Public Education Is Foundation of Freedom The recorded history of mankind relates that a cease· less war has raged between til-Ose who would free and those who would enslave the human spirit.

In some periods the tide of battle has turned in favor of those who would enslave men. Hitler forecast such a period to last a thousand years.

At other times· the march toward liberty and a free way of life has appeared to be irresis~ible. In the last chap· ter of a "History of the Freedom of Thought,'' by J. B. Bury, published in 1913, this remarkable statement ap· pears:

The struggle of reason against authority has ended in what appears now to be a decisive and permanent victory for liberty.

When Bury made this statement, the world was on the 11 period in which the advocates of enslave· ment and of freedom were to lock in a life and death atruggle. We are still in that same period. It remains to be decided whether the forces of light or of darkness are to triumph.

very brink of

The aftermath of World War II is a time of unusual GtreS's and strain, not only between nations but within our 'OW11 country. In periods of stress and tension the wise nation looks to its foundations. Public education is the very foundation of freedom, and the people in Nebraska and the nation are looking for ways to impr·ove the public ~dhools.

I am proud that you have decided to continue with your ad~anced studies at the Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru. It is a great privilege to have the opportunity of attending college. It places on your shoulders the tidditional responsibility of providing the leadership necessary to see that mankind remains free.

The faculty and facilities of the college are at your ~ervice.

Ifs Your Paper Too--Why Not Contribute?

This first issue of The Pedagogian for the 1950-51 year is a real infant, wrapped in swaddling clothes and delivered w.ith some misgivings. By necessity it is by no means a finishetl product. It is the result of yeoman effort on the part 'Of a group of students unfamiliar with the intricacies of new:spaper publication and the supervision of an advisor hampered by commitments which have given him little ·time for direction of this initial issue.

This newspaper is published for and by the students.

It is "for" all students. It should be ' by'' all students. The staff of The Ped will welodme assistance in any form and in any quantity. The staff wants this publication to mirror the activities of all students. Limited time facility will make it physically impossible to explore every possible news 11ource. Students other than those in the Journalism class should feel just as much a part of the newspaper staff as those do w11ose names appear in the Masthead.

The columns of this paper are open to all types of ma· terial which will reflect, promptly and properly, the student body and its life. Names are news. Activities are news. You and your activities are news. The staff will appreciate your help.

The Journalism class is especially grateful to Mr. C.E. Wilki11son for his assistance in helping to get this first offering "on the street." As adviser to the Journalism class last year, his offer of assistance was accepted with open arms and a thankful heart Thanks, Mr. Wilkinson!

Did you ever live in a place where the sun seems to ;take a personal interest in y<Ju as an individual?

Did you ever live in a place where the trees seem to rustle for your benefit and have that deep, luscious green fook?

Did you ever live in a place where the scenery is different in every direction you may wish to look?

Did you ever live in a place where the weather seems to bave a personality of its own, never exactly the same, ·but trying to get you to respond to its every mood?

Did you ever live in a place where the buildings seem 'to echo the thousands of voices of young men and women who were helped up the ladder of success?

Did you ever live in a place where young men and women are working hard, having a good time, and devoting themselves to helping each other grow to maturity with dignity and graciousne~.

Have you ever lived in a place where people are friendly, tolerant, and devoted to high spiritual values?

Did you ever live in a place where you are surrounded by people with open minds and who are devoted to searching for truth?

Have you ever lived in a place where the cultural tone is at a high level-good music, good art, good literature?

Have yiou ever lived in a place where you can find other people who have interests similar to yours?

Have you ever lived in a place where you are surrounded by people who are experts in their various fields of knowledge and where stimulating discussion can take place at any time?

Have you ever lived in a place where you can watch young men and women making great strides forward in developing well-t4ounded persopalities, developirn! their interests and abilities which are necessary for leaders today 11rd tomorrow?

Did you ever live in a place where you can have the thrill of knowing that the teachers whom you helped prepare will influenc,e many thousands of children, not only in Nebraska, but over the entire nation?

Yes! I am living in that place now. I'm back home to Peru S:ate Teachers College. A hearty, mid-century Home.coming welcome to Peruvians everywhere!

-Wayne 0. Reed

What does Homecoming mean? To many, who have never attended college, it means little more than a bunch of college grads trying to be young again. To others, it means gqing back to the campus to see one's old friends. To the grad himself, what does it mean? The students at Pern State will soon know-many already know.

What does Homecoming mean to a Peruvian? It has that depth, that feeling of going home! Yes, going home to the campus that to many was their first home away from home. T:o see that room-mate, (how they did fight, wear each others' clothes, try to steal each others' date; how they crammed for tests with one another! etc., etc.,) to see old dates, (their kids and wife or husband) to brag about a high salary, a winning team, an excellent school sYstem or a new business, or "Where's Joe?" Yes, Homecoming' is a time for conve·rsation.

But, there is much more. Many things that go far beyoncl, the conversational level. There's that feelino which hits you when you make the turn at the six mile c~rner-a feeling which words cannot emotionally emphasize. There are .memories. Yes, memories of many, many events, hap· penmgs and situations-each building, walk, road adds to that treasure chest of memories.

Many of the on-campus students will see former alumni, true Peruvians, in small groups talking ... It will look no different than any other group anywhere in our country.

But, if you will listen you'll learn of tradition, friendship, and a kinship to a ciollege that has lived for each. Lived to make your Campus of a Thusand Oaks known the world .over for the "Peru Spirit" that can only be Peruvian. Listen!

-Rex W. Floyd

New tnrollments Three new students have registered for classes this past week.

John Joseph McMahon of Falls City is a junior and comes to us from the Un'.versity of Nebraska.

Robert Keith Davis of Chicago, a sophomore, comes from Southwest Missouri State College.

Alice M. Bernard of Julian, a freshman, was a former WAC. Peru has suffered about a 2 per cent loss in enrollment this year. However, we believe this lc·ss to be favorable in comparison with other schools.

Calendar The calendar committee met Thursday, September 29, to make plans for the Homecoming events and activities. Committees were . appointed to begin immediate · planning.

• Grace Pfister of Steinaur and Margie Heim of Dawson are serving as co-chairmen and will direct the plans for the dormitory display. Others serving on the committee are Jo Anne Rogge of Johnson, Pat Craney of Atlantic, Ia., and Rachel Paap of Otoe.

Phyllis Grunwald of Union will be chairman for the parlor decorations.

Mrs. Waldo McPherson, president of the first district, addressed the club members. She reported on tbe progress of the women's clubs over the state and nation. Her address was informing and enjoyed by all.

Dr. Wayne Reed of Peru State College spoke to the group on the need for more and better trained teachers.

Mrs. B. F. L0rance, the first president d the federation, was present.

Mary Handley

0rgan iza tions Dramatics Club The iLittle Theater was the scene d the first meeting of the Peru Dramatics club at eight 0'clcck Tuesday evening, September 19. Truman Lytle of Tecumseh, who was chosen president of this year's organiazation, presided.

A major portion of the business consisted of approving the revised constiution, which was read

by Pat Benford, Peru, club secretary. The need of a club key caused the appointment of a committee including Don Graham, Nebraska City, Roiaid Kucera, Douglas, and Mrs. Pat Cox, Peru, who are to report on their findings.

Ronald Kucera, vice-president of the club, was put in charge of alumni records. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting.

Commercial Club All students interested in the organization of a Commercial Club are urged to attend a special meeting called for this purpose at 7:30 o'clock tonight (Thimdav, October 12) in Room 301 Administration Building.

Students enrolled in commercial education either as a major or minor, business administra'ion, pre-business administration G commercial terminal courses of any kind are particularly requested to be present, according to Mr. Robert :Spelts, commercial subjects instructor.

Foreign Language Club On Mondav evening September George Rath, head of t.hr. fore'gn lanr.:uage department 8nd sponsor of the club, presented colored slides of European scf•1es and expl<.dned them to the group in three languages. Refreshments were served by Evelyn Boseck.

New Disease Strikes Bobcats A new disease called spirit has found its way into the Bobcat camp thrs tall, and it must be con(agious as it has spread through the football team and has now infected the entire student body.

It is an odd disease because while the Bobcats thrive on it, our opponents are not as fortunate and they are doorved to go down in defeat.

This new spirit has done wonders for the Peru eleven in its early games.

It may seem strange to some that so much credit should be given tc a little thing like spirit, but we sh6uld remember that although football formations may vary from school to school, all coaches teach fundamentally the same things.

The teams are allowed only eleven men on the field at one time and as a group their natural ability will not vary greatly. Therefore it is the little things that win football games and this little thing called spirit is the main link in the long chain of little things that has the Bobcats riding the winning trail.

Then there's the shoes, Joe. I tell you I have shoephobia from polishing so many shoes. I've polished everything from sandals to hip boots and every color from putrid green to mud-splattered black.

I plead not guilty and even before the judge could ask them the jury cried, "guilty!" Democratic, eh Joe? .

Well, they sentenced me to ·wear my clothes inside out for the rest of the week and to report to Room 225 in Delzell. You knc·w, Joe, that wearing clothes inside out has its advantages.

Just think, next week I can turn them right side out and wear them again. Yep, save a laundry bill.

MEET THE FIGHTING BOBCAT CAPTAINS

Ken Taylor Ken came to the Bobcat fo.Jd :from North' Platte where he was a three sport letterman for the Bulldogs.

"Pole" holds down the center spc·t and has been giving an iron mar; account of himself both on the offensive and defensive gro(1ps. He is seeking his third Peru letter and lcoks like a good bet for All~Conference honors.

Ken is a senior math and physical education student and cocaptain of the Buena Vista game.

Bob Gausman Bob came to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks from Chester via Fairbury Junior College where he was a standout, lettering both years. there.

"The Shadow" is a field general deluxe and holds dov.:n the all-important quarterback slot for the Bobcats. He is a senior and barring injury will earn his second "P" this fall. His specialty is returning punts and kickoffs for long gains.

Pound for pound Bob is probably the best football player in the state. He was co-captain of the brilliant Bobcat defeat of the Doane Tigers .

LeVern Poppe The "Meat Man" came to the Bobcats from Carleton where he earned an All-State berth on Gregg McBride's 1941 six man football selections.

"Pop" is well known for his plunging ability frcm the fullback slot and is headed for his second college letter this £all. He was co-captain of the Peru eleven in their defeat of Bt:ena Vista.

He is a senior physical education major, but my guess would be that he will spend most of his life selling fine steaks for football banquets.

.Bobcats Win Their Early C/onference FootbaU Games Peru 13; Doane 0

Manuel Briseno

"Ci'azY Horse'' came to the Bobcat fold from Hershey where he was a standout in six man football.

IManuel plays left guard and backs the line for the Wheeler· men. He shines on the deitmse and helps the team moraie with his tall tales in the dre'sing room. He is a senior and will earn his third letter this fall.

Manuel, an ex-Marine, is a physical education major and served the Cats as co-captain of the Wayne game.

Bob Wilson

Red is the Bobcats work horse and came to Peru from North Platte where he starred as one :of the "Gold Dust Twins."

He is a senio:· :: :-c:ns from either the halfback or fullback slot on offense ar:d riays a great game on the defense. Red is a hard runner and is always good for just one more yard when the goir_g gets rough. He is working for his fourth "P" and hopes to have a white ·sweater to go with it. He was co-captain of the Wayne game.

R2d is a physical education major and intends to coach next fall.

Peru's fighting Bobcats upset a favored Doane College eleven 13-0 in the football conference opener for both schools. The game was played before the largest crowd ever to watch a season opener at Peru.

Good blocking made halfback Mudra's first score look comparatively easy. Darrel took a Tiger punt on his own 28 and sprinted 72 yards goalward. The kick was no good and the score remained 6-0 until late in the final q~arter.

Then Peru, with Poppe, Mudra, "Rsd" Wilson and Scheitel leading the way, drove 73 yards to a touchdown. Mudra carried the last four. Lindell kicked the extra point to end the scoring for the evening.

Doane drove to the Peru 1Oya rd line three times but each time the Bobcat line ros·e to the occasion and stopped them short.

Def.2nsive standouts of the game included the entire Peru team.

Provorse and Summers looked gocd for Doane on the offense as did Fletcher on defense.

Frank Masek Frank came to the Bobcat fold from Odell after an extended tour with the Navy.

Frank may not be the flashiest player on the Peru eleven but he is one of the most reliable. He holds down the right tackle spot on the first offensive line and if needed is equally capable on defense. Big Frank is after his third letter and only early graduation will keep him from gaining his fonrth. He was co-captain for the Midland game.

He is a physical education major. He is married and expects a son coJn who will b2 the star of the 1970 Bobcats.

~km Miller "Diz" came to Peru from North Platte where he captained the 1945 Bulldogs.

He is a right tackle and gets most of his action on the defensive line. He is seek'ng his fourth Peru State letter and w2s co~ captain in Peru's 13-0 defeat of the Doane Tigers.

Peru 26; Midland 0 Peru tallied four times in the first half as it outclassed Midland 26-0 in a football game at Fremont, September 30.

It wasn't until midway in the first stanza that Bob Gausman gathered in a Warrior punt and scocted 55 yeards to a touchdown. Bob started to his left then reversed the field and mo\·ed down the east sideline untouched.

In the second period Peru caught fire. "Red" Wilson startej things off when he waddled around end in his typical fashion for ten yards and six points. The kick was blocked and the, score read 12-0.

Then Gausman duplicated his earlier. feat only this time he gallcped 97 yeards ·to "the opposite goal and another score.

Haulk's place kick made it 19-0.

The final score came when Mudra grabb2d a LeRoy Wilson pass for 20 ya:·ds and slipped into the end zone standing up.

Haulk again converted to make the final score re<id 26-0.

The second haif was sluggish on the part of both teams. Whee1er tested his rese:ve strength throughout the last half and altho they looked good they couldn't hit pay dirt.

Defensive standouts were again hard to name as the entire squad did outstanding work in guarding Peru's goal.

IlOilKITTENS ROMP TO 52-6 TRUJMPH The Peru Prep Bobkittens made Thursday night, September 21, a long one for the Nebraska City Reserves as they rolled to an easy victory on the Pioneers' home sod.

Coach Jerome Stemper's Bobkittens lost little time in starting the romp, and with only five minutes gone, John Henning went over from the three. Duane Rains plunged for the extra point.

Four minutes later, Rains went off taekle and swept left end on a 24-yard scoring run. Henning added the extra point.

With seconds remaining in the first quarter, Peru quarterback Rodger Majors went to the Nebraska City four. Shorlty after the second q:.:arter opened, Ray Simpson scored through the middle.

In the second period Nebraska City came to life and sparked. by the running of Jim Herman and passing of Del Stoltenberg, they marched to the Peru 31 before the strong Prep line ~mothered the spark.

Five minutes of the third period ticked away, then Majors flipped a 12-yard scoring pa's to end Fred Applegate. The try for extra point failed and the score stood at 26-0.

Only a few plays later, Peru blocked, a NC punt on the Pioneer 14, and Majors went over from the eight on a quarterba~k sneak.

Henning op~ned the fourth by intercepting 9 Pioneer pass and racing 50 yards to hit pay dirt.

Applegate booted the extra point.

With only five minutes left Nebraska City finally scored. Stoltenberg flipped a 13-yard aerial to Tom Hebard in the end zone.

The try for extra point failed.

Peru completed the romp with two minutes remaining. Rains went 35 yards on a lateral play.

Fr· d fzJ'rnd his way to the Bob· cat ~t·ong:.cld from Hot Springs, South Dakota.

He is a seniJr and holds down the Jc:( end position on the Bobcat line. He has always been 3 bright spot on the offe1:se and i~ proving ta. be equally adept on defense this season. Fred is seek~ ing his fourth Peru letter.

Fred is a good student and is now one of Peru's better business men. He will serve the Bobcat~ as co-captain of the Chadrdn gar::1e.

Dick Webb Dick is the Bobcats' right guard and came to us from Tecumseh high where he was a three sports star.

Dick, and ex-Navy man, is big and rough and shines on both cf. fense and c'efrnse. He is a 'e:1-· ior and will earn his third Peru . letter th's year. He was co-cap~ tain of the Midland game.

GOAL LINES

By Diz Miller :Kee1> Fighting . . .

I would like to offer a word of encouragement to the freshmen, and other fellows on the squad who feel that they are not good enough to make the team and sometimes think oi checking in their equipment.

It is hard to think of sitting on the bench after being a star on your home town high school team, but several members of the present Bobcat eleven started out their freshman year on the "B" squad.

It isn't the first 11 or 22 men who make the ball club. It is these fellows combined with the :reserve strength which they have backing them that will make a championship .team.

There is an old saying that a ehain · is no stronger than its weakest link. The same holds true with a footbal squad. Even the best players may become injured. The coaches will then have to look over their recruits and pick a link to fill the hole in the chain. If these links are prepared for the strain, they will not weaken the chain to any great degree. As a natural thing the .coaches will pick the man whom they think is best prepared to till the place. That man could just as easily be you as the next :fellow. , Old Tradition . . .

When you hear your friends speak of football tradition, you Peru State backers should really shine. Did you know that the first Peru football team was organized in 1887? That was exactly 63 years ago, and in case you need further emphasis to put over your point, this was before the University of Nebraska had a tootball team.

Another parf of great tradition is the wor Id's record for conbasketball victories with a total of 54.

The Peru victory bell adds a great· deal to the Bobcats tradition. It was purchased in 1890 by from chicken pie suppers, taffy pulls and square dances.

The game captain rings the bell once for every point scored in a Bobcat victory. This practice was discontinued during the war years but was revived by this Fighting Cats.

We are happy to report that the tarnish has been worn off the early games this seaand the old bell is all set to the alumni back for

letter men and this is supposed to be Coach Ross Armstrong's year, but the Bobcats will be at ful strength physically.

Peru is one of the 'few teams holding an edge over Chadron in gridiron rivalry. Peru has won eleven, lost eight and tied one with the Eagles.

In last year's game, the Eagles sp-0iled a Peru Homecoming by rolling to a 27-0 victory. When Peru lost 6-13 in the 1948 ggame at Chadron it was the first time that a Wheeler coached eleven had lost to the Eagles. Darrell Mudra scampered to a pair of touchdowns before a large homecoming crowd as Peru won the 1947 contest by a 14-6 score. Jim Mather sparkd the Bobcats to a 26-6 triumph in the 1946 encounter.

'B' Squad Humbles Highland JC 46-0 The Peru State "B" squad under the able tutelage of Newt "Rockne" Kyle, swamped an out manned Highland Junior College team from Highland, Kans., by the score Of 46-0. The game was played in the Oak Bowl Thursday, October 5.

The scoring plays: 1. McKnight scored on a 35yard run.

2. Peru blocked a kick and Highland was registered with a safety. · 3. Arglebright scorer on a 25yard run. · · 4. Haulk kicked the extra point.

Coach Al Wheeler's Blue and White gridders tasted defeat for the first time this season when a fighting, clawing band of Wayne Wildcats came out on the long end of a 7-6 score last Saturday night at Oak Bowl.

