Insuring a young driver
Insuring a young driver
While you cannot control your young driver and if they will text while driving, you can protect your assets by reviewing your liability limits with your agent. You will want to select higher liability coverages to pay for injuries to other people or damage to others' property if there is a covered accident and your driver is found responsible. Higher limits equals more coverage.
We also recommend an umbrella policy up to ten million for better coverage.

Drowsy Water Ranch SkyDeck Now Open for the Season
Tomorrow, July 2, 2009, the Sears Tower is opening the new Skydeck on the 103rd Floor. At 1,353 feet, the deck is the highest observatory in Chicago and offers a fine view of the city's architecture.
Well, out here, we've had our Skydeck open for a month now. We didn't alert the press or call the president, we just invited friends. At our ranch, the Skydeck is around 8400 feet high. It is Colorado at it's finest. Unlike Chicago's version, you can't see any skyscrapers or cathedrals, all the mountains get in the way.
Our Sky deck has a world-class tour guide,

Darien's CST50 offers cardio, strength and toning in 50 minutes
This unique -- and somewhat stylish -- method of exercise that two local women have brought to Darien could change the way people get fit. It happened for them.
A former finance professional in Manhattan, Felice Marcy gave the Megaformer a whirl at one of the certified facilities in New York City. She was hooked.
"I was always into trying new types of exercise classes, (but) the Megaformer was like no other class I had ever taken," she said.
The Megaformer is an all-in-one exercise machine that offers a full-body experience -- cardio and simultaneous muscle workout, while at the same time giving a low-stress impact on the body. The 50-minute workout sessions are led by trained instructors, and include an ever-changing range of exercises.
Marcy, who has been taking exercise classes since she was 16 and teaching them for many years, said she had never walked away from a class with such a combined impact for cardio, strength and toning.
"And the best part: no impact to the joints," she said.
More InformationFact box
"We thought, `Wouldn't it be great to bring it to Darien,' " said Annabel Marisca, who, along with Marcy, in May opened CST50, a Megaformer affiliate, that stands for "Cardio, Strength, Transform, in 50 minutes" at 9 Old Kings Highway North.
"Felice and I knew each other since high school," Marisca said. "We both grew up in Greenwich."
By chance, both women chose to raise their families in Darien and have five children between them.
"I always loved fitness," Marisca said, so it felt like a natural change to move from her background in finance, to having a go at overseeing an exercise shop.
"This is a perfect balance for us, (and) we don't have to commute to the city anymore," she said.
"Also, I love being part of the community and meeting so many new people," Marcy said.
In November, after both decided they really wanted to pursue the business, they flew to Los Angeles to get certified. "We purchased the machines from Sebastian Lagree," Marisca said. "He's the founder and the person behind the design and make of the Megaformer.
"He's the one that you basically contact to set up a studio, and you can name it whatever you want," she said. "We purchased the territory in Connecticut," which includes Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, Westport and New Canaan.
"I have never done any workout like this before," said Jennifer Bickerton, of Darien. "I used to do five days of very intensive, high-impact classes, and I was injured over time."
She said that the Megaformer machine -- and CST50 -- have given her a solution.
"I understand now why so many of my friends in New York City go and rave about it," she said. "When it opened in Darien, I was first in line to try it, and I was hooked immediately."
She also commended the instructors, whom she said mix up the exercises during the classes, making them challenging and fun each time. There are also usually two instructors in a room of 10 people, she said, aiding in the workout, making every class feel "like a personal training session."
With a range of classes and, thus far, a range of clients ages 18 to 72, Marisca said, "We're open seven days a week."

