Carpenter, Cards down Reds
St. Louis, MO – Matt Carpenter went 3-for-4 with two doubles and sparked a three-run sixth inning to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 4-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds to take two of three from their division rivals at Busch Stadium.
Allen Craig and Yadier Molina reached on a walk and single, respectively, with one away in the decisive sixth frame, which brought Carpenter to the plate for the go-ahead poke to right center field. Pete Kozma and Daniel Descalso followed with RBI-singles, chasing Reds starter Homer Bailey from the game. J.J. Hoover took over and retired the two batters he faced, but the damage had been done.
Lance Lynn (5-0) was sharp in seven innings of work for St. Louis, allowing just a run on five hits while striking out five en route to his tenth straight win dating back to last season. Carlos Beltran homered for the Cardinals while Edward Mujica picked up his sixth save in as many tries this season.
"To be able to go out there and pitch like that and win games, that's what it's all about," said Lynn. "It feels good. I just have to keep trying to improve everyday, and that's what I'm going to do."
Brandon Phillips picked up both Cincinnati RBI, including a solo home run off Mujica to lead off the ninth.
Homer Bailey (1-3) tossed 5 1/3 innings, surrendering all four Cardinals runs on nine hits.
"These guys are just my achilles heel right now," said Bailey. "They're a good hitting team and they have my number right now. I made a mistake on Beltran, but as for the sixth inning, what do you do? I made some good pitches, they just found the holes."
Beltran opened the scoring with a solo shot to right field off Bailey in the fourth inning for his seventh home run of the season.
Following a Joey Votto walk, Phillips tied the game with an RBI double to right-center in the top of the sixth. Lynn then fanned Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier, setting up the Cardinals big bottom half.
Phillips' homer off Mujica, who had allowed just one run on the season to this point, rounded out the scoring as Mujica retired the next three batters he faced in order.
"I think it says a lot to win these tight games," said Matheny. "These things build a team's character and their fight. This was a tough homestand all together with the way we played against Pittsburgh and with Cincinnati, but we ended on a good note."
Game Notes
Beltran now has 15 career home runs against 10 major league teams ... Lynn, who had struck out in his last five at-bats entering the game, singled in the fifth inning for his first hit of the year ... Cincinnati hit 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position and left five on base ... Logan Ondrusek pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Reds.

On Saturday, April 19, 2014 Hawaiian Tel FCU gathered to celebrate their 77th Annual Meeting and Dinner at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This year's theme was "Working with you in mind."
"To make our way, we must have firm resolve, persistence, tenacity. We must gear ourselves to work hard all the way. We can never let up."
-Ralph Bunche, Nobel Laureate and Diplomat
At the meeting, there were over 300 members in attendance to listen on the successful financial condition of 2013. There have been many things that the credit union has undergone with the value-driven services of Popmoney and mobile banking, to the grand openings of our two newest Walmart branch locations (Mililani and Kunia), to the various community events and much more. However, we are not going to stop there – HiTel FCU has a lot more in store for 2014.
In addition to the financials it was announced that Michael Yee and Deborah Lau Okamura had been selected to fill the vacancies on the Board of Directors.
Members were eager to win door prizes, as there were over $3,000 worth of various giveaways. Lucky attendees were showered with gift cards of various restaurants and stores, hotel stays in Hawaii and California, the grand prize of a trip for two for Vegas and much more!
With the meeting concluded, everyone adjourned to the dining room to enjoy an opulent seven-course Chinese dinner while being entranced by the intoxicating voice of Jason Allen. Augie Tulba, our emcee, kept everyone entertained in his usual escapade style between gigs. The post dinner entertainment was put on by the beach boy band The Dukes of Surf. The band had everyone shimming in their seats.
Mystical Sounds' mobile disco and light show was the perfect way to cap off a celebratory evening of fun and fellowship.

Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, delivered at OECD High-level meeting on the Internet Economy
OECD Conference Centre, 28th June 2011
(As prepared for delivery)
Ministers, Distinguished representatives, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the OECD High-level meeting on the internet economy.
This event is very timely. Just a few weeks ago, at the OECD 50th Anniversary Ministerial Meeting, Ministers underscored the role the OECD needs to play in promoting innovation, encouraging transparent governance, and creating inclusive and green growth.
Ministers also approved our updated Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and called upon countries and businesses to support the freedom of expression, assembly, and association online. As you will discuss over the next two days, these freedoms go hand in hand with the establishment of a vibrant Internet economy.
The Internet already connects 2 billion users worldwide and it continues to grow rapidly. Governments, corporations, the Internet technical community and civil society have to work together so we can make the best use of this amazingly powerful communication tool. As the place where countries meet to develop and agree common principles on the most relevant policy issues, the OECD is ideally placed to provide you with a forum for your discussions.
Our working methods are also especially relevant for the challenges you face. The valuable input of advisory groups from industry, labour, and other sectors informs everything the OECD does. Similarly, the Internet would not be a global success without the multi-stakeholder process supported by the private sector, civil society, the technical community, and governments -- all performing their appropriate roles.
The OECD specialises in advancing norms and best practices that become global standards, without necessarily being legally binding. The Internet has always thrived in this sort of light-touch, flexible public policy environment.
As discussed in our recent Communications Outlook, the internet provides a key platform to support growth. This has also been recognized by the G8 leaders who in their Deauville declaration stated that: "The Internet is a driver of innovation, improves efficiency, and thus contributes to growth and employment." And at times of strong fiscal pressures in many countries, the potential of mobile, and Internet, technologies to generate significant savings makes them a very critical enabling tool.
But the appropriate policies and regulations need to be in place if we are to seize the opportunities that the Internet provides to us.
One area where more needs to be done is Broadband access. Further economic growth will depend on the ability to access and use high-speed networks for new developments such as smart applications and cloud computing. Countries will have a crucial role in developing and promoting broadband access and obtaining national coverage at high speeds.
We must leverage broadband to improve innovation in health delivery, education, intelligent transport systems and in smart electricity grids. At the OECD, yesterday, a working group of the ITU/UNESCO Broadband Commission met to discuss broadband and science. It is important to realise the important role of the Internet in undertaking research and scientific co-operation. We must also improve on metrics so that we can better benchmark progress and understand the impact of the internet on our lives.
Let me now touch on another important subject.
As policy-makers, we certainly feel that we have to find a way to curb wrongdoing on the Internet. The challenge is to achieve this outcome without disrupting its openness and the economic and social development it enables. While we need to protect intellectual property, for example, maintaining the low entry barriers ensured by the Internet and its flexibility is also a key priority. This is essential for allowing the creativity, the new technologies and the creation of new businesses that our societies need in order to prosper.
This high-level meeting is a unique opportunity to strengthen global principles to create a reliable, resilient and innovative Internet environment. We need to put in place the right flexible framework for companies and governments to operate under. As they undertake new initiatives with respect to access to information, its distribution, portability, and the use of platforms and networks, they need the right guidance. I trust that the Internet Policy-making Principles you will adopt at the end of this meeting will play a positive role in this regard.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Over more than thirty years, the OECD has established many of the norms that still define the global Internet economy today. The 2008 Seoul Declaration, for example, recognised the Internet as a critical general technology enabler that affects all sectors of the economy and influences social and political life.
The OECD is ready to continue to inform debates on the Internet economy. We just released a report on the need to reign in international mobile roaming charges. Next week, we will publish a report on M-Government – highlighting the potential of mobile technologies for economic and social progress in the delivery of public services, improved operational efficiencies and better citizen engagement. You can count on us.
I look forward to a lively and fruitful discussion.
Thank you.