With Rollie Ga;st, Bill Flynn,' and Don Kane providing the offensive spark, Coach Jack Wink's defending champions amassed a total of 19 first downs and a rugged Wayne line stymied the highly touted Bobcat running attack. One of the. largest crowds lin recent Peru grid history witnessed the fray which was played under ideal conditions.

The Bobcat eleven scored midway in the initial stanza when -senior t a c k 1e, Eldon Teton, pounced en a Rollie Gast fumble in the Wayne end zone. Only a few moments earlier Gast had picked off a LeRoy Wilson aerial d!eep in Wildcat territory. The visitors received a 15 yard penalty for clipping and on the following play came the bobble which resulted in a Peru touchdown. Clair Haulk's attempted conversion was wide of the uprights.

After an exchange of punts, Gast reeled off 24 yards as the determined Wildcats drove 59 yards to the Peru one yard line but an aggressive Peru forward wall rose up to halt the threat.

LeRoy Wilson punted out to the

The gamP was the fourth triumph this season for Coach Joe Moss' kid> and the first defeat of the season for Peru Prep's Jerome Stemper, former Table Rock mentor.

Pawnee City's touted Indians knocked at the touchdown door four times but couldn't cash in more than once.

The Indians opened the scoring when tackle Alvin Vance blocked a Peru punt on the Bobkitten 19-yard line. On a series of line plays, Eckman rammed the mid~ dle for six points. Rutt Clark plunged for the all-important extra point.

With Duane Rains, one of the state's fastest backs, eating up most of the yardage, the visitors drove· to the Pawnee City 25yard line. Rains ran the distance to pay dirt and the score stood

In the dying moments of the first half, a fumble recovery by Bill Vacek, junior end from Pawnee City, gave Peru posses1~ion of the ball on the Wildcat 19. After LeRoy Wilson carried the leather to the 10, a field goaL attempt by Clair Haulk was unsuccessful. .. Wayne threatened several times in the last half, but couldn't reach promised land. Drives were halted by a hard-charging Peru line on their 9, 12, 13, 18, and 29 yard lines.

Prep Wins From Odell H.S. 27-6 Peru Prep beat OdeJl 27-6 before a big football hungry crowd at the Oak Bowl Friday night but waited until the. fourth quarter to make victory a certainty.

Duane Rains ran back an Odell punt for 98 yards and a touchdown in the first period and John Henning plunged over for the extra lJOint. Then for half the game time the Prep machine stalled and fizzled and flirted with defeat.

The second stanza was scoreless. In the third, Odell's Bpb Dailey plunged into pay dirt and made the count stand 7 and 6, as the conversion was missed.

Finally, late in the session Rains got the ball on scrimmage and toted it 49 yards for another tally, and then plunged for the extra point to makP the score 14-6.

Prep had finally waked up.

John Henning started the fourth with a 28 yard scoring run and Bill Bennett plunged over the conversicn. That made it 21 for Prep and Rodger Majors made it 27 with a quarterback sneak.

The try for point by place-kick failed.

By rushing Prep gained 131 yards to Odell's 45; but Odell made 61 yards passing while Prep's air attack was a washout.

\Vhere Did They Go I asked Newt Kyle the <lay why Peru missed the boat ~everal promising athletes whu should have matriculated here thisi fall.

"Well, I don't know, the amiable mentor replied as he scrat-ched his head. "It seems that several good boys were headed toword the Campus of a Thousand Oaks until more lucrative offers lured them elsewhere."

What's the trouble? It seems that publ:city at bigger schools, <.mfounded promises and the fact that a green kid has a hard time making an intelligent choice when th;; gold of big-time athletics glitters in seemingly greener pastures is the cause. We couldn't come out and say "You look here, boy, we'll give you your tuition, books, board, spending mcney, and the Chancellor's car on Saturday night;" but we've got something down here that will mean a lot more to these boys in the long run, and it's uP to loyal Peruvians to spread the word.

In the first place a boy can attend school at Peru on less money without a scholarship than he can with one at most of the bi~ univr::rsities. Tuiticn is low, and booi's may be rented at a nominal fee. Room and board bills can be footed by various jobs 2 :-ound the campus, and most of Le boys ir. school now receive no cutsidc support.

Si:-,ce most athletes are inter·eSted in coaching, it seems fitting tc mention that Peru has one of foe best physical education departments in this :iart of the ·count:·:r. Gymnasium facilities ;ire :;0te: tl:an foose in anv other colk:;c in ere N'.C.C.

Peru's basketball teams have won foe N.C.C. championship three years in a row and have r2presented this region in the N.A.I.R tournament for the last three years.

Kyle, head basketball coach, had national championship team in lll'W whi1e coaching at Tarkio.

Peru's football team is currently the powers in the N.C.C. a S-1 record.

Peni sph it is known over the s~ate imd the whole student body usually follows the team to ath· 1etle cootests. In games away from home Peruvians have been known l!l outnumber the home crowd size and always in enthusiasm.

What about entertainment?

That's the question. After all, we came here to study and learn something, and the fact that there are few distractions should be an asset. We should make use of our well equipped library where, with new modern service, any type of material is made available. We should be thankful that three hours of our day are not spent on a bus, as is the case cf a good many students at a university I attended for a short time.

It is pertinent that not many kids are going to get lost in the shuffle as they do in some of the big universities because there are profs around who are genuinely interested in individuals and have the time to tend to those individual's wants.

Getting back to entertainment '.' 11 is not lost. Delzell Hall is e~ quipped with a recreation room where pool tables (in better Sh~pe than tho~e, at cToe's DOOl room), ping pong tables, .and duck pin alleys are available.

Our social life shouldn't suffer for there is dancing every night at !}n Bob Inn. We have a mod2.m Snack Bar at the dormitory 2:1d also television. Throughout '..i:: e year there are se\·eral b~dget evrnts, usually of high quality rntertainment, to help round out the social calenc'.ar. There is an occasional square dance, picnic, recreational 3,wimming, club or fn1.ternity meeting, and the weather is ahays right for a blanket \co.dy.

Well, Joe, I'm sure lear lot about this campus. I've taking an extended tour of I'll jus1 have to tell you my visit to that brick build' the north side of the camp called the Music Howl.

GOAL LINES

By Diz Miller The fighting Bobcats can be very proud of their early defensive record. The Cats held three of their first five conference opponents scoreless and after these five games hold the best defensive record in the conference.

Wayne and Kearney are the only teams to score on Peru and their combined effort was only 13 points.

A word of warning to Newt Kyle. With the completion of the football season the basketball practice should be flooded with gndders trying to make the basketball team. It seems the footbali team received such a warm welc0me at Alliance, on the recent t;ip to Chadron, that most of the boys are determined to make the western trip with the rcu:cl ball artists thi;, winter.

In c.il seriousness the trip to Chadron was very successful. big thing was the 12-0 trimming of the Eagles, but there were many little things to make tht trip a success.

Peru Rolls to 32-6 Homecoming Victory Peru breezed to a 32-6 victory over Kearney before an over..: flowing homecoming crowd at the Oak Bowl Saturday. The game marked the first time in three yearn that Peru has won a homecoming game and the first time in ten years that Peru has beat Kearney.

Peru started with a rush as Kearney fumbled. , the opening kickoff and Ken Taylor recovered on Kearney's 48. On the first play, however, a Gausman screen pass was stolen by J. Brestal who returned to the Peru 32. Peru's line then stiffened and held, taking the ball on downs at the 28.

Just 14 plays later Darrel Mudra cracked over from one yard out to climax a 72 yard drive. LeRoy Wilson faked a kick and passed to Thomas 1or the extra point.

A few minutes later, after a LeRoy Wilson kick had gone out of bounds on the four, Gausman returned Kearney's kick out to the 35. Carries by Mudra and Poppe, combined with a 16-yard Red Wilson to Comstock pass, moved the ball to the 8 and Mudra rambled across from there.

LeRoy Wilson's kick was good and Peru led 14-0 at the quarter.

Peru's third touchdown came

moments after the second half kick off. Brawner returned 20 yards to his awn 45. Gausman got a yard in the center of the line, then Mudra broke loose to the 18. On th next play Gausman passed to Jim James who scooted down the east sidelines for a score. The kick was wide.

15. The kick was wide and scar• ing ended at 32-6. \Some of Peru's defensive standouts were Ken Taylor, Bob Lade, Tom Humphrey, Duane Miller and Rolapd Beran in the :line and Bob Gausman in the secondary.

Peru came right back as Kearney again fumbled the kick off and Diz Miller recovered cm the Kearney 29. It took just six plays for Peru to score as Mudra tallied for the thiTd time, this one on a 'i-yard piunge. Lindell's try for point was blocked and the score :·crnained 26-0.

The basketball schedule is not complete, as a iew dates are ten• tative. It will be published in the Ped at a later date.

Bobcats Upset Chadron Eagles

rccove•:n:g a Prep fumble in the early minutes of the game. They were quick to take advantage of the break and led 6-0.

The 'Sidney lead was short lived as Rains gathered in the following kickoff and outran the entire Sidney team on a 95-yard scoring jaunt. He made the run look very simple behind the crisp blocking of the young Bobkittens' forward wall. Prep failed lo make the extra point and the sco ."e was tied 6-6 with but a few minutes gone in the first period.

The score iemained tied until the second quarter. Prep marched to the 5-yard line and the defJendable Rains crashed over for the winning touchdown. The Kittens again missed the extra point an dthe score stood 12-6 at the half.

The second half developed into an offensive battle with both teams threatening but both lacking the effective scoring pt,1nch.

Rains was again the offensive standcut for the Bobkittens ':and cRme in for many sharp tackles on the cldrnse. "Goose" Applegate <tncl Bill McAdans were two of the brighter spots on the Peru line, both showing especially well on the de:iense.

The Peru State Bobcats again upset the dopP sheet by spoiling the Chadron Eagles homecoming with a 12-0 victory at Chadron.

The Bobcats started the game off by marching to the Eagles one foot line the first time they gained possession of the ball.

This bid was stopped by a stout Chadron defense.

The fighting Cats were not to be denied and a few minutes later "Red" Wilson plowed over from the two yard line to cap a 67-yard drive. Clair Haulk's try for extra point was wide.

The next two periods were highlighted by the powerful plunging of big Laverne Poppe, the kicking of LeRoy Wilson, and the sterling performance of the entire Bobcat line.

With the opening of the fourth quarter, End, 1Fred Thomas, intercepted Johnny Alberta's pass and ran untouched for 35 yards to score the second Peru touchdown.

Chadron was kept deep in its own territory throughout the first quarters of the game. They made their only serious threat in the fourth period when they moved to the Peru 20 before being stopped by the alert line play of the Bobcats.

Poppe was the biggest gun in the Peru offense while the entire Bobcat line sparkled in rri'aking the Eagles, the third conference foe, go scoreless.

York Panthers Saturday Foe York College, fresh from a 40 to 18 victory over Sterling, Kans., will try to pull the upset of the week Saturday night when they entertain the Bobcats on the Panthers home field in York.

Jack Brawner and Elden Teton, stalwart linemen, will act as cocaptains for Peru.

Hastings College earned a warm spot in the hearts of the Bobcats by upsetting Wayne 7-0, boosting Peru into a tie for the top spot in the conference. This warm spot will soon disappear as the Bobcats must travel to Hastings to meet the giant killers in an all-important game on November 4.

The Bobcats have a double incentive to win these remaining two conference games. The most important, of course, is to return the football championship to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks after a lengthy absence.

The other incentive is a trip to the Bean Bowl game on Thanksgiving Day at :Scottsbluff.

This Bowl game is an annual affair sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of that city. It is a charity benefit and involes the champions of the NCC and Rocky Mountain Conferences.

WEJ?N~SOAY,

An extensive summer tour of Europe by Hastings College students is being planned by Dr. William MoCall, Chairman of the HC French department.

The journey, sche!luled for the summer of 1951, will give interested persons the opportunity to see different phases of European life.

Several countries are on the proposed schedule. England and.

France definitely will be visited and the tour may be extended into other sections of Europe.

Individual expenses on the two month excursion will depelld entirely on the participating sru-

dents. The countries may · be toured on bicycles, or by train at reduced student rates.

Anyone interested is urged to contact Dr. McCall at once. The size of the group will be limitec\ and b0at reservations must be made this fall. If a mixed group ma.kes ihe trip, both Dr. and Mrs. McCall will act as chaperons.

Those Peru students who may interested should also contact Dr. McCall at Hastings College.

New Deal for Star Gazers "Our observatory is l'i.nally going fo be put to use," declared John Christ, acting head of t:'1e science department, in a recent campus interview. A course in astronomy, which is being planned for second semester, will be made possible by the repairing of the rotating mechanism on the observatory.

"The scope has been so hard to rotate that only occasional use has been made of the observatory," said Mr. Christ. He also went on to explain that the course would be an elective and would require no laboratory.

Several meetings would be arranged in lhe evenings.

"Vve hope to cut out most of the difficult math oo that the course can be made available to more students," Mr. Chr:st concluded.

May Not Submit Formal Protest Hopes for a possible re\·ersal of the decision which cost the Peru Bobcats at least a tie for the Nebraska College Conference football title dimmed Monday e\·ening as the result of an informal conference between representatives of Peru State Teachers College and Hastings College, at Hastmgs.

field officials,

The protest was based on the timing in the closing period of the contest, during which time Hastings scored the disputed touchdown. The Peru group conter.ded that failure to start the clock on the referee's signals r~sultcj in c:i.n (~-.:tension time ,,\·hich allvwe~i EJsEngs additional plays. The disputed. touchdown was scored on the last o!av of the game. · ·

Testimony presented by members of the Peru contingent and two of the game officials indicated that if the clock had been run properly the game would have been over before the fast play could have been executed.

"We sometimes become so involved in what we are doing: that we Jose sight of things that are being done elsewher.e," Mr~ Gomon said. He went on to explain the values of the teachers. meetings.

"The major hope of the teaching profession lies in the future teachers. They will bring new enthusiasm and fresh point of view," he concluded.

JOE STUFF

It seems that suddenly one day Peru State Teachers College became badly in need of a parking area. Maybe it wasn't a sudden occurence because the increased number Qf students driving has been a gradual development. Anyway, a group of students, noting that parking facilities were becoming inadequate, contacted Robert Spelts, Commerce Prof. and Doc Reedi, Pre:li.-y, and had a little confabulation the other evening.

The next morning I was awakened by the angry growl of a bulldozer. I looked out of my Delzell Hall window through half-open eyes and thought I saw Doc Reed sawing down a tree. By golly, it was Doc Reed and he was on one end of a saw downing a huge oak that adorned the west rim •of the Oak ·Bowl. I blinked and looked a little closer. Fellows were all over the place sawing the trees into sections and a dozer was leveling the site.

Moments later when I answered a rap on my door, I was confronted by Duane Miller, the Chairman of the Oak Bowl Park Commission. Like all the other students, I do· nated my free time to clearing the area. It wasn't long before ~he project was completed and now we have have a well located, adequate parking area.

This project has added beauty to the campus scene and efficiency to campus life because automobiles no longer obliterate every terrace. . ..

How can you lose with that kind of spirit and initiative -the thing that is typical of Peru State students?

Well, Joe, I guess I'll continue m:r campus: exploration tale.

After I left the Music Howl, I took out my trusty little compass and with the help of the included set of defections, I set my course for due south. This path led me to the large building which I discovered is called the Geranium or something similiar. Anyhow, that's where all the budding athletes hang out.

Now this interested me, Joe. A fellow down at the dorm told me once that he worked out on the parallel bars at this place.

That puzzled me for a while, Joe, but not for long. I guess a guy would get quite a bit of exercise staggering from one bar across to the other bar.

Upon entering I discovered several fellows in various stages of undress playing what they called basketbawl. Guess they mean the players make a basket and the fans bawl, either in delight or distr.ess.

On the other side of the petition were several short-clad girls (Wow!) playing something called solleyball. Soiley, Joe, I didn't watch the game itself. Wow! Somehow they managed to drag me away, Joe. Then I discovered a class cailed Natural Program.

That name is very misleading, Joe, because not one' pupil was sleeping. And I ask you, Joe, what's more· natural than sleeping?

Then, Joe, I followed someone down to the swimming hole.

There they were engaged in a game called Water Polo. As near as I could figure out, ·Joe, the object of the game was to dunk as many other guys as you could.

Wringing out my shirt, 'I left the building and went to the Oak Bowl to observe football practice. Joe, that's a poor namQ. Why, in all the time I watched I saw the foot meet the ball only twice. The team was getting ready for a game with New Tamales or some such hot team. One player hurt his ankle and when the coach told him to use the whirlpool, I left Gee whiz, Joe, suppose he couldn't swim!

Anyway, Joe, I think this Whimsical Education is very interesting.

Lovemaking is very similar to the game of Chess. All you need i,s a KING, a QUEEN, and the (k)NIGHT. Unless you get ROOKED ycu will have no need for the BISHOP. However, if by an ill stroke of fate you do, chances ar you'll have to PAWN

Greer lnipressed ·

By Life's Story

_

When. consulted on J..ife's recent special issue on U.S. schools.

Dr. Edith Greer, head of the education department of Peru State Teadle:rs CoUege, was inclined to: believe that it is a very excellent hing that a national magazine uch as. "Life" would denote s:o mum space to educaticn p~ab~ lems. Dr. Greer, however, disagreed very much with one article, "Who Teache:; the Teachers?" In so much as this article relates d'.rectly to such an institution as Peru it is disturbing to ncte that certain people believe hat all state teachers are inferior o lib:a! arts colleges and universities as to equipment and acultv members. There are very ew, if any, schools .in the state nf Nebraska who rate higher in both facilities and faculty than Peru.

GOAL LINES

By Diz Miller Most of us are familiar wi the famous "long count" fig. between Jack Dempsey and G1 Tunney. In that fight . refe Dave Berry wasted five seco1 starting the count on Tunney a this cost Dempsey the chance regain his championship.

Those of you who were at Ha: ings Saturday night need not told what a few seconds c mean. In this case it was t Peru State Bobcats that lost championship by a "long coun football game.

Perhaps the timekeeper w running the dock to the best his ability. Perhaps the Bobci should have been so far ah1 that the extra touchdown wo not have made a difference. P haps the Hastings fans, Hasti players, and the four paid of ials are wrong in admitting t Peru was beaten ~by the e] time allowed the Broncos by 1 timekeeper. Perhaps the Bobe .should have made an all nii goal line stand.

We could go on fore\>er w "perhaps" but the true facts that Peru was leading Hasti 10-7 at the end of the legitim sixty minutes of play, but cause the timekeeper saw fit clock was stopped for lo enough period to ailow 1 Broncs to score.

To many it was just anotl ball game that was won or 1 by a mistake of the timekeep( but to the band of Peru roote who shivered in the stands; the Peru coaches and playe who stood helplessly on the sic lines; and to the eleven Bobe crouched desperately in a g line stand, it was a v>Tong t' never will be forgotten.

To the fine Hastings foott team we can only offer sine congratulations for their h~ clean type of football and g( :oportsmanship.

To the Bobcats say that for those game there will doubt as to who champions.

we can o who saw never be are the r

It is too bad that Mr. Tirr keeper can not know just wl those extra seconds meant to 1 "upstarts" from Peru.