On Rachel Escue's 16th birthday, she went with friends to take her driver's license test. She also signed up to become an organ donor.
When she came home, she shared the news with her mother, Jencie Escue.
"Look, I'm an organ donor," her mother recalled Rachel saying. "I'm not going to need them when I die."
"We had never discussed it before," Escue said. "That was her decision completely."
Two years later, the Escues were preparing for a family trip to Hawaii, and 18-year-old Rachel decided to swing by the bank to cash her paycheck before the trip. Her 15-year-old younger sister Jamie also hopped in the car for the short ride to the bank.
As Rachel was pulling out from the bank to merge into Germantown Parkway, the car was broadsided by another car – leaving Rachel trapped inside and both sisters critically injured.
Firemen and EMT crews worked for nearly 40 minutes to free Rachel from the tangled mess. Both sisters were rushed to The Regional Medical Center at Memphis and into surgery.
Initially, Jencie and her husband, Mark, were told both sisters had sustained severe brain damage and weren't going to make it. But several hours later, they learned that Jamie would need ocular surgery but had not sustained brain damage, and would survive.
The prognosis was not good for Rachel: her brain was slowly dying because of pressure.
After they learned Rachel would not survive the accident, the Escues were approached by a representative from the Mid-South Transplant Foundation to discuss Rachel's wish to donate her organs.
"We remembered what she had done when she got her driver's license, but just hadn't thought about it yet," Jencie Escue said. "But we both knew she would have wanted that done."
The time between when a patient begins to die and when that same patient is declared brain-dead can be critical. Organ donation abides by a paradox: a person has to be declared dead before any organs can be removed, but the organs must be alive to be transferred to a living recipient.
After the Escues made the decision to honor Rachel's wishes, it was still several days before she died. The Escues believe Rachel held on several days until Jamie's operation had been successfully completed before she was ready to let go. Jencie Escue said she went to tell Rachel that Jamie was going to be OK, and it was shortly after that Rachel died.
"We heard the helicopters coming and we knew she was going to be placed out in the world with other people and that bits of her would live on," Escue said.
Doctors were able to procure Rachel's heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas and tissue for transplant recipients. The Escues know that Rachel's heart went to a mother of five in Knoxville, but they haven't been ready to reach out to the recipients yet.
"She was so giving," Escue said. "I love that the last thing she could do would be to give to others. It helps the families and friends of the children who pass away to know that even if you don't meet the recipients, you know that pieces of your loved ones are helping others and living on."
Vera Johnson also hasn't heard from the Florida family that donated their loved one's heart. But her new heart has given her a new chance at life.
Johnson, who has rheumatoid arthritis, isn't exactly sure what led to her congestive heart failure. But she had gotten to the point where she was left gasping for breath after walking up stairs and needed to hang on to furniture to navigate her own home.
As the frequency of Johnson's trips to the emergency room increased, doctors determined her heart was slowly failing.
"They told me the only thing that would keep me alive would be to get another heart," she said. "They told me my heart had stopped functioning and had stopped working over time."
Johnson waited on the United Network for Organ Sharing transplant waiting list for about three months. As Johnson and her youngest son enjoyed breakfast and reading the morning paper, his cell phone went off. He didn't recognize the number, and decided not to answer. A few minutes later, the house phone rang. It was the United Network for Organ Sharing letting the Johnsons know that a heart was ready.
"He didn't even ask me," Johnson said. "He just said yes."
It's been about two years since Johnson's transplant and she's finally getting to do many of the things she hasn't been able to do for years. On a recent morning, she enjoyed gardening with her grandson and digging in the soft ground to plant a summer garden.
"It really humbles you that someone had enough love for life that they would donate their (loved one's) child's organs," she said. "I have another person's heart in my body. It really humbles you and you are just filled with gratitude."
The Escues also haven't forgotten the gift their daughter made and have worked to raise awareness about organ donation. Cheerleaders from Bolton High School, where Rachel was a student and cheerleader, also have continued to honor her memory.
To raise local awareness, the Arlington High School cheerleading team will perform at The Mid-South Transplant Foundation's Annual Linking Hands for Life Event on April 21 to celebrate National Donate Life Month.
The celebration will be held at the Overton Park Levitt Shell, and will include a concert featuring David Parks, a native Memphian who was on the MTV show "Making His Band."

