Moore Announces ''Cuckoos on 373 Students the Hearth" Is Homecoming Play Convocation Notes

"Cuckoos on the Hearth," a three act mystery farce, has been chosen by the Dramatics department to be presented Saturday evening at Homecoming . festivities October 15. The action of the play takes place in the New England home of Charlotte and Don Carlton, who operate a summer resort, named Harmony Hearth.

The play has the unique feature of having two plots. One of these plo~s is the version of an egotistical writer, Zadoc Grimes, which compldely misreprecents what actually happened that winter night in Harmony Hearth: The second shows what really happened. When you see the play you will meet people who pretend to be one thing but actually have a completely different. personality. To say more of what actually happenes would risk revealing too much of the play, that can be better appreciated by attendance on the night of the performance. Some of the students in the

cast of the play are quite well known, having appeared in previous plays, however a majority of the roles have been captured by freshmen. Upper-classmen, most of them "old timers" of Peru dramatics, in the cast are: Phil Slagle of Falls City, will be seen as a bearded professor of hYPnotism. Zadoc, the egotistical writer, will

Activities Commjjtee Holds Watermelon Feed A cool evening and ice cold watermelons were the treat of sti;dents a\tending the watermelon round-up, Sep',ember 15, at 3:00 p.m. The party was sponsored by the campus activities committee with Mr. Christ as chairman. Knife wielders were Dr. Bond, Mr. Christ, Otto Rath, Bern Taylor, and Don Yokum, who anxiously tried to devise a method by which some twenty odd melons could be cut to feed the entire student body. As it turned out, however, there were enough melons for seconds. A few stu~ dents without pride even came back for third helpings. A large group of the student body and a few faculty members attended the get-together. In the course of the evening, the footbal team gave its first public exhibition. After the scrimmage, the hungry players devoured the remaining melons. Cheer leader tryouts were postponed because of the chilling weather.

NUMBER 1.

Enroll for First Semester A total of 373 students has registered for work at PSTC according to the latest count. This increasE' over last year's total of 3JO is more impressive than it might seem because \he number of GI's has dropped off sharply, Last year's enrollment showed 128 veterans in school, but this year the total has dropped to 99. The freshman class is the largest with 84 men and 60 women. Second in size is the sophomore . class with 56 mPn ancl 38 women. In the junior class there are 63 men and 12 women, and in the senior class there aff' 46 men and 8 women. Three po:;t graduates bring the to~nl io 37·0i including 251 men and 119 women. The proportion of men to v\·omen is almost exactly the same as it was last year. Besides Nebraska residents who make up the bulk of the student body, there are 53 students from out of state. The greatest number come from Iowa, with a total of 25. Illinois has the sec.end largest number, seven. South Dakota and Kansas each have four students; Ohio has three. California two, and Arizonia, Fio-rida, Indiana, Texas and Al;i.ska are each represented by one student. This year there are two sets of twins in school, Jean and Janice Krueger from Dawson, and Doug and Dave Brenner from Falls City. There are four. ministers taking work here this semester, Frank Bobbitt of the Peru Christian Church, Glenn Emmert of the Peru Baptist Church. M. L. Nelms of the Humboldt Holiness Church, and John Reger of the St<ill'a Community Church.

Dr. Nicholas Writes It is always a distinct pleasure and privilege to be asked to be gi:est editor for our college paper. It is especially .a pleasure this year. T~e reason that we are happy concerning school this year, is that we are particularly pleased with the student h_o<ly. The student body appears to have grasped the signi· ~1cance of :what it means to attend college. Its attitudes, 1deas, and ideals seem. to be on a very high level. May we encourage each of you to be slightly selfish this yea;,, that is self[sh enough to take advan_tage of all oppor· tun1t1es. You must then also remember that, "He profits most who serves the best." :1' ou wi~I b~ pleased to know that the Peru College !acul~y has ~n mmd stressing the development of the whole 1nd1v1dual (mtellectual, imaginative, moral), the whole field ·of k::iowledge (scientific and cultural), and the social wholes .\the various communities of which each is a member). This does not mean t~at the faculty is attempting universal development or umversal knowledge. It does mean that it is resolved to re-orient i~s. teachings to stress the interdepen· ?en~e ?f knowledge, the mutual determination of ideas in mst1tut10n and the intellectual in contrast to the technical. It. means the special recognition of the needs of the individual. fhis involves a new selection of material and new kind of presentation in many courses. You as students may look forward to better instructions: .on the part of your teachers. -W. L. Nicholas

New Faculty Members Are Appointed Grapes of Rath By Otto Rath Dear Joe, Well, I got here Sunday on a bus that the guys behind me called the Ma.tterhorn Special. We only had to get out twice to help push it up the hills. All during the trip the boys behind me kept yelling "Zitz." I finally asked them what they meant and all they said was "Zitz still." Monday the teachers gave. us a lot of tests. Sure is funny why they want to have us tell them how little we know. But I fooled them. I. marked all the little square on the answer sheet so I'd be sure of marking the right answer. You just can't fight an education, Joe. But Wednesday was the day! I got in a line and before I got out, they took over a hundred dollars away from me. I wanted to shoot craps to get it back but they wouldn't let me. They sent me to the library. Here they gave me ten books. I guess that's what you call a student load cause I almost broke my back lugging them to the dorm. I put one under a short leg of the table and it sure is an improvement. Then yesterday I got in another line. Turned out to be girls Phys. Ed. Boy, were their faces red. Say, some smart guy a"ked me what my major was. I told him I never was in the service. One of my teachers gave us fifteen pages to read for Friday. What does he think we came to college for . . . . an educ8tion? 1\.~v rcommate is kinda funny. Yesterday he asked me if I bad heard about the two maggots that were mald'1g love in dead Ernest. I don't get it Joe, but I laughed anywav to humor the guy. I have to live with him, you know. Are you still digging at the ditch on project 34? It must be plenty deep by now. After the first test don't be surprised to see me back on the job. Today an upper classman told me there was supposed to be a watermelon feed in the Oak Bowl. He must have been funny cause the biggest bowl I ever saw was a soup bowl. Then to top it all off, he said they play football games and run races in it. He must have been studying too hard. I saw that his glasses were bent too. Say Joe, the fellows are sure happy here. Especial when they come home from mission X. They laugh and sing. Someday I'm goi?g to find out .;vhat mission XIS.

•'

There are girls here too. The one that sits next to me in Government class is a cute little thing. Do you think she'd' think me forward if I said "Hi" to her? On one end of town is a big hill. They call it Cemetery Hill. I h~ard some guys talking about the wonderful times they had up there so I decided to go up too . It sure was a long climb, Joe. When I got to the top, all I could find were graves and stones and .the only thing I got

was a cold. I hear someone coming, Joe.

Have you ever been in a crowd of people and wondere:l who that pretty blonce might be next to you? Well if you have, then you, know how the freshme'.l have felt when they first arrived on the Peru campus and saw for the first time some of their fcllow students. 'l'he perplexity of . being unknown and not knowing anyone was taken care of durhg the freshman partv helJ. September 5, in Delzell Hall. It was t:-e purpose of this party to get the new

by Sophomores memb€rS of the Peru family to relax and fell at home. Under the direciion of the sophomore class such ice breakir" games as a necktie tying relay and passing an orange from person to person without the aid of tre hands. The peak of the evening's fun was a Cinderella and Prince Charming game that gave \he gui·r and gals a chance to grt their partners for refreshments and the first da".?ce of the evening. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing.

If it's an upper classma'l he'll make me shine his shoes for sure, so maybe I better hide. Goodbye now. Your nal, Willie

Don, leaving for an important business trip to Washington, leaves Charlotte and Lulu alone. Then a boarder arrives, (Only six months late) and the conclusion drawn there is that,he, too, is a little off. However Zadoc, the roomer, is an author and he dei:ides to write a book about Harmony Hearth. Three men then arrive and gainst her better judgement, Charlotte lets them in; a doctor, assistant to the professor; the professor who has a German accent and a minister who ii; always quoting the gospel. On top of this a· neighbor lady who is a telephone repair lady, a strange lady doctor who recites poetry and a state trouper add greatly to the confusion and hilarity of the play. The play has a brief prelude and interlude which clears UI> matters-this being done by a neighbor lady with the name of Abbie. R.cuert E. Moore is directing the play. Pat Benford is assistant din.ctor, and Marian Pratt, business manager. Tne stage crew includes the stage ma11ager, Don Graham; carpenter, Buri Casler; electrician,.

the Midland football game. Activtity got underway by gathering the game followers on / the steps of the women's dormitory. From there the lively throng moved to Delzell Hall where several yels were given as . a warm up for the down town exhibl.t1"on that followed. After completing the yells, the group joined hands and made a tour of the boys' dorm to attract more supporters. The aggregation met on the north side of the dorm and were led by the cheer leaders and torch bearers down the hill. Moving down town the rally was joined. by the band. In the middle of the main street a huge pile of baxes and timber was ignited with the students fanning a semi-circle arol.llld it. As the fire gained momentum, a plea was made for Luke Laue, captain for the Midland game, but he was not present so, LaVern Poppe was called upon for a few words as a team representative. With the singing of the Color Song, the rally ·formed a snake dance that wound the entire length of the town and even in and out of the Peru Theatre. 4fter returning to the campus a dance was held in the Music Hall with music Iun:iished by records.

Blue Devils Choose Pledges

Barbara Griffing-one of the violators

The Honorable Judge Lavern Poppe called his Kangaroo Court to order Tuesday, September 27,, to try and to judge violators of the freshman initiation rules. He was ably assisted by an unbiased jury made 1·up of Trudy Toggweiler, Joan Adams, Charlotte Meritt, Ken Taylor, Don Anderson, and "Goon" Metzger. M 11 n y j u st decisions were handed down by Judge Poppe for offenses, ranging from no signs, to insubordination to upperclassmen. By odd coincidence all defendents tried were found guilty. A few of the sentences read by His Honor were: Garrison is to observe National Sweater week. Pat Richardson and Gayle Eckman are to clean the Ad Building steps with a tooth brush for three days. Barb Griffing is wearing a burlap dress and a paper sack over her head.

NUMBER 2

Dick Joneson is to stay at least a brooms length away from all girls. Betty Radmacker will serenade upperclassmen on the clarinet each noon from 12:30 to 1:00 in front of the Ad Building. Nancy Hardy and Corrine Wiles have been sitting on the floor while eating dinner. Peg Genoe, Rachel Paap, and Francis Hein were reques~d to fish for goldfish in the pond outside of the Ad Building. It may be said that one fish besides a freshman was caught. Augie Thomas and Eloge have been wearing their pants wrong side out. Skirts!, oh those flimsy shirts! has been the theme song of Brodston, Clayburn, Bearce, and Garrison. All offenders were requested to wear sliced onions on a string around their neck and report to the upperclassmen to whom they were assigned.

Twelve men were accepted as pledges into the Blue Devils during the regular meeting on September 26. Each semester pledges are taken in to serve a probationary period of nine weeks. After satisfactory completion of this period they become full fledged members. Those accepted as pledges were: Don Hoberg, Russ Ruth, Jim Walz, Wilbur Scheitel, Jack Brawner, Otto Rath, Don Bornschlegl, Lavern Poppe, Lyle Meier, LeRoy Wilson, Gale Eshelman, and Ken Sanford.

Freshmen Plan Dancing Class The Freshman Class held a meeting in the college auditorium on the morning of September 29. Plans were made to hold a weekly dancing Class for freshman boys and girls in the Music Hall every Thursday evening from 6:30 to 7:30. Miss Palmer will be in charge of the dancing class. All freshmen should take advantage of these dancing sessions. The time to learn is now.

Gym Work in:

Final Stages The remodeling of the GYm iS practically complete according to Mr. Samples, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Remodeling was begun in the spring o:f 1948 with the addition of 4D extra feet of floor space on the south end of the building. Other things done to the Gym was the addition of a new roof new heating system, that was put into service this week, new offices for the directors of physical training on the campus. The battlements in front of the building were lowered 39 feet and the ceiling of the Gym was lowered 20 feet. The locker rooms have received 180 new lockers and new fold-away bleachers will be added as soon as possible to the new section of the basketball co~rt providing an increase Of 300 to the present seating capacity of the Gym. The Gym has received a completely new floor with the following courts marked out on the floor in different colored stripe5: three basketball courts three volley-ball courts and four badminten ·courts. It is expected that the floor will be used by the general college student body for the first time at Homecoming, October 15. First built in 1904-1906 the Gym was intended to be a combination Gym and Chapel with the Chapel occupying the space now held by the basketball courts. The building was 84 feet wide and llO feet long anc1 had a seating capacity of 1600. At the time of construction the Gym and Chapel was considered the most modern and best equipped in the state. The summer of 1922 saw th.e addition of a swimming pool in the Gym and the end of the chapel as such in the Gym building, That was the last work done to the Gym itself until just recently, however, a retaining wall was built at the north west cOJJ.. ner of the Gym to prevent ~ caving away of the bank in 1924. A great deal of credit is due to Mr. George DeVore, custodian of the Gym, for the splendid care and upkeep of the G:rin floor and locker rooml!'.

No set of studer.ts has ever gone through this institution without feeling that, if they were in the positions of the powers that be, they could do a much better job of most everything from arranging the courses to selecting convocation speakers. They gripe and they threaten (among themselves) to strike or picket or secede from school or punt:h, somebody in the nose. Seldom do they do anything more drastic than gripe or demand\ that the Ped run a hot editorial which it never does. Probably some consider the Ped spineless or worse because it refuses to take a stand on campus issues. The Ped is not a crusading paper for several reasons. First: crusading journalism seldom accomplishes more than make the object of the crusade sore and more determined than ever to stand by his decision. Secondly, each new crop of students arrives to find the same.set of conditions intolerable, not realizing that the situation !le is complaining about has been dealt with long before ancl what is being done is probably the fairest, and the most practicable solu'.ilm possible. Thirdly, machinery already exists for the correction of iniquities-machinery which students seldom think of using. The student council was organized to carry student complaints to the administration. The student with a gripe may; appear personally before the council with his problem or he may drop his complaint or suggestion in the suggestion. box located just inside the AdministraJion Building front door. Since the box seldom contains anything, it appears that everybody must be happy. Seven out of eleven students buestionec'J had seen the bax; three knew what it was for, and the rest not only didn't know what it was for but hadn't even noticed it. Perhaps it would help the situation if some sort of label ."1ere put on the little box so more students would know what the thing is there for.

of Rath

By O'tto Rath As Willie Shine-a-boot was walking briskly to the library, his sign blowing gaily in the wind, the only thoughts in his mind were how he could evade the tormenting upper-classmen. He was so pre-occupied with these thoughts that he did not notice the figures of three healthy looking girls walking abreast on the narrow sidewalk. These girls apparently considered it a man's duty toward woman to step off the sidewalk to let her pass. When Willie became aware of the dan1<er, he tried desperately to dodge. It was of no. avail. The --deafening impact came. Legs, feet, pain-and then enveloping darkness resulted. Later, as Willie picked hims_elf up, he turned 'around to cur~e the girls but since no one was m sight, he wearily gathered his books and papers which were strewn all over the thousand oaks and limped to the infirmary Willie suddenly realized that chivalry must be dead. Yes, Willie was a victim of circumstances, of disillusionment. His mother hadn't told him. Chivalry was started way back when by Teutonic tribes who, after they had been dragging their women by their hair for centuries, developed a lofty devotion~for the female sex. And later, when all men were kni~hts, a situation arose that whenever a woman coughed, a man would sneeze. Man became vassal, page, bodyguard, servant and even mere plaything for woman. ·Today however, the situation has again changed. Man performs

onlv a few minor services for wo;:r;an. These trivialties include such things as opening and closing doors, furnishing the money on a date, carrying books and coats, buying fur coats, diamond rings, convertibles, etc., e'.c. But most women of today recognize man as indispensable and respect him as an indivdual. A few women. similar to the ones that bumped into William, believe ~hit men should always subside. W,hen speaking of chivalry, speak ·with a reverence of the dead, for sm~ely it is in the state of rigor mortis. Since modern science bas conclusively proved tbat women are the stronger sex, and because of the longer life expec1ancy of a female, it seems plausible to dedDct that chivalry should be revived but that . this time man should be on the receiving side; Women should make life pleasant and comfortable for man so that he can live out bis short life in comfort. This does not necessarily mean that women become bread-winners, but means that man should have his place under the sun as well as on narrow sidewalk.

