Students Say ...
Student Power At Bethel?
"I agree in part with the speakers at the forum. However, stu-dents
should not have the final say in any aspect of either academic
or non-academic areas, although I think we should have some say.
We're not always responsible and the deans, faculty members, and
others who make decisions now are far wiser than us." BODIEN
"I think we should change the term to student responsibility.
The general consensus of kids here is that the concept itself has
a definite place in the Bethel community." FRESHMAN AND
"We ought to have limited but not complete power. I think
the administration and student body should have about equal
power." THIRD FLOOR HAGSTROM COED
"Student Senate isn't using adequately the power they possess.
I'm a freshman, and I know that our class is not organized very
well yet. I think the student body needs to work together. With stu-dent
cooperation and with good representatives in senate, I think
there is much that could be accomplished." FIRST FLOOR HAG-STROM
"I'm all for it as it was presented in the Thursday forum. Stu-dents
are not interested in the issue because they have been misin-formed
about it. I think we ought to have a student education pro-gram
by conducting meetings in the dorms and manors on a level
where students can be personally exposed to the student power
concept." SR., EDGREN FIRST FLOOR, NEW WING
"I think the administration of the campus can make the most
accurate appraisals regarding scholarship on campus. I don't think
students ought to take over the campus because this would result
in narrow decisions without the block of information available to
to the administration. Students should serve, however, in an ad-visory
capacity. I just don't have enough faith in the students to
give them more authority." SENIOR, EDGREN PIT
"I don't go for it too much. I don't understand what it is they
want. I'm not interested because I've got studying to do. Most of
my friends are against it too. Partly because the students don't
know much about it (running the school). FRESHMAN, 2ND
"I would like to see students involved in campus committees,
especially those involved in making dorm and social rules. Mem-bership
on academic committees would also be a good thing. This
would have to be with limited voting power of course." SOPHO-MORE,

Student Power At Bethel?
"Kids are afraid of it because of the slogan. I don't think the forum
clearly pointed out what student power was. I don't like anything that
causes riots. These matters should be settled in a more intelligent way.
I've seen students take responsibility and make a mess of it. I'd want
to see more stability, more thought, more action. I think student power
should have something more tangible. Students just don't have the
maturity that comes with years of living." Ma Peterson
"I attended the forum and certainly stand behind and advocate the
objectives set forth there. I don't think student power should center
about the petty issues. There is a problem of great student apathy, how-ever.
For the few students who are pushing this, the burden of accept-ing
the responsibilities might be too time consuming. However, I think
the students ought to take steps where they can. I don't think the slogan
is bad. It may be misunderstood, but it has a punch." Pastor Al Glenn
"I don't think I have anything constructive to say at the moment.
It's difficult to say something off the top of my head. I would, however,
be willing to discuss the issue with any student who is interested." Mr.
Disk Ward
"It's hard to comment on this. My initial reaction is that it is not
a strong movement on campus. Judging from the response, it is not
a real problem with the majority of the students. I think the attempts
to establish dialogue are good; we can always use more of that. I would
like to see the students get more involved in something like this." Mr.

`Power' Is Not A Program
Seen As A Basic Approach
Student power is not a system, it is not a program, it is not a recipe for anything.
Student power is a state of mind, it is an attitude, it is a point of personal under-standing.
To confuse student power with involvement is as mistaken as identifying attendance on
Wednesday night prayer meeting with being Christian.. Student power is not a concerted effort
to mobilize student energies for involvement.
It may well be true that a person who has made the scene with student power, will
become an active member of many campus organiations, this may not always follow. Nor
are those currently caught up in campus affairs necessarily aware of what student power
As stated elsewhere on this page, the ultimate fate of student power cannot be deter-mined
by whether or not students want it. There is no alternative to the person who is sin-cerely
dedicated to wresting from this school an education.
By virtue of their presence on this campus, we can only assume that the majority of
this campus is intensely aware of the importance of their development as adults. To as-sume
otherwise is to reduce this campus to a high school level.
There are a host of ways in which the students could be helping to remake this college.
The coils of rope are stacked high at almost every turn, suggestive of the need to rethink the
relationship of the individual to the purposes of the school.
The press for activity without a purpose is an adequate solution to the problem. Stu-dent
power is here then, not to prod a lethargic community to action, but to instill an attitude
of concern among students.
Power Slogan Is Currently
Only Viable Alternative A number of campus individuals have expressed some
reservations about the use of the term 'student power'. They
have suggested that the slogan alienates a large sector of the
student body because of its radical ring. In its place, such slo-gans
as 'student responsibility' and 'student maturity' have
been suggested.
There is a very intimate relationship between power and
responsibility. They function together in equal proportion to
each other. When individuals lament the misleading nature of
`student power' and suggested instead 'student responsibility'
they have fallen into the very trap which they so pointedly
Because of such thistorical precedents at Hitler, Mussolini,
and Stalin, conservative elements of the world are afraid of
the word power because it calls forth associations of violence
and tyranny. They would much rather hear mundane talk of
The Conference is in this sense a conservative group. It
fears the violence that it associates with the syndrome 'power'.
Simply to cater to this weakness is not reason enough to change
the slogan which the campus movement now bears. To change
it to something which is equally misleading is even less reason
to change.
Furthermore, it is politically unrealistic to expect any nor-mal
human being to rally to the call 'student responsibility',
just as it is impossible to picture the French workers storming
the Bastille to the cry, "Duty, Obligation, Maturity"!
We are unafraid of the slogan — it headlines a worthy
cause. Those who fear it should: 1) show why there is cause
to fear either intrinsically, or 2) find a politically viable alter-native
to the present slogan.

"The text for the morning will be taken from the college catalog.
If you have your catalogs with you, please turn with me to page 8,
where I will read from the first paragraph under "Bethel Aims to
Pr()vide a Liberal Arts education." I quote:
The foremost aim of the program in the liberal arts at Bethel
College is to help each person to realize his unique and sacred poten-tialities
and to make his own best contribution to society. The liberal
arts, consequently, are not defined primarily in terms of particular
kinds of courses or subject matter but are distinctive in terms of
basic spirit and purpose and include all aspects of campus experience.
The college attempts to provide an intellectual, social, and spiritual
community in which individuals can grow and learn in a variety of
situations, are encouraged to assume responsibility intelligently, and
may develop a discriminating awareness of and concern for Christian
I would also like to quote from page 22, under "Values of a Liberal
The program at Bethel is designed to develop in each student the
personal qualities which will help him to:
1. Become a mature Christian person in motivation, conviction,
and conduct.
2. Become capable of stating his thoughts and emotions clearly
and effectively.
3. Become broadly intelligent in the major areas of human know-ledge
.. .
"The previous assertions are, I think, basic to a discussion of Student
Power in its Bethel context. The negative connotations attached to
the concept at other colleges and universities need not set the tone of
student power on this campus. The gist of the two quotations from the
catalog centers on student growth in knowledge and understanding, re-sponsibility,
and maturity. These things lie at the heart of student

A 'Power' Definition
from page 2
"This position is "power" whose interest and influence is directed
toward a legitimate concern of each and every student—the quality of
the liberal arts education he or she receives. This is what you and I
pay $1100 for per year, and it is the focal point of student power. Bob
Holyer will elaborate more fully on the academic aims of student power
"In the non-academic realm, student power asks for no more
than the privileges of first class citizenship. As students, we ought
to be mature enough to accept the responsibility of governing and
disciplining ourselves in non-academic areas.
In this realm the concerns of student power range from Bookstore
prices to the establishment of a student judiciary to dorm hours. Ac-cepting
responsibility in these areas is a vital step forward in a college
experience that aims at developing mature and responsible Christian
"To summarize, student power must work within the principles
of the college, and not in opposition to them. It is a process of working
with the administration, and not against them. Finally it is a matter
of facing responsibility, not shirking from it. And it is precisely this
act of accepting responsibility that defines the boundaries of student
"In closing, let me once again remind you of the two basic objectives
of student power; first, that each student has the privilege of receiving
the finest quality liberal arts education possible, and second, that

butcher, baker, and candlestick-maker, first class citizens." Lynn Bergalk.
Thursday, Dectmber 7, 1967
the CLARION Page 3 Student Forum:-
Academia And 'Power'
"With respect to the academic life of Bethel, student power attempts
to provide the student with the highest quality liberal arts education
possible. To facilitate this end student power should attempt to arouse
an interest in the academic issues of the college, to gain for the student
a share in decision-making, and to create an environment that consis-tently
demands mature, critical judgments and a reasonable degree of
intellectual autonomy.
The appeal for student power is grounded in two basic assump-tions.
First, student power assumes that mature students have both
the right and the responsibility to exert an influence on the academic
affairs of the college. Second, we assume that intellectual growth
occurs most rapidly where a critical judgment and a degree of
autonomy are presupposed.
"Comparing this definition with the educational goals presented in
the college catalogue (page 8), it is evident that student power is in
no sense antiethical or antagonistic to faculty, administration, or the
"Bethel ideals." The goal of student power is the only reasonable con-comitant
of Bethel's approach to education.
The real problem of student power, however, is that practice
never adequately supports theory. The day by day academic procedures
bear witness to the ever-widening bifurcation between the ideals of
maturity and responsibility and the practice of intellectual "spoon-feeding."
"This problem, however, is not amenable to a simple solution and
any student-initiated plan, at this point, would be pretentious. The
forte of student power is its ability to delineate an effective starting
point. This starting point is the renovation of broken lines of communi-cation
between the student body and the faculty and administration.
"Specifically, student power could be effective in sponsoring open
forums on topics of general interest and in initiating a course evalu-ation
handled by a committee of students, faculty, and administra-tion.
Student power also has a great potential in the existing faculty
"By placement of responsible students on all committees, by gaining
equal voting rights, and by establishing communication between these
committees and the student body, students could wield a responsible
and commanding influence.
"The Bethel ideals demand student power; the ability to evaluate
experience critically in terms of a Christian world-view is best devel-oped
in an environment where the student is expected to act and
think critically, responsibly, and autonomously.
"In an institution composed of students, faculty, and administration,
student power asks simply that the student assume his responsibility
to the community."

Senate Passes Request For Equal
Representation On Committees
Terry Carlson
Pulsating across American col-leges
and universities is a student
movement for power. Unlike the
proponents of these discontented
movements the Bethel Senate and
other highly interested concerns
on campus are striving to define
and see effected student action
along avenues relevant to Bethel
College. The essence of such a
movement was discussed in forum
last Thursday after chapel.
At the student power forum John
P. Larson emphasized the fact that
"student power" is balanced by
student responsibility. Mr. Larson's
contention in part projected that
the means of student participation
in responsible areas on campus
was as limited as most high school
Further, since we who attend
college are supposed to be gaining
proper training to handle situa-tions
and organizations as adults,
it is evident that a high school
setting will not teach us this re-sponsibility.
An example of more
effective participation in the whole
of college life was introduced into
the Senate Monday evening by L.
Ray Sammons.
Mr. Sammons bill passed the
Student Senate as a request to the
faculty and administration that
equal membership of students be
given on campus committees such
as, Educational Policy, Student
Personnel, Administration and Ac-ademics
Programs, Athletic Poli-cies,
Chapel and Spiritual Life,
and Convocation and Special
Weeks committees. This measure
does not imply equal voting rights
but merely equal representation.
It is a step in the right direction
in light of the goals suggested at
the student power forum.
"My colleagues have already expressed their frustration at the
gross misrepresentation suffered by the student power issue. As the
CLARION has stated time and again, the student power movement is
not a plot to wrest from the administration the right to make decisions.
It is something far bigger than even that. It is a plot to awaken among
the students a realization that this community is theirs.
"Its well being is in the interests of its members, and it is only
right, it is only logical, that we should take up a role commensurate
with that. More specifically, I see student power as an attempt to
focus and consolidate student opinion, bringing it to bear on the
decision-making centers on campus.
"One thing needs to be made very clear. Our inability to change
this campus has been a result of despair and a feeling of impotence
arrlong the students. Student power can be a reality. If only 20% of the
students could convince themselves that this campus could turn from a
pumpkin into a coach it would happen.
"Let's talk about what power means. Student power is a personal
crisis for you and me. High School and college are fundamentally
different. H.S. is a six year cafeteria line of this and that. Its purpose
is to equip each student with the raw materials which change a boy
into a man, a girl into a woman. College is where that takes place.
College is intended to bring out the man and the woman in you and me.
"I ask you, how can we ever expect to become adults when we are
operating on a system that is more parental than some High Schools.
Responsibility for this campus is sitting squarely above the adminis-tration.
As long as that is the case, students will never learn what it is
to be responsible for themselves, much less others.
"Here's where the bite comes in. Student power is asking you and
me to set aside childish pretenses and become the men and women
we must be. To cut the umbilical cord that nursed us through our
high school stage and let college do to us what it is intended to do.
"When students realize that responsibility for the campus rests
on their shoulders, then and only then can we expect a common pride
in our institution and an esprit de corps among the students.
"The effects of such a feeling are limitless. Those who whimper
about poor spirit at athletic events, those who are dissatisfied with
the academic standard, hose infected with cynicism about the future
of this institution would see their aspirations stir to life—of that I
Eric Marshals
Power Influence
Our CLARION observer, while
sleuthing through the halls recent-ly
posed to Eric the grounds keep-er
what Student Power could do
for the campus as he saw it.
His answer was direct, and
to the point, "You can keep the
kids off the grass." He went on
to explain the situation has been
steadily deteriorating in the last
several years.
He traces the problem to two
sources. Sometime ago, as Eric
recalls, a chapel speaker made
some comment about his flowers,
and how he so meticulously cared
for them. Apparently the speaker
made the reference with some
amusment. Since that time, stu-dents
have deliberately chosen to
neglect the unwritten law of the
campus greens.
Secondly, Eric took a trip two
years ago to the Homecountry.
On returning, he discovered that
students had departed from their
heretofore behavior, and mali-ciously
trampled the grass in
the mad rush to the post office.
Today, claims Eric, he is un-able
to control the hordes of chap-el
goers that ignore the sidewalks.
He emphasizes that with some dis-gust,
in his Swedish accent, that
the students are simply too lazy.
He threatened to put up a sign
saying 'Please Don't Walk On The
Actually, says Eric, the grass
is hurt most in the Spring. If
campus chapelgoers continue to
take shortcuts after the winter
is over, the lawn will be ser-iously
affected. "If the kids want
the grounds to look like an ele-mentary
school playground,
that's all right with me," he
says. Our observer felt however,
that it was not all right with

have no doubt.
So far it's been up in the air pretty much. What must be done?
First of all, the students must assume the disciplinary function presently
executed by the dean of students office. In 1964, under the deanship of
Webster Muck, the discipline problem was offered to the students
via the Senate. After some consideration, the students turned the offer
That option is still open to the students. The administration looks
favorably upon such a set up. I think it would be a big step toward the
realization of student power if the Senate accepted this responsibility.
The court would consist of a student board with perhaps an advisor
from the dean's office as a non-voting member. The mechanics of
this set up could be ironed out by the Senate once we have agreed to
take on this function.
Some students have privately expressed to me apprehension about
partiality and leniency on the part of such a court. I think the record
will bear me out — the history of such boards on other campuses have
proven that peer courts are less lenient than administrative officers.
Not only that, but the incidents of poor behavior have sharply declined.
In talking with administrative leaders, I have sensed that they
are amenable to a new role for the students. There is a great deal of
slack rope which we can take in. Both Bob Holyer and Jim Hammar
have mentioned what some of these might be. There are many more
that simply need to be uncovered by aggressive, intense students.
Many students have stated that they do not want student power.
Student power is not necessarily something students should want, it is
something they ought to have. That must be clear.
This campus is yours, it is mine, it is molding your life and mine.
In the interests of our futures, and the future of the college, I
maintain that we must start becoming adults now. That necessitates
accepting responsibility—that is finally what student power is. Call
it what you will—but that is what we are advocating.
Paul states in his first letter to the Corinthians, "When I was a
child I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
But when I became a man I gave up my childish ways." Student power
has slaked itself out on this process, we invite you to join us in this
effort to realize maturity on a campus wide basis.

"Student Power is a national movement to gain more democratic
self-government for students. The National Student Association has
defined it as a movement to gain control of policy making which affects
student curricular and extra-curricular activities. Students should have
exclusive control of the following areas:
1. registration, chartering, and regulation of student organizations
and activities
2. student government and student activities financing
3. regulation of cultural programming
4. determination of dormitory hours and visitation policies
5. establishment of any housing regulations
6. establishment of any social or recreational regulations
7. all disciplinary decisions regarding the violation of student regula-tions
Further, students should have joint control in the determination of
administrative and educational policies such as:
1. course requirements
2. academic calendar
3. admissions policies
4. financial aid policies
5. building and grounds planning
6. any and all college services (e.g. bookstore, food service)
7. hiring and dismissal of faculty and administrative personnel
8. grading systems and appeals on grades
"The present position of Bethel's Student Senate is that of an ex-tensive
service organization. Money is appropriated by the administra-tion
for disbursement by the Senate to Clarion, Spire, Coeval, WBCS,
and events such as Homecoming, etc.
"The Senate does not function as a regulation making body. However,
the possibilities for taking responsibility are open if students show
that they are interested in control. For example, more representation
on faculty committees could be acquired by seeking it out and showing
a concern for the policies that are being made.
"And the possibilities of establishing a student judiciary in con-nection
with the dean's office are wide open. Bethel students can have
the power of responsibility and the responsibility of power if they
want it."

The cantata, by this contemp-orary
French composer, is written
for orchestra, organ, children's
choir, and baritone solo, and con-sists
of an interweaving of Christ-mas
carols in the Latin, French,
and German languages.
Dan, who is president of Beth-el's
Male Chorus, performed two
solos in the cantata, one in Latin,
and the other in French. Some
parts of the work calling for a
children's choir were sung by Miss
Carolyn Bailey, a locally recog-nized

Week-end Trip Rewarding

All things so far point to a fine season for this year's
Junior Varsity basketball team. Although starting on a losing
note, the boys have come back with two straight victories.
The future looks bright!
This year's varsity squad proved that they are capable of
playing some fine basketball this year. Playing 'heads up'
ball both offensively and defensively, the Royals scored an
upset victory over the confident Augsburg ball club.
Earlier in the week, Augsburg's coach, Ernie Anderson,
called Royal coach Jack Trager and asked to call off the Friday
game. 'Ole Ern' thought that his boys would 'walk all over us'
and didn't think the game would be worth the effort.
After receiving word of the call, the Royals went out to
prove that Augsburg's coach was all wet. As the score shows,
Bethel did a pretty convincing lob. It seems that Augsburg
did the inhaling.
Sioux Falls guard, Ron Kraal, number 11 in last Saturday
evening's ball game, made the Little All America Squad last
year for his near 30 point scoring average. Although he didn't
have one of his better nights last Saturday, canning only 23,
anyone with a little basketball `know-how' who was in the stands
could see his ability.
This week, Bethel will be playing two games here in the
Cities. Thursday night they will be at Hamline and Saturday
night they tackle Macalester. Both games start at 7:30 P.M.
Several of the fellows on the team have mentioned to me
how they appreciated the cheers from the crowd. The squad
members would encourage attendance at these up coming
`away' games.

Last Friday night, the Bethel
College Royals opened their home
basketball season with an impres-sive
94-84 victory over Augsburg
The players put on a fine dis-play
of endurance as they came
on strong in the second half to
overcome a 7-point deficit. Ron
Pederson played a fantastic ball
game, scoring 43 points and pull-ing
down many rebounds.
Tim Weko also got a good share
of rebounds and added fourteen
counters.. Dick Robertson played
a good offensive game, canning a
total of 19. Dan Larson and Bob
Brodin, both freshman, did a fine
job in their first varsity stints.
Dan was 7 for 7 from the free
throw line.
Augsburg had two men in dou-ble
figures. Roger Swanson and
Ron Nelson each had 18 counters.
However, Saturday night the
Royals ran into some thick flak
and fell victim to Sioux Falls by
the convincing score of 103-61.

Junior Varsity
Bethel's Junior Varsity Basket-ball
Squad is doing a sterling job
on the court this year. Thus far,
their record stands at two wins and
one loss. After losing to St. Cloud
over the Thanksgiving holidays,
the Royals have come back strong-ly
with wins over Augsburg and
St. Thomas.
Last Friday night the Royals
humbled Augsburg by a score of
92-67. Lowell Richardson, a fresh-man
from Sioux Falls, South Dak-ota,
led the scoring spree with 24
points. Freshman John Lundgren ;
from Omaha, Nebraska, netted a
total of 20.
Dan Larson led the squad in
counters during the second victory,
racking up a total of 15. Dean
Erickson and Richardson both scor-ed
14 with Lundgren adding 13.
Good scoring depth and adept
usage of the 'fast break' have been
the keys to these Royal victories.
In addition to the above players,

was a resounding defeat for the

In four years with the Cañon City Tigers, Nicole Decker was an impact basketball player.
Now, she's chosen where she'll continue her hoops career.
Lake Michigan College head coach Jason Cooper offered Decker a full ride, and after taking her visit she knew that was the place for her. Decker signed the letter of intent earlier this week at the Lake Michigan College campus in Benton Harbor, Mich.
"Everything about the school was perfect for me. Even though it's so far away it was just comfortable," Decker said. "We have a family environment on the team and the coach was super comforting. His mom is the assistant coach so it's a really close team."
Decker said she isn't too worried about going far away. She also looked at a college in New York, Austin College in Sherman, Texas, University of Dallas, Fort Lewis in Durango and Colorado State University-Pueblo.
Decker was a three-year starter for the Tigers and played quality minutes during her freshman year. This year she averaged 9.1 points per game. She led the team in assists with 3.1 per game, recorded the second most steals and was third in rebounding.
It wasn't necessarily those stats that drew Cooper to offering Decker a scholarship.
"She is basically the blueprint that we are looking for this program; an all-around good person, player with a great family," Cooper said. "On our visit, before she even stepped on the floor, I could tell that she was someone we were really interested in."
In the latest rankings, Lake Michigan sits 11th in the National Junior College Athletics Association. The finished this year with a 28-7 record and have made the postseason tournament in three of the last four years. Two years ago they were the national runners-up and spent some of this year ranked No. 1 in the country for Division II junior colleges.

On 27 November 2012, the IUCN Environmental Law Centre (ELC) convened a one day workshop on the "Legal Aspects of Connectivity Conservation" in Bonn, Germany. The purpose of the workshop was to present the results of a two year project entitled Protected areas law at the intersection of biodiversity conservation and climate change and particularly the conceptual work on the legal aspects of connectivity conservation.
Several years ago, the ELC initiated a major effort regarding the law of protected areas, and published jointly with the Protected Areas Programme and IUCN Commissions the updated Guidelines for Protected Areas legislation. These Guidelines provide a background of the technical, management and legal questions which are underpinning protected areas, as well as the generic elements of PA legislation and additional considerations regarding Marine Protected Areas and Transboundary Protected Areas.
Nevertheless in order to create PA systems which are sustainable, it is not sufficient to have an internally sound PA regime. Connectivity is needed. At least the needs for specific protective or management measures outside PAs become as important as those within them. But in this field, even more than in PA law itself, the law has been lagging behind. It is this situation that the project has been tackling and it resulted in the development of a concept paper on the legal aspects of connectivity conservation: its main purpose being to provide an overview of legal tools which can, and are, used in providing connectivity areas with a measure of legal protection. Five case studies to illustrate the Concept Paper were prepared, and will be available as an Annex to the main text. They either describe the legal mechanisms available to effect connectivity in specific jurisdictions (European Union, the Netherlands, Brazil), or explain the legal regime or tools used to create, maintain and manage specific connectivity conservation zones (Australia: Great Eastern Ranges (GER) conservation corridor; South Africa: The Greater Cedarberg Biodiversity Corridor).
The workshop provided an opportunity for the IUCN group of experts involved in the implementation of the project to meet with German, international, governmental and nongovernmental experts involved or interested in connectivity conservation work, to take stock of emerging results and consider future actions.
The concept paper on the "Legal Aspects of Connectivity Conservation" and the case studies will be available early next year.
For more information, please contact the ELC Secretariat.

Mississippi Republican Sen. Roger Wicker says he wants another term in the U.S. Senate to continue fighting bureaucracy and seeking ways to cut budgets and promote American energy.
His Democratic challenger, Albert Gore Jr., is campaigning on saving Social Security, protecting veterans' benefits and upholding the federal health care law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010.
Another candidate in the Senate race, the Constitution Party's Thomas Cramer, says he wants to limit the role of government.
All three are on the ballot next Tuesday, along with the Reform Party's Shawn O'Hara.
Wicker, Gore and Cramer were among the politicians speaking Wednesday at the Mississippi Economic Council's annual Hobnob.
Several hundred business people and government officials attended the social gathering at the Mississippi Agriculture Museum in Jackson.