Samsung galaxy s4 zoom
Samsung has announced the Galaxy S4 Zoom, the most powerful smart phone camera hybrid on the market. And you will see a device very similar to a Galaxy S4 Mini. It has a 4.3-inch HD display, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of storage memory that is expandable via micro SD cards, and a 1.9-megapixel camera.
On the back, it is a full-fledged camera, with a 16-megapixel sensor and 10x optical zoom, which is far better than on any other smart phone or smart phone camera hybrid. It also sports an optical image stabilizer (OIS), and Samsung's Smart Mode, which automatically chooses the best settings for your photos. LTE is also on board, as is Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC.
Big gauntlet to Nokia
At 125.5 x 63.5 x 15.4 mm, it is bulkier than most high-end smart phones, but the Galaxy S4 Zoom truly sounds like it might fulfill the promise of bringing the "best of both worlds," as Samsung CEO and head of mobile JK Shin puts it. The Galaxy S4 Zoom also throws quite a big gauntlet to Nokia, whose Pure View technology has so far been the best camera tech in a smart phone, though never in a truly high-end one. Pricing for the model has not yet been announced.
New addition to smart phone
Samsung has just announced another new addition to its smart phone line-up, the Galaxy S4 zoom, a modified version of its flagship and best selling Galaxy S4 that include a 10x optical zoom, 13-megapixel CMOS censor and Xenon flash.
Passion for photography
The device is aimed squarely at those with a passion for photography, and it includes a 16-megapixel camera, that is a significant increase on the Galaxy S4′s 13-megapixel shooter. That puts the device on par with the original incarnation of the Galaxy Camera, which also had a 16-megapixel snapper. The zoom includes a 1.9 megapixel camera on the front.
GALAXY S4 zoom
The Korean phone-maker said in a statement, "The GALAXY S4 zoom is the realization of Samsung's mission to create a single device that can fulfill the role of both an industry leading smart phone and a high-end compact camera". Galaxy s4 zoom 41 730x333 Samsung announces the Galaxy S4 zoom, sporting a 16 megapixel camera and 10x optical zoom.
Getting down to technical details, the S4 zoom is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and has super AMOLED screen with a 960×540 resolution. Like the regular S4, it runs on Jelly Bean Android 4.2.
Water proof
It is water proof handset and it's not the first attempt by a manufacturer to make their handset completely waterproof.
Memory status
The device comes with 8GB of internal memory which Samsung sticking to its new policy of openness says gives around 5GB of usable memory. Given the spanking new camera and the quality of images it is capable of snapping, it therefore follows that owners of the phone will be taking advantage of the micro-SD slot, which takes cards of up to 64GB.
Appling for fans
The Galaxy S4 shipped 10 million units in its first month a new record for Samsung but the zoom version is likely to be even more appealing to fans of high-end devices. You can get the Galaxy S4 in any color you want with Color ware.

EPA Update on Yellowstone River Oil Spill (Silvertip Pipeline), July 11, 2011
Release Date: 07/11/2011
Contact Information: Matthew Allen, (720) 237-7414; Libby Faulk, (406) 351-9014
Community meeting to be held in Laurel on Wednesday night
(Billings, Mont --, July 11, 2011) At approximately 11:00 PM on Friday, July 1 a break occurred in a 12-inch pipeline owned by ExxonMobil that resulted in a spill of crude oil into the Yellowstone River approximately 20 miles upstream of Billings, Montana. According to the company's estimates, 1,000 barrels of oil entered the river, which is in flood stage, before the pipeline was cut off. EPA is on-site and is directing and overseeing cleanup efforts, conducting air and water sampling and holding ExxonMobil, the responsible party, accountable. EPA's primary concern is protecting people's health and the environment and EPA will remain on-site to ensure cleanup and restoration efforts do just that. There are nearly 600 responders on scene conducting cleanup activities on various parts of the river. EPA will continue to direct and oversee the cleanup and restoration of the Yellowstone River and will continue to work to ensure people's health and the environment are protected.
EPA is providing ongoing water and air monitoring in the impacted areas of Montana, and will continue to sample wells that provide drinking water to homes and businesses. As water levels recede and shorelines become more accessible, Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Teams (SCAT) will be deployed to begin shoreline cleaning.
Over the weekend, ExxonMobil delivered a draft work plan to EPA. The work plan contains seven elements. EPA has determined three of those elements require further clarification and scope definition by the company. EPA has instructed ExxonMobil to provide a revised plan within the week. Those three areas that will be addressed are the oil recovery containment, source release area, and remediation sections of the plan. For further information please see the Administrative Order posted at the website below.
Media availability sessions will continue to be held by EPA daily at 11 a.m. The session will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, located at 27 North 27th Street in Billings, Conference Room 5 (3rd floor).
EPA will hold a community meeting at the Laurel High School on Wednesday, July 13th at 6:30 p.m. The high school is located at 203 East 8th Street in Laurel. At the event, EPA will provide an update on the cleanup and local public health representatives will address human health issues associated with the spill. In addition state and other federal agencies will be available to answer questions. Company representatives will also be available. An availability session to address specific needs will be held afterward. Media are encouraged to attend.

Included in: 'Inspirational Motivational Corporate Music' pack
Similar Music: Hope, Inspirational Motivational Corporate Music, Looking on the Bright Side, Living the Dream, Sweet and Catchy Ukulele Tunes
A track full of hope and positivity.
The piece begins with the main piano theme which is soon accompanied with an acoustic guitar and some light drumming. The drums soon drop in to the background and the piece begins to build towards the chorus and an infectious rhythm steadily mixes in to the track. The chorus kicks in with an uplifting chord progression played on the guitar and piano, accompanied with drums and bass. A catchy melody soon enters along with hand claps, heightening the positive feel that little bit more. Following the chorus, the main piano theme enters once again with a funky drum beat and bass line, maintaining the upbeat feel. Finally, the drum and bass combination fades into the distance as a calm piano section brings the track to a close.
Ideal for: Business and corporate projects/ motivational presentations/ adverts/ anything which could be enhanced with a hopeful soundtrack
Included in the download are the full track and a selection of 8 second loops which allow you to customise your soundtrack:

I managed to get in a little bit of post-Christmas clearance shopping today and I wasn't even looking. I was at the grocery store and all of the Christmas decorations were 75% off.
How do you say no to that?
Tom says it's easy to say no to that.
Good thing he wasn't there.
First I found these shatterproof ornaments. 12 balls for 94 cents.
Regularly $4 and $5. I scooped up 4 of those.
I love that there are so many different patterns and textures.
Then I found some snowball ornaments. 14 for $1.44.
Ahhhhh, the fluffy! I just want to pet them.
And finally some little glitter ornaments in different shapes
for $1.44 - 24 in a pack.
Look at all that shiny just waiting to spread the love.
And the glitter apparently.
So not bad, right? All this for $6.64.
Can you guess what colour scheme I'm going with next year?

I can't find it. There is a MOA magazine on eBay for June 86 that covers that rally, so I would assume that narrows it to June or July. You could contact the seller on eBay, maybe he'd look at it and tell you, maybe you'd evenlike to have that magazine. Or maybe another member here has it and can tell you, I'm sure the date would be in most any June or earlier MOA magazine.
87 K75S, bought new, now sold
07 K1200GT Bought new, now traded in
I wrote to the guy asking if he could look up the dates, but haven't heard back.
He probably figures I should buy the magazine if I want the info.

We got to do a parade lap around the track, and yes the corkscrew is something else.
BMW brought some current racers to do some demo laps on K75s and it's my recollection most were on the rev limiter most of the time.
Track has since been reconfigured and the area where I and I think most camped is now gone, used for the extension in length of the course.
Kent Christensen
I have since taken Reg's CLASS school a few times, and his son Jason's STAR school a couple fo times too. But it was that first RATS course that truly opened my eyes to what motocycles are capable of doing. A ride on the back with Reg is an eye opener for sure.

"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution." - Bertrand Russell
I found Laguna Seca a terrible rally site(Last in CA) with no facilities except the track itself. Camping was just average at best on the island. Our many to date rallies have mostly been better by far, since. Of course, IF you're a track rat, as my title suggests, you found it heaven. I too, know Reg Pridmore a very long time and his skills are beyond question. Those riding his bike as passenger were indeed thrilled and an eye opener. The K75s were wrenched out to there full and beyond potential on that track. One came in, blowing water from its radiator! Me, a tourer and skills well beyond most average riders on BMWs and others, leave tracks in my past. Been there(racer) done that, not again. Give me the offroad adventures today, for much more fun. GSA1200 Randy"Polarbear". GSs since 1982 for me. AND BTW, a GS/GSA makes a great track bike too, so don't ever race one unless you're really skilled on you'res! PS: Ever wonder the State of CA is not mentioned much as a future rally site? Its a loser state in attendance and costs and whatelse, you can figure. Our first was here, 40 years ago, Laguna came along, "flop" and not again! I picked another site recently, got ignored for bad reasons(IMO), also near Laguna? Randy

