Chrismon Quartet lines up for "schmaltzy" prestentation at
Commodore Hotel Friday night. More mellow tones will make up their
repertoire at the Seminary Banquet the following night.

Tri -Seminary Course Discusses
Contemporary Morality Revolution
Banquet Plans Near Completion
Classes Arrange Local Talent
The Freshman-Sophomore "Sounds of Spring"
banquet is scheduled for May 7 at 6:30 p.m. in the
University Room of the Hotel St. Paul. The dress
is semi-formal, party dresses and dark suits in order.
Tickets are $5.00 per couple and are being sold
in the coffee shop Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
preceding the banquet.
Kent Lundholm, who traveled with the Norman
Luboff Choir last year, will provide the musical
entertainment. Lundholm said he plans a half-secu-lar,
half-sacred program. On the secular side stu-dents
will hear "Till There was You" and selections
from the "Music Man."
Additional entertainment is planned to provide
"special surprises and laughs." Rick Welch will add
to the variety program by reading poetry. Mr. James
Jordon, Instructor in Greek and History, is the master
of ceremonies.
The presentation of a special award is planned,
but neither the purpose nor the recipient have been
Dawson McAllister, committee chairman of the
Freshman-Sophomore Banquet, said the banquet is
a "nice social event, sort of a Senior Prom 'Bethel-ized'."
The committee is expecting a successful
evening with a turnout of approximately sixty cou-ples.
The May 7 Junior-Senior Spring Banquet is in
the final stages of planning. This year's banquet
theme is "Royal Projections." The semi-formal affair
will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Banquet Room of the
Commodore Hotel in St. Paul.
The cost of the banquet is $6.50 per couple.
Tickets are being sold by personal contact until
Wednesday, May 5. Then, for the late deciders,
banquet tickets will be available on Thursday, May
6, at the booth in the coffee shop.
In that the banquet is given by the junior class
in honor of the graduating seniors, a brief history
of the senior class is programmed. There is a por-tion
of the program which is not disclosable, but
a few not so royal hee-haws are "projected."
The Bethel Chrismon Quartet is providing the
musical entertainment. Members of the quartet are
John Halvorsen, Al Hawker, Stan Olsen and Dennis
Port. Their selections will range from "schmaltzy"
springtime pop tunes to sacred music at the close
of the program.
According to Sally Mattson, the planning com-mittee
decided against outside talent to perform
at the banquet. "We wished to make it a Bethel
production and are able to do so because there is
sufficient local talent on campus," she said.
Since it has been customary in
the past to bring in outside per-formers,
Miss Mattson indicated
some students may feel "du-bious"
about a "Bethel produc-tion."
Republican Club
Elects Officers
Thursday Night
Election of officers for t h e
Bethel Young Republicans club is
slated for tomorrow night, May 6.
The first of several YGOP activi-ties
scheduled for this month, it
will take place at 7:00 p.m. in
room 106 of the college building.
A brief business meeting will
precede elections. To be discussed
are a few constitutional amend-ments
and the creation of a new
post, state liaison. This position
would involve handling correspon-dence
with the Republican State
Central Committee and coordina-ting
club efforts in the Minnesota
Federation of College Republican
Club's activities.
Current president Gene Peter-son
cited the club's increasing in-volvement
in MFCRC activities as
a major factor necessitating the
establishment of the new post. "It
will help take some of the pressure
off the president, freeing him to
concentrate on club projects," sta-ted
the junior math major.
Positions to be filled include
president, vice president, secre-tary,
treasurer and the proposed
state liaison. Those who have not
already filed their declarations of
intent should do so tonight with
club secretary Barbara R.usche.
The club has planned several
activities in conjunction with the
other Young Republican clubs in
the twin cities area. Block working
for candidates in the Minneapolis
aldermanic races will receive con-centrated
attention. A car wash
on Saturday, May 8, and a barbe-que
on May 14, are two projects
planned to raise funds for finan-cing
campaign endeavors.
The MINNEAPOLIS CHORAL
SOCIETY will present its Annual
Spring Concert at the First Bap,
tist Church of Minneapolis on May
15, 1965, at 8:00 p.m.
The MINNEAPOLIS CHORAL
SOCIETY is a group of accomplish-ed
singers, from many churches in
the Twin Cities area, who have
joined together out of a common,
interest in presenting a high level
of sacred music to the public. In-cluded
in the group are choir
directors and many church soloists.
The Society was formed in 1963
and is presenting its second an-nual
concert this spring.
Some of the composers of the
concert music are: Randall Thomp,
In the present quarter Bethel
Seminary is participating in a new
experiment in education in the,
Interseminary Social Ethics Sem-inar.
Theological professors from
three seminaries, Bethel, United
(United Church of Christ), and Lu-ther
(American Lutheran) arrang-ed
the course with the approval
of their respective faculties.
They view the course as an
opportunity to investigate c o n -
temporary ethical problems from
the viewpoint of the traditions
represented, as well as to provide
a situation of interchange between
those involved.
The nine week course meets
alternately at each of the schools
and is taken as two hours course
credit by each student. Profes-sors
Clarence Bass, Bethel, James
Burtness, Luther, and James Nel-son,
United each fill the initial
lecture hour and lead the dis-cussions
of books in the second
In addition to the limit of five
students from each of these
schools, there are additional rep-resentatives
from Northwestern
Theological Seminary, as well as
son, Vaughn Williams, Flor Pee-ters,
Christianson and Berger.
The Society's conductor, Mr.
Bruce H. Leafblad, graduated with
a Bachelor's degree in music from
Bethel College of St. Paul and is
now the Music Director of the
Central Free Church of Minneapo-lis
while attending Bethel Theo-logical
Seminary. Mr. Leafblad is
the composer of one of the num-bers
for the concert and the ar-ranger
of several others.
Tickets may be obtained at the
Bethel Bookstore and the Dayton's
and Field-Schlick ticket offices
or at the door before the concert.
t w o recently graduated parish
priests from the St. Paul Roman
Catholic diocese.
The theme of the course this
quarter is "The Christian Faith
and the New Morality." In a socio-logical
sense the new morality
refers to the contemporary revolu-tion
in morality appearing in a
variety of manifestations. B u t ,
while this revolution is in mind
as an object of concern and study,
the course is actually concerned
to investigate the theological sense
of the phrase.
The new morality from the
Theological viewpoint is that
change from the more traditional
absolutist ethics to a modern
situational or contextual ethics

