The Bethel Clarion
Volume XII BETHEL INSTITUTE, ST. PAUL, MINN. NOVEMBER 23, 1932
Dr. Hagstrom Called East to Attend
Mission Board Meetings.
Professor Danielson Visits Wisconsin
and South Dakota.
Two important Mission Board meet-ings
called Dr. Hagstrom to New
York last week. he attended the
meeting of Laymen's Mission Inquiry
from November 17th to 19th, inclu-sive,
and the meeting of the American
Baptist Foreign Mission Society on
November 21st and 22nd. While on
the East Coast he is participating in
meetings at Bridgeport, Meriden, and
Hartford, Connecticut, and James-town,
New York. he expects to come
back this week, but he will leave again
on Saturday for Racine, Wisconsin,
where he is scheduled to speak at the
Danish Baptist Church on Sunday,
November 27th.
Meetings in various parts of the
country have called Professor Daniel-son
from school during the last two
weeks. On November 6th he visited
the church at Lake Nebagamon, Wis-consin;
the following week his sched-ule
called for a full week in South
Dakota, visiting churches in the inter-est
of Bethel. However, the severe
snowstorm thwarted his plans and he
returned home after visiting Sioux
Falls and Alcester, South Dakota.
Friday, November 18th, he left for La
Crosse, Wis., to speak at a Young
People's Rally and on Sunday he is
scheduled for Houston, Minn., Baptist
church. From there he goes to Chi-cago
to spend a couple of busy weeks
securing contacts for the school.
Alumni, present students, and fac-ulty
are arranging this year for what
is hoped may be the biggest reunion
in the history of the school. The
whole of Saturday, December 10th,
will be devoted to the Homecoming
program. Present plans include
Round Table discussions, a fellowship
luncheon and supper, a fast basket-ball
game, and a program of remi-niscences.
Alumni are urged to ar-rive
on December 9th in time to at-tend
the Grand Concert at the Al-liance
Tabernacle, where a chorus of
200 voices will sing under the direc-tion
of Prof. George Hultgren.
New Musical Groups
In Great Demand
An excellent combination of musical
talent has been evidenced in the form-ation
of a male quartet composed of
the following Missionary Band mem-bers:
George Bauer, Donald Bersell,
Clifford Dickau, and Leslie Johnson.
Although the organization is very
young as yet, the boys are enthusias-tically
received wherever they sing,
and are very much in demand. Thus
far they have sung at the Lake Park
Baptist and Pacific Congregational
churches, Alliance Tabernacle, and at
Mayer, Minnesota.
Another organization that has call-ed
forth much favorable comment is
the Bethel Trio, composed of Robert
Klingberg, Bror Lundgren, and Floyd
Bergfalk, who have been spreading
the "good news" in song at various
places. Among the churches visited
are the Bethany Swedish Baptist,
Hayden Heights Baptist, and the
Temple Baptist.
The latest addition to Bethel musi-cal
groups is a string band organized
under the direction of Albin. Carlson.
Violins, cello, guitars, ukuleles, man-dolins
and other stringed instruments
are included in the band. Anyone
who is able to play an instrument is
invited to join the organization. Week-ly
practices are held on Thursday eve-nings
from 6:30 to 7:30 P. M. in the
Seminary Chapel.
Theodore Bergman Rejoins
Bethel Music Faculty
Piano music took on a new interest
as Theodore Bergman, after being in-troduced
as the new piano and organ
instructor at Bethel, Wednesday, No-vember
16th, gave a charming rendi-tion
of two Grieg numbers, "Spring"
and "Puck." Before Mr. Bergman
played, he gave in a few words, some
suggestions for the proper enjoyment
of piano music. "In vocal music", he
said, "there are the words which im-measurably
help one in gaining its
interpretation, but in piano music one
has to search deeper." After his hu-morous
and interesting descriptions of
the pieces he was about to play, the
hearers could not help but enjoy them.
Mr. Bergman comes back to Bethel
after an absence of about fifteen
years, when the war interrupted his
service. At present he is associated
with the MacPhail School of Music
in Minneapolis as teacher of Organ,
Piano, and Theory; serves as organist
at the First Baptist Church in Minne-apolis;
and is active as well in con-
2ert work throughout the Northwest.
Bethel is indeed fortunate to have
an instructor of Mr. Bergman's' train-ing
and ability on its music faculty.
He has studied under Hamlin Hunt of
Minneapolis; Glen Willard Gunn,
George Liebling, and Rudolph Ganz
af Chicago; and Arthur Friedheim of
New York. Students who are inter-ested
in high class piano or organ in-struction
may consult with Mr. Berg-man
for teaching appointments.
New Clarion Criticized
By Writers' Club
The study of journalism becomes
very interesting as it is pursued by
the Writers' Club. In a recent meet-ing
the members indulged in a very
frank dicussion on the merits and
weaknesses of the new Clarion. A
great number of opinions were ad-vanced,
and a few important conclu-sions
It was agreed that the paper was of
a convenient size and that it had a
neat and pleasing appearance in gen-
2ral. The headlines were considered
somewhat vague.
Appreciation of the jokes in the last
issue was expressed, with the hope
that there would be much humor in
each issue.
The majority of students prefer
"snappy" news articles which come to
he point without tiring the reader
with uninteresting details. The
Writers' Club has discovered that
`,here is a great deal to be learned in
the art of journalistic writing, and
the members have therefore agreed
to apply themselves to the task with
Bethel Contributes
to Community Fund
Rev. R. Wilbur Babcock Addresses
Union Chapel
"There is no such thing as peace
except as it dwells in the human
heart", declared Mr. Babcock as in a
concise message on Wednesday, No-vember
16th, he laid before the stu-dent
body the fundamental principles
in the elimination of not only poverty,
but war, crime, industrial friction, and
race hatred. "War, crime and poverty
shall never be erased until the human
heart has been transformed by the
power of Jesus Christ."
"I think we ought to bow our heads
in shame that we dwell in a world
bursting with food while thousands
are suffering from starvation."
"I call you to no easy task, but it
is the greatest task in the world, for
Jesus Christ is our leader. In so far
as you fail to carry on that task, you
betray the child that is hungry; the
boy that is being led to the peniten-tiary;
the wife, the mother, the chil-dren
of those who are called to give
their lives in cruel war."
Stirred by the realization that their
responsibility consisted in more than
contributing material goods, the stu-dent
body and faculty members gave
liberally to the offering taken for the
Community fund.
At a recent meeting of the Semi-nary
students it was decided to dis-continue
the Bethel Evangel for one
year for financial reasons. This re-ligious
journal has been published
since 1917, and during its fourteen
years of existence has enjoyed an ex-cellent
reputation because of its high
aim and character. It will be missed
by many of its friends who have en-joyed
its• uplifting spiritual tone and
received blessings from its articles.
Although forced to give up their
own publication, the Seminary stu-dents
will seek expression through
some other medium, probably through
the Baptist Evangel, our denomina-tional
paper for young people, al-though
no definite move in this direc-tion
has been made as yet.
Since a considerable number of sub-scriptions
have already been received,
the Evangel is suggesting that these
be transferred to the Clarion list.
Alpha Beta Presents
Novel Entertainment
An Amos and Andy skit, a negro
'mammy" singing in high falsetto
soprano, a medieval tragedy, a hump-backed,
bearded dwarf, all featured in
the opening festivity of the Alpha
Beta Society, Saturday evening, No-vember
5th. Most of the guests were
dressed in costume.
The program in charge of Donald
Bersell, president of the organization,
marked the beginning of the season
of the Academy Literary Society.
Meetings are usually of a more or less
formal nature, the programs usually
including readings and addresses, de-bates,
impromptu speeches and music,
and are held every other Saturday
evening at the Academy Chapel.
The members of the Junior Col-lege
Club and rriencis enjoyed an in-teresting
anu varied musical program
one, eu uy the program committee of
tne uoilege (Au°, iviunuay evening,
iNovenwer 14tn. Donau Peterson,
cellist, was the main artist. he of-fered
three groups oz songs, including
some or the well known ciassics sucn
as Hanaei's "Largo", Rubenstein's
-1VIeloay in F", Schubert's "Serenaae",
as well as popular numbers of a
lighter type as - Londonderry Air",
and "A rerfect Day." He was ac-c-
mpanied at the piano by Miss Lor-raine
Besides the instrumental numbers,
vocal music was given by a trio com-posea
of ivlisses lima aria Evelyn N el-s_
n ana Dorothy heabiom. They sang
"blessings", and "Thanks be to God."
Of not the least interest was' a
reading given by John Anderson on
-Thanksgiving", which was very en-chusiasticaliy
received. He responded
to an encore with a Swedish reading.
College students are urged to take
advantage or these splenuid programs
wnich are given at the GuLege meet-
_ngs every third 1.1i,nciay.
Fifteen girls of the Academy have
organized a "stitch and Chatter" Club
with 1v1iss Effie N eison as advisor.
The members are the following:
Eunice Anderson, President; Alice
Anderson, Vice .erLsAlenL; Lenore
Nyhagen, Secretary; Louise Jack, As-sistant
Secre,aiy; Eunice awanson,
Jane Ewald, Isabelle Erlandson, Bea-trice

