Pass-Fail System Undergoes Faculty Strains
As Student Committee Makes Recommendations
,
The Sph.','-organized Pass-Fail
committee began working on the
possibility of a pass-fail system be-ing
instituted here at NP early dur-ing
winter term. There basic con-clusions
was that a limited pass-fail
system should be established at
NP and that such a system would
further the goals of our sehool as
a liberal arts college.
They feel that grades are in-herently
inaccurate and inconsist-ent.
they depend on the teacher's
idea of the course, his course ob-jectives,
his methods of testing, his
criteria for judging, and on many
other factors. The result is that
the meaning of the same letter
grade so varies from course to
course as to make a grade point
average only semi-significant. It
is our opinion that allowing stu-dents
to take a small number of
courses pass-fail would not make
the Gl'A less meaningful than it
already is.
For this reason, the committee
made the following recommenda-tions
to the faculty committee.
(1) Each student be allowed to
take a total of five courses pass-fail,
one of which could be from
the fine arts general education re-quirements,
one of which could be
from the religious general educa-tion
requirements, and the re-mainder
of which shall be from
electives.
(2) No student should be al-lowed
to take a course for his ma-jor
or minor requirements pass-fail.
(3) Instructors should grade by
their normal procedures through-out
the course and translate the
final mark into pass or fail.
(4) A final mark of D or above
would be considered passing.
(5) Credit be given for a course
a student "passes" under pass-fail
but no grade be averaged into his
GPA.
(6) Students may take no more
than one course pass-fail in a given
term.
(7) First and second - term
freshmen not be allowed to take a
course pass-fail.

Nadalo & Tungseth -- Top Biologists
One hundred fifty mice in our
laboratories are used to determine
if chemicals could correct mental
retardation. An original research
project by Mr. Clarke Tungseth and
role to the role of Adolph Hitler's
role in the past war, Mi. Black
quoted the verdicts of several of
his younger students. Asked what
they would do to someone responsi-ble
for this, many replies came in
the form of "I'd hang him." But
one student answered, "I would
paint his face black and make him
live in America."
Interesting statistics of the life
of Negroes were covered by Mr.
Black including the fact that 65 per
cent of Negro children drop out of
school between the ages 14-17 while
only 25 per cent whites drop out at
that age. While 60 per cent of
Negro families are below the pov-erty
level less than 25 per cent
are on ADC.
It was explained that the prices
in the ghettos are higher than
anywhere else, yet the food is of
lesser quality. They are isolated
from the rest of society. Mr. Black
remarked on the possible causes:
the population tends to go out to

same experience awaits those
who have been chosen as "short-termers"
for this year.

The faculty curriculum committee
has recently reviewed the recom-mendations
of the student Pam-
Fail committee and has approved
of the idea of a Pass-Fail system
being instituted sometime during
the next academic school year. It
is not sure yet to what degree or
when it will be approved. The final
decision has been postponed until a
future time. As a result of this
postponement, students have signed
petitions addressed to Dean Edgren
asking that the new system be in-novated
in the fall of '68. The
committee of faculty members has
approved of Pass-Fail in its es-sence,
all actions say "go," now we
must wait for a final decision of
the faculty committee to be an-nounced.
Plans for Homecoming
Center on 'Success '68'
Plans are already being inude for
Homecoming next year, particu-larly
Oct. 11-13. The Top Ten
assembly will be held Friday, Oct.
4. The chosen theme for Home-coming
is SUCCESS '88 — with
special emphasis on NP and our
football team. Work is already be-ing
done on Ties'n' Heels and cam-pus
decorations, since the Oct. 12
date will give us a minimum
amount of time to prepare next
fall. Sherry Kern will direct the
student production of How To
Succeed in Business without Really
Trying. The production will in-clude
a ten-piece instrumental
combo under the direction of Mr.
Athnos. We also are planning to
restructure the Coronation events
splitting the program with an in-termission,
followed by a pep rally
on the grass area outside of Carl-son
Tower. The evening will be
climaxed with the bonfire.
D. Schermer Will Direct
Summer Play for Kids
The Hibbard School playground
(across from Burgh-Anderson) will
be the site of a special program
for children unable to attend regu-lar
day camps. Known as the Play-timers,
children from age 6 will
engage in organized games, arts,
crafts, music, drama, movies, swim-ming,
field trips and trips to base-ball
games.
The Playtimers program is
sponsored by North River Com-munity
Action, although North
Park Covenant Church will be re-sponsible
for operating it. Begin-ning
July 1, the program will run
for eight weeks.
Summer school students at North
Park and Northwestern are being
asked to assist. For North Park-ers
in the Education sequence, the
Playtimers program meets the
field experience requirements for
student teaching. A willingness to
be present either an afternoon or a
morning a week is the only request.
Interested people should contact
Doug Nystrom or leave their name
at the Campus Center desk.
Douglas Schermer, a North Park
graduate and former Peace Corps
Volunteer, will be director of the
program. Marla Parker and Jean
Lambert will be assistant directors.
The other side of our fence," said
Schermer, "marks the beginning of
the inner city. Damn good place
for a church to work!"

