(Pictured, L to R): Dr. John Floyd, Gary Bailey, Reid Pearlman, Mike Rushing, Bob Wendorf
Dr. John Floyd served as editor of Southern Living for 18 years. Today, he greets visitors to the Japanese Gardens as its anonymous, volunteer tour guide.
"How are you doing today?" he asks the parents.
"What did you come to see? The turtles?" he asks the children.
He sweats alongside two other doctors of eclectic practice – Dr. Bob Wendorf and Dr. Mike Rushing – the former, a psychologist and president of the Japanese Garden Society of Alabama (recently published in Alabama Heritage), the latter, a veterinarian who served the USDA. Each Tuesday, the three doctors groom one of The Gardens' most recognizable, and one of the largest of its kind. Alone. These are "The Three Docs."
"It's an enormous garden," said Wendorf. "Bigger than most in Japan."
"Portland is the largest in the U.S. and they have 40 gardeners on staff," said Rushing. "We have zero."
Still, the three manage to maintain the beauty by practicing the art of "concealing and revealing" – creating lines of sight and allowing visitors to see glimpses of the Japanese Gardens most unique features (like the Japanese Tea House), while not offering complete views – a defining characteristic of Japanese Gardens worldwide.
"(Before we began work in the Japanese Gardens) there were places here you couldn't tell was a garden," said Wendorf. "Now you can tell its a garden."
The three doctors have not spent an eternity together, despite creating a bond that feels that way. "It feels like ten years," said Rushing. "But I think it's been ten months."
The lack of attention the Japanese Gardens received brought them. "Needs!" said Floyd, asked why this group chose this garden. "I was in the Kaul Wildflower Garden until they hired someone full time. I began working on another garden for a while, but then I saw that this one was in bad shape."
"It was the squeakiest hinge," said Rushing of the Japanese Gardens need for attention. "So they won't let me leave. They know all of my embarassing information and I wouldn't want them putting it on the Internet."
Maintenance can be daunting. The garden's grand scale can be difficult to manage for just three men. Still, they have managed to manicure one of the finest of its kind, despite its acreage far outnumbering its caregivers. Typically, similar gardens have at least one gardener per acre.
"In this garden, the problem isn't grooming the thing we planted," said Rushing. "It's the plants that volunteered to be a part of our scheme."
"Every rock that was put here was put here for a reason," said Wendorf, uncovering a large rock no longer visible because of its surrounding growth.
Each have carved their own contribution. "Inspiration, education and perspiration," said Rushing, of what brought these minds together. "And you can guess who's who. You can learn a lot from these guys. They're encyclopedias in sundry things."
But it's not all work. "We have to laugh," said Floyd. "It's good for our souls. They can always hear me laugh, so they always know I'm coming."
Most visitors can't detect imperfections. But the three doctors' marriage to these gardens won't allow them the same enjoyment.
"We can't see progress," said Rushing. "Our trained eye just sees weeds and weeds and weeds. The public just sees a nice garden."
An education awaits. On this day, these three inconspicuous men are shaping the mind of Vestavia Hills sophomore Reid Pearlman. He can't yet drive, but his effort to tend this garden affords him a collegiate education from men with doctorates from Illinois (Wendorf), Clemson (Floyd) and Texas A&M (Rushing).
"The Gardens is also an integral part in helping us do what we've done here," said Floyd, crediting men like Nick Majors and Gary Bailey for their work in maintaining and clearing the doctors' weedy mess.
The Three Doctors need your help. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to join these unique men, absorbing their knowledge and enjoying their humor. The group currently gathers in the Japanese Gardens on Monday mornings. For more information on how you can offer your services, contact Mary-Bestor Grant at 205.414.3962 or email@example.com.

Tips for Improving Gas-Tungsten-Arc-Welding Productivity
Achieving such positive results, however, isn't als easy—success is as much a matter of training and practice as it is simple patience. Fortunately, arming yourself with a few tips along the can help you greatly improve the effectiveness of the process. After all, you don't want an already slow welding process to become even slower.Tip #1: Invert the Process
Using an inverter power source is one of the first steps a metalformer can take to improve GTAW efficiency. Inverters operate by switching high-voltage low-amperage alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) back and forth at a very high
Inverters also have frequency controls that allow the welder to determine the length of time that it takes the unit to complete one full current cycle (the combined time spent on electrode positive and electrode negative), and to adjust the frequency from 20 to 400 Hz. (Note: transformer-based power sources only produce an output of 60 Hz, the same frequency that comes from a wall power receptacle).
The inverter's frequency feature helps improve welding efficiency by narrowing the focus of the arc, creating a narrow weld bead and minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ). With this feature, welders will spend less time and consume less filler metal completing each weld. And, a smaller HAZ minimizes the likelihood of burnthrough and the need for rework—a definite cost saver in any welding application.Inverters also feature a balance control, which allows the welder to adjust how long the current spends in each part of the AC cycle—particularly useful when welding aluminum. He can adjust the balance control more toward the electrode-positive portion of the cycle, which helps to remove the oxide layer on the aluminum workpiece (referred to as "cleaning action"), or more toward the electrode-negative portion of the cycle, which increases weld penetration and travel speed.
Tip #2: Stay Cool and Flexible
Selecting the right GTAW torch for the application also can help make the process more efficient. First, select a torch with good insulation. Silicon-rubber insulation, for example, protects against high-frequency leakage and cracking that can lead to premature torch failure and downtime for torch changeover.
Also consider whether an air- or water-cooled GTAW torch is best suited to the application. Air-cooled models prove useful for low-amperage applications, below 200 A, for welding materials less than 3⁄16 in. thick, or for shops where welders tend to move around a lot, since these torches do not require an external cooler. Conversely, consider a water-cooled GTAW torch for applications in excess of 200 A. These torches help prevent overheating and allow welders to achieve faster travel speeds.
When selecting a GTAW torch, also consider the angles at which the welders must weld, since maneuvering around difficult joints can be time-consuming, not to mention uncomfortable. Most GTAW-torch manufacturers offer models with flexible necks that make the job easier in awkward positions.
Some torch-body styles also feature a modular design, which allows the welder to add a flexible neck and different head angles to an existing torch. These kits provide good joint access and can lower downtime associated with changing over different torches for multiple applications. Plus, you can save money on extra inventory.
Tip #3: Cover Yourself
When possible, use a gas lens to replace the collet body of a standard GTAW torch. A gas
Adding a gas lens to the GTAW torch (left) provides for an even flow of shielding gas when compared to a torch without a gas lens (right).
Gas lenses typically consist of a copper or brass body that contains a layered mesh of stainless-steel screens. These screens distribute the shielding gas evenly around the tungsten electrode and along the weld puddle and arc to help prevent oxygen contamination that could lead to weld defects. As in any welding application, minimizing defects and their associated rework ensures that the welder can spend more time in production and less time fixing defects.
Gas lenses also allow the welder to extend the tungsten electrode further out from the nozzle. This additional electrode extension gives the welder a clearer look at the joint and arc, allowing him to have greater torch control and achieve better weld quality, particularly on critical applications or in hard-to-reach areas such as T, K and Y joints.
Tip #4: Less can be More
Taking steps to prevent overwelding will significantly improve GTAW efficiency, and save money. Overwelding occurs when the welder deposits more weld metal in a joint than is required to obtain the necessary weld strength. It often results from poor joint fitup or preparation, improper welding parameters or from simple overcompensation —the welder believing that he needs more weld metal to fill the joint than is necessary.
Overwelding wastes shielding gas and filler metal, and increases welding time. For example, overwelding a fillet weld by a mere 1⁄16 in. can increase arc-on time by as much as 36 percent for a 3⁄8-in. fillet weld and 125 percent for a 1⁄8-in. weld. In addition, overwelding increases the amount of heat input into the base material, raising the risk of burnthrough or distortion and leading to costly and time-consuming rework. It may even increase the need for grinding and finishing.
To prevent overwelding, avoid over-designing weld joints–do not use a larger joint than is necessary to gain the appropriate strength for the application. A good rule of thumb: Make the leg of a fillet weld no wider than the thickness of the thinnest workpiece, and weld accordingly. For example, when joining a 1⁄8-in. thick plate to a ¼-in. plate, a 1⁄8-in. weld bead suffices.
Also, know the size of the joint being welded. When in doubt, don't guess—use a fillet gauge.
Lastly, proper joint preparation and tight fitup provide good defenses against overwelding, as does welding in the vertical-down position on thin materials.
Tip #5: Get to the Point
The type of tungsten used—which depends on the kind of power source selected and the type of material being welded—as well as the shape of the electrode tip can significantly impact process efficiency.
For AC and DC welding using an inverter power source and either a ceriated, lanthanated or thoriated tungsten electrode, grind the electrode to create a pointed or truncated tip. This provides the stable arc needed to achieve good welding performance and quality, while preventing contamination or arc wandering. To achieve this shape, grind the tungsten on a borazon or diamond grinding wheel specially designated for the job. Next, grind the taper on the electrode tip to a distance no more than 2.5 times the electrode diameter. For example, using a 1⁄8-in. electrode, grind a surface 1⁄4 to 5⁄16 in. long. This tip design will ease arc starting and help create a more focused arc.
When welding with low amperage on thin materials (0.005 to 0.040 in. thick), grind the tungsten to a point. This allows welding current to transfer in a focused arc and helps prevent distortion. In particular, a pointed, ceriated tungsten electrode works well when welding aluminum, as it provides 30 to 40 percent more amperage capacity than does pure tungsten before it begins to melt. Note: Do not use a balled tungsten-electrode tip for such an application.
On higher-current applications, grinding the tungsten to a truncated tip can help improve welding performance by preventing the tungsten from balling. First grind the tungsten to a taper (as explained above), then grind a 0.010- to 0.030-in. flat land on the end of the tungsten.
Note: When grinding thoriated tungsten, be sure to control and collect any grinding dust, provide operators with an adequate ventilation system at the grinding station, and follow any manufacture's warnings, instructions and material-safety datasheets. MF

