Snyder. who began his' duties as vice president on JWY 1 , feels he needs to to achieve this goal. Someone has to make decisions he said, bt,.1t .we need open channels. "People's opinions are via.lued,'.' stated Snyder.

The greater ownership. he .explained, was reflected in the summer's General. Studies Committee which include.d members of' the Faculty Association and the Student Senate. Snyder said these people were given a. chance to review. the presentprogram.

Musicians & Audience Need Each Other

by David M. Edris

The beginning of the school year is always an. exciting time. especially for the freshman students. It is a time to meet new · people. to experience new things. to new ideas, and a myriad of other things that are a part of the freshman experience. Also one must not forget the return of the rest of the student poplilatian far they too are a part of the excitement of the new year. For the upperclassmen the beginning of the school year means renewing old acquaintances in addition ta meeting new pecple, experiencing more new things·. learning mare new ideas, and hearing more new sounds.that to them can only mean one thing--the sehool year has offk:ia!ly begun with all of its attendant excitement and sounds.

The sou.nds of a college are the things that have always been the most intriguing to me. Unfortunately, tao many people are so totally bombarded with sounds of every kind and from every direction 1 that most of them don't ever really take the time to listen to any 9f them.' It's a pity because many times the 'sounds one hears can reveal a ·great deal of information. For example, if one enters V.H.

What is there about singing or playing an insi.·ument that would make a person want to sit in a practice room hour,after hour, to achieve that elusive ideal called

Orie a'f the exciting things assoc.lated with college life is the opportur\ity to learn new things.

The Department of .Music at PSC provides opportunities for the experienced as well as the novice performer. One of the. greatest misunderstal'.ldings of many new students is thinking they ha veto.be music majors in order ta join a campus musical· organization or that they possibly won't be good enough to be included. The fact is that a significant majority of students performing in PSCmusical organizations are not music majors nor are they all virtuoso performers; anyone who has had some musical experience in high school is probably qualified to particji:;>ate.

Perhaps the urge ta perform can be explained as silT)ply being necessary for self-gratification, satisfying the ego. Perhaps the urge is to please others through performance and in return to be pleased by the listerner's applause· and approval. Perhaps it is· a cambinati9n of both. Perhaps it is something altogether different; however, the urge to Perform is still there.

Giittinger New TMI ·ranch Manager

by Vicky Smith

As PSCbeginsa new semester.a new Branch Manager is found at TMI. Peru's telemarketing firm.

The Peru office, the first of its kind iocated on a college campus, is P.art of Telecommunications Marketing, Inc., a nation-wi<:fe company based in Dallas. TX.

On Aug. 1, 1989, Pat Giittinger replaced Kathy Swartz as the head of the Peru branch;

Prior to accepting this position, Giittinger had worked for TM! as a .TSR, telephone sales representative, for three months and as a floor manager for 16 months. ·On Jan. 1, 1989, she resigned her position at TMI to start her own business. ··

When Giittinger was asked to retum to TMI as Branch Manager, she was "delighted" to accept the Offer l::ecause, "It's an opportunity to work for a company I have a lot of faith in."

Giittinger feels qualified for. the jOb. because she works well with people and does not jµdge others bY whaf; she hears. She prefers to get to know someone and watch how they perform their duties, then make any judgements.

She asked the PSC students to give TMI that same consideration.

Gii'!;tinger said that although working at TMI is not for everyone, each person interested in a job should check TMI out for himself.

TMI ·works with the students, Giittinger said, "ff'a student needs to, .,c,1¥tnge .a work schedule to coincide with· classe$, or needs time off for class, we·will arrange schedules with them. But the students also need to work with u.s." This c.an .be done, Gilttinger said, by telling the managers as soon as a student knows when a change will be needed and by making up missed time as soon as possible.

What may not nave been a suitablejob.f'orone person may be a perfect job for another one.

According to Giittinger. the studies of students must be their first concem. Students should not overload their schedules with work. They should start out at TMI with the minimum nights required, two week nights and Saturday

Participation in the program is also indicatE!d on a student's permanent college record and graduates will be recognized at commencement

Or. McCrann is teaching the only honors course offered this semestera.t PSC, HP 101, but said, will be disappointed if more · honors courses are not offered by the end of the semester

Students Working· More

(CP$)--More than half of all ,.;age", college students. v&'ork at parttime. the American Council ori Education (ACE)estimated Sept. 4.

'The ACE, the umbrella group for the nation's college combed·. through 19$8 employment stats to find tnat nearly 54 percent of students between 16 and. 24 yea rs old had Joined the labor force, up from about 42 percent in 1

About 54 percent of the students with joqs worked between 15 and 29 hours a week, although 10 percent worked at least 35 hours a week.

Even more older students are juggling work and school.

Of the 5.3 million collegians over 25, abo{.Jt74 percent had a job in 1988. They worked an average of 37 hoyrs a week.

Most, it seems, work to avoid big bills in the future. ·

"Rather than face' a large debt burden when they graduate, many needy students have chosen to work their way through college," said ACE President Robert Atwell.

"The neediest of students, who often come -from academically disadvantaged must divide their concentration· between worl<. and study, with a good chance ttliat .academics will suffer in the long run.'' Atwell said.

Other reasons for the increase in students as employees is the growing number .of part-time· students · over 25, and a decline in th& pool of 16 to. 24 year-olds, spL.irrb1g employers • to off.er· gr!:la-ter. incentives to workers in added ACE Vice President

State Colleges Need To Stand on· Their O\Nn

by Mike McCoy

When State senator Jerome Warner of Waverly presented LB · 160 before the state legislature last year, there was ··a.lmost immediate resistance. The bill's basic purpose was to slip Kearney State Cqllege from under the power of the State COiiege 136ard of Trustees and into the University system.

KSC hadvalid reasons with whicb to bac.I? thts.propcisat, but $till the many questions left unanswered by thi"? bill were more than some people could swallow.

There was uncertainty everywhere, as;one-by-one institutions in both the University and State O:>llege systems began to express their opinions and. question the whole idea of transferring KSC. The UNO faculty and administration along with the UNL student body. each spoke out against the merger. Even the University 136ard of Regents could not endorse any ·measure ttiat would facilitate a transfer.

Meanwhile, rallies on the. state college campuses at Chadron and wa.yne each showed definite disagreement with LB 160's intentions., The'se objec,ions resulted in another bill LB 760 introduced by state senator Sandra Scofield of Chadron. LB 760 woµld have given each of the four. currernt state colleges the title·s of state universities, serving areas. The campus at

Morrissey also pointed out the sobering fact that the underfinan· ced State College System had grown .19% in the last five years, while the University's .growth has stagnated, showing where the real reevaluation should occur.

This is the idea I held when I went to cover this hearing for my article. This was a chance for PSC to truly poif)t out the deficiencies in the areas they feel cpuld use reevaluation. It was also a chance to discuss funding and new. programs the college feels.need to be considered to keep PSC an

Sixties Styles Lose Student Support.

(CPS) Sixties music may still be in concert halls, but the sixties fashion craze that afflicted many campuses last year'is suppose.to be over.

Levi Strauss & Co., the giant San Francisco-based jeans manufacturer, said the trend's epitaph is found in the results of its survey of 1 ,400 collegians '1 10 U.S. and four foreign lmpuses.

Asked what looks were "not in," 83 percent of those polled listed sixties-style looks such as bell bottoms, P,eace signs and smiley faces as stuff not to be seen in.

Even t-shirts are Jpsing favor, asserts Levi's spokeswoman Debbie Gasparini. "Oearly. college kids aren't making or buying them."

But it seems lots of them haven't gotten the from Levi's yet. "In Chapel Hill. (the sixties look has) never gone. You see a lot of it around," said Billy Dillon, manager of Beach Connection, a surfing shop popular among stuClents from the U\)iversity of North,carolina CUNC).

"Plenty of people wear tiedyed clothes,;. added Nicole Breck, a Connecticut College senior.

And at the University of Maryland in College Park, "There're still tie-dyes running around," reported senior Keith. Paut

"Patches, the De·adhead look, peace symbols there'sa lot of that on this campus," added senior Dana Rudnick, who works at University Bo1.,1tique. a popular Maryland haunt.

"There's a certain facination among students with the sixties," observed James Comb, a professqr .of. politic.Si anCI pop culture at Valpraiso University in Indiana. "A lot of them wished they kind of lived through it, althougti very few people .1ook0go©d··init.I»

The Levi's 501 Report, conducted by the Roper Organization. indica.tes th.at· collegians regard backpacks, stereos and. of course, blue jeans. as their most essential possessions.

T-shirts, black-colored dothing, leathe.r jackets and miniskirts also rate high.

Foreign students from Milan, Paris, Tokyo and Toronto, included for the first time in the annual surveyy, had strikingly similar tastes to their.American counterparts.

The only differences were how their clothes fit and what sort of accessories they chose. Americans· like it loose and casual, while the foreign choice is for a tighter tailoring and dre.ssier accessories.

Israeli jewelry, exotic beads and anything that looks like it came from somewhere. else.

Combs guessed it reflects the changing mixture of America's "melting pot" and the growing fascination with different cultures.

"Fashion ls a way to ease into different sorts of cultures," he mused. a pla;yful way of dealing with things."

"Elt.it it's really mysterious why ,they pick up on certain things and not others."

University of Idaho are picking up on "the New Age look," vvearing lots of .flowery clothes, says Ana Pena of Rock Bottom, an off-campus shop. Also big are jackets styled after the World War f chemical warfare coats, which st1.,1dents like to pair with baggy jeans.

Baggy clothes are a bit at UNC, too, says the. Beach Connection's Dillon. "We have 90-pouncl girls com\ng in to buy extra-large sweatshirts all the time."

Vet at Maryland, baggy clothes are fading fast. "There comes a time 'llVhen you say 'I'm tired of looking like a sack of potatoes,"' Rudnick says.

Instead, .more tailored clothes are coming into "especially as. you get 9lder and have to start thinking about a business wardrobe," Rudnick explained.

oUeges Face Brain Drai

(CPS) •• Campuses will suffer a shortage of at least 6,000 professors by the encl of the "ce;,nturyunless they start luring more students into grad schools now, a new Princeton Univer· sity Press report predicts.

Half the nation's camplJses already don't have enough teachers to k2ad courses this fall. the American Council on Education estimated in August. Princeton ·$a ys· 'tlie hew report. by William G Bowen and Julie Ann Sosa, is the first statistical confirmation of the trend ;,\ Bowen an.cl Sosa see i;he worst shortages in humanitie7 and social sciences courses. ra.ther than in the science classes previous studies have highlighted.

··we need to increase overall production of new Ph:D s by · two·thirds," Bowen said. "Jn the hurrianities and social sciences, we need to double the. current numbers."

College professors. of course. must have doctorates, which they earn in grad school. During the past·decade, however, the .number of students opting to go

on to grad school instead of into the job market has dwindled.

The.current crop of professors, meanwhile, is aging and will be retiring during the next decade.

Bowen and Sosa projected •that. through 1 g92, there will be· 1 .6 people competing for each open college teaching position.

By 1997-2002, there will be only .83 candidatesforeachjob. ·.vith only 30.934 candidates to fill .37,G9 <·pO'sltions·1nation.1Nider i1.

'"Enlightened policies can be adopted. to increase the pipeline · so that the shortages we envision do not come to pass:· : \ ' : · •' ''

He suggested shortening the time required to earn a Ph.D increasing the: number of fellowships offered. and improving the amount of money they"' pay to grad students to something closer to a living wage.

The sho.rtages will be worse in some places than in others. The 14-carripus California State University for one, wor.ries it will be unable to fill 10,000 to 1 1 ,000 teaching positions during the next 10 to .. 15 years

New Ideas..:At Cafeteria

PSC has a new Food. Service

Direc:tor with a few new' ideas.

Food Service Director, George Morrison said, "We've got some good ideas to _break the monotony in the cafeteria."

The "monotony breakers" are not just a change in cuisine but also in the atmosphere and the traffic flow in the cafeteria.

Morrison said that the ·:weekly monotony will be directed at a change in setting possibly a noo;.., time talent show. The ·.·monthly monotony ,breakers" will indude sust:i ac:1;ivities an J:;layv'.'lila.n 'luau .er st-.,;'ak · in;luded ir\ tlie menµ; Mor'rision is hiring n.ew people to'eit:hE;,r. replace or fillvacancies in the&afeterla.

Mordsi;n stated that the Bob l;..,fl; formerly a homey-type atmosphere. is now .b·yinc.i to cater to the stude.hts who use it most. ':,We're to n:iake the Bob,lnn into'· a hang-out for the students of the Bob lnh, Ruth Hightower, commente<:;i on some of the changes the Bob Inn has undergone. Some people have already joined the

coffee club: where you get your own personalized mug .and free refills.

Hightower stated the tabl19 cloths and booths, Jn addition to the expanded salad bar and.daily specials are nice. Hightower said that Rhonda Morrison. manager of the Bob Inn, would still like to see a bulletin board mounted on the wall.

"Throughout the meal period. \here· we,·e times whel]l the pizz.;i was cold. We -would like tb see the people that get here at 6:00 get the same food and treatment from •the o,taff as those who arrive at 5:00." Morrison h9pes to limit these incidents through his expanded manageme.nt system.

TUESDAY/ SATURDAY 25¢ DRAWS

Have you ever wished you could find a copy of a newpaper article you read a few months ago? Did you ever wish the New York Times covered more topics that were relevant locally or at least to the Midwest? Why is it only possible to find old newspaper articles in sporadically clipped vertical files. where they yellow a'nd crumble soo.n after filing?

Now there is a solution to these qvestions. The PSC Library has abldEid a new service to pr;vide this previously inaccessible information. The source is called Newsbank.·A monthly subscription t.o Newsbank includes copies of newpaper article.s on a wide ·variety of topics in the microfiche format. Over 600 newspapers. including the Omaha World Herald and the Lincoln Journal contribute to this vast ''clipping file" on microfiche. Furthermore, five

Missouri towns, six Kansas towns, and six Iowa towns are also represented with ne.wspaper selections.

In addition toa paper ;;:.,dex to the file, the Library has acquired an electronic index. Not only the thousands of general interest Newbank articles are indt-?xed on this CD-ROM disc. but also articles available on interlibrar·y loan from libraries subscribing to more specialized .Newsbank services. The· rapid. easy manipulation of computer searching opens up this whole new area of information for library users.

The basement of the Library houses a computer with CD-ROM drive set up to search the Newsbank index. Currently the Library t1as only the July 1 g89 microfiche, but the previous year and current monthly additions are expected to arrive soon.

Concerns· at/out students' privacy a.swell .as a sheer shortage of campus man'power. however, led som:e observers to believe·a big national crackdown or:i student drug'users probably won't happen in the near future.

Colleges already have to have anti-drug programs in place,, Bennett said he wants them stiffened.

Bennett defined "tough" as a program like that in Anne Arundel County., Maryland, where schools expel any stua;;nts caught selling drugs. Students caught consuming the stuff are suspended, and then turned over to the police.

Bennett, head of the U.S. Department of Education during the Reagan administration and now director of the National Drug Control! Policy Office, said goal of .the program was to prevent straight students from slipping, "down a slippery slope of drug use" and, for others. "to get them to stop."

To get federal college loa:is and grants, students already have to sign a statement that they don't or won't use illicit drugs.

Their school officials. moreover, already are required to have antidrug "programs" in place

into law in 1987 that Ron Bucknam. then the Education Dept. 's drug prevention director, quipped that

We've kicked students of school for drug use," said "a school.'s (anti-drug) program" NewrT\an, could consist of a college dean standing on the campus quad at midnight shouting 'Don't Do Drugs ! if that's what the college wants.

•In 'April. an anonymous ,;sPeechwriter" further confused the definition of ·just how the federal 'government wanted colleges to enforce anti-drug rules by inserting in a schedulec;I spee,ch by current Edcuation Sec. La,uro Cavazos a proposal to

No one, moreover. fores. students surreptitiously inform the major campus efforts to tra, government if their classmates ·down drug.using s:t:,udent;lf were using drugs.

.Cavazos quickly backed off the proposal before delivering the speech, but not before the prepared text had been released to the press.

Making Bennett's Sep;t:. 5 proposal to expel certain students work would also pose legal problems for campuses. some observers said. Would students accused of selling drugs on campus be expelled even before they go to trial in the years after being arrested? Would a· student who used marijuana suffer the same pi;inalty as one who sold crack?

Inside Sports ... Varsity Sports Need Expansion

by Arny ·Snyder

Peru State College is on the move.

It is corning out of a period of contentment with a once mediocre status and is taking the steps necessary to move forward in many areas.

A lot of hard work has been done to improve the student's academic surroundipgs and.. the College's comrnunity relations. The school's overall .outlook for the future is improved.

With this constant effort and consistent success, the word is· getting out. PSC is a place to be proud of.

It is my opinion that for an institution's package to be complete, every aspect of it must be allowed to grow. In this respect I believe variety.of varsity

athletics offered by the school should be expanded.

Athletics on a college campus are very Not only do they give students a physical outlet a.nd a chance to compete, but they <;ilso spread certain reputation and respect that. directly reflect the atmosphere of the school.

Our current programs have done a lot. to recruit a m1rnber of st.udents 'and supporters. An addition of at least two more· sport;s co:Uld only increase those figures.

Examples' of possible options are tennis, golf' swirnrnipg and track and fieid. The facilities and· equipment for these sports are already located on carnpµs. or can be easily accessed. in the surrounding area.

Football Scores-

Additional costs such asuniforms and travel would have to be worked into the school's budget at an affordable rate.

While l realize. \:hat this is not an easy task, I think the future receipts in the form of quality students and .boosted school spirit would more.than compensate.

At the beginning of the week. I spoke to Dean Jerry Joy, and he assured me that the subject· of more varsity sports has b.een discussed at length. He said that it has been placed.on a list of .terrn'goals for PSC.

This• topic has come arn;:l gone many times in the past. But I truly believe that Peru State is ready for such , in addition.

A lot .of positive things are being s<iid and heard right now, and a lot of people are becoming aware that PSC is f'.ar and away more thanjust mediocre.

What better tirnie or atmosphere could there be to offer the students and the community additional programs that they i::ari be proud of?

Students Need To Exercise First Amendment

by O"lris Denker

The First Amendment has been interpreted as meaning that no government. federal or state, can place "prior restraints" (that is, censorship) on the press except under very narrowly defined circumstances, according to American Government: Institutions and Policies.

The Peru State Times is a medium for the first amendment. The paper is a place ·to inform, entertain and persuade. There are stories about sports. organizations, campus events and meetings. There are various columns and : editorials.

Art

Is there anything missing?

Yes! One area that gets minimal input is Letters to the Editor.

Why? That is the question being posed to you. The college paper is a perfect place to air out your concerns, to ask questions. or to give praise that might have gone unnoticed ha.d you not said anything.

Every person has an opinion about things that not only happen on campus but occur in everyday life. How do you ever hope to accomplish a goal or get something changed, if no one knows about it?

This is your paper and the

members of this staff are here to serve you. We report the happenings on campus and · focus on people that· make things happen. If '41.e s:an't help you specifically, we can direct you to the people that can help you with a problem. If someone should be recognized or praised for a deed. write a letter to let us know.

Now the Times is not a National Enquirer. As a ·newspa'per, we have a code of ethics, and we will not print a lettetr that is not signed and contains information that cannot be verified.

However, if you have legitimate concerns and

comments, we want to hear them.

For example, the decision to make an art gallery was a fantastic idea. The campus will be because of it. and it generates positive publicity for the art .departmeht. However, do you wonder how the was made for the location?

The gallery takes the place of two class rooms on the first floor of the fine arts building. Many classes were located in those two rooms. How do instructors and students feel about being relocated? What is your opinion?

How do you feel about the.

changes in the cqllege news paper? The name has changed and so has the format. What about the content and types of stories that are put into the paper? What would you like. to see more of?

last issue. we printed letters of praise that we. had received.for the changes in the newspaper. However, we also want constructive criticisms, so that we may continue to strive to improve your paper.

The campus can only improve with your help, and it can all start with a letter. We challenge you to exercise yo;_;r first amendment. This is your college newspaper--use it!

Gallery's Location Is-Questioned Letter To The Editor

by Cathie English

There is an art gallery being constructed on the PSC campus. I want this college to have an art gallery. 'Art has always been a love of mine, and I am looking forward to viewing the works of many talented artists. I appreciate art and understand it. What I don't understand is why there wasn't more consultatjon with students and concering the. decision for the gallery's location.

Various opinions .have been expressed on the PSC campus over the' last two weeks concerning the development of a new art gallery. Many students.and 5ome instructors have questioned the use of Jindra Fine Arts rooms 104 and 105. One for concern is the permanent loss of classrooms and in particular. the loss of the first floor classrooms for handicapped students.

faculty question this move is the recent controversy over the lack of office space for aqjunct faculty in the same building. There are some who

may think it is absurd to create an art gallery when instructors need adequate offices to go about the business 9J educating.

It is a state law that every building be handicapped accessible.

If the Joss of classrooms is a concern, apparently it i_s because of a shortage of classrooms. Yet there is a list of 24 classes posted on the floor of room 105, all of which have been to different rooms in the Jindra Fine Arts. T.J. Majors or Hoyt Science buildings. This indicates that these classrooms were available.

it is a state law that every building be handicapped accessible. Thislawrequiresan elevator if there is more than one a facility. The Firle Arts building has an elevator, although it may not be maintained as it should be. If

this is the case, then the mainter'iance should be improved.

Students may sympathize with aqjunct faculty over their lack of office space. Students know better than anyone how unnerving it·fs to share a dorm room in which you have to house your furniture. c:fesk, books and other personal property. They also know how hard it is to study wher;,i they are constantly interrupted by either students, loud music;, or an unco9perative roommate.

Adjunct faculty do have a right to complaiR, but before

the building projects toward the ac;:quisition of works of art.

Certainly, a permanent art gallery may become a drawing point for artists around .the country:· This, in fact, would create an atmosphere of culture and beauty· for the students, faculty, administration and surrounding communities.

If is a controversy concerning the new art gallery it is because there was a disregard for student and faculty input concerning the location decision. Students want to voic;e their opinions

PSC has approximately $16,00.0 to purchase art work from one percent of the construction cost of T.J. Majors.

anything is accomplished, the students will have to take a stand. They can accomplish this by contacting the Student Senate.

Students, in general•. would probably agree that we need an art gallery. It is in line with the philosophy of .t!-)e school to become a cu}tural center for. southeast Nebraska. There is an immediate need for this gallery in order to display the entries of the competitive Art Exhibit for the T.J. Ma.iors Building. PSC J-\as approximately $16,000 to purchase art work which was made possible by a state law providing one 'percent of the construction of

If there is a controverst concerning the new art gallery: it is because there was a disregard for student and. faiculty input concerning the location decision.

eoncerning problems on the "Campus of a Thousand Oaks." Perhaps a student may have had a brilliant idea on where this gallery might have been built. This is our campus. We want it to be the best it can be, but it has to begin with us.

Dear Editor:

I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to Peru State College: l refer to the Memorial Service for Chris Haddad on Thursday, Oct. 5. lt was a beautiful service that was entirely appropriate for a beautiful person like Chris.

My life was affected by Chris Ha<;:ldad. and I miss her very much. Chris was a very special person who touched many, many lives at PSC. l believe I ·speak for all of Chris's friends when l say that her loss is deeply felt in ·our hearts.

I have always been proud to be a student and a staff mer'Qber of PSC, but nE>ver have I felt prouder than when I realized the depth of devotion that PSC has for its students. fac::;ulty, and staff. exemplefied by Chris's memorial service. I felt a love th rough out that service that lwillnotsoonagainfeel.

Education is that quilt that covers the earth, every part and parcel, mountain and desert-softening and sculpting a landscape both uniform and different. Education .suppfies the ··essential atr:nosphere for dreaming and the materials for building. It provides for each unique individual countless opportunities and energies for reflecting, creating, and for becoming a part of an allencompassing oneness with the world, without losing that priceless singularity.

Now is the winter of our discontent in education. The critical , winds howl and push old snow1nto grotesque, crusted drifts or leave bare great, dark patches of earth. Here is death in winter'-when the changing is denied an<::! there is no new snow.

Each individual flake is a unique perfection: one of the strongest, most self-supporting structures in nature; one of the most fragile and ephemeral. By itself, each is a special crystal capabl.e of reflecting light back upon itself ol refracting light into a new direction or diffracting light into its brilliant spectrum.

Collectively those little· stars blanket the earth. Allowed to settle gently, they change the harshest landscape, softening, smoothing, sculpting. Driven by the wind, they chisel away at the ground and at the resolve of even the most hardy soul.

Beneath that mantle there are no sleepers. Spring reveals the changes wrousht in winter: new growth, refreshed appetites and energies, a landscape at once more uniform and different. The promises of spring are built on winter's foundation.

Snow is my metaphor for dreaming, for human potential, and

·CLEP Helps Adults Continue Education

Does anyone enj'oy exams: for students in the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), the answer may be yes.

CLEP was founded by the College Boa rd and the Carnegie Corporation in 1967 to help adult students begin or continue their education. The program tests people on knowledge .acquired in a variety of ways--in school, at work, in the military or through re.ading and personal cexperience. Participants can then use to earn college credit.

CLEP participants can choose from 30 subject examinations in fields such as accounting. psychology and foreign languages.

for Diane Aimone, a .secretary and mother of .three, taking 'the CLEP ge1;1eraf exams enabte her to earn 21 credits in her. first

semester as a part-time student; at (N.J.) State College. Without CLEP, it would have taken her almost two years to earn those credits.

Aimone is one of a growing number of adult learners who· are unable to attend school.. full-time because of work and family obligations. Studies, done.by the College Board shOV\f that 45 percent of students studying for undergraduate degrees today are 25 or older; that figure is expected to rise to 50 percent by ! 993.

According tq Orlando Toro, Director of CLEP .·at the College Board, 256 colleges in New York •.New Jersey and Connecticut grant credit through the program: "CLEP operates as a program of the college.

Every school has its own policy on how credit is granted, so it's best .for students to approach each school individually."

Peru State College allows 16 credit hours earned by CLEP exams. Unda Warren, placement director, gives the exams.

Students using CLEP can also save dollars on their while ea,ch tredit at PSC costs $38.50, one CLEP exam, worth three credits, costs $37.00.

Many students use CLEP credit.s to waive entry-level requirements, allowing them. to place into advanced classes. "CLEP exams can replace intro·courses· or count as a general studies."

CLEP exams are administered every month. For more information, inquire at the Placement ,Office, in AD 3

.Dr. Ferre Co-Authors Articles

by Betty Hecht

Dr. Victor Ferre, PSC professor of education, has :recently had two articles he coauthored published in educa'tional journals.

One of the articles was entitled "Predicting Performance on the National Teacher Examination's Core Battery."

Ferre co-authored the article with Dr. Paul Egan, former ass.ociate professor of psychology at PSC.

From information gathered over a period of three years from 100 PSC students sampled, Ferre and Egan compared ACT and NTE

(National Teacher Examination) scores and determined a correlation between the two scores of general knowledge.

"From the students entering ACT scores, we were able to predict the student's NTE, score four years later upon graduation from college with almost 90 percent· accuracy," said Ferre.

Ferre had a second article published in 1989 in the Perceptual and Motor Skills Journal. The article was entitled "Learning Disabled Students' PerformanC'e on Visual ··and Auditory Spelling Tests." Ferre c9-authored the

article with his wife -Louise of the Nebraska Educational Service Unit No. 4.

The article concluded that among those students diagnosed as learning disabled there was no significant difference between scores received on visual and auditory spelling: tests.

The groups will be judged on vocal.and visual abilities. which include musician ship, choreography, stage appearance and overall effect. Each group will get 25 minutes to perform, and then a clinician will work with the swing choir to make any suggestions on how they could improve.

There will be one trop.hy awarded to the best group from each class.

Dr. Ediger stated, "Emphasis is to help the groups get better, since it is so early in the year."

The co-sponsor of the event , are the PSC Music Department and the MENC Chapter at PSC.

Since that time, the venerable building has served as home to PSC:'s two largest acc;idemic programs-- business and teacher educatior ,.. and other departments.

The Nebraska legislature approved the $2 million renovation project in 1987, and the majority of the work was completed last spring. PSC has been using the facility since the start of summer school.

Policy In Effect

The random smoking of cigarettes in PSC state b'uildings is no longer acceptable. The Academic Affairs Committee decided and for many reasons that there will be a policy that started this 1989-90 fall semester. The reasons for the new policy are for health, comfort, and the 'environment of the students, staff, and guests.

Though the policy does not apply to ·dormatories, it does apply to all other state buildings such as the Science building, the Fine Arts building, T.J. Majors, the library, the I.A. b\,lilding, and the Administra-

tion building. There are places that people can smoke. There is the T. V. lounge and Bob Inn in the student center, the lobby area of the A.W.A.C. and the break room of the physical plant.

According to the written smoking policy it is the. responsibility of the building supervisors, and other supervisory personnel to monitor compliance with, and administering appropriate disciplinary action to those students and employees who violate this policy. All consequences are located in the PSC student handbook.

An additional new service is a credit class entitled College 400, Career Strategies. This class covers all areas of job hunting including selfevaluation, research, marketing of one's self, interviews and legal issues. The class is a one hour credit course for juniors and seniors.

The placement office can help students find work while attending school or during the s.Jmmer months. Internships are also available. Various required tests for different majors are offered through the office. These include the NTE. the PPST and the i'JiA T among others.

Cats Climb To 15 Spot

Marching Put Pep in Home

by Amy Snyder·

This season the Bobcat football team has got it all together.

They've got a· strong line, an agile , quarterback and ari outstanding kicking game. Oh, and there's one more thing, they've got a pep band that will bring you to your knees !

Complete with a flag. corps, this ye;:ir's Marching Bobcats are building an image that will, rock the Oak Bowl for years to come.

Decked out in uniforms of blue, the band has left it's mark· across the area. Its performances in both the Apple Jack and Homecoming parades and halftime shows have gotten people's attention.