Johnson, Eleanor Raudenbush, Ruth
Swans,n, and Lorraine Klein.
As yet a full program of plans has
not been drawn up. However, one or
two baskets of food will be donated
to the poor for Thanksgiving.
Alexis Society Observes
Washington Bi-Centennial
A pageant illustrating events in the
life of Washington, in commemoration
of the 200th anniversary of his birth,
was given at the regular meeting of
the Alexis Society held November
16th. Scenes were shown represent-ing
Washington as a child, as a home-maker,
as a soldier, as the Leader of
the nation; and the final scene repre-sented
Columbia paying homage to
the "Father of His Country." Re-ligious'
and patriotic songs were sung
during the course of the pageant.
Between the scenes Floyd Bergfalk
rendered several piano selections. Re-freshments
were served in colonial
style during the social hour.
Gustavus Adolphus Program
On November 9th, a special pro-gram
in commemoration of the three
hundredth anniversary of the death of
Gustavus Adolphus was presented.
John Dikkers spoke of Gustavus
Adolphus as "Leader and King", and
Virgie Dikkers presented him as "The
Man", describing some of his char-acteristics
such as his courage, re-igious'
faith, sincerity, and love of
'ountry. Some of the notable hymns
of the period of Gustavus Adolphus
were sung by David Guston; and a
>wedish folksong was sung by Lillian
Kardell and Marian Berglund. After
the program Swedish coffee and coffee
bread were served by two young ladies
dressed in Swedish national costumes'.
Meetings of interest to be held in
he near future will be those on De-
'ember 7th, when Axel Backlund will
give a lecture on "Dr. C. G. Lager-
7;ren," and on December 14th, when
a Christmas program will be rendered.
Miss Ida Erickson
Miss Ida Erickson, came back to
her Alma Mater to become secretary
to Dr. Hagstrom in June, 1929. After
graduating from Bethel Academy in
1916, Miss Erickson attended the Ot-tawa
University in Ottawa, Kansas,
where she earned her B. A. degree.
While at Ottawa she worked her way
through college by doing secretarial
work in the office there. Miss Erick-son
specialized in commercial train-ing
and for two years taught commer-cial
subjects at Sapulpa, Okla. When
Eleanore Bonde-Nichols left Bethel,
Dr. Hagstrom was confronted with
the problem of finding a secretary
who was in close contact with the
denominational work and who could
take care of correspondence in both
English and Swedish. From a long
list of possible candidates Miss Erick-son
was chosen. Assuming the mani-fold
responsibilities of this position
was no easy task, but Miss Erickson's
cheerful disposition, calm manner, and
willingness to work, has made her a
valuable worker in the office.
Friendship is, perhaps, the greatest
asset in a person's life. What would
our lives be without friends ? They
would be intolerable.
It is true that we came into this
world alone and we go out alone, but
it is just as true that we cannot live
in this world alone. The love of a
friend is the dearest thing in all the
world. Whether in happiness or in
sorrow, the heart and love of a friend
is our common need.
When we are burdened, it is a true
friend who shares the burdens with
us; when our pleasures come, it is a
true friend who enjoys them with us.
A friend is also one with whom we
can share the things that lie closest
to our hearts.
Many of our friendships are formed
during our youth, and these become
dearer as the years pass on. With the
exception of the friendship of Jesus
Christ there is no greater treasure
than a true earthly friend.
Shakespeare said:
"The friends thou hast, and their
adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with
hoops of steel."
Friendship is worth cultivating, and
especially in a school like Bethel.
When true friendship exists through-out
the school years, ties are made
that often remain through life as
perennial blessings. Friendship pre-vents
friction, discord, and we might
say, that disharmony that so often
prevails in school where friendships
are not being cultivated.
Friendship is more contagious than
anything else. If our associates are
friendly we are bound to be influenced
by them. Vulgarity, sarcasm and un-kindness
are also contagious and in-fluence
us greatly. Let us at Bethel
be in the friendly sphere.
Fast as the rolling seasons bring
The hours of fate to those we love
Each pearl that leaves the broken
Is set in Friendship's crown above.
As narrower grows the earthly chains,
The circle widens in the sky;
These are our treasures that remain
But those are stars that beam on high.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes.

