About Me
- Mom26children
- I am the proud mother of 6 children. 5 of our children have autism. We do not feel our world has ended, but just begun. We do not chelate, intervene biochemically, give shots of any kind, practice ABA, etc. We treat them as we treat any humanbeing. We treat them with kindness and respect and expect the same from them. They are exceptional children.

we, the O'Donnell family...have gone about with life with Business
as Usual...
Our children...all 6 of them, 5 with Autism...have continued to thrive.
All while many changes have gone on...
This week, I decided to catch up on the old forums I used to visit....
I tried to contribute, but honestly, why bother ???
Diane is still bitching and moaning (but thank the Lord she has found SpellCheck), AIR is still sure she was not duped by the goings on of the Mercury Militia, and so on..
Nobody keeps insisting they are Somebody..but, frankly, they are still Nobody!
The good folks at AoA are still insisting that this whole fiasco is propaganda
started by the good ol' USA...and they should know about Propaganda!
Poor George Stephanopoulos decided to take on the doctor the Mercury Militia love so very much...he did not understand the backlash that they would bestow upon him..
George was accused of not even reading the Doctors book...how in the heck would these people know if he did or did not read a book...do you have spies that go that far into a person's life?
If you do, believe me, it would not surprise me at all !!
I received a Kindle for Christmas from my wonderful husband. My first purchase was
Kim Stagliano's book...I actually did not hate it..but,there was one comment she made that I must question..
She stated AoA was started and they would welcome comments...what she did not say was they would welcome comments ONLY if you agree with AoA...she also did not mention that they would hunt down the commenters that disagree with them ( I do not have to elaborate..they know what I mean)..the email witch hunts they do are brutal...
I also notice AoA has changed it's format..they went from looking like the blog they are to a more newspaper kind of format...I guess they think this will make people take them more seriously...
but, SERIOUSLY...they are still just a blog people !!
My second book I bought..The Panic Virus...by Seth Mnookin....thanks Seth, I really hope these desperate parents listen to you...better than that...I hope the doctors who have duped these parents listen more..
Seth dug deep into all the hysteria that surrounds the Mercury/Autism connection. He did this without having anything invested in Autism. He did not write this book to sell a vaccine. He is not riding on the coattails of parent's desperate for a cure or a recovery.
We have people who believe their Autistic children have been cured by listening to Jenny McCarthy and JB, even while their own children are still in Special Education receiving services....
I have a friend who is seeing a local doctor who scoped her child..you guess who the doctor is...she regrets getting involved with this center...but, has invested so much money and emotion..she has been resolved to think they would not lie to her...
she is far too invested...her son is still Autistic...she was told she started too late to help him....SHAME ON THEM !!!
I am so proud of my family.
We wake up every morning...the kids go to school (where they excel, BTW)...Patrick and I work full time...and we join together as a family every night...
All of the kids have extra-curricular activities, with the exception of Kiernan.
Caitlin won a gold medal in bowling at The Special Olympics, she was so proud, as were we of her.
We have family and friends over every weekend...
we carry on..
Business as Usual !!!

There is no way to argue with individuals emotionally invested in a belief. They have faith in their leaders, and by corollary must vilify anyone challenging the great and wonderful crusaders.
I do fear some are exploited because their desire for explanations makes them vulnerable to promises of easy answers and cures. Everyone wants simple answers, which is why conspiracy theories thrive.
In the end, the debate will not fade. Ever. Like so many other debates in autism, this one is endless. The tribes have formed.
I always enjoy reading your blog. You have grace and humor, what a blessing you are my friend.

I agree with everything you are saying : ) The only meds my son is on is for his Epilepsy. He is 12 years old, has a lot of issues and is severely Autistic but God made him the way he is for a reason. All children have issues, Autistic or not, and it is our job as parents to make sure they always feel loved even though they aren't perfect. What human being is perfect?!
I too just stear clear of the crazy forums because it is like getting in a pissing match with a skunk. It just stresses me out and my kids don't need me to be anymore stressed out than I already am with the usual life stuff. Thank you for being another voice of reason. There are too few of us these days : (
- Phil Schwarz said...
You and your family just keep on keeping on, Jeannette! Just keep in mind that the Mercury Militia folks are nothing more than the autism community's analogue to the "birthers" who continue to insist that President Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya.
PS: Here's a chuckle: the CAPTCHA generated for this comment was "fulplati". A full plate of nonsense from the quacks and their followers, I guess.
You are fortunate that your kids have had good educators. So much of what goes on in Texas in terms of supposedly educating kids on the spectrum appropriately is one big, horrifying nightmare for some.
- Michelle said...
Thank you for your blog.
Thank you that you are still a normal person, with thoughts and believes and that you have not turned celebrity and decided that you alone know the cure.
Years ago I watched the Extreme Makeover, and it was actually a fluke that I landed on this website today, but I was happy to see that you sound like the same person now as then.
Congrats on the accomplishments of your life, and the wonderful lives that you have helped your children crave out.
God Bless,
It's so sad to see parents fight against each other about who has it right...At the end of the day ALL our children are still autistic, and the same question torments us: what will happen to them when we are no longer around?

