Seniors Sponsor
Frolic April 17
An all-school frolic, sponsored
by the senior class, is set for
Thursday night, April 17, at 7:30.
The college gym, to be decorated
with streamers and balloons, will
be the scene for the gay affair
called by the senior class an "all
school carnival."
According to Bernie Hogan, sen-ior
class president, the affair will
be non-profit—an "informal night
of fun for all." Booths will be set
up for participation in various
games of skill. Hotdogs, candy
bars, taffy apples, and pop-corn
will be sold.
There will be no general admis-sion
charge but each activity will
cost a small sum payable in tickets
which will be sold to everyone as
they need.
As a highlight for the evening
will be an entertainment program
put on by the senior class and
faculty members.
Committee members for the
event are senior class members
Bernie Hogan, Ruth Martinson,
Lois Redin, Eleanor Johnson, Mar-garet
Fridberg, Rueben Johnson,
Dave Washburn, arid Ronald Nel-son.
BWA Highlights Year
With Formal Banquet
"Springtime" is the theme of the
annual BWA spring formal ban-quet
which will be held Wednes-day,
April 30, at 7:00 p.m. in the
dining hall.
Testimonies by the graduating
sophomores and seniors, a tradi-tional
part of the spring banquet
program, will again highlight the
evening. The new officers will be
installed in an impressive candle-light
service and special music will
be included in the program.
General Chairman of the event
is Carol Bessey with Florence Oh-man,
Florence Jacobsen, and Han-nah
Plaut assisting.
Speech Winners
Will Receive
C ash Awards
Do April showers bring May
flowers? If so, then April awards
bring May rewards. The Bethel
Speech department announces two
speech contests for the near future.
The Dr. Martin Ericsson awards
of fifteen dollars and ten dollars
each will be given to the first and
second place winners in the prose-poetry
reading contest. Selections
may be taken from more than one
poet or author. The length of read-ings
may vary from five to seven
minutes. The script is to be read
and not memorized. It is hoped
that many •students will register
for the contest before April 11.
The Dr. Alford Hanson awards
of twenty-five dollars, fifteen dol-lars
and ten dollars will be given
to the first three winners of the
oratory contest. The topic may be
some aspect of any theme that
has current national significance.
The writing shall be the original
work of the speaker. Ten minutes
speaking time is allowed. To enter
the contest, students should see
Mr. Schultz about their plans be-fore
April 11. The script for the
orations should be ready to file
with the speech department by
April 18.
The date for the preliminary
contests is Thtirsday evening, April
24. The final contest is set for
April 25. Each entrant may re-ceive
instructional guidance from
the speech faculty.
In the card catalogue, in a file
drawer marked Slide Filmstrips,
can be found titles to the films
available. Several films in the
"Life of Joseph" series will por-tray
Joseph's purchase by the Eg-yptians,
his imprisonment, his
dreams come true, his revealing
himself to his brothers, and his
reunion with his family. Of partic-ular
help to church organizations
is the filmstrip entitled "How to
Lead a Discussion." For Christian
training, films such as "Reading
Your Bible," "Rescue of the Per-ishing,"
"Story of the Sunday
School," or "Take Your Family to
Sunday School," will be of help.
Much historical knowledge can be
found in the "Two Thousand Years
Ago" series having separate films
entitled "The Travelers," "Syna-gogue
and Passion," "Day's Work,"
"The School," and "The Home."
Reservations for films can be
made with the clerk in charge
at the check out desk in the lib-rary.
No film projector is furnish-ed
with the films. Regulations for
the use of the films have not been
rigidly set as yet however it is
generally expected that no film
strip be checked out until the day
it is to be used and they must be
returned promptly, the day follow-ing
their use.
According to Russell Baus-tian,
Student Council president,
donations totaling $30.60 were
given by Bethel students in the
recent Red Cross fund raising
campaign. The money was col-lected
by student red-cross rep-resentatives
in the dormatories.
The money has been turned
over to the St. Paul Chapter
of the American Red Cross.
B Club Advises
Nickname Change
Two free tickets to the J. S. Ban-quet
this spring is the award for
the Bethelite who gives the best
suggestion for a new Bethel nick-name.
Last Monday in the chapel the
"B" Club annouced that the school
will change its nickname as well
as colors for the following reasons:
Application for entry into some
Minnesota college athletic confer-ence
will soon be made; a more
appropriate name than "Indians"
is wanted so as to be more repre-sentative
of Bethel activities; the
colors red and white are not dis-tinctive
enough and are quite com-mon
among Minnesota colleges.
All students are asked to partici-pate
in the contest to give Bethel
a new name to represent school
activities. Friday, April 18, 10:30
a.m. is the final time for entries.
Entrants are required to writ
their selections on the blanks pro-vided
them in chapel, and include
their name and the date and time
the entry is made. All entries are
to be put in the ballot box provid-ed
for them in the hall in front of
the chapel. Entry blanks are avail-able
at the ballot box.
Male Chorus Plans
Mich. Tour In May
The Male Chorus will make an
eight day spring tour into Michi-gan
May 3 to 10. The following
itinerary is tentative. Their first
appearance will be at Ashland,
Wisconsin, Saturday night, May 3.
On Sunday, May 4, they sing at
churches at Ironwood, Iron Moun-tain,
and Iron River. Monday they
visit Manistique; Tuesday, Luding-ton;
Wednesday, Cadillac; Thurs-day,
Muskegon; Escanaba, Friday.
A program for the Saturday they
return is yet to be arranged.
Choir Makes Record
For Sale on Tour
Using the library as a recording
studio March 25 and 31, the Chapel
Choir recorded three selections
which will be cut on 12-inch rec-ords
and sold on the choir's Calif-ornia
tour and at the Centennial
Conference in June.
"The Word Believing", Sateren,
is recorded on one side and "Draw
Me Nearer, Nearer My God, to
Thee", W. H. Doane and , Lowell
Mason, a capella arrangement by
Soderstrom, and "The Lord Bless
You and Keep You", Lutkin, are
on the other side of the record.
The oratorio consists of tenor
and bass recitatives and solos,
"Could Ye Not Watch," "He Made
Himself of no Reputation," "King
ever glorious," with the choir
singing the choruses, "Fling Wide
the Gates," "From the Throne"
and also several hymns, "Cross of
Jesus," "God So Loved the World,"
and "Jesus the Crucified."
Composed of students of the col-lege
and seminary and members
of various Twin City Conference
churches, the choir has been prac-ticing
every Monday evening for
about 10 weeks. This is the second
performance by the Oratorio Choir,
the first one being the Christmas
portion of the "Messiah" by Han-del
given in December.
26 Submit Entries
In Tract Contest
Herb Hage, seminary junior, in
charge of the tract contest spon-sored
by the Religious Council, is
happy about the response in the
number of tracts submitted. The
deadline date and time, midnight
last Friday, was too late for him
to stay up, said Herb, but when
he emptied the entry box in the
college building early Saturday
morning, the number of entries
totalled 26. They were all sizes and
descriptions and in general "look-ed
good" Herb continued.
The entries were turned over to
the judges Monday and the results
will be annouced after Easter va-cation.
Judging the entries are Dr.
Virginia Lowell, head of the Eng-lish
Department, Clifford Larson,
assistant professor of religious ed
ucation, and Miss Esther Sabel, as-sistant
professor of Bible. First,
second, and third place winners
will be awarded twenty, ten, and
five dollars respectively.

