Campaign 75
Candidates answer questions at the Clarion press conference. They are (left to right) Mark Johnson,
Pete Anderson, Jean Barker, Paul Greely, Chuck Haaland and Bob Moeller.
Candidates face the • Issues
We knew the questions we wanted to ask, and even who we wanted to answer them (namely, the three
teams running for the presidency and vice-presidency of the Student Association: Mark Johnson/Bob Moeller,
Chuck Haaland/Paul Greely, and Pete Anderson/Jean Barker). Our only problem was how to solicit the answers.
For a week we debated ways and means of getting the political candidates to say what they really
thought. Should we ask each team to s~bmit a position paper? Would it be better to interview each team?
We threw out both of these alternatives and chose a third: we called a press conference and invited all three
teams. Our rationale was this: in a press conference situation, all candidates would answer the same questions
and could be alloted equal amounts of time for doing so; all the candidates could hear each other's answers
and be free to comment on them; and last, the differences between their answers would be more immediately
discernable to us (the press) and you (the voting public).
Several days before the press conference, the candidates were supplied with a list of questions they might
be asked (Anderson/Barker announced their candidacy the night before and didn't receive our list, nevertheless
they appeared at the conference and offered their positions on the issues). The spread which begins. on
page four is a partial transcript of the hour-long press conference with the highlights of each team's replies.
Women need a larger
share of the pie
The "equal opportunity" for involvement in Bethel athletics,
which supposedly exists for men and women, is a puzzle
to us.
Considering that ,95.7 percent of the athletic budget
goes towards men's sports, we can only conclude that the
"equal opportunity" (further explained in our feature on
page eight) exists only for the males on this campus.
Perhaps it's true that women here don't desire a hockey
or football team. Therefore, it is reasoned that women need
only four varsity sports, while men require nine. The problem
with this is, even the four women's sports are underfunded.
The women's track program, for example, with minimum
spending (it just recently purchased a set of uniforms,
and doesn't have the money to feed its athletes on
"tour," as the other sports do) expects to end the year in the
As a matter of fact, the combined women's sports of
Bethel College receive the equivalent of 10 percent of the
Bethel football budget.
The attitude toward women's sports until now has been
such that many girls ~ho might like to become involved
hold back, afraid of sacrificing their femininity for a healthy
body. We hope the athletic department will lead the way in
dispelling this vision of tire past, and place a higher priority
on women's sports - in its budget and its attitudes.

Do!rm methods blasted
Dear Editor:
After Hagstrom changed their open dorm policy to a
weekly open dorm, I thought perhaps Bodien could also attempt
a stab at a policy equal to that of new campus. To
begin with, I circulated a poll throughout Bodien to determine
whether or not others agreed. The following day a manifesto
was posted throughout the dorm. It set forth our open
dorm policy which is one Friday night and one Sunday afternoon
each month and concluded "This decision will not
The point that I would like to make is that this final
statement exemplifies one of the most closed-minded attitudes
I've been exposed to here at Bethel. It isn't the
policy itself I find negative, for it is possible the majority
of the residents want this, but rather, the method in which
it is being presented. I would like to think that input from
the residents themselves would be welcomed, not forbidden.
Our houseparents and floor coordinators need to reexamine
who they are representing, if anyone. One student's
attempt at gaining an overall opinion concerning a possible
change should never initiate this type of a reactionary
response. Hopefully, in the future, residents can regain their
right to make their voices heard.

Dear Editor:
Reactions to the "Founder's Week flyer" were a source
of amusement and irritation to me. 'Regardless of my friendship
with Larry Herzberger I find myself in agreement with
his message. I wrote Larry about my own guilty gashogging
pick-up truck. In addition to the' environmental concerns,
I can add the question of stewardship. When they
predict gas prices of $1 per gallon in Utah, proper use of the
Lord's money must be considered. Even at the present price,
a few more miles per gallon would be better stewardship.
Facts such as these, plus the general, and I might add,
Biblical principles Larry discussed in his flyer, should "convict"
I would like to ask Mr. Mann if his conviction is based
upon the subjective reaction he had to the Bethel opposition
he encountered or upon something more rational, objective,
factual, and propositional. Does Larry have to quote
scripture before someone recognizes a Biblical principle?
In response to those who consider Larry to be too
judgmental, the scripture clearly states that it is the responsibility
of the Christian brother to first admonish ~
brother privately when he sees a brother at fault. Faults are
determined by careful study of Biblical principles and application
of them to life-situations. Perhaps those of you who
were offended are content with generalizations, but fearful
of concrete examples of error in your lives. The JudeoChristian
society was blamed for the rape of nature because
of Genesis 1 :28-30. The charges are unfounded,. if based
upon that passage, but can we claim proper stewardship
of our natural and financial resources if we insist upon
ignoring truth because it comes too close to home? Our
'actions ' seem to deny proper stewardship. I will use my
vehicle sparingly and walk more often until the day comes
tha t I can find a more economical engine or another car.
A word of caution to those who had misgivings simply
because of negative feedback. Either you agreed with the
flyer and signed or you did not weigh the ' issue to see
if you could commit yourself totally and signed without
thinking. If it is something worth a life-commitment, then
don't back down.
To those insulted, I was under the impression that Christian
love "seeks not its own, is not easily provoked .. "
I believe that you owe Larry an apology for your lack of
love, despite your feelings about the merits of his message.
I don't believe that Larry was antagonizing you; he is more
concerned for people than I was in my Bethel days.
For the sake of' the Body,