At this season when in accordance with the
custom established by our forefathers we pause a
while first to count our blessings and then to give
thanks for them, we naturally think of our school.
How much it has meant to us ! How different our
lives would be if we had never been here. Yes, we
are thankful for Bethel.
But can we not make our gratitude known in
a concrete way ? Bethel, like many other schools,
is not having an easy time financially these de-pression
days. Ought we not do what we can to
help ? We can do much if we only apply ourselves
to the task. First, we can do our share to make
our school the best school possible ; then we can
advertise wherever we go. And we can do still
more. Seniors have given up their Annual. Per-haps
others of us could sacrifice in some way to
help a good cause. Think about it !
We Need Reform
Recently two silly girls were observed at a
church service. They apparently had come in for
what they considered a good time, and sat giggling
and laughing throughout the entire meeting. They
thought they were smart. Those who observed
them thought they were ill-bred, rude, stupid, in-considerate
of others.
We wonder if an outsider would not have like
thoughts upon attending our chapel services. Is
it necessary to have kindergarten antics in chapel?
Is it necessary to have so much noise and confus-ion
that the leader must shout to open the service?
Is it necessary to take so much time getting
started that students must sit and laugh and
gossip, or read newspapers in order to utilize the
time ? • We do not think so.
All of us, we are sure, would appreciate more
orderly and reverent chapel services.
Parasite is an ugly word, however it is de-fined.
Those who are more kindly disposed would
give the definition : A parasite is one who goes
through a revolving door without pushing. To
others the word brings associations that are not
so pleasant, but that are far more realistic.
What goes to make a school ? Books, lec-tures,
class rooms ? Rather, that intangible some-thing
that pervades and then transcends books and
class rooms—that becomes in reality personality.
To enumerate all the elements or constituents
that contribute to Bethel's personality would be
difficult. Fortunately, it is not necessary to do
so. But it might profit us to think of some of
them. Take for example our literary societies,
Alpha Beta, Alexis, the Junior College Club. And
basketball games and other athletic events, Junior
and Senior Programs and other class doings which
make a different type of contribution.
The success of these affairs depends mainly
upon the support and presence of the students.
The best program falls flat when there is a small
audience, and the strongest basketball team loses
heart when there is no one to cheer.
All of us enjoy the personality of Bethel.
Let's help push the door !

Our Book Corner
By H. C. Wingblade
This time I wish to introduce a very readable book,
particularly to those who are interested in that kind of
thing—A Faggot of Torches by Frank W. Boreham of
Melbourne (Abingdon Press, Cincinnati). This is only
one of the many volumes of his essays that have inspired
Doctor Boreham holds that ever since those creative
words were spoken which brought order out of chaos, the
Creative Word has continued to work miracles. And in
this volume he gives the living texts which have wrought
transforming life in the hearts of twenty-two world lead-ers—
scientists, statesmen, literary lights, as well as purely
religious workers.
For instance, he shows that the mighty text that was
ever in the heart of Gladstone was this: "Keep me as the
apple of thine eye. Hide me under the shadow of thy
wing." Of Carlyle it was, "For we know that all things
work together for good to them that love God." For the
great Pascal, whose scientific discoveries electrified the
world time and again, it was. "Righteous Father, the
world has not known thee, but I have known thee." And
this Pascal, called the most brilliant man of his age,
prayed constantly, "0 my Redeemer, may I never be
separated from thee."
The book is well worth reading. You will find it on
the reserve shelf.
Student Opinion
There is something fascinating about bulletin boards,
because they reveal as nothing else what is uppermost in
the minds of people. They are mirrors of public interest
or thought.
It is with unmingled pleasure that the writer has for
the first time in his sojourn at Bethel seen the bulletin
board at the Academy Building treated with respect. In
former years an announcement or notice would scarce
remain posted for a day before some mediocre mind would
deface it or attempt to display wit. Instead of wit, it dis-played
a shallow mind. This year I have noticed that
material can remain up sometimes for weeks without being
mutilated. I believe that we have shown wonderful signs
of progress. I think we have a right to compliment our-selves
and also to feel a sense of justified pride at our
—An Observer.
And Then This One!
When one comes into the school, the first sight that
meets one's eye is the bulletin board. And truly it is a
sight! Notices are posted "helter skelter" with seemingly
no attempt at orderliness. What can we do to remedy
this condition ? Do we not want to have outsiders who
come in, get a good impression of our school by seeing a
neat, well-kept bulletin board ? To whom can we delegate
the task of keeping it tidy ?
A deplorable case of carelessness was observed in the
lower hall in front of the boys' locker room. Someone
had broken a piece of glass, and left it lying on the floor.
A student came along, and not noticing the glass, stepped
on it. The glass cut his shoe, and went into his foot.
Luckily for the student it was only a small cut, but it
might have proved serious. Let us have more cleanliness,
and less carelessness, at Bethel.
—Ref or mer.
I By Esther Sabel I
A Thought for Thanksgiving. "Go your way, 1
at ethe fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions I
! unto him for whom nothing is prepared." Nehemiah 1
i 8:10. It had been a time of depression for the people j
I of Israel—economic as' well as otherwise. But there !
! were rifts in the clouds;• here and there a silvery
1 bit of lining shone through. They had returned
after an exile of many years to their own land; they /
I had finished rebuilding the temple and the broken i
walls. Now they were ready to celebrate the Feast 1
of Tabernacles, their Harvest-home.
In spite of the fact that there were many burdens i
that still oppressed them, Nehemiah admonished th e i
people to eat and drink of the best they had, with i
grateful hearts recognizing the hand of the Giver
of all good gifts, but also to express their gratitude I
in a practical kindness, sharing their good things
with those who were in need.
The conclusion of their obedience to the admoni- i
I tion is that "All the people went their way to eat, I
ahnadppyto.,, drink, and to send portions, and to make i
1 great joy." They had been refreshed themselves, v
I and in opening their hands to satisfy the wants of

