PLA filament Silver 2.85 mm 1000 g for 3D printers is of superior quality, produced in The Netherlands.Real filaments guarantees high-quality and diameter consistent filament, giving you the best 3D printing experience.
PLA (polylactic acid) filament is amongst the oldest and still the most heavily used mediums in the 3D printing community, mainly due to its benefits as a versatile and environmentally friendly thermoplastic. Both organic and biodegradable, PLA is easily compounded with other ingredients to influence its final properties, for example flexibility and metallically. The uncolored form of Real PLA is a translucent off-white color and has a printing temperature between 195 - 205 degrees (depending on hot end characteristics). Darker colors of Real may require a few extra degrees of temperature due to the coloring process. The filament should extrude smoothly and appear slightly shiny. PLA is denser and tougher than ABS, but is more brittle and susceptible to cracking under high loads. It is also less resistant to the outdoor elements (UV light and water) than other common thermoplastics (see Nylon, ABS and PET-G).
PLA can print well on an unheated surface using Blue Painters or Kapton tape, and most 3D print stickers. For ease and convenience, we recommend using spray such as 3DLAC on a glass bed. A low bed temperature between 50 - 60 degrees further reduces the chance of warping and makes final print removal easier once the print surface has cooled.
Real filament is an independent manufacturer of high quality filament, produced locally in The Netherlands with a specific emphasis on thermoplastic purity. There are no cost-saving "filler" additives that may impact performance or reliability. Real gives you consistent print conditions at a low price, making it amongst the highest value filaments on the market.
The range of thermoplastic filament choices continues to multiply at an increasing rate, ranging from established brands to highly specialized compounds. For this reason, Real has created a broad catalog of options, and developed the flexibility to produce customized batches tailored to your preferences in color, material or diameter. Contact our sales team for more information, or review the product data sheets and specifications directly on the Real filament website.
Whether you're part of the DIY RepRap community or use a high end professional 3D printer, Real filament is universally compatible to give you great results.

It's great when someone gets nailed for taking actions that endanger public health. For some, including me, it's even better when that someone getting busted is a government entity that acted as if the law didn't apply to them.
That's what happened last week when a federal court ruled that the city of St. Louis and the city-owned Lambert-St. Louis International Airport violated federal asbestos safety standards when they demolished asbestos-laden buildings in Bridgeton, a
community in the path of a new runway.
The EPA calls the technique the "wet method," and hopes to use it in urban areas throughout the country. In using the technique, the environmental agency ignores its own detailed regulations requiring the removal, bagging and safe disposal of the cancer-causing asbestos from the structure.
Instead, water hoses were used to blast the contaminant from pipes, walls, ceilings and attics.
Beginning in 2000, St. Louis officials started destroying 2,000 structures for the construction the runway and the unauthorized method was used for more than three years.
In mid-2004, The Post-Dispatch reported that airport contractors had used the untested "wet method" on 260 homes and had plans for hundreds more. They seemed not to care that many of the homes nearby were still occupied by people who had yet to settle on the forced sales.
This did not keep contractors from targeting neighboring homes with the high-pressure streams, which, in many cases, sent the asbestos-carrying water streaming down neighborhood streets.
Many of EPA's top toxicologists and asbestos experts decried the technique as dangerous, insisting that the effectiveness of the processed be carefully evaluated for safety. Other EPA technicians insisted that the unusual method was a "major money-saver," and should be used. Headquarters supported the pro-industry stance until some members of Congress weighed in.
The same EPA officials that supported the St. Louis testing wanted to use the method to bring down a motel in Fort Worth and continue to try to use it in poor sections of other Texas cities. AS it happens, the method's most vocal supporter is Richard Greene, EPA's regional administration in Dallas. A former mayor of Arlington, Texas, he said the technique is a great idea. Yet I have found no indications that he has called for health studies on the method.
The successful suit against St. Louis officials was brought by Public Justice. The non-profit public interest law firm sued in behalf of people who lived near the demolished buildings and were concerned that their health was threatened by asbestos releases during the demolitions.
"This is the first time a federal court has held a city liable for violating federal asbestos safety standards," said Public Justice Environmental Enforcement Director Jim Hecker, co-counsel in the case.
"It's outrageous that public health officials risked exposing an entire community to asbestos, just so the city and the airport authority could save money by using a cheaper asbestos removal method."
Those who lived in the community, especially those with children, worried about about asbestos fibers float freely when the runoff water dried.
"The Airport Authority used the illegal wet method on three houses within a block of my home while I was living there," said Carole Donnelly, a Bridgeton resident. "I am outraged that no one told me that this method was illegal and that required steps to protect my health were ignored."
Sean Donnelly, who also lived nearby added: "The city and the airport authority conducted an illegal and immoral human experiment on our community without our knowledge or consent."
Public Justice successfully fought another EPA effort to use the method in Ft. Worth late last year.
Some in EPA say they hope that when and if Greene is replace with the change of administrations, calmer heads will prevail and conduct the extensive testing needed to determine whether the wet method is actually safe to use.
Most agree that a new technique for removing asbestos would be useful, but only if it does no harm.
If you want a lot more detail on what happened in St. Louis, here is a link.

After January 1, 2014 will continuous creditable coverage still be required for acceptance into any individual health insurance plans for people with pre-existing conditions? Also is there a limit to how many times in 2013 I can switch insurance companies as long as I've had continuous coverage? Could I theoretically stay three months with Kaiser, then go to Blue Shield for three months and then to a third company — with my pre-existing conditions not disqualifying me for coverage, or being waived for six months.
California Dreaming and just past 60
Dear California Dreaming,
In 2014, insurers will have to accept all customers and pay for their care, no matter if the care is for pre-existing conditions. The insurer cannot refuse to sell you a plan and cannot refuse to pay for your illnesses.
This is not true in 2013, as you know. Each plan that you join will check your previous plan, and can refuse to pay for your pre-existing conditions. In theory, you could change plans every three months and still be covered (pre-existing conditions and all). As long as you did not have a 63-day gap between plans, all would be well.