Hi: I need help. I have an 12 year old boy that has autism and me been the protective mother have always told him that he is just like any other boy, and I really believe that but now he is asking "mommy why did god made me different, why am I not normal like other kids, why can I think the same way as other kids". and many more. He been having issues at school and I met with his teachers and they tell me that I need to explain to him that he is different. How can I explain to him in words that he can understand? Does anybody know of any books that he can actually read?
Thank you

KALAMAZOO—The Humanities for Everybody program, a partnership between Western Michigan University and two local community organizations, offers low- to moderate-income residents in Kalamazoo County indispensable tools and opportunities to engage in their communities and realize the full potential of education to transform their lives.
The program provides non-credit history, literature, philosophy and writing courses free of charge, giving non-traditional students access to rigorous university-level education in the humanities. Experienced WMU professors teach the discussion-style courses, and students receive free books, tuition and supplies.
Rondel D. Yarbrough, who has served as the program's coordinator since its inception, says the 2011-12 inaugural class included single mothers, homeless men, career-track employees, recovering addicts, and people with bachelor's degrees as well as those without high school diplomas.
"Our students may be non-traditional but they're eager to learn. Of the 12 students enrolled last year, 10 graduated. Now we're seeing a number of them moving forward in practical ways," Yarbrough says. "One man, who was essentially homeless, is now employed, and one young woman won a scholarship and started classes at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Also, two students have taken the GED test. One obtained high school equivalency while the other student has to retake the math component of the test in order to pass."
Still time to apply for 2012-13
Students are being continuously enrolled for the two-course, 10-week fall semester that began Sept. 10 and the three-course, 15-week spring semester that begins Jan. 14, 2013. The second fall course is set to start Monday, Oct. 22. Each course, or module, lasts five weeks and meets Mondays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Cooper Apartments, 611 W. Lovell St., Kalamazoo.
The 2012-13 academic year opened with the History of American Slavery course and will finish with the Shakespeare course Oct. 22 to Nov. 26. The upcoming spring semester will feature Freedom and Empowerment, Jan. 14 to Feb. 14; The Black Experience: From 1866 to the Present, Feb. 25 to March 28; and Philosophy, Justice and Well-being, April 1 to May 2.
Eight Kalamazoo County residents ranging in age from 22 to 53 are currently enrolled in the program, which can accept up to 15 students. Students are encouraged to complete all five courses and to participate in at least one community service project.
If vacancies due to attrition occur, community members are invited to fill the available spots. Those who graduate from the program receive letters of recommendation based on their class performance that can be used to obtain jobs, housing and other community resources.
Community partners launch program
Humanities for Everybody is the product of conversations begun in 2010 about Bard College's Clemente Course. The executive directors of Open Doors Kalamazoo and Kalamazoo Neighborhood Housing Services and a KNHS AmeriCorps service member circulated the idea of offering a similar program in Kalamazoo. WMU's University Center for the Humanities joined the effort, and a team representing these organizations spent the next four months developing a concept and model.
Among other contributions, KNHS supports the efforts of Yarbrough, who works full time as the organization's client services specialist, while Open Doors is the fiscal agent and also provides the class space in Cooper Apartments, which it owns and manages. The University Center for the Humanities organizes volunteer faculty from WMU, and WMU's College of Arts and Sciences funds the graduate assistantship of LaTasha Chaffin, a full-time doctoral student who serves as the program's part-time coordinator.
"We have a backlog of about 30 professors who are eager to teach the courses," Yarbrough reports. "That says a lot about both the students and the instructors. For us, the bottom line is that education is for everybody."
Students of all ages are recruited from Kalamazoo County. To be eligible, they must demonstrate literacy at a level appropriate for the courses and, based on the number of people in their households, should have an annual income no greater than 150 percent of the poverty level.
Personal stories demonstrate program benefits
WMU's Chaffin says Humanities for Everybody seeks to promote mentoring and help students become more engaged locally, with enhanced interests in community participation, education and civic leadership. It also seeks to build self-esteem and provide accessible subject matter through which students can draw on their own life experiences to make meaningful connections and use this knowledge to make positive choices in their lives.
Kalamazoo resident TiAnna Harrison, a returning participant from last year, is one of several participants who say they found the program both reassuring and empowering.
"Having had a traumatic brain injury as a result of being involved in an accident with a drunk driver, I was unsure of how I would be able to fulfill my academic dreams," Harrison explains. "However, the small classes, one-on-one access to instructors and the level of encouragement in the program allowed me to move forward with my education in a non-traditional setting where there is a vested interest in my success. Maybe the non-traditional needs to become the traditional."
Humanities for Everybody's small classes allow professors and teaching assistants to give students specialized attention. These mentors as well as program staff members help students identify their career goals and pursue them. In the process, the students inspire their peers and others.
"We have a great group of motivated students who are representative of the community. They're diverse in educational attainment, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, gender and in their reasons for committing to such a rigorous voluntary program," Chaffin says.
She notes that some want to join or re-join a formal academic degree program. Others are motivated by intellectual curiosity, personal self-development and empowerment, or forming a support network.
For more information or an application, visit humanitiesforeverybody.com. Donations to the program are welcome; to donate, visit Open Doors Kalamazoo at opendoorskalamazoo.org or the University Center for the Humanities at wmich.edu/humanities.