had found an even greater joy. "He who is doing I

To see Ray down in the gym with
the boys is as much fun as watching
the monkeys at Monkey Island. One
of his great problems was to try to
get Toensing to run faster, but he met
with no success, until he happened to
notice an old broom lying under a
bench. With this in hand he tried
again. Strange to say, after he had
cracked it on the floor a few times,
Toensing became a regular Ben East-man,
burning up the floor. Another
amusing spectacle is watching Ray
teach Wickstrom to "fake it." He
would have Wickstrom practice this,
and then he would shout, "No, not
that way," and would walk toward
Wickstrom with the broom. Lloyd
showed signs of uneasiness and start-ed
to back up and didn't feel easy
again until the coach had thrown the
broom in the corner.
Look out! Here comes the ball.
Peggy passes it to Louise with a swift
shot through the air. Poor Eunice
doesn't quite make out the sense of
not being allowed to walk with the
ball. Lenore and Ruth are now in an
abbreviated huddle, but the highly re-spected
referee, Miss Paleen, calls a
jump ball. Lorraine Klein says it
will be a miracle if she ever makes a
basket. And it will!
They have stopped. What can be
the matter ? Oh yes, it's the 3rd
quarter. They're at it again and just
look at Eunice and Peggy scramble
for that ball! It isn't worth much,
but it means a lot to have it in their
own possession. One quarter left to
go, with the score nothing to nothing.
That's it, Lois, let's see you do it
again! You sure can keep the op-ponents
Only five more seconds, and Peggy
makes her usual basket, to bring a
sweeping victory of one to nothing.

Junior College Boys Show
Fighting Spirit
The Junior College Boys are work-ing
hard "under the keen eye of Coach
eison, in an attempt to outshine the
Academy Team. Although phis is the
first year the College has had a team,
it promises to show itself worthy of
support. Some of the boys have play-ed
on junior and senior high scnoo.s
in St. Paul or other cities, before
coming to Bethel. Earl Widen is the
main cog in the team so far; his drib-bling,
passing, and shooting features
every afternoon's practice session.
Frankie Nelson is progressing rapidly,
and in a few weeks he will be a good
running mate for Widen. Don Peter-son
has also shown cage abilities
which are very promising. Other
members who are working hard for a
position on the team are: Earl An-derson,
Vic Johnson, Cliff "Musical"
i.,indor, Leonard Larson, Andy "Amos"
Sinkiewicz, and Vern Wessman.
Physical Education
Bethel boys who do not have time to
go out for the basketball team have
physical education twice every week.
Sammy Wessman is the instructor.
Bethel to Have Skating Rink
Bethel is to have a skating rink in
the near future. As soon as the
weather permits, the grass will be
burnt off, and the rink flooded. This
will provide a rink right at Bethel
and will probably be the scene of
many skating parties'. It will also
provide a place for Bethel's hockey
team, which is as yet in the embryonic
Buy A
To The
Coach Ray Nelson Optimistic Over
Fine Work of Players
Headed by "The Big Three", Kock,
Toensing, and Wallin, veterans of last
year, there is a merry scramble for a
regular position on the squad. Carl
"Mike" Kock continues to show his
form of last year, and will figure
greatly in the success of the team
again this year. Toensing is a much
improved player, and can be relied
upon to play good ball. Wallin, who
will play center, has his work cut
ut for him, in filling the shoes of
Lloyd Magnusson, center of last year,
')ut we know Bob will make an en-viable
name for himself. "Bud" Hoff-man
shows great possibilities; al-though
small in size he has' already
shown his ability, both in offense and
defense. Virgil Ols - n has pleased
Coach Nelson with his willingness to
learn. He is always hustling, and he
will be hard to beat. Harold "Pat"
Tasker is rapidly climbing into the
'imelight, and will also be fighting for
a position. Other members who are
maturing rapidly are, John Binder,
Clif Dickau, Carl Holmberg, Bob Mar-vin,
and Lloyd Wickstrom. Bethel
plays its first conference game with
Minnehaha Academy, December 13, on

The Junior Class has organized with
Virgil Olson as president, Beatrice
Myrick, secretary, and Esther Chris-tianson,
treasurer. They have had
very interesting English classes so
far this semester. In the beginning
of the year there were some really
good debates on such subjects as capi-tal
punishment and the 18th Amend-ment.
At present reports are being
given on biographies of outstanding
characters such as Moody, Bordon,
and Maria Sanford.
Seniors have been busily employed
these days choosing their rings and

with the most heated arguments over
the best choices. The rings and pins
have finally been chosen, and a