The Steelers could need running back Jonathan Dwyer to carry the load again on Sunday, against the Redskins.
Running backs Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman missed practice Wednesday. Mendenhall has an Achilles tendon injury; Redman is nursing an ankle problem.
Dwyer, who didn't practice Wednesday for reasons unrelated to injury, rushed for 122 yards in a win over the Bengals.
Also missing practice for the Steelers on Wednesday were tackle Marcus Gilbert (ankle), safety Troy Polamalu (calf), and linebacker Jason Worilds (illness).
Full participants were Will Allen (ankle), linebacker Chris Carter (hamstring), and center Maurkice Pouncey (knee). Linebacker Brandon Johnson (hamstring), linebacker Adrian Robinson (concussion), and kicker Shaun Suisham (left ankle) practiced on a limited basis.
Pouncey, who missed Sunday night's win, is expected to be available for the Week Eight game against the Redskins. Polamalu, who has appeared in only two games this season, is expected to miss the game.

Charlottesville to host 2011 wine bloggers conference
On the heals of Restaurant Week, Governor Bob McDonnell has announced that the national 2011 Wine Bloggers Conference will be held in Charlottesville next summer, which will bring more than 300 wine industry bloggers to town July 22-24.
According to conference officials, Charlottesville was chosen because of Virginia's growing status as a wine producing region, plus they appear to dig Hookville.
"Charlottesville is a very cool city with a major university and a fantastic downtown walking mall," they write on the organization's blog. " We also have a super hotel, the Omni, right downtown."
Whoever is behind the PR on this event deserves a pat on the back. Not only is the announcement everywhere on the Internet a full year before the event, its even got CBS News slapping up a post! Who knew wine bloggers were so popular.

Super Typhoon Bolaven has just passed over Okinawa, as Hurricane Isaac approaches the Gulf Coast. Here in Hawaii, we are also in hurricane season, and have been watching both storms. My thoughts and prayers go out to people in both regions.
We are currently blessed with beautiful weather in Hawaii. But we should learn from the experiences of people in Okinawa and the Gulf Coast. The time to get ready is before the storm. Long lines at grocery stores can be avoided by stocking up in advance. Get ready now.
Three of the worst hurricanes to hit Hawaii were:
- Hurricane Nina (1957)
- Hurricane Iwa (1982)
- Hurricane Iniki (1992)