USL&H coverage and Marine industry employers
USL&H coverage
The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Act requires federal workers' compensation coverage for any non-public Ohio employer with employees engaged in maritime-related work, such as ship building or repair, and other maritime operations, unless the U.S. Department of Labor has specifically authorized the employer to self-insure.
BWC offers this coverage to Ohio employers through the Marine Industry Fund. The Marine Industry Fund was created to assist Ohio employers whose private insurance carriers no longer offer USL&H coverage or who could no longer afford the coverage because of high premium rates.
The offering of USL&H coverage through the Marine Industry Fund has no effect on an employer's state workers' compensation coverage. Ohio workers' compensation coverage and USL&H coverage are two distinct types of coverage. An employer with one type of liability coverage is not exempt from the other type of liability, if the operations involved in the business show a need for that type of coverage. It is possible that some Ohio employers will need both types of coverage to comply with their legal obligations.
Although USL&H coverage is required for certain maritime employers, obtaining this coverage from BWC is optional. You can obtain it through private insurance carriers or you can apply to the U.S. Department of Labor for self-insurance.
To obtain USL&H coverage from BWC's Marine Industry Fund, the employer must submit an application for coverage available from BWC's Employer Services Division. Once approved you report payroll and pay premiums semiannually.
Marine industry employers
Marine Industry employers are those whose employees work, in whole or in part, upon the navigable waters of the United States. This includes pier, wharf, dry dock, terminal, building way, marine railway and other adjoining areas customarily used by an employer in loading, unloading, repairing or building a vessel.
In Ohio, navigable waterways include but are not limited to:
- Lake Erie;
- Ohio River;
- Muskingum River;
- Lower Maumee River;
- Cuyahoga River.
View the Marine Industry Fund fact sheet for additional information.

If you were a Congressman, these numbers would make you tremble: Scott Rasmussen finds that an astonishing 71 percent of voters describe themselves as angry at the current policies of the federal government. That's up five percent since September. A plurality of 46 percent say they are "very angry" at the federal government. That's up 10 percent since September.
Not surprisingly, voters continue to reject the Democrats' health care proposals by, currently, 53-41 percent.
And, while the Republicans have not been able to take advantage of voter disenchantment with the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats as effectively as they might, voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight of ten issues, including the economy (48-36), taxes (47-36) and national security (50-37).
The Democrats have less than a year to turn those attitudes around. Currently, voters' negative views of the Democrats are hardening, not softening.

Two Chefs Plus Three Goats at One Market Restaurant
What do you get when you put two chefs together with three goats?
The makings of a deliriously delicious evening.
Such was the case last week at One Market restaurant in San Francisco, when resident Chef Mark Dommen invited Chef Staffan Terje of Perbacco in San Francisco to cook with him on a multi-course feast that was all about goat.
The event was part of the "Dinner Party Project," a series of dinners throughout July hosted by SF Chefs, the food and wine extravaganza that officially takes place July 30-Aug. 5. The dinners bring together two or more chefs to collaborate on a themed dinner. A portion of proceeds of each dinner benefits the Center for Urban Education and Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA), which operates the Ferry Building farmers market.
I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest to the dinner, which kicked off with Terje's spectacular goat leg tartare. The mild red meat got a hit of crunch from diced celery heart, a pop of salinity from Cantabrian anchovy and floral acidity from preserved Meyer lemons.
Dommen lobbed with goat liver terrine and goat mortadella with fresh apricots and apricot mustardo. It was the type of food that made you wish you were on a picnic in the south of France.

Will Muschamp walked into his National Signing Day press conference just like any other press conference he's done. He donned the usual business casual attire, but you could tell by the faint circles underneath his eyes it had been a long and grueling conclusion to an the exhausting couple of years it took to reign these 2013 kids into the University of Florida.
Despite the fatigue that was settling in at this point of the day, Muschamp still stood proud at what he and his coaching staff had accomplished.
National Signing Day was once again a successful day Muschamp and the Florida Gators as they once again signed a top five recruiting class.
Because Muschamp was a former defensive coordinator before becoming the Gators' coach, it's a part of the game he takes seriously and he takes that attitude with him into the recruiting world.
This year's class had 28 total signees and 15 of those signees were on the defensive side of the football.
One characteristic Muschamp used to define this class was "committed." Only two of the defensive signees actually committed on National Signing Day, while the other 13 had already pledged their commitment to the Gators, which Muschamp took a lot of pride in.
"This is a very committed class. You look at a lot of these guys and these are guys that have been committed for a long time. There wasn't a lot of flash in their recruiting process and that's the kind of guys you want," Muschamp said. "They go through a lot, there's a lot of pressure on these young men. So you have got to respect that."
"I've never understood what is the difference about a guy committing in March and a guy committing on Signing Day."
Over the past two full recruiting cycles, Muschamp has stressed the importance of the line of scrimmage in the SEC, calling it a "line of scrimmage league."
Muschamp certainly has added depth to the line of scrimmage as the Gators signed seven defensive linemen in this 2013 recruiting class, including a signing day commitment from Port St. Lucie (Fla.) and four-star defensive tackle Jay-nard Bostwick.
"Jay-nard was a young man that came down to three schools and we were real pleased to get him on the last visit," Muschamp said. "He had a great visit and we felt very comfortable. [Defensive backs coach] Travaris Robinson did a great job of recruiting him throughout the entire process."
Another area that saw a lot of attention from Muschamp was the linebacker position. The Gators already have three early enrollees at the linebacker position, including Alex Anzalone, who flipped to Florida just before the deadline.
Although Matt Rolin is still recovering from an ACL injury, Muschamp believes Rolin and Anzalone, along with the other incoming freshmen will have ample opportunities to earn immediate playing time next season.
"Matt Rolin is rehabbing his knee and doing very well, but he won't go through spring. All of those decisions will be made in August when we get these guys on the field and we can coach them," Muschamp said about freshmen having an immediate impact. "There's a lot of time from here until August as our team continues to develop in the offseason program."
The "No Fly Zone", as the 2013 secondary signees have dubbed their incoming group, has developed a close bond over the course of the recruiting process. With players like Nick Washington, Keanu Neal, Marcell Harris and Vernon Hargreaves III, the future looks bright for the Gators' secondary.
Washington and others developed the reputation as the best recruiters among the 2013 class and had a part in convincing his fellow signees to eventually choose Florida.
"They understand the importance of having good players around them. This coaching stuff is way overrated. It's about players," Muschamp said.
However, Muschamp was impressed with the maturity of these signees, especially in Harris and Hargreaves III. He attributed their advanced progression in those areas to the early exposure they had to high-major college football through their fathers.
"[Hargreaves III] also has a coach sitting in the head room in the house," Muschamp said. "Vernon, Sr. is a really good football coach and [Hargreaves III] has been able to see these things through the process. He's been able to see recruiting and to see hard coaching by his father at big time places.
"Marcell Harris, I would say the same thing about Mike, his dad. He kind of understands the process in recruiting and what to hear and what to look past. These guys have been exposed to a lot," he added.
Perhaps the biggest asset in getting the signatures from one of the better secondaries in the 2013 recruiting class was Robinson, the defensive backs coach. Muschamp recognized Robinson as a key player in their recruitments and believes he showed a lot of promise for the future.
"Travaris does an outstanding job. He's a great people person. He relates very well with people and he's an outstanding football coach," Muschamp said. "And a guy that has a very bright future at the University of Florida."

