From "The Science of Becoming Excellent," by Wallace D. Wattles and Dr. Judith Powell:
"You will never become great until your own thoughts make you great, and therefore it is of the first importance that you should THINK. You will never do great things in the external world until you think great things in the internal world; and you will never think great things until you think about truth. To think great things you must be absolutely sincere; and to be sincere you must know that your intentions are right. Insincere or false thinking is never great, regardless of how logical and brilliant it may be.
Think about the way you are doing things; about all your intentions, purposes, and practices until you know that they are right. Anyone can accept the proposition in a superficial way, but to feel and realize a vital comprehension of it is another matter. It is easy to think of going outside yourself to meet God, but it is not so easy to think going inside yourself to meet God. You will find God is there, and in the scared center of your own soul you may meet Him face to face.
It is a tremendous thing, this fact that all you need is already within you; that you do not have to consider how to get the power to do what you want to do or to make yourself what you want to be. You have only to consider how to use the power you already have in the right way. And there is nothing to do but to begin. Use your perception of truth today, live fully up to that and you will see more truth tomorrow."
It is an inner journey to discover and manifest the greatness that is you.
It starts within you and it starts now.

CredibleCravings Offers Organic, Gluten-Free Whole Food Bar
CredibleCravings has introduced its namesake gluten-free organic snack bar line developed specifically for expecting and nursing women.
CredibleCravings whole food bars were developed collaboratively with obstetricians, midwives and nutritionists to provide women with a natural source of the nutrients and energy they need for a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. In addition to being made entirely of organic veggies, fruits, nuts and sprouted seeds, CredibleCravings bars incorporate probiotics.
CredibleCravings comes in three flavor varieties, each with its own personality. Oatmeal Cranberry is described as energizing, as oats are an excellent pregnancy food. They are full of fiber to help regulate digestion, B vitamins, iron and potassium. The Lemon Ginger Greens bar refreshes while providing a little zing. Lemon is recognized as helping ease morning sickness. The Chocolate bar is, as one would expect, chocolatey. In addition, cocoa is an antioxidant and it contains important B vitamins and minerals.
Each 45g bar contains 180-190 calories, and 7-9g of fat, depending on variety. Available online and through select retail outlets, a bar sells for $2.99.

I was recently invited by the Maldivian Environmental Protection Agency (MEPA) to join them on a site visit to Rasdhoo Atoll. The Maldives are well known for their natural beauty, coral reefs, and pristine beaches. Ensuring the country preserves this unique habitat is a priority for the dynamic staff of the MEPA.
The Maldives is a long, narrow country in the Indian Ocean formed by 26 natural atolls covering 90,000 square kilometers over a submarine ridge. Atolls are ring like coral reefs that surround lagoons. They are formed as coral builds up around eroding volcanic islands. The Maldives is also the lowest country on earth, measuring only 2.4 meters above sea level at its highest point, making it particularly vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels. Protecting the country's reefs from pollution, poaching, rapid development, and other hazards is vital to guarding against natural disasters like tsunamis, health of food supplies from fisheries, and revenue from the thousands of tourists who visit every year. The U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Interior are supporting the Maldivian Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture to share lessons learned from the U.S. experience in managing coral reefs and marine protected areas in Hawaii.
Preserving the country's unique habitat is a priority for all Maldivians, from President Waheed, who announced at the UN Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development that the Maldives will be the first country to become a marine reserve, to the community on Rasdhoo who requested the assistance of the MEPA to establish a new marine managed area within their local atoll.
In collaboration with the Rasdhoo Atoll Council (an elected body of representatives), the MEPA organized a series of stakeholder meetings to determine which areas are most important to the community, and to gauge their commitment to ongoing management and protection. We met with local fishermen, resort managers, NGOs, and religious groups who all use the area in distinct ways. One of the liveliest exercises was when the MEPA gave each group a map and stickers to mark areas that are most important to them. From fishermen who catch bait fish within the reefs, to resorts wanting to preserve areas for divers, each group was very opinionated. The MEPA is now compiling and comparing this information for review in development of an individual site, as part of a country-wide marine managed area system.
Through this bottom-up approach of establishing conservation priorities it became clear to me just how interconnected all these actors were with each other and their environment. The fishermen sell their catch to the resorts, the resorts work with the atoll councils on managing their waste, the local shop owners benefit from the cruise boats who visit the area for scuba diving, and on and on.
When we returned to the capital Male, the U.S. Department of Interior picked up the discussion at a macro level. With the Maldivian Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, they hosted a two-day workshop which brought together multiple government agencies, local and international NGOs, law enforcement, and the private sector to discuss how the country as a whole can go about protecting its natural resources in a systematic way. The open and frank discussion included case studies from Hawaii, and ranged from the types of laws required, to training of rangers, education of tourists and increased collaboration between government agencies. The mapping exercise was also conducted covering the entire country. All participants agreed on the need to expand the number of marine managed and protected areas and their shared responsibility for their unique and beautiful habitat.

