The following article, written by Monica Engebretson, author and senior program associate at Born Free USA, appeared on Opposing Views (http://www.opposingviews.com/) earlier this month and provoked a fire-storm of comments. Should we be re-posting it here? The article is well-written and discusses some very important issues concerning avian welfare; Monica is a well-informed, committed conservationist who has been a good friend of 10,000 Birds throughout 2009; and though we know that there may well be a similar fire-storm once it gets out that we've posted this, we've never backed away from an argument just because some people out there have very LOUD VOICES.
As always we welcome comment, folks, but personal, inappropriate, or anonymous comments or comments submitted without verifiable email addresses will be deleted.
What if you went over to your neighbor's house and noticed that they had a cat sitting in a cage in their living room?
You'd probably ask if the cat was sick or recovering from an injury.
What if they told you that they keep her in there most of the time because the house stays cleaner that way?
Now imagine that they open the cage door and bring the cat out, but before setting her down they wrap some yarn around her front legs tying them together in a hobble.
This, they say, keeps her from running outside where she might get hurt, plus it keeps her from jumping up on the counter.
If you're like most humane-minded people you'd be appalled and would consider this treatment cruel. Your state's anti-cruelty laws would likely agree.
So why don't people question the practice of keeping birds as pets?
A parrot is just as active and inquisitive as a cat. In fact, parrots have greater cognitive abilities than cats — parrots have been compared to human toddlers in terms of their intelligence and emotional needs.
Anyone who has ever had, or taken care of, a bird can attest that it is extremely difficult to care for a bird without using a cage or controlling their flight.
However, whether or not cages or flight control are necessary for caring for captive birds may be irrelevant to the question of whether the birds make suitable pets. Perhaps a more relevant question is whether or not it is acceptable to keep a particular animal as a companion if ensuring his or her safety or compatibility in the home requires that he or she be constantly caged and/or physically disabled.
Birds are routinely denied two of their most fundamental natural behaviors — flying and socialization. Denial of these activities can cause physical and behavioral abnormalities including incessant screaming, pacing, head-bobbing, feather-plucking, and self-mutilation. Captive birds may also exhibit extremely low behavior, appearing to be catatonic. This is not the sign of a well-adjusted bird, it's a sign of a bird who has given up.
Denial of natural behavior isn't the only factor that calls to question the suitability of birds as companion animals. The vast majority of birds kept as pets are also fed inadequate seed-only diets and most are never taken to a veterinarian — only 11.7% of bird-owning households currently seek veterinary advice for their birds. It has been estimated that malnutrition is responsible for up to 90% of all clinical conditions seen by avian practitioners.
In addition, evidence suggests that as long as the private ownership of parrots remains socially acceptable and commercial profits persist, the smuggling of parrots for the pet trade will likely continue despite trade restrictions and availability of captive-bred birds. In fact, because captive-bred birds are physically identical to their wild-caught counterparts, the presence of captive-bred birds in the trade actually helps facilitate the wild trade by providing cover for smuggled birds.
When one considers the considerable restrictions captive birds endure, the inadequate diets most are fed, and impact the trade in birds as pets has had on species in the wild, it is easy to conclude that, like other non-domesticated animals, birds are not suitable companion animals.
Each year millions of exotic animals are captured from the wild or produced in captivity for commercial profit or human amusement, only to languish in conditions that fail to meet the instinctive, behavioral, and physical needs of these wild animals. Born Free USA aims to reduce animal suffering by raising public awareness of the cruel and destructive exotic animal trade, by increasing legal protections for captive exotic animals, and by supporting efforts aimed at preserving wildlife's rightful place in the wild.

Born Free USA united with API is an NGO participant at the Meetings of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which regulates commercial international trade of threatened and endangered species.
I agree.
I think the issues raised by Monica are some good ones, though equating parrots to cats is more than a bit like comparing apples to oranges. Dogs, for example, are often "caged" (crated) and that's considered a good management tool. I don't think a cage for a bird is routinely a bad thing. I think how long birds are kept in cages is.
That said, I do think it's cruel to keep birds from flying–and I don't just mean for 5 minutes here or there. And most bird species prefer the company of their own, as do we, after all.
I don't think it's impossible to properly care for a bird as a pet but I do agree that most aren't living in mentally healthful ways. They are too often kept from flying and too often living without the company of their own kind.

