Dr. Mecklenberg
Discusses Allied
Peace Conference
Today during fourth period Dr.
George Mecklenberg of Minneapo-lis
addressed the student body of
Bethel Institute in the college cha-pel.
He undertook to discuss a
subject of great interest and im-portance,
the current Allied Peace
Conference in San Francisco. Dr.
Mecklenberg held the attention of
every listener as he explained
what is happening at this gather-ing
of the United Nations. Con-vocation
hour was held on Wed-nesday
instead of Tuesday so that
this well-known authority could be
brought to Bethel.

Which Way Are You Going?
Even though some of us are still young in years, there probably is
not one among us( who at some time or another has not felt sorry for
some traveler wearily plodding along a road without seemingly know-ing
or caring where he was going.
A person who continues to aimlessly wander along day after day
without a destination really is a creature to be pitied, but worse than
that, there is reason to suspect that he may be of unsound mentality.
There is a story told in the Dakotas of an incident that took place
along the Missouri river before the bridges of the present era were
built. In those early pioneering days small ferry boats were uSed to
take the people from one side of the river to another.
One of the early settlers in Dakota was a man who established a
bank .tand real estate agency. While waiting for a ferry to take him
across the river one day, he was approached by a "drifter", a man we
would call a "hobo" in our day. He asked for a quarter, the price of
a ferry ticket.
The astute, thrifty banker looked the man over and said, "Where are
you going?"
The reply came: "No place just for certain."
"Then you might as well stay on this side of the river," said the
banker as he returned the coin to his pocket.
The moral of such an incident applies readily to college students,
many of whom are not yet sure of their "destination". It is not too early
for us to set a definite course for our life, and thus definitely tie in
our studies, our activities, our knowledge, our friendships with the goal
for which we aim.
Even deeper than the lesson for this life is the application of the
need for the proper destination toward which we walk in view of eterni-ty.
There are surely thousands of travelers on the highway of life who
walk blindly without a definite destination. Such aimless traveling is
dangerous and inevitably fatal.
May we be reminded during the busy days of this life and in the
pursuit of knowledge that God has marked out a plain course and has
set for us a fixed goal, in the words of the Lord Jesus Christ who said,
"I am the way, the truth, and the light."
It was one of those hot, dry, sultry days in August. You had just
come in from an exhausting, dusty hike, or you had just finished a game
of tennis that left every part of your mouth parched and dry. Remem-ber
how you thought, "Oh, for a cold, fresh drink of water"?
Remember the times that so many of us as Christians felt that same
thirst in our hearts? A thirsting for a refreshing filling of His Spirit,
or a deeper insight into His word? Have you ever felt, "How can I give
a testimony tonight? I have nothing to testify of. What can I give to
the class I'm to teach? My heart is so empty and lifeless. Oh, to have
the joy of my salvation restored!"? And then you realized that you
would deprive others of a blessing because you yourself did not possess
a blessing inside! . . . One precious—truth from our God Himself brings
joy to thirsting hearts. "For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty
and floods upon the dry ground." He not only promises to quench thirst,
but to FLOOD our lives. And here, too, water refers to His Holy Spirit
which indwells us as believers. Jesus, the Saviour who has made us
His own, has promised that the water He gives shall be in us a WELL
of water, as a spring—overflowing. This all-sufficient Saviour said too,
that he would give us not only everlasting life for eternity, but an
abundant life for the present. No, He would not have us thirsting for
His riches, for His presence, for His power. There is no reason for
lack when ALL is ours in Christ Jesus! He would have every child of
His a specimen of the abundant, overflowing, Christ-filled, consecrated
life. Such a life would be the best "advertisement" to the unsaved.
Where do we find the joy we desire and need? "In Thy presence is
fullness of joy!" Does He care enough to fulfill our desires? "Since
thou wast precious in my sight I have loved thee."
Oh, the depth of the riches of both the wisdom and knowledge of
God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding
So, through moment by moment fellowship with Christ, enriched
by daily reading and knowing and loving His Word, and by prayer,
may we be able to say with the Psalmist, "Nevertheless, I am contin-ually
with thee: Thou hast holden me by the right hand." "In His pres-enece
is fulness of joy." "They ... shall not want any good thing."
The fall of the year plays its
very important part in the lives
of young people. To me each fall
brings throbbing memories of falls
of other years.
It marks the beginning of school
again after the hot summer. The
weather is still warm enough to
be enjoyed—though surcharged
with an increasing tang of 'cool-ness.
There is the fragrant odor
of burning leaves. Shouts ring out
from boys in early football prac-tice.
Work and play have taken
a new grip upon student life.
As the college year begins, new
faces stir the heart. Programs are
mapped out and begun. No failures
are as yet registered—only the
thrill of anticipation and hope.
Life is throbbing with future. All
things are possible. The "glory of
the unfinished" is beckoning ev-erywhere.
It is "to follow knowl-edge
like a sinking star to the ut-most
bounds of human thought."
But in the spring the year is
rounding to a close. One is reap-ing
what he has sown. Standards
have been realized. Friendships
have been knit. Character has
been formed. The fragrance of li-lacs
is in the air. Commencement
is upon us. Rewards are meted
And so the school year is a kind
of portrayal of life iytself. There is
a beginning, a continuation, and
an end. There always comes a last
day—we are then "a part of all
that we have met." Like a rolled
up scroll, so our personality is
made up of every impression which
has been wrought from within and
without through the years—immut-able
"The moving finger writes,
And having writ—moves on.
Not all your learning,
Not all your wit,
Can e'er erase a single line—
Nor all your tears wash out one
word of it."
But this is spring—and we are
young. Life is beckoning. Needs
are calling. Doors of tremendous
import are opening. Christian
youth movements are sweeping the
country. Deep streams of power
are flowing. What are we to do?
It is for us to launch out into
the full tide of God's love and
faithfulness—to lose ourselves in
His eternal purpose and find our-selves
in His fulness of joy. And
as we launch, it is for us to fol-low
a higher Light than any that
was ever seen on sea or land.
"Not of the sunlight,
Not of the moonlight,
Not of the starlight,-
0 young mariner,
Down to the haven,
Call your companions,
Launch your vessel,
And crowd your canvas—
And, ere it vanishes
Over the margin,
After it, follow it,—
Follow the gleam."

