Every semester Bethel col-lects
$620 or $675 from each
student in college housing to
pay housing expenses_ . The
flat rate varies for on- or off-campus
housing, but all the
monies go directly into one
housing fund.
Approximately $1.8 million
is budgeted for student hous-ing
expenses this year, accord-ing
to Rod Long, director of
housing. Bethel's general fund
will also need to subsidize
housing costs.
Housing expenses are divided
into four areas, figured sep-arately:

Mike Roe's clothing box,
located near Doc's corner, is
brimming with contributions
from Bethel's faculty and stu-dents.
Roe, associate profes-sor
of psychology, started the
project four years ago to aid
Hmong refugees when they
count with two categories:
student salaries, the largest
portion, and work-study. Stu-dent
salaries pay seven RDs
and 53 RAs and ADs. Work-study
salaries pay 35 to 40
students for cleaning and
maintenance work. These ex-penses
use 16 per cent of the
Utilities and telephone
make up 14 per cent of ex-penses.
Furniture repair and re-placement
takes five per cent
and administration allocation
four per cent.
Each of the four housing
areas have the same accounts,
except Silvercrest, which
costs more to run.
The housing budget is still
subject to change and could
suffer cut-backs despite a 23
per cent increase in housing
charges over last year.
To help keep costs and the
vacancy rate down, a pen-alty-
fee policy is enforced on
housing lease cancellations.

"The Hmong had no idea
how cold Minnesota winters
are," said Roe. "We saw a
need and tried to fill it."
Roe, his wife, and two chil-dren,
ages five and three, live
in a poverty-stricken area of
St. Paul by choice. "We've
learned more living in our
neighborhood than can be
imagined," said Roe. "When-ever
a need arises we send a
bulletin to Bethel staff and

Clothing and appliances
collected from the box are
given to families that lack
necessities. Leftover goods are
sent to distribution centers—
New Beginning, which aids
the poor in the largely black
Selby-Dale area, and Sister
Leonor of the St. Agnes Par-ish,
which aids a dominantly
Hispanic populace.
The clothing box fills up
rapidly at summer's end and
after spring semester when
most students move out. The
donations have grown mostly
by word of mouth; no bulle-tins
have been sent to Bethel
"There's been a nice influx
of goods without any formal
announcements," said Roe.
"Bethel supports the program
by lending me a truck to dis-tribute
items when needed."
Roe accepts anything from
food to clothes to appliances
in working order. He's certain
to find a family in need.

Year after year Bethel wom-en,

their brow, pursue that won-derful

Sadie Hawkins approaching,

fairly seething with excite-ment.
Girls the world over are
out for a kill this year with
men numbering 2 to 1 on the
campuses of the nations."
Traditionally, each year a

theme "Nik Dag Around the

The term "curriculum re-vi

around Bethel lately. Surveys
passed out to both students
and faculty introduced Bethel
to one of the Academic Policy
Committee's (APC) first steps
toward curriculum changes.
Last May the APC, one of
Bethel's four faculty commit-tees
(comprised of six faculty,
four students and three ad-ministrators),
decided to take
responsiblity for the curricu-lum
review and revision pro-cess.
"The committee has
authority over the teaching
and academic policies of the
curriculum," said Stan And-erson,
professor of philosophy
and director of the committee.
The APC decided to handle
the review and revision in
three phases. Phase one will
determine the focus for cur-ricular

will design and develop an

The first step in phase one
was choosing a five-member
sub-committee to facilitate the
entire process. "All of the mem-bers
of the sub-committee are
from the APC," said Ander-son.
The sub-committee recently
surveyed student opinion and
suggestions concerning the
present curriculum. "One stu-dent
survey showed that the
number of required PE com-ponents
and the course credit

for students," said Anderson.

Political sphere needs
loving Christian concern
It is perhaps a necessary time for Christians to examine
their relationship to the political process. As Christians, we
should question carefully the candidates we are electing and
giving power to make decisions that affect many people and
For many years, Christians have been reluctant to exert
their influence on the candidates that are elected and on the
policy that shapes the country and the lives of its people.
Although the Bible commands us not to be conformed to the
world, it also states we are the light of the world.
In order to be the light of the world, we need to demon-strate
our God-given love, concern and wisdom for people
and for policies that shape their lives. With the truly mean-ingful
love God has given Christians, we cannot ignore the
fact that unemployment is at 10.1 per cent in this country,
and that social welfare programs continue to 'be cut as many
people are still living in poverty in such an affluent country
as the United States. We cannot stand by as armaments
throughout the world continue to build and to see innocent
people killed in conflicts, such as the recent Lebanon crisis
and Beirut massacre.
There are many more issues that should concern us as
Christians, both in this country and throughout the world,
but the point is that Christians must not ignore the political
process and election of candidates. We must exert influence
upon a world that greatly needs God-given guidance.
Christians need to influence the personal needs of people
along with spiritual needs.

