For the past two weeks Seminary

been gathering more courage for the
inevitable moment when they must

publish newspapers. yearbooks, and of Chicago, has been chosen as the
magazines.
Although the COLLEGE NEWS
has been a member of this organiza-tion
for a number of years. this is the
first time the publication has been
represented at the association's year-ly
convention. North Park's two rep-resentatives
were Carl Philip Ander-son,
editor of the college paper, and
E. Gustav Johnson, adviser for the va-rious
publications of the college.
Beginning in 1925 with a group of
300 students and faculty members,
most of whom were from schools in
or near New York City, the conven-thin
has attracted a greater number
of editors and advisers each year. Its
rapid grewth and great popularity are
sufficient evidence of its importance
In the field of school journalism to-day.
The convention program was divid-ed
into general assemblies, at which
well-known editors and correspondents
were the speakers, and informal
round table discussions concerning
particular problems if newspaper
work.
Lester Markel, Sunday editor of the
New York Times, addressed the con-vention
at Its initial session. In his
talk he outlined eight characteristics
which must identify a successful re-porter,
four of which are inherited
and the rest acquired; these are es-sential
requirements, for there is no
royal road to journalism. The inher-ited
qualifications include an unmis-takable
"Itch" for newspaper work, a
"nose" for news, a passion for accu-racy,
and interpretative ability. Ac-quired
characteristics are education,
background, ability to distinguish be-tween
news and opinion, and the abil-ity
to write. A reporter must com-bine
all these characteristics before
lie has any claim to the distinction of
it successful newspaper man.
Mr. Markel distinguished the mod-ern
newspaper from those of the past
as a chronicler and interpreter of the
news. He stated further that until all
newspapers determine to fill this need
through presenting: only the facts and

eight contests, six favorable decisions
gladden the eye, leaving the two

disguise them.
While it can't be denied that these
two reverses throw a dark cloud over
the championship nimbus, all is not
yet lost, as the melodrama's dashing
hero is wont to say. One more meet
remains to be fought out, and if it Is
true that North Park might sweep
both ends of that debate, it is equally
true that the leading contender—
which at last report was Joliet--
might swallow a double pill of bitter
defeat. If things turn out that way.
N. P. will at least tie for first place,
ready for the championship play-off.

will take place at 7:30 p. ng, and the

has found it possible to meet the difficulties of

quite successfully. and without to() greatly

loyal alumni of the college have once again
decided to pass the hat for their Alma Mater: for
they too are eager to see North Park make its
way toward the top as a leader in the field of
junior colleges. Already it is the third largest
private school of its kind in the Crated States.
The alumni. therefore, who are to be found in
all parts of the eountry. from coast to coast, have
pledged themselves to the definite task its the

North Park alumni have ever been active in
the support of the college. In 1915 their nsisoeia-tion
voted $5,000 toward the building of the pre4-

for the initiation of another drive for an endow-ment
fund, which ultimately reached nearly a
half million dollars. While this later project was
earried out by the Covenant, it began with the

MARCH 23, 1936
Baseball Team
Starts Outdoor
Training Soon
Although frosty mornngs are still
the ordrr of the day and Robin Red-breast
has not yet made his yearly
debut into Northern society, the base-ball
season is being introduced with
the customary enthuslaani. And al-though
everyone is already watching
the dailies for the latest dope on the
big league teams and the so-called
"hold-out stars." it is not unusual
that North Porkers are more inter-sted
in what is going on in their own
back yard.
On several afternoons of each week, ,
the gym is crowded with fellows who
are obt lously more concerned with
playing baseball with the Vikings
than they are with the European sit
uation or, anything else. It was not
long ago that Coach Youngquist Is-sued
the call for candidates, and at
the time of writing the squad num-bers
about thirty, with more coming
out each day. Since only four men
are returning front last season's
squad, the competition for the various
positions promises to be keen.
The workouts of the first few ses-sions
were limited to calisthenics and
limbering-up exercises, but the more
technical points of the great American
game of baseball are now being con-sidered.
Bunting practice. made pos-sible
by the stringing up of back-stop
nets in the gym, will undoubtedly
give the home team a heath start on
many of its competitors. who must
wait with that part of their training
until warmer weather permits out-door
practice.
One veteran. 1.1nder, is out for the
pitcher's box again this year; his ri-tals
for that position include Smith.
Marshall, Johnson, Rosenbloom, Peter-son,
Meyer and Sacknison. It is pos-sible
that one of the latter two may
be converted into a catcher, however.
Thus far. Captain Walt Nrwman is
the only man qualified to fill the
backstop spot, and the need of an-other
is urgent; Woynovitch, who al-ternated
at the shortstop position and
the receiving end last season, will
perhaps Me service behind the plate.
Behrens is the only infield vet, and
it will take a good man to oust him
from his spot at the initial sack.
Brown. Gray, Grulack. and Stenicil
are going to try their best to do so,
however. Other candidates for infield
positions ar. Anderson. Jebstrow. Eng-lish
(not Woody). and Hardt. The
greensward remains the most attrac-tive
location with the majority of the
boys, however, and the candidates for
the garden positions are the most
numerous. Aspiring fly-chast- rs in-clude
Bengtson. Regal'. Danielson,
Benny, E. Anderson, Butt Anderson.
Brown. and Fernandez.
The team will soon begin outdoor
practice, and it will be possible to
predict more accurately then just how
the team will take shape.. The season
schedule Is to be found elsewhere on

GIRLS SPORTS
Now that spring Is with us ono
more a renewed interest itt being tak
en In athletics. The W. A. A. held a
nieeting In G2 last Monday. and front
it came many important results.
A much needed election was spon-sored,
the outcome of which was as
follows: Grace Dittmer, of basketball
fame, was voted the new secretary-treasurer;
Jane Nyren became Isaac.
ball manager; Dagmar Johnson is
soon to undertake her responsibilities
as tennis ntanager; anti all swimmers
will now report thrir points to Marie
Nymen. who was elected to take over
joint control of the switunting project,
along with Margaret ItAgge.
The group discussed the probability
of a point system to Include activiti - s
which North Park does not offer, such
as bowling and archery. The Board
it: to tlecide on these suggestions.
Min. Toren read an invitation to
the girls. rxtentled by Morton Junior
College. to a Play Day on Saturday.
March 28, 11+36. Those who have at-tended
Play Days in the past can
\ Midi for a good tint,. Mrs. Toren ex-pressed
the hope that North Park will
have a large r - presentation at the
conference.
This is the weather for skating,
riding, and hiking, and a good time
for an effort to be made toward the
itttainment of an N. P. letter; so take
advantag. of it, girls; let's keep our
managers busy adding up points!
The Student Speaks
North Park again has I ttenty or
thirty men who promise to make up
one of the finest track teams in the
N. I. J. C. conference. The men have
lettn earnestly training for two weeks.
and already it is evident that fine re-sults
can tie expected. Training and
men are not all that make up a track
team, 110WOVP1'. The tam must have
equipment, something which our team
has been sadly lacking tor "tome sea-sons.
Perhaps of greater importance,
though, Is student and faculty inter-est
in the team. This interest can be
shown by attendance at the meets
whenever possible, by rncouraging
words to the participants and cooper-ation
with the team as a whole. With
this help I see no reason why North
Park cannot chalk tip some real rec-ords
this season. Get behind your
team. Show your true North Park
spirit by supporting title significant
athletic enterprise.

This week we have so much to say
about one person that we decided to
head all of the material "Stuff About
a Person You Know" and make the
idea more or less permanent. If you
like it well enough, it will continue
making an appearance. Of course, dif-ferent
victims will be selected each
time. Dip.

a pair of travel notes. Cord Hogberg

STUFF ABOUT .1 PERSON
YOU KNOW —
Here's the stuff about a person you
know. Who? None other than the bril-liant
character, Harold Sandblom. I
might add that all printed here is
truth, backed up by reliable witnesses,
and admitted by our own "Copen-hagen"
. . Wrapped up in a discus-sion
about some of Chicago's larger
buildings, Sandy asked what cheese
company it was that built the Lind-bergh
Beacon. Furthermore, he in-sisted
that lie saw it while visiting
a cheese factory . . Later, the same
(lily, the conversation shifted to the
wide open plains of our western sec-tion.
Out of a clear sky, in his most
earnest mond, he asked, "Say, feting.
do you call girl cowboys cowesses?"
.• . Harold's ambition for further
education are summed up An the
quoted words: "Oh. I'd just love to
gr. to Purdue." ... In closing, mention
ehould be made of Sandy's love for
animals, his splendidly harmonizing
alto voice, and his earnest wish to
learn something new every day.

I Symphony Agency
Proves Popular
Ticket sales for the popular con-certs
of the Chicago Symphony Or-chestra
are reported to be highly suc-cessful
by the college office. A North
Park ticket agency for that group was
established last fall because of the
great demand for such facilities by a
large number of students.
Tickets are received by the campus
agency two weeks in advance of each
Saturday evening concert. They re-main
on sale for one week, after
which all unsold tickets must be re-turned
to Orchestra Hall because of
the great demands made on its ticket
office by music lovers of Chicago. The
opportunity to obtain tickets in ad-vance
of their sale by the downtown
office is a special privilege extended
to groups where a large number of
tickets are required for each concert.
The next popular concert by Chica-go's
renowned orchestra will be pre-sented
on Saturday evening, April 4.
Tickets for this two and a half hours
of excellent musical entertainment
will be on sale all this week in the
college office. They may be purchased
for 25, 35, or 60 cents. Take advantage
of these low pnices for the best that
Chicago has to offer in music.

RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Religious activities have been very
I well attended In the past two weeks.
Student participation has been in-creased
and a new and fresher zeal
has been noticed. Out fellowship
services of March 16 showed this a-wakened
interest. Those who attended
will remember the fine spirit which
filled the meeting. Herbert Sunden
conducted the singing and led the
service. Harold Eklund gave a talk
on Christian devotions.
On the evening of March 18 the Stu-dent
Volunteers held a meeting at Car-oline
Hall Harold Swanson, acting
president, led the service. A question
of some importance was discussed,
namely: Should the Student Volun-teer
organization merge with the re-latively
new Christian Youth move-ment?
After an open discussion it was
decided that this particular chapter
would oppose such a union.
Demenudi Banquet
at Admiral Hotel 1905.
A group of North Parkers assembled
at the Grand Crossing Covenant
Church, March 15. Earl Dahlstrom
and William Hultman were the speak-ers.
The men's quartette, Esther An-derson,
and LaVerne Gustafson pro-vided
the musical program.
On the 22nd a group of some fifteen
students and faculty members return-ed
from a student gathering held in
Paxton, Ill. Jean Hagstrum, Eldon
Palmquist, and Aaron Markuson
spoke. Another student meeting will
be held March 29 at the Maplewood
Covenant Chutch.
An announcement is to be made
in regard to the fellowship services.
It has been decided to change the time
of meeting from Monday to Tuesday
evening at 6:45, continuing until 7:45.
Chapel speakers in the past week
hare been Dr. Philip Yarrow, social
worker and head of the Vigilante Com-mittee
of Chicago, and the Reverend
Axel Bergstedt of Brocton, Mass., who
is an alumnus of North Park, class of
on 1Wed., liviar. 25 :
For the past month committees under
the general chairmanship of Herbert
Shannon have ben working hard on
planning one of the finest Demenudi
banquets in the history of North
Park college. The banquet will be held
at the Admiral Hotel on March 25.
The program committee has obtained
Dr. Rudolph Oden, M. D., of the Aug-ustana
hospital, as the speaker of the
evening. Two student speakers have
prepared a novel talk which promises
to entertain all those so lucky as to
attend; a novel skit is in preparation.
All of these things, together with
special music, will be the main tea
tures of the evening. Reservations are
coming in fast. If you have not yet
procured your ticket, see Phyllis
Viiet. Senior Academy students who
are prospective members of Demen-udi
are invited.

Spring has sprung, and Dan Cupid
should be next. He was seen the othei
day testing his bow and making sOille
new arrows. You should have seen
the chips fly as he busily labored in
the flint which he was fashioning in
to arrow heads. He must make every
arrow count, so watch your step lads
and lassies if you do not want to be
one of his victims. He has already
started working on some of the dorm
fellows.
The girls of Caroline Hall lone
again proved themselves to be won-derful
hostesses. On Saturday night,
March 14, the young ladies sponsored
a delightful St. Patrick's Day party,
and the fellows of Dormville were the
guests. And did we have a good time!
Some of the gals made after dinner
speeches — only they were made after
coffee — and did they ever tell us
what to do, what not to do, how to
do it, and how not to do it — you
know, just good old fashioned advice:
but some of it wasn't mo hot, we
- thought.
Thanks, girls, for the etening; we
sure had a good time and are ready
for another party wheneNer you like!
The sooner the quicker.
Well, boys, if you feel some poetry
coming on, don't be reckless in what
you write: the lady friend might mis-interpret
it — and then you will he
In for it. In fact, the girls should write
the poetry this spring since it is
1936. It would give the fellows a Komi
chance to get out of the poet-tree for
once!
