Keeping the Communication Going
Expect some changes. These years provide an important opportunity for growth for your student and for your relationship with the person your student is becoming. A college student may be trying out different looks, identities, attitudes, and aspirations. Show interest in your student's new experiences. Don't be surprised if your student who came here intent on majoring in one area announces in a couple of quarters that he or she is changing majors.
Resist the urge to solve problems for your student. You can ultimately be most helpful by listening to their concerns and guiding them through their own problem-solving process. It's more important for them to develop their ability to cope with problems, than to depend on a parent's wisdom and advice. Create space in conversations for students to discuss their rationale for decisions they have made. Wait to offer advice until they ask for it.
Support their independent decisions without assuming it means they don't want or need you. Keep in touch—email is usually a convenient way to communicate—but expect that students may not write or call as often as you would like. Students usually appreciate little gifts or cards in the old fashioned mail as well. Before your son or daughter comes to college, talk about the means of communication that he or she prefers for keeping in touch with family.
Listen, really listen, and show that you are paying attention by responding to what they are saying with reflection of feelings and open-ended questions.
For example,
- Tell me about your history class.
- Which of your professors do you like most? What is it like to be in his/her class?
- What is it like to be living in the residence hall?
- What activities have you heard about so far that sound interesting to you?
Pay attention to what the student is doing "right" rather than areas where they are not doing well. Expect that grades for freshmen will be lower than they were in high school. Ask your student what he or she is learning in classes rather than emphasizing grades as the sole indicator of a successful freshman year.
Avoid blaming and criticizing. Guide them through the process of reflecting on their problem or concern. Think of yourself as coaching them in an important life and learning experience. "Gee, that must have been disappointing to have failed the chemistry test. Chemistry was one of your favorite classes in high school. It must be much harder in college. What do you think you will do to feel more prepared for the next test? (pause) I wonder if the Tutorial Center could be of help? (pause) Do you see any way we could be of help to you now?" (adapted from: Don't Tell Me What to Do, Just Send Money, Helen E. Johnson and Christine Schelhas-Miller)
Don't dismiss students' concerns by telling them: "these are the best years of your life". These years can be complicated and confusing. Showing empathy for their struggles and times of disappointment can be a powerful support to a student.
Visit your student. Even if your student comes home often, making a trip to see your student in his or her college environment can mean a lot. It's usually fun for students to show their families around their campus. Keep in mind that they will need to get back to their lives—study, friends, activities—so make visits friendly and not lengthy.
Encourage your students to take advantage of services and resources UR has to offer. There are many professionals here whose job it is to help students cope with and learn from the various challenges of being a college student. Keep in mind that we treat students as adults and cannot share information with you about your student without her or his permission.
When students come home for winter break or summer, plan for some adjustments for everyone. Students will be accustomed to a different schedule, a different social life, and more freedom to come and go. Be clear about your expectations, but realize that things won't go back to the way they were before the student left for college. If they speak of getting back "home" to UR, don't take it personally. It probably means they have been successful in creating a life for themselves here that gives them identity, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
Keep a sense of humor and hope – you are both in your own life's developmental process. Be able to apologize if you say something out of frustration that is hurtful to your son or daughter. This can be valuable modeling to your student that taking responsibility for our actions can strengthen relationships and create a deeper connection. Seek out friends who are also parents of college students for support at crucial times.

At a time of year when you probably don't expect to receive an iPhone 5 case within a week of ordering it online, the device itself is hot and ready to ship. BGR reports that, for those living in the Asia/Pacific region – which includes Australia, New Zealand and some parts of Asia – some ship times have dropped to as little as two to four days. That's immensely quicker than the ship times Apple was quoting for the device only a short time ago; last week, the estimated ship time to the Asia/Pacific region was a full week.
Shipment times are improving mainly because supply is finally catching up with demand for the iPhone 5. According to 9to5Mac, that's evident in-store as well as online. Citing figures analyst Gene Munster gave on November 21, they write:
«in-store stock for the iPhone 5 has improved. At the time, the iPhone 5 was available in 92 percent of Apple Stores for Sprint, 82 percent for AT&T, and 72 percent for Verizon.»
What this means is, for those of us who really had our hearts set on getting an iPhone 5 before Christmas, it's a pretty serious likelihood. So now's probably a good time to start looking for a new case, if that's your plan.
But as supply begins to meet demand in some markets, Apple won't be content to rest on its laurels. And you can bet they'll be opening up new markets for their latest, hottest device.
In fact, the company announced this week that they're prepping to launch the iPhone 5 in 50 new countries this month, with an eventual goal of reaching 100 countries by the end of the year.

Publix is bringing a new digital coupon system to a store near you.
Publix is bringing a new digital coupon system to a store near you.
The free, online program will be launched in parts of the Tampa Bay area this week and expanded throughout Central Florida in the coming weeks, according to spokeswoman Shannon Patten.
The service allows customers to choose coupons from a Publix website, publix.couponselectionpage.com, and save them to an account. Shoppers then redeem the paperless coupons at checkout by entering their registered phone number.
"We are always striving to enhance the shopping experience for our customers and want them to be able to take advantage of any cost savings available," Patten said. "By allowing our customers to utilize digital coupons, we're offering them savings that are just a click away."
Publix will continue to accept traditional paper coupons, Patten said. The company expects to have the digital coupon system in place at all stores by the end of March.
Publix began testing digital coupons last year at select stores in the Ocala area and Alabama, and officials have noted the widespread popularity and use of coupons in recent years.
Melissa Williams, a regular Publix shopper and avid coupon user from Lakeland, said the grocer's new digital system will be a welcome complement to paper coupons. Tying online coupons to an account should also reduce costs from printing Internet coupons, Williams said.
"Friends I know who print coupons, they're buying ink cartridges left and right," she said.
Another bonus: You won't forget digital coupons at home, Williams said.
Some 3 billion coupons for packaged consumer goods were redeemed in the U.S. last year, down from 3.5 billion in 2011, according to Inmar, a North Carolina-based retail technology firm.
A report from Inmar said the drop in coupon redemption last year might have been the result of "belt-tightening" measures by marketers. On average, coupons in 2012 had a shorter redemption period, lower face value and higher purchase requirement compared to 2011.