Item: According to a CBS News Report, a Senate committee's
investigation of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
has revealed that the CIA was involved in the assassination
of foreign leaders during the '50s and '60s.
Item: . Two former key aides to the late Robert F.
Kennedy say that he told them that agents of the
CIA had contracted with the Mafia in an aborted plot to ..
assassinate Premier Fidel Castro of Cuba before the Bay
of Pigs invasion of 1961.
Item: The Rockefeller Commission, also investigating the
CIA, according to informed sources is looking into allegations
that the CIA was involved in the assassination of
President John F-. Kennedy in 1963.
For a moment place yourself back in 1965 and re-read
these items.- They sound absurd, don't they? They have the
tone of a sick, libelous, horror-story that might show up in
the hysterical headlines of a third-rate supermarket news:paper.
They don't even warrant a second-look, do they?
Now place yourself back in March of 1975. You're now
a part of the Watergate Generation, an age of Americans
who've been shocked into suspicious cynicism by milk deals,
wheat deals, Pentagon Papers, tapes, buggings, plumbers,
dirty tricks, the list goes on ad nauseum. Now re-read
those items again. Are they really so absurd?
At the risk of opening new "scandals" (if they are
true, that is much too polite a term), we as American citizens
must demand that these charges be investigated fully
by the Congress of the United States. If even the suspicion
that they might be true continues to linger after the
concluding reports of these committees are filed away,
we might see a new "canc'er growing," this time limited
not only to the Presidency, but on the entire political system
of the United States. In comparison, Watergate
would begin to look like a "third-rate burglary."
This is a strong claim to make, but the charges warrant
it. The very idea that a tax-suppported government organization
might be involved in the murders of foreign dignitaries,
for whatever rationalization, is shocking. The charge
that this same organization has conspired with the crime syn-
dicate to accomplish thes~ murders is incredible. Th~ suspicion
that this U.S. organization had anything to do with
the assassination of a President is numbing.
Could these things possibly be true? The American people
must face those haunting questions and seek the truth no
matter where it leads.

'Clarion: How do you feel about the substantial enrollment
increases that are now being considered by the adminis·
tration? Do you feel such increases would affect the quality
of 'education at Bethel?
Haaland/Greely: "Quality education" was the topic of
your Clarion editorial last week (February 28). But we feel
that Bethel is growing and that the quality of education here
is exceeding quite highly. Bethel must be doing its job be-cause
it's getting more studen~s to come here. '
We think that Bethel could increase its student body
at a slower level, instead of jumping to 1,650 or 1,800 or whatever.
But the task force committee which is trying to decide
this issue now (Hugh McLeod, Dr. Nettleton, Dean J essup,
Dr. Finlay and Jim Bragg) needs more input to make
its decision. The task force checked with the department
heads, but didn't discuss the issue 'with any students.
We would like to see more students involved in a compromise
on this issue. We should work with Dr. Finlay (the
Registrar) to see if we could get more classes scheduled
in the afternoon or at night, maybe even on Saturday mornings.
The largest increase in the student body next year (over
this year) will be in returning students. There will be
1,000 returning students, 75 transfers and 490 f:reshmen
next year. We have to thank the task force on enrollment
for this, because they kept President Lundquist's original
proposal down.
We are against an immediate jump in enrollment to
1,800. But we're also thinking toward the future ... but if we
could work into an enrollment of 1,800 in the near future
we should start it now.
We don't think the quality of our education is dropping.
We think our teachers are JUS! super people. But we are
losing a ' personal emphasis in that classes at the moment
are overcrowded.
Clarion: What single, main project would you like to
accomplish through the Student Associationj:Student 'Senate
next year?
Vaaland/Gr'eely: It's hard to pick out a single project
we're working toward. We have three projects, actually, but
they are maybe in one: student input; student involvement;
and communication between the students, President Lundquist,
the new dean, the new ,campus pastor, the registrar's
office, business, faculty and most important the Board of
Regents. We want students to get involved so that they can
bring their ideas forward. We have the highest quality of
student here, and they should have input in these areas.
Bethel is the best school we've ever been to. We can't
say enough good things about it. Everything is fantastic -
the .faculty, the administration, but especially the students.
And if we have enough faith we can do whatever we possibly
think we can do. We can move mountains if we have to.
'Clarion: We'd like to ask each of you why you'd like
to be elected, in terms of your own personal goals.
Haaland: I'm running for this office because I feel we
could get a lot of things done. If we show enthusiasm,
we can accomplish quite a bit. I would like to commit
myself to work in thr~e areas: the spiritual, to really
create a high, Christian-type atmosphere here; the academic,
to set Bethel's classes and programs to the highest extent; the
cultural, to get more students involved in activities.
Oreely: I believe I can give the direction and motivation
to bring the Senate along and create an enthusiastic
and energetic concern for the student.
,Clarion: How do you feel about the nursing program
which is being considered for IBethel at the present time?
Haaland/Oreely: A nursing program would be great, because
there are so many gi-rls who come here . who are
trying to get started in the nursing program. It would be
a great asset to Bethel, but as the question sits right now,
it's an impossibility. Financially it's rough to start up
part of a school like this, and also there is the problem
of housing. We have to wait until we have the facilities
to accomodate such a program.
Clarion: With the new · dean coming, we've heard that
some of the academic requirements may be reviewed soon.
How do you feel about the P.E. requirement?
Haaland/'6reely: Right now everybody is trying ,to get
physically fit. The girls are out there running more than
the guys are, the guys are working out in the weight room.
Everyone is getting involved in athletics and we still think
we should have a strong four courses for graduation.
You can tell P.E. is a great thing at Bethel because
when you try to sign up for it, all the classes are closed.
Haaland: I would like to commit myself
to work in three areas: the spiritual,
to really create a high, Christiantype
atmosphere; the academic
and the cultural.
Greely: I believe I can give the
direction . . . to
bring the Senate along and
create . . . concern for the student
Clarion: How do you feel about the substantial enrollment
incr eases that are now being considered by the
administra tiO'n? nO' you feel such increases WO'uld affect
the quality O'f education at Bethel?
_ J O'hnson/Moeller: We are for the cutting off of enrollment
at 1,565, so that it can come down ~o 1,500 and be
stabilized. We stand on that. We feel that the number of
people coming into Bethel should be limited.
Now, the question comes, how is the school going to do
this and still make it · financially? There are three ways in
which finances come into Bethel. First, through alumni and
other contribution resources. Second, tuition can go up. Or,
more students can be accepted into the school. Well, tuition
for next year is already going up to $260 per course. That's
been decided. There's nothing we .can do about that.
But we can do something about enrollment.
The basic answer to this question lies in furtber development
of our alumni and alternative-source-other-than-tuition
programs. We feel the stress now should not be on recruiting
more studnents, but on developing our alumni resources.
In the next few weeks, Ross Elkjer of Alumni
Affairs will be conducting a "phone-athon" in which he will
be contacting all the· alumni of Bethel College in _ this area,
then in the area around Chicago and then the area out
East. It is money from projects such as this which will
help us to stabilize.
Johnson: I'm running for the
presidency because I think
I can listen to all the students
and be a voice for them
Clarion: What single, main project would you like to
accomplish through the Student AssociatiO'n/Student Senate
next year?
Johnson/MO'eller: Our main project next year would be
establishing a Student Senate which would move out. We
would like to see the Senate become an aggressive opinion
seeker. A group which would be willing to pull in opinions
and work on any and all ideas.
This could be done through tangible long-range and
short-range goals. These main goals would circumference
six main areas: Student Association, spiritual climate, social
climate, world awareness climate, academic climate and student
To elaborate on what we mean by social climate, we feel
·that we should have more inter-class housing, not have a
freshman and upper-class campus. We feel that a combination
of the two could lead to the 'mutual development
of relationships. We would like to see a student union
set up on the old campus for students. Moving on to the
academic climate, we would like to see the start of an
inter-disciplinary fraternity, which would be along the lines
of Pi Gamma Mu, only it would encompass the entire disciplines,
and each department would present its ideas. As

