Skeletons in Mounds Near Town
Students Gathering Collection of Articles Left in Valley by Indians
Prehistoric Race Left Specimens of Their Handiwork Around Neighboring City
Dunbar high school has an amateur bureau of archaeology and almost every day the boys and girls unearth hammers, drills, paint pots or arrowheads, relics of the stone age culture of the early inhabitants of the Kanawha Valley.
When the more or less mysterious builders of the mounds at Dunbar and South Charleston were driven out of the valley by the warring tribes of Indians of Ohio they left behind them besides cleared fields and many earth heaps, samples of their handiwork which are now being collected from the fields and vicinity of the mounds by the school children.
According to Clifford R. Myers, state historian and archivist, this is the only high school in the state whose pupils are making a collection of Indian relics, although flint and stone objects are found in many parts of the state. Parkersburg high school has a collection but it was purchased outright, it is understood. While making a talk on prehistoric man in the Kanawha valley at Dunbar school, Mr. Myers complimented the school on its efforts to collect from its surrounding district the stone age objects left by the red men.
The white ball pictured in the accompanying photograph, is the first of the sort that has ever been found in West Virginia, Mr. Myers told the school assembly, and is considered very rare. He said it is supposed the ball was used by the Indians in a game of chance. A sort of prehistoric "craps" game with wampum, tobacco or a freshly dressed pup at stake, one may suppose.
Directly in front of the Indian golf ball is a hard marble like stone, a small paint cup. The Indian men carried that, of course, and it is the earlier forerunner of the paint patties in the Kanawha valley, the great difference being that the male in that day carried the make-up stuff. The red man's squaw had not at that time had the thrill of expressing her artistic impulses upon her own person, but the men more than made up for that, according to popular notions.
Interest in collecting the Indian relics was aroused in the school by accident. Last fall the general science classes of Clarke M. Furbee started an aquarium and one of the boys dropped an arrowhead into the bottom of the laboratory "pond," and remarked that he could find lots of flints in the bottoms around the school. Mr. Furbee suggested that the pupils bring in all they could find and in a short time arrowheads, celts, spearheads and drills began to come in. Mounted in specimen cases, they are forming a permanent collection for the school.
A rare piece is a pipe in the first stages of making. The bowl part is drilled out for a quarter of an inch, and the sides have been cut away. The form, according to the state archivist, is of the kind the Indians obtained in Minnesota.
The white ball was donated by Charles Noffsinger and Russell Raines. It is extremely hard and when first found the boys, not realizing its value, threw it against a cement walk, but were unable to break it.
The long spear point shown in the photograph was contributed by Forest Given. Ethel Samson brought in the hand mallet, which is one of the most primitive of stone implements, being merely a stone about the size of a man's fist. No handle was used.
Other stone hammers are highly polished and have grooves used in fastening on handles.
The arrow and quiver in the lower right picture was brought to the school by Georgia Anderson. They are Indian articles handed down in her family for many years.
In the early eighties the United States bureau of ethnology explored the mounds at Dunbar and South Charleston, and the report of the scientists was published in the fifth annual publication of the bureau.
The mound indicated by the cross in the diagram accompanying this article was 312 feet in circumference and 25 feet high. A second growth of timber was then on the mound, the decaying stumps of the first growth being still present. Sinking a shaft in the mound, a large vault was soon disclosed which contained numerous human bones and two entire skeletons. Four feet below this deposit and just below the original level of the ground were found six circular oven shaped pits three feet in diameter and three in depth. Those unearthed were in a semi-circle and it was assumed that the pits extended all the way around the mound. The pits contained a dark substance taken for the remains of Indian corn in the ear.
The mound indicated at the extreme left of the same row was called the altar mound, and was taken to be a connecting link between the mounds of this region and those Ohio. It was 318 feet in circumference. At the depth of two feet the shaft disclosed a foot layer of clay and ashes, in which two entire skeletons lay horizontally, one immediately above the other. The upper and larger one lay with the face down, and the lower with the face up, indicating a double burial.
There was no indication of fire as is the case sometimes. Over the heads were found a celt and three lance heads.
At a depth of 13 feet and just north of the center was found two very large skeletons in sitting posture, with the extended legs interlocked to the knees. Their arms were extended and the hands were elevated as if holding up the stone mortar. It had been subjected to the action of fire, and the cavity contained white ashes in which were found fragments of charred bones. Over the mortar and covering it was a slab of limestone three feet thick, on the under side of which were small cup shaped excavations. Near the hands of the skeleton of the eastern side of the stone were a celt and lance head.
On the level of the ground was found that which in the Ohio mounds is called an altar, although the stone was not completely exposed, it was believed to be 12 feet long and 8 wide. Mingled on the stone were water worn boulders, clay, ashes and charred human bones.
The material exposed by the shaft after the first layer of three feet was almost wholly of finely packed ashes, which had been deposited layer by layer.
Perhaps the most interesting of all was the headless skeleton of a giant found in one of the mounds, the remains of a prehistoric resident of a suburb of Charleston, and perhaps the big chief whose "golf ball" the Dunbar school children have found.
The usual plan of sinking a shaft was followed. Earth and irregular sandstones, some of which made a load for two men, covered a vault seven by four feet in dimensions. In the vault was found a large and much decayed skeleton, wanting the head, which could not be found. A rough spear head was found with the skeleton. The Indian was seven and a half feet tall, and the skeleton measured 19 inches between the shoulder sockets. It was enclosed in a bark coffin, and was placed on the back with the head towards the east. Six heavy copper bracelets were on each forearm.
The mound was double, one having been built over the other. In the lower section was found another and larger vault which was originally built of heavy walnut timbers. In this, five skeletons were found. One was prostrate on the floor, 19 feet from the top. The others had been placed in each of the four corners in a standing position, judging from the positions. The first was in an almost erect position, leaning against the rotten logs, and remains of the bark shrouds still clinging to the bones. The bones were much decayed except in the left forearm, which was preserved by two heavy copper bracelets.
The head of the skeleton in the center had been encased in mortar with a spear point of black flint, and the whole had been wrapped with a textile fabric, it was believed. On the breast was a copper gorget, a piece of armor for the throat. In each hand were three spear heads of black flint and others were scattered about the head, knees and feet. Near the right hand were two hematite celts and on the shoulders were three large and thick plates of mica. Around the shoulders, waist and thighs were numerous perforated shells and shell beads.
While filling in the excavations a pipe was found in the dirt, carved of gray steatite and highly polished. The pipe was of the form made by the Cherokee Indians.
The agent of the bureau of ethnology said of the mounds here:
"I am disposed to connect the mound builders of the Kanawha valley with those of western North Carolina. It cannot be claimed that all or even the larger portion of them were built by Indians inhabiting the district when first visited by the whites.
"There was during the mound building age a powerful tribe or association of tribes occupying the Ohio valley, whose chief seats were in the Kanawha, Scioto and Little Miami valleys. The works are relatively contemporaneous in these valleys."
It is generally believed now that the mound builders were of the Indian race, although it was formerly believed they were a separate branch of the human tree, and that the Indians exterminated them. The Indians, as we know them, built mounds after the white men reached America, it is definitely known.
When the whites first came to the Kanawha valley the territory here was not the home of any tribe. When Virginia was first settled the lands around Charleston were occupied by a comparatively peaceable tribe which tilled many of the fields which were found cleared and ready for plowing when the pioneers arrived. Then ensued a war among the Indians, annihilating the local tribes, and giving this section to the warring tribes of Ohio for a hunting ground.
That brings one to the question of the origin of the Indians. The coming of the red man was shown in a recent Zane Grey moving picture which follows H. G. Wells' story in his "Outline."
The Indian is an offshoot of an Asiatic people, it is now agreed. His ancestors came to America from northern Asia and followed the coast southward. Many migrations may have stocked the country. Their minds were developed, from different angles, the "spooky" culture of Central and South America, with their human sacrifices, where it was considered an honor to have one's heart cut out while still alive, in order to help along crops and "good times," running to one extreme, and the simple farmer mound builders the other.
Yet it is popularly supposed by non-scientific folk in this state that the mound building tribes practiced the custom of burying the mate of a dead man or woman. This belief arose from the fact that two skeletons are found in the same burial mound at times. It does not seem to have the approval of the authorities on American ethnology, however.