Birds should not be pets.
Interesting topic as it applies to me personally. I started becoming a birder about five years ago. Because of my family's allergies to cats and dogs, and my love of birds, it felt natural for my family to get me parakeets for Christmas last year. We really enjoy the four of them and we do all we can to follow the advice of Lisa Shea in our care for them. The birds seem well adjusted, healthy, social with each other and with my family. I had been keeping the wings trimmed because I let them out of their cages everyday, and it was for their own safety. Recently I've let them grow out and I enjoy seeing them fly. Yet, I still feel a little bit conflicted. I cannot replicate their native habitat in Australia and releasing them into the wild's of Idaho would be inappropriate for 10,000 reasons, including almost certain death. I don't know that I can completely resolve my internal conflict on this issue. On principle, I do not support keeping birds as pets, especially the endangered species. Recognizing my own hypocrisy, I will simply carry on and do my best to provide a good life for Mel, Bindi, Nicole, and Russell.
I agree with Monica. Already domesticated animals are one thing (we can't change the past), but I think we should be hands off with everything else. If we really love the creatures as they are, we should leave them as they are–in the wild.
HI Robert,
You are not alone in your conflict. Many question the keeping of birds after they acquire them. I too had birds at one time (I kept them all and provided the best possible care I could until they passed away)
At the end of the article as it appeared on Opposing Views, I included the following disclaimer to address your situation.
"Disclaimer: As expressed in this article birds are non-domesticated animals that belong in the wild where they can fly freely and express their natural behaviors. However, due to the large number of birds living in captivity which cannot be returned to the wild and the limited space available in avian sanctuaries, optimizing care of birds held in private hands can go far in reducing suffering and improving the welfare of captive birds. Tips for optimizing care can be found at http://www.nationalbirdday.org."
Hope this helps.
If one truly loves birds, one must truly understand that it is only in the wild that all birds can live the life they deserve. To capture them as if they were flowers in a vase is the lowest form of adoration. Do NOT buy a bird if you love them, go out and watch them flying. In Wildness is the Preservation of the Earth! (Henry David Thoreau)
I choose not to keep caged birds because I would rather help financially, those birds that are endangered. I support captive breeding of birds, such as we have been reading about the Madagascan Pochards. When a bird is almost extinct, all measures must be considered. eg. When captive breeding is done in conjunction with habitat conservation. It is good to air such an article. I believe the way we treat animals, birds etc will be one of the biggest 'rights' issues this century. The right for all living things to exist!
I had a feeling that disallowing anonymous comments would silence the usual "it's our right to own birds" group: it's a shame though that they don't feel able to join the discussion without giving their real names…Thanks everyone else though!
Monica: Apologies about omitting the disclaimer – I thought that had come from Opposing Views and not yourself. Thanks for the correction.
Marc: Perfectly put as always IMHO!
Brenton: I have to state my admiration for the support you give to conservation campaigns. You were the first to put money into our Spoon-billed Sandpiper 'pot', have been very supportive of our Sharpe's Longclaw work (and everything else we've done actually), and I know you do far more as well. I wish there were far more people around who thought the way that you do.
Everyone thinks that he knows what is best for the birds. The biologist, the conservationist, the wildlife rehabilitator, the falconer, the bird watcher, etc. . . do not all agree, while they all may know quite a lot about birds. We have a hard time understanding behavior of members of our species, after all!
The only avian species with which we have had any opportunity to collect sufficient data on behavior is the chicken. Unfortunately, of chickens, we are in general not so concerned about behavior and quality of life(although there is a subculture who do keep chickens as pets –maybe they should start publishing their observations).
By the way, if the author is going to throw out statistics, she should state from which studies/surveys they come. Likewise, if she is going to make a lot of claims based on her impressions, than she should be clear that they are just her impressions. And we have covered misconceptions about pet trade (at least as they pertain to the States). There is a lot of over-generalization too. Parrots are not all birds. Should mammals be allowed on the furniture?
Don't hate me for disagreeing, but this is just weak.
No-one here will hate you for disagreeing, Sara, that's a promise! 10,000 Birds doesn't – and never will – work like that.
Monica may well answer you later (I have no idea) but she is actually a long-standing expert in the field of avian welfare, and works with welfare experts from all around the world. These aren't 'impressions' I assure you. Perhaps I should have provided a list of references etc but I didn't ask Monica for one, so that's down to me.
However I would like to argue with one of your comments: you say that "We have a hard time understanding behavior of members of our species, after all!" and that's true in general but we have masses and masses of information from innumerable studies showing exactly what happens to people when they are put in solitary isolation in small cages – ask anyone working on penal reform and they'll tell you that's it's not nice at all…
Charlie, thanks for your reply. I do not think that the comparison of the cage to the psychiatric/correctional total institutions is appropriate in all cases, but it does depend on how the owner regards his bird (or let us just take psittacines, for this case). I find that parrots seem to treat their cages as their personal bedroom rather. It is where they want to go when they are upset or to take a nap or when they retire for the evening.
On the other hand, I agree that locking up a lone parrot in the cage at all times is not appropriate. My mother's cockatiel does not have any cage. He has a perch station with toys and such, and he has expanded his territory to include the area above the cabinets too. And that is his "safe place" where he is in charge. Honestly, I suspect that his interesting behavior can be credited in part to the fact that he flies freely around the flat. There is a sub-culture of parrot-keepers who support the "free flight" method. No cages, no clipping . . . of course, there can be accidents this way too.
Nevertheless, anyone who has handled birds for a while either in aviculture or in rehabilitation of wild birds learns quickly that to generalize a class, an order, or even a species in some cases, is to over-generalize, especially when it comes to behavioral traits.
Hi Sara,
Due to the word count restriction and style of "Opposing Views" for which the piece was written, I was not able to include citations. The stats I cite in the article as well as many more that informed the opinion can be found in my paper "The Welfare and Suitability of Parrots as Companion Animals" available here:
Thank you for the link. The article is fragmented, and I do not think that it is worthwhile to address all of my criticisms, but here is a laundry list for starters:
1. The lexicon of pathologies seems to be a synopsis of some of what we have learned as a result of keeping and treating birds, and you even agree. We have learned a good lot about avian nutrition and medicine as a result of aviculture. And avian science programs are sprouting up in American universities, finally!
2. The abolition approach to captive birds will not end illegal trade; regulation of the wild bird trade will have to be a global effort, and that's it.
3. And birds are not like plants. A distressed Angiosperm will flower to chance procreation before death. An unhealthy and unhappy exotic bird, may copulate, but will not manage to procreate, at least not without extreme difficulty and while requiring some intensive assistance. So again, comparing an aviary or bird-cage to a breeding kennel, is not really appropriate.
But I was suspicious particularly about that 90% malnutrition figure. In your article, you reference a manuscript by Dr. G.J. Harrison who also, it seems, failed to qualify the statement "[a]ccording to experienced avian practitioners, malnutrition still underlies up to 90% of all clinical cases . . ." [.doc]. He later writes "[m]any veterinarians with private bird clients and large collections of birds with malnutritional diseases often fail to realize the progress made by manufactured diets in recent years."
This is the same Dr. G.J. Harrison, co-author of Clinical Avian Medicine circulated by HBD publications distributed by and somehow affiliated with Harrisons Bird Products. It is a 2-volume text in which, I would say, authors walk a fine line between presentation of avian veterinary science and manufactured dietary product promotion. Dr. G.J. Harrison obviously has a marketing agenda, so I remain suspicious.
At least his agenda might benefit the birds in captivity. If any policy or legislation precipitated from your agenda, we will have to see what it will do for avian medicine and science and what the bureaucracy does for our captive birds and as well as the people who adore them.
@ Charlie- Do you actually think that requiring the use of my real name is going to scare me away from participating in this discussion? Hardly.
@ Monica- To take anything you have to say about proper care of birds is foolish. We might as well be listening to you ramble on about life on Mars because your knowledge of both subjects is equal. That isn't a personal attack, that is just fact. Myself and others who are considered experienced in the realm of proper bird keeping, aviculture and the pet industry have had a field day defeating you and your friends at every turn. We have made you and your cronies look like incompetents in every legislative meeting and hearing. Your lack of any real practical knowledge of birds has been a great source of humor for all of us. I must tip my hat to you though. You have managed to parlay this lack of knowledge and usefulness into a full time job paid for by the ignorant of which you prey on. Congratulations! Perhaps you can one day explain to us how you manage to sleep at night.