The only thing I walked out with was a free Village Voice, the free East Coast Rocker, and a list of things I'll consider buying when the discounts are way better than 20% off.
The problem with Virgin to me has always been their shitty prices. As one of the last people on Earth that still actually buys CDs, I am constantly discouraged when scouring their racks. Typically, their discs are priced at $18.99, which is absolute bullshit. Oh, you want the Melvins' noise album? Fuck you, pay me. You're missing Let It Be from your Beatles' collection? Fuck you, pay me. I started shopping exclusively from their cheapo bins that popped up in the past couple years. Cheapo at $10 isn't really cheapo though when most of the stuff in the bins are discs that everyone in the world already had or didn't want. And 20% off of their regular stock is still way too much.
Occasionally, I'll find a deal on a greatest hits package and pick it up from Virgin, but for the most part, the only CDs I buy are used (Ebay or Generation Records) or older catalog items from Amazon. If something brand new is coming out I'll buy it from the artists' websites directly. Maybe I'll end up paying 18.99 anyway after shipping, but chances are, I'm getting a free t-shirts or bonus DVD along with it. Because of the price of CDs, I rarely take a chance on discovering something new. Unless it's in the $1 rack at Tunes in Hoboken, I'm no longer willing to dig. No matter how clever the name of the band is, or how cool the artwork is, or if a friend recommended them, I just can't take part in the romanticized view of the cool record store anymore.
At $18.99, I said Fuck You back and signed up for Emusic instead. $15 a month and I could take chances again. Even if I'm now saddled with some bum mp3s (bump3s?) that I'll rarely listen to, I still have discovered a million awesome bands that I never would have found at Virgin Smegmastore. I certainly never felt ripped off because of prices. I'm at a point now where I've actually put a hold on my Emusic account because I've found too much music and need to take a breather. This isn't an Emusic commercial though. The service isn't perfect. The catalog is nearly 100% independent so whenever I have a taste for something major, I go back to physical CDs. And I'll keep buying CDs as long as I'm getting value for my money. I don't care if I have to take an extra step to rip a disc before jamming it onto my mp3 player. I try to be efficient, but sometimes my cheapness defeats it.
Maybe I'm just being my usual anti-corporate self, but I tend to think that corporate greed is what's killing CDs and Record Stores, not consumers. I don't think I'm demanding much. Why would anyone pay 20% off of a $430 Sopranos Complete Series Box Set at Virgin when it's already only $329 on Amazon? I had no intention of buying that, but it's indicative of most of the "deals" in the store. I'll admit I did find a couple things that I considered purchasing right then and there--Prince's Batman Soundtrack at $7.99 and The Naked Gun at $9.99 (-20% on both)--but ultimately, I don't need either that badly and I'm positive I can find them both cheaper. Here's a sorry looking list I made on my phone of items that I sort of want (feel free to mock my taste), but they won't get crossed off until I see better prices:
Twin peaks viva bam jackass tim eric batman sound who greatest sarabarellis li e pearl jamnirvana unplug serj pee wee ameribeauty rocky ShiningThe majority of things there are DVDs because it didn't occur to me to start making a list until I got downstairs. There isn't a ton of music I'm looking for right now, and I didn't have the patience to pore through the CD section knowing that the prices sucked. Nothing on my list is a necessity, so there's no urgency for me to spend my money. It's all there for the taking though, Virgin, if the price is right.

Regional trend threatens rural opportunity program
Staff writer
Marion County Economic Development Director Teresa Huffman scrolled through 200 emails.
All of them inquired about moving to a rural opportunity zone, although many of the would-be applicants do not even specify that they want to move to Marion to receive student loan forgiveness and Kansas Income Tax exemption the program provides.
Those that are serious usually want student loan help to move into the state. Huffman said the county has already used funds on past ROZ applicants. She met with Commissioners Monday to ask for more funding for the program.
However, what Huffman was illustrating with pages and pages of emails is a new trend for local economies — young people are traveling to areas where they want to live and then finding jobs. She discussed the effects of this trend at the Regional Economic Area Partnership meeting on Friday.
One of the side effects to this trend is that grants are being disbursed to regional organizations instead of directly to counties. The county received $50,000 in a Rural Business Opportunity grant last year from U.S. Department of Agriculture. Key Convenience Store in Lincolnville is one of the businesses that used the grant.
While Huffman said, the county still has funding left from that grant to use toward local businesses she cannot apply for the grant this year because USDA is choosing to supply those grants regionally.
Marion County is a part of regional economic development organizations, including South Central Kansas Economic Development District, and receives funds from those organizations.
However, Huffman said regional groups are often inclined to split funds with higher percentages heading to counties that are more populous. Huffman gave the example of Flint Hills Frontiers. Marion County is listed as a part of the group, but the group's focus has been on counties around U.S. 70 like Riley, Dickinson and Wabaunsee.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- No amount of rainfall was going to dampen the day for the Tennessee Tech softball team Sunday, which had its entire series against Jacksonville State washed out. The Golden Eagles qualified for the OVC Tournament, and went indoors to celebrate Senior Day.
Finishing the regular season with an 11-11 record, the Golden Eagles will head to Charleston, Ill., Tuesday as the seventh seed in the eight-team tournament, which will be hosted by Eastern Illinois beginning Wednesday.
On Sunday, the team and familes gathered in the dry Athletic Performance Center for Senior Day, with a nod toward Tech's four players in the Class of 2013, Brittney Spalding and Chanelle Spalding, Claudia Harke, and Melody Christian.
All four are four-year starters for the Golden Eagles and have collected 103 victories across the past four seasons, and a 7-4-tournament record.
Brittney Spalding has anchored third base for the past four seasons for the Golden Eagles. She has started just over 150 games and collected roughly 100 hits and 70 RBI. As a sophomore, Spalding led the team in doubles, and topped Tech in RBI as a junior. She has been on the TTU Athletic Director's Honor Roll for six semesters and has been on the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll all three years.

Claudia Harke, Brittney Spalding and Chanelle Spalding.
Chanelle Spalding has been the other anchor to the Tech corners. She was a member of the 2010 OVC all-Newcomer team and in 2012, she was recognized as the team's Offensive Player of the Year. Chanelle Spalding has started in 175 games, collecting over 150 hits, close to 90 runs and 50 RBI. She has been on the TTU Athletic Director's Honor Roll every semester and has been on the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll all three years.
Claudia Harke has been a consistent performer since first taking the circle. A native of Kimberly, Wis., the left-hander has made 77 appearances in her career, and has pitched over 200 innings for the Golden Eagles. Harke has thrown two complete game shutouts this season. Harke has been on the TTU Athletics Director's Honor Roll every semester at Tech and has been on the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll all three years. Harke is the vice president of Tech's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and was awarded the prestigious OVC Vernon Holland Scholarship Award.
Christian joined the Golden Eagles and made an immediate an impact. A native of Kingston Springs, Tenn., she has led the team in hits, runs and stolen bases the last three years. She has left her mark on the Tech records book and currently owns the ninth-best career batting average (.311), ninth-most career runs scored (120) and the second-most stolen bases by a Golden Eagle with 78. As a freshman, Christian was named to the OVC all-Newcomer team and was recognized as the team's Most Valuable Player, and was the Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore. She has been on the TTU Athletics Director's Honor Roll five times, and was on the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll in 2010-11.