You can count on a detailed take from "the master" — Bill Belichick — on Brandon Weeden next week after what he had to say about Houston's Case Keenum.
Count on a detailed take from "the master" on Brandon Weeden next week.
Here's how Bill Belichick, whose next two opponents are Houston and Cleveland, broke down Texans quarterback Case Keenum:
"He's been a real good decision maker. The defense hasn't had their hands on very many balls. Even the interception at the end of the game last week was on a tipped ball. It was a good throw.
"He's athletic. They run a lot of bootlegs anyway, but he's athletic in the pocket to get away from the rush. He's been disciplined with his decision making. He's getting the ball to his key guys but at the same time not really putting it up for grabs very often."
Keenum, an undrafted rookie, is 0-5 as the Texans' starter, but his passer rating (89.6) is very good for a rookie.
Weeden, who has played roughly as much for the Browns as Keenum has for the Texans this season, has a 66.0 passer rating.
Keenum is 88 of 160 (55 percent) for 1,161 yards, with eight touchdowns and two interceptions. Weeden is 117 of 227 (51.5 percent) for 1,361 yards, with six touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Sweating the details
Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner scoffed at CBS analyst Rich Gannon's recent appraisal that wideout Josh Gordon lacks detail with his route running.
Gannon is a former NFL MVP from his days as a Raiders quarterback.
"A lot of that is that those guys have to say something," Turner said. "There's some routes, there are some things that every guy on our team we have to get better at. I think Josh has improved a great deal as a route runner, and he's going to continue to improve."
The fateful play
The Browns trailed 13-3 but would have kept the ball in the third quarter had an obvious illegal tackle by Pittsburgh's William Gay been enforced.
The official missed the call, Gay recovered a fumble he caused during the illegal hit, and it set up a game-warping touchdown.
Left tackle Joe Thomas thinks the play should have been subject to review.
"There's two officials who sit in the booth," Thomas said. "As big of a play in the game as a turnover is, the NFL has said those plays are so important we need to automatically review them.
"This was a potential 15-yard penalty on a fumble returned for almost a touchdown. That's a humongous play in the game."
Extra points
• As bad as the expansion era has been, the Browns have a winning record in their series with seven different teams. Their advantages are 3-1 over New Orleans, 4-2 over Miami, 2-1 over San Francisco, 2-1 over Atlanta, 5-3 over Oakland, 4-3 over Buffalo and 3-2 over the Jets. They will face the Jets on the road Dec. 22.
• Browns tight end Jordan Cameron steeled himself against last Sunday's painful performance against Pittsburgh. "This is not going to put us in a hole or anything," he said. "We're going to bounce back." Cameron should be in favorable matchups against Jacksonville's rookie safeties.
• Jacksonville head coach Gus Bradley said he prepared for both Weeden and Jason Campbell through Thursday. On Friday, the Browns declared Campbell out with a concussion.
• Gordon's 237-yard outing against Pittsburgh was the second-biggest receiving day of the year in the NFL. "He has all the qualities you look for in a receiver," Bradley said. "He's a really, really strong competitor." Remember training camp, when Gordon was accused of "loafing?" It's 988 yards later.

Cooler Master V6GT Review
As technology progresses, so must the necessary equipment to cool down today's most extreme components. One of the manufacturers bringing the public some of the best performing heatsinks, cases, and other computer components is Cooler Master. Cooler Master has been around for over a decade and continues to follow their company's mission of providing the industry's best thermal solutions by "responding to transformations in the global industry and adapting to its own rapid growth." Today's release is Cooler Master's V6GT. Probably Cooler Master's most hyped CPU cooler this year, the Cooler Master V6GT is a massive, 200W-capable cooler that boasts six heatpipes and two powerful 120mm fans. In this review I will provide a detailed assessment of the cooler's looks, construction, ease of use and most importantly, its performance. Being one of the first people to have the V6GT in their possession certainly is a privilege and I am definitely looking forward to seeing how this heatsink performs.
Closer Look:
The Cooler Master V6GT is packaged in a very attractive dark box with a glossy finish and high quality graphics. The front and rear as well as the left and right sides are identical, respectively. The front and rear feature a dark red background with a black stripe through the middle containing the V6GT logo, the phrase "Muscle Cooling/200W Cooling Solution," and a list of the supported sockets. The V6GT logo is pressed into the cardboard and has what looks like a foil lining in the letters giving the box an even more impressive look. The right and left sides have the Cooler Master logo in the upper left side, a quarter angle photo of the cooler, and the same content that appears in the stripe on the front and the rear.
The top of the box features a closeup of the top of the heatsink with the Cooler Master logo in the upper left corner. The top of the box is held closed with two pieces of Velcro. Opening the top exposes a small window that allows the owner to have a peek at the top of the cooler. The bottom of the box is where all of the content is located and contains an extensive list of features, specifications, and additional dimensions of the cooler. One thing that I happened to notice is that in the large list of specifications, the weight of the cooler is not listed. However, it is available on Cooler Master's product page on their website.
Once opened, the top of the cooler's massive size nearly takes up the entire box. The base of the V6GT is secured in about three inches of soft foam at the bottom and is stabilized at the top by a sheet of fitted plastic. Next to the cooler is a small white box that contains all of the mounting hardware as well as an English user's manual, a user's manual containing the other languages, and a warranty card. The warranty card states that Cooler Master offers a two-year guarantee against defects in material and workmanship.
With the heatsink out and ready to go, my anticipation for its performance is beginning to build and I'm looking forward to taking a closer look at the V6GT. On the next page, I will be exploring the V6GT up close and putting the rest of it in the spotlight.