I've had dogs, a cat (discarded kitten found in a dumpster) and 2 Cockatiels (both captive breed, the 1st was a gift and the 2nd was bought as a companion for the 1st). I agree with many of the comments as my opinion is that the majority of people make lousy owners of most animals.
Cats are barely domesticated and they should NEVER be allowed outside but I know many people who equate that with keeping them in a 'cage'. The fact is that there are more than 90 million pet cats in the U.S., the majority of which roam outside at least part of the time. In addition, millions of stray and feral cats roam our cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Scientists estimate that free-roaming cats kill hundreds of millions of birds, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians each year. Cat predation is an added stress to wildlife populations already struggling to survive habitat loss, pollution, pesticides, and other human impacts. Free-roaming cats are also exposed to injury, disease, parasites, getting hit by cars, or becoming lost, stolen, or poisoned. Millions of domestic cats are euthanized each year because there are not enough homes for them. All feral cats need to be either re-homed (indoor only) or euthanized and all domestic cats need to be kept indoors at least during breeding season.
I was quite young when I got the cat and he died at 10 in part because I allowed him outside where he was frequently injured & also picked up diseases. My brother has 2 wild, untrained Rottweiler dogs that should be euthanized–but then my brother is a complete mess and I can't very well suggest that he be euthanized(!). I cared for the birds as best I could–they had free flight, I cooked for them everyday and they saw their vet more than I saw a doc. Still, I failed them due to my own living situation changing. I no longer have pets but I bird as often as possible and that's pretty good.
First off we should not think all parrot species are the same. Cokatiles for example are not the same as cockatoos. I think more knowlege is know about parrots then there was in the 1980s. Some parrot species have been made in pets longer then others (parrot species from Africa and Asia have been pets longer then new world parrots). Dolly Madison had a parrot and we know rich people in Victorian England had parrots. If you wanted to get in a detailed discussion if parrots such as Macaws or Cockatoos should be kept as pets then I would have to say that is more debatable on whether they should be kept as pets. I do not think the cat and bird comaprison make sense. I think pet parrots should know how to fly so they will be more confident. That said maybe the author should not equate trimming wings to things such as declawing a cat, cutting of dog tails (some dog breeds have this done to them). Or how about Central Asian shepherds who have their ears and tails cut off. I do not support primates as pets but it is know some primates can have their teeth and nails pulled out. Bird feathers grown back. On a side note I would be curious to know if the author thinks it is cruel to keep a cat indoors or to kennel up a dog or leave a dog in your house when you are at work? That said birds are not for everyone (but neither are ferrets or dogs). I am sorry if this sounds harsh but if you are not willing to even fix, litter train, take care of a cat but decide to let the cat run free outside then you shouldn't be a pet owner. I owned a hand feed ccokatile and green cheeked conure as a child and they were not stressed out birds. I took them out of their cage everyday, cleaned their cage, and feed and watered them. My cockatile loved sitting on my shoulder and my conure would lay on his back in my hand (he loved to cuddle). However, having seen how some people treat birds I do not think they are not for alot of people. Not only because a person needs to know how to care for them but a person needs to accept noise and scattered food. Not to mention birds like cockatiles and green chheked conures like coming out of their cage and interacting. In honesty my father (who bought me the birds) should not be a bird owner. But he is a no animals in the house person anyways. My regret in life is going to college and leaving them. One reason why I do not have a high view of college. I am petless right now but if I get a house I will be getting a dog and a bird. I share my sister's view in my pets will stay with me and I would not go anywhere without them. In the end of the day not all bird species are the same. I think it would be depressing for a song bird or hummingbird to be kept in a cage. It depends on flying even more then parrot species do. I would put out seed to feed song birds and humming bird feeder for humming birds instead.
I have loved birds since I was a kid, and wanted a parakeet for so long. My first one was given to me when I was 18, and lived a happy life with me until she was 13 years old. I hand-tamed her and let her fly free often. She bonded with me like another bird. Since then, I have had other birds too, but over time I have come to realize how unfair it is to these lovely creatures to be kept as "pets." Yes, so many are cared for well, socialized, loved, and do live happy lives, but so many aren't. People have a basic non-understanding of birds, and I have seen them crowded in small cages, fed poorly, with drinking water placed beneath them so it is fouled by their droppings, etc. I have learned that inbreeding to get pretty colors has resulted in poor health and the tendency for parakeets to get cancer. So now I haven't had a parakeet live past 5 years. I keep two parakeets right now, but mainly because I figure if they are going to be sold in this country, at least a percentage need to end up in caring homes. I got one from a pet store that had them in glass tank, with cockatiels, and this poor boy had a respiratory illness when I brought him home, probably due to the 'tiel dust. He has been hard to tame down, and never became hand tame, but when someone wanted to buy a bird at that store, they would chase them around and around the glass tank until they caught the right one for the customer. He is still hand shy. His first week here, he ate all day long, as he obviously was not getting enough at the store. My other bird was given to me. I think she was raised in an aviary. She goes stir crazy pretty much daily, wanting to get out, and it is a pretty large cage I have them in. She just has a heart to be free. I can see it, and I feel awful for her. These two are not hand tame, so I do not allow them out, and if I did, I think she would make for a window. She just wants to be free outside with the birds she sees out there. My birds are not a bonded pair, and mostly tolerate each other, so no worries they will breed. In conclusion, I do love birds, but that is why I would wholeheartedly support a law that prohibits any new breeding or selling of caged birds in this country. Let the ones already here live out their lives, because, well, what else can we do? But I think it is time anyone who really loves birds realizes that they are meant to be free, that our breeding them as pets is hurting them, and our selling them to anyone with the money to buy one (or more) is too often subjecting them to cruelty or neglect. If such a law can't be passed, then definitely some kind of permit should be required– education, and adequate housing and diet, too. Hope this was not too long.
Janie, the first bird I had was a budgie from WalMart. I was able to tame him. I personaly find it sad there are birds being sold in pet stores because they live in poor conditions. There are enough birds that I feel people can adopt or find a breeder. A seriouse bird breeder would hate the condition mot birds at pet stores are kept in. Also considering forest (many parrot species habitat are being cut down) it may be best there are breeders breeding many different parrot species. I think birds see more colors but captive birds seem to bond with their species that will produce color mutations.
Dear Monica,
I completely disagree with this article. The amount of ignorance by the person who wrote this article was too much to handle. Who are you to say house parrots and birds are deprived. Have you ever owned a parrot, or felt the companionship that comes with them. To parrots you are not their owner, you are their family, their flock. You can say the same thing that dogs are deprived of the wild and hunting. These birds were bred in captivity for YEARS. You cannot just let them go by opening your doors and letting them be "free" the only thing that will lead to is starvation and being eaten by animals. Birds are not deprived of socialization and flying. My parrot is social with all members of my family and friends, and is allowed to fly free through the house at this own will. There are also bird leashes you can use to take your parrot outside for walks. Do not say birds are deprived and that it is a bad thing for them to be in homes. They are family not just little animals we look at for enjoyment. And if you do say that they are not supposed to birds in homes, why are people allowed to have dogs, cats, fishes they are animals too, right? You are a hypocrite, since you wrote this article while in your profile picture you are shown with ur dogs "who are ever so deprived of freedom and socialization" this is the most ignorant article I have ever read and I'm utterly disgusted by it.
Stop being such a mean person. Have you ever thought of the birds point of view, I doubt it.
Dear Monica,
I totally agree with your article. I have to pet birds at home and we let them fly in our sunroom for about 1 hour every day. So maybe if you give them enough freedom maybe you could keep them as pets because they make wonderful pets.
Saying birds can only be happy in the wild is like saying humans can only be happy living naked in trees; birds are brilliant, adaptable beings that have just as varying personal desires and personalities as we do, and I feel that generalizing to such a degree is nothing short of a misguided insult to their intelligence.
I like birds! I like birds!
i like birds too and megan sounds like a bitch
Stop being stupid bob. Nobody here really cares.

