STATE OF MINDAt this time of the year an occasional student is seriously asking, "What good will higher education do me?". To this query the eminent Prof. Richard Burton has evolved a per· fect answer': "It will give you a state of mind which you will find the equivalent of a Rolls-Royce car." What good does it do one to fish in the Canadian woods? What good does it do one to live in a fine home? What good does it do one to wear good looking clothes, or to become an expert golfer? It gives one an exalted state of mind. Some can achieve this state of mind only by living in a 30 room house, others by riding the high seas in a private yatch, others by cruising about in a ten thousand dollar vehicle, others by 0rdering everything on the tailor's bill of fare. Still others can get it from. looking at an etching, or a marble figure in an art gallery, from reading a book, from listening to a Beethoven symphony, from an evening's con· versation with a congenial fellow. That's all there is to culture. It's a way of reducing the cost of a happy existence.

·ANNIVERSARYVeteran re~ders of THE PEDAGOGIAN may be aware of the changes in the appearance of this year's PED. For the benefit of freshmen along with the less observin~ individual, let us elucidate. The front page head appears in a script form; columns have been narrowed slightly in width; a new type face is used for the heads. A new printer at the helm is a fact by no means to be overlooked. R. M. King, formerly of Sidney, Iowa, presides over our present publication. Several PEDAGOGIAN staff positions are open this semester, but new blood wishing practical experience in journalism is mot .far in the offing and positions will be filled soon. • Confidentially, this is our twenty-fifth birthday. This marks the twenty.fifth year of a newspaper on the campus. The Normal School Journal came to life in 1905, only to give way to The Normalite the following year. In magazine form, this was published once each month until 1915 when it achieved the size and form of a newspaper. In 1921,' the changing of the school from a nom1al to a state teachers college necessitated another name. Since that time THE PEDAGOGIA..°" has ca.rn.e.d the ~ o! act.iv.ities th.at

Upperclassmen Direct Frosh In Gentle Rrt Of Persuasion To help the freshmen realize their lowly positions, the upperclassmen have inaugurated a few forms of humble servitude-mainly, restricticm of dates, carrying pep signs and stooging for one's favorite (?) up-, perclassman. OI these three stooging is the most in1portant. Unless one has had experience in training a stooge, he fails to realize the trials and trib. . " ulat1ons that anse. The best·stoobes ''ore those about one-third to onehalf your size. This is an important factor in case of revolt. After selecting a puny, undernourished specimen, issue your commands ·in a stern unrelenting voice. The greatest task is conveying the idea of what you desire through the skull of the 'lad. For best results, first demonstrate and then order him to do likewise. Aft-

IF WE ALL THOUGHT ALIKEFour centuries ago Charles V was emporer of the Ger· By Grace Muenchau man empire, which then included most of Europe. He was ~ the most powerful monarch of his time.

But, like other

monarchs, he found the job of ruling people a strenuous and troublous occupation.

In his old age Charles V retired to a monastery to rest his frazzled nerves. There he amused himself by tinkering with clocks. He had a house full of them, and his pet ambition was to regulate them so that all would strike' at precisely the same time. But despite his most persistent e ff orts, he cou Id not make them do it. Finally he gave up, philosophizing as follows:

"I was

can't even make these helpless clocks strike

alike!" The PEDAGOGIAN does not have this mania which pos· .sessed old Charles

Like _dwellers around the foot of a great mountain, none of us can see all s.ides of the mountain; 'neither can we see all the truth about any matter. So, instead of wrangling . among ourselves as to whether the mountain is covered with trees, or is bare of vegetation, or is cut by torrents and rushing strea!ns, or has no streams at all, suppose we get to· gether and compare notes as to the different vi~wpoints. f

Should we find it tiring to cit around a gun and wait for the planes' we can s1.ip away for a few hours and let the trap· do its own work. The flyers see the picture and are quite intrigued.

Tlle pep squaG is oraermg 100 megaphones which will be sold at the football games this fall, according to Mary Grovenburg, vivacious cheer leader. It is believed that these will help to bring added pep to the already highly spirited student body, One hundred students have been selected for membership in the pep squad, 25 of whom are men.

Peru smeared Doane 20-7 in the opening tilt of the season. Prep trimmed Shubert High 8-6. Coach Wheeler was encouraged by the ability of the freshmen on the squad.

I ad dress myself ti1is week to the freshmen and other fellows on the squad who feel that they are not good enough to ever make the team and are on the verge of checking in their equipment. Fellows, it isn't the first 11 men who make the ball club. It isn't the first 22 men who make the ball club, It is these fellows combined with the reserve strength which they have backing them that will make a championship team. There is an old saying that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. At prl'f;ent you may be tying your load up short so that you will only need a few of the stronger links. But someday you will come up against a load on which you will have to use the other links. If these links are prepared for the strain, they will be able to step in without weakening the chain any great degree. The same holds true with a football squad. Even the best of players may become injured. The coaches will then have to look over their stock of reci:uits and pick a man to fill the hole. As a natural thing, they will pick the man whom they think is the best prepared to fill the place. That man could just as easily be you as the next fellow.

Mason kicked two extra points. Doane scored in the fourth period when Bigelow ended a drive he and Neihart engineered. Mcintyre, Floyd, Organ and Roberts were outstanding in Peru's line. Belka, Ogden, Rozdalovsky and Ragatz led Doane. DOANE Pos. PERU

In the Peru camp most of the drill will be stressed on offensive play. Coach Wheeler will hold light drills, with a possible scrimmage Tuesday atfernoon. Wednesday evening will probably see the Peruvians working out under the lights, giving the men an opportunity to become accus~omeG to 11ight play. Coach Wheeler h;:.~ ma~e several changes this week, one of which was the transfer of Oakman, Auburn freshman, from center position to right end. While several veterans of the ,39 squad are absent, it is believed that there is sufficient new material to plug the holes. Last year's meeting featured for Peru, Henderson's' running and Brown's 72 yard punt. Henderson is again playing under the blue and white banner and will probably be TWO YEARS AGO-

Durst T0 Organize Boxing Club Leroy "Shiny" Durst, holder of the Midwest Golden Gloves welterweight championship and present student of Peru, has announced his intention of organizing a boxing club on the campus. Says Durst, "There seems to be a demand for this sort of thing on the campus." The club is to be organized as soon as a location can be had and a time set that will not confiict. Durst is to act as the trainer and Jerry Garber will handle the busi" ness of the club. There will be a small fee to cover the expense of equipment. · With meetings two nights a week, Durst intends to offer instruction in the use of the punching bag, sparring and the general fundamentals of boxing. "S.hiny" hopes, as his proteges develop, to be able to offer several good boxing programs open to the college people.

This is the same question that was used by the Gallup poll in polling a cross section of the 21,000,000 Americans between the ages of 16 and 24. Although it seems to me a poorly worded and misleading question it has been used, as was the question last week, to compare the Peru students with the general publie. . . The IIllportance of the various student reactions to the question is not in the yes and no answers but in the reasons i;:iven, for they go much further than mere negative or affirmative answers in explaining a otudent's attitude toward the fundamental theory of peace time draft · • TED GRAVES: "No, it is contrary t? all our principles of freedom and liberty.

Prof. Steck Supervises Convo-noers' Hilarity o

If student co!hment is any measure, last Friday's convocation Ullder the supervision of Prof. G. Holt steck proved to be a great success. To thread a needle, Bill Brooks needed the help of his freshman stooge, Neil McCory, who in turn required the assistance of Prof. Steck. The call of the wild by Jack Mcintire and Dean Karr were realistic. Jerry Garber and Prof; Robert D. Moore led the convo-goers in some roof-lifting yells, with Prof. Steck leading community singing at intervals.