Pvt. Bill Berg, former student of
Bethel from Ashland, Wisconsin,
visited the campus last Tuesday
and Wednesday during a delay en-route
to Fort Meade, Maryland, for
overseas duty. Bill left school dur-ing
the first part of December, and
was home in Ashland until a week
before Christmas, when he entered
the U. S. Army. He has been sta-tioned
at Camp Robinson, Little

Outside Talent
At Convocations
At convocation on April 10, we
were privileged to have Major Dit-ton,
a war correspondent, as our
speaker. He spoke on the subject,
"A Wave, A Wing, and A Prayer,"
and gave us a thrilling account of
the work of the commandos in the
clearing of the coast of France
for allied troops on D-day. Major
Ditton, who was a member of the
commando group about which he
spoke, was one of five survivors
of the sixty-five men who took
part in the mission. Through his
very vivid and real descriptions,
we were all made to realize more
of what our boys are actually go-ing
through for us in all parts of
the world.
Miss Myrna Montgomery, Neva
Liljemark, and Maxine Olson all
had part in the convocation held
on April 17. Miss Montgomery,
who was accompanied on the piano
by her sister, favored us with four
groups of selections on her marim-ba.
We were very fortunate in se-curing
this talented young woman,
and enjoyed to the fullest every
number which she played.
Between the groups, Neva Lilje-mark
sang the "Holy City," and
Maxine Olson gave several fitting
readings in honor of our late pres-ident,
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
A joint meeting of the freshman
and sophomore classes was held
during convocation hour on April
24. The classes voted to pay $10
for a page in the Spire, and dis-cussed
athle\t ic activities. An-nouncements
were made regarding
the ping-pong tournaments, volley-ball
tournaments, and the track
Missionary Band met the even-ing
of April 17 in the Seminary

song "Lord, Send Me." Rev.

missionary message. He brought
several Japanese-American young
people to the meeting. One of the
girls sang a solo at the close of
the service. Lunch was served in

Do you remember final examinations, those tests of the knowledge
accumulated throughout each year of high school, college, or seminary
training? It has been so long since some of us have taken finals that
we hardly know what they are like. There are, however, kind friends
(and teachers) who remind us casually that the last week in May is
exam week and that three hours are allotted for each final. We wince,
thinking about all the studying we shall have to do some time, but
when? And it has been so long since we hav'e studied that we won't
remember how. It- is impossible! Why must exams be placed at the
end of the year when there are so many other extra activities going on?
So you do remember final examinations? Hmm! That creates a
problem and we shall have to break the news gently. Didn't you read
the bulletin board notices, especially an official document dated April
19, 1945? We have often had discussions about finals—we know it would
create a better atmosphere all around were there no examinations.
Our Senior class in high school, for example, proved this point! We
were a very large class, comparatively speaking, and there was quite
a mass of intelligence accumulated in this one class. (Statement based
on actual figures, twelve out of thirty-six were A and B students.) We
introduced several new ideas—senior privileges (of various descrip-tions)—
including the elimination of finals for seniors with A or B av-erage,
and we kindly offered ourselves as a "guinea pig" class on which
to experiment the advisability of the practice. We won't mention whe
ther the privileges were carried on to the next year; frankly, I've for-gotten,
because I graduated without finals and somehow didn't care what
they did the next year.
Didn't you know that now, due to a ruling of the school board, we
need not take finals? I do hope you hadn't already begun studying.
It is true, however, we don't have to take them! The statute will no
doubt induce students to work more diligently within the next three
weeks to keep their averages up! They will leave school with more
energy stored up for summer work! They will be more anxious to re-turn
next fall to work with determination to keep those marks up!
They will—there's no end to the good this decision will create!
Do I mean it? Honest! If you don't believe me, see for yourself the
notice, which reads as follows:
"A ruling of the Bethel School Board provides that all bills are
to be paid before final examinations are taken. This includes bills for
room and board."

Dear Bethel,
School here is great. Boy, I
never thought I could get so inter-ested
in radio gear and radio work.
Even sitting and taking code at
18-20 words a minute for two hours
straight is fun—almost as much
fun as it was sitting up in the zo-ology
lab. for two hours straight.
Now to get to the thing I'm most
happy about. About three weeks
ago last Sunday night, Johnny
Whitcomb, son of the medical miss
sionary from India, and I had
charge of the six o'clock Christian
League service. For various rea-sons
we spoke on missions. John-ny
was able to give living, real
concrete examples of missionary
work and the extent to which it is
being carried out. Following his
appealing illustrations and exam-ples
I tried to emphasize the need
and responsibility we have as
Christians in forwarding the mis-sion
work in light of God's word.
The Lord used both of us in a
mighty way. There were about
twenty-five there and God was
right in our midst. A week later
two of the fellows in a neighboring
barracks came over and told us
that they had dedicated their lives
to Christ for full time missionary
work. Then last Sunday night the
chaplain told us that another
young fellow who had left this
base that week had told him that
that very same night he had prom-ised
God he would go to the utter-most
parts of the world to preach
the unsearchable riches. What a
joy to have a message that accom-plishes
something for time and
eternity. How I rejoice over the
experiences I had at Bethel and
the ones I've had personally with
my Saviour. Truly, every day with
Jesus is sweeter than the day be-fore.

it was well attended as usual,

Dear Friends:
It has been quite some time
since last I saw you. Received the
Clarion the other day. This navy
life has certainly presented a new
level of life to me that I had real-ly
never realized before. First of
all, it isn't an easy task to go from
the well "protected" fellowship
like Bethel into the open, hard
clutches of a body of men who, by
their very natures, are exceeding-ly
sinful. In other words it is hard
to make a stand for our Lord and
keep it at its high level. Many
times the question arises whether
it is worth all this trouble to hold
forth, but a little self pride and
the grace of God seem to take care
of it.
Yours in Him,

Dear Dean Johnson,
Not having replied to your com-munication
for quite some time,
there is a great deal to tell you.
This last year has been a high-light
in my life from the stand-point
of travel and liberal educa-tion,
but most of all in a spiritual
blessing from my Lord and Saviour
on High. Romans 8:28. This verse
has been in my memory for quite
some time, but only this last year
have I been made to realize its
true significance and claim its true
value for myself. The Lord has
been abundant in His mercy and
keeping power in my behalf.
Last December I had the grand
opportunity to visit a Mission Sta-tion
and School on a small neigh-boring
island. Rev. and Mrs. John
Gillan and little daughter Helen
were the missionaries. He is the
grandson of the former world re-nowned
John G. Paton, "Mission-ary
to the New Hebrides." It was
a real thrill for me to see first
hand how a Mission Station is ac-,
tually conducted. Native boys
(men) from surrounding areas are
brought in for training as evange-lists
and preachers and Christian
Workers. The entire course is four
years. Of course it is a long slow
sometimes painful process for the
natives in learning, nevertheless
they are perservering and faithful
to the calling.

