About My Slownik Geograficzny Translations
This may seem like I'm veering off-topic, but I don't think so. When I tackled Radun and Szczuczyn over a decade ago, I was working with the Polish language for the first time since I was a teenager. I struggled with the vocabulary and the syntax, and am still grateful for the graceful editing and polishing Fred Hoffman brought to those translations.
Since the late 1990s when I got involved in genealogy, I have done a variety of things to recover the Polish language skills I was fortunate to acquire in childhood. I read out loud in Polish (because it was, for me, always much more a spoken language than a written one) so that I can see the connection between how words sound and how they are spelled. I took a year of college-level Polish taught by Professor Jonathan Shea, whom I admire greatly as the most knowledgeable Polish genealogist in the United States. I spoke Polish during my travels to Poland and Belarus (Lithuania, not so much!). I speak Polish as the opportunities arise here in the Polonias of New England. I sing kolędy, beautiful Polish Christmas carols, year-round (though terribly off-key, and not where anyone can hear me).
The point is, I can translate Polish text to English a bit faster now. I still rely very heavily on Polish-English dictionaries, especially the worn old Stanisławski dictionary I inherited from my uncle John Prokopowicz. And I am still very grateful for any suggestions to improve the sense or fluidity of my translations, which are sometimes awkward and stilted. Language detailing 19th-century (and earlier) culture is especially challenging, since some practices, titles, occupations, and customs have not survived into the 21st century, and they defy easy explanation.
Delving into micro-history
Another reason I have decided to include additional Słownik translations here is to provide a bigger picture of my ancestors' lives and times. Not their individual lives—they were all peasants, and not the kind of people one finds immortalized in history books—but the region they lived in for generations and its changes over the centuries. Reading about one single town is inadequate to understand the region's history. The more, the better.
For example, this week I translated the Słownik entry on Wasiliszki. This is a parish a few miles north of Szczuczyn, and the home of my maternal great-grandmother, whom I have not yet introduced here. Most of the text was similar to what I'd encountered with the other towns: population statistics, brief description of the land and resources, names of founders and officials. And at the end, a one-sentence reference to the Second Swedish War (also known as the Great Northern War), mentioning that Swedish King Charles XII and his army were camped nearby in Zołudek in February 1706 while Polish King Stanisław Leszczyński was in Wasiliszki accepting a declaration of surrender from some Lithuanian nobles.
Wow. Small towns like these seldom get mentioned in big histories. This started my mind racing. I frankly know nothing about the Swedish-Polish wars, so first I Googled the topic and then yesterday I checked an armload of books on Charles XII out of the Central Connecticut State University library. In all that I have now read about the battles, skirmishes, and stand-offs that occurred in this region in the early 1700s, I have found numerous references to Grodno but none identifying specific smaller locales to the east. All of the events on this front are described in connection to Warsaw, Grodno, Wilno, and other sizable well-known cities.
Yet a Swedish king, his Polish ally, their Russian and Lithuanian opponents, and all their respective armies of thousands of men were fighting, negotiating, marching, and camping all over Lida area over the course of many months. How did the war impact this quiet countryside—its roads, fields, rivers, forests, farms, towns, villages, and most importantly, its people? How were my ancestors affected? Is this perhaps why the records available for the Catholic parish in Szczuczyn begin in 1718, and not earlier? Were earlier records somehow removed or destroyed due to the war? I have no idea. I have always felt an inexplicable attunement to Scandinavia. Is there perhaps some Swedish blood in my veins? (Well, I suppose that could go back many more hundreds of years, if it is the case.)
"She was a seamstress for the czarina"
I'm now working on a Zołudek translation, and my curiosity has been whetted enough to make me want to translate Słownik entries for several other Lida area towns. Who knows what tiny but fascinating bits of information they will reveal?
One type of data Słownik offers at length concerns property ownership: the names of nobility who owned estates and sometimes whole villages or towns, and the ranges of time they owned them. Magnate records (at least, the few I've seen) tend to provide a full accounting of all the lands, buildings, livestock, resources, and miscellaneous items owned within an estate. And sometimes they identify by name the peasants and other laborers who worked in those fields and homes.
It may be that research into magnate records for Szczuczyn, for example, might yield some information about my family. My ciocia (aunt) Pauline, who was born there, used to talk about a cousin of my babcia Stefania's being "a seamstress for the czarina." Stefania came from a long line of women who were very skilled in all types of needlework and who passed those talents along to us, so someone working as a seamstress seemed quite plausible. But I always questioned the czarina connection as fiction or exaggeration, since I knew my family lived nowhere near the czar's palace in Russia. Now I understand that ciocia Pauline was probably referring to some szlachta estate in the Szczuczyn area. Find the magnate, find the peasant—or so I hope.
A Prokopowicz here, a Prokopowicz there
Yet another reason to acquaint myself with the micro-history of the Lida area is that I still do not know the origins of my paternal grandfather's paternal line. Although my grandfather Julian Prokopowicz was baptized and raised in the Radun area, it appears likely that his father's family was earlier in some other parish. I have found Prokopowicz records in virtually all of the Lida area parishes that I have explored. I have not yet figured out if and how they all connect. So until proven otherwise, I claim the entire Lida area as my family's home. I love Lida.
In that regard, I am just about ready to post my 1998 translation for Ejszyszki. I feel a strange connection to Ejszyszki (as I do with Sweden!), even though I have no evidence (yet) that I have any family roots there. But that is another story altogether, and one I hardly understand myself.