We won't know which film wins the Best Picture award at this year's Oscars until Feb. 24, but Nielsen knows which genre won over the most moviegoers in 2012: action/adventure. According to Nielsen NRG's 2012 American Moviegoing report, 61 percent of U.S. moviegoers indicated that action/adventure movies are the ones they like to see the most in theaters. After action/adventure, comedy (50%) and sci-fi/fantasy (42%) emerged as the second- and third-favorite movie theater genres.
While the best picture nominees span four different genres, only two fall into the action/adventure category: Life of Pi and Django Unchained. The other Best Picture nominees spanned the drama, romantic comedy and musical genres, which were favored among 32, 31 and 12 percent of moviegoers, respectively.
While some movies are harder to define by genre than others, this year's Best Picture nominees are:
The 2012 American Moviegoing report also analyzed fanship by race/ethnicity and found interesting differences among this year's four Best Picture genres:

Have you seen the video the girl who accidentally burned her hair off in a curling tutorial? Epic fail, huh?
Mujeres, this is just a blunt reminder of how we should care for our cabellos. Remember that turning your flat iron or curling iron above 250-400 degrees (depending on whether you have finer or coarser hair) is a no-no—and always, always use a heat protector! Celebrity hair stylist Derek J also advises to try using irons only once a week.

HOUSTON - Houston homicide detectives are trying to figure out how a woman ended up dead in a popular Houston hotel.
Investigators said the woman was found dead by hotel staff inside her hotel room at the Hyatt North Houston hotel in the 400 block of North Sam Houston Parkway near Imperial Valley.
Houston police said a man and woman checked into the hotel sometime Thursday afternoon. The man checked out just before 6 a.m. the next morning, without the woman, investigators said.
Witnesses told police they'd seen the man and woman arguing at some point.
Investigators said employees came into the room to clean up Friday afternoon, but left when they noticed the woman lying on the floor. They came back a little later, only to find the woman still lying on the floor, police said. That's when the employee decided something must be wrong and called police, officials said.
So far, no arrests have been made in the case and the victim's name hasn't been released.
Anyone with information is asked to call police.

1951 Kaiser Willys Nederlandse Kaiser Fabriek 2.2 from Netherlands
The gearbox replaced, is a weak part of the car because of the power from the engine on it.
Rear suspension, I drive a bit rough with this car :)
General Comments:
In rough terrain it is the best.
It likes to drink petrol a lot!
A fun car to drive, a classic.
It has never let me down, it is a reliable car for its age and it is easy to repair it by yourself (you don't have to study for it, just lots of love and time).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 1st February, 2000
23rd Sep 2004, 04:21
I really like that the review of this car is on this site. The official name of this car is "willy's Overland M38 A1" or "Nekaf". Nekaf stands for "Nederlandse Kaiser Fabriek".
I believe the remark about the gearbox is false. Most of the time why the gearboxes are damaged is because of its age and because rough driving in terrain. Sometimes people even put the wrong oil in the gearbox.
I think the weak points are the steering parts that results in shimmying of the car, but all problems are relative easy to repair. It's a lovely car as a first car to learn about car technics. All parts are very easy to reach.
Very good review on this car!!
23rd Jul 2006, 22:57
I learned how to drive a stick on a 1955 Willy's Pickup. The un-sync meshed first was a pain, but I learned to double clutch because of it. That gearbox was nearly indestructible, but not that clutch. It was slow, and was very thirsty, but God it could clime up the worst roads in the mountains of Colorado. It was part goat.

The Fort Sill motor pool in 1966 had one Willys Jeep left and since no one else wanted it I could pretty much check it out as my own. Trying, as only a 19 year old knucklehead can, to blow-up the'Hurricane Four' I came to nought. The transmission, however, was a three speed with standard 'H' pattern. As a newly- minted NCO my POV (Privately Owned Vehicle) was a spiffy new Datsun Roadster four speed with first in the same position as the Jeep's reverse. This lead to a few embarrassing instances of inadvertent reverse burnouts at base stop signs but the Jeep continued to thrive. At last word (2002) it was pulling a wagon somewhere in Kansas...

Textbooks: a
new American
by Steve HarriS'
Fall did not come to Kanawha County
in the usual way this year. Normally
it is a quiet place, a peaceful community
of coal mines and middle-class Americans
settled into the hills of West Virginia.
But turmoil has erupted in the
last eight weeks, complete with firebombed
elementary schools and shootings.
What has caused this violence? It is
being called the "Textbook Controversy,"
and at its heart are the use of
about a dozen supplementary high school
textbooks that have been denounced by
their critics as "anti-Christian, anti-country'
and pro-Communist," and . praised
by their supporters as "opening up the
minds of the students."
Battle lines were drawn last spring
when Alice Moore, wife of a Baptist
minister, organized an effort to ban the
books. The protestors condemned the
books' material as "subversive pornography"
(such as the poem • 'I like my
body when it is with your body" by
e.e. cummings), and as "anti-Christian"
(exemplified, they said, by black poet
Gwendolyn Brooks' verse, "I think it
must be lonely to be God-Nobody loves
a master . ... . )."
Their actions led to a boycott, a general
industrial strike, and in the last
month, open' violence. But the significance
of the struggle spreads beyond
West Virginia; it faces teachers, administrators,
and parents across the country.
Since Bethel College annually trains
many for the educational field, the Clari·
on asked Professor of Education Dwaine
Lind for his views on the • 'Textbook
Controversy.' ,

Let/s get a full-time
coach f!orl forensics
The occasion of the last Twin City Debate League Tournament
and the fact that Bethel placed fourth in the tourney
(out of 29 schools), raises again for us this question: why
don't we have a program in debate and forensics?
We have the student talent for a tremendous program.
Last year the Clarion bemoaned the fate of Bob Moeller
and Tom Addington, Minnesota State High School debate
champs, who were promised a debate program if they came
to Bethel and who received - nothing.
This year we bemoan the fact that there are students .
here competent enough to win laurels in oral interp and public
speaking - who · cannot be afforded the privilege of a formal
Not to minimize the role of Doc Rainbow (he's carrying
forensics coaching as an overload and drama is really his
thing), why can't we get a full-time coach for debate and forensics?
The time spent in coaching these activities is considerable;
in particular, a debate coach must commit much
time to research for his team. However, a full time faculty
member who would spend half his time coaching and half
of it teaching (a reasonable task, according to informed
sources) would seem to fit the bill.
The merits of training students in public .speaking and
analytical argumentation should be obvious to a community
committed to Christian higher education. And a student
body which has increased by nearly 15 percent in the past
year (from 1808 students to 1467) certainly merits a pro·
portionate raise in the number of faculty (perhaps we should
qualify that to say, if we don't raise the number of faculty,
at least we should raise the salaries and departmental bud·
gets of the present faculty in proportion to the rise in the
cost of living).
It all comes down to this: where does the money of
"Bethel College and Seminary" go? How much goes to the
Seminary and how much comes to the College? Which programs
receive the most financial support? In the next few
weeks, we will be researching this area thoroughly and reporting
our results back to the Bethel community. We hope
you'll be as concerned about this issue as we are.

Dear Editor,
A couple of weeks ago an editorial was run stating that
we need to vote and support candidates whom we have
evaluated through an informed analysis of their voting record
and not primarily on whether or not they are Christian.
The following week a letter by me was run stating that
in our analysis of a candidate's voting record and platform
is where our "Christian mind" is to make its impact felt.
This concept, it has been pointed out, is particularly vague.
The following outline is put forth as a means of providing
a handle whereby the "Christian mind" can grasp the spirit
of the candidate, in an effort to foster meaningful analysis.
1. Does the candidate base his campaign to a large extent
on the weakness of his opponent? Is he "mud slinging?" ,
2. Does the candidate have a politic,al program based
on sound principles which he is determined to work out
despite the difficulties, or pragmatic necessity? (For example,
avoid a candidate who would say' " Equal aid to parents
of children in a Christian school is a nice idea, but I don't
see how it could ever be worked out.")
3. Does the candidate operate out of a pluralistic idea
of equal rights and representation to the people of every
religious or heart-direction regardless of their economic power?
(Check his concern for minority group rights and interests
before a riot. ) ,
4.· Will the candidate be influenced by vested interest?
5. Check the candidate's campaign expenditures. Does
he gain his pUblicity from money and a hard-seil approach
rather than his principles and his record? (Write him directly
for a record of his expenses, or check the Congressional
Record or the Secretary of State office of your state.)
6. Avoid the candidate who always spouts the party line
and has no political philosophy and ideas of his own.
7. Check the voting and absentee records in the legislatures
for incumbent candidates. (Check the Congressional
Record, newspaper reports, U.S. News and World BeP?rt
for U.S. Congressmen. Check your Secretary of State offIce
for records of state representatives. Also consider how much

