Asian Americans and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots/Uprising
Shelley Sang-Hee Lee
Although the 1992 Los Angeles riots have been described as a "race riot" sparked by the acquittals of a group of mostly white police officers charged with excessively beating black motorist Rodney King, the widespread targeting and destruction of Asian-owned (mainly Korean) property in and around South Central Los Angeles stands out as one of the most striking aspects of the uprising. For all the commentary generated about the state of black-white relations, African American youths, and the decline of America's inner cities, the riots also gave many Americans their first awareness of the presence of a Korean immigrant population in Southern California, a large number of Korean shop owners, and the existence of what was commonly framed as the "black-Korean conflict." For Korean Americans, and Asian Americans more generally, the Los Angeles riots represented a shattered "American dream" and brought focus to their tenuous hold on economic mobility and social inclusion in a society fraught by racial and ethnic tension. The riots furthermore marked a turning point that placed Asian immigrants and Asian Americans at the center of new conversations about social relations in a multiracial America, the place of new immigrants, and the responsibilities of relatively privileged minorities toward the less privileged.
Jazz, Blues, and Ragtime in America, 1900–1945
Court Carney
In January 1938, Benny Goodman took command of Carnegie Hall on a blustery New York City evening and for two hours his band tore through the history of jazz in a performance that came to define the entire Swing Era. Goodman played Carnegie Hall at the top of his jazz game leading his crack band—including Gene Krupa on drums and Harry James on trumpet—through new, original arrangements by Fletcher Henderson. Compounding the historic nature of the highly publicized jazz concert, Goodman welcomed onto the stage members of Duke Ellington's band to join in on what would be the first major jazz performance by an integrated band. With its sprit of inclusion as well as its emphasis on the historical contours of the first decades of jazz, Goodman's Carnegie Hall concert represented the apex of jazz music's acceptance as the most popular form of American musical expression. In addition, Goodman's concert coincided with the resurgence of the record industry, hit hard by the Great Depression. By the late 1930s, millions of Americans purchased swing records and tuned into jazz radio programs, including Goodman's own show, which averaged two million listeners during that period.
And yet, only forty years separated this major popular triumph and the very origins of jazz music. Between 1900 and 1945, American musical culture changed dramatically; new sounds via new technologies came to define the national experience. At the same time, there were massive demographic shifts as black southerners moved to the Midwest and North, and urban culture eclipsed rural life as the norm. America in 1900 was mainly a rural and disconnected nation, defined by regional identities where cultural forms were transmitted through live performances. By the end of World War II, however, a definable national musical culture had emerged, as radio came to link Americans across time and space. Regional cultures blurred as a national culture emerged via radio transmissions, motion picture releases, and phonograph records. The turbulent decade of the 1920s sat at the center of this musical and cultural transformation as American life underwent dramatic changes in the first decades of the 20th century.
Jazz in America after 1945
John Gennari
In the post-1945 period, jazz moved rapidly from one major avant-garde revolution (the birth of bebop) to another (the emergence of free jazz) while developing a profusion of subgenres (hard bop, progressive, modal, Third Stream, soul jazz) and a new idiomatic persona (cool or hip) that originated as a form of African American resistance but soon became a signature of transgression and authenticity across the modern arts and culture. Jazz's long-standing affiliation with African American urban life and culture intensified through its central role in the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s. By the 1970s, jazz, now fully eclipsed in popular culture by rock n' roll, turned to electric instruments and fractured into a multitude of hyphenated styles (jazz-funk, jazz-rock, fusion, Latin jazz). The move away from acoustic performance and traditional codes of blues and swing musicianship generated a neoclassical reaction in the 1980s that coincided with a mission to establish an orthodox jazz canon and honor the music's history in elite cultural institutions. Post-1980s jazz has been characterized by tension between tradition and innovation, earnest preservation and intrepid exploration, Americanism and internationalism.
The 1960s
Robert O. Self
Few decades in American history reverberate with as much historical reach or glow as brightly in living mythology as the 1960s. During those years Americans reanimated and reinvented the core political principles of equality and liberty but, in a primal clash that resonates more than half a century later, fiercely contested what those principles meant, and for whom. For years afterward, the decade's appreciators considered the era to have its own "spirit," defined by greater freedoms and a deeper, more authentic personhood, and given breath by a youthful generation's agitation for change in nearly every dimension of national life. To its detractors in subsequent decades, the era was marked by immature radical fantasies and dangerous destabilizations of the social order, behind which lay misguided youthful enthusiasms and an overweening, indulgent federal government. We need not share either conviction to appreciate the long historical shadow cast by the decade's clashing of left, right, and center and its profound influence over the political debates, cultural logics, and social practices of the many years that followed.
The decade's political and ideological clashes registered with such force because post–World War II American life was characterized by a society-wide embrace of antiradicalism and a prescribed normalcy. Having emerged from the war as the lone undamaged capitalist industrial power, the United States exerted enormous influence throughout the globe after 1945—so much that some historians have called the postwar years a "pax Americana." In its own interest and in the interest of its Western allies, the United States engaged in a Cold War standoff with the Soviet Union over the fate of Europe and no less over the fate of developing countries on every continent. Fiercely anticommunist abroad and at home, U.S. elites stoked fears of the damage communism could do, whether in Eastern Europe or in a public school textbook. Americans of all sorts in the postwar years embraced potent ideologies justifying the prevailing order, whether that order was capitalist, patriarchal, racial, or heterosexual. They pursued a postwar "normalcy" defined by nuclear family domesticity and consumer capitalism in the shadow cast by the threat of communism and, after 1949, global thermonuclear war with the Soviet Union. This prevailing order was stultifying and its rupture in the 1960s is the origin point of the decade's great dramas.
The social movements of that decade drew Americans from the margins of citizenship—African Americans, Latina/o, Native Americans, women, and gay men and lesbians, among others—into epochal struggles over the withheld promise of equality. For the first time since 1861, an American war deeply split the nation, nearly destroying a major political party and intensifying a generational revolt already under way. Violence, including political assassinations at the highest level, bombings and assassinations of African Americans, bombings by left-wing groups like the Weathermen, and major urban uprisings by African Americans against police and property bathed the country in more blood. The New Deal liberalism of Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman reached its postwar peak in 1965 under President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and then retreated amid acrimony and backlash, as a new conservative politics gained traction. All this took place in the context of a "global 1960s," in which societies in Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and elsewhere experienced similar generational rebellions, quests for meaningful democracy, and disillusionment with American global hegemony. From the first year of the decade to the last, the 1960s were a watershed era that marked the definitive end of a "postwar America" defined by easy Cold War dualities, presumptions of national innocence, and political calcification.
To explain the foregoing, this essay is organized in five sections. First comes a broad overview of the decade, highlighting some of its indelible moments and seminal political events. The next four sections correspond to the four signature historical developments of the 1960s. Discussed first is the collapse of the political consensus that predominated in national life following World War II. We can call this consensus "Vital Center liberalism," after the title of a 1949 book by Arthur Schlesinger Jr., or "Cold War liberalism." Its assault from both the New Left and the New Right is one of the defining stories of the 1960s. Second is the resurgence, after a decades-long interregnum dating to Reconstruction, of African American political agency. The black freedom struggle of the 1960s was far more than a social movement for civil rights. To shape the conditions of national life and the content of public debate in ways impossible under Jim Crow, black American called for nothing less than a spiritual and political renewal of the country. Third, and following from the latter, is the emergence within the American liberal tradition of a new emphasis on expanding individual rights and ending invidious discrimination. Forged in conjunction with the black freedom movement by women, Latino/as, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and homophiles (as early gay rights activists were called) and gay liberationists, this new emphasis profoundly changed American law and set the terms of political debate for the next half century. Fourth and lastly, the 1960s witnessed the flourishing of a broad and diverse culture of anti-authoritarianism. In art, politics, and social behavior, this anti-authoritarianism took many forms, but at its heart lay two distinct historical phenomena: an ecstatic celebration of youth, manifest in the tension between the World War II generation and the baby boom generation, and an intensification of the long-standing conflict in American life between individualism and hierarchical order.
Despite the disruptions, rebellions, and challenges to authority in the decade, the political and economic elite proved remarkably resilient and preserved much of the prevailing order. This is not to discount the foregoing account of challenges to that order or to suggest that social change in the 1960s made little difference in American life. However, in grappling with this fascinating decade we are confronted with the paradox of outsized events and enormous transformations in law, ideology, and politics alongside a continuation, even an entrenchment, of traditional economic and political structures and practices.
Spatial Segregation and Neighborhoods
Carl Nightingale
During the 1890s, the word segregation became the preferred term for the practice of coercing different groups of people, especially those designated by race, to live in separate and unequal urban residential neighborhoods. In the southern states of the United States, segregationists imported the word—originally used in the British colonies of Asia—to describe Jim Crow laws, and, in 1910, whites in Baltimore passed a "segregation ordinance" mandating separate black and white urban neighborhoods. Copy-cat legislation sprang up in cities across the South and the Midwest. But in 1917, a multiracial team of lawyers from the fledgling National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) mounted a successful legal challenge to these ordinances in the U.S. Supreme Court—even as urban segregation laws were adopted in other places in the world, most notably in South Africa. The collapse of the movement for legislated racial segregation in the United States occurred just as African Americans began migrating in large numbers into cities in all regions of the United States, resulting in waves of anti-black mob violence. Segregationists were forced to rely on nonstatutory or formally nonracial techniques. In Chicago, an alliance of urban reformers and real estate professionals invented alternatives to explicitly racist segregation laws. The practices they promoted nationwide created one of the most successful forms of urban racial segregation in world history, rivaling and finally outliving South African apartheid. Understanding how this system came into being and how it persists today requires understanding both how the Chicago segregationists were connected to counterparts elsewhere in the world and how they adapted practices of city-splitting to suit the peculiarities of racial politics in the United States.
Urban Exceptionalism in the American South
David Goldfield
While colonial New Englanders gathered around town commons, settlers in the Southern colonials sprawled out on farms and plantations. The distinctions had more to do with the varying objectives of these colonial settlements and the geography of deep-flowing rivers in the South than with any philosophical predilections. The Southern colonies did indeed sprout towns, but these were places of planters' residences, planters' enslaved Africans, and the plantation economy, an axis that would persist through the antebellum period. Still, the aspirations of urban Southerners differed little from their Northern counterparts in the decades before the Civil War. The institution of slavery and an economy emphasizing commercial agriculture hewed the countryside close to the urban South, not only in economics, but also in politics. The devastation of the Civil War rendered the ties between city and country in the South even tighter. The South participated in the industrial revolution primarily to the extent of processing crops. Factories were often located in small towns and did not typically contribute to urbanization. City boosters aggressively sought and subsidized industrial development, but a poorly educated labor force and the scarcity of capital restricted economic development. Southern cities were more successful in legalizing the South's culture of white supremacy through legal segregation and the memorialization of the Confederacy. But the dislocations triggered by World War II and the billions of federal dollars poured into Southern urban infrastructure and industries generated hope among civic leaders for a postwar boom. The civil rights movement after 1950, with many of its most dramatic moments focused on the South's cities, loosened the connection between Southern city and region as cities chose development rather than the stagnation that was certain to occur without a moderation of race relations. The predicted economic bonanza occurred. Young people left the rural areas and small towns of the South for the larger cities to find work in the postindustrial economy and, for the first time in over a century, the urban South received migrants in appreciable numbers from other parts of the country and the world. The lingering impact of spatial distinctions and historical differences (particularly those related to the Civil War) linger in Southern cities, but exceptionalism is a fading characteristic.