Red's the designated Republican color, but the shades used for Wednesday's GOP debate have never been glimpsed in nature. Ranging from scarlet to carnelian to a kind of raspberry-magenta blend, they would have induced psychosis in any self-respecting interior designer. They made the set look like a cross between Pee-Wee's Playhouse and a Betsy Johnson dress catalog from the 1990s. And when the camera pulled back to reveal a stars-and-stripes pattern my first thought was, What have you done to my flag?
Come to think of it, that was my last thought, too.
The unearthly tones were appropriate, since the candidates seemed to be speaking from another planet. They certainly weren't on this one, where tax breaks have produced no jobs and deregulation's destroyed both the economy and the Gulf of Mexico.. But then, they weren't selling reality. They were offering a free-market science-fiction story, with special-effects economics that could have been designed by Industrial Light and Magic. Their reality is not yours, or mine, or that of most Americans.
But you know what? It may not matter. Sure, they were pushing economic hocus-pocus. But that hocus-pocus has cast its spell before. If aggressive steps aren't taken to fix this economy soon, one of those candidates may be our next President.
Hey, look. There's a close-up of Nancy Reagan. I met her last year. She was poised, gracious, and very smart. Democrats underestimated her husband. They've underestimated a lot of Republicans since then, too.
Liberals who sneer at Rick Perry – we saw some tonight – do so at their own peril.
Party Wisdom
The television pundits have already rendered their verdict. They're telling us it's now a two-person race between Mitt Romney and Rick Perry, and they're probably right. Democrats should be pleased, since the most formidable opponent against President Obama would be Jon Huntsman.
But watching the MSNBC postgame analysis I found myself agreeing with Ed Schultz as he argued with Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Matthews: Democratic insiders may think Perry's comments ruined his candidacy. He certainly spoke hogwash about Social Security, but Perry came across as a tough and straightforward guy. That could resonate with voters.
Matthews and O'Donnell didn't see that Perry reframed his comments very shrewdly. He's shifting their meaning in a way that aligns him much more closely to centrist Democrats like … well, like Lawrence O'Donnell and Chris Matthews. And unless Obama changes his "grand bargain" strategy, Perry will be able to say he agrees with him, too.
His supporters will say he's just more plainspoken about it. And it will wind up being a plus for him, not a minus.
Perry Outsmarts the Smart Guys
We're told that some Democratic centrists are licking their lips at Perry's "gaffes." Romney's people, their soulmates in many ways, have already put out a press release slamming Perry over Social Security. But Perry outsmarted them all.
Pressed to defend his "Ponzi scheme" and "monstrous lies" statements, Perry couldn't back down without looking weak. Here's what he said:
"It is a Ponzi scheme to tell our kids that are 25 or 30 years old today, you're paying into a program that's going to be there. Anybody that's for the status quo with Social Security today is involved with a monstrous lie to our kids, and it's not right."
Perry actually moved closer to the President's position with these remarks. "While Social Security is not the cause of our deficit," the President said in a typical remark recently, "it faces real long-term challenges in a country that is growing older."
Actually both Perry and the President are incorrect. Social Security will be able to pay 75% of benefits starting in 2037 – but not because we're getting older or giving the shaft to younger people. The shortfall is due to that upward redistribution of wealth we mentioned earlier.
The fact that Perry's wrong doesn't mean people won't believe him, especially if his false narratives are the same ones being promoted by billionaire Pete Peterson and echoed by biased journalists friendly to Peterson's benefit-cutting mission. Nor will the President he able to draw a contrast with either Perry or Romney. To do that he'll need to he shift back to his campaign position that the cap must be lifted and benefits should not be cut.
Perry gave his base some red meat tonight, Then he marinated it for general consumption once the primaries are over. He outsmarted 'em all.
The Monstrous Lie
We said that Perry was talking bunk on Social Security, and he was. A Ponzi scheme is conducted by criminals who tell investors they've found a surefire way to make money. But they're really moving money around in secret, giving big payoffs to early investors to make their fraud seem real. Once they've softened up their marks, they soak them for everything they've got.
Social Security's funding isn't secret. In fact, the Chief Actuary appointed by Ronald Reagan (in whose library they met, and to whom they paid the expected obeisances) co-wrote a paper last year explaining that the program's relatively minor long-term funding problems can easily be fixed – mainly by lifting the current payroll tax cap, which was established before we saw the massive upward redistribution of income of the last two decades.
If there's a Ponzi scheme out there that's been as thoroughly vetted by actuaries as Social Security;s been, then sign me up.
Perry also said that President Obama has "proven for once and for all that government spending will not create one job. Keynesian policy and Keynesian theory is now done. We'll never have to have that experiment on America again."
What's really been disproven is not Keynesian economics. It's the Republican platform of deregulation and tax cuts that Democrats have too often parroted, to their own detriment and that of the economy. Deregulation created the financial crisis and cost us millions of jobs. The stimulus created more than three million jobs, but it wasn't enough to undo the damage so more is needed.
That's the story the President and his party need to tell. They must draw a sharp contrast between the need to regulate and create jobs and the failed pro-corporate policies Perry and Romney are pushing.
Special Effects
If the overall effect was that of a broadcast from an alien planet, there were moments that felt even stranger – like the hallucination scenes in 2001 before the giant baby comes out.
For one thing, I think it's safe to say that Ron Paul managed to rebrand himself from a principled if sometimes radical libertarian to a full-time resident of Crazytown. It happened in his rant about border fences. "I think this fence business is designed and may well be used against us and (to) keep us in," he said, adding: "In economic turmoil, the people want to leave with their capital. And there's capital controls and there's people control. So, every time you think of fence keeping all those bad people out, think about those fences maybe being used against us, keeping us in."
Well, okay then. As Woody Allen said in Annie Hall, "I think I'm due back on Earth."
As for Romney, for a fiscal conservative he was pretty batty about the fence, too. When he said "we ought to have a fence," he was asked: "The whole fence, 2,600 miles?" Romney answered "Yes. We got to — we got to have a fence, or the technologically approved system to make sure that we know who's coming into the country …"
Earth to Mr. Cut Spending: Do you have any idea how much a 2,600-mile-long "technologically approved" fence would cost? Since Romney went on to say quite reasonably that "they can always get a ladder to go over the fence," his position seemed to be that we should spend vast sums of money for a barrier you can overcome by spending $40 bucks at your local hardware store.
So Romney made a little trip to Crazytown, too. (Maybe he's building another house there.)
Then there was the matter of the audience's enthusiastic applause for Perry's 234 executions (including at least one person he may have known was innocent). When he was challenged about why the crowd applauded those deaths, his response was immediate and masterful:
"I think Americans understand justice."
The man can think on his feet.
Blood-Red Planet
That's a good place to stop. There's much more to be said about the economics of tonight's debate, but we've learned that emotion trumps economics every time.
People don't change. From the Roman Coliseum to the public executions in medieval France, from lynchings in the Deep South to the crucifixion of a Nazarene prophet, human being have always responded to economic exploitation the same way. They may live in an economic system that's robbing them blind. But satisfy their bloodlust and they'll forget all about it.
Centrists and liberals can scoff if they want, but as I watched Perry and Romney I couldn't shake the thought: If Democrats don't step up their economic game, I think I'm looking at our next President.
It's true: Republicans are from Mars and the economy is from Venus. But human beings are from this planet right here, the one we're standing on. And you know what? That's what scares me the most..

I've been thinking about this question ever since I've started GMing a Savage Worlds campaign for my kids. When I laid out the ground rules for the pulp-style campaign, one of them asked what happens if their character dies. I told them that if a character dies, the character isn't coming back. They'll have to start with a new character with an appropriate amount of experience for the group.
In an MMO such as WoW that concept of permanent character death goes against one of the core tenets of the game. The entire point of raiding is to attempt, wipe, and attempt again until you manage to down the boss. The raids, instances, and group quests are designed with that in mind. If you're appropriately geared for one of these scenarios, there is a great likelihood of your toon dying at least once. And don't get me started about PvP, given that the entire point of a lot of PvPing is to "gank before you are ganked."
However, trying to switch gears and play a pencil-and-paper RPG can be a bit jarring. Even for my kids, who play Wizard 101 and the LEGO family of video games, your toon always came back. To say that it doesn't, and you'll just have to live with it, took some getting used to.
(Or even trying to play an older CRPG such as Baldur's Gate I/II, where you learned to save right before each battle because if you lost your main character, it was game over.)
Coming from the "permanent death" background, it took me a good long while to get over my toons periodically dying. Conservative play? Ha! I played at so glacial a pace that I didn't move into the Ghostlands from Eversong Forest until my toon was high enough level that all of the enemies were green in difficulty. Obviously, I got over this playstyle once I started getting ganked with regularity in (pre-Cata) Tarren Mill, but vestiges of the "take it very slow and don't ever ever ever rush in" style remain.
If I were a WoW player first, I'm not sure if I would ever make that leap to pencil-and-paper RPGs. Not because of the technology, to be honest, but the fact that my (essentially) immortal toon created unrealistic expectations about what PNP gameplay was like. However, I would also have expectations that the Big Bads in a PNP campaign would require specific capabilities to be used at specific times, and that my party members would be required to maintain a certain level of damage output. That's a ludicrous expectation, but if you look at WoW or LOTRO or Rift or any of the other MMOs out there, this is the design reality.
In a pencil and paper RPG, story matters.
Sure, you've got your hack and slash campaign nuts out there --"You enter the door to the room and inside you find three red dragons!"-- but to the majority of people who play PNP RPGs, campaign plots as well as the interaction between PCs, NPCs, and the game world are a big part of why they play RPGs.
I'm sure there are plenty of other lore nuts out there playing WoW (Hi, Rades!), but I've known far more people who play WoW who really don't care too much about the story at all. Just give them something to kill, and they're happy. Raids? BGs? It's just a 2011 version of Wizard of Wor or Super Mario.
"Hey, so this is where Millhouse Manastorm got to!" I exclaimed when I found him in Deepholm on Neve.
"Who?" a guildie asked.
"The Gnome you ran into at the end of the Arcatraz, the one whom the Sha'tar sent you to rescue."
"lol Q, I don't care. I just want to push buttons and kill things."
In a PNP RPG, however, it does matter because your party has to figure things out and decide what to do. There's always a different way to skin a cat in a FTF RPG, while the technical limitations of an MMO dictate that you can't deviate from a specific quest goal.
Heard around Azeroth:
In WSG:
(Two clothies and Quintalan (me) reached the Alliance flag. I'm the only plate wearer and we all have about the same Resilience, so I grabbed it. We hit the tunnel just as a Prot Warrior made it to us.)
Warrior: Give it to the mage.
Mage: No! Don't give it to me! You take it!
I tried to drop the flag, but because I'd been screwing around with my key bindings --and let's face it, I rarely carry the flag in WSG at all-- I'd deleted that button by accident, and popping a bubble was on CD.
Warrior: Come on, drop it!
Me: I'm trying, my bindings are screwed up!
Mage: Fuck it, just go!
We headed straight out the door and blasted our way through the first wave of Alliance players. The second wave consisted of two Holy Pallies and two Rogues. The Resto Druid with us did his best to keep me up, but I eventually died. However, just as I died the Censure DoTs killed off the Rogue that was on me. The Prot Warrior scooped up the flag and raced up our tunnel to cap it.
Me (from the graveyard): Well, that's one way to drop the flag.
Warrior: Hey, it worked.