Lady Knights Hope to Take Next Step
firstname.lastname@example.com Neighbor Newspapers.Com
After making three straight trips to the Elite Eight of the state playoffs, the St. Francis Lady Knights entered the 2012-2013 season with plans of taking the next step as a program.
Off to a 5-3 start on the season, a 2-0 mark in 6A play, and still awaiting the return of their best player, head coach Aisha Gaddis thinks her team is well on their way to doing just that.
"Falling short the last three years I think our girls, and especially our seniors, came into this year wanting to win a title after always coming so close," said Gaddis, now in her fourth year at the program's head.
"We have four seniors, four juniors and most of them have been here since they were freshman. If we can get healthy, I think we have a great shot to take that next step and make a run."
The Lady Knights have been led by senior forward Antoinette Brown (16.7 points per game) and junior guard Candice Williams (14.8 points) through the early portion of the season. The dynamic scoring duo has teamed with guards Jade Davis (5.6 points, 3.1 assists, 3.6 steals) and Abby Grant (11.4 [points) to give St. Francis a small, but incredibly athletic lineup.
"Speed, speed and more speed has been our strength," said Gaddis. "We are guard heavy but that isn't a bad thing because we probably have the best guards in all of [Class A]. We're at our best when we are getting after it on defense with a press and running the floor on offense."
St. Francis' talented backcourt stands to get even better in the coming weeks with the return of Nigia Greene, a 5-foot-9 senior guard that has signed to play at the University of Miami and averaged 18.6 points a game last season before tearing her ACL in March.
"We thought it would be tough without her, but we've done well so far. We're planning to get her back at some point in January and hopefully she will give us a boost heading towards [the state tournament]," said Gaddis.
The Lady Knights will play in the PeachState Holiday Basketball Tournament this week at Holy Innocents' before returning to region play Jan. 8 against Walker.

When I tell people that my dream job is to be an FBI agent, their first reaction is either, "Wow, that's so cool!" or "Oh my god! What made you choose that?"
I'm not surprised. It's the rare teenager, after all, who wants to work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And I may not have made that choice had I not joined the Hercules Police Explorers Post 2111 a couple of years ago.
Police Explorers are teens and young adults who are interested in law enforcement, military or national security jobs. I first heard about the group the summer before I entered the eighth grade, when I visited its booth at the Hercules Cultural Festival. But I didn't sign up until after I heard a few alumni speak during a high school career day about their careers as police officers.
The rest is history. Now, I can't imagine my life without Police Explorers. Every Wednesday, we hold two-hour meetings where we learn about tactics and practice scenarios such as high-risk traffic stops, pedestrian stops, 5150 (involuntary psychiatric hold) and vehicle searches. In addition to tactical skills, the group has taught me that determination and motivation are crucial to success. If I don't push myself, I won't achieve my goals.
Our post also participates in an annual SWAT competition in Chandler, Ariz. The event consists of many tactical scenarios, such as vehicle assault, undercover operations and crisis negotiations. On the last night, we hold an award ceremony in which trophies are handed out. My first visit to Chandler in January was a huge success; we brought home five trophies.
During my time with the organization, I've received two promotions, the first coming in June 2011, when I went from explorer to corporal. I became a sergeant in February. In addition, I am part of the five-member honor guard.
I don't know exactly what drove me toward pursuing a law enforcement career. I do know, though, that I never want to be tied to a desk job.
I want to be able to serve either my community or country while experiencing some action. I'm an adrenaline junkie who loves to take risks.
Police Explorers has greatly influenced my views on police officers. Before joining, I had a neutral, indifferent attitude toward law enforcement. Since then, I've gained a better understanding of why officers do the things they do. Now, whenever I hear about an arrest or police brutality case, I try to find out as much information as possible before judging the involved parties.
My Explorers adviser also encourages us to discuss anything we hear in the news. What a lot of my peers and adult acquaintances fail to realize is that there is one main thing on the minds of officers: being able to make it home to their families at the end of the day while serving the people. Most of their actions are carried out in order to protect themselves and their fellow residents.
Another thing I've acquired since joining the Explorers is an addiction to law enforcement-related shows. Among the ones I watch are "Cops," "Police Women of Broward County/Cincinnati," "Dallas SWAT" and "World's Wildest Police Videos."
I also sporadically watch "Southland" and "Hawaii Five-0," but I find the non-cop aspects, such as romances and past personal problems, tedious to follow.
My time with the Police Explorers has made me realize that I want to be a part of more than a city police department. After a lot of research, I found that the FBI offers what I am looking for: large-scale law enforcement mixed with national security. The FBI also offers opportunities to travel and work with other agencies, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the CIA. I hope to join after a stint in the Air Force.
The past two and a half years as a Hercules Police Explorer have really changed my life for the better. The group has given me an outlet to learn and express many valuable qualities, such as determination, motivation and leadership. I know these skills will help me while I pursue my dream of being in the FBI.

February 20, President Carter
announced the U.S. boycott of
the 1980 Summer Olympics in
Moscow. Eugene Glader, chair-man
of the physical education
Gene Glader
department, supports Carter's
Glader studied at the Olympic
Academy in Greece during the
summer of '71, spoke at an Olym-pic
symposium at Skidmore Col-lege
during February and has led
UMAIE tours on the "History of
the Olympics," to Europe for
three years.
Glader expressed sympathy for
the athletes, but added that there
comes a point when national and
international interests must come
before others. Afghanistan is that
point. "I'm no longer as naive as I
used to be in terms of how people
and nations use sports...every
country uses the games for their
own politics."
The American Olympic Com-mittee
has not yet announced a
decision on the boycott. They are
not responsible to the govern-ment.
Glader said that the people
on the committee are in a bind;
when they work with the Olym-pics,
they agree to function in a
non-political realm.
Because of America's leader-ship
in the Western world and its
long record of Olympic support,
Glader said our boycott would be
very visible. "The Olympics
without the United States—that's
never happened.
"I think it's difficult to say we
don't like what you're doing in
Afghanistan and then say we'll
help you put on the Olympics.
We're sending two separate sig-nals."
He added that even the
process of trying to become non-political
becomes political,
because it forces people to take
Glader said the ideals of sports
are high ideals; the ideal of trying
to be non-political. "Whatever
the Olympic committee does, I
basically have high regard for
them." The committee will make
its decision when they meet later
this spring.