Peru The new year will start the conference race with a total of 16 conference games plus a home series with Omaha lJni\·ersity.

Under Coacb Newt Kyle, Peru has won the Nebraska College ccnference championship three years in succe,sion and has been district 11 representative in the NAIB tournament in nine of 11 years. Peru can boast of a record or 62 victories and 15 defeats over the three-year period. Pros. pects for another good year are bright.

State's championship went out the window Saturday night when Hastings ~red in an "overtime period" to take a disputed M-ta victory ;m their home sod ..

The Bobcats took the opening kickoff and marched down the field for 66 yards and touchdown.

This great drive was capped when big Lavern Poppe crashed through the middle from the one yard line. LeRoy Wilson's educated toe placed the ball through the center of the uprights and Peru led 7-0.

Hastings received their first break of the game when Bruce Edwards recovered a fumble on Peru's 16-yard line. A few plays later Ed Langley went over from the two, and Bob Wilson's kick evened the score 7-7.

Peru dominated the action most of the evening and just before the half they drove to the Broncos 20-yard line where LeRoy Wilson was rushed into the game to try a field goal. His kkk was from a very difficult angle and missed only by a few inches.

The third quarter again saw the Cats threaten several tirnes before being stopped by a stubborn Hastings defense.

•~ms

The fourth period saw the Bobcats come to life. They got the ball on their own 41, when Duane Miller recovered a Bronco fumble. Dean Thiesfeld and Poppe alternated in carrying the ball to the Hastings 9-yard line before being penalized 15 yards for holding.

LeRoy Wilson was rushed into the game on fourth down and calmly booted the ball into the wind from the 30-yard line to put Peru ahead 10-7.

The game suddenly changed with only three minutes left to play. Bob Gausman fumbled, and

POHLMAN MOTOR CO.

Edwards recll1Vered on the Peru 38. · The stuboorn Bobcat defense held for three downs, but on the fourth down with seven yards to go Edwards scooted around end for 23 yards to the Peru 12.

It was at this point that Mr. Timekeeper started encounteriing his trouble getting the clock to run. For the next few plays he completely ignored the offi'eials and refused to run the clock. By this time Hastings had advanced to the !8-inch line. The officials• had spoken to the timekeeper and with apparently only enough time for one more play the Bobcats he.Id for no gain, only to discover that once again the clock had failed to run. Apparently tr.e "ettra period" was run under mdden death rules because on !he next play Langley managed to sneak over for the disputed TD and this was the signal for

the tiinekeeper to allow the clock to run without interruption.

The damage had been done and it proved much too costly for the. Bobcats and a little em• barrassing for the Broncos. · The highlight of the game wa:t easily the tremendous field goal

by LeRoy Wilson, and of course, the low point of the game was the handling of the clock.

Wilson Fires Win at York The Peru State Bobcats stepped cl-Oser to a sliare of the NCC spoils on Saturday, October 28, by smothering the York College Panthers 48-0 on their home .. field. ·The Bobcats wasted little ~e in hitting pay d.irt after reco:vering the opening kickoff. It took five plays to reach the 4-yard line and then big Laverne Poppe plowed over for the score. LeRoy Wilson kicked the first of five straight extra points and the Bobcats led 7-0.

Jim James went over standing uP for the second touchdown, after taking a lateral from Bob Gausman and rambling 10 yards.

Darrell Mudra, top scoring man in the NCC, thrilled the crowd in the second period by returning a punt 83 yards for a score. .,: .::i A short while later "Red" Wilson brought the crowd to their feet again by running an off-tackle play 54 yards from scrimmage for another TD. LeRoy Wilson faked the kick and passed to Bill Vacek for the extra point.

"Red" Wilson opened the second half with a bang by running the kickoff back 86 yards to score.

The Wheelermen then took to the air and a 33-yard LeRoy Wilson to Jerry Comstock pass, and an 11-yard Gausman to James aerial produced the other second half touchdowns.

York threatened but once, and lost the ball on a fumble at Peru's 25.

Coach Al Wheeler used 40 players in an attempt to keep the score from getting out of hand.

He also found a much needed place-kicker in LeRoy Wilson who kicked 5 for 6 and passed for tht! seventh extra point.

The breakaway running of the Bobcat backs, and the crisp downfield blocking ot the forwcirci Wall highlighted the game.

East New Mexico Formidable· Foe The Peru Bobcats will be idle this Saturday as they await the outcome of the N.C.C. football race. With faint title hopes still glimmering, the team will be pointing now toward the Nevember 18 game with Eastern New Mexico University, at Portales.

The Greyhounds will probably be champions in the tough New Mexico Conference and this, along with :ENMU Coach Al Garten's statement, "I'm as proud of the 1950 football squad as any football team I've ever coached," should be enough word of warning to prepare the Bobcats for a real battle. The meeting will be a good measure of intersectional football because the Bobcats are one of the local small college powers.

Questionable Timekeeping (Continued fr.om Page 1) to recognize the allegations of the Peru representatives and .the timer, the Hastings College 'instructor, disclaimed any irregu larity in timing procedures.

Members of the Peru delegation offered to present the informal protest to the game officials or to an impartial board for settlement. The Peru suggestion was not adopted.

Coach AI Wheeler said Tuesday that a desision as to whether a formal protest will be filed with the Nebraska College Conference Committee has not yet been made.

Rock Port :FaUs To Bobkittens The Peru Prep Bobkittens, led by versatile Duane Rains, smothered Rock Port 24-0 last Friday night at Rock Port.

After recovering a fumble in the first quarter on Rock Port's 29-yard line Prep opened the scoring with a Rains to Applegate pass covering the last 15 yards of -th~ initial drive. Moments later Rains had an 80-yard pl!Iit return called back.

Rains carried 40 yards on an end sweep for the second tally.

With the score 12--0, Rock Port came back, caught Prep's safety napping, and fired a long pass to the Peru 5-yard line where the Bobkittens · held and took over the ball on downs.

After i n t e r m i s s i o n Rains slanted off tackle for the third Peru TD and ran 80 yards on a fake kick to close out the scoring.

Goose Applegate picked off some crushing blocks and Robert Palmer, 126 pound guard, fired the Prep defense.

Duane Rains started the Bobkittens off with a bang by rambling 59 yards for a touchdown. on the fourth play of the game.

The try for extra point, a Majors to ~ppleate pass, was incomplete and Peru led 6-0.

A few minutes later Majors treated the fans to the first of many successful passes, and hit Rains for a touc,hdown. Majors try for extra point was no good.

Once again Majors failed on the extra point The most spectacular play came a few minutes later when.

Majors intercepted a Tarkio pass on his own 30 and lateraled to Rains who wove his way back to the Tarkio 25. On the next play Majors pitched to Henning in the end zone for six points. Rains kicked the extra point.

Tarkio ended the scoring when Freeman threw to Thacker for a T.D. and then kicked the extra point to ring the score to 31-13.

'Freeman was. the standout of the Tarkio team. Majors threw three touchdown passes. and Rains, averaging 13.6 yards per carry, were the standouts for the Bobkittens.

Duane Rains, sensational Prep halfback, has been sidelined by a sore back, and it is doubtful if he will play this week against Essex, Iowa.

Leaders on the PSTC campus for four years, Robert "Red" Wilson and Ken "Pole" Taylor, were elected by the 1950 Peru State football squad as honorary captains of this year's exceptionally fine Bobcat eleven. Both boys were strong candidates for all NCC honors.

North P1atte can be proud of these boys who can be seen almost any evening frying hamburgers, washing dishes, or cutting up in the Bob-Inn. When not working to defer college expenses, it is evidenced by high academic marks that Red

McKnight Speaks

At LR.C. Convo "Patriotic participation is to governm2nt affairs as blood is to life," Senator John McKnight of Auburn told students and faculty members at a National Education Week con vocation Thursd<'!Y morning, November 9. ''A democratic government is not effecuve unless people take part in it." Mr. McKnight said.

The National Education Week program was sponsored by the International Relations Club with Jess Ray, head of the organiza- · tion, presiding. Professor David Jlflickey led the convocation in $ln;:;ing. Dr. C. M. Brown, sponsor of the club, read the an11ouncements of the day and Rev. D.

charged_ with the task of providing the services which the people of the state need and want.

However, the desires of the people must be balanced against actual need and the willing ability to pay for the services desired, Senator McKnight conckded.

Becoming a professional singer in concert, church work, operatic groups and oratorio, Mrs. Hart toured the nation and Canada three times, visiting every state in the union.

Mrs. He>rt is forid of operas and has attended the Metropolitan ·Operas many times. She has had the distinction of singing in Carnegie Hall in concerts on various occasions. Her love. of opera has been stimulated by her ability to sing in three foreign languages, German, French and Italiari.

After the death of her husband Mrs. Hart moved to Omaha to live with her son, RDbert, who was attending Creighton University. Robert is now a pro!es..<Uonal singer of radio and television.

Mrs. Hart chose Peru Slate to complete work on her. A.B. degree because she likes the rural atmc·sphere of the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

Mrs. Hart will appear as Littie Buttercup in the forthcoming l'.ght opera "H.M.S. Pinafore," to be presented at the auditorium on December 14.

The state ,government is concerned with highways, assistance, education, and institutions. These four categories encompass a large part of state governmental activity, the speaker said.

She began her study of music at the College of St. Teresa at Winona, Minn., and later attended the Chicago School of Music. Moving eastward to New York, Mrs. Hart was privileged to be a student at the renowned Julliard Music School where she studied conducting under the famous Wilhouskey. While in New York, Mrs. Hart also was honored . by the private instruction in voice of Amy Ellerman.

Darrell Mudra Makes All-NCC Darrell Mudra, righl halfback for the Bobcats, has been chosen on the All-NCC team for 1950.

Big Darrell was the leading point maker for the Cats and ranked second to Wes Hultquist of Wesleyan for conference scoring honors. Darren is an Omaha boy and has earned four letters from Peru.

Bob Gausman, the Cats' quarterback, made the second team, and Fred Thomas, Frank Masek, Dick Webb, Ken Taylor, Laverne P,oppe, and "Red" Wilson all were given honorable mention.

The World Herald All-NCC team appears on page 3.

The Prep seniors presented their class play, "Seventeen Is Awfully Young," a comedy in three acts by Ruth and Nathan Hale, Tuesday night, November 21 at the College Auditorium.

There were six leads in the play.

These were carried by Carol Morgans, Patti Jo Mann, Janet Baker, Richard Steiner, Stan Longfellow and Ray Simpson.

It was the story of the Eliot sisters: Jan (Patti Mann) the favored pampered darling, and Nicki (Carol Morgans) the mouse.

The Eliots had just moved to a small town and Jan was in revolt. At Rosstown she had been selected most popular gir1 in high school so it was quite a letdown to enroll ill a school of only thre hundred,.._that is until ,she saw Jack Westmore (Stan Longfellow). Nickie saw him too and immediately she began to day dr·eam about a fairy godmother who would make her into an attractive and popular girl overnight. Surprisingly she did come and she was, o.f all things,

a school teachers, a Miss Tilby (Marcella Schnieder). She had an amazing gift for cataloging people ancl putting them exactly where they belonged.

She gave Nicki some instructions on the art of securing a boy frield The only trouble was that it worked too well and she got three of them. Getting rid of them was something that even Miss Tilby couldn't do.

A thumbnail sketch of the whole situation disolves itself into a tussell between brawn, beauty and brains, with brains coming out on top for a change.

There was plenty of exdtment created with Gopfer (Richard Steiner) the football hero and Jan, the double crossing sister who would resort to anything to keep Jack Westmore.

The group was sponsored by Miss Anna Lee Stensland and directed by Reggie Fritchle.

Others in the cast were: Beverly Perry, Lena Blankenship, Bill Sayer and Ronnie Reeves.

Todcul ... s Wornan on Offensiue When asked the question, "W'hat is the matter with Peru State women?" Dr. Heidegger, head of the Psychology department at Podunk University, replied, "Your situation here is similar to that faced on every campus in the country. The young women of this age are quite different from those encountered in my youth. It seems that the majority of young women are no longer seeking an education in die arts but are trying to acquire a skill in trapping a man. W11y I've occasionally met young girls who were so brutally, insolently, willfully indifferent to the arts which make civilization, that ~hey ought to have been clothed in the skins of wild beasts and go about barefoot with clubs over their shoulders. Yet tliey were of polite origin, and their parents were at least respectful of the things that tl1ese young animals despised."

The natural existance of man chasing woman has been reversed and now woman chases man. In the first place it is hard to distinguish women in jeans and boyish occupations as the fairer sex. Secondly, if a woman wants a man she can manufacture a way to get him, and brother. what chance has a weak-willed innocent male when subjected to an experienced female?

Further investigation into this situation may or may not be suitable ryading material for red-blooded American ni:anhood. However, we hope that the young males in this jnstitution will recognize the looming disaster, examine their defenses and devise a stronger resistance to this at· tempted subjugation of man.

Peru Prep rang up a 26 to 7 win over Essex Friday, November 10 to close their conference schedule as undefeated champs.

Only one defeat blotted an otherwise perfect season, that being a one point decision to Pawnee City, ·~outheast Nebraska champs.

Friday night Prep jumped into an early lead as Duane Rains pulled down a twenty .yard Rodger Majors pass to end a 80 yard scoring drive. Bennett smashed over the extra point and Peru was leading 7-0.

In the scond period however, "Punchie" Linder's eleven moved back into contention driving 60 yards to a score. Royal climaxed the drive with a twelve yard scoring effort. The extra point was good, tying the score 7-7.

These 12 seniors alone have earned 37 varsity football letters from "Ole Peru," and a leading roll in the searon's success.

Coach Wheeler got an arlYunce notice of how hard these boys will be to replal:e when Ilarrell Mudra, the team's leading scorer, and Bob Gausman, quarterback deluxe, were hit by the injury jinx and were unable play against the Grayhounds of Xew Mexico.

Field Goal Not Enough For Peru or Wayne Win Peru and Wayne, both teachers colleges, entered the final week of the football season with identical conference records of five wins and one loss. Each needed a win to cirich a tie for the conference championship.

Both teams were favorites and both teams jumped to early leads via fieiC goals, the first and only field goals kicked in the conference the entire year. Ironicallv both teams were victims of a la;t minute touchdown. Peru and Wayne ended their conference ;_:ilay deadlocked in second place with five wins and two losses.

Peru seeing their conference hopes endangered quickly moved back into the lead. Essex's kickoff was returned to Peru Prep's 35. On the second .play from scrimmage Rains sprinted 60 yards for the touchdown. A Majors to Fred Applegate pass was good for the extra point and Peru was again leading 14 to 7.

It was midway in the thirc

quarter before Prep could score again. After pushing the ball from their own 15 to midfield, John Hennings broke loose on a 45 yard gallop before being hauled down from behind on the five yard line. On the next play Rains went over standing up and the score read 20 to 7. The try for point was no good.

Peru's final tally came in the fourth quarter on Henning's 30 yard run. The try for point failed and the final score read Peru

Prep 26, Essex 7.

Essex mustered a last ditch scoring drive but ran out of gas on the ten yard marker.

Pa1mer and Simpson showed strength on defense along with Fritz Applegate.

Prep received an alternate bid to the J.C. Bowl at Maryville, Mo. Later they were notified that the first choice team had accepted.

The Grayhounds took to the air in the second period and a Jack Barron to Rex ·Orman pass produced a touchdown that tied the game 7-7 at the halftime.

Wayne Calhoun, who outshone his '"All American" teammate, operied the second half by running the kickoff back 86 yards for a TD. ENMU missed the extra point and led 13-7.

Coach Wheeler introduced the entire squad and presented blankets to the 12 senior members.

Coach Newt Kyle was introduced and followed the hard breaks this years team had encountered in the past. He compared the misfortunes of the team to the misfortunes encountered in life. He added greatly to the gaiety of the evening with a short story about Coaches Wheeler and Gilbert and a ceci:ain disrespectful bird.

Line Coach Paul Gilbert next thanked the squad and pointed out that he hoped they had learned from the tough breaks of the past season the type of person not to be. He also pointed out some of the highlights of various trips.

HMS Pinafore Budget Event Versatile Moran Has Second Lead The music department at Peru ;State in conjunction with the dramatics and home economics departments are presenting the opera "H.M.S. Pinafore" by Gilbert and Sullivan at 8:15 p.m~ December 14 in the college aud.itorium at Peru.

In a thumbnail sketch of the last of the four leads, the first three having appeared in previous issues, we cannot do justice to a very ambitious young member of the cast. Maurice Moran, 19 year old junior from Scottsbluff, received some of his early musical training from J. Q. Lotspeich when attending high school at Scottsbluff. Mr. Lo\speich, Ii.ow 'h'.eadof the fihe arts division at Peru, is probably the big reason why Maurice matriculated here.

Chuck Smith

Maurice, a master at the organ, is studying voice and also some of the other instruments. He is !director of music at Stella and.

Nemaha high schools where he works with both the hand and choir. He is also im important cog in a local ban-0. This int&· esting side line is remunerative enough to defer expenses. that his scholarship doesn't cover.

With a yen for administration as well as music, Mau.rice has al· ways been high on the honor roil with straight A's several semesters.

All high schools in this area are being invited to attend this event and it is hoped that the weather will permit a major share of students to come.

Ronald Kucera Gains Annapolis Appointment Ronald Kucera of Douglas is one boy who doesn't have to worry about how he stands in the draft.

For Ron, who is a Peru State sophomore, will enter Annapolis' Naval Academy in June of 1951.

He received his appointment through Hugh Butler, Nebraska senator.

Ron graduated from Ohiowa High School in 1949, and received a scholarship to Peru State. He is a math major, and earns will go to Kearney has been active in dramatics, 'ember 9 for another meet. me, and band.

Are You Missing the Boat?

You Can Still Enter Contest The scene is approximately 10 years from this date and you are talking with the wife about the good old days at Peru State, especially the 1950-51 term. And during the course of the conversation you mention John Q., the fellow you used to drink cokes with. It seems that the little woman doesn't recall John right off hand, so you dash to the bookcase, grab the Peruvian, blow dff the dust and proceed to show her his picture.

Well, she remarks foat he looks like a drip to her and you hasten to explain that the formal picture doesn't portray his, true personality. Then you thumb rapidly through the rest of the annual in a vain attempt to find a "good" picture of John Q. But, alas ,there is none.

R. A. Quelle, dean of the college at Peru State announced that seven students have been selected to be listed in the Who's Who among Students in American Universities and College,,.

The campus faculty committee had approved the group early in November. Confirmation was received this week that Jackie Cole, Nebraska City: Robert Eilers, Panama; Omer Meeker, Mitchell; Marion Pratt.

Looking Ahead

NUMBER 6

Boy, do you ever cuss that inefficient Peruvian staff? Wow! Is the air ever blue? And then you remember that one party when John Q. was so hilarious.

You tell wifey how he posed in that silly skirt and. you took a picture of it. Picture? Egadl Too late you remember the. photo contest the Peruvian had that rear. If you had only entered that picture, you would have a picture to show the M-issus. Why, heck! You might ha\"6 even won the contest!