While sitting at the Apple

Jack game, overheard a number of comments that resembled my own disbelief.

"ls that Peru's band? Arei you sure? I know they have P's on their suits, but you can't count the members on your hands. And I can hear them clearly way up here. They must be imposters."

But imposters .they are not. These Peru State students can play a rendition of the school song that finds even the most reserved spectator up and clapping.

The discipline is obvious. On the street or on the field, they· move together like a finely tuned machine. Practice and made near-perfection.

Out of the ranks, however, and half out of uniform, PSC's musicians provide one of the

most er:iergetic pep clubs kri,pwn to small college football. They cheer, they sing, they harass,. and they have a lot of fun. (They also give the rest of us something to watch when the game gets boring.)

What more can I say? The PSC Marching Bobcats deserve a huge round of applause for their talent, their size. their cheers and their jeers. It takes a lot of work to put all of that together and come o,ut successful, Alotofpeopledon't realize it, but a lot more people appreiciate it. ·

So the next time you see a football player, tell him good game, and the next time you see a band member, tell him good show. ,Because a game in the Oak Bowl wouldn't be the same without him.

Bradley Transforms the Bobcats

The Peru State Bobcats climbed five spots in the latest National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics ( NAIA) Divisjon II poll announced Monday afternoon.

The Bobcats, 5-1 following last Saturday's 24-17 upset of Chadron State, received 241 points to hold the No. 15 spot in the fifth rating of the season, released from the NAlA office in Kansas Oty, MO.

Chadron State, previously · unbeaten and No. 9, fell to 17th.

Two for.mer Bobcat oppon- "• ents moved up in the polls as well... Missouri Valley, 4-1, jumped from 10th to 8th while Nebrasf<a Wesleyan, also 4-1, climbed from 12th to 10th.

Westminster CPA) College, 5· 0, maintained the No. 1 .ranking for the fifth consecutive week

with 522 points.

The Bobcats also , lead in NAIA Division II scoring with a 48.6 average, and rank second overall in total with a 490.4 yard output.

Individually, halfback Mark Whitaker was ninth leading scorer in the nation with 10.80 average per game. He is a s0phomore from Inwood, NY.

Coach Tom Shea's Bobcats also received strong support from the kicking game. Ron Shaneyfelt was cited as the national leader in kick scoring with 47 points and a 9.40 a"'.erage while punter Chad Erickson, a sophomore from Emerson,\ IA, ranked second with 42.4.

Shaneyfelt, a sophomore from Millard South, has booted 29 of 30 point-after· attempts and 6 of 6 field goals.

Bradley, born in Madina N. Y attended Barringer High School in Newar:k N.J., where he "started his football career. "Although he can remember playing street football since he could walk, he did not play organized football until the tenth grade. '

'

Wesleyan game where he threw for 366 yards, he was in the top ten in the nation for ' passing in the NAIA Division II. The Bobcats destroyed Concordia and Midland all around so he was unable to stay in the top ten but with his last performances it looks as if he will be right bacl:< iA contention. Bradley credits a lot of his playing to his offense. He says "With the time that my line gives me I'm able to see the entire field and hit an open receiver, plus with the quickness of my backs coming out I'm able to hit one of them."

"He knows what"he is doing out there. 'Nate reads the defense, hits the open man, and is maturing into a premiere quarterback," said "receiver Gary Blair.

"I'm always comfortable with Ski as quarterback. He knows how to adjust after seeing the defense," said. running back Mark Whittaker.

"I feel very comfortable with Nate back there. He is a leader as well as "one of the best quarterbacks ttiat I have played with," said running back Scott Gerdes.

Bradley is a Psychology/ Sociology 'major, and 'fter attending PSC would like to go to graduate school somewhere on the east coast. ! also asked Bradley about some major influences in his life (thinking, some other great quarterbacks) and pe · credi'ted his parents as his major influence.

With three more games left in the season Bradley is confident on winning.but will not take any team lightly. It looks like the Bobcats are well on their way to tfie divisior:i playoffs.

An intervie·w with student coaches Ronde! Korbelick and Rod Olson revealed that despite a ·lack of depth, this year's squad has competed well with area teams.

While the competition has tended to play a group of more .experienced players. the coaches felt it necessary to concentrate on the lower classmen.

"Our J-V program is set up for the kids wh,o don't play varsity," Olson commented. "In order to keep interest in our program, we.havetogivethem a shot, a chance to show their stuff."

Like any junior varsity program, the ultimate goal is to build .for the future. Korbelik believes that PSC's players have th.e skills to fill in well at the varsity level.

"Our defense has been shutting pepple down. You don't see too many youn9 teams with this kind of talent."

Dave Foster, Louie Lantz and Jack Perkins have been leading the teams' solid defense effort. After three games they have totalled 24, 19 and 19 tackles respectively.

Olson believes that the offensive\ squad also has a sense of maturity. "Our offensive line has been a surprise. They are extremely consistent, hard working and well disciplined for guys their age."

Leading the offensive effort has been freshman quarter· back Adam Ker:r. Kerr has completed 49 out of 85 attempted passes for a total of 731 yards over three games.

Receiving standards have

been set by Ted Riley who. has compileda 104.Yyardpergame average and Terry Golden with an _88. 7 yard average per game.

Sam Pfeifer ,tops out J-V rushing with. a 'per game · average of 42.7

Although the team has no specific J·V practice time, the coaches have been pleased with the results. Korbelik said, "For ,the time we have to prep.are for the J-V games, they are doing a 'tremendous job."

Injury and illness have recently plagued the team, but Olson hopes that a rapid recovery will allow the team to play a few more games. Even if they only play one or two more, he· believes that his season's experience has been helpful for everyone involved.

Olson and Korbelik said. "We (student assistants) really appreciate this responsibility. lt has been a great opportunity for us and the'players."

"This truly is a unique day. lt exe,mplifies the revitalization of our campus,'' said PSC Pre,sident Jerry Gallentine, as he· began the rededication program of the T.J.

The culmination came with the· program at 11 a.m followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony· to officially celebrate the rededication of the 73-year-old building. Faculty, students. and those directly and indirectly involved in the project came together to recognize contributions. thank you's and well wishes.

According to Lovell. a 1985 tour of T:J. Majors left her with an appalled feeling. Something needed to be done. because "60 percent of the hours produced at this college are from this building."

Senator Lowell Johnson spoke of the renovation as "truly making something old very new. It will serve the current and future needs of the campus."

Former Governor Robert Crosby read a letter from Governor Kay Orr. who .could not aherjd the event.

"The building needed tc. be updated to meet the fufure needs of education," said Janssen.

She also went on to Gite improvements in the environment: temperature control, better lighting, and handicapped accessibility.

"Atmosphere does make a difference," Janssen said.

"Tax payers got much more for their money than to build a new building," said Lewellen.

Lewellen summed up his thoughts with a correlation between T.J. Majors and the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal means the best of building. Both have the same initials TJM.

The Visiting Scholar Program, according to Ken't Propst, director of college advancement, is a program focused on former PSC scholars or people tie,d to the Peru community who have gone on to national or i.nternational acclaim.

Psc to ask Legislature For More Faculty & Funds

An effort to convince the Nebraska legislature ·of the need for more faculty and funds at PSC wiB be mounted due to action taken at the October meeting of the state college go;verning board.

The Nebraska legislature will · be asked to once again approve some $86,000 to add faculty members in communications and natural science, and $30,000 in instructional i equipment funds.

Those funds were approved ; by the 1989 state legislature. 1 .but were later vetoed by the · governor.

i, Trustees also approved a I plan for an $86.000 "emergency request" for two

additional faculty positions at PSC. The legislature will be asked tq consider funding the positions due to the rapid growth of the college.

PSC was also authorized to seek an additional $300,000 from the legislature to implement the first phase of the wood/biomass gasification plant. The-·college has already been earmarked for $500,000 in Exxon 'Corp. oil overcharge funds, but that figure isn't sufficient to get the project underway.

Students Comment On Art Gallery

Dear Editor,

We Hke to express our disgust over the article appearing on page 2 of the Qet. 13 issue. ln;,the article

Cathie English manages to take a positive addition to PSC and turn it into a controversial issue.

Her article centered on the new art gallery being constructed in room? 104105 of the Fine Arts.J;>uilding. Her arguing points are the loss of first floor classrooms for handicapped students, lack of office space and disregard for faculty and student input.

First we want to say that we have heard only positive commeots about the new gallery. The idea for the gallery has been thought about for three years. Our first· year here in 1986 the entire art department consisted of three classrooms and two offices in the F.A. building. Between semesters the art department moved to the vacant basement of the old gym leaving the 2 offices and 3 classrooms vacant with the intention of using some of the vacated space for a gallery. Even with the gallery occupying 2 rooms. the Fine Arts still gained two Offices occupied · by Dr. Davis and Dr. Holtz and one classroom. now Julia Perry's office.

AU the work done to convert the gym into an a·r:t center (painting, carpentry.

buifding studios. etc.) was done by the art students and professors. Again this year students· and faculty' are volunteering their time on the gallery. Due to this the· cost will be less than half the original estimated cost.

Yes, the handicapped (and non-handicapped) students will loose two first floor classrooms but gain one easily accessible cultural center. The condition of the handicapped elevator is the responsibility of maintenance, not of the gallery.

As far as office space i goes. as ml:!ntioned before, there is more office space now that the art department has moved. If the gallery wasn't r:noving in would those classrooms be made into offices anyway?

We don't believe there was a disregard for students and faculty input concerning the location of the gallery. What more fitting place than the Fine Arts building?

Cathie English does state that the gallery will be the display site for the T.J. Ma.ior·s Competitive Ar:-t Program. an art competition with entries pouring in from as far as Boston. Mass. She also says it may draw artists from across the country, but she neglects to mention our very own art students.

The gallery will .serve as a place for poetry readings and small musical groups.

Do a Little--Give Blood

by Amber Faery

degree from PSC every senior stode.nt must have an art exhibit.

Previously the work was displayed in the cases io the Fine Arts, but they couldn't accomodate ·sculptures or large. works. Now the art students will have an appropriate atmosphere in which to display their work. This will provide· a .£flore professional image for the students and the school.

Peru has an excellent art program. We both feel it exceeds that of UNLin many ways. In our three years here we have seen the art program grow rapidly and have noticed as the facilities improve so does the student work and spirit. It wouldn't surprise us if in the future Peru attracts many more studeqts to join in it's progressive art program. We hope you attend the gallery opening, it will speak for itself.

' EDITOR'S COMMENT: We feel this is a good letter and we printed it in its entirety as requested. However. we would like to· remind all writer!? that we reserve the right to edit all letters to the Editor. Alsa we would like to welcome a new staff member to our team. His name is Chris Selby. He has taken the position of staff photographer.

t. have always wanted to help society in my own way. I can't do very much. bl)t I can do a little-.:1 can give blood.

On Thurs., Oct. 12, I went to the Live .Oak Room ln the Student Center where the Bloodmobile was located.

I had never given blood before. so. I was extremely nervous! After going through the procedures of confirming mybfoodforuse, lwasready. I have to admit that it did hurt a little, but my nurse helped me immensely by talking the entire time. It kept my mind off what was happening.

After it was all over. the Bloodmobile volunteers made

.me stay and eat cookil?s··they were very good and drink liquids. This .made me slightly angry becaµse: l was ready to leave ! I am thankful now that th'ey did this. because even after they finally 1et' 11e go, I felt dizzy and had to go home and rest. I wonder if I would have even made it home if I had left the. building right away. Looking. back on the experience, I realize that what I did. a.good thing. It may have hurt, I may have been dizzy, and I may have had a sore arm, but it was all worth it. The blood they took from me will help someone else. My blood might even save someone's life.

THE PERU STATE TIMES

'Quick Answer To National Drug Problem

"Quick fix.''. It's an expression which was born with drug use and the drug trade. In that context it referred to a junkie who, in his self-delusion, was trying to "fix" himself quickly with an injection of heroin.

Nowadays, however, the expression is usually used in a wider context. It refers to somebody or something trying to "fix" a problem, any problem,. Unfortunately, the "fix" is usually shortsighted or selfdeluded.

Undoubtedly, many of the users are disenfranchised people, often. from minority groups, who see little hope of making their way in the workaday world. Born into poverty and the crime-ridden area.s of our cities, they are often undereducated and. therefore, underemployed. They may turn to drugs as a

or accountant who has wasted his livelihood and, sometimes, his life ·on illegal drugs. And. again, we've got to ask, "Why?"

For it's ironic 'that in a .time when many of us are so. materially successful and comfortable that we're· disemboweled b)t this struggle.

So we might ask ourselves, in. what ways is our society different from what it was 20. 15 or even 10 years ago? ·

Undoubtedly there are a number of differences, but one thatjumps to mind when I think of the problem with drugs is the disintegration of the family.

America has more oneparent families now than it has ever had, particularly among minority groups. The crumbling of the family; however, certainly is not limited to minorities. as divorce rates hover at or above. 50 percent for Americans in general. means to escape or as a means to· thumb their noses at a Moreover, we now have more families where both parents society t!;lat has neglected· them. work outside the home than at any other time in otir history.

We have ski trips to Aspen, gambling trips to Vegas and myriads of other weekend By and large we have excitement and escape galore.

Yet, for some reason, some people still want more. For whet are drugs but a means of escape, a quick fix. an extra dose of excitement? And if this rapid-fire. materialistic world that we've worked so hard to crea·te. is so great, then why ·i!lre so many turning on and tuning out?

Dan Holtz

And I wonder if our nation's response to the drug trade. no matter how much money, time and bureaucracy it involves, isn't, in its olA(n way, shortsighted. The sens21tional elements of the situation--the gangs. the murders. the millionaire drug dealers-receive so much attention that I wonder if we as a nation aren't focusing too much 'attention at the wrong end.

The simple fact exists that if there vyasn't such a demand for drugs we wouldn't have a problem with drugs. Why in a nation that is as rich,

In that their rebellion or their indifference is largely ·· Why s.troke as· society that has sl.;ipped you in' the face?

Much more puzzling, however, is the great number bf users who don't necessarily fall into this category.

So I suggest once again that maybe we are paying too much attention to the wrong end of the problem. Criminals run the drug trade. but armies of Americans commit crimes against themselves daily, when they look for some illusjve answer in the guise of Illegal drugs.

"Children /.ieed stability emotionally,as well as ma'tf!rially, and our society, in too ..;Jany.cases, simply isn't giving it to them." '

According to the official report' materially, and (;ur society, in on President Bush's National ,too many cases, simply isn't Drug Control Strategy, most' giving it tb them. drug users are 18 to 40 years

"I want to make a ence." This is one of Sheri Matson.'.s reasons for return'1ng to college after starting a family.

Although whi.le in high school Sheri thought she WOL!ld never wa.nt to be a teacher. she is now a junior at PSC majoring in« Special Education/Elementary Education.

Sheri changed her mind about teaching·after developing a new awareness of· the need for teachers who care more about the students than. the teaching job.

Sheri's an:=wer \/Vas, "I want to do everything l can to promote my daughter's education and life experience."

Sheri has found help at PSC. Her co-education students ali want to be teachers concerned with the future, of their students.

Sheri started her education at Kansas State University. After her freshman year she left school and married Jeff Matson. now a business man in Sabetha. KS. A year later she ·had her ·daughter and began thinking more about the future.

Although Sheri find.s many problems in dealing with the Sheri said, "Education is at responsibilities of being a wife. the centerof our society, We mother and commuting need our people to be student, shEl, enjoys attending educated. Our children are our· PSC. future."

According to Glockel, the inter.views have var:ied. While some intervi.evirs were conversational in the way they asked their questions. others. seemed to drill the questions.

Great-Grandmother Goes For A Diploma

Sitting at home in her crocheted slippers, rocking in her favor'ite rocking chalr knitting mittens and scarves for her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren may be the description of a typical 72yea r-old woman. but not that of Marge Ely.

It's true that Marge has chil.dren. grandchildren and even a great-grandchild. but she still doesn't quit<f fit this description.

birthday,' l decided it was now or never." So Marge headed to Peru in the summer of 1987 and registered for classes.

When Marge decided to return to college almost. 55yea rs after she graduated from high school, she said, "I couldn't have done it without my husband's support." Marge has been happily married forfi 1 years.

Marge found it easy to fit in at PSC. "lt'sgreathere. lhadn6 problem at all.. l like 'au the people here. They make me feel like I really belong."

No ma·tte r how muc:h homework Marge has or how many tests she has to cram for. she says she never gets·

discouraged. ''l can only do the best I can do," she commented.

Marge wanted to finish· college mainly for selfsatisfaction. She always wanted to graduate but is just now getting time for it. When she gets her diploma; she plans ·on "framing it and it on the· vyall."

The only thing she doesn't like about her return to school is being called a "non-traditional student". "There's nothing "non" about it. It's more like a returning student." she said. She feels the term nontraditional 9ives a negative reference, and she ,,ays there's nothing negative about it. even at age· 72.

· PSC will soon have a new art gallery. '

The gallery. which will be in the Jindra Fine Arts building in rooms t 04 and 105, has been in the ptanning stage for three years and will be completed by Nov. 2, which is the date of the first exhibition,.

··Mr. Ken Anderson, associate professor of art, said. the gallery will be "used for a • teaching tool where students will be able to study .actual works of art for content and styles.".

Labor for construction, according. to Anderson, was donated by art faculty and student volunteers. "We felt

that it's worth our time to the money that was to purchase the lights. carpet, and wall coverings rather than to goto salary. so··we donated our time."

ThE? gallery also has $16.000 to purchase art, This $16,000 came from the T.J. Majors project through a sta 1 e law that states that any building over $500,000 has to have 1 percent of it's total cost go toward the purchase of art. , In the future. the gallery will have shovys every five weeks and senior and ·faculty exhibitions once a year.

The public is encouraged to come and enjoy the rn :w galler1 and its artwork.

Build Ori Strong Base .•.

Davidson Believes Lady Cats Tough

by Amy Snyder Head Women's Basketball

Coach Wayne Davidson believes that his '89-90 team is going to be tough, · ·

After losing a talented group of seniors la:St year. he realizes that most area teams are looking for PSC tu be in a rebuilding situati<m. He states. however. that this is not the case.

"We return three people this year that have started for the past two to three Liz Jessen, Carrie Menges and Marsha Stevens are providing us with a strong base on which we can l;>uild," Davidson said.

The Lady Cats · find themselves with eight returning players and one junior college transfer. Other spots are being filled by a t'reshman class of ten, the result of an outstanding recruiting year.

Looking to key on his three

returning post.s; Davidson stated that the team will emphasize a much stronger inside game than in the past. He was also pleased to note that with several sophomore and .transfer guards, "We'll be as quick as we've been."

Still concentr.ating on upcoming scrimmages, the · squad realizes that season play is just around.the corner. With this in mind. they've set some goals that they · intend to achieve in every contest.

Primarily, the team is looking to be very strong in both offensiVe and c:fefensive rebounding. Offensively, according.to Davidson they will attempt to explore all for fast breakinq. In the event that a fast break segment fails, patience will be emphasized so that ball movement and floor ·balance can be achieved.

Looking down the schedule,

Davidson pointed out that· some of the better teams come from right around:.this area Doane Cpllege will be returning the most' vete.rans, and both Midland College .and Hastings wilf be coming with good ·teams. He also cited Kearney State. saying that they have had qne Of their:best recruiting seasons in the history of women's basketball.

In closing. Davidson that his team may catch a few people by surprise.

"We do have spme younger players, but with a blend of experience. We're trying to put the' new players into our system and see that they fulfill the jelling process. With this combination we anticipate a solid season."

The season opens Nov. 14. when the Lady Cats host Central Methodist.

Ladies 'Man' the Line ·well In Co-Ed Flag Football

by Amy Snyder

Football. They say it's a man's sport.

Now I'm not sure who they are, but they've obviously never seen a gameofco-edflag football at PSC.

On the sµrtace it looks typical enough.

Prior to. the kickoff. the girls are instructed as io what role they will play in the course of the game. Secure in .the fact that they will contribute very little, they listen patiently, Politely agree and continue on with conversation of the days' activities. Seemingly unaffected by the upcoming challenge, they together at one end of the field and exchange stories ·concernio9 how much they don't know about the game. Fingernail lengths are checked. and rules. are bri.efhy reviewed.

It is during this time that the guys .on the team choose to throw. catch and kick the ball in every imaginable fashion. Crucial plays are.i:-elived. and at least five pseudo Super BoX1111s are won. Despite the tack of professional experience, these guys are experts. For the time being, their confidence is high.

only way to score.

It is at this time that some invisible force turns PSC girls into women of the grid iron. All fingernails aside, blocks are thrown, passes are caught and touchdowns are made. As a matter of fact, some of them play dow.n right mean.

I thi.nk it's safe to say that most of the guys are surprised at the way their female dassmatescanplay. Caughtup in the excitement of competition, it becomes easy to forget which gender is supposed to be

the pros.

Many of you may not believe this, but we've got some. se.rious, untapped talent.on th ts campus. Given a little' respect and a chance to do their thing, there are some girls who know how to do more' than just polish their nails. '

Football. They say it's a mans' sport.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, they can keep it. But if they · need any help, I knowjust th"( girls to call on.

Riley's Game Is 'Specia}

Cornelius Riley isn't just the second-leading tackl.er oh the PSC football team; he's also 'Mr. Special Teams'.

Riley, a 6-1, 180 pounder, blockea the second attemptby Northwestern's Chris Fisher back 22 yards into the end zone where' it •yvas recovered by defensive end Reggie R!r'ld· olph. The td'bf;hdown gave tAe Bobcats a 13-0 lead with 9:06 left in the operilT>.Q quarter.

Lady Cats Bounce Back

Improvement This has been the key word for the Lady Bobcats as they bounced back from a Joss to Kearney State to do well in the Nebraska Wesleyan lnvitat'1onal.

After a los,i ti;:, Kearr1ey State on Oct. 18. the Lady Cat:s went:" on to improve their season record to 11-16 with'4 wins and 1 loss at he Nebrask<:J. Wesleyan fnvitational in Uncoln on Oct. 2021.

The Lady Cats <;iefeated Chadron State (15-1 1, 15-7). College of St. Mar.y (9-15, 15"4). Dordt College (15-4, 16-14), and of St Mary for the second tir r 1e with scores of C1614, 5-15. 15-10).

They ldst to Midland-Lutheran ( 15-14. 15-8) in the quarterfinals, to take fifth place in the tournament.

Cats ·Dominate Westmar

The PSC football team continued their first-quarter dominance. Oct. 21 by p6wedng to a 28-0 lead oft the way to a 52-14 win over Westmar at LeMars, IA.

Nate Bradley had another fine game, passing fora school record 289 yards and four touchdowns.

With the first quarter thrashing of Westma'r. the Bobcats have outscored their opponents 1 38-23 in the firs.t

period. More importantly the victory guaranteed the Cats at least a tie for the Tri-State Conference title.

PSC's first scoring drive went 76 yards on eight plays with Scott Gerdes plunging the final yard with 12:41 remaining in the first quarter. Mark Whitaker also had a good day. catching scoring tosses of 65 and 6 yards and running 40 yards for another TD.

Unexpectedly, howeve.r, it i.s announced that a guy cannot pull a girl's flag, and that a guy cannot throw to another guy. A crucial blow.

Panic. The girl's will have to pass and receive. Panic. They will have to run with the qall. Severe panic. They will have to score.

The teams reset their strategies, and the contest· begins. Afraid at first to utilize their female talent, both teams gain little yardage. As the game moves along, it becomes evident that allowing the girls to actively participate is the

Student, Bill of Not An'Obligation, a.ls.o a Rallying Point

by Spencer Davis

Since I have assisted in dra · ing the proposed Student Bill of Rights, l was naturally dismayed to see the editor of the Peru Times attack the very motion of a Studeht Bill of Rights. But Per:sonal feelings are inconsequential compared to the fact that the arguments presented in the editorial are entirely insufficient tq support the editor's case.

Part of the editorial consists of ad hominem abuse, which may be emotibnallY satisfying but is logically of no value. Even as personal abuse it is too implausible to be effectfve--accqsing PSC students of Olympian airs just isn't a believable insult.

The second part of the edit9rial is an analogy. To be legitimate. an analogy must present at! the relevant points of similarity and all the relevant points of contrast between the two objects of the analogy. This analogy has not been carried out, The motion of a cdntract, developed to its full scope. supports the con'cept of a· Student Bill of Rights rathefthan underminil1g i.t.

Students signing for classes are not really in the position of a pi;zza making a single transaction with no long-term consequences;· Tl;le studentis signing up fora coursiathatispartof a degree program and is making a decision with. many long-range consequenceis. The c<?ns'umer purchasing pi;zza .can ch9ose from a. number of local .vendors or can choose one of many substitute.s for pizzas. In this area PSC is for many the only available provider of baccalaureate edU<;ation.

Pizzct is ayailable from a private seictor entrepreneur. PSC credit hours are generated by a branch of the state of Nebraska. The pizza pays the fullprice of the pizz.a. The student pays a part'of the cost of the college course. The hypO:thE;?tical pizza customer is interested in the pizza and nothing else'. The c9llege student is dften interested In activities at a college beyond the courses such as (i:!xtra-curricldar activities .and intramural sports, clubs andorganizations. The pizza .:vstomer can put down his money and leave ;as soon as h.e pleases. The college stuc;lent will typjcally have to be on campus and use C:af1Jpus,facilities The.factual case for equating the educational process with shoving plzzas acrqss th.e c9unter isJust not very strong.

Cdnsidering all these points of difference,•college really .:anndt be compared to a one-shot commercial transaction. But if we think of "contract" in the wider sense of mutual obligations anc conelative rights, the concept of contract is.valuable; Wehave tb begfn by reco9hizing that the obligations of this institution extl;lnd far beyond just providing a quantum of credi.t hours--the college is committee{ to living vp :to its Mi55ion Stateme.nt; the college is committed.to conditions laid d.own by the NCA TE (National .Cduncil for Accreditation .of Teacher: Education) and North Central accrediting agencies; the St;a.te ofl')leb.raska and the federal government mandate many regulations; .BQard of Tnjstees' policies are farther coUege catalog is a commitment, The point of all these regulations is t() provide students an opportunity to achieve an education of real benefit. It is a.convenience to s1..1mmarizethe existing obligations of the college in the fqrr-i of a Student Bill of Rights. Surely there is improper in.alerting students to their existing. ' ,

In another sense .a Student Bill of Rights is more than a useful summary of the existing obli9atii::ms 9f the college to its students. It is an initiative'. a possible rallying point for the students who want to insist upon a quality education at PSC I would hope that.the editor ofthe Peru Times would contribute to· this process by helping refine a student bill of rights rather th.an rushing fo the arbitrary sway C)f the administration.

Now I know that this editorial may do very little in changing a · commuters' parking .habits or in settling the stomach of anyone who. lives in Delzell or Morgan if they're forced to park their cars up at the complex.

Dear Editor:

Last August those PSC students who are on the plan laid out cash somewhere between $610 and $490 for the right to be dn the 20-15 or 10mealplan.

The management of American Food takes this expenditure seriously. We know that each bf. you or your parents worked very ha rd for that amount of money. or if you had to borrow through student aid. you will ha-,;,e to pay that. a.mou;,t back with interest.

We know .you have the right to expect and demand the best possible service and product for that price The management of American Food. pledge to you that we intend to provide you with qur 'service and product in the very best way we know.

We know that at times this semester all has riot always been as you might have expected or desired. We apologize for that! But, we are j:;rying our ,very best to get the rough spots straightened out. We will not be satisfied until thfs is done.

Dear Editor:

To dispel unrealistic expectations, may we point out the actual price we at American Food get for each meal breaks down to $1.34 per student. For that price.

American Food must furnish you a l I th e en tree s vegetables, dessert13 and beverages you can eat or drink. Please keep that price in mind as you judge our 'meals.

We are riot suggesting· that the above price is an excuse for us to run out of food or beverage at any meal. But we are sayirig that we can not Pl;;flvide you the same meals you may have enjoyed at home when price and cost was not·; so restrictive or the same meal that you may be able to get at a restaurant for considerably more money.

Our pledge is to keep improving until you and we agree that for the price you pay you are getting the best possible service and product available.

' In the Peru State Times editorial in the Oct. 27 issue, the contributing editor seemed to jump to. a conclusio.n without taking her sunglasses off.

For example, doesn't the editorial's autf1orthinl$ tne stu,dents of PSC deserve an updated catalog? The current catalog lists several courses that are no longer being offered. How can students structure their curriculum with non-existantcourses?

In addition. many mutually necessary courses in certain fields within the same departments have conflicting times. Many of these courses are only offered every other year, making it nearly impossible at times for students to keep their,educ9tion on a prompt schedule, This would all be covered by the· proposed Student Bill of Rights.

The proposed Bill of Rights would give the.students of PSC the right to expand their education through a wide variety of intellectual, cultural and extra-curricular activities. This is a valuable part of the educational system here at Peru. ln the editorial, the author said that "'students are here for the.sole purpose of receiving an education." lt is the opinion of many on campus that the intellect.ual. cultural and extracurricular activities are an important part of this education.

The founding fathers• of th.e -United States wrote the and the Bill of Rights as a guideline for the general populace. State and local government, clubs, organizations and the proposed Students BBi of Rights all use this guideline as a basis for their individual. bylaws and rules.

Don't the students of PSC deserve a Bill of Rights tailored to their particular needs?

Irritations Lead to Stressful Moments

by Betty Hecht nothing common about the off and on. Machine triumphs • I expected changes in my life when J decided.to go to college, r knew that there would be deadlines, exams .and stress. But, I expected all the little irritations that I've encountered.

Of course, I expected to study and to take examinations over 'the material that was prese.nted. But. have you ever noticed the nymber of times a good movie is scheduled the night before a major exam?

One of the major irritants of Fall is courtesy of Mother Nature, This.airborne assailant makes it appearance whenever the need for concentration is at its height. This tiny, buzzing Kamikaze takes great delight in doing loop-the-loops in the immediate vicinity of your face and head when you're trying to study for an•exam or finish a five page paper. There

and is supposed to deliver a product upon insertion of the proper.rehange. Some of these dispensers are even supposed to•give change. Yet, how many times have' you been the victim of one of these arm-less ba'l!dits? This becomes a primary source of stress especially when I'm in the first stage of withdrawal symptoms from lack of caffeine.

