College Choir Sings at Orchestra Hall
There are few college choirs
which when they sing, breathe out
an intensely rich experience of
beauty, Christ, guts and reality.
Such an experience comes not
from mere mastering of notes and
Swedish pronunciation, nor from
mechanically meeting three times a
week in Hanson Hall.
What does emerge from those
sessions is something from living
with music, from taking 50 young
people, a director and a composi-tion
and letting them rehearse and
rehearse until they're ashen and
hoarse, tear it apart to perfect
four parts with a fifth, instru-mental
part, perhaps hate it a lit-tle,
and then suddenly emerge with
something whole, concrete and
beautiful.
Although this kind of real dis-covering
begins in the choir, we
outsiders get a few chances to
extend and participate in the dis-covering.
One of such chances is
next Friday night, May 16 at 8:15
in Orchestra Hall, where the choir
will present its annual spring con-cert.
Yet, if there is anything
traditional about having one every
year, there is nothing (except four
songs from the Swedish heritage
and Tryggare) traditional about
this concert.

Career Openings Offered in Illinois
SPRINGFIELD, ILL., May 5 —
Employment opportunities in Illi-nois
government will be discussed
at a career conference, Saturday,
May 10, at the University of Illi-nois
Chicago Circle Campus.
The conference, arranged by the
Illinois Department of Personnel,
I s for all college students in the
Chicago area'. Designed to inter-est
university-trained men and
Women in professional careers in
Illinois government, the conference
Will include representatives of 20
state agencies who will answer
questions and interview prospective
employees.
Recruitment of college-trained
Personnel for state employment is
One of the major goals of the ad-
Ministration of Governor Richard
13. Ogilvie.
In pointing out the state's need
for youthful workers with profes-sional
training and ability, the
governor said: "Employees must
help us find better ways to fill
the needs of our citizens — the
indigent, the students, the mentally
Ill and the average taxpayer. They
Must have the perception to recog-nize
new needs and the courage
to employ new means to realize
goals."
"We are looking to our colleges
and universities for competent and
imaginative state employees," he
added.
State representatives at the con-ference
will give particular empha-sis
to a new administrative trainee
program developed especially for
college graduates who are not sure
what field to enter. Under this
program, graduates work at vari-ous
tasks within an-agency for six
months or a year. During this
time a trainee learns the various
operations of government. The
knowledge gained through this on-the-
job experience also gives him
the opportunity to select a posi-tion
which he likes and in which
he wishes to make a career:
At the conclusion of his intern-ship,
the trainee takes the profes-sional
level examination for the
position he has selected. If he
passes, he enters state government
at a pay level one step higher than
those who have not taken part in
the trainee program. In most

cases, trainees will earn $625 a
month while enrolled in the pro-gram.
Students who feel they know the
field that best suits their abilities
and training may elect to take one
or more of the tests for 31 profes-sional
level positions that exist in
state government. These examina-tions,
commonly referred to as
Illinois Professional Career Entry
Examinations by the Illinois De-partment
of Personnel, are offered
on a continuous basis by the Per-sonnel
Department.
The all-day conference with its
"Illinois Is Tomorrow" theme will
begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at
3 p.m. Interested students can
meet with state representatives in
the Student Center on the U. of I.
Chicago Circle Campus anytime
during those hours.
Spring Banquet Planned
Dress Is Semiformal
The May banquet, being planned
for May 24, will be held at the
Play House Theatre and will fea-ture
a performance of the musical,
"Funny Girl."

committee headed by Tim Fretheim
and Sue Lindquist will include ap-petizers
at 6:45 in the President's
Room in the Campus Center.
Couples must furnish their own

This work "Rejoice in the

Benjamin Britten is a can-tata

Christ. A third innovation is that

mentioned organ) in place
of a full-scale orchestra. The
brass ensemble will particularly
distinguish the three Anton Bruck-ner
"Graduates for the Church
Year" which reveal an incredibly
vital faith. In addition the choir
will sing two spirituals, "Some-times
I Feel Like a Morning Dove"
and "I Got a Key" (soloist, Jim
Theorell), arranged by Robert
Shaw; The Psalm 51 "Motet" of
Johannes Brahms; four hymns of
the Swedish tradition, two of
which Karl Olsson has translated;
and the Easter Cantata of Daniel
Pinkham with which the program
All in all such a program re-flects
a remarkable combination of
varying musical experience from
the Romantic Period, perhaps some-what
lighter than those with "Jesu,
Priceless Treasure" and "King
David" of previous years. Yet
even more than reflecting a unique
synthesis the works reflect a ver-satile
group whose enthusiastic
involvement lets them change
moods, from a bubbling giddiness
to a deep sensitivity as the works
require, in quite short time. It is
also a group whose root-level ca-pacity
determines the hardness of
music to be mastered, in this case,
works such as the Britten of in-tense
difficulty. Finally, unlike in
many other college groups, there
exists a dynamically real rapport
between the choir, the director, the
music and audience.
If you would like to be a part
of this, tickets for the concert,
turnabout Friday, are available
through choir members and the
Office of Development through May
13, and at the Orchestra Hall Box