Take heed, guys and gals, and submit your entry in the contest immediately. All students except the Peruvian staff members, are eligible. Send in a good picture on campus life and maybe you'll have that five-dollar first prize besides some good p'.ctures to look at in the years to come.

57-53. The v;in gave the Wildcats firs~ championship and rn0rked second year in succession that the Bobcats have been rnnne:·-up. Culver Stockton also pro:2ctcd ;i:; undefeated record on the home maples now running in the fourth season.

The game was as close as the score indicates, and the lead mo\·ed back and forth the entire first half. Bornschlegl's set shot tied the score 28 all as the half ended. The Bobcats opened the second half in sluggish fashion.

Culver Stockton, laking acivantage of Peru's numbness, quickly moved to a five point advantage, the biggest margin of the ball game, but too large for Peru to overcome.

The Wildcats, with a five point lead, then began to use their control type game to advantage with their star guard Bob Logan in the quarterback position. This caused Peru to foul in attempting 1o steal the ball and enabied the Wildcais to move· to their four point triumph. Meeker lead Peru scorers with 19 po.ints while Bob Legan sparked Culver Stockton with 18.

The all toun:ey selection consisted cf Pet ci's Omer Meeker, and Chuck Smith, R.obert Logan and Bill Turner of CulverStockton, Jack Pensinger of Western, Ill., and James Mathews of Simpson.

tet's Work Together Coach The editorial policy of the Ped may lean a bit to the students when we have a faculty versus student gripe, but 1 feel that Coach Kyle dealt one off the bottom of the deck when he wouldn't ~mit some prospective coaches to a recent varsity scrim'lnage.

I believe that those Physical Education majors who do not participate in varsity basketball can gain a lot of information as observers.

Certainly boys who have worked all year at football and feel themselves to be a part of the college athletics deserve more of an explanation than a shrug of the .shoulders.

Something might be gained by charting such a scrimmage. There is no end to the posisibilities in this area and an intelligent coach could utilize enthusiastic 1 assistance.

Peru has a reputation for producing superior coaches but it will be a short lived one if the prospective· coaches coming out of Peru have to get all of their basketball out of theory classes. !\(

Social Life N2eds Few tlHot Licks" - - Someone had better call Arthur Murray, for evidently no one on the "Campus of a Thousand Oaks" cares about dancing.

The social life on the gampus has hit a new low. This is very hard to explain because the campus spir:it is excellent and surely, with so many enthusiastic people around, some· thing can be done.

In the past most of the Bobcat home victories were cele· brated with a victory dance. We have just let our most suc· <:essful football season in ten years slip by w.ithout one such celebration.

Surely you upper classmen haven't forgotten the gay times had at such festivities as the Harvest Moon' Ball, the Snow Whirl, th.e Sadie Hawkins Hops, the Mystery Ba!J and many others. These have all been held first semester in years past, but ~is.wear we have not been blessed with ,a single one of these activities and to my knowledge no such :activity has been planned for this ·first semester.

It is true that these all featured "name'' bands but in past years the Music Club has had a fine school dance band that provided the kick for rally and victory dances·. Surely when we can justly boast of the finest music department in the state we could once again organize a school band to fur· nish the "Hot Vicks."

Let's get the witlls of Old Peru rockin' with the blare of a sol.id dance band. It has been done before, so let's do it again.

Thanks! Chamber of Commerce The students of the college would like to express their thanks to the Peru Chamber of Commerce for the pancakes devoured at the annual Pancake Day in Peru. They would also like to thank them for the invitation!s sent to their par· en ts to attend. The pancakes were good!

This group of commuters journey from the surrounding towns of: Humboldt, Julian, Auburn and Nebraska City. They travel <listances ranging from 24 to 60 miles every day.

Their means or transportation include cars, trucks and even the well-known crooked thumb.

This is a problem they have all faced when sharing cars, dovetailing their schedules. · The dean of these travelers is Jess Ray. He has attended three summer sessions and four regular semesters by car and has rolled up an impressive mileage total of 22,890 miles. Jess is a senior and has Nebraska City as his home base.

Six seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen mark the divisions of the traveling troupe. They claim to have missed very few days of school,

GOAL

For you Bobcat faithfuls who will be yellng for the baske\ball team for the first time this year, I would like to give a glimpse of their recorq, that is truly something to yell about.

In me past tnree seasons the Bobcats have won 44 conference games while dropping only four.

Wayne turned the trick twice in the 47-48 season, Kearney was the only team to win in the 48-49 season and only Hastings could get the job done last year. Need, I add that Peru has won the conference crown the past three years in a row. The ,Cats have played a total of 75 games in the last three years. Although they played scme of the fas1test competition in the midwest they haw been victorious 63 times while losing only 12. Newt Kyle and his team have represented Nebraska in the National Tourney at Kansas City for the past three years.

This year's schedule speaks for it:>elf as to the type "of competition the Bobcats have been meeting. Excluding the possibility of playing in the National Tourney again, this year's squad will meet teams from eight different states.

We are not braggng; we are just p/ain proud. So, when the team comes on the floor against Baker U., let's give them a big hand. They reserve it.

Basketball Tourney (Continued from Page 1) The Peru Bobcats dumped Simpson College of Iowa in the first round of the Four State Tournament at Canton, Mo., last Thursday night. The score was 78-64. Simpson tallied six points before Peru could connect, but at the four minute mark Bornschlegl's1 bucket put the Bobcats ahead to stay.

Peru moved to a 38-31 lead in a sluggish first half. The Bobcats, fresh from the halftime rest, quickly caught fire with Born,schlegl and Meeker carrying the scoring load, and moved to a 60-38 lead midway of the final !Stanza. The fast breaking Bob, cats were then content to run out time, winning 78-64.

Bornschlegl and Me~lie topped Peru scoring with 21 and 17 respectively, while "Red" Smith excelI~d as Peru's playmaker.

Veteran Bob Eilers and sophomore Bob Davis showed Peru fans that the Bobcats are well fortified at the pivot position.

Charles Kerr was the standout for Simpson..

H.MJS. Pinafore, Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, attracted the larges:t budget event crowd in recent history last Thursday night in the Auditorium. Those attending were rewarded with a worthwhile evening's entertainment.

The four leads, if we can single out the heavier vocalizers as leads, were Pat Benford, Benny Duerfeldt, Eugenie K. Hart, and Maurice Moran. Mrs. Hart, stage wise and experienced, was probably the most polished performer in the cast as Little Buttercup.

Pat, !he captain's daughter, and Benny, a seaman who later captains the Pinafore, are definitely a pair of comers. Both have fine voices and dramatic abiLty, but still retain some of the rough edges that come with youth.

A Letter To Santa Claus.

Dear Santa,

I have tried awtully hard to be a good boy the past year so would like to drop a few hints on some of the things you might bring on your visit to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

As for myself I don't want much, but as I graduate in January I do need a coaching job.

As you know Frank Leahey is all washed up at Notre Dame and then there is Minnesota and Ohio State. Just to prove I am not choosey any one of the three will do.

There are many other deserving ~ouls here at Peru so I will just mention a few.

Bring Mr. Gomon a journalism class that is never in error and always has their work in on time. · Bring Newt Kyle and his Bobcats their fourth straight NCC championship and let Newt gain his second national title at Kan-

much more experience. The first team came out with victory on three of their four debates to ease th 2 losses of the other two teams. But it was evidenced that Peru has some up and coming debaters who will be hard for anyone to beat.

Floyd Fithian and Paul Johnston ,the Peru veterans, have won six out of seven debates this year against top notch competition.

The next debate will be at Doane on the second and third of February, 1951.

Give Coach Gilbert a dozen 200 pound linemen.

Give both Mr. Mathews and the senior class a break by providing a never ending list of jobs to be had upon graduation.

Don't Forget the True

~Aeaning

of Christmas

Once annually, from out of the chaotic turmoil of this world, emerges something beautiful. This "something beautiful" is a light in the darkness-a gleaming ray of courage :and optimism that pervades the black depths of evil, and gradually consumes the whole world.. I speak of the ChfistUlas spirit. It is that cheer to the sick and sorrowing, and :a general feeling of hope and uplifting to all hearts.

God anticipated this when He sent His Son to earth, but I doubt that He intended it to come into existence only once annually. Think how lovely it would be if everyone had the "Christmas Spirit'' all year long! I can't help but . think that it would. solve many of today's problems.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we always felt as hopeful ·and inspired as we do at Christmas time?

You have already been reminded many ·times not to "forget the ·true meaning of Christmas"-but I don't think we do. I doubt if the reason for this sudden burst of cheer is the fact that we anticipate gifts on the twenty-fifth, and all th.e parties and gaiety of the Yule ·season can't he re· sponsible either.

Certainly, they help--but what makes the feeling really beautiful is that deeper sense that comes from within.

Sometbing wonderful happens in our hearts. It's a combina· tion of that good feeling we get when we do something nice for someone, (isn't it blessed to give?) and when some· one does something especia.lly nice for us, (isn't it also blessed to receive?)

all

The Christmas Spirit is a culmination of of these things: truth, kindness, charity, faith, generosity, and tol· erance. If we would practice these qualities every day, perhaps we can capture something of the Christmas Spirit aH year 'round.

Joe, I attended my first college basketball game the other night over in the college James. It was . between the Battling. Bobcats Peru and the Austin Kangeroos of Texas<. (Hmm. Must have written this at the last minute.)

Kangeroos, eh? Well, Joe, I was all in flavor of whipping t~m 'cause thy must have been the originators of' those Kangeroo courts we had.

When I went in one fellow beat me on the hand and made a black mark which he s.aid was , for re-entering purposes. I'll have to be real careful taking my bath next month, Joe, and not let it come off. I then crawled up on the bleachers and after falling through twice, I finally seated myself with my knees in someone's1 back.

Every once in a while some kids would get up in front and everybody would yell at . them.

They must have wanted them to sit down. They called them sneerleaders, I think. In addition. to this noise, continued outbursts came from a section of boys in blue jackets. They said they drowned 400 sons and daughters in the Missouri River or 9"ihlethinir.

Then those Texas boys came on the floor, and Joe, do you know they actually took off their · ten-gallon hats and their highheeled boots.

At the half time I saw a crowd \,over in one corner and figuring to get in on the fight I hurried over. When I got into the middle they just took a dime away from me and gave a cup of Choke ..

After I struggled back to my seat, I heard the Pep band, who was led by a student dissector.

I think that PEP stands f_or Party for Erupting Peace.

I heard some guys talking . about another home game. which i:~ with. if you will pardon the expression. Hastings. It seemed they thought that a certain timekeeper should be burned in ectasy.

When the game was over everybody cheered like mad, Everyone, that is, except the Texans. They di.dn't seem very happy for some' reason.

Negro MusJcian Led Hectic Life The Negro minstrel who wrote "Goodnight, Irene" was on our campus a year ago last summer and sang that now popular song at his appearance in our auditorium. Ruddie Ledbetter, commonly known as "Lead Belly," was a guest artist on July 7, 1949, presenting ·a program of Negro folk ballads and work songs.

The students found it hard to understand his dialect and the meaning of his songs, for he sang 0f a world unknown to them.

Hard-drinking, hell-raisini;; Lead Bell~, had been convicted three times for knife assaults and manslaughter and had only been tamed by success and his sponsor, the late ballad-collecting J' ohn Lomax.

Lead Belly was sick during his visit at Peru and sang his songs with a rough. grainy and nasal tone while sitting in a chair, but his guitar playing was outstanding. He called himself "king of de twelve-string guitar players of de world."

Six months after Peru,- he died at the of a rare bone '(prison SO·B.g"

The Peru State basketball team got a jump on the rest of the holiday vacationers and 1e ft Grand Island Sunday morning for a week of basketball in the east.

Four seems to be the magic word on this trip as the team plays four different schools in four different states on four con. secutive nights.

The team practiced at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, Monday night and tackled their team Tuesday night. This game means a great deal to Coach Al Wheeler of the Bobcats as he h an alumnus of Oberlin College.

Coach Kyle watched with · quiet interest as .Bill Voegtle, a Hamline transfer, and La Von Kovault, scooting little guard, ,led the reserves to a win over the Baker subs in their first outing. Voegtle's performance in this game has. him pressing some of the varsity for a spot on the traveling squad.

Gilbert's "B" team couldn't keep pace with an Offutt Field squad which has been playing a lot of varsity clubs, and winning.

Clayburn Named '50 Man of Year Interest in youth, as indicated by his work as Scoutmaster of Peru's Boy Scouts, has brought the 1950 Peru's Man of the Year award to A. B. Clayburn, professor of geography and geology at Peru State.

Although the award is made by the Peru Pointer, it is really the consensus of the Peru t:Jwnspeople's. opinion.

Mr. Clayburn has worked with the boys of Peru for· over a quarter of a century and has had a definite influence on boys throughout the state by his work in summer camps and camporees.

His achh~vements in this field reached a climax last June and July when he was named by Nebraska Cornhusker Council of the :Soy Scouts ·of America to be troop leader at the international encampment at Valley Forge, Pa.. which was attended by around 47,000 scouts.

Mr. Clayburn has also served his community as one of the town trustees.

Mr. Clayburn is a graduate of Kearney State, received his A.B. rnd A.M. from the University of Nebraska and has done graduate work at the University of Chicago and the University of Nebraska. He has authored several geography textbooks.

The 1951 March of Dimes lo secure funds for the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is shaping up throughout the nation today. The need for contributions is more acute than ever before in the history of the ·Foundation. Because of a latefall epidemic of the disease, the n,;tional treasury has been operating with a deficit. The present drive must not only wipe out this deficit but must also build up a working balance for the ensuing year.

Students and raculty of the college are urged to make their voluntary contributions as soon and as often as possible. The familiar coin collectors are now in place to receive your dimes and dollars. Personal contributions may also be turned to James B. Steele, chairman of the local fund-raising committee. Join the March of Dimes today~ Even in these inf.lated times a dime still does a man-sized job towards helping some boy or girl to walk again.

Bubble Ball January 27 The annual Girls' Prom will be held Saturday evening, January 27, in,, the Gym. It is a "Ladies' Choice Ball" and anyone may attend. Tickets can be purchased for $2.00 a couple. The "Bubble Ball" is something to !o<>k for-. ward to, according to the plans of the Eliza Morgan Dorm Council who are sponsoring it.

A.A.U.W. Dr. Way1'e O. Reed, a delegate to the mid-century \Vhite House Confeence on Childhood and Youth, discussed twentieth century problems at an open meeting of the American Association of University Women in the Mus• ic Hall, January 9. The business meeting was omitted in order that the time might be spent in hearing Dr. Reed report on his recent trip .. fo Washington.

Those attending included members of the AAUW, faculty, students, and members cf the local PTA. LUTHERAN CLUB A pamphlet "How We Got Our Bible" formed the basis for discussion at the Lutheran Club on January 10 in the Music Hall.

School Spirit Hitting Skids - - We were recently picking apart the school spirit which was below par for this campus as a result of the Korean war. Since that time tension has mounted with the added .international problems and we have had a corresponding dip in our school spirit.

Classroom attendance has been poor, nobody goes to convocaton unless they are unfortunate enough to be on the convocation program. The campus activities that used .to be so prolific are a thing of the past. The men sit around waiting for their draft calls and the girls sit over in Eliza Morgan feeling sorry for themselves because they didn't make hay while the sun was shining. It seems that some fellas are operating on the theory, "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we may go to the army."

This has all got to come to a screeching halt! We never had it so good. Here we are feeling sorry for ourselves when we can pick up any newspaper or magazine and read about people who are really having it tough.

I think an awful lot of my country. I think the demo· cratic way of life is the only answer for this troubled wodd and although our fluctuating foreign policy burns me the core, I'm still going to fight for what I know is right If we are going to have extended chaos (and it doesn". look like there will be any overnight answer to our Red troubles) we ought to resign ourselves to those conditions.

We will be the new leaders of this nation and if we are to se'tie this confusion now is the time to prepare ourselves for it.

'Let's carry the spirit that we have at basketball games into the classroom and onto the campus. Let's not go away with 25 per cent or SO per ~nt when 100 per cent is ours for the taking. Your budget events, basketball gan1es, dances, and other college activities are costing you money.

You can't afford to miss them. Each course you take casts you $1.SO per hour. Make that instructor give you 60 minutes worth. Each hour of procrastination drops you a rung on rhe ladder of success. Lets make decisions and kill that thief of time.

We have a long hard row to hoe. The ground is soft now and the weeds pull easily. Let's start pulling together.

STUDENTS ENTER.TAIN rSix students from the State Teachers College at Peru entertained the state legislator's wives and their families at the Governor's reception Thursday afternoDn in the capital city.

The group was under the direction of J. Quinn Lotspeich, head of the Fine Arts Division on the campus. ·Feature solos were given by Carol Duerfeldt on the flute, and Garth Emigh on the piano.

The program featured a mixed quintette composed of Pat Benford, Miss Duerfeldt, Dorothy Meister, Benny Duerfeldt, and Maurice Moran. Mr. Emigh was the accompanist.

Over in one corner I disco\·ered a bunch ·Clf students bending over the tab;e. Ah, probably a group of intellectuals discussing the world situation. But to my surprise, an investigation revealed that they were reading the >j)Crts page and expounding the thellry :hat Joe Louis could beat Ezzard Charles any oecond Tuesday of the week.

I gave up on that and sta:·ted to leave. But then I saw stairs leading upward. Upon ascension I peered into a room where a student was threatening another's life beneath a curtain which said PDC. Yep, Joe, I agree. Pretty Dangerous. Course. I learned later that it was a class in Du:i:an'ics.

I crossed the hil; and found the workshop of Peru's Rembrandts and Gainsbo:·ougts. I enjoyed all this until I can;e across the work a junicr Sah·ador Dali, which sca_red me so that I ran from the building.

The battling Bobcats of Peru thrilled a record crowd by riding the Hastings Broncos to a 69-61 stand-still for an all-important basketball victory last Friday night. The victory was a giant stride toward a fourth straight Nebraska C o 11 e g e <:;onference championship for the · Bobcats.

It ended a nine game winning streak by the Broncos, considered to be Peru's toughest loop rival.

The Bobcats showed the results of expert coaching and were in complete control of the game from the very start. They took an early lead and throughout the entire game never relinquished it to the men from Hastings.

The Broncos were able to keep within reach of the cats most of the first half. It ended with Peru leading 34-31.

The second half found Hastings completly out-classed and only 81h minutes after it started the Cats were holding a 57-45 lead. Peru employed a very effective stall for the last 31h minutes while holding a margin of 67 to 59.

The Bobcats' defense was a standout of the evening and Bill Johnson served as one of the main cogs by holding the magic of Chuck Stickels to three baskets for the entire game.

Kylemen Smother Indians In Return Contest 78-47 The Bobcats readied themselv-

es for a Chadron invasion this weekend by clipping a not too potent Omaha U. aggregation 78-47 on the home maples last Monday night. The win was a little more impressive than the 56-53 squeak with the same team a week previous.

Peru fired in two quick buckets and was never headed as it breezed to a 21 point lead at half time. The early surge came with some deadly basket shooting by Bill Johnson and Bob Eilers who ended up with 15 and 12 points respectively. The second half

they were content to pass off and polish a well-rounded offense.

