'lrue Story .•• BAJC:[( In 19421 the following story was told to this editor who was at that time a very green young freshman: "Once upon a time there were two col1ege students. As freshmen, they were' required to undergo certain initiatory processes. "One fre'snman, a meek retiriµg sort of person, deci:ded to make as little trouble as he· could. He willingly carried out all the commands of the upperclassmen, and rushed to obey their slightest fancy. As a result, he devoted his entire day to dusting the furniture of the upperclassmen, to polishing their shoes, and to running var. ioµs errands: As jl, reward for his services he was frequently and severely chastised via" the padd~e method. ''The ·other freshman was a bold, agressive character. He even dared' to be a little contemptuous and occasionally questioned the w~sd!>m of the i;niti~tory processes. As a result, he de:voted his entire day to dw>ting' the furniture of the upperclassmen, to polishill,g ·their shoes, and to running . vario:us er:rands. As a reward for his sei'vi.<ies •,he 'was frequently and severely 'chastised 'via the paddle method." THE MORAL: You can't win.

Gail Miller's home run in the fourth inning with two ·men on base gave the Upperclassmen a lead which they held for the remainder of the game. Tyke took Freshman honors by hitting a homer in the second inning. Dr. B. K. Baker put his mastery of psychology to the supreme test by umpiring the game. Later, disc-jockeys Marvin Helscher and Vic Evans kept the platters spinning in the Music Hall from eight to ten o'clock for those in the mood f.or dancing. The Council purposely · scheduled a variety of activities, hoping that there would be something to interest every student.

Musicians Appear The usual procedul'i! of class was waived when Mr. J. Quinn Lotspiech presented several college musicians to the Training School chorus last Friday afternoon. John Hippe, the Irish tenor, sang two vocal solos. Charles Elwell followed with a mellow trombone number. Accompanists were Sarah Jane Lyons 2nd the versatile Peggy Bayard, who also sang two solos.

Production Will Be Of Gay Nineti.es Vintage I

Rehearsals Started September 15 "THE CURSE OF AN ACHING HEART, OR TRAPPED IN THE SPIDERS WEB" will be the melodramatic offering of the Dramatic Club for the 1947 Homecoming play. This selection is quite a de-· parture from the kind of production usually given on this occasion. It 'promises to be an unusual, yet highly enoyable show. Of Gay Nineties vintage, this melodrama includes such stock characters as, the beautiful hero•. ine, unbeatable hero, and the dastardly villain. Two unusual characters are a femal_e. sheriff, and an unexpected male arrival, both of whom add much to the action. The play was written by Herbert E. SwB.ine, and i.s of the type that is all the rage in the larger cities during the current theatrical season. Cast Chosen Try outs were held Sept. 9, for the various parts. The following cast of characters has been chosen. Melody Lane .. -....,.. Jean Meister Lucius Goodenough ...... Willard · ' Redfern Windimere Hightower ...... Alvin Swarb; Hiram Abernathy ..

Bobcats Get Send-Off The Bob Cats go to Washburn tomorrow, but the kickoff really began this morning at convoca- · tion when a big pep meeting and send off were given the team. Coach Wheeler was in charge o:f! the program. The newly elected cheer leaders took an active part and the music department also lent a helping hand. The music department, according to Mr. Jindra, is to take part in the convocation periods next week also. The programs·"will include number~by,.;iMividual students and the chorus will sing. The first home football game, Octo-· ber 3, will bring out the band for : a big pep rally to spur the team on to victory. Convocation programs will be announced from time to time in the paper. Watch for them.

. Lost Among The Oaks

By Jean Meister Students who came ba,ck to the campus after vacation were .pleasantly surprised to see that the Administration Building floors had had their faces lifted. The grime of many years was scraped off and their natural beauty was enhanced by a make-up of varnish and wax. A tenor and a bass section have been added to the feminine voices of the Women's dorm. Approximately thirty Freshman boys invaded Mt. Vernon Hall' and now call it home. All girls in favor of moving the ice water fountain to the Eliza Morgan side of the fire door please raise their right hands. Gail and Sally Miller were presented with the ready-made family of boys by Dr. Nicholas. Who could want a nicer Papa and Mama?

Saul in Disguise

Freshmen may have been amazed to see a be~rded backwoodsman sauntering about the campus, but veteran Peruvians recognized Bill Saul' through his disguise. Not wishing to frighten the faculty,. Bill shaved, only to be a stranger to Frankie when she got home from school. President Arthur Clements of the Student Council can be seen neary every day dashing in to talk over Administration practices with President Nicholas. No wonder our school is running so smoothly this year. A new dormitOry regulation has the upper-lass girls in at 10 P.M.

In the chow line he was overheard to say that he wished all seniors were girls, or that all girls were seniors. Now which is it, Manuel? After all, freshman initiation isn't that bad! Anyone suspecting that he is carrying around some strange bacteria should take them to the Bacteriology Lab.

By Bob Thurman THE DATE PROBLEM

Wayne "Punchy" Linder Where theres an athletic everit going on, there's Wayne Linder. "Punchy," as he is known on the <;ampus, has always been interested in athletics both as a participant and a spectator. This can be shown by the fa~t that he was on the all-state six-man football team when he was in ·high school, and again received that distinction when he was ma.de Allstate Guard in 1946. "Punchy" thinks no one, can really enjoy football unless, he knows something about it and would definitely like to see all the girls get rule books before . the '47 season starts. He claims he has the position of "Water Boy"; however, others know that he has received the honor of being elected Season Captain of the Football Team. During his spare time "Punchy" likes to go fishing. He doesn't claim any exceptional ability, though, for on one trip all he succeeded in catching was a garfish. He is also interested in playing tennis, provided his feminine opponent is garbed in proper tennis attire. The hills of Peru hold no terror for "Punchy." Since last spring he and "Liza" have gone up and down any road that is passable. Though he has a minor in geography, he doesn't know the geography of Nemaha County.very well. One day he went on a sightseeing tour east of Peru, and after getting a glimpse of the Missouri, decided he wanted a closer view. After driving for miles, he reached his obpective-at Brownville. "Punchy's" geniality and cooperative nature have made him a Big Man on the Campus.

There was a time at Peru when the Dean of Women was a Southerner. Dating a girl was a problem. The best formula was to dress in grey, fill your pockets with corn pone and chittlin's, and go breezing up to Eliza Morgan whistling "Dixie." Entering the lobby, you would bow low and state reverently, "Jeff Davis sent me." None of these tricks would work, of course, if your name happened to be Sherman. -But times have changed. Just suppose that you are a nice young man calling on a nice ,young lady who lives in Eliza ·Morgan. You enter the door and look around. It's like a morgue, isn't it? Anyway, look around. You'll probably see a couple of girls reading. They aren't really reading, they're sitting around waiting for rejects! Walk over to the phone booth and press the button which corresponds with your girl's room number. If you don't know her number, punch them al]; Having punched all the buttons, remain in the booth to avoid 1being trampled in the stampede. If your girl friend appears, you are ready to go. If she doesn't appear pick out another likely looking co-ed.

Hal Brown Guides Four Frosh Yell Experts In Noise Cheerleaders have been chosen for the coming school year. Five veteran yell leaders will lead the cheering sections in the forthcoming school terms. Hal Brown known from the past year to be a capable hand at getting noise was elected chairman of the five. Jackie Beber• is a former pep leader from North Platte high school. Paul Charpeneu, from Falls City, led in cheers for Sacred Heart in that city. ·Fern Egger, comes from Lincoln Central high school, with experience in "Spirit" building. Coleen Williams, from Falls City, led the Falls City high school rooters to louder noises. Peru State Teachers College has the cheer leaders for a definite lift in schOol spirit.

Prepsters HoldjHop First of the high school social activities of the year was an All School Dance planned by the Senior Class and given in the school assembly room last Saturday night. "School Days" was mad( the theme for the evening by the seniors, for whom Ernest Brod, new high school principal, is sponsor.

Before the girl leaves she must sign out. If you see that Barbara Schmaltz.bottom signed out at seven o'clock to visit her home in Auburn until tomorrow morning because, it says, her Uncle Dudley just died, you can assume that she has a heavy date. That's the way the sign out sheet is worked. ·You say, "It's sure warm isn't it?" She replies, "It certainly is. I almost died in Lit today, and when the prof asked me a ques-

tion I just told him it too to think, and he said he thou so too, and my girl friend the same thing, and the first t we did after we got out of c was to drink a coke and then had some ice cream, and I spill it all over my new dress and just know that mother will hav a fit and I just hate one of classes and I just love the wa Prof Blank laughs and I h three other fellows ask me a date tonight, but I turned the. down just to go with you, an what do you say we go to th Bobinn for a coke or two?" Well, you go to the Bobinn fo a while and while her drink tw cases of cokes. (She pays for on bottle herself just to prove to yo that she isn't a gold digger.) Then you dance a couple of numbers. Just when you think everything is all right she gets on a giggling binge. Finally she giggles so hard that she breaks an underskirt '-trap and she adoujrns to fix it. He who hesitates is lost-so you grab hold of a girl and walk her around the campus. Where should you go to be alone? Behind the library is an unused door built into a recess. It's roomy and has the advantages of darkness and solitude. ·. The only disadvantage is that the yellow caution light on the corner makes even the prettiest girl louk like Dracula's daughter. The amphitheater is always dark or you could sit in the stands ~f th~ football stadium. This isn't advisable though. It isn't the most romantic thing in the .world for a young couple on their first date to hear the squalls of the babies in Vetville. · After saying good night she rushes inside to tell the girls all about you. You run back to Delzell and tell the boys all about her.

Elaborate Counseling Program At Peru Planned By Dr. Maxwell By Jim Steele Developed thiS year for the first time, the counseling program -Of Peru State Teachers College commenced its services on Monday, Sept. 1, 194 7. Fulfilling a two-fold function, the service acquaints freshmen with basic facts :and advice on college life, and :furnishes help and guidance to till students on problems they may encounter. Coun:seling is divided into two phases: (1) ,general counseling, in Which all classes of problems ar( considered by the same group of counselors;' and (2) special counseling, in which certain types of problems are given more thorough treatment by specialists who deal .only with problems falling within :a narrow range. Maxwell Heads Group At the head of the organization is the guidance coordinator, a post :filled by Dr. P. A. M,axwell. The basic structure of the counseling service follows closely the curri-' culum program of the College. Thus, a small group of ten to fifteen students is assigned an · advisor, a faculty member who teaches in the department which corresponds to the occupational objective of the group. This counselor makes it a point to become well acquainted with his .group of counselees, meets them regularly, and always is ready to counsel the individual students When they are in need of advice. C-0urse in Orientation Given In order to group the counselees as to age, sex, scholarship, interest and student preference, the :fir~t two days of Freshman Week were given over to English and Psychological examinations and ·the filling-out of preference inventories ·and personal data blanks by each student. In addi. tion all ·entering freshmen are l'eq~ired to register for a ,.5emester course in Orientation which helps them to adjust to college life. The program of ,activities for the freshman groups includes, 'during freshman week, one or more group conferences, one ha!fhour individual conference with each counselee and larger group conferences conducted by deans and freshman adviser. For 'the

first semester, orientation classes meet unce a week, small group conferences once a month, and individual conferences as needed. Also, each group of counselees meets socially with its counselor once or twice a semester. Counselors of these groups areimembers of the faculty appointed by the president upon thei recommendation of the guidance coordinator. 'i'he organization of upper-class groups follows roughly that of the freshnien. In this, major atl\'isors serve as colUlselors, one group conference a rrlonth is held . with individual conferences as needed and occasiofal socia1 meet· ings are held. Special Counselors Available In addition to the department counselors, a number of special counselors are available through · the service. The registrar offers advice on matters pertaining to credits, admission requirements, transfers, the schedule, degrees, and certificate requirements; the dean of men and dean of women counsel students in co,nnection with housing, ' attendance, finances and social and moral problei'ns; the nurse. and college doctor advise on health matters. a vocational counselor is available to students, uncertain about their occupational objectives; the director of placement assists graduates who wish to locate teaching positions. Finally, class and activity sponsors and all instructors in all departments continually offer group and individual guidance to their students as needs arise in connection with the campus activities and class work. When a student needs special guidance, he will be referred to the guidance coordinator who in turn will refer the case to a clinic made up of special counselors.

Blue Devils Sponsor Hay Ride anrl Rally A hay ride is still a hay ride even if there isn't any hay and old Dobbin has wheels! At least that is what. Peruvians concluded Thursday evening last week, when the Blue Devils swung back into action with a hay ride rally and dance. At 6:30 students .piled aboard four hayracks and were wheeled merrily on their way by Paul Maxwell's jeep, and tractors driven by Harold Knople, Bob Majors and Ward Adams. After a breezy 15-minute ride. collegians found themselves at the 'remains of the old hangar at the airport. In a few"minutes Art Clements had a public address system attached to the battery of Ward Adams' truck and it was soon discovered that the remaining concrete floor plus a little wax provided an excellent dance floor.

Tigers Are Predicted To Down Peru; Muntz ls Sidelined With Knee Injury Band Wi 11 Parade At all Home Games Lead by its capable drum majorette, Barbara Berger, the marching band performed last homecoming for the first time since the close of the war. 'The band will parade at all home games this year and plans to travel to some games away. But-"Our big splurge will be at homecoming," stated Barbara when discussing fall plans for the band. The organization can boast an excellent performer in its drum majorette, for she has been an outstanding baton twirler, since grade school and was drum majorette of Nebraska City's championship marching band her senior year in. high school. Instructs Twirlers Barbara was rated superior in baton twirling at Aksarben in 1942. Young Nebraska City twirlers still depend upon her for instruction, Spectaiors will see an attractive addition to the college band this season. Three freshman girls have been selected to be oaton twirlers. Peggy Bayer from Lincoln, Cleo Albers from Auburn, and Marilyn Granger from Beatrice. Peggy began twirling batons when she was in the eighth grade, and was drum major for the Scotts Bluff band for three years while she was attending high there. Uses Lighted BatOn A cousin taught Cleo baton twirling. She especially likes to use a lighted baton. Marilyn was a member of the Baton Drill Corps at the Beatrice high school. The first performance of the marching band will be at the Midland game.

No-but at times the· people who sit by them at a football game probably wish they were "in another world." On the morning of Nov. 1, 1946, sleepy "convo" goers were rudely awakened by a group of nbisy, white shirted pepsters who had taken it upon themselves to give the tired, depleted "Peru pep" an invigorating shot in the arm. This Pep Club, composed of students whose primary quali fication was a healthy pair of lungs, was organized to insure that proper support be given to all the athletic events. With this aim in view these boys sponsored several rallies, including an impressive torch-light rally, a hayride, and a dance. In December the club renewed an old tradition by holding the largest football banquet ever presented in honor of the football team. If campus scuttle-butt is any indication of future activities, the "azure imps," under the direction of chief plotters President Bill Kinman, Vice-President Clark Haney, Secretary Ralf Graham, and Treasurer Cal Walden; are "cooking up" more mischief for this season. No doubt there will be a few people who will insist that the Devils should be "seen a~d not heard." For those people there is only one solution to their problem-yell so loud at . the games that the Blue Deveils won't be heard.

Rain Spoils PSTC Opener; Capt. Linder, Muntz Sidelined In a game played in the mud, Washburn downed Peru twelve: to six last 'Saturday night. The Wheelermen served notice. on the NCC that they'll be con.., ference contenders by holding powerful Washburn eleven to two. touchdowns while scoring one themselves in a game played in the rain at Topeka Saturday night. Peru started off strongly by keeping Washburn deep in itS: own territory in the first halt through the consistent and fine. punting of Cal Walden. Peru was unable to make headway as the. mud and rain slowed the Bobcat double wing down to a few simple line plunges and one or two end sweeps. Washburn Back Stars Bucky Anderson, Washburn back, was the deciding factor as he swept the ends and constantly returned Walden's punts. Washburn's first touchdown came a.. bout as the result of Anderson's fine punt return. Taking the balL on the Peru 42, Anderson lugged, it back to the Peru eight before, he was tackled. A series of line plunges by Harmon put it over. Peru was unable to move and the. first half ended with the score six to nothing. The rain contiirned · to pour as the second half started and. neither team was able to move. until a blocked Washburn kick was picked up on the 19 and TituS: raced o.v't!r from there to scorePeru's try for the extra point went wide as the ball slippeg off Powers' right foot.

A slippery ball which was hard to handle robbed Peru of two, scoring chances as Buettgenbacb, and Logsdown slipped behind the Washburn defense and got in the clear, only to lose the ball shO!.'il of its mark. Was~burn scored its final touchdown late in the third stanza, going ovei: their own ,right tackle for 65 yards . Linder, Muntz Injured Captain Wayne Linde, and end Merlyn Muntz both injured a leg early in the game and were forced out of the contest.

Now available at the library is The United Nations World, a new magazine dealing with international affairs. The need for a journal to keep people informed of progress of the United Nations and to in_terpret the complicated developments that come' about during the creation of this great cooperative world movement for peace and progress has been met by the merging of three outstiwding magazines. In order that the pub-· lication might have a purely international point of view, with little attention to national slants or sovereignties, the magazines chosen for the merger were A.ilia, Inter-American, and Free World, all of which hitherto provided meeting places fo~ the great international minds.

THE PEDAGOGIAN ex. , freshman initiation for has turned out to be a comflop. It is quite clear now t an initiation with the rules had this year cannot be carried without a paddle line. It is o evident that next year we Id have an initiation with a d type of "violence" for all laters of rules or no initiation all. The idea of having a court to al with all rule breakers is very od. The trouble with the court ·s year is that it has absolutely power to deal out punishment. Some people will say that the perclassmen would get out of nd if paddfes were allowed but don't believe they would. Back ·ore the war when we really d good' initiations, the court ermitted freshmen to paddle any pperclassman who, in the judgeent of the court, put too much ·"oomph" into his paddling. That tuling was enough to keep the initiation from getting . out ! of hand.

PERU PEDAGOGIAN

Pe4 Gets Idea for ·rurning Town into Second Sun Valley Students at PS'I'C are sitting on ' a gold mine without realizing it. A suggestion has come to the attention of the Pedagogian that ,proposes a plan for making Peru the Sun Valley of the middle:west. According to the author of the proposal, bob-sled runs could be built from the campus to the business district. Built in pin-ball machines would line the bobsled 'run and insure the immediate suc~ess of the venture. Escalators would return students to the campus from the end of the run. The playground should result in the opening of many busii:ess enterprises in Peru. A h©sp1tal ' catering to accident victims should do a thriving business. A gain · in population would undoubtedly result, for many of the victims woud be permanently unable to .leave Peru.

New Students Can :Find Much About Peru -Jn College Library Students new to Peru, especially from other states, may find .iinteresting information about the : .5Chool and community from these sources 1 suggested by Miss Nellle Carey, librarian. Two books .PY former students are especially recommended. Har' old Prichard, present representative to the unicameral legislature, from· Falls City, is author of "History of Peru, Neb., to 1900" and "History of Peru State Normal" is written by J. M: McKensie. A fo~er geography instructor ..at the college, Louise N. Mears, wrote "Hills of Peru.'' Also in the library is a com• :plete file of the Peru Pedagogian .and predecessors and an incomplete file of the Peru Pointer dating back to 1898. Records of the development and activities of the college are . revealed in the bound volumes of the catalogs, bulletins and directories as well as copies of "Sifting Sand" dating from 1936, and the annual "Peruvian" from 1908.

Ped's Personality

By Jean Meister Agnes Wilis is having a hard time making ends meet. The Bobcat Den has been giving her all her change in dimes ever since they heard she was saving them. Mike loves the Nebraska outof-doors so much she tries to bring some of it inside with her. Thus far her menagerie includes one very dead snake and a frog. One morning Jackie was overheard saying, "I've got an idea. I think I'll go fishing today," and fish she did for twenty minutes even calling out her wares, 'Fresh Fish'." Fern and Cokes themes song is, "All or nothing at All." After a day of lopsided walking, the~ were ready for a level headed loo!;: at the world. Bonnie Is Plumber Plumber Bonnie is in the cleaning mood. If the water won't go down the drain, she takes out but a single screw, and ah then-the water runs out on the floor. The accomodating .school board of the classroom management class settled any fears Sarah Jane may have had about the dating prospects for you,ng school teachers. The superintendent won the privilege of Wednesday and Saturday nights . Not wishing to risk the wrath of an upperclassman, Laura Argabright obligingly washed Ellen D.'s hair. Revenge was prompt and satisfying. She didn't rinse out the soap. Fuse Blower Lights out in 329 and 331 is a continual affair. Opal Reehle tried to pry out a plug with a brass key. She was so busy watching the sparks fly that she didn't notice the blown fuses. Judge Barb Berger pronounced judgement. on wayward freshmen at Kangaroo Court. Prosecuting Attorney Cris, wielding a large cleaver, advised the white robed jury to find all culprits guilty. The raking, 'scrubbing and fishing activities of the next day gave evidence of their decision. Ruth Ann and Jean brought back wedding cake for themselves and their next door neighbors. It never fulfilled its purpose though. It looked good enough to eat, so they ate it.

Redfern Turns from ~Heauy' to Hero Willard Redfern who portrayed Jonathan (Boris Karlof) in the play "Arsenic and Old Lace" will be the dashing hero in this year's epic. Margaret Lewis has changed from an eccentric old maid administering a bit of poison with each glass of wine, to a swashbuckling character named Battle Axe Anne. Her apt portrayal will be one of the highlights · of this year's dramatic offering. Of course there will be many other rather interesting characters played by equally good actoi;s.

Doane college, 1946 N.C.C. cha~ and favorite fo repeat this year, had lady-luck on its side and tied Peru 7-7 last Friday evening at Crete. Doane started out like champ. ions. They walked all over the Bobcats the first half and looked as if they would win withou~ much dificulty. The Tigers scored their touch· down midway in the first period, Peru quaterback, Al Powers, got off a nice kick from near his own end 'zone. Ken Kasparek took the ball on his own 44, ran to midfield and lateraled to Gene Valenta as he was being tackled, Valenta streaked down the side· lines with good blocking and scored standing up. Morrison'& try for extra point was good. Peru controlled the second more than Doane did the first half. The Bobcats out-charged and out ran the Tigers to tie. the game up. Peru took the ball on thei.l;' own · 30 yard line early in the thtrd c1uartcr and marched 70 yards for a touchdown. Al Powers spearheaded the drive with sev. ecal long runs. Darrell Mudra, sopn0more fulback, slashed off his ov- 11 left tackle from 12 yards out for the score. Dick Campbell's placement was good _to tie the score. The Bobcats started to march again late in the fourth period but "father time" was playing for Doane. Murt Campbell led the way to Deane's six yard line but the game ended with Peru short of a touchdown and four downs to make the needed six yards. Al Powers was Peru's offensive star. Jerry Clayburn and Glenn Eis were especially outstandingin the line. DOANE PERU Gross art LE Buettgenbach ',LT Redman Eis Birkholtz LG Clayburn Punches c M.

Bobkittens Defeat Tigiers Measure Humboldt 33-0; Bobcat 'B' 14-0 Helms Scores Two By M. A. Richards

Peru Prep launched its fifth straight win of the season last Friday night by trouncing Humboldt 33-0. Junior Helms started things rolling, scoring on a 63 yard jaunt early in the first quarter. Al Majors countered a few moments later, intercepting a Humboldt pass and racing 45 yards to pay dirt. Junior Helms started Prep rolling in the third period, scoring his second touchdown of the evening on a three yard buck. Ansel Clayburn added the .fourth touchdown on a 25 yard end sweep. The final touchdown came a few minutes before the game ended wfth Al Majors galloping 35 yards for . his second touchdown. Coach Bill Witty's Kittens have now scored 180 points in five games for an average of 36 points per game. The Babkittens will be heavy favorites to down Weeping Water tonight. Weeping Water was tripped by Table Rock early in the season and the Prepsters rolled over Table Rock 38-0 two weeks ago. Some• of the boys from Delzell (not excluding the football squad) must have very strong· attractions in Auburn. Freshmen say they can't even consider themselves safe in that town.

Returning Peruvians learn Organization Needs More Funds

The Alumni Association has begun its drive for funds. Since its formation, the Association has had to contend. with a lack of funds. The association will function without dues and depend ~upon contributions by the alumni. Many have contributed and it is hoped that many more will do the same. The goal has been set at 5,000 'dollars and at least 4,000 persons are expected to share in the drive. An argument used by the Assoc- · iation is that all dop.ations are exempted from income tax. The opening date for the drive was Sept. 1. The money raised in the drive will be used in the following ways: Alumni Bulletin .,,,,., .. ,., $3,000 Alumni quarters ..,,. .. -.. ., .. .,..... 500 Unrestricted, current use 500 Alumni Scholarship Fund l,000 Total ., ..........., ........ .,_....... $5,000

Vetville Clean Up, Project Underway KEEP SMILING is the password in Vetville. It seems that the rat_ny season is in the offing and that means mud. Besides that the project to clean up the little city is under way. ' One project to be considered is 'the wonderful condition of the ,,drive . ways into the rresidential area. Someone suggested that the washboard effect could be removed. The following solution has been offered. Get some qualified beautician to remove the wrinkles in much ··.the same manner as from the face 'of an over-in'dulged dowager. If this would work the cost would . be somewhat lowered by the fact that the surrounding territory has an abundant supply of 'allpurpose clay. This could be used for the mud pacl;:s required in the · tra,nsformation. As a last resort the Village of Peru might be persuaded to use . the city grader and just push the ruts, holes and gullies full of tiirt. :A.nother aspect of the cleaning program is the cutting of all over. %wwri weeds. This can bi\ listed as another money saving to the veterans with one or l/l&e children of the age to toddle. How? Simple! The weeds and grass make a good hiding place.

Ped's Personality By Jean Meister A big hustle in the everlasting .,. hustle-bustle of preparing for. campus activities is Ruth Ann Crook. "Small. but mighty" ex· presses her influence on the campus.

Almost four hundred years elapse between the historical periods of Hartzell Spence's "Vain Shadow" and Elswyth Thane's "The Light Heart," recent acquisitions of the rental shelf of the college library. · Tliumbing through faded parchment records in libraries of Ecuador, South America, Spence be~ came interested in the personality , and adventures of Don Francisco Orellana, the swashbuckling Con:. quistador who discovered the Amazon River. His interest resulted in the book "Vain Shadow," a romantic .biography, so gripping and full of suspense' that, once begun, it is difficult to lay it aside. "The Light Heart," on the other hand, is set in the Virginia of the early 1900's and carries its heroine, Phoebe Sprague, to London and back. In the English city th~ Virginian becomes indirectly involved in forces leading up to the first World War. This novel will be found to be quite an addition to the literature of the period.

Lost Among The Oaks By Bob Thurman A few weeks ago in order to receive some mail I wrote a postal card to a mail order firm asking for a book catalog. I received the catalog. In fact, I've been receiving phamplets, bulletins, circulars, notices and letters ever since. It seems that everyone wants to sell me a book of .some type ranging from "How to Make a Living" to "Swedish Massage and Hydro-Therap:i: Course." I have become co:ivbced that I have a direct line of communication with all publishers. PSTC could use a few of the books described in my catalogs. I have arranged these books under appropriate headings to enable the student or professor to speedily select the book which will prove indispensib}e to him.

This five-foot, two-inch senior started to Peru in the summer of '43 but continued to teach school. She decided that was a slow way to obtain a degree. so two years ago she began her career of making roommates happy.

I even heard rumors that I was to be retired, while this upstart of a newcomer took my place. It worked fine for a while, then on one trip the new boy was taken ill. I was called upon to go relieve him of his charges. I felt awful, my head was pounding as if something was loose in it, but I carried out my task, brought back the stranded people, all in good health. That was last year.

The wind was a deciding factor as the Bobcats were held to a 0-0 tie by Wayne last Saturday afternoon on the Wildcat field.

The following is a digest of opinions expressed by Mrs. Harding in answer to questions coneerning the charcter of the sessions of the United Nations, the use of the veto power, the use of police power to enforce decisions of the United Nations, and the reports published by the American press regarding the Unite~ Nati6ns. Concerning the character of the sessions of .the United Nations, Mrs. Harding said that if one were to attend one of the sessions he would become greatly discouraged by an apparent lack of progress in the deliberations. She mentioned, however, that 1.the same lack of progress and se~m, ingly endless debate could'1 be observed in the meetings of the Parliment of Iran, the. Congress

of the United States, or of any other large governmental group. It is her belief that the difference in the cultural background of 'he delegates to the United Nations makes it very difficult for them to reach agreements. She believes that the presence of more delegates with an intern.ational rather than a national, point of view would facilitate the solution of problems which arise between member nations. On the question of veto power it is her opinion that no nation should have the power to block decisions. She believes that- a veto should require majority vote of the five nations which have the right to veto.

Mrs. Harding is in favor of military power to enforce the United Nations decisions, but not a force so large that it wollid be a threat to each member nation, but rather a police force which, with the support of the member nations, would be strong enough to enforce \:lecisions and maintain international peace. When asked whether the newspapers of the United States are giving their readers an unbiased account of the affairs of the United Nations, Mrs. Harding replied that most of the American papers she has read report the news as they wlsh it to be rather than as a statement of facts. She also asserts that Ameri~an papers mold peole's opinions so that they . conform to what the publishers believe rather than to the facts ..· An obJective reporting of the facts, she holds, would .allow people to form their own opinions.

·Delzell Presents "Fall Folli:es" Ladies and gentlemen, your Roving Reporter, is speaking to. you today from the .lobby of Del- ·. zell Hall, where, appropriately enough, the world premier of that intriguing motion picture, ... "The Delzell Follies of 194 7" will be presented this evening. This gathering is indeed a colorful and lavish-spectacle. The 75-watt bulbs cast a diffused radiance over the scene, making it a little difficult to distinguish objects and persons, but undoubtedly creating a much nicer effect than the usual Klieg lights. We'e going to make an attempt to bring some af the many celebrities present tonight to our microphone. But, first a few remarks about the pictwe itself. We had hoped to bring you an actual account of the movie but since technical difficulties beyond our control render that impossible, 'We must be content with several interviews with principal .members of the cast and production staff. But we have a surprise in ·store for you who are not able to attend the premiere. We have been permitted to be "on location" with the company during the shooting of all scenes and we are happy to , report that in future issues you will find accounts of these scenes taken from the official shooting script. Watch this space for the exciting installments of "The Del~ zell Follies of 1947". But now a group of people is approaching from whom. we're sure you would enjoy a few words. It seems now that the celebrities are b_eginning to arrive. Yes, here are the co-producers approaching the microphone and I'll see if I can get them to bring us a few words. R.

R. R.-Thank: you, ladies and gentlemen, you have heard from the producers of the "Follies." I see the director of the picture surrounded by bobby-sex autograph hounds and I'll try to bring him to our microphone. He's one of those shy, retiring individuals who seldom say much but perhaps I can coax a statement from him.

'~ Along with the more alert colleges of the country, Peru State offers a course in the Rus-. sian language. Elementary Russian is being taught this semester, and according to Mr. George Rath, who instructs in foreign languages, an advanced course will be offered when the students are ready for it. The course iS designed to ac. quaint students with the language an'd literature of a country now so much the subject of popular discussion. A further aim is the hope that a knowledge of Russian will lead to a better understanding of the Russian people. Mr. Rath states that, the study of Russian is increasing in the United States and that there has been a 500 per cent increase in the study of foreign languages generally.

Mr. Mathews said that the grades were turned into his office Tuesday and that the advisors should have them by today. In the past· the Dean of Women and the Dean of Men have been responsible for: the quarter grades.

The queen and her attendants should have been dressed in formal gowns. A small girl and boy dressed as pages should have carried the crown and acted as attendants to the queen.

The queen should have had a thorne, colored in blue and white, with flowers surrounding it. A large bouquet of red roses should have been handed to her by our football captain.

Coach Al Wheeler's Peru Bob• cats wind up their 1947 grid campaign when they play host to the York Panthers. The Bobcats will attempt to halt their losing streak at three games by beating a Panther eleven that has yet to win their first conference a game. In league play York has lost to Kearney, Doane, Chadron, Mid· land, Hastings, and Wesleyan. Of these teams the Bobcats topped Chadron and Midland. In nonconference tilts the Panthers have been victorious over Sterling, Kans., and ChillicOthe, Mo. In last year's game Peru won 32-3 as Jim Mather hit pay dirt twice. Other Bobcat markers were chalked up by Wayne Lirrder, Bob Brown, and Al Powers. York's leading offensive threat is two speedy halfbacks who are Denny Auchard and Ross Speece.

French Club Plans Entertainment

PSTC Selected As Hea Ith Center By Kellogg Plan Nebraska is one of the five states in the country that are receiving subsidies from the Kellogg Health Foundation, and Peru State Teache.rs College is one of the few institutions selected to administer the health program. Because of slipport from the Kellogg ·· Foundation, Peru is rapidly becoming a health center for tlie surounding counties of Cass, Nemaha, Johnson, Otoe, Pawnee, Sarpy and Richardson. Assistant workers, county and school superintendents, and public health nurses of these ..c:_ounties are ali wm;king in conjunction with -the health committee on the Peru campus. The college committee consists of Mrs. Ruth V. Mathews, Dr. C. W. Pollard, Miss Shirley Mehrens, Mr. A. G. Wheeler, and Miss Pn:Yllis Davidson. Improved health service for college students is · one of the aims of the health committee this yellr. Audiometric tests are being, 1 given Peru students for the first ·time this year. The clinic staff also conducts mental tests, per- 1 sonality tests, aptitude tests, tele- . binocular tests for vision, and· tests to indfoate speech defects. ' For the first. titne X-x;ays will be ; ma'de of each ·student,· and health : guidance cards will be prepared• for students with defects so that they will be better equipped'when consulting physicians At the University of Nebraska! last suinmer, Ji.ealth instructors devoted ari ·entire eight weeks to . · study of health courses. They attempted to work out a more ade~ quate course .. for prospective teachers. Mrs. Mathews was .in attendance at.thes:ummer session; and the program she helped form" ulate is now in the experimental: stage in the four teachers colleges of Nebraska.

'French students plan music, dramatics, and oratory to entertain fellow Foreign Languarge Club members at their meeting next Tuesday evening. They will employ the French language only in their plays and songs. Mrs. Clifford Harding will be guest speaker. She will discuss "Learning'·a Foregin Language" and will give an account of her own experience learning English. Hilarity is predicted when Ruth Randall, in the role of a miilsionary, tries to convert Don Lavigne, who plays the part of a cannibal in a short play, "The Good .Christian." Robert' Draney, Robert Musil and ....dward Hess turn funnymen to present a second play, "This Is the War." The spotlight will move to music for a vocal" solo by Sara Jane 'Lyons. She also will join other members Of the French class when they sing several French songs.

Panel Talks Planned Home Economics Club girls will meet in the Music Hall next Monday at seven p.m. to hear a panel discussion on "The Transfer o~ Training in Home Economics to Vocations other than 'reaching." The members of Miss Edna Weare's home economics methods - class, Evelyn Gatz, Agnes Wiles, and Rozellen Ballard will conduct the discussion. A new solution of the refreshJnent problem was worked. out by this ciub. They will serve no more refi;:eshments at regular Jneetings in the future.

Ped' s Personality

Question

As we ~xpected, our first guest editorial on the "flop" of the

homecoming brcught some long and loud howls. We'll close the matter With this issue, we h-Ope. The odor of the crowning of the Homecoming Queen was not so obnoxious as we would be led to believe. To the unbiased and rational spectator it was very satisfying. It is probably .true that the Queen and her attendants should have been provided with flowers. However are we so. immersed in the practices of the past that we cannot digress one whit from· them wi_thout bringing down the wrath of the gods on our heads? BY wh«t rule is it always necessary to have queens preceded py a bunch of little children, usually doing the wrong thing at .the *ron.g time, and drawing the attention of the entire crowd to their aritics instead of watching the important bit of activity which is going on at the moment?·

By Jean Meister It may seem a paradox that one of the teachers on the campus can remember when the gym was a chapel and the music hall a science._building and in reality be as young as many of the· students on the campus. Miss Nona Palmer is proof of the saying that teaching keeps a person young. At first glance her gray hair may deceive; but not for long, In mind a:nd heart she is as youthful as any coed.

All this fuss and furor about the crown-bearer, train-bearer, flower giris, pages, etc., etc., looks '?fOnderful on paper and al ways sounds good when under discussion, but rarely, if ever, does the thing go according to plan. Have you ever seen a three, four, five or six·· year old train bearer complacently chewing the queen's tri\in while the queen m'9'ches sedately up to the throne? Have you ever watched a· couple of flower girls stray from the proper path, scattering their precious petals anywhere and everywhere except on the path the queen is to tread? Have you every seen a young crown-bearer lose the crown midway along the trail, necessitating its rescue by some harried adult? If so, it would indicate that the children do not add much except an element of farce and comedy to a .supposedly serious moment. In addition, who by the longest stretch of the imagination could 'Iiossibiy consider formal dress approprlate for any footba:ll game .ever? No recognized authority would condone such ·di;ess for such an -0ccassion. The . prop'er attire for the spectatOT at a football game is :the recognized suit or coat. What cot1ld be. more incongrous than the .sweaty and sometimes muddy and dirty football captain crowning a 'girl wlio is dressed in a formal gown? If the queen is to be dressed in a formal dress, then the man doing the crowning should be attired ·µi .a tuxedo. ,How would the coach like his captain so suited? -ff the tormal dress is so necessary, the queen should be crowned at the Homecoming dance and ll'Ot at the game. If formal attire were suitable for a football spectator, which it isn't, who would want to ask several girls attired in flimsy evening gowqs to sit for two and a half. hours on the cold concrete in the Oak Bowl? A place whicl:yis always quite chilly in the fall, and which may be very uncomfortably cold on a mid-October day. Why should the Homecoming Queen (to quote from The Pedagogian editorial· of November 14) have a "thorne" to sit on? Why, necessarily, covered with blue and ~hite? Why a large bouquet of red roses, when chrysanthemums are1the standard an.d acoepted flower of the football season? Why should the queen necessarily have a crown ()f flowers? Not too many of the "old grads" were vitually conc.erned with the crowning-their major interest is the game. The crowning of a queen. has not been done forever at Peru,' (even if some do think that is the case).· Why not give the co_mmittee in charge the right and opportunity to express a little individuality, and .not be so hide-bound by the supposed-and wrongly so-traditions?.,

* EDITOR'S NOTE:

And what about h1xedos at the so called "formal.""

Ain't It the Truth? From The Daily Kansan, University of Kansas, "A lot· of people who don't say 'ain't' ain't eatin', and they ain't makin' $30,000 a year either. "Edgar N. Gregg, 26*, recently called at the home of Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes, retired professor of English, to keep a 20-year-old appointment only to find Miss Hoopes on vacation. " 'I was a stt:.de!1t of Miss Hoopes' English class in the 20's at the·end of the semester my chances of passing the course were somewhat in doubt,' Mr. Gregg explained. " 'Miss Hoopes told me I : couldn't write, I couldn't spell, and I couldn't express a single idea on paper. However, she decid~d to pass me on the basis of hard work and good attendance, a:~d requested that I return in 20 years to tell her if she had done the right thing. "'Well, here I am, I still can't write, I1 still .can't spell, and I can't express a thought on paper-but ~'m making $30,000 a year in ' California'.".

Ghost and Columnist Collaboratt "What'll I write about this week?" I asked mY ghost writer. . "I wish you would give me a napie," the ghost said. "What would I call you?" countered. "Oh-Whitey, or Percale, or Albino, er most anything clever like that," said the ghost. · "I don't feel clever," I said. "vVell, if you can't. give me a name, let's get to work," offered the ghost as he drew up his sheet and sat down on a pile of old, stale air that was hanging in the corner of the room. "Remember, it has to be funny," I said. "How about this? Did you hear about the ghost who was arrested because he was shady character?" "No, no, that will never do." "How about this? I found my love on Cemetery Hill, or I moved a tombstone and there she was.' "I don't care for that either," I said. "Even Redfern wouldn't print that!" I offered the ghost a cigarette. "No, thanks," he _said. "I have my own brand-they're called Coffin Nails. They come in a satjn-lined box and each one has a hammered-brass tip. I used to smoke phantoms, but they were nothing but air;" · After that outburst I tried to get rid of the ghost, but he hung around. "Did you hear about the happy ghost?" asked the ghost. , "No," I said gritting my teeth. "He was a phantom of delight," roared the ghost as he zoomed about the room. "Now listen," I said, "don't you think it's time for you to go back to your grave, or wherever ghosts go?" "I've got all the time in the world," answered the ghost. "Let's get this column,written," L ,Said in desperation. "How about a burlesque of a disc jockey?" "Now, you're geetlng somewhere. How would I work it?" "Well, you know how they answer requests.

DELZELL FOLLIES

By Jim Steele

Dorm Men Hold "Hangover" Meet on Dance Problems Act I, Scene 2 The whole cast is on the stage as the curtain ris~s and a meeting of some importance is in prog1 ess. CHIEF: Gentlemen, may I have your attention, please! (At this comman<J, all become silent with the exception of a group of rowdies who seem to be under the impression that they are in American Government class.) As you all know, the Girl's Fall Formal is rapidly approaching and in response to an avalanche of queries regarding th~ proper etiquette and sociar manners to be displayed at an affair of this kind, I have arranged for our trio of Information Please experts to appear before yoti this evening. (Han<lcla.Ps and pleased smiles greet thi$ · announcement and attention i.s riveted on the three men. After the clatter of the riveting dies aw.ay, the Chief introduces the experts who are all trying to get into ,the limelight. Disgusted at this display of bad manners, the lime takes its light and stalks off in high dudgeon.) CHIEJ!': The tall per!16n in the middle is our guest expert of the week, "Sees-All" Redfern. On the left is ''Knqw~All" Hippe. And on the right is that allaround gentleman of· distinction, "TellscAll" Elwell. And now, men, fire away with your questions. (A hesitant individual rises from the front row,1 scraping one foot against his cheek in obvious embarassment.) CHIEF: (In a kindly tone.) Yes, go right ahead, Linder. LINDER: I'd like to knbw what color corsage I should wear with

a brown suit. (He beams expectantly at, the experts, who in turn, glance helplessly at each other. The Chief waits the required nine minutes and then rings the buzzer.) CHIEF: Since you have stumped our experts, Linder, you receive the usual prize, a sheaf of onedollar bills. (Hands the bills to Linder who ·pins them on his suit in a h~ppy solution to his problem.) SMITH: (From back row.) My big trouble on these occasions is that I always get ready too early .and by the time my date calls for me, my collar is wilted, my tie askew and the seams of my socks horribly twisted. Would it be unseemly if I waited until she 8.rrives to put on the last-minute touches? ("Tells-All" seems to know the answer to this stickler; his hand waves excitedly in the air.) "TELLS-ALL": (In his eagerness to answer, he absent-mindedly opens his eyes.) Thats easy. I always wait until the latest possible minute to comb my hair. 'Course you· gotta time it just rignt or. she's liable to pick up some character from J;he lobby in order to spite you: Come to think of it, that happens every time to me! (After delivering this sage advice, "Tells-All" slumps ba'ck in his chair.) (At' this· juncture of the proceedings, it seems that the men have lost all interest in the subject. They chatter back and forth, exchanging notes or\ hai:·-dr·s, gather around Duncan to admire the new, long cuff-line he has on his trousers and, in general, pay no attention to the experts

whatsoever. This is only to be expected since the experts themselves have retired to a corner and are deep in a bridge game. They are using a tackling dummy for a fourth and are becoming desperate as the dummy wins hand after hand.) CHIEF: (Noting that no one is listening to him-whispers.) Closing hour Saturday night will be five minutes after the dance. (Takes off his serious expression and lays it tenderly in a desk drawer to signify that the meeting is over.)

Mythical C9nference All-Star Eleven Selected By Pedagogian

PORT HORTS

Upon comuletion of another gridiron season The Pedagogian has ,endeavored to select its version of the 1947 Nebraska College Con~erence All-Star team. Membership on the first eleven is based on the player's ability, his importance to his team arrd his durability. The 1 most important source of information in seleCting this team was the ;Peru coaching staff and members of the Bobcat football squad. It was impossible to place several outstanding performers on the -}earn because an injury kept them 5idelined during-the majority ;the season. Among these are Dick Punches, stellar Doane center, Alden · ,Yohnson, speedy Wesleyan halfback, Al Powers, Jerry Clayburn, and }\:Ierlyn Muntz of Peru, Guards Tom Emel of Hastings and Earl Wen,'bourne of Wayne are probably the mPst unamimous choices along :with Big Don, Mclllece, Hastings fullback.

Veterans will be given automatic leaves of absence over the Christmas holidays. This is a change from last year when vets were given the option of continuing their subsistence allowance or. taking a leave and conserving their entitlement. Leave is accrued at the rate of two and a half days a month. This subsistence may be drawn at the close of school in the spring if desired. Students not wishing leave can have the time applied to their entitlement by filling out form 7-1908 sixty days before leaving school. If leave is taken the time is deducted from the total entitlement of the veteran. The Veterans Administration ~oes not. anticipate any raise in "allowance for men drawing more or less than 30 per cent disability, in the near future·. This is sure to be a topic of warm discussion. for congress next regular session.

Dr. Nicholas

Ret~rns

Dr. W. L. Nicholas returned recently from a visit to four universities in search of teachers. He visited the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Wisconsin Unive~ity and the Un" iversity of Illinois. President Nicholas reported seeing the Chicago Bears, Notre Dame and Purdue football teams, all at one time on this trip. It seems they stayed at the same hotel in Chicago.

Last Friday night the Peru Bobcats successfully closed the season by wading through the York Panthers 26-0 in the "Mud" Bowl. With Senior Myrt Campbell carrying the mail Peru buried the winless Panthers deeper in the NCC cellar on a snow covered field. The Wheelermen struck · pa;1 dirt early when Myrt Campbell bulled over from the two with only five minutes of the game gone, ending a sustained mar.ch which covered more than half the length of the field. It was Campbell again midway in the second quarter who tallied to shove the Bobcats out in front This ended Peru's scoring until late in the third quarter when Don Cowell intercepted a Panther pass on the York 25 and ran un•. touched across the goal. Lane made his second conversion of the evening makin,g the score 20-0. But the Bobcats were not to be denied as Wilson and Titu! combined gains of 25 and 18 yards to give Peru a first and ten on the Panther 25. With Wilson tak.. ing the· ball, he skirted off tackle through a large hole and went all the way to score. York staged its only serious threat in the fourth quarter. Paced by the smashes of Bob neBor and Denny Auchard, the Pan• thers put on a 65-yard march, which ended on the Peru three. Oscar D. ·Smith -also sang the swan song for Peru as he turned in a nice job of centering the slippery pigskin.

Hats Off To Biue Devils

Ped' s Personality

Orchids to the Blue Devils! There oould have been no finer gesture of appreciation than they ma<le to the Fighting Bobcats on Thursday evening, November 20.. Everything aboutthe footbal banquet bespoke the master touch: the well chosen toastmaster and speakers, the tasteful decorations, the clever programs and place cards., the exceptionally smooth seating arrangements, the excellent food. Anyone who has ever had any connecti0n with such an undertaking can apprecliate the enormous amount of planning and work necessary to produce the finished result that the Blue Devils achieved. Thank you -Phyl.Jis Davidsop

AModern Parable From the school publication at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Jersey comes the following modern parable: There was a friend of ours who lived in a particularly densely populaited. section of Brooklyn. Now this man was intelligent and well informed-so well informed that he <Came dow.n with a disease common to our times, BOMBPHOBIA. He would lie awake nights in his hot Brooklyn :apartment and while he was not bordering on hysteria, his :thoughts would go something like this: "Well, if they oome ,over and drop it, wh&re are they going to drop it? Where it will do the most damage, that's where, and that's here, right here ..." and he would sweat away the remained of the miserable rr~ght. Finally, he could stand it no Longer, so he moved to a 1arge college. Life on the academic battle~ground was pleas· Ing for attime. But Then phobia came to sit on .our friend's shoulder in the night, and it said: "Where are they going to rdrop :it? Right ,where it 'Yll do the most damage, of course, ·and that's Right Here. Why sure,.where the minds are con·gregated-or, at least where ~ey think the minds are con· ~regated."

,So. our friend who was a little haggard by now, packed his bags and moved up. foto the far reaches of Alaska. One day his nearest neighbor said, "We're going to have tio move :any day noW:." "Why?" asked our friend, who was just beginning to get ;used to the place. "Great Heavens, man, do you want to get caught? When they invade, where do you think they~ll come from? Right ·across the Strait,. right through here, that's where they'll rcome." So our friebd' packed biis bags ~d moved. At 111st he -came to the Great American Desert in .the southwest part ,of the United States. "A last I haV'e escaped," he said, "but has anyone else?" .. ~And -just at that moment came a monstrous roar. Our friend never heard the accompanying explosion... When the scientists came to study the crater made by -this rocket they were testing, there was a young one among them who kept insiisting that some, sort of inhabitants had been wlher'e ·the rocket had fallen. There were, he insisted, seV'eral pieces of eviderice strewn about; .·· "Don't be ~illy," said the other scientists, "why would anyone be living in this desolate area?"

NI Gossip .Column · We are willing to listen to any coQ.structive suggestion wbiich might improve the paper. We willingly admit. that there is plenty of room for improvement. BUT NO GOSSIP COLUMN. If.there were not many other good reasons, the mere fact that the average column of light, flittery chit-chat about some ind;vidual's friends, andjor enemies; is simply a iuven· ile collection of cliches, as passe as the mustache cup, would rule it out. So, many other college newspapers pri_nt a gossip col· umn.1 Well, that's quite true.

For the most part the pre-registrati<m program has been completed. Except for a few cases most students have met with their advisors and made out a tentative selection. of subjects for the next semester. One chief reason for this early poll is to enable the administration to offer the courses most in 1 · · demand. Another reason is to relive the registration day rush. A course in aeronautics will be offered for .the first time next semester. A present it is set up as a two-semester course leading to a commercial pilot's license. A one semester course will qualify a student for a private license. The college will grant four hours credit for· a semester's work. This will include three hours per week spent in class .and two hours in the air. Mr. , Sweetland will have charge of the _ground instruction. Mr. Larson will offer a course \in auto driving. This course is being offered in progressive high schools and aims to qualify students taking the course to teach

Peru Debaters Hold Own At, Omaha Peru debaters, in intercollegiate competition for the first time in many years, held their own at the University of Omaha last Friday when they met three University teams on the quastion of Federal World Government. Don Smith and Bruce Lowe, Peru's first affirmative team, on the basis of ranking by critic scorers were the outstanding team of the day. Bruce Lowe was highest ranking individual of the day on the same basis. Vivian LeCure and Lois Christensen, representing the negative, also did an outstanding job for the first appearance in competition. Bob Draney and Lloyd Fithian composed Peru's second afirmative and managed to hold their own 7-gainst the experienced competition. Wanda Bowers, Alvin Krupacka, and Keneth Wolford were also along on the trip but did not get to participate since Omaha did not have its second negative team available.

This morning's convocation program featured Professor :aobert D. Moore who gave a musi• cal reading, The Christmas Gift That Wasn't There.

:a·

The Peruvian Singers sang Today There is Ringing, Sanctus, by Gounod; a Christmas Carol, Now Let Us Adore Thee; Glory to God ·from Handel's Messiah; Hallelulia Chorus; and Ave Maria by Gounod-Bach. Soloist was Sara Jane Lyons. The Choir sang Sleep Judea Fair and Oh Holy Night with Peggy Bayer as the soloist.

Marilyn Granzer, Bonnie Aufenkamp, Phyllis Maxwell, Ev· elyn Engdahl, Beverly Hauptman, Janis Heim and Donna Kunce, Y.W.C.A. members, helped Peru get into the Christ· mas spirit when they made the rounds of the village last Wednesday singing Christmas carols. Pedagogian photo· grapher Ralph Graham caught them at the Linebaugh resi· dence.

Once again the spirit (Christmas spirit, that is) got the best of the Y.W.C.A. ;members. Result-Peru residents were noisily serenaded with familiar Christmas carols last Wednesday evening. This urge to vocalize seems to reoccur each year, and as a result caroling has become a Y.W.C.A. tradition. Two other events also seem, to have persisted throughout the years. Each fall the big sister Y members attemp~. to put the bewildered freshman girls at ease at \fl get-acquainted p~rty. With. appropriate portions of friendship, laughter, and food, they usually achieve their aim. Second semester finds the y members the busiest during their drive to raise funds for the World Stu'cle'nt Service Fund.

Band To Perform Soon · According to director Mr. V. H. Jindra, the college band will perform at the annual student-directed concert in late January.

The money raised during this drive is used to provide necessary books, supplies, food and clothing to needy c o 11 e g e st u dents throughout the world. In connection with this drive some foreign student is brought to the campus to tell of conditions existing in his country. Tentative plans indicate that some of the foreign students who are attending Hastings college will be guests here in late February. Eadier this fall the Peru YWCA was co-sponsor with Omaha University at the annual state convention of cielegates held at Camp ~rewster in Omaha. Fifty-odd members of the Y.W. are kept in check by a cabinet of ten members, headed by president Phyllis Maxwell. Two new officers were recruited this fall, secretary Donna Karas and vicepresident Ruth Walker. Treasurer Jessie Rhoten keeps a cautiou1' eye on expenditures, and the good· deeds of the , organization are. made known by publictiy chairman Darlene Brown. District·. representative is Wilma Kennedy·· and devotional services are in· charge of ROsemary Pershing." Jean Meiste.r is social chairman. Faculty advisers are Mrs. Alice Ulbrick and Miss Harriett Scott.

Play Set For January 18 s

Leo Carr (27) of Avoca, takes the rebound away from Comstock of Peru as Avoca downs the Prepsters 21-19 in the finals of th,e Peru InV'itational Basketball Tournament. Also in the picture are rangy George Wessel of Avoca and Al Majors of Peru behind Comstock. Carr, Wessel, and Majors were named on the All-Tournament team with Carr being voted the most valuable player in the tourney.

Suspense, drama, thrills and chills, all packed into one night of theaterMgoing, will lure playgoers to .the auditorium on the night of January 18 when Mr. Robert Moore and an all star cast will present "Little Brown Jug." On that evening James Steele, "Ira," the mentally warped gardener will bring blackmail pres_sure to bear. The victims of the old squeeze are Margaret Lewis, "Irene Haskell," an:d her daughter Lois Paap "Carol Barlow." The fiendish I;a forces the two ladies to take him into their Co.nnecticut home as a house guest. With his mental club, the guest dominates the household. An important question is"Why 1s he so unwilling to show his watch, especialy after Carol's brother-in-law, Norman Barlow, · played by Marvin Holscher arrives unexpectedly?"

Alumni Start Local Magazine To do something differentpleasingly different-is the aim of Bob and Evelyn Brown, alumni of Peru Training School and College, who are responsible for Inklings, a local magazine which made its first appearance last week. "Inklings is designed to ptovide reader interest and boost southeast Nebraska and PSTC," says ' Bob, the publisher, "and we hope to make some money, too." Recent employment with the Magazines of Industry Publishing Company brought varied experiences to the Bnowns, and they determined to apply that experience for the benefit of home town people-thus Inklings came into being. The magazine fbllows t h e make-up of Time, and its main attraction is its local appeal, home and farm news, and human interest stories about neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Brown invite contributions from students and faculty to their magazine. The writings may be fiction, fact or fancy. The first issue was sent to 5000 homes in this area. There is no subscription charge. Mr. Brown says his greatest encouragement in launching the enterprise came from editor Stanley of the Peru Pointer. ~

Language Club Meets Members of the Spanish class are responsible for the program for the Foreign Language Club's Christmas party, held last Tuesday evening. Christmas songs were sung in several tongues by representatives from the French, German, and Russian classes. ,

Green Stuff Is Dwindling of

We took a poll of some the male students a while back just to see if tips on dwindling campus pocket money' were the bunk. After looking at the answers, we. figure now is as good a time as any to break the sad news t~ the cloudriding coeds. Joe College is .on the verge of bankruptcy. In fact, some Joes have reachd that point long ago. Room and board, en· tertainment, flowers, and gasoline, all cost more. Everything is higher, except the government checks. Reports from banks show that University and college accounts all over the country 'have declined. War bonds and terminal leave bonds have been cashed. In other words, the barrel has just about run dry. In most cases, campus males ha"'.e done a heroic gentle• manly job in attempting to hide the truth from Betty Coed. A lot of men out on a date are secretly counting pennies, hoping to have enough left to pay for the laundry. We think Betty can help Joe. We th:ink Betty will, and no grumblings either, if she knows the way things stand; Weve seen a few who do know, are sympathetic, and from the reports :received, are willing to settle for a bag of popcorn, some good conversation, and a sh~rt walk. · Unfortunately there are many more who don't realize just how clo~e a lot of men are calling things, and who think a fellow doesn't "care" if he hasn't arranged a big evening. There is no doobt that we're being quite forward and maybe the gals won't like it, but come to think of it, ten years ago, in the not-too-gay 30's, guys and gals used to have :a whale of a good time with practically no cash. Cars were the exception then, and many wonderful evenings were had bad on ~ess than a dollar. Perhaps Joe and Betty have for· ,gotten how.

Play bate Changed to Jan. 29 Eight Campus Leaders Selected to Jan. 18, the original date set for the Dramatic Club play "Little Brown Jug" has been dropped. The reason for thi& action is illness in the ranks of the players. Jan. 29 will be the date of presentation. Despite the hold up of rehearsals the stage crew has been hard at work. The reason for all the extra labor put out for this .production by the stage managers and helpers is the · necessity of having 'two ~ompletely different · sets of scenery. The use of two sets is one of the things that put this play in a. class never before tried here. The opening scene is in a boat house .and the rest of the action takes place· in a farm home.

60-57.

The Antelopes put on a deterIT)ined third. quarter drive to pull within four ponts of the Bobcats, but two quick baskets by Hallstrom sent Peru on to a lead they never relinguished. Eiler's and Bauers bfilliant play from the court slowed Kearney's Bob Korte down to 9 points and sealed the Antelope's doom.

"Busi'' Knight's Wesleyan cagers will probably be the !lobcats' · toughest out-of-town opponent •. Last week Wayne knocked th~ Plain5men off the top rung o~' the NCC ladder by a 51-38 sco:rie,. The Wildc:i.ts well certaiilly be: !'I tough outfit on their home map~ les. However, the conference :race remains wide open as the s~ason approaches the half way ~ark.

Bobkittens Triumph Ooer Johnson 38-23 Led by the 1~ points of Evan Samples, Peru Prep swamped Johnson last Tuesday night, 38 to 22. Johnson's cagers made battle out of it during the first half. However, Prep's superiority became evident in the second half as they scored 29 points to Johnson's 11 counters. It was Peru Prep's ninth win against one loss and its sixth straight success.

The Peru , Bobkittens continued to l(ang up victories as they bumped Lewiston last Saturday evening 52-34. Prep Waf; never headed as they pulled away to a 24-12 lead at the half. Evan Samples, senior forward, was the big gun for the Kittens as he hit the net for 27 points.

'The PAT-A-CAKE

Interest is steadily increasing in the Intramural Basketball League, especially in tht two top teams which are the Jack Aces and Peru Prep Alumni. One of the most outstanding performers who was lost at mid-year was Danny Zanders the HaleyJ:iocks. Danny has signed a con. tract to play baseball for Fontehack in the Wisconsin Stat.\l Ll!ague. Fontenack is a member 6! the New York Yankee's tarm ~Htem.

..Among veteran track men 'j;)i'eparing for the coming season . are Wayne Linder, Bill Luce and Bob Livingston. Incidentally the tentative track schedule includes four dual meets-Tarkio, Maryville, Creighton and Washburn. Trips to the Kansas and Drake ,Relays are also included. Bobcat track teams have lost one meet in the past two seasons. The PSTC cindermen wound up second in the NCC m~et last spring.

PEDAGOGIAN Peru State Teachers College , Mrs. Lorraine Johnson, Mrs. Lois JohnSon, Mrs. Nadine Powers and-M:r.s Wilda Parsons attend -to :the· daily ·chores-in :an attempt··to .lighten "the white man's burden." Whereupon his wife casually remarked, "If you'd :chop the wood, I could keep the house warm." Her breath froze in the air before· the words were out· At this point, Mrs. Jenkins returned to her sewing .and Mr. , Jenkins excused himself to attend to the dusting. "IV:.y husband considers schooling a full time job. All he tlo~s is i;.!eep. .Look at that sag in that .couch! He complains about the grocery _bill, but look at this bill; Groceries, $8.90; bingo chances, "I'm only trying to make enough money to buy a pair of pants," declatmed Jenkins, who was wearing an apron over a pair of beat-up army long-johns." We have to take turns wearing the one pair of trousers I have left." He pointed to his wife, who had on a threadbare pair of suntans. "You take care of the heat, and you can have the pants," smugly rejoined Mrs. Jenkins.

Mrs. Rees Suffers Leaving this scene of domestic tranquility, your repor~er peeked in on Mi:. and Mrs. Merritt Ree~. Mrs. Rees thought that the P\e'd picture agreed with the facts of Vetville life. "Look at that loafer," she complained. "I have to get hiID- up in the morning by pouring carbolic acid between his toes." Mr. Rees began an oration on the little woman's failure to prepare breakfast for him, as yo,ur reporter ducked out the door. Mrs. Glen Eis, Mrs. Roger F,reet, an\l Mrs'. Earl Lowe, although not thoroughly indoctrinated in the i philisophy of male supremacy, displayed an admirable contempt for the doctrine of emancipation. Mr. and Mrs. Eis' accord seemed to have. been the result of his , willingness to let ·the madame pound the sack until mid-day. She reciprocates by attending to the mundane chores. Mrs. Freet reluctantly warmed up to the idea of, taking ·over the manual labor of the household, but after the ashes from the coal stove piled up to the ceiling, she saw the point and began to fulfill her matrimonial vows 100 per cent. Mr. Lowe has trained the shrew by making minor concessions in a well-planned campaign to acquaint his wife with the realities ·of· 1ife. He turns off the alarm in the mor~, throws an occasional ~ .. shovel of coal on the fire, and boils an infrequent egg. As a result " ·'If Mr. Lowe's shrewdness, Mrs. Lowe chores without a murmur. Mr. '°we is thinking of having !).er plow up the city park for a garden .ixt spring. Mrs. Lowe summed up the attitude of the true pioneering woman ··o has helped to make this country what it is. "Namby-pambies, "s what they 'are, those chicks who keep worrying about the size \eir girdles."

"Peru State Teachers College /has been accepted as a tn:~ber of the North Central Association of Co1leges and the American Association of .Teachers Colleges." Three .days after the·· PEDAGOGIAN was .·issued.. we re~ived an unsigned letter which informed us that the col~ ·Iege h~d been··· accepted into the two .associations b~ck in 19:10 and 1918. .The observant reader went. on to say, "Better have your ~taff read page 10 of the catalog. Thlis is not news ·, but 30 years· behind tirtles. T~k ! Tsk ! " . ' . Of course we immediately dug up a catalog and turned to page 10. The reader knew what he or she was. talking about for th.ere it was ·in black and wl.iite. "Peru State Teachers college wa\accepted as member of the' Ameri.can Association of Teachers Colleges in 1910 and as a ,member .of tlie. North Central Association of Co'lleges in 1918." A:t first we thought' perhaps some student vvrote the ..I letter but ori second thought we decided that probably every :stUdent, like •oursel':"es, didn,'t 1give this article ~ second ;;thought; Therefore the s~der must· have been here when ;the college wa$ acceptedJ as a member of the two assoeiationS· '>O\lr obvi:oU:s conClusi6n-the writer :was veteran fac~lty member.

Breakfasts Needed "College students are cheating themselves by skipping breakfast," said Miss Lillian Sorenson, national Red Cross nutrionis1l, in talk;s to the college and high school health and home economic classes, Friday, Jan. 30. "Surveys in Nei;naha County reveal that only five per cent of the school children are getting an adequate breakfast," stated Miss Sorenson. As a representative of the health service division of the Red Cross, Miss Sorenson travels throughout Iowa, Missouri, Nebras.ka, and Colorado while making county surveys on nutrition and health. Her present project is promotio.n of a five-point breakfast program in schools in this four state ar.ea.

Ped .Reviewer Says 'Little Brown Jug' Acting Tops For Amateur Production By Ruth Ann Crook January 29, 1948, at 8:05 p.m., the curtain went up for the long awaited presention of the drama "Little Brown Jug." Essentially this was a psychologic.a1 thriller. Marie Baumer very cleverely used calm logic and frenzied emotion to creat an exceptional situation. Never have I seen a group of amateurs dis.play acting so consistent with the level of appreciation of the audience. James Steele made Ira Carey a penentratingly forceful character who dominated every situation by insidious blackmail. He made the' green electric sign over "Ed's ·cafe" becorpe real, and from this point throughout thl' rest of the play Mr.. Steele and Ira became the same.. person. Irene Haskell, could have given him all the )ove and security which he so desperately· needed. Margaret Lewis · as Irene did a remarkable. job in swinging the audience to her. side when in the first scene of the second act she expressed her' cold fear of Ira. Until that time the audience hated Ira but they were indifferent to the rest of the cast. Don Smith could not adjust the radio volume control in the

first scene of act one. ·This, i itself, made the druriken seen realistic. A newcomer to Peru's stag Lois Paap, ·Characterized Car Barlow superbly. In the first a she screamed at Ira to stop h antagonism. There she was Car Barlow-not Lois Paap. How , ever, her action at the very firs· was a little hesitant. Miss Paa must have been blinded by the footlights. {' David Graham made Michae Andrews a knight in shining armor when he ordered Ira t · ~ive up the watch. However i.~ wovid have been a muci1 mor · forceful -scene had he really le ' himself go and knocked Ira a' high as w~ his Irish 'temper.

Conference Leaders Host To High Scoring Kearney Cagers Tonight The high scoring Kearney Antelopes will play the Bobcats tonigh' at 8 p.m. on the local court and will be a slight favorite to down the loop leaders.

The Alltleopes tallied 88 and 81 points in two engagements against Chadron and over• whelmed York 82-~5 last Friday, three days after Peru beat the same York team by three points.

-Dorm Fee Seems ·Steep .

,J>AGE TWO

Fhr some time it has been a: customary policy to cha~ge ' a nomiftal fee for the use of radios in the dormit_ories. This 'year 'the fee at the girl's dormitory was hiked considerably above the usual charge. Combined with cost of transformers · ·.·the raise make.S · the charge for use of the radio almost · prohibitive. .· . ,.

Four and half dollars a year_ seems a little steep con· sidering that few of the girls use radios enough to warrant the cost; and that many of the girls use: the radios for purposes 'other than entertainment. Under present cimditiort.s . the radio affords the fastest means of communication and , definitely hds an educ~tional value. · Several girls in the. dormitory, being unable ~o pay ~he . fee . have had to abandon their radios'·. Perhaps this explains the' reason for the hike in the fee, but i.f so it should be admitted. \1 . Nevertheless since the fees have been paid,· reluctantly · or otherwise wh~ can't the money be brought back info the , dormitory a~d used for some much n~eded repairs? At ~he \ present time there must be a fund . of at least . $50 which ',could be used for cleaning equipment, brooms for instance. 'The girls are using broomsticks with a wad of dirty straw, ·irons that are not only out-moded, but usually out of order. 'These suggestions have been made before, but evidentlr in ~·vain, because of the lack of funds. It would seem that the fonds derived from the radio fees could be ·used to ad· vantage. .

Rouin9 Reporter Finds Great Ag9re9ation Of Talent In Sneak Preuue Of College Follies By Robert B4)eSel "No,. no, no," screamed Qui,nn Lotspeich, "Try it again." The sweating chorus line came out again, Lloyd Darrow and Lyle Meier were beginning to assume the characteristics of spavined mules. Cliff Parsons tripped over , Oscar Dean Smith, and the line went down in a heap .. At this poillt Lotspeich tore his hair out in great strands. A. J. Gumbrell watched with reverence in his eyes. "Wish I could do that." Jerry Matschulatt and Bob Livingston were in rare form. Their united voices hit the night, and the night air was unable to hit b1)Ck. "Peanuts, popcorn, crack - a jack, a prize in each and every pack,'' mumbled Merle Sherman through a mouthful .of .. pea~ nuts, popcorn, and crackerjack. As if to cover up this confusion, ;Ollie Joiner, 1Marvin Hol.., scher, Lester Russell, Lyle Johnson Quinn Lotspeich, and Richard' Conley lit into "The Sheik of Araby.'' Buss Campbell and Thorne Dillon scr\'amed delightedly and wrapped themselves around the mike. Chuck Elwell charged up to Ed Hanna and queried, "Who was that piccofo I saw you with last nlght?" Hanna replied, "That wa~ no piccolo, that .was my fife." Percy · Schmelzer : gave a loud cry and fell on the floor.

Such was the s,ituation, ~n the night your reporter went to gather a sneak .previle on the much rumored Follies. · Never was there such an aggregation of talent compressed into such a small area. A hush fell on the group as Murv<1l ,,(\nnan, Percy Schmelzer, Maynard Schliefert, · and Vic Evans harmonized in "Bring the Wagon Hom~, John." Tears rolled down Richard Conle,y's 1

face. "I was on the ·wagon once." Dave Lang and Jack Whisler were lifting up the piano. "What's wro.ng?" asked Roy Laue. "Oh, ·someone hid one of Parsons' fans," m.umbled Whisler,. " and he refuses to practice without it." 1 In another corner, Gumbrell was coaching John ·Lewis. "Now,

Ped' s Personality Bv Jean Meist~r Male wolves (a so-called human variety) can be spotted as far as you can see them if you are wise to the wolf technique. And the technique is unvarying, accor.ding to an article by: Alice Leone Moats in the February issue of Junior Bazaar entitled "How To Spot a Wolf." "The technique of wolves seldom differs," the, article· says in part. "Young ones use it by instinct and aren't nee· essarily aware that they are using a technique; older ones have perfected and given it polish and they know exactly what they are doing. Aside from that difference, the methods are the same.. Their technique m:ight be compared to that oi tl,le jujitsu artist who. defeats his oj;iponent by making him use his own strength against Mmself. A wolf keeps stepping' back and letting the girl com,e forward, until, in her eagerness, .she falls on her face-fo put it politely." "Uncertainty is one of the chief weapons of the wolf. At the end, of his first date he will· murmer something about calling you again sometime and then let you sweat it out for a few weeks, wondering why he hasn't called. "An&ther wolf approach is his dedaration that he "doesn't like casual affairs.' "The moment a 'man. says that, run for your life," the ·article continues. "Y-0u may be certain that tfley are all he ·does like, and the more casual the better. Naura'lly they :have to be casual ~n his side only. Part of the fun is making you .think that this is the real thing, this is for keeps." When your new boy friend confides pensively that he "has been terribly hurt by a woman," beware, because. to the trained e.ar this wolf caH is as recogn'izable as the Star Spangled Banner. Arid wittingly or unwittingly the wolf 'is· aware of the fact tliat most women want to be needed, Th,erefore the 'work he is doing is never what really suits him, but with you. at his ..side he.·. could really accomplish· great things. When he finally slips out of your life either through 1ari adroitly engineered quarrel or 'a gradual disappearance, 'YOU can console yousetf that you wlll not be forgotten im· mediately-when h.e. statts to work on your successor, you will live on as the woman who "hurt" him, the article con· dudes. i Yi'i!~lll~

Peru Boxers Host To :Bluejay Team

By Norris Hale

We were very interested in an article which appeared in the Wayne State paper, recently. This article stated that the Wayne cagers will need assistance following the game with Peru on February 27. We would like to inform the Wildcat players and student body that it would be. much wiser to concentrate on giving the league leading Bobcats a good game on the maples, rather than any affair which might occur after the final whistle. In the latter case, such an affair is very unlikely because Bobcat mentors Al Wheeler and Newt Kyle, along with President Nicholas are stern advocates ot good sportmanship. All indications point to a thrilling game but the Kylemen rate a slight edge because of their brilliant record on their home court. 1

The iast reversal for the Bobcats on their home · rioor came on March 1, 1945 when Hastngs edged the Cats 41-39 in the con-

The Wayne State Wildcats, only tea'm to defeat the Bobcats this 5eason, will be the Bobcats' opponent tonight at 8 o'clock in the final game of the regularly scheduled basketball s~ason. Two weeks ago it looked as if this game would be the Nebraska College Conference championship game, but Wayne lost to Wesley~ an ar\,d Kearney to clinch the title for Peru and make tonight's contest just another ball game as as 'the Conference standings. are concerned. Wayne is the oniy team to stop the Bobcats. Peru was riding on a seven game win streak when they traveled to Wayne. The Wildcats bullied their way to a 53-36 victory by knocking down . the Bobcat sharpshooters when they got set to shoot. Peru has not been blanked by Wayne though. _Kyle) boys downed them 43-37the second round of the · York tournament in December. Top inan on Wayne's team is Jim Strahan, a six foot one inch forward.

.Disk Jockey Donn Dwyer Keeps Nine Selected Dorms Alert On Record Program F~r May Fete ' This

K1n9 And Queen

article is dedicated to

those with an ear for music, or just to those with ears. Since it is impossible for anyone in the Peru area to gather a snatch of sleep from the hours of 10:30 to 10:55, the editor dedded to do a story on the man who keeps the student body-and various members of the faculty awake. Jean Meister went in search of news and came back with this bit of autobiography. "Three pounds, three ounces. Eeeegad! what is it? It was ME! All my father could utter was quote, He looks just like a rat, unquote. That happy day was July 29, 1921. With the aid oL· . an electric brooder and a few injections, I began to recover from the excitment and before too long I was attending the University of Minnesota, later the MacPhail College of Minneapolis, and still later, the Geller Theatre, Hollywood. I've sla'ved over hot mikes in Duluth, Minneapolis, Fresno, Calif., Louisvil~e, Ky., and now KFNF. Sandwiched in between my radio work was: a little footwork for the Arthur Murray Studios. And, there ain't none too fat fer me!" "If you wish for something shorter than the above, you might just say that I was born to a married couple and live my life as. I see fit." Donn's picture is being pril).ted, for the report is circulating that he is no longer sending them out. Perhaps 'the power of public opinion is working against him. Dwyer was first brought to Peru's attention when he played a platter for none other than the president of the Blue Devils, Bill ·Kinman; · Other friends (?) whom he has, picked up along the way are Jack and Tom Hallstrom, Marvin Richards, Darlene Barta, Mike .Carnahan, Dorothy Maynard, and Manuel Briseno. Of late, competition has set in. Tarkio College has begun to push in requests. However, Peru feels. 'that Dwyer is. a true Peruvian. Some of the numbers played have been, "Love on a Greyhound &rs," "Turkey in the Straw," "Beer Barrel Polka,'' "Huggin' and a Chalkin'," "All that Glitters Is Not Gold," and "I'll Dance at Ycur WecLling." It would be nice if those lis~ners would get together and send in Donn's name as their favorite disk i2ckey. After all he ha:s done for them, it would be the least they could do.

Council Election Set for March .20 So things aren't going right. So there are too many wheels in power. So the students aren't pfloperly represented. So you don't like the way things are being run. So what? So tlii~: ' . ' . . ' On March 15, an election is bemg held. Thi~ election is to detemline members for the Student Council. A~· ONE can be elected.. If you have a buddy who 1ou think could bring about some constructive changes orr this ~ampus, it is your privilege-it is yo'!r duty-to see that he ~s nom· inated to the Student CounCil to represent you. All it takes are signaures of ten students and the nom!gee. .If you think things are functioning perfectly, it is your duty to re-elect the same Student Council. . . ·. Complaints are within order. But, complamts with a ,efusal. to do constructive to back them up, are not com· faints at all. They're empty words. An interest in the Student Council is an interest in the udent body. By the way, do you know who your represen· ' s to the Student Council are?

For oustanding work in scouting Mr. Clayburn has been awarded the Scout Masters Key, the national award of the Silver Beaver, and he is an honorary member of the Golden Sun. The scouts under Mr. Clayburn's . direction "have learned handicraft work and money making enterprises for the program. He has taken them to annual scout camps in Nebraska and Kansas and is responsible for the building of . the boy scout cabin north of Peru. The cabin wa~ built by the scouts with the backing of the Kiwanis. It is impossible to give the number of laborious hours of work Mr. Clayburn has spent with his scout troop. He has been a great inspiration to all the boys and men connected with him in scouting.

Three Schools To Meet In Td State Festival At College March 15 High school students from Tarkio, Mo., Sidney, Iowa, and Peru Prep will assemble in the college auditorium on Monday, March 15, for an all-day music clinic' under the direction of Mr . Quinn Lotspeich. Students from both the instrumental and vocal departments of the respective schools will be in the Tri-Sh;te Festival. The objective of this clinic is to stress the importance. of large choral and band groups working in a spirit of cooperation rather than competition. No ratings will be given; however the directors of the v.arious groups will openly criticize the performance of each entry. The choir, orchestra, madrigal, string quartet, string duet, mixed octet, violin solo, and baritone so.lo will be entered by Peru Prep.

The Varsity Follies not only a great success along the entertainment line, but was also a successfu.,l financial venture; Both' the Musi« Department :ind the Pedagogian .can make good use of the profits. We imagine the Music Department's cut from the Follies will ·go toward buying robes for the Peruvian Singers; We think you'll agree that i't's a pretty sad situation when the choir and Peruvian Singers have to borrow robes from a neighboring high school for their year book pictures. Mr. Lotspeich's department is one of the biggest draw· fog cards for the college if not the biggest, and yet they ,doo't have enough money to outfit a small group like the .Peruvian Singers,. let alone the choir. . It might be good idea to inake' the Varsity Follies an annual affair, sponsiored each year by the Pedagogian and the Musip Departwent. It is bound to be a success as long as Mr. L.otspeich and Mr. Gumbrell are around to take ch~rge. Then maybe in five or six. years the Music Depart· ment will· have enough money to buy a couple robes.. The Pedagogian would Hk'e .to have someone explain why the Music Department has to pay for i{j; two pages in t.he Peruvian whtle around sixteen or seventeen pages are ;given to the Athletic Department free of ·charge.

·Of Manslaug:

A dastardly, heinous trime has been committed at Peru state Teachers College. A male. student was found dead on the campus. The body was ·immediately taken to the morgue, and rumor has it that weird and unusual circumstances are in evidence. We now look in en ,the most famous and well known address in the world, 213% East Miecowitz, over Guggenheimer Pickle Factory, where we meet the arch enemy of all .criminals, F. H. A. Holmes. F. H. A. is listening td the radio. From the loudspeaker comes the sound Of music followed by idiotic laughter. F.H.A. tunes the dial away from KFNF. He turns to his right hand man, Darling, and says, "Turn off that radio,. Darling!" Darling .rushes to the radio, and with a great display of manual desterity, succeeds in turning tpe knob. Darling: Why were you listening to that program, F.H.A.? F.H.A.: Elementary my dear Darling. A crime has been committed at PSTC. In my own subtle way :I was searching for clues.

Transportation Problem Causes Dire Woe and Misery

Don Graham battles biggest snow in Peru's history to demonstrate for cameraman how it adds to transportation difficulties. Transportation in Peru, it seems, is divided into four categories, the bus, walking, THE TRAIN, hitchhiking. This week the .Ped decided to canvas the ' students and fin@. reaction to the set-up. "Yes, the tranS:portation system in Peru is remarkable. It's like nothing~ I've ever seen before," remarked Robert Deming. "My feet are in the best shape

ever," commented Donald Adams. "My thumb has, grown· half an inch," said Paul Charbonneau. Since the Ped was interi:sted primarily in 'discovering individuals who had made use of the transportation, and not in gathering testimonials on "How I improved my physique while at Peru," you reporter went his weary way.

Cash Prizes Offered Students In Essay Contest On Democracy Member.s of the Alumni Executive committee at a meeting Feb. 28 approved a grant of $25 to used as prize money for an essay contest on democracy which will be open to present Peru students. The_ essays submitted in the contest shoul:d deal with general topic, "Educating for Democracy~" All Peru students are eligible for the con.test which will be judged by prominent alumni. Eosays shoud not exceed 1200 words in length, but may deal with any particular aspect of education for democracy. Manuscripts. should be turned in to the faculty committbe on democracy in education of which Dr.· B. K. Baker is chairman. Other members of the committee are Mr. Rex Floyd, Dr. G. R. Floyd, Dr. Castle Brown, Mr. Clifford Harding, Mr. Arthur Gumbrell, Mr. James Frasier, and pean Otis MOTgans. Although cash prizes will be awarded, amounts of individual prizes have not yet been determined, for the committee hopes to increase the total stipend by contributions from other sources. Essays will be judged on the basis of originality of thought, forcefulness of expression · and logical organization. All manuscripts should be typewritten and copyread. The committee emphasizes that papers should not be research projects but expressions of original and individual thought.

Kyle Teaches Dancing Peruvians may not be aware of the fact,· but Newt Kyle is not only an excellent coach, he also . excells in folk dancing. He vol·• untarily took over Miss Phyllis · Davidson's 'dancing class while ahe attended tu sbme business. The Virginia· reel proved to be 1\'Ir. Kyle~s specialty.

Oratorio Scheduled For Perfmmance Here Forty voices ·of the Peru State choir under the direction of J. Quinn Lotspeich, music departn1ent head, will be heard in a presentation of Gounod's "Redemption" Tuesday, March 23, in the college audit<>rium. , "I feel this will be the m~jor event of the year as far as the music department is concerned," said Mr. Lotspeich in bis announcement of the event. 1 Tenor soloists will be Jack Hippe, James Steele, and John Sweeney. Soptano soloists will be Sara Jane Lyons and Sue Eads. Percy Schmelzer and Maynard Schliefert will be bass soloists.

Move Metal Shop The college metal shop, part of the Industrial Arts Department, will be. moved within the next few weeks, according to Mr. Lester Samples, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Present plans ·call for the new home of the metal shop to be in the T. J. Majors training school. The shop's present site will be used as a garage when the moving is accomplished. The new driver educ~tion car will be kept there. Originally the metal shop was used <JS a garage for maintenance trucks. '

one who has traveled on the bus, but to locate an individual who has come into Peru by THE TRAIN is another thing. Word reached the Ped that Bernard Bliefernigh knew such a person. When asked for information, Bliefernigh sat back in his chair, stroked his chin, and thought. After a long period of silence, he said, .. "Oh yes, I remember him. He'· was a nice little fella, kinda quiet. Somehow he got to Auburn one weekend and hadda come back on the train. He then came up to the room with that haunted look in his eyes. For the next two days, n<> one could get along with him. On the third day he jumped from the third floor of Delzell hall and was crushed to death on the side walk right in front of Harley Palmer. Harley told me about it. Sure was a. nice fella," For those :µnfortunates who have never been over route 67 to route 75, there are 19 hills. This information was 5uplied by one who has personally walked them, Harry Barrett. He swears to this-at this-to this. Je~s Crane, .Kenneth Taylor, Arthur Gilbert, and John Sweenie were digging at a huge pile of snow in front of the Hill store. "What's wrong?" "Verne Meier started to hitch hike to Auburn four days ago. We haven't seen him since., He was standing here when we went to chow Thursday night. Then the snow storm came up-and, well-this might be him."

Alumni Officers Invite '48 ·Grads To Annual Banquet At a meeting of the executive committee of the Alumni Associatios held Feb. 28, approval of a change in frequency of publication of the Alumni Bulletin from four to nine times per year was granted.

Carrol Lewis, dinner; Miss Nona Palmer, honored guests; Ralph Chatelain, enterment; Mrs. Wayne Gbod, decorations. The executive committee voted to extend invitations to all first and second semester 1948 graduates to attend the commencement dinner. They will be honored guests.

Christenson and \h/heeldon Report Kappa Delta Meeting t

Is travel educational? Ask Aileen Wheeldon and Lois Christensen; they traveled to Atlantic City, N. J., two weeks ago, to attend the Sixteenth Biennial Convention of Kappa Delta Pi. They represented Peru chapter as delegate and alternate delegate respectively. Delegates ana visitors from about 150 chapters, coming from all parts of the United States, were present at the convocation. The Peru delagates were the only student representatives from the state of Nebraska. The Kadelphians elected a new executive council, made amendments to the constiution of. the

organization, heard committee reports, and exchanged viewpoints on selection of candidates for Kapa Delta Pi; program plan· ning; initiation ceremonies; making Kappa Delta Pi significant in the college community; cordinating the work of several chapters foe Alumrt1 Chapter. They took nme out to enjoy tl~cm 0.elves at three luncheons, a formal banquet and a tea. The banquet address was given by Howard E. Wilson on "The United States National Commission, cin Experiment in Intellectual Cooperation." Poet Laureate of Canada, Wilson MacDmnald, spoke <.o tl'e c:mvention goers on ty.ro cccasions.

AJi to two ·members selecting the band, a correction should be made. Half 1of the comm;ittee was pre_sent and since the other half was absent an allow:ance was made.

The idea behind obtaining a first class band was to make the Spring Formal the outstanding dance of the year. Many formals have suffered from small attendance. Tbs spring the Men's club committee wants to put on a dance that will attract not only more Peru students, but also many. .alumni and high school sniors as well.

The first group, the Operating Lever and Lock Assembly (see list a bore) is a piece of forged molybdenum steel, machined into the form of a truncated oval, the square end of which has an elevation called the Operating Leverage Elevation, and an opening,

(the Operating Lever and Lock Assembly Retaining Lug Bolt Aperture) and the oval end containing a hole for the Retaining Cham Clup. The second group, the Stock Retaining Aperture, a Blade Assembly (see above}, is made · up of two pieces of chrome steele ( 4Yi% tin, 2% lead) both of which are similar in shape to the Operating Lever and Lock Assembly though both are slightly larger. The third and last group is the Operating Lever and Lock ' Assembly Retaining Lug Bolt which· is a 17.15 calibre bolt ~ade of case hardened steel. This bolt is of a general cylindrical shape but having a flange on one end and a notch in the other. This bolt passes through the Stock Chain-Retaining and Blade Assembly and the notch engages With the Operating Lever and Lock Assembly Catch. To use the clipper, swing the Operating Lever through an angle of 18(} this last angle being at right angles to the first angle.

LOST A.MONG THE OAKS

By Bob Thur

Open Letter to Donn Dwy Dear Donn, You have given the students at P'eru many entertaining hours. You have provided laughs and a great amount of favorable publicity. We like you and want to see you become a bigger success in the field o.f radio-but are you happy? I am deeply. concerned. You laugh a great deal, but I wonder if you are really happy. You see, a fellow can't really be happy unless he has a passing acquaintanceship with the female of the specie~and you are always asking for a date, Now the question is-are you kidding, or are you serious? I took a poll on this question and half of the students thought you were serious about asking for a date, and half thought you were just joking. The poll didn't offer a solution so I organized a committee consisting of a social wo~ker a psychologist and a beer distributor. I don't exactiy know how the distributor got in on this, but he mentioned something about the University of Minnesota. Several radio engineers demanded to be placed on the ·committee, but they appeared to be prejudiced. The committee met at night in a parked automobile in front of the girls' dorm. After many an interesting minute .spent in flashing the headlights at unsuspecting couples. the meeting began. PSYCHOLOGIST: We are assembled here to decide whether Donn Dwyer really wants to date girls. SOCIAL WORKER: Now take the case of DonaidPSYCHOLOGISII': It appears that Donn really wants a date. DISTRIBUTOR: Why? Hasn't he ever had a date?

SOC WKR: Donald was, a bl em. PSYCHO: rm sure he has ed girls, but he keeps asking more. nr.sT: What's so wrong ab that? Isn't he good looking? SOC. WKR: Donald was yo f"SYCHO: Yes, he is good lo ing, but he works: late at ni DIST: I knew a night wat man that never had any. trou dating women. In fact, he g mto a mess of troubleSOC.

WKR:-and the strange thing about it was that Donald couldn't drive. (At this point the· distributor whistled at three girls who prompty jumped into the car.

Prep Play '.Huckleberry Finn' On Deck For Wednesday Evening "Have you ever had the desire to go back to your childhood days arid enjoy the frivolities of youth for a while? If you haven't, let the Prep sesiors take you back momentarily when they present Samuel Clemens' immortal "Huckleberry Finn" next Wednesday,'' re.ports Director Jaines Steele. Huckleberry Finn (Jake S;unler) and his pal Tom Sawyer (Otto Rath) love to play pranks on anyone especially Aunt F(olly '(Charlotte Merrit) who is "so nervous." Fred Raymond (Evati Samples) is in love with Aunt Polly's sister, Ruth Watson (Pat Pryor) a situation which provides a rich source of entertainment for Huck and his pal. However they keep themselves under .constant pressure either to antagonize or avoid Mary Jane (Betty Panjiott) who is Aunt Polly's niece and Amy Wappinger (Clara Allgood) irrepressible niece of the deaconess of the church, Clara Wappinger (Janice Redfern). Subtile wit is the only thing which keeps the colored maid, Melba (Georgia Hendrickson) a jump ahead of Huck and Tom. ·· Over all confusion John Finn (Richard Ste.G'en), Huck's father, . mi.1st fc~ep a firm hold, which generally makes matters worse. ''It promises to be an .interesting play," comme11ts nk Robert D. Moore. Mr. Steele, 5tudent director of the play, is a senior from Nebraska City. He has an English major, . a speech minor and a social science minor. From grade school through college, he has acted in plays. "But not uritil now have I realized how many· problems must be faced in coaching a play," says Mr. Steele.

A giance at her roommate and dorm neighbors will testify as to her generosity, for her wardrobe seems adaptable to so many sizes that several articles of apparel may appear with her friends' costumes on the same day. As a future member of the student council, Betty will be easy to approach with current gripes. Her "uncommon" common sense makes her advice worth following, but she thoughtfully withholds it until it is sought. A minister's daughter must have some st~ange traits after all.

FRIDAY, APRIL 16,. LOST AMONG THE 10AKS

Tips to the Grooms-to-b Jn the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns tQ thoughts of love. This feeling is limited to young men be cause young men are only susceptible in the spring -women think about love all of the time. Since many couples on the campus are planning marriage soon. I have taken it upon myse~f to acquaint . tpese couples with some of the·,more technical aspects of the mariage ceremony. BLOOD TEST.: This is a plot of the women to . weaken the me~. There are othe~ less important reasons which can be explained by Physiology and Hygiene profs or man-to-man talks with fathers. LICENSE: This is the next step after weakening the man. The groom-to-be can cause a stir at this point by announcing that he is only fifteen years old. The girl will probably produce the future groom'.s. birth certificate proving that he is of age, so it is best just to buy the license. The man .is sunk by this time anyhow. MINISTER: 'The couple visit the minister to arrange the details of the ceremony. I don't know why the future groom goes along because the bride-to-be does most of the talking. The ceremony can take' place anywhere ... in the church, in the parsonage, in the home, in the yard, or just any darn place. Here, again, the male is doomed. If there were only some place where marriages could not be performed, things might be defferent. BEST MAN: A friend of the groom. This is a very good test of true friendship. If you can find a fellow to stand· up with you at this crucial time, you can feel sure that he will do anything on earth for you. The best roan should be a stalwart fellow. He must be able to withstand the onslaught of brides maids little sisters, cousins, and old ' maid aunts, all friends of the bride who has brought them together for the si;;ecific purpose of catching a man. MAID OF HONOR: The bride's best friend. 999 times out of 1000 she is engaged. This is another plot of the women, because the maid of honor will drag her

Overcrowding New Registration Plans To Make Eliminated By Standing In Line Unnecessary -. system ew N Registrar L. B. Mathews, in urging all students who plan to attend summer session to register early, called attention to previous disbalances in speech and English classes. Last semester it was necessary to change approximately 50 programs after the 'beginning .of the semester. By limiting classes through the procedure of handing out class ad:m:lttance cards, this disbalance will be avoided in the future. Students who wish to be sure of getting a program entirely satisfactory must register .early. Otherwise they will be likely to find classes they desire closed. Registration for the post session beginning July 30 may be completed May 31. A maximum load of nine hours is permitted for the regular session and a maximum load of three hours for the post session. Programs may be changed during the first week of the regular session with the appro'v~l of the adviser.

Pre-registration for summer session at Peru will commence today as students m~t with advisors to fill out complete' sets of ca_rds and ~heck with min~r ~ ubject advisors to determine that mmor requirements are bemg fUlfilled. The second step in the registration process will be different from previous wocedure, according to Registrar L. B. Mathews. Class admissison cards will be secured at a station in the hallway next to room 304. Since some classes are being limited, -only a limited number of cards for those classes will be available.

After Dark in the Incinetator Steve Bell leaned across the booth in the Bobinn and whispered to John1 Lester, ,''There's dirty work afodt." David Graham i·aised his head over the partition and asked, "How do you know?" "Harley Palmer said so," replied Bell. The Ped reporter and photo. grapher charged up to the third floor in search of Mr. Palmer. A quick glance inside the incinerator revealed Bill Saul and Lyle Johnson engaged in developing pictures. Reacting joyfully to the intrusion, they seized the pihotogi;.apher and threw him down the shaft. (Ed. note-the Ped is in the market for some intrepid camera enthusiast to act as photographer for the remainder of the year.) The second floor incinerator

revealed Lyle Meier and Bill Ottersburg diligently at work; with their mushroom culture. ''We'll have our first crop next week," was Bill's promise. A glance at the first floor incinerator at first revealed nothing. Upon closer inspecion, the darkness gave up its secret. Rob~ ert Eilers was suspended by his toes in the shaft. In reply to a request for the reason, he stated "That little white spot half way down is my tomorrow's trig assignment." ·(·:.

Sandin Visits Peru Campus, Reminisces In a rcent interview with James O. Sandin it was disclosed that the district music contest, held in Auburn, APril 16 and 17, proved to be a major encounter for the music students of Plymouth high school. As instructor Sandin said, "My music students will not set the world on fire with high marks this year, but I have high hopes for next year." After questioning Mr. Sandin concerning his coming to Peru, it was difficult to ascertain the main reason, but it was implied that trying to keep some fifty students under hand was proving to be too much of an ordeal. With that in mind, Mr. Sandin decided that he should return to the quiet halls of PSTC to recoup his torn nerves.

Turtle Turns Up At Blue Devil Picnic An outdoor Bar-B-Q was the feature event of the Blue Devil picnic April 20. Approximately 250 weiners, several cases of rnke and two or three quarts of mustard were consumed by the 30 i;.eople present. Al Linder, Bill Vossen, and Bob McCam risked falling in the creek to drag out a large turtle. This prize now resides in Linder's footlocker.

Poll Indicates Students· Would Like Course On Pinball By Bob Boesel The end of the year is drawing nigh .and the editor of the Ped is in the mood to do something constructive-for a change. He directed that a poll be conducted among the students and the results indicated. The question was, "What new subjects would you like to have added to the curriculum?" The best place to come in contact with the people is the Boblnn; so, the Ped's reporter and photographer hied themselves off to it. There they located a very elite group · seated in a booth, which was very logical, for there was no place else to ~it. By some strange coincidence, this was the same group which was earlier in the year photographed by a Peruvian photographer. To complicate matters even further, they were seated in the same position. Boyd L i n d e r gave much thought to the matter and answered "I think the most practical wo~ld be a course in the fundamentals of operating a pjnball machine, including four hour labs. In fact, it should be given as orientation." Maurice Richards flicked his eyelid quickly and murmurred, "Without a d<'.lubt, there should be one titled 'dalliance 102;' Pre-

ferably this should be a lab course. The labs could be arranged to suit the convenience of

the i;upils." This remark brought a retort from June Suhr. She glared at

Ryan whipped back with this: "Distillation 405 is a very practical course for everyone." Several eyes widened and RYan hastened to add, "It's water distillation I'm referring to, of course. Why, every time I wash my head I have the hardest time." Marilyn Granzer commented, "I think 'Pinball 101' should have some good instructors, perhaps Mr. Sweetland, Dr. Floyd, or Mr. Moore." "And for lab assistants," added Fred Thomas, "we. should have Rita Hayworth and Llzabeth Scott."

The Kearney Antelopes are heavy favorites to win the Nebraska College Conference track meet at Lincoln in. ;May. Kearney copped tb.e title last year with a narrow squeeze by Chadron and Peru at Kearney. Kearney lost one meet this year to a very strong Fort Hays aggregation. The Antelopes have smashed York and Creighton '.!n dual. rrie·ets. Kearney is strong in every event except the two mile run and the pole vault. ,Among its top performers are: Hauver", Quillen, anc;I Stroud1 in the dashes; Sohrweid, mile; Foster and Martin, hurdles; Marrow and Leis, shot. put and diS!;us; Mannington, Gallagher, and ·Korte, dis~s; Walker and Baci;rn, broad jump; and Simanek, Nye, Powers and Orth, high jump.

Butler's 10 second 100 yard dash is the fastest registered by NCC sprinters so far this seanson. Peru's strength is in the dis• tances but the Bobcats will have a tough struggle trying to outscore Doane. Loss of freshmen Norman Lavigne, the State's top hurdler, this year along with Jirri Mc:tther\ and Orv Yocum ruined Peru's chances of upsetting Kearney. We are sorry that Punchy Linder had to drop track. Unc;loubtedly many people will agr~e that lt was the best thing for him. He deserves a pat on the back for his determination .