upon. Wright's Studio will get the

Rev. A. H. Norum
Gives Lecture on Cuba
An interesting lecture on Cuba, fol-lowed
by a portrayal of Cuban life in
beautifully colored stereopticon slides
was presented by Rev. A. H. Norum
of the House of Faith Presbyterian
church of Minneapolis, as the feature
of the Student Volunteer program,
Tuesday evening, November 15th, in
the Seminary chapel. This lecture is
the third of its kind presented at
Bethel by Mr. Norum.
"Diversified farming," he said, "is
the only hope for Cuba's economical
improvement. The intensification of
sugar raising, with its uncertain re-turns,
has made and unmade million-aires
almost overnight." The resultant
poverty and suffering were vividly
described and the audience was deep-ly
moved by the stories of the starv-ing
humanity seen during Mr. No-rum's
visit there. Adding to the ser-iousness
of the poor conditions is the
immorality throughout the country,
and the need of higher education for
the people.
Speaking of the spiritual conditions,
Mr. Norum described several of the
schools for religious training, espe-cially
mentioning the one conducted
by Mr. Thompson, an American mis-sionary,
a school which had at the
time forty-six students enrolled in its
four year course of Bible study. "Cuba
is spiritually hopeful," said Mr. No-rum,
"for the Gospel is well accepted".
He quoted one of the faithful old
Christian workers there as a testi-mony
to the staunchness of faith of
those who have accepted Christ.
"There is no modernism here," he was
told, "for we believe the Bible!"
The great need of Cuba for more
Christian workers, and for the con-stant
prayers of God's people every-where
was simply but strongly set
forth, both in the lecture and in the
pictures which followed.
"There are haunting memories of
Cuba," said Mr. Norum in closing.
"One is the sunsets on the water, an-other,
the beautiful avenues of palms;
and the one which haunts me most,
the starving children!"
The sad news reached Bethel that
Dr. 0. F. Freed passed away on No-vember
11. The cause of his death
was blood poisoning. Dr. Freed
established a hospital at Cokato, Min-nesota
a number of years ago and has
done outstanding work as a physician.
Faculty, alumni, and friends lament
the passing away of this worthy mem-ber
of their group.
Esther Nelson is returning to her
chosen field of service in West China,

IBM Global Procurement Supplier Integration Strategy
The mission of IBM Global Procurement is to acquire goods and services efficiently and effectively for internal and external customers with the most competitive supply chain cost. This is done with an eye toward flexibility to react to changing market demands.
We fulfill our mission by using commodity councils to strategically source all goods and services and through the use of common processes across the global enterprise. This is conducted in an environment of pervasive e-Procurement across all steps of the acquisition process from initial market intelligence, strategic sourcing, tactical implementation, invoicing, and electronic payments. These e-Procurement processes are an integral part of an optimized end-to-end supply chain, which benefits our customers and suppliers. e-Procurement applications are based upon open public standards, are designed to enable B2B integration between IBM and its suppliers to reduce transaction and handling costs, and to enable automated timely information exchange.
Within the broad umbrella of B2B are Server-to-Browser (S2B) applications, such as Web Order Invoice, used to support purchase order and invoice transactions for our low transaction-volume suppliers, accessible through a web browser. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and RosettaNet (an XML implementation), which are our Server-to-Server (S2S) integration enablers, support a broad range of business processes used to connect IBM's back-end applications to the suppliers'back-end applications to support high transaction-volume suppliers.

HANCOCK — Area skiers will see big changes on two of the Middlebury College Snow Bowl's premier runs this winter as about $450,000 worth of work has been done to the popular Allen and Ross ski trails.
The ongoing work, which is characterized by a widening and re-grading of the slopes, was prompted by concerns of trail safety as well as pursuing future energy savings by reducing the need for snowmaking.
Tom Wells, owner of Randolph-based Royal Trail Works, which is doing the work at the Snow Bowl, explained that many ski trails around the state were designed to industry standards of 50 years ago and are not as suitable for today's equipment that allows for faster speeds and a more radical response from today's skis or snowboards. The combination of higher performance ski equipment and less snowfall to cover the uneven terrain of many trails in the Northeast, Wells said, has caused concern for trail safety — especially on trails used for collegiate racing.

ADDISON COUNTY — A soggy spring put an early damper on summer sales for many local businesses, but a strong July and August helped them rebound to close out the season on a strong note.
"It was kind of a slow beginning, but August showed some really good signs," said Jeff Costello, general manager of the Middlebury Inn. "We saw walk-in business that we hadn't seen in a few years."
Costello's appraisal was echoed not only by several county business owners, but by Vermont Tourism & Marketing Commissioner Bruce Hyde. Hyde is also an inn owner and former Republican House member whose district included Granville.

MIDDLEBURY — People driving in and around Middlebury will need to contend with traffic delays and detours for at least another month as workers push ahead with infrastructure improvements on College Street, a traffic signalization project on Court Street and the repaving of a large section of Route 7.
Workers have spent most of the summer replacing water, sewer and storm drain infrastructure along portions of College Street, ranging from its intersection with Main Street to where the state highway begins at the western base of the hill that leads to the Middlebury College campus on Route 125.
Most of the College Street work has been completed between the Main Street and Weybridge Street intersections, according to Middlebury Director of Operations Dan Werner. Sidewalk work was scheduled this week on the north side of College Street, followed by the next phase of water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure replacement west of the Weybridge Street intersection.
CORNWALL - Two men were killed on Sept. 20, when their Ultra-Lite aircraft crashed in the woods north of Morse Road in Cornwall.
At this time, Vermont State Police have yet to release the names of the two victims from the crash.

