The annual communal pig-out known as the Minnesota State Fair is back in business. Along with crowning a new Princess Kay of the Milky Way and pinning a ribbon on the fattest pig in the barn, adding new foods to the mix of 450-plus offerings is a grand tradition of the Great Minnesota Get-Together. The 2013 fair takes that custom to Skyride-level heights, with the addition of more than 40 cholesterol-clogged, stuck-on-a-stick options that weren't around last year.
A croissant, slumming as a doughnut (and loving every minute of it)? Of course. A restaurant family name that is practically synonymous with St. Paul? They're here. A deep-fried tribute to the craft beer sensation that's sweeping the state? Brilliant.
Those are some of the highs. There are lows — oh boy, there are lows — and plenty of in-betweens, too. Here's a rundown of what not to miss — and what to definitely avoid — among the freshman class fare at the fair.
French Meadow Bakery & Cafe has flawless timing. The first-rate operation has cleverly tapped into the nation's craziest, most excessive food darling of the moment, the croissant doughnut. Their version is called the Dough-Sant ($4, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆), and it's buttery layer over buttery layer of laminated dough (one of the few products not made on the premises) that's cut into the familiar round shape, carefully fried and dusted with powdered sugar. It's not too sweet, and each bite collapses in your mouth like the world's most sophisticated raised doughnut. Naturally, it's selling like deep-fried hot cakes. "Oh, we will run out," said co-owner Chris Gleize. "There is no question."
At Ball Park Cafe, owners and brothers Dan and David Theisen have taken their passion for local craft beers one delicious step further. They start by soaking thick-cut onions in Indeed Brewery Company's pale ale before dipping them in a batter that uses the same brew. A toss in the deep fryer and, voilà, step right up to a gigantic basket of onion ring perfection ($8, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆). They're light, crispy, teasingly sweet and mildly spicy (thanks to lots of black pepper and Tabasco) and piping hot. They're even better, if that's possible, with a dunk in a whole-grain mustard blended with Excelsior Brewing Company's brown ale.
Two newcomers at Minnesota Farmers Union demonstrate simplicity's enduring appeal. A slab of rich, creamy mango ice cream, popping with the fruit's tangy essence ($5.75, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆), is a premium on-a-stick idea. It hails from St. Paul's Grand Ole Creamery, as does the vanilla that's the centerpiece to a fine affogato ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆), which only improves as the ice cream lazily melts — and totally mellows — the bitter espresso.
Speaking of simple pleasures, there's not a more refreshing palate cleanser — particularly after a go-round in Deep-Friedville — than the gloriously refreshing sliced watermelon, so ripe and juicy — at the Produce Exchange ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆). It's the equivalent of having your fair food-addled taste buds sigh and say "ahhhhh."
Saintly City additions
St. Paul's iconic Mancini's has a handsome new fair outpost, with a half-dozen entries on its menu. The one to order is what they've dubbed Porketta Pork Wings ($8, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ½), lovingly seasoned pork shanks that are slow-roasted until the outside of the meat is nicely caramelized and the meat practically falls off the bone.
Another enduring Capital City name, O'Gara's, has the fair's No. 1 slider: Slabs of crispy-chewy pork belly brushed with a robust, slightly sweet barbecue sauce and topped with a crunchy cabbage-carrot slaw, served two to an order ($8, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ½). Oh, and the kitchen's deep-fried bread pudding ($6, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆) is a total guilty pleasure; it's sweet (hello, caramel sauce), it's fried, it melts in your mouth. What else does a carb-seeker need?
Those with a sweet tooth — and an affection for treats on a stick — should also consider the warm, tender waffles baked with toffee, dipped in chocolate and, in a moment of delirious toffee overload, rolled in toffee bits at Granny's Kitchen ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆). Oh, and be sure to ask the staff to perform one of their amusing cheers.
The friendly folks at Fried Fruit are connecting the words "deep fried" with "green olives." While the combination ($6.50, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆) doesn't sound particularly promising, it works, with a crunchy outer coating revealing salty olives stuffed with oozy cream cheese. Similarly, blending peanut butter and jelly into shakes and malts ($6.50 and $7, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆) is one of those might-work-on-paper ideas, but at Goertze's Dairy Kone the rich results are actually pretty swell, especially for peanut butter lovers, who will be happy to learn that their favorite flavor overshadows the jelly.
Meanwhile, the talk of the Food Building is the Three Pig Torta ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆) at Manny's Tortas, where owner Manny Gonzalez stacks an Oink Trifecta — crisply fried pork tenderloin, tender ham and maple-glazed bacon — inside a toasted roll, then makes it wonderfully messy by adding tomatoes, avocado, lettuce and a teasingly spicy chipotle mayo.
Neighboring San Felipe Tacos also has a newbie, and it's a doozy: a golden corn pancake topped with a marvelous, bourbon-enhanced pulled pork and ultra-creamy coleslaw ($7.50, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆). So far, so great, although the surrounding flour tortilla feels like it's venturing into bready overkill territory.
Only in Minnesota
Many fair favorites are getting the repackage treatment. Every morning until 11 a.m., Hansen's Foods dips sausage links into crunchy cornmeal batter, a snazzy spin on the classic corn dog. They're sold three to a serving ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ⋆), a great value.
Bacon is clearly the ingredient du jour. Witness the harmonious blend of bacon tucked inside a dark chocolate-covered, ricotta-stuffed cannoli ($7, ⋆ ⋆ ½) at Ole's Cannoli. Meanwhile, Double Bacon Corn Dogs is true to its name, wrapping bacon around a hot dog prior to its cornmeal batter dip, then rolling it, post-fryer, in bacon bits ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ½). The stand's other attempts at corn dog gentrification — adding roasted corn or jalapeño garnishes ($5, ⋆ ) — are pretty lame.
The beloved mini doughnut is placed on the pedestal — where it belongs, frankly — not once, but twice. Hamline United Methodist Church Dining Hall has teamed up with St. Paul's Izzy's Ice Cream to introduce Mini-Donut Batter Crunch Ice Cream ($4 and $6, ⋆ ⋆), an adorable idea that unfortunately doesn't really taste much like mini doughnuts (stick with the divine Church 'Elder' Berry instead).
Ball Park Cafe has a talker in its Mini Donut Beer ($4.75, ⋆), a limited run by Lift Bridge Brewing Co. that's served in a cinnamon- and sugar-rimmed glass, a hilarious touch. But it's more flash-in-the-pan novelty than anything else.
The flops get bigger. There's a pumpkin alternative ($6, ⋆ ½) at the Original Minneapple Pie, but stick with the original — and far superior — apple. Kudos to Blue Moon Dine-In Theater for offering some true dramatics with its Comet Corn ($5, ⋆). The process — which involves liquid nitrogen — is a Midway-worthy sideshow, but the freeze-dried snack-food medley quickly loses its appeal.
Better to stick with the stand's other newbie, two thick slices of butter-drenched toast filled with chopped wieners ($5, ⋆ ⋆ ½); they're from Kramarczuk's, which means they can't be beat. On the sausage front, there are perfectly presentable newcomers at Pitchfork Sausages ($5, ⋆ ⋆) and Sausage by Cynthia ($6, ⋆ ⋆).
Room for improvement
A number of newcomers were either so similar to existing fairground staples, or so mundane — or both — that it makes me wonder if the powers that be are almost willfully unaware of the tsunami of street-food creativity that the food truck community routinely unleashes across the sidewalks of downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul. Shouldn't the State Fair be a showcase for innovation and excellence?
Instead, fairgoers get soft-serve vanilla ice cream and a host of canned toppings over a funnel cake ($8, ⋆) at Funnel Cakes, or deep-fried Cheddar cheese rolled in crushed Cocoa Puffs ($5, ⋆) at Axel's. Absolutely no good comes from dipping the fabulously crunchy and vinegary deep-fried dill pickle chips at the Perfect Pickle in a chintzy chocolate sauce ($7, ⋆), and R&R Ice Cream cranks out chile-infused chocolate ice cream ($5, ⋆ ½), but makes it disappointingly Minnesota Spicy, which is to say not at all.
When beautifully made arepas, foie gras-topped bison burgers and rice bowls crowned with feisty Korean-style barbecued beef short ribs and soft-cooked eggs are routinely available out of local food trucks, it isn't terribly energizing to turn to Tracy's Idaho Taqueria for a gigantic plate of prepared-to-order waffle fries doused with standard-issue taco fixings ($9, ⋆ ⋆), a rote gyro sandwich from Gyros ($8, ⋆ ⋆), Hot Pockets-esque rolls of pizza dough wrapped around hamburger, pico de gallo and cheese ($5, ⋆ ⋆) at Green Mill and overpriced bacon-wrapped shrimp ($8, ⋆ ⋆) at the Shrimp Shack.
Come on, Minnesota State Fair, you can do better than this.

