High Student Morale and Spirit Say Examiners,
Students Show Appreciation of Faculty Members
Portions of the North Central
Association Visiting Committee Re-port
of April 1-2, 1968, which are
a reaction by the visiting team to
student life at NPC have been re-leased
for the benefit of students
and campus organizations. The en-tirety
of the report is on file and
can be viewed by faculty and ad-ministrative
personnel only. How-ever,
those portions which may be
of interest to students are open.
The report consisted of three ma-jor
areas: Introduction, Areas of
Strength and Areas of Concern.
In the section of the Report
"Areas of Strength" under the ti-tle
"Student Involvement in Policy
Determination on Student Activi-ties,"
the report stated:
"Faculty members and adminis-trative
officers work well with
student committees. There seems
to be little mutual suspicion and
no indication that efforts to ef-fect
change are considered hope-less.
On the whole, North Park
undergraduates appear to have
an effective voice in determina-tion
of the kind of community in
Which they live. Published ma-terials
clearly indicate the com-munity's
style of life, but these
are not received as unalterable
law or custom."
In another section titled "Strong
Student Government Organization,"
the report stated:
"Students at North Park are
well-organized for service to Col-lege
and Community and rea-sonably
well-organized to ex-press
the concerns of students
for academic and non-academic
matters. The commitment to
service to the community is deep
and has a long tradition. Not
too much enthusiasm for elec-tion
of student officers was re-ported;
some positions in stu-dent
government actually are a
bit difficult to fill. But the ma-jor
posts are ably filled this
Year. The examiners also had
conversation with the new stu-dent
body president, a very tal-ented
person. The Editor of the
student newspaper reported that
the faculty advisor is a very
helpful counselor and does not
exercise censorship — only coun-sel
— on items proposed for
publication. The editor spoke
appreciatively of his staff and
of the cooperation received from
faculty and administration."
In a further area of strength
entitled "High Student Morale and
Spirit," the examiners observed:
"The students with whom the
examiners met were strong in
praise of the College. They ap-preciate
the dedication and per-sonal
interest of faculty mem-bers.
They have respect and
affection for the President and
other administrative officers. But
they are not uncritical of certain
faculty members who, in their
view, are not masters of their
disciplines. Very few, however,
had critical words to relate.
"Students who transferred from
other colleges or universities
spoke appreciatively of North
Park. Its modest size, its good
academic program, its close and
supportive community appealed
to those who had transferred
from larger institutions. Those
who were not from the Covenant
tradition expressed no resent-ment
or misgivings with regard
to the College's traditions. Only
the required chapel programs
and the ban on smoking and
dancing received occasional criti-cal
comment by students."
In a final area of strength noted
by the team as "Commendable
Stress on the Question of Meaning
and the Moral Dimension of Life,"
the team stated:
"Students interviewed expressed
appreciation that faculty mem-bers
and administrative officers
deal with questions of value and
meaning, not leaving such ques-tions
outside classroom or semi-nar.
Indoctrination is not, ap-parently,
an issue. The Chaplain
reported at length op his many
opportunities to discuss ques-

ASIS Gives Us a Chance
How would you like to see Eu-rope
and get paid for it?
The American Student Informa-tion
Service places college students
in jobs in Europe, providing the
013Portunity to work with the peo-ple
of the community, enjoy free
tune to travel, learn a second lan-guage
and a second way of life
and possibly earn college credit as
vvelL -
Work opportunities are varied,
to say the least. Students may
work, for instance, on farms, in
resort hotels, in offices, in hos-
Pitals or in factories. They may
be placed in European or Scandi-navian
countries, or Israel, and at
any time during the year. Monthly
wages range from $25 to $400,
often including room and board.
The ASIS also sponsors orienta-tion
tours of Europe, which may
be taken whether or not participa-tion
in their work program is
planned.
Participants in the ASIS work
program are guaranteed a job in
Europe, and orientation and super-vision
as required. Arrangements
such as health and accident insur-ance,
tax exemption and living ac-commodations
are made by the
ASIS Placement Department.
The American Student Informa-tion
Service, founded ten years
ago, is a private, non-political, non-sectarian
organization. Its pri-mary
goal is "to promote better
understanding between the people
of the United States and Western
Europe."
For more information on appli-cation
for the ASIS tours or work
program, contact the College News
Office.
1. A maximum of five courses
may be taken on a Pass-Fail ba-sis.
2. Such courses must be
outside the 'student's major field.
3. No more than one course in
any one academic discipline may
be taken on Pass-Fail. 4. Credits
earned on a Pass-Fail basis count
toward the 37 needed for gradua-tion.
5. Pass grades are ex-cluded
from the GPA calculation.
Fail grades are counted as any
other F grade. 6. Application to
take a course on a Pass-Fail basis
should be made to the Director of
Records before the end of the
fourth week of class. '7. Such
application must have the approval
of the student adviser.
However, the student on Pass-
Fail must fulfill all course require-ments,
including assignments, ex-aminations,
tests, papers, classroom
participation and attendance. The
instructor will assign grades in
the usual way and send them to
the Records Office. Grades of D
or above for Pass-Fail students
will be recorded simply as Pass on
the permanent record; an F grade
will be recorded as any other F
grade.
The Ad Hoc Committee ex-cluded
Physical Education
courses from the Pass-Fail recom-mendation
because it felt that this
should be treated as a separate
issue upon recommendation from
the Division of Science.
This report was presented to
the Senate at the Oct. 7 meeting
by Senator Carl Hawkinson who
is the student representative to
this committee.
GRE's-Know Which Tests To Take
, Any student presently preparing
for admission to graduate school
should be sure to have fulfilled all
the requirements. Among other
things, many graduate schools now
require a student's scores from the
Graduate Record Examinations.
Individual applicants should be
sure to take the test in time to
meet the deadlines of their intended
graduate school, graduate depart-ment
or fellowship-granting
agency. The Graduate Record Ex-aminations
in this program include
an Aptitude Test of general scho-lastic
ability and Advanced Tests
of achievements in 22 major fields
of study. Candidates determine
from their preferred graduate
schools or fellowship committees
which of the examinations are
necessary.
At NPC, the Aptitude Test will
be given on Oct. 24 at 1 p.m. in the
College Chapel. The Advanced
Test in major fields, excluding Art,
Social Science Divisional, B.S. in
Nursing and Political Science, will
be given Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. in N5.
The Area Tests will be given on
Oct. 28 at 1 p.m. and the Advanced
Test in Education for those in the
Educational Sequence will be given
on Oct. 29, both in N5.
The results of the Advanced Test
in Education are used by many
large school districts as one of
several factors in the selection of
new teachers and by several states
for certification or licensing of
teachers. The school systems and
state departments of education
which use the examination results
are designated in the Bulletin of
Information for Candidates. Pros-pective
teachers should contact the
school systems in which they seek
employment for specific advice on
which examinations to take.
Copies of the Bulletin of Infor-mation
for Candidates may be ob-tained
from the college placement
office or directly from National

Hopes for Steady Fans
WNPC will begin fall broadcast-ing
this Monday at 5:30 p.m.
WNPC enters its second consecu-tive
year of broadcasting to the
North Park Campus.
Not only will broadcasting be
improved in the technical area
(WNPC recently acquired a new
console and tape recorder and has
had new transmitters designed and
installed in the dorms) — also
new wiring has been strung to
Burgh and Anderson Halls), but
also in the programming area as
well. Herb Ramlose, program di-rector
of WNPC, said that, "In
addition to the return of several
of the members of last year's staff,
this year's auditions have produced
many new, exciting radio person-alities."
Since WNPC is a carrier current
station, it can be received only on
the campus. The station broad-casts
on 590 AM Monday-Thurs-day
and also on Sunday.
The new fall schedule of Monday-
Thursday is as follows:
5:30-7
Mon.

