On the Nature of This Report
On April 16, 1956, the city council of Galesburg, Illinois,
voted approval of "The Aims and Organization of the Galesburg
Commission on Human Relations", a recently revised document which
serves as the constitution or the Commission. Article three of
Section V of that constitution asserts that a written report on
the findings and activities of the Commission will be given each
year to the mayor and to the city council.
This summary, which has been prepared by officers of the
Commission and by chairmen of standing committees, is presented
in order to fulfill that civic obligation.
As general editor of this Report and as the Commission Chair-
man for 1955-56, I Wish to preface the Report not only by the
above introduction but also by some comments on its limitations.
The purpose of this Report is to summarize information and concerns
for those who are officially connected With the Commission. We
believe that public accountability is one of the marks of respons-
ible direction of civic affairs in a democratic society. Thus
We willingly offer this Report. We also believe that respect for
indiVidual privacy is likewise a mark of responsible human relations
in a democratic society. Thus we do not presume to "tell everything"
about human relations in Galesburg.
The reasons are simple. For one thing, those who have con-
tributed to the writing of this Report do not know everything.
For another thing, there is a distinction between the official
Commission and its individual members--even though the Commission
is necessarily composed of individual members. What some persons
have said or done to us as individuals, unless acted upon formally
and publicly by the Commission, should receive something of that
privacy which the doctor accords to his patients, the teacher to
personal problems of students, the minister to confessions of his
members, the newspaperman to sources Who speak "off the record".
In other words, though we necessarily deal With people in any
encounter with group tensions in our city, some of whom may
develop quite strong feelings either for or against the Commission,
we prefer to avoid gossip about personalities in this Report.
The tone of this Report is intentionally impersonal. And the third
reason we do not "tell everything" is that those new insights that
we or others have gained into the nature of human brotherhood,
those troubled feelings of Galesburg citizens who want to live by
the good principles of their religious and democratic heritages
but who are reluctant to change old habits and prejudices, those
special tensions and anxieties felt by members of minority groups,
those new problems which emerge in Galesburg as local expressions
of national issues, all require better artists than we to do
justice to the telling.
One final remark in these initial comments. Those who wish
to understand the Commission's ^concerns^ should consult the aims summarized
in Section V of "The Aims and Organization of the Galesburg
Commission on Human Relations". Those who appraise the Commission's
page 2
activities should remember that the Commission operates as a
civic body given sanction by the mayor and the city council
but that it has no special legal or police powers. Its basic
concern is the preservation and promotion of sound human relations
among various groups of the community. But we would remind our-
selves as well as others that our main commitment is to "human"
relations rather than solely to "race" relations and that a major
duty of Commission members, however they may speak within the
Commission for whatever groups they represent, is to act as
responsible citizens and for the general welfare.
And now to reports on events and problems.
Regular Meetings
The secretary, Mr. Rupert J. Tarver, reports that there was
a total of 9 meetings, with an average attendance of 8 1/3 members.
This total does not include various discussion or committee meetings.
Among special events at our regular monthly meetings was the visit
by Dr. H. Riley Pittman, executive director of the Illinois Com-
mission on Human Relations, and the discussion of housing problems
with Mr. N. P. Dotson, Racial Relations Officer of the Federal
Housing Administration.
An important activity of the years requiring attention at
several meetings, was the revision of the old constitution. This
document, together with a new roster of members, Was approved
by the city council of Galesburg on April 16, 1956.
The officers for next year elected at the May meeting, are:
Arthur J. Dibden, chairman; Rupert J. Tarver, assistant chairman;
Ruth Schwarz, secretary-treasurer.
Public Events
During Brotherhood Week in February, a committee of the
Commission headed by the Rev. Ernest B. Fisher prepared a cultural
exhibit on Negro life, as a contribution to the brotherhood program
of music presented under the auspices of the Galesburg Council of
Members of the Commission have spoken to local clubs on the
themes of brotherhood and race relations.
There was no money in the treasury at the beginning of our
year, and there was none at the end. This fact hampers the
communication services of the Commission and makes difficult our
planning of public events or educational projects. Our request
for an appropriation of seventy dollars from the city council
was denied this spring.
From the Committee on Education and Promotion
Mr. Felix Bengston, chairman of this recently formed committee,
reports that among their long-range plans are (1) aiding promotion
of a community counseling center and (2) investigating the possible
re-organization of a Council of Social Agencies. It seems obvious
page 3
that better coordination of the resources already present in
Galesburg could strengthen the community's contributions to
improved human relations. The committee 1s also studying methods
of increasing mutual understanding among groups.
Problems of Discrimination
The newly formed Investigative Committee, of which Mr. Rupert
J. Tarver is chairman, has been too recently organized to have
considered officially any cases of discrimination during the past
Some general comments shall introduce this section. As one
might expect, a major focus of the Commission is given to social,
economlc, and legal problems arising in the relations of majority
and minority groups in the city. Now some of the apparent dis-
criminatory actions imposed on members of minority groups can be
somewhat discounted, by them and by others, as the consequences
of momentary irritation or unavoidable decision. In cases of the
rejection of an applicant for working, housing, or other opportun-
ities there is, after all, a distinction to be made between (a)
arbitrary and stereotyped discrimination and (b) careful decisions
about the candidate's capacities and reliability. But it is often
difficult, both for the candidate and for an outside observer, to
know hether the decision Was honest or biased.
When arbitrary discrimination does occur, the human relations
problem that develops is not only the loss of a job or restriction
to a certain housing area but also the onslaught of sensitive and
often confused feelings. Specific slights and reJections may seem
small, and in the long run may be unimportant; but their accumulated
psychological effects are often deep and intense.
And now to recent history. Earlier in the year three cases
were brought to the attention of members of the Commission. (1) It
was reported that a business establishment had shown discrimination
to Negroes. As is usual in instances where feelings are aroused
and opinions vary and several people are involved, there was some
difficulty in getting a clear picture of public facts [illegible] a clear
meeting of minds. Officers of the Commission talked with the
manager and the State's Attorney. No further action was taken. No
further incidents have been formally reported. (2) Word came to
members of the Commission that some couples of what is called a
"mixed" marriage were refused service in a local restaurant. They
were entertainers working momentarily in Galesburg; and as they
had to proceed to another Job they did not stay to press charges.
(3) A brief flare-up between white and Negro boys occurred at the
local high sohool in February, 1956. Members of the Commission
participated in discussion of its causes and solutions. A special
report on that situation written by a school official who has
long been a member of the Commission is appended to this Report.
(See page 6).
The past year in Galesburg has exhibited both satisfactions and
tensions in group relatlons. Our civic record on the whole seems to
be better than that of several other IllinoiS communities. There is,
page 4
of course, room for improvement. Advancement requires common
goals and adequate methods. One problem is that persons of good
will in both the majority and the minority groups do not know how
to do the good things they would like to do--how to share experiences,
how to find the right persons to settle particular difficulties
like finding a job or getting more education, how to deal with raw
emotions. Another problem is that members of various groups both
speak, and yet do not speak, the same language. When one man's meat
perhaps unintentionally becomes another man's poison, communication
is often blocked.
We hope that city leaders and officials will foster more
equality of opportunity in job openings, and will support wider
and freer recreational facilities, and Wi11 wisely enforce our
laws. But all citizens have a share in building or breaking good
human relations.
There would be improvement in human relations if all of us
more clearly understood ourselves and our neighbors. The basic
importance of sound human relations for any society could be con-
firmed by any historian or sociologist or psychologist, but it
could also be illustrated in our own community by any intelligent
person dealing with families or students of factory workers or
business men or politlcians--or even bishops!
If individuals become and stay angry at each other, if minority
groups who share the hopes of all Americans feel they are unjustly
treated, if junior Hitlers act arrogantly and stupidly in home or
school or church or store or government, there will develop resent-
ment and perhaps violence. But if we really try to understand our-
selves and each other and if we put more honesty and fair play and
intelligence into our daily actions, then we can discover how greater
justice for one can promote greater peace for all. Group tensions
based on obvious discrimination could decrease. Democracy would
again prove its vigor. Such are our hopes.
Members of the Commission will continue ^to try^ to improve their
understanding of the possibilities and the problems of sound human
relations and, when the need arises to act Wisely within the scope
of their duties. Statement of such concerns is relatively easy; the
perplexing problem is their proper application.