Dear editor,
The 1981 Christmas Mail Call
was the most successful ever.
We would like to thank those
who participated by sending
Christmas mail. We have re-ceived
numerous reports from
the various agencies which
distributed the mail to our
young servicemen and worn-en,
telling how much all the
cards and letters were appre-ciated
at Christmas.
The 1982 Christmas Mail
Call is now underway, and
this is an ideal project for
individuals as well as college
groups and organizations. For
information on how to have a
part in this unique program,
please send a self-addressed,
stamped envelope to Armed

A new emphasis has been
taken by the International Stu-dent
Association (ISA) this
year. A planning committee
has been formed which con-sists
of approximately 10 to
12 students who have corn-mitted
themselves to one an-other
as a type of support
group. Their basic goal is
aimed not only at mission-aries'
kids, or international
students, but to anyone who
has had a cross-cultural exper-ience.
Sandy Stubbe and Brad
Olson, the committee's co-chairpersons,
work together
with Charlie Retts, dean of
men, to keep continuity within
the planning committee, and
delegate the jobs that need to
be accomplished. They place
much importance on trying to
get as much input as possible
from the group, maintaining
an equal involvement from
all, and making sure that the
delegated jobs are accom-plished.
Stubbe said that the ISA
favored this idea of a plan-ning
committee, as compared
to the more administratively
ruled club which has pre-viously

Chapel choir revival hopeful for Jan.
by Lori Boberg
Chapel Choir has been re-vived
this fall—at least in the
mind of its director.
Three years ago a choir
regularly performed during
Bethel chapel services. This
fall Tim Sawyer, a senior
music major, canceled audi-tions
because of lack of inter-est.
However, Sawyer said
the choir "is not a dead idea."
Sawyer said the choir pro-posal
came at a bad time when
"people were unwilling to
commit themselves." He added
that the music department
faculty, social ministries and
Pastor Spickelmeir are still
"really interested in getting
the choir going" and making it
a permanent group at Bethel.
Sawyer sees involvement
by students of other music
groups as a way of reviving
the choir, but he realizes most
of these students have already
made large time commitments
to their own performance
groups. Sawyer added that
the music faculty is not sup-portive
of involving these
music students.
Sawyer said he "would hope
others of the student body
would come out of the wood-work"
to join the Chapel Choir
if it is proposed later in the
Sawyer had planned to di-rect
the choir this fall and
Wes Davidson, a senior music
major, would take over in the
spring. Sawyer said he would
hope to see the choir started
in January.
Other colleges have good
chapel choirs, said Sawyer,
adding that St. Olaf has a
choir of approximately 200
students. "I'd be happy if we
could get 60- 80 people who
have had experience in high
school or other choirs," said
Sawyer said the Chapel
Choir would sing hymn ar-rangments
and other worship-ful
pieces. It would perform in
Wednesday chapel services.
Rehearsals would be limited
so students with busy sched-ules
could participate.

At last! The chance to deal with a serious subject.
I think we all know what next weekend is. It's Nik Dag
weekend. In all seriousness, I would like to propose that Bethel
women boycott.
1. It is extremely anxiety producing. There is nothing quite
like knowing that if you don't "get your man" someone else
2. Mass dates are not fun, Nik Dag is a mass date.
3. The peer pressure we are not to succumb to runs rampant

somebody?" "This may be your only date all year. Don't blow
I have nothing against school functions and I have no prob-lems
with a girl asking a guy out. I just believe that Nik Dag is
not a positive experience.
Let me share with you my one and only Nik Dag experience.
I am a shy person and did not want to go. My freshman floor
in Bodien talked me into it.
I took the bus over to Hagstrom dorm on old campus. It ar-rived
two hours before open season began, but I was forced to
take it because the next bus arrived an hour after Niking be-gan.
At approximately five minutes to open season girls began
huddling by the stairs leading to the guy's floor. The AD led
the countdown.
Ever see fifty hysterical girls run full speed up two flights
of stairs? It's similar to a buffalo stampede. Not a pretty sight.
Well, I quickly broke loose from the crowd and planted my-self
in front of the door of the man of my dreams. -
I knocked.
I waited.
I knocked.
He (sigh) opened the door. "I just got off the phone," he said.
"A girl just asked me to Nik Dag."
"Two hours," I stated.
The lad was confused.
"Two hours I waited to ask you to Nik Dag and some lousy
girl calls you on the phone while I am caught in a stampede!" I
I am not a good loser. I become hysterical and foam at the
I made the poor lad feel so guilty that he took me out the
weekend after Nik Dag and even paid for it himself.
Looking back, I count myself lucky for not having to Nik a
guy who jumped out of a window or barricaded himself in his
room just so a girl could "understand the nervousness we feel
when we ask them out."
You know where I'll be the weekend of Nik Dag? Probably
at the grocery store, where anxiety is low and festivity is high.