i generally don't share my mail with students for they don't understand my language
but since this is election year and i may run for office i better present my platform
now. here's a letter i received.
Dear Smorgy, my worthy successor and fellow-Indian,
Horrible and terrifying was my dream last night, Smorgy, hence this Special
Delivery - Air Mail letter to you. Here it is: It was Homecoming Weekend, 1952. I
arrived too late to take part inth e Annual colorful red and white parade from the
Campus down Snelling Avenue to Highland Stadium. Arriving by streetcar from the
Bus Depot, I dug up the usual ticket fee to buy my ticket. "Sorry" said the person
selling tickets, "the price is $11.75 now!" Reluctantly (and broke) I paid her, asking
why the increase. She said, "You'll see" Smorgy, I did see it and it was horrible,
positively awful. I thought I was at the wrong game. I had on my old Bethel sweater,
proudly displaying by "B"-letter, my red and white pom-pom in my hand, an old
one from years ago. I ascended the bleachers, lost, in a maze of uninspiring green
and gold. Searching and bewildered I finally spied Marty the Moth, an old Alumnus
of my Bethel days. He broke the news to me, sitting there on his old Bethel sweater
to hide the old colors. He didn't want to appear old-fashioned, with the old Red and
White. I took mine off too, and threw my pom-pom away, they looked so out of place.
Marty said that the school had changed the colors (at quite an expense I suppose, all
those new uniforms) and also changed the team name to the "Caterpillars". They
looked it. Bethel men in their hideous striped uniforms lay sprawled and squashed
on the field. None of the old Bethel "Indian" fight in that team in their green and
gold. I asked Marty about the $11.75 item. He said it cost quite a bit to make the
change-over so the ticket price was affected. It seemed only last week I got a letter
asking for a new pledge. Smorgy, I was sure glad when I woke up to find that it
was only a nightmare and not the truth. But it sure made me think. Well, I'll close
for now. See you next Homecoming signed "Archie, the Cochroach". Bethel '48.
if ever i become one of the alumni i hope i don't have this experience.
New Chinese Student Praises Bethel

Easter Bunny Visits Bethel
by Nancy Schnorr
'Tis early Easter morning at Bethel and as usual, I, the Easter bunny am busily
trying to find places to hide my many brightly, colored eggs. My first stop is room
104 in the Bodien residence. "Ah! I thought, this will be quite easy. With desks and
chairs piled three feet high and inches of dust on just everything, 'twill be simple
as anything to hide my eggs."
The next stop is right next door at Flossie's room and just what could be better
than an egg in each cow-bell. It wasn't quite as easy as I thought though because I
had to remove all of the straw and other things which were acquired on Flossie's last
Gospel Team assignment before I could put the eggs in the bells. In room 103 'twas
quite simple, too. 'Twas quite easy to hide a few small eggs among all of the snake-skins,
pigeon-feet, wolf-heads, clam-shells, etc.
Anne Larson seems to be so blind that I think that I could hide the eggs in the
middle of the floor and she wouldn't see them. After all, anyone who can't even find
a missing mattress certainly wouldn't be able to find a few, small Easter eggs.
After finishing my task in the girls dorm, I advanced to the Edgren residence.
My first stop there was at Deac's room. Among all of the many kinds of flora it was
quite easy to hide an egg or two. I thought perhaps I could hide some of my eggs in
the scrub-pails and other cleaning implements, but on investigating the rooms, I
decided that the eggs might spoil and decay before they were found there.
In closing I just leave this one last word with you. If you don't find any loot from
the Easter Bunny, just do your spring house-cleaning.

