I'm pretty sure there are many people here with a good amount of friends, and that's cool and all
But I want to learn more about the loners here, and since there are 2 anti gender threads, it only makes sense to have an anti people thread as well.
How long have you been a loner?
Did you give up on people?
if so, why?
What do you generally dislike about them
How well does it suit you?
As a child I had very few friends and the few I had were questionable, I grew up looking white in a black neighborhood in the south, I was quite lonely back then and quite sad and at the time was despeerate for friends, to the point that I'd be overjoyed everytime someone offered to hang out with me, even when they were just using me as something to keep them busy before their real friends arrived and I'd be cast to the side, or lead into a group of kids so they could make fun of me, or worse.....
As I got a little older I became disgusted at what I was, a weak minded sycophant basically, so I quickly realized that people in general were fake and untrustworthy, and that I didn't need or want them hanging around me.
Today, I can say that I have never had a real friend, and that I keep myself guarded and on alert for liars and sluts and potential back stabbers, I trust the intention of a person trying to kill me more then that of a person who walks up to me with a smile on their face, at least then I can counteract those intentions with a proper response easily, as I like to say.......
"you can't get stabbed in the back if there's no one behind you"
im quiet when i was little..
i dont talk that much and im not that "get along" with others...
let just say i dont express my feeling much.
my pre-k teacher asked my mom if im always like that...
but now as im getting older.. im really trying to communicate with other people...
but sometimes i like to hang out with myself..
EDIT: i guess being a loner is fun...
Kpop is love <3
I tend to be a loner..
Not much fun.
I believes there are ups and downs to being a loner and to being a friendly person. I'm a little bit of both myself.
Being an only child, I've been constantly by myself my whole entire life. It didn't help I used to be shy. But then, I found friendship and changed. But still, I take pleasure in being alone and distant every once in a while.
Sometimes for months I won't answer phone calls from friends just because I feel at peace with my loneliness. At the same time, I yearn for friendship and closure of my friends. I love my friends dearly, since I never had brothers or sisters, I think of my best friends as my brothers or sisters. They're that important to me. Loneliness is really bittersweet.
Hmm...I wouldn't have consider myself as a loner. But, I was quite lonely. =P
These past few school years, since I went into middle school, we meet new people that we've never seen before, so it's harder to make friends. I was always quiet and shy, afraid to say the wrong thing. I didn't hate anyone, I was just too shy.
If anyone came up to me and talked to me, I'd be pretty quiet, unless it was someone who I shared similar likes and personality with.
It's like I had two totally different personalities. If I was around people I wasn't comfortable with, I'd be totally quiet and reserved. If I knew this person, or she/he was my good friend, I'd be free to express myself, crazy, and random. =]
It just depends on the people I'm interacting with. =]
most likely marathoning a show on netflix....
Well, Im not much of a loner, Growing up as an only child I had alot of friends and played with myself quite a bit. Frequently I would go out but I began to grow tired and I remember it was somewhat fun being alone in the past. Im not much of a loner, I choose to be alone at times. My personality changed and I look like I've gone emo, well, that is what others say, but I like to keep things to myself and be alone alot.
add a status message
I was quiet as a kid. And I'm quiet now too. I get lonely, but I like being by myself sometimes.
I have two or three really close friends, but other than that I'm a loner. I never really talk much; even when I'm home I usually don't say a word unless someone starts to talk with me first.
Busy elsewhere.
i don't believe anyone is truely lonely. if you look around you there are plenty of people who cares. Besides, being lonely is a choice, so that leaves the possible to change. Also, loving "me time" doesn't nessarily mean yours a loner and whatnot.
In life you have 3 chances to change yourself drastically w/o the consequences and ppl going wtf... 1) going into highschool 2) going into college 3) starting your career after graduation
"Some people like to be alone, yet are not loners. Some people are surrounded by people, but are loners."
Sure, there are definitely good and bad friends. Good friends will give you advice, help and support as you go through your life just as your family pushes you to succeed. They would care for you as you should care for them. Even if they run or back stab you, they're still your friends. Unless you really hate their guts. Just like me, I used to have some nice friends who started smoking crack and doing other drugs such as smoking. I don't consider them as real friends since I don't hang out with them. But as just buddies and acquaintances to one another.
No one can be trusted until you trust them. It's hard to trust someone, but as time flows, you get to know your friends better. Everyone laughs at jokes even though they're corny. They envy one another, doing they're best to succeed one another while still cheering on each other in different ways. Having friends is great. They're fun and enjoyable as you make good friends. Don't hang out with those if you feel unwelcome. Just leave and find somebody. It's just like high school, a first impression is always good. Make good choices where you and your friends depend on one another. A group of survivors going against zombies has a better chance of survival than a person soloing zombies..
Well, enough of my senseless rambling. I will leave it to you, the one who should decide to make good choices.
wow Im never on :P
When I think about it, I really see the point in that it's really hard to find people who you can be good friends with. I used to a gajillion of friends back in elementary school (yah, i jus said gajillion) i'd say nearly 1/3 of them have turned into warped personas of who they used to be.

