Full-Time Enrollment Has Slight Increase Part-Time Decreases First-week enrollment at Peru State College shows a slight increase in full-time students with an over-all total approximately the same as a year ago, according to President Neal S. Gomon. Full· time enrollment is up 3.2 percent with part-time enrollment showing a corresponding drop. Total college on-campus enrollment at the close of the first full week of school was 777.

Campus high school enrollment is 120, up 22 students over 1a s t year. The campus elementary school enrolled 157, down from last year's total of 164.

Enrollment in off-campus extension classes will be held in several centers during the week of September 23. Registration in these classes is expected to bring the total' enrolled for college work above th~ 900 mark.

Annual Variety Show Pleases Large Crowd The annual Fall Variety Show was held in the auditorium .on Sept. 24, 1963, at 8:00. Mr. James Levitt was M. C., and organizer; his was:· Tom Aitken.

Kicking ..off the show was the freshman chorus line doing a comedy version of Pomp and Circumstance. The 10 dazzling bea.u~ies participating were: Pat Knippelmier, Kathy Rosenbaum, Connie Hoschar, Vicki Nye, Cherie Trevino, Sharon . Allen, Betty Koester, Amy Becske, Sheryl Davis, and Carol Kuenning.

The crowd c o n t e n t e d 1 y munched popcorn as the show sped along. Some technical difficulties slowed down the production.

Nancy Reed, the girl with the new false teeth, did a reading called Abigail.

Beverly Parde, this year's Miss Beatrice did her winning number, "I Caint Say No!" from Oklahoma.

Dancing played an important part in this year's show. The music and dance steps showed a very modernistic theme. Twelve gyrating freshmen did an impressive, if quiet dance. Karen Workman, Amy Becske, Carol Lich, Cherie Trevino, Pat Knippelmier, Sheryl Davis, Roger Gilford, Jim O'Donoghue, Jon Haase, Tom Bresnahan, Jack McVickers, Alan Richard, took part. Linda Elliott and Frank Spizuoco did a dance revue of the new popular dances, such as "The Bug." John Bstandig played a piano solo "Unchained Melody" and sang "I Wonder."

r

Carol Kuenning gave her impressions of President Kennedy with highlights about Lyndon Johnson.

Mary Sautter did a combination classical and modern dance.

Barbara Thompson presented a pantomime and dance routine to the tune "Sweet Old Fashioned Girl."

Miss Nebraska City, Karen Renken, put her skill in baton twirling and acrobatics to use in her dance.

Paul MacNeil and Tom Majors very effectively portrayed an elec phant ... joke.

The pictures were taken . by Earl Horano; president of Brown & Horano Studios, North Platte, N.ebraska. Four proofs will be sent to those who were photographed. Mr. Horano urges that the students return the proof of their choice directly to his studio and not to the Peruvian office. If a selected proof is not returned by a student, the studio will choose a proof.

President Gamon spiked the program with humor and gave advice on making a good investment out of college life.

The faculty joined the upperdassmen and beanies in singing a round of the color song.

Mr. Benford, organist, made the tempo of the Color Song into a snappier rendition for the students exit.

PERU STATE COLLEGE PERU, NEBRASKA

STUl>lES 'A.RE :IM.00~ What is the core of college life? Is it the basketball team, the Bob Inn, the clubs, the card games, the lobby of Morgan Hall? True, these are all essential for a well-rounded college student; but they are not the most important things. Though a student may participate in all these things, they are of little value to him, at least after graduation, without emphasis on one other vital area. This vital area is scholastics.

Scholastics is the core of college life.

An honor roll· average is not something to be laughed at or ridiculed. It should be something everyone strives to achieve. Here is where the emphasis of college should be placed. A student who is active in extra-curricular activities, but disinterested in scholastics, is a failure as a student.

In many colleges and universities, scholastics is the one big, important area. Students strive to make clubs based on scholastic ability and contributions to the school life. Isn't it time that more Peru Staters started aiming their effort toward higher scholastic achievement? Many do now, but too many do not. They are satisfied with a 4 or 5 average while they are capable of a 6 or 7 average. This is waste. Remember, fellow students, the real core of college life is scholastics.

Doane has lost through graduation half-miler Peter Sura, and Nebraska star athlete of the year Dean White.

Considering available talent at Peru and re building situations of opposing teams, the B o b c a t s should finish at least a strong second. Lack of familiarity with the sport of distance running, by both the squad and among personnel in the athletic department, could, however, easily offset the Bobcat advantages.

Coach James Pilkington is a man known on campus for his enthusiasm for the type of sports activity that separates the men from the boys.

Windhorst and Brenn Get Stagg Awards The first two weekly recipients of the Amos Alonzo Stagg Foundation award to the outstanding Peru State College football player for each game were presented Tuesday at an all-college convocation on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

Presented Amos Alonzo Stagg medallions were fullback Roy Windhorst, Deshler, for his performance against Tarkio College, and tackle Jim Brenn, Hebron,

Maryville Stops Peru A tough Northwest Missouri State line stopped Peru State College in a 24-6 victory Saturday night, Sept. 14. The loss evened the Bobcat record for the season at 1-1, and opened the Missourians' season with their first win in 15 outings.

Quarterback Leo Papas (freshman quarterback at Nebraska last season) and fullback Mike Peterson were the big men for Missouri.

The first tally came early in the second quarter with a 60-yard drive-by, Missoul1i; Peterson.made the conversion good.

Peru's only first half hope was killed when a Witty pass w a s picked oft. Missouri marched to the l'eru 35; then a screen pass put them ahead 13-0; Peterson again split the uprights. Northwest's final tally came in the fourth quarter when M i ck e y Thompson booted a 35-yard field goal.

Larry Clinton, Peru, intercepted a pass on the P~ru 35 and returned it to the Northwest 30. In eleven plays Peru made its only mark of the evening. Bill Witty carried the ball over on a 1-yard plunge.

Windhorst, although injured early in the Tarkio game, refused to acknowledge the shoulder injury and picked up 40 yards in 10 carries, plus playing a tremendous game at his line-backing position to help the Bobcats win a 19-6 decision.

Big 270-pound Jim Brenn displayed outstanding defensive ability in his team's 24-6 loss at Northwest Missouri. The senior tackle is surprisingl;,1' fast and agile for a man of his size.

The Amos Alonzo Stagg award will be presented each week to the outstanding player of the preceding week and is sponsored by the P-Club, Peru State letterman's organization. The award winners are being selected by their teammates.

Bobcats Win Opener, 19-9 ,ii,

Peru State woh its season opener in a 19-6 football conquest over Tarkio (Mo.) College, Saturday, September 7 at Peru. After yielding a first quarter touchdown to the Tarkio Owls, Peru stiffened its defense and grabbed the win by scoring a TD in each of the remaining quarters.

Tarkio's George Henry scored on a 55 yard end-around play to give the Owls a short 6-0 lead.

Peru's defense, which gave up 89 yards rushing and 25 yards passing during the first quarter, came to life to limit the Missourians to 18 yards rushing and 15 yards passing in the final three stanzas.

Quarterback Bill Witty fired touchdown strikes to freshmar.

The award, a bronze medallion, is given each week by the P Club, Peru State varsity letterman organization, to the player who has contributed the most to his team's performance.

Noell, a Plattsmouth High school graduate, scored on c touchdown on a 20-yard pass from quarterback Bill Witty, Syracuse, and played a great defensive game to spark his teammates to a 39-6 victory over St. Mary of the Plains at Dodge City, Kansas.

New Housemother At Morgan Hall

THE AVENUE STORE

Mrs. Marie Beckley, new housemother for Morgan Hall, comes from Lincoln.

For two years before coming to Peru, Mrs. Beckley was a housemother at the Cedar's Home for Children in Lincoln. She was in charge of about 15 boys ranging in ages from two to twelve.

Her hobbies are sewing, bowling, and reading. She also likes to watch some sports and listen to some types of music.

Mrs. Beckley thinks she will like Peru very much but w as wondering about the driving conditions in the winter. She then mentioned that she shouldn't be worried because she can't drive.

When asked if there would be any dorm changes, she said there were no new plans as yet. She wanted the girls to know that if any needs arose, they would certainly be considered.

Edward Albee, au th o r of Broadway hit "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", is an electrifying new playwright. He expresses the fundamental philosophy of the beat generation.

The play poses a conflict between conformity and revolt, and the practical and idealism. The play is a harrowing portrait of a young man estranged from the human race. Jerry seeks fulfillment in others rather than from himself. The play demonstrates an attempt of the atavistic to overcome the idealistic.

Much Blood Spilled In "Double-barreled" Homecoming Production

BY LONN PRESSNALL

Two death-dealing one - act plays· were presented Homecoming evening at Peru State. The audience settled in their seats as the curtains parted for "Hello Out There" by William Saroyan.

It wasn't long before the spectators sat straighter and were feeling the tension build as the "Young Man" and "Girl" were tragically trying to overcome their loss of contact with the world. Hopes were climbing that the "Young Man" would escape from the jail cell when the angry husband entered, the scene, but the viewers were really jolted from their comfort when he pulled a .45 caliber pistol and shot three bullets into the "Young Man." The play closed with some very fine acting by the "Girl" who, like the "Young Man," was trying to make contact with someone.

DELZELL HALL By Wendell Wiksell

There are a lot of clean happy boys in Delzell Hall now, and all it took to bring about this pleasant change was a little hot water.

Hardly anyone realized his dependency upon the hot water until he had to live without it for about a week. Nevertheless, we are all glad that whatever it was that broke has been repaired and hot water is back.

Lowell Brown and Joe Hertz are still recuperating from t h e long hours they spent in preparation for Homecoming. Both of the boys deserve a lot of credit for a job well done.

A lot of the talk around Delzell Hall concerns the newly-initiated plan of opening the gymnasium and swimming pool to the students on the week-ends. This is Peru State's first big step in producing an Olympic swimmer or an All-American basketball player. The facilities are now available and all we need is the talent. It may be easier if the students provided the facilities and Peru State provided the talent. Well, anyhow, the boys are grateful for the use of the pool and gym on the week-ends.

School will not be held during Teachers Convention and many of the dorm residents have devised plans to ease the disappointment. Among the boys planning trips are: Kit Wildenger and Kenneth Hicks, a trip to Chicago; Dale Burgess, a trip to Detroit Michigan; Mex Vesha, Ji~ O'Donoghue, Bruce Giovanello Ron Christianson, and Tom Bres~ nahan are planning a trip to Fort Collins, Colorado, to attend the Colorado State H o m e c o mi n g game. Bob Hayn, Mike Harmon Dick Estes, Lowell Brown, Ji~ Evilsizer, and Tom and Joe Hertz are going to Woodriver, Illinois.

Three .members of the Triple C-T Club, an exclusive organization for promising young men of the future, are staying at Delzell Hall this semester. They are Tom Yopp, Joe Smith, and Dom LaRocca. They plan to follow the football team to Macomb, Illinois.

There may be a new college fad in the making at Peru Staie.

What started out to be a flat top turned into a round top. Tom Bresnahan did a take-off on Gene Burgess's .short hair, but did him one better. Tom had his head

c6mp1eteiy shaved. This caused quite a commotion in room 213 as twenty-eight boys jam:ined in to witness the shaving. For refreshments the boys ate Tom's semester supply of taffy.

It will not be very long before mid-term grades come out and although it is perhaps too late to bring some of the grades up, many of the boys are adjusting themselves mentally to accept the grades they have earned. Lots of luck!

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Eleanor Frandsen

Eliza Morgan Hall saw many familiar faces as "ole" grads were here for Homecoming. Questions such as "Where are you teaching?", "What are you doing now?", and many others echoed throughout the halls all day long.

QUIET HOURS! The wing counselors were recently elect<!d.

They are: basement-Kay Bender; first-Norma Steele and Janis Mayer; second-Ginny Grossman, Linda Elliot, and Pat Richardson; and third-Karon Rathe Kay Camden, and Linnea Ing~ uerson. The patrol seems to be quite alert, so watch it girls.

Morgan Hall held its first practice fire drill Tuesday, October 8, at 10:30. Following the fire drill, all girls went to the lobby, where Miss Juanita Bradley brought some important matters to the attention of the girls.

Sharon Richardson is pinned to Kent Wallace of Midland. Congratulations, Sharon.

Karen Harpster a n d Laura West seem to be very busy tend· ing their corn. For further information, talk to them.

Norma Steele is running an advice department for the love lorn girls on first floor. Norma, better known as "Auntie Norma" is willing to extend her servic~s to all love lorn girls in the dorm.

If your problems are getting you down, see "Auntie Norma."

Linda O'Hara was given a surprise birthday party on her birthday by Lindia Elliot, M a r t y Greenlee, Jeanette Fox Judy Whigham, Beverly Parde: Frances Sanders, and Ann Epley.

Birthday wishes also go to Lol'ene Kostal, Glenda Fritzen Lucille Christensen, Sharon D~nlan, Jo Ann Frerichs, Cheryl Davis, and Connie Rademacher.

The Student Governing Association is the representative student voice on campus. It exists to coordinate campus organizations, assist in making and enforcing rules, represent the students before the administration, and to carry out other assigned duties.

One assigned duty is the organization of the Freshman Initiation. This began two years ago when initiation was beginning to get out of hand. Rather than see initiation abolished entirely, the SGA proposed that it be allowed to set up a program that would be satisfactory to all involved.

This was accepted and has, been carried out each year since that time.

The SGA is to sponsor one allcollege event each year. As has been customary in the past, Homecoming was SGA's assigned event. There is much planning and work to be done for this major event. Thus much of the SGA's time has been directed toward this the past few weeks.

One of the present problems that ,concerns the SGA is the lack of recreation for students on week-ends. An SGA proposal that the gymnasium be opened on Saturdays and Sundays h a s been a~cepted by the administration. The possibility of having regularly scheduled movies in the auditorium or elsewhere is being explored. Encouragement and assistance is given campus organizatfons for sponsorship of weekend social functions; The Organization Approval Committee plans to require a good statement of purpose from each organization as is outlined in the constitution. If a statement of purpose is not submitted or if it is not fulfilled, the respective . organization is subject to probation or suspension.

Representatives of the Student Center Board and the SGA met together September 24 to determine their respective responsibilities. Elimination of overlapping functions and better coop• eration between the two organizations was discussed but little progress was made toward this end.

Last spring, the need for a stronger Judiciary Board w a s pointed out :by the SGA. Many meetings were held to discuss the problem fulYy. A resultant proposal for a three member recommendation committee for discipline cases has been presented to the administration. The Judiciary Board has been meeting weekly to discuss this and other problems within their realm.

A committee is being organized to collect and channel student suggestions and proposals.

Better methods of obtaining them are being worked out at the present time.

All standing committees are to hold a minimum of one meeting a month. Reports of same are to be prepared: for regular SGA meetings. Soon a list of all committees will be ready to present to the student bodiy.

Can You Debate?

The question is resolved: That the Federal Government Should Guarantee an Opportunity for Higher Education :to All Qualified. High School Graduates. What is the answer?

If any student at Peru State College reveals that he can produce a sound argument on this question, whether pro or con, he will probably receive a summons

to appear before Mr. J. D. Levitt.

A Peru debate team has not been selected, but potential candidates in Mr. Levitt's debate class have begun to analyze the resolution.

Invitations to seven debate tournaments have been received

by Mr. Levitt. The first announced date is November 1, 1963.

A Stagecoach At Peru The Old West never heard of such a thing!

There is a stagecoach on t h e campus at Peru State College with power brakes, power steering, and a 4-speed automatic transmission.

"Stagecoach" is the campus nickname given the 15-passenger '63 Pontiac station wagon recently added to the transportation fleet at Peru. The nickname sprang from the1 company name, Stageway Inc. cit Ft. Smith, Arkansas, where the unit was customized according to order.

While still a Pontiac at b o t h ends, it was once a nine passenger station wagon. It was cut in half behind the driver's seat so that additional seating capacity and doors could be added, a n d then 'Welded together with reinforced steel.

This modern stagecoach is powered by a 286 h.p. engine, has five seats, eight doors, a tailgate, dual heaters, and a luggage rack on top. It will be used primarily as transportation for smap teams and groups that would otherwise have to use several cars, or more expensive travel by chartering service.

Mr., Ebner, who brought the stagecoach home to Peru, states that it handles very nicely.

It wouldn't be hard riding shotgun on this one.

Alumni Luncheon Honors Graduates The Alumni Luncheon on Homecoming was attended by about 100 people. They came from various states including Washington, California, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. After a nice dinner, there was much visiting with old friends.

Alumni who graduated in years ending in eight or three were honored. Luncheon hosts at the table for the special years were Mr. Don Carlile for 1913 and earlier; Mr. Hanford Miller, 1918 an d 1923; Dr. John Christ, 1923 and 1933; Mr. James Robbins, 1938 · and 1943; Mr. Lester Russell, 1948 and 1953; and Mr. Lyle Strom, 1958 and 1963.

Mrs. Helen Pollard of Peru was earliest graduate at the luncheon.

Athletic Director Al Wheeler

BY GARY CARVILLE

Athletic director, Al Wheeler, a man who has left a trail of accomplishments and records in the wake of his career, remembers what it was like when he first came to Peru State College.

He recalls when smoking on campus for both students and faculty members was forbidden.

He remembers the luxury of ample parking, for at that time there wasn't a student on campus who owned a car. n was during the depression when money was very scarce, and there were no tuition charges. It was 1938, the same year he married the former Miss Francis Rudisill of Crouse North Carolina. · ' He remembers the intensity of the school spirit, when athletes played without benefit of a n y scholarships whatsoever; and remarked on how the college recruiting systems have changed throughout the years because of scholarship grants.

Mr. Wheeler was an outstanding athlete during his college days. He was named to the AllOhio football and basketball teams in his senior }"ear. He never played on a scholarship and was never offered one. As Coach Wheeler put it, "Nowadays everyone wants a scholarship, but in those days they were unheard of."

Mr. Wheeler was graduated from Oberlin College of Ohio in 1922. He had aspirations of becoming a physician and furthering his education in the stU:dy of medicine, but due to illness in his family he was unable to continue. He received his M.A. at Columbia University in 1937 previous to his appointment at Peru.

The. first football t e a m he coached won only one game for the season. However, it was just a short period of time before his ability began to show, for the next year they lost only one game; his third year Peru went undefeated for the season. Since that time, Wheeler-coached football teams have turned in two more undefeated seasons, and won five and tied one conference championship. In basketball, his teams have won two championships and participated in five N.A.I.A. National Tournaments.

He also coached track for eight years and won two conference crowns.

Wheeler had a winning period of 26 consecutive football games from mid-season '51 to mid-season '54. In 1956, he was named· by the N .A.I.A. to the Helms Foundation Hall of Fame, L o s Angeles. It was the first year that football coaches had been elected to this foundation, which had been organized in 1936. It was established to give credit to those in the field of athletics throughout the world deserving special recognition.

In 1960, Coach Wheeler retired as head football coach, a position he had held for 23 years. President Neal S. Gomon paid him tribute at that time by saying, "It is doubtful if any college in the country, large or small, can match the successful football record of Peru State during the last 23 seasons."

At this time, Mr. Wheeler is Peru's athletic director, head of the physical education department, and head: baseball coach.

He stated that his main objective is to train and help build healthy young men to be suitable coaches of the future. He has been very successful, and Peru, largely because of his efforts, has established a reputation for providing exceptionally capable instructors. This is proven by the large number of requests from

outside the state in regard to acquiring a Peru graduate.

Coach Wheeler is a resident of Peru and enjoys playing golf. !tis difficult to say, how a man like Mr. Wheeler, who has devoted so much time and effort to his college within the last 26 years, could possibly have had: time to learn the game andi play it as well as he does.

Harriers Second In Triangular Peru State College Friday provided the winning runner b u t deeper strength gave William Jewell College a victory in a triangular cross country meet at Tarkio College. William Jewell scored 25 points, Peru 31, a n d host Tarkio trailed with 85 points.

Peru's Jim O'Donoghue, Worcester, Mass., clocked the 2.8 mile Tarkio course in 14:05 to take first place. William Jewell's Bob Hatcher was second in 14:09, and was closely followed by teammate Ashby Cooper in 14:12.

Coach Jim Pilkington's Peru harriers picked up fourth, sixth, ninth and eleventh places in Frank Graham, Pawnee City (14:22); Louis Fritz, Verdon (14:45); Paul MacNeil, Hamburg, N. Y. (15:34), and Bill Rinne, Steinauer (16:01).

William Jewell runners Chuck Donald, Allen Harris, Larry Holley, and Bill Stitson notched the other Jewell points by placing fifth, seventh, eighth and tenth.