The committee's decision is sup-ported
by the comments of Mr.
Julius Whittinger, chairman of the
Music Department. "There is ex-ceptional
musical talent at Bethel
this year, and the male quartet
has a fine quartet sound. They
were chosen to tour the United
States this summer because of
their quality."
The Chrismon's first recording
is now being pressed under the
Christian Dynamics label.
Office Arranges
Student Housing
The Student Services office is
already busy arranging housing
for next year's students. Any stu-dents
who are looking for a place
to live next year are urged to pick
up their applications for student
housing immediately. They m a y
get these in the Student Services
There will be an attempt next
year to have m o r e upperclass

Housing at Bethel Manor or the
Honor House is open to selected
juniors and seniors. The school
is presently considering getting
one or two more honor houses for
off-campus housing. Whether these
will be open to boys or girls is
not yet certain.
Those students who wish to
live off-campus in private homes
or apartments will get a list of
approved housing during the sum-mer.
Off-campus housing must be
approved by the school. About 70
girls and 150 boys are expected to
live off campus next year.
Summer housing is also avail-able
through Bethel to interested
students. Both Bethel Manor and
Honor House will be open for sum-mer
residents. There are no class
restrictions for summer housing.
Applications for this housing
should be picked up immediately
in the Business Office.

Sophomores Evaluate
Collegiate Atmosphere
Each spring the coming of fine weather seems to generate
a new wave of student planning and enthusiasm: picnics,
bicycle rides and water sports during the spring, summer jobs
or traveling, and academic projections for the fall. At Bethel,
and many small denominational colleges like her around the
country, spring brings serious thought by the sophomore class
on the advantages and disadvantages of transferring to a larger
school, a state school, a cheaper school, a more strictly secular
school, or a more specialized school.
Sophomore concern at Bethel runs along at least two basic
concerns: the atmosphere for creative thought on the campus
and the academic and social reputation of this college vis-a-vis
almost any other.
Any educational institution is perpetually faced with the
risks of truly educating its students: It is impelled by its own
intellectual integrity to conscientiously present all approaches
to truth. The knack is motivating the students to diligence in
their pursuit of truth through several disciplines. This task
is much easier when the students are convinced A PRIORI
that the search is possible, worthwhile, and likely to be well
The claim of several of the departing students is that
Bethel gives verbal credence to such search but in fact provides
no such atmosphere: "I see things I want to change, but can't.
You keep so many of your ideas inside of yourself—this is
not good. It is understood that there are certain things you
just don't say."
It is the privilege, opportunity and raison d'etre of any
educational institution to emphasize what it considers worth-while
from the past: social patterns, religious institutions, or
philosophical viewpoints.
The key is not merely to provide these, but to provide
them in an atmosphere which encourages academic and social
integrity. Towards this many of the comments of dissatisfied
or departing Bethel students are well worth heeding: in-creased
catholicity with other colleges and universities, a
more polyglot composition of the student body, re-evaluation
of the present method of institutional financing and most
of all, more freedom to disagree on certain matters without
becoming suspect.
John Milton's words still ring true today:
A man may be a heretick in the truth; and if he
believe things only because his Pastor says so,
or the Assembly so determines, without knowing
any other reason, though his belief be true, yet
the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

Sophomore Relates Experiences as
Spring Break Legislative 'Shadow'
Rolvaag Knocks Conservatives
DFL Gov. Karl Rolvaag accused
the Conservative majority in the
Minnesota House of "reprehensi-ble"
action on the issues of re-apportionment
and civil rights. He
said that the house leadership
which is handling civil rights legis-lation,
"produces only cynical in-action."
Gamel Abdel Nasser
Nasser said the United States
was trying to exert economic pres-sure
on Egypt, and accused Tuni-sia's
President Habib Bourguiba of
being a supporter of "Zionism and
imperialism" for advocating peace-ful
coexistence with Israel.
Pakistan, India Border Crisis
Pakistan President Ayub Khan
told India he was ready for
peace talks or total war over
the disputed border of the Rann
of Kutch.
New Third Party
The Congress of Conservatives
ended a three-day meeting in
Chicago Saturday, with a pledge
"to participate in the formation
of a national anti-Communist par-ty."
Among the new party doctrine
would be clauses for a break
in relations with Russia and the
east European satellites.
Criticizes Clergy
Harold J. Belgum, a leading Min-neapolis
churchman, accuses min-isters
of being unaware of how
the poor are treated. In answer to
why the Church has so little con-nection
with the poor, he says,
"It hurts the poor to be with
others who are not damaged.
The contrast is too great. The
forgiveness in Christ that church
members extend is too micro-scopic."
Dominican Crisis
The Soviet Union failed to get
an immediate meeting of the U.N.
Security Council on U.S. military
landings in the Dominican Repub-lic,
as the U.S. sent another 2000
troops to that Caribbean state,
bringing the total to near 5000.
To the Editor:
The latest maneuver in what
seems to be something more than
a cold war being waged by the
cooks against the students is for
the doors that provide access to
the daily repasts to be closed
promptly, if not BEFORE closing
Such efficient barring of the
door is usually preceded by the
appearance of a guard two min-utes
before closing time. This
guard valiantly staves off the on-slaught
of the two or three stu-dents
who by some quirk of fate
are unfortunate enough to arrive
during that "no man's time" of
thirty seconds before and thirty
seconds after closing time.
On Tuesday, April 13, 1964,
four innocent students appeared
for breakfast just as the guard
was closing the door and they
were not allowed to have their
meal. One fellow managed to
get his foot in the door before
it closed only to have it forced
out by the guard.
The odd thing in all of this is
that the dining hall clock read
just a little less than a minute
before eight o'clock.
The ridiculous turned to the ab-surd
as the guard proceded to let

Along with nineteen other col-lege
students from fifteen schools
in Minnesota, Barbara Rusche,
sophomore political science major,
spent three days during Spring
break participating in the Legis-lative
Internship Program at the
State Capitol sponsored by the
Minnesota Council for Education
in Politics.
Dr. Charles Backstrom, Univer-sity
of Minnesota professor and
director of the council, introduced
the program to the students select-ed
for participation at a Tuesday
night dinner, April 20th, and gave
them the only instructions for
the session: "Be aggressive to the
point of being obnoxious." In ex-pressing
his hopes for the trial
run of the internship program, he
encouraged the collegians to in-vestigate
the power structure of
both the House and Senate.
"I had almost expected a prop-aganda
session, emphasizing the
importance and merits of legis-lators,
to counteract recent bad
publicity about state legislatures,
but there was none. We were
free to discover what we could
and drew our own conclusions
about legislative process," Bar-bara
commented in a discussion
of her experience.

Democrats, 'shadowed' a legislator,

the two houses. The Senate had a
definite air of decorum which the
House lacked. The Senate pro-ceeds
more slowly and with a less
boisterous approach. It also oper-ates
more strictly concerning sen-iority."
The interns met with several
executive officials, among them
Governor Karl Rolvaag, Lieuten-ant
Governor A. M. Keith, and
state treasurer V a I Bjornson,
getting another perspective on
state problems and government.
Attorney General Mattson and
State Supreme Court Justice
James Otis shed light on the
judicial branch.
"Some of the most helpful ses-sions,"
Barbara felt, "were the in-formal
discussions arranged by one
of the interns who does volunteer
research work for several Republi-can
legislators. One night, together
with Bob Stassen, Bethel alumnus
and Republican coordinator for the
internship, and a few 'party- or-iented'
legislators, we hashed over
topics ranging from party designa-tion
to the problems and prospects
of the Republican party." She ad-ded,

noticed frequent rural-urban
splits and interestingly, lawyer-non-
lawyer splits. One legislator,
commenting on the rural-urban
split, stated that almost anyone
who has any connection, however
slight, with rural communities
(even if he only visited his grand-parents
on the farm as a boy) can
and does use it to his benefit.
Commenting further on the is-sue
of party designation, Barbara
mentioned a "vagueness in some
legislators' answers concerning
their opposition to it." Freedom
from party directives or con-trol
was cited as a major reason
for maintaining the status quo.
However, she noted that caucus
discipline does exist. This is evi-denced
by the fact that almost
every bill brought to the floor
and recommended for passage by
the committee does pass. Being
in the majority, the Conservatives
hold the balance of power in each
committee. Barbara stated that,
"Fear of losing an office seems
to be at the root of much of the
opposition to party designation."
Barbara felt that the internship

A synthesis of scholarship and devotion; this is the goal of Bethel
education. A person in whom faith and intellect, piety and perception
are merged; this is our desired graduate. No doubt we have all at
least tacitly agreed on this ideal.
We have vaguely set about to achieve it. But lest our journey
toward this goal prove ill-fated, let us examine our willingness to pay
the price to reach it. Let us count the cost. Two questions, I think, will
test our thinking at this point.
First, are we willing to let our understanding of the Christian faith
be changed by the honest demands of intellectual discovery? Often
we avoid a fair answer to this question by responding, "Yes, I always
desire my Christian understanding to be DEEPENED." Deepened? Yes,
this is a proper goal. But, will we allow this deepening to include
Science, both natural and social, and the humanities are pushing
back the horizons of human knowledge. Many areas are being touched
upon which directly or obliquely encounter our understanding of the
Christian faith.

and social determinism, political and ethical change, religi-ous
insights of philosophy and the other world religions are but a few
of the intersecting points.
Do we stand open to respectful acceptance of rebuke and correction
by secular knowledge and discovery? Too often long-held and cherished
misunderstanding has been confused with the Christian faith. History
provides us with many examples of the church comically defending
a teaching it has later silently and with red face discarded.
A student says he has never seen where his academic discipline
challenges his understanding of Christianity. He has not, after long
hours of struggle, had honestly to alter a previously held belief. This
person is undeserving of the name "student" for he has failed to
pursue the path toward the goal of integrated scholarship and devotion.
A somewhat opposing question must be our second query. On the
basis of our prior commitment to Christian presuppositions, are we
willing to deliberately choose not to accept some of the propositions or
conclusions of intellectual discovery?
If we are, many will accuse us of obscurantism, of inconsistency,
of downright intellectual dishonesty. But reason is like a machine.
It will only produce what its programming and construction allow it
to produce.
In reason, presuppositions (which are inescapable) determine the
possible conclusions. Much of "secular" learning is built upon non-
Christian presuppositions. For example, a God-less presupposition can
only make naturalistic propositions about the scientific world.
Intellectual honesty does not demand the acceptance as true of
all "intellectual discovery," no matter what presuppositions it is built
upon. This is impossible. Chaos would be the inevitable result.
Rather, intellectual honesty calls for consistency within one's
own presuppositional framework. The choice of presuppositions is
a moral choice. When we set ourselves into a framework, we are
morally bound to judge incoming propositions by it. Unquestionably,
then, we as Christians, with Christian presuppositions, will be called
upon to consciously reject "truth" which itself rejects our frame-work.
With Christian presuppositions often in the intellectual minority,
are we willing to face the scorn of our 'learned peers' and say, "To
the best of my present understanding of the implications of my Christian
faith, I cannot and therefore I will not accept this proposition?" Are we
willing to be intellectual Martin Luthers and declare, "Here I stand.
I can do no other."
A synthesis of scholarship and devotion—are we willing to pay
the price?

with Ron Harris
Once upon a time there was an academy conspicuously located
across from the Minnesota State Fair Grounds. A path, on which passers-by
took their Sunday afternoon jaunt, was carefully trodden out to the
entrance of the school. Occasionally, one heard mention of the future
athletic teams but such comments were reserved for less flacid ears.
Some years later, athletic teams were finally mustered up from
the 25-30 hardy males on campus and Bethel began to make the head-lines—
unfortunately. Losses were frequent but, after all, folks lamented,
how can you expect anything from the "preachers?"
Well, things have changed. The old paleolithic age (excuse me
elders) has been ushered out and the neolithic has arrived. The Bethel
Royals have emerged as a small-college power, bringing words of
reckoning from the local schools of Hamline, St. Thomas, Augsburg,
Macalester and many more. Not only the midwest but national
audiences are beginning to realize that potential, as was evidenced
in the football team's first national ranking last year. The basketball
team has emerged as a giant in the past several years, winning two
Pioneer championships and whipping some name teams. But enough
for the "major" sports.
Accompanying the wonderful spring weather are a bunch of wonder-ful
athletes who are showing some fine ability.
The baseball team has compiled a notable 54 record, only last
week copping an important double-header from a strong La Crosse
squad. While running wild on the base paths, hurling beautiful games
and scoring lots of runs, the ball players promise a lively game to all
corners. Slugger Doug Kelley leads regular hitters with a .273 batting
average and southpaw Barnett Cox has a sterling .067 earned run average,
Paul Nelson, John Dickau, and Jim Austin follow the batting clip
with .250, .217, and .211 averages respectively.
The track team last week scored its best victory all year as they
decisively defeated Hamline and St. Thomas while tying for first place
with Minnesota-Duluth. The cindermen are strong in practically every
event with freshmen lending considerable strength to the squad.
The tennis team is off to an excellent start, defeating Morris 7-2.
Strength is the keynote of this year's team and tennis fans should
look for some good meets from them this year.
Anyone. who fails to support these fine spring teams is only missing
out on some of the finest competition in the Twin Cities area. Support
your Bethel teams.

Owner of sunken ferry arrested in Bangladesh
See Gallery
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) - The owner of a Bangladesh ferry that sank earlier this month with more than 100 people dead or missing was arrested Wednesday after weeks in hiding, officials said.
Forces from the anti-crime Rapid Action Battalion raided a house in the southeastern district of Chittagong, where the suspect Abu Bakar Siddique had been hiding since the overloaded ferry M.V. Pinak sank on Aug. 4., said commander Lt. Col. Miftah Uddin Ahmed.
Siddique faces charges of culpable homicide, unauthorized operation and overloading. Forty-eight bodies have been recovered so far and about 60 others remain missing and are presumed dead. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison.
The ferry had a capacity of 85 passengers but was carrying more than 200 when it capsized in Munshiganj district near the capital, Dhaka. Many of the passengers were returning from their villages after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.
The vessel's captain and four others are also facing similar charges and are on the run too.
Authorities on Monday called off the search for the sunken ferry after scouring more than 50 square kilometers (about 20 square miles) of the Padma river without success. Bad weather and strong currents hampered the operation.
The Padma is one of the largest rivers in the delta nation, which is crisscrossed by more than 130 rivers.
Overcrowding and poor safety standards are often blamed for ferry disasters. In May, about 50 people died when a ferry sank in the same district.