Muscle Fiber Type
All of our muscles are composed of Type 1 and Type 2 muscle fibers. Type 1 muscle fibers are often referred to as slow twitch, while Type 2 muscle fibers are often termed fast twitch. Type 1 fibers are characterized by smaller size, less force capacity and more endurance capacity. They are the dominant muscle fibers in endurance activities such as long distance running, cycling and swimming. Type 2 fibers are characterized by larger size, more force capacity and less endurance capacity. They are the dominant muscle fibers in power activities such as sprinting, jumping and throwing.
Due to the physiological differences, Type 1 fibers fatigue more slowly and can complete more repetitions with a given resistance. Conversely, Type 2 fibers fatigue more quickly and can complete fewer repetitions.
First Study
Consider the results of a research study in which 87 men and women performed as many repetitions as possible with 75 percent of their maximum resistance. Specifically, all of the subjects were tested for the maximum weight load they could perform one time on the nautilus 10-Degree Chest machine. After a five-minute rest, they completed as many repetitions as possible with 75 percent of their maximum weight load.
As illustrated in Figure 1, most of the participants performed between eight and 13 repetitions. This median group represented normal individuals with a relatively even mix of Type 1 and Type 2 muscle fibers. At the left side of the chart are a few subjects who completed fewer than eight repetitions. These are excellent power athletes (sprinters, jumpers) who typically have a higher percentage of Type 1 (low endurance) muscle fibers. At the right side of the chart are a few subjects who completed more than 13 repetitions. These are outstanding endurance athletes (marathoners, triathletes) who typically possess a higher percentage of Type 1 (high endurance) muscle fibers.
It would seem that individuals who have an even mix of Type 1 and Type 2 muscle fibers may obtain best results by training with about 10 repetitions per set. It would also appear that individuals who have predominately Type 2 muscle fibers may obtain best results by training with fewer repetitions per set. Conversely, individuals with predominately Type 1 muscle fibers should train with more repetitions per set to achieve maximum results.
Second Study
This observation was supported by a follow-up study in which the middle-endurance athletes trained with nine to 11 repetitions per set, the low-endurance athletes trained with six to eight repetitions per set, and the high-endurance athletes trained with 12-14 repetitions per set. As presented in Table 1, all of the athletes made similar improvements in muscle strength after eight weeks of training with a personalized repetition protocol. These results indicate that predominantly Type 2 muscles respond well to low-repetition training. Type 1 muscles respond well to high-repetition training and evenly mixed muscles respond best to mid-repetition training.

Michael Coveney: Holmes shakes up the Lyric, scatters seeds for the future
It's always fascinating to see how closures, refurbishment and architectural development shake up the life and activity of theatres. Both the Royal Court under Stephen Daldry and the Royal Exchange in Manchester were seriously reinvigorated by enforced exile: Daldry's Court in the West End during refurbishment, the Exchange elsewhere in the city after an IRA bomb in the nearby shopping centre.Now the Lyric Hammersmith has formed a new resident company of twenty artists - ten actors, ten "creatives" - while the theatre undergoes extensive building work as part of a £16.5m capital project; this involves a major facelift and a two-storey extension to improve the Lyrics's work with young people and in the community.
So, the "Secret Theatre" will be perpetrated in the middle of a building site and over the year, through to next May, ten plays, some new, some classics, will be released into the repertory. No announcements will be made, no titles given, no Press nights fixed. The auditorium - which is unaffected by the changes - will be boarded over and a new flexible performing space created with seating for 200 people.
Sean Holmes, the artistic director, steamed into a Critics' Circle meeting last week to give us an impassioned preview, saying the whole season was inspired by the integrity and deep, forensic thinking about theatre by Edward Bond; and also by his own experience on co-producing Simon Stephens' controversial Three Kingdoms last year with a German director and a mix of British and Estonian actors.
Holmes believes he's working towards a "new type of theatre" and he's got Stephens right there behind him on the team, as well as playwrights Hayley Squires and Joel Horwood, both immensely talented, and a bunch of comparatively unknown actors including the versatile panto specialist Steven Webb and the extraordinary Leo Bill, soon to be seen in Mike Leigh's new film about the painter JMW Turner. Holmes' chief assistant director is rising star Ellen McDougall, while the team also includes a Korean-born designer, Hyemi Shin, and the Lyric's head of sound Nick Manning.
On paper at least, this all sounds like the sort of tight, close-knit ensemble that I've been advocating for years as a way of re-booting the RSC and possibly the National Theatre; those monoliths, for all the sporadic excellence of their work, have in fact become cultural conveyor belts. Redefining them would be like trying to turn round a liner in a tin bath.
Even the best of our fringe theatres merely do one play after another. The idea of ensemble, repertory, organic development of any kind, is quite literally foreign to the current British theatre, and Holmes's initiative could possibly become the most exciting thing to have happened for some time.
"The trouble with the RSC" Holmes says - he worked there as an assistant director - "and the National, is the tightness of the structures. You hardly see anything bad at the National, and that's sort of unhealthy." Lauding the German theatre, where nobody's happy, and the audiences are never tame or consensual, Holmes suggests its vigour and daring-ness is something to do with not wanting another war to happen. "Katie Mitchell, " he said, "understands the war now by having worked there a lot."
But can Holmes make our British sense of humour, irony and wit - low priorities in the German scheme of things - bend to a Teutonic model? I imagine he has no idea, which is all part of the experiment. "I have to be arrogant and humble," he says, but he's punching hard before he even comes out of his corner. His natural pugnacity, and great skill as a director, is now harnessed to the biggest challenge of his career.
The season starts on 9 September, all seats are £15, and anyone who lives or works in Hammersmith and Fulham can claim two free tickets to see Show 1 and Show 2 on the 5 and 6 September. It may all be terrible, but I doubt if it will be dull.
Meanwhile, Vicky Featherstone's Open Court continued last night with the latest piece of Surprise Theatre in the Theatre Upstairs, Sand by Nick Gill. This was a remarkable monologue about nuclear radiation and disaster delivered with stunning technique and unwavering intensity by the brilliant Irish actress Eileen Walsh.
I hope we have a chance to see it again, perhaps on a bill of the best of Surprise once Featherstone announces her first full season. Or perhaps it's essential to these projects that they come and go with the wind and somehow seeds are scattered throughout the Sloane Square theatre to produce fruit later on... that's what it feels like at the moment, and so does the uncertainty and excitement surrounding Sean Holmes' plans for the Lyric.

