At the risk of borrowing too much from a science fiction show...
From X Files: War of the Coprophages
Dr. Ivanov:
"The goal is to transport a fleet of robots to another planet and allow them to navigate the terrain with more intricacy than any space probe has done before. It sounds slightly fantastic but the only obstacle I can foresee is devising a renewable energy source. In any case, this is the future of space exploration. It does not include living entities."
"I'm just speculating here, but if extra-terrestrial lifeforms do exist..."
Dr. Ivanov:
"Oh there's no need for speculation. I believe they do."
"And assuming that they're more technologically advanced than we are and if your own ideas about the future of space exploration are correct then..."
Dr. Ivanov:
"Then the inter-planetary explorers of alien civilizations will likely be mechanical in nature. Yes, anyone who thinks alien visitation will come not in the form of robots but of living beings with big eyes and gray skin has been brain-washed by too much science fiction."
But, what if the living beings with big eyes and gray skin ARE robots? Maybe they are even more advanced life forms which combine the mecha and the orga together. Just one thing to think about, one of the biggest problems flying through space is micro-meteors and if you don't have a ship that can withstand bombardment from micro-meteors you are not going to get very far exploring space. So what you need is a ship that can repair itself. And the best self-repairing system I know of is organic life. So you need a ship which combines the synthetic mechanical with organic life. This concept was used in Quatermass, and other subsequent sci-fi stories.
So, if the ship needs to be mecha-orga then why not design the whole mission with that technology? Are alien visitors robots?

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Coe-Brown hopes for another big upset in D-II semis; Bears will face No. 1 Pembroke tonight
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
NORTHWOOD — Talk about getting hot at the right time.
"I relish the fact that we get to play them," Alosa said. "They're always a tough team. They play a tough zone and you just have to figure out how to beat it." Alosa said his team will have to continue to play the way they have all season long, and that it wouldn't matter if Pembroke was playing the No. 13 seed or the No. 4 seed. "Last year Coe-Brown caught us on a night we didn't shoot well," he said. "They made some plays and won. It happens. We could get beat again if we have a bad night and someone else plays better." It's hard to imagine that the Spartans won't have last year's early exit on their minds tonight. "They definitely want revenge," Laurion said. "It's going to be a fight both ways."
Smith compared the Bears' task to that of the 1985 Villanova team that won the NCAA championship despite being ranked eighth in its region.
Last year, the Bears were riding an eight game winning streak (six wins to end the regular season and a pair of playoff victories) into the semifinals. In fact, it was the beginning of the season where Coe-Brown struggled, going 4-8 in their first 12 games.
The losing streak also featured a 14-point setback at Plymouth and a 10-point home loss against Souhegan on the final night of the regular season. Of the three teams the Bears lost by more than 10 during the losing streak, only No. 7 Souhegan (13-7) is still alive. The Sabers will play No. 3 Lebanon (16-4) in the early semifinal tonight (6 p.m.). |

Because of your sickness, you may need to use oxygen to help you breathe. You will need to know how to use and store your oxygen .
Oxygen - home use
Your oxygen will be stored under pressure in tanks or produced by a machine called an oxygen concentrator.
You can get large tanks to keep in your home and small tanks to take with you when you go out.
Liquid oxygen is the best kind to use because:
Be aware that liquid oxygen will slowly run out, even when you are not using it.
An oxygen concentrator:
Portable, battery-operated concentrators are also available.
You will need other equipment to use your oxygen. One item is called a nasal cannula. This plastic tubing wraps over your ears, like eyeglasses, with two prongs that fit into your nostrils.
You may need an oxygen mask. The mask fits over the nose and mouth. It is best for when you need higher amounts of oxygen or when your nose gets too irritated from the nasal cannula.
Some people may need a transtracheal catheter. This is a small catheter or tube that is placed into your windpipe through a minor surgery.
If you are using a transtracheal catheter, have your respiratory therapist or doctor teach you how to clean your catheter and humidifier bottle.
Tell your local fire department, electric company, and telephone company that you use oxygen in your home.
Tell your neighbors, friends, and family that you use oxygen. They can help during an emergency.
Using oxygen may make your lips, mouth, or nose dry.
Place some gauze under the oxygen tubing behind your ear. This will help keep the skin from getting sore.
Do not stop or change your flow of oxygen. Talk with your doctor, nurse, or respiratory therapist if you think you are not getting the right amount. Take good care of your teeth and gums.
Keep your oxygen far away from open fire or any other heating source.
You need to make sure oxygen will be available for you during your trip. If you plan to fly with oxygen, tell the airline before your trip that you plan to bring oxygen. Many airlines have special rules about traveling with oxygen .
If you have any of the following symptoms, check your oxygen equipment first.
If your oxygen equipment is working well, call your doctor if:
Call your child's doctor if your child is on oxygen and is:

The first legal same-sex weddings will be held in Great Britain on Saturday, which is when a new law allowing gay marriages goes into effect. Find out which countries allow same-sex marriage and where it can get you killed.
Find out where in the world same-sex marriage is legal and where it can get you killed.
Great Britain - Same-sex marriages officially become legal in Great Britain on March 29. Same-sex couples in England and Wales have been able to enter into civil partnerships since 2005.
Netherlands -- This European nation became the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage in 2001, also giving homosexuals the right to adopt children.
Belgium -- Same-sex couples won the right to marry here in 2003. In 2006, lawmakers passed a bill allowing homosexual couples to adopt children.
Spain -- Spain became the third European country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2005. Gay couples can also adopt children there, whether they're married or not.
Canada -- The United States' neighbor to the north adopted a national law allowing gays to marry and adopt children in 2005. However, most provinces had already allowed same-sex unions before that date.
South Africa -- This country became the first African nation to legalize same-sex unions and adoptions by gay couples in 2006.
Norway -- Civil partnerships have existed in this Nordic country for 20 years. In 2009, a law was passed allowing gay couples to marry and adopt children.
Sweden -- Same-sex couples have been allowed to marry and adopt children in Sweden since 2009.
Portugal -- This European country legalized gay marriage in 2010, but excluded the right to adoption.
Iceland -- The country's prime minister married her long-time partner when the nation's gay marriage law took effect in 2010. Same-sex couples who have lived together for at least five years have been able to adopt children since 2006.
Argentina -- This country became the first in South America to legalize gay marriage in 2010.
Denmark -- The first country to allow gay couples to enter into civil unions in 1989, Denmark officially legalized gay marriage in 2012.
Uruguay -- Uruguay voted in early April 2013 to allow same-sex marriage there, making it just the second Latin American nation to do so.
New Zealand -- New Zealand legalized gay marriage nationwide in April 2013 as well.
France was the latest country before Britain to recognize same-sex marriage. Vincent Autin and Bruno Boileau were the first to exchange vows in May 2013 at a ceremony in Montpellier.
Several countries, including the United States, have partial laws related to same-sex marriage:
Brazil -- Several Brazilian states have OK'd gay marriages, but not the entire country. Civil unions have been recognized in Brazil since 2004, and same-sex couples can adopt children there.
Mexico -- Gay marriage is legally recognized in Mexico City, but not the entire country of Mexico.
United States -- It's not legal nationwide, but several U.S. states have passed laws allowing same-sex marriages and civil unions. The U.S. Supreme Court handed two victories to gay rights advocates Wednesday, striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act and allowing gay marriages to resume in California.
Six countries currently recognize civil unions, giving gay couples more or less the same rights as heterosexuals, but do not recognize gay marriage:
Germany -- Germany has allowed "registered partnerships" or civil unions for same-sex couples since 2001. The partnerships initially provided many but not all the rights of marriage, but currently provide all but joint adoption and full tax benefits.
Finland -- Registered partnerships were created for same-sex couples in Finland in 2002.
Czech Republic -- This country's registered partnership law was passed in March 2006.
Switzerland -- In a nationwide referendum in 2005, 58 percent of the Swiss people approved a registered partnership law for same-sex couples. Gay couples cannot adopt children or undergo fertility treatments there though.
Ireland -- Civil partnerships, which went into effect in 2011, give same-sex couples in Ireland the rights and responsibilities similar -- but not equal to -- those of marriage.
According to a 2011 United Nations report, same-sex conduct of any kind is illegal in 76 countries and punishable by death in at least five countries:
Iran -- Homosexuality is a crime punishable by imprisonment, corporal punishment or even execution in the case of sodomy.
Mauritania -- Under this African country's Shari'a law, "any adult Muslim man who commits an impudent act against nature with an individual of his sex will face the penalty of death by public stoning."
Saudi Arabia -- Homosexuality is a taboo subject in this conservative, religious society and punishable by imprisonment, corporal punishment or even death.
Sudan -- Punishments for anyone engaging in any same-sex sexual activities here include lashing, stoning, imprisonment and, often times, death.
Yemen -- Homosexuality is illegal here in accordance with the country's Shari'a law. Punishments range from flogging to death

Had one of those experiences last week that has really stuck in my mind.
I was driving home, and thought I would surprise Mrs. G2 with one of those "Blaster" soft serve ice creams where they stir in peanut butter cups. I pulled over to turn in and got cut off the driveway before by a truck, with an older Mexican man with a lady, so under my breathe was uttering you *%#^^ because he cut me off, plus he also turns into where I was going for the ice cream. He pulls over to the right, and I begin to pass him, to turn into the order driveway. I look and he is waving at me, so I ignored him, thinking "Oh Great, he read my lips, now here comes the trouble". I continue into the drive up window, look to my right at the adjoining parking, and here is again, waving for me to open my window. Cars also behind me, now I'm trapped, and thinking, "Oh Boy, now I've got trouble". I can't ignore him, so rolled down the window thinking he was going to say, "What did you call me", but instead he says " Can you help us, we are really hungry, and need something to eat". He never asked for money, he asked if I would buy them something to eat.
I was so caught off guard, expecting he was about to challenge me to a duel of something, having just cussed him out under my breathe for cutting me off, I realized he never even knew I was rattled over him coming inches from me. I looked over at him, maybe in his mid 50's, and wife around the same age, so I asked them if they wanted some hot dogs or something (it was a wienersnichal drive thru). He asked if I could get them some hamburgers, anything I wanted to buy for them would be OK, so asked if they wanted some fry's too. I asked the guy on the window to give me my ice cream, and if they would walk the burgers and fry's out to the mans car, they agreed to do that for me.
I think the man and his wife were turning out of a driveway where they have a recycling place to sell cans too, as they were in a pick up truck. Honestly his truck was actually nicer than mine. He wasn't that far from my age (I'm older) to where I could not picture myself in a position of having to ask a complete stranger to buy me something to eat. I can usually tell a panhandler from a real homeless person, or I was "Had" by a really convincing person, but I did the right thing. Sorry I never even thought about buying them drinks.
Whatever the case, if they were truly hungry, I'm not sure what the next day will bring for them. We are likely to see a lot more of that everyday, as times get worse, and jobs are impossible to find.

We are very pleased to announce that Deen Castronovo is now using Vater sticks.
Deen Castronovo was born in Westminster, California. Deen discovered the drums at age five and played his way through a long list of highly acclaimed bands. At 13, he had learned every song on Journey's album Infinity. Deen exploded on the scene with heavy rockers Bad English, led by his future Journey band mate Neal Schon. Bad English enjoyed great success throughout the late 80s and early 90s, all the while proving that Deen was a drumming force to be recognized. He has also released an instructional video entitled "High Performance Drumming".
Deen was the natural choice to join Journey when the band reformed and Steve Smith decided to continue on his path with Vital Information. For Deen, it was his dream gig and it's obvious by his enthusiasm on stage. Deen's solid back up vocals add another element to Journey's timeless music and he's a huge part of their continuing success, which includes receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Deen has been touring around the world and recording with Journey for over 10 years. Deen's other playing credits include Hardline, Ozzy Osbourne, Steve Vai, Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler's G/Z/R, Social Distortion, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, Paul Rodgers, Tony MacAlpine and a solo project entitled "Soul Sirkus" with Neal Schon, Marco Mendoza and Jeff Scott Soto.

They have continued to tour and record into the 21st century, and have never stopped creating vital music. Since the group's formation in 1973, the band has earned 19 Top 40 singles and 25 Gold and Platinum albums. The band's Greatest Hits album is certified 15 times Platinum, bringing Journey into the elite club of Diamond-certified album holders.
Deen Castronovo is currently on tour with Journey and is using the Vater Power 5B in wood tip.

First Quarter 2013 Equity Market Review
By Natalie Trunow, Chief Investment Officer, Equities, Calvert Investment Management, Inc.
CIO, Equities
The U.S. equity market recorded strong gains in the first quarter of 2013, benefiting from a relief rally to start the year as market participants responded favorably to the last-minute short-term fiscal cliff deal. Improving data in the U.S. labor and housing markets and continued accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve boosted investor sentiment throughout the quarter, which helped both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard and Poor's (S&P) 500 Index reach record highs. However, recessionary pressures in the eurozone and concerns about slower growth in China weighed more on international equity markets and contributed to their weaker performance relative to U.S. markets as the underlying economic reality in Europe began to seep through into investor sentiment and market performance. For the quarter, the S&P 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets Indices returned 10.61%, 10.96%, 12.39%, 5.23%, and -1.57%, respectively.
Value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the first quarter with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 12.31% while the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 9.54%. Within the Russell 1000 Index, Health Care, Consumer Staples, and Utilities were the top-performing sectors in the quarter, while the Materials, Information Technology, and Telecommunication Services sectors lagged.
Temporary Fiscal Cliff Deal and Improving U.S. Economic Data Contribute to First Quarter Rally
Following the U.S. fiscal cliff deal reached at the end of last year that prevented a series of tax increases and spending cuts from simultaneously taking effect with the new year, Congress approved a temporary extension of the debt ceiling in January, which also contributed to the initial relief rally. However, political dysfunction returned to the forefront during the first quarter as U.S. policymakers were unable to reach a deal to avoid sequestration, prompting $85 billion in automatic spending cuts to take effect. Despite renewed fiscal policy headwinds, investors looked past the federal budget sequester and focused on the gradually improving economic conditions in the U.S.
The U.S. housing market continued to recover in the first quarter with building permits and housing starts increasing significantly, while the inventory of homes for sale declined further, helping push up home values.
The labor market also continued to show signs of healing during the quarter as unemployment claims maintained their downward trend and the unemployment rate declined to 7.6%, though this was driven by a sharp drop in labor force participation.
Consumer spending data increased modestly, while vehicle sales remained strong, and the ISM National Manufacturing PMI pointed to an expansion in manufacturing activity.
The corporate earnings season finished with 67% of S&P 500 companies beating earnings expectations and 65% topping revenue forecasts for the fourth quarter of 2012.
The U.S. economy grew at a 0.1% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to the initially reported 0.1% downturn. The marginal advance in economic output was attributed to a significant decline in government spending, which more than offset strong gains in residential investment and capital expenditures and a 2.2% increase in consumer spending. The upward revision was driven largely by better trade data than was first estimated as energy-related exports rose to a record high while oil imports continued to decline.
Fed Maintains Accommodative Monetary Policy as Global Monetary Easing Cycle Continues
Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative stance. With that said, FOMC minutes released during the quarter highlighted the growing debate inside the Fed about the appropriate time to scale back the most recent round of quantitative easing. The eventuality of this scale-back triggered considerable discussion in the media around the impact of rising interest rates.
Meanwhile, Japan launched a massive easing campaign aimed at fighting deflation, which helped produce a significant run in Japanese equities.
Europe Struggles While Political Turmoil Resurfaces
European countries, including core European economies, continued to struggle with recessionary pressures during the first quarter. France reduced its 2013 growth outlook by half and the U.K. had its AAA credit rating cut by Moody's, while the U.K., Germany, Spain, and Belgium reported their economies shrank in the fourth quarter.
Political turmoil threatened to reignite the region's sovereign debt crisis as Italian voters supported parties promising to scale back austerity measures, and the country was unable to form a government. The Standard & Poor's rating agency warned during the quarter that Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France might have difficulty carrying through necessary reforms with their populations likely to oppose further austerity measures.
Economic and financial crisis was averted in Cyprus as the country's policymakers were able to reach a deal with eurozone finance ministers and international creditors for a €10 billion bailout. While the last-minute deal prevented an imminent default of the country's major banks, it also renewed concerns about the region's ability to resolve its sovereign debt crisis.
European Recession Hurts Emerging Markets but China's Economy Shows Signs of Stabilizing
Unfortunately, recessionary pressures in Europe are also likely to continue impacting emerging market economies. However, data released during the quarter showed signs of China's economy stabilizing. China's real GDP rose 7.9% in the fourth quarter while Chinese exports have seen better growth than expected. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) also increased for the first time in nine months and both measures of Manufacturing PMI increased in March. Despite these positive developments, a study published by the U.S. Federal Reserve during the quarter suggested China's economic growth could slow significantly over the coming years due to an aging population and declining productivity.
Equity markets started 2013 having gained a tremendous amount of ground since the depths of the financial crisis. A recovering U.S. housing market, declining unemployment, record-high exports, and encouraging year-end manufacturing data fueled by an attractive U.S. dollar exchange rate have all helped boost U.S. equity market sentiment. However, with the possibility of a less-than-stellar upcoming earnings season, and few positive catalysts on the near-term horizon, a short-term pull-back in equities remains a distinct possibility.
We believe the U.S. economy will be able to maintain some expansion despite the sequester. Despite having a short-term negative impact on economic growth, actions that reduce spending and improve budget strength for the U.S. over the long term are necessary. We expect housing to continue as a major driver of the recovery with the recovering U.S. housing market now providing a positive impact on economic growth and consumer confidence as well as contributing to employment in housing-related sectors, as opposed to being a drag on the economy.Â
Despite the U.K. losing its AAA rating, there seems to be little marketplace focus on how the dysfunctional U.S. political process could negatively impact the credit rating of U.S. government debt. Any discussion of a downgrade by a credit-rating agency could once again upset investor sentiment and ignite market volatility. Overall, however, the United States remains in the driver's seat of the global economy for the time being, with the rest of the world benefiting from continued U.S. economic growth, however tepid.
We continue to believe that the consensus forecast from the past several months for a European recovery was a bit premature. Â Because the economic recessionary pressures in the region are so pronounced and so strong (especially in peripheral Europe)—with Cyprus one example, however small—over time the potential default issue may continue to resurface, and markets could be reawakened to that reality.
Overall, we believe 2013 could be another good year for U.S. equities as investors look past the political dysfunction in Washington and move more money into stocks as they become more comfortable with risk. Value stocks generally performed better than growth companies in the second half of 2012, and we believe that this trend may persist in 2013 as risk aversion continues to subside. We also think that small-cap equities are poised to post better returns than large-caps, driven by healthy earnings and top-line results as well as global M&A activity. Finally, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues could become more prominent factors in individual stock performance in 2013 as the flow of information becomes more seamless and consumers become more aware of the impacts of ESG factors. As a result of these broad equity market trends, active equity managers should regain their ability to help investors benefit in 2013. Unlike the situation in the previous four years, however, we believe that positive asset flows may accompany attractive equity returns as retail and institutional investors gain confidence in the U.S. market recovery.

No. 13 BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1928 price/ 10 CENTS =* GEORGE RUSSELL HERE SATURDAY AE, Irish Poet and Economist, Will Speak on Ireland's Writers. I* EDITS DUBLIN WEEKLY George Russell, better known as AE, and distinguished in the'various fields of poetry, painting, drama and economy, will deliver the Ann Elizabeth Sheble Memorial lecture in English Literature in Taylor Hall on Saturday, the 18th of February. This versatile Irishman, who has already lectured at Harvard, Vassar, and Princeton, will speak on "Some Per- sonalities in- the Irish Literary Move- ment." Of the man. and of his place in literature, Mr. Ernest Boyd writes: "The smallest pseudonym in Irish lit- erature stands for the most manifold and, most people will agree, the greatest personality in Ireland today. AE, mys- tic poet, painter, and essayist, whose diphthong signature was once the cher- ished friend of an esoteric few, is now universally known as George W. Rus- sell, the co-operative economist and editor of 77!* Irish Statesman. It is difficult to find a recent parallel for such a diversity of interests and activities, all the faithful expression, nevertheless, of a consistent personality. Influenced By Yeats. "The evolution of George W. Russell, the economist, from AE, the mystic poet, has been gradual. The one has so grad- ually and completely merged into the other that "it is now difficult to dissociate them. AE was born in J.urgan, County Armagh, on the 10th of April, 1867, but -came to Dublin at an early age, where he had his schooling not far from the place where he has lived for the greater part of hfs life. It was not ifntil he was �:...�.. ^�nd '.a Stu3e>it*7aV_j*ie Dublin School of Art, that his real education began. There he met VV. B. Yeats and formed those ties of young manhood which were to result in the formation of a group of mystics and poets to whose existence we owe- the prose of John -Eglinton and the poetry of AE. Indeed, it is safe to say that there in the germ CONTINUED ON PAGE > Cite Universitaire American Colleges to Build a Dormitory for Their Students.

DANCES IN COSTUME Filteeii'^-^'ueulajnkersity 4"<1 co� -lege presidents, �representing"all sections of the United States, have issued a joint statement urging that a dormitory for "American students be included in the building program of the Cite UnfveTsi- taire. The Cite Universitaire. an interna- tional student city now being built on a seventy-acre tract at the far end of the Latin Quarter, Paris, contemplates a group of dormitories erected upon the American dormitory plan to house the students from all over the world who go to Paris to study. Each dormitory is. to be built on a site donated by the University of Paris, out of funds provided by the country whose students will occupy it, and will be con- ducted under the supervision of a Coun- cil of Administration composed largely of citizens of the country concerned. A central building will provide auditorium, library, restaurant and gymnasium facili- ties. Canada was the first nation to erect a dormitory for hs students. England fol- lowed, Seven French dormitories and a Belgian dormitory have- been built and occupied. Japan has raised the money for its building. Committees in Spain, Holland, Sweden, Switzerland, Mexico, Cuba, Persia, Egypt, Jugo-Slavia, Denmark and Brazil have completed arrangements for dormi- tories for^their students. An American Committee, with head- quarters at 50 East Forty-second street, New York, has been organized to raise $400,000 by public subscription, with CONTINUED ON PAGB 4 Mme. Sikilianos in her blue-green Grecian draperies, sandals, unbound red hajr, was an unusual figure for the Taylor Hall platform. Intense and obvi- ously nervous � she faced the crowded chapebas if bewildered by the audience and the familiar surroundings. Her friends advised her not to come back to America, she began by saying, as in' her twenty-five-year absence the country had progressed by leaps and bounds so far that it would not be interested in her impractical doings at Delphi. She her- self however, felt that an America, with its reproductions oi Greek theaters and interest in archeological excavations, was not so wholly practical. Mme. Sikilianos then went on to tell us something of the history of the Greek drama which she is so interested in reviving. The chorns existed long be- fore the drama in Greece. It was a chorus" very unlike our modern idea of a chorus: .it sang and danced at the same time with every gesture expressive* of the word being sung. This" gave the effect of a varying pantomime almost like a moving frieze. In the interim of the dancing the leader of the chorus recited a story of the actions of the gods or heroes which the chorus was express- ing. The leader on the leff conversed with leader on the right, and a third speaker was added only in the classic period. Thus there were all the elements of the drama just in the chorus The costumes were very simple so it was easy � to change from one character to another. At this period all the action took place in the ring, and it was only later that a stage was added and the actors divide off from the chorus. At all times the heart and chief interest of the Greek drama was the chorus. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 PROMINENT CONTRIBUTORS TO G00DHART EDITION INCLUDE PRES. PARK AND MR. MEIGS Mr. Cram's Idea to Combine Three Buildings Under One Roof. MANY HAVE GIVEN President . � > C. I. E. Offers Tours of Interest to Students Miss May Hermes di "fhe University of London and field secretary of the C. I. E. (Confederation Internationale des Etudi- anles) will speak in chapel on European student organizations on Wednesday morning, Fel>rua>y 22. Miss Hermes, who has done a great deal of organizing for the National Union of Students in England, is spend- ing the winter in this country arranging for the tours of the C. I. E. Through the N. S. F. A., Bryn Mawr is invited to send three students on any of these trips that they choose, as representatives of the college. Anybody who is inter- ested will have a chance to talk to Miss Hermes and may get details from either B. Brown, '28, or C. Rose,�'28, in Pem- broke West. The tours are of great variety, includ- ing all the more usual itineraries as well as special trips to Scandinavia, the Baltic, the Balkans and Central Europe. The groups which consist of fourteen mem- bers and a more mature person as leader are entertained everywhere by the stu- dents of the countries which they visit and have opportunities open to no other student tours. The price is just sufficient to cover expenses as the C. I. E. operates on a non-profit making basis. Student identity cards which any stu- dent going abroad may have for $1, can be secured through the N. S. F. A. They are extremely useful in obtaining reduc- tions of railroad fares, hotel accommoda- tions, and in some countries, visas. (Specially Contributed by Park.) - � Mr. Cram, the supervising architect of the* college, contributed the idea of putting under one roof three buildings which the college needed�the students' building and " the auditorium�old and well-worn aspirations�and the class rooms and recital room for the depart- ment of Music, need for Which arose with the creation of the department. He alsg- chose the site for* the combination building, first for . its accessibility both to the students and for the public, and second, and a close second, for the pic- turtsqueness of its varying levels. His also was the choice oitf^architcct. The designs were made fl Mh\ Arthur I. Meigs of the IMiiladc^rrfl^nn of Mel- lor, Meigs and Howe, and he was also commissioned to make landscaping plans for -the slopes immediately below the building, the road which enters the cam- pus at the upper side and the walls which connect it architecturally with Rocke- feller. He has also indicated the gen- eral form of the design for all the iron work of the interior which is being car- ried out in detail by Mr. Samuel Yellin, of Philadelphia, probably the greatest iron worker in America. The old estab- lished Quaker firm of R. H. Ballinger and Company are the general contractors, and their construction looks as solid as the Pyramids. Many Have Contributed All the direction from the college end has come through the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Directors, headed by Mr. Arthur H. Thomas, of Haverford, who from its first spadeful of earth has seen the build- ing through every difficulty and almost moved the stones into place himself by sheer interest. A committee of the alumnae with Mrs. Adolphe Borie as chairman have had general charge of the furnishings for the many rooms. And, obviously, back of all and-mak- ing all possible, are the givers of the building fund, first of all Mr. Howard Goodhart for whose wife the great hall is a memorial, President Thomas, the alumnae of the college, the present undergraduates, and the families, friends and neighbors of us all. Alumnae and students have given as classes and as individuals to the general building fund, to the decorations, to the furnishings in everv permutation or combination of generosity. Organ to Be Dedicated. The formal turning over of the Com- mon Room by the Class of 1897 to the undergraduates has taken place. The organ, the gift of Clara Vail Brooks, 181)7, is to be dedicated next Tuesday. The dedication of the hall will probably take place on Saturday, June 2, before the undergraduates have gone and after the alumnae have come. The guests will b( those most closely connected'with the building. Next October the ^college will invite its many outside friends and neigh- bors for a. formal opening of the hall, but in June the ceremony will he for those neaily concerned�those who have wanted such a building most keenly in the past and those who will use it most constantly in the future. Geology Professor Speaks Under Auspices of C. A. Dr. Kirtley Mather, professor of geol- ogy at Harvard, will lecture here twice this week under the auspices of the Christian Association. On Thursday evening he will speak on "The Search for God in a Scientific-. World" and on Friday evening his subject will be" "Free Will in a World of Law." Dr. Mather is an unusually stimulating and able speaker and .is tremendously admired by his students at Harvard. He presented these two subjects very effect- ively at the Silver Bay conference last Jane. . News to Move In This issue of the News was to be a Goodhart number in honor of the first use of the Jiew News office. Alas, of all the lights' in the building, those in "our- office are the ones which "do not choose to run." So that we are some- what before-hand. But electricians willing, we hope, though we dare not expect, to be in our new quarters by the be- ginning of next week. � ~---------:------------------------------------3~ "What Goodhart Hall Means to the Music Department" (Specially contributed by Horace Ahvync.) : Having been asked to write my views on "What Goodhart Hall means to the Music Department" and having sat down to attempt �o find out just what my views are, I come to the conclusion that this cannot be done under such a title, using the present tense, without being inevi- tably prejudiced by the unending proces- sion of petty annoyances and Incon- veniences attendant upon the premature occupation of a new building. After at- tempting to lecture to the obbligato of a steam-shovel on one side, stone-cutters on the other, organ-builders above, tin- smiths below and the clatter of pianos from several practice rooms, later to be made sound-proof but at present having walls through which one can hear the slightest whispered conversation," one's views are apt to be somewhat distorted. So I will occupy myself by saying "What ,Goodhart Hall xvill mean to the Music Department." Here I find myself on safe ground and in a very happy posi- tion. In fact I could almost content myself by stating my reply in one word. "EVERYTHING F In the first place there has been a progressive "raising of the tone" of music from the physical standpoint. Oji October 5, 1921, an Editorial in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, commenting on the opening of the new Music De- partment on that date, stated that music had now been promoted from the cellar, where it had hitherto resided and had occupied the position of being "like hooch, not" to be mentioned:" The pro- motion was to the delightful Music Room on the i/round-floor of Wyndham. where the Department spent a happy six years. Now it is again promoted to a still more CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Architect of New Building Writes on Difficulties of Construction, ARCHES - FOUNDATIONS Pass on the Trust and Love of Life by Worship .The Rev. Alexander MacColI, of-the Second Presbyterian Church of Philadel- phia, speaking in chapel last Sunday eve- ning, defined worship as "the celebration of life." If people today, with their love of life, their instinct for festivities and fellowship, realized this truth, Dr. Mac- Coll said, there would be no problem in filling cbttroMft and chapels for pur- poses of worship. (Unfortunately the almost empty hall was silent proof that the problem is at present a serious one.) To be in love with life, the minister continued, and to love God as the author of life, is religion'. The ancient Hebrews expressed in the psalms their feeling that man should not be silent, when all nature is continually praising the Lord; and Jesus, too, withdrew to the mountains to talk to God of the beauty of life, and to express to Him his gratitude for the trust of life which he had received. The Apostle Paul, for all his trials, bubbled over with the joy of living. Express Thanks in Prayer. Similarly, prayer is a process of .giving thanks to God, telling him of the good- ness of existence. Prayer has been vari- ously defined as "the loving exploration of God's will;" as "the intercourse of the family of God;" as "the art of mak- ing a friend of God." But above .all it is an opportunity to express our grati- tude for the whole of life, its sorrows CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 (Specially contributed by Arthur J. Meiyhs.) ' A mass of stone, high in the air, chal- lenges the imagination of its beholder. Looking up from-below,.it makes us wonder. The feudal castle clinging to its perch, a stone fleche pointing to the sky�Who wanted it, Who put the stones in place? What supports it? A building may be quick or dead; it may stir us, or it may bore us; it may be a building and nothing more; or it may be�Architecture. Buildings Have Functions. All buildings have a function to ful- fill, but Architecture is the aesthetic ful- fillment of that function. Yet functions vary as the poles asunder; as, for ex- ample, a church spire differs from a high chimney stack, and, while we may apply an unlimited amount of architec- tural ornament to the chimney stack, yet. we cannot make it the same as the church spire.. Architecture, like sculpture, must be modeled and arranged until it achieves shape. As a church spire is to a chimney stack, so may we consider collegiate architecture to commercial architecture with which we are all too familiar. If the former fails to be aesthetic, if it fails to have shape, harmony, and inspira- tion, it fails to be architecture. Built Around Great Hall. In this building, the principal element is the Great Hall, which dominates the scheme within and without. Around and against this the other elements are ar- ranged: the foyer to the smith, the stu- dents' wing to the north, the stage en- trance to the east; and to the, west, the music wing, pusjiing against the main mass from below, and holding it from slipping from its position. These lesser architectural elements buttress the ma!n architectural element precisely as the stone buttresses on the outside brace the great flying arches which arc within, and these, in tum.isupport the roof with its stone fleche which dominates all. So it builds up from the ground to its pinnacle and accent. A stone fleche held aloft in the air grips the imagination more- than one made of a lighter material, because, con- sciously or unconsciously, the mind and the senses seek for its support. And the support is there, namely, the double stone arch in the center of the interior, CONTINUED C"^ PAGE 8 Study People Youth Must Question Elders *nd Discard Past Solu- tions. Speaking at a recent meeting of the Student's International Union on "Youth's Part in International Affairs" Senor de Madariaga said that the great- est service youth could perform is to question their elders, not in any >�irit of disrespect, but in one of discarding that. which no longer fits the pftsent situation... The day is past when we can say "the Hell of my fathers is goi.d enough for me." "The time is past.'' *aid Senor de Madariaga. "when it > it wanted peace, you must prepare for war. Today na- tions arc no longer in<lcpen"<Icnt unities. They have national characteristics which differentiate them, hut they are inex- tricably united. Peace is an international phenomenon. Having tfu; sense that the world is a unity, then youth must get that which is even more important, the spirit of other- as only youth can." Finally Senor de Madariaga urged youth to study not problems, but the people who make those problems.

All about family in Puerto Rico
The morning visit to Guayama, Puerto Rico, on Sunday carried a similar theme for the visit of the four Hall of Fame plaques and the individuals so honored: Family. Or in this case, familia.
Scheduled as a visit to celebrate the hometown and birthplace of Roberto Alomar's mother, Guayama was the second stop of this four-city tour, with the plaques on display at the Guayama Convention Center.
Droves of local residents turned out to salute their baseball heroes. During a one-hour presentation, the mayor of Guayama, Glorimari Jaime Rodriguez, presented special proclamations for each of the three living Hall of Fame members and to Vera and Luis Clemente, representing the legacy of Roberto.
Alomar told the crowd, "This is a day that I will never forget. For the Hall of Fame family to share in this special place for me and my family is a great honor."
Tony Perez and his wife, Pituka, shared in the excitement, as did Orlando Cepeda, who talked of his father, Perucho, playing in Guayama in his baseball career.
A special appearance before the program began by former major leaguer Jose "Cheo" Cruz was a welcome addition to the Hall of Fame lineup.
Mayor Rodriguez led an inspired program that featured comments from the head of Guayama's youth baseball program.
Rafael Serrano, the director of Museo Deporte in Guaynabo, shared a bit of history with the audience, describing how in 1938, when professional baseball was born in Puerto Rico, it was Guayama who was the best in the game, with Perucho Cepeda and Satchel Paige leading the way.
It was a morning for familia in so many ways.
Between cities on Day 3, the Hall of Famers and traveling party stopped in a Ladi's Place on the waterfront in Salinas. Facing the Caribbean Sea and at the end of a seemingly quiet neighborhood, Ladi's was the place to be on a Sunday afternoon, as we were hosted as guests of Roberto Alomar. Robbie's childhood friend from "el barrio" in Salinas, Juan M. Gonzalez is proprietor of Ladi's and he orchestrated an epic lunch for our traveling party.
Robbie used to play baseball and basketball right around the corner from here, and today they are playing "host" to this great group. Among the most popular dishes enjoyed were Mofongo Mariscada – a sampling of lobster, shrimp, octopus and conch. We met several members of Robbie's family and enjoyed Caribbean music. Thank you – muchas gracias – to Juan and all of the great folks at Ladi's Place for hosting us.
Once in Salinas, the plaques were put on display at the Olympic Training facility, where a Sunday afternoon turned into Sunday night.
The afternoon and evening portion of the southern region visit in Puerto Rico featured a stop and tour of the Olympic Training Complex in Salinas. This place has it all, including a great museum dedicated to Puerto Rico's rich Olympic sports history.
While the plaques were on display, three members of the Alomar baseball playing family were on hand. The guest of honor, Roberto, was joined by his father, Sandy Sr., and his uncle, Rafael, a great Puerto Rican ballplayer.
In fact, Rafael collected the first hit in the history of Puerto Rico's jewel baseball field, Hiram Bithorn Stadium in October 1962.
Robbie was greeted by fans of all ages and backgrounds, many who attended elementary and high school with him.
One fan even had an enlarged team photo of Robbie's Salinas Little League team when he was 9 years old, with a cheery Alomar pictured in the center of the team photo, clearly representing his baseball acumen, even at an early age.
When the night concluded, the caravan moved to Ponce, where the four-day tour comes to an end Monday.
Sunday will always be one remembered for family, appreciation, and the impact Roberto Alomar has had throughout his life here on the southern coast of Puerto Rico.
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications and education at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Sette Flopak Hydration Bag
Whether it's a short hop or training ride the 100oz Sette FloPak is perfect for quick jaunts by road or trail. There is plenty of room for your keys, wallet, and food bars. There is a cinch tied elastic web on the back just in case you find yourself needing additional room for your goods. To add to the FloPak's versatility there is a pocket and headphone port for MP3 and CD players so you can take your music with you on the move.
The plastic liner and the padding on the shoulder straps disintegrated after the 2nd trip through the washer, on cold/cold gentle cycle....
Excellent Opportunity when that sale came out.... thank you, very light product and resistance
The pack is comfortable to wear, however the bladder is awkward to fill, and leaked after only a dozen uses. You get what you pay for.
You will enjoy this bag. It's small but straight to the point. Quick snack, tube, pump, tool, phone and of course water...bungee the breaker on the outside and go ride!
Good pack that expands pretty large, fits well, doesn't snag on armor. Plenty of external straps/bungees to lash gear to for the road ride back from the trail. All in all a great pack if you don't haul around a lot of stuff on the trail.
The only real complaint I have about this pack is, it's difficult to fill. There is plenty of room for storage though and it's held up well after a few falls I've taken while wearing it. Worth buying if you're on a budget.
This is my first pack. My second season Mountain Biking. My buddy has a Camel Back. This does everything that does for way less! ($25 on sale) Plenty of pockets, plenty of adjustment in the straps and plenty of water. Valve is great. Would absolutely recommend to a friend!
I got this because of the price. After using it only 4 times, the bladder has already developed a leak. I did not have high expectations for the bladder when I first received it and it failed to even meet those low expectations. The pack itself appears to be sturdy so I got a Camelback bladder to replace the Flowpack one that came with the pack. I would rate the Flowpack bladder below something you might buy at Walmart.

Hilton Cardiff. We had a great time despite an error when purchasing vouchers which meant we had to go four times rather one or two voucher for 4 people (our error). The head waitress Jenny was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. The chef was also great, we all wanted something different, poached eggs, fried, omelette ( going 4 times we tried it all!) again nothing was too much trouble - thank you. |
Apart from Jenny (head waitress) and the chef I think all other staff were from overseas, they could barely manage a smile. |