the CLARION Wednesday, November 10, 1965 Johnson Asks, 'What Is Bethel?';
Mission Outreach Needs Evaluates Faculty Contributions
Foundation In Interaction
"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that
which he cannot lose." Missions conferences around the world
have thematically taken up missionary Jim Elliot's by now
famous paraphrase of Matthew 10:39 "He who finds his life will
lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."
What does Missions Week mean on this campus? What is
the basis of missionary zeal in a community of scholars? Or, if
you please, what constitutes a contribution from Bethel College
to the world?
In recent years the thematic stuff of Missions Week in
our academic community has been typified by words like
"relevancy", "involvement", and "mission." These particular
words, in fact, may be symbolic of our tendency to conceptua-lize
the objects of our mission as apart from ourselves.
The word we seldom mention, at least seriously, is "inter-action".
Perhaps our Missions Week ought to begin with a very
basic evaluation of ourselves and how we relate to those com-munities
closest to us.
Bethel College is not characterized by vigorous student
dialogues on social and intellectual issues. Well . . . what DO
we usually talk about in the Coffee Shop? When was the last
time you made more than a passing remark about an art object
displayed on campus?
Old newspapers only occasionally clutter the student
lounges—usually local newspapers. Dozens of posters were
put up for freshman elections, but there have been very few,
if any, posters on the war in Vietnam—pro or con. How many
times are the theses of visiting lecturers seriously taken
apart point by point?
Do we simply not believe in the value of discussion and
debate? Must this most important phase of the educational
experience be largely confined to student seminars? Or are we
simply afraid of our own ideas?
How does this relate to missions? Simply this: social beings
who cannot constructively, critically interact within their more
intimate communities need entertain no illusions of being
"on mission" to larger, more impersonal communities at future
times and places.
Theoretically, what we do educationally on this campus
is not far from what we do in our churches. It ought to be the
source of greater motivation.

to a 20th century college stu-dent

presents a big problem.
Their houses are often con-structed
with cornstalk walls and

animals do eat the houses when
fodder becomes scarce.
Scribes for these Indians might
easily be some kind of animal.
How can the missionary translate
this passage or explain the mean-ing?
This is only one problem
the translator faces. In this book
Dr. Eugene Nida points out many
of these types of problems.

The following is an abbreviated form of an arti-cle
written by Dr. James E. Johnson, Bethel pro-fessor
in American History, which appeared in
the Faculty Journal.
Dr. James E. Johnson
"Don't let the world squeeze you into its mold."
(Romans 12:2) This paraphrase of the Phillips' trans-lation
might be phrased, in the spirit of this article,
to read, "Don't let the Bethel image squeeze you
into its mold."
The editors of the Faculty Journal asked me to
write an article answering the question, "What con-stitutes
a contribution to Bethel?" This article, for
better or worse, is the result.
The question regarding that which constitutes
a contribution to Bethel College takes us back to
an earlier query that has been asked many times
since my arrivel on campus. That question is, "What
makes Bethel College unique among the many
colleges in the area?" or perhaps it asks, "What is
Is this endless search for identity a sign of in-security?
We are never quite sure of what we are
and would like to have the reassurance that we are
different from other schools.
On the other hand, perhaps this endless quest
for identity is a sign of strength in that we are never
satisfied with the status quo and want to keep pace
with the changing times. It is precisely this confusion
without identity that makes it somewhat difficult
to isolate the factor of contribution to Bethel.
Good teaching should be our objective no matter
where we are at any given time. My course in
American History should be as well presented on
the University campus as it is here, and vice versa.
None of us should be doing any better or worse
in his particular discipline because he is at Bethel.
This brings us to the point of asking whether

—Duane Perry
the "organization man" makes the best contribution
to Bethel. The President continually emphasized our
responsibility to place our curriculum in a Christian
context. What does this mean? Does our contribution
come when we play the role of "organization man"
and reinforce the student's previously held beliefs?
On the other hand, do we make a contribution
when we challenge the students to seek new paths
of thought and fresh ideas? What other approaches
are valid in a liberal arts college environment? Is
not our task to explore for truth and understanding,
and to encourage our students to do the same?
Many parents undoubtedly visualize the Bethel
faculty member as a vehicle to tell his or her
child the difference between right and wrong in
such areas as evolution, humanism, etc. I am not
sure that we are making a contribution when we
try to bend our curriculum so that it says what we
want it to say. A "let the chips fall where they may"
attitude might be more of a contribution in the
long run.
I can think of no better place for the "shock"
treatment for the naive student than this campus.
We do nothing for the student if we inform him that
he must go to the University campus if he wants to
be shocked.
The Bethel faculty is woefully lacking when it
comes to publishing materials in professional journals
and other media. Is this because the thesis of "Con-tribution"
is taking too much of their time in other
areas? Does the Bethel "organization man" have the
time to do research and publish?
Do we not contribute to the stature and pres-tige
of this school when we publish our ideas?
Perhaps a qualified "publish or perish" edict from
the Dean's office would be a good thing. All of us,
faculty and administration, ought to take a look at
the matter of professional growth.
The point is clear that a defini-tion
of what constitutes a con-tribution
to Bethel is difficult to
achieve. No two people will view
the problem in exactly the same
perspective. The danger in seeking
a common denominator, however,
is that the administration and some
members of the faculty might be-come
too wary of the iconoclast.
The tendency may be for us to
view a persons' contribution in
terms of his or her ability and
willingness to conform to the image
of what makes a "good" teacher
at Bethel. The long-range contri-bution,
however, might proceed
from certain individuals who do
not fit the ideal stereotype.
There may be some in the
Baptist General Conference who
feel that the campus is in for
better days now that the Baptist
Joint Committee in Washington
has a new staff member. There
are others, however, with whom
I happen to agree, who feel that
a magnificent contributor to the
entire Bethel academic commu-nity
has been lost.
We have grown much since I
arrived here three years ago, and
we will undoubtedly continue to
grow in the years ahead. Increased
size will make for some increase in
heterogenity among the student
Should this not be just as true
of the faculty? Bethel can continue
with a group of "organization
men," to be sure, but allowance
should be made for the person who
does not always fit the ideal image.