12 O'clock, So All Is Well
Student Government at North Park is a fascinating, engaging, de-manding,
serious business for many involved, until the midnight hour.
With the stroke of the clock, all the concern and the fight, all the vigor
and the interest can be seen fleeing from much of the Senate. What is
a tense situation one minute is treated the next with such phrases as
"So whit?" and "Big deal!" Whether you can attribute it to girls'
dorm hours, social abhorrence of the wee hours or what, the fact re-mains
that student government is faced with an unfortunate problem
here. It's amazing how these Senators can be bound up in an issue for an
hour, let it drop for an hour and then solve it with no discussion at the
stroke of midnight — just in time to adjourn.
Like the NSA issue last year, this year's Senate has been grappling
with the establishment of committee membership. At the last Senate
meeting the question was "resolved." Student membership on the com-mittee
has been expanded to inclure: President Schermer, Justice Kokoris
and Senators Anderson, Bagley, Carlson and Nadalo. Ostnsibly, the
Senate was successful in asserting its will over president Schermer's, but,
as usual, the Senate minutes do not reveal all.
The issue took on much greater proportions last Tuesday, when
President Schermer motioned for the repeal of the bill establishing ex-actly
this committee. His arguments were based on three points. It was
a carefully prepared dissertation on the negative aspects of this already
enacted Senate legislation. And it was a failure, emotionally and logi-cally,
based on faulty ideas of constitutionality. Senator Carl Hawkinson
summarily dismissed all three of the individual points, using what proved
to be sound constitutional principles to back up his arguments.
The overall effect was that President Schermer's reasons for motion-ing
to repeal SL 5026 were shown to be faulty. But Schermer knows
his politics and is aware of the power of the clock. Since the motion
to repeal was listed under Old Business, there was pressure to proceed
to other items on the agenda. He then asked for the Senate to repeal
the bill, and bring the issue up again later under New Business. Sena-tor
Bagley asked him to clarify — if they repealed the bill now,
would it be reintroduced under New Business? Yes, answered Presi-dent
Schermer, to clarify to the whole Senate. This discourse should
be related in the minutes. It is fact. It is based on statements made
on the floor of the Senate. So the Senate backed down. They played it
Schermer's way. But instead of reintroducing the bill, President Scher-mer
personally appointed the members of the committee. The clock
had struck.
Enough Senators heaved a sigh and closed their eyes, that those
Senators still concerned, still willing to think were put in the minority.
To quote one senator — "You're all getting what you want anyway."
So the universal answer for a lot of Senators was to forget the means
and vote on the end. As long as the committee they had recommended
would stand, why think about the real issues involved — the Executive
vs. the Senate, the Executive word vs. the Executive action. For, in the
12 o'clock scramble there were too few Senators conscientious enough to
give a damn whether or not a man's word is good when spoken,
not written. I think it's a shame that so many Senators, Cinderella-like,
lost their crystal slippers of concern at the stroke of 12 and returned
to their havens of uncaringness.
Greg Johnson
Nothing Is Too Strong
There is some talk of "blood and guts" people at North Park. It is
evident from the confrontation already this year that NP needs students
who will not hesitate in their own tracks to avoid controversy or to ap-pease
NP's unique collection of "nice guys."
We speak of „"blood and guts," yet in the next breath — we breathe
compromise. When one student commits himself to a cause and in the
frustration of the moment backs down to complacency, when another
is wronged and feels strongly enough about the incident to make a public
statement yet later retracts this same statement to avoid conflict; then
this is not "blood and guts." When one student accepts the word of an-other
and later learns that the word of this student is worthless, when
another student gives an account of an incident and conversation and
later refuses to be quoted regarding this; this is not "guts" either.
A very few HAVE stood up for their values and commitments, but
these three or four students are now labeled as radical power seekers.
Where are OUR values?
When students cannot respectfully stand up for a cause or course of
events, when any obstacle can throw them off course, when commitments,
values and a sense of right and wrong no longer mean anything to more
than a handful of students, then this is surely not the year for "blood and
guts" people at NPC.
Student leadership seems rather lacking in this respect. Why must
"no" be so readily taken for an answer? Why stop at less than the best?•
When nothing is too strong or too powerful to stand up for, then
we shall see "guts."
At present, there is little evidence of these so-called "blood and guts"
people at NP, it appears rather to be the "blind leading the blind!"

Vox Populi
North Park
North Park is
on the edges
neighborhood.
is an island. And
a pretty island, but
of a not-so-pretty
The immediate en-vironment
is unique; the College
offers an expanse of green grass
and well-kept buildings; the neigh-borhood
offers the edge of the in-ner
city — to the south drab apart-ment
buildings with scrawny
patches of dirt and grass. The
College is an island — hemmed in
on three sides by cars and buses
and on the south by a grubby
neighborhood and its people. NP
students don't pay close attention
to this neighborhood; we walk
through it on the way to some-where
else.
North Park is a sea; the College
is a sea to the people from the
buildings to the south, a sea of
the unknown and unfamiliar.
Sometimes the people walk through
our community and down our side-walks;
but neither do they stop;
they too are only walking through.
Oh, sometimes the kids stop to
play on the green grass — but
just for a while, just until a stu-dent
or guard tells them to go.
North Park is an unknown sea,
surrounded by drabness and by
people; and too, the neighborhood
is an expanse of the unknown, at
least to the student sitting on his
island.
North Park is an "ivory tower"
— a place where students have
come to spend four years of their
lives, to cloister themselves, to en-gage
in classroom debate and to
look down from the "tower" onto
an imperfect world. North Park
is a place where students come to
prepare for becoming citizens; but
the four years from beginning to
end are preparation. North Park
then is potential — a place that
contains potential citizens, poten-tial
ideas, but more importantly,
potential neighbors. Don't dis-turb:
the students are only prepar-ing
now.
Is this then the situation? North
Park as an island, as an Ivory
Tower, the neighborhood as an un-known?
For some students yes,
but for others no: no for those
students who realize the absurdity
of waiting four years to be a
neighbor, or waiting four years to
discover if they've got anything to
give . . . Some students are be-ginning
to visualize themselves as
more than students — as residents
of a neighborhood, as citizens of a
city: maybe for only four years,
but for that time they see a re-sponsibility,
a responsibility to
view things and to be affected, mo-tivated
and activated by what they
see.
To be affected: emotionally and
intellectually; to be motivated: mo-tivated
by an obvious need; acti-vated:
becoming citizens and neigh-bors.

Political Spectrum:
What Does "SOC" Mean?
Something has finally been done!
Until recently, student life at North Park has been seriously lacking
in the exchange of coeducational activities and ideas. In the past, most
people found it useful to ignore the situation, others "played it safe"
and accepted their shortcomings, and still others did their best to make
sure it would never happen. However, these people all had one common
drawback; they deprived themselves of sharing ni a healthy coeduca-tional
experience.
It took courage, perseverance and a lot of off-campus students to
make it happen, and I am confident that with the formal recognition of
the Students Off-Campus Organization, Jim Bagley and his colleagues
will open up a new and positive dimension to North Park student life.
To be sure, there were others before Jim Bagley and Rich Swanson who
sought to achieve their goal, but they lost because when they walked,
they walked alone.
Far from jeopardizing or detracting from the high ideals of this
institution, the new "SOC" organization promises only to enhance the
nature of our learning experience. Jim Bagley and Rich Swanson are
not alone in believing that a groundwork for "co-ed" participation is
necessary for a successful four-year enrollment.
Does SOC have anything to do with campus politics? The SA?
Let's face it, if the welfare of the student body is a major concern of
the student government, and if the SA does, in fact, represent all of
us, then a permanent solution to the widening gap between on and off-campus
students is necessary to make the SA a truly effective force at
all. And I don't mean to dwell on the shortcomings of the SA for too
long, but it is significant that the only realistic proposal put forward
to solve this problem, and the only one to make it past the file
cabinets and paper models, is SOC. The fact that it was the off-campus
students who took the initiative in solving a major school-wide problem,
is also very significant. Instead of file cabinets full of "willy-nilly"
paper models, many students have already taken part in SOC's coedu-cational
exchange program. Makes you want to stop and wonder some-times!?
On the other hand, there is a school of thought which holds that
the activities which SOC seeks to promote are, at best, superficial and
are irrelevant to our purposes and needs at North Park. Part of the
dynamics of the college experience is that of character-building and, at
our age bracket, the coeducational exchange can be both our most
constructive personal endeavor and yet the greatest test (threat?) to
that character-building process. In the long run, however, our critics
must be included among the collegiate misfits who for so long "played
it safe" and championed our shortcomings. Superficial? Not hardly!
In the broader context, it is our most fervent desire that SOC lend
itself, in the most positive way, to the task of character-building among
the members of this generation of North Parkers.
What does "SOC" mean? Obviously, "Students Off-Campus." Or
could it possibly mean something more?
Louis Kokoris
ebitortat:
Let Us Have Peace!
The late Senator Robert F. Kennedy once said:
"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows,
the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral
courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intel-ligence.
Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek
to change a world which yields most painfully to change . . . I be-lieve
that in this generation those with the courage to enter the moral
conflict will find themselves with compliments in every corner of the
world."
To silence the voice which spoke these words cannot and will not
'destroy their meaning. They call the people to seek a new world — a
world of peace. Let us reply with cries of dedication and determination.
The source of world chaos is man, and man must seek to calm dis-order.
Each individual must create an air of peace in which all men
can share. Only when all men have peace can one man truly have it.
The task is great, but victory is within reach. Men united in war
must now unite in peace for the preservation of mankind. To continue
in the error of war can only lead to world destruction.
The light of peace shines most strongly upon those willing to accept
it. Let our generation accept its call and march for a newer world.
Let us not be discouraged by the mistakes of the past, but rather en-couraged
by the potential of the future. Let us grasp the sword of
peace with great courage and call the multitudes to join us.
Let the world ring with cries of peace for all to hear. From this
we can build a new world in which all will have a share. Let us be
guided by the thin of peace toward a world of tranquility.
Let us seek this goal not for one man, nor for one party, but for
the welfare of all men. Let our generation have the courage to seek
peace. Let us not shirk from this responsibility, but let us welcome it.
Let the world know that the students of this College truly seek
peace. Let us join the multitudes in the march for a better world.
As Robert Kennedy once said,
"Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle . . .

Wayne Stiska:
What Thinking Men?
In reading Greg Johnson's article last week on the "Thinking Man's
Senate" I became gravely disturbed that Mr. Johnson actually thought
the Senate was a useful body. He cited the rift occurring over the pro-cedure
of picking new members to a committee and eliminating old
ones by President Schermer without the needed and valuable ( ?) con-sent
of the senators. This simple problem of deciding who was going
to be on this committee took two weeks to complete and representations
of an attempted presidential power play will be heard the rest of the
Year.
Let me say that if this was a presidential power play, which I
do not believe it was, I wish the President would have succeeded. For
Years our noble senators have thought themselves like the Roman tri-bunes
but in actuality they are not defending any of the students'
rights; they are only defending their picayune whims. If one goes to
a Senate meeting he will abruptly be startled by the trivial proclama-tions
lasting for hours in the form of verbal diarhhea.
I am not saying that all senators are a bunch of nincompoops. Let's
be realistic; our president this year, who has a chance of becoming the
best one we've had, was a senator himself. Even in this year's'onion"
garden I also see the possibility of three or four senators actually amount-ing
to something.
I hope you do not think me critical of these dull-minded charlatans,
but they have deserved a verbal chastisement for many years. If you
do think me overly critical, just ask the senators what plans they have
for you, the student. Most likely they won't have any for usually their
minds are open — totally blank. However, if they do have ideas (mira-cles
never cease) don't just drop the conversation there but pick it up
In a couple of weeks; you'll be surprised at what has become of it —
Probably nothing. In my two years of being in the SA the only useful
legislation to come forth (which I have seen) was the elongating of li-brary
hours, and you'll never believe who got that through. (Tired of
guessing, well, it is that benevolent monarch Tim Schermer.)
The backbone, strength and moving force of the Student Association
are the ten commissions. As I mentioned last year in an editorial,
the commissions should be given voting privileges and the senators
Should be formed into something useful: like a Sophoclean Debating
Club or an extension of Young Republicans. The most effective and
progressive legislation which the Senate could enact this year would be
the "abolition of the Senate." I advocate this legislation and I have a
feeling that other people do, too.
I have nothing against the Senate; I feel they're a fine group of
4,n1ce" people. I would like to differ from the one senator who said,
This is the year for the blood and guts people." I have a feeling that
he, she or it is wrong in their statement, for I believe it is the year
for "snakes and snails and puppy dog tails."
We shall see.

M PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM A
SOUL BROTHER...I HAVE A SOUL!' —HUBERT HUMPHREY IN A SPEECH TO COLLEGE
STUDENTS.
Joe Lamm:
The New Nixon
The "New Nixon?" Senator George McGovern, referring to the
Bible, put it this way. "You can't pour new wine into an old bottle."
Decency has always been alien to Richard Nixon who has trampled
over many a good man in his quests for power. Using the Joe McCarthy
tactics, he accused opponents of being Communists, using the guilt-by-association
method. He ruined the career of Helen Douglas in 1948
in his House race by comparing her voting record to that of a Communist.
There was no evidence of her being anything other than a liberal can-didate,
but Nixon didn't care.
Nixon was one of the chief architects of the House Un-American
Activities Committee. Referring to Nixon's early activity with this
group, even Republican Conservative Thomas Dewey was repulsed by
his tactics. Said Dewey of a bill which Nixon proposed in Congress,
"Stripped to its naked essential, there is nothing but the method of
Hitler and Stalin. It is thought control borrowed from the Japanese.
It is an attempt to beat down ideas with a club."
The New Nixon? The New Wallace? In 1964, Nixon enthusias-tically
supported Barry Goldwater. In 1968, the Republican convention
ignored the voices and ideas of Rockefeller, Lindsay and Percy, and in-stead
Nixon sold out to Strom Thurmond and his bigoted colleagues. In
a tape recording which Nixon was not aware of, it was learned that
Nixon gained the support of Thurmond and the Dixiecrats by (1) Stat-ing
that he was not for Open-Housing contrary to what he had said
earlier because "I just wanted to get it out of the way." (2) By prom-ising
that he would try to restore literacy tests in the South ("Non-
Discriminatory.") (3) By giving Thurmond veto power in his choices
of vice-president, attorney general and secretary of state. His run-ning
mate, Agnew, voiced his disapproval of the Poor Peoples' March,
saying that if he had been president he never would have allowed Res-urrection
City to exist in the first place. No wonder Agnew was ap-proved
by Thurmond. Right to assemble? Democracy?
John F. Kennedy once said, "If a nation cannot help the many who
are poor it cannot save the few who are rich." Both Nixon and Agnew
lack compassion for the poor and underprivileged which is so sorely
needed. This was illustrated recently in California when Nixon ignored
the cause of the Mexican-American farm laborers by eating grapes while
the grape pickers' strike was on. To tolerate and dismiss the miserable
conditions under which the migrant workers live and work shows a
callous man — not a New Nixon.
A man sly and cold, a man with a shallow mind, a man who has
shown no courage or compassion in his services. Only men without
belief that America means more than power and wealth will vote for him.
The Draft: Topic of Talk,
Nixon Wants Pro Army
William Rentschler, chairman of
the Illinois for Nixon-Agnew Com-mittee,
was the special guest
speaker at a joint meeting of the
NPC Young republicans and the
North Park Academy Key Club,
Monday, Oct. 14. Mr. Rentschler
spoke to a crowd of over 150 North
Parkers as he presented Richard
Nixon's position on the key issues
of this election.
One of the main concerns of
many of those in attendance was
Mr. Nixon's stand on the draft.
Mr. Rentschler pointed out that
Richard Nixon is in favor of es-tablishing
a permanent and vol-untary
professional Army to take
the place of the present Selective
Service System. Rentschler quoted
Mr. Nixon in saying, "One of the
lessons of Viet Nam is that the
wars which may threaten in the
future will require highly profes-sional
armed forces. By raising
military pay scales and ending the
draft, we can have better military
protection with a smaller armed
force while eliminating the inequi-ties
of the draft in the most ef-fective
way, possible, that is, by
eliminating the draft."
The question of Presidential de-bates
between Mr. Nixon and Mr.
Humphrey also was posed to Mr.
Rentschler. He pointed out that
the American people are not look-ing
for a great debater for Presi-dent,
but a great leader and uni-fier.
In 1964 both Senator Muskie
and (then) Senator Humphrey
voted against suspending the equal
time clause which would allow for
debates. Mr. Rentschler pointed
out that this fabricated issue of de-bating
is a last-ditch attempt to
turn the tide of a Nixon victory on
Nov. 5. "Humphrey is desperate
and is hoping to find something
that will •upset the Nixon band-wagon,"
he said.
Following the meeting, the
Young Republicans hosted a free
ice cream social for those in at-tendance.
Roger McAuliffe, Re-publican
candidate for the Illinois
House of Representatives from the
15th House District (which in-cludes
NPC), was the honored
guest.

Dr. Kennedy Concludes
Research and Vacation
During the first nine months of
this year Dr. E. James Kennedy,
professor of biology here at NPC,
was on sabbatical leave. He took
this leave to continue his research,
on a full-time basis, on the effect
of cobalt 60 gamma rays on the
nuclear components of "clostri-dium
botulinum." He has been
working on this project since 1965.
Dr. Kennedy also attended gradu-ate
seminars and helped in the
writing of a technical monograph
on bacterial spores.
During the first six months of
his leave Dr. Kennedy worked in
conjunction with Dr. Nicholas Grez
and some of his undergraduates in
the biophysics laboratory at the
Illinois Institute of Technology.
Here they were interested in the
rate and mechanism of kill of an
organism when subjected to radia-tion.
They also were interested
in determining_ the size of the
DNA molecules in the cell and

Whirligig: Ties N' Heels
Several hours after our well-deserved
Homecoming feast of the
well-plucked Redbird from Naper-ville,
throngs of students, faculty
and alumni jammed into the gym-nasium
to see the SA production
of "How To Succeed in Business
without Really Trying." The title
might have been changed to "How
To Succeed in thoroughly Enter-taining
an Audience without any
Difficulty Whatsoever," for at the
termination of the performance, ex-clamations
and phrases of complete
enjoyment rang through the multi-tude.
This year's musical achieved that
all-important element, which no
previous NPC musical has ever
hit upon; a commendable equilib-rium
of acting and music. It is
not always easy to come across
individuals who are proficient at
both acting and singing, but this
year that peak was reached.
It is often said that the first
step toward a successful dramatic
effort is good solid casting. Here,
Mrs. Sheri Nelson cannot be con-gratulated
enough for her excel-lent
selection of players. The first
ace in her hand was the choice of
NP's own Peer Gynt, Mickey Ben-son
for the role of Finch. Mickey,
who is probably the finest actor
ever to appear on North Park's
stage, played Finch with his usual
"young man who is going places"
character, one which he plays well.
He attacked the role with his
usual vigor and an excellence of
comedy-timing. His singing was
in some parts weak, but never dis-couraging,
for the manner in which
he developed the character, his vo-cal
effort fit like a glove.
When chatting with Mick on the
morning of the show, he stated
something which slipped my mind
until the performance was in full
swing. He said, "Watch Bigelow.
He's great, and he'll steal the
show." Mick was not far from
the truth, for Jim Theorell's per-formance
as the haughty J. B.
Bigelow was one of the most hu-morous
and entertaining things in
the show. Amazing good timing
and a bumptious portrayed of this
rowdy, hypocritical, executive auto-crat
resulted in the immense amuse-ment
of the audience as well as
the strengthening of several scenes.
Theorell's singing was as robust
as his acting and aided in the
colorfulness of Bigelow's charac-ter.'
Let us hope that Mr. Theorell
decides to try out for more dra-matic
events at NPC.
Many of the character roles
were also interesting. The ludi-crous
character of Frump was an-other
feather in the spectator's
rib. It will be quite some time
before we are able to wash the
image of Bigelow's set babe from
our minds. She was probably the
funniest character to walk on stage
all night. Gatch, Turmble and the
rest are to be commended for their
fine performances. By the way,
someone ought to inform Jenny
Mickey Benson and Sherry Johnson in Ties 'n Heels production of "How
To Succeed in Business without Really Trying."
Kennedy Concludes Research, Vacation
(Continued from Page 3)
how much radiation was required
to kill it.
The last three months of his
leave Dr. Kennedy spent with his
family in Europe. There he vis-ited
radiation facilities and re-search
laboratories in Vienna, Aus-tria,
and in the cities of Goteborg
and Sharham, Sweden.
During his stay in England Dr.
Kennedy attended a spore confer-ence.
There he presented a paper
entitled "Oxygen and the Free
Radicals in Thermorestoration of
Cobalt 60 Damage in Spores of
Clostridium Botulinium in Ague-oris
Media."
One of the most striking things
Dr. Kennedy and his family ob-served
in Europe was the contrast
in attitude and appearance of peo-ple
in East and West Germany.
Dr. Kennedy's leave was both
academic and pleasurable. We are
proud to welcome him' back to
NPC.

Mitchell and Linda Wilkins that

We cannot pass the cast without
saying a few words about Mickey's
mate, Sherry Johnson. Melodious
tones coupled with fine acting made
her and Mr. Finch quite a pair.
A few words about the set. Be-cause
of the spread-out look of
the entire stage, the play never got
monotonous, and it gave the pro-duction
a wider scope. The most
interesting piece of the stage scen-ery
was the duel elevators which
were amazingly realistic and clever.
Success '68 will hopefully be re-membered
for quite some time.

tions of meaning and religious
faith with students who seek him
out. The required chapel is less
important in this connection, we
suspect, than is the commitment
of administrative officers and
faculty to deal with values in
the setting of a college explicitly
identified with a Christian tra-dition.
There is no suggestion of con-straint
upon students or faculty
members, and no cynicism with
regard to the College's stand was
evident. Academic f reedo m
seems to be preserved well."
As an Area for Concern on the
part of the students under "Fac-ulty
Advisory System," the team
observed:
"There exists some feeling on
the part of students that im-provements
are needed in the
present system of faculty advis-ing
in the freshman and sopho-more
years. The students ex-pressed
the feeling that faculty
advisors have so many student
advisees that the students have
to be "mass produced" and that
faculty advisors give the feeling
of being bored and bothered
when they have to work with so
many students at the registra-tion
times. It is recommended
that this matter be studied with
the thought of making some
changes for improvement."

Reading Days Planned
The College administration has
approved the idea of a reading day
or day of preparation before final
exams as proposed by the SA Sen-ate
last spring.
Rather than classes meeting on
the Monday before final exams, the
students will have the entire day
free to study.
Reading days this year will be
Dec. 9, March 17 and June 9.
The idea was proposed as a reso-lution
last spring by senators John
Heintzelman and Carl Hawkinson,
and approved by the Senate.
There had been discontent for
some time before with classes the
Monday of finals week. Some
classes were generally called off
while others met as usual.
SA President Tim Schermer said
that many students had assign-ments
due and classes to attend
all day Monday leaving a minimal
amount of time to study for finals
on Tuesday.
Several Senators credited the
free day as an accomplishment of
the S ch e rm er administration.
Schermer had urged the faculty to
establish this policy because of
"the great importance this insti-tution
places on finals."

Wesleyan's Homecoming Challenges Vikings,
Park Seeking First Victory Against Titans
I This Saturday our Vikings will
!travel to Bloomington, Ill., to do
I battle with the Titans of Illinois
'Wesleyan University. Here below
!are some facts about the team
!they will meet.
Illinois Wesleyan's head football
coach has occupied this position
I at the school for 14 years. During
!this time he has compiled a rec-ord
of 71 wins, 43 losses and had
!three tie games. Last year the
' Titans had a record of seven wins
and two losses. Among those seven
victories was one at the expense
of North Park. Illinois Wesleyan
won the contest by a score of 28-
19.
At the beginning of this year
Coach Larson said that he was
looking forward to the biggest
turnout of football players ever at
Wesleyan. He did admit that he
might be weak on the line due to
the graduation of eight starters in
these positions. He also lost some
of his key backfield men to gradua-tion.

set a pending NCAA record

So far this season Wesleyan has
a record of one win and three
losses. Starting off their season
on a bad note IW lost to Illinois
State University by a score of 34-0.
In their next game they lost to
Augustana of Rock Island by the
score of 28-20. In their two most
recent games the Titans have
lost to Carthage by the score of 20-
13 and then beat Millikin by the
score of 14-7.
Reports are that Wesleyan will
be a tough team to beat. Their
normal drive to win will be helped
by the fact that their homecoming
will be this Saturday. Hopefully
theirs will not be anywhere as
successful as ours.

Harriers Captured Sixth at Rockford—Cards Next
Last Saturday the cross-country
team met with a little better suc-cess
than they did a week ago. In
the Rockford Invitational the run-ners
captured a tie for sixth place
out of 14 schools participating.
North Park tied with IIT who the
Harriers will compete against in
their last meet of the season. The
first school at the Rockford Invi-tational
was the University of Du-buque
for Iowa, with Concordia of
River Forest a close second, one
point behind. The North Park
harriers showed signs of improving
by beating out Northeastern Uni-versity
and Trinity Christian who
they have run against and lost to
in earlier competition.
With 100 men running represent-ing
14 schools in the meet, the
Viking men finished in this order:
Art Koegel pulled 12th with a time
of 23:44, Jim Hall, 23rd at 24:20,
Jim Anderson 27th at 24:37 and
Jim Fretheim 47th and Dan An-derson
54th. The times were not
particularly good, but the course
at Rockford is over very hilly ter-rain.
In future events the Harriers
will compete against Coreordi a and
Aurora on Wednesday, Nov. 1e,
on Concordia's home course. To-morrow
the team may have to wear
armor and carry guns as they run
against North Central. The North
Central Invitational will feature
ten schools competing, featuring
favored Carthage.

UNBELIEVABLE! The stage was a warm fall af-ternoon
between 1:30 and 4:45. In
that interim the North Park Vi-kings
completely obliterated the
forces of the Redbirds of North
Central 104-32. The Viking per-formance
looked like actors coming
out for endless curtain calls at the
end of a successful dramatic open-ing
--- or should we say comedy.
Scoring started on the first play
after kick-off as Bruce Swanson
connected with the bomb to Zaeske
for a 59-yard pass play touchdown.
From this point on the Vikings put
on an offensive performance that
will never be forgotten and broke
records that possibly never will be
reached again.
The first half was truely some-thing
to behold. Senior quarter-back
Bruce Swanson connected
with eight touchdown passes.
Seven of those passes were caught
by end Paul Zaeske and Al Wil-
Hams hauled in another. Fresh-man
Leroy Dickens made two more
touchdowns with a 56-yard run and
a 5-yard sweep. A total of ten
touchdowns in the first half with
nine conversions brought the scor-ing
to 69-6 as the half-time gun
sounded.
Greg Murzyn showed us that we
won't be without a skilled quarter-back
in years to come as he re-sponded
with a 24-yard touch-down
run. A touchdown pass to
Williams and a blocked punt recov-ery
and run by sophomore John
Lietzau made the score 90-6. North
Central started to make noise as
they added 26 points on touchdown
passes of their own. It was at this
point that Viking fans started a
familiar basketball chant of "We
want 100." Coach Rathje com-plied
and Zaeske and Williams
caught two Swanson passes to end
the day's scoring at 104. A total

of 15 touchdowns, 24 first downs
and 14 extra points round out a
104-32 Viking massacre. The vic-tory
truly personified ttle Home-coming
theme of "Success '68."
A total of 34 records were either
broken or tied in that game.
Twenty school records, both team
and individual, and nine CCIW
records fell.
The North Park team records for
a single game were highest total
offense with 660 yards, best pass-ing
percentage at 64 per cent, most
yards rushing at 273, most touch-down
passes at 11 with the previ-ous
record at three. Most points
in a game with 104 with a previous
record of 49 set in 1960. Most
combined point total at 136, and a
record tied with three touchdowns
rushing.
Individual records for a single
game was led by end Paul Zaeske
with six. Most touchdowns in a
game with eight, most points in a
game with 48, most scoring passes
caught with eight, most points in a
season with 66, most passes caught
in a season with 46 -- tied his own,
most scoring passing caught in a
season with 11.
Quarterback Bruce Swanson
broke four more records with most
touchdown passes in a game with
ten, best passing percentage with
an incredible 71 per cent, and fi-nally
most scoring passes thrown
in a season with 15.
Freshman halfback Leroy Dick-ens
broke school tradition as he
danced his way to two records with
165 yards rushing and a 20.6-yard-per-
carry average for a single
game.
Extra-point artist Art Ander-son's
string of consecutive conver-sions
was broken at 35. However,
Art rounded out the record-break-ing
with 14 conversions in a single
game.
CCIW records also fell as Swan-son
set two with 10 touchdown
passes in a game. Zaeske now has
the most touchdown passes caught
with eight, and the most points in
a game with 48. Art Anderson put
his name in the CCIW record book
with the most consecutive conver-sions
at 22, and most conversions
in a game at 14.