Don Bornschlegl led the scor.ing with 24 points and upped an already torrid shooting percentage. At one point in the contest he hit five straight field goals.

Omer Meeker added 20 tallies, although he was plagued with the best defensive talent the Omahans could muster, meaning Joe Arenas, the smooth working Indian guard.

Only bright spot for the invaders was a brief shooting spree

by Omaha's Larry Michaels who led the Indian scorers with 11 points.

The Peru B team succumbed to superior man power in the preliminary, losing to the Papooses 47-57.

Peru made its shots count, connecting on 24 of 66 attempts. for# a 36 percenttage. Doane hit but 21 of 107 shots from the field.

The Bobcats found little competition in the Panthers from York and Peru's starting five watched most of the game from the bench.

Peru State opened its bid for :a fourth consecutive Nebraska College Conference basketball championship by trimming Doane on its home court, 67-51.

The Bobcats were never behind but the Tigers got close enough twice during the evening to make the game interesting.

Doane moved within one point, 13-14, with nine minutes gone on Larry Tesar's set-up. Then Omer Meeker converted one of 10 straight free throws and Don Bornschlegl hit from the side to send Peru away.'

With seven minutes gone in the second period Doane narrowed the count to 39-43. Baskets

by Stan Hale and Kent Newmyer trimmed the margin but again Meek and Ba;:ney fattened the Bobcat's lead.

Peru lost a thrilling overtime battle to Oberlin in the first game of their eastern swing 67 to 64. After a sluggish first half which found Peru trailing 30-24, the Bobcats rallied to tie the count 61-61 at the end of regulation play. Eilers, missing a gratis toss that would have w:on for Peru, sent ,the game into an overtime. With Meeker, Smith and Johnson on the bench, Oberlin hit two buckets anq,. ,a free throw to win the game 67-64.

Peru's Meeker set an Oberlin field house record with 27 points to lead Peru's scoring.

Moving to Adrian, Mich., the Bobcats hit their hot spot as 'they moved passed Adrian 95-51. With Bornschlegl and Meeker leading the way, Peru led from start to finish to win. Peru's fast break featured the victory.

Peru then moved to Indiana to down Manchester College 73 to 69. The Bobcats jumped to an early lead and kept it throughout the game. Meeker and Bornschlegl led Peru with 24 and 20

Progress Reported

On Campus .Repairs Peru's buildings and grounds s.taff has been going all-out lately and as a result has received considerable recognition f r o rn everyone who has seen definite improvement in the making.

Although Dean R. A. Quelle, in charge o.f improvement of buildings and grounds, is making no promises for this or that, he does seem optimis.tic in regard to future work. Several improvements have already been completed or are nearing completion.

Tney include: Tuck pointing the outside oi the administration building. This process consists of digging out about an inch of old mortar and replacing it with new tightly packed mortar. This process prevents mois.ture from getting between the brick, thus a sounderconstructed building. For a good example of tuck-pointing, Dean Quelle suggests a close look at the stage wall of tthe auditorium.

The commercial room has been decorated and new fluorescent lighting has been installed.

Condensation gutters and weep holes have been installed on the windows of the gymnasium to prevent moisture from running on the windows and· floors.

New copper gutters and rain spouts were installed last week on the Music Hall. They are unique in that snow slides will not interfere, but they will carry away melted sno·W and rain.

Many of the rooms in the T. J. Majors training school are more impressive due to recent paint jobs. Sb: students have assisted in this undertaking which will eventually cover every room in the training s.chool. In addition, the sewer of the laboratory school has been rebuilt.· The return pumps of the heating 'plant have been lowered and the storage capacity for conden-· sed water intreased so'·water may be recused in the boilers. ··Cinders· haH~. been .placed :on th(l parkjng lQt east ot Delzell .

The anticipated sharp drop in second semester enrollments at Peru State Teachers College failed to materialize a stotal registrations for the last session of the regular 1950-51 term reached 344 compared to a peak en:·olJment of 360 during the firs,t semester. The loss of 18 students at the close of the first period is five fewer than che redu~tion a year ago.

I\ ioss of 1l ptr cent in enroll:llent between semesters is normal, according to Registrar L. B. J.Vfathews. Registration figures reveal that the present loss is only f;ve pe: <"C"llt, ,1nc' compares very fa\·orably with 1 the. 6.1 per cent loss at the close of \:be first semester of 1949-50.

The loss of 15 students through enlistment in the armed services has been more t~~n offset by the enrollment of ~-~rsons .for the Iirst time this~mester. The 18student, drop includes 12 who were lost through graduation, tv:o who withdrew to attend professional schools and four who !:ave accepted teaching positions before completing their college courses.

The freshman class continues to be the largest group with 101 so classified. 52 of the freshmen are men and 49 are women. Senior men outnumber women alnD::t tl:re2 to oc~ with 63 fourth year men and 22 senior women.

The sophomore class has 73 members, 38 men and 35 women.

The junior class is the smallest with 43 men and 19 women. In addition tc the 321 classified underclassmen there is one woman post-graduate student, two men and 20 women enrolled as special students.

Eleven states and one terriiory are represented in the second semester student body. 299 students come from Nebraska, 25 :rom Iowa, four from Illinois, three each from Kansas and Missouri, two from South Dakota a.nd one each from New York, Arizona, Montana, Pennsylvania, Min.riesota and Puerto Rico.

The six who withdrew at the close of the first semester to continue work at professional school or to accept teaching positions before concluding their college coures are: Harold James, now attending law school at Drake University, Des Moines, Ia., and Lon Adams at a morticians school at Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Wilma Klein is teaching in the Elk Creek elementary school, Mrs. Nell Glynn is teaching in Kansas, Miss June Farrow is teaching in the junior high school at Sloan, Ia., and Mrs. Laurence Cox has accepted a position in one of the Omaha elementary schools.

A total of 49 veterans are enrolled under the G. I. Bill. Several of the students new to Peru this month are in this classification.

Four major reasons for an above normal enrollment during the second semester have been outlined by Registrar Mathews.

Am I a Peruuian?

I have been duly initiated and truly oriented. I've gone to lectures and laboratories as well as convocation and athletic events. I've attended parties and joineu clubs.

I've adjusted to dorm life and to college ways. I've come to know my teachers and most of the students. I've served on committees and held office.

Oh yes, and I've studied. I've followed the clanging bells and have climbed millions of steps. I've learned how to smile in the true Peruvian fashion. I've come to love £his school.

But does all this m:ake me a Peruvian? Surely some· thing more mu&t be required.

I've laughed and played and built a philosophy of life and love. I've wept my tears and built my hopes. But have I repaid with honest scholarship and true appreciation the demands for high standards and campus beauty? Have I given anything in return for the Peru friendliness that ha~ come to be my life?

Policy Announced

A new basic policy for enlistment in the arme·d services by college students providing an opportunity for students now in school to remain in college until the close of the school year and still have an opportunity to enlist in the s8rvice 0£ their choice. has recently been announced by G<"n. Gcnn:c; C. '\farshall.Secretary of Defense, upon recnmrnrndation of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for .l\fanpower '\Irs. Anna M. Rosenburg.

Acceptance of the new basic policy follow-00 conf~r­ ences with the joint chiefs of staff, members of the staff of the Secretary of Defense, Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey, with Senators Wherry and Butler of Nebraska.

Announcement of the policy was first made by Senator Wherry to administrative heads of all colleges in Nebra~ka.

Preliminary announcement of the change was made by Dr. \'\/ ayne 0. Reed, presdent of PSTC, at the senior honors convocation a week ago.

The policy is intended. to prevent the waste to the nation and the damage to the educational system that is .involved in hav'i,ng young men leave school in mid-term because they desire to en1ist in the service of their choice before they are called for pre-induction physical examination by their local draft boards.

Under the old rules no annea service would ·accept a voluntary enlistment after a man biid received notice to report for his pre-induction physical examinati<in. The new policy provides that students enrolled. in colleges or universities and thus automaticallv entitled to deferment for the school year in which they r~ceive their induction notice, shall be allowed, to the extent of available openirigs in each service, to enlist in the service of their choice at any time in the two months immediately preceding the final month of their school year. As in the past, each service w-0uld accept enlistments only to the extent that· places were open · for those who desired to enlist.

Under the new policy a young man called by selective service during the academic year could continue his studies and still retain the right to designate his choice of service ' by enlisting in die periOd ·beginning before the termination date.

Morgans ~xplains Guidance Program "Basically the complete guidance program is of a triangular design," stated ~r. Morgans when asked the objectives of the college guidance and testing program. "These three general areas are covered: ( 1) Instructional Program; (2) __Guidance Program in the College and Training School; and (3) Pilot Guidance Center Program.

Mr. Morgans rurther stated that, "The objectives are set up in terms of activities to meet the guidance needs of the students of the different levels indicated; kindergarden -primary, inter mediate, junior high, senior high, and higher education. Here in the college we are trying to get away from a guidance program by itself, but instead are trying to integrate guidance with other subject matter of the whole school plan.

Under (2) listed in the first paragraph as "Guidance Program in the College and Training School," this topic can in itself be subdivided into the following: A. Orientation B. Individual Program C. Testing program D. Counseling E. A system of records and reports F. Placement and follow-up G. Evaluation "The guidance program at Peru may be summed up as a necessary complement of the instructional program, but while the instructional phase places emphasis upon the learning of prescribed subject matter, in contrast the counseling or guidance program places its emphasis upon helping the student make wise decisions in the solution of personal problems. These problems include tho>.e which are met in order to achieve maximum growth and development in all phases of life adjustment, including perscnal, social, school, vocational, ecnomic, home, ch·ic, health, recreational, and rel:gicus adjc.'.stment," concluded ?>!:-.

The Blue and White basketeers will be out to avenge a ·61-50 ,~acing handed them at Hastings last season, their only setback in last year's conference competition. On the other hand, Coach Tom 1-'IcLaughlin's Bronco cagers , will be ireeking revenge for a 69-·61 ~efeat received at Peru three weeks ago. '. Jf Hastings wins, the Broncos take over the league lead.

String ~nsemble From France To Appear at College Feb. 20 On Tuesday, February 20, at 8:00 p.m. in the college auditorium, Puu students will be entertained by the Pasquier Trio, a string ensemble from France.

The trio is composed of three brothers: Jean, violinist, born in Tours in 1903; Pierre, violist, born in Tours in 1902; and Etienne, cellist, born in Tours in 1905.

The three brothers started their musical education at the School of Music at Tours and later continued their studies in Paris. Each one later became affiliated with one of the leading orchestras in Paris: Jean with the Pasdeloup Orchestra, Pierre with the Lamouroux Orehestra and Etienne with the Col.onne Concert Association.

They made their debut as a trio at the Salle des Agriculteurs in Paris on March 18, 1927. Then followed several tours which showed them the possioilities of international recognition and finally appeared in :London, l\filan,

Vienna, Brussels, etc., assuring for the trio an established reputation.

During one single season they played over sixty concerts including appearances_ in Holland, Belgium, Prague, Budapest, Berlin, England, as well as appearances on the radio. At present they are preparing a number of new works which will soon he pnesented for the first tme.

In America the Pasquier Trio has become a favorite in the chamber music field having made two transcontinental tours receiving the acclaim of both the public and the press. In 1940 they were booked solid for a transcontinental tour of 53 concerts. which had to be cancelled because of the war.

In presenting his resigrnition to the State Board, Dr. Reed said, "It has been a great privilege to serve the children and people of the State of Nebraska as teacher superintendent, county superin~ tendent, state superintendent and as president of Peru State Teachers College. I believe firmly in Nebraska's education program and educational future."

State Board Secretary Larson expressed the views of the Board when he said, "The Board accepts Dr. Reed's resignation with a great deal of reluctance.

PERU basketball followers who went to Hastings re· ceived a big let down when they arrived at the auditorium and stood in line for an hour (some of them two] and then were told there was standing room only or no room at all.

THEY probably wouldn't have kicked so much if the Hastings backers hadn't either gone in the pass gate or the back door, which is exactly what happened. Perhaps if the Hastings school representative hadn't written and stated that there would be no reserved seats at all and that every" one would be served on a "First Come, First Seated" basis, the situation wouldn't have been so noticeable.

PEOPLE have a way of accepting the word of a school as being true. Peru is either going to have to change its conception of the truth or Hastings is going to have to stand ·back of its conmittments.

SEVERAL students have criticized the PED for not having anything in it that's of interest to the students. The staff is willing to accept any and all suggestions at their face value, but most of these students just gripe and offer no constructive criticism whatsoever. When the students can present a solution instead of a problem the PED will make ~mendments.

TWO organizations deserve a lot of credit for their recent advancement of social /if e on the campus. They are the YMCA and the YWCA who organized the "Registra· tion Romp." Much of Peru's hidden talent was uncovered but there is probably much more still to he discovered.

Some of the other organizations could take a tip from this example.

Attention All Bachelors!!

Do you realize that the first unmarried girl whom you met this morning is destined to be you; mate? Yes, this is St. Cupid's prophecy. Brother Dan is on the loose today helping the birds select iheir mates and making men pursue women until the women catch them.

Now some men are not fit to be tied. They are bachelors. But these modern girls seem to be able to talk rings a.round the third finger of their left hands and Valentine's day is an opportune time to begin a convt.rsation. .

So beware! Some men are willing to try anything once.

There are also a lot of bachelors.

They came to my cage, the editor and the advisor, and intrigued me with a raw piece of beefsteaK. I g.rowled and you, the reader, will be sympathetic when.

I let you know the scoop.

"Write a feamre about St. Valentine's Day, you wolf," said Neal S. Gomqn, as the editor, 'Vermillion Dog' Johanns, po1':ed my sitter downer with a beckoning pitchfork.

Well, being up the filthy old creek without a paddle, I wore a path in my cage and tried very hard to concentrate. I even whistled that unpopular campus hit, "Beat Me Prexy with a Clean Report Card," but that didn't seem to -ease the situation.

I was faced with it. I had to write something on St. Valentine's Day and no source of information in view.

Not letting any time sweep by I went first to a man who also fiddles his time away. Victor 'The Fiddling Minstrel' Jindra met me at the door of the Music Hall with a "Ya, wot kan Ich do fur ya, bub?" look on his face.

"What about this thing called love?" I said. "Valentine's Day is drawing nigh."

"Well, you blankity-blank jerk, I'm really up on the theory of this love, but as far as the practice goes, bah!" "There's my first lov,e," he sighed; pointing to his violin that lay on yon table.

"Why not look ar~und the campus, son? Love manifests itself on all sides. It's all around, but it's intangible. You can't touch it."

When the darkness of tilree days finally passed,, I still didn't know anything about St. Valentine's Day. I met a stray dog on the campus. and we rubbed elbows over a cup of tea, and this· is what I learned from him: Engiish literature following Chaucer contains frequent references to St. Vakniine's Day as being sacred to lovers. In other words a day that I buy my girl a ten cent Valentine and moan because there's about a month to go before the income tax is due.

It's a custom more potent than any authority .irnown. to man (Valentine's Day-Not the income tax). On the 14th of February it was decreed that ym.mg folks of both sexes, and older ones too, should exchange missives. Quite a line, coming from a dog. A missive, dear reader, is is 'a letter. In other woids, write the goil a letter, ya better, or she won't let ya take her to Syracuse Rat Race.

For the past thirty yeaz'S I've been buying "Chinless .Amiie" a ten cent Valentine and bit bottle of perfume, 'Od@r a la Vacuum Cleaner' it's ~lli::d. All this adds up to Hl dollars and fifty cents in thirty y~ai;"'.S.

Wayne, York, Records Fat Peru State returned to winning form last Tuesday night with an impressive 86-44 triumph over a visiting Wayne quintet. In chal.!dng up their seventh NCC win the Kylemen rewrote the record book. This was a new scoring mark in a single conference game for ·the Bobcats and also a new PSTC gymnasium record.

After a close game with ney the Bobcats bounced and amassed a total of 101 p while a host Yor~ five tallie last Saturday night. This e mous point total entereci school archives as a new sco record in a single game. The mark was 95. (St. Bened' 95-50, 1989, and Adrian, 95

A determined Wildcat five rallied in the early moments of the contest, but with tweh·e minutes gone the Kylemen moved to a 31-20 lead which was increased to 47-30 at intremission. Probably the big crowd pleaser of the first half of the the game was Bill Johnson's basket from midcourt as the gun sounded ending the first half.

The Pan'.hers proved to stubborn in the early moments:!

Peru led 34-.29 with 13 minu' gone. The Cats found the ra and rolled to a 48-35 halff advantage.

Pat Benford, a junior from Peru, h«s been selected for the lead oi Joan, in the spring play, "Jmi:ni of Lorraine," by Maxwell

Hastings Questions Davis' tligibility in tarly Contest

27.

Anderson. !Pat has b3en active in dra'natics all three years of her col ~:ege career. She is also vice-president of the Student Council, a member of the Peruvian Singers, secntary of the Peru Dramatics Club, a m:omber of Sigma Tau Delta, the Music Club, Kappa D~lta Pi, and Tri Beta. She also works, in the registrar's office.

This late Anderson play is -0ne of his most beautiful works. Wifo Ingrid Bergman playing Joan of Arc, it opened in New York and had a successful run.

The set is a bare stage of a theatar during rehearsal, though later scenes include a few hints of scenery and properties. Joan wears the conventional vte.11known military costume, and some other characters wear a few ~ostumes or parts of costumes.

Oth~r characters wear modern do thing.

Most persons are familiar with the story of Joan of Arc, so that it is necessary only to say that this is a play within a play, the outer play showing a group of actors in rehearsal on a bare stage, preparing to produce a a Joan of Arc play. The story of Joan's visions and pilgrimage to court, her restoring faith to the French and the victory she wins, is beautifully dramatized; but Anderson has artfully interwoven in the Joan story a parallel action which takes place outside the Joan play proper, in which he shows the meaning of faith today, and the necessity of believing in something.

Th actress who plays Joan claims that the role should show 'her never compromising her ideals, and she is ready to leave th cast because she thinks the part and the direction of herself show Joan doing just that. .But she learns, from her director and fellow players, that ail life is a series of compromises, and th1: she herself, as an actress, Eke the historical Joan, can and should compromise on small things in order to achieve the greatest good. So, in acting her part through to the end, she learns the lesson that Joan taught the world, of great faith and idealism, even though compromise in small things is sometimes necessary.

Each person, she learns has his own kind of faith and ldealism, and from the director she earns that his particular brand comes :from the theater. He says: ''I believe in democr~cy, and I believe the theater is the temple f democracy. A democratic soiety needs a church without a reed where anybody is allowed o talil: as long as he can hold an

audience-and that is wbat the theater is."

As the rehearsal goes on, and the scenes lake place on an almost emuty s'~age, the acto:-s finally come to Joan's discovery of herself and her faith, as she faces her judges in the prison.

Edgar also pointed out that out chance of survival depended upon our scientists reaching the outer planets first, for he felt that the first power that is ;;ble to control the planets will have complete control of the world.

He pointed out that om: scientists are working upon the problem of spac,e transportation and he felt that our enemies were also working to solve the same problems.

Over 300 .Attend Annual Band Clinic Peru's eighth annual band clinic and festival organized by J. Quinn Lotspeich was held on, the campus Saturday, February 17, under the direction of guest conductor, Hugh McMillen, of the University of Colorado.

High school musicians from 31 towns in Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska attended the all day ses,sion and concert in the evening held in the gsmnasium. Due to weather conditions, two schools failed to show up but the concert band still numbered over 300.

Artistic highlight of the evening came when the guest conductor brought down the house with his trombone solos.

Another innovaton of this year's program was an exhibition by 50 baton twirlers under the direction of Miss Natala Zavrel of Omaha. Miss Zavrll and Gay Lea Harder, her three-year-old understudy, pleased .the crowd with their act.

Opinions expressed by visiting directors from other high schools were that the Peru Clinic and Festival is one of the best of its kind and they plan on returning next year.

Campus Comments IN reg·ard to the Ha stings seating situation, this editor received a letter from an irate superintendent in one of our Nebraska schools. For the benefit of my readers, a portion of the letter is reprinted below.

-·-

"I assure you that it is editorials of this type that wi!I do more to tear down our educational system than it will help. The public schools and colleges and universities in Nebraska are fighting hard for existence· and if there is disharmony and fighting among schools what can you expect of the public and the tax payer. Rather than criticize Hastings College openly it may have been better to have had your president write to the officials of the other school for an explanation or an apology and, then, if nothing was done, sever relations with the school.''

-·-

It seems hardly necessary to remind this critic that our forefathers fought for the "Freedom of the Press." If an editor cannot air not only his views but those of a hundred other students who received the same treatment, not only Peru but the whole United States is relinquishing one of its basic freedioms. As long as this reporter is alive and kicking, he shall continue to express his point of view as he sees fit.

-·-·-

Peru State's athletic department evidently isn't able to afford a new pennant to hang along side of the rest of the NCC schools at the south end of the gymnasium. The white has turned to a dirty gray, while the blue has faded considernbly. Peru, havng the best basketball team in the confer . .ence, should have a peniiant measuring up to it.

Weekends in Peru are just about as dead as they can get. Some of the various organizations on the campus could do a lot to liven tihings up if they would sponsor weekend dances or friendly get-togethers. More students would probably spend their weekends in Peru if there was something to do, instead {)If having to seek entertainment in Syracuse cl: Auburn.

···················••&•• It's high time that someone exposed this eating racket-brother! Tonight while having my daily bowl of condensed Missouri River fungus a waiter waltzed before me with a sandwich and politely gestured: "Compliments. of the house."

Yeah, but the guy didn't mention what house. It seems that the sandwich was to be something special, at any rate it brought laughter to the customers in the soup house. Maybe you too have been lucky enough to receive one of these sandwiches. They are simply too good to eat.

The Earl of Sandwich, for whom the .sandwich was named, was a man that I've always had a lot of respect for. Surely, he never had one of the above mentioned in all his days. II so. my sympathy to the Earl of Sandwich.

Eating has been a fad for a long time, so my tapeworn1 informs me. There are many in recent :-·ears who have taken on the till.e 1,f "cho.,:-r hounds." ,\mong the chow dogs of our campus are Burt Casler, who can rid<lle a meal ticket as fast as he shoots flash bulbs, and Bob "Side Dish" Lade. Then too, \\·e must not overlook our brofoers of by-gone days. The most likely to be remembered is Bob ''Botany Crum" Boesel.

Eating, it seems, has instituted the fourth and fifth nwiil5 in~o its routine. At Peru. bc:it!n:e s:c2cks are at tl:e peak of popularity. With the bedtime snac:: we associate the names of Beran, Thiesfield and Mudra. The first two mentioned specialized in the baloney sandwich, while the latter has gone into the fruit mar'.ri:et business.

In the black of nighf rt is quite a thrill to listen to tne volfc:es of the vendors. The chant of "nicea fresh-a apples" or "a w1:101e hog and a biscuit" is just the perfect line to send one off to' sfoep. As one dreamily drifts off little does he realize that those big, gray elephants and the striped donkeys will roam the room. This shouldn't happen, so it may be well to go to bed hungry. Besides you must consider the poor Nemaha County farmer whose orchard was pilfered. It's also, probable that your credit isn't sound.

In case dear reader ttat this heap of wisdom gets a thorough going ovEr by "Vermillion Dog" Johanns, I stand ready to pl;-re on sale special unabridged copies of this column. They may be had by sending a jar of pickles to the pickle man. I'll repeat, "Dill, the pickle man, Del Rio, Texas."

You will be sent your latest coµy of this dirt sheet, plus a gob of mayonaise to spread on your , baloney sandwiche!.

Last of all we salute the •:moonlight riders," those chaps already mentioned. These vendors, as w;; go to press, were reported dcing very nicely. Mudra,. who ret~red from the ni;·.vsp<per game, has gone to Florida for a load of oranges, while Beran and "Big Dean" are fencing in a plot of ground east of Delzell Hall to raise a few white rocks. Garbage can't be wasted you know. White Rocks, (chicken to you) are fine bir<ls.

Some dumb clucks really p~ck away to get in print, do they not?

Regardless of the outcome of the voting, the Blue and White .cagers will encounter two difficult assignments this weekend.

On Friday the Bobcats will invade the University of Nebraska coliseum to tangle wth Wesleyan.

Coach Irv Peterson's Plainsmen smashed Chadron twice last week and have improved since losing to Peru 37-67, five weeks ago.

Peru State (81) Three reasons for Peru's success on the maples are pi.cti.U"ed above. Frvm hft t') right are Bob Eilers, Bob Davis and Biil Thurman. Eilers and Thurman will make their farewell appearance en the Peru court Saturday night. Davis, a wphomore from Chk<ego., m., is the most popular athlete in the NCC at the prEsent tim'"·

Six End Careers In Saturday night's fray, six eniors wll make their final appearance on PSTC maples as the Cats play host to the Kearney Antelopes. Closing out their final coilege ca:·eers will. be Captain Omer Meeker, Bill Thu:·mzn. Bo') ilers, Gale Eshelman, Bili Johnson, and Charles Smith. Three weeks ago on the Antelope court, Peru narrowly escaped defeat as Bill Thurman's fielder in the dying moments brouf;ht a 61-60 victory.

In the highly publi.cized individual scoring race. Peru's Orner Meeker has a golden opporunity to overtake Bob Smith of Hastings. If the f:ashy Bobcat forward, who has tallied 1,620 points in hs col;?:giate career, can outscore the Bronco ace, it will be the first time in NCC history that a Pcm athlete has captured the indivuald scoring title. The race at a glance: g fg ft f pts.

Meeker's brilliant achievement established the ma=·ks in the scoring archives: 1. Peru scoring record for a single game. Old record ·of 37 points set by Duane ''"'iVh:z" White against Doane, December J 1, 1945.

2. NCC record for a single g<ime. Old record of 38 points set

by Glenn Groves, Chadron, in 1948.

3. Individual scoring mark for Midland gymnasium.

4. Brought season point total to 552 to break oli record of 502 set by Del Miller, Wesleyan, in 1949-50.

In .1ddition, f','ru's total of 100 points went down as a new NCC record for a single game and also a new standard for Midland's gymnasium.

The Warriors moved to a 10-4 lead before Meeker and company began to roll. After six minutes of play the Kylemen \vere ahead 15-14 and by intermission the Cats held a 40-34 ~dvanta;::e Ms:eker's sharp eye was at its best as he connected on 24 of his 32 shots from the field and nine of ten from the gratis tl:rrow• line.

Able Phil Slagle Cast in Difficult Role of Director Thursday evening, April 5, 1951, Las been set as production date for the budget-sponsored dramatic p:-oduction, "Joan of Lorraine," by Maxwell Anderson. Curtain time will be at 8:00 p.m. in the College Auditorium.

The unique aspect of the play is the fact, already noted in these pages, that it is a form of a "play within a play." Ander:;on, in an attempt to tell the story of Joan of Arc and at the same time ·offer some suggestions as to daily living in an atomic age, has written a play about a group of actors and actresses.

The problems met and conquered in the actual production of a play are chronicled in heartbreaking detail. The disagreement between the actors and the director, the technical difficulties i11 rehearsing without prop~.r lighting, scenery, or costumes and, very nearly without a theater-all are surmount!!d through ingenuity of the people involved and sometimes by the influence of the play itself.

One of the most serious problems to confront Peru's Thespians will be to convince the audience of the reality of the scenes they play. The transition from the scenes of the "Joan" play to those of the struggling a ct ors on

the bare stage is difficult and hazardous. The responsibility of effecting these shifts smoothly falls almost im·ariably to ~he lot of Phil Slagle as the Director.

Moving constantiy as he does from the playing-area into the midst of the audience and back again, the Director manages to, keep the attention of tt:c audience focused in the proper direction. The demands created· by this role, including a genuine: directional spirit, a double inter- . pretation of cynicism and warm compassion, should offer Slagle one of the most interesting challenges of his, varied and able career on Peru's stage.

In the words of Jimmy Masters, the Director, Slagle, Pat Benford and other members of the abnormally large cast, are now "feeling their way" into the parts.

Campus Comments TH IS editor apologizes profusely for the statement he made in the last Ped concerning Peru's pennant at the

-·-

south end of the gymnasium.

IT WAS explained that the athletic department did not purchase any of the pennants but that a Peru follower bought them out of his own pocket. This individual ran out of funds before he could purcha:se a larger pennant for Peru. I still believe the athletic department could purchase the Peru pennant after such an unselfish effort on the part of a loyal follower.

1\'lEMBERS of the student body don't seem to take any interest in their student government. The president of the Student Counc.il stated that only one petition has been turned in for the election of next year's officers thus far. How can students complain about actions of the Student Council if they don't have enough gumption to solicit ten students to sign a petition for their choice of a ,representative?

-·-

ONE of the best examples of student initiative and good judgement ever shown on this campus is the peti~ion for Neal S. Gomon as permanent president Tpe interest and acceptance of the student body was shown by the long lip;t of names affixed to the paper. In this editor's opinion no more capable man is available.

-·-

ANOTHER item mentioned last time about the various 01rganizations sponsoring weekend activities received severe criticism from a member of the Student Council.

Ifo s~ated that when one of the organizations did sponsor 5omething on weekends in the past that only a handful of s udents attended. If this is the case, it is the students who are at fault and not the organizations.

The small man who is almost on her heels by now, looks disappointed because he can't sit with her but takes a seat directly in front of her. Once again silence reigns in the car. You can't help noticing these last two newcomers. You don't know why, but you have a feeling he is following her.

She is a small woman, clad in a worn black coat. She has a tired, almost hunted exp~ion on her plain, freckled face. He sits nervously in front of her, both hands thrust into commodious pockets of a blue plaid macrl:inaw. His whitish blond hair is but a little darker than his small pale face. He moves about restlessly in his seat; the woman sits quietly-no words are exchanged.

You look away, out into the bleakness of the misty night when it happens. You glance up and there he is, standing partly in the aisle. f8 cing the wom<>n.

His hands are no longer in his pockets. One of them is pointing a small black revolver direct]:into her face. The passengers are all awake, now watching inte:;!ly but she just sits there, looking ".shamed and a. little mor'.'

His features assume a sardonic cast sibilant words, "I'm going to let you have it," are muttered through half parted lips.

It all seems so idiotic, here on a street car where there will be plenty of witnesses. Some of the passengers begin to snicker-it's a big jcke. The conductor turns ' around but does nothing. Outside the rain is falling a little faster; the street car clatters on. ;, He doesn't notice the whispers of the passengers, he sees no one ,. but her. The expression on the woman's face does not change. ' But as he tightens his grip on the trigger, she ha1f audibly pleads, "Don't Johnny, please give me that gun." It is all so fantastic, she i& so calm in the face of danger. He just sneers and repeats his threat, "Say your prayers, I'm going to let you have it." Now the woman begins to get angry. All the people in the street car are awaiting an outcome.

She looks him in the face and says with determination, "Johnny. give me that gun." Johnny just stands there. There is no fr>;ir in tre woman's face as she forcefully exclaims, "This is the last tim;t: ..'I'Jl ask you, give me that gun." 'J'4e tired eyes are blazing now. Johnny is wilting.

eed Says Institutions Ineligible Wayne O. Reed, new:1y appoind Assistant Commissioner of IS. Education, began his new ob by going to bat for Peru in ashington, D.C., this week.

Commissioner Reed, as his irst official aciti:on, declared all graduates of all instit.utions of higher learning in Nebraska, except Peru, ineligible as future achers of America. All gradues of these schools will be imediately 'drarted into the armed rvices.

When asked for his reasons r this dnstl!c ;action, Reed said 'During a recent investigation f subversive action against Peru t was brought to light that all of hese institutions had accepted ribes from Hastings~to vote aainst Peru l:n the recent Davis ligibility case.

"It is situations like this that ill do more to tear down our ducational system than all the ommunist action ifi the United tates," Reed continued. "There no other possible decision than e one decided upon.

"Peru has cleared itself of all oubt by it~ exemplary behavior the matter. Although many nd lurid accusations have been rled at Peru, tlie college has nied all of them and has stood ck of its denials with unquesonable evidence."

Rumors circulating around Pehave it that enrollment next will be record breaking and at other schools will have to ose their doors for ladic of engh students.

Ring Uncovered

Bugs Escape, Destroy Oaks Boxelder bugs, escapees from the laboratory of John Christ, have killed over half of the beloved thousand oaks on the Peru campus.

The tragedy was discovered early this morning when one of the culprits attacked the forehead of NeW!t Kyle, apparently mistaking the numerous wrinkles there for oak bark. Coach Kyle was unable to comment on the behavior of the bug.

The administration, after careful investigation, isued this state'ment: "The insects had been put in a jar of preserving alcohol by Professor Christ yesterday afternoon. After drinking the contents of the jar, the bugs ate their way out and staggered onto the quadrangle where they attacked the oak trees. The administration has appointed Dr. Brown as prosecuter and wm insist on capital punishment for the offenders."

With the help of fertilizer left over from the Davis eligibility story the administration hopes to replant the quadrangle with pink petunias.

, .

c

.

College president Neal S. Gomon declined to comment on the matter. He refused to believe his trusted faculty could deceive him.

Office Force Goes Into Coffee Business The college office force .has been conspicuously absent from the Bobcat Den lately. Investigation disclosed that Dorothy Coulter had taken up a collection and bought coffee making equipment which is kept in Dean Quelle's office.

Now, the office farce, (Oops! mispelled word) regularly meets there for coffee which Dean Quelle prepares and pours at 10, 2 and 4.

The Grancers, proprietors of the Bobcat Den, have protested to the American Association of Restauranter.s and Juke Box Emporiums that the Quelle coffee shop is engaged in unfair competition to them. The Grancers do not mind the loss of the coffee revenue, but they say that without Marion Blake's playing of Moct!:ingbird Hill they are losing money.

Neal .$. Gomon, new acting president of Peru College, lost . no time in making changes in the faculty and administration. At a faculty meeting yesterday, March 30, Mr. Gomon stated: "It is high time that we place the horse in front of the right wagon in order to get an efficient educational organization that is to serve the nation and mankind.

The meeting began with the group rising to its feet and singing the color song. Next in order, President Gomon spoke for a half-hour making special mention of the changes that will become effective April 1.

His chief reason for the modifications was primarily an experiment. Gamon, long a believcer in the variety-the-spice-oflife theory, went on to say that a change would give a person a greater incentive and thus keep him from going stale.

Gomon in a press report said: "I have gone over these changes with my wife and we both feel that the curriculum will he.st serve the student if it has the best person for the guiding light."

First blow to the faculty and administration was a proposal to be presented to the State Normal Board for a decrease in salary for all. In order to keep on good terms v.ith state officials, it was pointed out that cuts will have to range from $250·· to $375 depending upon the experience and educational background of the individual.

John Christ was the first in line for a change. Mr. Christ under the new set-up will head the English division. Gomon felt that the former biology prof would be considerably happier with words and literature than with the microscope and bacteria. It was also mentioned that the shift would give Mr. Christ, as well as others, two fields of endeavor.

The second move was merelv brought about because Dea~ Quelle had been complaining tbat he had worn out 12 pair of shoes in running about the campus in

his buiiding and ground position. Quelle will now head the Training School.

S. L. Clements told Mr. Gomon onlv the night before that he wo~ld like to coach, so the president, a considerate man, handed.

Mr. Clements a coaching job.

C. E. Wilkinson, wli.o loves to travel, was given the job c.f head man in the physical education svstem. As athletic director, Mr. Wilkinson will be in charge of athlete recruitment. The new boss will cany the same number of personnel, but will have as football 'coach, s. L. Clements. The rrewlv released Prep man will also -assist in the coaching of basketball and track.

Harry Steiner, former manager of the cafeteria, will coach track.

Paul Gilhert, intramural whiz,. will he the w bursar. George Rath of f gn language setup, will re ce Gilbert. Phyl!fs Davidson has been given the nod to head the cafeteria, while her replacement as director of women's physical education will be Myrtle Cook. (Editor's note: Why couldn't Cook get the cafeteria assignment?)

Dr. Edith Greer will no longer ·. reign as head of the educational devision Her new job will be that of college registrar. Walter and Mrs. French will run the special services office. J. Quinn Lotspeich will be in charge of buildings and grounds, '1l'Th!i(;' Victor Jindra >•Till he the new dean.

College Library To Undergo Renovations Nellie M. Carey, college librarian, announced Thursday, March 29, that the library will undergo a series of renovations beginning April 1.

First on the agenda will be the replacements of the old busts by more recent and well-known female authors. Kathleen Windsor, author of the best seller "Forever Amber," w!ll grace the pedestal now occupied by R. W. Emerson, while Gypsie Rose Lee; renowned author of "The G-String

Murders" will form her counterpart and replace Wm. Shakespeare. These two ladies may not be very good writers but for patrons who are interested in in light reading, the browsing corner has been converted into a Comic Book Nook featuring Captain Marvel, Plastic Man, Batman and Robin, Buggs Bunny and Donald Duck.

Another new installation will be the Lounging Corner located where the reference shelves now are. All chairs, tables and shelves have been replaced by couches with foam rubber cushions. All reading material will' be flashed on the ceiling, for convenience, and consist of pictures· (no indication of what type of pictures was made).

New periodicals which will ap'pear on the magazine rack are, True Story, Real Romances, See,.

True Detective, The Police Ga-· zette and Esquire. These are to give students a broader outlook on life. · Restrictions on smoking in the· building have been removed and a small snack bar has been set up on the w:est side of the circulation desk

Campus Comments Due to recent publicity. there are some people laboring under the false impression that there is considerable fric· tion between Hastings, one of our sister institutions in the NCC, and Peru.

-·-·-·-

THIS is nothing but a vicious rumor. Never in the his· try of the two colleges Has a closer feeling of inward har· mony existed between them. Hastings was only defending her constitutional rights in the recent baisketball fracas and the same applies to the e-arlier contested football game.

INDIVIDUALS circulating these rumors are just kying to undermine the close feeling of hiendship and devo· tion which the two schools feel toward each other.

ANOTHER thing which has been receiving entirely too much attention on the campus recently ~s the social life.

Too much emphasis has been placed on dances, dating, etc. and not enough on the more serious aspect of receiving an education. Organizations should stress the curricular side of campus life. If they must have parties why can't they be study bees or something on that order?

-·-

DATING should be restricted to one night a week or d.ir,continued altogether. This would leave the students on the campus more time to' devote to their studies.

Clayburn To Jindra Will Make Jump Stack Car Races ~nter

Victor Jindra is pfanning to enter the Stock Car Races this summer at Auburn. He says he is tired of fiddling his life away.

He wants adventure ancf excitement. He thrfas it will be a gootl way to learn to han.dle a car.

Faculty and students were disappointed to hear this. as Mr. Jindra had just bought a new family sized car last year. They are trying to discourage him from taking up stock car racing and to make another effort toward converting his car in1o a real family car.

But Mr. Jindra seems deter.mined to race and may emer Ure JJndianapoiis race this SGmmer.

If so, he would drive a rouped up Model A and take Freddie Clements along as teeb!:tbf advisor.

Friday, March 30, 1951, the eyes of all Peru will be on the skies over the campus of a thousand oaks. Ansel B.

Gomon Declares Class Attendance ·Not Compulsory

Four Debaters Receive Letters James D. Levitt presented four of his traveling squad with letter sweaters for competition in varsity debates. The debating team closed a rather successful .season by bringing home a second and third place in NCC competition. They, however, were a bit more fortunate, as not one of the squad was declared ineligible for NOC competition.

At a banquet honoring the lettermen, Coach Levitt said, "If we are allowed to have a brief case next year, we may win some more debates."

With the graduation of the iraveling squad there Vti.11 be no returning lettermen to carry the blue and white into battle. In respect to this, Coach Le\itt said, "We'ye got some good material coming up, though a little inexperinced, and we should be able to go great guns again next year."

Two sweeping changes in college policy are planned by the new administration, it was disclosed today. The office of the president has announced that beginning next Monday atten·dance at class lectures will no longer be required and that !he use of text books will be discontinued in the near future.

Neal Gomon, Peru's new prexy, has made an exhaustive study of the modern teaching procedures introduced at the University of Chicago by President Hutchins, and Mr. Gomon expects that wLth the improvements over that method to be introduced here, Peru will atract natfon-wide attention and that the enrollment will 'double every year.

Un-der the new plan, students will be free to acquire knowledge and skills wlien, where and how they please. Letter grades wiill be detrmined by class vote 'at the end of each semester.

The basic principal of the new system is the discovery that students can learn lessons while asleep. (What's new about that?)

An elaborate switchboard has been installed in each dormitory with a master panel in the Administration building. Miniature speakers have been installed in each student's pillow. Hereafter, each professor will transcribe his 'lectures and at class time his lecture will be played before a microphone tuned to the wavelength of each student in that class.

This new system will make it possible for students to listen to morning lectures without following the old barbaric custom of getting up before 10:00 a.m.

A sampling of student opinion indicated campus-wide enthusiasm for the new plan. Fred Thomas president of the senior class, is quoted as saying," I only wish this policy has been introduced seven years ago, wihen I was a freshman."

Mr. Gomon, however, has cautioned against taking any hasty action in regard to text books, like leaving them on the floor inside the doors of the Administration building, or the steps of tpe Hbta,r•y, "Remem~r," he warns, ''that plans for changes of this type must first be submitted to the State Normal Board for action by its committee on premeditated outrages."

Frosh-$oph Carnival ·is Big Success To tlte freshman and sophomore classe' gl·es the distinction of sponsoring -0ne of the most successful fun events of the current school year in the staging of the benefit carnival in the college gym, Monday, April 9.

The carnival, long awaited and talked about, turned out to be one of the most exciting ana satisfying events for the college students this year. The students and faculty turned out en-masse to spend and be entertained by the many concessions run by every active organization on the campus. The carnival air prevailed throughout, with the hawkers shouting their wares and the attractive dancing girls demonstrating their talents before a full house. All that it lacked was the presence of pick-pockets and. crap games, so common to the full-fledged outdoor carnivals.

The stage shows played to a packed house at every performance and new and varied talents were uncovered. One of the new talents was the harmonica playing of Mr. John Christ. Red 1 · Wilson and Omer Meeker turned in their usual good performances.

The rest of the acts were well done, but too numerous to give special mention.

All the booths did a land office business, especially the kissing booth which "Hot Lips" Davis operated at a huge profit. "Marrying" Casler performed the rites for many of the more romanticly inclined members of the student (Continued on Page 4)

H "Joan of Lorraine" was too long, if the plot was too complicated and the ideas too elevated 1.hese faults were far outweighed by the superb adng done in the Pen; audito;·ium on 1\pril as the D:,amatic p.~too J.Iaxwell Anderson pfay.

Pat Benford met the challenge which the portrayal o! Joan offered and succeeded in bringing the role to life, doing it so realistically as to carry the \\'eigM of !he whole play. Phil Slagle, cast as the director of the play who believed that all life is a series of compromises, masteriully carried the audience along through the transition from the scenes of the play to those of the struggling actors.

This was a play within a play, the outer play showing the actors on a nearly bare stage rehearsing U-:e Joan of Arc play. The disagreements between the cast and the director concerned the age-old question of whether one should compromise on small thlngs in order to achieve a greater good. Pat, through her acting of the Joan part, came to the realization of her faith and the necessity of abiding by it.

The appreciative audience indicated that Peru can take more dramas. This performance will be one not soon forgotten in the playgoers' memories.

The cast included many students who were· making their first, appearance on the Peru stage. These included Ray Smith, Reggie Fritschle, Bill Bednar~ Eva Knape, Ted McCartney, Don Johanns, Ken Taylor and Merv Miller.

Those veterans of the stagewho were back to display their· talents were Don Graham, Mar-· ion Pratt, M2rilyn Baucke, Frank Fischer, Bill Mcininch, Arno!~ Bradley, Shirley Morse, DeVan Hershey, Truman 'Lytle, andi Ronald Kucera.

The entire production was under the· direction of James B. Steele while the makeup was supervised by Mrs. Robert Moore.

Music by the Little Theatre Orchestra and under the direction of Victor H. Jindra was played before the first act and also between acts.

Campus Comments COMMENTS on the letter which appeared in the last week's Peru Pointer were n:iany and varied. The writer of that article should be reminded that even before Indian Hill School was abolished more than half of the elementary pupils from the d.istrict were already attending the T.J. Majors Training School. Another obvious thing that was 'Overlooked by this author was the lopsided vote of 164 to 40 ;to do away with the district school.

ANOTHER item that perhaps should be cleared up is that Carlene Cox, a reporter ·On the Ped staff, is no relation to the aforementioned letter writer.

MEMBERS of the freshman and sophomore dass~s, who helped to make the All-School Carnival such a big success. deserve a lot of credit. The various organizations which participated should not be slighted either.

Every Day Was New' Tells Of Experiences in Old Peru

By Mrs. Edith Miller "It was one a.m., a light rain

was falling and the returning AWOL student found herself locked out of Mount Vernon Hall.

She had anticipated this, since doors were locked at nine-thirty except on special occasions, and this occasion ·was special only to herself.

"Fortunately, the room of the ,preceptress was on the first floor, ·so the· young lady's escort ra),}ped \m the window with his umbrella. When the dorm door finally -0pened the discreet young man had disappeared. Next morning ·the young woman was given a ·chance to explain her predicament and make her apologies."

This amusing episode, which happened on our campus over fifty years ago, is told by Dr. H. Clyd2 :Filley, class of '99, in his book "Every Day Was New." publish0d last year. Dr. Filley, who grew up in Gage County, devoted o;i~ cliapter of the book t" l:> :.-~:i;·:; of college life in Peru.

Tl1e boys who attended the Normal School were requir.ed to report for drill Friday af+ernoor. of each week. They really gained very little knowledge of military .science. but due to the interest aroused by the Spanish-American War, an encampment was arranged during the spring of 1898.

Dr. Filley's recollections of this

encampment, held in a cow pasture a mile from town,, are most interesting. Today's student teachers may feel vaguely envious when they read how the fellows avenged themselves against Sandy, the one-time terror of student teachers in the "Practice School," yrho had come out to heckle the ibattalion.

Tne custom of that day, if renewed today, would bring a sudden flurry to the campus. A committee wrote a class play in April, parts were assigned and the seniors presented it before commencement.

Several of the names of campus personalities used by Dr. Filley have a somewhat familiar ring. There was Miss Eliza Morgan, teacher of English composiion, who is described as ''perhaps seventy years old, but active and vivacious as most girls of twenty." He mentions Miss Mears, author of "Hills ot :Peru," who 0ccasi0nally \-isits cur campus.

T1-c Re\·. George Gates, who rei>Ulec11y knew nearly everyone of ihe ~50 students. was the father 0r Mr. L. JVL Gates. now campus landscape superintendent.

Alumnus Filley' s story of life in Nebraska over the first half of this cs·ntury makes absorbing reading. l\nd of special interest is the early chapter entitled "Hills· of Peru."

150 Participate in District Declamatory Contest Here Huck Resigns From Faculty Proressor C. A. Huck, for 28 years associated with the Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru as a mathematics instructor and supervisor, has asked to be relieved of his teaching duties as of September 1, 1951. He has been granted a status of pi;oressor of mathematics, emeritus, by the State Board of Education for Normal Schools, effective then.

Mr. Huck, who has been teaching on a half-time basis the 'past year, asked to be placed on an emeritus status so that he can devote all of his time to his own business interests.

Voters o.f District No. 3 were four to one in favor of closing the Indian Hill school next fall .and contracting with the training school for the education of all elementary school children ln the district. The issue was decideq by a ballot of 164 for the measure and 40 in opposition.

Terms of the contract are yet to be arranged but length of the contract will be three years, the minimum set by law.

Although the physical plant. can readily accomodate the increased enrollment, more supervisors will be needed.

President Gomon stated that three additional supervisors will be added to the faculty, providing one for each grade.

To those mothers who voiced doubts of student teacher efficiency, Gomon emphasized that supervisors will at all times be responsible for pupil learning ' and classes will not be turned over to a student teacher until her ability to handle them has !been established.

Campus Comments TODAY prom,ises to be a big day on Peru's campus.

This day is set aside for Senior Day when seniors from the surrounding high schools in Neb~ka, Iowa, and Missouri will be on ~e campus to get acquainted w:ith the · faculty, students, and the school's facilities.

-·-·-·-·-

EVERYONE on the campus sliouM cooperate t-0 the follest degree to make this day a success since the future .of Peru in part depends upon the outcome of ventures like :this.

ALL the committees who w:orked so hard to make this day a success should be congratulated on their efforts. As members of the student body, we should show our iapprec1~.tion by welcoming our Visitors and making them feel at home.

ANOTHER venture which was mentioned last time should rece~ve more credit is the All-Stjhool Carnival.

Students and faculty showed their approval by the large turnout and patroniz;ation of the various concessions. Why not make this an annual affair?

The first to MP.tyville State 'Teachers College, (fr-1) on Monday, April 23; and the second match to Omaha University (6-0) at Omaha on Tuesday April 24.

Letter Home Dear Ma and Pa; Wal, this here school year is about over. We only .got two more weeks left.

I'll be a comin' home around the twenty--fifth of May. That's the one on the calendar with the· purty girl tryin' to git comfortable in the hay $tack.

Pa, do you think you hitch old Jim t'o the wagon and come and git me? I've got more than two trunk · loads of gidgits and souvinirs to take home and I don't think I can carry it the 19 miles like I did last year.

Some fellows said something about "hitch-hiking" home. I hear you stand out on the road and hold your finger in the at all the cars. I tried it, but must have held up the wrong finger cause the guy stopped car and got out and bit me.

The boys in the dorm sure depressed nowadays. It Lc-raynes in Auburn closed up.

It must have been ~ome kind of museum or something.

I o;h Jre will be glad to git home and see Bessie the cow and some of the other animals. The fellows here all gripe about gittin up by 7:30 in the morning but I'll be glad to start gittin' up at 5:00 8gain.

H's almost dark outside so I bet'er go to bed now.

Your Lovin' Son, Elmer P. S. The dean said the other dav that I've set a record. gone to school for two years and nEcver missed a class. He said the other students skip or cut quite a few. I wonder what that means.

Among other probable point winners for the Bobcats are twonitler LaVon Covault, pole vaulter Cecil Larsen who placed In ~he 1948 and 1950 meets, and half miler Harvey Ideus who encounter such opponents as Bob Provorse, Thlane (2:02-; Geslriech, Wayne (2:02.4); Dick Rathke, Hastings; and Bill Ram· sey, Kearney.

Neophyte Jerry Grancer is a leading contender in a clMsy high hurdlefield which includes defending champion Glenn Peterson of Kearney, Bob Kahle of Doane and Bill Eaton of Midland.

Children Spin

Gold July 6 T. J. Majors Elementary School children, kindergarten through the sixth grade, will present Rumpelstiltzkin, on July 6, 1951.

The two act operetta was written by rBertha Elsmitt, Director of Music at Brearley School, New York City.

The operetia is centered on the old Grimm's fairy tale of the miller's daughter who could spin straw into gold. The king, as might be expected, got intere'sted in making her his queen. There is enough by-play for an evening of fine entertainment. There is a moral to the story, as befits a fairy tale, but to disclose it would be anticipating the climax of the song play. The director purposes to let \he children tell the sto,·y.

In the picture, standing behind the marker, are Farrar ·Newberry, president of the insurance society; Chief Justice Robert Simr:ion.s; who made the commencement address at Peru; College President Neal Gomon; :Castle M.

The photo was taken by James Levitt of Peru.

Teachers Are Responsible The opinion heard from the platform at convocation June 20, seen~s to point to th~ feeling that teachers are molded into a too constricted pattern _by constraining en· v;ironmental influences. The opinion was voiced that the teacher should have complete freedom to do as he or she 'feels to be expedient and compulsive m living a full and complete life.

The Hinge of Fate ........ Churchill A discussion of the Second World w,ar.

.In the first place, those forced into the teaching pro· fess1on by hard circumstances beyond their control would be small in number; The teacher is not ordinarily teaching except by personal preference. That preference has led, or should lead the instructor into accepting the moral restraints ~laced upon the profession by public opinion and precedent.

Wihat. the so-called "free thinker" believes in and pro· mulgates IS the tearing away ,of what is believed to be restraints of moral liberty and license. When the teacher must ask the question, "Is it all right for me to do this?" the answer is already given. If conscience points the finger of doubt at the teachers extra-curricular activities, they should be eliminated. Children in school should be exposed to neither eccentric and crackpot ideologies, nor to the low moral standards of a sophist 1df dubious integrity.

To whom does the child look for guidance when there IS none at home? A self-centered teacher would give a negative answer to suclh: a que·stion. Why are juvenile homes all too frequently filled by infant miscreants? The answer may be found primarily in the· broken home, and also the ,'1ecadent home. But there is something else that cannot be evaded, it may also be found in the example which the ;instructor sets. · What has all this to do with the teacher's private life? :Just this. Whatever that private life may be, will be reflected to a very marked degree in what is tau~ht. The ex· -pressed beliefs of the instructor may very well color the thinking of the pupil, and may eventuate in the pupil's -undoing.

Everyone is either a stepping stone or a stumbling._ block to some one else; the teacher to a much higher degree ' than mdst. If the teacher prefers to shirk or sidestep the high calling of his profession, he would do well to find the answer to the question, "Am I my brother's keeper?"

N.E.A. Faoors U.M.T. The final version of the military service legislation, as it is now being passed by both houses of congress, is an effective and workable measure to build ilp the nation's armed forces with the least pdssible disruption of essential civilian activities, including hi'1e~ education.

Provisions of the compromise bill, as it moves. toward final passage, show remarkable accord with the recomendations of the NEA Department of Higher Educa(ion.

Many of these provisions are in marked contrast with the Marshall-Rosenberg proposals as submitted to the committees on armed services in January.

Throughout the intervening period, the Department of Higher Education has borne the brunt of the educational effort to secure the basic revisions finally adopted by Con· gress after careful study. The task has been made more difficult by the fact that some leaders and organizations ~n higher education have given s_trong support to the original Marshall-Rosenberg bill.

Officers and members of the Department of Higher Education are gratified that Congress has ad<>pted these crucial revisions, thu:s. providing a much sounder manpower for the deferi'.se of the nation in a long-range struggle against Communist aggression.

by J. D. Levitt. Gail Gilliland, Jean Wilson, and fFrank'. Fischer planned and organized the evenings entrtainment. Mr. LaVern Boeck officiated in the capacity of caller for the evening.

The girls from Eliza M<rrgan Hall entered a float in the parade for Old Man River Days. Six girls dressed as cow girls portrayed the theme, "The West was never like this," from the Doris Allie maroon convertible.

Quiet! Genius at Work We have concluded that the students of P.S.T.C. are being conditioned to think under any and all conditions. Of course many of the enrollees are resisting the idea.

This is the reason fur the air hammers and noisy lawn mowers that work constantly during class periods. · The idea in this "brain plant" is to make everyone an extrovert.

This means to think with your brains exposed.

The noise also helps to keep

Women Ball Players Find Softball Hard

By Ted McCartney June 19, I passed the local ball park about 8 p.m. and, wow! what I saw. Yes there it was, all the fairer sex out in jeans, shirts, a:id ball caps swinging a bat at a lop-sided softball.

As I scanned the field I found that the team on the defense was composed of high schooJ girls.

1 don't kIWw why. they were playing because they all seemed to be afraid of the· ball.

The other side, which consisted of females from the college, ·was swinging that bat like the .Chicago White Sox. What did someone say the score was-40 to O? I would think those shirts and jeans would .get tired running the same paths all the time!

Come on, let's set them down.

Speaking of Jindra, you should have seen the team he produced.

I believe that the team's name was "Fiddle Away." I can't determine what was wroni. Jindra gave a good chalk talk, but they just didn't pull through for him.

Avenue Store Softball Team Loses To Strong Opposition Peru Avcmue :store, a local softball team, •took a few rough bumps the week of June 10 to 17. The team is improving fast and should be one of the teams to be beat in the future.

BULLETIN It tod1': eight games, but the

Avenue Store team hit out a win when Talmage was victimized last Sunday night by a 7 to 5 score.

Their first downfall was a game that was rained out in the third inning. Sunday, June 10, the Lincoln> International Harvester team was leading the local boys 9 to 5 when the rains came.

If it had lasted the full seven innings, it could have gone either way, for the hitting on both teams was plentiful, and both pitchers were weakening. The battery for Avenue Store was Buford Htckman and Bill Gilmore.

Tuesday, J.une 12, was a heartbreaker for the Avenue Store team. They lo 0 t to the Peru VFW by a score of 3 to 2. Although the score was in favor of the VFW team, the outstanding playing was in favor of the local boys. Bob James of Nebraska City, who pitched for the Avenue Store, allowed only two hits. His battery mate was Bill Gilmore.