Who hath believed our message? and to
whom hath the arm of Jehovah been re-vealed?
For he grew up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:
he hath no form nor comeliness; and when
we see him, there is no beauty that we
should desire him.
He was despised, and rejected of men; a
man of sorrows and acquainted with grief:
and as one from whom men hide their
face he was despised; and we esteemed
him not.
... But he was wounded for our transgres-sions,
he was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement of our peace was upon
him; and with his stripes we are healed.
... He was oppressed, yet when he was
afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a
lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a
sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so
he opened not his mouth.
... Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt
make his soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in
his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and
shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of him-self
shall my righteous servant justify
many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with
the great, and he shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because he poured out
his soul unto death, and was numbered
with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin
of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors. ISAIAH 53.
Where's Bethel's ColoySense
by Ann Radunz
The school is contemplating on changing
its colors. I'm all for it, but the shades of
green and gold which hung from the screen
in chapel Monday morning are, in this
writer's opinion, Ghastly.
There are many reasons why I do not
particularly care for these combinations.
In the first place I do not like gold for a
school color. It looks too gaudy, especially
when mixed with a primary or secondary
color such as green is. According to my
knowledge of colors, a shade of purple or
blue is the only color that blends especially
well with gold. Even this depends on the
gold. With a yellow-gold, purple would be
used, and with an orange-gold, blue. How-ever,
I do not advocate either of these
Another resentment towards green and
gold is that such horrid combinations may
be put together. A dark green with a bright,
deep gold, is too heavy, too majestic, where-as
a light green wouldn't be very effect-tive.
It has too much yellow in it, which is
what constitutes most gold coloring, and the
yellows, in varying shades and intensities
would undoubtedly conflict.
Just because some institutions seem to
be devoid of a color sense when they choose
their colors doesn't mean that we should
follow in their footsteps.
With a secondary color such as green, I
would recommend a lighter, less intense
hue. To me, green and grey seem to be
ideal colors. What do you think about it?
Have you any better ideas? Let's hear about
them. The school colors are as important
the name, so let's make them good!
em5 of Tbougbt
by President Wingblade
The late William Jennings Bryan was one
of the greatest orators of recent decades.
At the age of thirty-five, "the boy orator
of the Platte" so stirred the Democratic
convention with his "cross of gold" speech
that he was nominated, almost by accla-mation,
for the presidency. Indeed, he was
a presidential candidate three times—and
he served as Secretary of State under Wood-row
But more than that, Mr. Bryan was a
great Christian. He was one who loved the
Word of God. His debate with the infidel
lawyer, Clarence Darrow, rang across the
I heard Mr. Bryan at a University of
Minnesota covocation tell of his trip around
the world and how he brought back from
the pyramids of Egypt a handful of wheat
kernels, that he was told had lain on those
shelves for many centuries. He took them
back to his farm in Nebraska and planted
them in the soil, and they sprouted and
grew and brought manifold fruitage.
Then Mr. Bryan said: "If God could in-still
a life in those little kernels that would
remain through the long centuries and
then in the soil sprout forth and flourish
with rich fruitage—can He not impart to
His own, eternal life that evermore shall
These days we are reminded in a special
way of the resurrection of Christ and of
the promise of God, to raise up those who
are identified with Him.
When a sinner is born again, there is
a resurrection that takes place in his heart
and life. "The spirit answers to the blood
and tells me I am born of God."
Then, for those who die in the Lord,
there is a promise of the redemption of
the body: "The same spirit which raised
up Jesus from the dead will quicken your
mortal body."
How glorious then to contemplate that
we do have a risen Lord, even in this
world, who lives within our hearts and is
able to make us more than conquerors in
every situation. There—is true freedom and
victory, for "He has led captivity captive."
But the condition is that we be identified
with Him by faith and through the living
From Death Unto Life
by Mary Radunz
The still black night was broken only by
an occasional streak of lightning, followed
by a deafening clap of thunder; a soft
rain fell silently from the starless sky. In
the dim light one could see a hill and on
that hill three crosses. A sudden flash of
lightning outlined them against the sky.
Over the middle cross was a sign ... "This
is Jesus, King of the Jews." Another flash
of lightning illuminated the middle cross
in a pale blue, unearthly light. Nailed to
it was a Man; blood streamed from the
wounds in His hands and feet. Upon His
head was a crown of thorns, cutting into
the flesh; on His face and body was the
spit of a mocking throng, and upon His
shoulders lay the sins of a wicked world.
The sinister black night appeared to be
one of defeat. If so, the defeat was but a
stepping-stone to victory ...
The rays of the morning sun fell pleas-antly
upon the fresh green earth. Some-where
a bird chirped merrily; a light
breeze stirred the bright spring flowers
in the grass. Nearby was a rock-hewn tomb,
with a huge stone rolled to one side of the
door. The tomb was empty. The earth
seemed at peace, and there was a note of
triumph in the air. In the calm of that
morning, one could feel the presence of
Christ. No longer in the grave, He had
risen and was alive—alive to walk and talk
with those who would follow Him—alive
to give strength and peace ... and hope.
But after He arose, Christ also gave a com-mand.
He said to His disciples and to us,
"All power is given unto me in heaven and
earth, Go ye, therefore, and teach all na-tions,
baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost ... and lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world."
Perhaps you have noticed the dark-haired
girl who with her native clothes picturesque
of China and friendly smile makes quite an
addition to Bethel campus.
Virginia C. Lee arrived in the United
States February 27 of this year from Hong
Kong, China.
In 1938 Miss Lee heard a noted evangel-ist
and God revealed through him the
vision of lost souls and that He wanted
her in full time service for His glory. She
was then preparing to be a teacher and
realized the value of education for her
people. However after hearing the evangel-ist
she realized the gospel, which brought
new life and salvation was needed even
more than education.
After waiting five years the chance came
to go into full time Christian service under
Evangelistic China Fellowship and co-work-er
with Pastor Andrew Gih.
She was used of the Lord in her travels,
and stayed from time to time in Shanghai
in Macau, where the gospel first came to
China. Then she went on to Hong Kong.
Formosa saw much of Miss Lee in 1948
and she worked there that year in Evan-gelistic
work. With a pastor and his family
she founded a church in Formosa. The peo-ple
she reached for Christ there were large-ly
refugees who escaped from communist
held inland China. She found these people,
who were in a strange land,, very eager
for the gospel.
She attended Yen Ching University in
Peking China and taught three years in
Bethel Bible Seminary.
Virginia came from a Christian home;
her father was an Episcopalian pastor and
her mother is now in Han Kow communist-held
For fear of hazarding her mother's life,
all correspondence • with kin within inland
China is carried on by writing to a friend
in Hong Kong and having the friend mail
it on to them as from Hong Kong. Their
messages are very brief, usually just say-ing,
"I am well."
In '49 she was given a scholarship from
Northwestern Schools, Minn., and grateful-ly
jumped at the opportunity to study in
America. Plugging through red tape and
regulations, it took her 3 years of prepara-tion
before she arrived in San Francisco.
"What do you think of Bethel?" was the
next question.
"I have been here only a short time,"
was her reply, "But to me, a foreigner, the
chapel services have meant a lot. It takes
a while to adjust, especially with my speak-ing."
She smiled, "perhaps we can't meet
together in everything, but we can meet
together in Christ."
"Bethel emphasizes religious work and
that I like. This together with credit for
social standing ... (What is that American
saying?) kills two birds with one stone."
"After at least two years here I plan
to go back to China, preferably inland
China where I was reared and again take
up Evangelistic, Mission work." Her face
beamed as she mentioned her first love,
mission work.

Dear Mr. Editor;
Through the years many issues
of an ethical nature have been
discussed pro and con here on our
campus. The present issue is a
part of what should be common
Christian courtesy. From many
voices we can hear the declama-tion
against the practice of "buck-ing"
the line at the Dining Hall.
Those who have to hurry to work
or such places should have prior-ity
and go to the head of the line.
Students with visiting guests, par-ents
or other close relatives should
be allowed this privilege also. But
no student, man or woman, should
hold a space in line for his or her
friends and then allow two, three,
or four people to crowd in. If
all or several of the boarding club
were allowed this privilege where
would the student without a friend
at the head of the line be?
May this letter be enough of an
incentive for the men and women
of Bethel to remember to show
common Christian courtesy to their
fellow students so that no other
measures of correction are need-ed.
In the words of an old worn
adage: "A word to the wise is suf-ficient."
A council of men.
You have stated your complaint
clearly. We have no opinion other
than to say that we will let your
letter speak for itself to bring its
own results, one way or the other.
Dear Editor:
I don't tink dar is anyting wrong
wit the name "Indian" to repre-sent
our atletic activities. It is a
name dat vee should be proud of
and the first time I heard it I
really taut dat it had a lot of fight
in it. It is much better dan an an-imal's
name like badger, wildcat,
bear, or gopher. I hope vee keep
the name "Indians."
Yours truly,
(Eric Borgeson—cam-pus
Dear Eric:
Glad to have your opinion. No
doubt there are others on campus
that feel the same way you do. We
would like to have more letters
to the editor expressing campus
opinion in this matter. The final
choosing whether or not we will
keep the name "Indians" will no
doubt be up to the administration
but student opinion will influence
the decision we are sure. What:
ever the outcome is, we hope they
give serious thought to the matter
so that if we must drop "Indians"
we will have another nickname
equally representative of a fighting
team. We understand that the win-ning
name in the current "new
nickname" contest will not neces-sarily
become the new nickname.
It will only be judged as the best
among the entries. Ed.