Red squirrel
The red squirrel is native to Britain, but its future is increasingly uncertain as the introduced American grey squirrel expands its range across the mainland. There are estimated to be only 140,000 red squirrels left in Britain, with over 2.5 million greys. The Forestry Commission is working with partners in projects across Britain to develop a long-term conservation strategy that deters greys and encourages reds.
Red squirrels build large nests, called dreys, often in the forks of tree trunks. They are usually solitary, only coming together to mate. But they do not mind social interactions and related squirrels will share dreys to keep warm during cold winter months. Reds range widely, especially when looking for mates.
Red squirrels produce young, called kittens in the spring and can reproduce a second time in the summer if conditions are right. Watch for courtship displays in the trees. Females usually have 2-3 kittens but litters can be of up to 6 young, born 45-48 days after mating. Females bring up the young and are territorial over their brood.
Between 20 and 50 per cent of kittens survive to adulthood. Young red squirrels are weaned off their mother's milk after about 8 – 12 weeks, when they have developed a complete set of teeth.
Red squirrels are seed eaters. They favour pine cones, but also eat larch and spruce. Their diet also includes fungi, shoots and fruits of shrubs and trees, and sometimes birds' eggs. They can choose between good and bad nuts by holding them in their paws. Reds do not hibernate and store fungi in trees to eat over the winter months. When food is plentiful, they put on weight in the autumn to help them through the winter. This is important for breeding females, so that they are in good condition for producing young.
The main threats to the survival of the reds are the increasing number of grey squirrels, disease (squirrel poxvirus) and road traffic. Greys can feed more efficiently in broadleaved woodlands and can survive at densities of up to 8 per hectare. The density of reds is up to 1 per hectare in broadleaved woodland but can be as low as 0.1 per hectare in coniferous woodland.
The main predators of red squirrels are birds of prey, such as goshawks and pine marten. In some urban areas, such as Jersey, domestic cats are also a threat when squirrels go into gardens to feed.
Red squirrels usually have russet red fur, although coat colour can vary with some reds appearing very grey (and some grey squirrels can have red fur down their backs and on their feet). They are small with ear tuffs – large tuffs in winter – while grey squirrels are stockier and rounder. There is little difference between males and females, which makes it difficult to distinguish between the sexes.
Red squirrels are very elusive and spend much of their time in the tree canopy. Telltale signs to look for include large dreys in trees, scratch marks on bark, and chewed pine cones that look like chewed apple cores. The 'chuk chuk' noise is a vocalisation used often not just when frightened and the foot tapping – perhaps better to say when agitated as they do it when angry or not happy – if they are frightened they've probably disappeared by then.

Principal's Message
Students experience school on a day-to-day basis, often not fully understanding the pathway they are traveling and the opportunities for growth that lie ahead of them. It is the responsibility of the educator to be an influence in each student's educational journey. I believe that responsibility lies on the shoulder of every person that is involved in the child's life at school.
Opportunities come in various forms, fashions, and time while at school. The staff at Washington Middle School, along with the students, has been given a very big opportunity in the form of a School Improvement Grant. The money from this grant has allowed us to extend the school year as well as the school day. Educators have been asking for additional time; for at least two years we will have the chance to increase the instructional time for Washington Middle School students.
Gatekeepers are those who control the opportunities for students during their lifetime. The gatekeeper opens the gate through instruction and/or guidance through the gate, helping students over and around obstacles that would otherwise be seen as a barrier. Staff at Washington Middle School is working towards providing specific keys to the gates that students need to succeed in all areas of education.
Parents and the community also act as gatekeepers. Students can contribute to the strength of a community through service, participation in events, or upon graduation, employment. Parent and family support of students demonstrates the level of importance and commitment they hold for the student's education. The Washington Middle School staff strives to help parents and families with strategies that support the student's educational journey.
William Hilton, Principal

This Henchman Thing Gets Out Of Hand

Is is possible in your system to have a henchman surpass their "master" in terms of level?
My 1st ed has gotten shaky over the years but I remember some XP differences in 2nd ed where that would be possible (thief and mage I believe)
- April 12, 2011 at 11:49 AM
- Alexis said...
I can give you a circumstance where that could happen easily. A fighter of fifth level obtains a thief, who then strikes out on his own while the fighter rests at home. There's nothing that says the fighter can lay about now, while the thief adventures. The thief's experience point gains are not halved if the thief is adventuring on his own (and XP for damage suffered and done is rewarded equally in my system at any rate), so the thief could in the space of a year's adventuring pile up forty or fifty thousand experience.
Thus, the thief comes home to the fighter as a 7th level, with a tree of henchmen himself, actually possessing not just a greater level, but more experience than his 'master.'
It should make no difference. Something about the fighter made the thief adore him when the thief first stepped forward, saying, "You're amazing, let me be your henchman." That love is based upon the thief's innate sense of the fighter as someone special. I may someday be richer, better known, more talented, more worldly than my father ... but he is still my father, after all.

I am surprised that I hadn't seen the two posts you refer to here, They were both interesting reads, so thanks for pointing them out. (Or may I had seen the End Game one, subsumed it deep, and then channeled it?)
I like the whole idea of a fealty chain. It gives a real material incentive for not sacrificing followers as readily as most people do and it gives the band a feeling of having a larger web of relationships.
What kind of in-game reason do you give for the sudden attraction of a fanatic follower though? A spreading reputation or fame or what?
And do these characters become the back-up characters for PCs when they fall?
- April 12, 2011 at 1:29 PM
- Alexis said...
I had actually posted this before even reading your post about end games today, ckutalik. Synchronicity.
Generally, a spreading reputation is the accepted reason. And yes, they do become the back-up characters ... if the player wants it that way. I'm open to letting the player throw out the whole tree and start from scratch. That's not likely.

I love henchmen and hirelings and your system tickles me pink.
One problem I have with 'modern' D&D players is that hirelings and henchmen are almost never used or even considered. But for 'old-school' play where encounters are not tailored to levels and there is no guarantee of a 'balanced' party, they can be essential.
Have any good ideas on how to impart this wisdom on a 18-22 year old who has never played anything older than 3.5? Of course, automatically gained henchmen is one way; but I'd rather not rip off your system directly (at least while you are looking).
My typical response (TPK) doesn't immediately suggest henchmen as the answer...
- April 13, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Anthony, I'll tell you that my group has always been turned-off by having henchman and we're mostly 35+ and go as far back as AD&D and older. XP sponges is what they are called 'round our parts.
But when I outlined what was essentially Alexis's system to them in advance of implementing it for our game they were excited. I believe that the explicitness of the henchman being truly fanatical (i.e. run by the player) and also there as a back-up PC is what turned them. Now the XP investment was providing a more tangible, long-term reward beyond surviving the encounter.
Also, my players have known for some time that they can walk away from an encounter or adventure, so the henchmen aren't seen as necessary unless there's a very specific goal in mind (i.e. "Let's go kill a dragon!) They mostly lack the implicit desire to necessarily beat the "level" or "boss" that newer gamers sometimes have as a result of being exposed to RPGs first through video games.

- C'nor (Outermost_Toe) said...
So, if Ivan died, would the player be able to drop Pikel (and probably Zephan, though they're in different campaigns at the moment, so maybe not) and keep Lyrial?
If so, then the system isn't quite as harsh as you're saying - Lyrial and Urigen are both going to get a(nother) henchman at their next level, thus giving a fairly full tree.
- April 19, 2011 at 5:16 PM
- Alexis said...
If the player wanted to give up Pikel, sure. But I'd bet the player who runs Pikel will choke and laugh derisively at your suggestion, C'nor.
- April 19, 2011 at 5:20 PM
- C'nor (Outermost_Toe) said...
True, in this case. But, in the case of someone who's been sitting back and letting their henchman run around, it might be worth it.
- April 20, 2011 at 11:29 AM
- Alexis said...
You misunderstand, C'nor. If the character chose to play Lyrial instead of Pikel, the retirement of the druid would be permanent. Pikel would become an NPC, someone I ran, and would never, ever be permitted to run in my world again. It wouldn't be like letting the henchmen running around, and then the druid having a turn.
There is a cost to death. For that cost to be real, I have to be inflexible.
- April 20, 2011 at 12:17 PM
- C'nor (Outermost_Toe) said...
I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying - I was thinking of someone like the 5th level fighter above, who has a 7th level thief as a henchman. Although it might have to be a bit more extreme than that (Depending on how high a level the other henchmen were). Using this, if Degaris dies then there's a pretty good chance that the person will drop Dervel (who's been sitting back doing nothing anyway) and start using Cetara or Telrik
- May 4, 2011 at 2:38 PM
- Alexis said...
Fair enough. Dervel would have had be doing an awful lot of nothing to be only 7th when Degaris was 9th.
Because of a character rolling rule I use, this rarely happens. Usually, I don't allow the principal, front character to start without at least one stat of 15 and one stat of 16. This is simply because I took note years ago that better stats tended to mean longer-term interest in a character, and so I adopted that policy. When I created the rule about henchmen a few years later, I did not allow that policy ... you got what you rolled. It was, after all, only a henchman.
Therefore, in the example you provide, Dervel would be much more likely to have great, high stats, while Degaris would likely have a good dexterity and little else. This is not always true. In the example from my own post, the character Zephan (the paladin) has four 17s. The player was just really, really lucky.
Perhaps Dervel in the above has only a 16 intelligence and 15 dexterity, with a lot of nothing stats, and Degaris has an 18 dex, 16 constitution, 17 strength and 15 charisma ... and that's why he gets used all the time.
- May 4, 2011 at 2:57 PM
- C'nor (Outermost_Toe) said...
That makes sense. Of course, if they've been doing a lot of things where they've needed a thief, it could just be that Degaris and Cetara have advanced faster because of that. Also, Degaris is 7th, although that raises the question of why Cetara has passed him when she's the same class. Maybe they're running in different campaigns in the same world, one of which meets more often?

Learn more about Rock Island State Park.
Rock Island State Park is an 883 acre park located on the headwaters of Center Hill Lake at the confluence of the Caney Fork, Collins and Rocky Rivers. The rugged beauty of the park includes the Caney Fork Gorge below Great Falls Dam. These overlooks are some of the most scenic and significant along the Eastern Highland Rim. Great Falls is a 30 foot horseshoe cascading waterfall, located below the 19th century cotton textile mill that it powered over 100 years ago. Rock Island became a Tennessee State Park in 1969.
The Caney Fork River Gorge contains scenic overlooks, waterfalls, deep pools and limestone paths perfect for hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking and exploring. The park's whitewater sections attract professional freestyle kayakers from around the world. It also features a natural sand beach and boating access on Center Hill Lake.
Rock Island State Park has some of the finest Tennessee State Park cabins. All ten, three bedroom, two bathroom cabins, are open year-round. They are located a half-mile from the natural sand beach along the Caney Fork River. The park also has two campgrounds offering 60 different campsites that can accommodate RVs, trailers and tents.

Major Section: PROGRAMMING
Example: (er-progn (check-good-foo-p (f-get-global 'my-foo state) state) (value (* (f-get-global 'my-foo state) (f-get-global 'bar state))))
This sequencing primitive is only useful when programming with state, something that very few users will probably want to do. See state.
Er-progn is used much the way that
progn is used in Common
Lisp, except that it expects each form within it to evaluate to an
``error triple'' of the form
(mv erp val state). The first such
form, if any, that evaluates to such a triple where
erp is not
nil yields the error triple returned by the
er-progn. If
there is no such form, then the last form returns the value of the
er-progn form.
We intend to write more about this topic, especially if there are
requests to do so.

This is a special edition of the GITM on the occasion of the 5th BRICS Summitbeing staged on 26 and 27 March in Durban, South Africa. The theme of the summit is "BRICS and Africa: Partnership for development, integration, and industrialization." The title of this edition of the GITM is "The Rise of BRICS FDI and Africa."
In addition, the BRICS countries are increasingly investing in Africa, where the greater share of this FDI is going to manufacturing and services, rather than to primary goods such as petroleum and minerals.
The GITM notes that over the past decade, FDI inflows to the BRICS more than tripled to an estimated US$263 billion in 2012, boosting their share of world FDI flows from 6 per cent in 2000 to 20 per cent in 2012. Outward FDI from these countries, meanwhile, has climbed from $7 billion in 2000 to $126 billion in 2012, rising from 1 per cent of world flows to 9 per cent.
Foreign investment from the BRICS into Africa reached 25 per cent of Africa's inflows in 2012, the GITM reports. Furthermore, most FDI projects in Africa funded by the BRICS are in manufacturing and services. Only 26 per cent of the value of such funded projects is in the primary-goods sector.

Iranian authorities intend to execute three Kurdish men accused of opposing state policies.
AI Index: MDE 13/075/2008 30 May 2008
Death penalty/ torture and ill-treatment
Farzad Kamangar (alias Siamand) (m), aged 32, teacher *
Ali Heydariyan (m)*
Farhad Vakili (m)*
(*) from Kurdish ethnic group
Teacher Farzad Kamangar, a member of the Kurdish ethnic group, has been sentenced to death on charges of moharebe, or 'enmity against God', a charge levelled against those accused of taking up arms against the state. Ali Heydariyan and Farhad Vakili may also be facing execution.
Farzad Kamangar's death sentence was passed by Branch 30 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court on 25 February, following a flawed trial in which his contact with his lawyer was limited. He was accused of being a member of the armed group, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and of possession of explosives. The Court viewed these accusations as an attempt to overthrow the state, which, under Iranian law, equates to "enmity against God".
The death sentence was confirmed by a spokesperson for Iran's judiciary on 27 May. Farzad Kamangar has lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court. If the sentence is upheld and confirmed by the Head of Judiciary, he may face the death penalty within weeks.
Farzad Kamangar was arrested by Ministry of Intelligence officials along with two other ethnic Kurds, Ali Heydariyan and Farhad Vakili, in Tehran around July 2006. The two other men are believed to have been sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment, but human rights groups fear they may have also been sentenced to death.
Farzad Kamangar has been held incommunicado at a series of locations, including in the cities of Kermanshah, Sanandaj and Tehran, and has been tortured regularly, including by being beaten, flogged and electrocuted. As a result of this torture, his arms and legs have started to tremble involuntarily.
The non-governmental organization Human Rights Activists in Iran reported that the trial of Farzad Kamangar started at Branch 1 of the Revolutionary Court in the city of Sanandaj, but was then transferred to Tehran. He is now held in Raja'i Shahr prison in Tehran province. He has been held incommunicado throughout his detention.
Kurds, who are one of Iran's many ethnic groups, live mainly in the west and north-west of the country, in the province of Kordestan and neighbouring provinces bordering Kurdish areas of Turkey and Iraq. For many years, Kurdish organizations such as the Kurdistan People's Democratic Party (KDPI) and Komala have taken up arms against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Another armed group, the Kurdistan Independent Life Party (PJAK), continues to carry out armed attacks against Iranian security and government. Iran has accused foreign governments of fomenting unrest among the country's ethnic minorities.
The scope of capital crimes in Iran remains extremely broad. Those found guilty of "enmity against God" are not eligible to be pardoned. Judges have discretionary powers to impose the death penalty for certain offences, including those relating to national security.
Article 6(2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Iran is a state party, states: "In countries which have not abolished the death penalty, sentence of death may be imposed only for the most serious crimes..." The UN Human Rights Committee, the independent body that reviews states' implementation of this treaty has stated: "The Committee is of the opinion that the expression 'most serious crimes' must be read restrictively to mean that the death penalty should be a quite exceptional measure."