Bethel Royal Players are open-ing

Students have been awaiting the
announcement since early this
spring when the issue of liberaliz-ing
of women's curfew was passed
in a referendum, three to one.
Amid considerable student vocifer-ation,
deliberation continued at
the recent Student Personnel Com-mittee
meeting where representa-tives
from each of the women's
residences presented their views.
The final decision was reached
after the committee meeting by
members of the Student Services
The decision contained four main
points. First, it was announced that
Falcon and Pascal Manors would
be residences for junior and senior
women only. In these two manors

May 7-11 as production dates, the
director and cast came to the reali-zation
that they had only two and
a half weeks after Easter vacation
to rehearse. However, Lawson has
been quite impressed with the
progress being made by all in-volved.
Of course, there is much more

(Officials noted this week that,
contrary to some student opinion,
Falcon Manor which is occupied
this year by men students is in
"equally as good condition" as the
women's manors.)
It was also decided that Idaho,
Center, and Eagle Manors would
be residences for sophomore wo-men
and retain the current soph-omore
hours. Bodien, Hagstrom,
and Arden Hills dormitories will
also retain the present hours and
upperclassmen who choose to live

observe those hours.
Because of the changes, Bethel

Interestingly enough, four of
the seven cast members are fresh-men.
This, of course, is to the
advantage of the department. Not
only do they have enough willing
actors for a slow year, such as
this, but here are some good pros-pects
for the future.
Each year the question of what
type of drama is relevant to Bethel
is raised. Like most of the Shavian
pieces, "Arms and The Man" is a
subtle social and political satire.
This particular work deals with the
superficiality of the "elite" class
and the absurdity of war. How
many of the members of the audi-ence
will find themselves to laugh
at it is another question.

Discussion and evaluation of mi-nority
group student recruitment
for Bethel's campus will culminate
next week as the Minority Recruit-ment
Committee submits its re-commendation
at the faculty meet-ing.
The Minority Recruitment Com-mittee
held its concluding meeting
last week for final discussion be-fore
submitting their recommend-ations
to the faculty. This com-mittee
is made up of ten members,
faculty and students, who have
met periodically during the year.
The overall trend of faculty and
students toward the recruiting of
and the presence of minority group
students on Bethel's campus has
been favorable, as revealed by a
combination survey taken earlier
this year for the committee and
for the Negro in American Culture
The immediate concern of re-cruiting
minority group students
to Bethel is due primarily to the
fact that the North Central exam-ining
team indicated that Bethel
must create greater diversity in
the student body by the admission
of minority group students.
Subtle discrimination as well as
obvious discrimination could be ov-ercome
by encouraging minority
group students to come to Bethel
and making it possible for them to
attend where cultural and academic
differences could be a barrier. This

Correlation between church, chapel goers?
Campus intellectuahlack Survey studys student 'religiousity'
channels for expression
Bethel's intellectual climate has often been disparaged,
and perhaps rightfully so. Critical discussion of ideas and
vigorous interaction among students and faculty are not exactly
trademarks of the Bethel lifestyle.
Instead we have provincial sects of campus "intellectuals"
who isolate themselves in dorm rooms and other private cor-ners.
Finding solace in the solidarity of their own circles, most
students seem to prefer unchallenged seclusion to live dis-cussion.
Likewise, student-faculty interaction is hardly at a pre-mium.
For some students it doesn't exist, and for many others
it is localized in the offices of two or three professors. Although
only the initiated few know for sure, even the amount of
interaction among faculty members is suspect.
Hopefully, such things are not due to the distinctive mold
of the Christian liberal arts college or the cast of the evangel-ical
mind. At Bethel, an intellectually stilted atmosphere may
be due, at least in part, to an absence of adequate channels
of expression.
What is needed is a faculty-student organization devoted
to maintaining a forum for the discussion of various topics
which are of interest to its members. The format might include
films, panel discussions, or outside speakers.
However, the main emphasis should be on the circulation
of papers prepared by both faculty members and students, and
their presentation and discussion at group sessions. This would
maximise the exchange of ideas on campus, hopefully stimulat-ing
meaningful dialogue on a wide variety of issues.
The reluctance to critically examine ideas takes on the
dimensions of a ball and chain in a college community. Perhaps
the formation of an organization along the lines suggested
here would help sweep the cobwebs from the thinking chambers
and knock the shackles from the intrinsically adventerous
spirit of education.
Intellectual stagnation is not an uncommon malady, but
it is one Bethel can do without.
by Faith Zwemke
The religious attitude or "religiousity" of Bethel
students relating to church and chapel attendance
was the topic of a recent survey taken on campus.
The survey was conducted by seniors in the
methods of social research class which is taught by
James Treece, who will join Bethel's staff full time
next fall. The basic hypothesis that the students set
out to prove was that there is a correlation between
how often a student attends church and how often
he attends chapel.
A random sampling of 158 students provided the
information obtained in the survey. Statistics proved
that the sampling was quite representative of Bethel
insofar as the male and female ratio and class divi-sions
were concerned. Presently 45% of the Bethel
enrollment is male which corresponds to 48% male
of the 158 interviewed. Class divisions were also quite
closely correlated as 28% of Bethel students are
sophomores and 17% are seniors, while 28% and
22% respectively of those interviewed were sopho-mores
and seniors. Other class percentages and
survey percentages also closely corresponded.
Of particular interest to the Clarion was the ques-tion
regarding the effect of the "Chapel Highligths"
column on a student's attendance. Of the 158 sur-veyed,
100 said "Chapel Highlights" did affect their
attendance and of those, 63% attended chapel at
least 3 times per week while 37% attended less
than three times a week. Of those who said "Chapel
Highlights" did not affect their attendance, 60%
went to chapel three or more times every week.
The closeness of the two percentages from each
group would tend to indicate that "Chapel Highlights"
has a positive rather than negative effect on chapel
Another question posed by the researchers dealt
with whether a student attended church and chapel
alone or with friends. Mr. Treece, instructor of the
class, suggested before the survey was taken that
girls probably tended to be more sociable and
would probably attend with friends more often than
alone. Percentages bore him out on this question
as only 18% of the girls attended chapel alone while
33%, or nearly one-third, of the boys attended alone.
The survey suggested that students living on
campus were more "religious" than off-campus stu-dents
as 88% attended chapel at least three times
per week and only 75% of the off-campus students
attended three or more times a week.
Another area covered in the survey involved the
mobility of the student in relation to his attendance.
Basically, the thinking behind this question was that
if a student had a car, would he be more apt to run
up to Mr. Donut or a similar place for a coffee break
around 10:30 or would he go to chapel? Also in re-gard
to church attendance, would students go to
church more often if they could drive themselves or
does bouncing on the bus produce more frequent
attendance to a.m. worship services?
Strangely enough, and unexpected by the re-searchers,
85% of those who do not own cars attend
church more than three times a month while only
77% of those owning cars attend as often. Indicated
by the survey, Mr. Donut or someplace, must pro-vide
more "food" than chapel as nearly 47% of
students owning cars take themselves elswhere dur-ing
chapel while 68.3% of those who do not own
vehicles go to chapel at least three times each week.
In regard to the question of whether or not bus
service only to church would produce more attend-ance,
the survey suggested that a bus running only
to church probably wouldn't be much fuller than
those going both to church and Sunday school.. Of
the 158 questioned, 109 said a bus going only to
church had no effect on their attendance.
Conductors of the survey felt that they had a
good representation of Bethel in their survey. In
view of this and other favorable factors, they were
convinced that the questionnaire significantly proved
that students who attend chapel often attend church
often, and those who attend chapel seldom also at-tend
church infrequently.
Also, high percentages recorded in relation to
attenders as to non-attenders appeared to suggest
that Bethel students are quite "religious" in these
two areas of attendance.
Reader sees SUI as 'realistic approach to world'
Secieteor twee& stew dolma Aleuteeu To the editor:
I wish to thank your paper for its
coverage of the Students for Urban
Involvement project which is in
the planning stage at Bethel. I hope
that many students have become
interested in this venture because
of your coverage.
I would also like to take this
opportunity to describe to your
readers my experiences in a situa-tion
similiar to the one which is
proposed by SUI. Since March 10th
I have been involved in a project
which is known as Crisis Colony at
Augsburg College. In this program
15 students and 2 supervisors live
in a burned out funeral home on
Plymouth Avenue in North Minn-eapolis.
We came with the outlook that
the community is the teacher and
we have really received quite an
education. We are receiving 15
quarter credits for our work. One
third of the credit comes from
actually living on the Northside
and the Colony experience. Anoth-er
third comes from reading books
and having speakers from the corn-munity
come in and share with us
on various topics such as education,
politics, religion, police relations,
and minority culture. The last third
of the credit is given for an inde-pendent
study, which allows each
of us to dig deep into some aspect
of the Northside. My particular
topic is related to the churches and
what they are and should be doing
on the Northside.
This quarter has meant a great
deal to me. One important aspect,
as far as I am concerned, of the
Crisis Colony comes from the fact
that you can't be phony on the
Northside. You don't fool anybody.
They can tell when you're faking it.
Because of this I have come to
realize who I am and what I am.
It has also helped me to be able
to react and relate to people as
human beings, not as things or
merely animals as I have in the

