Two new trips offered
Project Period:
From Austria
to Haiti
by Eric Lundberg
While most North Park students spend
Spring Break at home or on their own
private jaunts down south, eighty or so
North Parkers will be taking part in
various college-sponsored projects. Trips
to Austria, Haiti, the Grand Canyon, and
two trips to Florida are slated for the
Spring Break Project Period this year.
The Grand Canyon, Everglades, and
Florida bike trips are programs that have
been held successfully for a few years, but
this Spring Break will have two new trips -
- to Austria and Haiti. The Austrian
project is being held in conjunction with
alumni and will offer students the chance
to ski, sightsee, and learn about the
culture of Austria. The group will also
travel to Stockholm, Sweden. The Haiti
project is the first of its kind in that
students will not only be learning and
recreating, but will work on a rural
project for a village in Haiti.
These projects are all sponsored by the
college through the Off-Campus
Education Committee. The Committee,
which has $8,000 to work with, helps
defray some of the cost of each trip, to
make them more accessible to students.
According to Professor Robert Tofte,
"One of the most important things we've
got going for us is the Project Period.
Students really benefit from it." Few
schools have a program like North Park's
according to Tofte.
Tofte says the projects originated when
Prof. Robert Byrd, former political
science teacher at North Park, started
leading trips to the United Nations and
Washington D.C. From there it was
Friday, February 18, 1983
adopted by the school as an official part of
their off-campus educational program and
expanded into other areas. "We're ex-panding
now," says Tofte. He mentions
that the program has other trips
scheduled outside of the Spring Break. A
trip to Baja, California in Mexico is
scheduled for three weeks in late May and
early June. There are also plans for a
backpacking excursion into the Wind
River Range of northwestern Wyoming,
probably in August. Tofte also says that
Mrs. Zemelis, German teacher at North
Park, is making plans for an 8-10 week
program in Austria and Germany this
autumn. All these trips, he says, are open
for application.
The Off-Campus Education Committee
is also inauguration a program of mini-projects.
"These can take place any time
of the year," says Tofte. Examples of
mini-projects taking place spring term
are a day trip to the Museum of Science
and Industry led by Computer Instructor
Wes Lindahl, a tour of Chicago's
specialized libraries led by Librarian
Sonia Bodi, and a trip to a "Language
Enclave" in Lake Geneva led by the
Language Department.
Tofte thinks all students should try to
take part in a school-sponsored project,
"You have to experience these kinds of
trips," he says. "You can always go skiing
or down to Florida by yourself, but you
miss out on the people part of the trip." All
trips sponsored by the Off-Campus
Education Committee are open to any
type of student, regardless of major.

In honor of picture night at the Senate

The 20th annual Student Association

heading up the planning for it.

Dan Anderson, chairman of the Food
Service Committee, announced some of
the results of the survey which was
recently taken in the dining hall. Pictured
are the ratings for the whole survey, for
vegetables (the lowest), and for
beverages (the highest). Anderson also
reported that ARA will not put butter on
the vegetables anymore, since 24 persons
complained about it on the surveys. And,
ending a long and sometimes bitter
dispute, the Food Service is going to have
"100 per cent real cheese."
Janet Peck, Religious Life Committee
Chairman, announced that the Faculty
Religious Activities Committee is
discussing plans to combine R.L.C.
Weekend and Festival of Faith into one
Fall term celebration. She said that they
are hoping to bring Phil Keaggy or some
other "big name" Christian artist here for
a concert.
The Social Events Committee, chaired
by Dianne Holme and Shelli Hansen, is
looking into the possibility of sponsoring a
Boat Dance May 7. In a straw poll of the 37
persons present, about half were in-terested
in the dance idea.
Anderson, who is also the Budget and
Finance Chairman of the Spring Event,
then presented the Administration-approved
budget for the April 29-May 1
festivities. As is proposed, the Senate will
spend another $200 ($400 has already been
appropriated), the Alumni Association
will chip in $300 and the Administration
will add $1,875. In approving the budget,
the Administration said that $1,875 was a
maximum and that total costs should be
kept as low as possible (i.e. raising money
by selling ads and getting discount or free
publicity and services).

Not tonight, I have
a headache
Ouch — that hurts! You feel about 2
inches tall and your pride has been
damaged beyond all possible repair. Your
hopes are dashed onto the rocks and the
world seems like it's crashing in on you.
Yes, when a guy asks a girl out for a
date and she turns him down, the guy feels
like life is just one big bummer. What
makes the turndowns so humiliating is the
absurdity of the excuses. They are just
utterly ridiculous sometimes. I've con-ducted
a little "rejection research" in
Burgh Hall and have obtained a small
sampling of the excuses which guys at
North Park have sometimes received
when they've tried to ask out a girl here.
So if you need a good laugh, just relax,
kick back, and enjoy the comedy in the
following list of excuses.
Might as well start off with a real dandy.
How 'bout this one: "I'm going to Mc-
Donald's with the girls." Such a wonderful
feeling comes over a guy when it is
revealed to him that the girl he likes would
rather be sucking on a Big Mac instead of
going out with him (boy, I almost said
something that could have gotten me in
trouble. Whew).
"I've got a date with a book." It's just as
well if that's the excuse. Anyone who

would do homework on a Saturday night
can't be too exciting. On the other hand, it
sure doesn't set very well knowing that
she might think that a textbook is more
exciting than you are. Ouch.
"I would, but I have a give a haircut."
Oh brother, I can't stand it. She'd rather
play with scissors all night. Well, like they
say nowadays, "whatever turns you on."
Here's one that will blow your britches
off. "Maybe after basketball season is
over." What difference does it make
whether or not it's basketball season? It
doesn't. This excuse is like a non-redeemable
raincheck. It just doesn't
make any sense whatsoever. Too weird.
"Oh yeah, I have to cancel our date. I
just didn't get around to telling you." This
rejection was given to a friend of mine on
the day of the scheduled date. He had only
asked her out for this night two weeks
earlier. Poor guy.
Here's got to be one of the best of all
time: "Do you think we'll be back by 7:30
so I can watch Steve play Dungeons and
Dragons?" This broad obviously has no
tact. It's hard to believe that everyone
doesn't know that all dates normally last
until 8:00.
Here are some other intriguing rejection
excuses that girls at North Park have
used:
"My boyfriend might not like it."
"I'm going to the Ground Round to see
Scott and Bambi play."
"I'm going to the Big Sis — Little Sis
jungle party."
"I don't know. Can I think about it?"
"I would, but I have a friend who would
really like to go out with you, and she'd kill
me."
"My girlfriend is coming into town this
weekend."
"Two dates is enough. I don't want to get
serious."
"I don't want to go out with you
anymore. Let's just be friends."
"I'm too busy."
"I would, but I have to go running
tomorrow."
"I don't think I can."
Just too much, isn't it? If they don't
want to go out with you, why don't they
give a straightforward, intelligent reason
such as "Thank you very much, but I
would prefer not to." Enough of these
other phony excuses. They don't make a
guy feel any better than if you're straight
with him. In fact, they tend to create
bewilderment in the guy because he can't
figure out what in the world a girl means
when she gives a silly excuse.
Women: they're just too hard to figure
out. But I guess that's what makes them so
fun and exciting, and the dating game all
the more adventurous.
with love,