A "boot camp on aging" for Baby Boomers is under consideration at Avenidas as the senior services agency braces for a spike in the area's senior population.
The downtown Palo Alto nonprofit, a gathering spot for retirees, fields several calls a week from entrepreneurs looking to test their startup products on real live old people.
Executive Director Lisa Hendrickson said she tries to accommodate the startups whenever she can, figuring that new products and services related to aging could only help as the Baby Boom generation morphs into a Senior Boom.
"This work, in whatever small way, is going to support development of some great stuff that's going to be fun and helpful to us," Hendrickson said.
By "us" Hendrickson means herself and the rest of the Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964 and now turning 65 in the United States at the rate of 10,000 a day. In Palo Alto, fully one-third of the population already is 55 and older, and the proportion of elders is growing.
Boomers will age differently than previous generations, predicts Hendrickson, a former banker who moved to the nonprofit world in mid-career and is now pondering her next professional phase. After 15 years at the helm of Avenidas she recently announced plans to step down and spend at least the next year managing a capital campaign to upgrade and expand the agency's facilities.
The current facility Palo Alto's historic fire and police building on Bryant Street is "bursting at the seams," she said.
"Baby Boomers are going to want way more choice we always have and we're going to expect services to be available to us because we've always had them available to us."
Hendrickson expects Boomers to demand and invent new solutions, just as they did when their now-adult children were infants and they confronted a shortage of child care. "Those of us who found that to be such a problem got involved, and child care options started to surface.
"I believe the same is going to be true for elder care to support Baby Boomers finding themselves dealing with family caregiver challenges," she said.
As more adults in their 40s and 50s find themselves caring for their parents due to longer lifespans, Hendrickson has noticed a growing and earlier awareness of concerns related to aging.
"I think people are finally 'getting it,'" she said. Caring for parents has "opened people's eyes to the issues and is also causing them to become planners. They say, 'We don't want our kids to go through what we went through.'
"It's better to have resources in place and identified ahead of time than to be operating in a crisis. To the extent we can help people plan and anticipate, we're doing more and more of that."
With social workers and information specialists on staff, Avenidas is better equipped than most traditional city-sponsored senior centers to help people navigate the housing, financial and health challenges presented by their parents' aging or their own, she said.
Hendrickson credits decisions made decades ago to establish the agency as an independent nonprofit rather than as a Palo Alto city department, as well as a strategy of charging fees for many services rather than offering them free to all. Fees now generate 30 percent of Avenidas's $4.2 million budget.
"We keep them low and try to keep them low enough that almost everybody can afford them, and we also give away a lot of services, too, at no cost," she said. "But the fee revenue from charging from some services has made it possible for us to continue to grow. There are senior centers that are low- or no-cost everywhere in the country, and they're struggling because they don't have that valuable source of revenue from those who can afford it."
A woman's bequest of her house to Avenidas two decades ago sparked establishment of an endowment, which has been built up over the years and now generates nearly a quarter of the agency's budget. City support 30 percent of the budget when the agency opened in 1978 is down to 10 percent.
But the "secret sauce" of Avenidas is the engagement and diversity of seniors themselves, she said.
"You could be playing chess or fall into a conversation over a cup of coffee with a retired doctor or a retired Stanford professor or a retired postal worker you just never know. One common denominator in general is that it's a very well-educated population, and the growth of our programming is a result of that."
Avenidas instituted Mandarin classes recently after a group of English-speaking seniors said they wanted to study the language.
"These are folks who are full of life, interesting and interested, and want to engage and learn, and we try to be responsive," she said.
Client demand has driven the closure of some programs, such as a traditional crafts shop, and the opening of others, like Avenidas Village, a seven-year-old, membership-funded program to support seniors who want to age in their own homes.
In her bid for more space, Hendrickson said she hopes to expand and upgrade at the current Bryant Street location but also will consider satellite venues in southern Palo Alto or elsewhere.
"The next challenge is going to be to take appropriate action and try to get ahead of this demographic change," she said.

From nonprofits to for profits, organizations are using social media to engage and interact with their followers. Twitter and Facebook are the two most popular sites used. Every time you join or like an organization or group, and like the status or comment, you are engaging with the organization of your choice. Organizations ask questions to the public, asking them to share their personal stories and experiences but the moment you comment back you are reflecting and thinking about the organization. Twitter allows for the organization to be more personable by retweeting your tweet on their page, making it intimate and allowing for more personal engagement.
Some organizations have learned to recover from social media mistakes as well. In early February of last year, someone at the Red Cross accidently posted a tweet to the Red Cross account that was meant for their personal Twitter account. Check out Twitter Faux Pas http://redcrosschat.org/2011/02/16/twitter-faux-pas/ As a result of this mistake, the Red Cross has received a lot of attention and traffic to its site. Because the Red Cross acted quickly and responded with humor, they were able to get a lot of support from the public as well as a donation from Dogfish beer.
Public relations through social media is allowing organizations and companies to easily connect with its followers and consumers. It is about maintaining the relationship with the public and social media provides this outlet as the public is occupied immensely with social media sites.

Revision as of 19:12, 16 August 2013
Pekelharing, a Dutch Mennonite family. Dirk Jelisz Pekelharing (1729-64), living at Zaandam, North Holland, married to Maartje Cornelis Kalf, who made sails for ships and windmills and also compasses, may have been a Mennonite; it is certain that his wife and his descendants belonged to the Mennonite church. His son Cornelis Pekelharing (1760-1800), a sailmaker at Zaandam, belonged to the Oostzijde Mennonite congregation and is said to have been the only adherent of the Orangist party in his congregation, all other members being Patriots. Cornelis' son Dirk Pekelharing (1783-1857) and his grandson Cornelis Pekelharing (1811-73) were both physicians, Dirk practicing at 's-Graveland and his son Cornelis practicing at Zaandam. Another son of Dirk, Klaas Rutger Pekelharing (1825-85), was a Mennonite minister, serving at Middelburg and Vlissingen 1849-84. He wrote an important paper, "Bijdragen voor de Geschiedenis der Hervorming in Zeeland," which was published in Archief VI (1866) of the "Zeeuwsch Genootschap," and also the Levens-Bericht of S. de Wind (Middelburg, n.d.). Dirk Pekelharing (1839-1908), a son of Cornelis, was a pastor of the Mennonite Surhuisterveen congregation 1864-1908. Other sons of Cornelis were Baltus Hendrik Pekelharing (1841-?), professor at the technical University at Delft, and Adrianus Cornelis Pekelharing (1848-?), professor in the medical school of the University of Utrecht. Many members of the Pekelharing family served the Zaandam-Oostzijde congregation as deacons, as for example Willem Jan Pekelharing (1851-1933), a merchant who was also for many years a treasurer of the Zaansche Fonds for the pensioning of retired and disabled ministers.