Outlaws in 1884--Heroes in 1940: such is the fate of the Per~vians who played the first football m the annals of Peru. In the autumn of '8.4, . a group of hoodlums were organized under captam-and-cc1ach D.. D. Ashl~y, now a promment New York City physician. Ignoring strict regnlations these fellows assembled in a ' . .. pasture east of our present gridiron . . . and proceeded to enJOY a pigskin tussle, with hu5'.'y Bill York ofl'ic~atmg. They paid dearly for their b· d ti savagery- emg expel1e promp y by an indignant faculty for such atrocious conduct: Not until 1892 was a team ofiicially sanctioned, and they played th · eir games away. R. D. Moritz, at present on the University of Nebraska faculty, was captain and coach of this aggregation. Moderate success was achieved, and in stride with the team, Professors Howie, Whitenauk and Porter personally financed the clearing of our natural bowl, east of campus proper. All male students and fac-

. ulty members donated labor, and m a few weeks the field w~s ready for use. . . On Thanksg1vmg. Day of .1901 the new field was .dedicated with . Peru . ~oundly trouncmg. Falls City Hlgh '."chool 30-0, starrmg Harry Hutchmson, local elevator man. Thus was the long trail of pigskin glory, gloom and tradition begun. . Steady improvement has follow. ed that memorable year. It is one ?f the fe~ natural amphitheatres m the nation. Bleachers were con. fte structed m 1910. A few years a r the changing of the Normal school to a State Teachers college in 1921, the whole arena was enlarged. A tile drainage system was laid under the sod of the entire field and the track was built. Peru celebrated installation of stadium lights in 1930 with a 13-0 triumph over Maryville. The football men now were named "The Bobcats." The P. s. T. c. mascot (decease<!) came to Peru in 1926, a presentation from George Hanoon of Arizona, who is a graduate of Peru.

ffiusic Hath Charm To Soothe---Rt Times Someone once said that "Music hath charms to soothe the savage Heart."

Don't take me wrong. I'm not saying that Yankee was that sort of fellow, but that's my general impression. That was the kind of people the song writers wrote about in 1700.

What makes Peru's Team

After defeating the St. Benedict Ra"rens in the opening game of the season, the Cats slowed to a walk and were held to a tie by Northwest Missouri State Teachers of Maryville, Mo. George E. Hansen, a graduate of 1912, wired Dean Delzell that a live bobcat was being sent from Arizona to be used as a mascot.

Nemaha threatened late in the third quarter, but the Prep defence stiffened, and thus the third quarter ended. The Nemaha offensive began to click early in the fourth period; but a penalty and a stiffening of the Peru line held them and Prep carried the ball out of the game. Bob Brown, Ogg and Smith were outstanding for Peru while Chand!er and the Millhouse brothers looked good for the losers Coach Fisher stated th~t he was well pleased with the team as a whole.

• There were numerous reasons giv· upport of each candidate. ~emm:Jority of those supporting lt ave one of the following Rooseve g r easons: 1. In such an' international crisis a change would be dangerous. 2. Roosevelt has had valuable experience and thus is much b.ett~r qualified than Willkie. 3. W1llkie hasn't anything; he is a big noise. 4. Willkie is an industrialist supported by Wall Street. • . · . Nearly one half of Willkie's supporters opposed a third. term., The others felt his success m busi~ess made him best suited for the JOb, that Roosevelt had dictatorial ambitions or they disagreed with the fundamental policy of the new deal.

Green beanies and expressions of assumed humility are being worn by 150 freshman girls, initiation rules having been posted at noon Friday, Oct. 11. Victims of upperclassmen's annual. tyranny read the following regulations: 1. Freshman girls will wear the perennial beanies level with the eyebrows until after Peru has defeated Tarkio on Homecoming Day. On Oct. 19, however, they may be worn as becomingly as possible, lest some alumnus report P.S.T.C. and the institution be forthwith dropped from the Northcentral Aissociation. 2. No dating until Homecoming. Exceptional co-operation will be received from freshmen fellows. Upperclassmen know better. 3. For meals only: Blondes will please· make up heavily on the right side of the face; all others on the left. During the evening meals, hair nets will be worn beneath aforementioned beanies. 4. Entrance to either dorm will be · made via the back doors. 5. The elevator is a convenience denied all members of the new class. 6. Freshmen will extend conscientious courtesies to upperclassmen: opening doors, carrying books, tying shoestrings, picking up dropped articles, etc. When addressing upperclassmen, accompany words with "Ma'am." 7. Freshmen will comply with any upperclassman's request that her bed be made up by the initiate, if the request is ~

At one time or another we have very likely lost a coin or two through a hole in some pocket. It is irritating and somewhat tear-jerking, to find one's "coin of the realm" gone wlien he did not have the fun of spend· ing it. Such losses are trifling compared with the mental losses which slip away from us through holes in our pockets. More-0ver, it is impossible to retrace our steps to repair the damage done by our neglect. The~ opportunity for culture that es-

High School Elects Officers The first week in November may be election week for the nation but last week was election week in the high school. Officers for all classes and a social committee were chooen. The senior class elected Betty Kennedy, president; Anna Burch, vice president; and Wilma Walker, secretary and treasurer. Jack Whisler was chosen president of the junior class; Clyde Hunzeker, vice president; Ward Ad· ams, secretary; and Charles H(;llning, treasurer.

First class honor rating was received by the 1940 Peruvian of last year. Out of the 50 books entered, Peru ranked ninth place. Ten books were granted the first cla~s honor rating also. Peru's book was entered in the class of small universities and larger colleges of 500 to 1,000 students.

The mascot of Peru College returns home after a long visit with the taxidermist. Two years ago the bobcat died a natural death at the age of 12 years. Since that time the mascot has been in the hands of Karl Schwarz, taxidermist in Omaha. The bobcat looks very real as he stands in the display aase on third floor of the Science Hall.

The college chemistry laboratory proved to be of much interest to the training school chemistry class Tuesday, as they were ushered about by Dr. Charles Seegmiller and student teacher Ross Russell: Dr. Seegmtller explained the variolljS devices and materials used as the group proceeded through the lab· oratory.

'"Petrified Forest" Presented For Grads BY DR. A. L. BRADFORD The Peru Dramatic Club submitted its first work of the year last Saturday night with a production of Robert E. Sherwood"s celebrated play, "The Petrified Forest." The play must be written down a distinct success and a pleasant augury of dramatic things to be. A large audience of college drama patrons and Homecoming celebrants received the play most favorably. And well they might. Here was theatre worth all it cost in toil and trouble, and in a play of the structure and thematic weight of "The Petrified Forest," there is plenty of both. The choice of the Sherwood drama was most fitting. The press of international events and the consequent widespread disilliusion and pessimism give this play an unusual appositeness at the present time. Whether or not the higher human values are so important in the face of mindless brutality as Mr. Sherwood seems to suggest, "The Petrified Forest" does provacatively mirror the macabre expectations of many thoughtful persons today. Moreover the Dramatic Club in this latest production has demonstrated that it is not afraid to tackle drama of brutal realism with disconcerting intellectual suggestions to boot when that drama is significant as art. That "The Petrified Forest" is good entertainment none who saw the play can doubt. To those to whom it is given to construe its often enigmatic implications it is considerably more than that. To repeat, tne product10n was first rate. The cast from top to bottom was a good one. Dean Karr as Alan Squier, the disillusioned sophisticate, gives a credible portrait of one who is spiritually at the end of his rope. Although Squier was a shade more emotional than I would have him, it is consistent throughout and evocative of real interest. Margery Kinsey's Gabby Maple. daug·hter of a filling station p:wrielor, was rJn acceptable, though not quite sufficiently lyrical, embodiment of the sensitivity and idealism in which the frustrated Squier can no longer believe. L 1o yd Dunlap, as Boze Hertzlinger, plays convincin;;ly the simple ex-foo~b&ll star and clumsy lover of Gabby in whom Sherwood incarnates natural impulse with which to oppose the sophistication of Squier and the yearning for it in Gabby. James Sandin's Duke Mantee was one of

Although the cast was large the effeet of crowding was avoided and a fluid shifting of stage groupings secured.

marching Band members need Rn Extended Sense Of Humor

There are- just two ·ways to do a thing~the right way and the wrong way. Psychologists agree that man invariably learns the wrong way first. This should cheer all Americans, for F. D. R. has already learned the wrong, way; now perhaps, he will give us four years of government the right way. J.

BOB CARMICHAEL ENTERS HOSPITAL Bob Carmichael, '35, one of Peru State's outstanding athletics, has been forced to resign his position as athletic coach at Blue Hill high, school due to illness. A year ago he fractured both legs in an automobile accident. Although ·he was in the hospital for several weeks at the time, one of the .injuries failed to heal properly. He has now entered the Mary Lanning Memorial hospitail in Hastings, where he is receiVing further treatment.

