Dr. David L. McKenna, President
of Spring Arbor College, Mich-igan,
will speak on "The Revolution
of Expectation" at Bethel's opening
academic convocation at 10 a.m.
on September 18.
Dr. McKenna, a member and
minister of the Free Methodist
Church, did his graduate prepara-tion
in Counseling Psychology and
Higher Education. He received his
M.A. from the University of Mich-igan
in 1955 and his Ph.D. in 1958.
In 1953 he earned his B.D. degree
from Asbury Theological Seminary.
He has written several articles
on higher education for publica-tion
including "Changing Objec-tives
in Higher Education 1847-
1960" in School and Society, and
"Concept for the Christian Col-lege,"
a series of four monographs
published by Spring Arbor Col-lege.
Dr. McKenna's address will cover
the speed of change in modern
society identified by revolutions
in the cultural, intellectual and
spiritual phases of our world.
Cultural revolution is identified
by the shift to a "new barbarism";
the intellectual revolution by a
shift from values to norms; the
spiritual revolution by the shift
to the irrelevant value. The
Christian college must make a
revolutionary response.
To the cultural revolution the
need is for critical participants
and to begin associating as a class,"
states Carlson, "and to provide a
time of recreational and social re-laxation,
spiritual enrichment and
academic challenge."
Board Decrees
Tuition Increase
When returning students come

they will have to pay $25 more
tuition per semester. Welcome
Week staff registers Sept. 12.
Meeting at the Rockford con-ference
last June, the board of
education decided that the deficit
spending for operating expenses
in the last two years required an
increase in tuition.
As President Carl Lundquist
said in a letter to all students
explaining the increase, "We
are sorry to cause additional
strain on your budget," but the
board deemed the increase neces-sary
to make up half of the
$69,000 which exceeded income
last year.
He reminded students that even
with the increase, Bethel's tuition
is still the lowest of any accredit.

Dean of Students Webster Muck
described the action taken by the
board as a step toward reflecting
instruction cost in instruction

the CLARION Wednesday, August 19, 1964 Greatest Satisfaction Resides
In Commitment to College Life
Editor's note : This article is re-printed
from the August 20,
1964 issue of the CLARION.
by W. H. Peterson
The campus is fine right now—
a bright August sun, a cool north-west
breeze, and (relative to the
usual roar of city noise) silent. The
silence is a direct function of the
absence of students.
But in a few weeks, this quiet
ivory tower will be interrupted by
the patter of little feet. Students
will appear again.
Professors will have to rouse
themselves from summer activi-ty
and face faces. This necessity
and the fact that the CLARION
is short 560 words (no more or
less) is the cause of the following
Of course, it will be good to
see the students again. We pro-fessors
think that we can count
a few of them as friends. And
they do have a contagious bub-bling
spirit that stirs the most
doddering Ph.D. for a time.
Having said all these nice things,
may I venture a statement or two
out of the vast reservoir of pro-fessional
experience that I think
will aid students to become the
kind of people professors like.
The students should think of
the campus as a place where
there is life. Real life. Good life.
This is said because soon will be
heard the old refrain, "I'm in
college preparing for life." Non-sense!
Campus life is life, and
it's as much life as any earlier
or later life.
Indeed, if after four years, a
student were to drop stone cold
dead upon receiving his diploma,
he would have ample cause to utter
as breath failed, "I'd do it again,
all of it."
After all, many students will
spend much of later life in jobs
that last no more than four years.
They will move from place to place
in shorter periods. The military,
changed objectives, better econ-omic
opportunities, and American
mobility—all conspire to keep
most of us on the move.
Where then is this long-term
stable later life that we hear
about? Life, in fact, is always a
series of little bits. Five years
pre-school, six years grade school,
three years junior high, three years
high school, four years college,
two years (?) the military, two
years on the first job, then trans-fer,
or a new job, and so on.
Five years the parents of a pre-school
child, etc., etc. Is there a
Bethel May Disappoint
Student Expecting Utopia
So you are going to a Christian college. Just what do you
expect it to be like? Do you think that because Bethel is a
community of Christian people that it is a Utopia? It isn't.
Don't be disappointed when you discover that the Bethel
community has problems like any other community. The stu-dents
who come here and the people who work here may be
Christians, but they are also humans.
You will see the human side of the campus when your
roommate is tired and irritable or when he or she refuses
to keep your room in decent order. Maybe you will see some-one
cheating. You might find your money suddenly missing
from your wallet. At times like these, you will wonder if
Bethel is really a Christian college.
Bethel is not a Christian Utopia. It is composed of people
who are imperfect, who place their own interests above those
of the community.
Since Bethel is a Christian college, do you expect that you
will easily become a better Christian? Many people seem to
think so because parents and pastors send students to Bethel
thinking that life at Bethel will reform a rebellious attitude.
But students who have studied at Bethel will tell you
that Christian growth often seems harder and slower at
Bethel. You will discover the difficulty of Christian living at
Bethel when you find yourself substituting habitual chapel
attendance for genuine personal devotion to God.
Or some day you may realize that you have lost your con-cern
for other people's welfare because you figure that your
companions are all Christians and do not need your help.