Doane Defeats Peru In Cross-country Coach Jim Pilkington's harriers went down in defeat 26-29 before a country team from Doane.

Bobcat Jim O'Donoghue 1 e d from the gun for a 5:16 first mile, but was .unable to hang on and slipped to fifth place.

Doane's Gallegos and Sura finished second and third behind Frank Graham of Peru, who won the 2.5 mile race in the s l o w time of 13:33. Louie Fritz placed fourth as the Bobcats held out for three of the first five places.

The Doane harriers took the short hills with greater skill, and engineered all five men to the finish before the Bobcats could fill the gap between their third and fourth slots.

The green Bobcats will have time to season before meeting Doane again at the NCC meet at Wayne on November 2, 1963.

Tigers Outgrow! 'Cats

BY KEN OLSON

The Tigers of Doane, hosted by Peru on Saturday, October 12, were fired, ferocious, and fighting ready in 19-7 defeat of the favored Bobcats.

The blazing orange colored Tigers added' to the fall colored brown of the oaks, but subtracted from the spirit of a small Bobcat homecoming turnout. · The Bobcat defeat was rated a surprise by even the old letter grads who regard Doane as a perennial tough nut for Peru.

Peru led with a second quarter Witty to Noell 26 yard pass play.

An added kick by McCoy p u t 'Doane in a 7-0 half time deficit.

The orange blazed into d>0mination the second half by running off 53 plays to the Bobcats 19.

The Bobcats threw 12 aerials for 77 yards. Three were caught

by Peru, and four were stdlen by linebacker Dan Tesar of Doane, who contributed 62 yards to the Tiger victory.

All-NCC back from 1962, Roger Nieveen, outgained Peru on the ground with a total of 129 yards.

He was aided by quarterback, Terry Discoe, who was responsible for tying the game with a 49 yard pass to John Hood off a fake punt. The extra point was good

by Nieveen. Discoe continued the onslaught over a demoralized heavy Bobcat line with a one _ yard sneak after a Bobcat fumble.

Doane's final tally came from 13 yards out on a sprint in the final quarter.

Peru gambled on a fourth quarter down play from its own 13 and lost.

Indians Outrun Bobcats In Cross-country On Friday, October 11, the Peru State College cross-country team was beaten on their home course 23-32 by the Omaha University Indians.

Omaha's Ken Gould, taking a wide and early lead, was the individual winner on the 2.5 mile course in 13:08. Gould, seemingly unaware that he was setting a new course record, floated the final 800 yards to the finish.

Frank Graham and Louis Fritz finished 2-3, but the Indians finished the balance of their squad in the gap before Jim O'Donoghue could bring in eighth place.

The Bobcats, who have won 1 out of 4 meets, chose a day with ideal weather for competition.

Gymnastics' Carnival Accomplishes Goal

BY GARY CARVILLE The carnival· that took place at the gymnasium, on Oct. 1, was the first of its kind at Peru State College. Coach Pilkington originated the idea as a means for raising funds for the betterment of the gymnastics' program.

The attractions within the gym were Don and Joe's penny pitch, a dart balloon throw, a basketball toss, a fishing well and a shooting range. A weight lifting contest was held, in which Calvin Miller took highest heavyweight honors with a lift and press of 180 lbs.

Joe Hertz won a chin-up contest with a total of 24. Larry Trimble was the winner of a standing broadjump contest with a jump of 9 ft. 11/4 inches. The .prizes for the contests were meal tickets to an exclusive restaurant.

At the outside front of the gym,

situated on the campus grass, there were three more attractions. The two main attractions were the tomato throw and the water dunk. John Soby was the victim of the rotten tomato throw with the protection of a catcher's mask that leaked. In the water dunk, Ron Robbins w a s dunked from a platform into a tub of water by means of a baseball hitting a designated target.

A trampoline area had very little activity compared to the interest that was shown toward the other two.

The entire carnival was erected, run and operated by the gymnastics club. The proceeds ($125), will be used to furnish n e w equipment and supply jackets which will be awarded at the end of the year on competitive standards.

Kearney Tramples Peru 35-0

Peru-Hastings Tie 12-12

BY KEN OLSON

A green Bobcat defense, which could not contain the methodical gridders of Kearney State, bit the home dust of the Oak Bowl in a 35-0 defeat.

The Antelopes marched 64 yards with the opening kick-off, which ended in a TD on a fourth and one situation. Only seven minutes and 10 seconds of the first quarter had passed as quarterback Dick Butolph booted the seventh point.

Peru fought back to the• Kearney 10 before the onslaught began. They were unable to launch another convincing drive until the waning minutes of the fourth quarter.

With the clock showing s i x minutes and four seconds left until ha,lftime, the score w a s Kearney 21 and Peru O. Paced by left-handed Butolph, who completed 12 out 17 passes for 117 yards, the Antelopes amassed a ground and aerial total of 366 yards. Much of the Bobcats' undoing came by way of Kearney's Bill Backes, who scored on a 23 yard reverse in the second quarter and tallied a second touchdown on a five yard slash down the middle. Right end Jim Erwin pulled in two Butolph passes for 12 points.

Although the Antelope backfield ran and passed fr e e l y through the Bobcat secondary, the Bobcat line did comparably well against the quick and cocky Antelope defenders.

Kearney's defeat of . Peru has

A Bobcat statistical rout yielded only a 12-12 tie with NCC foe Hastings College.

Peru gridders gained a 333-207 advantage in total offense, rolled up 22 first downs against 9 f o r Hastings, and collected two TD's on passes by quarterback Bill Witty.

Hastings hung on to five recovered fumbles and a 12 point squeak.

Gary Sindelar's field goal attempt for victory from the Hastings 19 sailed wide. Sindelar's attempt came after the Bobcats had driven from their own 2 to the Hastings 8 in the waning minutes of the final period.

"P" Club Luncheon The annual "P" Club Homecoming luncheon was held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, in the Peru State cafeteria.

Along with the lunch and a welcome to the old-timers by Coach Mcintire, the program was highlighted by introductions and humor, as it has been every year,

by Director of Athletics, Al Wheeler.

It was a small group of old grads who appeared for the '63 welcome, but they brought back a little nostalgia from past Peruvian football power.

Invitations to the luncheon are limited to football lettermen of the past and the present Bobcat squad. unplugged the main stopgap enroute to the second consecutive NCC title.

Circus Sponsored

By Peru Kiwanis

The annual All School Picnic was held Friday evening, September 27, in the Oak Bowl. A serving line was est.ablished in front of the stadium Steps. Freshmen "volunteers" then served the meal.

The Peru Kiwanis Club sponsored a circus. The circus was presented Monday, October 1, 1963. Two programs were given.

One was at 4:00 p.m. and the other at 8:00 p.m.

A movie, "The Devil at 4 O'clock" was shown in the auditorium later in the evening.

After the movie, the cheerleaders conducted a pep rally in the clearing south of Majors Hall.

A huge bonfire built by a group of freshmen added to the spirit of the rally. SGA, who sponsored the above events, was pleased with the large number who attended.

Practical Arts Division Leads In 1963-64 Freshman Enrollment

SGA Committee On Requests and Proposals

BY KEN OLSON "Sincere student loyalty is at least one-fourth of good college structure."

This is the philosophy of the .chairman of the Committee on Requests '1J.n<'hF.ro!'~S§.:1s at Fetu State College. Even the title of this committee suggests a more positive approach than did its predecessor, the Complaints Committee. It takes a lot of sincere loyalty to keep it positive. Let's demonstrate our loyalty by taking an active part in offering constructive suggestions and requests, for improvement in our college educational system, and for the welfare of the student and faculty.

The ·committee assumes that the faculty and campus organizations have set up certain regulations to help students achieve a good education and to facilitate the operation of the college. The basic spirit of these regulations must be maintained even though the following conditions arise: college regulations will occasionally work to the disadvantage of a particular student, or group of students, and the content of the student body will change in step with time, progress and growth.

The purpose of this committee is to funnel into the awareness of campus policymakers whatever constructive requests or proposals it receives. Whether student or faculty, signatures on these entries will be held in strict confidence and issued only with the permission of the entrant. The Committee on Requests and Proposals is not a decision making body in essence, but rather an important link in campus communication.

The funnel is in the form of a suggestion box which may be seen by looking to your left as quickly as you step inside the Administration Building door; there, on top of a bookshelf will be a locked box, with a single key held by the Committee on Requests and Proposals.

Let's clear the dust from the box; let's demonstrate sin<:ere loyalty to a great school.

Alonzo Stagg Winners

Independent study constitutes the nucleus of Dr. Schottenhamel's introductory history course, American History to 1865. This three hour course meets the third and fourth periods on Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday's dass is divided into two groups of students, with each group receiving a one hour period of instruction by means of their own individual reports and small group discussions. All students meet Thursday for one hour of lecture instruction by the professor.

The reason for this type of instruction? Dr. Schottenhamel believes that "Education is a continuing process; but many times the learning process is stifled after graduation because of 'spoonfed' instructional philosophies commonly found in institutions of higher education. Therefore, if an integrated program of study and participation between teachers and students can be achieved and maintained throughout one's (Continued on page two)

Scoreless since the Bobcats bombed St. Mary of the Plains, 39 to 6, September 21, Miller logged touchdown runs of a yard, two yards and nine yards at Chadron.

"He ran right over a tackler when he scored one," Coach Jack Mcintire noted of the 5-10, 190pound halfback's performance.

A hurdler in track, Miller enjoyed his greatest afternoon in a collegiate role while averaging 6.9 yards in the 38-to-6 conquest.

"We alternated units, some· thing we had not done before," Mcintire mentioned. "I think it it helped in the altitude."

Lacking spark in a 19-to-7 defeat against Doane the week before, Peru recovered, Mcintire explained, because "we were playing some kids that wanted to do the job."

Quarterback Bill Witty was hobbled by an ankle injury, "but he played all the time."

"He (Witty) only got bumped twice, and our end play was pretty good. We rushed that Chadron passer pretty well."

School Life 1800-1963

BY RICHARD ELMORE Students who plan to be teacl1ers should be thankful that this is 1963. There are many advantages for teaching now instead of in the 1800's, but one of the main ones is the difference in rules and codes of ethics.

The following are some rules from a time when a teacher's life differed greatly from now: A teacher should spend 10 hours of each day in school and the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books. Women tea<:hers would be dismissed if they married or took part in bad conduct. Men teachers were allowed one evening each week for dating or two evenings if they regularly attended church.

Each teacher was to fill the lamps, clean chimneys, bring a bucket of water, and provide coal for each day. He also had to make the pens for the students.

The worth and integrity of a teacher was suspected if he smoked, drank liquor, went into a pool hall, or was shaved in a barber shop. Every teacher who faithfully taught for five years was given a 25-cent weekly increase in pay, if the board of edu<:ation agreed.

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By

Eleanor Frandsen Halloween seems to h a v e haunted Morgan Hall. Jack-olanterns and other signs of Halloween can be seen in the rooms and on the doors.

Connie Dietl, Carolyn Mercer, Karen Cahow, and Peggy O'Neill participated in a "grubby room contest." It lasted four days starting October 13 running _through October 17. The main rule was "anything dropped or thrown anywhere in the room couldn't be picked up." Connie and Carolyn emerged as winners with· a certificate for their efforts presented to them by Susan Sharp, the judge.

The new fad hitting Morgan Hall lately has been "auctions."

Girls who are tired of the i r clothes and have things lying around that they don't want any more are auctioning them off. Also, girls who are having financial problems seem to be having auctions. Watch it, girls! You may regret selling some of your belongings later on.

Some of the girls have gone on a spree of changing the color of their hair. Karoyle Kenning tried too hard. So girls, if you want a change. of hair color, a piece of advice is, "Read and follow the instructions."

Birthday congratulations go to Linda Elliott, Barbara Lasko, and Janey Moore.

He acquired his chronological nickname by assuming a large part of the responsibility in a key victory over Wayne, which won the NCC title and put the Bobcats into the' '63 NAIA Tournament.

Home ground e n t h u s i a s m , scores, and other statistics will very often distort good judgment and, consequently, proper rating of teams.

Jack Mcintire Has Triple-coaching Role Jack Mcintire, a man with a phenomonal record in a triplecoaclllng role, is one of the chief reasons that Peru is a sports powerhouse. He is head football, basketball, and track coach. Coach Mcintire is a Nebraska City product.

When he graduated from high school, he weighed 128 pounds, and was not given much hope of becoming. a top college athlete.

However, he enrolled at Peru in 1938 and made All-State three times as a center in football and once as a guard in basketball. He was so good that the N.A.I.A. voted him a member to the Helms Hall of Fame for football located in Los Angeles, California. He also participated in track at Peru.

"Mac's" eye-catching records at Peru State include a 125-56 record in basketball and five out of the last six conference titles.

In football, his impressive mark is 12-3-3 and one Nebraska College Conference title in the last two years. As evidence of his coaching ability, he was elected president of the National Coaches Association for 1960-61.

Perhaps the fifth and sixth grades who have been studying Mexico, also have a ·hard time keeping their minds on their work.

Taking a big step upstairs, we also find much activity going on in the high school. Last Saturday six FHA girls attended a convention in Weeping Water. Although they were slightly worn out from the game the night before, they had a very enjoyable day.

SPENCE IS DEAD Gloom spread over the Peru State Campus the last night of October as the news spread of a head-on crash south of town that put five students in hospitals and killed Spencer Pebley.

Perhaps the best way to express how Peru stud~ts felt about Spence is to give a few quotes from a letter written by a friend to the Ped staff. The author requested her name remain secret.

"Spence would have been twenty next July 30, b~t not now-because Spence is dead. He met death when his car (the Wild Woodpecker, he'd named it) crashed with another car. Within two hours after the crash, his life had ebbed away, and Spence was gone forever from t~ose who . lov~d him. All his dreams, and those of people mcluded m his dreams, are now nothing. And he had many dreams - very much to live for.

"He was a sophomore, majoring in industrial arts. Things were going well for Spence, and in a few years he and the girl he'd gone steady with for over two years planned to be married.

"But these things are at an end now. .

"The Wild Woodpecker will never. take Spence an_d his girl anywhere again. It will never agam ~onk out a fr1e.ndly 'hello' to his friends and neighbors. It is a torn, twisted piece of metal now. . .

"I cannot think that Spence died for nothmg. He was too good for that. I thought that his tragedy would slow people down somewhat, but apparently most p~opl~ have forgotten what happened to him now. I hope this will help their memories."

-S. P. L. WANTED: NAME

The college newspaper needs a new title. It has been called the Pedagogian for the last 59 years.

One of the major reasons for this change is the fact th~t the root word of the title, "pedagogue," is obsolete. T~e definition of this term is: "a teacher.; especially a pedantic, dogmatic teacher." Since the word "teachers" has been deleted from the college's official name, the Ped needs a new name.

We must keep abreast of the changing trends. Let's drop this obsolete title. Let's start thinking about a new name for our college newspaper.

He is Joseph Oh, from the Republic of Korea. He is staying in room 107. Joseph is a Korean who plans to attend the regvlar second semester. He had originally planned to attend the first semester, but because of a slight mix-up in plans he arrived at Peru State too late to enroll.

A problem has arisen in Del-' zell Hall concerning mid-term exams. They are ruining the attendance in the television ;room and playing havoc with the many scheduled card games. Relief is in sight, however, as everything should be back to nor· mal by next week.

Twelve of the residents of Delzell are recuperating after many toilsome hours spent on the football field. The boys are taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon to tackle the books instead of opposing football players. These twelve football players are: Pete Campo, Calvin Miller, Floyd Goff, B e r Ii. i e Brown, Kenneth Hicks, Roy Cotton, Allen Sullivan, Joe Burkhiser, David Stewart, Curtis Holliman, Dom LaRocca, and Dave "the whip" Wilson.

Congratulations go to two members of Peru State's crosscountry team who are staying at Defaell. Bill Russell and J i m O'Donoghue helped the team capture second place in the conference meet.

Jim Barnhart became engaged to Barbara Gerdes October 24.

Barbara is a senior at Auburn High School.

Lloyd Russo, Bob Eichenberger, and Ben Kearns began student teaching today. Ben is at Peru Prep, Bob is at Beatrice, and Lloyd is at Bellevue.

KORNER By Ken Olson

By Eleanor Frandsen

The Korner took an early stride down a disastrous road by predicting an NCC third place finish for the Bobcats. Much further down this disastrous road are men who think Nebraska's gridders could possibly be in the nation's first ten. On the edge of a cliff at the road's end is a man shouting a comparison of Kearney's quarterback Dick Buto1ph to Terry Isaacson of the Air Force. Below, heaped high on the canyon floor the dead are confessing, "I was overcome by home team enthusiasm."

* •• The Bobcat harriers did what was expected of them by grabbing second place in the NCC behind Kearney. Peru will return for the '64 title race with their first year of seasoning and everybody back. The Antelopes will be less fortunate in retaining lettermen.

**• The Bobcat harrier of least value this fall was Jim Sprague.

Jim ran a good race every time but never counted for score. He will be valuable starting second semester when his eligibility is revived after a transfer "sit out."

Good byes were murmured as those girls in their professional semester left November 8 to begin student teaching. Girls who are leaving to student teach are Cheryl Berner, Carla Jacobson, Sharon Richardson, Janice Jones, and Carolyn Reiber, Beatrice; Sharon Donlan and Linda Jeffers, Bellevue; Judy Hunzeker, Falls City; Winnie Sporer, Nebraska City; Dorothy Edwards and Linda Janson, Lincoln. Susan Sharp and Frances Sanders will be student teaching in Peru, so they will remain in the dorm.

Betty Painter is student teaching in Auburn and will also live in the dorm. Girls, come back and see us often and clue us in on how the other half live.

Carolyn Reiber was honored at a kitchen shower and pizza party. Those present were Glenda Rima, Ruth Rulla, Pat Richardson, Charlotte. Klever, Dorothy Edwards, Peggy Quackenbush, and Mary Lynn Hannah.

Ginny Grossman has been walking around in a daze. It seems Winnie Sporer had taken a picture of Dick Clark's home in Pennsylvania, and has given it to Ginny.

Most of the girls were burning the midnight oil as nine weeks tests rolled around. There were some who went to bed early, and weren't worried too much about their tests. They were the ones

who kept up their studies. Take heed girls, and you won't be·losing a lot of sleep.

Halloween is over, but Connie Dietl and Carolyn Mercer did get to go trick or treating. Both were dressed as ghosts and enjoyed themselves very much. All the doors on first floor were decorated with all kinds of different things.

Birthday congratulations to Marjorie Williss, Norma Steele, Jeanette Fox, Ginny Adkins, Winnie Sporer, Vicki Nye, Kathy Martin, and Connie Dietl.

Dr. and Mrs. Wininger, Mr. and Mrs. Bohlken, and Mr. Levitt were chaperones. Mr. Levitt took several pictures. Ron Peterson was chosen as the grubbiest grub at the dance. Dr. Wininger presented the prize to Ron. After the dance, the cheerleaders led a pep rally and snake dance. The pep rally was for the Wayne game on Saturday.

Peru Cross-Oluntry Team Finishes Second Jn Conference "We didn't win it, but we aceomplished what we set out to do," commented coach Jim Pilkington after his Peru State College cross-country team finished nd in the Nebraska College nferen'ce Meet at Wayne, Saturday.

At the start of this season, Peru's first in ·cross-country for several years, Pilkington was realistic enough to know his Bobcat harriers had little chance to dethrone perennial champion Kearney State, so he aimed his squad at second place and succeeded.

His fears about Kearney were well founded as the Antelopes loped to a crushing victory in 'the five team meet run over a four-mile course.

Kearney tallied only 18 points, · picking up the first three places, ;plus fifth and seventh, while Peru notched second with a team total of 64 points.

Western Illinois Wrecks Bobcats 46-12

Peru State College Saturday fought highly favored Western on intercepted passes to offset an Illinois University to a · near offensive attack which piled up deadlock in the first half before 349 yards. Bill Witty passed for crumbling in the second half and both Bobcat touchdowns-an 86- absorbing a 46-12 loss.

The game, played at Macomb, yard pass play to Curtis Holliman and a 13-yard marker to end Ill., saw Peru and Western each score in the first and s e c o n d Roger Noell.

The final footbml game of the season ended with Peru on the short end of a 52-0 contest with Wayne State College. Wayne displayed rugged line play and a powerful backfield.

Way n e scored the first time they had the football and continued to score two touchdowns in each of th e four quarters. Wayne also added a two-point safety in the second quarter when Gary Bemiss of Wayne tackled Calvin Miller in the end zone. Peru couldn't get started, fumbling seven times during the game.

