A blog about not giving up on your creative dreams
I should start by saying that my friend called because she was doubting her abilities. She looked around and saw artists who were "better" than her, she kept hearing how hard it was to make a living being a professional artist, and she saw how miserable her boyfriend, a professional artist, was. As a creative person myself (my medium being the written word) I could really relate to how she was feeling; how a lot of artists (visual, written, etc) must feel while trying to achieve their dreams and work their way to…maybe not even the top, but somewhere safe, comfortable, or stable enough to build a life around. I wanted to put this advice out there for those creative people (to be referred to from here on out under the umbrella term 'artists' because that's what they are, no matter the medium), including my friend, so they have something to think about when they start to doubt themselves. Hell…so that I can have something to think about when I start to doubt myself.
Firstly, there are always going to be artists who are "better" than you. I put better in quotation marks because art is very subjective and one person can love a work of art and another person can hate it just as passionately. The key is to be happy with your own art and be able to find a job or career path that suits your particular brand or style of art. If you work hard enough and you have passion and a willingness to learn and grow, you will have options. And in the meantime, it isn't going to help you to compare yourself to the competition. Be inspired by them, learn from them, but don't be intimidated by their presence. Remember that for every artist whose work intimidates you, there may be an artist who is equally intimidated by your work.
I do want to acknowledge that it is hard out there for artists to make a living. That's a fact and I won't gloss over that. It takes a lot of persistence, determination, hard work and talent, and (sometimes) a certain amount of luck to become a successful artist. The thing is you can't just go forward thinking "I want to make a living being an artist." You have to be smart about it. What are your particular strengths when it comes to your art? If you want to make a living in your art, is there a way to do so without being a starving artist? When I graduated from high school, all I wanted to do was be a writer. I went to college because it was expected of me but I got an English degree (Writing Concentration) because I figured I'd learn for four years and by the time I graduated I'd have a book written, a publishing deal and enough money to live off of. In hindsight and after years of working in publishing, that's a laughable goal. But when I got to my senior year of undergrad and had nothing worth publishing, I had to think outside the box. Sure I wanted to be a writer but what could I do for a living that was related to my art? At times I just wished I could read for a living. I loved books so much. It was that wish that led me to become an editor. It was a job related to writing, it required me to use my skills as both an avid reader and a writer, and it was something I was passionate about. And the deeper into that career path I got, the more my passion grew. I had found a way to make a living (bupkis at first, sure, but still more than I was making as an unpublished writer) while working with the written word on my terms, even if it wasn't what I had initially set out to do.
That's something that happens very often---the path you start off on leads somewhere you never expected it to. But ultimately, the journey is what life is all about, not the destination. I never knew how passionate I would be about editing until I got into it, and I had no idea how passionate I already was about children's and YA books until I started working on that side of the industry. And ya know? Working in this industry has inspired me in my writing, the original creative venture that led me to becoming an editor. I'm surrounded by book people every day. A lot of my friends, who I met at work or through industry networking, are book lovers. Many of them are writers too. I'm part of two book clubs, I've been and am still involved in writing groups, all of which are filled with colleagues from the book business. When I first read a Sara Zarr novel (her debut, Story of a Girl), I was inspired by what she had done; by the artistry of her words and the impact of her story. To then be able to contribute my thoughts while she was revising her next book (my boss was her editor), to see her process and how she worked, was such an honor. It opened doors in my mind that I hadn't known needed opening. I realized that my love of YA novels extended to my writing and suddenly I was coming up with more YA story ideas than I was adult story ideas. And the ideas meant more to me because of my passion for YA lit.
That's one thing that always bugged me about the musical RENT. As much as I loved that show, I always wanted to strangle the characters and say, "just because you are artists doesn't mean you can't get a job and support yourself! You don't have to abandon your art to make a living!"
Sure, you might not be able to make a living immediately just by creating art, but there are ways to have a career that is related to your art, that will allow you to utilize your artistic talents, and they will inspire you to grow as an artist. And if you are really passionate, you will continue your art on the side, using evenings and weekends and any spare time you can commit. To paraphrase Rainer Maria Rilke, you will create art because you can't not create art.
And there are always going to be naysayers and people who have a rough time of it. As far as my friend's boyfriend is concerned, he's a whiner. I've heard countless stories about how he procrastinates, misses his deadlines and has held up production and in general sounds like a real nightmare for any editor who is stuck working with him. He's obviously not happy doing that type of work, but he signed a contract out of obligation and is now dragging his feet. There are always going to be people like this---self-defeatists who give up and blame other people for their failures, or who blame the industry for how hard they have it when they're just doing it to themselves. And like I said, any creative industry is going to be hard. The competition is heavy, there are going to be people who try to step on you to get to the top and you will often be told you're not good enough or not right for the project. But it is possible if you're smart and you have the right attitude. And ya know, a lot of people are going to give up along the way. They are going to realize this isn't for them, or they don't love it enough to stick with it through thick and thin, or maybe they'll just burn out. But if you love your art enough to be able to hold out longer than everyone else, you've won half the battle. Again, being smart and professional is the other half.
I truly believe that if you can't see yourself anywhere but in the creative industry of your choice, you shouldn't give up pursuing it. My friend was born to be an artist and would never be happy being a nurse. I was meant to work with books (and hopefully publish some of my own someday) and I would never be happy working for an insurance company (which is what most people do back in my hometown). If you were born to create art, do it. If you can't support yourself with your art right away, find a way to support yourself while also creating your art on the side. And let your fellow artists inspire you, lift you up and teach you. And most importantly, be open to growth in your art, don't blame others for your failures, and learn to view mistakes and rejections not as failures but as opportunities for more growth. You can do it…but only if you are willing to put yourself out there and do what it takes. Do you have what it takes? You won't know until you try.

A wonderful essay! Thanks so much! I'm definitely going to highlight the link in my round-up tomorrow.

Thanks for spreading the word, Cynthia! I appreciate it. Hopefully this will help at least one or two people to stick it out.
Wonderful post--thank you for writing it. And your friend is exceptionally lucky to have you in her life.
- Lynsey Newton said...
Loved reading that, thank you!
- Jennifer Brown said...
YES! YEEEES! Love this! I'm pounding my fist on my desk in triumph right now!
Seriously, I just had the "there will always be someone better than you" conversation with my son yesterday. It's not a competition between you and all the other artists out there. It's a competition between you and yourself. Don't let yourself beat you (deeeep).
And I so agree with the broadening of your initial vision thing. When I was working in an office, I NEVER even considered being a writer. When I finally considered it... I thought I was going to be a poet. After getting into poetry, I thought maybe I'd just write some short stories. Plotting out a short story made me curious about novels. Adult novels. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be penning YA novels and loving every minute of it. But being open to it and following a creative vision was absolute key in making it happen.
Brilliant blog, T.S. I'm going to share it with my friends!
- Danielle said...
Fantastic essay, my friend! :)
Now do you need me to email it to you so you can give yourself that same fab advice? :-p
-Danielle, Reading Between the Lines
- T.S. said...
Danielle, you actually came up in the original conversation with my friend as one of my inspirations/motivations to keep creating. :-) I believe I used the phrase "forces me to write through threats of physical violence." HA!
- Danielle said...
hahahaha! love it :-p
Now where are those pages? *pounds right fist into left palm*
- Sara Z. said...
Great post - there is so much I want to say about this but only have iPhone keyboard til Monday so have to wait!
Thank you I needed that. I have six completed books waiting on someone to say yes. I have sent out information to many on my second one. First one is published, but under vanity publisher, was new to the industry and didn't realize that is what I was doing. Everyone that has bought one though likes it very much and second one I have recevied several rejections. I have also received two "would like to see more", but it usually stops there. It becomes disheartening to say the least. I am in the YA romance genre. I feel like that is where my strength is, so I keep writing. Waiting in the background to see what happens. Thank you for your post.
- Sara Z. said...
Some additional thoughts now that I'm at a full-sized keyboard...
- I almost quit a bunch of times in the ten years from when I first seriously pursued writing novels to when I sold my first. During that time, I applied for a SCBWI work-in-progress grant almost every year. Never got anything. I applied for other grants, and got feedback like, "Ordinary writing." "Nothing special." "Boring." At one point I thought I'd sold a book to a packager, and then that totally fell through. My first agent didn't really like my writing. There were SO MANY reasons to stop! Why didn't I? I don't know. Every January, I thought, "This is the year," so I only needed enough hope to last 12 months at a time.
- Even when you are successfully published and maybe even a National Book Award finalist, there are people who are "better" than you, or seem to have better careers, or who have intimidating genius, or for whom work seems to come easier, or who make more money, or have more facebook friends, more whatever. It goes on and on - there is no end point, there is no "arrival." So when aspiring writers are seeking "arrival" and measuring success or happiness by an idea of "arrival," the whole process is bound to be rough because honestly, in my opinion, there is no such thing. Once you embrace that it's all process and journey and no arrival, it's easier to see the pre-published and/or rejection or career lows part of the journey as temporary.
- And you know, TS, from your work in editorial that even good writers turn in stuff that needs A LOT of work. You saw from the inside that there is very little magic or genius...it's work. And you can go a long, long way on work (lots of thoughts on this at the Blue Rose Girls controversial post on talent!).
- I love your point about RENT, and that there is lots of middle ground between being dressed in rags and being James Patterson. I'm with you - better to cobble together a living doing something at least related to what you love than to have an all-or-nothing approach.
Anyway, yeah. Agree with everything you say here!
- T.S. said...
Thanks for adding your thoughts, Sara! It's great to see that even an award-winning author (and one that I cite as an inspiration in this very post) has gone through (and still goes through) what us aspiring artists go through.
Folks, let this be a lesson that hard work, determination and believing in yourself can go a long way. And Sara's right, I can vouch from the editorial side of things that even the best writers sometimes need help whipping their books into shape.
And the more I work on my own writing, the more I tend to think of writing in the same way I've always thought of Sudoku. The longer you spend on it, the more likely it is that you'll figure it out, but if you give up because it's too hard, then you've automatically failed. Of course, some people are not suited for either Sudoku or writing and some don't enjoy it enough to stick with it, but as Sara and I have both stated, if you love it enough and stick with it long enough, you'll get there.
- Susan Adrian said...
Thanks for this. I think every writer/artist needs this kind of reminder now and then. And thanks, Sara, for chiming in too! You're one of my inspirations as well.
I am all about the hard work and positive attitude. Speak it! :)

I love this post, I really believe that if we only get one life why not spend it, pursuing and perhaps one day, doing something that you love. I'll try my hardest for something like that. I'm sure as long as I have tried, then I'll have no regrets no matter where I end up.
Great post. I was just googling and came upon your blog. Great advice. I just recently graduated college with an English Writing Arts degree and I have been trying to figure out whether to go to law school (as I originally planned), or go with my passion, writing. I'm going to pursue writing (whether my parents agree with it or not), I just don't know where to begin. Any advice? How did you get into the publishing industry? Thanks for the words of inspiration.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' playoff chances have been extinguished. Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals don't have to hear about their winless record against their AFC North rivals anymore.
NFL Replay will re-air the Cincinnati Bengals' 13-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers from Week 16 on Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 9 p.m. ET.
» NFL Network schedule
After a stunning ending that included an awful Ben Roethlisberger interception, the Bengals are going to the playoffs as the AFC's No. 6 seed because of a 13-10 win in Pittsburgh. In the big spots, Cincinnati's defense made the difference.
Trying to make some late-game magic, Roethlisberger threw an inexcusable interception with just 14 seconds left. Dalton delivered one of his best throws of the day on the ensuing play, hitting A.J. Green for 21 yards, and Josh Brown sent the Steelers fans home unhappy with a game-winning, 43-yard field goal.
It all happened so fast, but the Steelers' meltdown has been building up for weeks. Their defense played terrific Sunday, giving up just six points. But Big Ben's mistakes were the difference. Leon Hall returned an interception for a touchdown early in the game, and Reggie Nelson picked off Roethlisberger's errant pass late, ensuring Pittsburgh wouldn't go to the playoffs.
"We should be (in the playoffs) if it wasn't for me," Roethlisberger said, via Will Graves of The Associated Press.
In between Big Ben's picks, Bengals defensive tackle Geno Atkins absolutely dominated with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble. This game wasn't about Dalton or Green. It was about the Cincinnati defense showing it could win an old-school AFC North battle.

The Bengals beat the Steelers at their own game. In the end, they bullied the bullies. They're 9-6 and going to the playoffs because of it, and the Steelers are 7-8 and going home.
No matter what else happens for the Bengals in the next few weeks, this was a huge step forward for the franchise.