To the editor:
I was somewhat perplexed by
last week's editorial, "Publications
plagued with sagging interests."
Such statements as "Student publi-cations
at Bethel are in a sad
state, and getting into a sadder
one" simply do not square with
the facts.
For example, the Clarion has
just achieved its second successive
All-American rating, and has never
fallen below a First-Class rating
during the past decade. Such an
envious record can scarcely be-long
to a publication in danger of
going "under for that third and
final time."
Coeval also seems to contradict
the gloomy generalization of last
week's editorial. Despite the limi-tations
of the minuscule budget,
Coeval, in contrast to previous
years, has published two issues
and is working on a third. This rep-resents
a definite improvement ov-
Midwest have been very interested
in the outcome of this project and
have looked upon it as a educa-tional
structure of the future.
This brings us to the point where
we at Bethel can participate in
bringing the future into reality
today. I think the SUI proposal is
one realistic approach to enable
students to find out about the
world (No theological implications
intended but they can be added if
you wish) and a chance to be where
the action is.
The choice is yours.

er the single year-end edition of
previous years, a practice which al-lows
little opportunity for the dis-cussion
of its contents.
Again, the comment that "Inter-est
(and especially active interest)
in publications at Bethel seems to
be falling fast" seems unfounded.
Here specific mention is made of
the Clarion in support of this
contention, yet I note the current
size of the Clarion staff (eleven)
is larger than at any other time
during the previous three or four
On the other side of the ledger,
no one can deny that Spire is hav-ing
its problems, and that the
other publications must always re-cognize
the need for improvement.
But let's pin down our generaliza-tion
with facts and focus specifi-cally
on our problems, rather than
discredit the whole set up with
vague and unfounded statements.
Lynn Bergfalk
To the editor:
It's been quite a year! For those
who have been caught in the transi-tion
between the campuses it has
been unreal.
The first chaotic weeks of school
saw 60 girls and about 40 guys liv-ing
in a state of moderate disar-ray.
The girls, living half a mile
away in the fair grounds, and the
guys, crammed three in a room
in Edgren, were off to a challeng-ing
(if not, trying) start. For the
guys things inproved and they
moved into the seminary apart-ments.
But the girls, as the weeks
dragged 'by, were still in the cramp-ed,
cold, heatless, fairground apart-ments.
Finally, in late November, after
no less than three postponements,
approximately one hundred stu-dents
moved into the new dorm.
Of course, it was another month
before we got our desks and dres-sers,
but the "historic" initial step
into the future had been taken for
Bethel College.
One might draw parallels be-tween
this move and Pres. John-son's
decision to send troops into
Vietnam. "The Royal Order of the
Advanced Guard," as we have been
called by Pres. Lundquist, is a truly
motly crew of pioneers who have
succumbed to the challenge of the
call of the wild and taken, as it
were, one step beyond.
Seriously, though, the move to
the new dorm has been great. The
casualties have been few and those
who have hung-on have grown to
enjoy this little enclave. We have
few restrictions and there is much
potential for interaction on all lev-els:
intellectual, spiritual, recrea-tional,
and "military". Of course,
we must not fail to mention the
possibility for romantic encount-ers
(or skirmishes).
On the whole, things are looking
real good for the future. Hopes of a
"commons" for next year lends ad-ded
appeal to life in the Arden
Hills Residence. Responsible in-volvement
between students and
administration will serve to re-move
present inconveniences and
provide the basis for an exciting
and rewarding future.

