Politicalai tit ty reaches its peal: at
North Park starting today. For weeks
the political parties have been organ-izing
for a final drive to publicize the
cause of their respective presidential
iandidates and parties. Today, they
open fire.
Republicans Start Campaign
Today, the Republican reeves are es-tablishing
political headquarters in
Old Main under the able chairman-ship
of Lorraine Larson. At the head-quarters
booth, propaganda, party

political developments. Soap box or-atory,
propaganda, and campaigning
in general will be conducted over the
entire campus. Snappy noon-hour ac-tivities

Straw Poll Plans
But the week's biggest event Is the
school wide Straw Poll which will be
held all day Friday. This is the first
straw poll ever to be officially con-ducted
at North Park. It will smash
all records here for recording stu-dent
political opinion rapidly and ef-ficiently.
As students leave the chapel, Fri

upon which are printed the names
of the following candidates and par-ties,
listed alphabetically by parties:
Earl Browder, Communist
Franklin Roosevelt, Democrat

Alfred Landon, Republican
Norman Thomas, Socialist
John W. Aiken, Socialist-Labor

Each voter will give a vote to one
candidate and deposit this ballot in

STUDENTS AND POLITICS
Time flies!
Only four short (-ars ago e it ire writhing in
the stranglehold of a great world-wide economie
depression.
Today- almost overnight—young Americans
have turned their backs to that dark episode.
They turn with expectancy to the challenge of a
national politieal campaign. Many, too, forget
even to consider the factors, at least politically,
which hastened the approach of that crisis in
1929 and 1930. They forget the unwillingness of
tIii' government to check wild speculation or to
curb the artivities of our "rugged individualists."
In 1912 those rugged intlividualists looked pretty
ragged indeed.
Perhaps, too, we fail to see that these conditions
are part of an inevitable evolution in social phi-losophy.
But liberal thought will predominate.
It is too late to get back to mother's knee. Times
have changed, and we must change with them.
As a North Park professor termed it last week
—"the great quadrenniel circus" has moved into
town. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Alfred M. Landon,
and Norman Thomas have delivered promises to
thousands of hoarse Chicagoans lining downtown
streets. The spirit is contagious. America is ready
for a whirlwind finish in this great campaign of
two more weeks.
But are we students going to observe more than
the superficial glamour of the spectacle. Can we
understand the deep underlying issues at stake?
Go collegians appreciate that America today
faces, perhaps, a erossroad in governmental phi-losophy?
Go we pierce through campaign hokum and
political bromides to scrutinize carefully the pro-grams
of these men who ask for the highest trust
America can offer!
Can we ascertain if these promises are honest
and reasonable, or palpably impossible of fulfill-ment,
either by sheer extravagance or foolish con-tradiction?
That, it seems, should be a good test of educa-tional
discipline anti personality. Without grand-iose
editoriolizing. we agree with leaders who
everywhere claim that ,if this country prospers, it
will be its college men and women who will blaze
trails of progress.
Ambitious? Hardly. Look at the status of stu-dents
in Great Britain. No English statesman
wishes—or dares—to overlook the political re-actions
of English universities. From college for-ensic
circles, moreover. Great Britain is selecting
the thinking students for the British Parlia-mentary
timber. In Great Britain. college stu-dents
have become articulate factors of a great
empire, and everybody knows it.

WHY I WO( 1.1) NOT VOTE FOR
ROOSEVELT
By Paul Gustafson
President itoose‘elt erred greatly in
his Judgment as to what the Triple
A would du for the farmer. This act
was passed so that he could pay the
farmer for reducing his acreage. The
tarmers were glad to get the cash but
old it help them in the long run? The
reduced acreage brought down pro-nuction
to a point where it was neces-sary
to import from foreign nations
much foodstuff. This meant money
was going out of the country. At the
same time the nation was bonded for
his payments to farmers. The nation
was poorer in two ways while it be-t-
ante richer in one.
But the farmer lost money on the
t at the sante time. The rise in
price of farm products with no pro-portional
rise in the laborer's wages
meant the cutting of Mr. Average
Man's purchasing power.

has sent us into an enormous

many years to come to high taxes if
any effort is made to pay it.
I am not a conservative Republican.
But I do believe that Mr. Roosevelt
sent at things too quickly. He did
not think things through thoroughly.
He tried to do too many good things
at once; consequently, they were not
as highly perfected as they might have
been had he been more deliberate in
his changes.

knowing all this, to me October is the mimic of
the world. In the years of plenty it is calm and

warm brown cloaks upon the barren fields.
But this year the trees on every hill are clusters
of abandoned barracks shelled into a sorry mess
of shambles, with gaping holes and ragged edges.
and a skeleton of boughs and branches showing
through their tattered greenery. The leaves, like
brown and ragged armies, are marshalled by the
wind to execute in pantomime the battles and the
carnage that is tearing up the world. Each blast
sweeps more of them across the fields in the in-comprehensible
and momentous games of war and
death—and finally sleep.
Yes, sleep will come to the restless armies. Per-haps
tonight, or the next, the clouds will loose
the first snow and all the ragged soldiers, the
quick and the dead, will be gone. No cross will
mark their grave. With no honors, not even taps,
they will lie still in their cold sanctuary, as still
as all the ragged soldiers at Chateau Thierry, at
Arlington, and around Madrid.
Next year they will be forgotten: nor will it
even be remembered that all of them, the con-quered

in this? College men and women! It is the think-ing,
intellectually courageous student who
marches at the lead of rioting citizens and pro-tests
at gouvernmental outrages.
Of course, we do not suggest that North Park-ers
launch a crusade of blood down prosaic Foster
Avenue, November 3. But it is certainly a good
idea for North Parlors to scrutinize the works
and programs of these claimants for public dis-tinction.
It is not too much to suggest that every-one
shall have one valid reason for displaying
the "sunflowers", "gallant leaders", or the red
and white of Norman Thomas. Then North l'ark
will truly be a college worthy of the name.
If that is true, North Park joins hundreds of
colleges throughout the United States who will
influenee America to vote intelligently in Novem-ber.
It will join in insisting that politicians put-up
or shut-up. It joins in promoting progressive
America, present and future.

Senior Class Formulates Plans
for Last Days at North Park
In the first graduating class session
last week, the group, called together
by temporary chairman Professor
‘Vallgren, decided to conduct this
year's election by balloting on candi-dates
selected by a special nomination
committee elected by the graduates.
Nominating Committee
The committee selected is composed of
Howard Lindquist, Donald Peterson,
Ted Anderson, Edith Colver, Walter
Toekelt, Roger Harper and June
Bracken. This committee was author-azed
to select candidates, appoint a
day of election, and supervise the ac-tual
casting of ballots,
After a two hour session last Thurs-day,
the committee placed twelve stu-dents
in nomination for official class
positions. Opposing each other for the
presidential run are Howard Lind
quiet, of Academy and College debate
fame, and John Anderson, football
star and former Covenant scholarship
man.
Four Co-eds Run
Two outstanding co-eds, Jane
Thoren and Doris Norberg will vie
for the office of vice-president. The
well-known college student, Edith Col-ter,
and Lillian Carlson, prominent
academy senior, will be the candidates
for the responsibilities of class secre-tary.
Another popular academy stu-dent,
Roger Harper, will be opposed
by Gordon Van Armen. scholarship
man of last year and a college soph-omore.
Cupola Candidates
From the numerous prospects con-sidered
by the committee, Warren
Van der Voort and Dan Mills, both col-lege
graduates, were selected to be
candidates for the large task of edit-ing
the Cupola. Two shrewd men of
business talents, Gordon Walker and
Robert Thonander, will be decided be-tween
for the business managership of
the annual.
It is to be noted that these choices
do not preclude the possibility of any
other candidates running for these of
flees. Since the class authorized these
committee members to act for them.
howeverk, it is expected that these
students will be supported by the
majority of the voters at the pills next
Friday.

Graduates of North Park are going
to complete their class organization
on Friday, October 23, when they bal-lot
for the men and women who are
going to direct the work of the gradu-ating
class this year. The balloting is
going to be conducted in the foyer of
the gymnasium from 9:00 in the
morning until the polls close promptly
at 4:00 p. m. the same day. All bone
fide graduating students of both the
college and the academy are entitled
to cast one vote for the offices of class
president, vice-president, secretary and
treasurer, In addition, the highly im-portant
positions of editor-in-chief and
business manager of the North Park
Cupola will be determined by student
tote.
Large Vote Expected
A record vote is expected this year,
as the election comes nearer, interest
is reaching fever pitch. The all-time
registration high will make this fur-ther
possible. Several factions are
well organized to execute political
strategeme in order to seat their per-sonal
candidates and campagning is
the order of the day. Petitions fot
candidates have been circulating
around the campus, thus assuring
every student in good standing the op-portunity
of being passed upon by his
class nominating committee last week.
Although class mates next Friday, all
that is necessary to place any other
student in the running is a minimum
scholastic record and signed support
of twenty-five graduates in petition
to the nominating committe. before 4
P. M. today.
Election Procedure
The polling procedure will be in
charge of the nominating committee,
who will prevent ballot-stuffing by
means of a certified check list and
assure smooth operation of the cam-paign.
The election manager expect
that over 200 votes will he cast during
the first few hours of voting. They
urge that all graduates turn out to
vote for their officers. Results will
be announced the same day, if com-plete
returns are made early in the
day.

New Year's day should rightfully
fall on the first of October. That, it
ever, Is the time of the year when we
are supposed to turn over a new leaf,
to make fine resolutions, to be indeed
a changed person. The youth of Amer-ica
turns back to school resolving to
make better grades and to be all
around better students. Along with
the falling leaves go our old school
habits as well as our departed Acads.
With the vigorousness of the fall
breozas, come new students bustling at
the opportunity to make good. Thus
we would like to make known some
of our new students—"HARPO."
The only lost sheep of the senior
flock is Robert Walliser, remember?
He has moved to Libertyville. This
seems to be give and take with
Libertyville, as Gordon "Snuffy"
Smith, a former resident of that town,
is now in the Academy. I hear you're
quite a poet "Snuffy," as well as a
basketball player. We can use your
prowess to good advantage on the gym
In the Academy, Norwood Park has
a goodly representation, with thirteen
sturdy students. Jack Post, one of
their number, spent a month of his
vacation at camp acting as Junior
Canoe Counselor,
Jane Keath returned to school for
a couple of weeks and left us again.
She is now in Texas helping her dad
recover from a bullet wound lie re-ceived
accidentally.
Those of you who do not walk the
straig-,', and narrow path. I advise to
make the acquaintance of a certain
freshman. Someday that friendship
may be to your advantage, for the
freshman referred to is Judge Schil-ler's
son. Also we hat e Dr. St, ombery,
Jr. with us, the school doctor's son.
Let me take the time and space to
congratulate the College girl cheer-leaders.
Don't look now, but they
happen to belong to the Academy.
Those girls are here again, Yeah, you
guessed them, the girls who have
aspirations of becoming equestriennes
or somethun.
Could somebody tell me who this
"Bim" person is? He seems to be in
the midst of all the girls' confer-ences.
In the rays of the morning sun
stood Jack Post and Herby rank dig-cursing
the gray subject of brains.
They finally catne to the very logical
conclusion that they didn't pease. any.

DORMVILLE FEATURES BATTLE
ROYAL
Friday Night, October 9, 1936
Led by the invincible Earl Erickson,
a handful of loyal and original soph-omores
declared that a condition of
war existed between the Freshmen
and the upper classmen. As their first
victim they chose the flowing locks of
Godfrey Lund. Spurred on by their
succeos and overconfident of further
ictories they lacked enough military
strategy to flee before the quickly
mobilizing freshman hordes. Making
up in numbers what they lacked in
Intelligence, the Freshmen carried the
battle into the enemies camp with the
following WI of casulties:
Tubbed—Carl Paul Anderson, Paul
Lundbcry, Bonnie Nate Pohl,
Manley l'oungbeig, and other soph-omores.
Tubbed Deluxe-General Earl Erick-son.
Black eye—Carl Swanson (Faint
traces, unconfirmed).
Infused with the spirit of mob ac-tion,
the Freebies opeued the follow-ing
week with an attack on the per-son
of 3ur innocent anti unsuspecting
editor, C. Donald Peterson. Sallying
forth from the stronghold of Room 15
to answer a strangely opportune
phone call, Don was overwhelmed by
no less than 150 Freebies (according
to our editor). Suggestions came thic-ker
than flies from the ranks—the
river, the puddle by the gym, a stroll
down Kedzie minus the trousers. And
then summoning their unsounded
depths of originality, they decided on
a haircut. Satisfied, and with the
tealp of the enemy distributed over
the campus, the freebies called it a
night, and the dorm settled down to
the mint peaceful monotony of dorm
life.