Whitfield's walking horse legislation would end soring; Blackburn's would enable it
We used to think that soring — inflicting painful injuries to the legs and hooves of Tennessee Walking Horses to force them to adopt a high gait known as the "Big Lick" — was solely for the purpose of winning ribbons and prize money at horse shows.
After the latest maneuver by the "Big Lick" faction of the show-horse industry, we can see there is a special brand of inhumanity that thrives among us in Tennessee.
By pitting its own alternative legislation, courtesy of Rep. Marsha Blackburn, against the popular "Prevent All Soring Tactics" (PAST) bill, this group demonstrates how determined it is to continue secretly torturing animals. Stronger than a desire for mere show-ring glory, this appears to be about deriving pleasure from causing pain. That it is defenseless animals, and not people, only increases their ability to get away with it.
After decades of violations of the nation's Horse Protection Act, PAST offers a real chance to strengthen the law. The bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., would toughen inspection standards at horse shows and ban the use of chains and pads that are worn on the horses' legs and hooves, both to perpetuate pain for the horse when its hoof hits the ground and to hide scarring and other evidence of soring. As we know from the notorious Jackie McConnell case (captured on video) and others over the years, abusive trainers will apply caustic substances to horses' legs, drive sharp objects into their hooves and beat the horses on a regular basis.
Blackburn's bill is, in fact, a Trojan horse — institutionalized abuse disguised as animal protection.
It would set up a single horse industry organization (HIO), whose board would be chosen by the current trainers association that is populated with repeat violators of the Horse Protection Act. Those HIOs that currently prohibit soring at their shows would be left out.
Blackburn's bill also ignores the use of pads and chains; it authorizes state agricultural commissioners in Tennessee and Kentucky, who have historically ignored horse abuse, to hire show inspectors; and it removes the federal requirement that HIO meetings be open to the public.
In short, Blackburn's legislation was the best that horse-abusers' money could buy, in the form of tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to her campaign, in order to continue torturing and maiming horses.
Whitfield's bill, endorsed by the nation's leading veterinary organizations and animal-protection groups, has 267 sponsors in the House, 47 co-sponsors in the Senate — and still we are far from complacent about its prospects. We saw gun background-check legislation that had overwhelming support wither and die, even with a Senate majority voting for it.
What will U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander and Sen. Bob Corker have to say about Whitfield's and Blackburn's legislation? So far — silence.
Soring is very much alive, and the bad actors in the walking horse industry are hardening their position instead of backing away from it, hoping to gut the laws that forbid them to do what they love: torment animals.
Their spokesmen like to say that Blackburn's bill "eliminates soring," while Whitfield's bill "eliminates the horse." We know their abject cruelty is what will eliminate the horse, if we let them.

Multiple dogs die after being pulled from Milwaukee house fire
Multiple dogs died but three were revived after being pulled from a late night house fire on Milwaukee's north side.
Firefighters called to the home at about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday were told by a mom and her children who were able to get out of the home that 10 dogs were still inside.
"We were able to successfully rescue most of them, however some did succumb to the smoke and fire conditions," said battallion Chief Erich Roden.
An official with Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission said that five of the dogs were pets. Another five were rescues. Milwaukee ordinance allows for three animals in a home. Two more may be allowed with an inspection and special permit.
"She wants to do what's best for the dogs," neighbor Fawn Argo said of the homeowner. "She really does care about them, even the ones she fosters, and tries to good by them."
No humans were hurt.
Investigators didn't immediately know how the fire started.

Bethel College, Arden Hills, Minnesota
Allie is
the greatest
by Dave Greener
Although difficulties devastated Bethel's
own debate program this year, a
former Bethel debater contributed this
season to the substantial debate success
of Alexander Ramsey High School.
Allie Joe Moore, a senior majoring in
both English Education and in Speech,
served this season as the Roseville school's
assistant debate coach.
As assistant coach, Allie Joe attended
Ramsey every afternoon from 2 until
4: 30, listening to practice debates and assisting
debaters. From the end of October
until late last month, nearly everyone of
her Saturdays (and sometimes Friday
nights as well) were spent in coaching and
judging at tournaments.
Allie Joe ordinarily drove about 10 or
12 students (most often novice and junior
varsity. debaters) to a tournament while
others debated elsewhere. During the season
she was also enrolled at Bethel, taking
three courses fall semester, one during
Interim, and four and one-half now.
Ramsey teams this year continued the
school's successes of '72-'73, winning 63
tournament trophies. Included in the
triumphs were first place finishes in the
R. J. Happe Little Nationals Tournament
in South St. Paul and in the Minnesota
State High School Debate Tournament.
Speaking of his chief assistant, Ramsey
head debate coach Mike Pfau noted that
Allie Joe "was kind of my right hand person
throughout the year." Her "unique
contribution," he said, was that her
background in speech complemented his
own personal emphasis of the techniques
of argumentation. ' Pfau also found her to
be enthusiastic, "very, very diligent and
reliable," and" ... incredibly easy to work
During practice debates, commented
Ramsey senior Debby Green, Allie Joe
"was always ready to tell me what I was
doing right or what I could improve on or
what I could change and therefore she
was able to make me into a better debater.
"If I was having a problem with an
argument or something," Debbie continued,
"I would always go to her. She was
always there to help when I needed her."
"Through all the things she did," added
sophomore Kitty Zoltai, "she improved
our understanding of debate which enabled
us to become better debaters."
To Allie Joe, the experience was "a lot
of fun because the kids are an enjoyable
bunch and work very hard. Since I'm going
into high school education it's been
valuable to work with high school stu-dents."
For Allie Joe, a winning Bethel debater
for two years and a winner in high
school for most of four, it was also "really
interesting being on the other side of the
picture," judging instead of debating.
"Now I can understand," she said, "why
we got some of the losses that we did and
how difficult it is to decide who wins."
As she also noted, "Because so much
of what I did was a new experience -
working with the kids and driving in the
Vol. 49 No. 21
Friday, March 22, 1974
city - I learned that God is faithful in
practical, everyday situations. I just need
to trust Him. "
Allie Joe, from Brookings, South Dakota,
plans to conclude her Bethel education
by student teaching this fall. She
isn't sure, she said, if she will someday
opt to be a school's head debate coach,
although she may seek some involvement
in forensics.
Allie Joe has indicated that she is considering
eventual educative work as a missionary,
perhaps prefacing that role by
gaining teaching experience in Minnesota
or South Dakota.
Regents may
assume VBI
by Bob Winter
Late this June, representatives of the
Baptist General Conference from all over
the continent will meet in Seattle, Washington,
to vote Vancouver Bible Institute
into the jurisdiction of Bethel's Board of
Regents. To some this may not mean
much, to others it carries heavy vibes,
both positive and negative.
What is VBI that it should be placed
under the same board that governs Bethel?
Why the mixed feelings?
Vancouver Bible Institute started in
1918 as a Bible school located in Vancouver,
B. C., Canada. It originated, as do
most Bible colleges, in an effort to provide
the people in the area with training
in the Scriptures, training that one