A Bethel education department
endeaver that is quite unique in
Minnesota is its follow-up program
of first year teachers.
For several years, the education
department staff has traveled with-in
about a 50-mile radius of the
college to visit and observe teach-ers
in the classroom during the
second semester of their first year
of teaching. While in a school, they
also talk to teachers and principals
to find out weaknesses and advan-tages
of Bethel's education pro-gram.
This year Dr. Junet Runbeck,
Elliott Donnels and Richard Harris
observed more than 20 Bethel
graduates to see how they are ad-justing
to the experience of
Both the principals and the new
teachers themselves were given
questionnaires to evaluate the
teaching preparedness of the for-mer
Bethelites. Some of the areas
evaluated were planning and or-ganizing,
classroom management,
control in the classroom, and en-thusiasm
for teaching.
Dr. Runbeck said the principals
rated almost all of Bethel's first-year
teachers very highly. No one
felt any particular area of prepara-tion
was inadequate and the ma-jority
rated enthusiasm as more
than adequate, she added.
One suggestion often made by
the young teachers was that of
offering a course at Bethel dealing
with the exceptional child, includ-ing
both gifted and handicapped.
Others suggested a course which
would provide information about
the culturally disadvantaged child.
Several changes have been in-stituted
in Bethel's program in
recent years as a result of the
follow-up suggestions, Dr. Runbeck
said. One long-term goal as a re-sult
of the follow-up would be a
kindergarten program.
Most of the new teachers visited
this year were already busy in
some program to contribute to the
teaching profession. These included
such activities as summer teach-ing,
the executive council and cur-riculum
Dr. Runbeck said the education
department is planning to follow-up
those who have taught three to
five years. This will help Bethel
on its long-range planning.

In presenting three out of five
chapels last week, campus leaders
seemed to be encouraging and de-manding
greater involvement on
the part of students, not only in
campus affairs but also in society
through the church.
The chapels could be looked up-on
as a culmination of the work
done and interest exhibited in
these areas during this past aca-demic
year. Monday a panel of
three students including Greg Tay-lor,
former Student Association
President, Dave Shupe, present
leader of the student body, and
Marge Whaley, Clarion editor, con-fronted
members of the administra-tion
represented by President Carl
Lundquist, Dean Virgil Olson, Dean
of Students Webster Muck, and
Harvey DeVries, Vice President of

There was considerable disap-pointment
noted among students
as administrators proceeded to give
lengthy and involved answers while
questions continued to come in
from the floor. Among the ques-tions
for which there was no time,

were probably most numerous. Oth-ers

BILL ENGLUND, Bethel's senior catcher comes up out of his crouch to take his turn at bat.
Diamondmen go down swinging
by Wally Borner
One gets tired of rationalizing all the time about the
stiff competition our athletic teams are put up against. It
seems that most of the teams play someone that will either
clobber them or someone that would make a poor showing
against a neighborhood's kids team. So Bethel athletics is in
the precarious position of not having anyone within the area
of our own ability.
And furthermore, it is just as much rationalizing to put all
the blame on the administration. After all, if the conference
doesn't give enough money, the administration can't give the
department money which isn't there.
So maybe, just for a change of pace, we should look at
it a different way. The administration has been hit often enough.
We know that they are partly to blame for sub-par teams. It
is also the fault of the athletes themselves. All too often, it
appears that they aren't giving all they can. They take on a
defeatest attitude and wouldn't be able to start a rally if they
were going downhill and the opposition had to go up hill. The
players too often look at downhill in the negative sense.
Maybe the coaches just aren't pulling all the ability out
of the athletes that they are capable of. Maybe some of the
players don't have enough respect for their coaches. Maybe
the coaches aren't demanding enough.
Even if we lack lots of great athletes, that is no reason
for a mediocre one to take no part of leadership. Maybe we
have plenty of guys who can say a lot but none who can say
the right thing.
Maybe it's the fault of the students who really don't
support the teams. Yes, we're in college now and it's a lot
different from high school, but if we are going to complain
about the teams, let's make sure we've given them our support
before saying that they don't warrant it.
The fault belongs to all of us so let's stop blaming each
other and think positive.
Why the Twins have been winning.
Why Al Capp doesn't publish a book on American democracy.
Why vanilla nutrament tastes better than chocolate.
Why the Clarion has been controversial this semester.
Why the COEVAL was ever controversial.
Why pro rassling has to be so insipid, asinine, and inane.
Why people don't realize that Don Riley is right about little
league baseball.
Why students expect our administration to build athletic teams
but not Christianity.
The baseball squad took it on
the chin again in last week's action.
On Wednesday, there was no con-test
as Luther handily trounced
the Royals in a twin bill. Saturday
was another twin bill loss as Ham-line
edged out the home team in
low-hitting contests.
Luther proved to be the excel-lent
team that they have the reputa-tion
for. They won the games by
9-0 and 7-0 scores. In the first
game, Billy Painter was the only
one that did anything offensively
as he stroked the only hit off three
Luther hurlers.
In the second game, Bethel
threatened in the last two innings,
but could not score. In the sixth
inning, Dennis Zaderaka beat out
an infield hit but was thrown out
a couple pitches later 'trying to
steal. Bill Painter followed that
with a single which ran his hitting
streak to seven games. The next
batter walked but the two base
runners were stranded. In the
seventh inning, the first two men
were walked and then stranded as

