Dr. Ohm Delivers Commencement Address
Ed Stayton, 1951-52 SPIRE Editor, was seriously injured in an auto-mobile
accident Saturday, May 24, on the west coast, according to word
received here by his mother, Mrs. Edith Hinkley, of Sunnyvale, Calif.
According to Mrs. Hinkley's let-ter,
Ed was driving his automobile
alone from Sunnyvale to San Jose,
California, about 10:45 p.m. when
his car crashed into another car
near a recently completed road at
which there were no stop signs. He
was taken to a hospital in San Jose
where he remained unconscious for
several hours. He suffered critical
internal injuries and loss of blood
so as to necessitate transfusion of
four pints of blood. His automobile
was a total loss.
In her letter Mrs. Hinkley stated
that doctors had given her word
that there was no "immediate dan-ger,"
and also stated that Ed was
taking it all "with courage." Any
mail the Bethel family wishes to
send Ed may be addressed in care
of Mrs. Edith M. Hinkley, Rt. 1,
Box 478, Sunnyvale, California.
Ed had been taking course work
in the seminary here here until the
beginnig of the Spring quarter
when he left school to find employ-ment
to have funds to continue
schooling next year. He was em-ployed
by a water well digging
company in California and installed
well equipment.

to express her attitude about her
work here. Although plans beyond
more schooling are not clearly de-fined
for her as yet, she has a deep

Blue-Gold Win
In Student Poll
The student opinion which pitted
the green and gold combinations
against the blue and gold showed
a difference of taste which divided
the students into two nearly equal
groups. Perhaps the Scandinavian
traditions can be credited with giv-ing
the blue a small margin, the
poll count being 100 for green and
gold and 130 for blue and gold.
The Committee in charge will
report to the faculty at a meeting
scheduled for .June 3 in the hope
of reaching a decision. The division
of opinion in the faculty has not
been polled.
The study of the school nick-name
is also being continued with
no clear consensus of opinion.

Johnson Produces
Bethel Sound Film
Since the discovery of a new
magnetic soundstrip for making
sound movies by Bell and Howell,
Bethel's movie project has been
expanded. Originally the school in-tended
to film scattered scenes
from Bethel college life with narra-tive.
Now, with the aid of this new
magnetic striping process, it will
be possible to make a sound movie.
Since this involves more detailed
arranging and a specific script the
film will not be ready by June as
was previously planned. Gene John-son,
faculty member in charge, is
working on the plans and assem-blage
of this movie.
Sem Grads Assume Teaching,
Pastoral, Missionary Duties
Several of the seminary graduates have been assigned regular pas-torates
and will take up their duties soon after graduation. Dean Edwin
Omark has announced that a total of 173 students were enrolled in the
seminary during the year. The breakdown into classes is as follows:

Editorial ..
There are few disciplines in a Christian
college that present greater problems of
pedagogy than does philosophy, for by its
very nature philosophy must begin by chal-lenging
any and all traditional beliefs, by
re-thinking every first premise, by critical-ly
re-examining ideas held sacred. But in
doing this the philosopher inevitably meets
resistance. In some instances this resistance
is purely passive, but in other instances it
leads to open hostility to the teacher. This
hostility can spread in widening circles as
the irritated student reports to others that
his faith is being criticized. Therefore the
Christian instructor of philosophy is caught
on the horns of a dilema. Should he offer
the challenges and be true to philosophy,
or should he avoid criticism by sweetly as-suring
the student that the traditional be-liefs
are beyond any need of critical evalu-ation?
There is no complete escape from
this dilema for some insecure minds can
never tolerate true philosophy.
Mr. Otto has been facing this dilema
here for four years. He has faced it with
honesty and courage. He has been honest
to the demands of philosophy and courag-eous
in that he has refused to retreat area
of hot controversy. He has often found him-self
in the uncomfortable position of being
obliged to hold a tenet which was assailed
by fellow Christians. For those who assailed
him with intellectual honesty he has tried
to explain and defend his point. For those
who assaile him with blind bigotry he has
no unkind word.
* * * *
Miss Annamarie Oesterlie, our friend
from Germany has mentioned before the
student body several times these words, "It
is easy to live a Christian life at Bethel."
We ought to always focus on a constant life
inspite of our environment which stems
only from well grounded inner dynamic
experience. As we go forth this summer
let us utilize the essential tool of consistent
living that is a part of the emphasis here
at Bethel—the tool of daily communion
with the Power that will keep us calm in
our spirits and make us wise in sizing up all
our necessary social relations. It is our
thought that the balm of quiet meditation
before God each day is a must for these
days that lie ahead. May it not be our en-vironment
that makes it "easy" to be a
Christian. May it rather be a vital exper-ience
of the paradox "in our weakness, we
become strong." Our weakness is turned to
strength as we submit ourselves, our recog-nized
inadequacies, to God, in quiet medi-tation
each day.

