Pope Names Colombian as New Cardinal
VATICAN CITY – A Colombian was one of the six new cardinals that Pope Benedict XVI named on Saturday, bringing a more geographically diverse mix into the European-dominated College of Cardinals.
Pope Benedict XVI presided over the ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica to formally elevate the six men, who hail from Colombia, India, Lebanon, Nigeria, the Philippines and the United States. As Benedict read each name aloud in Latin, cheers and applause erupted from their friends and family members in the pews.
The ceremony was both joyful and emotional: Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle, seen by many to be a rising star in the church, visibly choked up as he knelt before Benedict to receive his three-pointed red hat, or biretta, and gold ring, and wiped tears from his eyes as he returned to his place.
Abuja, Nigeria Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, meanwhile, seemed to want to sit down and chat with each one of the dozens of cardinals that he greeted in the traditional exchange of peace that follows the formal elevation rite.
Benedict has said that with this "little consistory," he was essentially completing his last cardinal-making ceremony held in February, when he elevated 22 cardinals, the vast majority of them European archbishops and Vatican bureaucrats.
Benedict said Saturday that the new cardinals represent the "unique, universal and all-inclusive identity" of the Catholic Church.
"In this consistory, I want to highlight in particular the fact that the church is the church of all peoples, and so she speaks in the various cultures of the different continents," he told the crowd, which included Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, the vice president of the Philippines Jejomar Binay and lawmakers from India and Nigeria.
The College of Cardinals remains heavily European even with the new additions: Of the 120 cardinals under age 80 and thus eligible to vote in a conclave to elect a new pope, more than half — 62 — are European. Critics have complained that the "princes of the church" no longer represents the Catholic Church today, since Catholicism is growing in Asia and Africa but is in crisis in much of Europe.
The issue of numbers is significant since these are the men who will elect the next pope from among their ranks: Will the next pontiff come from the southern hemisphere, where two-thirds of the world's Catholics live? Or will the papacy return to Italy, which has 28 voting-age cardinals, after a Polish and German pope?
The new cardinals do make the papal voting bloc a bit more multinational: Latin America, which boasts half of the world's Catholics, now has 21 voting-age cardinals; North America, 14; Africa, 11; Asia, 11; and Oceana, one.
Among the six new cardinals is Archbishop James Harvey, the American prefect of the papal household. As prefect, Harvey was the direct superior of the pope's former butler, Paolo Gabriele, who is serving an 18 month prison sentence in a Vatican jail for stealing the pope's private papers and leaking them to a reporter in the greatest Vatican security breach in modern times.
The Vatican spokesman has denied Harvey, 63 from Milwaukee, is leaving because of the scandal. But on the day the pope announced Harvey would be made cardinal, he also said he would leave the Vatican to take up duties as the archpriest of one of the Vatican's four Roman basilicas. Such a face-saving promotion-removal is not an uncommon Vatican personnel move.
Harvey's departure has led to much speculation about who would replace him in the delicate job of organizing the pope's daily schedule and arranging audiences.
Aside from Harvey, Tagle, and Onaiyekan, the new cardinals are: Bogota, Colombia Archbishop Ruben Salazar Gomez; the Patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites in Lebanon, His Beatitude Bechara Boutros Rai; and the major Archbishop of the Trivandrum of the Siro-Malankaresi in India, His Beatitude Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal.
Cardinals serve as the pope's closest advisers, but their main task is to elect a new pope. And with Benedict, 85, slowing down, that task is ever more present. For the second time, the consistory ceremony was greatly trimmed back, lasting just over an hour to spare the pope the fatigue of a lengthy ceremony.
He will, however, celebrate Mass on Sunday with them.
While Benedict didn't mention the cardinals' primary task in his remarks, he did remind them that the scarlet of their cassock and hat that they wear symbolizes the blood that cardinals must be willing to shed to remain faithful to the church.
"From now on you will be even more closely and intimately linked to the See of Peter," he said.
The six new cardinals are all under age 80. Their nominations bring the number of voting-age cardinals to 120, 67 of whom were named by Benedict, all but ensuring that his successor will be chosen from a group of like-minded prelates.
Saturday's consistory marks the first time in decades that not a single European or Italian has been made a cardinal — a statistic that has not gone unnoticed in Italy. Italy still has the lions' share of cardinals, though, with 28 voting-age "princes" of the church.

Question on akathists
January 27, 2003, 06:44:04 PM »
I have some questions on akathists. What is the proper way to perform them, especially the ones to Christ and the Theotokos?
Life is just one disappointment after another.

I am not sure that I understand what you mean by perform. I am taking it that you do not mean musically nor where and what time nor the gestures.
An akathist hymn is a type of "proper" and as such does not stand alone. It is inserted into a prayer "shell." The same happens with the propers for any given day, they are inserted into the appropriate services.
There are at least two common ways of praying akathists alone, not in church and without clergy or choir. If you have the "Jordanville prayerbook" I think the form is in the back. An akathist can be taken at compline instead of a canon or it can be taken alone or taken as outlined in the links below.
An akathist can also be combined with a canon at Matins but the rules seem to be somewhat involved.
If taken alone, it is simply preceeded by the usual beginning plus the invitatory and a psalm (142 if memory serves), see below.
If you do not have the Jordanville book, this site seems to have accurate information:
for small compline:
as a "moleben" (more or less the akathist alone):
And finally, THE ORDER FOR READING CANONS AND AKATHISTS WHEN ALONE:

For those who might want to take a look at it, the Jordanville Prayer Book can be found online at:
I supply that link hoping that it will prompt people to buy the book, not because I'd like to give people a "free online version".
The only problem with this prayer book is that it sometimes renders things very awkwardly into English. This seems to be a problem with Orthodox in general though, lol (for example, look at the 151st Psalm in the Holy Transfiguration Monastery's "The Psalter". It reads, in part, "My brethren were big and good". ...I think I'll stick with the RSV rendering: "My brothers were handsome and tall.")

Glory to Jesus Christ!
You may also find an excellent resource for Akathists in the ROCOR published "Book of Akathists" which includes many to Our Lord, THe Blessed Theotokos and numerous ones for popular Saints (Nicholas, Xenia, etc). I would recommend it to any one wishing to use Akathists at home. It is available from Holy Trinity Monastery, St. John of Kronstadt Press, Light and Life Books or your local Orthodox Bookstore.
Your brother in Christ ,

From the Akathist before the wonderworking Pochaev Icon of the Mother of God
Gabriel the Archangel was the first to proclaim, "Rejoice!" O Lady, when he announced to thee thy conception of the Son of God. Then at thy Most-glorious Dormition, all the Powers of Heaven raised their voices in ceaseless praise, "Rejoice!" How then, can we sinners dare to join our feeble voices to those of the bodiless hosts? But since thou art merciful and tenderhearted towards all that repent, we open our mouths with fear and with love as we dare to sing: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
Pondering the imponderable mercy of thine appearance, O Lady, we affirm through our fervent supplications, that thou didst deign to establish a stronghold for Orthodoxy on the Mount of Pochaev as a defense against the Hagarites and then, against the onslaughts of the heretics. Therefore, our hearts overflow with the warm fervor of faith as we come before thee and we sing: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
When this Icon was in her house, the noble Anna witnessed the miraculous healing of her brother Philip, who had been blind from birth. She was then filled with a burning desire to proclaim thy glory and she built a stone Church at Pochaev dedicated in honor of thy Most-holy Dormition for the pious brotherhood, where this thy Wonderworking Icon is venerated to this day: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
When thy seventeen-year captivity in the hands of the heretics was finally brought to an end, and thy return to thy habitation from the prison of the blasphemers was finally at hand, the monks of Pochaev and all the faithful came out to greet thee and in their gladness, they raised high their voices, and with joy they sang: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
When the people behold the river of miraculous healings pouring forth from the Mountain of Pochaev from the days of old even unto this day, they are filled with the ardent desire to repent of their past sins and thus attain salvation, and they sing this song to thee: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
Beholding thine appearance, O Lady, above the Mountain of Pochaev in answer to the prayers of the brotherhood before this, thine holy Image and before the relics of the Venerable Job, and witnessing thy power in the destruction of their comrades, the army of the Hagarites took flight in panic. Seeing this, the faithful cried aloud to thee with joy: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
New and terrible travails aggrieved thy holy habitation at Pochaev when it and the entire land of Volyn' were deviously torn away from Orthodoxy and thrust into the clutches of the heretics. Finally, after one hundred and ten years the Orthodox Christians prevailed, and when the Orthodox monks returned to thy monastery and revealed the relics of Saint Job for veneration, they fell before this, thy holy Image, and they sang: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
I am totally unworthy and my entire being is fraught with sin! I am so immersed in the secular cares of this world, that I ignore my soul completely! But beholding thy holy Image before me and seeing with my very own eyes the illumination being bestowed upon the countless number of people standing here with me, each one being guided upon the path of salvation, in the gladness of my heart I sing: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
Once again, O Lady, thou didst show us the bounties of thy mercy when thy people were restored to the Orthodox Faith: the blind received their sight and the lame received their strength when they called upon thee in prayer. Likewise, the Lutheran woman was immediately healed when she cried out to thee for help; and having received healing she venerated thee with kisses and accepted the True Faith. Like her then, let us sing: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
Thou art the invincible fortress of the True Faith, O Lady, for all the attacks of the deceitful heretics are repulsed by thy strong and mighty bastions. Likewise, O true Theotokos, thou art the safe haven of all Orthodox who call upon thee in faith, for the words of heresy fall silent in our ears and with grateful thanks in our hearts we ceaselessly sing: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
To the dying man of Bessarabia thou didst appear both as a lamp shining upon his earthly life and as a beacon guiding him safely home unto life everlasting, O Lady; for as he was breathing his last breath, his lips tasted the waters of thy healing Pochaev spring, and straightway, he arose. Beholding this, his family with fear and love cried to thee: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
Standing before thee and praising the miracles and wonders that thou hast shown to us on the Mountain of Pochaev, we beseech thee, O Lady: Turn not thy face away from us, but in thy mercy grant unto us, and to all that come before thee, the fulfillment of every good desire so that the entire world may sing: Rejoice, O Praise of Pochaev, the Hope and Consolation of the world!
The above is printed in the 2003 liturgical calendar of my OCA parish. "Akathistos" means "not sitting," i.e., "standing," so it goes without saying that we pray an akathist hymn in an upright, standing position.

Live-Action 'Jem And The Holograms' Movie Headed To Big Screen
We're way too excited about this!
A live-action version of the 1980's animated TV hit Jem and The Holograms is coming to the big screen!!
Check out the video announcement from director Jon M. Chu and producers Jason Blum and Scooter Braun!
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Chu, Blum and Braun made the announcement Thursday on YouTube where they revealed they are making a modern day live action reinvention of the cartoon.
They also turned to fans of the show and toyline to help writing music, designing costumes and even casting.
The cartoon ran from 1985 to 1988 and told the adventures of Jerrica Benton and her alter-ego, Jem, a singer who fronted the band called The Holograms. Ironically, the show was produced with the involvement of Marvel Productions, which were hoping to replicate the success of G.I. Joe.
According to the producers, the new Jem is being reimagined "for a whole new generation with themes of being true to who you are in a multitasking, hyperlinked social-media age."
Ryan Lendels wrote the script which, per the producers, centers on an orphaned teenage girl who becomes an online recording sensation. She and her sisters embark on a music-driven scavenger hunt -- one that sends them on an adventure across Los Angeles in an attempt to unlock a final message left by her father.
Okay, so it may have been too much to ask that we get some 1980's glam pop-punk realness, but that doesn't mean a modernized Jem can't be just as fun!
Just don't forget that the real reason Jem works is The Misfits. ("We are The Misfits! Our songs are better!"...and they kinda were.)
And don't forget Synergy! And Rio two-timing Jem and Jerrica and both of them apparently being cool with it!
Are you excited for a live-action Jem and the Holograms, Instincters?
Hannah Montana was the modern day Jem. I like the idea of an orphaned teenage girl... I remember many on the show, but Laura Holloway (the one that got mixed up with drugs) and also, oh what was the blonde girl who formed a band with some of the Starlight Foundation teens? If they get it right, might be interesting.

The issue of limited range has been an impediment to EV sales since before such vehicles even went on sale. But as The Truth About Cars now reports, Toyota just might have the answer to this problem. The first steps have been taken toward making a battery which uses sodium-ion compound as the positive electrode. This produces 30 percent more voltage than a lithium-ion battery, and it's estimated that it could at least double the range of electric cars. It is even estimated that range to extend to 1,000 km (620 miles) with sodium batteries.
Toyota hasn't said what we can expect for recharge times on these batteries, and a 600-mile range would be something of a mixed blessing if it also needed two days to recharge. But improvements are being made in the area of recharging as well, and sine Toyota has said that they don't expect the sodium batteries to be ready until 2020, it's still a bit early to say what conditions will be like when it comes time to actually charge the batteries. One thing we do know will get better along with range is price. Sodium is one of the most abundant elements on earth, and Toyota says the new batteries would almost surely be cheaper than the lithium-ion batteries we currently use.
This announcement came as a bit of a shock, as it was just a couple of months ago that Toyota announced they would be scaling back on EV building and that the technology just wasn't ready for full-scale implementation. We can only assume that this research is being conducted as part of Toyota's desire to remain the world leader in hybrids.
Whatever their motivation, we're marking off 2020 on our calendars. It should be fascinating to see how this impacts the market and even whether the technology will spread to other devices which use batteries as well.

Most stand-up comedians dream of following in the foot steps of Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Bernie Mac and Louis C.K. and having their own sitcoms.
Not Gabriel Iglesias. At least, not right now.

Clarion vol. 58, no. 18 3900 bethel dr., st. pawl, mn 55112 februory 18, 1983
Low budget priority excludes a 'Bethel tradition'
by Neal Bernards
The annual All-School Ban-quet
has been canceled due to
a lack of money in the Cam-pus
Coordinator's fund. A stu-dent
production, "Joseph and
His Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat," will be per-formed
on May 6 to replace
the banquet. The Student Sen-ate
and Campus Coordinator
will also jointly sponsor a
reception and a slide show by
Doug Barkey.
The administration did not
allocate money for the ban-quet
because of its low prior-ity
in the budget. "Some stu-dents
complained that their
tuition was going towards the
banquet," said Mary Schwab,
music and program director
for the Campus Coordinator.
"If students are upset they
can come and talk to us, but
it's too late to do anything.
Preparations for the All-
School Banquet must be done
far in advance."
"I'm upset that the banquet
was canceled and the faculty
appreciation dinner wasn't,"
said Steve Goodwin, Bethel
Student Association Presi-dent.
"I'm disappointed that
one of our few traditions has
been discontinued."
The program was scheduled
to be cut last year but former
president Lundquist re-quested
that it be continued.
Lundquist was the originator
of the All-School Banquet,
The option of requiring stu-dents
to pay admission for
the banquet was rejected as
being counter-productive. It
was felt that a low turnout
would not cover the produc-tion's
"The main idea of the All-
School Banquet is that it's
free," said Goodwin. "If you
start charging it gets to be a
couples thing. The Student
Senate is drafting a proposal
that the banquet be re-in-stated
as part of the Student
Activities Fund. We'd like to
see the tradition continued."
Task force aims for
more cultural diversity
by Paul Davis
e , v
The problem of racial prej-udice
is not just found "out in
the world," but can be seen
here. at Bethel. The Integra-tion
Task Force is a group
that is working to change this.
According to Don Belton, as-sociate
professor of social
work, the Integration Task
Force is a group of faculty,
students, and other commun-ity
members who are commit-ted
to making Bethel racially
and culturally diverse.
"We are trying to build
bridges between the college
and minority communities in
the Twin Cities, in order to
benefit both," said Belton.
The group tries to meet once
a month, alternating between
the community and the col-lege.
"We meet informally, and
nothing is official; we are a
diverse group, but we all have
one goal," said Belton.
According to Belton, there
are two black Baptist General
Conference churches in St.
Paul with no students at
Bethel. "The question," said
Belton, "is why are these
Christians not interested in
Bethel?" The answer, said
Belton, is to change the Bethel
attitude. "There is diversity
within God's kingdom, and
there is also-diversity within
our own community," said

The matrimony of Luke
Spencer and Laura Baldwin
last year caused more excite-ment
to television viewers
than Prince Charles' and Lady
Diana's wedding. In recent
years, soap operas (commonly
referred to as soaps) have
grabbed the attention of
thousands of college students.
On any given weekday, the
TV room in the Student Ac-tivities
Center is packed with
Bethel students watching
their favorite stars.
The most popular soap, ac-cording
to freshman Joy Bom-barger,
is "General Hospital."
As many of the main stars on
"GH" leave the show, the
ratings start to slip, Born-barger
said. After Laura left
the show the ratings plum-metted.
When news reached
Bombarger that Dr. Noah
Drake, played by Rick Spring-field,
was leaving the show,
she said, "He's the only reason
I watch the show!" She
watches soaps because "the
actors are good and the. sit-uations
are interesting."
A junior who wished to
remain anonymous said she
began watching soaps at a
very young age with her
mother. She said, "They're just
so unrealistic; they're hu-morous.
They'l'e an escape
from the real world."
One student watches
"General Hospital" almost
every day. Although she does
not skip classes to watch her
soap, she plans her work
schedule around her program.
This freshman, as well as
most viewers, gets very upset
if her show is interrupted by a
presidential news conference.
Sophomore Paul Davis
usually watches soaps two
hours a day. "There are people
(on the soaps) you love to
hate and the soaps start to
become a habit," Davis said.
Sophomore Sue Tuma has
been watching "General Hos-pital"
for three years. Why?
"I'm madly in love with Luke
Spencer's curly blond hair,
and I'm a fan of Rick Spring-field,"
Bethel students enjoy last year's All-School Banquet in the cafeteria. This year
the tradition has been discontinued due to lack of funds. Woodward/photo
Soaps grab students' attention
Don Belton, associate professor
of social work, is a member of the
Integration Task Force.
The key is to learn to reach
out to others and to take af-firmative
action, said Belton .
"We try to supply support
systems for minority stu-dents,"
he said, "and to find
and correct discrimination in
the college."

To the editor:
What is a "fag"?
The Beef Board recently
bore the statement: "Shaver is
a Fag."
Homosexuals are real peo-ple—
they are fathers, moth-ers,
soldiers, teachers, preach-ers
and just about any other
category of human occupa-tion.
Words such as "faggot,"
64 queer," "dyke," "fairy," and
so on, are not all that cute.
These words are similar to
gook," "spic," "nigger," "wop,"
and others of that vein. They
are words used to put masks
on people, so that we do not
know them as people, but as
faceless stereotypes.
What's a homophobic?
Homophobia is a fear of
homosexuality, which comes
mostly from ignorance.
At Bethel attitudes toward
gays are evidenced in a wide
variety of ways, from the
seemingly innocent use of
words like "fag" to the morbid
sociopathic aggression of the
"gay-basher" mentality.
Language is the magical
medium on which we depend
for most of our communica-tion.
When we use de-person-alizing
words, we hurt people
with a tool meant to be used
for good, for communication,
not for walling people unlike
ourselves into categories.
The categories in which we
put people don't really exist—
"founders" aren't a bunch of
money-grubbing dinosaurs,
and "gays" aren't a bunch of
warped, smutty little per-verts.
Once you hae talked to
someone, shared some of your
life with another person, you
realize that he or she is an
individual, and is subject to
many of the same struggles
and hopes, the same happi-ness
and sadness which you
have experienced.
It is inevitable that many
people at this school have had
homosexual experience, are
gay by preference, or are
struggling with conflicting
tendencies. These people
f brothers and • sisters. in . the -
Christian community) do not
need our careless stabs,
whether in humor or in hatred.
They need our continued com-passion
and support. Every
person here has his or her
own set of reasons for being
here, but the support for
growth which ideally exists
in this community is not a
trust to be taken lightly.
The people "in question"
are real people. I am not try-ing
to be a sensationalist when
I say that they are here, or in
your church, possibly in the
home. Life is very difficult for
these people, especially in an
atmosphere where they can-not
safely discuss what they
are going through. Little
words and callous attitudes
leave big scars. We owe it to
ourselves and to our com-munity
to guide our words
and our attitudes with care—
to heal, not to hurt.
Please give this matter your
sincere consideration—some-one
close to you may be grate-ful.

draft issue
In an attempt to make more
information available to those
facing draft registration, the
Macalester Draft Counseling
Service (MDCS) will host a
draft counselors' training ses-sion
on Feb. 26 from 2 to 9
p.m. (with an hour break for
supper) in the basement of
the Macalester College Chap-el,
1600 Grand Ave., St. Paul.
The seminar will be led by
Bill Galvin, a field worker for
the Central Committee for
Conscientious Objectors
(CCCO), based in Philadel-phia.
Jeff Spencer, the director of
MDCS, said, "There is a need
for trained draft counselors to
be available as court cases
and new regulations compli-cate
the legalities surround-ing
registration and the draft.
Despite legal questions facing
Selective Service administra-tors
and Justice Department
prosecutors, there is a con-tinued
intimidation effort to
get men to register."
Spencer cited recent mail-ing
to suspected non-regis-trants,
and the Solomon
amendment linking financial
aid to registration as exam-ples
of "intimidation."
Spencer explained, "Letters
to non-registrants have been
received by hundreds of men
in Minnesota. Their names
have been found by cross-checking
state drivers license
records as well as Social Secu-rity
cross-checks. Some of the
statements made in the letter
appear to have questionable
legal grounding." He also
noted, "despite the legal chal-lenges
facing the Solomon
amendment, financial aid
forms have been printed stat-ing
that men must register to
get aid, and the government
has issued press releases stat-ing
the same thing."
"This is why we have asked
Bill Galvin to lead a training
seminar," Spencer added.
"There is a need for people to
be available to answer ques-tions
when they receive the
letters and when they apply
for financial aid."
Galvin is a graduate of
Princeton Theological Semi-nary
(M. Div.). He did his
undergraduate work at War-ren
Wilson College in North
Carolina and also did course-work
at Wesley Theological
Seminary and the Washing-draft,

Commitments teach
time management
Applications for this are available outside the senate
office. Applications for that are available in the student
development office.
These phrases become more and more common during
this time of the semester. Applications are available for a
number of positions for next year. We think it might be fun
to apply, but . . .
"I just don't see how she can do it! She's in athletics, a
TA, plus . . ." "What about Robbin? I don't see how he could
find time to study with his schedule." "Yeah, I'd like to do
some of the things he does, but . . ."
But what?
"I don't have time."
"I just don't know how to manage my time."
As students some of us are involved in a number of
groups and organizations; while others of us struggle to
complete our studying. What is the difference? Knowing
how to manage our time? No. You learn to manage time by
having to manage time.
The difference is a commitment of the time. It is a decision
to accept the responsibilities of the position and give it the
time required.
We become involved because we want to be. It is not
because we know how to manage our time. Once we accept
the responsibility—whether it be playing in band, leading a
Bible study, volunteering our help or being a member of the
student government—we must honestly try to meet the
expectations. We discover that we can find time for activi-ties,
classes, studying, and ourselves. It is just a matter of
holding to our commitments.

There IS an alternative to compulsory
military service. If you have.moral,
ethical, or religious objections to
participation in any war or military
training, you can be a conscientious
objector. One can be a CO regardless
of one's religion: an agnostic or atheist
can make a CO claim based on deeply
held, personal beliefs. The Central Com-mittee
for Conscientious Objectors is
an organization engaged in a
nation-wide effort to inform
people about Conscien-tious
objection and re-lated
peace Issues.
We are also registering conscientious;
objectors with our CO card. This card
- simply states: "Because of my beliefs:-
about war, I am opposed to partici-pation'in
the military." Should the-draft-be
reinstated, and this is becoming--
increasingly likely, a CO card could .
provide important documentation of:
your status as an objector. For more-information,

Did you ever notice that rooms at Bethel are either hot or
cold? There is no inbetween.
This is definitely a problem with classrooms. One cannot
dress to accommodate her classrooms, because these rooms
are inevitably at different ends of the thermostat. To be warm
in one classroom means to be overheated in the next.
The warmest class I ever had was American Civilization
with Jim Johnson. Warm? No, it was hot. Compounded with
this observation was the fact that the class met at 9:10 a.m. As
far as I'm concerned, any class taught before chapel is giving
license to sleeping. The only way to be awake for a 9 a.m. class
is to have an 8 a.m. class to sleep through first.
Although I am a history major, I will be the first to admit
that American Civ. is not the most entertaining class offered
by Bethel College. When I took it, it didn't even have any
movies made after 1950. I think I napped all the way through
American Civ.
Cold classrooms are invariably used in the afternoon when
you are past your teachable peak and yearn only to be fed and
toileted. Not necessarily in that order. I've always found it
interesting to watch my fingernails turn purple in these cold
rooms. My roommate's nose turns bright red when it's cold. I
should take a class with her sometime. Could be colorful.
The two coldest spots at Bethel have to be Doc's Corner and
the gym. Those draft barricades at Doc's are attractive and
useful until around Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving the
only hope of keeping the area warm is to post armed guards at
the exits. The gym seems to be especially cold during chapel.
Perhaps I have made this assumption because, other than
chapel and basketball games, I avoid the gym at all costs.
I have always felt that one's living quarters should be at
least 70 degrees. It's hard to relax and study (dare I state those
terms in the same sentence?) when one is shivering. In order to
keep warm in a cold apartment, you have to eat. I have nothing
against eating, in fact I would consider eating a hobby of mine,
but to eat nonstop from November through March is an expen-sive
I am from Illinois (YIPPEE) and many people from Illinois
seem to be very attached to the art of wearing T-shirts. There
is nothing festive about watching goosebumps raise on your
arms while your fingernails turn purple. When I come home
from school I like to put on a T-shirt. If my room is too cold to
do this, I become irritable.
How can the administrators of Bethel expect us to do our
best work if we are jumping around from freezing to boiling?
How many low GPAs can be explained due to improper heat-ing
of classrooms? Are we paying all this money to die of
Think about it. (But not too hard; I've been know to get

Colleges and universities are
getting much tougher on mis-behaving
students, according
to a study released by the
University of Maryland.
The study shows that ad-ministrators
are suspending
40 per cent more students per
year than they used to, are
tightening disciplinary pro-cedures,
and making it easier
to bring students before dis-ciplinary
Based on a random survey
of some 150 colleges, the study
says 7.8 students per campus
were suspended during the
1980-81 school year, com-pared
to 5.5 students in 1979-
There was also "a clear
trend to increase the severity
of sanctions" against students,
says Dr. Scott Rickard, vice
chancellor of student affairs
at the University of Mary-land-
Baltimore and director
of the survey.
"Our research," he adds, "in-dicates
that administrators
think there are too many pro-cedural
rules" protecting stu-dents
against disciplinary
The increase in the number
of suspensions may, in addi-tion
to the effects of easier
disciplinary procedures, be
due to more violence on cam-pus.
The survey found the
number of physical assault
cases among students in-creased
by 75 per cent be-tween
1979-80 and 1980-81.
Computer Science will be
offered at Bethel as a major
this fall. The program is based
upon a nationally recom-mended
curriculum and is de-signed
to prepare computer
professionals who also are
broadly educated. The new
major—growing out of a pro-gram
existing since 1978—
will include current theory
and methods of computer
science along with liberal arts
"Computer science majors
at Bethel will have early ac-cess
to computer hardware,
including hands-on experi-ence
in a laboratory setting,"
stated Dr. James Holmes, de-partment
chairman. Students
will make use of the Academic
Computing Center's present
PDP 11/45 system, word pro-cessing
equipment, digital
electronics lab, microproces-sors,
and terminal support
facilities for about 18 simul-taneous
Another special feature of
the program will be the po-tential
for students to receive
course credit for related com-puter
experience in a busi-ness
or industrial setting
through the college's Cooper-ative
Education sequence.
A new major program of
study—Teaching English to .
Speakers of Other Languages
(TESOL)—will be offered at
Bethel beginning fall 1983.

Eelpouts 2-1 in the shoot-out.
The Eelpouts controlled the
first half but were unable to

during halftime and
put more pressure on the Eel-pout
defense and broke the tie
as Steve Eckert scored from
long range with 13 minutes
left to play.
The Eelpouts raged back
and tied the game up with six
minutes to play when the ball
bounced through a pileup in
front of the Dogbreath net. As
regulation play ended in a tie
the two teams played a 10
minute sudden-death over-time.

down to the shootout with
both teams having five at-tempts
to score.

hockey team continued to put
forth strong efforts, with two
of the week's three games go-ing

The first overtime game
was a 4-3 win over Wisconsin-
Stout. Against Stout, the team
played relatively solid, though
unspectacular, hockey to pick
up the overtime victory. Scor-ing
for Bethel were Eric Bot-tila,
Jim Nelson, Jon Erickson
and Jon Abrahamson, who
scored the game winner.
The next night against St.
John's, the Royals mercilessly
pummeled the Johnnies' goal
but were able to score only 3
goals. The game was tied 2-2
on goals from Scott Thomas
and Jim Laporte when Abra-hamson

freshmen athletes are not
ready to step into the starting
lineup right out of high school.
Palke gave the example of the
MIAC's top four teams hav-ing
no freshmen and only two
sophomores. In other words,
recruiting is an investment
where you'll have to wait to
reap the dividends.
"The odds are against them
(freshmen) playing but we'll
do everything to help them,"
said Palke.
The Bethel coaches are all
in agreement when they talk
about their enjoyment of meet-ing
possible Royal students
and athletes.
"A majority of the job of
meeting kids I really like, ex-cept
if I pressure myself into
thinking I've got to get this
kid," said Lutton. "I'm ex-tremely
thankful for the ones
I do get. I'm going to get to
know them for four years. I'll
never worry about who I
didn't get, but rather be thank-ful
for the ones I do get."
"We don't have any prob-lems
because we're dealing
with a high-caliber person,"
explained Palke of his plea-sure
in recruiting. "When
working with this kind of
people it's nothing but fun. I
think that's the way all Bethel
recruiting should be."
In his letter to prospective
skaters Dahl states the need
to "have quality Christian
young men who are success-oriented
to maintain this stan-dard
in the Royal hockey pro-gram."
With Bethel's Division III
rating and no scholarships
makes a tremendous differ-ence
when talking to an ath-lete
as opposed to the U of M,
which can hand out scholar-ships
at will. As Lutton said,
you can't tell an athlete what
he'll get until he gets it.
"You'd be manipulating
him," he said. "So that's why
in a real sense I have a low
key attitude. I think you have
to have a relationship and the
student has to respond."

"Control" was the key word
for the women's basketball
team last week—when they
lacked it they lost, and when
they had it they won—in two
games against Macalester and
St. Mary's.
"We didn't come out and
play our game," said head
coach Vonda Bjorklund of the
first game last week, a 74- 57
loss to Macalester Feb. 10.
"But I still felt we played well
even though they were in con-trol."
The Royals were only down
by three points at the end of
the first half, 31-28, due to a
60 per cent field goal percen-tage.
"Then we came out in

Recruiting at Bethel—distinctively different
When it comes to getting the athlete, the school sells itself, say Royal coaches
by John Clark
The scene is a familiar one.
Every year high school ath-letes
are called, coerced and
begged by college coaches to
attend their school:
It is not a familiar scene at
Bethel College, however, as
Royal coaches don't adhere to
the tactics more commonly
associated with recruiting.
Bethel coaches prefer to let
the school and its students
sell themselves rather than
try to "hardsell" an athlete.
"Bethel sells itself," said
basketball coach George
Palke. "The key thing we have
going for us is our distinc-tiveness.

Paterno passed away earlier today from lung cancer. He was 85.
Last October, Westboro announced they would picket the funeral of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. They also picketed the funeral of Michael Jackson.
The church is known for their extreme views against homosexuality. Based on other tweets (see below), Paterno's involvement in the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal is what drew their attention.

It depends on what you're trying to say. "key" is not only a button on a keyboard or a keypad (hence the name) but it's also a code. A key is something that opens, enables or unlocks something. The solution to a puzzle is often reffered to as a "key". The legend on a map is sometimes reffered to as a "key". A list of common mathematical equations and answers are reffered to as a "key". A code or serial number that unlocks a piece of software is a "software key".Originally Posted by blacknomi
So yes, you can use key and button interchangeably in most cases. It's the few times that you can't use them as such you need to be careful of.

[city] Breast Reduction - The Procedure
Women with very large breasts may suffer from pack pain, skin infections under the breast folds and breathing difficulties. During the operation extra fat, skin and breast tissue are removed and the surgeon designs a smaller breasts according to woman`s proportions.
There are two ways to perform breast reduction: one with longer scar or an "anchor" scar, which is the procedure of choice in a case of very large breasts. The surgeon cuts through the nipple down and behind the breast folds. Afterward the surgeon lifts the nipple upward and shapes the breast. The second one is with a smaller scar, which is suitable for a medium size breasts. The cut is made only through the nipple and through the fold. Sometime the extra skin is not fully removed which leaves some skin folds beneath the breasts. Those usually disappear after 3-5 month (in case they persist afterward you might need an additional surgery to remove them).
[city] Breast Reduction - Risks
Every surgery has its risks; the one you`re about to have has a risk of wound infections or healing difficulties of the scars. It might be an asymmetry in the position of the nipple and in some cases you won`t be able to nurse.
[city] Breast Reduction - After Surgery
After the surgery some of the surgeon will prefer an elastic bandage or a bra and some will leave a drainage tubes to draine extra blood or secretions. You might feel pain with sharp moves or coughing, you`ll receive painkillers to relieve the pain. The bandages will be removed a 1-2 days after the operation, and it is recommended to wear a sports bra for another 4-6 weeks until the area heals completely. During your first period after the surgery you might feel pain more then usual, you might also fell tingle or currents for a few month or even a year.
[city] Breast Reduction - Healing
You`ll be able to return to you`re daily activities in a few days although you should restrain from strenuous activities for about a month. It is recommended not to smoke because smoking interferes with healing processes of your scars. You also should avoid sexual activities for 1-2 weeks.
The scars and bruises usually disappear after a few weeks and the final results can be seen 6 month after the surgery. Afterward you breast appearance will be influenced by hormonal changes your weight and pregnancies. You must also remember that despite the fact that you`re breast became smaller if you had pack pain before the reduction you may continue to have them, although the surgery will prevent the exacerbation of those problems.
Breast Reduction - Alternative Treatment
If you are not sure about having a surgery you can always opt in for alternative methods such as Gynexin.
Gynexin is a powerful potent yet natural concoction of ingredients that target the collection of excess fatty cells that accumulate in the mammary glands causing the appearance of feminine breasts. The unique formula gets to work straight away and results can be seen within the first two weeks. It is clinically proven and tested by nutritionists, doctors and medical professionals that verify that it really works. With Gynexin you can achieve the chest you once had, firm, smooth, taut and most importantly, flat! Just take one capsule in the morning half an hour before breakfast and one in the evening before dinner, it is as straightforward as that. You will begin to notice a considerable difference in your torso and midsection as that becomes firmer, the fat is reduced and gradually your chest becomes flatter and firmer.
For more information about Gynexin click here
Here is what people are saying about it:
"The best thing about Gynexin is that it WORKS FAST. My chest is now ripped. There are no signs of my old man boobs. I'm so glad I was referred to your product. This supplement will make such a difference to so many men out there. "
Jorge (Miami, Florida)
"Gynexin is the ultimate formula for men suffering from gynecomastia!!! I had mild man boobs after experimenting with steroids whilst body building. My breasts are already well toned after taking just three Gynexin blister packs. The negative effect of my steriod use has VANISHED. Being a body conscious person it's been such a relief to get rid of the man boobs I developed. "

Click for video: The University of Tubingen's Nicholas Conard holds an ancient
flute during a news conference. Click on the image for a video report on the find.
Scientists say they've found what they consider to be the earliest handcrafted musical instrument in a cave in southwest Germany, less than a yard away from the oldest-known carving of a human. The flute fragments as well as the ivory figurine of a "prehistoric Venus" date back more than 35,000 years, the researchers report.
The findings, published online today by the journal Nature, suggest not only that cavemen and cavewomen could rock the house, but that musical jam sessions may have helped modern humans prevail over their Neanderthal cousins.
"The bottom-line issues are demographics, but behind the demographics are other factors," said Nicholas Conard, an archaeologist at the University of Tubingen and the Nature paper's lead author.
Researchers know that modern humans prevailed over Neanderthals in Europe 20,000 to 35,000 years ago, and that the principal factors behind the Neanderthals' disappearance probably included culture and climate as well as diet. Conard and his colleagues - Maria Malina of the Heidelberg Academy of Science and Susanne Munzel of the University of Tubingen - argue that the musical tradition fostered by Homo sapiens may have contributed by bonding communities more closely together.
"Modern humans seemed to have had much larger social networks," Conard told me today. That networking may have helped facilitate "the demographic and territorial expansion of modern humans relative to culturally more conservative and demographically more isolated Neanderthal populations," he and his colleagues wrote.
The fact that multiple musical instruments turned up in the same area, not far from other artistic artifacts, strengthens the argument that Paleolithic humans developed a relatively rich culture, the researchers say.
Four flutes found
In all, researchers report finding the fragments of four flutes at two excavations in an area of southwestern Germany known as Swabia. Three of the sets of fragments were carved from mammoth ivory, but the real prize is a nearly complete flute hollowed out from the bone of a griffon vulture. That specimen was found in the Hohle Fels cave, just 28 inches (70 centimeters) away from the spot where the prehistoric Venus (or, as some wags have put it, "prehistoric porn") was found.
The figurine's discovery was announced in May, but both finds were actually made last September. "First came the Venus, and a couple of weeks later came the flutes," Conard said.
When assembled, the vulture-bone flute is about eight and a half inches long (21.8 centimeters long) and boasts five finger holes. There are fine lines cut into the bone around the holes, suggesting that the flute's maker was calibrating the holes' placement to produce the nicest tones. One end of the flute is cut into a V shape, and the musician probably blew into that side of the flute. The researchers assume that an inch or two of the flute's far end is missing. You can hear what the flute might have sounded like in this MP3 audio clip.
Conard noted that the fragments of eight flutes have now been found in Swabian geological deposits dating back 30,000 to 40,000 years - deposits known as the Aurignacian layer. Radiocarbon dating indicated that the newly found fragments fit into that time frame, and other dating methods led the researchers to conclude that the flutes were more than 35,000 years old.
They said there were no "convincing" claims that any older musical instruments have ever been discovered.
Reviewing the evidence
Actually, Slovenian archaeologist Ivan Turk and other researchers have pointed to a bear-bone fragment that is about 50,000 years old and appears to have the finger holes for a flute. I wrote about that particular specimen nine years ago in a story on the "sounds of science." But there's still a controversy over whether the holes were made by a Neanderthal or by a bone-chomping scavenger.
"No [outside] scholar who has ever studied it has ever confirmed it's a flute," Conard told me. Turk and his supporters have stood by their story, however.
This bear bone specimen was found in Slovenia in 1995. Is it a 50,000-year-old flute? Such claims have spawned controversy.
Conard said his team's conclusions about the flute found in the Hohle Fels cave are on much more solid ground. "It's a totally different situation here," he said. "We're dealing with finds that have all kinds of indications of cutting with tools and polishing."
The research also meshes with the story told by other finds like the prehistoric Venus. Taken together, the evidence points to a flowering of culture that took place around 35,000 B.C. Could it be that prehistoric partygoers brought their flutes as well as their figurines to the same cave rave?
"It's possible," Conard said. "Let's put it this way: If that were the case, you would find the situation that we have. On the other hand, we can't be sure how much time is represented by the [geological] layer. Let's say that your grandfather played the flute, and your great-granddaughter made the Venus. But it's got to be the same general time period."
Update for 4:30 p.m. ET June 25: I heard back via e-mail from a couple of other knowledgeable fans of ancient flutes. First, here's one of Conard's co-authors, Susanne Munzel, commenting on the Slovenian bear-bone flute (or non-flute):
"I have seen this 'flute' in Ljubljana earlier this year, and in my eyes it is not convincing. As an archaeozoologist I think this is carnivore chewing, which is quite normally found on juvenile cave bear bones. Certainly the bite marks are quite regular and look artificial, but the inside of the shaft is still covered with spongiosa. This makes a sound of the 'flute' impossible. Furthermore the shaft is not very long, and the first 'finger hole' is too close to the mouthpiece. We still don't know why art and music is only proved for Homo sapiens, since very nice Middle Paleolithic stones tell us that Neanderthals were no stupid people. Actually, these flutes and art objects are dated to 35,000 to 40.000 years BP [before present], a time in which in other parts of Europe Neanderthals were still around. So there is no contradiction in dating or the like."
And here's a message from Boston University's Jelle Atema, who made replicas of the bear-bone flute as well as other ancient flutes (and played them quite well, I must say):
"I find the evidence concerning this flute solid, but the inferences weak and misleading. I sense an all-too-common 'Cro-Magnon supremacy' issue here. And once published as a full article in Nature, even inferences become scientific fact. The questions surrounding the Slovenian Neanderthal flute are, in my opinion, throwing sand in the eyes.
"Unfortunately, my main job is as a marine biologist, and my full article is not published in Nature but in the British flute magazine Pan, besides the brief mention in the Science article following the AAAS meeting in 2000. I think it would be most productive at this point to organize a conference where all flute-finders exchange evidence. A real open forum."
Atema also addressed a couple of e-mailed questions I sent him. Here's an edited version of the Q&A:
Q: Is there any way to judge how such flutes might have been used?
A: The article provides no evidence for the way the Hohle Fels flute (carved from a vulture radius) may be played. The authors suggest that V-notches were carved for sound production and that fine lines across the bone surface may have been for measuring the proper distances between finger holes.
I have argued that one V-notch (not 2) could indicate either a quena-type or a broken fipple-type flute. I presented evidence from the deer bone flute for a fipple flute, i.e., what we now call a 'recorder.' The [Slovenian] Divje Babe flute could be either. Line carvings (and fine dot designs) are also found on the beautifully preserved 4,000-year-old vulture bone (here an ulna) which I replicated; these have nothing to do with finger holes. Moreover, I have argued that the player can easily bend the pitch so that precise finger distances are not necessarily of great importance. (This is highly controversial, but once you hear it you can believe it: Finger holes do not fix the pitch, they only suggest a pitch region.)
Finally, the idea that the Divje Babe flute is not a flute but actually a bone with two canine-pressed holes is highly unlikely. Most people agree that the broken third hole is a finger hole. Then there is the fourth 'hole' which may be a finger hole or - in my opinion - the blow hole or notch. And most biologists immediately recognize that scavengers of bone marrow crack the bone with their molars, which have the required leverage for bone crunching. Canines are for grasping, not cracking. (Just imagine how a carnivore would place its canines on a round bone and pierce two holes with its teeth! ... and then leave it alone.)
Q: The paper also touches upon the possible role flute-playing might have had in Paleolithic society, and how it might have given an edge to modern humans (in more connected communities) over Neanderthals (who were said to be in more isolated communities). From your perspective, what's the current thinking on the wider implications of Paleolithic music for modern human and Neanderthal society?
A: This to me is the same speculation people use to justify their cultural superiority all over the world. The problem for some people is to accept that Neanderthals may have been playing flute. Perhaps Cro-Magnon may have adopted originally Neanderthal instument making and music. There is no evidence in either direction. The only way to save the Cro-Magnon musical superiority is to question (and reject) the fact that Ivan Turk found a flute ... therefore the holes were made by cave bears! I believe his and my evidence are clearly favoring the human Neanderthal flute model. (Some would argue that Neanderthals were not even human. No problem; that's a question of definition. But we should be careful. Racial opinions have justified enslaving and eradicating people all over the world.) There is no evidence that Neanderthals, human or not, did not have a musical culture.
Q: Is there any way you can assess how this latest research fits into the current thinking on ancient music-making?
A: I believe that this is a case of scientific competition. Who has the oldest flute? Slovenia? France, Germany? The hard evidence presented here is wonderful but limited. Personally, I see a broad pattern of old musical culture all around the edges of the ice-age Alps. Any solid new piece of evidence is welcome. Maybe eventually we will have a picture of the musical origins. What's clear is that the current bone-flute-based evidence is somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 years old. The sophistication of the flutes suggests that the actual musical culture is much older, particularly if I am right in my fipple flute reconstructions.
Let me know when MSNBC is sponsoring this old bone flute convention.

The mother of a Texas teenager promises her stepson will suffer consequences after his arrest Nov. 3 in connection with an early morning egging spree that involved a group of Marines collecting donations for charity.
But Carol Holbert, whose 18-year-old son, Hunter, was among four teens cited by police, says she fears for her familys safety after Marines and others offended by the incident have threatened them with violence.
I am in no way endorsing this behavior, nor did we raise our children to do this. He made a mistake, a huge mistake, Holbert said. But the threats need to stop. Hunter will answer to a judge on this Earth and to a higher power as well one day. We are as disappointed as anyone else is, but the hateful remarks targeted at him and the death threats need to stop.
The incident occurred around 6 a.m. in San Angelo, a city of about 90,000 in west-central Texas. Four Marines were standing at a busy intersection, collecting donations from morning commuters on behalf of the Toys for Tots Foundation, when Hunter Holberts white Dodge Dakota pickup truck zoomed by and its occupants hurled eggs at them, police say.
The pickup almost hit one of the Marines as it went by and nearly smashed head-on into another vehicle before hitting a traffic island where it came to rest, according to police. A Marine whose vehicle was egged is credited with giving chase and helping the cops locate the pickup truck.
Holbert was charged with reckless driving and criminal mischief. He faces up to $2,000 in fines and six months in jail if convicted. His three passengers, 18-year-olds Brandon Garcia and Taylor White, and an unidentified juvenile, also were cited for criminal mischief.
The incident, first reported Nov. 5 by the San Angelo Standard-Times, made national headlines after generating interest from Marine Corps Times and USA TODAY, which are owned by the same parent company. Contrary to initial reports, the Marines were not struck by the eggs, and local police dont believe they were targeted specifically, said San Angelo Police Officer Tracy Gonzalez, a spokesperson for the department.
On Nov. 6, Gonzalezs colleague, Lt. Mike Hernandez, told Marine Corps Times that several people had called the police department offering to pay the Marines dry cleaning bill.
