'We need a
new spartan
ethic in this
by Bonnie Greene
The gospel of Consciousness Three or
the Children of God, perhaps? Not this
time. These words belong to Ralph Nader,
the prophet of the consumer age,
the age when the real hero in America
is the man who spends as much as possible.
Nader aimed his attack at the
young who claim to have rejected the
conspicuous consumption of middlec1ass
Americans. According to Nader the
"committed" young spend an average of
$240 a year on soft drinks, tobacco and
movies \\(hile their causes sink into oblivion
for lack of funds. The sad point
of Nader's message is painfully true:
Americans are all the same - greedy.
Living the plush· life for which Americans
are famous is easy to take except
'when it comes to paying for it. Stereos,
pool tables and diner's clubs are more
expensive than we think such "necessities"
should be. The villain in the economic
squeeze varies from big business
and the military·educational-industrial

complex to the president, the labor
unions and those phantoms who control
the money supply. All the guilty are
branded and loudly condemned - all but
one, that is: the American consumer
himself, the guy who marks progress
with dollar signs.
Nearly all good Americans look on a
growing GNP as a sign that the country
is still in good health after all. At
Thanksgiving the nation gorges itself and
thanks God for his blessings on America
- economic blessings, of course. The
country sighs with relief when merchants
announce that Christmas sales are up
again despite a recession. Comparative
wealth and a rising standard of living
go with being an American. And the
individual consumer plays a very big
role in ' his country's "well-being".
Take the health care field, for example.
Costs for hospitalization are so
overwhelming that the nation is desper·
ately looking for the culprit and some
way to control him. So far the accused
include the doctors with their fat salaries,
the drug manufacturers who
turned health into big business, the
fancy equipment for rare diseases and
the AMA. Almost no one thinks of the
health care consumer's role in escalating
medical costs.
The public relations director of a
modern private hospital recently told
me of the struggle to economize while
patients demand more of the amenities
of home in the hospital. She had surveyed
recent patients for their evaluation
of the quality of health care at her
hospital. No one complained about
health practices, inadequate facilities or
crowded wards; the hospital is only ten
years old and enjoys an impeccable professional
reputation. Instead, nearly every
survey listed numerous petty complaints
reflecting the American consumer
-the floors were not carpeted
-the bathrooms (with showers) had to
be shared by four patients
-some beds still used hand cranks
-the walls 'Were painted in pastels
instead of supergraphics
-the $54jday room had to be shared
with another patient
-the rooms had only one phone and
one TV for two patients.
This hospital is aggressively combating
high costs, but when patients complain
about the "austere surroundings",
doctors put pressure on the board to
meet the standards of the local community.
Prices rise and the consumeI'
screams, but he never once thinks of his
pampered life-style as a part of the problem.
We are all caught in a greedy, consumer
mentality which is so thoroughly
American that we seldom think about it
any more. Ralph Nader does, though.
He wants us, to free ourselves so that
we can get on with the business of social
reform. And Jesus Christ does, too, but
He calls us to free ourselves to a lifestyle
which is Biblical, not just American.
Whatever that life-style proves to
be, we'd better start grappling with the
Word of God for consumers before that
Word must come to us in judgment.

Dr. Don Larson
leaves on Sabbatical
by Chris Taber
Bethel S'tudents will have to say "goodbye"
to one of our favorite "people
watchers" next year. Dr. Donald Larson,
chairman of the Department of Social
Sciences and professor of anthropology
and linguistics, will be on sabbatical
leave during the school year 1972-73. Dr.
Larson will spend the time as consultant
to the Union Language Center in Bangkok,
Dr. Larson came to Bethel in 1968
with a vision of making anthropology
and linguistics meaningful to Christian
college students. "It is a fact," he said,
"that the major difference between
men ·and animals is language. Christians
believe we are made in the image of
God. Man alive, linguists ought to have
a lot to contribute to a Christian liberal
arts college." Thanks to his efforts,
Bethel is one of the first Christian colleges
to offer courses like "Man Language
and Cul'ture" and "Languages of
the World".
Dr. Larson's vision stems Trom years
of working with the Bible, anthropology,
linguistics; and missionarieS'. At Wheaton
College he majored in Greek. Then,
while studying New Testament at. Trinity
Graduate School, his interests transfered
to linguistics. In 1957 he joined
the faculty of the Toronto School of
Linguistics. Through the Institute he
had his first direct contact with missionaries.
He began to realize that missionaries

of a two story house are visible in the

in the making. But already it speaks

the new communities they were
ministering to. He decided to use his
interests in anthropology and linguistics
to help the missionaries.
So, in 1961, Dr. Larson spent a year
in the Philippines organizing a language
school and the next three years working
for the American Society as a
translations consultant and researcher.
In 1966 he came to Bethel. "I really
enjoy teaching. At a Christian college,
students can discuss and deal with issues
that can't be discussed elsewhere. I
also like the progressive attitude of
Dr. Larson, though, notes a big difference
between the collegiate attitude of
his day and the one today (which he
says may be a "mere distortion" because
he's now a teacher rather than
a student). When he went to Wheaton,
veterans from the war were just returning
home. "I noticed a kind of intensity
of curiosity that I don't see here.
Kids here seem to . have no sense of
purpose or intellectual curiosity." He
is happy to say, though, tha't "there is
a lot less Mickey Mouse behavior. We
are much more concerned with making
our expressions of ene'rgy effective."
Besides teaching at Bethel, Dr. Larson
is Principal of the Toronto Sohool
of Linguistics, a member of the editorial
committee for Practical Anthropology
magazine, a participant in orientation
programs for missionaries, and a writer.
HiS' book Becoming Bilingual is now be-ily
- law abiding citizens who meet
with disaster when they compromise
with evil.
Much of the tension of the play stems
from the personality of the protagonist,
a hearty man who aims to please, but
also flares up in anger when under
pressure. Action alternates from the
main floor of the stage to the attic
throughout the play. A chorus will provide
commentary on the action; they,
act to warn and to predict destruction
but go unheeded. The viewer can identify
with them as an observer of the
action. On the other hand, the chorus
members are vital participants in the
action, as well.
"The Firebugs" is an expansive play.
The stage itself extends beyond the
southeast corner of the room to the
whole auditorium. The viewer will be
entertained with a plot but may also

It is a book "to teach a person how to
learn a language by himself."
Some of Dr. Larson's hobbies are
bird watching, cross-country skiing, sailing,
and gardening. He hates motor boats
and snowmobiles. "They're against my
religion", he says . .
Next year the Larson famHy will
live in Bangkok. Dr. Larson, as consultant
to the Union Language Center, hopes,
to accomplish three goals: upgrade the
teacihers, help improve the materials and
program and help out with lectures.
While he is gone, Dr. Correll will become
chairman of Social Sciences.
see himself as the victim. The action of
the play is fictional history; yet modern
day parallels will become clear.
The play is geared for audience reaction.
It attempts to provoke laughter,
reflection, and awareness of the world
around us, and also issues a challenge
to do more than simply exist in our
day to respond actively to life!
Director Steve Terrell would add
that the purpose of presenting "The
Firebugs" is for edification - the building
up of the believers to better sen'e
Christ in the world.
Leading roles will be played by
Kevin Nordberg, Karin Soderholm, Otto
Keyes, and Ken Fisher.
Tickets are on sale now: Students-
50c; Adults $1; at the door $1. The play
will be presented in two performances
at 7 and 9 p.m. April 27 and 28 and
May 5 and 6.

Can an evangelical not be a Christian? Is being an evangelical
synonymous with being a Christian?
Not 'necessarily. A person can ,be a thorough-going evangelical
or fundamentalist and not know Christ as his Savior.
A child raised in a Christian home is usually taught to believe
and behave in accordance with the standards of that
home. He will almost unconsciously learn and acquire those
kinds of behavior that bring rewards and avoid behavior that
brings punishment or disapproval.
Now rewards and punishment must be interpreted broadly.
Reward might simply ,be parental approval, a word of
appreciation, a smile, or other form of praise. Punishment
or disapproval may be the withholding of rewards, failure to
notice, or indifference. In: an evangelical or fundamentalist
home a child will likely receive positive reinforcement for
such activities as praying before meals, having devotions,
memorizing Bible verses, talking about God and Jesus, possibly
testifying or taking part in services.
It does not take a child long to learn to believe and behave
in that manner which brings' the approval and praise of
the important people in his life, or the more tangible rewards
which may accompany such approval. Thus, unwittingly, at the
behavioral level, he may be taught a kind of "works righteousness"
instead of the message of the gospel, that man is
saved by faith alone. And I would suggest that this kind of
learning is at a deeper level than the more abstract concepts
he may be learning about faith at the intellectual
In an almost imperceptible manner, family, church, and
subculture mold the child's religious beliefs, feelings, actions,
and attitudes. If "getting saved" is desired behavior, then
most likely a child (at least up to adolescent years) will
follow that route. I dare say it would be a rare child, raised
in an evangelical or fundamentalist home, who reaches eleven
or twelve years of age without an "experience of salvation."
Whether that experience is just the natural response to the
reinforcements of his life and env,ironment, or a genuine
conversion, is a question that needs to be asked and answered
for every such individual later in his life.
Not only is religious behavior molded by the religious
environment, but even more basic (and more dangerous as
well) is the fact that a child's self-concept (what he thinks
of himself, his approval and disapproval of his own person)
is learned in similar fashion.
For example, he will feel approvingly toward himself,
proud of himself, when he takes part successfully in religious
activities. He may feel very self-satisfied over having given
a "good testimony," or shed some tears over a wayward
sinner, or "witnessed." The opposite is' true ·as well. A child
so enculturated may come to feel guilty for not having
devotions, or not "testifying" or "taking part" in prayer. He
may have nothing authentic to testify or witness about, but
nonetheless be struck down with guilt for not having done so.
Now the products of such religious training vary considerably.
Some children reach adolescence or young adulthood and
struggle through to find a faith of their own. Others become
increasingly aware that their religious behavior is just that,
religious behavior - ways of acting and thinking in which
they have been unconsciously molded; rituals and categories
of thinking that are not their own, but rather those of their
parents, or the group in which they have been raised. And
they gradually pitch most of this overboard.
But the most disturbing cases are those youth who continue
to behave, think, and feel in the same religious categories
in which they have been raised, but for whom there
comes little or no awareness of the hand-me-down and inauthentic
nature of their faith. We would call such persons
"conditioned Christians" or "system Christians." They have
all the "forms of godliness," but their lives 'Will deny the
dynamic and "power thereof."

Strictly speaking, it is really scandalous that science
has not yet clarified the nature of number. It might be
excusable that there is still no generally accepted definition
of number, if at least there were general agreement
on the matter itself. However, science has not yet
even decided whether number is an assemblage of things,
or a figure drawn on the blackboard by the hand of man;
whether .it is something psychical, about whose generation
psychology must give information, or whether it is a
logical structure, whether it is created and can vanish,
or whether it is eternal. It is not known whether the
propositions of arithmetic deal with those structures
composed of calcium carbonite or with non-physical
entities. There is as little agreement in this matter
as there is regarding the word ((equal" and the
equality sign. Therefore, science does not know the
thought content attached to its propositions it does not
know what it deals with; it is completely in the dark
regarding their proper nature. Isn't this scandalous. -

Bizarre Bazaar
By Randy Mink
Just the other day as I dipped my spoon into a cup of boysen·
berry yogurt, I winced, let the rancid stuff slither down my throat
and entertained visions of mysterious mosques, sweating Turks and
shawled beggars in dirty downtown Istanbul.
Yogurt, common in the Middle East, was something I had every·
day in this ancient city that straddles Europe and Asia . I hate this
fermented milk product, but, like Listerine, I take it in regardless.
While Turkish yogurt is 7 cents, the same amount of yogurt in
America costs a quarter. Therein lies half the joy of visiting Turkey,
a $5·a·day country if you ever saw one! When you want a Coke to
quench your thirst or a second helping of chicken or shishkebab, no
problem! Prices here are easily less than half those of Britain, Ger·
many and other industrialized countries in Europe.
Istanbul, moreover, is a heady world of its own. Memories of the
port on the Bosporus and its oriental flavor linger· fo·rever. It almost
makes your travels in the rest of Europe seem like going from Cin·
cinnati to Cleveland. A student flight or two·day student train ride
to Istanbul is more than worth it.
Once known as Byzantium and Constantinople, today's Islamic
city has preserved many remnants of its colorful past, including that
labyrinth of tunnels lined with rolls of carpets, bolts of gaudy fabric,
racks of sheepskin coats and gleaming brassware-the Grand Covered
Bazaar! ("Mister, Mein Herr, Monsieur, want to buy a leather coat?
. .. Why not?")
Luckily for students, the historic rumble·tumble core of town
is where many low·cost hotels and restaurants abound, not to men·
tion student travel agencies.
Highly recommended in the Old City (European side) is the
YMCA·affiliated Yucel Tourist Hostel, open to students of both
sexes and situated on a quiet shady street across from the very first
Christian cathedral and then imperial mosque, magnificent St. Sophia
(or Aya Sofya).
Across from this Byzantine masterpiece is the dream·like Sultan
Ahment or Blue Mosque, named for the bluish mist emanating from
thousands of glittering blue tiles that cover the interior. Take off
your shoes. Tread quietly. Can you read the Arabic inscriptions?
Watch Moslems on bright carpets praying to Allah. Say to yourself,
"Am I really here?"
Next head toward Topkapi Palace and see the splendor that Ot·
toman sultans enjoyed, including the fabled harem.
Wherever you go in Istanbul, you're hassled by shoe shiners,
roast corn vendors, women with birdseed for the pigeons and water
boys clinking a glass to a pan. One tambourine·rattling boy who had
two bears on leashes persuaded me to pose with them, until the big
one started to chew my leg.
The water in Turkey isn't too safe, though I drank it and I'm
still alive (probably because of health·enhancing yogurt) .
For additional tips and well·researched descriptive accounts,
see Turkey on $5·A·Day by Tom Brosnahan. He spent two years in
Turkey with the Peace Corps and knows the language.
You may write TEJ for information on student flights and vacation
ideas in Turkey. While in Istanbul you may get help from TMGT.