And then "my" job began. My room-mate,
Mary, isn't the tubby type. Oh, no, her
problems are quite different. Poor Mary
is so thin that she actually looks like she
is shrivelling up to nothing. There is a song
about a girl who was "skinny as a tooth-pick
and her neck was like a giraff." Yes,
that is my poor room-mate—skinny Mary.
First of all, maybe I can find out why
Mary is so skinny. It isn't that she doesn't
eat enough, because anyone who uses twe-lve
meal books in one quarter certainly
eats enough. While going over the past
year, I thought of many things that could
have made the poor girl skinny. One thing
is the icy weather we had. It seemed as if
Mary's "number elevens" just were not big
enough to hold her up. All of the spills
she took would be enough to knock fifty
pounds of fat off of anyone.
Then there was Mr. Dalton's horrible
history tests. Why—how that girl would
slave and study and cram and worry about

ems of Tbougbt
by President Wingblade
Why is Commencement called commence-ment?
Does it not bring to a close a
long period of hard and faithful work?
What is it then that commences? Answer:
The life work—the service.
Longfellow's poem on the launching of
the ship has become a classic. Many months
and possibly years, the ship has been in
the process of construction.
"Build me straight, 0 worthy master;
Stout and staunch, a goodly vessel."
There has been the sound of many a
hammer stroke as the ship has been fash-ioned
slowly into strength and beauty—a
leviathan of the deep. At last it is sea-worthy.
The hour has struck. The great
form moves, there is a mighty leap, and
the ship is "in the ocean's arms" ready
for the voyage.
And so for the graduate—the life journey
lies ahead. On how well he has built, on
how faithfully he has prepared, on that
will depend the success of the voyage—
in fair or foul weather. The crisis will re-veal
the strength, but the strength must
be there before the crisis.
We believe that our Bethel young people
have built well. We believe you will stand
the test. But remember also that "it is
the set of the sail and not the gale that
determines which way you will go". And so
we lift the figure from that of a ship to
that of a sailor or captain of the ship. You
have yourself—your body, your mind, your
education, your every talent—just how are
you going to direct and manipulate it all?
One false move, one wrong decision—and
you may strike the rocks.
We recall the Scripture—"We see light
in thy light." We need constant direction
and wisdom from above. We need a Light
that does not fail—a Light that never yet
was seen on sea or land—not of the sun-light,
not of the moonlight, not of the star-light—
if we are to avoid the shallows and
the misery. Christ is—and has promised to
be that Light for us.
"0 young mariner,
Down to the haven,
Call your companions,
Launch your vessel,
Crowd your canvas and
Ere it vanishes
Over the margin,
After it, follow it,—
Follow the gleam."
"Like Crazy"
by Flossie Jacobson
With finals upon us,
You can't say we're lazy;
Just the opposite's true—
We're studying like crazy!
Since the end is approaching
(Though minds are all hazy)
You see students en masse
Writing finals like crazy!
The graduates are busy—
Jim's writing to Casey—
While the rest you can see,
Signing Spires like crazy!
The rooms are disrupted;
The mass — it's a daisy!
With their suitcases and trunks
A packing like crazy!
Some are leaving already,
With tears sad and glazy;
But I'm staying here,
So-o-o lonesome — LIKE
his tests. She just loved history, but she
surely had trouble with those tests.
And then, just last week she got up at
5:00 a.m. and ran all over Como Park look-ing
for the birds that she needed for "Zoo".
She ran here and there, but it just seemed
as if there were no "early birds" in Como
Park, so all of her labor was in vain.
Well, there were many other things that
seemed to have an important part also, but
in summarizing them all up, the main thing
seems to be worry—worry about tests, study-ing
and so on.
From that conclusion I made this diet
for her:
No studying
Only easy recreation
Weather always clear
Old Maid's desire for sweets
Rich foods—such as fats and creams
Real easy tests
Yearning for knowledge abolished.
Case Number Two: Nancy Schnorr
by Mary Radunz
As I turned the corner of Fifth and Nicollet in downtown Minneapolis, a huge
billboard suddenly caught my eye. Stopping, I gazed fixedly at it and then realized
its awful truth. It was a picture of a man—big and fat—standing on a scale. Below,
these words were written, "Now's the time for jello!"
It was sad but true; something would have to be done. Although things weren't
quite at the stage of the tubby man on the billboard, who weighed 214 pounds, things
were, nevertheless, pretty sad. Yes, my room-mate, Nancy, would have to reduce! Why
just yesterday two buttons popped off her blouse when she raised her hand in geol
graphy class. And, because she can't run very fast anymore, she was late to English
this whole past week! Maybe I could help Nancy to reduce, I thought. After all,
room-mates should stick together.
Once back at the dorm I got a pile of newspapers from the cleaning closet and
began looking through them. For the first step in reducing is to find a suitable diet.
On the women's page in the second newspaper, I found one, but it 'was called a
"Housewife's Diet". She wouldn't need one of those—not for a few years, anyway.
After more searching I came across another. Anxious to see if it would be suitable,
I quickly read the first few lines: "Does your husband have trouble stooping to put
his shoes on? Is he beginning to have that overstuffed after-forty look? . . ." The
caption read, "Tubby Hubby Diet." Discarding it with a sigh of despair, I continued
my search. I finally gave up after finding only one more diet, but in spite of my dis-appointment
I had to laugh when head it: it was called a "Working Girl's Diet." That
would never do for Nancy!
Now the only thing left to do would be to make up a diet—but how? I didn't
know anything about diets. But wait a minute—what was it that the billboard said .. .
"Now's the time for jello." Suddenly inspired, I grabbed a pencil and Raper and began
to write:

jellied toast with jelly—no butter

No doubt many of you have been
wondering, "What's happened to
the tennis courts?" We had plan-ned
to have the tennis courts in
use three weeks ago. The reason
for the delay is that a certain
excavating company has not come
to level off the courts. We have
given up this company and are
now waiting for the bulldozer that
is coming to level the ground
around the new gymnasium, to al-so
level the courts for play.
Special thanks goes to those fel-lows
who helped to uncover one
court, namely John Palmquist, Jay
Fernlund, George Cannon, Herb
Hage, Dean Olson, Wes Forsline,
Chuck Nelson, Willard Nuss, Mar-vin