Hi Barbara. I know this is an old post, but I found it very interesting. Worcester is my hometown, and I too have ties to the old Polish community there. My great-grandmother, Ewa (Kowalewska) Bulak, was a seamstress of great talent who worked for the Countess Glinka at Palac w Szczawinie near Goworowo. I haven't really explored what the Slownik has to offer because I've been working on other parts of the family. Thank you for the information provided in your post. CindyReplyDelete
Hi Cynthia, I appreciate your writing! Your comment about your great-grandmother seemed to trigger some very old memory for me. At least, I think it's a memory ... what popped into my mind was shopping with my babcia Stefania on Millbury Street in the early 1950s. She crocheted incessantly, and bought her materials at two stores there, Mrs. Goodwin's (across from Buyniski's drug store) and another, a couple blocks closer to Kelley Square. For some reason, I associate the name "Mrs. Bulak" with these shopping trips. Do that make any sense to you?ReplyDelete
You are so right! My aunt had a store on Millbury St. for 50 plus years--Helen's. She was in the Rialto building. My grandparents and aunt moved out to the "country" on Grove St. in 1940, but they maintained friendships with the folks on Vernon Hill for the rest of their lives. Check out my blog at www.heritagezen.blogspot.com. I've just started a series about my Aunt Helen's trip to Poland in 1937. I have your two Worcester books by the way...ReplyDelete
Wow! Helen's, yes! I wish so much we could have had a photo of her or her store in one of our books! We had a really difficult time finding photos of the stores, businesses, social gathering places, and people who made Millbury Street the heart of the Polish neighborhood.ReplyDelete
I will be spending lots of time exploring your blog--just took a quick glance at it. Very cool to read another perspective on Worcester's Polonia and other ethnic heritage as well. May I post a link to it here?
(Also, just noticed my typo above. Should be "Does that ...," not "Do that," of course.)
Somewhere I have an article from the Worcester Telegram about my aunt and her store when she retired back in the 1970s. My mom and grandmother and I would go down to Milbury St. and visit her. I still remember the sound of cracking pool balls in the pool hall upstairs...ReplyDelete
I'm so glad to make contact with you. I actually met you briefly at the WPL genealogy conference last year!
Please feel free so post a link to my website. And even though I have a French last name, I am really a Polish girl at heart!
I hope you'll share that article on your blog at some point. So great that the Telegram did a story on Helen Bulak and her store on Millbury Street! I'd love to read it.ReplyDelete
It's great to be in contact with you, Cynthia. I've added link to your wonderful Heritage Zen blog here. Bardzo dziekuje!
Basia, I just stumbled on your blog while doing one of my perpetual searches on my "unusual" Polish maiden name: Doda. In my endless searches, I have discovered that Doda is a common surname in Albania! (A former finance minister was Viktor Doda.) And it's a common surname in the Punjab (also spelled "Dodda"), where Dodas are a clan in the Arora subcaste (Vaishyas); Dodas (and Doddas) are also prevalent in Karnataka, in and around Bangalore! And there are lots of Dodas in Romania, too. That big Polish census, done in 1990 or 1991, lists about 250 Dodas in all of Poland, but there are tens of thousands of Dudas. My late dad, Kasmir, was born in Bydgoszcz (1922), but his family moved to that town, they weren't from there, and the history on my Doda side is completely thin, whereas my mother's side, Zwolak and Tomaszek, have deep roots in the Lublin area.ReplyDelete
Well, it's the tiny wee hours so I must sign off here, Basia. Geneological searching on the Web can be addictive.
My best regards, Basia — your roots work is so impressive and enlightening!
Dziekuje bardzo!
Donna C. (née Doda — "Danuta" to my late Babcia)
Canadian in Silicon Valley, CA
Donna, it's nice to meet another Doda! And very interesting about that surname being common in Romania. That is also true of the Blaszko surname. I've wondered many times when and how both of those tribes (in my paternal grandmother's ancestry) ended up in Lida. They've been there since at least the late 1700s, per church records, but I wouldn't be surprised if they migrated from Romania/Hungary in the 1500s-1600s. Those surnames are centered in a very small area within the Lida region—just a few small villages east of Radun. Also interestingly, my own and my paternal relatives' DNA testing has turned up a number of Romanians as distant cousins. Maybe you and I are cousins too :) — BasiaReplyDelete

Welcome to the Geriatrics Center
Raymond Yung, M.B., Ch.B. Director,
U-M Geriatrics Center
Welcome to the Geriatrics Center at the University of Michigan. Established in 1987 by the Regents of the University of Michigan, the Center is dedicated to providing outstanding educational opportunities, advancing research on the healthcare issues of older adults and providing exemplary multidisciplinary care and services for the older population.
The Geriatrics Center's multi-disciplinary faculty of nearly 300 physicians and scientists from 14 U-M schools and institutes, including 29 departments in the Medical School, conduct $79 million in nationally-sponsored research each year. We're ranked among the top programs in the country for both academic geriatrics programs and hospital care for older adults by U.S News and World Report.
The U-M's Institute of Gerontology, one of the oldest and most highly regarded academic programs of its kind, merged with the Geriatrics Center in 2004. The IoG is a major research resource in studying the aging process and serves as the Geriatrics Center's research arm.
The U-M Division of Geriatric and Palliative Medicine is the academic home to 37 members of the Geriatrics Center's clinical and research faculty. Division faculty provide geriatrics and palliative clinical care and medical training within the U-M Health System, and conduct clinical, epidemiological, and basic research.
Specializing in the comprehensive assessment and treatment of adults over the age of 70, Geriatrics Center physicians are board-certified in geriatrics, and our experienced team includes nurses, pharmacists, social workers and other professionals. Our experts provide inpatient consultation and transitional care services to hospitalized older adults and those in extended care facilities. In addition, the busy outpatient programs of the Geriatrics Center Clinics and Turner Geriatric Clinic draw 29,000 patient visits a year to our facilities at the East Ann Arbor Health and Geriatrics Center.
The Geriatrics Center offers numerous programs and classes to help older adults remain healthy and independent as long as possible. A broad range of clinical programs are available and emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to patient care and are particularly sensitive to health promotion, disease prevention and the psychosocial aspects of aging. Through the Geriatrics Center Social Work and Community Programs, older adults in our community can benefit from a wide array of health and continuing education, social and support services offered.
The geriatric population is growing and the University of Michigan Geriatrics Center has responded by becoming a national leader in this evolving field.