US boycott makes impact
by Jay Stuart Russell
Bethel's Art Department has
been involved in a number of con-troversial
art pieces in the past few
years, and this year's Raspberry
Monday exhibition was no excep-tion.
We asked some of Bethel's
artists their opinion about the role
of art at Bethel.
The artists answered the ques-tion:
What responsibility do ar-tists
in the art department have to
the rest of the Bethel community?
Diana Cooper
One of the responsibilities of
the department • is to give an
overall view of the students' art
work. Everyone has different
views and opinions of art. If
someone is disturbed by a certain
piece, he or she should confront
the artist and find out what the ar-tist
had in mind before
Last week some person(s) broke
into the Bethel post office, accor-ding
to Bruce Kunkel, director of
administrative services.
Nothing was stolen, as far as
Kunkel knows, but drawers were
opened, storage shelves were
rummaged through, and a
calculator was knocked over and

student is being a terrible Chris-tian
or is being disrespectful in
some way. I'm sure any student
would be pleased to answer any
Diana Cooper
Dan Dye
The artist should be truthful,
Kunkel stressed the seriousness
of this offense. "Anytime anyone
breaks into the post office or
merely takes a letter from a box it
is a felony," he said. The max-imum
sentence for such a felony is
five years in prison.
"The federal government con-siders
this a federal post office,"
said Kunkel of the Bethel post of-fice.
Any "playing around" in the
post office could involve the
federal government.
and he should explore learning
through guidance from faculty,
peers, and most of all, the Holy
Spirit. His responsibility to the
community is the same as any
other student's responsibility. He
should trust in the Lord and in his
daily growth. It's a daily struggle.
If you're going in a certain direc-tion
and you're not sure of it, you
should trust in the Lord's
guidance. Artists deal with visual
sensitivity, and therefore artists
should try more than anyone to be
sensitive to the visual elements.
We must look at other aspects
of the liberal arts with an open
mind and with an attitude of giv-ing
the other person credit for
what he's studying, and trust his
integrity of the field hers studying.
This applies to other areas besides
Kurt Mueller
The sole responsibility of any
artist to anyone, including him-self:
Integrity (Mueller).
The very forces that first in-spired
man to fulfill his needs and
express his ideas through visual
means are no longer just in the
province of the artist (Dondis).
He has showed you, 0 man,
what is good. And what does the
Lord require of you? To act justly
and to love mercy and to walk
humbly with your God (Micah).
I will not serve that in which I
no longer believe, whether it call
itself my home, my fatherland or
my church: and I will try to ex-press
myself in some mode of life
or art as freely as I can and as
wholly as can (Dedalus/Joyce).
Art almost has its ingredient of
impudence, its flouting of
established authority, so that it
may substitute its own authority,
and its own enlightenment
Let us affront and reprimand
the smooth mediocrity and
squalid contentment of the times,
and hurl in the face of custom,
and trade, and office, the fact
which is the upshot of all history,
that there is a great and responsi-ble
Thinker and Actor working
where every a man works (Emer-son).
Hatred of mind, of pride,
courage, freedom, libertinage of
mind is Christian: hatred of the
senses, of the joy of the senses, of
joy in general is Christian (Nietz-sche).
In the modern world, it may
turn out that the most intolerable
thing for Christians is to be
tolerated (Eliot). A(foreveretcet-era)
Judy Carlsen
I think an artist as a Christian
does have responsibilities, but I'm
not sure it is to the Bethel com-munity.
I think it is to God, the
final authority. Being a Christian,
the artist's life will hopefully
reflect the Holy Spirit, so his art
should reflect that in his life. It
should be a witness: The artist, be-ing
a Christian, should reflect the
Holy Spirit in his work. It's not up
to the Bethel community to judge,
because we have to be careful to
judge, lest we be judged ourselves.
So the artist has to feel right about
his work, considering his Chris-tian

Dear Editor:
It has been the pleasure of my
wife and I to be great fans of your
basketball team. They had a great
season and provided some
wonderful entertainment which I
dearly loved.
I was not as proud of the "fans
in the stands" last Wednesday
night. When we played Macalester
at Mac, and witnessed their
display of poor sportsmanship, I
could only say "thank God we
don't do things like that!" But we
did—and for me, I was saddened
to see Bethel fall into the same
The newspaper act (to say
nothing of the mess left for the
campus. The Reader has been a
point of contention that potential-ly
could lead to deeper issues. I
have really enjoyed this interac-tion
with the students and ap-preciate
their willingness to spend
their time in this type of dialogue.
The disappointing element to
me is that this positive interaction
and honest grappling with issues is
taken by two students not involv-ed
with this discussion, and
distorted in an open article in the
Clarion. To this date I have never
met or talked with Jonathan R.
Nelson or Timothy J. Nelson.
My plea is very simple and
maybe a little presumptuous since
I have only been a member of the
Bethel community for six months.
I would expect that since I was
directly involved that I would
have at least been asked a question
or two concerning the rumor. It's
tough to do an adequate job as
dean of men as it is, without hav-ing
to contend with false accusa-tions.
So, I would like to take this op-portunity
to invite anyone con-cerned
about campus problems
that fall into my area to feel free
to come in and talk to me. I would
appreciate it more than you know.

exhibitions of poor sportsman-ship.
Did we forget that the
Gusties were our guests?
The team played like true good
sportsmen and although they
didn't win, that character was not
lost. Too bad the fans could not
display the same.
I pray that next year we will not
forget our Christian commitment
and display the fruits of His Spirit
in true Royal style.

