By Mike Curran
I have often wondered if the majority of mankind ever pauses to reflect upon the occasionally titanic significance of dreams, apparitions, strange phenomena, and of the obscure world to which they belong. I find most do not, for they, like me, are caught up in the conscious world of getting through the waking hours and making some sane sense of life. The easy way out is just to dismiss such metaphysical occurrences if they were to happen before your very eyes. Tuck them away in some dark hallway of your mind along with the other sealed and unmentionable happenings in your life. Don't speak to anyone of these things unless you would invite ridicule, mocking laughter or - even worse - seeing to it that your integrity becomes a casualty.
My name is Michael Curran and I am a writer of everyday, conscious-world events - a journalist, if you will. It is the only quasi-ability I seem to possess. Although my name is known to some of the readership of my newspaper, I am able for the most part, to move about the community in near anonymity. This suits me and is what I aspire to.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to write about paranormal activities in southern New Mexico and welcomed it as a respite from my usual assignments. I told the general manager of the Ruidoso News, Ross Barrett, "I will report the truth, as it is told to me, and not what I want to believe or think I see."
"That's what I want you to do," he replied.
Now, I will reveal to you that I have never seen a ghost, apparition, orb, UFO, or any other strange phenomena, which can be construed as otherworldly or inter-dimensional. However, I am open to the prospect in any case and try not to refute given beliefs unless I can definitely prove them incorrect. After all, wasn't it a scientist (Henri PoincarŽ, mathematician, physicist, astronomer, 1854-1912) who once said (in the 19th century) "Need I remind you that it is so that all important discoveries have been made."
The first article was to be on the mysterious reports and anecdotal stories of strange sightings pertaining to the isolated, played-out hamlet of White Oaks. Barrett, and his wife Beth, took care of the arrangements and scheduled a meeting at the No Scum Allowed Saloon, now owned by Marlon and Teresa Coffman.
On a typical late January, late Saturday afternoon, I made the trek from Ruidoso on Rt. 380 to Carrizozo. A right turn onto Rt. 54 and then a few non-eventful miles up the road to the right-turn onto State Road 349 put me on the byway towards White Oaks. This proved to be a lonely, desolate, two-lane, paved pathway to the intended meeting place. Now I was traveling in the lowlands between mountains - a sort of "bowl" to my eyes. Nothing passed me either way, save for the occasional, forlorn tumbleweeds, which periodically moved across the front of my vehicle on their solitary journey to who knows where?
I kept my mind on the conscious world and the writing assignment that was at hand. I believe now, in the end, and to my detriment, that was a too-narrow view.
Shortly before one arrives in White Oaks, going the paved way, the traveler will pass by the Cedarvale cemetery on the right-hand side of the highway. Resting peacefully (?) here are such luminaries as New Mexico's first governor (1911-15), William C. McDonald (died April 11, 1918), Susan McSween (Barber), of the Lincoln County Wars fame and Deputy Bell, who Billy the Kid killed during his Lincoln jailbreak. A walk through the cemetery proves the once-hard environment of the area. Many of the headstones are of people who died in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
Local resident and historian, Don Ward, who has studied the area in depth says, "White Oaks was discovered in 1879 (August) by Anglos. In the beginning, it was a tent city for about five years. About 1895, 1,200 people lived here mining gold. There was also a coalmine 1 1/2 miles away. In 1900 the town died out when the railroad chose not to come here but went to Carrizozo instead. In 1912, the town got a rebirth when a power plant was built here. It supplied power to Carrizozo, Nogal and up over into Parsons. But the plant burned down sometime in the 1930s.
According to Marlon Coffman, the dwelling first became a bar in the 1970s and its owner was Bud Crenshaw. At one point it was named the Cheyenne Social Club during that period.
Right before I pulled in to the No Scum Allowed Saloon, the Barrett's did likewise. They brought with them some of the latest paranormal-testing technology - a Zoom, for shooting high-definition video and possessing an EVP recorder (electronic voice phenomena). "This is a key pie___ce of equipment for this type of investigation," Beth Barrett explained. A K-II meter, which picks up EMF (electronic magnetic fields) signals, was included in the mix. "There are two theories to the K-II meter," Barrett said. "Dwellings with high EMF signals can cause nausea and hallucinations. Secondly, spirits are thought to feed off energy fluctuations. If possible, you should try to turn off all unnecessary electricity so you can establish a good baseline. A third technical piece of equipment - an IR camera - was with them, too. The infrared device has night-vision capabilities for obvious duties. A Ghost Box, which sweeps through AM and FM radio frequencies and attempts to pick up any abnormal or strange voices, was also included in the forthcoming investigations. Those were some, but not all, of the technologies used that night.
Before entering the well-known landmark, a cursory glance of the front of the building revealed its longevity. According to Marlon Coffman, the structure has been in White Oaks since 1898. First it was an attorney's office and then an assay office for the gold, silver and copper, which was being mined in the area and for which a tent city grew to a thriving town during its heyday.
I opened the old-time screen door, then the solid wood main door and entered. About eight or nine patrons sat talking in the bar area. I felt an air of history about the place. A smallish, well-used potbelly stove heated that area.
A narrow doorway opened out into a fairly large back room where a few more customers were seated along with six individuals from the Lincoln County Paranormal Society who were there doing technology-backed investigations, too.
I went about my task and began my interviews.
Marlon Coffman, the fifth owner of the saloon, proved to be hospitable and affable.
"There have been multiple strange sightings by some locals around here," he said. "Two visitors stepped out back of the saloon and saw orbs or lights floating down the ravine between the saloon and the old school house some 200-plus yards away. A few minutes later, when they came back into the saloon they reported what they saw in a matter-of-fact manner."
Visitors from Capitan and Lincoln have claimed to Coffman that they had seen the lights from where they lived through the mountains.
Coffman also reported, "Recently, the owner of the "Brown Building," a stone's throw to the west (towards Carrizozo), passed away. Before doing so he had been doing remodeling and repair work on the structure. Workers in the building told the owner of objects being 'mysteriously moved' without explanation.
"A previous team of paranormal investigators caught a woman's voice on a recorder in the rustic back room. It said, 'This is my bedroom.' I heard the recording."
Coffman's wife, Teresa, then subsequently added to the mystery with other reports.
"Betty, the wife of former owner Grady Stewart, was cleaning up the bar one night with another bartender and closing up," Teresa Coffman recounted. "They were the only two beings in the building - but not for long. They saw something move past the window. The door came open and they saw a man in a short-brimmed hat and overcoat standing there. Betty said to the figure, 'Can I help you?' Her co-worker said, 'Don't talk.'
The presence walked in front of the potbellied stove and stopped. He looked over at them and disintegrated before their very eyes."
Lest you might believe Teresa is given to flights of fancy, it is my belief she does not suffer from that affliction. Look into her eyes sometime, and tell me what you see. She claims to have seen a strange, unexplained light in the Cedarvale cemetery herself.
One evening, about four months ago, while in the bar area, by the stove, Teresa was having a conversation with a patron when she suddenly felt a firm tap on her left shoulder. She thought it was her husband and as she turned she said, "Marlon, don't interrupt me!"
By the time she had turned completely around she found there was nothing there. The customer she had been talking to - Mark Curtis Payne - said to her, "Well, you just had your first encounter."
Teresa believes that people really believe what they claim to have seen.
"They were genuine and adamant," she explained.
Reportedly, an apparition of a blonde-headed little girl has been seen inside and outside the white Victorian house, behind and to the right of the old school house, which was built in the 1890s by Benjamin Gumm, who owned lumber mills.
As for the schoolhouse, well, lights have claimed to have been seen moving across the row of five windows on the second floor. But that's nearly impossible as walls inside the building separate the rooms.
I finished my interviews by 7:30 p.m. and, feeling drained, decided to drive back to my home in Ruidoso. As I reversed my original path there, I was guided by the full moon of that evening, which made the journey even more memorable. Upon my arrival I felt drained and took - almost immediately - to my bed for the night.
And now, I must recount to you what then happened - realizing full well that by doing so I could jeopardize my current position and create a natural doubt as to the authenticity of my attempted, honest narrative.
During the night, I suffered the two-worst nightmares I have realized while living in New Mexico. They were vivid and horror-filled. I awoke three times to seek sanity. Decades ago I was afflicted with dark intrusions into my unconscious mind from real-life events. After a fitful period of time they subsided and I felt they were behind me - far behind.
When the morning thankfully came, I arose and went to the living room to have tea and hopefully regain my composure. I had a pounding headache and a case of irregular anxiety. Neither is normal for me.
I felt the necessity to reach out to someone who would understand and so I called a valued friend in the Northeast who is learned in these matters and quite well known in certain circles. I told him an abridged story of what happened the night before. Not knowing much about the specifics he told me immediately, "You were too focused on your interviews and, naturally, did not pick up on what was going on around you. And you didn't do what I suggested you do before you began, did you?"
"No, I'm sorry, I forgot," I sheepishly answered.
"Well, what happened, I feel Michael, is that there were four beings there, most likely flesh and blood, that invite negative energy. Some of that permeated to you and it was brought home with you. Next time, please do as I originally suggested. It should prove useful."
My friend then advised me how to rid myself of the malaise of melancholy I was experiencing. Sunday night I slept well.
So, was it as my friend implied, rather, was I affected by the full moon or was it coincidence and an isolated incident? I leave that to you.
Days later it was reported to me by Ross and Beth Barrett that they had picked up some interesting audio bits. I went to their house to actually hear them. The Zoom instrument picked up what could sound like a mine tool - a pick for instance - striking rock? The EVP, at about 1 a.m. recorded a feint voice, which Beth thinks, could sound like the word "demonic." Being a good investigator though, she can't be sure if someone nearby was whispering or was it really a residual sound from the past from a being not actually trying to communicate - a loop in time? She can't be sure - this time.
"We couldn't really conduct a fully professional investigation because of human distractions," she said. "A scientifically controlled environment is needed to prove or disprove a haunting. We picked up readings on two instruments but it is not considered ideal unless three-such devices record something in the same period of time. And so we can't say the area is truly haunted. But there are many stories to that effect here. Additionally - from the death records I have seen - there were killings by shooting, stabbing and poisoning. One person was crushed to death by a rock, as well as deaths caused by tonsillitis, indigestion and brain fever. Many infant deaths under the age of 1-year-old are listed. The causes of their passing were not listed."
And for now, the White Oaks area must remain as eerily spooky but not yet proven to be inhabited by ghosts or spirits. But one thing I fully believe - mystery attracts mystery.
Do you have something unusual going on in your home or business?