Screwtape worms
into Bethel drama
by Sharon Erickson
Satan is alive and well. "Screwtape,"
James Forsyth's play based on The
Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, gives
us insight into the activities of the devil
in a young "assignment's" life, according
to Terry Olson, who plays Mike,
the "assignment."
Set in the demons' environment,
"Screwtape" shows how Screwtape, a
senior devil, directs Wormwood, a junior
devil, in attacks on Mike, a young human.
Their object is to lead Mike to
Hell by making him sin as much as
possible and keeping him from knowing
God. Karl Shafer plays Wormwood and
Steve Jergenson is Screwtape.
Terry, talking about the character
Mike, said the role is different from
any he has played before. He must
understand and act out things he has
never done. "I want the audience to
identify with me as a normal human"
he said. "The audience should see th~t
there can be no apathy - there are
always powers fighting for them. Not
to decide is to decide."
Guest director for the play is Mike
Stair, a 1973 graduate of Bethel. He
wants to present the play in a way
the Lord can speak through it best,
he said. "Christians are and must be
directly involved with demonic activities.
Our desire is not to frighten people,
but to give them an awareness of Satanic
activities leading people to Hell." The
comedy in the play is an excellent medium
for portraying this, he said.
To find out what the devil could be
doing to you, see "Screwtape." Performances
are Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings, February 14, 15, 20, 21 and
22, at 8 p.m. Tickets may be purchased
in the concession stand for $1.50.

A II ca:retakerll
dean is holding
down the iob
by Gaylene Jones
Dwight W. Jessup, associate professor
of political science, comments on his
role as acting dean, "I feel like a dislocated
faculty member." President Carl
Lundquist appointed Jessup to serve as
acting dean between Dean Virgil Olson's
departure and dean-elect George Brushaber's
arrival 'in May.
Jessup compares his intervening term
to that of a "caretaker government,"
one that holds until someone else arrives.
"I'm holding an upward pattern
of growth as I continue on with Dean
Olson's policies except where I'm anticipating
what Brushaber will be doing,"
said Jessup. "There is a certain future
to plan accordingly for." Jessup expects
to work with the administrative council
concerning staff hiring, budget planning,
possible enrollment expansion, a possible
nursing progra m and other issues. "The
nice thing," Jessup said, "is that I have
a good supporting staff to work with.
I can rely on others for help."
Jessup said he accepted the job because
"I saw it as an opportunity to
. serve Bethel in a different capacity.
It sounded exciting and it still is. It
was also an ideal opportunity for me
to tryout an academic administrative
role." Jessup expressed that he might

for the future. When asked if he liked

There has been no small amount of controversy the last
few weeks over the open letter which was placed on oversized
cars in Bethel's parking lots during Founder's Week.
A representative from the higher echelons even came down
to visit us the first day of the semester, asking us if we
thought it was funny that he received one on his car
(he uses a Bethel-owned automobile). Then he asked if we
thought it was funny that Warren Magnuson, executive secretary
of the Baptist General Conference, received a letter
on his station wagon. We smiled, but didn't reply.
That's because we really don't think it's too funny.
We agree with the signers of the letter. Too many of
us are not serious in our concern for God's world and are
not serious about thinking how we as individuals should
be working to improve our environment (or at least how we
can avoid contributing to the schluck). What kind of stewardship
of creation is this? Instead of taking the letter in the
manner in which it was intended and re-evaluating their
roles in this mess, too many people merely reacted to the
fact that a group of Bethel students had the nerve to
perpetrate this project. Perhaps some people don't realize
that the signers of the letter went through the proper channels
and that the letter placing was O.K.'d through the
offices of the Academic Dean and the Dean of Student
Affairs. Perhaps some people are honestly guilt ridden and

Fish-students otn'd Ilo·u:nders;
i,t might step on your li'ns
Dear Editor:
Once upon a time there was a school of fish. Now this was
no ordinary school of fish, as they had all banded together
for the Common Cause. One day, a small group of fishstudents
started questioning the rights of those who could
effectively exercise control over the rapidly degenerating
"Look," said one fish-student, "I'm rather tired of living
in the waste of mankind. I thought it unique being the only
one living in a rusted Olympia can, but I see this as
lavish living and would much rather use a more basic,
less expensive lifestyle. I will try to open the eyes of my
fellow fish!"
So the fish-student went to some other fish-students as
well as some of the fish-student leaders- and got permission
to share this concern with the other members of the Common
Cause. It just so happened that the first fish-student
saw the annual Common Cause Get-together and special
invitation of the Flounders as an appropriate time to share
his concern about the environment.
"Don't you realize that you're ruffling their scales," said
one of the fish-leaders. "We must treat the Flounders with
honor, and your seaweed scripts inserted under their seahorse-
carriage window-washers really upset a great deal of
"We realize the need and benefits of our friends, " said
the first fish-student. "But, we really need to remove the
nictitating membranes from our eyes to see the situation
we're in."
"But can't you see, you're swimming on their fins! '?"
said the leader.
"With our circulating seaweed scripts, we meant to open
their eyes. We are thinking fish, and we know that we're
not supposed to make ideological prostitutes of ourselves.
We show our love and strength to the Common Cause Brothers
and Sisters, but we still ask them to open their

S,o'cialist candid'ate blasts
IIcapitalist class pro'pagandall
To the Editor:
In a shameless attempt to prevent those that are on the
bottom of the economic pyramid from ever bettering their
lot, Roy Ash, budget director of the Ford administration,
suggests that the administration "is mounting a major campaign
to restrain the gr owth of Social Security benefits and
other income re-distribtution programs." The fear of Socialism
1s being used as a whipping boy to scare the people into
accepting the administration's-program.
The capitalist class, fully aware of this logical alternative,
has good r eason to be worried. Despite the antiSocialist
propaganda of the capitalist class through the news
media and educational institutions which it controls, the
workers willi ultimately withdraw their support from a system
that impoverishes them and inflicts great suffering upon the
old and handicapped.
The government proposal will augment the process of
disillusionment of the workers, many of whom will be the
Social Security recipients of tomorrow. Real security can
only exist under a system that produces for use as the
Socialist Labor Party advocates.
The present politicians and their capitalist retainers have'
good reason to be worried. But Socialism will have to be
esta blished through a c()mmon class conscious act of the
workers and not by reforms which merely strive to prolong
the existing system. To learn the truth about Socialism

eyes to the situation." ,
It just so happened that most of the other fish saw
this little group going against the current and couldn't
really see any reason for what was happening. Some of them
even said that the actions of the group and the circulating
seaweed scripts were against the great wr it of the
Common Cause Seaweed. It was no use anyway, even if
the great pollutipn were to occur, surely 'the Common Cause
Leader would not allow such a school of fish to undergo
such a horror!
And you know, those fish were right. The pollution only
got 1;>ad enough so that the school had to move to shallower
water. It Was a great, new move! Except, that as they swam,
the school was raptured by ~the nets of fishermen, and was
served upon the dinner table. ,But, at least they weren't polluted.

therefore reacted defensively because they received a letter
on their car.
We realize that some problems did arise in the execution
of the letter placing. Some cars received letters which
weren't supposed to and so on. But that's not the point.
The point is that people who drive the biggest, gas eatingest
cars they can are misusing our environment. If they can't
afford to trade in for another car, they should take good
care of the one they have to make sure it gets the best
performance possible.
Our deteriorating environment is not a joke. We trust
that not one of God's redeemed children thinks it is.