Whatever the members of the Bethel Women's Choir expected
of their Spring Tour, it appears now the excellent
plans of the Lord far exceeded the hopes of any of the girls
in making it a memorable experience for all. The tour, in
many spots was difficult due to a heavy schedule of concertsthe
choir had three performances Easter Sunday, for example
-but was a period of strengthening for many.
"What really made the tour exciting was not the sightseeing
or travelling," said freshman Lauri Bohne, "but the
growing and sharing we did in the Lord. It was really great
to read the Bible with 41 sisters and uphold one another
in prayer."
The choir toured eastern Wyoming; Colorado, in the
Denver and Colorado Springs areas; and travelled back
through Nebraska and Iowa, making one concert stop in
each of those two states. As revival had grown recently
among the churches in which they performed, a revival of its
own kind spread through the choir.
"I appreciated getting to know the people in the different
churches. It gave me a fresh insight into the church as
more than an institution - it's a body of believers," Jean
Lovaas commented.
Among their experiences, the choir toured the Denver
area, the United States Air Force Academy near Colorado
Springs, Garden of the Gods, and Glen Eyrie, the national
headquarters of the Navigators.
Time was set aside by the choir each morning and evening
for devotional periods. As much as an hour and a half was
spent in this way every day. The girls used this time to share
their experiences of the night before in the homes of church
me~bers, letters and prayer requests from home and simply
the concerns of one another's hearts. The honesty and love
that gradually resulted was truly the working of the Spirit
and an answer to the choir's prayers. It was truly a time of
unity in the Spirit and revival in hearts. Ask anyone of the
Women's Choir members and find out for yourself.

It was inspiring for us to visit other churches in our
conference and see how God is working in them. We encountered
many who had heard Brother McLeod, an evange,list
from Canada, at the' Rocky Mountain Annual Conference held
in Torrington, Wyoming during the month of March. Much
soul searching, confession and release of long he'ld grudges,
and making of commitments was done. To learn how God

was I,Iplifting.

To the editor:
This week a friend of mine shared
with me the recent issue of the Clarion
dealing with two "critical" issues; one
being marijuana in the dorm and the
other, the "dismissal" of two instructors.
The thing that really ate at me was
not the two issues - these are peripher~
al at best, but the apparent appalling
naivete on the part of many of the
student body as to what life is all about
and what the real issues of life really
Those of us who are forced to undergo
the rigors of a secular campus have no
doubt that the words of Ephesians 6 are
all too true. We need no convincing
that we are engaged in a life and death
struggle against the forces of evil and
that the fight is getting progressively
rougher as the days grow progressively
shorter until our Lord's return. As a
result we know where our efforts must
be concentrated. There is no time or
energy to waste on silly peripheral matters.
A disciplined, Spirit-controlled life
is a necessity if we are to survive. In
this type of Hfe, the peripheral matters
• • • • •
fall into place where they belong.
Is it any wonder then that we look
with askance at such silly, childish behaviour
at a Christian college? Christian
colleges such as Bethel were never meant
to be clinics whose principal duty is to
burp bilious brats. Christian colleges
are not proper stewards of God's money
when they cater to the ego trips of those
who are themselves so devoid of discipline
that they think the world revolves
around their so-called problems. This
type of person should either go home
to Mama or find himself a substitute
Mama, but he doesn't belong in a Christian
school, because he has completely
missed the real purpose of a Christian
school. Colleges such as Bethel are
training stations for the purpose of
sending out shock troopers as the forward
advance in the war against evil.
Because of this very purpose, discipline
is a necessity. Undisciplined persons
never have accomplished anything worthwhile
for Jesus and they never will.
Due to my own financial limitations
I was not able to take advantage of
a school such as Bethel in my under-
• • • • •
graduate years. My own investigations
as to the quality and caliber of Christian
education offered at Bethel leave no
doubt in my mind as to the fact that
Bethel is a superior Christian school
with a great administration, a fine teaching
staff and a high and noble purpose.
People who don't think so are missing
the entire point as to the purpose of the
school. Moreover they are wasting their
money on an education that could be
gained more conveniently elsewhere. To
such, an outsider such as myself can
only say, "Why don't you take your rebellion
and your ego trips elsewhere?"
If it involves losing financial support
from your parents, at least you might
gain a clearer conscience out of the
deal. If, on the other hand, your purpose
is the same as Bethel's, then why don't
you stop playing silly games, including
those of the name-calling variety and
get with your purpose in life - the
same purpose that is Bethel's purpose?

Home cooking causes one to ponder
by Terry James
It was Christmas time and I was sitting
down to my first home cooked meal
s.ince September. The smell and sight
of roast beef, fluffy rice, casserole of
cream of mushroom and green beans,
fresh tossed salad and brownies for
dessert was almost more than I could
bear as I came to the table. After a
long sonorous prayer from my father,
I quickly picked up my fork for that
first delicious bite. A minute later I
slowly laid my fork back down. Everyone
stopped eating and turned to look
at me. My mother said in a concerned
"What's the matter? Does it taste bad;
don't you like roast beef any more?" I
shook my head. My father frowned and
"Are you sick?"
"Aw, she probably decided to go on
a diet," commented my brother. I kept
shaking my head no in reply and wondered
how I was going to explain that
all this good food was going to be too
much for a person who had been existing
on a diet of greasy pork chops, apples,
candy bars and peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches for four months.
It's not that Bethel food is bad-it's
just that it is kind of hard to get the
variety and quality that one gets at
home. The problem of course is money.
The money we pay for food at Bethel
simply covers the basics for three meals.
There is not money for those of us who
have eccentric eating patterns desiring
peach yogurt and Postum for lunch or
rare steak and avocado salad at dinner.
What Bethel needs is a food service
plan where those who live in the dorm
can decide when they want to eat in the
dining hall. I know that I don't mind
eating breakfast and lunch there, but
the dinners are always a little disappointing.
I would prefer using th~!
money at a restaurant, grocery store or
saving the money and going without
food. Also a number of students are
gone over the weekends and are paying
for four or five meals that they never
eat. Perhaps they would like to go on
a five-day meal plan.
Well, these are just suggestions and
ideas that I've been turning over in my
head ever since coming 'back to a dinner
of turkey chunks over cold instant
potatoes (yuck!) Since Bethel is changing
in a number of things as we move
out to the new campus perhaps the food
service could be brought into consideration,