Bethel places' fourth in TCDL tourney
Larr~ Jacobs carried away top honors in poetry competition
and Steve Jergenson took second place in poetry and
fourth place in prose in the Twin City Debate League tournament
October 22. Eleven Bethel students and one Dr. Rainbow
participated in the event, which was attended by 29
colleges and universities.
Bethel placed fourth among the schools in competition.
Mankato State College placed first with 16 points; the University
of River Falls, Wisconsin, placed second with 13;
and Macalester third with 13. Bethel was awarded 10' points.
"The team which we sent was basically composed of
novice people," explained Dr. Rainbow. "I think as a result _
of this contest the students got a ~eal feel for the stiff
competition of the tournament circuit. We have a group of
super-talented kids who are committed and determined to
make Bethel competitive in this area."
The Bethel forensics team will compete in four other
tournaments this semester: the Mankato State College contest
November 1; the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater
tournament November 15 and 16; and another TCDL tourney
November 18; finishing perhaps with the nation's largest
forensics tournament - the Bradley University tournamentNovember

they are in touch with the people whom they represent.)
8. Choose a candidate who is guided by his conscience
(to the extent that it is guided by Scriptural norms) , and a
sense of justice, rather than what is good for his political
9. Determine whether the candidate understands that separation
of church and state DOES NOT mean separation of
religion and state.
10. Does the candidate recognize an authority beyond
man? (This should include his going against "the will of the
people" if the case in point is unjust.
11. - To what extent is the candidate sensitive to God's
laws for justice and liberty? (Read Amos, Ezekiel, Joel,
the pre-exile prophets.)
12. Make your own additions to the list and let us know,
. keep us informed, we need to work together . •
Hopefully this li'st will benefit those who want to vote
responsibly. Needless to say, voting is not as easy as

A community is something very difficult to grasp on
to, or observe. The term is around in ; lass rooms' in arm
chair discussions, and even in spontaneous gatherings in coffee
shops Or recreation rooms. Late last Sunday night, a group
of students converged in Edgren lounge to discuss its (the
community's) very exist~nce at Bethel.
"I don't really see a community at Bethel," one brother
exclaimed, "What's wrong with Bethel?" (I wonder how many
times those famous words have been proclaimed.) Another
guy later on in the discussion explained his feelings toward
community in this way: "It is non-existent! I think this
community will never exist." When we talk of life together
are we discussing a feeling, some kind of comraderie that
pulls us like a magnet to each other? .
"I'd like to really lay it on them - get out in front
of the people of Bethel during chapel and . give them a piece
of my mind," one girl exclaimed. "Yet," she concluded,
"it would do nothing." How many times. have we felt like
this about our community when we stop ' and observe the
needy people around us? This gathering of students in Edgren'
although spontaneous and unannounced, seemed to represent
many of OUr own sentiments about community life this year.
The question in which they were engrossed was the role '
or part each one of us can play with each other in this
gathering of people. Is community something we can observe
as if it was in a box, an- entity or object? Is
it an end in and of itself, or is it a feeling that comes
over us as we pray and share together on Tuesday nights,
or in a chapel experience? The feeling of community must
be separated from what community is. If it is something
that is continually searched for, it will always be outside
our group.
Community then is not a feeling, it is not a wish or
dream, it is a reality. But what does a community consist
of? It js a living- body of interactions and relationships.
Yet, it will only be as strong as each member allows
it to be. This makes relationships the key to ·a strong community.
Only hard work, energy, and a deep desire to commit
ourselves t~ each other will make community what we want
it to' be. There are no short cuts!
This puts the responsibility on each individual to be in
right relationship to God an~ to each other. As stated in
Matt. 5 :23-24, we must go to a brother or sister if there
are walls between us. If bridges need to be built we should
not be afraid to confess our sins before each other and
God. Games are not in God's plan for us. He wants us
to be real people and be free to be ourselves. Too often
brother-sister-student-teacher relations need to be re-checked
through the Holy Spirit to see if they are right in His eyes.
Let's pray about quitting our games!
If we honestly seek and strive to work out Ol-!r relationships
through a servant's perspective, God will certainly
bless us. He will begin to show us more of His creative
alternatives in relationships as brothers and sisters. He will '
make us more aware of individuals who are alone and need
our care. He might even drop us in on some spontaneous
encounters with brothers and sisters that vve so desperately
want and need.
Don't ride along in a Christian commullity for the comfort
it will bring you. l\'1ake the community a means not an
end to which we can reach people with the claims , of Christ.
Will . the church of the twentieth century reflect an attitude
of "isn't the fellowship great?" Will the world be
breaking the walls down to get in? Our attitude toward
establishing relationships in this community will re~lect the
church's effectiveness in the world tomorrow.