A land of diversity and striking contrasts, the USA caters to every possible holiday requirement. From impeccable beaches, remarkable natural beauty, world-class museums, theatres and art galleries, to an exceptional music and nightlife scene and top-notch sports facilities, it's far more likely that you'll be spoilt for choice than be stuck for things to do.
The images of America created in our minds tell of a land of dazzling cityscapes teeming with people, as often as they do of desert roads, cacti, milkshakes and diners, and you can find all of these on your American holiday. And then there's the country's outstanding natural attractions making it a paradise for hikers, surfers, skiers and those who love the great outdoors.
From the delis of New York and the organic juice bars of Los Angeles, to New England lobster and California burritos, food is a dominant part of US culture. California is known as the cereal bowl of the nation, and its excellent climate means it supplies the freshest produce throughout the land. Fresh fish is caught every day off the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and of course, you can't go far in the US without encountering a burger bar or hotdog stand. From Chinatown to Little India, thriving immigrant communities also mean that authentic and delicious international cuisine is available pretty much everywhere you go.
Try Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art or choose from Washington DC's excellent Smithsonian collection. History buffs will love walking the Freedom Trail in Boston, The National Mall in Washington DCor the staggeringly impressive Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. America boasts some of the best live performance venues in the world so why not catch a show on Broadway or visit the San Francisco Ballet during your trip. Music fans have their pick of iconic venues like Radio City Music Hall, or smaller clubs like Blues Alley in Washington DC.
With a range of options as diverse as the landscape, whatever activity tickles your fancy, you'll find it in the USA. The Yosemite National Park in California offers some glorious hiking, with a mix of easy and difficult trails suitable for everyone from amateurs to experts. If swimming's your thing, aside from the great beaches on both the east and west coasts, there are some great alternative places for a dip, from secluded swim holes to crystal clear lakes. And if you're after winter sports, Colorado is the place for you, whether you're a snowboarding thrill-seeker, a first-time skier or whether you're looking for a family winter wonderland.
For sun, sand, bright lights and big cities, you can't beat California. It has all the elements that make up the perfect luxury holiday, from first-class resorts and excellent restaurants, to beautiful beaches and vibrant culture and nightlife. For less glitz but lots of culture, natural beauty and history, head for Boston. The city's busy traffic has been tunnelled underground, which makes the centre a great place to mooch around on a gorgeous Autumnal day. The city's museums and historic monuments are also a must-see such as the Bunker Hill Monument and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum and Library. You can venture out to see more of picturesque New England with excursions to Cambridge or Cape Cod. The US capital, Washington DC is known to most of us because of its iconic buildings, but delve under the surface and there's also a great city to explore, rich in nightlife, fantastic food and excellent shopping.
Choosing when to go depends very much on what type of 5-star holiday you're after. The USA is a year round destination with four distinct seasons each with its own merits, so opt for the holiday you want and you'll almost certainly find it in the USA.

To a casual observer, heck, to an astute observer, I probably seem like a retro-grouch. What with all the old classic steel bikes I post and the fact that pretty much the only new bikes I really sell through the shop are my own brand of steel frames. However, I can and do appreciate a fine carbon fiber steed and do relish the opportunity to build such a bike. This Colnago C59 came in last week to get built with a Campagnolo Super Record group. Very fitting choice for this frameset.
I'm sure the polka-dot, TdF climber's jersey paint scheme will foster a love-hate relationship. The only important aspect of this is that the owner digs it. I happen to like it as well. I think it's a great looking bike. Soon after these photos were taken, the owner pedaled it out to the Pt. Reyes lighthouse and back, with a side trip up to Mt. Vision. Very fitting first ride since that ride has about 4,500' of climbing in less than 50 miles. And turning the pedals on such a steed can only push the rider to become the best climber he can. Kind of like buying clothes one size too small to encourage some weight loss.
Plenty of room for some fatter tires than these 23's.

Weeks have gone by and I was thinking, that Jill is packed up and moving . . . and I thought, I can't wait until she posts again to tell us all about it!
And here you are . . . and bumps after bumps happening to you and I didn't know, no one knew.
Well darn it, shame on me! I should have hooked up the horses and taken off North to check you out!
Sounds like you have a plan, moving forward and in "typical Jill fashion" you're still smiling!

Oh Jill...It's so stressful moving, selling a house and there are always problems, but this too shall pass. We buried St. Joseph in the yard...then I sucked him up with the lawn mower when we tried to sell our home years ago. We did finally sell. The good news is that a slightly banged up St. Joseph has a place of honor in our home today. You are in my prayers. Love, Penny

Oh Jill sorry I have not dropped in life as you know can send us "curve balls" and we must deal with them and move on. I know this has been very hard and I do hope all turns around before the snow flies but I do think it will because you my dear deserve all the best the world has to offer and this is another test. Take it slow and easy and keep that thought in mind. Everything for a reason even though we do not know that reason sometimes for quite awhile. I know this because I keep telling myself that everyday for the last two months also. HUGS hugs my friend you will get through this. Blog when you can I am thinking of you. You are not alone.

We are going to concentrate on DSLRs.
I will write up a separate section about all the other Digital Cameras, usually known as Prosumers, specifically, cameras that have non-interchangeable lenses, an Electronic View Finder (EVF) as opposed to an Optical View Finder (OVF), and a Real Time LCD.
So just what does the "Mod" entail? Basically, the camera is dis-assembled to the point that the Internal Blocker, or Hot Mirror IR Block Filter can be removed from the camera. It is located right on top of the sensor. Even tho you can see it covering the sensor in dust clean mode, the filter is not removable without taking the camera apart. This is a task best performed by a professional, or an owner with above average skills.
Immediately, you are looking at 2 significant issues when you have an IR Modification done.
1. A professional will charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 to $500 US, depending on the camera model.
2. Your camera warranty, if you still have one that is in effect, will be immediately voided.
So, you face these decisions right off the bat. Most IR shooters have a second or older generation body modded rather then their bright shiny new DSLR. They already have a nice collection of lenses, and there are still a lot of miles left in the previous generation DSLR body. Some bodies can be purchased in good used condition for a very reasonable price. Warranty is hardly ever an issue with a used camera body. It has usually expired long ago.
The physical change to the camera is not all that significant. The professional takes the camera apart, removes the IR Block Filter, replaces it with an identical thickness piece of glass that is an IR Pass Filter. The thickness of the glass must be exactly the same as the original that is being removed in order to retain focus. Depending on the professional, adjustments may be made to compensate for the different focal point of IR vs Visible light wavelengths, and the camera is re-assembled and tested. All the while, in the process, the camera is kept clean internally and great care is taken with parts and connections.
In the "un-Modded" discussion, we used a screw-on IR Pass Filter on the lens. Now we have removed the "fighting filter" and moved the IR Pass inside the camera. You will no longer need an external IR filter. You will be able to use all of your lens collection, no matter what thread size, you will not be limited to the requirement of having a Pass Filter to fit each one. This fact alone could save you a considerable amount of money.
So you get your camera back in fine shape, and you are ready to put a charged battery in your baby and go out and impress the world with your newly purchased IR skills. In point of fact, it's almost that easy.
There are a few issues that you will still have to deal with in order to get that great IR shot. It's a pretty short learning curve.
1. You will be composing your shot thru the OVF in Visible light. You will not be able to preview the IR image. You will have to take the shot, and review the exposure, composition, and IR result after the fact on the LCD. The camera will be able to set a fairly close exposure for you in the auto or program modes, so you will not face the level of experimentation described in the "Un-Modded" write up. You will find that you still need to review your histogram, as the mono-chromatic image you see on the LCD will not give you the familiar exposure clues that you are used to seeing in Color. As you gain experience, you will begin to "see and think in IR" and be able to predict your IR Image results.
2. Shooting in Aperture Priority and beginning at F8 is also probably a good place to start until you learn how your camera focuses in IR. You might have to make some focus compensation, but likely you won't.
3. You may want to bump ISO or EV up just a bit to adjust the exposure that the camera picks with its meter. Increasing EV by a stop is usually a good starting place until you have experimented enough to predict how your exposures will come out.
4. White Balance adjustments can make a big difference in your initial out-of-camera image. I would suggest that you do some initial trial shots in bright sunlight, cycling thru your camera's entire set of WB settings to see which gives you a result that you like. The image varies greatly between manufacturers and between sensor types as well.
5. Many IR Shooters prefer setting a Custom White Balance to the in-camera WB pre-sets. Find some plant life that strongly reflects IR light, such as tightly packed leaves on a tree, or healthy green grass. Fill the frame with the foliage, manually focus, grossly out of focus, to even out foliage and gaps or shadows, and record your CWB.
6. As in shooting Color, shooting in RAW will give you the most adjustment control in Post Processing, but if you prefer to shoot JPG, I think you will still be very successful.
Your modded DSLR will give you back full control of Aperture and Shutter Speed settings, which will overcome the long exposure requirements that you had prior to the Mod. You will essentially be able to shoot as you would in Visible Color Light.
It goes without saying that you will now only be able to shoot in Infrared. Visible Light Color Photography will no longer be possible unless you were to have the camera modification reversed to re-install the IR Block Filter. Since this is expensive, it is not a very practical thing to do. You may wish to keep the IR Block Filter just in case you decide for some reason to have the mod reversed.
So, with your DSLR's innate controls and features, and a wide choice of lenses, the creative juices can begin to flow freely.