Can Bethel women be trusted?
by Merilee Dyer
"Well, at least you don't have to worry
about being seen with any 'males'
other than retired missionaries or agents
of benevolent societies. You're pretty
lucky, things could be worse.
"And think, you don't have to sacrifice
that beautiful complexion or sexy
smile (aided by cosmetics) for an education.
You don't have to worry ahout
tarrying before a mirror more than
three minutes. We ·are pretty liberal
these days."
"You can read immoral works such
as Shakespeare and Robinson Crusoe.
Yes, we're pretty progressive today.
girls can be out till twelve o'clock on
week days. They can even date on week
day nights.
"BUT ... can members of the female
sex handle such freedoms? After all
they are pretty helpless, especially the
freshmen. Deviants seem to be attraded
to Bethel because the girls are so naive
and easy to shock."*
All students at Bethel should be able
to function academically on: a college
level. It is assumed that all students
regardless of sex or age are able to
discipline tlieir minds and meet Bethel's
standards. The assumption of social responsibility
unlike academic responsibility
is not applied to the girls of
Bethel - especially the freshmen.
The last two weeks have served to
emphasize to me, a resident of Bodien,
that most freshmen girls are incapable
of taking responsibility for themselves
and that the majority of girls really do
not care to take responsibility for their
actions, attitudes or life style.
A recent example has been a 'hassle'
over an Inter-Visitation program for
Bodien. The proposal was defeated for
many reasons. The basic assumption behind
these reasons is that freshmen
girls cannot be responsible for themselves.
This assumption has been reinforced
by the apathy of most residents
and the inability of a few girls to abide
by existing rules. It was felt by some
that Inter-Vis would only provide more
rules to break.
Yes, the proposal was set up idealistically.
It was set up that way so that
D.C. and the members of the dorm could
incorporate the ideas and requirements
different factions would have. The D.C.
referred the proposal to Miss Starr,
simply because the proposal could have
not been dealt with in a mature manner.
Most of the girls forgot that the matter
had even been brought up. It is significant
that a decision that would have
affected the whole dorm elicited little
response either in favor of or against
the proposal.
For most freshmen girls it is sufficient
to ac·cept the rules without examining
the validity or consequences of such
rules. Most girls are willing to let the
school and their parents and church
make their decisions. But ' what should
the role of more 'mature' authorities be?
Should they continue to coddle the irresponsibility
of freshmen girls? Should
they protect them and stop the girls
from taking responsibility for themselves
and their choices? Should they
continue to protect their naivete? The
task of the administration is to run:
a community and rules are necessary
to a community. Yet, beyond their obvious
task their role is to affect and
channel Christian Youth.
Personally, I believe that rules orily
solve problems superficially. The administration
should be seeking to change
people on a deeper level. I believe that
only by allowing people to exercise freedom
by taking the responsibility for
their actions will produce necessary maturity
and responsibility.

Gospel teams work
for God and Bethel
by Marshall Shelley
Gospel teams are helping themselves,
their listeners and Bethel.
About 15 active tems, ranging in size
fTom two to seven members, are operating
out of Bethel. They have gone
as faT as Chicago and Canada, although
most of the work is done in Minnesota
and surrounding states. In April, a
group will be going to Seattle, Washington,
according to Dan Peterson, Christian
Service director.
The teams seem to be doing a great
job. They have been getting positive responses
from the churches.
"We have had 50 or 60 requests for
gospel teams so far this year," said
Peterson. "We send a critique sheet for
the churches to fill out to analyze the
teams' performances. Amazingly, all but
four or ifive have been completely positive
He said this is projecting a good
image for Bethel in the churches, but
'public relations is secondary to the
spiritual aspect. Team members find
it easier to talk about Christ in daily
situations. Gospel teams are an invaluable
experience for sharing our faith
in Christ, said Peterson.
Jim Luedtke, a freshman gospel team
member, said, "Our gospel team has
taught me to depend on the Lord. We
have to trust him to work out even the
small things like colds, sore throats and
disagreements within: the group."
Growth among members of the teams
is not the only spiritual result. Listeners
in the audiences are being helped,
"People have seen Christ in us," said
Dave Allison, "and this is what we want
to come through."
Jim Luedtke ·agreed. "An emotional
high is good when people realize that
that's not '·all of Christianity," he said,
"but between every mountaintop, there's
a valley. It's the same way with Christianity.
We can't stay up forever." He continued,
"If we can make the spiritually
dead in the churches realize there is
something to Christ, then we have been
a success."
Dave Kennedy said, "One thing I would
like to see us do more of is the personto-
pers-on sharing. We don't have a
chance to do enough of this."

