PRESIDENT OHLSON ATTENDS N. E. A.
CONVENTION AT CLEVELAND, OHIO
Necessity for Character
Development Is
Stressed
North Park was represented in a
gigantic meeting of the National Edu-cation
Society last week by President
Ohlson.
The meeting, which was held in
Cleveland, with more than ten thou-sand
teachers and savants in attend
awe, was held to determine the fu-ture
standards and policies of the echo
cation of the American youth of to-day.
Ideas were exchanged and sug-gestions
were made to raise the gen-eral
average of study, and to develop
the student personality to better fit
him for a useful life.
In a talk given in the Chapel last
Friday, President Ohlson gave a sum-mary
of the speeches made and steps
taken at the convention. He said that
two of the most interesting speeches
were made by laymen, Senator Cope-land,
United States Senator front
New York, and Edward Philene, one
of the biggest department store own-ers
in the East.
Although not professing to be ex-perts
in the line of education, they
both agieed that colleges are woefully
lacking In emphasis on character
training and personality building.
while attaching too much importance
to the mechanics of study. As busi-ness
executives, they were firm in the
belief that character should come first
In mapping out the college curricu-lum.
That the pedagogs felt that Sena
tor Copeland and Mr. Philene ha,'
given them something of primary itn
portance in their speeches was evi-denced
by the terrific round of ap-plause
received by the speakers.

All-College girls
Hold Afternoon Tea
Wednesday, March 7, was an im-portant
date in the social calendar for
the college girls. The event was a tea
given at Caroline Hall from 3 to 5
o'clock that afternoon.
Each girl was received into the liv-ing
room and presented with a deter
little blue and yellow program. The
tea, dainty cakes, and mints were
served at two tables attractively dec-orated
with candles and bouquets of
yellow and lavender cut flowers.
An interesting program had been
arranged by a few of the girls. The
girls' quartette consisting of Leona
Roos, Gudrun Ekman, Dorothy Hunt,
and Frances Carlson, sang one song
to open the program. Another inter-esting
number was a selection played
by a girls' instrumental quartette
made up of Eleanor Gustafson. Har-riet
Widman, Dorothy Hvass, and Flo-rence
Anderson. Marion Johnson gave
a few words of welcome especially to
the new girls, and also introduced an
interesting project, the organization
of an All-College Girls Club. This club
will be an attempt at bringing all the
college girls together into an active
social group. Gwen Wedlock then
contributed a %OM] solo, and Bell Wy-berg
concluded the program with a
humorous reading.
The success of the tea was largely
due to the efficient work done by the
girls on the various committees as
well as those who took part in the
program.

Seminary Students in Gospel
Campaign
All budding poets are invited to
join Pegasus. The club will meet again
in the very near f ut tire. Bring
along a poem, piece of verse, or what-ever
you write.
At the last meeting, the first of the
year, several new members were
taken in and officers elected as fol-lows:
Cassius Sturdy, president
Ruth Peterson, vice president; Jean
Berry, secretary-treasurer.
A program committee promises to
provide a good many interesting even-ings.
Plans were also begun for the
coming edition of Pegasus; the club's
anthology. A publication committee
will be chosen at the nextmeeting.
The Rev. Alfred Lindberg, pastor
of the Church, is an intimate friend
of Dean Lund of our Seminary. the
men having known each other since
they lived In the East. It was through
this acquaintanceship that the invita-tion
was extended to the students to
conduct these services. Dean Lund
will also speak at one of these sent
ices, tomorrow night in the Swedish
language.
Offerings taken during the weeks,
with the exception of transportation
expenses, go to the fund for the sup
port of our missionary, Miss Mims
Johnson. The students are therefore
giving their services gratis.
Social Worker Speaks
To Social Service Club
Miss Lillian Alniquist, a nurse at
the Cook County Hospital, gave a
most interesting talk to girls of the
Social Service Club, in Caroline Hall
Monday evening, March 5. She de-scribed
very vividly her work at the
hospital, and cited cases especially
pertaining to social service work.
Miss Almquist, a student at North
Park, was well known to most of tile
girls: she was therefore particularly
interesting as a speaker.
In a business discussion the group
made plans for a trip to Hull House
to be made Saturday morning, March
24. Any other girls who might enjoy
such a trip are welcome to accompany
them.
At the close of the meeting, refresh-ments
were served. Several new mem-bers
hate been added recently, and
the club continues to invite others.
All College girls are eligible.

enjoying an ultra-successful free lance
schedule against some of the leading

Northwestern U. and Bowling Green
State College from Bowling Green.
Ohio, are two of the most recent on
the list. The last mentioned was held
before a large group of appreciative
students in the Chapel on Friday.
March 9. The proposition of the de-bate
concerned an increase in power
for the President of the United States.
The affirmative and negative sides of
the question were taken by Bowling
Green and North Park, respectively.
This sante question was used by the
Hagstrum-Peterson combination at
the recent Northwest College Debate
Tournament held at the College of
Saint Thomas In St. Paul, Minn., from
February 27 to March 3. Sixty schools
with about 150 leant members front
Minnesota, Iowa. Nebraska, North

were represented. The tourna-ment
was opened with speeches of
welcome by Gov. Floyd B. Olson, a St.
Paul City Commissioner, and the Rev.
Dr. Manahan, the president of Saint
Thomas College.
The teams were thrown into a
series id preliminary debates which
North Park easily survived. From
then on. there was a keen struggle
among the sixty remaining teams.
Ten rounds were set to determine the
champions. North Park continued
through the eighth. During these
eight rounds the North Parkers met
several outstanding teams including
the University of South Dakota, Wis-consin
State Teachers from Stevens
Point, Hemline University from St.
Paul. Saint Olaf College, South Dako-ta
State Teachers of Sioux Falls, and
finally the College of Saint Thomas.

Modern Trends
In the current i,sue of the American-Scandi-navian
Review is till article on modern trends in
the colleges founded by early Scandinavian set-tlers.
Hanna Astrup Larsen, the writer, has no-ticed
a definite breach growing up between the
ideas of the founders and those of the present
studnts.
When these colleges were founded by the
Scandinavian farmers their twofold purpose was
to preserve their religion and to give their chil-dren
an education. All of the colleges discussed
in the article have "hewn to the line" and an-announce
their programs as being "a fine liberal
education on a Christian basis."
Of North Park, Miss Larsen observes, "In
Chicago there is an institution built by the Mis-sion
Friends called North Park College. It has
been described as 'the lengthened shadow of one
man,' Dr. David Nyvall, a noted writer on theo-logical
subjects, who was its president for
twenty-five years. . . . It is more completely
Americanized than most of the other schools,
tending to become regional in character and
drawing its students from various racial groups
in and about Chicago.
"However much we may regret the passing of
individuality in the general standardization, it is
obvious that the process of assimilation must go
on. What we may wish for the colleges is that
they do not altogether lose the personal stamp
given them by their founders. The impulse of
youth makes for uniformity always. It is for the
older and more sophisticated to insist on dif-ferentiation."
Successful Season
North Park has one activity of which it most
certainly should be very proud. During the last
season both the College and the Academy have
produced exceptional' debate teams. The Aca-demy,
winning the Chicagoland Debate League
Championship, emerged victoriously in every
contest but one. This is truly a creditable
record.
The college debaters have also proven their
merit in a string of victories. Especially credit-able
was their achievement last week, when in
competition with some of the strongest aggrega-tions
in the country, they overcame seven oppo-nents
before being eliminated in the Northwest
Collegiate Debate Tournament held at the Col-lege
of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Among those
bowing down before North Park's mentors were
the former national champions.
This was the first time that the school has
been represented in a contest of this conse-quence,
but the prowess displayed certainly
places North Park in the first rank. We're
rightfully proud of our orators! Let's give them
a rousing cheer!

About Braids
"I wish I had a braid! — Every-body

sad and woeful the tones of this un-fortunate

Right at the moment, a braid means
more to the poor dear girl than you
might think. Being "up to date" .15
more important in her young life
than ambition. She loses a certain
sense of pride, a certain self-impor-tance,
the moment she feels that she
is not quite "in style." To have that
feeling of superiority — which is
so necessary for satisfaction — she
niust be like others. However incon-sistent
that may appear to be, it is.
nevertheless, true. A girl can't be
original and he superior. She must be
similar — in other words, "like the
rest." If she is different she goes be-low
her standards, and her mental
attitude is one of bitter reaction.
In time she becomes dominated by
that indefinite force which we call
an inferiority complex.
Why does convention mean so
niuch? Why are standards so exact•
ing? Why is the trend of the moment
AO important? Why do we stress style
rather than progress? It is because
we are afraid — not of others, as we
try to believe — but of ourselves.
Instead of trying to measure up to
our ideals, we spend precious hours
worrying for fear we do not measure
up to the standards of others. We
content ourselves with the mediocre
standards of the mass, and comple-tely
forget our ideals. Why should we
be like everybody else? When will
originality come into its own?

HYMN TO LETHE—
Last bubbling waters of slow Lethe's

PEN SCRATCHES
Dear Scratch,
Have you heard the latest complaint? RATS
at North Park!! And I don't mean the vermin
that chatter during chapel service or the fem-mes
who insist on a man giving up his seat in
the street-ear. Tell me, MI you imagine North
Park without rats? I'll answer it for you — a
thousand times NO!! They are as much a part
of the school as the dust on the library shelves.
Picture, if you can, the age-old, lofty towers
of Notre Dame uninhabited lb,. a family of rats
whose ancestors could point with pride to the
nicks they had gnawed in Quasimodo'm toll rope.
What would the old tradition-ladened buildings
of Trinity, Cambridge. be without the friendly
mice who make love under the ivy-covered
eaves? Eaves that are cleaned out once every
two centuries in order not to disturb the occu-pants.
Do you rmember the high, two-storied
home of your childhood? If you do, then you re-call,
too, lying awake at night listening to the
rats scrambling up anti down and around the
gable and attic walls. The bogey man and Aunt
Euphebia with the hook nose were forgotten in
the peaceful security of the friendly nearness of
these little animals. And a few unimaginative
souls demand that the cousins and in-laws of
these old friends of ours, a happy and harm-less
race, be exterminated. It's MURDER. I
say! And I will fight the movement to the bit-ter
end — until IIitler changes his name to
Cohen. Rodently yours,

Wind
And to what shall this younger generation be
likened? They are like the wind, that bloweth
where it listeth, coaling from a place unknown,
and going to an even more mysterious residence.
Verily, never still, now blustering, biting. scream-ing,
now drifting aimlessly, whispering, flirting
with loose Things as they pass by, never to
return.
And it came to pass in those days that a man
of exceeding great wisdom came to the college
of the Park in the North. the school of the
Vikings. And he taught in their midst daily,
and his name was Erfarenhet. And these chil-dren
of the wind plied him with questions and
many went away and straightway forgot his
words, but some remembered them and walked
according to them. And there was one young
man who had many words and who had for
himself such great admiration that he was able
to buffalo a great number of his brothers and
sisters, but a few were wiser and winked know-ingly
and facetiously called him Prince of
Winds.
It came to pass that this young man came into
the presence of the great Erfarenhet, late in
the day, about the eleventh hour. And the
Teacher spoke to him and enquired of him what
he would have. And the Windy One opened his
mouth and poured out therefrom a torrent of
words that were beautiful and massive and
rhetorical. But his outburst was to be boiled
down to a dissatisfied question, for he could not
fathom why life brought him no happiness.
"Could thou, 0 Master, tell me the secret of it
all?" Speak, for thy servant heareth."
The great Erfarenhet opened his mouth and
spoke thus. "0. K. young fellow. Allow me to
put to thee a question. Dost know whither
bound? Bast thou in life a goal?" "But we
cannot know, 0 Master, it must remain a mys-tery."
And he answered him and said "Forget
thy worship of the wind and be satisfied with
the pace of those who plod along in one di-rection,
for they arrive and find peace."
And because this is already much more than
fifty and two hundred words, this alone can be
said: the young man went away very sad, for
he was extremely windy.

MARCH 14, 1934 NORTH PARK COLLEGE NEWS PAGE THERE
Paul Vars. Paul Elanea. Editisre
YESTERDAYS
Ten o'clock was church time a
North Park, no matter when you wen
to school, and if your seat was no
occupied when the monitors squinted
down the rows of seats, a little check
after your name signified that you,
together with the other goats, had
been separated from the sheep. We
protested feebly that reverence is
never a duty, but the suggestion did
not seem practical, and we let it drop.
One day we pointed out to our
neighbor, who was a scoundrel and
hogged the armrest, that the lighter
colored window papering In the front
was obviously an imitation of the
window papering on the side, which,
in turn, was an imitation of leaded
church panes. Therefore, we patiently
explained, the front windows were
imitations, and two steps rentoved
from Truth. But he looked at us
strangely, and so we let that drop.
too.
About this time the student council
decided that there was entirely too
much talking during chapel, and that
something must be done about those
people who did not feel the same awe
while walking on the creaking chapel
floor as they felt while walking on
the red Brussels carpet of their home
church. Let us be fair: the chapel
period was not as quiet as it now is.
The council made due allowance for the
fact that a youngster capable of sit-ting
with unbroken quiet during week
after week of chapel periods would
probably never paint a great picture
or write a great book. Some noise
was inevitable, but there had been
too much. We decided solemnly at our
meeting that we ntust search out the
incorrigible talkers from pew to pew,
until at last our disciplining flingers
should clime upon their souls. One
warning there would be. then there
would be a recontmendation to the
faculty that those habitual disturbers
be summarily suspended from school.
Ho! there was a grimness as of life
itself in the decisions of that little
group! Chapel did become more
quiet; the student council sighed with
relief, wiped its moist forehead, and
tackled the May Day program.
Certain chapel memories were in-delibly

Some weeks ago mention was made
of a recreation room for the men; it
is slowly becoming a fact. The place
will be the room parallel to the swim-ming
thank on the west side.
After whitewash has been applied
liberally, the floors swept, and the
windows washed, the room may be
presentable. The men's dormitory will
donate a few pieces of furniture to
make the place cosier. There will be
a ping-pong table as the main attrac-tion.
While pleasant conversation and
congeniality is the aim, boisterous-ness
of any kind will naturally not
be permitted.
At the suggestion of the faculty, the
student council has been discussing
the merits of having a regrilar corps
of ushers who would serve during
chapel meetings and any special af-fairs
given in the gym. Their purpose
would be to stimulate a faster flow
of "traffic" and to direct people to a
more systematic seating arrangement.
It was suggested that the corps of
ushers or "marshal's" might form in
club and serve on a competitive basis.

Tournament To Be Played
Thursday. Friday and
Saturday
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday,
March 15, 16 and 17, the State Junior
College basketball tournament will be
played in the La Grange High School
Gymnasium. There are ten teams
entered In the tournament. North
Park has played all but three of these
teams before this year. The teams
not already encountered are Concor-dia,
who finished in a tie for fifth in
the conference, La Salle-Peru, and
Springfield. who seem to be the dark
tease team of the tournament.
North Park drew a bye In the first
round and thus its first tournament
game will be with Morgan Park on
Friday afternoon at four. As the boys
lime defeated Morgan Park already
this year by scores of 49-28 and 59-30,
they are decidedly favored to win this
game.
If the boys play up to form and
take Morgan Park they will then be
eligible for the semi-finals. In the
semi-finals they will encounter either
Joliet, Thornton. or Springfield at
2 - 30 Saturday. If the boys win this
game they will play in the finals at
8-3o Saturday night. If they lose the
seml-final game they will play at 7:30
in the colleolation final.
At the conference meeting held last
Saturday it was decided that the tour-nament
game between Joliet and
Thornton would be considered the
playoff of the conference dispute. If
Joliet wins it will be considered that
the two teams are officially tied for
the title. If, however, Thornton wins
they will be given an undisputed ti-tle.
In the official conference stand-ings
North Park is rated seventh with
five wins and seven defeats.
In the semi-final it is probable that
North Park will encounter either
Thornton or Joliet as Springfield in
little known of. In either case it will
have to be said that the Vikings will
go to the post in this game with the
odds against them, as they have lost
two games to each of these teams.
However, one of the two Thornton
games was dropped by a one point
margin as was one of the two Joliet
games.
In the other bracket of the tourna-ment
Chicago Normal and Morton
will play in the first round. In the
second round La Grange will play
Concordia, and La Salle will play the
winner of the first round game. In
the third round, the semi-final, the
winners of these two games will play.
The losers of the two semi-final games
will then play a consolation final and
the winners of the semi-final games
will play for the championship.
Coach "Middy" Nelson was elect-ed
vice president of the Northern
Illinois Junior College conference
at its regular meeting last Satur-day.
Congratulations "Middy."

Compliments should be dished in
the direction of Coach Bert Young-quiist
for the fine showing he has
made with the Academy basketball
team during this last season. He
pulled them up from last to third in
their conference. Coach Youngquist
will now lend his hand to college
baseball of which lie has charge this
year.
Coach Hultman is to handle the
track team this year. We expect
to have a swell squad under his
guidance.
We wonder when the much talked
of swimming team is to be organized
Oh well, we've waited this long we
can continue to wait.
