I am very happy with the colors and feel of the rug. Having a rug pad is nice since it is thin but seems to be nice quality. My biggest problem is the creases throughout the rug from the way it was packaged. It's been several weeks and I can still see the creases after setting heavy items on the rug multiple times.

Richard Branson's advice on how to market your business cheaply is currently making the rounds on social media. It's great advice. My distillation:
1) Know your core values - the reason why you do what you do - and communicate them.
2) As an entrepreneur or business owner, you should be the one driving - and be the face of - your company's marketing.
3) Use social media to engage with your customers in an authentic and fun way and listen to feedback to understand how you can do things better.
4) Enjoy what you do and share that enthusiasm.
Wonderful advice. Very inspirational. I am momentarily uplifted.
Reality Check
I would add some items to Sir Richard's list. My suggestions are:
- Improve your communication skills. All of them. Practice speaking in groups. Enhance your writing ability. Focus on listening and understanding. Richard Branson would not have been effective if he were not a good communicator. He was a poor student academically and has dyslexia but has a great ability to connect with people. The ability to connect with others in a variety of contexts is a must for entrepreneurs.
- Be creative. We are all born creative beings. Our innate creativity often becomes suppressed by our parents, peers, educational system and sadly, by our own selves. Embrace creativity and open your mind to new perspectives. When you limit your thinking, you limit your growth.
- Persist. We may not have the resources or the natural talent or the charisma of Sir Richard, but we can choose to persist. If you truly believe that what you're doing is reflective of your core values and you want to make your own personal dream come true, then persist.
- Accept that you can't (or shouldn't) do everything. Branson didn't build his business empire on his own. He has had help all along the way. His mother re-mortgaged the family home to pay for unpaid taxes and fines that Sir Richard's record company racked up in 1971. Even though Branson is a visionary, there are many other people who have contributed to his current success.
Building a team of people you can rely on for your business is crucial to your success. Chances are you can't do everything well. Focus on what you're good at and let your team help you with the rest.
Everyone knows the path of entrepreneurship is not easy. It's a special person who chooses this path. It's great to be uplifted by the many great thinkers of our time, but when reality strikes, it's you who is going to have to put in the countless hours of work to make your dream come true.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, said Friday U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., "supported al-Qaida" in the Syrian civil war.
Gohmert made the accusation during a speech at the annual Values Voters Summit in Washington, while criticizing McCain for having said earlier in the day Republicans shut down the federal government "on a fool's errand that we were not going to accomplish," to defund the Affordable Care Act.
"When it comes to the shutdown that's going on, I heard just before I came some senator from Arizona, uh, a guy that liked [former Libyan dictator Moammar] Gadhafi before he wanted to bomb him, a guy that liked [former Egyptian President Hosni] Mubarak before he wanted him out, a guy that's been to Syria and supported al-Qaida and rebels, but he was saying today the shutdown has been a fool's errand," Gohmert said, eliciting boos at the reference to McCain. "And I agree with him. The president and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid should not have shut this government down!"
McCain made his remarks about the shutdown during an interview with Fox News, in which he criticized the White House for its handling of the budget and shutdown, but told Fox "a little straight talk" was needed.
"They wouldn't have had the opportunity to handle it that way if we had not shut down the government on a fool's errand that we were not going to accomplish," McCain said. "The whole premise of shutting down the government was the repeal of Obamacare."
An aide told The Hill McCain would not dignify Gohmert's remark about al-Qaida with a response.
During the Fox interview, McCain said Republicans "better wake up," in response to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, showing 24 percent of Americans support Republicans, an all-time low.
"Defunding Obamacare is not achievable so let's not delude our supporters by telling them that it is under the present circumstance, because elections have consequences," he said.
McCain did, however, say entitlement and tax reform will be achieved during negotiations on extending the federal borrowing limit, set to expire next week.
"I guarantee it," he said.

With retailers feeling jittery about business prospects over the second half of the year, many are expected to ring in their online holiday campaigns early -- even before Halloween.
Almost half -- 49% -- say they will launch their first online holiday campaign before the ghosts and sexy nurses have finished marking Halloween, online traffic-tracking firm Experian Marketing Services' first such survey of 212 retail marketing executives found.
Still, the most popular time to introduce campaigns overall is during the first 15 days of November, before the crucial Thanksgiving and Black Friday holiday weekend. The survey covers both online and brick-and-mortar operations.
"Retailers have been extending the shopping seasons with promotions, post-recession," said Bill Tancer, Experian's general manager of global research. "This year's Back to School season started in early July as a big promotional month versus last year. We expect the early promotion trend to carry over into the holiday season with Black Friday deals being offered even earlier than last year."
In terms of the way retailers are marketing to shoppers on the Web, 59% of them said they will be using online displays, followed by 55% of them citing email marketing. Print advertising comes in third place with 46%. In comparison, only 24% of marketers cited mobile marketing as a key holiday marketing channel.
Holiday sales are expected by some to be the worst since 2009. With only 25 days between Black Friday and Christmas this year -- seven fewer than in 2012 --and Hanukkah starting 11 days earlier this year, on the same day as a late Thanksgiving, retailers may feel the pressure to bring their holiday pitches forward, with promotions likely beginning as early as the day after Halloween, mall traffic tracker ShopperTrak said this week.
The Experian survey showed 70% of marketers said they plan to use some sort of online promotional offer this holiday season. Free shipping, cited by 39% of retailers, ranked as the top promotional tactic, followed by deal-of-the-day offers and e-coupons. While retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Toys "R" Us have touted free layaway offers, only 3% of executives surveyed say they plan to resort to layaway.
A confident 28% of respondents said they don't plan to offer any promotions this holiday.
While mobile didn't rank as a top marketing priority, 43% of retail respondents said they plan to develop "mobile optimized websites," followed by "mobile optimized email."

text: Continued the storyline of the lost father of magic, Garacaius. Believing that magic was a source of conflict, Garacaius fled his kingdom and founded a new empire based on science and engineering, as opposed to magic. This new empire, Creon, quickly dominated the neighboring provinces and absorbed the knowledge of their conquests. Garacaius himself died, but the elected ruler of Creon (in a steam-powered robotic suit) eventually led the kingdom on a crusade against magic and the magical sibling rulers of Darien. The expansion pack added an entirely new faction to the game (the science and engineering kingdom of Creon), as well as hundreds of new maps and entirely new graphics for map tile sets. It included the newest patch for the game, although anyone could freely download this from the official site.

We have an extensive library of information on various topics concerning Mormonism, that are available for you to study.
Go To The Topical Index »
Welcome to Mormon Missions Midwest Outreach. We are a ministry that reaches out to Mormons and educates the Body of Christ, the church, about the false teachings of Mormonism.
Jesus said in Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets…" That word "Beware," prosecho, in the Greek, means to "pay attention to; be cautious about; to give or take heed (to, unto)." Beware is an action word. When the Lord set Paul on his mission to "the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:" he didn't tell him just to pray for these people; He set him on a path of action.
Did Paul pray for those he was sent to reach with the Word? Absolutely! Prayer opens doors; but, prayer doesn't walk through them, we do. We pray that the Mormon people will come to know the Jesus of the Bible; we also actively confront their false teachings with God's Word the Bible.
Just as important, if not more important, is reaching Christians and non-Christians alike, with the truth that Mormonism is a false teaching. The false, unique doctrines of Mormonism came into being through repeated visits by various angels appearing to Joseph Smith. What does the Bible say about this: Galatians 1:8 "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." This ministry stands to confront that "other gospel" being preached by Mormonism.
Few things in life are harder to handle than religious betrayal. Read More »
This short video with Rocky and Helen Hulse will get you familiar with their history and the purpose of Mormon Outreach

