Youth symphony concert
displays state's finest
by Ellie Abbott
On Dec. 16th the Minnesota
Youth Symphony (MYS) will
perform in the Bethel fieldhouse
at 4 p.m.
MYS was incorporated in the
fall of 1972 as a non-profit organi-zation.
It has approximately 200
members in four orchestras who
attend 117 different public and
private junior and senior high
schools within a 110-mile radius of
the Twin Cities.
The goal of MYS is to provide a

In terms of health insurance,
most Bethel students are well-cov-ered.
Most parents have family
health insurance policies that
cover full-time college students
until they are 25. Bethel has a sup-plementary
health plan that pays
the excess of what is not covered
under these policies.
"Bethel's health plan is not
meant to be an individual in-surance
policy," said Paul Drake,
director of auxiliary enterprises in
business affairs at Bethel. "It is to
be used only as a supplement."
Because of this, students who are
not covered under their parents'
insurance only receive half of the
maximum benefits that others do.
For example, an emergency ap-pendectomy
would cost approxi-mately
$1500: $1000 hospital bill,
a $350 surgeon's fee, and a $150
anesthesiologist's fee. As most of
the hospital and surgeon's bill will
be covered by the student's family
policy, what is not paid for will be
high level of musical training and
experience for students through
study, weekly rehearsals, and per-formances.
Selections for the concert at
Bethel will include the Shostako-vich
First Ballet Suite, the Delius
Sleigh Ride and the Lutoslawski
Little Suite.
Tickets will be on sale at the be-ginning
of this week and they will
also be available at the door on
the afternoon of the concert.
paid by Bethel.
For the student without cover-age
under a family policy, benefits
would equal approximately $345
on the hospital bill and $225 on
the surgeon's fee. Bethel's health
plan is a supplement—it helps, but
in cannot cover all.
While not being covered under
a family plan can be critical, the
most crucial time for students
comes after graduation when they
are no longer covered by Bethel's
plan or their parent's policy.
"Most young people get jobs
where they are plugged into a
group insurance plan," said Jack
Ivance, representative of Ivance
Insurance Co. "There are times,
however, between graduation and
getting a job when an individual
will be without any coverage at
all." For these cases, there are in-surance
plans which can be pur-chased
on a short-term basis. "It's
very limited coverage," Ivance
continued, "but at least it gives
you something."

Remember last January when
Bethel's popular custodian, Keith
Tekautz, fell off his garage roof?
Keith says he doesn't even think
' about it now.
Besides a broken left arm and a
broken nose, Keith's left kneecap
was shattered. It had to be
surgically removed and recovery
was slow. He spent two months in
the hospital and another month at
"I do everything I did before—
only a little bit more cautiously,"
he said.

With the end of the decade ap-proaching,
the Clarion interview-ed
several Bethel faculty members
who have taught here through the
last 10 years.
The answres to the questions
posed by Clarion reporters reveal
much about the trends and
highlights of the decade. Just , as
importantly, the answers reveal
something of the personalities of
those interviewed.
The reporters responsible for
the article are: Julie Pflepsen, Pat-ty
Sutton and Shari Goddard.

Q. How have students changed
over the '70s?
A. "In terms of exercising the
20 years and he wouldn't change
jobs for anything. When alumni
return and see Keith jogging down
the halls they often say, "You're'
still here, huh?"
"I know what they mean," said
Keith, smiling. "People think

and you're doing it for the Lord,

are more liberal.
Q. What is a significant world
or national event of the '70s?
A. "The end of the Vietnam
war was significant because it led
students to go into a 'money-hun-gry'
education such as business or
Q. Who was a significant per-son
of the '70s?
A. "There were many people
that exemplify what it means to
practice a religious lifestyle. Mo-ther
Theresa from India might be
one such person."
Q. What was a predominant
mood-attitude of the '70s?
A. "After the .Vietnam war the
people turned inward to concen-trate
more on themselves. They
read more fantasy- and science-fiction-
types of literature. They
examined their own thoughts and
sensations more. Their Christiani-ty
seems to be introspective."
Q. How have you changed over
the '70s?
A. "I am liberal in terms of so-cial
and political issues. In some
theological issues I tend to be con-servative.
I'm against dominant
movements that are opposed to
the orthodox views such as the
judgment before God, hell, and
other biblical truths."
Q. How have academic stan-dards
changed over the '70s?
A. "Bethel has become more
demanding in academics."
Q. Has involvement/apathy
changed over the '70s?
A. "Students are always apa-thetic.
Christians seem to have
turned away from their evan-gelical
duties and are concen-trating
more on social issues.
We're becoming a self-centered,
individualistic, withdrawn
Q. Do you have any other corn-ments
abOut the '70s?
A. "The '70s have initiated us
into an exciting era, in terms of
technology and education. New
challenges such as nuclear energy
and moral issues have come upon
us strikingly. This is good if we
can remain biblical."
Don Larson
Since the late '60s, the student
concern for the world and their
place in it has diminished because
the conservative orinch of Chris-tianity
has communicated more in
the '70s than the liberal branch.
The most significant event on
the world scene was the initiative
of Sadat in opening up talks with
Begin. At Bethel, it was the se-lection
of a clean and vice-presi-dent

To the Editor:
We all know that there is a
problem of overcrowding here at
Bethel. There have -been numer-ous
complaints of overcrowded
dorm rooms and complaints that
we don't have sufficient facilities
to accommodate the number of
students in the various depart-ments.
Why isn't anyone bringing up
what I consider the most crucial
area of overcrowding, namely
overcrowding in courses.
I feel that by paying the amount
of money I do for tuition, I should
be entitled to at least my second
choice when registering for
courses, and then, I should only
have to suffer through my second
choice for no more than two class-es.
In other words, I should be
able to get my first choice for at
least two classes.
Yet last year for Interim, I got
my sixth choice. For Interim this

Bethel? He starved.
To the Editor:
The trauma of registration is
over. A few casualties still wander
the corridors, clinging to their
computer cards and calling, "It
can't be closed, it can't be
closed!" But, for the most part,
we have all survived. However, it
is for those broken few which I
make this petition.
Why should students pay
$5,000 to come to school here,
and not get into the courses they
want, or need? In a school of such
fine standing, shouldn't there be
enough classes with enough space
for those interested? Have our fa-culty
and or facilities become so li-mited
that we cannot provide stu-dents
with the opportunity to stu-dy
in their chosen field ?

went international."
Q. Who was the most significant
person of the '70's?

of the Patmos Petros"'

attitude/mood of the '70's?
A. "A kind of rampant, con-cerned

'70's, that rampant apathy, and it
has made me the way I am."
Q. Have academic standards
A. "Yes"
Q. How has involvement chang-ed?
A. "I'd rather not answer that

the famous words of
John Priestly, which were, "Rich
people sure have a lot of money."