Wow, somebody made me use a dictionary….. -_-…my pride. : - (
Anyway, looking past my inflated ego, I too am a loner. I think the "I've given up on people," is a mellow dramatic and emo thing to say. Stop trying to make people feel sorry for you martyrs (you know who you are!), it just makes them hate you even more.
Still, social activities are like umbrage for me. I abhor crowds and because of my overly opinionated and outspoken views I have trouble with serious conversations with most people. (Mind you I'm fine if they disagree, but most people aren't fine if I disagree. Simply put, they start throwing a tantrum.)
This being said there are a few people out there I like. I think most (especially here in America) are dotards, handy-tards, idiots, and bigots. Either ignorant, stupid, or mentally challenged. Which is kind of the same thing as stupid, except with an excuse.
Well, mostly I am a loner because I lack social skills and am thus awkward and out of place amongst groups. I have a lot of trouble talking to one person at a time. I've made speeches at my school and this does not bother me. However, this being said, I have a slight phobia for one-on-one conversations with my peers.
This obviously originated for the fact that I myself was once a complete moron. I swear I was mentally retarded. Rather by some medical supper-feat or divine intervention I was miraculously healed, and promptly became an arrogant and pompous jerk. Ah, brutal honesty, like when I call women who abortions murderers! They don't like that! XD
Basically I have nothing against people as a race, because Human nature is very…vague. In the end generalizations are only good for statistical charts, because individuality beats out stereotypes in nearly all cases. In my opinion.
None the less, I dislike the common person I meat, and have no interest in socializing with many others. Even if I did have an extroversive impulse I would not be able to act on it because I have no friends as a result of my attitude and bla-bla-bla. Which is fine. I'm happy surrounded by knowledge, my God, (I'm religious, and I could care less if you got a problem with it.) anime, and literature. I love the cathartic release of poetry, the creative stimulation of fiction, and the enlightening information of nonfiction.
Basically, my interests are in things that involved one party. I am not bitter with the world, I don't care that I was an outcast (though I acknowledge this was most likely the heaviest influence on my current introversive personality) I just enjoy being alone. That simple.

woah how long did it take to write all that XD im a loner for the most part
About a minute...

Favorite bar?
Post general kiteboarding discussion topics here!
Moderator: BayAreaKite
Favorite bar?
Wondering what everyone's favorite bar is (past, present, future?) and why?
I like the "Eject" chicken loop quick release on the WW B-Safe bar. I think it's funny that it says "Eject" on it in large letters.
Every time I have had to ditch my kite, a voice in my head goes "EJECT, EJECT!".
It is very easy to find with your hand when you are underwater or flying through the air, and you don't have to look at it to activate it.
I like my other bar, a Powerlock, but the chicken loop QR is ridiculously small and not intuitive at all to use. I do wonder why other companies don't sheath their chicken loops though, as it seems like this is an easy way to prevent wear and reduce or eliminate the possibilty of the CL breaking during use.
I also prefer the Cabrinha style sheet strap to the WW/SS camcleat, although I'm sure each one has it's supporters. For me, doing minute adjustments with the Clamcleat takes way too much care. I use the sheet strap alot, changing the sheeting each time I tack to compensate for the wind/wave direction. WIth the Camcleat I just leave in a compromise position and use the sheeting on the bar.
So Paul your WW bar is okay now?? I like the idea of the cc bar, but I'm getting nervous every time I take it out. The line is already looking frayed, and the pulleys are starting to make noise. If it would spin better then it would be the bomb. I like the cleat. I've always liked it.
The Slingshot bars are killer - simple, straightforward and problem-free. No twists, excellent when used with the SS Surefire spreader bar for spinning leash. The clamcleat sheeting is simple and overall it's pretty bomber.
WW CC bars are nice for fatigue-free riding, and work best with a separate spinning leash, such as the SS Surefire. Expect increased maintenance because of the pulleys and subsequent wear on the sheeting line. Great for long sessions. Also uses a clamcleat sheeting system, which I like and prefer over strap-type sheeting systems, which can be sticky, just like your harness straps. They work best when thoroughly wet.
One thing I don't like is the common setup of the leash being attached to many kites above the chicken loop release. If you come unhooked and let go of your bar, the kite's gone. I prefer having the leash attached to your spreader bar or harness, and it needs to be spinnable as well, so the ideal solution involves something like the SS Surefire or Naish UDS. Lots of manufacturers could use help in this department from what I've noticed.
Point out other good solutions I don't know of...
I have a Naish basic bar and Cabrinha 05 Recon 2 bar. As I have shorter arms than most people, I have to adjust center lines otherwise I can't even reach my bar when sheeting out. My Naish bar barely has sheeting length in order for me to keep comfortable zone on my arms when I ride. But as it doesn't have any spinning attachment, when I try invert, center lines would twist each time I roll, so is safety leash. Recon 2 has its own system for the kite but I don't even use the system. What was worse, lock-in system isn't very friendly when I ride. It always locks out when I want to lock in. I think 04 bar is much better. Again I had to shorten the sheeting so that I can reach a bar when sheeting out. When I demo North kites, I really like their 5th element bar. They have nice lock-in system, plus I was very comfortable on my arms without adjusting it at all. I also liked their primary release system. I think my ideal bar set-up would be either 5th element or the combination of Cabrinha 04 bar power-lock with North primary release (chicken loop). I would also like to hear someone uses Slingshot Profire carbon bar. Does the stopper ball bother you or is it just fine?
I am still researching to find my perfect bar too. Thanks.
Airush ñ the components are top quality. I actually replaced component of other bars with airush components because they are just nicer and work better. The quick releases I don't like that much, you need a lot of force to pull them.
Flysurfer ñ live up to their name in quality. Out of the fact that they are top manufacturing and look like $M, they are tested by the same guys that test the aviation equipment. I just trust them more.
Spinning leash on these bars is a nice and simple design, the leash is not on the chicken loop so you can fly unhooked and hook again and always be on the leash. Works with every spreader bar, No special spreader bars required thanks god.
Problem is that the stock bars are sometimes short and you have to replace them.
Unfortunately you cannot use those bars with inflateables, it's a three line kite bar with its own safety. May work with recon kites.
Sligshot ñ I like the little tube that protects the fingers from the depower line.
Don't like:
Naish ñ low quality, sheeting is too short and looks poor. The UDS bar looks like someone hacked it at home from stuff you buy at Home Depot.
Cabrinha ñ the older bars have the quality of Naish bars. The new bars are complicated.
Don't know ñ RRD, but will know soon
Ya I still love to ride my old 2003 Cabrinha bars.... simple, solid and the powerlock works like a charm. Saves a lot of energy not having to hold the bar in all the time.
But I do agree with Pablito, the chicken loop QR is way too small to find in a hurry. But the chicken loop sheathing does work wonders... I have a couple of 03 bars that have been worked hard and other than sun fading look like they are brand new.

