Algeria profile - Timeline
A chronology of key events:

1963 - Ahmed Ben Bella elected as first president.
1965 - Col Houari Boumedienne overthrows Ben Bella, pledges to end corruption.
1976 - Boumedienne introduces a new constitution which confirms commitment to socialism and role of the National Liberation Front (FLN) as the sole political party. Islam is recognised as state religion.

1978 - Boumedienne dies and is replaced by Col Chadli Bendjedid, as the compromise candidate of the military establishment.

Earth : Asia : South Asia : India : Plains (India) : Madhya Pradesh : Jabalpur-Sagar Division : Orchha
Orchha is a town in Madhya Pradesh near the banks of Betwa river. The medieval city of Orchha seems to have frozen in time, its palaces and temples still retaining their original grandeur. Orchha had the distinction of being the capital of one of the largest and most powerful kingdoms of Central India. The Bundela Rajput chieftain, Rudra Pratap, founded the city, located by the side of the beautiful Betwa River, in the 16th century. The word Orchha means 'hidden'. When the Tughlaqs, who were ruling Delhi in the 15th century, pushed the Bundelkhand rajas out of Garkhundar, they retreated to distant Orchha.
Get in
From Agra/Delhi/Gwalior: Take a train to Jhansi station, and then hire a car or auto-rickshaw to Orchha which is 15KM away. By auto-rickshaw, it takes about 40 minutes; by car, 20 minutes. The listed price at the pre-paid taxi stand was 200 rupees, however, you'll have to negotiate the price with the driver that you take.
You can reach Orchha while returning to Jhansi from Khajuraho, as a detour. While coming to Jhansi from Khajuraho, when you reach on the outskirts of Jhansi city, take left on the Orchha Tigaila(triangle). That road will lead to Orchha. There is a small railway station at Orchha in which only very few trains stop. Jhansi - Khajuraho Passenger(229A) has stoppage at Orchha. Khajuraho - Jahnsi passenger (230A) reaches Orchha by 4:45Pm. Orchha railway station is 5Kms away from Orchha town. Hire a rickshaw and pay 50Rs max to get to Orchha. RITESH YADAV IN RIVAR SIDE
Get around
The village is small enough that you can walk most of it.
Orchha is a tiny farming town dotted with historical sites. Of note:
A very small market starting from the main crossroads in front of the Ram Raja temple, coming towards the temple compound, is full of small shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, beaded chains, gemstones, and other such items. If you are good at bargaining, you can enjoy the shopping here.
There are a number of small quaint street restaurants near the entrance to the palaces, serving inexpensive Indian, Asian and assorted "Western" cuisine.
Orchha has a booze shop in the prominent market place. Don't expect big brands here. If you stay at the pricier accommodations suggested here, you have an attached bar option. But otherwise there are no bars or private pubs.
Get out
You can get an auto rickshaw driver to take you to Jhansi for around Rs.200.
A round trip to Khajuraho by taxi can be arranged at any of the travel agencies for around Rs.2000.

How The Face Of A 9/11 Terrorist On A Driver's License Showed Up In A Facebook Ad
That's an ad for car insurance that popped up on Facebook the other day. See anything wrong with it? It's okay, I didn't notice it at first either but the photo in the ad isn't a random drivers license picture, instead it's the face of Mohamed Atta, one of the terrorist who crashed a plane into the Twin Towers on 9/11.

TV3 is waiting on taxpayer funding for another series of The GC - about a group of taut, terrific and telegenic young Maori living on Queensland's Gold Coast.
It is understood that TV3 and producers have sought funding from the Maori broadcasting funding agency Te Mangai Paho (TMP) and an application will be decided soon.
Last year New Zealand On Air was criticised for giving $420,000 for series one of The GC amid gripes about its style and lack of Maori cultural content - which NZ On Air initially conceded was less than expected.
It would be ironic if series two had a similar level of Maori content and got funding from a Maori cultural agency.
Opinions on series one were mixed. Producer Bailey Mackey said some critics just did not like to see young Maori being successful. The show had drawn respectable ratings and it was notably high among Maori.
It was light, bright and aspirational - some might call it tabloid TV.
TV3 confirms a second series is "in the pipeline" but declined to comment further.
Mackey did not return calls and TMP would not say whether The GC has sought cash. It is possible TMP will want changes to meet its Maori language focus.
But they would have to be balanced by TV3's need to ensure it is light and accessible enough to attract a sizeable audience.
The decision on the show's funding will highlight how far public bodies are prepared to fund commercial content aimed to boost networks' bottom line.
In an ideal world TV3 should pay for its own content rather rely on a handout from taxpayers, don't you think?
TMP might enjoy having a prime-time hit, but that may be taking money away from worthy shows that would screen off-peak and get a smaller audience. If it backs The GC, some worthy non-commercial content may not see the light of day.
New Zealand On Air did not receive an application for series two. Like TMP, it is meant to fund shows deemed not commercial but is under pressure to fund commercial content for the TV networks to boost profits. The danger is a fall in quality control.
Michael Laws will step down as nine-to-noon host on MediaWorks RadioLive next Thursday, to be replaced by Sean Plunket the following Tuesday.
That might hand the hard-nut talkback listeners to Leighton Smith on Newstalk ZB.
But in my opinion Plunket will be a game changer in Auckland talk radio - much more so than Duncan Garner on RadioLive's drive time show. I'm picking he'll draw people away from Kathryn Ryan on Radio New Zealand National.
The Vote starts next week and will run monthly in the 3rd Degree 8.30pm Wednesday slot. The first debate will be about a tax on unhealthy foods.
I was one a bunch of journalists invited to a dress rehearsal last week. At least TV3 is trying to be serious about current affairs. It reminded me of CNN's Crossfire, with Linda Clark acting as a referee.
Last week Clark was among Chapman Tripp advisers for Solid Energy - including chief executive Don Elder's appearance at a recent high-profile select committee hearing. Clark acknowledges she is not a journalist and she will notify TV3 about any potential conflicts of interests with her Chapman Tripp role, but in my opinion she is the wrong person for this role.
Rachel Smalley would have been good, if she was not already flat out ... or maybe Plunket.
New Whybin TBWA New Zealand executive creative director Toby Talbot thought his New Zealand experience, overseeing the Sky TV ad account for DDB, would help him in his UK role, running the advertising account for BBC.
"But it is not at all comparable just in terms of the scale of the place," he says.
Talbot is returning from his role as group executive creative director for the London ad agency RKCR/Y&R - which last year was ranked second London ad agency for winning business.
It was a buzz pitching in London, he says. "My main client was the BBC," he says. "After Sky I thought I knew a thing of two, but the BBC was an eye opener because of the scale and the complications of different stakeholders."
Talbot was involved in relaunching BBC's digital radio and latterly current affairs through BBC World news. He spent time at the BBC headquarters during the earlier days of the Jimmy Savile scandal. "It was kind of like the Salem witch hunt ... police going door to door at the BBC interviewing people of a certain age who had been around the BBC a long time."
As for the London business scene, the expatriate Englishman who has returned to New Zealand said the global financial crisis had been harsh on Britain.
"Looking around at the empty shops, it's like a face with a couple of teeth missing."
Talbot worked with NZ Lotteries Commission chief executive Todd McLeay on the Lotto account, now McLeay is chief executive of Whybin TBWA.
McLeay is not the first marketer to run an ad agency, but he interrupted his progression for a shortish spell in the media where he was chief operating officer at APN News & Media - publisher of the NZ Herald.
It just seems as each year goes by the pace of change in the media increases and in the past 15 years we have never reached the stage where everybody sits back with their cigars, McLeay says. Media are facing disruptive models, and that is going to affect more and more industries, McLeay says.
It was challenging for industries to work in the middle of that change, he says.
"If you hold back and hope that everything will be clearer, then it is probably not going to happen and you are going to wind up in a worse position. The biggest risk is in not doing anything."
As for his marketing experience, he repeated the common view among outsiders that advertising people should not get caught up too much in the awards culture. "Advertising people like to talk a lot about their work. There is a high emphasis on awards and I am not sure that clients care that much. On the client side I have yet to see where awards are included in the KPIs," he says.
A belated mention of the death last month of New Zealand resident scriptwriter Alan Sharp, who died aged 79.
He was perhaps best known in the movie world for writing the script for the 1995 film Rob Roy starring Liam Neeson. He wrote the script for the NZ-British co-production Dean Spanley directed by Toa Fraser in 2008.
New Zealand film producer John Barnett said Sharp - who divided his time between New Zealand, Scotland and Los Angeles - was a real player in the business. He wrote for films by John Huston, Sam Peckinpah and Arthur Penn among others.
Barnett says that while Sharp was a mentor to some local writers "it was a shame he was not recognised more in New Zealand".
New Zealand Film Commission chief executive Graeme Mason says Sharp was "a good guy, very helpful".
An obituary in the New York Times said Sharp's script for Arthur Penn's Night Moves "epitomised Sharp's dark vision and caustic wit".