01/03/10 by Ghostface
Update: Migration done.
Hey guys,
Soon I am going to migrate the site to a new server, and in the process will also switch to phpBB3.
This means that some stuff will prolly not get ported over (the shop and maybe the blood for example).
All accounts, threads and posts will (hopefully) stay intact tho.
The board/site will also be unavailable for a short period of time, I will announce when exactly this is happening, but just in case - don't be alarmed if something is down or not available

New Ingame Media Update
12/13/09 by Ghostface
So after posting lots of twitter updates, and getting comments like "update without screenshots... dull" - I had to post some new screenshots
Development has been on/off alot lately, with larger gaps in the middle of the year. But lots of progress during the last months.
We are currently focusing on getting everything playtest worthy done, which resulted in me spending one weekend syncing all the weapons to sounds and adjusting thirdperson weapon positions.
All in all, the progress over the last week has been incredible.
Of course now and then we add some awesome stuff as well, as happened the other day with the stealth kills (aka fatalities from behind
Basically if a vampire succeeds in sneaking up to a slayer from behind, he is able to perform one of various awesome fatality like kills (i.e. heart rip out + eat).
At the moment me and Fragger are animating those kill sequences,
however if an animator wants to help out -> contact me.
Anyways, enjoy the screenshots (all work in progress so the one or other thing might obviously need improving/fixing).

Fuck yes, a new pic !
09/24/07 by Ghostface
I can´t believe my eyes!
Hi folks, and welcome to our yearly mediaupdate..
WTF? Sad but true: Almost a year passed since our last media-update on 10/04/06. Some of you might remember the time when we had weekly news-updates. Another big thanks at this point for supporting us by the way
The good news: Although development went on quite.. erm.. slow.. it did never stop. I am working my a** off in the few spare time I get, and also the 3d department including some freelancers keep on producing high quality game art. Thus we though its time to show you at least a little something after all the last news updates without new media.
Lets start with a brand new vampire playermodel named Spike - modeled and textured by Alessandro Briglia working as freelancer for our team (should it look or sound like any familiar character you might know from a certain TV-Series or the much better spinoff; I can assure you that it's in noooo way intentional and purely accidental..
Also we are hoping to end this long break of media updates and delivery you at least a couple of new pics in the following weeks.
Btw. thank TheFrog4u who prepared the renders and the first draft of this news update (and not to mention re-unwrapped and rigged the spike model). I rather spent the few time I have on coding for nos than writing news updates (and believe it or not but preparing news-updates takes away alot of time).
Let me again shout out a BIG thank you to all the fans and all my team members who are still supporting Nosferatu eventhough I had very little time for it the past months due to the stuff explained in my previous news post.
If you are lucky I (and maybe even some other team members) might even find some time to write some inside scope in my .plan.

So what the hell is up ?
09/02/07 by Ghostface
What the hell is up ?
That is the question everyones asking.
No update since X-Mas, is the game (it's still a game and not a mod you know
) dead ?
The answer is... of course it's
Did you really think that I am going to let all the work done on this die ?
NO, I certainly won't.
Anyway lots of stuff happened in my life. Finishing school, army, getting a job, breaking up with my girlfriend, moving out into my own flat, getting back together with my girlfriend, being busy as hell and working myself to death at my job, you name it.
Anyway its time to get back to active nos development however the developing concept changed a little.
I learned a lot and thus plans have changed.
I spent lots of time coding uber cool awesome stuff into nos that wasn't 100% perfect or unstable and whatnot. This resulted in a very unstable build with lots of unfinished code junks.
I always wanted to release an awesome first release with 10000 of cool features and whatnot delaying the release endlessly.
Anyway, here's the new development plan:
First of all we are going to release a board internal beta, which will feature the important parts and gameplay elements.
Everyone will be able to participate and test it, giving feedback on what sucks and whats cool. We can balance everything out and test stuff.
Lots of (auto)updates with short development cycles will then be released and tested by you. You should then give us feedback about what needs improvement, what's good etc.
Please note that I am not going to recode all already coded features and elements from scratch but rather merge the code from the unfinished/unstable nos build, then improve/finish the code and release it for testing.
We are then going 100% public once we reach version 1.0 which means a balanced and feature rich version of nos.
So the first beta version of nos will hit soon but will most likely not include awesome weapon sounds, advanced physics etc.
Please note that this doesn't mean that the first board beta will suck
I would like to thank all the people and board users at this point for supporting us for this long, and sorry again for the last months of silence.
Btw. even though I haven't done that much the last month, a couple of team members still worked on content for nos, including brand new player models
Stay tuned

Yes! Some real news!
10/04/06 by Ghostface
What the hell ? No, we are not dead, far from dead actually, if you want to know what the reason for the rather long news delay was, follow the last couple of news on the
front page (if you haven't done so yet).
Anyway enough excuses time for some content.
We showed you Frog's thug model before but this time he got a sweet skin to go with, made by the man himself. The skeleton, while not really a playermodel is used for the vampire dieing effect and various other things (map props etc.). To further aid your plessure, I included a nice highres render for each model.
But hell yes, I know that model renders are cool and whatever, but I also know that everyone loves new ingame pics, so after the long wait you surely deserve some. As you can see on the pics of the fnp model, the attachment system is working just fine.
Oh wait, what's that ? Can you trust your eyes ? Indeed, the first screenshots of the thug playermodel ingame (btw. the first public ingame playermodel pics)
Btw. we are targeting a closed beta release around x-mas, and right now the ETA looks pretty realistic.
Finally I would like to say thank you to all the fans who are still with us, even after the quite long summer break.