Dingle Peninsula was used as a location for Star wars The Last Jedi. Filming in Ballyferriter was on a spectacular headland called Ceann Sibéal where a collection of beehive-shaped huts was built to reproduce the beehive huts of Skellig Micheal. Construction workers built a road across local farmland to bring the trucks, scaffolding, lighting, trailers, food, props and people up to the closed set. Lucasfilm later thanked locals for their support and hospitality.
At the end of filming in Ballyferriter Chewbacca (or a costumed Joonas Suotamo who plays Chewbacca) paid a surprise visit to the local primary school and delighted the children who responded by playing the Star Wars signature tune on their tin whistles.

St Brendan the Navigator (Naomh Breandán) is an important figure in the folklore of the Dingle Peninsula, having given his name to Mount Brandon, Brandon Creek and the village of Brandon. He is the patron saint of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kerry and of St Brendan's Church, Cloghane. He is known as the "navigator" for the legendary journey he made by boat which some have claimed was an account of an early discovery of the North American continent. Unfortunately, like many Celtic "saints", there is considerable doubt over his true identity, whether his life story is a merger of several lives and legends, or indeed if he existed at all.
|Brandon Creek
|Brandon Village
|Mount Brandon
According to medieval accounts, Brendan was born about 484 CE near what is now Fenit in North Kerry. Supposedly ordained by St Erc, Bishop of Ardfert, who has associations with the Dingle Peninsula, and educated by St Ita. He appears to have founded a number of monasteries, although the naming of an oratory and of St Brendan's House near Kilmalkedar seem to date from as much as a thousand years after his death. He founded what became Clonfert Cathedral and is also known as "Brendan of Clonfert". He died in modern County Galway in about 577 CE. It is possible that the Galway Brendan was a different person to the Kerry one.
Brendan's principle cliam to fame is his legendary voyage in search of the Garden of Eden. The "Voyage of St Brendan" appeared around 900 CE and there are at least 125 Latin manuscripts scattered around Europe giving versions of the story. Brendan is supposed to have built a currach or naomhóg type boat, and with 14 monks to have made an epic voyage with a number of exciting events along the way before his return. Seafaring tales like this, known as immrama were popular in the Middle Ages, with their heroes making long sea journeys and visiting otherworldly places. St Brendan's Navigatio borrowed heavily from the Voyage of Bran and the Voyage of Máel Dúin, both pre-Christian stories perhaps themselves based on ancient Greek myths.
At some point a tradition emerged that St Brendan had started his legendary journey from Brandon Creek on the Dingle Peninsula. In 1976-77 British Explorer Tim Severin constructed and sailed aboat from the creek to Newfoundland via the Hebrides and Iceland. Severin theorised that some of these locations might have inspired the unlikely locations such as the "Island of Sheep" or the "Paradise of Birds" found in the Navigatio. There have been claims made that Brendan might have discovered North America before Columbus or the "Vikings".
Although there seems no truth whatsoever in the story, the legend persists as a colourful story: a sculpture of St Brendan in a boat by Cliodna Cussen now decorates the spot.