Bethelites witness for
Christ at Daytona' Bealch
by Kathleen Asselin
Spring break is a wild time down at Daytona Beach.
With college students from all over the country added to the
number of beach bums roaming the sands, the 23-mile
'ocean-front is hot with action.
To this oasis of sun and surf, over 120 Bethel students
traveled last week to join Operation Sunshine's beach
evangelism. Campus Crusade for Christ sponsored the week
by reserving tide-side hotel rooms, organizing "spiritual
nourishment" services, and forming Action Groups for prayer
and discussion of witnessing approaches.
The tool used for witnessing was the Four Spiritual
Laws booklet.
"The booklet was so handy," said Coral Webber. "It was
something they could follow along with you and something
you could leave with them."
Lori Harris added, "The Four Spiritual Laws told the
gospel in a compact and straightforward style. It explained
my faith so much better than I could."
Most students learned how to depend on the Holy Spirit
for boldness to communicate the gospel.
"Even when we were too scared to approach people,
the Lord brought people to us," said John Thompson. "Once
we were in a laundromat talking to a guy when two others
came in and tried to sell him a watch. He told them to
stick around and listen to us until he got change."
John shook his head in ama~ement. "There we had
three guys open to listen to us and, although we were
scared to death, the Lord spoke through us."
Bill Whittaker said that his confidence in his witnessing
from a high school Outreach team was a disadvantage.
"My attitude was like running the 440 and having a
220 headstart," he said. "Actually, thinking I could do it
on my own was like wearing lead boots."
"I learned that to accomplish anything in witnessing,
I had to' turn it over to the Lord" Bill said, "and just
go out and be natura!."
The Campus Crusade staff stressed this definition for
witnessing - tC!.king the initiative to share Christ through the
power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results up to
Steve Unruh related an experience where he left the
outcome of his efforts for the Lord.
"Norm Plasch and I talked to a guy who said that
Christianity wasn't his 'trip.' He seemed completely un~
interested," Steve said, "so we thanked him for listening
and walked down the beach, just leaving it in Jesus' hands."
"A little later we checked back," continued Steve. "We
saw the guy still sitting there looking thoughtful.' Then he
went over to another Campus Crusader who was sharing,
asked if he was talking about Christ, and joined their
conversation.' ,
Slow-motion football, Coed tug-of-war, and sand castle
building were among the activities planned to attract people
on the beach.
Dave Johnson said, "Slow-mo was helpful as a means
to witness as well as being a lot of fun. It gave a natural
way to start out a conversation with people."
A prayer chain continued through the week with two
Crusaders praying every hour. "That was one of the neater
hours in the week for me," said Curt Hanson. "You really
get to know someone well from praying with him for an
hour. Also, you could sense the support of prayer while
witnessing because you knew someone was keeping the lines
open with God for you."
Curt was the musical accompaniast for the morning
and evening services at the First Presbyterian Church for
the Daytona group. He said he enjoyed the sermons by Pas~
tor Jim "Sparkleburger" Spickelmier and the instructions
in "Romans" by Dave Sunde of Campus Crusade.
Hitting the hotel parties at night turned out to be a good
sharing time for Sue Johnson. She found that the kids wel~
comed anyone to join them and that starting a conversation
was a lot easier than approaching people on the
"I learned that God uses different people in different
ways," Sue said. "Anytime you share anything about your
faith you are witnessing because you are putting it in
people's minds."
Sue decided to join the Campus Crusade .for Christ Ac~
tion group at Bethel after her experience at Daytona Beach
over spring break.
"I have a new desire to witness on a regular basis,"
she explained. "Hopefully, I'll gain more confidence to share
with my non-Christian friends at home."
Sue concluded with the statement of a Crusade staff
member: "Witnessing never gets easy, but you get more
comfortable at approaching it."
Legality and ethics of Edgren raid scrutinized
In the past s'everal days the Clarion has heard numerous
complaints in regard to certain actions taken by the Bethel
Administration (specifically the Student Affairs Office) during
Spring break. In short, the dorm rooms at Edgren were
searched, and certain items (fireworks) confiscated by the
houseparents. In the process, tobacco and alcohol were found
in several rooms, this being duly noted by the authorities
(though none was confiscated), The complaints have ranged
from accusations concerning breach of privacy to insinuations
that the "raid" was both unauthorized and illegal.
After considering these complaints at length, and consulting
with those responsible for initiating the action, we feel
it is important that we "get the facts straight" about the
whole affair.
It is clear that Miss Starr, Director of Housing, was
well within her legal rights in initiating and authorizing this
action. In addition to consulting Warren Eastland, Bethel's
lawyer, she contacted both the Ramsey County and St. Paul
City Attorneys. She was told that she had the right to
enter the rooms and seize the illegal items (fireworks are
considered contraband). Also, the housing contract that
residents sign allows for these "search and seize" methods.
Hence it is clear that there was nothing illegal about the
Inevitably, the entire discussion boils down to a question
of ethics. Miss Starr, it should be noted, did not make a
hasty' decision. She went through the proper procedural channels,
feeling that the situation was serious enough to warrant
this type of action. She had received complaints that certain

Edgrenites had raided the girls' dorm and rolled firecrackers
under the doors, causing a fire hazzard. This was seen
by Miss Starr as the culmination of a dangerous series
of events, and she felt that, to protect the rights and safety
of others, the "raid" was essential.
Obviously, this plan of action was a drastic measure.
It can legitimately be questioned whether all less drastic
means of handling the problem had been exhausted (or
at least seriously considered). Were those involved given
sufficient warning as to the seriousness of their actions and
the possible repercussions? In connection with this, were the
pranks dangerous enough to even warrant a raid? In short,
was there a less alarming but effective means of handling
the entire situation? In ,terms of the ethical responsibility
of Student Affairs, these questions, to which we at the present
time have no definitive answers, must be thoughtfully considered
by both sides.

Elections cited as popularity ,contest
Dear £ditor,
To me the student elections before vacation were riot
much more than popularity contests. Once again, here at
Bethel as in many other places, it was proved that a female
running for a high office is not too popular. What the
election for preSident/vice president boiled down to was
male vs. female, regardless of platforms, issues, and -qualifications.
About all it proved was that the great majority
of Bethel students feel a female isn't as qualified as a male
for holding a high office such as vice president.
How many students really voted intelligently according
to the issues and platforms of the candidates? How much
long~r are we Christians going to cling to the primitive
idea of male superiority? We as Ohristians should be the
first to support the fact that God has created male and female
equal. True to form it looks like Christians will be
one of the last major groups to really believe and support
equality of the sexes. It does not su.rprise me and neither
did the election results when I thought them over. After
all, the Church was the last to admit that the world was
round and that the earth is not the Genter of the universe.
When will we wake up? Are we alyvays to be last?

Inadequate election, coverage blasted
Dear Sir:
I would like to congratulate the Clarion and the election
committee for their excellent coverage and introduction of
the senatorial candidates in the recent student election.
(I am not referring to the race for Pres. and Vice President.)
Not having access to the respective senators' platforms,
I was able to vote with a confidence and intelligence
based on a thorough knowledge of the issues and the
candidates. .
I don't expect the newspaper to give in-depth coverage
of e1.ch candidate. However, even a brief resume of their
qualifications, personality, and platform would have been
helpful to the student body in enabling us to vote responsibly.
It is a shame that in a school the size of Bethel,
students have no idea who the candidates are for the various
classes until they go to vote, and even then, they have no
chance to obtain any information about them. To many
students the names on the ballots were unfamiliar and they
were forced to vote arbitrarily. The only hint that there
was even a senatorial election going on were displays of
high schOOl style posters and signs demanding our vote,
with no other information on them.
How can we even hope for a representative student government
when we are so uninformed and uninspired? The p0-
tential for working student government is too great to be
treated so negligently.

"Spring has sprung,
The grass has riz,
I wonder where
The crocus is?"
(Anonymous literary genius)
Yes, Spring is upon us! Springtime in Minnesota seems
to be a rare treat, and maybe it is because this is the
first Spring we have enjoyed in three years. Spring has hit
. Bethel with a special force. This is not to say that Spring
fever has not hit Bethel before - it is an annual event.
It is just that this year we (potentially) will have six
weeks of Spring fever, and not just ten days.
For the uninitiated the following are the sure signs of
Spring that are appearing here at Bethel.
Spring is Bethelites overreacting to the first appearance
of the sun and laying out in the sun in 45-degree weather.
Spring is stereo speakers screaming Beach Boys music
throughout the campus, with freshmen acting as if this is
. the first year this had been done.
Spring is Al Glenn three-putting on his office green and
the Clarion staff setting up shop at the Keller Golf Course.
Spring is art students moving from the boiler room
to the creek.
Spiing is Sem students emerging from hibernation to
,search for wives at the College.
Spring is Dairy Queen, A & W, and drive-in theatres.
Spring is two-month engagements.
Spring is bodies - bodies that should and shOUldn't
be allowed in skimpy outfits, appearing in swimsuits, halters,
bikinis, etc.
Spring is eyes - eyes that should and shouldn't be staring,
,looking at those in swimsuits, halters, bikinis, etc.
Spring is students cutting classes only to joyously discover
that the professor had cut the clas~ too.
Spring is couples at Lake Valentine, Sem Hill, and Como
Park to watch the submarine races.
Spring is a sense of sadness due to the knowledge that
finals week will be during the nicest spring weather.
Spring is ridiculous sunglasses, dirty feet, and discarded
Spring is writing last-minute columns about spring.
Spring .is God's renewing love and eternal power , manifesting'itself
in the prismatic and colorful beauty of reborn
Consortium students study in D.C.,
The Christian College Consortium's recently
announced American Studies Program
to begin on September 1976 in
Washington, D.C., is open to Bethel students,
especially those who will be Juniors
or seniors next year. Applications
, are now being received through Monday,
April 12 by Dwight Jessup, Acting Director
of Academic Affairs.
The program is limited to twentyfive
students from consortium colleges
who will spend two months, three
months, or four months in the nation's
capitol, and live in a common r'esidence
within walking distance of most governmental
and Congressional offices. Bethel
students spending four months in' the
prgram will receive approximately four
course credits toward graduation at Bethel;
if three months are spent in
the program, approximately three course
credits; if two months, approximately
two Bethel course credits can be earned.
Students will be enrolled in a general
American Studies course, and involved
in a fifteen to twenty hour per week
internship or practicum experience in
an office or agency located in Washington.
The specific assignments will be
individualized in accordance with the
interests, attitudes, and background of
each student. The internship may involve
assistance in Congressional or other governmental
offices, business and commercial
organizations, political agencies,
church ministries, fine arts programs,
and public interets groups. As part of
his or her program, the student may
be able to make arrangements for independent
study through Bethel, or enroll
for one course in an accredited college
or university in Washington.
Announced costs of the program for
tuition, room and board are $1,800.00
for four months, $1,500.00 for three mon-

Rise in tuition announced
Tuition and some fees will be increased slightly next
year to cover higher college operating costs, according to a
statement released by the College Dean's office, on April
5. Tuition will be $280 per course for the 1976-77 school
year, approximately 7 2/3 percent more than the current
$260 charge. Room rates will also be raised slightly, the first
increase in this category in two years.
The rate of tuition increase is almost exactly in line
with the increase in the national cost of living increase from ·
October '74 to October ' '75. Bethel's increase also compares
favorably to those already apnounced on other campuses.
Bethel tuition rates for a full 9-course load per student

$1 each; graduation fees, $17.50; transcript evaluation, $10;
registration, $50; and student teaching $15. The audit fee
will increase from $50 to $55 per class, and the late registration
fee will go from $10 to $15. Organ and piano rental
(6 hours per week) will be increased slightly to $15
and $10 per term respectively. In addition, a "change in
registration fee" at $15 will be instituted and be charged
to those students changing their registration after the designated
Slight increases have also been announced for campus
housing. Room rental on the Arona campus will be increased
from $350 to $395 for the school year, and housing on the
Arden Hills campus will rent for $495 as compared to $475
this year. Minimum required food coupon purchases per term
will remain at $100 for Arona campus residents and $225
for Arden Hills residents. (Note: The figures on the Housing
Application form with regard to Old Campus prices
are incorrect.)
The increase in student costs are being made to enable
the college to keep pace with rising expenditures and to
provide for minimal increases in faculty-staff salaries. An
increase in the stu<lent financial aid funds is also being made
which will be commensurate with the tuition increase.
Ask Von 'Schueller
The following is the first in a new series of ,

Dear Dr. Von Schueller:
It's that time of year again, when Income Tax forms
must be filled out, and I am presently trying to analyz,e
my entire financial situation. I have come to the conclusion
that I need some advice concerning investments,
financial security, etc. Could you give me some help?
Dear Jack:
Time is running out for submitting your Income Tax,
so I would advise some degree of haste in preparing your
forms. I am happy that you are developing your fiscal
consciousness, and trust that the following suggestions/guidelines
will help you as you become aware of the opportunities
and financial responsibilities that face you in the coming
1) Fiscal security, Jack, in terms of the totality of
your financial portfolio, is somewhat of a nebulous term
conceptually. Too often "security" is axiologically analyzed
merely in terms of bull market' investment situations, with no
consideration for long-range fiscal organization in terms of
capitol resource planning. ' This future-oriented philosophical
framework for today's micro-economic activity, or more
specifically, your personal financial transactions, should not
be underemphasized.
Consequently, Jack, I would strongly suggest that you look
into the possibility of expanding your portfolio, above and
beyond your blue chip investment securities, to include the
solidity and virtual non-inflationality of gold and white
chip opportunities. Indeed, your biennial yield return will
show a marked downslope in terms of recessionary revenue
and your equity revenue will need some capitol readjustment
in terms of market expenditure, but you must remember
that you are paying much capital interest for such shortterm,
risk-oriented securities. Jack, you could reorganize
your whole pecuniary policy today to allow for bear market
eventualities tomorrow!