How will the .Watergate
i!1cident affect you r vote?
by Rhonda Dy:e
This past year has been a devastating and crucial point
in the history of American politics. The events surrounding
'the Watergate incident raise many questions as to the
effect it has had on the American political psyche. On
November, 5 many citizens will express their political favor
in state elections across the country. In an effort to determine
how Bethel students will respond to the upcoming elections
in light of the Watergate affair, the Clarion staff
. decided to make an inquiry among its constituents.
The question: How will the Watergate incident affect your
, vote?
John Kramer (sophomore): "Watergate will not affect my
vote. Just because some'Republicans
acted wrongly, does not
mean all RepUblicans will."
Steve Unruh (freshman): "No, Watergate will not affect
my vote; because this type of
thing has always been going on.
Watergate was just stretched out
by the media."
Judy Whittaker (sophomore) : "Watergate will not affect my
vote because I vote for the man
not the .party."
Jack ESSlinger (senior): "It's had a positive affect on
me; it has aroused, me to the
fact , that we do have a say.
I have become more politically
conscious.' ,
Larry Caldwell (sophomore): "I don't care what happens now
that Nixon is out."
Tim Nyberg (senior): "Watergate has made me skeptical
of the whole political process.
What can be concluded from such a diversity of answers?
Some of the respondents declared that Watergate will not
make any difference in their politic'al behavior. Others indicated
that Watergate has had a healthy, positive affect on
them, causing them to become more discerning and politically
aware. For some, the incidents surrounding the 1972
presidential election resulted in disillusionment and pessi-
, mism. Sucb a variety of responses makes it difficult to predict
the direction of political behavior. Perhaps, the results
of the upcoming elections will provide us with some answers.
Symposium II: What can a
Christian contribute to the
field of fine arts?
by Dale Johnson
Assistant Professor of Art
Contributions to the "field of fine arts"
can be made not only by Christians
who are artists, but by all Christians
as a natural part of their daily lives.
As believers, we are possessed of an
abiding truth and hope which is most
often expressed only in words; what
we need is lively expression of our faith
in visual image as well.
Our visual tradition in the Evangelical
faith is needy and sparce. Dr. A. Brown,
pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church, spoke
in chapel last week developing the image
of Jesus as "J unkman" - someone who
chooses to use junk to build His kingdom.
Visually speaking, if I may use this
image, evangelicals are at the bottom
of this heap of junk. We have denied
the use of the image in our churches
as an ever-continuing reaction to the
excesses of the Catholic Church of the
Reformation era. Today the Catholics
have been leaders in expressing spiritual
truths through lively, visual symbolism,
/ while we fall far behind in this area.
(Perhaps ours is the ideal environment
for perceptive individuals to respond to
this pressing need.)
It is our God-given responsibility to
use the realm of visual image to enrich
and deepen our experience with life.
Many evangelicals are too casual about
their viewing activity - they think little
of their Christian responsibility to be
aware of God's creation or the creations
of His created, or to think through what
this can mean to us.
There's so much more that could be
done to enhance our visual experience,
even within our churches. The colors
and surfac~s of the walls in our buildings
are not given enough thought. We give
cosmetic treatments to -their interiors.
The visual materials which we feed to
our children in Sunday School are not
meant to enhance this experience, either.
For example, the use of coloring books
in lessons is one of the quickest ways
to ruin a child's creativity.
As for the Christian student in art,
or the Christian artist} he would do
well to contemplate the statement of
W.H. Auden, "'Why do you want to
write poetry?' If the young map answers,
'I have important things I want to say,'
then he is not a poet. If he answers,
'I like hanging around words listening
to what they say,' then maybe he is
going to be a poet.' " The artist's influence
on the communication of the Christian
message does not come through a blatant
statement of that message in his
art. It comes through being a Christian.
The responsibility of the Christian artist
is to learn skillfully to handle the visual
' elements, and to develop a personal understanding
of the language of vision.
Some may ask "Is this training Christian
by nature?" I would answer that this
training is Christian, as it all stems
from the study of God's creation and
all mankind is influenced by this.
At the point at which an artist becomes
competent in his craft, he will begin
to reach a feedom of expression for
which others, Christian and non-Christian,
will respect him. When people see quality
in his work they will begin to trust
him as an individual and open their
hearts to the kind of life he is leading
as a Christian.
The field of visual fine arts should
certainly be a medium through which
to communicate our faith. Awareness
of the visual realm is something for
which all we Christians' must take more
* * *
by Guy Chase, Art Major
To answer the question, "What can
a Christian contribute to the field of
fine arts?" - I would ha ve to consider
the question, "What can an artist contribute
to the Kingdom of God?'" The
usual answer to the second question is:
"Well, there are plenty of opportunities
for Christian artists, in religious magazine
illustration or maybe church bulletin
covers or even children's Sunday
School weeklies. One could also do illustrated
versions of the Living Bible
or a cartoon version of the four spirituallaws.
There are any number of opportunities
for the right-on Christian artist."
If this is the only answer to the se-cond
question then there is very little
that a Christian can contribute to the
fine arts.
It is a tough thing for an artist to
paint the message of Jesus on a ca~vas.
Pictures of Christ on the cross
or Christ off the cross have been overdone.
They no longer even carry the
Christian message to the secular world
(if they ever did), let alone contain
the interest to be put up in a modern
art gallery.
So what can a Christian contribute
to the field of fine arts? It is doubtful
that he can paint a picture that
will give the viewer the "warm fuzzies."
Nor can he build a sculpture that
will cause the instant conversion of its
But there is a whole world of visual
awareness that God has created that
the Christian can try to present to the
Christian community or to the public
in general. I don't think that an abstract
or non-objective painting is Satanic just
because my evangelical pastor doesn't
understand it. But to help him or anyone
else understand would take sacrifice
on his or their part. There is purpose
and order to these forms of painting
and it should be understood.
Presenting God's visual designs to people
is only one contribution. There is
a whole culture of artists who need
Jesus. Because of the evangelical Christians'
lack of awareness in the visual
realm these people have been neglected.
In order to reach this sub-society a
Christian artist would have to meet the
standards of high-caliber art that is accepted
there. There cannot be any superficial
Sunday SchOOl attempts to dazzle
them with fine Christian art .
. The art would probably not even be
able to be' called Christian art, if Christian
art is that which is supposed to
convert pagans. But if Christian art is
just art that is done by Christian artists
then there is a greater possibility
of self-expression and visual creativity.
With this may come a greater acceptance
into the field of fine art.
I think that it is important to . note
that so-called Christian art can be either
good or bad. The Chrisian label doesn't
guarantee holiness. So it is important
that a Christian artist does good art.
In this God may be glorified, as long
as the artst doesn't take all the glorification
himself. (This is a problem with
many Christian artists.) But it is important
that the Christian strive towards
good art (whatever that may be seems
A Christian artist does not always contribute
these things to the fine arts.
But it sh~uld be his obligation. The
continued o'n page six
symposium, continued from page
art field is a tough field for the dedicated
Christian to be in, mainly because
it is a relatively new frontier to the
evangelical. There is not a whole lot
of advice to follow. Neither are there
many experienced, free-lance artists who
have it all together on how to glorify
God in the contemporary art scene.
As I see it there are these three
goals to aim at as a Christian artist:
First, to help enlighten people (Christians)
to an awareness of God's own
creativity; second, to have my own life
be a witness in the fine arts world;
third, to do good art - to God's glory
- because he is the one who has made
me an artist. These are the objectives
and I feet these are the contributions
to be made.

Jessu.p calls u.s. courts
catalyst of. social change'
by Rhonda DYie
"Courts in the United States can be
and often are agents of social change,"
said Dwight Jessup at the Pi Gamma
Mu lecture last Tuesday evening. Jessup
pointed out that "by virtue of their power
and broad jurisdiction" the courts can
exercise great influence in American life.
Because "social issues occupy judicial
dockets, the courts become reflectors,
consolidators, legitimizers, and even initiators
of change in American society,"
stated Jessup. He used the Warren Court
(1953-1969) as . an example of a judiciary
body involved in social activism. The
decisions set forth by the Warren Court
were dominated by a concern for the
right of the individual. As an agency
of social change, the Warren Court provided
access to governmental authority
for the 'politically and socially alienated
who often found little response from the
executive and legislative branches. This
"thrust for equalitarianism" is evidenced
in the major changes wrought in the
areas of racial equality, individual rights
"'in criminal proceedings, the expansion
of political freedoms and religious liberties.
Although the courts have great poten-
. tial as advocates of social change, they
can be greatly limited. "In the first
place, personnel on the bench are not
permanent. Secondly, the courts can be
severely hampered by institutional weaknesses;
they do not have the power
to solicit cases and they have no power
to enforce their decisions. Thirdly, the
judicial process only gives access to
those who have standing and who can
afford the often high cost of litigation,"
stated Jessup.
"Despite all this, the courts remain
as potentially important instruments of
social change," concluded Jessup.
Student respondents to the lecture were
Carol Anker berg and Don Reed. Miss
Ankerberg congratulated Jessup for his
fine paper. She also raised the question
as to what the proper role of the court
should be. Should it be an instigator
of change, or should it serve as a check
on the political process?
Don Reed commented that he agreed
with Jessup that the courts were instruments'
of change, because they shaped
government policy. He, too, raised the
question of the proper role of the courts.
Can the United States afford to let courts
operate as a source for social change,
or do they need to serve as a check
for the citizen:cr?
Jessup responded by saying that the
courts were both a judicial and political
body. They win have to play a role
in the social questions if the legislature
does not ' institute social change' even
though court precedents may ?e sacrificed.
The next Pi Gamma Mu lecture will
be given the third Tuesday in November
by Don Belton. His topic will be Social
WeUare: A Change.