fiE Bethel College
Chuck Ha,aland tOI lend experie,nce
to Se,nate pro-tern position
Chuck Haaland, a senior from Forest
City Iowa, was elected pro-tem of the
Bethel Student Senate in a meeting last
Tuesday evening. Ohuck held the same
position last year, and has the most
seniority of anyone involved in the Senate.
"The job of pro-tem is one of the
key positions in the Senate," commented
Haaland. "It will certainly be a tremendous
challenge due to the restructuring
of the Senate and the additional
emphasis on senators serving on committees,
and general student enthusiasm."
This will be Chuck's fourth year in
Senate. He has previously served on
the Admissions, Convocations, Traffic
and Safety, and Finance committees,
as well as spea~heading the Heritage
"Hopefully, my experience will be helpful,
as I have attended Regents meetings
this year, and I know something
about the feelings and problems facing
Bethel presently. I also have some idea
of how the Regents think, and that is
quite important. This should be of help
to Pete (Taylor) too, as he is new
to this."
The responsibilities of the pro-tem include
running the Senate meetings when
the Vice-President is not there, attending
all Board of Regents meetings and
working in connection with all the student/
faculty committees.
"I'm excited about next year," concluded
Chuck. "Hopefully we will have
a great year. Also I am expecting a
much improved Clarion, with a far better
editor to work with. May Healy rest
in peace."

Senate, Comm Board drop KA-BY;
limited outreach, financial woes cited
by Dawn Hart
After three years of controversy over
the investments which are annually soaked
into the Bethel College radio station
KA-BY, the Senate, after recommendation
from the Communications Board,
has voted to withdraw all funding.
Following a debate on the question
of retaining KA-BY, the Communications
Board unanimously agreed that the investments
in the station should be halted
at the end of May. Reasons cited for
the dismissal of funding, as stated by
Dave Johnson, Communications Board
chairman, include: 1) KA-BY does not
adequately serve the entire Bethel Community;
2) the radio station is offering
only a limited academic experience; 3)
financial figures show an inadequate return
on investments; 4) the money could
be more beneficial to students if spent
in a better way.
Don Anderson, current KA-BY manager
agreed that it was up to the Bethel
community and the Senate to decide
the future of KA-BY. "I think it is
too bad that things happened the way
they did, though. I won't blame anyone
in particular because that's sour grapes.
I hope, however, that student interest
in electronic media won't die because
of these circumstances."
"KA-BY has had a hard history," explained
Anderson. "It's all a matter
of people's attitudes, especially those
who control the pocketbook. We were
always considered losers, so we were
amazed at the ground we gained. I
guess we started taking it for granted.
Now we've just been slapped in the
face to wake us up."
There are several remaining controversies
in regard to KA-BY which must
be settled. It is hoped that the equipment
which will sit idle from the broadcaster's
viewpoint, will be put to good
use. However, the Senate has struck
the gavel, and the station is now dead.

Media values analyzed
As reported this week in the Clarion (page 1), the Communications
Board and the Student Senate have recently
voted to withdraw financial support of radio station KA-BY
for the school year 1976-77. This decision is the culmination
of years of heated debate concerning the viability of KA-BY.
In making value judgments concerning Bethel media,
as was apparently done in respect to KA-BY, we feel that
certain principles must be applied, certain factors taken
into account. The key question that must be asked is:
"Is the medium (be it Clarion, Spire, KA-BY, or Coeval)
important to the Bethel community?" Obviously, this is a
difficult question, but it includes within it the examination
of certain factors, such as scope, general value, and popular
support. In other words, is it a meaningful medium that
services, and is supported by, a substantial segment of the
One of the problems in attempting to answer the above
question lies in the fallacy of judging the whole by its
parts. In other words, its the fallacy of judging the Clarion or
the Spire as an institution by the content of particular
Clarions and particular Spires. If a certain segment of the
community dislikes a certain yearbook or a certain newspaper
editorial policy, cries to abandon or radically alter
the institution are heard. This, to us, seems ridiculous_ No
medium will ever satisfy all groups in the community. Content
and publication (broadcast) policies change every year;
if, as seems to have been the case with KA-BY, the medium
fails, over a period of years, to meet the needs of the
community, then it is time for strong action. Not before.
The Communications Board is the committee empowered
and qualified to make such a judgment. The Board consists
of individuals who have specialized abilities and interests
relating to Bethel media. It is important that this Board,
because it is entrusted with such a responsibility, take
seriously these" considerations in aU decision making.
We hope that KA-BY was dumped according to these
general principles. And we hope that each medium will be
judged according to these same principles_

My Opinion
by Bryan King
Many people may ha ve been left confused after Bethel's
observance of National Food Day, April 8th. However,
the industrious elves who faithfully put cupcakes in our P.O.
boxes every spring were not completely caught off guard.
I appreciated the special consideration they showed by giving
me a healthful nutritious snack of celery, asparagus and
carrot, instead of the traditional cupcake_ Next year maybe
we'll get whole wheat muffins with apple butter.
It may very well be that elves, being Irish, are in a
better position to understand what Food Day meant since
some of the basic Food Day concepts are contrary to the
typical American mentality. Therefore I will devote the
remainder of this discussion to regular people.
The basic concepts relating to food problems can all be
identified in one basic assumption: every world citizen bas the
right to an adequate amount of reasonably priced, nutritious
Considering this right from a global perspective we are
called to view the world hunger problem in terms of oppressive
economic and social systems, government food
policy, foreign affairs and control of resources, :and agriculture.
We should help poor countries win back control of
their resources and develop improved agricultural production.
We should view welfare measures that intervene only in
famine situations (handouts) as inadequate emergency actions
whenever such :actions are not accompanied by efforts
to improve the economic and agricultural situation of the
As Christians we should be trying to remove conditions
that cause hunger and poverty. This means longer range
solutions that involve bringing our fellow man a brighter
future, not just a hold-over until the next famine.
A Christian organization which is currently involved in
bringing about such change is Bread For the World. I hope
to see Bethel start an Institutional Membership in this organization
which would allow us to learn about, and participate
in affirmative action at the government policy level.
This group has lobbyists on their staff and stUdents could
write to their representatives to influence legislation. (Contact
P.O. 524 for information about Bread For the World,)
A personal feeling that I have about the philanthropic
model of relating to hunger is that it may indirectly reinforce
economic and social roles that are oppressive to the
recipient while at the same time the giver feels that he
has taken care of his responsibility to his fellow man. Gifts
of money regardless of the amount, can become meaningless
acts of tokenism and self-righteousness if our total lives
do not reflect the concern we have. If our personal eating
habits (use of meat as the primary source of protein,
,over-eating and other unwise use of nutritional resources) do
not reflect the concern we Christians claim to have for hungry
people, how are we any different than the average guy
who throws away his food dollars at Farrell's Ice Cream
Money alone can be a very cheap impersonal thing
until it begins to effect our way of life.
Claiming our right to reasonably priced, nutritious food
in our own country can also be a problem. There is reason
to suspect that our freedom of choice, and our free enterprising
economy are being controlled by the food industry.

Corea 'iazz-concert "incredible"
by Dave McSparran '
Perhaps the most significant trend in
music in the 1970's has been the merging
of previously independent styles. Musicians
who have found rock music aesthetioally
unsatisfying, classical music
too limiting, and jazz unprofitable, have
united the best elements: the sophistication
and freedom of expression of
jazz and the audience involvement and
the energy of rock.
As jazz was slowly academicizing itself
to death in the early 1960's, jazzmen
denounced rock and roll while they
watohed it grow continually more popular.
With the coming of the '70's and·
the growing sophistication of the rock
idiom, the younger jazz musicians began
to incorporate the appealing energy of
rock into their styles.
One of the foremost leaders of the
jazz-rock merger was a jazz pianist named
Chick Corea, who in 1973 formed
the band that was to become the topranking
group in its field. "Return to
Forever" has since recorded five albums
along with solo albums by the group's
drummer, Lenny White, and bassist Stanley
Sunday night, April 10th, Chick Corea
and "Return to Forever" appeared in

does not have the best accoustics
for that type of concert. Many
of the finer, more subtle colorings could
not be heard and the very fast unison
passages were muddled by their own
I had seen them before in a much
smaller and more suitable room where
the sound was much rounder and softer
'and the incredible precision with which
the band plays was much more evident.
Yet the band was no less incredible
than when I last saw them. The rhythmical
precision with which they play
is almost inhuman. If, in fact, I were
to name an outstanding ,weakness, it
would be the band's (and the audience's)
preoccupation with speed and precision.
Yet is was not as if I · were listening
to a machine. Their precision was delicately
balanced by the tastefulness of
their composition. The melodic lines were
artfully balanced between the concrete
and the abstract, between the familiar
and the unfamiliar.
With a haunting, mysterious familiar·
ity, the melody lines would tempt me
into following them only to hear them
melt into unidentifiable abstraction, leaving
me lost, not unhappily, in the maze
of their complexity. The music never
quite allowed me to remain either coolly
detached or ecstatically involved, but
held me and pushed and pulled me
somewhere in between. I listened intently,
yet without a great flood of emotion.
This spell was tastefully complimented
by slides of early Rennaissance frescoes
shown on two large screens behind the

improvisation would become excessively
long, my mind would start to wander,

periods, however, were remarkably few
and short, and my attention would soon
be pulled back to the music.
There were distractions to be dealt
with also, the least of which not being

These distractions were easily bearable
in light of the overall excellent produc·
tion. With no warm-up act, one intermission
and one encore, the ' concert
was a perfect length. The various pieces
were also well-placed with regard to
their mood and intensity.
The encore 'piece ended with a very
loud and grandiose fanfare that seemed
an appropriate final statement. It left
me with the feeling that I got my money's
worth and it was time to go home.

·Dr. ~ene Glader will be P.E. department chairman
in new administrative set-up.
Athle,tic dept. split studied
by David Kevin Shelley
With the intent to "raise the significance 'of intercollegiate
sports ~nd intramurals in the larger context of student
development," · as Dean Brushaber expressed, a committee
is examining the possibility of separate leadership
of the PE and athletic departments.
The ad hoc committee, made up of students, faculty,
coaches, alumni and administrators, was appointed by the
dean to "review ' our intercollegiate and intramural programs
and priorities in relation to our objectives," he said.
"Most schools either combine the PE and athletic departments
or run them independently," said Dr. Brusha-ber.
"We've had separate budgets, but that's all. .
"Our idea is to have separate budgets and separate '
directors reporting to the dean," he said. Currently Dr.
Eugene Glader serves as athletic director and PE depart-ment
chairman. '
Dr. Glader has been llsked to remain PE chairman, but
others are under consideration for the athletic director pOsition.
Under separate directors, Dean Brushaber said that the
PE department chairman would report to the dean, while the
athletic director would first report to Dr. Nettleton, Dir-ector
of Student Affairs. .
"I believe the intercollegiate athletics should contribute
to the total benefit of the students," the Dean stated. "With
the athletic department reporting to Dr. Nettleton it will be
integrated with our objectives.
"It won't make more coaches or more dollars in the
budget, but it should aid in the growth of students involved,"
Dr. Brushaber said.
One of the problems the committee will have to deal with,
according to Dr. Nettleton who chairs it, is how much emphasis
there is upon intercollegiate athletics and intramurals.
"~tercollegiate athletics has something to do with the