Q. What was a significant world
or national event of the '70s?
A. "Watergate is the first thing
I think of when it comes to events
in the '70s."
Q. Who was a significant per-son

of Watergate."
Q. What was a predominant
mood/attitude of the '70s?

general mood around the country
or not, but I have noticed this at

A. "Bethel students are great
people to work with, but they
show apathy toward getting in-volved
or excited about what
other people are doing. For in-stance,
in the 10 years that I have
Dwaine Lind
been here, I have never seen Be-thel
students get excited about
homecoming. This is not only true
with sports but with all Bethel ac-tivities.
I don't know if this is a
national attitude or just at Bethel
but I have especially noticed it
over these past 10 years."
Dwaine Lind
Q. How have students changed?

ways that the rest of us have
changed. Right now I'm detecting
some conservatism."
Q. What was the most sig-nificant

A. a. at Bethel... "The move out
here; that and the growth."
b. Nationally..."What we're
seeing right now (in Iran), may
well turn out to be."

I'm more comfortable with
my own values."

Despite the lengthy bus rides, Hagstrom residents enjoy their
isolated existences on old campus (Photo Dan Velie).
Freshmen adjust to isolation on OC
by Jan Johnson
"I like living on old campus
because I can look outside and not
see school," said Beth Alvarez,
one of eight old campus residents
interviewed. She fairly summed
up what the rest of them said.
Most agreed that it was nice to
get away from school after the end
of a long day. Sandy Veen called
her dorm room "homey." In fact,
only one freshman said that he'd
prefer to live on new campus.
The people interviewed said
that the biggest problem was rid-ing
the buses to and from new
campus. It added up to about an
hour of wasted time a day, accor-ding
to general opinion. But even
riding the bus has its advantages.
Rebecca Reimer said that she got
to know a lot of people through
riding the bus.
Actually, there were only a few
times when people said that they'd
rather live on new campus: when
something was going on at the
new campus and they couldn't get
there for it; when they forgot
something at school; or, as Brad
Byker put it, "On cold
"Oh sure, there are a few pro-blems,
but things are being work-ed
out," said Reimer. Generally,
it was agreed that the advantages
outweighed the disadvantages.
The students said they felt
closer to the people they lived with
on old campus than they might

Ghosts haunt `stoodents'
by Charles Stricken a.k.a. Teresa Worrell
The Sunday before finals was a rowdy one. It culminated in a party in which ten of us sat around donuts
and hot cocoa remembering the best times of the semester—the pranks, the parties, and the raids. We all
had a good time, for we weren't studying. I went to bed that night without having opened a book.
The townhouse was quiet that night, but at midnight I awoke with a start. There was someone in my
room! He appeared to be a ghost, but was bound in chains and dragged an assembly line behind him.
"St000-dent," he wailed. I quaked in my bed. Surely he could not mean me! "St000dent," he repeated.
"Who are you?" I queried tenaciously.
"I am Joseph Party!" he screamed. I trembled in my bed, but my new roommate stayed fast asleep. "I
know you remember me," he continued, "I am the one who went out with you night after night, always to
have fun but never to study. You remember when I received my academic suspension and dismissal. And
now I am paying with this!" He gestured toward the chains and the assembly line. "I am here to see that
you don't make the same mistake," he continued, his voice softening.
"But I don't understand," I ventured weakly.
"You will!" He screamed. I glanced at my roommate, but he still slept.
"Tonight you will be visited by three ghosts. The first shall arrive when
the clock strikes one." With that, the ghost vanished. I trembled in my
bed for a few more minutes, then decided it must have been a dream and
went back to sleep.
I was abruptly awakened in what seemed like only a few moments.
One glance at the clock told me that it was one in the morning. Once
again, there was someone in my room. "St000-dent," he wailed.
"Who are you?" I queried.
"I am the ghost of procrastination past," he said. "I have come to
show you your study habits of the past. Come."
I was compelled to go. In an instant we were both transformed into
light beings traveling through time and space. We were looking upon
college life two months earlier. I found myself in this scene, as well as a
friend of mine. My friend was speaking as we ran about the campus.
"You know, I really should be studying," he said.
"Relax," I heard myself say. "You can't let academics interfere with
your social life!" I then realized how these words had boomeranged
back on me. I wanted to go back, but the ghost led me on.
In the next scene I saw myself wearing a toga and running about the
academic complex. Before I could make out any details, I saw flashes of
myself of Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and Country Kitchen. "No more!" I
pleaded, but the ghost led me on. I saw myself raiding late at night and
sleeping in, calling up DJ's just to talk, even playing solitaire to avoid
my studies. All the while, my books lay hopelessly forlorn on the shelf.
By this time I was on my knees begging to go home, so the ghost led
me back to my room. In an instant I was back in bed, shuddering
tremendously. In an effort to calm myself, I told myself that it was just
a bad dream. Reassured, I drifted off to sleep.
Moments later I awoke again. It was two in the morning, and once
again there was someone in my room. This was beginning to get an-noying.
"Who's there?" I challenged.
A deep voice boomed out of the darkness. "I am ghost of panic pre-sent!
I have come to show you your study habits of the present! Come!"
I pulled my quivering body out of bed and followed him through time
and space as I had, done earlier. Suddenly I saw myself there, nervously
biting my fingernails and scribbling away in a last mad rush to catch up
on my reading assignments. '
"Why, this was only yesterday!" I exclaimed. The ghost nodded, and
suddenly we were in the library. I saw myself there still, frantically try-ing
to cram on my lecture notes. "No more!" I cried. Understanding,
the ghost took me back to my room and left me. I thought only briefly
of the panic I had experienced lately, then drifted off to sleep.
Once again, I awoke with a start. It was now 3:00 a.m., and again
there was someone in my room. "Now who is it?" I demanded, a little
"I am the ghost of failure future," he wailed in a hollow tone. "I
have come to show you the results of your study habits. Come." I
followed him through time and space to a day early the next January.
I found myself down at my P.O. box. "Open it," moaned the ghost. I
opened the box, but was afraid to look inside. The ghost reached in and
pulled out a Bible exam. Written across the top in bold red ink was
"NC"—"No Credit." I reeled from the blow, but the ghost was relent-less.
He pulled out my psych exam, also marked NC.
"No more!" I cried. The ghost ignored me and reached into the box
again. I ran, but he had me cornered. Laughing hideously, he threw my
Anthropology paper in my face, stained with the dreaded NC. At once it
was as if I were bombarded with NCs, all of them red and angry. I
screamed and screamed.
Suddenly, someone was shaking me. I awoke in my bed, drenched in
sweat. My roommate was standing over me. "Are you all right?" he
"Yeah, I'm fine," I answered weakly. He turned and started to walk
"I'll let you go back to sleep then," he said over his shoulder.
"No, I can't do that," I said. "I've got to study."
Spoon-fed learners
need attitude change
by Ted G. Lewis
"In my country we have old saying," uttered a gentle Egyptian to me a month ago, "If a poor man is
hungry, don't just give him a fish, but teach him how to fish." Perhaps the original savor escapes the
translation, however, the significance of meeting more than temporal needs is clear.
Unfortunately, Bethel schools hundreds of starving students who are merely spoon-fed by their teachers.
What's more saddening is a prevalent approach to learning that fails to promote students to learn how to
learn for themselves. As a result, the student's identity is detached from their studies because they are not
personally involved in the learning process.
Are these rash conclusions? I don't think so. Recollect the last time you crammed for an exam, pulling an
all-nighter. Now, ask yourself why. Satisfied with your reason? Tell me, why do we dread studying and
make our prime goal to finish each obligation? But then why do we bend over backwards to know
something for our teachers and grades, with little concern for how our studies relate to ourselves. Why do
most Bethelites dominantly view the purpose of learning as a means to a smooth job for financial security?
(Bear with me, this article thrives on questions!)
Is it surprising that the American worker is similarly detached from his work? Let's discuss this topic as a
basis for understanding the former themes better. By 'detached' I mean two things. First, the worker's iden-tity
is rarely nourished and fulfilled by the actual "doing" side of his work. The second grows out of the
former: labor is solely the means whereby one acquires money to satisfy needs external to his job.
Karl Marx labeled it "estranged labor," noting the effects of industrialization. He recognized that pre-industrial
work affirmed the self-worth of a worker by involving him in the full creation of his product. A
shoemaker, for example, could express himself creatively as he designed, sewed and marketed his shoes. He
externalized his identity into his work. But when he was put on the assembly line to punch a row of holes in
a piece of leather, he lost touch with his product. If you lose touch with your work, you lose touch with
Consequently, human values were forced to change. When Marx saw how labor failed to affirm human
worth, he concluded that society exalts man's animal functions as all important (i.e., eating, drinking, sex,
recreation, etc.). Such hedonism demands affluency to be the only "real" value, thereby defining human-ness
in terms of the quantitative fulfillment of one's animal functions. And since money alone feeds such as
value, human worth is reduced to the utility of a worker, proportionate to his salary. The result: man's uni-queness
dies, his identity is lost, and labor, being idolized and despised, furthers a subtle dehumanization.
Now to draw the crucial parallel. Is the relation between the American student and his studies rapidly ac-cepting
a similar divorce? Substitute grades and degrees for paychecks, and teachers for bosses. Now can
you see how the persuasive goal of learning is primarily to complete requirements for the sake of securing
"nice" jobs. But why do we all want such nice jobs? In our ultra-individualistic society it's staggering to
acknowledge how self-centered our work and lives become!

Picky shopping habits
relieve tight budgets
by J.D. Kiaessy
For college students, particu-larly
those who live off campus,
grocery shopping can be a trial.
The main problem connected with
shopping is finding a store in the
vicinity that's affordable.
Recently five supermarkets in
the area were scrutinized in order
to determine which were cheapest
and closest. The five were,
Lund's, on North Silver Lake
Rd., Country Club, near Silver-crest,
The Country Store, in
Apache Plaza, Penny's, in Arden
Hills Plaza, and Applebaum's,
(formerly National) in Har Mar
In all five stores luxury items
such as milk, eggs, bread and yo-gurt
were all priced about the
same. However, the price of ne-cessities
varied a great deal.
(Necessities being: Twinkies, M &
M's, soft drinks, frozen pizza,
peanut butter, Tang and the
reliable mask-all catsup, or ket-chup
for you connoisseurs.)
Heading up the bottom of the
list is Applebaum's. High priced
but clean, this store is too far
away for anyone but those on old
Next to the bottom is Lund's.
While Lund's has a greater variety
than any of the other stores, its
prices are high. The produce is the
best in the area, and fairly reason-able,
but this loss is made up in
the meat department. (Rumor has

it, Lund's meat is more expensive
because they use a higher quality
red dye in their beef.) Seriously, it
is not the place to shop unless you
are a vegetarian, or want 24 dif-ferent
kinds of olives and seven
brands of smoked sardines.
While Penny's is close to cam-pus,
and its prices fair to mod-erate,
the personnel put it close to
Lund's for third to last.

The climax of this series will be
on Monday, Dec. 17, when
Swedish standbys (sausage and
potatoes) are combined with fare
from both the modern and early
American periods.
"There will be dishes familiar
to students from our fast food and
take-it-from-a-can culture
as well as foods their parents
would remember."
Erickson said there will be a
dessert table that students will not
believe, offering fresh fruits, a
20-pound block of carved cheese
and assorted sweets.
The cost of Monday night's
Smorgasbord has not been decid-ed,
though, as always, it will be
kept as low as possible.
Erickson and his staff chose the

What sort of approach to learning fosters our drive towards affluen-cy?
(Think back to the shoemaker.) It's an approach that never pro-motes
the integration of the student's identity with his studies. Rather,
learning is a passive accumulation of knowledge. One learns facts for a
quiz for a teacher for a grade, but not for-himself. That is product-oriented
learning quite distinct from process-oriented learning. This lat-ter
approach is concerned about people, not facts. It stressed the active
role of the student's mind to synthesize his studies with who he is.
The teacher's - role clarifies the difference between these two ap-proaches.
Product orientation sets the teacher as a standard of know-ledge
to move toward. Quantity of subject content is the priority. The
process perspective sees the teacher as a guide moving forward beside
the student. Highlighting the quality of learning process, he confronts
the student to discover through' disciplined thinking. The student
recognized as a unique individual is pushing to integrate what he learns
for himself, thereby discovering his identity.
Is this process approach too unrealistic for Bethel's educational
system? No it's not. Without denying the structure, a teacher can flavor
his subject to encourage students to think. Most teachers here advocate
these ideals, but few seem to actually practice them. What is lacking is
the proper employment of the question, serving as the basis for learning
as a process. Good questions demand unknowns which imply discovery,
hence involving the student. Show me a teacher who fails to ask sharp
intriguing questions, and I'll show you a poor teacher.
At this stage I pivot the challenge to students who do not appreciate
thinking. Most of us are products of the , apathetic 70's, undisturbed by
the same values that our predecessors of the 60's revolted against. They
thought! Campus scenes buzzed with discussions that stretched minds.
But we give minimal mental effort expecting maximum return, thereby
despising our studies because of no immediate gratification. I think the
root of this lethargy is the loss of our own identity. Who we are is solely
governed by exterior institutions of work and people.
The intention of this article is to provide thought in a covered yet cru-cial
area. I threw all the billiard balls at you to wake you up. Perhaps I
can throw them one at a time next year, providing a more objective sup-port.
Over the holidays (as well as final's week) I dare you to probe my
questions. Because, for crying out loud, if you truly are a unique in-dividual,
what are you on this planet for anyway? And what are you do-ing
now to discover who you really are through learning, in order to
develop toward your ambitions? Do you have any ambitions you can
call your own?
Presently, you face an inescapable choice: either exercise your mind
or let it grow flabby.

Seventies: Beatles take Wings; Billy Budds by Jan Johnson
"Sugar, Sugar" was a hit for
the cartoon characters known as
the Archies, the Beatles had just
released "Let It Be," and on
Broadway, Stephen Sondheim's
"Company" was the show to see.
The year was 1970.
As we prepare to move into the
'80s, let's take one last look at the
world of theatre and music as they
evolved in the last decade.
In 1971, two giant hits were
sweeping New York, and both of
them were based on the Gospels.
On Broadway, the rock opera
"Jesus Christ Superstar" was
drawing in the crowds and "God-spell"
was doing very well off-
Broadway. Both produced very
successful cast albums.
Here at home, the Guthrie was
having a very successful run with
Shakespeare's "Richard II," star-ring
Richard Chamberlain. It was
a successful year all around.
In the music world things
weren't going quite so well. The
Beatles had finally made their
break official. Although they may
not have been performing toge-ther,
they were still making music.
Paul McCartney formed Wings,
and Ringo Starr got together with
George Harrison for "The Con-cert
for Bangladesh."
In 1971 another group had a
good year. "How Can You Mend
a Broken Heart" became the big-gest
hit to date for the newly
reunited BeeGees.
While Alice Cooper was shock-ing
audiences with his simulated
killings onstage, 1972 became the
year of the "teen idol." Donny
Osmond was in "Puppy Love."
Michael Jackson had "Got To Be
There," and David Cassidy
wasn't sure. He just kept singing
"I Think I Love You."
Nostalgia was sweeping the na-tion.
Everyone wanted to get back
to that "good ol' rock-'n-roll."
Sha-Na-Na became big on the
concert circuit, and on Broadway,
the musical "Grease" was starting
its successful run.
In 1973, Bette Midler took nos-talgia
one step further when she

came out with her smash hit
"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," a
remake of the '40s hit. On a mel-lower
note, John Denver was giv-ing
everyone a "Rocky Mountain
In September, just two months
after "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"
had made No. 1, Jim Croce was
killed in an airplane crash. With
him went a very promising career.
The next year nostalgia fans
went even farther back as "The
Sting" brought back Scott
Joplin's music from the '20s. Jop-lin's
"The Entertainer" entertain-ed
thousands as it went to the No.
1 position.
Meanwhile, the latest thing to
do was "The Streak," as Ray Ste-vens
explained in his novelty song
by that name. Even Bethel wasn't
safe from these exhibitionists.
But Bethel didn't dwell on this
form of "entertainment." Interim
`74 saw one of Bethel's biggest
productions. "Fiddler on the
Roof" became the event of the
Bethel social season. "Billy
Budd," with its cast of 20 men,
was another successful production
of that year.
That same year, Professor
Rainbow organized his Colorful
Caravan, and the '74-'75 season
found them touring around the
Twin Cities area. That set the pace
for the next four years of the tour-ing
In 1975, near "Beatlemania"
was caused by a Scottish group
called the Bay City Rollers, whose
"Saturday Night" had everyone's
foot tapping.
But it was the BeeGees' "Jive
Talkin'" that started everyone
dancing. That and their follow-up,
"You Should Be Dancing,"
were the beginnings of the Disco
Big things were happening on
Broadway too. "A Chorus Line"
and "The Wiz" started bringing
people back into the theatre after
a three year slump.
The '75-'76 season at Bethel
was very good too. "Godspell"
did very well, and Professor Rain-bow's
Colorful Caravan made its
first European tour of military
Meanwhile, Van McCoy had
the country doing "The Hustle;"
C. W. McCall had everyone get-ting
into the CB act after his
"Convoy;" and Britain's "Sex
Pistols" were bringing "punk
rock" into the limelight.
Another big production came
to Bethel during interim of '77.
"Showboat," held in the old cam-pus
gym, was a successful follow-up
for "Godspell." The Caravan
also made its second European
On Broadway, the adventures
of "Annie" were making her pro-ducers
very happy. But the music
business lost the "King," when
Elvis Presley died in Memphis.
But life goes on, and in 1978,
the country had an epidemic of
"Saturday Night Fever." Led by
the BeeGees, disco music swept
the country. Hundreds of new dis-cos
appeared all over the U.S.
But there were other new
sounds too. Dolly Parton, voted
female country entertainer of the
year, moved over the border from
country to pop, and soon, "Here
You Come Again" was at the top
of the pop charts.
"Ain't Misbehavin"' became
the hit on Broadway, and at the
Guthrie the U.S. premiere of Ib-sen's
"The Pretenders" did very
well. At Bethel, "All My Sons"
was a success.
The '78-'79 season at Bethel
was very productive. Including the
three interim productions, seven
plays were given. "Lilies of the
Field" and "Cain" drew good
crowds in the fall, and "The
Three Sisters" and "The Fantas-ticks"
rounded out the year.
In 1979, while Supertramp was
having "Breakfast in America,"
the BeeGees organized a concert
for UNICEF, and donated all of
the profits from their hit record
"Too Much Heaven."
Here at Bethel, the theater sea-son
got off to a rather slow start,
but it picked up as word got out
that there were two "winners"
playing. "Antigone," for the dra-matic
set, and "Bereshith" for the
more informal crowd. Both were
professionally done.
Such was the theater and music
in the '70s.

Few may recall the popular music poll printed in the Clarion
two issues ago. Through a prominently-displayed box in the up-per
left-hand corner of page five we asked the readers of the
Clarion to choose the most popular song of the 1970's, as a sort
of kickoff to this week's nostalgic look at the decade. We hesitate
to announce a three-way tie for the most popular.

2-2 in non-conference games.
Some MIAC insiders have picked
the Royals to finish in the top
teams in the conference.
by Steve Erickson
Bethel's basketball team took
its longest road trip of the season
last weekend, traveling out west to
take on Eastern Montana and
Rocky Mountain College and
emerging with a split.
Eastern Montana was first in
line and the home team defeated
the Royals 76-63 on Friday. Bethel
quickly fell behind by 10 points.
"We were too conservative. We
decided to slow it down because
we had heard they were very
quick. But besides a couple
players we were probably
quicker," said Coach George
All of Eastern Montana's players
were under full scholarship, even
though it is a Division II school. It
plays many large schools this year
and hopes to move up to Division
I status next season.
With a big lead early, EM was
able to dictate how the game was
played. They went into a four-corner
delay offense for three-.
fourths of the game. Bethel did
narrow the gap to two points but
was down six at the half.
With four minutes remaining,
the Royals inched to within three
at 53-50 but Bethel was forced to
fouLand EM cashed in at the free
throw line.
Both games found Bethel in
foul trouble. "It was a different
style of officiating than what we
are used to. Sometimes it was
frustrating the way the game was
called," said Palke.
Saturday against Rocky Moun-tain
Bethel jumped to a 14-3 lead
using a press and an aggressive
man-to-man defense. In all Bethel
was charged with 22 fouls in the
first half alone but held a four-point

Bethel's wrestling team kept on
winning last week, crushing Gus-tavus
.31-7 and Concordia-St. Paul
38-14. The, junior vaulty also
looked strong in topping Golden
Valley Lutheran and Northwes-tern
on Saturday afternoon.
The Royal varsity dropped only
four matches—two in each contest
—in recording their third and
fourth wins of the season.
Three wrestlers, Rich Hodge,
Paul Frandsen, and Lonnie Holm-gren,
remained undefeated
through the weekend. Heavy-weight
Hodge with two wins up-ped
his record to 5-0 while Frand-sen,
at 142 lbs., collected a pin in
his only appearance for a 4-0
standing. Co-captain Holmgren,
wrestling at 158, is at 4-0-1 with a
win and a tie.
Friday Bethel won in the first
seven weight classes to jump out
to a 25-0 lead over Gustavus. Russ
Reynolds, Greg Widmer, and Jon
the- second half, the Royals went
out to a 17 margin. "They reacted
in a tough, frustrating situation
with a lot of poise," said Palke.
Dave Blanchard led the way
against the mountainmen with 25
points. Greg Edlund made eight
clutch free throws in nine attempts
to help put the game away. Four
players scored in double figures in
each game.
Scott Wilson is top point-getter
for the Royals so far this season
with a 16.5 average, but Blan-chard,
Rey Miller and Greg
Edlund have over ten points a
game while Gary Edlund averages
This weekend the cagers travel
to Deerfield, Ill. for the Trinity
College tournament. Dec. 27, 28,
and 29 they will participate in the
Augsburg tournament.
Martin all won close, come-from-behind
matches. Other winners
were Kirk Walters and Greg
"We cut down on our mistakes
from last weekend and wrestled
aggressively," said Coach Dave
Klostreich. "We were in better
shape than they were because we
scored in the third period."
Klostreich said Concordia was a
similar type of team as the Gus-ties,
and the score showed it.
Mike Jacoby wrestled for the
first time on Saturday, replacing
Frandsen, and collected a pin
against the Comets. He also added
two more falls in J.V. matches.
Brian Hallstrom won his first
match, too, a decision over a sea-soned
Concordia junior.
The next meet for the wrestlers
comes after break, Jan. 5 in the
Winona Invitational. Strength will
be added to the team as three in-dividuals
will become eligible

BOLTON'S Green Party have backed with unions in their criticism of Healthier Together.
Alan Johnson, leader of the Green Party in Bolton, hit out at the review yesterday — arguing the consultation was about cuts and not about improving services.
Mr Johnson said: "Our view nationally and locally is that we are opposed to the Government's proposals on the NHS along with the Healthier Together review.
"We want the best health service provision for Bolton but it is wrong to pit Wigan and Bolton against each other in this way.
"Services in Greater Manchester should not be put in competition. There will be no winners, only losers.
"This whole exercise is about saving money and not improving services. Every town and city should have a local hospital.
"We are the sixth richest country in the world. We can afford to provide good health services."
Mr Johnson's comments come after union chiefs slammed the Healthier Together consultation, which is waiting to be approved by NHS England.
Leaders of the Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat and UKIP groups in Bolton have all backed the Royal Bolton's bid to become a "super" hospital.
Healthier Together — who say the restructure could save up to 1,000 lives every five years — is proposing to give five hospitals in Greater Manchester specialist status.
All hospitals across Greater Manchester will operate as part of a "single service" where two local hospitals will share services with a specialist hospital.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/3/2013 (1625 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If there were a pied piper of jazz, it would be a woman playing a clarinet as jazz fans happily followed her wherever she led them.
And that woman would be Anat Cohen, who led happy jazz fans through many styles of music Sunday afternoon during the second of her three weekend concerts in the Izzy Asper Jazz Performances series.
Cohen showcased her clarinet playing by starting off with the Artie Shaw tune, Nightmare, with its incessant piano and drums behind the horn and letting the audience know Cohen is the modern-day stalwart of the horn, seen less often as a front-line instrument.
Cohen delights in the music and in the performance by her bandmates: pianist Jason Lindner, bassist Joe Martin and drummer Daniel Freedman.
She played tenor sax for the beautiful piece The Wedding by Abdullah Ibrahim, and soprano for the world music/jazz workout All Brothers by Freedman. Brothers opened with Lindner playing prepared piano for an Eastern feel before the entire band cooked its way through the tune, especially Freedman on a terrific extended drum solo.
Cohen likes to mix instruments, as well. She and special guest Grégoire Maret, the Swiss harmonica player, had a blowout on a Lindner tune, Anat's Dance, with each taking a great solo before the instruments melded in an unusual but beautiful sound.
Maret conjured that European café feel on his own composition Lucilla's Dream, as well as reminding listeners of the great Toots Thielemans, the Belgian harmonica player who helped make it a jazz instrument.

DETROIT - Detroit contractor Bobby Ferguson was back in court Monday to be arraigned on charges for allegedly conspiring to rig contractors for federally-funded projects.
Ferguson, who was found guilty of racketeering and corruption charges in a trial he faced alongside with Kwame Kilpatrick, is awaiting re-trail in May for a separate case on charges of conspiracy, money laundering and obstruction of justice.
READ: Ferguson indictment - March 25
He's accused of obtaining millions of dollars in public works contracts through false statements and bid collusion.
He's also accused of making false statements in a proposal as part of the Garden View Estates project, a public housing development in Detroit.
Prosecutors have also added a firearm charge to his indictment.
In court Freguson told the judge he isn't sure if he will hire an attorney on his own, or if he will ask the court to appoint an attorney.
Ferguson lost his attorney Gerald Evelyn for the case.
Evelyn filed a notice of withdrawal as counsel for Ferguson on Friday.
"I haven't had an opportunity to decide how I will move forward. At this point it's hard because I don't know who will represent me. It's going to take a new attorney a year to learn about my case and we don't have that much times," said Bobby Ferguson. "I only have on phone. I don't have access to a library. There is no place for me to talk business in order to hire an attorney."
Ferguson is being held in a Michigan federal prison while a judge weighs a bond request in the racketeering case. His attorney in the federal corruption trial told Local 4 that Ferguson is frustrated.
"He doesn't get frustrated easily, but it's just that he's got to do some things that it's very hard for him to do while he's locked up," said Gerald Evelyn, Ferguson's attorney. "He's a tough guy. He's a tough prayerful man. He's trying to manage a difficult situation as best he can."
Ferguson was originally indicted in 2010, but his original case ended in a mistrial in 2012.

- Kilpatrick, Ferguson found guilty on several counts

464 w/ and w/o foils — By Capt. Bill Pike —
June 2004
Cuttin' Edge Cat
|Part 2: While the cat without foils was more efficient at lower rpm, she was comparatively inefficient on the high end.
Other findings were also impressive. While the cat without foils was more efficient at lower rpm (quite likely because of lower underwater drag), she was comparatively inefficient on the high end and offered significantly less range. Note that 178 statute miles at 2900 rpm is nearly 67 percent less than the 266 statute miles the hydrofoil boat gets without its aft foil tilted. And it's darn near 60 percent less once the tilt toggle is deployed!
I struck one minor snag with the foil boat, however. While the cat without foils tended to plane seamlessly, as indicated by the smooth, parabolic ascent of its acceleration curve, the foil boat did some mild struggling between 12 mph and 25 mph, as indicated by the shallow pothole, both in the curve with the stern foil actuated and the one without. Again, this was probably due to the foils' extra underwater drag.
Then there was another problem. Most likely because my test boats had been topped off with questionable fuel prior to our comparison wring-out, the engines in both failed to turn up to a maximum-rated 3300 rpm. While this detail certainly cut performance, I don't think it skewed the message of my test results, especially since all four engines turned exactly the same rpm at WOT.
Conclusion? Without a doubt, next time I hit the trail for Tortola to charter a NauticBlue powercat, I'm holding out for super-fast, super-efficient hydrofoils—not just because they can optionally reduce running time, but because they'll save me a bundle on fuel.

Dickey strong for six New perch for Kirk, same hot bat Bullpen? Not so good
There have been lots of things contributing to the 13-9 start by the New York Mets. There's been David Wright, playing at an otherworldly level. Ruben Tejada's been great, and Daniel Murphy's been very good. Kirk Nieuwenhuis has been spectacular. They've outperformed their pythagorean expected record. They've only made six… Read More →

Look, I'm not even going to bother pointing out in any detail that the all-homegrown Mets lineup is a function of ownership's financial limitations. We all know, or should know, how we got here. The question is: what has this new, one-pronged approach brought the Mets? Adam Rubin pointed out… Read More →

The Mets added a pair of potentially useful pieces this evening, signing infielder Brad Emaus and outfielder Fred Lewis to minor league deals.

Public perception of Jason Bay hadn't changed yet, but he had been putting up a fairly decent year, with a 118 OPS+ so far. A few clutch hits, and people might have started to take his renaissance seriously. But that won't happen anytime soon. Bay was placed on the Disabled… Read More →

Laura Fletcher
Laura Fletcher had a glowing smile and an unforgettable sense of humor to match. She absolutely loved laughing, but it is her encouraging presence and consistent understanding that will be missed most.
Laura was a master of great climbing excuses, and she loved to comment on the days when the gravity was too high, or the air was too humid, or "We ate too much pizza last night." The effect was always to encourage those around her.
As a sophomore, Laura chose to finish her high school career by home schooling. At the end of her junior year, she enrolled at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis to pursue a career in nursing. A scientific thinker and a top student, Laura became a Certified Nursing Assistant. She loved being able to care for patients.
Laura began climbing in February 2007 at a local gym. Once she went climbing outside, her new hobby changed into a lifestyle, and she spent most of the summer taking trips to the Red. When school started again, she drove down to the Red almost every fall weekend.
Her favorite style of climbing was on "Red River slab routes," which really means vertical. Such lines included Whip Stocking (5.11a) and Random Precision (5.11b). Most of all, she enjoyed being part of the climbing community. Laura was selfless and humble and will be dearly missed.

John Bunyan
John Bunyan (28 November 1628 – 3 August 1688) was a Christian writer and preacher, born at Harrowden, in the Parish of Elstow, England, most famous for the allegorical work The Pilgrim's Progress.
- See that your cause be good, else Christ will not undertake it.
- The Work of Jesus Christ as an Advocate
- When a man's cause is good, it will sufficiently plead for itself, yea, and for its master too.
- The Work of Jesus Christ as and Advocate
The Pilgrim's Progress (1678)[edit]
- Pilgrim's Progress (1847 edition), edited by George Offor; also in The Works of John Bunyan, Volume 3 (1855) edited by George Offor The original work was not divided into chapters; chapter titles used here are from later editions, for convenience in keeping quotes and passages in sequential order.
Part I[edit]
- And so I penned
It down, until at last it came to be,
For length and breadth, the bigness which you see.
- Apology for his Book
- Some said, "John, print it;" others said, "Not so."
Some said, "It might do good;" others said, "No."
- Apology for his Book
- The name of the slough was Despond.
- Part I, Ch. II : The Slough of Despond
- Now I saw in my dream, that the highway, up which Christian was to go, was fenced on either side with a wall, and that wall was called salvation. Up this way, therefore, did burdened Christian run, but not without great difficulty, because of the load on his back. He ran thus till he came at a place somewhat ascending; and upon that place stood a cross, and a little below, in the bottom, a sepulchre. So I saw in my dream, that just as Christian came up with the cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, and fell from off his back, and began to tumble, and so continued to do till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre, where it fell in, and I saw it no more.
- Part I, Ch. VI : The Cross and the Contrast
- Every fat must stand upon its own bottom.
- Part I, Ch. VI : The Cross and the Contrast; comparable to: "Every tub must stand upon its bottom", Charles Macklin, The Man of the World, act i. sc. 2
- The palace Beautiful.
- Part I, Ch. VII : The Palace Beautiful
- But now in this Valley of Humiliation poor Christian was hard put to it, for he had gone but a little way before he espied a foul Fiend coming over the field to meet him; his name is Apollyon. Then did Christian begin to be afraid, and to cast in his mind whether to go back, or to stand his ground. But he considered again, that he had no Armor for his back, and therefore thought that to turn the back to him might give him greater advantage with ease to pierce him with his Darts; therefore he resolved to venture, and stand his ground. For thought he, had I no more in mine eye than the saving of my life, 'twould be the best way to stand.
So he went on, and Apollyon met him. Now the Monster was hideous to behold, he was cloathed with scales like a Fish (and they are his pride) he had Wings like a Dragon, feet like a Bear, and out of his belly came Fire and Smoke, and his mouth was as the mouth of a Lion. When he was come up to Christian, he beheld him with a disdainful countenance, and thus began to question with him.
- Apollyon: Whence come you, and whither are you bound?
- Christian: I am come from the City of Destruction, which is the place of all evil, and am going to the City of Zion.
- Apollyon: By this I perceive thou art one of my Subjects, for all that Country is mine; and I am the Prince and God of it. How is it then that thou hast run away from thy King? Were it not that I hope thou mayest do me more service, I would strike thee now at one blow to the ground.
- Christian: I was born indeed in your Dominions, but your service was hard, and your wages such as a man could not live on, for the wages of Sin is death; therefore when I was come to years, I did as other considerate persons do, look out if perhaps I might mend my self.
- Apollyon: There is no Prince that will thus lightly lose his Subjects, neither will I as yet lose thee. But since thou complainest of thy service and wages be content to go back; what our Country will afford, I do here promise to give thee.
- Christian: But I have let myself to another, even to the King of Princes, and how can I with fairness go back with thee?
- Apollyon: Thou hast done in this, according to the Proverb, Changed a bad for a worse: but it is ordinary for those that have professed themselves his Servants, after a while to give him the slip, and return again to me: do thou so to, and all shall be well.
- Christian: I have given him my faith, and sworn my Allegiance to him; how then can I go back from this, and not be hanged as a Traitor?
- Apollyon: Thou didst the same to me, and yet I am willing to pass by all, if now thou wilt yet turn again, and go back.
- Christian: What I promised thee was in my nonage; and besides, I count that the Prince under whose Banner now I stand, is able to absolve me; yea, and to pardon also what I did as to my compliance with thee: and besides, (O thou destroying Apollyon) to speak truth, I like his Service, his Wages, his Servants, his Government, his Company, and Country better than thine: and, therefore, leave off to perswade me further, I am his Servant, and I will follow him.
- Apollyon: Consider again when thou art in cool blood, what thou art like to meet with in the way that thou goest. Thou knowest that for the most part, his Servants come to an ill end, because they are transgressors against me, and my ways. How many of them have been put to shameful deaths! and besides, thou countest his service better than mine, whereas he never came yet from the place where he is, to deliver any that served him out of our hands; but as for me, how many times, as all the World very well knows, have I delivered, either by power or fraud, those that have faithfully served me, from him and his, though taken by them, and so I will deliver thee.
- Christian: His forbearing at present to deliver them, is on purpose to try their love, whether they will cleave to him to the end: and as for the ill end thou sayest they come to, that is most glorious in their account. For for present deliverance, they do not much expect it; for they stay for their Glory, and then they shall have it, when their Prince comes in his, and the Glory of the Angels.
- Apollyon: Thou hast already been unfaithful in thy service to him, and how doest thou think to receive wages of him?
- Christian: Wherein, O Apollyon, have I been unfaithful to him?
- Apollyon: Thou didst faint at first setting out, when thou wast almost choked in the Gulf of Dispond; thou didst attempt wrong ways to be rid of thy burden, whereas thou shouldest have stayed till thy Prince had taken it off: thou didst sinfully sleep and lose thy choice thing: thou wast also almost perswaded to go back, at the sight of the Lions; and when thou talkest of thy Journey, and of what thou hast heard, and seen, thou art inwardly desirous of vain-glory in all that thou sayest or doest.
- Christian:All this is true, and much more, which thou hast left out; but the Prince whom I serve and honour, is merciful, and ready to forgive: but besides, these infirmities possessed me in thy Country, for there I suckt them in, and I have groaned under them, been sorry for them, and have obtained pardon of my Prince.
- Apollyon: Then Apollyon broke out into a grievous rage, saying, I am an enemy to this Prince: I hate his Person, his Laws, and People: I am come out on purpose to withstand thee.
- Christian: Apollyon beware what you do, for I am in the King's Highway, the way of Holiness, therefore take heed to your self.
- Apollyon: Then Apollyon straddled quite over the whole breadth of the way, and said, I am void of fear in this matter, prepare thy self to die, for I swear by my Infernal Den, that thou shalt go no further, here will I spill thy soul; and with that, he threw a flaming Dart at his breast, but Christian had a Shield in his hand, with which he caught it, and so prevented the danger of that. Then did Christian draw, for he saw 'twas time to bestir him; and Apollyon as fast made at him, throwing Darts as thick as Hail; by the which, notwithstanding all that Christian could do to avoid it, Apollyon wounded him in his head, his hand and foot; this made Christian give a little back: Apollyon therefore followed his work amain, and Christian again took courage, and resisted as manfully as he could. This sore combat lasted for above half a day, even till Christian was almost quite spent. For you must know that Christian by reason of his wounds, must needs grow weaker and weaker.
Then Apollyon espying his opportunity, began to gather up close to Christian, and wrestling with him, gave him a dreadful fall; and with that, Christian's Sword flew out of his hand. Then said Apollyon, I am sure of thee now, and with that, he had almost prest him to death, so that Christian began to despair of life. But as God would have it, while Apollyon was fetching of his last blow, thereby to make a full end of this good Man, Christian nimbly reached out his hand for his Sword, and caught it, saying, Rejoice not against me, O mine Enemy! when I fall, I shall arise; and with that, gave him a deadly thrust, which made him give back, as one that had received his mortal wound: Christian perceiving that, made at him again, saying, Nay, in all these things we are more than Conquerors, through him that loved us. And with that, Apollyon spread forth his Dragon's wings, and sped him away, that Christian saw him no more....

The Boy was in very mean Cloaths, but of a very fresh and well-favoured Countenance, and as he sate by himself he sung. Hark, said Mr Greatheart, to what the Shepherd's boy saith. So they hearkened, and he said—
- He that is down needs fear no fall;
He that is low, no pride;
He that is humble, ever shall
Have God to be his guide.
I am content with what I have,
Little be it or much:
And, Lord, contentment still I crave,
Because thou savest such.
Fulness to such a burthen is,
That go on pilgrimage;
HERE little, and HEREAFTER bliss,
Is best from age to age.
- "The Shepherd Boy's Song", in Part II, Ch. VI : The Valley of Humiliation; comparable to: "I am not now in fortune's power: He that is down can fall no lower", Samuel Butler, Hudibras (1663), Part i, Canto iii, Line 877
- He that is down needs fear no fall;
- Gaius also proceeded, and said, I will now speak on the behalf of women, to take away their reproach. For as death and the curse came into the world by a woman, Gen. 3, so also did life and health: God sent forth his Son, made of a woman. Gal. 4:4. Yea, to show how much they that came after did abhor the act of the mother, this sex in the Old Testament coveted children, if happily this or that woman might be the mother of the Saviour of the world. I will say again, that when the Saviour was come, women rejoiced in him, before either man or angel. Luke 1:42-46. I read not that ever any man did give unto Christ so much as one groat; but the women followed him, and ministered to him of their substance. Luke 8:2,3. 'Twas a woman that washed his feet with tears, Luke 7:37-50, and a woman that anointed his body at the burial. John 11:2; 12:3. They were women who wept when he was going to the cross, Luke 23:27, and women that followed him from the cross, Matt. 27:55,56; Luke 23:55, and sat over against his sepulchre when he was buried. Matt. 27:61. They were women that were first with him at his resurrection-morn, Luke 24:1, and women that brought tidings first to his disciples that he was risen from the dead. Luke 24:22,23. Women therefore are highly favored, and show by these things that they are sharers with us in the grace of life.
- Part II, Ch. VIII : The Guests of Gaius
- There stood a man with his sword drawn, and his face all over with blood. Then said Mr. Great-Heart, Who art thou? The man made answer, saying, I am one whose name is Valiant-for-truth. I am a pilgrim, and am going to the Celestial City.
- Part II, Ch. XI : Mr. Valiant-For-Truth
- I fought till my sword did cleave to my hand; and then they were joined together as if a sword grew out of my arm; and when the blood ran through my fingers, then I fought with most courage.
- Part II, Ch. XI : Mr. Valiant-For-Truth
He who would valiant be,
Let him come hither;
One here will constant be,
Come wind, come weather
There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
His first avow'd intent
To be a pilgrim.
Whoso beset him round
With dismal stories,
Do but themselves confound;
His strength the more is.
No lion can him fright,
He'll with a giant fight,
But he will have a right
To be a pilgrim.
Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
Can daunt his spirit;
He knows he at the end
Shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, fly away,
He'll not fear what men say;
He'll labour night and day
To be a pilgrim.
- Part II, Ch. XI : Mr. Valiant-For-Truth
Then Mr. Honest called for his friends, and said unto them, I die, but shall make no will. As for my honesty, it shall go with me; let him that comes after be told of this. When the day that he was to be gone was come, he addressed himself to go over the river. Now the river at that time over-flowed its banks in some places; but Mr. Honest, in his lifetime, had spoken to one Good-conscience to meet him there, the which he also did, and lent him his hand, and so helped him over. The last words of Mr. Honest were, Grace reigns! So he left the world.
After this it was noised abroad that Mr. Valiant-for-truth was taken with a summons by the same post as the other, and had this for a token that the summons was true, "That his pitcher was broken at the fountain." When he understood it, he called for his friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder. When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the river-side, into which as he went, he said, "Death, where is thy sting?" And as he went down deeper, he said, "Grave, where is thy victory?"
So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.

Quotes about John Bunyan[edit]
- Those who project total responsibility for their actions on heredity circumstances fail to see that numerous individuals rise above such circumstances. There is a John Bunyan, deprived of his physical sight, and yet he wrote a Pilgrim's Progress that generations will cherish so long as the cords of memory shall lengthen.
- Martin Luther King Jr., in his sermon "Accepting responsibility for your actions" (26 July 1953)
- Was not John Bunyan an extremist? — "I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience". . . So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice? In that dramatic scene on Calvary's hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime — the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.
- Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail (1963)

I accidently ordered the wrong tables . I ordered ADA compliant and did not mean too! I have already assembled the two tables . Any way I can buy just the missing two seats and mounting hardware ?

Because these are ADA compliant tables, it was purposely built with a seat missing for wheelchair access. There is really no way to add a seat because the frame of the table isn't set up to accept a fourth seat. You can return that item and purchase item # 277150GN instead. Thank you.
