Check Arrives
To Aid Germans
Two hundred eighty seven doll-ars
sent by Missionary Band to
Germany to be used for the relief
of Hamburg Seminary students has
been received and will be applied
to that end, according to a letter
written recently by Mr. Kenneth
Mr. Norquist expressed his ap-preciation
for the gift of money
and indicated the route he is to
travel during a tour through Ger-many
in the near future. Hamburg,
Brenen, Hannover and Westphalia
are some of the cities he will be
visiting. A rally of evangelistic
minded German young people is
planned for March.
The German cities mentioned
and others in that territory will be
re-visited by Mr. Norquist when
Bethel's clothing shipment arrives
and garments will be distributed
by Mr. Norquist at that time.
Two weeks, ago a check for
$1,000 was presented by Maynard
Johnson on behalf of Missionary
Band members to acting foreign
mission secretary Rev. Sten Lind-berg
to be used in the furthering
of Conference missionary work.
India will be sent $300, $200 to
Japan, $200 to Alaska and $200 to
the Philipines. Ethiopia will be
given $100.
Representing Bethel in the tour-nament
were; Thorlief Aunvik, in
oratory, and Wendell Anderson,
Jack Jensen, Tom Persson and
Cliff Anderson, in debate. Prof.
Harold Berntsen accompanied the
group as coach.
Thor Aunevik made a superior
showing in the oratory contest
with his oration entitled, "What
the Europeans Think of America,"
but was not one of the two speak-ers
to enter the finals.
The team composed of Wendell
Anderson and Jack Jensen won
four out of their six debates, being
triumphant over teams from
Northwestern schools, Augsburg
college, South Dakota State Uni-versity
and Souix Falls college.
In their other two rounds, Ander-son
and Jensen were defeated by
only one point by Moorhead State
Teachers college and the Duluth
branch of the University of Minne-sota.
Macalester, the University of
Minnesota, and Northern State
Teachers college were given de-feats
by Tom Persson and Cliff
Anderson. However, they were
beaten in the last three rounds by
North Dakota Agricultural college,
Montana University and Eau Claire
State Teachers college.
The three top teams in the de-bate
tournament were Luther col-lege,
Eau Claire Teachers college,
and St. Olaf college.
Tomorrow night the second
Campus Game Night, sponsored by
the Student Council will be held
in the lounge and recreation room
of the boys dormitory.
Winter quarter finals will be-gin

Seventy pints of blood were giv-en
by members of the student
body and Bethel faculty Friday,
January 26 in response to the Red
Cross blood doning campaign.
A mobile unit for draw-ing
the blood was set up
in the recreation room of
the Edgren Residence by a staff
of Red Cross workers on that
day. Work began for them about
9 A. M. and ended after 3:30 in

Campus Game Night
Last Saturday night, a group of
forty Bethel students gathered in.
the lounge and recreation room
of the boy's dorm and participated
in the first Student Council spon-sored
Game Night this school year.
The evening was designed to pro-vide
inside entertainment defying
the cold winter weather.
In the early part of the evening,
students found themselves at the
various tables to play indoor games
such as Carams, Anagrams, Mon-opoly,
Parchese, Chinese Checkers,
Chess, and working puzzles. In the
recreation room many took their
turn at the ping-pong tables.
A table was set up for the sale
of candies, potato chips, and pop,
and was under the direction of
Anna Newell.
The crowd increased towards the
latter part of the evening when
they all gathered in the lounge
and saw colored slides of former
Bethel activities, such as chorus
trips, football, Homecoming, and
freshman-week, which were shown
by Ruth Martinson.
Lois Redin, College Junior, is
the Student Council chairman of
Game Night: her assistants being
Shirley Kilgore, in charge of
games; Jim Lemon, heading the
table committed and Audrey Hol-stedt,
in charge of publicity.
Army; Rev. Arthur Christenson,
director of Conference work in Cal-ifornia;
Dr. Bernard Ramm and
Prof. Clifford Larson of the Bethel
Music and singing will be fur-nished
by Bethel student groups.
Conference sessions will begin
Monday afternoon at 2 P. M. in
the college auditorium. Morning
and afternoon sessions will be held
on the Bethel campus, while even-ing
sessions will be conducted at
Bethlehem Church, Minneapolis
and Central Church, St. Paul.
the afternoon. A physician was on
hand to examine donors and deter-mine
whether or not it would be
advisable for them to give blood.
A hemoglobin test was taken to
eliminate prospective donors who
showed a tendency toward anemia.
None of the donors have reported
ill affects to the campus Health
In a recent issue, a Red Cross
news sheet listed the uses for
such blood donations as: treatment
for Korean wounded, fighting
blood diseases, use in cases of
severe bleeding, and use in re-search
to teach scientists more
about the chemistry of the blood.
Students who did not donate
blood, but would like to do so may
accompany a group scheduled to
visit the Red Cross regional blood
center in downtown St. Paul dur-ing
the month of March.
Preachers To Be
'On the Spot'
At Alexis Tues.
The "preacher on the spot" will
be the discussional approach for
the Alexis Society meeting, Tues-day,
Feb. 13, at 8:00 P. M. in the
Seminary Chapel. The program is
planned to put preachers and
preachers-to-be from the audience
"on the spot" as to their opinions
about solving problems facing
church leaders.
All Seminary students and fac-ulty
members, their wives and any
interested college students are wel-come
and will be invited to parti-cipate
in group discussion of the
problems confronted by the pastor
in relation to such practical is-sues
of Christian living as "What
to do about Television?", "Remar-riage
after Divorce?", and "What
about Eternal Security?".
Faculty Recital Features
Schumann's Works Tonight
Robert Schumann's Trio in G minor for piano, violin, and cello,
will be the concluding number on tonight's faculty recital, which feat-ures
Mildred Bisgrove, pianist, Valdeko Kangro, violinist, and Kaljo
Raid, 'cellist. This is the second in a series of programs presenting
our faculty in recital.. As well as being very enjoyable, these recitals
educate the listener in the cultural heritage that is ours in music.
The featured composer of the evening is Robert Schumann. There
are three fields in which Schumann has excelled as a composer of the
Romantic Period: piano composition, in the songs and song cycles, and
in the field of chamber music. It is in this last category that we have
our interest for tonight's recital.
Schumann disclosed himself as a master of moods; his music is
characterized by sudden changes of moods that seem to reveal a dual
personality within himself and his music. The music of the romantic
period contains enthusiasm, feeling, humor, charm, and exquisite
taste. In 1851, one hundred years ago, Schumann wrote the Trio in G
minor which is the contribution of the Romantic period to tonight's
Sonata for Cello and Piano Eccles (1668-1735)
Trio in B flat Major for Violin, Cello, and Piano Mozart
Concertino Marziale for Violin and Piano (Raid, Bethel Faculty)
Trio in G minor for Piano, Violin, and Ceelo Schumann
Animato, ma non troppo
Un poco lento
Energico e capriccioso
These are the works to be performed tonight at 8:30 P. M. in the
college chapel by the faculty trio.
There are several future dates that are important for music lovers
to remember. On March 9th, the Senior Class of 1951 presents in concert
the A Cappella Choir of the Northwetsern Schools in Minneapolis. On
March 16th, Mildred Bisgrove and C. Howard Smith will present a
two-piano concert in the college chapel in connection with Prospective
Students Day. April 24th has been set aside for another student
recital. The participants are those students who are enrolled in the
applied music courses with some member of our faculty. On April
20th, Edward LaVau, baritone, of our music faculty, will present a
voice recital of standard Italian, German, and English works. On May
4th, Miss Bisgrove, Mr. Kangro, and Mr. Raid will present their final
chamber music program of this year.
Debaters Enter Major Competition
At Red River Valley Tournament
The Bethel debate team traveled to Moorhead, Minnesota, on Feb.
2 and 3 for the Red River Valley Forensics Tournament. Thirty five
men's teams and sixteen teams of women from 24 colleges and uni-versities
took part in the tournament, which is considered one of the
major forensic events of the year in the northwest. The tournament
was sponsored by Moorhead State Teachers college and Concordia col-lege,
both of Moorhead.
"Remember Jesus Christ"
Theme of Founder's Week
"Remember Jesus Christ" has been selected as the theme for the
eighth annual Founder's Week Conference at Bethel., February 19
through 23, 1951.
Commemorating the eightieth anniversary of the founding of Bethel
Seminary in 1871, the week is planned to coincide with the birthday
week of the founder, Dr. John Alexis Edgren.
Pastors and laymen from churches from coast to coast and especi-ally
from the Twin City area will attend the annual occasion. Students
of both the college and seminary are urged to attend all the sessions

Double Exposure
by Marty
Your letter from Mom gone, a desperate
call for "some extra cash" could only mean
one thing—you have a brother or sister
on campus.
If you're a typical brother-sister team
you might be freshman Gerry Daley and
and sem student Beb Daley. The Daleys
hail from Sioux City, Iowa.
Some families are as alike as twins, and
Connie and Delmar Johnson, Chicagoites,
aren't hard to recognize as having the
same parents.
This pair of blonds, quiet fellows may be
identified as brothers—they're Lowwel and
Roger Bergeson who cite Omega, Wis-consin,
as their home town.
Representatives of Ferndale, Washington,
are the sisters Lorraine and Margaret Fri-berg,
who look alike but don't act alike.
The fellow who said "as close as broth-ers"
must have Eddy and Johnny Viren
in mind. Eddy, recently back from the
Invasion Army, joined his brother as a
sophomore. They're from Duluth.
Violet and Shirley Olson, who room to-gether,
and both work in the Coffee Shop,
come to Bethel from Rutland, North Dak-ota.
A new student on campus, Milton Paul-son
probably came down to watch over
little brother Harris. The Paulson's are
from Albert Lea, Minnesota.
Red-haired Loyd, and his brother, Archie
Cummings are from Sparta, Michigan. (Talk
about family resemblances.)
You know them from the dining hall.
Harold Christenson—manager of the din-ing
hall—is proud to say that the other
Chris, Shirley from Muskegon Heights,
Michigan, is his little sis.
Edna says of her brother Maurice (Prof.)
Schultz, "I don't know what mark you'll
get in Speech."
Another set of brothers may be found in
Robert and Ralph Bennet, here from Sko-kie,
Mrs. Anne Anderson and her son-in-law,
Bert Gilbert, have the rare experience of
going to school together.
Faculty combinations include sophomore
Jocelyn Carlson who's father is dean of the
college, and Jolyn Conrad who's father
teaches in the seminary:
by Ann Radunz
This was my third night - yes, my third
night of unbearable imprisonment,
suffocation, and separation from my loved
ones. I tried to it up, but the tight band
that had been put about me only made
the task more miserable. Regretting that
I had never learned to read, I crawled over
to an amiable looking prisoner and asked
him to tell me what the band said which
so forcefully had become a part of me a
few days ago. After much deliberation,
he slowly repeated these words - -Ester-brook
Pen - -Red - -Found in the library
Jan. 15.
"Hmmm that was three days ago. Too
bad! Since your master hasn't claimed you
yet, you are probably resigned to the fate
of the rest of us - forgotten. Why only
yesterday I saw my master at the banking
window, and thought I was rescued for
sure, but no - he only wanted more money.
I can't believe that he would forget me."
The old grey fountain pen mumbled on,
but I, too disheartened to listen, wiggled
back to my, corner and shamelessly let the
big drops of ink trickle down my cheeks.
The moon-beams streamed in through the
window and illuminated the beautiful
pearls that lay there. Would they ever
again adorn their mistress? The colorful
silk scarfs looked like billowy clouds which,
somewhere, had joined with a passing rain-bow.
My thoughts flew to my owner. Some-times
I hadn't given her the best of ser-vice--
like that time I intentionally squirted
ink all over her term paper–but I usually
tried my beast. A longing to be home filled
me and there, alone among many, I whis-pered,
"Am I forgotten? Am I lost for-ever–
lost in the night?"
President Wingblade
Some years ago a man spoke at Bethel
on the subject—"An Interesting Person."
What persons are interesting? Is it not
true that an interesting person must be an
interested person?
What are you interested in? A professor
at the University of Minnesota once said
that a person who is enthusiastic about
cosines can make other people enthusiastic
about his enthusiasm.
On a New York street, in the rush and
hurry of business, someone dropped a
coin, and the sound of it made many people
turn about—wondering whether they had
lost it. There was another sound—fainter-that
of a cricket or the chirping of a
cricket. Only one man had ears tuned to
hear it—a naturalist. He turned aside from
the rush to investigate curiously.
One of the greatest friendships in Ameri-can
history was that between Jacob Riis,
New York editor, and Theodore Roosevelt,
the distinguished president. It began when
both were young men walking almost arm-in-
arm on the New York sidewalks at
midnight. One was then a reporter and the
other police commissioner.
Jacob Riis became distinguished as an
editor and publisher, also as a philan-thropist.
(Read his life story—The making
of an American.) He wrote another book en-titled,
"How the Other Half Lives" pictur-ing
the conditions of the "submerged
tenth", the East Side and so forth.
Some time after this book came out,
Theodore Roosevelt, now risen to great
prominence, dropped in to Jacob Riis' of-1
fice, and found him out. He left a simple
little note: "Have read your book. Want to
When Robert Moffat was home on fur-lough
from his great missionary labors,
he was a guest in a certain family. The
daughter in the home asked him to in-scribe
his autograph in her album and
write something there. The great mission-ary
wrote the following:
"My album is a savage breast
Where tempests rage and shadows rest
Without a ray of light.
To plant the name of Jesus there,
And see that savage bow in prayer,
And point him to worlds more bright and
That is my soul's delight."
Shall we ask ourselves: What are we
interested in? A high and holy enthusiasm
will make our lives to glow—for time and