IMHO the chmod documenation is fairly comprehensive.
"... The first element of the list must be the numeric mode, which should probably be an octal number, and which definitely should not be a string of octal digits: 0644 is okay, but "0644" is not. Returns the number of files successfully changed. See also oct if all you have is a string."
Note the link to oct, and the fact that the examples clearly show the leading zero. Then follows examples explaining the outcome of several ways of using chmod, including the outcome of using it
Update: Strike out mistake.

After early success with Jorvorskie Lane hulking into the line and picking up a couple of short-yardage first downs and even a TD, the Dolphins are officially struggling on short yardage runs of late.
They blew an opportunity to convert a third-and-1 Sunday. They've blown a couple of similar opportunities the previous two weeks.
So where is coach Joe Philbin's confidence when the team dials up a short-yardage run now?
"It's not very good," Philbin said Monday. "It's not very good. You look at the film, the film is not good to watch."
This says it all: After the Dolphins failed on a third-and-one run early Sunday, they faced three other third-and-one situations during the game. They passed on all of three.
The problem is there's a multitude of issues for the failures.
"It's a variety of things," Philbin said. "Sometimes penetration, sometimes read of the back, it's a combination thereof. Usually the things that affect runs are quick penetration and decisiveness running the ball or poor course or poor read. It's all those things. You throw on our tape for third-and-1 and you'll probably see all of that."
Philbin did not name names. But here's the issue on a personal level.
Daniel Thomas, at 228 pounds, is more a thoroughbred than a plowhorse. He's not really a move-the-pile on short yardage kind of guy -- at least he hasn't proven he is.
Reggie Bush isn't that guy either, although at 200 pounds, one wouldn't expect him to be.
Guard Richie Incognito and John Jerry along with center Mike Pouncey are fine when all is fair. But on third-and-one, the defense is expecting a run to attack the A-gap. The defense is stacked and ready. All is not fair. And when that has been the case, the Miami interior line hasn't consistently moved anyone backwards.
Well, how about wide runs?
That also hasn't been a solution because, well, Jonathan Martin needs to get a bit stronger and Jake Long doesn't seem as agile as he used to be. Also, the blocking out of Miami's tight ends has not been consistently good on such plays.
Lane, meanwhile, failed on a couple of attempts after showing promise early. Coaches have gone away from giving him the ball since those failures. The team did give him another opportunity on the first drive Sunday.
He failed.

Controversial jurist Robert Bork diesBy DAVID INGRAM
December 19. 2012 9:38PM
WASHINGTON - Robert Bork, an American symbol of conservative judicial activism who played pivotal roles in Washington dramas around the Supreme Court and Watergate and whose name became a verb, died on Wednesday at age 85.
Bork died in a northern Virginia hospital where he had been treated for an infection, said Leonard Leo, executive vice-president of the conservative Federalist Society.
Nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1987, Bork was rejected by the Democratic-led U.S. Senate over his conservative judicial philosophy. He became a potent symbol to conservatives.
"To bork" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2002 with the definition, "To defame or vilify (a person) systematically, especially in the mass media, usually with the aim of preventing his or her appointment to public office; to obstruct or thwart (a person) in this way."
"My name became a verb," Bork told CNN in 2005. "And I regard that as one form of immortality."
Bork was already known to Americans as a figure in the Watergate scandal - the man who carried out Richard Nixon's order to fire the special prosecutor in 1973's "Saturday Night Massacre" - when he was nominated to the Supreme Court.
Within 45 minutes of his nomination on July 1, 1987, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy took to the Senate floor to denounce him as a man who wanted to outlaw abortion, ban the teaching of evolution and revive racial segregation. Bork said not a line of the speech was accurate.
After a fierce confirmation fight, the Senate in October rejected Bork 58-42, the largest margin of defeat for any Supreme Court nominee and a big loss for Reagan.
Judicial conservative
Bork's judicial conservatism, and especially fears he might vote to overturn abortion rights, led liberal, civil rights and feminist groups to join ranks against him.
They charged that the burly, goateed Bork, then a federal judge, held views too extreme for the highest court. They warned he might cast the decisive vote to overturn the court's 1973 abortion rights decision and endanger anti-segregation rulings of the 1950s and 1960S, despite Bork's assurances he would not disturb "settled law."
His supporters saw a political witch hunt. In later court fights, they used memories of the Bork hearings to rally their conservative supporters.
On Wednesday, supporters remembered him as a pioneer in a school of constitutional thinking devoted to the text and original meaning of the Constitution.
Conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, in a statement released by the Federalist Society, called Bork one of the most influential legal scholars of the last 50 years.
Leo called Bork "one of our country's fiercest and most articulate defenders of the Constitution as it was written."
Like many other conservative justices - although more outspoken and in great recorded detail - Bork held that judges should interpret the law narrowly according to the "original intent" of the Constitution's framers rather than making new law, which they called judicial activism.
At his confirmation hearings, Bork's long record of writings and decisions as an active jurist made him vulnerable to attack. Among the most controversial were his views that the Constitution contained no generalized right to privacy nor unlimited authorization of free speech.