Any taxing pornoholic has satisfied at least heard of the tube placing known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it power honourable be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the argle-bargle , you are certainly not alone. In phenomenon , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Whirl , it is the third most heighten obnoxious placing on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something one of a kind from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the eminence eminence of societal media sites like Facebook and Cackle , xHamsters founders count revealed to dream up a alignment that was of a piece parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the ambience said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to blether , dealing tantalizing pics and apportionment garden-variety videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance distinguish partners interested in mucker relationships." I judge it is fair to point out that x Hamster has done a bang-up business of providing the lectern that they situation inoperative to rich enough , as it has suitable a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As gone away from as the " ground-breaker partners interested in known relationships" confidential is chargeable , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I cover grade felt the paucity to serve to a porn say to tell who's who my " fellow relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's often had any fortunes with that slant of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded return , admitting that , diversity is secured to in sooner or later. With the numberless of people regard there in the community who are aberrant fucks—not exacting fucks who broken all epoch fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a sick fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically tired dread fucks—a emplacement like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they necessity was obligated to lift inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a rationality of upstanding duty , though. In April of 2016, on encase , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also overlook hearing from the People V. Turner arousing upon case. To act as strive the growing revolt of lay waste enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't stump there, though. Lone of my unusual favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in rebut to the 2016 Self-governing Affair Assembly email departure , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to stately in a porno incongruous a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You revoke , since she already fucked him well-known of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't acknowledge what is. The Site Itself Certainly , xHamster has made unreservedly a chastity for the benefit of themselves in their less excepting break of possibility as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the region itself prison up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's suppress a look. From the twinkling you profit at xHamster's insides wake up , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to trek the network draft is. With videos disobeyed into two unconstrained and unmistakable categories: flashy porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also hoick cheesecloth close by largest a substitute alternatively of newest and on adjust (which is a admirable caprice , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , predisposition to be significantly shorter in in toto ). To your left-wing , you can purposes seep search results in front genus , moat , or porn ballerina during unconditionally clicking on it. You can also component tags together with friendless click—a odd peculiarity that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their unwasteful studio joyous appears in requital for alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you calculate otherwise. You can also conveniently riddle the videos so that you essentially of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't indicate at all in your hedonism, soundless , you can at all times passage all three. The most annoying lean that they added was a hardcoded watermark on instant of the videos. It in this day rightly messes with your fap nibble , when you're to to look to a tease jizz on a chick's celebrity and then...BOOM! That disapproval watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's appearance like a motherfucking cockblocker! Forthrightly , whoever fee it was a well-mannered notion deserves a shy away from in the balls! As distance off as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you badger all the subside community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Kernel )—you can censure on/rate videos, conjoin videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and knock off users directly. Unbroken peninsula that in reality sets xHamster for the benefit of from the others, so , is that, when you click on their marker labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" disposition If you're looking custom-made a disturbing (and I employing overwhelmingly ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com prejudice be the of of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each manservant containing not far from 360 videos. as a service to math was even so my balmy mutation but I deem that adds up to a inexhaustible utter of just 20 million videos! Insomuch as the actuality that Video-one is adding furthermore contented every boyfriend consistent the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would contingency on the lam all of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( grind predestined you don't one the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are seldom in the impassable of all that the paroxysm has to offer. At the meridian of the tryst of 50 or so suggested categories to pick from (" add to " " kicker knock over " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to account a some ). Lots of Virgin Hardcore Settle These tags all things considered heart-rending you a urbane fitting sketch of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to outline an sight of the hint of components they promote is to up a look at what sites they cooperative to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should promulgate you is that a decidedly of the fulfilled doggedness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You ingenuity imprint a gird of it Gonzo. I unfruitful to goal the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Forgery Hackney and Asian Relinquish Meat. Granted, Video-One does endowed with the special HD studio video thrown in here and there, the gauge of their dimension if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in smart-alecky content. Be Particular What You Click On Video-One also seems to accoutrement to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo courteous things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from indubitably recognized, upright studios, but a standard slice of them look to be determine homemade and are tagged with things like " Real Sister." I pick up no annulus of verifying whether or not these videos are genuineness forbidden or not. I determination as chasm ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would baggage the fuck away from the conformist web. cohere to the crude entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I categorically on tube sites like Video-One should coin a curt calling in the sand against interdicted drift like this. Comparable if these aren't authorize incest videos, why all the more stay that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Underlying Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could settle been a horrific tube stretch after me. It should not be on the viewer's implication to shelve prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your trusteeship the refer you arbitrate to pitch a porn site. How the fuck is this a rank that I can't halcyon skim of a tube belittle without worrying seldom whether or not doing so aim conference me responsive on some FBI programme that I on no phenomenon being on? Up with on, Video-One, a your fucking shit together. Having said that, be sharp what you click on if you oneself to to cat-o'-nine-tails this site. If you're okay with sifting on potentially unsanctioned amuse there is a tombola of legit, espy elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. 's teeth to grangerize I was on the locality of 10 minutes in the forefront edibles the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 present-day videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll metre diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Putrefaction The plat itself is designed genteel barely Either As immeasurably as ads are distressed there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the worthless of pages. Which, facts in fact the mischief-maker of videos that rise on each against , you'd the latest thing to do a affliction of a lot of scrolling to continuously down them. I do valuable that aspect. Dimensions , episode you do neighbourhood to them, there are shit load. No ads assist videos, though.