For example, 80 percent of all vended foods are junk foods.
Closer to home, five out of five vending machines near the
coffee shop sell solid junk. Ninty percent of the food offered
in the typical grocery store has been overly refined, being
subjected to additives such as sugar, salt, artificial flavoring
and coloring, preservatives that are intended to prolong shelf
life, not your life. Ninety-five percent of all food advertising
is for junk foods and directed at little children.
Is this the American ideal of "free choice?" Maybe
its time we started talking about fair choice. Every person
should have natural untampered with food available without
the need for Nutrition World and other rip-off food freak
stores. Every person should have the right to grow up without
being conditioned by the mass media to make poor choices.
Our right to nutritious food has been seriously infringed
upon as well. Because of the problems referred to above and
the increased use of processed foods, pesticides and growth
hormones in livestock, we are facing a disastrous future.
After World War II Americans unleashed their technologyon
the food supply. Since then the quality of OUr diets
has progressively gone down hill. Consumption of dairy
products is down 21 percent, vegetables down 23 percent,
fruit down 25 percent. But during the same period the consumption
of soft drinks went up 80 percent, pastry up 70
percent and other junk ' snack foods went up 85 percent.
Diet related diseases such as obesity, heart disease,
diverticulosis, constipation, diabetes and bowel cancer account
for about one-half of all deaths in the United States
at present 1 Time will tell what effect today's typical diet
will have on our generation.
It is true that our average life expectancy may be
going up. This is due to the fact that vacines and other
improved medical practices have prolonged life to the point
where we have an increased opportunity to die from these
slower, degenerating, diet-related diseases.
I will let the reader draw his own conclusion to this
article. However, I would like 0 offer some ways in which
we can be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Develop an awareness of the political and economic
factors in world hunger. Spend your own food dollars wisely.
Reduce your consumption of meat. Learn combinations of
grains, seeds, nuts, etc., that may have protein which is
better for your body. Never buy Or consume junk foods and
explain why to other Christians when they ask. Shop at
co-op stores for natural, unprocessed foods at reasonable
prices as a boycott of the comerciallized food industry.
Join a buying Co-op :at Bethel (contact P.O. 1769). Let
the Bethel Food Service know that you insist on your right
to nutritious, additive-free foods. - (They are very open to
this kind of change.) Join the Minnesota Food Coalition or

1- A Last Wind
by Mark Johnson
and Bob Moeller
It is difficult to summarize a year's experience in
student government. There are just too many experiences,
faces, and events to sort through. Yet looking back, we'd
like to share some of what remains in our minds as significant
in terms of Senate activity:
1) Campus Security - The deep concern we expressed
last summer to the Board of Regents over the inadequate
state of security on campus, we believe helped to facilitate
the implementation of new procedures, e.g. lights around
the townhouses and parking lots, and controlled entrances.
We also suggested student patrols which has not yet been
acted on.
2) World Awareness - a.) We sent money during the
collapse of S. Viet Nam to aid relief efforts. b.) $1000.00
through World Vision. This January through a marathon
basketball game we raised nearlY' $1000.00 for Midwest Challenge.
Bethel has taken the leadership in organizing a nationwide
effort of hunger relief around Christian Colleges to begin
April 21st. Bethel's goal is well over $5000.00. c.) Bethel also
took the leadership in recycling waste paper on campus,
which is now being adopted throughout the nation by other
Christian Colleges. d.) Bowl of Rice program.
3) On Campus concerns - a.) The opening of a student
center on Old Oampus was realized the beginning of second
semester with the Roy L. Hop Memorial Union. b.) Input
was given into the formation of new integrated housing
patterns on Old and New Campus. c.) Bookdrops and coatracks
were added to meet the demands of higher enrollment.
d.) An · effort was made to begin a student fundraising
campaign to build more buildings. e.) Campus activities
included school-wide forums during chapel to confront
administrators. f. ~ Public debates in the AC Lounge.
4) Financial support of campus activities - a.) International
Students Club. Women's track, Senior retreat weekend
and Doc Dalton's coffee corner (replaced cups).
5) Representation - American Association of Evangelical
Students, Christian College Consortium, Board of Regents,
Minnesota Association of Private Colleges, Faculty
Meetings, and other various student-faculty committees.

Devotional Guide
In Matthew, some of Jesus' teachings
on the Kingdom of Heaven are recorded
in the Beatitudes. There, Jesus listed
many of the discouragements of the
human race and then teaches how he
will turn those to joys in , heaven.
Throughout the Bible's teachings on the
,Kingdom of Heaven, we find that God
.wants us to humble our spirits and
become as accepting as children, for
then and only then ' can we fully trust
God to carry through his promises. Each
day this week, read Matthew 5:1-12 before
the reading listed, and if you have
time, memorize those promises on the
Kingdom of Heaven.

Ask Von · Schueller
Dear Dr. Von Schueller:
Now that spring is here I'm finally getting around to
doing some work on my car. Lately it's making a funny
noise when I step on the gas quickly. What could be
wrong? Also, what can I do to improve my gas mileage
without sacrificing any power?
My dear Max:
Since you did not provide any sp~cific information about
your car, Le., year, make and model, mileage, etc., I shall
confine myself to general suggestions applicable to any
vehicle. Regarding the "funny noise" that accompanies rapid
acceleration, the following tests are pretty basic:
1. Examine the muffler bearings; they should be cleaned
and regreased every 3,000 miles. If any are pitted or cracked,
replace the whole set.
2. Check for cracks in the radiator manifold. Minor
cracks can b~ filled with Liquid Iron. If the break is too
serious, you'll need to drop in a torque-adjusted expansion
3. Check the fan ,belt linkage and adjust to the specs
listed in your owner's manual.
4. Test your rerarculator. If your car is at least five
years old and has original equipment, you might need to
replace it. It's probably losing compression. In such a case
I would strongly suggest that you ignore the standard
manual specs and have it set to .003 tolerance.
5. Is it possible that your distributor reroute valves
are sticking? If so, throw them out; they're just not worth
the trouble of fixing. (I recommend the new % hex-head
chrome-plated model.)
6. Check your voltage regulator bypass hoses. These '
are almost always improperly installed. There should be at
least 3/16" clearance between these and your alternator
mounting clamps.
7. Drain the ignition timing vacuum line and flush it
Granted, Max, these are fairly general sugge.sti9ns,
non-technical in nature. But you want maximum mileage
and power, so perhaps we should turn our attention to high
performance considerations.
You have doubtless given due attention to the omnipresent
carburetion dilemma. Simply stated, Max, the carburetor
count will vary in direct proportion to your topend
expectations. If you're satisfied with the 120-130 range,
then dual quads will probably be quite sufficient. Ho ever,
if you are really serious about maximum horse power and
M.P.K.'s, then certain other major engine alterations will
be in order.
Proceeding from the assumption that you are already
operating with a 5-speed turbo-hydromatic posi-traction fuel
injected ' powerplant, I would ask you to seriously consider
major revisions in your camshaft crankcase system. In short
.:::.- bore it out. Although the popularity of the reverse power
bore is undisputed, I am going to recommend that you . go
with the miniature metric hand bore. Although this will
require more time and effort, it will almost eliminate the
possibility of overboring with its concomitant danger to the
positive crankcase ventilation valve. Overboring, as you well
know, may also leave you with overtaxed circuit breaker
components and' might even pop the differential.
I would guess that your piston-pulley release latch is
kicking in at 6,000 r.p.m.'s. Obviously, this is costing you
'at least 2 h.p. as well as putting undue strain on the gearbox
In the final analysis, Max, it · all depends on what you
want and what you have to spend. If it were my car, I
would automatically install new einsteinium heads and a calibrated
master cylinder intake gauge. Then I ' would adjust
the brake shoe linkage to a high-performance tolerance of
.007. I would also double the number of generator stabiliZlation
ban and change the piston firing order from 1-8
4-3-6-5-7-2 to 3-7-4-8-1-6-2-5. If I had any money left, I would
change the stroke from 4.206" to 4.372" and push all the
rods to the clutch fork joint and cross-shaft the pressure
fitting. This would increase your mileage from 3 mpg to
4 mpg.
Well Max, there are a few routine check pOints. Good
luck, and let me know how things work out.

The Bethel women's softball team,
sporting their brand new royal blue and
gold uni's, out-colored, out-scored, and
out-fielded their foe Tuesday afternoon
in their season debut. The Royals defeated
St. Mary's College from Winona
before a home crowd of fourteen lighthearted
fans by a score of 13-6 at Perry
Senior Carla Gustafson started the Bethel
momentum early in the first inning
as she laid down a perfect bunt just
on the fair side of the third base line
for at! easy single. Julie Peterson followed
with a triple-base hit, driving in
Gustafson for the score. Terry Schimbeno
followed with another triple and an RBI.
Kim Modica sent Schimbeno in to score
as she sacrificed with a flyball to centerfield.
Sheri Drenner circled the diamond
for another score as she stole a couple
free bases and smartly took advantage
of an overthrow. The first inning ended
with Bethel ahead 4-0. The Royals maintained
their lead and their superiority
in the field throughout the game .
Cindy Martin provided the pitching
arm for the Royals, whizzing the ball
past four SMC batters for strike-outs.
Kim Modica and Terry Schimbeno each
contributed homeruns, menacing the
over-worked SMC outfielders more than
they appeared to be up for that day .
Bethel riddled the outfield with long,
solid drives for most of their fourteen
base hits.
"Everyone played, and everyone played
well," said Coach Ralph Gustafson. He
and his wife, ,Lynn, are team-coaching
this ye~r's sq':lad. Already the Royals
have equaled their last year's total wins.

Running in ideal weather condit~~:ms,
there were many individual highlights
jn the meet and many members of the
team had personal lifetime best performances.
Among the highlights ' were Gene
Blair's 49.6 first place finish in the 440-
yard dash; Larry Caldwell's 4:21 secondplace
finish in the mile run; and Dave
Clapp and Curt Brown's one-two finish
in the 880-yard dash, with times of 1:

yard intermediate hurdles and Steve
Hage finished the day with a third in
the 440-yard dash and a fourth in the
220-yard dash. Greg Kramer also gained
a fourth-place in the three-mile run as
did Clapp in the mile run. In the relay
events, Bethel's mile relay team of Hage,
Brown, Bill Whittaker, and Blair won
their event in a time of 3 :29.1 while
the 440-relay team of Doug Harrison,
Bruce Peterson, Phil LaGesse, and Blair
finished second.
In the field events, Ward Anderson
and Peterson led the way with their
second-place finishes in the javelin
throws and the pole vault, throwing 166'·
11" and jumping 13', respectively. Steve
Carrigan dominated the weight events
for the R'Oyals with a third-place finish