The nominees for the 83rd annual Academy Awards were announced Tuesday with popular stars like Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, and James Franco all receiving recognition for their work on the big screen. While much of the focus of Hollywood's biggest night typically falls on such high-profile actors and actresses, room is also made for the contributions that musicians make to the movies.
This year's nominees for Best Original Song include perennial contenders like Randy Newman and Alan Menken, as well as newcomers like Dido and country music songwriter Tom Douglas. Also, in the short list for Best Original Score, industrial rock icon Trent Reznor leads the pack for his work on the Facebook-inspired drama "The Social Network."
However, residing on the flip side of all this hoopla are the Razzies (aka the Golden Rasberries). Now entering their 31st running, these so-called awards are given to lucky winners in recognition of the year's worst contributions to film, and are handed out at a "deliberately low-end and tacky" show the night before the Oscars.
Strangely, while featuring most of the same categories as the Academy Awards, and even a few of their own invention ("Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property," "Worst Excuse for an Actual Movie (All Concept/No Content!)," "Worst Eye-Gouging Mis-Use of 3-D," etc.), for the past nine years the Razzie's have not featured an award for worst music or song.
Why is this? Oddly, no one seems to know. According to a recent article on MTV.com, such awards were given out at the Razzies from 1980-1999 but no longer. Apart from a one-off appearance in 2002 (take that Britney Spears!), the categories seem to have been simply discontinued, which begs the question, why?
It is not like there is a shortage of bad movie music out there. Does anyone remember 2007, when songs from Disney's live-action fairy tale "Enchanted" scored three of the five nominations for Best Original Song? Or how about 2008 when Bruce Springsteen was snubbed for his ballad "The Wrestler"? Sure, the winner that year was "Jai Ho" from eventual Best Picture winner "Slumdog Millionaire," but The Boss couldn't even get a nomination? Somewhere in New Jersey grown men are crying.
See the video for Bruce Springsteen's "The Wrestler" here:
As many longtime viewers of the Academy Awards and Grammys can attest, voting boards rarely get it right when choosing entertainment-based winners. That is why more than ever an institution like the Razzies is needed to weigh in on what/ who shouldn't win, especially when the choice comes to music. I mean, who else is there for such a job? MTV?
Interestingly, the same year he was snubbed at the Oscars, Springsteen was actually nominated at MTV's movie awards for his song mentioned above. However, in perhaps a crueler twist of fate than that inflicted upon him by the Academy, he lost…to Miley Cyrus. Yep, you read that right. If you need me, I'll be at the Stone Pony drowning my sorrows.
Don't miss the Oscars live on ABC, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m., and see who took home a Razzie the night before by checking out www.razzies.com.

must have several properties to be admitted to the logic as a new
The key property a recursive definition must have is that the recursion terminate. This, along with some syntactic criteria, ensures us that there exists a function satisfying the definition.
Termination must be proved before the definition is admitted. This is done in general by finding a measure of the arguments of the function and a well-founded relation such that the arguments ``get smaller'' every time a recursive branch is taken.
app the measure is the ``size'' of the first argument,
as determined by the primitive function
acl2-count . The
well-founded relation used in this example is
, which is the standard ordering on the ordinals less than
``epsilon naught.'' These particular choices for
app were made
``automatically'' by ACL2. But they are in fact determined by
various ``default'' settings. The user of ACL2 can change the
defaults or specify a ``hint'' to the
defun command to
specify the measure and relation.

5 Things+then some (a F.O., even!)
I was tagged by Into the Fray quite awhile ago! I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy. These 5 things might not fall into the 'weird' category, but they are frivolous little factoids about me that the average Skrilla dabbler might not come across.
1. I have always had a love affair with magazines. I used to think that I wanted to be a magazine journalist and pursued this for about 2.5 years in college. I made a zine in high school called Wit's Ashtray under the pen name Rebel Without Applause. A highlight was when a local (this was in Germany) hardcore band mentioned it at a show of theirs while I was in the audience. Now I just cut my mags up and use them for design inspiration. Here are some pages from my notebook that is full of these clippings:
2. I have a serious salt problem. I often joke that I want a salt lick, like a deer. Eric is always begging me to go easy, and he's right. It's in my blood (no blood pressure pun intended), my Nana loves her salty Italian cold cuts and Dirty Martinis. For me it's salt and vinegar chips, French Fries (with mayo no less, what's up heart disease??) and popcorn. I get by with nutritional yeast sometimes.
3. I am fastidious about school/office supplies and anything related to them. This is slightly OCD, but I can't bear smudges, crinkled edges, sudden pen color switches. I once wrote and performed a song (spontaneously) that sums up the level of crazy this involves--it's called 'Tape Lamination' and it is sung to the tune of the Bee Gee's 'More than a Woman'. Crazy, I know, but when I spill coffee on my notebooks I just WIPE it off!
4. I actually hate shopping. I am very sad that my beloved local Trader Joes is getting more and more crowded. It used to remind me of the old mini-market exhibit at the Boston Children's Museum. I am in love with Internet shopping because it allows me to A. not drive, B. comparison shop until I'm blue in the face without getting the eye from store owners, C. support friends with stores and fellow crafters, D. act like Veruca Salt and get basically anything I want in the world. I know that sounds terrible, and fear not, I support local merchants as often as I can but places like Ex Libris Anonymous and the like make me very happy. Also, like all humans, I love getting mail.
5. I can't believe I'm going to turn 25 this year. I still feel like a little girl.
Time for a mini book review! I've gushed about Built by Wendy enough, and I sorta feel like it's already old news in Blogland. And a quick Google search just turned up a far better review for this book than I would've written.
I'll just add that I find the clear pictures very helpful for a new sewer like myself. They are probably embarrassingly simplistic but I think the assumption that a verbal description is sufficient is a major failing of most sewing books.
The photography is gorgeous, spare, tres chic and all that. I have been batting around the idea of writing a paper on the Anthropologie aesthetic that seems to authoritatively dominate anything geared towards young crafty types with cultural capital to spare. The A-word has been uttered by stylists at several of the photoshoots I've done and it seems to be heavily ripped off in the catalog world in general. There is also the influence it has with crafters--I wonder what the numbers are for people like me, who get the catalog and pore over it (sometimes going as far as interpreting the designs) but can rarely afford to buy any of it. I'd like to get to the bottom of its appeal.
This is my favorite project in the whole book. I still die laughing everytime I see a granny cart because it reminds me of Grumperina's saga about her granny cart breaking and no one in Cambridge helping her. I can't for the life of me find the post on her blog, but it was super, super horrible/funny.
I finished some socks for a friend who recently turned 31 and will be starting to write his dissertation soon. He claims that he loves tweed but doesn't wear it because he doesn't want to be a 'professorial cliche'. I figure this way no one has to know. I knit them toe-up because I was wary about my yarn, but each sock took less than a ball of Regia 6-ply tweed. I knit it them on size 3 Susan Bates. I'd started them on 2s but that was nearly cardboard. These were supposed to have an 'embossed' (read: purl stitches) monogram but it looked crap so I skipped it. It was also supposed to have a 'princess foot' (read: reverse stockinette sole) as a joke (as in, he is a delicate flower) but it looked odd and I skipped that too. Yawnsville, but still, a finished object(s).
The best part of this process was taking my pattern book to a copy shop and having them chop the spine, drill holes and spiral bind it for me so it will lay flat! I can't take credit for this (a Webs customer came in with all of her books sporting this treatment once) but that doesn't stop me from feeling WICKED CLEVER whenever I look at it.
Still with me? Here are some randoms, Eric wearing a LOT of handknits at Mass MOCA (it was great, you have to go and see the Notion Nanny):
Just a few more sew-y pictures including my ham (hee hee!):
Some more fabric:
A few more 1.99 patterns:
And my current WIP, for the store. This is Valley Yarn's new sock yarn Franklin in Mountain Spring, dyed by Gail the Kangaroo Dyer. Very pretty and knits sort of like Lorna's Laces. It's hanging out with my new textbooks right now. I should quit blogging and attend to both...
Have a great week and sorry for the sporadic and massive posting habit I've gotten into =)

