Sign referendum
passes
"...A computerized message center
would alleviate many communication
problems efficiently and effectively."
That statement, from the Student
Association legislation adopted on
February 7, 1984, was refuted and
defeated by a school-wide referendum
held on Thursday, March 29. The
repealing of the legislation was voted for
by 202 students, while 103 students sup-ported
the sign legislation.
The referendum marked the end of a
heated battle that had begun early in 1984.
The rapid passage of the legislation with
minimal opposition was discovered by
students who then proceeded to draw up a
petition against the $2100 expenditure and
the sign. The original petition, not fitting
official parliamentary form, was replaced
by an acceptable petition with the proper
number of signatures needed to call for a
referendum. The Senate then voted to hold
a student wide referendum, which gave
angry students, senators and legislators
the final answer to the electronic sign
question, and resolved the issue which had
stirred up questions concerning Senate
representation of students, Senate
spending and Senate attitudes.
Chief Justice Cindy Nelson, in-charge of
elections, reported that voters were
passionate in both sides of the issue. "But
with little more than one-fourth of the
student body voting, that passionate
concern with the issue cannot be said to
have campus-wide credence," reported
one Senate observer.

Five years ago Claudia Sena was, in a
word, comfortable. She had lived in a
pleasant university community in Parana-
Entre Rios, Argentina, for almost 16 years
and was a well-respected young woman.
Her father was president of the
Universidad de Entre Rios, and Claudia
attended the secondary school that was
part of the university. She thought
Argentina would be the best place to spend
the rest of her life and had no intention of
leaving.
Today, Claudia lives thousands of miles
away in Chicago. She will soon be com-pleting
her second year at North Park
College, where she is majoring in
economics and computer science.
Almost six years ago, on June 1, 1978,
Claudia's father died suddenly at age 42.
The death of Claudia's father was very
difficult for her, but his death also proved
to be a turning point in her life. She had
been attending a school where her father
was in charge and she had always been
struggling with the reputation of being the
President's daughter.
Claudia says, "After my dad died, I had
to prove that I was Claudia, not just Dr.
Sena's daughter. I had to prove that the
grades I got were mine, not my dad's or
because I was the teacher's pal because he
was president."
Claudia says that if her father hadn't
died she probably would never have
considered leaving Argentina. But she
left, taking a chance on proving something
for herself. She came to the United States
as a student in the Youth for Un-derstanding
Foreign Exchange Program.
In January, 1981, she was placed in a
high school in Lafayette, Indiana, for six
months. She enjoyed the experience and
also became involved in the Evangelical
Covenant Church in Lafayette through
David and Sharon Held, a couple from the
church who were her "parents" for the six
months.
The Covenant forms of worship and
expression were difficult to understand for
Claudia, who was Roman Catholic by
birth. But the Helds gave her the un-derstanding
and explained to Claudia
what their faith in Christ meant. She
explains what happened to her:
"And there I was, sitting down in the
basement of the Covenant Church in
Lafayette with all new people, my
American family, and my pastor. It was
Easter. Everything did not quite fit into

2 COLLEGE NEWS
Cheating policy passed
On Monday, March 26, a meeting of the
full faculty passed a "Draft Statement
Concerning Academic Dishonesty." The
statement, drawn-up in response to the
fall's cheating uproar in faculty, ad-ministrators
and student quarters defines
academic dishonesty and outlines judicial
procedures in cases of academic
dishonesty. The drafting of the statement
was the responsibility of the Academic
Standing Committee, chaired by Vernon
Wettersten, with student input coming
from committee reps Jon Ramgren and
Chris Marks, with assistance from
President Mark Larsen, Academic Affairs
Chairman Harry Cullins, and College
News editor Tom Fredrickson.
The full text of the statement is follows:
Academic dishonesty runs counter to
the goals and ideals of every educational
institution and will not be tolerated at
North Park College. Appropriate
designated authorities within the College
will judge cases of alleged academic
dishonesty according to principles,
policies, and procedures outlined in the
Student and Faculty Handbooks.

Volunteers build reputation
by Kit Ash
While most of the North Park College
campus on a typical Saturday is oblivious
to the dawning of a new day; finally able
to indulge in the longed-for pleasure of
needed sleep, the Volunteer Carpenters, a
small group of students with carpentry
skills, consisting of Bill Anderson, Don
Bingham, Steve Haack, Ted Nyquist, Joel
Olfelt, Dan Olson and Kevin Gotberg,
joining together, to devote their time to a
variety of carpentry projects around
campus.
"It's been going on since last fall,"
stated Joel Olfelt, one of the carpenters.
"It began as Jon Ramgren's idea, being
part of their (Student Chief Execs Mark
Larson and Ramgren) platform to get
something like this started. Ramgren then
talked to Edgar who put us into contact
with the right people in the Physical
Plant."
"The Physical Plant supplies the
Volunteer Carpenters with the needed
tools and provides information on the
kinds of projects that need (to be ac-complished)."
Olfelt also said, "Bill
Anderson, the head carpenter, gets the
preparatory work done and supplies his
expertise."
Some of the projects the Volunteer
Carpenters have accomplished for the
betterment of North Park include making
a reference shelf for the Seminary
Library, as well as one for the main
library, building a few study rooms in
Sohlberg from the open space in the
lounge (allowing students to study in
quieter surroundings). Putting up bulletin
boards in Burgh and building a story case
for the school's new harpsicord in Hanson
Hall.
One of the latest projects the Volunteer
Carpenter's have undertaken is building
new park benches for the hump area of the
campus. The idea was originated by Jon
Ramgren and the benches will be made in
the 1920's curved-back style.
The $2,500 needed to fund this project
brought the volunteer carpenters in front
of North Park's senate.
Olfelt commented: "We're not an of-ficially
sanctioned group," meaning,
they're not an official school group,
because the Senate does not give them a
budget. "The school has funded the rest of
the projects," said Olfelt.
Olfelt appearing before the Senate said,
"The reason I want to do this (made new
benches) is to make the campus look nice.
We do live here and it's nice to have things
look nice." He also said, "It is more im-pressive
to perspective students and
visitors."
The Senate approved the funding by a
unanimous vote.
Olfelt also said it was highly probable
the Volunteer Carpenters would continue
through the oncoming years, and although
there are just enough people in the group
in the present, it may expand to two or
three more groups in the future for anyone
who has some carpentry skills.

my mind! I didn't know English that well;
I never saw taking communion like that.
"There was only a candle in the whole
room, so it was pretty dark; but still, I see
a cup and bread. I cried when my dad
died, and those were tears of losing
somebody, but that Easter evening my
tears were of winning somebody and
receiving somebody who was going to
light my way for the rest of my life, hold
my hands and teach me about love.
"That evening, in that church, sharing a
cup, an ordinary piece of bread, and
crying, I accepted Jesus Christ!"
Two months later, the exchange time in
America ended. June 8, 1981, Claudia
returned to her mother and sisters in
Argentina. She says, "I started to work in
the medical clinic in Entre-Rios, always
dreaming I could go back to America."
Her dreams came true December 1, 1981,
when her exchange parents, David and
Sharon Held, gave Purdue University her
qualifications and she was accepted with
honors.
The Helds and the church family
received her happily back into their
fellowship. But Claudia's experience as a
student at Purdue (33,000 students) was a
far cry from what she had experienced as
an exchange student at Lafayette High
School, and it was not what she expected.
Claudia said, "I was lost, it was scary,
and very competitive. I was looked down
upon because I had dark skin and dark
hair and an accent. I was considered the
girl from the third world country."
The pace and size of Purdue was in-timidating
to Claudia. The ensuing war in
the Falklands also concerned Claudia for
the safety of her mother and sisters. She
anticipated returning home to Argentina
when school let out in May, 1982.
However, Claudia was encouraged by
the Helds to stay over the summer and
work at Covenant Harbor Bible Camp in
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. She decided that
she would stay and see what happened.
While Claudia was at Covenant Harbor
she "met a lot of North Park students,"
and was encouraged by them to come to
North Park where she could receive a
Christian education at a small friendly
school. But the obstacles were immense.
She was a foreigner with very little
money, a restricted visa, a less than
impressive Purdue transcript and no
immediate source of income. However,
through a great deal of prayer and support
from many different people, Claudia was
able to continue her studies at North Park
College.
Claudia started North Park with a poor
G.P.A., but she worked and has since
made the Dean's list. She has at least one
more year at North Park, and after that
she does not know what her future holds.
She may return to Argentina, where she
could get a good job with the education she
has received in America. But she also
would risk the chance of never returning
to the United States. She cannot return
home to Argentina now without jeopar-dizing
her chances of finishing her
education. She is on a very restricted visa
and realizes that even just going home to
visit may mean the end to her education at
North Park.
So for now, North Park is her home and
she doesn't want anyone to take that
away. She has finally found a place where
Claudia Sena can be Claudia Sena.

"Neon" brightens
local art scene
by Greg Howard
Pete Fikaris is a mind-blower. We
usually have good but normal painting and
sculpture exhibits, but this is an
awakening slap for art seen at North
Park. Some reactions might be that of a
goosed grandma, but the majority will be
of interest and enjoyment.
The pieces are incredible. The favorite
would have to be "Bomber." Here is
movement suspended between a red and a
blue neon tube that throbs with the com-puter
sounds emitting from an amp. It
catches the eye (and ear), and draws one
in for close examination and in-terpretation.
A must to see.
There doesn't seem to be any weak
pieces. They each carry their own
fascination and some are even ambiguous
enough with their titles to boggle even the
sharpest clog banger.
Hopefully, the show will run to April
19th, in Carlson Lobby. All should see this.
They don't demand the observer to
discover any incredible deep meanings.
They are great to look at if one doesn't feel
like "getting in to it." The show is en-joyable...
and that's what art is for.

4 COLLEGE NEWS
Letter-writer, reacts to letter-writers
Dear Editor,
Upon reading the great number of pro-
Thorpe editorial letters last week, I was
forcefully struck by their vague redun-dance.
One might wonder if they were all
written by the same rubber stamp. It also
brings serious doubt to my mind whether
these concerned students had even
bothered to consider the worth of the other
two candidates, as if the other two were
not capable of providing "leadership',
"concern for student representation," etc.
In this light, the question, "Where's the
beef?", could well be put to these writers.
I think these letters were spawned by a
belief among the more staunch pro-
Thorpe supporters that the Thorpe
campaign was near to being down and out
after the convention debacle, whereupon
desperate measures had to be taken in
order to show an existence of grassroots
support for Thorpe.
If this was in fact the true reasoning
behind the deluge of mail to the Editor, I
think they were wrong on both points first,
that the Thorpe campaign was in a
desperate situation, and second, that these
letters would create an image of popular
support being really behind Thorpe, and
not the two convention nominees.
As for the situation of Thorpe's cam-paign,
the only effect the convention had
on it was to strip it of its myth of in-vincibility.
Personally, I, a Ramgren
supporter, thought the same thing going
Letters
on, and no one was more surprised than I
at Ramgren's power at the convention.
This sort of thing tends to happen to front-running
politicians when they or their
supporters think they've got the election,
let alone a nomination, "in the bag."
Many, if not more, Thorpe supporters
couldn't have been bothered with the
convention. I don't think they'll have
made the same mistake twice; their
danders will have been up for the election.
By the time this letter has been printed it
will be known whether it was enough for
Thorpe to regain the ascendancy.
As for the popular appeal of the letters,
it was in my opinion a mistake. The
redundant vagueness of their appeals
smacked of ignorant obnoxiousness. It
would have been much more effective if at
most two or three longer and more
detailed letters had been written. If
anything, it would have made their appeal
sound more intelligent. I think it was a
smart ploy on the editor's part to print
them all. Probably a few more Shoberg or
Ramgren supporters were created when
the paper came out. Maybe the Duke's
campaign showed some life.
Well, since the election will have taken
place at this printing, it would be futile to
support or tear down any of the can-didates.
Therefore I will refrain from
doing so and wish the new president good
luck and congratulations.

Tony Rice Church Street Blues (SugarHill)
When the rock and roll grind wears thin,
then it's time to go else where in the
musical spectrum. If a break down is
inevitable then blue-grass is in order.
Church Street Blues, Tony Rice's latest
effort offers some fresh vibrations that
will restore impaired hearing due to loud
ugly commercial music. For someone not
familiar with Tony's clean acoustic sound
and voice, one might mistake him for Bob
Denver, but let's not make any sick
comparisons. Church Street Blues con-tains
cover tunes for the larger part, but
Tony's embellishments with guitar
overload the album with originality. Rice,
who is usually known for his high powered
guitar work on instrumental albums,
surprises everyone by taking the vocals,
which are as good as anything one might
expect from any country radio station. As
for the guitar work, Tony has no equal for
what he's doing. Perhaps Pat Metheny
wouldn't be a bad comparison.
A few of the better cuts off the album
include Church Street Blues, Pride of
Man, Streets of London, and a Bob Dylan
tune, One More Night. Overall this is an
excellent album for anyone who ap-preciates
good music. Blue grass music
may not be huge commercially, however
the change of pace is good and it's good to
know the people such as Tony Rice offer
the public a fresher sound, uncluttered by
drums and electricity.

Local Concerns
To the Editor, and ALL North Park,
Not too long ago in North Park's history,
a major decision was made to remain in
Chicago. To be a part of Chicago, and this
neighborhood, requires more than just
location.
North Park is also, or perhaps just
professes to be, a Christian college. The
basis of Christianity is love, and integral
parts of love are concern, trust, and in-volvement.
To be Christian requires all of
this, and more.
North Park College should question this
school's responsibility in meeting these
two requirements. After observing the
reactions to a recent situation I was in-volved
in, I feel compelled to express my
concern for our College.
Byron Bruckner, after photographing
some neighborhood kids, discovered that
they were quite accomplished dancers.
After talking about his new friends here on
campus, some inquiries were made about
their performance at the North Park
Spring Event.
It is at this point that I became involved,
both because I love dancing, and I love
kids. The first few times we practiced we
did so wherever we could find floor space,
and were met with little more than curious
stares. Eventually the system caught up
with us. We were told we needed a booking
to use any North Park facilities. OK. No
problem. We book some space easy as 1, 2,
3, right? Wrong.
I was told "Hibbard students are not
allowed to play, rehearse, practice
sports," etc. using North Park facilities. I
said they were practicing for a North Park
event, which they were requested to
perform in, which would take place on
Campus, and they would have North Park
supervision by Byron and myself. Still, no.
I was given a letter saying that without
special permission all opportunities were
to be denied to us. As North Park goes,
however, with a bit of ingenuity and the
right friends I was able to sneak under the
red tape and the kids will practice, and
perform, but only through this one time
arranged by special permission.
Hibbard is a part of Chicago, and a part
of our neighborhood. We should be in-volved
with the school (Von Steuben also,
but that's another letter), and on a deeper
level than just being represented by
student teachers.
These are all good kids, who go to
school, study math, spelling, reading, and
all the other things you studied. They play
baseball, soccer, and football. They go to
church. Yes, They go to church.
There is a high percentage of Latin and
Korean kids at Hibbard, and both of these
groups have strong church traditions.
We proclaim that we are Christians, but
do we show these people any love. How
can we do this without being concerned?
Concern grows from involvement, and
involvement comes from trust. How will
they ever learn to trust if we treat them
like hoods, and deny them our in-volvement
by rule.
We are part of Chicago. Hibbard is too!
School policy should be geared to enforce
our involvement, not deny it.

FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1984 5
by Tom Fredrickson
chair, sb. A seat for one person.. .usually
the movable four-legged seat with a rest
for the back.
Given the word chair, most people get a
plain image of four legs, solid seat,
straight back, probably wood. This chair
is a tool, a necessity; it is something on
which to put a stack of magazines, a pile of
clothes, yourself.
Walking through "Chicago Furniture:
Art, Craft & Industry 1833-1983" at the
Chicago Historical Society, one sees lots of
chairs like that. Its archetype here was
made by Chicago's first furniture maker,
James Reed, who supplied the city's 350
inhabitants with simple furniture and
coffins a hundred and fifty years ago.
Every style and era has had its basic
chair: four legs, solid seat, straight back.
But to limit the chair to this spartan
purity is to ignore much of its charm and
history. For instance, by adding
upholstery to the fundamental model, the
parlor chair is invented. And how fitting
for the furniture belonging to the domain
of the Victorian family to come in family-like
sets: seven pieces of black walnut
with black horsehair upholstery made up
of a tete (sofa), a papa easy chair, a
smaller mama easy chair, and four ar-mless
baby sidechairs.
The parlor was also the showplace for
the middle-class penchant for novelty and
questionable taste. Thus, the chair
evolved into a variety of novel forms: a
chair with dog-heads carved into the
arms; a chair made from cattle horns,
looking like some sort of poohbah throne;
chairs and tables made from twigs;
wicker chairs; a lifesized curio — a chair
made from logs taken from Fort Dear-born.
Usually, parlor furniture was done
correctly. And occasionally, as in the
suites featured in Chicago's Palmer
House, parlor furniture was over-done
correctly. The W.W. Strong Furniture
Company designed and built the famous
suites for the hotel and proudly described
each mammoth room as "cheery and
bright," with furniture that was "rich and
costly," inlaid with floral marquetry
(inlaid wood), set beneath frescoed
ceilings. This apotheosis of parlor fur-niture
featured a chair done up in the
same lime sourball green as the rest of the
room. With its button-tufted satin cushions
and tassles hanging from the head rest, it
looks like some sort of architectural
dessert, a chiffon of puholstery.
Back in the middle-class parlors, the
chair marched through a steady and safe
The City •Seen:
C H A
progression of revivals. French Provin-cial
settees with ebonized frames,
Renaissance-style side chairs, small, hard
and uncomfortable Gothic chairs, Oriental
style, Chippendale, etc.
In the meantime, the chair was
discovered by a new group: the artists.
Under their guidance, the chair went
through a variety of metamorphoses. It
changes shapes and styles every couple of
years — not surprising considering the
notoriously short attention span of its
designers.
First, there was Art Nouveau, which
was noted for its fluid, organic lines and
detail, and for the fact that it looked as
though all of those creepy things on the
chair would crawl out and bother the
sitter. Then, there was the Prairie Style,
typically clean, geometric and plain. This
style gave us a lounge chair of weathered
walnut, with a butt-wide thong suspended
between two dowel rods for lounging.
Then there was Art Deco. In 1929,
Marjorie Robbins Goodman Hopkins
wanted her own Deco dream, so she
brought in a Hollywood set designer to
help her. Hal Pereira did up an entire
dining room in chartreuese, black and
pewter. The chairs in this set featured
bending beams of pewter inlaid in the
black backrest. Pereira later won an
Oscar for his sets in the 1943 film, The
Rose Tattoo.
By the mid-1920s, the Europeans had
gotten hold of the chair. A Swiss ex-patriate
named Abel Faidy came to
Chicago and designed furniture that
looked like props left over from Fritz
Lang's Metropolis. With furniture done in
maroon leather and black maple, it would
hardly have been surprising to see a
lobotized human take his place in the
throne.
But the most famous Eueopean to come
to Chicago and change the way chairs
were was Ludwig Meis van der Rohe,
leader of the then just disbanded German
Bauhaus. Mies arrived in 1938 and was
affiliated with the New Bauhaus in
Chicago, later known as the School of
Design in Chicago, later known as the
Institute of Design. The modernism that
Mies represented favored furniture made
from cheap materials (mylon, masonite,
formica, plastic) that could be easily
constructed. Unfortunately, this cheap,
easy furniture ended up costing thousands
of dollars. The Barcelona chair was like
this. Essentialy a park bench made of
steel and leather, it became a high-priced
status symbol because Mies chose to
decorate the lobbies of his Lake Shore
Drive high rises with chairs like them.
This modernism filtered down to the
middle-class parlors just as the horse-hair
settees were getting a bit thread bare. It
came in the form of tubular steel, and for
several years it was all the rage. Couches,
stools, tea carts, dinette sets — tubular
steel was everywhere.
Everywhere, that is, until the Second
World War put a damper on all the
frivolous experimentation with simple
things like chairs. Since then, Chicago has
no longer been the leading producer of
furniture in the world, as it once was. No
longer does it have the most daring
designers and innovators in furniture, as it
once did.
Today, Chicago remains a furniture
center only for the contract furniture
industry — the industry, that is, that
provides chairs and other furniture to
institutions like schools, office buildings,
etc. Each year Chicago hosts the largest
exhibition of this sort of furniture in the
country, called the National Exhibit of
Interior Contract Furnishing (NEOCON),
held at the Merchandise Mart. That show
features every sort of furniture, from post-modernistic
experimentations, like
Stanley Tigerman's 1983 chair called
"Tete-a-tete," which looks like an op-art
squiggle given three dimensions, to the
simple, typical chair that has four legs
and a straight back and a hard seat.
Both chairs, and lots of others, can be
seen at the Chicago Historical Society
Exhibit "Chicago Furniture: Art, Craft &
Industry 1833-1983." The curator of the
exhibit is Sharon S. Darling, and the
exhibit will remain in Chicago through
August. Chicago Historical Society, Clark
at North, open Monday through Saturday,
9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. $1.50 for adults.

starts at home
by Susan M. May
Last Saturday marked the beginning of
the outdoor racing season for the women's
track team. What started out in January
to be the largest team since the beginning
of women's track at North Park slowly
dwindled in number to ten participants.
Representing North Park on the track this
year are: Becky Anderson, Wendy
Hammond, Sue May and Mary Westphal,
all veterans of the cross country team;
joined by seniors Andrea Roe and Sue
Thorngren and freshmen Heidi Hanson,
Donna Magnusson and Ann Zwanzig. For
the first time since 1981, North Park will
be represented in the field events.
Stephanie Weber and Char Staffeldt, both
transfer students, will be throwing the
shot and discus. Sue Thorngren will also
be high jumping.
To start off the season, Coach Ted
Hedstrand and the team hosted the annual
North Park Invitational. Eleven schools
participated, ranging in levels from
Division III to Division I plus runners
from nearby junior colleges, which made
it one of the largest, most competitive
meets that the women will attend all
season. All in all, it was a very good day.
Sue Thorngren, running her first
collegiate level race, and Donna
Magnusson both ran extremely well
against the tough competition in the 100
and 200 meter dashes. Magnusson placed
sixth in the 100. Mary Westphal tackled
the tedious 10K run (6.2 miles or in other
words, 25 laps around the track!) and
finished fourth. Heidi Hanson ran a strong
race in the 110 meter high hurdles placing
seventh. Both Char Staffeldt and Wendy
Hammond reached new personal records.
Staffeldt put 251/2 feet in the shot and
Hammond raced to a time of 5:42 in the
1500 meter run. Sue May closed the meet
with a third place finish in the 5000 meter
run.
Tonight the women's team joins the
men's team for a trip out of North Central
College in Naperville. All of them hoping
to attain a new personal best. For anyone
interested, it's not too late to join the
team. Just see Coach Hedstrand in the
athletic office, or stop by the track any
weekday between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. A
special thanks to Dr. Horton and all the
others that made last Saturday's race a
success.
