The Board of Directors spent an entire day on campus, talking with students, both in large open discussions and in smaller conversations with specific student organizations. lt was the first such encounter on record. The Domestic Affairs Commission gathered hundreds of boxes of clothes from students and Chicago area churches lsadly, no Covenant congregations respondedl. The clothes were sent to Chinle, Arizona and distributed there among Navajo Indians by a former North Parker. Students for a Live- able World, North Park's eco-freaks campaigned for fewer people, breathable air, clean water, and less garbage lin the form of recyclable bottles and cansl. Last, and by no means least, the Social Ser- vices Commission continued its far-reaching tutoring programs, overcame the major setback of a fire in its storefront center, and sponsored a Saturday morning basketball league for neighborhood kids.

WHERE ARE YOU BUUNIJ For one week a year, all of North Park acts as if there is a real world off cam- pus. Outward Bound projected as far as Big Bend National Park, Texas, and Washington, D.C. this year. One group collected scorpions and rattlesnakes, the other watched the wheels of gov- ernment grinding on--if in fact they moved at all. Others, staying closer to base, communed with the ghost of Frank Lloyd Wright or helped deliver the babies of Chicago's poor. Every year the same thing comes across: the resources are all there--you only have to dig them up and use them. N ex N X 5- S