`Policing' needed as
violence deterrent
Last week's Clarion reported an incident with the hockey team that
was termed a "brawl." A fight that erupted between Bethel and players
from the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle, caused the cancellation
of two games between the teams.
Most reports indicate that Bethel was the victim of an overly ag-gressive
opponent, and their involvement in the fight was in self-defense.
Some reports, though, leave doubt as to whether some Bethel
involvement was "beyond the call of duty." But regardless of the actual
details of the fight, violence in sports is a potential problem that the
athletic department should deal with more seriously.
Currently there are no in-house rules to deal with those athletes guilty
of unsportsmanlike conduct in an athletic contest. The athletic depart-ment's
position is that this type of conduct is "frowned upon," and
each case must be dealt with individually, therefore "policing" is not
necessary. This attitude certainly does not act as a deterrent to the
athlete in a-potentially explosive situation.
Professional teams have recently begun taking stands on the issue of
violence in sports. Professional sports has been an arena of violence that
has ended several player's careers. The head coach of the NBA Houston
Rockets was quoted as saying that he would fine any of his team
members who so much as "raises a fist," regardless of the cir-cumstances.
In Bethel's case the issue is not only protection of players, but also
preservation of attitudes and actions that glorify God. The athletic
department needs to take a stand that would govern all athletic teams,
including those participating in intramural programs, where unsport-smanlike
conduct has been known to frequently emerge.
Rather than hide behind the assumption that the Christian athlete
would not allow himself to become involved in violence, the department
should adopt a rule that would include automatic suspension for a set
number of games. This may not only serve as a deterrent to future in-cidents,
but also would show a realistic concern on the part of the
athletic department.
To the editor:
I believe in artistic freedom. I
think everyone really does. Art is
a very public medium of expres-sion
and because of its possible
ambiguity it can address many
people and many situations all at
once. I would now like to draw
our attention to the swastica flag
in the art gallery.
In one of my classes it was
brought up with the inference that
it was too ambiguous and possibly
anti-American, and thus didn't
have a right to be in an American
gallery. That's not at all what I
got out of it.
What I saw in the fusion of the
American stripes and the swastica
was the mounting threat of hate of
any sort, and especially of anti-
Semitism in America today.
Now this isn't at all what it may
have meant since it's a prehistoric
symbol. None the less, it was the
official emblem of the Nazi party
and the Third Reich, so this
naturally suggests to me an indica-tion
toward the Nazi party.
What this means to me is very
threatening as a Christian who
tries to practice humanity.
Anyone who knows what's go-ing
on knows there is a lot of ac-tivity
today in the Nazi Party, not
only here in America, but there is
also a resurgence of it in Ger-many.
This along with the surfac-ing
anti-Semitism I see in the news
brings me to tears and prayer.

Student recruitment
expands with BASE
method works
by Suzi Wells
Curt Fauth, director of alumni, coordinates the establishment of
volunteer alumni centers across the U.S.
by Joy Nannette Banta
. Student recruitment is taking on
a new look as the Bethel BASE
program spreads out over the
country. BASE (a Bridge for Ad-vancement
and Support of Educa-tion)
is setting up volunteer alum-ni
centers across the United States
in an effort to more effectively
reach the over 7000 prospects who
are interested in Bethel each year.
BASE has already established
13 alumni centers since its incep-tion
in 1979 and hopes to have 12
more by the fall . of 1981. Last
month a five-member team travel-ed
to the west coast to visit six of
the already existing centers, con-tacting
well over 400 young people
and talking one-to-one to about
100 students, according to Curt
Fauth, director of alumni, also in
charge of BASE.
The new program has four main
objectives: 1) to cultivate a
postitive attitude about Bethel
among alumni, pastors, parents,
faculty, students and friends, 2) to
assist in student enlistment, 3) to
aid development appeal — fund
raising, and 4) to launch a
volunteer program.
The fourth objective, launching
a volunteer program, involves en-couraging
alumni, parents, pas-tors
and other friends to help
spread the word about Bethel.
That would mean talking to pro-spective
students, bringing pro-spective
students to Bethel for a
visit, keeping current Bethel
materials in churches, showing
Bethel multi-media programs,
helping with Bethel's traveling
groups (music and theatre).
"Alumni are the key volunteer
leaders," said Fauth.
These volunteers can also iden-tify
key persons who can be con-tacted
for development purposes,
identify Christian teachers, coun-selors,
coaches, Campus Crusade
and Young Life leaders, and dis-tribute
Bethel materials to profes-sional
offices (i.e. doctors, at-torneys,
insurance agents).
Terri Sue Hanson and Cory
Dahl, student representatives for
the program this year, will visit
centers on the east coast and in the
Associate Professor Dale
Chicago and Sioux Falls areas yet
this year. They will take three two-day
trips to visit six centers in
Boston, Youngstown, Ohio,
Chicago and Rockford, Ill., and
Omaha and Sioux Falls.
The first trip—to California—
was very successful, said Fauth.
Hanson and Dahl will be used for
all of the remaining trips because,
since it has been such a success,
"why change it at this time," said
Next year the program will be in
need of more volunteer student
representatives because they in-tend
to visit all twenty-five of the
center locations.
Students interested in working
with the program next year should
contact Curt Fauth.

"My vote won't count." In a
country of over 200 million people
that seems like a very legitimate
statement. However, in Min-nesota,
the caucus system is used
to select presidential delegates and
zero in on the issues. The precinct
caucus gives anyone the oppor-tunity
to make his or her wishes
known on the grass roots level.
To Bethel's credit, approx-imately
70 students turned out at
the Arden Hills precinct caucus
last Tuesday night.
Sophomore Cheryl Thomas was
one of many students elected to
positions of leadership. Ira King,
Bobbie Dischinger, Becky Dye,
Julie Redenbaugh, Dan Roach,
Chris Green, Steve Fischer, Dave
Thiessen, George Beyer and Steve
Hoswell were among the others
selected to be delegates for their
respective parties at the District
Convention. Thomas pointed out
that most of those students chosen
were first time caucus-goers.
Dale Johnson
There are two prominent goals
of the Fine Arts Gallery, as I see
it. The first is the educational goal
of presenting exhibitions that en-courage
aesthetic growth and art
awareness within the college com-munity.
The art faculty is re-sponsible
to creatively select a
variety of exhibitions from
regional art resources.
The art faculty as working,
producing artists exhibit their own
work, providing valuable oppor-tunities
for students to be ac-quainted
with their professor's
work. Students have an annual ex-hibit
of their work; this exhibit
plays an essential role in the art
department because it allows
students a chance to experience
their own work in a formal exhibi-tion
Another goal is to select a varie-ty
of styles and artistic perspec-tives,
providing a rich cultural ex-
Several Bethel students also
worked on a "Bread for the
World" resolution which ad-dresses
the problem of world
hunger. The resolution received
unanimous approval.
Carter and Reagan are the
front-runners in the state,
however, Bethel students seem to
favor Carter or Bush: ThOmas, an
perience for those who choose to
see the monthly exhibitions.
The art faculty has the respon-sibility
to use discretion in its
selections and the freedom to seek
to find original, imaginative and
expressive work for our exhibi-tions.
Don Nelson
Responsibility is a broad sub-ject
that entails the obligation that
one person has toward another
person or group of persons.
Precisely what is required in that
responsibility is determined by a
sense of moral obligation. In turn
this moral obligation promotes a
dialogue of differing opinions,
resulting in an on-going process of
discovering truth for those per-sons
involved. Each person has an
equally shared responsibility to
continue this dialogue, therefore
the artist's responsibility to the
international relations major, sees
a growing political interest among
Bethel students. She believes
Carter, as an avowed evangelical
Christian, has drawn many Amer-icans
out of their apathy. People
are either eager to promote
Carter's re-election or bring about
his defeat.
"We can't separate our Chris-tianity
from being political. Chris-tians
today seem to take a back
seat on major issues," said
Thomas. "We talk about Chris-tian
responsibility, but it's so
much more important to be in-volved...
to become part of the
structure and work within that
Students who missed the oppor-tunity
to become involved at the
caucuses can still make an impact
through their efforts as volunteers
in the respective campaigns, by
becoming knowledgeable on the
issues and, of course, by exercis-ing
their rights at the polls in
Bethel community is no different
than any other person.
Art is a language that can be us-ed
to make social comments and
critiques, but it is not usually
found doing such in an overt man-ner.
This is a case in which silence
accents the occassional statement
so much so that when one is made,
it tends to be harder to contend
with than a literary statement.
Due to the iconographic
characteristics of art it tends to
have a permanence which is more
intimidating than other forms of
communication. The offense of
the permanence makes it difficult
to accept the art for what it really
is, an opinion. When viewing it as
an opinion, the message of the
piece is then kept in its proper
perspective. Once we have this
perspective we can then discuss
the topic that the art addresses,
rather than discussing the
legitimacy of the artwork.
In spite of the decline in college
enrollment nationwide, ad-ministrators
Jim Bragg, vice presi-dent
for public affairs and Phil
Kimball, director of admissions,
feel "we will survive," and Bethel
will continue to grow.
Recently, two Bethel students,
Terri Sue Hanson and Cory Dahl,
joined a team on a banquet circuit
that toured the West Coast. Sen-ding
students like Hanson and
Dahl is not new policy, Bragg
said. In the past, music and
theatre groups have travelled
representing Bethel. This summer
Bereshith, a Bethel drama group,
will be touring in the western
United States.
The current method of second-person
recruitment is still the most
effective in the admissions office,
according to Kimball, so no plans
to change methods or policy are
being made. "Ten years of history
says this method is working,"
Kimball said.
The second-person recruitment
saves Bethel the expense of sen-ding
a large admissions staff
throughout the country. Instead,
Bethel depends on friends,
pastors, faculty, former and cur-rent
students to spread the word
about Bethel.
Whenever anyone from the col-lege
leaves the campus and comes
in contact with prospective
students, he is in a sense recruiting
for Bethel.
Bragg said that Bethel's strong
constituent support will help it
continue to grow. "We're plan-ning
for enrollment growth," he
said. In spite of the decline else-where,
he said, "I think we may
continue to bend the trend in the
next few years and then level off."
Carolyn Olson
They have the responsibility to
be honest in expressing what they
see, and for the artist that means
visually. Some statements may
seem rather bold, but then com-pared
to life, they may not seem
out of place. I think honesty also
demands sincere love.