2. Coincidentally, in this Bicentennial year, some of
the most exciting opportunities open to the private investor
are municipal bonds, and government-sanctioned revenue
sharing programs. In one respect, the time is ripe to "Get
into America" not only patri.otically, but financially. That
is, the municipal pie has definite "slice" opportunities for you
if you are willing and able to shoulder some of the red
tape, time lag, and organizational problems inherent in
public administrative politics. Once again, Jack, a futuristic
outlook is needed here; your immediate cash flow situation
will not noticeably improve, but your disposable and nontaxable
income allowances will decrease to allow for nonrecessionary
tax advantages both n.ow and' in the immediate
future. Granted, you will sacrifice a degree .of big board
flexibility in terms of transfer .of deferred payments, but
y.our total annual T-sheet will show increases in 1) itemized
tax shelters 2) commercial investment credit, both locally,
nationally and even internationally, and 3) c~rporate
holdings (very important in terms of bettering your yield
3) Lastly, Jack, I'd like to warn against getting inv.
olved in international over-the-counter situations. In terms
of long range value, you'll end up spending more than
it's worth. Let me explain. Essentially today's "tight-money"
situation in terms of financial institutions is destined to
change. I predict that corporate production increases, coupled
with employment gains on a national level will loosen up
the total money picture from an institutional standpoint.
Consequently, the P.I.R. (prime interest rate) due to the
casuality of inflationary trends will decrease noticeably,
barring big board investment deficiencies. Hence, your
capitol interest expenditures will be essentially ' "decessionary"
i'n nature. You cannot afford this type of investment
policy, unless you hope to substantially increase your international
portfolio at the expense of home interests. (Eventually
you'll have to sit down, and .make these decisions,
Jack; decisions that reach beyond present day fiscal considerations.
Please keep these thoughts in mind as you plan
for your future.)

Royal nine 2-2 on spring trip,
face Sioux Falls tomorrow
by Bruce Olsen
After cancellation of four games because of bad weather,
the baseball team finally began their season last week;
winning two games and losing two. The spring trip was
considered successful when compared to last year's 0-4
record for the trip.
Although the team did win two games, they failed to
find the winning combination against Northwest Missouri
State for the second year in a row. The Royals dropped
a doubleheader by the scores of 6-3 and 7-6. The Royals
nearly won the second game, but NMS came up with four
runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and went on to
win the game in extra innings.
The Royals then traveled to Simpson College where they
swept both ends of a doubleheader by scores of 7-1 and 8-3.
Craig Oslin and Tim Doten were the winning pitchers for
the Royals.
The four-game trip saw Barry Jones and Curt Oslin
leading the team in hitting with four hits apiece. Catcher
Dave Terlouw and second baseman Kevin Hallstrom added
three hits apiece. Shortstop Jones also led the team in
:Duns scored with five , followed by four runs scored by
The team travels to Sioux Falls College tomorrow for
their first conference games of the season. The doubleheader
will probably feature the Oslin brothers dividing the pitching

Indoor s'eason over
Thincla,ds ta:ke sec'ond,
pole vaulters set record
The Bethel track team, concluded its indoor season by
capturing a very respectable second place finish in the Tri-
State Conference indoor championship meet held in the fieldhouse
of Mankato State University. With powerful defending
champion Westmar again dominating the ~eet with 91 points
the battle all afternoon was for the second place team spot ..
The final scoring showed Bethel with 52 points, followed
by Sioux Falls with 451h, Northwestern with 42, and Yankton
with 371h.
As it has throughout the indoor season, the pole vault
once again proved to be the high point scoring event for
the team. All four Bethel vaulters placed in the event
(a record in Bethel scoring history) with Dave Johnson leading
the way with his 12' 6" jump to second place. Bruce
Peterson, Phil LaGesse, and Paul Rasmussen captured the
third, fourth, and fifth spots, respectively.
In the other events, Bethel had two first and three

Team captain Bruce Peter~on summed up the Royals'
indoor season this way: "As you know, injuries and illness
have really affected our team a lot this year and yet with
all this we still had a respectable indoor season. And now
with everyone getting better physically and with warmer
weather coming, we really look for a great outdoor season
and a fun time."
The next meet will be tomorrow at Ramsey High School.
The Royals will host Superior, Bemidji, and Northwestern

9-0 vote puts Bethel into
MIAC athletic competition
Bethel College was informed April 5 of its unanimous
acceptance into membership of the Minnesota Intercollegiate
Athletic Assocation (MIAC), according to Dr. Dale Stephens,
Chairman of Bethel's athletic committee.
Stephens announced that Bethel would continue to be a
full member of the Tri-State Athletic Conference next year but
will compete in MIAC sports beginning in September 1977
with the exception of football, where current obligations run
until the 1978 season.
Stephens calls Bethel's membership in MIAC a "logical
marriage." Competing in sports with Augsburg, Concordia
of Moorhead, Gustavus, Hamline, Macalester, St.
John's, St. Mary's, St. Olaf, and St. Thomas, Bethel will
face schools of similar size, similar academic standing, and
similar programs of student aid. The level of competition
will be tougher, particularly in football and basketball, but
Bethel feels that the assocation with MIAC will be mutually
Dr. Glader, chairman of the Phy. Ed. Department, and
Athletic Director, had the following comment concerning the
situation: "I'm really pleased with this, and I feel that
the entire department is pleased. It will be quite a challenge,
but I feel that we will make a positive contribution to the
MIAC, and that our entire program will benefit."