The Bobcats ended the football season with a 1-3-1 conference record and a 3-5-1 over all record.

It was the final game for five Peru seniors. The five seniors .are: Jim Brenn, Roger Noell, Bruce McCoy, Troy Lyon, and Jim Hall.

On the next play Bill Witty, Syracuse, hit halfback Curtis Holliman, Rockford, Ill., with a touchdown strike. Holliman took the ball on the 14-yard line and loafed in for the counter. Again, Peru's attempt for the two pointer failed.

The second half was all Western as the thin Bobcat squad wore down under WIU's speed and superior depth.

The Illinoians took advantage of a short Bobcat punt to move 37 yards midway in the third quarter with Steward scoring and running the two point <:onversion.

Before the quarter was out, Steward had scored again and taken a pass from Miller for the two-pointer to end the quarter with Western leading 32-12.

On the second play of the final 15 minutes, Steward scored his finale and Angie Vallejo kicked the first of his two extra points.

Western closed her scoring parade with 13:15 left in the game on a 25-yard scoring pass from Miller to end Jim Wakefield and Vallejo's placement.

Peru's only scoring threat in the second half came on Curt Holliman's apparent 78-yard touchdown run, which was called back to the Western 43 where Holliman was ruled out of bounds.

WES LEY FELLOWSHIP Wesley Fellowship met Wednesday, October 30. President Marge Willis told of plans for the next meeting. A worship center will be set up so students may come to worship and stay as long as they wish. Mrs. Paradise, assistant sponsor, will be available for students to discuss problems with her.

Reverend Hankins, W e s 1 e y sponsor, urged someone to represent Peru at the Ecumenical Council to be held December 26J anuary 3 at Athens, Ohio. This meeting involves students of all denominations.

Mr. Fotsch, high school principal, showed the filmstrip "Face to Face" by Helen Kromer to the group. The theme was finding one's self in today's jet-age world. One point was that a single school teacher, receiving only a small pay check a n d struggling to teach 45 youngsters, felt inadequate and only second best. The filmstrip also told of a boy who quit high school, had joined the service, then had failed ·miserably in an attempt to find his place in the world. A minister helped him find th at

place. Finally, the strip showed .. that God sees us as we really are and not as we attempt to fool our friends.

Peru, Town And College, Changed From World War I BY

CURT~S

NELSON

. Stacy Vance, superintendent of buildings and grounds, and the oldest college employee in years of service, knows a lot about what Peru was like at the time of World War I. Stacy was a student then.

During World War I, Peru looked much different than it does today. The enrollment was around 750 students. Once it was almost 900, which is more than we have today.

There was only one dormitory, Mt. Vernon Hall for girls. Many of the students stayed in large rooming houses or private homes.

They would often tend the furnace or do some other odd job, to 'pay the rent.

Students staying off campus usually ·ate at a .restaurant or boarding house. This went on until Delzell Hall was built in 1939. There used to be a cafeteria in .Delzell.

Most of the students would come to Peru by train. There were two passenger trains stopping daily in Peru.

The buildings on the campus included the Campus School, girls' dormitory, power p 1 ant, Administration Building, gym, Library and Music Hall.· The Music Hall used to be the Science Building. Where the Science Hall and the Auditorium are now, there used to be a building called the Old Main.

Around 1918, the ball field was much smaller. The north end was swampy and had a creek running through it. Behind the gym there used to be a large water hole, and every time it rained water would stand there until evaporated.

Downtown Peru had no vacant buildings. There were three barber shops, six grocery stores, and many other businesses. .

Fourth Annual Messiah To Be Presented Dec. 15 On Sunday, December 15, at the College Auditorium, at 3 p.m., the fourth annual performance of the "Messiah" will be presented. As in the past, the chorus and orchestra will be supplemented by musicians from the surrounding communities and various church and civic organizations. Each year the· Music Hall opens its doors to anyone wishing to participate. Contact Mr. Camealy if you would like to be a part of this year's group.

Soloists for this year's presentation are Jo Ann Frerichs, Karon Rathe, Ardith Wininger, Elaine Bath, Marion Gomon, Sharon Johnson, Ginny Adkins, Ruth Rulla, Karen Workman, Curtis Nelson, Ron Bath, Ross Oestmann, Curtis Holliman, David Seward, Mike Janis, and Jim Watson.

All but two members of the class of 1962 at Peru campus school attended funeral services for their classmate, Spencer Pebley, held Sunday in that city. Illness prevented Marion Straw, Nebraska City, and Linda Morrissy of Lincoln from being present.

Among those present were Donna Cox, Keith Marnell and Tom Boatman of Lincoln; Al Wheeler of Grinnell, Iowa; Sharon Fike, Richard Groff, Paul Stevenson, Jerry Sayer, Carolyn Fisher, Tom Majors and Leland Schneider, Peru; Alice Sherman Meyers of Auburn.

Fourteen members of the class attended or are attending college.

Campus School News

BY LINDA COMBS "Be a Thankful Citizen of Nebraska," the elementary bulletin board of the week tells us. Being thankful seems to be the theme of much of the activity in the grade school this week. The kindergarten learned how to draw turkeys and have many Thanksgiving decorations around the room. The fourth and fifth grad· ers mailed letters for their English class and are also studying the central states. The fifth and sixth grades are editing a class newspaper each week and are doing a very fine job.

This week has been picture week for all of the Ca mp us School. On October 29, every· one received his individual. pie· tures. On 0ctol:ier 31; the li i {t"h school had pictures taken for the annual. This meant a hectic day of changing constantly from one outfit to another. Of course, everyone was very sorry to .have to miss class to get his pictures taken.

Work continues on the all school play, "Bull in a China Shop" which is to be held on :Friday, November 15. 'l'he play will be held at 8:00 p.m. in: the college auditorium. We hope that every one will plan to at· tend.

SGA Favors Twe.Oay Registration For Spring SY RAY OGLE The Student Governing Association unanimously passed a resolution recommending that there be a two-day registration period for the spring semester at ·the November 14 meeting. It was felt that there was too much confusion last year with tlie one day registration. Ken Olson, introduced the resolution after Bill Scott reported the Curriculum Committee was considering a two day registration.

The previous week the SG A made recommendations to the faculty committee on absences.

The Legislative Committee prepared several proposals before the regular SGA meeting. The proposal that found the most favor was that there should be one cut allowed per credit hour. This was somewhat of a compromise .for some members felt that there should be unlimited cuts while others felt that there should be no cuts allowed. Many felt that it was a matter that should be left up t? the individual t_eac~er.

NOVEMBER 25, 1963

Number 5

On November 20, the Peru State College campus was honored with a concert by the renowned Mitchell-Ruff Trio. The group is ·composed of musicians from the eastern part of the United States.

Dwike Mitchell, pianist1 is from Jacksonville, Florida. He is a graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music, where he studied under Agi Jamboor, who is a famous Hungarian pianist.

Willie Ruff, bassist who doubles on the French horn, is from Sheffield, Alabama. He has a B.A. and an M.A. in music from Yale University.

John Q. Harris, percussionist, is from Bridgeport, Connecticut.

He has studied under Leo Camera, who is well known on the coast for his drumming.

Although they are jazz specialists, they often delve back into the classics of. Bach and Handel.

This versatility is rarely found in jazz groups. It was stated by Mr. Ruff that the group found jazz more gratifying than the classics because of the new frontiers jazz presents.

The trio has traveled the world over. They have been behind the Iron Curtain at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, where their tour was sponsored by the State Department.

The trio is not o)lly known by personal appearances, but is re-

THANK G-OD FOR LITTLE THINGS In the beginning, the Pilgrims gave thanks to God in the form of a feast; a Thanksgiving. They thanked G9d for helping them through hard times and giving them strength. From that day on, Thanksgiving became a sacred holiday.

Today, we still celebrate by a feast, but commercialized times have caused this once meaningful holiday to lose most of its original beauty. To many people, Thanksgiving is just a feast where relatives and neighbors gather to eat turkey and relate _the latest gossip. The true meaning of Thanksgiving has been lost with time.

We don't stop to think how meaningless life would be if God deprived us of the little things that we take for granted.

notes...quotes... trig ...dig...review... stew fuss...discuss...cram exam •••wow...whew ...pause bthint~go

No one gives thanks for little things.

Life's beauty passes us by, unnoticed, Lost in the never ending babble of the day.

We never imagine that happiness is found in simple things . . . . .

··--·---·---~--

In a friend to love and cry for, In a kind word to soothe a pain, In a smile when a heart is broken, In a helping hand when we falter or stumble.

.

No, we never give thanks, for We never imagine that beauty is found in everyday things . . . . .

In a healthy mind to experience and learn, In a good soul to give to others, In a strong body to accomplish goals, In an understanding heart to help a friend.

No, we never give thanks, for We never imagine that peace is found in quiet things . . . . .

In the breathless splendor of a winter dawn, In the whispered song of a gentle breeze, In the delicate hues of a mossy path, In the silent power of a mighty pine.

BE STILL . . . . .

Close your eyes and let all of life move you, For God shows his love by giving.

THANK GOD FOR LITTLE THINGS. -By Melanie Gould A DAY TO THANK GOD

"A day to remember the Pilgrims and the sufferings they endured."

"A time to be thankful for everything."

"A turkey dinner with family and friends."

"Vacation from school."

"A day for eating too much and regretting it the next several days."

"A day to be thankful for everything that's been given to you."

Let's all stop and think about what Thanksgiving means to us. Too often it is just a festive occasion without any thought as to why we even have a Thanksgiving. This year let's take some time to think about the Pilgrims and why they were thankful.

Thanksgiving is a special day set aside to thank God for all the .things we have, but let's not forget that we should also thank him every other day of the year.

Eric Dorf, one of Delzell Hall's leading guitar players, is giving Stan E. Johnson lessons.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving vacation - many because they want a rest, others for time for working on a project; but, in most cases, for the good "ole fashioned" turkey dinner.

Wedding bells will be ringing this Thanksgiving vacation. Winnie Sporer will become the bride of William Anderson the twentyninth of No~ember. On this same date, Carolyn Reiber and Wayne H. Hauptmeier will be married.

Carolyn and Winnie are b o t h student teaching this semester.

"Bull in the China Shop" was presented by the Peru High School on November 15. Members of the cast were: Linda Combs, Ann Adams, Jim Wilson, Pat Adams, Marilyn Moody, Jim Whisler, Jeannie Gnade, LaVonne Stephens, and Christie Ubben.

"Bull In AChina Shop" Was Entertaining Show

BY LONN PRES~NALL Peru Campus High School presented "Bull in a China Shop" Friday night, November 15. A good-sized crowd turned out to see the mystery-comedy.

The play was about six sweet old maids who were ,crazy about policeman Dennis O'Finn. Be-cause O'Finn worked homicide, the only step was for one of the old ladies to. drag out the arsenic. The audience and O'Finn had to find out which one was the murderess. Not only did five old ladies make over him, but a lady reporter, ravishing Jane Rogers, harassed him at 909 Sycamore Street.

Solving a murder case and remaining a "confirmed bachelor" took all of O'Finn's patience and Irish temper. As he stormed among the ladies, the audience realized he was the "Bull" in a "China Shop."

In the third act with sidekick Kramer's help, O'Finn solved the case, but not until another spinster absorbed arsenic. Even after her capture, Bildegard struck once again-she evened the score with Jane Rogers with a box of poisoned candy. O'Finn switched over to arson investigations, but the play ·ended with him checking on a fire at, yes, 909 Sycamore Street.

The cast was as follows: Jim Whisler as Dennis O'Finn; Pat Adams as Miss Hildegard; Ann Adams as Miss Birdie; Jeannie Gnade as Miss Amantha; Linda Combs as Miss Lucy; Christie Ubben as Miss Nettie; Marilyn Moody as Miss Elizabeth; Jim Wilson as Kramer; Bob Milstead and Bob Craig as stretcher bearers; Vonnie Stephens as Jane Rogers; and Kent Van Zant as Johnson.

The entire cast did an excellent job. There were many favorable comments on the "fine play." Seniors Jeannie Gnade and Linda Combs performed very well; and much credit must be given to the younger members of the cast, especially sopho-

They found (among other things) that the opportunities in this field were very broad and that upon passing a civil service examination, an instructor would obtain a high government employment rating of G.S.6. Salaries of this field range between 5600-11000 dollars a year. Preparations were then made in earnest to gef approval from the M.A.T.C. in Washington.

Keysort Card System Efficient And Fast The Registrar's office of Peru State College (1963) has adopted the use of the Keysort Card System. This new system has taken some of the horrors out of registration for those workers who are involved with the massive operation.

Class cards and registration pads with four copies are in use now, and the system can be adapted to other clerical work should it be needed in the future.

The Keysort sy~tem is more efficient and faster than the old card system. The perimeter of the cards is perforated so that a slim rod can be passed through a group of cards at many different points. Designated information, marked on the perimeter of the cards, is notched out in regard to the particular individual.

THE OPPORTUNITY IS THERE Achievement of higher education is reaching for a flower in the middle of a pond. If the flower has the beauty to make you swim in spite of the cold and wet, then you shall have the flower.

There are ample opportunities for higher education for all capable American students who desire to attain it.

College expenses can be paid from part to whole by the student with power to earn. Scholarships, loans, and philanthropy are offered to students showing promise, academically and athletically, and students in need of financial support.

Many students are discontinuing their education in answer to demands of social pressure-for the financial independence of a salary and the pride of owning a car. In contrast, the successful student is not enticed along this soft and temporary route. He will overcome obstacles in the path t-0 a college degree.

The workable wealth of our country and the potential ability of its citizenry are lightly tapped. We are highly paid for easy work, and we fail to do what can be done with effort.

IDGHWAY ACCIDENTS COSTLY

Injuries and financial loss are two aspects of automobile accidents often overlooked. The death-figures make the headlines, but the real sufferers are not well known.

In 1961, the nation was shocked at the fact that 38,000 persons were killed in motor vehicles. But the same year 1,400,000 people were injured, 120,00 of these injuries were permanent total disabilities. Also in 1961 (and it has increased every year) $4,600,000,000 were lost in wages, medical expenses, and overhead cost of insurance because of motor vehicle accidents.

The saying goes that "cm;iosity kills the cat," but in Karen Kosek's case, it killed the squeak in her dog. After performing surgery to find out what made the dog squeak, she sewed it back up. Now, the dog squeaks no longer, but Karen found out why the dog squeaked.

Thanksgiving vacation proved to be very profitable for two girls in Morgan Hall. Linda Elliott of Omaha became engaged to Mike Jacobsen of Adair, Iowa. Also Judith Wolfe of Humboldt, Nebraska,, became engaged to Paul Pease of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Best wishes. .

The chute is open! Freshman Bobcat Jim O'Donoghue leads l:he ascending harrier start at 40 yards out in a narrow 26-2S loss to Doane. Frank Graham partially hidden by Doane's Jim Gallegos, "checked out" later for individual 2.5 miles in 13:33, that inaugurated the home course. Bobcat Louie Fritz, at the left, finished fourl:h.

Peru avenged this season's opener with a runner-up position in the conference. The Tigers were fourth.

Peru's Cross Country Tearn Second In First Year Of Competition

BY STAN JOHNSON This fall the Bobcat athletic department joined the rest of the NOC in forming a cross-country team. A sport in which low score wins, cross-country was run in the NCC on courses of four miles in length. Peru State disregarded their lack of familia_rity with the sport of distance running, and racked up several fine performances including their second place showing in the conference meet at the end of the season.

Coach Pilkington's harriers opened the season with a 26-29 defeat at the hands of Doane.

The Bobcats took three of the first five places, but Doane finished all five of their men before Peru could fill the gap between their third and fourth slots. Bobcat Frank Graham won first place in the meet with a time of 13:33 over the 2.5 mile course.

Peru State notched s e c o n d place in a triangular cross-country meet held on Wayne's three .Jllij.Q,,,.,co;Urse_.. Nebraska Wesleyan took feam honors with 37 points, Peru trailed~ with 40, and Wayne followed by· scoring 43. Bobcat Graham copped the second best time in a 16:58 clocking behind the winner's time of 16:32. Louis Fritz and Jim O'Donoghue placed fifth and eighth respectively.

The Peru Bobcats provided the winning runner, but d e e p e r strength gave William Jewell a victory in a triangular c r o s s country meet at Tarkio. William Jewell scored 25 points, Peru 31, and host Tarkio trailed with 85 points. O'Donoghue clocked the 2.8 mile course in 14:05 to take first place. Peru harriers picked up fourth, sixth, and ninth places in Graham, Fritz, and MacNeil.

Frank Graham paced the Peru cross country team to an overwhelming 18-40 thrashing of Northwest Missouri in a dual meet on Peru's course. Graham, a freshman harrier, paced th e distance in 16:55 as the Bobcats placed five runners in the first six positions.

Five Peru State harriers nabbed the first five places, October 29, as the Bobcats copped a 15-48 victory over Tarkio College. The meet was run over Peru's three mile and 50 yard course. Freshman O'Donoghue broke the tape in 16:41 to lead his Peru mates to the win.

The Bobcat distance-runners captured second .place in th e NCC meet at Wayne, Nov. 2. The Antelopes of Kearney loped to a crushing .victory in the five team meet 1111). ov~r a four~mile course.

Kearney tallied only 18 points, picking up the. first three places, while Peru notched second with a team total of 64 points. Louis Fritz took sixth place in 22:41, _Grahq.m, eighth place, and O'Donoghue, ninth.

The lettermen for Peru's newly-formed cross country team were: juniors-Louis Fritz and Paul MacNeil; sophomores-Jack Rinne and Bil! Russell; freshmen-Frank Graham, Jim O'Donoghue, and Bill Rinne.

Third Tournament Added To 1963-64 Basketball Schedule Peru State Director of Athletics, Al Wheeler, has announced the addition of a third tournament to the 1963-64 basketball schedule. The Bobcats will compete in the Graceland College Invitational Tournament at Independence, Missouri, on January 2-3. Other colleges in the tournament are Kansas Wesleyan of Salina, Kansas; National College of Kansas Wesleyan of Salina, Kansas; National College of Kansas City, Missouri; and Graceland College of Lamoni, Iowa.

It was a close game most of the way with the Bobcats leading at every quarter with scores of 1615, 36-33, and 60-50. Both youthful teams failed to score dtiring the first minute of play.

The Bobcat gun, Wendell Wi)<sell, began the home scoreboard showing with five buckets in the first quarter; three of them were scored during a spread of eighty seconds. "Wick" tallied 16 points by the half, and crowded t h e scorebook with 25 for high game honors.

Peru controlled the boards for enough rebounds to gain a fourteen point advantage midway in the third quarter.

Moundbuilder John Dubrow, scoring a loser's high of 18, g o t hot with 12 in the second half.

Dubrow's shooting eye coupled with Bobcat backcourt errors in ball-handling turned the game into a' thriller toward the end of the fourth quarter.

Harriers Compete In 0 U Meet

'Cats Spank Alumni KEN'S

BY KEN OLSON

KORNER By Ken Olson Important to athletics is scholarship. The team must have it or lose, and the athlete must have it to win. Low grades cause grave concern in college gyms. There are 20 class days until final exams. Many athletic fingers are pushing the buttons of panic.

Early season competition with teams like Prairie View won't do much for the Bobcat won-loss record, but the resultant Bobcat seasoning will make it tougher for foes in the NCC. P er u dropped their first game on the road to Prairie View College at Nashville, Tennessee, 89-61 on December 2.

'The Bobcat 1962-63 conference record of 7-3 was good enough to share the NCC title even though opponents outscored the Bobcats by an average of 73.2 to 72.3 per game.

Last year the Bobcats shot 41 per cent from the field, 65 per cent from the free throw line, and pulled down an average of 42 rebounds per game.

The Bobcats are not alone in their quest for competition that is tougher than the NCC. Wayne State, with whom the Bobcats shared the 1962-63 conference crown, has moved into Minnesota during the past week''io~ encounters with Hamline and St. Thomas.

The Peru State Varsity made it 14 out of 15 in the VarsityAlumni basketball series with a 94-80 victory at the home gym on November 25.

The season's opener began as a battle of butterfingers as the Alumni's Mike Roach ballhawked his old-time mates to a 6-0 lead.

Fire in the old-timers died when the Varsity loaded the home gun, Wendell Wiksell.

"Wick" ripped the nets with 29 points at high percentage. He "came through" with 20 in the first half. After intermission he was needed less and saw 1e s s action.

The Varsity was aided with seasoned stability in Jack Rinne, who led a starting five containing three transfer students to a 22-22 first quarter tie. The Varsity closed the half with a 44-40 lead. Both teams scored 37 from the free throw line.