I can listen to all the students and be a voice for them.
My personal goal is to become more like Christ and I 'f~el
I can be a witness in being president. Being in that office,
I feel I could touch out to many more lives.
'MO'eller: I'm running because I'd like to provide motivation
and coordination for the Student Senate. I'd like
to give it direction. In terms of the goals we have, we may
ha ve more than a thousand miles to go, but in this next
Senate we could begin taking the next few steps.
ClariO'n: HO'W dO' you feel 'abO'ut the nursing prO'gram
which is being cO'nsidered fO'r Bethel at the present time?
JO'hnsO'n/MO'eller: With a nursing program, it would be
virtually impossible to maintain the balance between male
and female students which we would like to see. Our
problem right now is not how to get more students in,
it's how to deal willi the students we have and at the present
time we do not feel a nursing program ' would be
Clarion: With - the new dean cO'ming, we've heard that
80me O'f the academic requirements may be reviewed sO'on.
How dO' yO'U feel abO'ut the P.E. requirement?
JO'hnsO'n/MO'eller: We think that students ought to have
more opportunity to show their profi Ciency in certain athletic
skills. This may allow some students who are overburdened
already with heavy majors and double-majors to
show their proficiency and thus get the skills that are .
needed for graduation.
We cannot see it as a requirement for g raduation. We
could see it reduced to a half-credit, though, and available
to those students who would like to take courses in it.

Clarion: How do you feel about the substantial enrollment
increases that are now being considered by the admieistration?
Do you feel such increases would effect the
quality of education at Bethel?
Anderson/Barker: We are against any significant increase
in enrollment. Our present facilities can only handle
1,500 students. In the future, with new buildings, we could
have an enrollment of 1,800 and that would be a goal
for Bethel. Right now we're saying, 'alright, hold it. Look
at the situation. Look at the number of teachers you have.'
We feel enrollment should be held to 1,500. Any more money
the school needs should come from areas other than enrollment.
There are a lot of fund raising sources that haven't ....
been investigated. We haven't had students going out and
talking to people in churches. If people could see the kind
of student who comes to Bethel - we really have a great
bunch of kids - they could. quite possibly be interested in
dona ting a lot of money.
Anderson: , feel , could help the
Senate to figure out what could
be done
Right now wel re draining Minneapolis and the churches
around here for money. We need to contact other areas
as well. Perhaps students going home for the summer could
talk to their congregations and pastors and raise money.
Clarion: What single, main project would you like to
accomplish through the Student Association/Student Senate
next year?
Anderson/Barker: We would like to see the standard
of education raised. Incoming students with SAT scores lower
than 500 should be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
If their scores are too low, they should take a written
test to show proficiency in writing. If they don't show proficiency
in that they should take some kind of English
course to improve it. We have learned through many professors
that a lot of kids . in this schQol cannot write. If
kids could be helped in this it would help the faculty,
the school and the standard of education.
We would like to also work in the area of discrimin.
ation in student grants. We've checked in this area and a
student in a sport in order to receive a grant is supposed

to have a 1.65 G.P.A., a student in music is supposed to
have a 2.0 and a student in art has to have a 2.0. This
should not be. Everyone should be on an equal basis.
Next year we would like to see the Student Association
more involved in local projects, instead of donating money
to go off somewhere into the world. In this we would be
demonstrating Christian love in a more practical way. We
\x,:ould like to see Bethel become muce of a force in the Twin
CHies area.
Clarion: We'd like to aslr 'each of you why you'd like
to be elected, in terms of your own personal goals.
Anderson: In my studies, my interests are right in this
area (political science). I feel I could help the Senate to
figure out what could be '. done and how it could be done
the best way.
'Barker: I'm running because I feel women ought to have
a higher input into Bethel college, seeing as we represent
55 percent of the student body. I feel that we have a valuable
voice in this school. Most girls are not getting involved
a.nd I thfuk . it would help to have someone in the vicepresidential
position who ,girls would feel confident to talk to.
Clarion: How do you fe-el about the nursing program
which is being considered for Bethel at the present time!
Amlerson/Barlmr: Right now it's not feasible. We can't
afford another professional program. According to the report
of the Ntirsing Advisory Committee, we would have to hire
7 new instructors, 2 associate professors, one chairperson
and a secretary.
Clarion: With the new dean coming, we've heard that
some of the academic requirements may be reviewed 800n.
How do you feel about the P .E. requirement?
Andel'sonjlBarker: We don't want to see it eliminated
but perhaps limited. The P.E. requirement is important t~