Advanced Nanotechnology Thin Film Approaches for the Food and Medical Industry: an overview of current status
Published on
In the field of nanotechnology-based thin films and coatings, new approaches using nanoscale effects can be used to design, create or model nanocoating systems with significantly optimized or enhanced properties of high interest to the food, health and biomedical industry. With the development of nanotechnology in various areas of materials science the potential use of novel surfaces and more reliable materials by employing nanocomposite and nanostructured thin films in food packaging, security pharmaceutical labels, novel polymeric containers for food contact, medical surface instruments, bio-implants, and even coated nanoparticles for bionanotechnology can be considered.
The use of plastic containers in the food and beverage market has dramatically increased because they are lightweight, unbreakable, convenient, resealable and they may be clear. PET bottles have gradually replaced glass bottles and metal cans as the most common packaging for liquid foods, such as carbonated soft drinks, tea, water, soy sauce and edible oil.In this field of new packaging technologies, nanostructured architectures coatings such as nanocomposite films are given the unique role of enhancing food impact over the consumer's health. For example, the unique properties of diamond like carbon (DLC) film, including its chemical inertness and impermeability, make it possible for new applications in food, beverage and medical market segments.
In this presentation it will be presented an overview of the nanotechnology approaches to produce nanostructured materials for food and health industry. Topics to be discussed include introduction to nanocoatings concepts (from functional nanocomposite and graded coatings to smart nanomaterial surfaces used in packaging and biomedical industry) produced by clean PVD technologies (Physical Vapour Deposition) and other deposition techniques. An overview of the current research, existing technological applications and future industrial materials and components will be highlighted.
Vasco Teixeira is Associate Professor and has a PhD degree by University of Minho, Braga-Portugal in Applied Physics. His speciality is science and technology of multilayered and nanocomposite functional coatings. He was since January 2001 till January 2005, the Head of the GRF-Functional Coatings Group at Institute of Materials and he is, since the group foundation the leader of the research line: Advanced Coatings for High Efficient Energy Systems. He is author and co-author of more that 60 scientific papers. He organised and participated in several scientific committees of several national and international conferences. He is Vice-President of the SOPORVAC-Portuguese Vacuum Society. He is member of the Executive Council (Councillor)-2004-2007 Triennium da IUVSTA-International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique, and Applications. He is member of Directive Council of the Portuguese Materials Society. He is Coordinator of TTES-Surface Engineering and Heat Treatment Division of the SPM-Portuguese Materials Society and Technical Advisory Member of Tribological and Decorative Coatings of the SVC-American Society of Vacuum Coaters He was the national delegate for European Action COST 522 and member of the management committee of the COST 522. He is evaluator for FP European projects, INTAS projects, Portuguese Innovation Agency (ADI) in the field on nanoscience, nanotechnologies, advanced surface treatments and characterisation techniques.
He has specific interest in Advanced Coatings for High Efficient Energy Systems, Functional and Protective Coatings for Industrial Components and Nanotechnology-based Thin Films for Smart Materials. Involved in: i) Production and characterisation of thin coatings for industrial applications using Physically Vapour Deposition (PVD) techniques. ii) Experimental study and numerical modelling of residual stresses and adherence of ceramic multilayered coatings for protective and decorative applications. iii) Deposition and modelling of optical behaviour of thin oxide and oxy-nitride coatings for spectrally selective solar energy applications, such as nanocomposite solar absorbers, thermochromic coatings and layered electrochromic devices for smart windows. iv) Thin films and nanostructured coatings for solar photovoltaics, security label in food, health and defense.

Davis explains why determining how a high-performance polyester garment will behave on press and in the dryer is a critical part of a successful print run.
By Rick Davis
Each fabric in garment screen printing presents the printer with a unique challenge. Understanding the printing characteristics of the fabrics we use is a critical part of the business, whether we work with 100% cotton, 50/50 cotton/poly blends, polyester knits, nylon, or Lycra. Only when we have a command over the variables that come with printing onto these types of materials can we really meet our customers' demands.
The manufacture of today's garments includes more and more 100%-polyester performance fabrics for every type and style of apparel. Because almost all of these fabrics are now woven, dyed, and assembled overseas, it becomes the garment screen printer's responsibility to know and understand how these fabrics will perform on press and after they're printed, as well as how heat affects them during the curing process.
Another consideration for determining fabric printability is that as the licensed market has changed and the need for mass contract printing has decreased, many large contract printers are now looking back at the custom-printing market as a production source. If you're a contract printer and your business is strong, determining fabric printability offers a greater challenge. After all, you desire to offer the client the greatest degree of printing quality, regardless of the garments they supply.
Fabric printability
Garment screen printers decorate a wide variety of textiles, and while discovering how each fabric prints and reacts in production can take a lot of time and effort, the journey is definitely worth it. All fabrics are knitted, bleached, dyed, and sewn in different methods, depending on the manufacturer and type of fabric. One very important factor that you need to keep in mind is the type of dye used in the dying process and the content of that dye within the finished fabric.