bring mixed
student reaction
by Marshall Shelley
Dan Nelson won this year's student
body presidential elections and Marty
Mauk was elected vice president.
Nelson, a sophomore, has been active
in Democratic party local politics. He
is a precinct chairman in Arden Hills
and a delegate to his party's district
Mauk was a senior this year, but he
will be returning next year to finish
his work because he recently switched
majors from social science education to
history and Christianity.
Both candidates were considered "moderates"
by many Bethel students. About
600 students voted in this election, a
much larger turnout than any in recent
Bethel history. Bethelites did have varied
reactions to the election results.
GREG BRUNKO: Lots of people voted
because of the controversial candidates.
Students chose the middle-of-the-road
candidate. We are duping ourselves
into believing that by electing someone
with similar beliefs as ours will solve
our problems. Actually, only by changing
ourselves can we solve anything.
SUE HOPF: I didn't have any reaction.
It went like I expected.
JACK GUSTAVSON: We got typical
Bethel results, the middle-of· the-road
candidates won. I suppose that's what
Bethel deserves.
JOHN EDWARD PETERSON: The interest
in this election was aroused because
of the variety and extreme views
of the candidates. People wanted to make
sure we didn't get a dud.
BOB GOODSELL: Dan is a good speaker
and claims to be available, but I hope
he has what it takes to really see that
something is done, and not just be a
sounding board,
ANONYMOUS: I think Marty Mauk
has now run for everything but the Beth·
el track team,
ANN HUNDT: I think the turnout was
great. I especially liked the way the
Clarion played up the issues, but I
didn't keep track of how the elections
RALPH GUSTAFSON: There was no
candidate I wanted to vote for because
no candidate told me how he would
make Senate different or more effective
than it is now.
DAN FREEBERG: I'm glad Nelson
won. People weren't sure how Bib Miko
stood. Some said he was an extremist
and others said he wasn't. I was also
glad Marty Mauk won, since I didn't.
DAVID PETERSON: I think it worked
out the only way it could. Dan was the
only man for the job this year.
BRENT LUNDGREN: The candidates
didn't put much thought into their campaigns.
They just wanted to be in the
DOUG LARSON: There were good issues
this time. Different factions on
campus really did care about who won.
Al Cooper, Dee Traudt and Scott Sheveland
won the three Senator-at·large
posts. Pete Enchelmayer and Kim Bowen
won the two available class of 1975
senate seats while Tim Martens, Dean
Erickson and Nancy Meyer were elected
to represent the class of 1974. Jon Landberg
and Doug Larson won senate seats
for the class of 1973.
Baseball season
opens tomorrow
by Dave Shaw
Starting this season with an entirely
different pitching staff from last year's
team, the Royals will begin their first
season of conference play in the TriState
Baseball Conference tomorrow
against Yankton at the new campus at
In talking with Coach Trager, he expressed
optimism for this year and
pointed out that, "defensively, we can
field every position with veterans; but
because of the lack of hitting and inconsistency
in the field, every spot is op,en."
Co·captains Jim Delich and Gary
Clark, both seniors, should provide leadership
on the field. Delich, one of the
leading hitters in past seasons, has
lettered all three years, and Clark, after
a somewhat disappointing junior season,
should wind up his baseball career at
Bethel with a strong finish. Undoubtedly,
one of the keys to a successful season
for the Royals will be the strength of
the untested pitching staff, which is
comprised of three lefthanders and one
Bethel will be playing all of their
home games this year on the new field
at the New Campus. Coach Trager added,
"This will be the first time that
we have had our own field to practice
and to play on." Bethel's season opened
with a home game April 6 against
North Central Bible College which Bethel
won 13-3.
Third Old wins
1M cage title
by Dave Shaw
On the final night of intramural play,
Third Old captured the intramural championship
with a 42-35 win over Second
Although the final margin of seven
points was the same as the 19-12 count
at the half, the game was not without
its moments of doubt for Third Old.
At the beginning of the second half,
Second Old clamped on a tenacious full
court press which forced Third Old
into numerous costly turnovers and enabled
Second Old to knot the game once
again. For the remainder of the game
Second Old stayed dose on improved
shooting, particularly by Don Reed,
but when they were forced to foul late
in the game Bob Elliott tossed in 5 of
7 free throws to dampen Second Old's
championship hopes.
John Merritt led the winners with 15
points followed by Dave Healy with 10.
Those two players also contributed most
of the rebounds for Third Old. Elliott,
on the basis of his late free throws, added
7 points. Reed led Second Old with
14 points, all coming in the second half.
The only other player in double figures
was Mark Robertson with 13. No other
player for Second Old had more than
two points.
In the consolation game, Second New
pressed and ran their way over New.'
Dorm, 55-52, to grab a third place finish.
Dee Traudt took scoring honors for the
game with 31 points, hitting exactly 60
percent of his shots from the field.

"I love this game so much I'd play for nothing", said
the well paid baseball player to reporters.
"I'll be bleeped if I'll play for less than $75,000", says
the same player in negotiating for a new contract.
Reminds me of the time Babe Ruth held out for $70,000,
which at that time waS' more than the President of the United
States was making. Advised of this, Babe replied, "Well, I
had a better year than he did".
But what would happen if the President decided to hold
out for a bigger salary? Suppose the '73 "season" comes
along and President Nixon has made the "roster" but decides
to hold out:
Now let me make one thing perfectly clear
In '72 I had a good year.
Now I've got the V.P. and White House to run
I'll tell you with Spiro it ain't that much fun.
I now wish that Hubert would run it instead
But Dick Nixon has to, and I want more bread.
I'm ready to hold out for many long days
I'll hold out and hold out 'til I get a raise.
I'll hold out and hold out 'til hell freezes over
I won't sign my contract 'til I'm in the clover.
Now that I've said this about that for a while
Playing for Washington is quite a trial.
They're first in war and peace and intrigue
But last in the good old American League.
But I'm going to win this salary war
They won't kick Dick Nixon around anymore.

come) each won their contests last week and hope to generate

Guidelines for
Christian voters
Taken from THE NACPA POLITIKON, the pUblication of
the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR CHRISTIAN POLITICAL
ACTION, Box 185, Sioux Center, Iowa 51250, Vol 1, No.8,
March 15,1972.
As the frenzy of Election Year '72 increases, so does the
frustration of Christian voters. In many cases there will be
no easy, clear-cut decision on whom to vote for. We will be
hard-pressed to find any Christian politicians with Christian
principles, platforms, and answers. The "choice" between
Democrat or Republican offers no solution either. Their
similar God·less, man-centered directions make them increasingly
unacceptable to Christians.
But we have no NAOPA candidates yet this year. We must
vote for what there is with as much Christian impact as
possible. Therefore, we are offering you the following checklist
to help give some guidelines in your voting for candidates
on all levels of government. We hope that you will use it
especially for local and state candidates. (We will try to
give further help on Presidential ·candidate later.) This list is
by no means complete. Perhaps you can add to it. (Note that
we purposely left church-affiliation off the list, because we
have experienced regretably that it does not automatically
mean Christian politics.) Use the list together with fellowChristians.
Help each other find out about the candidates and
share what you find.
You may have to do some checking on your own to discover
some of these items about the candidates. Attend meetings
at which they speak. Study the underlying assumptions in
their slogans. Check news coverage on them. Write them your
questions. Openly confront them with your criteria for candidates.
This way they will know the priorities of at least
some of their voters. As the campaigns' progress, keep check·
ing the candidates against this list. Let them know why you
will or will not vote for them according to these standards.
Dare we do any less than this when we are choosing the
people who are to exercise the God-given authority of
V Does the candidate base his campaign to a large extent
on the weakness of his opponent?
V Does the candidate have a political program based on
sound principles which he is determined to work out
despite the difficulties, or on pragmatic necessity?
(For example, avoid a candidate who would say. "Equal
aid to parents of children in a Christian school is a
nice idea, but I don't see how it could ever be worked
2001 West Larpenteur Avenue
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55113
EST. 180e
17.:5,000 Square f •• t of Gla ..
V Does the candidate operate out of a pluralistic idea of
equal rights and representation to people of every
different religious or heart-direction? (Check his concern
for minority group rights and interests).
V Will the candidate be influenced by vested interest?
(For example, does he hold a large amount of shares
in a certain industry, or receive large campaign contributions
from a certain power bloc?)
V Check the candidate's campaign expenditures. Does he
gain his publicity from money and a hard·sell approach
rather than his principles and his record? (Write him
directly for a record of his expenses, or check the
Congressional Record or the Secretary of State office of
your state.)
V Avoid the candidate who always spouts the party line
and has no political philosophy and ideas of his own.
).- Check the voting and absentee records in the legislatures
for incumbent candidates. (Check the Congressional
Record, newspaper reports, U.S. News and
World Report for U.S. Congressmen. Check your Secretary
of State office for records of state representatives.
Also consider how much they are in touch
with the people whom they represent.)
V Choose a candidate who is guided by his conscience
(to the extent that it is guided by Scriptural norms)
and a sense of justice, rather than what is good for his
political career.
V Determine whether the candidate understands that
separation of church and state does not mean separation
of religion and state (see POLITIKON, Jan.
30, 1972, "In Reply" p. 3.)
V Does the candidate recognize an authority beyond
man? (For one example, that life given by God is
sacred and therefore ' will vote against' liberalized
abortion laws.)
V To what extent is the candidate sensitive to God's
laws for justice and liberty?
V Make your own additions to this list and send us a
(We suggest that you cut out this list and post it
where you can refer to it in the next months.)

DrawingPage address: https://www.mnsu.edu/artdept/drawing.html
Drawing is an important component of the BFA program for students in all concentrations. Beginning drawing courses emphasize the development of solid perceptual drawing skills through rigorous explorations of drawing's materials and methods. Assignments encourage both traditional and experimental approaches to the medium as students confront challenges related to line, value, composition, and other important skills.
Intermediate and advanced courses build upon the skills learned in Drawing Foundations while introducing more personal and conceptual approaches to the medium. 200 and 400 level offerings in the area include both broadly-based drawing courses as well as life drawing. In all courses, students learn to view drawing as a problem-solving activity. Critiques of student work and discussions about drawing's role in contemporary art and art history fuel interesting conversations and encourage an ongoing dialogue about art making. At all levels, risk taking and experimentation are encouraged.
Students choosing to concentrate in drawing enroll in a sequence of courses that go beyond the basic drawing requirements of the BFA program. Through extensive engagement with the drawing medium, they develop a sophisticated and personal body of work that will prepare them for a career as a studio artist and allow them to successfully pursue opportunities in the arts after graduation.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., May 18 (UPI) -- A private spacecraft set for launch faces a series of tests and maneuvers before it will be allowed to dock with the International Space Station, officials say.
Scheduled to launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral Saturday, SpaceX's unmanned Dragon spacecraft will have to prove it's no threat to the station or the station's crew of six before it will be given the go-ahead to dock with the ISS, Florida Today reported Friday.
Until then the capsule will remain beyond the "Keep Out Sphere," a 220-yard safety zone that surrounds the orbiting space laboratory.
If systems tests and maneuvers are successful, SpaceX will be allowed to rendezvous with the station.
"This is pretty tricky. And also, for the public out there, they may not realize that the space station is zooming around Earth every 90 minutes, and it's going 17,000 mph," SpaceX Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said. "This is something that is going 12 times faster than a bullet from an assault rifle. So it's hard."
The test will also determine if the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket can put the cargo-carrying Dragon on course for the ISS and reserve enough fuel for the required maneuvers on the crucial test flight.

As both cars are completely covered it's hard to get a clear view of what the cars will look like. We're guessing the car on the left is the original Fisker Karma with the S Concept on the right. Thankfully, we've got the KORSdesign-penned Karma S Sunset rendering to fulfill our fantasies of drop-top hybrid driving. A fantasy we never knew we had.

HSBC has apologised to its customers who are suffering a second day of online banking glitches.
The bank said personal customers are experiencing problems logging in online, while business banking customers are having problems online and with the bank's mobile app.
The bank's personal mobile banking service is working, but customers may experience delays due to high demand.
In a message on Twitter, HSBC said: "Good morning, unfortunately we are experiencing further service issues with personal online banking, however our Mobile App is available."
It added: "We understand the inconvenience this is causing our customers and we are doing everything we can to restore service."
The bank has said no-one will be left out of pocket as a direct result of the problems. It said the hitches, which it is working to resolve, have not been caused by a cyber attack.
On Monday, HSBC said its business and retail customers were unable to access online and mobile banking, due to problems which started at 8am.
It later posted a message on Twitter to say that its online service was back up and running - to which one Twitter user replied: "Oh no it isn't!"
Other Twitter users vented their frustration on the website, with one saying: "Still unable to access online banking today, not great when you need to check bills have been paid after a long weekend!"
Another Twitter user wrote: "Seriously. It's beyond pathetic."
An HSBC spokeswoman said: "We are currently experiencing issues with our online and mobile banking. Personal mobile banking is working but due to high demand customers may experience delays.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and our teams continue to work non-stop to restore all services. Regular updates will be provided.
"We will ensure customers do not lose out as a result of this issue."

When the gas is optically thin, the radiation field at each radius is determined simply by geometrical dilution of the given source spectrum . Then, as shown by [Tarter Tucker and Salpeter 1969], the state of the gas depends only on the ionization parameter , where is the (energy) luminosity of the incident radiation integrated from 1 to 1000 Ry, is the gas density, and is the distance from the radiation source. This scaling law allows the results of one model calculation to be applied to a wide variety of situations. For a given choice of spectral shape this parameter is proportional to the various other customary ionization parameter definitions, i.e. ([Davidson and Netzer 1979]), where is the incident photon number flux above 1 Ry; , where is incident (energy) flux at 1 Ry; and (e.g. [Krolik McKee and Tarter, 1981]).
In the optically thick case, [Hatchett Buff and McCray 1976], and [Kallman 1983] showed that the state of the gas could be parameterized in terms of an additional parameter which is a function of the product of and either (the number density) or (the pressure), depending on which quantity is held fixed. In the case = constant, this second parameter is simply ([McCray, Wright and Hatchett 1977]). This parameter does not allow easy scaling of model results from value of to another, since the dependence on this parameter is non-linear, but it does provide a useful indicator of which combinations of parameter values are likely to yield similar results and vice versa.
When the electron scattering optical depth, , of the cloud becomes significant, the outward-only approximation used here breaks down, and different methods of describing the radiative transfer must be used (e.g. [Ross 1979]). Therefore, the range of validity of the models presented here is restricted to , or electron column densities cm.

LONDON -- A Scottish cardinal on Sunday acknowledged having engaged in unspecified sexual misbehavior, apologized for his actions, and promised to stay out of the church's public life in a statement that comes at an awkward time for the Vatican.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien had been Britain's highest-ranking Catholic leader until he resigned Monday from his position as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, a departure prompted by a newspaper report about unnamed priests' allegations that he acted inappropriately toward them.
O'Brien initially rejected the claims, saying he was resigning because he did not want to distract from the upcoming conclave of cardinals that is due to pick a successor to Benedict XVI, who resigned the papacy Thursday. O'Brien also became the first cardinal to recuse himself from the conclave because of personal scandal; other voting-age cardinals have in the past stayed home because of infirmity or because they were prevented by their governments from participating.
On Sunday, the Catholic church in Scotland issued a statement quoting O'Brien as saying that there had been times "that my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal."
"To those I have offended, I apologize and ask forgiveness," the statement continued. "To the Catholic church and people of Scotland, I also apologize. I will now spend the rest of my life in retirement. I will play no further part in the public life of the Catholic church in Scotland."
O'Brien gave no clue as to what exactly his sexual misbehavior consisted of, but his statement is nonetheless another reminder of the church's struggle shake off a litany of sex scandals, including those involving pedophile priests.
The claims against O'Brien were first reported by The Observer newspaper.
In its Feb. 24 edition, the British newspaper reported that O'Brien was alleged to have made what it described as "an inappropriate approach" to a seminarian after night prayers.
The paper also said another priest had reported "inappropriate contact" with O'Brien following a visit to his parish, a second priest had reported "unwanted behavior" by the archbishop following a late-night drinking session, and that a third had reported being taken advantage of when he went to the archbishop for counseling.
All four, the paper said, had sent letter of complaint to nuncio Antonio Mennini, the Vatican's ambassador to Britain, early last month.
The paper did not cite a source for its reporting last week, but in this Sunday's edition it quoted the still-unnamed former seminarian as saying that the church had failed to respond quickly and appropriately to his complaint.
O'Brien has at times had a rocky tenure as a cardinal.
In 2003, as a condition of assuming that rank, he was forced to issue a public pledge to defend church teaching on homosexuality, celibacy and contraception. He was pressured to make the pledge after he had called for a "full and open discussion" on such matters.
At the time, O'Brien said he had been misunderstood and wanted to clarify his position. But statements made last week, before the scandal over his behavior broke, suggested he never really changed his mind.
In an interview with the BBC, O'Brien said celibacy should be reconsidered because it's not based on doctrine but rather church tradition and "is not of divine origin."

Since the launch of the iPhone, the mobile market has experienced widespread change and innovation at a dizzying pace. Consider companies such as Apple and Google, for example, which have made tremendous strides in providing both consumer and enterprise mobile users with a superior user experience, intuitive interface, sleek design and exceptional app offerings. That said, during this same period from 2008 to 2012, BlackBerry actually was losing its core base of enterprise users because its devices were not perceived to be as innovative or feature rich. Many believed that BlackBerry had failed to recognize a shift in the market and changes in consumer preference; that is, until now with the launch of BlackBerry 10 (BB 10).
With BB 10, BlackBerry has brought its features back to a place where they are on par with the rest of the market. With this release, no one can say that BlackBerry offers inferior products. Moreover, the new features and functionality of BB 10 are certainly geared toward the enterprise user, as BlackBerry knows that it lives on this market. BB 10 is a tremendous step in the right direction to satisfy the enterprise's mobile wants and needs.
In this slideshow, Dipesh Mukerji, senior director of product strategy and marketing at Kony Solutions, takes a look at some of the top BB 10 enterprise security features that emphasize BlackBerry's commitment to its 80 million users, most of whom are business users.

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA- BLE: Always turn the engine off when refueling. Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust system when refueling. Never refuel while smoking or in the vicinity of an open flame. Never start the engine or let it run for any length of time in a closed area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of consciousness and death within a short time. Always operate your motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation. Always turn the engine off before leaving the motorcycle unattended and remove the key from the main switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following: The engine and exhaust system may be hot, therefore, park the motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas. Do not park the motorcycle on a slope or soft ground, otherwise it may fall over. Do not park the motorcycle near a flammable source, (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open flame), otherwise it could catch fire. When transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle, make sure that it is kept upright. If the motorcycle should lean over, gasoline may leak out of the fuel tank. If you should swallow any gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or allow gasoline to get into your eyes, see your doctor immediately. If any gasoline spills on your skin or clothing, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water and change your clothes

A Slice of Heaven: Washington, D.C.
Hey, Slicesters, Ed Levine here. If you follow this site regularly, you know we've been excerpting chapters and info from the pizza book I wrote, Pizza: A Slice of Heaven. Since Adam has been talking a lot about D.C. pizza as of late, I thought I'd post my chapter on the subject. Enjoy! —Ed
It was at Ella's Wood Fired Pizza, the first stop on my Washington, D.C., pizza tour, that I developed my owner-occupied pizza theory. I sat down at a table across from the beautiful, fire-engine-red, wood-fired brick oven and ordered a Margherita and a marinara pizza. I asked my waiter where Ella's got its mozzarella and sausage. He said he didn't know but would ask the chef, who was sitting at the bar. The chef then walked past my table on the way to the kitchen. I repeated the questions directly to him. He said, "I don't really know. I think the mozzarella comes from California, and the sausage, well, I don't have any idea. A lot of sausage comes from Pennsylvania, so maybe it's from there." This exchange did not fill my stomach with confidence; at the very least, a chef should know where his ingredients come from. Maybe he's new, I consoled myself, and his name couldn't be Ella. But there was no Ella in sight, and nobody else in charge.
Unsurprisingly, the pizzas were thoroughly mediocre. Much better than your run-of-the-mill slice place or chain, but nothing you'd travel even ten blocks for. Our next stop was Matchbox, which makes a big deal on its menu about its coal-fired oven and all the trips made to the great pizza emporia in New York. I ordered a medium half-plain, half-sausage pie, and asked our waitress where they got their mozzarella and sausage. She came back and said the guys making the pizza didn't know. Our pie arrived, and it was yellow, which meant they were using aged, not fresh, mozzarella. The sausage had a nice fennel taste, but the sauce was overpoweringly herbaceous. It tasted of dry, old oregano. The waitress came over and said they got their sausage from Sysco, a megasized food distributor. I appreciated her candor, but not the pizza. Once again I felt there was a pizza leadership vacuum at Matchbox. I was beginning to get discouraged about pizza in the District of Columbia. How could our nation's capital, full of college students, 20-somethings working on Capitol Hill, not to mention a hundred senators, 532 members of the House of Representatives, nine Supreme Court justices, and the president and vice-president not have at least a few solid slices? This state of affairs is unpatriotic, not to mention unregulated.
My next stop was Pizzeria Paradiso, located upstairs in a townhouse and touted as the gold standard of Washington pizzerias. It had a gorgeous woodburning pizza oven. Once again, however, there appeared to be no one in charge. My waiter, a genial sort, took my order, a Margherita made with half regular cow's-milk mozzarella and half water-buffalo mozzarella. It was a good sign that they had mozzarella di bufala, and a few minutes later the pizza arrived at my table. It had a high lip, a puffy and chewy crust, and very good hole structure. It was the first good pizza on the tour. Still, there was clearly no owner present.
When I asked my waiter about the mozzarella and the sausage, he went back to the kitchen and returned with, "We get the mozzarella the same place we get our goat cheese. The sausage we make ourselves, we fry it up every morning." Only in Washington, D.C., would they consider sausage taken out of a package and fried to be house-made.
I spent the night with our friends Merrill and Tim Carrington. I had called Merrill the night before I took the train to D.C., hoping she could pick up a pizza at 2 Amys, the highest-rated pizzeria in the Washington Post Dining Guide, because the place wasn't open on Monday, the day of my journey. Merrill, a wonderfully spiritual sort, was appalled by my plan. "We love 2 Amys, and it's five minutes from our house, but if you eat a day-old pizza from there, you can't possibly judge the quality of it. It won't be fair, and it's not right." I find it's hard to argue with really smart spiritual types, because they're invariably right. I asked if I could spend Monday at their house and pick up a pizza from 2 Amys at 11 a.m. on my way out of town.
We called in our order at 10:30 a.m., and I arrived at 11 to pick up my Margherita. It's a very pretty place, 2 Amys, with mustard-colored walls and high ceilings. It felt like a church of pizza. Most important, there was someone in charge, a dark-haired person barking out orders. "Will someone pick up that phone, please?" It turned out to be Tim Giamette, one of the owners.
He wasn't very friendly, but he clearly had the fever, and he was there, right when it opened, on a Tuesday morning at 11, when there was no one except me in there, and he didn't have to be. I asked him about the pizza, made in a white, dome-shaped, wood-burning oven. "We run a bakery. Everything is in the dough. All it is is flour, salt, and water. We make it fresh every day, roll it out by hand, stretch it and proof it twice. A great pizza starts and finishes with the dough. Everything else is secondary. If you do that right, everything falls into place. We use a combination of La Parisienne low-gluten flour, made by Gusto's in San Francisco, and regular King Arthur flour, fresh cake yeast, canned San Marzano tomatoes, which we drain and purée in a Mouli grater. We save the water and add it if we need to. We get our mozzarella, both the flor di latte and the mozzarella di bufala, three times a week. The pizza makers top the pie with a little sauce, some mozzarella. Our pies are minimally topped. They bake at 600°F for a couple of minutes. We are constantly adding wood because we need the flame to produce a convection effect in the oven. We get a little bit of char on the bottom and top of every pie. We got this pizza maker, Edan McQuaid, he's the best pizza guy on the East Coast. He's only 30, but he probably came out of his mother's womb making pizza."
I was glad to hear a pizza rant in Washington, D.C., by an on-the-premises owner of a pizzeria. Someone who cared and watched over the whole process. Just then my pie came out of the oven. They sprinkled some extra virgin olive oil on it and placed it gently in the box. It looked perfect. It tasted even better. It was perhaps the best traditionally Neapolitan-style pizza I've had in the States. But unlike Neapolitan pizza, it had a crisp crust, beautiful hole structure and just the right amount of char. It was a perfectly balanced pizza. I ate half and dragged the other half with me onto the subway to Union Station to catch the train back to New York. I opened the box and took a bite of one of the remaining slices. It still tasted great, a full hour after it was made. Another mark of a great pizza is that even an hour after it comes out of the oven, it still tastes like great bread with melted cheese and tomatoes and basil.
Maybe there is hope for the pizza in Washington, D.C. It has at least one owner-occupied pizzeria. All we need is a few more, so that I won't write to my congressman asking for federal pizza standards.

Seven years ago, Lenoir County Schools adopted the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) initiative to promote appropriate behavior in the schools.
Seven years ago, Lenoir County Schools adopted the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) initiative to promote appropriate behavior in the schools.
That initiative is likely the reason for decreased school violence rates in Lenoir County over the past two years.
In the 2010-11 school year, there were 49 violent acts committed, including 20 possession of weapon counts. The following year, violent acts had dropped to 38, including only eight of possessions of weapons.
The program, made up of teams from each school, examines behavioral data and implements the necessary criteria to achieve a change in discipline.
�It�s a really systematic approach,� said PBIS Coordinator Jill Croom, noting the process can take between three and five years.
The approach was introduced to Lenoir County in 2007, piloted in target schools across the state in six year before.
Lenoir County high schools didn�t implement PBIS until last year, but every elementary school and middle school was on board five years ago.
�(The schools) noticed that we needed to change the way we handle discipline in the schools,� Croom said. �The ultimate goals are to decrease inappropriate behavior and at the same time increase academic achievement. It rewards positive behavior.�
Each school literally spells out a matrix, indicating behavior expectations from students. At Southeast Elementary for example, PROPS stands for be Prepared, Respect others, maintain Order, respect Property, and be Safe.
�The PBIS matrix details exactly what our expectations are of every aspect of school, from the bust to the classroom,� said Nicholas Harvey II, Rochelle Middle School principal. �If they don�t meet expectations, we let parents know.�
Harvey said the incentives PBIS offers students correlates to the slight decrease in Lenoir County school violence.
�When kids are recognized for doing the right thing, it encourages them to continue to do the right thing,� he said.
He added administrators� visibility on campus prevents inappropriate behavior.
Rochelle � which will be recognized as a model school this year for implementing 90 percent of PBIS expectations school-wide � started its PBIS initiative four years ago and has since lowered the number of behavior referrals by 65 percent in three of those years.
�I would say I�m 100 percent satisfied with PBIS,� said Banks Elementary School Principal Cynthia Faulkner. �It�s really about teaching students the positives.�
Banks was spotlighted last year along with Moss Hill Elementary School for a 95 percent school-wide implementation of PBIS. Students are highlighted when they make good conduct grades or have a positive referral, which are sent home for parents to sign.
When PBIS teams meet each month, they discuss behavioral data and determine what measures need to be taken for each respective school. Teachers receive additional training on ways to deal with and identify behavioral issues that could lead to inappropriate conduct from students.
The most risky act of violence among LCS the last two years was possession of a controlled substance, totaling 18 for 2010-2012.
�Teaching expectations early on is a preventative measure,� Croom said. �PBIS has made a huge difference in the decrease (in school violence).�
