Hours of preparation, varied talents
underline staging of first Bethel opera
(Clarion Photo)
Urns for frankincense and myrhh, stand among a jumbled dis-array
of props in a corner of the fieldhouse, awaiting next week-end's
performance of "Amahl and the Night Visitors."
by Dave Greener
Monday night. The volleyballs
carom off the Field House walls,
floor, and seating area. Leaping
boys strive to score against their
intramural opponents. And in a
corner, sometimes visited by mis-guided
volleyballs, an opera is be-ing
"Dr. Berglund and I have been
working for years to get this," com-ments
Dale Rott about Bethel's first
opera. Their plans call for "Amahl
and the Night Visitors," written
and composed by Gian-Carlo Meno-tti,
to be a major highlight of this
year's Festival of Christmas, De-cember
13-15. But for now their
concerns are primarily focused on
the elements of its production.
These elements entail many
things. By definition, an opera is
comprised of both music and dra-ma.
It usually also includes art and
architecture as well as the dance.
The combined efforts of Robert
Berglund and his College Choir,
Dale Rott and his drama assist-ants,
Eugene Johnson's matrix (art)
students, and others are all em-ployed
to produce Bethel's opera.
An evening's rehearsal for
"Amahl" may begin about 9:30
p.m. As the phy ed people leave,
the stage set is assembled by mem-
Registration for second semester
is slated for next week, Monday
through Friday, according to the
Registrar's office.
"This is the earliest we've had
it," said Dr. Paul Finlay, college
registrar, noting that in previous
years registration had been sched-uled
after Christmas vacation.
"Ideally," he added, "it should be
this time (before vacation) to al-low
for adjustments in scheduling
or room assignments, and prepara-tion
of IBM cards, book orders, and
class lists."
Finlay said that early registra-tion
will be particularly helpful
"if we do run into any major
scheduling conflicts," since there
will be ample time to make needed
bers of the College Choir. (Rott ex-plains
that choir members are
pressed into this service because
of the size of the production. . .
"It's too big of a thing." The dra-ma
personnel work more on the
lights and the costumes.)
The rehearsal begins. The choir
sings and acts the opening chorus.
At times Berglund stops them for
music comments. Rott makes histri-onic
suggestions. During the prac-tice,
the choir demonstrates pa-tience
and self-discipline.
The rehearsal continues until 11
p.m. Then, the majority of the
choir is free to leave. But the prin-ciple
singer-actors remain.
`Lift your chin up! Keep the chin
up!" Again the singing and acting
is punctuated by Rott's comments.
Again Berglund makes suggestions.
"Project!" Practice is finally com-pleted
at 12 p.m.
The rehearsal by itself is only
one aspect of the production. An-other
important one is the making
and locating of props.
"Mr. Rott wants the props and
the style to be authentic and very
real," says Faye Kibitzki of the
Costume Committee.
Amahl is a young crippled shep-herd
boy who lives with his mother
in Judea at the time of the birth
changes. He recalled a past instance
where a conflict between required
courses could not be resolved with-out
severe hardship to the students
affected because of the January
registration date.
Registration will be in the Presi-dent's
Dining Room, and will not
be marked by any new innovations.
Procedures have been continually
streamlined throughout the past
few years, however, as the Regis-trar's
office has been "getting the
kinks worked out," in Dr. Finlay's
words. Registration material and
details were distributed in student
PO's yesterday.
One change has been made. The
registration fee, applicable towards
of Christ. He is visited by the
wise men on their journey to Beth-lehem.
For authenticity and realism,
sheepskin was purchased for the
shepherds' costumes. They will be
put together much in the same way
they possibly were in Christ's time.
Luxuriant costumes for the wise
'men have been rented in an effort
to make their garments rich and
Urns for the frankincense and
myrhh have been put together by
the Art Department — they were
constructed with braided rope.

"Cancel My Reservation, St. Pet-er���
I decided to Stay," was the title
chosen by Thursday's convocation
speaker, Dr. Leroy Augenstein,
professor and chairman of the de-partment
of biophysics at Michigan
State University.
A noted lecturer and educator
with combined interests, as well
as active involvement, in areas of
science, ethics and education. Dr.
the new semester's financial costs,
has been increased from $25 to $50.
Graydon Held, comptroller, said
the change was made to minimize
the problem of students cancelling
out of school after registration.
The larger fee would discourage
students from changing their minds
after registration, helping the col-lege
avoid a reduction in enroll-ment
after programming for a cer-tain
number of students.
Mr. Held emphasized that special
_arrangements will be made for all
students who find that the larger
fee presents a financial hardship
for them at this time. He said that
such students should see him, and
he will make arrangements with
the cashier.
Augenstein makes more than 200
lectures and television appearances
In his address here, Dr. Augen-stein
confronted his audience at
the college and seminary with
forthright, provocative questions
and discussion of moral implica-tions
of recent developments of
science. Then, he was a guest at
an informal luncheon meeting open
to science majors.
Besides theoretical problems con-cerned
with organ transplants, eu-thanasia
and "a new definition of
death," Dr. Augenstein is concern-ed
with the ways human beings
are increasingly dabbling with
God's way of life.
A characteristic problem is posed
by Dr. Augenstein in a section from
an article, "Shall We Play God?,"
which he authored in the October
18, 1967, issue of The Christian
Century. He states: "If we can give
people an almost indefinite stay
of death, should they not only have
the right to choose to live but also
the right to choose their time of
dying? In other words, what is
immortality? Is it to be an indefi-nite
stay of life here on earth, or
is it to be something reserved for
the life hereafter?"
In the same article Dr. Augen-stein
discussed problems of mind
manipulation, "spare parts" replac-ing
the vital organs of human be-ings,
abortion, birth defects, hu-
The Bethel Bookstore will be co-operating
with a nation-wide "Cam-pus-
Pac" plan to raise 50 dollars
for a selected freshman having
financial difficulties impeding his
educational process at Bethel.
The plan provides each student
with a packet containing samples
of several leading companies'
products, such as Macleans tooth-paste,
Gillette Foamy and blades,
Man-Power deodorant and Groom
& Clean hair tonic for the males,
and appropriate substitutions for
the other sex, such as Jergens lo-tion
and Dippity-Do. The price is
35c—a bargain for over 2 dollars'
worth of merchandise nearly ev-ery
student must buy regularly
The bookstore will donate 50
dollars from the proceeds to a
Bethel freshman with a particular-ly
acute financial difficulty. Ten
man genetics and alternatives to
the population explosion.
He concluded: "Obviusly science
is today generating another con-troversy,
but this time it will be
quite different. Instead of down-grading
man, science is literally
forcing man to play God. And —
make no mistake about it—we do
play God all the time.
"Every time we spray a garden
with pesticide and so drive away
the worms and robins, we are
playing God. Every time a surgeon
picks up a scalpel to correct a
physical defect in a person, he is
playing God,