The Clarion looks
at a week of streaking
by Ray Stockwell
Bethel's streakers, where did it all begin? The first streak
at Bethel appears to have been on old-campus on Sunday
March lOin the early evening. This streak consisted of only
about half-a-dozen young men running between the dormitories
on old-campus.
~ethel 's next streak was in chapel the following day. Two
sc~ntIly cla~ males ran across the gym floor during chapel, and
qUIckly vamshed without a trace. Those who knew the streak
was coming, at least a few photographers at Bethel will admit
they knew, just won't tell who did it. Some swear that they
kn?w the two gentlemen who streaked through chapel, and
claIm that they are Hamline students. Others say that the lads
attend the University of Minnesota, and are old friends of
theirs. Those who really know who it was won't tell anyone.
Bethel's next streak was at Bodien. According to Mrs.
Hartman, house mother at Bodien, 20 to 25 young men managed
to get inside the dorm, presumably through the front entrance.
They ran down several of the halls but did little or no
damage to the residents or property. This was, however, a
short-lived victory. Mrs. Hartman, hearing screams on the
second floor, quickly investigated and dispelled the group.
Sometime that same evening several young men and
women were reported streaking outside of Hagstrom and
Edgren. The group appears to have quickly disbanded, and
gone on to get its jollies at other campuses.
Bethel's fourth streak was again at Bodien, Wednesday
March 14. A young man wearing what appeared to be a Bethel
jacket came to the front door of Bodien. Mrs. Hartman, assuming
him to be the boyfriend of one of the Bodien girls, opened
the door for him and let him inside. The lad then asked Mrs.
Hartman where he might find the men's rest room." Mrs. Hartman
told the young man to go to Hagstrom, as Bodien has no
men's rest room. As he opened the door to leave, several naked
young men came streaming in through the front door. Mrs.
Hartman quickly went to her room and called the proper authorities.
Meanwhile the would-be streakers ran down anum·
ber of ~alls. The young men left without a trace long before the
authorities arrived. However, the license numbers of the various
cars used were reported to the police.
Why has streaking become the popular fad that it is today?
This is by no means an easy question to answer, however, of
those who have attempted to answer it no answer seems better
then Dr. Webster Muck's. Dr. Muck has stated that streakers
should be placed in the same austere catagory as gold-fish
swallowers, phone-booth stuffers, and flag-pole sitters. All the
participants in these events are simply seeking attention, and if
they don't receive that attention, they will discontinue their

Marginal existence in
Christian, sociological
camps poses dilemma
by Chuck Jackson
On Thursday March 15, Ken Gowdy, assistant professor
of sociology, lectured on the topic "Is a Christian Social Scien~
e a Feasible Go~l?" Over 40 students and faculty attended
thIS lecture of the PI Gamma Mu series.
After reviewing and critiquing five possible responses (and
representative proponents) to the question, Gowdy subscribed
to the "no and yes" position which holds that "a 'Christian
sociology' (per se), is not a feasible goal." Rather, Gowdy felt
that we need a "'Christian-informed sociology' as well as a
'sociologically-informed Christian faith." These two concepts
"must be in critical dialogue with each other both within us
and among us. "
The student reactors to Gowdy's paper were Dan Olson
and Dick Halverson. Olson's reaction was not a position but a
revie~ an~ a critiq?~. He agreed with Gowdy on most points,
espeCIally In oppOSItion to those who contend a Christian social
science is f~asible. :'~o~ do they kno~ they are not reforming
and remoldmg ChrIstIamty under theu own presuppositions?"
he asked.
Halverson, defending the position which holds a Christian
social science as practicable, took exception with Gowdy in
Gowdy's critique of that position. Claiming that facts are
"valued abstractions," Halverson did not view social reality as
a str?ctly "sense-data given." This was important because, accordmg
to Halverson, "the paradigm of 'empirical' reality always
inserts a set of givens - either God or something else."
" Gowdy. reacted to Halverson's objections by stating that,
we must m some way be able to think empirically about
knowledge. I am not convinced by the value abstractions-fact
equation. The crucial issue is an epistemological question which
hasn't been answered."
The session next opened to questions from the audience
when, among other things, Dr. Bill Johnson asked whethe;
"on~'s .C~1ristianity value. presupposition had to be strictly in
the mdividual heart, not m the corporate discipline." Dr. Don
Larson, in supporting Gowdy and in disagreeing with Halverson,
retitled the lecture, "How Different We Would Like To Be
From The Rest Of The World."
Gowdy conceded that "the true Christian as true sociologist
is doomed to lead a marginal existence in both camps. "

Editor's note: We would like to take this space to publicly thank all those involved in
the Senate African Relief Project. Although there are too many involved to list here
we think that Dave Bjork and Dan Leafblad deserve special thanks for their role in th~
project. In the same manner the performers of the Stookey concert, those involved in
readying the gym for the concert, those who fasted and gave, and those who worked
often unnoticed, displayed most vividly what it really means to give of oneself. We
hope all students will support the next phase of the project, the pancake breakfasts.

"Love is what we came here for," sang
Mike Monroe and Phil Kitchen at Bethel's
African Benefit Concert, and no words
better describe the entire evening. It was
a love affair from beginning to end.
Over 2200 people squeezed into every
available space to hear Noel Paul Stookey,
Monroe, Kitchen, and Jay and Gail
Caress in a concert held March 13 by the
Senate African Relief Project. Over
$6,000 was raised, according to Dave
Bjork and Dan Leafblad who organized
the program, and the money will now be
sent to Food for the Hungry which will
use the funds in its work with victims of
the severe African famine.
Stookey, who is on his first major concert
tour in over four years, took part in
the concert "because I felt it was a responsibility.
Even though it meant that
I'd be doing eight concerts in eight days,
I was glad to be able to help out." And
when the full house gave Stookey a spontaneous
standing ovation, it was obvious
that the gratitude was mutual.
But it was by no means a one-man
show, as indicated by Stookey calling all
the performers up on stage to share in the
ovation. Jay and Gail started the evening,
followed by Kitchen and Monroe, who
sang a variety of songs, all the way from
"Rooty-Toot-Toot for the Moon" to
Denver's "Rocky Mountain High," and
finishing with "Love is What We Came
Here For."
And then came Stookey. For over an
hour his warm, open manner and brilliant
talent captivated the entire audience.
Mixing his well-known material, such as
"Hymn" and "The Wedding Song," with
new songs from an album which he stated
"may not get released," Stookey treated
the audience to an experience that few
will soon forget.

Plan now for
Interim 175
England trip
by John Greenwooa
In studying American history it is
rather obvious that we have obtained a
one-sided view of the American Revolution.
Was King George III really all that
bad? Were Grenville and Townshend tyrants
like most people think? Was Parliament
as close-minded and cold hearted
as our history makes it appear to have
been? These questions and many more
will be answered in Dr. Jim Johnson's
Interim class next year. Yes, you guessed
it! Dr. Johnson will be carrying a class to
London to study the American Revolution
through British eyes. Johnson will
be asking his students to become British-
Dr. Johnson
ers. It is going to be fascinating to really
get a "feel of things English," Johnson
The class will be divided up and each
student will have a special concern he or
she would like to study about. One group
of the students will be studying the views
that Parliament held at the time of the
Revolution. Another group will be researching
in some of the top universities
in London. Several students will be
studying the literature of eighteenth century
England, hoping to gain some insight
into the thinking of top scholars of
that period. An interesting field of study
will be what the Anglican ministers were
preaching at that time. One or two weekends
will be devoted to living with a
British family in the hope of learning
what a tea drinking society is really like.
Field trips to several of the universities
(Cambridge for one) will be arranged and
there will be debates with some of the
British students who may have ideas
conflicting with ours. The students will
be taken on tours in and out of London
to gain some kind of historical perspective.
During the study students will be
scattered throughout the city in museums,
libraries, universities, archives, and even
on the streets getting views from the
everyday citizen.
There are other questions to be encountered
during the stay in the Empire.
In studying the Parliamentary debates of
the eighteenth century it will be extremely
interesting to know who criticized the
colonists and who were sympathetic to
them. What was the attitude of the British
soldier during the Revolutionary War?
Did the British feel of the war in America
as many Americans felt of the Vietnam
War? Did Parliament think of the
colonists and who was sympathetic to
spoiled kids? What were the attitudes of
the merchants? Each week of the course
there will be two or three days where
Dr. Johnson will lecture and the students
will share their findings.
The trip will be structured to be as
economical as possible. The flight will
end in Paris. After a two day stay in the
City of Love (corn), a train will take the
students to the English Channel where a
ferry will be waiting to carry them ~o
Great Britain. During the month In
London the students will be staying in a
hotel that will conform to the economical
concern of the trip.
Stookey, from page three
It was not just a musical experience.
He shared himself with the audience, not
just his music. By the end of the evening
he had turned a cold gymnasium into the
warmth of his living room. Sharing stories
of his days with 'Peter Yarrow and Mary
Travers (of "Peter, Paul, and Mary"), as
well as stories of his meeting Jesus and the
changes that have occurred in his life,
Stookey seemed to touch the hearts of
those listening with true Christian love.
"This is one of the few times I've played
before an audience in the last few years, "
1713 N. Snelling