High game scoring went to 6'8" Alumni center, Bob Buettgenbach, with 30 points. He pushed through 21 in the second half as the Alumni found a weakness at the Bobcat post.

The old-timers' lack in depth and condition began to tell on the scoreboard at 60-48 with 14 minutes remaining. They became less of a threat as the game progressed.

In the 15 year Varsity-Alumni series the Varsity has garnered 1047 points for an all-time average score of 70-57 over the Alumni. In defeat, the Alumni have come within ten points of the Varsity only three times.

The current 94-80 is the highest single game total for the Varsity, se<:ond highest for the Alumni, and the highest com):Jip.ed sc.ore.. in.. the ..series. The· lowest scoring game was a 41-27 Varsity victory in 1937, the first year of the series. This annual contest was not held from 194153.

Dr. John Christ, head of the Division of Science and Mathematics, supervises a biology laboratory.

Science and ·Math Division Enjoying Considerable Growth

BY FRANCES SANDERS The Division of Science and Mathematics offers over eighty different courses. These are in the general areas of biology, botany, chemistry, earth science, general science, mathematics, physical science, physics ii.nd zoology.

Dr. John C. Christ is head of the Division of Science and Mathematics. He has been at Peru State since 1946. His special interest is in plant biology. His undergraduate work was done at North Central College in Illinois.

He received his M.S. degree at Northwestern University. Dr. Christ worked toward his doctorate degree at Columbia, Oregon State and Minnesota universities, and Bari University in Italy. He was granted his Ph.D. in 1961 by the University of Bari.

In 1947, bec.ause of increased enrollments in biology,. Mr. Albert 0. Brady was. added to the one-man biology department. His training is mostly in zoology. He received his M.A. degree at the University of South Dakota. Recently he has studied marine biology at the University of Oregon.

Mr. Hanford H. Miller has taught chemistry courses at Peru State since 1947. He came to Peru from Colorado. Both his B.A. and M.A. degrees were granted by the Colorado State College at Gveeley. He has done graduate work at Utah State University.

Mr. Miller has also had experience as an industrial chemist with the Carnation. Milk company.

The only full time mathematician at the college is Mr. Lyle C. McKercher. He has been at Peru since the fall of 1959. He obtained his B.A. from Morningside College in Iowa, and his M.A.

from the University of Iowa.

During the summer of 1962, he studied at the University of Georgia under a National Science Foundation Grant. He was on a leave of absence during the 1962-1963 academic year for graduate work at the University of Nebraska.

Physics courses are taught by Mr. William S. Rankin. He also teaches several math courses. He came to Peru State in 1961 as science supervisor in the T. J. Majors Campus School. He is a graduate of Tarkio College and holds an M.N.S. degree from Arizona State College at Tempe.

Although Mr. James Jack is listed in the Division of History and Social Science, he teaches several earth science and. geography courses which allow credit in the science division. He received his B.S. degree from Southern Oregon College at Ash~ land. His M.S. degree was earned at Oregon St ate University, where he took many science courses in a very broad program.

Mr. Jack has also done graduate work at the University of Nebraska. · Most students at some time have to take some classes in this division. Enrollment in these subjects has increased considerably in recent years because there has been a greater emphasis placed on science. This is especially true of the physical sciences and mathematics.

At the present time there are no definite plans for the future.

It is hoped that within a few years a new building can be constructed., New equipment is being added all the time, but only in small amounts because of its high cost. An additional staff member in math is also being considered.

"Music, music, music ..." So the song goes and so is the way the activities have been going around the campus school the past weeks.

Pat Adams and James Wilson attended the All-State Band held in Kearney. We were very happy they were chosen to go especially since Peru was one of the f~w towns represented in this area~ They both reported that the clinic was a very profitable and enjoyable experience.

Saturday, December 7, a choral clinic was held in Peru. The campus school chorus attended as well as many other choruses in the area. Mr. Camealy reported the attendance was in the four hundreds.

Sports are also coming back into the limelight with Peru Prep's first basketball game of the season Friday, December 6.

The team will face Nehawka in the beginning of the season.

The volleyball team defeated Johnson in a scrimmage Decem~ ber 3. They will also officially open their season against Nehawka Friday evening.

The Junior class rings arrived Tuesday after many weeks of anxious waiting.

He Is Gone Silent Yes, silent his body lay.

It was John Fitzgerald Kennedy who died on that fateful November' day.

TIAA And CREF Retirement Plans Under Consideration

BY GARY CARVILLE Peru State now is considering a retirement system similar to that of the University of Nebraska. Dr. Freeman Decker, secretary of the State College Board, recently explained the TIAA plan adopted by the board after receiving authority to do so from the legislature .

TIAA is a non-profit, legal reserve life insurance and annuity company incorporated in the state of New York. The retirement plan it offers is a pooling of money in a common fund by many people (150,000 to date) which guarantees yearly retirement income until death. There are also options of income f o r dependents which might be chosen rather than payment ending at death.

When the plan is enacted, 6% of the policy holders' wages will be deducted from his salary and entered into the fund. The state will match up to 6% of a person's salary. Extra money can be paid into the fund to increase one's retirement benefits. Any payments to the fund by the policy holder, or the state, will not be forfeited by any change of employment.

cmusTMAS IS GlVlNG

By Ray Ogle Christmas! The word means many things to many people. To the younger set it is Santa Claus and gifts. For many it means crowded stores and huge dinner preparations. To some it has little meaning for they are unable to take part in its joys and traditions for various reasons.

' From the very beginning Christmas has been associated with giving. The Wise Men and Shepherds gave to that infant who brought the word into existence. It is one of the wonderful gifts of life that we are able to give to others.

Those who do not realize and appreciate the satisfaction of giving to others are shorting themselves. The smile of the child who has just received a present, the look of appreciation on the face of someone you have helped, and participation in festive group activities-all give one a sense of accomplishment and usefulness.

Let us realize that Christmas is not just a time for parties, Christmas trees, and a season of gaiety. It· is another opportunity to give in many ways to our fellow man. If one reflects on the times he has smiled at someone who is downhearted, spent time to help someone who is in trouble, and the times he has joined with others for the betterment of all, there is little cause for regret. Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It can. be made more wonderful by the giving of ourselves.

MAJORS

HALL By Ed Stillinger

The Christmas spirit has ibeen aroused in Majors. The dorm boasts three beautifully trimmed trees and numerous co 1 ore d lights.

Jack Rinne and Don Schmidt are back after touring in the South with the basketball team.

Papers! Papers! Papers! This is what Gary Butera saw when he walked into his room. Someone had completely filled h i s room with crumpled newspapers.

Gary and his buddies kicked the · newspapers down the hall and out the west entrance into the parking lot. Under supervision of second floor counselor Ed Meyer, the paper was bilrned in the parking lot. It appeared that Dan Leuenberger's car might also go up in flames.

Dick Elmore is in his third year at making punch for the dorm party. The party is scheduled for this week. It will be held in the solarium and Mrs. Donovan's punch bowl will be used.

Dick Daigle and Ray Jenny have left for their homes in the East for Christmas vacation.

The guys of Majors have written a letter to Santa: Don Schmidt wants some more

plastic bubble-bath containers to match the one's he has. Ron Peterson wants a new sign for his closet door. Joe Ward wants to replace his roommate with K.A.M. Ed Meyer wants a new DeKalb sign to replace his old one. Bill Scott wants more integrated geometry problems to keep him busy. Rodney Baade needs a sand box. Gary Stover wants a set of blocks for the room. Ken Sims needs an ashtray. Gordy Jackson would like another giant-size chocolate bar.

Jack Rinne and Timothy Gilligan want some new paint chips to replace the old ones put up by Bruce Francey two years ago.

"I'm dreaming of a White Christmas just like the one I use to know" echoes throughout the dorm as Christmas draws near.

The girls really have put a lot of effort into the decorations of their room. A big Santa Claus stands on third floor down at the end of the hall. Everyone interested in entering the contest of the best decorated rooms is putting forth a lot of time and work.

DELZELL HALL

CHRISTMAS IS REMEMBERING

By Lonn Pressnall Christmas is anticipation ... listening for a certain carol, looking; for snow, trying to sleep on a special "Night Before."

Christmas is a sound ... the sound of children laughing, the ringing and tinkling silver bells, the soft sound of a carol.

Christmas is decoration ... the bulb, tinsel, paper, holly, evergreen, poinsettia.

Christmas is Jesus ... a trip to church, a poem, a story, a birthday, a scripture from Saint Luke. ' Christmas is a spirit ... Santa Claus, a love, a thought.

Christmas is remembering.

By Wendell Wiksell

The halls are filled w i t h "hustle" and "bustle" as all of the residents are preparing to leave for the Christmas holidays.

The dormitory will be dosed and most of the students are going to spend Christmas with their families. Mrs. Paradise, our housemother, plans to spend two weeks in Lancaster, Missouri.

This was her home before she came to Peru.

The five members of the basketball team living in Delzell Hall are just about caught up with their studies and rest. They are Charles Richards, Dean Cain, Rob Brown, Frank Empkey, and Mike Harmon. They returned last week after spending a week playing games in Nashville, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia.

The annual Delzell Hall holiday supper was held Sunday, December 8, in the television room. The supper consisted of hot dogs, potato chips, cookies, and hot chocolate. The supper was prepared by Mrs. Paradise and served by the dormitory officers, Rudy Eichenberger, Tom Buchholz, and Doug Cotner.

Michael Chu is planning one of the longer trips to be made over the holidays. He is going to San Francisco, California, to visit friends and relatives.

'This two-week break gives all of the students a chance to catch up on their school work and relax. Do not forget the Christmas spirit and be careful while driving on the highways.

Bobcats Lose Three On Southern Trip

BY WENDELL WIKSELL The Peru State basketball team went to Nashville, Tennes· see, December 2, to play Prairie View College of Texas. The team rode in the fifteen . passenger "stagecoach" and spent the night in Mount Vernon, Illinois. The traveling squad consisted of Mike Harmon, Dean C a in, Charles Richards·; "·Rob Brown, Bill Witty, Wendell Wiksell, Donald Schmidt, Bill Hunsaker, Jack Rinne, and Frank Empkey.

Al Wheeler, athletic director and Bob Henry, Peru State publicist, accompanied the team.

In the game with Prairie View the Bobcats found themselves badly outclassed in almost every department. Prairie View to o k the lead early in the game and was never headed. On the bright side, however, was the surprising play of freshman Frank Empkey who .rebounded well and scored 20 points. Coach Mcintire substituted quite , freely during the game in an all out effort to come up with a workable unit, but the Tigers from Prairie View were simply too tough for the inexNancy Reed goes into shoulder stand under the able support of perienced Bobcats of Peru. lie Pratt as spot:ters Niemeyer, Kantor, and La Rocca look on.

After the game, the 'Cats spent the night at Tennessee A & I and remained there Tuesday to practice in their gymnasium before leaving for Atlanta, Georgia, to compete in a tournament.

The team stayed at Clark College in Atlanta and p 1aye d Prairie View the first game of the tournament. The score was much like the first time the two teams met as Peru came out on the short end of a 103 to 71 game.

Charles Richards of Peru performed well in this game as he capped scoring honors with a 25 point output.

The next night Peru played Fisk. University of Nashville in the losers; bracket. The game was close all of the way, but the boys from Peru could not pull it out. Peru lost the best game they had played on the trip, 107 to 95.

Peru looked a lot better in this game and the play against top competition was beginning to show its value. The team left for AUBURN.NEBRASKA home directly ·after the game and drove straight through to Peru. The boys were tired, a bit dejected over their performances, but improved and full of hope for the rest of the season.

Fine Arts-Administration Building

BY LONN PRESSNALL

According to President Neal S. Gamon, the formal obstacles have been hurdled and the path is clear for a one million dollar campus development program at Peru State College. The next step is the call for bids by early April from construction companies. The actual construction should begin by May 1964.

The largest improvement will be a 27-thousand-square-foot fine arts-administration building. The expansion will also include additions to the Student Center and Majors Hall, a men's dormitory.

Construction of the three projects is slated to be finished by the fall of 1965. The projects are designed by Clark and Enersen, Olsson, Burroughs and Thomsen of Lincoln.

The fine arts-administration building will be built of brick and pre-cast concrete fascia. It will include a 2-story central exhibition hall, separating the fine arts and the administration sections. The building also features practice rooms, studios, a recital >tage and arena seating, and housing for the administrative The building will be air conditioned. forthcoming construction necessitate tearing down the present music hall. Plans are now hopper to handle the classother functions that now occupy

The architect's drawing by Clark and Enersen fells part of the story of Peru State's new $500,000 Fine Arts - Administration Building, on which work will begin in 1964. The building should be completed by the opening of school in 1965. The fine arts area will be two stories and l:he administrative complex will be three. The fine arts area will include a band room, choral room, six instructional studios, a recital hall, rest rooms, and foyer for art displays, also classrooms, and storage rooms. The administrative complex will have offices of registrar, business manager, placemen±, post office, and special services. Also, offices of president, dean of college, dean of students, and conference rooms and testing and counseling rooms. The building will be completely air conditioned.

A modern extension will be added on the west end of Majors Hall. The new wing will house 120 men. It will offer a large lobby between the addition and the existing hall. The extension wilL room.~. recreatioo ··

In '64 Band Concert Was Event Of January 12 On Sunday, January 12, the Peru State College Concert Band Ensemble presented their Winter Concert. The ensemble is under the direction of Gilbert Wilson.

Near blizzard conditions greatly cut the size of the audience.

The program was as follows: "Second Symphony for Band"

by Frank Erickson. 1. Intrada.

2. Intermezzo. 3. Finale.

Frank Erickson is known as one of America's most popular contemporary composers for the concert band. There have b e e n very few symphonies composed for the concert band, but Mr. Erickson's two symphonies have been received with great enthusiasm.

"El Cid," march by Miklos Rosza was the next number.

Mr. Rosza is the composer of background music for such movies as "Ben Hur," "Quo Vadis," and the m~t recent picture "El Cid." "Concertina" by John J. Morrissey followed.

In this selection the composer conveys the spirit of the classical concertina through the medium of the band.

"Trumpets Wild" by Harold Walters was next.

This composition for trumpet trio is based on melodies of Robert Schumann. The trio was composed of Tom Majors, Karen Workman, and Dale Duensing.

"Jamaican Rhumba" by Arthur Bcnjan1in followed.

Arthur Benjamin has been a leader of composition of all forms among the contemporary British composers. This selection is always a fa\·orite program number. "~orad Defenders March" by Albert Davis concluded the program.

This is really a "major" addition to Majors Hall because the addition will provide more space than the original building.

In 1960, four buildMORGAN ings were completed: Majors Hall, the Student Center, the HALL Practical Arts Building, and an addition to Morgan Hall. The By cost of these was approximately $1,500,000. Last year, Eleanor $150,000 was spent remodeling the library. So the total for Frandsen new and recent construction will be something like $2,650,000.

-S. P. L. Jack Dunn, Betty Koester an d THANK YOU, PEP BAND

Each year the music department puts forth a degree of effort to supply Peru State with a pep band. This is done by careful division of the band ensemble into two separate units, for the large band would be impractical for pep band purposes. This requires a great deal of planning and organization on the part of the director, Mr. Gilbert E. Wilson.

Every member of the band is required to be in attendance and play his or her share of the games. This saddles the individual musician with a certain amount of responsibility that has to be performed.

The people of the music department are more than well aware of their pep band, but how many others are aware that such a thing even exists?

Being quite sure that the amount .of appreciation and tribute shown this organization is of a lesser degree, I offer, on behalf of the staff of the Pedagogian, a most sincere thanks for the fine cooperation and the loyal attendance offered by Mr. Wilson and company.

BRAWN AND BRAINS The image of the dumb college football player is changing. Today's modern schedules and tightening ·of athletic conference rules on eligibility of athletes make the football player spend as much time with the books as he does on the practice field. Scholarships are so competitive that coaches won't take a chance on a boy who shows no promise in the classroom.

Bob Brown, 269-polind All-American guard at the University of Nebraska, is a prime example of this modern trend.

Bob carries a six plus average, and as one Professor put it, "We've not only got an All-American, but a fine biology teacher as well." Roger Staubach, Heisman trophy winner, finds time to participate in two varsity sports, plus maintaining a high average in the rugged curriculum of the Naval Academy. Woody Hayes, successful coach of Ohio State in the rugged Big 10, won't offer a prospective athlete a scholarship unless he graduates in the upper one-third of his graduating class. It might be pointed out that Woody has lost only two players in the last four years to scholastic ineligibility. Our own Bill Witty letters in three sports, yet his name is found on the Dean's Honor Roll.

The day of the Saturday hero and the classroom jackass is gone forever.

-Bill Bliss.

THE IMPORTANCE OF COUNSELING When registratiun day arrives at Peru State on January 27, there will be many upperclassmen as well as freshmen who will be uncertain of their major courses of study.

It is quite common for a student to change his field of concentration after attending college for a year or two. He is introduced to other interests by a rounded course of study that is required for his college degree. It is in the early stages of credit accumulation that counseling is of vital importance. It is necessary to have a secure foundation of study behind you, as well as a planned and balanced course of study ahead of you, to make your studies more fruitful and easier to achieve.

The best way to insure your college education is to see your counselor. He'll be looking for you on registration day.

DELZELL HALL By Wendell Wiksell The major concern at Delzell Hall is the approaching final examinations. Many of the boys living only a few miles from Peru plan to stay at the college and prepare for the exams. The . idea of having the semester exams has quieted the dormitory considerably. The boys that are behind are trying frantically to catch up, and the good students are studying intently to keep their h i g h averages.

Cigarets could be had for the asking last week as a lot of the boys made vows to stop smoking.

This was the result of the report made by the United States Public Health Committee on smoking and health. These vows, if nothing else, should prove to the individual just how strong his will power is. For those who have not smoked since they made the vow, more power to them.

The general feeling about the first semester seems to be one of satisfaction. For most, it was a good semester and a valuable one, but before we look ahead to next semester, we had better finish this one. The final examinations offer an opportunity to climax a good semester if you are prepared, but they also c o u 1 d prove to be a downfall if you are not prepared. Good Luck an d Study Hard!

The residents of the dormitory would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Paradise, our housemother, for her he 1 p throughout the semester.

The 18th annual Invitational High School Girls Volleyball Tournament at Peru State College is scheduled for March 1618, according to Frances Wheel· er, director of women's ·physical education at Peru State.

The three volleyball r u I es changes announced by the Am· erican Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation will be followed in the tournament, Mrs. Wheeler noted. The changes include the substitution rule, length of game, and the lowering of the net from 7 feet 6 inches to 7 feet 4% inches.

Last year's tourney was won

by Virginia High School victors over Millard High School in the championship tilt. Virginia defeated Dawson-Verdon, defending champs, in the semi-finals and Millard reached the finals by defeating Avoca. Dawson-Verdon won the ~onsolation.

KEN'S KORNER By Ken Olson

The trueness of sportsmanship is as well timed as the true athlete. If the cheer of the fan is heard when the opponent ha s missed a try, suffered an injury or committed a foul, then the cheer has been awkward and out of time. I knew a man who cheered softly when his team had won an upset. This man was a true sportsman. He was also a great athlete.

The conference basketball season has begun this year where it ieft off last year, with Peru and Wayne on top. The Kearney An· appear blinded by the of their football team as th.ey stand in the dark with an 0-2 conference beginning.

January 13 marked the opening of the n~Y,,born and unbeaten indoor track program at Peru.

The midwinter steppers are shooting for initial victory on the new strip at Maryville, Missouri, on March 6, 1964.

*** A touch of Al Wheeler's precise athletic organization is reflected on the varsity 1 o ck e r room bulletin board. Coach "Al" has already posted information for the student-athlete on baseball. Two 8xll sheets are filled with knowledge on principles and procedure in baserunning.

There is also a 1964 . baseball schedule-including the NAIA play-offs.

Practice in the pit has begun for the diamonds' first forty-seven turnouts. Four of these men are still on the boards with McIntire.

*** There is no "I" in team.

••• The Bobcats have won the NCC Basketball title six times and shared it three times since the conference was formed in 1946. Since long before 1946, the Bobcats have been domineering the teams which form the NCC; this is shown through the alltime standings below: Peru Peru Peru Peru Peru

Peru Prep Downed 75-58 The Peru Prep basketball team was defeated January 10 by Dawson-Verdon 75 to 58. The game was thrilling and much closer than the score indicates .

There was only a six-point difference with 2:42 remaining in the game.

Prep started out fast and ran up a 16 to 8 first quarter lead.

The lead melted, however, as Dawson-Verdon warmed up and at the half the Bobkittens were down 25 to 22. The third quarter score was 47 to 40.

