- Description
AP Racing's brake kits offer the ultimate in braking power and technology and have been developed with the benefit of AP Racing's unparalleled experience in motorsport. These kits have been designed for everyday road use and weekend track use. They will reduce braking effort and give more responsive late braking confidence when used on the track. They also resist fade after repeated high speed stops, but are still able to cope with day to day motoring.
All kits are designed to bolt directly to the original set-up, this kit will however require aftermarket 18" wheels.
Please note that the kits supplied by us are genuine AP Racing kits and should not be confused with other cheaper kits that contain many parts from an unknown source and quality.Brake Kit Contents
Brake Calipers: The CP6628 brake calipers used in these kits are derived from a competition brake caliper, using a lightweight aluminium alloy body fitted with the latest aluminium alloy pistons. All AP performance road calipers use conventional seals in conjunction with a dirt seal and are finished with a black PTFE based paint coating which is impervious to normal brake fluids and high brake temperatures. Optional red calipers are also available at extra cost.
Caliper Mounting Brackets: All brackets are individually designed for each application in either hard anodised aluminium or steel. The brackets ensure accurate location of the calipers making installation straight forward.
Brake Discs: The discs used are from the same family as those used in the most extreme racing conditions. This kit contains 343 x 28mm (48 vane) curved groove discs (part number CP4914-940CG8 & CP4914-941CG8).
Mounting Bells: To prevent heat distortion and stress cracking, the special cast iron discs are mounted on lightweight aluminium alloy bells which hard anodised for durability. The bells allow for the tiny amount of flexing required to avoid distortion and also lower the weight of the disc assembly. Each mounting bell is specifically designed for the application.
Brake Pads: This kit is supplied with Ferodo DS2500 pads. These are ideally suited for all round performance road use.
Brake Hoses: Goodridge TUV approved steel braided hoses with nylon armour protection are supplied with each kit.
Fixings: Each kit contains a comprehensive installation guide and list of tightening torques. All mounting bolts & nuts are of high tensile steel and come with a sachet of Loctite 262. Shim washers are supplied in each kit to allow accurate positioning of the caliper on the brake disc, and allow for tolerance variations in different hubs/uprights.
Brake Fluid: Included are 2 bottles of AP Racing Formula Dot 5.1 Brake & Clutch Fluid.Application:

I've only very recently even thought about marriage as a personal possibility in the next five years (made especially acute last weekend by a bachelor party), and I'm quite fortunate both financially and physically. The biggest sacrifice for me would be the devotion of time required. I perpetually feel strapped for time as it is--the plunge would be life-changing, and force me to abandon a lot of the pursuits that make me happy (at least while I'm engaged in them) that I throw myself into now. In short, I am one of those young men Savage is talking about.
The evidence that married people express higher levels of happiness than unmarried people do (especially among men, in contrast to the Game narrative) is pretty well established. But what about when the people in question are include only those in their late teens and twenties?
We could get into a discussion over what constitutes true happiness and field the legitimate criticism that self-reports set to a numerical scale are a shallow way to measure it. Also, I'm not controlling for other variables because trying to disentangle the marriage question from the social landscape surrounding it is fraught with an arbitrariness that allows for a range of preferred conclusions to be spun out. Present the datum as is, and the phrase "AE reports, you decide" applies. Yeah, I still like to intersperse a bit of my own commentary here and there, but it's not my starting point. I'm being entirely honest when I say that I cobble together most of a post before I even look at the data.
That said, the GSS reliably asks a simple question on self-perceptions of happiness levels. It is measured on a three point scale, inverted here so that higher scores indicate greater happiness. The following table shows average (mean) scores for men and women, by marital status, between the ages of 18-29 at the time of their participation in the survey. For contemporary relevance, only responses from 2000 onward are included (n = 2,305):
|Aged 18-29
|Married men
|Married women
|Unmarried men
|Unmarried women
About one-quarter of Americans under the age of 30 are married, and despite the limitations it places on the individual, people who have made the plunge express higher levels of happiness than the unmarried majority does. One standard deviation is .62, so the differences in self-reported happiness between the married and unmarried are significant--it's half of a SD among men and nearly half of one among women.
My interpretation is that a family gives a person something to devote his life to in a way that must ultimately be more fulfilling than serial pleasure seeking (or novelty seeking, challenge seeking, glory seeking, etc) does. My aunt just sent me an old picture of my dad holding me as an infant in a rocking chair. He's almost exactly the same age in the photo as I am now. Looking at him, I can't help but feel he deserved to be happier at that age than I am today.
GSS variables used: MARITAL(1)(2-5), HAPPY, SEX, AGE, YEAR(2000-2010)

Griffey falls into the category of an old player with an injury history, just the type GM Omar Minaya has been criticized of pursuing. Even so, he hit 18 homers with 71 RBI in 490 at-bats, so there's still life in his bat.
Griffey has never been enamored with New York, but that was the Yankees. Griffey would only cost the Mets money, and a lot less than they'd pay for Manny Ramirez or Adam Dunn. The best thing is they won't have to dip into their farm system.
So, if they want a rental bat for a year, Griffey could be a viable alternative. He doesn't make the Mets younger, but improves their bench and outfield for a minimal cost.

President Lundquist's
statement to
the student body
Editor's note: This is the statement President Lundquist read
in chapel last Monday.
Last Friday I took an action unprecedented in my eighteen
years at Bethel by lifting the suspension placed upon three
of our students and the probationary status assigned to
three others because of suspected involvement in the use
of marijuana. Instead I have suggested a counseling program
which is in the process of being carried out.
I have taken this action after consultation with both
the Dean of Students and the Chairman of the Faculty-Student
Review Committee. I want to say that the procedures
followed by the Dean and the Committee are consistent with
past practice at Bethel. Usually they have worked well.
When there has been disagreement it has been over the
appropriateness of the punishment and not the validity of
the charges. In this instance, however, the necessity to.
maintain the confidential nature of the sources of the evidence
in order to protect the informants made it difficult
for those involved to defend themselves. I am impressed
that the faculty and student committee that reviewed the
evidence felt it weighty enough to justify a serious penalty.
I have not attempted to reopen the hearings or to listen to the
detailed evidence. Thus I have no judgment on guilt or
innocence. I simply feel that our normal operating procedures
have proved inadequate for this situation and, therefore,
that it is unwise to carry out the recommendation. I hope
that the counseling procedures being initiated with the students
involved will enable us to be more informed and to be
more helpful. I want to say that the issue of racism has not
been a factor in this situation. Both blacks and whites have
been affected. The Dean of Students and the Chairman of
the review committee have been conspicuous on our campus
as foremost proponents for opening our facilities to minority
I would like to appeal to our faculty and students that in
this setting where charges and countercharges have been
made we close ranks as Christian brothers and sisters. Let us
surround these students with our friendship and love. Let
us continue to seek the truth. Let us be grateful for everyone
concerned about the Christian stance of Bethel and her testimony
to the world. Let us uphold our historic position on
the marijuana issue itself with clarity and courage. Let us
use this experience - traumatic as it is for both the students
involved and for the students and teachers who have been
seeking to evaluate the situation - to bring us together as a
community in a fresh and vital way under the guidance of
the Holy Spirit.
In the meantime, I would like to reaffirm the standard
of personal conduct for all members of the Bethel community
that is presented on pages 17 and 18 of the current catalogue.
The use of marijuana - however much it may be accepted
by segments of America's youth culture - is contrary to the
ideals of Bethel. We are opposed to it ·because of the weight
of medical evidence still arrayed against it, because of its
frequent involvement in a chain that for many has led to the
use of hard drugs, and because it is contrary to the law of
our land. We recognize, however, that a social standard of
this nature is maintained in a campus community not so much
by legal compulsion as by voluntary group support. We need
the enthusiastic backing of all our students to maintain
Bethel's stance on this issue. In my judgment, the very
future of Bethel will depend upon its Christian distinctiveness
in the field of higher education. As a part of the conservative,
evangelical church there can be no place for the use of marijuana
by the people at Bethel, lest our distinctiveness become
fuzzy and our witness to the world compromised. If there
are students among us who wish to use marijuana, I would
ask them in all seriousness to leave Bethel voluntarily now
for some other kind of college where this may not be as
serious a matter. Abstinence from the use of marijuana is a
part of Bethel's life style. Please do not seek to be a student
here unless this is a guideline you have chosen for your life.
The standard aplies to both whites aI:ld blacks. There is
only one standard at Bethel at this point and it applies both
on and off campus. Proved violations must be penalized and
will be.
At a very practical level, I am going to request all of our
dormitory residents to refrain during the balance of this
year from burning incense in their rooms. There is nothing
wrong with incense, of course, except that it isn't equally
appreciated by everyone who has to smell it in a dormitory.
However, the odor of certain types of incense has been a
cause of suspicion that it has been used to cover up the odor
of marijuana. While incense is perfectly innocent in itself,
it would be helpful in this particular year to eliminate it
altogether from our dormitory rooms.
Thank you for your help, for your concern, and for
your prayers, and your part in keeping Bethel distinctive
as an evangelical Christian college committed to the purpose
of Jesus Christ in our world.
President Carl H. Lundquist
New campus financing
~a continuing adventure'
but still moving on
All system are "go" ... for four of the six units of the
college academic complex on the Arden Hills campus.
The "adventure of faith" in college building continues
and the last week in January construction continued on schedule.
Plans ·are formulating now to occupy the units by September
1 and to begin the 1972-73 academic year in Arden
In a December announcement, President Carl Lundquist
"The Lord has not allowed us to get a glimpse of the
whole year ahead at once but has been pleased to let us see
about a week at a time. But that has been enough.
"This has made the college relocation a continuing adventure
of faith,' t):J.e president said, "Bricks and mortar and
blueprints have been mixed with prayer and hope and commitment
to our sovereign God."
The Board of Regnts authorized the issuance of $6 million
in bonds at its December meeting. The issue was approved at
8112 % and will be refinanced in four years. McMahon and
Hoban, Inc., of St. Louis are handling bond sales.
Harvey DeVries, vice president of public affairs, said
that $1,080,000 is expected from the Mission: SHARE! program
of the Baptist General Conference; $2 million from the
sale of the Snelling Avenue campus; and that $500,000 in current
pledges also can be applied toward college relocation.
This reduces the principle to $2.5 million to be raised, he said.
Government loans are being sought for dormitory housing.
History I English departments
recommended initial firing
by AI Cooper
Most people on campus are now
aware that the contract of Jon Fagerson
is not being renewed. Reactions
are varied, but many of the students
seem in disagreement. Over the past
few days I decided to seek out some
student reactions.
These are the results of my research:
"I started learning to express myself
more freely than I had ever been
able to in Jon's class and consequently
I found that the fear of failure
and the pressure of grades diminished.
I discovered a more balanced approach
to something that had appeared rather
ominous at first. Jon showed me
this." -Jan Sperlazzo.
"Jon Fagerson is an educator, not an
indoctrinator ... He knows what it
is to be an educator and a human
being at the same time. He has been
ruble to relate to us so-called misfits."
-Odell Johnson
"He's human, he's a person, and surely
an educator, he's taught me more
than any other prof could do."
-Steve Scroggins
"Mr. Fagerson has taught me informality;
to be able to wear a suit
and green suede tennis shoes to clas."
-Barb Lindberg
"I had Jon Fagerson for Survey of
English Literature. I received nothing
from him as a teacher. We both existed
on different wave-lengths and I had
trouble communicating. I have a great
deal of respect for him as a person
and know that he relates to and
helps many students in ways that
would not apply to me."
-Joel Goff
"In his unique approach to literature
Jon has taugh me to view a work
not simply as a mind exercise or a
study in the 'culture', but to view
literature as an attempt for man to
communicate with man across all
barriers including time. He's also
made me work on my own and self
motivation is beautiful. When a teacher
can inspire you with a subject
and learn 'with' you instead of teach
'at' you that is beautiful, too."
-Paul Lindahl
"Jon Fagerson is what I know of him,
a man with feeling, and has something
good and exciting to give the
young people he comes in contact
with." -Steve Payne.
"Jon Fagerson cares about people.
and has the ability to relate to people
as people. There are only about three
or four profs in this school who care
as much as Jon." -Phil Swanson

by Judy Harrington
What were the factors involved in
the (release? dismissal? firing? ) of
Assistant Professor of English Jon
Fagerson and Assistant Professor of
History Dick Ward? President Lundquist
said (in the last issue of the
Clarion) it was due to "adjustment
in departmental teaching loads and
the need to maintain economic balance."
But many students are questioning
if there weren't other factors
involved as well.
According to Fagerson, he was first
contacted about his release on Nov. 23
last fall, in a talk with Dean Olson.
"When I talked with the dean, he
explained to me the financial bind the
college is in and that the English Department
had to be cut somewhere.
I guess it's generally felt that I don't
fit in with the 'aims and goals of
Bethel College'-those are the words
that were used-so I was the one to
be cut," Fagerson said.
He mentioned three specific events
that may have influenced the decision.
First, was his involvement in
the Cambodia "theater bit" demonstration
held on campus after the
Cambodia invasion in 1970. Secondly,
he noted an incident in his "Alienation"
class a year ago last fall. In
one small group session, a student
representing a minority group spoke
to the class, challenging students by
asking them if they would extend
their friendship to minority people,
regardless if those people smoke,
drink, etc. Mr. Fagerson said he ended
up agreeing with the student who
spoke, that friendship should be extended
to all people, regardless of
their actions, on the basis of their
humanity. One girl in the Alienation
class became upset by the situation
and got in contact with her pastor,
who contacted the dean, who in turn
contacted Fagerson and talked things
over with him. The last incident
Fagerson cited was an argument he
had with a Marine recruiter in the coffeeshop.
Fagerson commented to the
recruiter that he didn't feel Christ
would have his followers teaching

by Bob Miko
Last week was a very rough week for many people. All
of a sudden out of nowhere, people were being expelled
for the use of that well known weed. Many words were said,
feelings were hurt and a lot of dirty water was washed
under the bridge. Now that is all in the past, President Lundquist
has reinstated those who were expelled and once again
Bethel can become a united campus. Now, we can once again
go comfortably to sleep in our lethargy.
1 was . really amazed to see all those people jump up to
the defense of those accused and how for a brief span of
almost a week, the campus seemed to be interested in something
other than its naval. But as 1 said that was last week.
This week is a "new" week; all that is in the past need not
be dragged over the coals again because this week we are
"Bethel the United!" Let's not let our division in the past
blur our vision of the future. Let us stride boldly into whatever
the future holds for us.
But let's ask ourselves - "What does the future hold
for us?" Does it hold more of the same past from which we
have emerged? Or will it be something radically different?
The reason that 1 am prompted to ask this question is
two-fold. One, the belief that the present is made from the
past and two, that the future is shaped by the present. Now
this may seem very naive at a glance, but how many have
assimilated this thought into our total being?
Again the reason that 1 ask is because last week was once
the present and therefore a direct result of what we did in
the past. The implication of this should be plain to all, but
let me elucidate my point further. That is to say, those of
us who felt that the Student Personel Committee was unjust
in the way they handled the hearing or that the defendants
were unable to properly defend themselves, or that there

were too many "straights" on the committee, where were
we when the Student Senate appointed members to the
committees and made the policies governing this committee?
I don't think we or any of the other students really knew
to what extent they can influence the decisions and policies
of this college. But I suppose it is sometimes easier to
complain about the system rather than do something about
it. You see, that committee was made up before the expulsions,
in the past, and came to the present to make their
decision. So really those of us who are complaining are complaining
to ourselves for not taking action yesterday.
Part two of my position says that tomorrow will be the
product of what we do today. As we read the Letters to the
Editor, we will see who those people are who took the time
to sit down and articulate their position, hoping that tomorrow
might somehow be different from today. Notice how many
really cared. (1 know how hard it is to write a letter to the
editor because first we must have something to say and then
we have to believe in what we're saying.)
But as we know words and letters are not enough. For
tomorrow to be radically different from today, we must make
a radical departure from our actions of yesterday and the
present. This means that we must leave the apathy behind us
and become involved with the issues that shape tomorrow.
Let's take the time to shape our future-"because if we don't,
it will either be shaped for us or it will just be "more of
the same."
There are thirteen committees that shape life here at
Bethel. Each one is begging ·for input from you. For instance,
do you feel that Bethel should allow or not allow nonChristians
to attend? This question is being dealt with in
the Admissions Committee. Do you think Chapel and COllvocation
are a drag? See the Chapel Committee or the Convocation
You see what it amounts to is that if we don't like what's
happening today, it's our own fault. And if we don't want
it to happen again, we must do something about it today. We
do have a say in what goes on around here IF we take the time
to say it. Tomorrow may be better than today.
In the interim, let us be thankful for the action that
President Lundquist took to preserve our viable system of
appeals for change.

The Great American Dating Game
artificial, competitive, shallow,
commercial, hedonistic and utilitarian
by Paul Swanson
The capitalistic value of competition
and consumerism in this country have
overflowed the boundaries of economic
activity and flooded virtually the entire
American way of life. In the arena of
boy-girl relationships in America, the
scene is dominated by a phenomenon
resembling a ritualized form of prostitution
which we might aptly call the
Great American Dating Game. The
spheres of social activity, including dating,
courtship, and marriage have become
fraught with a spirit not dissimilar
to that of the stock exchange. There
are few enterprises as competitive and
consumer oriented as those of the American
date and the market for the opposite
What is the nature of the date? Immediately
it strikes one as being plastic.
The encounter situation is characteristically
false and unrealistic, removed
from the experiences of every day life.
The male asks the female "out" - the
word itself implies a separated situation.
He picks her up and carts her off in his
four wheeled brothel to a fantasy world
and then presumes to make the acquaintance
of a real person. Each person
strives to become what their partner expects
them to be, and both build walls
of self-defense around themselves for
fear of re'jection or being disagreeable.
The experience is usually one of passive
activity, where a couple watches a movie,
becomes a spectator at a sports event,
listens to a concert, or observes a play.
The only response remaining for them-selves
to actively participate in is sex.
Upon returning from the date, either
partner is frequently confronted by a
barrage of questions from his or her
acquaintances. "How much did he spend
on you?" "How much did you get off
her?" "Is she/he cute?" "What kind of
car does he have?" "Will you ask her out
again?" "Will he ask you out again?"
!fhese questions betray the shallow relationship
that often prevails in the dating
situation, which continues until
one rejects the other like an empty beer
can, to be disregarded, ignored, and left
for someone else to pick up, because
the relationship has become "too serious"
or the stream of conversation has
run dry.
What gives rise to such hollow relationships?
Let us turn our attention to
see it reflected in contemporary music
and the advertising media:
"Hello, I love you,
Will you tell me your name?"
The Doors
"One floor below me,
You don't even know me, I love you.
Knock three times and I'll meet you
in the hallway."
"Do you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all
the time."
The Beatles
"If you can't be with the one you love,
Garnet's Standard Service
Love the one you're with."
Steven Stills
What is this "love" they speak of?
It is either a sensual, fleshy, sexy object
to be possessed, or a sentimental,
pseudo-romantic, "Love Story" conception
belonging to a dream world based
only on the celluloid and pulp on which
it is propagated. Either way a member
of the opposit.e sex is considered an object
to be used, and once the sexual or
romantic element has been exploited
there is no further commitment. In any
case, it has no basis in the Christian
ideal of total commitment to one member
of the opposite sex.
Love has become a consumer product
to be bought and sold, advertised and
cheapened. If you are unloved, it is because
you wear the wrong perfume, gargle
with the wrong mouthwash, splash
on the wrong after-shave, sp'ray on the
wrong deodorant, dress in the wrong .fashion,
have ho-hum mouth from chewing
the wrong gum. One eats a mint to
make sure that if he/ she kissed you
once, he/she will kiss you again. The
list is endless. Again the fear of rejection,
the insecurity, the frantic striving
after acceptance even through the
wearing of a mask. Again the prevalEmt
conception of man as an individual who
has no basis for trust beyond the isolated
seLf, who finds no confidence in
the mutual commitment of man and
People have been led to believe that

Release of Fagerson and Ward
questioned by Bethel students
To the editor:
I recall hearing Dr. Lundquist say
something resembling the following in
regard to the new campus: "It isn't the
buildings that make the campus, -
it's the people." Although Bethel is now
located at the old campus, the people
still count. People include students and
faculty, neither of which was allowed to
influence the recent decision to release
Fagerson. WHY NOT?
The economic reason stated as a basis
for this action in Dr. Lundquist's letter
of Feb. 11, is inconsistent in view of
the college's recent spending for the
new campus. And "adjustments in departmental
teaching loads?" Three sections
had to be -formed from the mass
of students who registered for Jon FaFagerson's
Literary Forms cl'ass. His
Alienation class is extremely overcrowded.
It's obvious that the students want Jon.
Isn't that enough to justify the need
for him? (According to Dr. Lundquist's
letter, Jons accredItation is very acceptable.)
Is it possible in a Christian liberal
arts school for "politics" to pervade and
rule where such a fine Christi-an professor
is involved? Is this action a subtle
way of censoring the faculty? Is the
administration attempting to undermine
the student's right to a liberal arts education?
A concerned student,
Thomas A. Steward

To the Editor:
The recent dismissal of two teachers
here at Bethel seems tq me to be a
prime example of misplaced values.
The reason given for their dismissal was
that of economy. Both teachers were
contributing to education - the supposed
function of a college. Yet Bethel
continues to support (monetarily) an intercollegiate
athletic program whose
contribution to the majority of the school
is, at best, entertainment - which is
not the supposed function of a college.
Perhaps it is time some basic policies
were redefined.
Bob Pedersen
tWhat hath
Carl wrought'
To the editor:
A few thoughts regarding the recent
decision by the Student Personnel Committee
and the subsequent reversal of
that decision :
Nine people deliberated together for
eleven hours; they agonized over what
proved to be a very painful resolution.
~ow these students and faculty members
have been told, in effect, that the extent
and sincerity of their efforts are
of no consequence, that their methods
weren't adequate for this "special" case.
It has been proposed that the circumstances
surrounding the decisions of
late were unique, and that our system
has worked well in the past and may
thus be expected ,to work again in the
future. But how many incidents is this
reputation built upon? And isn't it just
as likely that since the system didn't
work this time: it won't work again?
After all, if this situation was special,
what's to prevent succeeding ones from
being special too?
In the case at hand, the committee's
means of discharging its responsibilit.y
were supposedly rendered inoperable
by the impossibility of maintaining the
anonymity of the witnesses, informants,
or whatever. Hence, the decision was
deemed invalid, since it rested on insufficient
evidence. Of course, the committee
members themselves were incapable
of determining what was and was
not sufficient evidence - someone had
to tell them.
What will be the attitudes and responses
of this committee in future incidents
involving marijuana (if, indeed,
such incidents arise)? The committee
has been assured that its methods will be
adequate even though there is no reason
to believe that future incidents will be
any different from the recent one,
which assured them that its methods
were inadequate.
Will this committee devote the same
amount of time and effort to future
problems as it did to this one? I think
it is much more likely that they will
• • • • • •
dispense with the whole procedure and
turn matters over to the police. What
is perhaps the most important function
of the committee - to PfQtect the
student - would then be eliminated.
What hath Carl wrought?

Student Senate
needs to
get senous
To the Editor:
The current talk going on around the
nation and in many schools centers
on national and world politics. Many at
Bethel are beginning ·to catch on and
think seriously of politics now that the
voting age has been set at eighteen. But
my main concern now is not necessarily
national politics, r·ather Bethel' politics,
for it is time again to begin 'thinking
of new ofrficers and senators for the
student body. I am sorry to say that there
is not much interest in or even common
knowledge of Student Senate, and therefore
elections will be a big flop with
no one even caring for who is running
or what the issues will be, as is usually
the case. Oh, of course, some of those
who are running for office will be concerned,
but it is sad that some won't
know why they're running. I guess they
think that there is some kind of prestige
in being a senator in a dead senate that
is respected neither by the administration
nor the student body.
This has been the case for the most
part in our current senate, I am sorry
to say. The only way that I see of making
Senate worthwhile is to have senators
who are knowledgeable about the
current issues on and off campus and
have opinions and resolutions to be
presented to the Senate as well as to
their fellow students. Let me give one
example of the kind of reaction to business
which can be seen in most senate
meetings. In the Senate meeting a
couple weeks ago, the senators had to
be prodded to give their personal opinions
on how convocations should be
planned and structured. That, to me, is
pretty sad, because anyone who attended
convocations certainly has an opinion
of wha<t he liked or didn't like!
Since I have given up on most of
our senators, I would like to turn to
the student body to get on the backs
of their senators, making them produce.
But it is too late to do anything of major
importance now since terms expire in
April. What can be done, though, is to
get some people to run for Senate posi��tions
who are willing to sacrifice the
time to keep informed, and then, in
turn, inform thek fellow students on
issues which affect them as students of
Bethel College. This does take time,
and could (or should) be considered a
part time job-volunteer, of course. (I
could even see, in the next budget, reducing
some stipends and other non-essential
areas and giving stipends to
We need senators who are willing to
stick their noses into some of the things
going on, or not going on, around hereeven
if it is controversial. There is
nothing wrong with Iconstructive controversy
- it sometimes gets people
to think.
If this is not your idea of a student
senate, then 1 vote to disband and am
willing to let the administration run the
school without any organized feedback
from students. In other words, 1 am an
extremist in this area. I want either a
senate that is respected or none at all. I
don't go for this wishy-washy-let's-sitaround-
and-shoot-the-bull-and not make
waves jazz!! We've been this way for too
long, I could see breaking tradition and
doing something!!

more free: the Japanese whose marriage

choose and present someone suitable,
leaving him free of the worries of competition,

says, "I love her jhim, therefore, 1 will
marry her jhim," until this one doesn't
live up to their standards of perfection
or until a newer and better model comes
along? The first is guided by a sense
of commitment, duty and growth; the
second is totally arbitrary, stagnant, emotional,
nihilistic - "falling in love" and
just as easily falling out of "love." The
first sees love as a goal and end in
marriage, the second makes "love" a
prerequisite for marriage. Which is more

~For Heaven's Sake,'
church satire, will be
presented tonight
On Friday evening, Feb. 25, at 8:00
p.m., the P AF A W Theatre will present
the musical revue "For Heaven's Sake'"
in Room 106 on the college campus.
The PAFAW Theatre is made up of
high school and college age students,
with its ministry centered in Park Avenue
United Methodist Church.
"For Heaven's Sake!" was first produced
as part of Park Avenue's summer
program. Because of its enormous success,
the show was revived in the fall
and since that time has toured throughout
the metropolitan area.
Through the use of satire and humor,
"For Heaven's Sake!" comments on the
contemporary church and the Christian.
It is without a doubt one of the finest
Christian musicals ever written. Its marvelous
score, color and fantastic energy
and vitality, make it an unforgettable
entertainment-educational experience.
The production is directed by Steve
Pederson, a former Bethel student and
now a graduate student in Theatre at
the University of Minnesota. In December
of 1970 he directed an original
musical-drama "Greater Love" on the
seminary campus. Bryant Christenson,
accompanist for the Bethel Male Chorus,
is musical director of the show.
Mr. Pederson strongly urges everyone
to see "For Heaven's Sake!". "If you
can't afford a ticket we'll give you
one. This play has something to say
to the entire Bethel community". Tickets
are $.75 in advance and $1.00 at the
door. The production is sponsored by
the Student Senate.
Walter Trobisch
to appear Friday
Editor's note: Mr. Trobisch will speak
in chapel next Friday, March 3.
"Walter and Ingrid Trobisch lead
fascinating lives. About half their time
is spent in a beautiful, secluded alpine
valley in Austria, and the remainder in
conference grounds, churches and hotels
across the continents of Europe, Africa,
North America and even the South
Pacific Islands. Through their many
books, articles and lectureships, Walter
and Ingrid have attained a cosmopolitan
reputation. They have become authorities
on the whole area of marriage, sex,
contraception and personal relations
that hinge on sexuality," writes InterVarsity
Press, publisher of most of the
fruit of the Trobisch pens.
While their home is in Austria where
their five children attend secondary
schools, the Trobisch ministry has
spread over the whole continent of Africa,
and, because of Mr. Trobisch's
books, throughout much of the world.
These books include I Married You, My
Wife Made Me A Polygamist, My Parents
are Impossible, Please Love Me,
Please Help Me, and Love is a Feeling
to be Learned.
Walter Trobisch was born in Leipzig,
Germany in 1923.
After being wounded three times in
Russia during World War II, he began
studies in theology at the University of
Vienna in 1943. The studies were continued
at the universities of Leipzig
and Heidelberg, followed by post graduate
work at the Augustana and Luther
seminaries here in the United States.
In 1952 Mr. Trobisch married an
American, Miss Ingrid HuH, and they
went to Cameroun in Africa, where they
served for ten years as missionaries of
the American Lutheran Church. Their
first task as missionaries was to open
a pioneer station in a Moslem territory
in North Cameroun. This was followed
by assignment to the Cameroun Christian
College, where Mr. Trobisch was
Chaplain, and both he and Mrs. Trobisch
were professors.
Sharpened tongues are cutting at Bethel
by Toni Magnuson
This is how it is with the tongue: small
as it is, it can boast about great things.
Just think how a large forest can be
set on fire by a tiny flame. And the
tongue is like a fire. It is a world of
wrong, occupying its place in our bod- ies
and spreading our existence with the
fire that comes to it from hell itself.
Man is -able to tame and has tamed
all other creatures - wild animals and
birds, reptiles and fish. But no man has
ever been able to tame the tongue. It
is evil and uncont'rollable, full of deadly
poison! We use it to give thanks to our
Lord and Father,and also to curse
our fellow men, created in the likeness
of God! Words of thanksgiving and cursing
pour out from the same mouth.

I'd like to relate a little allegory which

The Apple and the Bird
Once upon -a time, anchored to a
sturdy branch of a fine, young tree, there
was a beautiful shiny red apple. And
this apple wasn't only -beautiful to look
at - ihebest part of the apple was
what he had inside. He was sweet, juicy,
firm and satisfying.
In the tree next door lived Mr. Bird,
the one with the most pleasant, melodious
song in the entire orchard. One day,
while singing his -cheeriest tune, he
noticed ,apple. Mmmmmmm,couid I have
fun with apple, he thoug.ht to himself.
So, Mr. Bird flew over to apple's branch
and began pecking at his shiny red coat,
just a little at a Hme. They weren't
harmful pecks mind you, just tiny penetrating
little pecks in all directions.
"Ouch! You're what's inside me!"
cried apple.
But Mr. lBird paid no atten,tion. He
just kept pecking away at apple between
his joyous songs of praise, until
all that was left of apple was a bitter,
rotting core.

thought. This is how Mr. Muskie and his image appear on the
headlines and in magazine articles.
The Senator from Maine has called the American people
to "A New Beginning" but has forgotten that the old structure
still exists. As a senator, Mr. Muskie is in a position
to manuever thiS' country to a place of new reforms and
new beginnings, yet he chooses to run around the country
neglecting his duty as representative of the people. Since
Mr. Muskie has announced his candidacy he has missed over
67% of the roll calls in the Senate. He has rarely been in
his office as he is entered in twenty-four primaries before
he must consider Californ~a and New York.
Editor's Note: This is a bi-weekly editorial prepared by a
Bethel student. The opinion expressed is his alone, his name
is withheld to protect him from the onslaught of rebuke and
The junior senator denounced Mr. Nixon's eight-point
peace proposal before North Vietnam and the Communists
did. He claimed it was completely unworkable. This has had
serious effects on the Indo-China situation as Mr. Nixon now
has nothing with which to bargain at the peace table because
North Vietnam believes that America cannot be sincere
in her proposal if there is' such dissent among herself. Mr.
Muskie wants a New Begininng, but is not willing to let the
old way solve the problem.
He has created the slogan, "A New Beginning." He calls
for a trust in government. He wants a firm date for the
withdrawal of all United States troops, bombers, and ships.
He seeks a government run by both North and South Vietnam.
He wishes something to be done about the ecological state
this country is in. He is Edmund Sixtus Muskie, junior senator
from Maine.
Mr. Muskie is ·at present the Democratic front runner. He
appears to be doing well in the polls and is generally well
liked by the Democratic populace. He presents himself
as sincere and honest to the American people. His issues seem
to be ,fair and debateable when viewing them without second
Mr. Muskie is indeed a politician. He is willing to cry for
a solution to our problems ,yet when he has the opportunity to
present his own solution or to sit down and work out a
viable solution, he refuses. He would much rather tell the
American people what is' wrong with the system than to
represent the people and offer a cure on their behalf.
Dismissed profs
people to murder, and the discussion
became heated as more people join~
in. Dean Olson came down and cooled
things down.
Who, in effect, made the decisions to
release Fagerson and Ward? Was it
the department's consensus decision?
Was it Dean Olson's? Was it President
Lundquist's? Dean Olson is officially
"taking the rap" for the decisions
on both Mr. Fagerson and Mr.
Ward. But it still doesn't explain who
made the final judgment.
According to President Lunquist,
the recommendations for the release
of both men were made "by the tenured
members of the faculty in consultation
with the dean. The recommendations
were sent to my desk, and I
confirmed them."
"As far as I know, the English
Department merely voted to postpone
the decision," Fagerson said, "and
I know the Dean is taking all the responsibility
for it."
Eng lis h Department Chairman
Chris Weintz said, "I've appreciated
Jon's steady, patient spirit, and the
way he has drawn positive values
from a negative situation. I hope
many of Jon's followers ,will learn
from his example and accept his life."
Dr. Weintz will be leaving the department,
as well, after next year. He
has wanted to resign for the past
Mr. Muskie is a politician, and I fear that politicians
are the cause of many of our nation's problems.
three or four years~ No one will be
hired to replace him, as far as he
knows. The English Department will
have to make do with what they have,
probably alternating courses every
other year.
Dick Ward is not disillusioned about
his being dismissed from Bethel.
"I feel the reasons for my release
were primarily economic and curricular.
The History Department used
to have several large block required
classes which it no longer has, and
the administration has to cut somewhere,"
Mr. Ward said.
He mentioned that others in the department
were flexible, alternating
between the History and Political
Departments, while his specialty was
ancient history. However, Mr. Ward
did express surprise at the willingness
of a Christian college like Bethel
to drop a course like ancient history.
"Undoubtedly I have some unanswered
questions, but I'm turning my
energies now to my dissertation and
a new job," he said.
Mr. Ward has feelers out for teaching
positions at several schools, one
of which is in his native South Carolina.
Mr. Fagerson has feelers out, as
well, one at Metropolitan State College.
"Metropolitan has the kind of organization
I've been pushing for here
for some time-no grades, just contracts,
solid urban social commitment,
and so on," Fagerson explained.
It's obvious that the administration
is in a financial bind. Building
is still going on at the new campus,
money is tight, etc.
Next year, hopefully, Bethel's enrollment
will be up by at least 100
students. This will very possibly create
a strain in the English and History
Departments - especially in the English
Department where not only Professor
Weintz will be leaving, but
Professor Bohlmeyer (for a short
sabbatical), as well. Will additional
help have to be hired? It would
.certainly seem unnecessary trouble
with two suc!l capable men on our
faculty already.

Senator Humphrey defines his tChristianity'
Question: Are you a Christian and what do you consider
a Christian to be?
Senator Humphrey: I am. First of all I respect everyone's
right to hold his own religious convictions. But
it's a fair question and one that ought to be asked. I
consider a Christian one who puts into practice on
earth the kind of compassion, sense of service, love,
and decency which he says in his prayers and reads in
his scriptures.
J've always believed that a man ought to translate
his religious values into political action, and you see
I'm one who believes it's not good enough to beat
your chest over the outrages and injustices that take
place in society. It isn't good enough to have a tear
in your eye for the poor, or to be concerned about the
handicapped. It isn't good enough just to have good
ideas. You have to act! A great spiritual leader once
said the purpose of knowledge is action and I think
that action requires commitment. To be a good Christian
requires commitment. To be a good Jew requires
commitment. To be a good Buddhist requires
commitment. And I would hope that those of
us who profess the Christian faith would remember
that one of the tenets of that faith is that it is better
to minister than to be ministered unto, and that we
be interested in children and we would indeed practice
what we call human dignity. I believe in this very
strongly, but would have to say that, like most mortals,
I fall by the wayside now and then. One of the great
things about religion is that it gives you the chance
to live again.
Reactions vary on fagerson's dismissal
"I have the utmost respect for Jon
Fagerson and his ability to relate to
the 'fringe' element at Bethel. However,
I personally did not benefit
that much from having been in his
class and reacted somewhat adversly
to his approach." -Mark Anderson
"Before my course with Jon Fagerson
I had little interest in being open
to people and in trying to understand
why others act and think as they
do. Openess and humaness radiate
from Mr. Fagerson and it was through
him that I learned to be more aware,
more tolerant of people . . . to be
human . .' - Roger Jahn
"I personally don't know Jon Fagerson,
but I do know a number of students
who do and from them I have
formed some definite opinions. I believe
we definitely need to have professors
who will meet the variety of
needs of the wide range of students
who are admitted into Bethel. Jon
Fagerson has been able to relate and
help meet the needs of some students
who ,couldn't go to other professors
here on campus. On these grounds, I
really believe we need Jon Fagerson
as part of Bethel's faculty."
-Star Friesen
It was interesting to listen to the
variety of students and! their equally
varied opinions. I found there were
very few people who had anything
negative to say about Fagerson and
if they did they still felt he should
remain at Bethel.
Many students are asking if we have
the right to choose our profs or if
it is the right of the administration.
Are the reasons for dismissing Fagerson
the "real" reasons, or are there
some underlying unspoken reasons?
His style of teaching is unique and
of that there is no doubt. His classes
are always full and unless you happen
to be among the first to register you
may as well forget trying to get into
his class.
The next few weeks should be interesting.
Are we students going to
let Jon Fagerson go without a fight?
Maybe we will even see just how much
students can do if they become unified
by a common cause.

Closing out the season after a weekend
that destroyed whatever remaining
conference hopes Bethel may have had,
the Royals won two but lost a tight
one as they upped ther season record
to 14-9 with one game left to play.
Oon Wednesday night Bethel handled
Hamline on their own court 79-72. Up
by only 6 points at halftime, Bethel expanded
its lead to 18 points in the second
half, the ~inal margin due to the play
of the reserves late in the game. Jack
Hoehl, playing in the center spot, shared
scoring honors with Steve Scroggins, as
both scored 19 points while Tim Maring
continued his strong play by contributing
18 points and 12 rebounds. Hoehl
led Bethel in the rebound department
by grabbing 15 caroms.
In the l<ast conference showdown of the
year, Bethel came on strong late in the
game to defeat Concordia-St. Paul, 71-
60, and finish 6-4 in the Tri-State Conference.
After being held without a
field goal and to one point in a disasterous
half, Scroggins erupted for
21 more after intermission to finish
as high point man for the game with 22
points. Hoehl with 19, Maring with 10,
Gordy Wahlberg with 9 and Jim Delich
with 8 points rounded out the balanced
Bethel trailed by 6 points at half
time and the Comets, led by their fine
freshman, Melvin Riley (18 points), managed
to hang on to the lead throughout
the early portion of the second half. But
as Bethel's shooting from the field
began to warm up (particularly Scroggins')
the Royals overtook Concordia
and outscored them 20 points to 8 in
the final 6 minutes, eventually won,
going away with the final 11 point margin
, the highest enjoyed by either team
during the game.

Against the University of MinnesotaMorris,
however, the story was reversed.
Leading by 4 points at the half,
,the Royals were edged in the final secof
play, 81-80. For much of the first
half, -Morris controlled the tmpo of
play and held an early lead. Just minutes
before the half ended, Bethel caught
fire and built leads of 6 or 7 points.
The second half was close all the way as
first Morris and then Bethel would gain
a slight advantage. As in the Yankton
game, an inbounds play with one second
on the clock was unsuccessful
and Bethel dmpped their last home
game of the season. Scroggins with 28
points, Hoehl with 20 and Wahlberg
and Willie HHI with 11 each led the
scoring for Bethel, but the key to Morris'
victory was their ability to contain the
Royals' fast-breaking attack.
In the Tri-State Conference, Yankton
and Northwestern finished tied for the
championship with 8-2 records while
Westmar and Bethel are deadlocked behind
them at 6-4. Concordia-St. Paul

After all there is such a thing as knowing how to be a good
winner. There may be those who think it's cool - they've got
I pretty warped judgment. All the Nananana displays are a
pretty poor sense of sportsmanship!

Bethel's witching
hour now midnight
for all dorm girls
This semester the girls living in Bodien and Hagstrom
Dorms have been granted 12 o'clock hours during the week.
This has been an issue every year in the dorms. Last year at
the end of second semester, the new and the old Dorm Council
voted together on the hours for this year. There was an
opinion poll taken and the results were that most girls wanted
11 o'clock hours.
This year the issue was brought up to the Dorm Council
again. The Bodien Dorm Council discussed it and decided to
ask <for two 12 o'clock permissions per girl a month. A meeting
of the two dorm presidents, and the dorm's housemothers
together with Miss Starr, gave us the decision for the extended
hours. Miss Starr had the final say in the matter.

Finding software can be overwhelming. Software Advice has helped thousands of hotels choose the right reservation software so they can manage reservations and avoid scheduling errors.
Sort by:
Here's what we'll cover in this guide:
Hotel Reservation Software Buyer's Guide
Common Features of Hotel Reservation Software
Key Considerations
Market Trends to Understand
Hospitality professionals seek to make the reservation and booking process as fast and accurate as possible, so they can maintain a real-time inventory and maximize occupancy at their properties. From boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts to large hotel and resort chains, hotel reservation software (or "central reservation systems") can help management achieve these goals. These systems streamline everything from online reservations to the distribution and marketing of hotels across multiple sales channels.
This guide will outline the most common features and functions found in hotel reservation software, and the factors you should consider when shopping for a system.
Hotel reservation systems perform several functions related to online reservations, including managing rates and inventory and storing customer profile information. These systems also interface with various sales channels to ensure your hotel's inventory and information is available to guests no matter where they reserve a room. These channels include:
Finally, most reservation systems can interface with a property management system, which is used to manage other areas of a hotel's daily operations.
Here's a list of the most common capabilities of hotel reservation software:
|Reservation tracking
|Enter and track reservations in a "tape chart": a color-coded grid of reservations hoteliers can modify to reflect changes in availability. Some systems, like more robust travel agency software, include the ability to track where reservations originate (e.g., from the hotel website or an online travel agency).
|Rate management
|Adjust rates and determine which rates are available to certain guests during certain times of the year or during promotions.
|Customer data profiling
|Manage phone numbers, payment information, membership status, statistics on past stays and other information about guests.
|Internet booking engine
|Many hotel reservation systems can enable online booking from your hotel's website, turning your site into a veritable booking engine—an essential function today.
|Global Distribution System integration
|A GDS is a network that stores the rate and inventory information of hotels connected to it by a central reservation system. Online travel agencies also access the GDS, and use the information to ensure consistency for customers when booking online. Connecting a hotel to these networks with hotel reservation software allows guests to book rooms on systems other than the hotel's system. Though the technology is aging, four major GDSs exist today (Worldspan, Amadeus, Galileo and Sabre) that are still used by most hotels.
If you are in the market for hotel reservation software, here are a few factors to consider during your search:
Choose a system that fits the size of your hotel. Hotel reservation systems can vary in the number of rooms, number of properties and room types they support. Select a system that accommodates your hotel's needs: choosing one that is designed for larger hotels when your business is a small bed and breakfast, for example, could make the reservation process more complicated than necessary. Large resorts, on the other hand, may require dedicated resort tools to meet their needs.
Consider GDS integration. Hotels should still consider GDS integration when choosing a hotel reservation system to ensure that rooms and rates appear correctly on the several thousands of sales channels GDSs link to.
Evaluate usability. Choose a system with an interface that is easy for you to decipher and that gives your hotel the most exposure to sales channels. More importantly, since the systems allow for online bookings, you should pick one with an easy-to-use customer interface. A simple, intuitive interface can mean the difference between a completed guest transaction and a failed conversion.
The biggest challenge for the hotel industry today is wrestling revenue back from online travel agencies, which have attracted travelers with reduced rates from hotels. Keep these trends in mind when comparing hotel reservation systems:
Online travel agencies. With the advent of the Internet, traditional travel agencies were undercut by airlines and hotels that could now offer direct sales to customers through their websites—avoiding the fees required to be listed with an agency.
Online travel agencies (OTAs) developed their own Internet presence by connecting to the GDS. These websites, such as Expedia, Priceline and Orbitz, focused their services on sorting and and comparing hotel rates and inventory to make planning easier for travelers.
OTAs charge hotels 10 to 25 percent in commission fees for being listed—but neglecting the millions of dollars generated through those websites is not an option for the vast majority of hotel managers. By using an appropriate hotel reservation system and increasing your online marketing strategy, you can drive more bookings directly from your website.
Metasearch engines. Other websites, such as Kayak and HotelsCombined.com, scour through the OTAs' independent search engines to bring users a live inventory of hotel rooms across multiple OTAs. They allow users to sort these results by price, rating and other filters. These sites redirect travellers to the hotel website or OTA for the final purchase, and generate revenue through advertising and listing fees.

Walmart recently annouced that they are going to launch a new campaign to label "healthy" foods with the words "Great for You" to help consumers easily identify foods that are "good" for them. At first glance, this seems like a great program. Walmart is working on lowering the price of fruits and vegetables, which is wonderful. Despite what others say, it is more expensive to eat healthy. You can go to McDonalds and buy dinner for a family of four for under $10, but it is extremely difficult to buy fresh fruits, vegetables, whole-grains and lean protein for a healthy dinner for that same price. Walmart is also working with suppliers to lower sodium and sugar in their products, which is also excellent.
However, according to the New York Times article, Walmart also "has worked with suppliers to cut the costs of items like reduced-fat peanut butter and fat-free salad dressing."
That is what concerns me.
Reduced-fat peanut butter is NOT healthy. In fact, reduced fat peanut butter is worse for you than full-fat, but natural, peanut better. Manufacturers make reduced-fat peanut butter by removing the healthy fats from the peanuts, and replacing it with corn syrup, thereby raising the sugar and carbohydrates in the product. Cooking Light magazine recently ran a piece on "10 Foods That Sound Healthy But Aren't" which included reduced-fat peanut butter. Their nutrition expert, Katherine Brooking, MS RD, advised to review the labels on all peanut butter to ensure added sugar and oil isn't on the list. She touted the benefits of the monosaturated fat in the peanuts and said that best case scenrio is actually grinding your own peanuts to make natural peanut butter. If you can't do this, than finding a natural brand, such as Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, is your next best source.
Fat-free salad dressings are also not exactly "healthy." Manufacturers have to replace the fat with something, so these products are often higher in sugar and sodium. Check out this article on Livestrong which compares the labels on fat-free and full-fat ranch dressing. The fat-free version only has 119 calories per serving, but 27 grams of carbohydrates. The full-fat version has 484 calories, but only 7 grams of carbohydrates. Neither one is a nutritional winner.You are much better off making your own with heart-healthy olive oil and lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. It's also been shown that the fats in salad dressing help your body absorb vitamin E and other important vitamins and nutrients. Check out this great article by Fooducate for more information on finding a healthy salad dressing.
But what worries me the most is that Walmart will begin slapping the "Great for you" label on processed foods that are labled "low-fat," "light," or "gluten-free," and provide consumers will a false sense of security on their snack choices. The Harvard School of Public Health recommends a diet that consists mainly of vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, lean protein, healthy fats and water.
Eating junk food, even if it is labled "low-fat," is not healthy and won't improve the obesity epidemic in this country. In fact, researchers have discovered the "halo effect," which is when people eat more of a food that they consider "healthy" because they think it is good for them. This means that eating foods with a "Great for you" label could ultimately lead to consumers actually eating MORE and gaining more weight because they will think that a diet loaded with whole wheat crackers, reduced fat chips and gluten-free cookies is good for them. But a chip is still a chip, even if it has 10 fewer calories per serving. Check out this article by Psychology Today on the Halo Effect.
So what do you think? Do you think that the new "Great for you" program at Walmart will do more harm than good? Do you think that Walmart's effort will actually help reduce the obesity epidemic? I want to hear from you!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Boys Scouts of America is considering a dramatic change in its controversial policy of excluding gays as leaders and youth members.
Under the change being considered, the different religious and civic groups that sponsor Scout units would be able to decide for themselves how to address the issue -- either maintaining an exclusion of gays or opening up their membership.
The announcement of the possible change came Monday after years of protests over the policy, including petition campaigns that have prompted some corporations to suspend donations to the Boy Scouts.
Under the proposed change, said BSA spokesman Deron Smith, "the Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members, or parents."
On Monday, Channel 4's Adrienne Moore spoke with people on both sides of the issue to get their reaction.
"Any small victory to me means there's hope," said gay rights advocate Valerie Williams.
Williams calls the possible announcement a step in the right direction.
"Just the fact that it's on the table is encouraging and inspiring, that some people are realizing that equal rights is important, that it's a basic human right," said Williams.
According to jack sears with the North Florida Council of the Boy Scouts, "This is an internal national policy discussion, and no decision has been made."
Sears continued: "I can say that local councils agree to support the decisions made by the volunteer National Executive Board. Our united focus is on working together to deliver the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training."
Not everyone thinks a shift in policy is a good idea. Jacksonville City Councilman Don Redman said he believes the move could invite predators into the well-known and respected program.
"You get anything other than that into the Boy Scouts, I think you'd be doing a cruel thing to society, and I don't think it would work... I think it would create problems," said Redman.
Former Eagle Scout Scott Kluksdahl says the decision would promote acceptance, and allow him to return to the program as a mentor.
"It does give the young Scouts the option to participate in scouting rather than banned from scouting all together, and on that same token, leaders such as myself. I'm not allowed to be a Scout leader because I am a gay man," said Kluksdahl.

text: Hello you lot I think it's finally time for me to post my WIP here. I've been lurking in corners for so many years, reading all projects and learning and gaining so much. So HUGE thank you to all you talented Zammers here, you have done awesome work. My Zam has now a new host as I realized I cannot wear her anymore. After all these years and hard work health issues hit me and I decided it is time to part with her. (Although that took awhile too, but that's another story) Anyway, some parts are well detailed, some are not. I still need to redo gauntlets, for instance. Will post all process so far in the coming days.

I've noticed when students are copying drawings from Preston Blair or old cartoons, or even life drawing there is a tendency to shrink the open spaces.
On a 3/4 angle, you see more space behind the eye that's close to you than the one that's farther away.
Chuck Jones is a master of balancing fills with space. And of using contrasting shapes.
He doesn't pile balls on balls, yet he uses all the classic 40s animation principles.
In this earlier model sheet of the bird you can tell the WB artists are just trying to get the basic principles down and it looks more like balls on balls. Chuck's more interesting individual style developed after he got confident of his principles. Then he stopped piling up balls.
Many cartoonists today (including me, when I'm not thinking about it) draw the whole face filling the head shape, with no space around it. This makes the image cramped and unfocused. It also leaves no room for the features to move if the character needs to raise his eyebrows or open his mouth wide.
And it's wrong. Characters have craniums and you see a lot of brain space behind the face. Or you should. Your face is well in front of your head.Below, I have exaggerated the space and perspective in Elroy's face.Even in an extreme close up where perspective is distorted you can see that the face doesn't take up a lot of space within the whole head. - and that there are spaces between the features. The aren't all crammed together.
Drawing these toys and trying to capture the construction, perspective and spaces oughta make it sink in.

In this week's LXWR we have Canonical going on record about open core, Eight reasons to give the E17 a try, Oracle wants LibreOffice members to leave OOo council, The London Stock Exchange smashes the world record trade speed using Linux and with Ray Ozzie just the latest to walk out of Redmond, is this the beginning of the end for Microsoft? Enjoy!
Web browser speed test: Chrome, Firefox, IE9, Opera and Safari head-to-head: With Internet Explorer 9 being acclaimed as the fastest ever browser client from Microsoft, DaniWeb decided to put it to the test against Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari and see just how quick it really is in a real world test of web browsing speed.
Canonical, Ltd. Finally On Record: Seeking Open Core: I've written before about my deep skepticism regarding the true motives of Canonical, Ltd.'s advocacy and demand of for-profit corporate copyright assignment without promises to adhere to copyleft. I've often asked Canonical employees, including Jono Bacon, Amanda Brock, Jane Silber, Mark Shuttleworth himself, and — in the comments of this very blog post — Matt Asay to explain (a) why exactly they demand copyright assignment on their projects, rather than merely having contributors agree to the GNU GPL formally (like projects such as Linux do), and (b) why, having received a contributor's copyright assignment, Canonical, Ltd. refuses to promise to keep the software copylefted and never proprietarize it (FSF, for example, has always done the latter in assignments). When I ask these questions of Canonical, Ltd. employees, they invariably artfully change the subject.
Fear and loathing and open core: Bradley M Kuhn published an interest blog post at the weekend explaining why he believes Canonical is about to go down the open core licensing route and heavily criticising the company for doing so. My take on the post is that it is the worst kind of Daily Mail-esque fear mongering and innuendo. Not only does Bradley lack any evidence for his claim, the evidence he presents completely undermines his argument and distracts attention from what could be a very important point about copyright assignment. The premise? Mark Shuttleworth has admitted that he plans to follow the open core licensing strategy with Canonical.
Eight Reasons to give the E17 Desktop a Try: During the three and a half years I have spent using Linux I have tried every different type of desktop under the sun and of them all Enlightenment's E17 is my personal favorite. The following are a few reasons why it may be worth breaking out of your Gnome/KDE comfort zone to give E17 a try.
Oracle wants LibreOffice members to leave OOo council: A group of key OpenOffice.org (OOo) contributors and community members recently decided to fork the project and establish The Document Foundation (TDF) in order to drive forward community-driven development of the open source office suite. Oracle has responded to the move by asking several members of TDF to step down from their positions as representatives on the OOo community council.
London Stock Exchange smashes world record trade speed with Linux: The London Stock Exchange has said its new Linux-based system is delivering world record networking speed, with 126 microsecond trading times. The news comes ahead a major Linux-based switchover in twelve days, during which the open source system will replace Microsoft .Net technology on the group's main stock exchange. The LSE had long been criticised on speed and reliability, grappling with trading speeds of several hundred microseconds.
Oracle issues first OpenOffice.org 3.3.0 release candidate: Two months after the first beta arrived, the OpenOffice.org developers have issued the first release candidate (RC1) of OpenOffice.org 3.3.0, the next release of the Oracle owned open source office suite. According to the OpenOffice.org Wiki, the RC1 development version will be followed by a second release candidate and a quality assurance (QA) build prior to the final product release. Dates for the RC2, QA and Final version have yet to be confirmed.
Beginning of the end for Microsoft?: Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief software architect, is leaving the company. There are a couple of moments in Microsoft's long history that will be remembered as when the company changed forever. One of those is, naturally, when Bill Gates handed over the reins. The other will be the day that Ray Ozzie, Microsoft's chief software architect, leaves the building.
WordPress Founder on the Key to Open Source Success: As a 19-year-old college student in 2003, Matt Mullenweg developed what has become the largest self-hosted blogging tool on the web. Two years later, he founded Automattic, which runs the content management system for WordPress and a handful of other web tools. WordPress — still free and open source — is currently used by more than 12% of the top million websites (this one included). In a recent e-mail exchange, Mullenweg discussed the open source movement, the shifting personal web publishing world, and the future of WordPress.
Redmond Delivers Another Big POS: In 1996, Microsoft got together with a group of companies that included NCR, Epson, and Fujitisu to produce OLE for POS (abbreviated OPOS), which stands for Object Linking and Embedding for Point of Sale.