Houston firefighter gets 20 cases of thank you beer
Updated 8:44 am, Friday, January 17, 2014
It was a happy day over at Houston's Firefighter's association.
Firefighters took delivery of 20 cases of free beer on Thursday as a thank you to one of their own who put out a recent truck fire with cans of Coors.
Capt. Craig Moreau extinguished an 18-wheeler tire fire on Jan. 6 on Texas 71, near Austin.
Moreau said the fire was in danger of spreading to the entire truck and the tiny extinguisher from the cab was out of juice.
"I asked him what was in the truck and he said, 'It's beer, it's all beer,"' Moreau said.
"We started shaking and spraying the beer all over the place," he said. The fire was out in minutes.
Capt. Moreau has been overwhelmed with media requests since the incident, appearing on national radio and TV shows to tell his story.
The beer delivery was the icing on the cake.
"We just wanted to thank him for this and for all that he and his fellow firefighters do every day," said Homer Dawson, assistant brand manager for Coors. "Now they can enjoy our beer in the way it is intended to be used."

Obama Administration Tests the Waters With Ocean Power Startups 144
Stirfry192 sends this excerpt from an article discussing the Obama Administration's funding of renewable energy projects that are experimenting with hydrokinetics: "Currently, the Department of Energy has a mandate to spend $50 million a year on backing such research. For its part, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has approved 72 permits for pilot projects over the past two years , according to its records. Ocean Renewable Energy Power Company, LLC , which has plans to build the largest ocean-based system in the U.S., is one of the companies that has won such funding. ... Virtually all hydrokinetic turbines resemble giant manual lawnmowers, a design patented by Alexander Gorlov of Northeastern University in 2001. [CEO Chris Sauer] calls what his company uses an 'advance cross-flow' model, and he says each of his 150 kilowatt units could power 50 to 75 homes. ... The company plans to install one of its 150 kilowatt turbines this year, and four next year, anchoring them near the floor of the bay, and progressively build out to 3.2 megawatts by 2014. The system would tie into Bangor Hydro Electric Co. grid."

2010 Business Book Gift Guide: 10 Great Books to Give this Holiday Season
December 9, 2010 | By Tim Peter | No Comments
If you're anything like me, you struggle with two things:
- Knowing what gifts to give during the holidays; and,
- Finding great stuff to read
So, this year, the thinks team (that's me, myself, and I), got together and decided help you out with both challenges. These books are among the best ones I've read this year. And while they're not all, technically, business books, you – and those on your gift-giving lists – can learn valuable lessons from each. And, they're all enjoyable reads. Some, I've reviewed previously and, where applicable, have included a link to their review. And now, without further ado, here is The thinks 2010 Business Book Holiday Gift Guide:
- I've often mentioned my man-crush on John Jantsch. This year, he reciprocates by gifting us with "The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself". Excellent tips designed for small business owners, that anyone in business can apply to their work practices, too. Great stuff from a great writer.
- Innovation is one of those areas where we all want to improve, but where can you find good ideas for generating good ideas? Why, right here in "Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation" by Steven Johnson. Johnson breaks innovation down into 7 patterns you can put into practice to help nurture your good ideas into great ones.
- What's a business book round-up without Seth Godin? Well, not much of a business book round-up, for one thing. Fortunately, Seth came through again this year with "Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?". Building on Daniel Pink's explorations in "A Whole New Mind," Godin explains why we're all artists now – and why that matters. Time Magazine once said of Seth, "It's easy to see why people pay to hear what he has to say." "Linchpin" shows us once more.
- How we – and our customers – choose among the myriad options available to us each day makes for surprisingly entertaining, and enlightening, reading as seen in "The Art of Choosing" by Sheena Iyengar. About the only negative I can point to is that I now I'm wondering if this guide gives you too many choices. Hmm…
- Switching gears for a moment, no matter what choice you make, getting the people around you to embrace that choice, and the changes it entails, is an art unto itself. Fortunately, "Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard" by the remarkable Heath brothers, Chip and Dan, helps you help them through those changes. You can also read my full review of Chip and Dan Heath's "Switch" here.
- One of the most important changes you can make in your business is the one that differentiates you from your competition. Youngme Moon delivered an outstanding guide on how you can be different and escape the competitive herd with her book called, um, "Different: Escaping the Competitive Herd". You can also read my full review of "Different" here.
- Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson's "Rework" earns its brief title. It is a quick, interesting read that will help you rethink what you know about work. And, yes, you can read my full review of Rework, too.
- Behavioral economist Dan Ariely's "The Upside of Irrationality: The Unexpected Benefits of Defying Logic at Work and at Home" examines in detail how neither markets nor people are altogether rational and how you can sometimes put that irrationality to work for you. I've previously reviewed Ariely's "Predictably Irrational", and his new work is every bit as enjoyable and entertaining as the first.
- Here's a question for the ages: Where do the people who created Wikipedia find the time? I mean, seriously, who has that kind of time on their hands? Actually, it seems we all do. As pointed out in Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age
by Clay Shirky, there's a lot more mental energy lying around waiting to be harnessed than you'd think. Even better, Shirky offers great suggestions on how to put it to work for you.
- Finally, do you need to motivate your employees? Your kids? Yourself? Check out "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" by Daniel Pink. Pink looks deep into what makes people act and provides a clear toolkit you can use to improve both your motivations and those of the people around you. As I mentioned in my earlier review of "Drive", it's not a perfect book. But I got a lot out of it and expect you will, too.
Still want more? Don't forget to check out my list of the 12 most important business books of the last 10 years. And while these aren't business books, I also thoroughly enjoyed reading both "Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime"
by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin and "Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory" by Ben Macintyre this year. Entertaining, fascinating and frequently funny, both books look at the stresses and successes in two major projects (one, winning the presidency, the other, winning World War II). Great "light" reading if you want to step outside your own reality for bit.
I hope you enjoy your holidays, Big Thinkers. Take some time to curl up in front of a warm fire with one of these extraordinary reads – or share them with your team – and get ready for a very happy – and successful – New Year.

Four and a half hours.
That's how long it takes to get the smell of c-diff out of your nostrils after you have taken the patient upstairs.
The first two will be spent repeatedly checking your shoes, scrubs, stethoscope, etc, to make sure that you don't have any on you, because are sure that the smell is coming from something that you missed. After all, you spent five hours cleaning up massive quantities of slimy (yes, Mom, it really is slimy) poo every 30 minutes, it had to have gotten on you somewhere, right? Those gowns are only paper, after all.
But alas, it is coming from your own abused little olfactory cells. The cells that hate you now. The cells that will make everything you eat in that 4 1/2 hours taste like c-diff, too.
C-diff is a powerful little bug. Kinda like Slimer, from Ghostbusters.

Eagles tennis team on a roll to the state finals
Junior and team captain Alex Heilner smacks a return against Evan Mingo of Calais on his way to a 6-1, 6-2 win in a quarterfinal match played at home on May 31.
by Anne Berleant
The George Stevens Academy boys tennis team routed its opposition to earn a berth in the State finals. Saturday, June 8, they will play either Waynflete or North Yarmouth at the Bangor Tennis Center.
"We got pretty good depth compared to the teams we've played at this time," said coach Larry Gray.
Seeded #2 behind Madawaska in the Heal Point standings, the boys received a bye in the preliminary post-season match and earned home match advantage for the next two rounds, breezing past Calais in the quarterfinals on May 31 and Fort Kent in the semis held the next day.
Calais was missing its top player, Gray said, and didn't pose a big challenge for the Eagles, who won the match 5-0. First singles player Johnny Xue posted a 6-0, 6-0 win, as did second doubles team Leo Yuan and Nate Boechat.
The match against Fort Kent, who lost to the Eagles last year in the regional finals, was tougher, Gray said. But the results of 5-0 looked the same.
In fact, the team hasn't dropped an individual match since it lost 3-2 against Mount Desert Island on May 3. That was eight matches ago.
The team faced #1 seed Madawaska on June 5 in the regional finals, and won 4-1.
"If we can play to our level, we should beat them," said Gray, prior to the match. "I think we're stronger throughout. But you never know."
The girls team finished 10-2 for the season and were ranked fifth heading into the post season. They posted a 5-0 win in the prelims against Lee Academy, but lost 3-2 in the quarters against Piscataquis. Both doubles teams "won in pretty easy fashion," said coach Tim Farrar, but none of the three singles players could squeeze out a win—although senior Yi Zhang came close in a tight three setter (4-6, 6-3, 6-4).
"There was a lot of enthusiasm," Farrar said. "We had a very good season."

Looks like the Max Starks BS rumors to the Cardinals should officially end.
Cardinals sign OT Gandy to three-year deal
By Len Pasquarelli
Continuing their efforts to upgrade the pass protection for second-year quarterback Matt Leinart, the Arizona Cardinals on Monday signed unrestricted free agent offensive tackle Mike Gandy to a three-year contract.
Financial details of the deal for Gandy, who played the last two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, were not yet available.
Gandy, 28, was one of the few starting-caliber tackles still available in the free agency pool and his style should be a good fit for the blocking scheme that offensive line coach Russ Grimm will implement in his first season. Gandy joins former Dallas center Al Johnson, who is already projected as the Cardinals' starter, as offensive linemen added by Arizona during the free agency period.
It is still uncertain where Gandy will play in the revamped Cardinals line. First-year coach Ken Whisenhunt told ESPN.com last week that he has considered moving right tackle Oliver Ross to the left side to provide Leinart better front side protection. It's not known yet if the addition of Gandy might alter those plans.
A former Notre Dame standout, Gandy started all 16 games at left tackle for the Bills in 2005. He began the 2006 season as the starting left tackle. But he then moved to left guard halfway through the season when Buffalo switched right tackle Jason Peters, who the Bills feel will emerge as a Pro Bowl-level blocker, to left tackle.
Originally a third-round choice of the Bears in the 2001 draft, Gandy played four seasons in Chicago, appearing in 32 games and starting at right guard, left guard and left tackle. Gandy signed with the Bills as a free agent in 2005 and won the starting left tackle position with a strong training camp performance that summer.
Gandy is known as a solid technician who uses his hands well and who is fundamentally solid in his pass-blocking. The line has long been a problem area for an Arizona offense that features top-shelf skill-position players, and Whisenhunt has deemed it a priority to upgrade the unit.