For the last five years, the Bethel track team
has always been strong in the hurdles and this
season is no exception as two hurdlers, Fritz Fredeen
and Andy Lehman, have been upholding this tra-dition
very well indeed.
"We've always been able to count on points
in the hurdles," stated coach Glader, and it has been
this way for the last several seasons with such hurdlers
as Greg Peterson and Bill Malyon who have been
strong in this field.
It is unfortunate for the track team, however,
that these two will not be here next year as Fritz is
transfering to the University and Andy will be gra-duating.
"I hope this will not be the end of an era,"
stated coach Glader as there is presently no one to
participate in the hurdles next year and the team
will have to count on new arrivals and have to start
from scratch. All in all, this is indicative of the ability
of these two Bethel athletes.
So far this year, Fritz has been continuing to do
very well, and last year, as a freshman, was con-sidered
the most improved. His teammates say that
he is very consistent and a smooth runner.
Besides participating in the hurdles, Fritz also
runs in the mile relay, the four-forty relay and the
long jump. This is due partially to a lack of personnel,
but to a greater extent to his over-all ability. Much
larger schools use certain athletes in several events
when they have plenty to go around for this reason.
In the one-twenty high hurdles, he has tied his
own record of fifteen point four seconds this year,
which was originally set in 1967 by Craig Peterson.
Also, as a member of the mile-relay squad, he helped
the next three batters went down
in order.
Luther had one big inning in
each game. In the first game, they
scored seven runs in the third in-ning
on five singles, an error, and
a home run. The big frame in the
night cap was the fifth when they
tallied four times on a walk and
four base hits.
The games at Hamline were not
so one-sided but more frustrating.
Hamline took the first on four
runs and five hits to Bethel's two
runs and four hits.
The Pipers struck early by get-ting
three runs in the first which
proved adequate. With one runner
on base and two out, Hamline drew
a walk, picked up a single, reached
base on an error, and added four
stolen bases to their performance.
The Royals scored in the sixth
inning. Gary Clark started things
off with a home run. Bob Brodin
walked, advanced on Dean Eric-son's
single and scored on an er-ror.
In the night cap, Hamline chalk-ed
up two run innings in the first,
second, and fifth frames. Bethel's
only tallies came in the fifth as
they managed two runs again. Dave
Schmidt picked up his first hit of
the season and scored on a single
and error which left Dean Ericson
on second. After Brodin walked,
Gary Clark laced a single, driving
in Ericson.
Each team had seven hits. Gary
Clark had two hits and Delich and
Brodin picked up a hit each. Dick
Hunter stroked a double to mark
his return to the line after being
out several games due to an in-jury.
Andy and Fritz won't be back
Departing hurdlers may leaveigap initrack team
set a new record in this event last Saturday. Besides
this, Fritz also won both the high and the inter-mediate
hurdles at the same meet.
Andy Lehman has also been a consistent and
valuable performer for Bethel in the hurdles along
with the triple-jump. Because of illness he was not
able to participate last season, therefore this season
will be his fourth and final one.
As a freshman, Andy set several records for Col-lege
Freshman in the short indoor sprints and in the
four-forty low hurdles. He has always been a hard
and dedicated worker and was chosen co-captain by
his teammates last year.
Both Andy and Fritz have done well in upholding
the strength in the hurdles in Bethel track, and coach
Glader stated that "from an over-all team standpoint
they've always been an asset in terms of hard work and

Motion with Head
a short motion sequence with head on
I'm not happy with the way Knewt "leans" when shifting weight. This is one of the issues I set out to solve when Knewt was started. The change in 2.0 to add more weight shifting ability, has re-introduced this leaning. It's not so bad really, but I would prefer that the head was kept perfectly level. I'm going to have to look into this more closely.

KKR Strikes Largest-Ever Private Equity Deal in Vietnam
Shortly after establishing its presence in Southeast Asia by opening a Singapore office, KKR & Co. has just made the largest investment in Vietnam by a private-equity firm on record.
The WSJ reported Tuesday that KKR agreed to invest an added $200 million in sauce maker Masan Consumer Corp., after initially investing $159 million in April 2011. The investment will give KKR two board seats.
The investment will be made from KKR's first pan-Asian fund, just as the firm is about to complete raising a $6 billion second regional fund said people familiar with the matter.