"CUrly" Broers, who allowed three hits, did the pitching for VFW and Wayne Cotton was his battery mate. Scooter Hale hit a fluke single to drive in Avenue Store's first run, and he also scored a run himself to lead the

CULLIGAN SOFT WATER SERVICE

team.

"Curly" Broers was dynamite to the Avenue Store again Wednesday night, when he pitched a no hit, no run game for Nebra~rl:a City~s Clemmy Holmes.

The score wound up 4 to O with Bruns of Auburn allowing four hits to the Clemmy Holmes team.

Catching for Avenue Store was Ted McCartney.

Besides losing all these games, the Avenue Store team lost a host of players because of injuries. In Sunday night's game Reggi Speak damaged his wrist and Bill Cummins pul!ed a leg muscle. Tuesday night Omer Meeker received a. twisted ankle, and Wednesday night's game laid Ted McCartney up with a jammed elbow. Reggie Speak is the only one who is rounding up into shape to play in the near future.

Some of the other college men on the team who haven't been mentioned are: Bob Faunce, Doyle Gump, Charles Smith, Buford Richman, Bill Johnson, Bob DavL'\ and Lawrence Webb. Two high school boys flaying on the team are Raimi G1'ves and Burkett Lewis.

Comedy through the Ages, the hilarious production showing what has made man laugh since the early Greeks, was presented Wednesday evening, June 13, at the college auditGJrium. The production, although it is now an actuality, has been a problem to producer Edward A. Wright and .stars David Rounds and Fred Bogaert sinre its inception a few years ago.

David Rounds and Fred Bogaert After the birth of the idea of Comedy through the Ages, there arose the real problem of treatment. Should it follow the pattern of history? Should the various types be chronological in order of presentation? Should it attempt to show the basic forms or ·all forms? Should the person:alities of the two young men presenting the program be given emphasis, or should the material?

1'.lhis year while attending Col" orado State Colleg'~, Mr. McCann was president of Alpha Mu chapter of Phi Delta Kappa, professional education fraternity. He is a member of Beta Mu chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, honorary education fraternity,

What about costumes-and above all, how could the whole idea be made entertainment and also educational?

These questions were masterfully answered by Rounds and Bogaert and Wright.

To laugh ls man·s prerogative.

He is the only member of the entire ranimal kingdom to possess this God-given power. Throughout history men and women have been amused. by different types of humor. It has ranged from the uproarious and rowdy laughter of the Greeks to the highly intellectual and sophisticated humor of Noel Coward.

Comed:y through the Ages, as presented on the college campus, was a living anthology of scenes; skits, characters and bUffoonery presented by two supremely gifted young comedian~David Rounds and Frederi<:k Bogaert.

Their sketches ranged from the classic Greell:s to the modern comedy of radio and television.

Comedy through the Ages educated while it entertained.

Negro Folklore Pleases Audience

SmeUevision Comes .tQ Peru_

Katherine Flower's Dancers of Chicago presented a program of historical Negro folklore dances to a Peru audience on Thursday evening, July 26.

Dances dating back more than three-hundred years in American Negro fol!dore formed part of this sparkling entertainment. Old dance forms with all their traditions, humor, subtlety and color, were brought back to life and in them were detected the historical antecedents of some of our seemingly more "modern" theatre. \ There was an amazing variety; primitive dance rituals springing fvom the Voodo snake worship and Black Magic of the Louisiana Creoles as imported from the •French Martinique; the gay and delightful social dance that became the famous Cake Walk of the 1890s and the Lucy Long o! the 1840s; and the fast and furious African imported Mamboula itself, theatrical source materials and street cries, down to modernday Be-Bop. These dances were staged by Katherine Flowers of Chicago, a Northwestern University graduate and former teacher of women's physical education in the Chicago city schools. Her narrations briefly introduced the hist-0rical situations and atmosphere.

The company included six dancers, several of whom played the Conga drums, t pianist, and Katherine Flowers. ' Their portrayal of Negro folklore dances was exceptional and was thoroughly enjoyed by the Peru audience.

Shorten Post Session In order that the contractors could assure completisn of the heating system renovation by the opening of school on September 3, it has been decided to shorten the Post-Session in terms of number of days and lengthen the session in terms of class hours each day. The Post-Session will begin on Saturday, August 4, and close on Wednesday, August 15, three days earlier than the original plan. Classes will meet from 7 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. each day, . with one hour intermission time to be decided by the inst~uctor and the students.

The heating plant renovation program necessitates the cuttingoff of the hot water supply; therefore, it was deemed advisable to shorten the session rather tharu operate on the longer schedule and function the last three days -011 a "cold water" basis.•

4-H'ers Have Summer Program on Peru Campus Approximately 240 members of the 4-H clubs of southeastern Nebraska met on the campus of Peru State July 19, 20 and 21.

Clubs from Pawnee, Richardson, Otoe, and Nemaha counties sent members to camp this year.

A new club membership came from Atchins-on county, Mo. They sent 75 members .

The camp was supervised by county agents and 4-H club leaders. Robert Wilson, County Agent Nemaha .county, was the camp director.

' Activities a1 the camp include:l handicraft, nature study, swimming~' recreational games and square dancing. Two girl students a'bd a boy student from the 4-H club office assisted with the handicraft and recreation at the camp. The 4-H members were housed in Delzell Hall on the campus and were fed in the college cafeteria.

Campus observers were pleased to note the quality of organization, dicipline and leadership as demonstrated by the 4-H clubs and their leaders.

Prof Rath Reels Russian on Records Russian. German, Spanish, and French records have been recorded by Professor Georg~ Rath for his foreign language classes.

These records induce pupils to use good pronunciation because they hear the correct speech· sound. It is also much easier to pick up a fast knowledge of words and idiomatic expressions when one hears the records.

Along with the hearing side each class has movies which show and explain the culture of the nation studied. After studying a language for one year each student is able to carry on a conversation in a foreign tongue; the audio-visual aids help in attaining this goal.

·Is Convocation?

Convocation has been, is, and probably will continue to be the focal point for much contentious thought, outspoken criticism, and, at limes, even derision. Is convocation an outmoded, worn out tradition, purposeless in character and intent, and without educational value?

The Pedagogian .staff has been devoting quite a little attention to this question. It was feit that someone should dig into the problems involved and come up with some suggestions for improvements.

Pedagogian Takes Poll A poll was conducted for the purpose of getting a consensus of opinion which would give the staff something solid to wot.6: on.

Both faculty and student body were approached on the subject.

The .answers are interesting.

To the question "What purpose ~ould convocation serve best?" <>pinions varied somewhat, but the majority seemed to feel that -convccation is a symbol of unity, of concordant oneness, and that 'the ptimary purpose of convoca:ti-0n is to emphasize that unity, iand the fundamental purposes of -college and college life, especially as it pertains to turning out high §rade teachers. Opinion poi&ted to the fact that this had not been completely established.

Want Student Participation 1\l[uch can· be learned from books; more can be learned from actual participation. It would be hard to over-emphasize the value of actual participation. Leadership can best be discovered through the students' participation in fields of endeavor which tend to uncover such ability. One .;such field is convocation. To the ·question "Would you please give us a suggested change for convo·Cat1on programs?" both faculty and students gave a resounding ..and . overwhelming vote for more student participation, more faculty participation, and more student talent uncovered and taken out of wraps.

Cccasionally they are seen, yes, but no': often enough. For many, graduaticn will be the first time :they have walked upon the stage, and then me;·ely to receive their diploma. It was also pointed out that· even faculiy members who have been here for some time hav2 ne,:er been "up front" excert to stand at the opening convocz7ion. One facult;· member felt ···:12t everyone should be used -£2 ~ult:,- and ctuden+ b o d y.

The:·e was also a majority opinion ' 1 ~2t no department in the colic ::;e s1,oulcl go unrepresented jn ' '"\''.!cation.

Comments Are Frank No one particular program was singled out by those interviewed, but there would be some mighty red ears in Peru and on. some "Budget Eventers" had they ·heard some of the answers given to the questio.n "What is your brief candid opinion of convocati-0n programs?" As was to be expected, faculty members were more conservative and restrained than students in answering this question. The consensus of their opinion is that they are worthwhile, but could easily be improved.

\

The student .. answers ranged from "boring," "it stinks," and: "long-winded talkers," to "probably as good as possible under the circumstances." No one found out what particular set of circumstances were involved. Nearly everyone could point to one or two programs that they enjoyed, although one student indicated arr actual dread of attending. · Positive Suggestions' Made There was no intention, in taking this cross-section poll, to be negative. Here are positive suggestions to improve the situation: The students are at fault when they are given an opportunity to take over a convocation and then make it painfully evident to the audience that they are not prepared to give something of value.

Organization of the subject matter to be presented has been neglected, too -Often there is not enough variety, the staging is bad and s-0mewhere the timing disappeared.

They have cheated themselves of an opportunity to be of service, they have cheated the audience, and they have placed the convocation committe in a bad light for having permitted them to turn a ·wmthwhile hour into something valueless. The answer here is much more thought given to the presentation and more pre para ti on.

Committee Reform MO/re students should be on the convocation 'committee, even to a working plurality.

Announcements could be eliminated. They could be read over the public address system and ,should be posted on the bulletin board. However, if it is still felt 1.hat they should be given at convocation, may it be suggested: that even this be done by s,tudents, so that more unused ability can be pressed into service:, There should be a separate committee to evaluate convocation presentations. May we suggest for this purpose two faculty members and five students? These should not be on the reg·..ilar convocation committee.

Additional organizations should be encouraged to participate in convocations, giving themselves ample time to properly prepare worthwhile pr.ograms. The sponsor of such organizations should see that able assistance is given tJ working out of the program to a happ; conclusion.

More exchanges of 1alent should be made with other talent, and only our very best >hould be ::ent in return.

'Films which have an educational value and yet are highly entertaining were recommended, though 'sparingly.

Lastly, as the poll indicated, every 1epartment should ,have representation, and should lnow sometime in advance wheV their turn should take place. This should prove to be the best possible orientation for the student hody.

E1 ery opinion of the poll has no: been entertained here, but all majority opinions have been discussed briefly. It is sincerely houed that this. will lead to the ne~ded improv~ment in convocations.

By James O. Miller (An on the scene coverage of

the greatest disaster of its kind ever to occur in the history of· the United States; the KansasMissouri flood, as seen from Kansas City.) ,. · The first view of the Kaw River was had just west of Kansas City and east of Muncie.

Normally art eighth -0f a mile :wide at this point, it was extended to over three miles. Roof peaks of farm houses and barns could be seen, just breaking the ~urface of the tremendous waterscape. A bridge that withstood the fury of the 1903 flood was missing. A mile and a half from the channel, trees were standing at all ang1es, buffeted by the force of ,the torrent.

From there we went to City Park in Kansas City, Kans. This locality offered a good view of :a bad situation. The two open air pavilions here were filled with evacuated families. that huddled .in family groups around a mat. tiiess or two and little else. Small children, playing together, seemed completely unawal'e of any tragedy. The drive in the park was lined with cars which housed many other families.

All schools, it seemed, were full of people who were beinl taught how to live together. We saw them as we made our way to the Armourdale district of Kansas City, Kans. Here, thousands of jobs were covered with 20 feet of water and mud. Hundreds of homes were battered to pieces by the onrushing waters.

'Friends of ours, who have six children, went to their home in a boat to retrieve clothing that they had packed into the attic, only to find their home had vanished, and resting in its place, a huge gasoline storage tank. Off to the south could be seen heavy billows of smoke roming from a fire which sixteen companies of finmen could not control after eight Jong and weary days of steady fighting.

Picking our way around the armed guards who were patroling the entire flood area, we came to the west bank of the raging Kaw, opposite the Central Industrial District, and half a mile south of the Kaw's oonfluicnce with the lVfissouri River.

Below us i1·e:re two fifty-five iral'lon drums caught in eleetric power lines which were strnng 25 feet about the ground. They were keeping company 'llith a signpost which read ''Tr&~ 3."

Several oil refineries located in Kan~as City account for the number of railroad tank cars whi.ch were tossed about all over

DOUBT

Our Strong Organizations Are Weak Ordinarily, organizations are no greater than th05e who belong to them and control their policy.

Ordinarily, .there is • just one thing that makes a· social organizatnon great.

The answer may be found in ·one word-competition! We intend good, healthy COO'lpetition; nothing like the English cartel in business dealings is meant. Competition in most walks of life is exhilarating, giving to the person who receives the result of the competition a better product, a better service, or a higher grade of entertainment. Improvement soon follows the necessity for meeting competition. In business, a firm which m<tii:es no attempt to meet fair competition soon dies.

At Peru we have an unhealthy situation. unhealthy that is, in the competitive sense. The pep organizations here are all too few. Those in existence are given about as much competition as the Russian Communists are given politically. ~ are no Si· berian salt mines to send those unfortunates to who incur the· displeasure of the "Big Stick;'

wielders of the existing organizations; they are just dogmatically invited out of the charmed circle.

We do have a number of hon-0rary clubs and fraternities, but less thain half of what is needed socially. We sorely need competition to revivify Peru's spirit.

This reviviscence can be carried out in just one way, and that is by a good, healthy competitive vying far the favor of the student body on the part of those organizations which are set up to enliven Peru's social life.

For these reasons we suggest: At least one more social organization for men.

At least one more s~cial organization for women, orAt least one, preferably two, social organizations which shall be co-ed.

'JI Peru's student body would soon show signs of vitally imprmed social lite, for there · would be not only competition for membership, but competition f~r leadership in social activities.

'There is no queition but that there would be competition for

socially motivated student activities.

With no competition the sights are lowered; with competition the sights are raised. With no competitive spirit we ~re in the social doldrums; with a competitive spirit ideas for entertainment are formulated, organized and carried out, adding tone to the kind of entertainment, adding zest to living, and adding a desire ·to enter in on the part of the s udent.

A very limited number of additional organizations would be permitted. If you feel that such a plan has merit, and you have the courage to call a group togethe.r to plan such a venture, enlist the aid of a sponsor, write out a constitution in clear, definite terms; obtain the approval of the administration, and act now.

Just a word of warning! Be careful of what goes into the constitution. D-0 not put into it ideals which you have no inten· tion of livilllg up to, YOU have just been tossed Excalibur! Good luck!

A small display of fireworks were shot off after the game by members of the Chamber of Commerce. And, the music was furnished by a record player rather than a band as advertised.

I am sure fun was had by all.

The third win for Avenue..Store was chalked up against Tecumseh on the Peru diamond July 9. U was a loosely played game with the score winding up 14-13.

Tecumseh went into the lead in the early inings aIJ.d was leading 8 to 0 before Avenue Store got started in the bottom of the .4th inning.

The Avenue Store team dropped the second game within a month to Johnson by a score of 7.4 on July 19. This game wa piayed at Johnson with plenty of boos, cat calls, and griping con·'tributed from a poor . losing orowd of Johnson spectators.

Johnson was trailing by a score of 4-0 going into the last of the f!ifth. The pressure was too much on the visiting team and they contributed 8 errors in the last :innings to let Johnson win the game. Bob .J'ames from Nebraska .Cfty, pitching for Peru, allowed hits, while the Peru team also ollected 6 hits.

all the way for Peru with Bill Gilmore behind the plate.

Avenue Store team hit a low ebb Wednesday night, July 26, when they let Talmage take them into cleaning 10-2. This is one of the teams they had beaten badly before; but this time the Avenue Store team fell apart. They couldn't field, they couldn't hit, they couldn't run bases, they couldn't play together, and they couldn't listen to signals. Well, they just couldn't do anything right on the di;miond. The battery for Peru was Doyle Gump on the mound and Ted McCartney behind the plate.

Tennis Tourney Nears End

The unbeatable Peru VFW softball team finally met their "Waterloo." They dropped two games to Omaha Metz and one to John-

The Peru State Teachers Col.. lege tennis tournament was planned about tw9 months ago, and is still in operation with all three .tourneys in the semi-final round.

The three tourneys set up were men singles, women singles, and women doubles.

There were 12 entries in the men singles. The four top ceded men were Bob Faunce, last year's champion, \Fred Thomas, Paul Gilbert and Otis Morgans.

Fred Thomas has reached the finals by whipping Jack Brawner 6-1, 13-0, Bob Startzer 6-3, 6-1, and Paul Johnston 6-1, 6-0. Paul Gilbert is Bob Faunce's opponent in the semi-finals by "out racketing" .Stanley Longfellow 4-6, 6-2, 6-0, and Bill Gilmore 6.:.2, 6-4. Otis Morgans who drew a bye in the first round was downed by Paul J ohnsfon in the second round 6-3, 6-4.

There were 10 entries in the women singles. There were two ceded: Phyllis Davidson and Lois Christenson. Miss Davidson drew a bye the first round and racked out a 6-0, 6-0 /'\Vin over Grace Seeba in the second ~und to become Rosie Kyle's opponent in the semi-finals. Miss Christensen downed Margaret Genoa 6-1, 6-2, Dorothy Erhart 6-2, 6-2, and June Phara 6-0 to get a place in the

son.

The VFW team was beaten twice in the same night by the Omaha Metz team. There was too much class in the "State Champions" for the Peru ·team. The score for the first game was 3-0, and Peru called the game in the top of the 4th in the second game when they saw they were ·going to get "hit out of the park." The score at this time was 7-i.

The vFw team bounced badk the next night, July 9, to rap a win over one of their Nebraska City league rivals, Nebraska City WW. The score wound up 9-5.

Sunday, July 15, the VFW team travel.ed to Johnson to take a tightly fought game 2-1. Johnson, a team that is a member of the Southeastern League. has never lost a game on the field; to ~. crowd, the umpires have lost every ~me for them. Peru college students playing on the Johnson team are Marvin Gerdes and ·Lee Hopp.

The ¥FW rapped out a win over the colored team out of Omaha again. Butch Railsback on the mound and Dayle Bruns hitting a home run played a great part in setting the Crosstown Cleaners back 4-0. The colored fellows put on the game of "shadow ball" again, and it was enjoyed by all.

Sunday, July 22, the V'FW team was set back 5-4 at the hands of Johnson on the Johnson diamoiid.

It is nice to know 'the umpires didn't deal Johnson another defeat.

Budget Events Provide Variety For Summer Audiences Library Science Enters Field Two courses offered in requirements for those students wishing to prepare themselves for school librarian or teacher librarians with a minimum of six hours of credit in library science. The N'o:rth Central .Alssociation of coikges and Secori~ary Schools require that schools with an enrollment ·of less than 200 pupils, must. have at least· two. periods a day ' of the teacher-librarians devoted to the library, and the librarian must have completed a minimum of six hours credit in aibraxy scjence.. ()ne three-hour course is offered each semester of the regular school year, and both courses are given during the summer. All four Teachers Colleges in Ne·braska are offering similar courses.

Miss Nellie Carey, librarian, teaches Organization and Administration of School Libraries, and Mrs. Flora Stolz, assistant librarian, teaches Cataloging and 'Reference Work.

These courses are off.erect as English electives, but a teacher . librarian does not necessarily ;need to be an English teacher.

Many combinations offer place for the teacher-librarian. Three of the members of this summer's classes have Teacher-ILibra.rian positions for this fall.

'I'.qe l'eru Placement Bureau reports several calls for teacher[ibrarians.