call 646-2323
related Stookey, "so this is a special occasion
for me." And when the audience
responded to that statement with a warm
ovation, it was in much more than appreciation
for his talents as a musician, it was
in appreciation for letting them share the
occasion with him.
Stookey lives in up-state New York,
although he plans on moving to a farm he
bought in Maine. "I think the Lord is putting
me out to pasture, literally, " he
joked, although he still is involved in writing
music, recording it, and also producing
other people's records in his home studio.
Will Peter, Paul, and Mary ever appear together
again? "Sure, its a possibility," he
stated, "but it's a matter of whether or
not we can agree on the material. . . .
There are things that I want to say
through my music."
Another part of the African Relief
Project involved a fast on the day before
the concert. Over 800 meals were skipped
by Bethel students and faculty, according
to Craig Brenneise, chairman of the Senate
Activities Committee, and their contributions
equaled $1292.73. Combined
with the net total of the concert ($5332),
this means that $6,624.73 was raised in
two days by the Bethel community for
the victims of the African drough t. Taking
into consideration that Food for the
Hungry maintains it is able to multiply
contributions by a ratio of 40 dollars to
every one-dollar gift, that means Bethel's
contribution conceivably totals almost a
quarter of a million dollars. This figure
does not include money from the pancake
breakfasts, which will be held in April.
But all cannot be measured in terms of
dollars and cents. When Stookey closed
the concert with a nostalgic sing-along
version of "Day is Done," it was with
reluctance that the crowd let him go. He
warmly hugged all the performers who
had taken part in the concert, as well as
scores of new friends who greeted him
after the concert, closing one of the most
extraordinary performances in Bethel's
history. "We're all looking for a way
Home," he said, and perhaps the entire
concert was a picture of what we will all
find there when we arrive.

The cop-out
Reactions to the surprising streak in chapel and to other
streaks range from disbelief, to mild humor, to complete disgust.
It is not our purpose here to classify the various reactions
of members of our community, and then to catagorize those
members correspondingly according to individual spirituality.
Presently all we will concede is that the chapel streakers managed
to hit at the very heart of our Christian community: our
corporate worship service.
Individuals certainly disagree in regard to the ultimate impact
of the micro-moral event of naked bodies running through
a Bethel College chapel service. Yet today we are confronted
with this as a national phenomenon. What does it mean? Is
America finally entering a phase of complete moral degeneracy?
Can a concerned individual fit streaking into his or her
conceptual framework and not come up with the conclusion
that the entire country is somehow going to the dogs? In this
nexus the current uproar and concern over the fad known as
streaking brings to mind a very disturbing and sobering
thought: surely there are more important things about which
to be concerned.
We think the undue concern given to streaking is a moral
indictment of the national state of mind, and particularly of the
mind of students today. For some, the most productive mode
of behavior on which they can think is the precise course their
naked bodies will navigate through a crowd of bemused or
shocked onlookers. For others, naked youths signify only another
symptom of the civil skid to moral and spiritual oblivion.
Still others, and this while most common is the most dangerous
perspective, feel that, "I'd rather have kids running
around naked than out protesting." It is with this third perspective
that we take greatest exception.
For all the excesses of the 60 's, there was on American
campuses a seething, if often uncontrollable, desire to somehow
right things wrong. At Bethel, especially through the vehicle of
the Student Senate African relief project, a significant contribution
has been made to combat the very grim, very ugly, and
very real curse of starvation, in the name of Christ. We plead
with students on this campus not to let that spirit die. Concern
of this sort should not be limited only to special events, but
should rather become ingrained in our guts, fighting the displaced
civil priorities of today: fadism, sex appeal, money and
Are there not more important topics to discuss, those
which will endure long after streaking has vanished from memory?
Whatever happened to the eternal questions of life on this
earth, of poverty, of use of resources, of corruption in government,
of destruction of nations and cultures, etc., etc., etc., ???
Are exposed genitals really more important than genocide? It
would seem so, if time devoted to discussion of each were any
The superficiality of the public dialogue in America today
poses a challenge to Christians. For this reason we feel there
is no place in the Christian's make-up for a cop-out mentality.
Christianity by definition deaIs with very real problems and
people, with a very real solution.
Streaking, then, is only an indication of greater social illness,
the illness of disillusionment and non-involvement. It is
our prayer that Christians by contrast, who by nature should
be genuinely involved in society, will do as much. The only
question is how to become involved. Christianity offers a wide
range of choices in answer to this question, for the spiritual
body has many members (Romans 124,5). The body must
have, for example, limbs, eyes, and voice; but it would be
tragic if those limbs were ever found lifeless, those eyes without
sight, or that voice silent.
Separation is not seclusion
Dear Editor:
In response to the My Opinion column of last week,
March 15, we would have to say that the writer should join a
monastery. But first we would like to know where he gathered
his information. What surveys did he take to back up his claims
of there being one chance out of 100 that the music "blaring"
from stereos isn 't Christian? Were not the rock bands that
played on campus Christian? We know for a fact that they
The writer of last week's column also made a rather generalized
and non-documented statement saying that of the personal
conversations between persons on campus there were 49
out of 50 conversations in which the topic was not Christ. We
would like to see the statistics that back up his statements. Are
all conversations to be sacred? When have there been secular
speakers in Chapel? We have personally attended every Chapel
service and have yet to hear a non-Christian speak. Who, by the
way, is to say that non-Christians don't have something to contribute
to this world? And we suppose the writer of last week's
column has the money in his pocket to build us a Chapel
building? First things first, please. This is a Christian College,
not a Seminary. We need an administration building!! We need
a Performing Arts Center!!
Last week's writer stated that "our direction is wrong."
We would like to counter this by saying that our direction is
pointed outward, not inward the way the writer implied.
Christ said, "Go ye into all the world to preach the Gospel
to every creature" (Mk. 16:15). Is Bethel, a missionary oriented
college, not doing this?
Betheli tes are not to live a life of seclusion! Christians are
not to live a life of seclusion! We are to live in the world, but
not be of the world. We cannot be separated from reality. The
Apostle Paul summed this up beautifully in I Corinthians 9:
19-23: "For though I am free from all men, I have made myself
a slave to all, that I might win the more. To all the Jews, I
became as a Jew, in order to win the Jews; to those under the
law I became as one under the law - though not being myself
under the law - that I might win those under the law. To those
outside the law I became as one outside the law - not being
without law toward God but under the law of Christ - that I