The nightmare of Vietnam is once again rearing its
ugly head on the front pages of our newspapers. Despite
the signing of the much-publicized, and. much ignored, "peace
with honor" treaty over two years ago, the fighting con.
tinues. In some cases, it is increasing at an alarming rate.
With problems continuing to beset them, the South Vietnamese
government, as well as that of Cambodia, once
again turns to the United States for help.
President Ford has r esponded to their pleas with a 1976
budget request of $1.3 billion in military aid for Vietnam
and $479 million for Cambodia.
What should our reaction to this be, keeping in mind
that this money will be coming out of our pockets? We
believe that our reaction should be one big, collective "NO!"
At a time when the economy of our country is facing its
worst period since the Depression, at a time when (ac-'
cording to a Congressional report) the biggest increase in
the American family's budget is attributed to taxes, and at
a time when the country is finally beginning to recover
from the deep wounds of its traumatic Vietnam experience,
it is imperative that we make the desclsion to rescind the
blank checks which are annually issued to Southeast Asia.
"Continuing American military and economic involvement
in Indochina will not bring that unhappy region closer to
a lasting peace," stated 82 Congressmen ih a letter to President
Ford earlier this week. We heartily concur. The
civil strife which has engulfed Southeast Asia for the last
35 years will not halt because of $5 or $10 or even $50
billion more American dollars. Military aid may strengthen
the Thieu regime in Saigon (which is a questionable goal
in itself) and it may prolong the Lon Nol government in
Cambodia, but these are only short-term results. It is time for
the American people, and for the American President, to
realize the lessons of history and to end our Indochina
involv:ement, once and for all.
The choice that Congress faces now is in reality the
same one that .Americans faced one decade and 60,000 lives
ago. Are we as a nation going to continue to pour our na-
I tional resources into Southeast Asia in the hopes that those resources
will bring peace to that region? The obvious difference
is that American fighting men are no longer actively
involved in . the war effort. It, is our contention that by
continuing to support Southeast Asia, the door is left open
for that to re-occur as well.
As Eric Sevareid recently stated, "During times of
economic distress, the problems of foreign affairs get pushed
into the background." That is obviously true and is also
justifiable. With millions of Americans out of work, with
taxes rising, with inflation eating into each paycheck, with
worthwhile domestic programs being cut back, it is obvious
that the American people are going to be concerned about
their own welfare. And as attention, and money, is turned
to these matters of domestic concern, those of lesser concern,
especially Southeast Asia, must suffer. So be it. It is our
feeling that now is the time for America to withdraw,
totally and equivocably, from Southeast Asia. It is time we
said "no!" to President Ford's request.

Legends have been born and passed into obscurity, but
some legends still remain to satisfy the inquisitive minds of

of various land forms, such as mountains, rivers and lakes.
One such legend is about the naming of a lake tucked
into the virgin woods of central MiiInesota. Once called
NOSWIM BEAR by the Inpians because of its close location
to the village and the campus this heart-shaped lake has
been renamed in recent legendry because of its involvement
in the end of a romance. And here our account of this
legend begins:
February 14, Valentine's Day, is just like any other ordinary
day, except to people in love. Often this day is preceded
by many days of planning and thoughts of kindest
expression. Poems, prayers, and promises are versed, whispered,
and broken during this time.
The legendary loving ' couple named Joe Junior and Han-'
nah High Schooler were two such Valentine lovers who were
responsible for this legend of the naming of the lake. Joe,
a pre-Sem student majoring in Flannelgraph Evangelism and
Hannah, a high school cheerleader known for leading cheers,
had gone together "four score arid seven years," and in
anticipation of the coming Valentine's Day Joe was frantically
preparing his various expressions of love. He . had
purchased a diamond needle for , her phonograph, a 100-
pound ' chocolate heart from Fannie and a promise ring for _
her bathtub. Not only had he bought all this plus tickets
to the Sweetheart Banquet, but he had also ironed his bowling
shirt and rented some black socks. Confident of her reply, Joe
casually approached her with his gifts and asked her to be his
Valentine and give him the honor of escorting her to . the
Sweetheart Banquet. Without batting an eyelash, she coldly
replied that she was already going with the President of the '
Future Teacher'S Club.
Taken aback, Joe, in a fit of rage tied the lOO-pound'
chocolate heart around her neck and flung her into the
lake. Then he, ' realizing his love - of chocolate - dove
in ·after. Floundering in ' the , waters, the two made the
chocolate shake, but were inevitably drawn to the eternal
arms of Neptune and lost. And so the memory of this fateful
. Valentine's couple lives on in legendry as the name of
on any large or X-large . Pizza!

throug~ Special Programs
by Mary Norton
You are not limited to the campus of Bethel College. Many
opportunities for study abroad exist for students who may .
wish to change their perspective. A four-year liberal arts
education can mean more than taking and passing all classes
in residence.
The Special Programs Committee, a group of. students
and faculty members, has formed a five-member subcommittee
for the purpose of compiling a list of overseas study
programs that are available to students. Alternatives to eight
semesters and' three or four interims at Bethel include
summer, interim, semester, and year-long sessions at accredited
colleges and universities in Europe, Mrica, Asia,
and South and Central America.
While several of the programs offer intensive study in
foreign languages, most other opportunities have no minimum
language requirements. As a matter of fact, the Institute
of American Universities, with campuses in England, France,
and Israel, was established for American students whose
interests may range from painting and art history to philosophy
and sociology. Another program designed for the American
student abroad is the American International Academy
and offers courses determined by location in Europe, the
Soviet Union, Japan, North Africa, and the Near East. Most
of the programs for English-speaking students have costs
comparable to a college or university in the U.S.
For those interested in language and culture, there's
no better way to become familiar with the practical aspects
of your particular field than to spend some time living
it. Spanish, German, French, and Swedish are some of
the languages available for specialization. In many countries
a Family Stay Program is offered. This program allows
college students to live with a family at little or no cost,
depending on the location and the stipulations of the over-
. seas school attended .
The cost for any of the listed programs ranges widely.
Six weeks on Austria is $340 plus transportation. A full
year spent in Germany, with full credit for courses taken,
can cost well over $3,500. Since prices vary so much because
of different lengths of stay, location, and di,ffering tuition
and costs of living, it is probably best to get specific information
from the particular program that you are interested
in. The Study Abroad Program of Christian Colleges and
most schools for English-speaking students offer financial
aid in the forms of fellowships, grants, and free or redUced
transportation and room and board fees.
Members of the overseas study subcommittee ·have partial
listings of the programs available and can find out where
the information is located. If you have sOIfle questions or
would like 'some information you should contact Ed Anderson,
David Sperry, Bobbi Hersch, Gary Setterberg, or

