'Cup of Trembling' To Open Thursday in Isaacson Chapel
by Jeannine Cedarleaf
On Feb. 27, 28 and 29 the North l'ark College drama department will
1,resent "The Cup of Trembling" by Elizabeth Berryhill. The perform-ances
will begin at 8 p.m. in Isaacson Chapel.
"The Cup of Trembling" is a fictionalized account of the life of
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian. During the Second World War
he was implicated in a plot to kill
Hitler and was imprisoned by the Hedges Macdonald plays Herr
Nazis. Bonhoeffer never regained Muller, a German Gestapo officer.
his freedom, for just before the Al-lies
freed Germany he was exe-cuted.
The play depicts Bonhoeffer as
Erick Friedhoffer and tells the
story of his capture, imprisonment
and death.
The cast includes Jim Martins as
Erick Friedhoffer, Paul Bratt as his
father, Penny Williams as his
mother, Prudence Mellander as his
sister and Jim Ecklund as his
brother. Judge Von Kleist, Erick's
brother-in-law, will be played by
Joel Johnson. David Bales will take
the part of Ernst, Erick's friend.
The setting for the presentation
includes no scenery. The only props
to be used include three platforms,
a table and a few chairs. In keep-ing
with this simplicity, the char-acters
will all be dressed in Mack
clothing. The purpose of the pre-vailing
darkness is to impress the
viewer with the meaning of the
play.
A discussion will follow the per-formance
on Thursday evening for
those interested.
Tickets may be purchased for $1
from any of the cast members or
from Matthews.
Choir To Tour West This
The North l'ark College Choir will leave for its Spring Tour of the

Of special interest to North Park-ers
is The Magnificat, written by
Dr. Lee Burswold which will he a
part of this year's tour program.
Because of a limitation of space,
only 48 of the 59 members of the
choir will go on the tour. These in-clude:

Generous Benefactors Give Funds
For Scholarships; Reduce Debt
During the past few weeks, North Park College has been the re-cipient
of several substantial donations. A gift of $50,000 has been pre-sented
to the school by an anonymous donor. This amount is designated
for College scholarships.
The estate of Edward Anderson has been officially closed, and the
first distribution amounting to $75,000 has been made to North Park.
This tronoy will be 11,:ed for th,) reduction of non-self-liquidating capital
indebtedness.

train to Chicago on Tuesday, April
14, a week after school has started.
Forty-eight members of the 1963-61 North I'ark College Choir will begin their two-week tour of the West
Coma March 28. Noteable events include their performance at the Seattle World's Fair Civic Opera House and
the singing of our own Dr. Burswold's "The Magnificat."
Mr. Anderson, who was respon-sible
for much of the work at Cove-nant
Palms in Florida, left a large
portion of his estate to the College.
North l'ark has also been the
reciplent of a sum of $5,000 con-tributed
by the Pasadena Covenant
Church, for the establishment of
the Carl G. Westerdahl Memorial
Lectureship in Evangelism in the
Seminary. This fund is still grow-ing,
as additional contributions are
still being made.
In order to stimulate alumni in-terest
in giving, the Alumni Board
has put up a challenge fund of
$8,000. This gift was presented by
the board in hopes of doubling the
number of contributors. In 1962-
63, 800 alumni made contributions
to the school. The Alumni Board
has agreed to make available to the
school $10 for every contribution
beyond the 1962-63 total.
Pre-college Day Planned
For High School Students
North Park College has invited
approximately 200 Chicagoland
high school students and counselors
to a Pre-college Day, Feb. 22.
The program is designed to give
high school students a preview of
what college is. The events will in-clude
registration in the chapel
foyer at 12:45 p.m.; a general ses-skin
in which Dr. Karl Olsson and
Dr. C. Hobart Edgren will speak
followed by the introduction of col-lege
advisers and a visual presen-tation
of college activities at North
Park, a demonstration lecture on bi-ology
to be concluded with a quiz
by Dr. James Kennedy; a counsel-ing
session when the college ad-visers
will meet with the students to
discuss academic and vocational op-portunities
of a college education;
and at 4:30 p m. there will be a tour
of the campus with North Park stu-dent
personnel acting as hosts. Re-freshments
will be served in the
gym lounge.
Optional activities are supper at
Sohlberg Commons, 5:30 p.m., and
a basketball game with Lake For-est
in the gym at 6:30 p.m.