"The Lord be with your spirit,

Translating the Word of God
dates back to Pentecost when ev-ery

language. Since that time there
have been many men unafraid
to meet the challenge of transla-tion

Robert Morrison, and William
There are many terms in the
Bible which present special dif-ficulty
to the translator. To the
Miskitos of Central Nicaragua and
Honduras love is "pain in the
heart." How does a person trans-late
terms like "happiness", "an-ger,"
"envy," or "repentence,'
"conversion," "redemption," o r
"reconciliation" into other lan-guages?
Dr. Nida gives many examples
of how these terms have been
translated, either for better or
for worse. Often these examples
cause one to rethink the mean-ing
of these terms and concepts
for himself.
In the final chapter Dr. Nida
reports of some of the results of
this kind of missionary work. It
is definitely rewarding to see so

have had so long.

'Seminettes' Train For Further Roles;
Classes Offered On New Campus
by Diana McConnell
Homemakers, teachers, nurses,
and secretaries, are among the
Bethel Seminary Student Wives
who enthusiastically gather on the
Arden Hills campus every Monday
evening at 7:30 p.m. for classes
taught by two seminary professors.
For the fourth year, classes are
given as part of the total Bethel
Seminary Student Wives' group
program. The purpose of the clas-ses
is to train the young women
for their future roles as pastors'
A coffee fellowship time spon-sored
by seminary faculty cou-ples
follows the classes. This is
the first year to have the courses
offered in the fall instead of the
winter quarter. Approximately
40 wives are enrolled.
"Dead Sea Scrolls" is the first
of the two class topics. It is taught
by Dr. Ronald Youngblood, pro-fessor
of Old Testament and Heb-rew.
He has shown slides of the
Qumran area of Jordan, near the
Dead Sea, where many of the most
valuable 0 1 d Testament manu-scripts
were found.
The second class, "Counseling
for Pastors' Wives", is b e i n g
taught by Edwin Omark, Dean
Emeritus. Mr. Omark also taught
this course to Seminary Student
Wives in 1963.
Mr. Omark expressed that the
,pastor's wife should counsel
mostly with women and girls.
Some specific areas in which she
can help are: salvation, vocation,
dating, marriage, marital prob-lems,
unwed mothers, home man-agement.
He has emphasized the personal
qualities that the pastor's wife
should have. The first is "self-knowledge."

spiritual self, Mr. Omark com-ments,
"When you are alone and
the mask is off . . . What are
He secondly stressed a four-fold
dedication to the Lord, to the
church, to people generally, and
to the pastor-husband. "Be willing
to help and encourage him," ex-horts
Omark, "and be willing to
play second fiddle. Let him take
the praise."
The third necessary mark of a
good pastor's wife is maturity.
"Remember we will deal with
some adults who have never
grown up," warns Omark. "We
cannot counsel with others until
we have solved our own prob-

To the Editor:
I've been reading in the CLARION
about the problem we have here
at Bethel concerning chapel. I
don't always attend chapel. Accord-ing
to the paper, only a few over
fifty percent do attend. Many solu-tions
and partial solutions have
been suggested.
Perhaps the problem does lie in
the lack of intellectual stimulation.
Many may not find it at all stimu-lating
or helpful to go and hear
what has been said in different
words by many people many times.
It's evident that there is a prob-lem.
We see letters, hear com-plaints
and criticism, but where
does the problem lie—in the
chapel service itself? I think
it may at times. But for me it
seems that I must examine my-self.
There are many of us here who
need to introspect and see what
our faith really means. If we are
truly serious about Christianity
and if we really have learned to
love Jesus, then shouldn't our
purpose be to grow closer to Him?
I think if one enters chapel ser-vices
in a prayerful attitude one
might expect to be moved by what

Recent history has shown that if any kind of genuine academic life
is to be carried on ,it must be within a framework of freedom. But the
rule here is that freedom often turns out to be an ambigious term.
People either define it very narrowly or they become unrealistic in their
claims of "freethinking" and objectivity.
It must be admitted that all of us, from the thoroughgoing naturalist
to the committed Christian, bring certain presuppositions and biases to
our studies. However, if language is to retain any integrity at all and
if there is to be any honest interaction within an academic community,
freedom must be a basic concept.
Students must be in a position where they can explore and con-sider
ideas and concepts from every quarter. It is only in this type
of situation that individuals can begin to weigh and measure, to create
and to discover. And it is here that the latent possibilities and re-sponsibilities
of the mind are opened to us.
An experience of this nature usually brings tension to the indi-vidual
and to the community. But it has never been shown that tension
is consistently a negative factor. In its proper perspective it can bring
rewards much greater than the risks involved.
It is this type of freedom, within a basic Christian framework,
that students experience at Bethel College. It is for this freedom that
we are grateful. We are aware that this freedom places a great responsi-bility
on all of the college community. From a stated Christian position
the college carries out its adventure with individuals : expressing, ex-ploring
and creating without fear.
The tension that results in the community must be understood in its
proper relationship to Christian love and understanding. This relation-ship
does not involve burying our heads regarding differences that
we may have. Rather, it implies understanding them as a natural part
of the community, and making use of this tension for the college,
the Church, and the world. This is the happy challenge that faces us
as a community of Christian scholars.
If the church is to prosper in any age, it must be because free
individuals choose by their own volition to serve Jesus Christ. Thinking
people at all levels of maturity make their own decisions. At the college
level we are especially determined that this be the case.
Students in our community are reconsidering and reconfirming
earlier ideas about Christ and the Church while freely encountering
other alternatives. Certainly we are not without our problems, but in
this respect our experience is an exciting one. We hope that our freedom
to explore and create within a thoroughly Christian framework will be
preserved by our own responsibility and the insights of the larger
Conference community.
is is said. Certainly we all have
things which ought to be Glared
up and if we have a genuine desire
to live close to Jesus, then He'll
point them out to us and give us
the grace and power to overcome

Letters to the Editor:
Chapel Attendance Requires Introspection
by Jim Brand
There are many others besides the athletes themselves that are
necessary to college participation in sports. Fans don't generally see
these others in action but they are essential.
One group of "others" is the coaches. You see them pacing the
sidelines at games, but this is only part of their work. They lead all
the practices. They decide what the team must work on in a particular
practice. They scout other teams before we play them and devise de-fensive
and offensive game plans. They must ultimately decide who
plays — a tough job always.
Probably most important they must prepare the team psychologi-cally
for a new game each week. It's a difficult job to get 40 guys
keyed up enough to physically exert themselves week after week.
Congratulations on good work are due Bob Smith, Duane Gibson,
Vince Bloom, and Stan Miller. A special thanks goes to the "head
assistant" and line coach, Stu Luckman.
Head coach Dave Cox deserves three big cheers. Perhaps a 3-4-1
record isn't particularly impressive, but Coach Cox faced some pretty
big obstacles this year. First of all, as I understand it, he didn't know he
vi as to be head coach until 3 weeks before football camp.
Once at camp he had only 3 returnees from last year's starting
offensive team as a nucleus. The team was rather young. Also Coach
Cox followed Coach Haileen who had in the last 3 years led in 20
victories vs. 4 defeats.
These ingredients would make a tough job for any experienced
coach. But this was Coach Cox's first head coaching job in football.
Just three years ago he played ball for Bethel. Considering these facts,
I think Coach Cox did better than a good job.
Another group of these "others" is that group known as mana-gers.
These boys work hard. Every practice day they have to be sure
there are enough clean practice clothes. This means they have a wash-ing
to do several times a week. They have to do all the cleaning up.
If you've ever seen a locker room after practice or a game, you
know what a mess that can be. Muddy pants, mangled gobs of used
tape, heaps of soaked towels, clumps of dirt from payers' shoes, piles
of sweaty shirts and shorts: these are what the manager faces after the
players leave.
Congratulations are due Ken Bell, Steve Huffman, and Bob Mc-
Donald (who helped after injuring his knee in practice). A special thanks
goes to senior Jerry Wahlstrom, the "head" manager. trainer, and
general organizer.
Coach David Cox and Royals ponder the game following Satur-day's

Intramural Football Race Breaks
As Seminary, Squires Are Victors
This week's intramural football
broke up the race a little as the
two teams tied for second place
met in a very tough game.
The Seminary, stopped last year
by the Jesters, came back very de-termined
and were able to win by
the score 12-0. An intercepted pass
deep in Jester territory not only
scored the first touchdown but
also got the Seminary off to a
win. The Jesters threatened but

The Bethel Royals football sea-son
ended with a startling de-feat
Saturday when the General
Beadle "Trojans" of Madison, South
Dakota, upset the Royals by the
score of 26-7.
The first quarter was a defen-sive
stand-off as Beadle's defensive
line, which averages 230 pounds,
virtually halted the Royals' ground
game. However, Bethel's vaunted
pass defense, (6th in the nation
by NAIA) led by stalwarts Dave
Gehrke, Jim Brand and Paul Erick-son
held the Beadles on the ground.
Beadle broke through first with
14:20 left in the second period
on an eight-yard pass from quar-terback
Ray Riley to his end,
Francis Bouman. Bouman pro-ceeded
to boot the etxra point
through the uprights for a 7-0
The Royals struck back when
defensive guard Mike Rynkiewich
recovered a Beadle fumble on their
40-yard line. Nolin turned on the
heat by completing a 25-yard pass
to his favorite receiver, end John
Then fullback Barney Cox went
off-tackle for the score with 1:18
left in the half. The Royals faked
the kick, and ball holder Bob Nolin
skirted end to tie the score at 7-7.
The second half, Beadle com-pletely
dominated play as they
scored in the third quarter on a
5-yard drive by fullback Roger
Gross capping a 30-yard drive.
The Royals were handed another
defeat at LaCrosse State Univer-sity
Saturday as they were under-scored
20 to 43. The individual
winner of the race surprisingly
enough was a Bethel runner, fresh-man
Dick Olson.
The first individual winner of
the year for Bethel covered the 3.3
mile course in 17:03. An onlooking
deer in a pen nearby evidently got
so excited seeing a "B" on the
jersey of the leading runner that
he fell dead, apparently of a heart
attack just as the runners passed.

Following Olson across the fin-ish
line were seven consecutive La

"It all started with a Halloween party," Anderson recalls. "A group of friends and I got together and decided we would work with some local tweens to throw a costume party for the neighborhood children, but then a few days before our party, the tweens found another, cooler party and bailed on us. We decided to throw our party anyway, even though we didn't think anyone was going to come."
But they did come.
"There were 35 kids lined up in costume outside the event a half-hour early, and over 100 kids attended that night," said Anderson. "That really highlighted the need in the community for these kinds of events."
Since that first night, Town Square has grown to become a neighborhood staple, providing fun seasonal activities such as the McGolrick Park Easter Egg Hunt, where 4,500 eggs were hidden this year. The annual Halloween party has also become a parade, with thousands marching from Java Street down to Driggs and back on Manhattan Ave.
Anderson tries to stay away from advocacy with Town Square, instead focusing on community building and edutainment, but that is not to say that the organization is devoid of progressive programming. Coming soon on the calendar are the Green Cycle Swap on May 3 at Ascencion Church and the GoGreen Greenpoint! Sustainability Fair, scheduled for June 7 at McCarren Park.
She admits that her reasons for starting Town Square are somewhat selfish, much like J.K. Rowling, she just wanted to find a way that she could participate in the development of her own children. As a result, she says, the programming matures with her son.
Moving forward, Anderson's next goal is to further develop and cultivate the digital presence of Town Square so as to provide a local-only digital forum for discussions and events in Greenpoint.
"It would be nice to have one calendar that shows every single event that's happening in Greenpoint on any given day," says Anderson. "Right now, that doesn't exist."

text: Bret Michaels spent the early '80s gigging around Pittsburgh with his band Paris before moving to LA, hooking up with guitarist C.C. DeVille and changing the act's name to Poison. They released their first record, "Look What The Cat Dragged In, which included eternal party anthem "Talk Dirty To Me" in 1986. The 1988 follow-up, Open Up And Say … Ahh!, and hits like "Unskinny Bop," "Something To Believe In" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" grew the rabid fanbase. But music tastes changed and strife between Michaels and DeVille grew, culminating in a fight at the 1991 VMAs and DeVille's subsequent firing, and Poison was dropped by their label in 1998. Michaels, who was diagnosed with diabetes at 6, broke his nose, jaw, several fingers and a few ribs in 1994 car accident. He powered through, opening a film production company with Charlie Sheen to release "Letter From Death Row," which he wrote, co-directed, starred in and scored. His role in a Pamela Anderson sex tape almost became his most infamous, but he sued to stop release. After a Poison reunion and two solo CDs in 2003 and 2005, the father of two girls (Raine and Jorja with ex Kristi Gibson) reinvented himself as a reality star with the 2007 VH1 dating series "Rock Of Love", 2010's "Life As I Know It" and 2013's "Rock My RV". He also won "Celebrity Apprentice" in 2010.

Biology (B.A., B.S.)
The Biology Program at U.T. Dallas emphasizes the unifying molecular and cellular nature of organisms. At the center of the Biology undergraduate curriculum are the biochemical, genetic, and cell biology concepts and tools used to study the genes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, to study the proteins and ribonucleic acids (RNA) encoded by these genes, and to study how the expression of these genes is regulated during the development and lifetimes of organisms. Molecular Biology represents a fusion of the four disciplines of biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, and cell biology. Modern biology requires a background in other disciplines such as chemistry, mathematics, physics, and computer sciences. Principles from these disciplines have to be merged to understand and apply new biotechnology and genetic engineering techniques. It is desirable for entering students to have a broad interest and background in the sciences.
Both B.S. and B.A. degrees are offered in Biology at U.T. Dallas; a B.S. degree is offered in Molecular Biology. The B.S. degrees are intended as preparation for scientific careers in biology or careers in the health professions. The B.A. degree is intended as liberal arts biology major with less emphasis on calculus and more free hours for course work in other disciplines. Each degree in Biology offers a streamlined double major with Business Administration or Crime and Justice Studies. Five-year Fast Track B.S./M.S. Biology and Molecular Biology degree programs are available, and a 7-year accelerated B.S./D.O. degree program is offered together with the UNT Health Science Center at the Fort Worth College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNTHSC/TCOM).
Minors are offered in Biology, Biomolecular Structure, Microbiology, Molecular and Cell Biology, and Neurobiology.
Transfer Students

Lawsuit alleges Qwest reneged on "Price for Life"
A proposed class-action lawsuit filed Monday alleges Denver-based Qwest failed to live up to its "Price for Life" guarantee on high-speed Internet service.
Plaintiff Rick Grosvenor, a Utah resident, claims Qwest hiked his broadband service rate to $49.99 a month in August 2008 from $31.99 a month even though he had signed up for the "Price for Life" promotion in 2007. The price guarantee requires a two-year commitment.
After Grosvenor complained to the company, his monthly charge was lowered to $36.99, a rate he still pays today under protest, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Denver.
Qwest spokeswoman Monica Martinez declined comment on pending litigation.
The company still offers a "Price for Life" deal. Incidentally, if you Google "Qwest price for life," the first few hits lead to complaints lodged on DSL reports about Qwest changing terms of its "Price for Life" agreement. The first post, from August 2008, was about how the company stopped offering the guarantee on stand-alone Internet service.
The lawsuit alleges that a customer service representative told Grosvenor that the company decided to change the rate initially offered with the guarantee to a "promotional rate" because Qwest had enjoyed such a "tremendous response" to the deal.
Currently, Qwest offers a $19.99 promotional rate for the first 12 months of the "Price for Life" guarantee, then the rate jumps to $29.99. The price quoted is for 1.5 meg service and requires a home phone package.
Jeffrey Berens, Grosvenor's attorney, also represents plaintiffs in another proposed class-action suit pending in Denver federal court that alleges Qwest charged a $200 early termination fee on broadband customers who say they never agreed to long-term contracts that included such a fee.
"Qwest imposes this $200 fee on its (Internet) customers regardless of the customer's reason for cancelling service, the time remaining on the subscriber's alleged oral term commitment and the lack of an agreement signed by the customer agreeing to such terms," the lawsuit states.
Qwest has argued in a court filing that a similar complaint filed by one of the plaintiffs, Robin Vernon, was dismissed in Washington state. That case was then transferred to Denver.
The court "dismissed Plaintiff Vernon's unjust enrichment and Washington Consumer Protection Act claims because she admits that she has not paid the disputed fee to Qwest, precluding her from pleading that she enriched Qwest or suffered the requisite injury," west states in the filing, which sought dismissal of the claim filed in Denver.
Qwest's filing was rendered moot because the plaintiffs later withdrew their initial complaint and filed an amended complaint in November.

I am looking for a good introductory book for Seiberg-Witten theory. The only textbook I have now is Morgan's "The Seiberg-Witten Equations and Applications to the Topology of Smooth Four-Manifolds". This book is self-contained and concise and definitely a good book, but I am lost before section 4 "Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces" due to my poor background.
I would appreciate it if you could introduce me a good textbook or introduction paper for this subject. I am also happy if anyone knows a good reference for spin bundles and Clifford bundles. I am aware of the book "Spin Geometry" by the way.

Editor's note: Thanks to the release of recent, high-quality tablets, the overall score of the Sony Tablet S has been adjusted down from 7.7 to 7.2.
Sony's track record in industrial design, hardware engineering, gaming, and media makes it the best possible candidate to make a tablet that can challenge Apple's iPad. A year and a half after Apple's tablet debut, Sony is striking back with an Android 3.2 slate that is bound to turn heads and win some fans.
Editors' note: As of April 2012, the Sony Tablet S is upgradable to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). For details on the advantages Android 4.0 offers over Honeycomb, check the Android 4.0 section of the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 review.
Priced at $499 (16GB) and $599 (32GB), and lacking cellular data compatibility (at least in the U.S.), the Sony Tablet S isn't looking to be an inexpensive iPad alternative. It represents an elevation in the art of making Android tablets, and offers a genuinely fresh take on tablet design.
Sony's tablet is easy to spot in a lineup. Its unique wedge shape gives it a futuristic look and provides improved balance in your hand compared with the flat competition. As seen when placed on a table, the screen's forward slant minimizes glare and makes it more comfortable to type. The tradeoff is that the Tablet S doesn't achieve the same thinness as an iPad 2, though the Tablet S is just as light at 1.3 pounds and feels more solid than the reigning Android slate, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Around the sides you'll find buttons for power and volume, speakers, a headphone jack, and a tethered cover protecting a Micro-USB sync connection and a full-size SD card reader. A built-in app handles moving files back and forth from your card. It's worth noting that unlike other Honeycomb tablets, the SD card reader here functions just for media transfer and isn't meant to act as a memory expansion port.
Sony also made an interesting choice by going with a 9.4-inch screen instead of the 10.1-inch panel used on nearly every other Honeycomb tablet out there. Sony also uses the TruBlack technology from its Bravia TV line to make the screen contrast really pop. Though the screen is slightly smaller than those found on most of its Honeycomb cousins, you really don't feel the pinch while using it and it actually helps to bring the overall form factor closer to the iPad's dimensions.
Take it as read that you get Google's full Android 3.1 experience. Everything from Gmail to Google Talk (with video chat) comes ready to go right out of the box. On top of that you get access to Sony's Video Unlimited service. Ironically, video selection is very limited at launch, but plans are in place to offer video download and rental options from all the major studios. You get a six-month free basic membership to Sony's Music Unlimited service (a revamped version of Sony's Qriocity). Sony's own Reader software is included, alongside Google Books. And last but not least, both of Sony's tablets are PlayStation-certified, and run emulator software allowing them to run select PS One and PSP game titles. The original PS One hit Crash Bandicoot comes preinstalled, along with a version of Pinball Heroes.
Sony has also included some interesting options for pushing media content from these tablets to DLNA-compatible speakers, PCs, or TVs (and not just Sony's). You can think of it as Sony's answer to Apple's AirPlay media streaming, only more broadly compatible with third-party technology.
Also playing into Sony's focus on the tablet as a living-room entertainment device is the inclusion of an IR blaster and a universal remote app on the Tablet S. Having tried a demo of this feature personally, we can safely say that it makes the remote functionality of the Vizio tablet look like amateur hour. Essentially, Sony cannibalized its own $250 HomeShare premium universal remote and slapped the same software inside the Tablet S. The result is a graphically rich remote that you might actually want to use.
In that same spirit of borrowing from its best technology to make a compelling tablet, Sony has borrowed the Exmor image technology from its digital cameras to make a tablet camera that's actually worth a damn. The touch-screen panels on both tablets take advantage of the TruBlack technology used on Sony's Bravia HDTV sets, as we mentioned, providing richer contrast and minimizing reflections between the LCD and the glass above it. Sony even threw in the Dash's Chumby widgets, transforming the tablet into a high-tech photo frame/widget display when the device is placed in an optional dock ($39).

Diaspora Philanthropy: Private Giving and Public Policy
Philanthropy is part of the cultural fabric of many communities, driven by complex individual and social dynamics. But it is also affected by public policy in both donor and developing countries. Immigrants and their descendants have long maintained substantial ties to their communities of origin, including through voluntary giving. But there are several reasons to believe that diaspora philanthropy is evolving, to include the emergence of new development actors, new trends in global philanthropy, and new directions in diaspora engagement.
This report analyzes the evolving role of diaspora philanthropy in countries of origin, and examines the emergence of nongovernmental development actors and new trends in global philanthropy, such as strategic giving and use of online platforms to harness small donations. It also discusses public policies, in both donor and developing countries, that can encourage or discourage philanthropic giving, and provides several ideas on how U.S. policymakers might begin to engage diaspora philanthropists.
This would include tax incentives to promote diaspora philanthropy, technical support for charity registration in the United States, incentive funds to promote social innovation, capacity building and advice for diaspora donors, responsible giving forums for high-profile diaspora donors, and information, outreach, and knowledge management.

May 17, 2004
Los Angeles — Morning keynote speaker Marc Benioff set an appropriately inspiring tone for the rest of the day during his kickoff speech at the Entrepreneur Association's 2004 Entrepreneurs Conference held on the UCLA Anderson campus Friday, April 30th. The entrepreneur and software industry veteran best known for founding salesforce.com gave a 40 minute talk to a Korn Hall audience of local entrepreneurs and UCLA Anderson MBA/FEMBA students, alumni, and faculty. Benioff's speech offered vital lessons about people skills and the mechanics of business learned from being a teenage entrepreneur, working 13 years at Oracle in various leadership roles within sales, marketing, and product development, and then forming his own web-based software utility company. However, Benioff stressed social responsibility as the most important element to success. He touched upon his own extensive philanthropic work, outlined in greater detail in his book Compassionate Capitalism, which was distributed to early arriving registered participants of the conference.
The conference was divided into three main sessions, during which time participants chose from a wide variety of topics and workshops - ranging from sales and presentation techniques to biotech and retail management and interact with industry experts.
In a lively discussion moderated by second year student and resident wi-fi expert, Scott Miller called, "It's Getting Hot In Here: The Business of Wireless Hot Spots," executives and entrepreneurs from companies such as Boingo Wireless, Pronto Networks, Tropos Networks, and Café.com offered their thoughts on the opportunities created by the emerging wireless infrastructure.
"Digital Convergence & the Impact of Technology on Entertainment," moderated by Professor George Geis, focused on wireless content and the effect of changing technology on the music, television, and film industries. Executives, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists from JAMDAT Mobile, THQ Wireless, Digital Cinema Initiatives, Yahoo! Music, and Shelter Capital offered their provocative thoughts on the changing media landscape and its implications on the global market.
A discussion on burgeoning opportunities in wireless content continued with UCLA Anderson alum and JAMDAT Mobile co-founder Austin Murray and THQ Wireless President Tim Walsh sharing their thoughts. Walsh noted that the conference, "is a great way to get people connected. This is how people come up with new ideas and build alliances that turn into great companies later on." Murray commented, "The EA continues to stay on top of the cutting edge in new business developments, as shown by the valuable commentary during today's panel. I was very happy to be a part of this exciting event."
Arguably the hottest and most misunderstood technology today – nanotechnology was the topic of the session, "Think Small, Do Big: The Rise of Nanotechnology." The session included an intellectually formidable group of scientists, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists, moderated by California Technology Ventures Managing Director and UCLA School of Medicine professor Gary Lazar. The group attempted to provide a clear answer to the daunting question, "What is nanotech?" The group offered advice about how interested MBA students and entrepreneurs could get involved. Many stressed that they avoided investing in opportunities that were, "nanotech for the sake of nanotech," but instead offered clear and compelling solutions to current needs.
The conference closed with remarks by Linda LoRe, President and CEO of Frederick's of Hollywood. Employing her past experience with the luxury brands at Giorgio Beverly Hills, LoRe oversaw Frederick's Chapter 11 reorganization and subsequent recovery and growth. Her presentation told a compelling story of how she developed a strong brand from a dying company. Her change strategy worked because LoRe built upon the core values and strengths of the company, instead of doing something completely different and unrealistic. The speech impressed first year Vidya Sundaram who made the insight that, "I think (LoRe) could do that because she values the company's traditions, and I could see how she was able to build the support and confidence of her staff because of it."
According to second year student Emmy Huang, this year's conference broke attendance records for the EA with over 377 attendees including panelists and speakers. This year's conference also represented the first time that sponsorship came entirely from external sources. These included Focal Point Partners, Shepard Mullin, Rustic Canyon Partners, Palomar Ventures, Holthouse, Carlin & Van Trigt, Wells Fargo Foothill, and UCLA CIBER.


text: Namibia is a desert country featuring the world's tallest sand dunes at Sossussvlei, a sprawling salt pan game park at Etosha, and sand boarding or quad-biking in Swakopmund on the west coast. The barren Skeleton Coast was once the terror of Atlantic sailors who knew it was certain death if they shipwrecked. Cape Cross has one of the largest seal colonies in the world. Fish River Canyon has spectacular rock paintings. Once a colony of Germany, it still features bavarian architecture and cuisine. In short, Namibia is unexpectedly unique and rewarding.

Rescuers Locate Injured Man Using GPS Coordinates and Airlift Him to Nearby Hospital
September 23, 2008 – SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA): On August 22, 2008 experienced hiker and Canadian oil analyst Michael Ervin, set off to enjoy a backcountry wilderness trip to the base of Mount Assiniboine, one of the highest and most distinctive peaks in the Canadian Rockies outside of Banff. A bad fall under the weight of his forty-five pound backpack left Mr. Ervin with a ruptured quadriceps tendon to his knee, unable to put any weight on his leg and 10 kilometers from the nearest road with no cell phone coverage.
"I heard a loud snap from my leg and could see my knee cap hanging loose, lower than usual," said Michael Ervin, President of fuel-analysis firm MJ Ervin & Associates of Calgary. "I was experiencing shock and knew I was unable to walk. I needed real help and pressed the 9-1-1 button on my SPOT Satellite Messenger to notify emergency responders of my GPS location coordinates."
Snowmobile Accident Victim Rescued After SPOT Satellite Messenger Sends Distress Message and GPS Location; Wife Kept Informed and Updated on Rescue Progress
May 27, 2008 – SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA) Bill Hanson, a member of an experienced snowmobiling party out for some winter fun in the remote backcountry near Seward, Alaska, initiated a 9-1-1 rescue alert from his SPOT Satellite MessengerTM after two sleds collided head-on. Mr. Hanson's friend was badly injured as result of the collision between the two, 480 pound machines approximately 150 miles from Anchorage.
The group realized that the man needed immediate medical attention and due to the severity of his injuries, they could not transport him on their own. Twenty-five miles from the nearest road, deep in Nellie Juan Canyon and without phone or radio service, Mr. Hanson initiated a 9-1-1 rescue alert from his SPOT Satellite Messenger, a personal safety device that allows users to communicate from remote locations around the globe and initiate emergency response calls independently of cellular networks.
Capsized and Stranded Ocean Kayaker Rescued After Sending Distress Message and GPS Location Using SPOT Satellite Messenger
March 4, 2008 - SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA) Sea kayaker Derek Crook was rescued off of the west coast of Tasmania near the Pieman River after pressing the 9-1-1 button on his SPOT Satellite Messenger™.

GPS Device Sends Location Data and Alert Message to Emergency Responders
January 7, 2008 – SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA) When Natalie Bertsch bought her husband a GPS-enabled SPOT™ Satellite Messenger for Christmas, little did she know that only a week later he would use SPOT while coming to the aid of four friends swept away in an avalanche near Laramie, Wyoming. On Jan. 2, 2008, Brian Bertsch contacted an emergency 9-1-1 call center by pressing a single button on his handheld SPOT.