candidates will be selected by the
students, with each buyer submit-ting
one person's name he feels
deserves the grant as he purchases
the "gift" packet in the book-store.
Bob Bergerud, bookstore mana-ger,
said the ten highest candi-dates
recommended by the sit-dents
will be considered by a fac-ulty
committee on the basis of
"need, 'spirit' and, less important,
He defined a person with 'spirit'
rather reluctantly as an individual
who applies himself to his educa-in
a positive manner, one "who
tries hard." Bergerud emphasizes
that academics will be the least
important determinant in the facul-ty
committee's choice of a recipi-ent
of the grant.
The packets will be on sale in
the bookstore as soon as they ar-rive
this week or as posted.

Misunderstood editorial
merits closer examination
The Clarion's editorial of November 15, commenting on College dean calls editorial low blow 1 1
Gerald Farber's essay "The Student as Nigger," has been great-ly
misunderstood; in view of this, some clarification seems
Recently the "Student as Nigger" essay raised a fervor at
the University of Minnesota when the chairman of the English
Department banned it from use in freshman English classes.
Amid protests about the alleged infringement upon academic
freedom, the Minnesota Daily published the text of the essay
for all to read, and the ban was finally lifted.
Since then other college newspapers have reprinted the
essay, and, at Bethel, the Peace Club included it on their liter-ature
table. The essay was promptly banned by President Lund-quist
and removed from the table.
The Clarion editorial, then, was not , an attempt out of
the clear blue sky to discredit Bethel's faculty and administra-tion.
It was rained- an attempt to deal with a matter of cur-rent
interest and evaluate its significance in a Bethel context.
The editorial said that students are "niggers" in the sense
that they are often treated as boys and girls rather than adults
and that such treatment is comfortably accommodated by the
student's refusal to think for himself or to speak out and dis-agree.
(Implicit in such an analysis is the assumption that in-tellectual
growth is encouraged when a degree of autonomy and
critical judgement are presupposed). The problem was clearly
stated as one involving both student and faculty and adminis-tration
The editorial acknowledged the growng role of students
in college decision making and saw the future as encouraging
rather than bleak. It did not advocate an overthrow of authori-ty
or question the place of faculty and administration; the
Clarion has always maintained that real student power cannot
be separated from responsibility. In focusing attention on an
essay that was a matter of current discussion, the editorial hoped
to show the need of breaking down artificial barriers at Bethel.
Reaction to the editorial has too often focused on a segment
of the editorial, twisted it out of context, and blown it out of
proportion. In many instances, reactions carry an emotional
charge which is foreign to the editorial in the first place.
Those who feel that the analysis of the November 15 edi-torial
is not valid should concentrate their efforts on explaining
incidents or attitudes that reinforce the "student as nigger"
phrase rather than indulging in emotional reactions that read
more into the editorial than what is actually there.
For example, is it not dehumanizing when rules become
more important than people, or when regulations become ends
in themselves, or are conveniently reinterpreted at strategic
There seem , to be a number of incidents where students,
individually and collectively, have been treated in a conde-scending
way or without due respect for fairness. Are these
meaningless aberrations or are they indications of underlying
A significant number of students—whether it be 100, 200,
300, 400 or more—feel that the "student as nigger" phrase has
some application at Bethel. How can this be explained?
If such sentiment is completely unjustified, why does it
exist? And if it is based in student misunderstanding, isn't open
discussion of such misconceptions the most practical means of
dipelling them?
These questions and others could be more profitably used
as a basis for meaningful dialogue than as a take off point for
emotional tirades which obscure the real issues.

A florescent-orange and black
poster with a distorted target ef-fect
— boldly bearing the words,
"A Man Afar Off" — is the only
visible evidence remaining from
Bethel's recent World Missions
- Perhaps that one striking poster,
now gathering dust, hits the bull's-eye
as a re-assessment of this year's
approach to a missions emphasis
on a Christian liberal arts college
Who was "afar off?" Were the
week's events effective in bringing
students in closer proximity to an
alertness or understanding of mis-sions?
If not, why not?
These were some of the ques-tions
and ideas wrestled with by a
handful of missionaries, WMW
committee members and interested
Students attending a feedback and
evaluation session at the conclu-sion
of the week.
A non-traditional approach, sup-posedly
in line with today's col-lege
students' desires for the per-son-
to-person contact and less
structure and superficiality, was
experimented with this year. The
result — according to the concen-sus
of opinion in the group — was
that some students felt "cheated"
and many of the missionaries felt
like "lonely intruders."
Agreeing to be available on cam-pus
throughout the week for indi-vidual
or group meetings and sche-duled
classroom sessions, the eight
or ten conference missionaries oc-casionally
found themselves frus-trated
at a lack or response or ev-en
recognition by students.
Many favorable comments fol-lowed
the missionary-in-the-class-room
arrangements which were
consented to by only about 15 per
cent of college instructors, the
WMW classroom coordinator re-ported.
To the Editor:
You hit a low blow against my
faculty and my administrative col-leagues
when in your editorial of
November 15, 1968 you hurled
against us the emotionally loaded,
vindictive phrase, "Student as Nig-ger,"
at Bethel. You not only
"rocked the boat," you fired a tor-pedo
of misunderstanding and mis-representation
that can practically
sink the boat.
Do you really believe the stu-dent
is treated like a "nigger" at
Bethel? If so, do you know how de-moralizing,
dehumanizing, de-so-cializing,
de - Christianizing t h e
black man has been treated? After
listening to the militant and non-militant
blacks who have shared
the agony of their deprivation in
American society in the class of
the "Negro in American Culture,"
do you classify the Bethel student
as existing in a "nigger" situation?
Certainly the Bethel faculty has
not reached the summits of living
the life as presented on the Sermon
on the Mount, nor have administra-
"Missionaries helped to break
down some stereo-typed notions of
themselves as persons who don't
identify with this society" by their
participation in Christianity, biolo-gy,
anthropology, speech and other
classes, one student noted.
Likewise were the missionaries
generally enthusiastic _ about those
few classroom atmosphere oppor-tunities.
However, it was suggested
that if more of the professors had
shared or communicated some of
their goals with the visiting mis-sionary,
he could have functioned
more meaningfully.
One missionary told of three
scheduled classes "washing out on
him" and one professor who, with-out
even introducing the guest,
turned the class over to him.
Rev. Richard Varberg, missionary
to the Philippines, effectively
broke the ice during the first day's
chapel session. He was able to dis-pel
the idea of the missionary (at
tors learned to fulfill the Pauline
mandate, "Not to think more high-ly
of himself than he ought to
think." Faculty may intimidate
with testy words and wordy tests,
but it is still a far cry from the
death cell of racial segregation.
Some administrative doors may be
forbidding, and some campus per-sonnel
may seem, to be distant and
aloof, but it certainly cannot be
equated with the master-slave
"Nigger life."
Even the much used word "pa-ternalism"
can be used to inflame
and infest rather than inform and
invite discussion. Paternalism may
be expressed through the cautious
voice of experience that calls out
across the generation gap. But let
me remind you that inexorably you
are moment by moment being
sucked into the next generation,
and I hope your vapor trail will
not break off and leave too big a
gap between you and the coming
revolutionaries, — the pre-nursery
gang now banging on the playpens.

But most of the other mission-aries
on campus were not given an
opportunity for even a brief in-person
introduction to the whole
student body. No displays, stickers,
bulletin boards, names or pictures
of the missionaries were splashed
about campus.
It was noted that the Tuesday
through Thursday chapel sessions
featuring Rev. Jack Shepard from
New Jersey appealed to many in
those smaller audiences on a more

all of us at Bethel to remember:
1. To really be Christian is to
accept fully every man as the ob-ject
of God's redemptive love. We
are all beggars; we all come to the
same table to receive the gift of
2. To really be Christian is to
recognize the orders within God's
creation, in the family, in society,
and in the church. God gives gifts
for ruling, for teaching, for serv-ing,
3. To really be Christian is to
live the life of a servant, not to
be served, but to serve.
If we can approach each other,
student, faculty, staff, administra-tor,
with the dignity of Christian
grace, of honesty and humility,
then we can build bridges of com-municative
relationships. But if we
pick up inflammatory vindictives
from a sick society and apply them
to members without the household
of faith, we can only develop a
"morbid craving for controversy
and for disputes about words,
which produce envy, dissention,
slander and base suspicions."

A new teacher on our campus,
who is probably known by few
others than his own small class of
students is Daniel Trejo. He teach-es
an evening course for beginning
Spanish students which meets four
times weekly.
Trejo, a native of Mexico, is the
son of a Lutheran minister and
is at the present time attendipg
Luther Theological Seminary. Be-fore
he and his wife moved to St.
Paul in 1966, he taught school in
Texas. Previous to that he received
his law degree from the University
of Guadalajara in Mexico.
Trejo is burdened for his own
people and as a response to the
great commission, plans to return
to Mexico after graduating from
Luther Theological Seminary to
serve the Lord in the task of
spreading the salvation message.
As Mexicans often view the
typical American as a fat, rich
man with a big car, pampered in
luxury, receding hairline, and a
beautiful blonde girl with him; so
do we stereotype the Mexican as a
Friday, December 6, 1968
lazy, short, dark man with a som-brero
and moustache, poorly clad,
riding a donkey, and seemingly on
the verge of poverty.
America is not a land of wealth
and luxury; likewise, Mexico is not
a land of poverty and is no longer
the land of "manana," said Trejo.
Trejo noted that most mission-aries
who go to Mexico from the
United States have a condescend-ing
attitude toward the Mexicans
and tend to isolate themselves from
the people. Their ministry or mis-sion
would be more widely accept-ed
among Mexicans if they would
go as 'brothers realizing that the
Mexican is proud of his heritage
and environment.
The gospel seems alien to many
Mexicans for primarily two rea-sons,
Trejo said. The first is the
attitude of superiority emitted by
the American missionary. Another
reason states Trejo is that Ameri-cans,
other than missionaries, who
live in Mexico lead lives that no
Mexican would strive to be like.
They often form ghetto-like areas
in the big cities where alcoholism
and suicide are prevalent.
the CLARION Page 3
Trejo cites the need for work-ers
among the nominal Catholics
in Latin America. In past years
the Catholic faith in Mexico has
mingled with some pagan practices
from the Indian religion. The
people are very superstitious and
to them religion is a ritual rather
than a personal and exciting rela-tionship
with their creator.
The United States is a "nation of
very wide contrasts" to Trejo. He
explains this by saying that there
is a possibility of meeting people
who are wide open to new ideas
and people who are totally closed.
Here are found areas in the city
where the power of architecture
and money are manifest along with
For those planning to go to Mex-ico
Trejo makes two suggestions.
First it is essential to know the
language for communication. In a
mission situation this is vital.
The second suggestion is be your-self.
"Be an American, but acknow-ledge
the identity of the Mexican
who is proud of his people, environ-ment,
history, esthetic heritage and
psychological heritage," he added.