2011 Royal Society of New Zealand Distinguished Speaker - Professor Robin Clark "Science Meets Art"Activity by Melissa Pentecost | added on Feb 03, 2011 | New Zealand
2011 Distinguished Speaker: Science Meets Art -Investigating Pigments in Art and Archaeology
Raman spectroscopy is a light scattering technique primarily used in assessing the structure and composition of materials. When a light source such as a laser is coupled to a microscope, the resulting technique – Raman microscopy – is now recognised to provide effective means for identifying micro- to nano-metre sized grains of any material such as a pigment. The technique now has the attributes of sensitivity, reproducibility, high spectral resolution, and in situ operation. As it is also non-destructive, it is highly suitable for working on pigment or dye identification on valuable artwork and artefacts. The so-called Raman effect takes its name from its discoverer in 1928, C.V. Raman, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1930.
The lecture will highlight studies leading to the effective identification of pigments on manuscripts, paintings, papyri, icons, ceramics and archaeological artefacts, leading to the establishment of artists' palettes at different periods and in different localities. These results, together with other related scientific ones at the Arts/Science interface, bear upon the restoration, conservation and dating of artefacts and the detection of forgeries. Rarely has an optical technique made such an impact on seemingly unrelated disciplines.
Born in Rangiora and a graduate of Canterbury University, Robin Clark is an internationally celebrated scientist, based at University College London where he was for many years the Sir William Ramsay Professor, Dean of Science and Head of Chemistry, recently becoming Ramsay Professor Emeritus. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and Member of the American Philosophical Society, and was recently awarded the Franklin-Lavoisier prize for his work in Raman microscopy. Professor Clark has been involved in the examination of some of Europe's best known artwork such as the Lindisfarne Gospels, Gutenberg Bibles, 'old masters' including Vermeer's Young woman seated at a virginal, rare postage stamps, old maps, artefacts from Samarra, China,etc., and in the detection of forgeries from Egypt, Spain and elsewhere.Auckland

Béla Fleck Unveils Concerto for Banjo and Orchestra with Nashville Symphony
Béla Fleck will present the world premiere of his Concerto for Banjo and Orchestra — one of the first ever written for the instrument — with the Nashville Symphony on September 22-24 at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. To be performed by Fleck on his vintage 1937 mahogany Gibson Mastertone banjo, the Concerto marks a significant new departure for Fleck, who calls the piece "a liberating experience for my efforts as a composer and hopefully for the banjo as well." Commissioned by the Nashville Symphony, Concerto for Banjo and Orchestra will be the centerpiece of the orchestra's opening concerts in the 2011/12 SunTrust Classical Series.
Given the names Béla (for Bartók), Anton (for Webern) and Leoš (for Janáčék), Fleck seems to have been destined to play classical music. Having launched a prolific and wildly successful career as a genre-melding instrumentalist, first with the New Grass Revival and later with the Flecktones, he made the classical connection with his 2001 solo album Perpetual Motion. Released on Sony Classical, the recording went on to win a pair of Grammys, including Best Classical Crossover Album. Fleck has won a total of 14 Grammys, and, with 30 nominations, he has been nominated in more different categories than anyone in Grammy history.
Fleck dedicates his new Concerto to pioneering banjoist Earl Scruggs, who first inspired him to take up the instrument. The composer says that the piece reflects the dual influences of classical music and bluegrass. "You can hear an evolution in my own writing of the piece as it goes on," he observes, noting that he wanted to "explore the new possibilities of the banjo as a member or the orchestra, while respecting its roots in bluegrass and jazz."
Concerto for Banjo and Orchestra is perfectly matched at the Nashville Symphony concerts with Aaron Copland's famous Appalachian Spring, which celebrates the American spirit with music of breathtaking beauty and directness. Concluding the performance is Tchaikovsky's larger-than-life Fourth Symphony, the Russian composer's favorite piece, which sweeps the audience with an emotional palette that ranges from melancholy to exuberance. The Thursday, September 22, performance will be webcast live via the Nashville Symphony's website.

Seattle Science Fest "Open Science" panel coming soon
by Administrator May 30th, 2013
The Seattle Science Festival running June 6 to June 16 will include a special panel discussion June 12 with Q&A, on your right to know what publicly-funded scientists are discovering, and how "open science" can be advanced. The free event is Tuesday June 12, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the West Seattle Branch of the Seattle Public Library, 2306 42nd Ave. SW, just north of Metropolitan Market. More below from panel host Michael Bradbury.
So much science is freely available online if you know where to look. There's a treasure trove of open science available for journalists, bloggers and the public. Learn about open access journals and other online sources that don't require subscriptions. Hear about how public data helps tell important regional health and science stories. Join us on June 12 as we listen to some of the stories that local science writers and science social media experts have covered and written in this general discussion of open science.
Sally James brings her years as a science and health writer to bear on open science. She will discuss how she uses social media to access open science papers. She will also talk about how citizen science projects and open science projects have become a staple and how they fit into science writer's toolbox. She recently started her own blog, SeattleScienceWriter and is former president of the Northwest Science Writers Association. Recently she appeared on KUOW-FM's Weekday, talking about current science news.
Matt Rosenberg will add to the panel discussion his perspectives covering the Open Science beat for his site Public Data Ferret, a project of the 501c3 he founded and directs, Public Eye Northwest. Matt will share lessons learned mining open access journals online for news of general interest, including that which ties directly into local, regional and state public policy issues.
Michael Bradbury will host the discussion. He is a journalist and the founder of REALscience, a Seattle-based online science news site. He is a longtime proponent of open science who believes that the public should have full access to all research that tax dollars make possible. He would also like to see a proliferation of citizen science projects that engage and encourage the public to help scientists gather and analyze data, further breaking down the barriers between the public and the scientific community.
Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com as space is limited. The session is suitable for teens and adults.

Drake & Chris Brown in the clear over club brawl
DRAKE and CHRIS BROWN will not face charges for their summer (12) nightclub brawl in New York - police officials have dropped the case because they don't have enough evidence to proceed.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ.com no criminal charges will be filed against the two stars or members of their entourage following the bottle-smashing brawl at WiP nightclub in June.
Brown suffered injuries to his face from a flying bottle during the fracas, which reportedly broke out when the rivals clashed over the Kiss Kiss star's former girlfriend Rihanna.
Many clubbers were left bloodied by the brawl and Eva Longoria's basketball player ex Tony Parker claimed his eye was injured as a result of the fight. He has sued the club for damages.

Patriots games will have an extra level of intrigue this year, especially if fans show up wearing Aaron Hernandez jerseys. Or if any of them actually resemble Aaron Hernandez.
According to the Hartford Courant, a brawl erupted at a diner this morning after a patron shouted out, "Hey, Aaron Hernandez!"
A pair of men arrested in the aftermath of the ensuing brouhaha told police they were sitting with Aaron Hernandez's brother, D.J.
The fight started after the person who yelled "Hey, Aaron Hernandez!" was told to shut up, possibly Brian Cashman-style.
Police don't actually know whether D.J. Hernandez was in the diner. The Connecticut native is a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa.

Gabrielle Giffords won't be in Congress anymore. But she'll soon be on the high seas.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced Friday that the next Independence variant littoral combat ship in the U.S. Navy will be named in honor of the former Democratic representative from Arizona, who was seriously wounded in the Tucson shooting last year.
According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Defense, the sponsor of the USS Gabrielle Giffords will be Roxanna Green. Green is the mother of 9-year-old girl Christina Taylor-Green, who was killed in the shooting spree.
"I am pleased to honor Gabrielle Giffords and the people of Arizona with the naming of this ship," said Mabus. "Giffords and the ship's sponsor, Roxanna Green, are sources of great inspiration and represent the Navy and Marine Corps qualities of overcoming, adapting and coming out victoriously despite great challenges."
The USS Gabrielle Giffords will be 419 feet long, have a waterline beam of 103 feet, displace around 3,000 tons, and make speed in excess of 40 knots. The ship will be designed to defeat growing littoral threats and provide access and dominance in the coastal waters.
The USS Gabrielle Giffords is the 17th ship to be named after a woman, and the 13th ship to be named after a living person since 1850.
Giffords resigned from Congress last month to concentrate on her physical rehabilitation efforts. She and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, live in League City.

A lot of folks with older iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches were hesitant to drop iOS 7 on their devices when Apple released that version of its mobile operating system last year. That's because, while the minimum specs indicated it was suitable for the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2, the reality was quite different.
In other words, just because you can doesn't mean you should. Owners of these older devices found they were significantly slowed with iOS 7.
But with the release of iOS 7.1 on Monday, owners of older Apple products got some relief. Besides tweaking the new iOS 7 interface and bringing a handful of new features, iOS 7.1 also provides better performance for those at the older end of the Apple hardware scale. See this excellent post at Ars Technica for details and benchmarks.
I have an iPad 3, which was sluggish but usable with iOS 7. Now, with 7.1 installed, it's noticeably more responsive. It's even – dare I say it? – zippy!
To make sure it wasn't just me, I asked my Twitter followers who have older iPads or iPhones, and they (mostly) confirmed my own experience.
If you've got an older iPhone or iPad and you avoided iOS 7, it's time to reconsider. Version 7.1 is an excellent update.
If you've already installed iOS 7.1 on an older Apple device, how's the performance now? Let us know in the comments.

Verlander nearly throws 3rd no-hitter for Tigers
DETROIT (AP) Two outs were all that separated Justin Verlander from yet another rare achievement - and an exclusive club that includes Cy Young, Nolan Ryan and only three other pitchers.
With the crowd on its feet in anticipation of Verlander's third no-hitter, the Detroit ace threw a sharp breaking ball, just off the outside corner. Josh Harrison stuck his bat out and flicked a soft line drive agonizingly toward center field.
''That's why throwing no-hitters is so difficult,'' Verlander said. ''It doesn't take a hard one, it just takes the right placement.''
Harrison's ninth-inning single broke up Verlander's latest no-hit bid, but the powerful right-hander was brilliant again for the Tigers, striking out 12 in a 6-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. Verlander allowed two walks and settled for his first career one-hitter. He nearly became the sixth major leaguer to throw at least three no-hitters.
Verlander also fell just short of the third no-hitter in the majors already this season. Philip Humber pitched a perfect game for the Chicago White Sox at Seattle on April 21, and Jered Weaver tossed a no-hitter for the Los Angeles Angels against Minnesota on May 2.
''The adrenaline is like nothing else. You don't really feel anything. My legs were just kind of tingling,'' Verlander said. ''Everything's amplified in that situation. You're like, 'Man, I don't want to throw the wrong one.' But you've just got to trust your instincts and go with what you feel.''
Four of the five pitchers with at least three no-hitters are in the Hall of Fame: Ryan (seven), Sandy Koufax (four), Bob Feller (three) and Young (three). Larry Corcoran, an ambidextrous pitcher who won 177 games from 1880-85, is the other one.
The 29-year-old Verlander, last year's AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner, really brought the crowd to life in the eighth with three straight strikeouts. Casey McGehee went down looking at a 98 mph fastball, then Nate McLouth struck out swinging on a pitch that hit 99.
Verlander reached 100 mph with his first pitch to Clint Barmes, and after getting him to chase an outside pitch for strike three, he walked slowly to the Detroit dugout and down the steps closest to home plate on the third-base side - while teammates used another entrance at the opposite end.
In the ninth, Michael McKenry grounded to shortstop Jhonny Peralta on a 3-2 offering, and Verlander got ahead of Harrison before he reached for a 1-2 slider and sent a clean single up the middle that Peralta couldn't get to.
''I was so amped to hit his 100 mph fastball that I didn't even know where the ball was going,'' Harrison said. ''He never threw me a fastball in that at-bat, but I finally got a pitch I could put my bat on.''
Verlander (5-1) saw the ball drop in shallow center and bent backward on the mound, knowing how close he came. He settled for his sixth career shutout and 16th complete game. He threw 109 pitches.
''Would I rather it be hard-hit? Of course,'' Verlander said. ''But a hit's a hit's a hit.''
The sellout crowd at Comerica Park gave Verlander a big ovation and he quickly finished off the Pirates with a pair of groundouts. After the Tigers lined up for high-fives, Verlander saluted fans with a wave.
Verlander no-hit Toronto on May 7, 2011. His other no-hitter came June 12, 2007, against Milwaukee.
This was his first one-hitter, although he allowed one hit in eight innings against the Los Angeles Angels last season, one of several close calls to go with the no-hitter against the Blue Jays.
After rolling to the AL Central title in 2011 and adding Prince Fielder in the offseason, Detroit was just 18-20 entering Friday night's game. Against the Pirates, the Tigers provided a glimpse of what Motown was hoping to see this season.
Miguel Cabrera and Fielder hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the first off Charlie Morton (2-4). Delmon Young added a solo homer in the fourth, and Don Kelly's run-scoring single later that inning made it 4-0.
Then there was Verlander, who was facing an overmatched Pittsburgh lineup that doesn't see him much.
The buzz began to build in the fourth. Neil Walker hit a hard line drive, but right at Brennan Boesch in right field. Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez then struck out.
''With him, anytime like the fifth, sixth inning, with his stuff, you think it could happen,'' Detroit catcher Alex Avila said. ''His stuff was better today than it was last year during his no-hitter.''
In the sixth, McKenry made decent contact but hit a grounder right at Peralta. Then Harrison sent a drive toward left-center field. Kelly - playing center because of an injury to Austin Jackson - was able to make a running catch and keep the no-hit bid going.
It was Verlander's 51st straight regular-season start of at least six innings.
The sun didn't set until around 9 p.m. on this mid-May night in Michigan, and with Verlander breezing through the Pittsburgh lineup, the sky didn't really begin to darken until the seventh.
Walker struck out looking to begin that inning - then had a few words for plate umpire CB Bucknor. McCutchen walked for Pittsburgh's first baserunner since the first inning, but Alvarez grounded to first and Garrett Jones was caught looking at a breaking ball.
NOTES: Bucknor was shaken up in the first when he was hit around the collarbone by a wild pitch. ... Boesch extended his hitting streak to 11 games. ... Detroit's Drew Smyly (1-0) takes the mound against Pittsburgh's A.J. Burnett (1-2) on Saturday.