An Aura of Borelais
After working on the College News for two years, 1 have finally
found out why the newspaper attracts so many students and why so many
of those students never make it through four years of college. They all
die of a combination of exhaustion, heart failure, nervous anxiety, ulcers
or starvation.
But beyond this, there lies the pleasure of being the most WANTED
person on campus. (WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE — mostly dead!) But
why be a staff member — let alone editor? Because it's so much fun!!!
That's one reason, but more important is the fact that being editor is a
most rewarding occupation.
One soon comes to know some of the many tautologies connected
with the publishing of the College News:
Everyone wants their name in print at least once a week.
The proofreaders should catch every mistake, especially those in
spelling of Swedish names.
There is absolutely no reason why everything can't be reported about
everything every issue. Every organization, issue, concern, sport, etc.
deserves front-page coverage with a spectacular headline and gobs of
interest-catching words — like wonderful, spiritual, religious, free . . .
Photographers can't possibly have an excuse for missing your
event. (Since they are hailed as omni-present, anyway.) And they al-ways
get very creative shots of the social events of the campus — chapel,
elections, banquets, etc.
And, of course, the editor's opinion is always wrong.
Besides all this, or I should say in spite of all this, the college com-munity
loves the newspaper and its staff. Everyone, especially here at
NP, is so understanding. Our campus is a happy, congenial place to live,
(like Camelot) ; "there's simply not a more congenial spot for happily
everaftering than here . . . " Everyone loves everyone else. "Love thy
neighbor." And for those of you who read the News regularly — "Love
thy enemy." Persons that the News writes about are hardly able to
become upset when you expose their shortcomings; they know it's friendly
criticism rather than a personal dig.
If a staff member takes the time to patiently explain why Circle K
(formerly the Dude Ranch) didn't get as much coverage as baseball or
why Elsie Clyde Stergelfegerson's juice harp recital didn't receive the
same amount of space as Congressman Pucinski's public hearing —
if you explain, the concerned parties will understand the situation rather
than dismiss the paper as a biased figment of someone's imagination.
Of the thousand facts of information, when one mistake is printed —
the readers remember the 999 correct facts and excuse the one error.
If someone's name is misspelled or omitted (heaven forbid) from a
list, they don't despise you for life. (They convert the sentence to 99
years instead.)
Every staff member, even those enrolled in classes, knows everything
about everything. The newspaper has the answer to every question and
the solution to every problem. Faculty members dismiss the fact that you
said about in your last column when you happen to be
enrolled in one of their classes and grades are due.
And I'll never forget how everyone was so eager to help out this
year. If you look, you can even notice a worn path to the News office
door from all the eager students rushing in to find someway to be of
assistance. ( Yes, ALL THE PEOPLE—ALL FIVE OF THEM.)
Being aware of these basic self-eoident truths will naturally effect
the policies of next years' News.
Always lock the door behind you when you enter the office. Wear
sunglasses when you leave the office so no one other than your friends
will notice you. Friends? Carry your protection at all times -- EAR
PLUGS. And never leave the News office until 1:102 has checked the win-dows
for security — security of the staff members. They might be stolen.
(By the way — News fans, the windows of the office will be bullet-proofed
this afternoon. Contrary to public opinion, editors do not have
nine lives!)
During the past week, I have been the recipient of a number of notes
of congratulations for the appointment to the editorship of next year's
paper. Perhaps more appropriately these congratulations belong to Doug
for this past year as editor of a very fine paper. They also belong to
those News staff members graduating or otherwise leaving our congenial
campus, namely Gunny Swanson, Dave Lewis, Bud Phillips, Mary Burnett,
Moss Cartwright and Kathy Anderson. And to those who made valuable
contributions as seniors, Ed Cucci, Dan Johnson and Claudia Nelson, be-long
a note of thanks. And to those of us left behind for another year,
I express my deepest Sympathy??
Seriously, with a new year coming into focus, a good year for the
News is on its way also; (so is the Battle of Armageddon.) I hope you
as readers and contributors will be satisfied with your paper.
I'd like to thank those responsible for my appointment; I know this
coming year will be an interesting one — to say the least ...
Jeanne L. Penkava
P.S. I always did like horror movies.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Anyone interested in becoming affiliated with the College News for
the new year, please leave a note for "Hoven" (Dennis Prikkel) or my-self
somewhere (preferably not the wastebasket); try the office in cases
of emergency. The only qualification is that you have a good head on
your shoulders — one that is very well fastened to your neck — in case
of storm.