Where will you find who in the

problems that the Policy Commit-tee

Class Day Program
Seventy-nine seniors from college
and seminary, robed in traditional
gowns, took part in appropriate
class day exercises Wednesday
morning, May 28, 1952. "Channels
of Blessings," was the title of the
address given by Harvey Swanberg,
senior college class speaker. We
become channels of blessing, he
pointed out, if we: deny ourselves,
abide in Christ, and work in the
Spirit. The seminary class speaker,
William Brice, spoke on, "A Stan-dard
for Christian Living," stress-ing
the Sermon on the Mount is
that standard.
"Am I really intended for some-thing
great?" was the challenging
question President Wingblade left
with the seniors. He gave four in-gredients
of greatness: daring to be
different, willingness to suffer,
sympathy, and humility.
Graduating seniors were welcom-ed
into the Bethel Alumni Associa-tion
and challenged to the respon-sibility
of the ministry of fellow-ship
and support by Bob Nord-strom.
Dr. Wingblade presented
thirty-eight worthy students with
the customary prizes and scholar-ships
given each year by Bethel
A unique wall-clock for the new
field house is the college senior
class gift to the school and was
presented by the class president,
Bernard Hogan. Earl Hoagberg,
president of the seminary graduat-ing
class presented their gift, a
tape recorder.
The male chorus, directed by
Nels Stjernstrom, rendered several
numbers; Elna Goldsmith led in
devotions. Traditional processional
music was played by Carol Adding-ton
at the organ; Dean Omark
spoke the benediction.
Student Writers
Publish Works
Creative writing students each
contributed a fiction story and the
class compiled them into the book-let
"Stories From '52," now being
sold in the college building first
floor hall for twenty cents.
The last story in the booklet was
a class project where each member
contributed. Comments from the
students evidence real enjoyment
from the stories which are tragic,
humorous, and common to every
day experiences of life.
The whole project showed a

Erikson Tells Grads
To "Major In Christ"
"Major in Jesus Christ—what-ever
else you learn, learn of Him
and live for Him" was the essence
of Rev. Martin Erikson's message
"Advantageous Knowledge" to the
graduates at the Baccalaureate ser-vice
Sunday afternoon, June 1, 4:00
p.m. in the college chapel.
After the graduates and faculty
members marched in to the ,proces-sional
"March Triomphale", Karg-
Elert, played by C. Howard Smith
at the organ, Nels Sjernstrom led
the audience in the singing of
"How Firm a Foundation".
Dean C. E. Carlson read the
Scripture and Dean Edwin J.
Omark led in prayer. The Chapel
Choir, under the direction of C.
Howard Smith, provided special
music, "Beautiful Savior", Christ-iansen,
and "The Word Believing",
Sateren. Rev. H. Wyman Malmsten
pronounced the benediction after
Erikson's address, and the reces-sional
"March in G", Smart, was
played by C. Howard Smith.
In addition, the library sub-scribes
to 364 periodicals.
Most of these books and periodi-cals
are purchased by the library
funds set aside by the school ad-ministration.
A small number are
received as gifts including some
class gifts received in former years.
Book selection for the library is
a cooperative affair in which the
faculty and library staff are res-ponsible
for the large bulk of
orders. Students make occasional
suggestions, usually good ones.
In choosing new materials for
the collection, curriculum needs
are the first consideration. Much
thought is given, as well, to the
ordering of works which enable
the faculty members to keep
abreast of their respective fields.
General cultural development of
students and faculty as well as
their recreational needs are other
factors which affect selection.
Few people realize that after a
volume is purchased it costs an
equal amount, or more, to place
the book on the shelf for circula-tion.
This is due to the many be-hind-
the-scene activities, including
cataloging, classification and sub-ject-
heading, necessary to prepare
the volume for the reader's use.
New Books Go On Library Shelves
At Average Rate of Eight Per Day
Eight books a day, every day in the year—that is the average rate
at which new books are added to the shelves of Bethel Library. Speak-ing
in terms of the student body, that means six books are added for
each student annually.
This rate of increase has been maintained for over three years
according to figures recently released by Miss Marina Axeen, librarian.

Indians Bow 12-4 In Last Diamond Showing
Eight Cross In 8th to Put
Game "On Ice" For Luther
Bethel closed the baseball season on about the same note that they -
opened the campaign on—with a loss—this one to Luther of New Ulm.
Luther, sending eight runs across in
game and to win 12 - 4.
For Bethel, it marked the end of
the season with only one notch on
the credit side against six defeats.
The pitching for the Indians, gen-erally
weak this season, was good
with Algene Ristow hurling. How-ever,
he weakened in the fatal
eighth inning and before the fire
was put out by Stan Lindgren, the
eight runs had scampered across
the plate to ice the game.
Luther scored first, in the initial
inning to take the lead, then added
two more in the third. Meanwhile,
Bethel scored lone tallies in the
second, third, and fourth frames
to keep even with the Luther nine.
Both teams added one additional
run in the sixth to keep the game
tight. Then came the big Luther
The Indians were also out hit 11
to 8, leading hitters for Bethel be-ing
Jim Baxter with 3 for 3, and
Mel Nygren with 3 for 5.