Rita Ora Chops Her Hair Into a Bob [PHOTO]
Rita Ora has chopped her hair. The style maven and singer has elected to go with a razor-y bob and she looks absolutely uh-mazing.
So many celebs are chopping their locks --Kate Mara and Emma Roberts are recent converts to the bob.
Be it real or extensions, so many celebs are opting to chop strands into lobs and asymmetrical bobs. Ora's 'do falls into the latter category and she is rocking it. Up until last week, Ora was seen with a tumble of thick and full platinum waves.
With her scarlet lips and smoky eyes, along with her gorgeous face, she can totally pull this chop off.
The singer shared the image on her Instagram when the cut was still fresh. She obviously loves it -- as does the PopCrush staff — since she captioned the image: "He is a genius @Chrisappleton1 for my fresh cut! Thank you Chris!! #ICONICMAN."
It's a messy bob with bangs but so much versatility. Ora can do tons with this shape.

consisting of the source, the mes-sage,
and the receptor, Dr. Nida
emphasized that if we are to under-stand
any message we must under-stand
the source, message, and
receptor in the cultural context.
"The message is not different
in relation to the culture of which
it is a part," Dr. Nida explained.
That is, the ends do not differ,
but the equivalent forms in which
the message is expressed differ.
This is because "other societies
are integrated and organized on
very different concepts. Language
is a reflection of the culture."

Students Voice Opinions
Through National N.S.A.
Unethical Behavior
Threat To Freedom
Ethical considerations, while perhaps forming the dominant
aspects of contemporary religious practice, appear to have been
neglected in not a few situations here at Bethel recently.
Certain individuals seem to be reacting against the college
experience, not in an intellectual way, but in a physical way.
While this has a value of its own, to be sure—as in the easing
of tensions and frustrations, it is only relative.
And when the destruction wrought is greater than the personal
benefit derived from such reaction, then the wantoness of some
becomes a great threat to the position of all.
Students ought not to mistakenly assume that freedom is an
adequate law of conduct.
Freedom must be coupled with moral responsibility or it is
Collective effort, mutual understanding, corporate enterprise,
in general the functions of a democratic society are impossible
when individuals are all governed only by a concept of complete
Another violation of the principle of free responsible society
seems about to jeopardize the traditional liberty students have
been granted in the library.
It would appear that some have shown complete disregard
for the normal and necessary procedure of checking out books
which are to be taken from the library. This is especially true of
certain books on open reserve : few remain in the library now.
The open reserve concept is a good one. Students and books
can intermingle more freely under such a system.
But standard procedure must be adhered to or the library
will of necessity be forced into a stricter, more authoritarian posi-tion.
This would be unfortunate.
Bethel students have enjoyed greater freedom and have suf-fered
under fewer rules than probably any similar liberal arts
college in the area.
This freedom has been won only through responsible student
effort extended over many years. By demonstrating to the admini-stration
that students could make the necessary moral judgments
involved, a gradual extension of privileges was granted.
But now the unreasoned unethical behavior of a few, childish
actions in the first place, poses as a threat to traditional freedom:
a heritage from previous classes which is a far greater good than
any irresponsible demonstration of frustration that the college
has recently been given.

The court clerk came in followed by the black-robed,
White-haired federal Judge Nordbye who
stepped up behind the bench and sat down. The
clerk then announced "court is in session" and
rapped the gavel on his desk to complete his piece.
The case of the United States v. McDuffie" was
being tried. (When we came in the afternoon session
was beginning although the trial itself had been
under way for at least one other day.)
The Negro defendant McDuffle was about thirty
years of age and was accused of selling marijuana.
Mr. Valentine, a witness for the prosecution,
took the stand after oath. He was a federal agent
who had been assigned to watch the activities of
the defendant. In the course of the prosecutor's
examination of the witness we learned about a
"Special Employee" Elliott who had been hired to
purchase some "stuff" from McDuffie.
We, in the spectators seats, faced the bench
and also the witness on the other side of the room.
Between these two positions sat the prosecuting
attorney at one table and the defense and defen-dant
at another. To our right across from these
center tables sat the jury of nine men and three
women. The recorder sat at the short-hand machine.
On Jan. 22, 1958, Valentine, Elliott, and another
agent had gone out to Olson highway and Highway
10 to a telephone booth there, and Elliott had placed
a call to McDuffie. It was about 6 p.m. The attorney
then asked:
"Where did you go then?"
"We went to Seventh and Lyndale; to a res-taurant
there; a barbecue."
"Do you remember the name of the restaur-ant?"
"Not right now."
"What did you do then?"
"We parked across the street in Dayton's park-ing
lot, to observe."
Elliott had then gotten out of the car and
had walked to the intersection, where the defendant
arrived walking with a police dog. However, no ex-change
other than words took place, and McDuffie
was gone.
The two detectives and Elliott then went into
the restaurant. They slid a table and some chairs
over by the men's room which was to the rear left
of the barbecue and the detectives then went inside
the men's room while Elliott remained in the estab-lishment
proper. The only lighting came from the
outside light and the light from the juke-box. (The
place, later identified as the Old Southern Barbecue,
at the time was owned by Elliott's father and was be-ing
remodeled. Elliott worked there as a cook.)
Valentine's testimony continued ...
"We bored two quarter-inch holes through the
door to observe. At eight o'clock McDuffie knocked
on the barbecue door and Special-Employee let
him in."
Intrigue is ever with us.
"Did you observe any transaction between .
"I observed the defendant hand over a small
piece of paper."
After McDuffie had gone (with dog once more)
Elliott went back to the federal agents and gave
them the piece of paper. It was a pink napkin
containing marijuana.
The prosecution soon concluded his interroga-tion,
and the counsel for the defense then questioned
the witness.
After Valentine, Elliott was questioned. Elliott
was Negro—about 26 years old. It was not difficult
to lead Elliott into awkward straits the defense
counsel found and this was done initially by question-ing
his moral character. A sustained objection how-ever
stopped this. Then in a flustered moment the
question was asked—"And that was when he handed
you the yellow napkin?"
"Yes." (It had already been ascertained that
the napkin was pink.)
The court soon adjourned. Court can be fascin-ating.
Minneapolis Federal court is located at Third
and Marquette. On the fourth floor are the court
rooms. Afternoon sessions are from two to five.

'Cheerful Men
Should Perform
Dear Editor,
Once below a time there was a
little boy who took piano lessons.
Because he was like most little
boys he was creativehe learned
to play the piano with his feet.
This added some "happiness" to
his playing.
His teacher admitted it was
novel, but certainly not orthodox.
"To please the public, you must
play porperly," was his firm ad-monition.
He learned to play properly.
However, he was much happier
when he secretly added his "foot-notes."
The big day of his recital ar-rived.
His wealthy parents hired
an orchestra to accompany him.
Everything proceeded "properly,"
and his teacher smiled approvingly
from the front row. The rest of
the audience dozed off. The little
boy thought to himself, "They're
not enjoying this anymore than I
am." A "horrible" idea (surely
from the devil) came into his
mind. "Do I dare? It would be
improper—my teacher wouldn't ap-prove—
but the audience . . . Oh,
scratch my Bach, I'LL DO IT!"
A wild gleam shown in his eyes.
Off came his shoes. Off came his
sacks. He became a "happy boy"
As the music poured forth, the
audience stirred, awoke, became
enthused, and went wild with ap-plause;
the orchestra outdid them-selves,
and the final curtain trem-bled
with cries of "bravo! encore!"
When the curtain went up, the
boy was gone, and a certain front
row seat was empty.
You know what happened. From
then on he played properly. But
he was mediocre. Worse, he was
unhappy. So are we, the audience.
It doesn't seem right for talent
to be wasted! There are so many
boys who could be "happy boys."

Egan Gets Word
Mr. Egan:
No, we are not agreed that
something is wrong when students,
are charged large fines for overdue
If you use the library you must
comply with its regulations. The
library staff presupposes that you
will return material you borrow
within the allotted time. The li-brary
is mother to no man.
After college, we will be sub-jetted
to circumstances in which
judgment will be necessary: Selec-tive
Service, voting registration,
marriage licenses, interrm'ent plots.
If we meet these adequately, we
will lead the happy and good life.
The problem is not library pro-cedures,
but self-discipline.
* * * * * *
Dear Mr. Egan,
Yes, I can imagine being charg-ed
several dollars for keeping a
book out of the library. This is
not unlike the instance in which
I kept a regular, run-of-the-mill,
commonplace, two week loan book
out for 68 weeks, for which I re-ceived
a fine of $8.17.
The American deer hunter is
found in almost every state in the
union. The northeastern and Great
Lakes areas are probably the most
fruitful for whitetail hunting, al-though
a man can tramp through
the woods, fill his lungs with fresh
air, and feel like Daniel Boone any-place.
So we see that deer hunting is
expensive, unprofitable, silly, and
illogical, and that no sane man
would have anything to do with it.
There's more to say, but the
boys have just loaded my kitchen
sink into the trailer; we're on our
way to get some venison.
Every year from October to
December, hundreds of thousands
of American men leave the warmth
and safety of their homes and trek
up wooded hills and down frosted
dales in search of the wily white-tail
deer. These otherwise sane
men go out in small groups and
share whatever meat is shot. Thus
Mr. Average Hunter returns to his
nest, proudly shows his mate ten
dollars worth of moldy, bark-en-crusted
venison, and says in his
1-told-you-so tone of voice, "Ya
thought I couldn't do it, huh. Disda
wayta balance da budget." Our
friend's bride looks at him in
amazement and starts to say some-thing,
but his cave man attitude
dissuades her from mentioning the
three hundred dollars he has spent
for guns, ammunition, gasoline,
binoculars, and Johnny Walker—
all necessities for the trip.
There are three main methods
used in deer hunting. The first is
called still hunting because you
slowly and carefully walk around
in likely areas, the purpose being
to sneak up on a deer before he
knows you're there. The average
deer hunter walks so quietly he can
be heard on Times Square on New
Year's Eve. The second method
is called standing, because you sit
down near watering places, deer
paths, or salt licks to await a
victim. The third possible way is
also aptly named. Several hunters
run around the woods, purposely
making a commotion in the hope
(usually vain) of frightening some
senile member of the whitetail
family into running in front of the
strategically placed guns of their
companions. This is called driving.
Americanus Nimrod is known for
his tendency to travel "heavy." He
likes to take everything but the
kitchen sink. (He takes that too
if he has a trailer.) An average
hunting party carries such a wide
variety of paraphernalia that it
takes the better part of a day to
load and unload it. A partial list
would include guns and ammuni-tion,
targets, binoculars, boots,
cartridge belts, shooting mittens,
hand warmers, extra sights, hunt-ing
knives, matches, ear flaps, gas
cans, clotheslines, canteens, com-passes,
maps, sunglasses, and cold

Does College Change Values?
. . . Dr. P. E. Jacob Missing Reserve Books--
Bethel Campus Mystery Changing Values In College by
Dr. Philip E. Jacob is a penetrat-ing
analysis of the influence col-lege
exerts on student values.
It is not a very optimistic re-port,
particularly for those who
view the college experience as be-ing
significant in the area of
values. Nor does it give one much
assurance about the positive in-fluence
of curriculum, teachers, or
teaching methods in bringing
about any change in the current
The study is far from conclu-sive;
there are significant areas
which have received limited treat-ment.
Yet it is a valuable work
certainly worthy of the time of all
who are involved with college: stu-dent,
faculty member, administra-tor,
and alumnus.
The question of what happens
to the values of American students
when they go to college is the
basic concern of the book.
The over-all conclusion of this
study is that college does make a
difference but not a very funda-mental
one for most students.
Basic values remain largely con-stant
through college.
The main effect of higher edu-cation
upon student values is to
bring about general acceptance of
a body of standards and attitudes
of college-bred men and women in
the American community.
The changes which do occur
bring greater uniformity. College
graduates tend to be cultural "rub-ber
stamps" for the existing social
pattern rather than instigators of
new patterns of thought.
The study did not discern any
significant change in student values
which could be attributed either
directly to the character of the
curriculum or to the basic courses
in social sciences which students
take as part of their general edu-cation.
For the most part, the values

change may occur. But
the impetus to change does not

"The Case of the Missing Library
Volumes" may sound fascinating
to the avid mystery fan, but to
the Bethel student body this case
presents a real problem. The open
reserve system which the library
employs has been given a broader
interpretation by a few students
than was originally intended. Re-sult:
missing reserve books!
No detectives were needed to
determine that many a book has
left the library, with no card left
at the check-out desk to desig-nate
its whereabouts. Rather re-gretfully,
students who desired to
fulfill extra reading requirements
discovered the crime around mid-semester
time, when the need was
most prevalent. To find that the

Don Decker, college junior, won
first place and $25 in Bethel's ora-tory
contest held Monday, Nov. 17,
by supporting the idea that nu-clear

He showed that the reason the
United States was involved in war
with Germany and Japan was be-cause
of military unpreparedness.
Present comparative strength of
the U.S. was shown by number of

as well as disappointment on
the part of the searching student.
Courses particularly affected by
the missing books are: General
Psychology, Problems of Philoso-phy,
and General Zoology.
Imposing a closely - scrutinized
check-out system in the Bethel
library seems rather unnecessary,
but the students have not proven
themselves. capable of the present
freedoms. Suggestions from the
Student Senate upon investigation
by the library representative,
Marilyn Thorpe, include:
moving open reserve shelf nearer
the check-out desk,
assigning a checker at the door,
designating a separate room for
the open reserve books.
Such steps need not be taken if
the student body realizes the ele-mentary
honesty principle that
must function in any library. To
retain a book when others are
waiting to use it is certainly un-fair
to all.

and outlooks of students do not
vary greatly whether they have
pursued a conventional liberal arts
program, an integrated general
education curriculum, or one of the
strictly professional-vocational op-tions.
Equally disturbing is evidence
that the quality of teaching has
relatively little effect upon the
value-outcomes of general educa-tion—
in the social sciences or in
the other fields—so far as the
great mass of students is concern-ed.
It has been observed, however,
that some teachers do exert a pro-found
influence on some students
even to the point of causing par-ticular
individuals to re-orient
their philosophy of life and adopt
new and usually more socially re-sponsible
vocational goals.
A further significant observa-tion
(particularly for Bethel) is
that faculty influence appears
more pronounced at institutions
where association between faculty
and students is normal and fre-quent,
and students find teachers
more receptive to unhurried and
relaxed conversations out of class.
The method of instruction seems
to have only a minor influence on
students' value judgments.
However students are often
deeply affected by participation in
experiences which vividly confront
them with value issues and pos-sibly
demand decisions on their
part whose consequences they can
witness. -
While patterns of student values
have great similarity on a mass
view, the intellectual, cultural, or
moral "climate" of some institu-tions
stands out from the crowd.
The response of students to edu-cation
within the atmosphere of
these institutions is strikingly dif-