Cameron defends 'family of nations'
David Cameron evoked his own family's Scottish heritage as he delivered a heartfelt plea for Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom.
In his highest-profile intervention in the debate on Scottish independence, the Prime Minister warned that the world would lose "something very powerful and precious" if the UK's "family of nations" broke up forever.
But Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond accused Mr Cameron of making a "bogus" argument and repeated his challenge for the Prime Minister to agree to a head-to-head debate on the issue.
Mr Cameron called on the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland to send a message to Scotland as it prepares to vote on September 18: "We want you to stay."
Independence would be bad for Scotland but would also leave the United Kingdom "deeply diminished" and would "rip the rug from under our own reputation" in the world, Mr Cameron said.
He warned supporters of the union that they have only "seven months to save the most extraordinary country in history".
Separation would not only cost the UK some of its economic, political and diplomatic "clout" in the world, but would also tear up an "intricate tapestry" of human connections and relationships which mean that "for millions of people, there is no contradiction in being proud of your Scottishness, Englishness and Britishness - sometimes all at once".
Recalling that the name Cameron stems from the West Highlands, the Prime Minister said he was "proud" of his Scottish heritage and pointed out that the clan motto is "let us unite".
Mr Cameron defended the decision to deliver the speech in London, arguing that he was making the case for the rest of the UK to speak out on the issue and stressed that he would soon be visiting Scotland along with the entire UK Cabinet.
The Prime Minister has previously acknowledged that his image as a "Tory toff from the Home Counties" does not make him a good figurehead for the No campaign in the referendum debate.
But he said: "F rankly, I care far too much to stay out of it. This is personal.
"Our great United Kingdom - brave, brilliant, buccaneering, generous, tolerant, proud - this is our country.
"And we built it together. Brick by brick, Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, brick by brick.
"This is our home - and I could not bear to see that home torn apart. I love this country.
"I love the United Kingdom and all it stands for. And I will fight with all I have to keep us together."
Speaking in the velodrome where he watched Scottish cyclist Sir Chris Hoy win Olympic gold in 2012, Mr Cameron said the London Games were an example of the "power of collaboration" which has given the nations of the UK a big place in the world.
Name-checking UK-wide assets from the BBC, the NHS and the armed forces to the country's place in the UN Security Council, Nato and the G8, and cultural "icons" such as Sherlock Holmes, Emeli Sande and Scotch whisky, the Prime Minister said: "We come as a brand - a powerful brand.
"Separating Scotland out of that brand would be like separating the waters of the River Tweed and the North Sea.
"If we lost Scotland, if the UK changed, we would rip the rug from under our own reputation. The plain fact is, we matter more in the world together."
He said there was a moral case for preserving the union which had made the UK "a country that has never been cowed by bullies and dictators, a country that stands for something".
Citing the inspiration that Britain had given to fighters for freedom such as Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi, Mr Cameron said: " Our values are of value to the world. In the darkest times in human history there has been, in the North Sea, a light that never goes out.
"And if this family of nations broke up, something very powerful and precious would go out forever."
Mr Cameron acknowledged that many in England, Wales and Northern Ireland felt there was no place for them in the debate about Scottish independence, whether they were "quiet patriots" who thought there was little they could do to influence the outcome or "shoulder shruggers" who felt that separation would not matter much to life south of the border.
And he said there were "a few" who thought the rest of the UK would be better off without Scotland.
"All the above are wrong," said the Prime Minister. "We would be deeply diminished without Scotland."
But Mr Salmond accused the Prime Minister of being a member of an "out-of-touch Westminster elite" and insisted an independent Scotland would maintain close ties with the rest of the UK.
The SNP leader said: "This speech was a threadbare defence of the case for Westminster Tories retaining their undemocratic control over Scotland, which betrays the utter weakness of the Prime Minister's case.
"David Cameron said he will 'fight with all he has' against Scotland's independence - but that doesn't extend to having a head-to-head debate on the subject.
"The Prime Minister says his appeal today is to the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland - but his Government makes policy for of all of the UK, including Scotland, and he cannot keep dodging that debate.
"He has the perfect opportunity later this month when our respective cabinets are meeting in the Aberdeen area just a few miles apart on the same day, and I challenge him again to have that debate and let the people hear the arguments on each side."
Rejecting the emotional case for the union set out by Mr Cameron, the First Minister said: "An independent Scotland will be the best of friends and neighbours with the other nations of these islands, with the closest of family, cultural and business ties.
"The people of England would rather he turned his attentions to issues like the flooding in Somerset or the policies which see a growing wealth and equality gap between London and the rest of England, which an independent Scotland will help counterbalance."

Florida Georgia Line Prepare for Summer in 'Get Your Shine On' Video
It's never too early to start daydreaming about summer, right? If you've had it with dreary winter days, one look at Florida Georgia Line's vacation-themed 'Get Your Shine On' video will snap you out of the winter blues.
From the very first shot, 'Get Your Shine On' will have you thinking about summer vacation. The video opens with footage of an airplane landing -- and as soon the cameras cut to Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard playing their guitars in the water, you know that the clip is taking you to an oceanside paradise.
Of course, no beach-themed video would be complete without cute girls in bikinis, margaritas, jet skis and some play time in the waves. 'Get Your Shine On' has all of those things. The video doesn't exactly have a strong storyline, but just fun shots of the Florida Georgia Line boys hanging out and having a good time are good enough.
The four-minute clip seems just like any other summery country music video ... until two people dressed as wrestlers break onto the screen, that is. While Kelley and Hubbard are playing in the sand with some lovely ladies, two little people break up the party and wrestle the guys to the ground.
That strange sequence only lasts for a few seconds, though. As quickly as the wrestlers arrived to break up the party, they're gone, and the FGL guys are back to playing in the water and jamming out on their guitars.
'Get Your Shine On' is the second single from the band's 'Here's to the Good Times' album. The fun tune has hit No. 20 on the country charts and is sure to climb higher now that the music video has been unleashed.

Mohamed Momo, 58 years old with his family sheltered in Ozi camp. His house collapsed during the flooding. He is one of 400,000 people in eleven States in Nigeria who are struggling to recover from the worst flooding in 40 years.
Thousands of families are still sheltering in camps where the sleeping conditions are pathetic. They all want to go home but they don't know how. Without money and assistance it will be difficult to resume their lives.
By Nwakpa O. Nwakpa and Moustapha DialloMohamed Momo, 58, lives in the village of Ozahi, in Kogi State, and still finds it difficult to find the words to describe the nightmare he and his neighbours have lived through since heavy rains caused the local river to burst its banks in late August."Floodwaters invaded our houses and our village suddenly became a huge lake. We left with nothing in the middle of the night, as our main concern was to save our lives," he says. The water was so high, villagers had to use canoes to leave their homes.Mohamed is one of 400,000 people in 11 states in Nigeria who are struggling to recover from the worst flooding in 40 years. Several thousand people are currently living in tented communities, while others have crammed into schools, waiting for the support that will enable them to go home. Mohamed is one of them. "I have no means of rebuilding my house," he says.The threat of hunger is also looming in many communities affected by floods. Countless hectares of yam – a dietary staple for local people – and reserves of cereals have been ruined by the floods. Many livestock also died, seriously affecting livelihoods across the region. Clean water is in short supply, meaning the risk of disease is also becoming a concern. Umar Abdu Mairiga, Head of the Disaster Management Unit, at the Nigerian Red Cross Society, said the organization, with support from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is addressing some of the immediate needs. "We have decided to focus on water, sanitation and hygiene, health, temporary shelter, and distribution of relief materials to help meet the immediate needs of affected people in our 11 target states," he says.Stephen McAndrew, IFRC Head of Emergency Operations in Nigeria, says that needs in the region are so enormous that no one organization can provide solutions. "We need partnerships and funding, not only to respond to the emergency, but also to support longer-term interventions to increase community resilience," he says.The IFRC has launched an emergency appeal of 3.4 million Swiss francs (3.6 million US dollars) to support the relief operations. Funds raised will support 50,000 people for one year.

I was in charge of selecting a wall art as a Memorial for a member of a club. When I saw this picture, I knew it was perfect, as she loved hummingbirds. It is being donated to the Women's Shelter of Long Beach, as she was a victim of spousal abuse. My husband and I own several of John Yato's original watercolors. We love this picture. Is the original available?