The fact remains, however, as Miss
Brownlee points out, "our budget is sorely
inadequate, leaving no room for expansion."
The approximate five-percent
increase given to women's sports over
last year's budget was an actual cut
in real income, because of the even
higher rate of inflation and rising cost
of living. In spite of an "unpadded"
budget proposal (for women's sports),
the dean's office set the actual budget
for this year about 25 percent below
that. The men's sports budget propos'a}

budget, we'll try to pick it up in another
area, with some (men's) sport
that comes in under its budget," Glader
said. Shirley Dawson, Bethel's track
and field coach for women, has mentioned
that she might appeal to the Student
Senate's general fund for enough money
to carry the track team to the end
of the season. Otherwise, "the girls might
find themselves having to pay for their
own transportation and meals," she said.
Patricia Brownlee, Director of
Women's Athletics
A significant increase-almost tripling
this year's amount - has been tentatively
proposed in the 1975-76 women's sports
budget, said Glader. The question is,
how much of that proposal will be approved?
Glader and Miss Brownlee agreed that
absolute equality in terms of budgets
"Makes no sense." For example, they
said it would be ridiculous to give the
women's volleyball team the same amount
of money as the football team
(both are fall sports), considering the
nature of the equipment needed and number
of students participating in each
sport. "We don't want equality, just a
more realistic approach to the situation,"
Miss Brownlee explained.
Glader stated, "Improving the quality
of our overall sports program is not
possible if we begin to expand our offerings."
The women's needs are being
met with four sports equally as well
as the men's needs are being met with
nine, he said. "However, our present
facilities are inadequate," he continued.
"Right now, we would have no trouble
fully scheduling a second gym for various
activities, if we had one."
Glader also spoke about the rapid development
of ideas in the area of ath-
. letic competition for women. "We have
viewed in the last five years an evolution
of ideas in women's sports that
has taken men 50 years or more to
achieve. For instance, it was just five
years ago that the men's track team
at Bethel acquired official meet uniforms,
but this program began in the early
1940's." Miss Brownlee noted that "people
who ha ve forced the issue ha ve
brought women's sports a long way in
a very short time."
"Given Bethel's resources," Glader
summarized, "I think that we provide
adequate opportunity for high.level competition
in both men's and women's
sports." He also explained that one does
not have to be limited to sports programs
offered by high schools or colleges. "The
logical alternative is to look beyond the
educational institution to outside groups
Gene Glader, Athletic Director
such as the YWCA or YMCA." The
formation of clubs and other semi·formal
sports groups has also added additional
opportunities for meaningful sports com·
petition, he said.
In the face of continuing budget problems,
Miss Brownlee is constantly encouraged
by one thing. "I am happy
most people now realize that a woman
can participate in sports and still be
a lady," she said.

In this time of rampant inflation, increasing unemployment,
and full-scale recession, it is time for people in all
areas of American society to offer constructive ideas concerning
our economy. This point has more validity when we
see the futility of governmental "task forces," and economic
advisors, in initiating successful programs to "get-us-backon-
our-feet." We, as citizens of America, must contribute to
this cause, and those in the sports world are not exceptions.
With this in mind, I offer the following suggestions to
save America, and get her back in a place of international
1) Let's get rid of sports in all areas of American
life. Just think of all the money wasted on sports in our
day. Conservatively speaking, it is a multi-million dollar
business, considering ticket sales, concessions, equipment
costs. Also, look at how athletics rape our educational systems
by diverting attention and funds from intellectual
2) Without sports to throw their money away on, American
people will be able to shoulder a heavier tax burden.
Heavier by 25 percent I would estimate.
3) With this increase in tax money, the government can
upgrade our defense program immeasurably. We can increase
production of nuclear warheads, and bring the Arabs, as well
as the communists, fascists, and hippies to their corporate
4) To those hundreds of thousands of professional athletes,
coaches, ticket sellers, administrators, and gymnasium
janitors out of work, and countless others with no purpose
left in their lives, we can offer new careers. Just think
of the power we would have in the international community
if we doubled our armed forces. We would take grief
from no one!
5) By creating a new military job market, funded by
increased taxes, we would be initiating an effective economic
system that would provide: a) jobs for the unemployed,
b) useful means for spending our money, and c) security.
Maybe this sounds too bizarre for some Americans, but
any program inviting social change has that danger. The
next time you spend $5 on a hockey ticket, think of the
waste of money. Think of how much ammunition that would
buy ....