Only One Point Edge:
Bethel Shaves Braves
Bethel began this year's basket-ball
season by squeezing past Sioux
Falls, 56-55, last Friday night on
the home court.
As the game got under way it
was evident it would be a close
contest, with the lead changing
hands many times. The end of the
first half found the Braves con-trolling
a four point lead and they
came back in the second half to
advance that lead to eleven points
before Dick Larson sparked the
Royal Five by scoring nine staright
With one minute and 49 seconds
remaining in the game the score
was tied at 54-54. Bethel controlled
the ball and Larson hit, putting
the Royals ahead 56-54. Lindaman
fouled Roger Shogren as the
Braves were trying to stall and
Shogren made one of two free
throws making the score 56-55.
The game seemed to be on ice
here with only ten seconds left to
play and Bethel having possession
of the ball when a quick-footed
Brave stole the ball and went for
a basket, but the whistle had
blown, and Bethel had won 56-55.
Coach Healy said, "I feel that
we have some scoring potential
and we have learned some things
about our shabby defense which
will be corrected. We only hit 34
per cent of our shots which is bad,

In a recent C.S. conversation Paul stated that

earned varsity letters—four in both football and track and three in
basketball. As a senior, he earned all-conference in football and basket-ball,
the conference's MVP in football. Paul is credited with several 25
point games in basketball. As for track, he went to State for three
years, in the hurdles as a sophomore and in the discus as a junior and
senior. Strange as it may seem pole vaulting is his favorite sport.
Paul is a pre-sem student, majoring in philosophy and minoring in
history. He attended the U of M for his first two years. Last summer
the Campus Crusade camp at Mound claimed most of his time where
he helped build an $80,000 chapel. Presently he heads a male prayer
meeting which is held at seven each Friday morning in the library.
Paul was a major faCtor in the Royals championship.
As only Coach Lundin could say, "Paul is definitely a fine ball
player—there's no question about it."
Lundquist, Senate Host Champs
Following last night's basketball game President Lundquist and
his wife held a reception for the football team at their home. Both the
team and athletic department were grateful and felt their tribute was
a great way to tap off the championship.
Six frantic charged cheerleaders dressed in blue crystallized a wel-come

evening we heard such public speakers as Stu Luckman, Paul Evan,
and oh yes, some fellow named Lundin. He told of some past exper-iences—
one was about hitch-hiking a ride for the team in an empty
cattle truck. That was a fine ride—fine ride.

Keynote Presentation: Exploring the Theoretical, Cultural and Policy Implications of 'Care' in LGBT communities
Research Team
Paul Willis, Swansea University
Nicki Ward, University of Birmingham
Julie Fish, De Montfort University
Giovanni Porfido, University of Birmingham
The experience of caring is shaped by cultural expectations, family circumstances and the needs of the person being cared for. Putting carers at the heart of 21st century families and communities emerged as a key priority for family policy in the Carers Strategy 2008. Within this context, hidden carers are emerging as an important group for social work and social care services and for the first time, LGBT carers were acknowledged as one such group (Department of Health, 2008:19). The Carers Strategy for Wales (WAG, 2007) similarly noted that social services needed to consider service provision for individuals on the basis of gender and sexual orientation. In beginning to address the needs of these 'hidden' groups funding has been made available through the 'Caring with Confidence Programme' to fund training.
Despite the acknowledgement of this as a key issue in policy to date there has been a dearth of rigorous academic research which explores the issues of care for LGBT populations. The limited research that has been conducted has drawn on small sample groups and has tended to focus on specific issues such as carers of people with dementia (Price, 2008, 2010), older caregivers (Brotman et al, 2007; Muraco et al, 2008; Shippy, 2007), and care provision to people with HIV (Munro & Edward, 2008). Similarly, there has been little theoretical engagement with the dynamics and pressures of LGBT care relationships.
This workshop is based on initial scoping activities, which are drawing together a range of stakeholders in England and Wales to explore the issues around caring and LGBT communities. Two focus groups and a series of telephone interviews were facilitated with key stakeholders to identify key issues and develop a wider set of ideas for further research exploring the relationships of LGBT people providing unpaid care for others. This workshop has two key aims: 1) to share emerging themes from our consultations with stakeholders, and 2) to generate further discussion about how the needs and interests of LGBT carers can be furthered through a research agenda.