"Bell-bottomed trousers,
And coats of navy blue—"
Such was the garb of Leo Lind-berg,
S 2/c when he visited Beth-el's
halls a few weeks ago, fresh
out of boot camp. Since his return
to Great Lakes Naval Training
Station, we hear that he has been
wearing "whites" constantly. No,
not his dress whites, but a hospi-tal
gown. You see, he sailed into
some stormy weather—the rheu-matic
"She loved a sailor,
And he loved her too—"
Which brings to mind the fact
that Gretchen Clausen was very
pleased with what the Easter bun-ny
brought her. We don't blame
you Gretch; we were all glad to
see Johnny Bob. We hear he's
soon to be stationed at St. Olaf
College where he will take train-ing
under the Navy V-5 program.
"And now she's gone to sea—"
Huh, not just yet. At present
Margaret Swanson, Y 3/c, is secre-tary
to the personnel office at the
U. S. Naval Air Station, Jackson-ville,
Florida. Swanee reports that
she is hoping for a leave soon.
Won't it be swell to hear an en-thusiastic
pep talk on the "advan-tages"
of the U. S. Navy!
In a letter recently received
from Wilbur "Knopp" Erickson,
S 1/c, who is now taking radar
training in Norman, Oklahoma, he
expressed his thanks to Dean John-son
for his kind letters of encour-agement.
He stated, "It is wonder-ful
to know that there are many
who care and pray."
German students, don't despair!
Maybe your Deutsch will come in
handy some day. Jimmy Nyquist,
who is now a corporal in the in-fantry
somewhere in Germany sent
word to Miss Nelson that the Ger-man
he learned here at Bethel is
really coming in handy now.
Of course, all our former lan-guage
students haven't found a use
for their knowledge; at least we
don't imagine Conwell Anderson,
S 2/c, who is now somewhere in
the Pacific, is finding too much
opportunity for exhibiting his pro-ficiency
in Swedish.
Willie Wessman writes from the
Naval Air Technical Training Cen-ter
in Memphis, Tennessee, that he
envies the Bethel student's usual
siege of spring (Como Park) fever.

And THIS Is Where We Eat

Where eggs blow up occasional-ly
too. We wish to make an apolo-gy
to the Chemistry class. One
morning last week when a horrible
smell was permeating through the
halls, many people blamed the
Chemistry class for it. But eggs
boiled dry not only make an ex-plosive
noise when they explode,
but also a scorching smell when
they scorch.
Perhaps it was the day after
this little accident that one of our
customers came in and said, "I'd
like an egg salad sandwich with
some egg salad in it today—even
if I have to pay a little extra."

you were working in a drug store,

B—ouquets and more bouquets! Lorene Janssen's birthday proved to
be very enjoyable when those "one dozen roses" arrived from the
one and only overseas. "Oo's" and "ah's" can be heard from all Be-thel
gals visiting Como Conservatory—and then—the sign— "Don't
pick the flowers!" What a disappointment!
A—ctivity and more of it! May is here, and banquet ideas are in the
air. Eloise Jenssen and Greta Fredrickson are as busy as little bees
preparing the decorations for that May 18th event. And, just as in-dustrious
are Irene Hess and Margaret Jensen, two artists engaged
in making posters for the concert this Friday.
N— ew clothes—shorts, skirts, slacks—and formals! With the B.W.A.
tea, and the banquets just around the corner, formals seem to be the
most important of the clothes items at the moment. Joy Berry is
deep in -thought about that Simplicity pattern, and Arleth Brask and
Virginia Anderson are trying to decide what color to choose.
Q—uestions—The Sophomores are asking for the Freshie who will re-veal
what the J. S. is going to be like, and Gretchen Clauson is won-dering
if Bob will have liberty that night. (Incidentally Bob is to
be stationed at St. Olaf's starting May 17th.) However, another ques-tion
is in the minds of _Dagmar Jensen, Jean Hamlett, and Norma
Seaquist; they're all trying to figure out when their term papers
will reach completion. Their theme song at the moment is "Never A
Day Goes by That I Don't Think of You" (the term paper).
U—nusual--If you were to enter Eleanor Nelson's room, you would see
a few of those decorations for the J. S., and unusual they are. The
Sem Banquet will be unusual this year too; for it sounds as though
the fellows will be really held down. (The theme of the Banquet is
"Anchors".) And speaking of things unusual, Lois Amstutz has some-thing
new in the line of waste baskets. However, Dorothy Ericson
takes first prize— Say, Bob Sandin, a little bigger picture (more than
two inches) would look better in that 8x10 picture frame on Dorothy's
Summer days have shoo-ed the
heavy winter quilts off most of the
beds in yon cloistered rooms, but
many have intermittently been re-called
into service, as the fellows
have been awaking about three
A. M. (the silent hour) with a half-inch
of frost on their whiskers.
Some have been brave enough to
fling wide their windows, while
others desirous of a whole and
hearty constitution, have been con-tent
with a two-inch aperture. Sev-eral
are still tenaciously clinging
to, or are being clung to, by the
outmoded and somewhat obsolete
"longies". But hope is never out
of sight.
Several of the inmates have paid
brusk visits to the bathtub, Ray
Hanson and Harris Johnson being
the faithful few. Incidentally, Har-ris
came out with a two-tone job.
We're one jump ahead of Henry
Ford at leant in speed. (Red and
John Agee has been bed-ridden
a few days during the past week,
and he was keeping his eye peeled,
and hair combed, for a girl named
Katherinle, who hails from over
Minneapolis way. When he was
strong enough to navigate again he
took a trip to the hospital (with
a packed brief-case). At midnight
he had not returned and some con-cerned
dorm mother called the U.
Hospital to see if Mr. Agee was a
patient there. Come to find out,
he had been over to see Katy.
Some "cure-all", eh? !
Ralphy was here and graced the
halls with both his conscious and
unconscious presence both day and
night. "Old faces bring new hope."
Interpret that maxim in your own
way. Adios.
Now that banquet season is at
hand I deem it fitting that con-sideration
be given to what is
technically known as "talking her
into it."
If you have been operating ac-cording
to the method suggested
in our last issue, you must have
attracted a number of intelligent
beauties by now. Put their names
in a hat, draw out one, and hie
yourself to her place of abode. Up-on
arriving do not say, "Hiya,
babe, whatcha doin' May 18?" It
is much better to converse pleas-antly
for a few minutes in order
to establish rapport, then to intro-duce
the subject of the banquet
and to assure her- that nothing
would give you more pleasure than
the privilege of escorting her. If
she avers she'd like to go but will
be washing her hair on that date
—well, you'd better read the ads
and check up on yourself.
If the light of your life is out,
it is proper to leave a calling card.
Leaving cards for all the ladies of
the household is fast becoming
passe. This procedure is hardly
practicable anyway at the girls'
dorm—the cost of calling cards
would soon exceed the tuition fee.
It may be necessary to resort to
telephoning the lady of your
choice. If she lives in the dorm,
it would be wise to start calling
several weeks in advance of the
banquet date. The telephone is
least likely to be busy between
the hours of two and four in the
morning. Even then there is no
guarantee of getting a call through.
I remember our college banquet
two years ago. I dialed the dorm
and was connected with West-lund's
Meat Market. Of course I
learned that they had a special
sale of ham hocks but that infor-mation
is valueless to most peo-ple—
any male Bethel student pre•
fers going out with a girl to a
ham hock. (Ed. note—this was be-fore
meat rationing.) When final-ly
I made the proper connection.
I asked the young lady to go to
the banquet with me. She had had
an argument with her parents that
day and wanted to disgrace them
—so she acquiesced—You see, –it's
not so hard.
You have now been introduced
to the intricacies of introductions
and date-making. Having mas-tered
the "mechanics" of the pro-cess,
we can next proceed to a dis-cussion
of that which will appeal
to your sense of the esthetic—the
language of flowers. William
Wordsworth in his "Intimations of
Immortality" says:
"To me the meanest flower that
blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep
for tears."
E—nthusiasm is filling the air and May is proving to be an interesting
month. The Freshies are enthusiastic about the J. S., the Sophomores
about graduation (we hope), the Sem students about their banquet,
and the girls are talking about the formal B.W.A. tea. (Little en-thusiasm
is being shown, however, in regard to final examinations.)
T—hrills—Peggy Peterson is still talking about that thrilling trip to
the Windy City. Florence Peterson is mumbling about her thrilling,
I mean chilling, experience when a downpour of H,2,0, from a can
of water accidentally (?) placed on the top of her door fell on "vic-tim"
S—atisfaction—With the school year fast drawing to a close, thoughts
travel to the "pasture" as well as the future. Past days at Bethel
have been "tops." And putting them all together—bouquets, activity,
new clothes, questions, unusual things, enthusiasm, thrills, we know
that all are looking forward to the B-A-N-Q-U-E-T-S and other ac-tivities
scheduled for the month of May. It's the last month of the
school year, so, come on,fellow students, let's make the most of it!