IIFounder's . Week flyerll causes uproar
by Steve Harris
"Our purpose was to get Christians to take a new look
at creation," explains Larry Herzberger, author of the "ecology"
flyer placed on over 500 Bethel cars on Wednesday
of Founder's Week. The people who agreed with what we
were saying are the ones who agree that the Gospel does
demand a radical change in our life-style."
The flyer, sponsored by "Bethel Students Concerned for
Environmental Protection," was placed on cars which, according
to Herzberger, "seemed like big gas eaters." Cars
that were "probable oil burners" were also ticketed with
the flyer which read:
Judging from the size and/or condition of your car, it
seems that you do not have .0. sense of community. The
environment does not exist for you personally. In consuming
our natuml resources for your own comfort you are not con·
sidering your children and my children and all of the
world's needy. Egocentricism is condemned universally by all
of the world's religions (there is an equivalent to the Golden
Rule in virtually all the world's sacred writings). Even the
secular humanist is aware of his moral obligations. You
affect others by your e~ample. Why not get a more econom·
ical car and do your share for the sake of the environment?"
After an illustrative parable of a young girl's handiwork
being destroyed by her father, the flyer concludes:
" Is this a pic1ure of the Christian in God's creation?
Let us practice what we say we believe, namely, that a loving
God has created and loves that creation. It is an expression
of His own personality and exists, not for man to abuse
and discard, but for His own glory.
"Perhaps this does not apply to your specific case but
it is something to think about. Maybe the next car will
be a better choice."
For somewhat obvious reasons, the flyer caused a great
deal of commotion among those drivers who found it on their
windshields. While some merely discarded it, others read it
and were angered at the implications.
/ "Frankly, I was intellectually insulted by the whole
thing," said Paul Siemers, a Bethel senior. "The first sentence
(of the flyer) put me into an antagonistic frame of
mind toward those who 'were passing them out. As a persuasive
effort it was totally un-influential - I seriously doubt
whether it changed anybody's mind."
"The argmnents I received against the flyer were mostly
r,ationali7iations," counters Herzberger. "The two I got most
frequently were first, 'you have no right to tell me what
I can do,' and second, 'you were too judgmental.' But Scrip·
ture tells us to uphold each other in righteousness. The
reason that people thought we were being judgmental was
because they're n'ot used to being confronted directly. It
wasn't offensive or rude."
One of the objections raised against the flyer was that
it was done during Founder's Week. Was that just a coincidence?
"No, it wasn't a coincidence," explains Herzberger, "this
was my fourth Founder's Week and I wanted to say something
to them. As it turned out, someone told me that there
were more people talking about the flyer than the speakers."
As author of the flyer, Herzberger made sure that
the Bethel administration was made aware of his plans to
distribute it.
"I talked to both Dwight Jessup (Dean of Students)
and Mack Nettleton (Dean of -Student Affairs) and they
both gave me their okay," explained Herzberger. "I wanted
to be sure we went through the right channels."
Along with Herzberger, who drives a Maverick, thirteen
,other Bethel students signed the flyer. Their reasons were
"I signed the flyer becuase I wanted to be identified
with what the writer of the flyer said," said Rhonda Dye.
"I do believe that we as Christians have to be more conscious
about the little things we do in our lives daily. But
my intentions in signing it were misunderstood. If I had
written the flyer myself, I think I would have stated it
differently. "
Joh~ Mann, a senior from Fort Collins, Colorado, also
placed his signature on ,the flyer, although he now expresses
misgivings about it.
Larry Herzberger sits and chats in his favorite
corner in the lounge ~f the Academic Center.
"I'm sorry I signed it," he says, "although I do agree
, with the main idea of what it says. I think the method
was wrong. As people came up to me after it happened
and asked me about it, I felt more and more convicted."
Herzberger admits that the flyer was controversial, but he
is optimistic that his idea got across to some people.
"Those people who took the time to read it a second

Fo.r too. lo.ng, we've all lo.o.ked at this wo.rld 'as 'unimpo.rtant,

we need to be different. We need to. be the salt o.f the

we're no. different than the wo.rld.
and our lifestyles. And we should start thinking about the
environment, the trees, children, and the children who aren't
even here yet. Those are the ideas behind the flyer."
Were the objectives of the flyer met? According t o' Herzberger,
it did accomplish some good things.
"We've rocked the boat, sure, but I'm happy · about thqt.
It seems like ' the Gospel is always given in such palatabl~
forms. But we dared to attack the complacency of the Christian
community. Whether people reacted · to it with acceptance
or rejection, at least they had to think about it."

Dear Editor:
About half way through Interim, KABY
radio station under new management
was conceived. With its conception, applications
were sent out to interested students.
Multiple hiring led to the formation
of KABY's various positions. Interviews,
surveys, phone calls, meetings,
training, formating, and lots of prayer,
all took place in the next couple of
weeks and so KABY, with new times,
new people, and a new sound, was anxiously
waiting to ,be born. Her birth
was scheduled for February 7, at 7
with the "Great Friday Nite Give Away.~'
At 6 :45 the announcer still had not shown
up, and the control board was threatening
a breakdown. By 7 p.m. however,
everyone was set and KABY gave birth
to. a new approach at Christian radio.
When asked to consider the position
of General Manager, I quickly turned
it down. I felt I lacked the '. ability,
tr aining, and knowledge of how to run
a r adio station. I still do not feel qual..
'ified, but what changed my mind was
Psalm 1: 1-3. I read that a righteous
man is blessed by God and "in all
that he does, he prosper:.§." It hit me
directly and again I read, "in all that
he does, he prospers." What a promise!
So I took the position, not on the basis
of qualifications, but ,on this promise
of God, that if I seek first his righteousness,
then as G.M. God would help
me succeed. We will make many mist
akes you can be sure, for all our ann':
mncers have little or no experience,
but if you listen, you will receive a '
blessing, for it's God's word in song.
KABY 56, 13 hours a day, Monday
through Friday 7-9 and -midnight .. Thank
you for listening!

. How far does plot extend?
At least Bethel isn't duped.
by Paul and David J. Healy
In 1975, sandwiched between an election
year and the bicentennial celebration,
Americans are besieged with more than
the usual amount of political hoopla.
Still reeling from the effects of last
year's get-out-the-vote rhetoric, we are
now expected to endure months of prebicentennial
propaganda. Some of us,
though, have seen things that stifle the
old patriotic zeal. Watergate is only the
most recent in a series of events that
have created what is commonly called
a "credibility gap." The United States
government has for quite some time
engaged in a widespread program of
domestic and international diversion, deception,
and duplicity, all of which has
served to defraud, decoy, and dupe John
Q. Public.
No one really knows how long this
full-scale plot has been in operation.
We first became aware, of it in 1969,
the year of the first "moon shot." That
year also witnessed increased American
involvement in Southeast Asia. Not only
was the war in Vietnam escalated,
but military operations were initiated
in Cambodia and Laos. On July 3 the
United States military command admitted
for the first time that it had conducted
bombing raids in Cambodia, and on
July 24 Hanoi charged that the U.S ..
had invaded Laos. Domestic response
to the war probably reached its ,height
at this time. Student demonstrations, and
m,¥,ches, sit-ins and the like proved that
many Americans were fed up with foreign
The federal government~ response to
domestic dissatisfactiori was to create
a diversion of cosmic proportions: the
first moon landing) conveniently ' sched- .
uled for July 20, 1969. This was a twofold
dupe job. First, the powers hoped
to detour the public eye from interna~
tional ills ' and . rally Americans around
the Eagle. Second, 'Americans were duped
because the fabled moon shot never
actually occurred.
The boys a.t mission control put on
a good show, although to us their efforts
were squarely in the sci-fi tradition, com·