Christian living is not easy at Bethel. It is a constant
struggle against apathy which sets in because people are not
challenged by contact with non-Christians.
Now you might be expecting Bethel to be no different
than any other college even if it is a Christian school. Bethel
is unique because of its Christian committment.
You will recognize Bethel's distinctive characteristic when
your biology or history professor asks you to reconcile some
facts you have learned with your Christian faith. Teachers
and fellow students may challenge your cherished beliefs with
ideas that you have not thought about before, but they will
take a personal interest in your efforts to understand your
world and your faith.
Bethel is unique because it is a Christian college. Here
Christian faith is "considered relevant to all areas of human
knowledge and it constitutes the integrating principle for the
entire college program."

College Education Includes
More than Study, Degree
by Bob Beckstrom
Student Senate president
Why does a person go to college? Such a question seems
needless, since the answer is obviously simple—to get a
college education. But what constitutes a college education,
and how is it acquired? It is with this second qestion that stu-dent
government is directly involved.
If the answer to the second question is merely attending
college X number of years, enduring Y number of courses and
gulping down Z amount of information, then "college educa-tion"
has come to be equated with "college degree."
However, at Bethel it is assumed "that a college experi-ence
should bring a student to know himself, to appreciate
his intellectual and cultural heritage, to understand the
world and society in which he lives, to exercise critical judg-ment,
to be intellectualiy alert and to work effectively with
other people." (Bethel catalogue)
How, then, are these characteristics of a college education
to be acquired? Unfortunately there are some who believe
that a college education is obtained only in the classroom.
They fail to see how crowding in a dormitory, knocking
heads on the intramural football field, interacting with a
visiting lecturer, taking in a Baroque string ensemble, typing
copy for the CLARION or befriending an international student
at the University can contribute as much to their education
and growth as staying up all night to review Crime and Punish-ment
for freshman composition.
Working under the assumption that such student ac-tivity
outside the classroom is vital to the educative process,
Bethel's student senate stands as the only elected representa-tive
body on campus uniquely responsible for student welfare.
Through two major processes, the executive and the legisla-tive,
the Senate effects each individual student and, ulti-mately
the entire college program.
Executing a program of co-curricular activities through its
student life council, religious and social development, as well
as providing opportunities for planning and programming. New
this year will be a three day guest lecture series in the area
of Christianity and philosophy.
Other activities will include major social events, intramural
athletics, academic and religious forums, informal mixers,
concerts, alumni council vocational dinners and special emphasis
Senate also meets student needs by proposing appropri-ate
solutions to particular problems through its legislative
machinery. The legislative work of the senate is done in two
ways: committee and business meeting.
Non-senators are able to participate in both. This year the
regular senate meetings will be held weekly and "Town meet-ings"
will be held periodically with no structured agenda and
no limit on discussion.
Several major issues will be facing this year's Senate,
including continued work in the area of campus discipline,
correspondence with a Southern Negro college and organiza-tion
of a spring vacation relief trip to some depressed area
of the United States.

Coaches prepare for another gruelling practice at football camp
in Wood Lake, Wisconsin. Phil Carlson, Owen Halleen and Bob Smith
are three of the coaches who will whip the football team into shape at
camp workouts. They will see the first results of their work in a game

Coach Gene Glader expressed
the wish that "many more runners
will come out for cross country
this fall. Experience is not as im-portant
as the desire to run."
Bethel's football team, finishing
last year's season with a 6-2 record,
will begin its annual fall training
camp Sunday, Aug. 30. Coach Owen
Halleen expects approximately 50
men to come out for football.
All players will report to the
campus Saturday, Aug. 29 for phy-sicals.
The next day they will ride
buses to Woodlake Baptist camp
near Grantsburg, Wis. for the fifth
annual training at that camp.
"All men are welcome to at-tend
the camp," Halleen states,
and he doesn't hesitate to add,
"Regardless of experience or
size, football camp is a great way
to start the school year."
Coach Halleen and his assistants,
Dave Cox, Bob Smith and Jim Nel-son
will direct two workouts per
day on the field and give black-board
instructions inbetween. In
the evenings several Bethel facul-ty
members will speak to the play-ers.
Returning to campus Thursday,
Sept. 10, the Royals will rest a
day and then open their season
against Hamline on Saturday, Sept.
12 at Midway Stadium.
Hamline is expected to be
tough competition because their
team is on the way up. Last
year they had the best season
they have had for several years.
But the Royal gridders will dig
in and fight back to avenge
their 18-6 loss to Hamline last
Royals play their second game
Saturday, Sept. 19 against Sioux
Falls. Rivalry between the two
teams dates back to the time Bethel
started football fifteen years ago.
Two years ago, the last time the
teams played each other, Bethel
won 28-13.
Coach Halleen is looking for
"some good sized linemen" to fill
the gaps left by graduates. Holes
that will be hard to fill are the
ones left by co-captains Jerry Oas
and Jim Nelson.
Nelson was selected as an All-
American. He led the state in
scoring with 84 points and won
the most valuable player award
at Bethel for the fourth straight
year. His jersey, number 30, has
been permanently retired.
But this year's captains, fullback
Stan Miller, halfback Larry Stair
and end Duane Gibson will form
a strong nucleus for the new team.
by Mike Rynkiewich
This year's athletes will have to do some dedicated playing if they
are to match last year's sports showing. In the Pioneer Conference's
first year, Bethel athletes earned the championship in football, basketball
and track. Royals placed second in wrestling and tennis. And the baseball
team played to the championship in the Central Minnesota Conference.
But this year could be another good year for the Royals. Only nine
players in all sports were lost to graduation. Six football players are
gone, two basketball players and one track runner. Coaches expect
most of the veterans to return.
Still the Royals winning trend cannot continue without reinforce-ment
of athletic ranks. The number and quality of the freshmen who
turn out for sports will determine the kind of athletic year this will
be. And next year it will be an even more important factor, since
more senior athletes will be graduating.
Freshmen who come out for sports should be qualified—not just
with ability, height, weight and strength. They should desire to serve
God through sports, desire to discipline their lives and, above all, desire
to play the game.
Desire is probably the most important qualification for an athlete.
One player came out for football his freshman year at Bethel having
never played high school ball. He had a tough time, but he developed
a love for the game and stuck it out.
He will be a senior this year and has not yet played first string.
But his three years in football have not been wasted. To coaches and
players, his determination has been a source of inspiration.
When coach gets discouraged with the progress of the team, he
watches this little player holding his own and bouncing back when he
smacks into a bigger lineman. When players get to feeling low and want
to quit, they see this little player still fighting.
The sports world is not made only of strength and ability; it includes
desire. We need athletes, freshmen and veterans, who want to exert
themselves for the school.
Quarterback Dave Gehrke looks the defense over before
barking out the signals to his team. This year the team will again play
its home games at Midway Stadium.

Farm System- some good talent that helped the 2012 team (young pitching especially)- but I don't see alot of guys that could potentially help in 2013 where we need the help.
Marketing- After a strong start- I think Brooks Boyer is running out of gas- if you can't draw 2 million when you spend most of the season you're in 1st place and the cross town team is losing 100 games- I think marketing is accountable. "Dynamic pricing", worn out promotions like Mullett Night, etc., mediocre TV and newspaper advertising, etc.- they seem to really have lost their way in this area.
TV & Radio Announcers- IMHO Farmer & DJ are unlistenable- I only listen when I need a score- but I used to like having the radio on in the background while doing other things during the season- but not with these 2- I think both should be dumped. On the TV side- I'm more of a Hawk fan than most- but he showed a noticable decline this season, and the chemistry just isn't there with Stone.
I think this team needs some bold, offseason changes to get back on track- but there's no real evidence that JR has the inclination or the ability to execute aggressive changes quickly.
Very solid analysis of the situation.

Crazy Larry (In Turkish Cilgin Larry)
We are on the way of starting our business in Turkey. Sector is fruit
bucket or arrangements. One of our main competitors is
http://www.ediblearrangements.com . In Turkey, there are two main
competitiors. Our differentiation will come from customizitation of
buckets and our company culture with gerilla marketing approach.(we
are unconventional people with unconventional approaches)
We aim to change the competition and fill the gap where consumers want
to indulge theirself with more customized and less priced product. We
want them order for theirself not for special days only.
Earning money is our last objective. We want to shake industry and dream to be invited as Speaker in business seminars. We love to think creative and award creativity.
Our company name would be "Crazy Larry" . Name comes from our crazy
approaches and open innovation model(some confidential:). For instance
people can design their own bucket design. We will suprise our customers as well. We are here to oversatisfy our customers with unexpected aproaches
Our target customers are young to mid people (18 to 35 years old both male
and female. Always connected. Outgoing, maybe has an iphone. ) And these guys carry a child in their soul so logo should reflect this :D
Loves to share, some price sensitive but loves to indulge theirself. Has many friends.
We want a very showy logo. Maybe need a maskot like larry (it is your
creativty who is larry :) riding on a banana and try to catch funny
strawberries :)
We expect NOT just a word logo but something like that but much more better.
1- http://i35.tinypic.com/160r4ic.jpg, this is fine but not my expectation. I expect more detailed and elegant one.
http://www.fbclindon.org/images/son…-large.jpg This is nice work.
Fonts should be some elegant like this: http://www.zee.com.br/files/bw/logo24.jpg
Really good font and there is nice place for motto
Our keywords which may give you an insight for our brand: crazy,
indulging, customizable, no border, out of think, provocative, elegant
As you may feel, we expect a logo where you spend much time and spent
some tens of minutes or hours maybe. We will highly appreciate high
quality logos and will evaluate for our corporate branding and web
site design as well.
Please send the logo after you look and feel that it makes you think that there is something delicious and enjoyable. It must be a good hook to get you in the site. I think some pastel colors give more funny and crazy image.
In addition to this there should be a place for our company motto like "The Fruit Company", "Crazy and Sweety" and for "Since Yesterday". Minimum two places. This is good example for font and motto design http://www.zee.com.br/files/bw/logo24.jpg
These text places give more place to make such a logo: http://www.fbclindon.org/images/son…-large.jpg
Finally radial or some different shape for frame would be much better to make logo compact. Also will gave place for mottos and some other definitions
For any questions, please feel free to contact with me.
As I repeat, after this logo, next step is site design and we will prefer the logo designer in site design
Good luck

(Phoenix, Ariz. – September 22, 2008) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced the indictment of Ronald Jay Edwin, 52, of Scottsdale, on one count of fraudulent schemes and artifices, one count of theft, 10 counts of acquisition of narcotic drugs by fraud and one count of aggravated taking of the identity of another person. The charges, all felonies, relate to Edwin's alleged use of another person's identity without permission to obtain narcotic drugs.
According to court documents, between November 17, 2006, and January 29, 2008, Edwin unlawfully acquired 22 prescriptions for Actiq in the name of Robert Nelson. Actiq is a Schedule II Narcotic drug also known by the generic name Fentanyl.
Edwin allegedly obtained the prescriptions from Dr. Thomas Petrone, of whom he was a patient. To fill the prescriptions, Edwin allegedly represented himself to pharmacy staff as Robert Nelson and paid using Robert Nelson's Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Arizona insurance benefits.
Court documents state that Dr. Petrone knowingly wrote the prescriptions for Robert Nelson, despite the fact that Nelson had never been his patient. Petrone was not, however, involved in the submission of claims to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Arizona. Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Arizona paid over $180,000 for the 22 prescriptions.
In February 2008, Dr. Petrone entered into a consent agreement with the Arizona Board of Medical Examiners to resolve a matter unrelated to this case. As a result of this agreement, Petrone may not practice medicine involving direct patient care, and he is prohibited from prescribing treatments or prescriptions.
This case is the result of an investigation by the Department of Insurance. Assistant Attorney General Beverly Rudnick is prosecuting this case. Copies of the indictment and a photograph of Edwin are available on the Attorney General's Web site, www.azag.gov.

Reprinted from the Los Angeles Times magazine, March 29, 1998
I am just steps out of John Wooden's condo when I realize he has, once again, transformed me into Jack Nicholson, gazing across the dinner table at Helen Hunt. Wooden has made me want to be a better man.
My professional life is so much the antithesis of Wooden. It is basketball players with orange hair and boxers with an appetite for ear. In my world, Charles Barkley says he doesn't want to be a role model, and I thank the heavens.
I am cynical, with both reason and pride. I tell our political reporters that they are the second-most lied-to group at our paper. I live with coach-speak, player-spin and owner-hype. I'm not sure anymore which is more psychobabble, "Oprah" or the National Football League.
But I have found my safe harbor, my antidote for the Dennis Rodmans and Mike Tysons, in the form of a hunched-over, slightly rumpled 87-year-old former English teacher, the same former English teacher who dabbled enough in basketball to play on one Indiana State High School championship team (1927) and two national championship teams at Purdue (1930 and '32), and coach UCLA to 10 NCAA titles in the '60s and '70s.
Nobody else has ever done that. Nobody else ever will.
And nobody else will ever be like John Wooden.
Millions of words have been written about his 40 years in college coaching, about his 27 years at UCLA that not only produced the record 10 NCAA titles and a record 88-game winning streak, but also contributed to an 885-203 record and .813 winning average.
That, like so many things about this scholarly, dignified man, is unprecedented.
He lives in a small condominium on a quiet street in Encino, the same place chosen for them 25 years ago by his wife, Nell, to whom he was married for 53 years and to whom, by the very tone of his voice, he pays homage at any mention. She died in 1985, and yet Wooden's home remains, in many ways, a shrine to her. In his tiny study, stacked floor to ceiling with shelves of books, plaques, trophies and pictures, one wall is reserved for commemoration of the 10 national championships. There are 10 team pictures, symbolically configured in a triangle that represents his Pyramid of Success, a 15-step process that is the core of his philosophy.
"Nellie put them up like that," he says reverently.
John Wooden is a celebrity who either doesn't know it or doesn't show it. He drives a 1989 Ford Taurus with 25,000 miles on it ("It gets me there") and never has had much to do with charge cards ("Nellie and I didn't believe in them").
When he lunches out, his favorite stop is just down the street on Ventura Blvd., a place called Fromin's. He orders soup and half a sandwich and is oblivious to the buzz around him ("Hey, there's Johnny Wooden. Doesn't he still look great?").
When people stop by, he treats his guest like the royalty at the table. ("This is the sports editor of the Los Angeles Times. I'd like you to meet him.")
On the way out, he points to the empty table near the cashier. It was the favorite table of a longtime customer who died while eating there, and Fromin's has left the table there, unoccupied, with new flowers every day and a commemorative plaque. Wooden likes that sort of perpetuation of a person's memory.
Even now, 23 years after his retirement from UCLA, he is in demand. His telephone rings constantly, and he lets the message machine begin the screening process, but if he is there, he picks it up halfway through the incoming message. While not naive, he is also incurably friendly, remarkably patient and seldom short or gruff with anybody.
"Hi, Coach Wooden, this is Jim Smith from the High Premium and Low Payoff Insurance Company and I was calling to see if you'd be interested in . . . "
"Well, hello, Jim. How are you? I'm not really in the market for any insurance these days, but it was kind of you to call. Thank you so much."
He got a call recently from somebody who wanted a copy of his new book, "WOODEN: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court." The caller said he needed the book right away, so Wooden got one off the shelf, stuffed some padding in the envelope, packaged it up, taped it shut and went out and mailed it. The man had given Wooden a collect Federal Express number, but Wooden fretted that sending the book that way would be much too costly for the caller. It never occurred to him that few Hall of Fame sports figures prepare mailings for strangers.
He has no secretarial help, and when asked how he keeps it all straight, he responds proudly, with a huge smile on his face: "I'll show you." He returns from the tiny study with an 8-by-10 calendar, each day filled in in longhand. "See, I've got you right there. Bill Dwyre at 1 o'clock on the 18th, then changed to the 19th."
February is filled. March looks like it will get even busier. He will be at Monday night's national championship game in San Antonio. Wooden didn't go to the Final Four much after Nell died, but recently he has been attending. "Yes, I agreed to go this year," he says, half regretting that it will stir memories of her, half thrilled to still be part of the excitement.
Then there are appearances for basketball's version of the Heisman, the Wooden Award, plus speeches and appearances for his book and for a bank he represents, all adding up to a pace that would tire a 25-year-old.
"My children are always telling me to slow down," he says, "and I think I'm doing a better job of saying no to things."
Soon, the phone rings, the caller makes a request and Wooden is scribbling on February or March.
Wooden took the job at UCLA in 1948 for a salary of $6,000 and soon discovered that his paycheck was being signed by the president of the student association, who also signed the paychecks of the maintenance staff. Since the Associated Students didn't pay into any retirement fund, Wooden earned no retirement benefits during his first 12 years there. So his modest amount of speeches and appearances benefit not only his state of mind but also his state of pocketbook.
"Had I known some of the things about how my check was being handled and about the retirement situation," he says, "I would have never come to UCLA. But I agreed to come. It was my decision, my duty to find out all the things I should have."
His top salary was $32,500, with $8,000 more from postgame radio appearances that averaged about $50 a show. The $32,500 contract was his last at UCLA, given to him after nine national championships. The comparison with Wooden and the current average annual salary of $475,000 for Bruin coach Steve Lavin, 33, who had no head coaching experience before he got the job in 1996, has been made often recently.
But Wooden wants none of that: "These are different times, different economies. I'm very happy for Steve Lavin. I would never begrudge him what he got. I never compare myself to anybody else. My father taught me that. He would always say, 'Don't look back, don't whine, don't complain.'
"So I don't."
The head of the Wooden family of Martinsville, Ind., was Joshua Hugh Wooden, who went by Hugh.
He was a farmer who lost the farm in rural Centerton during the Depression. On the farm, there had been no running water and no electricity. Hugh's family included wife Roxie Anna, two girls and four boys. One girl died at birth, the other at age 3. The boys were all athletes, and at one time or another, all would be teachers.
Remaining from the Wooden family (one brother died in 1985 and another in January) is Billy, father of seven, all college graduates, and John Robert, who will say that a large influence in making him the most successful college basketball coach ever was his father.
"My father was not big but a physically strong man," Wooden says. "He was a gentle man, and Mr. Lincoln, my favorite American, said there is nothing stronger than gentleness. When I think of my father, I think of a gentle man.
"I've seen dogs that would scare me to death, and my father would go up to them and they'd just lick his hand.
"I know I'd rather take a whipping than hear him say a bad word to me.
"He'd read to us at night. That's where I first got my love for poetry. I can remember him reading Hiawatha. 'By the shores of Gitche Gumee, by the shining Big-Sea-Water . . . '
"Without a great deal of formal education, he was a high school graduate, a great chess player. And crossword puzzles. You'd get a word on a crossword puzzle, an unusual word, he'd have it. And three weeks later, he would still have that word. Well, I've loved crossword puzzles for a long time, and I work them and get words by working around the other words. Then it will come up the next day and I won't remember it. Dad would always remember.
"He was a kind man. I never heard him say an unkind word about anybody. He always said if you can't say something nice, just keep your mouth shut.
"We lost the farm between my freshman and sophomore years in high school. Dad had decided he wanted to raise hogs. Well, the hogs had been inoculated for cholera, and he got some bad serum. They all died. He never blamed anybody. It was just a decision he made.
"Then he invested a little something in some company that turned out to be crooked, so he lost all that. But he didn't blame anybody. He'd made the decision.
"So we moved [from the farm] into this little town called Martinsville, 30 miles south of Indianapolis. Martinsville was known as the Artesian City and that's because of the Artesian wells. At that time, I think there were seven sanatoriums. Something like Hot Springs, Ark. People would come from Europe and other places, and Dad became a bath attendant. He worked there till he died (in 1960). Never complained about what happened."
It is a night in November, a black-tie dinner at the Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, and John Wooden is to be the featured guest and speaker.
He will share the spotlight on a program that has been advertised as "a night with John Wooden and some of the greatest basketball players in the world." Those basketball players are all in wheelchairs, all with Paralympic and national championship credentials. Outside, guests start filing in for the cocktail party. Inside, while the tables are still being set and the doors are closed to the cocktail party, they come to him, one by one, shyly at first, then surrounding him in tuxedos, cocktail dresses and chairs with wheels.
They are first intimidated, then charmed. Dave Kiley, perhaps the most honored and successful wheelchair athlete in the country, flew all the way from the East to be part of the program. "I wouldn't have missed this for anything," he says. Ruth Nunez, here from Champaign, Ill., and fast becoming Kiley's female counterpart, hangs on every word. "I can't believe I got to meet John Wooden," says she.
Businessman Barry Eichorn is retrieved from the cocktail party. He is a Southern California native as well as a former college basketball player at Pasadena City College and Weber State. He has admired Wooden from afar but never met him. They sit, alone, in this huge ballroom, talking basketball. Afterward, he is asked what they talked about. Eichorn doesn't say much. It's almost as though the conversation, no matter how trivial, is too sacred to repeat.
The dinner, called a Tribute to Courage, is for Casa Colina, a Pomona rehabilitation hospital. During the program, Wooden makes it clear that any courage he has shown in whatever he has done is minuscule compared to that surrounding him onstage. As more than a dozen world-class athletes in wheelchairs are introduced and their achievements chronicled, Wooden looks almost in awe. Later, he says, "I was."
But, as always, it is the almost folksy, homespun philosophy of Wooden that carries the night. He is from the same Midwestern stock that brought us Will Rogers' wit and now brings us John Wooden's wisdom. Interestingly, it is the wisdom of somebody who never met a man he didn't like.
In a quiet way, Wooden is becoming the poet laureate of reason, kindness and decency in a sports world that offers less of that all the time.
When the program ends at 10 p.m., the audience is invited to bring Wooden the copies of his book that each attendee has received. He has agreed to do autographs. The line snakes through the ballroom. Wooden signs each meticulously, with personal messages for all that wish one. All do.
At 11:25 p.m., having listened to each story and satisfied each request, Wooden rises stiffly, feeling the effects of hip replacement surgery and a right knee that has almost no cartilage left, and shuffles off for his 45-minute ride home.
Just days later, Casa Colina receives checks totaling nearly $15,000 -- from people who have already paid between $3,000 and $5,000 for a table -- in additional contributions to its wheelchair sports program. Each donor cites the inspiration of Wooden's words, at the banquet or in his book:
* Discipline yourself and others won't need to.
* If I am through learning, I am through.
* What is right is more important than who is right.
* Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.
* The time to make friends is before you need them.
Wooden's departure from UCLA was sudden, unlike his 1948 arrival and relatively slow march to a national dynasty that began with the first national title in 1964.
It was 1975, NCAA Final Four, San Diego.
"Ten minutes before I decided to retire, I didn't know I was going to do it," Wooden says. "Nobody believes that, but it is true.
"On Saturday night, we played Louisville in the semifinals. A beautiful game. Both teams had similar styles. Both teams played well. Neither team should have lost, but of course the right one did. We won it in overtime, and in many ways we were fortunate to win. There is always more satisfaction in a tight game than in one you run away with.
"I talked to Denny [Louisville Coach Crum] for a few minutes, and then, as I left him, I normally would head for the press conference. But for the first time, I didn't want to go. First time that ever happened to me. The lights were going to be flashing and microphones in my face, and I thought to myself, 'I don't want to do this.' Suddenly, I realized if I feel this way, it's time to get out.
"So I veered off and headed for the dressing room first, and I congratulated my players on the wonderful game they had played. I told them I don't know how we will do Monday night against Kentucky. I think we'll do all right because we are quicker than they are. They are stronger physically, but we are quicker.
"I think we'll be all right. I don't know, but I think so. But regardless of how the game comes out Monday, I want you to know that I've never had a team in all my years of whom I've been more proud. You haven't caused me a problem on or off the court all year long, and I'm just very proud of you. And that's nice to feel about the last team I'll ever coach.
"When I got to the press conference, somebody asked me what I felt about this year's team. Well, that gave the opening and I said what I had said to my players: that I've had more physically talented teams, but I've never had a team that gave me more satisfaction. Now I think we have an excellent chance to win it all, and if we do, no team has ever given me more satisfaction than this last team I'll ever coach."
Just like that, a shocker dropped in the lap of the press and public, moments after dropping it in the lap of his team. Wooden says that athletic director J. D. Morgan spent much of the rest of the night trying to get him to change his mind.
And Wooden says there were some mitigating factors: "Nellie wasn't feeling good, and she was also worried about me, because I'd had some little heart problems.
"And then something else had happened which I haven't really talked about. And I'm not proud of this. It is a weakness on my part. My feelings had been hurt.
"You probably disagree with me, and I understand that. You have a job, and I have a job. I never believed in letting reporters into the locker room after the games. Dressing rooms were small, and if you let one reporter in, you have to let them all in. I always let the press take players outside. You were welcome to take them outside. Players they want, just tell me.
"Well, there had been some conflict about that, and the tournament committee had just passed a rule that you had to let reporters into the dressing room. OK, so the tournament decides, so I'll go along with that. But then the chairman of the tournament committee says, after they pass that rule, 'That'll take care of John Wooden . . . . '
"Now, I don't think they ever had a coach more cooperative with tournament committees. I believe that in my heart. I never missed a meeting, and lots of coaches did. That one thing I disagreed with, but if they say you do it, then you do it. But for him to make that statement -- and it was in all the papers -- it hurt me. That's a weakness on my part. I let it hurt me, and I shouldn't have."
On March 31, 1975, UCLA beat Kentucky, 92-85. It was John Wooden's 10th national title, his last game. Retirement had begun and, as his father had advised years before, Wooden never looked back.
So who was the tournament committee chairman in 1975?
Wooden won't say.
The NCAA tournament record book from 1975 lists Tom Scott of Davidson as the Division I tournament chairman that year.
Wooden won't confirm any name.
"It was my weakness," he says, "my failing."
How Wooden wound up at UCLA and stayed there for 27 years is fascinating, almost eerie.
He wanted to be a civil engineer but was told at Purdue that such majors must go to summer engineering camp. Since there were no athletic scholarships in those days, even an All-American such as Wooden was required to pay for his schooling. Wooden needed to work during the summer and couldn't afford to go to engineering camp.
He became an English major.
During World War II, he was a Navy lieutenant about to be shipped out to the USS Franklin, on tour in the Pacific. But on his scheduled departure day, his appendix ruptured, and the man who replaced him on the mission, friend and Purdue quarterback Freddie Stalcup, was killed when a kamikaze pilot scored a damaging hit on the Franklin.
Wooden returned from the war and took a job teaching English at South Bend Central High School. He says he would have been content to stay there forever, teaching English until retirement. But he didn't like the way some of his teaching colleagues were being moved around in their jobs upon their return from military service. On principle, he started looking around at other things, including a basketball coaching job at Indiana State.
He took that, was very successful in two seasons and became a hot prospect for a job at a bigger school. The job he liked most was at Minnesota, since it was close to home and a Big Ten school. Others were in the running, including UCLA, which had just suffered through a 12-13 season under coach Wilbur Johns. Minnesota officials had promised they would call at a certain time, but a snowstorm had knocked down some power lines and they were about half an hour late with their job offer. By then, UCLA had called, and Wooden had accepted.
Upon retirement, Wooden needed to look no farther than Southern California for the next chapter.
"My father always told me to hold sacred my faith, family and friends," he says. "I always put family first, even though your faith probably should be."
He has two children, James Hugh Wooden and Nancy Ann Muehlhausen, seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
"I am blessed," he says. "They are all right here in Southern California, right here around me."
They are all a daily reminder of Nell, who lived for the first 10 years of his retirement and who inspired yet another of Wooden's maxims: The best thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
Wooden never played favorites with his basketball team, and he won't with his grandchildren or great-grandchildren. But there is a special corner in his heart for a great-grandchild named Cameron.
Cameron Trapani is 4 1/2. He had a stroke in the womb about five months into his mother's pregnancy. Doctors didn't think he'd live, and he had to survive heart surgery at age 1 1/2. Today, his disabilities remain severe.
Cameron's mother is Cathleen Amy Trapani, one of Muehlhausen's three daughters. "I am so proud of Cathleen Amy," Wooden says. "When she found out how severely disabled Cameron would be, she went very quickly from 'Why me?' to 'Why not me?' "
Wooden carries copies of a poem he found and gave to Cathleen Amy, something she can pick up and read as needed. Wooden sits down and reads it just about every time he comes home from visiting Cameron. It was written by Lou Franchini and is called "Heaven's Special Child."
A meeting was held quite far from earth:
"It's time again for another birth,"
Said the angels to the Lord above.
"This special child will need much love.
"His progress may seem very slow,
"Accomplishments he may not show,
"And he'll require extra care
"From the folks he meets way down there.
"He may not run or laugh or play,
"His thoughts may seem quite far away.
"In many ways he won't adapt,
"And he'll be known as handicapped.
"So let's be careful where he's sent.
"We want his life to be content.
"Please, Lord, find the parents who
"Will do a special job for you.
"They will not realize right away.
"The leading role they're asked to play.
"But with this child sent from above,
"Come stronger faith and richer love.
"And soon they'll know the privilege given
"In caring for this gift from Heaven.
"Their previous charge, so meek and mild,
"Is Heaven's very special child."
I am finished now. we have spent hours together, him talking and me taping. I have no more questions, no more tape, no more pretense to stay here and soak up more of the gospel of life according to John Wooden.
My real world awaits my return. There are hockey players with fire extinguishers and basketball coaches with chairs to throw. I have just spent some of the best hours of my life with a man of little means and so much left to give, and I return to reporting on millionaires with so much left to take.
And so we leave his condo.
On Oct. 14, 2000, he will be 90 years old. Yet he walks me out, shuffling alongside and making sure the gate is open and that I can find my way comfortably. My comfort is his.
As I drive away, I remember something he told me weeks ago, a quote from Mother Teresa that he found meaningful: "A life not lived for others is not a life."
And I find myself wondering if there really is another one like him out there, or if this really is as good as it gets.

Minghella was a filmmaker of quiet strength who seemed somehow more closely aligned with those directors of a previous generation -- like David Lean or Carol Reed -- than with his contemporaries. With films such as "Truly, Madly, Deeply," "The English Patient" "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain," Minghella was a practitioner of a mature cinematic style that seemed slightly out of step with the youth-cult of contemporary Hollywood.
There was something of the Hollywood classicist in his films, which might have made them occasionally seem a touch staid, but they were nevertheless always sturdy, impeccably constructed and seamlessly engaging. His debut feature, "Truly, Madly, Deeply," was released in 1991, when Minghella was nearing 40, an age by which some filmmakers have already come on strong and lost their touch. Once he made the leap to bigger pictures with "The English Patient," a throwback to sweeping, epic melodramas, it would be Minghella'semotional acuity and flair for offhanded internationalism that would really mark him as a director.
Minghella won the Academy Award for best director for "The English Patient" (1996), and he also received two nominations for adapted screenplay. His skill in teasing out powerful performances was evidenced by the five Oscar nominations for acting stemming from his films. Juliette Binoche in "The English Patient" and Renée Zellweger in "Cold Mountain" each won best supporting actress under Minghella's direction.
While some would have it that the overwhelming Oscar success of "The English Patient" - 12 nominations and nine wins, including best picture -- was more a credit to the awards-season savvy and bullish marketing of distributor-producer Harvey Weinstein and his dream team of campaign mechanics, it's too easy to write off the film in this way. Audiences were genuinely swept up in, and moved by, the exotic locales and powerful emotions of the film, and that speaks entirely to the subtle skill and gentle craft of Minghella.
Showing an unlikely streak of tough-minded perversity, Minghella followed his career-making triumph with an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999). A twisted tale of identities mistaken and assumed, the story proved to be an unexpectedly fertile ground for Minghella, who mined dazzlingly complex and resonant performances from his central cast of Jude Law (in what for now stands by far as his best performance), Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow. Seeming at times no less a picture-book travelogue than "The English Patient," "Mr. Ripley" has arguably aged better than its predecessor for the exact reasons it was less of a success on its initial release. Thorny, tricky and troubling, "Ripley" is the work of a filmmaker in full command of the resources of the cinema as well as with a keen grasp on his own talent.
Minghella went on to direct Law and Binoche again in "Breaking and Entering" (2006), and he recently finished "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency." Working with Sydney Pollack, he also helped to shepherd such films as "The Quiet American," "The Interpreter" and "Michael Clayton" to the screen as a producer. As further proof of his commitment to the arts, he also served from 2003 until recently as chair of the British Film Institute.
No small part of what set him apart as a filmmaker may simply have come from the fact that he lived a life before stepping behind the camera, an increasingly rare trait in directors. He pursued a career in academia and as a playwright before going to work as a writer on a number of BBC productions.
In "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film" in 2002, critic David Thomson wrote, "My guess is that Minghella, for all his great skills, is a slow and even a shy developer. I doubt we have yet seen the best or even the darkest from him." Beyond the sorrow that goes with any death and the sense of mourning for family, friends and colleagues, it is exactly that anticipation, and now the sense of loss of things to come, which puts a particular sting in his passing.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—The Sindecuse Health Center at Western Michigan University has been reaccredited for three more years by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
"Accreditation assures patients of our commitment to quality health care," says Carol Eddy, executive director of Sindecuse. "We're reviewed for reaccreditation every three years. I'm proud to report that we've been reaccredited five consecutive times since first being accredited by AAAHC in 1997."
Accreditation distinguishes WMU's health center from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation undergo an extensive self-assessment and on-site survey by AAAHC expert surveyors—physicians, nurses and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory health care. Not all organizations seek accreditation and not all that do are granted accreditation.
For more information, contact Carol Eddy at email@example.com or (269) 387-3282.
About the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care
The AAAHC, founded in 1979, is an independent, not-for-profit organization that serves as an advocate for the provision of high-quality health care through the development of nationally recognized standards and through its survey and accreditation programs. It is the leader in ambulatory health care accreditation with more than 5,000 organizations accredited nationwide.
The AAAHC accredits organizations including student health centers, ambulatory surgery centers, office-based surgery centers, military health care clinics, endoscopy centers, and large medical and dental practices. Its accreditation is recognized as a symbol of quality by third-party payers, medical organizations, liability insurance companies, state and federal agencies and the public.

Kevin Jonas Snubs Fan + Makes Her Cry
Jonas Brothers fans are one of the most dedicated bunch around, and as we've seen time and time again, the JoBros usually take the time to sign autographs and take pictures until their fingers and eyes bleed. Well, it looks like one-third of the band has had enough.
Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle were out dining at Katsuya in Hollywood the other night, and fans waited for the pop star outside in the pouring rain just to get a glimpse of the 'Married to Jonas' star. But one fan got snubbed... and it is just so sad.
Upon exiting the restaurant, Kevin did take pictures with a bunch of the dedicated and went fans, but the mega-fan got tripped up in the hustle and bustle of it all and actually got snubbed by the star she was longing to meet! The snub ultimately left the girl in tears... and boy were there lots and lots of tears.
There's no way to tell if the snub was on purpose or if was just time to get into the car (and out of the rain for crying out loud) and head on home, but the video from TMZ makes it worse because we know we would just die if we got snubbed by our fave Britney Spears.
We feel for you, girl!