Second Defeat
In the that trat ,'Ung game of the
current football season, the Viking
gridiron squad was downed by Whea-ton
"B." in one of the most heated
battles of the year. Played last Satur-day
morning, October 17, the end of
the game found North Park on the
short end of an 8-0 score. The scoring
was the result of a touchdown and a
safety.
Numerous arguments and fights
provided the spectators with a morn-ing
of unsuspected happenings. Dar
Pond and Dahl bore the brunt of the
Viking attack, both fellows playing at
least three quarters of the entire bat-tle.
Carl Kellman and Manley Young-berg,
although injured in the early
stages of the game, were the only de-pendable
members of an otherwise
deeply disillusioned line.
Following is a quarter by quarter
account of the game:
First Quarter
Wheaton won the toss and chose to
receive. Kubitz kicked to the ten yard
line where the Wheaton quarterback
took the boot and ran it back to his
own 35. Unable to withstand a series
of line plunges, tae Viking team was
steadily pushed back into its own ter-ritory.
Following a series of punts,
which benefited North Park to a cer-tain
extent, the borne team lost the
ball on downs on N. P.'s twelve yard
line. Kubitz' kick was blocked and re-covered
by N. P. in the Viking end
zone for a safety. Wheaton !fad the
ball on their own 30 as the quarter
ended, SCORE: N. P. 0: WHE. 2.
Second Quarter
On the first play of the second per-iod,
N. P. blocked a kick and took pos-session
of the ball on the opponent's
thirty. Two line plays failed to make
headway and a fumble returned ball
to Wheaton. After carrying play into
Viking territory. Wheaton fumbled
and N. P. recovered. The rest of the
quarter was taken up by long distance
kicking and numerous fumbies. Nei-ther
team was able to make much
headway, with N. P.'s defense being
matched against Wheaton's offense.
Half ended with the score: N. P. 0;
WHE. 2,
Third Quarter
Hindered by injuries which con-fined
Kubitz. Rasmussen, and C. Kell-man
to the sidelines, North Park
found the making of any advance a
difficult and almost impossible thing.
Whcaton, on the other hand, appeared
to be satisfied with a 2 point margin
and failed to open up. However, near
the end of the quarter, N. P. began
playing the brand of ball which they
are known to have in them. Neither
squad was able to enter the scoring
zone of its opponents. SCORE: N. P.
0: WHE. 2.
Fourth Quarter
As the final period began, both
teams opened up with a loose defense
hut an intricate offense. Caught sleep-ing
on a long pass down the field. the
Vikings allowed a team to cross the
goal line for the first time this sea-son.
The attempt for conversion was
low and off to the side, With Pond on
the receiving end, N P. opened a bag
of tricks consisting of deceptive
posses, which brought the ball into
Wheaton territory, but the game ended
before they were able to cross the
goal line. FINAL SCORE: WHEATON
8: NORTH PARK 0.
Under the Showers
BY EUGENE GRAFT
It's too bad that the North Park swimming team wasn't organized
last week, because if it were the Morton football game would never
have been postponed . . . But then again, six inches of water is too
much for the gridiron squad and not enough for the Viking splashers
... Le Roy Johnson, freshman student from Denver, Colorado, has con-sented
to coach the swimmers in an effort to produce a squad fine
enough to represent this school in inter-school competition. . . How-ever,
students proficient in this sport must come out for the team
in order to have a well-balanced squad. . . As an added incentive, if
one is necessary, athletic letters will be issued at the end of the season,
provided that the team competes against other schools. . .
"Butch" Kubitz, formerly of Roo-sevelt
where he made quite a name
for himself on the gridiron, is cap-tain
of the Viking football squad
and co-captain of the basketball
team. . . He is known around here
as the "All-American athlete and
lover". . . Bob Kellman has prom-ised
this scribe one dollar if a date
with"Ginger" Morton is arranged
"Tony" Torriero . . Your writer will go one better
and raise the ante to two dollars
for the same service. . . The abovementioned "Butch" has placed some
of his jewelry in cold storage—if you consider giving a ring to Jayne
Tuveson cold storage. . . We have been informed that Dar Pond is con-templating
a trip to Oregon next summer to renew his acquaintance-ship
with a cutie name Lee (?-?-?) who thinks that football players
are "simply duckie". . . Whoops, my dear! . . .
C. Kellman Stars in Sports
Carl Reitman has an opportunity to finish two years at North
Park with a record of having won eight athletic letters. . . Possessing
three, Carl will probably earn five more, one in each of the following:
basketball, football, golf, track, and swimming What, no ping pong?
"Dutch," 'The man with the ancient lid' Sternaman was captain of the
Illinois football team "way back when . . "Bibbs" Anderson was also
elected head of an Illini athletic squad, when he captained the Down-state
soccer team not so many years ago. . . Several Viking teams have
been strengthened by the addition of freshman athletes who were star
high school players back home. . . Bill Rowell. who hails from Potts-ville,
Penn., is already a member of the football squad, as are Bob Mich-elson
and Elmer Anderson, the former coming from Moline, Ill., and the
other from our neighboring suburb. Evanston. . . Also, these three fel-lows
are reputed to be outstanding basketball players. . .
"Butch" Kuhns
Outside Letters are Taboo
"The "unwritten law" at North Park contains a paragraph barring
the donning of any athletic sweater on the campus which bears a letter
from any other school. .. If this request is not abided by within a short
span of time, members of the "NP" club will see if the letters shrink, by
dropping them into the school swimming pool. .. Incidentally, they may
forget to shed the sweaters before the ducking party commences. . .
If you must sport a letter, how about earning it right here at North Park
... The baseball team will welcome Stan Sprigel with open arms, since
Stan has been under the "wing" of Jimmy Smilgoff, class "A" minor
league catcher, all summer... Seymour Rubin, Shelly Slotten, and Bern-ard
Corman will strengthen the swimming team tremendously, as all
three were outstanding high school performers before enrolling at this
school. . . An addition has been made to the football roster. . .
Mr. Sachaison, although never seen in a uniform, is reputed to be the
best "Monday morning quarterback" in the business. . . Don't blame
me, pal, the members of the football squad insisted. . . Vic Gorr's
theme song is "Cut, cut, cut, the boys are cutting", since he has failed
to make his initial appearance at the gym although this is now the
sigh week of school... Maybe he's playing "hide and seek" with "Bibbs"
... Who can tell?...
Kiefer Beats Weissmuller
This is the first time that the following item has been printed in
any newspaper or magazine, but we think that keeping a secret for six
years is long enough... When the Von Steuben high school was opened,
Johnny Weissmuller was invited to attend and participate in the de-dication
of the swimming pool. . . Following the festivities, he was
"egged into" a 220 yard free style race with Adolph Kiefer, present day
world's backstroke champ, but then a mere "kid". . . Imagine "Tar-zan's"
embarrassment when he was forced to trail Kiefer throughout
the race.. . A copy of this article is being forwarded to each of the two
participants. . "Tony Torriero hails from Boston, Mass., where he made
quite a name for himself as a high school athlete. . .
It seems that since the publication of the last edition of this news-paper,
Miss Lucy Schultz has had a change of heart. . . Quote,
"I don't like Wallie Rasmussen, and I think that he is nothing but a
conceited pest". . . More news about Miss Schultz' escapades next week

any contributions which you may have into the mailbox marked

Coach Johnson
Builds Nucleus
for Swim Team
Plans having already been formul-ated,
tryouts for the Viking swimming
team were held last week under the
supervision of Le Roy Johnson, fresh-man
student and excellent diver. Al-though
the turnout was sparse, con-sisting
of only fifteen students, the
squad will be strengthened to a great
degree when the football season ends,
since practice sessions conflict,
Although a few of the following fel-lows
have failed to appear at practice
as yet, Coach Johnson Plans to build
his squad around a nucleus consist-ing
of: Carl Kellman, Bob Wall, and
Shelly Slotten, crawl; Dave Terrill
and Bernard Corman, backstroke, the
former having received valuable train-ing
from Adolph Kiefer, world's
champ, and the latter being a member
of the same squad with the title-holder;
and "Tony" Torriero is ex-pected
to garner points in the breast-
-troke event.
Diving will be handled by one of
the strongest junior college squads in
the country, consisting of Le Roy
Johnson, Sutcliffe, and Seymour Ru-bin,
anyone of whom has won more
tirst places in competition than can be
counted on your hands. This is one
event where North Park will not find
it necessary to "take a back-seat" for
anybody.
Recruits are greatly in need to
round out a well-balanced swimming
squad, and any additions will be wel-comed
with "open arms".
Viking Golfers Lose
to Wright College
in Final Elimination
In the opening encounter of the
Junior college golf elimination round,
North Park was shoved out of further
play this season by losing to Wright
College, 7-5, in a meet which was held
on Wednesday, October 14, at the Big
Oaks Country Club, Wright, by virtue
of this victory, combats either Lyle or
Joliet in the semi-final round which
is also elimination.
Although a two point margin of
victory is considered to be decisive,
the meet would have taken on an en-tirely
different aspect if Marvin
Sacherson could have garnished only
one point However, in view of the
fact that Wright is considered to havel
an extremely strong squad, the result ;
could have been a great deal worse
As it was, both Bill Marshall and Carl
Kellman accounted for two points
each, with Joe Swantick raising the
Viking total to five by winning one
point In his match.
Letters, in all probability, will be I
disti Muted to the members of the golf
team at the same time that the Vikingi
gridiron squad is rewarded for play;
throughout the year.

North Park
Plays Wilson
at Evanston
Coaches Promise Wide-Open
Offense for Viking
Home Contest
In what shoutd turn out to be one
of the highlights of the present junior
college football season, North Park
will take on Wilson College, with the
game taking place next Saturday af
ternoon, October 24, at the north field
of Dyche Stadium, site of North Park's
home tussles. The kickoff will open
the game promptly at two o'clock.
"Even Stephen"
Both teams are evenly matched, and
since both coaches concentrate on of-fense
to a greater degree than defense,
a wide-open battle is in view. Wilson
has an offense which is built around
a speedy backfield and consists of
sweeping end runs and deceptive line
plays which proved successful enough
to battle Lisle, a stronger aggregate,
to a scoreless tie last Saturday.
On the other hand, "Dutch" Sterna-man,
North Park Coach, has drilled
the Viking squad on several plays
which have "Butch" Kubitz, captain
and hard-driving fullback, crashing
through the line. Another feature of
the North Park attack is an intricate
series of passing plays which have
proven successful in the two tilts
which have been played to date. Dar
Pond, North Park Quarterback, and
one of the fastest men on the squad.
is usually on the receiving end of this
group of aerial plays.
Kubitz Stars
With Kubitz in the backfield. the
Vikings boast of one of the most con-sistent
long distance punters in the
conference. Last week, against Whea-ton
"B," Kubitz' kicking was an im-portant
factor in keeping a heavier
and more experienced squad from
crossing the goal line on more than
one occasion, averaging as much as
45 yards throughout the skirmish.