What happens when Shakira and Activia join forces to support WFP? Transformational programmes receive much-needed funding, and thousands of people hear about it for the very first time.
Providing funding, raising awareness
When Shakira and Activia, one of the world's largest yogurt brands, teamed up to make the music video for "La La La (Brazil 2014)," they wanted to celebrate the world coming together. But that is not all; using the music video, they wanted to shine the spotlight on WFP's School Meals Programme – one of the many ways WFP and our partners are building a world with zero hunger.
With the launch of the video on May 22, Activia and Shakira have donated the value of 3 million school meals to our vital programmes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nicaragua, which are facing funding challenges.
The video itself opens and closes with a brief message about WFP, and with every view online, one more person has the chance to learn about the transformational effects of our School Meals Programme.
After watching the video, viewers can go to The Activia or WFP websites to read more about the partnership and the specifics of the programme.
Highlighting solutions
In some communities where hunger and poverty are at their worst, a WFP school meal may be the only nutritious meal a child receives on a regular basis, and it is a vital component in the fight against malnutrition and hunger-related disease. It can also provide families with the necessary freedom and means to send their children to school, which can translate into significant future benefits for the children, their communities and their country's economy as a whole.
In a world where challenges often drown out their solutions in the public sphere, this type of visibility is extremely important – particularly for an organization such as WFP that is funded entirely by voluntary donations from governments, foundations, corporations and individuals.
Simply put, the more people who watch and share the video means more people will know that zero hunger is possible. And they will know that their donations to WFP makes a big difference in the lives of children around the world.
You can view the video at wfp.org/shakira. (After watching, you can receive an exclusive message from Shakira by joining the WFP community.)

The days when all you could find in London were ham sandwiches and fish and chips have long gone. The UKs capital is now one of the worlds great places to dine out, boasting elite chefs from all of the worlds major cuisines. If you want to enjoy a classic Indian feast, Brick Lane is the place to visit, where every region of the subcontinent is represented. There are high quality Italian restaurants in Soho and Kensington, as well as Turkish delights to be had in Dalston and traditional English favourites at pubs in the West End. Whatever your culinary passion, London will have a restaurant to tingle your tastebuds. All of the best dining options are featured at Groupons voucher pages, where you can find bargain deals and gifts for restaurants in London.
Some Of The Best London Restaurants Offer Italian Delights
In the 1940s and 50s, London welcomed a wave of Italian immigrants, and the city has a huge amount of fine Italian restaurants to explore. For a fine dining experience, Luna Nuova in Fulham cannot be topped. Their chefs always use fresh, authentically Italian ingredients, to create masterpieces from across the peninsular. For a more down to earth meal, try Tonda in Ladbroke Grove, where the pizzas are enormous, or Sohos Spuntino, which fuses Italian traditions with American size portions. Then there is the new wave of pizza joints like Pizza al Taglio near Farringdon, which offers a dizzying array of different toppings, or Tortellini Cup - which serves paper cups filled with tortellini and your choice of sauces.
Indian Eateries In All Corners Of The Capital
If you love Indian food, dining in London is almost as good as visiting the real thing. If you wander along Brick Lane, you can head to local favourites like Aladin which brings together dishes from southern India and Sri Lanka. If you need a hefty portion of lamb and fresh veg, Sheba is the place to be, while any curry can be rounded off with a trip to Rajmahal Sweets. Elsewhere the Indian restaurants London has to offer include vegetarian Indian buffets like Chutneys in Drummond Street. For a classy night out, Chutney Mary in the West End wins the crown as the citys most prestigious Indian eatery, with signature dishes like tandoori lobster and a luxurious cocktail bar to enjoy before you are seated.
Try The Finest Turkish Restaurants In London
London has a huge Turkish and Middle Eastern community, which means one thing kebab and couscous restaurants as far the eye can see. Well, maybe in Dalston, where you can savour the intoxicating smell of barbecued lamb at Mangal Ocakbasi or tuck into huge bowls of Turkish stew at highly-rated Somine. If you are on the other side of town, head over to Ekin on Edgware Road and order up a table-full of meze treats like falafels and hummus, or take a seat at E. Mono in Kentish Town to experience a no-frills, delicious kebab.

Elvis Lives Tickets
|Although we have run out of Elvis Lives Tickets, we would like to invite you to view tickets in the following places
Details of Elvis Lives and the Ticket Luck value
Elvis Lives is an outstanding concert series that is an all time favorite. Over the years has captured the imaginations of countless fans from all ages and backgrounds. The show has been responsible for reintroducing the King of Rock n Roll Elvis Presley. Interestingly it has also profiled and captured the glory of the King for the newer generation of American Rock n Roll.
The show features finalists from the popular Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Each performer is unique so that he highlights a specific aspect of Elvis's personality, as well as an era of his career. The Elvis tribute artists are typically backed up by an accomplished live rock n roll band. Moreover the show brings back the imagery of the era with costumes back-up singers and dancers. A surprise for most fans, the show also includes an Ann-Margret tribute performer. The show is a complete historical and visual delight, as it presents the spectators with iconic imagery from the Graceland archives. These include a rare exhibit from the lobby of the concert venue as well as life size images of Elvis' performance costumes.
The lineup of artists that make up the incredible group performing Elvis Lives concerts is lead by Bill Cherry. Cherry is a self confessed Elvis super fan and has been paying tribute to the King of Rock n Roll since the eighties. His indulgence in Elvismainia was so deep and strong that in 2009 he won the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest. Countless Elvis fans have enjoyed Cherry's excellent renditions of The King's live act. He has primarily focused on performing tributes that the people can marvel like they used to in the good old days. He pays tribute to Presley as the greatest entertainer the came to the world.
Kevin Mills is another highlight of the lineup and perhaps the most creative of all. He is essentially the one who gives a highly stylized and interpreted portrayal of Elvis Presley. His fan base rose significantly after he finished in the top ten in the 2008 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest. Mills upped the ante the following years and finished third in the 2009 version of the same event. Mills had the honor of performing for President Clinton and has been integral part of the The Elvis Cruise from its inception.
Ben Klein is the youngest of the male performers. His aura and demeanor strike an amazing resemblance to a young Elvis. Klien's background lies in singling gospel music and mastering multiple instruments like the piano, guitar, drums and bass. A little more than a decade ago, he was so touched by an Elvis album that he took up professional tribute singing. He has won numerous awards and competitions including the 2010 Collingwood Elvis Festival Gospel Competition and finished second in the 2011 Ultimate Elvis Competition.
An integral part of the Elvis Lives' lineup is Victor Trevino Jr. His childhood dream, that he would become an accomplished career musician, singer and artist. He had undoubtedly realized his dream and fulfilled his potential as top tier Elvis Presley tribute artist. Trevino has been outstanding and consistent as he has finished in the top five positions in the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contests. Trevor's routine is highly polished and tightly performed and focuses on the rockabilly era of the King's music ; the fifties, sixties and the movies. Indeed, he makes fans nostalgic for the Elvis Presley's most popular years. His aim is to introduce Elvis to the young people and bring to them the magic of his music.
The lineup also contains a female artist who performs the most astounding Ann-Margret Tribute act. Lori Russo is an award-winning actress, who has archived much in film, television and theater. For a long time people has commented about her resemblance to Ann-Margret. Lori was so flattered by the comparisons that she performed an Ann-Margret act in the Legends In Concert for more than a decade now.
For those who never saw the King in his prime, Elvis Lives helps relive the legend and legacy he left behind. No wonder, such is the reach and influence of this show those individuals from varied backgrounds like Broadway and even Elvis aficionados have been part of the lineup. Over the years it has evolved into an unforgettable live audio, visual and multimedia event that spans the full spectrum of Elvis' life. Elvis Livestickets offer classy yet chic presentation of the king in an awe inspiring show. Elvis Lives Tour 2012 is going to be an unforgettable one for all his fans. Rush for Elvis Livestickets before they are gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Can you please tell me the dates for elvis tribute show augusta ga?

and clearly. Their action contrasts sharply with the joking,
griping and agitating that have been associated with the prob-lem

coming of perfection in all campus residences, however. Rather,
it is a pattern which should be followed for finding solutions

Noise, Theft, Food Plague Library
by J. David Patterson
Hurrah for the freshman class!
Last week at the student senate
meeting approximately 45 mem-bers
of the freshman class showed
an interest in the senate by attend-ing
the meeting. This interest un-doubtedly
stimulated the senators,
for this meeting was considerably
more stimulating than those pre-vious.
The senate discussed at length
a letter sent to them by Dr. Dalphy
Fagerstrom and David Guston con-cerning
problems of conduct in
the library. The senate was asked
for help in alleviating these prob-lems.
Lindy Nelson moved that the
senate issue a circular acquaint-ing
the student with the problem
and the consequence that would
ensue if the students did not
take the initiative and cut down
the noise, stop mutilating and
stealing books, and stop bring-ing
food into the libraries.
After much discussion the pro-posal
was defeated. Bill Madsen
dealt with the problem effectively
by moving to refer the matter to
a committee already studying the
possibilities of a judiciary board
and an honor system. His motion
was carried.
Following a brief introduction
and a rather lengthy explanation
considering benefits and reasons,
the senate agreed to underwrite
Bill Swenson's expenses to the ex-tent
of $50 to attend the NAE con-vention
in Washington, D.C.
Vern Lewis made a motion
destined to aid the class officers
in obtaining dues to meet operat-ing
expenses. Lewis moved that
the class dues should be collect-
Dear Editor:
My intramural experiences at
the University of Minnesota and
here at Bethel tell me that we are
sadly mistaken in passing the buck
for the rough-and-tumble condition
of intramural basketball. This con-dition
is primarily the fault of the
players, the captains or managers
and those who sit on the benches.
There are two main causes for
the sorry condition of our intra-mural
games: (1) some players play
"dirty" basketball in order to win
(or sometimes merely for the sake
of playing "dirty"); (2) some play-ers
intentionally cultivate the an-ger
of unsportsman-like play of
an opposing player for their own
team's advantage, regardless of the
ethical or Christian principles in-volved.

or all the members of a

These comments were heard:
"It's unnecessary; it just doesn't
seem correct." "I disagree. If every-body
paid the amount would go
down." "Something must be done
but not during registration." (Re-porter's
Although the motion was defeat-ed
the matter is still not resolved.
Perhaps this would be a good topic

team—begin to lose their tem-pers.
It is characteristic of our
intramural basketball that we
try to capitalize on fits of anger
and displays of un-Christian and
unsportsman-like behavior. To
gain this advantage is seeming-ly
more important than to bring
the game back under control or
to preserve our Christian testi-monies.
Theoretically we have the Spirit
of Christ constraining us in all
that we do. Yet when ten guys
get together on the intramural bas-ketball
floor, they often seem to
consider the "Spirit of Christ" a
very irrelevent thing.
The responsibility for improving
the condition of our intramural
basketball games lies with each in-dividual
player. If each player
would consider the following sug-
To: Bethel College Student Senate
Attention: Mr. Robert Sorley
Bethel Seminary Student
Attention: Mr. Paul Evan
Dear Sirs:
We are writing to you about
some problems relating to student
use of the library. They are im-portant
because they affect the
capacity of the library to serve
students. The problems are mainly
noise, abuse of books, and food.
Most of us know that a distract-ing
level of noise often prevails in
the library. Our attendance records
indicate consistently that there are
from 30 to 40 percent more stu-dents
this year than last year in
the library at almost any hour.
This means that an ordinary
amount of noise by individuals re-sults
in a significant increase in
the general noise level.
Since we want and encourage
a general atmosphere of accept-ance
and freedom, we are ex-tremely
reluctant to impose
strict policing methods in the
library. We cannot, however, af-ford
to risk a deterioration of
study conditions in the library
during spring semester. There-fore
we must taks steps now to
preserve reasonable conditions.
The problem of abuse of books
and periodicals takes two forms.
One is removal of books from the
library without properly checking
gestions, I think our problems
would be largely eliminated.
(1) Players should cultivate
neither physical or vocal feuds,
nor outbursts of anger to the dis-advantage
of the opponent. (2)
A manager or captain should
immediately replace a player
who does not quickly forget his
anger or who is more interested
in "getting even" than in play-ing
the game.
(3) If individual players cannot
find it possible to retain Christian
friendships on the court, they
should attempt to play the games
in a purely impersonal way, letting
skill and "fate" determine the out-comes.
(4) Every player should consider
the intramural basketball games
an integral part of his Christian
life and "witness."
Dale Pearson
them out. The other is mutilation.
The students involved may often
not appreciate the extent of the
abuse they commit.
Any practice which deprives fel-low
students of materials that they
also need is obviously unethical.
The problem is more acute and
the ethics more unpleasant when
reserve books are involved.
Abuse of books and periodicals
must be described frankly as
thievery, as wilful malicious de-struction
of resources that be-long
to our community, as cal-lous
disregard for fellow stu-dents
who may need the mater-ial,
as refusal to participate re-sponsibly
and sensitively in the
Christian community of learning
at Bethel.
The third problem is that stu-dents
have brought lunches into
the stacks. Rules against eating in
the library were made to prevent
a mess that could be followed by
insects or rodents that would dam-age
the books.
Lest this catalog of abuses sound
too grim, we wish to emphasize the
fact that on the whole the library
is used responsibly. However, we
have received enough complaints
about the noise and we have ob-served
enough instances of the
other abuses so that we think some
special attention to the problems
is necessary.
Thank you for your help.

'Honest to God' Rides On
Dear Editor:
Is Christianity a matter of what
one believes or of the way a person
acts? The New Testament writers
assume (perhaps with justification)
that a necessary belief is required
for moral action.
Regardless of what that belief
is (here Robinson disagrees with
orthodox Christianity), the require-ment
for entrance into the king-dom
is moral action—"those who
do the will of my hevaenly Father"
(Matt. 7:21).
The value of the belief is de-termined
by the "deeds" which
follow (James 2:18). See also
Matt. 25:31-46, I Peter 1:17, Acts
This is where Jim Spiceland,
when reviewing Honest to God,
misrepresents Robinson. When
Robinson says "God is teaching
us that we must live as men who
can get along very well without
him," the emphasis is on "live."
Robinson is saying that the real
Christian is the one who would
"live" the moral life even if there
was no God.
He is against the idea that mor-als
are pushed upon us as a mat-ter
of self-suppression. His reac-tion
is the result of his valid ob-servation
that many of his atheist
friends better live the Christian
life than most who claim to be
So he would say that a true
Christian could be an atheist.
Spiceland completely misrepre-sents
Robinson as believing that
"True Christians are atheists!"
Robinson never says this, and
this conclusion does not follow
from his argument as I explain-ed
it above.
Spiceland's criticism of Robin-son's
anti-supernaturalism is jus-tified,
and it is here that Robinson
steps outside of the Christian tra-dition.
What we must recognize,
however, is the Bishop's thesis
that a certain supernaturalism
often prevents true Christians
from claiming Christ.
We cannot let those who call
"Lord, Lord" slam the churchs'
doors in the faces of "those who
do the will of my heavenly Fa-ther."
Linden Nelson
Dear Editor:
I would like to suggest to any-one
interested in understanding
what Bishop Robinson is attempt-ing
to say in Honest to God that
he try to fit him into an historical
Furthermore, we must not let
ourselves become so vehement in
our disagreement that we become
guilty of slandering one of Chris-tendom's
careful and valuable
scholars and responsible and con-scientious
churchmen as one who
is intellectually dishonest and mor-ally
There is not space enough al-lowed
for letters to attempt to
offer a correction to Jim Spice-land's
misunderstanding of "Hon-est
to God." But I would like
only to further suggest that
"Honest to God" should be a
welcome start toward a rebuild-ing
of an evangelical theology
which can touch the hearts of
men involved in a very material
Our theology was hatched on the
hot end of the Middle Ages and
it still smacks of the Medieval
spirit which has very little to do
with the Modern spirit.
Robinson speaks from the per-spective
of over 200 years of cri-tical
analysis of our world, and
after two drastic wars which drew
the curtain on reviewing the past.
Robinson wrote out of a grow-ing
concern for the salvation of
a world that needs a gospel
which jives with reality. Cer-tainly

Intramural Teams Play Dirty Basketball

Peter Arnott, professor at the State University of Iowa, presented
Moliere's comedy "The Cheats of Scapin" last Friday night at the Sno

Dr. Arnott designed his own puppets and stage. Much skill was evident
as Dr. Arnott produced, directed and acted this French farce.

In his talk on Communism last
Thursday, FBI special agent Ber-nard
Heulskamp stressed the idea-logical
nature of our struggle with
the Communists. Unfortunately he
fell victim to the same illogical
reasoning of which he accused the
He emphasized the extent of the
Communist influence, which con-trols
about one-third of the world
population, and then proceeded to
examine the promises, history and
problems of Communism.
Promises were summed up in
a recent statement of the twenty-second
Community party Con-gress.
They include social equal-ity,
material plenty, public own-ership
of capital and public self-government.
Huelskamp condemned all of
these too idealistic and referred to
Edgar Hoover's definition of Com-munism
as a revolutionary group
seeking to establish world-wide
by Joan McNaughton totalitarianism as a more accurate
Next, he gave a superficial his-torical
background of revolution in
the eighteenth century and the
Russian revolution in 1917.
He brought the picture up to
date with a summary of the
Communist activity in the United
States, pointing out the problem
of diplomatic immunity which
prevents the government from
trying these people for espion-age.
Huelskamp made the significant
observation that we need to know
our own principles and those of
our enemies. He then went on to
suggest the problems in the Com-munist
He accused Marx of starting with
a preconceived idea and then us-ing
"natural and observable" phe-nomena
to prove it. Marx also
made a mistake, according to
Huelskamp, when he turned the
Hegalian dialetic up-side down.
This resulted in the Communists
having an up-side down philosophy.
Huelskamp capitalized on the
preconceptions he had in com-mon
with his audience by insist-ing
that we cannot hold false-hood
in our minds. In effect he
said that truth is hard to find,
but we know what is not true.
He assured us that our philoso-phy
can be proven right if we just
look at all the facts and use our
reason. Yet, when judging Corn-munist
philosophy he claimed that
reason was not enough.
He characterized America as
an optimistic country with high
ideals and dismissed the Com-munists
as pessimists. He admit-ted
that they had ideals but
since these ideals are "unattain-able"
they are of little value.
In my opinion, Huelskamp would
have accomplished as much if he
had begun and ended with his
statement that Communism is con-trary
to our Judio-Christian heri-tage,
because he proved nothing

Classes Need Dues
Dear Editor:
I take this time and space aside
from my regular article to give
my personal opinion and argument
why I think the class dues should
be collected automatically during
Whether or not paying class dues
should be an act of school and
class spirit is not an issue. Stu-dents
do not gleefully hand over
their dues because of some inner
chauvinistic ideal.
It is equally true that a class
simply cannot operate without suf-ficient
funds. How should money
be obtained? The answer is simple,
even elementary: have the dues
collected as a part of the tuition
The main argument which de-feated
a recent senate proposal
was that students should not be
forced to give money for volun-tary
If this is true, then the student
should also be free to pay for the
CLARION, SPIRE, COEVAL, var-ious
awards, all-school banquet,

fee, money alloted to the

It would seem obvious that be-cause
these are required fees the
administration feels that they are
just. Also equally obvious is the
tremendous difficulty that would
be experienced if each of these
fees were to be collected on a vol-untary
basis, by many different
Individual classes are experienc-ing
this difficulty collecting dues.
The problem becomes worse as one
progresses from freshman to sen-ior,
as June Erickson pointed out.
This is why I argue that if these
other benefits in which students
may or may not participate re-quire
payment, then it is similarly
as just and "correct" to require
the payment of class dues at regis-tration.

Wednesday, February 12, 1964
by James D. Spiceland
Obtaining an objective account
of the week's news has long been
considered the right of all Ameri-cans.
Businessmen, politicians, aca-demicians
and even college stu-dents
need and desire a relatively
accurate and concise account of
events in all quarters.
For many years the American
standard in this area has been
Time magazine. Of late this publi-cation
has had to deal with some-thing
new—a competitor.
NEWSWEEK magazine, owned
by the Washington Post com-pany,
and reporting the news
from a new "liberal" perspective
has appeared with its more ob-vious,
honest biases and pre-suppositions.
There are many people who are
gaining a new respect for this pub-lication.
Before Newsweek had at-tained
its present stature, people
who desired to be informed often
felt that Time was the only maga-zine
worthy of genuine prestige.
Political biases and presupposi-tions
of Time are concealed from
all but the most curious reader in
the cleverest ways. In the summer
of 1963, the Negro's "summer of
discontent," the reporting and
commentary was typically non-committal.
One week's edition would
leave the reader with a positive
reaction to the Negro cause (no-thing
is ever enthusiastically sup-ported),
while the next would
seive to subtly confuse the issue.
Periodic issues, with no apparent
pattern of frequency, are reputed
to offer scholarly gagings of the
pulse of American life. The recent
issue on sex and morals in the
United States is an example.
Last year's issue on "the indi-vidual
In America" had all the
characteristics of a cynical joke on
our complex society. A smorgas-bord
of quotes and witty cliches,
it was written by that paragon of
American self-reliance, a commit-tee.
TIME'S style of writing is with-out
peer in the United States.
While this writer may not like
the CLARION Page 3
all of the attitudes evidenced in
the magazine, the quality of ex-pression
and clever use of lan-guage
cannot be denied.
Newsweek is not so prone to in-dulge
in word games and mental
trickery with its readers. The
magazine was constantly favorable
to the Kennedy administration and
has continued in the same vein
with the Johnson administration.
While attempting to give an ob-jective
account of world events,
Newsweek recognizes its finiteness
and does not try to deceive its
readers about its positions on every
Complete objectivity in record-ing
and interpreting human
events is not one of the options
open to a publication. Whereas
NEWSWEEK seems to happily
admit this fact, TIME apparent-ly
chooses to respond by obscur-ing
whatever presuppositions
they may work from.
Climbing on to a great make-believe
metaphysical platform, they
peer down on the world and judge
all of the poor mortals. But alas,
the criteria for judging is never
detected by the reader.
Yet there is a paradox here:
somehow we feel that we must
read Time if we really desire to
know what has been happening.
And this cannot be said of News-week.