Student Rights Outlined
At Olsson Discussions
Student government should have
greater participation and responsi-bility
in the planning and adminis-tration
of college policies and pro-grams
according to editors of col-lege
and university newspapers.
In a nation-wide poll 70 per cent
of the editors thought that there
should be more involvement by stu-dents
in the running of their
schools.
Type of participation ranges
from 39 per cent who felt students
should be represented on a faculty
selection committee to 100 per cent
for representation on committees
concerned with disciplinary rules
for students.
The editors voted — 90 per cent
for participation on curriculum
committees for the development of
courses and course content; 87 per
cent on planning and building com-mittee
for facilities; 80 per cent on
faculty evaluation committee and
70 per cent on faculty senate or
academic councils.
As to the degree of participation,
60 per cent felt the students should
be full members of each committee
with equal voting strength per man
as faculty and administration mem-bers;
30 per cent stated that stu-dents
should be ex-officio members
of committees with full privileges
of discussion without voting rights
and 10 per cent said students
should be minority members with
half votes.
Many editors footnoted the ques-tionnaire
with the opinion commit-tees
should be composed of equal
representation from the adminis-tration,
faculty and student body.
What About North Park?
Recently there has been a move-nient
on this campus to investigate
the issue of student rights. Stu-dents
at other universities have
claimed that they are nothing more
than a series of punches on an IBM
card; that they are the least signifi-cant
part of today's highly struc-tured
institutions of higher learn-ing.
Bridging the gap between
teacher and student seems impossi-ble.
So the student resorts to
what he thinks is the only way to
express himself and be sure that he
will be heard — the way of protest
and revolt. President Karl Olsson,
at a meeting with students about
this subject, pointed out that this
way should be a very last resort.
This is not the only way a student
can be heard on this campus. He
said that taking over an adminis-tration
building is not really exer-cising
the rights of the student to
their full advantage; it is only mak-ing
a greater separation between
student and faculty or adnfinistra-tion.
Olsson showed concern for
student rights but also concern
that students be individual, think-ing
persons who can handle their
problems and complaints with a
certain amount of maturity.
ebitorial:
Who Says I Hate You?
Throughout the past year a corrosive attitude has existed within the
"friendly" confines of the Student Association that has continually held
that body back from securing the overall campus respect and authority,
something that it requires and constantly implores to seek. Unfortunately,
this ailment has found room to spread and develop itself elsewhere on the
campus. It is now present in inter-student relations as well as in other
organizations and functions. What is this problem of which I am speak-ing?
In a word it is sincerity, or rather the lack of sincerity as visualized
in petty personality conflicts.
During the recent fall and winter terms the SA was the weekly
scene of "personality struggles" that seemed endless in their attacks upon
the vying forces at hand. Moreover, a grave injustice was inflicted upon
two particular individuals, who met with opposition nearly every time
that they sought to initiate some form of legislation, or even to simply
comment or reflect in a discussion of issues. It progressed so far as to
envelop much of the proceedings into mere filibusters of the Huey Long
tradition. At times, it seemed as if the sole intent of the majority of the
participants was merely to oppose and uphold the workings of the Senate's
president and vice-president. By now, of course, there is no doubt that
I am here referring to the "treatment" of Ed Cocci and Sheri Kern.
Factionalism may reign supreme, but its popularity does not war-rant
any merit or reason for its further use. The campaigning and all
that accompanies any election must cease, once and for all, when the elec-tion
is computed and the results have been made known and valid. Both
parties must then join hands and work together to insure cooperation and
meaning for the organization. If this organization and accomplishment
are the real objectives of SA, then unity is necessary.
A new president and senate have been elected and have assumed of-fice.
There seems to be a presence of harmony and cooperation which
finds its origin in the person of the president. But, if certain "in" mem-bers
of the present Senate were to be faced with the same element of re-sistance
that existed last year, I wonder . . . just what they would do or
how they would feel. This is no relegation or reference to Tim Schermer.
Personality differences will unfortunately always exist, but we must
make every effort to limit the division and differences that it most always
produces. If the issues at hand are objectionable, then react accordingly,
but do not simply reject the issue on the basis of who represents it. You
can read the Tribune, but you do not have to follow its policies to the hilt.
I say this now, not to revive a dead issue, but merely to prevent it
from being swept away now that the injustice has been completed. It
was a raw deal! Doug Palm
Editors Pick Candidates
Results of another nation-wide
poll conducted during the week of
May 12 by the ACP show that 73
per cent of the editors expect
Nixon to be the Republican choice
over Governor Rockefeller, and 50
per cent expect Humphrey to win
out in a four-way race for the
Democratic nomination.
Senator Kennedy trailed the vice-president
with a 37 per cent chance
of winning the nomination, followed
by Senator McCarthy with 9 per
cent and President Johnson with
3% per cent.
While McCarthy was a strong
front-runner as the editors' per-sonal
choice, they named Kennedy
as the Democrat's best candidate
with Rockefeller given the best
chance for the Republicans. Ken-nedy
was picked by 74 per cent in
a mythical race against Nixon and
by 60 per cent in a contest with
Rockefeller.
Rockefeller would reverse posi-tions
in a race with Humphrey as
56 per cent named him the winner
and 44 per cent favored the vice-president.
In a race between the
two considered the strongest by
the editors, 60 per cent gave the
nod to Kennedy with 40 per cent
favoring Rockefeller. The editors
voted as follows:
I. I believe the following man
will be nominated by the Republi-cans
for President:
Richard M. Nixon — 73%
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller — 27%
2. I believe the following man
will be nominated by the Demo-crats
for President:
Vice-President Humphrey — 50C;
Senator Robert Kennedy — 37';
Senator Eugene McCarthy — 9'
President Johnson — 3% %
3. If the following men are can-didates,
I believe the winner will
be:
Nixon 46 Humphrey 54
Nixon 26 Kennedy 74
Nixon 55% McCarthy 44' 2
Rockefeller 66 Humphrey 44
Rockefeller 40 Kennedy 60
Rockefeller 55 McCarthy 46
4. My choice for President is:
McCarthy 85 Kennedy 19
Rockefeller 12% Nixon 8
Humphrey 6 M'r Lindsay 3
Gov. Reagan 3 Pr. Johnson Ph
Sen. Dirks'n 1% Undecided 1012
Political Spectrum: The Politics of Jo
The uninformed and simple thinkers of thi, na-tion
are the champions of one and two-step panaceas
for our nation's problems. In the midst of so much
strife and insecurity, brought by the speed of sweep-ing
change, there will always be at least one candi-date
who runs on a platform of panaceas and hap-piness
and a slogan of "you-never-had-it-so-good."
Politics of joy cater to the apathetic and complacent,
who spend most of their time and money on finding
ways to escape the war-torn elements of reality.
Granted, as the ranks of the apathetic and com-placent
grow in number, the temptation to close one's
eyes and step forward in their behalf, becomes pro-portionately
greater. But not even political expe-diency,
which justifies so much, can ever provide an
excuse for the politics of joy. Irresponsible decisions,
in times of national division and international violence,
can only lead to bloodshed. To be sure, responsible
decisions can never come out of the myth that these
are "wonderful times" or the suggestion that everyone
simply relax and "be happy." The politics of joy and
the luxury of bliss are reserved for the ignorant alone.
On the other hand, pessimism and the politics of
despair are no answer either. We are indeed grateful
for blessings received, and for the abundance and tol-erance
which have enabled us to sustain our gains.
However, when our thanks becomes a substitute for
awareness and decision, then our gratitude is no longe,
a virtue, but a burden. The apathetic and complacent
are too willing to deal in gratitudes, prefering to ignor,
the challenges of reality. After witnessing so mud
struggle and conflict in our own time, I think this gen-eration
is weary of those politicians who wish to cal
talize on human weakness and speak of so much ji
The future success of government policies will
determined by men of ideas and vision, and most .
all, by the decisiveness of our leaders in facing t
serious and grave crises of our time. This is a ti!!!
for living, but there is no time for complacent attiturb•
or mediocre solutions to massive problems. There it- .
room for apathy in the House, or the Senate, and I/
of all, in the character of the President. Not the IF
tics of joy, nor the politics of despair; but the poll:, -
of awareness and imagination. Not only at the fed. ;
level of government, nor only at the state, county .:
local levels; but even at North Park's own level
student government.
I'm putting my chips on men of decision, in
out of college, who are unfettered by the distortion
happiness, apathy, pessimism and complacency.

waa a freshman, located at the cor-ner
of Ontario and Rush along Chi-cago's
"gold coast." I didn't catch
tie banquet as a freshman, but ap-p.,
rently a lot of my fellow class-mates
did, because there was a con-picuous
lack of seniors at the ban-juet.
There was also a conspicuous
Lick of students in general at the
anquet, approximately 125 attend-ing,
as compared to around 300 for
he Ivanhoe bash of last year. This
lack of attendance has some ration-alization
though beca a. the room
we were in would only hold about
150.
What does one do at a banquet
at the Kungsholm. Well, in a word,
he eats and eats and eats. In fact
we ate for four hours starting with
the fish, then the salads, then the
main course, then the dessert (at
the Kungsholm this means a heap-ing
plate for each course and sec-onds,
thirds and fourths if desired).
In true smorgasbord style everyone
was carried from the room on
stretchers. The most popular dish
on the fish table was the caviar,
which seemed to go fast as a nov-elty
item. The tastiest item on the
fish table was the meatballs. On
to the salad table where I came
close to being poisoned by some
blue cheese, set as a clever trap for
us promiscuous samplers. The
main course included beef stroga-noff
and Southern fried chicken
that wasn't anything special.
Any shortcoming of the evening
was made up by the dessert, Dan-ish
rum pudding and baby if they
could put that stuff in a needle it
would be good enough to inject.
The evening was topped off by
a private showing in the puppet
theater of My Fair Lady and a
short operetta. The puppets are
clever but after the novelty has

worn off they rapidly loose their
excitement. All I can say is that
the acting was a little stilted but
what can you expect from puppets.
The setting of the Kungsholm is
sumptuous, by far the best-ap-pointed
restaurant I have seen in
Chicago. The Kungsholm was con-verted
from the McCormick man-sion,
and there isn't a tacky item
in the place. The banquet turned
into a hodge podge of semiformal,
formal attire due to the fact that
it was advertised as something less
than a formal. This misinforma-tion
is my main criticism of the
banquet. When I was in high
school we were informed that for-mal
and semiformal wear was an
important part of the college man's
wardrobe, so I have a white dinner
jacket ad a black tuxedo hanging in
my closet that I have worn twice
to NPC affairs (one was the SA
convention in '67, as a joke). What
North Park needs is a good $25 for-mal.
What North Park needs is
more organized social life in gen-eral.
My evaluation of the banquet
and the Kungsholm are similar.
It's fun, it's novel, but that's the
problem. Once you have seen the
Kungsholm, there isn't much point
in seeing it again (that might ex-plain
why there were so few sen-iors).
It was a nice evening, but
it can't compare to the facilities at
the Ivanhoe.
Good-bye NPC. I'll miss you
even if your social life does stink.

walked up and announced I was go-ing

On the way home he pro-ceeded
to tell me exactly how he
attained this highest of all glories.
Another North Parker, Tim R. An-derson,
was sitting in the left field
bleachers, on opening day in 1966,
when Yash Kawane — the club-house
manager — tapped him on
the shoulder and asked him if he
would like to play bat boy for the
Cull. After he picked up his
pants Yash introduced him to some
of the players, and then standing
in the door was the unmistakable
form of Leo the Lip. Actually his
form wasn't so unmistakable; it
was what he said. "Who the •#4
is *# l" After
this introduction to Leo, calmer
than ever he donned the Cub uni-form
and stepped out onto the field
starting a glorious tradition that
was to be carried on through the
ages (during the week only of
course) by North Park's own celeb-rities
— The Bat Boys.

Highlight Fall Season
Last week we looked at the
"achievements" of this year's North
Park athletic teams. It's time to
look forward into the future.
The football season will soon be
upon us. Coach Norm Rathje lost
only four regulars from last year's
squad. The potential is there. Back
again will be All-Conference star
Chuck Burgoon and 20th district
quarterback of the NAIA Bruce
Swanson. These two lead a team
that has lots of talent. The Vi-kings
open up against St. Joseph,
at Rensselaer, Ind. See you there!
Cross-country remains a big
question mark as nobody knows
who is going to coach the squad.
Personnel wise, returnees are Tim
Anderson, Jim Hall, Tim Fretheim
and Art Koegel form a strong nu-cleus.
I hope I've whetted your sports
appetite for next fall. The excite-ment
will be there.

Chapel into a Gym?
Well, what about it? What possibly could the above do to help o.
the college athletic program? In short — plenty! Many of you probabe
do not know where the real chapel is. Well, in case you are wonderin)
it's next to the gym, above the swimming pool. This has NEVER bee,
used for an .41.L-college chapel — ever.
Once upon a time, this building was the gym until the now present
gym was built. Then, it was remodeled into a chapel-lecture hall. Th.
building was used for all the large lecture classes, student debates, con-ventions,
which, now, are carried on by other buildings. So, now, I ask
what purpose does the chapel serve? Well, it is used by the academy
four days a week for -10 minutes as their chapel. The only other occa-sion
it is used for is organ practicing, and then two days a term for senior
exams.
The relocation of these activities I believe, could be done with little
trouble. The Academy could hold their chapel services in the Lecture
Hall four days a week between 9-10, when the room is empty. The organ
could then be moved to Hanson Hall and used there, or sold, with the
money being put away for a new organ of a better quality in the new
chapel when it becomes a reality. This leaves the seniors with nowhere
to take their G.R.E. exams. Well that's really no problem as they could
just forget them entirely! However, if the administration still wants to
administer the tests they could do so in the Lecture Hall in comfortable
chairs!
Now there is only an empty building. Next, I would now propose to
remodel the chapel and make it back into a gymnasium as it was first
intended. It could be used for a number of activities and thus relieve the
college gym of some of its over-crowded activities schedule. The gym
then would be available to the physical education department both for
activity classes as sell as theory classes. It could serve as a practice
gym for the Academy basketball teams, and thus give the college basket
ball team the practice time it requires. This would also help the Academy.
by giving it more time to run their program. The Lettermen's Club could
use this gym for part of their growing Saturday morning basketball
program; the cheerleaders and pom-pom girls could use this, and the
could be relieved of their present practice space — the halls. There are.
countless activities this could be used for from an indoor tennis court
to square dances and to other social events.
It should be realized that this should not be in place of a new fled
house, but the remodeling of the chapel will improve the present facilitie•
and give another place to hold countless activities that cannot presently
be held in the gym, because of the tight time scheduling. The gym as it
stands now is hardly used for the purpose it was set up to meet.