Zines on the Airwaves
Posted by Josh Jubinsky on March 4, 2010
Last Thursday, Alan Justiss and Shelton Hull were on the local 89.9 radio station to talk about Much Ado About Books and the Zine Collection. They represented the library and zine collection amazingly – thanks guys!
Listen or download from the link below. The discussion turns to the Library and zine around 32:50.

I had the opportunity in 2008, maybe the bad fortune, to attend a number of agricultural meetings in which financial experts made observations and predictions about the economy — both for agriculture and U.S. industry in general.
I remember one meeting at Clemson University early in 2008 at which one of the most highly sought after agricultural economists in the country attested, "We are not in a recession and are not headed into a recession."
Evidently, some folks in the financial community neglected to read that script. Or, maybe financial forecasting is the one recession-proof industry. Sometimes it's hard to know who "we" are.
Perhaps the best financial observations I heard in 2008 came from Andy Lowrey. Southern as a butterbean and sharp as a tack, Lowery quipped, "there are two kinds of economists who are making financial forecasts these days — those who don't know and those who don't know they don't know."
Lowery, who in addition to being a very entertaining speaker, is President of AgFirst Farm Credit Bank in Columbia, S.C. says the scariest thing he knows about today's financial woes is that the center of the financial universe going into 2009 is in Washington D.C.
Two messages that were consistent over the financial presentations I heard in 2008 are 1) agriculture is not in as bad a financial situation as other segments of the economy and 2) farmers who benefitted from good crops and good prices in 2007 and 2008 took steps to strengthen their long-term financial situation.
I believe both of those assessments to be true. Most growers I talked to complained about having to spend more money to grow a crop, but not about the availability of money.
Going into 2009, it appears farmers with a good record of success and a history of profitability will have little problem financing a crop. Money for short-term items like seed and fertilizer appears to be readily available. Money for long-term investments in equipment and land appear to be less available.
Dave Downey, a long-time Purdue University agricultural economist, perhaps has the best outlook for the future of farming. He points out that the world population continues to grow, but more importantly the world middle class continues to grow.
As the middle class grows, so grows the demand for high quality food and fiber. Where is the world's highest quality food and fiber grown? Much of the best grain, cotton, tobacco and peanuts is grown in the U.S.
Those folks in the 'center of the financial universe' would be wise to keep America's food and fiber producing potential in mind when making financial decisions that ultimately filter down to all segments of the economy, including agriculture.
We in the United States of America will subsidize food — that's a given for any developed country in the world. The question is where will the subsidies go?
If the bailout — to use a popular 2008 buzzword, goes to the financial institutions that finance agriculture or to the grain, seed and fiber merchants who buy agricultural crops, more and more U. S. farmers may see little incentive to continue taking the high financial risks and working long hours to achieve little financial gain.
I'm all for Ford and General Motors to continue to produce cars. I'm even hopeful that financial institutions, like Lehman Brothers, can make a comeback. I'm all for all segments of the U.S. economy to do well.
But, at the end of the day's work, when I come downstairs from a hard day slaving over an ornery computer and trying to make something readable out of the English language, it's not a car ride or a loan I'm hungry for — it's FOOD.
I'm a long way from smart enough to figure out how to insure our food supply, but I am sure a good way to start would be to make our farmers more profitable and to convince the older ones to stay in it and make financial conditions more conducive for new ones to get into farming.

President Obama to visit Asheville after State of Union
President Obama to visit Asheville after State of Union
President Barack Obama will travel to two Southern states after his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
It's a tradition for presidents to launch a post-speech tour to pitch their proposals to the public.
A stop in Asheville, N.C., on Wednesday will be followed by a visit Thursday to Atlanta.
The White House hasn't said what Obama will do in either city. But in recent weeks Obama has left Washington to rally the public behind his plans for immigration reform and gun control.
Both Georgia and North Carolina were among the states Obama lost in November's election.

Nashville, Tenn. - Tennessee State's volleyball match against Jacksonville State on Saturday, Oct. 6 has been moved to an 11 a.m. start time. The decision to move the game up three hours was made due to the possibility of heavy football traffic.
The time change will not affect the team's match against Tennessee Tech which will still take place at home on Oct. 5 at the regularly scheduled time of 7 p.m.
The Tigers are coming off of a week that saw them win a pair of OVC contests and improve their overall record to 8-8.
Sophomore outside hitter Rachel Ambroch was named OVC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying 34 kills in two matches. She also led the Tigers with a .778 hitting percentage in the 3-0 victory over Eastern Illinois.
She and sophomore outside hitter Naomi Wells have been terrific on the offensive end all season. They have a combined 331 kills and Wells is currently second in the OVC with 4.11 points per set.
Junior setter Erika Moss also won a conference award for her play last week as the OVC tabbed her as its Setter of the Week. In two matches, she compiled 85 assists and tied her season high in assists with 49 against Belmont. She is now averaging 9.11 assists per set which is one of the best averages in the conference.
Defensively, senior libero Britani Hathorn has led TSU all year and now has 213 digs in 16 matches. She had 22 digs in the win at Belmont followed by 15 versus EIU. Her 3.74 digs per set average currently ranks her eighth in the OVC.
Tennessee Tech limps into Friday's match sporting a 2-14 overall record and having yet to win a conference match. Last week, the Golden Eagles lost to Jacksonville State, 0-3, and dropped a heartbreaking 2-3 home contest to UT Martin.
Currently, TTU is at the bottom of the OVC in hitting percentage, assists per set and kills per set. However, the team is second in the conference in blocks per set with 2.33. Most of the team's blocks come from six-foot-two senior Kelsey Gray whose average of 1.25 per set rank second in the conference.
In Saturday's showcase, TSU will take on 9-9 Jacksonville State. JSU is coming off of a 1-1 week that included a straight set victory over Tennessee Tech and a straight set home loss to Southeast Missouri State. The loss to SEMO was the Gamecock's first conference loss of the season.
The key player for Jacksonville State is senior Jen Meyer who is the team leader in kills with 167. She is also fourth in the OVC with a .292 hitting percentage in the 65 sets she has played this season.
The Tigers will look to improve to 5-1 in conference play when they take on Tennessee Tech on Friday night before hosting Jacksonville at 11 a.m. on the following day.

Congress will need new alliances to foil Modi
How will the Congress countenance Narendra Modi — BJP's prime ministerial candidate, who many think could script the party's return to power in 2014?delhi Updated: Sep 25, 2013 21:11 IST
How will the Congress countenance Narendra Modi — the BJP's prime ministerial candidate who many think could script the party's return to power in 2014? The question's valid as the Gujarat chief minister styles himself as a strong and decisive leader regardless of his divisive appeal.
Even his polarising persona fits in well with the BJP's so-called Hindu nationalism in an environment vitiated by terrorist violence and communal strife. Add to that his claims to development and effective, if not entirely inclusive governance, and Modi looks a formidable opponent to the ruling combine burdened by charges of malfeasance and maladministration.
In the given scenario, the BJP's poster boy can indeed add value to the party's vote base the way Vajpayee did in the second half of the nineties. But that's the farthest one can go to keep the comparison from turning odious.
For Modi lacks the former premier's amenable ways, mesmerizing oratory and the inclusive draw that made the BJP acceptable. Vajpayee's unlikeliest ally was Karunanidhi's DMK that overcame its anti-brahminical foundations to join the NDA bandwagon.
The Gujarat CM's assets that won him the party nomination can be a liability in coalition politics where the prime ministerial slot has traditionally gone to leaders devoid of a mass base but having the ability to govern. It was essentially on this count that Morarji Desai (1977), Deve Gowda (1996-97) and Gujral (1997-98) got lucky while sturdier contenders such as Jagjivan Ram, Charan Singh and Mulayam Singh Yadav sat out.
VP Singh's elevation in 1989 was an exception. But as a senior BJP leader put it, the Congress rebel was "touched by the hand of destiny." Modi in his view was similarly blessed.
The logic's compelling but a trifle short on historical perspective. The anti-Congress wave that VP rode saw him securing outside support from the BJP and the Left. That lineup became a political impossibility post-1992 (Ayodhya) and 2002 (Gujarat riots).
Modi needs a landmark —if not a landslide — victory to become a PM. His camp followers insist that the buzz around his name among young urban voters can perhaps get him within the striking range of 200-odd target.
Anything short of 180-200 will afford his detractors an opening to kill his claim by exploiting his "low acceptability" among potential allies.
For the Congress fighting heavy odds, the best available options are a string of pre-poll alliances across states together with a publicity blitz based on rights-based jobs, food, education and access to forest produce in the countryside.
Here too it'll have to choose carefully its poll partners. For the party then led by PV Narasimha Rao wouldn't have lost power in 1996 had it tied up with the DMK-Tamil Manila Congress (TMC) and not Jayalalithaa's AIADMK. The 39 Lok Sabha seats the DMK-TMC-CPI won went into the kitty of the United Front the Congress was forced to support from outside.
The UF lasted barely two years, paving the way for the Vajpayee-led NDA to wrest power for 13 months in 1998 and full five years in 1999.
That means if the Congress props a third front in a hung house after the 2014 polls, it might be able to only postpone, not diminish Modi's challenge.

Rel. Council Announces Theme
Vesper Service Starts at 6:30
Frosh Initiation
and Reception Set
For Friday
At a meeting of all student
leaders held last Monday, Al
Windham, Student Council vice-president,
announced that next
Friday, September 22nd, is the
date set for Freshman Initiation
Day. All the activities pertaining
to a general freshman initiation
will be executed during this one
day only.
During the evening, beginning
at 7:30 in the college chapel, there
will be an "All School Program"
in which every student organiza-tion
will be allowed to three
minutes to present their organiza-tion
to the Freshmen. According
to Mr. Windham, the purpose of
the program is to acquaint the
new students with the type of
activity of each campus organiza-tion,
so that they may more in-telligently
chqose which ones to
join. Also during the program, the
new teachers on campus will be
After the evening program, a
formal reception of all the , new

be held in the dining hall, after
which everyone will be served re-freshments.
1st PDG Meeting
Held Last Night
The Progressive Discussion
Group met last night in the re-fectory
room of the boys dorm
for their initial meeting of the
year: Johannes Niemeyer led the
group as plans were made for this
school year. An election of offi-cers
was held and several ways
of getting new members were dis-cussed.
After the business session
refreshments were served.
This marks the beginning of the
fourth year that the P. D. G. has
been a standing organization on
campus. Its purpose is to stimulate
thinking regarding pertinent world
problems by the means of discus-sion.
W. Peterson and
Forsline Elected
To Rel. Council
At a student election held last
Friday in the chapel, Wally Peter-son
was elected vice-president of
the Religious Council, and Wes
Forsline was made chairman of
the Christian Service Department
of the school. A Seminary stu-dent,
Mr. Peterson has served on
the Religious Council before as
Christian Service Chairman. Mr.
Forsline is in the senior college
and has returned to the campus
after spending a year of service
with the Conference God's Inva-sion
Running for the vice-presidency
with Mr. Peterson were Bud Eklof
and Henry Nelson. Floyd Welch
was the only other member on
the Christian Service ballot.
Among the new Bethel staff and faculty members are, left to right,
fist row, Mrs. Robert Otto, new girl's dormitory supervisor, Miss Rus-inko,
English instructor, Mrs. Harold Lidbom, Miss Mildred Bisgrove,
Music Department. Back row is Prof. Walfred Peterson, economics in-structor,
Dr. Bernard Ramm, Philosophy Dept. and Bible, Roy Dalton,
history instructor, and Mr. Harold Lidbom, director of Religious Acti-vities
and supervisor of Edgren Residence. Not pictured are Dr. Con-rad
of the Seminary, Mr. Saunders and Mr. Bergstrom of the college.
Miss Mildred Bisgrove
New Momouth, New Jersey saw Miss Mildred Bisgrove through her
childhood days and then promptly lost her to such institutions of learn-ing
as Temple University, where she studied art, Eastman's school of
music and then to Union Theological Seminary for a major in sacred
Miss Bisgrove obtained a master's degree for which history, literature
and piano formed a background. Transcribing twelfth, thirteenth and
fourteenth century music contributed to her musical experience besides
the teaching she did in the music department of Augustana College in
Rock Island, Illinois.
Mr. Roy Dalton
Mr. Roy Dalton is putting his B. A. degree into immediate use in his
alma mater's history department. Over 100 students are enrolled in his
course in modern world, and he intends to devote much of that course
to studying history that is in the making today.
Summer school at the University of Minnesota was just the beginning
for Mr. Dalton, who is continuing graduate studies there in the field
of history when his profession does not keep him occupied otherwise.
Piano and Organ fill the spare moments which the junior boys of his
Sunday School class leave unclaimed.
Mr. Walfred Peterson
Minnesota U is responsible (at least in part) for both the B. A. and
M. A. behind Mr. Walfred Peterson's name, Mr. Peterson, who is teach-ing
economics and political science this year, spent the previous year
attending the University of Washington.
It is possible that Mrs. Peterson hides the sports section of the
daily paper occasionally, since her husband takes a decided interest
in it, basketball being his favorite sport.
Dr. Bernard Ramm
Now that his book on Bible interpretation is written and due to
reach the public in less than a month, Dr. Ramm can give his full
attention to the college students who come to him to learn the history
of philosophy or the philosophy of religion as well as those Seminar-ians
who look to him for Old Testament introduction information or a
view into the field of Christian apologetics.
This man, holding an honorary membership in such organizations as
The Victorian Society of Great Britain, the National Association of
Bible Instructors, a national philosophy society and a national honor
society, is known to Beth, age 7, and Stevie, age 4, as "Daddy" and
attributes his scholastic success to "sleeping 8 hours a night."
Miss Susan Rusinko
When subjects as varied as music appreciation, tennis and knitting
claim Miss Rusinko's special interest, it is to be expected that her
classes in English literature will benefit thereby. A B. A. degree from
Wheaton College and an M. A. degree from Pennsylvania State College
in English literature also aid in that direction. Westmont College in
Santa Barbara, California formerly counted Miss Rusinko on their
teaching staff.
Mr. Robert R. Sanders
Travel in the West filled Mr. Sanders' time just prior to his arrival
at Bethel his residence in the Hagstrom Apartments. In his biology
and zoology classes he intends to use visual education extensively,
using as many colored slides as he can procure. Experiments in
bacteriology will also be carried out by Mr. Sanders who studied
bacteriology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He secured a
master's degree from Washington State College in zoology and etom-ology.
Mr. W. Bergstrom
Mr. Bergstrom is teaching in the English department and was not
available for an interview at this time.
Added requirements for Semin-ary
seniors bring Rev. Alphin Con-rad
here to teach Biblical Theol-ogy
this year.
Dealing with this subject in the
Old and New Testament and in
Christology, the new Seminary in-structor,
who holds among other
degress a Th M degree from Cent-ral
Baptist Seminary in Kansas
City, Missouri, plans to present
the entire course in three quar-ters.
During the year he will also
be working on a dissertation to
complete his master's degree. New
Testament Survey and Evangelism
will also be teaching fields for
the former pastor of Seattle's
Ballard Baptist Church.
Under "special interests" Rev.
Conrad lists the time consuming
occupation of building a house
wherein his wife Hazel, a daugh-ter,
Joy Lyn, and a son, Bill will
reside with him when the project
is completed. Mrs. Conrad] is the
daughter of the first missionaries
to enter Tibet with the gospel.
"Where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound," Romans 5:20,
was cited by Rev. Conrad as one
of his favorite verses of Scrip-ture.
Edgren Dorm Has
New Advisor
At a boy's dormitory meeting,
Mr. Harold Lidbom, new supervi-sor
of boy's dormitories made the
statement "A man can be in busi-ness
and still be a real Christian."
From 1932 until 1949 Mr. Lid-born
was in business with the
Gambles chain stores. During his
last 41/2 years as a business man,
"Pop" Lidbom was district mana-ger
for the Gambles stores of Wis-consin,
Michigan and Minnesota.
For the past two years, Mr. Lid-born
has been associated with the
Conference God's Invasion Army,
having ben one of its organizers
with Rev. Ed Nelson, Mrs. Lid-born
is still with the Invasion
Army and will be until November.
Before going into the business
world the new supervisor attended
Northern State Teachers College.
Mrs. Lidbom graduated from
Bethel Acadlemy in 1924.
The Lidboms are members of
Bethel Baptist Church of Duluth,
where both hay served as a choir
member and Sunday School
As expressed before at a dorm
meeting, Mr. Iidbom feels that his
job will be enjoyable with the
spirit of cooperation existing a-mong
the fellows.

Editorial .. .
On behalf of the Clarion publication: Wel-come
all Freshman and new students to Beth-el
In this Clarion issue are printed faculty
greetings. Words such as "cooperation," "re-sponsibilities,"
"sacrifices," opportunities,"
"leadershil," "scholastic," unitedly," "faith-ful,"
and "surrender," appear and challenge
the reader. These words attract some students
and sincere effort is made to develop leader-ship;
to be cooperative; and to engage in a
united effort.
Those whom "opportunities" or "leader-ship"
might attract will not find it hard to
pursue paths at Bethel on which they may use
their talents' and develop leadership.
One of the areas in which there is much
opportunity to be of service and to develop
leadership is in the `publication department of
the school. Both on the school paper, the
Clarion, and on the ammal, The Spire, there
are places to give your talents. Take advan-tage
of the "opportunities" a reporter has in
meeting his classmates and the faculty and
being alert to campus news. Much training is
gained by those who meet the business man in
selling advertising. There is a certain pride
that comes to a page makeup editor when he
sees the workings of his mind and hands on a
neatly printed page. A typist can really feel
to be of much service as the many stories
cross her desk.
As you have opportunities "stir up the gifts
within" and be of service to the schol by help-ing
in publications.
Greetings Bethelites
by Dean Edwin J. Omark
An official welcome may seem unnecessary
or unduly belated at this date when school
activities are in full swing. We trust the
warmth of Bethel's welcome has already been
experienced by all new students and personnel
on the campus.
Speaking for the Seminary, we are pleased
to record this rather formal welcome in the
hope that it may correctly express the cordial
feelings of the faculty. We are delighted to
welcome all new students, and our hearts
rejoice over the privilege of deepening friend-ships
with returning students.
Witai Place dieitaiain?
by Dave Carlson
At various and sundry times during the
year various and sundry organizations recog-nize
various and sundry individuals as having
that bravado which singles them out from
among the masses and names them as HER-OES.
Now I would be the first one to approve
such commendations and most of the rewards
are bestowed upon worthy individuals. How-ever,
I also feel that many heroes go unnotic-ed
amid the hurry and bustle of the everyday
American scene.
For instance, I personally know an Ameri-can
husband who* actually braved the criti-cism
and anguished cries of his wife and
three teen-age daughters and went to evening
church services three times during the summ-er
months rather than enjoy a cool Sunday
evening ride.
Then there is that one student in a thou-sand
who will actually admit that she didn't
do much during her three months at home
except swim, have dates and get up late morn-ings.
Her honesty is worthy of recognition as
well as being refreshing.
And who is so daring as the inquisitive soul
that asks the sweet young returning Sopho-more,
"How's your boy friend these days?"
That blood-chilling look and the even colder
reply soon puts a stop to such idle questions.
So don't anticipate the day when you will
meet an honest-to-goodness hero ... your
roommate may be one!
Dean's Welcome:
Let's Do It Again!
When asked by a Clarion reporter what
they Nought of the Freshman Retreat at Big
Trout Lake the freshmen were enthusiastic in
their replies, and expresed the hope that all
future freshmen classes at Bethl will b privi-iged
with such an experience.
Here are just a few of the answers received:
RALPH CARLSON—Bristol, Connecticut...
"This weekend certainly has been worthwhile
in the fellowship and many spiritual blessings
we have had."
VERA VAN CLEAVE—Steamboat Springs,
Colorado... "This weekend has given us fresh-men
a real start spiritually and socially."
BERNICE GOODNIGHT—Russiaville, Indi-ana...
"This weekend has brought me closer
to God than ever before. I wondered why God
brought me to Bethel, and now I know why.
This is a wonderful place."
DORAINE ANDERSON—Westfield New Jer-sey...
"This weekend has been an inspiration
spiritually and has given us freshmen a won-derful
chance to get acquainted with each
ERIC WARNSTROM—Chicago, Illinois...
"This weekend has really been swell. We've
gotten to know each other as freshmn and
found a ral warm Christian fellowship which
has drawn us closer to the Lord."
DON BERGGREN—Jamestown, North Dako-to...
"The steam is up spiritually; let's keep
the presure constant."
JOYCE BRADSHAW—Ludington, Michigan.
"I enjoyed the meetings on Sunday most of
all. The messages, chalk drawing, movies, and
the Campfire climaxed a perfect weekend."
DON BARNHILL—Davenport, Iowa. "The
Sunday evening meeting made a lasting im-pression
upon me, and from the standpoint
of entertainment, the sports were tops."
LORRAINE FRIBERG—Ferndale, Washing-ton.
"We couldn't have had a better opportuni-ty
to become better acquainted with our new
classmates, and I think a retreat such as this
one was the best thing in beginning the
school year right."
Introducing "Egghead"
by Marlene Burtt
Bethel has, for a number of years, been
filled with heads of all kinds. There have
been square heads, block heads, cabbage
heads, and now comes an egghead.
Scientific minded students and those from
the deep south will be interested to know of
Professor aSnder's new pet. It's a two pound,
sixteen gila monster (pronounced hela.)
Dubbed "Egghead" because of its ability to
live on raw eggs and a little water, the lizard-like
reptile is perhaps five years old •and is
very brightly colored. Its name means "sun
"Egghead" was caught with a bug net by
Professor Sanders three years ago on a desert
near Tuscon, Arizona. It resided in the Sand-er'
bathtub (hope they have two.) Reported
to hiss a little, and bite if necessary, "Egg-head"
has a forked tongue and sheds skin
irregularly. The genus Heloderma susspectum
claims "Egghead!' as a member of its family.
crship. In giving yourself unselfishly, you will
experience joy. If you live off-campus you
will have many opportunities to witness for
Christ and to guard the reputation of Bethel
College and Seminary in the Community.
You cannot be a successful student in your
own strength. You cannot look to upper-class-men
or to faculty members as perfect exam-ples
although they will do what they can to
help you. You must keep your eyes upon Je-sus,
your Lord and Master, and remember that
He tenderly looks at you and expects nothing
less than your very best at all times.
Welcome to Bethel, the school which has
reached out to touch lives in many parts of
the world. Welcome to share in the responsi-bilities
of making this school year the best
year that Bethel has ever had scholastically
and spiritually. •
Effie V. Nelson
Dean of Women
Consider This...
...."But as for you, continue in what ye
have learned and have firmly believed, know-ing
from whom you have learned it and how
from childhood you have been acquainted
with the sacred writings which are able to
instruct you for salvation through faith in
Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God
and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, equip-ped
for every good work."
II Timothy 3:14.17
Mayhem and Madness
It's time to change the mistaken idea that
the words "sugar and spice and everything
nice" always applies to girls. If you had been
present at the traditional "dunking" party
given to the freshmen girls by the girls of
the upper classes, it might have appeared that
the spirit of "snips and snails and puppy dog
tails" prevailed. •
This time of mayhem and madness was not
a total surprise. For days the operation under
way was planned in whispered conferences
held behind locked doors. The time ... 11:30
P.M. (when all good freshmen are in bed),
the place ... the Girl's Dorm. At the zero
hour, some 35 upperclassmen,, with the pain-ful
memory of their own "dunking" still fresh
in their minds, set out to wreak vengeance
upon the unsuspecting freshmen. The tramp-ing
feet of this army struck terror to their
hearts. They tried locking their doors, but
Lucy "Casey" Caskey, with the master key in
hand, was more than a match for them. The
miserable victims crouched in their beds or
hid in closets, but it was no use. A few help-less
attempts at struggling were made, but
most of the girls submitted in mute surrender
to the power of the invaders, each of whom
grabbed an arm and leg of their trembling
prey. The trip down the hall was swift, and
before the freshmen could retaliate, they
found themselves sitting in a tub filled with
cold water.
An operation of this sort is not without
its complications however. In the excitement,
one of the interested spectators, Mrs. Wal-fred
Peterson, was almost mistaken for a
freshman and narrowly escaped their fate.
And lest some of the freshmen girls are ready
to believe that Carol Bessey, who was moni-tor
that night, is austere and forbidding in
the strictest sense of the word, let it be
known that the only reason she threatened
to "campus" those freshmen who refused to
mop up the water, was to save the upper
classmen's strength. All suffered severe cases
of battle fatigue and dispersed to their vari-ous
rooms to recuperate.
Plans for next year's operation are already
under way. In this way the freshmen will
be able to vindicate themselves, and at the
same time the tradition of Bethel dorm life
will be preserved for later years.
Cem5 of Tbougtjt
President Wingblade
The doors of Bethel have opened once more
to a host of young people—many of them for
the first time. In addition to all else that has
been said, this is another warm word of wel-come.
We trust that every new student feels very
much at home by this time as he has been re-ceived
into the Bethel family and made to un-derstand
that he now "belongs."
What kind of year are we going to have?
The answer to that depends upon everyone of
us. "What kind of school would Bethel be if
every student were just like me?" If each one
lip es out his part faithfully, each link will be
strong and the entire chain complete.
God does not require that we be brilliant
or gifted; that is a matter outside our province
to decree. The question is: Have we been
faithful? Have we made the most of what we
have been given?
Some years ago the highest I. Q. student in
the college drew only "C" grades. He did not
try. He leaned when he should have led. He
drifted. He did his light under the bushel of
What is in thine hand? A shepherd's staff.
But it became the instrument by which God
wrought almost countless miracles. What is
in thine hand? A few stones and a sling. But
by means of that the great giant was laid low
and victory was wrought for a people.
What is in thine hand? Five tiny loaves and
two small fish. That became the means of
feeding a multitude and yet of overflowing
still abundantly.
The school master scorned Thomas Edison,
the electric wizard, as a dunce. Caruso, the
world's greatest tenor, was sent home by his
singing teacher as hopeless. Lincoln rose to
the presidency after a long series of defeats.
We know that in each case there was a hidden
genius that brought out only by infinite pa-tience
and hard work.
"All I could, never be,
All men ignored in me—
That I was worth to God
Whose wheel the pitcher framed."
Every student at Bethel can become a suc-cess
far beyond his highest dreams if he will
make the most of every opportunity—if he
will surrender himself to the hands of the
1'1 aster.
May we ever remember that we are not our
own. We are brought with a price. May we
glorify God in our bodies and spirits which
are His.
The Most Dangerous
Thing In the World
The September issue of the National Educa-tion
Association Journal came to my desk just
ahead of the Clarion editor's request for a
thought for the Clarion. When the editor left,
I opened the Journal and saw a lead article
on "The Most Dangerous Thing in the World."
As I began to read the article, I discovered
that an education can be the "most danger-ous
thing in the world," for the writer em-phasized
that an "intelligence which is not
humane," is just that. Immediately there be-gan
a panoramic reflection of the scores of
newspapers and magazines that I have thumb-ed,
out of the past decades, which proclaimed
a great unqualified faith in knowledge. A
generation ago educators and public alike pro-posed
to solve all the world's problems by the
dissemination of knowledge.
It is refreshing now to read that "Just as
education without humanity is the most dan-gerous
thing in the world, so education in
love, human understanding, and cooperation is
the greatest hope of the world." This truth
has always been prominent in Bethel's educa-tional
philosophy, It must, however, be under-stod
that this education involves a combination
of the human agencies with the divine work
of grace in the human heart. Without the lat-ter
every effort will be futile.
As Bethel personnel, faculty and students,
we profess to be Christians. Let us unitedly
ask the Lord for a school year in which live,
human understanding, and cooperation are
prominent manifestations of the Lord's work-ig
in our lives.
—C. E. Carlson

It is a pleasure to extend a sincere welcome
to the students who have come to Bethel for
the first time. You have ben praying and
planning, and now you are really here. Upper
classmen and faculty members have looked
forward to your coming, and they are expect-ing
the best from you. Hundreds and thou-sands
of consecrated Conference Babtists have
made sacrifices that you might enjoy the op-portunities
which are now before you. Your
parents will mis you but the ywill prayerfully
look toward Bethel with thankful hearts for
the responsibilities which you will con
scientiously accept.
It is true that yoti have come to Bethel to
get an education in a Christian atmosphere.
It is also true that your responsibilities are as
great as your privileges. It is not only impor-tant
to accept what Bethel offers you but also
important to consider what you can give. On
the campus hundreds of other students will
look to you for Christian friendship and lead-

Freshman Say Trout Lake
Retreat "A Big Success!!
All the way from the play, "Little Nell," Saturday night to Roger
Youngquist's last message on "Christian Principle Choices," the Fresh-men
Retreat at Big Trout Lake was a thrilling experience and a big
success, according to the general expression of those in attendance.
Planned by the freshmen week chairman, Jim Rentz, the retreat
was held for the purpose if getting acquainted; and to give a spiritual
lift to start off the year.
The group of 175 freshmen were right choices to make. President

New Health Service
Has Growing Pains
by Lucius Butler
Dil you get your X-ray? Have
you noticed the pipes by the stairs
in the dining hall? Remember that
three dollars you paid at registra-tion
time? Been wondering what
this is all about? Well, I'll tell
'ytocki. Our school has grown so
much in the past couple of years
that the School Nurse has had to
become three people in order to
keep up with all her "charges."
In order to relieve this situation,
President Wingblade appointed a
committee, with Professor Elving
Anderson as chairman, to work out
the details of this much thought-of,
discussed problem.
If you are interested in finding
out the "clear dope" on our new
Health Service, may I refer you to

In the meantime, however,
all those who have aches and
pains (o t h e r than those heart-aches
caused b y mental "pres-sures")
should see t h e School
Nurse, Marianne Ostrom, and she
will patch you up so you. will last
the rest of the quarter.
For those who would like to
know just what they get for three
dollars, here is a listing: A physi-cal
examination when entering
school (don't fret Frosh, you get
it), also one prior to graduation
(if you live four years), a physi-cian
who will be "available for
consultation during certain hours"
(quote: page 9), aspirins for those
terrible headaches from studying
too much (pause for a short
laugh), sugar pills for those
"what.chamacallits" pains that
some students get during the final
week, and if you can convince the
nurse that you ahe really sick, you
can spend one wonderful day in
the infirmary free of charge each

valued at $200., has been installed

Bethel College opens its 1950 football season on September 23rd at
Highland Stadium at 2:00 P.M. The opponent is Rochester J. C. from
Rochester, Minn. Last year in the opening game at Rochester under the
lights, the Indians fell 13-6. However, this year the team hopes to square
things by winning the tilt and thus opening the season on a successful
note. One thing which will help the team get off on the right foot
is a good crowd of students, teachers, and friends. All of you loyal
Bethel fans should by all means be at this opening game and all the
rest throughout the season. Support the boys—it's your team!
Although basketball is still a long way off, it is interesting to look
about and speculate a little. Of last year's starting five, only Bud Pierce
is back. Captain-elect Pierce is a good man to have back, as any one
who has seen him play knows, but a lot of good material will have to
come to take the places of his former fellow-mates, Greenman, Wood,
Bjorndahl, and Peterson. Ken Greenman is back but in the Seminary,
thereby ineligible. A few of the second string have been seen on the
campus including Gordy Johnson, Wayne Thompson, Harry Nelson,

Lynn Lundeen Named Coach
Will Direct Football Campaign
"Fresh from college" would be the term to apply to the new football
coach at Bethel for the 1950-51 season. eH is Lynn Lundeen, who has
just finished his schooling at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, graduat-ing
with a B.A., majoring in physical education.
Coach Lundeen could easily be mistaken for a Bethel student, for
he is only 22 years of age and looks like a typical student with his
crew cut hairdo. He is 5' 10" tall and weighs around 160. He is un-married
(as of this interview), and makes his home in the city across
the river from St. Paul.
Edison High School in Minneapolis was the training ground for his
first days of football. There he held down a guard position on the team
for three years surrounded by such giants as Clayt Tonnemaker and
Jerry Mitchell—later of fame at the University of Minnesota.
In the year 1946, Mr. Lundeen found himself on the campus of Augs-burg
for the first time and he wasted no time in going out for foot-ball.
He was rewarded with a position on the team at the old guard
spot which he played in high school. Again in his sophomore, junior,
and senior years, he gained a place on the squad.
Wrestling also drew his attention at Augsburg, and he wrestled regu-larly
in the 155 pound division. Two opponents in St. Paul were Macal-ester
and the Minnesota Farm School.
Aside from coaching with the Minneapolis Park Board Logan midgets,
this is Coach Lundeen's first assignment as a coach. After working out
with the fellows out for football this year, the coach voiced the opinion
that "the spirit is good, the fellows are all working hard and looking
forward to a good season."
Only Eight Lettermen Return;
Rochester Here for Opener
Between twenty-five and thirty gridders answered the football call
on September 12 as Coach Lundeen began charting plans for the 1950
season. This year marks Bethel's fifth year in the sport, and the pros-pects
look better this year than ever before.
Although only eight lettermen are back from last year's squad,
newcomers appear to be out in good numbers, and most are very good
prospects. Fellows back from previous years will have to fight to main-tain
their position on the team this year as some of the new prospects
appear able to step into the starting lineup.
Back from last year are letter-men
Ron Skoog and John Viren,
who are co-captains elect for this
season, Ron Johnson, Al Olson,