4BETTER OR WORSE- The week in review
Best plea: One of the alleged murderers of Jayne McGowan, William Douglas Gentry Jr., 23, pleads guilty to capital murder and five related charges in Charlottesville Circuit Court December 15 in exchange for prosecutors not seeking the death penalty. Also charged in the November 8, 2007, slaying of McGowan, 26, in her St. Clair Avenue home is Gentry's cousin, Michael Stuart Pritchett, 19, who is scheduled for trial June 8.
Best collision of fashion and free speech: Three civil liberties watchdogs file suit in federal court against the Virginia Board of Elections and the registrars who kept voters from wearing their campaign button or stickers at the polls November 4. Joining forces in the lawsuit are the ACLU, the Rutherford Institute, and the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression.
Worst collision of fashion and free speech: Madison resident Leigh Purdum is the only person arrested in Virginia under the above law when she refused to cover her John McCain t-shirt November 4 and the Madison County Electoral Board swore out a complaint against her, the Culpeper Star Exponent reports. Purdum has been involved in a controversial Freedom of Information case against her former boss, Sheriff Eric Weaver, whose office served the warrant on her.
Most collisions: Genesis Crawford II allegedly strikes four cars at Proffitt Road and U.S. 29 December 12 before wrecking on Pritchett Lane.
Best solidarity with state workers: UVA President John Casteen will forego a raise this year like other state employees
Least like other state workers: Pulling in almost $800,000, Casteen is the third-highest paid public university president in the country, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Worst news for UVA union members: The Communications Workers of America are shutting down the Staff Union at UVA because of lack of membership, Chiara Canzi reports in C-Ville Weekly. The CWA wants 1,000 members; SUUVA has 250. However, they are being offered a merger with the Verizon union in Richmond.
Worst news for Jan Cornell: The SUUVA president is out of a job.
Worst news for Invista employees: The Waynesboro nylon plant announces the layoffs of 210 employees and that it will idle the plant because of reduced carpet demand.
Worst car fire: The occupant of a vehicle that explodes and burns on Gordonsville Road December 11 is unidentified at press time.
Most controversial appointment: City Council unanimously approves Mike Gaffney to a fourth-term as chairman of the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority, despite a growing clamor that the current 50-year water plan is too unwieldy and costly.
Most unusual public works outcome: The $7.5 million re-bricking and restoration of the Downtown Mall could come in 10 to 15 percent under budget, say city officials– unless unanticipated costs eat up the savings. Rachana Dixit has the story in the Daily Progress.
Best for tourism: The January 20 inauguration of Barack Obama has local hotels booking up, despite the 120-mile-distance from DC. Brian McNeill has the story in the DP.
Best magazine cover: The Virginia Quarterly Review picks up another accolade with its fall issue on the war at home, which Time lists in its Top 10 Magazine Covers of 2008, along with the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and the Economist.
Best flash mob: UVA students stage an 11:45pm rave outside Clemons Library December 12, inspired by a December 9 event at UNC.
Best topless protest: In time for the circus coming to town, PETA member Christina Dang goes caged and shirtless December 10 on the Downtown Mall to protest Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus' treatment of animals.

Treating seed for row crop production once required early ordering and a long wait.
Not a system that works when weather delays planting until a farmer has to change crops to avoid a fallow field.
That became an old story when Bayer CropScience introduced a state-of-the-art seed treatment machine at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Ill., on Tuesday.
Growers now can get seed treated On Demand.
On Demand is a user-friendly, touch screen system that allows growers to choose up to three different treatments for each batch of seed. It helps manage product usage and will automatically reorder supplies so dealers can optimize inventory. Treaters will also benefit from state-of-the-art remote troubleshooting that enables automatic communication between the On Demand system and Bayer CropScience service professionals if any issues are detected. (A video on this page shows you more information about how the system works)
Growers benefit from getting seed that's treated quickly, accurately and to their specifications, says Bayer CropScience product manager Keith Vodrazka.
"If the seed treater can treat faster, he can make that seed available sooner," Vodrazka says. "Growers also can have a greater level of confidence in the rate that's applied and the coverage." The confidence is spurred by a system-generated printed report that lists the variety of seed, the treatment applied, the rate of product, when it was treated and by whom.
A grower who melds that report with a yield report at the end of the season can tweak his system based on what worked where in his fields, Vodrazka points out.
"Just like in your combine, you can combine the data with the results and see what worked and what didn't," says Jaco Van Der Westhuizen, strategic equipment marketing lead for Bayer equipment.
Seed also can be treated in small batches, which allows growers to custom order for various fields. For instance, one field may need a double dose of nematicide because it's under heavy pressure. Lay on the Aeris and the Poncho/Votivo. Not so much pressure, drop one of the treatments.
"You can change recipes at the touch of a button," Vodrazka says, noting that one dealer who tested the system taught his 18-year-old daughter how to run it. She ran the system 80% of the time.
A man who allows his daughter to run the system also is confident that it's safe, Vodrazka points out. The closed system improves safety for the operator and decreases environmental risk from spills.
"You want to take care of the environment. You want to take care of the treaters," Van Der Westhuizen says. "You can to make sure it's all safe."

Better Than the Next Little Black Dress
The little black dress - yea, we all have one. Some of us haven't even taken the tag off of yet. But, how about a black tee shirt? I have one...or three...or half a dozen. If you don't, swipe one from your brother, boyfriend or husband, because it is a wardrobe staple. OK, now that we all have one (or a few) let's find new ways to style that basic tee shirt - we can definitely talk about that little black dress another time.
Some tips on getting creative with your black t-shirt:
Instead of just throwing on your trusty old blue jeans - opt for those black jeans you bought and black boots (if you don't have a pair - major fashion faux pas, so get buy some). Now pair it with a jacket - preferably leather - and you are set for a night out with the girls, or your main squeeze. Option to take this outfit up another notch? Dare to wear some funky patterned or metallic skinny jeans.
Another trick? Layering! I know I have more than a few long sleeved black tee shirts. They are a better quality than your basic tee shirt, so they get hung in my closet, not thrown in the drawer. One of my favorite things to do is to layer one under a short sleeve or tank dress unexpectedly. Pair that with tights and slouchy boots and you have just made that dress season-less! This is also a great way to stretch your wardrobe by adding the new color of the season in an affordable way while you experiment to see what works for you. Whether it is rich jewel tones or soft pastel shades, you can add tees that are the color of the rainbow. But colors will come in future articles - today it is about that great comfy lack tee - long sleeve or short.
Over the weekend is another time to throw on that black tee. Add a bold statement necklace or a great color scarf to add texture and dimension. You will be amazed what a dash of color near you face can do. And if you are like some of us and don't want to wear makeup on the weekend, but feel naked without anything on....make sure you ALWAYS wear your sunscreen, add a little lip color that picks up a color in your scarf, some mascara and you are ready for anything!
So, you think you have nothing to wear? Think again....open that closet and get going......whether it is a tee from the mall, or one from your local main street merchant ( it's always great to support our small local shop owners!) , long sleeve or short, black is back and can make you shine.

John Answers
A Higher Call
By Perry Hedberg
And let the peace
on God rule in
your hearts .. .
Col. 3 :15
Vol. XXVII—No. 8 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota
Friday, February 10, 1950
Lords & Ladies
Plan Party
Each year the remark is heard concerning Founder's Week, —Ills
one has been the best yet," and according to plans for the one rapidly
approaching, it will not come one whit behind any that have preceded it.
Each day's program will include a
prayer forum in the Seminary
chapel at 8 : 55 a.m., the regular
chapel service at 9:45, followed by
two additional morning sessions
and three afternoon sessions.
The speakers for the daily ses-sions
will be Dr. Herbert Lockyer
of Liverpool, England; Dr. Harold
Fickett, noted Conference speaker
from Galveston, Texas; Dr. F. D.
Whitesell of Northern Baptist Sem-inary,
Professor Clifford Larson,
Rev. Curtis Akenson, Rev. Sten
Lindberg, Rev. Eric Anderson, Con-ference
evangelist, and Rev. Alphin
The evening sessions to be held
at the Payne Avenue Church will
each feature speakers from the
Conference, presenting the work of
the various departments, plus one
of the guest speakers. Special
music during the week will be
furnished by Bethel talent, includ-ing
the male chorus, girls' chorus
and chapel choir.
In a thrill-packed pre-game, the
Lads edged the Lords in an over-time
tilt, 41-39. Leading through
most of the game, the Lads fell
behind in the closing minutes, but
rallied to end the game in a tie,
39 all. In the action-filled overtime,
Howie Carlson dropped in the win-ning
bucket. Schader led the Lads
to victory with 16 tallies.
Basketball was not the only at-traction
of the evening for the now
well-known Bethel tumblers put on
a polished performance between
halves of the main event before a
very appreciative audience. Led
by Curt Wik and Marlin Nelson, the
squad executed many difficult
feats with ease.
The large crowd was greeted
with many unusual surprises. In the
pre-game warm up the Fumbling
Five sported spotless white linen
warm-up jackets that would have
looked more appropriate on head
waiters in a swanky restaurant.
Even the starting faculty five
were surprised to find themselves
pitted against some of the best
girl hash-slingers on the Bethel
chow line.
After this false start, the game
got underway only to be interrupt-ed
during time outs with curb ser-vice
rendered by the dining hall
waitresses and the faculty women.
Ice bags, baby bottles, thermome-ters,
coffee, bibs, orange juice, and
milk, all added fun to the night of
Lords and Ladies
Give School Skate
Skaters were provided with an
evening of fun at the all-school
skating party sponsored by the
Lords and Ladies February 3.
Special features of the skate
were a lighted rink and music. Dur-ing
a brief rest period the skaters
were entertained as Don Goldsmith
and Betty Dughman demonstrated
the art of figure skating. 011ie
Osberg directed the skating period.
After the skate, hot chocolate
and cookies were served in the
girls' lounge as the skaters warmed
themselves around a roaring fire
in the fireplace. Bob Frykenberg
then led a short singspiration,
climaxed with devotional thoughts
on the twenty-third psalm.
Lads and Lassies
Feature Edgren
The Lads and Lassies are giving
their second annual presentation
of the Edgren Program tonight.
Al Windham has charge of the
monthly meeting. The main feature
of the program will be the life
story of Dr. Edgren and the found-ing
of Bethel College and Semin-ary.
Short biographical sketches of
several other conference leaders
will be given also. Some rather
unique musical arrangements have
been prepared for the evening.
Those in charge are sure that
this program will be of vital in-terest
to all those who can attend.
Calls for Workers
Exceed volunteers
Thousands of boys and girls will
be waiting for Bible School work-ers
to come this summer with the
message of abundant life. At pre-sent
calls to Bethel for workers
exceed applications.
Miss Esther Sable, who is in
charge of Daily Vacation Bible
School this year, is anxious that
all applicants be assigned schools
by Founder's Week, when the pas-tors
may become aquainted with
those who will be teaching. Appli-cation
blanks may be secured in
Miss Sable's office.
Workers are usually sent out in
teams of two or three for a period
of two weeks. The Baptist Women's
Union of Minnesota has a $500 an-nual
fund that guarantees the work-ers
$15 a week. Other states have
similar provisions. Board and lodg-ing
are provided by the churches.
Bethel has sent an average of
60 to 100 young people to various
churches in the northwest and to
both coasts in this work other
years. Conversions have numbered
in the hundreds, and not the least
blessed have been the workers, ac-cording
to their testimony.
"Hi collegue," was a favorite
greeting of John Balian as I knew
him. He could be considered a
model Bethel student.
Last year, his junior year, he
was associate editor of the Spire,
junior class Student Council reprer
sentative, Progressive Discussion
Group moderator and a member of
the debate squad. In addition, John
taught a Sunday School class at
Simpson Memorial Church and led
the devotional committee for Min-nesota
Mining Manufacturing Corn-pany's
Christian Fellowship group.
His was a keen mind that ap-proached
classroom sessions with
a strong desire to learn. He was
endowed with a holy curiosity.
His organizational ability is easi-ly
recognized in The Spire staff
now and his loyalty to the school,
extracurriculars and friends was
seen in his promptness to keep
all appointments.
Bethel Grad Returns
From Africa Mission
Miss Mildred Olson, who has
spent the last twelve years in
Africa, will speak at the Mission-ary
Band meeting next Friday.
Lately she has been working with
the women and children at the
mission station located in Kan-senyi,
Belgium Congo, where most
of the children are orphans. Miss
Olson will have many unusual
stories to relate. She also has been
teaching women's Bible classes and
could give missionaries-to-be some
pointers on the "how and where-fore"
in that department.
Miss Olson graduated from Bet-hel
Academy in 1933 and is a mem-ber
of the Baptist Church in Rock-ford,
Illinois. While attending the
Academy Miss Olson worked in
Vacation Bible Schools in South
Dakota. Miss Grace Swanson, who
is now a Conference missionary
in India and Glen Swanson, presi-dent
of Missionary Band, were both
students of hers.
Missionary answers in response
to the efforts of the 626 Club are
beginning to reach Bethel. The
club, it will be remembered, is
sponsored by Missionary Band and
its slogan is Pray-Give-Write.
Come to our meeting on Friday
It's Valentine's, you know.
Dan Cupid will be there all right
With his arrows and his bow.
There'll be many Lords and Ladies
So watch for Cupid's dart.
The only thing you have to fear
Is losing your fond heart.
Bethel Budget
Is Expanding
This year Bethel is again striv-ing
to meet an expanding budget of
$317,759.50. This income is antici-pated
mostly from tuitions with the
balance coming from donations,
rent, board, interest and miscel-laneous
Students are so busy going to
school that few of them ever pause
to think of what it costs to keep
Bethel in operation. Last' year's
financial statement revealed camp-us
evaluation and assets to be
$1,114,762.77. Liabilities connected
with operation are small, although
last year was not as successful as
previous years in reference to
balancing the budget.
The year ended with a deficit for
the fiirst time in ten years, the
amount being $6,643.45. The men's
and the women's dormitories and
the dining hall came out "in the
red." Hagstrom Apartments was
the only dormitory to meet its
cost of operation.

Faculty Captures
Cup In 49-38 Win
Lads Edge Lords, 41-39 in Overtime
Thriller. Crowd Cheers Gymnasts
by Dave Osterberg
Last night the Faculty basketball team, led by professors Johnson
and Edwards, gained possession of the coveted Coffee-Cup Trophy by
cleaning up on the Fumbling Five dishwashers, 49-38, in the third annual
Coffee Cup game. This victory was the first for the teachers in the series,
having lost in the first two tilts to the Clarion squad in '48 and to the
Intramural All-Stars in '49.
After a cold first quarter which ended with the dishwashers leading
7-5, the teachers found the answers and pulled away to a 25-14 lead at
half-time. The third quarter ended with the faculty out in front 42-21,
but the dishwashers proved they were not all washed up by coming back
strong in the last quarter to make it a great battle. Final score was
49-38 for the faculty.
Founder's Week
A Challenge
Week of February 20-24
Promises Great Things
ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS of the year at Bethel as well as
throughout the Conference is Founder's Week. The week of February
20 - 24 will be packed with spiritual nourishment and many challenges
again this year.
Lords and Ladies are planning
a program in keeping with the day
on which they will meet. It is
doubtful if it could be strictly held
that Dan Cupid's campus activities
are confined at Bethel to the single
day of February 14, but he will
be the guest of the two societies,
nevertheless. So to all Lord's and
Ladies the following excerpt is

In order to perform our task well it is
absolutely necessary not only to have a
clear vision of the future with its needs and
possibilities but also to have a thorough
understanding and appreciation of the past.
Most certainly we shall be better prepared
to rightly evaluate our own times if we
know men and movements of history, pri-marily
as it pertains to the kingdom of God.
At Founder's Week very naturally our
thoughts are directed, at least in part, to
the life and work of the founder of Bethel,
John Alexis Edgren. The fundamental ob-ject,
however, is not to pay tribute to the
founder, but rather to render praise to
God for giving to our fellowship a man of
such rare intellectual and spiritual talents
as Dr. Edgren.
From the very beginning of the Seminary,
in October, 1871, he adopted, among others,
the following important principle: "The
preacher should have as good an education
as possible, but of all knowledge the most
important is to know the Bible. To cultivate
the mind is important, but to cultivate the
spiritual life is even more important." We
trust and pray that that important emphasis
on the Bible and a deep spiritual life may
always be supreme at Bethel. For we are
not in the field to compete with intellec-tualism
"per se", or to answer all the argu-ments
of the critcs, but rather to prepare
young people to go out with a positive
message from the Lord, and to point the
lost to the Redeemer, and to build up the
saints in a holy walk. The program of
Founder's Week has always centered in
basic Christianity, and thus to furnish both
instruction and inspiration to Christian
workers "to expect great things from God
and attempt great things for God."

We acknowledge the omission of credi-tation
due to the St. Paul Pioneer Press
for the use of their cut on the front
page of our Jan. 27th edition.
Eric. was out chopping ice off the side
walk the other day which reminded me of
the "chopping" that some of the biology
lab. students have been doing. As Mr.
Anderson was helping Adelia Erickson cut
the eyes out of her pig last Thursday he
smilingly began to sing, "I don't see me in
your eyes anymore."
How the days do fly, I think even the
ground hog must feel pretty rushed! As
"Morrie" would say, "It depends on how
cute she it!" That's "Morrie" always wising
Fellows, just to slip a hint, here's one
big chance of the year to let that gal know
how much you really like her. You don't
have to take her out to dinner or make
eyes at her in the hall. Just send her three
little words written on a piece of paper and
she'll be happy. 'Not "I love you", but
"be my valentine". You'd think I was giving
a commercial for Hallmark cards! Oh, by
the way, you'd be surprised how roses
brighten up a dreary, cold, dormitory
Just in case you've been wondering why
all the bewildered looks and guzzled faces
were walking around campus last week, I'll
tell you. It was "secret pal" or "heart
sister" week for the girls at Bodien Resi-dence.
All the girls had fun writing poems,
doing favors or playing tricks on their
secret pals. Shirley Anderson enjoys play-ing
tricks on her secret pal, Audrey Hol-stedt.
One day Audrey found a wooden keg
sitting by her mail-box with several articles
of her ward-robe tucked inside. Here she
hadn't even missed them. Ruth Danielson
found a whole pie waiting on her desk
one evening. Speaking about pies, I think
most-of us had our share of sweets—didn't
we look it?
Accidently or on purpose is the question.
Several girls have received pamphlets on
"How to lose weight", "How to be a good
cook", and "How to improve your voice."
You fellows expect an awful lot.
Has everyone gotten to see the newest
Sonja Henny at Bethel? She's a whiz on
ice-skates. Have you guessed — Margaret
Hanson. There are several handsome coup-les
seen together on the skating rink as
well as in the coffee-shop. Eddie Carlson
doesn't seem to have too much trouble hold-ing
Caroline Anderson up.
Has anyone noticed a tall dark complect-ed
man walking around campus lately?
He's rather quiet, but usually friendly and
jovial. Do you think you have noticed him?
Well, if you see a man of this description
walking around campus please report it to
the Clarion. We'd like you to identify our
"mystery man." Until he is identified keep
your eyes open and look for more clues.
He knows, He loves, He cares—
Nothing the truth can dim;
He gives His very best to those
Who leave the choice to Him.

In Memoriam
February 7th marked the passing of a
pioneer foreign missionary of the Baptist
General Conference. Rev. August Lindstedt
began his missionary service in Siberia in
1925. He worked among the Russians in this
area and later pioneered in mission work
among the White Russians in Manchuria
and China.
His faithful labors were rewarded by
retirement in 1948 and now he has gone to
his eternal reward which was ever his
earnest desire.
The Clarion extends its sincere sympathy
to Mrs. Lindstedt and the tour sons, Mar-win,
Olof, Carl and Roy in this loss.

Generally speaking, the more one knows
about anything or any subject the more in-teresting
that becomes. There are persons
who have become highly enthusiastic in
their study of ants or bees or flowers or
stars. The more they know, the more they
want to know; and their enthusiasm be-comes
It is said that the man who waxes en-thusiastic
about cosines can, through his
very enthusiasm, make others to become
interested and enthusiastic—and gather a
On the other hand, if we know next to
nothing about a subject, we cannnot expect
ourselves to be much interested.
There is, then, what we call passibe at-tention
and active attention. At first a sub-ject
may seem very dry indeed and, at first
though, we would like to drop it. But we
recognize its importance, and we take our-selves
in hand and buckle down. We com-pel
ourselves to give attention.
What happens? As we go into the sub-ject
more our interest increases. After
awhile we find ourselves carried away by
the quickened interest, and compulsion is
no longer needed. It is rather easy and
pleasant to give ourselves to the subject
and what seemed before to be hard work
and almost drudgery has now become a joy.
And so we have the classic college story
of the freshman who asked permission of
the dean to drop a subject which he clear-ly
disliked. He admitted that he gave little
time to it because he disliked it.
The dean agreed on. one condition; name-ly,
that the student for some ten days give
three hours of study each day to that par-ticular
undersirable subject.
The result was that the student became
so interested that he forgot his very request
to the dean. Upon the dean's meeting the
student in the hall, he asked him how he
was coming with the subject.
"Oh, fine," was the answer.
"But don't you want to drop it?"
"Drop it?" came the response from the
student. "Why, no! It is the most interest-ing
subject I have."

Upon • the soul's returning
Unto the Father's house,
From life upon the earth plane,
What can he do to rouse
An understanding of. its
Realness, that he is still aware
Of God's eternal goodness, of
The Heaven he's to share
With the long-departed dear
Ones, with helpers of this realm
Whose watchful care and love
Was the hand upon the helm,
As he glided into safety in
The port of heavenly rest;
There to dwell forever in the
Land of all the blest,
And awaken to the knowledge
That now at least he'll know
That life is real, eternal,
From thence he need not go.

Speech Pleased the Lord by Harold oCind
Wind from rind
This last weekend the Debate teams
were up at the Red River Tournament at
Moorhead, Minnesota. Somehow this De-bate
Tournament was quite different than
those of latter days. "Why was this dif-ferent?"
you ask. Because there was one
spark, one laugh, one chuckle and one life
missing from our group. It was the Spirit-filled
life of our brother-in-Christ, John
At our last debate tournament in Iowa,
at the Iowa State Teachers College, Sohn
and I were a team. A team of Christian
debaters from Bethel. I can remember how
John kidded Bob Daley about different
kind of air they had in Iowa, how he help-ed
Florence Nordstrom and Jane Johnson
over the icy sidewalks, and how he put
all he had into his job of debating. I re-member
Friday evening after we had had
one debate, had both given an Extempor-ameous
speech and had a bite to eat before
going to our rooms. John and I went to
our room and on the way kidded Bob Daley
and Louie Nelson about sleeping in the
room next to us and that both of us
snored pretty loud. After we had both gotten
ready for bed, Johnnie said, "Let's brush
up on our case a bit." I said, "OK" and
we went over our cases. But the thing I
emember most of that trip and that even-ing
was after we put our "debate cases"
down, Johnnie and I took up the Word of
God and started reading to ourselves. John
didn't say anything just at that time but
the thought came to me that here was a
Christian, whose face was beaming with
the love of Christ, searching the Scriptures
and meditating quietly with God. I thank
God for the testimony of John's life to me,
as I realized my need of a closer walk with
Jesus, by this life that was so dedicated
to Him.
Yes, he spoke the truth in love. I believe,
as it says in I Kings 3:10 and if I may
paraphrase one word, "And John's speech
pleased the Lord." Whether it was in busi-ness,
in debating, in the coffee shop or
wherever. John was truly a Christian
gentleman, upholding love to all his fellow
men. I am .reminded here of the story
of a young woman who was seen in a ceme-tary
in a large city, carefully placing a
wreath of flowers by a simple gravestone.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she paused
beside the grave. A stranger passing noted
her devotion and asked if the deceased was
come close relative of hers.
"No," she replied, "but this is the grave
of a brave fireman who saved my life when
I was an infant. He rushed upstairs in my
father's house, where I lay asleep. The fire-man
opened a window and tossed me
safely to his comrades below. He himself
perished, for the building fell in flames.
He saved me for a longer life, and I must
prove worthy of his sacrifice for me."
Our Saviour and Lord died, when young,
on a cruel cross that we might be saved
eternally. Just before He did so. He said,
"This is my commandment, That ye love
one another, as I have Loved you."
Truly that was the love that John had
for his fellow men, the love of Christ being
shed abroad through his heart.
We know, from the promise in the Scrip-ture,
that if one of God's saints is absent
from the body, he is present with the Lord.
Let it be a challenge to each one of us
left here on this earth to "Work For The
Night Is Coming" and ask ourselves the
question, "What If It Were Today?"

Indians Maintain Early
Lead to Top Brainerd, 61-50
Last Tuesday night, on the Minnehaha court, the Indian's 61-50
victory over Brainerd put the two teams on an equal basis of one
victory apiece since the competition began last year. Before the first
two minutes of play had elapsed, Brainerd took a 6-1 lead, however,
this lead was overcome when Gordy Wood, Indian guard, scored 12
points in the first period and before the quarter wore out, Bethel
dominated the lead, 25-8. Woods went on to total 24 points for scoring
honors of the evening.
At halftime, the Indians held a
substantial 32-20 lead and added
6 more points to their margin of
victory by a third quarter score of
50-32. Brainerd outscored the In-dians
in the final period but could
only narrow their losing difference
to a final score of 61-50.
In the preliminary game, the
Bethel B team came from behind
to tie Bethlehem Baptist at the
final buzzer. In an overtime period
took a 4 point 36-23 lead which
they held until victory was theirs
as the time ran out. Jim Lemon
scored 14 points taking scoring
honors for the "B's", and Ronald
Anderson followed second by hit-ting
for nine.

Bethel Noses Out
Northland, 46-45
On Saturday night, the 28th, at
Minnehah Academy, The Northland
College `Lumberjacks' of Ashland,
Wisconsin, were nosed out in de-feat
by the Indians by the one point
margin of 46-45. It was a field goal
netted by Center Kenny Greenman
in the last minute of the event that
gave the Indians their lead and an
effective stall for the remaining
seconds preserved the lead for a
victory at the final buzzer. Green-man
also took scoring honors for
the evening by totaling ten field
goals and six free throws for 26
points. Gordy Woods was the only
Indian who came close to Green-man
by totalling 11 points.

rough; 44 fouls were called, 22 on
each team.
Scorers for Bethel were Green-man

Officials. Sammon, Lee
The top six scorers in the in-tramural
basketball tournament up
to February 4 are as follows:
Howie Carlson (Illinois A) and
Lowell Bergeson (Michigan-Wis-consin)
are tied for first place hon-ors
with 117 points in 8 games.
Ronnie Skoog (Northern Minne-sota),
although in fifth place in
total points, leads all scorers with
an average of 15.5 points a game.
In third place in total points is
Fennet Swanson of the Iowa-Platte
Valley team with 116 points. Don
Dye (Illinois B) with 111 points, is
fourth from the top, while Ronnie
Skoog is in fifth place with 109
points. LeRoy aSndberg (Saint
Paul) is sixth leading scorer in
the league with 103 points.
I sincerely hope that you all en-joyed
the Coffee Cup game last
night and that all your expecta-tions
of your favorite team were
met. I think it does a lot for the
spirit of the faculty-student rela-tionship
when we can witness
sportsmanship saturated with good
humor such as was witnessed last
evening. I want to thank all who
helped make the game a success,
and that includes everybody. If you
didn't participate your purchase of
a ticket makes it possible for the

Axeen Coaches
Girl's Team
Just Organized
On January 27, 1950, as eighteen
girls gathered in the gym with
their newly-appointed coach, Miss
Axeen, a dream became reality,
for this was the first practice of
the Bethel College Girls' Basketball
Since that first practice, three
more practices have been held on
January 30, 31, and February 3, at
which the attendence averaged
fourteen. Regular practice hours
have been set from 8:00 P.M. to
10 P.M. on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings and from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M.
on Saturdays.
Plans for this school team began
last fall when several students
presented their ideas to the Student
Council President, Bob Daley. He
then consulted Dean Carlson who
approved the request made for
equipment and thus the Bethel Col-lege
Girls' Basketball Team became
an official school enterprise.
White uniforms with red letter-ing
and numbers have been order-ed
and three new regulation
basketballs as well as smaller
equipment such as whistles and
rule books have already been pur-chased
and put to use.
Several schools in the twin cities
have been contacted concerning
scheduling games with them.
Among these schools are the Uni-versity
of Minnesota Farm Campus,
Murray High School, Mounds-Mid-way
School of Nursing, Macaliaster,
and Northwestern. Coach Edwards
has also expressed the possibility
of having the girls' team play pre-liminary
games before scheduled
varsity games are played.
The twelve girls chosen by Miss
Axeen to compose this first Bethel
Girls' Basketball Team are: Bobbe
Lou Cooper, Janice Jackson, Mari-lyn
Kortum, Aleen Lindquist, Betty
Michaelson, Claryce Skoog, Laurel
Lundberg, Beverly Hiebel, Hanna
Janke, Lois Safstrom, Audrey Sam-uelson,
and Ruth Martinson.

I would remind you that I'd like
to see you all at tomorrow night's
game over at Minnehaha. In get-ting
the coach's outlook for the
game I might say it didn't sound
too good. Waldorf Junior College
has always had above average Jun-ior
College teams and this year is
no exception. We won by one point
last year and this season it is just
as likely that the victory margin
can be held as easily by either
team, but lets all turn out to help
that margin favor the Indians.
Scoring Spree
Concordia Win
Chalking up their sixth win of
the season, Bethel defeated Con-cordia,
80-55, on the Comets floor
February 4. The Indians had their
hottest night of the current season
as they hit on 33 of 79 field goals
for a blistering average of .418.
This, along with 14 of 19 tree
throws gave the Redmen their
highest score this year. Greenman,
having his best night of the season,
was high point man with 27 points.
He hit on 13 of 23 shots for a
spectacular 56 percent. Bud Pierce,
again starred at guard with a final
tally of 22 points, and Gordy Wood,
also outstanding at a guard spot
added 15. High for the Comets was
Young with 22.

Tonight the Indians play Austin
Junior College, at Austin, for their
second engagement this season.
Last January 7th, Austin was de-feated
under Indian strength by a
wide margin of 53-21, at the Minne-haha
gymn. In the previous encoun-ter,
it was evident that Austin was
deficient both in offensive and de-fensive
play. The tricky dribbling
and passing of Woods and Pierce
was what seemed to limit efficient
guarding for Austin. Although no
"Cinch" is anticipated by the Bet-hel
five, they go with confidence
of bringing back another victory.
Tomorrow night, starting at 8:15,
at the Minnehaha Gym, the Indians
encounter Waldorf Junior College,
of Forrect City, Iowa, who will
bring a team that, according to
Coach Edwards, is among the
toughest teams on the Indian sche-dule.
Last year the Indians had to
fight hard against the excellent
Waldorf eleven and managed to
come out victors by the one point
margin 46-45. Tomorrow night will
be the first and only time the
teams meet this season.
Sports Sketch
Bud Bjorndahl, six foot, twenty
year old Indian varsity eager, play-ed
his first basketball for a school
team (either high school or college)
last year when he was "first
string" on the Bethel "B" team.
Church league basketball in Chic-ago
gave Bud the foundation for
his collegiate play, as was demon-strated
last year when he was
second high-scorer of the "B"
squad. But, not content to rest
upon past laurels, Bud has improv-ed
his fast, vigorous type of ball
as well as his teamwork to be-come
one of the most valuable
players on the Indian squad.
"Working and playing with the
Bethel squad, which this year is
one of the smoothest and polished
teams I have ever seen, has cer-tainly
been a help to me—not only
in giving me confidence in play-ing
and in developing teamwork but
also in strengthening me as an in-dividual",
is the way Bud expres-ses
Although uncertain whether he
will transfer to the University of
Illinois or remain at Bethel next
year, Bud is planning at present
on a history major.

Lads, Lass' Hold
Alter-glow Sing
With Bob Daley leading, the all-school
"sing", sponsored by the
Lads and Lassies and held in the
Edgren rec room, Jan: 29, was suc-cessful
in carrying on the spirit
of Missionary Emphasis Week
which had impressed the student
body the week before.
The after-glow gathering got un-derway
with vigorous group sing-ing
around the fire crackling in the
fireplace. Elwin Forssel sang two
solos and Bruce Woodman and
Wendell Anderson played two
selections on their instruments.
Dick Anthony accompanied them
at the piano.
Following a short devotional by
Bob, about twelve testimonies of
praise and blessings received dur-ing
the previous week were given
by -members of the group.
Lads and Lassies climaxed the
time of fellowship by serving a
lunch of barbecued sandwiches,
coffee and cake. The organization
hopes to make these Sunday after-noon
"sings" an established func-tion
on campus. Ruth Martinson
and Margaret Miller headed the
committee responsible for the plan-ning
of the "sing".
Rev. J. G. Johnson Works
With 40 Young Churches
Forty missionary churches are
being supported by the Minnesota
Baptist Conference and many Bet-hel
students have gone to work in
them, yet the work of the Con-ference
in this connection and that
of the executive secretary, Rev.
John G. Johnson, is probably un-familiar
to many students.
Rev. Johnson has been on campus
only since last March. As executive
secretary he is in charge of all
Conference churches in Minnesota.
He helps establish new churches
and aids them in obtaining a build-ing
and a pastor.

Reflections From
Senior Class Concert
by James Hubbard
"A new song . . . even praise
unto our God: many shall se,e it,
and fear, and shall trust the Lord."
The Winter Concert sponsored
by the Senior Class of 1950 was
presented Thursday evening, Feb.
2, and well received by the Bethel
audience. From the heart and lips
of George Beverly Shea, well-known
Gospel singer, came a new song
that caused us to trust more in
the Lord. The gospel songs and
hymns were sung in the manner
that only Bev Shea can sing them.
His is not the voice of a Caruso
or a Pinza, but his voice is the
sounding box of his heart, and out
of it flows forth praise unto our
Bertil Anderson, graduate of Bet-hel,
accompanied Mr. Shea and
also did solo work in his usual
artistic manner. His ability, both
as a soloist and as. an accompanist
were shown. His treatment of the
work of the master musicians com-plemented
well the performance of
Mr. Shea. Mr. Anderson has the
ability and capacity of a Ruben-stein,
and this gift of his has been
dedicated to the service of the
Mr. Shea and Mr. Anderson drew
our hearts and minds closer to the
Lord. Through them we have learn-ed
to love our Lord all the more.
A hearty thank you to the Senior
Class for bringing these two fine
men to our campus.
It is beneficial , to the Bethel
students to have Rev. Johnson on
campus since he has helped many
of the Seminary students to secure
student pastorates. Much of his
time is spent in evangelistic work
for which he is well fitted, having
been the Conference evangelist in
Minnesota from 1927 to 1931.
Love Theme of
Girls' Dorm Party
Almost one hundred pajama-clad
residents of the Girls' Dormitory
packed into the loung of Bodien
Residence on Monday evening, Feb.
6 for the Dorm Valentine Party.
Uppermost in their thoughts was
the fact that secret heart sisters,
who were responsible for many
favors and gifts the past week,
were at last to be revealed. This
was done by original poems writ-ten
by each girl containing clues
to her identity, and given to the
girl who had been her heart sister.
A program centered around the
Valentine theme of love, and cli-maxed
by the love of God inter-woven
Into that theme, was pre-sented
by all the residents of the
new wing of the second floor, and
headed by Florence Nordstrom.
Paintbrush Efforts
Add to Bethel Interiors
Several campus buildings have
added a dash or two of inside
color since Christmas vacation,
thanks to the paintbrush efforts of
John Dishinger and Cliff Anderson,
who did the work under the super-vision
of Mr. Eric Borgeson.
Dean Carlson's office was paint-ed
a pastel green and one of the
music rooms in the college building
underwent similar treatment. In
Bodien residence one corner room
and the basement washroom re-ceived
a coat of paint for the first
time. Back hallways of both dormi-tories
were also painted.
Future plans are made for still
more re-decorating. This will be
the first time dorm room walls
have been painted, tinted plaster
have contributed the needed color
Bethel Representative
Leads Three Meetings
OF Press Society
Perry Hedberg, chairman of the
college and school publications sec-tion
of Evangelical Press Associa-tion,
led three of their sectional
meetings in Chicago the last week
in January. Student representatives
from Moody Bible Institute, North
Park and Wheaton colleges, and
Wheaton academy were present.
"We've preached God's grace and
God's love so long in fundamental
circles," said Dr. A. W. Tozer, "that
we have developed an impudent
and rebellious group of Christians
today. Dr. Tozer, pastor of the
largest Christian and Missionary
Alliance church in the world, made
this statement to the last E.P.A.
He explained to the assembled
evangelical writers and editors "we
need a new emphasis" among or-thodox
believers. "That new em-phasis,"
he said, "should be sub-jective"
and "for the inner man."
This latest need is in contrast to
the "objective, creedal" approach
so evident about us, Dr. Tozer sug-gested.
We were encouraged to have
thirty-nine leaders of twenty-two of
our campus organizations in at-tendance.
The first session was in-formative
and enlightening regard-ing
coming events at Bethel, and
suggestions as to how we may best
take part in them were given.
Then while coffee and doughnuts
were served, we separated into
smaller informal discussion groups
according to fields of major in-terest.
There the specific problem
of our greatest need on Bethel's
campus was discussed and an out-line
of various questions was filled
in by each group. These have prov-ed
very constructive to the Coun-cil
and are of great aid in showing
us the attitudes and interests of
the students.
The Forum led to a feeling of
encouragement that even greater
things are in store for Bethel dur-ing
the remainder of this school
year. Work together toward this
A Logical Conclusion
Among the studes with logical
minds decorating our campus is
Arvid Berg who brings the follow-ing
conclusion. A cat has ten tails.
Why? Because no cat has nine
tails and a cat is one more than
no cat. (Neat, huh?)
Leaders Cooperate

The Student Council is grateful for the spirit of interest shown
by many in the Student Leadership Forum held last Tuesday. Many
organizations were most cooperative by submitting their mid-year re-ports
on the activities of their group at the Forum as requested. For
those who did not complete their reports, we remind you that the dead-line

The most prestigious place for college grads to get a job today is Deloitte, according to a Business Week story. In fact, the top three choices for Generation Y are all Big 4 accounting firms.
Are you kidding? If you ask Gen Y what's most important about work, they say flexibility, personal growth, liking the people they work with, and money.
A consulting job offers long hours in cities where you don't live, demanding clients, days of working at a client site where you don't belong, and isolation from all but a few co-workers.
Why is Generation Y going to these firms when they don't meet their top three goals?
The Big 4 are acutely aware of what young people want. Deloitte has been studying generational issues for years: workers move laterally or up or down depending on their personal goals and career aspirations. The Big 4 get the best candidates because they've been the fastest to react to new workforce conditions that place young people in the driver's seat.
Also, Gen Y doesn't admit it, but their top priority is stability: they're fundamentally conservative in their goals, lifestyle, and decision-making (not necessarily politically). They're not risk takers, boat-rockers, or revolutionaries. Young people today want a safe, nice life, and clear path to that goal.
Things start to look murky because young people are so difficult for older people to deal with at work. Young people seem to be demanding that everyone change to accommodate them. In fact, though, young people are merely demanding that the workplace live up to the values that the people who run it– their parents– taught at home: personal growth, good time management, and family first.
Why are Gen Y fundamentally conservative?
1. They love their parents.
And they want their parents to help them figure out adult life. Gen Y are hard workers, achievers, and rule followers.
According to Rebecca Ryan, author of the new book Live First, Work Second, violence, abortion and drug use are down; education, global vision, and career focus are up.
2. They operate in teams.
This is not a generation of mavericks. This is not about self-reliance, it's about teamwork. But teamwork is inherently conservative because there's consensus. There's no infighting– Gen Y hates conflict.
3. They're not complainers.
Baby boomers got their start as people who bucked the system to protect their own interests by protesting Vietnam. Who was fighting the war? Baby boomers. But they hated the war. So they argued against it. Who's fighting today's war? Gen Y. And they hate it. But they almost never complain.
Similarly, young people hold all the power in the workplace today, but they choose to be consensus builders. They say, "Talk with us, work with us, let's understand each other."
4. They're not asking for anything crazy.
Gen Y are hard workers. The speed with which they sift and synthesize information puts their elders' skills to shame. So why complain about their demands? They're great at work, and they want to have work that's meaningful and challenging.
And this is exactly what everyone else wants from their work. These demands are not new. It's just new to hear them from an entry-level worker. But in fact, it's reasonable and fundamentally conservative since these are the values this generation has been taught to live by.
Certainly we can't fault Gen Y for wanting stability. Who doesn't want stability? Baby boomers wanted it, which is why they worked insanely long hours and surrounded themselves with tons of possessions. Gen X wanted stability, too. We just never got it because we graduated into the worst job market since the Great Depression. So we worked hard to create it for our kids instead.
Generation Y is the most conservative generation since the Great Generation that fought World War II.
So how about reframing things? Let's take another look at Generation Y– they're kids who are going to ensure that the values they were raised by will extend to the workplace. Finally.

Tamayura: Hitotose Episode 7
Beautiful, a breath of fresh air this anime is- it radiates warmth and compassion. I love it ^*
The Rebirth of Buddha
So I just watched a messianic Buddhist propaganda anime movie. Now if only other religions packaged their messages like this :P
As for Buddhism I have to say it is honestly the most appealing major religious movement as far as religions go. I could spend time poking holes in it (the major monotheist religions make better targets), but instead I prefer to take what resonates with me and is true/good from anything I come across and ignore the rest. I prefer to not to spend all my time thinking about 'negative space.'
Super awesome AMV
Hayate no Gotoku Heaven is a Place on Earth
I like this anime, and so I was expecting more from the movie than I should have.
I love this show. Who doesn't love zombies?
One of the biggest criticisms of it has been the excessive t&a, though.
I'm liking the BAKUMAN anime series a lot. The BAKUMAN manga was made by the same creative team that made DEATH NOTE. The plot of BAKUMAN is about a young artist and writer trying to make a career as a team writing and drawing manga.
Currently watching:
Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi 2
Horizon in (on) the Middle of Nowhere
All of them exceptional series for different reasons. Sekai won't be to most people's interests, but it's cute and a very solid second season.
Fate/Zero is exceptional. The art is amazing, the storyline compelling. It centers around a battle fought for possession of the Holy Grail.
Un-Go is a detective anime, and I'm really not sure how they're going to end it up with what remains of the season. I get the feeling this is one of those that I might wish was longer.
Horizon is a bit hard to follow, and it takes a while before it starts to make sense. I don't even know how I could sum it up neatly >.>
Just finished watching Hanasaku Iroha. It's really a domestic drama in animated form, the visuals are beautiful so I would rate the anime as decent. My favorite character is Nako-chi, her character just makes me lick my lips ; ) the author and Yuina are good too although they are minor characters. The first episodes of the anime were best... If only they added some more ecchi and yuri my rating would be much higher ^^.
Just watched C³ -decent anime.

ZTE expects to increase smartphone revenues by 30 percent in 2013, and maintain its position as one of the top 4 global handset manufacturers.
ZTE's handset business has seen steady development and profit growth during 2012. Industry analyst IDC reported that ZTE had shipped 65 million handsets in 2012, accounting for 3.8 percent of the global handset market and confirming ZTE as one of the top 4 handset producers.
"We know that our future success means we have to build the ZTE brand, and another target for us is to be a top 5 vendor in terms of brand awareness and reputation within the next three years," said He Shiyou, EVP and Head of the Mobile Devices Division at ZTE. "2013 is the final year of our three-year transformation into a high-end smartphone brand, but we have a lot of building still to do."
"As I have said before, we aim to be a top 3 handset manufacturer by 2015. This target has not changed," he added.
Revenues from China, the US and Europe now account for more than 70 percent of ZTE's handset revenues, with the majority of those sales being smartphones. ZTE has strategic partnerships with 47 among the global top 50 carriers and is building a worldwide distribution channel for sales of ZTE-branded phones through online and high street retailers. Revenues from distribution channels continue to grow and recently passed the mark of making up more than 15% of total ZTE handset revenues for the first time.
ZTE's transformation into an own-brand smartphone market player has shown strong results, with 2012 smartphones sales up 100 percent on 2011, and with smartphone revenues accounting for 70 percent of total handset revenues. The company aims to increase the smartphone share of its overall corporate handset sales volume by 60 percent in 2013, with Europe and North America accounting for 60 percent of ZTE's overall handset sales outside China.
"In 2013 we will target the high-end product market, build our brand, further enhance our hardware and software design capabilities, and rapidly build our routes to market through multiple channels, pursuing both the OEM/ODM and carrier/channel markets," said He. "The main trends at the top end of the handset market are what we call the 4S trends – slim, screen, speed and safe. Slim means reducing device thickness and being stylish without affecting the battery capability; screen obvious means large, high-definition screens, which is one of the most important characteristics for consumers; speed means that as much as possible we will have dual-core, quad-core or even eight-core platforms in the future; and safe means that even with a large number of installed apps, consumers do not have to worry about the safety of their device. ZTE will focus on product development in these areas to satisfy consumer needs to the greatest extent possible."
In 2013, ZTE will also launch four websites to further develop its consumer presence – www.ztedevices.com for the global market, www.ztedevices.com.cn for China, www.ztedevices.com/us for the US and www.ztedevices.com/uk for the UK. Over the next two to three years, ZTE expects to develop websites in a further 30 strategic countries around the world to provide product information and support, with all sites optimised for mobile device access.
ZTE will launch a further model in the Grand series of high-end smartphones at Mobile World Congress, following the launch of the Grand S LTE (4G) smartphone with a 13MP camera and five-inch screen at CES 2013 in Las Vegas in January.