static. The whole affair could have been
filmed almost anywhere, although evidence
points to a warehouse in Tucson.
Acme School of Acting probably provided
the spacemen, one of whom could not
even read his cue card. And the much
heralded moon rocks - indistinguishable
from earth rocks - could just as easily
as not have been pilfered from Russ
Johnson's basement collection.
The American public, minus a few
top-Jevel scientists who were paid to
corroborate the space fiasco, swallowed
the bait. Certain members of the international
community saw through the
sham, but these countries were easily
silenced with a few tons of wheat or
other economic and/or military considerations.
For a time public interest and media
coverage were so much monopolized by
moon mania that Vietnam faded into
the background. But eventually Water-
, gate reared its ugly head, ' and another
cosmological coup was in order. On
March 12, 1973 Richard Nixon first invoked
executive privilege. Less than one
week later, on'March 18, Comet Kahoutek
was "discovered."
Here, perhaps more than in the moon
shot caper, the cooperation of scientists
was necessary. Once several top astronomers
had been paid to manufacture
and perpetuate the Kahoutek myth, other
scientists quickly became victims of the
"emperor's-new-c1othes" syndrome. Astronauts
supposedly observed Kahoutek
rounding the sun on December 28, 1973.
But did they have any better view from
Tucson than the rest of us who never
saw it at all?
And so when Kahoutek fizzled out,
a new ploy was needed to divert public
attention from Watergate. While Kahou·
tek fooled some of the people some
of the time, the energy crises - thrust
upon a highly industrialized society in
Which everyone depended upon some
form of energy for his ~ery existence
-was an attempt to fool all of the
people all of the time. With an acute
energy shortage at hand (the reasoning
went) people would be 80 busy pulling
together to overcome a threat to their
way of life that they would forget about
alleged government misdoinglil.
Obviously, the plan backfired. Not only
did many Americans eventually see
-through the "shortage," but even those
who were temporarily fooled had no
intention of pulling together. The phony
crisis did, however, indirectly divert at- ,
tention from Watergate by providing yet
another target for public complaints. But
instead of creating an optimistic spirit
and restoring public faith in government,
the abortive energy crisis only served
to fUrther erode its credibility.
When these various diversions failed
and public demand forced an extended
inquiry into Watergate shenanigans, the
cover ' was blown and certain executive
bigwigs were caught with their corporate
pants down. The task of the new executive
then, was, as quickly and quietly
as possible, to dispense with the whole
mess. His was a difficult job since by
that time public opinion had been thoroughly
aroused. A new decoy was needed.
Is it purely coincidental that Evel Knieval
made his historic "jump" of the
Snake River Canyon on the very same
day as the presidential pardon?
This is only one of the questions that
confronts John Q. Public. The implications
of full-scale diversionary politics
are mind-boggling. How many seemingly
innocent events have been staged for
ulterior purposes, ,and how many people
are on the take? .
Why did Hank Aaron delay his historic
home run for a season when AI Downing
could have fed him a gopher ball in
September just as easily as in April?
Why was the Ali-Foreman fight delayed
for so long when it was obviously fixed
from the beginning?
Who' paid Fanne Foxe, and who wanted
Wilbur Mills' reputation ruined? Did
he know too much?
Who really created the drawn-out Patty
Hearst hoax?
Why did Nixon's phlebitis ' flare up
at such an opportune time?
In the final analysis, who . can one

be clea~ by now, is r,eally quite well.
found·ed. There are no more verities';
all the old taboos are gone. What stands
between us and cataclysmic turmoil,
ramp,ant insurgency, and festering faccism?
And who known how far down
the line the plot extends? Why, after
all, did Dean Olson leave -in the middle
of the year? Why was Ms. Dewey farmed

Texas? And why did student bOdy vicepresident

After losing to Northwestern of Iowa by a 20-point margin
earlier in the season, the Royals returned last Friday to
give the Raiders a few surprises. "It was the best game
we have played against Northwestern since I started coaching
at Bethel," Trager said. Although the Royals ,finished the
game on the wrong end of a 55-50 score, the team showed
an aggressive defense and good ball-control. Mark Robertson
was high Bethel scorer with 13 points, Wayne Hallquist
put in 9, and Rick Seume 8.
Saturday night at Westmar College was "simply disappointing,"
said leading scorer Paul Healy (22 points).
The Royals were defeated in three overtimes, 86-85. Trager
was quick to point out that Westmar had beaten Bethel
81-66 on February 1. "In spite of the loss, I think the
team is now playing very close to its full potential."
Bethel pulled ahead by six points early in the first
five-minute overtime, but was unable to hold the lead. "We
had many chances to clinch the win, but we weren't able
to capitalize on them," Trager lamented. Behind Healy,
Robertson scored 21, Hallquist had 17, and Seume 12.
Seventeen-game statistics (through February 1) showed
that the Royals have averaged 65 points per game, with
shooting of 44 percent from the field and 66 percent from
the free-throw line. Paul Healy, junior, leads the team with
13.8 points per game, followed by Mark Robertson, Wayne
Hallquist and Rick Seume. Robertson has grabbed the most
rebounds, 116, and Seume has the best field goal percentage,

Scott Anderson and John Selvog hope to replace last year's

Freshman Frank Bahr will concentrate on the shot put,
while Greg Dirnberger looks promising in the 100-yard dash;
he recorded a ten-second time in that event in high school,
according to Glader.
John Lauer, a 1974 Bethel graduate, will assist Glader
in coaching the middle and long-distance runners.
The Royals' overall schedule is a tough one, Glader said.
Last year's Tri-State Conference champ Westmar will again
be "strong and hard to beat." Bethel also faces such teams

"We've gained back some of our former respectability

coach Jack Trager of his team, now 6-14 and 1-6 in TriSta

The improved Royals will be facing two formidable
challenges this weekend in the Bethel gym. Tonight at
7 :30, Sioux Falls (4-2 conference record) will be looking for
its second season victory at Bethel. The Braves will be led
by Tim Dykstra, 6'8", described by Trager as probably
the best center in the conference. The Royals will also have
to cope with forwards Jim Jibben, 6'7", and Wayne Mielke,
6'2", two other keys to Sioux Falls' success this season.
Yankton College (3-3 conference record) will meet the
Royals at 2 p.m. tomorrow. The Greyhounds are big
like Sioux Falls, but younger, according to Trager. "If we
can grab a quick lead and keep the pressure on, we have
a good chance of winning."
Bethel's last game is. at home against Concordia, February

Indoor tro!ck begins
tomorro;w at Ca'r/e'ton
by Curtis Kregness
Undaunted by temperatures hovering close to zero and the
wind chill at -25 degrees, Bethel's 1975 track team began
practicing last week. What's it like running outside under
those conditions? "You get used to it - after a while,"
quipped one of the sprinters.
Coach Gene Glader is "cautiously optimistic" about his
young squad. "If we can ward off injuries, we should make
a fairly good showing in the conference," he said. The
team's only senior, Steve Whittaker, is also its captain.
In his fourth year of track at Bethel, he looks forward
to a productive season for the team with the aid of some
intensive training.
That training began in earnest from the start, because
tomorrow the Royals travel to Carleton College to participate
as a team in their first official indoor meet with
Macalester and Carleton. Individuals have already been
active in several preseason meets. On February 1, John
Cox took first place in the 1000-yard run, and Whittaker
captured top honors in the 880-yard run at Carleton in a
U.S. Track and Field Federation-sponsored meet.
Five more indoor meets intervene before the outdoor
season begins on March 28 with the team's annual spring trip.
Glader said that the 880 and 440-ya,rd runs should prove to
be the Royals' strongest events. The team might suffer,
however, from lack of depth in the weight events - discus,
shot put, and javelin - he said.
Returning lettermen Cox, Whittaker, Gene Blair, Steve
Hage, Mike Bogard and Ward Anderson will all make valuable
contributions in the shorter distances, said Glader.
Blair last year toppled the freshman record in the 440-
yard dash with a time of 49.3 seconds. In addition to running
the 440, Anderson will make an attempt at replacing
graduated Tom Henrickson in the javelin throw.
Bruce Peterson, a junior with two previous letters in
track, is expected to lead the team in the pole vault.
Jerry Flasch will be specializing in shot put and discus.
Craig Oslin is hoping to better his last year's high jump
mark of 6'4". Doug Peterson, junior, will be a strong contender
in the mile run, according to Glader.
There will also be many new faces on the team. Westmont
transfer Mark Edwards will compete in discus and shot
put. Glader expects transfer David "Willy" Gardner (Fulb.
erton Junior College, California) to break several school
records in both long jump and high jump.
From Ramsey High School of St. Paul comes Curt Brown
and Dave Clapp. Both will call upon their experience in Bethel