Honorary Inducts New Members

Ten Peru State Co.liege students were inducted into the national horiorary education fraternity Kappa Delta Pi this year. said Dave Jensen, sponsor of the PSC chaptec of Kappa Delta Pi.

The organization is open to juniors Who rank in the upper fourth of their class and who plan to enter the field of teaching after graduation.

Five of the inductees will serve as officers for the coming year. Jensen said. They include Betty Hecht, Becky Huppert, vice-president; Lori Broady, secretary; Bernice Patterson, treasurer; and Sharon Wuertz.

historian::· New inducteed include Lori Broady, a junior social science major, Betty Hecht, a junior language arts major; Becky Huppert, a junior mathematics majpr; Dawn Johnson. a senior language arts and English major; Sheri Matson, a junior elementary and, special ed,ucaton major; Mark McQuire, a junior physical science major; Bernice Patterson, 2 senior art major; Cynthia Studer, a junior elementary education major; Alan Veraecke, a senior math and physical science major; and Sharon Wuertz, a junior elementary and special education major.

Yes, it is difficult to escape the minor irritations of college life. Even those trips home can be stressful. Jt appears that the Highway Patrol has a copy ·of the college calendar, because every weekend and holiday break, you'll find one of their units set up somewhere to catch the unsuspecting,' homewa bound college/ student. As .a commuter, I am especially aware of this phenomenon.

Having a couple of semesters of tl'1ese continuous minor irritations, I look forward graduation 9nd less stressflJI ·existence in the real world.

Party to be Hosted for Graduates

A graduation party is being planned to honor • the December 1989 graduates. The event is to be held Thur Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. in the Burr Oak Room of the Student Center.

The PSC Placement Office is hosting the event. Al! seniors are invited to attend to wish their classmates success and congratula· tions. Faculty, friends, and family are all welcome.

Linda Warren, Placement ·Director, hopes the reception will become an annual event. She said, "Most December graduates return in May .for the ceremonies. but others do not. It would be a letdown to take .your last test and walk away without· a g.ood-bye from this institution. We would like to give these people one last for all their har·d work."

He said it•• was helpful b.ecause he could be empathetic with the black people. "It .was also helpful in dealing with the Afrikaan speaking people. many of whom were also from .a· rural background."

While he was ambassador, Edmonson said. he insistedthat his officers stick to the facts, By sticking to the facts, he said, there would be no use.of terms that would destroy the possibilities of negotiations. He said thathe wanted his officers to use "nouns instead of adjectives," because the nouns or facts speak for themselves.

Edmondson's career in 1nternational affairs resulted from a decision to take the foreign service exam instead of the civil service exc;im. He said. many of his colleagues. were assigned to positions in western Europe, but he felt challenge.d by his first assignment in Dar es Salaam. Tanganyika. Even though he has traveled all over the world in his career. Edmondson S<;:tid that his biggest limitation was the lack of for:eign languages. "Many .of my colleagues f1ave a vast range of linguistic lie sa,id: "I would. have had a Wider range in the foreign service if l would have hand ,more linguistic ability."

After talking t<;> a student of Dr.' Thomas Ediger, associate professor of music, Doug attended a Recruiting Fair at PSC. liked what he saw and decided to attend the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

Last Minute Heroics Lift ·Baker Univ. Over Bobcats

by Richard Layson

When I watched the Nebraska-Colorado game earlier this month, I thought I had seen the most exciting football game of my life, but for those of you that witnessed the Peru StateBaker game you know I was obviously'wrong.

The Bobcats hosted the Wildcats of Baker University for the first round divisional playoff game on Sat. that ended up in a disappointing 30-27 loss.

The 3, 183peoplethatsawthegamewatched Bakerconnect on two long passes to take Baker to a 14- 7 lead going into the second quarter'. •

In the second quarter, quarterback Nate Bradley was injured on a running play. bringing in backup (50) Jeff Ogden to lead the Bobcats to their next score and to cut Baker's lead to a 17-14 halftime deficit.

In the third quarter Peru was shutdown and Baker opened up to a 24-14 lead. Peru came alive in the fourth quarter scoring twice. Scott Gerdes exploded for 44 yards on a punt return to cut the lead, then with time running out Bradley hit (JR) Garriet Blaii:- to set up a James Jerry touchdown.

The crowd was growing impatient. The game clock stopped i continU.d on page 11

Overcoming the Gattas ... Learning to Daily Stress for Pe a k Pe r f o rm a ,n c e

Kriegel, Ph.D. --best selling author, former All-American athlete. and mental coach for Olympiq and worl? class athlet.es--lectures and consults with majorcorporations worldwide on peak perform?nce, leadership and strategies · for dealing with change. Kriegel took part in a natiorif:il tour. of college campuses sponsored by the makers of Nuprin Pain Reliever.

To :·emind you how to b€'. a peak performance thinker, ·Kriegel and the makE;?rs of : · • Nuprin have developed a : ' 'pocket coach' of tips for 'combating pressure and pain. For a free copy write to Nuprin, P.O. Box 14160, Baltimore, MD 21268.

The alarm sounds. "6 a.m. I've really gotta hustle. I've gotta finish that outline, talk to Professor Jones, stop by the lab, read 100 pages for my noon psych clai;;s and be at work at 3 p.m.

Today's college campuses are pressure cookers. In fact, the Nuprin Pain Report; the first national study on pain in American documented that more people 18-24 -suffer from stress and pain than any adult age group

As I've toured the country visiting college campuses, students tell me the most common causes of their stre5s are: too much to do, too little time; exams; money; relationships;

interviews: family and career choices.

Stress: Bad or Good?

So. get rid Qf stress. Right? Wrong.

Stress is neither good nor bad'. How you h.;:i.ndle it.can be Learning to make stress work for· you can help you / concentrate better and think more clearly under pressure •. have more energy, be more creative and make college more enjoyable.

But many of us handle stress poorly.

Some ·people pank: and .work too fast under stress'" Others procrastinate. Neither response is productive. and both are caused by what I caH "sabotage thinking"--common. reactions to stressful situations that work against rather than for you.

Two common types of sabotage thinking are "the gottas" and "the can'ts."

Gottas and Can'ts

Let's look at the and methods to overcome them.

The gottas usually occur when you think you have too much to do and too littlE:! time to do it: "I gotta study for two exams I gotta call financial aid about my loan I gotta get a date for Friday night "

Walls Fall for Germans;

by Olris Qienker t climbing up and· helping each ·other onto the wall. They were I witnessed something dancing and Most ineredible a couple of weeks importantly, there were smiles ago. I was watching "Good on everyone pictured·-smiles Morning America," and it was from ear to ear. their major topic of the day.

I wasn't born when it h.;:i.ppened. and I don't know all of the history concerning it, but I saw the joining of people to dance on it.

/.Young people. divided and political· factions joined to celebrate the fall of The Berlin Wall was opened after. East Gerrnany's de.cision· to lift travel restrictions on its people;

I can only imagine the exuberation and excitement the Berliners are feeling right now. However, I caught a glimpse of it ·because of the wonders of television.

It was like a city wide party

There was no East or West Berlin, only Berlin. People

The gottas make everythinq _seem harder than it really is. •You get into the panic zone, rushing to get it all done. You walk too fast. talk too fast, think too fast. write too fast, eat too fast. You can't concentrate or think· cleQrly. You make careless mistakes. blank out on exams and forget things you already know. Everything seems like a life or death proposition.

: I was talking to juniors at U"C Berkeley who had a bad case of the gottas about a forthcoming exam. "I gotta get an A." he said I asked what would happen if he didn't.

If I Don't Get An A .•.

"If I don't get an A, I won't keep up my 4.0 average. Then I'll never get into a really good graduate school, and then I won't get a topjob and then I'll never make a lot· of money "

By the end of his discourse. not getting an A on this test was akin to his life being ruined.

When he stopped and thought about what he'djost said-·that if he didn't ace this test his life would be down the tubes"·he started laughing, "I must be crazy."

He was not crazy, just not thinking clearly or realistically. Manyofusgetthatway under pressure. This type of

desperation thinking makes us overreact and causes panic. The cure is to shift from irrational to ratidnal thinking. Do a reality check. When you get the. ·gottas take a deep breath, exhale slowly and ask yourself, "What is the worst thing that could. possibly happen?"

"How likely is that to happen?"

···Not the Erid of the World ..• This type of reality thinking puts the gottas in perspective. Sure, not getting an A would be a·drag, but it wouldn't be the end of the world nor·would it land this A student in the ranks of the homeless.

there's always going to be things you gotta do.

Remembering Past

..•

Looking at past wins helps, too. After all, he already had a 4.0 average, and had done well on difficult ·exams before. Reminding himself of his past success on similar exams helped him, relax and restored his confidence.

Gaining control of your thinking will help to turn desperation reactions into peak performance actions. Learning this early in life wi_U l::>e invaluable in the future, because no matter what you do or· where you do it:,

HLittle. Sisters" 'Banned

CCPS)--After hearing reports of the fourth rape of the semester, University of Missouri at Columbia officials in mid-November banned alt "little sister" programs at campus fraternities.

"The environment surrounding the little sister program5. makes it mcire conducive.. for sexual abuse or alcohol abuse to occur," said Don Graham, Missouri's associate director of residential life. '

One victim is a little sister, and another had been invited to .become a little sister. Three of the rapes occurred during or af.ter fraternity parties.

Greek leaders say they are getting a bad rap.

"The rapes weren't because of the little sister program. Guys would have been drunk anyway and would have done it regardless of a party or not," said Julie ,A.ndersohn, president of Sigma Pi Little' 'Sister program.

Glass Menagerie Is A HeartbreaN

by Chris Denker

A drab and dreary apartment set in mid-1940's St. Louis is where we begin with Tennesse Williams' play The Glass Menagerie."

The Peru Players presented a spectacular rendition of the play Nov. 16-19, in the College Auditorium. ·

The play revolves around the Wingfield family. Amanda Wingfield is a mother who wants the best far her children, Tom and Laura, but instead she alienates herself from them.

Vicky Smith does a tr:emendous job as the interfering mother. She portrays a woman with southern ties through a believable accent.

Tom is a frustrated man. He works in a warehouse, but his desire is to write. His mother's constant nagging causes him to stay out late. He is often berated by Amanda, because he has many of the same traits as his father, who left them many years ago.

Andy Donow;in is brilliant as Tom. He makes the audience believe that Tom is not only a character but a real person. He conveys the feelings of a trapped man.

4manda worries even more about her cia\Jghter Laura, who possesses a physical defect that is exaggerated in her mind. This is coupled with the fact that she is extremely shy. The only thing that ls really important tdher is her glass menagerie. She constantly cleans and.cares for the gjass figurines.

Penny Gibbons shows usa frail young woman in Laura. Her nonverbal communication is fantastic. \Ne know who Laura is because of her facial expressions and physical movement.

Customized Textbooks Create Tension

may soon be buying "customized" <:e.xtbooks that might include bits and pieces from different books, sections of articles and even writing by their own professors if a new concept in.traduced by McGraw-Hill, the n;;ition's second-biggest college text publisher, catches on.

The concept would allow professors to design their own textbooks deleting unwanted chapters. and adding items such as personal notes, study guides and a syllabus.

'Textbooks," McGraw-hill chairman Joseph Dionne in announcing his project, "will never be the same."

McGraw-Hill's effort effectively would make "professor publishing" legal. Students and professoi:-s often create their owh texts, assembling parts of other peoples' work to .fit their classes, and then reproducing and binding them at campus copy shops.

Ho.wever, without pr'oper permission, the practice is illegal. The Association of American Publishers has sued Kinko's, a chain of copy slfops, charging the firm has. helped professors illegally reproduce copyrighted materials for their classes.

McGraw-Hill, on the other hand, woµld pay ' copyright hol.ders and, using software and typesetting technology developed for the company by Eastman-Kodak, prodqce

better-looking, more readable texts than the homemade, photocopied versions assembled on campus.

Under the plan, professors would scan a computerized data base for what materi9ls they wanted from an original text, study guides and supplements and related journal articles. They could then add their own class notes and syllabus to create their own book.

The firm says it can ship out the customized book--which would include a table of contents and be bound in a personalized cover--within 48 hours of receiving the order.

The price, claims Sanjeev Rao, senior marketing director, would be about the same as a regular textbook, no matter how few books a professor orders. Normally., publishers' prices drop on! y when bookstores order a lot of books.

McGraw-Hill would arrange all permissions and royalties for any copyrighted materials' used.

For next falls !)ilot program, only the supplements to one book--"Accounting: The Basis for Business Decisions" will be accessible.

Ultimately, McGraw-Hill hopes professors will be able to order custom books for any class in its data base.

"This is wna:t professors have tol,d us they want," Rao

"Most teachers and professors complain that they can never find a textbook that really meets their class needs properly," said L Mark Stone of Henry Ansbacher, Inc., a New York-based investment b.ank that specializes in media mergers. "This ability to custon::iize textbooks seems to. address that complaint."

Yet at least one professor complains it violates his sense of what a book is.

"Whoever came up with this has never read a book," said Peter Fritzsche, a history professor at the University of lllinois in Champaign. He called the idea, among other things, "obnoxious" and "disgusting.'.'

"Books are to be bought," he said, "not packaged."

On a campus of 15,000 students, he said, a different title might be needed for everv single selection. Maintaining an ample inventory wi ch out over- · ordering, carpenter said. would be.almost impossible.

Currently most textbooks that are overstocked can be returned to the publisher. Carpenter said, but it would probably be difficult to return a customized book, meaning stores would order the books that leave little or no room for changes in class size.

"If a professor decides to let five more students (than originally planned) into his class. they won't get books," ·carpenter predicted.

Faculty Students

by Betty Hechtand Elaine Henderson

The end of the semester 1 marks a milestone for PSC. It's the first semester when most of the full-time faculty have had only a 12-hour teaching load. Prior .t9 this semester. most of the full-time faculty had taught 15 more per semester.

ln practical terms, this means that a professor now teaches four threechour courses instead of five per semester or that a professor teaches three. three-hour courses and spends the additional three hours• in student instruction, such as directing plays or marching band.

The general feeling on the PSC campus by .the administration, faculty and students about this change is a positive one. The 12-hour load, which is

12-Hour Raise Questions

standard in the college teaching profession, according to most of the faculty and administration interviewed. will allow more faculty mqre time to prepare for classes. to meet individuallywith students for advising and to keep current in their field.

When commenting ;,,bout the. 12 hour load. Dr. Spencer Davis. associate professor of history, said, "On the surface, I think it's a matter of justice.

The 1 ;2-hour classroom teaching is a standard load. PSC is staying in step with other (similar) institutions." Dr. Jerry Hanson, chairman of the division of education ;and. psychology, a'greed saying, "NCATE ( Nationa.1 Council for Accreditation of Te;acher Education) calling for a 12 hour load is simply addressing those institutions which are not in the.

mainstream to get there."

Dr. Jerry Gallentine president of PSC, sees the 12 hour load as a benefit to the colle.ge. "It allows faculty members more time to prepare for their classes. It ;allows them more time to do scholarly activities. which translates into better course work. It allows more time to prepare and' do a better job of community service activities." In addition, the faculty will have more time · to spend on the ongoing pro1;ess of curriculum evalua- · i tio."l and monitoring of I pro;:irams. according to Dr. ! Hanson and Dr. Gallentine.

A concern raised by the 12hour load pertains to the decrease in ·classes offered. Jack Hamilton, assistant professor of business, said, Continued on Page 3

Cooperation Aims to Attract Employers.

Eight colleges in Nebraska have formed a consortium to atti;-act major c.ompanies to interview graduates: Bellevue, College of St. Mary; Concordia, Dana; Doane, Hastings, Midland and Peru.

Placement directors have found that empfoyers with limited recruiting budgets and limited recruiting time simply cannot get to all of the college campuses in Nebraska, even though employers are very interested in the quality of graduates from small schools. Furthermore. each school alone cannot. fill a slate of

candidates, thereby giving recruiters further evidence that they cannot afford to visit individual campuses.

Consequently, the placement directors from the eight colleges have approached (either in person or by phone) all the employers who interview at UNL. Thirty-five companies, to date. have expressed an interest in the consortium.

The interviews will be held in Omaha at College of St. Mary or in Lincoln at Southeast Community College. The interviews will follow a fivestep format.

To date two interviews have been scheduled. One is with State Farm Corporate Headquarters in Bloomington, IL , a company that has already been to Peru. The recruiter is a Peru grad, Boyd Marquardt. who suggested the idea for the consortium. Gndy Sayer, a 1988 graduate., is working at State Farm in the data processing department. Math majors and students with 12 hours in computer are to sign up.

Faculty Shortage Felt:

·Women/Minorities Needed

by Cathie English

PSC does not have an adequate representation of women or minority faculty, according to Vice President William Snyder. Faculty and students also feel there are not enough full-time instructors.

Dr. Snyder said he would like to have more women and minority faculty. He said, "We'd like to see a reasonable mix, but the reality is we don't get many applicants." He stated it is reasonably rare to get women applicants and even more rare to get minority applicants. Snyder asked, "How do you develop a strategy to attract women ,and minorities to a rural environment?''

Snyder.said at present he did not have a plan or strategy. but he hoped to develop one within.the next year.

Ms. Nancy Emerson, instructor of social work/sociology said, "We dori't have enough women instructors our Student Bill of Rights states that we need more women and minority faculty." Emerson said an institution cannot expand these ideas without a diver5e group of instructors. She also said.she thought the majority of women have been in education. "We pigeon-hole them into certain areas."

Two students commented that theilfaculty problem is not just a lack of women or minority faculty, but a lack of full-time faculty. Leland Lockard.junior. stated. "We.need more full-time professors. The student population is going up, so we need a better student-teacher ratio." BettV Hecht, a transfer student from Seneca, KS said that as a PSC English major she hasn't had a woman teacher yet.

Expanding Sports Means Adding Flavor

by Richard Layson II!

Why could'n't PSC's future be a great day on the courts, on the mat, around the track or even on the green?

Think about it. A high school senior or a student at another college saying to themselves, "Hey, Peru State College sounds like a great place to go. l me'3n not only do they offer a great education, but they also have a nationally ranked football team, and solid men's and women's basketball teams, women's volleyball and softball. and a great baseball program as well. But where's Peru, and I heard that PSC doesn't have that many students.

In my opinion the sports mentioned above are kind of like the four basic food groups. 'Everyone needs. them, but it's sure nice to have a Snickers once in awhile. What r mean by that is, tennis anyone? A trip around the track or a roll on the mat? I. mean wrestling. I'll give it to.you straight; I want a tennis team, and I've talked to

other students who would love for Peru to take on some new sports.

My objective in this article is ·to point out that J1'10re sports could increase the enrollment at PSC. .•

Peru has had track and wrestling in the past, but they just didn't work out. /The reason was the 9'tate had td cut back. You see athletics are paid for by the state; every department has. a budget. The state had to make a cut back in 1986 so the sport or sports that were not aba5ic food group got axed.

l spoke with Tom Shea, athletic director/football coach, and I asked about the possibility of some new sports. "It's an exceltent possibility." Track is what looks like a priority sport· Track and cross country need about 50-80 people fora good team. He also mentioned golf, and that other game. what's the name Agassi, no tennis. Alright tennis, the word (Peru tennis) 9lone is going to attract more students.

Nemaha County Considered

Enjoy Christmas Scenery

by Hank Behling.

What has to happen coach? "First off, there has to be interest." Well then that is up to us guys and girls; get interested. "You also have to look at competition. Is there going to be enough competition to play other schools." In getting sports, Peru may also -need to get new facilities. For example, ·we have an indoor track but no outdoor track. We would need to work something out with Auburn or Nebraska Oty. Cash flow is also a major consideration. First, we would need more money from the state, and we would need to hire more faculty as well.

To me, I don't like things too complex. What used to make serise to me before speaking with Tom Shea was more students, more money. Right. That may not be the case, but as far as I'm concerned, I'll buy my own little yellow fuzzy balls and see you on the courts.

Nuclear Dump Requires Several Tests

by Daw11 Waskowiak

Do you know what Nuckolls, Boyd and Nemaha counties all have in common? Well, if not, I'll fill you in.

U.S. Ecology wants to place a nuclear waste dump at one of the three locations named above. This might be a good idea for Nemaha county in that it will bdng in more people, because of more job opportµnities.

But, on the other hand, if the decision was made to place the dump in .Nemaha county and something ·would go wrong, a large 'liability suit could be brought against the state of Nebraska.

To this date there have been no decisions made about where the dump will be located. There are many sfudies that. have to be conducted before the decision of where to place the dump is made. Some of the tests that have to be completed are geological, hydrological and metorlogical tests on the earth and the air that are found at the locations. ·

The dump will be made of grade structure concrete, formed into cells, and those cells are where the waste will be placed. The grade of the waste placed in the cells will be grade A waste, which is the lowest radio active waste. Two other ciasses of radio active waste are Band C. Class C is the highest radio active. levE;!l of all three classes.

The dump would be active for a maximum of 30 YE!ars or until it reaches full capacity of five million cubic feet. Once the dump is full, or the 30years have run out, it is then covered with clay, sand and soil. The area will be fenced in and will not be used again. ·

Upgrade Lot Complex Parking Tr:uly an Experience

by Deanna K. Thorsland

Parking at a PSC parking lot is always a true adventure, but trying to drive through one of the lots without running into another car is a hazardous experience.

As I drive around the campus, I see cars parked bumper to bumper, and it isn't a pretty sight. The lots almost look like upgraded junk yards.

Take for instance the Centennial Complex's gravel parking lot; you ·know the one. It starts out as a bumpy mountain that eventually levels out into a confusion of gravel and randomly parked cars. No one knows just how to park. and consequently cars are hit or scratched when one tries to round1a comer. back out or park.

Now I know that some of the problem stems from the student l also happen to know that not everyone owns a small compact car. You can't fit a st1iP into a sardine as simple as that.

Okay, there are a lot otlstudents and faculty who will tell you there is not a problem with the Complex parking lot. These people have probably never reallyexperiericedwhatH:isliketocomeout the next morning only to fincta fresh scratch or. dent in your only form of transportation.

Instead of raising the parking permit rate to build a parking lot for commuter students who really don't use it, PSC should have utilized i.ts funds to .pave the Centennial parking lot with line markers so students would kno.w how and where to park. If you do not feel this is a realistic idea, just talk to some of the students who live at the complex. You'll get an earful.

What is the first thing you think 'bf when somebody says Christmas?

One thing many think of is receiving gifts. Young children to college age people are wondering what they will get. What will be under the· tree? A new toy that can perform several different tricks and empties Dad's wallet? Or will there be a dozen roses from your "Honey'?

Well I don't know what's under your tree. l do, howeve.r, l'.;now what's under Glenn Kirchhoff's. Glenn \s a retired 'man who Jives just nor;th of the Hwy 50 and Hwy 34 interchange. And what's under Mr. Kirchhoff's tree is his whole farmstead.

You see, Mr. Kirchhoff puts up lights all around his"farm. These lights cover more than just his house .and trees; they cover giant sculptures in the front yard too. Made out of junk metal and the sweat of Mr. Kirchhoff's brow are Wily E. Cdyote, the Road Runner, a dragon and a few others. These sculptures are lit in certain places to make them appear to be alive. ·

When I last talked with Mr. Kirchhoff, he said that his display might be a little smaller t;!lis year. He also noted that one of his neighbors, Kerby Drake has a good display this year.

Both"of these gentlemen have worked v. ·ry hard in creating their displays. There are also m:3ny other light displays around that area.

So, if you don't get your new toy or your dozen roses this year, take a spin by the Hwy 34 and Hwy 50 interchange. There's plenty of scenery for all to enjoy.

A person can no longer look at college as a solution to their need for training in their careers. (I say careers because it is estimated that a person will change careers seventimes before he or she retires.) Instead a person should be using their time in college to develop the skills needed for life-long learning. Some of these ideas can be seen in .the new general

Orie program which students interested in academic challenges should consider is the PSC Honors Program. This program is described in detail in the college catalog; but briefly it is a selection of courses created to stimulate thinking in new. areas arid perspectives. It begins with an interdiciplinary course, entitled 20th Century Issues. Students interested in further information on this program should contact Dr. Tony McCrann, the Honors coordinator.

l would like to·challenge all PSC students to get involved in all areas of can;ipus life. In short, be all that you can be at Peru and in your future.

Mrs. Crook made these comments in connection to a proposal written by the adjunct faculty at PSC. The proposal, endqrsed by the PSC fac;ulty association. would increase the flat rate pay of the acljuncts. This proposal was presented to Dr. Snyder, PSCvicepresident.

Dr. must now take up the proposal with Dr. Gallentine, PSC president, if somethiog is to be done.

12-Hour from 1

•:students do not think ·that it Cttie 12 hour load) is beneficial when .classes close up." Chei-yl Gilson; psychology I sociology area. "It increases the amount of time a student mus spend at PSC to get a degree in this area because of lack of faculty. It forces students .to take weekend classes, night classes and summer classes in addition to an already full schedule," said Gilson. The issue oflack of faculty fs· a concern. "Peru has grp,wn so much with Dr. Gallentine. and there haven't been instructors hirep for the increase in

students,'' said Dr. Long, professor of science. Dr. Davis also said that, "the school has had an enormous growth. (The) president needs to give (hiring of more) faculty his highest priority."

Dr. William Snyder, vice president at PSC. sees the hiring of additional adjuncts. however, as .;;· re.al possibility. since the funding is not available for the hiring of permanent full-time faculty.

So, while there is a need for the fecluction in faculty work loads, questions are raised about the needs of the students and PSC. With

increased growth in the student population and a decrease load by faculty, how will the students be able to get classes they need? Who is going to teach those classes? Exactly how big are classes going to. get if new faculty aren't hired? Are faculty workloads going to be increasfi!d by more independent st\!.idies? If so. where will. that time come from? Will the variety of non-elective courses be severly reduced causing gaps in the education of the students?

The acljunct faculty haven't had a pay increase since before 1984 said Mrs. crook. Their present flat rate is $300 per credit hour. If a particular teacher has a 12 credit hour per semester load, which is maximum, the salary"'' for the school year would only be $7,200. said Mrs. Crook.

Lady Cats . Split Games

by Amy Snyder

The Lady Bobcat basketball tea.m increased their record to 6 wins and 1 loss this past weekend with a pair of home court matches.

Hosting Dana College on Dec. 1, the PSC team soundly defeated their with a score of 64-48.

$enior Marcia Stevens came away with a team high 14 rebounds, while sophomore Michele Marschman added 9.

Stevens also lead in scoring with a total of 1 7 points. Second in scoring was Liz Jessen with 11

The following night the Lady Cats were defeated by

Sports ... Men's Basketball Ai·ms High

Simpson College. Things never quite came together for PSC, and the game ended in Simpson's favor, 63-60.

Stevens was out in front once again with 24 points, but rebounding was very evenly spread. Adding 14 rebounds each were Stevens, Carrie Menges and Liz Jessen

Ma.ry Miltenberger. Dawn. Carlson, Janelle Henderson and Menges were. each credited with two assists.

The PSC team will be on the road this week with games at Concordia and Doane. They will return to the AWAC on Dec. 9 to host Midland-Lutheran College. The contest begins at 2p.m.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Head Coach John Gibbs believes that this success is a direct result of two major strengths.

"Our kids have really played well together and worked very hard. There are teams in the area with better talent, but we are able to make up for any deficiencies by doing what we have to do to win."

"So far this season we've done an e,xcellent job of doing that."

Pressure Situations

If you've seen the Bobcats play, you may think this an understatement. You see.iJhe team is getting quite a reputation for their ability to come back from behind. Way behind, as the case was when

1 7 points with two minutes and 33 seconds left to beat Bellevue College and become the 1989championsofthe Peru State Tournament.

According to Gibbs, the team spends a lot of time practicin!J just those types of situations. He believes that this has built the team's confidence level and has allowed them to handle pressure situations effectively.

Unity

Also contributing to the_ir success are feelings of unity and strong leadership throughout the squad.

Senior forward. Otis Crumpton said, "I think we have'great. team leaders and excellent chemistry. Our ability to stay foe.used is also in place."

The centralized effort can be seen just as well on paper. Statistics so far have been Pretty evenly spread. When asked about individual standouts, Gibbs stated, "l hate to single anyone out. Our kids have done a good job of accepting their roles on the team. They are more interest·

individual· scoring."

Nationals

the Cats came from a deficit of ed in the team's success than in Here it goes again: Another PSCteam is headed for the top. If you haven't already heard. the PSC Men's Basketball team is on a roll. As of Nov. 30, they• v e c ha Ike d up a n impressive record of 8 wins and 1 loss, (and that loss came against an NA!A Division II school).

With this attitqde ·and the talent on the team, the Bobcats have no place to go but up. Like any other team, they've set their sights on making it to Nationals. And according to Todd McGowan. a senior' forward. they are going to do just that.

"As of now, we can have no doubts abo.ut m§king the National tourney We have to contf'hue to improve and grow as a team and .execute our talent to its. fullest."

Coach Gibbs sees this as reachable.

"We'd like to be. top seed going into the playoffs. If we stay healthy and work h;;ird, we can do it. Our advantage will come second semester because mostofourgamesare at home. We've always played really well here."

The next home g'a(ne is Dec. 9 against Central f0et'0ooist. ·oo sure to mark your calendar; you won't.want to miss it!

Sixteen Years Ago Today

O.J. Simpson of Buffalo became the first pro football player ever to rush than 2,000 yards in a season. Four other players topped the 1.000-y;;rd mark. The offensive surge by runners has been credited to the increasing use of,zone defenses. which discourage fong passes. There is no telling how many more yards Jim Brown of the Cleveland Browns might have gained undewthe increased use of the zone defense.