Bethel Defeats
Luther College
In Eighth 7-6
The Bethel Indians defeated
Martin Luther College of New Ulm
on Saturday, April 28, by a score
of 7-6. It was Bethel's second con-test
of the season, and the dia-mond-
men definitely showed im-provement,
both in the field and
at the plate.
Bob S'.ndin went the route on
the mound for Bethel, and. south-paw
Larry Gutzke hurled. the full
nine innings for the visitors. Both
pitched well but their support was
at times rather shaky, with the re-sult
that Bethel scored their sev-en
runs on only eight hits aril Lu-ther
made six runs while getting
nine blows.
Bethel took a 1-0 lead in the last
-half of the first inning, but in the
second Luther got to Sandin for
three runs on an error, a hit oats-man,
a :Ingle, and a triple. :An-ther
increased its lead to 4-1 in the
third frame as Gutzke poled a long
home run into Nebraska Av (mu?.
However, in the last half of the
third, Bethel pounded Gutzke all
over the lot. Highlight of this five-run
rally was Captain Sahlin's line
single to left with the base;3 load-ed.
The Indians batted all the way
around and led 6-4 at the end of
the inning.
Thereafter both pitchers settled
down and hurled shutout ball until
the eighth inning, in which D.M.
L.C. tied tile score at six-all
three singles and a long fly bail.
_Bethel came back in the final half
of the inning, however, taking ad-vantage
of an error and a wind-blown
double to squeeze across the
winning run. The visitors were
set down in order in the ninth, and
Bethel c.!:::ked up its first victory
of 1915.
Where can a man buy a cap for
his knee?
Or a key to the lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy,
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of his head, what
gems are found?
Who travels the bridge of his
Can he use when shingling the
roof of his mouth?

Can the crook of his elbow be sent

Sahlin Elected
1945 Captain
Clarence Sahlin, fiery guard on
the Bethel basketball team, was
recently elected captain of the
baseball team for the 1945 season.
Sahlin, shortstop and pepperbox
of the infield, is playing his third
season of baseball. Always batting
in the cleanup spot, Clarence is
the team's most consistent hitter
and is an excellent fielder.
Bethel will play seven games
this year, four away and three at
home. On May 3rd they will en-gage
the strong Augsburg College
team on the Veterans Hospital
Field. This game will be played
on Augsburg's class day, in which
all classes are dismissed and the
entire student body attends the
baseball game. Among the other
games scheduled will be a two
game trip to Mankato and New
Ulm May 25th and 26th.

*April 24 Concordia
*April 28 Luther College
May 3 Augsburg

Track Meet
On Friday, May 11, an all-school
track and field meet will be held.
Since Bethel has no track on which
the races may be run, the fresh-man
class, sponsors of the day-long
sports program are contact-ing
other schools to obtain the use
of facilities away from the school.
Nothing definite has been reported
along this line, but Bob Daley,
freshman class president, expects
an answer in the near future.
The Junior College has extended
a challenge to the Seminary, and
the two teams have been prepar-ing
for the contest during the last
two weeks. The managers of the
Seminary trackmen are Paul Na-gano,
Roland Gustafson, and Clar-ence
Sahlin,while the college team
is headed by Bob Daley and Nor-man
The track, events which will be
run include dashes of fifty, one
hundred, two hundred twenty, and
four hundred forty yards, a half-mile
run, and quarter-mile and re-lays.
Field events are football
throw for distance, shot put, high
jump, anal running broad jump.
Several of Bethel's athletes are
former high school trackmen, and
the events promise to provide a
wealth of thrills and excitement
for spectator and participant alike.
Bethel Outclassed
On Enemy Diamond
Bethel opened its 1945 baseball
campaign at Concordia last Tues-day,
losing 8-2 in a loosely played
game. Lack of practice was notic-able
in the Bethel boys as they
performed poorly in the field and
were amazingly weak at the plate.
Held to five hits, the red and
white threatened in but three in-nings
as Raabe, the Comet's hurl-er,
pitched a steady game. In the
second inning Sahlin singled, stole
second and scored on Peterson's
hard liner to left field. Nelson con-nected
for a long triple to right
center in the third only to die on
base. Bethel's second and last run
was scored in the seventh when
Nyman walked, went to third on
an error and scored on Edwards'
fly to right.
Peterson and Sandia hurled well
for the Indians allowing seven
hits, but received little support
from their mates. Gustafson, the
team's leading hitter last season,
failed to hit the ball out of the
infield while Eddy, the promising
rookie went down twice via the
strike out route.
Bethel has a potentially strong
team and, having the first game
with its necessary corrective as-pects
out of the way, should prove
its worth during the remainder of
its schedule.

Pairings for the ping-pong tour-nament
being sponsored by the
freshmen class have finally been
posted on the bulletin board in
the main hall of the college build-ing.
Seventeen names are listed in
the men's division, ten in the wo-men's
singles section, and four
pairs in the women's doubles.
The men's division includes such
outstanding paddlers as Wanfred

Clarence Sahlin, several of whom
made strong bids for first place in
last year's tournament.
In the girl's division Eunice

The country was for centuries known as Bohemia in English. When the nation regained its independence in 1918, the new name of Czechoslovakia was adopted to reflect the union of the Czech (Bohemian) and Slovak territories. Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech half of the former nation found itself without a common single-word name in English. In 1993, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs suggested the name Czechia as an official alternative; however, this has not become widespread in English.
[[Image:Template:Austrian Empire Provinces]] The Czech Republic became an independent state on January 1, 1993 when Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The area had been part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of the first world war when, in October 1918, the Czech provinces of Austria (Bohemia, Moravia, and Austrian Silesia) joined with the Slovak and Ruthenian (Ukrainian) counties of Hungary to create the Republic of Czechoslovakia. The Ruthenian region had been taken into Ukraine in 1945.

Pit Bull Rocker Radial Tire ReviewPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on July 1, 2011
Pit Bull has built its brand by creating aggressive and affordable off-road tires, often removed from conventional styling. In years past we've had great luck testing Pit Bull's bias cleats, and now that the radial line is packed with more sizes than ever before, we were anxious to give them a go. We got our hands on a set of 37x12.50R17 Rocker radials. Pit Bull, which molded these Rockers after the original ultra-aggressive bias-ply ones, considers the radial to be an "extreme terrain" tire that's a tad more street-friendly and finely tuned than the bias-ply.
To find out how well the 37-inch Rockers rolled, we strapped them onto a set of lightweight 17-inch Mickey Thompson Sidebiter wheels and fitted them onto a well-equipped Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. After logging some serious highway and off-road miles we are happy to report that the tires continue to impress. But they are not without a few cons. Here is a list of what we put them through so far and what the results have been.
Over the pavement we found the tires to have a mild roar at highway speeds, but the beefy lugs could hardly be felt and made for a very smooth ride. And while we like the growl of an aggressive mud-terrain, the consistent bark might not be the most soothing sound to others.
Fitted with a Load Range E sidewall, the 37x12.50R17 radial Rocker is capable of holding 4,080 pounds at 65 psi. While this is great for a 1-ton truck, it is a tad much for lightweight Jeeps and mini-trucks. We found that running the tires at 30 psi on the road was plenty for our four-door test Jeep, and we dropped into the low teens once the cleats hit the dirt
In loose dirt and sandy soil the Rockers chewed through the terra with ease. Although we found that in 2WD the tires headed more south than forward, a quick shift into 4WD allowed us to blast out of the sandy soil without any hesitation.
To secure the Rockers, we went with a set of 17x9 Sidebiter wheels from Mickey Thompson. Constructed of a high-strength aluminum casting and finished off with a high-gloss powdercoat, the Sidebiter is lightweight, which helped keep the rolling resistance down and offset the 92-pound Rocker.
With a combination of large tread blocks, wide lugs, and deep siping, the tires were able to grip and clean out easily in a variety of terrain. We even found the sidewall cleats to be very effective for crawling out of deep ruts and low-traction areas.

"The Single-Payer Train Has Left the Station"
A corporate public relations executive for 20 years, Wendell Potter left his job as Vice President of corporate communications for U.S. health care giant CIGNA to become an advocate for reforming the United States' broken health care system. He is the author of Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR Is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans, a critique of the U.S. health care system that examines the industry's manipulative tactics through the lens of his experience at CIGNA.
In this video, Potter discusses how Vermont's progress toward creating a state-run single-payer health care system could be the beginning of a trend toward a health care system that prioritizes patients over profits.
Americans spend the most, get the least, and have no health care security. The solution is not that difficult.
Health care is just part of the picture. Five policies that would be good for our health, happiness, and wallets.

Prosecutors: Man charged with starting massive 2013 California wildfire changed his story
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
FRESNO, Calif. – While the flames still raced through California's Sierra Nevada last year, investigators zeroed in on a deer hunter they suspected of starting what would become the mountain range's largest fire in its recorded history.
They pressed the hunter, who said at first he caused a rockslide in a remote corner of the Stanislaus National Forest that sparked the blaze, and then he blamed illegal marijuana growers, denying he even took a lighter on his hunting trip.
On Thursday — nearly a year later — a grand jury returned a four-count indictment against Keith Matthew Emerald, 32, alleging he started a campfire Aug. 17, 2013, in an area where fires were prohibited, and it spread beyond his control and turned into the massive Rim Fire.
A call to Emerald's attorney, federal public defender Janet Bateman, was not immediately returned.
The fire raged for two months across 400 square miles of land including part of Yosemite National Park, threatening thousands of structures, destroying 11 homes and costing more than $125 million to fight.
Investigators focused on Emerald, who gave inconsistent and changing versions of what happened. He was hunting deer with a bow and rescued by helicopter about an hour after the fire was reported. Almost immediately and repeatedly, they interviewed him over the course of the several weeks while firefighters battled the blaze.
After multiple interviews and a promise from investigators that they would keep his name out of the media for as long as they could, he acknowledged having a lighter, starting a fire and cooking a meal, according to the affidavit. He burned trash from his backpack, but some of the embers blew uphill and set the brush on fire, he allegedly told investigators in a handwritten statement.
"The terrain was almost vertical, so I physically couldn't put it out," he wrote. "The wind was blowing up the canyon hard enough to almost blow my hat off."
He later recanted, but investigators said a man who drove Emerald to pick up his truck after the fire began said Emerald acknowledged setting a campfire that got out of control.
Emerald, a resident of Columbia, a town in the Sierra Nevada foothills, is also charged with lying to a federal agent. He has not been arrested, and prosecutors said no court date has been set for his arraignment.
Authorities previously said the wildfire was started by an illegal fire set by a hunter, but they withheld the hunter's name pending further investigation. In the affidavit, investigators said Emerald was concerned about community retaliation if his name got out.
"The Rim Fire was one of the largest in California history and caused tremendous economic and environmental harm," U.S. Attorney Benjamin Wagner said in a written statement. "While those harms cannot be undone, today we have brought criminal charges relating to the cause of the fire."
The charges were the result of an investigation by the U.S. Forest Service and the Tuolumne County district attorney's office, Wagner said.

Paperman is unique in that most of the lighting was placed in the hands of the artist painting that shot, as a result, EVERY shot is individually designed. Some were easy since the crazy awesome Jeff Turley would have a key, others we'd just kind of go with it. Personally, I loved this approach because it gave me a chance to explore lighting scenarios appropriate for the scene and a little for my own satisfaction. I prefer black and white work since color is not my strong suit, so this was a lot of fun for me.
We also tried to paint characters in all our scenes, because that would serve as a value guide for the final frame.

What people say about Oakley Men's GasCan Sunglasses,Matte Black/Ice Iridium Polarized,55 mm?
"Excellent Sun glasses"My Gascans arrived a couple of days ago. They looked even better in person than the pictures on amazon. I was very pleased when took them out the box. They came earlier than the vendor stated, would definately buy from this seller again. Perfect fit, very comfortable, and good coverage of sun blocking. I love the tint on the lense,they really brighten everything,and are great for cutting down on glare and contrast. The bronze is not to dark either. These are large and have somewhat bling styling, maynot be for everyone. One of the reviews I read earlier said that they didnt fit,but he stated that he was an average size guy. Well Oakley states that they are made for large melons. They make a Gascan small,that are styled a little diferently,and fit a little tighter. I would suggest to anyone to go to the mall and try on a pair before ordering. Sunglasses are like shoes,they all fit differently.

The Broken GOP System and Breaking the Minority Barrier
Today I will be writing from the heart! I won't provide any links, map, or diagrams. This is just strictly my own personal views.
I have tried to figure out how we have lost focus as Conservatives of this Nation. Where are we going wrong???? What is it that the Democrats are doing that we are not???? Why people are attracted the Democrat Party even though deep down they are Conservative minded??? It can't be just the "Entitlement Mentality"…… Many other people come to me asking these questions as well.
About 2 weeks ago I decided to go into the "bottom level" of Politics and voluntarily signed up to be a Precinct Committeeman of my Local GOP Legislative District. I was in absolute shock at what I found. There is so much in-fighting going on, people deciding who moves up and who doesn't, and no one following any rules or Bylaws. People are railroading other people out simply because they don't agree on Social Issues, meetings that come to violence at times because of differences. People (Libertarians, Liberty Minded, or just people the "Old Guard Republicans" disagree with), being told that they need to go back to their splinter parties or the Democrat Party. There were even smear campaigns against each other when it came to their own election process.
When I went there I went in ready to work, but you can't work in a system that is failing and expect to get anywhere, especially where the people do not want to work together towards one common goal. I feel as if I stay with my local LD, it would be like banging my head up against a brick wall. In fact, the meetings I attended and the various GOP and LD Pages on Facebook gave me a whole new perspective and it was very disturbing. I cannot honestly tell anyone much less minorities that the GOP is the place for them.
It is sad to say, but after how things went and are going, I can't honestly say one positive thing about the GOP; and that's a first for me. Many folks don't know, but I am a political radio guest speaker on radio stations all across our Country. I have been on CBS Radio with Dan Rhea on Nightside and Grassroots Radio out of Colorado to name a few. I have been putting off going on air since my local LD meeting. I'm also a political writer and even have a book out. My stuff has been featured on Red White and Blue news, Herman Cain PAC, enidnews.com, rightlinksblogs.com, amplify.com, The Conservative Praetorian, the Rowdy Republican, and many other places. I have been a political advisor to many people as well. I have always been one to say that the Republican Party is not as bad as people think it is. That is accepting of everyone no matter your age, sex, or color….That it is Conservatives Core Values, Morals, and Ideology that matters… But now….. I'm not so sure about that…… I have even put off writing on The Last Civil Right up until now, because I really don't have anything positive to say about the GOP right now.
As in most Black families I was "born into" the Democrat Party. By the time I could carry things, I was helping out in various functions (They recruit very young in the Democrat Party), as I got older the responsibilities grew greater as most of my family are heavily involved in the Democrat Party. I have been to numerous meeting, events, and even Conventions of the Democrat Party growing up. It was only until I got out on my own, joined the Navy, and experienced the world for myself, did I choose to switch parties.
When I first switched parties I switched to being a Republican. I attended a few of their functions but eventually stopped because I felt extremely unwelcome. The few events that I did attend, no one talked to me, they all looked at me like "what is she doing here", and I would sit by myself in the back. If anyone did talk to me it was because I initiated the conversation. They would be very quick in replying to me then they would walk off very rapidly like there was a fire in the room or like I had some kind of contagious disease to get back to their cliques.
I then went on to switch my party affiliation to being an Independent just so I could have my Conservative views, yet remain apart from the people who didn't seem like they wanted me to be a part of them. Imagine how hard that is, to not be accepted in your own community because of your Conservative views, and then be felt left out by the people whose views you do for the most part agree with. I was an Independent up until I switched my affiliation in order to become a Committeeman.
I had chosen to remain an Independent up until I chose to become a Committeeman, because I do not like the dirtiness of politics on either side of the fence, but I thought I may be able to help in fixing this broken GOP system and breaking the minority barrier. To me, things should be straight forward. Either you are a Conservative or you are a Liberal. Not to what degree you are of either. It should not matter whose friends with whom, who you think is a Libertarian or not Republican enough, or what age or sex you are. The only things that should matter as a whole are Limited Government, Moral Fabric of the Nation, Fiscal Responsibility, Personal Responsibility, Rules of Law, National and State Sovereignty, and getting good Candidates in office. Everything else like Social Issues is secondary and should be handled as such.
When you lose focus on the bigger picture, you allow room for failure of the system, like the mess the GOP is in now. When you are in an organization as big as this, NO ONE is going to agree on everything all of the time. They must learn to come together under a Big Umbrella and strive for the same BASIC thing if you are to begin to defeat the Democrat Party!!! Roberts Rules and Bylaws are a way of keeping this organization together as ONE because no one agrees with each other on every topic all of the time! They MUST be followed in order to maintain a healthy organization that is as big as this. I had one lady tell me she has NEVER read the Bylaws or Roberts Rules of Order, and she's a long time Committeeman.
Minorities already feel like they don't belong in the GOP and being a minority person, I can understand why……. That is why I chose to remain an Independent for so long. Minority Conservatives are already cast out of their own Communities and from the looks of things as they are now; the GOP is not equipped or ready for them either. The way I get treated at most GOP functions, most minority people would have already run. That is why you have separate party groups like Hispanic Republicans and Black Republicans. They don't feel a part of the regular GOP, yet they consider themselves Republican because of their Conservative views and ideology. I however am more head strong and don't get my feelings hurt as easily as most.
Do you know no one walked up and talked to me when I first went into my Local GOP meeting? It was only until I initiated conversation did people say something. Eventually some of the LD Leadership introduced me to a few people and they just looked at me in disdain and were very snotty and arrogant. I went to my local LD meeting with another Committeeman; she introduced me to a few people before we made it inside, but once inside it was a whole new ball game when it came to the people.
I know many Committeemen in other States as well. In fact one of our Co-Authors of the Last Civil Right is out of Illinois. She is a Republican and is Eric Holder's cousin, so you can imagine the flack she takes! She is a Committeeman and see's the same things I have, as have many other Minority people throughout the GOP……. So this is not just a small problem for the GOP, it is a big one! It pretty much leaves us Minority Conservatives displaced and disenfranchised…. We are cast out by our own communities for being Conservatives and yet minorities are still not fully accepted within the GOP……..
I myself am thinking I may switch back to being an Independent and better to serve elsewhere where the people actually get along, focus on the bigger picture, and want to work….. I'm beginning to think that working with my local LD is not my places for helping with change. It looks as if it may be too far gone and no one knows what they are doing. My local LD, other LD's in AZ, and the GOP LD's across the Nation; are not a good face to bring anyone into in its current condition.
I guess what people in the GOP are failing to understand is, the bottom of the rung is most people's entry way into Politics (be it the Republican side or the Democrat side) and if it is corrupt, non-accepting, and chaotic; people will run for the hills! I do not think I can bring people (much less minorities) into an organization that eats their own. In fact, they are giving the Democrats the ammunition to call us minority Conservatives "Tokens" (and other foul names) to the GOP, making it a harder road for those who are already Conservative; and pushing away any who even think about coming out as a Conservative.
Early on I had been told I need to watch what I say and watch the people I associate with by various groups within the group in my local LD. I was told by several other PC's that their paperwork was "lost" by the "powers that be" simply because they didn't like them for one reason or another and they had to wait and be elected as a PC just to be able to be able to work in the LD. I had already heard through the grapevine that my paperwork as a PC was going to be stalled or "lost" this time around, because some of the people on the Executive Committee don't like me already. Wow, that didn't take long! I heard this news from people within my local LD and some that aren't even in my LD. Amazing how news travels…..
Things like that are appalling. I guess they are not as open to having Minority Members or new Conservative Members for that matter in the GOP as they say they are, after all, they're already trying to railroad their own out. They really should be more up front when they have people signing up to be a PC. Maybe put it on the PC informational flyers that in order to be a PC you have to think and be a certain way, and give a detailed listing of how you are supposed to look, be, and think to be a part of "their" GOP. The "powers that be" in my local LD and others in the GOP LD's are going to have to understand at some point that, people come to the GOP voluntarily. They can also leave voluntarily too. If they continue to do things the way they are now, there will be no one left…….
So as to what I think is the GOP's major problem is…..
The Democrats are more focused and accepting than the GOP is over-all. Being "born" Democrat, I know this well. They are able to put "petty" differences aside and focus on the big picture and a common goal. They accept everyone and don't care whether you are Black, White, Brown, Red, Blue, Green or Purple. They are all in lock-step in one common goal and that is to defeat the Republican/Conservatives at all costs. When they put forth people in their party, take notice, they pick ONE and stand behind that person in UNISON!
The GOP picks 3 or 4 and then argues as to who is a Rhino, the more Conservative or a "real" Republican. I do understand that people want to put the best candidates in place. Take Romney for instance, a lot of Conservatives did not want Romney and felt as if he was being rammed down their throats. They expressed their feelings on this all over social media outlets as well. I myself am guilty of this as I said I didn't have Romney in mind when he was picked but I would support him as he was the GOP Nominee on my Facebook Page. Tell me how many times did you hear a Democrat say "I didn't want Obama, he's not Democrat enough for my tastes"??? Yes, exactly!!! Said 1 democrat, NEVER!!! Get the point yet???
The Democrats are basking in glory right now! They think it's funny how the GOP eats its own and divides themselves. It makes their jobs a lot easier. Even at the bottom rung of the GOP you see the division between Conservatives. I just recently had a woman in my local LD tell me she didn't like the candidate I advised during his campaign (who won in a Democrat held District by the way) because "he talks to everyone (even Democrats) so he's leaning too far left and is not a real Republican". How do you expect to win hearts and minds if you close yourself off to everyone in your community and only talk with people "like-minded"???? It's no wonder the candidate who she was the campaign manager for is getting "frozen out" by the GOP at higher levels.
You cannot forget who you represent when you take office. Not only are you there to represent your Party, but you are also there to represent your community as well. Often you can change someone's mind about the GOP and Conservatives by being open to hearing them out and talking with them. You can't accurately judge someone or put someone down, if you don't know where they are coming from and why they hold their views or ideology. Listening to them does not mean you are changing your morals, ideology, or political stance, but at the very least you are showing that you are personable and willing to reach across the aisle and try to work with people. A lot of people would do better for themselves to learn from that concept.
Many people don't want to hear what I have had to say, and some may even get mad. To tell you the truth, I really don't care if you get mad, I'm mad as hell too! This is not how the Conservative Movement should be!!! I've grown up in Politics and know a lot about how things are supposed to work, imagine being a fresh face to it and how one might react to the things I have described above!!! You would think I was talking about Democrats, but instead it was Conservatives!!!
The GOP has a long way to go if they want to defeat the Democrats. Until they can come together under one big banner and put their pettiness aside, they will not be an effective opponent against the Left. They will have to figure out a way to encompass all ages, Conservative ideologies, racial backgrounds, monetary backgrounds, religious backgrounds, and even sexes; if they are to be successful against the Democrat Party. It they don't, there will be more Conservative minded 3rd Parties popping up and it will eventually lead to the GOP's demise.
In conclusion of my from the heart rant, I will leave you all with a quote from a song made by Depeche Mode:
"You can't change the world
But you can change the facts
When you change the facts
You change points of view
We change points of view
You make change a vote
And when you change a vote
You may change the world…."

The dozenth pack in the blaster.
Brian Schneider - I don't think I've ever seen a baseball card of a catcher practicing.
Chase Headley (Black Border) - If I were a Padres fan, I would certainly have a camo binder.
Tiger Woods (20th Anniversary) - 1) What a bad picture of Tigerian triumph. 2) I hate cards from other sports. The first person to say they want them can have all three of my 20th anniversary cards. The other two are Magic Johnson and the International Space Station.
Grady Sizemore (Moments) - The more I see of these Moments cards, the sillier I think they are. Grady had a nice game this day. A homer, a stolen base, four RBI. Someone has a game like that every single day. Why make a card of this one?
Braden Looper - I tried to think of something nice to say about this card. I failed. My scanner seemed to get tired of the card quickly as well.
Tim Redding - Dramatic lighting FTW.

I have client1 with all of its stuff and then this new site is supposed to be in client3 but client3 is no where to be found at all. Any ideas what I need to fix... I edited one ispconfig file that has the mysql password in it to access but I am not sure if there is anything else I am supposed to change.

Here are some fact and figures:
- 62% (that's six in ten) of online citizens now use social media.
- Facebook has 1 billion registered users and is still growing, mostly in developing countries.
- China has the most people online – 456 million (only 34% of population).
- And nearly 1 in every 5 minutes spent online is now spent on social networking sites.
The business case for using social media in communications is clear: Social media is faster, often cheaper and, for the most part, offers a better way to connect. For communicators, social media is (or should be) an intrinsic part of every campaign or project.
The very same business case could also be made for policy makers. Using the right tools at the right points in the policy making process can be truly transformational, particularly as social media continues to grow and spread. So how does social media fit within the policy cycle? The first part of the answer lies in knowing your audience (more about this in my next blog). The second part of the answer is ensuring that the citizen feedback loop is properly managed so that those who have given feedback continue to remain involved and engaged.
The process for policy making looks something like this.
(Source: www.parliament.uk)
Clearly, the tasks at each part of the policy cycle could be done using social media tools. For example; developing a rationale for policy changes could be done via an online forum or crowd sourced on an open platform; public forums could be held on Facebook or using Google Hangouts; data analysis can be done via social media management tools. These are only some of the ways which social media tools can be used as part of the policy cycle. Depending on the age of the audience, location and mobile penetration, it might be only one specific type of social media tool, or might be a combination of any number of these tools.
In the last two years, we've seen countries like Tanzania and Ghana use social media tools and approaches to collect feedback on their constitutions. In 2012, Iceland took an even more inclusive approach in using social media as part of their policy cycle and used Facebook to crowdsource provisions to its new constitution.
So what should governments focus on when using social media within the policy cycle? The first step is ensuring that social media tools and mobile is embedded in government processes. As I wrote in my last post, this means that the focus must now move towards building capacity in digital engagement so that policy officials understand the opportunities and risks that these low cost tools offer and how they can work alongside more traditional approaches. Just as importantly, policy makers should also be able to confidently use these tools to make draft strategies and policies available for comment and discussion. The key point here is not every policy response needs to be a formal written one – what matters is that audiences can explore what the options are and indicate their support in whatever ways that suit them best.

With no major shake-ups in the Chestnut Hill College women's tennis program, it should be pretty much business as usual for the Griffins, although the crew now has an additional year of experience and is hoping to improve its fortunes within the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
Junior Nastia Shcherbakova will be back in the first singles spot, and other top contenders are sophomore Kelly Dennis and juniors Maria Parapouras and Danielle Knott. Shcherbakova and Parapouras add some international flavor, the former a native of Belarus, while the later hails from Australia.
In the East Region of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), Shcherbakova was ranked as high as fifth last season, and Dennis was named Rookie of the Year. In addition to playing singles, they were partners in the first doubles flight throughout the season.
Junior Gina Doherty and sophomore Olivia Stephenson are the other returning players for head coach Albert Stroble, who was named CACC Coach of the Year last year. His now-familiar assistants are Drew Silverman and Chestnut Hill Academy graduate Ryan Gargullo.
Griffins freshman Alexis Puhl didn't have to travel nearly as far to attend CHC as most of her teammates; the Girls High graduate grew up in Roxborough. She was part of a high school doubles combo that won the Philadelphia Public League championship, and she helped her team reach the finals of the PIAA District 12 team tournament.
Another talented rookie is Morgan Oeschle from Coopersburg, Pa., just above Quakertown.
"She needs to make the adjustment to college tennis," Stroble said. "but just in terms of her strokes she's as good as anyone we have."
The Griffins' skipper sees Concordia College of suburban New York and Goldey Beacom of Wilmington, De. as the heavy hitters within the conference. They're likely to have a healthy complement of talented foreign players, as will non-league opponents such as Rider University and Queens College.
Last season, CHC put up a record of 13-9 overall and 5-3 in conference play. Off the court, Shcherbakova, Dennis, and Parapouras earned All-Academic Team honors from the ITA, leading the Griffins to a team grade-point average of 3.34.

SEATTLE — The green-and-white ferry pulled away from the docks and churned across Puget Sound, leaving behind Seattle's waterfront. Passengers stood in the breeze on the deck or gazed out of the windows at the distant, snow-covered bulk of Mount Rainier.
Then the lights inside flickered, the engine stalled and the ferry was adrift with more than 400 people onboard.
The July 29 breakdown was the start of a tough summer for the nation's largest ferry system, which hauls about 23 million passengers — commuters, locals and tourists alike — among the islands, peninsulas and mainland cities of western Washington state.
Officials are wondering whether the series of problems is just coincidence, or a more troubling sign of how deeply the state has cut into a transportation system that is a major economic driver and lifeline for many communities.
"The term 'fragile' has come up many times," said Washington State Ferries spokeswoman Marta Coursey. "We're OK, as long as everything works 24-7 and there are no major mishaps."
After the ferry Tacoma stalled near Bainbridge Island, another ferry diverted to help, pulling it away from shore until two tug boats could bring it into the dock.
A few days later, smoke in the engine room of another vessel prompted the captain to have everyone don life jackets — the first time in recent memory such an order had been given.
Last week, a ferry returned to the dock at Bremerton after the captain realized crews had allowed onboard an extra 484 people, many of them Seattle Seahawks football fans on their way to an exhibition game.
Personnel issues are also posing challenges. The ferry system has been without a director since the last one left in April. It says it needs dozens more employees. Sailings can wind up being canceled when workers call in sick, because the agency is so short-staffed there's sometimes no one to cover. The Coast Guard won't let the vessels depart without adequate crews.
Another top executive, operations director Steve Rodgers, has been on administrative leave for undisclosed reasons. His son, a former ferries ticket seller, is appealing his termination for taking $529 from a work account.
A human-resources consultant wrote that the handling of his case smacks of nepotism. Unlike some prior incidents of theft by ferries workers, the matter was not referred to law enforcement.
State Sen. Curtis King, a Republican who co-chairs the Senate's Transportation Committee, said mechanical failures can be expected in an aging fleet and trouble him less than the overloading of the ferry Cathlamet.
The boat's capacity was 1,200, but crews thought it was 1,600. A total of 1,684 were allowed on.
"We need to figure out what's going on and who's running the ferry system and how many of these problems are preventable," he said. "This system is critical to thousands of people, and it's part of our highway system."
Transportation Department officials said the spate of incidents was unprecedented and unfortunately timed, with other ferries already out of service for maintenance. But they also note that the ferries remain reliable.
As of mid-August, the vessels had completed 99.5 percent of their scheduled sailings this year — same as last year.
Gov. Jay Inslee has nevertheless directed the Transportation Department to come up with a plan for improving reliability.
Washington State Ferries operates 10 routes, including to British Columbia, with 22 vessels, some of which date back to the 1950s. It has an operating budget of $242 million, with fares covering 70 percent.
It's been without a sustainable source of money since voters cut the state's motor-vehicle excise tax to $30 in 1999. That forced the ferries system to raise fares, cut service and reduce costs by more than $40 million per year.
One new 144-car vessel has been delivered this year, with two more on order.
Rep. Drew Hansen, a Bainbridge Island Democrat who takes the ferry to get to his job at a Seattle law firm, wound up stuck in Seattle for hours after the Tacoma stalled. He was most frustrated with what he considered a lack of communication from the ferry system, but said overall it's reliable.
"We still depend on the ferries to get to our jobs, sporting events, family engagements or whatever, and that's not going to change," he said.