In her book Is Breast Best? Taking on the Breastfeeding Experts and the New High Stakes of Motherhood (New York University Press, 2010), Joan Wolf makes some points that resonate with me. I too find myself frustrated when we treat breastfeeding as a magic potion that confers magical properties to both the mother and baby. And I get angry when we tell new mothers "breast is best" and send them out in the world to solve breastfeeding issues on their own without much community support. (I'll note here that we are making strides in this regard with the Affordable Care Act, the Business Case for Breastfeeding, the IRS decision to allow pre-tax dollars for breast pumps and other programs which, by their very creation and enactment, acknowledge that the community needs to help new mothers. But given book deadlines, the author may not have heard about all the good work that's being done to remove these booby traps in time for publication.)
My concern is with how she addresses this pressure on the individual breastfeeding mother and lack of community support. And that's because she heads in a direction we see all too often: the book devalues breastfeeding itself. Wolf concludes that the science supporting breastfeeding as being better than formula feeding is itself problematic and that in the "overwhelming majority of cases, either breastfeeding or formula feeding is a healthy option."
The author argues that the consensus about the importance of breastfeeding is clear but hyperbolic and the science is sticky. Since randomized controlled studies can not be done to determine what effect breastfeeding may have (since randomizing a child to not breastfeed is unethical) we are left with observational studies. These observational studies can show correlation but not causation and therefore are inherently problematic.
In addition, observational studies showing the benefits of breastfeeding are marred by confounders, the most important of which, Wolf contends, is the inability to distinguish the benefits of breastfeeding itself from "a comprehensive commitment to healthy living that itself is likely to have a positive impact on children's health." So might it be, then, that the careful hygiene that a mother who chooses to breastfeed would practice that makes the difference and not the breastmilk itself?
She has no data to support that as a confounder: we do not know, as she suggests, that breastfeeding mothers wash their hands more or keep their children away from large crowds. But it is the theme to which she returns most frequently: the mothering technique of the breastfeeding mother is what counts, not the breastmilk. If mothers who fed formula to their babies just behaved as breastfeeding mothers do, we'd see the same benefits for those children. This can be so, since "science has not shown us how breastmilk works to protect a baby or promote health." Therefore, without showing the causality between breastmilk and its purported benefits, we can ignore the observational evidence and conclude that breastfeeding has no real benefit to the developing world.
She also questions why feminists haven't paid attention to the "all encompassing physical and emotional commitment from mothers" that choose to breastfeed, emphasizing the individual personal responsibility involved and the implied need to raise a child in a risk-free environment. She says the book is "an expose of motherhood and the collective fantasy that mothers can and should produce perfect children." As to this last point, she shares many examples, but no data.
In order to evaluate Wolf's premise that the science is problematic, we have to understand observational studies. Observational studies help generate or test a hypothesis. In these studies, groups with a certain risk factor are compared to those without the risk factor and then followed prospectively or retrospectively to find out whether or not the outcome of interest (disease, developmental outcome…) occurred.
And there's the rub. Lactation is not a risk factor. It's a physiologic process. And it's hardly incumbent that those proposing to stick with physiology prove why we'd want to do such thing. Lactation is physiologic. It starts during pregnancy and continues after birth, on purpose. The risk factor is whatever is going to interfere with physiology. And if we choose to interfere with physiology, then the research question is not "does breastfeeding provide benefits?" but is "does the intervention cause harm?"
My hope is that the motivation for any book like this would be similar to the motivation we all share: to make sure that infant feeding decisions are informed; to support the mother in attaining her goals for her child; to engage the community to help her along that journey. A mother who has chosen to breastfeed needs our support. Devaluing the process of breastfeeding, attacking the science or the physiology, doesn't make that decision less important to that mother.

Health from Jake Arrieta
Arrieta, coming off surgery to remove a bone spur from his throwing elbow, said he feels like a totally different pitcher. The righty feels healthy for the first time in a long time — he said he pitched with the spur throughout a season that he began with a 9-4 record (he finished 10-8). The Orioles are short on experience in their rotation, and even though Arrieta, 25, has just 40 major league starts to his name, it will be interesting to see him as a "full-go." If all goes well, he could not only make the rotation, but could be a top-of-the-rotation starter.

Spring was already popping up in the Shoppe this past show and really kept us hopping! But, total craziness is the phrase that best describes the atmosphere of our first ever warehouse sale!!
Hundreds of you shopped the sale during your visit to the Shoppe and our little yellow building was buzzing! Over a hundred people were lined up when we opened at 9am on Saturday morning.....the turnout was positively overwhelming and beyond anything we ever expected! Thank you!
First time visitors Shawn and Natasha heard about us from friend who planned on coming with them, but had to miss because her husband was sick.
As much as they missed their friend, Shawn and Natasha admitted that it all worked out for the best---because there simply would not have been enough room their friend AND all of the treasures they found! In fact, they were barely able to close their SUV doors!
After they finished up at the warehouse sale, Shawn and Natasha visited us at The Shoppe to say, "hello" and to get a first glimpse of the store. It was such a pleasure meeting both of you sweet ladies. We hope to see you again next month, with your friend in tow!
Another group of wonderful ladies noticed the warehouse sale when they were making their inaugural visit to LaurieAnna's. Betsy, Emily and Callie were all on hand to give beautiful Kaitlin (age 3) some shopping tips! We hope you all enjoyed your first visit and will come back very soon!
And we always, always love seeing our returning customers, like precious Chanel and her sweet human, Audra. They have been friends of LaurieAnna's for over three years, and it's such a joy to see them at The Shoppe on a regular basis. In fact, I have been known to 'babysit' Chanel while Audra does a little shopping! :-))
To the hundreds and hundreds of you who stopped in, we can't thank you enough for making our February show such a success---and so incredibly fun! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of the maiden voyage of our wild and whimsical event! We will definitely do it again this summer!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The University of Louisville football team enjoyed one of its finest seasons on the field, but also saw tremendous success off it, as nine of its current players and three other football attended graduation ceremonies on Friday.
After a 10-2 season this year, head coach Charlie Strong attended graduation ceremonies to see current and former players earn their degrees.
Center Mario Benavides (Marketing), linebacker Daniel Brown (Communications), cornerback Adrian Bushell (Criminal Justice), cornerback Zed Evans (Criminal Justice), defensive tackle Roy Philon (Criminal Justice), wide receiver Andrell Smith (Criminal Justice), safety Hakeem Smith (Sports Administration), cornerback Titus Teague (Commuications) and running back Jeremy Wright (Health and Human Performance/Exercise Science) are all members of the 2012 team who earned degrees.
Josh Bleser, a punter on the 2011 squad, and wide receiver Doug Beaumont, a wide receiver on the 2011 team, also earned their degrees. Both players played under Strong.
Renardo Foster, who graduated through the Houston/Bridgeman Fellows Degree Completion Program, was a tackle for the Cardinals from 2003-06 and was on the Orange Bowl squad. Foster spent four years in the National Football League. He had stints with the Atlanta Falcons, St. Louis Rams and New Orleans Saints.

"I'm very proud of it, but I
don't think I'm deserving of it,"
Herbert J. "Robbie" Robertson
said in response to having the
Robertson Physical Education
Center named after himself.
Robertson has given money to
help finance construction of both
the LRC and FA building addi-tions,
and has also donated
toward purchase of Fountain Ter-race
"I was very impressed with
Bethel College, and with the
students, faculty and staff,"
Robertson said. "I first heard
about Bethel in the early twenties,
when my brother went there for a
term. I also have neighbor friends
who have gone to Bethel."
Robertson retired five years
ago, after working 25 years as the
director of the First National
Bank of Little Falls, Minnesota.
He is 85 years old.
Growing up on a farm near
Olivia, Minnesota, Robertson
entered the Univesity of Min-nesota
in the fall of 1916. His
freshman year was cut short, he
said, because "classes were
dismissed before the end of the
spring term in 1917, when the
U.S. entered WW I."
"They wouldn't let me enlist
because I operated a farm. They
told me that 'food will win the

after the war, in the fall of 1919.
He graduated from the University
of Minnesota in 1922, with a

Robertson has been actively in-volved
in athletics during his life,
which is part of the reason why
the Physical Education Center
was named after him. While in
college, he was the middleweight
wrestling champion of the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in 1916. He also
participated in gymnastics and let-tered
in baseball.
After graduating from college,
Robertson played semi-pro
baseball, and then taught physical
training and agriculture at the
high school in Olivia, Minnesota.
While teaching, he_was active in
sports and coached wrestling,

also coached the debate team.
After teaching school for 81/2
years, Robertson became clerk of

"I sold about three or four thou-sand
marriage licenses during the
16 years I worked there."
Robertson has been married for
55 years, but "we weren't blessed
with any children," he said.
Robertson keeps up with
athletics at Bethel and at his alma
mater. "I've had season tickets
for University football games for
55 years," he said. "I try to sit at
the 50-yard line at the games, and
I'm usually able to sit somewhere
between the 45- and 50-yard lines.
Vice-president Waler Mondale
heads the list of speakers being
sought for the Christian
Discipleship Coalition's World
Hunger Conference, scheduled
for April 18-19, 1980, at Bethel.
According to CDC member
Becky Dye, a prime motivator
behind the conference, Mondale is
the ideal keynote speaker because
of his familiarity with the world
hunger issue, his knowlege of US
foreign policy, and his drawing
power, which would greatly help
the conference.
The conference, to be held on
Friday evening and all day Satur-day,
will feature several plenaries
led by prominent speakers, a
hunger-awareness banquet and an
assortment of workshops.
The leaders of the conference,
largely Bethel students, plan for
an attendance of 800. Aside from
Mondale, Ron Sider, author of
"Rich Christians in a Hungry
World," Art Simon, founder of
Bread for the World, Virgil Olson
from the BGC, Minnesota politi-cians
Donald Fraser and Richard
Nolan, US Senator Dave
Durenberger, and former Senator
Mark Hatfield have been invited
to speak.
Besides plenary speakers, CDC
Robertson still lives in Olivia,
Minnesota, and supervises his
farms. The octogenarian said that
"the saddest part about growing
old is that you lose your friends."
hopes to recruit professors from
Bethel and other local schools to
lead workshops on Saturday.
A tentative schedule shows
registration on Friday, at a $5 to
$10 fee, followed by a plenary
with Ron Sider or Art Simon.
Saturday begins with workshops,
a plenary and a luncheon featur-ing
alternative sources of protein.
After lunch the CDC hopes to
hold a plenary, another session of
workshops and a hunger-awareness
banquet with a keynote
address by Vice-president Mon-dale.
Dye said the CDC hopes to
cover most costs with the registra-tion
fee, but still needs to raise
about $3000.
"Because the Baptist General
Conference has indicated world
hunger as a focus, and even set
aside money for it," said Dye,
"we hope they'll support us."
Dye is confident that the sup-port
will be raised and that
speakers will accept the invita-tions.
Mondale, she said should be
willing because of the campaign
exposure and his interest in the
issue. CDC is prepared to pay $50
to $100 to each speaker.
The conference will maintain a
Christian emphasis, focusing on
"Bethel is doing a wonderful
job," he said. "I would like to see
Bethel Colleges in every state, and
eventually in every corner of the
Christian responsibilities and the
Christian mandate, said Dye.
CDC leaders aim for two main
audiences—the Bethel community
and the larger evangelical com-munity,
specifically involving the
Baptist General Conference.
According to a CDC statement,
the purpose of the conference is
five-fold: "1) to create an aware-ness
and sensitivity to the problem
of world hunger,
"2) to present and promote
alternate styles of life that aid in
alleviating world hunger,
"3) to present the political and
economic responses that are
helpful in combating world
hunger and to encourage par-ticipation
in these responses,
"4) to examine the ways we
unknowingly promote the ravages
of world hunger, and
"5) to explore the Christian
responsibility and mandate to res-pond
to this tremendous need."
Though success in the under-taking
is not assured, and none of
the speakers has yet accepted the
invitation, Dye remains confident
that the issue and content are im-portant
enough, even without the
drawing-card names of Mondale
and Sider.
"It would turn out just as well
if only Virgil Olson and Don
Fraser could come," she said.

CDC conference plans
needs prayer support
The dream of the Christian Discipleship Coalition to hold a major
conference on world hunger is an admirable one and deserves the sup-port
of the student body and the Baptist General Conference.
Whether the big-name speakers can be convinced to appear at Bethel
for small royalties remains to be seen, but the immensity of the world
hunger problem and the ignorance of most middle-class Americans de-mands
attention. The conference aims to inform people of the problem
and relate solutions and areas of involvement.
Some think the selection of Mondale, Durenberger and Fraser seems
to bring too much politics into the issue, but the majority of the plans
seem well-planned and considered.
We encourage those approached for financial support to help in any
way possible. We also encourage students to offer support through at-tendance
and prayer. The registration begins in February or May.
We commend CDC leaders for their concern, dedication and fore-sight,
and wish them well in the undertaking.
Litter inexcusable,
irritates janitors
The cartoon at right symbolizes a stereotypical Bethel student in the
eyes of many who clean up after him. The much-maligned maintenance
department at Bethel has recently protested the personal trash habits of
all students.
Because of trash-filled classrooms, grubby lounges and coffee-stained
carpets and furniture, the department in charge of cleaning hopes to
have the presence of food limited to certain areas of the college.
Though this type of action will not solve the problem, the situation
that prompted it deserves comment.
When 2000 people congregate in a small area, there is bound to be
some debris, and it is maintenance department's job to clean it up. The
cleaners are servants in an unglamorous job. But the student body has
no right to take advantage of these servants.
Our attitude should be one of servanthood as well. Leavig trash in a
lounge, in a classroom or in the parking lots for someone else to pick up
takes unfair advantage of the cleaners. We also need to maintain a
respect for the furnishings and other properties, without an "I pay tui-tion"
Before the situation necessarily needs policing, the students should
police themselves.

by your editorial of October 5,
First, I must agree that certain
songs indeed wear themselves out,
and should be retired for a time.
Most songleaders are duly aware
of this fact and equally as open to
revising their repertoire.
However, I am grieved that the
current Clarion staff has failed to
fulfill their obligation to uphold
the integrity and fairness in their
journalistic practices.
In recent years the Clarion has
been committed to substantiating
editorials—whether opinionated
or otherwise—with appropriate
inquiry and research. A brief
word with those in the Campus
Ministries office would have no
doubt been sufficient to deter the
use of the huggin' song in upcom-ing
sing and shares.
Yet, at the risk of personal in-sult
to those few who have been
asked to partake in the worship of
our Lord through song, the
Clarion has printed an editorial
which, by the nature of the tone
with which the editorial was writ-ten,
was clearly directed not at the
welfare and common good of the
Bethel community, but to the de-gradation
of a select few—the
And the sad note lies in the fact
that the staff openly admitted the
lack of any moral, ethical or re-ligious
grounds for their opin-ion—
the first responsibility of any
newspaper, especially one repre-senting
a Christian voice.
Yes, my disappointment and
hurt are very deep.

Tim Steele, captain of the foot-ball
cheerleader's squad, looks at
the venture with enthusiasm.
After several futile attempts in re-cent
years to reinstate the cheer-leading
squads, this year's group
is determined.
"We're very concerned about
getting enthusiasm," said Tim.
They can't give a reason why
other efforts failed but they say
they won't go down.
Tim, Linda Hallblade, captain
of the soccer squad, and Joan
Correll, faculty advisor, are work-ing
hard to set up a varsity squad.
"Right now we are listed as a
club, but we want to obtain varsi-ty
status so that we will be listed as
a sport," said Tim.
"We have been working in
cooperation with the deans and
George Henry, athletic director,
to get through all of the red tape.
We need to raise financial support
and also reimburse the members
of the squads for the
materials—including their outfits
they have bought," Tim said.
"We already received some funds
from student senate."
"All of the women are enthu-siastic
about the prospect of
cheering. The men are all working
their way in too, learning how to
fit themselves into the cheering
strategy," he said
Fan remarks
To the editor:
I was injured two weeks ago
and had the unfortunate ex-perience
of having to sit in the
spectator stands while we played the
St. John's football team. I was ap-palled
by the type of language us-ed
by our spectators.
Many, I'm sorry to say, were
parents and relatives of our play-ers.
There were some derogatory
comments directed to the coaches
and even at the players themselves
when apparent mistakes were
I don't think that is what Christ
had in mind when he commented
us to witness to other people.
As a member of the team, a
group of individuals who care
about one another when we make
mistakes or get .injured, I am
grateful for the unity of the team
and the ability to show those
around us that we live for the
Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that
others might see that in us.
Walking in his light,
Arthur Gibbens
Because of what happened in
the last three years when the idea
of cheerleaders was proposed, this
group has to start all over. "We
can't follow in their footsteps, so
we have to do a lot of learning,"
Tim said. "We don't want to get
outshouted this time."
Tim said that they are trying to
be especially careful about their
attitudes. " 'Hey, I'm a
cheerleader, look at me.' is not the
attitude that we want to take on.
We are not trying to present the
typical cheerleader image. We are
more of a yell team," Tim com-mented.
Their whole objective is to get
the students behind the teams and
get the teams psyched up. Since
they are representing a Christian
school they have recognized the
fact that certain cheers can't be us-ed.
"We are screening all of our
cheers to see how they come off to
students and other teams," said
So far the response of students
to the cheerleaders has been good.
Tim said that, "Cheers that get
students `rowdied' up are good.
We want to get people involved."
Knowing that the connotations
for a cheerleader are pretty bad,
Tim stressed that they are not
"cheerleaders," but rather,
"CHEER leaders."
Bethel's athletic teams welcome
the return of a strong cheerleading
squad this year.
"Eighty-percent of football is a
mental attitude. Everyone has
somewhat of an ego, and needs
support, if it is in athletics or
not," said Steve Payne, assistant
football coach.
"Cheerleading has a negative
stigma attached to it, which isn't
fair to the women," he went on.
He says that cheerleading is a big
part of athletics, and the rest of
the school shouldn't put it down.
Steve Johnson, assistant foot-ball
coach, feels that Bethel has no
spirit, and that the players need to
feel that someone is behind them.
He said, "It is great that the
women are willing to put time in
cheering for the teams."
One football player said that
the stands are much noisier this
year, and it's good to hear the
crowd yelling for you.
Shirley Dawson, women's
cross-country coach, is hoping
that the cheerleaders will support
all athletics, and not just the ma-jor
"The cross-country team would
like support in the way of recogni-tion;
it is a forgotten sport," said
a member of the men's cross-country
Basketball coach George Palke
is all for the cheerleaders. He
would like to see six women and
six men as cheerleaders for the
basketball team, and would also
like to see a pep band formed.
"They are doing a super job, and
I hope they keep it up," said

he is glad that he ran. He said he is
excited to represent and be open

Jarabeck said he felt bad that
more people did not get involved

more people to become involved

Bereshith, Antigone to be presented in repertory
by Juan Ramos
This fall playgoers at Bethel
College can see two different plays
on two consecutive nights because
of a change in the theatre arts de-partment
to a repertory system of
performances. This will give stu-dents
a chance to see a play on Fri-day
and a different play on Satur-day.
"When you're talking about
running a show in repertory,
you're talking about having more
than one play running -at the same
time," said Doug Briggs, chair-man

A Ukranian chorus, DNIPRO,
will be in concert at Bethel for
"some ethnic music on campus,"
according to Oliver Mogck, music
department chairman.
The music department, student
senate and campus coordinators
have co-sponsored the concert
with "DNIPRO," Bethel has tried
for several years to get the local
group, said Mogck.
The chorus, under the direction
of Mr. Mykola Bryn since its or-ganization
in 1958, features
Ukrainian folk songs, as well as
sacred music. The group exists to
bring Ukrainian music to Ukrai-nians
away from their homeland,
and to introduce Americans to the
beauty of Ukrainian music.
The chorus consists of men and
women of all ages and occupa-tions.
Because of employment and
school committments, the group
travels mainly on weekends. As a
Performances, however, will
vary and will not run exactly on
alternating nights, but both plays
are running during the same
period from mid-October through
mid-November. In previous years
one play was performed during
October and a second play fol-lowed
in November.
Briggs noted that there are two
reasons for this change. The first
reason is practical. Because of a
change in this year's academic ca-lendar,
classes began later in Sep-tember
than in previous years.

With this change the theatre
arts department was set back
about a week which would push
performance dates past Thanks-giving
and possibly into the month
of December. This would conflict
with "The Festival of
Christmas," as well as put aca-demic
strain on the actors and ac-tresses.
"So in order to get two
plays in, we really had to run them
both at the same time," said
The second reason is education-al.
Repertory theatre is rapidly
becoming the standard, especially
in regional theatres like the Gu-thrie
Theatre in Minneapolis. The
experience that Bethel theatre ma-jors
would gain through this sys-tem
would be to their advantage if
they chose to pursue a career in
regional theatre.

In 'an exhibition exploring the
fine line between reality and illu-sion,
Jud Nelson, a former Bethel
student, displays his works at the
Walker Art Center through
November 18, 1979.
Nelson, along with seven other
artists, exhibits work involved in
the psychology of perception—
how we see—as in representing
what we see.
Briggs is confident that re-pertory
theatere will challenge
both the student actors and tech-nicians
in the department. It will
give them the opportunity to deal
with the problems that the reper-tory
idea presents.
One problem would be the
changes that the stage will go
through as the plays alternate
from night to night. Theatre ma-jors
interested in set design and
the technical aspects of produc-tion
will have the opportunity to
be more creative and flexible.
One advantage to the actors in
this semester's productions is that
the performance schedule will not
as grueling as in previous years,
because the performances will be
more evenly spaced. Tuesday
night performances have been
eliminated for this fall and actors
"Transformed by placefnent in
unexpected situations or through
radical changes in color, scale or

information at the Walker.

The Styrofoam shoe sculpture is part of Nelson's Walker
cont. from p. 4
"I had to invent all the means
for making these sculptures," he
said. "I would look at it, see
everything that I could and then
do it," he added.
Asked why he used Styrofoam
for most of his sculptures he said,
"I wanted to use a material that is
inert. Styrofoam is 'dumb.' It
does what I want it to."
Nelson said that with each item
in a series he became more aware
of the object. The sculptures
would go from "straight and
stiff" to "smooth and flowing."

Endgame, written by Samuel

smaller objects so that he can con-centrate

the actual object. "All of these
elements—surface, texture,
weight, etc. go into the
sculpture," Nelson commented.

The first "person" seen on

servant who provides most of the
action in the play.
Although he hates all the others

For some reason, he is unable to
sit down.
Hamm is next to appear. He is
blind, hates everyone, and is also
in constant pain. He, however, is
unable to stand up. Hamm seems
to be in charge of this strange lot,

right away and becomes a huge
rag doll that is thrown in a heap to
the rear of the stage.
The play speaks about life as an
endless stream of habits and

as not to contemplate his true be-ing.
Endgame also speaks about
many ordinary telationships:
parent to child, father to son,
master to servant, etc...
Of course, it also speaks about
God and religion.

recently developed a no-miss
weight loss program for cof-feeshop

your favorite source of calories
while watching "Barney Miller,"
guilt-free. Simply follow these few
diet stipulations for gleeful, near-painless
reduction; watch unneed-ed
pounds roll away.
1. Consume, religiously, a daily
3-4 pounds of meat, any variety,
or an equivalent portion of
macaroni, care package cookies,
Haagen Daaz Black Walnut ice
cream, or Sarah Lee coffee cake.
2. Drink plenty of liquids, • at
least 12 ounces of Coke, with
every meal.
3. Complete each day's satsify-ing
menu plan with a nutritious
midnight "stomach settler" of
salami, mayonnaise, cheese, and
French roll (tomato and lettuce
4. Follow immediately with a
cool Dieter's-Helper "Shake" of
whipped egg yolks, baking soda,
and a generous spoonful of
Should you care to add variety
to this tasty plan, intersperse your
diet schedule with the All The
Eggplant And Spinach You Can
Eat regime. Stay strictly on this
program for 6 months.
Exercise will be unnecessary,
but for additional "toning" read
and follow the detailed, illustrated
booklet entitled "US Marine's
Guide to Ultimate Physical En-durance"
(available at your local
recruiter station). The "Chicken
Fat" routine, done 15 times daily,
rapidly, will work the same ef-fects.
For the really determined
dieter, the following tips are also
recommended for appetite loss.
Memorize the features of a
"Before" Ayds model.
Contemplate your GPA.
Clean the bathroom.
Promise yourself you won't eat
a thing until you've memorized

Royals drop three
against sole win
by Carol Madison
The women's volleyball team
suffered a rash of losses against
one win last week to put their
record at 3-4 in seasonal play.
Two of those losses came on the
same night against Winona State
and St. Mary's. Bethel was
defeated by Winona 15-12, 13-15,
2-15, and 8-15 in what Coach
Karyl Frye considered to be a well
played match.
"We played so well in the first
two games," she said. "We were
able to control the game for the
most part, but then in the third
game everything fell apaft and we
couldn't quite catch up."
St. Mary's then stepped on the
court to face Bethel, and once
again the Royals lost, 11-15, 7-15,
and 7-15.

different game," said Frye. "It
seemed like we expended all our
effort in the first match, and
didn't have enough for the se-cond."
The junior varisty also lost to
St. Mary's and Winona, but the
13-15, 15-13, and 8-15 loss to
Winona was described by Frye as
the "best match of the season."
"Even though they lost, it was
an exceptional game," she said.
"Julie Pflepsen played excellent
ball from the net, and everyone
was moving and recovering well."
Both varsity and JV took mat-ches
from College of St. Theresa
the following night. The varsity
won a decisive match 15-8, 15-5,
and 15-14, while the JV won in
two games, 15-3 and 15-7.

- After five days to recover from
a hectic week of Homecoming
happenings, it's time to get back
into the swing of some action on
the weekend. We have some ac-tivities
planned that you will enjoy
more than anything else.
Bethel's varsity lost to Concordia-
St. Paul 10-15, 1-15, 15-5, and
"Our passing was inconsistent
and hesitant," said Frye, "which
was our biggest problem. Deb
Olmath set well, and was the only
consistent player the whole time.
The rest had ups and downs
throughout the match."
"We're still above 80 percent in
our serving, which is very strong
and to our advantage," she add-ed.
"I'd like to see harder and
more accurate hitting and more
consistency in our passing."
The junior varsity downed Con-cordia
15-9, 14-16, and 15-9 in a
good team effort.

At some point or another, nearly everyone has experienced those tiny, hard bumps of extremely rough, dry skin that can emerge on the upper arms, thighs, buttocks and other areas of the body – especially in the cold winter months; and those who have children may be surprised to find this condition on their babies or kids as well.
These annoying bumpy patches, commonly referred to as "chicken skin," are caused by an actual condition called keratosis pilaris (KP). KP is extremely common – it affects nearly 50 percent of the world's population – and even more so in kids, with 50 to 80 percent of all children affected. Yet most people with KP are unaware that not only is there a designated medical term for the condition, but that treatment exists.
Parents who notice KP on their kids need not be alarmed or think they did anything to cause it. Keratosis pilaris is actually hereditary, inherited as an autosomal dominant gene (similar to the brown vs. blue eye color phenomenon). All it takes is a single gene from either parent to find oneself with less than perfectly smooth skin. Parents of kids with KP may or may not have had the condition themselves in the past.
Although it may be aesthetically displeasing, KP is medically harmless. While it may become exaggerated at puberty, it frequently improves with age. Though it may not be able to be "cured," it is certainly controllable if you choose to treat it.
KP occurs because the process of keratinization (the formation of epidermal skin) is faulty. Surplus skin cells build up around individual hair follicles. Sometimes a hair is unable to reach the surface and becomes trapped beneath the debris. During puberty, this can trigger follicular acne.
Treating KP is all about smoothing away the bumps. Using dermatologist recommended therapy helps eliminate the bumps, improve skin texture, eliminate acne-causing plugs and improve overall appearance – getting rid of the "chicken skin" look.
DERMAdoctor's KP Duty is the first product specifically designed to treat this chronic skin condition, and it can safely be used on children over two years old as well as women who are pregnant. It is fragrance and dye free.
DERMAdoctor founder Audrey Kunin, M.D. has found that keratosis pilaris responds best to a multi-therapeutic approach. "In my experience single ingredient products or routines don't do nearly as well as combination therapy," she says. "So I sat down and tried to combine the best active agents into a single cream targeted at keratosis pilaris."
KP Duty combines high potency dermatologist strength glycolic acid and urea with green tea. The alpha hydroxy acid and urea work as a combination chemical exfoliant and humectant, eliminating bumps and softening the skin. Green tea contains EGCG to help fight the irritation that causes the formation of skin discoloration commonly seen in KP.
This is a great active moisturizer for dry skin concerns, no matter what your skin type.
Independent clinical trials showed that 94 percent of subjects with moderate to severe cases of keratosis pilaris had clinical improvement after using KP Duty over a six-week period.
In addition to intensive moisturizing, Adults and children over two with KP can help fight the condition by exfoliating with DERMAdoctor's KP Duty Body Scrub. Medical-quality exfoliation requires more than just scrubbing. Dry skin, flaky patches and KP bumps are held together by bonds that physical exfoliation alone can't break. KP Duty Body Scrub acts as a chemical peel and microdermabrasion session in one, allowing dermatologist-recommended skin therapies including glycolic, lactic and azelaic acids to provide deeper, more thorough results.
Smooth, non-abrasive synthetic beads lift away dead skin cells without inflicting trauma to the epidermis. Calming, anti-redness agents including green tea, willow bark and algae extracts help prevent irritation and sensitivity, leaving the resurfaced skin soft, smooth and radiant. KP Duty Body Scrub only needs to be used once or twice a week to help ward off dreaded chicken skin bumps. Hypoallergenic with no dyes or irritants, it is great for all skin types.
The important thing to remember in treating children of any age with keratosis pilaris is that this common, genetic condition cannot hurt them and does not even require treatment. Chances are it bothers you more than it bothers them, but if you choose to treat your child's KP, just be sure to read all package warnings on any treatments to ensure they are age-appropriate, and consult your pediatrician before applying any products to a child under age two.

This is one of those mangas where we wait so long between chapters I completely forget who is who and then they delve in to a flashback or something, and I get even more confused. Though I really hope this new group will stick with it. I know KMTS HATED doing freezing with a passion.

They have a tendency to do manga with well-endowed women... that, and I believe this is also by the Korean guy, and they usually do all of his stuff as well. Of course, then they discovered what this actually was, and probably decided they didn't like it. But really, they're probably the only ones who know why they hated it

Hehe, loved the pimp-slap in this chapter. Been a long time since I saw a chapt for Freezing so I kind of forgot what's what.
If I remember the Raws for this, Freezing suffered from a whole lot of bitchy infighting... I think I remember one such confrontation taking up an entire volume. At this rate, humanity is pretty much screwed because all our super-powered weapons are busy clawing at each other and not saving us. Then I think Bridget/Kazuya get some time at the end of 4. All in all this story turns into 70% girls fighting each other, 15% flashbacks, 5% random talking / school life, and 5% romance and 5% fighting the bad guys!
But still, they sure do look nice... wait what?

The interesting arc begin in the latest 3 raws, while GENETICS headquarter under attack by two NOVA and their army (Consumed Pandora under their control).
There is a mystery about Kazuya Onee-chan death. Look like that girl isn't died yet, instead being held secretly deep down inside the Headquarter Facility.
Spoiler for latest:
and yes this manga still look nice, with a lot of Bakunyuu (girl with big boobies). I wonder how their feed their daughter in this manga, all of them grow to well endowed girl with well endowed breast

Wow, all of that, huh. That sounds like it will be pretty intense. But I think that it could have been introduced in a better way, still, it's nice that they have something like that going on.

I'm just hoping it doesn't turn out to be a brother/sister confrontation in the end, could do without that.
but yet again I keep seeing that little git Kazuya being the same o same o -___-
by that I mean he never ever takes the lead in a fight when clearly he should be, considering his hax power. He's always standing about well I'll just say screaming like a little girl(not really what happens but thats how I'm gonna look at it)
Its always him watching and waiting for everyone to be torn to shreds before lifting a finger, thats something I really hate.
Well I'll just finish off with quoting AKnightWhoSaysNi!

Right...the lad schools a lass that could probably take on a platoon of army men and wants to kill him with all she has yet he gets pushed around by some yob.
I mean really how could he not notice that that bunch looks the part of thugs -__-
I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but there are times you can just tell.
Bridget yet again makes the chapter worth while

geeez.... anyone else sometimes having trouble distinguishing the different characters from each other in im dal's series ? (i know he is actually not the artist and i also know the artists of freezing/inferno and UxU are different ones) I mean i like his art, especially of the girls but i sometimes have the feeling characters are designed with a single face template (1 for male, one for female ... or wait, actually... ) but different hairstyles.

Today I have swatches of one of piCture pOlish's latest blogger collaboration shades, Paradise by Liquid Jelly. In the bottle it's a gorgeous shimmery mix of purple and teal with orange tinged holo glitter in a blue jelly base.
On my nails I find it a little too shiny - as you might know, I'm not too keen on blingy metallic glitters or foils, and this is squarely in both categories. But I know I'm in the minority!
These swatches are one thick coat over W7 Envy, a teal shimmer. Coverage is excellent, and the base colour barely shows through at all, although being jelly based, you'll need more coats to deal with visible nail line.
I love seeing blogger collaboration shades - they're always something a little different! What do you think of them?