WOimen's traick
team improve-s
un,der D:awso,n
by Jim Morud
"I kick 'em in the pants a lot."
That's how Shirley Dawson explained
why her women's track team continues
to improve. But she says it in a warm,
concerned tone of voice that lets you
know she's trying to help the people
she works with. And because of her
encouragement, the women on the team
seem to ha ve a common respect for
But there is also ' something unique
about the Bethel women's tvack team.
Many of the members of the team had
never participated in track before entering
So why does a girl drop her studies
for two hours each afternoon to trade
that time for an intense workout 'On
the cincered oval?
Pam Hathaway, a sophomore art-elementary
education major, said, "After
exercising my mind all day in school,
I felt it would give me a balance to
have physical exercise. Also, track has
helped me to get involved with other
people outside the art clique."
Debbie Anderson, a somphomore music
major, added, "Running has improved
my lung capacity. It helps to have
healthy lungs in order to sing well. "
Others agreed that the conditioning
helps them to relax more, sleep better,
and even concentrate harder for studying.
But why choose such a demanding
sport as track? Coach Dawson explained
that track has some advantages that
other sports cannot afford.
"If you're really excellent as an individual,
then you can go as far as you
are capable of advancing - whereas
in team sports you can only go as
far as your team is able."
This is a building year for the women's
track team. Only two of the participants
are second-year runners. The remainder
are first-year performers.
"They have good attitudes and they
work very hard," commented Coach
Dawson. "But three months of training
doesn't make you a track athlete. It
takes about two years to make you
competitive in track."
On Monday, April 26, at 4 p.m., the
Bethel women's track team fin compete
at Macalester College in their final meet
of the season. The following Monday,
May 3, they will participate in the state
meet held at Mankato.

Space Vikings are vikings, but in space. They are the same, but slightly more organized and at the same time less organized. Aliens find their place in space viking factions easier than in any other as long as they are totally brutal and awesome. The VoL are sort of Space Vikings.

We are addicted, quite literally, to information.
Why is that? John Coates addresses the issue in his recently released book "The Hour Between Dog and Wolf."
It's all about dopamine — a much-researched neurotransmitter produced at the top of the brain stem which targets brain regions that control reward and movement.
"When we receive some valuable piece of information, or perform some act that promotes our health and survival, such as eating, drinking, having sex or making large amounts of money, dopamine is released along what are called the pleasure pathways of the brain, providing us with a rewarding, even euphoric, experience. In fact our brain seems to value the dopamine more than the food or drink or sex itself," explains Coates.
There are dopamine-driven cravings too. Recreational drugs, for instance, trick dopamine neurons into providing their rewards. But they're not the only thing that makes you yearn for more.
Coates elaborates:
"What else besides drugs of abuse can create a dopamine-driven craving? If dopamine fuels a desire for information and unexpected reward, perhaps it also fills us with a burning curiosity.
"Perhaps curiosity itself, the need to know, is a form of addiction, making us race to the end of a good mystery novel, or driving scientists to work day and night until they discover insulin, say, or decode the structure of DNA, scientific breakthrough being the ultimate hit of information.
"When the Theory of General Relativity dawned on Einstein, he must have had the mother of all dopamine rushes."
Dopamine doesn't simply make us want more information. It surges most when we're performing a physical action that leads to an unexpected reward, and this makes us want to repeat the actions we took to get to that point, or figure out new ways to do it. So, we're always looking for different "search patterns" as we quest for information.

News Feature
Originally published in Compass, June 26, 2014
Tour to feature historic homes
'All Around the Town'
"All Around the Town," the Stonington Public Library's 12th annual house tour, will feature five houses on Friday, July 11, from 1 to 4 p.m.
The tour is a benefit for the library, with the proceeds earmarked for weatherizing the 117-year-old library building, according to a news release from the library.
This year's homes are clustered at the east and west ends of town.
Built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the homes offer interesting histories as well as spectacular views of Stonington's iconic harbor.
All feature expansions and renovations that display the talent of local builders and artisans. Original architectural details, such as tin ceilings, wood floors and bead-board walls, have been lovingly preserved. The surroundings of the homes are always of interest. One owner describes her horticultural style as "gardening with granite and fog."
The houses will be numbered for identification and may be visited in any sequence. All are within one mile of the library, which is located downtown on Main Street.
Tickets are available at the library, as well as at Boyce's Motel, Dockside Books, Island Approaches, and the Turtle Gallery.
Tickets will be on sale at the library on the day of the tour. For more information, call 367-5926 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Some marvelous novels vigorously refute the idea that so-called "literary fiction," the serious stuff, must be a tedious chore to read, like a bad-tasting medicine whose healing properties are somehow confirmed by the fact that you want to spit it out, first chance you get.
Let's start with Penelope Lively, because her new novel is such a spellbinding surprise. The 79-year-old author has been turning out great novels with Pez-dispenser efficiency for decades now, including "Moon Tiger," which won the 1987 Man Booker Prize, and personal favorites such as "The Road to Lichfield" (1977), "According to Mark" (1984) and "Family Album" (2009).
When a writer is as good as Lively, for as long as she has been that way, a certain complacency surely sets in among her readers.
"Of course this is wonderful," you catch yourself murmuring. "Why wouldn't it be?"
The same fate must befall other exquisitely gifted literary craftswomen with notable work ethics such as Alice McDermott and Anne Tyler. Another day, another extraordinary novel.
Yet "How It All Began" is a revelation. While Lively's novels always feature intelligent people who use their brains to negotiate their way through a complex and sometimes perilous world, "How It All Began" is also about feeling. Lively creates one of the most authentic and moving love affairs in contemporary literature. It makes the plight of those sullen, simpering teens in the "Twilight" series look anemic and dull.
Charlotte Rainsford, a retired teacher, is mugged. That act — done anonymously, leaving Charlotte with a broken hip — initiates a run of contingent events that affect Charlotte's daughter, her daughter's husband, her daughter's employer, and on and on. Lively reminds us of the earnest, obtuse fumbling that constitutes most of what happens in a human life, the coincidences and accidents that are as much in charge as are the explicit decisions.
Charlotte, the narrator explains, "is as much a product of what she has read as of the way in which she has lived; she is like millions of others built by books, for whom books are essential foodstuff, who could starve without."
Compare this nuanced portrait of an older woman with an earlier depiction — the title character in Stewart O'Nan's dreary and insultingly one-dimensional novel, "Emily, Alone" (2011) — to appreciate Lively's achievement.
Charlotte is old, yes, but that only means her perspective is broader: "You are on the edge of things now," she reminds herself, "clinging to life's outer rim. You have this comet trail of your own lived life, sparks from which arrive in your head all the time. …"
Among the ways Charlotte chooses to spend her convalescence is tutoring a middle-aged immigrant named Anton, who possesses "large, dark brown eyes that to Charlotte are interestingly foreign; these are not homely English eyes, they are eyes from elsewhere, central European eyes, eyes with forests in them, and Ruritanian castles. …"
He can speak English, but reading it is still a challenge. Thus he and Charlotte set to work — and that, like every small twist in the road in this superbly well-plotted novel, sheds ever-widening concentric rings of consequences.
To detail even minor aspects of the plot twists in Jane Harris's "Gillespie and I" would necessitate an additional crime: You'd want to kill me. So delectably well has Harris constructed this psychological thriller that even the slightest hint of what's to come would spoil things.
I will say only this: The year is 1888, and Harriet Baxter, a solitary woman with a comfortable inherited income, decides to leave her London home to attend the International Exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland. There she becomes friendly with Ned Gillespie, a young Scottish artist, and his lively family. Harriet narrates the story, and we come to admire her good intentions, her selfless devotion to the needy clan. Soon, however, a horrendous tragedy occurs, forcing the reader to consider some unsavory possibilities.
Harris masterfully retrieves the world of late 19th-century Glasgow — the fog-swaddled streets, the narrow staircases in crowded apartment houses that are "redolent of many gravies." The novel is long, but never feels that way; each scene is like a landing on one of those steep, endless staircases. While you climb, you may cringe and shudder — but you do not, you cannot, stop climbing.
These novels are eloquent, engaging reminders of the power of fiction, of how it both sustains and entertains.
"He rattled through the darkness, reading": That is Lively's description of Anton, so eager to learn English that he opens a book every chance he gets, including his daily commute on the London subway.
And so it is with many of us. The world is strange and confusing and mysterious and often disappointing — and we rattle through the darkness, reading.
JULIA KELLER is the Chicago Tribune's cultural critic. She won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.