mission on Human Relations.

Prepared for the Galesburg Commission on
Human Relations, June, 1956.
Galesburg Senior High School, along with other Galesburg Schools,
has followed a policy of complete integration of white and Negro
students for many years.
The only exception to complete integration of which the writer
is aware was the practice of scheduling Negro students for separate
swimming classes prior to 1946. Just how long this had been done, or
by whom it was initiated, and for what reason is not known. In the
spring of 1946 the administrative staff at the high school decided
to end the practice in the fall term commencing in September, 1946.
It seemed to the high school staff to be a needless blemish on a
situation which was otherwise quite exemplary. We knew the students
themselves were ready to accept mixed swimming, and such proved to
be the case. We have never had, at any time, any adverse reaction
to our policy of complete integration of class and extra-class
In a school as large as ours there are almost certain to be some
students who harbor some prejudices based on personal experiences,
misinformation, or absorption of home or family bias. However, to
judge from day to day observation of our students in the school
situation, persistent prejudice is practically non-existant.
There are, nonetheless, some newly-created tensions in the nation
which have been reflected in the school. The recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court regarding segregation in southern schools
and colleges and the drive to end "Jim Crow" in the south have had
overtones in northern cities and institutions. The militant stand of
the NAACP, the vigorous editorial policy of Negro publications, and
the heavy migration of southern Negroes into northern communities
are all factors tending, perhaps unintentionally, to disrupt the
earlier equanamity and steadily improving race relations in some
The flurry in our school last winter stemmed directly from these
factors. They must all be taken into account in seeking to understand
the trend of the past two years for Negro students to practice a
sort of voluntary segregation in and around our buildings. Attempts
have been made to combat this tendency with little success. As a
consequence of this new gregariousness, the Negro students have
become conspicuous beyond their numerical ratio. And the presence of
a few poor school citizens in a group tends to label all of them
similarly. The aggressiveness, disrespect for authority, and uncouth
behavior of a few is thereby charged to the group generally.
Into the midst of this new background there came last winter
some vicious rumors of dating, fraternization, and worse between the
sexes of the races. Although there were some instances of mized
dancing and a few social indiscretions, if they were even that, our
investigations at that time revealed no basis in actual fact for the
rumors. They did damage, however, in that all the dormant prejudices
page 6
of the community were aroused and some youths were infected to some
extent. The particular incident which triggered the commotion last
February 15 was the action taken by a group or four or five Negro
boys when they undertook to "gang up" on a white boy who allegedly
had insulted one of their number by using an expression to which
they took exception. The white gang which sought retaliation was as
much incensed by the "dirty" tactics of disproportionate numbers
as they were by any racial antipathies. However, it cannot be denied
that the climate of incensed, whipped-up, mis-guided public opinion
was also a motivating factor.
Prompt action by school authorities ^and^ effective help from the
Galesburg Commission on Human Relations, the Galesburg ministerial
association, and the Daily Register-Mail, succeeded in turning aside
the gravity of the situation.
Today, some three to four months later, the school situation
in regard to race relations has practicalyl returned to normal. But
some of the tensions created by events outside the school tend to
persist. The colored students generally tend to be still somewhat
on the defensive, much concerned over status in society, quick to
take offense, and sensitive to imagined slights. Their attitudes
are understandible. But at the same time they create many of their
own problems by clannishness, disrespect for established rules and
authority, and misbehavior in groups, all of which brings much
unfavorable attention upon them.
The school cannot completely control those great social and
racial tensions which impinge upon it from the outside. If conflict
attends attempted integration all along the line throughout the
nation, we cannot hope to escape from it entirely within our school
walls. However, we can take hope from our long tradition of success-
ful integration here and from the growing awareness of student leaders
of both races of the necessity to work out better racial relations
within the school than it is observed outside, and we can hope that
our efforts will carry over in the larger communities when this
generation graduates to adult citizenship.
Efforts to assimilate, accept, and integrate all diverse groups
into the school's curricular and extra-curricular program are being
re-doubled. Community agencies are assisting us in seeking to relieve
our colored and other less favored students of the inferiority feel-
ings and insecurities out of which misbehavior and unseemly conduct
often arises. Out Student Council spent much time this spring in
preliminary work upon a "Student Code" which they hope to effect next
school year. One of the topics most recurrent in their converstaions
was that of improving racial and other inter-group relations. Their
ideas upon the subject are sound and refreshingly mature. Those of us
who teach in, work in, and attend Galesburg Senior High School face
the school year of 1956-1957 with confidence and conviction that it
will see improvement in this important area of human relations.

Ross Taylor put on a masterclass of big hitting, scoring 81* to help the Royal Challengers Bangalore to a six-wicket victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders at Centurion.
With Bangalore needing 21 off the last 12 deliveries, Taylor smacked three sixes in the next five balls to effectively end the contest. The New Zealander got his runs in 33 balls, including seven fours and five sixes.
Kolkata have capitulated regularly throughout the tournament, but this has to be the most spectacular of the lot after they posted a very competitive 173.
Taylor's national captain Brendon McCullum was the fulcrum around which Kolkata's innings rotated, scoring a watchful (by T20 standards) 84* off 64 balls. Newcomer David Hussey cracked a valuable 43.
Bangalore got off to a steady start in pursuit of the target, openers Jacques Kallis and Jesse Ryder sharing a 58-run partnership before the former was dismissed for 32, caught brilliantly by McCullum at short cover. Ryder fell in the next over for 22 and Robin Uthappa followed soon thereafter.
With four overs to go Kolkata were in control with Bangalore needing 52 runs. Taylor played with freedom but was also aided by some wayward bowling, particularly from Ishant Sharma.
Taylor peppered the leg side boundary boards, regularly shuffling across his crease or clearing his left leg to give himself space to hit to mid-wicket.
His excellent innings keeps Bangalore in the race for a play-off place, while Kolkata slump to their 10th defeat in 11 matches.
Kolkata 173/4 - Brendon McCullum 84*, David Hussey 43.
Bangalore 176/4 - Ross Taylor 81*, Jacques Kallis 32.
Bangalore win by six wickets

Illegal aliens appear to have revitalized the economy of NE
by Ziks511 - 1/28/13 7:31 AM
Nebraska. They work the line at the Hormel plant.
"In the past twenty years, roughly 3,000 Hispanics have arrived in Fremont — an increase from 0.7 percent to nearly 12 percent of the total population. Latino immigrants have saved the economies of the towns of northeast Nebraska from ruin, but many older residents feel threatened by these new arrivals. Spots on the line at Hormel were once the most coveted jobs in the area, but now they are occupied largely by undocumented immigrants willing to work twice as fast for lower pay. The workers who got pushed aside, many of them second- or third-generation Hormel employees, are angry."
From a stub of an article, the full text available only to subscribers.
It is a tough conundrum, but it is also historically the American way. Immigrants, and now illegal immigrants, come in and work harder for less, at the same time pumping dollars into the economy. Who do you back? The immigrants revitalizing the economies of towns on the ropes, or the older workers who built the plants with their labour and whose children are being forced out by Hormel's hiring practices.
To redress the balance, Hormel would have to forgo large profits in order to pay legal employees, the employees would have to work harder at a job notable for on the job injuries, and the cost of food would rise. Like I said, it's a tough problem.
I've got no dog in this fight. I'm retired. I think Mexicans should get a much fairer shake, but I think the resident workers and their offspring should get a fair shake too.