• Tuition increase- see page two
• Sno-Daze- see page two
• Editorial- we need a performing arts center- page three
Sno-Daze includes
a faculty sno-job
By Jack Starr
The second semester of classes at Bethel this year is to be
kicked off by a week-long Sno-Daze celebration. Because of
its opportune time, and because it is the first major event of
the second semester, Sno-Daze will be, in the words of Bev
Kiel, coordinator of the Sno-Daze activities, "more than its
has been in past years." Starting at, noon, next Monday, Sno
Daze begins with a snow sculpture contest and continues
throughout the week with athletic events and an intramural
broomball tournament. The festivities will draw to an end on
Saturday evening. The broom ball games will take place on
Lake Valentine during afternoons and evenings of the week
with the possibility of a championship game Saturday morning.
There are five teams at the time of this writing with
openings for more.
The snow sculpture contest will begin Monday at noon
and continue until judging at 3 p.m. Saturday. The winners
will be announced Saturday night. The teams building sculptures
should be no larger than 20 people. They may be either
all-male, all-female, or cooed. The sculptures should be made
of snow only or ice with no other materials used for support,
such as chickenwire, wood, etc.... Any type of coloring
agent may be used to decorate the sculptures and they may
not be larger than 25 feet by 25 feet. The sculptures should
also be built within eyesight of the academic complex. Judges
for the event are to be Keith Tekautz, George Robinson, and
Larry Ostrom and they will be judging on size, originality, and
artistic value . The judges were not available for information as
to how they might be bribed, but such matters may be taken
up with them personally.
Festivities begin in earnest Friday evening, February 15,
with a special Sno-Daze buffet in the cafeteria. That evening,
at 8 p.m., will be a concert featuring the Oakridge Boys'
Gospel Quartet. Tickets will be $2.00 general admission and
$1.00 with SAC.
Saturday activities will start at 10:30 a.m. with the
Championship Game of the Broomball Tournament, plans for
which at this date are tentative. In the afternoon, at 1 p.m. at
the football field, will be a football game for any guys that
don't mind getting wet and cold. At 2 p.m. will be a football
game for guys and any girls who don't mind beating a group
of wornout, cold and wet guys. The rules for the guys vs. girls
game will be modified somewhat in that it will be tackle football
and the guys will hop on one leg. At 3 p.m. all of the cold
and wet guys and girls will go into the cafeteria for hot cider
and donuts while the judging of the snow sculptures is going

Saturday night Bethelites will be treated to a 'Royal SnoJob'
at 8 p.m. which will include some faculty and staff in a
variety show. Talent featured will include the History and
Political Science Departments, Dean Virgil Olson, Tom Johnson,
Duane Lind, Dale Rott, Gerry Healy, and Eddie Thomas.
This, however, is only part of the show. But as for details on
the rest, all that Bev Kiel would say was that she wouldn't say.
But it will be "very strange," with an emphasis on the light
and comical. Ticket prices will probably be $1.00 and couples
admitted for $1. 50.
Members of the Sno-Daze committee are Bev Kiel, Debbie
Hartman, Rosie Wirth, Phil Carlson, Jim Bjork, Pat Repp, and
Steve Larson.
Beast of tuition grows
again; still bites, but
is not fatal- yet
by Mark L. Freeman
Next year Bethel Students can expect a slight rise in the
cost of attending Bethel. A four percent rise in the price of
tuition will bring the cost of nine courses up to $1,980, a rise
of $72 over this year. The four percent increase is less than the
annual inflation rate, and is, as the chart indicates, a smaller
price rise than those announced by other local liberal arts
schools. Bethel Hamline Augsburg
73-74 74-75 73-74 74-75 73-74 74-75
1,908 1,980 2,250 2,450 1,845 2,115

450 475
2,808 2,980 3,400 3,600 2,945 3,276
The chart also shows that some adjustments will be made
in the cost of board next year. Students living on campus next
year will be required to purchase a minimum of $225 of food
coupons per semester. The figure in the chart for next year 's
board does not represent the minimum figure for food coupon
purchase, but a figure the dean's office estimates to be a minimum
expenditure for a year's food bill at Bethel. A modification
of the food service plan will require all old campus residents
to buy $100 worth of food coupons per semester.
The price of residence on the new campus next year will
rise twenty-five dollars to $475. However, this rise will actually
asorb the annual $27 telephone bill, so the real cost of housing
will go down two dollars. Most readers of this article will
not benefit from this reduction however, as the present new
campus residences will be used to house next year's freshmen .
It is unlikely, but not impossible, that there will be new housing
on campus for the fall term.