Actor Christian Bale made his critically acclaimed film debut in Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun."
His breakout role came in 2000 with "American Psycho." Bale played a yuppie serial killer.
Bale is known for his ability to completely transform his body for a role. He lost about 60 pounds to play the lead role in 2004's "The Machinist," and then immediately bulked up for 2005's "Batman Begins."
Off-screen, Bale has become known for his temper. In 2008, he faced assault allegations from his mother and sister. The charges were dropped. Then in 2009, an audio clip from the set of "Terminator Salvation" surfaced, featuring a profanity-laced outburst from Bale.

GAO, Mali, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- French and Malian forces exchanged gunfire with Islamists in Gao, Mali, a town previously liberated from the extremists' control, officials said.
A reporter from the BBC said Islamists have infiltrated the town once again and are waging a guerrilla campaign with gunman riding motorbikes through the streets.
The gunfire began near the town's central police station but has now extended beyond there.
The renewed violence comes as military forces foiled a suicide bombing attack just north of Gao, the second such attack prevented in as many days, officials said.
A witness said Malian soldiers exchanged gunfire with the would-be attacker before an explosion killed the man.
"There were exchanges of gunfire for 30 minutes. Then the bomber came, he advanced alone. He was armed. Soldiers returned fire, shot him because he walked towards them and then boom an explosion," the witness said.
The attempted attack came one day after villagers 12 miles north of Gao arrested two men with explosives strapped to their bodies.
On Friday, a Tuareg dressed as a paramilitary officer detonated an explosive belt at a checkpoint, wounding a solider. The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (Mujao) claimed responsibility for the Friday attack. A spokesman for the group said it would strike again, though no group has claimed responsibility for the two foiled attacks, Euronews.com reported.
They warned residents to stay away while new bombings are undertaken.
"We are dedicating ourselves to carrying out more attacks against France and its allies. We ask the local population to stay far away from military zones and avoid explosions," spokesman Abou Walid Sahraoui said.
Roads to the north of Gao were closed after Sunday's incident.

COEVAL provokes
campus reaction
with opening issue
The first issue of Coeval, Bethel's literary magazine, has pro-voked
considerable discussion both on and beyond the campus. Some
individuals have found the magazine's contents objectionable at
certain points, and reaction in some circles outside of the Bethel
community has been particularly unfavorable.
"The difficulty seems to be a misunderstanding of the function
of the student literary magazine," Esther Pearson, Coeval editor
explained. "Perhaps the Coeval risks the disapproval of some read-ers,
but it wants to be an instrument for student growth, for sincere
reflection and representation of personal exploration — to be so
it must allow students to speak in their own voice."
President Lundquist, who talked with Miss Pearson last week,
said that the Coeval's first issue had provoked discussion concern-ing
the objectives of Coeval and what is appropriate content-wise.
He distinguished two issues, stating that the issue was not what
a man has freedom to say, but rather another area of responsibility
involving what the editor feels is the thing to publish.
Miss Pearson noted that Dr. Lundquist had felt that the whole
tone of the publication was depressing, and didn't evidence Christian
"I think Christians have the right to express anything they
want, whether or not it is joyous," she contended. She lamented
that "The abandonment of traditional language in expressing Chris-tian
faith leads some to feel we've abandoned traditional Christian
faith. But we haven't," she added quietly but emphatically, repeat-ing
the phrase twice.
"If Christians are free to express themselves, they will express
Christian attitudes," the Coeval editor asserted. "The use of tra-ditional
language is simply the allowance that we are always in the
process of making new traditions."
President Lundquist reported that the "Student Senate recom-mended
that the communications committee look at Coeval and its
objectives in light of the first issue." He added that no official
action or judgement had been made, nor even talked about. All
those involved, he said, wanted "to nail down the problem together,
not by fiat by any source."

certification for teaching in Min-nesota.

insisting on fulfillment of t h e

accept the NCATE-approval with
a minimum of additional require-ments.

Bethel's education department
applied about two years ago and
submitted an extensive preliminary
report last December. After a
group of NCATE officials from out
of state spent several days here
last year inspecting the education-al
programs and confirming the
report, Dr. Runbeck met with the
NCATE officials to discuss further
information regarding the recom-mendation
for approval.
The mid-October decision of the
NCATE acknowledged approval of
the application for accreditation
for the program to prepare elemen-tary
teachers at the Baccalaureate
degree level.
However, the NCATE announced
"deferral of action for the program
to prepare secondary teachers" at
the same level. Its decision to await
additional information on the sec-ondary
program will mean a de-lay
of at least one year for ac-creditation
of this program, ac-cording
to Dr. Runbeck.
In the meantime, Bethel's sec-ondary
education students are still
certified on the basis of our re-commendation

Since the secondary program is
even more expensive than the el-ementary
program and involves a
great many more departments, Dr.
Runbeck said the NCATE approval
is largely dependent upon certainty
that the applying college's admin-istration
is committed to the pro-gram.
Now that Bethel has a new per-manent
dean, who has expressed as
great an interest and commitment
as the president, the education de-partment
is optimistic about ob-taining
that needed impetus along
with further information to be pre-sented
to the NCATE by Dec. 1.
Although Bethel's elementary
education program is only about
five years old, it now boasts about
30 graduates per year. About 25
graduates per year are in Bethel's
secondary education program.
Dr. Runbeck noted that t h e
whole college's accreditation by the

Churchman's conscience rebels
To The Editor:
Recent Rock and Folk concerts
on campus have helped to focus
our attention on Church Music and
an apparent lack of relevancy in
traditional forms. The issues, how-ever,
have in my opinion, been
blurred by inept reviews wherein
The Clarion Concert Review not
only reviewed the concerts, but
found it necessary to try to defend
the concerts philosophically.
In the "New Folk" review we
were informed that what is learn-ed
in Fine Arts was proven wrong.
It was pointed out that God could
be glorified through this approach,
and the approach was then de-scribed.
(The voices weren't the
best, but they were outstanding
showmen, etc.) Several questions
might be helpful to point out
problems in the reviews:
1. Why is it the performers
themselves seemed compelled to
inform us that they do not present
their "program" in churches? Is
a church building so sacrosanct that
it's all right to use a medium of
entertainment (folk-rock) a n d
dance (the girls were particularly
well choreographed) in college
auditoriums, but not in the sacred
halls of the church?
(I understand the point that they
go where the souls (who need to
be saved) are, but the statements
referred to the style of their music
and the performance techniques
2. What kind of logic is it that
suggests that sensual appeal (aes-thetic
gratification) becomes the
criterion for determining whether
or not something is God glorifying?
(True, the crowd applauded enthu-siastically
and called for an encore)
but that simply indicates that the
music was enjoyed by the students.
The response indicated pleasure
with the performance. It was not
necessarily an indication that spi-ritual
communication had taken
It is seldom that people applaud
because they have been spoken to
by the Holy Spirit. It seems ab-surd
to imply that because people
like something it is therefore God
The reviewer's accurate comment
that their showmanship was their
greatest strength reinforces rather
than weakens my personal view
concerning this approach. It would
appear that the hedonistic philoso-phy
which is valid to some people
is now endeavoring to shape our
values in church music.
Regarding the review of the next
campus cultural event (Ylvisaker)
it is interesting to note that the
reviewer in stating that the "sup-posed
differences between sacred
and secular music do not survive
examination" takes exception with
the vast majority of Musicians,
Aestheticans, Church Music Histor-ians,
and Musicologists who have
in their research pointed out the
differences between sacred and
secular music. (Obviously there is
by Rev. Richard Westby
Davis, Charles, A Question of Conscience,
Harper & Row, Publishers, New York 1967,
278 pp.
Many people today either leave
the church quietly or ignore its
teaching copiously. But when a
prominent English Roman Catholic
theologian rejects his church, it
makes news and raises questions.
With the tools of logic and rea-son
Mr. Davis makes a formidable
and convincing defense of his de-cision
to leave the church after
having become one of its gifted
and leading spokesmen.
Charles Davis was a moderate
and cautious theologian, taking the
church seriously, demanding of it
To the Editor:
As a student of Bethel College I
would like to congradulate the
Clarion editorial staff for its
thoughtful and provocative editor-ial
in the November 15th issue.
This was by far the most relevant
and meaningful comment to come
from the Clarion so far this year.
The realization that it is the
attitudes and reasoning of both the
administration and the students,
rather than any overt actions, that
must be looked into and questioned
was particularly significant. On a
college campus there is supposed
to be an intellectual, thinking
atmosphere, one which questions,
no such thing as sacred or secular
notes. Notes are notes.)
But the way in which the notes
are organized into meaningful or
intelligible patterns create what is
known as the "style" or "idiom".
It is through the style of music
that communication or meaning
takes place. What the music means
will determine how it is categorized
(sacred or secular). Recognition and
understanding of style are neces-sary,
therefore, to knowing the
differences between music types.
Therefore to the individual who
is musically literate it is impossible
to accept the reviewer's presup-position
that no difference exists.
If one does not grant this presup-positionally,
one is not "bound to
accept a great deal in the church
that now seems shocking" unless
the desire to shock is so over-whelming
that one determines to
disregard reason.
Finally, regarding R. Buell's let-ter:
1. I personally did not boycott
the concert by not attending it.
Other plans made long before 1
knew about the campus concert
made it impossible to attend.
However, I did attend the Ylvi-saker
concert a year ago because I
sincerely desired to be informed
in these areas. (Regardless, it would
not have been necessary to hear
him again to know what he was
attempting and the resultant prob-lems.)
2. I do agree that we as a
consistency and order. It was this
fact that led to his departure. He
expected the church to be t h e
"living embodiment" of Christ.
During his spiritual journey he
became convinced that the church
had ceased to be a credible insti-tution
worthy of his allegiance
but a hindrance to Christian faith
and joyous commitment. The pres-ent
institutional structure no long-er
embodied a concept of truth
relevent to the genuine experiences
of modern man. The church had
become foreign, strange, obsolete,
and irrelevent to the human reali-ty.
His arguments are cogent and
honestly searches, digs, for rele-vant
answers, for truth.
In such a situation, it is gen-erally
accepted, "good" answers
will remain, "bad" one will be lost
in the shuffle. Why then was it
necessary for Dr. Lundquist to re-move
the essay "The Student as
Nigger" from the Peace Club table
several weeks ago?
If it was a "bad" idea it would
have gotten lost anyway, without
his help. It would only have re-mained
to threaten the status quo
if it was "good", or, if it had be-come
a cause.
And I feel it is time it did be-come
a cause. Let me make this

a cause to get smoking (or
drinking, swearing, etc.) on cam-pus,
but to get the freedom to be
able to, to come to our own con-clusions
on it.
I pick smoking deliberately be-cause
there are obvious medical
and common sense reasons (smell,
cost, annoyance to others) why an
individual should not smoke. As
far as I know, these reasons are
compelling for all, and certainly
most, of the Bethel community.
Why then must there be a rule?
Why must we force the individual
who finds an occasional cigarette
to be a relaxing study break during
periods of high pressure, such as
finals, to go off campus, to hide
in Como park as a naughty little
boy? Rather, as long as he does
not pollute the air of the dorm
to the discomfort of others, our
only concern should be that he
think through, and check what he
is doing with his own conscience.
A Christian is no less required
to find his own philosophy of life
than a non-Christian. Indeed, we
have an even stronger need to find
our own way, with the guidance of
the Holy Spirit.
We are not to conform to, or
obey others just because everyone
of our peers do, or because others
tell us to. And others includes
not only "them," secular individ-uals,
but "us," fellow Christians.
When Bethelites begin to stand
for what they believe individually
rather than corporately, then will
we belive with conviction and fire.
Then will we effect our world.