The Eastside Theatre is present-ing
a world premiere production of
Vladimir Nabokov's "The Waltz In-vention."
(Yes, Nabokov wrote
"Lolita." No, "The Waltz Inve,l-tion"
is not a dirty play.)
The play is about a mysterious
little box built by the brilliant Wal-ter
Waltz. By operating the controls
on his radio-sized box, Walter can
make two rays cross at any point
on the globe. Where the rays cross
there will be an explosion one mile
in diameter—which will turn ev-erything
within that mile into a
fine cloud of dust.
At the beginning of the play Wal-ter's
nephew Salvatore Waltz has
come to a small European country
to tell its Minister of War about
the Waltz invention. No one be-lieves
his story, so he blows the top
off of a mountain. Even then no one
seems to realize the potential of
the gadget, but after a series of
tests Salvatore is able to convince
the ruler's of the country to give
him the Presidency.
Friday, December 6, 1968
His intentions are supposedly
humanitarian: he will force the
world to lay down its arms. He be-gins
well, but he soon exhibits
signs of megalomania, and becomes
frustrated when paradise does not
replace the old order he has de-stroyed.
Just as everything is about to
collapse, the scene becomes exact-ly
as it was at the beginning of
the play, and Salvatore Waltz is
crazy and has dreamed the whole
thing. Finis.
Many things about the play seem
to make no sense at all. A dreamy-dazed
girl in a white robe tells
Waltz that the mountain he blew
up used to be the home of "an
old enchanter and a white gazelle."
That is the last line of the first
act, and it is the only mention of
the enchanter and the gazelle.
There is a suggestion that Salva-tore
wants to stop war because he
can't stand noise, a suggestion
which is dropped completely as
soon as it is made. The president
whom Waltz replaces is invisible.
Nabokov has abandoned the con-ventional
plot: there is no story
line which is wrapped up and tied
neatly just in time for the final
curtain to fall. And nowhere does
he give a formula or even a single
clue for the unravelling of his mys-tery.
The play is thought-provoking,

Puzzling playsbuilds powerful mood
The Beatles
by Chuck Myrbo
I spent the summer after my freshman year with the
Beatles and a Boning Ben. I was going to summer school and
my only pleasures were "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club
Band" and a series of letters. I played "Sergeant Pepper" con-stantly
and exclusively, and I soon became convinced that there
had never been a better album.
"Sergeant Pepper" may soon have to give up that spot
nearest and dearest to my heart, but if it does, its replacement
will be another Beatle album. They've just released a new one
—it's two records, thirty songs; it's called simple "The Beatles."
They begin by proving that their bag is bigger than the
—it's two records, thirty songs; it's called simply "The Beatles."
bag is bigger than anybody's bag.
"Back in the USSR" is a hard-rock mock of the Beach
Boys. "Piggies" is baroque-ish. "Honey Pie" is pure soft shoe,
straight from the vaudeville stage of "The Palace."
The mood and the message of "Mother Nature's Son" are
direct descendants of Wordsworth's lyrics. "Rocky Racoon" has
a Nashville-country sound. "Good Night" should have been
sung by Julie Andrews before she went to work on her image.
The alubum discards any preconceptions about what rock
and roll should sound like, and lays the field wide open. In
each song the sound is suited to the sense — the medium has
become the message.
After "Sergeant Pepper," "Magical Mystery Tour" was a
disappointment. And the year long wait after that was frustra-ting;
but it was worth it. "The Beatles" is worth $9.27.

College study in Ethiopia offers
all-around learning experience
by Gordy Dean
The empire of Ethiopia occupies
a unique position in Africa in that
it has maintained itself almost con-tinuously
as an independent politi-cal
entity for at least fifteen hun-dred
years. It also has a history as
old as man. Scholars such as Dr.
Leaky are still trying to determine
the origin of human history in
Ethiopia, which may eventually
prove to be the beginning of man.
I have lived in Ethiopia for only
three months and already I have
grown to love the cool temperate
climate and rugged mountains. My
main purpose in being here is to
study social and educational devel-opment
in Ethiopia at Haile Selas-sie
I University (HSIU) in Addis
Although the academic standard
of HSIU does not compare to our
American universities, I am learn-ing
far more outside of the class-room.
A most unique and exciting
way of learning is reading in my
text about a tribe, their culture and
way of living and then going out
and actually visiting that tribe,
eating their food inside their ma-