Bob Bergerud
Bethel tourney
by Tim Martens
The Second Annual Bethel College
Interim Monopoly Tournament has once
again revitalized the spirits of college
capitalists. Defending champion Steve
Larson battled diligently and skillfully
through the first few tournament rounds
only to be beaten back by the indomitable
Bob Bergerud. The high interest in
the game was revealed by the nineteen
participants who played the five games in
the fIrst round. In order to eliminate
some of the luck and substitute it with
some skill, the top two people in each
game advanced to the next round. Bob
Bergerud advanced rapidly in the tournament
completely dominating his first two
games. The championship game, however,
was a real challenge to the professional.
In fact, at one point Steve Larson appeared
to have his second Monopoly championship
all wrapped up. But the money manipUlation
and the dice dexterity exhibited
by Bob Bergerud overpowered the mighty
magnate Steve Larson.
I'm sure people wondered at the intensity
of the games when they saw sleeves
rolled up, fists full of money, and the
players alternately licking lips in anticipation.
Before the tournament Bob Bergerud
mentioned to me that no matter what the
outcome he would be a loser. If he lost
what would people say? or if he won
what would people say?
The Monopoly Tournament is now on
its way to being established as a tradition

Reactions at
'74 Founders
Week positive
by Raymond Stockwell
Founders' Week fulfills many functions.
It is a second home-coming, a series
of seminars for clergy, a public relations
campaign for Bethel, a vacation, a time of
fellowship, and so forth.
In the words of President Lundquist,
"This year Founders' Week was oriented
toward pastors." However, that did not
mean the average layman or student
couldn't profit from the meetings.
When asked to comment on this year's
Founders' Week as opposed to other
Founders' Weeks, Eric "The Swede" Borgeson,
maintenance engineer on old-campus
commented, "Ya, it gets better all
the time." Many of the students who
attended felt that the week was a personal
blessing to them, though some did
express concern that class scheduling interfered
with attendence at many of the
The seminars this year covered such
widely varying topics as "Kinship and
Kinning" to "Cable T. V. and the Church."
All seminars were geared to the central
topic of what can be done by the local
The underlying theme of the week,
"The Local Churches' Participation in
Evangelism," was kicked-off Monday night
by a steak dinner, the likes of which may
scarcely be seen again at Bethel. That
theme was developed further through the
seminar sessions, through the daily hours
of fellowship, and even through the chapel
Asked to comment on Founders' Week
speakers, Dean Miles, a freshman, remarked,
"Bernard Ramm was excellent,
we should have more like him." Paul
Lenz, a junior, noted "There were several
preachers and several teachers; Ray
Stedman was one of the teachers, and I
really appreciated him. "
Many different approaches to evangelism
were expressed, as was quickly evidenced
by the "kinship" seminars delivered
by Dr. Thomas Correll of Bethel
as opposed to the Friday night "global
concern" message delivered by Mervin
Rosell of Bethel Seminary. Dr. Correll
spoke of evangelism in the context of
cultural assimilation, while Mervin Rosell
spoke of evangelism in the context of
breaking down cultural differences.
When asked if Founders' Week had
been a personal blessing to him, President
Lundquist answered, "It has been a rich
experience for me personally." Dr. Harold
Christenson, general chairman of Founders'
Week, said, "I think it went just
Founders' Week showed, in many varying
ways, how God is using his people
to accomplish His work throughout the
world. Very often Christians become content
with their Christian experience, but
the men and women who spoke at the
Founders' Week meetings were people
who could best serve as examples to us
as those who are striving for the mark of
perfection in their daily walk with Christ.

Allen and Charlotte Friburg comment on dorm life at Old Campus
Fribergs won't trade
Edgren guys for anything
by Doug Johnson
Four and one half years ago Allen
Friberg was a senior in structural engineering
at Oregon State University, and very
turned on by the church. Then an engineering
professor led him and his fiancee,
Charlotte, to Christ. Today Al is a student
at Bethel Seminary and he and his
wife, Char, are Edgren's dorm parents.
After graduating, Al was well on his
way toward his three goals, "a split-level
house in the suburbs, a family, and a good
job with a good income and a chance for
fame." Married in August of that year,
1969, he and Char settled in Bremerton,
Washington (near Seattle), and Al got a
job with potential, in research engineering
at the Navy shipyards. But they also
started attending a small American Baptist
church where the pastor was a Bethel
One and a half years later, a turning
point came at a Lay Institute for Evangelism,
when the Lord began leading them
toward evangelism. "There we finally
learned how to be filled with the Spirit,"
Al said, "which was the same thing our
pastor had been talking about all along,
but we had never understood." In 1971
Al scrapped his old goals and they joined
the lay division of Campus Crusade for
Christ in Seattle, which Al directed last
year. Working this way Al lost all his
negative feelings toward the church, and
soon discovered he needed more training,
especially in the area to which he felt
called, teaching.
During these years a close friendship
grew with another young Christian couple,
Dana and Brenda Connolly. Al had worked
with Dana at the shipyard, and they
were attending the same church. This
relationship and the Institute for Basic
Youth Conflicts have been the major
sources of personal growth for Char and
AI. Independently of each other, Dana
and Al decided to come to Bethel Seminary.
"Your full service friendly bank"
Phone 4S 1-6822
633 S. Concord
South St. Paul, Minn.
"The major reason for choosing Bethel
was the pastor of that American Baptist
church," Al said. The second reason is
AI's purpose in attending seminary. "I
really want a good grasp of the content
of the Scriptures, and then to know how
to interpret and communicate them."
Bethel, he gathered from the catalog,
would help him to do this individually
and not stereotype him.
After graduating, Al hopes to hold a
pastorate for a few years and then teach
overseas. "We've really been drawn towards
the Far East," he said.
Asked how they came to be dorm
parents, Al said, "I really don't know. The
idea just struck us that dorms had dorm
parents, so I wrote both the seminaries
where I had been accepted, and Bethel
had an opening. I'd already decided for
Bethel, but that clinched it." This job,
plus Char's job at Penney's, have met all
their financial needs.
Being dorm parents was "quite a shock
at first, to be leading a public life - but
we're enjoying it more and more as we
get to know the fellows. We wouldn't
trade it for anything now." Char and Al
are going to be here for three years.
Their biggest problem is getting to
know everyone. "We've found that, apart
from the students, to whom it doesn't
really matter, it would help to have a
General Conference background to break
the ice," Al said.
Regarding dorm discipline, Al says
there has been no problem yet. Bethel
and this generation of students are more
interested in booking than his generation
was, he feels. But he doesn't know what
to expect when snow melts, when the
trees bud, and when the guys' spirits
grow restless.
Plan ahead
seniors, attend
placement talk
by Chuck Jackson
Dennis Passons, director of placement,
will hold a meeting for all seniors who
have not consulted with him on the su bject
of placement on Monday and Tuesday,
February 11 and 12, at 5:30 p.m. in
the dining center. Two sessions are being
held to accomodate an expected large
attendance. If the Monday session is
overcrowded, seniors are encouraged to
come back Tuesday.
At these meetings Passons will distribute
important literature from the
Placement Office. Specifically, the confidential
file will be discussed. It is Passon's
feeling that every senior should
understand its scope and its necessity.
"Such a file could have a very beneficial
career impact," he said.