Bethel curriculum lacks
communication emphasis
Missions Week and its theme, "A Man Afar Off," reminds
one of the importance of communication. Without meaningful
communication, an effective Christian witness seems little more
than an idle dream.
The liberal arts college with a Christian emphasis should
be particularly sensitive to the mission of carrying the Chris-tian
message and the need for spiritual leadership. The concrete
expression of such sensitivity should be a curriculum designed
to develop intellectually autonomous individuals, capable of
communicating a distinctive worldview to other segments of so-ciety.
There is a need for articulate as well as sincere Christians.
At Bethel, however, we do not find an emphasis on the
importance of communication translated into the curriculum;'
in fact, Bethel must consider writing, as a means of communi-cation,
relatively unimportant if one judges by the slim course
offerings in that area. (Advanced Composition and The English
Language are the only composition courses offered; nothing is
offered in the way of journalism.)
But this does not give an accurate picture of the total situ-ation.
Proficiency in writing is recognized as important, and the
English Department is giving top priority to the need for a jour-nalism
professor. Long range planning calls for an increase in
both journalism and creative writing courses.
The present situation, however, reflects a long tradition of
minimal offerings in journalism and other composition. Beth-el's
previous journalism offerings (151, 152. Journalism work-shop
and 201. Journalism) were discontinued two years ago
when the school's only journalism instructor left.
A student can get some background in journalism by work-ing
on a college publication, but such experience is not recog-nized
as a valuable learning experience, and no academic credit
is given for suh work.
In a world where communication is of such vital import-ance,
the Christian, who has something very special to say,
should be particularly concerned with communicating effective-ly.
"The kingdom of heaven," Jesus said, "is like a merchant
in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great
value, went and sold all that he had and bought it." Posses-sion
of something of such great value would seem to have some
implications regarding communication.
For the Christian college, then, an emphasis on the ability
to communicate effectively seems even more appropriate than
such an emphasis on a secular campus. In view of this, it would
seem that Bethel needs to intensify its efforts to upgrade and
broaden the scope of coursework in both journalism and crea-tive
Secondly, Bethel needs to give its publications a more tan-gible
stake in the academic side of college life and make opti-mum
use of the learning possibilities of work on these publica-tions.
This might involve structuring publications work in such
a way that it would be acceptable for academic credit.

(Fourth and last in a series of
interviews with missionaries)
Mrs. Joan Law and her husband
worked under the Wycliffe Bible
Translators in an isolated Aztec
Indian village near Acayucan, Mex-ico.
Mrs. Law is presently teach-ing
in the Anthropology Depart-ment
of Bethel.
Mrs. Law, what were your ac-tivities
in Mexico?
Our translation work required
living in the Indian village, learn-ing
and analyzing the language,
translating the Scriptures into the
local dialect, witnessing and teach-ing
the Bible and reading, doing
medical work and any other means
in order to relate to the people.
Our main objective was to witness
through the translation.
Was this isolation really satis-fying?
Life was extremely primitive in
this non-market, semi-tropical vil-lage,
yet this was a most satisfy-ing
experience in that we contribut-ed
to the analysis of the language
and to the literacy aspects of the
work. It also gave me the chance
to do first-hand anthropological
field work.
The frustrations came from not
always having a defined role, and
not being able to do all that was
required. Because of lack of feed-back,
it was difficult to self-evaluate
our performance.
How did your college degree help
in this work?
My college degree was in The-ology
and Missions with some focus
on Greek. If I were to do it over
again, I would major on the social

might have a better dietary bal-ance
in future events. For an "Aca-demic
Institution" four pops con-certs

little embarrassing. There may be

some intellectual stimulation as

thus far provided. This may be
why the faculty didn't turn out.

sciences, especially anthropology
and psychology.
It is important to understand
cross-cultural problems to make
an effective contribution to the
work. The Bible training is im-portant
and for the wives I would
recommend Seminary or its equiva-lent.
Was it necessary to integrate
yourself into the Indian culture?
We integrated ourselves as much
as possible into their society to
be understood, to learn the langu-age,
and to be able to communicate
the gospel message to them. We
could not do this effectively by
remote control.
We participated in village life,
but to preserve our personal ident-ity,
and to avoid sustained emotion-al
stress, it was necessary to be
absent frequently. Most summers
were spent in the U.S. teaching at
the Summer Institute of Linguis-tics

of play directing, and, hope-fully,
the art of directing.
Barb Jahr, another student of
the class, is responsible for all the
technical aspects of the play such
as make-up, costumes, and scenery.
"Pot of Gold" directed by Doug
Warring and Laurel Toy is also
a Greek comedy. It is set in a Ro-man
environment, with Roman cos-tumes.
As Strobilus relates, the play
centers around "a four-pound pot,
sir. I tell you a four-pound pot, just
full of gold." Elmer Nelson plays
the part of Strobilus, a sly slave.
Euclio, a mirely old man, is play-ed
by John Olander. Lyconides, a
young lover, is played by Bert
Loveland and his sweet old mother,
Eunomia, is played by Louise Han-son.
Pauli Jacobson is the voice
of a young girl.
This play is very unique—it has
no ending. The ending has been
lost in the course of time and was
presumably burned. The audience
will have the option of making
up their own ending, or eternally
wondering about the outcome of
the play.
Euclio, the old man, has inherit-ed
this handsome pot of gold from
an ancestor. The money is to be
for his daughter, but Euclio hides
it and the money is stolen. An
interesting love story is woven in-to
the main theme.

and literature of the foreign
country be a prerequisite for a

us understand their vocabulary

such as sun and moon wor-ship.

with elite Spanish-speaking Mex-icans

Campus discontents
speak in graphic ways
by Donovan Kramer
Even though we at Bethel are pretty well shut off from the
outside society and its forces, I am beginning to noice some evi-dences
of outside forces near and, yes, even on the campus.
One morning, as I reluctantly shuffled to 7 :45 class, my sleepy
eyes perceived the word "WAR" painted on the sidewalk. I was
shocked. "What can this mean ?" I asked myself.
I decided to find out if there were other evidences of this at-titude,
or if this was just one frustrated person's way of protest.
Since I put little trust in spoken word, I went about my search
quietly. I hoped to find some other physical or graphic examples.
I was amazed to find that other opinions had been expressed.
They seemed to prove that "WAR" was an expression of a minority.
Under the "STOP" on two "STOP" signs on campus I found sten-ciled
respectively the words "WAR" and "HATE".
Evidently we have some on campus who favor a peaceful ex-istence.
I was happy to see such expressions, even though they in-volved
defaced property.
A few days later I found yet another example of favorable
Christian attitude. Someone had added beauty, in the form of flow-ers,
to something not so pretty, the sewer cap in mid-campus. This
may seem a superficial effort since it took no uglyness from the
sewer, but merely decorated it.
Yet this expression is a step in the right direction. We've found
that by flamboyant means we have accomplished little. Why not
start by improving little things before we attempt earthshaking
moves ? Maybe, by putting "flowers" on some of the "sewers" of
the world, we can begin an improvement.

This will be a weekend of opening nights.
"The Waltz Invention," a comedy by Vladimir Nabokov,
opens tonight at the Eastside Theater for a four week run.
Nabokov is the author of the notorious novel "Lolita." This
will be the world premiere for "The Waltz Invention," about
a mad scientist's attempt to conquer the world.
"A Man for All Seasons" will open Friday evening at
Scott Hall on the University Campus. Performances will be
Friday evening at 8 p.m. and Saturday evening at 7 and 10 p.m.
"The Fantasticks" opened last night at the Chanhassen
Dinner-Theatre. It will run Wednesday through Sunday even-ings
for three weeks.
The Guthrie will present "Atreus" tonight, "Merton"
tomorrow night, and "Arturo" Saturday night.
But the biggest entertainment event of the week (month?
year?) could be the release of the Beatles' new album. It'll be
a two-record set, about thirty new songs. It'll sell for almost
$10.00, and it should break sales records.

Despite all the modern influences of the twentieth century, Brussels,
Belgium, is still a medieval city at heart. It is as busy as most capital
cities but reflects the past centuries with its unique architecture from
the Middle Ages.
The city is most interesting from a historical point of view, but
this too depends upon the interests and desires of the visitor. The Old
Town Square of Grand Place dates back from the seventeenth century
when Guilds played an important part in the town. The square cobble-stone
block is surrounded by tall medieval edifices, brilliantly decor-ated
with gold leaf, which still house many of the city's craftsmen.
Brussels offers a new culture of the Flemish people with their
unique combination of German and French. Several Museum collections
exhibit the world's greatest collection of Flemish art and craftsmanship.
Tourists more interested in the here and now will find the outdoor
cafe to their liking. It is most interesting to compare different people
and their habits. A visitor should not judge or form set opinions about
foreign cultures in the few days he spends in that country, but should
think objectively and appreciate the different things he sees.

Stiff competition tries fledgling team;
debaters work hard, show progress
The "Mob" came through. The
boys from Third Old upset first
place Off Campus to throw the
league standings into a four-way
tie for first place.
Off Campus kicked off to the
Mob, who moved the ball up to
the opposition's 20. But then, Dave
Schmidt of Off Campus grabbed
off a Third Old pass and was
tagged on the five-yard line. Quar-terback
Jim Delich then took over
to direct the team on a 95 yard
march down the field. Doug Carl-son
teamed up with Jim for the
main punch of the offense and
Paul Zosel caught the TD pass.
The extra point was unsuccessful.
It was then Third Old's turn.
With time running out, it looked
like the Mob wouldn't get close to
the goal. But then Lou Dohon con-nected
with Gary Clark who was
double teamed at midfield, but
made the catch and turned it on
to tie the score at 6-6 at halftime.
Third Old kicked off to Off Cam-pus
and play was started from
about the ten. On the first play,
Delich threw up the middle. Du-hon
read the play perfectly and
picked off the pass at the 20 just
as the intended receiver was about
to catch it. It was then just a mat-ter
of a few plays before Lou again
hit Clark to take a touchdown
Again, with a good kickoff, Off
Campus had to start deep in the
hole. On the first play, John Lar-son
broke through the line to tag
Delich for his second safety of
the year.
From then on, time was run-ning
out for Off Campus and De-lich
had to resort to long passes
instead of the slow consistent
game. The attempt was futile as
the tough Third Old squad upset
everything with their 14-6 victory.
In other action, the Faculty
squeaked by Second Old 13-12,
winning on yardage. The Faculty
came up with the play of the year
as on their first offensive play,
they went up to the ball with only
seven men. Then, unnoticed, Bill
Carlson stepped onto the field as
left end and as the play moved
moved right, suddenly, Jack Tra-ger
threw to Carlson who was all
alone to saunter in for the TD.
Second Old came back to tie the
score, 6-6 as their offensive ma-chine
moved through the Faculty
defense and scored with Jim Dud-dleston
throwing to halfback Mark
In the second half, Faculty came
back with another bomb as Tra-ger
and Stephens combined for a
50-yard scoring play. But again,
Second Old moved down the field
and Stewart scored again on an 8-
yard run. Neither team could
chalk up the extra points, so the
game went into overtime.

Whitney, who is new at Bethel,
stated that "We've made excellent
progress this year. We have a com-pletely
new team and the students
are excited about this."
It will be interesting to see the
results from some of the upcom-ing
contests as the competition is
by no means second-rate. This
weekend, they will compete in a
tournament at Bradley University
in Peoria, Illinois. Here they will
ply their skills against those of
teams from fifty of some of the
largest colleges and universities in
the United States.
Tournament activity is not con-fined
strictly to debating. There
are several other important areas
in which students compete as well.
Among these are oratory, oral
interpretation, discussion and ra-dio
broadcasting. At the Univer-sity
of South Dakota, Marge Erick-son
and Julie Palen received su-perior
and excellent ratings re-spectively
in the field of oral in-terpretation.
The subject chosen for debate
this year concerns the power of the
President in the curtailment of
foreign policy. It is chosen on a
nation-wide basis, thus enabling
all college and university teams to
compete with one another.
In preparation for this, stu-dents
do much diligent research,
becoming famaliar with both sides
of the question. As the year goes
on, Whitney looks forward to much
progress and experience in future