Sunbathing may boost endorphins in the body and brain
Mice churn out feel-good molecule in response to ultraviolet light
When bronzed sun worshippers bask on the beach they may get more than a tan. Ultraviolet light causes mice to churn out an opiate-like molecule, scientists report in the June 19 Cell. This feel-good molecule, called beta-endorphin, may explain why some people seem addicted to tanning.
The results may also explain why people are more generally drawn to sunny spots, says dermatologist and public health scientist Steven Feldman of Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C.
"Do you know why people go to the beach on vacation? Why they put Disney World in Florida and not in Minnesota, where it's cooler? Why caves are not more popular as a tourist destination? It's all because of what these guys studied," Feldman says.
The project began with a puzzle, says study coauthor David Fisher, an oncologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He and his colleagues wanted to understand why skin cancer

Other applications for Avaire flooring
Author: Rod
Date: 2/12/2009 12:43 am EDT
I was wondering if anyone has tried other applications and patterns for this product..
I am about to start a renovation project in the Laundry Room/Pantry and one of the thoughts was to build a cabinet to enclose our front load washer and dryer. This would leave me with a counter top of approximately 36" deep.
My questions are 1) would Avaire tile be an appropriate material to use for this purpose??, 2) is there any edging product to compliment the tile for the face of the counter??
I am propably going to build my own cabinets, so I am not against fabricating a wooden bullnose piece...but, if this works out, I may want to replicate this idea when we get to the kitchen.
thanks in advance...
Author: Chris
Date: 2/13/2009 10:10 am EDT
If you cover the top of the washer/ dryer cabinet you should adhere the tiles to the top due to the high speed and potential vibration of the front loading washers. I have had good luck just using a quality construction adhesive similar to PL Premium it's available at most home centers.
You could make a wood nosing to transition the edge of the counter top or you could use a pre made wood or laminate stairnose for the edge. I don't know where you purchaced the tile butI know Menards has an overlapping stairnose that works perfect for the edge. I also think Avaire is going to have a line of transition profiles available soon.
Hope this helps.

Ready-to-Learn Television (II-D-3)
Gaps in educational performance often start early. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds frequently start elementary school less prepared than their schoolmates from more advantaged backgrounds. High-quality preschool and related activities can play an important role in eliminating this gap. Educational television has proved an important tool in strengthening the preschool skills of young children. By providing high-quality instructional content for young children, the gap in early learning can be reduced.
The Ready-to-Learn Television program develops and disseminates educational programming for preschool and early elementary school children and their families. The program supports distribution of programming and printed materials to increase school readiness for young children in limited English proficient households and to increase family literacy. Accompanying support materials and services promote the effective use of educational television programming.
How It Works
Eligible entities apply to the U.S. Department of Education, and funds are allocated by grant, contract, or cooperative agreement with a public telecommunications entity that is able to demonstrate: (1) a capacity to develop and nationally distribute educational and instructional television programming of high quality that is accessible by a large majority of disadvantaged preschool and elementary school children; (2) a capacity to contract with producers of children's television programming for the purpose of developing educational television programming of high quality; (3) a capacity to negotiate contracts so that an appropriate share of any ancillary income from sales of program-related products are returned to the entity; and (4) a capacity to localize programming and materials to meet specific state and local needs and to provide local educational outreach.
Key Requirements
To increase effective use, programming must be made widely available with appropriate support materials to young children, parents, child-care workers, Head Start providers, Even Start providers, and providers of family literacy services. Grantees shall consult with the federal departments of Education and Health and Human Services to maximize utilization of the program and to coordinate with federal programs that have major training components for early childhood development.
How Performance Is Measured
An annual report to the secretary of education must include a description of program activities, including programming and support materials that have been developed, programming distribution, and initiatives to develop public and private partnerships. In addition, multiyear experimental evaluations of the programming's effectiveness to help enhance children's readiness for school are under way.