Coordinators: big-name concerts too costly
by Peter Nelson
"As Campus Coordinators,
have you accomplished what you
set out to do?"
Mary Beth: "Yes, I think we
have. Most of the activities we
have planned we have put into
practice. There are very few that
we've canceled, and those were
canceled to avoid conflicts with
the music department or theater
department, etc., and then we've
tried to stick them in the schedule
later on."
Mary Beth Larson
Bob: "Yes, we have. Besides
setting up activities and forming a
program, we've learned a lot and I
wouldn't trade that learning for
"Do you think the Campus
Coordinators are responsible to
bring in more top quality Chris-tian
concert artists to our campus
and our community?"
Mary Beth: "Mack Nettleton,
our boss, has said over and over
that we are here to serve the Bethel
students, not the surrounding
community. Sometimes we'd like
to bring the whole Community in,
but Mack says, `No, this is for the
Bethel students.' "
"Also, it seems that Bethel
students don't want to pay more
than $4 for a concert, so if our
gym was filled to its capacity of
1,950 people at $4 a head, you
couldn't even book B.J. Thomas
or Andrae Crouch, or some of the
other top Christian performers."
Bob: "Besides the stage price,
there is the sound and lights, air-fare,
printing and publicity, main-tenance,
and it all adds up.
Basically, because of the size of
our gym and the cost of booking
the top Christian artists, we just
cannot have them come here."
Mary Beth: - "Keith Green
would have been in our gym for
homecoming except he wanted
seating for 3,000. What I really
wish is that the students would
trust the Campus Coordinators'
judgment on choosing a concert
artist. If the Campus Coordina-tors
have a concert they should
just assume it's going to be a de-cent
concert. When we pick so-meone
to put on a concert, it
doesn't happen overnight. It takes
three months of listening to
records and tons of prayer to
decide someone is • right for
Bob: "We disagree with the
philosophy that just because
you've never heard of the group
they must not be any good."
"How do you think your job
has gone over with the Bethel
Mary Beth: "Charlie Retts ask-ed
me how we thought the
students feel about us, and I really
wish we knew. But we don't hear
—anything, except from our
closest friends. I really wish we
could take a poll or something. I'd
really like to know what people
are thinking."
"Do you think rollerskating
gets too much attention as a C.C.
Mary Beth: "We've had roller-skating
about every two weeks,
and judging by the attendance it
has picked up momentum this
year. I don't know how long it will
stay popular. That's something
the Campus Coordinators will
have to play by ear. As for next
year, I hope they have a lot of it."
"Were there any difficulties in
doing your job that you hadn't
counted on?"
Bob: "We're students and we
can make mistakes, and we have.
We've made mistakes in our plan-ning
where we haven't worked
with other departments as well as
we'd like to."
"Does the C.C. position need
to be altered in any way?"
Mary Beth: "The way it is run
now is the best. You need both the
male and female input, and you
need more than one Campus
Coordinator so that decisions can
be shared. The burden would be
too heavy for one person, and I
also think one Campus Coor-dinator
would have trouble taking
advice. We've learned to listen to
each other's ideas and opinions."
Bob: "I've learned to listen
more than talk."
Mary Beth: "One adjustment in
the program might be leaving one
weekend each month open for
RA's to plan activities. This
would ease the burden on the
Campus Coordinators so they
could spend more time with their
Bob: "I think that would be
good too. If you had each dorm
having their own activities, they
could get to know the people they
live with better."
Mary Beth: "The expectations
on the Campus Coordinators are
great, but the budget hardly
allows for any more activities.
We'd like to see the overall
amount of C.C. activities for next
year cut back just a little. Bethel is
known for having activities and I
think that's really neat. It keeps
the students here on weekends and
help unify Bethel as a whole. Still,
I say there were a few things we
could have left out."
Bob: "Other schools look up to
us activity-wise. Take Nor-thwestern—
they can't believe
what we have."
"What basically are the Cam-pus
Coordinators responsible to
Mary Beth: "Coordinate ac-tivities
like social events, but also
work with other departments—
music, theater, sports. We try to
coordinate our activities around
theirs so things don't happen on
the same night. Consequently, our
social activities get the open spots
after everybody else schedules
their events. Students tend to
think we should have social ac-tivities
all the time, but up in stu-dent
affairs they tell us just the
opposite. We're supposed to fit
into the nooks and crannies bet-ween
sporting events, theater per-formances,
and so on."
Bob: "You don't realize how
much there is going on here until
you get into a position like this.
When you have to fit your stuff
around everyone else's, then you
realize how much there is to work
around. During interim we had
our concert and there was a wrest-ling
meet going on all day long.
We needed the gym way ahead of
time, and I don't know how we
did it, but we squeezed six hours
of work into about two hours."
Mary Beth: "It's difficult
because we feel pressure from the
students to have activities every
weekend, but when there is a
theater production on the
weekend, they want at least one
night free of C.C. activities.
Sometimes we don't have much
choice but to overlap other
departments' events."
"What are the high points of
being Campus Coordinators?"
Bob: "'Almost Anything Goes'
was my favorite activity. Running
that was a blast!"
Mary Beth: "A highlight for me
is when we have a good turnout
and we know that the kids are
pleased. Even though a lot of kids
didn't come out for Kathie Lee
Johnson, some said that was the
best concert they'd ever been to.
We lost money on that one, and
yet, to me, it was a total success
because we pleased the students."
"How big a budget do you have
to work with?"
Mary Beth: "$17,900.00 for the
year. It's an okay amount, but
we'll have to be careful the rest of
the year."
Bob: "Whether students know
it or not, our budget subsidizes
every C.C. event, so they are get-ting
a deal on whatever we plan.
When the price for a movie is
$1.50, we could charge $2.00 if we
wanted to break even every time.
We are always losing money from
our budget in this way."
"How much do you receive for
being Campus Coordinators?"
Mary Beth: "$1,250 each. It
comes out to about 10 cents an
hour, but that's okay. The ex-perience
is worth it. We're not do-ing
it for the money."
Bob: "They are planning to add
to the C.C. budget for next year,
but I think inflation will take care
of that."
Mary Beth: "We've also learn-ed
to be thrifty with our budget,
and to be careful dealing with out-side
"How much work does the
C.C. job demand?"
Mary Beth: "Each week varies.
Prior to the Dan Peek concert, we
were in the office from four to six
hours a day, but in an easier week
it's more like two hours a day."
"Are you glad you applied to be
Campus Coordinators?"
Bob: "This is the best learning
and growing experience I think I
could have ever had in four years
of college. The work is hard, but
the experience is definitely worth