The Widmayer & Associates report, published in November, recommended total reorganization of higher education in Nebraska, with separate governing boards for each of the three campuses of the University of Nebraska and the four state The report also recommended a "new" Board of Regents that ·would have "certain limited authority and coordinating responsibilities for the seven public senior insitutions."

Eats Cari IS PSC Unsafe?

'.'Word-Of•Mouth" Maybe Bigger Threat Be Costly

bY Caitlin.R. l.Opez

Do we need more guards _bn campus, or guards on students' mouths? This is a serious· question that should be contended with by all involved with PSC. Is Peru really that dangerous, or is it the "word-of-mouth" that's really the prob)em?

PSC contracts United Security Incorporated of Omaha for "the sole purpose of protecting us. A security guard walks the grounds between 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. every night. He secures all locks on buildings, keeps an eye out far a·ny misdoings, and tries to ensure that students walking to and from buildings in the dark, are safe. Can one guard ensure safety for everyone across the whole campus?

Ron Fabry, supervisor of building and grounds, ·sees no reason ta incre_ase secu_rity an "campus, because "we really don't have a problem." .

Howeve_r. there are isolated instances that cal.\se you ta wander. For example, there are broken windows caused every naw"and then. by people foaling around, or there is last year's little mishap with the food services building.

It appeared that same students were caught breaking and entering into the food services building, but upon further investigation, it was discovered that the employees weren't even locking· the doors. ·

This is Peru, not Omaha. The most exciting thing ta happen at a PSC dance is perhaps someone getting a little carried away and falling through a wall or window. UNO dances, I hear, are quite eventful.

Guards are placed at: UNO dances because the administration there is afraid that someone will became trigger-happy and start shooting again; Haw many times has this happened at Peru? ·

Or how many of you have heard about the rapes that have supposedly taken pll:lce an campus? Haw many of you were among" those ta tell about these rapes? And yet, haw many of you knew the actual facts?

According to Campus Security, these rapes never took place an campus. Talk and speculation helped ta circulate true worry and concern over a problem· that did not exist. Certainl¥ it's

something ta be· cautious about, but I'm afraid that: some people blew this out of proportion.

A result of this concern for the safety of PSC's female population was a crash course in the fine art of defending oneself against prospective attackers.

One Sunday evening, during the fall semester, Shawn Matzen, a former student currently stationed at Omaha with the Security Police;. gave this course at a mandatory dorm meeting. This was such a success that he gave this course again, later in the semester.. ·

This, I feel is greatly needed and appreciated. All women, and men -too, should be aware of haw ta protect themselves. should the need ,arise. · ·

Another solution to this would be an escorting service. What do you think about an escorting service? Nat much. obviously. for the idea seems ta have died.

It sounds like a good idea though. When a girl has ta walk home from Delzell or the Complex after a late night study session, rather than walking .alone in the dark and scary PSC night, she can call the Escort Service Hat Line, and abra-cadabra an escort will appear. This charming escort would then walk her home, and the young damsel lh•distress would be safe.

For all practical intents and purposes, this sounds to b.e a : 'solution to the "rape problem." But haw many of you yauJ'.lg ladies would use or ev.;n acimit ta using this service? Moreover. h'15w many of you young men wquldbewaiting on the other end of thatlinejustraringtowalka total stranger home? Besides, is it really necessary?

"There's usually no problem.'' says Fal;)ry. He comments that Christmastime and the end of the spring semester usually bring about a little thievery, but nothing that campus Securitiy can't handle. "It's nothing ta get excited about."

Disgruntled students complain, worry and spread groundless rurpors. I see no problems with PSC Campus Security. We seem to be a pretty safe lat, and 1 always feel secure. The only dangerous thing about us is our mouths, or do you really feel. that we need to ···beef-up-security'?

"Pride" Stirs Memories of Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Cathie English

My alarm woke me up at 6: 15 as usual and I forced myself out of bed and convinced rpyself ta put an my jogging suit and aerobic shoes. I slipped the U2 Rattle and Hum tape into my walkman and begrudgingly started my aerobic routine. By the time I had reached the cool dowri stage, I felt really great, but the thing I felt the greatest ab'outwas last song on that orthetape. ltwasPride (In the Name of Love>. and the day was Monday, Jan. 15.

For thas.; of you who don't know about U2 or the song Pride. you won't realize haw appropriate and coincidental it

was I chose U2's tape an that particular day. Bona. the grbup's leader, w{ate these lyrics: "Early morning April

· four I A shat rings out" in the Memphis sky/Free at last/ They took your life/They could not take your pride."

Many of us don't rem.ember

· the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was shat. Many of us don't remember his famous "I have a. dream" speech in Washington, D.C. We may see film footage of bath these events, but we don't remember haw we felt or what we thought an those

· days in history. Many of us

· don't even really know what Martin Luther King, Jr. stood

for. Not really. Yet, w,e shauk make an effort ta understand what his life and vision were all about

We celebrate George Washington and Abraham Lincoln by teaching elementary students about their lives and legends. We know about the cherry "tree and the log cabin. We know about the general and the lawyer. We know they were presidents: What do we know about Martin Luther King, Jr.? Will we immortalize his boyhood? Will we· learn about where he went to school, 'to college, to seminary? What will we learn about Reverend King? Will elementary school children construct silhouettes of him someday?

At the end of Martin Luther King, Jr. day I made an enl;,ry in my daily journal: .:·1 listened to Pride (In the Name Qf Love)this morning. How appropriate. 1do dedicate this · da"· to his memory." I felt that it was necessary to do something significant on this day set aside in his memory.

I believe that it is important for us to make a conscious and deliberate effort to honor this man. We should honor him by learning about him. We honor him most when' we gain aj1 understanding in our soul of what he stood for. We must gain wisdom of his prir:iciples ant1 b.;liefs. Just as we have come to understand _that Washington and Lincoln' stood

By Dawn Bowsman

Have you ever purchased anything and then thrown it away without opening it or ,, ..• trying it out? Most likely yoyr;» answer is "No, of cours7ri5t. That would be a stupid"'waste of money!" You'Fe fight. That would be;,...•irresponsible and immatul'.'.e;_ but vyhat do you think happens when you buy a meal plan and then don't eat all of the meals? You certainly don't get a refund; you waste your money.

Some PSC students are having this very problem. Students on the 10-meal plan are usually those. who don't eat breakfast, or those who work and aren't here for most of the meals. Sometimes these people stay .here on the weekends, and if they just happen to have any meals left. they would like to be able to use them. They can't. The 10-meal plan is to be used only Monday through Friday, not on the .weekends.

for liberty and the rights of man, we must understa"nd that King stood for this and perhaps even more.

Whatever each individual chooses to do is personal, but it is vital t;o honor and remember him. Apathy does nothing, wisdom does something. You may take part in Black History Month, you may attend a rally or a film, you may read a book or, perhaps you may choose to follovv L,J2's example: "For the Reverend Martin Luther King, SING. In the name of love, what more in the name of love."

When the 10-meal plan was introduced two years ago, it could. be used on the weekends. Being the first year for it, the response wasn't very high. Administration took th.at to mean that the students didn't want it, so they converted it into the. "convenience plan," which means no weekends.

I don't k'now whether it's supposed to· be a convenience for the fobd service or the college, but it certainly doesn't seem to be a convenience for the students.' The 10-meal plan should include meals any time during the week, and now that it's had exposure. it deserves another chance. It's our money and our meals. so why can't we eat whenever we want?

Legislative bill L.B. 1141 would change the governance of postsecondary educational institutions and create a new Board of Regents for Nebraska Higher Education.

Students repeatedly ask the Placerpent Office to bring more employers to campus, according to Linda Warren, PSC placement director.

Warren said she has found that employers in the advertising-print business do not go to campuses. Furthermore. they don't even .advertise openjngs. Word-ofmouth' and "who you know" are the, methods of recruitment.

Consequently, Warren advises students interested in advertising to attend the "Meet The Pros" convention,· Feb. 22 and 23 at the Holiday Inn

universities would each ·have their own boards of trustees.

L. R. 239CA is a constitutional amendment which establishes the new board of regents with authority to coordinate the seven public colleges and universities. #J!lii

The State College Board of Trustees has endors.ed a study which calls for restructvring of the state's .postsecondary institutions.

"There are still specific details yet to be resolved," said Celann LaGreca, chair of the

Boaro o'f Trustees. "However, we are<. supportive of the restructuring as recommended if the appropriate balance is maintained for the institutional boards of trustees and the new board of regents.,"

The Board is scheduled to testify on the bills before the Legislature's Education Committee next week. Other legislation which may impact on '!:he State College System will also be discussed at the meeting.

Last year, PSC stydent Julie Williams, sold a paintil'lg for a bank's year-end report at the student show.

The show gives students an opportul"lity to take their portfolios and see what other students <[:!re doing. The portfolios that received· the most interest. according to Warren, showed the student's skills with graphid; and printed material. The portfolios should

PERU PLAYERS AND THE PSC MUSIC DEPARTMENT PRQUDLY PRESENT

by Merri Johnson

If you've attended a Peru ,Players production in the last two years, you've probably seen Andy Donovan. The native· is just a sophomore but is already preparing for his seventh appea r.ance on stage at PSC. ·

Donovan brings expertise from both his art and speech drama maJors .to the Peru Players. In addi.tion to acting. he designs and paints scenes. The nature of play production demands regular attention to duties. says Donovan. In that respect,'he explains, his drama interests currently take precedence over art.

· Acting appeals./'to his enjoyment of "moving people" to laughter or tears. saysDonovan: The tion he once derived from entertaining grade school classmates now comes from a theatre audience. It is especially gratifying. he says •.. to be told in person that h.is performance was powerful enough ·to make someone cry.

That power was evidently apparent in his portrayal 9f Tom Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie last. fall. H.is performance earned him an Irene Ryan nomination. As a result, he competed in the annual American College Theatre Festival in St. Louis last month.

Judging was based on a five-minute performance with a partner and also monologue. The PSC actor chose scenes from Death of a Salesman and Brighton Beach Memoirs. Local playgoers can judge Donovan for themselves when the Peru Play1ers present the latter. play this April.

Warren Sees 'Good Times' Ahead for PSC Graduates

Linda Warren believes "It's a good time to pe a. college graduate," and she has the figures to back it up.

Mrs. Warren, PSC's career planning an.d placement director, reports the coltege placed 99 percent of its graduating class of 1988 jobs, primarily in Nebraska. · Figures for 1989 are not ·available.

The figure is based on the number qf grads who report to Mrs. Warren .and who are seeking employment. Of the 212-member class of '88, 166, or 78 percent reported.. Twc> were r:lot employed.

Mrs. Warrenbelievesmostof those.not already had jobs and dJdn't bother tq return her survey. "We usually hear from. the ones who don't have jobs they tend to blame She laughed. "

Of those students reporting, 80 percent were employed in Nebraska, with the remainder spread from MaS,sachusettS, to California. ·· ·

Fc>r the class of '88, a cquple trends stand out in Mrs. Warren's view.

"The highest salaries in the class went tq females," she noted. "Also, backgrounds in the education field help, even in careers ·outside •of •teaching; · people in managemJant · are · expected to teach others" in business ang... industry, she said.

An eight-year review of placement trends at PSC reveals some interesting trends as well. The college has averaged a 93 percent placement rate over that period, with the class of '88s · rate of 99 percent tops. The class of '84 had the lowest rate at 89 percent.

Only fqur percent of the class of '.88 went on tq school. The eight-year average was 10 percent. Mrs. Warren believes a strong market for college graduates has encouraged students' tq begin immediately. ·

program at PSC is that virtually no one knows about it yet.

"There were; only 13 people who did the internships : the first semester, and there are just 31 this semester as of today;" he said. "Studer)tsjust don't know aboµt it." ·

"One of the not kriowr is becaus.e it was only open to the bu;Siness division before; now it's open to everyone. We have added science and technology,, education; physical education' and humanities. It now has all the major fields of study," said Harshbarger.

Teamwork Pays Off Big For Bellevue Natives

by Russ Waring

The PSC men's basketball team is having another season, as they are one of the top teams in District 11 due in a. large part to six yo.ung·men from Bellevue.

One scan down the PSC roster reveals that six of the. players come the ,Bellevue area. They are Mark Crockett, Phil Davidson. Bill Richards, Brett''Richards. Dave Schoonover and Rob Wright. Schoonover is from Bellevue East,·while the rest come out of Bellevue West. which· is headed by Bill and Brett's dad, Lanny Richards. who is a graduate 'bf PSC.

According to Cbach Gibbs, all six 'came qut of high school "functionally sound." Gibbs also said that they're a good group of kids, that make a good p9sitive impact.

,; .The group feets·that coming from the same town ·helps them play together, as .they know each other's moves. and capabilities. They say that it helps off-court, as well as

.they're all good friends,

As a group they average about 26 points per game.and have 120 rebounds· and 134 assists.

The mah doing most of the damage is Brett Richards. He's· third in District 11 in' scoring with 20. 7 points per game, seventh in assists with 4.3 a game.

According to the last District 11 report. he is also ninth in accuracy from three-point range, connecting on 82 for 193 ·for a .425 percentage,, and forth in free throw percentage, hitting 92 for 106 for an .868 percentage.

While Brett. is the one grabbing.most of the headlines, according to Cbach Gibbs, it's Just a matter of time befo.re the rest get their dues;

.Gibbs went on to sa'y that the basketball ti:!am continues to get more kids fr9m the Omaha area, as they are "finding out the positive things about Peru." One of those positives has to be that these guys are going to be around for the next couple of years.

Lady Cats Explode Playoffs And Look

by Mike McCoy

We still haye better basketball to play," stressed coach Wayne Davidson after his girls drubbed Benedictine (KS) 108c56 at home.

In that ganie 13 players scored, three of which achieved personal bests, and four school records were· broken.. This all from a team that wasn't even picked for the top five of the district (preseason).

"At the start of the season most teams in the district didn't even give us a chance to be considered .a contender because of the lo5s of six seniors from last years squad.'' Currently the girls are 1 3-7 (Jan. 29) and the No. 2 independent team.in the.state. There are a combination of reasons why the girls have been so successful. The most evident, h6we\ler, would have to be the play and leadership of seniors Carrie Menges, Liz Jessen. and Marcia Stevens.

to

"the seniors have provided outstanding leadership and have had quality playing tirhe in the past," stated. Davidson: But a great: deal of their success he believes is due to th.e key play of the underclassmen and their ability to mature '!into positions. "We are becoming a ·very competitive team and lam pleased with the level in · which we· have achieved I believe we have proven that we have a shot at the top spot <Independents)."

Hea.ding into the last month of play, Kearney ·State is the top independent in the. state. The top three independents make the district playoffs with the No. 1 team drawing.a first round bve and .the h'ome court in the semifinals.

"Each (game') heading into the end of the season, is vital .tor the playoff picture. We arei scheduled to play Kearney State twice before the end of the and mustachiev,e at least' a split with them to be seeded No. 1.''

New Antf·drug Campaigns... Gov. Orr Proposes Stronger· Penalty

(CPS)--ln trumpeting aggressivia new anti-drug campaigns, the governors of Georgia and Nebraska made punishing college students a central part of their state-of-the-state adresses in mid-January.

In Nebraska, Gov. Kay Orr asked. her legislature to force students at the University of Nebraska. and Chadron, .Kearney and Peru State. colleges to sign statements that they are ·"drug-free". before they can enroll.

Also under Orr's proposal, students convicted of a drug offense would have to go into rehabilitation. On their second offense. students would be

kicked out of school.

Students would be re.admited Orr said, "after the second offense. if they proved they've been rehabilitated."

"It's' absurd," complained NU student government member Deb Rddelke, "t9 single out students. Education shouldn't be used as a political weapon." Similarly inGeorgia, Gov. Joe Frank Harris introduced a bill to let state colleges suspend students convk:ted of drµgrelated offenses during the term of their arrest. Violators would receive no credit for. :work completed during the term, and no refunds would be available.

SENATE

Eai;tier in th.e school year. Illinois Republican statlf R13p. Jerry Weller .said he. · would introduce a bilf to give preference in state aid to students who provide a clean urine sample. Under the plan., students who'submit to a., drug test and come µp clean would get preference over an equally qualified applicant who refuses to take the.test.

Already, students who get federal grants ha.ve to1 sign a statement promising they don't and won't use illegal drugs. Additionally, college officials are rquired to have some kind ot anti-drug program in place.

Offic·ial Education Observers Decade of "Dizzying" Classroom · Predict Dr. Jack Hytrek Honored Changes· In Education Publication

(CPS)--Higher education will probably be drastically different from what it is today in the 2.1st Century, now just a decadefaway.

Technology, expanding at a dizzying rate, will affect campuses in every way imaginable, observers agree.

,;1;:\t;<redible technological; change's····are just .a • decade away," pr.etlk:ted Martha Church, president of H,opd College in Maryland.

The Department of Education. in a Elecember study titled "Projections of Education Statistics to 2000," predicts enrollment will fluctuate during the 1990s, but ultimately will increase from t2.8 million Jn 1988 to 13.4 million by century's end.

A 1988 College Board report pr.edicted that half of the nation's college popula'::ion will be made up of. students who at least 25 years old, who

often have jobs a'nd families.

Te.n years ago observers anticipated enrollment would craJh during the 1980s.

By the blacks and Hispanics will make up a third of the traditional college-age population,· and most schools are expecting a corresponding fraction to enroll in college.

tncreas(ng minority· enroll-· ment, of course. has been on nearly everyone's agenda. but efforts haven't always been successf.ul. Last January. the American Council on Education (ACE) ,r"college president's trade group in Washington, D.C., discovered black male enrollment had actually fallen from 470,000 students in 1976 to 436,000 in 1986.

Tuition:

Come 2007, tuition at private ·universities will average $46,515 a year, Research Associates of Washington predicts. Public research university tuition will be$ 7. 715 per year, while public four-year college tuition will average $6, 152 for a year.

Slightly Off Campus

Faculty:

While some campuses already are smarting from a lack of professors, a Princeton University report released in September warned colleges will suffer a shortage of at least 6,000 professors by 2000.

The Education Dept. thinks the number df facult>: will increase by 4 percent, from 741 .000 in 1988 to 771,000 in 2000. Perhaps out of necessity, 01urch predicts "we'll see an enlarged arena of people who belong in academia," including people with backgrounds in government and industry.

And, she adds, "We need to be especially diligent about what's missing most: minority faculty."

Other:

ln its look at the beginning of the next century. the Education Dept. predicts more women than men will· earn doctoral degrees for the first time. Women also will continue to earn- more _associates, bachelors and masters deg re.es than men. The department also has forecast that higher education spending will rise 24 percent, from $115.5 billion to $144.4 billion.

Cats ·(iorop Close Contest

To Bellevue, Beat Midland

By Phil Davidson

The Peru State men's basketball team took their number-one-in-the-state NAIA rankings into games last week against Bellevt,le College and Midland Lutheran.

In front of a standing room only crowd, on Jan. 20, against Bellevue, i;he Bobc;:its led most of the game, only to loose on two last-second free throws.

Rod Fredrick had 21 points, and Brett Richards chipped in 1 7, to pace the Cats, while James Bell and Andy Dunlap helped control the boards. Although Bellevue had an incredible at-home record of 24 and 1 over the last two years, Coach John Gibbs ',• said, ·"We played \/ery well 'I' enough to win the ballgame."

When asked for his comments on the game, Richards, who hails from Beillevue, commented, "l felt empty as I headed for the locker room. It was a tough game to lose." The final score was 73-72, Bellevue.

On Tuesdav.. January 23, the Bobcats entertained Midland Lutheran, After the tough loss to Bellevue, ¢oach Gibbs told the team that this was a big game tow;:ird the playoffs. As the game progressed, it was obvious that he was not going

Inside Sports ... Demanding Fans. Add "Spice" To Games

By Amy Snyde.r

Face it. There's nothing like a good close game of basketball to bring out the expert in everyone, I mean honestly, where else can you analyze a problem, formulate a hypothesis, freely offer your opinion about something you know relatively little about and not be _held responsible?

Everybody.does it. Whether it's ·a bad pass inside or a coach's last-second decision, every person in the crowd has an opinion on how the game could have been or should have been improved.

In many cases, the urge to criticize is stimulated by· a desire to be recognized. Recognized as what, I don't know, but it seems tbat many· otherwise timid people feel quite at hom_e screaming amateur comments. at professional coaches. Unfortunately, however, in an attempt to gain personal ego support, many people's mouths get way ahead of their brains.

No Margin For Error

"Cmon Coach ! Get the ball to your big shooter!"

A profound statement. I wonder if the coach would consider such a daring move?

But coaches aren't the target of all the grief. Some is aimed at the players. It seems that a few spectators find it hard to believe that during .a contest that involves rigorot,lls physical and mental exercise <:! person could allow themselves to make a mistake. I don't know. It must be something about the uniform that provides the players with an aura of perfection, because when a mistake is made. it's usually the player's motives that come into question. "What did .he do that f'or? What's wrong with him?"

Couch Potato. Coaching

Now I realize th?t these remarks are generally not intended to do ;:iny. harm, nor are th_ey directed at anyone personally. I only ask the.se "arm-chair" coaches and players to consider a few thingsP;

If you# had worked ·and trained for :the past three months to make yourself an asset to your team, and

someone who hadn't exercised vigorously in the past four years constantly cut down your efforts, how would you feel?

And 'if you were a coach, and had at least 10 years of experience under your belt only to ·have your knowledge questioned by an underwater basketweaving major, how would you feel?

Meeting Challenges

As a player or a coach, 'each new game brings a different challenge that must be faced with confidence and skill. Whether or not that challe.nge is met effectively .is ·the responsibility of those who wear the uniforms and call the plays.

The input of the fans should not be expected to directly influence the decisions of the team. Instead it should be utilized as a motivational tool and as a show of school spirit and support. A good crowd can add a lot to a close ball game. And a good team truly appreciates the presence of a good crowd.

to be disappointed. Relying on tough defense from Brad Thompson and Todd McGowan, and the·scoring of Richards and Fredrick, who had 23 and 21 points respectively, the Bobcats led by as many as 18 points twice. The final margin of victory was only six points. Frederick said, "We got a nice lead, then we got sloppy; but it was a big win." The final score was 8781, Bobcats.

The Cats are now 15-8 overall, and 8-1 at home. With eight games left before the district playoffs begin, it is the ultimate goal of the team to make the national tournament in Kansas City. Richards added, "Our ch13nces of getting to Kansas Gty are very good, but we need to get the home court advantage in the playoffs, and some great crowd support."

Peru State College place kicker Ron Shaneyfelt was named to the 1989 National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAlA) Division II Football All-America first team announced January 16.

Two Bobcats. linebacker Kory Lind and offensive guard Pat Haxton, were both honorable-mention choices in the announcement from the NAIA office in Kansas Gty, Mo.

my mind lwashopingoneorthe other would get something higher. But there was a lot of competition.this year. and as a result of that. they didn't get in."

Haxton, a six foot, 260-pound senior. was a team captain and emotional leader of "The Hogs". Peru State's veteran offensive line. The quintuplet was a key factor in the success of the Bobcat offense, which ranked No. 2 in the nation in scoring (44.7 ppg), fourth in team total offense (490.3 yds/gm), and tenth in team passing (272.1 yds/gm).

Only five linemen were chosen for each of the first and second teams. A total of 15 players were listed under the

team, while defensive end Shane Alexander gained honorable-mention status.

"I'm really happy for Ron," said Peru State coach Tom Shec:i. "He had the stats this year and is right where he should be. He had an excellent year and the consistency we were looking for. He had one of those seasons a young man in his position dreams about."

That's for sure. Shaneyfelt, a 5 foot 8 inch, 160-pound sophomore from Omaha, didn't kick at all for the· Bobcats as a freshman. But last fall he led the nation in kick scoring with an 8.22 average per game. He booted nine of ten field goals and converted 47·of 50 extr:apoint attempts during the regular season.

Shaneyfelt's selection marks the second time in ·three years Peru State has landed a kicker on-the All-America team. Brian Levin of Granite Gty, Ul., who closed out his career with 45 field goals and 225 points, was chosen to the first team in 1987.

Shaneyfelt edged out Chadron State's Jay Masek, who gained second-team honors.and Nebraska Wesleyan's Lee Jameson, an honorable-mention choice.

Shea said he was glad to see Haxton and Lind earn honorable-mention accolades. but was hoping for higher honors.

"Kqry and Pat were both excellent football players for us," he said. "l'rri pleased they received .the recognition they did, but I guess .in the back of

honorable-mention.

"Pat's name was passed around a lot at the selection meeting," Shea said of the Norton. KS. native who transferred to Peru State from Garden City Community College. "So I know he was given careful consideration and was respected by a lot of the coaches.''

"She's really had two roles this year," Davidi:;on said. "Early on, we had her starting at the shooting guard position, but then she became one of our first subs off the bench after we switched to a big (tall) lineup.

"In several games already. she has come in and made her first shot and given us a lift in key situations."

The earnings .from the tournament, according to Lori Broady, tournament chairperson, will be used for an org9nizational bulletin board, that will display the names and meeting times of all campus organizations. The bulletin board is to be a memorial to Chris Haddad. a Peru State graduate .and former admissions counselor.

The tournament will feature a double elimination format and will be held in the AWAC Sports Center. Teams from nearby towns, such as Auburn. Nebraska City and Tecumseh have r""gistered to play. as weli as teams from Lincoln and Ralston.

The approximate starting time on Saturday is at noon with action continuing until 8:00 p.m. Sunday's schedule is from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m.

"At this point, Mary has come in and been one of our most consistent threats from the qutside," said Davidson, PSC's fifth-year meritor. "In fact, she's our leading three•point shooter.

"Mary has also played a good team game in terms of defense and handling pressure. Really, she's had just an outstanding freshman year to date."

Her season high is a 12-point · effort in a 70-56 triumph over Dana College in the season's third game.

Miltenberger said she is pleasantly surprised by her ability to contribute as a freshman.

"l'r:n doing better than expected to this year," she said. "I'm getting more playing time than I ever dreamed of.

"When Coach Davidson was recruiting me, he said he was graduating four guards and that I would have an opportunity to play right away. But I didn't think it would be so soon and so much."

The concession stand and the swimming pool win be open during the tournament. There is no admission charge to. the tournament, although admission to the ·swimming pool will be 50 cents. Broady says she encourages everyone to come and watch the hoopla.

Athletic Fee Discussed at Student Senate Forum·

By Amy Snyder

A proposed $10 athletic fee was the topic of a student forum held in Benford Recital Hall on Tuesday, January 30.

The fee would be added to all students' fees and would be used to accomplish a priority list of goals compiled by Dean Jerry Joy and the PSC Student Senate.

Kelly Tynon, president of Student Senate and coordinator of the gathering, began the session by introducing the purpose of the fee. She noted that each prioritized item had been discussed on campus many times in the past. and that this fee would assure a realization of these goals. The list is as follows:

· 1) Completion of the baseball/softball fields west of the Centennial Complex by fall of 1990.

2) Installment of tennfs courts, complete with basketball hoops and lights by fall 1990-spring i 991.

3) Expansion of varsity athletics by adding a track and golf program in the 1991-92 school year.

Tynon went oh to explain that these additions to PSC went hand-in-hand with the goals of Student Senate, and, therefore, the Senate had ·voted to support the fee.

The ·next speaker, Erin O'Grady, president of Women's Athletic Association and Varsity Club, continued support of the proposal by describing the fee as a "major plus for the entire campus."

She believes everyone cou.ld benefit from the possible

increased enrollment inspired by these changes, and from the sense of pride that would follow.

"Varsjty athletes will not be th'e only ones to benefit from this," O'Grady said. She stated that 450 students are involved in intramural athletics and that the·y too would profit.

Diaan Jerry Joy then took the stand·and provided yet another outlook on the situation. He discussed the difficulty in allocating funds for such projects, and looked back· on the Student Center fee and the gains that the college has received from such a "valuable asset."

The final speaker, Athletic Director and coach, Tqm Shea, reiterated many of the points previously made. He sees the baseball/softball complex as a necessity to the teams and noted that the baseball team has been forced to play home games in Auburn and Tecumseh in the past. He also said that funding for the team to travel comes out of the players' pockets.

Continuing, he revealed that the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics

District 11 has banned PSC from playing any softball games on the city field. "We owe it to these people to give them a place to play."

Shea's final comments referred to the ability of new programs to "sell" our institution to incoming students. He· spoke of the renovation of the library and the influence it had on people's view of the school.

Work-study Funding

By Cathie English

There is no indication at all that PSC \/\{ill receive any new money for the college workstudy program, according to Peggy Groff, coordinator of work-study and financial aid secretary. College·work study pays $3.36 per hour, but, according to Groff, PSCwill not raise the wages. until July 1 , even though minimum wage will increase April 1.

Uncertain

Groff said work-study job allotments average $750 a year per student, but with minimum wage going up, the financial aid office may have to limit the number of people who will receive work-study jobs. "We may pay the same amount, but put fewer people on," she said. Groff said they would like to see a raise in the allotment to $900.

Joanne Catlett, a junior who works for the placement office, stated that it woL.Jld make a big difference for her if :ninimum wage is increased. "I oay a babysitter and it will ·1elp," she said. Catlett said if :hey raise the minimum wage, r·ederal and state government funding should allow more noney for college work-study. She also said if they have to ;imit the number of 1obs. it woL.Jld hurt' the placement office as well as other offices. "The placement

office gets really bus'y and they need peqple to work," she said.

Amy Henzel, a fifth-year senior who works for the humanities department, said she is concerned about the depletion of funds for college work-study. "The federal and state government should put more money ·into this program," she stated. Henzel said if there are students who are willing to work, there should be jobs available to them Henzel said she thought the raising of minimum wage would make work-study more of a job market situation. She said, "More people would be in competition it could be beneficial and produce better work-study students."

Groff said that there wer::e work-study students as of July 1 • but since then some r\ave graduated or quit. She ;;aid non-traditional students , continued on page 11

Students Issue Challenge: PSC Grovvth Is Up To All Of Us

By Laura Winegardner, Amy Snyder, & Kelly Tynon

A· sort of "hurray"for-meand-to-hell-with-the-rest" attitude has developed against a proposar to add new athletic facilities at PSC.

The proposal calls for the completion of the baseball and"' the softball fields west of the Centennial Complex, the installation of tennis courts, complete with basketball hoops and lights, and the expansion of varsity athletics by. adding a track and a golf program.

This action will require an additional $10.00 student fee.

If.you are a thinking person you have to Cf?nclude that this proposal will only help Peru.

Certain students against the proposal justify their opinions with the.statements, "l live.14. miles away and will never use if. Why should I .pay for it?" or

"Why can't we get n')oney through other means, like fundraisers?" ·

If you are a thinking person, you have to conclude tha.t this

As students, we often place the · responsibility .for ·growth and development of a campus upon the faculty and administration.

proposal will only help Peru. Without a doubt, we will gain in the development of new intramural, varsity, and community programs. We should not only consider how this would benefit us individually, but how this would profit our college as a whole.

As students, we often place the responsibility for growth and development of a campus upon the faculty and administrat;ton. Is this responsibility co.rreetly placed? We think.not!

Each of us has something to

give, but an environment in which it can be· given will not exist until we first give opportunities to. our fellbw students and the community of Peru, which. is also kicking in money to support these projectS.

Stud'r,JJts who were concemed about the additional fee or the proposal had an opportl,inity to. voice their opinions on Thursday, February 1, at a student senate-sponsored forum. However, hardly anyone showed up, yet, we are. still hearing opposition against this action; we want to know why.

We have also heard rumors that this proposal was "railroaded" through .the senate. How can this be when all concemad were given the opportunity to comment at the forl.Kn?

It's time we get on with the business of obtaining ari education, and make a contribution to the future of PSC student.s and the community of Peru. ..

Letter to the Editor ...

Dear Editor.

Last September a parking lot north of Delzell Hall was opened for use by commuters. I enjoyed using the lot because it was closer to the Jindra Fine Arts Building where most of my classes were held. However, l have had a difficult time using the lot in the past month or so. It isn't that the lot is full. The lot rarely has more than seven or eight cars in it. The condition of the lot makes it impossible to use.

Last week my car was parked in the lot for one day.

I walked through ruts filled with water to get to my car. The gravel that did cover the lot has disappeared into the mud. I'm surprised people aren't getting stuck. I almost did.

As a commuter, I appre- · date the convenience of ·a parking lot so near 1'.he campus. There yvas ·a raise in pa.rking 'so that this lot could be built Since the lot is now a fact, I see no reason why it can't be maintained so that it is usable

'Some Patented Methods For Beating The The Alarll't'ing Confessions of a Certified Snoozer

By Amb!=!r Fabry

The"alarm rings.; and (just lie there. I have to trick myself into up some mornings. ! ··

You probably assume that the .111ind is not very "on the ball'.'.\t\lhen itjustv\takes up. Thisisfalse. My mind is more cunning and devious when it's half asleep than at any other time of day.

For instance, suppose I want to wake up at 6:30and go run around the campus a couple of times, do some situps, shower, and readthe newspaper while l ·eat my Crunch Berries atbreakfa!:it. I f::lave to eat fast, <say, 15 minutes) so I can leave for ?,class at 8:0Q. I .don't really 0 want to do all those things that early in the morni11g, but · I try · to main.tain high standards.

That sort of morning doesn't sound too bad, does it? That's because you're one of those people for whom waking up is one of life's great pleasures. You probably dream about the delight of waking to the sound of alarm clocks. Loud bleeps, soft bleeps, and all sorts of crazv sounds that alarm clocks make really get yoU excited. You are also tx>t.ally deranged t YOA.J see. I have to fake

myself out by setting my alarm dock for 6 a:m. It has one .of those snooze features so that I can just smack it on its little head, and it lets me sleep for another eight minutes C.Ves, I'm sure you know about these.) I have to trick myself into thinking that I ha.ve another half hour of•· sleep. I don't know how I do it, but I can always make eight e.xtra minutes feel like a half hour. So far so good. But let's look at how it works in real life:

6 a.m. The alarm clock niust have gone off, but for some reason I don't remember hearing it.

6:08 a.m. l feel myself turning over, and' my reaches out and smacks the alarm clock on top.

"SMACK!" l hear Then I don't hear anything again.

6:16 a.m. Repeat 6:08 a.m .• only the "SMACK!" is louder.

6:24 a.m. Repeat!

6:32 a.m. The alarm sounds, and I look at the red numbers of the clock. I'm already two minutes late, so I· might as well make it an even ten. (The morning is the only time I can calculate numbers this' well.)

"SMACK!"

6:40a.m. It's definitely too

late to run around campus,. To make sure I get up at 6 a.m. tomorrow. I put the ala rm clock across the room. behind tht;! bookshelf and pile stuff on top of it. The logic here is that by the time I uncover the clock. I'll be awake enough to deal with the fact that I have to getup. I reset the clock for 7 a.m.

6:57 a.m. l'mbarelyawake and expecting the alarm to go off any second. Right right Now! Right Now! Right the alarm, doesn't go off. and l drift back to sleep.

7:22 a.m. My dorm room is brighter and warmer. Birds are chirping, and I hear others going to brealjfast. Finally, I feel ready to start the day. "

Then I suddenly realize I must have set the clock wrong• I bolt upright, feeling something like tarantulas creeping up my spine. I leap across the room, frantically uncovering the clock. Its shimmering red numbers burn into my soul the fact that I've totally blown it. I'm history. I've had it. So long. Finished!

Believe it or not, I make it to class on timE!. My blouse is a little wrinkled. though, and I didn't have · any Crunch Berries. <This makes up for the situps I missed.) I've

forgotten my notebook, but l borrow some paper from the person in front of me. She rips it out of her notebook. And, by the way, "you wouldn't happen to have an extra pen?"

Tomorrow this isn't going to happen. I've got it all

figured out. I'll get a screwdriver and remove the snooze button from my clock; then I'll put the clock at the back of my closet and hook up the alarm to my stereo loudspeakers, which I'll set on both sides of my pillow

Carter Woodson's Dream With Black History Month Comes True Recognition

In the 1 920's the historian Carter G. Woodson began the movement for an officially designated annual commemoration of black history. Woodson's hope - long frustrated - is now a reality. February is now recognized as Black History Month. and each February countless events across the .country are dedicated to this purpose.

By the end. worthy to be confronted with of the month, many others will have contributed their efforts.

The schedule of events covers a wide. variety of interests and combines social activities with current affairs.

In particular I would stress the value to all Peru State College students of attending the lectures of Vi Malone ( 11 :00 a.m. on Feb. 22), and Diane Thomas a.m. on Feb. 27).

SAT lest Deemed Unfair

(CPS)--The anti-SAT (Scholastic Achievement Test) movement gained more steam Jan. 24 as the leaders of almost 50 national education groups called on schools to· stop giving students standardized, multiple choice tests.

The groups, organized by FairTest, a Cambridge, Mass.-based critic of the SAT, urged schools to create "performance portfolios" to replace standardized tests as measures of students' educational progress.

students how to pass memory tests instead of teaching them how to think.

Neill, along with groups such as the American Federation of. Teachers, Council for Basic Education and the· Institute for Learning and Teaching, proposed that schools do away with worksheets and drills, and instead, have more hands-on projects.

It is especially appropriate for educational institutions to be actively engaged in celebrating Black History Month. The faculty, students and administration of Peru State College should be proud of the way in which our Black History Month activities have improved over the last few years. The events on our campus compare very

On a college campus. the celebration of Black History Month serves three purposes. In the first place it provides an opportunity for AfricanAmerican students to develop a more reflective and informed sense of their heritage and identity. In tne second place it' provides the means for .the re!;it , .of the student body to confront

our stunning human capa'cities for harsh. ruthless, and inhuman oppression. But considerable evidence shows us that we are yet capable of being amazed by unexpected revelatiq,ns of the great, still largely untapped human potential for resistcinc;e and hope, for compassion and grandeur, .for courage and visionary self-transcendence-even when pressed against all the walls that oppression hp!:; created. In the annals of our own young nation, no greater repository of such unexpected testimonies to the recreative powers of the human spirit exists than the history of the black struggle for freedom, equality. and social transformation."

Such a change, of course.• would dqastically alter the way colleges decide who to admit.

"It would change things quite a bit," said Gretchen Young, assistant dean of admissicns at Georgia State University.

Young, who says SAT and ACT sc.ores help make fair judgments on potential students' success, predicts GSU would put more emphasis on students' high school courses, averages and extracurricular ac;tivities if test scores were abolished.

Monty Nei'IJ of FairTest contended that. by relying on multiple choice test scores. schools, hoping to prove themselves by amassing high scores, have switched to teaching r.

"In public education, daily work is controlled by multiple choice. We believe it is more important that students understand things such as the scientific method rather than to memorize facts," Neill said.

Hoping to• diminish the importance of test scores that. in turn. could deter some students from applying to certain campus.es. 44 colleges announced in October they would stop reporting the average SAT scores of their new freshmen. They agreed to report only the range of scores.

Babson, Hampshire, Lewis and Clark. and Simmons colleges, Carnegie Mellon; Harvard, Syracuse and Texas Chrhttian universities. as well as the universities of Michigan, Rochester, Tulsa and Washington were amohg the schools that agreed to report ranges of scores,

Shouse also stated. "The night club atmosphere is. to involve all students. It is notjust a black club "

The club has planned dance contests. door. prizes, and ot;her contests, as the best sexy walk and the best dressed. The club hopes to generate money through donations and a cover charge of $1 .00 at the door.

Playoffs Scheduled ...

Davidson Believe·s Lady Cats A Good Bet For HOrne Game

The National Association of ln.tercollegiate Athletics

'cNAllP District 11 playoffs are scheduled for May 10-12 at pmaha.

· Last season, the Lady Cats matched the school's secondhighest win total ever; earned .an. unprecedented fourth C:(>nsecutiv'e post-season t·ournament berth, and produced an impressive 16-4 record at home.

With approximately two weeks of the regular season remaining, Peru State College women's basketball coach Wayne _Davidson said the playoff picture for his Lady Boqcat squad appears pretty certain.

"!think we would have a solid chance to play the first round at home," Davidson said Thursday. "If that's the case, I think we would host Hastings or Midland."

The Lady Bobcats, 15-8 on Feb. 12, are waging a battle with l<earney State for the top Independent spot in Nebraska.

Peru State is currently No. 2 with a 3.04 Krause Kount .rating, while the Lady Lopers

hold the No. 1 spot with a 3. 16 index.

As of Feb. 12, Chadron State, 6- 7, would qualify as tlie third and final Independent team with a 2.16 index rating, and Wayne State, 3-20, was at 1.95

The top three Nebraska Intercollegiate Athietic Conference (NIAC) schools and the top three Independents will advance to the six-team NAIA District 11 i;>layoffs. scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Feb. 27at hJst sites. ·

The No. 1 team from each league, currently Doane and Kearney State, will receive first rourn:;l byes. NIAC teams, however, are seeded based on the final conference standings and not the Krause Kountindex.

Davidson said Peru State's chances of overtaking the Lady Lopersforthetoplndependent spot are slim.

"They're ahead of us enough that you would have to project them No. 1," he said. "At this point in the season. they have such a lead that it's hard to pick up any ground.

uries and Illness Bug Lady Cats...

"Wliat it comes down to is we have to win all of our remaining games. with possibly one loss, and we have to have them lose several times. Maybe three or four on the road."

Kearney State's remaining schedule is favorable, but not a lock. After Peru State, the. Lady Lepers will close out with road games at Briar Cliff, Mount Marty, Sout.hern Colorado, and Cqlorado Mines.

"There's. still a chance, but agair., it's ver:y, very slim," Davidson said. "But there are a couple of possibilities where if they lose several and we win, it could come down to fraction points of deciding who's No. 1."

Peru State plays two of its games, Grand View and Hastings, away from the Wheeler Center. A win against a winning team on the 5-4-3-21-0 scale is worthfive points. A loss would be worth just one point.

Peru State has been the No. 1 ·independent each of the past two seasons. Last year, the Lady Bobcats wound up as the. · District runner-up with a 23-9 ledger and 1;heir liighest'postseason finish ever.

As They Near District Playoffs

By. E?hil Davidson

The toughest t;est for Peru's Lady Bobcats may not be their qpponents: it might be sickness and injuries. Six members of the Lady Bobcats' varsity squad have been sick or injured as the team prepares for district play.

Injuries were evident as Peru traveled to Kearney on Feb. 3 to challenge the Lady Lopers. A good Kearney pre.ss and domination inside from the Lady Lopers' big people, combined with Peru's injuries, led to a 75-38, victory for the Lopers. Coach Wayne David-

son stated, "We did not look lik.e ourselves. It was the first time we got blown out all year, and I think il\iuries•.f".ad something to do with it.

Witli the Kearney _game ,_behind them, the Cats are looking ahead ·to games that will help get them ready for districts, including a Feb. 13 rematch with Kearney, and also games with Grandview. Briar Oiff, and Hastings. Coach Davidson stressed that all of these games are important so ·that we are playing well as we go into districts.

Wlien asked what the keys were as the Lady Bobcats heade.d down the .home stretch, Coach Davids.on said, "We. have to continue to get excellent play from Dawn Carlson and Liz Jessen, as well as get our other players healthy."

With three games left, Davidson concluded, is important that we get excited and play basketball the way the Lady Bobcats can."

ATHLETIC FEE--CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1----------------·-·-------·

Student concerns were directed at the accessibility of these facilities to all students. In response, Dean Joy expressed his agreement that at times, recreation facilities could become congested. By getting the spring teams out of the AWAC and onto their own field, however, a lot of that problem could be alleviated, he said.

Groff al_so sai.d that people who hqve their application in by May 1 will "definitely receive priority" when work-study jobs are assigned. She said college work-study is funded by a certain amount from the federal government, which is matched by state funds. Groff stated, "Once the money· is gone, it's gone."

Some discussion was made of transforming the old gym into a running track witli handball and basketball courts, but these changes would come further i'nto the future., according to Dean Joy. \

Another 11Jajor issue of providing money for the staffing 'ot:such programs was brouglitCIP', Dean Joy again said that sucli concerns wovld be dealt within the future.

Brett Richards, and Brad Thompson, who combined for six three pointers in the half. Even so, the Ravens were able to take a 49-45 lead behind the shooting of Jason Wyrick and Pat Giller, who Gibbs says is "practically unstoppable," and is "as good an offensive player as we've faced."

The second half started in much the same way, as the lead changed hands several more times, but with 10:09 left Bill .Richards hit a three-pointer to give 'p5c a 78- 75 lead. The Cats never again looked back. as the inside game of James Bell, Rod Frederick, and Todd ·McGowan, along with some big foul shots, shut the door on Benedictine.

Gibbs was pleased with the offensive play but said that the Cats still need to play defense and rebound better. He cited Bell for his inside play, which the Cats had missed the past two games C10 points, 11 rebounds), as well as Brett Richards (11-17, 32 points, six three pointers), and Frederick (9-12, 20 points, 8 rebounds) for all having outstanding games. Other important stats include Crumpton ( 16 points, 4 rebounds), McGowan ( 13 points', 5 assists), Thompson ( 13 points. 5 assists), Bill Richards (5 points, 5 assists), and Marc Crocket (2 points, 1

block). The Ravens were led by Giller's 31 pts. and Wyrick's 20.

Work ... and Play

By Russ Waring

The signs

· across campus stated that "The Bobcats want you" to come to the Benedictine game, ar'id if you happened to be on hand for it, then you saw what coach. Gibbs called "a barnburner."

The Cats shot 59.6 percent from the field;. knocked down some clutch free throws, and

turned the ball over only eight times on the way to a 111-105 victory over a. Raven team that had won six straight. The first half S?W the Cats jump out early, but the lead exchanged hands all half long, as both teams were hot from outside.

The Bobcats got most of their scoring form the outside bombing of Otis Crumpton,

THe Bobcats have four games remaining, probably the biggest which is a home game against Bellevue on Feb. 15, as the Cats battle for tops in district 1 The last two Bellevue games have been decided in the final seconds, which leaves Coach Gibbs and the Bobcats, "Hoping for another good turnout," for what very well could be another "barn burner."

Bobcats Open Season On the Road

The Peru State College baseball team will open a 43game schedule on March 14 with a double-header against Doane College at 1 p.m. (CST) in Crete, Neb.

The Bobcats, 22-1 9 a· year ago, will also meet the University of Nebraska.-Omaha <UNO) on the road before hosting their first home games against St. John's (Minn.) University in twin-bills on March 18 and 19.

Students Say Some Cheating Does Go On

by Cathie English

The Peru State College catalog contains. a Statement on Plagiarism and Oleating on page ·235, but it does not address the issue of disciplinary action by the college for students "caught ir;i · the act." The statement .does give the definition of plagiarism; though, and also states,· "copying.during an examination and the:Use of i.llicit memoranda <e.g. (:rib no't:es) duting • .an exam.i.natjon con$tj.tytes•

• : < \ •.

PSC Vice· President· .William Snyder said that the college did make an attempt at a cheating policy at one time, but said. it was never followed up because it is difficult to write down specific types of discipline for cheating. "The circumstances vary: it is hard to pin down ahead of time," he stated.

requires that the student senate, or a similar body, nominate froni each campus three candidates for consideration by the Governor.

The Board office has asked the current student trustees to initiate the nomination process and work with the student senates · on their respective campuses to secure three ca11didates.

Dr. Snyder said that a cheating policy would ·have limitations because, when a student is caught cheating, it entails a Judgment call on the part of the instructor.

"Basically •. the instructor has latitude in terms of determining the severity of the offense,"he said. Many times the instructor will fail a student for the examination or for the course, he said.

Dr. Snyder also said he believes that cheating is a problem ·on every campus. A number of students, who asked that their names be withheld, said that there is cheating occurring at PSC. One freshman student said tha_t

cheating took place ·in an introductory psychology course. "The tests were multiple choice. and students just wrote down A. B, C, or D from the book, and used them during the test."

A ·number of st.udents said :that a lot of cheating haJ:?pens in the media class.

A senior student stated that there was cheating in ·the classes in his area of study, but he felt that it was prevalent in :the general studies courses.

Mr. Harry Tabata. instructor of business. said that students are forced to cheat because of :the pressure from our society, whether it be in the busienss world or the educational field. "One reason is unless they (students) get A's or B's a lot of prospective employers won't talk to them," he said. Tabata said because of this attitude, there has been grade inflation. "The attitude has changed for employers and students; employers don't want "average" students." he stated

Tabata also said that faculty are partly to blame for the cheating that occurs. "Most · instructors don't give back tests, but some instructors give the same type of test over

Does Anyone Need To Cheat?

by Cathie English

We live in litigious times. Du ring the past week, I learned just how true this statement is. ft is. not easy to gather information on the subject .of cheating. ft is a subject veiled in secrecy. Ambiguity reigns. Instructors want to talk. but they don't want to be Students also want to talk. but they don't want to be quoted, either.

We are creating a society that says we have to be periect.

The discussion of cheating made me begin to think that many of our instructors have Ph.D.'s in diplomacy. In the Jan. 14 Omaha World Herald article, "Colleges Look for Answers to Halt Cheating Problem," James Flanery writes, "Several instructors are said to be reluctant to report incidents of cheating because of the time required to prove it and fear of lawsuH:s."

The fear of being sued has created careful and discrete

individuals in most professions.

The fear of being sued has created and discrete individuals in most professions.

Medical doctors, in particular, obstetricians, pay a high price for malpractice insurance. Most doctors will not testify against a colleague. They have to stick together. Our litigious spirit has reached apoint when even attorneys live· in fear of the lawsuit. Lawyers sued for malpractice? Certainly.

We are creating a society that says we have to be perfect. Instructors should ensure students an "A," doctors shol.Jld save every patient, and attorneys should win every case. I can't say I blame any of the instructors for not ·speaking up about cheating. Perhaps they fear that their amount of liability insurance isn't adequate. Perhaps they wonder if their state education association would r.eally stand behind them.

HOnors Committee

By Dr. Anthony McCrann ·

Once in a television interview

I remember former President Jimmy Carter explaining. how he arrived at the title Why Not the Best? for his autobiography. Carter described an incident from yea rs earlier when he had been a young naval .officer and how during an interview for a position with the nuclear submarine program he had been grilled by the inspecting officer, the imperious, redoubtable Admiral Hyman Rickover. "Have you always done your best?" the Admiral asked. '.'No," Carter answered. "Why not?" Rickover asked. Carter wasn't sure 'why not'; he knew only that he was disappointed in himself, and he resolved to extend himself as far as possible from then on. Students need to ask themselves the same question that Rickover asked Carter.

Extending Yourself

To extend yourself as far as possible--that is the ity the Peru State College Honors Program offers you. You get to work with other students who are wellprepared and highly motivated, an9 you get to engage in a more serious level of inquiry. You will .:>e: recqgnized. a,t. commencement, anc:J your participation will oe noted on your Permanent rec;?rd. Obviously,

Letter to the Editor

After considering all these things, I am still left wondering why teachers, doctors or lawyers •. should be afraid of practicing. the profession they have been trained in. But what if they cheated? .That's a scary thought. If they did cheat, then they should face the consequences. They should be afraid.

As l think these thoughts, I begin to recall my beginning journalism class. I hear the stern words of Dr. Holtz. He1 talked about ethics, malice and' slander. He incited the fear of God in us. I took it very seriously. At the same time, l

...

Dear Editor: Aren't we going a bitfar with the proposal of a $10.00 athletic fee added on to every students school fees?

I agree that $10 from everyone would improve athletic facilities at PSC, and that this program deserves it, but so couldn't such a fee be assessed for the science, art, and library arrangement items which I have already paid for twice. Funding for such things should be covered through the state taxes not continually "added on" for individual items parkil(lg. health, yearbook, etc. The list keeps growing. Besides, 1. thought monies collected through college tuition went into the state general fund and coulp not be earmarked for specific areas/improvements. (Ex: parking fees collected at psc do not stay here for improvement of our parking fas:;ilities.)

I already pay taxes that fund colleges as well as pay tuition. and I don't feel it is fair to single out one program for special funding when all programs would benefit from"·?UCh an arrangement items fo;- which I have already paid for twice. Also, efforts to involve students to stay in Peru on weekends through school-arranged activities. coupled with the reduced number of traditional students enrolled in summer school that would use the new fac.ilities, doesn't seem to warrant the large amounts of money that would be generated by this fee.

being an Honors student will make you more attractive to future employers and to graduate schools.

How To Apply

You apply to the Honors Program through me, the Coordinator. The requirements are listed on page 22 of our current catalog. The program isn't for everyone; you need to have · a good gr3de point average, high class standing, or the requisite ACT score. But if you do qualify, why not try? I would offer a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied except for the fact that this doesn't cost you any more money. And, since most of the courses currently offered are also General Studies options, you won't · wind up accumulating extra credit hours. You can't lose.

Finally, you shouldn't worry about the courses being' more difficult; if you qualify for the program, you.· are honors material. What the courses will be is.,more exciting.

Advantages For the College

What's in it for the college?

Professors find that the opportunity to work. with talented a.nd enthusiastic students in s.malt .c:i.sses stimulates them to stretch themselves as well and to keep their cour.;;e ff"Etsh.

am a little grateful that I rent a home, that I own one car Can '82 Buick with over 150,000 miles); that I don't have a fulltime job, that my personal assests are less than $5,000, and that I owe money on a student loan. As a friend once advise«:i me,· "You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.'' I am lucky.···I can sleep soundly tonight--like a turnip.

Exparids

"UNL credits new Program for rise in freshman enrollment" read a head)ine in the Omaha a few years back. We hope for the same positive result here at Peru. Everyone wins when a college.increases its enrollment of strong students; it feeds on itself; success breeds success.

Where We Stand

Of course, the success of the Honors Program cannot rest upon the shoulders of the students alone. Encouraged by the strong support of the administration during the last year, the Honors Committee has expanded its efforts to create a program of which we can all be proud. We have · witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of course offerings, provided opportunities for students to meet and interact with visiting scholars. ·sponsored a trip to hear· the internationally famous paleoanth ropologist Dr. Richard Leakey, and currently are planning exciting trips and events for. next year. We anticipate that ·the budget for Honors trips and events will be increased, and we are investigating. the possibility of having a special seminar room or lounge reserved for the use of Honors students.

Contiiuad on page 10

Questions: Once the financial need was satisfied (whoever heard of that happening), would the fee be removed (whoever heard of that happening ! ) How else could the money be ra.ised? If there really is so much campus interest, why isn't there better attendance at t.he athletic eveni;s (except by faculty)?

Who wouJd. be designated to oversee the construction of these additi©nal facilities and who would determine what criteria would have to be t.o satisfy the initially stated goals?

Additionally, I am a "thinking person" that still objects to this fee, and the concern I hold for this college as a whole (not my own interest area) has prompted me to. write these comments. If l had known about the previous forum, !would have attended.

B.J. Patterson

Dear Jerry:

It was so thoughtful of you to let me know of ti")e schedule for Women's History Month.

Unfortunately, my scheduler informs me that traveling to Peru to attend one of the events will not be possible. The commitments I have with the Legislature will keep me from what promises to be some exciting events.

Pleasiknow that if my plans change your invitation will be given every consideration.

DRUG & ALCOHOL SURVEY RESULTS

by Gene Engel

As promised, we are going to start a series of articles on the results of the Drug and Alcohol Survey. A total of 14 pages of information is being compiled We have not digested it all at this point, so we will be serving it to you in courses. Consider this week as being your appetizer.

Graph one tells you who P.articipated, and we note that th®se responding to this survey indicated that 61 70/o of the students are working. This compares favor.ably with,last issue's survey on who's working. We doubt if the campus has a ratio of 2.5 females to one ·male. but if that is. true, Admi;,,sions has a real marketable item.

Graph two tells you at what age the residents tws-c used chemicals. We note that the respondents that have never used or experimented range from a low of 10.40/o for alcohol to a high of 99.00/o for steriods. We wish to point out some interesting facts that the average studen.t began to experiment with .Cllcohol between the ages of 12 and 15; however, when we look at experimentation for marijuana .and c;ocaine, we find that tho= Peiii.ks are sor::o.o=""bere.• between · 16 and 25. This fits with the ideas that we just don't sneak down to the .corner supplier arid start with the "hard stuff." The illness of

addiction is a process of growth.

First it's "experimentation" (usually alcohol), then it's "discovery" (Hey, this stuff does something special for me fit in, acceptable. etc.), then "experimentation again," then "discovery" and on and on until the biochemistry of the qody 'is orchestrating the behavior without control.

PSC isn't exactly a mecca for foreign students; there are only a handful of non· Americans enrolled here. One might wonder how they ever heard of Peru State in the. first place. Perhaps. like Wei Hoe Chong of. Brune,i. t;hey have a stateside pen pal.

Wei is typical of many young people in Brunei vyho attend abroad. Brunei is a tiny country located on the northwest coast of·· Borneo off · the Malay Peninisula.

Competition to get into college is stiff, she says, because there are so few postsecondary schools. She is somewhat unusual in coming to the U.S., however.

Australia is actually the country of choice, she says. It is thousands of miles closer: Perhaps more importa'ntly, a diploma from an American school may be viewed suspiciously. The reason, Wei explains, is that fake diplomas ih ·the U.S. cast doubt on the credibility of an American ,education. ·

Despite the drawbacks, Wei decided to come. Nebraska's tuition rate was a big factor, she said, and PSC's proximity to Omaha gave it the edge over Kearney and Cnadr:cm. Having a frienp in the Midwest probably helped, too.

Wei began ·corresponding with her Wisconsin pen pal about five years ago. He

arranged for someone to meet her at the Los Angeles international airport when she arrived last August.

Wei has been used to traveling basically on her own since she was 12. But stepping off that plane in Los Angeles was a whole new experience.

adjµs1;ing, except for one thing. "Food is the problem for me," she says. Americanized rice just doesn't cut it. Unfortul'1· ately. she confesses, "I am a poor cook." So she has added cook book reading to her stamp and coin-collecting hobbies to learn how to prepare her own Chinese-style food.

There are di.fferences besides food, of course. She · comments that people here "shout so much," in contrast to calm and quiet manner she ' grew up

There is also less emphasis on "humbers" in her country. Wei compared her hometown of Miri to Lincoln in size. But she pointed out that there.are no city limits signs announcing the population, so she really isn't sure.

The Student Senate held meetings on Wed., Feb. 14 and 21

The general stµdies recommendations have made secondround approval through the College Affairs Committee. If approved by the Boa rd of Trustees, they will be implemented in the fall of '90.

The Non-residents Scholar Program is being evaluated by the COiiege Affairs Ccimmittee. The program will offer in-state tuition rates to students from beighboring states. The details on the program are still being worked out. Its purpose is to attract students from other states with good academic backgrounds to PSC.

The Student Representative to the Board of Trustees, Cindy Janssen, reported that LB 1141 will be going in front of the State Legislatµre in March. As part of the reorganizationofthe college system in Nebraska, there will be the creation of a local Board of Trustees for each college. ·

As the bill is currently written, the board is to include a student representative who would have a voting right. However, the bill also includes the elimination of all the student representatives that are currently at the state level. F,or more information on this bill, contact Representative Janssen.

She knew trcim 1sion that America was a big place, but she wasn'.t prepared· for the reaJ thing. She admits she was "shQc:ked'.' by the racial mix, something she wasn't used to·. And there were "such tall people!" she laughs.

To add to her confusion, Wei had no idea what her conta<,::t person rooked like,. except th.at he was Asian. They finally found each other in the terminal when she spotted him holding a sign with her name on it.

Now that she's been here for seven months, Wei says she's

Her own family has a pretty healthy "population." Wei refers to herself as being "sandwiched" among her two brothers and foµr sisters. Her father is a building contractor, and her mother is a trapitional hom.emaker.

Will she retu.rn to Brunei <ttter graduation? Pr9!:>.ab1Y· only to visit, \Nei .says. Job opportµn·it!es there are not very promising. She prefers to stay in the U.S. if she can find employment. Her second choice is Singapore. She is hopeful that economic development there will create a demand for compµter science degrees.

As Women's History Month Begins

Congress designated March as "Women's History Month" with Public Law 100•9, passed in March 1987. The purpose is to recognize and Celebrate the many contributions women have' made to our natiQn's history. This year's theme is "Courageous Voices Echoing in Our Lives."

Why women's history? Why a whole: month? Traditional history has tended to focus on the account of men's striving for geographiC, political and economic superiority. Considered within this context, much of his-story liaaves out her-story, viewing women as passive on the of life.

Women's history provides a new perspective for looking at

the past, a perspective which honors the richness and diversity of lives of the many women who came before us. Women of previous generations who have left their mark on our society provide important role models for our· daughters and sons as they endeavor • to envision what their own lives might hold in store.

Womian's history also celebrates the Jives of common women from all walks.of life, women whose everyday struggle for j'iUrvival .in a growing nation made possible the Jives we lead today. It is in the lives of such women, whether grandly eloquent or steadfastly ordinary, that

Racism dies hard Student. Unrest•-Racial Tensions Build

Your Role as Student WHAT IS NECESSARY NOW JS THAT YOU SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY PREREGISTERING FOR HONORS COURSES FOR NEXZ FALL

Four courses are scheduled: 221 Principles of Economics II (section 2); HP 101 TwentiethCentury Issues; 232 Energy (section 2); and PE 1 00 (section 2). We realize that not everyone will be satisfied with this selection; the more successful the program is, the wider the selection will become. Starting next semester, new Board of Trustees Scholars, Presidential Scholars, and Non-Re.sident Scholars will be required to enroll in Honors courses. This will make the program even

•A s1!ronger, •but it wi.H also mean that a larger.gr'.-0up,;Q;fs.tuqents will be competing for. a liri'rited number of spaces. It is, then, incumbent upon you to take Honors courses whenever the opportunity presents itself. At present, to be considered an Honors graduate you need to complete fifteen semester hours in Honors courses. If you begin now, you should have no trouble meeting this requirement; if you procrastinate, you may have problems.

Why Not The Best?

A college s.tands for many things but, most importantly, for aspiration. A strong desire for high achievement, or aspiration, is also the foundation upon which an honors program stands. In an editorial last July the Nebraska City News-Press· described Peru State Colkege as "providing strong leadership for Southeast Nebraska " as a "forum for ideas and culture"; and as an "energy center for the region." That's pretty good, ' I think.

Small Town, Big Success Frederick Is ·'College

By Phil Davidson

When Rod Fredrick first stepped on the campus of Peru State College, he was not sure how he would fa re in basketball at the college level. Being six feet-four inches and ha"'.ing played ce.nter in high school, ROd wondered if maybe he was not meant to be a college player.

Roo led the state in scoring with over 30 points a game his senior year at Trenton, a class D;1 high school in southwest Nebraska. Rod has proved to himself and others that he can succeed at the NAIA level. This se.ason he is averaging 15 points and six rebounds a game for a Bobcat team that has the most wins in the state.

Although he has put up big numbers the last twu years, when he was a freshman, cqach John Gibbs told him that he wanted him to be a defensive player. While his scoring has increased, Rod is still considered one of the top defensive players in the state.

Material"

Rod. is successful off the court as well. Majoring in computer science, he has accumulated over a 3.0 GPA, which is even more remarkable considering he finds it difficult to get lab time with his basketball schedule. Although

including his teammates, who voted him a this year. Teammate Brett Richards said, "I love to play with Rod because he always works very hard, he's team oriented, and he is a great person off the court."

When asked what he thought of his college days, Rod replied, I've had some good times, and college has prepared me to go out and be successful in the business world." Hehasproved beyond a shadow of a doubi: that hard work can have great rewards.

Rod Frederick his study time is valuable, he manages to read and play cards with friends, as well as fish, whenever possible.

Rod ha.s gained the respect of many people on campus,

One of Rod's immediate goals is to advance to the NAIA men's basketball tournament in Kansas Oty. Rod is so pumped up for district play to begin, he has even said he might get a flat-top with his number cut in the back of his head.

Roo's long-term goal is to be a computer programmer, and he is currently looking for a job in the Omaha area. "lfanyonecan find me a job, I'll take it," he says.

Bobcats Lose to Mid-American Nazarene

by Russ Waring

The PSCcageteamfellto 1712 on the year in a loss to the pioneers of Mid-American Nazarene by a score of 78-88, in a ·game on Feb. 20, in the AW AC. The Bobcats had bea.ten Mid-America earlier this year by a score of 85-80.

The Bobcats, who never led in the contest, tightened things up I.ate in the first half. as Brett Richards hit a trey, and Andy Dunlap knocked one down from inside with 1 :33 remaining in the half to close the gap to 34-38. But a pair of three pointers by Pioneers Trent Cole and Bill Elliot made the score 34"44 at the half.

· The second half saw the Pioneer lead grow to 13 (6073), before a three-pointer by Brett and a basket by Brad Thompson · and free throws

from each of them closed the gap to 70- 73.

From there on baskets by Rod Frederick, Bill Ric!1ards, and James Bell kept t:1e Cats close. but Mid-America hit their free throws down the stretch to come out on top.

The Cats hit 50.8 % from the field (28-53, and 5-12 on 3 pt. shots), but only 41.2°'6 from the line (7-17), while the Pioneers shot 57.1% (20-35, and 8-14 from the field), and 70.6% from the line (24-34).

Brett Richards led PSC in with 18 points, followed by Thompson 16. Bell 10, Frederick 9, Dunlap 8, McGowan 7, Bill Richards 3, Crumpton 1, and Milner).

Bell had nine rebounds. and Thompson had six assists to lead the Cats in those categories.

Coach Gibbs said that the offense played well, but that '..'the defense is a big concern going into the playoffs." He stated that the defense was better earlier in the year than.l't has been of late, but that the team has been looking better in practice since the MidAmerica game.

He also said that the Cats have to stay out of foul trouble, something they've had some difficulty doing in the past few gcimes.

Gibbs also said that PSC will probably host Hastings in the first round of the playoffs, but in doing so will take on a.tough task as Hastings has gone to nationals the last two years and has "got to be looking to make the trip again." The same trip the Cats have to be eyeing themselves.

Continued .from page 1 and over," he Tabata said it is the responsibility of the faculty to.chan!;Je the tests.

Dr. Anthony McCrann, assistant professor of English, stated that one way to avoid cheai:ing is to give essay exams. He said that the best way to avoid plagiarism of 'essayS, was to make the students' assjgnments unique and individualized.

According to Tabata. students who cheat throughout their college career are only "kidding themselves." He summed .it up by stating. "they will get caught out in the real world. One of these days, it will catch up to them."

Is Great Equalizer

By Amy Snyder

It's funny how things change when you pack up and go to college.

The transition is subtle. Given the entire span of about five or ten minutes folloW.ing hLgh s,chool graduation, "children" are passed into the world of adulth.ood. For many socially-remedial people, this cnange allows little time for · adjustment. Eventually, however, everyone somehow learns to effectively play this newfound role with skill (or, as many will do their entire Jives. they soon learn how to fake it).

But how does it feel inside? Within 'your head it's not as cut and dried as a simple change of title. You realize thatyou are in college and that you are, no matter how you fight it, becoming closer to being an ac!ult. But what about all the carefree, exdting things that you werfii! allowed to enjoy just yesterday that n,ow show signs of· a lack of maturity? What is praper "adulthood" etiquette and what is stric:j;ly taboo? ·

Fortunately, for th.e sake of those still young at heart.• athletics provide an outlet · for physical, f'!'.lental and vocal tensions without exposing those unwanted childhobd qualities

Take, for instance, the High School State Basketball tournaments. caught up in the excitement of the games, no one pays any attention to h.ow you act, how you dress or How old you are <or are supposed to be). As long as you're cheering for the right tec:tm. the people aroundyou don't care if you.belch, .cuss or use double nfii!gatives.

I think that says something a.bout the way people really are. The idea · of becoming ari ·adult is very exciting right up until the time you turn into one. It's so easy to project ho.w you will act in the future. and even easier to find fault in the way current adults behave. Butwhentheactual responsibilities of adulthood are handed .doWn, there is generally a tendenc·y to shy away and deny the role.

Lookir.g back at .the state · tournament, I see a prime example of this.

In high school. the desire to be accepted as a mature member of society .tends .to dominate the thoughts of girls and guys. What better place than the state's capital city. packed With from across the area. is there to display this ability to act like adults?

Make-up is applied carefully, and wardrobes

Lady Bobcats

by Amy Snyder

The Lady Bobcat basketball team finished off their regular sea son play with. two important victories.

A defeat.of Briar Cliff College Thurs., Feb. 22, at. the Al Wheel.er Activity Cente.r found players and fans on the edge of their seats. ·

Starting out slow, the Lady Cats ended up behind, B6-44 at the end of the first half. The team .sh.at only 4 7 percent from the field and seem.ed to be overpowered by Briar Cliff's ability to move the ball.

Second half proved to .be much more rewarding, however. as the Peru team increased its field goal percentage to 55.3 ·percent. Along with improving · its shooting game, the team responded to Briar Clitf's offensive. attack With a good strong, cons.istent defense, PSC ended ·the game on toP with a score of 6&80.

Conversely, there is the attitude of the full-fledged gr'?wn-up7.

\t\/afking through the doors of the gym and feeling the excitement in the air. a desire to be a kid again and play just "one more game," takes over. Looking back at an over-glamourized athletic career brings many to the opinion that a chance to return to the life of a 17year-old would be better than winning the lottery.

Accepting the fact that winning the lottery is more· probable, thfii!se adult dreamers settle in to watch the games. What better place than the state's capital city, packed with onlookers from across the arec:t Cwh9 • will never see you again)._i:=; there tO. throw caution to the wind and scream and holler like a teenage yell leaqer?·

Aside from the team victory, Thursday night was an important night for one of PSC's seniors. Liz Jessen broke the 1000 career point mark with a total of 27 points during the garhe. Je.ssen also contributed 11 rebounds

Other leaders were Marcia Stevens .•with 18 points ·and Micl1elle Marschman with 1 O rebounds.

Morgan Looks ,To Close Do·ors

"The building is 61 years old, and needs a lot of general improvements," stated PSC President Jerry Gallentine. "Basically, it needs a facelift inside."

Morgan Hall is currently the only wood framed 'structure

Plans to renovate Morgan Hall in the spring of '91, have made PSC President Jerry Gallentine optimistic of future plans for construction on .campus following its completiory.

has been in the planning for four years now There is also a possibility of organizing a private fund drive to raise the money."

As far as future housing on for PSC students

(used by students) standing on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks. This .co1,.1ld present a fire hazard to residents according to Jerry Joy, Dean of Student Affairs at PSC. "We can isolate a fire in Delzell and the Centenial Complex (the all-male and coed residence halls on campus) because they are concrete structures and each room can be sealed off. However. this is impossible in Morgan because of its wood structure."

"We need to the sc'lence building {HoYt Halt). and the College Auditorium," commented Gal.lent:ine.

"Also the Ubrary project needs funding to add an addition onto the southend.''

The ac;ldition to. the library will be paid for by tax dollar's if and when the state legislature approves funding for the project. "We are storing 35,000 volumes out '';.of the building The project

"We are looking (fqllowing the repovation of··Morgai1)· · at ·building some ·aclditional ·apartment-$tyle buildings on campus," stated Gallentine. He went on to add, however, these were just ideas and a lot of things will have to be considered (other than the library) before ahy of these projects can be written down on paper as concrete proposals.

Unfounded... Casey's Coming To Peru

By Merri Johnson and Laura Osborne

rumors to the

contrary, Casey's General Store corporation does plan to open a convenience store in Peru. Talk of the new business · began several weeks ago and has been surrounded by uncerta'inty in recent days.

Michele Goebel, Peru city clerk, said on March 6 she had heard there was some doub:t about Casey's actually locating in Peru, perhaps due to the possibility that the city would annex the property proposed for the sto.re. The site purchased by Casey's is near the south end of Park Avenue, just outside city. limits.

PSC Athletic Director Tom Shea also stated that he had heard a similar story from a. Peru city employee.

But Les Knust. director of ,C:asey's store development, said such talk is "strictly rumor." In a telephone interview on March 7. He

confirmed' that Casey's is committed to building in Peru. Accordir:ig to Knust, the preliminary paperwork is done, and the construction will begin when the weather permits.

Don Lamberti, Casey's chief executive officer, said the store will be operated by the company's corporate office in Des Moines. A manager, assistant manager, and approximately ten other employees will be hired.'

Lamberti stated it is Casey's policy to pire local people. He estimated that the minimum wage for part-time employees would be $4 per hour. He was unable to say if any local contractors would be used in the construction.

The store will sell gasoline and the usual convenience store items, as well as pizza. sandwiches and donuts, ·all made fresh on the premises, Lamberti emphasized.

"The building is okay the w;ay it is," stressed Gallentine. "We are not beiing forced to do ar,:ivthing; these are our own precautionary. measures and gene;raJ., upgr(;lding .gf t:he facility:" ····· · • ·· ····· ·.

Current plans for renovation are expected to cost nearly $1 million over 10 times the cost of the original structure, which wasjus:t under $100,000.

"We want to gut the building, taking out anything that is wood and replacing it," commented Joy. "We would also like to see three major improvements come out.of this project. One, a new 'heating

system; two, renqvation and modernization of the bathrooms; and ,three. if it is feasible, installation of ·air conditioning."

(Gallentine stressed that the air conditioning proposal was high on the'priority list, but was not a given, and that·there may be more important things students could benefit from.)

To gain student opinion on I the renovation project, a committee in Morgan Hall was organized by Dean Joy. This committee. organized the collective qpinions of Morgan re.sidetlts in what they would like to see changed or upgraded. Morgan RD and subcomr;nittee member Angelia 'C'omrriei1ft¥dt ·••1 really h<:lpPY that' admini$tra.:: i tion is taking under consider- ' ation what the students Would like to see changed;"

Schools Failing • In the Work ·p1ace

.,, By Susan Brown

Is the Uni.ted States' edvcationdl system lax in its , concentration on the three R's? If one is to take the word of a recent Wall Street Journal insert on educa·tion·, the ans.wer to this question is a definitive "yes."

The information, gleaned ·from national test scores, shows it is no secret we have youngsters graduating from high. school with grade school skill levels in reading comprehension and basic math. This is shown in college entrance exam scores, also.

The work place can attest.to this undeniable occurre.nce as well. Businesses are finding more often than not, they must " open a little red schoolhouse in your plant or office and you do tr.e work of • the school ••••• open a little red schoolhouse in. your plant or office .and you dQ the. work of the schoolsystem all over again."

Clark Seeks Championship • 1n Trials

By Troy Sed.am

Todd Oark, a PSC freshman, is striving for a national championship in Trials Competition, after finishing second last year. What is Trials Competition, you ask? Oark says, "lt's an obstacle course for motorcycle riders that tests a rider's balance, endurance. and abilities in controlling the brakes, clutch and throttle."

Trials is scored much the same way as golf; the person with the lowest score wins. Clark said, "You score one point each time your foot touches the ground, but you can't have any more than three points as longasyo4 make it through the. 'if you go ou:t of bounds, points are scored against YOU

Trials competition forces the rider to overcome 90 degree inclines, ride over huge boulders, balance li:lcr'oss logs, and turn around in four-foot squares. Qark said, "There are also some different character- · istics about a trials bike. First, there isn't a seat. so the .rider has to stand up. It's also slower .::than most motorcross .bikes but has· a much quiC:ker · acceleration. They also use a Softer tire that .grips rocks better." · · · ·

Oark started riding: motorcycles with his older brother when he was about seven years old. His brother wanted •

to race motorcross; but his father thought it was too dangerous, and asked him if he would like to try trials. Oark's brother started him in the sport at about 13 and started tutoring him. Tocld said, "I owe much of my success to my brother."

Trials riding is comparative to gymnastics in that it requires absolute concentration. · A riderhastohavegreatbalance. ·1 have spent as much as 30 minutes standing on my bike without moving or touching the ground," said Oark. When a rider is out on the course, the tires are his legs, and the brakes and throttle are his nervous system telling him what to do."

Clark said, "You need to be in great 'shape because you have a lot of hills and rocks to climb and quite a few turns .that you have to bounce and pick up your bike to get it turned around inside the tfoundaries. ·Most courses ta.ke from six to seven hours to complete.''By the time you're fihished, you're pretty exhausted."

Oark is a training officer in the Midwest Trials A,ssodation (MWTA), which has members from · Omaha; Lincoln, and Kansas Oty, MO .Oark said a training offic·er helps out younger and less experienced riders.

Two years ago Clark finished

fourth ir::i high school competition and second last year in the support division. He hopes to bring home the gold this year. Todd has nine· national races this.year, the first in Texas c;;t, the end of this month. He will also race in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Illinois, Wyoming and other states.

The Nationalcircuittakesthe riders' best five riders to determine the champion. If Oark wins this. year, he could have a chance. to go to Europe on the national team. If Clark gets picked to go, he would have a chance to ride in the Trials:DeNation, an international team meet where American riders will try to underscore their European adversaries. Oark says that. the European riders are usually pretty good because Trials is more popular in Europe than in.the U.S.

Besides the national meets, Oark also has about 40 other meets to go to, 12 of them in the MWTA Conference. Oark says having a lot of meets will help, since he doesn't have as much time to practice as he did in high school.

cJark runs and trains for the.:meets every day, but he creqits his parents for most of his success. Todd said, "Wi.thout my parents supporting me both financially and emotionally, 1never would have made it this far."

As with any event sponsored by PSC Student Programs, this event is open not only to PSC students, but. citizens of the surrounding·communities. also.

At last year's dance, 50-100 people at the dance weren't PSC students. That number is expected to increase :this year' as Student Programs is making the effort to sell tickets in the high ·Schools of· surrounding towns.

Tickets :are $2 and sold in ·advance or. at the· door. All· proceeds to benefit Special Olympics. ·

Brown Leans on Veterans of Women's Softball

The same players who have done it before in the past decade for the Peru State College softball team will have to do it again if the Lady Boe.cats are to start the new decade off successfully, Coach Larry Brown said.

"We've got some good hitters and a strong pitching staff," said the second-year mentor. "Hopefully, we'll be strong defensively, too.

"l tt:iink "1e can be competitive vyith everybody on our schedule. But that means ot:1r veterans are gping to have. to carry the burden."

Last year, the veterans came through for Brown in his coaching debut at PSC, finishing.with an ledger.

Eight letterwinners ·a'hd six starters returned for Peru State. scheduled· to open the 1990 campaigi:i and a new decade .of softball Tuesday (March 6) at Wayne State.

The Lady Bobcats' strength, ·Brown said, will be pitching. Peru State returns its entire · staff from last season, including right-handers Erin Kri?ti Deleeuw, and Ondy Grossman.

O'Grady, a senior from Council Btuffs, IA. finished 7-9 last spring. with a 2.43 run-average. She is overall in her career, including an 18-16 mark as a freshman C'87) when she earned first• team All-District.

"I look for her to come back with a strong senior year," Brown said. "She draws all the opposing team's top pitchers because she's our lead pitcher. If she wasn't always going up against ;a.No, 1. she would have had a better record last year."

The Lady Bobcats, however, return only one•fourth of their infield. The biggest change will be the double-play combi.nation, which lost shortstop Lynette M;atthews and second baseman Elaine Ferin - a first

team All-American - to, graduation. defensive catcher," Brown said of Peterman, a freshman from Hastings, IA. "And she's starting to hit the ball too. She hasn't played in ov_er a year. but she's got good athletic ability."

Sophomore Bridget O'Neil is scheduled to start at third base again, while Deleeuw is penciled in at first. Brown said sophomore Teresa Frye will get the nod at shortstop, and senior Ann Masters will move from the outfield to take second base.

"I think Bridget is one of the better third basemen in the District," Brown said of the McCook, NE. native. who was second on the team last year in batting «.346) and hits (37).

"Kristi will be a great player as well now that she's going to play more regufarly at first."

Deleeuw, a second-team AllDistrict pick last season who led Peru State with 23 runsbatted-in, rotated between pitcher, catcher, and first base.

"Teresa Frye. is going to be a good one, too, I think," Brown said. "She has good range and a strong arm. Ann <Masters) isn't blessed with a lot of natural talent, she's just a bluecollar worker."

Masters' position change leaves a hole in the outfield,. which returns sophomore Kim Horsham in left, junior Kelly Tynon in right.

Horsham, from Wahoo, NE, earned .second team AllDistrict as a rookie. She batte.d .307 .and had 15 RBl's in the leadoff spot in the order.

Diane Pokorny, a freshman from Bellwood. NE, and a.member of the Lady Bobcat basketball te;arri, will the vacant centerfield spot, Brown said. · •

"We shoul.d have a good outfield as well," all have. pretty good speed and good-gloves."

Tami Peterman, a varsity member of the PSC volleyball team last fall,-will start behind the plate.

''She's a really good

"We must stay away from injuries," he said. "We don't ha.ve the numbers and consequently, we don't have very s.ubs.

Brown said the L;idy Bobcats' practices have been encouraging.

68305 274-554.6

A key to the Lady Bobcats' success, Brown· says, will be staying healthy.

"Last year we didn't have anybody hurt all year. That's the way it has to be this year, too."

"l think we're on par with last year's team," he said. "Not having the numbers to work with has some advantages too. Vougetmore<:iccomplishedina shorter amount of time." iii

Fredericks, Richards, Jessen-AH-District ·

Three Peru State basketball players were named to the NAIA All-District team th;s past week. Rod Frederick, a six-foot four-inch' senior forward, and Brett Richards, a five-foot :teninch junior guard, were na'med

from Peru State. Chadro9 State, Concordia. Dana, Doane, Hastings, Kearne!y' State. and Wayne State. Bellevue College fields only a men's team.

Frederick, who became a starter this year, was the Bobcat's second-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder.

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game."

For some time now I have diligently believed in this quote. Everything in life, as I see it, should be rewarded for what was learned from an ex· ,._,, perience,_ or for how hafd the person involved tried, or just for how much fun it was.

Unfortunately. ·the way it turns out, we usually break things dpwn into two· categories: of winning and times. of

During the course of a basketball season, wins and losses are easily recorded. You either have the most points at .the end of the game, or you don't. It's a case of simple math, and it's figured the same regardless if the team is NBA or city rec.

But there are many other dc:curre·nces in life that are not this cut and dri.ed. Just when you think you're up by at least ten or 11 points.life sometimes

puts on a full-court press that stops you in your tracks.

At times'like these, the line between victory and defeat can become pretty clouc;ly. Everyone handles such a setback differently, but the first response is usually thoughts of injustice. At this stage, it doesn't seem fair. How can you be expected. to compete when life comes with no. rule book?

The answer is that you can only use what you've previously learned about the game, and now you know a · little more. Not only will you be better· able to handle such situations yourself, but you will ' also be equipped to help out the next person that goes through it.

Another hard ·thing to deal with is a feeling of confusion when you try to sort out the , overall picture. On the surface, ' it may appear that the only ·outcome is severe. loss. It is ' important at this t9

remember the good things you received by Jetting yourself be committed in the first place. It's easy to tell yourself that next time this grief can be avoided by not becoming involved. Isolation, however, is a sure loser.

The way to win is tp evaluate. all the gains that were made before the grief hit. lf being involved made you happy just once. or built your selfconfidence, or taught you something about yourself, then you are clearly a winner.

Loss is a hard thing for everybody. Nobody gets used to it, and nobody likes it. ft is of life though, and rule booK or no, it has to be dealt with.

The best thing to do .is let yourself feel it. After your emotions have had time to adjust, your head dm start working on a solution. Find strength in other people, a!)d; always •remember that even•,;} life can't keep a l?ress forever.

As noted by Dr. Spencer Davis. who chair:eQ the Summer Committee on Education. the teachers of the various required courses will be the first to feel the effei:ts 9f the new requirements. They ·will. in many instances, need to revamp theirteaching methods

Committee Additional Recommends· Student Fee

by Cathie English

On the heels of the athletic fee addition to student fees comes the recommendation of yet another fee. Computer committee members Dr. Victor Ferre Dr. Daniel Holtz, Mrs. Gail Hytrek, Mr. Mark Fegan, Mr. Kevin Cosgrove, and Mrs. Linda Staples, have recommended a computer fee to raise funds to employ computer lab .coordinators and lab assistants.

Dr. William Snyder, vice president. said that student fees at PSCare well belowthose of other colleges. According to the PSC 89-90 catalog, the student center fee. programs fee and health fee total $63:50 for a semester. According to the 88-89 catalogs of Kearney State and Wayne State, the comparable fees total approximately $75 and $160, respectively. At UNI,.., ing to the 89-90 catalog, the university program and facilities fees are $1 24 for students taking 7 credit hours \or more. UN L catalog also stated there other special lab and special services fees.

Dr. Snyder said the new

computer fee would raise approximately '$20.000. He stated, "We would hire three peep.le to manage and' supervise the computer labs; the two labs in T J Majors and the lab in the Hoyt 5cie(1Ce Building." He said that in addition to the managers. the college would hire lab assistants. Snyder added that students would be hired for these positions and that the managers could possibly do an internship.

Snyder said that having managers and lab .assistants would increase accessibility to the computers. "l he labs would be open four hours on Saturday and Sunday plus be open every evening." He said that it will be ir,;iportant to keep the labs open because freshmen will begin taking composition classes on tt1e computer next fall. Snyder said. "Rewriting on word processors makes it easier for students to use the best method for writing. so we will feel more pressure to keep the Jabs open."

Maturity In Question Students' Right to Vote Challenged

by Merri Johnson

For anyone who has not yet heard the news, the voting age is about to be raised. to 35. Or maybe 66 would be better. That's how old State Sen. Lorraine Langford is. and she seer.is to be Nebraska's resident expert on the topic of when individuals become mature enough to have voting privileges.

excu-u-u-se me! I'm 37, and I'm still in the process of raising my children. I can't wait to finish the job and automatically become as wise as the Senator.

It's true tha.t parenthood gives one a perspective that non pa rents.· can't fully appreeiate. But many people never have children. Is their judgement forever impaired?

According to Langford, supporters of student voting rights are all about 25 years old, and presumably still. wet behr,,d.the

She vJrote off the supporters' arguments with such sage remarks as. "They haven't raised children." Well, ( can't wait to finish the job and automatically become as. wise as the Senator.

The Senator's futher assertion that the "18-20 yearold prob9bly makes the worst decisions in the world," is a tad unfair. I don't know if any research exists documenting the relationship of age to bad decisions, but there is plenty of evidence in the news that increased age doesn't equate with smarts: the S & L failures, the Iran-Contra scandal, and the national debt are not the fault of 18-20 year-olds.

Langford appears to be a victim of youth phobia. One would think' the issue here is giving complete control of our campuses to the student body. We're talking about one student on a six-member boan:if. one student the caliber

The Senator's further assertion is that the "18-20 year-old probably the worst decisions in ttie we>rld."

Jannsen has maintained a 3.99, GPA. earning membership in Alpha Chi, the honorary scholastic fraternity. She holds responsible positions in addition to that of student representative on the Board of Trustees; she also serves as a voting member of PSC's Student Senate and is currently state president of Phi Beta Lambda, the business student fraternity.

I agree with the Senator that having an odd number.of voting boa rd members is preferable to an even number that could result in deadlocks. But a better solut;ipn to that problem would be to add another member.

Senator Langford has. already apologized for insulting students by het: remarks. Now she should go one step farther Jnd admit the lack of logic in her own reasoning.

Kissing-Miss Pen.elope Climactic

Dormitory Vandalism Ups Education Costs

by Amber Fabry

The students of Peru .State College should be commended. They have done a greatjob of walking on the sidewalks instead of the grass and have treated our campus like the beautiful place it is. There is only one problem: the residence halls.

The residence halls are sometimes vandalized· by students who think it's a "great gag" or"a lot of fun." Well. why not? It's not going to hurt them if the legs are broken off a couch in <:of' loung·e, or many of the easily accessible" supplies ar;e ignorantly wasted, right? Thisl is entirely incorrect. What the majority of the students living in residence halls don't realize is that, although Peru State College is state-funded, the residence halls are not.

When a window is broken or similar vandalism occurs. the students responsible feel that they are getting away wtth something becaus19 they don't have to pay for what they've done. This is a misconception common among students. The' reality is: in the long run, they are paying for it. Actually all.<t)f the dorm residents pay forjt;, Statistics show that. exhausts a large sum of monE?Y year for dorm afilce.

Every semester, during fee payment week, students pay various costs such as the Student Center fee, food service meal plan. and health fee. Among these are the dorm fee and deposit. For those of you who don't know. these two fees pay for the residence halls; the state of Nebraska does not.

So, in light of the fa...:ts,· the· only solution is that students should take resi ionsibility for their actions.

Biggest Entry Level Since 1985

The District History Day Contest held at PSC on Fri..• March 16 was a roaring success. The sixth annual contest drew its biggest entry level since its inception in 1985.

Over 50 students from · Sterling High School, Conestoga Public Schools and St: John's Sc:hool Jn Plattsmouth participated in this year's contest.

In addition to winners in the five categories (historical

paper, individual project, group project, individual performance, group performance. individual media performance and group media presentation), an overall winner was selected from among the entries of graduating seniors to receive a oneyear tuition waiver to. PSC.

Chris Waddle, a senior at Sterling High School, was awarded the scholarship for his individual project.

The 7.th Annual Distrjct History Day Contest is tentatively scheduled for Fri., March 15, 1991. The theme will be "Rights in History." The contest is open to grades 5 through 12 in Cass, Otoe, Nemaha, Johnson, Pawnee and Richardson counties.

From The. Other Side Of The Desk ...

· by Kent Propst

Today's lesson is on "organization."

·· Now, those of you who know me will ask--and rightly so-"What the heck does he know about being organized?"

A valid question, since my office on a good day looks like an· advertisment for the Fire Hazard Hall of Fame. Some of the finest custodial staff around have struggled mightily, only to be defeated by a force beyond comprehension: The Propst System of Organization. · -

It's an incredibly simple plan,. really, and one that might even • work for you. (If it !;:Ices, I suggest you seek professional help immediately). ··

The secret, in a word: stacks.

The key is stacks of materials cnat have a similar theme. Forget the old inbox/outbox plan, or file cabinets. Just get lots of de,sk and table space, and start stacking, · "Diabolically clever," you say. how does it work?"

"Work?", I reply incredulously. "You mean it's s'posed to work? l thoughtjust having a plan was a triumph." ·

Actually, somefimes it does work. (Well, okay, maybe no:t--but itmight!). I walkintb my office in the morning, anxious to get to work. (I'm one of those bizarre and rare "morning people.") I eye my sfacks. I get into my. "blank notebook'' stack and get one out. Then I get into my"black" or blue-ink pen that actually works" stack and grab a writing utensil.

I then dive (sometimes literally, if it's big enough) into a stack. It doesn't matter which one. I carefully search through all the materials in the stack, r:naking a random list of "things to do."

When finished, I get another blank piece of paper from my appropriate, aforementioned stack, and revise that "things to do" list into a "things to do in order of priority" list.

I do the same thing to each and every stack. When I'm done, I have between 11 and 39 "things to do in order of priority" lists, depending on the ryumber of .stacks on my desk. (Obviously, I have fewer stacks on hand when the State Fire Marshall is around campus.)

Since my desk and table are always covered with stacks, I take my lists someplace else (now ·that I'm in an. office with. no carpet, my tile floor works fine), and make my famous "Comprehensive, in order of priority, things to do list."

By this time, it is usually about 2:10 p.m and I am exhausted.

So. I call in my secretary anc;I say."Jackie, what do I need to get done today?"

She tells me. I do it. ·

This system is you have that one key ingredient: an organized, efficient staff

Try the Propst Plan. And remember, you saw· it here first.

BETWEEN THE LINES ' Not ·Required

by Gene Engel

The grass is getting green, the birds are singing, the flowers are beginning to emerge, and a young person's thoughts turn to,_·_____

You don't need a c 1.:>Jlege degree to fill in that· blank. The problem is not the answer. The problem is. "How fulfilling a relationship \II/ill I be able to have?"

By reviewing 'j:he resu.lts of our recent survey, we might be al::S!.e to give you a few clues as to whether your expectations \llfill be met. If you are a female and hoping to find a male that doesn't presently drink, yoµ pave .a one-in-three i:hanc.e of finding Mr. Right. If you're a male, you have a one•in·two chance of finding Ms. Nice. If you would like to have a relationship with Mr, Moderate, you'll have a chance of finding him,. and for you guys, the chances are the same of finding Ms. Middle-of-the-Road. If y9u're looking for a challenge in your mate selection, and you're female. you have a one-in-three chance. of finding Mr. Problem,· and for you fellows. it's a one-in-five chance.

The problem is compounded with alcohol. This predisposed condition makes you susceptible to seek out the more challenging type affiliation. People· that come from homes where "better living through chemistry" was.the rule, generally believe that they have the capacity of cause, contrpl and cure a person's dependency, none of which is true. They've been taught that living on the. edge is the norm, aQd they seek out that type of partner. A friend of mine describes an. alcoholic relationship this way, "We don't have relationships, we take hostages. and come in heat from time to time."

If you were raised in a dysfunctional home. and don't want to carry that baggage into the family that you hope to develop, there is help available. Yes, we do have an equcation and prevention program on campus, and there is something you can do. It is in your power to break the cycle, and you can experience all of the folfowing promises You'll know a new freedom and happiness. you'll not I/egret the past nor wish to shut the door on it, you'll compreheod the word serenity. your' whole attitude. and· on, life. will and you'll intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle you.

The suspension of the weekly paper is set to start March 28, but university

.lawyers are going to decide whether the suspension is legal, said Millersville Vice President for Affairs Gary Reighard.

, "Because of the importance of the matter, we will take the recommendation of the Senate t::efore the. legal counsel to be certain that a·re no' violations of the U.S. Constitutiqn and the freedom of speech amendment," Reighard said.

Many have already decided the is illegal.

"To cease pwblication," said Journalism Prof. Paul Belgrade, "is beyond the right of anyone."

"It sort of bothers me tt;iis is student-9n-student," added Snapper adviser Ralph Anttonen, "and I find it very to have students trying to stifle others:"

"It was wrongdoing by the MillersviUe. University Student Senate to susp·end the newspaper," said Charles Williams, president of the Black Student Union.

Yet student government member Kathy Rinino said the journalists deserve the 5tt..lspension.

"We are ner:e to be ec:lucated," sh.e toid the Intelligencer Journal. the local paper. "We are not '1ere to be on a newspaper."

Nearby campus papers, including those at Franklin and

Marshall College and Elizabethtown College, have offered to helpThe Snapper print during the suspensions.

Trustees Give Approva.I

Lo.wer tuition rates for top out-of-state students attending PSC and higher room and board rates for on-campus students were okayec;I March 16.

The Boa of Trustees of the Nebraska State Colleges approved both programs du.ring their regular monthly meeting; held in Lincoln.

The average hike in room rates at PSC is 5.38 percent, while the meal plan increase averages 7. 1 7 percent.

Returning students living in PSC residence halls will not face increases because PSC has a staggered rate allowing continuing students to pay the same rate they paid when first coming to PSC.

For example. a cur.rent freshman paying $560 per semester to live in W.N. Delzell Hall will pay that same rate

next year. An incoming freshman next fall will pay $605 for the same room.

Trustees okayed a nonresident scholars program for Peru, Wayne and Kearney State O:>lleges for next fall. Oiadron State. has had such a program for the past .'two years.

Under the plan. students from states adjoining Nebraska and who meet one or more of three criteria can attend PSC for resident <in-state) tuition rates.

The Board heard a report from Dr. William Snyder, PSC vice president, on the newly revised general education program, which contains new requirements for a bachelor's degree.

Trustees gave their okay to Dr. Gal!entine's request to seek proposals from architectural

firms forthe·renovation of Eliza Morgan Residence Hall, PSC's on-campus women's dormitory. Peru officials ar'e hoping to completely renovate and modernize the 60 yeat-old facility within the next two years.

Dr. Gallentine reviewed · recent activities on the PSC campus, including Women's History Month events; the PSC High School Business Contest. which drew over 500 participants in February; and the. formation of a campus recycling committee.

He also mentioned Febr- · uary's Piano Extravaganza. involving over 90 area pianists; basketball coach John Gibbs' charity free throw event; and the presentation of 13 papers by PSC science students in professional journals and/or meetings.

High School Jazz. Clinic Sat.

Fifteen jazz bands will be involved in PSC's 16th annual Jazz Band and Competition on Sat., April 7:

·Antonio J. Garcia, coordinator of jazz studies and assist.ant professor of music at Northern Illinois University, will serve as guest clinician, noted Larry Van Oyen. director of tbie PSC Jazz Band Clinic.

An alumnus of the Eastman School of Music. his works have been recorded by jazz ensembles on Mark Records. He has been honored by ASCAP and the Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival, meriting a

commission from agencies affiliated with the National Endpwment for the Arts.

As a freelance trombonist, bass trombonist or pianist. he has performed with ·over 70 nationally-renowned artists including Ella Fitzgerald and the New Orleans Symphony.

Spring is f1ere · with spring comes .the fifth annual Delta Sigrrfa Phi Towrnament. The tournament has seen tremendous success in .the past few years, growing from only about 60 entries to almost· 300 each of the past two years.

The s1..1ccess has come from involving businesses in. the tournament. Tw0 years .ago the fraternity sought donations from local businesses for weekly prizes for high game and high series for men's and women's competition. Something new this year: id; a $25 cash prize for overall high game and high seriesJn the first

·of competition.

9-pin tournament rules make it easier to ge,.t higher scores. A strike can be obtained the traditional way or by, knocking. · down nine pins on the first ball. Another difference is that the bowle"'never has to pick up a split: A split on the first ball is automatically scored as• a spare.

The tournament is held in cooperation with· Aub.urn Lanes. The tournament started on March 31, and runs for five straight weekends, ending on April 29. Bveryone \s invited to Auburn Lanes to join in the fun.

Tl:le 1989-90 Student si:nate Banquet was held Wednesday · Man:h 28 at Wheeler Inn in Auburn. The banQuetwa$ attended by administration, present and newly elected Senate membe!\s and their families and friends. "'

President Kelly Tynon down the gavel to newly elected Pi-esident: Amy Snyder. Tynon reflected on the goals set and attained by the 1989-90 Senate members. All members were presented with a certificate of appreciation for their service and dedk:ation to PSC.

The Scroll of Service Award was presented to Jill Grancer and the Student Senate Scholarship to Kim Vrtiska.

The Scroll of Service Award is presented to a senior who has shown leadership qwalitiesand contributed to the betterment of PSC. The Senate scholarship is awarded to a Senate member who has contributed "extra" time to Senate. Both of these awards are voted on by Senate members.

The new Senate members began their duties on Wed April 5.

Out-Of-State Equality

Top students from states adjacent to Nebraska who .attend PSC will not only find it rewarding, but they will also be rewarded, PSC President Jerry Gallentine announced.

Those students from Iowa. Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota who qualify will pay the same tuition rate as Nebraska residents, starting this fall.

·The savings could be significant. Gallentine noted.

For example., Nebraska· residents attending PSC currentjy pay $38.50 per credit hour, .while non-resident students pay $62.50.

Over a college career in which 125 hours at minimum is needed for a· college degree, students could save $3,000 or more.

Only those students whci meet one or more of three

criteria are eligible for. the program, Gallentine pointed out. ,A.nd they must c_ontinue to meet high standards to stay in the program throughout their college careers.

Stwdents must either have a cumulative 3.5 high school grade point average on a 4.0 scale, or rank in the top fourth of their graduating class, or achieve a composite score of 24 on the ACT Test or 530 on the SAT Test.

PSC hopes the pro9r:am will increase the cultwral diversity of its student body. enhance occupancy in college residence halls. and ,increase the number of students with top academic abili1;y; Gallentine said.

Kim Vrti!?ka 's Stu ent Senate colleagues awarded him the Senate sCholarship for dedk:ation at its recognition"' banquet on fV1al'\:h 28. ThE! outgoing Senate viCe president is a worthy recipient· qf the honor.

·Even during the "off weeks," it wasn't unusual to find Vrtiskci spending 20-25 hours per week. planning other events. like the !::mmy Gifford Road Show. basketball tournaments and noon-time magic sh0ws.

Admittedly, some of his drive comes from a need to. be "on the move all the time." He may acquired that trait from his parents His father, Floyd Vrtiska. farms near Table Rcx:k and serves in appointive positions on numerous boards. ·His mother, Doris, is village clerk and a former teacher.

Public service could be in his future. Vrtiska'" hints, although right now the senioreducation/ coaching major is preparing to teach at the elementary leveL ·He will student teach next fall.

''Business or Education" Job Op·portunities ln Y<>u..r J:ield?

The Senate vice president is automatically chairman of student programs committee, and that means a lot of behindthe-scenes work.

Spring Fling Week in March was his biggest challenge, Vrtiska .says. He estimates that he spent 40 hours th21t week' alone on program committee activities. And those 40 hours didn't include the time he put into soliciting monetary support from area merchants for .the week's events.

Vrtiska doesn't come across as the. high-powered, takecharge type, but he gets results. His individual efforts raised over $1 ,000 for t-shirts and door pri;zi:!s. as well as free pop and· snacks for the .Clul: Coca-Cola dao:e:

Vrtiska originally came to PSC on a track scholarship, Unfortunately, the track program was dropped the next year for lack of funds. The situation was so bad, he says, "We looked like ragamuffins when we went to meets" in uniforms that didn't match.

Not surprisingly, Vrtiska supports the recently recommended athletic fee as a necessary means of attracting more students. He says PSC's lack of athletic programs and facilities is not the norm, and PSC is disadvantaged because of it.

Vrtiska's honesf appraisal of PSC's shortcomings. demonstrates his ability to serve with dedication and still · r.'laintain objectivity. It is an ability that will serve him well in his career goals.

Rightfielde r toReturn Errors·· Cost Cats Wins

PSC starting rightfielder Jeff Paulson was expected to return from an injury this week, according to baseball coach Paul Wyczawski.

Paulsor1/ a ·Sophomore from Council Bluffs, IA, suffered a badly sprained ankle after falling down a flight of stairs at his home two weeks ago.

Paulson hitting .322 this season, did not play but was present on crutches for PSC's March 27 15-9, 7-0 losses to Bellevue College at the Auburn Legion Field.

In his· place, Wyczawski platooned junior Ken Hatten, a starting pitcher, and sophomore Olad Erickson. normally a' pinch-runner specialist. The.two combined.to go O-for-5 against the Bruins with four;. strikeouts.

Paulson is a key hitter in the Bobcat lineup, usually hitting clean-up or fifth.

We've had a little adjusting to make," Wyczawski said. ,,'I've moved Todd Merical into the No. 4 hole, and Bret Fritch, who had been hitting seventh or eighth, has been moved into the No. 5 hole.

"Because he (Paulson) has only beer:i out for a short while, it's hard to tell whether we'll stay the same or shuffle some more."

Although Paulson has struggled somewhat this season offensively, Wyczawski said the BObcats will still miss his bat. As a freshman, Paulson was a pleasant surprise when he hit .376 in 31 games, and scored 26 runs.

"I don't know if the other people who will be playing that spot-> can hit as well or any betterthen he," he "He hasn'tgotten untracked yet this season. Basically, he has showed good contact at the' plate, but just hasn't had the hits fall for him."

''I've always contended, if:, a player keeps making good contact, sooner or later it's got to start dropping. It's just a -tatter of persevering."

With Paulson hobbled, the BObcats will also lose an arm from their pitching staff. The Lewis Central graduate is 1-1 with a 3.86 earned-run-average CERA) in 7.0 innings.

all the rain we've had now, we wouldn't have used him 9\JiC?h amYV\'i'IY, '' Wyczawski •said •. " lf:we only play two. games h.i.;,re ·and two games the.re, we'll go back to our rotation. But if we have games rescheduled and end L'P playing two or three double-headers in a row. then we're going to need his on the mound.';

The PSC baseball team picked up a couple of wins over spring break to move their record to 5-7 as of March 24.

The BObcats went 1-3 during a four-game series with School of the Ozarks (Point Lookout, MO) on March 21 and 22 and earned a double-header split with St. John's (MN) University on March 18.

During two games with College of the Ozarks on March 22, the Cats rallied to score four runs in th.e top half of the seventh inning to post a 9-8 win in the night cap.

hitter Steve Shaw drove in two runs with a base hit, while second baseman Shawn Semler and centerfielder Kevin Heller both supplies RBI singles to highlight the PSC comeback. School of·the Ozarks wen the opener, 9-1, though, after sweeping PSC 10-5 and 6-3 on ' March 21 PSC Coach Paul Wyczawski said, "It was a trip, unlike the first one we made earlier this year, where we didn't play as well as we could have. Probably the. biggest factor was our defensive lapses. Wedidn'tappeartoplay aggressively at all."

PSC committed nine errors-five of whic,h came in the 9-1 setback--in the four games tombined, and Wyq:aski said the Cats didn't execute properly.

He did, however, praise the efforts of PSC's pitching staff.

Gibbs Awards 11 Varsity Letters

PSC men's basketball coach John Gibbs has awarded varsity letters to 11 members of the 1 989-90 Bobcat basketball team.

Junior guard Brett Richards and senior forward Rod Frederick, both named to the All-District team this season, head the list. Richards, a twoyear letterman since transferring from Bellevue College, averaged a team-high 21 .4 points per game and shattered the school single-season threepoint record with 125 field goals. Frederick, a four-year recipient, enjoyed his best season with career highs of 15·;5 points and 6.9 rebounds, while shooting a team-leading 54.9 percent from the floor.

The BObcats, who finished the regular season as.the No 2 Independent team in the NAIA District 11 , earned the right to host Hastings College in the opening round of the playoffs for the second straight year, posted the third-highest win total in Gibbs' nine-year tenure with. a 17-14 ledger.

The of letterwinners by , including position. and highschool in includes:

"We had some pretty good pitching ou.t of a number of different guys," he said. "Ken Hatten did a nice job. He only walked two and was around the strike zo.ne the whole time."

Wyczawski also said Mike Fitzpatrick did a nice job of pitching and that Rich Huff threw resonably well too.

In the games with St. John's, PSC won the first game 8-4, while the Johnnies claimed the nightcap 13-4 at Auburn Legion Field.

In the first game. shortstop Darrell Berry sparked a four-

run sixth inning with his twoout, bases-loaded walk. PSC second baseman Shawn Semler then drove ·in Phil Burlingame tq make the score 6-4, and the Johnnies committed an outfield error to score two more runs for the final margin.

Freshman pitcher Mike Fitzpatrick earned the victory in relief of starter Mike Starner.

In the nightcap the Johnnies out-hit the Cats 10- 7 and capitalized on sixPSC miscues.· Junior pitcher Rich Huff, 0-1 , took the loss.

March Games Rescheduled

The PSC baseball team has rescheduled a pair of doubleheaders which were postponed in March due to bad weather. Head Coach Paul Wyca\,Nski announced.

The Bobcats, who were rained out March 14 at Doane, \Nill make up the District games with the Tigers on May 3 at 4 · p.m. at Ci"ete.

State Poet Charms PSC

by Joan Hazard

William Kloefkorn, Nebraska's State Poet, charmed his audience with his poetry and his personality on Thursday evening, April 5, in PSC's Benford Recital Hall. The event· was sponsored by the college's English Club.' lub president Cathie Engllsh introduced the poet to the 200 students, faculty members and area.residents in attendance.

Kloefkorn's subject ma.tter ran the gamut from observing a deer drinking at evening to giving step-b'y-step in.structions for making his mother's potato soup, or from recalling the strange pain Of parting with a cherished pocketknife to demonstrating thata poem written in iambic tetrameter--in this case, Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"--can be sung to the tune of "O Tannenbaum."

Speaking of writing, Kloefkorn ot .s.erved that "a lot of poems come out of first experiences." And he said, too, that for everyone there are words which are always fresh, some of them for him being "milk," "fingertips," \quilt," and "breath."

PSC student Bill Panec commented afterward that "you felt you were really seeing all the stuff he talked about"

There are 12 volumes of Kloefkorn's poems in print, and his work has b,een included in a num!Qer' if the nation's prestigious poetry journals. ·

Kloefkorn teaches English at Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln.

Procrastinators Meet The Challenge

by Dawn Bowsman

To put off intenti,ehally and habitually. Sound familiar? That's what Webster•s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines procrastinate as. My mom calls it laziness. I call it

For one thing, challenging sounds better than the other two, and if you think about it, it's true. Anyone cm1 write two ten-page term papers. write 20 summaries of .20 different magazine articles; write and gi.,1e.eight five-minute speeches. and,.in the meantime, do all of the regular weekly homework in four months. but it takes skill, brains, !'md experience to do all of the above in just three That's only 10 short days to us procrastinators because we never study on the weekends.

"How do procrastinators do it?" you may be asking. The answer is easy; it's the stress.• the. pressure, the all-night study sessions that get the procrastinator's blood pumping and adrenaline flowing. ·

Waiting to the last minute brings out the competitor in all of us. We're racing against the clock. trying to get our work in at the last possible second.

Now some of you may be thinking that procastinators are just being dramatic, just wanting others' sympathy, and you may be right, Ylfho's to say that Tom Cruise or Elizabeth Taylor weren't procrastinators in their college days? Great actors may have become actors because of their ability to play up an upcoming deadline. ·

I know, not everyone who is. a procrastinator is going to be the next John Wayne. but procrastination can be used in many different occupational fields.

In the business world, for example, your boss may ask you to plan a meeting or dinner party with only a day's notice. A normal person would panic, but not the procrastinator; hejust says "no problem."

Procrastination can be helpful in daily life too. When income tax time rolls around.• the procrastinator doe.sn't have to spend two months in advance worrying about the return; the procrastinator just waits and worries about it in orye all-night session.

College is the perfect place to develop procrastination. What other time in your life can vou do four months' worth of work in just two months, twice a year? November and April are the procrastinator·s time to snine.

Procrastination is an art that needs to be 'nurtured to its fullest extent. Proqrastinators need encouraging just like everyone else. so if you know a procrastinator, give them some attention and who knows, you may just be helping out the next Marlon Brando or Jimmy Stewart.

Perilous Parking J.?roblem

by Dave Schoonover

There is an issue at Peru State Which I am very upset. It is the condition of the parking lot at the Centennial Complex. It's an adventure just to get a parking spot.

]'Jow the parking lot I'm talking about is the so-called gravel parking lot. The first problem is wt oen l enter the .lot. There c:ire several major "bumps" that nearly send my head through the roof of. the car. Then I have to be careful not to drive over the pipe sticking out the mi.ddle of the ground. I had a flat tire earlier this semester and that pipe is the prime suspect. If I'm lucky enough to. get past the pipe I make sure to look out for the mini-ver;;;ion of the Grand

Canyon. These holes are too big to Cdll holes. They're huge pits and they could seriously damage a car.

Then there's the fact that the Jot is always muddy. The presence of mud.is not actually life-threatening, but hey, who wants mud all over the outside of their car,' the inside of their car not to mention all over themselves?

My solution?

Very simple. Pave the damn things, It will solve all those problems. plus it will help keep the dorms a lot Cleaner. People won't be tracking mud in al( .th.e time.

So plea· .e, Administration. put cement down on the parking lot. Put blacktop down. Put anything down.

Th!-; may ·soon be seen on certain albµm covers if a piece of federal fegislation. Bill 1406,becomes law. Is this right? ls it going against the Fircst Ammendment Right provided for us in the Constitution?

The bill states that a large fluorescent yellow sticker with the warning cited above in bold black print will be placed on the front cover of compact discs, records and tapes containing such materials

I'll admit, some albums are demented and offensive. But the yellow sticker is too general and could give false ideas to the person buying the albums. If anything, having the sticker on the albums will encourage one to buy them to see how bad they really are.

Bill 1406 won't stop people from buying these albums, and it definitely won't stop all the bad things from happening in the world today. Music can't be blamed for someone's actions. If someone is going to smoke.a joint or kill another person. it"s not beca.use they listen2d to Gun's Roses or 2 Live .:rew. People control their own lives.

Earth Day ... Jump on the Ecology Band Wagon

With Earth Day right around the corner and every politician and environmentalistjumping on the ecqlogical band-wagon, it isn't hard to understand the excited response of every concerned citizen in the world. And world involvement is what is called for by those who wish to save our planet. But save the planet at what cost? /

It is well and fine to say that the smog encircling our cities is bad for our health. We all have heard the rhetoric about clean air acts, industrial emissions. and smog alerts. It also comes as no surprise that automobile exhaust fumes, chemical. toxins. and industrial wastes are equally significant in the pollution of our planet. Yet to change our world 9vernight 'is a feat even the .most talented bureauc.ratic magician cannot accomplish.

If, one is to believe John F. McManus, spokesman for the John Birch Society, it is not only' improbable. but impossible, as well. According to the Bi.rch Society's viewpoint, it is inconceivable to inconvenience anyone for the sake of improving the environment. They swear it is all a plot aimed at eventual global control.

The Society spouts facts and figures of pollution emissions analysis. both natural and man-made. And they tell their readers that even if the reports were factual and regulations were followed to the letter. it would make little if any difference in the ozone layer or breathable air contaminant content. ·

The environment,.according to the Society. can't have precedence over such things as industrial productivity or progress. And we must have progress, no matter the cost to our environment.

Then, on the other hand, you have the other side of the ecological coin. This includes the enviro.nmentalists who watch-dog industries and protest nuclear facilities. They try to change a lifo·time of bad habits and mismanagement by those who want to.make a buck without the hassle of fol owing new governmental guidelines.

The sanctions imposed upon the industries make it even more difficult to continue "business as usual" in. an already volatile ()"larket place. With job losses due to plant closings, it's a "no win" •:m:uat1on: I he real losers are the very people· the sanctions ah· meant to protect. It qecorries increasingly difficult to understand the actions of these activists, when you can no longer provide the nece»sities ot life for yourself and family.

This is not to say that environ()"lental issues should be ignored. On the contrary. they are most lmporti;lnt to all of us. But perhaps a tempering of demands should be in order. The "planet before an" idea is a little too radical in its idealism for most of us to live with. A more realistic approach might be more acceptable t,0 an eagerly awaiting public.

William Safi re, a New York Times cohJmnist, came up with an interesting five-point plan that bears looking at. (The complete plan can be seen on page t3 of the Tuesday, April 17 edition of the Omaha World-Herald.) It goes something tH,e this:

1. If it doesn't trigger a depression. ease up on the carbon dioxide.

2. D· velopment by otl'\,er countries needs to take place, and our owntlife styles need to be protected.

3. l'he "Green Seal" of approval may not be the best ideology to follow unquestioned aod unchecked.

4 Put a higher value on growth than on limitation. Suicide by self'-strahgulation is never a good idea. People live on this planet, too. ! ' · ·

After much consideration, I have come to the Conclusion that. Earth Day, for the most part, is a good idea. Yet. l also believe a tempered plan of action needs to be implemented to reduce the pollution problem and protect the land, sea and air of our precarious little blue ball.

It is inconceivable to expect anyone to return to the cave-man existence demanded l:)y "nyironmentaf extremists. It is equally troublesome to swallow the Birch .Society's "damn the torpedos; full speed ahead" line of thinking. Temper the two, and you Cl.rrive at a happy medium that most of us could live with.

Finally. I think it is importantto realize that pollution is,apersonal ite()"l. Each of us can do our part to improve our surrounding areas: Dispose of ·waste properly. instead of trashing the Insist on paper bags at the grocery store, instead of meekly accepting the plastic one. Use cloth diapers, instead of disposables. Use chemicals wisely on our lawns., gardens and in farming. Use organic farming as often as is feasible to do so.

Be aware of those companies that refuse to comply with environmentally safe practices, and boycott their products until compliance is met.

There is a lot that can be changed by each of us· doing our own part. The Earth belongs to all of us. It takes all of us to make it a good place to live.

One Happened Today

by Troy· Sedam

Dr. Holtz sent me out to do an editorial i::olumi;i. I.had never done one before and thought it would be a miracle if I got it done, which made me sta.rt to think. how many miracles we.have seen in the last schoolyear. ·

The top one I can think of is the falling of the &erlin Wall. I never thought I would see that in a peacetime era.-;;which leads to another miracle I didn't think I'd see. Russia losing grips on its own people. It makes me think how' quickly and broadly the world can change in a short time.

Another miracle is, I can't seem to recall a terror,ist act on a U. s. citizen in the last six months. And who would've believed.that four Mutant Ninja Turtles would be a box office .success, We have also provei;i .a person can actually.surV'ive <;In cafeteria food for nine month$.'ln the the water was fil'Ced in Delzell. and only a few short weeks after we came back for second

It's also a miracle h¢w d.umb some people. can be. I think PSC should invest in a boxing club or something on that or;der so tht:,l vandals on campus will have some place to go to work off their frustrations.

Spring is finally back, bringing u.s new singing birds ano millions of multicolored blossoms. Every sp'ring new mirac;les; one happened today. I did get my editorial column done. Now I have to work on.another miracle, my grades. · ··

!Unreliable ... Word Of

by Gene En9el

When' I was a kid going to camp in the summer. there was a game we always pl;;:tys, and it was .the telephone game. Sometimes we were in a circle and other times in a long line. but the format does not matte.r as much as the rules of the game. One person. wrote down a .a11d whi,spered it: .to.ithe person to theic- left and that person wl;lispered it t¢ the next and sp on until lt reached the last person in the game. The ij:tst person stc;ited ·the. secret out. loud· anq the >statement was cqmpared to the:J:?egiqQiflg yersion. It never failed that the versions did not match at all. The lesson we learned was that word of mouth' is not a reliable form especially when we are sharing someone else's secrets.

Two examples of this old game at work today <:;ome to mind. On.e is what you said in the survey as to what you believe other people,. are using and abusing on campus. and the other is concerning the half-way house idea.

lf we are to base our program on what w.as perceived as !being the use levels on campus, then we would need to have a st.a ff of about twenty. Don't get me wrong. I know that denial is a primary symptom of the disease of substance·abuse and all people that aouse their of cha.ice minimize the effects it's having on others about them. There is a saying that the 'abuser is the last one to know that he has a problem. A friend of mine, Dr. Paul says, "He never abused alcohol or ' drugs, never once did he swear at or break a bottle, when a plll fell out of his pocket.he dipn't step on it. he always picked it,up with loving care, he people that in the way of"' his ch.emical of choicei for that day," What is the trufi! level of use and abu.se ·on campus? .If we '1:ave observed what we have reported about others then maybe it's time to look at our own susceptibility to gossip.

A few tears came to the eyes'. brim as. through the poetry and music, these girls told our mothers what.we feltaQOt,Jt therq, Next on the agenda was game time. A few startling revelations w.ere made through the mother-daughter question and answer game.

The mothers found that there is no single night of the· week that can be deemed "bar night" and the daughters deduced that the color. white can be particularly syml:>olic.

Following .the games were movies of all genres; Of course there was al5o the.time 1;cltc;ilk for a whi.le before going to sleep. When time for sleep arrived, our mother:s

The ride came to its close and everyone part·ed. Some mothers stayecj for a short while longer, some retui"l'led to their homes ·and some. t_ook their daughters shopping. ·

Williams and Williams for 1 990

Though Scott Williams is retiring in May after 24 years of teaching geography at PSC, students will still find the name ;,Williams" next to geography class listings for next fall.

He'll be leaving the program in trusted hands, as his wife Ann, will pick up where he's leaving off.

"I just got done speaking to a group of about 100 elementary school children at Calvert School in Auburn," he said. · "That is the time to get them interested in the subject."

Geology and geography have obviously been lifelong interests of his. He was in his. late 30s when he earned his bachelors degree at Arizona State University, .but he already had a distinguished career in geology.

His work' as a geologist. primarily in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. included the discovery of five minerals never before recorded.

Promotion Given

"I'm happy ltook the.iob," he added. When he was granted tenure in 1973, the Williams· family decided to remain in Perl.l for'the d1.Jration.

While he hopes tb devote considerable time to speaking with elementary school groups, Willi.ams has strong feelings about the 'role a different age group will play in PSC's future.

"Our (PS C's) future is through these non-traditional students--they are the lifeblood of southeast Nebraska," Williams emphasized.

TMI Corporation. the largest direct response marketing firm in the U.S h·a s promoted Steve Matthews to Branch Manager in TMl's Oeveland center according te Tom Searcy; Director of Outbound Operat;ions at the corporate headquarters in Dallas. Matthewsjolned TMI as a Telephone Sales Representative in Pe'ru. NE and was prometed several times to Quality Assyrance Manager, Sales Manager and Assistant Branch Manager.

Manager Trainer. Matthews , graduated from Peru State College in 1988.

TMI currently employs more than 2.000 employees within seven TMI ce_nters Lind:>ln. and. Peru,. NE; Tempe, ·AZ; Arlington, TX; Oeveland OH; Indianapolis. IN; Arlington,. TX, in addition to Omaha.

Actually. the assistant geography professor won't really be "leaving" anything except the rigors of full-time teaching. He will continue to teach geology classes at PSC-about one class each semester, he anticipates.

When asked what he'd miss most in his retirement, he answered, "l really won't miss anything."

"I wili stiil have contact with students, and l'll be handling the geology area--that's rec:i!ly my specialty," he s·aid.

Williams also plans to attend geology conventions. and pursue a special· project-making presentations on geology and geography to area schoolchildren.

After receiving his bachelors degree from Arizona State, he taught at Phoenix College and also began work on his masters degree at ASU. serving as a graduate teaching assistant.

It was then that Wii'liams made his most important "discovery"--an ASU undergraduate student, Ann Dowling, who became his wife.

They have one daughter. Julie, whograduatedfrom Peru State in '88. majoring in artand geograph.Y.

After earning his masters degree from ·· ASU. in 1966, Williams had two offers to teach on the college !evel--at college in Georgia, and ·at Peru State, both quite distant from his birthplace of San Francisco.

"There was never really any doubt that I'd take the Perujob; Dean (Keith) Melvin hired me on the.spot," he said.

He termed the growing number of older students at PSC "a positive thing--it's mainly the non-traditional students who get the 'top seats' in my class."

Williams doesn't plan for his retirement to be all work.

"I'll spend more time gardening and working with my flowers," he said.

But the conversation always comes back to schoolwork and geology.

"I want te take more field trips with (PSC) students; to do more field work and to give more special lectures to grade schoo.I kids," he said.

"Hopefully, I've got another. 1Qgood years left, God willing," he said. "I'm healthier now than I've ever been."

Pitcher Boosts Team •••

Left-Hander Leads Cats

Peru State College rookie pitcher Scott Kohout is quickly coming of age.

Last week, the freshman left-hander was the winning pitcher in a 15-5 victory over perennial District power Kearney State. Wednesday, the. Cortland, NE. native tossed a three-hitter to power the Bobcats to a 4-1 victory over Bellevue College in the first game of a double header at Bellevue East High s, hool.

"Scott h. 1s done a real good job for us this year," said Peru State Coach Paul Wyczawski. "And, he's getting better each time out."

"I don't think he was quite as sharp against Bellevue as he was against Kearney. Still, he competed very w_ell out there and got 1h.em out in key situations when it counted."

Kohout worked out of an early second-inning jam the · Bruins put runners at first and second with only: one out. He quickly retired outfielder Jarron Bradley on an infield pop up with just one pitch and catcher lim Bilyeu on a fly out to rightfield.

The Bruins l!fft two more base runners in the third when Kohout got Billy Smith on a fly out to left field, and designated hitter Doug Baugh on a line drive shot to third base. But Bellevue picked up its' lone run of the contest earlier in the frame when Geary Taylor walked with one out, stole second, and scored on lim Stutheit's RBI.single.

From then on, Kohout limited the Bruins to just. a single by Robbie Reed, who collected two of BC's three hits, over the final four innings.

Kohout, a graduate of Norris High School, overcame a seasonhiuh eight walks, induding four to Taylor, the lead-off hitter.

The Bobcats g •Ve Kohout the offensive support he needed in the .sixth, pushing across three go-ahead runs off loser Don Lasso, · 4-3 Leftfielder Wit Raftery, a Legion teammate of Kohout's last Y· •a:r, rapped an RBI single to make it 2-1. First baseman Todd Mel'ical followed with a sacrifice fly, and center'fielder Kevin Heller pok.ed an RBI single for the other two runs.

K(.)hout, who entered the contest with a 6.87 earned-runaverage CERA), struck out three in improving his record to 3-2.

Peru State's victory paid back thi= Bruins in part for their 15'-9 7• 0 sweep back on March 27 in Auburn. It also moved the Bobcats' District record to 6-6 overall, including a 4-2 mark in the first games.

the game he was feeling pretty good about beating them," Wyczawski said of Kohout. "My c mment to him was to himself to throw like that every time out, notjust against goocj team'5."

"He has the capability o win games , if he can continue to impr;;ove from game to game."

The Bobcats, who dropped the nightcap 8-5; are 11-13overall.

·Learn To Keep Your Cool

by Amy Snyder

It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

The role of disciplinarian on a college campus is a hard one to play. No matter what the setting, people never seem to take too kindly to those who monitor what is right and what is wrong.

Despite the degree to which the accused reallyisatfault,he or she generally has at least a few words to say on his or her own behalf. And rightfully so. I mean this America, right? We all have the right to be innocent until proven otherwise. With some sense of dignity, we should all be allowed to present our case. Whether four-letter words more effectively get the point across is up to the individual, but generally a civil tongue gets you farther in the long run.

But that's the law of common, everyday life. What about the life cif intramural athletes? Should these underrated, over-qualified, finetuned athletic machines be allowed a different type of treatment? Should they be allowed to question the call of the referee just because their team· is losing? Can they .be qllowed to hold grudges and person;al vendettas against their fellow classmates who are reffing the game just to earn some work-study money?

Is it right to shout obscenities all the way from the Student Center to the science bµilding, just because they didn't agree with a call?

Of course it is ! This is America. Freedom of speech and all that good stuff. it's O.K. to fly off the handle and say things you don't mean in the heat of competition. Sure, it's fine to throw a· tantrum and make everyone stare at you. And sure. it's fine to hold a five-year grudge.

But what good will it do?

It might get you top billing in the campus gossip chain, it might get you a start on a good bleeding ulcer, and it might even get you a nasty personal in the Times.

What it won't do for you is let your team have a good time and play the game, and it probably shoots your chances at the sportsmanship award. all to heck. · ·

So when you find yourself in a sticky situationandyouarejust about to lose you cool, please remember the following tips.

Softball Team 'Better' Than Last Year --A TTEN:+ lON--

by Amy Snyder

For Head Softball Coach

Larry Brown, the 1990 season has been turning out about how he expected. With a nine win ·seven loss record as of April ·10, he was pleased with what had been happening with his team.

"We are. doing better now than we were at this time last year," Brown noted. "That's what you hope for, constant improvement."

Commenting about the team's standing after 14 garnes, Brown felt the greatest str.ength was batting. Statistics backed up his da1m, showing fciur players with a 300 plus batting average. Bridget led the Lady Cats at that time with a .385. Following closely were. Kim Horsham-.362, Diane Pokorny-.361 and Kristi

• _Brown explained that these averages are excellent for college softball.

Coach Brown recognized pitching as another strength.

: Erin O'Grac:ly lec::i this category after 14 games with a win-loss record of six and two. Brown

noted that Deleeuw and Grossman have also pitched well for the team, but at times haven't received the support from the field they need to win games.

Asked abt>ut the team's weaknesses. Brown reported that defense gave the Cats the most difficulty.

"Our biggest problems come from a lack of concentration When we are not mentally ready to play, we make too mar:iy errors. Softball is a lo_wscoring game, and you can't afford to give up a run."

_In practice, the team has consistently worked on fundamentals. The sessions were going well; however, Brown saw the team's biggest problem a.t that tirne as not being able to practice outdoors.

"We have had a bad practb:::e situation this year. With the football team having spring ball on the practice field, we have to travel to Auburn. The fields over there are nice, but it is ar\ inconvenience, and is expen·· sive." Brown stated that he can now easily sympathize

with the baseball team, as they have. had to travel to Auburn the last couple of years.

Going into the end of the season, Brown said the team's goal is to qualify for districts. Noting that District 1 1 is one of the top softball districts in the U.S a berth in this tournament would be a great honor.

Aside from the 1 obvious competitive aspects of this year's team, Br.own commended the Lady Cats-for their ability to work together and have fun. Brown feels that as soon as a sport becomes a job, it is not worth doing Therefore, he is pleased with the moral on his team

"We really have a great bunch of kids on the team. We always have a lot of fun, and that's how it should be

incident really has on ·the fuH scope of your life. If in two days you will have forgotten it, then chill out. If in two years you will still lose sleep over it, then seek some type of professional help:

Number three; Think about your mom. She always told you not to pick fights. Besides, if she heard you cuss like that. she'd wash your mouth out.

Number four. Put yourself in the shoes of the referee or umpire. Remember that he or she doesn't have any real reason to make a call against you, and if there is a real reason, think about what you did to cause it. You're probably lucky this is the bes:Et.hat could be done to get you.back.

Finally, number five. Compliment yourself. If yo.u get this defensive about competition , you must think that you're pretty good. So tell. yourself. Say, "I'm really good. So good that with all my natural-born talent and charm, I can easily overcome this misfortune. and win the game despite my disadvantage." (If you can say this to yourself, you might want to consider th!;? second part of number two.)

So just remember, without those offictals to or ref the contest, there would be no intramural athletics. Now which ,would you rathe.r deal with, an unfair call or a nonexistent program?

From. The Other Side Of Th.e Desk

by Leland H. Sherwood

lam presently completing my fifth year, the second time around as faculty sponsor for the Student Senate, and wish to take this opportunity to reflect upon some observations.

I continue to be impressed with the sincere efforts and dedication of students that donate their time to the college in filling ·leadership roles.

These individuals, according to Paula Winkelman's categories of people in the March 16 issue of The Times, can truly be identified as "workers." They volunteer their time .• and work very hard on many projects in an honest effort to make the Dr. Leland Sherwood system work more effectively.

Paula indicated that this service was usually without pay. I guess I disagree with her on this point. There may be no monetary reward for many of these efforts. however the intrinsic · values that result can be· seen over and over again. The personal .satisfaction that comes from seeing a joq· completed and well done, and the lasting friendships that develop are indeed rewarding-.

l ha\,,:e observed individual concerns as a result of strong leelings from of an issue; then discussions and eventual compromises occur. This learning and growth is indeed another reward that is irreplaceable in building one's character.

Senate members actively represent the students in many aspects of the system. I have watched them organize students by the bus load in an effort to make a forceful statement to the legislature. These efforts help to provide more diversity in programs, whether it be through increased funding for facilities, or as quality classroom experiences.

They question legislators when increases in tuition or other direct monetary requests are being proposed. They initiate fund raising activities that assist indviduals and local campus projects; they welcome grandparents as part of their visit in the fall. They are cailed upon to clean up after the homec.oming events are complete. To· n=:!peat, I am impressed with this dedication.

lam sure many other students are just as involved in other organizations on our campus. and l hope everyone i.s part of this important aspect of college life. The old adage that on. 's education should not be limited to credit hours.completed or GPA seems ;:;tpplicable.

My observations lead me to the conclpsion that all stud• ,nts can be rewarded if they look for and find.a campus organization to work for· and become part of. If you have not done so. why not give it some serious thought?

Continued from Page ·1

ological Society of America, The Journal of Medical Entomology, and The Journal of the American Mosquito Control Ass0ciation.

A large part of the program's succe•,s would also have to be attributed; according to Dr. Larry Pappas, to the freedom that the school gives them to do what they want to do. "We have gotten a lot of help and support from administration," commented Dr. Carol Pappas. "The president CDr. Gallentine) has always helped pay same of the expenses for travel to present our research:"

Currently four students have started on research for presentations next year. Along with Brown and Kruger. a freshman Sabetha. KS, Shari Humbauh. and a sophomore from Auburn,· Tammy Su.rette, will work on individual research projects throughout the summer of 1990 in hopes of improvin!;J the 1990, in hopes of improving on the level of success that the program has already achieved.

"One.,of the judges from the

competition in which Andrea won. contacted me aboyt .a week ago. He said that we are setting a· standard in the science community, as far as the presentation of our material, that the rest of the school.s are going to be forced to catch up with," stated Dr. Carol Pappas. "I just hope that by the time they catch up, we Will already have moved ahead one step further."

The Times scored 81 O points on a 1,000 point scale, only 40 points short of a first place award. with 700 points being the minimum for a second place award.

Dear Editor: I write this editorial not to di$agree with. the article, "ROTC BUilds Mc:>r:e Than Character," by Troy Sec;lam, but rather to clarify a few of .the facts that. were garbted by the reporter. The facts. that are .incorrect are where. · the program and instructors come from to teach the Classes.

The program does not come from the Doane College system. It comes from the freighton .ROTC Department, whic.h received appr:;oval by the Department of .Army to hold classes on the Peru campus, although the Creighton ROTC Department does teach classes at Doane on Tuesdays.

A Nostalgic look back ...

Where Do All The Good Titnes Go?

by Mike McCOy

Another fact that is incorrect is .where the instructors come from to teach the classes. The instructors· al.so come. from Creighton University. not .Crete.

I ':>elieve Crete's ROTC program is taught by the University of Ne.bra·sk'aLincoln.

The final correction that needs to be made is a spelling correction. For:;t Louis should be spelled Fort Lewis. Trust me, I should know because I spent six weeks from the past summer at that fine military · installation.

Decidedl,y Non- Traditional Is Just the Right Thing for Joan

by Joan Hazard

I am a D.N.S. (Decidedly Student). I'll acquire ju·•'tior status in May; I'll turn 62 in June. There are good things and not-so-good things about being D.N.S. as opposed to being a traditional student.

·A good thing is that my jeans need not be modish, and I don't have to shell out big. bucks for state-of-the-art athletic shoes. because nopne is going to note nor care what l wear.

A not-so-good thing is that ar:thritis and chair/desks are nc compatible. I tend to atrophy in a sitting position after 50 minutes in one of the critters. Sliding out and straightening up in one fluid movement are wishful tbinking. ·1 must dawdle until the classmate on my left has decamped and, then, use the empty chair to lever myself out and up.

•Another plus is that there' is no pressing need for me to participate in campus organizations, i.e.: Student Senate, English Club, etc., because a potential employer's being swayed by my involvement in campus activities is a truly remote possibility for a gra'cl9ate eligible for full Social Security benefits.

But a minus is that l find myself becoming excited about newlyacquired skills and broadened knowledge, only to remember that employers ar:en't panting for people rnY age, so I will probably never h.3ve the opportunity to use my abilities with any marked effect.

A long suit: Being a brideof40years1 lhavenoneedtobewhere the action is and am free to study during prime time wben young people need to be out mingling. Thus, I never wake to find that the night has fled while l slumbered on an open textbook.

A short suit: I'm already steeling myself for the expression .on some young man's face wnen it falls his lot to be this grandmother's partner·in ballroom dancing.

A positive: It is gratifying to verify that old dogs CAN learn new tricks just as well as pups can.

A negative: It is sometimes downright awkward to antedate one's professors.

D; N.S. can also stand for Decidedly Not Sorry. And it does.' I am very glad I gathered my courage and came back to school.

PERU STATE TIMES

fs it possible tha.t we could let a little over eight months slip by us this Ctuickly? Jt doesn't seem tha.t long ago that we were introducing ourselyes to newfound friends, or welcoming back old ones from the summer. BUt already we find ourselves in the familiar groove of repeating the phrases "So W.hat are ya going to do this summer; Don't work to hard; Take care: or the ever popular, catch you later;"

For some this summer brings graduation and the send-off into the, quote-unquote, real world. For most, however, it's another three-month break and back to the grindstone. BUt for all it's a time to reminisce; a time to· forgive and forget; a time to hold on or let go; and for some, a time to say goodbye.

We've all had our moments this past year, and all had times we hope we can put behind us. But as a campus, overall •. we've stuck together, taken the good with the bad; and that's what kept us strong.

The Highs/The Lows

From the thrills of victories that we all shared this past fall with the Bobcat football team on their rise to the top. To the agony of defeat we felt when a last second field goal fell short, ending the first-ever national playoff appearance for the

Bobcats. To the tragedy of the loss of two recent PSC graduates, in a six-month period, making· us all aware haw· real death. is and how much it hurts to ·lose good friends. Yes it's been an· emotional rollercoaster of· a year.

It was a year of records. An enrollment count of 1 • 724 students set a record for the seventh straight year. Ticket. sales and attendance also reached record numbers for the drama department on campus as nearly 4,000 people total turned out for four separate productions by the Peru Players. ·

It was a year of successes.

PBL was again in top form during the State Leadership conference held in Lincoln, as the business fraternity swept eight of sixteen categories during the contest. Meanwhile, the science department on the presentation circuit, following a long summer of research, collected three national honors and high praise for its students' research.

The 1989-90 academic year also saw a no-smoking policy established. And can you believe it, a Student Bill of Rights. Yeah.

With rededications, speakers, singers, entertainers, musicals. comedians, talent

shows, poetry readings, memorial services, career· fairs, concerts, picnics, fashion shows. bed races, pitch · tournaments, casinonighi;s, pig kissing contests, intramurals, varsity athletes,· .Christmas Formal, H.;mecoming, the· playoffs, awards night. and · honor banquets, jazz band clinics, solo fairs, swing (;hair contests, lip-sync·· contests, .Oub coca Cola, spring fling, spring break, and mega-dances to attend, if you are a student and didn't make at least one of these events, you better have somebody check your pulse

A Fond Farewell

All in all, we've lived, laughed, loved, and learned a iot this year. The friends we've made and the memories we've shared will live on in our•minds as well as our hearts.

So for now Y:fe say our goodbyes and close another chapter on this book we call ' life. BUt not before that last party, that last handshake, that last kiss, 'or tt .at last hug farewell. *************

Going to school is a risk for anyone It's a chance that you might fail, a chance that you might lose, a chance that you a chance that you won't make friends, a chance that you might not have taken but aren't you glad you did.

A Clear Crosswalk Is Needed Now

by Martin Jacobsen

A college student has just gotten.out of her last class for the week. Her last exam has been returned and she has ea.med an "A." She has a date on Saturday, and plans to spend Sunday with her parents in her home town. As she leaves for the day, her thoughts are happy and her hopesare high, But

As she ·cross.es the .street that the commuter parking lot and the main campus. she is struck by a car, and her thoughts, her dreams. .and her skull are shattered.

When the driver of the vehicle is taken to jail, he is asked why he didn't stop for the .crosswalk.

"What crosswalk?" he asks.

"The crosswalk at the corner whe.re the. a.ccident occurred," he is told.

Again, he responds, quite justifiably.· "What crosswalk?"

Anyone. who has crossed the street ih question knows what I'm talking about. A child of.ten (and many such children have probably, noticed), can seetl")at there is no visible crosswalk at the location in questib:n: Why is it gone?Jt!s bEaen run over too many times. I W"'"lder how long

it will be, before a student, a Peru citizen, or a child of ten is run over here, never to be seen again? I hope something is done by then.

Yet l can just imagine the type of excuses one may hear regarding this issue. "It's soand-so's responsibility!" Then so-and-so says it's suchand such's,and such-and-such says it's someone else again; and this goe.s on until it's left up · to God! (Whom we mayaswell ask since we'll all be praying for our safety by then anyway.)

Or there won't be enough money, or they'll say that ·everybody around here knows•·

it's there anyway, or the ever" popular "We were just getting to that."

All of these excuses are crap. For all intents and purposes, there.is no crosswalk between the commuter parking lot and the main campus. A little paint .and an hour is all that would probably be required to remedy this hazard.

l urge whoever is in a position to change this, to do so. Put a little paint on the pavement now, and there won't l::>e a need to put a student, a Peru citizen, or a child of ten Linder the pavement later.

RESUME BOOKS

A copy is available at each division secretary's desk for you to see. Because only 6 copies are left, please do not remove the book from her de5k.

The resumes w4:lre voluntarily submitted by students, typed by Placement Office staff, printeq at Auburn Newspaper, colated and bound by Placement, and sent to 400 employers by Jane Tutt, an intern in the Placement Office.

PBL Elects· New Officers

by Angela Bischoff

On April 26 the PB!.. chapter elected officers for 1990-91: Mike Harling, president; Brian Boyce, vice-preseident; Scott Hahn, vicepresident; Jodene Glaesemann, secretary; Lisa Reeves, historian/parliarnentari9n; Angela Bischoff. public relations.

Job Hunting Tips for Seniors

Linda Warre1'l, placement director, urges seniors to keep in touch with her office this summer to check on openirigs. Scores of openings come in qy mail every day, most of them on Mondays. The gradu<:ite should call (800) 742-4412.

The Placement Office receives bulletins from other colleges. from other states, and from Omaha and Lincoln. The openings are all published in a monthly newsletter, but / often that information becomes old and the openings are gone by the time the newsletter arrives. Mrs. Warren encourages grads to keep her office updated on their summer address so employers can reach them.

Employers often call and want resumes and.for credential files of all persons in a certain major. They may also ask that ref1=rences be read over the phone, or sometimes the FAX is used in emergencies.

Graduates can still establish a credential file in the Placement Office, AD 303, or simply leave a resume that can be copied and sent as employers request.

Juniors Get a Jump on a Job

The Placement Office is encouraging all juniors to pick up a packet in AD 303. The packet includes materials to start a credential file for written references from faculty and employers. Also included is the form that will be used for the Resurhe Book which is sent to 400 employers. ·

Because the Career Fair in Lincoln for all Nebraska college students is held in September, next year's seniors will want to have a. resume ready before fall semester starts. Information on resume writing is available in AD 303.

Co'ioco (Dupont) has already set an interview date of Oct'. 8 for accounting majors. Employers will hire the best talent early and wait till May or June for them to begin work.

Accounting juniors should send a resume to Placement by June 1 Public firms interview as early as August or before, and only in the fall semester. The Placement Office will send the resumes to all firms in Omaha and Lincoln.

Juniors should also consider enrolling in College 400, Career · Strategies, which meets at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays. Job hunting strategies are taught in this one credit h?ur course.

Linda Warren, placement director, believes that if juniors get their "stuff" together before fall; their senior year will go much smoother.

All-American Shouse Returns

.lQ... · Complete His Education

· by Troy Sedam badly enough to end his in 1979 Danny Shouse was basketball career. When he an NA.IA All-American at Peru· came back home to Terre State .Collegf:l. He averaged Haute, IN., nobody was over 43 points a game a.nd still pointing a finger at him and holds many scoring records saying, "That's him," like they here: did with. his former high school

teammate Larry Bird.

He was also a 28-year-old nontraditional student, so. the NBA. overl9oked him, When he· left PSC. Shouse went to the · i:;:uropean League and played fpr Armonof Reykjavik, Iceland• where his team won three world championships.

Matched Chamberlain's Record

In the European League, Shouse averaged over 45 points a game for three years in a row and accomplished so.mething that only one other person in the history of pro basketball has done. He matched Wilt Chamberlain's single game scoring a record of 100

Shouse. also became an instant celebrity in Europe; he · started doing commercials. He had clothing named after him and even had major shoe companies wanting him. to wea.r their brands. Everyone knew .the na,roe and face of Danny Shouse;• J-Ois man, if arwone. sh6uk;(haye: made it ' cdnd been verv''successful.

tragic lesson

Shouse was soon to learn the most tragic lesson of his life, :though. ·After five ;and a half • years, he messed up his knee

Shouse didn't give up. though. He is anything but a quitter. He said to himself, "I have been to college; lean geta good job." So he worked as an alcohol counselor at the Hamilton Center in Terra Haute, IN. He then became the first black propation officer in Virgo County, OH, but everytime he should have moved up, Shouse was overlooked. So he changed careers and became a .· chemical operator, but. he ran

into the same problem again.

When Shouse left PSC, he hadn't finished his de9ree. So , he recently decided it was time • to come back and get it. Since it has been over seven years since he left, he had to take more. hours to get his degree because of· changes in the curriculum.

Shouse said, "It will be worth it becai,;se with.out that piece of paper you really put a wall in front of your career, no matter how dose you are to getting it."

Shouse said, "I came back to Peru State because Dean Joy really helped m.e out in getting everything ready." Shguse also added, "When you get to know Dean Joy, he.is a.great friend and a great credit to this college."

Finish your degree

Shouse says he really likes this campus. He says the people are really friendly ar;id the upkeep and additions make it one of the prettiest campuses around. He says the teachers are great. If you have a problem, they are always glad to take time with you. Shouse. said the. only thing he would like to see is more school spirit, since he believes it has really gone down since 1979.

Shouse plans on staying here to finish his education this time and advises students to, "Finish your degree, because it doesn't pay not to."

Alcohol Destroys Lives

by Gene Engel 0

The semester is almost history. For some. that day of days is about to arrive and you'll be making, or hope to be making, MEGA BUCKS. and getting on with life. Graduation is an interesting time and I'd like to take a moment to reflect on some, of the recollections· and feelings of my day.

I remember that our neighbor was pregnant, and graduation day was the time that God chose for her to deliver. Her husband had left her a week before. along with the two children they already had. 1 remember that sh.e had no money, that the electricity and phone had been shut off, and she was heating the baby's bottle on the water heater pilot ·liQriit. On graduation day •. in the midst of labor pains. and having no other choice, she finally asked for. help. My fa.ther-inlaw took her to the hospital. He arrived at my graduation cE!remony in time to congratulate me and my brother-in-law.

1 don't know what ever happened to that lady and her children. I did not know then that what was happening in her life was the result of alcoholi!:'m. I didn't want to see that, bacause her husband and I par:tieq together, a.nd there sure wasn't anything wrong with me. It isn't until now that I •can .reflect on the events of that day and see more clearly wt;iat was really happening.

want to feel it, since · boys aren't suppose to cry. Now, I can see the unfinished business of· saying and .thank you to friends and faculty. I now see how I was just like my neighbor's husband. We both abandoned loved ones for centered, self-indulge Neither of us said good' both of us left b• unfinished.

As lthinkback, lwasan<; my neighbor for imposing or 1 me and my family on my very special day. How pare someone not see my needs and drop all theirsjust so mine could be met. It took 20 more years of this 9ttitude for me to drive all away from me except my wife and two children. It was at this point that they said. "get help or get out," and I had no place to go. Drunks get to that point, and are the last to know it.

The hope I have today is that you won't have to struggle as 1 did. I hope you'll take time. to finish yoyr "business" witt friends. classmates an. faculty It's O.K. to grieve the Joss at graduation time. It's 0.K. to fell those feelings and. to cry those tears l hope you'll remember that "True humility is not thinking of ourselves as small. Rather, humility is not thinking of ourselves at all."

11The actions of some can indeed be felt by others.

'The majority of us, being students of .higher;. education, are able to relate to this concept. Since we were kids, we've all been told not to be selfish and have at numerous times. been forced to obey the Golden Rule.

Bottom line is before you act think

But how does this apply to life at PSC? Recently something happened on campus that brought the ability of ·students to think before they act into question. Because a few people chose to attend and participate ir. intramural softball under the influence, the entire ·spring program almost met extinc- · tion.

In a discussio.n with Intramural Coordinator, Patsy Shea, I found out tha.t at the beginning of softball season, empty cans and bottles were being dumped out the windows of vehicles and were. being left around the field and bleachers.

As a result of this littering. Shea spent• time after the games cleaning up the mess students had left. Not only was

Responsible Acts .Now Benefit All of Us.Later

this an inconvenience for her, but citizens of Peru that live around the field also did not appreciate the trash.

Shea gets reassurance from the captains

In order to prevent a small problem from turning big, Shea called a meeting of all intramural softball team captains. She explained the dissatisfaction with students' behavior and debated whether or not to cancel the contests entirely. After getting reassurance from the captains that alcohol would no longer be brought to the fields by those participating, Shea decided to continue play.

The actions of a few can ruin it for everyone

O.K. So we .lucked out and got a second chance, But what if Shea ha<;ln't wanted to let us try again? What if the actions of a few people had ruined the entire season for everybody? I think I know about 262 students who would have been very disappointed.

The advice Shea gave was, "Use a little common sense

sense.wher1•¥ou go down there to play. '\fV.!a are usir;ig ci:t:Y, propert'{; c:ind.they are letting us useit for our benefit:"

Granted. there is a time and pl;ace where· the · mentioned behavior can be tolerated. However, when it begins to threaten campus activities and .the hard work that coordinato.rs and students· put into them. it's. time. to find somewhere'else to go.

Having fun should' be top priority•..

I guess the bottom line is that people need to think before they act. Despite the belief that having fun is top priority, first billing should actually be given to those around who might not· appreciate the outcome.

It's not a hard task. In fact it's kind of like anything else. If you do it for a while, it becomes sort of a habit, and then you don't have to think quite so much beforehand.

With the 1 990 softball season coming to a close. the Lady Bobcats enter district play with a record of 15 wins and 18 losses. The close of thjs year's competition wiJL bring the loss of three seniors to the team. Through graduatior:i or depletion of eligibility PSC will say goodbye to Erin O'Grady, I-Selly Tynon, and Ann Masters.

All of these players have had a great impact during their playing years. At the end of regular season play, Masters brought a .271 b;::ittingaver<;1getotheteam. She also ranked third in team statistics in the assist

category with 37. Tynon 9dded to the team's effort by holding on to an .814 fielding percentage.

O'Grady led the pitching effort all season for the Lady Cats. Pitching nine oui: of the teams 15 winning games. She had a 2.4 earned run average. She allowed only 36 walks on the season and had a total of 57 strike.outs.

Not only will the Bobcats miss these players physical efforts. but the loss of their leadership and experience will also be felt.

The team will start district play by facing [)ana at Nebraska Wesleyan on Friqay, May 4.