Harris deputy sues family who called 911 for help
A Harris County sheriff's deputy is suing the family of a man he shot and killed when assisting on a call last December, saying they failed to warn emergency personnel and law enforcement that the man was a "violent threat."
Deputy Brady Pullen is seeking $200,000 from relatives of Kemal Yazar, who authorities said confronted EMS workers who responded to a 911 call at a Katy home. The man's wife, authorities said then, had told EMS that Yazar was acting irrationally.
Two deputies, including Pullen, who were called to help struggled with Yazar and used a Taser on him, officials said then. Both deputies fired shots at him, killing him. Pullen was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment of a concussion, cuts and a bite.
The Dec. 30 incident occurred at the home on Shiloh Mist owned by Camina Figueroa, who is solely named in the lawsuit. Pullen said Figueroa failed to "adequately warn others that her resident or guest Kemal Yazar posed a violent threat to others."
The lawsuit, filed by Austin attorney Mark W. Long, states that Yazar "had been either smoking or ingesting a drug commonly called 'bath salts' or some other mind-altering substance for days."
He was so mentally unstable that "defendant (Figueroa) decided to evacuate the children for safety reasons" before calling 911, the lawsuit states.
'An unarmed man'
When the deputies arrived, according to the lawsuit, Yazar attacked Pullen and tried to grab his service weapon. Yazar "was shot and killed in the process."
Corina Padilla, Figueroa's cousin, offered a different version of events.
She said that Yazar, 46, was suffering from stress and depression and had drunk some tea that caused him to have hallucinations.
"At no moment did Kemal assault the officer," she said. "An unarmed man, a family guy, father and husband of three girls was killed. He had no criminal record. He was self-employed in import-export of very expensive rugs from Turkey and Persia."
Padilla called the lawsuit "outrageous," saying that Pullen "could have prevented it from happening, but he murdered our family member. Not only that, but he has the audacity to sue for money because he got injured when he was responding to the call."
Understood risk
Legal scholar T. Gerald Treece said the lawsuit likely would not prevail because of the understood risks involved in law-enforcement.
"I predict it will lose on summary judgment because with law-enforcement, firemen and soldiers, there's an inherent risk doctrine that when things happen to you, it is the inherent risk of your profession," said Treece, associate dean and professor of law at South Texas School of Law.
"What was she (Figueroa) supposed to do? She got it right," he said. "She said the guy needed help. She did not have a duty under Texas law to go any further. She was calling to get help for this guy."
Should the lawsuit prevail in the courts, it would run the risk of discouraging people from calling 911 to get emergency help, Treece said.
Damages sought
Pullen's lawsuit seeks damages for past and future medical expenses, past and future mental anguish, physical disfigurement and impairment, future and past pain and suffering, and loss of earning capacity.
Long, Pullen's attorney, declined to comment about the lawsuit, as did officials at the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Pullen could not be reached for comment at the Westside Patrol Division.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
May 1996
CCCS Home | 1996 CCCS Home | 1996 Curriculum Frameworks
The New Jersey core curriculum content standards for Science reflect the belief that all students can and must learn enough science to assume their role as concerned citizens equipped with necessary information and decision-making skills.
The need for scientific literacy in today's increasingly technological world, for fundamental reforms in how science is taught, and for established standards in science education are by now well-known and documented. Presidential appeals for excellence, combined with expressions of concern from scientists and educators, have led to national, state, and local initiatives. New Jersey is host to an impressive array of scientific and technological industries, and should play a leadership role in the development and implementation of standards for the teaching and learning of science.
From the outset, the core curriculum content standards for Science were influenced by certain understandings, events, and principles in the continuing improvement of science education in New Jersey and the nation. Efforts to establish standards for the teaching and learning of science have been pursued actively at the state and national level. In 1993, Benchmarks for Science Literacy was published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, followed in 1994 by a comprehensive draft of the National Science Education Standards by the National Research Council. Both these documents contributed to an ongoing interest in the formulation of world class educational standards rooted in reform movements such as Project 2061 of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Scope, Sequence and Coordination Project of the National Science Teachers Association. The simultaneously emerging national standards presented a reliable model that was often consulted in the formulation of these standards.
In New Jersey, the call for science education standards was heightened when the State was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation for the establishment of a Statewide Systematic Initiative for the reform of mathematics, science, and technology education. The combined funding of the NJ SSI and the Mid-Atlantic Eisenhower Consortium for Math and Science Education made possible the widespread distribution of an initial draft of science standards during school year 1994-95.
An enormous amount of scientific content has accumulated at an accelerating rate over the years, causing textbooks to thicken as material is added but rarely deleted. Science educators across the nation have come to recognize this as a disturbing and counterproductive trend. The Science Standards in this section, therefore, are not intended to include all of science, but rather are an attempt to define what all students should know and be able to do as they grow towards scientific literacy. A guiding principle of these standards is that an understanding of fundamental scientific principles and the development of science-related skills are not limited by gender, economic status, cultural background, or ability. While we recognize the need for the inclusion of fundamental understandings in the life, earth, and physical sciences, the development of critical thinking skills is considered of paramount importance. Also important are the attitudes that students display as they learn science, and the development of qualities inherent in the practice of science, such as curiosity, skepticism, open-mindedness, and honesty when collecting and interpreting findings. While these habits of mind cannot be measured easily, no science program can be considered complete or successful that does not promote them.
Science should be taught at all levels with awareness of its connection to other subjects and the needs of society. While these standards do not suggest a specific curriculum design or sequence of courses, they assume that the relationship of the various disciplines of science to each other, and of science to the overall learning experience, will be strongly emphasized. The standards also reflect the needs of the students and teachers of New Jersey; indeed, incorporating New Jersey's unique natural resources in the teaching of science should be a primary goal of school districts as they move towards implementation.
The formulation of standards does not insure their proper implementation. The national initiative mentioned above includes standards that address the preparation of science teachers as well as the school environment in which science is taught. While this document is not intended to deal with such issues, they have informed the development of these standards and must be considered if the standards are to be realized. The standards can only be of value as part of a larger, ongoing effort to improve the teaching and learning of science in New Jersey schools. Defining scientific literacy for the citizens of New Jersey and the nation is an important first step toward achieving this goal.