Chapel committee
surveys to obtain
student evaluation
At the beginning of the year the
Chapel & Spiritual Life Commit-tee,
a student faculty committee,
decided to focus its work on
evaluating the role of the campus
pastor and campus ministries of-fice.
Until now the committee has
been gathering information con-cerning
the philosophy, history,
and organization of the pastor
and campus ministries office.
The committee has decided it
would be beneficial to run a
survey of students, faculty, and
administration to gain input from
the Bethel community.
The survey will be asking ques-tions
concerning chapel, spiritual
life, the campus pastor, and the
campus ministries office. It is
hoped the responses will enable
the committee to be even more in-clusive
and practical in their

With a semester still between
him and graduation, Scott Bar-suhn
can already call himself a
professional graphic designer.
"I'm in the process of becom-ing
a designer," he says. "I don't
feel like I'm totally there yet."
Fact is, he has been recruited
for freelance design jobs with in-creasing
frequency during the past
four years.
His conception of "process,"
of always working toward goals, is
a mindset, coloring all his ac-tivities.
He hit Bethel campus in
'76, ready to try everything.
Result: one overworked, happy
enthusiast whose yearbook ac-complishments
would read like an
information sheet of Bethel extra-curriculars—

and also these cir-cumstances.
They don't just hap-pen
along. I have to use learning
So he throws himself
energetically into every available
project. His latest was a 30 second
commercial. Every day he's ac-costed
by five or six Bethel fans
and souvenir-seekers who scream,
"I saw you on TV last night!"
Scott's tendency toward total
involvement is noted by Jeffrey
Miller, associate professor in
theatre arts. After directing him in
"The Fantasticks," and supervis-ing
the design of many depart-mental
posters and programs, his
observation is that Scott is "100
per cent committed."
"I never have to motivate him.
It's refreshing to work with some-one
who has a desire for ex-cellence
and a professional at-titude,"
said Miller.
Both traits, apparently, are in
demand. Scott has been commis-sioned
for jobs by numerous
Bethel clients. He has constructed
recital, concert, and drama
posters. He has designed banners,
backdrops, fliers, and programs.
His series of plexiglass-cloth
sculpture signs featuring "won-derful
waffles" and a "super
salad bar" adorn the coffee shop.
But having conquered home
territory, he now expands confi-dently
into "outside" markets.
His skills are recognized and soli-cited
by local advertising agencies
and printers.
Associate Professor of Art Dale
Johnson feels that Scott is "profi-cient
at understanding what
clients need and at being able to
translate works into visual
thought. Because of this, his work
has a 'goodness' or 'rightness' to
Thus, Scott is busy, having
gone "national." Current pro-jects
include the design of sta-tionery,
logo, and business cards
for a Minneapolis-based firm, the
creation of a children's growth
chart; and designs for a corpora-tion's
promotional materials—all
intended for national distribution.

demands, he's fabricating other
freelance artistic schemes. The im-mediate
future, he predicts, will
see the completion of his own
house plans, the publication of a
children's book, and the sale of a
car design.
In spite of the chasmic range of
his occupational interests—in-terior
design, furniture design,
packaging design, architectural
design, set design—there is still,
Scott insists, "some consistency
through the madness."
"My goal is to make a wide
variety of things better visually. I
don't want to be limited."
His goals are always sureties.
Soon—today, if someone makes
an offer—he'll tackle them all.

said. "We concentrated on

Dull plot kills Twin Cities film

If, however, one is interested in
a well-made comedy with credible
performances by big-name actors,
"Foolin' Around" fails at almost
every turn of the reel.
The plot concerns a hayseed

script came just a few minutes into
the film when a Mercedes driven
by O'Toole's fiance sinks and
burbles deep into fresh concrete as
if it were quicksand.
There are, to be honest, a few
bright spots in the film, including
a tennis-playing "Rocky" se-quence
in which Busey gags on
raw eggs, runs through Minneapo-lis

the stained-glass window at St.

eagerly anticipated this bit of

Bumpkin bolsters Bethel B-ball
by Brice S. Russell
Bethel tracksters headed south
on Saturday for the Southern
Minnesota Relays in Mankato.
Fourteen schools attended the
meet but no score was kept. The
competition included large and
small schools, but according to
Coach Leighton Betz, "Bethel
proved to be competitive."
Many records were broken at
this meet but this was a result t) f
the switch to metric measurement.
This is the second year in the
switch to metric, which meant the
records that were broken were the
ones set last year.
Phil Asay was involved in
breaking three records. He placed
first in the triple jump, fourth in
the 55-meter low hurdles, and
third in the 4 X 160-meter relay.