WakeUp Light Design
So we borrowed a Wake-Up Light from a friend. I was quite skeptical at the beginning but it did make waking up a lot easier and partially alleviated my morning grumpiness. As any upstanding DIYer will do, we decided to build our own:
Here's what the light needed to be:
- Low Cost (not counting the hours). Should be cheaper to build than buying a new one.
- Should work with any table lamp.
- A simple but effective interface.
- Should also work as a mood light.
- Easy controls (so we made an app).
- Open design. I want to make it easy for anyone to replicate my design if they want to.
Code and Microcontroller
I built the project around a Stellaris Launchpad (an ARM Cortex M4F microcontroller board) which turned out to be surprisingly easy to use. TI has now re-branded the Stellaris family to Tiva and made some incremental changes. The equivalent board is the Tiva Launchpad which can easily run my code with minor adjustments.
All my code for the microcontroller can be downloaded from GitHub. The README.md on that page describes the source code from a top level and explains the commands and pin usage of the system. If you're lazy, the binary is available here and can be flashed using TI's LM flash programmer software.
I opted to make the box so that you can plug in any table lamp of your choice. This way, it's a much simpler box to build and move around, I can directly plug in any table lamp I fancy.After some research, I decided to use the AC dimmer circuit in this awesome instructable. I built the same circuit but used an H11AA1 instead so that I did not need a rectifier chip. Here's the finished board and schematics for my dimmer board:
I later added a fuse as well which is not depicted above.
The operating principle of the circuit is quite simple and described quite well here and here.
Warning: Be very cautious when working with AC, electric shocks can kill.
This circuit cannot work with capacitive loads. This means no LED lights and no CFLs either. Good old Incandescent and Halogen lamps work. LED lights that claim to be dimmable may work but I haven't tested one. I use a 42Watt Halogen lamp. I hate wasting energy, so I may make a completely different design in the future.
After experimenting with a buttons + LCD interface, I decided the whole system was just too clunky and hard to build. I decided to make the system simpler and added bluetooth into the mix with an HC-05 bluetooth transciever with a UART interface. Now I could just control the light using my computer!
My wife Dhara came up with the idea to make an app for that. And so she did:
Dhara's Android app can set the brightness of the light to set the mood. It can also set alarms along with days of the week when the alarm should go off. This is a feature I found missing in the light we borrowed. The app also automatically synchronizes the time of your clock with the light.
If you want the app and its source code, just leave a comment or contact me. As the app is bound to the MAC address of my HC-05 module, we will need to compile a new one for you.
All the commands to the light are in human readable ASCII format. For example, the command for setting time to Sunday, 4:15PM is "T0:16:15:00". This is computationally inefficient but made it a lot easier for me to debug the light. I can also use the Bluetooth SPP Pro app to debug and control the light. All the commands are documented in the README.md on the project's GitHub repository.
In addition, there is a single push button on the box to snooze and switch off the alarm. The button can also be used to cycle between 5 brightness levels.
What's a wake up light without sound? Um, a work in progress?
So far, I've built an amplifier using an LM4876 chip and built some code to play sounds using PWM. The Stellaris does not have a DAC of its own and PWM can only go so far in sound quality. The sound is far too tinny, so we are just using a phone for the alarm sound for now. In the future, I will add a DAC chip for better sound quality and an SD-Card to store longer sound tracks.
The Top Board
The top board hosts the LM4876 audio amplifier. The filter and feedback circuit is same as what is recommended on the datasheet. I chose this chip because the recommended circuit around the chip is quite simple. In addition it is also power-efficient (it's designed for mobile phones) and has a signal to completely switch off the output. The IC is not available in DIP package so I flipped it, glued it to the board, and then soldered wires to its tiny legs. The amplifier outputs to a speaker hacked out of a friend's dead laptop. Those speakers are the right impedance and quite efficient!
Apart from the amplifier circuit, the board serves as a general routing board. I used IC-feet as sockets for the Launchpad's pins and routed the pins to the HC-05 module to the UART pins of the Launchpad and the button to the 3.3V and GPIO pins of the launchpad.
The Whole Thing
The launchpad is sandwiched between the two boards I made. The bottom board for controlling the lights has an AC socket attached to its AC output, so I can plug in any lamp to it. There is a 5V wall adapter connected to the AC input which is also going into the bottom (dimmer) board.
Here's a video explaining this project.
What do you think of this project? Would you like to make your own? Want some help? Leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Norma,My suggestion was to reduce the amount of oil "by" 0.50%, not "to" 0.50%. So, the amount of oil should be 2% instead of 2.5%. If the reduction works but still not quite good enough, then you can consider a further reduction later. For now, for the small reduction in the amount of oil, I do not see any need to change the hydration value. That is very good news on the Gangi pizza sauce. Will that pizza sauce be what Mack's has been using, or will it be a different product? I am also anxious to see that Nutrition Facts. Peter
I will post when I get the Nutrition Facts for the Gangi Supreme Heavy Duty pizza sauce.
Norma,Once you get the nutrition information on the Gangi pizza sauce, you may have to get in touch with Escalon to see which of their products might be counterparts to the Gangi pizza sauce. I mention this because Escalon does not publish that information on its website. However, they will provide it to professionals upon request. This is not an issue with Stanislaus since it publishes the nutrition information on its tomato products at its website. Looking at the Stanislaus products, at http://www.stanislausfoodproducts.com/products/nutrition-facts, I see four "heavy" pizza sauces. I also looked at the Escalon/Stanislaus cross-reference chart at http://www.pizzamaking.com/escalon_stanislaus.html and see some possible Escalon products that might qualify as counterparts to the Gangi pizza sauce and to the applicable Stanislaus products. However, since the cross-reference chart is fairly old, we may find that the product lineups of the Escalon and Stanislaus have changed. Peter
Norma,Before contacting Escalon, can you tell me if the spec sheet you received says "Gangi Supreme Heavy Sauce" (with basil)?Peter
Norma,The spec sheet for the Gangi Extra Heavy sauce indicates the the sauce has an NTSS of 15.5%. NTSS stands for Natural Tomato Soluble Solids. An NTSS of 15.5% has a specific gravity of about 1.07 or 1.08. That means that a cup of the sauce will weigh 7% or 8% more than a cup of water. In talking with Escalon and Stanislaus, I would give them the specs that you have or else give them the NTSS and specific gravity numbers. From a cursory review, I think it is possible that the tomatoes that Gangi is using are not quite as sweet as the Escalon and Stanislaus tomato products. I also believe that the Gangi Extra Heavy sauce is technically a puree. Both Escalon and Stanislaus should be able to tell from the NTSS and specific gravity numbers which of their products come most closely to the Gangi Extra Heavy sauce. What is not clear from the spec sheet that you posted is whether the Nutrition Facts are specific to the Gangi Extra Heavy sauce. At this point I would say no but I am not an expert on tomatoes. Maybe you can get further clarification on this and try to get the Nutrition Facts that are just for the Gangi Extra Heavy sauce. That will allow us to do a more complete job of finding comparable products from Escalon and Stanislaus. Of course, you may never have a need to find equivalent products if you have a steady supply of the Gangi product at a good price. Peter
Don't know if this will help but...in Norma's pic, just below the nutritional info box there is a list of codes. 5TS3: Super HeavyWould that code be on the Gangi can?
What do you consider a puree? I consider a puree something like the latest Classico product I tried on my last two attempts.
Norma,There are several classes of purees but they are all defined by Standards of Identity. You can read more on this topic at http://www.pcoastp.com/_files/_files/TP%20R%20003%20Puree%20Oct2009.pdf.Peter
Thanks for posting there are several classes of purees. I didnt know before they all are defined by Standards of Identity. Thanks also for the link. It looks like the Gangi Extra Heavy Sauce is a Extra Heavy Puree since the number is at 15.5% NTSS, but it lists that 15.0% NTSS is the end of classifying it as a Extra Heavy Puree. I am sorry to be asking so many questions, but is 15.0% a cut-off point for classifying it as a Extra Heavy Puree?
Norma,As the Pacific Coast document indicates, a purée that has an NTSS value between 15% and 24% is an Extra Heavy Purée. So, the Gangi Extra Heavy Sauce, at 15.5% NTSS, is an Extra Heavy Purée. Once you get above 24% NTSS, you are perhaps talking about tomato paste.Peter