The Bethel vs. Wheaton De-bate
was held at the seminary
chapel on Oct. 19.
Debating Tuesday evening
were Mike Wiseman and Ke-vin
Hanson for Bethel and Jen-ny
Vessilus and Kevin Ryn-brandt
from Wheaton. Bethel
debated on the affirmative
and Wheaton on the negative
on this issue: "Resolved: That
vocational training should be
a major emphasis in Christian
higher education."
Hanson started by giving an
example of a fireman who had
gone to college and knew all
the theories of putting fires
out, but never had the oppor-tunity
to fight a fire. His point
was that there is a difference
between knowing theories
and applying them. Through
this he showed how the voca-tional
is just as important as
the educational.
Then Vessilus tried to prove
that the liberal arts is fine
without the vocational em-phasis.
She claimed the chief

education is to help students

said that the fireman example
was a "gross exaggeration,"
and that evidence was needed
concerning statistics or unem-ployment
in Hanson's first af-firmative.
"God has no prefer-ence
concerning vocational
training as compared to pure-ly
liberal arts in Christian
high education,' Vessilus said.
Wiseman pointed out how
vocational training plus lib-eral
arts equals a complete
education. He also said tht

combined, there is nothing
After this, Rynbrandt rede-fined

how vocational em-phasis
sacrifices the educa-tion.
He pointed out that peo-ple
become tools when they
work, so vocational training
should not be a part of Chris-tian
higher education.
As Wheaton debate coach
Edwin Hallatz said, "It was
like two ships passing in the
night." He pointed out how
each team fought for its side,
but neither addressed the is-sues
of the other.
On Oct. 22 -23 the Bethel
forensics squad sent three
teams to the Mankato State
University Invitational. Rep-resenting
Bethel in debate
were the teams of Scott William-son
and Dave Thornton, Deb-bie
Van Mark and Gordon
Fowler, and Steve Goodwin
and Mark Englund. This was
the first debate tournament
for all three teams.
In the six preliminary
rounds of debate against the
U of M, Coe College and the
University of North Dakota,
the Bethel teams accumulated
a 4 - 2, 4 - 2, and 3 - 3 record. The
team of Williamson and
Thornton advanced to the
final round against the Uni-versity
of North Dakota and
won on a 2- 1 decision.
On the basis of overall
record by all three debate
teams Bethel College won first

Bethel is a racist school.
Perhaps not many people here have noticed that. If it is not
much different from where we come from there may appear to
be no reason to raise any questions.
But Bethel is a racist school.
Perhaps we need to defend ourselves by explaining the
situation. Oru Swedish heritage, for example. There is no in-tentional,
overt choice to exclude anyone. It must be that mi-norities
don't want to come to a school like Bethel. Bethel, in its
curricular and social milieu, does not intentionally or overtly
belittle or hurt anyone.
Perhaps—but Bethel is a racist school.
"But I am not racist," each of us says. Perhaps.
I am left with two dilemmas. The first is that no matter what
behaviors I come here with, if I participate in something here, I
must develop attitudes that allow me to continue with some
sense of comfort. These attitudes will then follow me else-where.
If I tell myself Bethel is OK and can't help itself, then
there is no reason to be dissatisfied with racisism anywhere
A greater problem exists for me, however. We may cringe at
calling Bethel racist but we feel good about calling Bethel
Christian. How can we be both? The Old Testament acknow-ledges
our God's concern for all people. Christ paints a beauti-ful
picture of God's kingdom as a place where people from
north, south, east and west will sit down together at.a joyous
feast. Peter acknowledges at Pentecost that people hearing the
good news in their own language was an intentional fulfill-ment
of Joel's prophesy.
The early church struggled with racism still. Even Peter had
to be brought up short with a vision directing him to move
beyond his own cultural limitations. And early in the church's
history persons had to be chosen specifically to deal with the
effects of racism. It is interesting to note that in order to do this
the persons selected had to "be full of the Holy Spirit and wis-dom."
We need both God's viewpoint and God's power to real-ize
we are one with a much larger body. We need both God's
viewpoint and power to recognize and act on His good news.
To say we're a problem is one thing. To say we're not is to be
the chief contributors to racism because we who claim God are
called to be the agents of His justice. More dangerous, how-ever,
is that we misrepresent God to the world and call the
world to a feast other than the one Christ describes.
Overstating a case? I honestly don't think so. •
Laying a guilt trip? Maybe, but I don't believe guilt is a very
effective motivator. It works much better at sending people
into hiding. My goal is to call us to responsibility, corporately
and personally.
Can we do the job? I don't know if he originated it, but I
heard it first from Don Larson: "God doesn't call us to be suc-cessful,
only to be faithful."
Will we do the job? Alas, I have always had a cynical streak
in me. It is how I defend myself.

IgL-luri minorities
by Mike Doran
"I started the Cultural
Awareness Committee last
year to help deal with some of
the problems I faced as a
member of a minority," said
junior Satch Shaheed, chair-man.
One such problem was
his friends telling, racial jokes
in fun; "After a while the
jokes got old and they hurt,"
said Shaheed.
Cultural and racial insults
were usually done uninten-tionally,
said Shaheed. "I felt
that if the Bethel community
was educated on these prob-lems,
I could better handle
Bethel and students could bet-ter
handle me. I also felt that
others might be feeling the
same way, and in a group we
could discuss these feelings
and try to help each other
come to grips with them. Our
group was formed to raise the
cultural awareness of Bethel,"
he said.
Last year the committee
planned, organized, and ran a
week-long series of lectures
on race relations. Attendance
often exceeded 50 at the
group's meetings, where there
were answers to such ques-tions
as "What is it like to be a
black student?" or "What is it
like to be a handicapped
A typical meeting is very
informal. Individual needs,
whether spiritual or emo-tional,
are often discussed.
Additional topics of discus-sion
Shaheed read Ephesians
2:19 at a recent meeting: "So
then you are no longer strang-ers
and aliens, but follow citi-zens
with the saints, and are
of God's household."

Although the women's

Linda Channer, Royals' top

due to a hip injury suffered

Coach Bill Lau hoped to have
her back by Saturday, Oct.
30, for the MIAC conference
meet. However, at least one
other teammate of Channer's,
Wendy Norberg, took up the
slack with a fine performance.
Norberg successfully de-fended
her individual title
from last year, finishing first
in 18:41 for the three-mile
course. Her time was a per-sonal
best for the Bethel
Other finishers for Bethel
were Kala Neuroth, who, in
her second college race, placed
11th for the Royals in 20:33.
Slightly behind her was Leah

who had her best race so far
this season with a 22nd-place
finish and a time of 21:28.
Rochelle Kaehne completed
Bethel scoring with a 22:43,
good for 35th place.
Coach Lau was pleased

anything could happen." The

Despite the fact that three
regular varsity men didn't
compete last weekend Bethel
still managed a strong second-place
finish, while hordes of
Golden Valley Lutheran run-ners
attacked the course and
made off with the team tro-phy.
Only the first place effort by

the Golden Valley sweep
through eleventh place. They
tallied 24 points to Bethel's 64,
while Macalester, Gustavus,
and Waseca battled out third
through fifth, scoring 92, 94,
and 95 points, respectively.
St. Paul Bible College trailed
with 173 points.
Clark clocked in at 26:42

followed by Curt Wilken

the varsity, running 29:22.
The race was the last home
meet for seniors John Skelly,
Jack Lundberg, and Plocker.
Skelly pulled through with a
season's best time and, ac-cording
to Coach Whittaker,
Plocker's run was "excellent
considering his previous times
and slow course conditions to-day."
Whittaker also commented
that the meet could have been

Golfer Lawson earns
Alt-Conference honors
by Paul Davis
Bethel's 1982 golf team,
under the coaching of George
Henry, finished the season in
seventh place out of ten
schools in the MIAC tourna-ment.
Junior Bill Lawson was an
all-conference player, and tied
for fifth place in the tourna-ment,
which was held at North
Oaks Country Club.
According to Steve Whit-taker,
sports information di-rector,
Coach Henry is plan-ning
to do a lot of recruiting
for next year. Henry is proud
of the team as a whole, and
especially of Bill Lawson for
his outstanding performance,
said Whittaker. "The weather
was a hindrance for Bill—it
was rainy and cold—but he
did a fine job even after as-sessing
a two-stroke penalty
against himself."
"It was a re-building year
for them," said Whittaker.
"They are a young team with
a lot to look forward to. We're
looking forward to a strong
team next year."

Custom Prints & Design
What We Do
"Advertising without posters is like fishing without worms." – The Hatch Brothers
If you follow music, art, and culture of the American South, sooner or later you're bound to run into the letters, images, and unmistakable "look" of Hatch Show Print. We're one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America, and over the years our posters have featured a host of entertainers, starting with the early stars of the Grand Ole Opry like Hank Williams, Bill Monroe and Minnie Pearl, and continuing into this century, with artists such as Pearl Jam, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Mumford & Sons, to name just a few.
The shop carries on the tradition that put it on the map: At Hatch Show Print, the printer is the designer, and the designer is the printer. This meant large hand-carved wood blocks with iconic imagery printed in bold colors designed by Will T. Hatch and his staff in the late 20th century, and in the early 21st century, the designer-printers on staff at Hatch Show Print draw upon and continue to contribute to the ever-expanding image archive, by carving new blocks, out of wood or linoleum when a poster job calls for it, or using an old block in a compelling new poster design.
And, we've done it all without losing that irresistible appeal of turn-of-the-century Hatch posters, which were used to promote vaudeville, circus, and minstrel shows across the country. There's a reason why music lovers, Americana buffs, graphic arts collectors and designers, and commercial advertisers of all persuasions continue to turn to Hatch for inspiration. The work the shop turns out is, indeed, a tonic for the information age.
Custom Designs
Hatch Show Print designs and prints 500 to 600 posters per year, for entertainers on tour, venues around the world, and many businesses and organizations interested in using a Hatch Show Print poster to promote their products and services.
Custom poster pricing is based on the number of colors used in the poster. Please see our price guide, below, that also includes an order form. Turnaround time is typically eight to ten weeks, though it can vary.
We do not take orders electronically (including email), or via telephone, for custom posters. To place an order, we have created a form that can be filled out, printed and faxed, mailed or dropped off in person.
Please fax (615-254-5202) or mail the order for your poster (or if you are in town, drop it off in person) to the shop. The form includes an area for you to enter the copy that is to appear on the poster (the text), along with the quantity of posters needed, the number of colors to be printed, and your contact information. We do all the design and layout in the shop using antique wood and metal typefaces and imagery from the Hatch archive.
Please note that, as we adjust to being in our new home, developing educational programming, and building a robust inventory of incredible items to add to our retail shop and online store in addition to keeping up with the show poster schedule, we have suspended taking on custom designed work for personal events, such as wedding invitations and birthday celebration posters. As soon as we resume this type of design work, we will announce it; if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us at the shop, 615-256-2805.
To include a logo or photograph on the poster, you will need to provide a black-and-white, high-resolution digital file (pdf or jpeg), from which we will have a photoplate made for the production of the poster. There is an additional fee to cover the cost of the photo plate, that varies, depending on the size of the image or logo.