MITCHELL - A former Dakota Wesleyan basketball player accused of raping a female student on campus has been indicted by a Davison County grand jury.
Kristopher Wilson faces a charge of felony third-degree rape. It carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
Court documents say the woman was extremely intoxicated and in and out of consciousness when Wilson had sex with her.
The Mitchell Daily Republic reports that Wilson posted bond and was released from jail on the condition he has no contact with the alleged victim.
Defense attorneys declined to comment.

I wasn't able to make it up for Brighton's opening day last week, but I was lucky enough to make it up this weekend. It was a super cold, sunny, Utah day and while the Mormons were praying in church many snowboarders were making turns. With only one lift open and a handful of runs, the majestic lift had a pretty good lift line. This was all good because I think everyone there was just as happy to hang out and bro down with old friends as they were to shred. Winter is back and people are excited. Jared Winkler and the park staff had all sorts of fun mini jibs for people to get warmed up on. The FODT/MFM and Friends crew were filming the riders messing around and getting warmed up so look out for a webisode coming soon.
Its not neck deep pow like the northwest but we are all stoked to just be riding again. If you live in SLC and have not been up to Brighton then get your shit together and come on up. Crest is going to open any day and the word is the mountains are going to get a huge dump this weekend. See you on the hill.

Bob Hope Airport officials approved additional parking rate increases this week to tackle steady revenue drops caused by declining passenger activity that's expected to be exacerbated by JetBlue's decision to eliminate all daytime flights at the airfield as of Jan. 6.
The decision will eliminate one daily flight to JFK International Airport in New York City and another to Las Vegas. JetBlue's evening service to JFK will continue.
A spokeswoman for the airline, Tamara Young, said in a statement that customer demand is "the ultimate factor in determining a route or flight schedule."
And despite cutbacks in Burbank, JetBlue's overall network continues to expand, Young said.
"Our ongoing commitment to the Los Angeles metro area remains strong, with plans to operate over 40 flights a day during peak," she said.
In addition to the Bob Hope Airport, Jet Blue operates six daily flights to JFK from Los Angeles International Airport and two from Long Beach.
The cutback at Bob Hope only adds to the pain felt when American Airlines withdrew completely from the airfield. Officials attributed a steep drop in passenger use and parking revenues this fall in large part to the American's departure.
Amid the prolonged month-after-month drops in parking revenues, the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority has been adjusting rates at its various lots in an attempt to maximize revenues from shrinking number of passengers using the airfield.
The latest round of increases, which will take effect on Jan. 15, include upping the daily rate at Lot B from $10 to $12 and bumping the rates for Lot E and valet parking from $21 to $23 a day.
The daily rate for Lot A will remain at $10 and it will still cost $31 day to use the parking structure.
The increases come after a daily rate hike for Lot C from $10 to $12, approved last month by the airport authority.
The rate hikes, officials said, are needed because monthly parking revenues have come in significantly below budget projections since February — a troubling trend given how important the income stream is for the airport.
All of the rate increases — along with Lot C — are expected to generate about $1.3 million a year, said Dan Feger, the airport's executive director.
The revenue boost, he added, "is very much needed revenue to offset the loss…we're expecting at the end of this year from parking compared to budget."
As for JetBlue customers who have daytime JFK flights that will be affected by the Jan. 6 change, Young said they will be given a $50-credit and have the option to be switched to the same day's evening service, re-booked to LAX or Long Beach departure or receive a refund or credit for a future flight.
Customers booked to fly from Burbank to Las Vegas will also be given a $50-credit plus the option to be re-booked to fly from Long Beach or receive a refund or a credit for a future JetBlue flight, she added.