Being able to march with the college band is an accomplishment. , . . . If you don t believe it--pick up a bass horn and try it. You will be assigned a position in the last rank-right pivot, thereby inheriting the job of keeping at a distance, approximately two and a half yards from the rank in front of you. You must also keep your rank straight and stay directly in line with your file. When the signal to start is given, you step off with the drum beat, and when the halt is signaled you wait 'till the end of the drum beat, then slack your left foot against the right. The drums beat a tempo of 170 to 175, which means you take approximately 2.9 steps per second, and, if you don't practically knoc.k your teeth out with your knee at every step you will hear Crawford, or more likely, Snyder, call none too gently, "Pick up your feet!" Besides keeping in step, picking up your feet, keeping your rank and

You must also be prepared to play from memory ")Jational Emblem" or the trios of "Stars and Stripes Forever" or "Ou~ Director." Lastly, you must be punctual at 7:00 practices and not weaken when there is a two hour period. It isn't really so hard, though, after all, you he.ve Jindra, Crawford, Mary, Snyder and all the members to correct you when you make a mistake.

HOW TO GET DRESSED IN TEN MINUTES Obviously, this advice to follow is not for male consumption. Firstly, no inan would consider wasting ten minutes to dress; secondly, what man takes advice from a lowly woman? So fems listen-who knows, perhaps tomorrow morning you will. have to dress in ten brief minutes. In• order to insure positive surefire suceess, observance of a few simple rules the night before is required. Pick out the next day's costume, sew up all the bursted seams, secure a button for each button hole, .press out the wrinkles and lay away for rapid donning next morning Since there is a possibility of sleeping until 7:45-wouldn't that be terrible-set the alarm clock. Various make-up essentials should be gathered toge.ther-one can't afford two minutes to find a stray lipstick or comb. Let's pretend the alarm has just gone off.

If you're the neat sort, you perhaps llke to make your bed before noon. This can easily be done during the few seconds remaining. Showers, breakfast can be had only on a half-hour schedule. There are, naturally, a few limitations to getting dressed in ten minutes-one of which is looking just like you'd dressed in ten minutes.

Since the fall of France, we have become even more conscious of the need for closer cooperation. The French Republic fell partly because of the lack of unity in their government. Let us remember the words of Abraham Lincoln when in similar position to Mr. Roosevelt, said, "If we do not make common to save the good old ship of the union on , this voyage nobody will have a chance to pilot her on another voyage." The experienced judgment of the American people -winners or losers-in our best assurance at this time that there will be no division to hamper proceedings in America today. • To Mr. Seversoo may I say, "I am a republican, but I am an American first.'~

• Of course, it goes without saying that over one half of tl:l:ese students are Republicans but the mere fact that several are Democrats, that they favored Roosevelt is enough to Lridicate that partisanism isn't the only facto1; in.. their opinions. • 'Ihe American Institute of Publie Opinion shows the same thing; in a. recent poll 27 per cent of the :i;eople voted for more business regulation by the government and 51 per cent voted for less. • Judging from the reasons given in the two polls, the war in no way influenced the vote, thus indicating that these are fundamental beliefs. • To me it seems a bit odd that someone didn't use the international situation as a reason. Precedent proves to many that immediate govemment interference in a time of emergency is inadvisable. • After the war, then what? Unless something unexpected happens it seems certain that there will have to be some kind of reorganization, some way to regulate distribution, or the American people will find themselves faced with overproduction and lacking an adequate system of distribution.

wide. Midway in the second period Peru end Dougherty intercepted a pass thrown by Chadron end Bruer, and raced 50 yards before finally being downed on Chadron's 13. Mather picked up two yards over right tackle and then, on one of those beautifully executed reverses zipped through the right side of the line and over the goal line. The blocking in the line and the deception in handling the ball was ~u good on this 'play that not a Chadron man touched Mather. A wagon could have driven through the hole in the line and not a secondary defense man sensed that J\'1ather had the ball until he was on the goal line. Mason, who came back to do some of the kicking, faked a placekick and passed to Mather in the end zone for the extra point. RESERVES SCORE Late in the period Peru back George Atwood intercepted another Chadron pass to be downed on the Chadron 20. Handley, one of the Peru reserve backs, twice . struck through the line to take the ball down to the 8 and Jack Snider, another secondstring back, went wide around end for the touchdown.

was the first president's hom~, which, incidentlly, is the only section that didn't burn when the former Mt. Vernon Hall was demolished by flames. The first dean of women was fluttery, petite, firm and one who upheld conventions. Sixteen years ago no student was allowed out after nine-tllirty at night. Freshmen were forbidden to ieave the dormitory. When the Jibrary was open evenings, students were allowed to study there if they secured and filled out a library permit card which stated the subject they were going to study and the name of the instructor of that subject. Eliza Morgan Hall was opened in 1929. At the hou_sewan:hing an orchcstra played m the recreatwn hall. The students took advantage of the music and danced-thus scandalizing the campus. When questioned concernin"0 the duties of a dean of women, Mrs. Dunning chuckled and said, "Everything from feeding a girl a dose or medicine, to taking the hat off a man in the parlor."

•j Student Speaks· By LeRoy Redfern

.J1 q

Last week ~ chanced to hear a "man on the street" program discussing the president's message to congress. One of the several who comni.ented favorably was asked if ·he thought totalitarianism could !!nd would b~ defeated· now that Unltecl· States i§ to act as an arsena:l for the democracies. His answer was "I don't think, I know, we have the materials to do it and God is on our side."

•

Mrs. Roosevelt has spoken harshly of those who had the audacity not to applaud many sections of the president's speech. ·There is no doubt in- her mind just as there was no doubt in the mind of this man on the str~et that President Roosevelt's speech gave the most logical, the right course for United States to follow.

•

Yet, there are persons who will take issue with the President's point of view in spite of how obviously correct many believe him to be. One of the most interesting of this school of thought is the once notable, now suspicioned, Anne Morrow Lindbergh.

And he spoke unto himself saving, "For lo these many days r ·have dwelt in the city of my fathers with other• of my tribe. Each day bringing forth in )l.ue season its pleasu:e and joy. And he went forth among his friends and they reveled one with another. And lo, one appeared among them who was given to sobriety. And he' spoke unto the revelers ih a loud voice saying, "Behold I bring you sad tidings. The days of merry making are consumed.

Peru's Bobcats swung along in stride Saturday night to submerge the University of Mexico's fast team 42-39, in the first international game of the year. In the preliminary g-ame the "B" squad rolled over the Red Oak Junior college, winning by a considerable .margin. The. Cats got off to a charp lead, but were hotly pursued in the scoring melee of the first canto. The half time score found Peru with a bare l\largin of three points. The Bobcats tigl?tened up their defense to begin the second half and the Mexicans promptly cut loose from far out-court with long shots to move up into a tie at 25 all. There were 10 minutes left when Grubaugh came into the game an~ sco~ed three quick bucket:; to push the Wheelermen into .a lead that they held up to the final gun.

Win or lose the Bobcats have something this year that the majority of teams do nllt have. The whole student body is back of them, and i:'. anybody doubts that fact, all the proof that is needed is preEent at all the home games. To date, the old gym has housed more enthusiasm this season than has been shown in many years. The marvel of it all lies in the fact that the team has just hit their stride, and have not wan all their games as they have the past three years. The team that has such support in all its encounters this year, without winning the majority, has the backing that is needed to encourage the boys in blue to meet the best the stat~ has to offer, and fight the battle through without faltering. The coaches and players both appreciate those cheers that take all the sting out of the bitterest of their defeats, a:id the best they can do to express their gratitude is to continue to play with all they have, and never lie down. The band and cheering section merit special a~tention for their fine efforts, and it is hoped that their spirit follows those Bobcats through the season and right into the tournament at Kansas City.

She was a guest at the T-party given by Coach Shaughnessy for Coach Biff Jones' Cornhuskers. At the game ohe screamed, gnawed fingernails, jumped, stampe.d and grew weak from excitement just as we did in front of our radios. Outstanding players, to her, were Albert and Kmetovic and Nebras~ ka'o ever charging Francis. "Nebra£ka's band put on a glorious show. During the half they marched into the formation of a huge bell and played, "The Bells cf St. Mary's." A h·Jsh fell over tile stadium of 92,000 impressed spectators. As a conclmion to the half tim~ period, three .bands played en m;s.e, "Gcd Bless America." Before the game 1,500,000 watch-

A large .N which rotated, formed the background for Nebraska's sweetheart. On one side, in flowered letters, was written 50th Anniversary of Football and on the other side, 75 Years of Statehood for Nebraska." In all the floats 16 million blossoms were med and each blossom was put in place with hot glue. "All the Nebraskans were treated royally during their visit in California." Mrs. Dunning continued, "the spirit at the ganie almost made up for the loss." It was an established fact, Mrs. Dunning said, that there never was a finer game in the Rose Bowl and from her erithusiasm it is now an established fact that she has already had a good beginning for s. Happy New Year.

L~ll as

a sport has an indefinite number of attractive points of interest for both spectators and players. However, as the situation stands the majority of_ the bleacherites do not or cannot appreciate a third of what is taking place before them on the floor. In any ordinary game, the average individual, even the insignificant female (??), can sit in the bleachers and enjoy tl;le sport. All they see is 12 men running all over a floor, two of which are officials. They throw a ball around that is abourt a foot in diameter, and endeavor to throw it through a hoop that is fastened on a board that is suspended about 10 feet in the air and ill perpendicular to "the floor. As the game progre8ses, they hoot and howl if their team is ahead, a.nd if th~y are losing they sulk a bit and b:ing forward their "ifs" on this play and that one. Then too, they do get awfully aggravated at those birds in the striped shirts ttat make a habit of taking the ball a.way from your team and let the other side take a free shot, and right when we were about to make a basket too! ! On the other hand, there are those who know what is going on, and the entertainment is doubled as they watch the game. They are the select few who can sen.se set plays, thrill at a trick pass on a, fast break or ur.derstand that the officials garb is for distinction and not to represent an institution they seem to have been a part of.

Mexico U. three out of five bleacherites would cite some pretty shot or sensational pass interception. I think that the other portion would be likely to name one incident that drew their attention the most. In the closing minutes of the game Peru was under the basket attempting to score. The ball got away and Mcintire and one of the Mexicans were tussling for possession of the ball. In some miraculous manner, Mac's elbow accidentally came in sharp contact with the dark lad's chin. In turn, he happened to have his fist clenched, and in the midst of his wild antics, it thoughtlessly, although very appropriately, landed full in Jack's breadbasket. When they got up for the jump ball in the free throw lane, they both eyed each other appraisingly. The Mexican swore fluently in surprisingly good English. If that poor guy had chosen to continue his pugilistic relations with the Rowdy One, there would have been a million and·a half Nebraskans paying taxes to repair the hole in the wall that poor helpless fellow would have made as he flew tBrough for points south, after Mac laid one on him. The moment was a tense one and in the excitement of the close game anything could have happened. As it turned out the game went on and a good many fans quit holding their collective breath.

Grubaugh and Walker Account for 26 Points TO Lead 'Cats Pascal Outstanding On Defense

The Bobcats opened thefr confereEce title chase Friday night with a rousing 42-38 conquest of Kearney's Antelopes. Peru's fine defense was more than Kearney could cope with, as they failed repeatedly to break throug·h. Only in the last half did they outscore the Cats, as Journey started hitting from he side. Kearney got the first score, but. Grubaugh promptly dumped in one from the side, and Pascal followed with another, and the Cats g·ai!ned their lead that they held for the remainder of the game. Grubaugh tossed in 14 points for high point honors, closely followed by Walker with 12. The half-time score read 20-13 in favor of Peru, and the thrill of the contest came with only three minutes left. Peru led 40-34, then McIntire fouled out. Pascal and Walker then directed a stalling game well in Kearney's end of the floor. The Bobcats whipped the ball around rapjdly as all five of them rotated {n offense, and Kearney players could do little about it. Prep Will Vie In Box ScoreJohnson Tournament Peru fg ft pf .

Prep Loses To Brock 18-12 In County Finals

Peru's Bobkittens encountered trouble and tough breaks ·!IS they lost In the final round of the Nemaha County tournament to Brock by a score of 18-.12. From the beginning the team was hit hard by the flu epidemic. Smith, stellar guard, was' forced to the bench and saw no action at all. others were able t-0 play but were not in prime condition for tcurnament play. . The prepsters fouled freely in the final game, but Brock only took advantage of a small percentage t-0 hold the score down. In the opening rounds, Prep took the count of both Julian and Nemaha, by the respective scores of· 23-13 and 23-18. They lost the final by an 18-12 verdict. This week the Kittens meet the R-Ockport Bluejays in the preliminary to the Culver-Stockton game. The team should be back at full strength, and a good game should be the result. The game will be played on Wednesday, and play will get under way at 6:30 p. m. 1'

Peru Senior Writes Article For Peabody Journal "Why I Look Forward to Trnching," an article written by Ruth Johnson, senior, was published in the January, 1941, issue of the Peabody Journal, an education magazine edited by the Peabody College, Nashville, Tennessee. Each year the college sends letters to the 200 state teacher's colleges in the United States asking for articles written by one or two seniors from the college on the t,opic, "Why I Look Forward to Teaching." The articles are to be based on the student's own ideas and are chosen for their possible inspirational values to other students and the c0mposition. From the 200 entries this year, five other students received recognition: Elizabeth Coppedge, East Carolina State Teachers College, Greenfield, North Carolina; Glen Davis, State Teachers College, Canyon, Texas; John Meyers, Teachers College, New Britain, Con1:1.ecticut; Thelma Sprow, State Teachers College, Shippensburg, Pennsylvlania; Katherine Bennett,

State Normal School, Oneonta, New York. When asked how she was informed of the acceptance u£ her article, Ruth laughed, "Last Friday I received three copies of the Peabody Journal in the mail. No letter or notification accompanied them. When I saw my name, I looked for sure to see if I was the Ruth Johnson whose article was published. My roommate said I cad the oddest expression on my face when I i;ealized that I was the one! It was the first article I had ever written and I certainly never expected it to be published." Ruth spent about two weeks "off and on" writing the article. It was between 500 and 60() words long. In preparing herself to write, Ruth gave this information: "When Dr. Baker asked me if I wanted to enter, I had to confess that I didn't even know what the Peabody Journal was. So, I went over to the library and read the articles (Continued on page four)

St\mmer found him working in Hastings State Hospital at Ingleside, and in 1939 he taught math· ematics and science in Alma, Ne· braska, high school. In the fall of 1940 Mr. Fleharty joined the Lakeside, Nebraska, faculty as superintendent and instn1ctor of math and science. Here he revived his o1d interest in physical education. A high school basketball star, Mr. Fleharty had at Hastings traded his Keds for a rubber apron and dug his toes into the science department. With poised and reserved friendliness, the tall, blond teacher submitted to questioning about first impressions. "The work is more difficult than the teaching I've been doing in high school," he said thoughtfully. But judging from student comments, this already popular faculty member is really "in the groove.'' "Peru," he added, "is one of the finest equipped places I have run across." Mrs. Fleharty, a major in ele· mentary education, taught near Hastings for four years. Question· ed about the "rest of his family" his direct blue eyes twinkled. "We have an eight and a half months· old baby.'' (He is less modest about her than his steady rise in his own field). "She IS pretty," he volun· teered, and gentlemen friends in the mens' dormitory, which has been temporary residence, confirm this statement of the active little blonde who daily covers consider• able ground a la perambulator.

Idle Recollections of when Grandma Wore a Ruffled Nightcap Ooer Her Curls •

Cheerfully he announced, "I'm gonna go to Peru when I grow up, and I'm gonna play center· on the football team just like Jack Mcintire does." Putting his visitor more or less on the spot he queried, "Jim Mather was a dandy player wasn't he?" Of his life's ambition, he casts an admiring eye at his father as he blurts "I'm gonna be a doctor, and . a good one I bet. Right now I know lots about it, and I'll learn lots more besides."

Football is a great game, a growing sport and is rapidly becoming emphasized to such an extent that it is looked upon by some "socalled institutions of learning" as a business. Many colleges believe in a system of open recruiting and make no pretense about going out and hiring a particularly good guard or halfback. This, sooner or later, will destroy one of the finest sports that has ever been invented. When a team takes on such a commercial aspect that their players are individually ·grouped on cards according to their abilities the time has come for a general cleanup. The South-East and South-West conferences have their players weaknesses recorded on cards. If he isn't adept a.t passing or punting, it is checked on his card and the coaching staff sees to it that each boy spends his spare time working on his weaknesses. Frequently boys are high-pressured into enro1ling at colleges where spending money, clothes, t.uittion, board and room are free, merely for playing football for the school. What the unsuspecting f f { hig•h school boy .doesn't know is that they have to try out for the squad in the same manner as professional baseball players. If they ' are good enough they are taken care of. If they fal !short, and fail to come up to the standards, they have to get back home on their Spurting in the final penoa, own.

As Jack Mcintire says, quote, "the reason we lost that game lay in the fact that we couldn't get the ball through the hoop as fast as they could." The Cats struck early, and built up a 12-3 lead at the mid-point of the first half, but let down to hold only a 16-15 lead at h:.termission. In the last stanza Wayne swished t h e m through 'from all angles, to sink the Peru five with ', 16 points to spare. The win gives Wayne a cinch for a ~hare of the title, and. should the Bobcats win one of their games from Chadron, Wayne will hold undisputed claim to the trophy. In the State League, Wayne remains at the top, with a very bright chance to remain there for the rest of the current campaign. As a result they stand as the logical choice to represent the College circuit at the Kansas City Tournament this year.

benefit to him after he graduates. The Pacific Coast Conference was just as bad as the South until former G-Man Atherton de-emphasized the sport to such an extent that the· coast· schools are now playing on a more amateur basis. When a game is emphasized to the point that a coach must put a winning team on the · field or lose his job, it is evident that the sport is going to be harmed, and that if winning at any cost becomes the accepted theory, it will quickly destroy the game itselL Pittsburg became so powerful they had difficulty in filling their schedule because schools competing on an honest basis didn't have a chance. As a result, Pittsburg had to take steps to eliminate open subsidization and recruiting of pro~pective stars. The collapse of Chicago can be attributed to the same reason. During the Golden Age of Stagg's powerful Maroons there wasn't a team in tpe country that could. stay in the same field with them, consequently the game became so over-emphasized that it killed itself. Now Chicag·o, the one-time-power of the Big Ten, has been forced to withdraw from the conference because of the perpetual defeats they suffered after they reorganized their athletic sy~.tem. These schools must be eliminated from the schedules of the colleges who are consistent with the laws of amateurism, and only rescbeduled when they are willing to come back and play the game according to the code and compete on an equal basis with other institutions. Football is the greatest team game that has ever been produced. It has become firmly imbedded in tthe hearts cf the sports-loving public as the most stimulating and exciting of all athletic contests. We have an obligation to the boys of the coming generation to protect a game which is so richly worth preserving and eliminate all the evils which will tend to detract

The games will determine the winner of the NIAA, inasmuch as Wayne has only one defeat, as has Chadron. Chadron must win both from Peru to say in the first place tie. Very likely Chadron, on the strength of two wins over Peru would be given an inside chance to. be invited to the tourriaa1rnt in Kansas City. The Bobcats are out of it, and they have a real grudge to wear off against those Chadron Eagles.

Preuiew of Next Band Concert March Fourteenth •

......

When the college band presents its next concert March 14, a wide variety of numbers will be used. The two most contrasting possibly are "Prayer and Dream Pantomime" and "Headlines." "Headlines" is a modern'. rhapsody composed by Carleton Colby and scored for band by Fred K. Huffer. It is an impressionistic reflection of the violent pace of modern life. The music does not seek to imitate, but rather to reflect in modern music idiom a cross section Of me from the standpoint

of a press room. It resounds to the rhythm of daily hm:ilan struggle, the rhythm of life. The opposite type of music is found in "Prayer and Dream Pantomime," taken from the opera, "Hansel and Gretel," by . Humperdincf;. It is the picture -of two children lost in the woods, who kneel at nightfall, say their prayers, and fall asleep as angels watch over them. Its slow, sustaining tone character essentially differs with the every varying dynamic modern harmonies of "Headlines."

EDUCATION AND THE PRESENT CRISIS-:

an~ the facts of the present situation which should

JllOSt concern educationalists? affiliated with the Institute of Inter· N·.orman An<>ell, o national Education, advance·s such facts as these: "The nfost . •learned generation the world has ever known seems to be · in a fair way of proving itself the most foolish and cruel, the

~ost destructive of its own happ.iness. Never before in history have men had at their disposal so much accumulated knowledge, so many records, libraries, newspapers, schools, colleges, lectures, and profossors; never before in history have men possessed such amazing instruments (e. g.) the radio) for the exchange of information and ide'lls. Never before has nation been able to speak to nation, instantan· eously across the width

of the earth, as nations can speak

today. "Yet as a result of it all men seem less capable of man· aging their society than they were twenty-five l.mndred years ago i·n, say, Athens, which had very few

books

indeed and

no newspapers, no radios, no printing, and twenty-five hundred years' le~s of accumulated knowled,ge than we have. Tqday the most learned nation of the world, the most scho1astically drilled, possessing proportionately more professors •and teachers than any other, is precisely the nation which is showing itself politically the least wise . • • The governments which driftecl to war in 1914 were for the most part . made up from the most ·highly .educated classes. The .diplomacy which led to that war had been in the hands of highly . educated men. "One can indeed .venture this proposition: If ihe world has nearly destroyed itself, it is not from lack of know. ledge in the sense that we lack the knowledge to cure can· ·.cer or release afomic energy (this last, incidentally, being ;·piece of knowledge which would probably finish civllized rhankind) but is due to the fact that the mass of men have not applied to public policy knowledge which they already possess which is indeed of almost universal possession, deducible from the facts of everyday life.

off

"If this is true-and it seems inescapable-then no edu· cation which consists mainly in the dissemination of "know· ledge" can save us. If men can disregard in their policies the facts .they already know, they can just as easily disregard new facts whicih they do not at present know. What is needed is the development in men of that particular type .of skill which will enable then to. make social use of knowledge already in their possession; enable them to apply simple, self. evident, truths, to the guidance of their common ·life. . .. "A large part of Western Europe has repudiated that truHi, repudiated it, perhaps, because our very elaborate educatio~ does not manage somehow to make certain elementary truisms clear to the multitude; does not give the millions that pass through its mills an understanding of the society of which they are a part, and which, as citizens and voters, they are called upon to manage and direct.'! .

bombed important objeetives "Provide for the common Defense," and by early March the Finns "Promote the General Welfare," were defeated.

• The Finns fought· iike demons for almost five inorttl;is. On March 13, 1940, when the hostilities .ended .there were 22,000 dead Finns; 75,000 wounde·d and 600,000 refugees from the areas seized by Soviet Russia.

• Finland gave 10 per cent of her railroads away and leased her peninsula for 30 years. The war cost $600,000,000 for . a nation whose income is al· most two-thirds of that.

.o But 1941 will be the worst year in Finland's history. The ration of butter and all fats is about six ounces a week. For want of coal they have cut 17,000,000 cubic meters of wood. Rec,ently Finland's Minister to U. S. said, "If we can't get help, we will starve and freeze." Grain in the warehouse is down to a threemonths supply.

• The cruelest blow was the refusal of the U. S. to lend money to them for food. For Finland is under suspicion of letting food trickle through to Germany. Actually there is small basis for this belief. The northern parts are blockaded and under strict control. Imports for Finland and Swe· den are the only countries given consideration and Finland needs everything she can get for herself.

• This is the story of Finland who had not asked for war, yet fought like a giant with admirable skill and courage. · .. ·Most important of all, the · Finns face peace with as much courage as they faced war.

and "Secure the Blessings of Liberty." Highlights of the convention were addresses by John W. Studebaker, United States Commissioner of Education; Phillip Murray, president of the C.

Crabtree; Joy Morgan, editor of the Joumil of Education for the National Educational Association; Professor Benson of ,the New York University; and Alexander J. Stoddard, superintendent of Philadelphia schools, who was also a speaker at the convention. i

Calendar

----·---The studio audience cheered for 15 minutes at its conclusion, the switchboards in the New York and Hollywood studios were unable to handle the telephone calls regarding this rousing composition, and an unprecedented amount of mail requested a repeat performance. Those were the effects of the first sti~ring performance of "Ballad for Americans" sung by Paul Robeson and chorus, which the Perusingers will present March 16 in the college auditorium. This modern cantata is based on four high spots in our national history: the Revolution, the growth of the Union, the Civil War, and the Machine Age. The figure of the soloist is an epic one in the sense that Abraham Lincoln, Paul Bunyan and John Henry were epic figures. Towering above the people, he embodies their yearnings, their .§powledge of this history, their enctl:ess curiosity about each other and their basic hope in the future. Although sometimes dramatic, the general characteristic of the number is its

simplicity and realism. John Latouche, who wrote the words for "Ballad for Americans" attended Columbia University where he won the Poetry Awards for two successive years. In 1937, he felt an urgent necessity to combat intolerance and prosecution, s.nd wrote the original poem in ballad form, using the narrative history of the United States as a guide to Freedom and Democracy. Earl Robinson studied music at the University of Washington where he was graduated in 1933. During July and August of that year he traveled in the Southern States collecting folk songs and folk material which he recorded for the Library of Congress. "Ballad for Americans" will be heard again and again, because no composition interprets so vividly, so truly the character, philosophy and spirit of the American people, the pattern for universal happiness and freedom. This number is being presented by the chorus through special permission of the copyright owners.

Education, according to worthy authorities, is a prepar· ation for life. Absorption @f classroom instruction is one means of attaining that goal. But quote Lowell, "The better part of education is that which one gives himself."

The majority of committees on campus function most actively during the week end. Only by participating in such activities can one best pick up an occasional bit of learning not gleaned from text 8ooks.

----ca---"The first time was a hit and miss affair and the lights were plenty low. Confidentially, I was glad when the piece was over, but anxious to try it again." Rex laughed and continued, "The girl seemed a bit doubtful as to my ability f" Really Rex came into the limelight as a dancer. at the age of seven. when he won a Charleston contest. After much persuasion he admitted t]1at he once won a "Big Apple" contest, also. , That Rex started dancing was partly due to his coach. "Our football team was using the Notre Dame system and our coach encouraged us to dance for the rhythm which would help our shifting. Then, too, my friends danced and I went along just to listen to the different bands." As a favorite dance spot, Rex lists Turnpike and Lakeside Parl1 in Denver as second. Dick Jergens and Kay Kyser tie for favorite dancing band with Will Osborne rating first as a listening band. "I'll take the trombone as my favorite instrument, which, by the way, is featured by Will Osborne." Rex named more than twenty big time bands which he had danced to, including Cab Calloway, Kay Kyser, Blue Baron, Glen Grey, Dick Jergens, Guy Lombardo and Sammy Kay. The whirl serves at the basis for Rex's dancing, but he does all of the new steps including· some of his own originals. One original. the "Riverside Stomp," is a combination of the Suzy Que, Lindy Hop, whirl and slide. Rex does jitterbug, but he thinks there's a place for it. He also likes to waltz-with a girl who can waltz. ,;Few girls are good

waltzers," according to Rex. "An ideal partner is one about three inches shorter than myself or just short enough that I can see over her. She must be smooth, able to whirl indefinitely, follow any step, know when to break, close-in and should know the courtesies· of dancing such as when to stop, start, talk and speak to others." Rex thinks that any girl who likes to dance, can dance. Concerning moods Rex states, "The mood doesn't matter, your feet will move anyway." On the Peru campus,. Rex acts as a sponsor of Learn-to-dance club. He has also given lessons to boy friends, playing the role of a girl. "Ifs easier to follow a strong leader than to lead, but every beginner shoUld be able to follow and lead," comments Rex. "Straight rhythm tunes are best for dancing. I really haven't a spec!al tune, my taste runs along with ethers. My favorite right now is "Goodby Now" but I like all of Ronnie Kemper's songs." M a ~'p-notch dancer Rex lists Caesar F~cr:iero and thinks George Murphy an all right dancer. Being a first rate football play·er, Rex thinks that dancing and football do mix and that the rhythm from dancing helps in any sport. Re:: r;ouldn't commit himself on d8ncers in Peru but he thinks ti; ere aren't enough all-college dances. He has a better time at iMc;·mal dances but thinks formais are great things, for fellows rave a chance to dress-up and see correct dancing. "And," Rex finished, "I always dance in old sh~s ! "

The Bronte children grew up in a parsonage at Haworth on the noors of England. Their father was a minister of a small church. The mother died when Charlotte was five years o1d. Charlotte, Emily and Anne are the best known of this family of six children. Charlotte wrote the one-time best seller, "Jane Eyre." Emily wrote "Wuthering Heights" and Anne wrote "Agnes Grey." The Bronte sisters wrote under the assumed names of Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell.

Peruvian Snapper, Clements, Talks Shop Click! There's t.hat man again. It's Peruvian camera-man Dick Clements shooting from under chairs, hanging from trees, and from behind buildings, trying to get those funny ang'les which are his specialty. Dick is the enthusiastic user of the newly purchased 4x5 speedraphic camera which retails at $180, and which he says is "just about as good a camera as you can buy." All this craze for snapping photos came about eight years ago when Dick's uncle gave him a developing outfit for Christmas, and he started on his way with a b()X camera. In 1936, Dick shook the pennies out of his piggy bank to find that he had enough to invest in a $20 job. By this time he was able to print and develop all the shots which made him the Training School's "Public Pest No. I.'· Last year, he bought an enlarger About the Peruvian work, Dick explained, "Mr. Peterson was kind enough to let us use his camera during ·the fall. We had such success in getting the. type of pictures we wanted that we were able to make the purchase of the camera," (which he expects to be a real asset on the campus since pictures can be taken at the best possible moment and not so much to fit the photographer's schedule.) The record of the Peruviian staff is 175 pictures in two weeks, and for an amateur crew, they are proud of the fact that 75 per cent of all their pictures will be used in the Peruvian at a cost of only ;5c per picture for c1eveloping and

This is Evelyn's first year there. ~iARY LIZ WERNER, class of '40. who is teaching English at Arling· ton, recently conducted a novel ex· periment in her class room to de· termine whether people really see what they think they do. Six members of her speech class rushed in and busied themselves at a var· iety of activities and as suddenly rushed out again. Then the stu· dents were asked to write what they had seen. The results were both amusing and amazing. A long article appeared in the Omaha World Herald about this test.

Critic Expresses Views on Spring Band Concert ----·---By Prof. Robert 'f. Benford, Score another triumph for the "Concert" band. Before an enthusiastic audience they gave a fin,e program, on Friday evening, March 14. The opening number was the "March of the Pioneers," by Colby. This was entered into with fine ~pirit by all the players. They gave a good rendition, · with smooth, clear tonalities. The second number was announced by Wm. Fankhauser, who gave us the setting for the "Pray. er and Dream Pantomime" frortr the opera "Hansel and Gretel" by Humperdinck. The quiet peaceful harmonies gave the feeling of the peace and contentment the children feel when they go into the ~oods, and fall asleep. The flowing flute melodies ushered in the heavenly beings who came to protect them. The return of the p:·ayer theme was climactic but not blaring. The en: semble ably showed their ability in·bringing out these effects. "The Swiss Boy" a ciai'inet duet by deVille was well played by Miss Yates and Miss Schuldt. It is to be remembered how well Miss Yates did her Concerto at the first concert. Miss· Schuldt carried her part well on this duet. The band gave her a good supporting background. Their encore, "Pepperino" by Endreson, was a aelightful number and well played. Again Mr. Fankhauser told us what to expect when we read the "Headlines." The continued change rrom pleasing to wierd harmonies and shifting of chordal progressions from one section to the other, gave us the different slants on the news. At one time I thought an oriental dancer had made the headlines, but she didn't stay long enough to get acquainted. Practically every section of the band had lts chance to "give their bit of news." Do you read the headlines? Now you can hear them, and I'm sure nothing will be lost if you are a good listener. The always loved Oratorio me!ody, "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,'' from Samson and Delilah by Saint-Saens was well played by · Fletcher Cline, the trombone solo1st. The band .came through again with a fine ·background for his solo. Mr. Fankhauser told us of the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by ·Ben-

net.

The music. started with peaceful chords giving us a quiet afternoon. ~ater we hear of the invitations to merry · making, with rhythmic melodies, and wierd harmonies telling us ghost stories. The rhythm pattern told us of the horse that was taking Ichabod Crane t10me and of his being chased by the headless horseman. And did you hear the thud when he fell off his horse? After it was all over, peace and quiet returned. The trum"1et trio consisting of James Crawford, James Sandin ar.d Tony DeMaro gave us some fine blendings on the "Southland" by Denza-Weckesser. And the Funiculi-Funicula was given with such a fine snap that the audience brought them back to repeat a pa.rt of it. And last but not least we had "Bolero" by Ravel. This wild dance is all that it is described to be. The continued drum rhythm gave a monotonous effect to the background of the theme which was tossed about from section to section. The dance starts quietly but soon works up to a fine climax as expressed by the wierd harmonies and increasing tonal effects. The frenzied chords just before the last let the people know just to what point the dance has been worked up to. The audience

demanded a repetition of the last part of the work before they would let the Director leave the stage. On the whole, this program seemed to be finer finished than the previous one. Tones were smoothed and blended and there was plenty of climax without the blasting so many bands seem to get. Mr. Jindra is to be complimented on his fine performance. We need more of them. f

Gamma Chi Enjoys BingQ Rate • Bingo was featured at the Gamma Chi party, on Wednesday, March 12. First prize for the highest score went to Virginia King. Second prizes were given to those girls who bingoed at least once during the evening. The proposal by Grace Muenchau, president, that the next meeting be ari outdoor picnic was approved by members. Rerreshments of green and white candies tied in shamrock-trimmed napkins added a St. Patrick's day touch. f

When asked how Peru men comin pared with those of other colleges, Ensign T. H. Jenkins replied, "The "MR. AND MRJS.

In one western college we examined 26 men before we found one that might have a chance in the final physical exam. We examined 15 men here and five of them passed the prelimina;y (Auburn, Nebraska) exam. This gives your Cornhuskers , a 33 per cent average, which, as SUN.. MON ..

Jenkins attended the "BACK STREET" University of Missouri and has flown for American Airline.~. When Featurettes-Cartoo1i and News Reel asked about the number of hours navy pilots fly each year, he answered, "The pilots usually fly about 300 hours a year, however, we do not all get that much time. For instance, I have a friend who fifes with a Patrol Bomber Squadron, and he piled up 1700 hours last year, while I do very well to get in 3 hours of time a month, because of my duties with the board."

Steck Comments On Technique

Catlett, Wym~; Ann Wiebe, Dawson; Virgittia Trively, Cook; George Anderson, Brock; Ralph Chatelain, Nemaha and Talmage; and Louis Knopp, Malvern, Iowa, took part in demonstrations designed to throw light on music teachers' problems. As soloists and small group.s performed on Friday afternoon, Mr. Steck and the instructors wrote comments and · suggestions whifu were discussed in a later sessio!'l. Tha1 evening, singers gathered in the Music Hall to question l\fr. Steck about voice mechanism, tone production, breathing kid many other problems.

"What causes the 'bumps' in my trill?" "How can I make my words understood?" "Why do we stiffen and fose vitality when we sing?'' "Why is it so much easiei- to· act than· to sing?" They were all given: serious consideration. Mass singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" started things Saturday morning. . Performances by mixed choruses, girls glees and mens glees were in the college auditorium from 10: 00 to 12:0.0 and 2:00-4:15. After each gTOup sang- two numbers, Mr. Steck used them to demonstrate certain effects in choral singing. Balance, intonation, pronunciation, neatness of moving parts and . rhythm were worked out in turn as teachers and students observed various ways of achieving results. Mr. Catlett put his Wymore groups through routine tuning and ear-training exercises and also tried the mixed quartet arrangement of the Perusingers for demonstrative· purposes. It was noted that Mr. Anderson's mixed chorus was arranged in that way, which was discussed at the teachers round table in the November choral clinic here. Dancing· and ping-pong in both dorms entertained visitors between morning and afternoon sessions, and ideal spring weather invited cainpus tours. Questioned about reactions, the teachers responded: "It's an inspiration to go home with new ideas and suggestions." "Not participating- for competition, young·sters are less keyed up, and seem to learn more." "Just like any new wrinkle, those taking part will learn more as they become educated to it."

·'yes, why'?" From the Michigan Daily: "If we are a scholastic failure this semester, we believe we can attribute it (with· ·Out rationalization) to the possibly irrational idea that study ·at this time is largely inconsequential. It seems extremely stupid to spend four years of your life in an attempt to learn how to live when you see all around you forces, vicious forces, working for your death, either intellectual, or phy. sical." These are the kind of statements which have been call· ed defeatist, and de·structive .of morale in a nation which must pour every ounce of energy into a defense effort. They are more surely the sentiments of a generation which feels doomed before it begins to live, a generation which asks for peace and security and finds only holocaust and bloodshed. Some would call them indications of weakening moral fibre in American youth. They could more justifiably be looked upon as a long. ing for social stability and economic balance which it may be America's destiny to build. History may show that these members of the rising generation, with their sluggish response to the war drums and the battle cries, were not justified in their short range view of the necessity of war. Only time will prove the validity of their ·pessimistic predictions. But in their desires for a secure existence, their vivid horror of war will eventually he found the impetus for the establishment of pernianent and equitable peace. -Reprinted from The Daily Californian.

I ma\{e my bed once a week and if I am careful it could, go two weeks only my mother insists that I send my sheets home every week.

Herman Ebers, near Milford Seward county, gave permission t~ make pictures on his farm.

Cook followed close with 24 points. Class C sweepstakes were won by Burchard's 20 points crowding out Bratton Union, 18, and Nemaha and Nehawka, both with 14 points. Enrollment of the 7 schools entered determined the class rankings. The rating scale consisted of fair, good, excellent;, and superior.

Bradiord and Robert D.

Of the· contest, Dr. Bradford says, "The MINK tournament ·was a successful one. On the whole, there was a higher type of performance from the students than last year. Better reading material was used. Such. meets are in my judgment valuable to the college. They make many high school students aware of the work in speech education done at Peru and they tend generally to promote a desirable type of relationship be· tween our school and the high schools of this area." At noon Saturday, a luncheon was held at the cafeteria. Dr. Bradford called upon students to read impromptu, parts in contempor11ry one-act plays. The program was heard over the Public address system.

HIGHER EDUCATIONSituated somewhere west of the Missouri Ri~er on the to!> of a sunburned hill rests a brow-beaten institution for which about five hundred of the younger set forsake their cozy homes each y~r. · About seventy-five years ago, the idea was brought into being by such men as Prof. J. M. McKenzie, Major W~. Daly, Rev. Hiram ·Burch who combined their efforts and finances for what they believed to be a necessary luxury.

"I know· I'll like it. I've never been off the ground higher than the old man's barn and that just scares me to death. ' Cliffs and things like that scare me but I always want to go back. "It happened one Sunday af. ternoon when Severson came in with a plan which he claimed would change my whole life. The idea sounded all right so I went to Kansas City and took my exam. I was really surprised to hear that I passed. It left me a 'deadpan' for a few minutes." Bill hails from Bigelow, Mo., and is the oldest of tnree child· ren. He thinks that people in Nebraska are more friendly but says that Nebraska people think the same of Missourians.

first place among Bill's interests. At 22, Bill has been in every state west of the Mississippi with the exception of Minnesota and the two Dakotas and he lists Illinois, Tennessee ~nd Mississippi to make up for these three. "Nevada depresses me more than any other state-there's never anything but rocks and sage brush." Bill's hobby is writing. "I have hopes of sometime having something published,'' he says. "Possibly an adventure or travel story, or some short, short stories with surprise endings." For likes Bill lists swing bands, Kipling as an author, and Kilmer as a poet. Of his liking for music he says, "I'm not much of a warbler myself but I like to hear others." As a member of the college orchestra, his only comment as to why he plays the guitar is, "That's another story which happened in Texas when dad thought I was in Kansas." "The equivalent of $275 sounds better than teaching,"- said Bill. ''I'll send you a card from China."

Student Speaks .. By Tod Hubbell .

LLOYD DUNLAP

In the first place, it takes a certain amount. of conceit to write an article dealing with the European war and its resulting political, mental, and emotional conflicts. The fact that such an article is written tends to impart the impression that the writer is setting himself up an authority with something to say. Let's understand this from the start. I don't know, nor do I claim to ·know, very much about what's happening in the world today. The cars are going around me at an alarming rate of speed. I do know, however, that some people are in need of -awakening to a few facts concerning America and herprobable entry into the war. I believe that most people will agree that Great Britain wants, and needs, all the help the United States can give her. lt can further be said that such aid has been Britain's aim since l!le war bro)i'.e out. All her propa,~andistic efforts have been directed in this one direction-the securing of material aid from the United Stat.es. Therefore, it stands to reason that, since no one is goil).g to bet on a losing horse, all her coillll".uniques and dispatches .sent, tOIO this c6untr.y tend• to Ii).inimize German victories and to exaggerate British gains,. On the Qther hand, the news ·sent olit from German army officialll, I speak of the. corumuniques issued during the caqipaigns in Norway, France, and the Low Countries, has been, for tJ:ie most part, amazingly correct. The first fact then, would seem to be that the United States is being ·hoodwinked by .. Britain into thinking that thet British Empire has a chance of defeating Germany. Most Americans agree par1-11;U.DU);lj; •• tiie'·'i:iereM~i\'1 means, they disagree. Some feel that America can best be defended by fighting in Europe. Others believe that American defense starts in America. Let us examine the first means of defense, war in Europe. This would involve: .1. .Germany, it is estimated has 11,000,000 un~er arms, fully equipped. The successful prosecution of a war on foreign soil would mean that at least 5,000,000 men must be sent to Europe. To supply and support these 5,000,000 men would inean that an unbelievable amount of food, clothing·, arms, tanks,_ guns, planes, and gasoline would also have to be sent, to Europe. The transportation prollJem could perhaps be solved. But where would these troops land? On a continent dominted in its entirety by the enemy? Could Am~rican troops force a landing in a hostile port and then hold it?. I doubt it. American troops could lap.d only in England. Once there the problem AVould remain the same. A landing would still have to be forced and held. The German army will never be crushed while the opposition remains in Europe. For the sake of comparison, let us reverse the sit.uation and assume that Hitler is sending an expeditionary force into America. He faces the same task that United States forces faced in getting into Europe. He must send an even larger force, with its tremendous amounts of supplies. His task would be even more difficult because he would be facing a united civilian population, not a conglomeration of French, Dutch, and Belgian peoples. The answer to th0 questions should be clear. The United States can best defend America, which is, or should be, our objective,' by staying home and makThe stay-at-home proposition gains added weight when one reflects the disastrous consequences of an unsuccessful war in Europe, fought by American troops.

Ghost to Walk T. S. musicians Advisory Council Revea)J Plans 1 On April 25 Win. Honors For "Stay in Peru We/ ·End" •

Did you ever see a ghost taste plum pudding topped with vanishing. cream or make a butter-slide? Well, these are rare and special privileges given only to the otis family in "The Saturday Evening Ghost." The Hiram Otis family rents an ancient castle in England from Lord Canterville, the owner. The Otis family, iike all good Americans, doesn't believe in ghosts and are skeptical of the .. legend that the castle is hauntecf by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, sixteenth century. Such skepticism is short lived for cm Saturday night, Virginia otis, lovely twenty-year-old . daughter, meets said ghost and a delightful romance follows. Naturally there is always someone who tosses a monkey-wrench intd the mechanism, even in the spirit world. The "somebody" in this case is the impish Otis twins, Sonny-boy and Pet. They aren't afraid of ghosts-no, sir-but just show them a gangster! Anyway, the ghost is finally allowed to join _hi~ ancestors and get his much needed sleep and as for Virginia, well she finds romance after all.

• "No, I don't want to be a professional actor. They make too much money," ten year old Louis Steck emphatically declared. "I'm going to be a scientist or a doc-

tor." Sitting on the edge of the chair, a spelling book clutched in one hand, Louis disclosed the secrets of his dramatic experiences. "In kindergarten I was a sa,ndman in a play, and had to sprinkle sand in a girl's eyes." Louis performed this very well. Besides numerous other school plays, he was in a college play when he was in the third grade. In the "Saturday Evening Ghost" he will play "Sonny Boy." '"'I'll say I was thrilled about being in this play, surprised too. They just picked me I guess." Louis thinks Lord Archibald is a, swell guy although he is a big sissy in the play. "Of course the play is going to be good,'' modestly de9lared Lottis. Sports are included among his favorite interests. "Roller skating is the best." Louis also has a dog collection which contains dogs of all sizes, colors and kinds.

• How am I going to get acquainted with the people I would like for friends? Should I join a club, learn to dance, take up bridge, or learn . to play tennis? No, these aren't necessary, but take the initiative in making !'C· quaintances.' You cw't wait for people to come to you; you must go to them. To quote Elmer G. Leterman, world's foremost salesman of life insurance, there are three ways of getting acquainted with strangers: Arouse their curiosity; approali. tht!m in terms of their own interests; build up their seif-esteem. Arouse a persons' curiosity by doing or saying something unusual. For example, don't say, "I got a low grade in psychology," but say, "I got a low grade in psychology and I wish it had been lower!" He may think you're insane, but you will have aroused his curiosity. A still better way, though, is to approach a person through some absorbing interest of his own. If he is a "Panders" talk about bugs until you can feel them racing over yolir scalp. If you're talking to an "Evans" develop an interest in music. You may not know a music note from a blotch of ink but a knowledge of the subject isn't necessary. You need only to 1JB.. ten and occasionally ask an iri:. telligen t (?) question. No one wants flattery, but if you are sincere you can always find something' pleasant to say. about people. You may compliment a person by asking him for advice on an impOrtant question-Clements on photography or Richardson on plays. You'll be surprised how he will react to your implied confidence in him. When you give a. person faith in himself' he's sure to like you.

"If a college student's order number is such that he will

With this, the first decision on the college student since the passing of the Burke-Wadsworth bill, it goes without saying that joy reigns now that some interest i,1 (:::: <~ollege student is being shown by the powers that be. Even so, it must be admitted that this is far fro:A: o:Je . quate information. It is still no inkling as to what the college man pl~nning to continue in the fall may or can do. With last week's announcement from the President that anothe'f R-day · is being planned for the summer for the benefit of those men who have reached 21 since last October, the situation becomes even more indefinite for students all over tb country. Via what means is the college man to know now, th;, spring, not ne·xt fall, his relation to selective service trainir:

movements of contrasting moods were well interpreted and gave the listener the idea that the instniment was well under her control. The second group was made up of shorter numbers of the classic period. The Gavotte, by Bach, written in the contrapuntal style showed a mastery of the left hand as well as the right, as each hand was required to bring out its own melody. The "Bird as Prophet" by Schumann · was carried through with the liquid tones one would expect from the name of the number. "Liebestraume No. 2" by Liszt was not the one so many people are familiar with but the interpretation placed on it caused the audience to like it almost as well. The melody sung out clearly above the maze of broken chord accompaniment and the climaxes carried one right along with them. Tbe third group was made up of compositions of more modern nature. "En Bateau"or In a Boat, by Zeckwer had plenty opportunity for flowing melody and accompaniment. The "Evening Star" arranged by MacFaydn for left hand alone, was done in a very interesting man· ner .and shows what can be done with only one hand when it is producing music. "Minstrels" by Debussy and "Polonaise Americaine·' by Carpenter were still more modern and had plenty of rhyth • mic feeling :i.s well as strange chordal progressions which gave the feeling of something happening. I cannot say too much about the last number as I played the second piano. It was the "Blue Danube Waltz" by Strauss-Chasins. The audience was so enthusiastic about this number that a part of i!. was repeated for encore. Ori the whole, Miss Evans gave 'l fine recital and is to be congrntulate~ on her ability to put over such a fine performance. 1

Bridges of Tech Piles Up 16 1-2 Points; Leads Mates to Win

• The annual MINK Track and Field classic held here in Peru last Saturday, developed into a dual between Omaha Tech and ·. Omaha Central high schools.· Entered were 28 high school squads, all of Nebraska. At the end of ·a long afternoon four new recordS were set, and one was tied.

track meets of the 1941 season will be staged on the athletic field Friday as teams representing Omaha University, Doane, Midland, York, Tarkio and Wesleyan invade the Bobcats' lair in search of top hon· ors. With a total of seven closely matched squads contesting for the blue ribbons, the meet should provide for some of the best action in years. Tarkio and Peru appear to be very evenly matched on the strength of their two point wins that they have swapped earlier in the year. York, Doane and Midland of the NCAC conference are improved aggregations while Wesleyan is an unknown quantity. Om· aha University rates the favored spot, but with her forces combating the field, her strength on the cinders will be pushed to gamer the necessary points. The Bobcats, with enough bal· ance and all-around ability on the field, could easily extend them· selves, and upset the dope for an important victory.