Alex Baker, a spokesman for Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity, also said that those 16 face suspension or expulsion from the frat and that the ASU chapter plans to issue a public apology to the university and community.
The national fraternity is putting the ASU chapter on probation for at least a year but is not yanking the group's charter.
However, university officials notified Tau Kappa Epsilon on Thursday that its recognition as a fraternity chapter at ASU was being permanently revoked for violating the school's student code of conduct.
An ASU spokeswoman said Friday that the university was aware of the national organization's response and it didn't change the school's action.
Pictures from the Jan. 19 party made their way onto social media websites.
The party drew harsh criticism from Phoenix-area civil-rights leaders, who demanded ASU officials expel the fraternity.
A letter sent to the chapter president by ASU officials noted that the 65-year-old chapter was on probation for a November 2012 brawl and had previous alcohol violations.
ASU officials said a majority of TKE members present at the party were underage and allowed to consume alcohol.
"The event and its attendees encouraged a racially-insensitive theme. Subsequent social media posts with the same racially-insensitive context were made available," wrote Kevin Cook, associate vice president for the dean of students at ASU.
Revoking recognition means the local TKE chapter is no longer affiliated with ASU, the group won't be listed on the university's website and it cannot recruit members or hold on-campus meetings.
Baker said in a statement that the MLK party wasn't an official fraternity event of the TKE chapter and "was not discussed or formally planned by the chapter."
He said one unidentified member hosted the event "at his personal residence … without malice or forethought."
The unidentified chapter members who attended the event have resigned their leadership positions with the chapter, Baker said.
Founded in 1899 at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Ill., Tau Kappa Epsilon has about 257,000 members at 291 chapters and colonies across the United States and Canada, according to its website.

New Zealand Secondary Schools Beach Champs comes to a successful end
Auckland, New Zealand, February 12, 2014 – The 2014 Secondary Schools
Beach Volleyball Championships was held over the weekend in Auckland with 143
teams participating.
The exciting finals were played in front of vocal crowds who filled the centre court. The senior boys' competition saw Tauranga Boys retain the title, with Caleb Apeharama and Thomas Reid defeated last year's silver medallists Jack Boyle with his new partner Will Clague from Otumoetai College in two close sets.
The senior girls' final featured Burnside High School (Christchurch) for the first time, with an impressive young team of Nicky Pio (Year 12) and Alice Zeimann (Year 11) facing off against Orewa College's Renee Ursem and Claudia Coghlan. This was another close final with both teams serving tough and swinging hard. The defence of Claudia was outstanding, picking up power hits from Alice without flinching. In the end Pio / Zeimann took the match 2-0 and continued the rise of South Island beach volleyball.
The junior boys' final was played between two schools developing a great rivalry on the beach, Westlake Boys High School and Tauranga Boys College. Greg Vukets and Greg Nimmo (Westlake) took on Daniel Kilpatrick and Luke Carter. Vukets/ Nimmo who were part of the team that won the North Island Junior Secondary Schools Indoor title were again out for gold and the Tauranga Boys were unable to stop them.

According to new spending projections issued by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the costs associated with implementing Obamacare over the next ten years are more than double what the Obama Administration claimed when first pushing for its passage. Through 2022, the gross spending requirements for the federal government to fully implement this progressive form of universal healthcare in the U.S. are an astounding $1.76 trillion dollars, also written as $1,760,000,000,000.
"The ACA's (Affordable Care Act) provisions related to insurance coverage are now projected to have a net cost of $1,252 billion over the 2012-2022 period," says the CBO report. "[T]hat amount represents a gross cost to the federal government of $1,762 billion, offset in part by $510 billion in receipts and other budgetary effects (primarily revenues from penalties and other sources)" (http://cbo.gov/publication/43080).
As can be expected, the economic implications of such a lofty hike in actual versus estimated costs are ominous. $1.76 trillion is nearly half of the entire 2011 federal budget (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_States_federal_budget), and more than 11 percent of the entire national debt (http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/). If it fails to get repealed or declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, Obamacare will translate into an enormous financial burden of unprecedented proportions.
"Only next year will we get a true ten-year cost estimate, if the law isn't overturned by the Supreme Court or repealed by then," writes Philip Klein at theWashington Examiner. "Given that in 2022, the last year available, the gross cost of the coverage expansion are $265 billion, we're likely looking at about $2 trillion over the first decade, or more than double what Obama advertised" (http://campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com).
Perhaps the worst part of it all is that the revised spending projections fail to specify how the money will be spent, or how it will even cover more underinsured or uninsured individuals. According to theWall Street Journal(WSJ), the spending plan will only provide insurance coverage for a small percentage of those currently without insurance, which leaves one to wonder where all this money will be going (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124536826475329427.html).
"The details haven't been made public, but the short version seems to be that President Obama's health boondoggle prescribes vast new spending without a coherent plan to pay for it even while failing to meet its own standards for social equity," says the WSJ. "The CBO score for a new entitlement is only the teaser rate, given that the costs will inevitably balloon as the years pass and more people mob 'free' or subsidized insurance."

A yogurt a day keeps the doctor away?
Well, no—but people who eat yogurt are healthier because they eat better than their yogurt-hating friends, according to a new study by researchers at Tufts University.
In the study, researchers asked 6,500 participants to fill out a survey that gauged their level of yogurt consumption, along with what they normally eat during the course of the day.
The results: 58 percent of the volunteers reported eating yogurt at least once per week. The rest of their diet were filled with other good-for-you foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
In addition, the yogurt eaters also had higher levels of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B12 than those who don't eat yogurt.
Yogurt tastes good and is good for our health? Awesome. But, does Pinkberry froyo count as the same thing? We're going to just assume that's a yes.

The Central Connecticut swimming and diving team completed its competition at the Sonny Werblin Invitational hosted by Rutgers University on Saturday. Senior Kristina Gulia was the highest-placing swimmer in an individual event, claiming third in the 100 yard breaststroke with her time of 1:11.11.
Sophomore Alaina Papiro touched the wall just behind Gulia in the 100 breaststroke with her time of 1:11.61, good for fourth place, and was followed closely by senior Erin Massey (1:15.24, sixth) and freshman Kaysha Dassler (1:15.60, seventh).
In another impressive top-five finish for Central, freshman Sabree Thomas placed fourth in the 100 butterfly with her time of 1:00.26, shaving over a second off of her time from last week against LIU Post (1:01.53). Thomas was joined in the top 10 in the field of 22 by senior Kellen Power who placed eighth, registering a time of 1:02.55.
Kathryn Kiely also earned a top-10 performance. The senior took sixth in the 200 yard freestyle with her time of 2:00.74. Kiely was followed by classmate Massey who finished 12th, clocking in at 2:03.84, good for 12th place in the field of 29.
Central boasted five other top-10 swimming performances on the day. Freshman Stephanie Czulewicz finished 10th in the 200 backstroke, registering a time of 2:15.95, besting last week's performance (2:18.20) by more than two seconds. Freshman Janel Crespo followed in 14th with her time of 2:19.04.
In the 200 breaststroke, Gulia displayed a ninth-place showing with her time of 2:34.07, exactly two seconds faster than her performance last week (2:36.07). Papiro followed in 12th with her time of 2:35.87. Freshman Lisa Ward clocked in at 2:39.25 (14th) and classmate Christine Rasile touched the wall in 2:42.83 for 17th.

The remaining top-10 performances from the Blue Devils came in the 400 yard IM in which Czulewicz touched the wall ninth in 4:54.94, followed closely by Kiely (4:55.12, 10th) and Selene Chilton (5:00.01, 11th).
Other strong individual performances included Rasile, who placed 12th in a field of 60 in the 100 freestyle event with her time of 56.33. Massey came in just behind in 56.49, good for 14th. Also, Czulewicz was the top CCSU finisher in the 100 backstroke with her time of 1:04.45, also finishing 14th.
In the relay events, the Blue Devils garnered top-five finishes in all three in which they competed. In the 400 freestyle relay, Rasile, Thomas, Massey and Power clocked a 3:47.78 for fourth place. The foursome also claimed fourth in the 200 freestyle relay with their time of 1:42.82. Thomas and Massey also helped lead the 200 medley relay squad to fifth place (1:55.77), along with Czulewicz and Papiro.
Overall, Central displayed 22 top-10 swimming performances on the day, including six in the top-five.
From the diving board, sophomore Jessica Goldman placed third in the 3-meter competition on Friday, however, Saturday's 1-meter results are not yet available. Updates to follow when Saturday's diving results become available.
The Blue Devils return home for the Blue Devil Diving Invitational this Saturday, Oct. 26. The meet is scheduled to begin at 12 p.m.

But despite these setbacks, said one grower, Dave Shapiro, gardeners are still harvesting far too much produce. When he realized much of the surplus crops were being thrown away, he enlisted Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley to create a program to collect and donate the food to seniors, free of cost.
On August 17, their joint vision bore fruit when they hosted the first-ever "Vegetables for Seniors Day."
The event, held at the Middle Village Adult Center on 75th Street, attracted several dozen seniors looking for fresh, free vegetables and fruit. It will be held periodically throughout the remainder of the harvest season.
Seniors lined up for eggplants, tomatoes, scallion, onions and other produce, including a variety of fruit and herbs.
The food was donated by growers and three area supermarkets who agreed to participate in the program: Florist Hills on Woodhaven Boulevard, the Key Foods on 63rd Drive, and the C-Town on Metropolitan Avenue.
"Who better to bring extra produce to, especially fresh, locally grown products, than our seniors?" Crowley said at the event, where she helped pass out vegetables. "With the cost of everything going up today there's no better time."
"Its great, especially for senior citizens [who have fixed] incomes," said Dave Parker, a Middle Village resident and gardener who attended the event. "I'll be back."
Paulina Tobacco, who lives in Richmond Hill, said the free produce would be a big help.
"I'm interested in the vegetables because I do cook," said Tobacco. "I think this is lovely."
The next scheduled "Vegetables for Seniors Day" will take place at the same location on September 14, according to Crowley's office, which plans to host them at several-week intervals through the end of October.
Shapiro said he is confident the idea will catch on.
"We're hoping that this will become a movement," and spread to neighboring Queens communities, Shapiro said. (Daniel Bush)

I wrote recently about the anti-Obama T-shirts on display at Washington's Dulles Airport. This week I can report that at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, there are big cut-outs of Barack and Michelle Obama. But they're standing by a display of shirts reading "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for McCain and Palin" and another reading "NOPE (with the Obama campaign logo) – keep the change." The times they are a-changin'.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should note that out in the real America, the airports of Albuquerque and San Diego, there are no T-shirts on display for or against any politician. It's like they don't think Americans care about politicians.

By Samisoni Pareti
Tourism Fiji, the marketing agency of Fiji as a tourist destination has been forced to issue a public apology following an embarrassing langugage blunder on one of its social media postings overnight.
In a video about everyday Fijian terms posted on its Facebook and Instagram pages, Tourism Fiji used the Fijian word for church – valenilotu – as the meaning of the word 'toilet.'
The mistake went viral on social media overnight before Tourism Fiji pulled the post and upload an apology in its place before lunch time today.
"Sincere apologies everyone," states the online apology. "Content fact-checking was clearly inaccurate and the post has since been removed. Apologies for any offence this may have caused," adds Tourism Fiji.
When IB Online followed this up with a request for an explanation from the office of the Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Fiji, Matthew Stoeckel, his office issued this statement to all the media networks.
"Tourism Fiji would like to apologise for an incorrect translation of an iTaukei word which was posted within a video on our social media accounts that was attempting to showcase every-day Fijian words to our international visitors," says the TF statement.
"The mistake was due to a mismatch of graphic design and failure of our quality assurance process. The post was removed this morning by Tourism Fiji's social media team shortly after the organisation became aware of the mistake.
"Tourism Fiji takes full responsibility for the error and sincerely regrets any offence this post may have caused our fellow Fijians. We take this situation very seriously and are reviewing our internal processes to ensure this does not happen again."
A fully-funded agency of the Fijian Government, Tourism Fiji operates on an annual grant of between $30 to $40 (US$14.5m - US$19.4m) million. It is headquartered in Nadi, close to Nadi International Airport on the west coast of Fiji's main island.
FIJI is still the number one tourist destination in the Pacific region attracting a little over 840,000 visitors last year with a total estimated earnings of US$4.3 billion from all countries in the region. And authorities are projecting a 2.2 million tourist arrivals to the region by 2020.
The provisional tourist arrivals for the 18 member countries of the South Pacific Tourism Organisation is 2.13million for 2017.
Fiji's visitor arrivals increased by 6.4 per cent last year due to strong growth in tourist arrivals from New Zealand, the United States of America and Australia.
Cumulative to February, visitor arrivals rose by 2.4per cent led by increased arrivals from New Zealand, US, Continental Europe and China.

HIGH taxes and service charges have pushed Fiji's major revenue generator into the more expensive destinations for tourists. With VAT increasing from 5 to 10 per cent and Service Turnover Tax reducing from 10 to six per cent and Departure Taxes at $200 per passenger, what was once a popular choice for New Zealanders and Australians may soon be out of reach for families.
And families are the key to the success of tourism in Fiji. Hoteliers have been forced to find creative ways to sell their destination and product in a very competitive market where technology has had a major impact on how companies reaching out to their customers.
The Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association has lobbied government not to tax the only industry that it claims actively and positively addresses environmental issues through pro-active self-funded programs. During a media workshop organized by the association in Suva last month, participants discussed the need to reduce the tax levied on the industry. Instead, tourism operators want the same taxes spread across industries which impacted the environment. These taxes would be collected and used to fund environment protection programs.

In a bid to provide a regional platform for dialogue on matters of interest in international and regional tourism, the first ever Pacific Tourism Insights Conference (PTIC) will convene in Vanuatu next month. Through a memorandum of understanding (MOU), the conference is a joint collaboration between the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO), Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) and Vanuatu Tourism Office (VTO) The one-day conference will bring together regional and international thinkers, professionals and leading reputable companies such as Trip Advisor, BBC Worldwide Asia and other reputable organisations. Priya Chand of Islands Business talks to SPTO chief executive officer Christopher Cocker for get an insight on the inaugural conference and other tourism-related matters in the region.
IB: What is the main purpose of the inaugural Pacific Tourism Insights Conference in Vanuatu?
COCKER: IT will be very important for us to make contact and strengthen our existing relationship with PATA which has tremendous Asian connections. A partnership between PATA and the SPTO would have enormous potential for possible entry of the Pacific into the Asian market for our regional destinations.

FULL-TIME missionary and university science graduate Nanise Rainima will represent Fiji at this year's Miss World Pageant to be staged in China in November. There are three things on her mind: to spread the word about her faith, to promote her culture, and to create awareness about climate change.
The 25-year old lass from Nakelo, Tailevu has a distinguishing feature that makes her stand out. The "buiniga" or traditional Fijian afro hairstyle that she wears with pride. "It's the true epitome of Fijian beauty," she says. Nanise will be the first indigenous woman to represent Fiji at the global event. Previous contestants have either been part-European or Indian with long straight hair.
She calls it a blessing having the "buiniga" but reaction on social media from outside Fiji has not been receptive. However, she is determined to fully experience what the pageant has to offer, both the negative and positive. "I'm fully aware of what I'm getting myself into and I'm ready." It's not usual for a missionary with a strong evangelical church background to be entering pageants. But this is nothing new to Nanise.

Friday 12.5 miles
Got out with fellow grumpy old men GZ and The Sweeney this morning. 12.5 miles in 1:39. No walking needed today but we did run a pancake flat route down in Boulder. 7:55 average pace and I felt good, I'll take it... for now. I need to get out of the hills more often until I'm fitter. Above all else I had fun and enjoyed the run.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled unanimously that inherited Individual Retirement Accounts are not afforded the same protection from creditors in bankruptcy proceedings as retirement assets held by the original owner, the Associated Press reports.
The case centered on a Wisconsin couple who argued that a $300,000 IRA the wife inherited from her mother should be shielded from creditors when the couple filed bankruptcy. Writing for the court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the change in ownership status of the account makes it less like retirement savings and more like a pot of money available to pay off creditors, the AP reports. Without the ruling, she wrote, nothing would prevent the couple from using their balance "on a vacation home or a sports car immediately after her bankruptcy proceedings are complete," according to the AP.
The ruling will likely affect some families' estate planning decisions, Encore reported last fall. Attorneys said at the time that if the Supreme Court rules the way it did, some families will decide to bequeath their IRA assets through trusts, which could shield them from bankruptcy settlements but would also involve more paperwork, costs and complexity. It's not easy to incorporate an IRA into a trust, said Jeffrey Levine, IRA technical consultant with Ed Slott and Company, in Rockville Centre, New York, and parents will need to weigh their children's savviness with money, among other factors, when making that decision.

2012 Big Bash Blasts Offby Jim Amidon • June 1, 2012 Share:
Even moments before registration for the 2012 Big Bash Reunion Weekend had officially opened, Wabash alumni and their families were lined up to get the festivities underway.
The College expects more than 350 alumni to return for reunions, including the 50th reunion of the Class of 1962. The Class of 1962 is led by Class Agents Terry Fewell and Tom Feit, as well as Reunion Gift Chair David Downen.
According to Tom Runge '71, Interim Dean for College Advancement, reunion attendance awards could be broken. In addition to a strong showing by the 50th reunion class, Runge said he expects records to be set by the Class of 2007 and the Class of 1967. He also said a large group of "Golden Little Giants" — men who graduated more than 50 years ago — is expected to attend.
The Wally Wabash Golf Outing begins at 10 a.m. Friday, and shortly after a series of colloquium talks get underway. The colloquies are 45-minute presentations by alumni in reunion classes and this year range from spending retirement in an RV traveling across the country (Class of 1962's Thiom Feit, Don Hill, Tom Houk, and Larry Ritzenthaler) to what it's like to migrate from mainstream print journalism to Yahoo news (Ron Recinto '87).
A full schedule of activities is available here.
The most exciting event of the weekend is the Alumni Chapel Sing, which takes place on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. That's when each reunion class gets a chance to sing "Old Wabash" on the Chapel steps in front of a panel of Sphinx Club judges. After every class has sung, the entire alumni body takes a turn at singing the best and longest college fight song in America.
Runge said the Class of 2007's record turn-out is a tribute to Class Agents Ross Dillard and Josh Owens. Many of the five-year reunion attendees will stay in Wolcott and Thomas halls. "We've offered the dorms as low-cost accommodations for years," Runge said, "but this is the first year a class has chosen to take over."
That may make sleeping a little tough for James McQuillan '72, who while returning for his 40th reunion, asked specifically to sleep in his old student room in Wolcott Hall.
The oldest "Golden Little Giant" back for Big Bash is Paul Honon from the Class of 1943.
The Class of 1952, celebrating 60 years, also has a big group back, including Andy Andrews, Paul Arnold, Mike Austin, Norm Buktenica, Sam Harrell, Chris Kirages, Tom Klingaman, John Poncher, Bill Reinke, Hugh Smaltz, Ted Steeg, Nick Steele, Jim Thomas, Russ Thrall, and Irmi McKInney, wife of the late Paul McKinney.
But the focus of the weekend will be on the Class of 1962, and about 50 members of the class are expected to be on hand. At Friday night's Big Bash Banquet, each member of the class will be introduced and President Patrick White will present each man with his 50th reunion medallion. Near the end of the night, Downen, Fewell, and Feit will present the 50th reunion class gift, which could reach as high as $3 million.

"... as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" [Joshua 24:15]
Finally there is a book that is devoted exclusively to all NEC requirements that directly relate to fire and electrical shock hazards. These rules were chosen by Mike as the most relevant safety rules that every electrical professional needs to be aware of. This is a great reference tool for code compliance, electrical training, and is ideal for weekly safety meetings. This book distills all of the code rules down to the essential rules that really address the issues of safe electrical installations and should be in the hands of every electrical professional.
The articles in the book have been taken from Mike Holt's Illustrated Guide to Understanding the National Electrical Code, Volume 1.
Answer keys are included with all Mike Holt books.