Senior History Majors
Direct Class Sessions
'File 48 students of Am.: Wall
history 202, taught by Professor
Zenos Hawkinson, find themselves
in a new teaching situation.
Hawkinson lectures the Post
Civil War American history class
three times per week. The other
two class periods take the form of
discussion groups led by five sen-iors
who are either majoring or
minoring in history. These seniors
are Barbara Anderson, Marjory
Donovan, David Ekberg, Kent
Palmquist and Richard Peterson.
Senior Marilyn Wench' is student
coordinator and is in charge of the
administrative tasks involved in
this project.
According to Wenell, the history
department feels that discussion
groups can provide valuable learn-ing
experiences which are not easily
provided in a classroom lecture
situation. Discussions may stimu-late
students to do more independ-ent
research and thinking rather
than merely to absorb the lectures
presented in the classroom.
When students must express
themselves and subject their com-ments
and understandings to ap-praisal
and criticism, their fellow
students can help them to clarify
their understandings and to recog-nize
inconsistencies in their reason-ing.
The interchange of ideas and
various points of view can help
them to gain new insights into re-lationships
and events in history.
It is also hoped that the student
leaders, who are expected to con-tribute
out of their general under-standing
rather than to be resource
people, will find this a valuable ex-perience
for teaching and for fur-ther
graduate study. Under this
program the professor should 1 e
able to spend his class time em-phasizing
the most important
points and will be relieved of the
constant pressure of presenting a
meaningful lecture each day.
A large American history class
is anticipated for the spring term,
and it is expected that this program
will be expanded in the future to
meet more efficiently the demands
placed upon the faculty.
The Division of Social Sciences
announces that applications for
the newly created psychology
major are being accepted at this
time by Mr. Robert Brewei.

planned to major in psychology
are incouraged to apply immedi-ately.

Editorial:
THE COLLEGE NEWS
Handle with Care
Students who have shown concern with the number of faculty mem-bers
which North l'ark has lost in the past few years may find consola-tion
in a comprehensive report recently released by the National Academy
of Sciences National Research Council. Whether you are alarmed with
the mass resignation of Lord, Lord and Keller, the disappearance of people
like Crane, Byrd and Broman, or the overt loss of Ph.D.'s like Carlson,
Sandeen and Schulze, keep calm; it has now been documented that it is
not just North Park but the entire Midwest which has shown itself unable
to retain its professional personnel.
This study, entitled "Doctorate Production in United States Uni-versities,
1920-1962," shows that while Midwestern colleges and uni-versities
lead all other regions in the production of scholars and sci-entists,
more than half of them go outside the area to teach. The
schools in the five states of the East, North-Central region — Ohio,
Michigan. Indiana, Illinois and %1 isconsin — awarded 10,172 doctoral
degrees from 1958 through 1961. 26.1 per cent of the national total,
but employed only 1.536 new Ph.D.s. only 15.3 per cent of the total
employed in the country.
In the period from 1920-1961, the top doctoral-producing institutions
were Columbia, 12,539; Wisconsin, 7,831; Harvard, 7,638; Chicago, 7,392;
Illinois, 6,307; California, 6,273; Cornell, 5,835; New York, 5,592; Michi-gan,
5,566; and Ohio State, 5,405 But in the two years of 1960-1961,
Midwestern universities gained a stronger standing than they had in the
long-term totals. The figures for those two years are: Columbia, 1,129;
Illinois, 823; Wisconsin, 792; Harvard, 712; California, 712; New York,
639; Michigan, 638; Ohio State, 533; Cornell, 487; and Minnesota, 477.
Also rated were the top 25 liberal arts colleges in the seven -
state region encompassing Minnesota. Iowa and the previously men-tioned
five. Generally, it is the schools with the low faculty-student
ratios, the schools with the largest number of students attending,
or the schools a hich are 100-125 years old a hich ranked the highest
according to the number of doctorates earned by their graduates from
1920 through 1961.
The figures are: Oberlin, 1,144; De Pauw, 575; Ohio Wesleyan, 417;
College of Wooster, 365; St. Olaf's, 301; Carleton, 294; Antioch, 260;
Wheaton, 246; Denison, 237; Grinnell, 230; Hope, 218; Cornell, 218;
Wabash (men only), 212; Lawrence, 297; Kalamazoo, 184; Beloit, 177;
Calvin, 169; Albion, 165; Klox, 162; Augustana, 157; Manchester, 156;
Earlham, 152; Coe, 150; North Central, 143; and Monmouth, 140.
While this study admitted that the preparation of students for
post-graduate work leading to the doctorate is not the only function
of a college nor the only test of its quality, it did state that the num-ber
of graduates who earn doctorates certainly is a measure of intel-lectual
distinction. If North Park is ever going to be a ranking in-stitution,
perhaps it ought to be more concerned with retaining all
good faculty members.
D.C.E.
Education and the Democracy
The vitality of an intonation of higher earning, as an institution. depends on the de-gree
to which the members of it •,,d of its conatituency /111-1, locked in argument — not
about parking or the extenvion of co-education to dormitory rooms but about fundamental
matters, such as the role. the purpose, the aspiration., the stand•rds and the effectiteneso
of the institution.
Robert Maynard Hutchins
Hutchins, former chancellor of the University of Chicago and now
president of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, made
this remark in a speech to the December meeeting of the Association of
American Colleges in Washington, D.C. It is hoped that this formidable
body of college presidents, deans and other high-ranking administrators
will take Hutchins' statement seriously; for the institution of higher
learning in America is the basis for the freedom and justice which are the
hallmarks of the American ideals. These ideals, this democracy, will
stand only as long as the intellectual improvement of its citizenry provides
for its continuance.
In many areas, however, American higher education is lagging se-verely.
Are colleges today concerned with their role in supporting the
democracy or are they becoming increasingly self-centered and ingrown,
concerned more with themselves than the spheres around them? Hutchins
maintains that "Because we have not been locked in vital argument, we
have made little progress in understanding what liberal education is."
True, and true because the college has been too concerned with
its own identity, its own security, its own future and not that of the in-tellectual
de% elopment of the student. Too little do the administrators
of today realize that in looking after the long-range ideals of this
intellectual development (a hich, as has been said, forms the basis
for the support and impros ement of the democracy the schools must
serve) the other problems will begin to by. solved almost auto-matically.
So many of the silly little problems which concern a college and its
constituency could be so easily forgotten; still the college would function
— but better, and still the funds would come in — but more, and still
the school would have its identity — but without a fanatical egotism that
characterizes so many institutions.
What Hutchins has said is so very close to the Biblical story of the
Lord coming to Solomon and saying, "Ask what I shall give you ?" and
Solomon asks for understanding and wisdom so that he may perform
his tasks better. The Eord then praises Solomon's unselfishness in asking
for this and tells that he will give him these hut that He will give "also
what you have not asked, both riches and honor . "
This, then, is a hat the American college must strive for first:
the understanding and wisdom to serve its people best, and the riches
and honor a ill follow . The democracy kept well intact and well-informed
by its school of higher learning will not let these schools
falter. It dare not. For if it does then it too will falter and, in mo
doing, demonstrate the inability of the entire system to survive. Our
schools and our democracy are only as sound as each other.

Art Bowman:
Simeon Stylites
"To be or not to be" may well be
phrased "to decide or not to de-cide."
Decision is involved in life
at every turn. Problems arise as
to what decision is most in accord
to what is truth. We look for a
definition of truth and run around
in the midst of rationalization. How
to act; should we say yes or no?
Should we look at the problem as
something which demands a "pure"
reaction on our part or should we
look at ourselves and see the hypo-crites
we really all are. Should we
act hypocritically even in the midst
of our knowledge? Can we deny to
the world a "good act" even though
we act for reasons other than for
the good itself?
Realizing that our motives are
mingled with doubt and indecision,
can we avoid making a decision?
We either affirm or deny; we don't
take a middle-of-the-road position.
Being confronted with a decision
we can't suspend judgment for the
time being while we wait for a
revelation. But because of this
very truth we have been used by
people to say yes or no to a ques-tion
which is unanswerable for the
person on the terms dictated to
him.
How should one phrase a ques-tion
which allows a person to say
yes or no within his capacity to
do so? Is the question, accept the
trinity and the virgin birth, com-mensurate
with accepting or reject-ing
Christ? We are told to do it
his way or not at all. Is it fair to
a person to pose a question which
is so structured that it allows him
no freedom of movement?
How do we present to a person
the truth of the Christian religion
without confining him to our doc-trine?
Is our doctrine the truth
of the Christian religion? Many
people stumble when they are ques-tioned
regarding their faith and are
told they really don't have one be-cause
they pass off a certain area
others hold as necessary to faith.
How do we define a Christian? Do
we scour his beliefs for an answer
or does it go a little deeper? Is
it true that "In My house there
are many mansions"?

An Open Letter to the Faculty
Herein I ant addressing myself solely to the faculty. This is a prac-tice
which I myself would consider highly irregular in a student news-paper,
but, in this case, justifiable.
Acting Dean of the College C. Hobart Edgren has consented to hold
a special faculty meeting Feb. 28 in order to review the Proposed North
Park College Student Association Constitution. This document is the
most significant contribution to student affairs produced by North Park's
student government in my four-year acquaintance with the student gov-ernment.
The Proposed Constitution represents the same philosophy
which has previously existed in student government — but now workable,
organized, hopefully effective and decidedly more all-encompassing in
student representation and participation.
This editor has spent dozens of hours in consideration of this labor
of hundreds of hours and though I ant one often at odds with student gov-ernment,
I am here in total concurrence. The far-sightedness of its
creators makes this Proposed Constitution a work of great flexibility and
potential endurance. I am firmly convinced that upon its adoption rests
the future of a meaningful student government at North Park, for it con-tains
the germ for a continuum and not for the characteristically un-progressive
collection of separate entities.
Though faculty often tend to be blase about student government, I
cannot stress too strongly the necessity of giving this Proposed Constitu-tion
the utmost in consideration which will undoubtedly lead, I feel, to its
swift passage. C. B. It
On and Off the Campus:
Notes from Above Ground
by Nancy Otis
'Thou art my brother bee."... you are a human, and we both are suns of ono Holy
Sri,we are v-qual and made of the same earth."
Kahlil Gamin. "Tears and Laughter"
The onslaught of Fast for Freedom Food Day has meant at North
Park the call for meditation, manifest ignorance and abusive ditties, as
well as the positive side of call for moral support and monetary contribu-tion.
Of course, all perceptive individuals realized that this event — co-sponsored
by the Student Association as a member of the National Stu-dent
Association and the infant Organization for Social Action — would
not go unnoticed by the hate mongers and simpleton "ignoramuses" on
our campus. As a supporter, one's
only hope was that the seed could
germinate at least into an anemic
specimen; but was this a ridiculous
hope, considering that the soil was
so undernourished and inhabited by
worms?
The dwindling of my feeble hopes
set in when I spent time on Monday
and Tuesday soliciting funds from
off-campus students and any others
who cared to contribute. It was
terribly obvious that some students
were deliberately avoiding being
pounced on; however, most of those
that did respond to my call of
"Would you like to contribute for
the Fast for Freedom Food Day?"
were seemingly at their most bes-tial
level. It couldn't have been that
all of those students had had a had
lunch.
One youth in particular was re-sponsible
for a substantial amount
of my illumination of the Bestial
Aspects of North Park Students.
The dialogue proceeded in this man-ner;
Youth — "It looks as though
Faculty Focus:
The Seeking Years
Strange — to see yourself as part of history — to see that you were
not unique as you thought at 20 — that your generation was not.
We, too, faced the question of involvement vs. detachment from the
unsatisfactory world before us. We could not affirm life as we saw it,
so we searched. We searched in the writers who were "not good for
us," and we found no home, "nu continuing city." We groaned
with Aldous Huxley that we were "born under one law, to another
bound," and we discovered that man had been groaning about that as
far back as we could read. With Lin Yutang we whipped up our courage
to be brave orphans in an unfeeling universe. We tried hoping for Nir-vana.
But we saw the dead-end
signs on all of these. And we said,
"If God isn't, He ought to be. How
else can we have meaning?" So we
read more.
It wasn't that we read the wrong
books, necessarily, but we read
without a larger context. The
Revelation to John read with a will-ingness
to hear God, if indeed He
spoke, gave that context to some of
us. Here was found a satisfactory
culmination to history in the tri-umph
of God. This context for
our thinking changed the quality
and direction of life and we searched
further in God's revelation.
Now another generation has be-come
the seekers in their own way,
and in a sense I can only watch; I
cannot interfere with the search.
But I can trust because I know that
God acts and that the persistent
seeker finds So I watch with un-derstanding,
love and hope.

there are some left-wing organiza-tions
connected with this thing."
Me — "Are you accusing the OSA
of being a Communist-inspired or-ganization?"
Youth — "No, uh
" Me — "Well, what people in
high positions do you call left-wing?"
Youth — "People like Cas-tro."
It was also front this youth that
I learned that the idea of "fast is
too Catholic of an idea." It is true
that the title of this campaign —
despite the alliteration — was un-fortunate;
no fasting was supported
by North Park, but it was to be a
matter of personal preference.
As well there was a certain in-dividual
— whom I know to be a
Jew — who, after I patiently and
sincerely described where the money
was going, vehemently exclaimed,
"I'm from Chicago, what does that
have to do with me?" When asked
from where I was a native, I re-plied
"Park Ridge." Reply: "Well,
that explains it." The implication
was that persons from I'ark Ridge
are rolling in coins and can afford
to be benevolent. It was surprising
to see that one who is himself a
part of a minority group and whose
ancestors were victimized by Hitler
could himself have no empathy for
another minority gioup.
It seems that there was wide-spread
paranoia on the campus,
especially in the resident halls.
Communist accusations flew on the
fourth floor of Burgh Hall, and
women residents were concerned
about the bows of the money dun-

NPC Represented at Springfield
Freedom of Residence Meetings
by Joel M. Johnson
The Mid-American Conference on Freedom of Residence (FOR) was
held last weekend in Springfield, Ill., and representing North Park and
the Organization for Social Action were Reverend F Burton Nelson, Mrs.
Marilyn Goldsmith, Mr. Vernon Wettersten, John Cedarleaf and the
duthor. The three-day conference was an exchange of views on "action
programs" by business, labor, re-ligious
and civil leaders on the
right to live. The organization is
not like other groups in that it has
already defined the problem, in-stead
of bewailing whatever the
problem could he, and is attempting
to activate programs of public edu-cation
and legislation to curb hate
in the problem of real estate vs.
civil rights. In particular, the or-ganization
is fighting a petition
that is being flaunted in the face
of Illinoisians that would destroy
House Bill 755, the freedom of resi-dence
law, which lost by only two
votes in the last session of the state
legislature. The petition is sup-ported
by real estate brokers who
would deny Negroes the right to
live wherever they could afford.
Some of the solutions offered at
the meetings were the power of
public education, a possible oppo-sition
petition, use of common in-terest
groups, voter workshops, etc.
But what impressed us the most
was that everything was quite or-derly
and peaceful. The group
showed a willingness to go the
next step in more thoroughly edu-cating
themselves, as well as the
public in the issues. There were
numerous speeches by representa-tives
of organized forces: Dr. Rich-ard
Wade of the University of Chi-cago;
the Honorable Theodore
Jones and David Gerard of the
President's Council on Fair Hous-ing;
Alfred Cowles, executive di-lector
of the Grand Rapids (Mich.)
Human Relations Commission'
Paul Zuber, a prominent New York
civil rights attorney. There were
letters of encouragement from
the President, as well as delegates
from the Illinois Council of
Churches, the NAACP and the Il-linois
House of Representatives.
One of the highlights of the con-ference
was the march to the statue
of I.incoln at the foot of Capitol
Drive and the Capitol. Though a
(aging wind was pelting snow on
Springfield, over 100 marched the
half mile from the Hotel Leland to
the statue to hear an address by
the Honorable Anthony Scariano of
the Illinois House, and songs by
the "FOR Messengers." It was dif-ficult
to hear the representative
speak because of the howling wind,
so I stared at the statue. Lincoln
seemed very different from the peo-ple
gathered there because he
wasn't huddling in an overcoat to
keep warm, and because never once
(lid he look at the speaker or at the
crowd. As the freezing snow col-lected
on his head and shoulders,
the beardless man seemed to be
peering down Capitol Drive, won-dering
why the line of marchers
had stopped so short in numbers
when it was marching in the name
of freedom.

All that one needs to know, in my
opinion, is that there are Negroes

need of food. In addition, in reply
to the question "How do I know that

Swimmers Win Rockford Relays,
But Disqualified on Technicality
The North Park swimmers had
won the Rockford Relays last Sat-urday
but lost the Relays because
of a technicality. The Vikings had
won the last relay of the meet by
half-a-pool length, but a North
Park swimmer accidentally slipped
off the edge into the pool while the
other teams were finishing the race.
This slip was grounds for the dis-qualification
of the North Park vic-tory
in the last relay and thus
the Vikings had to settle fr-o-e-ond
place in the meet.
There were four new rtils set.

`Mat-Men' Drop
Match with MIT
Tuesday night the North Park
wrestlers lost to the Milwaukee In-stitute
of Technology 32-2 in a re-turn
match in the North Park gym-nasium.
The Viking wrestlers had
to forfeit the first two weight
classes, and only Dave Davis, who
wrestled his opponent to a draw,
was able to score any points.
The decision in the 177-pound
class was called a draw because the
North Park timer did not record
the riding time of the Milwaukee
wrestler.
In an exhibition match, Ken
Peterson, an Academy senior,
pinned his opponent in two and one-half
minutes of the first period.
Final results of the meet:
123 — Villaume lost by pin in an ex-hibition
130— Peterson won by pin in an
exhibition
137— Marion lost by pin
147— Hanson lost by pin
157 — Palmer lost by pin
167— Lekberg lost by pin
177— Davis wrestled to a draw

Basketball Team Wins First CO Game
The basketball VikinQ, won their first conference game of the season
last Wednesday night as they defeated the North Central Cardinals by the
score of 70 to 67. The victory was obtained through a team effort, as four
of the five starters scored 11 points or more.
The first half saw an uphill struggle by the Vikings to reach the
half-time score of 30 to 30. North Park was hampered by the fact that
their only tall man, center Dick Powers, was in foul trouble through most
of the first half, and he fouled out
early in the second half.
In the second half the Vikings
maintained small leads that once or
twice stretched to six and eight
points, and they managed to stave
off a closing Cardinal rush.
Individually, Pete Pearson was
the high scorer for the Vikings with
20 points; Pete was also the leading
North Park rebounder. Greene fol-lowed
with 16 points, Swanson and
Hanson added 12 and 11 points re-spectively.
Willie Hoover of North
Central was the game's leading
scorer with 24 points.
