (Mass.) by .01 seconds for the last qualifying spot. She will be seeded eighth tomorrow.
Since the Blugolds did not have scored events today, they do not accumulate any team points. UW-La Crosse leads the men's side with 35 points, while UW-Oshkosh leads on the women's side with 26 points.
After a successful first day, all 12 Blugold qualifiers will compete tomorrow in a total of nine scored events. Action will get underway at 11 a.m.

I have a google about this there.
I will shortly be replacing my "mirror-door" dual-boot G4 with a new 27-inch iMac. I've always used the G4 with the Apple 20-inch cinema display (it works perfectly well with both OS9 and OS X despite anything you've read to the contrary). I have a couple of programs which will only run in OS9 (must be native, not Classic) so I will keep the G4 for this purpose, but I don't have room for two displays. OK, here's the question - is there any way that the new 27-inch iMac can act as a monitor for the G4 running OS9 for the few occasions I will still need OS9? I know it can be used as a remote monitor for OS X using special adaptor cables...but OS9? Any information appreciated. Thanks

Cold arctic weather and battery life?
Cold arctic weather and battery life?
Looks like you nailed it Kiteulf:(
Have to agree with torst on this. Here in Canada 60 mph on dry roads in the cold is common, and much higher speeds, too. Lots of accidents result from people not dialing it back soon enough when conditions change, though.
To go 120km/t and not lose your license reqires a speed limit of 90km/h or higher. A very small percent of Norwegian roads have this limit, most roads are 80km/t (lose your license at 116km/h) or 70km/h (lose it at 106km/h). In addition to that many roads have speed cameras that take your picture at different places and compare the average speed so on those roads you can't even go 10km/h over the limit without being ticketed.
When I do my 283km drive to my cabin the first 70km are on roads with 100km/h limit. Still I do end up with an average speed of about 73-75km since most of the rest of the roads have 60-70-80km/h limits.
Very few people here in central eastern Norway do more than 10km/h over the limit on those roads. If you do 10km/h over on a 80km/h road you will pass 5x as many cars as those who pass you.
120km/h only happens on the multi-lane 100km/h highways, and those are not long stretches of road (maybe 100km in a stretch before encountering lower speed limits).
Have you considered to buy a small Honda generator and a 10 litre fuel container for emergency purposes? I thought about this. 2 to 4kw should be possible. This would help you also heating the car in a case of emergency. The front trunk is perfect for storing this.
Psssst - I was told, that the Tesla people do not like to hear this.
Re Torst: I have driving experience in cold & snow. When it is near zero fahrenheit, you can go quite fast on packed snow and have good traction. I'm talking about dry snow, not the kind you get in cities after salt is applied.
The key thing is roads must be mostly empty. If you are alone, you can drive fast as Torst has described and still be safe. With other drivers around, you must drive at the same speed as others, and try to keep a safe distance between cars. And hope that none of the other drivers do anything stupid!
I am sorry to writhe this: You are stupid. DO NOT BYE A TESLA! I want smart people to drive EV, not an idiot who thinks that the law of physic is some stupid rules you can out smart!
I am very sorry.
Ouch...what are you REALLY thinking
@torst1 Cause it is pitch black all winter. That means you know ahead of curves if you have ongoing traffic. No light ahead you can make wide turns or even powerslide around the bends.
And drive over people. Use your brains, will you. Preferably before you end up killing someone.
Julius,North Norway | January 30, 2013
I am sorry to writhe this: You are stupid. DO NOT BYE A TESLA! I want smart people to drive EV, not an idiot who thinks that the law of physic is some stupid rules you can out smart!
I am very sorry.
Nice! The Rant and the Apology all in one post. Sames us all time.
I am very sorry, but if you read all in this thread i think you will be scared to. And I was not thinking, I will flag my self as inappropriate.
torst1 - I have concluded you are a nut
No, he's just a teenager that is going thru his time of rebellion against authority and thinking that stupidity combined with what he thinks is macho attitude is somehow cool.
Don't be patronizing, he manage very well to writhe all the wrong things. I feel sorry for that poor boy.
And I always thought that Norwegians were cool headed people instead they are on each others throat. This is the most vulgar and aggressive post I have ever seen on this forum. Calling each other names will not help your cause.
Carefree: I agree totally!
As a Norwegian reservation holder, I'm embarrassed by this behavior.
That said, the only complaint should be that the delivery can't come soon enough. ;)
Everybody, you've all been had by a 14 year old: torst1
Let's stop this silliness
Never mind the idiots who have been insulting you.
To the idiots: stop flaming please.
@Torst1: good luck with you shopping decision.
It is wonderful to watch norsemen duking it out on a forum for electric cars. The irony is palpable. Methinks a car company in sunny Caltifornia isn't going to focus much market research on a country with 5 million people (half the population of Florida).. Every Norwegian I have met was charming and gracious - these guys must be from the old school barbarian tradition. Although there are apparently a lot of trolls there...
I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt till your last post. You really went way way over the line.
Pungoteague_Dave: My guess is Norway will take about 10% of the yearly Model S production, so it is in no way a small market for Tesla.
Northern Norway has 9 months total darkness and 3 months bad skiing conditions.
When it`s dark (as pr definition) and really cold (as pr definition) you have a) tremendous traction and b) you spot the oncoming lights well before curves....not that there are many people here anyways.
You can go like a Rally driver....untill you meet an elk. But that`s not very likely as hunting has brought down population countrywide.
Seriously, cold weather will affect the available range. Cant say how much on the S but from pervious EV experience it is 30% less than a summer day.
a standard charge will give you 432 rated km, and since we dont drive the rated way take off another 10%, that`s 389km. Less winter consumtion 30%, that`s 272km. Going completly empty is not a option so effective winter, proper winter, will be 200-250 km without charging on a 85kwh battery.
I`ll tell you next winter when I have my own S here
In real life though, knowing you need all the range you have. Likely 300, maybe even 350km with a rangecharge is well within the envelope.
Distance Oslo-Notodden is 114km, return trip 230km.
This can be done on a singel charge come hell or high water.
Working in Notodden, even winter, is no sweat.
Also, finding a normal wall outlet 230V 16A (or even 10A) is not hard and will mean you have warm battery and more kwh for return trip.
@landmal, you probably are not from North yourself if you claim that you have 9 months of total darkness, 6 months is the most you can have. The other 6 Sun is shining.
The mountains block the very low sun for 3 months. ;)
If you live in a valley, or in case on Norway, fjord. Then that is not even a joke, you might not really see the Sun for 9 months of the year. It's not total darkness however for most of the time either way, even when you don't see the Sun when it is still below horizon it does light up the sky, and the dusk can last long time before it gets dark. If it gets dark.
(as Canadian you know this, but for Southern people that get dark every night like someone turns off the lights it might feel odd. It feels like Sun never sets even when it does).
A recent night drive from Las Vegas to Barstow at near freezing temperatures did affect range. At 71 mph, the 160 mile trip took an extra 40 miles of range and that was with the heat off in the last 30 minutes of the journey. Another driver started with 190 miles of charge and had one mile left when arriving at the Barstow SuperCharger. They managed to do it by slowing down, getting in the draft of a semi truck and monitoring their energy usage carefully. Since there is an RV park in Yermo, there was another charging location as a backup. Storing a sleeping bag in the vehicle is always a good idea during winter travel for both ICE and BEV cars in case of breakdown.
@Timo: It was a joke regarding the sun and weather. That aside I am from high up north, albeit live down on the south coast now.
Will be very interesting to see how my car performs next winter. Signals are I`ll be getting it late fall 2013.
Elon Musk have other expectations than you when it comes to the norsemen
He answered a lot of questions and and one of them was about reduction of range in cold climate.
Its about 10%-20% less he said

VANCOUVER — Saying it was a tough decision and a difficult one, Vancouver Canucks new president of hockey operations Trevor Linden today fired head coach John Tortorella and top assistant Mike Sullivan.
"I have a great deal of respect for John and Mike and what they have accomplished in their coaching careers," Linden said. "They're good people and good coaches and I want to wish them and their families all the best in their future endeavours."
Tortorella and Sullivan lasted just one season with the Canucks. The club badly underachieved and missed the playoffs, finishing 12th of 14 teams in the NHL's Western Conference. The Canucks were 26th on the power play, 28th in team offence and 30th in third-period goals. They finished with 83 points and, with 191 goals, were the lowest scoring team in franchise history over a full season.
Assistant coaches Glen Gulutzan and Darryl Williams, as well as goalie coach Rollie Melanson, are being retained, Linden said.
"Today is about the future and the goal of getting this team back to the Stanley Cup playoffs," Linden continued. "My vision it to bring exciting, winning hockey back to Rogers Arena with the ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup. I came into this with a rather neutral position but after thoroughly evaluating every facet of the organization, the more I looked at the situation I felt that a change was necessary and a fresh start was needed."
Linden, who has yet to hire a general manager, was asked if he was prepared to hire a coach before he had a new GM in place.
"First of all, I'm encouraged by the managerial search," he responded. "I think I've gotten less pushback on timing. I've got a real strong candidate list and I will be starting the interview process next week so I'm encouraged by that. I can think those two processes can move along together for a certain period of time. Obviously it's important that the manager has a great deal of input on the coaching direction so that would be the ideal situation. Things happen quickly and change quickly."
Linden was also asked whether pressure from a disgruntled fan base hastened or contributed to the decision to jettison Tortorella.
"I think I can separate those two things fairly well," he said. "After talking to numerous people within the organization and understanding and looking at the facts of where this team was this year as a group and as individuals, everyone was disappointed with the results — coaches, fans, players — and I just felt that, given other circumstances that I looked at, it was just the right thing to do moving forward. When a new manager comes in, I want to have the ability to have full flexibility and create a new vision together.
"I think a coach for me is someone who is a career coach and has been experienced at many levels," added Linden. "I think he is a teacher and able to communicate with his players on many levels and understands players need to be communicated with differently for the different type of personalities. I think a coach is someone who has a real distinct style of play and believes that their style of play is the way to success."
Linden would not comment on specific candidates in his GM search. Boston Bruins assistant GM Jim Benning, a one-time Canucks teammate of Linden's, is considered a leading candidate.
"I think it's important that (GM search list) stays somewhat confidential," he explained. "I haven't gotten any pushback on timing from a playoff standpoint."

Reports of the demise of Mount Laurel Performing Arts Center have been greatly exaggerated, according to its owners.
Reports of the demise of Mount Laurel Performing Arts Center have been greatly exaggerated, according to its owners.
Officials from center owner O'Neill Properties in King of Prussia said Thursday that the Bushkill concert venue, despite published reports to the contrary, is not closing and still hopes to make an announcement "as soon as it can" regarding the short and long-term future of the center.
Spokesman Dan Mita of O'Neill Properties vaguely said the center plans to announce a 2013 season in coming weeks, but couldn't nail down a date.
"The Mount Laurel Center Performing Arts Center is positioning itself to make an announcement as soon as it can with regard to any and all hosted events for the 2013 season," he said.
According to published reports, 2012 venue general manager Christopher Perrotti said he believed the center wouldn't open for 2013 — and there was mounting evidence to support that claim.
There has been no announcement of what acts would be coming to the venue for a summer season, while other venues already have full slates. Neither the website nor the social media sites had been updated since last summer.
"We understand why there could be speculation in the absence of an announcement to date," Mita said. "But no decision has been made to close the center. The ownership is continuing to assess how to position and operate the center this year in the short term and for the long term."
It wouldn't be the first time the venue has made a later announcement for a summer concert series — though those April announcements in 2006 and 2011 were less than promising.
Both times it happened, management officials would later say it was too late to successfully pull off a full concert season.
The last two summers, the venue has had two different management teams. Neither was hired back.
Last year, the center moved from its 10,000-person capacity with lawn and indoor seats to only the 2,500 seats indoor seats. Lawn seats were closed.
It was the first time since it opened in 2002 that the lawn seats were not open for national concerts at the Bushkill Falls Road venue in Lehman Township.
The center was closed for nearly three summer seasons from 2008 to 2010 while a manager could be found, and the owners decided to revive it.
Perrotti was "let go," according to Mita, last August near the end of the concert season. He had taken over for New Jersey-based The Total Concert Team, which also was not hired back.
Mita didn't say whether another management team has been chosen yet for the 2013 season.
He did say center ownership has learned much in the last two years about the direction of how the center should function in the future.
"For one, we've learned there is a very broad market for the center, and that it draws a large amount of patrons from northern New Jersey," he said. "And that's much further east than what we had originally assessed. We also learned that digital marketing is king these days. It's going to help us succeed."

Although Fred Hutch opened its doors in 1975, its history began nearly 20 years earlier with the vision of Seattle surgeon Dr. William Hutchinson, brother of baseball hero Fred Hutchinson. Hutchinson dreamed of building an organization that would provide funds and laboratory space to physicians pursuing research. In 1956, he founded the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation to study heart surgery, cancer and endocrine diseases.
By 1962, Hutchinson envisioned another dream: a center devoted to studying cancer, the disease that would later take the life of his brother Fred in 1964. With critical help from Washington State's legendary U.S. Senator Warren Magnuson and the Seattle community, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center opened its first home in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood in 1975.
Fred Hutch quickly became the permanent home to Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, who had spent decades developing an innovative treatment for leukemia and other blood cancers. Thomas and his colleagues were working to cure cancer by transplanting human bone marrow after lethal doses of chemotherapy and radiation. At the Hutch, Thomas improved this treatment and readied it for widespread use. Since then, the pioneering procedure has saved hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide.
Thomas received the 1990 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his pioneering research, establishing a legacy of innovation and excellence that all Fred Hutch researchers strive to follow.