UPDATE: 3:19 p.m. California authorities have lowered the death toll in tour bus crash from 8 to 7. More details to come.
YUCAIPA – A runaway bus careened down a mountain road without brakes and the driver called out to passengers to phone 911 before a violent crash with two other vehicles that killed eight people and injured dozens of others, a surviving passenger said Monday.
However, the pleas by the driver were futile because no one had cellphone reception in the rugged area, passenger Gerardo Barrientos, 28, told The Associated Press.
The bus was carrying a group from Tijuana and heading home from a snow trip in Big Bear when it crashed into a sedan and pickup around 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation.
Records showed the company that operated the bus had failed more than a third of federal vehicle safety inspections in the past two years.
The bus involved in the crash recorded 22 safety violations in about a year's time, including problems with brakes, the windshield and tires, according to inspection reports posted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Brake issues were noted in at least three inspections since October 2011.
Barrientos and girlfriend Lluvia Ramirez, who both work at a government hospital in Tijuana, spoke to the AP as they waited outside an emergency room at Loma Linda University Medical Center for word on a friend who suffered a broken neck.
Barrientos believed the bus reached speeds of 60 mph during the drive down the mountain that he estimated lasted five minutes before the collision.
"I saw many people dead. There are very, very horrendous images in my head, things I don't want to think about," he said.
Barrientos said he was uninjured and immediately began searching for Ramirez and the other friend, who were both ejected. After he moved them away from the bus to safety, he assisted the bus driver.
Ramirez suffered bruises and a hairline vertebra fracture.
"I was overwhelmed," she said. "I'm a surgical resident and I usually know how to react, but I was so in shock I didn't know what to do. I just stayed with my friend."
The crash left Highway 38 littered with debris, and the bus sideways across both lanes with its windows blown out, front end crushed and part of the roof peeled back like a tin can. The state Transportation Department website reported that the road was still closed at about 2:45 p.m.
The bus was going slowly down the hill and being passed by other vehicles when it suddenly sped up for an unknown reason, according to a person involved in the investigation who requested anonymity because the probe was ongoing.
The bus struck a Saturn sedan – one of the vehicles that had passed it – then spun and rolled, hitting the pickup, which was heading up the hill.
Smoke was coming from the back of the bus, witnesses said. The bus eventually struck something on the side of the road that righted it and it came to a stop.

|Introduction | Samsung NX20 sensor performance | Samsung NX20 versus competition | Conclusion
The Samsung NX20 is a very good camera; it is good value for money well specified and produces larger image files than anything that is directly comparable. If you want a camera that will capture pictures and share them quickly and easily then this could be one of the best possible choices you could make. However, if you want a 'system' with a range of lenses then you need to make sure that the lenses you want are available in the Samsung selection. It is also worth noting that for less money you could have the very good Nikon D3200 or for just a little more money the extraordinarily good D5200: with the huge range of lenses available for Nikon, both Nikon's own and independent manufacturers, plus the huge market for second hand lenses: this might be a better option.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
On a recent trip to Samsung's Seoul headquarters I got the opportunity to use the new NX20, and get a feel for how it performs. I only had a short time with a pre-production camera, but overall, my impressions of its handling and performance are very positive. Certainly, anyone who has used and liked the NX20's predecessor, the NX10, will find little to complain about in the new model, and much that is very familiar.

Fuji X-Trans sensors
I understand that they are outside your normal current system.
Still, it would be great if you could test these. PLUS you might benefit from looking outside the box - there must be a common ground to Bayer and X-Trans, and all other sensors, after all isn't human vision the final arbiter?

Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
If you are referring to the Fuji X cameras, you probably know that they do not use a Bayer matrix but a "X-Trans" matrix. We will try to test this sensor, but although we try to respond to your requests to provide tests for specific camera models, there are no plans for doing it in the short term.

An Inside Look at C-SPAN
MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 1995 4:00 p.m.
Washington D.C. may be on the other side of the country, but for the last six years C-SPAN and now C-SPAN 2 have brought 24-hour Congressional happenings into more than 60 million households across the nation. Predominantly recognized for its gavel-to-gavel coverage of Congress, C-SPAN and its two audio networks provide unique public affairs programming on a wide range of news and public policy issues. The Claremont McKenna College government department welcomes Brian P. Lamb, a founder and chief executive officer of C-SPAN, to the Athenaeum to discuss issues concerning this flagship television network that keeps an eagle eye on Capitol Hill. There will be a reception at 3:30 p.m. Lamb speaks at 4:00 p.m.
Leaving No Child Behind
Children must have at least one person who believes in them. It could be a counselor, a teacher, a preacher, a friend. It could he you. You never know when a little love, a little support, will plant a small seed of hope.
-Marian Wright Edelman, The Measure of Our Success
Marian Wright Edelman is one who believes and inspires others to believe in the greatest resource America will ever know: its children. Today's youth are tomorrow's leaders of families, communities, institutions, corporations, and our nation, yet every two hours gun violence takes the life of an American child. Over 13 million children live in poverty. Before the age of 20 many face pregnancy, arrest, or the consequences of dropping out of school. The Children's Defense Fund is a nonprofit organization founded by Edelman in 1973 that has represented America's children as a powerful advocate for Head Start in Congress and the White House, working to inspire grassroots campaigns to rebuild the foundations that support children in their homes and communities.
Moved by her father's wishes to continue her education and by the civil rights movement, Edelman pursued a degree in law at Yale Law School. She became the first black woman admitted to the bar in Mississippi. Upon opening a branch of the NAACP legal fund in Jackson, Mississippi, after graduation from Yale in 1964, she defended clients who had been beaten in jail, and she urged senators to visit Mississippi to witness for themselves the effects of poverty.
Throughout her childhood Edelman experienced segregation at the water fountains, at the movie theaters, watching inequalities and discrimination pervade her community. She has responded with action, determination, and, most important, hope for what she can do to make things better.
Lecturing from her bestselling book, The Measure of Our Success (1993), which explores problems that permeate our communities, and drawing on her experience, Marian Wright Edelman will help us to find ways to make sure we leave no child behind.
Edelman's address is sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and the Office of the Chaplains, and it is the first event of the Community Service Awareness Week. Dinner reservations are available only for students, faculty, and staff from CMC; the lecture at 6:45 p.m. in McKenna Auditorium is open to all without prior reservation.
The Resurgence of the Confucian Ethic in Modern East Asia
According to T. R. Reid, many leaders in East Asia are returning to a Confucian ethic-a family-centered society that, in their opinion, is inherently better socially, economically, and politically than Western counterparts. Reid, The Washington Post's Far East bureau chief, will address how ideological changes will affect Clinton's Asian policy. Through his coverage of Japan and East Asia for The Washington Post, his syndicated column, and his lighthearted commentaries on National Public Radio's Morning Edition, Reid is one of our best known correspondents.
Reid took a circuitous path to his career in journalism. He majored in classics at Princeton University, then worked as a teacher of Latin and Greek. He spent five years in the U.S. Navy as an officer on the staff of H. G. Rickover at the headquarters of the Navy's nuclear fleet. Returning to education, Reid worked as a university professor in southern Japan, then once again became a student-this time to study law-followed by a year's work as an attorney.
It wasn't until 1977 that Reid joined The Washington Post to cover Congress and national politics, including three presidential campaigns. For five years Reid was the Post's Rocky Mountain bureau chief in Denver. He decided to take advantage of his Japanese experiences by moving to Tokyo in 1990 to head the Far East bureau.
Along with ABC-TV correspondent Brit Hume, Reid writes a weekly personal computer column, syndicated to more than 60 newspapers around the country. In addition to his journalistic endeavors, Reid has written three books in English and two in Japanese. In conjunction with his wife, Margaret M. McMahon, Reid wrote a book exploring yet another subject beyond journalism and the classics: Ski Japan! The Guide to Japan World Class Ski Resorts (1994), which was released last fall.
Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration
To commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day the Athenaeum proudly hosts Dr. Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the United States Civil Rights Commission.
Recently named one of "America's Women of the Century" by the Women's Hall of Fame, Berry has created a distinguished personal history of public service in the areas of civil rights, apartheid, women's rights, racism, and black history. Berry has served on the Civil Rights Commission since 1980, and she earned significant public attention for her outspoken criticism of President Reagan's civil rights policies, for which she was fired in 1983. She promptly sued, won, and was reinstated by a Federal District Court and reappointed by Congress.
Berry is the Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously, she has held positions at the University of Michigan, the University of Colorado, and Howard University. Her published works on constitutional history and civil rights law include Black Resistance, White Law: A History of Constitutional Racism in America (1971) and Policy: Black Citizenship and the Constitution 1861-1868 (1977).
Berry's outstanding scholarly work and public service have earned her 20 honorary degrees and numerous awards. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet one of America's most honored civil rights leaders and join in the celebration of the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. This address by Mary Frances Berry is sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and the Office of Black Student Affairs.
Celebrating Mozart's Birthday
ALICE SCHOENFELD, violin
ELEONORE SCHOENFELD, violoncello
JUNE LUSK NELSON, piano
The birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on January 27, 1756, provides the occasion for a concert of chamber music performed by three of Southern California's most distinguished musicians.
Alice Schoenfeld and Eleonore Schoenfeld, each a virtuoso in her own right, have combined their artistry in a violin/cello duo that is unique in its musical rapport, technical mastery, and diversity of its repertoire. Their concerts have taken them throughout the United States, Europe, Canada, the Far East, and Australia, where they have given recitals and performed as soloists with leading philharmonic and radio orchestras. During their 48 European concert tours the Schoenfelds have made over 250 recordings of solo and chamber music literature for the major radio stations in Europe. In the United States the duo has recorded for Everest records and Orion Master Recordings.
The University of Southern California awarded the prestigious "Outstanding Teacher of the Year" RAMO Faculty Award to Eleonore Schoenfeld in 1990 and to Alice Schoenfeld in 1991. Their students can be found as concert artists worldwide, in major orchestras, and on the faculties of the finest music schools.
Pianist June Lusk Nelson is professor of music at El Camino College, where she received the "Outstanding Service Award" in 1991. She coordinates the applied music program and teaches piano at El Camino College. She appears regularly as a soloist, with orchestra, and as a chamber musician locally, in Canada, and in Europe.
The Schoenfeld Duo and June Lusk Nelson will perform Mozart's Concerto in D major, KV 218, for violin and piano (1775); Beethoven's Seven Variations for Piano and Cello based on a theme by Mozart (1791); and Trio in C Major for Piano, Violin, and Cello, KV 548, by Mozart (1788).
This program is the third of four concerts in the Stotsenberg Chamber Music Series, funded by a gift from Dorothy and Ed Stotsenberg, friends of CMC. The concert grand piano is provided courtesy of Yamaha Corporation of America.
The Athenaeum is an ideal setting for chamber music, and you are welcome to join us for an evening of good food and beautiful music.
Should the Federal Government Continue to Fund Public Broadcasting?
Is there a liberal bias to the media? What is the future of the media in American society in light of the historic role of the "fourth estate"? Should there be federal funding for public (noncommercial) broadcasting? "Friendly adversaries" Brent Bozell and Sanford Ungar approach this discussion from opposing ideologies. Bozell makes the claim that the liberal bias in the media needs to be exposed and corrected, whereas Ungar maintains that the media saves democracy from totalitarianism. L. Brent Bozell is the founder and chairman of the Media Research Center in Alexandria, Virginia, and executive director of the Conservative Victory Committee. The MRC boasts a sophisticated research operation, compiled to document and expose liberal bias in the media. All network news programs, and most prime-time entertainment shows, are taped, analyzed, and stored in the MRC archives. Bozell has been chairman of the board and president of the National Conservative Political Action Committee and served as the national finance chairman for Pat Buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign. He is a nationally syndicated author, published in The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, and National Review.
Bozell has also appeared on nationally syndicated television and radio shows such as CNN's Crossfire, Larry King Live, Nightline, and Headline News.
Sanford J. Ungar is dean of the School of Communication at American' University in Washington D.C. His career in print and broadcast journalism spans more than two decades. Ungar has been the host of All Things Considered on National Public Radio and has hosted "The CBS News Night Watch." He has been Washington editor of The Atlantic, managing editor of Foreign Policy magazine, a staff writer for The Washington Post, and a regular contributor to The Economist. He was a correspondent for United Press International in Paris and for Newsweek in Nairobi. Ungar's book, The Papers & the Papers: An Account of the Legal and Political Battle Over the Pentagon Papers (1972), won the George Polk Award in 1973. Other books include the bestseller Africa: The People and Politics of an Emerging Continent (1985), Estrangement: America and the World (1985), and FBI: An Uncensored Look Behind the Walls (1976), Ungar's recently completed book We Call Ourselves American: The New Immigrants is scheduled to be released by Simon & Schuster in 1995.
This is an opportunity to hear widely divergent points of view articulated by experienced professionals. Come prepared with questions and arguments of your own in order to participate in what is likely to be a lively debate.
Black History Is Your History
January 1995, marks the beginning of the United Nations International Year of Tolerance. As we also move into Black History Month it is quite appropriate that Kathleen D. Saadat should introduce the month by speaking on the importance of acknowledging and accepting our common history as ways to help mend the many torn places in the fabric of our communities and our country. She will explore the very real limits placed upon all of us by intolerance and the greater implications of those limits as we try to survive as a country participating in the global economy. Saadat will discuss ways to remove some of the barriers that divide us and invite us to challenge ourselves on the personal level as part of the process of tolerance and acceptance.
Kathleen Saadat graduated from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, with a degree in psychology. She held the position of executive director of the Oregon State Commission on Black Affairs immediately prior to her appointment as Oregon State Director of Affirmative Action by former Governor Nell Goldschmidt in 1987. An activist and frequent public speaker, Saadat has been recognized by various organizations in Oregon and the Northwest. She received the Bayard Rustin Civil Rights Award (1992), the Civil Liberties Award from the Oregon chapter of the ACLU (1994), and was named one of "100 Who Lead in Oregon" by the Oregon Business Magazine (1993). The latter award was made primarily because of her work in opposition to Measure 9, Oregon's 1992 antigay initiative.
Kathleen Saadat's talk is sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and the Office of Black Student Affairs. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.
Year of the Boar
February first marks the first day of the lunar year, a tradition celebrated by various Asian peoples including the Chinese. The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum will be hosting its third annual dinner and program to commemorate this important Asian holiday.
The Chinese Zodiac consists of a twelve-year cycle, each year of which is named after a different animal that imparts distinct characteristics to its year. Persons born during the year of the Boar are noble and chivalrous; possess tremendous fortitude and inner strength; are short tempered yet avoid arguments; are well informed and studious yet not deep thinkers; tend to be impulsive and honest. If you are a Boar Year person, avoid marrying another Boar!
Chefs David and Sid are preparing special Chinese New Year foods. The Athenaeum will be decorated with red signs depicting prosperity and good luck and there will be firecrackers to expel the evil spirits.
A group from the San Gabriel Valley Chinese Cultural Association (SGVCCA) will perform traditional music and dance, including the Lion and Dragon Dances. SGVCCA, organized in 1968 to encourage and promote the enrichment of the Chinese language and culture, operates a school with an extensive program in the instruction of Mandarin and Cantonese dialects, history, geography, and the traditional arts.
Because of the popularity of this event, dinner reservations are available only to students, faculty, and staff from CMC. The program which begins at 6:45 p.m. is open to all without prior reservation.
The Silence of the Liberals: The Need for an Alternative Interpretation of American Spiritual Culture
William Dean is a unique American philosopher and public intellectual. Since the years when he was Paul Tillich's assistant, he has examined the interaction between religion and culture in American public life. His most recent book, The Religious Critic in American Culture (1994), outlines a specifically American strand of religious and philosophical thinking that has arisen out of the death of the myth of America. In his investigations, Dean has tracked moral and cultural degeneration through modern America; along this path he notes skepticism about a common American culture, the fragmentation of defining traditions and living communities, and the demise of American public intellectuals.
Dean is professor of religion at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. Currently, he is chair of the philosophy of religions section of the American Academy of Religion and vice president of the Highlands Institute for American Religious Thought. In addition to The Religious Critic in American Culture, Dean has authored American Religious Empiricism (1988) and History Making History: The New Historicism in American Religious Thought (1989).
Dean's insistence that cultural and social criticisms of American society need to be accompanied by examinations of religious predicaments finds its roots in his studies at the University of Chicago's Divinity School, where he received his Ph.D. William Dean is one of America's leading intellectuals, and his ideas are on the cutting edge of American social criticism. The Athenaeum invites all to take part in this timely and provocative examination of the American dream.
The first Open Forum Lunch of the semester will be held on Wednesday, January 25. You will have the opportunity to learn about the community service internship program at CMC. No need to sign up ahead, just drop by the Athenaeum at noon.

In a time where remakes of movies are coming out constantly and every thing is starting to look the same, it is always refreshing to see something that stands alone.
As a sportswriter, I encounter team nicknames everyday in my job. Sometimes the task of finding nicknames becomes monotonous as there are multiple Patriots and Bulldogs, just to name a few, that seem to pop up all around the high school ranks. Even in professional sports, nicknames cross over league lines. I am not saying that these "generic" nicknames are bad, I am just saying there can be too much of a good thing. But when I see a nickname that is refreshing, it sticks with me and I always remember it because of the "shock value" and uniqueness of the name.
For example, in the recent months, New Orleans Hornets' owner Tom Benson has decided to scrap the Hornets nickname for something more relatable to the home town of the team. The huge media hoopla and comedic remarks made in regards to the name change seem childish and somewhat moronic as the new mascot reflects the city of New Orleans along with the state of Louisiana. Benson and his staff at the NBA affiliated team will now be known as the Pelicans following the close of the 2012-2013 campaign.
New Orleans is home to great sport nicknames and as a life-long Saints fan can tell you they all make sense with the Big Easy. From the Saints in the National Football League and the New Orleans Voodoo in the Arena Football League, the mascots all have a tie to the city. And after a lot of speculation surrounding the possible move out of New Orleans for the Hornets, getting a nickname which reflects the location of the team was a great decision to put roots into the market. The change to the Pelicans makes me want to adopt the New Orleans NBA franchise as my team to pull for in the professional basketball scene because of their boldness and creative juices that were flowing. Even though the Pelican does not strike much fear into the hearts of opponents, it is still a great represented of everything Louisiana and New Orleans.
Using the New Orleans Pelicans as a mild taste of wackiness, I introduce the Great American Conference (GAC). An NCAA Division II athletic conference, the GAC began very recently as institutions of higher learning in Arkansas and Oklahoma split from the Gulf South Conference and the Lone Star Conference. The joining of these eleven members seems almost perfect as the team mascots are more memorable than the college or university they represent. Some highlights include the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys and Golden Suns, the University of Arkansas at Monticello Boll Weevils and Cotton Blossoms, and the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savage Storm. It just seems like the pure bizarreness of the nicknames brought all eleven colleges and universities together to form this conference.
I know that I probably have not hit on every bizarre or wacky nickname, but I just really love a unique mascot. It displays either the culture of a school or city and can be a homage to something great locally. All in all, nicknames no matter how "normal" or "wacky" can be a great rallying cry for any team, fan base, and community.

For glowing skin all winter
Fans of Angels on Bare Skin will love this holiday take on our best-selling classic face and body cleanser. Lovely on all skin types, Bûche de Noël is the cleanser that's good enough to eat (but we don't recommend it!). Named for the French dessert, ours is loaded with fresh ingredients for glowing skin: ground almonds gently exfoliate away rough skin while softening almond oil and nutrient-rich seaweed hydrate and nourish. Fresh Satsuma oranges brighten up dull complexions and we've snuck in a shot of brandy to cleanse and tone. Wash up with this Christmas-y cleanser for luminous skin all winter long!
- Hot toddy: We add a splash of brandy to warm up skin (and keep spirits bright) on cold wintery days.
- Fresh faced: Tired complexions get a radiance boost from brightening Satsuma oranges.
- Scrub-a-dub-dub: Scrub your whole body with gently exfoliating ground almonds.

Q:Can I freeze this? Angels on Bare Skin is just not the same for me, Buche is my favorite product I've ever used on my face in my whole life, and I want it year-round. I would happily buy 3 or 4 every year if I could freeze them to use throughout the year! Or better yet, can you please just make this a permanent item? :)Asked on 10/15/2012 by ilovegiraffes from Denver
1 answer
A:We don't recommend freezing any of the products, as this will not extend the shelf-life, but it may eliminate some of the effectiveness of the ingredients. Unfortunately, there aren't any plans for Buche de Noel to return for the rest of the year, as it was created to be a once a year treat.Answered on 11/2/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:Does this product expire? i absolutely love this product, but I'm super sad that y'all only offer it during the winter season. If I stock up on this product to last me at least until july or so, is it going to go bad? Just wondering! I just started using lush products and am officially obsessed with them.
THanks for your help!Asked on 1/8/2012 by Ay Hay Hay from Fort Worth, TX
1 answer
A:Since we use so many fresh and active ingredients, we can only guarantee the effectiveness of our products expiry date shown on the pot. For Bûche de Noël, it has a shelf life of approximately three months. During the rest of the year, I'd recommend trying the Angels on Bare Skin cleanser, as it is meant for similar skin needs, and is made with some of the same ingredients.Answered on 1/12/2012 by Megan from LUSH

Passenger Horror Stories:
[Editor's note: This story is excerpted from Brian Peters' award-winning blog: NoDebtWorldTravel.com]
In a previous post I talked about a flight from Tokyo to Paris where someone stole over $5000 worth of cash and valuables from other passengers WHILE IN THE AIR. I was incredulous that could happen, so I asked for other stories of in-flight theft.
My findings in summary: Hide your stuff! Just because you're in the air doesn't mean you can drop your guard and leave your cash and valuables lying about.
Don't depend on a flight attendant to look out for your belongings. Act the same way you would if you were in any other form of public transportation, or a movie theater or at a beach or park. Below are some additional in-flight horror stories, that prove you never can be too careful!
From Paula:
I tucked my bag under the seat in front for takeoff, and once we reached cruising altitude I pulled my bag out, leaned down, pulled out the change purse that had my money in it- not a big wallet, more like a small coin purse, that had a roll of bills inside.
I counted out a few singles for the drink service, tucked them back inside the coin purse folded up separately and ready to give the flight attendant, with the rest of the bills (some loose 5s, 10s, 20s and a few hundreds folded on the inside of the stack) folded next to the singles.
I closed up my bag, got up to use the toilet...came back, sat down, got a weird vibe because the girl in the window seat seemed a bit uneasy, but she was kinda odd (read: unwashed and crazy eyed) so I let it pass.
Drink service came around and I reached down to pull out the bills... nothing. Empty coin purse. Just some loose change in the bottom.
I had already ordered my drink, so as the flight attendant put down my cup of wine I stammered that I did have money, but it seemed to have disappeared when I went to the bathroom, all of it, and now I had no cash at all, and I looked at the girl next to me and realized as she shifted uneasily in her seat and looked out her window that while I was certain she had taken it but I couldn't prove it.
The flight attendant got the gist and gave me the wine for free, and I got to ride the rest of the way knowing somebody was dining on my dollar that evening.
But what can you do? Can't bring your purse to the toilet with you... ditto Amtrak fyi. It's so awkward, I always make sure I'm not in the toilet between stations when someone could grab my bags and get off the train.
Lesson Learned: Cash, wallet, passport should be on your person, not in a bag under your seat.
Especially when someone looks as sketchy as the window seat gal did.
From Amy:
Lesson Learned: Ladies, your pocketbook should be with you at all times.
If you need to sleep, wedge it in the seat with you, but out of view of the flight attendants who might tell you to put it away.
If it won't fit then it should be in the magazine holder in the seat in front of you. But don't forget it there!
From Marjorie:
Lesson Learned: Ideally that $2000 should have been in his wallet or in an envelope in his pocket. If you're by yourself, ask someone to keep an eye on your things. It does not guarantee anything, but it is better than have no pair of eyes on your things.
Unless the person who is looking after your stuff is the thief...
Anyway, since I was one of the last on the aircraft, I was very lucky to be able to store my small carry-on and neatly folded Sport coat. As a frequent flyer, I usually stand a good part of the flight because I find the seats rather uncomfortable. I'm the guy who always wanders around on the flight.
Once on the ground, when our row stood to deplane, we opened the overhead and the coat was gone. Nobody noticed and nobody cared. The NW gate agents were focused on turning the plane around and the lost baggage folks couldn't have cared less.
Lesson learned: Never take your eyes off your valuables…especially at night.
Lesson Learned: Keep your travel neck pillow close at hand. They are like gold for travelers...
When do you think your items were taken? While you were sleeping? In the bathroom?
What was taken? How much did you lose?
Do you have any idea who did it? Someone in your row? Flight attendant?
When did you discover the items missing?
Did you report it at all?
What could you have done differently to prevent the theft from happening?

Comments about Lazy Susan Table Organizer:
I ordered the Apple Lazy Susan as it's Apple design matched my Apple Kitchen. It is very attractive and made of sturdy wood. It was just very hard to put together as the holes in the pegs didn't go far enough into the peg for the screws to go all the way through and hold tightly. As a result the pegs were wiggly. My husband found a small and very fine drill bit and drilled the holes a little deeper into the pegs and then the screws went all the way in and corrected the problem and now it works perfectly ! I would recommend this to anyone who loves the apple design and who is willing to struggle a little to get it together.

As many of you know, last weekend the ASPCA and responders from The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) removed more than 360 dogs from dog fighting properties in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. Many are emaciated, with scars and wounds consistent with dog fighting. They're spending their first days learning what it's like to receive adequate care.
The dogs and puppies are safe now. They'll never suffer in extreme heat without access to water. They'll never be chained to cinder blocks and car tires again. And they'll never be forced to fight.
Right now, the ASPCA is providing shelter, veterinary care, healthy food and much-needed attention and affection to hundreds of dogs and puppies. Our work is far from over. It's a massive undertaking that will require months of food and supplies and man hours to ensure these dogs get the best possible care. Veterinary professionals, behavior professionals and so many others will be involved.
Please take a moment to watch and share our rescue video. You'll see some of the dogs we rescued, as well as the real conditions these dogs were forced to endure.
Stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue. If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA.
Angels come in all forms. By saving these unfortunate animals, you have become their angels and my hero. Thank you.
For those who were in charge of these animals, shame on you!!! There is no punishment that can be given to equal the cruelty which you have bestowed on these helpless animals.
Go ASPCA! Thank You!
I think what was done to those dogs & puppies should be done to those who did it to them... every bit of cruelty inflicted, every inhumane act. Maybe this would stop then. Coining a phrase I heard once... people involved in this type of activity are "Lower than Pond Scum".
Seeing the guy from behind - carrying 2 puppies with their tails wagging wildly - convinced me (again) to make a donation. Thank you for all you do.
I would love to do such fulfilling work as you do - just brings tears to my eyes to see those happy butts wiggling from a gentle hand and a kind word ... pure evil that makes these wonderful beings suffer. Hope and pray for an end to this disgraceful practice...
I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You do the best thing for animals. I love watching the videos. they make me smile and cry(in a happy way) evrey single video.
Thank you so much for your great caring and your kindness to these poor animals, the people that do this to these poor animals, should be treated the same way the treat the dogs. Jail is too good for them, they will be fed and have a roof over their head, these poor dogs did not have that, they deserve to feel what they feel. Please always keep up the great work you all do. God bless you and God bless those poor defenseless animals.
I wish my financial situation allowed for me to give as this is an extremely important cause!!!!! Keep up the great work as I will keep the prayers coming! God bless you all and anyone who helps get these animals out of these horrific situations!!!
Thank you for saving these wonderful dogs! thank you for all you do!
Thanks to everyone who participated in this job well done and may God bless each and everyone of you. There is a beautiful place waiting for you all in Heaven!
There is a dark place in HELL reserved for these type of people with no hearts that treat innocent dogs this way. May all the dogs saved be well and find loving homes. THank you the nderful ASPCA, they are fantastic people to do what they do.