Arne Duncan remarks at School Without Walls on anniversary of March on Washington
Arne Duncan remarks at School Without Walls on anniversary of March on Washington
Thank you & acknowledgements
Thank you, Hugh [Price]. It's a special honor to be introduced by someone who has been a leader and innovator in improving education and in tearing down the national shame of Jim Crow. I know how personal this anniversary is to you, since you served as a marshal in the March on Washington. It's an absolute privilege to be here with you, and so many other distinguished leaders this morning.
I also want to say to Ambassador [Andrew] Young, Chancellor [Kaya] Henderson, Marc Morial, Bernice King, Reverend [Carolyn] McKinstry, Dr. [Angela Farris] Watkins, and the other distinguished panelists, how much I am looking forward to listening to your conversation and learning from you.
Congratulations to our hosts hereThe King Center and Discovery Educationon this event, and to Discovery and the National Urban League on your partnership [an initiative that is focused on helping to bridge the digital divide in our urban communities].
And to the young people here at the School without Walls: I am so hopeful about your collective futures, because I know the commitment of your teachers, and the quality of education you receive here. It's a pleasure to talk with a group of studentsthis is always the best part of my day! I know you take the legacy of the March seriouslythat's why your school has made a priority of community service.
And I'm thrilled that this conversation is being live-streamed to students across the country. This anniversary belongs to everyone, and especially to our young people.
Civil rights takes struggleand it's on you
As we reflect on today, it's important first to remember that the March on Washington almost didn't happen. Like every other civil rights victory, it took struggle.
And that struggle isn't over.
Yes, there's been progressextraordinary progress. But, we all know, we've got a lot further to go.
In today's world, freedom means having real opportunitiesthe kinds of opportunities that come only with a great education. The opportunity to find work that will enable you to support yourself, and your family. The opportunity to make decisions about your future. The opportunity to participate fully in our democracy.
It's going to take a lot of work before every young person has that kind of opportunity.
Looking back at the March on Washington
Getting there will require youthe young people in this audienceto join a struggle that began long before you were born.
Let's start by taking a look back at the March on Washington.
When that march was in the planning stages, powerful people wanted to stop it. Not everyone believed that people of different races would come together peacefully on a hot summer day. Some said the march would interrupt progress. President Kennedy actually urged the organizers to cancel it.
Several earlier marches had been planned, and canceled.
But this time, the organizers wouldn't take no for an answer.
And so, hundreds of thousands of Americans of all races marched on this city. They packed the National Mall from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. It was powerful. Peaceful. And impossible to ignore. It forced a change in the arc of history.
One of my heroes, John Lewisthe only major speaker who's still alive todayis going to be here later today. He often talks about how proud President Kennedy was when he congratulated the leaders at the White House. Yes, President Kennedy had opposed the marchbut he was thrilled with what it had achieved.
What had the marchers achieved?
Think of it this way.
Tomorrow, just like fifty years ago, an African-American man will stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and speak about civil rights and justice.
But afterwards, he won't visit the White House. He'll go home to the White House.
That's how far this country has come.
A black president is a victory that few could have imagined fifty years ago.
America's progress in civil rights cannot be denied.
But in some really important ways, we have a lot further to go.
Education is the civil rights issue of our time
I've often said that education is the civil rights issue of our time. I'm not the first to say it.
But what does that mean?
Civil rights is more than just the absence of chains. It's more than the power to vote. Civil rights means having the same opportunities that other people doregardless of what you look like, where you come from, or whom you love.
And in today's world, to have real opportunity, you must have a world-class education.
If you can ride at the front of the bus, but you cannot read, you are not free.
If your schooling limits you to poverty wages, you're not free.
If you don't have the skills to make it in a global, knowledge-based economy, you're nottrulyfree.
Geoffrey Canada, the founder of the Harlem Children's Zone, wrote recently that America has come a long waybut said, "Our public education system... is failing to prepare huge numbers our children for the future. That threatens the dream for all of us."
In the 1950s and 60s, the fight for educational equality was mostly about segregation. Jim Crow segregation is no longer the law of any stateand that we can celebrate.
Supporters of integration no longer face police officers with dogs and fire hoses and billy clubs. You no longer need the National Guard to accompany you when you try to enroll in college.
But integration alone doesn't guarantee a world-class education.
Even for many minority students with the finest education, discrimination is still alive.
And the truth is that a good education means something different now. When Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis marched, a high school diploma was enough for a solid job in a steel mill or a factory. And that meant you could afford a car, a house, a comfortable life for your family.
Today, there are almost no jobs like that for a high school graduate.
Today, to have a path to the middle class, you're probably going to need a college degree, or at least an advanced certificate after high school.
That's why President Obama has said we need to be first in the world in college graduation again. Today, jobs go where the best-educated workers areanywhere in the world. We wantand we needthose high wage, high skills jobs to stay right here. America used to lead the world in college graduates. We're 12th among our young adults. That is nothing to be proud of.
And too many of our young people left on the sidelines are black, brown, and poor.
That's not what John Lewis and Martin Luther King were marching for.
Now, we are making some important progress. High school graduation rates are higher than they have been in almost 30 years. College enrollment is way up, too. A lot of that is because African-American and Hispanic young people are graduating from high school and attending college at much higher rates. That's huge.
The black-white achievement gap in reading has narrowed by about half since 1971.
We've turned around some of the worst high schools in the countrydropout factories that were killing the futures of young people. Ten years ago, half of African-American high school students and 39 percent of Hispanic students attended dropout factories.
We've cut those proportions in half. There are 700,000 fewer students in those failing schools now than there were just four years ago. That's 700,000 students with a better chance at a middle class life, of supporting their family, and strengthening their community.
But we have so much further to go.
Today, African-American students are more than three times more likely than white students to be suspended or expelled.
Today, we are a country of hidden segregation. In a lot of places, kids of different races and different wealth may go to school in the same building. But when you look at the actual classes they take, and the quality of their education, they're going to totally different schools.
Today, a small set of failing schools still accounts for about half of all African-American and Hispanic dropouts.
Today, low-income children of color don't get their share of the best teachers.
Today, poverty still matterstoo much. In a land of opportunity, kids should get a world-class education, even if their parents didn't, and regardless of how much money their family makes.
Simply put, we're not there yet.
I know full well the challenges that come from living in tough neighborhoods. All of that makes the important work of educators harder. But we can't accept where we stand.
Today, a child from a rich family is seven times more likely to complete college than a child from a low-income family.
As a result, too often, the rich get richer, and the poor stay poor. If you want to increase social mobility, you must increase educational opportunity. There are no shortcuts.
But today, too many communities still shortchange their children by failing to pay the bill for a decent education. In 1967, Dr. King wrote: "The discount education given Negroes will in the future have to be purchased at full price if quality education is to be realized."
Forty-five years later, from North Carolinawhere today underpaid teachers go on public assistanceto Philadelphiawhere lack of investment leads directly to inferior educationDr. King's message still hasn't been heard. Our children, and our country, deserve so much more.
And, perhaps worst of all, the most fundamental civil rightsafety from violenceremains in doubt for too many children.
Children should be safe, whether they're in their neighborhood, or at school, or stopping by the store to get Skittles and an iced tea.
Yet today, too many young people live in fear of violenceespecially gun violence. From the time I was a child, I saw firsthand the cost of that violence in Chicago. It's horrifying.
I want to tell you about Christina Waters. She was a student at a small neighborhood public school I helped to start, called Ariel Community Academy. After I left Chicago and moved to DC, I thought I would next see Christina at her college graduation, but instead I visited her in her hospital room in 2009.
She'd been at a church activity on a summer evening when someone started spraying bullets, and she was shot in the head. Emergency workers had to look up "Mom" in her phone to notify her family. Her friend, who was standing next to her, was killed, but Christina survived and recovered. She is as tough, as resilient, as they get.
Tomorrow, Christina starts her junior year at Sam Houston State University in Texas, and I'm so thankful and so proud of her. But we came so close to losing this young womanthe way we do so many of our precious young people.
At a middle school I visited here in DC, I asked a group of students whether they knew anyone who had been shot. Every handevery handwent up. One student said hauntingly, "I see bullets everywhere." Several had family members who had been killed.
Homicide is the leading cause of death for young black males in this countrybigger than the next nine leading causes combined.
I believe our nation tolerates this staggering level of violence because it happens in poor neighborhoods of color. The causesjoblessness, hopelessness, easy access to guns, fatherless families, black on black crime, lack of mentors, lack of investment, inferior educationstill sometimes seem too complex and painful for our country to grapple with honestly.
Safety is a child's most fundamental civil right.
It's hard to learn when you're afraid for your life. It's hard to plan for the future if your thinking is, "if I grow up," not "when I grow up."
We have so much further to go.
We have to stand up together.
And your timeyour timeas leaders has come.
Speak out
Dr. King said: "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle."
No civil rights victory was ever handed to anyone.
And now, the struggle will be led by you.
The most powerful force in the world is nonviolent struggle. But you can't just wait for it to happen.
You have to speak out.
As a student, John Lewis, the civil rights hero, didn't just participatehe helped to lead the March on Washington. He's now a member of Congress, and he was back at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday, to speak to people celebrating the anniversary of the March. Here's what he said:
"You cannot stand by. You cannot sit down. You got to stand up. Speak up. Speak out."
Speak out.
You can speak out with your voice.
You can speak out with positive actions.
You can speak out through getting involved and being a leader.
And soon, you'll be able to speak out by voting. People died to give you that power. Today, too many individuals choose not to vote, and too many states work to restrict access. Please, demand the right to vote, and be a leader and role model by exercising that right.
The rights of young people
Speak out for the kind of education that every child needs so they'll have real opportunities in their lives.
What should every young person in America have a right to experience as part of a normal childhood?
- Preschool that provides a strong start.
- Skilled, caring teachers.
- Experiences that teach patience and hard work.
- Safety.
- Leadership opportunities.
- Role models to learn from.
- A school that serves them and their families.
- Exposure to the world of work.
- An opportunity to prepare for collegeand the ability to afford it.
It's not complicated.
It's not asking for too much.
But don't wait for anybody to hand it to you.
If Martin Luther King Jr. were here today, he would remind all of us of the fierce urgency of now and the need to press for real progressnot over decades but over days and months and years.
He would tell us that ignorance is a form of mental slavery every bit as oppressive as the physical slavery that stained America's history.
So when you see schools that don't give kids real opportunities, don't wait for change. Speak out.
When politicians discount education funding, speak out.
When communities don't keep their young people safe, speak out.
James Farmer, another leader of the March, dedicated himself to the fight against discrimination at the age of 10.
Martin Luther King led the Montgomery bus boycott when he was all of 26.
John Lewis was 23 when stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and spoke to a quarter-million people 50 years ago.
Honor the memory of the March on Washington. Honor the struggle of the people who fought to get this far.
Honor their sacrifice not just through reflection, but through action.
Don't wait for change.
Stand up.
Speak out.
Thank you.

Dad picked up one of these today. The built in options are incredible.

Hah! Nifty little thing, by the sounds of it. Just checked out the specs, looks like a pretty handy practice amp or one you can use for busking.
Myself, just bought me one of these to play with;
Will post vids when I play get my head around it and use it live.
For people who are curious as to what they can do;
Not that hard to do technically but Adam (local dude) pulls it off with such style, you can't help but love it I reckon. For the record, he's a sax player by training. The rest he's just picked up over the years.
Let this be a lesson, folks; never, ever, ever buy any musical equipment locally. The shops will happily ream you.
So....... when are we going to convert this into a guitar-playing Y00T00b thread?

Forever 63* at the SCG
I gnabbed a Monterey mock Telecaster. Sounds unbelievably clean and really good for a cheap guitar. Most people that hear it are amazed that it is a Monterey and not a Squire. The only problem is it picks up the bass E a bit heavy in the pickup, but a good sound mixer gets rid of that
Decided that I want to learn guitar.
Have no idea how to start though.
1. Better to start with acoustic or electric. I think the former.
2. I'm naturally left-handed, so do I have to buy a left-handed guitar, or can I force myself to learn right-handed? Just thinking about it, learning right-handed from the beginning would be very difficult.
3. I'm living in Japan, so any guitar books will be in Japanese. Would you recommend getting a beginner's DVD?
2. I am also left-handed but play on right-handed guitars. I feel it helps me a lot with setting the fingers for chords etc., as that is done by my good hand, but I'm ****e at playing without a plectrum because it's my motor-impaired right hand that has to do that.
3. DVD's are good, you might also want to check out the Guitar for Dummies book, as it has a really good explanation of the system behind finger settings and what kind of lick is often used in different kinds of music. It basically is a great textbook for all the cliche riffs you'd ever want to use without sounding like you're just playing a really bad cover song. Other than that, you can find easy-to-understand tablature for almost any song you can think of on the Internet. They're good for quickly picking up skills as well.
Go for it, it's the coolest thing.

Avoid a really cheap guitar as they will be difficult to play on. What you're looking for is a smooth-playing neck. Lots of brands will give you that. From personal experience, avoid the cheapest things in the Fender range. If you dare, just go to a shop and try a few that fit your budget. By just gliding your hand over the neck you will get a feel for how smooth they are. And ignore the wannabe guitar god playing away in the practice area, if he was really any good he wouldn't be there.
In my experience, really good guitarists still start off as complete beginners on a mandolin, so loads of them just cbf. But if they start playing properly they learn waaaay faster than the people who don't play guitar.

Murphy's Syria vote leaves him caught in the middle
Freshman senator: 1 of 2 Democrats against U.S. airstrikes
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., stops short of calling it arm-twisting.
But when President Barack Obama telephones a freshman senator and member of his own party at home on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend -- just as Murphy was cleaning up after a barbecue in Cheshire -- he wants something. In this case, Murphy's support for a resolution authorizing the president to order U.S. airstrikes against Syria.
Murphy wasn't biting.
"I don't think the White House was counting on my vote when they made the decision to bring this before the Senate," Murphy said in an interview Thursday. "This is a very unique vote that you only cast a few times in your career. This is a matter of war and peace."
Eight months into his first term, Murphy suddenly finds himself caught between an immovable object in the commander in chief and an unstoppable force in the form of widespread public opposition to an air campaign against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
Murphy and New Mexico Democrat Tom Udall broke ranks with their party Wednesday, voting with the minority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee against the resolution. Seven other Democrats supported the measure, which is scheduled to be taken up by the full Senate next week, provided there isn't a filibuster.
"I'll be honest, this was a close call for me," Murphy said. "I think the administration makes a very strong case that we need to uphold a longstanding international red line on the use of chemical weapons. I worry we will actually make the situation more chaotic on the ground with these strikes."
A message seeking comment from the Obama administration was left Thursday at the White House.
The political winds appears to be at the back of Murphy, who, earlier this year, co-sponsored a pending bill with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., seeking to block the U.S. from arming Syrian rebels.
"I'm sure Connecticut is just like every other place. You can't find many people in favor of this," said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.
The White House must come up with 60 votes in the Senate to cut off an anticipated filibuster and to allow the resolution to get an up or down vote, a parliamentary procedure known as cloture.
In a move that doesn't put him completely on the outs with the Obama administration, Murphy said he will vote for cloture.
"I'm not going to engage in a filibuster with Republicans to stop a debate from happening," said Murphy, who served three terms in the U.S. House before he was elected to the Senate last November.
U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., characterized the lobbying by the Obama administration, which has arranged multiple policy briefings for members of Congress, as aggressive.
"It is definitely a full-court press," said Himes, who is leaning against military strikes, but is not completely decided.
Hailing Murphy for his stand against the president is the political left, including Jim Dean, chair of the million-member liberal grassroots organization Democracy for America. The Fairfield resident is the brother of Howard Dean, the former Democratic National Committee chairman and a 2004 presidential candidate.
"We can't have enough freshman senators who are willing to stand up to ask the questions that have to be asked about this," Dean said. "I think the days of people being elected to the Senate and sort of disappearing for the first six years are over.
Since Murphy was assigned to the foreign relations panel, he has been flanked on the meeting room dais by Udall and Virginia Democrat Tim Kaine, a former governor and former DNC chairman who is close to Obama.
"Though there were times that we felt a bit isolated in the caucus, it's good to have someone else to lean on when you might hold a minority position," Murphy said of his rapport with Udall.
But Murphy did not get any political cover from the Connecticut Democrat whose anti-war stand catapulted him to prominence. Ned Lamont, who rode a wave of opposition to the U.S. war in Iraq to victory in the 2006 Democratic Senate primary over incumbent Joe Lieberman, but lost the general election, said Thursday it would be a terrible mistake to do nothing in Syria.
"I hope Chris Murphy and Dick Blumenthal and our representatives in Congress, all of whom are hesitant to decide, weigh the facts, but then give the president the authority he needs," Lamont said. "This is a guy who's not rushing to war and looking for a pretext to go to war. He's not going to allow this to be a slippery slope."
The Greenwich Democrat compared the situation in Syria to the first Gulf War, when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
"It's closer to George Herbert Walker Bush to me, who committed America with broad international support, and who defined the mission to not let American troops march all the way to Baghdad, which is what some wanted," Lamont said.
He spurned comparisons between the civil war in Syria and the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
"We got burned on Iraq and they're going to make darned sure it doesn't happen again," he said.
Ultimately, Lamont said Murphy is not in a position of leverage with his party's leadership in the Senate or the Obama administration.
"I think it's a question of war and peace," he said. "It doesn't get solved by funding for a bridge. I think it's moral vote up or down."