Doane Aerials ~Stop Peru 26-0 The game was only a few min- , utes old when Kasparek, the Tiger field general, pitched to Rice for 431 yards and 6 points. The rest of the quarter saw both clubs play both good offensive and defensive ball. In the second period, Peru started a 71 yard march wit}Q Jack Tillman passing to Brawner for 50 yards to the Doane 21 yard line. ·LaVern Poppe and "Red" Wilson carried to the Tiger one, and on the next play, unfortunately, Dean Thiesfeld fumbled and Doane took over. After an exchange of punts, Doane marched 65 yards to score on a unique pass play with Kasparek pitching out to Rice, who passed to Valenta. Valenta lateralkd to Kasparek who skirted end for 13 yards to give Doane a 12-0 lead as the half ended. In the first period Valenta took a strike from Kasparek for 13 yards into the end zone to score. Kasparek booted the extra point and Doane led 19-0. A few minutes later Rose passed to Provorse for another six pointer. Again Kasparek's kick was good, and this was all of the scoring. The final score does not mean that Peru was trampled. The Bobcats played a hard-fought '!ame but due to the injury jinx were unable to cope with the Tigers. Tho.se who were injured were Jack Brawner, broken 'Nrist; Glen Eis, broken foot; Dick Joneson, cracked ribs. Game Captain "Red" Wilson, Poppe, Walden, Tillman, Gaus man, all looked good for the Wheelermen in the backfield, while Langley, Eis, Briseno, and Brawner were the standouts in the line.

It was a wonderful evening for football. both for the plover~ and the spectators. Midland! received the opening kick off and after a series of bad punts and penalties against Peru, elected to kick again and the ball was taken by Peru on their own 20 yard line. On the very first play, Cal Walden quick kicked and caught the Warrior's defense napping, and the ball bounded to the 10 yard line.

Mrs: Mathews Has New Inspiration By Otto Rath "I have you at iast, after all these long months of waiting and wondering," cried Mrs. Mathews, health instructor, as she tenderly put her arm around his neck. She lovingly stroked his scalp and added with determination, "No one is going to take you away from me-ever." Just then she heard footsteps in the hall. "Oh, Oh, it's my husband," She exclaimed and hurriedly put him away.

The latest light in Mrs. Mathews eyes is caused by her new torso. By the way, this torso is .a model of a human trunk. But it is by no means an ordinary torso-it's the latest thing, a streamlined 1950 model. It is painted in lifelike colors and is life size. The torso is complete with such details as blood vessels, nerves, glands, muscles, bones, and facial features, all colored by hand. It can be completely dismantled to demonstrate the heart, the lungs, tlfe stomach, one kidney, the brain, the intestines, and the nerves. This sexless torso can "make that little movement in the sacro illiac" since its vertabrae are mounted in sponge rubber and can be removed for examnination. But the torso is incomplete in one respect. It ~l lacks a name. Any student on the campus is eligible to name the torso. Any name except· "Oscar" will be considered.

Students having taken Health Education before will probably remember the noseless al)d partly paintless torso that looks as though it had been through all the Indian Wars. Mr. Cadaver, as that torso is named, will become the property of the physical education department. The new nameless torso inhabits a big black box in the rear of the health classroom. The submission of a fitting name will entitle a student to one peek at

The faculty reception was held at 12:30 in the afternoon at Delzell Hall, while the Alumni banquet started at 5:30 in the training school auditorium. The alumni business meeting \vas held ih the morning. In the ·absence of the outgoing president, Dean Quelle was introduced and gave the address. This year the balloting was conducted by mail.

The half time intermission began with a pageantry of youth presented by the music department. Bands from Auburn, Falls City, Nemaha and Plymouth participated along with the college band. Under the direction of J. Quinn Lotspeich they formed the word "youth" underscored by a crown. Opal Reehle, the Homecoming queen, was presented with her 'attendants, Marion Pratt and Jean Lloyd. The queen was crowned by the football co-captains. Buzz Campbell and Frank Masek. A three act mystery farce, "Cuckoos in the Hearth," was enacted by the Peru Dramatic Club, beginning at 7 o'clock in the college auditorium.

An estimated crowd of five hundred people attended the Dramatic Club production, 'Cuckoos on the Hearth." under the direction of R. D. Moore. The play was held! in the college auditorium at seven o'clock Saturday evening. Excellent performances were turned in by Truman Lytle who played the part of Zadoc Grimes, the author of various murder mysteries and slightly eccentric. Pat Benford, cast as Lulu Pung, displayed outstanding acting ability in portraying the cousin who wanted: to do nothing but do the. Hula-Hula. Paul Parker displayed his ability to interpret his role as Doc Farris, a shady character from Brooklyn. All members of the cast, including Phil Slagle, Barbara Johnson, Eddie Hanna, Shirley Morse, Wayne Benson, Ronald Kucera, Marian Pratt, and Jo Anne Roberts, were also indispensable in making the play a hit. Credit should: be given the production staff who did their part to put the play over and make it one of the best Peru has seen.

612 Persons Given x. Rays The X-Ray Mobile Unit from the State Department of lj:ealth v"as in Peru on Friday, Monday and Tuesday, October 7, 10, and 11. The X-ray unit was operated by Fred Kasinski and Richard Frrnch.

Reception for Alumni Planned for Oct. 27-28 Recept:on will be held for Peru Alumni during the Teach~ ers Convention October 27 and 28. 'on Thursday, October 27 the reception will be held at the Rote( Cornhusker in Lincoln. On Friday, October 28, a similar reception will be held at the Hotel iFontenelle in Omaha.

The industrial arts fraternity, Epsilon Pi Tau, built a "ring the bell" exhib'.t. A Peru player swung a mallet and lighted a ser'.es of lights and the bell at the top rang. An eagle head at the top represented Chadron. Alpha Mu Omega, the math fraternity, had a series of signs along the walk leading to the boys' dorm. These were constructed like Burma Shave signs, stating that the Bobcats like Eagle meat.

Bands in Youth Pageant

The Home Economics Club's contribution was a Peru player beating some Eagles in a mixing bowl. On the side of the bowl was a formula on how to beat Chadron. The White Angels built a pen which they stocked with chickens. The' inscription read "We're laying for you, Chadron." Latest reports are that two eggs were seen in the pen. Two ghosts bending over a prostrate Chadron player were also White Angel contributions. The idea represented was that Chadron didn't have a ghost of a chance. The Music Club constructed a singer and the lvrics "Bop Chadron." Mount V~rno~ Hall depicted a <graveyard. Other conhibutions were from the Science Building, Sigma Tau Delta, the Y.M.C.A. and Delzell Hall, The plaque was presented tO Bob Finkle, president of the Blue Devils, by Jim Finkle, president of the Student Council, at the homecoming dance. The contest, sponsored by the student council, was open to all organizations on the campus.

Alpha Mu Omega Initiates Pledges Alpha Mu Omega had its regular meeting at the Music Hall October 6. The purpose of th~ meeting was for the initiation of the new pledges. The new pledges were as follows: Jack Hallstrom, Donald Gress, Kenneth Hutton, iF'rank Masek, Bob Resz, Ralph Walker and James Conn. Frank Masek was awarded1 the 1949 freshman math pin; The pin is awarded to the most outsfand~ng freshman who passes these requiremfots: outstanding in math, planning to continue in math, and intending to receive a degree from Peru.

Above the five high school bands and the college band form the word "youth" underscored by a crown at the Homecoming game.

Tlie appointment of the Noverr;ber committee was Hobart Duerfeldt, James Conn, Kenneth Taylor and Ralph Walker, with Hobart Duerfeldt as chairman. Refreshments were served' in the faculty room in Delzell Hall.

NUMBER 3

Opal Re,ehle Reigns at '49 Homecoming In an impressh·e half-time ceremony of the Peru-Chadrnn football game, Opal Reehlc was crowned Queen of Homecoming by foe game captains, Richarcl Campbell and Frank Masek. Attendants to the queen were Jean Lloyd of Plattsmouth and Marian Pratt of Elmwood. Fiw marching bands from Falls C"ity, Auburn, Plymouth, Nemaha and Peru were present. The bands formed the worol. "youth" and started: the royal:: procession by playing the march. "Youth of America." All eyes were trned toward the northeast corner of the stadium as the qceen and her attend-· ants\entered in a gaily decoratedl convertible, driven by Harry Knople. Richard Campbell adnrned the queen with a crown of roses, and both captains sealed the presentation with the traditional kiss. The queen and her attendants were then assisted to the royal box, to reign over the Homecoming activities of the day. Queen Opal Reehle, fr o m Weeping Water, wore a chic black suit. Her bouquet was of red roses.The queen's attendants, Jean Lloyd and Marian Pratt, also were dressed in suits. ·

Phyl Rogers Joins Cheer Leading Staff Phyllis Rogers, sophomore, was elected by popular vote Friday, October 14, at the Freshman convocation as the additional cheer leader. It was decided at the last student council meeting to select another cheerleader. Only two candidates volunteered to try out out for the position. They were Phyllis Rogers and Carlene Cox.

Ginks Think Oinks Stink By Barbara Johnson The littie green beanies, that so vividly mark a freshman of Peru State Teachers College, are earning quite a name for themselves. Worn in a most rediculus fashion on the frontal part of the skull, the greenies are the center of much discussion. Upon conducting a poll, most freshies agreed that they thought the color was pretty, but a little hard to match with the rest of their dress. The girls said they thought the hats helped some to hide their true appearance, since they had to wear their hair up in curlers. A few were altogether disgusted with them and said the only thing they helped them to do was to get exercise, since the wind semed to be constant]Jc blowing them off their heads .. They all agreed 100 per cent that they would be glad when they' were no longer required to wear them. One girl commentedr that if we lost the game with Chadron, which is possible but not probable, and she had to wear that beanie all semester, well!! .. There are just some things that we can't print in this paper.

Do You Have Polio? Do you haye a headache, a slight fever, and a sore throat? Are you bothered with diarrhea or constipation? Do you have jabbing pains in your upper abdominal region? Have you lost your appetite? Do you feel listless and irritable? Does your face :flush at the slightest exertion. Do you tire easily? (This is no commercial for Dr. Smarter's little Liverpools.) Just read these symptoms over again andi if you try you can develop them. It's really very easy. All you have to dio is use your imagination. And when you have developed them, you could rush over to the infirmary. It doesn't matter to you if it is dinner time or late at night. You've got polio-or think you do. If however, you really have these symptoms, there is one chance in 10,000 that you have contacted the disease. In a :region where an epidemic has broken out, there is one chance in 1,000, 'l'rue, we have had two cases out of 400 people on our campus· and Jrom a standpoint of statistics, that is more than our share ;i.lready. ·There is a greater possibility of being in a car smash-up, of having pneumonia, or of breaking a leg than there is of contact'wg infantile paralysis. But we still grow panicy when we hear of polio cases. We pray to be exempted from tlie touch of the dread\!!Gi .crippler and killer.

Actually, out of almost every hundred individuals that have contacted the disease, 50 will recover completeiy; 25 to 30 · wil'll show slight after effects which will not hinder them in leading'. a normal life; 15-20 will be seriously crippled; and 5-10 may die. Here again, in the actual cases, the recovery per cait is very large. Although the odds for contacting the disease are small, we still should take precautions to help ward off the virus causing polio. These precautions include such factors as keeping away from crowds and crowded. places, paying strict attention to personal hygiene, keeping flies away from food, and avoiding sudden temjPerature changes as well as overtiring and extreme fatigue. .If we follow these rules, thoroughly understand the disease, and report lingering symptoms to the nurse at a suitable time, there is no reason to become hyst~ical and emotionally upset ca~!J. time we hear the name "polio" mentioned.

of Rath

By ,,ow, activity on the campus has quieteo1 down to the usual roar. Especially in Vi;tville, the cradle of Peru's 1960-1970 enrollment, the yells and screams are a non-union 24 hour day. The poulation in Vetville seems to .be increasing s,teadily. It seems as though children have become so expensive that only the poor can afford them. Vetville is also full of ingenious people. [For example, in one of the apartments, Al Umstead works till the wee hours of the morning perfecting a new invention-a baby phonograph. It's an automatic changer.

May I Have This Next Dance?

It was decided that due to the Teachers Convention, the next meeting would be November 2.,1 and that a circular will be prepared explaining the purpose of the Newman for the benefit of those who might be interested in joining.

Foreign Language

By Barbara Johnson Modern. dancing is more than the shuffling of feet around a floor. If you will only stop singing those off-toned lyrics in your partner's ear the next time you go to a dance you'll see what I mean. I don't mean to be an eavesdropper, but the other night ot the dance I heard some choice remarks. It doesn't have to be any special dance or any special occasion. Just any time a couple starts dancing.

The Foreign· Language Club will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, October 31, in the Music ·Hall at 8:00 p. m. The German group will be in charge of the program. A movie of Germany will be shown. Students Bernie Taylor, Evelyn Boseck and MarIan Downey will present the playlets, "Am Telephon" and "Tm Omnibll." "Till Eulenspiegel als Schuhmacher" will be presented by Jacob Samler ancJJ Otto Rath. A few German songs wiUbe sung by the group. After the business meeting, refreshments will be served by the group in charge.

Junior Class At its first regular meeting last September 20, the. Junior Class, sponsored by Mr. Clayborn, elected the following officers: DeVan Hershey, president; Robert Eilers, vice president; and .Jacke Cole, secretary-treasurer. After the election preliminary plans were discussed for a party to entertain the Seniors next spring.

Sophomore Class Jim Waltz was elected president by the sophomore class. Russel Ruth was chosen vice president and Bob Roberts, secTetary-treasurer by the class.

Freshman Class Dick Joneson was elected temporary president of the freshman· class when it met to organize as a class. Other temporary officers chosen were, Dbn Wendt, vice president, Nancy Hardy, treasurer, and Barbara Griffing, secretary. ·

For example, I heard one popular couple say, "Your not holding me as close as usual tonight." Another couple, not as well acquainted, evidently, was heard saying, "Wait until you get to know me better." Dancing has been expressed as stimulating or soothing, and frequently ·inspiring. But when the young man of your choice (?) walks all over your feet the only thing it inspires is a bad case of temper and stimulates only your poor aching feet. Another "pet peeve" is the floor hog! When a couple is dancing and you run into someone, they turn around and look at you, just because you happened to sink your heel in their leg. After all we have to learn and where coufd we find a bette; place than on a crowded dance floor? But the one that really takes the cake is the "Jitterbug." He jerks you from one side to the other and back again, until your arms have been pulled from their sockets, your hair is in your face, and you're a total wreck. Then he turns to you and says, so-oo politely, "Honey! You look like a mess!" Oh, these men.

Bill Mdninch's Baby Beef Wins Omaha Prize Bill Mcininch, a freshman at Peru State Teachers College, won a white ribbon at the Aksarben in Omaha. Bill's prize winner was a Hereford steer and the ribbon (3rd1 class) was presented to him at the Aksarben during the Midwest Livestock Exhibition show held annually in Omaha.

Prep Mechanics Class Does Construction Work The high school farm and: home mechanics class, under the direction of Dee Jarvis and student teacher Bill Ryan, has been doing 'construction work, on a non-profit basis, for some of the farmers of the surrounding terr:tory.

Wayne's Kane-Bahe Spark Ground and Air Attack

Halt Peru 27-0 By Bud Kyle The Chad<ron Eagles upset-Peru on October 15, by dumping the Bobcats 27-0 before a large Homecoming crowd. Peru kicked off to Chadron to get festivities under way and immediately the Eagles began to march. But aflf"r picking up two successive first downs the Eagle attack bogged down, due to a stout Bobcat ddense, and they were forced to kick. The Cats initiated a drive of their o.wn but failed to inflict any serious damage. Peru controlled the ball during much of the first. quarter. Chadron got its powerful offensive machine in gear early· in the ~cond quarter and marched to their first T.D. ·The remainder of the quarter saw no serious threat from either team. The score read 7-0 Chadron, at the half. During half time ceremonies, Miss Opal Reehle was crowned homecoming queen ' by Frank ~asek and Buzz Campbell. In the third quarter the Eagles intercepted a Bobcat aerial and went on to chalk up their second T .D. Sallars' extra point attempt was blocked by Red Wilson. Score 13-0, Chadron. The Bobcats scored' their only TD in this period on a long pass but· the pass receiver was out of the end zone. In' tqe fourth quarter Chadron added two more touchdowns and both extra point attempts by Sallars WfSJe successful. One of these came on a 44 yard pass to Colerick, Cpadroh's outstanding end. The Bobcats seemed to lack the necessary scoring punch. On several occasions \hey were deep in Chadrqn territory but were unable to 'reach pay dirt.

Bobkittens Top Tecumseh 20-6 Peru Prep won its fourth ball game in five starts last Friday night by trampling the Tecumseh Indians 20-6. This game was played before a huge crowd in the Oak Bowl. Peru's first touchdown came late in the first stanza on a 68 yard march. Rains carried the leather for a 34 y?rd gain to the Indian 32, then John Henning faked a pass and ran to the 20 yard stripe. Rains rammed for 12 yards more and then on the next play frcim scrimmage he skirted the end for the counter. ' The run for point was short and the score read 6-0. The Bobkittens second score of the evening came via a pass from Henning to Cole for 12 yards. Henning pulled a sneaker and Prep led 13-0 at half time. Peru's last touchdown was set up when Bill Cole blocked a punt deep in Tecun!seh territory, and Peru recovered. In thre·e line plays Henning plunged over on a quarterback sneak. Hennings line buck was good for the point after touchdown and this .ended the Bobkitten scoring. ' The Indians only counter came late in the last period, after a series of p~nalties put the ball on the Peru 25 yard line. A pass from M. Johnson to Miller was good for the lone touchdown.

Pawnee City Punches· Prep Pawnee City stopped Peru's unbeaten string by downing the Bobkittens 26-14 in an afternoon game .at Pawnee City. Peru was scored on three times in the first quarter and again in the third period. This heavy lead· was too much for the Nettleton coached squad to. overcome. Peru's two tallies came in the last period. John Henning carried the mail over from the 8 yard line and he added the extra point by virtue of a line plunge. Bill Cole accounted for the other Prep score when .he took a neat pass from Rodger Majors andi went across standin,g up. The play covered 15 yards. Again Henning plunged for the extra · point. Except · for the first quarter it was a good ball game with both teams running hard. ,

Former Peruvian, Mrs. Brown, Writes Novel, "Young Nathan" Mrs. Gilbert S. (Marion Marsh) :Brown, who wrote the novel, "You:hg Nathan" is a graduate of Peru State Teachers College. Her writing career has been intermingled with another career, that of teaching. Near Brownville she attended a country school and sped through it at her · own pace, going into high school at tde age of eleven. When she was eighteen, she hadl her Bachelors Degree from Peru. She taught in high school at Steele City, Auburn, Curtis, Aggies and Franklin. Mrs. Brown is both honest and modest. She volunteered the information that it was on her husband's suggestion that she wrote her first book. He'd noticed that Nathan Hale, the Revolutionary patriot, whom the British hanged as a spy had been largely overlooked by writers. Mrs. Brown wrote the volume about ten years ago. Then, for

The orchestra will be conducted by V. H. Jindra, the chorus by Darryl Manring. Garth Emigh is pianist and R. T. Benford organist. Mr. Manring will sing the part c.f Elijah. Other solo parts will be sung by Trudie Toggweiler, Patricia Benford, Patricia Richardson and Bennie DuerfeldL The oratorio tells the Biblical' story of the prophet Elijah who· phrophesied a three year drouth and famine because the children of Israel had turned to the wor-· ship of the false god Baal. Elijah. disappeared into the wilderness' for three years where he was fecll by the ravens. Returning, he met King Ahab and offered to prove the priests of Baal false. Both he and the priests offer a sacrifice then call upon God to send fire to consume it. Fire comes from heaven and consumes Eliiah's offering. The priests' offerii{g is untouched. Discredited, the -450 priests are slain by the people, a cloud arose from the sea and the land had rain. By destroying the priests of Baal, Elijah incurrred the hatred of Ahab's wife, Jezebel, who threatened him. Elijah retired to the wilderness again, taking Elisha as his disciple. Later Elijah appeared before king Ahab to prophesy the death of Ahaziah, Ahab's successor, then Elijah is taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire, leaving Elisha to carry on his work. The oratorio is based upon Kings I and II.

Step Off Those Steps Griping is not an exclusive feature of the students. The facliiiY also does its share of. griping. One of the faculty's bigg~st gripes con_cerns the students who invariably park themselves on the steps of the Library or in particular on the steps of the Administration Building. It starts out with one tired student resting his weary bones by stretching out on the steps and before long, his cronies jo'.n him. These have friends who stop and chat and finally .a solid wall of human flesh is formed that almost completely blocks the entrance of the building. The faculty members, most of whom never were broken field runners in their college days, have to pick their way gingerly through and over the carcasses of loitering students. The students are not even thoughful enough to move over or make room for the passage of some of the less limber ·faculty members for whom it is rather difficult to climb three steps in one stride. Some student~ also find this inconvenient and wait for a big strong man to blaze the way through the teeming crowd so they can follow in the path he has made. Granted there is no other place which offers such a good view or that is situated so neariy in the center of activity on the campus; but by loitering in front of the building, students inconvenience other students as well as faculty members. Perhaps there should be an easily accessible lounge or smoking room where Jltudents could go to spend a few minutes between classes.

So remember, if you sit on the steps, you are not only slitting on one of the most uncomfortable places on the campus, but you are also blocking inter-class traffic.

'Yeah--So What? Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, peopie say we are silly; if we don't they say we are too serious. If we clip from other papers, we are too lazy to write it down ourselves; if we don't, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, we ought to be out hunting up news. If we g2t cut and try to hustle, we ought to be on the job at the offce. If we don't print contribuations, we don't appreciate true genius; if we do, the paper is filled with junk. If we mak!i a change in a fellow's write up, we are too critical; if we don't we are asleep. Now, J'ke as riot, someone will say that we swiped this from some other paper. WE DID-SO WHAT?

The Trouble With Roomates By Barbara Johnson

For most of you, living in a dorm'.tory with a roommate is a new and thrilling experience. Therefore here are a few pointers on how to live a short and unhappy life together. If you follow this advice you will learn to hate each other very much. First of all, never wait until she asks your advice on anything, al ways tell her the first chance you have. In this way ycu can jump to conclusions in sizing her up. So be sure to force the issue. Don't let your ·roommate forget how successful your family is. Always remind her that your father is vice-president of a lot of things; that your mother is skilled with an eggbeater, and that little brother has an all star rating. Anii always impress her with your intelli. gence, and that there is nothing more for you to learn. If you're not among the top few on anything always gripe about it. Tell her how different it was at home. Always make her think that no one is quite as popular as you are. They just haven't discovered you here, yet! Start out by borrowing her clothes, and if you get lipstick on her favorite hanky, think nothing of it! But be sure never to loan anything of yours! After all, you don't want your ~hings ruined. If something about your roommate is troubling you, go to all the other girls and gossip about her. Never discuss it with your roommate personally. And of course, if you borrow money and she doesn't ask you to pay her back, don't bother. Why should you spend your money,if you can spend hers! But if you do pay her back n~ver be prompt, at least make her get down on her knees and beg for it. These suggestions are guatanteed to make you unpopular; however if you are this type of person you can, undoubtedly, devise more gruesome ways than the above to torture your innocent roomate.

Wesleyan Traps Campbell Romps Bobcats 12-6

Bobcats Heard in 33-19 Clawing of General Beadle

Peru lost .a hard fought game the night of October 21, to Nebraska Wesleyan 12-6. The game was played at O.N. Magee stadium in Lincoln before a crowd of chilled fans. The Bobcats didn't play hard ball the first half and the Methodists took advantage and racked up two scores. They led at halftime 12-0. It was a different story in the second half as Peru outplayed their opponents and threatened twice in the last quarter. Thi~ kept Wesleyan on their toes. In· the second half the backs were running hard, and the line was charg'.ng hard against the heftier Plainsmen. Taking the ball on their own 26 the Bobcats marched 74 yards to score. A 31 yard aerial from Don Anderson to Bill Vacek put the ball on Wesleyan's 43 yard .line. Poppe added five yards and Gausman made five more to give the Bobcats a first down on Wesleyan's . 33 yard line. Jim Waddle skirted end for 20 yards to the 13. Anderson again pitched a strike to Gausman on the three yard line and on the .next play Anderson drove over tackle for a T.D. and six points. The kick was no good and Wesleyan still led 12-6. Peru made two more bids to score but the Plainsmen defense tightened and stopped the drives near the goal. Late in the last quarter Anderson blocked a punt and Langley recovered on the 12-yard line. After three unsuccessful running plays Anderson tossed to Sanford, who dropped the ball in the end zone. This was undoubtedly the best game the Bobcats have played both offensively and defensively. Don Anderson was the ace both en offense and defense.

Peru Host to York In Season's Final Tommorrow afternoon (Friday) at 2:00 the Bobcats will play host td; York College. This is also Dads' day on the campus. All fathers of the players will be guests of the college. Last year Peru downed York 43-8 on Armistice Day at York. "Red'' Wilson scored three touchdowns; Cal Walden, Dick 'Campbell and Wilbur St:heitel each accounted for one apiece. This will lie the final game of the year so lets all turn out and give the team a lot of support. This is an important conference game 1 and we must have a victory.

The Bobcats of Peru fought back late in the game to overcome a 13-6 half time deficit and went on to down General Beadle Teachers of South Dakota 33-19, on the Auburn High field on October 28. Peru made 27 of their points ~n the final stanza due to hard running and good blocking.

Dick Campbell, senior halfback, led the Bobcats to a 33-19 win over General Beadle. Buzz scored three touc.hdo~ns on runs of 31, 13 and 54 yards. He also kicked three extra points.

Bobkittens Smack Rock Port 12,.0 Peru Prep defeated Rock Port, Mo., for the first time in eight seasons, last Friday night on the local gridiron by a 12-0 score. Not ,since the fall of 1941 have the Bobkhlens defeated the boys from the "show me" state. At that Peru won by a 13 to 6 score. Duane Rains, who is making a strong bid for all . conference honors, scored both touchdowns. In the first quarter Rains took a lateral from fullback John Henning, reversed his field and ran 5 yards to score. His place kick for the extra point was no good. In the third quarter Parriott intercepted Fisher's 4th down pass in midfield. Rains, Henning and Parriott lugged the ball to the Rock Port 25 yard line. At this point Majors passed to Cole who bulled his way to the one yard line. On third down Rains ran wide to his right, cut back ¢and scored standing up. The placement failed and this ended the scoring. Rains, Parriott and John Henning kept the offense rolling. Applegate, Cole, Hamel, Palmer and Knople looked best on defense. ' ' Next Friday- night the Bobkittens will play Essex, Ia. A victory over Essex would give Prep its first football championship since the Tri-State League was organized.

In the second quarter after General Beadle was leading 13-0. Bob Wilson was the big ground gainer and after the Bobcats had ounched their way to the 4-yard line, "Red" carried it over standin.f!" uu. The try for point failed and Peru trailed 13-6, at half time. But the 7 point margin for South Dakota was short when D'ck Campbell raced 31 yards through the General Beadle defense to score. ffe also kicked the extra point. tying the game ot 1~-all. Nnt much later in the g0me Campbell again scored ~,.,"' 13 yards out, and a.f'.ain bcoted a conversion. The Bobcats ':hen led 20-13.

Wheeler Attends Nat"! Basketball Ase. Meeting

With the Trojans' star back, Caselli, in top running form, the boys from South Dakota scored again. Caselli took a pass for 20 yards, and then ran four, four, 15, and two yards to finally score. The try for point was no good and Peru led 20-19. The Trojans kicked to Peru and Gausman took the ball and returned it to the 46 yard line. On the next play from scrim• mage it was Campbell again tak• ing the ball and racing 54 yards to add six more points. Again his kick w.e.s good and Peru led 27-1~.

Just after tbe kick, Bob Gausman intercepted the pass throvn1 by the Trojans and returned it 29 yards to the Beadle 11. In three more plays LeRoy Wilson went over from a yard out. Then the game ended with Peru winning by a 33-19 count. It was a big night for Buzz Campbell who scored. three times.

Campus Comments

There was considerable griping last year a,s to the scarcity of social events on the campus. This year the condition has definitely improved but there is still more need for mid-week as well as weekend activities for the students who can't get home. Maybe if the student body did something about it i~stead of just griping .constantly we would see some changes made.

My hat's off to the women who had enough gumption to par·ticipate in Co-ed Week. This is another instance which proves that girls aren't (always) the weaker sex. It's too bad that more of the gals didn't attempt it. After all, this is pvobably one of tl1e best chances they'll ever have. Aft~ they are out of school it isn't usualiy the procedure to go around asking for dates. (By the way, ;the men went for the turnabout process in a big way.) The Blue Devils are to be congratulated on the swell job they did on the ·Football Banquet. This organization along with the Angels deserve a lot of credit for the backing of the team with spirit at the games away from ho~e as well as the ones here.

While we're on the subject of spirit, it seems that the student body, as a whole, is lacking in this department. Ev;erytime the team was a few points behind in the past football season all enthusiasm vanished. Spirit is one of the essentials for a winning team so, let's get back of the basketball boys,

Once Again Thanksgiving Once again the calendar is turned to the month of Novemberthe month wherein we celebrate Thanksgiving as a national' holiday of gratefulness and thankfulness. Thanksgiving is second only to Christmas in making the heart glow with the warmth of contentment. On the very first Thanksgiving, people were grateftt1 and rejoiced in what they had. Is this still our attitude, or are we· inclined to think of Thanksgiving as a time to eat "turli:ey and al' the trimmings"? May we give thanks this year in the sarpe spirit in which the Pilgrims gave thanks on their first Thanksgiving day. This Thanksgiving will be a splendid time to stop and think of the many good things of life which we have to enjoy.

Prep wil I'Present Senior Class Play Have you ever been dead? The late Mr. Early was-or so he thought-killed in an airplane accident. So he wasn't at all surprised: when his ectoplasm started wandering around the house where all his mourning friends were gathered. Remember "Topper" and "Topper Takes a Trip"? "The Late Mr. Early" is like that; about two young people who thought themselves dead arid who develoned· into hilarious ghosts. It's the k.'nd of play which hasn't a sane moment in it from beginning to end, the kind of play written for laughing purposes only. The Prep Senior •Class, directed by Al Schwartz, will give this play tonight at the collegE! auditorium. The admission will be 60 cents.

Crites, president of the State Normal Board, gave the dedicatory addrecs and made the presentation. Merle Bauer, captain of the Bobcat team, accepted on behalf of the school. ' ' Originally the structure was a:· chapel but later became the gym-· nasium. The roof was lowered· 49 feet which places the beams 23 feet, 10 inches above the playnig floor. The new floor is 134 feet long and 81 feet wide, housing two gyms, two basketball courts, and. other intramural and recreational games. The playing court for basketball is standard college size with swinging bank board of glass. Aside from the regular baskets there are five others for smaller floors. The addition to the building is 40 feet long. Below the gym flcor

It took 15 men 1)3, 180 hours to build the new structure over a period of 18 months. Fifty tons of steel, suspended 90 feet in the air were removed in ten days. C. E.

Campus Comments .The freshmen and sophomores have received much praise from many sources for their worlc on the Christmas dance. The special reason for ths -s their pre-organizati~n for the event. Every time some affair is to take place it seems no one, including the sponsoring organization, knows just what, when, or where, it's coming off. Why not cash in on the example set by the two classes just mentioned?

Speaking of the Christmas danet\, or Snow Whirl as It has been named, the freshmen and sophomores have worked tndustrioosly to make the dance a success. Why not show our appreejation by· turning out in a big way for the formal?

Students showed how big their hearts were recently when Dave Duey, victim of a recent automobile accident, was seriously injured. People gave generously at the basketball tournament. The Blue Devils of which Dave is a member took a collection and are sponsoring a Minstrel show to collect more money on Dave's behalf It's too ba<li that it takes something like· this to bring out students' generosity.

Christmas Greetings The Thanksgiving turkey in its final disguise has appeared, on the dinner table for the last time. Football games are but the stuff of last season's memories. The last few stubborn brown leaves have given up their lease on tree branches. The year has rounded the corner from November's autumn into December and winter. Snow has fallen on the Peru campus and the holiday season is upon us.

It is a season of feverish shopping expeditions, trips to see Santa, and decorating Christmas trees. The weeks before 1 Christmas are also ones . traditionally devoted to entertaining guests, family reunions and the time for Christian prayer. We extend to all a Merry Christmas and. a Happy New Year!

I Found It! I Found It! He staggers drunkenly around our campus, squares off at every word spoken to him, looks sneeringly at the world through rose colored eye-balls. Sprays of unkempt hair project out from his head at every imaginable angle and the whiskers on his face look ripe for cutting. Santa Claus could easily put all the toys in bags und.erneath his eyes. Who is it that exists in such a deplorable state? It is the student taking Qual'tative Analysis 205. The last week has been especially trying for these students. It was the week devoted to finding or trying to findt the general unknown metal. Students have been searching high and low for the metal that exists right before them in a small test tube. The ordeal begins when a student is

fairly confid2nt that he is ready to t2·~in the search-what a joke! He goes to the stockroom where he is given a small sample of the metal which he carefully brings back to hi.s desk and then the fun begins. This sample is boiled, cooked, fried anc: frozen. It is filtered, washed, cleaned, and dried. It is precipitated, treated, has its temperature taken, and is cured. It is given drops from pink, yellow, brown, and clear colored bottles. Then is it again diluted, precipitated, filtered and washed. At about midnight, after the last step, prayer, the student staggers to the office and hopefully announces the metal he has found. If the. answer is right, a joyful whoop can be heard for miles. If however the answer is

Santa Claus Cornes to Peru OR THIS WILL SLEIGH YOU T'was the week before Christmas and all through the co Students' were attempting to accufrmlate knowledge. Their coats were draped over the library chairs, End books W'ere being scanned with glassy stares. While in the class rom teachers were trying, To keep the class interest from suddenly dying.

It was paiinted in red and trimmed in platinum; The seats were upholstered in bright green satin: The students were wearing looks so amazed, They thought, long over, was their Santa Claus daze. He jumped from the sleigh creating a rumpus, And headed for the Ad Building like a compas. Slung over his shoulder was an enormous brown pac And Jor extra space it certainly did lack. He opened the door and 1there disappeared, While students ar,ound pondered over his beard. Later he came out of the door with a dash, Almost avoiding a terrific crash. "Freshmen, Freshmen, " said he, Brushing the snow from his knee. He stopped on the steps and twinkled his eyes, Causing his o,ootemporaries to breath sighs. "I have a deal with your teachers," he then exclaimed, And reading from a paper he did proclaim, "The teachers of this college have mended their ways, They have agreed to give the students all 'A's'." The students. were dumbfounded, they knew not what to And looked all around and every which way.

"Now, nowt you shouldn't 'look so glum!" And he opened his sack, full of bubble gum. "Your teachers won't frown as they are usually doing, I left them some gum which they are now chewing." And quick as a flash and without any troubles, He left tse students all blowing bubbles. -Sue Eads.

Basketball Is Most Overplayed Game

Peru has just recently received a pair of new suspens'on glass bank boards for the newly redecorated gymnasium. They we~e immediately installed and< were in use for the big Four-State Basketball Tournament held here last week. These bank boards were purchased from the Medart company of St. Louis.

" Team entries are now closed but squads already entered can add or list ten men to their squads. The teams registered and their managers are as follows: Joe's ·Foamers-Bob Ryan Bull Pups-<Cecil McKnight and , Delbert Littrell Basketeers-Harold Schwab Brewer's Gold-Les Niel , Prep Alumni-P. C.

Coach Newt Kyle's Bobcats opened their 1949-50 basketball season by whipping the Wildcats of Culver-Stockton from Canton, Mo., 51-45, in the second. game of the Four-State Tourney on December 1. Donaven Bornschlegl was the fire-horse of the game scoring early for ·Peru and keeping the Missouri boys on their toes. Big George Eilers took scoring honors for Peru w'.th 12 points while Bornschlegl and game captain, "Hoot" Bauer scored 11 and 10 points respectively. Peru led at the half 27-25. Looking good for the losers were Walz, Turner and; Gain, who did a fine job of keeping the Wildcats in the game.

"Basketball is one of the most· over-played, over-officiated and over-coached games" Chuck Taylor told approximately 800 college students, faculty and fans at Peru State Teachers College Thursday afternoon, December 1. Mr. Taylor, a former professional star, while playing with the New York Celtics, demonstrated: methods and techniques for successful passing and shooting. He proved his point from the playing angle by demonstrating the effectiveness of well-executed fundamentals. The largest applause came when Taylor shot the basketball from the center of the gym. The ball bounced on the floor, then swished through the goal. Movies of the NCAA championship basketball game between Kentucvy and Oklahoma A & M concluded the Taylor demonstration.

The championship game saw a great battle with western Illinois down'ng the fighting Bobcats of Feru by a 59 to 49 margin. The half time score might tell just what kind of a ball game it was. At the half both teams had a 23 point tie. With 10 minutes gone in ths first half Peru led 14-8; and then on a fielder by Bornschlegl the gap was widened to 16-8. Western Illinois started sizzling until they had caught the Bobcats at a 16-16 tie with just five minutes left in the half. Meier and Bornschlegl hit to make it 23-18 only to have Bill Griffith of Illinois can 5 points to tie the game at half time. From the second: half on Peru only led once at 29-27 on a fielclier by Hallstrom. The Bobcats saw the pace widen, only to have .Jack Hallstrom again dunk two quickies to get within 4 points of Illinois at 48-44. An allcstar tourney team was picked with the following selections: Williams - Simpson College Gains - Culver Stockton Griffith - Western Illinois Bauer - Peru State McClure - Western Illinois It was also decided the Four State Tournament· will be held at Cfaton, Mo., the home of Cul· ver"'Stockton next year.

Campus Comments It has been suggested by a group of students on the .campus that a list of obtainable part time jobs be posted in some easily accessible location such as on the bulletin board. There are certain students who wish to make a little extra spending money but don't know when or where to look for the work. Sounds like a good idea.

\ttention, you daring young men wto want to "pop" the questiu to your girls one of these da ·s. For many days now you h<. ;e probably peered into jewelr,- windows, noted the price of a tliamond, felt a thin pocketbook and with a shrug of your shoulders, gone sadly on your way. '.For rr.any ages now it has been the custom of a young man with serious intentions to seal the engagement to his girl with a shiny piece of crytalline carbon embedded in a golden disk. Because of this obsolete custom, young men have begged, borrowed, and stolen, gone days without nutrition, and done without other essentfals to young mar.hood. T:,is deporable situation can and sLould be stopped! Probably all of you have heard

tJ-c song about the girl who wore a yellow ribbon for her lo\•er who w~s far, far, away in college and couldn't afford a diam~nd so she tied a yellow ribbon around her neck to show she had gotten her man. Now there was a prima dcnna-a real sensible girl. No diamond rirlg for her, just a plain, simple piece of 25 cents a yard silk ribbon was good enough for her. She must be an old fashioned gal who appreciates the giver more than she does the gift. Why not follow this sterling example and change some of our old fashioned traditions, and be practical? Just think how useless a diamond is!. In the first place· it costs a small fortune and the only interest that it bears comes from a few friends who make little remarks concerning the microscopic size of the stone. Besides the principal should be noted not th,e interest. After the marriage the ring becomes very impractical. Dust,

scap and grime from the dishpan collect in its cracks and crevices, and it becomes hard to• clsan. Also as the wife grows older and plumper which is usualy the case, the ring stays the same size while the finger grows in siz2. The loss of many a woman's third finger can be accredited to 1 diamond ring. .Just think how much more practical a yellow ribbon would \Je. It can b'e tied to adjustable sizes and also washed. After it has been· washed it is just like r.ew. It can be used for a washcloth, dishcloth, handkerchief, or many other useful purposes. Just imagine yourself on a moonlit night, parked out on a lonely country road with your girl. You ask the fatal question and if the girl answers yes, you can immediately tie up everything with a yellow ribbon around her neck. How abeut it?

Two eage,r reporters invaded) the morgue of the campus newspaper and after brushing away inches. of dust, they discovered some M the first newspapers of the Feru Normal School. The age colored newspaper was called the Normalite and copies date back as far as 1899. In these papers the twentieth . century reporters noted that the humor, fashions, and customs differ greatly from those of today. Some of these items seemed very humorous to these reporters but they also realize that in perhaps a hundred years from now, other r e p o r te r s would be leafing through the items that they wrote and consider our customs and fashions silly. Below are a series of itms wehich will give one an impression of life on the campus fifty years ago.

Filched From the Files

Are you nervous, excitable"? :Does your hair come out by the handful when yor tug at it? Is your mind a complete blank? If so don't write for the Ped. But ·en the other hand, if you crave .excitement, love suspense, and .desire to be known (?), sign up for journalism at once. Anyone can write a story. But will anyone accept it? However, an amateur never lets this stand in his way. He keeps right on trying, clntH finally somebody weakens and publishes his stories. How do you think I get a column in here every so often? There are innumerable chances .in this field to show bits of talent you have managed to keep hidden for years. So if you're looking for another course to take next semester, why not sign up for jourl'lalism? Of course; i1 you are an English major or minor and the course is required, for goodness sake, don't let anything I've just said influence you toward taking this course!

Pittsburg Tumbles To Bobcats 65~58 On Friday, December 16, the Peru Bobcats playing the best basketball game of their season downed a tall and tough Pitts~ burg, Kans., team with a 65-58 margin. Pittsburg, led by 6-foot, 8-inch center, John Spillman, came to the Peru maples with an impressive record. Just the week before they had won the Rockhurst Invitational Tournament at Kansas City, and had beaten Tarkio 105 to 22. There was rarely more than two points separating the two teams until the last seven minutes, when Peru started to pull away. Meeker led Peru to victory, collecting 19 ponts. Spillman, big center from Pittsburg, had 21 very important points. Peru had a 33-32 lead at the half-way mark.

Newt Kyle's Peru State Teachers basketball team beat St. Benedicts 95-50, December 30 in a Peru home game which was played at Falls City. On that evening the Bobcats avenged an earlier 58-65 loss to St. Benedicts and surpassed the previous high scoring mark of 89 points scored against the Grand Island Army Air Base during the 1944 season. Peru's fne team took a 15-5 lead after five minutes of play and breezed all the way. Coach Kyle cleared the bench and the score at half time was 39-18. Center Lyle Meler got credit for the record breaking toss, although he only scored two field goals. Top scorers for the evening were Jack Hallstrom with 17, Omer Meeker with 16, Don Bornschlegl with 16, and Merle Bauer guard, got 15 points. The best st'. Benedicts could do was 10 points by Ken Werba. There were 55 personal fouls called in this high scoring game.

A scintillating seven piece Orm chsstra made up of Peru state students has the "Oaks" buzzing with excitement and approval fo.ese frosty days. Of late the students of this institution have celebrated Bobcat home victories by hopping around the Delzell lounge floor keeping time to some swell music provided by a number of Music Club members. In fact, the melodies are so invigorating that almost every time a "gent" strolls up to a pretty girl and quips "Come on worm, let's wiggle," the answer is of t.he affirmative type. The dances last a none-too-long sb::ty minutes, but everyone is so thankful for this much that few complaints are heard. The outfit has the name "Toml'ny Bishop". painted neatly on their band stands and contains the following talented personnel: Eddie Hanna, playing the gol~en­ throat sax; flicker-fingered Paul Parker, on the clarinet; Hobart, "Dixie," Duerfeldt, trombonist; Jean Mcininch, on the big bass fiddle; Maurice Moran, who can chop out the chords on the piano; Thorne Dillon, drummer extraordinary, and Lester Russell, who manipulates a cornet. When these melody makers get together the room is bound to be filled with rhythm. Everyone on the campus hopes that these after~game get-togethers will continue, for they enliven the college considerably.

Plan to Give Variety In Co-Recreation Hour The co-recreation hour that has been started here on the campus under the direction of Coach Paul Gilbert has proved to be a success so far. The only project undertaken thus far is swimming on Thursday nights, but the need for such a program has been realized, and in the future it is hoped that volley ball and badminton courts will be available.

Amateur's Antics Delight Crowd Profit Charities to $155 Tune A thrilling demonstration on how not to play basketball was enjoyed by students and townspeople in a double header staged for the benefit of the March of Dimes and the Peru Recreation funct last week. The first game, between the local firemen and the farmers ended in a decisive 32-16 victory for the farmers. Handicapped by having only one reserve to call on when a player was winded, the firemen, nevertheless, played a better game than the score indicates. The second game between the local Kiwanis Club and the Peru Chamber of Commerce ended in . what Gppeared to be prearranged 25-25 tie; at one time, the score board read 75-51. The game was characterized bY highly irregular conduct on the part of the referees, Omer Meeker and Bill Vossen, who cheated impartially for both sides. Mee.ker so far forgot the dignity of his high position that he helped the Chamber of Commerce to score by making a basket when the memi.Jer2 of the team seemed ·to have difficulty in doing it themselves. During the intermission between halves both referees were forced to hj'de out under the bleachers to escape the wrath of the White Angels who were strongly partisan to the Kiwanians. At one time it was necessary to forcibly eject Mr. Clements, Kiwanian coach, from the floor

for interfering with the referees'

decision. During thP frequent time-outs called to enable the players to recover their wind, Blue Devil cheer leaders, Rex Coatney and Red Wilson put on an exhibition of leap frog and tumbling with emphasis on tumbling. Carried away by the excitment of the occasion, Red forgot that the game was basketball, grabbed the ball and raced the full length of the floor, making several first downs, then surrendered the ball in disgust when he found the goal posts upside down and hanging from the roof. Faculty members who participated were Al Wheeler, Newt Kyle, John Nettleton, Rex Floyd, Quinn Lotspeich and Dr. P. A. Maxwell. Though only a substitute, Dr. Maxwell was sent into the game beca.use of a demand from the White Angels. Though, not the outstanding player for his team, his jonquil yellow shorts made a tremendous hit with the crowd. He made a basket too, The college band furnished inspirational music for the event. Anparently they considered "The Old Gray Mare" hi!'hly appropriat~ becanse they played it several times . .So successful was the ·affair, that it has been suggested tha: it be made an annual affair. About $155 was collected in donations and from the sale of nopcorn and apples by the High Sch0ol ~tudents.

Three Study Junior Bitdmen Centers Set Up Take Note ... Each year many individuals, who are employed at some distance from the college, have the time and inclination to do some college work, but cannot attend the regular classes on the campus. To these, the college offers study center courses. The college has three study centers in operation at the present time which are located at Pawnee City, Rockport, and on the campus. i Miss Blanche Gard is in charge of thf Teaching of Reading for Elementary and Junior High levels. She has a class of i5 at Pawnee City. Miss Norma Diddel is in charge of the Improvement of Instruction in Arts and Crafts, at Rockport. There are 15 .enrolled in the class. Mr. C. E. Wilkinson has charge of English 102. Eight are enrolled in this class which is being held here on the campus. A study center is in the process of being set up for elementary teachers in the Falls City school system. Neither the exact subject nor the instructor has yet been chosen.

Interviews will be given on the campus February 20 and 21 to young men and women interested in a career as an officer in the United States Air Force. An ,Air Force officer team~ ' composed of Capt. Robert Council Calvin Mosher will establish headquarters in Delzell Hall. During their visit they will explain career opportunities, assist those interested in filling out application forms and give qualifying examinations to those seeking Aviation Cadet pilot or navigator training. S~udents who meet the quali, fications will. have opportunity to begin the processing procedure so they will be ready to start training as soon as they finish college. Qualified young men will have opportunity to train as pilots, as navigators, or for nonflying duties. The latter program-Officer Candidate School which prepares officers for nonflying junior executive duties in administrative and technical fields-also is open to qualified young women. The Aviation Cadet Pilot Training Program trains young men to fly the new postwar types of aircraft. Graduates of the oneyear course, which combines flying, academic and military training, receive Reserve commisSio:ns as secqnd ·ueutenants and are assigned as rated pilots to active duty with the Air Force. Outstanding graduates receive regular commissions. The others, who receive Reserve commissions have opportunity to compete for Regular commissions during their three year tour of active duty. To be eligible, men must be single citizens between the ages of 20 and 26Yz. They must have completed two or more years of college and meet high physical and moral qualifications.

A crew is working. this week in Mt. Vernon Hall, building cross partitions on the second and third floors of the building. The purpose .of the partitions is to prevent the spread of fumes and smoke from one floor to anvther in the case of fire. This precautionary measure was considered advisable because of recent dormitory and hospital fires in other institutions. This added protection for the students living in Mt. Vernon is over and above the recommendations of the state fire inspector. The Aviation Cadet Navigator Ney.r fluorescent lights have Training Program traius young been installed in all class rooms men in the latest methods of rain the Training School. Workmen dar navigation for duty on the expect to have the work com- new long-range bombers and air tr:rnsports. Graduates of the onepleted by the end of this week. The current shortage of coal year course, whicl:t includes: 184 does not alarm the men at the hours of instruction in "flying beating plant. An ample supply ' classrooms," receive commissions of coal is on hand to meet any as second lieutenants, with aeroemergency. nautical rating as navigator.

Kenton Koncert In Lincoln, February 22 Stan Kenton, the most controversial figure in music today, will present his "Innovations iJ:.i Modern Music for 1950" at 8:00 p.m., February 22, at the University Coliseum, Lincoln. ,The exclusive appearance of Kenton's new band is being sponsored by the Student Union as a service to University students and Nebraska residents. The concert will be an "outside appearance" for Kenton, whose regular tour starts at New York City and progresses through some 75 cities back to Los Angeles. Kenton reorganized his band recently after a several months lay-off to prepare new material for the present concert series. He will again feature the woman vocalist he brought into national prominence a few years ago, June Christy. ' This is beyond doubt the finest band playing modern jazz to appear in Nebraska for sometime. If you really need some fine kicks dig Kenton! Price by the way is $1.20 for students, $1.80 general admission.

EIGHT MORE GAMES UNTIL KANSAS CITY

Opportunities for Regular commissions are the same as for Aviation Cadets taking pilot training. Eligibility requirements also are the same except for the physical examination, which is less stringent for those seeking careers as navigators. To be eligible for Officer Candidate School, young men and WOI'1Pn must be citizens between the ages of 20 and 26Yz, either married er single, who have completed two years of college, with high moral and personal qualifications and who are in good physical condition. Studen'.s who for any reason fail to comn1ete any of the Air Fc'·c~ officer trair1ing program are returned to civilian life.

Yes, Times Get Mighty Hard

STOP AT

By Jack Tillman

DEAN'S CAFE

Dear Uncle .Sam, I knew it was late this morning the moment my feet hit the floor. I hadn't heard the alarm clock in the next room. (I had to sell mine to get a hair cut but that was so long ago that the hair has grown around my ears again and I just can't hear an alarm that far away.) Well, I had missed another class but I got up anyway. The regular morning duties had to be done so I went about doing them. I hadn't been up five minutes until I knew he was still haunting me. Yes, Joe Poverty is stiII on my back, seems as if I will never loose him. This morning, as usual, I went straight to the medicine cabinet and found that 13 week old razor blade. Next, I found a slightly used paste board box and set about making some new soles for my shoes. I decided it might be a long day so I made a double thickness. Why not? They didn't cost anything. I was going to put the razor blade in the rusty pair of pliers and shave, but my better judgement told me I couldn't afford the loss of blood. My faithful stomach, to which I am not so faithful, told me it was time for breakfast., This thought presented · spme very vexing problems; for one thing it reminded me that Joe Poverty was still casting a black shadow over my life. I was patient, however, and went about the regular routine, but alas! not one person had lost so much as a dime in any of the chairs ·and couches in the lounge. This worried me because I knew the ground was frozen and I would not be able to dig up any roots or herbs. (They make ·a fine meal in the spring and summer. Ask any college boy.) With two of my best sources gone I still wanted breakfast, but there was Joe, looking as big as pne of the thousand oaks. Luck was with me though because I then remembered that I had written a letter to my girl. Just as I thought of the letter I looked at the clock. (A clock in

the Dorm, placed there for the convenience of ·an tenants. I pawned my watch when I was a freshman.) Yes, I just had ·time. I hurried up to my room. (It won't be mine for long if I don't pay my rent) took the stamp off the letter, sold it back to the boy at the desk for the origiop.al price of three cents, and went to match pennies with the first grade boys at the training school, who were getting out for recess. I came back with the taste, no,

not food, but that of a g'ambler who tried to hit an inside straight.

Championships Not New to Bobcats The "Fighting" Bobcats have won their third consecutive Nebraska College Conference basketball championship. Under the direction of coach Newt Kyle the Peru cagers have fought their way through a long, gruelir:g season. Almost every we2k the Bobcats were faced with two conference opponents who probably would rather beat the winning Fern quintet than any ether. Through all this the Bobcats bst only once, that loss being to a torrid Hastings team. Winning all those games wasn't a matter of shooting ducks on a pond. Some of them were hard fought and the Bobcats wore pushed to the final moments. Wesleylan ~urnished Peru with their most thrilling game, when they took the Bobcats into an extra period before bowing to the champions. On another night a stubborn Doane team eame within two points of the B~bcats. By winning the 1950 NCC crown the Bobcats have gained distinction for which the school is justly proud. That Peru has won another basketball championship isn't a new experience, for the 'C'ats come from a long line of champions. Our present Bobcats have upheld a tradition that dites all the way back to the early twenties. The 1921 Peru cagers won their last game of that season and weren't beaten in collegiate competition until 1926 after an amazing 54-game win;f~g streak, Nebr. Wesleyan. finaly broke the ice by upsettillg the 1926 quintet 16-12. The Peru team was in the na.tional spotlight during the undefeated years of 1922 '23 '24 and '25 and held the natlonal re~ cord of successive wins at the time of their defeat in 1926. A s.hakeup of conferences during the depression kept compettition at a low ebb. Peru hit its stride again in 1937 by gaining

a tie for the championship of the new co:lierence, consisting of the f<lur Si ate Teachers Colle::es, Wayne. Kearney, Chadron and Peru. The 1937 tie was followed by championships in 1938, 1939, ~'ld another tie in 1940. The Bobcats were ,.,ctors again 1~1 1942, 1943 and ; 246. The Nebraska Col12ge Conference was formed in the spring of 1946. Hastings won the first basketball title in 1947, and from there on it has been the Bobcats all the way with three straight chanpionships. The conference now consists of nine teams. forcing each team through a long 16game schedule, which is much tougher than the 0ld four teameight game system. Since, 1938, the highlight of the basketball season has been the NAIB Basketball Tournament at Kansas City. Peru has represented Nebraska at.the NAIB tour;iament eight times which is an allNA!B record for Bobcat cagers. Two other schools, Simpson College, Iowa, and South Dakota Wesleyan, have gone seven times. Peru made its first trip to th~ annual tournament at Kansas City in 1938 when it was beat'"n: 66-60 by Marshall College, winner the previous year. The Bobcats had their best tournament year in 1939 when they won three games before losing to San Diego in the semi..:finals. Trinity College, Highland College and Warrensburg all fell before the Bobcats that year. In 1940 Peru defeated Augustna, Ill., in the first round of the tournament but lost to Maryville in the second game. In 1942 Evansville, Ind., defeated. Peru in the first round, the Evansville team was one of the tourney favorites. Peru lost the first game in their last four trips to the tournament, in 1945 +o George Peperdine in 1942, tG Marshall College (the defending champions) and to st. Thomas last year.

Convo Notes l.ast Thursday's convo was an enjoyable review of music down through the years. Swing, blues, Dixieland jazz, and other types were harmonically illustrated by the Music Department's dance band, now increased to an impr~sive 13 members. Sandwiched in between the various melodies were explanations a'1d introductions by the grrnp's director, J. Quinn Lotspe;ch. Trudie Togg.weiler thorOl'[;bly aroused the male population with her rapturous rendition of "Embraceable You." The band finished up with a swingy version of the Color Song with the audience joining in.

Music Clinic Held Here February 25 Victor H. Jindra, Peru's directc·r of orchestra and strings, conducted an all day clinic for those instruments on February 25. More than forty students from six high schools, Beatrice, Fawne~ City, Dawson, Auburn, Falls City and Peru, took part in the clinic work. C. M. Stucklike, Beatrice; H. Art Schrepel, Pawnee City; Louis A. Burkel, Jr., Falls City; Ralph Chatelain, Auburn, Alice Emery, Dawson, and Mr. Jindra orgai:.ized an orchestra association while in attendance at the Peru sponsored clinic.

Juniors and Seniors Lay Plans for Spring Dance At a joint meeting of the junior and senior classes it was decided that they would sponsor an informal dance on the campus, April 21. Any and everyone may attend the dance. The music will by furnished by Lee Williams and his orchestra. The admission price has not been decided on as yet.

The Peru Bobcats wound up the 1950 season here last Friday nigJ.it with a 59-46 victory over the Wesleyan Plainsmen. The game which started as a fast, smooth game ended in 2 rough and tumble affair. The \Vesley'1n qnintet committed 23 personal fouls and the Bobcats cashed in for 2, total of 23 free throws. The Peru team, in an effort to stop Del Miller, high scoring \Vesley;m forward, found a shifting zone defense very effective . The Bobcats employed a man to man defense against ,\1.le2leyan before.

Jokes ??? A would-be grand opera singer asked a German music professor to hear her. He played her ac.companiment and listened to her for a few minutes but she sang so far off key that he finally slammed down the piano and refused to continue; "What's the matter?" inquired the lady in amazement. "'Don't you like my singing?" "Der trouble mit your singing, Madam," asserted Herr Professor, "is dot vedder I play on der vite keys or vedder I play on der black keys, you sing in der cracks." The census taker asked a hearty mountaineer how many children he had. "Four," was the firm answer, "and, by cricky, that's all I'm going to have, too." "Why so emphatic?'.'' asked the census taker. "I ain't forgettin' what I read in the almanac," said the mountaineer. "It said there that every fifth child born is a Chinaman." It was the morning for free mental exercise and the teacher was putting her little class through a bit of abstract training. "Now, Willie," asked she, turni.(lg to a freckled youth in the end row, "if a policeman found a watch. on a tramp, what would you naturally infer about the watch?" "That it was on the bum!" came the prompt answer:

A very thin fullback was annoyed by the attention of a small dog during a football game. At last, when play had moved to the other end, the back turned and shouted to the spectators, "Whoever owns this dog might call him off.' A voice responded, "Come here, Spot. Them ain't bones, boythem's legs.''

Harth has had many well known instructors. The la le Albert ' Sack was the first, to be followed later by such renowned artists as Joseph Fuchs, Herman Risen. and Felix Eyle. National reccgnition was gained by Harth when he won the 1943 Noumberg Foundation Award. Later, his performance on the "Telephone Hour" brought him even greate: renown. Sidney Harth has also been called upon in a pinch hitting capacity. For example, a mu.sic club n Wheeling. W. Va., was desperately in need of a concert artist on 12 hours notice. The club chairman ;:;sked Sidnev to act as a subs::itute which he, was only too glad to do. Sidney worked out a program by telephone, then boarded a night train to Wheeling. H2 was on hand next morning to give one of the most successful concerts of his career. Fucther oroof of Sidnev's adaptability i~ the fact that 'while still in high school he played a (:racked \'iolin in a concert, yet won the highest award. This words of one of the judges about · sums up Sidney's life. Said he, "The red head is very talented, he should go far.'"

Dr . .Joseph E. A. Alexis, chairman of the department of modern languages at the University of Nebraska, gave a talk, Thursday, March 9, at the college auditorium, on the shortcomings of present day spelling, His idea was that words should be spelled just like they sounded, instead of spelling them the old traditional ways. As time has passed by, the pronunciation o f w o r d s h a s changed but the spelling has remained the same. If the spelling were changed to match the pronunciation it would be a great economy on thought, time, and effort. This would enable a person to spend more time and thought on what he was doing, instead of spending it on the traditional way of spelling everything. This has already been done in Norway and Sweden apparently with success, and Dr. Alexis thinks that in time every nation will change to the simplified way. Dr. Alexis sta.ted that there was no better w2y to have a ,good understanding of people thai~ by just learning their language.

Kadelpians To Tuition Changed For Nonresidents Indiana Mt:et Beginning next fall there will be a change in the fees paid by all Eon-resident students. A mbinurri charge of $5.00 per semester will be required for all outcf-stale students, but no studmt v:El be charged rnore than his s:ate cha:·ges non-residents. At the last meeting of the State Normal Board they passed this ruling, which is a step beyond the old state law in regard to the charge for non-resident students going to state colleges. The only difference is that now there is a minimuu charge of $5.00. Previously, out-of-state students were charged the same fees as Nebraska residents. This will affect out-of-state students only

Trip To K.C. By Sharon Ocker Kansas City was a lively place Monday and Tuesday of last week. That mstropolis seemed to be fairly teeming with book-less students of this institution. who, instead of working on their favcrite assignments, were soaking up Missouri atmosphere and intently gazing at the (ahem!) ·scenery. Most of the local visitors finally wound up al the Peru-Central Missouri basketball game on Monday night. The referee had the ;mpression, or so it seemed, that a whistle was an instrument fo be blown only when there was nothing else going , on, be~ause they only blew theirs about five times each. Their attitude was something like t he tobaccochawin' farmer who went to the city to visit a rich relative. The butler kept shoving a spittoon in front of him so he wouldn't mess un the floor with his Copenhagen. The farmer kept moving, the butler continued to shove the utensil in front of him,, and finally the irate hick quipped, "Ifn' vou don't take that dang thing awa\· from me, I'H spit in it ' The differenre was tl·:at the referees 'FOlJ\d h~ ':he plct:vers hold the b?.H f]~M o·,·er it. roll i\1'0unc1 on t 110 fl0m'. etc .. and wonl.d seem to

Don Quixote Unearthed As thousands and thousands of people are present in our city auditorium for every basketball game there, (well, a couple of hundred anyhow) Don will give his readers some of his impressions of the game as has been gleaned from attendance at these contests during this year so far. Don has been bewildered trying to fo!lo\V the game and is something like the gal friend ole boy took to the game: I took Hortense , To the basketball game: I knew she was dense, But dense is no name. She said, "They're thick Or full of corn; The ball can't stick 'Cause the besket's torn." During the game you will see our team shooting at one basket and, later on, our team will be shooting at the opponent's basket at the other end of the floor. We must be ahead by that time and feel generous enough to shoot baskets for them and raise their score. 'Tis a fine gesture. The. fellows in striped shirts run around the floor among the players. These gents are the o.ffiCials and run the game. They must be chosen for their poor eyesight because so many of the spectators, away off at the ends of the floor always seem to call plays better than these two men right on the floor. When these officials call fouls the keen-eyed rooters farther away tell the officials wherein a mistake was made in calling the fouls. It's truly remarkable to meditate unon bow many men of extraordinary vision seem to collect at a b;isketball r;ame. Our band and section add much to the local g"8mes. Don is amused sometim~s at visiting cheer leaders whose choice of cheers is sometimes decidedly out

As baseball is no played during the wintertime here, there should be some extra catchers' masks lying around for use at these basketball games by the onlookers. Often a high, misplaced pass goes over the heads of all the players and smacks some spectators in the puss. If he is watching th~ play he can duck, but it generally plops him while he is facing the other way talking to his seat-mate. Don has alway.,;; wondered what happens at the end of the basketball games when he sees both teams get into a huddle for awhile. He hears nothing coming from their direction. Maybe they. are answering roll call by the\ captain to see if all the team and subs are there. Might be that the game would be so one-sided that the losing or the winning team might be short four or five play- . ers. These subs might ha,-e left·· the bench and wandered down- 1 town for coffee.

Misour! Central, champions of Missouri colleges, had a tough t1me beating the Peru Bob.:1ts 68-59 in a first round NAIB tour• nament game at Kansas City, 01 ;""cnday night, March 13. The Missourians led at the half time only 36-35 and had trouble with the Kylemen until the closing minutes. The main thorn in the Missourians' side was Omer Meeker, who probably played his best game of the year. Hitting 27 points for Peru, Meeker was the outstanding player of the game. Peru tied the score 42 all on Vossen's fielder after fiv·e minutes of the second half. Five minutes later Meeker put Peru , ahead 50 to 49. The taller Missouri team managed to pour in enough in the closing minutes to ;,;p the Peruvians by 9 points. The nine point margin over Peru was rather small, for the Central team went on to defeat Hamline, defending champs of the tourney, by 10 points in the second round and Central Washir:gton by 12 points in their third game.

It kJoked somewhat strange, but yet quite a bit like a word he was familiar with. Oh; yes, he remembered, the 4H club used to serve it at the annual picnic, burlesqued hamburgers. He was a bit bewildered when they charged him a dollar to get in.

Elmer was very fortunate in his choice of an institution of higher education for it boasted a winning basketball team. Almost every year this basketball team received an invitation to a tournament in a large mid-western ·city. Tihs particular year the team was successfnl again, and Elmer decided the thing to do was to follow the local ;:ithletes ar;i.d help add to the spirit which is so necessary in contests of this kind. Of course. Elmer had never been to the city before. Upon his arrival he was amazed, and after his first hour found himself with a stiff neck just from standing and looking at the tall buildings. Brother Humphry had gone to a city once, Ong, I believe it was, and came back with many tales of congested areas. Elmer had never believed Humph, however he was a believer now. After gazing at more tall buildings and wandering around a bit Elmer felt a bit hungry. Night was beginning to fall, and knowing that Missouri, (where this particular city was located) was famous for its mules, he thought he had better be careful in his

Elmer, being a true Nebraska boy, left immediately. After such an experience you can be assured that Elmer was mighty cautious about his next stop. He picked out a spot with a name he knew, JOE'S.

Registrar L. B.

Building and Grounds Superentendent has been notified that his crew, beginning June 1, is to fill the large gully, directly south of the heating plant, with coal, (which will be received through special shipments from the Pitt Penn Coal Company of Pittsburgh, Penn.) Mr. Samples state that the Pitt Penn Coal Company guarantees this coal to be of the highest quality, it being formed only from choice bits of fern, tender bits of dinosaur meat and supplemented with just the right amount of leaves to make it the best coal buy in Pennsylvania. When the gully has beer.I filled it will be covered with wirt, so that it will be ready next fall, when the youthful mining aspirants try !l10ir hand at open pit mining. President Nicholas has okeycd ,this operation, calling it "Educational for the students and useful to the college in that next winter Peru will have no coal shortage worries, for it will have its own coal mine." The only stipulation Dr. Nicholas made was that all enrolled in course 371 must sign an affadavit agreeing not to join the 1 United Mine Workers union or form a union of their own.

Dr. Nicholas an"unced at his regular press con' ence yesterday. ·:The three story structure of ' lian marble and Mi::souri Rivcobblestone will be erected the hill east of the football ·Id, directly .above the scoreard. Tentatively, it has been med Hill Hall in honor of · eone named either Hill or ·n no one seems to remember idh. so it was decided to play '· e ~nd use both names, one of ;~m migi1t be ,an alumnus.

The contract for 'acting and leveling has been arded to List and Clark who ' ilt the Peru dikes. ,,Something of an innovation is 'ing introduced in that the only 'cess to Hill Hall will be a flight 500 steps; no automobile road m be built. The cafeteria will located on the third floor ·of e hall. It is believed that the ercisc of climbing the 574 eps to the cafeteria three times day will greatly improve stuent health and stimulate ap-

petites so that they will eat more, the cafeteria will make more profits and the extra profit will pay the cost of the building in from one to two years, then make the college financially in-0.ependent of the state legislature . thereafter. To keep costs down, most of the suites will be furnished very simply, having only a bath,> bedroom and combined living and -Oining room. However, a few apartments will be equipped 1with private swimming pools and -0ther simple luxuries for those affluent students who can pay ..$2.50 a week rent. The housemother's apartment will be soundproofed with cork lining cm the walls and double doors to keep out the noise of typewriters being used late in -evening. Some time ago the Omaha press erroneously reported that the new dormitory was to be errected at Wayne instead of at Peru. This mistake has created considerable misundersta n d i n g and started a nuinber of disturbing rumors. There is absolutely no truth in the report that Dean Quelle won the new building from Wayne's president in a canasta game. Equaly false is the widely circulated story that Dr. Nicholas traded . some second hand professors and 500 oak trees for the building.

Bond Deceives Nobel Prize Peru rec~eivccl eve1i. greater re110\Vn than being 1.vrittc:n up in Iicliday JVlagc1zine, \Vhen Dr. Donel \1'8S awarded the annual Nobel Pri;:e for making the gr-2atest contribution to useless knowledge. T'.1e aware, was made because of the findings reported in his recently published bool; "The Sex Life of the Amoeba." Based upon nearly three weeks of research, the 784 page volume describes the hitherto unknown courtship ceremonies of the amoeba. Popular Science Magazine says that Dr. Bond's discoveries have upset the entire scientific world and have pushed science clear back to Aristotle. The volume was nublished bv the Spring Mills PZ1blishing c~. which also manufactures cotton goods.

Many years ago ih the sma!T town of Shoofi!z, Russia, a small lad of 14 began his career as a violinist. The child prodigy later flowered into a master musician. Concerts in Vienna provided a scholarship for him to attend a advance violin classes at Heidelberg University, Leipzig, Germany. Upon gra,duation he became an assistad professor and then a professor in Heidelberg's department of music. By popular demand, he retired from his teaching career and began to make tours on the continent. Victor Hermansky Jindralovitch, now a renowned violinist, contemplated an appearance in the United States but was forced to abandon his plans when the Iron Curtain dropped. Apparently Russia was going to keep him for themselves. An abortive attempt was made to escape but he was apprehended in Paris, France, then did a bit of duty in the salt mines. Immediately after the war, he disguised himself as a Russian spy and came to America. Through a quirk of circumstance he became third violinist in the New York Philharmonic. Naturally, it wasn't long before his genius was discovered. Comrade Jindralovitch is now appearing in colleges all over the United States. Peru Slate Teachers Ci!lege is indeed fortunate to have him appear for a concert on April 4, 1950. He will be accompanied on the piano by a poor relation. St. James of Levitt.

The NEA Bulletin of March, 1950, contains an article of tre. mendous importance to all college students. This article, written by Dr. Paul Schultze of Columbia University deals with the reading difficulties of most underg.raduates. Dr. Schultze stresse.s in the main, that most studests have little, if any, comprehension of that which they read. Comprehending the structure of tl::\,e whole, m1derstanding .the relation of the parts to the whole, and evaluating the whole and its parts in terms of one's own experience asd know~ ledge. ' A primary reason among the many that exist for careful read::: ing, is that many present day publications abound with untruths, half truths, and vicious propaganda. Faculty members of this as wen as other colleges and uniyersities, have long complained abou1 the inability o:l' students to properly evaluate what they read. "Why'' said one prominent scien~e instructor, "If the book said the moon was made of green cheese, they'd never give it a secosd thought." It is especially true in some sectors of the joilrnalistic and publishing field, that a few wscrupulous individuals, both writers and printers, are taking advantage of the slipshod reading habits of most Americans.

FSTC campus was s.tunned last 1Friday when it was learned that Peru has "'been ruled out of the N.C.C. Basketball. conference. Some students even forgot to go home for the weekend. Peru State T·eachers College has been asked to resign from the Nebraska College Conference. Conference officials maintain that any school winning the ba~k:Citball title three years in succession must seek competition elsewhere. \Vhile attencUng a conference meeting last week coach Newt Kyle became involved in a rather heated distjussion. It seems tha; a number of the conference schools have decided that Peru plays a class of basketball be-"yord their reach. Midland, York ::in.cl Kearney were most insistent that Peru' resign. Hastings· and Wes~eyan had a somewh'lt different attitude. They were wavering between two schools of

thought. The first, that they might by some super power, defeat Peru sometime and gain unhearp. of glory. The second, that they too were tired of losing. Some members of the conference even went so far as to indicate that arrangements for Newt Kyle's, dismissal might give· Peru a chance to stay in the N.C.C. Of course, the provision .in addition to that was Peru must not ·win ,more than seven games in any one basketball season. The Peru Atheltic Department is still undecided upon the course of action to be taken. Rumor has it that the Bobcats have 'an application in for membership in the ,Big Seven. Or perhaps a home and home series with BradleJ; University of Illinois, and outer colleges of such caliber will follow this great tragedy. In any event it is almost certain that Newt Kyle will be at the wheel of the Bobcat basketball machine next ·season.

Don't laugh, even though it may seem silly, other people tell of their liv,es. Why can't I? · You probably think that a thumb tack hasn't anything to do, that it is an easy life, and numerous other things, but you humans are so wrong. Every morning I am plunged to the hilt in the administration bulletin board waiting for some nev1 announcements so I can be pulled out and stick back in the board. H isn't so bad resting qut here but when I have some heavy paper under me I often get a charley horse in the solar plexis. As far as I am concerned this is the most painful occupation there is, but what else can a thumb tack do? You never read in the paper about a tack beceming famous. Sometimes jokes are made about tacks but they are not jattering in the least. Humans come by every <lay, looking over me to see the announcements. All day long they talk about the hard tests they passed or flunked, their shortage or money and other common problems, but little do they realize the sad life of a tack. Some of my best friends will pass ·away today. No they don't die the same way as humans, each tack tarnishes and then simply breaks. When we break our bodies ar·e thrown to the trash without even a funeral. Some ,of my more unfortunate friends have been forced out of this closed in bulletin board to serve the board over in front of the library. This cold open board offers solace to no one and my friends live a short life. These cold winters do something to you. I shouldn't complain though because I am on the east side of the board and get the first few rays of sunlight that come up in the morning. The sunlight seems to stimulate me in some. way. It makes me feel as if I am free for a minute. Here comes the lady out with the new poster for today. Perhapps I should say goodbye now, because through her roughness I may be broken today.

Adventurer To Address Convocation

Falls Citians Sweep District Drama Tourney

The Naticnal Assemblies of Los Angeles will bring a famous adventurer to convocation on April 13. The coming of Delbert Harter, the "Round-the-world Traveler," promises to be a red letter day locally. Del Harter typifies the Amercan youth-optimistic, adventurous; willing to meet the world more than half way. In working his way through the University of California at Los Angeles, he sang with a dance orchestra; "slung hash" on sorority row, did commercial deep sea diving on the Frisco Bay bridge construction, piloted a plane for dusting farm crops, and even tried a parachute jump at the Sacremento .Airport. An all round athlete, he played football, boxed, rowed on the crew, and high jumped. Versatility marked his recreation as it helped him in making a living. Fifth-eight different foreign countries have welcomed him in the past two years, and his experiences in college helped him greatly in gaining this informal education, through which he has learned the human touch which makes the whole world kin. Del tells of his ambition to go through college and the way he accomplished it. and his experienecs after finishing it. He had an offer to fly for the Spanish government, saw Christmas in Bethlehem contrasted with Arab-Jewish riots, watched the historic meeting of Schulschniggs and Mussolini in Venice, he saw the Ethopian expeditionary forces return, and the Coronation in London, mimic war in Berlin, travelled 2,500 miles through Russia, witnessed weird religious rites in India, saw leper colonies, the famous ruins of Angkor-Vat, the bombing of Canton, and relates' personal sensations when his train was bombed enroute to Hong Kong. Eager to share his experiences, Harter tells of the difficuHies surmounted and the rewards given to enterprise and courage when coupled with a personality that truly wins friends. His 24 years have brought him much and he is happy in passing it on. Mr. Harter brings his story right up to the minute with his first hand stories of his experiences in the r~cent war in Japan and the Pacific Islands.

Editorial Those of you who will say "Poof!-What does the Student Council. amount to anyway?" should stop reading right now. The aforementioned readers are not to be commended for their attitude. Education has come a long way in this country. Colleges now are recognized to be of, by and for the students. However, this progress entails an obligation on the part of the students. If a student council were unnecessary we wouldn't have one. But, the accomplishments of our Student Council clearly show that it is a needed group. The resuits of the regular and first two run-off elections show that the job of nominating was done well. The candidates 'we;·e very closely bunched in the ballot count. All this is fine, but the perc21> tage of students who voted, compared to enrollment, is abysmally low. When only thirty per cent of the student body cast ballots in an election something is decidedly wrong. We assume that you students have an interest in this campus; your presence here indicates that. It is natural that thos2 who can ;represent the student body best be elected to the Council. In the future let's remember that these elections are visible symbols of ou' way of life and are not to be neglected. No one should need to be told that our greatest enemy is indifference.

L.S~A. iThe last few Wednesday evenings the L.S_,A. has been attending Lenten ~services in Aubu.rn. Some of the members leave early in the evening, eat before church time, take part in the services, and finally come back to their old "haunts." Others go over for the services only. Quite a few have been making the weekly trip.

l.R.C. At the regular meeting held by the IRC a short business meeting was carried on and Dr. Brown read a letter he had received on behalf of the club from the Carnegie Institute, which congratulated the club on the fine work it has· been doing. Kenny Walters played two trumpet solos and the campus trio played several songs. This trio is made up of Omer Meeker, Dick Steffen and Fred Clements. The highlight of the meeting was a talk given on Puerto Rico by Orlando Roilriguez, which demonstrated that many students views on that country ·were not all co.rrect.

The Foreign ·Language Club furnished the program for the convocation of March 23, which consisted of a German and Spanish playlet. The German playlet was written by Otto Rath and Robert Boesel, with the following cast: Robert Boesel, Otto Rath, Evelyn Boseck, Marlan Downey, and Jake Samler. Bernie Taylor interpreted the German into . English for the audience. The Spanish playlet cast were as the following: Ralph Walker, Burt Mahoney, Orland Rodriquez and Alvin Schwartz. Schwartz interpreted the little playlet for everyone.

Spring Dance The junior and senior classes will sponsor an informal dance Friday, April 21. The dance is to be held in the college gymnasium with Lee Williams Orchestra furnishing the music. This is the same orchestra that f.upnlied the rhythm at the Snow Whirl. T11e admissio!1 charge will be $1.00 per person. Students, alumni and faculty are invited.

After deep study and research · in various psychology books I hm·e acquired the art of interpreting dreams. Although no material gains have been rnade so far, I understand a certain Biblical character gained considerable good fortune bv interpreting dreams for the King. You. will recall the King's dreams about the seven fat cattle emerging from the sea, interpreted as seven years of plenty, and the seven lean cattle which meant seven years of famine. It seemed rather easy so I have taken i up, and my fees so far have been very small. Upon finding that psycholo· gists have stated 1hat the dream of the maladjusted are the most interesting. I immediately in· vited my friends to relate' thei dreams to me. (They must b the most maladjusted individua on earth.) My first patient, George Harr Sleepalo\, complained of alway d re a mi n p; about hard wor These dreams gave George verv aclite fear of sleen. H wo~ld ~ometimes go day; wi no sleep to keep away from su horrible dreams. This indicate that George definitelv h2.d a fea of hard work. even during hi waking. hours. My advice to hi was 2 more vie-orous cl~y ·wher he tired himself out, thus result ing in sound sleeping nights.

Rural Ed. Students To Visit Field

Life in 219 by Al A reign of quiet settles over Pelzell Hall. Yes, its 9:00 and time for all noise making to cease. Both first and third floors are taking their time to quiet down but already second is peace and tranquility centered around Room 219. This room is a bustle of activity until nine and then noises vanish and students begin study~ng. Of course since practically all studying is already done, by ten all lights are turned out and everyone turns in and gets nine hours sleep. Next morning, bright and early, 219 rolls out. Because of the abundance of sleep, they have no trouble getting to their 7:50's. Between classes they come back to the room and study. This enables all boys to pull through at least 7 hours credit, although it may be D-.

Nineteen students of the Ru,ral Education department at Peru will be in widely scattered rural schools, April 10 to 14, observing methods used in those seats of learning, the problems they face, etc. Of the big group taking the field trip, 17 are girls and 2 are boys. Two will be in Iowa and the rest will be in Nebraska. Following are the names of the students, the teachers helping them and the counties where the schools are: Colleen Bates, Mrs. Lila Reese, Pawnee County; Mary Ann Becker, Mrs.' Arnold Koeppel, Nemaha qounty; Donna Calloway, Miss Alta Rhoten, Otoe; Edna Dirks, Mrs. Siefkin, Otoe; Ronald Fletcher, Mrs. Henry Tackett, Fremont County, Ia; Artis Haswell, Miss Ann Inman, Cass; Beulah Holman, Mrs. Ma r y Black, Gage; Bobette Kempton, Mrs. Beulah McAdams, Nemaha; Janice Krueger, Miss Sharon Brown. Richardson; Jean Krueger, Mrs. Joe Smith, Richardson; Don:ia Mettling, Mrs.

After all we're here to learn something, not just to get grades. What good are grades if you don't learn anything? Oh, well, I've almost convinced myself of that anyway. At noon the boys are ready to eat a large meal because they have mastered the art of not worrying. You can do this only by remaining in college two years on a D~ average. If you can do this your co!lege life is not ·wasted. You have gained S'elf-perservance. Aflter eating the large nourishing meal, consisting of bread and coffee, it is necessary and practical to partake of a short nap. A growing boy needs· his rest you know. Then it is necessary to get the next days lessons. Always striving ahead, hoping to make honors someday.

The aforesaid students and their department head, Miss Alma Ashley, wish to take this opportunity to show their appreciation to the rural teachers who are assisting them .. Only through their cooperation is this program possibl€.

'Then it is time for classes, and for a change, you decide to attend. At class you become engaged in a heated discussion which thoroughly upsets your stomach ache. It is days of this kind that make you wish it were Saturday. Undaunted by your previous experience you struggle back to room 219 and begin studying with the thought of succeeeding in your mind. Because of being upset, on top of your large dinner, you skip supper. By skipping supper you are able to devote three outside hours to every lesson. These outside study hours are necessary for high grades and to be a success in college you must have passing grades. All in all its a long hard struggle, but supposedly well worth what you gain.

Home Talent Play Presented April 27-28 Miss Helen Tirrill, professional stage director of Kansas City, has arrived in Peru to assist the local V.F.W. post in presenting an outstanding comedy, "Aunt Silly." The show will be presented in the college auditorium the evenings of April 27 and 28, at 8 :00 p .m. Casting as to part has not yet beeri completed but locally pr!orninenit businessmen, colle"e faculty members and a few PSTC students are slated to comprise the cast. The proceeds realized from the ticket sale will be used locally for charitable purposes. Need.less to say, "Aunt Silly," incidentally not a woman, seems to be a natural for hilarious entertainment. In fact this is the opportunity to see familiar faces as you never again will.

The New Spring Look by Sharon Ocker A poll conducted on the campus last week disclosed the following information on how those carved up craniums are acquired. Ten were received from barbers, five by their parents' unwilling hands, three due to flying saucers (married men of course), two by lawn mowers, and one by the unlicensed expert, C. B., esq. (he 11Cfuses to reveal the type of prehistoric weapon used for commercial reasons) was probably the most famous here in quite a spell. Wishing to get the low down on the high-brows, I decided to assemble all the owners of these handsome haircuts. I proceeded to ask all those having them to meet me in the shine parlor (the closest thing we have to a barber shop on the campus.) After 26Yz minutes of pruning, brushing, primping, combing, etc. the members of the distinguished group finally settled down for the discussion. We all decided to form a club :and hold an election. Naturally ,Omer Meeker was elected presii!ent. Be has let his top roots ;grow out since the basketball :season. but promised to be half skinned by the time he would have to take office next year. With the election over, J asked the men to tell me the reasons for their fuzz cuts: (1) to keep hair out eyes; ears, noses and mouths while swimming etc., (2) to avoid having to comb the brush pile four or five times per day, (3) lo scare away dormitory pests and boogie men, and (4) to cool off the upper story during a long day of exasperating mental conflict. That was about all I found out as the members of the club had to leave--everyone but me having a date., Incidentally there was one girl present, but she was kicked out immediately after it was discovered that her hair was over an inch long. The crewcutters expressed regret at doing fris, but rules are rules. The reqrirements for membership state

clearly: hair not over an .inch long, a course in prevention and treatment of injuries, at least two scars obtained during the cutting, and at least a "D" average. Now, I possess a crew cut, but have never owned a real, honest to goodness fizz cut. I wanted to find out how they are administered so I traveled to a nearby town and asked the local expert .how a real "blue plate special" is accomplished. "First of all," he said, "I tie the victim-I mean customer-in the chair with three inch wide, one inch thick. patent leather straps. I have to put a large cushion on the head rest of the chair. because sometimes they get violent and attempt to bust their brains on the rest. After all, \hose things cost $5 wholesale, and I can hardly afford to buy ·a new one every year (he averages one fuzz cut per annum). Then I place an iodine treated cloth around his neck. used for monping the blood off his head if I get a wee bit to close with my seal-I should say clippers. 1 ·just zip it off about a third of an inch above the bone, then shave the rest off. All my patients were satisfied. for they never came back for another. Say. you need a trimming, don't you? Whereupon, and none too soon, I jumped out the nearest transom into my still running doodlebug and gunned her for the Peru hills. Everything was all right until I reached the corner coming into town. The steering gear fell apart and I went straight ahead. The machine hit a ditch and I flew through the windshield at top spe2d. As I began to waken in the hospital, I muttered, "Wow, that was a close shave!" "Yep." replied the doctor, "So close, in fact, that you'll never need another haircut as long as you live." Boy, is it cold-!

Vetville News Bob Duncan has signed a contract to teach this fall at Franklin. Nebraska. The Vetville softball team is slowly getting organized and will be ready to play their first game very soon. Ken McMasters is the ,organizer. Diz Miller found himself a bargain in the new 1934 Dodge that be traded for. During the holidays nearly everyone in Vetville went somewhere. so we'll just say that they all got back safely. With the coming of spring most of this community is in their back yards, digging them up and Qlanting gardens.

Lawns Being Seeded The campus renovation project is keeping pace with spring this year. The lawns adjacent to the Administration Building, Gymnasium, Library and Science and Music Halls are in'' the process of being reseeded. During the period in which the gym was rebuilt, numerous heavy trucks were driven across the lawns and when necessary building materials were stored there, leaving said grassy areas denuded. Needless to say, the sight of a green well kept lawn will be most welcome.

Observations of Census ~numerato The 17th Decennial Census o the United States is more tha started in the town of Peru. most of you know, the studen in the dormitories are considere as part of the population of th town. There should be a substan tial increase shown on the popu lation sign at the scuth end o the Avenue. The most logical question fo a student to ask. after he ha been told t!lat he is a Peruvia is whether or not he can vote i the city elections. All we can d is try it. Naturally. all person must qualify as to age and resi d~nce before they can vote any where. The rest is up to you. To.say the least the experiences of the census enumerator ar different. Your enumerator wi probably be the only man i town who has met and talk to about everyone in Peru. E eryone is different. As yet, the have been no near fatalities o accidents. People are friend and seem to be waiting for yo There has been no coffee or cak waiting inside. but there h been some very interesting co verrntion. At only on~ house w entrance refused. At a later dat 8.nother try was made and th interview was completed. Sh did not want the enumerator t ~ome in then because her hus band was not at home. No information will be avail able to anyone until it is official ly released by the governmen This should be done in about si months. The enumeration of Pe ru uroner will be completed a bout the last of this week.

Ollie Mayfield and Don Anderson have been keeping themselves busy coaching the Peru Prep baseball team. Practice sessions have been few and far between because of weather conditions. Their first game with Essex, Ia., was played April 14, when they were beaten 14 to 1. With the aid of some good weather the team should round into better shape soon. So far there are three more games on the schedule. They are: Sterling, here; Louisville. here; and Sterling, there. There are also tentative games scheduled. They ,are: Hamburg, Ia., Essex, Ia., and possibly Nebraska City.

With the end of spring football drawing to a close, plans are being made for a game with the Omaha University Indians, at Omaha on May 6. The Bobcats have been working out for about four weeks, and according to word received from Head Coach Al Wheeler and Assistant Coach Paul Gilbert, the team morale and spirit is higher that it was at the start of practice. Ball handling, faking and func'amental blocking has been stressed in the last two weeks in order to impro\·e the offensive punch of the Bobcats. With the opening 0£ football season next fall it is believed the Peru Bobcats will be the team to watch in the Nebraska College Conference race next fall.

Summer Jobs

Are You With Us?? News is a funny thing. For one issue the office is piled high with all shapes and forms of usable material. In fact, sometimes the journalism class Has extreme difficulty in getting in and out of the Pedagogian office because of the excess copy. Then again you come to a week like <this '.when virtually nothing is going 011 around the college neighborhood. Since felonies, misdemeanors, murders and the like are against the law. an ace reporter has quite a bit of trouble stirring up some interesting news. As a last resort, the publication may be filled out with fillers sent out by the advertising companies. ·Needless to say the fillers are not the best reading in the world, and about three appearances of this kind of material will bring the students and faculty down on our ears. So if an issue of this paper fails to live up to your expectations, remember it isn't all our fault. Bear with us, and get out and make some news. If its acceptable to our expert censor (guess who?) we'll be glad to use it. Remember the Square Dance on April 27.

Applications will continue to be received by the above named Board of Examiners. until the needs of the service are met. Application forms and copies of examination announcemnts may be obtained at first and second class post offices, or from the Director, Eighth U.S. Civil Service Region, Post Office and Customhouse, St. Paul 1, Minn.

In an emergency meeting last Saturday the State Normal Board appointed Dean R. A. Quelle executive head of Peru State College.

R. A. Quelle

The tragedy which occurred on the campus last week, has, we believe, been told in sufficient detail. In line with this policy we are printing only Dbituary sketches of Dr. Nicholas and Dr. Maxwell and campus plans for the future. Some college news has been omitted in this issue due to a lack of space.