Introducing al-Jazari's ancestry to modern cybernetics and robotics science, Prof. Toygar Akman narrates in this testimony article his own discovery of the work of the great 13th century Muslim scholar. He shows further how al-Jazari's mechanical achievements laid the ground to a proto science of robotics avant la lettre.
By Dr. Toygar Akman*
First of all, let me explain that I am not an Art Historian; nor am I an archeologist or an examiner of Islamic Art. I am merely an "Examiner of Cybernetics". As you may know, Cybernetics was started after World War II. It is a technical science, which examines the transfer and the balancing of information between machines and people, people and people, and machines and machines. In short it is known as, "control and communication within both animals and machines". Today, the technology of electronics, automated machines, tele-communication, electronic-control and the science of robotics are all products of Cybernetics. As I will explain next, the uncommon genius of al-Jazari has had a profound impact on this science going back to 800 years ago.
I have been interested in Cybernetics since 1960, but my most exciting event was the discovery of a very talented Turkish scientist during a trip to Diyarbakir in 1972. 800 years ago this scientist had created simple robots, which could perform several functions. I was thrilled to learn about a Turkish scientist who contributed to Cybernetics.
I excitedly imagined the possibilities: attending a conference in a foreign country on "Developments in Cybernetics," or "New Applications in Electronic Technology". If the topic came to the historical evolution of these developments, the participants would be likely to brag about their own scientists. For example, the French could say: "the first scientists of Cybernetics were Descartes and Blaise Pascal, because one of them had introduced the 'machine-animal model,' and the other had used the binary system in his invention, which is seen as the foundation of today's electronic data transfer."
A German could claim the first scientist in Cybernetics as the German philosopher Leibniz because of his 'automatic wheels,' which could add, subtract, multiply and divide.
A Brit could counterclaim that the first scientist to invent a calculator was professor Babbage. As a Turk, I would need to remain quiet.
Maybe some would be thinking, "Science has no country. It is for the good of everyone". They may be correct. Nevertheless, there is something, which should never be forgotten. When a famous scientist dies, his coffin is wrapped in his national flag. As the citizens march behind the coffin respectfully, with mixed emotions of pride and sorrow, they think: "this great scientist is one of ours". This was the kind of excitement I felt during my trip to Diyarbakir in 1972 [1].
It was a particularly cold winter week in Diyarbakir, when I was visiting this old city. The fog had grounded all the planes. The trains were not working on the frozen railroads. The weather conditions did not allow for people to go outside much at all. The only productive work I could do under these circumstances was to study the interesting structures in the city and do research in the library. My time at the library introduced me to a publication called Black-Amid (Amid was Diyarbakir's old name.) I started looking through the 2nd issue in volume 2 and I noticed an article by Ibrahim Hakki Konyali titled "Turkish palaces used machines eight centuries ago." As I read through the pages, I learned about the scientist named Abu 'l-'Izz al-Jazari, who served his masters through "automatic machines" and "various robotics." The same article also stated that the original book written by al-Jazari was kept at Istanbul's Topkapi Palace, at Ahmed III's Library, and that another hand-written copy was at the library at Aya Sophia, which had 66 pages stolen [2].
Upon return to Istanbul from Diyarbakir, I immediately went to Ahmed III's Library at Topkapi Palace. I found the book registered under number 3472. Since the 'language of science' used in Artuk Turks' palace in the 13th century was Arabic, the book was also written in Arabic. (This was similar to how the 'language of science' used by the Selcuk Turks in Konya was Persian and it was Latin in the Western cultures.) The title of the book read in Arabic Kitab al-Jami' bayn al-'ilm wa-'l-'amal an-nafi' fi sina'a al-hiyal. This could be translated as "The Book of the Science and the Art of the Making Automated Tools" [3].
I felt a deep feeling of pride as I turned the pages of this 800-year old book, which had established the basic principles of Cybernetics around "adjustment systems around stability". My book on Cybernetics, Evolution in Science was in print at the time. I decided to stop the print so that I could add a few paragraphs about the very interesting work by Abu 'l-'Izz and my efforts to get his book translated as soon as possible. My book got published later in 1972 and I had the pleasure of being the first person to introduce al-Jazari to our nation [4].
While I continued to plead with my friends in the academic field to get this book translated, I also explained my finding to the authorities at TUBITAK and suggested that one of the automatic machines be built as a statue. My article on this subject was first published in the Science and Techniques Magazine (April 1974, issue no. 77), and the picture of an automated machine used for Muslims to wash up before prayers was used on the magazine's cover [5].
In this automated system the whole artuc assembly is placed in front of the king. Water is poured into the castle. This continues in an automatic system until the water in the castle is almost exhausted, whereupon the duck drinks all the water that is in the basin. Upon this the robot holds out his left hand with the towel and comb, Artuc Kings dries then themselves and use the comb then put them back into his hand.
|Figure 2: This illustration is explained in detail in Donald Hill's translation of al-Jazari's book, The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices (Reidel, 1974), pp. 107-109 (the fig. is on p. 107).
Later on in the same year, I proudly attended the meeting on "Electro-Technological Developments" in Brussels, and presented my findings. Right before I went to Brussels, Donald R. Hill from UK had printed his book in Dordrecht, Holland titled The Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices. His book introduced the works of al-Jazari in English to a much wider audience. Furthermore, because Donald R. Hill was an engineer as well as an art historian, he was able to explain al-Jazari's works of automatic systems through drawings. I thank Mr. Hill for giving us the opportunity to look at al-Jazari's systems through the perspective of cybernetics.
A year later, in 1975, my book titled Automation System and Data Banks included works of al-Jazari: "the pictures of automated tools and automated robots as well as their explanations" [6]. In 1976, my second article explaining the systems set up by al-Jazari was published in the Science and Techniques Magazine (103rd issue), which also displayed the 'Automated Bird Clock' on its cover [7].
|Figure 3: Automatic Horseman and Musicians Tool, a leaf detached from al-Jazari's treatise displayed in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Islamic Arts section.
In the following years, the excitement of al-Jazari spread all around the country. TUBITAK asked that I speak to a group of award winning students on November 24, 1976 on our now famous scientist and his works. My speech got published in the magazine's 113th issue in full [8].
Many years later, I was visiting the Metropolitan Museum in New York. In the Islamic Arts section, I was saddened to see two pages from al-Jazari's hand-written book on display complete with colorful pictures. One page was showing the "Automatic Tool with Elephant and Bird." The other was showing the "Automatic Horseman and Musicians Tool."
I wondered why the display only showed pages from a book instead of the entire book. I could not help but be suspicious of whether or not these were from the stolen pages, which I had read about in Ibrahim Hakki Konyali's article in Black-Ami in Diyarbakir in 1972.
I thought the caption under the pages on display was also rather interesting as it explained the visuals as the works of "Al Jazari, Muslim Engineer, who lived during the 13th century Egyptian Memluk Sultanate".
|Figure 4: Drawing from W. Ross Ashby, Design for a Brain: The Origin of Adaptive Behavior, Chapman & Hall, 1952; reedited Wiley, 2nd edition, 1960, see related section on pp. 205-214.
I cannot do justice to explaining the importance of al-Jazari, without talking about the thinking of contemporary scientist of Cybernetics, Ross Ashby. Professor Ashby is a medical doctor. He observed that within a human organism, the balancing process between different organs was controlled by a more sophisticated data processing center. He called this "ultrastability".
In his book titled Design For A Brain, Ashby explains his theory through a drawing. The areas (A) and (B), and (B) and (C) are directly linked to one another. Ashby indicates that even though (A) and (C) do not have such a direct relation, they are connected through (B), which serves as an intermediary. This is not a continuous, but an extremely sophisticated intermittent system, but one that establishes "ultrastability." The ultrastability system is applicated in the high technology robotics today.
|Figure 5: Original illustration of the boat robot, taken from al-Jazari's book al-Jami' (Topkapi Palace, Ahmet III Library, MS. 3472).
If we compare Professor Ashby's explanations to the process followed in one of al-Jazari's inventions, namely, "the automated musicians in the automatically moving boat", then we can see that our scientist from Cizre had also achieved "ultrastability" in his work. The musicians on the boat start playing their instruments once the water flows from a tank in the boat, which subsequently initiates movement for the dancers. The flow of water also sets the oarsman in motion, whose rowing moves the boat forward.
This shows that al-Jazari had clearly established a process of movement and balance between multiple systems. It is noteworthy to explain that if Eb-Ul-Iz had a slightly different design, and instead of the oarsman, he had used wheels connected to a propeller in the back of the boat set into motion by the running water, then he could have been the first scientist to move an object through the use of a propeller.
Another great piece of work by this scientist is seen in his "Automatic Elephant Clock." There are several actions set in motion every hour. As the water builds up in a tank, it eventually reaches a level, which sets off a ball dropped from a hawk's beak into the mouth of a snake, and the rider sitting on top strikes the elephant as a result. The water tank starts to fill up again and the series of actions are repeated in the following hour.
A similar mechanical process is displayed in his "Entertainment Center," which serves drinks, again through the use of a series of motions set by flowing water.
As displayed in all these devices, al-Jazari used only the force of water and the power of air pressure to build his systems 800 years ago.
His works could be seen as the path to today's robotics, even though they were built in an era with absolutely no knowledge of electrons, photons and positrons each containing data units and electro magnetic fields.
These are all examples of "control and communication systems" in today's cybernetics and technology of robotics. We cannot help but conclude that al-Jazari's thinking had planted the seeds to today's science of robotics 800 years ago!

Chambers number 2 walks out of Cisco
CEO wannabe Giancarlo not a team player
Cisco number two Charles Giancarlo, who was widely tipped to become the firm's next CEO, has resigned.
The network giant said yesterday that a rejig of the organisation's business was underway to shift from a "command and control" structure to a team-led approach.
Cisco CEO John Chambers said that he had hired a group of execs to oversee acquisitions and business deals at the firm.
The so-called "development council" will replace Giancarlo who leaves Cisco at the end of the year.
Explaining his decision to quit, 50-year-old Giancarlo told reporters in a conference call yesterday that Cisco's management restructure did not fit with his ambitions to be at the helm of a company.
He will join Silicon Valley investment firm Silver Lake early next year.
Chambers said in a statement: "As we build Cisco into a next-generation company, we will transition from a company that is driven from command and control to one that is built on teamwork and collaboration."
While the statements from Chambers and Giancarlo were measured, in keeping with Cisco's steady as she goes attitude, the news has sent waves through the industry, with words like "turmoil" being bandied around by the likes of the FT.
Certainly, some will see the shift from an orderly succession to a "development council" as a recipe for instability as execs inevitably jockey for their place in line for the top job.®

A touch of the political will be
introduced on the campus Mar.
19 to 23. Bethel students will have
an opportunity to listen to and
interact with a variety of speakers.
Tuesday at 9 p.m. Dr. Walfred
Peterson will present a discussion
on "The Need for Political Acti-vity"
in Edgren lounge.
On Wednesday, Mr. Robert S.
Bryan, assistant director of the
Public Information Division of the
Peace Corps, will speak at a 10
a.m. convocation on "The Peace
Corps—A New Approach to For-eign
Affairs." Mr. Bryan will be
available through the day for in-dividual
interviews which may be
scheduled through the student af-fairs
office, and for meetings with
classes and faculty. He will also
lead an informal discussion in Ed-gren
lounge Wednesday night.
Bethel's politicians will have a
chance to campaign at a rally
Thursday night.
Mr. C. E. Carlson, former dean
of Bethel, who is presently execu-tive
director of the Baptist Joint
Committee on Public Affairs, will
be presented at the two convoca-tions
on Friday at 10 a.m. and S
p.m. His topic will be "The Church
as a Political Pressure Group" in
the morning and "The Status of
Religion in the U.S." in the even-ing.
Following the evening convo-cation
there will be a coffee hour
for faculty and students.
Marilyn Benson, academic com-mittee
chairman, explains, "In the
past, Political Emphasis Week at
Bethel has been dominated by cam-pus
politics and student senate
elections. Although these are still
our concerns, there is need for an
awareness and concern in broader
areas of politics. The academic
committee hopes that the events
of the week will provide oppor-tunities
for students to become in-formed
in a wide range of political
"It is well to plan ahead for
summer employment," says Eugene
Sprinkel, assistant dean of stu-dents.
As an aid for students, the stu-dent
affairs office has consider-able
information on available sum-mer
Most work is involved with
camps, parks, resorts, and com-munity
centers. However, the of-fice
has three national directories
with listings of job opportunities
in all states.
A variety of musical moods and
motifs are contrasted in the next
presentation of the "First Suite in
E-flat for Miltary Band" by Gus-tav
Holst. Spotlighted in the
themes of the three movements
are the low brass, woodwinds, and
The American composer, Leroy
Anderson, famous for his lighter
music, will be represented in his
"Irish Suite." This series of folk
tunes featuring "Minstrel Boy,"
"Rakes of Mallow," "The Girl I
Left Behind Me," and "Irish Wash-erwoman,"
uses intricate melody
and rhythmic variation and inter-play.
Sacred music is represented in
William Latham's "Three Choral
Preludes," in which the Christian
experience is portrayed in three
sections—"Break Forth, 0 Beau-teous
Heavenly Light," "0 Sacred
Head Now Wounded," and "Now
Thank We All Our God."
Other selections include "Espana
Rhapsody" and "Variations on a
Shaker Melody." No admission will
be charged for the program.
Students to
Donate Blood
The B-Club is sponsoring the
American Red Cross Bloodmobile
Mar. 27 in the basement of Edgren
Students under 21 will receive
permission forms in their post of-fice
boxes which must be signed
by parent or guardian and return-ed
by Mar. 27.
All students in good health are
urged to take part. Because Bethel
participates in this program, all
students and their immediate fami-lies
may receive blood from the
Red Cross free of charge, regard-less
of whether they donate blood
or not.
Anderson Leads
Second of Series
Dr. Elving Anderson, former
professor of zoology at Bethel and
now associate director of Dight
Institute of Cancer Research at
the University of Minnesota, will
lead a discussion on "Man's Bio-logical
Nature and Mental Health"
tonight at 9:00 in Edgren Lounge.
This is the second of two such
meetings sponsored by the aca-demic
committee of the student
senate. The first was held on Mar.
1 and centered around "The Chris-tian
Perspective in Research."
College Senior Placement Exami-nations
are open to all U.S. citi-zens

Niebuhr Sets Revelation
Within Christian Context
Dear Editor:
I am deeply disturbed by the
intellectual stagnation a student
of the social sciences seems to find
invariably on a small campus. I
find in talking with students at
Bethel that while we bat around
the names of Veblen, Lippmann,
and Montesquieu and that endless
list of thinkers that have pro-foundly
affected our thoughts we
are guilty of gross ignorance. We
don't know their concepts; we
hardly know their names.
At the same time we are con-stantly
decrying the reams of
papers, readings, and other inde-pendent
study projects which we
are required to produce.
Bethel would do well to have an
organization to meet regularly and
discuss particular problems, con-cepts,
and men who are important
to these related fields. A student
writing a paper on "Pacifism" in
an International Relations course
might be invited to read it before
the group and answer questions
and participate in discussion.
Discussion breeds inspiration,
and inspiration in turn can be har-nassed
to yield productive student
thought. In this manner student
interest in the social sciences could
be kindled to forge a dramatically
inspired and informed campus.
Personal involvement would be
the key to this group success and
I feel that its possibilities are
There is talk of pedantry and
pseudo-intellectualism on campus,
I suggest that an organization of
the type I have mentioned might
drown that element out and re-place
it with hard core diligence
and sincerity of purpose.
A spiritually sensitive and scho-lastically
stable endeavor with pur-pose
and design could become a
real service for any interested stu-dent.
I have presented here what I
believe to be a need. Now I am
interested that our students pon-der
the idea and consider its po-tential.
If response is positive, we
could start immediately to lay the
ground work and hold our first
meeting before mid-semester.
Paul Carlson
Dear Editor:
On the evening of Feb. 25, in
"the Bodien," a gross and injurious
miscarriage of justice occurred. I
feel it is my duty to write about
this matter, as this was not an iso-lated,
one-of-its-kind incident, but
to the contrary has been preceded
by a multitude of similar occasions
and will no doubt be repeated with
alarming frequency if nothing is
done to rectify this wrong.
To say it plainly and without
further ado—I was campused! You
are probably chuckling to yourself
and thinking I well deserved it.
But you are mistaken! It was a
grevious wrong, and anyone would
have to admit this upon hearing
the circumstances (exempting, per-haps,
the powers that be on the
Dorm Council).
It seems I was just typing in my
room a few itsy-bitsy minutes
after the "cease-activities signal."
It couldn't have been even twelve
minutes. And what makes me even,
by Dr. Clarence Bass
The basis of knowledge in the
twentieth century, asserts H.
Richard Niebuhr, is rooted in the
rule of historical relativism.
Arising out of the rationalism
of the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, reason seemingly had
made supernatural revelation ap-pear
to be an issue out of the past,
utterly out of date, and even detri-mental
in that it tended to under-mine
the progressive victories of
reason. Reason, however, became
such a supreme rule of life that it
soon superceded itself. The skep-ticism
that had once usurped the
authority of revelation had now
turned its guns against reason.
As a result, the dilemma between
reason and revelation was created.
While it is to weed out supersti-tions,
reason, asserts Niebuhr, has
no right in seeking to overthrow
the religious domain. As long as
reason seeks to make itself su-preme,
it will inevitably fail in its
Einstein's theory of relativity—
that the spatio-temporal point of
LETTERS (cont'd.)
more bitter was that I commited
this heinous crime quite uninten-tionally,
for I was so engrossed in
the English theme that I was just
completing (as a matter of fact I
had completed when the monitor
appeared on the scene) that I
didn't realize how late it was. Now
I ask you: does this constitute a
crime ?
As my punishment, I had to sit
in my room in lonely solitude Fri-day
night, when all the other in-mates
had 12 o'clock lates, and
watch my carefree classmates
bounce happily off to our class
party. Oh the injustice of it all!
And I almost wonder if that great
and sacrosanct activity known as
the CAMPUS isn't some kind of a
psychological gladiator sport.
Before I close I would like to
call to the attention of the powers
that be that verse from Romans
which says something to the
thought that the letter of the law
Karen Nelson
view of an observer enters into his
knowledge of reality—is the basis
of historical relativity, says Nie-buhr,
and is in the last analysis
the only basis of knowledge.
Applied to theology, this means
that the historical position of the
individual condition his views con-cerning
history, philosophical ideas
and religious dogma. These are
always relative to the observer.
In Christianity, if one stands
outside of the faith, he can not
come to understand the faith. He
occupies a different point of view.
In order to understand the Chris-tian
faith he must occupy the same
general viewpoint. This viewpoint
is the faith that characterizes
Christians. The theologian also
must begin with the historic faith,
and in so doing he is starting with
revelation, for the Christian faith
seen in history is revelation.
This, according to Niebuhr, does
not mean that we do not have to
retreat to earlier modes of thought
in the 'history of Christianity, for
the theologians of the past endea-vored
to express the Christian
faith from their own point of view.
The faith of the members of the
Council of Nicea is what we have
in common with them, not their
historical movement.
We must seek to express the
same truth concerning the revela-tion
of God in Christ in our own
terms as seen from our point of
view in history. As Niebuhr puts
it, "one can speak meaningfully
and significantly about God only
from the point of view of faith in
Him." This means that the theo-logian's
job is to ask what revela-tion
means for Christians, not what
it ought to mean for all men.
Revelation occurs, therefore,
when Scripture is read from a point
of view and in the context of
Christian history. If we are to find
revelation in the Scriptures, we are
to read the gospel stories with the
mind of the writers. As the reader
views the Scripture from the per-spective
of historical relativism by
reading them backwards through
history, they become revelation.
And as they are read by the eye
of faith, and, as much as possible,
with the mind of the Biblical writ-er,
their real meaning of revela-tion
is understood.
Niebuhr does not therefore view
the Scripture as revelation, but as
an avenue to which the individual
may come to revelation through
the perspective of historical revela-tion.
Without a belief in the ob-jective
revelation of the Scripture,
Niebuhr can have no objective
revelation, only subjective relativ-ism.

Honors Program Urged
For Enriched Learning
"Academic excellence" has long been an expressed standard of
Bethel education. The school's policy has been to accept students cap-able
of liberal arts training, within limitations set by finances and
facilities. Once accepted, all students are expected to follow somewhat
the same educational paths.
In the process of education, many students with lower grade points
are aided by extended probationary periods or special help. The seg-ment
of students with high academic records is seemingly ignored; while
these students are recognized by honors scholarships, the general con-census
of opinion seems to be that they should use excess abilities in
student leadership capacities rather than being challenged and aided in
reaching greater academic achievements.
Bethel may not be capitalizing upon its educational advantages. The
smallness of the group of students working in an honors program would
engender greater interaction between individual faculty members and
the students under them. Flexibility is another characteristic of Bethel's
small size that can be useful in tailoring an honors program to the indi-vidual
student's needs.
The institution of an honors program need not be the occasion of
great financial expenditure. The aim of such a program must be a
cultivation and enrichment of opportunities currently available to the
unusually able student. This would mainly involve faculty guidance to
gain greater breadth and depth in a field. The program could be ar-ranged
so that students would work on different aspects of the same
problem; seminars would then be invaluable learning experiences. How-ever,
faculty participation in an honors program cannot be considered
an extracurricular activity, but must be part of the teaching load.
This is not a plea for greater recognition of academic achievement.
Acknowledgement of honors achievements must be secondary to the
program and only extended for truly outstanding, creative work.
Bethel administrators have been aware that the school must even-tually
"grow" its own professors in view of the quality of Christian
commitment desired. An honors program would facilitate meeting this
eventual need as well as developing graduates that may skillfully repre-sent
Bethel's goals to a broader complex than the conference environ-ment.
It is hoped that serious consideration will be given to this pro-posal
by administration and faculty committees concerned with the
matter. Pressure for institution of an honors program is also in the
legitimate jurisdiction of student action.

College educations seem like
grueling ordeals to many college
students in the United States.
Rarely does a student care to even
think of having his problems corn-pounded
by lack of shelter, lack
of food, or no textbooks available.
However, the latter conditions
prevail in many countries. The
World University Service, working
through national committees in
forty-one countries, attempts to
coordinate efforts and contribu-tions
of students and faculty mem-bers
by channeling assistance that
can ease the need.
WUS projects have included
building student dormitories in
Latin America and India; provid-ing
scholarships and loans for
Hungarian refugee students; help-ing
Algerian students completing
college girls' clothes
for every occasion
and snelling
their education in Europe and
Chinese students in Hong Kong;
purchasing printing equipment for
publishing work in Israel.
The Bethel student senate will
soon be voting on a proposal to
cooperate with WUS. This affilia-tion
can only be valuable to Bethel
students as they share in educat-ing
the leaders of the many new
countries with latent power. Co-operation
with WUS may be a
wise and educational use of finan-ces
and interest, as well as pro-viding
the opportunity to express
world-wide concern.

A basketball game, reportedly
prompted by a rift in relations be-tween
the student senate and the
faculty and administration, will be
played on Saturday, Mar. 10, in
Bethel's fieldhouse. Although no
formal announcement of grievances
has been made, it is understood
that a plastic coffee cup is involv-ed.
After suffering humiliating de-feats
in the last two encounters,
the student senate seems deter-mined
for revenge. Coach Dick
Larson made it known that a sec-ret
practice has been held to for-mulate
a defense to counter the
peculiar threats of the faculty-ad-ministration
attack. Larson is con-fident
that the faculty is too old
and soft to make the game excit-ing,
and is sure that only their
platoon system of substitution will
make it possible for them to finish.
When asked about the outcome
of the past games, Larson knowing-ly
stated, "Personalities on the
senate squad this year are different
from those in other years, and we
are certain that the referees and
scorekeepers for this game are
much more reliable than those in
previous years." No other senator
was willing to comment.
In spite of the poor showing the
faculty has made in the intra-mural
league, they are apparently
still confident of victory. Out-standing
personnel, such as player-coach
Eugene Sprinkel, Webster
Muck, Walfred Peterson, and scor-ing
and rebounding ace Gerald
Healy, feel ready to get into ac-tion.
Healy warned that the game
will be rather dull, since the out-come
is a foregone conclusion, but
if the students have nothing else
to do, they might as well come to
the fieldhouse and see the senators
Other events for the evening in-clude
a volleyball game between
women of the student senate and
the faculty, a basketball game be-tween
the intra-mural all-stars and
the seminary, and an exhibition by
the Koffee Kup drill team.

In case you didn't know, the Bethel basketball season is over, and
the Badger-Gopher conference has dissolved. The dissolution of the
conference breaks the hearts of very few people, but student support of
the basketball teams has, at times this season been rather dishearten-ing.
The common excuse of reluctance to watch a losing team just
doesn't seem to hold water.
By the way, Northland and Lakeland tied for the final Badger-
Gopher crown with 9-1 records when Lakeland mauled the Lumberjacks
94-79 on Feb. 24, after Northland had handed the Muskies their only
conference setback in an earlier meeting. John Bell, who Bethel re-members
only too well, surpassed his previous conference high of 31
points (against Bethel) by scoring 48 to pace the Lakeland win.
Basketball road trips usually mean a good time, even when a team
wins only one of nine road games. Some first-hand and second-hand

Cage Season
Finale Seals
Royal Slump
by Rick McNamara
Three defeats spiced with a lone
win brought the 1961-1962 Bethel
basketball season to a sagging halt
as the Royals dropped to a 7-13
record, including a 4-6 mark in
Badger-Gopher competition.
The best effort of the final four
contests was, sadly enough, a los-ing
one as the Royals gave Moor-head
State a stiff battle before
bowing 69-61 on Feb. 16. Lee Bajun-iemi
played another outstanding
game and led Bethel scoring with
18 points, while Dan Westerlund
added 12.
The sole win of the four games
came Feb. 21 in the annual
Founders Week game against
Northwestern of Minneapolis, when
the Royals won a ragged 70-55
ball game.
The final weekend in Feb. saw
the Royals take a very unhappy
trip to Wisconsin where they were
surprisingly dumped by North-western
of Watertown and Milton.
The Friday night contest against
Northwestern was a coach's night-mare
as the team went into a total
dry spell and collected only seven
points during the first 10 minutes
of play. Pete Franzmann led
Northwestern to a 75-67 victory.
Saturday night the Royals trav-eled
to Milton to face a much im-proved
squad of Wildcats who were
out to avenge Bethel's 79-59 win
on Jan. 19. Avenge it they did, as
the Royals blew a game-long lead
in the final minutes to lose 66-63.
A come-from-behind 30-29 win
over SPBI on Mar. 1 ended the
season of the Bethel Royalettes on
a happy note. The victory avenged
a 46-34 setback from SPBI suf-fered
only two nights before the
final victory.
Nancy Gustafson scored 14
points to rally John Holmberg's
charges from 20-11 and 25-19 half-time
and third-quarter deficits, but
it was Carolyn Erickson's basket
in the final seconds that assured
victory. The losing effort against
SPBI was led by Gladys Holm-berg's
21 points.
Another complete reversal in
form was evidenced in the two
Pillsbury games, with the Royal-ettes
winning the first 27-24 be-hind
Gustafson's 20 points, while
a week later a patch-work squad
travelled to Pillsbury and absorb-ed
a 58-29 setback.
The final victory enabled the
Royalettes to finish an abbreviated
schedule with a 3-3 record as they
divided two games with North-western,
in addition to the Pills-bury
and SPBI splits.
Gustafson scored a total of 97

8-Squad Ends
Poor Season
With Victory
by Bob Beckstrom
Coach Gene Glader's charges
wound up the season with a 63-52
win over Minnesota Bible College.
The win, however, is not indicative
of the season's performance, as
the B-squad wound up with a 4-9
This unimpressive record takes
on a new light, Glader explains,
when we consider that five of the
losses were to MIAC powerhouses
(Macalester-2, Hamline-2, Augs-burg-
1). Had the squad not com-peted
against teams out of their
class, they may have had a win-ning
Glader points out, however, that
the biggest reason for the poor
record is poor shooting. Bethel
made only 32% of its shots, against
the opponents' 37.6%.
One bright spot in the picture is
the outstanding performance of
George Munchow. Capitalizing on
40% of his shots, highest for the
team, and leading in the defensive
rebound department with 51,
George consistently contributed to
the team's efforts.
Gene Lindaman, who scored 20
points in the Minnesota Bible col-lege
game, led the team with a
66% free throw percentage.

Lost finally returns to television on January 31st, and if you haven't seen the show or are in need of a refresher course in the form of a slap in the face, then check out the above video where you'll be treated to a recap of the entire show so far in 8 minutes and 15 seconds. Get it?
Well, if you haven't seen the show, then we doubt you'll "get it", but for the uninitiated out there, 815 was also the flight number of the Oceanic flight that crashed onto the island. We'd also forgotten about the four-toed giant statue... what the hell does that thing mean? Plus we love how they say Mr. Friendly throws like a girl because he most certainly does.
In the future, we wouldn't mind having all television shows and movies given to us this way. They've compressed 69 hours of Lost down to 8 minutes, and kept most of the pertinent facts that you need to know intact. At this rate, we could also watch every episode of Heroes, Battlestar Galactica, and the entire run of Planet of the Apes (both the movies and the television show) in an hour. Our brain might not survive the onslaught, but think of all the time we'd save. Plus it would make commercials entirely subliminal, which would thrill the advertisers. How can you skip past what you don't even know what you've seen?
Capsulized television. Bring it on.