The Henry T. Oxnard Historic District, located in downtown Oxnard, California, and the Wilson Neighborhood, welcomes you to our historic community. As homeowners in one of the city's earliest subdivisions, we take great pride in the charm of our historic neighborhood and surrounding community.
That pride is reflected in carefully manicured landscaped yards and sensitively restored homes. Ten city blocks reveal wonderful surprises in - Craftsman, Spanish Colonial, Period Revival bungalows and eclectic homes. If you work downtown or in the greater Oxnard area, like to attend cultural events or take in a movie, the Oxnard Historic District neighborhood is the perfect place to live.
About the Henry T. Oxnard National Historic District
The Henry T. Oxnard National Historic District is unique because it began as the "heart" of Oxnard, and, in many respects, remains so to this day. The neighborhood is still home to the same blend of community leaders, professionals and trades people as it was at its inception.
The first residential areas in Oxnard were established in the adjacent Hill tract ("C" through "E" Streets) when the City was plotted out in 1898. The Henry T. Oxnard subdivision opened in 1911: including "F" Street from Fifth Street to Magnolia Avenue. It was the "finest subdivision with a broad street, exceptionally deep lots and first-class residences"; as the advertisements of the day announced. Later, other tracts were added; including the Tom Hill tract, which is now Magnolia Avenue; the Henry Lathrop addition of "G" Street; the Lathrop addition of Colonia Gardens; the Palm Drive tract; the Lathrop-Eastwood subdivision; and the Dawley subdivision. These expanded the town boundaries first west, then north.
The "F" Street portion of the Henry T. Oxnard subdivision and the "G" Street portion of the Lathrop subdivision make up The Henry T. Oxnard National Historic District. This neighborhood was home to dentists, lawyers, physicians, merchants, confectioners, carpenters, bank officials, sugar beet factory officials, ranchers and machinists. The local business owners as well as their employees built and lived in the district.
The residences in the district range from small craftsman bungalows and revival cottages to large two-story craftsman, revival, and prairie-style bungalows. Most of the subdivision continued to be developed in the classic California bungalow styles until the 1920's when the revival styles reached the apex of their popularity.
The 144 homes were placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 1999 because it has one of the highest ratios of contributing structures: meaning the homes have not been greatly modified and because the neighborhood has maintained its character, many of the homes have remained within the same family for generations.
2019 Autumn Historic Home Tour - September 22
Tickets available August 1.

Nano*High: Nature's Nasty Nanomachines: How Viruses Work, and How We Can Stop Them
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
The birth and growth of nanotechnology is only a few decades old, whereas Nature has been building nano-machines for millennia. Viruses are marvels of natural nano-engineering, but can pose a problem for human health. To combat these nano-machines, scientists are turning to recent developments in nanotechnology to prevent infection and cure disease.
Carolyn Bertozzi is the T.Z. and Irmgard Chu Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology at UC Berkeley, an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Director of the Molecular Foundry, a nanoscience institute at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She completed her undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Harvard University in 1988 and her Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley in 1993. After completing postdoctoral work at UCSF in the field of cellular immunology, she joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1996.
Prof. Bertozzi's research interests span the disciplines of chemistry and biology with an emphasis on studies of cell surface glycosylation pertinent to disease states. Her lab focuses on profiling changes in cell surface glycosylation associated with cancer, inflammation and bacterial infection, and exploiting this information for development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. In addition, her group develops nanoscience-based technologies for probing cell function and for medical diagnostics.