Alcohol Helps Make You Sick
I'm a positive kind of guy. I don't like to share bad news, but this one I felt needed to be told. We all know that alcohol is a diuretic and a mild poison. As a result if you drink too much you feel like death (e.g. the dreaded hangover). But, now comes the really sad news, it seems alcohol may also make you more susceptible to sickness. A new study shows that alcohol reduces the activation of pathways in the body responsible for responding to viral and bacterial infections. "Such a reduction would impair the body's ability to fight off infection."
Now for a more happy note. The results are based on drinking the equivalent of 4-5 drinks per day for 7 days straight. Might explain why some folks get sick when they get home from vacation. So, on the bright side, having a Hot Toddy when you're feeling sick probably isn't going to make you much worse off. Just don't binge on them for a solid week. Which is probably solid advice anyhow.

Note: In light of the above article, is it safe to assume that Thomas Woods Jr. (along with other ideological disciples of Father A. James Sadowsky) is not exactly a fan of the new Pope?
I think its time for people to drop superstitious rubbish and judge a man on his works only.
Anti-Jesuit hmmm: How could that be?http://www.reformation.org/The Jesuits were founded on August 15, 1540, for one reason: to destroy the blessed Reformation of Saint Martin Luther
the blessed reformation of that lunatic Luther? you better do some researchLUTHERS PREOCCUPATION WITH THE DEVIL AND CRUDE SUBJECTS...
your quote is from:http://www.mostholyfamilymonastery.com/http://www.mostholyfamilymonastery.com/luther_denominations.pdfSo torture, inquisitions and stake burning was the answer? The Jesuits were formed to destroy all other religions and the Protestant religion specifically and to be the world religion. Burning and destroying the non catholic was the way back in the day , have they really changed? I'm not a Lutheran but more power to them. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/17/world/americas/17church.html?_r=0Argentine Church Faces Dirty War Past By ALEXEI BARRIONUEVOPublished: September 17, 2007 ...The attitude of the church was scandalously close to the dictatorship that killed more than 15,000 Argentines and tortured tens of thousands more, the priest told a panel of three judges here, to such an extent that I would say it was of a sinful degree. The panel is deciding the fate of the Rev. Christian von Wernich, a priest accused of conspiring with the military who has become for many a powerful symbol of the churchs role.The church was like a mother that did not look for her children, Father Capitanio added. It did not kill anybody, but it did not save anybody, either.Father Capitanios mea culpa came nearly a quarter century after the junta was toppled in 1983 and democracy was restored. But in some ways, it occurred at just the right time. Through the trial of Father von Wernich, Argentina is finally confronting the churchs dark past during the dirty war, when it sometimes gave its support to the military as it went after leftist opponents. That past stands in stark contrast to the role the church played during the dictatorships in Chile and Brazil, where priests and bishops publicly condemned the governments and worked to save those being persecuted from torture and death.Officially, the church has maintained its silence throughout the trial, even knowing weeks in advance that Father Capitanio had been compelled by the tribunal to testify. The priest said in an interview that he was not ordered by the church to testify and was not speaking on its behalf.Father von Wernich worked as a police chaplain during the dictatorship, from 1976 to 1983. He escaped to Chile but was found in 2003 in the seaside town of El Quisco by a group of journalists and human rights advocates. He was working as a priest under the name Christian González....

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Mafia, the Vatican, banks and money------ What could go wrong or be illegal? Should be a good movie coming up.
Hi Ship. I would truly like to see a decent man commanding that much power. My ideology is cynical, I'm guilty and admit it. Pope Francis is being publicly renowned for his humility and and recently his mention of shutting down the Vatican bank. It all sounds great, and sure I would be pleased to see any corporate religion get it right. I have been watching them come and go for a while, the good ones usually get a bullet, heart attack or an assisted suicide. I understand your feelings and would like to believe all of the MSM chatter, unfortunately ( for me) its a wait and see.If he is on the level, that all of this publicity is not simply showmanship,a form of putting the church back on the front page and correcting their image, resurecting parishoners, I hope he lives a long life.
Check out: Digging for thruth, bottom line who do ya trust, the MSM, the Gov, the high powered churches, supercorporations, the Vatican, Pope Francis, Obmama, Bush, .. Not to slight Pope Franciins, beleive me I can't seem to get the bottom line, its just every time I want to get my hopes up a nasty suprise is on the horizon. Hope, hope and keep hoping, as of today our MSM, elected leaders are backing him to the hilt, our amazing news media hails this man, and my folks are in awe of this seeming incredible man. The thing is I can't for judge this guy, or give an honest oppionion, Ive dug aroud a lot but retrun to the same circle of confusui. All I can add is the past of the Vaticas action are a abmoinnation, if this man iis on a mission to eradicte crime within the churh, great, if its all smoke and mirros, I'm sure there will be many disapointed. It's a wait and see. Corporate religion elites, bankers, goverments, politicians, have POWER, to deny that would be in err. I don't beleive I will be addressing this subject untill further evidence is become avaliable to us peons.|The VaticanNew Pope Shows Eye for SymbolismBy Stephan FarisMarch 16, 201314 Comments Read more: http://world.time.com/2013/03/16/new-pope-shows-eye-for-symbolism/#ixzz2OquWrWCl