The year of our Lord 1951... what a year of uncertainty! Perhaps no one who is
old enough or young enough to be scanning the pages of the CLARION can look back
on any year in their history which began as unsurely as this year which has just been
launched. There seems to be that air of indecision and that feeling of waiting for "the
thing" to "break" which makes for restless spirits coupled with an anxious groping
for something secure in a world of shifting foundations.
Bethel finds itself in the midst of this confusion and perhaps the general atmos-phere
of the times presses itself in upon both administration and students as they
go about this business of offering and pursuing an education. How reassuring it would
be, we sometimes think, if someone could forsee the future year and plot a course
of action which would adequately meet the problems as they arise.
With the Centennial celebration of the Conference a mere seventeen months
hence, much emphasis is being placed on completing the building goals on campus.
This spring we should see the beginning of the Administration-Chapel addition to
our library which will finish a most appropriate memorial to the former Bethel stu-dents
who have given their lives in the service of their country. Let us pray that
more names will not be added to the list before the building is completed. The sep-arate
field house as well as the Music and science building, will no doubt have to
await the easing of the national defense program. If we are allowed to finish the
Snelling Ave. group of buildings now, we should indeed be thankful.
The male population of our school is certainly "betwixt and between" these day*s
as they ponder the possibility of military service interrupting their education soon.
We have already felt the effects of the draft as a few fellows have left school to
enter the service and with the military needs outlined to increase our defense depart-ment
to an estimated three million men, more of our men will be called to the
colors during the summer months.
The school enrollment next fall will probably show a sharp decrease and, whether
we like it or not, we should prepare now for the smaller student body for the year
1951-52. This will probably mean the limitation of some school activities because
of the decrease in revenue and other difficulties arising from our national defense
effort. The school should consider the advisability of adding and strengthening cours-es
to meet the needs of women students. For instance, business, pre-education, home
economics and pre-nursing are fields which should be investigated.
Yes, these are uncertain days but they are also days of great opportunity for
the Christian to stand as a stabilizing element in the midst of confusion. As a Chris-tian
school, Bethel's faculty and student body should be no exception. We, above
all people, should have direction and purpose in our plans and know "whither we
are bound". Therefore, we should seek for God's will and plan as we look ahead to
the years that lie ahead and then efficiently and conscientiously carry out that pl
in every activity of this school. Although we are not "of this world", we are still
the world" and we have a standard set for us in Colossians 3:17 which needs reempha-sis
in this day... "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him." So let us bring a consistent
Christian pattern into everything we do, whether it is in prayer, work, Bible study,
classes, athletics or social activities.
Day of Decision
by Jean Hoskings
It was just another Monday morning chapel. Perhaps I didn't feel quite as sleepy
as some Monday mornings because this was the beginning of Missionary Emphasis
Week. I was interested in the missionaries and what they had to say, but I didn't
really expect them to say anything to me. I knew the field where the Lord wanted
rue to work and it wasn't a foreign mission field. I was siting raher securely among
my friends.
The speaker was saying to count the cost and see if you have the stamina
for missionary work or any Christian work, but the Lord had spoken to me in the
Scripture reading before the message started. There was something I wanted to do
for the Lord and there was no price too great for me to pay.
To leave your family was not too hard. To accomplish very much in the world
you generally had to leave your home. Suffering too is inevitable for all people.
But the verse said, "his own life also".
I knew that any talent I had was from the Lord and I had given it to Hj.m.
To me life meant doing some great thing for His cause. I only wanted the Lord's
will done. Yet I realized that as I went through day-by-day activities' I just didn't
like it when I didn't get my way. At times I felt cheated and resentful.
I had been afraid to do anything I knew the Lord din't want me to do, but
I had done a good deal of independent thinking. I had my own rosy parcel of day-dreams
of the future. I had a lot of my own ideas about what needed to be done
in Christian groups which I thought were pretty important. I repeated the words
to myself, "your own life also". I knew they were speaking of this world within
which I was hugging so close to myself.
I took notes in my next classes, ate lunch, and behaved pretty much as usual
but I was making a decision. I remembered the poem, "The Hound of Heaven" and
I knew the Lord would win.
As I set my books down on the library table that afternoon I said, "my own
life also", and then something just smiled inside of me as I remembered the other
words, "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it".

The 1951 SPIRE will introduce
several new features which have
never appeared in previous Bethel
yearbooks. The outstanding new
innovation will be the inclusion of
color in every section. There will
be panels of green as well as
green headlines throughout the
book. Also featured will be divi-sion
pages printed on a different
stock of light green paper. These
pages will be glued into the bind-ing
and will provide more definite
divisions for each section, accord-ing
to the editor. The final "new
twist" is the arrangement of the
school activities in chronological
order rather than in conjunction
with the sponsoring group.
The members of the editorial
staff have been assigned different
segtions of the book to complete.
Under the general supervision of
Gloris Swanberg, the staff is busy
completing the layouts and design
of the book. Carol Dubuque and
Janet Olson are in charge of the
Administration and Faculty sec-tion.
The Class section is being
handled by Lois Redin and Audrey
Samuelson and Jo Ann Johnson,
Barbara Port and Beverly Harris
are working on the Activities
pages. Florence Nordstrom and
Mary Quernemoen are in charge of
arranging the Organizations with
Cliff Smith and Shirley Lewis
handling the Athletic section. Copy
writers are Ann Radunz and Jean
The 1951 SPIRE is dedicated to
Miss Effie Nelson, Dean of Wo-men
and German professor. Miss
Nelson has served as Dean of
Women for 20 years and her stu-dents
remember her for her quick
wit and congenial personality. An-nouncement
of the dedication was
made this morning by Dave Carl-son
during the Chapel service.
The business staff on the SPIRE
under the direction of Ronald
Johnson, is working toward its
goal of $2,000 worth of advertis-ing.
To date, over half of the ad-vertising
space has been sold and
with several churches and busi-ness
firms still to respond, it is
hoped that the goal will be reach-ed.
Working with Ronny and Nett-ie
Dvirnak, as assistant business
manager, and Roy Lundquist, treas-urer.
Advertising salesmen are Al
Olsson and Don Yerrington. The
typing staff, consisting of Lenore
Anderson, Shirley Adamson, Mari-lyn
Smith and Florence Oman,
handles the typing of all cores-pondence
and filing of pictures.
With Keith Davis and Archie
Cumings in charge, the photo-graphy
staff has taken and devel-oped
pictures of all school activi-ties.
They also were assigned to
take all the organizational pictures
for the SPIRE. The other members
of the staff are Ralph Carlson,
Dick Lovell, Roger Jacobson, Eddie
Meyer, Burton Blair and Rodney
RELEASED MAY 15th
Present plans call for delivery
of the 1951 SPIRE by May 15th.
This will allow aproximately ten
days for students to get their
books autographed before the end
of the school year.

and husband, Axel, assistant cust-odian
and engineer. The family is
living in an apartment in the base-ment
of the Seminary building.
Natives of Stockholm, Sweden,
the Bjorhom's say they like Amer-ica
very much and are even "gett-ing
used to the food which in-cludes
a lot more salads than we
are used to".
Lars and Peggy are already en-rolled
in a St. Paul school and are
busy learning the English lang-uage.
Mrs. Bjorhom can under-stand
quite a bit of English and
is becoming more fluent in speak-ing
it. Says little Lars, :11i! is the
easiest word for me."
Speech Contest
Considered by TSP
Plans for sponsoring a speech
contest on campus were mentioned
by Tau Sigma Pi members at their
meeting last Tuesday besides the
active participation which they en-gaged
in during •th e panel dis-cussion
scheduled for the even-ing.
"Family Table Talk", the subject
chosen for panel discussion, was
thrown open to the entire group
later in the meeting to discover
what students considered proper
topics for conversation during
meal time.
Lorraine Pepper led the discus-sion,
assisted by Bernice , Good-night
and Naomi Nesterud. Gordon
Paulson spoke impromptu on
"Hanging Pictures" and Genevieve
Sutton gave the poem, The Touch
of the Master's Hand earlier in
the program. Dean Olson acted
as presiding chairman.

Boy's Dorm Meeting
To Feature Two
Airline Films
Next Thursday evening, Feb-ruary
15th, beginning at 8:30 p. m.,
a meeting of the Bethel Men's
Association will meet in the base-ment
of the boys dorm. Jim Lemon
and Jim Hubbard, in charge of
the meeting, have announced that
two technicolor films on North-west
Airlines will be shown. After-ward
refreshments will be served.
The Bethel Women's Association
will meet next Thursday, February

Miss Helen Peterson in charge.
A group of thirty-five Bethel'
students, members of Mr. Bloom's
and Mr. Engwall's Psychology
classes, visited the Anoka State
Hospital, Anoka, Minnesota, last
Friday afternoon, February 1st.
The Anoka hospital is a mental
hospital and over 1,000 mental
patients are cared for there.
Conducting the group on a tour
of the hospital were Miss Rabkin,
a psychology intern at the hospital
and Mr. Larson, a member of the
administration staff. Miss Rabkin
stated that most of the psychosis
of the patients was the schizo-phrenic
type, and that the hospital
was not of the nature to contain
the exrteme cases of insanity.
The group was taken through
three of the ten cottages on the
grounds and shown the patients,
the way they live, and some of the
handicrafts and arts in which they
Prior to conducting the tour,
Miss Rabkin gave a brief history
of the fifty year old institution
and told of the therapeutic methods
made available to the patients.
Among these were the electric
shock treatment given to patients
suffering from extreme melan-cholia,
and lobotmies, surgical op-erations
performed on the brain.
Before leaving the institute, the
students were shown the new
Psychology office on the grounds
and were introduced to some of
the testing methods given the pat-ients.
Skit is Feature
of German Club
Next Tuesday
Next Tuesday, February 13th, at
11:20 a. m., in the lounge of the
girl's dormitory, the German club
will hold its first meeting of the
month. A skit entitled "Einer Muss
Heiratez!" will be presented by
second year German students. A
narrator will narrate the text in
English. Miss Nelson, German in-structor,
has re-edited the skit
from a one act play of the same
title. The skit is of a humorous
nature relating the story of two
bachelors who cannot receive their
inheritance from their father un-less
one marries.
Following the meeting, the group
will meet for dinner in the Bethel
dining hall.

Cagers Battle Tough Bethany Five Tonight
Indians Seek Sixth Win;
Bethany Here on Tuesday Coffee Cup Set
For March 6
Once again we call your atten-tion
to the fact that the Coffee
Cup Game is coming up on
March 6. That's on a Tuesday night
here in the Bethel gym. It's an
annual traditional game between
the Faculty and some picked team.
Here is the schedule:
Game 1 Seminary All Stars vs. In-tramural
All Stars.
Game 2 Faculty (All stars) vs.
College All Stars
Plan on this game as it is one
which is annually a big spectacle
here on campus. It is sponsored
by the Clarion sports staff.
In their first game, the Bethel
girls team dumped the University
Farm School girls 17-7. The contest
was played at the Bethel gym on
January 31.
A fired-up Bethel five grabbed
an early lead from Itasca J. C. of
Coleraine, Minnesota on January
27 and maintained it to return
home victors, 65-37.
The lopsided win showed there
still was some punch left in the
Indians who had previously lost
six of eight games. All eight play-ers
who played in the contest
scored in the Indian's most deci-sive
win of the season.
Snaring a 16-13 first quarter
lead, the Bethel quintet was led
by fireball guard Bud Pierce who
connected on four shots of 12 at-tempts
in this stanza. Pulling away
in the next period, the cagers held
•the bewildered Vikings to just
four free throws. In the final
twenty minutes, the Indians in-creased
the margin and coasted
home a winner by 28 points.
Scoring for Bethel was as fol-lows:
Pierce and Hage, 12, John-son
11, Thompson 9, Messenger 8,
Ron Nelson 6, Unruh 4, and Harry
Nelson 3.
Bud Pierce 88 16 192
Pete Unruh 27 81
Art Hage 28 24 80
Gordy Johnson 26 25 77
Ralph Martin 27 14 68
In what was probably the feat-ure
game of the season, the cagers
edged Northland College on the
loser's fl. or 64-62 in overtime'.
The contest was played away at
Ashland, WisconFin.
Bethel, out for revenge after an
earlier 58-47 loss to the Lumber-jacks,
played its best game of the
season and were i ewarded with
a spine-tingling victory.
Chalking up their second win
in four days, the Indians downed
Concordia in the first game at
Minnehaha Academy gym since
December 12. The game, played on
the first day of February went into
the books as a 62-45 Indian win.
The Comets insisted on staying
in the ball game for the first half
and made an interesting game out
of it for one half. Halftime score
showed 26-26 deadlock. In this
half both teams attempted 33 shots
with Bethel making 12, one more
than the Comets.
In the last half, smooth-operat-ing
Bud Pierce neatly poured on
the heat as he added thirteen
counters to his already fine first
half total of ten. Genuinely out-distanced,
the Concordia team was
unable to rally and bowed to a
better team. Pete Unruh, sharp-shooting
seminarian dropped in 11
and Gordy Johnson, the team's
best rebounder helped with 10.

Pierce's free throw put Bethel into
a 23-20 lead again. Northland
countered with a basket and Pierce
came back with his fourth of the
night. The half way score found
Bethel ahead by a point, 30-29.
In the second half, Hage made it
32 and Unruh got two quick ones
to make the score 36-29. Then
Hage and Pierce both scored to
West Given
First Defeat
Previously undefeated West suf-fered
its first and second defeats
of the season in its last two out-ings.
The Intramural leaders had
not lost any games this year before
in basketball after a perfect foot-ball
record. However, the West
team still continues, to lead the
pack by a safe margin in total
points, now having scored 99. Next
is Illinois with three wins to raise
their total to 67.
East and Iowa both faltered in
their attempts to gain. The Michi-flan-
Wisconsin team picked up ten
points to move closer to fourth

In the overtime, Johnson scored
but so did Northland. Next it was
Pierce's turn, but again the Jacks
countered. So Mesenger dropped
one in which again was equaled
by the opponents. Then with fifty
seconds to play, ice-cool Pierce
dropped in the clincher. The In-
,clians got control of the ball and
stalled out the remaining time.

Cagers Drop Laker
Preliminary 65-46
Dropping their sixth contest in
eight starts, the cagers bowed on
January 19 to Eveleth 65-46. The
game, played at Eveleth, was the
second defeat by Eveleth this year.
Bethel managed to hang fairly
close to the smooth-working north-ern
team in the first quarter as
the score showed them down only
14-12. In the next quarter, Bethel
lost more ground and half time
showed Eveleth leading 30-24.
Continuing to show more power
all along the way, the Eveleth
five went on a scoring rampage in
the last two quarters of the tilt
and far outdistanced the Redmen
by a total of thirteen points to
finish victors by a final margin of

Surging ahead with new power, the Indian cagers seem to have
"found themselves" in their last three games. After blowing a loss to
Eveleth on the opponent's court, the Indians have come back to chalk
up victories over Itasca, Concordia, and Northland.
Tonight (February 9), the local five is on the road once more, this
time at Mankato to battle the powerful Bethany crew. Bethany is a
member of the Southern Minnesota Junior College Conference, of which
Bethel was formerly a member be-fore
acquiring their senior col-lege
status. Bethany is the team
to beat in this conference this
year and appears to be headed for
the title. So this all adds up to

The Packers defeated the Lions 27-20 to complete the season sweep of Detroit.
Strange Days
Lambeau Field was an odd place Sunday evening.
James Jones dropped a pass for the first time all year, Aaron Rodgers lost a rare fumble, Mike Daniels was spotted showing off a Lambeau Leap, the Packers ran the ball with gusto and Mason Crosby hit two big field goals.
Most of the team's luck this season has been bad, so the Packers welcomed some positive luck on Sunday.
Good luck coupled with a dominating performance in the second half proved to be the equation for victory on Sunday as the Packers moved into sole possession of first place in the NFC North.
Running the Football
The Packers defense was gashed on the ground for the third straight week. The Lions running backs totaled 135 yards on 32 carries, but when it mattered most, the defense came through. The defensive unit was better in the second half while playing with a lead, but the hopeful return of Clay Matthews next week cannot come soon enough.
After seeing the field for just over seven minutes in the entire first half, the Packers offense made the most of its opportunities in the second session.
The offense, led by the rushing attack, came alive. In fact, the Packers only touchdown drive of the fourth quarter featured seven plays and not a single pass.
Green Bay covered 59 yards in just over four minutes following good field position after a rare Jason Hanson missed field goal. The drive culminated with newcomer DuJuan Harris scoring a touchdown on an untouched 14-yard dash up the middle.
Overall, the Packers totaled 140 yards on the ground and continued their streak of running the ball well in the month of December
Play of the Game
The Packers' offense faced a third-and-four from the Lions 27-yard line on the eighth play of the opening drive of the second half.
Following the snap, the pocket quickly collapsed around quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Like he has so many times before, Rodgers somehow escaped harm. Sprinting out of the chaos and to his right, Rodgers looked for Jermichael Finley in the flat.
Finley continued his route to the sideline and the Lions' defender closely trailed the tight end creating a clear path for Rodgers to run to the end zone.
Five yards from the end zone, Rodgers raised the ball into the air to celebrate and upon crossing the end line pulled out a championship belt before heading to the stands for one of the poorer Lambeau Leaps in Rodgers' history.
The score gave the Packers their first lead of the game and the momentum shift proved too much for the Lions to overcome.
Turnovers Tell the Story
Aside from the final score, the turnover battle is typically the second most telling statistic. And for the second straight game, it was the Packers positive ratio in the category that helped bring the team to victory.
An early Rodgers' fumble led directly to a Lions touchdown but the sole Packers turnover was overcome with a productive second half by the offense.
Matthew Stafford's own fumble led to a touchdown with defensive lineman Mike Daniels scooping up the ball and barreling 43-yards for the score.
Sam Shields first half interception of Stafford didn't lead to any points but did stop the Lions' drive and helped taper the Lions' explosive first half.
Both quarterbacks' fumbles proved costly, but the Packers overcame what the Lions could not. As Rodgers pointed out in a post-game interview with NBC's Michelle Tafoya, "Ugly wins are better than tough losses" and the Packers will gladly take the victory.
Up Next
The Packers came out of the contest unscathed and will happily welcome back Clay Matthews and Charles Woodson for next week's game in Chicago.
A win against the Bears would clinch the NFC North crown for the Packers.

In January of this year, Hill Farmstead was dubbed Best Brewery in the World by RateBeer.com—the world's most comprehensive beer-review-and-rating Web site—just two years after being awarded the title New Brewer of the Year. In February, I sat down with its head brewer/founder/etc., Shaun E. Hill, in the 33-year-old's home, located impossibly close to the brewery itself. When the doors opened at noon, the line for the retail shop was already so long for beers like Edward (its flagship American pale ale named after Hill's grandfather) and Fear and Trembling (its smoked Baltic porter named after Søren Kierkegaard's work) that it took the friends I arrived with the hour-and-a-half length of the interview to get growlers filled. Even Shaun himself was scratching his head at the crowd . . .
Shaun Hill: Oh man, I can't even go out there. It's just too much. I wish it wasn't like that. My driveway is completely full. Someday hopefully I can build a house down in the woods. . . . And it's only one o'clock—it's just going to keep getting worse. Is the line out the door?
__VF Daily:__Yeah.
Fuck. . . . I don't know what to do about it all. There really is no other brewery that is in that position. We seem to be the only ones who ceaselessly have people buying like 20 growlers and 12 cases of beer. Sorry, I have a very somber tone here, right? Anyone else sitting in this position would probably be like, "Man, everything is so great and we're doing this and this," and I'm just like, "Man, success is fucking stressful . . . "
Well, the first thing I wanted to say is congratulations on all the recent accolades. You've hit this sort of consumer-driven zenith, and I'm wondering what that means in terms of the future?
Creating a little more space for me to have enough distance so that I can actually decide when I feel like being social. Because currently the retail shop is also where I work. If you're in the middle of brewing and you're not having a great day, that's when all these people are really excited to talk to you and meet the brewer.
I wear everything on my sleeve. I can't paint on a face and pretend. And I've gotten a lot of shit about that.
We're adding more buildings [to the campus], but that's also pretty stressful because Vermont in general is not really an industrial place. It's not that easy to find people who know what you need done. But that's what we're doing, moving in a direction that will allow us to increase production if we wanted to. And I don't actually want to. I don't want to be a larger brewer. I just sort of want to build a playground.
At the moment, we have no debt; everything is paid for. Up until October, I only had two employees, and the October before that, I only had one, and the February before that, it was just me doing the work of five people. So I'm slowly adding people to take over different facets of the brewery, which will help separate my life from my work . . . if I ever have a personal life again.
I just feel like I'm managing chaos all the time. The crowds, however, hold great implications for Vermont tourism.
Why did you open Hill Farmstead?
When I was younger, I knew that I wanted to be a brewer. I started a home-brew club in college and fantasized about coming back here and putting a brewery in this woodshed and painting houses and just trying to create time for myself to read and write. I've kept all these kind of journaling notebooks since I was 18, and it's really fascinating to go back and look at them, like, "Whoa—some of those things actually worked out." I didn't build an outdoor bread oven, and I'm not raising chickens or whatever.
I've been really lucky through my life to have a sense of place. From day one I've been saying that we are part of a neo-American ideal, which is the opposite of infinite, boundless growth. Why that manifest destiny? I've had offers to design an I.P.A. for $5 a case, or for a check for 20 grand right on the spot. And I'm like, "This is absurd!" I mean, I'll look at a recipe and help someone out, but I've worked way too hard for too long and have too much integrity and self-pride to help someone brand a beer so they can make money by having someone else do all the work for them.
If everything is inherently meaningless and you choose what to give value to, why not choose to give value to that thing you've dedicated so much of your time and effort into producing? In today's marketplace, there's a segment of the population who in the absence of God—if God is dead, so to speak—have moved into this phase of what's been called "person-centered civil religion," where people start to find meaning and value in different things in their lives. Maybe it's football and the New England Patriots are "God," or maybe it's boutique beers. It's an age where people are spending their dollars in such a way that it also has the potential to bring meaning back into their lives.
Beer is quite a uniter. How do you reconcile with, say, fans of your beer who might be at complete philosophical odds with you?
We host events, which is often the time I'll get a chance to talk to people the most, and I think the only time that there are glaring differences is when someone is a little hostile about not being able to get our beer as often as they want to. "Why don't you just move into an industrial park? Why don't you grow? You guys could sell so much beer." They come from the point of view that business has a responsibility to meet their desires as opposed to business having a responsibility to create a positive-feedback loop that meets its own desires.
What is your design process? How do you go about dedicating beers to specific ancestors and philosophers?
Not that I'm a huge Grateful Dead fan, but I've read about Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and with them sometimes the lyrics come before the music; sometimes the music comes before the lyrics. And that's sort of how it is in terms of creating and brewing beers. As far as recipe development and flavor development, it's all about an obsession with taste. Like: "Wow, mimosas are amazing"—and I love citrus—so we try to make a beer that would heighten those characteristics. And maybe in some of the bourbon-barrel beers, it's an infatuation with marzipan and almond and coconut. And it's also really important to taste other people's beers. Although I don't know how to say this without sounding far too egotistical or something, but . . . I remember when I was studying philosophy in school, I'd go to a professor and be like, "I really want to talk about Nietzsche's madness and signing his name as 'The Crucified' in these letters," and the professor would be like, "You're focusing on the wrong things. In order to expand the canon, you have to understand the canon and work within it."
A lot of brewers now go straight from home brewing into making a chili-chocolate-chipotle porter or whatever, and it's like . . . well, just fucking make a good porter first, and understand what a porter is instead of trying to re-invent it.
As far as naming goes, when a particular beer really is striking and you know you would like to continue to make it for the rest of your life, then it's an ancestor. With the philosophical works, sometimes those names have come at the same time as the beer. We're about to launch Madness and Civilization, a Foucault series, because we have so many large, dark, strong beers in barrels that in some way end up getting fragmentized, either out of blending or by filling barrels, and there'll be an extra 10 gallons left in the tank, so it goes into this other barrel that gets topped off with three different beers . . . what the heck do you do with those? Do you come up with a different name every time? January, February, March? Or name them after the planets? So it's part of an "ultra-rational logistical structure." It's all already pretty chaotic, so to be able to make sense of it and feel that there is some semblance of control—at least in the design and the naming—the beer profile makes sense.
So, what beers taste like "tomorrow"?
That's the problem. I drank all the other great world-class beers, and I think our beer is on par with those now. It's more difficult for me to take inspiration from colleagues or other people in the industry than it was. Now it's more about new yeasts, new bacteria, new ingredients, different types of wood, etc. But we're not trying to slap people across the face with flavor and intensity. Just make succinct, enjoyable beer. People will walk into our shop and be like, "I don't like hoppy beer," and we'll say, "Well, what don't you like about hoppy beer?" And they will invariably respond, "It's aggressive and too bitter," and we'll say, "Have you had our hoppy beer?" So we'll give them some, and they'll be like, "Oh my God, I didn't know that hops and beer could taste like this! It's so flavorful and feels so good in my mouth." I suppose that's why the driveway is full.
In what context is drinking beer most enjoyable for you? I'm assuming it's changed over the past couple of years.
The context for me enjoying beer? Man, I don't know . . . I've sort of rationed back to the point of only drinking maybe a beer a day. Like, if you know that you can only eat one meal a day, for example, you'd want it to be a good meal. You wouldn't want to ruin yourself on Snickers bars or something. Well, maybe you would . . . But now when I sit and have a beer while I'm doing work in the evening or something, I'm always thinking, "What's that flavor there? Where did it come from? What's the date on this keg? What's the batch number?"
So is the mystery gone?
Part of it, I guess. It's different than it was 10 years ago. I might only be drinking wine in five years, because I don't know enough about it. I really like wine and wish I had better relationships with people in the industry so I could learn a bit more about it. But even if I had access to or had the resources and wealth to acquire amazing bottles of wine, I don't understand it well enough to know what makes this bottle so superior to this—say, a $30 bottle of Barolo or whatever. I'm still enthralled and amazed by yeast, though, man. That's where the mystery remains.

The 2009 Ig® Nobel Prize Ceremony and Lectures
2009 Ig Nobel chemistry prize winners Miguel Apátiga (dark jacket) and Javier Morales (light jacket) conclude their one-minute acceptance speech in timely fashion, thanks to a reminder from eight-year-old Miss Sweetie Poo. (The scientists placed the hat on Miss Sweetie Poo's head in response to her reminder.) Apátiga, Morales and Victor Castano were honored for creating diamonds from liquid — specifically from tequila. At right, several of the nine Nobel laureates who handed out the prizes and shook hands with the winners.

The 19th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony introduced ten new Ig Nobel Prize winners. The winners traveled to the ceremony, at their own expense, from several continents. The Prizes were handed to them by a group of genuine, genuinely bemused Nobel Laureates, assisted by a large number of assorted Ig personnel, all before a perpetually standing-room only audience. The ceremony included many other delights—see details below.
(A full report, with action photos, appears in the Nov/Dec 2009 issue of the Annals of Improbable Research. Click here to see details and video of last year's (2008) ceremony, here to see the Improbable Research special issue about that ceremony. And for a journalist's view of the ceremony, read Steve Nadis's firsthand account.)
WEBCAST: After several exciting glitches, VIDEO of the ceremony is now online, in one part on YouTube (embedded below) or in four parts on Vimeo:
Part 1: Pre-show Risk Cabaret Concert by The Penny-wise Guys, and the
very, very beginning of the ceremony.
Part 2: Lots of introductions. Several past winners return. Benoit Mandelbrot's keynote address.
Part 3: Awarding of several prizes. First 2 acts of the mini-opera. The 24/7 Lectures.
Part 4: Awarding of the rest of the prizes. Win-a-Date contest. Thrilling conclusion of the mini-opera.
|Special thanks to these supporters — they helped make the ceremony possible:
Theme: The theme of this year's ceremony is: RISK.
(The theme pertains to some of the goings-on at the ceremony, though not necessarily to any of the year's prize-winning achievements).
In addition to the awarding of the Prizes, the ceremony included a variety of momentously inconsequential events:
- Keynote Address (60 seconds long): Benoit Mandelbrot on the topic: RISK.
- The Big Bank Opera: World premiere of
this 4-act mini-opera starring Maria
Ferrante and Ben
Sears, and pianist Branden
Grimmett, conducted by David
Stylish bankers in a swanky Wall Street bar explained the explosive
rise and fall of big banking and big bankers.

[LIBRETTO: The libretto is published in the Nov/Dec 2009 issue of the Annals of Improbable Research.
- Risk Cabaret Pre-Concert: A special pre-ceremony concert (began at 7:15 pm) starring The Penny-Wise Guys (Nick Carstoiu, Michael Ricca, Neara Russell, and a little big band) presenting juicy cabaret songs about risk, reward, and Bernie Madoff.
- Pre--pre-show Boston Squeezebox Ensemble concert in lobby
at 6:45 pm), led by Thomas

Last night the Knesset voted to raise the threshold vote from 2 to 4 percent. This means that a political party must win 4.8 seats before it can receive its first seat in the Knesset. It was presented by the Likud-Beiteinu faction as a necessary measure to enable Israel's government to govern without the constant fear of being toppled by a walkout of one of its minor coalition members.
The new threshold would effectively eliminate the small parties in Israel, forcing them to align in large power blocks or disappear. Meanwhile, their votes should be siphoned off to four or five major parties.
There's an inherent problem in Israel's parliamentary system, which has made it difficult for coalition governments over the past 65 years: the executive, meaning the prime minister, is also a member of the legislative body. In order to stay in power, he or she must juggle the Knesset membership around to maintain a majority of at least 61 out of 120 members. If they go below 60, their government is likely to lose a vote of no confidence (of which it endures about 10 a week), and the nation must go to new elections.
Under the U.S. constitution, it is perfectly fine for the president to govern while both houses of Congress are in the hands of a party other than his own. He will serve out his term of four years (unless he is impeached), and would simply have to haggle with the opposition party to get his legislation through.
An attempt in the recent past to let the voter pick the prime minister in a separate vote ended up with a disappointment to anyone who thought they would attain executive stability this way – and the separate PM vote was scrapped. It appears that the only real solution would be for Israel to switch to a presidential system, with an executive who governs outside the Knesset.
But such a change would be rejected by the smaller parties, who get their life's blood—i.e. patronage jobs—from their leaders' stints as government ministers. A cabinet run by an executive who isn't himself an MK would be staffed by technocrats rather than by politicians, and the smaller parties would be left out to dry, unable to suckle on the government's teat.
The new "Governance Act" that was passed last night would presumably have the same effect on the smaller parties: they would become history. This means the elimination of all the parties that currently boast fewer than 5 MKs: Hadash (Arabs) has 4, Ra'am Ta'al-Mada (Arabs) has 4, National Democratic Assembly (Arabs) has 3, and Kadima has 2.
You may have noticed a recurring ethnic group among the Knesset factions which would be eliminated by the Governance Act. Those 11 "Arab" seats would be eliminated, unless, of course, these three factions, with vastly different platforms (one is Communist, the other two not at all). are able to unite around their single common denominator, namely that they're not Jews.
The political thinker behind this power grab is MK Avigdor Liberman, who's been dreaming about a Knesset where his faction, Likud-Beiteinu, could win a decisive majority, once and for all. His henchman, MK David Rotem, was the bill's sponsor. But the law of unintended consequences and double-edged swords is strong in Israel, and the new bill could just as easily be just what the Left needed to stage a resounding comeback.
Labor (15 MKs) and Meretz (6 MKs) are really the old Mapai, Achdut Ha'avoda and Mapam, the three Zionist workers parties. Hadash is really a remnant of Maki and Rakach, the two Communist parties which split off Mapam. If the leftist establishment got it together—as it did in 1992—it could cobble Labor, Meretz, the Arabs, Kadima and Livni to create a juggernaut of more than 35, possibly 40 seats.
This kind of unity could only be forged by a common feeling of a great betrayal by the right-wing government – and, what do you know, judging by last night's drama over the threshold vote, such a sense of betrayal is permeating the smaller parties.
One after another, opposition MKs came up to the podium and used up their time to keep silent. MK Jamal Zahalka strapped duct tape over his mouth. MK Ahmad Tibi stood with his back to the plenum. Merets chair zehava Gal-on wept, her hands over her face.

Story highlights
- The Columbus Sport 130' Hybrid is the latest vessel from Palumbo Shipyards
- Dual electrical and diesel engines reduce the ship's emissions and fuel usage
- The vessel's designers aim to fuse superyacht chic with an eco-friendly design concept
How does the wealthy boating enthusiast reconcile a passion for gas-guzzling superyachts with concern for the natural ocean environment?
Sure, powerful engines and deluxe on-board facilities ensure the lap of high seas luxury, but these extravagant features are usually powered by high fuel emissions and energy consumption.
But for the millionaire mariner with the planet's best interest at heart, help will soon be at hand in the shape of the Columbus Sport 130' Hybrid -- a new 40 meter ship that aims to fuse superyacht chic with an eco-friendly design concept.
Currently on the production line of Italian ship builder, Palumbo Shipyards, the lavish vessel is due for completion in August 2013 and will cost a cool $30 million upon delivery.
"The boat is really an innovative concept because (it) melds together very modern lines and high technology with environmentally friendly features," says Giuseppe Palumbo, general manager of Palumbo Shipyards in Naples .
Palumbo explains that the vessel's efficiencies are driven by twin electrical and diesel engines that combine performance to reduce emissions whilst simultaneously generating electricity for the ships myriad on board amenities.
It also includes extra eco features such as a bilge water separator -- a device that extracts oil from sea water entering the vessel's engines before it is disposed back into the ocean.
An all aluminum exterior and lightweight skeletal structure meanwhile ensure the ship is as slight and sleek as possible, therefore taking less energy to power, he adds.
Although there may be other yachts that offer greater speeds or performance levels, the Sport 130' Hybrid "enable(s) greater maneuverability," cuts noise pollution and reduces overall "maintenance costs" -- on top of the obvious environmental benefits, adds Palumbo.
But while the vessel may stand out because of its high-tech eco friendly features, Palumbo is quick to ensure that it doesn't skimp on the traditionally ostentatious superyacht features as well.
Four large cabins provide luxury accommodation for as many as eight guests at a time (served by seven crew members) while a spacious deck area ensures there is plenty of room for sunbathing, dining and partying come nightfall.
A custom made lounge area crafted by Italian interior design specialists, Hot Lab Studio, meanwhile includes a number of prominent glass windows that provide spectacular vistas of the surrounding seas.
Not only will this ensure that guests can enjoy panoramic ocean views, says Palumbo, but they will be able to do so safe in the knowledge that the environmental impact of their yachting extravagance is vastly reduced.

Public Comment
Bruce Love's Ballot Measure and Mayoral Recommendations
Measure M:
General Obligation Bond for Street and Reltated Watershed Improvements
The City, having for years neglected to adequately fund road repair and watershed management, with special disregard to the city's least affluent neighborhoods, now kindly requests additional funds to continue their work. Everything is more expensive these days, don't you know.
Vote "NO" and demand to see the real plan.
Measures N and O:
General Obligation Bond for Pools and Associated Facilities;
Special Tax to Fund Operation and maintenance of the Replacement Warm Water and Willard Pools
Last election cycle the City put forward a needlessly expensive plan for our pools and the voters, unsurprisingly declined.
Now we have a compromise. We meet half-way. The city has kindly lowered the price by asking for less money and raised the cost by trashing some pools. So they've split the middle. Are we even?
Vote "YES". Even at this price the pools are a good investment in community and property values. And the price ain't gonna go down from here.
Measure P: Ballot Measure Re-Authorizing Expenditures of Voter-Approved Taxes for Parks Maintenance, Library Relief, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Services for Severely Physically Disabled Persons and Fire Protection and Emergency Response and Preparedness, Under Article XIIIB of the California Constitution (Gann Limit)
Thank you, 1970s tax reform cranks. The clarity and nuance you brought us in California governance continues to serve well.
Vote "YES" because otherwise something vital will probably quickly fall apart. Don't look so smug: you don't understand it either.
Measure Q: An Ordinance of the City of Berkeley Amending Chapter 7.70 of the Berkeley Municipal Code to Modernize the Application of the Utility Users Tax (UUT)
Council wants to expand the applicability of a regressive tax on telephony services. A sleeper, sneaky tax raise -- disguised as just "modernizing" the code. No, it doesn't raise the tax rate, as the city assures us, but it does raise the number of services to which the tax applies.
Vote "NO, NOT IF YOU AREN'T GONNA BE STRAIGHT WITH US".
Measure R: Charter Amendment to Allow City Council to Adopt Decennial Redistricting Plan
Some students want to notch their politics belts by campaigning for a charter amendment to allow drawing a "student district". And they also actually want a "student district", I presume. Somewhere between that starting point and the ballot, their project turned into a measure to grant council almost entirely unencumbered "freedom to gerrymander" with or without much regard for students per se.
Vote "HELLA NO". It's a teaching moment. (For council.)
Measure S: An Ordinance of the City of Berkeley Adopting New Section 13.36.025 of the Berkeley Municipal Code to Prohibit Sitting on Sidewalks in Commercial Districts
In a desperate, last-gasp attempt to justify the taxes imposed for the Downtown Business Improvement District a handful of Berkeley real estate moguls offer to pass an ineffective and divisive law in pursuit of socially un-challenging ice-cream for all (who have enough money). As a free thank you gift, they'll throw in years of legal challenges, protests, and other excuses abuse one another in blog comments.
Vote "NO." It's not even funny.
Measure T: Amendments to the West Berkeley Plan and Zoning Ordinance
Vote "NO," because if you ask any two Berkeleyans what the measure does you'll get at least 3 and possibly 5 opinions. It's a dumb, poorly constructed measure born of a lot of bitter Berkeley in-fights. Oh, and it's a bunch of big money trying to bully/bluster the electorate around -- there's that, too.
Measures U and V:
Initiative Ordinance Enacting New Requirements for the City Council and Rent Stabilization Board and Boards and Commissions Relating to Agendas and Meetings, Requiring Additional Disclosure of Public Records, and Creating a New Commission (Sunshine Ordinance);
Initiative Ordinance Requiring the City to Prepare Biennial, Certified Financial Reports of Its Financial Obligations for the Next 20 Year Period; and Requiring Certification of Such Reports Before Council May Propose or Voters May Approve Any Debt Financing, or New or Increased City Taxes, and Before Council May Approve Any Assessments or Property-Related Fees (FACTS Initiative)
Vote "YES," and let the sunshine in.
For Mayor:
Please vote for Kriss Worthington. I think he has the intellectual honesty and the will to work with the whole community. The whole can exceed the sum of the parts.

LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of a tax exemption for natural gas drillers puts a new spin on an old problem for the Legislature. Lawmakers no longer just have to wonder whether special language they're adding to a budget bill amounts to a major policy change.
LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of a tax exemption for natural gas drillers puts a new spin on an old problem for the Legislature. Lawmakers no longer just have to wonder whether special language they're adding to a budget bill amounts to a major policy change.
Now they have to question whether they're turning fiscal sessions into full-fledged regular sessions.
Lawmakers last week easily overrode Beebe's line-item veto of a measure exempting from state sales taxes sand used in natural gas drilling, despite the governor's warnings that the tax break was unconstitutional and threatened pay raises for state employees. The exemption was included in the budget bill for the Department of Finance and Administration's revenue services division.
Beebe called that approach unconstitutional, saying it violated the amendment voters approved in 2008 setting up annual sessions — with regular sessions in odd-numbered years and slimmed-down fiscal sessions in even-numbered years. It takes a two-thirds vote to take up non-budget measures during a fiscal session.
"Substantive changes to Arkansas law that have no relation to appropriations, such as Section 16 of HB 1048, should rarely be considered during fiscal sessions," Beebe wrote in his veto letter. "If they are to be considered at all, it should be done through the process the people established in our Constitution, and not through 'special language' amendments to unrelated appropriation bills."
Complaints about the special language process, where special instructions are tacked onto budget bills, are nothing new for the Legislature. But the panel's role in shaping policy through the appropriations process is now getting a new look as the Legislature adjusts to annual sessions.
"I think there's going to be a lot of pressure in these fiscal sessions to grow that into a full-fledged session," said Jay Barth, political science professor at Hendrix College in Conway. "There's going to be battles in the coming years over whether the fiscal session becomes constrained to only budget items, and I think this does represent one of those early scuffles."
After wrapping a session that lasted nearly two weeks longer than the other two fiscal sessions, lawmakers share that worry about expanding the scope of what were supposed to be limited gatherings focused on the budget.
Backers of the exemption said they believe putting the measure in the budget bill was an appropriate way to clarify the law after a judge ruled this month that the sand shouldn't be taxed. Supporters of the exemption said it was never the Legislature's intention to tax that material.
"It's appropriate for us to provide legislative intent on the original law and let DFA know that they are operating outside of the authority the legislature provided them with," said Sen. Jonathan Dismang, R-Beebe, who proposed the tax exemption measure.
But Dismang, who also co-chairs the special language panel of the Joint Budget Committee, said that legislators will spend the interim looking at how special language is handled, particularly during the fiscal sessions. Dismang said lawmakers need to define the intent of that panel.
"I think it's something that membership on both sides of the building are going to have to define," said Dismang, who will be Senate president next year. "What parameters do we want special language to operate in?"
For some lawmakers, that question could be as easily applied to the fiscal session itself, not just the special language process.
"We need to take a total look at why we have a fiscal session," Sen. Linda Chesterfield, D-Little Rock, said after the vote. "Had I known it was going to turn out this way, I never would have voted for it."

The Claret Jug Restaurant at Cameron House on Loch Lomond has long been the 19th hole of the resort's challenging Carrick course. Not that you need to have conquered eighteen holes before enjoying its comforts. The Claret Jug is part of the Carrick Clubhouse and Spa and it provides a warm welcome to non-residents, hotel guests and spa users alike as well as golfers. It is open to all.
The Claret Jug serves from early morning through to the evening and caters for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all points in between. From the Full Monty cooked breakfast to gourmet lunchtime sandwiches and post-spa salads, offering a wide variety of dishes throughout the day is key to the popularity of The Claret Jug by Loch Lomond.
While visitors can enjoy salads, pasta dishes and sharing platters at The Claret Jug, it is perhaps the house burger which wins the most admirers. Called Beat the Burger, it features Cairnhill Farm beef, Ayrshire bacon, mature cheddar, a fried egg, relish, onion rings and fat chips. It is the perfect fuel for another round of golf or chat.
The magnificent Carrick course brings many people to The Claret Jug. However, there are many reasons to visit beside the golf. Fine views, great food and warm service all make The Claret Jug a popular spot for everybody. Located in the Cameron House resort at Alexandria in Dunbartonshire, The Claret Jug is within a thirty minute drive from Glasgow.