Because Ethiopia's history is so
ancient and since much is still be-ing
discovered, the adventure of
visiting cave paintings dated four
to six hundred thousand B.C., or
going out on a Sunday afternoon
and digging up Stone Age bones
and tools, provides the tourist with
a variety of interesting activities
which makes one appreciate the
country as well as human history
to a greater extent.
For the hunter or outdoor pho-tographer,
the wilds of Ethiopia
provides elephants, lions, leopards,
hyenas, wart hogs, hippos, crocs
and zebras. Although most of these
are protected from hunting, easy
accessability to the majority of
these animals makes for fun cam-era
shooting even for the ama-teur.
Because there are only two rail-road
connections and flying is ex-pensive,
most foreigners venture
to conquer the excitement of the
country by either bus or car. When

Bethel'S basketball squad -has put • in hard week of practice
preparing fcir weekend games • with ;Siolix Falls and St. John's:
by Wally Borner
Last Saturday night saw a good crowd, for a Thanksgiv-ing
vacation, watch Bethel tangle on the hard court with St.
Cloud. Several were disappointed at the outcome, but in the
light of last year's game, there was no reason to be ashamed
of this year's team.
Red Severson has taken his Huskies from St. Cloud to eight
league championships in the last ten years and also to the
NAIA playoffs on a few occasions.
True, they lost two of their starters from last year, but
they have Trewick back and their coach which is all the com-bination
they need to have a good season this year. They don't
have much chance for getting back to an NAIA berth, but
neither does Bethel.
So no matter what you think, or thought, Bethel's basket-ball
boys played a good game last Saturday night. Any team
can look forward to a good season if they can keep within
striking distance of St. Cloud for most of the game.
Bethel should not have to worry about running into a
ten minute stall too often. St. Cloud had a close game Friday
night and could have been a little tired from that. So by play-ing
percentage basketball, they could take their time, sink the
free throws, and let their opponents make the mistakes in their
urgent attempt for points.
Don Larson fouled out in that game, the first Bethel play-er
to foul out in the young season. Such a feat would have
been a phenominal accomplishment for previous Bethel teams.
And Dan's fouls did not all look unintentional.
Though the scoring for Bethel started out a little unbal
anced, we should be able to see a balanced offensive threat in
future games. Larson, Richardson, and Brodin, the sophomore
guards, have outside shots that will keep the defensive honest
and Andy "Renville" Feldman has apparently found the mark
and should assist Ron Pederson in scoring and rebounding.
Add the strength and experience of the bench and the
Royal Rooters can look forward to a good season.
There is no real use in conjecturing on how many games
the team will win but suffice it to say that they should be
over .500 this season. And from the looks of the crowds at the
first three athletic events of the winter season, it is apparent
that the student body is behind the teams, that is, behind our
winning teams.

Consultant Pitches Multipurpose Facility in Pierre
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A consultant is recommending that the city of Pierre build a 40,000-square-foot multipurpose building to replace the old City Auditorium, which closed in April 2011 because of structural problems.
Arizona-based Pinnacle Indoor Sports Facility Development spoke with dozens of nonprofits, recreational sports groups and high school coaches before compiling its report, which was presented to the City Commission on Wednesday.
The consultant says the facility would cost about $220,000 to operate each year and recommends the city partner with other groups on the project.
The Capital Journal reports (http://bit.ly/UIkQ4v ) that the commission did not immediately take action on the proposal.

Width: 56 in.
Weight: 8 ounces per linear yard
Sale Unit: Sold per linear yard [36 in. per yard]
Price is per YARD. [36 in. Long x 54 in. Width]
Minimum is 1 yard.
Pre-washed, 1100% COTTON DUCK CANVAS, woven on high speed looms resulting in
a hardy fabric ideal for Drapery, Tablecloths, Bags and Clothing
and artists canvas.
Cotton duck – or simply duck, sometimes duck cloth or duck canvas,
commonly called in.canvas in. outside the textile industry, is a heavy, plain woven cotton fabric.
Duck fabric is woven with 2 yarns together in the warp and a single yarn in the weft.
Cotton duck is a weighty, plain-but-strong woven canvas. Despite its name, this hardy
workwear fabric has nothing to do with waterfowl or their feathers.
The term in.duck in. comes from the Dutch word doek, which refers to a linen canvas once used for
sailors' white trousers and outerwear. The word in.cotton in. has been added to modern duck items simply
to distinguish them from traditional linen duck. Interestingly enough, though, cotton duck is related to
another type of work-ready duck. Duct tape, often called "duck tape", was originally manufactured by
adding an adhesive backing to regular cotton duck.

Thomas Jefferson envisioned that his University of Virginia
would prepare the young citizens of the Commonwealth and the nation to pursue
productive careers in public service, agriculture and commerce; and for ninety
years, students have pursued the ideal of higher education in the buildings
that Jefferson designed almost 200 years ago.
In 1915, the University of Virginia organized a Bureau of Extension
to deliver its academic resources to people throughout the state in the spirit
of Jeffersons "hope [that] the education of the common people will be
attended to." Subsequently, the University added to its Statement of Purpose
and Goals an injunction to provide public service activities and continuing
and professional studies programs of the highest quality to the citizens of
Virginia and the nation. Today, the University of Virginias School of
Continuing and Professional Studies serves annually more than 30,000 individuals
in credit and noncredit courses of study, as well as conferences, seminars,
and training programs. In all academic pursuits, the School has adhered to a
standard of lifelong learning, established first by Jeffersons notion
of "education on the broad scale," whereby adults vigorously attend to their
education throughout their lives.
And yet, while maintaining "the broad scale" of learning, the
School of Continuing and Professional Studies has not lost sight of the practicality
necessary for education in the twenty-first century. The School creates opportunities
for adult students to learn about the most recent advances in research and scholarship,
in an environment conducive to liberal learning, and from faculty members actively
engaged in a plethora of scholarly studies.
Through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies,
University of Virginia faculty members share the results of their inquiries
and test the implications of their findings with a variety of individuals from
diverse personal backgrounds and career experiences. At the same time, program
participants broaden their knowledge and hone such critical skills as strategic
thinking and problem solving. Above all else, the School aims to cultivate the
highest quality of education balanced with the broadest sense of learning.
Programs of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies
enable executives from business and industry, as well as professionals from
many fields, to respond quickly and successfully to the ever-changing challenges
in their work lives. Political and community leaders engage in the focused study
of significant public policy issues, examine the problems facing the institutions
which they support or govern, and consider the assumptions about quality of
life and civic responsibility which guide their communities.

Forward mount Giotto plate
I'm planning to get Giotto plates for outdoors, mounted on Riedell 495 boots. I've read that placing the front wheel as forward as possible is better for outdoors, so you can roll over stuff, and the rear wheel under the centre of ankle joint. My question is how far forward is recommended for the front wheels for outdoor skating? I'd prefer not to limit the ability to make quick turns, as long as it doesn't mean I get thrown over on every twig on the road.
If there are alternative recommended setups for outdoors I'd be interested to hear.
I'm an inline speed skater moving over to quads. My weight is 176 pounds / 80kg; height 6'2".
Does anyone know the max wheel size for Giottos?
Which cushions would be best for outdoor non-competitive dance / shuffle, some speed? I think the standard supplied cushions are the clear blue medium ones.

I had these same questions a few years ago when I was doing an Avenger–Riedell setup for outdoor speed, dance, downhill slalom, and general urban skating. I am the same weight as you, only 2" shorter.
I did a short forward mount and tried them for two weeks. I hated it. It was too hard to go up on my toes; it was too easy to tilt back over the rear axle; and I did not like pushing off only with the front of my foot. I thought the maneuverability was good, but I don't think they rolled over debris better or were less likely to pitch me forward than my old standard mount skates. Part of the problem was the geometry of the forward mount, the other was that I was use to skating on a standard mount.
But this was me. The best person to choose the placement of your mount is you. After un-mounting the plates, I temporarily duct taped them back on the boots in 1/8" increments behind the prior mount location. I did a test skate each time and marked each test in pencil on the bottom of the boot. No need to find the ankle joint or ball. When it felt right, I mounted it.
For cushions I use the hardest ones available (Sure-Grip red 93a) because they more stable at high speed. For wheels I use Zombie Hawgs 76mm 86a, with the width cut down to reduce weight. Your preferences may vary, although I would recommend a large diameter wheel (70mm or more) for a smoother ride.
BTW, I'm totally with you on Dionysus. Wine, creativity and ecstatic rituals. Yeehaw!

I agree with most of Bogfoot's ideas, excluding the 93A cushions.
The far forward front axle (as in my avatar PIC) is good insurance for avoiding face plants, but it can mess with doing transition moves that take you up onto the front axle only, even briefly, because it reduces the leverage of your foot/ankle for tipping the skate forward.
I see no reason that you need firm cushions for stability at any speed, once you develop the adequate ankle strength to control the proper lean of your plates. Stability is more a function of plate geometry and skater skill level, than it is a result of cushion firmness. Turning response is much more the result of plate suspension tuning, and not so much from a plate merely having a short length.
Since you are transitioning from inlines, a longer plate with medium firmness cushions might initially be good. If the suspension is well tuned a long Giatto can still turn effectively, but I would quickly move on to softer cushions as a way of more quickly getting better with your balance skills while rolling & turning on one foot, than you can learn this with firm & less responsive cushions.
The bigger (70mm+) wheels should handle your intended kind of outdoor skating well, as long as and they are fairly narrow (30-35mm).

My recommendation for a forward mount is the following.
Measure from where your big toe meets the ball of the foot to the vertical line to the floor midway of your inside ankle bone. This gives you the distance between axles you need for your plate. For example my measurement is 153mm, so I have a 155mm axles spread on my Boens. Of course you may not be able to get it exactly to match.
Mount your plate so that the rear axle is slightly forward of the middle of you inside ankle bone (about half a centimetre should be good)
Your front axle will now fall somewhere under your big toe.
This is my setup, and the setup that is called Aussie Style. It is not Short Forward as far as I am concerned.
It is also not necessarily done this way to roll over things. This mount allows you to step on your heel and gives greater push off with the big toe, therefore more power and speed. In my opinion.
Actually the first pic below, the plate could do with about another 3/4 centimetre more forward. They are actually my indoor setup. Second one is outdoor setup.
We are the QUORG! You will be assimiskated. Skating Inlines is Futile!

I use the Giotto for outdoors. I can highly recommend those.
With the clear cushions and my 70kg I can use 80 mm wheels. The front cushions are cranked down 3 clicks, the back cushions can be quite loose.
Maybe you have read the Giotto-thread already.
Here I am at the Berlin Marathon 2015 with the 80 mm Orangatang Kegel 83a

Hi The French,
I´ve found these rules. I hope they help.
There are single-accented compounds that take the accent on the first element:
_The largest group is formed by the combination of two nouns:
a)The second noun indicates the performer of the action, as in:
baby-sitter, book-seller, car-dealer, vacuum cleaner, bartender, housekeeper, etc.
b)The first noun delimits the meaning of the second, by stating "What type of thing" it is:
school-days, bed-clothes, air-craft, time-bomb, newsagent, waterfall, etc.
_Another important group is formed by the combination of adjectives and nouns.
Normally when a noun is preceded by an adjective, both are accented:
blackberry, grandchild, secondary school, folk music, greengrocer, dark room, steering-wheel, parking zone, etc.
_Verbs and nouns sometimes combine, as in:
catchword, cookbook, pickpocket, cork-screw, fire-escape, pushchair, etc.
There are double-accented compounds that take the primary accent on the second element:
_One group is made of nouns:
a)The first noun indicates the position of the second one, as in:
country-house, camp-bed, shop window, kitchen cupboard, etc.
b)The second is made of the first one, as in:
apple sauce, olive oil, cotton wool, fruit salad, etc.
c)Other common noun + noun compounds are:
woman driver, fellow-citizen, city centre, mother tongue, ground floor, mass media, etc.
_Some common double-accented compounds formed by nouns and adjectives are:
a)Adjective + noun:
civil war, best man, prime minister, wet blanket, sliding door, common sense, best-seller, etc.
b)Noun + adjective:
navy blue, snow-white, world-wide, rent free, stone-deaf, etc.
_Participles make up some common compounds, e.g.:
air-conditioning, high-minded, home-made, good-looking, old-fashioned, easy-going, deep-frozen, etc.

Dynamo - Espace et vision dans l'art de nos jours à 1913
This is one of Time Out's top 50 things to do in Paris this summer. Click here to see the full list.
A show that shines, shivers and glows comes to the Grand Palais in spring, celebrating the conceptual and visual fireworks of 'perceptual art', which takes a malicious pleasure in confusing the viewer. Its philosophical complexity and optical variety encompass many whims of modern and contemporary art, and borrow freely from all styles and eras. From Bridget Riley to the sound and light installations of Julio le Parc, from the neon bars of Dan Flavin to the optical art of Victor Vasarely and from the obsessive dots of Yayoi Kusama to the mechanical sculptures of Jena Tinguely, this exhibition brings a century of creativity from all different perspectives together in a 4000 square metre exhibition space.

The cuisine of the Southwestern United States is food styled after the rustic cooking of the Southwestern United States. It is also known to be very popular in the west coast state of California. It comprises a fusion of recipes for things that might have been eaten by Spanish colonial settlers, cowboys, Native Americans, and Mexicans throughout the post-Columbian era; there is, however, a great diversity in this kind of cuisine throughout the Southwestern states.

Southwestern cuisine is similar to Mexican cuisine but often involves larger cuts of meat, and less use of tripe, brain, and other parts not considered as desirable in the United States. As with Mexican cuisine, Southwestern cuisine is also largely known for its use of spices (particularly the chile, or Chili pepper). Recently, several chains of casual dining restaurants specializing in Southwestern cuisine have become popular in the United States.

Michael Ramirez skewers President Obama for playing politics with our troops in Afghanistan. But then, when does Obama do anything other than play politics? His release of oil from the strategic reserve is a classic: the Democrats tell us that increasing our domestic production won't affect gas prices, until they face a political crisis. Then the clouds part, momentarily, and they remember Economics 1: increasing supply will lower prices. They remember it, however, only until the political crisis passes.
Anyway, here is Ramirez on Obama's Afghanistan machinations. Click to enlarge:

Telephone diplomacy to avoid the sequester has begun.
President Barack Obama called House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday to discuss the across-the-board budget cuts set to begin on March 1. Neither side said much about the talks but White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama and the GOP leaders had "good conversations."
That could mean almost anything, but it's at least a sign that there's a high-level move afoot to head off the $85 billion in cuts scheduled for 2013.
It's a safe bet that Obama in his calls kept up a push for a mix of spending cuts and tax increases to replace the sequester. Obama wants to limit tax deductions to 28% for the wealthy as a way of raising revenue — as outlined here. For his part, Boehner wrote this week that "the tax debate is now closed."
The cuts would take effect across military and domestic programs, although not all at once. Read: Not all sequester cuts would hit at the same time.
Still, that hasn't stopped economists from warning about job losses if the cuts — in total about $1.2 trillion over nine years — are allowed to take effect.
Obama, Boehner and McConnell may be talking but Congress doesn't have much time to act. Lawmakers return Monday, leaving them four full days before March 1 to pass sequester-replacement legislation.

I've written before about how much I like the Avett Brothers. Last month I picked up their newest album The Carpenter (Check out a great interview with Scott Avett about it) . It is a really solid album, and I have greatly enjoyed it. One song in particular has really stuck with me – "A Father's First Spring." I've embedded a video of it below:
This song is about the birth of Scott Avett's daughter Eleanor, and its lyrics are really powerful.:
The realest thing I ever felt
was the blood on the floor and the love in your yell
I was a child before
the day that I met Eleanor
I really identify with that (except substitute "Lily" for "Eleanor"). 15 years ago every father of a little girl was touched by "Butterfly Kisses," this song helps me to understand that feeling (although I much prefer the Avett Brothers to Bob Carlisle). I know that my life forever changed when I became a Dad to a little girl. To quote further from the song:
When I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes
My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time
I think another reason I have been so drawn to this song is the knowledge of what is going on with Bob Crawford. Bob Crawford is the bassist of the Avett Brothers, and his daughter Hallie has battle brain cancer. Here he is discussing their experience:
As a father of a little girl that has gone through surgery, I identify with this. This is another reason I love this band. Their willingness to be open, their humility, and now, their efforts in aiding a place like St. Jude's all make me like them all the more. I encourage you to go buy The Carpenter (for $6.99 on Amazon as of today). You won't regret it. Also, say a prayer for Bob's daughter Hallie as she continues her treatments.
Until later friends…