Missionaries to Receive
Letters from Students
Within the next week a drive to
write letters to all Conference mis-sionaries
now on the fields will get
underway by the Foreign Missions
Fellowship. According to John
Weld, president of the Fellowship,
10 cent air-mail folders will be
sold to students desiring to write
to the missionaries. Over fifty mis-sionaries
are now on the world-wide
fields and it is hoped that
three letters can be written to each
before the school year is over.
Florence Voth, freshman, is the
in charge of the letter-writing pro-ject.
Ten students, representing
the seminary and college classes,
as well as each dormitory will en-list
writers and check with them
to see that the letters are written
on time. The first round of letters
are expected to be completed and
mailed by Friday, April 18.
The above mentioned ten repre-sentatives
of the project will soon
start selling the air-mail letter
forms and will encourage students
to write. Addresses of the mission-aries
will be typed on the letter-forms
before their sale.

For ,German Workers
Part of Bethel student mission-ary
giving is being sent to Ger-many
to help support Christian
workers who are establishing an
active Christian witness in six uni-versities,
some behind - the Iron

last five months of the school year
for the support of this work. Al-ready,
300 dollars have been sent
to Kenneth Norquist in Germany

Choir Announces
Spring Tour Plans
Chapel Choir members will take
to the road via Greyhound for two
spring week-end tours during April
and May. The Southern Minnesota
area is the destination for the
April 18-19 trip, the Saturday night
concert scheduled for Ballaton,
Minnesota, home of Warren Nel-son,
a member of the choir, and
Sunday concerts at Lake Sarah in
the morning, Slayton Presbyterian
Church in the afternoon and In-dian
Lake Baptist Church at Wor-thington
in the evening.
In May, the choir will leave for
Chicago and surrounding territory,
The first concert will be at the
Baptist Tabernacle in Kenosha,
Wisconsin Friday, May 9. At the
present time, Saturday is open, and
Sunday, May 10, the singers will
be in Chicago at Central Avenue
Baptist Church in the morning,
Addison Street Baptist Church for
a Chicago Young Peoples' Rally
in the afternoon and Elim Baptist
in the evening. Temple Baptist
Church at Rockford, Illinois will
be the host church for the Mon-day
night`concert, after which the
choir will return.
The exterior was completed sev-eral
weeks ago. The interior is
now beginning to take the shape
of a modern recreation unit. The
bleachers on both sides of the
basketball court are completed and
will seat close to a thousand spec-tators.
A three-foot walk way trav-el
lane has just been poured in
concrete in front of the bleachers.
Soon, a basketball floor of top-grade
maple wood will be laid.
After the court is marked off,
there will be a five-foot margin
of wood flooring between the trav-el
walk-way and the court bound-aries.
Locker rooms for both men and
women's gym classes and athletic
teams are located under the blea-chers
on the west side of the
building. Under the east bleachers
will be space for a small correc-tional
gym and two class rooms.
The class rooms might be tempor-ary
according to Dean Carlson un-til
the school's athletic program is
further developed when they will
be put to use for recreational pur-poses.
In the front of the building
(north) will be located the public
washrooms and the ticket office
and lobby. The addition to the rear
of the building (south) is for the
offices of the gym instructors and
will provide locker rooms and
showers for both the visiting teams
and the game officials.
Building Will Be Dedicated
During Centennial Celebration
In a Clarion interview, Dr. C. Emmanuel Carlson, dean of the col-lege,
announced that the new field-house auditorium building will be
finished right on schedule in the middle of May. No major hold ups on
the project have been made necessary by inclement weather or lack of
building materials.
Dean Carlson further said that no plans will be made for official
use of the building during the remainder of this school year. The build-ing
will be dedicated during the Centennial celebration of the General
Baptist Conference this June.
Until May 30th—a special 10% discount to Bethel Students

Spring Enrollment
According to the dean's office,
twenty-three new students have
registered for the spring quarter.
At least six of these twenty-three
have attended Bethel previously.
The college registrants include:
J. Wesley Anderson, Minneapolis;
Richard Athony, Waukegon, Illin-ois;
Betty Beck, Minneapolis; Tho-mas
G. Buchanan, Carrington, No.
Dakota; Ethel Christensen, Chica-go;
Bernam De Long, Amery, Wis;
J. Wesley Forsline, Cook, Minne-sota;
Virginia Lee, China; Morris
Motley, Ogema, Wisconsin; Sanfred
Ostlund, Tioga, No., Dakota; Ar-thus
Robbins, Minneapolis; Roger
Tippetts, Freeport, Illinois; Allen
Travaille, Ocheyedan, Iowa; Bev-erly
Widen, Minneapolis; and Don-ald
Yerington, Tipton, Iowa.
Also in the college are two spec-ial
students: Mrs. Marilyn Bohne,
Minneapolis, and Mrs. Marian Pet-erson,
St. Paul.
Enrolled in the Seminary are Ar-thur
W. Bayley, Page, No. Dakota;
Alfred Bergsten, Minneapolis; Milo
Coldren, Hillsdale, Michigan; Rob-ert
Goodrich, Minneapolis; Frank
Shindo, Seabrook, New Jersey. Rob-ert
E. Bergerud of Hutchinson,
Minnesota is enrolled as a special
student in the Seminary.
The enrollment has been as high
as 547 students previously this
year. At the present time, however,
it has dropped to approximately
495 as a result of prior cancella-tions.
Girls End Season
With 3 Victories
Playing only six games this sea-son,
the Bethel girls' basketball
team ended the season with three
wins and three losses.
This year the team was coached
by Bob Sandin, a Seminary stud-ent,
who concentrated on control
and team work and brought the
team close to the best seen in the
past few years. Again their tradi-tional
rivals, Northwestern, Bethel
only lost by 6 and 3 points in two
games. Next year it is hoped that
Bethel will be on top.
Three of the games were played
away from the home floor, and
consequently the team had to ad-apt
to playing on a larger floor.
Next year this handicap will be
overcome by the new field house.
High point team member
throughout the season was Jan Mc-
Kinney, with Bev Shade placing
second. Scores for the six games
are as follows:
Bethel 25
Murray Grad. 26
Bethel 26
Northwestern 31
Bethel 49
Macalester 12
Bethel 16
Macalester 7
Bethel 19
Northwestern 22
Bethel 37
Murray Grad. 26
Next year it is hoped that the
season can begin much earlier and
involve a conference league or per-haps
one of the city park leagues,
so that more games will be played.