Means May Not Justify Ends
So why North Park?
"Good question!" some would remark. But it is perhaps a good
question for all of us to answer. "Why North Park," in the sense of the
perception one has of their purpose here. Are we here as individuals ful-filling
a prerequisite to a job, gaining the knowledge and experience for a
career, learning the role we have or will have in the social and political
spectrum of our lives or to learn about each other and ourselves by ex-tending
our education past high school and postponing the "real" world
until after college?
This is basic to the role we play as individuals here for any of these
reasons are justifiable.
If we come to fulfill trumped-up prerequisites to a job with just a
diploma, then all this student involvement really serves little or no pur-pose.
It is just a pastime and bears no real significance to anything.
Student government is perhaps a game that we play to kill time and to
prevent boredom. So why run for an office? Why the SR&F? Why the
newspaper? Why all this controversy within the student body?
If we come to gain usable knowledge for a designated and specified
career or preparation for further professional training or for a job that
will be very selective in choosing among applicants, then we initiate com-petition
on this campus for the advantageous positions which will prove
decisive in career plans. Then if we plan student government it is
more realistically a responsibility that a few students master.
Whether the student wins or loses is not the point in question, it is a
personal means to an end. The competition only comes in the election
to the office or the struggle to an appointment. Then the SR&F Com-mittee
is a joke; it only serves as any committee with an added "Cul-turally
packed" label. The college as a student union means nothing.
The academic structure left to the discretion of the authorities of the
school provides all the necessary ingredients to a college career; every-thing
else is a bonus, and one should collect as many bonuses as he can.
It's as good as money in the bank. Serve on ten committees, be president
of one's class three years which really means nothing as far as the
student body is concerned; collect titles, compete with anyone for the
grade, the post, the title. Rule out all social, religious or political ties
that detract from the main purpose. Everything for the end is justified.
If you come to NPC to learn more about the scoial and political
world and to accustom and prepare yourself for it, you may have found
the wrong place. The social traditions here are rather unique and do
not typify the "real" world. North Park does not reflect the total world
view either socially or politically. So SDS, CYR's, YAF and other or-ganizations
become the only outlet for your purpose in a college education.
If we are here to learn about each other and ourselves, NPC sure
is an expensive way of doing it. There are better and cheaper means
elsewhere. Utilize them first.
It all comes to one question, whether we as students ought to react
and behave as though we were out in the "real" world or not. Ought
we to remain competitive in all aspects of our education here — (any
means to the end) or are we to consider this education as something
we have to share with the rest of the academic and student comffiunity
— the means not the ends gaining priority.
Do we stab our "friend" in the back when our interests no longer
remain compatible or do we forsake it all in the honor of education?

Vox Populi
•
Dear Sir:
It seems to me about time that
someone wrote this open letter to
the women of the United States:
The women of this country
should speak out now! If we stand
up now to be counted, there is still
time to save some of our sons; if
we remain silent, we can fear for
our grandsons.
Speak out to end the war in
Vietnam! Speak out against an
endless chain of "commitments" de-pleting
our greatest national re-source:
the young men of this
land. Raise a major voice against
the ABM program; these billions
of dollars can better be used for
our hungry, our needy, our aging,
our youth, to bring HOPE back
into their lives. What will we do
with these powerful weapons if
America is torn apart in the civil
strife now boiling up everywhere
— turn them on our own people?
Our sons and daughters, our
grandsons and granddaughters,
must be given a FUTURE, not
just an unending prospect of fight-ing
other people's endless wars;
Vietnam now, perhaps Israel soon,
who knows when in Japan, in Ger-many,
in China? Our men's lives
are being committed easily and
ruthlessly by our politicians, but
politicians will not do the dying
nor leave a leg or arm, or their
mind, on some battlefield. If the
draft age were set at 55 years
and up, all wars would be ended
yesterday. The real gap between
young and old equals the width of
33,000 graves of young men dead
for Vietnam, and this gap widens
to hold 300 more of our men each
week.
Women are a mighty influence in
any country; let us women of the
United States make a beginning
of peace in this world! We who
worry over the care for our little
ones, who dread the curse of drugS
that may snuff out the brilliance
of our young men and women, let
us stop and ask ourselves: what
are we preserving our little ones,
and grown ones for — so they
may be physically fit for slaughter?
So they will be soundly (?) edu-cated
but thoroughly indoctrinated
to national apathy, gross lack of
pity for fellow humans, sickly,
poor, starving, homeless? Speak
out of the benefits to ALL people,
if the funds and technological in-telligence
now spent on wars could
be used for peace and the common
good!
Remember America's image be-fore
the world; look in your own
mirror at YOUR image — mother/
sweetheart, wife, grandmother, siS-ter
— we can start our own move
for peace: we are MILLIONS!

Jim Fernborg:
A New
Through the last three decades of
extensive use, the Western has fur-rowed
itself into quite a steep pit.
In a sense, it has ruined itself as
a major contender in the race for
artistry and excellence in the new
genre of motion pictures. Hack-neyed
plots, wearisome stereotypes
and cheap Hollywood glamor have
made the majority of American
Westerns similar and uninteresting.
Classic Westerns have been rare
indeed. In this field of the Motion
Picture Arts, a classic is usually
determined by the effect it has on
its successors. The 1939 produc-tion
of "Stagecoach" was a boon
to the industry, for it added the
much needed dimension of serious
dramatics to the Western saga.
John Ford has been a continual pi-oneer
in this aspect of the por-trayal
of the American West, with
his authentic character's and credi-ble
dialogue.
In the early '50s a totally new
hero had emerged. Alan Ladd's
portrayal of "Shane" set the stand-ards
for the new breed of Western
man. Dramatics were playing
more of a prominent role in the
Westerns of the day, but this was
sadly to be short-lived. Then, work-ing
within the dramatic trend,
Fred Zimmerman created one of
Hollywood's true classics. His
1952 production of "High Noon"
is said to be the finest Western
ever made. Gary Cooper won an
oscar for his effort, as the Western
was miraculously salvaged from
the scrap heap which was to reach
television several years later.
Probably the most popular of the
trend setters was the 1960 produc-tion
of "The Magnificent Seven,"
which once again introduced a new
type of hero.
The last few years have been
Breed of Western?
ones of gloom for the makers of
Western motion pictures. A few
years ago, a new attempt was made
• toward authenticity with the Ital-ian,
"Man With No Name" films,
which stared Clint Eastwood — the
silent brazen type possessing little
or no dramatic talent. These films
degenerated into slaughter-feats
and proved to be tasteless, as well
as pointless.
It is quite evident that Robert
Mulligan has made a serious at-tempt
at achieving classic status
in his recent film, "The Stalking
Moon." Mulligan's movie is well
photographed, suspenseful, believa-bly
authentic, well acted and dy-namic
enough to possibly start a
trend.
All good Westerns have one
thing in common; a simple plot.
Writer Alvin Sargent's tale, based
on the novel by Theodore Olson,
concerns a cavalryman retiring af-ter
15 years of gallant duty and
befriending a white squaw and her
half-breed son. Sam Varner
(Gregory Peck) finds himself being
persuaded by a frantic captive of
ten years (Eva Marie Saint), to
give her and her small boy safe
passage out of the territory. Var-ner
had purchased a farm in New
Mexico through the mail. Taking
a liking to the woman and her boy,
he invites .,them to live with him.
To his astonishment, Varner dis-covers
that the boy's father is the
notorious Indian who is pursuing
them and butchering men, women,
horses and dogs in his path. Once
settled in his New Mexico ranch,
the talking moon, Salaje, begins
eliminating the hired hands. Var-ner
now stands alone, as good
faces evil over a member of the
female species; an old plot, but still
interesting.
One of the film's strongest points
was the suspense. The film was
truly different, for the viewer con-tinually
feels the presence of the
dreaded Apache, but never sees
him. The excellent photography
contributed quite heavily to this
ominous feeling. The film did not
lack authenticity. Gregory Peck
is indeed convincing, giving a si-lent,
rustic flair to his character.
Eva Marie Saint is especially be-lievable,
looking like one who has
been living on the prairie too long.
She was close-mouthed and timor-ous,
portraying the full effect of
ten years of brutal captivity.
Most Westerns of the past have
taken an erroneous view of the
basic conflict between the Indian
and the white man. In a good
number of these films the Indian is
seen as a noble Roman finding a
common ground of understanding
with his white brother. Very sel-dom
have Westerns emphasized the
fact that the white man and the
Indian were two opposing cultures,
holding different values and seek-ing
different ends. The two were
irreconcilable, and were destined to
clash; the stronger would win and
the weaker would fall. This is
not to say that either side was
right or wrong, it simply means
that all men do not hold the same
values. In "The Stalking Moon"
there was no common ground be-tween
red and white. It was sym-bolic
of the true conflict of the
American West.

To Repress Development...
Repress: to prevent the natural or normal expression, activity or de-velopment.
Many students have been saying that some of the problems that
have disturbed North Park for so many years are beginning to fade
from the picture. They are being replaced with more important concerns
in areas like the black man and his role at North Park, to charter or not
to charter SDS, Symposium upgrading, improvement of classes, serving
the community.
There is one catch however; in all of these areas, concerned leaders
and individuals cannot comprehend the lack of student interest and con-cern.
There is a genuine lack of active students to take part in each of
these areas.
Two weeks ago, SDS accused the faculty of spoon-feeding students
instead of intellectually stimulating and challenging them. SDS was
wrong in going to the faculty. The people they should have gone to
were the students of NPC. The NPC students don't care to be chal-lenged
or stimulated, not in the classroom or in any of the aforementioned
new concerns on campus. I would like to subscribe a cause for SDS as
one in which they would picket the student body for being passive and
anarchist, for truly this is where the fault lies.
Once one has established the problems it is proper to look back
and figure out what causes them. When I think back to my senior high
school class and recall those students who had the qualities of imagina-tion,
intellectual curiosity, concern and a questioning mind coupled with a
"do something" attitude, I can say that not one of those students would
even give NPC a tumble. The reason? Their thinking went something
like this: What kind of challenging-stimulating atmosphere can a school
like NPC have when they are still working under childish and ridiculous
bonds. Certainly thinking for yourself cannot be encouraged when basic
freedoms are denied the students. What kind of babysitter school is it
that does not permit you to smoke or dance or to lock girls in your room
at ridiculous hours? You've got to be kidding. The promising students
of high school laughed in NPC's face and turned elsewhere where they
could find an atmosphere of academic and personal freedom.
This repressive atmosphere, this ridiculous and absurd atmosphere
that surrounds all of NPC, not only discourages the kind of student who
would take an interest in the new areas that are here on our campus, but
this atmosphere acts as a repressant on those who come and carry that
spark of stimulation and challenge.
One would be a fool to try and set up a free election in Russia with
the hope of replacing the present government, and we would only be kid-ding
ourselves if we think we can do some of the important things that
need to be done in connection with this campus until we rid ourselves
of the trivia, the ridiculous rules that burden this campus. Concepts such
as those currently under consideration can only be sought after in an
atmosphere of Academic and Personal freedom. This freedom is but a
joke at NPC. People have had their sparks put out, their drive dampened
and others have just up and left.
Nothing of any consequence is ever going to come of this school un-til
the students, and it must be the students, demand their freedoms that
were granted back in 1776.

Baseball Team Loses Four Games Last Week;
Elmhurst, Wesleyan Are Latest Tormentors
The North Park College base-ball
team continued to be unable to
find the right key to winning a ball
game. Their first torturer was
Elmhurst College. The Blue Jays
combined timely hits and some poor
Viking baserunning into a 9 to 4
victory in the opener. As he has
done all season George Esplin took
the opening loss for North Park.
The big star for Elmhurst has to
be centerfielder Chuck Cavrata who
was four for four in the first
game with six RBI's. One of his
hits was a tremendous home run
which eluded the grasp of the
Park rightfielder and rolled for-ever
in Elmhurst's "no fence" out-field.
Elmhurst collected seven
hits off Esplin while the Park bat-ters
managed eight. Esplin ended
a long-hitting slump with two hits
and Rich Infusino contributed two
hits.
The night cap proved to be a
comedy of terrors. This reporter
has made statements in the past
about officiating, but this was
really bad. The worst call of
the game was against Elmhurst.
But unquestionably the Park suf-fered
the worst when starting sec-ond
baseman Rich Infusino was
ejected from the game in the first
inning. Rich was just enlighten-ing
everyone on the mental abili-ties
of the umpire and to say the
least the ump was a little harsh.
I'm glad to say that after that
incident the Park players responded
with one of their best efforts of
the season. Dan Tepke led the
Park batters with three hits, while
Art Lartz, Esplin and Mark Hunt
picked up two apiece. North Park
had a golden opportunity of win-ning
the game in the eighth inn-ing
when with one out the bases
were loaded. But Bill Graham
failed to hit the ball as he struck
out and Art Lartz flied to right.
Elmhurst won the game in their
half of the ninth on two walks and
a single to left.
Freshman Karl Dahlstrom, shown above, displays some of his form in
a recent meet.
Softball Hits Front Campus
Recently this writer saw some
ball playing that proved teams do
not have to be good if they are
enthusiastic. Zeal abounded on
both teams if talent did not.
In what might have been one
of the pickiest of pick-up games,
the girls from Ohison House chal-lenged
the Sohlberg Hall boys to
a game of softball on the front
campus. Both teams ended up be-ing
coeducational, but isn't that
what spring is all about?
The mound staff for one of the
teams included John "the Mass"
Messina and Patricia "Powerhouse"
Johnson. "Broadway" Harvey Hof-fenberg
handled the hurling for
the opposition. The fielding was
fairly good as well as being fairly
unusual. Styles of pitching in-cluded
overhand, underhand, side
arm and shot put.
Hitting consisted of singles, dou-bles,
triples and home runs. Less
common methods of scoring might
also have been used. More than
once the game was interrupted
while players chased a well hit
UFO that sailed in the direction of
Foster Avenue.
Although a few runs an inning
were scored, since it was a beau-tiful
evening probably on one kept
count on how many there were.

Illinois Wesleyan brought its
conference-leading squad to the
North Park diamond and their un-defeated
record emerged unblem-ished.
North Park managed only
five hits in the two games. George
Esplin absorbed his sixth loss of
the season while yielding two runs
on seven hits. North Park never
really had a threat going until two
were out in the last inning. After
Jim Biddle walked, Glen Behnke
blasted a curve ball towards deep
center. Tom Gramkow, the Wes-leyan
center, got his glove on the
ball but in backing up he went
from the field onto the recessed
track. The ball dropped for a two-base
hit and the only Park run of
the day.
The second game proved to be a
hitter's paradise, for Wesleyan.
Art Lartz led off the first inning
with a hit and North Park didn't
get another Until the seventh.
Meanwhile Wesleyan scored in ev-ery
inning. A total of 11 putouts
were made in the outfield. The
Titans stroked out 14 hits and
scored 11 runs. The total might
have been far more except for a
fantastic throw by Glen Behnke
cutting down a runner trying to
score from second on a single to
left, and also some clutch fielding
by Esplin and Lartz in the out-field.

Trackmen Have Loop Final on Weekend
Last Saturday, the track team
went down to hot and sunny
Bloomington for a quadrangular
meet with Carroll, Wesleyan and
Greenville. Our team needed to
beat Greenville in the mile relay
but could not so the Park got the
shortest end by just two points.
Home team Illinois Wesleyan lost
the meet to Carroll, however, by
just one point. The best perform-ance
of the day was put in for us
by our distance man Jim Hall. In
the mile run he broke the school
record by finishing in second place.
His time was 4:38.6 as compared
to the old school record of 4:41.6.
Jim also ran a good three mile,
missing his own school mark by
two seconds.

nois Wesleyan's asphalt track. De-fending
team champion of this
meet is Augustana and the team
seems likely to repeat although
Carthage will be pushing hard
from behind. As for North Park
the team is hoping to improve on
its finish last year and there should
be improvement by a couple of
places. The two people who have
the greatest chance of scoring in
the conference meet are Chuck
Burgoon in the shot and the dis-cus
and Bruce Metcalf in the pole
vault.
Congratulations are in order for
Bruce since he broke his own rec-ord
in the pole vault. His old
record of 12' 6" has been raised
to 13 feet.
It is also noteworthy that senior
Paul Zaeske has probably been lost
for the season. This sprinter and
broadjumper was retired for the
year by a pulled hamstring (thigh)
muscle.
Tourney Ends Tennis This Weekend
The Viking netmen dropped two
meets in a row last week during
the last week before the conference
tournament.
In their first game of the week
the team played opponents from the
Illinois Institute of Technology
(IIT) on Wednesday. The repre-sentatives
from NP lost the meet
by a score of 4-1. The score of
this meet was low because no
doubles were played and one man
from IIT had to forfeit due to ill-ness.
Karl Dahlstrom was the
only Viking player to win his
match. He defeated his adversary
by scores of 6-1 and 7-5.
The other match was lost a
week ago today when the Cardinals
from North Central flew in to
hand our team a 7-2 defeat. Karl
Dahlstrom was again the only per-son
on the NP team to win in
singles. He won his match by
scores of 6-3 and 8-6. In doubles
Karl teamed up with Dave Carlson
to make this school's only winning
doubles team in the meet. They
won their match.hy scores of 7-
and 8-6.
The team will end this season
when the members participate in
the CCIW tournament which is be-ing
held at Illinois Wesleyan to-day
and tomorrow. Last year
Augustana won the tournament
and NP came in at the seventh
position.