Theatre deserves
better facilities
The two Interim theatrical productions, Fiddler on the
Roof and Sleeping Beauty, deserve much commendation, and
are significant in several ways. We cannot recall a theatrical
week at Bethel College when there was as much professional
excellence, group dedication, and community influence and
interaction as there was that last week of Interim. Those of us
who do not participate in such activities may have some difficulty
understanding the dedication of people to the performing
arts; yet the 10,000 plus who attended those productions
clearly understood, having an image indelibly etched
in their minds that Bethel College produces quality, first-rate
theatrical experiences. In plain English, Bethel has made a
decided impact on the surrounding communities. And according
to Dr. Don Rainbow, "(children's) plays have always been
considered to be for the community; our potential is terrific."
We agree.
Dr. Robert Berglund remarked that, "It (Fiddler) was fun
and took much hard work. Dale Rott and I were very pleased
with the members of the cast, and although we expected it to
be good, it exceeded our expectations." And ours, we should
add. For example, Kevin Norberg, in the role of Tevye,
exceeded, in our opinion, the level of usually good collegiate
acting. Other contributing factors were the excellence of all
the actors, the musically satisfying singing, and the professional
orchestration in which four Bethel musicians took part.
What will the future bring for theatre at Bethel? Rainbow
remarked that the lack of space challenged his creativity.
Berglund said "that with the present facilities there is no way
that I would undertake such a production again. We wanted to
prove (this time) what we were capable of doing." Berglund
recalled rehearsal conflicts when the Fiddler cast worked "14,
15, 16 or 18 hours a day, sometimes not getting into the gym
until 10 o'clock at night, working sometimes till 3 a.m.,
beginning again at 8: 30 in the morning." Still, Berglund
commended the physical education department for its cooperation,
but said that they also agreed the effort was one of
mutual frustration. We cannot blame either department for
its concern on this matter.
Posed with bursting creativity and community influence
on one hand, and with limited space and facilities on the other,
we are left with no real option but to call for the serious
consideration of a fully equipped performing arts center. Currently
proposals call for a lecture hall to be built, without
benefit of a stage, back-stage, orchestra pit, elevator, storage
areas, or stage entrances, in which all future theatre events are
to be shoe-horned. It is our feeling that to go through with
such a plan would be a serious mistake. We think that a fully
equipped performance-lecture center is the only sensible
choice, even if we must wait one or two extra years to get it.
The problem, however, is not that simple. Bethel has some
serious financial needs. We cannot realistically request that
all the necessary funds be transferred from the general college
fund for the construction of a deluxe performing arts center.
Rather, we need to seek out foundations which have a specific
interest in and money for the performing arts field. The benefits
should be obvious; the foundation would gain great
satisfaction and recognitio"n for donating to a worthy cause,
(and one which is eminently capable of providing excellent
theatre), and the college would gain the facilities it needs to
continue to export this facet of Bethel 's quality liberal arts
experience. Again, in the event such funds are not secured in
the immediate future, we think the College should wait and
raise the money in another manner, instead of putting up a
white elephant lecture hall that would be outdated before the
mortar was dry.
For students not involved in the intracacies of financial
give and take, these arguments may seem somewhat remote.
Yet there is something which every student is fully capable of
doing. Not only for the proposed performing arts center but
also for the pressing financial needs of the college, prayer is
probably the most powerful tool with which to bring about
the much-needed end of a performing arts center, and the
greater end of financial solidarity for the college. President
Lundquist has informed us that possible progress, in regard to
the performing arts center, may be in the offing. Please do
your share.
Wray seconds separate graduation
1 February 1974
Dear Sir:
I was pleased to see the Jackson-Blomquist article in the
last issue (Vol. 49, No. 14) of the Clarion, "The Necessity
of Separate Graduation." During my four years here at Bethel
I have searched in vain for a logical, legitimate reason for the
College and the Seminary to graduate together.
As you pointed out in your article, there are two reasons
usually cited for the one commencement policy: 1) that future
ministers are given the opportunity to view their future congregations,
and 2) that joint commencement promotes unity
and aids in public relations. The first argument hardly deserves
a response - why not have all Seminary seniors go to a North
Stars hockey game and observe the people there? Maybe some
of the spectators will be in their future congregations.
Besides the many good reasons you cited in your article,
there is another consideration regarding the second argument.
The second argument presupposes that unity between the two
institutions is desirable, something I do not believe is true.
How can two schools with expressly different purposes and
whose students have little or no contact (except for a couple
of hours on a June afternoon) even presume to talk about
unity? It is both hypocritical and undesirable.
In my investigation of this matter I have found no one
among the students and faculty of either school who is in
favor of joint commencement exercises except, I understand,
President Lundquist. It is obvious that the wishes of one man
(possibly a few more) should not be favored over the wishes of
1200 other people. However, that is exactly what will happen