When Gary Edlund was looking
for a place fo finish his basketball
career, he was not sure who would
want him.
"What are you going to do with
a senior in his last year of eligi-bility?"
said Edlund. "Most
coaches like to develop their own
players. I was fortunate to get in
on Bethel's program."
But after seeing him help Bethel
to its best record ever and a third-place
finish in the MIAC, most
any coach would welcome Edlund
with open arms.
The transformation of last
year's 5-21 team into a contender
with a 18-9 record cannot be
credited to Edlund alone. Corn-bining
seniors Scott Wilson, Dave
Blanchard, Rey Miller, and Tom
Weko with newcomers Jason
Velgersdyk, Greg Edlund, and

Crew's Gaven out with ACL tear
Columbus, OH – Columbus Crew midfielder Eddie Gaven will miss the remainder of the 2013 season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Gaven suffered the injury in the second half of Columbus' victory over the Dayton Dutch Lions on Wednesday in the third round of the U.S. Open Cup.
"Eddie's MRI showed that his ACL was completely torn and that he had bruised his bone in a pattern that was consistent with tearing his ACL," team physician Dr. Pete Edwards explained. "He didn't have any other obvious meniscal or cartilage injuries, which is good.
"It's much better that this appears to be an isolated ACL injury. He needs to get his knee moving and we need to calm down the inflammation over the next week or two," Dr. Edwards continued. "As soon as his knee is ready for surgery, we'll do that in the next one to two weeks. At this stage of the season, this is a season-ending injury."
Gaven played in all 34 matches last season for the Crew to share the team's scoring lead with forward Jairo Arrieta with nine goals. After starting the 2013 season opener against Chivas USA, he became the fourth player in club history to play 200 matches and he currently leads the team with four assists this season.
Gaven began his professional career at 16 years old and became the youngest player in MLS to appear in 250 matches (25 years, 257 days) in 2012.

Weighing Career Risks
Self Assessment Results vs. Requirements | Weighing Risks | Feelings about Decisions | Impact
Every career decision involves some measure of risk taking. For some, the safest alternative is a career or job directly relating to your current skills and environments, doing things you are used to. You must carefully consider whether or not this is the best method of decision making. It could be that you can handle a lot more than you think.
Change can bring about not only a lot of challenges, but the potential for an exciting future! You could say that every one has a certain amount of "risk space" they are willing to endure for any given decision or situation. Consider how large your personal "risk space" is in this particular career decision.
To reduce risk, first try to determine how real the job choice is. For example, are you likely to accomplish the goal of becoming a physician right now? Is it possible that becoming a nurse or surgical assistant could be a good start in the right direction, at this point in your life? You also might not be concerned about a career choice right now, until you acquire the fundamental skill base required in computers, math, science and reading or writing? You are not alone if you need to brush up on some initial skills before you start on your goal.
Whatever risk you are weighing, decide what you really want to do and not what you think is expected, or required of you. Remember that your potential is possible with hard work and determination. You also have to decide what will bring you happiness and success.
If you are having trouble deciding on a career, job or major you are not alone, there are many reasons why you might be having trouble deciding:
Are you questioning whether or not you should change careers?
Are you are in a personal or employment crisis?
Do you feel you have insolvable career barriers?
Are you questioning your self-confidence?
Maybe you just want someone to talk to. Career counselors are available in our office and academic advisors are also helpful. We recommend that you seek out any information you need to help you make a decision. Some people opt to involve themselves in community volunteer work, job shadow or speak to professional people in the type of positions they are considering. Use whatever type of information is most helpful to your style of learning, thinking, communicating and decision making.

5 hardest-to-read debate quotes
In a presidential debate relatively devoid of "zingers," President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney at times took uber-wonky approaches to tackling tough issues like health care, Medicare and financial regulatory reform Wednesday night. But sometimes, the back and forth got a bit, well, "boring," according to some members of the Twitterverse. Here's a look at moments that induced some eye-glazing, according to a transcript of the debate:
( PHOTOS: Scenes from Denver debate)
Story Continued Below
On tax rates and the deficits:
1.ROMNEY: "Mr. President, you're absolutely right, which is that, with regards to 97 percent of the businesses are not — not taxed at the 35 percent tax rate, they're taxed at a lower rate. But those businesses that are in the last 3 percent of businesses happen to employ half — half of all the people who work in small business. Those are the businesses that employ one-quarter of all the workers in America. And your plan is to take their tax rate from 35 percent to 40 percent."
2.OBAMA: "If you believe that we can cut taxes by $5 trillion and add $2 trillion in additional spending that the military is not asking for, $7 trillion — just to give you a sense, over 10 years, that's more than our entire defense budget — and you think that by closing loopholes and deductions for the well-to-do, somehow you will not end up picking up the tab, then Governor Romney's plan may work for you."

On energy:
3.ROMNEY: "And in one year, you provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world. Now, I like green energy as well, but that's about 50 years' worth of what oil and gas receives. And you say Exxon and Mobil. Actually, this $2.8 billion goes largely to small companies, to drilling operators and so forth.
"But, you know, if we get that tax rate from 35 percent down to 25 percent, why, that $2.8 billion is on the table. Of course it's on the table. That's probably not going to survive [if] you get that rate down to 25 percent.
"But don't forget, you put $90 billion, like 50 years' worth of breaks, into — into solar and wind, to Solyndra and Fisker and Tester and Ener1."

On health care premiums:
4.OBAMA: "And the fact of the matter is that, when 'Obamacare' is fully implemented, we're going to be in a position to show that costs are going down. And over the last two years, health care premiums have gone up — it's true — but they've gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years. So we're already beginning to see progress. In the meantime, folks out there with insurance, you're already getting a rebate."
On Medicare:
5.OBAMA: "So my approach is to say, how do we strengthen the system over the long term? And in Medicare, what we did was we said, we are going to have to bring down the costs if we're going to deal with our long-term deficits, but to do that, let's look where some of the money's going. [The] $716 billion we were able to save from the Medicare program by no longer overpaying insurance companies by making sure that we weren't overpaying providers. And using that money, we were actually able to lower prescription drug costs for seniors by an average of $600, and we were also able to make a — make a significant dent in providing them the kind of preventive care that will ultimately save money through the — throughout the system."