Dawson-Verdon had trailed until a 22-22 deadlock just before the half. The home team never trailed again but the spread was seldom more than four until late in the third when the Bobkittens finally started to give some ground. The high scorer for Prep was John Mcintire with 21 points. Mike Tynon was next in scoring for Peru with 14.

Language Arts Division Has Broad Field

BY LONN PRESSNALL

the English and speech departments emphasize effective communication.

Fol'eign language is not required of all students, although many fields necessitate taking some language courses. The study of a language gives a student an interest in people that live in other countries.

Besides a variety of English, speech and language <:ourses offered, the division is responsible for many extra curricular adivities. The Pedagogian, the Peruvian, drama, debate, Sif:ting Sands and the variety show are all part of this division.

The Language Arts division, like all of the divisions, has plans it would like to see materialize.

A plan already realized is the language laboratory. It is a great asset to the language students, as fine electronic equipment is made available.

English, speech, and languages are very good fields. Jobs in these fields are plentiful, espedally in teaching English.

All students at some time come in contact with the Division of Language Arts because . <:ertain courses from this division are required of all students.

The head of the division is Robert D. Moore. Mr. Moore has served on the staff sin<:e 1937. He received his A.B. from East Central State Teachers College at Ada, Oklahoma, and his M.Ph. from the University of Wisconsin.

He has done considerable graduate work at the State University of Iowa and at Colorado State College of Education, Greeley.

Mr. Moore is professor of English and speech, and sponsor of the Dramatics Club. He also directs the major college dramatics productions and has directed some 54 full evening performances.

Mr. Jam.es Levitt, associate professor of English and speech, came to Peru in 1948. Mr. Levitt is a very busy man. He teaches speech classes, is the freshman class sponsor, photographer and handles the entire debate program. He is known on campus Band Concert Was for his "stone face" and "tongue Event Of January 12 in cheek" humor.

All of the written tests are standardized by the Federal Com- · munications Commission. To take the tests for the General Class license, one must go to an FCC office and take it under the supervision of an FCC representative.

The group taking the course and other "hams" from the cam~ · pus and the. campus high ..school have formed a club which pro~ motes amateur radio and electronics on the campus.

Kiwanis Club· Works To Get Street Signs The Peru Kiwanis Club has undertaken a campaign to raise funds in order that street signs be erected and homes be numbered in Peru. The Kiwanis Club feels that success of this campaign will mean an important step forward in community pride, cooperation, and improvement.

The Highway Equipment and Supply Company of Lincoln has donated the first sign which will be located at 5th and Main street, the corner by the post office. The Kiwanis Club Boa11d of Directors voted to allocate $150 to be used to purchase street signs. A few Kiwanians have also purchased signs for their respective corners.

The total cost of this project is estimated at $600. Contributions may be sent to Peru Street Signs, Kiwanis .Club, Peru, Nebraska.

pmsentstudents. And to e\~one he is a friend.

Most students will · recognize Mr. Landolt as the 87-year-old gentleman who is the substitute stocker, checker, and meat cutter at the Avenue Store. He has kept up with the times through contact with high school and college students in the store and by sharing his home with college boys.

Mr. Landolt is a native of Zurich Canton, Switzerland. Upon coming to the United States with his mother, brothers, and sisters, he settled near Barada in Richardson county, where he worked on farms and as a painter. He bought into a partnership in a Shubert grocery after his marriage. Later he spent one year farming near Dil1er.

In 1913, he came to Peru allid bought into partnership in the "Hill" or "Avenue" store. He op,erated the store until 1946.

Recently, Mr. Landolt was presented the Peru Kiwanis club's highest award. He was named "Man of the Year." The citation was given in recognition of "his constant, dependable, and continued service to his community."

Mr. Landolt, a charter member of the club in 1928, has had a perfect attendance record for 18 years.

Mr. Landolt is the father of three living children: E. Fred, an auditor in the War Department in Washington, D. C.; Katharine Craig, who with her husband, L. H.. operate the Avenue Store; and Dr. Paul, assistant professor of physiology at the University of Nebraska. Mrs. Landolt and the eldest son, Milton, are deceased.

The Ped posed this question to Peru Staters: ''What is your personal reaction to the recent evidence on the hazards of cigarette smoking?" The following represent the typical and the unique replies.

"By the time I get old enough to be concerned, they'll have a cure for cancer."

"I'm switching to a pipe!"

"Anything is bad taken in ,excess."

"I knew it was dangerous all along, but I'd rather smoke and die contented."

"I'm glad I don't sell cigarettes."

"How come doctors s t i 11 smoke?"

"Smoking is worse than I figured, guess I'll try to quit."

"I'm going to start chewing."

One person interviewed compared the situation to what his doctor told him about drinking.

"He told me drinking would cut

down my years, but as I 1o o k around, 1' see more old drunks than doaors."

The statistics continue to compile and research goes on; however, the decision to smoke or not is still a personal one.

Human Growth Classes Visit Beatrice Home For Mentally Deficient The students from the four sections of Dr. Winlnger's human growth and development classes visited Nebraska's Home for the Mentally Deficient at Beatrice. The trip to Beatrice was taken on the seventh. a n d eighth of January.

Upon arriving at the home, the students were divided into two groups. During the morning, one group toured the various wards and the hospital, while the other group visited the schools, listened to lectures, saw films of different types of the mentally deficient. This procedure was reversed during the afternoons.

The trip was educational. The students involved saw what it was like to be around the mentally deficient, how they were taught, and learned some of the causes of the deficiencies.

Soprano Sings In Jan. 15 Convo Claudia Lindsey, soprano, was presented in concert at Peru State College convocation Wednesday, January 15. She has been described as maker of "a sound that is rich and full, beautifully shaded and especially strong."

Her opening numbers were "Hark the Echoing Air" by Purcell and "V' Adore Pupille" by Handel. The next selection of numbers included "Liiebesbotschaft" (Love's Message), "Du Bist Die Ruh" (You Are the Peace), "Geh_eimes" (Secret), and "Gretchen Am Spinnrade" (Marguerite at the Spinning-wheel) which are all by Schubert. Her dosing selections were "The Daisies," "Fade, Vision Bright," and "Oh What a Beautiful City."

Kenneth Manzer accompanied her at the· piano.

Miss Lindsey is a native New Yorker. She is the only child of a Baptist minister and a mother who is a nurse. She began her musical career after graduation from Brandeis University. Miss Lindsey pursued formal voice and repertory studies with Mme. Lili Wexberg and Prof. Otto Guth.

This is her first concert tour.

New York critics, however, would be the first to concede that it's only the beginning of a colorful career for Miss Lindsey.

Johnny Ray Gomez Featured At Blue Devils Dance The Blue Devils sponsored a dance after the Kearney game on J anu~ry 11, featuring Johnny Ray Gomez and the Uniques of · Omaha.

Johnny Ray has cut several records and currently has some that are doing quite well in the Omaha area. Mr. Floerchinger stated that there is a very good possibility that the Gomez combo will return to Peru in the near future.

Mr. and Mrs. Fotsch, Mr. and Mrs. Sheely, and Mr. and Mrs. Pilkington chaperoned the dance.

Their adult friends call them "Young men and women." .And "Future leaders of America."

God save America.

Peru State College has one of the lowest tuition and board and room rates in the United States. The tuition for one year is approximately $200. Board and room fees will average $578. Other fees would be $15. A student can attend Peru for approximately $800 per annum.

From a column by Bob Considine, we learn that the rate at Harvard is $~,368 a year; at the University of Hawaii, $1,104; at MIT, $2,550; at Princeton, $2,260; and at George Washington University, $1,536.

Some colleges which are com.parable to Peru are Tennessee State College at $665 per annum and at Barber-Scotia College, Concord~ N. C., the yearly bill is $534. Also there are many students who live at home, and if they go to Brooklyn College they can· get by with $100 a year.

HarmPll a n~ from WO!'.ld Jli~,r, lll., ttam;ferred to Peru State ~- id ~ er attending thr Alton, 路Illimis, branch of Southern Ill., a bra.ncll which did not offer basketball.

Eager to play college basketball, although all he could offer as experience was outdoor play on the Wood River municipal courts, Harmon reported for drills in November and has been considered a starter by Coach Jack Mcintire all year. Actually, an injury kept Harmon out of the opening tip-off twice.

The quiet, good looking novice stated that his only high school basketball experience was limited to his senior year, and then he failed to make the squad.

Harmon started slowly for Peru State, as expected, but in the last several weeks has come on strongly. In his first nine games, Harmon averaged slightly over nine points per contest. In the last seven games he has averaged 20.4 points per game, with his season high coming against Washburn University, January 14, when he netted 10 points.

Not only has his scoring power come alive, but he is becoming one of Peru's leading rebounders. On January 3 he \grabbed 28 caroms for a season 'team high, and is now the second leading rebounder on the team to go along with his second place in the team scoring derby.

Coach Jack Mcintire said recently, "Mike has done an outstanding job, particularly when you consider his experience. He

makes up for his lack of speed with tremendous timing," Mcintire concluded.

Asked to explain how he learned the game without playing prep ball, Harmon said he spent most of his spare time on the Wood River outdoor courts.

"That town is basketball crazyyou can get into a pickup game almost any time of day or night and I took advantage." ""-

Hastings Defeats Peru 80-70 Here Hastings College proved just as tough as expected as they copped an 80-70 victory from Peru State College, Saturday, January 25, at Peru. The win vaulted Hastings into undisputed leadership of the Nebraska College Conference, with a 3-0 record, a n d dropped Peru into second with their loss in three engagements.

Bennie Crawford and Eddie Lorentzen were the big thorns in Peru's side, hitting 28 and 20 points, respectively, in addition to controlling both boards. Lorentzen and Crawford held Peru's high scoring duo of Frank Empkey, Omaha, and Mike Harmon, Wood River, Ill., to point totals of 16 and nine, respectively.

Wendell Wiksell, Omaha junior, paced Peru with 18 points, most of them coming from siege gun range.

Hastings took the lead, following six ties and one lead change, when Lorentzen's hook sent the Broncos into a 29-27 advantage with 4:43 remaining in the first half. At the intermission it was Hastings 39 and Peru 35.

With eight minutes gone in the second half, Coach Lynn Farrell's Broncos had jumped into a 58-46 lead, an advantage Peru could not erase.

The Bobcats made one final charge in the waning minutes and advanced to 66-70 with 2:50 remaining before three successive Hastings fast breaks broke the back of the comeback attempt. Walt Hamlett hit one and Ron Priebe two to send Hastings ahead 76-66.

Peru Beats Doane On Home Maples Down by 10 points at halftime, Peru State College roared back in the second half to notch a 93-86 Nebraska College Conference victory over Doane College at Peru, Tuesday.

The victory broke a two game losing streak for the Mcintiremen and gave them a win they needed to stay, at least for a time, close on the heels of league leading Hastings College.

Jump shooting Wendell Wiksell kept Peru in the game during the first half as he netted 14 points. Despite these heroics, Doane College went off the floor at intermission, leading 51-41.

At the start of the second half, Coach Jack Mcintire inserted sophomore Dean Cain, Thurman, Iowa, into the Peru State lineup and the 6'1" guard responded to his first real chance of the year by contributing 12 points in the final half to spark Peru's winning surge.

Peru exploded in the first 5:09 of the second half to catch Doane at 55-all on Wiksell's jumper. The two teams traded the lead until Dick Estes, Wood River, Ill., potted a free throw to give the Bobcats a 76-75 edge, a lead they never relinquished, with 6:22 to go in the game.

The Bobcats sprinted to a 9381 advantage before a late Doane flurry narrowed the score to its final seven point difference.

In addition to Cain's second half showing were Jack Rinne's 13 points and Mike Harmon's 12 point second half flurry.

Seconding Wiksell's 24 point leadership was Harmon's 23 points for the Bobcats. Dennis Nelsen paced Doane with 19 counters.

Bobcats Win From Concordia

Tarkio Stops Peru 100-85

BY BOB PECK

A faltering Peru State quintet was overcome by a strong, wellbalanced Tarkio squad as the Owls broke a 64-all tie with ten minutes remaining in the second half, handing the visiting Bobcats their 11th setback in 19 outings. The Owls' 100-85 victory avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of Peru State in the consolation game of the Beatrice Holiday Tournament.

The Tarkio squad went ahead to stay with a free throw by sophomore guard Jim Maggiola with 10:47 remammg in the game. Field goals in the next 90 seconds sent the Missourians into a 71-64 lead:leaving the Bobcats in a hole, one which they couldn't shoot themselves out.

Charles Richards, Omaha, put Peru in the lead 23-22 after the home team had led the first eight minutes. The Bobcats retained their advantage until Thompson's field goal with 3:28 remaining in the first half gave Tarkio a 34-33 lead. At the half, Tarkio held a 39-37 lead.

Tarkio scorched the visiting team's net' by connecting on 34 of 75 attempts for a 45 per cent average. The Bobcats couldn't seem to find the range as they hit on 32-101 shots for a frigid 31 per cent field goal average.

Peru State was led by Frank Empkey, Omaha, who hit for 25 points, while the Tarkio quintet was paced by Joe Heffernan and Stanley Carr who connected for 24 and 23 points respectively.

Mike Harmon's 27 - point splurge powered Peru State College to a 74-61 decision over Concordia College at Seward, Tuesday, January 28. The game pitting Nebraska College Conference representative Peru against Tri-State Conference Concordia was ragged from start to finish as both clubs apparently looked ahead to infra-conference tussles.

Both teams connected for 27 field goals, but Peru capitalized on 20 of 33 free throw attempts to win at the line.

Concordia led throughout most of the first half, with a lead of five points being the big spread, before Peru's Charles· Richards, Omaha, hit a lay-in off a fast break to put Peru ahead to stay at 26-25 with 4:03 remaining in the first half.

A five-point production by Peru's Harmon of Wood River, Ill., gave the Bobcats a 31-27 lead at the rest period.

Harmon took up where he left off by canning five quick points after the intermission, and that together with Wendell Wiksell's field goal, powered Peru to a 3927 lead with 1:28 played.

Concordia fought back to trail by five mid-way in the half, before Peru again surged into a commanding lead.

Peru received weli balanced scoring with four players in double figures. In addition to Harmon's 27 points, Frank Empkey, Omaha, hit 14, Jack Rinne, Steinauer, 13, and Charles Richards, 10. Wayne Clements led Concordia with 21.

Peru State bounced back from a ten point half-time deficit to beat a determined crew of Doane College Tigers, 93-86, and break a .two-game losing streak. This was the 15th consecutive setback for the Tigers at the hands of the Bobcats, their last win coming during the 1956-57 season, 83-77.

Kearney Smacks Peru 93-72 Peru State College's hopes for another Nebraska College Conference basketball. crown Saturday were dealt a staggering blow when Kearney State smacked the Bobcats 93-72 at Kearney.

Kearney's first loop victory saddled Peru with her second loss against three wins and dropped the 'Cats into second place. Hastings' split with Chadron enabled them to remain in sole possession of the loop lead.

With Larry Martin and Bill Holliday leading the way, Coach Les Livingston's Antelopes broke into the lead to stay with 8:57 remaining in the first half and by intermission led 44-33.

Peru made one second half flurry that brought them to within 43-45 with 17:02 remaining.

Kearney, without a fielder for 3:31 of the second half, then moved to a commanding lead of 58-47 with 11 :45 left.

Coach Jack Mcintire's Peruvians stayed within reach until the four minute mark when Kearney capitalized on a Peru scoring drouth and defensive laxity. The Bobcats trailed 67-75 with 4:40 left, but managed only two fielders and a charity toss the rest of the way while Kearney was hitting for 18 points.

Mike Harmon paced the Peruvians with 28 points, while Martin and Holliday paced Kearney with 2.5 and 23 points, respectively.

The loss makes Peru's home stand against Chadron a "must" for Peru State if they are to keep their sagging championship hopes alive. Chadron, after a split with Hastings last weekend, is in the same position.

Chadron's loss to the Broncos was their third conference setback. Hastings· appears in good shape with the Friday night loss at Chadron as their only 1 o op blemish.

Deane's well-balanced scoring attack in the first half scorched the Peruvians' net by hitting on 20 of 47 attempts for a respectable 43 per cent field goal average. Peru could manage only 17 connections in 51 attempts for a sour 33 per cent. Both teams ended the evening by hitting 35 field goals, the difference coming to the line as the Bobcats went 23-29 while Doane went 16-22.

Wendell Wiksell and Mike Harmon paced Peru and ended the evening with 24 and 23 points respectively. Nelson and Kelley led Doane by hitting for 19 and 17 points.

The win left the Bobcats with a season record of nine wins and twelve losses and strengthened their hold on second place in the Nebraska College Conference with a record of 4-2.

Bobcats Tame Wildcats Intramural Program

BY BOB PECK Different This Year Playing at home on February 1, the Bobcats defeated a fired up Wayne five, 84-80. The win left the Peru State cagers second only to Hastings in the Nebraska College Conference. Peru's conference record now stands at 3-1.

The visiting Wayne State quintet was down at the half by · 11 points, the score standing at 4231. The game was nip and tuck the second half as the score was tied three times by Wayne. Mike Harmon then hit a field goal which sent the Bobcats into the lead to stay.

The Bobcats n eve r relinquished this lead although a furious attack was led by Wayne's hot shooting Dean DeBhur. Peru lost its season's leading scorer and rebounder Frank Empkey late in the game via the foul line.

Peru was paced by Mike Harmon with 27 points for game high. Dick Estes, Maurice Wade, and Jack Rinne helped snuff out the last ray of hope of winning for the Wildcats.

The Bobcats had a low shooting average of 35%; Wayne had a 37 percent average. Sixty fouls were called in this ·Contest as Wayne tried to wrestle second place in the, conference from the Bobcats.

Mr. Stemper has set up the int!'amural program this year in a different manner. The teams were chosen in the first few weeks of school. Once a player plays for a certain team, he cannot switch to another team. The teams compete in touch football, volleyball, basketball, softball, and track.

The teams' schedules are set up on a round-robin basis. The teams are scored upon their standings in the league. The first place team is given ten points and the second place team is given nine points and so on. At the end of the year, the team with the most points is considered t)J.e best all-around team.

Mr. Stemper said that the program is coming along fine and that he is pleased with the results so far.

Physical And Mental Fitness: Water Ballet AResponsibility Of All Citizens In ADemocracy In Late March

BY MR. JAMES PILKINGTON

In this day -0f automation, short working hours and world tension a citizen of a democracy might ask himself, "What are the responsibilities that go along,. with the freedoms afforded by living in a democracy?" Basically the answer would be to achieve, physically and mentally, so that he might live up to the goal· of life in a democracy-iotal fitness that enables the citizen to live ihe most and serve the best.

In an educational era loaded with crash physics programs, crash math programs, advanced testing and classifying schemes and a million and one other devices to speed up the "great mental chase" with Russia, we have failed to remember or recognize a vital factor which contributes to mental efficiency-this being a sound body.

One need not be a learned historian, nor a medical student to understand the need for a creative mind working in a presentable, strong and functional body.

Our late President John F. Kennedy supported this thought when he stated, "The strength of our democracy is not greater ·than the collective well-being of our people ... the vigor of our is no stronger than the vitality of the citizens .... the level of physical, mental, moral and spiritual fitness must be our constant concern."

Comenious wrote in 1650, "Intellectual progress is conditioned at every step by bodily vigor. To attain the best results, physical exercise must accompany and . condition mental training." From history we find the authority of the educational leader, Horace , Mann, when he wrote, "On the J~road and firm foundations of ~'health alone can the loftiest and

most enduring structures of the intellect be reared."

In this age-the cry for a physical renaissance-can pe heard in the urgent statements of the medical profession. Dr. Paul Dudley White, cardiologist to former President Eisenhower, recently made this plea to our citizenry:

It is a great waste for a . man or woman to be highly trained in a profession, art ... or government and at the same time to neglect positive health measures leading to useful and happy longevity. There is danger at the present time in the enthusiasm for the cramming of the brains of our young people with facts, scientific or otherwise, that there will be inadequate time for the establishment and perpetuation of physical fitness, which should never stop.

"Over the Rainbow" and "By the Sea'' are two of the themes being considered for Peru's first water ballet to be given in late March.

Kandi Froebe, who has been in two other water ballet shows, is teaching the fundamentals to the other members of the cast. The girls participating in t~_ show are Pat Knippelmier, Barb Lasko, Anne Epley, Marty Greenlee, Pam Lett, and Laura West. Joe Smith, Lowell Brown, and Ed Gaughey are to be the clowns and divers in the show.

The show will consist of a quartet, a trio, and a duet. There will be two other numbers in which all the girls will take part.

The last number will be the Grand March. The proceeds from the show will be given to the gymnastics team.

One of the highlights of the program was "Tympendium."

This number was written for solo tympani with band accompaniment. The soloist was Philip Parker.

Next on the program was "Polyphonic Suite." This suite consisted of three movements and was written in a chordal vein.

"Bolero for Band," a Latin number, followed. This selection was written by Glenn Osser, who is also one of the top composers in the country.

To wind up the performance, Mr. Wilson used "Carnival," a group of selections from the stage production by David Merrick also entitled "Carnival."

$15.3 Million In Building From Lincoln Star, Feb. 22, 1964

BY BETTY PERSON Star Staff Writer A six-year proposed building program carrying a $15.3 million price tag for Nebraska's four stale colleges was outlined Friday for the State Normal Board.

The proposed construction out of the colleges' share of the state's institutional building fund covers three biennial p e r i o d s from 1965 to 1971.

Board members emphasized the broad proposal was simply a tentative program, and that it did not mean all the projects w e re necessarily approved.

Presidents of the colleges also

were advised not to consider the list as a guarantee of construction, and not be established priorities for the projects at each institution at this early date.

Kearney Largest The breakdown of proposed funds among the four colleges was: Chadron, $3,401,300; Kearney, $5,226,060; Wayne, $3,860,000 and Peru, $2,910,000.

Major projects proposed for each state colleg~ were: Chadron: Science and administration bu i 1ding, $1,750,000; completion of Physical Education building, $400,000, and remodeling and renovation of present administration building, $350,000.

Recently, several faculty members have commented about the rudeness of the students at the January 15 convo presented by Miss Claudia Lindsey. For the most part these remarks have been condemning us for our actions, saying in effect, "You students were humiliatingly rude." That point can't be argued-we were rude. The thing that many faculty members have failed to see is that most of us were unintentional in our ~udeness.

Some of us were not .aware of the correct procedure at an event ofthis type. Because it was nearly time for convo to be over, we thought that Miss Lindsey was finished. Our impoliteness was. caused by ignorance. Therefore, we ask that the faculty, instead of condemning us, help us to become a little more aware of correct behavior at such events. The student body, perhaps, needs to ·"soak up some culture." If the faculty would aid us in this endeavor, it would do far more good than condemnation for unintentional rudeness. · -By Dorothy Bock ABSENTEE POLICY GOOD OR BAD?

Excused or unexcused? Which type of absence did you have? If it was excused, did you get your excuse from your instructor, the college nurse, or one of the deans?

Why is it necessary for the instructors to be so concerned about the absence of a student? If a college student isn't mature enough to know when to go to class, he won't be hurting anyone except himself. If he misses too many class lectures and gets a low grade as a result, it would be his own fault. When the student is through college, who's going to take care of him then? No one is going to be around all the time to tell him that he has to go a certain place at a certain time or get in at a certain. time. Let him learn to take care of himself now and accept responsibilities.

This semester each department has its own rules on absences. However, within each department the instructors will sometimes vary. If the college thinks it is necessary to have an absentee policy, why can't there be just one for all departments?

Here a student can spend an enjoyable afternoon participating in his favorite sport such as basketball, gymnastics, swimming, etc. It is a ELIZA pleasant way to break the monotony of a boring week-end as MORGAN well as developing a person's physical fitness.

HALL "Hats off!" to the organizers of the week-end recreation By: program. ·· Eleanor -By Judy Beran Frandsen THINGS SHOULD GET BETTER FOR TEACHERS

Statistics show that there is a bigger demand for teachers in the professional world than there is in almost any other area. According to the 1947 report from the National Educational Association, there were "200,000 teachers short of the minimum teaching force needed for elementary and secondary school enrollment." Still by 1961, 14 years later, the association reported that there was a shortage of 135,000 qualified teachers. At present, this shortage has barely dropped. Even more in demand than the elementary and secondary teachers are those who are qualified to teach in colleges and universities. It is estimated that by 1970, colleges and universities will be short 340,000 instructors.

This shortage is primarily due to the comparatively low salaries which the teachers are offered. Qualified teachers have, therefore, been steadily dropping out of this profession.

Now, because of the growing shortage, and thus growing demand, it is suggested by economists that within a few years the teaching profession should be quite highly paid.

At present, the chess 1 pingpong, and bridge tournaments are still being played. The tournaments will be brought to a dose within two weeks. A trophy will be presented for each event at a future date.

While most people cooperated, it was felt the events would have been more successful if competitors in the events had shown up promptly for the events.

Next year the tournaments will be set up with a definite schedule for each event.

ing his senior year, Maurice averaged 25 points per game and

was picked by the Omaha WorldHerald as an All-Inter-City and All-State basketball player. He went from South High to Luther Junior College and there he averaged nearly 27 points per game.

At South High School Maurice teamed with Charles Richards, who is also a current Bobcat.

When the six-foot two-and-ahalf inch basketball p 1a y e r played for Luther Junior College he helped lead the team to a tie for the crown with McCook Junior College .

Maurice is married to the former Clydy Cooper and has two children. With his potential it is almost a sure thing to s a y that next year we will see a lot of basketball action out of him.

Baroque Style Of Music ORGANIZATIONS In March 9 Convo WHITE ANGELS

BY VIRGINIA COCKERHAM

What is the Baroque Style of Music? If you want to be right, call anything that happened to music between i600-1750 "baroque." Until the twentieth century this period was known as "The Era of the Figured Bass."

The composers were known. as old classics. The music showed organ tonal design and construction and in the evolution a n d perfection of musical forms. The visual manifestations were characterized by hugeness, g r e a t staircases, marble statues, an d over-sized wood carvings.

In this century, Curt Sacks introduced the word "baroque" to anything that happened to music between 1600-1750. The New York Baroque Ensemble will be presented at a convocation at 9:30 a.m. on March 9. This group was organized in the spring of 1961 and was presented at Carnegie Recital Hall in May 1961.

The group is a quintet and consists of three solo instruments; a flute, an oboe, and a: violin. The other two players are on a harpsichord and bassoon and play the ·harmony part. The ensemble includes instrumental and vocal numbers from the Baroque Period. All of the artists are experienced ensemble players as well as soloists in their own right.

Plans For Band Clinic In Making Preparations are again being made for the annual Band Clinic to be held at Peru State. Mr. Jack Snyder will be the guest conductor for the April 11 event.

As in years past, approximately· one hundred twenty musicians from the surrounding area w i 11 be chosen to participate. The group will be equally divided into two bands. Mr. Snyder will conduct one group during the morning session and the other during the afternoon session. Mr. Gilbert Wilson will instruct the bands during the opposite sessions.

The day will be climaxed by an evening concert under the directing of both gentlemen. The concert is· free and the public is cordially invited.

Strong-arm work is b e in g handled by the local chapter of the Music Educators National Conference with President Mike Janis directing procedures.

HATE GROUPS

By Phil Bateman

EDUCATION IS VITAL

By Melanie Gould

The newspapers and magazines have lately given a great deal of space to discussions of hate groups in America which seem to be on the upswing. Every reader is at least fairly familiar with the John Birch Society and what it stands for, but there. have been some rather startling revelations in certain of these articles that show that these bigoted groups do not confine themselves to such a large and well publicized organization as the above.

In fact, it seems that a great many of these groups are actively at work in the smaller communities and furthermore work very hard at receiving no mention in the press. Their work can better be acco~plished if they can go about it in comparative secrecy. When they are at last ready to actively perpetuate their programs on the people, they are so well organized and their plans so well laid that the citizenry find 'themselves totally unprepared to deal ·with the infringement on their lives that is the calling card of these organizations.

The hate group gains power through ignorance of their existence and function, and holds power through fear.

A fairly common misconception about organized bigotry is that it deals primarily with politics. This need not be the (!ase. Bigots can tamper with the lives of citizens in other areas such as censorship of the press, theater, and certain textbooks in schools. Bigots can affect the area in which one tries to make his home, they can affect the type of job that one can hold, or a place where an individual can sit down and drink a simple cup of coffee. One organization has even "Written a book that supposedly shows scriptural proof that God was the original great segregationalist. The list of lifetampering could go on and on.

There seems to be no concrete way of dealing with groups of this nature outside of education about their means and goals and active citizen participation against their infringement on the rights of others. The most difficult part about fighting these groups is the fact that they are largely made up of frustrated, unhappy people who mistake their bias for a sort of holy cause that will end in the purification of their less-wise neighbors. It is a great deal easier to believe in and follow a sort of holy banner than to try to believe in a doctrine of hate merely for hate's sake. The hate is always there, but it is disguised beneath the vestments of a crusade and the rather syrupy-sounding "Good American" title.

The important thing to remember is t]lat these groups are becoming increasingly more popular and numerous. There seems to be little chance that an individual could live out his days without runri.ing into one of these organizations at some time or other. Whether they grind one up and spit him out as a "Communist" or "despoiler of our fine American youth," depends on how well informed the individual is on the workings of these groups· and how well he can handle the best weapon against them; the truth.

The growing importance of higher education is becoming more and more stressed; Within th~ past two decades, college enrollment has more than doub\ed. The education level has been raised and the entrance requirements have been stiffened. Colleges and universities send advisors to the high schools to urge the students to continue their education.

Many businesses are now turning down or replacing those persons with high school educations and hiring only college graduates. The armed services now require the of-' ficer candidates to have a college degree, and the old officers are being forced to go back to continue their schooling.

In the past, higher education was a privilege; today it has become a requirement, and almost a risk not to have a diploma. This ~hould be considered when we realiz~ that every time a sh.I.dent fails to pass a test, he risks failing the course; every time a student fails a course he risks being dropped from school; and every time a student drops out of school, he risks his chance,. for success.

Possibly this seems a little harsh, but statistics by Time show that the college graduate has close to a 60% better chance of business success over the non-college graduates.

Perhaps we, as college students, should keep in mind that the amount of education that the youth of today receives may one day be the very axis around which our lives will revolve.

DELZEL?.

HALL By Dale Burgess i Accidents were a frequent thing in Delzell during the last few weeks. Tom Bresnahan lost the end of his finger in his door and was rushed to the hospital.

Tom jokingly remarked, "My typing career is ruined!"

David Seward, Jim Brown, Calvin Miller and Curtis Holliman couldn't wait for spring.

Bored with their week-end activities, they decided t-0 try horse-

back riding without a saddle.

Curtis got a scrape on the side of his head when he fell off. Jim also fell off but received only a bump. Dave was the only one to stay on the horse.

Bill Little is now back from the hospital. Bill was rushed to the hospital for an appendix ·operation last week.

Mail has become a problem in Delzell. Several of the boys have been missing checks an<l: letters.

Mrs. Paradise in an effort to keep the mail straight is now distributing it in the boxes herself instead of letting the boys p a w through it. It's things like this that make the residents of Delzell really appreciate the i r housemother.

GUIDELINES SHOULD IMPROVE TEACHING

By Dale Burgess '

What lies ahead for you, the college student preparing for teaching? As education becomes more important and necessary, trends and modes of education are also changing.

So it is that Peru State College is gradually changing, giving its students a much better chance of success in the teaching field.

One of the college's main aims in the future will be to encourage specialization in one field with additional study in a related or supporting field. This is a matter of tremendous importance to both counselors and students. In teacher's certification in the United States at the present time, there is a definite trend towards endorsing teachers in one field making it very important that prospective teachers select areas which support each other. · The person who is planning on teaching should take only those subjects outside his or her field which relate to it. This is a very important step in secondary education. Not only will the student be better prepared upon graduation, but he will be able to concentrate more on the field he chooses. The requirements for that field will be between 40-55 hours plus electives to graduate. Examples of related fields that might compliment one another are: Math and Physics, Speech and English, Music and Art, etc.

Certification and accreditation go hand in h~d, and so by following this trend, Peru State . will maintain its high standing and its graduates will continue to be well prepared for the teaching profession. gone back to Europe, "Combat" has taken over as the favorite show of the television watchers in Delzell.

As Easter nears, many of the guys are making plans for t h e four day vacation. Here's hoping everyone has a happy Easter.

The Case For The Fine Arts (Continued from page one)

Lindahl ...

Band Enthusiast

BY GARY CARVILLE The quiet, gray-haired gentleman who plays the trumpet for the Peru State College Band is Arthur Lindahl, Nebraska City, certified public accountant.

Mr. Lindahl was the business manager for Peru State College from 1953-59, and he has been a member of the college band since 1953. He travels to Peru twice a week to participate in band activities and rehearsals.

Arthur Lindahl first took an active interest in music at the age of 15 when he began playing for the Nebraska City Municipal Band. He later played for the Peru State College Band while he was a student of the college.

He was graduated in 1927, completing his college education in two and one-half regular years and summer sessions of school.

He finished with a double major of English and music and a double minor of business and history.

Since that time, he has played for the Nashville and Vanderbilt University symphonic orchestras. At the present time, besides being a member of the Peru College Band, Mr. Lindahl is the director of the Nebraska City Municipal Band, which is a 50 piece military marcldng bud.

He has also been ehoaa .h\ • the conductor of the N~ City Symphonic Or c hes tr a, which· the Sertoma Club of Nebraska City is in the process of organizing at this time.

Mr. Lindahl has more than an average love for music, which was evident while he taught at Sheldon, Nebraska, for 17 years.

Arthur has owned 17 different instruments from oboes to slide trombones, the majority of which he purchased for the purpose of furnishing the Sheldon Grammar School with equipment for a band. After leaving Sheldon, he sold all of his instruments except his trumpet and violin both of which he has continually played since that time.

Arthur Lindahl, with his 35 years as a music enthusiast and his many successes as a musician, has done much for music in Nebraska.

Frerichs Recital On Saturday, March 14, Miss Jo Ann Frerichs, student of Edward Camealy, presented he r Senior Voice Recital. The recital was held in the College Auditorium. Her accompanist was Sharon Johnson.

Her repertoire included "Lilacs" by Rachmaninoff, "Wall Paper" by Kingsford, "Rugiadose Odorose" by Scarlotti, "Vergin, Tutta Amor" by Durante, "Aria from Gott, der Herr, ist Sohn und Schild" by Bach, "Whonin?" by Schubert, "Dream Valley" by Quilter, "He Smiled on Me" by O'Hara, "A Memory"

by Fairchild, and "None But the Lonely Heart" by Tchaikovsky.

Miss Frerichs has been soloist for the Peruvian Singers and for the presentations of the "Messiah" in recent years.

world figures who are not from our native state, such as Shostakovich, Pasternak, and Picasso?

Perhaps the reas6n generally given when a student fails to attend cultural activities is that he does not understand them. If the case in question is a musical event, perhaps it would be wise to follow the advice of Aaron Copeland who says: "If you want to understand music better, you can do nothing more important than listen to it." Having put yourself in a position to listen to a musical program, the next step should1be an attempt to define the medium through which the music is being presented so that you may have a better idea of what is being done.

Let us take .the Peru State College Concert Wind Ensemble as an example. This is not an organization to be confused with the typical high school band, but rather a much smaller group with a limit of forty to forty-five members, comprising a full balance of instrumentation. including the bassoon, the oboe, and other instruments not always found in the larger organization.

Another basic difference is the emphasis on individual performance as there are usually only one or two musicians playing each part. This demands from the individual performer an ability to stand on his own. In the larger organization, one person may serve as the leader for six or more on a part, which allows weaknesses on the part of some of the performers.

Another feature of this organization is its versatility in playing a variety of music. The repertoire of the local ensemble includes symphonies, suites, semiclassical compositions, s ho w tunes, and ·popular' selections.

The size of the ensemble allows superiority of technique in all

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Eleanor Frandsen

BY ELEANOR FRANDSEN '

Spring? Most of the girls are getting spring fever. Some of the girls are digging out their spring dothes, and some of them have started their annual spring cleaning.

Morgan Hall has a new resident in the basement who seems not to be greeted with the most enthusiasm. Not too many of the girls have met our new resident face to face, as it seems there is always a great deal of commotion whenever he appears. F o r those who haven't had the fortune of meeting our little resident, he is "Squeaky," a little grey mouse.

JoAnn Schultz, Mary Lynn Hannah, and Peggy Quackenbush seem to have started a story-telling contest. Anyone interested in joining may contact any of the above three.

Linda Rogers had the misfortune of having her hubcaps stolen off her car. Through quick reaction and the keen sight of Peggy O'Neil who contacted the sheriff in Auburn, the vandals were soon apprehended.

When asked what the girls in the basement have been doing, comments rang up and down the hall. Regina Kreifels and Mary Gress remarked "We have been studying. In fact" we have studied more this semester than we have since we started school."

Birthday congratulations to Charlotte Klever, Linnea Ingwerson, Becky Perdew, an d Carol Nickels.

Peru Track Tearn Defeats Maryville

BY WENDELL WIKSELL Peru State won its second track meet of the season F t i d a y , March 6, at Maryville, Missouri.

Peru defeated Maryville 541/3 to 45% in a meet that established five indoor records for Peru. This is the first year Peru is competing indoors, so the best marks are indoor records. The records set against Maryville we re : Frank Graham 4:49.1 in the mile; Bruce Giovanello 4.5 in the 40 yard dash; David Seward 4.9 in the 40 yard lows; Jim Sprague 2:12.4 in the 880 yard run; and Paul MacNeil, Russ Ash, Jim O'Donoghue, and Bob Peck 4:47.0 in the 16 lap relay.

Jim Pilkington, assistant track coach, praised the team and called the victory a team effort.

He was very optimistic and said that this team could compile the best track record in many years.

He explained that there were several new developments this year that helped the team considerably.

Coach Pilkington cited the developments: an earlier start than in previous years, good talent provided by the freshmen football recruits of last fall, and the warm weather that made it possible to get outdoors earlier. All of these factors have contributed to an increased· amount of interest in track this• spring.

Coach Pilkington claimed that the team ·should be stronger than last year, particularly in the. distances and sprints. This should be a good indication of the kind of team we may see perform when the outdoor season begins March 24.

You Can Catch It Too During this time of the year a strange malady afflicts many people. Even the healthiest of individuals are likely to succumb.

It is most likely to occur on a balmy day when the sky is blue, the birds are singing, and t he landscape is turning green. The afflicted are overcome with a not unpleasant lethargy, and are not likely to take up new tasks. In fact, they may neglect current tasks.

This affliction is known as "Spring Fever." It is not caused by a "bug'' or a virus, and very few are immune. A mild attack of short duration is not considered serious.

The only antitode to prevent a severe attack is determined and continual effort toward one's daily tasks and responsibilities.

Usually one receives no warning .... so watch out for it1on the next spring-like day.

The visiting Peru State cindermen captured their first dual meet of the year by crushing the Drake Freshmen team, 66-36. Because of good weather many of the ·events were run on the outdoor varsity track, the exception being the 50 yd. dash, high and low hurdles, and the field events, which were held indoors. The Peruvians completely dominated the sprints by sweeping the first , three places in the 50 and 440.

Other Peru firsts came in the low hurdles, shot put, broadjump and the two mile run.

Drake captured firsts in the mile, high hurdles, pole vault, high jump, half mile run and the mile relay, but did not have enough depth to make a determined effort for a win.

SGA Helps Plan Scholastic Contest An SGA steering committee is making plans for the annual High School Inter-Scholastic Contest to be held March 20 on Peru's campus. All college classes will be dismissed for the day. Many /students will be assisting the faculty in the administering of tests.

Many organizations will have booths set up in the gymnasium.

The purpose of the booths is to give the high school students a preview of Peru's college life.

They will learn the purpose and aims of each club and the requirements for a major and minor in the field they may want to choose. There will also be a general information booth and guided tours throughout the campus all day. One section of the gym will be set aside for entertainment. There will be· featured numbers and music for dancing.

The Peru State College Symphonic Band Ensemble will present its annual Spring Concert on Sunday, March 22. The concert will be held in the College Auditorium at three p.m. with Mr. Gilbert Wilson directing.

The band will then go on tour March 24, to Rockport, Missouri, and to Farragut, Iowa. Then on April 2, the band will move to Odell and Diller for concerts.

This year's concert program includes several interesting numbers by composers such as Ericson, Bartok, and Reed.

The Peru concert is free and open to the public. This is one of the finest Peru bands in recent years and should be well worth hearing.

The S.G.A. candidates for the forthcoming election of officers presented their platforms at convocation, March 12. The prfi!sidential candidates are Dorothy Bock and Harvey Fisher. Lonn Pressnall and Jack Rinne a re running for vice president. The candidates were introduced by this year's S.G.A. president, Ray Ogle.

Lonn Pressnall _ and Dorothy Bock presented their platform first. Lonn's ideas and goals centered around the school spirit.

He feels that a group of students should be selected to make up a convocation which would be sent to different colleges. He believes that better relations and understandings of Peru would be negotiated. Dorothy stated that her platform centered around the accomplishments of this year. They would, if elected, keep moving forward at a faster pace. Th i s being done would improve the environment and image of Peru.

Jack Rinne and Harvey Fisher then presented their platform.

Jack stated that this year has brought about better communications between the administration and the student body. He, like the other three candidates, urged students to exercise their right to vote. Harvey's speech centered around three "R's"; rights, responsibility, and representation.

If elected they would set their aims high and work to the best of their ability for the three "R's."

The election will be March 18 and 19 at the Student Center.

Mrs. Kregel received her BS degree from Peru in 1931. She received her M.S. at the University of Nebraska.

When asked what changes have taken place in the Home Economics field, Mrs. Kregel said there is more vocational h om e economics taught in units of varied length covering all areas of the home, rather than on 1y "cooking" and "sewing" for a whole semester or year. Until 15 years ago the home economics department in the C a mp u s School was located in the basement area. At present the twoteacher department is located on the third floor.

Mrs. Kregel has taught since 1931. She has four sisters a n d one brother who attended Peru.

All of them followed their mother's footsteps and became teachers. At the present time three of Mrs. Kregel's sisters are st i 11 teaching. This family of teachers was once written up in the Council Bluffs paper. Her oldest sister graduatea from Peru with a degree in home economics. H er brother was in ind us trial arts and received his training from A. V.

A hat demonstration was given by Mrs. P. H. Naeve, Cook, Nebraska, and her daughter, Mrs. J. B. Douglas, 'Decumseh, Nebraska.

Mrs. Naeve gave the following account on a hat: It is the expression of a woman's soul. It is something she wears on her head, but belongs to her heart. It is her challenge to the world. She wears it to please her husband or a sweetheart or to get one. A hat is a flag, a bit of armor, the badge of femininity. It's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up. A hat is what turns a girl into a woman, a woman into a lady. Better still-a hat is what turns men's glances to your head-their heads to your heart.

She described a milliner as being like a doctor, prescribing the right hat for the purpose desired.

Mrs. Douglas modeled a hat her mother made and also gave tips on the amount of jewelry to wear with the dress and hat.

After showing some of the techniques of making hats and some of the latest fashions in hats, Mrs. Naeve closed by saying, "What a difference a hat makes. New hat, new look, new you."

Wind Ensemble Presented Concert On March 22

BY GARY SCHMUCKER The Peru State College Concert Wind Ensemble presented its annual Spring Concert on Sunday, March 22. The concert was directed by Mr. Gilbert Wilson, associate professor of music.

The program for this year's concert was the most difficult attempted in recent years. The program included such numbers as "Ruy Blas" by Felix Mendelssohn. It was written for the very successful play "Ruy Blas" by the famous French author, Victor Hugo. Mendelssohn was also responsible for the oratorio "Elijah." Music from this oratorio was presented by the brass choir.

Giovanni Gabrieli, composer of "Sonata Piane Forte," wrote his music in the Baroque period of music history. He established himself as a great composer of brass music and composed for the church brass choir during the 16th century.

William Latham and Maurice Whitney are well known American contemporary composers and the "Brighton Beach" march and the "Pastel for Band" are typical of their accomplishments in modern composition.

Normal Board Orders New Retirement Plan (Lincoln Star, March 24, 1964) Peru-The State Normal Board Monday ordered in to effect as of March 1 a new retirement program for employees of the four state colleges.

Authorized by the 1963 Legislature, the program resembles one now in existence at ±hs Univerversity of Nebraska.

Each empioye contributes 6% of his salary to the fund and this is matched by the state.

Meeting on the Peru State campus, the Normal Board was told that federal funds definitely will be sought for a library at Chadron and the start of a science building at Kearney.

E. K. Yanney, Lodgepole, board president, said both projects appeared to qualify for federal grants under the new higher education facilities act. The 1963 Legislature authorized a half million for each facility.

LOOO Students Goal Board member Carl Spelts of Kearney told a student convocation that the board is shooting for 1,000 students at Peru by 1967. He said the campus had facilities to accommodate 1,000 stu-

dents in contrast to the present enrollment of 738.

Dr. Freeman Decker, Normal Board co-ordinator, suggested that state colleges which desire to do so be permitted to offer courses leading to elementary and secondary school principals and supervisory licenses. At preseni, only the University of Nebraska and Creighton at Omaha are accredited ±o offer this program in Nebraska.

The annual Spring dorm party given by Mrs. Paradise for Delzell residents is being planned at the present time. A definite date has not been set for the party.

Grades going home are scaring some of the men here. The dorm might be a little more crowded for the next few week-ends. Midterm tests kept many busy here during the last few weeks and some Delzell residents are already working on term papers.

Here's to a good second half.

Mid-semester is here and the guys of Majors Hall are wondering where the first half went.

Ed Stillinger drove C a r e Y Lankford to Omaha to see a bone specialist.

The guys of Majors Hall had a busy week-end; some helped with the,. High School :Scholastic Contest and others hit the books.

A giant snowman was built on the north side of the dorm by Keith Grimes, Fred Gerhardt, and Gary Richey. The snowman was 17 feet tall and took the boys about six hours to build it.

"Mac" Hopes For Good Track Season

BY WENDELL WIKSELL Peru State has a new h e ad track coach, but certainly not a coach unfamiliar with the winning traditions of Peru. Coach Jack Mcintire is currently holding the reins on the track squad.

This represents the third h e a d coaching job of the year for "Mac." He was head coach of the football and basketball teams.

Coaching track on the college level is a new experience f o r "Mac," but he made a fine record in prep coaching. As a head coach in track at Falls City, he had ten straight Southeast Conference titles in ten years. In his one year stint at Auburn High, his Bulldog cindermen copped the conference title.

Jack Mcintire graduated from Peru State in 1941, lettering three years as a track man under Coach Al Wheeler. He specialized in the field events; the shot put,· discus, and javelin.

In discussing the fortunes of this year's track squad, Coach Mcintire was very optimistic. He admitted that the team would be built around very capable freshmen and that they should win more than they lose. He said that if everyone remained on the squad and maintained the proper attitude and desire, the Bobcats could very easily be conference contenders within two years.

Winninger Feels Tennis Squad Is Improved

BY WENDELL WIKSELL Coach Darrell Wininger has predicted that this year's tennis team will be better than any team he has coached in recent years. He did not predict a conference championship, but said that with a few breaks his team could be a contender for the Nebraska College Conference title.

Larry Piper, a transfer student, comes to the Peru Campus with a fine reputation as a tennis player. Larry lettered two years at Maryville, Missouri, an d should add considerable strength to the squad.

The fifth man on the squad is John Nore from Fremont, Nebraska. John has no previous college experience with tennis, but appears to be a hard-working, steady performer. W he n John has the experience of actually participating in a few tennis matches, he will blend in well with the over-all strength of the team.

Peruvian And Ped In Better Quarters

BY DOROTHY BOCK

Mr. Pilkington would have been proud of the advanced journalism and news e<µting classes Friday, March 13. 'rhey had a physical fitness program of their own as they moved the Pedagogian and Peruvian .()ffices from the Student Center to the basement of the Library. All theclass members exhibited strength and endurance in the many trips down the hill.

The girls found that a chair loaded with a stack of yearbooks is surprisingly heavy and thal\ the wind makes it almost impossible to carry a loaded bulletin board. Male members of the class exhibited their strength and manliness as they tripped down the hill with tables and desks.

Some of them were so enthusiastic that they could hardly wait for Monday when they moved the filing cabinets.

Mr. Linscheid supervised the move and found such necessary items as screwdrivers. He also directed the furniture arrangers in the new office.

The move is now complete, and Mr. Pilkington will be happy to know that the journalists on the campus are physically fit!

SGA Sponsors "Suddenly Last Summer" The SGA sponsored another movie "Suddenly Last Summer," March 22 in the college auditorium.

This story was a performance of unbelievable depth and power written by Tennessee Williams.

It also hit a new emotional height of the motion picture world.

Miss Elizabeth Taylor played a young woman confined to an institution for the mentally ill as the result of a traumatic experience, the v!olent death of a young cousin. Miss Katherine Hepburn, as the girl's rich and socially prominent aunt, exerts pressure to have a brilliant young neuro-surgeon perform a delicate brain operation that would have brought the girl peace, but a transformed and docile personality. The surgeon's hesitation, caused by uncertainty that the girl was really insane, set off a series of nerve-shattering events.

The stars of this chilling, suspenseful movie were Elizabeth

Nebraska's Best College

From somewhere in the past came the saying, "Human beings are the only animals capable of boring each other!" Little emphasis has been placed upon the possibility that other animals may be boring to each other, but any rationalizing about the human ability to bore is likely to be boring. The plague persists that li.uman beings do bore each other, because people insist upon using sterotyped and casual approaches to complex language systems ..The language systems become increasingly vague and ambiguous as they branch off from reality. Vagueness and ambiguity disintegrate communication into confusion then boredom.

The spoken word is the most common form of communication in the civilized world. The limits of oral communicativeness is like a stranglehold on every level of politics, business, labor, education and religion. Public address and conference leadership are making increased demands upon executives. The classroom teachrel!a.rdless of background, can be more succ(OSSful than to communicate, orally. Re may, eventually, have to make room for mechanical devices for teaching or i m p r o v e sufficiently to meet television standards.

Languishing in college speech classes, across the continent, are students only moderately motivated to prepare themselves for the days to come when they will be leaders. By choice, they prepare themselves to be amateurs when the days of responsibility arrive. Their instructors and administrators address them from decks of note cards or read to them, drearily, from typewritten pages. Effective disciplines evolving from the fifth century B.C. are sidestepped. Volumes of carelessly related information pour forth, drowning listeners with words and leaving them with few tangible ideas to grasp and hold.

Meanwhile, back at the civic club, or the Dale Carnegie course, or the Toastmasters Club, th e non-college graduates and th e alumni are struggling w i th speaking situations. They 'begrudge the Jack of speech training in the schools they attended.

The election :for the dorm officers for next year. :was held on Tuesday, March 23. · Candidates for offices were Ray Cain, Royce Curtis, Wes Dickey, Duane Haith, Ron McCoy, John O'Connor, Loren Penkava, Allen Sullivan, Larry Trimble and George Weiss.

Elected were Ray Cain, president; Allen Sullivan, vice-president and John O'Connor, treasurer.

Rudy Eichenberger and Don Rut left the dorm to student teach this semester so Tom Buchholz moved up to the office of president and Larry Trimble moved up to the office of treasurer.

Sunday, April 5, Delzell had its annual spring dinner at t e n o'clock. The dinner consisted of hot dogs, potato chips, ice cream and punch. Mrs. Paradise, who was in the kitchen cooking, said some 300 hot dogs and 50 quarts of punch were served. Serving in the cafeteria style line were Larry Trimble, John O'Connor, Tom Buchholz, Pat Thomas, Ed Loontjer and Ron McCoy. After dinner many of the boys gathered around the television to watch the Joe Martin show featuring Curtis Holliman and David Seward. They sang "What's Your Name" and "Bells."

Vasil Veshia, better known as "Mex" around the dorm and Frank Maldony claim they had a real good time over the Easter vacation. They visited the White Sanqs Missile Base in New Mexico and then traveled further south to Juarez to "observe and study the Mexican people in their natural' habitat."

Bruce Giovanello, Tom Fleming and 'Eric Swanson hitchhiked to New Orleans. W h i 1 e there they visited such places as the University of Southern Mississippi, Bourbon Street, the French Quarters and a twentysix mile long bridge. They rode the bus back.

Paul Fell reported that the Peru State Campus was rather quiet over the past Easter vacation. Most of the Delzell residents either went home or' visited someone.

The sad word around Delzell was voiced by Vincent Triano saying, "What, no more vacations?"

Mid-semester grades are out.

Some of the girls are walking around with long drawn out faces, and others are beaming.

Either the grades were good or they were bad. Girls, let's crack our books a little bit harder.

Susan Kenworthy has been busy lately telling fortunes. She has an "eight ball" which seems to attract many girls who want their fortunes told. You can go down anytime after 10:30 for the "seance."

Three girls from Morgan Hall are doing their student teaching this semester. They are Charlotte Klever and Peggy O'Neil-Omaha, and Jo Ann Frerichs-Beatrice.

Mary Lyn Hannah of Omaha is engaged to Robert Mathews of Omaha. Best wishes.

Birthday congratulations t o Bonnie Anderson, Janice Wilkinson, and Linda Jeffers.

I think of nothing personally more profitable to general education than travel. In my little home town it seemed the social calendar revolved around th e school at(lletic program and the annual picnic; the world spread to the county seat; the universe stretched to the state line; and the local banker was synonymous with Rockefeller or Carnegie.

The highest status symbol was one's name occasionally in the county weekly.

Late in my teens, when I started traveling, I was shocked to find Grand Canyon larger than the banks of the Blue, Carlsbad more impressive than the cave in which the "Dalton Gang once hid," McKinley more majestic than "Crowder's hill south of town," Lake Superior more in. viting than the pond in the pasture, and some lovely Mexicans (even some of the boys) and courteous Chinese far more civilized than I had assumed "foreigners" were supposed to be.

"The Flying Band of SAC," as it is often called, has travelled throughout the North American continent and points around the world. They left Friday for a tour in Puerto Rico.

Captain Herman G. Vincent, Commander of the SAC Band, is a veteran of twelve years service with the United States Air Force.

Captain Vincent has a masters degree in music from Louisiana State University, has done graduate work at Juilliard Conserva. tory, studied conducting u n d er Pierre Monteux, was assistant band leader and instructor in brass at the University of Wichita, Kansas, and played principal trumpet with the Wichita Symphony.

by Clifton Williams. Some of the other numbers on the program were "Festival," by Williams, "New State Fair," by Richard Rodgers, "America, the Beautiful," arranged by Carmen Dra· gon, "'Minstrel Boy," from "Irish Suite," by Roy Anderson, "El Torrero," by Giovanni, "Manhak: tan Tower Overture," written b,y,: · Gordon Jenkins and scor,~§. · by Glenn Osser, and "Begin th .

Ancestor of Present Observatory Was Located Near Campus School

BY GARY CARVILLE The history of the Peru State College observatory dates back to about 1888. Mr. G. E. Farnham, president of Peru State from 1883-93, procured a telescope, during his presidency, that we still use today.

The dome of the brick structure pictured above, was a construction problem that w as solved by the late Mr. George K. Pettit of Peru. Mr. Pettit, who owned a sawmill in Peru, improvised a steaming chamber in which he softened a group of two-inch square red elm boards.

The softening process made it possible to bend the boards over a domed frame which he had constructed. He then weatherproofed the outside of the dome with sheet metal leaving an opening through which the telescope could be extended. Th e building was located near the present site of the Ca mp us School.

In 1912 Mr. Frank Pettit, George Pettit's son and superintendent of buildings and maintenance from 1910•14, improved the dome that his father had built by placing it on a wheeled track for easier rotation. It previously had to be turned roughly by hand. Mr. George Pettit, an 85 year-old widower, is a resident of Peru and has lived here all his life.

When the science building was

constructed in 1928, a new observatory was constructed on the roof of the auditorium. The telescope was installed within the new observatory, and . the old brick building was razed. T he wooden dome, which met a lesser fate, was sold to a farmer who used it for a brooder house.

During the earlier stages of our present observatory, three people were required "to get out and under" to push the dome around manually. Since that time, a steering wheel has been installed within the dome to propel it on its wheeled track. The outside wall of the circular classroom is made of cement It has a slotted opening through which the eight foot, 51h inch refractor telescope is used to observe the heavens. The telescope is capable of magnifying 400 times what the naked eye c a n see.

An astronomy class was ~d last summer under the supervision of Mr. W. M. Rankin of the science department. The course will be offered again this coming fall. It is a regular day course with a ten hour night observatory lab requirement.

Mr. Rankin hopes that with more interest in astronomy, additional astronomical equipment, and a new more modern reflector type telescope, will be purchased for the Peru State observatory.

NOTICE The annual Publications Banquet will be held May 5, 1964 at Steinhart Lodge in Nebraska City at 6:30. Tick· ets are being sold for $2.SO. Tickets may be purchased from Janice Jones and Virginia Cockerham.

Christ and Moore To Education Conference

THE NEW OBSERVATORY

Dr. John Christ, head of the Division of Science and Mathematics, and Robert D. Moore, head of the Division of Language Arts, will be representing Peru State College at the 19th National Conference on Higher Education being held at the Pick-Congress Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, from April 19 through 22, 1964.

Both men will leave April 18 for the conference. Representatives from every college and university in the country will be in attendance at the conference.

The conference will begin on Sunday, April 19, and end Wednesday, April 22, with general meetings. The time in between will be taken up by many lectures and technical papers on all facets of higher education. Representatives will be at liberty to choose the meetings of their own choice because many will be held at the same time.

Mr. Leroy Leland, Peru State College history and philosophy instructor, has been awarded a Fulbright scholarship administered by the Department of State under the Cultural Exchange Program that will enable him to attend summer classes at the University of Athens, Greece.

He will be leaving in early July in a group of twenty men, chosen from nation wide applications, all of whom are either high school or college teachers.

They will assemble in Washington, D. C. for a briefing on different aspects of foreign travel and culture, then fly non-stop to Athens. They will return in the latter part of August.

Their schedule will be composed of research travel within Greece and a number of lectures, from world noted historians, at the University of Athens. They will reside: in Athens during lectures, and have access to the famous National Library of Greece.

The library has 650,000 volumes and over 200,000 historical documents of modern and ancient Greek civilizations, which Mr. Leland plans to use extensively to lay the groundwork for h i s doctorate thesis in ancient history. He had· previously planned that sometime in the future, he

Campus School News

BY JEANNIE GNADE Preparations for the May Fete come as soon as spring peaks around the corner. Girls from Mrs. Christ's class and Mrs. Iver· sen's class are working hard perfecting the traditional May Pole dance. The high school speech class is again preparing Midsummer Night's Play for the May Fete this time. The participants find it is different from most high school work, but they enjoy doing it.

Music contests seem to thrive in spring weather. The band participated in the Nemaha Valley Conference J.\'lrusic Contest April 14 at Brock. This gave them a chance to prepare for the District contest at Peru this week.

The band and other groups distinguished themselves.

The chorus presented the program for the Kiwanis Tuesday night. ·From comments floating around, the chorus gave a good account of themselves.

Spring means time for a spring play. This spring the play is a trio of one-act plays-Doctor In Spite of Himself by Moliere, Mar. . riage Proposal by Chekhow, and · Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare. The actors are working hard to be ready for the May 15 presentation. B es i des learning lines, they have to make costumes and find props and paint fiats.

The Juniors express spring time by sponsoring the · JuniorSenior Prom. This year it will be held at the college Student Center. Special reports have indicated that the Driftwoods, a combo from Iowa, will provide the music that evening.

the ratings included: woodwind choir, I; trumpet trio, I; woodwind quintet, I; drum ensemble, I; brass quintet, II; saxophone quartet, II; clarinet quartet, II. Ratings for instrumental soloists were: James Wilson, violin, I; Robert Milstead, trumpet, I; Patricia Adams, flute, I; Ann Adams, saxophone, I; Marie Ballue, clarinet, II.

VICK'S PALACE. Dahmus Gets NSF Grant For Year of Study

The Lowest Prices

Mr. Maurice Dahmus, Campus School math instructor, has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant for one full academic year at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The National Science Foundation Academic Institute, is a program designed to aid teachers to further their educations in science and mathematics. The grant offers an amount of money equivalent to what the recipient has been receiving for a salary, and, perl).aps, a little more because it is tax free. Those who ha:Ve been awarded Science Foundation grants will be separated from the college's regular student body in special classes.

Mr. Dahmus was also accepted by the universities of South Carolina and Oklahoma, but decided upon the University of Arkansas after he had visited,the school. He will seek a doctorate in mathematics or, possibly, in ·education.

Mr. Dahmus, who has taught at the Campus School for two years, is the father of ten children, six of whom he has at home. He and his family plan to leave Peru this summer. He will begin work in the summer session.

An Open Letter From President Gornon

Was Excellent Show

BY MELANIE GOULD

April 27, 1964 To Members of the Staff and SGA Members: This letter is written to advise you of the actions of our governing board concerning construction of new facilities on the campus of Peru State College.

Gary Ohnoutka Drowns Gary Ohnoutk::i. Weston, Nebraska, freshman, drowned in the Missouri River northeast of Peru about 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 6.

Mike Guilliat, Larry Franke.

Tim Olmstead, and Dick Daigel -all Peru State freshmen-were on the river. Guilliat and Daigel were wading in shallow water.

Gary then started wading and fell and was washed into deeper water by the strong current. Dick and Mike were unable to pull Gary out of the current. Gary's body sank despite their efforts.

Gary was majoring in business.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. -Les Ohnoutka, Weston, Nebraska.

As we went to press, the body had not been recovered.

1. The Board approved the recommendation of the architect and the president of the college that contracts be awarded for the construction of the new men's dormitory and the addition to the Student Center. Although bids were somewhat over the estimate of costs, through negotiation with the bidders on the various contracts, the sale of some additional bonds and the pledge of existing surplus~s in the college commercial enterprises accounts, sufficient money has been made available to proceed with construction as planned. Several days may elapse before all contracts are signed but actual construction should begin within the next 15 to 30 days. These projects are scheduled for completion by August 1, 1965.

2. The Board disapproved the bids for construction of the Fine Arts-Administratiori building. The total of low bids on this project was some $60,000 more than the funds available. It was the concensus of Board opinion that I al no funds other than the original amount of $500.000 appropriated by the Legislature could be made immediately available, 1 b) negotiation with the low bidders to reduce : be cvsts would result in the elimination of '.acilities within the building which would be unacceptable and le) a proposal to complete a

portion of the building and leave a portion of the interior unfinished would also be unacceptable.

The Board directed the architect and I h t· president of the college to review the edttcational specifications of the Fine Arts-Administration building and report the findings to the Board at the next meeting of that body. It appears now that this review will follow the general lines of retaining the music area, eliminating the administrative complex and possibly incorporating space for other fine arts such as speech, drama and art.

Because of the complexity of the problems involved, it is quite possible plans and specifications for the new building will not be ready until late summer or early fall. There is no question that there will be a delay in completion, but there is also no question that there will be a new half-million dollar building on our campus.

It is hoped this !Ptter will.clarify our present situation and will offset the seemingly-inevitable rumors and counter rumors that accompany developments which deviate from original planning. The staff and student body will continue to be informed of significant progress through the Faculty Bulletin and The Pedagogian.

Although there is disappointment that our original plans cannot be consumated, certainly we should not be discouraged by this temporary reversal.

Sincerely yours, Neal S. Gomon, President

CONGRATULATIONS, FRAN Mrs. Fran Wheeler has been directing May Fetes here for . many years, probably since 1951. All of her productions have been good, and this year's show was one of the best that we have seen.

Every number was good entertainment, from The Days of Vaudeville to the Maypole winding finale, where enthusiastic Campus School girls put so much verve into their performance that the ribbons broke and ended their dance before schedule, adding humor and probably setting a record of some sort.

Contributors not in Mrs .. Wheeler's department made worthy additions. Folk music by the Hill Climbers was roundly applauded. Midsummer Night's Play, a by-product of Midsummer Night's Dream done by Campus School students directed by Robert Bohlken, provided howls of laughter that would have met with the approval of the Bard of Avon himself. · So-congratulations, Fran, and everyone who had anything to do with the fine entertainment.

Each student registered at Peru State College has his or her own reason for choosing Peru as the place for his education.

Being a small school, Peru is friendly; and students from smaller schools find it easy to adjust to college life. The smallness of the school also allows more students to participate in school activities outside of the classroom, such as plays, sports, and school publications.

Peru, with its fine teacher-education program, has an excellent reputation for the teachers it produces. The cost being approximately $805 makes it possible for many students to get this fine training who otherwise would lack the opportunity.

Another big advantage Peru hq.s over large schools is the student-teacher ratio. The student will find most of his teachers more than willing to give extra help outside of classes.

A final point which makes Peru a nice place is the campus itself. It is a very lovely place. By .the end of the new building program, Peru will have more new or remodeled space than old.

No matter what the reason may be for a student's coming to Peru, we are all here to improve through education.

"Andy" Anderson, vice-president in charge of sales, outlined the operation of the plants. After the explanation, Mr. Anderson and Skip Boaz conducted a tour during which the actual operations were seen.

Processes such as the receiving and recording of dummies, layout, copy setting, photographic enlargement and reduction, final make-up and transfer of copy to aluminum plates were seen in the first plant. Cameras that are capable of 200% enlargement as well as the process by which a colored picture is made were of great interest.

Mr. Anderson was host to the group at a luncheon at the Holiday Inn. The printing and binding factory was visited in the afternoon.

Actual printing, folding, cutting, gathering, binding, and cover attachment were the processes in this plant.

North Dakota State's yearbook attracted much attention. It contained many interesting colored pictures and was of considerable size. The books when shipped will weigh close to fifteen tons.

Peruvians who went on the tour were: Virginia Cockerham, Janice Jones, Judy Beran, Tom Castle, Dan Leuenberger, Mert Finke, Fred Rimmer, Steve Harmon, and Harvey Fisher. Mr. Stewart Linscheid and Glenn Steward, area representative of the American Yearbook Co., and Peru alumnus were sponsors of the trip.

Pilkington Athlete And Scholar (Continued from page one) has four children.

He has had coaching experience in Red Oak, Iowa; Amos Alonzo Stagg High School in Stockton,~·california; the University of Iowa; and the College of the Pacific, Stockton, California.

During his Marine Corps duty, he served as a special services officer and coached football and track teams to several victories.

Mr. Pilkington's achievements are not all athletic, however. As a senior at Drake University he received the Des Moines Register Tribune's trophy for the senior letterman \vith the highest grade point average. He has recently been attending night classes at the University of Nebraska to supplement a year of residency and 37 hours completed toward: his doctorate.

Concerning ·education, Mr. Pilkington feels that teachers and the citizenry in general h av e . "missed the boat" on education of the total individual. They advocate adequacy spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically, yet the average teacher is com~ petent in only one or two of these areas. Peru's Teacher of the Year states that all teachers should strive to be examples of what they are trying to teachtotal adequacy or fitness.

Mr. Pilkington feels that many of today's mental problems can be traced back to a lack of physical and spiritual fitness. He believes that, to live up to the Pledge of Allegiance, every citizen should exercise to fatigue daily.

Crafts Class Displays Articles

Three Peruvians Elected To SEAN Offices

This past week the outside display case between the gym and the library has featured several articles from the crafts class.

Among the articles are ashtrays, cutting boards, trivets, coffee mugs and figurines. The shop room has extensive facilities for the construction of these articles. Among these facilities are kilns, polishing wheels, and a lathe. A pottery wheel is also furnished for ·those s t u d e n t s wishing to make free-form vases and bowls.

This class has also done some extensive leather work, making key cases, money folds and wallets from hand-tooled leather.

One of the members of the class is making a hand-tooled rifle case.

Using plexiglass and the wood lathe, another member of the class is making a plexiglass chess board and a set of wooden chessmen.

A smaller kiln is used for making metal and glass jewelry.

The course, directed by Dr. Siegner, gives its members a working knowledge of manual skills and is required for elementary education majors.

Choir Completes Tours

BY GARY SCHMUCKER Each year, the Peru .State College Choir tours the highs in the surrounding area. These programs help to promote interest in PSC as well as giving the choir some professional experience.

This year the men in the group have organized a men's glee club which has been well accepted in the area. Also in the group is an "inner choir" which is comprised of singers from each of the sections of the full chorus.

Some of the material that was presented included "In Bright Mansions Above," "My Tr u e Love Hath My Heart,'' "Agnus Dei," "Loveliest of Trees," "Tune Thy Music To Thy Heart," "Song of Peace," "Aura Lee," "Sure On This Shining Night," "The Green Leaves of Summer," and "Cry Out and Shout."

This year's tours included trips to Pawnee City, Johnson, Syracuse, and Nebraska City.

On May 3, the choir and the orchestra gave a concert in the college auditorium. Orchestral

Peru students captured three out of four State SEAN offices for the coming year. Those elected were Dorothy Bock, vice president, Jon Davis, secretary, and Bob Hilt, treasurer. President for the next year will be William Steinke of Concordia.

The state convention was held May 1 and 2 in Lincoln w it h Dr. Floyd Miller as the main speaker.

Record Library Small -Varied About one and one-half years ago the Peru library began to supplement its reading matter with recortl.s. Today a small but varied record library exists.

This record library contains various language courses such as Russian and German, and varied poetical readings from Whitman to T. S. Eliot. With a collection such as this one can turn back time and listen to selections from F. D. R. Speaks and Great American Speeches. Those students inclined toward music will enjoy German University Songs and Anthems.

The library player is a fourspeed Caliphone with four headset jacks for private listening.

The record library is an excellent example of extra services supplied by the Peru library.

Peru Boy Chosen As Navy Science Cruiser

Campus School News Three weeks left! The students are counting the days until they are released. The happy seniors are gloating since they have only two weeks and a sneak trip left. · On April 30, the senior class, accompanied by! Mr. Leland, Mr. Richey, and Mr. Van Zant visited the Internal Revenue, Federal Reserve Bank, and the Federal Court.

More hookie was played th i s week. The physics class took off for the Hallam Atomic Plant on Monday. A leakage had been discovered so the reactor was shut down. Several signs said "Scram" so the class did. They made a hasty retreat to Peru, encountering several familiar faces on the ,way.

The Prep actors have acquired something new-a horse (Bill Stephens and .Francis Mangnall) -to transport them. Pat Adams had a slight mishap but others reported it was a fine horse. See for yourself on Friday, May 15, at the college auditorium.

The students were surprised to learn of Mrs. Gergen's injury last week. Mrs. Schottenhamel did a fine job standing in for her. We are happy to report Mrs. Gergen is bac·k with us. We hope there are no more injuries since she makes out (wonderful?) assignments while flat on her back.

ARE THESE DEATHS NECESSARY? On the afternoon of May 6, a tragic event occurred not far from the Peru State campus. This event brought to mind a similar occurrence of two years ago. In both cases, a Peru State freshman was wading in the treacherous Missouri River.

In both instances, he was swept into the current and all attempts to save him were futile. In both cases, all of the students and faculty at Peru State were astonished at what had happened.

But that was when the news was fresh in their minds.

Has the occurrence had any effect on the student body at Peru State? Will it have any future effect? I rather doubt it. While the news of the drowning was shocking, very few people were really shaken up. The baseball team, of which Gary was a member, went on with their schedule as planned.

The occurrence was not profound enough to postpone a beach party, on the same Missouri river, Saturday night. Peru students are typical college students. The~ kn?w all there is. ~o know and no one can tell them what 'is right or what ls wrong. When someone tells a student that the Missouri river is the most dangerous place he goes for his "parties,'' he merely laughs it off and proceeds to his planned destination.

What must be done to show these students that the Missouri River is to be feared and respected? Is not the fact that two fellow schoolmates have given their lives to this treacherous monster evidence enough to prove that people ~hould stay out of the river? Will Peru State students never wake to the danger that lurks under the surface of the "Mighty Mo." Has another Peru State student died in vain?

-By Harvey Fisher LET'S RESPECT THE RIVER It has happened again. The treacherous Missouri River has claimed the life of another Peru State student. Will it occur again, and yet again-this senseless loss of life? After a year or two have passed, and the tragedy has been partly forgotten, will some other Peruvian slip beneath the muddy waters of the Big Mo.?

With all my heart, I hope not. These unfortunate deaths need not happen if the students will just learn to respect the river. It doesn't demand fear, but it does sternly request respect. Anyone who lives near it will warn strangers to be cautious. One student who has had experience with the Missouri even spoke to a speech class about its dangers. He was acquainted with the tragedy of two years ago and wanted to help prevent another.

None of us will forget what happened this month or in past years. For the sake of future Peruvians, however, we must keep the memories of these two tragic deaths alive. We must try to teach those who follow us, not necessarily to fear the river, but to respect it and all its power.

GOOD REASONS FOR ATTENDING PERU Have any of you thought about why you came to Pera.Z_ There are many reasons why I came to "The Campus of A Thousand Oaks."

The above motto is one of the reasons I came to Peru.

There are, however, many other attractions besides the beautiful oak trees. There is the colorful campus Oak Bowl, the brand new student union, the recently redecorated library, and the new addition to Morgan Hall.

The friendliness of the students and faculty generates a feeling of warmth. A friendly "hi" or "How are you?" is often heard from passing stude.nts. This kind of feeling is one which I do not think could be found in many of the larger colleges or universities. Even though the student body enlarges each year, there is still a close relationship between the student and the instructor. Most instructors are willing to give their time to help with any problems the students might have.

The low cost is another reason why I attend Peru and why many other people attend Peru. Many students can either work on campus or go home on weekends to work.

This also brings in the factor of location. The majority of the students who attend Peru have their homes within a 150mile radius. This makes it easy for the students to go home whenever they want.

One of the outstanding reasons for Peru's large enrollment is the educational facilities that are available. Peru has a fine reputation. Peru has an excellent teacher training program and continues to improve its program each year.

Peru also has a good athletic department. There is a varied social program. The football season is usually highlighted by the crowning of the Homecoming Queen. During basketball season, the big social event is the Valentine dance and the crowning of the King and Queen of Hearts. The spring sports season brings the biggest social event of the year, May Fete. There are dances, plays, and other social events to make life here at Peru more enjoyable.

These are just a few of the reasons why I attend Peru State, and I am sure that if the rest of the students would stop to think, they would also find that there are many more good things about Peru than bad ones. · -By Madelyn Bleach

DELZELL HALL By Dale Burgess The air is full of talk of vacation in Delzell. The end of school is near and the studying and cramming going on express the wishes of many to make g o o d grades in their finals.

Delzell will lose a few men this year. Seniors in Delzell are Tom Buchholz, Robert Eichenberger, Ronald Grant, Curtis Nelson, Don Rut, and George Weiss. Congratulations to those who are graduating.

It was requested by several men in Delzell that I express the thanks and appreciation of all the men in the dorm to our housemother, Mrs. Ev an e 11 e Paradise. She has helped in many ways to make the men in Delzell happy.

I want to express my appreciation to all of those that have read this column. I have enjoyed writing it, and am sure I h av e learned a Jot.

MAJORS HALL By Duane Hufnagel

The tree's falling north prevented damage to the dorm.

Construction activity has started with the surveying for the new addition to Majors Hall.

Tom "Catfish" Rosengren is known as the "Big Fisherman" of Majors Hall. It seems he has found a pond near Peru with an abundance of fish, to his liking.

ELIZA MORGAN HALL By Eleanor Frandsen Janice Jones, Kay Bender, Barbara Thompson, Barbara Young, Marilyn Gonnerman, and Marjorie Williss escaped serious in• jury last 'Thursday late in the afternoon. The girls had gone to Auburn and were returning when Janice lost control of her car, and it flipped over on its top.

The girls were only bruised and received minor cuts.

Morgan Hall wishes the girls who are graduating this year the best of luck in the future. They are Virginia Adkins, Jo A n n Frerichs, Carla Jacobson, Linda Janson, Linda Jeffers, J a n i c e Jones, Beverly Parde, Frances Sanders, and Cheryl Berner.

Most of the girls have their

summers planned. The plans for this summer are of a very wide variety. Some of the girls are going to work. Others are going to summer school; and others are going to rf?lax. Quite a few are going to dt\ some traveling to the World's Fair, and other places of interest across the United States. · Anne Epley is going to Germany to be with her folks; and Linda O'Hara is spending the summer in Europe.

The girls in the basement have a new friend or dorm resident. It ,· seems Frieda, the frog, has been~~ visiting the girls to find out what 2; dorm life is like. Barb Thompson didn't think Frieda, the frog, belonged so Frieda was booted out.

Bonnie Anderson, Pat Knipplemier, Carolyn Mercer, Brenda Howard, and Kay Camden have been enjoying a new game. The game, "inchy-pinchy," seems to be quite interesting.

Birthday congratulations Pat Richardson, and to all girls whose birthdays were missed during the year, and those having birthdays d u r in g the summer.

The year is almost to an end, and I want to thank the girls for their help and cooperation. They have been very helpful whichhas added to the fun of being dorm columnist. Thank you very much, girls. I hope to see almost all of you back next fall. Good luck on your finals.

PERU PEDAGOGIAN The Voice of the Campus of a Thousand Oaks

For the second time in • two years Majors Hall is saddened by the loss of one of our residents by drowning in the Missouri River. Gary Ohnoutka, Mike Guilliatt, and Dick Daigle were wading in the river when Gary stepped in a hole and was sucked into a whirlpool. Mike and Dick tried desperately to save him but the current was too strong, and they were lucky to save themselves.

The body was found Tuesday, May 12.

Former dorm resident Gordon Scott visited Majors Hall 1 as t week. Gordon is planning on returning to Peru State next fall.

At the end of the semester Majors Hall will lose Gary Richey, Gary Stover, Wayne Wallace, Skip Ogle, Ken Sims, and Dick Elmore through graduation.

Luckily for Majors Hall, last week's strong winds blew down a large tree north instead of east.

Seybert Golf Hot Shot

BY WENDELL WIKSELL At ·the beginning of the golf season, Coach Larry Ebner faced the usual problems of bringing a new sport to a college. He did not know that any of the students were interested in golf and he did not know what, if any, talent would be available for his squad. Now as the season draws to a close, we find a very fine golfer has emerged in Dick Seybert.

Dick, a transfer student from Kemper Military School and Junior College, has won four matches, tied two matches, and lost two matches. His best scores to date are: a 66 fired against St. Benedicts; a 67 against Northwest Jlllissouri State; and a 68 fired against Creighton University. These remarkable scores were all posted on the Auburn County Club par 70 course.

Dick is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Seybert Jr. of Atlantic, Iowa. He graduated from high school in 1960 at Atlantic and entered Kemper Junior College.

Dick's golf experience goes back ten years and stretches through several successful local tournaments around Atlantic, Iowa.

Although Dick is only a junior and has one year of eligible competition left, it is doubtful that he will be around to help Coach Ebner next year. He is majoring in industrial psychology and cannot get the required courses at Peru. He plans to attend the University of Omaha next year to get the required courses for his major.

Dick is not thinking too seriously about next year as of yet.

Right now his main concern is improving on his record and helping Peru win more matches during the remainder of the season. He also expressed desire to leave his mark at the conference meet on May 22.

It's ALong Trip Home On the weekend of May 1-3, five Peru State students (Leo Dietrich, James Cotter, Kenny Boatman, Marion Miller, and Gary Carvill.el made a trip to Renosa, Jlilexico. Renosa is located near the border of the furthest extremity of Texas, a short distance inland from the Gulf of Mexico.

The students who are extremely interested in social studies sought to observe the Mexican people in their natural habitat. They had previously planned to penetrate deeper into Jlilexico than Renosa, but once there they were overwhelmed with hospitality and decided to stay in the friendly atmosphere. · That night as the tempo of the lively border-town increased, the students walked the streets tak-

ing notes in small notebooks. As the evening progressed, G a r y Carville became so engrossed in his note-taking that he became separated from the group and eventually had to hitchhike back to Peru. His friends made a noble effort to find him, but failed.

They left word with American officials, and at various places they had stopped earlier in the trip, then returned to Peru.

Fifty hours, 1,200 miles, and 24 rides later, a weary hitchhiker was picked up at the Peru Corner by Dominick LaRocca who drove him the remaining eight miles to Peru. The hitchhiker was tired, hungry, and sunburned, and although he w a s happy that the trip was over he said that he was glad to have obtained the many experiences that the trip l'l'nd afforded him.

Campus Changes Since 1956

Graduation Memories.

BY FRANCES SANDERS

"By virtue of the authority vested in me, I hereby award you the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education." With these words a black-robed figure moves forward, a diploma is extended, a hand is shaken. And a new college graduate thinks of the day when he, as a small uncertain freshman, first walked through the doors of this institution of higher education.

What has happened to him the four years that have come a n d gone since that day?

He has learned many things.

BY JOSEPH WILDINGER Highway accidents in the U.S. took a record number of lives in 1963. Some 42,700 persons died on the nation's highways last year, and more than 3,460,000 were injured.

Youthful drivers in 1963 had the worst record of any age group in the United St ates.

Young men and women under 25 tepresent only about 15 per cent of the nation's licensed drivers, yet they were involved in more than 29 per cent of all fatal accidents and in more than 26 per cent of all non-fatal accidents. Our senior citizensdrivers 65 years of age and over -also made a poor showing by being involved in 8.1 per cent of the total number of fatal accidents.

Excessive speed again led other factors as the single greatest cause of street and highway accidents. More than 14,000 persons were killed and more th an 1,223,000 were injured as a direct result of speeding violations.

Other major causes of accidents included failure to yield the right-of-way and driving on the wrong side of the road.