My Opinion
And now a crisis
in education
Editor's Note: Craig Brenneise is a sophomore and is majoring
in history.
by Craig Brenneise
Lately, the word "crisis" has been attached to everything
from energy to toilet paper. These types of crises can be easily
seen by the "average guy on the street." One crisis not so
easily seen is the one I would call "the higher education crisis,"
for this can happen without most people being aware that it
is happening.
The crisis involving higher education is spelled m-o-n-e-y,
and the lack of it threatens the very structure of our higher
educational system as well as the future of millions of young
Americans. All across the United States, increasing numbers of
schools are sending out desperate cries for help; and unless
help is forthcoming, many schools may not even last out the
school year.
The sector in imminent danger of collapse is our private
one - the 1,500 independent colleges and universities currently
educating one out of every four of the young men and women
on our campuses. The malaise of fiscal deterioration infecting
these institutions may weaken them to the point of no return.
As this financial malady has progressed from a remote
danger to a real and fast-spreading illness, more and more independent
colleges and universities have slid toward various
types of oblivion - some closing down, some merging, some
being absorbed into public systems, some only half-alive and
serving so small a percentage of the popUlation so poorly that
it may be merciful to put them out of their misery. Ineligible
for massive federal funds and unendowed with money of their
own, they have always relied on philanthropy and tuition for
their existence; but with these sources of income disappearing
today, many of them may soon also weaken beyond help.
Such dire talk may be a little hard to swallow for the
casual observer or alumnus who sees a plush campus with
glittering new buildings and hears stories of huge research
grants and professors who teach only one course. U. S. colleges
and universities did indeed have a decade of more unprecedented
growth and prosperity from about the mid-1950's to
the late 1960 'so
Now, however, the picture has changed. Campuses have
lost much of their appeal in the wake of the discontinuance
of U. S. involvement in Vietnam, the ending of the draft, public
resentment over student unrest and student behavior, and a
growing disenchantment with the operation and management
of higher education.
To halt the higher education crisis, federal and state legislators,
political leaders, media opinion-makers and professional,
business and labor leaders must join with educators and students
to convince the American public that we would be forfeiting
one of the nation's greatest assets - the pluralistic system
of higher education with its balance of public and independent
institutions. For it to be saved, Americans must recognize
and acknowledge the desirability and the need for doing
Then, general guidelines must be agreed to for the adequate
support of public deficit-ridden schools. Next we must
strive to win legal, moral and public acceptance of these guidelines.
Such an effort seems plausible only when based upon
several assumptions: 1) the U. S. should maintain an excellent
system of high education, affording rich opportunities for the
personal development of its young people and giving high
national priority to the advancement of learning; 2) the system
should be diversified to meet the needs of students of various
backgrounds, to provide both public and private institutions,
and to sources of support so that no interest group dominates
higher education; 3) higher education should be available to
all regardless of finance, race, religion, place of residence or
academic background; 4) students should have free choice of
educational programs and institutions within limits of their
If we accept these assumptions, the questions to be
answered include: 1) what should be the priorities and the
methods of funding higher education, especially the private
sector? 2) how should this funding be borne by the student,
his family, by other private sources, by the state and federal
governments? 3) how can these priorities and their appropriate
funding be implemented before it is too late?
To begin with, the academic community must put its own
house in order by balancing its budget, improving its management
and planning, making more effective use of resources,
conceiving new and stimUlating approaches and programs, and
defining its aims and sticking to them alone. Next, the state
governments must provide or expand basic programs that will
achieve a strong public/private balance for higher education
and a uniform level of assistance among all states. Finally, the
federal government must provide or enlarge basic programs
that will render immediate aid to faltering institutions, expand
higher education opportunities, and create an incentive to do a
better job for states lagging in meeting their responsibilities.
Without such efforts we face the erosion and eventual loss
of our pluralistic system - a national asset that would be sorely
missed and strangely absent from our democracy. Meeting the
challenge will take a positive effort by the colleges and universities
- and by all the rest of us who are served.
Letters continued from page five
unless the Senate passes a resolution in favor of separate commencement
exercises and then vigorously follows it up.
Let us hope that this artificial tradition will be perpetuated
no longer.

Dr. Johnson applauds Fiddler
To the editor of the Clarion:
This is an enthusiastic endorsement of the production
Fiddler on the Roof. All who were involved are to be congratulated
for helping our campus achieve a genuine liberal arts
atmosphere. Hopefully, we turned a corner in Bethel's history,
in that we now realize that true artists do not praise or condemn
the situation being enacted, but rather seek to portray it
realistically as the author or composer desired when they were
inspired with the idea.
We could not continue to insist that we live in a liberated,
intellectual environment, and yet refuse to portray life as it is,
rather than the way we would like it to be. Hence, the acceptance
of a Broadway musical appears to me to be a sign of a
maturation process for our campus that is healthy in every
In addition, the production breathed high quality in every
aspect of the staging and music. In sum, I left on Friday evening
with the good feeling of being proud to be associated with
Bethel College. Let's have another one next year!

Gene Johnson
quick return
by Curtis Kregness
After only two weeks recovery in the
hospital from open-heart surgery, Eugene
Johnson, professor of art, was back home
anxiously awaiting the time when he
could return to Bethel College.
Johnson, known casually by many students
and faculty as "Gene," entered
Miller Hospital January 5, underwent
surgery two days later, and as he swiftly
recuperated, was released January 19. He
was the "founder" of Bethel's Art Department
in 1948 and last year celebrated
his 25th anniversary with the college. He
also remained chairman of the department
until 1972.
Johnson said that he expects to resume
teaching "early second semester."
Anticipating his return to Bethel, Johnson
paid a short visit to his office and the Art
Gallery the evening of January 29. The
next day, George Robinson, assistant
professor of art, remarked that Gene had
been "looking and feeling much better."
Robinson relayed a request from
Johnson for continued prayers regarding
his speedy and complete recovery.
Bethel plans
student housing
Each of these structures would be a three
story brick building with a housing capacity
of about 150 students each. The first
floor of each would contain a laundry
facility and a recreation room as well as
living quarters. The ~7cond and third
floors of each would have a lounge area,
similar to the one in New Dorm.
well as a feeling of belonging to "the community,"
something which many feel is
missing this year.
Long-range plans for housing include
the possible conversion of some townhouse
units into apartments, somewhat
like the present house-parents' quarters.
According to Dr. Nettleton, Bethel's
main housing objective is to allow all
Bethel students, if they so desire, to live
on "New-Campus" once the sale of "Old
Campus" is complete. It is felt that with
the three distinct kinds of housing being
offered, dorm life, townhouse living,
and apartment residence, that more students
would chose to live on campus than
in past years.
by Raymond Stockwell
In the future the landscape here at
Bethel should go through a dramatic
change. During an interview with Dr.
Mack Nettleton, director of student affairs,
this reporter was given some insight
concerning several different housing plans
now being considered by Bethel.
Other plans being considered include a
single dormitory structure housing approximately
300 students and a plan for
a complex of six buildings housing about
50 students each.
Among the plans now being considered
is a plan calling for at least two dormitory
structures to be built on the hillside
directly south of the academic complex.
Whatever plan is decided upon will
probably be used for Freshmen housing.
This would allow the townhouse units
now being used for freshmen to be
occupied by upperclassmen, and would
achieve the Bethel housing aim of having
all freshmen housed in dormitories to
provide an atmosphere of class unity as
It should be noted that all of the
above housing plans are still tentative,
and will be more likely to be implemented
if the Old-Campus is sold.