Vie for Title
East meets Minnesota for the
championship in the Intramural
League final basketball game of
the season today. Both teams land-ed
in the finals after mild upsets
of favored teams in the earlier
Opening round play found Illin-ois
downing Michigan 54-39, and
Minnesota tripping Twin Cities 65-
51. Iowa trampled West 50-38 and
East drew a bye. In second round
competition, East upset favored
Illinois 52-41; and favored Iowa
was rudely shocked by Minnesota
The consolation title was to be
played on Tuesday, between Illin-ois
and Iowa. (Clarion went to
press too early to print the score.)
Open Mon. &
Thurs. evenings
Little is known yet as to the possibilities of the season in baseball
and tennis. Coach Del Peterson reports that very few have indicated
an interest in baseball this year, with the result being a doubtful situa-tion
as to competition. Some of the fellows have been practicing getting
ready for any possible season play. These include Mel Nygren, Don
Ericksen, Jim Baxter, Chuck Smith, Stan Lindgren, Dean Stromwall,
Ron Nelson, Fritz Frederickson, George Visel, Bob Franzen, and Gene
Ristow. Several teams to be played will be Bethany of Mankato, Luther
of New Ulm, and Northwestern School of Minneapolis. In tennis, quite
a group of fellows have indicated their interest to Coach Peterson, and
some competition will probably be lined up.

Additional Details
the contents are those topics for lesson and quizzes. i am going to create a system for a teacher and a student, whereas, the teacher will serve as a server.

This week's Photo Friday entry: 'Stand Out'
Click image to go to see alternate sizes.
This here is a sea slug of some kind (I'm not sure if he is a Nudibranch or a Flat worm). Unlike last weeks photofriday submission, this little chap is not aiming for camouflage. He likes to stand out. His lively colours announce to the world (and any creature that would like to eat him) "Watch out! I'm toxic. Do not eat me!" I found him crawling along the rocks underwater in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

The streaming music service Rdio has tapped Anthony Bay -- a former digital media executive at Amazon.com Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. -- as its new chief executive.
This ends a search that began in June when the company's former CEO, Drew Larner, said he would step down after a replacement was found. Larner will become vice chairman and strategic advisor to Rdio's board of directors.
Rdio, the San Francisco company founded by Skype co-creator Janus Friis and launched in 2010, has been trying to compete in a crowded industry that includes larger competitors such as Spotify and Pandora.
To do so, Rdio, which charges a subscription for its on-demand service, has introduced new offerings, including free mobile access to its revamped music stations. Terrestrial radio giant Cumulus Media Inc. recently took a significant equity stake in Rdio's parent company, Pulser Media, a deal that will result in a free, ad-supported version of the service.
"We set out to build the best music streaming experience and we feel we have accomplished that," Friis said in a statement. "Now we need to expand our global reach and subscriber base."
Before being named Rdio's CEO, Bay was the head of Amazon's global video business. He has also served as the chairman of the digital music provider Loudeye, after working in a variety of leadership roles at Microsoft and spending eight years at Apple.

If you haven't been to our OS Resources page lately, you haven't missed much action, because like many online resource pages, a lot of effort went into it long ago when it was launched, but it's been lacking attention since, with only occasional updates. Alas, thus is the sorrow of Web 1.0. We'd like to drag OS Resources into the participatory web, and let the OSNews community help keep it up to date. Wiki seems like an obvious solution. So I'd like to ask, dear readers, is there a Wiki system that you think would be especially good for a small-but-growing OS Resource guide? There's Mediawiki, of course, but it seems a bit heavyweight and user-unfriendly for something small and simple. I've had good experience with Mindtouch Deki, but thought I should examine other options before picking it. So what do you think? Is Wiki the way to go, if so, which one? And what would you like to see in our new OS Resources?

Say "no" to online preschool
On October 10, we joined Defending the Early Years and leading educators and advocates to reject online "preschool" and demand real universal pre-K programs. Will you join us? Decades of research show the benefits of early education, but millions of low-income and rural families still lack access to high-quality preschool. This unequal access harms kids, families, and communities, but some Ed Tech companies see it as a lucrative opportunity to corner a $70 billion "preschool market."

Keep digital billboards away from Michigan schools
Michigan Senate Bill 953 would allow public school zoning to be included in "unzoned commercial or industrial areas." This would allow digital billboards like the one pictured here to go up on public school property, subjecting vulnerable children to bright commercial advertising. The bill has passed and is on the way to Governor Snyder's desk for consideration. Sign our petition to protect children from this bad idea. Marketing does not belong on school grounds, where kids can't turn it off...

"THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE: TBL" � (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET)
"Pilot" (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)
ASHTON KUTCHER EXECUTIVE PRODUCES, MISCHA BARTON AND ELLE MACPHERSON STAR � Raina Marinelli (Sara Paxton, "Last House on the Left") is a stunning beauty with a secret past who makes an unforgettable impression while strutting down the runway in a Zac Posen (guest starring as himself) gown during New York Fashion Week, and effectively steals the spotlight away from fellow model Sonja Stone (Mischa Barton, "The O.C."). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons, and is now desperate to convince her agent, Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson, "Friends") that she can reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. Deemed the new "it" girl, Raina soon meets Chris Andrews (Ben Hollingsworth, "The Line"), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy just entering the modeling world, and takes him to the "models' residence" where she lives along with other young hopefuls, including Marissa Delfina (Ashley Madekwe, "Secret Diary of a Call Girl"), Isaac Taylor (Corbin Bleu, "High School Musical 2") and the current alpha-male model known as Cole Shepherd (Nico Tortorella, "Twelve"). Christian Duguay directed the episode written by Adam Giaudrone (Pilot).

Work of Prof. Chris White Among The Best Ten-Minute Plays
August 8, 2012
A short play by Chris White, associate professor of English at DePauw University, is included in a newly-published anthology, The Best Ten-Minute Plays of 2011. Released by Smith and Kraus, the title presents "the best 10-minute plays produced during the 2010-2011 theatrical season ... in one essential book," according to a synopsis.
Professor White's play, Thespian, is among the works in the book. A short description of the play notes, "When a Brooklyn construction worker decides to audition for a play, his best buddy helps him beef up his resume with some on-the-job training on the subway into Manhattan."
"While living in Brooklyn with my children and attending graduate school at NYU (in dramatic writing), I rode the subway nearly every day," White says. "Moments of drama -– both subtle and blatant –- happened there ceaselessly. And it seemed a sacred place to me, where humanity, with its weaknesses, its cravings, it aspirations, and its courage, could be humbly observed, seat after seat, car after car. It seemed a place where we were all created equal. Where investment bankers, homeless people, actors, teenagers, children, old people, theatre-goers, drug dealers, nurses, small business owners, construction workers, divorcees and activists met for a few minutes a day, on their way to other places where they would separate, once again, into their own exclusive niches. These moments of coming together could not be avoided."
She continues, "The seed of my short play was planted in me on the subway during that time. What I saw on that particular day on the subway bench some ten feet away from me, were a youngish man and woman engaged in some kind of banter which I couldn't hear. I wasn't sure whether they were lovers, brother and sister, friends, co-workers… But I was intrigued by the fact that along with this playful, yet intense, banter, came an occasional slap in the face! More like a clip than a full out blow. I watched their camaraderie, their humor, their intimacy, their authenticity, and I'd never seen anything quite like it; simultaneously, they were utterly familiar to me."
According to the professor, "In the play, I'm trying to capture the feeling I get from both the great equalizer that is the subway and the great equalizer that is good theatre. From both of these comes the same wisdom: our similarities (isolation, vulnerability, longing, loyalty…) are far greater than our differences. Armed with that awareness, we can do anything. Plus, at the end of the day, we can all use a good laugh."
Thespian premiered at Bloomington (Indiana) Playwrights Project in 2010 and has since been produced at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the 2012 Adelaide Fringe Festival.

The traditional 40 year career no longer exists. The average person changes jobs at least 7 or more times during their career. The ruling pardigm is to work 40 years to retire on 1/3 of what wasn't enough during those 40 years.
When was the last time that you actually sat down, thought about, and answered the following:
- How long do you expect or want to live?
- When do you want to retire?
- How many years does that give you to finance your retirement?
- How much do you want to have monthly in retirement?
- Do you want to have less in cash than you do now?
- Do you think it's important to own Gold & Silver?
Think about it in this way, if you were hiking in the mountains and found a gold nugget, would you keep it or would you throw it into the river?
- Are you now working or considering working 2 jobs just to make ends meet?
What if I told you 2 jobs are really for 2 people.
What if I told you that you could work for 4 years to build FINANCIAL FREEDOM for the next 40 years and beyond!

Stephanie Coontz, an award-winning author and nationally recognized expert on gender, family and the media, will visit Northern Illinois University on Feb. 26, to deliver a set of lectures celebrating Women's History Month.
Hosted by the NIU Women's Studies Program, both events are free and open to the public.
Coontz's seminar – "How to Talk to the Media About Your Scholarship (and Get Them to Listen)" – will take place from 10 to 11:15 a.m. in the Capitol Room South of the Holmes Student Center. The informal discussion will focus on how to get academic scholarship into the media and how to talk to the media about academic research.
The lecture – "50 Years After the Feminine Mystique: How Far Have We Come?" – begins at 6 p.m. in Room 100 of the Visual Art Building. The talk will focus on challenges that women of different races and classes faced in the early 1960s, as well as "new mystiques" that women face today.
Coontz has taught history and family studies at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., since 1975. She serves as co-chair and director of public education at the Council on Contemporary Families, and has appeared as a guest expert on a variety of television and radio shows, such as "The Colbert Report," "The Oprah Winfrey Show" and "20/20," among others.
In addition to numerous scholarly and journalistic articles, she is the author and editor of seven books that focus on gender, family and media, including "Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage," "The Way We Never Were: American Families and the Nostalgia Trap" and "The Way We Really Are: Coming to Terms with America's Changing Families."

MotorWeek Video Transcript: Indiana's BioTown Project
Davis:Much has been said about the environmental issues now facing American drivers: the needs to reduce greenhouse gases, to increase fuel economy and use alternative fuels, and reducing our dependence on foreign oil are all keys to a clean driving future. But it will take more than individual commitment to reach those goals; we need action on city, state and federal levels for any environmental efforts to truly make a difference. And one small town is doing just that, and in the process blazing a green trail for the rest of us to follow! Reynolds, Indiana is typical of many small farming communities found across the Midwest. This town of 500 people covers a square half-mile at the intersection of two state highways. A train goes by every couple of hours, and the USA Restaurant serves as defacto town hall, where news of the day is discussed over coffee and eggs. Just a quiet, ordinary town…
But it was this very ordinary-ness that led the State of Indiana to choose Reynolds in 2005 as the location for a novel experiment called BioTown USA. The goal: To be the first community in America to meet all of their energy needs from local renewable resources.
Co-managed by Indiana's Department of Agriculture and the Office of Energy and Defense Development, the project has evolved over three phases: First was to switch the town's vehicle fleet to use E85 and Biodiesel. General Motors stepped in and offered discounts on Flex-Fuel vehicles and even gave away a 2-year lease to 20 of the towns residents. College student Brooke Weaver was one of the lucky ones, and uses E85 when she can find it
Brooke Weaver:It's actually a dream come true. I've always wanted a Monte Carlo. I almost bought one a couple of months before I got this one. The E85 verses the gasoline, the E85 is a little bit less in the gas mileage, but it really isn't noticeable.
Davis:To encourage the use of renewable fuels, a "Bio Island" with E85 and B20 pumps was added to the town's lone gas station, and VeraSun Energy has broken ground nearby on a new 110 million-gallon-per-year ethanol plant, ensuring a steady supply of local E85 for the future.
Charles Van Voorts, Town Council President:We actually ended up with over 150 flex-fuel vehicles in our community. Along with that, the town received two biodiesel trucks and one Police vehicle that runs on E85. So, it was a really good deal for the town, and vehicles that we very badly needed—so the timing couldn't have been any better.
Davis:The next phases of the BioTown project involves making electricity and synthetic natural gas from local biomass resources like corn stover and paper fluff, as well as municipal sewage and hog manure—a commodity Reynolds has in great supply. There are over 150,000 hogs within a fifteen mile radius of the town, not to mention countless acres of corn, soybeans and wheat.
A Technology Suite planned to open in 2008 will include three types of equipment: Gasification, using high temperatures and controlled oxygen to break down organic materials, producing a gas that when burned will generate heat steam or electricity. Anaerobic Digestion, which breaks down liquid sewage in to methane gas and a concentrated fertilizer. And Fast Pyrolysis that combines high temperature without oxygen to convert biomass into steam heat and low-grade oil. Never before have so many energy saving technologies been used in one location.
Van Voorst:We're hoping at the end of the day that we're able to produce not only enough energy for the community, but also to sell some back on the grid for more income for the community and the town, so it's a win-win situation.
Davis:Most importantly, all of the funding for the Technology Suite and Bio Island has come not from the State, but from local bonds and private sector investors. At the very least, the BioTown project will reduce the energy and waste disposal costs for Reynolds and nearby communities. But, we think BioTown proves that when it comes to regaining our energy independence, individual effort is fine, but even a small community banded together can do great things!
Fred Buschman, Lifelong Resident:We're adopting a policy here that hopefully will spread clear across the United States, where we won't throw so much stuff away. It'll be exciting, it really will—I'm looking forward to it!

Even House Majority Whips need some ornithology schooling. Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey in the Netflix series House of Cards, demonstrates in episode 12 of season one that birds–specifically parrots–maintain exquisite complexities in both behavior and appearance that differentiate one species from another. Such intricacies are not easily detectable to the untrained eye. Fortunately, Underwood finds the publisher and field guide to solve his parrot identification dilemma: Princeton University Press's Parrots of the World, written by Joseph. M. Forshaw and illustrated by Frank Knight.
When asked to identify the caged bird in the kitchen of Raymond Tusk, played by Gerald McRaney, Underwood, who hails from South Carolina's 5th congressional district, dismissively offers, "Carolina Parakeet," a "midsize green parrot with yellow head" with orange upper cheeks. "You're wrong, but you're close," rebuts Tusk. He expounds, as noted in Parrots of the World, the Carolina Parakeet is extinct; the winged beauty in the room is a Sun Conure, a "black-billed yellow conure with green primaries and secondary-converts."
Underwood comes to realize he has been too quick to assume and should have first honed his identification skills, both in birding and the context of his political conquest. Don't follow in his footsteps–take a closer look at some Parrots of the World two-page spreads here:
From the macaws of South America to the cockatoos of Australia, parrots are among the most beautiful and exotic birds in the world–and also among the most endangered. This stunningly illustrated, easy-to-use field guide covers all 356 species and well-differentiated subspecies of parrots, and is the only guide organized by geographical distribution–Australasian, Afro-Asian, and neotropical. It features 146 superb color plates depicting every kind of parrot, as well as detailed, facing-page species accounts that describe key identification features, distribution, subspeciation, habitat, and status. Color distribution maps show ranges of all subspecies, and field identification is further aided by relevant upperside and underside flight images. This premier field guide also shows where to observe each species in the wild, helping make this the most comprehensive and user-friendly guide to the parrots of the world.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 5, 2009) -- After one of the most impressive individual performances in ETSU men's basketball history, senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) hopes to build on his 39-point effort against Jacksonville on Saturday, as the Buccaneers take on North Florida in Atlantic Sun Conference play Monday inside Memorial Center. Tip is set for 7 p.m.
The Bucs -- who are now in sole possession of first place in the A-Sun -- hope to keep things goings, as they are off to a 9-4 overall start and have a perfect 3-0 mark in league action. Meanwhile, UNF has struggled to a 2-11, 0-3 record so far this season. ETSU's 9-4 record is the best start for a Buccaneer team since the 2003-04 season.
The game will air on live video streaming available at ASun.TV, while the live radio broadcast will be offered on the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network's flagship and affiliate stations, as well as on ETSUBucs.com.

The series against North Florida
ETSU and North Florida have met only five times ... Both schools joined the Atlantic Sun Conference for the 2005-06 season and the Bucs are 5-0 all-time against the Ospreys, including a 92-68 victory in their last meeting back on Jan. 27, 2008.
Last time against North Florida
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2008) - Senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) scored a game high 19 points, leading a group of Buccaneers that posted double figures as the ETSU men's basketball team grounded the North Florida Ospreys 92-68 in Atlantic Sun Conference action at Memorial Center ... A crowd of 3,562 witnessed the Bucs improve to 11-9 overall, 5-2 in A-Sun play, keeping pace just one game behind Jacksonville for first place in the regular season standings. Meanwhile, a nightmarish season continued for UNF, as the Ospreys dropped to 1-18, 0-7 ... While Swader led the way with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the floor - including a 3-of-5 showing from 3-point range - the Bucs also got 14 points and 11 rebounds from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who picked up his second double-double of the season. Along with Swader and Tiggs, senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) added 18 points, while senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) pitched in 12 points apiece ... In the first half, UNF had the game tied at 7-7, but from there the Bucs went on a 25-9 offensive run to build a 16-point lead at 32-16 with just over five minutes left before the intermission. The Ospreys got to within 13 with 2:47 left, but ultimately a 3-pointer from senior post Reed and four straight from Pigram made it 48-32 at the break ... The Bucs opened the second half where they had left off in the first half, going on a 15-7 run to increase their advantage to 24 points at 63-39. ETSU kept the pressure on with a bevy of 3-pointers to ultimately lead by as many as 30 with just over six minutes remaining in the contest ... In all, the Bucs out-rebounded the Ospreys 46-35, while forcing UNF into 18 turnovers on eight steals. In addition, ETSU hit on 80 percent of its foul shots (28-of-35) and shot 43 percent from the field ... North Florida got a team high 17 points from Stan Januska, while Tom Hammonds and Kyle Groothuis netted 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 3, 2009) - Senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) set a career high and nearly broke the Memorial Center single game scoring mark by scoring 39 points, while junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) sank a floating shot with 4.5 seconds left in regulation, lifting ETSU past Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville 84-82 Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Center ... After Smith missed two free throws with 44.9 seconds left, Jacksonville's Leman Colbert later tied the game at 82-82 with a pair shots from the charity stripe with 32 seconds left. Smith then found redemption, taking a pass from Pigram and driving to the left to make a 10-foot floater off the glass, giving the Bucs the lead 84-82 with 4.5 seconds left. Jacksonville's Travis Cohn later had a 3-point attempt at the buzzer that came up short and the Bucs escaped with the win ... With the victory, ETSU improves to 9-4 overall, 3-0 in A-Sun play, while Jacksonville fell to 3-8, 2-1 ... Pigram was joined in double figures by Smith with 11 and fellow senior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) with 13. Meanwhile, on the boards freshman post Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) led the Bucs with a team high 11 rebounds. For Jacksonville, six Dolphins reached double figures with Lehmon Colbert scoring a team high 15 points, while teammate Marcus Allen posted a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds ... In the first half, the Bucs got off to slow start and allowed Jacksonville to pull ahead by nine points on a couple of occasions, including a 29-20 advantage with just over seven minutes left before the break. Five 3-pointers - with three coming from guard Evan Jefferson - were the key to the Dolphins early success. ETSU responded in the final minutes, outscoring JU 15-10 the rest of the way to make the score 39-35 at the break ... The Bucs rallied out of the gate in the second half, using their fullcourt press defense to get a pair of turnovers and ultimately take the lead at 49-48 on a 3-pointer by Pigram with just under 17 minutes left in the game. Jacksonville then responded with an 8-0 run of its own to make it 56-49 with 15:16 left in the game, but powered by nine straight points from Pigram the Bucs outscored the Dolphins 17-8 over the next three minutes to make it 66-64 with 10:39 left ... In a game of runs, a 7-0 burst by the Dolphins was followed by another 9-0 stretch by the Bucs that made it 75-71 in favor of ETSU with 5:49 remaining in the game. JU regained the lead at 76-75 thanks to a bucket by Colbert and a 3-pointer from guard Ben Smith, but three straight foul shots by the Bucs made it 78-76 with 3:27 left ... From there, ETSU built a five-point lead at 81-76, but shooting 1-of-5 from the line down the stretch, Jacksonville was able to tie the game on Colbert's free throws, setting up Smith's heroics.
Pigram remarkable in 39-point effort agains JU
He had "that" look, and ETSU fans were treated to one of the most impressive individual performances in Buccaneer basketball history ... Senior guard Courtney Pigram's 39-point effort in ETSU's 84-82 victory over Jacksonville in Jan. 3 tied for 9th on the program's all-time single game scoring list, while coming up just three points shy of the Memorial Center's all-time single game scoring mark of 42 points, which was set by Dimeco Childress against Western Carolina back on Feb. 14, 2002 ... Pigram's efforts moved him to an average of 20.5 points per game, which ranks second in the league behind teammate Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who is first in the league at 21.0 ppg.
9-4 start ranks as one of best ever for Bucs
Since the 1966-67 season, only 12 other ETSU teams have started the season at 9-4 or better ... And in fact, none of those teams played fewer home games in their first 12 contests than this year's squad, which has played at home just twice this season ... In more recent years, the Bucs 9-4 mark matches the same start for the 2003-04 season, when that team opened the year at 9-4 through 13 games ... The Bucs' three non-conference road wins this season (Tn. Tech, Marshall and Appalachian), also fall just one win shy of the 2003-04 season in which the Bucs won four non-conference road games (Houston, UNC-A, Tn. Tech and Fresno State) ... That 2003-04 squad ultimately finished with 27 wins, a SoCon regular season and tournament title, and a trip to the NCAAs.
Tiggs currently ranked among nation's best scorers
Having scored 168 points in just the last six games, ETSU senior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) currently ranks 13th in the country in scoring with 21.0 points per game ... Tiggs leads the Atlantic Sun Conference in points, while senior teammate Courtney Pigram (Memphis) is just behind in second place at 18.6 a contest ... In fact, Tiggs and Pigram are the only two players in the country from the same team to be No. 1 and No. 2 on their conference scoring list.
Brown steps up to join the Big Three
While senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), and junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) have been the talk of ETSU fans and Atlantic Sun opponents, redshirt freshman forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) has gotten into the act lately, helping the Bucs to their second league win of the season, 76-62 over Kennesaw State ... Brown scored a career high 18 points, and set personal marks for field goals (nine), field goals attempted (10), and minutes (38) ... He then followed up that performance in the Bucs' next A-Sun game, posting a career high and team best 11 rebounds in the win over Jacksonville (1/3).
ETSU picked among nation's best
"Prestige" programs
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 22, 2008) - Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball - marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 - the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to a new "Prestige" ranking released by ESPN.com ... The Buccaneers, who have enjoyed six NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT berth, seven 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85, ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. The Bucs also were placed ahead of every current member of the Colonial Athletic Association with the exception of Old Dominion ... In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as other major programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.
Tiggs also in "rare air" with nation's best scorers
For senior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), the month of December has certainly been special when it comes to his scoring efforts ... In a recent listing of best scorers in December (12/23), Tiggs ranks 8th overall:
Stephen Curry, Davidson 37.3
Ben Woodside, N.Dak State 33.3
Stephen McDowell, Chattanooga 31.0
Jermaine Taylor, UCF 30.5
Three tied at 29.0
Michael Bramos, Miami of Ohio 27.8
Kevin Tiggs, ETSU 27.7
Tiggs is also 1 of 10 in the country averaging at least 20 ppg and shooting at least 50.0 percent from the floor. Those players include:
Blake Griffin of Oklahoma, James Harden of Arizona State, Drake Reed of Austin Peay, Travis Holmes of VMI, Jerome Randle of California, Chavis Holmes of VMI, David Huertas of Mississippi, Kevyn Green of Southesat Louisiana, Sam Young of Pittsburgh, Eric Maynor of VCU, and Manny Harris of Michigan.
Pigram makes history with triple-double
With his 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Wingate (11/20), senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) became just the second ETSU player to record a triple-double and the first to reach that special feat in NCAA Division I play this season ... He joins former Buc Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) on that exclusive list at ETSU ... In Atlantic Sun Conference play, Pigram is just the sixth player to accomplish that feat since 1996-97, and he is the first to post a triple-double against a non-conference opponent ... A full list of those players can be found below:

We saw this story on Friday over in the Toronto Star, but really — it was such an underwhelming story to publish we almost didn't go with it, even though a Chevy PR stud was adamant that they weren't ready to release anything yet — cause you know how we love to throw down stuff that ain't ready-for-release. But then we saw the official announcement this AM, and remembered being inundated this weekend with the onslaught of jingoistic Chevy Dream Cruise PR, and realized that maybe by "American Revolution" Chevy really means a "North American Revolution" — and yeah, that'd include Canada too. Yeah, we know, all that for a one-word joke — but hey, what can we say — we've been told to never cut funny — no matter how stupid the story. [Yes, the picture above is yet another billboard trailer spotted during the Dream Cruise.]

The Athletics, who have won nine of 10, outscored the Indians 30-6 in the series.
Oakland saved its best for the final game, pounding out 12 hits and drawing nine walks. Cespedes' two-run double was the key hit in Oakland's four-run fifth. He also drove in two runs with another double in the eighth.
Moss was 3 for 3 with two walks and scored four runs. He had an RBI double in the fifth, a two-run double in the sixth and a triple in the second.
John Jaso's RBI double in the fourth put Oakland ahead for good while Josh Donaldson, who drove in seven runs in the series, had an RBI single in the fifth and scored four runs.
Jesse Chavez (4-1) gave up solo homers to Michael Bourn in the first and Michael Brantley in the fifth, accounting for both runs the right-hander allowed in five innings.
Cleveland has dropped four straight and six of eight. The Indians scored first in all three games, but were no match for Oakland, which leads the AL West with a 28-16 record.
Justin Masterson (2-3) allowed seven runs, seven hits and five walks in 4 1-3 innings.
Indians manager Terry Francona moved Nick Swisher and Carlos Santana, who have battled season-long slumps, down in the batting order, but the changes didn't help the struggling offense, which has scored three runs or fewer 24 times in 44 games.
Santana was hitless in four at-bats while Swisher was 0 for 5 and committed an error in the seventh. Swisher fielded a routine grounder to end the inning and was given a sarcastic cheer by the small crowd of 14,872.
Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall also had an error, giving the Indians a major-league high 45.
Bourn led off the game with a home run to center that landed in Cleveland's bullpen, but the lead didn't last long.
Moss started the second with a triple. Chisenhall fielded Cespedes' ground ball and his throw landed in the camera bay behind first base. Cespedes was given an RBI.
Masterson walked Donaldson and Moss to start the fourth. Jaso's one-out double put Oakland ahead and Josh Reddick followed with a single for a 3-1 lead.
Oakland put the game away in the fifth, stringing together four hits and a walk off Masterson. Following Donaldson's RBI single, Moss drove in a run with a double and Cespedes' double scored two more.
Jaso and Reddick also drove in two runs apiece.
Oakland shortstop Jed Lowrie left the game in the second inning because of a strained neck and was replaced by Nick Punto.
NOTES: Bourn's homer was the eighth of his career leading off a game and the first for the Indians this season. ... Cespedes, who has had a hamstring injury, was the DH on Sunday. ... Oakland manager Bob Melvin said LHP Scott Kazmir, ejected in the second inning Saturday, will likely stay on his regular turn and start Friday in Toronto. ... Indians SS Asdrubal Cabrera had the day off. ... Oakland LHP Joe Savery will go on the paternity list Monday. The Athletics open a three-game series at the Rays on Tuesday.
