BUTTON FRESHIES! . The "wearing of the green" is the newest thing m fall head gear. Stylists say that the small green cap topped with a clever red button will be very good for campus wear this fall. The cap will be placed rather demurely toward the back of the head and may be worn with any fall costume. The result is very chic. This trend toward smaller and greener head wear will probably decline immediately after Homecoming, but it is a stunning fashion while it lasts.

THE MEN MAKE AN APPEAL kmovement is under way on our carnpus. The men .have decided that it is befitting their place in college Iife to have a recreational spot dedicated to them.

The gentlemen on the campus should be allowed to institute a Men's Aid if they like· The men, a minority in number tho' · not in quality on our campus, may have been neglected when it comes to providing social get·togethers. Perhaps the women have monopolized the social advantages. We sincerely advocate a men's recreational room. They undoubtedly merit it.

To the uninitiateid-that applies to freshmen, of cou11se, but It won't be long until they have been initiatetd. That. is all a part of the scheme. It has beien found that the freshmen enjoy it, though, q.uite as·much as the upper classmen. 'The climax of Homecoming events wHJ be the football game between Chadron an.d Peru on Saturday afternoon.

Campfire girl, I still noticE1 a few mirnnte details, bu-t it wmsn't until Saturrday, December 12, one week .after its instaHation that I first perceived the new library clock. Hidden auray in M alcove above " the west b.ulletfaJJ 'board the clock ticks away lonely and .unnotice'tl. I have sat next to students who have lea•ned over and whispered, "Have you the time?" "No," replied I impatiently. "Go .gaze uipon ye, clock. What'ya su:ppose they'v·e got one here for?" Therewpon, the anxious one pulls back his chair with a resounding scnape that sets my teeth agnashi.ng, tramps ;unconcernedly over my tender corns, and walks .up to the lihrarians' desk. From there hia car.efiully .and patiently maJ!'ks off: four paces to the east, six pacEls to the south, turns aro.und th11e'e times and looks for the clock. "Darn!" Still patiently-and more card'ullyhe t>rots hack to the desk and reversing the process steps off measured!.y: four paces to t:he sou·th, six paces to the e.ast, turns aro.und two times arnd gazes northward.

Try-oUJts for "One Madi Night" 'by James Reach, mystery farce ih three acts, were held .on Mondiay night. At this writing the cast had not yet been all!ooooced, hut it is expected to contain a number of new people. The date for presentati:on has been set for .March 12, The choice of "One Mad Night" was made from a groop of several pilays considered for the spring presentati-Cm. Reach's pl.ay is expected to be a box-office success. By casting it with new players it is hoped that more experienced players will be available for the one-act plays which wi!il 'be developed for the college play festival to be held mext spring. "One Mad Night" is a drama in the tradition of "'The Bat" and "The Cat and the Canary." The story concerns Don Cutter, a playwright who, accompallljecl: by Wing, his proverb,q1Utoting Chinese valet, goes to the Outter mansion;, a lonely hoiuse in the hills, to compilete his Iatest play in peace and q.u:jet. The hoose has been deserted ·for years, a series of mysteri·ous murdcers having given it the repUitati<>n of being haunted. Don is q1u.ite astonished to find the house tenanted by a number of strange people, including "John Alden," "Priscilla,'' "Mr. Hyde, and "Lady Macbeth." They are Lunatics, under the care of Dr. Bu.Im, whose home 'nearby has burned down. They are q1Uite harmless, hut Don doesn't k:now this. .Among the inmates is LucU!e, a .beaU!tif1u.l girl with an \!'mazing stQry. of p~rsecution and intrig,ue. Like a tiiue Lochinvar, Don is about to ride to her resoo.e when his :ffiancee and her mother p.ut iru an appear.ance with their mll>id, Depression'-:a comely .etharacter. From this point everything happens, including talking ghoC/sts, screaming women, disappearing guests .and, for a cli~ max, the appear.ance on. the scene of an escaped murderer fleeing for .his life.

"Why," q.uoth these hilarious females, "it was his .ciutting down the cherry . tree that .began his fam-OUS care.er as a railsplitter. And; besides, why do you SUippose they call him Honest Abe?

"It is right that the federal government should promote the general welfare through bearing a fair share of the cost ·of schools," stated Congressman Brooks Fletcher of Ohto, in his figiht for partial national support of American education. Senator Hugo L. Black of Alabama and Senator ht Harrison of Mississippi are co-au the rs of a bill which, if passed by the present session of Congress, will provide for the national government to help in maintainfog 0<ur schools and colleges. Mr. Fletcher introduced the hiill in the Hou.se, so it is known as the Harrison, Black, Fletcher bill. The bill provides that fonds are to be appropriated to states in proport,ion to the number of persons 5 to 20 years old in each state. All control, administrati'on, and supervision of educationail programs are left to the states hut the states· must do two things in or.der to qualify: · 1. Maintain a system of public schools available thl'cugho.ut the state for at least 160 days. , 2. Spend from state or local reveniues or from both combined, as much per person 5 to 20 years old for scho{)lls• as was spent ~n the year ending 1936. · If this bill passes, the vision .of a boys' dor!llitory and other needed buildings is very apt to 'become a real~ ity. A complete disc.ussion of this bill niay be found in the Journal of the National Educational Association for Feb1,uary, 1937. WIRTH CONDUCTS DISCUSSION OF AUDUBON SOCIETY AT TRl BETA Willis Wirth 1led a .dJiscussion on J. J. Aiu,du·bon and the ,Audubon societies at Tri Beto, Monday evening, March 1. Mr. Wirth presented the results of his study on· the life of Audubon, the American naturalists, and the organiiiations of bird-lovers which are named after this famou~ se;ientist. Certificates of assocfote membership in Tri Beta were presented to the five new members who were initiated at the last meeting, Those receiving certificates were as follows: EvwHne West, Glen Yon~, Frederick Wolter, Elmer Clarey and Eugent Imler. PJ.ons for the banquet to be held this. semester. were discussed.

The class is especially .u,niqiue because of ;its large male enrollment. 'This semester there are 14 men and 22 women enrolled. Many of .the men in the rlass have expressed the hope that they might develop .better grace and posture, which they feel is missing among Pel'U meri, in addition to actu.ally learning so~et,hing about tap _dancing. [t may 'he that.from this experience men may even il.r!v.ade the other dance co.urses offered .or make dema1uls for new ones. An example of such a new subject wo:uld be social or ballroom dancing-a course which is offered in many progressive colleges today. The persons who are new advocating this innovotion at Peru feel that it would be .usefiul in improving their social efficiency, both in school and in their •li!fe after graduation.

Three initiates, Hubert Johnson, Alphadean Campbell and Eleanor Campbell were taken into the Everett Literary Society at their meeting 'l'h.ursday, Fe'hmary 25. Following the initiation, games were played and refreshments served.

members of the organization will no longer be suppressed .due to a tuneless musical inst11ument. This may re~1ult in the grouip's chan.ging its motto to: "Let's All Smg Like The Birdies Sing." It was also .decided at this meeting that .a membership campaign of a week's duration would soon be started. 'Then, at the next meeting, en March 11, the new members obtained in the drive w;ill be initiated into the organization. The program of the last meeting consisted of two musical nu.mbers:. A song, "My Desire" sun.g by Winifred Uhley, and a violin solo p1ayed by Hattie Richards.

Tenative Schedule Planned for 1937 Football Season In considering a 1937 football schedule, the 11.ocal coaches find some question arising as to the conference· next year, Rumor has it, that Chadron is withdl'awing from the NJ.A.A conference. If Chadron has decided to withdraw, this will leave only three teams, Wayne, Kearney and Pe11u. in the conference. Coaches of the NJ.A.A. eonference are ruow trying to get the Nebr.aska Intercollegiate Church conference to combine with theirs in .one big conforence c·ons.istiilg of eight to ten schools. Coach Gi!keson is trying to arrange the schedule so that Kearney wm play here Homecoming. If he c!oes r.iot succeed in his plan, Wesleyan will be the visitors on Homecoming.

TRI BETA DISCUSSES BANQUET

Peru Needs Debate! That qebate is a distinct asset to any school was clearly demonstrated in last week's debate tournament. That Pen: students are interested in debate was just as clearly demonstrated by the large number of Peru students who helped .in the debate tournament either as chairmen or judges. That Peru's faculty is also interested in debate was evinced by the llJumber of famlty members who acted as judges in many of the debate sessions. The State Collegiate debate tournament is being held at Lincoln Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this weekend. There will be ten or twelve state colleges 1'epresented there. Penu wm not be represented because of "no funds." Can Peru again revive debate in the campus? It is only within the past two years that debate has been discarded, but let's urge that it be brought out of the discard. Peru needs debate!

THE TYPICAL PLAYER FOUND IN VARSITY Don't you sports fans sometimes wonder what constitutes a typical basketball player? A check up was made this week of the height and weights of our varsity squad. By averaging the total weights and altitudes we find ,an average cagester to be exactly 6 feet 4 tall and to carry 170 pounds of bone and muscle. Riggs and Pugh seem to come closest to approaching this average or "typical" cage star. "Slim" McCormick, of course, is the 'ceiling sweeper' of the squad. · He towers 6 feet 4 inches and smashes down the scales to 190 pounds. Mosley is the squad Goiioth; although 2 inches shorter, he outweighs "Slim" 15 pounds. "Shrimp" Sheeley is the watch charm model that keeps the · girls interested. He has to stretch to touch his curly lock against a 5 feet 5 inches mark on the wall, and weighs 150 pounds. The rest of the squad all hover between 5 feet 11 inches and 6 feet 2 inches, and between 150 to 180 pounds. Riggs, 6 feet, 170 pounds; Pugh, 5 feet 11 inches, 170 pounds; an"d Dean, 5 feet 11 inches, 160 pounds are the three regulars besides McCormick. Bailey and Halladay, the competitors for the other forward post opposite Riggs, are 6 feet 2 inches, 180 pounds, and 6 fee 150 pounds respectively. Some of the boys would not commit themselves, as to their ages, so this important factor will have to be left for the fairer sex to determine.

OF OUR GENERATION i' Very definitely- "Ireland" was the CHOSEN FROM ' -. Umcameral at Knvams IS ANALYZED theme, and green was the color scheme FOR. MINK EN.TRY I The "Average Man" whose intelli--Persons who live on campuses are usually "up" on their humor. From that position, we view some of the recent tr<!nds in laughing stock. The tendency of humor in the immediate past has in a large measure paralleled the tendency of art. In fact humor has to some extent become like modern art, requiring dexterity, adroitness and contrivance. Modern humor' like modern art has ten<led to become more abstract-to appeal more to some hidden natural inherited emotion of :humor rather than to the intellect. In modern humor we ·say that we ha.ve acqiuired expressioan1sm in a sense not .unliike the manruer in a sense not uIJ1like the manner. in which painters claim to haae acqu'ired expressionism '.'Ild modern muscians to have acquired swing. Here is an example of some jokes by which Jeanne Plasters and Gracie Allen are particularly afflicted. They will illustrate what we mean by abstraction in humor. These jokes in fact have no point, but we laugh at them anyway because they appeal to our modern highly developed sense of humor. 1. Question: Why is a duck? Answer: Because it has two legs and one is just alike. 2. Question: How are President Roosevelt and President Lincoln alike? Answer: President Lincoln had a beard and if you look real close you'll see that Roosevelt doesn't have any either. With a few examples I might illustrate the evolution of the modern idea of a joke. Some sentimentalist in past ages composed the following little valentine doggerel: "Roses are red and violets are blue; Sugar is sweet and so are you." The generatioru which has just pre ceded us took this and made a joke that ran like this:

at the St. Patrick's party, held by the Early Elementary Club, Monday night.

"Man-on-the-Street" Asks Men's Opinions Of Freshman Rules President and Mrs. Pate returned March 4 from the N. E. A. convention at New Orleans where President Pate attended the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges as well as the convention. Part of the convention's entertainment according to Mr. Pate, was a steak breaicfast served under the old Dualing Oaks in City Park to 7000 people. The breakfast was sponsored by the teachers of New Orleans and in addition to the steak the menu consisted of hot biscuits and.· quantities of fresh fruit, and coffee. An effective and beautiful pageant, "The Glory of Dixie," was given by the white school children of New Orleans Sunday evening. The ·pageant was divided into four parts: 1. The ·social Life in the Old South, 2. The War Peril, 3 The New South, 4 The 'Idealized Mardi Gras. • Nebraska was well represented at the convention. Two former Peruvians, Superintendent A. J. Stoddard, now of Providence, R. L, and Joy Morgan were prominent on the program. The presidents of the fo1'1.r Nebraska teachers colleges were ther~ as well as several outstanding superintendl;nts of schools. Mr. Pate said the meeting was very outstanding not only. for the quality of the meetings, but also for the fine hospitality shown to the visitors by the residents of New Orleans.

The festival is the only event of its kind in the middle west/. :It differs from a contest in that the plays do not compete against each other .but are merely rated on their own merits. As the name indicates, it is a festivaa where everyone gives a play, exchange; ideas, and has a good time. The nearest an:alago.us occ>ston is the play festival held each year at Cape Girar.deau Teachers Colle~e, Caye Girardeau, Missouri. Howev~r, there, only original plays are given ai.d they compete for prizes.

T"me Sigma T.au Delta po:etry magazine will be ready for publication 'by the end of April or soon there· after, it was decided :at ,a mee:tdng of the editor.ial staff last! Thur.sday. h T e editor.fail hoard, composed of student members Virginia Johnson and WiHiam Plucknett, and gr.aduate membe!1S, Dr. Smith, Miss .Marsh, and Mrs. Joder, discui:sed and! decided most of the details of the ·org.anization and p•ublic,at.ion .of the. magarn:ne. ~

The o1riginal plan, to .use ·on!ly poetry ,su'bmatted by i;t.udents ·a1nd f.ac:ulty of the coHege, is .being carried out. The respoooe to .a request for contr.i· butionls wa.s gratifying.

The second ,annU1al .M·!l·N·K Debate Tourniament, one of the po1ular high school to.u.maments conduct.ed by the Draimatic Club, prove.d to be .an o.utstanding ;;ucce~s this year. It was held o.n F1riday and Satul!'day, .March 6 .andi 7.

"One Sunday Afternoon" Supercedes .AJll :Bound13 ot' Amusement "One Sunday Afternoon" was pre· Isented . Friday e.vening, Mar.ch 20, at eight o'clock Dn the college aiuditori.um. This pLay 'by Jame;; Hagan was chosen by the Dramatic Club t(} be given .on! the ".two fo~ one cent" id.e.a and was g.reeted with much enthusiasm .and praiise. Biff Grime!\, a small-town dentist, w:as played excellently .by Bob Weber. He lived his part throl]g'h the entire play. The play opens in the setting of a dentist office of to-day on a Sunday aftemoon. In! his younger cl,ays Biff wou1ld fight from the drop of ,a biat, 'hut had a hark wo11se than his bite. In this Sunday .afternoo·n Biff and hiis p.a1 are haviing a <tr.ink or two. The scene her.e is one of the outstanding onfes in the play, for the .action is

very realistic.. The pal is Clayborn Mort in the role of Snappy. In talkfag over ~Id times .an old Iove affa;ir between Biff and Virginia is brought to light. Wrginia wais the girl of his dreams who manied another man. AIthough B.iff had married Amy Lind and loved hoer, he. still could remember Vi'rgjni.a. Biff has worked for everything, Amy has ·.stuck through everything just to be with hlim, while Virginia ma'l1!1~ed t.he m.an she tho.ught had the 'biggest chance for advance.ment. She had everything mo·ney could buy, but has lacked 'love. When Biff, meets V.irg.inia afte.r 25 years he finds that he rea1'1y does not l-0vie her, but it has bee.n Amy 1all this time. The German .heel' garden ;scene is so realistic .that one :can almolst hear the German band p1aying in the hackgrou:nd. Hugo .is a typical husirnes.s man who thinkl'l of nothing hut hds business.

Hugo w.as played by CJ.elbnd Schmucker. .Mr&. Lind .is the. mother of Amy and waiS weH po'.l'trayed by Louise Scholl. The outstanding players in this play were: Bo'b Weber, as Biff; M.ary

Mrs. John Stahn Gives Shower for Miss Marsh Mrs. John Stahn gave a miscellaneous shower for Miss Marion Marsh Friday, April 2. Twelve guests were present. The eveing was spent hemming tea towels for Miss Marsh. Each guest ;used her imagination as to the distinctve touch in the corner of the towel. The most .uruusual was a ship stitched freehand by Mrs. D. J. Nabirs. Miss Elma Gockley worked her initia.ls in sherthand. When .Miss No;ma Albrecht showed her towel she astounded all, for she had embroidered a short tfune with one col-Or thread and one stitch, a short time with another color thread and ano.ther stitch .untii' she had used each of six dilfferent colors and as many different types of stitches. Miss .Marsh had to wait all this time before she couJd open her gifts. The lovely presents incLuded linens, pottery, glassware and silver. After the refreshments were partaken of, the group wished Miss Marsh great happiness for her future, then dispersed.

The Per.usingers were organized in the winte.r of 1931. The first membersMp was made ·UP from the voice class of their director. Additions we.re made .as needed, and as the applicant showed himself able and willing to meet tihe req;uirements of membership. The purpose .of the group is to provide opportunity for young people preparing for the teaching profession to acquaint themselves with the best of chora1l music. The only requarement at present is to sing in pleasant tone, attend the rehearsals, and display .ability to become one in the gro.up .of man:y.

Al! members of the Singers are Peru students in .reg.ular standing, In order to partidpate in such a trip as this they must be doi~g school work well above the average. Incidentally all expenses of these trips are met 'by the members of the Singers. 'The q.uestion is often asked, ".Are a11I these people music students?" Decidedly not. Naturally most of them are either majoring or minoring in music. There are, however, science, mathematics, English, commerce, and representatives from practically all college departments. At one time in 1~35, five of the eleven tenors were on the starting linel\lp of the Peru Bobcats football team. Singing is a Peru habit, perhaps a bit new but thoroughly studied ancl pursued. The following are some excerpts from ·kindly letters received in refer· An all college dance was held Friday night from 7:3-0 to 10:45 p.m. in ence to the Perusingers.

CONVOCATIONS

The "P" Club Entertains Again The athletes of the campus turn comedians again and enter upon their annual week of furnishing some good, high-class, slap-stick entertainment. As a pleasant diversion from the routine of classes our big, brawny athletes show their versatility and display abilities in the line of juvenile humor. And so, the Peru Students get some choice bits of 10-cent comedy, all free. in their own front yard. (On the other hand, maybe we'd rather spend our dimes and keep it out of our front yard.) The Victors Come Home They went .away with the cheer of the crowd following them. The Perusingers came back to see the same crowd waiting to welcome them home. Same place, same characters, same setting-but the atmosphere was different. They left like courageous, cheerful pioneers, off to conquer new worlds. They came back like tired victors, successful, but too weary to appreciate it. And so the Perusingers brought home the traditional bacon. Our Singers! In spite of difficulties involved due to the incapacitation of several individuals, they did come home bearing reports of a successful trip.

It is interesting to note the progress of the Pageant of Peru. We wonder if it will substitute satisfactorily for' the May Fete? Can it take the place of a beautiful procession of floating, vari-colored organdies and a breath-taking coronation of a lovely queen? We hope so. We couldn't pass up the MINK track meet without making mention of the fact that it ran true to schedule -even to the snow storm. Heaven help us when the industrial Arts contest comes along.

According to a Jetter received by Dean N. Delzell from Mrs. Harriett Blythe of "Montezuma" Los Gatos, California, the kindergarten teachers of the class of 1906 have kept a circulating letter g-0ing for almo~t 31 years. Mrs. Blythe writes: "Last year at the end of 30 years, five of us were still teaching. Bess Bedell, Jennie Jay, Ione Chappell faxton, have taught almost continuously in Omaha. Mrs. Gaile Cochran Gib'bs and I have each gone back to teaching after our two children were halfgrown. She holds a high position in the coilege where she lives. The ;·est are wives and mothers scattered over the country. "We are of the dass of '06 who planned at graduation, a reunion of the entire class in 20 years. This, you .remember, we held in 1936 on the Per.u campus; abaut fifty, including husbands, wives and children attended, and you and Miss Clark were honor g.uests being the only two of the faculty then who had taught us. "Bess BedeH started the letter, giving a list of the girls and addresses in the order which we always follow in sending the letter on. She wrote a letter, sent it to No. 2 who read it, enclosed one of her own sending it to No. 3 etc. and when the fourteenth, Miss Hosmr, received it she read aU, wrot; one .and sent all 14 back to Bess who read them, took out her own and wrote a new one sending it on to No. 2 and so it has gone all these years, each re.ceiving it at least ()nee a Year So that We h.ave been able lo keep in touch with the events in the ·lives of each one. This is a most interesting record and one which .graduates of this year :i ,ay be interested in attempting.

Elizabeth Clarke, Alumna, Tells Flood Experiences In Louisville, Kentucky In describing her ex·periences in the recent flood at Lo1usville, Kentucky, Elizabeth Clarke, class of 1931, writes at follows in a letter received by Miss Tear: "AU but seven of us left here Saturday in cars. . We seven had colds so were sent to bed. The water in the basement had put out the furnace fire. We had a fire in the fireplace in the dinning room. We also had two electric table heaters. "Sunday morning Miss Littlejohn decided the rest of us must leave because the house was so damp. We left in a motor boat and were a f.unn, sight with knitted spreads drape~ around shoulders .and open unibrella..s over some. "We stayed one night with a professor in the highlands. Monday nig.ht we waited an hour in the cold and snow for a train. I was on a p.ullman, some were in baggage cars, We packed on the train. "At Donville we were entertained. I slept iMa church, not for the first time in my i!ife, but the first time a bed was ever provided. "The next day I went on to Lexington to visit a friend and got a haircut for half-price because I was a refugee."

Being loyal Peruvians, you should know that Peru is the center of "Apple 'Blossom Trail extending over a strip of country populated by nearly 15,000 people. The Trail begins .at Union, extends through Nemaha, Brownville, Peru, and ends in Nebraska City, Nebraska's home of the trees. We are glad that practicality does not overlook a tribute to the most beautiful of months-Apple Blossom time in May. Are You Thinking of Estes? The magic word-Estes. You may have heard it murmured here and there, but it's going to be let out in a shout one of these days. Not only for Y. W. and Y. M. members, but for anyone who feels a desire for interchange of ideas in the world wide problem of the work of youth, the probable status of warfare in a few years, the question of how to look at faces of other colors, and self-analysis in personality, does the Estes conference promise all sorts of thrilling things. Or even if you are only endowed with an intro.,pective love of nature, or if you have a desire to meet new faces and learn what's behind them-well, yt)u'll like Estes.

Try a Sunday Dinner at the Bus Cafe

Away back in 1867, before Peru college was in her swaddling clothes, someone conceived the idea that our little spot in the hills would be an excellent place to foster education, and so it began-and. so it's been going on ever since. The Dramatic Club has taken upon itself to administer the biography of Peru college in what promises to be a triumph in the way of collosal events. A page:mt in itself is a rather big affair, but it takes on tremendous dimensions when it assumes the responsibility of adequately portraying 70 eventful years of college activity. It would be too trite to mention the very evident fact that 70 years covers ,a pretty extensive ;.;tretch of time. And the Dramatic Cluh plans to tell it all in one evening! But it can be done, and they show excellent prospects of doing it with a flol.1ri:sh. It ought to be one of the pleasanter ways of taking History.

Budget Committee Changes Policy of Fund Appropriation

The faculty has it worked out now so that the only conflict in semester tests is the persistent springiness of the weather If· the weather man would onl:i compromise and give us rain, thunder, and lightning during test week, examination papers might show a decided rise in value. We can only counteract the cold fear of tests with the warm sunshine on our backs. Wee words of warning, in consideration of the trials you are about to experience: Don't worry too much. Wrinkles are unbecoming to the youthful countenance. Don't hate the faculty for cruelty. Hate is poison:-: ous to the system. Don't wait till Wednesday night to review for a 7:50 Thursday. Wednedsay evening might be too nice to study. · · We hope you have a nice time. Quoted from one who knows (it was heard after an hour of music delightfully played in spite of said ''squeaks" of the "bargain pianos"): "One can not refrain from feeling annoyed at the vicious rattles, squeaks, and general non-pianistic tone quality of the instrurr.ent. Peru is or will 1)e known for its bargain pianos."

The budget committee, at a meeting last T.uesday, May 11, decided to change their policy for distri.bution of the funds for next year. They plan to make the appropriations on a percentage basis. In the past, Jump sums have bern appropriated for indlvidual departments of the budget and if at the end of the year a surplus existed, it was distrib11te<l limong the departments. If a deficit existed ,the c.ommitt.ee was forced to borrow. As a remedy the new plan was decided upon as ls' il1ustrated by the following: . ·. " · · The followin,g burl'get is based'"uj:Jon an estimated income of $6200 to be derived from the sale of budget tickets. If the summer school enroJlme.nt equals thllt of fast summer, the income from the sale of b.udget tickets this year will be close to $6400. It was suggeste.d that budget ticket fonds be divided on a percentage basis and· that each department be given credit for its own gate income, income on c.ontracts, etc. Suggested Division of Funds Tick.

In previous years classes were .assessed in adv.ance to provide the funds. These assessments were often hard to collect and i laced the burden on the students, while the numerous g.uests paid nothing. This year a smali entrance eharge will be made and the cost will be defrayed in this manner. Many Organizations Participate.

Fifty-six seniors will be graduated tomorrow morning at the college commencement exercises. This is considerably less than >last year when 73 received degrees. Two year diplomas will be given to 22. Dr. Earl A. Roadman, president of Morningside College, Sio.ux City, Iowa, wilrl deliver the commencement address. Dr. Roadman is one of the outstanding educators in this part of the country. Following is the commencement program:

mggs, who is already known to Peruvians by his many accomplishments in the fields of Athletics and S.cholarship, has again added another trophy to his collection by being chosen as the 1937 winner of the Swenson medal.

Miss Alice Auxier, soprano, presented her senior voice recital, Friday evening, May 21, at the Music hall before an enthusiastic audience of approximately 150 persons. Miss Auxier was assisted by Miss Ruth Chatelain at the piano and Miss Janet Harris playing the fJ;ute. T·he stage w.as decorate.d with bouquets of spirea, iris, tulips and sweet peas. Miss .Au·xier was charming in a peach colored net dress over satin. She wore .a corsage of talisman roses and Hlies-of-the-valley. The last number on her program, "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark," bro.ught an appeal for an encore, which she gave with "Echo Song" by Bishop. "Mountains" showed to good advantage the strength and clearness of tone of Miss Auxier's voke. Singing as major soprnno soloist, Miss Auxier has been a valuable member of the Perusingers .during her college career. They will find her place hard to fill appreciably.

Following one of the most extensive publicity campaigns that has ever been given an event at Peru, the pageant today is expected to at· tract the largest number of visitors ever present on the campus at one time-at least within recent years. Two performances of the sr ectacle, one at 2 p.m. and the other at 7:30 i-'.m., are providing opportunities for an a·udience of 2,000. A number of well-known Nebraskans have received special invitations from President Pate. Altho.u.gh, when the Pedagogian went to press, n•o report was available from the µresident's secretary as to the actual acceptance, the following received invitations: Roy L.