Hans Zimmer called,
and thousands of you came
to join the Dark Knight legend.
Our users created an amazing part of the final soundtrack, to be heard in theaters around the world from July 20, 2012.
Deh-Shay Deh-Shay Bah-Sah-Rah!
Hans Zimmer and UJAM thank everybody who joined the chant – without you, this amazing part of the soundtrack wouldn't have been possible.
UJAM teamed up with composer Hans Zimmer and Warner Bros., inviting Batman fans all over the world to join an epic choir in Christopher Nolan's film "The Dark Knight Rises". Thousands of people from 107 different countries followed and recorded their chant on ujam-studio.com.
See the official trailer featuring a preliminary version of the chant, a mix of the voices of thousands of early UJAM contributors:
The chant became a very complicated thing because I wanted hundreds of thousands of voices, and it's not so easy to get hundreds of thousands of voices. So, we Twittered and we posted on the internet, for people who wanted to be part of it. It seemed like an interesting thing. We've created this world, over these last two movies, and somehow I think the audience and the fans have been part of this world. We do keep them in mind. And I thought it would be something nice, if our audiences could actually be part of the making of the movie and be participants in this. So, we've got this website up, www.ujam-studio.com, where you can go on and be part of it. It was fantastic. – Hans Zimmer on collider.com

While questions about one 49ers wide receiver have been raised with the investigation of Michael Crabtree, the promotion of another wideout to the roster does not seem to be related.
Crabtree is being investigated in connection with a sexual assault, though no charges have been filed. What that means for his participation in today's NFC Championship Game isn't clear, but the 49ers did add another wideout.
They promoted Chad Hall from their practice squad, to fill the roster spot created by cutting extra kicker Billy Cundiff.
Hall may not even be active for today's game, even though they have just four other receivers on the roster. According to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, Hall earned the promotion by virtue of a league rule which requires third-year practice squad players to be promoted if a spot is available on the 53-man roster on game day.
The 49ers released Hall from the practice squad earlier this year so they didn't have to activate him for the same reason, re-acquiring him the next week.

Unlike many pro sports teams, the Dolphins were willing to let the people decide whether to increase the local hotel taxes to help fund renovations to the local football stadium — renovations that could bring multiple Super Bowls back to Miami.
But the politicians refused to let it happen, allowing the regular session to expire without acting on the bill. Now, the Dolphins are firing back, via a statement from Jorge Arrizurieta and H.T. Smith, co-chairs of the campaign to secure public funds for the project.
"By leaving Tallahassee without letting the people of Miami-Dade vote on the modernization of Sun Life Stadium, the Florida House clearly showed our community that they would rather play politics than do the right thing," the statement reads, via the Miami Herald. "While the Tallahassee politicians found time to raise the contribution limits for their fundraising, they said they couldn't find time to let the people of Miami-Dade make their voices heard. While they pushed their political agenda, the House leaders refused to support the effort that would create over 4,000 jobs and provide a much-needed boost to our local economy.
"The House put at risk the future of Super Bowls and other major events in Miami, which are so critical to our tourism economy. It's a sad day when Tallahassee gives San Francisco and Houston a victory at the expense of our community.
"This inaction by the Florida House of Representatives is frankly irresponsible and regretful. The most basic responsibility and right a citizen has is the ability to vote. All we asked for was the opportunity to vote to not be denied. Unfortunately, the House chose to deny Miami-Dade residents the right to have the final say on this effort."
The easy solution would be for the governor of Florida to call an immediate special session of the Legislature, with the goal of getting this bill passed. But that may not be enough to salvage an Italian timeline that required a public vote on May 14, before owners meet on May 21 to award Super Bowl L.

Oklahoma City – EMBARK is hosting a series of listening sessions and a survey to collect input from the public about integrating and simplifying payment options for their different transit and parking services, including: bus, bike share, parking, ferry and the future Oklahoma City Streetcar.
Two public listening sessions will be hosted on Wednesday, April 26. The first will be noon to 1:00 p.m. at Cotter Ranch Tower located at 100 N Broadway Ave # 3113. The second will be 5:30 to 6:30 pm in the Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library located at 300 Park Ave. The same content will be presented at both meetings. The survey can be found at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EMBARK_Fare_Study
"We're interested in improving the customer experience, and that includes looking closer at how our customers pay their fare and what other fare options, such as mobile ticketing, would make it easier to use EMBARK services," says Jason Ferbrache, EMBARK administrator. "We're also interested in how potential customers interact with us as well. For example, if a commuter drives downtown in their own vehicle and parks in an EMBARK garage, then uses an EMBARK bus and or takes the future Streetcar, we want to hear ideas for making that experience as seamless and convenient as possible."
Current EMBARK services include local and express bus service, Plus paratransit for persons with disabilities, five parking structures in downtown, Spokies bike share, EMBARK Rideshare and Oklahoma River Cruises. Beginning in late 2018, EMBARK will also operate the Oklahoma City Streetcar.
"There is growing interest in cities nationwide in improving integration of multiple modes of transportation," says Laura Wolfgram, Project Manager with Four Nines Technologies, a transit consulting firm. "People rely on multiple types of transportation in any given day or week. This is a great opportunity for EMBARK to figure out how the modes can "work together" and make it simpler for the user to pay for and use the services."
Four Nines Technologies is consulting with EMBARK to evaluate the existing fare structure and present recommendations on changes or options that equitably simplify the purchase of EMBARK parking and transit services.
Additionally, the listening sessions and survey will collect opinions about fare collection technologies that would allow purchases on mobile or tablet devices and reusable cards that can be used across EMBARK's family of transit services (similar to cards used by monthly parking garage customers).
"As we grow, and plan for the integration of the Oklahoma City Streetcar into EMBARK's family of services, public input is an essential element to developing solutions that reflect a means for customers to access our services that fit their lifestyle. We're aiming to create a simpler, faster, and easier experience for accessing our services, while finding a pricing scale that makes economic sense for the services they use," adds Ferbrache.