Bethel expanded its record to
10-6 as it captured victories against
Morris and Trinity before losing
to Bemidji state and beating North-western

"Go, Jim, Go" was a constant cry from the stands last year as Bethel
climaxed their second straight successful football season under the lead-ership
of co-captain Jim Nelson. Few people will ever realize the im-pact
"Nellie" has made on the football team with his drive and spirit
which has led the Royals from a 2-6 record in 1960 to a 7-1 and a 6-2
record during the last two seasons.
"Nellie" climaxed his college football career last month when he
learned that he was recipient of the Williamson 1963 Little All-American
Award. Last year Jim received Little All-American honorable mention.
Membership on the Williamson Rating system of Houston, Texas,
is based on a poll taken by the athletic departments of various small
colleges. It includes the top 33 ball players in the nation. "Nellie" is
listed as one of the top three small college fullbacks in the nation.
Nelson entered Bethel in 1960 as an all-state fullback from Cam-bridge,
Minn. As a freshman he won the Most Valu-able
Player award and finished sixteenth in the
National NALA. rushing statistics. In 1962 "Nellie"
was once again elected Most Valuable Player as he
led the team in scoring with 53 points and finished
fifteenth in the National NAIA rushing statistics
with a 95.5 yd. per game average.
Last year Nelson was co-captain of a most suc-cessful
Royal eleven who achieved a 7-1 record. He
finished eleventh in NAIA rushing statistics with a 102.8 yd. per game
average and was once again elected the team's Most Valuable Player.
Football fans will never forget Bethel's final gridiron clash as
"Nellie" scored 29 points to lead the Royals to a 65-0 victory over
Jamestown. This gave Jim a total of 84 points as he topped Bob Spinner
of St. John's to become Minnesota's leading scorer and finished eighth
in the National NAIA rating.
But Nelson is more than a football player. Throughout his four years
on Bethel's campus he has provided leadership and interest in the
student senate, B. club and classroom.
Coach Halleen praised his work when he said, "Jim certainly de-serves
all the honor and recognition he has received. He has given
one hundred percent all the time and has served his school to the
"One of Jim's outstanding characteristics is that he constantly
strives to do his best and then gives the credit to the rest of his team-mates."
"Nellie's" future plans are still uncertain, but present he is major-ing
in history and minoring in physical education, planning to teach
and coach.
Next year number 30 will not be seen on the gridiron because it
was permanently retired by the players and coaches in honor of Nelson's
fine playing. He was elected Most Valuable Player for the fourth year
in a row and he finished his career as probably the greatest player in
Bethel's history.

Only a select few achieve recognition.
Two seniors at the University of Minnesota, Crookston are the recipients of the prestigious Scholarly Excellence in Equity and Diversity (SEED) award. Wemimo Samson Abbey and Dae Yeul "Danny" Lee are recipients of the Sue W. Hancock Undergraduate SEEDs of Change Award. The two were recognized on at the University of Minnesota Equity and Diversity Breakfast held at the McNamara Alumni Center on the Minneapolis campus.
Abbey, a senior from Lagos, Nigeria, has a passion for leadership, research, family, and country. He is majoring in business management and organizational psychology and has taken on leadership roles both on campus and outside campus organizations that have led to exciting opportunities for him in the areas of research and the creation of a non-profit. Inspired after attending the 22nd Annual Diversity Recruitment Program at Harvard University, Abbey established the non-profit organization "Change Africa," dedicated to fighting poverty with education and sustainable free enterprise endeavors. With a grade point average (GPA) of 3.7, he credits experiences at the University of Minnesota, Crookston with empowering him to devote his life to fight for the powerless, stand up for women, and never give-up on the hopeless.
Abbey's advisor, Kenneth Johnson, instructor in the Business Department, admires Abbey's dedication. "It is safe to say, I cannot imagine any other student who could accomplish what he has while simultaneously excelling in classes, research, and a plethora of other activities," Johnson says.
Lee, a senior accounting major from Seoul, Korea, is dedicated to issues of equity and diversity. A 4.0 GPA student, he has been a critical part of the Crookston campus recently being named a tax preparation site, and as an IRS certified tax volunteer, he has helped many of the community's elderly complete their tax forms. When Lee first came to campus, he saw the need for increased awareness of diversity and worked with members of the Multicultural International Club to host an international market, game night, language lessons, and a celebration of holidays around the world, among others. Lee believes that empowering people and using what he has learned in his classes will change lives and continues to work to build a better world which respects diversity and strives for equity and social justice.
Advisor to Lee, accounting instructor Ken Bulie, J.D., says Lee stands out. "I have had several very good students over the years, but probably none that have the unique combination of personality, determination, intelligence, and commitment to valuing diversity through service that Danny has," Bulie says.
The Office for Equity and Diversity's SEED awards program honors and acknowledges diverse students who are doing outstanding work at the University of Minnesota, both in and out of the classroom. Undergraduate SEED Award recipients are diverse students who demonstrate impressive achievement and leadership in the area(s) of academic performance and/or community outreach/activism.
In addition, SEED Award recipients must demonstrate a deep understanding of and commitment to issues of equity, diversity, and social justice through their academic work and/or service to the community. Six to ten undergraduates are honored with the SEED Award each year. For more information, visit academic.umn.edu/equity/awards/seed_awards.html.
Past recipients of the SEED award from the U of M, Crookston include Lhakpa Gurung in 2010 and Yangchen Gurung in 2011.

Culture Shock
Ice, Ice, Baby—So, the other day I'm riding my bicycle over to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science to see the exhibit they've got on display about Antarctica. It's the middle of the afternoon and hot as hell. I'm really sweatin' it up. Pedaling madly in that insane heat, I'm not even at the show yet, and I'm already daydreaming about emperor penguins and big, wide, white plains of frigid Antarctic ice. Once I finally get inside, it only takes a few minutes to feel fully immersed in that other world. They've even piped in Antarctic sounds—howling winds, creaking ice—to aid in the illusion.

The mainstream art world can be dirty, deceptive and painfully exclusive, especially for scrappy unknown artists struggling to make names for themselves.

Thankfully, events like this weekend's We Art The People Folk Art Festival exist to pull the arts back down to Earth where they belong.

how do you get your xstar on the trailer?
Ok, peeps. I hate to admit it, but I have he** getting my xstar on the trailer. I came from a runabout and could load it with my eyes closed. I understand this comes from the fact that the outdrive is easier to manuever than the x stars rudder.
I've tried gentle power off/on to help steering, putting the wheel wells 2 inches under water, etc.
Any tips would be great. How deep do you put your trailer, how do you steer, etc.
Well I dont have an x-star but when getting my tristar out I barely put my trailer in the water. I have a single axle mastercraft trailer and I put it in until the water is level or just under the front foot step on the trailer in front of the wheel well. This makes the top of the wheel well probably three inches out of water. If I go in any deep the nose of the bow hits the front pulley instead of riding over it and/or the toe ring hit the v-bunk. I also soak my bunks with liquid rollers (spray can product) pretty often. So next time try putting the trailer in a little shallower.
Oh, and I also power the boat up the trailer and have someone on the dock tell me when the toe eye gets to the front roller. Slow and steady is key. Il then leave in just slightly on power so it doesnt slide back into the water and il climb over the front and hook up the strap. Ive tried just winching it up but it feels like the winch is going to rip the tow eye through the hull haha.
What is it that's giving you problems? Lining the boat up? Getting it all the way on the trailer? Steering issues?
When I put my boat on, I'll bring the trailer into the water (I found on my ramp it's easier dunking the fenders about 2-3" under water) then when I drive the boat on, I start a little ways out to get my path down. I'll slowly idle forward, then click throttle back to neutral, back to forward idle, back to neutral, and keep doing that so I have steering control. I barely leave it on power doing this to control my speed, and just drive the nose as center up the trailer as I can. Once the boat starts resting on the bunks, it starts leveling itself on the trailer, and I'll give the boat power to push it up into position. I'll then leave the power forward enough to not slide back down the trailer, and buckle everything I need to buckle up at the bow, climb back over the windshield, shut her down, and signal to drive to pull me out.
It definitely took some practice, but once you get it these things are a dream to load compared to some other boats. I also don't have an X-star, but the DD/VD's are all pretty similar when loading/unloading.
As a side note, when I unload the boat I try to always line my boat up with the dock on port side since when you power off the boat naturally pulls starboard. Gives me a little extra maneuvering room, since I have pretty much zero control in reverse.
float the boat on the trailer!!! works EVERYTIME!! unless you want to look like a wally!?!?
kal dude
^what I do. I get my trailer pretty deep and have mine sprayed with liquid gold. I get her in and slightly floating, crank her up, and pull off. Only problem I ever had doing this was jacked up a transom transducer which shouldn't be on the boat in the first place. Takes about 1 minute to get her in and out. Find out what depth works for you, mentally mark your tire depth on the tow vehicle, and rinse/repeat. If you are new try to get an end ramp so you are open on one side or the other just to relieve stress.

SammyD I think I just have a bad trailer design or something. I have tried putting it in deeper but when i do the nose of the boat hits the roller and stops instead of going over it. Same thing with the toe strap eye, it hits the v-bunk and stops the boat. I have tried putting it in REALLY deep too, like tow vehicle back tires a foot in the water and same result. I think i should just buy a new trailer. The new ones seem to be designed better, like the v bunk has a gap in the center for the tow eye to pass through.
Hey Jason,
It may be that you are putting the trailer in too deep (not sure if anyone has said this), especially if your Xstar has the SuperFly bow. I have an X45 and it took me a little while to get used to the trailer position coming from a traditional bow shape. I found that if I put my nerves aside and leave the trailer a bit further out of the water than I would have for prior boats, I can power straight up the trailer without an issue. The bunks guide me right in as they should.
When I first started out, before I realized my error, I was finding that the nose of the bow wasn't clearing the roller.
Just my 2 cents,
Day1 Wakesurfers
A whole lot depends on the steepness/flatness of the ramp being used keep in mind. I have a '04 X2 on a tandem CA built trailer, and 98% of the ramps I have used I leave just a bit of the top leading edge of the trailer fender showing above the water, maybe an inch (see elipse in attached picture). The back end of the boat is usually barely floating... same with loading, the boat comes in, contacts the bunks, glides forward up to about a foot from my orange roller (replaced boat buddy), slap the winch stap on and power forward till it touches the roller, tighten winch strap, pull up ramp.
mzimme description of lining up a little ways out using power, neutral, power, neutral, just bumping for a second or two for steering ... seems to help with line up coming to the trailer and not coming in too hot either. My wife actually takes the boat both unloading & loading and I am in charge of the trailer.

The evening of Nov. 13 was clearly a difficult one for New York State Education Commissioner Dr. John King and Chancellor Meryl Tisch.
Although, it was not like they hadn't heard it all before. Opponents of the way the state has rolled out the Common Core standards demand to be heard, and they are not taking any prisoners — especially among the enemy, the New York State Department of Education.
The two state officials sat alone at a table on the auditorium stage at Mineola High, listening intently – some say without hearing a word — as teachers, administrators and parents, many of them both school staff and parents — 47 in all — spoke out about the state's roll-out of what has popularly come to be called the Common Core.
While all of them approved of the Common Core standards, but not one of those 47 people said that they approved of the way the state has introduced the program to local school districts.
I was standing to the right of the stage, speaking with participants after they had spoken to King and Tisch from the podium below where they were sitting.
One after another walked away shaking their head and many had the same comment: "They didn't hear a word that I said."
Apparently, the uncaring, unhearing feeling extends to the federal educational bureaucracy as well.
Speaking to state school superintendents about the complaints about the rollout of the Common Core standards and testing program, the U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, said "It's fascinating to me that some of the pushback is coming from sort of, white, suburban moms who — all of a sudden — their child isn't as brilliant as they thought they were and their school isn't quite as good as they thought they were, and that's pretty scary. You've bet your house and where you live and everything on 'my child's going to be prepared.' That can be a punch in the stomach.
So, the problem with the rollout is not with the educational officials who fouled up, but with the parents, who don't understand what is going on.
And so with King, many of whom's answers to questions about common core and the issues surrounding it — testing, privacy rights, teacher evaluation — were greeted with groans, jeers, laughs, shouts and demands from the audience.
As part of an agreement to receive extra federal funding from the Race To The Top initiative, New York like most states has instituted an extensive testing regimen based on the Common Core, a national initiative that aims to have kids college- or career-ready by the time they graduate from high school. Part of the plan involves using student test scores to help evaluate teacher performance.
That has angered teachers who say they haven't had adequate time to prepare kids for the new tests. At the same time, parents complain that their children are being tested too often and too early.
That most of those present in the Mineola High School auditorium for the forum, sponsored by State Sen. Jack Martins (Rep. – Mineola), opposed the state's roll out was an indication of how strongly school people feel about the issue.
A recent poll by a respected company found that 45 percent of New Yorkers were confident that the Common Core standards would better prepare students, with 49 percent not confident. That is not exactly a rousing endorsement for a program that the state is pushing hard to sell as one that will ensure that students who graduate public schools will be ready for either college or a career.
The survey also said that 52 percent of voters think there is too much testing in public schools.
And while 34 percent think the Common Core standards are too demanding, 27 percent said they are not demanding enough, and 23 percent said they are about right.
"On the implementation of Common Core standards in public schools, New Yorkers are as divided as a physical education class that just broke up into teams," said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. "There's no consensus at all on whether the standards are too demanding, not demanding enough or just right."
If the participants at the forums held on Long Island over the last two weeks is any measurement, however, there is a consensus on the state's implementation of the program and that overwhelming consensus is that the state has screwed the pooch — rolling out the program so badly and so without feeling for kids or parents that King and Tisch should be taken off the field and replaced by somebody who listens, somebody who cares.
The state's PTA has called for a one-year moratorium on both the roll-out and the testing programs to give schools a chance to catch up in both curriculum and material to address that curriculum. The association that represents Nassau County principals agrees.
They are right, as were the parents, superintendents, teachers and students who stood face to face with Tisch and King and told the two that they are wrong to continue the draconian program without taking a deep breath and without fixing the apparently broken program.

Joe Haklin '73 Named New Wabash ADby Brent Harris • May 2, 2011 Share:
Wabash College President Patrick E. White has appointed Joseph R. Haklin as the College's new Director of Athletics and Campus Wellness. Haklin, a 1973 Wabash graduate, replaces Tom Bambrey '68, who will retire at the end of June.
Haklin is currently the Director of Athletics at Marian University in Indianapolis, and will begin his service to Wabash on July 1.
"As an Academic All-American and Hall of Fame athlete at Wabash, Joe Haklin understands the special character of athletics at the College: our commitment to taking seriously the highest ambitions of our students as both scholars and as athletes," President White said. "He brings home to Wabash his life-long commitment as teacher/coach and his experience as athletic director, able to encourage the best efforts of coaches and athletes."
Haklin was named Director of Athletics at Marian University in 2005. During his time directing the Knights' athletics program, Haklin authored a football business plan that established the University's first team. In just its fourth year of competition, the Marian football team qualified for the NAIA Football Championship Series in 2010, finishing the season with a record of 10-3.
Haklin also co-directed the construction of the $3.3 million expansion of the Physical Education Center and the $3.5 million Marian University Athletic Complex, including the stunning St. Vincent Health Football Field. He has restructured the entire Marian athletics administrative, coaching, and financial programs, helping the Knights finish second in the Commissioner's Cup in the Mid-Central College Conference for the 2009-2010 season, the highest finish ever for Marian.
Haklin was also the supervisor in the construction of the Marian University Cycling Center. The center was constructed using monetary and in-kind donations. The center has benefitted the entire Marian University community as the staff offers spin classes and PowerBooster classes for the entire community to get fit. It is also the winter training home for the 12-time collegiate national track cycling champions.
"I greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with the wonderful people at Marian University during the past six years," Haklin said. "The administrators, coaches, and student-athletes at Marian share a quest for excellence which has truly transformed the institution. I will always treasure my time spent with the Marian University community.
"However, I am deeply honored to be named the next Director of Athletics and Campus Wellness at Wabash College, my alma mater. As a student-athlete, I benefitted from the guidance and mentoring of professors and coaches from an earlier era. Now, I have the opportunity to serve the current student-athletes of Wabash in a similar way as the leader of the athletic department. I am humbled, yet excited about carrying out that responsibility."
Haklin majored in history and graduated summa cum laude from Wabash in 1973. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was a Rhodes Scholar finalist. He was a four-year letterman in both football and baseball, and was a three-year letterman on the Wabash basketball team. As a senior, Haklin was named a Second Team Academic All-American in football and a First Team Academic All-American in basketball. He was elected captain of both the football and baseball teams and earned the baseball team's Most Valuable Player Award in 1973. Haklin was the recipient of the Tony Hinkle Scholar-Athlete Award, presented by the Indiana Collegiate Conference to the league's outstanding student-athlete. He was inducted in the Wabash College Athletics Hall of Fame in 1991.
"Joe's work at Marian has been transformative, dynamic, and impressive," said Wabash Dean of Students Mike Raters. "It is his lifelong and deep-rooted love for the Division III student-athlete experience, though, which has led him back to his alma mater. Our young men will find an engaging and enthusiastic leader who wants to learn about — and further — their Wabash experience. He is committed to continuing the great legacy of Wabash athletics and, particularly, shaping its significant role in the overall education of our students."
"It's been a pleasure working with Joe for the past six years and I'm sorry to see him leave Marian University, but I wish him well at his alma mater," Dr. Thomas J. Enneking, Executive Vice President and Provost of Marian, said.
Haklin served three years as a history teacher and coach at Kent School in Connecticut before beginning his coaching career in earnest. He was named the head basketball and baseball coach along with duties as a history teacher at University Liggett School in Michigan in 1976. He became the assistant men's basketball coach and physical education instructor at Wayne State University in 1979 before taking a position as the assistant men's basketball coach at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1982.
Haklin moved across town in 1987 to take the position of head coach of the men's basketball and women's softball teams at Kalamazoo College in addition to duties as and adjunct assistant professor of physical education. He was named an associate professor of physical education and men's golf coach in 1990 while continuing to coach the men's basketball team.
Haklin led the Hornets men's basketball team to a record of 218-166 from 1987 to 2002, the second-highest winning total for a coach in Kalamazoo College history. In 2002, he was named the director of basketball at The Courthouse Athletic Center in Kalamazoo, where he directed summer basketball camps along with fall and winter basketball conditioning programs. Haklin also served as a color commentator for television and radio high school basketball broadcasts in the southwest Michigan area.
"The search committee, comprised of coaches, faculty, staff, and both alumni and student representation, did a fantastic job working through a large, deep, and talented pool," added Dean Raters. "That group deserves a great deal of credit and appreciation for managing the complexities of the process, which yielded such a strong and enthusiastic leader as Joe.
"We have clearly had an exceptional year of athletic success in 2010-11. Led by first-time conference championships in baseball and indoor track and fiel, as well as national meet success by the cross country team and a convincing Monon Bell victory, our current Little Giants have lived up to the school's nickname. Accordingly, retiring Athletic Director Tom Bambrey leaves big shoes for Joe to fill. We are confident Joe is the right man to try to fill them," Dean Raters said.
"I am confident Joe Haklin will provide the leadership to build on the grand tradition of success that marks Wabash athletics and advance the fine work of Tom Bambrey, who as Athletic Director and as Dean of Students has done so much to carry forth the spirit and greatness of sport at Wabash," President White added.

Without that stupid logo and "Los Angeles" that cardigan might almost be wearable. Do I even need to comment on the rest?ReplyDelete
I NEED MOAR BRANDING!ReplyDelete
I just threw up, will stare at clean, white wall to give my eye's a rest!ReplyDelete
Even more subtle would have been to retract yesterday's post and lecture us all on the merits of Banana Republic shirts.ReplyDelete
Stephen- Today is not a day for being subtle.ReplyDelete
Seeing as how the daily subtlety and sarcasm in your posts is lost on a good number of commenters, you're probably right.ReplyDelete
Please Please Please, tell me this is a joke? April Fool's and all...ReplyDelete
Dude... Chill.ReplyDelete
TJR- The word "Fool" in the title and a post tag of "April Fools" would indicate that is the case.ReplyDelete

Did they really refer to that denim as "raw?"ReplyDelete

Do people who wear Ed Hardy actually have ideas worth writing down in a moleskine?ReplyDelete