Let your conscience be a guiding force
JMU students tell the story of post-war Bosnia
By Tyler McAvoy ('13)
Genocide and war are wounds that are cut deep, and never fully heal. Vestiges of the past still bring up vivid, horrible memories for those that survived it, and survivors on both sides of the conflict remain deeply divided, decades after the war is over.
In the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, remnants of genocide and war are all too apparent: Bullet holes riddle the walls of the buildings, shell casings and cut wrist-ties used to bind victims litter the floors and streets. Family homes destroyed by machines of war lay in crumpled piles, abandoned.
In only 11 days in July 1995, over 8,300 Bosnian Muslim men and young boys were slaughtered by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica. The once thriving town that relied on its salt mines and spas became a grave for many. Those who still live around Srebrenica and lost friends and family during the massacre visit the sites they believe to be where their loved ones died.
One group in particular, the Mothers of Srebrenica, visit the killing fields on a bus tour every year to pay their respects to children they lost during the massacre.
This past July, the leader of the group, Hatidza Mehemodovic invited JMU students led by SMAD professor Shaun Wright, to accompany the Mothers of Srebrenica on their annual visit and document their story.
"It was really overwhelming," Wright said of the trip. "It was emotionally charged and emotionally taxing, but everyone wanted to go. It (the documentary) makes you wonder what it would be like to have to do this."
The 6-hour trip is the crux of the documentary film "A Mother's Walk," filmed and produced by JMU students that were on the trip. The film shows genocide's realities and its devastating impact, even 17 years later.
"Future Tense" delves into the lingering division between Bosnian and Serbian youth and the best way to mitigate the divisiveness.
The filmmakers interviewed the youth of Srebrenica to try and understand why the division still exists.
"To an outsider, the societal intricacies of this place are both invisible and incomprehensible," said Peter Jackson ('12) a SMAD major. "[The trip] culminated into a knowledge about how malleable social relations are, how instrumental social institutions like media and politics are in creating and perpetuating divisions, and how stagnating the legacy of war can be within a culture."
For the students working on the films, much of what they came across was hard to see. Alice Nelson ('13) a SMAD major, recounts a particular part of the trip when they stopped at a drainage site: "It was overwhelming when we went to site after site. You could actually pick up the bullet shells that were fired at the victims. People were picking them up and collecting them like candy. I'll definitely never forget those moments."
The students also attended a memorial service held for the victims of the Srebrenica genocide in the nearby town of Potocari. Thousands flock to the memorial in Potocari to pay their respects, and hundreds of identified bodies are given proper burials during the memorial.
"They're still finding victims," Wright said. "The scars of war are everywhere."
Unidentified bodies are found by the hundreds every year, and many people who lost family in the genocide, still don't know the location of the body.
"Mothers were crying over coffins holding fragments, partial body parts of their children and husbands," said Daniel Whelden ('13) a SMAD and Spanish major. "It was devastating but really eye-opening."
This year, 520 were buried during the service. Closure is hard to find for many of the survivors, as questions are still left unanswered from the chaos of the massacre.
"It brings history into the present to see that people are still being found," said Annie Long ('12) SMAD and Spanish major.
For Long, this was more than just a crash course in documentary film making: It was a trip to try and understand the people of Srebrenica and tell their story.
"I didn't want to go just to go or to be able to say that I did so. I didn't want to be a 'genocide tourist'." Long said. "Rather, I wanted to go because these women had a story that they wished for us to share."
The trip to Srebrenica was only a part of a longer trip that took the students through much of Bosnia, including Sarajevo, the country's capital. Here, the students visited with filmmakers, participated in documentary workshops and had the opportunity to talk with journalists that grew up during and in the aftermath of the war.
One journalist in particular struck a chord with Long. Salih Brkic, a war crimes investigative journalist offered her this advice, "Always push one step further and let your conscience be a guiding force. If I am lying, my pictures aren't. If I am lying, my videos aren't."

Question about Rurouni Kenshin
Sorry to make a new thread about this.
But which is the first Rurouni I should start watching? There are so many of them.. And to what point I should watch them? Are there many filler episodes etc. ?

If you want to watch it chronologically, then you should watch Rurouni Kenshin - Tsuiokuhen first and then the TV series. Though I guess there are some advantages to watching the TV series first. Tsuiokuhen will have some spoilers about Kenshin's past, but then if you watch Tsuiokuhen first you'll get to see how Kenshin has changed and have more an understanding of his past. It's up to you. I've never watched the second OVA which takes place after the TV series because I've heard really horrible things about it.
Because the television series came out before the manga was finished, everything after episode 62 is filler.

I didn't really mean to suggest either way. Personally, I watched the TV series first, fillers and all, then saw Tsuiokuhen, and sometime later read the manga. I enjoyed that viewing order well enough.
If you've seen Trigun, I think watching Tsuiokuhen first would be like watching the flashback episodes at the beginning of Trigun, rather than towards the end. The character will likely lose some of his mysteriousness. That's the trade off; there are still the advantages I mentioned earlier.

The second ova (reflection?) is kinda recap of the whole Kenshin saga, starting when Kenshin met Kaoru till the end.. It follows the manga closely and it even goes further! and it contain, afaik, non of the filler stories. It's a must watch for Kenshin fans. There are some changes, but I think the changes are quite good. And unlike the manga/tv, reflection is serious. You should see this after you watch the tv series/manga.
Relfection is about a series of events surrounding Kenshin, told trough Kaoru point of view.
There is a Kenshin movie, Requiem something... It's a good watch, just don't expect great things. The story lies in the middle of the Kenshin story.

TV series should be watched first - 1st and 2nd arc (up to episode 62) in order to appreciate more of prequel ova, imo. Don't bother 3rd arc (63 to 94), they are all nonsense fillers >.< especially feng shui part.
Then next sequel ova... dun noe about movie as I didn't watch it. but I heard it is a side story so basically same as those epi 63 to 94

Yeah unfortunatley Kenshin-TV is one of the rare series to get cancelled because fans hated the filler story (me included)...I can only imagine how good the story would have become had it been orginal story following the incredible Shi-Shi-o arc...I actually watched Samurai X first before I even knew about the series which serves as a weird precursor given how blood-thirsty Kenshin was...However I don't think watching the TV series first would be a regrettable thing...

I personally watched the first 2 seasons before watching the first OVA (Tsuiokuhen). I find that can't be motivated to watch the series again, it just can't hold a candle to Tsuiokuhen. I'm not sure which order I'd advise, but if you watch Tsuiokuhen first, you'll probably end up disappointed by the series.

The ending really don't change a lot. It just goes further... maybe almost 10 years further. But indeed the tone of the series were changed. I think it's still about redemption, but other may say it's a punishment. If I'm not mistaken, it ended with a smile.

