'75 Festival of Faith
to start Sunday night
by Tim L. Johnson
Religion editor
A multi-media presentation
at 9 p.m. Sunday in the
Lecture Hall-Auditorium will
mark the beginning of North
Park's annual week of
Christian emphasis, Festival
of Faith — a week that this
year will rely on the resources
of the NPC campus.
The Sunday evening pro-gram,
entitled "The Word
Became Flesh," begins a
series of evening sessions
and noontime gatherings
which will conclude at next
week's Friday morning chapel
service (Jan. 24).
Full details of the noontime
programs, evening sessions,
and any additional activities
connected with the Festival
will be made known to the
student body through a
pamphlet to be published this
week, according to campus
pastor Robert Hjelm.
The pamphlet, which will be
distributed through campus
mailboxes, will be supple-mented
by a daily information
sheet during Festival of Faith
week itself.
Hjelm told The College
News that the week's activi-ties
have been planned to
meet certain concerns raised
by the student-faculty Festi-val
of Faith committee.
Highest on this list was thie
need to affirm the reality of,
and to imporve, North Park
as a Christian community.
"To get people in touch
with each other," and to

a required convocation last Fri-day.

stress this community aspect
of the college, are the
reasons that the 1975 Festival
is a "homegrown" project.
"An outsider cannot reflect
who we are," Hjelm said.
The campus pastor under-lines
the importance of
Sunday's initial multimedia
presentation, one which he is
confident "will turn out to be
a fine presentation of lite on
this campus." Compiled
mainly by audio-visual direct-or
Charley Peterson, this
program attempts to view the
people and life of the campus
in more personal, less official
terms.
Hjelm expressed special
pleasure at the support and
willingness of people to do
things to make the Festival
work. "There is a grounds-well
of concern to be a
community of fellowship," he
said.
Each faculty member has
been asked to utilize a
classroom period sometime
during the week for purposes
connected with the week's
events. Although this is
strictly voluntary, Hjelm ex-pressed
the hope that ques-tions
such as "how faculty
members came to faith, why
they teach at North Park, and
how they relate their discip-line
to their faith" Could be
discussed.
"This year's Festival is not
any type of judgment," Hjelm
commented in conclusion.
"It's an affirmation of our-selves
as a Christian commu-nity
and an expression of the
desire to move deeper in that
regard."

at Festival's center
Two series of programs will be at the center
of the observance of 1975's Festival of Faith.
One will run through the evenings; the other
occupies the noon hour.
The noontime programs will feature the
college's gospel teams, who will present their
music in the gym lounge (except Sunday,
when there will be a performance in the
dining hall). In addition, a number of films are
slated for noon screening each day in room
L-1 (basement of Wallgren Library); these
movies will be followed by factilty-led
discussions.
The other series of programs, beginning
with Sunday night's multi-media presentation
in the Lecture Hall (see above), will begin at 9
p.m. each night.
Monday evening in the dining hall, Dr. Peter
Fellowes of the English department will
present a "poetic progression of faith"
entitled "I Press On Toward the Mark."
Tuesday, also in the dining hall, a program
entitled "One Body, Many Members" and
featuring the drama gospel team will be
conducted.
"Joined and Knit Together" is the title
given Wednesday night's dining-hall service.
Speaking will be college President Lloyd
Ahlem.
Thursday night's 9 p.m. session will be an
all-school service of holy communion in the
college chapel.
The week's regular chapel services,
Wednesday and Friday at 9:15 a.m., will also
be part of the observance. Wednesday, the
seminarians on the Festival's planning
committee will lead the service; Friday is the
celebration's concluding program.
Board, students exchange thoughts
I Black ideas about NP I I What to talk about? I
by Loren DuPree
This past Friday, commu-nication
was initiated among
the Black Student Associa-tion,
three members of the
Board of Directors, and other
members of the North Park
campus — and although
student participation was
scant, all present made the
conversation informative and
stimulating.
After introductions, the
Board members opened
themselves to the blacks'
reflections and experiences at
North Park, and were recep-tive
to an explanation of the
tense situation all blacks
experience to one degree or
another.
The tense situation blacks
are in at North Park and at
other small colleges stems
from a perpetual chain of
needs, the immediate need
being communication. Fair-to-
poor high school back-grounds,
financial pressures,
the type-casting of blacks,
ostracism (intentional or un-intentional)
from social activi-ties
— all these contribute to
this chain.
• Consequently, blacks do
not feel a part of the North
Park College campus, the
Board was told. When it is
therefore assumed that
blacks congregate among
themselves because they ,
don't want to participate in
school activities, or when it is
assumed that all blacks are
jocks and cannot deal with
the academia or anything

A dozen people turned out
Friday to ask each other
whether or not there was
anything at North Park worth
talking about — and found
out that the answer de-pended
on who was wonder-ing
about it in the first place.
Students, faculty, and
Board of Directors members
alike expressed the con-viction
that indeed there was,
and that an inability to locate
Board of Directors members Victor Sundholm (left) and Norbert
Johnson, along with moderator Tim L. Johnson, listen while a point
is made during discussion on whether there's anything worth talking
about at North Park. (Photo by Don N. Johnson)
comething of lasting impact
at first glance didn't mean
that some scratching about
wouldn't produce results.
In the course of the
morning, members of the
group touched on several
subjects they considered of
sufficient import: budgetary
concerns, the food service,
the on-off campus split . . .
and, most important of all,
the establishment of a feeling
of community among those
who populate the North
Park campus.
Coincidentally, it is this
very subject of community
around which the campus'
upcoming Festival of Faith
celebration will revolve. To
those gathered in the gym
lounge for this meeting, that
concept is worth discussing
at length.
Friday, such a discussion
began with someone's won-dering
aloud why the present
population of students didn't
seem as emotionally or
spiritually tied to North Park,
the institution, as many of

Students meet, talk with Board members
In loco parentis What is a 'Christian lifestyle'?
by Katrina Swanson
North Park's in loco
parentis policy was the basis
for a 90-minute discussion
during last Friday's meetings
between students and the
Board of Directors. The
group, led in its exploration
by student Pam Sovold and
Board member Carl Hawkin-son,
recognized that though
the school's watchdog-parent
role may not be entirely
official, it's certainly one
that's pui into practice.
Although other areas were
discussed, the main topic
was that of dorm regulations.
A number of questions
cropped up: Is the faculty,
which adminsters these rules,
aware of dorm situations, and
that students desire more
lenient hours? And is it really
the faculty's concern how
students live, outside of
academic regulations?
Hawkinson held that "It is
narrow of us to limit the
faculty. Many on the faculty
have devoted their lives to
NPC — they have a
commitment to, and an
investment in, North Park;
surely they have a right to
their concern."
Still, the questions remain.
Why should the school act as
a stand-in parent? What
alternatives might there be?
An absence of rules, per-haps?
Students are treated as
adults when we reach 18
years of age at home, but
when we get to North Park
things are different.

Although the faculty
doesn't instigate regulations
such as the ones those
present were complaining
about, they are the first wall
that is run up against when
seeking change. But Board
member J. Frank Cassel
pointed out that the college
would not be able to exist
without an exchange of ideas
between students and facul-ty.
Hawkinson, a former Stu-dent
Association president,
told students that to gain
changes in present "condi-tions,"
organization and a
knowledge of organizational
tactics is required.
Needed, too, are more
student leaders who will take
time to do the organization;
and a moderate, not radical,
attitude, indicating the pre-sence
of a plan and the
exhibition of responsibility.
Is in loco perentis the
college's responsibility? This,
the session's final question,
was answered in the affirma-tive
— but with the reminder
that the college includes not
just the faculty or adminis-tration
or students alone, but
all of these elements.
by Jan Erickson
Is it possible that rules are
actually born of genuine
concern and compassion for
the welfare of another human
being? That the founding
fathers of North Park were
more concerned with people
than with legalistic regula-tions?
Board member Randolph
Klassen expressed an affirma-tive
response to both those
questions when 30 students
and administrators met to
discuss Christian lifestyles
last Friday.
Klassen, using alcohol con-sumption
as a theoretical
example, pointed out that the
earliest forms of Prohibition
were marked by a loving
concern for those afflicted
with the symptoms of
slcoholism.
"Don't drink, because I
care that you are hurting
yourself," was that initial
concern. Through the years
that statement lost its loving
tone and was distorted into
"Don't drink, because it's
bad." Thus the legalism that
we rebel against today was
born.
The alcohol issue lent itself
to a more specific and
widespread issue facing the
NPC campus daily: the lack
of unity between those who
abstain from and those who
participate in, such activities
as the weddy procession to
Stuby's. There are evidently a
What to talk about? I

the "old grads" do.
While no answer was
readily forthcoming, the idea
that North Park and its
people had a great deal to
share with others within the
institution seemed to indicate
that contact with other
people made for plenty of
important things
I Black ideas about NP I
(Cont. from page 1)
else, the situation blacks and
whites face here is perpetu-ated.
If blacks take the stand
that they are a viable cultural
and ideological group, they
must also take th stand that
they have a right to an
atmosphere conducive to
study and social content-ment.
At this point in the
meeting, other members of
the Black Student Associa-tion
and I gave alternatives to
the Board and the other
participants, consisting of:
• An increase in recruit-ment
of blacks from both
public and private shcools;
• Recruitment of black
professors for courses not
only in black studies, but also
in other conventional fields;
• Hiring of a full-time
black advisor to serve as an
alternative to the present
counseling program.
These proposals are felt to
be essential in moving toward
, the freeing of tensions which
cause neurosis in both blacks
and whites at North Park.
In the discussion that
followed, it was suggested by
one Board member that
funds might be set aside for a
black scholarship fund. David
Pearson of the office of
admissions called for more
black participation in recruit-ment.
Student Association
president Lisa Bringerud
asked that the possibility of a
black on the Board of
Directors be considered.
In general, many positive
things were said; everyone
had opened his ears and
heart.
This meeting was a great
half-success. As we all know,
at North Park we have had
many stimulating conversa-tions,
only to have the
stimulation end with the
conversation. Talking is one
thing; doing is another. In
order for this session to have
been a success, there must
be positive action taken by
everyone who is affected by
these problems — and I
guess that counts all of us in.

While some of those
things, like Christian commit-ment,
will continue to be part
of the lives of many of those
here once they leave, there
are some concerns with
conditions at the college itself
which also rate attention,
other members of the group
held.
Complaints about dining-hall
fare and red tape brought
another point to the fore:
Dissatisfation is always worth
talking about, as far as most
people are concerned. This
dissatisfaction may, in turn,
lead to change, affording
opportunities for exchange of
ideas on new fronts.
Board members Norbert
Johnson and Victor Sund-holm,
Dean of the College C.
Hobart Edgren, and several
students wrapped up the
session with similar points:
As long as there are people
here to participate in the
North P ark community, there
will be everything to talk
about.
number of holier-than-thou
attitudes on this campus
which do not appear to be
promoting any good feelings
between anybody and his
neighbor.
Participants in this discus-sion
joined our forefathers in
believing love to be a key part
of a Christian lifestyle or
response: If my consternation
is raised in genuine concern
for your behavior, let it be;
but, when it is based on
narrow judgment of a pres-cribed,
"good" standard of
behavior, what good does
that do for either of us?
As we find ourselves here,
part of a community, a need
is expressed for this commu-nity
to free itself from pious
expectations and recognize
that we are okay to be
whatever we, in clear con-science,
will be.
Motivation was also seen
to be a key factor in the
establishment of a Christian
lifestyle. Why do we, or don't
we, drink or smoke or spit or
chew or go with guys and
girls who do? (Or don't.) Do
we really care — or are we
acting out of fear or pressure?
What's more important, the
rule or the concern that
prompted it?
A final vital component
was seen to be vulnerability.
It often is hard to break the
ice, to say hello to someone
new; they may ignore you, or
laugh in your face, or take
hours of your time. Any way,
if you don't care, you lose —
but if you don't make
yourself a bit vulnerable,
there's not even a chance of
winning.
What, then, is a Christian
lifestyle? Many things, of
which these are only a few,
beg for consideration; from
there, it's up to us to figure
out — and act out.

Women cagers tumble
in year's first contests
The never-say-die Vikette
cagers of tutor Karen Gmei-ner
were dropped from the
ranks of the immortal last
Friday night, succumbing to
visiting Carthage 55-48 after
battling back from three
separate 10-point deficits.
The Redwomen used their
domination of the boards to
hold the Vikettes to one shot
at the hoop and hand them
their first loss at home in
nearly two years. The defeat
came on the heels of a 47-43
setback in North Park's
season lid-lifter against Con-cordia
the previous evening.
North Park freshman Lu
Jones canned a shot from
the corner to get on the
scoreboard first, but Carth-age
reeled off 10 unanswered
points to grab a commanding
lead.
During the rest of the first
half only freshman guard
Debbie Gustafson, who
grabbed game scoring honors
with 14 points, was effective
from outside. Meanwhile,
Carthage had muscled its
way to a 26-18 edge at the
intermission.

Jayvees stand at 7-4
The depth of the North
Park varsity cage squad has
guaranteed a much-improved
year for the Viking jayvees, as
evidenced by the balanced
scoring that has propelled the
reserves to a 7-4 start this
season.
Before their 76-67 loss at
Augie last Saturday, first-year
coach Ray O'Keefe's pupils
had won five of their last six
with five players averaging
over 10 points per contest.
Randy Colin, Al Jackson,
Ernie Flores, Jim Zoros, and
Al May (before he moved up
to the varsity squad) have
been contributing double
figures while the team's
scoring average has soared
over 85 points a game.
The Viking reserves
opened their campaign with
nearly identical 86-70 and
88-71 victories over George
Williams College and St.
Xavier College, but then lost
two straight heartbreakers
both by one bucket. Host
Lewis knocked off the Vikes
73-71 on a field goal with .05
left, and then Trinity Christian
pinned a 91-89 setback on
them.
Apparently learning from
their mistakes — few and far
between as they may have
been — the jayvees became
virtually unstroppable. They
began their hot streak with a
77-52 win over Concordia,
added a 109-105 overtime
thriller over Northeastern,
79-69 conquest of Carthage,
89-63 cakewalk over Illinois
Institute of Technology, and
96-72 shellacking of Carroll.
The only other blemish on
the Park slate was a 101-86
loss to Elmhurst.

But North Park could get

Groot's 36 propel Park past Pioneers
Senior guard Mike Groot
pumped in a career-high 36
points in powering North
Park to its second straight
victory last Wednesday night,
an 86-80 College Conference
of Illinois and Wisconsin
upset over visiting Carroll.
Two nights earlier, the
Vikes snapped a four-game
losing streak as freshman Al
May and junior Frank Dace
paced a 70-48 pummelling of
Aurora in an independent
cage clash.
Against Carroll, the hungry
Vikings matched the taller
Pioneer five hoop for hoop at
the outset. Groot, who
connected on 14 of 22 floor
shots and 8 of 10 free throws
en route to his scoring
milestone, hit his fourth field
goal to knot the game for the
fourth time, 12-12 at the
14:56 mark of the first
session.
After the lead exchanged
hands three times, Carroll
jumped out to a five-point
cushion on the strength of
the outside shooting of
all-conference guard Dave
Shaw.
But that 30-25 lead was
just as short-lived, as Mark
Dobrzenski and Tom Walden
came off the bench to spark
a 16-1 scoring surge, cata-pulting
the (Vikes into a 41-31
lead. Groot continued to
scorch the nets, leaving
North Park in control 43-35 at
the intermission.
The Pioneers regrouped
following the chalk talk and
exploded back into a 47-46
edge less than three minutes
into the second half.
North Park freshman for-ward

dumped in six straight points
to give the hosts the lead
they would never relinquish.
The excitement was by no

Augustana reigns in battle of Vikings
by Ann Pettit

ROCK ISLAND — It was
disappointing weekend for
most Viking fans.
In Sunday's annual battle
for professional grid supre-macy,
the Minnesota Vikings
fell victim to the Pittsburgh
Steelers in the Super Bowl. In
Saturday's semi-annual battle
for CCIW cage supremacy
among Vikings, Augustana's
Vikes knocked off North
Park's Norsemen.
All of which points to
nothing other than the fact
that jubilant Viking fans
across the nation are pro-bably
limited to the area
surrounding this city on the
Illinois-Iowa border. And
Augie's 67-61 squeaker over
Dan McCarre)l's roundballers
here last Saturday is worth
their salivating over.
First of all, the win keeps
defending CCIW champion
Augustana unbeaten in four
league frays, hot on the heels
of front-running Carthage
(5-0). More importantly
though, is that the victorious
Vikes were fortunate to
emerge from the contest in

their unscathed condition —
especially considering the
extenuating circumstances
listed below:
1) Augie starting forwards
Mike Michalski and Dan
Hillesland sat out the game
due to a two-week suspen-sion
incurred by Coach Jim
Borcherding (the College
News learned from informed
sources that Michalski and
Hillesland, evidently inebria-ted,
were caught taking
ornaments off an unnamed
town's Christmas tree on the
team's 'Southern trip).
2) the former pair's re-placements
in the lineup, Bill
Swieton and Greg Stivers,
combined for only 17 points
— markedly lower than the
scoring potential of the
suspended players.

in 67-61 toss to Augie last Saturday. (Photo by Jan Pollack)

3) North Park outscored
Augie 40-34 in the second
half, and except for a
three-minute span at the
close of the first half,
outplayed its hosts the rest of
the game.
Larry McGill and Mike
Groot scored field goals for a
4-0 Park lead following the
opening tip, before 6-11
Augie center Bruce Hamming
and Tom Miler got Augie on
track with buckets.
Park substitute Tom
Walden knocked in six points
to keep the visitors close at
17-14, before Augie raced to
a 23-14 edge on two more
Hamming hoops.
Groot moved North Park
within four points at the 2:30
mark of the first half 23-19, at
which point the hosting Vikes
streaked to a 33-21 halftime
cushion on the strength of a
10-2 scoring surge.
During the final 20 minutes
Groot, Walden, McGill, and
Jim Tierney consistently
found the range, but North
Park could only get as close
as five points, 64-59.
and Groot combining for 13
markers in a three-minute
stretch that produced a 69-58
bulge.
With 3:32 left in the
contest, Groot had scored 33
points and the Vikes had
breezed to a seemingly
insurmountable 79-63 lead.
But Carroll decided to
throw one last scare into their
surprising hosts, outscoring
them 13-2 during the next
two minutes of play to trim
the deficit to just five points
at the 1:09 mark, 81-76.
With visions of the SIU-Ed-wardsville
disaster (that had
seen the Vikes blow a
13-point lead in the waning
moments) dancing in their
heads, the Park put the
finishing touches on the
triumph as Groot and Dob-rzenski
canned six consecu-tive
charity tosses.
Dobrzenski scored 13 and
Walden 12 in playing sup-porting
roles in the Groot
masterpiece. Shaw paced the
losers with 25 markers.
Leading only 34-29 at
halftime against winless Au-rora,
the Vikings tightened
their defense and unleashed
the hot hands of May and
Dace to blow the game wide
open.
With the visitors scoring
only eight points during the
first 14 minutes of the second
half, May, McGill, and Jim
Tierney led a barrage of
ball-hawking that proved the
deciding factor.
Dace, May, and Groot
paced the drive to victory
with 12 points apeice. The
back-to-back wins upped the
Park's seasonal slate to 5-9
prior to last Saturday's game
at . Augustana (see story
below).
