people surveyed recognized that there is
no way to prevent cancer. The remain-ing
results are listed to the right. See the
Opinions Section for more information.

Hispanic Heribage
Monbh Ends
Sarah Perry
Campus News Editor
During September and October La-tinos
across Chicago have been cel-ebrating
their heritage. Hispanic Heri-tage
Month has been celebrated at NPU
in many ways. The kick-off lunch was a
huge success, as were the Spanish Dance
Theater and the Fiesta Latina, an annual
student dance sponsored by LASO and
the Center for Latino Studies. More re-cently,
North Park President Dr. David
Parkyn and his wife, Dr. Linda Parkyn,
met with students to discuss their expe-riences
in Latin America and with Lati-no
culture. Last night Musica Mexicana
took place. This event, sponsored by the
Center for Latino Studies along with
LASO, was an enjoyable concert of Mex-ican
Music. Hispanic Heritage Month
concludes on October 15th. NPU's final
salutation of the cultural celebration will
be Friday, October 13th from 6:30 to
9:00 PM. Costs are $5 for students, $10
for faculty and staff, and $15 for the gen-eral
public. The dinner and performance
will be held in Hamming Hall. For more

World Shocked ab Qrammabical Lunar Discovery
NatFondell
World/Local News Editor Astronaut Neil Armstrong, famous
for being the first one down the
ladder, may not have said his famous
moon landing statement exactly as
American schoolchildren have always
been told.
Peter Ford, an Australian computer
programmer, discovered an extra
article in NASA's 1969 lunar landing
transmissions, using software that reads
nerve impulses and communicates
them through computers. According
to Ford, Armstrong actually said "One
small step for [a] man..."rather than the
historically popular, "One small step for
man, one giant leap for mankind."
This discovery entitles English and
grammar teachers to a massive "I told
you so." The academic community has
heckled Armstrong for years, saying that
he should have included an "a" in his
famous quote, for as it currently stands
in the history books, Armstrong literally
Popular conception of Neil Armstrong's
1969 lunar landing.
said, "One small step for mankind,
one giant leap for mankind." This has
neither the flow nor the eloquence that
the American people demand of their
moon landing statements.

World/Local News Editor North Park has announced its list of
people and organizations that it will
be partnering with this year, including
schools, orphanages and missionary
centers in Chile, New Orleans, Thailand,
Appalachia, Bolivia, Mexico, Russia and
Zambia.
If you're interested in meeting people
from around the world, being completely
immersed in their culture, and loving
them, your time at North Park gives you
a fantastic opportunity to do this with the
support of your family and friends, under
the leadership of your fellow students.
For those interested in getting more
information about any of these trips,
there will be a Global Missions Expo
in Hamming Hall on Sunday, October
15th at 9:30, immediately following
College Life. There will be tables set up
for each of the trips with information
and a chance to speak with the student

Don'b Drink Drugs!
Mark Roosien
StaffWriter
New York lawmakers have denounced,
angrily, the new energy drink, "Co-caine,"
saying that it glamorizes and pro-motes
drug use.
Controversial Marketing?
"Either you are woefully ignorant of
the horrors of cocaine addiction, or your
god is the dollar biH and not even human
life is more sacred," says Councilman James
Sanders, Jr. of Queens.
Sanders' poignant words are seemingly
not enough to deter the makers of Cocaine.
As their website flaunts: "Call us provoca-tive-
OK we know that. Call us irreverent-
Always have been. Call us radical- Know
Armstrong has argued for years that
he intended to say "step for a man," and
that indeed he did say it that way while
on the moon, despite the transmission
that was received by mission control.
Armstrong's reaction to finally
being vindicated? In a recent statement
he said, "I also find his conclusion
persuasive. Persuasive is the appropriate
word."

Farewell bo Zephyrs

Pulse Editor
On October 29th, Zephyrs will
close its doors forever to Chicago
and North Parkers. A thirty year old
landmark establishment, this ice cream
shop/diner will soon be only a fond
memory. North Park has been a huge
part of making Zephyrs what it is and
Zephyrs has become as deeply rooted
in North Park mythology and tradition
as Old Main. Their famous 64 ounce
shakes have produced marathon after
marathon, challenging the grit of many
a North Parker. Its longevity has added
to its power, so how does a thirty year
old restaurant suddenly close down?
Many rumors have circulated about
the reasons behind Zephyrs surprising

that the owner is on his/her death bed.
As melodramatic as that sounds, we are
glad to say that it isn't true. Rosemary,
the manager of Zephyrs, explained that

Chuck Klosterman. Klosterman has
written articles for Spin, GQ, ESPN,
and also has written his own books,
including Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs:
A Low Culture Manifesto, and Killing

Klosterman combines his gift of telling
personal stories and theories, revealing
music history, and commenting on our

manner. I attended Chuck's reading at
Borders on Tuesday, September 19th,
where he read excerpts from his new

remain optimistic, however,

to find another location and
open Zephyrs again, hopefully
in the area. "It is hard to
move a landmark," Rosemary
explained, "But maybe, if we get
enough interest." So, North Parkers,

e PRESS FEATURE REPORT e
The 2006 Dorm Awards Stephen Reimers
Feature Reporter
Stereotypes are a bad thing. They
unfairly generalize a group of
people into a category without con-sidering
the individual. This being
said, I apologize when I state that
guys are a bunch of slobs. Serious-ly.
I visited over a hundred different
dorm rooms last week and over and
over again my generalization proved
itself true. For example, in Ander-son
and Ohlson the phrase, "Oh, my
room's a mess!" really means, "Dear
me, my bed isn't made and I left my
sweater on the floor." This same
phrase uttered in Burgh or Sohlberg
is better translated as, "#$%*!, mold
is growing on something under my
bed did I do laundry this month?"
Moving past this harsh reality, I must
say that there are quite a few really
unique dorm rooms in each of the
four dorm halls. Naturally not every
one can be mentioned, but I want to
thank all who participated.
- Anderson -
My first exhibit is the marriage style
bed set-up seen in both Britta and Nina's
room of 805 and Amy and Hannah's
room of 810. This space saving, comfort
phenomenon hasn't yet caught on in the
male dormitories yet, though trends have
been known to change.
Winning the award of best use of
lofts is Jaryn and Rachel of room 709.
Both beds are hung by chains to a wood-en
support that takes up very little room,
allowing more living space.
Honorable mentions in Anderson
include Alethea of room 703 for good use
of cloth to decorate the ceiling, Ruthie of
room 520 for great use of space and col-ors,
and Sharon and Emily of room 311
for style and nice use of photographs in
decorating.
- Burgh -
My congratulations to Zach and
Mark of room 328 for having one of the
messiest rooms (see front cover). You
guys are an inspiration for all of us other
guys just hoping to some day reach such
beautiful levels of insanitation.
Brent and Jason of room 221 by far
and large have the best room centerpiece,
a fireplace. Rumor has it that this fire-place
once belonged to academic dean
Charles Peterson back when he was liv-ing
in Burgh as a student.
Honorable mentions for Burgh go
out to Brad and Brett of room 403 and
Paul of room 325 for a good set-up, to
Chris of room 412 for the best self-made
table, and to Todd and Thomas of room
305 for the best toy collection.
- Ohlson -
In Ohlson, Chelsea and Han-nah's
"The Party Room," room 222,
wins the most clean and welcoming
award. The set up is simple but the
decoration is fitting and nice.
Honorable mentions for Ohlson
include Stephanie and Emily of room
318 for the best smelling dorm room,
to Chasity and Pamela of room 116
for the classy use of black and white
in their decorating, and to Melissa
and Kellynne for an interesting use
of polka dots as wall decoration.
- Sohlberg -
Joel Schuman of room 202 creatively
drew a large recreation of Michelangelo's
The Creation of Adam and taped it to the
ceiling of his room to almost replicate
the Sistine Chapel. Almost.
The best wake up system award goes
to Joe of room 212, who uses a picture of
President David Parkyn and a threaten-ing
note to rouse himself in the morn-ing-
Honorable mention goes to Jon and
Calvin of room 215 for the most mind
boggling posters***, and to Mason of
room 214 for the worst smelling dorm
room. Sorry Mason.
Sohlberg also happens to house the
best overall dorm. This award goes to
Kyle Green of room 208. This originally
three person room now has Kyle as its
only resident. Kyle has built a boxed loft
that holds his electronics underneath
and his bed above. This leaves him with
ample space to entertain with and he has
done an excellent job of not making it
feel empty either. Good job Kyle!
*** Opposing opinion: '"Those posters are unwholesome.
They distort reality and corrupt the souls of viewers. "
-Matthew Kemp on Jon and Calvin's poster collec-tion.
More Discipline
Brett Botts
Sports Editor
This past week, America has once
again experienced a rash of school
shootings. Some wrongly blame it on
the bullies, the teasing, and the hazing
going on at school. I am not here to
deny that those terrible things exist,
and I am also not denying the some-times
extreme negative impact that it
has on the victims. We all know what
middle school is like. But I do not think
that leaving it here is the answer.
I propose that a main reason for
these crimes is the result of a lack of
authoritative discipline. Kids today do
not go to school with a general respect
for their teachers or elders. They have
been taught that the law protects them
from sometimes necessary discipline.
As for the one guilty of these
crimes, our society shows signs, wheth-er
intentionally or not, of remorse for
them. This only fuels the kid's lack of
fear for consequences.
As we have seen these past few
days, there are extreme cases, such as
the 32-year-old who decided to "set-tle
an old score" at a one-room Amish
school house.
Too often the media and other
sources of public influence are quick to
condemn the dead bully who hazed the
shooter, rather than the kid who ter-rorized
the school. When is the con-demning
of uncontrolled rage going to
begin? Re-enforced reminders of con-sequences
for actions at home, school,
and other activities are the answers.

October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. I researched
the topic and found some information
On the official website of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention at
www.cdc.gov. Breast cancer is the lead-ing
cause of cancer in American wom-en,
and affects approximately 181,646
women and 1,826 men each year. My

cancer survivor, and fortunately at 74
years old is still going strong.
I encourage NPU students, faculty,
and staff to get involved and help sup-port
the battle against breast cancer.
As seen in the North Park Poll, nearly
50% of North Park affiliates have had
their lives touched by breast cancer.
To help out, you can donate money

A Day bo Remember ab Wrigley
Brett Botts
Sports Editor
On Wednesday, September 27th,
the Chicago Cubs organization
hosted "College Media Day". Each
college newspaper and radio station
in Chicago was invited to send one
member of its staff to Wrigley to enjoy
a day in the life of a sports journalist.
Fortunately for me, as you will soon
find out, I was blessed with the
opportunity to represent North Park
at this unforgettable event.
Led by Katelyn Thrall, the Cubs
Media Services Coordinator, we were
first shown onto the field, where
some players were taking batting
practice and where Mark Prior, who
has been somewhat incognito this
year, was throwing. After explaining
to us what a typical day was like for
a journalist covering baseball, closer
Ryan Dempster walks up and basically
tells us that he wants to be interviewed.
At first I felt a combination of surprise
and excitement. Not to take anything
away from that moment, but later
I remembered that Mr. Dempster
loves the media. Whatever, it was still
awesome asking him how he goes
about trying to stop sucking.
After Dempster was dismissed by
our host, we were soon led into what
is known at Wrigley Field as "the
dungeon". I thought to myself "Aren't
we are already in a...?"Okay, I went
there, but I'll stop. "The dungeon" is
the media room, or where players and
coaches (mostly the manager) are
interviewed and hold press conferences.
It is called "the dungeon" for a reason.
The room is a little hole in the wall
across the hall, and a narrow hall at
that, from where palletized fertilizer
for the field is sitting.
Okay, enough Wrigley Field
bashing. After finishing up in "the
dungeon", where as a group we had the
pleasure of standing right next to some
well-known members of the media (I
was standing next to ESPN's Bruce
Levine) asking Dusty Baker questions
about his team's performance and the
like, we were led upstairs to the press
box. The view was tetter on the field,
but being in the box with other media
members and getting up-to-date news
and stats from around the sports world
was almost enough to make a sports
fanatic weep.
From my time on the field, to
my education of "the dungeon", to
exchanging greetings with Ron Santo,
to conversing with Bob Uecker, to
watching the Cubs, win 3-2 after
trailing 2-1 going into the bottom
of the ninth, a person couldn't have
asked for a more eventful, exciting, and
overall wonderful day at the ballpark.
As a huge sports fan, I'm extremely
thankful that I had the chance to
participate in such an event.

It is evident, with only amateur
research required, that there are
multiple varsity sports squads at North
Park that the student body has no
idea exist. The majority of students at
North Park are likely at unawares that
there is a Vikings golf squad.The men's
and women's teams have respectively
had successful seasons in the CCIW.
The men's team finished fourth in
the CCIW tournament, strongly led
by the duo of Matt Lindahl and Peter
Johnson. Lindahl, who finished second
overall, shot a solid 149 two round
score. Senior Peter Johnson finished a
close third with a mark of 151. Illinois
Wesleyan claimed the conference with
Augustana and Millikin finishing
second and third.
While the men's team has put the
clubs into storage for the Winter, the
women Vikings are gearing up for
the CCIW Championships. This
weekend the team will be traveling
south to Bloomington to compete
in the conference tournament. High
hopes accompany the team south after
a successful showing at the Millikin
Classic this past weekend. The Lady
Vikes are navigated by standout
shooters Kim Aotkins and sophomore
Emily Germann.
North Park's Matt Lindahl. Lindahl
finished the season placing second
overall in the CCIW tournament,
shooting a two round score of 149.

manager, Joe Girardi, spoke up from
the dugout and told Loria (his boss)
to knock it off, saying, "I preach to

Furious, Loria left his seat. After the
game was over, Loria chewed Girardi
out in front of the players, which of
course wasn't taken well by Girardi.
After the event, Loria said the Mar-lins
were going to make a change af-ter

On Tuesday, Girardi was fired. Hours
later, Fredi Gonzalez was hired as the
fourth manager since Loria bought
the team in 2002. Good luck, man.