KABY transm·ission article in error
To the Clarion editor:
At your request I am submitting the following information
relative to the January 25th article on KABY's transmission
limitations. Since the deadline for copy is already past, this
will not be as informative as it might otherwise be.
The primary cause of concern with the article on the part
of several is the inaccuracy regarding Audio-Engineers' role in
the decision to use multiple transmitters.
Mr. Atlas did not "engineer" the decision to use multiple
transmitters. In fact he wrote the original specifications which
needed to be changed because of changes in plans for the
tunnel access between buildings, and the College's desire not to
use overhead wires. When I came on the scene in September,
Mr. Atlas was endeavoring to get a decision from Bethel on
which transmission plans were desired. He had sent memos in
August to Low Power Broadcasting and CCA Electronics asking
for suggestions and had met with Jim Sheldon of Bethel to
review the options suggested. A letter from Phil Carlson in
England on September 24th indicated that the building committee
had made a decision in the spring.
Jim Sheldon, Hugh Macleod Sr., and I reviewed the information
from the consulting companies and from Phil Carlson,
and confirmed the Building Committee's decision. This was
forwarded to Dick Atlas of Audio Engineers on October 11,
The plans were to install the two additional transformers
as soon as the money was available. We had hoped it might be
available through the BASIC fund drive sponsored last fall, and
we are still exploring possibilities.
Obviously this note has not gone into all the reasons for
the decision that was made, it's main point is to indicate that
the present set-up was not merely some whim of Dick Atlas',
but was decided upon by the people considering factors within
the situation.

Steve expressed to me his thoughts concerning whether or
not pro-ball is a possibility for him. "I've played against good
pros - guys like Lou Hudson and Nate Archibald in various
out-of-state tournaments, and I've been able to hold my own
against them being as little as I am. Then, after the game, I'd
ask them for tips and they'd give them to me. It is in my
dreams to play pro ball because I feel that would help the
people in my ~ommunity even more than my college degree.
Many of my friends are either dope pushers or pimps. and I
would like to show them, especially the little kids, that there
is a better, more honest way to make money. I still want to
be their friend and they've got to still be mine so that I can
relate to them and let them know that I feel what they are
doing is wrong. Becoming a pro would help me in my struggle
to show my people that there is a better road."
Thanks for your testimony, Steve, and God bless you in
whatever your future holds.

year's tuition, there was some talk of raising the cost per class
to $228, a raise of $16, but the board settled for an eight
dollar raise to $220 per class. The former raise will undoubtedly
be enacted in the coming years, but the regents feel Bethel's
quality of education can be maintained at the present rates.
Another savings in the Bethel plan, as compared to the
other schools in the chart, is Bethel's policy of charging by the
class. To graduate at Bethel a student needs 34 classes, or 8% a
year. This brings the price of a Bethel education down to
$1,870 a year at next year's rates.
As prices continue to spiral at other schools, the Bethel
administration prides itself on limiting rises to the lowest possible
level, while maintaining quality education.

recover, even
record at 7-7
by Tim Uenhardus
The grappler's have tackled the hardest
part of their season and currently have
a 7 -7 dual record. After losing three
straight matches down at Orange City,
Iowa, to Black Hills State, West mar and
Northwestern, the Royals stormed back
to thrash Carleton and St. Olaf. The
Royals were very sluggish in a disappointing
25-21 loss to Northwestern. In the
other two matches the Royals were out of
their class as Westmar and Black Hills
State reinforced their reputations as Midwest
powerhouses. Fred Witzgall fared the
best coming out with 3 wins which makes
his current record 15-1.
The Royal wrestlers put together back
to back victories against St. Olaf (30-20)
and Carlton (36-12) as they had a great
afternoon in Northfield. The allies and
Carls lost both matches to Bethel's Fred
Witzgall (167), Dave Hanks (177), Jeff
Zitzloff (190), and Jerry Flasch (HWT).
Fred Witzgall took a first, Dave Hanks
a second, Jerry Flasch a third, Bill Lott
and Captain Dave Peterson fourths in the
Pillsbury Tournament. Bethel was forced
to forfeit three weights due to illness but
salvaged a respectable fifth place. The
tournament featured some of the best
wrestlers of the midwest. Southwest Minnesota
pulled out the team trophy in the
last match of the day from Iowa Central
Community College.
The team totals were as follows:
S.W. Minnesota 104%
Iowa Central 98%
Waldorf 74
St. Mary's 55
Bethel 48
Pillsbury 45
N.W. Roseville 11

Women cagers
split a pair
by Dave Greener
The Bethel womens' basketball team
launched its '74 season last month with a
win over Augsburg and a loss to the University
of Wisconsin, River Falls.
Coach Carol Morgan's cagers traveled
to Augsburg January 24, returning as
33-23 victors over the Minneapolis school.
Senior guard Chris Kimball paced an
evenly matched offence with nine points.
Senior guard Kathy Head and sophomore
center Terry Schimbeno contributed seven
points apiece.
River Falls outdistanced Bethel, 50-38,
in another road game January 28. Though
Bethel led 22-19 at half-time, River Falls'
rebounding and shooting spelled the "A"
team's first regular season loss since 1972.
Senior forward Lynn Dreesen led
Bethel's scoring in the contest with nine
points, while Schimbeno and junior forward
Marilyn Luce tossed in eight points
The women basketballers were slated
for their first home game last evening,
hosting Hamline. They tangle again Monday
evening, against visiting St. Olaf.
Game time is approximately 7 :45 in the
Bethel gym, following a "B" squad contest
at 6:30.
Thursday the women cagers challenge
Concordia (St. Paul). Game time is 8:30,