Shoes and
sealing wax
by David J. Healy
The way I see it, a school ought to have a few traditions.
An institution of higher education needs - in addition to an
academic reputation - some kind of historical solidarity and
sense of origins, plus a thread, as it were, to tie the years together
and give its present-day students a link with the past.
Now this might manifest itself in a variety of ways: a longstanding
fraternity; or an ancient, venerable looking edifice
(something ivy-covered, with wooden floors and porcelain
drinking fountains, preferably called "Old Main "); or a winning
football team; etc.
Unfortunately, Bethel has never had fraternities, its campus
is almost new, and its football fortunes have been a mixed
bag. And, Doc's History Department sign notwithstanding, we
just don't have many real ties to our past, nothing to maintain
a sense of corporate continuity and resist the ever-present
tendency toward fragmentation and alienation.
Simple geography accounts for much of this. Our new
campus hasn't had time to develop much "history." But other
factors have contributed, too. Our present curriculum contains
no specific course requirements, depriving students of a fixed,
year-in-and-year-out class such as Western Civ. Now Civ was
hardly a popular course, but precisely because of its unpopularity
it became a rallying point for generations of scholars.
The alumnus of ten years and the green freshman stood on
equal terms when discussing the evils of Western Civ. There
could be no generation gap then; Civ transcended time.
But alas, the time-transcenders are gone, and we are left
an institution without institutions. Some might argue that this
is both inevitable and for the better. After all, they would say,
our antiquated Snelling campus may have some sentimental
value, but who would argue that it outweighs the practi~al
value of the infinitely greater living and learnmg potential
afforded by our new campus? And while fraternities may promote
tradition, they also foster divisiveness and elitism. And
surely we cannot stand in the way of intellectual progress by
hanging on to outdated, irrelevant courses. And is it worth the
risk of yielding to a mercenary spirit in order to build an athletic
No doubt these people would raise objections to many
other traditions. And they'd probably be legitimate objections.
Time waits for no man and all that .... But there is one institution
that could be revived from its torpid state and restored
to some level of usefulness without sacrificing philosophical
considerations, one harmless little nostalgic enterprise
that might replace a few missing historical links. I speak of the
The Spire's lot has been a varied one of late. Moving away
from the traditional yearbook style, it has taken on a multitude

There are plenty of other areas in which to go avant-garde
where the end result will be functional. But if a college annual
is to serve its purpose, it ought to be absolutely traditional in
format, changing neither from year to year nor from campus
to campus.
The 1958 Spire is a case in point. From the picture of the
College Building on the first page to the Senior Activity List on
the last, this Spire says "yearbook" all the way. There's a table
of contents: Academics, Classes, Groups, Athletics, Activities,
Seminary, and Advertising. There are pictures of teams, clubs,
and other organizations. Individual shots of all students and
faculty members. Statistics of the various sports.
One other feature emerges. The traditional yearbook was
a practical book. It provided answers to such questions as:
"Who spoke at Founders Week?" "How did the baseball team
do?" "Who was in the Senate?" One happens upon such information
in a recent Spire only by chance, if at all.
Just one more illustration. On page 18 of the '58 Spire
there is a picture of Carl Lundquist. It's a full-length affair,
with the President standing by a bookcase. Got it? Now move
ahead to the 1962 edition. It's four years later. The students
who were freshmen in '58 have graduated. Eisenhower has
given way to Kennedy in the White House. The world has
undergone radical transformation. But on page 22 President

Glader disputes phy ed editorial
Dear Editor:
First of all, I would like to express appreciation for your
recent editorial on physical education. In response to that editorial
on February 22, I would like to set forth a brief rationale
for the current physical education proficiency requirement. In
doing this I realize the difficulty on your part and mine in
attempting to adequately state our positions in a brief editorial
and response.
The healthy emphasis on physical education at Bethel is
based on the premise that man was created by God as a triune
being with a body, mind or intellect, and spirit or soul. These
three dimensions of man can, to a degree, be considered as
separate entities, but man is also a "whole" being. All of us
realize the influence physical fitness and recreation can have on
a person's physical and mental health and the influence our
physical and mental health can have on our being as a
"whole." Because of this relationship a Christian liberal arts
education needs to include an emphasis on adult physical fitness
and leisure time recreational activities.
Because you stated that you believed physical education
was vital to a Christian liberal arts curriculum I will not attempt
to explain further the rationale for physical education.
It is my understanding that your basic question relates to the
nature of the proficiency requirement in the curriculum and
not about physical education per se.
May I point out an inconsistency in your argument? First
of all, no particular physical education course is required at
Bethel. Students are only expected to demonstrate proficiency
in physical education. These proficiency standards could be
met as a result of an excellent high school physical education
program or of several other types of physical education experiences.
The current curriculum requires at least one course or experience
in four separate divisions and four separate concern
categories. Physical education does not fit into any of those

Senate board
considers new
Spire format
by Chuck Jackson
The Communications Board of the
Student Senate, Dan Blomquist, chairman,
has released information concerning
the format of the 1974-1975 Spire. In a
departure from a book format, the Board
is entertaining the idea of abandoning the
yearbook in its present form, and of replacing
it with a greatly expanded Clarion,
which would contain a bi-weekly
photo essay feature .
Students would receive, either at the
end or beginning of the year, a binder in
which the expanded Clarions would be
bound. Advantages of this format would
include a yearbook/newspaper completed
in June, a yearbook with actual news as
copy, and fewer budgetary problems. In
addition, the fact that no one has applied
for the 1974-1975 Spire editorship is
also a consideration.
Concern arises over whether a yearbook
will be missed. For this reason students
are asked to contact Blomquist, or
any of the other members of the Board:
Bob Winter, Claire Kolmodin, Bruce
Wray, Bob Moeller, Sue Swanson, Dr.
Wilbee, or Alvera Mickelsen, if they have
any input on this matter.

Senate meeting, if input is to be

New impetus was recently added to the
push for separate Bethel College and Seminary
commencements. The Convocation
and Commencement Committee voted
March 12 to present a Student Senate resolution
endorsing separate commence-ments
to the College and Seminary faculties
for action.
The Student Senate resolution reads:
"We propose that Bethel College and
Bethel Seminary have their own respective
commencement exercises starting
in 1974 for the following reasons:
(1) To allow the College and the Seminary
more flexibility in forming their
academic calendars.
(2) To allow the establishment of an
individual identity for both the College
and the Seminary.
(3) To provide more opportunity to
publicly recognize the singular achievements
of the College and Seminary
students. "
The committee, headed by James
Johnson, also recommended that the resolution
be sent to President Carl Lundquist.
Other committee members include
Doug Dahlquist and Marvin Anderson of
the Seminary, Don Larson and Ralph Joly
of the College, and two Bethel students -
Tim Martens and Dave Johnson.
Dr. Johnson remarked that he expected
little opposition to the resolution from
either faculty, but that the final decision
would rest with President Lundquist.
V.B.l., continued from page one
wouldn't get in the average Sunday
School class.
In 1957 the Baptist General Conference
of America took over the property
and administration of VBI. The school
was go:verned by the Board of Trustees,
and was supported under Home Missions.
VBI remains an orthodox Christian
Bible college. Although it is not accredited,
it is authorized as a member of the
Evangelical Teacher Training Association
and the Association of Canadian Bible
Colleges to offer bachelors' degrees in
religious education and theology, as well
as three-year' diplomas and one-year certificates
in Biblical studies.
Part of the negative feelings arise over
the matter of support. The Conference
supplies VBI with about $93,000 or about
$930 for each of VBI's 100 students. In
comparison, Bethel receives only about
$320 per student from the Conference.
However, this can't be accepted without
first realizing that Bethel receives far more
support than VBI as gifts from alumni and
other sources.

In 1972, a recommendation was made
by the Board of Trustees that VBI be
placed under the administration of the
Board of Regents, as Bethel now is. This
move will be voted on in June, and it
looks as if the proposal will be accepted.
This presents more problems.
According to Bethel Student Body
President Dan Nelson, one problem is
distance. "The Board of Regents will have
to find a way to govern the three schools
(VBI, Bethel College and Bethel Seminary)
in two countries over a distance of
nearly 1400 miles," said Nelson. "There
is going to have to be a lot of re-structuring
done within the Board."
Another problem is purpose. John
Anderson, pastor of Central Baptist
Church in St. Paul and newly elected
member of the Board of Regents, sees inefficiency
in the present arrangement.
"Even though VBI is not educating people
to become pastors, some of them do become
pastors," said Mr. Anderson. "That
is what the Seminary is here for. Moreover,
VBI courses and Bethel courses are
not interchangeable. "
However, the Board of Regents has
ideas on solving these problems.
President Carl Lundquist explained the
proposed plan of administration. "The
Board will appoint a chief executive for
VBI, who will report to the board and
seek to cement relations with the school.
Then after one year, the Board of Regents
will be given active jurisdiction.
"This may involve setting up VBI as an
accredited school capable of transferring
courses to Bethel," said President Lundquist,
who is the Board of Regents' chief
administrator for Bethel. "Or, VBI may
become a kind of 'Bethel West.' In any
case, we shall seek to make the purposes
of the schools mesh."
Is there a need for VBI in the BGC?
The fact that the number of students enrolled
at VBI has topped 100 and is still
rising seems to indicate that there is a
But why the change of administration?
The best explanation is offered by
Dr. Harold Christenson, Bethel's director
of church relations and a former trustee.
"The change may not seem 'good' right
now, but it is the logical move," he said.
"The quality of education in the Baptist
General Conference, if it is to rise, must
be directed by one board. "

Question: What is available for summer
jobs at Bethel? I live in this area and it
would be convenient for me to work
here. Who do we go and see? I hope that
I don't have to know any "top brass" in
order to get a job because that seems contrary
to everything Bethel stands for.
Thanks. C.J., freshman.
Why is Edgren Dormitory always locked?
It is a real pain for anyone trying to buzz

Enrollment up
for next year
by Bill Trollinger
As colleges and universities across the
nation face dropping enrollments, where
is Bethel College? Is it still growing, or is
Bethel following the path of other academic
institutions in a downward trend?
In an interview with Jim Bragg, director
of College Relations, he said that the
goal for the 1974-1975 school year is
1350 students, a slight increase from this
year. Note the word "goal." Applications
for next year are far ahead of last year,
thus posing a problem. Taking into consideration
the present housing and classroom
space, and with the current number
of faculty members, 1350 is the maximum
number of students Bethel can accommodate
in an optimum situation.
What will be done? Bragg commented,
"We can either close applications early,
thus limiting the enrollment to approxi-
Glader, continued from page six
mately 1350 students; or, we can take all
students that apply and then find ways to
house them, etc." If the latter is chosen,
then additional uses of the Snelling campust
might be employed. Of course, the
enrollment situation hinges upon the possibility
of more building on New Campus.
No decision has been reached yet, but action
will be taken after March.
Art Dept gets
2 new profs
by Sidney Dinwoodie
Those who frequent Bethel's Art Department
will have noticed two newcomers
to the teaching staff.
Dave Johnson, a native Minnesotan, is
teaching part time at Bethel this semester.
Mr. Johnson received his Associate of
Arts degree at Northwestern Michigan
College, Michigan, in 1965 and continued
his studies at the University of Minnesota
'where he received his B.F.A. in 1970 and
his M.F.A. in 1972. He has taught at Macalester
and the U. of M. and worked as a
tour guide at the Walker Art Center before
coming to Bethel. His wor k has been
exhibited in such shows as the' Group
Show at the Jody Lee Gallery in St. Paul,
the National Graphic Competition and
Exhibition at the U. of South Dakota and
the Greater New Orleans National Exhibition
in Louisiana. Dave enjoys teaching
at Bethel and finds the atmosphere open
and relaxing.
Dick Clemenson, also of Minnesota, is
teaching full time at Bethel. Mr. Clemenson
received a B.A. in business adminisstration
at Luther College in Iowa and
worked for a time as an industrial designer.
He returned to college at Macalester
to earn a B.A. and Masters of E.D. in art
and later joined the staff. In addition to
teaching at Bethel, Mr. Clemenson is
self-employed as a design consultant and
director of the Aesthetics Research Association
which produces interdisciplinary
educational materials. Mr. Clemenson has
recently displayed his work at an exhibition
at Augsburg College.
categories because it is a special area of concern. Therefore,
the special proficiency requirement has been included in
the curriculum. Perhaps the physical education proficiency
should be listed as a fifth area of concern. This might preclude
the implication that it is something extra tacked on to the list
of graduation requirements. That would be the way I would
prefer to have physical education included in the current curriculum.
However, I am satisfied with the current method of
including physical education. What is important is that a proficiency
in physical education be a part of every Bethel student's
education. It is not important that we grade all learning
experiences or fit them into a certain fixed pattern. What is
important is that we have meaningful learning experiences and
determine certain guidelines or requirements in the curriculum
as an assurance that all students receive a liberal arts education.
Therefore, it does not bother me that physical education
is not listed as one of the 34 courses required for graduation.
I am just pleased that our faculty and administration accept
and support the uniqueness of physical education and continue
to include it as a special area of concern in the curriculum.

In conclusion I am going to relate a brief conversation I
had with Dr. Dalphy Fagerstrom, a former American history
professor at Bethel. This conversation took place when the
physical education department was recommending academic
credit for its courses about eleven years ago. While discussing
the issue at that time Dr. Fagerstrom said to me, "Gene, don't
equate physical education with history, English and the traditional
academic subjects. Physical education is different.
Nobody is denying its importance, we just think it's different
or special. It ought not to be handled in the curriculum the
same way we handle history.
That conversation had a profound influence on me as a
young teacher at Bethel and continues to influence my philosophy
of physical education. I believe physical education is
different and special. I also believe that a student has not received
a complete Christian liberal arts education if this special
discipline is omitted or neglected.
Gene Glader
Chairman of the Physical Education Department
Editor's note:
1) May we point out an inconsistency in your argument? Even
though no particular phy ed course is required, students are
still compelled to satisfy this proficiency. We are not contesting
the means to fulfill this requirement; we are contesting
the requirement per se.
2) Many departments may be avoided under the current curriculum.
This is no reason to compel physical education.
3) Quoting a former history professor does not prove your
point; we know of physical edu~ation majors who agree with
by John Merritt
You've probably seen a number of crazy Bethel students
trudging around in the slush and snow with a couple of golf
clubs slung over their shoulders. No, they are not practicing
with their snow wedges. More than likely they are members of
the Bethel golf team heading for the practice net in the gym
balcony or looking for a snow-free patch of grass out of which
to take a divot.
There are seven golfers this year working together for the
four or five competitive match positions. Ted Johnson, John
Van Gorkom and John Merritt are the three returning lettermen
along with Pete Anderson who also participated last year.
Bill Peterson, Tom Steeler, and Tim Van Gorkom show much
promise and will complement this year's team. We feel that
there will be no outstanding player in relation to the other
team members, but that the first four or five will be very evenly
matched. If this turns out to be the case, consistent play
from the number three and four golfers will be imperative to
back up the number one and two golfers, who usually face
tough competition.
In light of the present fuel costs and shortages, Coach Ray
Fischer has scheduled nearly all matches in the Twin City area
with MAlA schools. The season will be climaxed with the TriState
Conference meet being held on the Sioux Falls course.
Providing that the cold and wet weather breaks up soon,
the Royal linksters will play their first match against Hamline
on March 28. All Bethel home matches are held at Como Park,
and yes, golf is a spectator sport.
Narvaez: varsity
tennis turns co-ed
by Curtis Kregness
Bethel's tennis team enters its 1974 season with sweet
memories of last year's Tri-State Conference championship. Of
14 men and two women now out for tennis, five are returning
veterans who will make up the core of this year's team.
Those five are Paul Reasoner and Dave Carpenter - probable
co-captains for this season - Dan Joling, Lanny Law, and
Dean Held. Waiting to be tested are Bill De Voe, Dana Hofseth
Darrell Lovins Mark McClung, Tom McKnight, Steve
Harris, Dan Swansod, Steve Hildebrandt, Dana Doolittle, Judy
Bromar and John Esslinger. This is the largest turnout for
tennis that Coach Eric Narvaez can remembe,r, an~ "the f~~st
time any women have gone out for the Royals tenms team.
Because of the large number of players, Narvaez has dra~n
up a junior varsity schedule to allow everyone as much playmg
time as possible.
Bethel's lack of tennis courts has forced the team to conduct
improvised practices in the gym, but several ea~ly-morning
practices have been held at the nearby Ard~n HIlls Club,
which houses private indoor courts. Those practices, however,
are impractical on a regular basis because of the cost of renting
the courts. As a result of this situation, a committee has
been formed to conduct a fund-raising drive for the purpose of
obtaining eight outdoor tennis courts on the Bethel campus.
The committee - consisting of tennis team members and
interested Bethel alumni - has set a goal of $48,000 to be
reached by JUly 1. The drive was officially started last Saturday,
and will attempt to solicit funds from Bethel stUdents,
alumni, local corporations, and the Arden Hills public (who
would have free access to the courts if they are con~tructed).
The tennis team has also planned a tentative spring trip
over Easter Vacation. If enough money can be raised, the
Royals will travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to compete there against
Oral Roberts University.
In two pre-season scrimmages last week, the Royals lost to
Macalester College but later downed Hamline University. In
that winning match, Reasoner, Joling, Carpenter, and Swanson
gained singles' victories, and Reasoner and De Voe won their
doubles' contest. Tomorrow, Bethel's third scrimmage will be
against the University of Minnesota's Extramurals team.
The first match of the netmen's regular season has not
yet been set.
Trackmen finish
third in Mac meet
by Stephen Butler
Last Saturday the Bethel tracksters journeyed to Macalester
to compete in a meet with Mac and St. Thomas. The final
score was Macalester 69, St. Thomas 63, Bethel 51.
Larry Caldwell broke the freshmen school records in the
one and two mile runs with a 4:31.9 and a 10:00.0 respectively.
Fred Okerlund broke the freshman 176-yard intermediate
hurdle record with a 23.3. Craig Oslin broke the school high
jump record with a jump of 6'4".
Bethel dominated the field events, Mac the sprints, and
St. Thomas the long runs, and most of the track men improved
their personal best. The next meet will be at March 23 at Mankato.

Primary Care Resource Initiative for Missouri
The Primary Care Resource Initiative for Missouri (PRIMO) is a multi-faceted approach to the health care delivery services for all Missourians.
Four components of PRIMO
- Student Loans
- Recruitment/Placement
- Health Professional Loan Repayment
- Health Care Delivery Systems
The PRIMO Student Loan Program is a competitive state program that awards forgivable loans to students pursuing health care training leading to Missouri licensure.
Eligible Health Disciplines
- Primary care physicians (internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, family medicine)
- Primary care dentists (general dentistry, pediatrics)
- Dental hygienists
Amount of funding provided depends upon the student's chosen discipline and educational status.
Repayment of loans can be completed either through cash repayment at 9.5 percent simple interest or through obtaining qualifying employment to earn forgiveness. Forgiveness is based upon the number of loans received. Example: one loan equates to one year of service; two loans equates to two years of service, etc based on full-time qualifying employment. Qualifying employment is capped at five (5) years even in the event a PRIMO participant receives more than five loans. Qualifying employment is considered as full-time, direct patient care at a facility located in an area of need which is also referred to as a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA). The licensed PRIMO participant must accept Medicaid/MC+ and work at an employment site which operates on a sliding fee scale basis. Professional health services must be provided to the general population.
The program would like to acknowledge gratitude to the Missouri Hospital Association for its donations to PRIMO student loan.
Applications can be obtained by downloading the Health Professional Student Loan Universal Application, or contacting the Office of Primary Care and Rural Health (contact information on right side of this webpage).

Kate Hudson Celebrates Muse's Paris Show With Matthew Bellamy
Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy held hands in Paris last night after his band, Muse, performed at the city's Bercy venue. They're together in France after Kate flew in from LA with their young son Bingham Bellamy and older child Ryder Robinson yesterday morning. Kate was in LA for the last week or so, tending to her West Coast business after a stint on the Boston set of her HBO project, Clear History. This week, Kate also had the excitement of her new Ann Taylor ads being released. Matt's got his fair share of promotional work to do, too. His band, Muse, released their sixth album, The 2nd Law, on Oct. 2, and are in the midst of a European tour. Tomorrow, they'll take the stage in Madrid before the return to France for a gig in Nantes. It seems Kate and the boys are traveling with Muse, since they were seen boarding a jet out of Paris this morning.

Texas Home to First Smartphone Assembled in USA
The grand opening of Flextronics' new manufacturing facility was celebrated Tuesday, Sept. 10 in Fort Worth.
The company will provide final assembly and customization for Motorola Mobility's Moto X smartphone. This is the first smartphone designed, engineered and assembled in the United States.
"Make no mistake: Flextronics and Motorola could have put this facility anywhere in the world, but they chose Texas," Texas Gov. Rick Perry said. "One of the reasons Texas excels at creating jobs and new technology is that we free people from over taxation, over regulation and over litigation so they can focus on doing their best work. By freeing people to create, experiment and innovate, we truly bring out their best. And they bring out the best in Texas."
Motorola Mobility, a Google company, designs and manufactures smartphones, tablets and wireless accessories. A leader in the mobile communications industry, Motorola announced the opening of the new North Texas facility in May of this year in coordination with its contract manufacturing partner Flextronics.
The facility is creating 2,500 new jobs in the state. Texas' growing influence as a leader in technology and strong transportation infrastructure were key to the location of this facility, according to the Governors Office.
Manufacturing employment in Texas has grown by 7.2 percent since 2010. The state leads the nation in the total value of shipments manufactured goods and comes in second for the total number of manufacturing jobs.
In addition, computer and electronic product manufacturing is a top exporting industry in Texas, which has contributed to the Lone Star State being ranked as the number one exporting state for 11 years in a row by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