Ethyl 26 Media Group necesitaba un nuevo diseño de fondo de Twitter y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 14 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Housing.com is a search tool for finding a place to live and is a multi-media resource for learning about the people, ideas, trends and policies that drive and shape housing development worldwide.
Statement :
Human beings need shelter. We dream about houses. And we long for home. But home can mean many things. Homes are social symbols. They're part of our identity. They're comfort. They're continuity. Homes encapsulate our history. And they reflect our psychology.
(to read more: http://www.housing.com/categories/about-us.html)
Our goal is to appeal to a wide variety of people. From the functionally illiterate to the highly educated.
We feel good design, like Apple's products, is intuitively understood by both ends of the user spectrum. If you are successful at this -- then the middle of all users will fall into place.
Obviously, we're not expecting to achieve all this with a Twitter page - but there you have it anyway.
We would like to have the background design to subtly illustrate the wide variety of housing types in the world -- from modernist high-rise apartment buildings to mobile homes to the yurts of Mongolia.
Update: If people are finding it too much of a challenge to illustrate a variety of housing types -- one or two will suffice. simplicity is the key..
Please, nothing too busy. Looking for a relatively simple and "quiet" design.
Think housing for everyone.
A few things to think about:
1. Use Twitter expanded profile.
2. Incorporate the use of our logo as a piece of signage atop a building in a skyline. See New Yorker reference.
2. Illustrations of housing types, rather than photos.
Example: (see attachment, Picture 270.png)
Example: (see attachment, Picture 271.png)

The Ladies of 'Desert Sharks' — Crush of the Day
Remember, you heard it here first: These ladies are about to be huge.
From left to right, above are: Stefania Rover, Rebecca Rose, Stephanie Gunther, and Sunny Veniero, the 4-piece all-female rock/garage/punk band 'Desert Sharks.' These immensely talented babes are newcomers to the music scene, and they're already getting plenty of notice.
Formed in 2011, Desert Sharks has already shared the stage with the likes of Paul Weller, The Coathangers, The So So Glos, and Diarrhea Planet.
Most exciting, though, their track 'I Can't Catch My Breath' was featured on a Red Bull and Go Pro Camera Flugtag video:
Their highly anticipated EP, 'Sister Cousins' is due out in January. In the meantime, you can 'like' them on Facebook and check out their Bandcamp page. If you happen to live in the New York area, check them out live on December 11th at Death by Audio. Also, look how pretty they are:

thanks, roseblood.
I much prefer to leave the plug in the guitar for convenience (and I'm sure I will often forget to unplug it).
If I were to mod it, I'd add an on/off switch. Or better yet, change the current toggle switch so that center is off (but I suppose that would require installing a switch with multiple contacts).

DistributionWatch Review: Red Hat Linux 7.1
Red Hat's Subtle Movement
If Linux-Mandrake likes to ride the cutting edge of point releases by jamming everything new it can find in the installation package set, then Red Hat's releases must lie toward the other end of this spectrum. For Red Hat's releases tend to be more subtle in their forward movements--slowly advancing toward technological Nirvana.
This is not so much a criticism of Red Hat Linux 7.1 as an explanation of how this latest release came to be. RH 7.1 is much like its predecessors: a stable and slightly newer collection of useful Linux tools. As this slow evolution moves along, important features start getting noticed--features that indicated more clearly than ever that in the long-term, Red Hat is definitely pushing their distribution toward the corporate end-user.
But while Red Hat's movements have been slow in some ways, there have been other changes within the distribution that make one wonder what Red Hat is doing in the short-term.
Installing Seawolf
The evaluation copy I received from Red Hat was their Deluxe Workstation, which is the company's middle of the road offering. It includes a little more documentation than the Standard Edition as well as some "extra" applications on the Workstation Applications, PowerTools, and Loki Games CD. The use of quotes around the word extra is my own affectation, because I am often puzzled why StarOffice, available on the Workstation Applications CD, is considered an extra and not bundled in the Standard Edition. Granted, you can download the suite with a minimum of effort, but why have users hassle with it?
This is particularly true when you consider that what you are really paying more for here is the added support users get over and above the Standard Edition, which allots one system 30 days of Red Hat Network Software Manager support. In the Deluxe Workstation version, you can get five systems supported for 60 days and in the Professional Server flavor, 10 systems for 90 days.
Feeling a bit impulsive, I installed Red Hat 7.1 on my AMD K6 500MHz test machine, blowing away the SuSE and Mandrake installs that resided in the machine. I realize this may not be exactly living on the edge, but you take what you can get at my age. I opted to use the Anaconda graphic install, because of its default status.
The first thing I noted right off the bat was the fact that the X implementation that was running Anaconda for me did not choose a 640X480 (re: Reader's Digest Large Print Edition) screen resolution that often truncated too many fields on previous installs. This time, it went the other way and displayed in a 1024X768 resolution.
This wasn't the only thing that changed in Anaconda. Besides the usual Workstation, Server, Upgrade installation option is a Laptop option which I am itching to try on my wife's machine later. Also new and of note was the "Firewalling" screen, which let you choose from preset firewall options or manually select which ports you want traffic to come through. I know that some have argued this is not a true firewall setup, but rather a cushy little front-end for Lokkit, but I appreciated the option nonetheless, given Red Hat's troubled history with leaving a lot of ports open by default. It worked, too, I should add--nothing was open that I didn't want to be after the installation.
One curious change was the lack of an automatic text of the X configuration. The card probing and resolution setting steps were there, but then it went right on with the rest of the install without a test start of X. In my case, no harm done, everything worked fine. I am kicking myself for not seeing if I missed hitting a checkbox somewhere, though.