Dr. Wayne O. Reed, State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Nebraska, addressed the special April 27 Convocation held to honor Dr. Nicholas and Dr. Maxwell. Dr. Reed outlined the contributions the two men had made to Education in Nebraska. He revealed that at the time Dr. Nicholas was offered the presidency of PSTC, he turned down offers of positions in larger ininstitutions with probabilities of greater personal opportunities. Dr. Reed told the convocation that Dr. Nicholas chose to come· to Peru because he wanted to share in and to help in the building of the famous Peru State traditions. To honor the memory of the two men. Dr. Reed suggested that a bronze plaque bearing their pictures be erected somewhere on the campus and that each year an award, to be called the Ni~holas, Maxwell award, be· given to that individual who had madf' tl1e greatest contribution: lo eduoati<ni <Juring 1that year and thus start another tradition. Dr. Reed. pointed out that the traditions that Peru now has are found in and demonstrated by those individuals who have attended Peru and acquired that sincere desire to serve the needs of the youth of our state. "It is not the walls and stone work, Dr. Reed said, "that build these traditions, but the people on the campus. It is the stud-ent's obligation to carry on these traditions of the past, and it is their good fortune to have the opportunity to create new ones."

the approximate number of students planning to become teachers, A short training course is given by Rex Floyd, Director of Special Services, to prepare the faculty members to answer the questions most frequently asked by the high ~chool students. The following is a list of the instructors and the counties they will visit: Filmore county, Mr. Miller; Thayer, Otoe and Nemaha counties, Mr. Floyd; Butler

Dr. W. L. Nicholas William L. Nicholas was born July 13, 1901, at Mason City, Nebr. His lifetime was devoted to the furtherance of education·. in his home state as a class room teacher, high school principal and superintetndent, c o l l e g e dean, state guidance director and president of Peru State Teachers College. He took up his duties in the latter position in 1946. Dr. Nicholas operated tis father's farm for several years after his high school graduation, then because of poor health, in 1924 he was forced to seek a more sedentary occupation. Although married and with one child, he entered Kearney State Teachers College in 1924, and after two years of schooling, during which he supported his family by doing common labor, he was hired as principal of schools at Tryon, Nebr. In 1928 he was elected superintendent, a position he held until 1932 when he resign~d to become superintendent at Garden County high school at Oshkosh, Nebr., where he remained until 1941. During this period, by attending summer sessions, he earned his B.S. degree which he received in 1930, and in 1937 his M.S. degree from Colorado State Teachers College at Greeley. He also did graduate work at Stanford University in the summer of 1938. In 1941 he went to Kearney State Teachers College as dean of men and director of placement. He continued his duties at Kearney until 1945. In 1943, the degree, Doctor of Education. was conferred upon him by Colorado State College of Education. During the year 1945-46, Dr. Nicholas served as Nebraska State Superintendent of Occupational Information. In the fall ·of 1946, Dr. Nicholas was elevated to the presidency of Peru State Teachers College and held that position until his death, April 25, 1950. Education was his life's work and it is interesting to note that in the last 25 years of his life, he was at all times either attending, teaching or supervising an educational institution. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Edith Nicholas, and his two daughters, Wanda Nicholas, who is teaching home economics at York, ·Nebr; and Mrs. Margaret Ellen Tegtman of Miami, Fla. He was a member of and active in the following organizaFollowing the tragedy many individuals and organizations sent mesages of sympathy to the college and families.

He expected to build the enrollment at Peru to arounrl 500 for next fall. At the time of his death, he was busy with plans for beautifying the campus with more shrubs and grass.

~ditorial ·Comment It seems fitting that we attempt to make some expression of our feelings concerning this thing which has happened to us and to offer sllitable expressions of sympathy to the bereaved families; but there.are .occasions when words seem only futile gestures totally :inadequate for the job they must do. This is such an occasion. We will not even try to say that for which there are no words. We wish we could. Nothing can say can alter that which ha6 hap· pened, but there is something we ca~ do; carry on. Both Dr. Nicholas and Dr. Maxwell believed that Peru served an important function in Education in Nebraska and the country. 'They believed Peru was destined to grow and to play an even more important role in the future; they believed it to be a fine school and they both worked steadily to make it even finer and were never satisfied that Peru was as good as it could be. The most fitting tribute we could pay them is to take up where they left off.1 Each of us, students and faculty members alike, can let it be known that Peru will go on. We can, and must continue encouraging others to come to Peru, and to perpetuate those traditions of which they were so proud. Much as we will miss them, we can and will carry on.

Green House

May 11-12

The greenhouse has been a campus landmark for more than a half century. The founder of this museum stocked it with several varieties of ferns, trees and shrubbery more than 50 years ago. It was not until nearly 25 years later than the tropical plants were ordered. In order for the tropical plants to do well the temperature must be kept between sixty ahd seventy degrees !Fahrenheit during the day and never below 50 degrees at night. Only once has the temperature fallen below 50 degrees when it killed many of the tropical plants. The greenhouse is heated by steam pipes running underneath the plants. Some of the tropical plants are a banana tree, Monstera or "Mexican breadftuit," the Philondenron plant whose leaves measure eight inches across, which is uncommon as the leaves usually only measure two inches ecross; Moses bullrush, fig tree, umbrella tree, floating fern and cycods. At one time a crocodile was kept in the pool at the greenhouse. No one seems to !mow what happened to it.

After breaking Ken Andrew's (former Bobcat) record •in the Peru Invitational last · week he repeated this feat at the ·Doan€ Relays. His 22 toot leap ·bettered that of Butler of Doane.

BACHELOR OF ARTS IN EDUCATION January 20, 1950

Confession by Sharon Ocker Nine months ·Of frustrations, hard ·labor (yeh?), cramming, etc., but with a lot of genuine fun and a little knowledge sandwiched in somewhere along the line (the latter through no fault of my own), that's what this first year of college has been for me. School (without classes) started for me two weeks earlier than· for most of the Peru pedagogues. Although I had never played organized football in my life, I decided to hke a "fling' at the sport. During the first week of practice I was instructe.d to attempt a tackle on a ball carrier, racing by, within a restricted area. After missing the elusive guy seven times out of seven (at least I batted 1,000) and winding UP with a bruised and grassstained noggin, I began to wonder what reasoning had caused me to participate. Nevertheless I stuck it out, and by -the time the season's finale rolled around, I was enjoying it. Having two weeks of bonebending out of the way, I and the rest of the "green freshies" shakily signed up for the fall term. I had not even settled down in my room when some of my domineering upperclassmen made it known to me that it was my duty to shine their shoes. Here I learned something, too. The word of my elders was law. Luckier than a few of my classmates, I slippedi by kangaroo court without any kickbacks.

I settled down to study following the first few weeks of commotion. A handbook provided by the student council reminded me that we should pick certain hours for study and stick to our schedules. I had a great deal of trouble finding time when there wasn't something better to do than study, so I decided to drop that evil once and for all. And my marks don't even show it. In fact, my grades were so low that they didn t print a report card for me. One thing that a student soon perceives in college is the old proverb with the new look, "The hand is faster than the eye, but the nose is the quickest of all." Just ask anyone who nose. But all foolishness aside, I've ~earned many valuable lesson$ '.in this year at PSTC .. Among them: Lessons should always be on time, that when you are in doubt whether to study or go out for a good time, its better to stay and work, that it doesn't do any good to cut class or convocation, that ten hours study per day is not too much, that you should leave females alone, agree with instructors, stay at the dorm every weekend, concentrate on orientation, and most of all, that this writer is as nutty as a banana split at Hill's drug store. I discovered also that when a college building is closed for business (monkey or otherwise) it should be left alone, regardless of whether there is an open win.dow or not, that in track a pulled muscle is a thing of the past, and that some people are so dumb they will believe anything (as evidenced by some reactions to our April Fool edition of the Ped). Summing it all up, I've found out in one year that the instructors here are proficient, the students are a swell bunch, the weather is terrible, and nine out of ten people can't pronounce my name correctly.

Special Students Preparing Aids for Teaching of Thrift in Public Schools A new subject has been introduced into the curriculum this summer; a seminar on thrift. It is sponsored by the Treasury department to promote the sale of bonds and stamps in the public schools. It is taught by Mr. l\fayfield. At Peru the study is being conducted for the 7th i!nd 8ih grade level. The purpose of the course is to teach thrift in all aspects of everyday living as well as that -Of saving money; such as the ·conservation of natural resour·ces, public and private property and personal belongings. To portray the idea of conservation of Iand, for instance,. such a classroom example may be used. Two mounds o f dirt representing hills, are placed on a table, and on one furrows are made around the hill as in contour plowing, ;and on the other the furrows are

made to run up and down the hill. Then water is poured down over these hills to illustrate the waste of land that will occur in the latter case. Gathering material and teaching aids is also andher purpose of this class, so that these students may go out and introduce such a course into their own classrooms. This same course is being taught on different grade levels at the other state teachers colleges and the university this summer. There are five in the class: Bob Brown, Mrs. Chase, Bob Kempkes, Bill Alexander, and Mrs. Epperson. These students have been given $90 scholarships by the Treasury department upon the recommendation of their superintendents to take thic class. They also receive four hours of college credit.

The International Relations Club met ·Wednesday, June 21, in the Music Hall. Presiding at the meeting was Jess Ray. A piano solo was ,played by Paul Parker, and an account of how the University of Nebraska operates its LR club was given by Joanne Buller.

The Lutheran student association had their first meeting on June 7 at Laura Neal Park. The following Wednesday the group met at the Music Hall for a discussion period. They plan to meet every Wednesday night in the Music Hall. All Lutheran students are cordially invited to attend.

Gage County The Gage County group has elected Shirley Tincher president and Freda Andreesen secretary and treasurer. Last week they picnicked in Neal Park with a weiner roast as the main attraction. Plans are being made for a game night to be held soon in the gym. The group is also planning to take part in the taient night program. Mr. David Mickey is sponsoring the group. Mrs. Mickey was a guest at the picnic.

A startling discovery was made last week. Statistics show that fifty per cent of the married population are men and, after consultation with my roommate's slide rule, I discovered that fifty per cent of the married population consists of women. This fact taken with the Freudian theory should indicate or should result in a situation that is not present on the Peru campus. Number of males available, 40. Number of females interested, 200. (Hot diggity!) But, all's quiet on the Peru Campus. While gambling my money away at Old Man River Days I noticed that a person now has two chances instead of one: A Chinaman's chance, a n d no chance at all. I might also add that a male has the same chances of getting a date. In fact it's getting so bad I believe these women came here for an educa+ion. Attention, women. The BobInn is not exclusive property of the elite members of Delzell. Come on dovvn and meet your fellow students before the cockroaches carry us off the place. I realize that it isn't entirely the women's fault. But some of these men have been lax in their dating because they're studying for their Bachelor degrees. Then we have this type of felJow in Delzell: Ollie; "What is the difference between a girl and a horse?" Mush; "I don't know." Ollie "I'll bet you have some swell dates." I asked my roommate the otlier day why he always flirts with the waitresses in the Bob Cat Den, He told me that he. was J!laying for big steaks. Then there is always the guy who thinks he is a "Lady Killer." The women take one look at him and they drop dead. While looking through the classified section of the paper the other day L happened to run upon these ads: WANTED: One sturdy rope, long enough to reach the ground from a three story building. Eliza l'vforgan Hall FOR SALR: One sturdy rope. Rm. 224, Delzell I happrned to hear a conversation between two summer school students, that went something like this, "I'll sure be glad when 1 this summer session is over for then I'll have only 12 more summers to go." This doesn't have anything to do with campus activities, but the word got around that the southern Eskimos use a different method of mo'ivating their dog teams: They yell "Mush you all."

NOTICE

Says Tuft, "Because the war interrupted the college grad's schooling, he is older than he used to be and often has a wife. The prospect as to how long he will remain with us may be af1ected by his wife's family, as well as his own." He also outlines six important steps to the right job:

1. Get aquainted with you. "Just what are your qualifications? Write them down and add up the score." 2. Look over the Field. "List the companies in your locality may have the job you're after . . . find out all you can ~bout each company and its key rnen." 3. Make your bid for an appointment. "The int2rview is the showdown. . . neabess coun'.s." 4. Sharpen your weapons. "You have a selling job ... like any good salesman you should know your product and your customer." 5. This is it. "Watch these Bs. Be on time; be alert; be articulate; be definite; be truthful." 6. Keep it alive. "Try for a follow-up appointment at a later date." Tuft also poses a brief quiz · for the jobseeker: are you a little embarrassed about looking for a job? Undecided as to just what kind of job you want? Do you think business and industry are agencies that operate to create job opportunities? If your answer to all three is "Yes," declares the RCA Victor Executive, "That's three strikes- so you're really out." Actuallly, he says, ooking for a job should be a ife'ime occupation. "If you're ooklng for just any job," he tates,, "most likely that's the you'll get."

Good Attendance for First Hour Dance About seventy-five students met for the first of the hour dances, held on Wednesday, June 21. Music was furnished by the juke box. It was felt by many that holding the dance at a somewhat later hour would be more convenient.

The Avenue Store soft ball team started rolling in high gear Monday night in the city soft ball league, beating the Cardinals 13-6. Shrader, for the Cardinals, held the Avenue Store for three innings, but then had to give way to "Fireball" Curtis Olson. Curtis, with not too good support, was in trouble the remaincier of the game.

Openings in

The students seem pleased with the chapel talks by members of the faculty. The students must not forget, however, that a teacher's powers are limited, and that sooner or later the best will talk out. Let us who are to be teachers remember that when we shall stand before classes, the less we say and the more we draw out of others, the nearer we shall come to ideal teachers, and that though there is a time to talk, there is also a time to lteep still; and that if we do not learn the latter we shall have the mortification of seeing our words fall on listless ears, and learn that we are considered dry. -State Normal Messenger 1898

Students Hear Woodwind Qtiintet One of the most unusual budget events of the season was a woodwind quintet from N.Y.C. It is seldom that on'e has an opL portunity to hear chamber music played by a woodwind group. The group was made up of 8 .flute. oboe, bassoon, clarinet and French horn. The group won great favor by playing "Pastorale" in which the flute played off stage and acted. as an echo to the shepherds cal1. The "Ballet of Unhatched Chickens" and "The Harmonica Player" were also favorites with the audience. In an interview with the musicians it was learned that the players spend much of their time making reeds for the oboe and bassoon. They have five sets in the making at all times. The oboe player often uses up three set$ of reeds in an evening's performance. When bought from a music store the reeds cost about $5.00. The bassoon is an expensive instrument made of a maple wood found only in the forests of Germany. This wood has to be aged 20 years before it is ready to use in the instrument.

"Mr. Samples, what are we going to do about this.fire alarm?" In the shuffle another girl forgot her glasses and went peering blindly into faces, asking "Are you my roommate?" Another occupant had picked up her glasses commenting "If there is anything

going on out here I want to be sure to see it all.' Had thE!re beeri a real fire it could have been sad for two girls went back to pack their bags.

T.ennis Tournament Football Prospects Bright

College Cardinals Suffer Two Costly Defeats MonC!ay night, July 24, the Vetville and college soft ball teams clashed to decide second place standings in the city soft ball league. The game was halted several times for brief periods, by heated arguments by both t<lams. This kept the crowd interested until the final out. Paul Gilbert clouted a tremenduous home run in the third inning to climax a Vetville uprising, which netted them ten :runs and drove Hermsmeier to the showers. At this time manager Dave j)uey had to call on Fireman Curtis (Joe Page) Olson to come 1n and put out the fire. Curtis, not being able to control his ~peed ball, found himself in hot water in the late innings and had to give way to Lafferty, who quenched the Vetville fire. Final score, 20-14. Batteries: Vetville, Abernathy, Gump, McMasters and Gillmore; College, Hermsmeier, Olson, Lafferty and McCartney.

J3atteries: Vetville, · Gump and Duncan; Earl's Cafe, Sharpe and Poppe.