On Wednesday, November 6, many
Chris'tians across the nation will join
the Bethel community in a Day of Prayer
for the school, according to Campus Pas:..
tor Maurice ,Lawson. Churches in the
Baptist General Conference and friends
of Bethel, as well as students, faculty
and administration, . will be asked to pray
~specially for the sale of the old campus,
the financing ' of the buildings on New
Campus and the coming of the new
Chapel will involve the presen.tation
of various needs' of Bethel by members
of the Bethel community. The day will
also be divided into 30-minute prayer
periods, from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.,
during which everyone is invited to the
prayer chapel. Request sheets will be
available, which will indicate student requests
as well as those of the s'Chool,
and someone will be in the chapel for
each half-hour period to lead the prayer
time. The departments and staff are
encouraged to pray as groups.
"Teachers will be asked to set aside
a time in each class to share needS
and pray, and R.A.'s and dorm leaders
are also encouraged to have a time
when a floor or townhouse can meet
and pray for the needs of its members
and the school," Pastor Lawson said.
Finally, each person in his own way
is urged · to remember Bethel's and his
own needs in prayerl and to try to
strengthen his personal and devotional
life through a time with God.

Senate cuts hockey club
support; club $385 in red
by Mary Norton
A few years ago, the hockey club
received such a large amount of financial
help from the Student Senate that
they coundn't use it and returned it
to the Student Associaion. Now' the same
source is decreasing its backing.
In the course of two weeks, a resolution
calling for a $200 appropriation from
the General Activities Fund to the Bethel
}.lockey Club was introduced, moved to
be tabled, and seconded to be tabled
- but the tabling motion proved unsuccessful.
The bill was then discussed,
again moved to be tabled, seconded to
be tabled and finally tabled by a vote
of 11-7. The Final'lce Committee was
• then asked to consider this bill at their
next meeting. At the October 22 meeting
of the- Senate, the Finance Committee
submitted a second bill appropriating
$150 to the hockey club, and rationale
was given for this bill. One senator
felt the $200 amount should be retained,
and an amendment to change the amount
textbooks, continued from page
one, or is this a struggle which other
school systems will be facing in the
Mr. Lind: I think many have faced
this problem' and they will continue to
do so.
0: Do you believe that the trend in
public school curriculum is toward what
they ,are calling "anti-religious', anti-authoritarian"
L: As areas become more multi-religious,
school boards are going to be faced
with a wider spectrum of what the parents
will accept. One vocal parent in
a small community can make a large
fuss. I do think there is a trend toward
sterilizing the whole educational system.
But ,God can't be removed from it, He's
too pig.
0: Do you feel it is the responsibility
of the Ohristian teacher to criticize,
and even refuse to use, what they might
consider anti-Ohristian material, even if
,it is recommended by the school board?
L: If I were teaching in that setting,
I would not choose to use the books.
But if I was forced to, I could still
express my views to my students. I
think we have to realize that a public
of the first bill to $150 was moved,
seconded and passed. The amended bill
was called and passed with a voice
Throughout most of these Senate proceedings,
Mike Egelston, the goalie and
self-appointed guardian angel of the hockey
club, looked on in confused dismay.
"It was disheartening to see the Senate
psyched up about the possibility of giving
us more than $200 in their discussion.
It seemed as if they cut back
their financial support on the basis of
other organizations that needed financial
help. But what can we say? They gave
us money and we appreciate it."
On October 30 the $150 down payment
was due in order for the hockey club
to join the St. Paul Park and Recreation
Senior Men's League. Now the hock-ey
club must come up with an additional
$385 to break even. It is cQsting the
club $475 to pay a $60 insurance debt
from last year , and to play 14 league
games on "reasonably-priced ice." This
school is not be an institution 'Of religious
training, though.
0: Turning to tbe issue of student freedom,
is it the goal of ,the teacher, and-or
the textbook to teach a pupil what
to think or how to think1f
L: It's obvious that we're to teach students
how to think. But there is a great ·
deal of discussion now about "value clar-
"One vocal parent in
a small community can

ification." If a teacher accepts that idea,
he first shows the student what values
he has, then he shows him what choices
are available. The teacher provides alternatives'
in a sense. The problem is,
h9w do we teach values?
0: One mother in West Virginia stated,
"If my daughter reads those books in
her high school, by the time she graduates
she'll no longer believe in God."
Is that a fair assessment of the power
of a textbook?
L: No, and I think that's a good example
of diminishing the power of God.
, amount does not include any allowance
for equipment, insurance, uniforms or
transportation. But the hockey club does
not seem to mind. They have provided
all their own equipment and transportation
in the past and will probably
attempt to do so in the future.
When asked how the hockey club will
raise money to pay the $385 deficit due
On January 1, Mike replied, "Nobody ever
seeks us out. We will contact businessmen
because we know that students can't
afford to support us. We need ideas
to raise money and fund raising is not
easy to do."
The athletic department has agreed
to help in any way it can other than
financially. That means they will probably
help with tape and other training
Meanwhile, Mike looks towards other
sources. Art Hage is a big supporter ..
of the Bethel Hockey Club and has been
for many years. "More than anything
else, he's given us encouragemet:lt. We
will n.ever be able to repay him."
A hockey schedule of anticipated games
will be available soon. In the meantime
Mike stresses the fact that" all hockey
games are free," and that the hockey
club would be glad to have a little
audience encouragement.
0: There are two sides in the con~roversy:
the p'eople who want to ban the
books and those -who say they should
be used. If you were teaching in West
Virginia, which side would you be on?
~: I hope I'd be in the middle; there
are over-reactions in both views_ Some
parents should realize that if we give
the Christian teacher the right to share
his beliefs, then we have to give the
same right to the atheist, the Buddhist,
etc. The result has to be neutrality.
o : At the head IOf this protest is a
,group of "fundamentalist" ministers. Do
you believe it is the right place for
a church and-or its clergy to become
involved in educational policy?
L: I don't want to take that right away
from them, although I do object to some
of the methods of protest. For example,
if we were to remove everything that
isn't Christian from the Bethel library,
we'd end up with a lot of empty Shelves.
0: How, important is the struggle going
on ' in West Virginia? What effects will
it have?
L: It can be a useful thing. Every
teacher and Board of Education will
probably start looking at their textbooks
a lot closer. But a good deal of fear,
especially among the parents, is present
and that is harmful.

home court.
ine, the Bethel A team will have an
away game with Concordia, Tuesday,
November 5 at 7 p.m. and another home
game with Augsburg, Thursday, November
7 at 7 p.m.
The Royals lost the game because of
penalties. "The referee called two penalties
on us," sa~teve Jergenson, captain
of the Roy-als. "The first one happened
when----tnere was a mix-up in front
of our goal. One of St. Thomas'forwards
handed the . ball, but . the referee blew
the whistle and called tripping on us.
He was unable to say who committed
the infraction, . but called the penalty
anyway. On the second penalty our goalie
was called for pushing." Both penalties
were effective and eventually won the
game 3-1.
"It should be a good game," said
Coach Tricia Brownlee, physical education
instructor. St. Catherine holds a
7-0 record.
"We'd like to see lots of people come
to the games. Most people don't realize
the real skill and competition involved
in Women's Sports," Miss Brownlee said.
Bethel's team is well into their season.