Emily Ratajkowski — Celeb Crush
Even though she's just 21 years old, Emily Ratajkowski could write a book about how to effortlessly transform yourself from an anonymous beauty into a budding supermodel. The London-born Ratajkowski has gone from an unknown face in ads for Forever 21 and Nordstrom to appearing in major magazines and music videos.
Though she was raised in Encinitas, Calif., Ratajkowski spent a great deal of time overseas in Ireland and Spain while growing up. She studied fine art at UCLA, but left the program after one year to concentrate on modeling. Since then, Ratajkowski has been featured in a hot Carl's Jr. commercial with Sara Jean Underwood and starred in music videos for Robin Thicke and Maroon 5. Ratajkowski was the girl that captured the attention of Adam Levine in the just-released video for the band's song 'Love Somebody.'

In the forests of Oz, it was the lions, tigers and bears that worried Dorothy, Toto and their friends. In the world of beer, a different dangerous trio lies hidden inside — dubbels and tripels and quadrupels, oh my.
Some might say that these are the original extreme beers.
Beer lore has it that these Belgian beers are ancient, originally brewed by Trappist monks, who made them as strong as liquid bread to get them through the 40 days of Lent without solid food. Another theory holds that in the days when illiteracy was common, kegs of beer were marked X, XX and XXX to denote their strength. While there is, pardon the pun, a grain of truth to those stories, they're mostly just that: stories.
Today, dubbels and tripels couldn't be less alike. In fact, tripels are a relatively modern invention, brewed by the monks of Westmalle in 1931 and first sold to the public in 1934.
Quadrupels, or quads, are even more recent — first brewed in 1991 by the Brewery De Koningshoeven in the Netherlands, one of the Trappist breweries that's not in Belgium, under the name La Trappe Quadrupel. Originally brewed as a winter seasonal, the beer's popularity led them to make it a year-round beer. Other breweries, both in Europe and the United States, took notice and began producing their own quads.
Essentially, both of these types of beer were invented for marketing reasons and are not part of a historic lineage in any meaningful way.
The singel
Many breweries produced beers of varying strengths, of course. There used to be a singel, or single, too. Actually, many breweries still make one, but it's usually not sold commercially. Instead, it's served as a table beer for the monks, available in limited supply only at the brewery or locally.
Other names for these beers include enkel (Dutch for single) or patersbier ("father's beer"). If you visit Orval, you can order the Orval Vert (sometimes called Petite Orval) at their cafe, A l'Ange Gardien. It's delicious. One of the few available by the bottle is Brewery Slaghmuylder's Witkap Pater Abbay Single Ale.
Even dubbels are fairly recent, likely first brewed about 1856 at Westmalle. That's the year they started making a dark beer. But the recipe was modified in 1926, and that's the one they started selling to the public under the name "Dubbel." So really, this quartet of beers is less than 100 years old, and one is not quite 25.
The new trinity
Fanciful tales abound: The monks made three beers to honor the Christian trinity; or they used two or three times the malt; or double- or triple-fermented. Hogwash.
Generally, these beers do get progressively stronger. Singels are the lowest in alcohol and quads the highest, but even that only holds true within an individual brewery. Even their color doesn't get progressively darker. Dubbels are usually darker than either tripels or quads. But here's what we can say:
Dubbels are usually brown or darker, 6 to 7.5 percent alcohol by volume (a.b.v.) and thick, pillowy heads. Flavors include malty sweetness and caramel, with fruit notes, light spiciness and very little hop character. The finish is often very dry.
Some dubbels to try include Westmalle Dubbel, Chimay Premiere (Red), St. Bernardus Prior 8, Moinette Brune by Brasserie Dupont and Ommegang Abbey. For local examples, try Sante Adairius' Quality Of Life, Russian River's Benediction, The Lost Abbey's Lost & Found Abbey Ale, Sierra Nevada's Ovila Abbey Dubbel, Anderson Valley's Brother David's Double, and Ale Asylum's Diablo.
Tripels to try
Tripels can be quite pale, usually no darker than amber, with a dense, mousse-like head but are 7 to 10 percent (a.b.v.). They're usually bottle-conditioned, and so are a little hazy from the yeast. Be careful not to rouse the bottle when pouring. Flavors are a mélange of soft malt and sweet alcohol, with light spicy and fruity notes, a bubbly effervescence and a sweet, dry finish.
Tripels to try include the original one from Westmalle, along with Tripel Karmeliet from Brouwerij Bosteels, Chimay Tripel (White), Gouden Carolus Tripel from Brouwerij Het Anker, Scaldis Blonde Ale Tripel from Brasserie Dubuisson (or their Cuvee des Trolls), Allagash Tripel Ale (or their Bourbon-barrel aged version, Curieux), Unibroue's La Fin Du Monde and Pretty Things' wonderfully named Fluffy White Rabbits. A relatively unknown tripel, though one of my personal favorites, is the Arend Tripel from Brouwerij De Ryck. Locally, try Russian River Damnation or Sante Adairius' Always In Life.
Quadrupels are the strongest, at 9 to 14 percent a.b.v., and they range from amber to deep brown in color. Some "grand cru" beers could fall into this category as well. Quadrupels are intensely sweet with brown sugar and caramel flavors and low, if any, in bitterness. Complex aromas of dark fruit and spices give way to a full, creamy body with strong alcoholic character and intense malty sweet flavors.
Try the first one I mentioned, La Trappe Quadrupel. Also keep an eye out for Rochefort 10, Pannepot by De Struise Brouwers, Ommegang Three Philosophers and Allagash Four. Here in the Bay Area, look for Sierra Nevada's Ovila Abbey Quad, Lost Abbey's Judgment Day, and Firestone Walker's new Stickee Monkee.
Because of their strength, all three types are sipping beers, which should be shared. Enjoy them with dessert or on their own as an aperitif or digestif.