Steve Scroggins is a senior at Bethel, married, sociology
major, and a tremendous athlete. This article is dedicated to
him, at a time when he has reached several milestones as a
basketball player.
Steve graduated from Mechanic Arts High School in the
inner city of St. Paul. He commented that, "our teams in high
school were good enough to go to state but we had moody ball
players - sometimes our players would get mad at the coach
and would refuse to play. This gave us problems but for myself,
I went out to play basketball everyday the best way I knew
how. I was fortunate enough to come in second in city scoring
in my junior year, and first my senior year with a 27.8 average."
Along with these honors, Steve was a member of the all-city
and all-metro teams, and in his words, "It seemed like I was
player of the week every other week," for WCCO or the St.
Paul papers. Steve had a chance for All-American but got beat
out by Tony Jenkins, a 6'8" center, who is now playing at
Harvard and headed for the pros. Steve gave Tony a lot of
Obviously, Steve was hot material, sought after by many
teams. What made him decide to choose Bethel?
"First of all," Steve remarked, "I didn't feel I was ready
for college because I wasn't sure if I could make it or if it had
anything to offer me. I simply turned down coaches who made
offers to me. But one day Steve Jervis mentioned that Jack
Trager from Bethel was coming down to the Ober Club gym to
see me. Instead of offering me a lot of things because I was an
athlete, Coach Trager offered me an education. He was interested
in me as a person, not as a guy who could score points
for him and I give Trager and Steve Jervis credit for attracting
me to Bethel."
Steve's basketball talents have considerably progressed in
college. "I had talent in high school but I just didn't know how
to use it as well as I do now. In the summer I go to different
states to play ball and each place has its own brand of ball.
With all the techniques I've been exposed to, I've learned to
apply them to my own game. What you know, no one can take
from you, but I also know that there is a limit to my ability.
This helps me stay calm and collected before and during a
game. I'm just out there, not to work a miracle, but to give a
200% effort. That's all I can do and there's no need to be
nervous. Once I get going, I can't even hear the fans. I'm just
out there doing my job." I've always respected Steve for not
losing his temper or allowing an opponent get the best of him.
Concerning how Steve felt after he had broken the school
scoring record and then the state scoring record for small
colleges he replied, "I wasn't aware that I was that close to
breaking those records at the time. It was a pleasant surprise,
but I must give the credit to God for giving me the gift of
being able to play basketball.
"My family is not sports-minded at all - I am the first one
tt> participate in sports. So I feel that the Lord has done something
for me, and I think he keeps pushing me to learn new
things. Every day I find myself doing something different
with the basketball - every time I see one I have to do something
with it."
This is particularly significant in light of the fact that
Steve didn't start playing ball until he was in ninth grade. In
Steve's words, "all the credit has to go to the Man upstairs,"
considering what he can now do with the ball.

The long arm of Wayne Hallquist reaches for two more.
Royals roar to 6-1
conference record
by Curtis Kregness
The Royals handed both Sioux Falls and Yankton two losses
in two weeks, bringing Bethel's conference basketball record to
six wins and one loss in a second-place berth behind Northwestern
of Iowa.
Wayne Hallquist, Bethel's 6'-11" center, emerged in last
week's games as a new asset for the Royals, scoring 10 points
in an 83 to 77 victory over Yankton, and eight points against
Sioux Falls. Steve Scroggins and Mark Robertson dominated
the latter game for Bethel, as they scored 26 and 20 points,
leading to a 79 to 73 win.
During halftime, Scroggins was presented with the first
annual SUBA (Summit-University Basketball Association) Man
of the Year award. SUB A sponsors 16 basketball teams for
inner city youths in the Summit-University area, ranging from
third grade through high school. Scroggins coaches one of
those teams and frequently counsels the young people involved,
helping them with their everyday problems. SUBA, in naming
Scroggins its first Man of the Year, established an award honoring
outstanding dedication and service in inner city youth work.
Bethel's quality of play was greatly reduced in its second
contest against Yankton Saturday. A week earlier, the Royals
had crushed the Greyhounds 76 to 47, but the margin was cut
to just six points in Saturday's final score of 83 to 77. Both
games with Sioux Falls, however, were closely fought, in each
contest, the Royals recovered from a deficit halftime score to
eke out four (58 to 54) and six-point victories.
Bethel faces the Concordia Comets tomorrow night at
7: 30 in its last home basketball game of the season.
Editor's Note: The Royals lost Tuesday night to Northland
in one overtine, 79-76.

New Orleanian and Boston Red Sox left-hander Mel Parnell, 89, died Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. A member of the Red Sox Hall of Fame, Parnell is best known for his 1956 no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park, the first since 1923.
"(Cleveland Indian Hall of Fame pitcher) Bob Feller once told me that Mel should be in Cooperstown for winning 100 games while playing (home games) at Fenway Park," former Times-Picayune reporter and longtime friend Peter Barrouquere said. "He thought that if he played in any other park he would have been in the Hall of Fame."
Parnell, born June 13, 1922 in New Orleans, graduated from S.J. Peters High School where he starred with future major leaguers George Strickland, Howie Pollett, Raymond Campo, Ray Yochim and Lou Klein.
Although many of his boyhood friends and high school teammates signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, Parnell chose to sign as an amateur free agent with Boston, where he pitched his entire 10-year major league career.
"The Cardnials were big here in New Orleans because they were affiliated with the (New Orleans) Pelicans from 1940-42," said Lenny Yochim, a left-handed pitcher with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1951-54) and one of Parnell's close friends. "Herb Pennock (Boston farm system director) came along and got Mel to sign with the Red Sox instead."
From 1943 to 1945, during World War II, Parnell served in the Air Force as a flight surgeon. He flew on B-29s while stationed at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, but never saw oversees combat.
At the conclusion of the war, Parnell returned to professional baseball where he played one full season of minor league ball in 1946 with Class-A Scranton. After appearing in four games in 1947, Parnell made his big league debut on April 20 at Washington, a 4-1 loss in front of 28,433 people.
During a one-game playoff in Cleveland to decide the 1948 pennant, Boston manager Joe McCarthy passed over Parnell, on a hunch, in favor of journeyman reliever Denny Galehouse, who wasn't prepared to pitch.
"That was the biggest disappointment of (Parnell's) career," said Barrouquere of the game Parnell expected to start. "In fact, Cleveland thought it was a hoax when they saw Galehouse warming up on the field. They thought that Mel was warming up under the stands, and they thought McCarthy was trying to pull a fast one."
Boston fell 8-3, with Galehouse allowing two homers.
Parnell's best season in the big leagues came in 1949 when he went 25-7, leading the league in wins, ERA (2.77), complete games (27) and innings (295.1). That season, he finished fourth to teammate Ted Williams in the AL MVP voting, and was selected to start in his first All-Star Game.
Parnell had consecutive 18-win seasons in 1950 and 1951, a season where he made his second all-star appearance.
He rebounded from a 12-12 record in 1952, by starting the following year with a 12-5 record before the all-star break. New York Yankees manager Casey Stengel left Parnell off of the All-Star roster. He followed the all-star-snub by going 5-0 with four shutouts against the Yankees in the second half to finish the season 21-8 with a 3.06 ERA and a career-high 136 strikeouts.
"He was known as the 'Yankee killer,'" said Mel Parnell Jr., about his father's domination of the Yankees. "(The snub) was a big controversy in Boston. Everyone knew that (Stengel) did it deliberately because he played for the Red Sox."
From 1952 to 1954, Parnell made three straight opening-day starts for the Red Sox, and is still the only left-handed pitcher to do so.
"He was an outstanding control pitcher," Yochim said. "He didn't have overpowering speed, but he had a lot of movement. He had good location and could change speeds with great control. He kept the ball down. You have to keep the ball down in Boston because of the short porch."
Parnell retired because of elbow issues following the 1956 season, finishing his career with 123 wins, 74 losses and a 3.50 ERA. Parnell was Boston's workhorse, finishing with 113 complete games and 20 shutouts.
After his playing days, Parnell managed in the minor leagues from 1959-63, including the Pelicans in 1959 before moving into into broadcasting with the Red Sox. He retired to New Orleans.
"He was liked by everyone," Barrouquere said. "He loved to talk baseball and spend time with his friends...He will be missed."
Parnell is survived by his wife, Velma and his four children: Mel Parnell, Jr., Barbara Parnell, Sheryl Boraski and Patti Parnell.

The first years of the poker boom were fueled by the interest in no-limit hold em tournaments. Recently, however, players have been gravitating to another, even more complex form of hold em no-limit cash games. In Harrington on Cash Games: Volume I, Dan Harrington teaches you the key concepts that drive deep-stack cash game play. You ll learn how to tailor your selection of starting hands to your stack size, how to recognize the increasing deception value of supposedly weaker hands as the stack sizes increase, and how to use the concept of pot commitment to your advantage as the size of the pot grows. After laying out the general concepts behind deep-stack cash game play, Harrington shows you a complete strategy for post-flop play, and then teaches you the difference between post-flop play against a single opponent and post-flop play against multiple opponents. If you play no-limit hold em cash games, you need to read this book. Harrington on Cash Games: Volume II continues where Volume I left off. In sections on turn and river play, Harrington explains why these are the most important streets in no-limit hold em, and shows how to decide when to bet or check, when to call or fold, and when to commit all your chips. In later sections, Harrington shows how to play a looser and more aggressive style, how to make the transition from online to live games, and how to extract the maximum profit from very low-stakes games. Volume II concludes with an interview with Bobby Hoff, considered by many the best no-limit cash game player of all times, who shares some of his secrets and insights. Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and the World Champion title at the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold em Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And he was the only player to make the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2,576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history. In Harrington on Cash Games, Harrington and two-time World Backgammon Champion Bill Robertie have written the definitive books on no-limit cash games. These books will teach you what you need to know to be a winner in the cash game world.

|Re-Reading the Series With the Ending in Mind
|by CRC » Fri Mar 17, 2017 8:59 am

Business trips are great in one sense. I get to read on the plane and with a Kindle, I get to re-read complete series.
So I've been re-reading Safehold from beginning to end. I'm now in the end pages of How Firm A Foundation.
But the real interesting read has been a couple of things, in light of the ending:
1 - The significance of the piece of paper Wylsynn gave to Duchairn. Looking back, it seems to have galvanized Duchairn and set him on the path he took - although we didn't know it at the time.
2 - The decline of Zahmsyn Trynair over the course of the books in both ability and influence. He started out clearly in charge, but Clyntahn basically scared the hell out of him after the purge, but he just sort of faded away.
3 - The rise of Allayn Maigwair from feckless to pretty substantial after the ground forces became involved.
And then after Safehold, I think I'll start with On Basilisk Station and go from there!

Multiple SNIPS
I don't know if it was what gave Duchairn, but it certainly gave him a WAY to actually do something. And, in a sense (I guess) it gave him his only real hope of personal survival!
To my reckoning, Trynair's collapse was rather precipitous - it seemed like one day he was this strong leader of the Church's "foreign policy" and the next day he fell off a cliff into a big bowl of milquetoast...
I agree... By his own admission, he never really considered himself to be the "sharpest piece of chalk in the box," but (amongst others) Duchairn ultimately concluded that he had a very well developed sense of pragmatism and common sense. Seemed to me that there were a lot of little triggers that forced his nature to the forefront. I definitely don't think it was the kind of self-preservation as Duchairn (until his rebirth) though. I think he finally just got tired of Clyntahn's bloviating.
I like your analysis, though CRC. And yes, I also spend a lot of my time reading, reading, jumping back and forth to check specific points, etc. And, like you, I see significant character changes all around - not at all just in the Temple!

Trynair's collapse was IMO fore-told by all the meetings of the "Gang of Four" where he didn't attend.
Duchairn, Clyntahn, and Maigwair had all those meetings where they argued about the course of the war and made delusions without Trynair's input.
Trynair no longer had a necessary role in the war and apparently was too afraid of Clyntahn to try to assert a role.

Oh, I dunno, zyffyr... While the grammatical usage may be incorrect, and while one could readily substitute "decisions" in place of "delusions," I submit that Trynair was clearly delusional... For so long he was the "right hand" of the Grand Vicar. We have textev over and over again that the Grand Vicar was incapable of making any decisions more complex than choosing which socks he would wear on any given day (metaphorically speaking). The Grand Vicar was "fed" his talking points and speeches by Trynair on a regular basis.
So IMHO Trynair viewed himself as the real holder of the levers of power in the Temple. Must have come as a shock to him to realize that Clyntahn - as the keeper of the Inquisition and the "physical power" was the real power holder. So Trynair's delusion was in continuing to believe - in the face of what evolved into overwhelming evidence - that he was actually not the most powerful of the Go4 but rather the least powerful.
Duchairn had the power of the purse.
Magwair had the power of the army.
Clyntahn had the power of the Inquisition.
Trynair? He had only the soft power of influence - which could (and was) overwhelmed early and often by the Inquisition's interactions with the Church's intendants in each secular realm.

Some had wondered if Trynair could have used his "influence" over the Grand Vicar to "fight" Clyntahn.
But I always believed that the Grand Vicar would have folded before the threat of Clyntahn's anger.
The Grand Vicar might not have been very smart but likely was smart enough to know that Clyntahn wouldn't bow to him.
Oh, "delusions" was a typo on my part.

I feel like one of the biggest character changes is in Cayleb. We start the series with him chasing after a slash lizard of all things. He in turn shows a young, calculating, and sometime brash attitude when it comes to negotiations and formalities (his terms with Thirsk in OAR ).
However, he had to take on the duties of the kingdom after the unfortunate events off Darcos Sound and determine the best course of action with regard to the COGA and its puppets. He took bold and hazardous risks that could even make Merlin gasp at times, but then came more life changing events **SPOILER, I guess**, he became a husband, an emperor, and a father. The last two basically made sure that he would not be putting himself in harms way and was resigned to send and rely on people in his place.
It would have been easy and in some minds, justifiable, to slaughter every COGA combatant; to give as they got, but he was raised on a different set of values and beliefs, and he listened to, and agreed with, his counsel.
All in all, I see a young man trying to prove himself thrust into the political and military realm a few years too soon, in an unfathomable predicament (total annihilation may need a stronger word than predicament), and also carrying the weight that the truths that 99.9% of the world believes was a total lie.

Yeah, Drak.
But I'm a business traveler stuck in the Middle East for another week and I have to get my humor whenever and wherever I can! Delusions... Decisions... meh...