Tomorrow, Northland College will be at Bethel for the
Royals' final gridiron clash of the season. Coach Charles
Reynolds described the Lumberjacks from Wisconsin as "big,

Warren should pose the biggest threat for the Royals. According
to Reynolds, Warren was last year's third leading
small-college rusher in the nation.
Northland is also strong defensively, having returned eight

Last Saturday, October 26, the Bethel cross country
team traveled to LeMars, Iowa, to run in the Tri-State
Conference meet. Each' of the six conference teams was
allowed to send their top seven runners to compete at the
Conference meet, with Bethel determining its seven participants
on the basis of previous meets performances this
Westmar's team, fifth in the nation in the NAIA nationals
last year, and also returning Conference champ,
was the overwhelming favorite. (Last year Westmar dominated
the Conference meet by taking the top seven places.)
Predictions had Bethel getting second place overall, the same
as last year.
The five niile race was run at the LeMars Country

Royals 2-3 in T ri-State,
me:et No,rt'hland in fin,ale
by Curtis Kregness
After two encouraging conference victories over Concordia
and Sioux Falls, the Royals were shocked by Westmar, nipped
by Yankton, and handed a final humbling defeat by Northwestern
last Saturday.
What possibly hurt even more than the 35-14 score was
the fact that Sioux Falls rose up to clobber Westmar 34-20,
leaving those two teams and Bethel tied for third place with
identical 2-3 Tri-State Conference records. Northwestern took
its perennial first-place honors with an unblemished five-win
record, followed by Yankton in second place with four
wins and one loss. Concordia brought up the rear, losing its
fifth conference contest to Yankton, 51-0.
Despite the Royals' bitter demise as a team in
conference competition, individual efforts shone brightly. With
one conference game remaining, statistics showed that Bethel's
Kim Walker was a strong second in conference pass
receptions and individual scoring. Walker had scored Jive
touchdowns, carrying 16 receptions for 147 total yards.
John Holine was second in conference passing as of
October 19, having completed 28 of 66 attempts for 298
yards. In punting, Holine could claim the longest punt -
66 yards in the Westmar game - and was third best punter
in the conference, with 27 punts for 882 yards, a 32.6-
yard average.
In Saturday's game at Northwestern Collegel the Royals
were shut out until the fourth quarter. Then, in a rallying
effort, Bethel moved into Northwestern territory and Holine
scored on a four-yard touchdown run. Minutes later, Walker
highlighted the game with an 80-yard punt return for Bethel's
second and final touchdown.
Mark Rapinchuk and Larry Rocholl combined for almost
100 yards on the ground, while Holine and Scott LOgan passed
for the remainder of the Royals' 167 total yards. The Red

Free agent linebacker Nick Barnett is visiting the nation's capital, and not to go sightseeing.
Barnett will visit Washington and take a physical today, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
One of just three players remaining on our Free Agent Hot 100 who hasn't yet signed with a team, Barnett started all 16 games for the Bills in each of the last two seasons.
Washington has been looking to add some veteran depth at linebacker, and Barnett would fit the bill.

The World's Greatest Jack and Coke/
Now just hear me out.
Back in July, out of semi-desperation, I bought a pre-bottled, pre-mixed, $11 Jack and Coke from a vendor at a Mets (again, just hear me out!) game. It was surprisingly good, actually rather delicious, with no chemical sheen to the taste and a proper balance of liquor and cola. I noticed, perhaps for the first time, that Jack Daniel's is well suited to the and-Coke genre. Bourbons almost blend in too well, with too much overall roundness to the highball; rye whiskeys can work but can also go down scratchy. Jack and Cokes are smooth up front and finish with a pleasantly peculiar, sour twist. Duly noted.
This post, however, is more about the Coke part. Not long at all after that Mets game, the Times ran a story on The Rise of the Hipster Soda Jerk (not its real title). And yes, the piece read as a cavalcade of waxed mustaches, sassafras, seltzer siphons and suspenders, but also the notion that "soda" oughta be "special" -- uttered by not one but two of the jerks quoted.
Instantly, I vowed that I couldn't agree more, and swore that someday I'd attempt the homemade cola syrup recipe that accompanied the story. And thus, the seed for the World's Greatest Jack and Coke was planted, germinating for several months before finally taking root over the Christmas break, when we finally got around to buying ourselves a SodaStream (Merry Christmas, Martelorres!) and sourcing the three ingredients that neither my home pantry nor the supermarket 'round the corner kept in stock: dried lavender buds (food-grade); whole vanilla bean (yes I know I should have this); citric acid. The first two I got at Whole Foods, but the citric acid was a BITCH to find. (I finally did at a bulk/health food store.)
So: What is it like, to make your own cola? Pretty low-key, not as intimidating as the recipe reads on paper. You basically grate and crush a bunch of stuff (citrus peels, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) and simmer it. Then you strain it and mix the resulting liquid with a buttload of sugar. (Seriously, the amount of sugar will make you think twice.) Most of your time will be spent grating, then minding your simmering pot, then stirring in your sugar until it dissolves. But I did all this while having about 10 friends over and managed to ignore my syrup for long stretches without harming it.
The Times' recipe notes that caramel color powder is optional. I did without because I was dying to see what cola looked like when it wasn't forced to look like fudge pop. Dear The Coca-Cola Company: Why do you insist on making this stuff the color of cow dung? My syrup came out the most splendid, sunny, optimistic, adorable shade of orange. It was fucking translucent! Like the dawning of the age of Aquarius, like tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow.
Alright, enough already. We break out the SodaStream, carbonate our filtered tap water, bippity boppity boo, put it together and what've you got?
Folks, you will
love go apeshit for this cola. You will kvetch and clutch your pearls and Facebook-post about it and just die for this stuff. THIS is what you get when you look up refreshing in the dictionary. And what you'll find incredibly nifty is that it tastes like Coke but also tastes nothing like Coke. I mean, your tastebuds will get intuitively that this is cola -- not orange pop or root beer or flavored seltzer -- but then again, if this is cola, why am I getting this undeniable grace note of pure lavender? And why does this lavender taste so right in what is still undeniably cola?
Mixed with a shot of Jack and a squeeze of lime? Yeah, it's the World's Greatest Jack and Coke.

1 1/2 to 2 ounces Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
About 3 ounces homemade cola
A quarter of a lime
Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in your Jack, then your cola. Top off with a squeeze of lime.
Tasting Notes
We actually bought an airplane bottle of Jack just for this drink, which is technically 50ml, or 1.7 ounces. So that's why I said 1 1/2 to 2 ounces above, to taste.
You'll also note in our pics that we used one of our big-ass ice cubes for this, as I think is wise for any highball drink. Welcome to the rock!
The Times' cola syrup recipe can be found here. I followed it to the letter except: 1) I didn't whirl the white and brown sugars together in a food processor before combining them with the simmered liquid; 2) I used coffee filters instead of cheesecloth to strain my simmered mixture.