Editor's notice
The review of the Winter One-Acts was not completed by press time. It will be included
in the first issue of Spring term. We apologize.
As this issue went to press, it was learned that the 20th annual Student Association
Presidential Nominating Convention had been scheduled for March 18, the day that the
next College News issue comes out. This prevents us from publicizing one of the most
important (and enjoyable) annual functions at North Park. What makes this even more
distressing is the decline in participation and quality at the Conventions of the past two
years.
For those students not familiar with the Convention, it is based on the model of the
national conventions of the Democratic and Republican parties. There are state
delegations (at North Park, states usually form along the lines of the State of Shock,
State of Inebriation, State of Apathy, etc., and dress and act accordingly at the Con-vention)
formed by various groups of students, each with at least five delegates, and
each delegation has one vote on the floor of the Convention. Various presidential can-didates
declares themselves, give speeches, and try to recruit, politic, plead, and
otherwise bargain with states for their votes. The process continues unti the field is
narrowed down to two (theoretically) candidates, who then run against each other in the
presidential election.
Whether hilarious, riotous, angry, or merely controversial, the Convention is always
one of the most interesting things that happens during the school year. On behalf of the
SA, I would like to encourage all students — on and off-campus — to talk up and par-ticipate
in this year's Convention. Those interested in more details should ask a member
of the Senate.
Again, I'm sorry that scheduling conflicts prevent the News from being able to further
promote the Convention. I hope to see you all there, however.

New comedy
"insightful and witty"
by Frumpert Frumpert
Eric Rotuner's latest comedy (French
with subtitles, and now showing at the
Sandburg theatre, 1204 N. Dearborn) is
charming in all the best senses of that
term. Rotuner has taken a quaintly stock
romantic comedy situation — the at-tractive
and fiercely independent woman
on a husband-hunt — and turned it into a
film which is at once playful, insightful,
witty, painstakingly realistic and honestly
funny. The laughs Le Beau Manage
provides are the kind you have about your
friends. They catch a character when he is
secure and open — hiding nothing, playing
to an affectionate audience. Let in on the
confidence like any other friend, you
become an affectionate spectator who can
fully appreciate the irony when romance
enters the picture later and the lies and
self-deceptions become fruitful and
multiply.
Rotuner wastes little time in getting to
that point. His heroine, Sabine, is a
twenty-five year old woman who is
working half-heartedly on her master's
thesis in Art History and a touch more
energetically on her love affair with
Simon, an established artist with two
children and a wife whom he will probably
divorce someday. Interrupted during a
session of lovemaking by a call from
Simon's children, Sabine reaches a
decision which has been a long time in
coming. She is tired of married men and of
single men who don't want to become
married. She is tired of her own in-dependence
and rootlessness. When Simon
is back from paying affectionate attention
to his child's account of a playground
triumph, Sabine hits him with an an-nouncement:
she is getting married. To
whom? She won't know that until it
happens, and she has no one in mind,
Simon least of all; but one thing is certain:
Sabine is getting married.
In many hands this would be the stuff of
high farce. Sabine could easily become
some sort of Theresa Dunn with a
matrimony fetish, hoping and hopping
from man to man with her heart con-stantly
exposed and broken until the two
hours are mercifully up and Mr. Goodbar
strides in with a wedding ring to put a
happy ending to all the hilarity.
Rotuner, however, has more gentle
humor in mind. He concentrates the action
on a single hopelessly forced affair,
allowing the small ironies of love and life
to develop his characters as the film goes
along. Sabine's best friend Clarisse
(Arielle Dombasie) introduces her to
Edmond (Andre Dussollier) who is a
cousin of hers. With a mention that Sabine
is "his type" and a knowing nod Clarisse is
off, leaving her friend to decide that she is
experiencing love at first sight, just as
Clarisse had with her husband.
Suddenly Sabine, whose unintimidating
good looks have always insured that she
could have virtually any man she wanted,
is out of her league. She's trying to marry
with malice aforethought in a world in
which marriage is an afterthought if it's
thought of at all. With Clarisse's advice
and encouragement, she embarks on a
delightfully Victorian sort of romantic
pursuit. Edmond is busy with his work as
a lawyer in Paris; Sabine is busy being
unemployed in Le Mans, so she has plenty
of time free to put in calls to his office,
where his secretary usually tells her that
Msr. Sureau is in a meeting and can't be
disturbed until sometime next week.
Their relationship never gets much
more physical than that. Sabine has had
plenty of men willing to fall in love with
her; what she's after now is a man who
"wants to marry" her. Desire is the key.
Like any good Victorian heroine, she in-stinctively
senses that a good obvious hint,
a couple of teary eyes and (if needed) a
tearful "no" are the spices of romance,
blending allure, imagination and lack of
release in a cauldron of passion until the
chosen male is so far gone with desire that
the final gratification cannot possibly take
place in any but the marriage bed.
Unfortunately, Edmond is not a Vic-torian
man. Denied the chance to play the
game by more loose modern rules — or
even to decide that he wants to play the
game at all — he is immediately put on his
guard. In one of the most enjoyably un-derstated
pieces of comic acting I've seen
recently, Andre Dussollier develops a
pinched smile and a nervously wandering
eye as Beatrice Romand treats him to a
self-explication obviously designed to let
him in on all those things a good husband
will want to know about his intended. All
this in a restaurant on their second
meeting.
The restaurant scene is indicative of the
rest of the movie. Roluner consistently
shows as much interest in the listener as
he does in the speaker. Throughout the
speech the camera stays on Edmond. It it
his reaction, not her words, that gives the
moment its significance. It takes two to
tango, and it is made subtly clear that
Edmond isn't interested in dancing to the
distant tune of wedding bells. In the same

Hello, Dali
Sometimes, in the deep-deep of the
night, I awake from my nightmares and I
know that I'd rather spend eternity in my
high school gym class than go back to
sleep. I have either read myself to sleep
with Hunter S. Thompson or Revelations
and I know I can't tread that path again.
After all, it's not that easy being green. So
I toss off my Neil Armstrong quilt and
stumble to the Magnavox and viola! what
do I see: people. People, male and female,
in various stages of dress and undress,
talking to this puppet as if it were more
human than they. I am watching
Madame's Place.
Sure, it's been done before. Howdy
Doody was big, but that doesn't stop this
from being one of the more unsettling
experiences of my adulthood. Perspective
can be a dangerous thing. I had unex-pectedly
stumbled onto an important
concept. Surrendipity. The unexpected
appearance of something surreal.
For those of you who aren't sure what
surrealism is, think carefully about these
television shows (and the fact that people
earned their living doing them): Bewit-ched,
I Dream of Jeannie, My Mother the
Car, Hogan's Heroes. If these strike you as
only slightly out of sync with reality, then
you're getting the hang of it. If they scare
the wits out of you, then you're fully
human and probably baptized and con-firmed;
if they oddly fascinate you, then
you are probably a closet surrealist.
But television is too easy. Sure, it's late
at night and in your soporific innocence
you twist a knob and up pops Madame, or
a ventriloquist and his dummy hosting a
game show where people tell the audience
the twisted trials and pains of their lives
and accept advice from a numerologist
and Dr. Joyce Brothers (So You Think
You've Got Troubles, now, sadly, can-celled)
- of course you will probably
swallow your tongue. To get this flaming
bit of weirdness when you expect an All-
American slab of intellectual and cultural
Crisco is too much to deal with. But there
are other more subtle oddities; the great
backgammon craze of '80-'81, the fact that
people put holes in their ears and hang bits
of jewelry from them, Lucky Charms
cereal ("Hey, there are marshmallows in
my breakfast"). Not to mention a chance
meeting with Captain Fun himself, Mr.
Stewart in the Carlson Tower elevator.
Sca-bee-bop-bee-tioo-wop, Bobby Troup,
Bobby Troup.
But what's so odd about life on Route
Sixty-Six anyways? The fact is that this
phenomenon is a product of the twentieth
century: Picasso, Hitler, Stravinsky,
Chuck Barris, Richard Nixon, Chevy
Chase, Bruce Johnston, and Lloyd Ahlem
all holding hands, dancing around the
traditions of past centuries. Like logic,
good taste, nutritional balance, and day
baseball. Did Chuckie Dickens have to
deal with concepts like hair permanents
and Toni Basil's "Mickey" grabbing him
by the ankles? No, all he had was social
injustice and making ends meet. It is
clearly a modern burden to deal with the
fear that creeps into our days like cold air
into a baby's nursery. That is surren-dipity.
Surely this is the work of the Prince of
Darkness. Nonsense is his best buddy -
they go out for shots and beer, all the
time.. .every night. And the big N.P. is one
of Satan's first targets. People from
Chalice, Minnesota and Holy Element,
California are wholly unprepared for his
dirty work. But still it creeps in. I hear
cries of "Providence live in the Cranny;"
any male who's been out on a date at
Covey Central knows the feelings of the
robot from Lost in Space: "Danger,
danger. Abort, abort;" the mid-winter
conference has brought ministers from all
over the nation swooping down upon our
city like a flock of pious shriners. This is
the stuff nightmares are made of. You're
the top, you're Mahatma Gandhi; You're
the top, you're Napoleon brandy.
What can we do? Embrace it? After all,
Skylab fell on that most surreal of con-tinents,
Australia. Shun it? Then all we do
is hide from reality once more, and don't
we all do enough of that - whether through
alcohol or prayer? No, all we can do is
keep in that rhumba line we know as life,
throwing one hip towards good one
minute, one hip towards evil the next.
Because after reality, limp watches are
nothing. I don't know, I begin to ramble.
All I know is, "My momma done told me
there's blues in the night."

COMEDY
continued from page 2
way, an isolation shot of Sabine during one
of Clarisse's extended romantic
stratagems both reveals her growing
interest and gives a hint that she is forcing
things. The obvious affection between the
two women enhances the affection we
already have for both of them and saves
Clarisse from being thought silly and
meddlesome, even though we can see that
her advice is ill-considered and hasty. Le
Beau Manage is played too close to home,
and its characters have too much of us and
those we care about in them for anyone
but a hypocrite or collegiate movie critic
to hazard a snap judgment.
None of this would work without
exquisite acting. The blending of genuine
attraction and force of will is difficult to
bring across, but Romand manages it
perfectly. Her work with Arielle Dom-basie
(Clarisse) is as natural as any work
I've seen watching two real world girls
plotting some poor guy's downfall; and
Dusollier's polite discomfort is the proper
complement to Romand's feinting for-wardness.
Finally, it is Rolimer's natural gen-tleness
of touch which makes Le Beau
Manage the success it is. He gives his
characters farcical actions; and, without
making them any less funny, he softens
the farce by treating his creations with the
sort of affection and forgiveness we all
want from our friends. Modern literature
and art with their existential preoc-cupation
have downplayed the soft,
forgiving aspects of life in community.
Perhaps enough of us have gagged on
Sartre and Hemingway. With more
ungentle times ahead of us, movies like Le
Beau Manage are an intelligent and
necessary rebuttal to Raging Bull. It is
possible to mingle honesty and affection.

has informed us that those who now
register, even though late, are not
prosecuted.
Sometimes, special registration
arrangements are made for the con-venience
of our young men, but the U.S.
post offices remain the only sure way to
register with the U.S. Selective Service
System.
With the potential cutoff of federal
financial aid to men who have not
registered for the draft, the student
government of Northwestern University
has passed a resolution opposing this
policy. Northwestern's Associated Student
Government (ASG) has called upon the
school's administration to replace federal
grants and loans cut off to non-registrants
with aid from the school.
Students at Northwestern have called a
rally to protest the severing of aid for 1
p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 15 at the Rebecca
Crown Center, 633 Clark St., Evanston.
The protest was initiated by North-western's
Progressive Student Coalition
and Peace Project.
Yale University, Earlham College and
Loyola University have already taken
public stands against this regulation and
Yale University has vowed to replace any
federal aid cut off to non-registrants.
The discriminatory nature of the bill is
one reason for opposition. Many students
find the constitutionality of the policy
questionable because it denies the con-stitutional
right of due process of law.

Progressive Student Coalition at (312) 492-

North Park adopts
Von Steuben
North Park College has "adopted"
neighboring Von Steuben High School
under Chicago Schools Supt. Ruth B.
Love's Adopt-a-School Program.
Von Steuben, on N. Kimball south of
Foster, adjoins North Park on the west. It
recently was designated Chicago's
Metropolitan High School for the Sciences,
one of the city's new magnet schools.
North Park and Von Steuben plan an,
exchange of assistance that will be of
mutual benefit to the students of both,
especially in the area of science. Staff
members from the schools have met to
discuss ideas.
Resources that North Park expects to
make available to Von Steuben students
and faculty include:
Advisers for science projects, library
facilities, assistance in planning new
science laboratories, speakers, and
selected course offerings available to Von
Steuben students on a credit basis.
Von Steuben provides student teaching
and teacher aid experiences for North
Park education students. Staff members
also are looking into providing audience
situations for North Park performing
groups.
Officials of both schools said they are
excited by the potential for increased
educational opportunities for their
students. The program is being coor-dinated
by Dr. Quentin D. Nelson, vice
president and dean of North Park College,
and Phyllis Wockner, assistant principal
of Von Steuben.

Vise tightens on CCIW race
North Park loses to Augie & Millikin
by Brian Wapole
North Park lost two games last week;
68-57 to Millikin on Feb. 8 and 73-68 to
Augustana on Feb. 12. North Park has also
lost three out of their last four games. Yet
despite this late season slump, North Park
is in the conference race up to its neck. But
one more chop to the neck like the
Augustana game, and it is curtains for the
Vikings' CCIW title hopes.
There are reasons why certain teams
develop rivalries with others. It could be
that the two teams are perennial winners.
It could be that they compete for the same
players in the recruitment wars, or it
could be that no matter what the two
teams have accomplished during the
season their battle is always the most
exciting, hotly contested and dramatic of
the year (as in Augustana and North Park
in basketball.) This year's struggle lived
up to the legend and added its own
chapter.
The game started out disastrously for
North Park and then after Coach Dan
McCarrell called a timeout at 9:53 into the
first half with the score 21-10 Augie, things
got worse. The Rock Island Vikings'
center George Wenzel and forward Dave
Anderson ripped the Chicago Vikings'
backcourt for eight more points while
holding North Park to one basket. With
8:44 to go in the game the score stood at 29-
12 and the contest had all the earmarks of
a rout. Augustana owned the boards
throughout the first half and Wenzel was
able to slip inside to score several big tip-ins.
Guard Marc Finch and forward Dave
Anderson, who led all scorers with 26,
frustrated North Parks' zone with deadly
long range shooting and Augie's transition
game caught North Park off guard a
couple of times.
North Park regained their composure
and played a solid final 8 minutes to go
into halftime down 43-29. The second half
was all North Park as the spirit of Augie
games past descended on the gym. For-ward
Justyne Monegain and Fred Kruse,
held in check during the first half, rose to
the formidable occasion. Slowly, Park
began whittling away at Augie's lead. The
tension in the air started building to a
point where every play was doubled in
importance. Augustana began to feel the
effects of the pressure cooker as their
earlier impregnable defense began to
break down. North Park outscored Augie
18-8 in the first 7:11 of the second half,
narrowing the gap to 51-47. With 7:45 to
play the score was knotted for the first
time at 53. The tide had definitely turned
to Park's favor, but Augustana refused to
fold; they returned to their iron-tight
defense of the first half, and the lead
changed hands 9 times to the end. In the
NI
DPalmquist

career points, placing him 12th on the all-time North Park scoring list. He is also sixth on
the career rebound list, having just passed Al May.
last 31 seconds, Augustana went to the
free-throw line four times, shooting 8 for 8,
Anderson and Bob Vincent doing most of
the damage. Also, for some reason, North
Park could not figure out Augies' inbounds
play. Augustana scored 3 key 2nd half
baskets off an inbounds pass. Point guard
Mike Gordon almost pulled the game out
for the second year in a row, taking it upon
himself to score N.P.'s last 6 points after
Kruse fouled out with a minute to go.
There were too many clutch plays to list
them here; Augustana's free-throw
shooting stands out among them. Mark
Pytel and Adam Lazich both made
spectacular shots in the final pressure-packed
minutes, coolness not often en-dowed
to sophomores, Gordon, Schultz,
and Monegain, all veterans, behaved like
veterans thrugh the whole epic struggle;
Crippled wrestling
team struggling
Injuries continue to haunt the North
Park College wrestling team as head
coach Tony Quinn lost his third wrestler in
two weeks to a disabling, season-ending
injury. First George Filley suffered an
arm injury, Chris Baer a neck injury and
now Al Takata, wrestling in his first
match of the season (because of knee
surgery) dislocated his shoulder and is out
for the year.
On Wednesday, January 26, the Vikings
wrestled a tough Chicago State team. Tom
Scholle wrestled well for two periods, and
was only behind 2-4, when things fell apart
in the third period. Keith Sadie was beaten
by the national junior college champion
last year. Mark Erickson lost 12 to 0, and
Al Takata dislocated his shoulder.
On Saturday, Jan. 29, the Vikings
wrestled at Illinois Wesleyan. Tom Scholle
won two matches, one at 118 and an
exhibition at 126. Mark Erickson wrestled
two good matches, but lost. Keith Sadie.
was beaten by a Carthage wrestler at 156
pounds.
however, Kruse was the man with the hot
hand when he was needed most. Any other
time North Park would have broken the
opposition's spirit after erasing so large a
lead, but Augustana is a freight train now,
winning 7 in a row. Looking at the game
rationally, it was just another Augustana-
North Park get-together, nothing
unusual.. .1 can't wait till next year.
The Wednesday before the Augie game,
North Park traveled to Millikin where
they absorbed their third loss of the CCIW
season and the seventh in a row to the Big
Blue, 68-57.
Coach Dan McCarrell must have felt
like he was the protagonist in a recurring
nightmare considering the similarities of
the two Millikin games. In the first game,
Park held a four-point halftime lead and
then was clobbered in the second half. In
Decatur, the Vikings held a five-point at
the half, eventually succumbing by 11
points.
North Park remembered Millikin's
visit all too vividly, and would not let
themselves be blown out. For about 12
minutes, the Vikings played the Big Blue
straight up, and then in one five minute
stretch, were outscored 17-2. Once again,
Millikin guard Eddie Taylor twisted the
dagger in, leading all scorers with 21.
Fred Kruse scored 16 points and Schultz
scored 17, 14 in the first half to lead
the Vikings. (It was erroneously reported
in last week's College News that Kruse
passed alum Dale Peterson to be the tenth
all-time North Park scorer in this game.
He was in fact 2 points shy with 1038.
Kruse passed Peterson during the Augie
game). Once again, North Park could not
withstand the explosive power that the
Millikin offense packs. But that doesn't
necessarily make Millikin North Park's
cut-and-dried superior, for on the same
night that Park was staging its annual
epic with Augustana, Millikin was losing
to Elmhurst, making it the second time
this year that Millikin lost as the front-running
team. Only in the CCIW could a
team have 4 losses with 3 games to play
and still be a serious threat to walk away
with the title, which North Park is...that
is, if we don't lose another game. The
wacky thing is that it is not far-fetched to
have four teams tied at the end of the
season with 11-5 records.
Tomorrow North Park travels to
Bloomington, Ill. to play the Titans of Ill.
Wesleyan, who supplied the second-most
exciting evening of the year for North
Parkers with their thrilling OT loss to the
Vikings. This game is arguably the
toughest game of the year for North Park.
Park has won a grand total of 3 times in 20
years in Bloomington. A must game for
both teams, doubly so for North Park if
they lose to North Central two nights
earlier. Tip off is 7:30. North Park hosts
Carroll on Thursday. It will be the last
home appearance for seniors Tim
Gustafson, Fred Kruse, Jim Sabal, Jim
Schultz, and George Touras.