text: Three Biotechnology Scientists Awarded 2013 World Food Prize June 20, 2013 03:48 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email This year's recipients independently developed the science of modern plant biotechnology. SOURCE: The World Food Prize Three scientists — Marc Van Montagu of Belgium, and Mary-Dell Chilton and Robert T. Fraley of the United States — have been named the winners of the 2013 World Food Prize. "Hunger is a trap that prevents people from realizing their God-given potential," Secretary of State John Kerry said during a ceremony at the U.S. State Department. "Food drives life. And the struggle for food is a struggle for life. This makes hunger an economic issue, a national security issue – and without a doubt a moral issue. Through innovation, we can help alleviate hunger and malnutrition today – but more than that, we can help fulfill our responsibility to tomorrow." Montagu, founder and chairman of the Institute of Plant Biotechnology Outreach at Ghent University in Belgium; Chilton, founder and distinguished fellow of Syngenta Biotechnology; and Fraley, executive vice president and chief technology officer for Monsanto, were recognized for their molecular research on how a plant bacterium could be adapted as a tool to insert genes from another organism into plant cells, which could produce new genetic lines with highly favorable traits. "As a farm boy and scientist who has spent his entire life and career working in agriculture, it is incredibly gratifying that billions of acres of crops have been planted by tens of millions of farmers around the world that have benefitted from our research in advanced molecular breeding and biotechnology methods," Fraley said. "I really believe we have just scratched the surface on what is possible in bringing innovation to farmers who deliver food security to consumers around the world." The scientists' work led to the development of a host of genetically enhanced crops, which, by 2012, were grown on more than 170 million hectares around the globe by 17.3 million farmers, over 90% of whom were small, resource-poor farmers in developing countries. "These three scientists are being recognized for their independent, individual breakthrough achievements in founding, developing and applying modern agricultural biotechnology," said Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, president of the World Food Prize. "Their research is making it possible for farmers to grow crops with improved yields, resistance to insects and disease, and the ability to tolerate extreme variations in climate." From their work in the laboratory to applying biotechnology innovations in farmers' fields, the combined achievements of the 2013 World Food Prize Laureates have contributed significantly to increasing the quantity and availability of food. "It is gratifying that our work, which started as curiosity-driven fundamental research, has now found worldwide application in agriculture with the promise of benefitting all mankind," Chilton said. Estimates show the global population growing to 9 billion by 2050. Currently, 870 million, or 1 in 8 people, are hungry. Scientific advancements will play a critical role as we face the global challenges of the 21st century of producing more food in a sustainable way, while confronting an increasingly volatile climate, Quinn said. "We have a great responsibility to continue to move science forward and to utilize it in the best ways possible to nourish mankind, especially those who are suffering every day," Quinn said. "There is still a long way to go to before this technology is fully established to produce the orphan crops and varieties essential to the food security of smallholder farmers in less developed countries," Montagu added. "I hope that this recognition will pave the way for Europe to embrace the benefits of this technology, an essential condition for global acceptance of transgenic plants." Montagu, Chilton and Fraley will be formally awarded the World Food Prize at the 27th Annual Laureate Award Ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol on Oct. 17, in conjunction with the Borlaug Dialogue international symposium in Des Moines, Iowa. Also in October, the World Food Prize Foundation will begin the yearlong Borlaug Centennial Observance, honoring the 100th anniversary of the birth of Norman Borlaug, founder of the World Food Prize and known as the "Father of the Green Revolution."

No, Getting Your Music Played On The Radio Is Nothing Like Slavery
from the want-to-try-that-again? dept
We thought things had reached a new low four years ago when Rep. John Conyers sponsored one of these bills and insisted that radio stations playing musicians' music was the equivalent of slavery. Apparently, the RIAA liked that line so much it fed it to a different Congressional Rep. this year. RIAA darlings Jerry Nadler, Marsha Blackburn and Ted Deutch have joined Conyers in releasing the latest version of a performance rights act, this time called the "Fair Play, Fair Pay Act of 2015" and the RIAA's spin doctors somehow decided that having Rep. Nadler use the slavery line was a good idea:
Previously, radio complained about the economy, asserting that they simply couldn't afford to pay performers. But as far as the radio industry is concerned, "it's never the right time," Nadler said. "What other industry says, ' We can't afford to pay our workers; We want them to work for free,'" he cracked. "We got rid of that argument here in the U.S. in 1865," referencing the abolition of slavery legislated by the 13th Amendment.I'm sorry, but in no possible way is promoting someone's music on the radio the equivalent of slavery. To say so is not just insulting and offensive, but it's ridiculous. You can argue about the appropriateness of royalties, compulsory rates or anything else -- but to argue that getting played on the radio without direct compensation (despite all the indirect compensation) to slavery is just flat out ridiculous. Nadler doesn't get paid each time he goes on TV to talk about whatever bill he's supporting, does he? Is that slavery? No, it's promotional, just like music being played on the radio.
Just the fact that Nadler has to resort to this silly and tired argument again, despite it flopping five years ago, should tell you all you need to know about this weak attempt by the RIAA to squeeze out more money without doing anything different.

I had a quick BrikWars earlier, but don't have the best camera, or a tri-pod, so I'm only posting the more entertaining parts.
Here's the set-up. On top are the attackers, with the base they're attacking on the bottom.
Here we have the sailor crashing his ATV into the side of a car, destroying half of it.
After the car was totalled, the sailor tackled the guy on top. Neither took damage, but when the driver shot the sailor, he got overkill and shot right through the sailor's head into his buddy's.
A Nega-Blokian gunner crit-failed and fell backwards into a computer. The computer shorted out, electrifying the sap.
An Octan worker tried to attack an ADU guy. but got blown up. The blast tore off a chunk of two buildings.
The last kill, ADU guy crammed five grenades into a bazooka and fired them all at pilot guy at the same time. He face-planted into the bar after being blown up from the back.
An Overwatch of the carnage. The ADU guy was the last survivor and the defenders won. The ADU guy himself was really lucky, in that he exploded three times and was shot, but still won. Unfortunately, the pics of that weren't very cool, so I scrapped 'em.