NetworkManager provides automatic network detection and configuration for the system. Once enabled, the NetworkManager service also monitors the network interfaces, and may automatically switch to the best connection at any given time. Applications that include NetworkManager support may automatically switch between on-line and off-line modes when the system gains or loses network connectivity.
These facilities are most useful for modern laptops, where the user may move between wireless networks, and plug in to a variety of wired networks, but NetworkManager also provides features that are relevant to workstations. Current versions of NetworkManager support modem connections, and certain types of VPN. Development of these features is ongoing.
NetworkManager requires Fedora to have drivers for the wired and wireless interfaces on the computer. Many manufacturers of modems and wireless devices provide limited support for Linux. You may need to install additional drivers or firmware on your Fedora system in order to activate these interfaces.
- Configuration using keyfile and ifcfg-rh formats
- Good IPv4 support
- Moderate IPv6 support
- Device bonding
- D-Bus interface
- CLI frontends
- GUI frontends
Broken features
- Support for unmanaged devices (see known problems)
- Integration with other tools
Possible future features
- Ethernet Bridging
- Keeping wired devices allways on (for IPv6 link-local networking)
- Support for IPv6 automatic reconfiguration (changing default routes, etc...)
- Event-based IPv6 handling without timers and duplicate processing (would clean logs and make code more robust)
- Exporting list of DNS servers and handing it over to recursive DNS servers like unbound and dnsmasq (especially necessary for proper VPN access)
- Local caching nameserver with DNSSEC and forwarders
Note: Some of the features described here may have been already available and working at some point of time.
More resources:
Known problems
- NetworkManager gets automaticaly respawned, no sane way to temporarily disable it
- List of unmanaged devices (by MAC) is sometimes ignored (hard to reproduce)
- Manually assigned IPv4 addresses get lost (in tens of seconds)
- dhclient left over upon exist and spawned duplicately (also dhclient's check failes when permision denied when writing pidfile)
- Serious IPv6 problems (some of fixed in git, targeting 0.9.6), affecting also IPv4 networking and link
- IPv6 code is still full of workarounds
- Malfunctioning connection 'assume' functionality for IPv4 (removed for IPv6)
- Serious doubts about working integration with network-scripts
- Doesn't work well with dnssec-trigger/unbound/dnsmasq (DNS is not conveyed)
- Missing CLI tools that would be as simple as manual (iproute/wpa_supplicant/wvdial/...) configuration
- Other things work only when in some specific state
- Too many open bug reports, many probably obsolete
Note: some of the problems are deep in the core of NetworkManager. It can be expected that more problems will emerge over time or while fixing the currently known ones.
- NetworkManager builds against specific distributions, not tools or dependencies (--with-distro)

Hamlet Font Family by Canada Type
About: Based on a specimen of an obscure old face called Kitterland, Hamlet is one of those curiosities hardly ever noticed in the world of modern fonts, the kind that infuses a variety of historic Blackletter and calligraphy traits in an otherwise Roman alphabet. We made the Handtooled and Headstone styles because we thought these friendly forms were just crying out for such treatments. The Handtooled version turned out quite lovely, if we may say so ourselves, perhaps even better than the main font.

Napoli right-back Christian Maggio believes that his team have a good chance of catching up with Juventus in the Serie A title race this season.
The Partenopei currently sit third in the table, five points behind the table-topping Bianconeri, and the Italy defender thinks if his side have a shot of winning the Scudetto.
"[Coach Walter] Mazzarri told us that we must always think match by match, thinking only of ourselves," the 30-year-old told reporters.
"We are still far away from Juve, but we were pleased that they drew, because it enabled us to close the gap. In the first half of the season, we did not start well, but now we know that we need to do.
Napoli forward Goran Pandev recently claimed that only top spot would be good enough for his side, and Maggio has voiced his assent with his team-mate.
"Pandev says he would not sign for a second place? I agree. Regarding it's coming from someone like him who has won a lot in his career, it is always encouraging," he added.
Finally, the former Sampdoria man played down comments from Juve's Claudio Marchisio, who revealed he was always extra-motivated when facing the San Paolo outfit.
"Marchisio is a great guy, he didn't want to offend anyone. In inverted commas, I also hate Juve, but it is a sporting hatred," he concluded.

Beehives are the newest green initiative for Linden commercial printer Spectra Media, which this afternoon plans to "harvest" honey from two hives that share space on the company's roof with solar panels, a wind turbine and a garden.
Michael Kaufman, president, said last spring the company partnered with Bee Bold Apiaries, of Glen Ridge, which brought two hives and about 100,000 bees to the company's roof. Kaufman estimated that each hive now has about 30 pounds of honey
He said the beehive collapse crisis prompted him to get involved, calling it "an enormous agricultural issue in this country." And the company's 25 workers enjoy the project.
Every two weeks when Bee Bold staffers come to monitor the hives, several Spectra Media employees join them on the roof and observe the bees at work.
"It has been a really fascinating experience — and nobody's gotten stung yet," Kaufman said.
The solar panels on the roof save the company about $500 a month on electric bills, he said, and the rooftop garden has emerged as a good place for small meetings with members of the staff.
"Our goal is to be a very green printer," Kaufman said, and the company has attracted new clients who like the company's efforts toward a sustainable business model.
Eric Hanan, co-founder of Bee Bold, said his company is 1 year old this month, and now maintains 30 hives at various locations in New Jersey, including the Hyatt Regency hotel, in Jersey City. He said Linden turned out to be a good place for honeybees.
"It is an urban environment, and they did surprising well," Hanan said "The bees forage more than two square miles in every direction. There is plenty to forage, and the bees figure it out," starting with dandelions and clover in the spring.