Egypt – Turn Off The Money
The following column is an opinion piece and the opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the staff and management of the Informer Media Group.
By Glenn Mollette
The United States and our President must come together today and stop all money flowing from our hard earned tax dollars to Egypt. Yes, I am talking about your money and your children's money and your grandparent's hard earned tax dollars flowing into Egypt at the rate of 1.5 billion dollars each year. Since 1948, we have given over 71 billion dollars to Egypt. That is more money than we have given to any nation, except Israel.
Where does this money go? Approximately 1.2 billion goes to support an Egyptian military while the rest goes to sanitation and other humanitarian efforts.
In the United States we have been cutting back on our own military budget. Our government talks of cutting military medical benefits and military retirement benefits while many homeless veterans are sleeping in the streets of America. As our soldiers are expected to defend us in other countries they are doing it with aging weapons and aging supplies all because of a tightening military budget.
More and more excuses are being found to downsize our soldiers from the military because of a tightening military budget.
Our President wants our military to be lean. Does this mean lean so that we can send billions to Egypt? "Lean".. so that we can send more billions to Iraq, Afghanistan and other nations that hate us? Why should we continue to reward a nation for fighting and being totally dysfunctional? If we had money to hand out then it should be as a reward for bringing about peace and helping other nations to be at peace.
At the forefront of this problem is our empty national checking account. We do not have the money to throw out to other nations so they will try to love us and be good girls and boys. They hate us all the more. In the meantime our interstates are falling apart, our bridges are crumbling, our national parks are showing neglect, American people are hungry, jobless, homeless and our border security in the south continues to be weak. Thousands of our own military service people cannot afford to fly home to visit family. They cannot afford to buy cars and have to make do with small uniform allowances each year. Average America stands in line to fill out job applications at Walmart and McDonalds in hopes of landing an $8 an hour job to work 30 hours a week.
We shovel our hard earned taxpayer dollars overseas to Egypt while they kill hundreds, burn down Christian churches and shake their fists at America.
Saudi Arabia is threatening to send whatever funding we stop sending to Egypt.
Good. They can even double it if they want. If we stop buying oil from Saudi Arabia today it will not be soon enough.
Attention Congress! Please turn off the money to Egypt.

Final Student
Forum Plans
For Next Year
The Student Leadership Forum,
held on Tuesday, May 16th, was
not as well attended as had been
hoped, but it was felt that all who
attended benefitted much.
Harold Lind, newly elected Stud-ent
Council president, presented
some goals for the Copncil and or-ganizations
to aim fol- in the year
that lies ahead. He pointed out
the need of emphasizing each in-dividual
student's responsibility to
the group. Only through integra-tion
and cooperation of organiza-tions
can work progress, and a
better Bethel be realized.
Clifford E. Anderson, who will
direct the aciivitie§,, of Religious
Council, presented the theme verse
that has been chosen for the
coming year—Ephesians 2:10. Read
it carefully, and keep it in mind
throughout the coming months.
Calendars for the first six weeks
of school were distributed, and dis-cussion
groups were formed, ac-cording
to field of interest, to plan
the program for these weeks, in so
far as possible.
Finally, the Council would like
to express its appreciation to all

All School Picnic
To Be At
Taylors Falls
Picturesque Taylors Falls, with
its rocky cliffs and the swirling St.
Croix 'River, is again the chosen
site for the All School Picnic, to
be held May 25. The committee,
headed by Cliff E. Anderson, de-liberated
for some time as to the
best location for the picnic this
year, fearing that the grounds at
Taylors Falls might be partly un-der
water. Checking with the Con-servation
Department, however,
they were assured that the river
would be back in the channel by
the middle of May, and the
grounds would be in good con-dition
by the date of the picnic.
Games, sports and activities and
being planned by Al Windham,
who promises plenty of softball,
volleyball, badmiton, horseshoes,
hikes, and even boating and canoe-ing,
if desired.
Buses will leave Bethel at 10:30
a.m. under the direction of Ken-neth
Skov and the cost round trip
will be $1.50, -payable in meal

Tau Sigma Pi Grows Up
Kristen Linder got her first
letter from me the other day. And
that's the first letter anybody
ever got from me, because it's the
first one I ever wrote to anybody.
I didn't write it myself, exactly.
I have my limitations, so I dicated
it. And it's not because of failing
eyesight, it's because of my youth
that I didn't write it myself.
I've only been on campus about
nine months . . . and before that
I didn't exist as me, so you might
say I was born here. I caused a
slight stir when I was born, too.
I weighed over 4,000 pounds and
I'm pretty proud of that.
My first effortt at asserting my
personality almost ended in dis-aster.
Maybe you remember the
Homecoming Parade last fall. I
was in that, but being practically
a new-born, I didn't quite get
started when the rest of the parade
did. Weaving in and out of Snell-ing
Avenue traffic wihle you are
trying to catch a parade you lost
has its drawbacks. Better organi-zation
of time is supposed to elimi-nate
such situations, but it's a
little like aspirin . . . if you chew
on it a while, it leaves a bitter
I almost forgot to tell you that
my official representative, Harold
Lind, has allowed me to take
things into my own hands this
issue. And I want to write you a
short letter (also dictated.) Now
Ah, but what a sorry life this
would be without memories. Just
think, song writers would have
very little to write about, elderly
women and bachelors would have
nothing to sigh about and barber-shop
quartets would have nothing
to sing about. And so, as the
philosopher has so aptly put it,
"today's experiences are the mem-ories
of tomorrow."
Now, of course, this being the
it only proper and fitting that we
reminisce together through some
of the trivia and maybe some of
the serious happenings of this
year. Do you like chicken? Well,
grab a wing and stroll with me
through the annals of Bethel, 1949-
50 edition.
After the initial week of festivi-ties,
introductions, receptions and
pranks, do you remember how
everybody studied hard for a week
or so? Those were the days when
Paul Lilienberg only looked at the
girls and everybody thought he
was so shy. And Bob Mantzke was
sc thin I hardly recognized him .
I believe he was down to 2231/2
lbs. The biggest relief of that
first quarter, however, was final
exams before Thanksgiving.'
By this time everybody began
to know each other better and
last year's budding romances
bloomed out into carats. And who
can forget the sumptuous Smorgas-bord
(which Chris still can't pro-nounce)
just before Christmas
vacation? The sudden death of
John Balian was felt in every
sphere of campus activity as we
lost a Christian gentleman from
our midst, The Seniors presented
the incomparable Bev Shea in con-cert.
Of course, we can't forget
seeing all of our pastors at Found-er's
Week and the challenge we
that I've discovered such things
can be done. I'm all for them.
Dear Bethelites,
I haven't learned to walk by
myself, yet, but I can pull myself
up on my own two feet with the
aid of my new Chairman, Joe
Brygger; vice-Chairman, Thorleif
Aunevik; Secretary, Ruth Daniel-son
and Student Council Represen-tative,
Frank Doten. And I plan to
be walking by next fall. V11 be a
year old by then.
I've learned' a lot from other
campus clubs lately. For instance,
that Ron Johnson would be an
asset to any organization the way
he can sling electric lights and
stage properties around. And Dan-ny
Bloom is something more than
a top-notch football player. The
guy can paint posters, too. Jane

The Junior-Senior Oratory Con-test
for the first $25 of the $50
given by Dr. Andrew Ericson of
Marquette, Michigan for the en-couragement
of speech activities
was held the evening of May 17th.
The winners of the 1st and 2nd
prizes were as follows: 1st prize
went to Henry Nelson of Chicago,
Ill. The subject of his oration was,
"Thank You America" describing
the lack of action of Congress re-garding
the help of D.P.'s The 2nd
prize went to Thorlief Annevick
of Spind, Norway. His subject was,

Four people were entered in the
finals of this contest. The feeling
was universal among the judges
and the audience that the orators
were some of the finest that have
been heard on the campus. Mr.
Berntsen who supervised the con-test
was highly pleased with the
results. The judges were Warran
Mild of our own English Faculty
and Dr. Robert Knell of the Uni-versity
of Minnesota.
The Freshman-Sophomore Ora-tory
Contest for the 2nd $25 of 'the
same award as mentioned above
was held on the following evening,
May 18. Out of a field of six
contestants in the finals, the fol-lowing
were the two winners. 1st
prize of $15 went to Ray Lind of
West Concord, Minnesota. His sub-ject
was "The Negroe in Minne-sota."
2nd prize of $10 went to
Marion Gustaysen of Rockford,
Illinois. Her subject was "Televis-ion
and You." The judges were
Mr. M. Schultz and Mr. Robert
Otto of our own faculty.
These contests have both been
received enthusiastically by stud-ents
on the campus who have an
active interest in speech and there
is a strong feeling on the campus
among faculty and students alike
that these contests should become
annual affairs.
On the Burner
J. S. Reflections
by Muriel
This weather becomes discourag-ing
at times — that is especially
when it rains. Perhaps we should
consider it a blessing, however, be-cause
when old man sun peeps
his head out and the day looks
jus,t ,,beautiful for a walk through
the park, it's almost impossible to
get out a Psychology book or hand
ir, that last minute term paper.
The J.S. banquet was a big suc-cess,
I'm sure, in the minds of the
student body. The weather fit the
occasion beautifully. The fellows,
too, enjoyed the banquet, but their
billfolds must be plenty "flat",
after it all. Delmar Johnson was
talking with Margaret Friberg
shortly after the banquet, and was
heard saying, "Honey, since I met
you I can't eat, I can't sleep, I
can't drink." Margaret asked,
"Why not, dear?" Delmar replied
"Because I'm broke!"
This year's J.S. Banquet was un-usual
in one respect—no one re-ceived
a "sparkler." In another re-spect
it was the same as usual.
Certain fellows dated certain girls
and, who knows, they may end up
in the married couples dorm after
all. Wow, Marjorie Skog and
"Duke" make a cute pair, don't

By President Wingbiade
Henrik Isben was the Shake-speare
of Norway. In one of his
masterpieces, Pere Gyna, he por-trays
a young man who leave his
Lome with all its opportunities and
roams the wide world.
He comes back after years of
wandering and stands unrecogniz-ed
in a crowd on the very day that
his old homestead is auctioned off
to the highest bidder. Later he has
a symbolic vision. It is a picture
of his own life characterizea ny
failure and futility. He hears the
soughing of the wind and a voice
—"These are the songs you did
not sing." He sees falling dew-drops
and hears a voice—"These
are the tears you did not shed."
He hears the rustling of leaves—
"These are the thoughts you did
not think:" He sees broken strows
—"These are the deeds you did
not do."
The lost years rise up as an
indictment, and he realizes that
"of all sad words of tongue or
pen — the saddest are these, II
might have been."
As we look back on the past
school year—how do we feel? Has
it been progressive and construc-tive
intelectually and spiritually?
We trust, and we are sure that in
most cases there has been growth
and progress and victory. But it
may be that some have lost the
battle. If so, there is still hope.
God will give you another chance.
An officer came riding up to
his general with the sad news of
defeat, that the battle joined some
distance away had been lost. The
general looked at the sun still
above the horizon and exclaimed,
"There is time for another battle—
order another charge." And before
sunset defeat has turned into vic-tory.
And the basic truth by which
we live victoriously is found in
the promise and the precept: "Not
by might or power (human) but by
my Spirit saith the Lord." The
secret lies in the vital contact
and identification with Him.
This is wishing all the Bethel
family, students and faculty, a
wonderful summer in the sunshine
of His love!

5 Wins, 2 Losses, Climax Baseball Season
Control Gives Redmen
Concordia Win, 8-4
Concordia was the first to score
in the game and took a 1-0 lead
in their half of the third. Eklof
alked three and a score was
made on a bad pitch. Ted John-son
was the first up for Bethel
in their half of the third and drew
a walk to first. Greenman then
sacrificed from third to first and
placed Johnson on second. Gordy
Johnson then singled to left field,
his second hit of the game, scor-ing
Ted Johnson from second. Del-mar
Johnson then grounded out to
bring up Werts. On a "bad pitch
Gordy Johnson scored from third,
after- which Werts struck out, re-tiring
the side and giving the In-dians
a 2-1 lead as the game enter-ed
the fourth.
In the fourth a pitch hit Burc-hardt
of Concordia putting him on
first, and a single by Zobel brought
him home. The Indians did not
score and the fifth began the score
was tied two apiece.
In the fifth, 5 runs were scored
by the Indians, made by Ken
Greenman, Gordy Johnson, Delmar
Johnson, Bud Pierce, and Harold
Werts. This Bethel rally inning
was accentuated by singles hit by
Gordy Johnson, Bud Pierce, and
Eklof. Concordia failed to score
in the fifth.
Concordia started off the sixth
by matching 3 runs with 3 singles,
to score their last runs of the
game. Bethel scored a run in their
half of the sixth making the score
7-5. In the final inning, Harold
Werts smashed out a single to
right field scoring Delmar John-son
from second, giving the In-dians
their last run. For the final
try for Concordia, the record reads
three up and three down, to end
the game giving Bethel their sec-ond
victory of the season scoring
8-5, over Concordia.
Bethany Takes
Loosely Played
Contest, 9-8
On May 13, the Bethel baseball
team dropped its second straight
at the current campaign. Bethany
of Mankato were the winners over
the Redmen by the score of 9-8
in a game played at Como.
Bethel surprised the fans with
a triple play in the initial frame.
The .Bethany troop had started off
with a walk of Ken Greenman,
and an error on the part of Gordy
Johnson. On the next play, Bud
Eklof on first took in a fly ball,
stepped on first, and then threw
to Gordy Johnson at second for
three outs at a single stroke.
From this point on in, the
game took on a shabby aspect, with
both teams playing poor ball,
guilty of errors, both mechanical
and mental. Bethany took advan-tage
of the right conditions in the
second to score four runs. Bethel
came back in their half of the in-ning
to score one. In the third,
each team pushed one run over the
plate to make the count read 5-2
in Bethany's favor. Bethel scored
one more in the fourth to keep
within range, but Bethany sent
three men over the home plate in
the fifth to pull away once again.
Still keeping in the game, Bethel
scored four runs in the sixth to
keep their hopes alive of winning.
Again each team scored one run
apiece in the eighth inning, but
this ended the afternoon's scor-ing,
and so the score read 9-8
in Bethany's favor.
Delmar Johnson hit a solid triple
in the second inning to score
Eklof. Eklof drove out a double
in another inning. All told, Bethel
outhit the visitors 13-9, but were
unable to score as often.
It was a loosely played ball
game with many errors—six charg-ed
against Bethel and five for
Northwestern Falls
As Indians Avenge
Earlier Loss, 8 - 3
Northwestern Schools of Minne-apolis
downed Bethel in a good
game played on May 10 at Fort
Snelling. It was the first loss for
Bethel in three games this year,
having downed Luther and Concor-dia
earlier in the season.
Bud Eklof pitched a good game,
but received poor supuort from his
team mates as they committed a
total of six errors. Third base
proved to be a bad spot as Delmar
Johnson and Red Anderson bobbl-ed
four balls between them. Pierce
and Eklof also had the misfortune
of making misplays.
The earlier stages had all the
resemblances of a pitcher's duel
between Eklof and Stone for
Northwestern. After a scorless first
three innings, the Mill Citians
broke lose for two runs in the
fourth, followed by Singletons in
the fifth and sixth. Meanwhile,
Bethel scored all three of their
runs in the sixth in a good come-back
rally, but it proved to be
not quite enough. Northwestern
added an insurance run in the
eighth to make the final score in
their favor 5-3.
Each team collected eight hits,
all singles. Danny Bloom was the
hiting star for Bethel, as he drove
in two runs in the big sixth. Gordy
Johnson had 3 for 5 for a good
day at the plate, and Bud Eklof
got two hits in his four times at
Both teams turned in some fine
fielding and base running. Each
team scored an unassisted double
play. Werts for Bethel and Lehn
for Northwestern.
In the pitching department,
Eklof walked four, struck out 6,
while Stone walked only 2, and
fanned 10.
Sports Sketch
Delmar Johnson, 21 year old
junior, is playing his second year
with the Indian baseball team as
third basemen. Previous to his ac-tivities
in Bethel sports, Delmar
played basketball at Hirsch high
school in Chicago, from which he
graduated in 1946; also church
leagues in Chicago—Delmar play-ed
with the Elim Baptist team—
gave him practice in softball. How-ever
his first taste of baseball
came at Bethel last year as he
covered the third base sack. In
addition to baseball, Delmar is an
ardent handball enthusiast, playing
nearly every evening.
In the scholastic field, Delmar
has completed one year of semi-nary
study besides his three years
of college work. At the present
time philosophy is his major but,
if additional sociological subjects
are included in the Bethel cur-riculum
next year Delmar indicat-ed
his desire to switch to a socio-logy
Extra-curriculur activities in the
nature of gospel teams, music, and
the religious council kept Delmar's
life outside of the classroom a
busy one. His abilities in the
musical, including playing the
piano and singing, greatly increase
his value on gospel team work.
Throughout the year, he has been
an active member of the male
Delmar remarked that there is
a spiritual bond present this year
in the baseball squad which has
been lacking in some of the past
seasons. In fact, the campus as a
whole has demonstrated greater
unity scholastically and socially
chiefly because of the spiritual
unity effected by the bond of
Christian fellowship, is Delmar's
Greenman pitched against Beth-any,
holding them to 5 hits. Both
Bethany and Bethel scored one
run apiece in each of the first
two innings. In the Indian half of
the third, the winning run was
scored by the Indians. The pitching
responsibility shifted to Eklof in
the game with Luther.
On Wednesday, May the 17th,
the Indians squared up the season
with Northwestern by crossing the
plate with 8 runs and holding the
Eagles to 3. Pitcher Eklof allowed
Northwestern 5 'hits, and the In-dians
banged out 8 hits against
pitcher Schoonover of the Eagles.
First place in the intramural
trophy race was being contested
between the teams of Illinois and
East as of Monday, May 22. Ill-inois
had a total of 131.5 points
and East had a total of 112 at
that time. Yet remaining to be
played were the men's ping pong
doubles and handball doubles in
the final division, and the men's
handball singles in both the semi-final
and final division. To win
first place, East must win first in
all three contests to claim the tro-phy.

Indians Claim Week-end Wins
Against Bethany and Luther
The final two games of the Indian season were played off last
Saturday when the team journeyed first to Mankato to engage Bethany
in a morning event, and then appeared against Luther in an afternoon
event. Bethany fell 3-2, and Indian power crowned the Luther game
On Tuesday, May the 9th, the Indians showed good control of the
diamond and poked out hits at the right times to defeat Concordia
Junior College of St. Paul, 8-4. Pitcher Eklof allowed 5 hits for Con-cordia,
and the Indians batted out 8 hits against hurler Burchardt of
No scores were recorded in the first two innings, however, a single
in the first by Koehler, put a man / on for Concordia. On an attempt to
steal, Werts picked him off at
second. In the Indians half of the
first Gordon Johnson and Bud
Pierce both singled to left field
but the side was retired before
a score could cross the plate.

Bethel College Draws Students
Of Many Countries and States
In the United States, from Los
Angeles to Brooklyn and from
Bowdoinham, __Maine __to Cotton-wood,
Arizona the students came
to Bethel this school year. Quite
naturally, Minnesota led in the
greatest number from any one
state, but several states pressed
Minnesota for that honor, Illinois
in particular. Illinois claims as
residents at least sixty students
from Bethel. Next in line is Iowa
which sent at least thirty-five
young men and women to St. Paul
and Bethel.
Two other midwest states fol-lowed,
those of Wisconsin and
Michigan in that order. Wisconsin
had at least thirty students and
Michigan about twenty-seven. Then
switching to the far west and Cali-fornia
which sent twenty students
to Bethel this year. Nebraska fol-lowed
with fifteen as did Mas-sachussetts.
Then the states of
Washington was next with thirteen
and North Dakota with twelve,
followed by its sister state of
South Dakota with ten.
Polomeme Potters
Present Pottery
Making Methods
The Polomeme Potters, Mrs.
Susan Conrad and Mr. J. Eldwin
Sawhill, presented an intriguing
demonstration of pottery making
at the College Chapel, Tuesday,
May 16.
Pottery making, in both its an-cient
and modern methods, is a
part of the program and those at-tending
the demonstration saw
vases, bowls, and other earthen-ware
develop before their eyes
on the potter's wheel.
Along with the actual process of
making pottery, Mrs. Conrad and
Mr. Sawhill presented a little of
the history of the most ancient
process of throwing, pressing,
building, and pouring the clay into
forms, while this was demonstrat-ed.
Other more complicated phases
of pottery making such as ceramics
and ceramic sculpture was ex-plained
by the Polomeme Potters.
The potter's wheel on which the
earthenware was formed can be
made out of almost anything.
Rev. Thompson
Speaks to Grads
The 1950 graduating class, facul-ty
members, students and friends
of the school met together on Sun-day,
May 21 for the annual bac-calaureate
service held in the col-lege
chapel at 4 P.M. President
Wingblade opened the service with
prayer after which the chapel
choir sang two numbers of praise
and devotion.
Following this, Dean. Carlson of
the college and Dean Omark of
the seminary read Scripture and
led in prayer. The speaker for the
occasion was Rev. Lester Thomp-son
from Muskegon, Michigan who
delivered a challenging message
on the text, "Spring up 0 Well".
After the service, refreshments
were served in the dining hall.
Student Okay
Game Evening
Bethel game night, held Satur-day
night, May 6th, as an experi-ment
on campus, met with such
favor as to promote further activ-ity
next fall.
This idea was first thought of
Ix hen Al Windham and Ron John-son
were talking in the coffee
shop. It was the general idea that
on some Friday or Saturday nights
many students were without "fel-lowship"—
this brought to Al's
mind the successful game nights
held at Bible Institute Of Los
It was estimated that approxi-mately
60 or 70 students partici-pated
in the games. There were
groups playing monopoly, karum,
chess, jig-saw puzzles, even jacks
(all donated by various indivi-duals),
as well as volley ball, ping-pong,
and hand ball.
Next year this function will be
under the direction of some non-affiliated
group and will be held
only on week-end nights when no
other school function is being held.

Recital Given By
Bethel's first annual music re-cital
took place Monday night,
May 15, in the college chapel.
Since Bethel has grown in size and
in curriculum these past two years
there has been a growing interest
in music in all its forms and
several gave expression to that in-terest
last Monday night.
Participants in the recital were:
Rhoda Armstrong, Piano; Clarence
Larson, voice; Carol Dubuque,
piano; Claryce Skoog, voice; Rich-ard
Dahiquist and Jim Hubbard,
piano; Phil McLain, voice; Al and
Dick Anthony, piano; Keith La-
Gesse, voice; Conrad Lundberg,
violin; Benny Asplund, voice; Ruth
Erbst, organ; Anna Karcher, vio-lin;
Audrey Ekdahl, voice; Carol
Addington, piano; and an instru-mental
The music department has added
both instructors and courses this
year, making it possible for more
students to study than ever be-fore.
Plans for the future are not
complete as yet, but it is certain
that the student music recital will
be an annual affair at Bethel.

Climaxing an eventful year of activities as a group, the members
of the Bethel Dining Hall staff will gather this evening in Bethel's
Green Room for their annual Spring Banquet. This event will be of
special significance to many as a large majority of the staff will not
be returning next year.
The student body of Bethel college for 1949-50 was made up of
students from at least twenty-four states and ten foreign countries.
Heading the list from foreign countries was our good neighbor to
the north, Canada with at least eight students. Although Mexico was
not represented, Guatemala, a little farther down the map, was repre-sented
by Roselia Solis from Guatemala City.
The Scandinavian countries, Norway, Sweden, and Finland each
contributed one student to the lists of Bethel. They are Thorleif Aune-vik,
Paul Lillienburg and Alwar Sundell, from Norway, Sweden, and
Finland respectively.
From England came Edward Avey, from the Netherlands was
Johannes Niemeyer, and Germany
was represented by Annemarie
Oesterle. While on the other side
of the world Bethel was privileged
to have China and the Phillipines
represented by Helen Chao, and
Amado Chunco respectively.

Australian start-up scene scores new fund

The Australian start-up scene is set to receive another boost with the launch of a new mentor-driven investment fund, PushStart, which will offer a free year-round mentoring service.
Top 10 dying industries
Tuesday, April 5, 2011
The good people at Ibis World just released a report on which industries are facing the biggest declines. You can probably guess a few of them, and the major culprit behind the decline is another mainstay of change: Technological Development. The numbers are from the US economy over the past decade, but I think it's a fair representation of what is occurring in most first world developed economies.
So while you peruse the list, have a think about the incumbents and if they saw it coming or were in denial. Also have a think about where technology is taking us and if you can be a driving force behind flipping an existing industry on it's head with your new startup! Enjoy.
1. Apparel Manufacturing
Has declined by 77% over the past decade. Simple reason. Cost of wages in labour intensive industry.
2. Music Stores
In the past decade almost 80% of all music stores have closed down in the USA. Sales recorded music sold on a physical transportable device (Tapes, CD's, LP's et al) have declined 76.3% in the past 10 years. The only chance for survival is to be very niche, like some 'drive in cinemas' have done. even cultural icons, like Tower Records below have succumbed to the inevitable. If you look closely at the pic below, you might even see the who was behind it all…
3. Manufactured Home Dealers
Declined by over 70% in the past decade. Who knew?
4. Photo development
Photo finishing faced a 69% decline, which digital photography is entirely responsible for. Facebook and Flickr are quickly replacing the photo album, and Kodak got caught napping as this happened. The question is whether the increasing level of awesomeness of cameras in mobile phones will make stand alone digital cameras redundant?
5. Wired Communications
Wired telecoms declined by 54.9% since the year 2000. The evidence exists with how many people you know who've 'turned off' their fixed line connection. Long distance and overseas has equally been decimated by Skype which comes at peoples favourite price point – 'free' – with the added benefit of video. It's pretty clear that I life without wires is better than a life with them.
6. Mills
Manufacturing suffered a 50% decrease. Seems they are closing all the factories down in Allan Town – as 23% have closed down since 2000. It's a pretty simple formula here as reduced trade barriers and low wage markets have concocted this reality.
7. Newspaper Publishing
Your reading this on-line, and you probably get most of your news the same way. hence it isn't a gret surprise that newspaper Publishing has declined 35.9% in the past decade. What's really interesting is that most of us consume more news and content than ever before, we just get it in different places from different people. The problem with most publishers is that they confuse the delivery mechanism (the physical publishing) with why they actually exist. granted, lower barriers to deliver any form information has made the old model almost impossible to maintain. I'd also argue that the pay walls being put up by Rupert Murdoch and the New York Times won't cut it when valid substitutes are 'free'.
8. DVD, Game & Video rental
A percentage decrease of 35.7% which is easy to see as local video & DVD rental stores close down. The on-line alternative is simply superior. Enough said.
9. Formal Wear & Costume rental
A curious one as this industry has declined by 35%. Most probably a combination of reduced prices for textiles in general and the casualisation of dress throughout society.
10. Video Post Production
With standard simple digital manipulation tools on our desk top, services of this nature have been hurt. They've declined by 24.9% in the past decade. Only the very high end have survived.

Teaching gratitude, and perspective, to children
It happens all the time. My 8-year-old, Liam, will have a perfectly fine day — a good one, even. He will have played with a friend, had hot cocoa, and taken the dog for a walk with his dad. But when he gets into a fight with his sister and ends up being sent to his room to calm down, he'll declare: "This is the worst day ever!"
Liam needs BPOD.
BPOD is a term coined by my dear friend Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, who started the tradition in her family. It stands for "Best Part of the Day." Every night at dinner, they go around the table and everyone tells their favorite part of the day. Dr. Swanson says that it has now become part of her family's language, and how they think about their days. When something fun or good happens to one of her two boys, such as scoring a goal at a soccer game, he'll say, "This is my BPOD!"
I love this tradition. I love it because it teaches gratitude, and, boy, is gratitude a good thing to learn. I also love it because it helps give perspective, and we need that desperately too.
Sure, not every moment of every day turns out the way we want. There are plenty of days when nothing seems to turn out the way we want. But if we make ourselves stop and think, we can always find something. It may be as simple as a great cup of coffee. Or a bus that came on time — and had a seat. Or a presentation that went better than expected. Or a smile from someone. Or a hug from someone we love. When we think about our BPOD, it can give us just the perspective on our day, and life in general, that we need.
Swanson has a new book. It's called "Mama Doc Medicine," and it's full of advice and information that helps us gain perspective on all sorts of things — from fussy babies to tantrums to immunizations to that ever-elusive work-life balance.
Think about starting BPOD in your house, or your own equivalent. You'll be teaching your child some important lessons. And it might just help you too.

It's no secret that I greatly dislike both Obama and Romney, so my expectations were pretty low going into yesterday's election. Thus it came as some surprise to me that I went to bed late last night feeling happier about the results than I have for any election in my lifetime, and that has nothing to do with who will or won't be in the White House.
Yesterday morning I tweeted, "Hoped-for silver linings today: Marijuana legalization, marriage equality, no GMO labeling, good turnout for Gary Johnson." Pretty much everything I could have reasonably hoped for came true.
Marijuana legalization — Two out of three states where marijuana legalization was on the ballot approved the measure. My own Oregon let me down, but Washington and Colorado succeeded. Voters also legalized medical marijuana in Massachusetts and decriminalized it in Detroit. By putting two states in direct conflict with the federal government, this is potentially a watershed year in the movement toward a more humane drug policy.
Marriage equality — Same-sex marriage was on the ballot in four states yesterday. In Maine, Maryland, and Washington, it was approved by popular majorities. In Minnesota, a majority rejected a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Demographic shifts and growing social acceptance make it seem inevitable that more, perhaps all, states will eventually follow their lead.
GMO labeling — This is one issue on which I'm opposed to many of my peers in the food and drink industry, but I think that California's proposal to require labeling of genetically modified foods was deeply flawed. The case that they are harmful to consume is very weak, labeling and liability would be costly, and the proposal itself was riddled with exemptions. If consumers and activists want to avoid GMOs I would rather see them push for more organic food or other explicitly GMO-free options than force mandatory labeling onto the entire food system. Cheers to California voters for getting this one right.
Eminent domain bonus — I wasn't following Virginia's referendum to further protect private property from Kelo-style takings for private development, but I'm heartened to learn that it was overwhelmingly approved.
Gary Johnson — His campaign never crystallized as I hoped it might, but Johnson nonetheless earned 1% of the vote and as of this writing a raw total of 1,139,562 votes, the most of any Libertarian Party candidate in history. More importantly, I think Johnson may have done more than any recent candidate to reach out to the left and make libertarianism cool. (Sorry, Bob Barr.)
Romney lost — Romney was just terrible. The flip-side is that Obama won, which is also terrible but marginally less so. Most importantly, yesterday was a straight-up beatdown for social conservatism and the last twelve years of Republican politics. This opens the door, at least, to a better GOP.
After all of this, watching Obama's soaring acceptance speech at a bar in downtown Portland was simply anti-climactic. As my friend Conor Friedersdorf tweeted, "This speech would be more enjoyable if I didn't already know what follows Barack Obama speeches like this. An imperial presidency." Or as my friend sitting next to me summed it up, "I don't even care about this shit. This is just bullshit."
The electoral outcome of this presidential race was going to be dismal no matter what. On the economy, on foreign policy, on the Drug War, neither side offered the kind of changes we need. The inspiring story from yesterday is that in so many instances where voters had the option to expand freedom directly, they voted to do so. Given the opportunity to let gays marry the people they love, to let sick people access medical marijuana, to let ordinary citizens smoke a joint once in a while without fearing prison, they voted to live and let live. This bodes well for the future. We progress in spite of our politicians.

Earlier this week, VMware announced its new offering, called Cloud Foundry, which consists of several components of cloud infrastructure. The overarching theme of the announcement was VMware's new support for Platform-As-A-Service (PaaS). In this design, the VMware software stack provides services that can be snapped together quickly with simple commands and configurations. For example, a Cloud Foundry instance, can be quickly configured to host a Spring or Ruby on Rails application. The application is then uploaded to the instance of the machine on the cloud and the remaining services are specified. For example, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis, are the persistence services that can be specified today. Bolt them on and, if you've written your app correctly, it will use the specified database to store data. So far, this does not sound terribly innovative or remarkable, although in fact it is an advance over the current state of the art.
What makes it truly different, though, is that the software to configure a cloud app this way is a downloadable client-side utility, called vmc. The developer can use vmc to start up a cloud instance, load the app, specify the services, and run the whole shebang from the command-line interface or a script on the development machine. (vmc itself is a Ruby gem.)
VMware takes this model one step further: It allows you to download the software to create a Cloud Foundry instance (that is, the server side) onto your desktop or laptop. In this way, you can host the cloud instance on your local machine. This has the benefit of greatly facilitating testing. At present, you can deploy to the cloud without leaving the IDE, such as from Eclipse with tooling for the Google App Engine (GAE). There, you can test and reload very quickly from within the dev environment. But the GAE is still remote, so connectivity is required, as is putting up with network delays.
My overall impression of the announcement is that VMware is actively courting developers again — an audience that was at one time its core customer base. In the intervening period, VMware has successfully positioned itself as an enterprise IT vendor (which it surely is), while emphasizing less on its developer connection (despite buying up Spring, Groovy, and Grails). It is now reaching out anew to us as we emerge as key gatekeepers to the cloud.
In that regard, it's important to point out that Cloud Foundry is very much a product in process, and not enterprise-ready. The site, cloudfoundry.com, clearly states that the product is in beta. The micro-cloud product will not be released until later this quarter. The remaining products will be available, according to VMware's Jerry Chen, at the end of the year at the earliest. Moreover, the services that Cloud Foundry provides do not include enterprise-capable databases, nor even VMware's own commercial cloud database, GemFire. So, before getting too excited, we'll have to wait and see.
However, it's clear that by providing both hosting and cloud management software for local deployment, VMware is injecting itself into a market in which it has previously been absent — despite having invented the core cloud technologies.

The Effect of New Production Methods on U.S Oil Output
By Ben on July 16, 2012 at 4:51 pm
Prof. Hamilton
Thanks for the thoughtful insights and citation of Jason's analysis on the potential impact of tight oil supplies. It may be fair to suggest that geopolitical events, and the trajectory of growth in developing Asia, will influence the fossil fuels markets more than any production technology for the blance of this decade. $70 bbl as benchmark pricing–if we might describe it as such– offers a pivot-point for most OPEC producers who enjoy healthy margins at such price levels while seeking to avert any killing of the golden goose innteh form of international balance of payments/trade flows. This is, of course, much easier said than done. It does remind me of an exchange with an associate who is an old business partner of the late William E. Simon; the former Treasury secretary shared his personal views on the ultimate prospects of success in recycling the petrodollar through cooperation with the House of Saud; "we'll be okay so long as they don't mind that we are paying for oil with currency from the Monopoly game in our living room closet."
It was Jacques Rueff who coined the phrase "'deficits without tears." His book by the same title (regardless of it's academic merits) remains a telling epitaph for an age of remarkable profligacy and shortsightedness on the part of the West.
Thanks for your own educational efforts directed toward the painstaking task of turning our ship of state. Much easier said than done, indeed.
By mac on November 16, 2012 at 5:45 pm
All of this supposes that we will stick with oil forever.
I humbly suggest that this will not always be the case.
All the scenarios assume we will continue to consume oil at about the present level.
When natural gas or electrically powered vehicles are introduced into the equation, the variables in the equation change.
The assumption among oil centered analysts has always been that oil and the demand for oil is the constant. It is not.
By josserand on November 19, 2013 at 6:52 pm
Even though oil consumption declined sharply in North America and Western Europe following the 2008 banking collapse, the assumption of sticking with oil for a very long time is still probably a good one overall. For one thing, any reductions in oil consumption have been largely negated by similar scale increases in oil usage by China and India. Oil is simply too good a source of dense and portable energy, plus it enables much easier manufacturing of huge and vital product categories like pharmaceuticals, paints, plastics, tires, etc.
So it seems unlikely that humans will ever leave much economically extractable crude oil in the ground, unless it's legally prohibited and maybe not even then. Sure, there are now a few vehicles powered by natural gas and a few electrically-powered cars, but nearly all of the cars in this group are actually hybrids, which still use gasoline at a slightly reduced rate, rather than all-electric plug-ins which still scare off many potential buyers due to valid range-anxiety concerns. None of the all-electric cars are even close to being big sellers thus far, even with relatively large government subsidies being in play for several years now. The inertia of our existing (and still growing) fleet of gasoline-powered cars and diesel-powered trucks will be with us as required tools of suburban mobility and domestic container shipping for many decades to come, or as long as the oil holds out. And our kerosene-powered airlines are dearly cherished by large corporations, influential upper-income consumers and especially by our well-travelled politicians, and therefore will not be easily grounded.

I wanted to post here a semi-automatic update/upgrade solution I--with a lot of help from someone more knowledgeable--came up with in case it might be of benefit to anyone else. It's been working pretty well for me over the course of the last couple of weeks and should aid me in becoming a better Archer. I also want to ask in this thread for confirmation on whether installing Arch on a couple of machines I have that see fairly intermittent use is inadvisable: if so, I'll look into installing some other distro. First the semi-automatic update solution.
To begin with, what do I mean by "semi-automatic?" Mainly I mean something that's only partially automatic. See, I've come to understand that automating updates/upgrades is a bad idea©™. And I think I understand why. Still, I apparently lack the discipline to be a good Archer, upgrading/updating frequently so as to conform with the philosophy. So I thought I should use my computer to help me be more disciplined: that's partly what they're for, after all, isn't it?
I decided I might make the computer help me be more disciplined, first of all, by making it issue reminders at frequent, regular intervals, that it is time to update/upgrade. Of course cron came immediatelty to mind as part of the solution, though I ended up using the remind program instead. In any case, it seemed like a solution that, not only would remind me at regular, frequent intervals would be desireable, but one that would at the same time initiate the process, would be even better. I thought it must be possible to, for example, cause a terminal to open with a message and corresponding menu that would say something like "System update/upgrade needed: proceed now? 1. Yes 2. No"
This latter would be one of the elements that makes the solution semi-automatic (as opposed to automatic). Answering 2. in that terminal would cause the terminal to simply exit. Answering 1., on the other hand, runs the command sudo pacman -Syu. There is a further level of semi-automation at this stage: you are then prompted to enter the root password before pacman -Syu will run. So, no updating/upgrading happens without input at these two stages.
I should mention as I wrap up this description of my solution that there is yet another important element to it that, while independent of it, is nonetheless related: I subscribed some weeks ago to the Arch news RSS feed. I check that daily, so an even further level of semi-automation is in play here.
This seems to me like it will be a very good solution to bringing my behavior into better conformity with the Arch philosophy. It's worked well so far. That said, I'm certainly open to criticisms. I'm also very open to any improvements that might be suggested. Without further ado, here is the script I run every other day from the remind daemon:
PS3='Begin full system upgrade? '
options=("Yes" "No")
select opt in "${options[@]}"
case $opt in
echo "Beginning full system upgrade..."
sudo pacman -Syu
echo "Please choose the corresponding number"
Now, to my question about my other machines as possible Arch install targets. The above applies to the desktop machine in my apt. which is almost always powered on and connected to the 'net: what follows applies to two different machines.
One is a laptop that I use primarily when I travel. It often sits powered off for 1-2 months between uses. The other is an alternate desktop machine in my apt. that is also infrequently used: essentially, when both the wife and I want to work on-line separately--which is not all that frequently (she prefers knitting to computing during her time at home)--it gets fired up. Again, it often sits for 1-2 months without being used.
Now, it seems to me these machines are poor targets for an Arch install because they are far more frequently off-line than on-line, powered down than powered up. Thus they are very unlikely to be updated/upgraded on any kind of regular basis, and certainly never regularly and frequently, as seems to be recommended for Arch machines.
Am I correct in assuming I should be looking for some other distro to install on these infrequently-used machines?

Search the forums, there is a tool (probably in community contributions) that does exactly what you are looking for... yet might not know it. It runs an update, but before doing so, checks that news feed you subscribe to and then compares the potential updates against the updates. If they are mentioned in the news, they are ignored and a warning is posted.
Okay, I think it is pacmatic, and it is apparently now in the repos.

Thanks for your input, WonderWoofy. I ran across that script, which I think used to be called safepac, in a forum posting a couple of weeks ago. I asked about it on the forums and got nearly-universal negative feedback. And I decided a solution like the one I envisioned might work better for me anyway. After creating this thread I've discerned a needed improvement: that script should check first whether another instance of itself is running and either kill the second before running, or else simply refuse to run. I'll start looking into how that might be done.
In any case, I'm actually just as interested in getting feedback on the two other machines I posted about and on whether they're poor targets for an Arch installation. Can anyone comment on that? Seems to me they're not: disagreements, expressions of assent, anyone?
I like pacmatic (as suggested at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … _pacmatic). What is supposed to be wrong with it?
It doesn't ignore updates, by the way. It does two things. First, it checks the news and tells you about important news items as soon as you run e.g. pacmatic -Syu. Then it runs the upgrade in the normal way. For example, a news item today concerned lvm2, dev-mapper and linux being upgraded together. It gave me the news item. Then it did the usual paman upgrade routine and upgraded everything, including those packages. Second, every time you run it, it reminds you of any *.pacnew files you haven't dealt with and asks if you want to deal with them now. At least, it asks about most. It never mentions kdmrc.pacnew for some reason.
It's just a wrapper for pacman. From the script:
Pacmatic is a pacman wrapper that takes care of menial but critial tasks.
These include
Checking the archlinux.org news
Summarizing the arch-general mailing list
Reminding if it has been a while since the last sync
Reporting pacnew files
Editing pacnew files
Personally, I've installed an alternative distro on machines which I'm not sure I will be using very regularly. (Also, I like having distinct distros just in case something goes wrong in one case - even if it is a bit of a faff sometimes.)

About the two rarely used computers:
Arch, being a rolling release, should be maintained regularly like a car should be maintained regularly. You can get away with doing the maintenance less often then recommended but you will end up having more problems. I'd recommend once a week to keep the maintenance easy, others might think differently. If you're not going to be inclined to open up that travel laptop once a week to maintain it you might be better off using something like debian on it. There's nothing wrong with using a distro like debian, it just doesn't have the latest software available.
On the other hand, if you never update you never have problems with updates...
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

My mistake. It looks like pacmatic and safepac, though sharing many similarities, are two different scripts: pacmatic is less automated and would therefore, I assume, not be subject to the same criticisms I heard voiced about safepac.
The laptop is meant to provide convenience by allowing me to compute while traveling. Having to remember, while not traveling, to start it up and check for and install updates weekly, reduces the convenience factor. Sounds like I should be installing something along the lines of Debian testing on these two machines.
There is no need for weekly updates. Not updating for several months can go well ... and sometimes not so well. It depends on the significance of the updates, using pacmatic means you will know there is likely to be issues before you do the update. If you want everything to happen automagically then Debian would be a better distro for this imho.
Personally I run several distros Arch being one, it's kept up to date and relatively simple to understand how things work and what's going on. I also run Mint Debian Edition using Debian stable repositories, which works well if you don't need the latest software.
Failing to update for several months is likely to increase entertainment value on Arch, but leaving updates several months has had little impact on the update process for Debian stable. Just because updates are less regular does not exclude the use of Arch, only you will know what you need and effort you are prepared to put in to keeping things up to date - or performing updates.

Aaron Carter Not Impressed by Justin Bieber 'Beauty and a Beat' Video
One person who was not the least bit impressed by Justin Bieber's PR stunt and video for 'Beauty and a Beat' is Aaron Carter.
The former teen sensation, once the bone of contention between Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff, tweeted his distaste for the video, which should cause Beliebers to firebomb his Twitter account with messages of pure, unadulterated hate. He criticized The Biebs and intimated that it's a rip off of his 'Aaron's Party' video, which is something that won't sit well with the Bieber faithful.
Below are Carter's tweets about the video. He didn't say much in direct fashion, but there was venom behind that digital transmission. You can certainly sense his annoyance.
Are there some similarities between the videos? Sure, thanks to the party scenes, but it's nothing that looks directly lifted. And party scenes in pop videos are nothing new.
Plus, The Biebs isn't wearing a hideous fur coat in his clip. Instead, he has turned in a pop music video, largely told from a first person digital perspective. So Aaron, we're sorry you're not impressed, but the rest of the Internet is, since clip was viewed nearly 11 million times in 24 hours. Oh, and a word of warning. Brace for Belieber impact.
I'm not impressed.