Sept. 29, 2006
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Brown's water polo team came out strong in Thursday night's Collegiate Water Polo Association Northern Division contest against MIT, staking itself to a 5-2 lead at the end of one quarter. It was an advantage that the Bears (7-5; 2-0) would never relinquish, holding off the Engineers (5-10; 0-1) for an eventual 11-5 victory. The loss opened MIT's CWPA Northern Division schedule for the 2006 campaign.
The young Tech squad struggled to break down Brown's stingy zone defense, often being forced to take shots from long distance which Bears goalkeeper Kent Holland dealt with effectively.
"We could not break their defense and that hurt us," said MIT head coach Felix Mercado. "I definitely feel that we got out-coached today," he added.
Freshman Devin Lewis was once again impressive despite the loss, notching three goals to take his tally up to 22 on the season, good for second on the team behind only sophomore Mike Smith Bronstein's 25. Tech's other goals were scored by senior Phil Cassel and freshman Rob Kalwarowsky.
The Cardinal and Gray received solid goaltending from both freshman Nick Souza (eight saves) and junior Rob Truax (four saves).
The Engineers return to action almost immediately, playing a trio of games at home this upcoming weekend. Tech takes on Queens College at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30, before matching up with both St. Francis College of New York (11:00 a.m.) and Connecticut College (2:00 p.m.) on Sunday, Oct. 1.

Higher education institutions today face financial challenges that threaten to diminish their potential for long-term success and continued organizational growth. However, feeling the pressure of strained finances should never distract higher education institutions from their core purposes, aspirations and customers' needs.
The shared services model can contribute to a stronger financial footing, a greater ability for higher educational institutions to meet their missions and, ultimately, new efficiencies. But while the model is only just beginning to make headway in the area of academia, it has already built a convincing and growing track record of its effectiveness in reducing costs, developing new cohesion within universities, and refocusing attention on colleges' and universities' fundamental purpose of quality education and research.
This Accenture point of view explores the growing movement toward shared services within higher education, including how the model fits within the unique mission and attributes of the higher education environment.

Tornado Cleanup and Response
NIOSH offers informational resources for minimizing risks of work-related injury or illness from recovery activities, including disaster site management, electrical hazards, stress and fatigue, and other issues.
Tornado cleanup activities can be hazardous. Emergency-response directors and supervisors should be aware of the potential dangers involved, and should establish and enforce proper safety programs. Injuries and illnesses in the line of duty are preventable. Workers and volunteers involved with tornado cleanup should be aware of the potential dangers involved, and the proper safety precautions. Work-related hazards that could be encountered include: electrical hazards, carbon monoxide exposures, musculoskeletal hazards, heat stress, motor vehicle and large machinery accidents, hazardous materials, fire, confined spaces and falls. Links to information about hazards associated with tornadoes and other natural disaster cleanup can be found below. This information is intended to help employers and workers prepare in advance for anticipated response activities, and to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses in the field once rescue, recovery, and clean-up begin.

VATICAN CITY — The ripple effect of labor unrest in Israel includes the cancellation of a meeting between Israeli religious leaders and Pope Benedict XVI.
Members of the Council of Religious Community Leaders in Israel, a group that works closely with Israel's Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Israel's Interior Ministry, were supposed to travel to Rome and meet with Pope Benedict next Thursday, Jan. 13. But Passionist Father Ciro Benedettini, vice director of the Vatican press office, said today the meeting has been postponed indefinitely because of the strikes in Israel.
Staffers at Israel's foreign ministry have engaged in a work slowdown to protest low wages. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced Tuesday that he was cancelling a trip to Israel after the Israeli government said the foreign ministry staffers' protest meant the country could not prepare Medvedev's visit.
The Council of Religious Community Leaders in Israel includes the two chief rabbis of Israel, local leaders of a number of Christian churches, the head of the Druze community, the head of the Islamic Appeals Court, and leaders of other communities including the Bahai, Ahmadis and Samaritans.
Many of the leaders who were expected in Rome participated in a meeting with Pope Benedict in Jerusalem in May 2009 — a meeting that ended rather abruptly when one of the Muslim representatives used the occasion to publicly criticize Israel. Some of the same leaders also attended a much calmer meeting with the pope in Nazareth a few days later.

Talk:Scuba diving
Scuba diving dedicated site
I based myself on the wikitravel model to start a wiki (using mediawiki as well) dedicated to listing diving sites around the world and information pertinent to scuba diver. I'm posting this here hoping there may be people here interested in getting involved in that project as well. I've only been playing around for now (copying pages from wikitravel and modifing them), trying to learn how to set-up the wiki. If anyone is interested, you could leave me a message on this talk page. An e-mail through this wiki would work as well. --Charles
It's not spam, you haven't even posted the link (and you're welcome to do so!). While I see what you're getting at, as an avid diver myself I'd prefer to keep the info in one place -- no matter how hardcore a diver you are, you still need to get a taxi from the airport and find places to eat, drink and sleep, which is squarely in Wikitravel territory. Why not a "Diving portal" inside Wikitravel that provides a dive-oriented entry point?
Also, the whole classification tree thing is quite new and we're still working out how to classify non-destination articles, so don't worry about that just yet -- see Wikitravel:RDF for some discussion if interested. Jpatokal 06:47, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)

An anonymous user re-added the external links section to this page. The now-removed links might be useful for research or for re-incorporation into the article:

So this is a big article and it covers a few different things. What should we do about it? Hypatia 22:01, 1 June 2006 (EDT)
Sea sickness
We need to double-check the brand names. I've never seen something called dramamine in Australia, and it's not usually those chemicals listed at the moment either. Hypatia 19:18, 23 July 2006 (EDT)

List of destinations
One of the criticisms from the Star nomination was that "I think the index of scuba destinations up front needs a lot more work — it should cover all the biggies and give nutshell summaries..." (comment by Jpatokal 09:40, 27 July 2006 (EDT)). I'm of the opinion that two things need to happen here:
Asia already has an enormous list of destinations — 20 at my count — and while as a relatively untravelled diver I do recognise most of them, I'm not sure that Asian diving merits an exception to the 7±2 rule. So, my idea is:
