It had to happen. Sooner or later the
sterile walls would be violated. And
some people, notably creative types and
art majors, are delighted. Even Bethel's
elite intelligentsia are participating in
that great new indoor sport-bathroom
wall writing.
While most of us agree that the usual
graffiti in public places consists solely
of "bathroom humor" (no pun intended),
some of the words on Bethel's walls can
boast of being socially and anti-socially
I am not condoning graffiti as a nice
thing to do, but I am glad that Bethel
has become sort of vulnerably human.
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even
mind if the janitors forgot to clean it
Bethel's graffiti can presently be
viewed almost exclusively in the mens'
restrooms. Frankly, the absence of graffiti
in the womens' restrooms is puzzling.
Perhaps men are braver than women;
but the opposite may also be true. Is it
that men are more hindered in their attempts
at self-expression and communication
with others? If so, they may be
attempting to express previously inexpressible
emotions much as they did in
their oral stage. Men, do you recall
being discovered scribbling on your bedroom
walls? But enough of sexism.
Since historians and anthropologists
have found that graffiti provides insights
into the everyday lives of men and
women, several theories about graffiti
and man's need for communication have
developed. Graffiti supposedly acts as
an index for customs and institutions
through the judicious use of private
words as social comment.
You may be wondering how a female
Bethel sophomore would find out what
is written on the walls in the mens'
restrooms. I can only plead the first
amendment and refuse to disclose the
whereabouts of my peepholes.

Bethel responds tOI
nee,d in Viet Nam
We applaud the recent efforts of the Bethel community
in its response to World Vision's expression of need in South
Vietnam. Not only was an offering taken for this cause'
on Tuesday in chapel, but the Student Senate voted to send
$4000 as well.
In a letter from Gordon Werkema, president of the
Christian College Consortium, to leaders of the student body,
he outlined the needs of World Vision.
"World Vision has been in South Viet Nam for 10 years
and has invested millions of dollars there," the letter read.
"Its staff is trained ' and can distribute all materials that
are received. Its warehouse has been emptied by refugee
needs in the past few weeks. The needs are critical. The
money is gone. According to officials, 'The coffers are
empty.' "
It is through efforts like this that the evangelical community
will fulfill its Christian obligation to feed the hungry.
It is through efforts like this that Christianity may acquire
a better image in the world.
Those who have further interest in World Vision and
this project may call Bob Biehl, (213)-357-1111, Ext. 326.

Mi'cke/se,n o'nswe'rs Piper
Dear Editor:
I apppreciate Dr. Piper's willingness to respond at some
length to my article in the Clarion on the subject of women
in the church. Unfortunately, much of what he said was
'. irrelevant to the discussion at hand. He complained that
I neglected Paul's teachings about submission. The subject
assigned to me was the place of women in the community
of believers - not the position of women in marriage -
so I addressed myself to that topic only. And because even
that subject is so vast and space in the Clarion is so
limited, I chose to limit myself largely to the attitude of
Jesus toward women since this is generally neglected, and
because I knew that Claire Kolmodin was going to discuss
some of Paul's teachings.
But I do appreciate Dr. Piper's careful documentation
that Paul taught the same things that Jesus taught. I fully
agree, for I have no argument with Paul - only with the
way Paul is often interpreted. I think Paul often has been
the victim of a bad press because only a few specific
passages of Paul's (those quoted by Dr. Harley) have been
repeated over and over in Christian circles and the remainder
of Paul's teachings and actions regarding women have been
ignored. What Paul does throws great light on what he
means. (The same principle applies to Christ.) When those
of Paul's teachings mentioned by Dr. Harley are carefully
considered within their grammatical, historical and cultural
context (the foundational approach for a sound hermeneutic)
their real meaning becomes considerably clearer. However,
that kind of consideration is not possible within the limitations
of a Clarion article or letter. I have conducted studies
on Biblical teachings about women in several Twin Cities
churches (the next will be in May at First Covenant, St.
Paul) and I always devote at least two full hours to indepth
study of Paul's teachings.
Dr. Piper's statement that the narratives (about the Samaritan

count, etc.) are "ambiguous" surprises me. They seem quite
clear to me. And the statement tha\ the Samaritan woman
was "witnessing" to the people in her village rather than
"teaching" is surely a matter of semantics. Actually, the
Greek phrase used in John 4:28 is "said to the men."
The word "said" also introduces most of Jesus' teachings.
Incidentally, Christ told his disciples at the ascension to be
"his witnesses." Does this mean they were not "teaching"
when they made known all that Jesus had said and done?
I was even more surprised at Piper's implicit suggestion
that Jesus' - actions and His example are not meant to
teach us anything about what our own attitudes or actions
are to be, and that if I think otherwise I must find
"immense significance in the fact that the twelve apostles
whom Jesus chose and to whom he gave authority included
no women." Dr. Piper surely knows that to find significance
in what Jesus did is far different from finding the
same significance in what He did NOT do! After all, on
ltis argument, he must also face the fact that the twelve
apostles to whom Christ gave authority did not include any
Gentiles - so where does that leave Messrs. Harley and
I appreciated Dr. Harley's comment that his position was
tentative, but it really was unnecessary to say, for in a
community of Christian believers, most of us assume the
integrity of each other, and that includes being 'open honest
seekers after the truth of God's Word, whether or not
it goes against our own personal ideas or those that have
been traditionally taught us even by our own churches. God's
Word is our supreme authority - not just a few isolated
verses but ALL of it - and it is to be studied with humility
and candor by every man and wom~n.

Dear Editor:
Alvera Mickelsen
My husband, a Bethel history professor, shares the
Clarion with me and I could not help but write of my personal
experiences in response to the articles on the role of
My girlhood and early marriage role conformed to Dr.
Harley's views and as a consequence I did not view myself
as a worthwhile· person with contributions to make to so-
. ciety. At thirty-five I was a tired, bored, old w<;>man. As
my husband came to accept "women's lib" he encouraged
me to go to college - he pushed me out of my safe.
nest into the "cold, cruel" world. - I'll never forget the
excitement of that first day - the beginning a rebirth.
Since that day my husband has helped me become an
individual, to make my own decision, to do my own thing
(like writing this letter without his knowledge). He invites
me to share in family decision making, respects my judgment,
and encourages my independence.
I must write this letter because I see so many bitter,
frustrated, unfulfilled women. They have lived to serve their
children and husbands and when that is gone, little remains.
Others have written concerning Christ's acceptance of
women. I am comfortable that my life style is acceptable
in the light of His teaching.
I've tried living both ways during my 50 years. At no
time have I been so contented, happy, and proud to be a
woman as I am today.

... -and what does Marshall
have to say about women?
Dear Editor:
At the risk of being catagorized a heretic for differing
with faculty members on biblical interpretation, or worse
yet, being classified as another typical outspokep., spleenventing
letter-to-the-editor writer, I offer this single obser- .
vation on the current Clarion "Where do Women Stand'"
Could it be that both sides have not mentioned what
is perhaps the core of the Bi9le's teaching on the subject?
That is, namely, not what does the Bible teach, but why.
Usually God has solid reasons for the teachings he gives
us. Could it be that the reason for the "submissive" teachings
was because the culture of the time was nbt ready for a
more influential role for women? Even today, many countries
in the world would be unable to cope with women who
seek more meaningful ways of self-fulfillment.
But in America today, secular society seems ready to
accept women as equals to men. Why should the church,
of all institutions, drag its corporate feet in granting women
the right to pursue whatever ministry they feel most
suited ' for? We can double our_ brain-power and human
resources without doubling our population. Think of it!
Paul, in the book of Philemon, teaches that we shouldn't
"rock the boat" in relation to slaves and masters, but he
didn't condone the practice either. Similarly, many women are
content to serve by tending the nursery or heading potluck
supper committes. But that doesn't mean we should
deny others the chance to hold administrative jobs.
Perh~ps people aren't ready yet to accept a woman
pastor, and her ministry might be handicapped by people's
present attitudes, but we could use more women in executive
positions, on boards and other top leadership posts.

Take a kid to -a good children's theater
by Pam Schultz
Why would a children's theater be of any interest to
college students? The obvious answer is, it isn't. The only
time. it · might be is when a student becqmes snaTed by an
unreasonable whim to take a child to the theater. But
why choose a professional troupe like the Children's Theater
Company . (CTC), where the seats are $5.50, $4.50, and $3.50,
when a neighborhood production would be much cheaper?
All children's productions are fluff and gauze' anyway.
John Clark Donahue, genius behind the Children's Theater
Compc;my of Minneapolis, doesn't think so. Mike Steele, staff
writer for the ' Minneapolis Tribune, writes, "Most of us,
I suspect, still think of children's theater as loud, colorful,
trite, simple-minded fare intended to occupy the small minds
of brainless children. Too many still see thea ter as a
propaganda tool, instilling morals, ethics, patriotic emotions
and the like into kids." (lWnneapolisTrlbune, July 9, 1972).
Donahue, however, believes in the excellence of theater,
especially for children. He has said, "We believe it is
essential that our children have the finest we can create
for them, and hopefully the future will find a way to bring,
every child to our work or us to him. Children must be
inspired, challenged, taught, mystified, not simply pacified
or excited to squeals."
The "troupe began as the Moppet Players, producing their
plays out of a donated restaurant room in 1961. In 1962
they moved to a reconditioned police station and Donahue
. joined the troupe as painter, set designer, teacher and
director. In these early years they played to more than
10,000 people each season. By 1965 the Moppets had outgrowri
the police station and Donahue appealed to the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts for a new home. The Institue opened its
old auditorium and the group opened for the first time as
the Children's Theater Company . .
Now the CTC 'works out of their new $4.5 million
theater/classroom building at Minneapolis Fine Arts Park.
The building was created by Japanese architect, Kenzo Tange
and has been called, "the largest, most comprehensive performing
arts facility in the United States."
Donahue feels that "in order to have fine theater, you
have to have a school, a place to train people and create
a. sense of legacy, a way of passing something on." Thus,
the Theater School was born where junior high and senior
high s~dents are immersed in theater three hours a day,

five days a week. Their intense study includes gymnastics,
pantomime, ballet, singing, karate, modern dance, yoga, set
design, writing, puppetry and even gardening. The students
attend public school 'in the morning and the Theater School
in the afternoons and evenings.
"So many artists are so involved in getting their own
careers together that they don't even think about what kind
of investment they're making in the future of art itself,"
Donahue says.
The Theater's productions themselves are Vivid and original.
Good Morning, Mr. Tillie, produced in 1970 and
written by Donahue is a story of a little man chased by
fear through jungles, streets, ballrooms ~ finally conquer-
"the significant
spirit of our work
is found in the
spirit of ' a child"
ing his fear. It was a dream fantasy told through mime
and dance on a white and black setting. Pinocchio produced
through October-N~vember 1974, was rewritten by the resident
playwright, Timothy Mason for the Company.
Donahue feels that children "do not know and do not
need to know what everything they see means, but to recognize
the beautiful, pure and true and cherish it. What about
the evil and the depraved, the emptiness and the terror?
Tell it too, but tell it with the same joy and wonder as
before - it deserves it, to be sure."
The Children's Theater company produces adult plays
during their season as well as children's play's, but Donahue
says, "The CTC will continue to produce works as diverse
as Moliere, Chekhov and Mother Goose, collaborate with
opera and dance, create new experimental works as well
as tell the old familiar tales, but the 'children' will always
be there. . . for the significant spirit of our work is found
in the spirit of a child."

Ve vant your
blood, okay?

Calling all red-blooded Bethelites!
The Red Cross Blood Drive needs your
help to help others!
The St. Paul Regional 'Red 'Cross will
conduct its yearly ' spring blood drive
in the Bethel gym on Tuesday, April
29, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Linsey Ericson,
co-chairman with Betty Lindquist,
says that the blood drive committee is
hoping that students, faculty and staff
will donate 300 pints of blood. Doners
must be at least 17 years old, weigh
a minimum of 110 pounds and not have
donated for 56 days.
A sign-up table will be open by , the
P.O.'s from 11 a.m. to 2 :30 p.m. until
Monday, April 28. Everyone is urged
to sign up, and then keep his appointment.
The donation process will probably
tal:e an hour. Volunteers, especially good
typists, are also needed to work for
at least half-day stretches. Contact Linsey
(P.O. 457), Betty (P.O. 1264), or
Karen Carlson (P.O. 377) if you can help.
Linsey stressed that donating blood
is not pard, does not take much time
and is no ' more painful than a friendly
poke in the arm. "It's not that much
when you consider how much otber
people need it." It doesn't take that
much out of you - go ahead and help

Why does a man, established in an academic community,
just entering the prime of his life, and holding a Ph.D.
in linguistics, decide to leave all and go trucking off to the
land of Indonesia? This question went through my mind when
I heard that Dr. Edmund Anderson Would be leaving Bethel
at the close of this academic year. After all, he seemed
content here, and many thought he would eventually become
a landmark on campus - as easily recognizable as Doc
Dalton and his coffee corner.
Ed, as his students call him, apparently asked himself
the same question when the Inter-Mission Language and Cultural
Center (IMLAC) asked him to come to Indonesia to
head its new school.
"Many hours of prayer were needed to find the path
I chose," explained Ed. "When the decision was made it
came hard, because I am content here. Yet God's need
for the present had to be accomplished."
Late this spring Ed will leave the United States for
at least two years, and make his new home in Indonesia.
There he will be the head of a school which breaks with
the "pure formalism" of past linguistics schools. His duties
will include selection of teachers and curriculum', establishment
of' a library (Learning ' Resource Center for those
who don't understand the archaic expression), selection of
nationals to assist in all realms of the academic world,
and all , the duties which the administrator of a school
must perform.
"The school is conceived as a place where missionaries
can go to learn how to learn," he remarked. "Its purpose
is to soften the cultural shock -of those heading for field

Carlson asks GMAE
to stop resol ution
The Greater Minneapolis Association of Evangelicals may
draft a resolution in favor of rescinding the Equal Rights
Amendment. In a meeting on Monday, April 14, board members
of ' the GMAE held an open meeting to discuss the
possibility of formulating such a resolution. G. William
Carlson, assistant professor of -political science and history
at Bethel College, presented a statement to the board members
advocating no formulation of an official evangelical
position on the amendment.
The GMAE represents many evangelical churches in the
'l'win Cities area,among them the churches of the IBaptist
General Conference. The Conference supports the ,National
Association of Evangelicals, and therefore is also represented
by the GMAE, the local branch of the NAE.
The Equal Rights Amendment, known as ERA, was
passed through both houses of the Uirited States Congress
by 1972. It is now up for ratification by the states. When
two-thirds of the state legislatures have ratified the ERA, it
will become law. As of now, only several more states are
needed to reach the two-thirds majority needed. The state ,
legislature of Minnesota ratified the ERA by a significant
margin. However, there is a movement in the state legislature
at the present time to rescind Minnesota's ratification
of the amendment. It is this movement to which the GMAE
would be addressing itself in such a resolution.
In his statement, Carlson outlined his reasons against
formulating a resolution to rescind. He argued that evangelicals
should individually support the \ ERA, as the amendment's
advantages will far outweight the problems it may
"I think the ,ERA has to be a matter of individual
\ conscience as far as Christian evangelicals are concerned.
Sincere evangelicals have, and will, have honest differences
on this topic.
"The ERA is n'ot the ultimate answer t<1 unjust discrimination,
because you can't legislate attitudes. What it will
do is create a situation in which one will remove at
least legal discrimination," Carlson said.
In tbe statement, Carlson listed several of the Amend-ment's
greatest advantages: .
-E'RA will sp~eed elimination of discrimination by making
equal rights a "right" of all citizens, 'and by not leaving'
the establishment of such rights up to legislative initiative
a~d individual court decision.
-it will be a valuable instrument in bringing women to
the full status of human beings through its public education
-it will also guarantee the . rights of men, particularly
in the area of laws governing family conflict (divorce, child
custody, alimony)
-one of the major objections to the ERA is whether
or not it would result in the conscription of women into
the armed services. Most argue that if the draft is reinstated,
the ERA will require women to be drafted. However,
it is probable that women who would be drafted would
not see combat duty. It would also be possible to provide
exemptions from military service for families with children.

reviews 'The Hiding Place'

The ffiding Place at Har Mar theater. Before the movie
began I prayed in the fiercest way I knew how, "Please
Jesus, just for two hours and twenty minutes, let me be
19 again and a non-Christian, to see if this movie reaches
The movie did not capture my interest immediately.
It opens with a dinner scene at the ten Booms. The
BBC is crackling, and the Queen is woefully describing the
fall of the Netherlands, the invasion of tyranny. Panoramic
shots of the canals, children in wooden shoes and the
beginning trickle of yellow Jewish stars seems to take up the
first quarter of the movie. Nothing real happens until Corrie
(Jeanette Clift) and Betsie (Julie Harris) decide to join
the Dutch Underground and smuggle . Jews out of Holland.
Yet, in spite of the slow beginning, the movie· gives
a picture of Christian life; not a "saintly" life of milk
and honey, but one of impossible choices on an arduous path.
Betsie capsules the ten Boom's feelings when she expresses
her fear about the Underground, saying she would shut the
door and never open it again to any Jews. "But I must
follow Jesus," and Jesus tells the ten Booms to open the
door, "to anyone in need who knocks."
Casper ten Boom, the sisters' father, answers the Nazi's
charge of disloyalty t6 the government, "There comes a time
when a man must choose between God and the .state."
He upholds the decision with his life, dying in a Nazi
And Corrie - vibrant, headstrong Corrie - conquers a
Christian's greatest cancer, hate. In a work camp where
she is told she can only survive by hating, Betsie and her
faith teach Corrie to love her enemies.
Actual Scripture passages are few and though effective,
they are unobtrusive. Allan Sloane, script writer, has not
been preachy. When Katje, a fellow prisoner at Ravensbruk
(the women's work camp), asks how to receive Christ,
Corrie does not whip out a 1944 version of "Four Steps
to Peace with God," but says simply, "Ask Him. He
knows what you want."
It is a good film. I cannot go so far as to call it
a masterpiece. Christian movies must be judged by the
world's standards, and stand without excuse. The IHding Place
as a movie has a slow first half and a lack of variation
in emotion communicated especially through the musical
score. The heaviness during the second half is nearly unbearable
by the end. Practically the entire movie is sad,
and some contrast, merely for dramatic effect, is needed.
But the greatest problem with the movie is its ending.
Those acquainted with Billy Graham films know that it is
his habit to add a sort of postscript. In The .Hiding Place
. the postscript has Corrie speak as she is today. It is simply
too long, and the ending loses its impact. As a non-Christian,
I was walking out after fifteen seconds of "Corrie today."
But I could not leave the movie, or the movie would
not leave me. There is something too alive, too pragmatic
about Corrie's faith which will not be shaken off
with the popcorn crumbs. Long after the credits fade, the

What are Bethel's Physical Education requirements?
In order to graduate from Bethel, students are required
to take (or test out of) eight components of physical education.
This amounts to four semester-long courses· (credits), or eight
half-semester courses (components).
Dr. Gene Glader, P.E. department head, pointed out that
previous to the development of the new curriculum (1971), students
were required to take four semesters of P .E. Presently,
the program has been broken down into components to
allow students to take P .E. by course or an equivalent rather
than by credit.
Glader thinks Bethel's new proficiency waiver is a progressive
concept in education. "I view it as an evolving kind
of thing right here in our own department. It's an excellent
way to handle P .E."
The biggest problem, according to Glader, is a lack of
communication. Many students do not take advantage of the
waiver because they don't understand it.
The Basic Skills Program handbook, published by the
P.E. department, defines four ways to earn proficiency
1. College participation certificate or varsity letter in
intercollegiate athletics. (two components)
2. Demonstrating reasonable proficiency through a written
and a skills test. (This is limited to individual and dual
life-time sports and aquatic activities, and physical fitness.
3. Certification by a national or international sports
organization. (two components)
4. Proposing and completing an independent sports study
approved by the P.E. department.
By taking advantage of the waiver and independent
study program, students could complete their P.E. requirements
more efficiently. Tricia Brownlee, director of women's
atheltics, said, "Too many people think that all we're
trying to do is have kids take P .E. courses at Bethel. "
This is not true. We're concerned that people have a good
enough background that when they leave Bethel, they can
continue some sports for a lifetime. If they don't even take
one course from us, we don't care."
The stated purpose of the basic skills program in the
physical education department is "to promote physical fi~ess
and to enable each student to develop skills that may be
used and enjoyed currently and throughout one's lifetime."
What do students think of Bethel's P .E. requirement? '
Rick Bloom: "Personally, I prefer the classes where you
don't have to sweat. The idea of physical fitness is good,
but for most people it's a hassle to take all eight components."
Judy Helman: "Kids should change their attitude. They
should realize they need exercise. Instead, they just sit
around and complain about getting fat." .
Gene Blair: "I don't think the requirement should be
eliminated. God gave us a body and we should take care of
it. As Christians, we are responsible to "take care of our
bodies physically, as well as mentally and spiritually."
Phyllis Buttner: "They're good in that they keep you'
in shape and you meet new people, but they are a strain
on me because my schedule is so full."
Cyrus Broughton: "There shouldn't be a P.E. requirement
at a college level. We finished with that in high
So far, most students agree that P.E. is valid, but they
would like the requirements to be less time-consuming.
(The results of a school-wide poll will be published "in next
week's issue).

Dear Paul,
As you probably know, 200 years ago last Friday night
you noticed the lanterns in the Old North Church belfry,
jumped on your horse, and warned Boston fuat "the British
were coming." Did you get a chance to see the way
we celebrated, Paul? I know you would have liked it because
you would have felt right at home.
Oh, it was a nice way to start our bicentennial birthday
party. The President came and talked about all the good
-things about the Revolution (he thanked you and your friends
for helping to create "the eternal truths" which America
stands on). But that wasn't even the best part!
All around Lexington and Concord last Saturday there
were men dressed up as Redcoats, and others dressed up
in the clothes that you and your patriot friends used t.o wear.
They had the same kinds of rifles and cannons and everything.
Then, at just the right time, they would shoot at
each other (with blanks, of course) and pretend to kill
each other. It was so much fun, Paul! The cannons were
fired, the soldiers marched, costumed women knelt down over
their "bleeding" husbands. It was just like the real thing,
and the people truly enjoyed it. Of course there was no real
blood or anything - people just wanted to have fun.
Well, there was one part that did get a little bit too
much like 1776. A group of protestors gathered across the
river on Friday night to say th~t big businesses in America
are mistreating the common people of this country. They
heard speakers, listened to Pete. Seeger sing folk songs, and
for the most part stayed pretty calm. But when the President
started speaking on- Saturday morning, they began
to yell and shout. Some even crossed the river and had to be
clubbed by the police and arrested. These protestors made the
people mad, because they were interrupting ~he "pretend"
I'm sorry you weren't with us to help celebrate last
weekend. But there is plenty of time left. We have over
a year to celebrate battles, see marching soldiers, and
enjoy their pretend fights. I do hope those protestors don't
interrupt us again though. After all, Paul, you know what
kind of a nuisance they can be.
Happy Bicentennial!

Bethel golf squad opens seas1o,n
wi'th four veterans, fi've fr~$hm~~n .
The largest group of Bethel golfers
in recent years opened its season yesterday
against Concordia-St. Paul and Augsburg
at Keller golf course, near Lake
Coach John Merritt, a 1974 Bethel graduate,
said he was encouraged by four
returning lettermen and five promising
freshmen. The veterans include Ted
Johnson, captain, Pete Anderson, Bill
Peterson, and Tom Stellar.
The freshmen, all with good high school
golfing backgrounds, are Dan Visell, Darrell
Peterson, Robert Gould, John Hougen,
Tim Van Gorkum, and Alan Steier.
These new recruits, Merritt said, are
providing the squad with some good competition.
Bethel will be among 20 schools at
the Southwest Invitational Tournament
tomorrow at Marshall, Minnesota.
The team's next meet will be at
Como Park golf course at 1 :30 on Tuesday,
with Macalester and Hamline. The
Tri-State Conference Championship is at
Keller, May 12.
Sue Heiber and Terry Schimbeno, two
Bethel women, will be golfing in the
University of Minnesota's women's open
invitational May 2. The competition was
arranged by the University's intramural
director, Roy Tutt, who is also the Royals'
assistant coach this year.
T racksters run at Mac tomorrow
The Bethel-Macalester Relays, beginning
at noon tomorrow at Macalester,
will pit the Royals against such teams
as Concordia-Moorhead and Macalester.
(Bethel slipped past Macalester April
12, in a meet dominated by Hamline
University) .
This annual meet will give the nervous
squad its chance to compete after a
two-week lull. Last Saturday's meet at
Ramsey High School was cancelled due
to weather conditions, and in order to
keep their adrenalin flowing, the Royals
held an inters quad meet Monday. Significantly,
five team members took that
opportunity to run 880 yards in under
After Saturday, one more meet intervenes
before the Tri-State Conference
outdoor competition, in St. Paul, May
10. The Royals will face Macalester,
University of Minnesota-Duluth, Moorhead,
and Golden Valley at Macalester,
May 3.

Marshall Shelley
This is a second well-intentioned interview with Marshall
Shelley. Our first attempt fell victim to sharp tempers and
biting tongues. Hopefully, this venture will prove to be
more productive.
Marshall Shelley is a senior from Denver, Colorado,
majoring in journalism. He has been active in sports at Bethel
for four years, and is presently the captain of the baseball
Healy: Let me formally apologize to you for my part
in our altercation, Marshall.
Shelley: It was just as much my fault, Paul. Let's forget
it ever happened.
Healy: Let's get down to business. How have your four
years at Bethel prepared you for life in the real world?
Shelley: Bethel is the real world, Paul. I have learned
that there are no simple answers to the complexities that
face modern mankind. Liberal Arts has enabled me to
communicate effectively, make decisions based on firm values,
and sort out truth from the jumbled concoction of
prevarications that bombard us from all sides.
Healy: How have athletics, specifically, helped you to
attain these virtues?
Shelley: I've learned that athletics is life. You learn
to bounce up from temporary setbacks. You're not a loser
if you are knocked down; only if you stay down. When the
going gets tough the tough get going. Quitters never win and
winners never quit. Athletics definitely builds character, Paul.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
Someone who is not willing to sacrifice four years of their
life for college football, will be unwilling to make the
ultimate sacrifice - giving his life for his country.
Healy: It seems that even going to Fellowship of Christian
Athletes once had its effect on you.
Shelley: Healy! Is nothing sacred? It's obvious that your
cynicism now pervades your every thought. Your allegiance
is neither with sports nor your country. What do you hold
Healy: ZZzzzzzzzz .....
Sbelley: All right, I've been patient with you till now,
but you've gone too far. Let's face it Healy, you were
laughable this year in basketball. Your refusal to lose weight
is indicative of your shoddy attitude towards anything of
significance in life. Worse yet, your discrimination in country
music has degenerated to the point that' it wouldn't surprise
me to see you at the Eddy Arnold rack at musicland.
Healy: O.K. Shelley, let's turn the journalistic tables.

Bethel nine to play
at home tomorrow
by Bruce Olsen
When a team loses, no one seems too talkative in the
aftermath. So was the disposition of the Bethel baseball
players after last weekend's twin losses at the hands of the
Yankton College Greyhounds.
The Royals entered the first conference game of the
season hopeful for some good weather after all the endless
days of indoor practice. The good weather was there, but
the hope for a win soon diminished, as Bethel lost to the
first game 4-1 behind their ace pitcher, Don Paterson.
Plagued by errors and a lack of hitting, the Royals just
could not find the grip on victory.
The second game brought more of the 9me, but in
bigger numbers as the Royals lost 8-3. Curt Oslin, Marv
Zaderaka, and Dave Peterson combined the pitching chores
for Bethel, but none of them found the effectiveness that
was needed for a Bethel win.
The team was expected to play yesterday against Hamline,
barring bad weather. Their first home game will be
tomorrow against Westmar College at 1 p.m.

Oh, by the way, there was also a high ollie contest as well, but it doesn't seem like as many people were interested in that event or the pond skim as they were the Miss Mountain High event.

DALLAS – An individual or individuals claiming to be "Exchange Inc." have been placing advertisements in auto magazines and commercial newspapers, leading Army & Air Force Exchange Service shoppers to believe they're purchasing a vehicle through the Department of Defense (DoD) retailer.
"This has been a problem for the past few months where someone is using the Exchange's trademarked logo and name without permission to purportedly sell vehicles in the United States," said Rick Koloski, the Exchange's loss prevention vice president. "Unfortunately, some have sent money only to receive nothing in return."
Despite the fact that military exchanges do not have the authority to sell vehicles in the continental United States, the individuals responsible for these advertisements have left consumers with the impression they are doing business with the DoD's oldest and largest exchange service.
"This type of fraud has proliferated with the use of the internet and continues to be a challenge because oftentimes the perpetrator cannot be identified as the methods they utilize are not traceable back to any individual," said Koloski. "In fact, in a most recent case, money grams sent by one couple were picked up in Bangladesh, indicating this crime goes well beyond US borders."
Shoppers who believe that they may have been taken advantage of can file a complaint through the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.
Exchange facilities are located solely on military installations. While the Exchange does have mail order and Internet offerings, the Exchange does not advertise in civilian outlets such as metropolitan newspapers or automobile sales magazines. All advertisements for legitimate Exchange offerings are published in outlets whose audiences are mostly comprised of military members.

A viral video that features a 10-month-old girl's emotional reaction to her mother's singing could arguably redefine what it means to be a cry baby.
Mary Lynne Leroux eyes welled up with tears while mom Amanda sang to her a heartfelt rendition of Rod Stewart's "My Heart Can't Tell You No." Mary did not wail or fuss the way babies do. Instead, she listened quietly and appeared to be overcome with emotion when she squeezed her eyes and let the tears run down her cheeks.
The video was posted on Oct. 19 and has amassed over a million views.

Do you wish Snow next to you until the end of the Series?
In the future please indicate if the spoiler is for the commic and not the game.
I have red the comics a bit and i have not red anything about this connection.
minor comic spoilers ahead (just facts really) But i have red that, bigby smokes and drinks to keep his senses dampened and that the fabels are harder to kill the more know/popular they are with us/the mudies.

I do. I think she's great.
i would have loved for snow to be in the rest of it, i really started liking her character and i saw alot of potential for Bigby and Snow, i think that that could have been something amazing. I really am look forward to what is next in this story, i would love more twists and turns. im sure this will be full of them.
I think this is classic Telltale, i knew she was going to die because for some reason these guys are allergic to any sort of romance. In the Walking Dead they hinted at possible relationships but nothing ever comes to fruition. Either they simply CANT write good chemistry between romantically involved characters or they simply hate having any sort of happy ending. I wish Snow White hadn't died, so far they had a great pace and look about them for a romantic connection, the best of any telltale game imo.
They're not bringing her back, they removed Bigby's only 'human' drive, now all he has is revenge/justice (not sure which yet) and his insatiable animal instincts. Stupid move imo =/ makes it easy to predict..
well it isn't that telltale cant write a good romance, but you should remember that TWD and TWAU are both based of a comic book series, they are not writing from scratch they have the plot and baseline, they can change some but more likely they wont because if you read the comics (like i have started to) then you would see how amazing they are and would just be happy that telltale have taken them on, because these are 2 amazing games that i have loved playing, i mean i have logged 45.6 hours on the wolf among us and 168.2 hours the walking dead, i cant get enough of them, they are truly superb.Magik_Muffin118 posted: »

Can the OP please please edit the thread title, the grammar is killing me.
I'm not sure if we will see Snow again, but I honestly would love if Telltale pulled off a resurrection, and brought her back. I personally think she was a pretty good character, and partner. But like I said I'm not sure if we will see her again.
I think we will see her. Only not in Season 2,cuz as We've seen in the little trailer for Season 2 There is Bigby turned into a wolf form at the end. That basically means that Snow isn't alive yet,because she is the one that tells him to back down, to be nice and stuff...He is afther his revenge so thats why he's turned I think. So my guess is that she Will come back , but not in Season 2. Personally I'd love her back.
Maybe we'll be able to wish either Faith or Snow back to life. Through some sort of magic I would guess, but you could only pick one
I guess that'd a hard choice for some.raisin_bread posted: »

Though i really liked how she was built up to be Bigby's Companion. She's the Watson to Bigby's Sherlock. Then shit hit the fan.
I do believe Snow isn't dead, as the game is established as a prequel to the comics, and Snow is alive in the comics. Whether or not she was reborn (due to her popularity) or not, is up to Telltale.
do you guys think the boy who cried wolf might be in on this i know he has not been introduce but i feel we cant rule him out and the orange hair guy i think he might be the ginger bread man ? these are just thought not factDarth Marsden posted: »
Nope - her beheading is part of the story and can't be changed. And yes, I too wish we'd gotten to spend more time with Snow. I w… more
I 100% agree with what you said. As soon as I saw Snow's head lying on the ground I want to tear apart everyone. The cops, the acting mayor, the white creature that you fight at the bar, the woodsman, EVERYTHING! Faith was also emotional but I almost expected her to die since this game was set up as a murder mystery, and she was the only character that you actually meet that has a strong chance of dieing. I played through the first episode trying to be nice to everyone except the mayor (fucking cunt) but with Snow being dead (for the time being) I don't how the rest of my game will play out.
*have not read the comics and not 100% sure on every characters names, sorry
Agreed, she was too good to be true. Her going down hits hard. I think it invokes "that side of you" where you don't want to think r… more
I agree it would be nice to see more but you also need to remember that to change the game the diversely and and handle all the possibilities would be very straining on the writers and animators.Parrhesia posted: » [view original content]
Although it was such a big surprise to me, I can't believe Snow is dead. If this game is set before the first events in the comics, as telltale said, then I think she could be possibly still alive or revived in some manner. Also, Snow is a very possible fable, so if that "popularity equals power" (which means the more popular you are with the mundies, the harder you are to kill) comes into play surely Snow wasn't that easily to kill. But that theory hasn't been proven but it's likely to be true. For example: When Snow gets shot in the head by Goldilocks with a sniper rifle and still recovered after a very lengthy time in the hospital. In conclusion, I really want to see how this prequel play out and maybe there will be more seasons to involve the Adversary and Snow and Bigby get together.
I think her, and the wolf make a great pair. You can tell there's that romantic tension between them, where things get awkward because they both really like each other. I'd like to see more of that.
The first thing that went to my brain during the cab scene is literally "wow so much sexual tension in one place, i think it's going to explode!"

It wasn't that much. You could tell there was some awkward tension. I wouldn't say sexual. The way she shifted her eyes and sat beside him, it wasn't exploding. It was obvious that they liked each other.SuperTechmarine posted: »

Hell, it was obvious the second we see Snow kneeling over Bigby in the alley after the Tweddle chase.
It wasn't that much. You could tell there was some awkward tension. I wouldn't say sexual. The way she shifted her eyes and sat beside him, it wasn't exploding. It was obvious that they liked each other.
My biggest thought is where are they going to go from here? They started off big - so where do they start from there?
Snow can't be dead. At least not if the comics and the so called "prequel" game are linked
She can actually. If powerful fables die in the Fables universe, they come back to life as different versions of themselves. And the Snow in the game is quite different to the Snow in the comicscarlysglock posted: »

I don't read the comics but the most interesting (and annoying) thing about this decapitation problem is what the magic is capable of doing.
On the one hand, you have a mirror that can remotely view others, and still be affected by other magic to essentially disable viewing specific people, so the possibilities are endless, hence my annoyance. On the other hand, you have this literary device that gives full license to pull anything out of your ass in order to explain a plot point without really having to adhere to real world rules, which makes being able to solve an investigation more a matter of patience than thoughtful effort.
Lastly, the main thing I liked about Snow (apart from being a strong character) was how she acted as a barometer for the investigation so you could see whether or not you're doing your job properly whenever she reacted with agreement or trust. At least that was a way of establishing how well you're doing. Though I still find the slightly feminist double standard interesting to see whereby if there are no strong female leads, complaints are made (i.e. lack of sex equality representation), but if there are some and something happens to them, even if it's to be expected, even more complaints are made (i.e. violence against women).
No. Just No. Snow is so naive and ignorant, meh. We've seen this type of heroes like billions of times. Better Faith. She's more interesting and more intriguing character than Snow. I hope she's not dead.
i want who already dead remains dead
I was really upset when saw Snow White head... She was (is, i hope) great character and game is prequel for comics, and in comics she is alive and well. Did you read steam achievement "no respect for dead"? Maybe it means something? (sorry my english:P)
I'm hoping you're right. Sounds stupid, but maybe its all an illusion to get Bigby to be his old self, bad and angry at the world.
Someone really doesn't like him I'm beating and that is why is happening maybe?
But if it turns out they just need to find Snow's body and place her head back on and its all good, it will be strange, but a relief after I actually did digging into the comics for this game.
Watching Pewdiepie play and Cry as well, I didn't really feel that attached to Snow, but once I finally decided not to wait for all the eps and played it I read the Fable updates they give you and I liked her so much more then Faith.
So here is hoping something happens and Snow isn't really dead.
Just a thought but maybe the person doing this isn't really killing these people. Maybe the person doing this is just kidnapping them and storing them in a secret location. Why someone would want to do this, I don't know. It is possible maybe he is doing it so Wolf will keep searching for clues until this secret person has him right where that person wants him and then attacks him or frames him for the murders maybe. It could just be someone who wants to see him down, someone who doesn't think Wolf deserves to be in such a high rank after what he has done. Everybody does hate Wolf according to the pig, Colin.
To answer your question, yes. I wish Snow White was my sidekick. She was an awesome character that I really grew to like and I was planning on having my Wolf character flirt with her and maybe even try to date her in the game if the opportunity ever showed up but I guess that might not be a possibility, poor Wolf. The frog said he noticed how Wolf looked at Snow near the beginning (I believe that is right, if I am wrong let me know) so I was about to try to get him in a relationship with her if he liked her like the frog said he did. I don't like how Telltale did this but I have a lot of respect for the writer who did this. The writers have some serious balls because they had to know people would not like this decision.

text: When you give a group of makers a vague instruction to deconstruct an idea and build something out of it in 48 hours, you get some outlandish results. It's exactly what the team behind The Deconstruction wanted for its two-day, global hacker competition that took place this past weekend. The projects from over 50 participating teams varied from full-length musical albums and an iPhone-powered disco ball to a Rube Goldberg machine that demonstrates the process of photosynthesis. On the whole, these projects are here to remind us that makers aren't always 3-D printing fanatics or hardware hackers — they can include anyone, whether a musician, designer, engineer, or child. The official winners of the event will be announced later this week. Meanwhile, here are six of our favorites. Self-Destructing Musical Chair A team of current and former design students in Lausanne, Switzerland's University of Art and Design deconstructed the game of musical chairs. To team Les Sugus, the game was finite, so they wanted to create a chair that, too, was finite. The group designed a seat that would only survive nine sittings — one for each member of the team — until it automatically destructs. To do this, Les Sugus constructed a chair with cast wax joints. They then attached an Arduino board to the chair, along with a contact switch to detect that a person is sitting in it. A solenoid hits the chair and signals the number of seatings left, and a relay box finally switches on the self-destruct heating system to melt the wax away. Slowly, but inevitably, the chair is destroyed, hilariously sending the final sitter to the floor. Image: Les SugusPhotosynthesis as Rube Goldberg Machine The Carrots of Patagonia, a team based in Lyon, France, spent its 48 hours deconstructing the biological process of photosynthesis into a working Rube Goldberg machine. Each step of the team's machine represented a step in photosynthesis. The Rube Goldberg machine starts off with a light bulb swinging to hit Lego dominoes, representing a light photon hitting a plant's thylakoid membrane, and beginning the process of photosynthesis. In the end, the machine "produces" sugar, which is represented by sugar being flung off a spoon. The machine was nothing fancy compared to other Rube Goldberg machines — they built it from basic parts like cardboard, Lego pieces, rubber bands, marbles, and string. That said, the five-person team was able to create a machine-model of photosynthesis for less than 35 euros (around $45). Image: The Carrots of PatagoniaMusic Album of Deconstructed Genres The Deconstruction didn't just limit its teams to makers of physical objects and machines. Bozo Nightmare, an eight-member team based in Los Angeles, spent its 48-hours to deconstructing different genres of music and ended up with a full album. Dennis Michael, a graduate student at Caltech, solicited help from various contributors from across the world. "In keeping with the theme of deconstruction and taking things out of context, one of the things we did here was I had somebody put headphones on and listen to a song and play a guitar solo over the song, and we only recorded the solo and not the rest of the song," he explains. The result was an album of improvised and mashed up music and sounds, reconstructed from already popular songs like Sweet Home Alabama and non-music samples like a reading of The New York Times. Image: Bozo NightmareZombie Survival Tools Of all the teams taking part in the event, Rabbit Hole was one of the most traditionally maker-focused. The Rochester, MN team was made up of nine current IBM and Mayo Clinic engineers and "tinkerers." The team focused on several projects that would be useful in a Zombie Apocalypse — essentially, survival tools. This included a foraging bike trailer, a solar-powered lantern and an automatic can/brain crusher. Of the three, the can crusher seemed the most challenging. Beyond the tires and wood, the machine required a garage door opener (along with sensors and wired), an Arduino Uno, an electric dartboard, and several transistors, resistors and LEDs. They even added a dancing robot to the can crusher, although they found that it "required too much power to be powered straight from the Arduino," and limited the dancing to every 12 cans crushed. The team also jokingly added, "Glue, zip-ties, solder, blood, sweat and duct tape," to its list of components. Image: Rabbit HoleNeighborhood Seed, Haiku and Story Bombs With six adults and five children (ages 3 to 6), team Hello City deconstructed a suburban neighborhood in Melbourne, Australia by creating three projects that "bombed" the neighborhood — with good things, of course. The first device was a mobile seed-bombing catapult. The catapult was constructed onto a cargo bike, loaded with plenty of seed-bomb ammo. Deconstructing the neighborhood didn't only require building a new type of machine. The Hello City team also used their 48 hours of maker time to bomb their suburb with haikus and short stories. The haiku bombing was "partly inspired by the graffiti tag – eternity – which first appeared written in chalk on the footpaths of Melbourne in the 1930s and later in Sydney." Instead of tagging eternity, the team tagged various haikus on streets, footpaths, walls and more. Finally, short stories were pasted onto telephone poles throughout the area. http://www.youtube.com/embed/JNqAfF3ZCX8 Image: Hello CityiPhone Disco Ball San Francisco-based team Ouroboros spent its time deconstructing the disco. The team, headed by Schlomo Rabinowitz, created both an app and a giant disco ball called the "Ouroboros Discoball". The disco ball itself was made out of a foam-filled exercise ball. But it required smartphones (iPhones, specifically) and the Ouroboros app to actually get a disco ball effect. After completing the project, Ouroboros threw a pizza party in San Francisco's Mission district, and invited their friends to partake in the disco. Each person downloaded the app on their phones, and attached all of the phones onto the disco ball. The app's moving green bubbles and flashy bright lights gave the ball a digital disco look.

Wabash Seniors Want NCAC Titleby Howard W. Hewitt • February 25, 2010 Share:
Sportswriters embrace tired clichés' such as 'it's tough to beat the same team three times in one season.' Wabash Coach Mac Petty is having none of that as his team prepares to face Wittenberg in the semifinals of the NCAC basketball tournament Friday at Wooster.
Wabash, winners of 15 of its last 17 games, will face a Tiger team they've beaten twice this season. The Little Giants had never won at Wittenberg before.
"If Wittenberg would happen to beat us it would not come down to the fact we beat them twice," Petty said. "It would be because they played better than we did. They made more baskets and we didn't."
The veteran coach also said the three-game chess match occurs more often now because of round robin conference play. "I would think that if you really statistically looked at it the teams that won twice probably win more than they lose (the third time.)"
Tuesday's 73-54 win over Denison pairs the Little Giants against their long time basketball and football rivals Wittenberg. Tipoff will be at 6 p.m. Friday. The Tigers beat Hiram, 85-62, to advance. The other side of the bracket will pair NCAC champ Wooster against Ohio Wesleyan. Saturday night's winner moves to the Div. III NCAA playoffs.
"We beat them here and beat them on their court, this will be a neutral court so I think we can handle it," said senior guard Chase Haltom. "We've got a bunch of veterans on the team. We have some guys who are used to this and have done it in the past. We're just looking to get over that NCAC hump and go to the next level."
The season sweep started January 20 at Chadwick Court when the Little Giants controlled rebounding for a 64-57 win. Wes Smith's 15 and Aaron Brock's 13 points led Wabash. The return match Feb. 17 gave Wabash its first-ever win in Springfield, 72-69, powered by four Little Giants in double figures.
Wabash out-rebounded Witt in both contests. Energy on the boards could be the difference maker the third time.
"We have to come out with energy on Friday night, that's the biggest thing," senior forward Aaron Brock said. "We fall behind in games because we come out not real energetic or not real focused. We always make a run in second half like we did at Wittenberg; we always make that run but sometimes it's not enough. We've got to get a lead and make sure we don't have to wait until the last 10 minutes to win the game."
Petty said the keys to beating Witt the third time is focusing that energy into defense. "What we've been doing recently is playing good defense and taking care of the basketball," the coach said. "Our goal was not to have more than 12 turnovers a game and recently we've been pretty good at that. The game at Witt, we had 16 turnovers but we only had 5 in the second half.
"Plus, we've been defending people. We've held nearly everyone we've played lately below their season average. We're leading the conference in defense. What I've really liked lately is we're scoring better and our field goal percentage has improved."
Guard Chase Haltom talks (below) about the keys to winning this weekend and the impact an NCAC title would have on he and senior teammates.

The New York Jets went defensive end, wideout and outside linebacker with their first three picks of the 2012 NFL Draft, but right tackle Wayne Hunter is in danger of losing his starting spot despite no rookie competition.
Jets general manager Mike Tannenabaum said Friday night, via the New York Daily News, that Hunter "is competing for a position."
Winners, losers from Day 2
"There are a number of young players on our offensive line that weâre excited to see," Tannenbaum added. "Having Wayne Hunter back for another year ... heâll still be competing for a position here. We have three young guys we like in Caleb (Schlauderaff), Austin (Howard) and Vlad (Ducasse), so weâll see how that goes."
Hunter reportedly has been on thin ice throughout the offseason. The Daily News reported in March that the Jets had floated Hunter on the trade market and actually was in trade discussions with at least one NFC team.
Hunter remains with the Jets but it remains to been seen what role he'll play.
"Wayne's our right tackle now and thatâs going to be something we continue to look at," Tannenbaum said. "The offensive line is something weâll continue to monitor over here over the next few weeks. As we will at all positions, when we get through the draft, weâll evaluate the depth chart."
The Jets currently hold three picks in the sixth round and two in the seventh. The fourth round of the NFL Draft will begin Saturday at noon ET.

Eva, while reading Lesson 12 I began sobbing. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for your love of the written word and how you use it to connect, teach and inspire.
Eva, your assignments are wonderful instruments for helping us down the path of becoming better writers, better people. Keep it up. Thanks!
Eva, your class has been a turning point for me. Thank you for your lessons and encouragement. I've gone from saying "I want to be a writer" to "I AM a writer." I hope to take another of your classes sometime soon, possibly magazine writing. Thanks again!
I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and will implement many of the lessons learned to further my writing. It has been a pleasure to meet and interact with so many talented, creative writers and I just want to extend my thanks to Eva for her positive encouragement. I will miss you all.
I never let anyone read my writing before because of a negative experience in college. An instructor told me flat out "you just cannot write" and it haunted me for a long time. Fast forward a million years...the last six weeks has opened a new world for me. The positive feedback from all of you unlocked a door that should have never been closed. For this I am grateful.
I took this course to tighten up on my writing with better use of language, research and editing. Eva was excellent from the first assignment and I was able to learn some important techniques for my craft. I wish I could bottle her. Thanks so much, Eva. I feel that I have grown so much.
I submitted my work from this course to a local contest and I won! I'm pretty proud of myself, but moreover I want to thank Eva for not only her support, but everything down to offering this class, caring about it, encouraging us, providing us such fantastic stepping stones, and being, in general, awesome.
Two days ago I was offered to write a monthly column for our newspapers family page. I am thrilled to be able to write on a consistent basis for a publication. And I owe some of this to you, Eva. If you hadn't made the comment that a previous assignment from the descriptive settings course would make a good newspaper article, I would never have submitted it for publication. Thanks!
Over the last five months, I have taken four of the six courses taught by Eva. I just began "Write Your Own Story" this week and I plan to sign up for Writeriffic II next month. Before taking these courses, I had a story rolling around my head for years, actually several stories. I never believed I was capable of actually writing these stories and the thought of pursuing a published piece was unthinkable. Eva's classes have challenged me to face the fears, and begin to create on paper something I have only dreamed of doing. I have discovered more about myself in these last five months than I have in six years of education to become a therapist. Which class to take first? Whichever one jumps out at you first. Each class has invaluable information, challenging assignments, tips, inspiration, and a clear path to guide writers to their goals.
If I have grown it is because of you and your course. This is the most amazing, touching and practical (all at the same time) course I have ever had in writing -- maybe that I have ever had. Have to admit I've not taken many courses in creative writing, nonetheless, this course and your approach, have truly changed my thinking about whether or not I could publish what I write. I thank you, Eva, and I will be a familiar name in your other courses.

The film was more than enough for Heron O'Neal.
It was on tape, watching Jesse Lewis shine as a running back at CSU Pueblo, the Colorado Ice head coach realized contact needed to be made.
And Lewis, a Loveland graduate a few months removed from playing in the Austrian Football League, was intrigued about another chance to play football in Northern Colorado.
This week, the Ice signed Lewis to a contract in advance of camp beginning on Feb. 5.
"I think it will be cool," Lewis said. "It's always fun, small town or big town, to have people in your corner from the get-go. A big thing for me is my family will be able to come watch games."
Loveland should definitely remember Lewis, a standout running back for the Indians who was a two-time All-Area performer and the offensive player of the year in 2006. After that, he helped resurrect the football program at CSU Pueblo, rushing for 3,541 yards and 16 touchdowns in four seasons. Twice he was a Harlon Hill candidate, the Division II equivalent of the Heisman Trophy.
He's never been the biggest guy on the field (5-foot-7, 185 pounds), but that never slowed Lewis down, a trait O'Neal saw on tape.
"Once I got a hold of his film, of what he did at CSU Pueblo, it was a no-brainer to get him on board," O'Neal said. "We reached out to him to see if he was interested first. It was a pretty easy marriage to make once we got a hold of him."
The Ice had first talked to Lewis the year before, but by then, he had already committed to playing for the Raiffeisen Vikings in Vienna, Austria. Just like everywhere else he had suited up, Lewis made a difference.
He led that team to the Austrian Football League championship, and the Vikings went on to win the EuroBowl, a champion's league playoff.
Lewis was named the offensive MVP of that game, rushing for 164 yards and a touchdown, capping off a record-setting season where he rushed for 1,721 yards and 23 touchdowns as the Vikings went 15-0.
"It was definitely a good experience for me," Lewis said. "It was honestly the coolest thing I've ever experienced in my entire life. There were a lot of things that I had to get used to that were different. I had never been to Europe, so I was there for six months. It was cool. I got to see a lot of different places, meet a lot of different people, see a lot of different cultures."
He thought about returning, but league rules further limited the number of American football players on teams. By the time teams from Germany and Poland had called, he had already made a commitment to the Ice.
He's actually seen the team play at the Budweiser Events Center, going to games with his parents. Now, they get the chance to return and watch Lewis on the field.
O'Neal, on the other hand, is fascinated by what Lewis can possibly bring to the Ice offense.
"Explosive ability. He's able to read blocks. His vision is impeccable," O'Neal said. "The way he runs, he runs physical for a guy of his stature. He'll drop his helmet and fight for yards, but it was his explosiveness and ability to make big plays. His play-making ability is well needed in our run game."

OMG. Boom. Yo?
In moments of great excitement, people tend to communicate in shorter bursts that occur more frequently.
It makes sense, and has been backed up by research; a study done by MIT found that the most exciting moments of a sporting event elicited tweets that dropped to a length of 60 characters on average from 90 characters.
"Our emotional bursts become faster and more impulsive online, letting us unveil how we sense events offline - with striking mathematical regularity," reads a post on the Senseable City Lab at MIT.
Is this phenomenon to credit (or blame) for the popularity of the Yo messaging app?
The Yo app lets users say "yo" to their friends with a single tap. And nothing else. The app bills itself as "the simplest and most efficient communication tool in the world." Oh, and it has raised $1 million in funding, according to the Financial Times. It's met with plenty of skepticism among a crowd that at least wants another 138 characters to play with.
But that thinking reflects a pro-U.S. bias, notes tech entrepreneur Marc Andreessen.
On Thursday afternoon, a Twitter account belonging to Yo said it now has more than 200,000 users. It had just 60,000 users on Wednesday, according to Business Insider. It was ranked 24th on Apple's App Store among free apps, beating apps such as Twitter and Skype for iPhone. By Friday morning, it had leaped to No. 5, surpassing Snapchat.
Those are a lot of records for an app based on a two-letter greeting.

Brussels, 6 June 2011
Commission steps up efforts to forge a comprehensive anti-corruption policy at EU level
Why is the Commission proposing to boost anti-corruption policy at EU level?
With the adoption of the Stockholm Programme, Member States agreed to give the Commission a political mandate to measure efforts in the fight against corruption and to develop a comprehensive anti-corruption policy, in close cooperation with the Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption (GRECO).
The Union has a general right to act in the field of anti-corruption policies within the limits established by the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). In particular, the EU should ensure a high level of security, including through prevention and combating of crime and approximation of criminal laws. Corruption is one of the particularly serious crimes that has a cross-border dimension. It is often linked to other form of serious crime, such as trafficking in drugs and human beings, and cannot be adequately addressed by Member States alone.
What is the existing anti-corruption framework?
A number of anti-corruption legal instruments are already in place at EU, European and international level, but implementation within EU Member States remains overall insufficient.
How can a Report generate progress in the fight against corruption?
Monitoring performances in the fight against corruption through a form of reporting can help create the necessary momentum for firmer political commitment from all decision-makers in the EU. A number of periodic evaluation and assessment processes have been implemented in several EU policy areas, where they have brought tangible benefits for tackling key issues and addressing challenges faced by the EU and its Member States. In the past, we have also seen that monitoring by civil society organisations has played an important role in addressing problems of corruption.
An EU own mechanism will allow for the periodic assessment of anti-corruption efforts in the Member States with a view to nurturing the political will for stepping up anti-corruption efforts and reinforcing mutual trust among the Member States. It will also facilitate the exchange of best practices, identify EU trends, gather comparable data on the EU 27 and stimulate peer learning and further compliance with EU and international commitments. Moreover, an EU reporting mechanism will prepare the ground for future EU policy initiatives in the area of anti-corruption.
How does the EU mechanism fit with the existing monitoring tools at international and European level?
The EU Report will avoid overlapping with other tools already in place at international level, such as the Council of Europe Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), the OECD Working Group on Bribery and the review mechanism of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). These monitoring mechanisms have proven their use in bringing corruption related problems on to the political agenda and have led to improvements in the legal framework. However, each of them has several features limiting their potential to effectively address the problems associated with corruption at EU level.
Our EU Report is aims to create synergies with existing mechanisms, on the one hand, and to focus on the 'blind spots' of these mechanisms, on the other hand.
How will the EU Report be drawn up?
The monitoring exercise set up by the Commission will avoid duplication of work and will not impose additional burdens on Member States' administrations.
The EU Anti-Corruption Report will be managed by the Commission. The Commission will use available data and recommendations from existing mechanisms, but enrich them with civil society input, independent experts and researchers' analysis. Other sources of information from the Commission's services covering connected policy areas and various perception indicators will also be used to carry out the assessment.
The Report will each time focus on a limited number of issues and comprise:
Why is the Commission also proposing that the EU participate in GRECO?
A combination of tools can achieve greater results. That is why the Commission is also proposing that the EU participate in GRECO, to stimulate political will among Member States and ensure a coherent approach to the fight against corruption in Europe. All EU Member States are already participating in GRECO, the existing anti-corruption monitoring instrument of the Council of Europe, but a reinforced cooperation between the EU and GRECO would create synergies with the newly established EU anti-corruption reporting mechanism.
GRECO's evaluations are confidential but its expertise would be a pivotal source of information for the Commission's Anti-Corruption Report. GRECO could, in particular, provide input to the EU monitoring mechanism in the form of comparative analyses of the existing GRECO evaluation and compliance reports on the EU Member States, and an indication of key outstanding recommendations requiring additional follow-up.
EU participation in GRECO was already outlined as a key element of EU anti-corruption policy in the Communication of 28 May 2003 and practical modalities were since explored. The Council will now consider the options identified in the Commission's report. On that basis, the Commission will request that the Council authorise the opening of negotiations for the EU's participation GRECO.
What else needs to be done?
Apart from a stronger monitoring and a proper implementation of existing legal instruments against corruption, the Commission foresees a wide range of actions at EU level. There must be a greater emphasis on fighting corruption in all relevant EU policies, both internal and external. For instance:
