PERU, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 26, 1951

Kangaroo Court Favors Fres.hmen Freshman initiation ls now ln full swing, with all the meek freshmen toeing the mark in the manner prescribed by the cruel upperclassmen. Of course, there are always a few freshmen who a· e forgetful or who just have not learned. These criminals were apprehended and brought to trial before his honor, Judge ,Roland Ber a n, at Kangaroo Court.

Bob Ryan Injured Bob Ryan, stellar Bobcat guard, received ?injuries in the Buena Vista game which will probably sideline him for the season.

Ryan's injuries were diagnosed as a chipped vertebra with tranverse process. A specialist has been called in to see if it is possible for him to wear a brace and return to school.

Injured in the same game were 'Rollie Beran and Curtis Lindell.

Beran suffered torn muscle fibers and a pinched nerve in his arm.

It is believed he will not see action before the Midland game.

Lindell received three bruised rib cartilages and should be in condition for the game with Midland Dr. Lester N. Downing

Head Coach Al Wheeler looks forward to a tough season in NCC football. Al can claim only ten rettirriing vets, a good crop of freshmen arid a rugged schedule.

Make no mistake about it though, this Perti team is no pansy. All they lack is ·depth and experience and they have a ready-made substitute for that. It shows in the squad workouts-hustle, drive, spirlt. They lodk to this boy like a real dark horse, a big bl,ack one.

The backfield, with vets Dean Thiefield, Wilbur Schietel, Cecil McKnight and Leroy Wilson, has class enough for anyone's league.

Pushing hord for varsity berths will be Gayle Eckman, Tom Percell, Duane Rains, Spud Clark and Tom Hopkins. ' Bob Ryan heads the parade of seasoned linemen with lettermen Rollie Beran, Bill Vasek, Bill Gillmore, Rich Lade and Dean Miller anchoring the line. Harley Rector, J. Gilmore, Fred Applegate, Curtis Sederberg and Bob Simpson show lots of promise and will be playing a lot of varsity ball. , Don't overlook the kind of drive and spirit this year's squad is displaying. It's the difference between a good team and a winning one! ·

The Peru Bobcats cleared their first big hurdle on the to a N.C.C. football qhamp,ionship by disposing of oane, last year's backdoor champion .and this year's preasori favorite.

With five minutes left in the quarter, halfback De an ·esfeldt · broke through the ter of the line for 62 yards. the next play Thiesfeldt hit pkins with a running pass for e second touchdown.

Doane, flashing a brilliant aeroffense, clicked on four conutive passes for the touchwn. The half ended a few seeds after Doane's try for point ent wide and Peru led 14-6.

Two minutes after the interission Bob Starr fielded a Wiln punt on his own 25 and went 11 the way for the TD. Doane ulled up 14-12. , Thiesfeldt broke the Tigers' ck as he intercepted an Andern pass on the Doane 18. The xt play saw Thiesfeldt hitting opkins in the end zone for the nal score.

Spirit and Pride Shown by Bobcats We hate to do it-this column is reserved for criticism, but we'd like to sound off on a splendid display of school spirit and team pride shown by the footbal squad and its supporters.

Seldom, on any campus, will you· be able to find the type of pep leadrship furnished by this year's ,Blue I\ev:ils and Whtt~ Angel organizations. Coordinated by the cheerleaders, these groups have been instrumental in arousing fervid nthusiasm for the games ahead.

Even more rare is the type of whole hearted support the students have contributed. These things-this sense of working together-make of the campus a tightly knit organization of peo· ple of common' interests and desires.

Nuff of sweet talk. Have you seen the school marching band.

They play nicely, don't they?

Nothing wrong with their marching, either. But-do outsiders know it? All they can see is that they're wearing uniforms that a self respecting high school would sneer at. Give the band a breakthey may not draw the crowds a football team does, but they're purtier.

C. DALLAM, D.D.S.

Mixed emotions prevailed in the Art Majors home Friday night. Coach Majors' Nebraska City Reserves were soundly beaten by a supurb Peru eleven, spearheaded by Coach Majors' son, Rog. It seemed as though Dad Majors could find no way to stop the sharp passing and shifty running of his clever offspring.

After a few minutes of play had gone by, Rog took the ball .over for a TD on a 32 yard quarter back sneak. The try for extra point failed, but the scoreboard read Peru 6, Nebr. City 0.

Peru's second touchdown of the first quarter came on, a 40 yard sprint by Winningham.

Lewis calmly kicked the extra point to jinx the score 13-0.

Harold Goings of the Bobkittens intercepted a pass on his own 35 and ran it back to the Nebraska City 22 to start Peru on its third march but half time ended before they could put it over for another score.

Peru took to the air in the third 'quarter as Majors hit West for an 18 yard pass in the end zone. The try for point was no g.;0d. A few minutes later Majors shot an eight yard pass to Eddy who crossed the end zone untouched. Majors ran the extra point which put Peru ahead 26-0.

A pass from Graves to Pharaoh was the only scoring done in the final quarter; the game ending with Peru on the long end of a 32-0 score.

Buena Vista picked up the extra point with a successful placement.

The third quarter saw the end of the i;storing with Peru out in front, /13-7.\ LeRoy Wilson a real triple threat man, handled the Bobcats with precision generalship. Thiesfeld's :f'ler running and Hopkins' s 'ing and turning tactics accou ed for a good share of the yardage gained; while teammate Wilber Scheitel came through with his usual good brand of ball.

There are usually twelve meetings· for each course Fifteen members are required to hold a class. The regular college staff conducts these classes and the persons attending receive full college credit. The meetings last three hours, which is equal to one week of a college three hour course.

These Off-campus Courses offer all the divisions, including :fine arts, ·language arts, educa_tion courses, and social science.

Generally the County Superintendent makes the necessary arJtiangements for the instruction; however, arrangem€nts can be made at the extension office (the ·offic€ of Special Services) for those interested in taking advantage of the extension· program.

The Peru Bobcats, plainly looking ah.ead to the Wayne game, had to come from behind ±o annex a 26-6 win over the Midland Warriors. The Warriors drew first blood, plunging ov-er from the one after a sustained first quarter drive.

Peru's first touchdown came in the second ;quart"r as Wilson faked, kept, and ran left end for three yards and the touchdown.

Argabright took a Midland punt on the Peru 30, handed to Tom Hopkir on the criss-cross; and while the fans stood and screamed, "Hoppy" sprinted down the east sidelines for 70 yards and the TD. Wilson converted.

Just before the half eneded, the fans were treated to a surprise play as a Wilson to Rector pass was good for 17 yards.

The eight man line of the Warriors caused the Bobcats to utilize a series of Wilson to Vacek or Gilmare to set up the next score. "Hopalong" crashed 'left end for the third touchdown.

Wilson split the uprights to hike the count to 20-6.

Argabright's spectacular interception gave the 'Cats the ball on thefr own 40. LeRoy Wilson on the dead run, threw a strike to Hopkins who went over standing up.

Wilson, Hopkins Vacek and Thiesfeld shone in the offensive lineup, while Lade, Argabright and Simpson stood out on the defense.

Bobkittens Down Odell Defeated by Plattsmouth

AAUW Lounge Room 102 in the Administration building has been turned into a woman's lounge. The project was carried out by the local chapter of the Association of American University Women.

Donations to help pay for the attractive new furniture were solicited by Mrs. A. G. Wheeier, who was the delegate to the National Convention. The room is equipped with comfortable chairs, a divan, a big table and straight chairs, and copies of current magazines. It is a pleasant place to rest between classes.

Peru Prep won its third straight victory this year by downing Odell 31-0 in a contest of long runs and sharp passing.

Peru Pedagogial) Crusade for Freedom Visits Peru Campus

500 ·See Fine Performance Of 'Glass Menagerie' The Glass Menagerie, presented by the Peru Dramatic Club under the direction of Robert D. Moore as part of the homecoming festivities, was enjoyed by and applauded by an audience of nearly five hundred students and alumni.

The cast, composed of Pat Benford, Charles Montgomery, Jackie Ree~, and Phil Slagle, so well harmonized the parts they played that the dream world the characters were living in became , real, and many in the audience went home trying to find a solution to ·the problems created for themselves by three people who refused to face facts.

As narrator, Phil Slagle successfully guided the audience through the many changes of scene; and, in his role as the brother convincingly portrayed ·the inner turmoil he was suffering, because circumstances .forced him to support his mother and sister by working in a warehouse· when he would much rather seek adventure and write poetry.

Playing a new type of role for her, Pat Benford handled the fong tirades and the anxieties ·of the mother who just had to run her children's lives. Pat managed the diffic1,1lt job of being alternately hateful, deserving of sympathy, and kittenish.

Jackie Reed's portrayal of the crippled Laura who got sick when forced to face reality made it easy to believe that she actual·. ly did believe her little glass animals were her real life.

Charles Montgomery, as the gentleman caller, the only normal person in the play/'showed the necessary restraint to be convincing as the reformed introvert. , The Glass Menagerie is a difficult play to produce. The many · changes of scene, the lack of fast . ,action, and its unreality, make it no easy tasil: to present so that an audience will enjoy it. · The stage hands had their hands full with the trick lighting, the. many curtains and blending · the baeil:ground music with the action required excellent timing.

Orchids to the cast, to Mr. Moore and .Mr. Steele, the stage hands, and everyone concerned with the p~ay.

· Music Group Performs At Champion School A group from the music department sang at the Champion School, south of Nemaha, October 15. The numbers were: A barbershop quartet consisting of Gerry Schleifert, Pat Benford, Carol Duerfeldt, and Dorothy Meister.

They sang "In the Evening by · ·the Moonlight," "Around the Corner,' and "Sentimental Me"; Ben ,Duerfeldt sang two solos which were "Sure They Call It Ireland" and "Because''.; '!Andante" and "Oriental" were played as an oboe solo by Bill Mcininch; Dorothy Meister played a piano solo, "D1£zzy 1Fi,ngers"; "Danny Boy" :and "Big Bass Viol" were sung

by Loren Argabright; Carol Duerfeldt played "Night Soliliquy" and "Butterfly" on a flute; Georgie .Fitz sang two solos, "Thine Alone" and "Only a Rose"; "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark" was played on the flute

by Carol Duerfeldt and Pat Benford sang it.

Dorothy Hawxby was the accompanist.

Blue Devils Form Alumni Group Blue Devils who attended Peru in previous years were at the Homecoming festivities in force.

These members met and decided to form an association of Blue Devil Alumni.. Don Yocum, from North -Platte and who now is teaching at Bratton Union, was elected chairman of the association. These Blue Devils *ormed the association for the purpose of attending as many athletic events as possible in a group. They also want . to keep in close contact with members and keep up on the progress and achievements of the active ·Blue Devils.

At the weekly Blue Devil meeting of October 15, Don asked if it wouldn't be possible to have a section in the stands reserved for them at home games, with or near the rest of the members.

This ·suggestion met with immediate approval and Blue Devil president, Bill Gilmore, said it could be done.

Since there is now this organization, anyone belonging to the Blue Devils who has graduated will still be a Blue Devil. With this Blue Devil Alumni Association it will be much easier to keep in contact with members who are scattered throughout the United States. ·

Carol Smith, sophomore from Pawnee dity, was crowned as Homecoming Queen at impressive half-time ceremonies at the Feru~Chadron game.

Marilyn Baucke, senior from Nebraska City, and Francis Heim, junior from Dawson, were attendants to the queen.

All eyes turned to the northeast entrance of the stadium as the queen and her attendants entered, riding in a convertible driven by P. C. Maxwell. They rode slowly around the field and stopped in front of the stands where Miss Smith and her attendan~s were met by co-captains Bob Ryan and Wilbur IScheitel.

'The captains then placed the crown on the queen and sealed the ce:·emony with the traditional kiss. Carol, Marilyn and Francis tl;)i;n sea+ed themselves on the front row, which was reserved for them, to watch the second ?alf of the game.

Eight bands attended the Peru Homecoming. They performed before and during the half time ceremonies .of the football game.

As the bands marched onto the field to take their pI'::ices in the .reserved section in the grand. stand, the Hamburg, Ia., band did a Counter March, the Auburn band did a Drop Rank, Pin Wheel and Counter March, while the other bands marched around the field.

During the half the bands combined and formJd the letters U.S.A. in front of the. grandstand.

The bands were led by Peru State Band Under the direction ~f J. Quinn Lotspeich. While standing in the formation, they played the · "Star Spangled Banner," "National Emblem March," "Fanfare" for the entrance of the queen and after the crpvlning ceremorues the "Color Song."

Date ~or Xmas Tea Changed

The fact that enrollment dropped at Peru should be pursued further by the ''Do Gooders." It dropped almost everywhere else, including the University of Neb:·aska, which,, so far as I can read, has not been recommended as fit only for the dust .heap.

The traditional Christmas tea given by the girls of Eli~a Morgan has been changed to a Thanksgiving ·tea. The ehange was made because there are so many conflicting activities at Christmas time. The date has ben set for Wednesday, November 14.

Chairmen in charge of arrangement committees have been appointed as follows: Marilyn Baucke, a junior from Nebraska City, Patricia Craney, a sophomore of Atlantic, Ia., Carol Duerfeldt, a senior from Nemaha, Violet Fithian, a sophomore from Vesta, Dorothy Hawxby, a senior from Nemaha, Esther Kreifels, a junior from Nebraska City, Imogene Radford, a senior from Peru, and Lois Rhinehart, a sophomore of Shubert.

Suggestion by someone, not yet revealed, that Peru State Teachers College be abandoned as a school and turned into a Home for the Aged is remindful of the hints of two years ago when legislators, irked because the schools wanted to grant liberal arts degrees, actually suggested that Peru be turned into a hoine for "Soaks."

Before the "helpful hinters" proceed too far .with their plans to wreck educatfonal opportunities for the young in southeastern Nebraska, let them read the original deed of gift whereby Peru · was made possible. They may find there a stumbling block which would prevent tra.nslation of the school into a home for oldsters, a resting place for plain drunks or a depository for stray bums.

Victor Herbert's 'Red Mill' To Be Presented Nov. 20 ,.

On Tuesday, November 20; the music department presents Victor Herbert's "Red Mill."

The "Red Mill" is a comic ·•opera ih two acts with the story · written by Henry Blossom and the music by Victor Herbert. It was first produced in 1906 at the Knickerbot'.'.d:er Theater in New ~:York. The plot is as follows: Con : and Kid find themselves stranded 'in a Dutch town, unable to pay their hotel bill; they attempt to ~cape by climbing out of a win·dow, but the mayor catches them •and they are sent to jail. The innkee~er agrees not to .press •,charges against them if they work .out their board bill at the tavern; ·:con is given a job as interpreter and Kid becomes a waiter. They proceed at once to meddle in affairs other than their own and ltry to save Gretchen, the mayor's tlaugh.ter, from rrl.IKrying the governor by promising to help her .elope with Captain .van Damm · instead. The innkeeper overhears the plot and informs the maycir.i. who confines Gretchen in the Red Mlli where she will be out <Jf harm's way. The. two Ameri<:ans, Con and Kid, rescue her on: the huge wings of the mill. Prep.erations .are being made for the wedding of Gretchen and the .governor, but the bride can't be found.·· The mayor is furious and offers a reward for her capture.

Prep Tests New ·Grading System Prep school students did n-0t get report cards at mid term; instead, their ·parents came to the training school to receive_ more detailed information in a ten minute conference with their teachers.

When the new policy was first announced many parents were skeptical and some objected to spending the time ·the conference required, but by Friday evening better than 90 per cent of the parents had showed UJ;> and the majority expressed their satisfaction with the new plan.

Under the new plan children from the kindergarten through the eighth grades do not receive letter grades. Instead a progress ,. report is made to be· shown to the parent at the conference, then filed in the studenfs folder.

High school students receive grades and a conference with the parent is held too.

School was dismissed on Friday to allow time for the conferences.

Dr. Eastman, director of the .training school says· that he is well pleased with the results of the plan and as far as he knows no other public school in Nebraska has abandoned report cards in favor of giving more detailed information to parents 1about a student's progress 'in a conference...

turn events have taken, appear disguised first at two Italian organ grinders and later as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. After the arrival of the governor things are rapidly cleared up satisfactorily; Gretchen and Captain van Damm are happily married.

Victor Herbert was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1859. However he is generally known as an American composer as he did his composing in this country as a result of hi~ wife coming to the United States to sing at the Metropolftan Opera House where he played the cello. Herbert composed the drama opera, "The ~aptive," in 1891. But his career as a composer started when he wrote "Prince Ananias" in 1894.

He became one of ,the most successful composers of light opera in both the United States and Europe. Some of his · music, "A Kiss in the Dark," ''Slumber On," ,and "Kiss Me Again," have become classics in the field of light music. His works include more than 35 light bperas. Some of them are "Princess Pat," "Algeria," "The Wizard of the Nile," Naughty Marietta," and "T1he Serenade." Herbert also wrote two grand operas "Natoma" bas~d ion American Indian themes and produ<:ed in Philadelphia in 1911, and "Madeleine" in the Metropolitan Opera House in 1914.

Delzell--Hall Is Threatened by Fire

Pianist Massolos Here

Shortly after midnight Saturday, November 3, a leaf and grass fire broke out on the lawn in front of Delzell Hall close to· the main entrance. The fire was t€ported by custodian Earl Coulter, whe called the Peru Fire Department. They put out the fire before any damage was dc;me.

The 'fire was confined to a small patch of grass and a smoke . charred wall on the west side of the entrance. Presumably a carelessly discarded cigarette was the cause of the fire.

There Is Still Hope Male college student,s who would like to be deferred from the draft in order to continue their education are urged to take the College. Exemption Test.

Applications may be had from y o u r local selective service board. The next test, a three hour written examination,· will be given in the Peru State auditorium December 13. Since there is a definite time lag between applying for and receiving permission to take the test, your application should be in before December 1.

Scores on this test are used on a nation-wide basis to determine college exemptions.

William Masselos, who was heard in recital at Nebraska State Teachers College, Peru, · on N·ovember 7, has been placed "in the uppermost bracket of our younger pianists" by Eastern critics although his talents are rooted in the deep Midwest.

Born in Niagra Falls, N.Y., in 1920; young Billy's parents moved to Colorado Springs, Colo., when he was only six months old. Piano lessons began when he was six years of age and development was so rapid that within two years he had given three public recitals.

When he was eight, his parents took him to New York City where he won a full scholarship at the Institute of Musical Art, graduated with highest honors at the age of 16, won a scholarship at the Julliard Graduate School and still more study under the eminent Carl Friedberg. Masselos has appeared several times in Carnegie Hall and the Town Hall in New Yor.k City, with important ,symphony orchestras on the Eastern seaboard and will be soloist with Mitropoulos and the New York Philharmonic' next April.

In 1945, Masselos returned to the Midwest on tour. At each concert performance the acclaim of the Eastern critics was echoed, and his several subsequent returns to the midlands are testimony to an eve:·-growing enthusiasm.

Editor's Views

Time Magazine, in the November 5th i~sue, reports that in general, American youth is silent, fatalistic, security-minded, con·servative, grave, morally confused, tolerant of most everything and blaming no one for its troubl~,

Is our genera tion slowing down the pace of life in the United States so that we will be able to think straight and possibly get 1our troubles ironed out before we find some others? ' Our generation is above all healthy and S'trong. We have been raised in a period of depression and matured in a period of war and prosperity. From these two ' extremes we have reached a point · of moderation which has given ·it.ls a ba.l.cince of open-mindedness.

W;; are silent because we take .time to weigh issues and upon ·arriving at a conclusion, we. act.

We l!re fatalistic because of our background. We have faced world crises through our parents and1 these decisions have left their mark.

We are security-minded to such an extent that· we want to slow ·down the pace of life so that we -may catch up with ourselves and ·work on solutions to the prob-

lems we a,lready .face.

We are conservative because we have seen what waste at home and more drastic waste abroad has done to peoples with whom we hope some day to live in harmony. We are conservative because we want to find the results of radical . movements that are present today ..

We are grave, morally confused, 1tolerant of almost anything and blaming no one becaus.e we have been brow beaten . and pushed into circumstances 'which we had to take in our stride and make the most of.

We are a generation that wants to improve not pr.ave, to see not be seen, to understand and coo;)erate.

To progress means to be ag.g:·essive, curious and willing to take chances. But why not slow down the pace of life and come to some conclusion as to where we have progressed? I think it/ wise to make solid our progress 2nd :;.ypoort it by eliminating emotioii'al tension and bracing it \Vith knowledge from aJl over the world.

Our fOrefathers have the foundation laid, it is up to us to make sure the structure is safe. M.M.

-·-

Our generation· lacks individual initiative which is necessary to insure the strength of the structure for which the foundation has been lain. This is especially true here on our campus where one or two leaders form the core at student activities. Our campus lac.!ks lead.ership which is a 'cl.ircet result of the unaroused initiative.

Let us have a change of attitude

on the campus and bring out some new ideas that will go beyond the talking stage. Let's have some action. Work through organizations and fOrm a camp,us spirit that will radiate through the midwest. We are a small educational institution but we. can express ourselves in such a way that we can be recognized as a leading educational establishment. M.M.

Witches, Spooks, Jack-o'-Lanterns

Halloween, which was October

31, usually marks the time of jack-o'-lanterns witches, masks and sheets, and of course pranks.

The pranks the little children do when out trick or treating are usually harmless and even cute, but some of the things the older ones do are sometimes destructive.

Some of the things teen-agers lfae to do are painting fences, upsetting outside buildings, soaping windows, a11.d many other things others have not thought of yet. Even though this is usually done all in fun the oldE:!r generation looks down on it with a frown and says, "What is the younger generation coming to?"

This year must ma~k an improvement in the teen-a.gers' sense of fun or ma;ybe they are just ·finding more profitable things to do other than just going out and destroying property because there is very little of the usual pranks being performed this year.

Pheasant Season Op~ns With a Bang Spurred by a five 'rooster limit ·on pheasants this year, hunters from Nemaha County joined the ranks of other marksmen in Nebraska to flood the fields in quest of the fast flying bird.

Gunner.s reported that pheasants were lying low on the first day and they had to be flushed' from the heavy cover. Reports from local hunters varied from very good to moderately bad. By Sunday as the weather improved, there seemed to be good shooting in almost every section of the sta,te. State game warden officials estimated that about 60,000 hunters were in the field Sunday.

A group of five men from Peru State, comprised of Dick WickheiSer, Marlan Downey, Denny Sailors, Johrr McCarty and Lee Norris, had no trouble bringing in their limit of 25 birds. The men hunted Saturday and Sunday and said that the pheasants had to be practically kicked out from cover.

Many other hunters from the county were taking advantage of the increased limit. Most of them advise hunters to travel toward the north and west. The area around !Hastings and Shickley seemed to draw most of the hunters, with quite a number being, drawn as far west as Kearney.

The powerful and undefeated'.

Northern State College team, paced by one of the nation's leading passing artists, all star Bob Heimerdinger, overpowered and , outmanned Al Wheeler's Peru State Bobcats to take a 21-0 decision in a game played at DeKalb, Ill., iSaturday.

Except for a blocked punt that set up a. first ia.;;riod touchdown, first half play was fairly even, with the huge Huskie eleven landing by only 7-10.

The Bobcat forward wall was unable to break through, permitting Heimerdinger to throw almost at his leisure for repeated gains which enal;lled thehosts to score in each of the final two periods.

The gigantic Illinois line completely smothered the Peruvians' running attack, holding the locals 'in their own territory most of I.he 'afternoon.

Jn a discussion before the Peru M o n d a y morning Quarterbacfa: Club Al Wheeler expressed satisfaction with the team's shov.ring.

Followers of the Bobcats had feared a much more disastrous defeat, in the light of the high scoring record of the Iriterstate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champions.

In Full Swing Saturday, November 24 began the Peru campus annual CO-ED week. The phone in Delezll now rattles its bell every few minutes, disturbing the quiet serenity o[ the boys castle. The girls of old E. M. are on their annual spree. It is their week to blossom to glory. They make the dates, provide t 1: e enter1 ainment, they provide transportation (if only by foot) and last but not lea8t they treat the boys. (Incidentally some of the fellows a··e eating better this week than they have all year.)

Better Hamburgers

Forgetting all rules of womanly grace and being coy, the girls drop their hair, (or maybe they pick it up), slap on an inch of tulip (two-lip, that is) salve and rush the phone or Delzell Hall to cast their magic spell over the blushing but happy male popu1ation This is the week for the girls to re1gn supreme. This is Peru's "Sadie Hawkins' Day" lasting all week.

The gala event is sponsored every year by the Student Council and this year they are having a dance Thursday night. The festivities end Friday, November 30.

This novel idea originated in 1948 when the student council offered a prize for the best costume of little Abner and Daisy Mae. On that day there was also the traditional Sadie Hawkins Day race where the gals were given a chance to catch the male of their choice if they could. The next year it was decided that one <lay was not enough so the girls were given a weel.i: in which they could court and woo the man ot their dream. The affair was then called CO-ED week and has retained that name ever since.

All Things Chaff<ge With Tirne; Even Traditions of Annual Teas

Industrial Arts Club rakes Beatrice Field Trip ."''

'

Twenty-five students under the sponsorship of the Industrial Arts Club pa,·ticipated in a field trip to Beatrice on November 12. Mr. Larson and Mr. Jarvis accompanied the four car loads of students.

The group left at 7:30 a.m., and spent the morning in the Beatrice High School. They observed the wood working and metal works shops. After this observation they toured the new high school builddng being erected there.

Th·e afternoon was spent in observing a couple of manufactur- . ing plants. First was Dempster Manufacturing Plant, followed by the Storekraft Manufacturing Co. Both firms are located in Beatrice. The group arrived hack in Peru about 6:30 after a very enlightening. day.

Overcrowding of activities at Christmas time was the reason for changing the annual tea given for faculty members and their wives or husbands to a Thanksgiving entertainment. Not ·much, but a little, comment was heard about changing ti;adition. But aII agreed it was far better at this: time of year. It occurs to me to wonder, though, what comment was aroused about 1945 or 1946 when tradition suffered such a major shock as the inviting, for th first time, the ma!f members of the faculty to the tea.

Since the teas had begun, about 1924, only the women on the facllty, and later the wives of the faculty men, had been the guests 'Of the girls at the annual affair.

In early years the tea was sponsored by the Gamma Chi organization, whrich later became simply the Girls Club. Now it is given by the girls in Elh.1 Morgan, and guests .are faculty members and

their spouses, and women students who do not live in the dormitory. ' But at that first tea to which the men were invited some of them were heard to say that this was their first glimpse inside that girl sanctuary known as the E· liza Morgan dormitory. E.ven · men students had reason to see the lobby, but faculty men-no.

Another thing some people may not know, or may have forgotten, is that about 1931 a formal dance was given by the girls, and held in the cafeteria. The faculty felt obliged to attend, ·'though many of them did not dance. Imagine the boredom of attending a function in whose only entertainment you could not, or did not care to, participate.

Wonder how many ciher traditions of the campus have such a changeable history. Isn't it nice to know that' you can change tradition, though?, ::!

Editor's Views The other day while I was walking through the men's dorm I :stopped and surveyed my surroundings. There was no paper or broken glass on the floor, there were pop bottles in the pop cases and there. was hardly a sound to be heard. I was so amazed at the situation that I decided to cover all four floors and find out what an inspection would uncover. To my complete enroyment I found only one bo~tle in 'the hallway and that was standing next to the wall. The hallways were dean and you would have thought there was a regulated study period for no more noise than could be heard.

Peru Gets Wireless

POtTRY

Upon reachdng the throne room where Joe sat playing upon his foreign minister with the butt of a rifle, comrade Sneaksky bowed low, careful not to ruin his year's ration of underwear. Joe, with a suave gesture of his bul whip, persuaded comrade :Sneaksky to have a spot of Peasant's Delight with him. Peasants' Delight.that's tail of Russian wolf hound dipped in hot water.

After lunch Joe, eager to hear the report of comrade hero spy Sneaks1~y of the MVD, sat down near the base of one of the many ·ornamental anti-aircraft ,guns in the room and listened to his ace stooge talk.

"Comrade Joe," said Sneaksky, "after many months in that vacation land of ice and salt mines, and after a complete survey and observation of suspected subversive group, I can truthfully say that herd of Siberian Jackasses ain't smuggling reindeer hides to Africa."

Joe, being very happy to hear this, ran outside and gaily threw hand grenades at the . working class. Upon his return he patted Sneaksky on the back with a ball bat .and ordered his allotment of vodka increased to five quarts a day, instead of four. The great Russian vodka plant in Moscow has been put on a rigid emergency schedule whi,ch places a considerable strain on the people. Vodka, in Russia, is made at what is known as the community vat.

All' 'students; 'and especially , those 'who are undeCid~d about the selection of a major or of next semester courses-can get a great deal ·of helpful information in the 1951 edition of the "Occupational .Outlook Handbook," according to Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin.

This publication, prepared by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of :Labor Statistics in cgoperatioµ with the Veterans Administration, contains up-to-date information on the facts needed in career planning for mo~e than 400 occupations. The data on immediate and long range employment outlook will be of special interest to college students since America's mobilization efforts in the last year have changed employment prospects for· nearly every job in the country, whether or not it is related to defense.

These data, together with those on training requirements, may help students make a wisr selection of a major and com;ses.

Bobcat Den P.S.T.C.'S FAVORITE SNACK SPOT

I

Al Wheeler's Peru Bobcat Davids, giant killers and surprisers all fall, added the crowning touch to their amazing season on Satur· day, November 10, when they decisively dumped na,tionally prominent and highly favored Eastern New !Mexico University 19-6.

The intersectional game, played at Auburn under the sponsorship of the Jaycees, had attracted national interest because of the fine record of the New Mexico aggregation. Until they met the Peru Staters, the Greyhounds were one of the 27 undefeated college teams of the nation, champions of the New Mexico conference .and victors over Colorado School of Mines, the Rocky Mountain conference rulers. They possessed a per game average of 412 yards rushing and boasted· a total of 221 ·points to their opponents' 44.

Peru drew first scoring honors in the thriller as a first quarter drive carried to the New Mexico 1 yard line, from where Thiesfeld pitched . a running aerial to Vacek i~ the!'i,,,end zone for six points. The ,Greyhounds' line hurried Wilson's attempt at point iafter touchdown, whish ended in failure. ~ New' "··co's lone touchdown came result of a fumble early in the second auarter. A Greyhound kick had gone out of bounds on the Peru State nine yard line. On running play the Bobcats fumbled, a silver shirt covered the ball and the visitors capltalized on their opportunity three . plays later as fullback Charley Pain'ter went over from the one. Barron's perfect placement. put· the sou thwesterners ahead 7-6, the halftime score.

A fourth down gamble by New Mexico early in the final period failed to p:·oduce necessary yard'age as the Peru State line rose to the occasion, taking over on their wori 40 yard strip. Two plays later quarterback LeRoy Wilson fired a pass to end Rollie Beran who ·took it on the New Mexico 40 and went the rest of 'tbie ·way with the assistance of crisp downfield blocking. Wilson's toe p:oduced, to send the Bobcats out front 13-7.

A Bobcat explosion iced th~ game a few minutes later as an~ other Wilson pass was completed, ·this time to speedy Cecil McKnight who scampered 49 yards to the one yard line where Wilson wiggled through on a quarterback sneak. Wilson's successful 'pfa.cekick was nullified by an offside penalty arid the second attempt faiied~ · · · Thie Bobcat forward wall, mag· rnificent all afternoon, turned back nuinerqus , d~~peration .plays by New Mexico in the closing mom~nts.

lntramurnls Start The intramural basketball season was. ushered in as the 8-ballers ducked the Wampvs Cats 38 to 29. I<::echley dumped in nine noints to lead the winners. Willis Moerer .sparked the Cats with a ten point Gffort.

K-N Club walloped tl:e h;pless Budini Birds 39-13. For the winners, Lade meshed 13, while teammate Whitey Walz canned 12. Wopata mustered four to head the Birds.

In the evening's most exciting game, t':Je Offensive 5 pulled out 12 points in the last four minutes to overcome :Schulte's Team 35 to 32. Red Holmes powered the winning surge while picking up 18 points. Don Ogle paced the losers with ten.

Prep Banquets Its Football Tearn Paul Gilbert the line coach at Peru State, was the after dinner speaker at the annual Peru Prep foptball banquet, held in the training school dining rooms on Saturday evening, November 17.

He imparted some advice and; considerahl~. wit to the :honored football team .and the rest of the 75 asembled diners.

Before the banquet Rodger Majors and Bonnie Morgan were crowned king and queen in a coronation ceremony in the assembly room. Gwennie Hays and Eddie Pharaoh were the attendants. Also on the pre-dinner program was a flute solo by Carol Duerfeldt.

At the bnaquet, Mast€lr of Ceremonies; P. M. Mayfield, introduced student speakers Bilzz Eddy, Rodger Majors .and Bill McAdams, who gkve a welcoine, re·sponse and a summary of the season. After the dinner Buzz Eddy sang a couple of solos.

1Coach Jerome Stemper .awarded football letters to: Rodger Majors, Bill McAdams, Bob Palmer, Buzz Eddy, Eddie Pharaoh, [Ram~e . Gr.aves, Franklin Walker, Vance Wilkinson, Leonard Allgood, Leonard West Burkett Lewis, ·Ron Knople, Garold Goings, Dick Corwine, Glen Heywood, Don Mertes, Shelby Winningham, Sid Brown, Joe Peck and Roger Haigh, Following the banquet; most of the diners returned to the assembly room for dancing.

Three Lettermen Form Solid Foundation for Cage Hopes· Newt Kyle, director of basketball fortunes at Nebraska Sta~e Teachers College, Peru, is a puzzled man these days as he looks for material from which to build: his cage squad for the coming campa:gn.

The very few familiar figur~ reporting back from last year's squad have the veteran Bobe.at coach expressing grave fears ·that Peru will get there "lastest with the leastest" as he seeks running mates for his three returning lettermen, Don ,Bornschlegl, · Bob Davis and Rudy Schrader.

Bornschlegl is Kyle's returning All-Conference forward, a scoring machine with an average of over eighteen points per game last year. The senior star is undoubtedly the boy around whom the Bobcats' offense will be built this year1 Pre-season drills have shown indications of his being a greatly impfoved defensive man.

Davis is the 6 foot, 4 inch center from Chiicago whose tr:ansfer to Peru· last year caused a conference-wide controversy over his eligibility. He's a tall, quiet and likeable kid from whom Kyle is expecting much this year. The Peru coach feels that the quarrel over Da.vis last year definitely affected his play th.at he has not yet reached peak .form and this may be a great year for the lanky Junor.

Rudy Schrader, Junior gilard and the third returning letter-

man, is an unusual case in that he did not participate, in athletics a! .any kind in high school. Coach Kyle is lavish in has praise of the little fellow who has "de~loped remarkably" and who is /characterized by his tutor as "not a natural," but a boy who likes to play well enough to work hard and who loves the game itself well eriough to be a good team man.

From the ranks of last year's "B" squad, from transfer students and from Freshman Candidates Ky le hopes to find adequate material for a wide-open fir.st team berths. Likely former "Bs" include 'LaVon Conault, Table 'Rock, Earl Marcus, Ashland, Bob Bacon, Pawnee City, Dave Kyle, Peru, and Marvin Gerdes, Johnson.

Transfer candidates who have caught the coach's eye include Kenny Hoag, Chicago, Duane Grady, Lincoln .and Wendell Holmes, Lirn::oln. Holmes will not be eligible for competition until the second semester.

A few Freshmen have been reporting but the bulk o.f yearling candidates stayed with football and will just start reporting. tjli.s week. Kyle hopes that the Frosh will come through as they did in football. On them may depend Peru's strength .as a contender ·thds season.

Essex kicked out of bounds on their own 42 early in the second .! quarter from where Brown threw ! "to West for a first down on the I 28.

Mrs. Smith Resigns

All-American Herm Rohrig Speaker at Football Banquet · "Football has plenfy of opposition; what it needs is some good, staunch support," said Herm Rohrig, guest speaker at the annual football banquet sponsored by the Bl.ue Devils on Nevember 28. Mr. Rohrig went on to say that though there are some variations, football has not changed in principle in the last fifo/ years,.· He maintains that in these days newspaper WDiters must have copy and that such 1hings as injuries, scandals and t):ie like make better copy add se\J more newspapers than the fact that football builds men, char:. ·. acter and good s:p1:1r'l:smanship. ' Herm Rohrig said, football in many respects, is similar '.to life.

In football, ·there are plenty of hard knocks and lots of ups and downs, but you have the deep satisfaction of coming out on top with the feeling of a job well done. It is the same way 'in life, there are ups and downs, there are hard \imocks, but you must take them in stride.. If you do this you will survive arfd have the same sense of pride and the same feeling of a job well done.

Herm Rohrig was graduated from Lincoln High in 1937. He promptly entered the University of Nebraska, and played four years of football for the Huskers.

He played half back on the team that went to the Rose Bowl in 1941. Herm was picked by the Detroit Press as "All American" that same year. He Jllayed with the college all-stars against the Chicago Bea·s at Soldiers Field, Chicago in 1941. Rohrig played for <he Green Bay Packers the remainder of the '41 season and then went to the Army where he was picked on the mythical "Allservice" team. After his discharge from the army, Hermie played three more years of professional football with the Green 'Bay Packers. He then coached two years at Lincoln Cathedral. Herm Rohrig is now manager of (Russell Sports in Lincoln and he also officiates many football and basketball games in this area.

Mr. Rohrig was very complimentary to Peru; He said that Peru State Teachers College was one of the friendliest places he had ever been. In comparing Peru with · the larger universities, Hermie said, everybody down here makes you feel welcome with a friendly "Good afternoon" or "Hello," while at some of the larger schools they look at you as if to say "What the heck are you doing here?"

Rohrig told Peru footballers that he had followed them closely throughout the season and was proud of the way they played to win,. but had always , been good sports and clean players all dur 7 the year.

Language Club Hears French Program The For.eign Langl\age Club its monthly meeting on Monday, November 26, at 8 o'clock in the auditorium of the Music ·Hall.

The French group of the ciub was in charge of the program. James Stoltz served as master of ceremonies. A French film, "Les Pyrenees," was shown to the group. " Stoltz read a paper on Voltaire and Rousseau, the two outstanding philosophers and writers of the eighteenth century. A playlet "La Farce Du Savetier et Du •Financier," was presented

by William Santiago, Charles Berry and Charles Montgomery.

Two more little playlets were presented, "C'est la Guerre" by Ralph Mosher, Alan Majors and Clyde Barrett. The other playlet was "Chezla Madiste" by Jean Mcininch and Marilyn Eaucke.

Two French songs were sung by the ·group and a solo from "Hoffman's Tales" by Marilyn Baucke.

A business meeting followed the program. It was decided to hold a Christmas program December 13 at 8 o'clock in the Music Hall at which the parents and guardians of the club members are invited.

Refres'hments were served by the leaders of the club.

Mrs. Mary Louise Smnth, secretary of Dr. Edith Greer, Dean of Education, at the training school, has resigned. Her husband L. Smith. who is a former Peru student,· is returning about Christmas. He is working on a government project in Greenland and will be here only for a vacatio~. Shortly after the holiday he plans to move Mrs. Smith and their children to Minneapolis, Minn.

Prof. Christ Elected NCC Vice-President Prof. John C. Christ, head of the Science Bepartment at Nebraska State Teachers College, Peru, and faculty representative of the college on the conference eligibility committee, was chklsen vice-president of the NCC organization at regular meeting held last Saturday in Lincoln. Other officers elected included E. E. Prauner, Midland College, president and Dr. W. E. Bruner, Kearney. State, secretary-treasurer.

The faculty dons cleared up a troublesome t;,ligibility question when they ruled that a college athle' e can become a professional in one sport without affecting his elegibi\ity for college participation in other sports.

The NCC track meet, golf and tennis tourneys were awarded to Doane College. The \rack meet will be held May 16-17, the other events a week before.

Attends National 4-H Congress Marjorie Whipple, a freshman from Nehawka, spent the week 'Of November 26 in Chicago as one of the 27 delegates from Nebraska to the 4-H Congress.

A New Scoreboard For Peru? .Maybe!

Shall we have a scoreboard?

That is the question before the students at the present A survey conducted under the supervision of the speech class showed that the student body was almost unanimous in their approval, most were willing to devote their time and some of their rnor,ey to this i;:·cject.

Students who went around to all classes ai:d beth c'r.. nns at 9:50 Thursday, December G, included Be ty Munoz, Wilbur Scheitel, Ron Wagne·-, Kenneth Sipes, Roland Beran, Branson Moore, Earl Marcus, Francis R)s2, Cecil McKnight, Lois Rhinehart, and Bob Lade.

Now that we have decided to get a fs~ore,t:oard, the big question is how1'-are we going to go about getting it? Most of us feel that the first big thing .would be a carnival. In connection with a ..e freshman and sophom asses have set up a comrnitte to plan for it. The members of the committee include· Francis Rose, Pat McKay, Loren .

Argabright, Lorraine Rohse, Ca-. rol McKee, Jackie ~i;ed: :Mable~ Nerved and Shirley Shaull.

This committee has met and started plans based on last year's carnival which was a huge success. That would include a freak show, fortune tetller, kissing booths, side show and many other interesting features. A tentative date, January 30, has been 'set' for this outstanding event. The proceeds f:om last year's carnival went toward the purchase of a loud speaker. That project was a very worthwhile one b.nd was supported by the student body.

Let's hope that we can do jhe saine this year with a project that is just as worthwhile, All freshmen and sophomores will be assigned to committees to help make this project for a new score board a rousing success.

Lade to Lead Sophomore Pob Lade was ele~ ·d president of the scphomor2 clacs at its first meeting last week. Other officers elected were: Mrs. Mciviaster, vice presided. ard Harvey Ideus secretary-treasurer. Th2 class discussed :he PO''Siblit:r of raising funds for a new clock and score board for the football field. Dr. Borass is t'::e clas sponsor.

Woodworking Class Learning To Make ~ducation Pay Nearly $10CO will be earned indirectly by the machine woodworking class this semester on furniture p:ojects that would cost $1500 if bought in stores. These projects are being made by 12 members at an average cost of $40 per project.

The students get their ideas from magazine or catalogs and draw the plans from these pictures. It t<Tites a great deal of initiative to draw the entire piece •of furniture, Jiiith all the technical details of construction, then develop the project into a beautiful piece of fur~iture.

Several sets of chests of drawers of varied design are being made as well as coffee tables, book cases, radio cabinets, tea tables, dining tables, chairs and end tables. All projects are made · of solid wood with only the best construction being used. ,Most all

the furniture on the market today is made of cheap wood with a highly figured veneered grain to make the article look beautiful, well built and expensive. For the most part, all work done in the shop is done with o:.e kind of wood. For instance, when the term solid oak is used the entlfe· piece of work is oak, e,is includes: the braces, stre'chers, and other hidden work.

Few students realize what fine work is being done in the Industrial Arts department. Majors and minors are receiving the best teaching background, as well as: a very up and coming hobby or favorite pastime.Our college has one of the best equipped shops in this part of the ,state. One can obtain many specialtfes in the department including wood turning, upholtering, and wood finishing.

Few Feeble Fables Humans Divided By the F.F.F. Santa Claus came a month early to the boy's dorm as CoEd Week went into full swing.

For once it was the boys and not' the girls who were eagerly(?) waiting for 'the phone to ring.

The eagerly is .questioned because of the reception some of the boys gave the girl's. phone calls. In many cases the !phone was taken off the hook and never answered or the girls were told where to go and what to do in ungentlemanly terms. If you guys don't like Co-Ed Week please let us know. After all it's just so much money out of our pocke~. Very few budding romances eve·: result from Co-Ed Week anyway!

In Three Classes A human being is a very intricate mechanism that is controlled by both the heart and mind. The tiny parts in the mechanism respond to the v\J.rious experiences that surround and determine their actiqns.

There are three types of human beings: those who are ruled by their hear'.s, their minds, and those who co-ordinate both. It is very plain that either extreme co\.ild be very dangerous and lead to destruction of their lives. Thus you can easily see a human being should strive for co-ordination to build a successful, worthrwhile life.

I was doing ~ome outside reading the other day ~d ran across an article called "The Measure of Man's Con·duct." In that very interesting article one sentence stood -Out, 11 The process o'f determining moral values by the con.sent of the majority is false in principle and sanction."

We do not help a: person physically or mentally when we excuse his moral misc0nduct. At moflt we are. confusing him by justifing an action that he himself knqws ris wrong. No matter how trival the offense may be a:p_d regardless of how many of his friends excuse his misconduct he still has to answer to God for his neglect of upholding the moral code God has established.

There is a dire need for this code in everyone's life.

When selfish interests a1~e deemed. more important a person misses the satisfaction of a full life. Our moral code is the one means of --keeping . our nation free and our standard of living high. And a: little individualism on the part of the American citizen will restore our moral standard to a level that foreign aggression can never mar. Lets stay free by living like free men.

Papooses Take Bobcat Scalp Omaha University's cage crew 'broke a jinx of long standing Tuesday night when they outscored New' Kyle's Peru .Staters ' 71-65 on the Peru maples. It was the first time since the end of · WWII that the Indians have been able to lick the Cats at Peru.

Only once, when Bornschlegl.'s . opening goal and free throw made · it 3-0 were the Omahan hen.ind in the first half. From this point · the visitors went to work with a blistering offensive J!lat had the bewildered Peruvian'S'hanging onto the ropes with a 20:-7 deficit · •at the end of the first quarter.

IB'inding themselves at the start of the second period the Kylers went to work· and began methodically cutting down the lead. · Davis dumped in 13 points in the period, abetted by Grady's 4 and Bornschlegl's 10 to whittle the the invaders lead to four points as the half ended 33-37.

Starting the second half the 'Bobcats lool!;.ecl more like the ·team fans have been accustomed to watch as quick buckets by ·Shrader and Bornschlegl knotted the · count with just 30 seconds gone. Duririg the next five minutes the :Bobcats were in the driver's seat of a hot .scoring bat·tle which found the visitor.s leading by a single point, 54-53 at the end of the quarter.

The fourth quarter· was essentially a repeti.tion of what has happened to the Cats in previous game's-they ran out of experienced and capable manpower. , ·Two fast baskets by Shinrock had put the Indians ahead by six points when Davis fouled out ·with five minutes gone. Grady had previously been booted midway in the third and from this point on there wasn't enough available talent in the young understudies to hold the pace as ~he Omaha crew was able to maintain its lead.

High point .man for ·the contest was Omaha's Rose who treated the spectators to quite an exhibition as he dumped· in 29 points. Big Bob Davis maintained his average of the season with 24 while Bornschlegl garnered 18. Shinrock of Omaha contributed 17.

Peru followers' found reason to hope that the much needed depth may soon be gained as they watched the "B': squad, paced by rugged Red Holmes and smooth Ronald Wagner take a 63-57 contest from the Omaha seconds.

Holmes and Wagner are both transfer students and :<will be eligible for varsiity Cbmpetition when the first semester closes in a week.

Peru State's next encounter is with Omaha again, on January 14 at Omaha. Following this the Bobcats inaugurate their conference campaign with a two night stand against Chadron at Peru on January 18 and 19.

The Omaha University basketba.Jl ·team served notice that it will be a factor to be reckoned with by all •future opponents by thoroughly trouncing the Peru State Bobcats 72-61 in a rough contest played Monday night in Omaha.

When Omaha's Bob' iR.ose dunked a free throw in the fir'st minute of play to put the Indians ahead 3-2 the lead had been lietermined for the evening. The Peruvians were never a serious thi!'eat to the always evident Omaha superiority. · Bobcat play, on the other hand, probably set some kind of record for illeptness as the Cats suffered recurrent lapses. into bad passing and unsure tactic~. Peru's NC'C ace Don Bornschlegl had one of I his worst evenings, going fifteen minutes into the contest before collecting his first field goal, one of the scant two he was due to field in the entire game. Bob Davis, Peru's current ace, maintained his customary performance record with 28 points to take scoring honors for the contest.

Shinrock of Omaha was second high with 1$.

A most ragged affair, the game was marred from both a spectator and player standpoint by being allowed to degenerate into forty minutes of almost unrestricted rough .housing and some rather luniqu& interpretations of the game by the striped shirt gentry.

PING-PONG TOURNE:Y Sponsored by the Campus Y. M. C. A. is a new event at Peru-a single an<l double ping-pong tournament. Eight teams are entered in the dougles and twentythree men are contesting for t}le cingles .~rown. · There is a display at the Delz~il desk;-the trophy for the singles champ. Gold medals will adorn the doubles champions.

The tourney is already in progress and will be completed in Febrnary. Posted on the Delzell bulletin board are the pairings and the progress of the entrants.

Followers of the basketball fortunes of the' Peru State Teachers College Bobcats hope to learn this week \he answer to the question of how well Newt Kyle's inexperienced youngsters will do in the torrid NCC race.

The Chadron Eagles are due for a two game series to be played in the Peru State gym on Friday and Saturday nights. The games mark the first venture into league' competition for the Peruvians this season.

Winners of only three games in eleven starts thus far this season, the Bobcats have nevertheless gone up against some of the midwest's toughest college competition in a pre-league seasoning which has seen them meet ranking college teams from seven states.

Chadron State's debut into NCC play two weeks ago saw the westi;rners split a series with favored Hll,Stings College, the win' being by a somewhat decisive margin.

Hopes for a Peru victory will be largely centered on Bob Davis and Don Bornschlegl, both whom enjoyed listings on the ranking individual scorers of the National Association of Interco 11 e g i at e Basketball.

Davis i.unior pivot man of the Kyle crew is currently ranked seventh nationally with a point total of 147 for a pergame average of 21.0 for his performance in seven games. Close" behind in the national standings is Bornsch]egl, Peru's All-NCC forward who is in 13th place.

Bornschlegl's ranldng is made especially noteworthy due to his having missed three early games because of iHness. His rating, based on a four game performance shows 82 points for a per-game average of ~0.5.

Peru> hopes will receive another shot in the arm when Ron Wagner and Wendell Holmes become eligible for varsity competition at the close of second semester Frirlay. ·

The first home stand for the Wheel . w is slated for October when Chadron comes to the Oa Bowl. October 11 will find the Plainsmen of Nebraska Wesleyan playing host to the Cats in a Lincoln engagement.

came to Peru last £a!i from Nebraska Wesleyan.

The former possesses considerable speed and is especially adept at takiilg the sphere off the boards. Holmes presence will add considerable weight and height to the Peru squad as the big red head tips the beam at 230 pounds, distributed over a 6' 4" frame. Both have played cutstanding ball especially on defense, with the Bobcat B squad thus far and should prove a real 2{set to the badly underJn2.nnec '/arsity.

Old grads will get their look at the '52 Bobcats when Midland comes to Peru for the traditional Homecoming festivities.

The home stretch in the conference race should be pretty tough for Wheeler's boys as they face successively Doane on October 24, Wayne on November 1 and Kear. ney on November 7. The Doane and Kearney games are home affairs. The Wayne game will be played at Wayne.

The one intersectional battle on the slate is tbe Mississippi College hassle, $\lt tentatively for November 15. Wheeler stated Monday that wh!le this game contract has 11ot bel'll definitely accepted, the date will be added to the schedule if necessary details can be worked out.

Over The Shoulder

There has been considerable comment around the campus regarding the lack of exltra-curricular activities, but a quick look aTound will disclose numerous activities that are not supported as well :as they could be. It seems that· most people who are interested in extra-curricular aativities actually find themselves short of time due to the amount they can participate in. Perhaps both groups of students could be satisfied if rthose who felt they were being slighted made an attempt to engage in outside acivities. Many organifa. tions would be very happy to have a new member if he is sindere and interested. Take a look around you for extra-curricular activitks ·and if you still find yourself short, do not hesitate rto visit the Ped office and see what they have to offer. ' Unless students eat mpre of their meals at the cafeteria, they may be faced with no-meal weekends. This is but one problem our student body would be confronted with if the cafkteria closes.

If ~t were possible for everyone to eat one meal in certain other college cafeterias, students would realize the importance of our own.

Peru's cafeteria ranks several steps ahead of most colleges.

Eating in our cafeteria is a privilege tha1t will have to be stressed if it _is to remain open.

Photography?

Lo and behold! A new class has recently been started by James D. Levitt. Mr. Levitt h:as announced that he is holding a class in elementary photography.

•The purpose of the class, is to give •training in photography to some of the men and women stu·dents on the PSTC campus so that we may have more competent photographers to "shoot" the many campus ac'ivities. The idea originated, according to Mr. Levitt when s'bme of the women students expressed an interest in photogranhy. More details of the class will be.given at a later date.

Now You Know "What's the red string tie for?" .Thi,s has been a question asked frequently of the members of the Gavel and rRostrum. These ties are a symbgl of membership to this newly organized forensic club and club members are to wear them on 'Club meeting days. The Gavel and Rostrum meets every Thursday at 4.:00 at 1he Little Theatre under the sponsorship of J. D. Levitt.

NEW IMPROVEMENTS Some new improvements have been made at Eliza Mr.re:an. T1'ry have installed new facilities for shampooing the hair. Several rooms have been repainted. The dorm has also purchased two popcorn poppers. More improvements are on the way and will soon be here. The girls are very pleased.

REDECORATE DEN Redecoration has started at the Bobcat Den which is now under . tte management of Benny Benson formerly of Omaha. Benny, Willy U;Jercr, Spud Clark and Ansel Clayburn have been doing the · reclecorating. They washed the 'Valls and ceiling, then gave it an vndercpat. Next thing is to paint !the top half of the walls white, .and the bottom half blue. The counter and chairs will be painted blue.

Penny is planning on having a picture of the Bobcat, which is stufLed and mounted down at Delzell, made and enlarged to life size. This photograph will be mcunted on a panel which has been covered with blue material.

A:·ound the Bobcat picture will be pictures of former Peru track, football and basketball stars. This display wil be on the west wall.

Benny is also planning to invite the college students to a11tograph the walls in indelible laundry hk, giving their home town and dates of attending Peru College.

DISH THAT MADE IDSTOR.Y An informal talk was presented to the Home Ee Club on the subject of Wedgewood China by Mr. Mayfield. He gave a brief history of onr utensils of eating from the 15th century to the present day.

His story of Wedgew:ood China was not limited to a discussion of 'the design of the dishes but he 1also told of the economic conditions of the day. lie stated that never in the history of Joshua Wedgewood's industry has there been a strike. His speech was not only successful as an intelectual talk but ap entertaining one also.

Mr. Heywood, director of the placement bureau, reported that he has already received many re,. quests for applicants for teachini posiltions and is receiving more each day. Requests have come from Alaska, South America and the West Indies, as well as eight states.

The greatest demand is for elementary teachers. In high sch-001, Jthere is a need for more -home economics and commercial inst-ructors. However, all fields seem !to. be :fiairly open.

Mr. Heywood advised that it would be wise for students who plan to teach next fall to get their applications filled out -at the ea'fliest possible date. lit will ta'ke approximately two or three weeks for the Bureau to complete •,your credentials so !they may be sent out.

The Bloodmobile whch is to be on our campus will give our students the opportunity to prove :they are really red-blooded Am..: erican men and women. This blood drive gives thts cam1,rns the opportunity to win the title "Bloodiest Campus of the United States." Thsi tit1e is given to the campus that donates the greatest percentage of blood and is currently held by the University of Idaho who has the mark of 38.8 per cent in actual donations.

This is our chance to be nationally knqwn by giving a pint of blood and at the· same time help our armed seryces throughout the world.

He explained how · the Irish peopre differ from us, in how they work and the type of recreation they have.

After his talk a questi-0n and answer period was held in which lthe religious and poltical aspects of Ireland were discussed, as well as the impressio.n the Irish people have of Ameri03.ns, which proved very intere,sting.

Mr. Bath had spent a very interesting and enlightening summer and passed on to his listeners much of his enlthusiasm and a great. deal more underst1anding for people of other countries.

The New York Times said the film "recaptures the spirit a~d the letter of the original with such careful literalness and complete understanding h!Jat we are in danger of taking it for .granted instead: of recognizing ilt for a work ·of art in its own mediwn '' The Foreign Language Club vvill make a small charge to cover 'he co.st of, bringing this attract ·or, Ito the: <~ampus.

New System · A monitor system for Delrell Hall is in the process of organization. It will be tried on an experimental basis for a time and will be expanded as it proves its worth and helpfullness to :the boys in th€ hall. Its objectives include creating a situation in which the residents themselves: ,supervise and conduct the a:tfuirs of the hall on an organized systematic basis.

One monit-0r appointment has been made to date. This has gone to Lawrence Stah, .and others may be made as circumstances permit; The monitors wtll assist in con· ducting the affairs of the hall by lending assistance at the desk answering phone calls, assisting strangers, parents or friends who may be l-0oking for someone, discouraging behavior which may threaten the safety and comfort of others, an<:t, by performing other duties consid.ered essential.

They will aLso act as representa~ives for the boys by relaying their suggestions for improvements and changes on to the proper school personnel.

Everyone should co-operatewith this system. If something is out of order or Mt like you th.ink ;it sh-0uld be, let your monitor know and he will try to correct it or pass the information on to others who will give you the necessary help.

Ooer the 'Shoulder A crowd Of about 75 students were on hand to waltch the finals of the YMCA Ping Pong turnament. This points to the success of the !tournament, but also proves to everyone that the majority of our students are not interested in high priced budget events. The recent drama~ic budget event, in our auditorium, at'tracted about 70 students and faculty members. It seems remarkable thait students \yill drive for miles to see something similar and yet when it comes to our campus it is not attended.

-th-According to a well established rumor about our campus, :a cer1tain organization, which is sponsored for the students, did :not have enough members in attendance at a recent meeting to !successfully conduct a meeting. This organizailion is condl1cted for \the students, and is represented by the students themselves, but is ·not supported in a way to help the student "\Jody.

-·-

I wonder if the people on this campus realize that our student publications operate under ::i handicap in regard to money. These publications barely keep their heads above lthe bi11s and the best seems to be overlooked. The solution lies in advertising and especially in the types of advertisers that can afford Ito advertise. Along; with soft drink ads are the profitable cigaretlte -ads that couid bfl used, if it weren~ for certain individuals who think this wrong.

In reality most of these people along with the majoriity of college students. use tobacco, and at the same ltim.e fell we should not profit from their .advertising. Most of this corinltry's larger universities ,and colleges accept this, so why should we b;,among the e"'\ceptions.

On behalf of the Ped staff, I would like to thank the Peru Pointer and its staff :for their patient work in publishing this paper.

The 1Stan1eys go out of thefr way to help make this paper a success:

Prep Presents Play A few weeks ago reh 0 arsals ,started on th@:- one act "lay tha,t the high scrool sne<>ch class is to Pntrr . in th~ District Dramatic Arts Contest.

The play is directed ·by Pat BE'nford.

The name of the ·play is "Nobody Sleeps," a comedy in one act

by Guernsey LePelley.

Spike. pfayed by Rex Allgood, ·e·nters the B'u,by home with the idea of relieving the house of its mcney but is surprised by Daiscv !Myrna Steiner) the youngest rl811ghter. Sh 1e immediately tells him that he is a poor burglar and she knows because her mother is a writer of mystery stories. Ada and Glory (Bonnie Morgan and Miriam Newton, resuective1y) appear and together they also tell Suike he is a "bungling burglar."

Mrs. Busbv. (Anita Vanderford) talks to Spike and finds he is not such a tough guy after all.

The play has a surprise ending much to the delig;ht of the audience.

BOBCAT DEN IM-PROVES A new feature in "Food Service" is being inaugurated at the Bobcat Den this week. The Den will be open each Saturday Night from 7 to 12 an<l will also remain open night.<; when the college has a basketball ,game.

This is another new feature Benny Benson is adding for the stud~nts ol Peru•s campus.·

The Peru Debaters started plJ,cking their suitcases in the "Grey - Hound" (Levitt's car) about 6:00 a.m. last Wednesday morning ready to embark for the Rocky Mountain Speech contest in Denver. As soon , as Levitt counted noses for the third time we were ready to leave'.

The trip out to Den..,er was uneventful except tbat several people had the opportunity to drive and these people in turn seemed to find time to thoroughly explore the road and shoulder.

After arriving in Denver Levitt pointed out the places on way to the hotel, you know their ,stockyard is very impressive. Many manholes later we decended upon the Shirley Savoy. I say decended because the hotel management wasn't quite sure where we could have come from.

After registering at the hotel, an elevator was. lowered for our convenience. ((Twidwell barely P-ot his head back in time). The bell boy belned ·us to our room (this service was later invaluable) unlocked the door and wished us 'fuck in the tournament. At this point J might add that tips were never lower.

We were completely settled in about five mim1tes and decided: to f''l out for dinner. We were discus,ing where we should go and what '-"e should eat when Levitt interrupted and said to remember we were from Peru. The chili at Joe's ulace was out of this world.

After eating we returned to the hotel while .T.D. and Nelda iourn·eyed to a relative for lodging. We ;hadn't been back. at the hotel ',when we immerliately began havfo;g trouble with room service. rt took an hour and a half to get <i bottle opener for .the cokes· we had orilen~d. (Note to President: these cokes were not included on the hotel bill.)

Next day we spent at D.U. ·doing a little spea)dng and that 111ight we toured Denver. After looking Denver over we found one place that impressed us cmite a lot. And say, you know that women's college sure has a beautiful campus. · We had a· different type of trouble that ni,ght. with room service but with. Merv's Boy Scout card and Twidwell's dime .tip we made it.

Next day we managed to win a few debates and so we. thought we sholild. celebrate. We invited some fellow debaters UJ? (girls) and told them to bring their cokes so .we could have .a. party.

The response was wonderful and we had a whale of a time. You may not believe we had a good time but as the girls walked up those uneven steps of the YWCA we knew we had.

The day we checked .out with our luggagie and address booli:s we really had a taste of the Denver friendliness. The maid seemed overjoyed as we left, and the . porter service we had as. we left was wonderfuL .The management wished us a good drive home and encouraged us to return and stay at a rival hotel. I guess this shows how inuch in demand we wefe.

Well we made it back to dear old Peru, bushed but happy, only to be confronted with several tests. You people can stay here anid take it if you want but personally I think I'll enroll a'b C.W.C. One Debater.

The intramur~l basketball season is over except for the tournament. The four top teams of the league that will play it off for the cha~~hp are the Eight Ballers,,_. Club, Offensive Five, and the Wampus Cats.

It was surpnsmg the number of people who turned out for the Y.M.C.A. ping pong tournament.

I think that the Y should be complimented on introducing something new to the campus.

The council has carried on this program despite the lack of effort of two other, organizations who were supposed to help sponsor the program. The Student Coun· cil is showing us at least one strong point of their organ· ization by carrying on this program and the failure or success of it n~w depends on t!he student body itself.

From the looks ,df things, we of the student body may be falling down in our duty to back thi:s blood donor drive.

Spring is rolling around once again and our thoughts and in1terests are turning from basketball to track and baseball. How:ever, taking a look at the sport calendar of Peru '.State Teachers College, I do not see any mention ··of baseball games on our campus.

Neither is there any talk of having a baseball team. I, for one, would like to know why Peru College does not have a team. Is it because there are not enough boys interested in baseball? A quick po)l around the campus will d~nounce such a question. Is it because the game is too expensive? The cost of operating a baseball team would not present a big deficit in the budget for sports, I guarantee you.

Of course the initial cost of !Starting the sport for active competition with other schools, such ias uniforms, balls, bats, etc. could not be realized the first year.

However, spread over a period of years, along with the other expenses of the game, the cost of operation would be overshadowed by the income from gate receipts etc.

One Peru Bobcat basketball player was placed on the Nebras~a College Conference Sports Writer's All~Conference Team, it was announced this week. It was just another of the many honors that have come to Don Bornschlegl during his long basketball career at Peru.

Along with Bornschlegl. were Don .Boldebuck, towering 6 foot 11 Plainsman pivot, and Jack Wood, Wesleyan wheelhorse, Chuck Stickles, Hastings guiding light, Bud Larsen, Chadron pacesetter.

The Nebraska College Conference Sports Writer's All-Confer'ence Team is picked by the eight sports editors of the campus publications in the loop schools. The idea is an attempt to bring more local interest in the choosing of All-Conference teams. It was

The final curtain rang down on the 1951-1952 Peru basketball scene this week as Coach Newt Kyle notched a tie for fourth in the NCC for the Bobcats.

Some forty aspirants, including three lettermen, reported for duty 1ate in October. Kyle immediately sarted working around these thrke lettermen. These were Don Born,.,schlegl, Bob Davis, · and Rudy Shrader. A batch of .freshmen brightened the outlook considerably, Ned Eckman, Jerry Trullinger, Don Thomas, Corky Lowe, Gilmore, Fred Applegate and Don Holscher. B squaders up for a try at the varsity included LaVon Covault, Robert Bacon, Chuck .Janecek, Sharon Ocker and Marvin Gerdes. A transfer student who caught the coach's eye was Duane Grady. As the semester ended the squad was bolstered by the appearance of "Red" Holmes, Ron Wagner and Raikes.

Because of the loss of so many lettermen the Bobcats were sadly lacking in experience which accounted considerably for the 17 losses and 1~ wins of the season.

Both Bob Davis and Don Bornschlegl ranked in the top bracket of scorers in·· the NCC and both men were regularly listed in the top point makers column for small colleges all over the United States.

Then the reason for not having a team must not be a financial one. Is it because we do not have a coach for baseball, I think not.

Both Al Wheeler and Paul Gilbert are competant coaches of ·baseball and could do very well with the young hopefuls on the ·campus. What, then, is the reason for not having a team? Let's take a look at the game itself. At the present time, it is ranked as America's National Sport. It provides a Jot of good clean fun for :a good many of American citizens both from the playing angle and the .entertainment angle. For some it even means ail occupa- · tion. It seems to me then, that with all the advantages the game .:provides, and being 1ranked as our national game, there should be a baseball team on the Peru State Newt Kyle's Bobcats wrote the 'Teachers College Campus. final chapter to the 1951-52 bas-Bud. ketball season on the night of March 1 by blasting out a 77-65 win over NCC rival Kearney H.

generally agreed among the sports iscribes in the N9C that the inauguration of such a plan was needed to bring the average· college cage :£an clqser to his ca!I\PUS publication. 'The conference sports editors felt, in choosing their selections, that they are qualified, because of their positions. The use of the state newspaper $elec- 1 tions of All-Cooference teams is by the time it is used in campus weeklies, old news and by having the team picked by the sports editors a new angle is added to an old situation.

The survey, conducted by the sports staff of The Wesleyan of Nebraska Wesleyan, was. based on the merits of sportsmanship, defensive action, and team leadership. The fiV'e players receiving the most votes were placed on the team. Other players getting

votes but not .enough to qualify as a member of the first five were Jerry Troester of Doane, Nels Christiansen of Chadron, iR.udy Shnader and Bob Davis of Peru.

The selectors wer·e Bob Petersen of The Midland, Jim Van Marter of The Antelope, Jim McKain of the Doane Owl, Buck IDin of the Peru Pedagogian, Leonar.d Hamsa of the Wayne Goldenrod, Don Cline of The Wesleyan and Ted Turp~n of Chadron. Rich Hueck of the Hastings Collegian had not turned in his selections by the time the paper went to press but the top five had secured themselves of their positions.

If the plan succeeds this year it is hoped, among the conference sports editors that it will be continued in the years to come.

Tournament tnds A tournament for the top four intramural basketball teams finished the season with a bang. The result of the tourney was slightly surprising. The highly favored Eight Hillers were defeated by a sharp shooting KN club 57-34.

First night play saw the 8-ballers roll over the Wampus Cats and a powerful offensive five was bumped by the KN boys.

In the consolation game the Wampus Cats put their best claws forward to defeat the Off.ensive club 36-30.

144 students participated in the intramural games this year. These were divided into 8 teams, each playing a double round robin.

There were approximately 60 games played in 24 nights. Every .night saw a few spectators (not all male) who got a kick out of watching their favorite team play.

Practically every team had a man who was among the 10 top socrers. Bob Lade, a KN boy, led the pack with 184 which set a new individual scoring record for one season.' Pressing Bob was Bob Davis Bob Keckley with 183. Kechley played for the Eight Ballers.

The Bobcats lost a hearibreaker on the~fil:!t of February 22 by ·a sco.~of 69-68 to a scrapping gang fllflm Wayne State .

Lanky Fred Lindberg made only two points in the game but the yearling center wa.s the hero of the contes't as his pair of char:ity tosses in the final half minute were enough to put the Wildcats in front of' the Peruvians fer the· victory in the game played in the Peru State gym.

The Bobcats were very effective in the first half as they rolled to a 33-25 lead over the Wayne Slaters. However, after the half the Peruvians suffered a relapse into the third quarter chills while the Wayne Staters found the range, finally tying the score at 50-50 on Johnson's field goal as the third period iended. . Duriug the torrid final quarter the Peruvians led six times, the Wildcats three and the score was tied six times as the two quintets .staged their desperate battle for a place in the winner's circle.

Th~ Wayne ~rew enjoyed the largest margin of the period when Mallette's fielder put them ahead 62-59 with four and a half minutes remaining. Peru's Eckman evened the situati,on at 63 all on ·a field goal at the three minute mark and added a quick one to give the Bobcats a two point lead at 2:45, but Mallette made it 65 .all, seconds later.

The Bobcats went ahead 67-65 on Bornschlegl's spectacular toss 'at 1:55 but Wayne's Miller immediately matched it with a long swisher.

With less than a minute to go Bobcat Ron Wagner connected ·on a gift heave to again give the Peruvians the lead at 68-67 but Lindberg was fouled in the act of shooting with 35 seconds remaining and cooly potted the two free throws awarded him and the Bobcats had watched another close one slip from their grasp.

The PS'DC coaching staff hasi been in Kansas City this week watching the NAIB tourney play.

Letter to the Editor:

-·-

Walking past the gym door yesterday we were confronted with an outrageous sight. Just inside the door we saw a large group of girls of various shapes, sizes. and descriptions. They were having tMir daily class in calisthenics. It was not the exercises that shocked, us however; it was the scanty wearing apparel which the entire group was attired in. There wasn't enough material from the gym togs of the entire bunch to make a small blouse and a small .skirt.

What has happened to the early car·efree days of earlier years at Peru? In those days a fellow could walk past the gym door without the fear of being shocked by the sight of naked legs. Why can't our girls follow the example of the 1920s, when a girl's popularity was proved: by the way her face ·glowed: not by the way her legs shOwed?

Aliotlj.ei: rediculous sight is sometimes displayed at our convocation programs. After filing in, in a dignified mann'er and taking our respective places, we must wait in fearful anticipation for the show to begin. When the .curtains begin to part we must be on the alert. If there is a minister we must bow our heads; if it is the girls frcxm Eliza Morgan we must turn our heads in shame. We have sore necks from keeping our heads turned for forty-five minutes at a tme.

Now that spring is here and the weather is nice I suppose the

gym doors will have to be open all the time for ventilation. Do you girls think you could find some folding doors somewhere and stick up at the entrance so the boys can walk by without injuring their pride too much? After all, it's quite a walk to go past the music hall t• avoid passing in front of the ,gym, (iSigned) The Blue Devils

The members of the Faculty Women's Club have finally decided to do their bit for dear old Peru, They have announced that they will soon open a business catering to the college trade.

That's right! "The Beer Garden" will open .tomorraw. · When questioned by a roving Pedagogian reporter as to why they had chosen this type of business, they replied; "This is the kind of work we get a buzz out of." They went on to explain that because they had gone into business solely for the benefit of the students they had naturally picked ,the business that would be patronized the most. We of the Fed staff were quick to compliment them on their most excellent choice of a business venture and promised to buy all our provisions at their store.

They h~ve decided to deal exclusively in that wonderful product called Metz. The Metx corporation, in apreciation, has decided to present our college cam~ 'pus with a neon sign at the six mile corner. Work will begin tomorrow on the construction of another large sign which will revolve .around the flag pole blinlking: "Our Students Drink Metz."

Mr. Qomon has graciously consehted to be photographed drinlk.ing a cool, invigorating bottle of Metz while leaning back in his chair with his feet propped u],)Qn the President sign which adorns his desk..Miss Hazel Weare presented a rare photographic treat by leaning from a third story window in the administration building and vainly t!'ying to clutch a falling can of Metz.

These pictures will be in the next issues of Life, Love and Success.

From "Squeekie" Moore we hear 1that No Grounds Coffee Company is paying the committee for their bcking; "Sugar" Brown says that the Reds have heard that coffee is bad for a person's health and! they are planning to sabatage America by encouraging the drinking of coffee. "No Joke" Levitt .says Wilkinson is attempting to go on an all coffee diet to lose weight.

Well, whatever the reason, many students are angry about 'the new ruling. Their main contention is that they came to college to study, There too, is the group, that is angry about this free time, as when they they had classes at this time they slept. Now they ' have to sleep on their own time.

Preview

A secret has just leaked out about a Convocation the faculty is planning to give us soon. It seems that some of our faculty members were so impressed by the · culture n~d art of Bill Santiago's interpretive dancing that they have started taking lessons. Bill hesitated to undertake teaching them because he was afraid the other students would feel that he was getting too familiar, shall we say, with the faculty.

It came from a reliable source that Miss Clarke is doing exceptionally well with "The Hula." !Mr. Gorrell is slowly becoming qu1te an artist at the "Borneo" Head Hunter" dance but the sarong is .giving him quite a bit of trouble. Dr. B-0raas fe1t that dancing was a little bit too strenuous so he is learning to accompany the dances wjth chants and some rhythmic instruments. Miss Diddel and Miss Carey have e-0mbined interests with the rumba and have been practicing after closing hours in the library. Mrs. Rath is brushing up on several German schottishes, and has begun learning the Hawaiian jitterbug, and Hazel and Edna Weare are studying old native dances and find that it is quite easy, once you get the swing into it.

When this convocation is presented, there will probably bl! few empty seats ia 1,he auditoriu•n and fewer <iL:ences posted on the bulletin board. At last the students will get their wish for a different, more interesting program for Convocation.

Saturday, Peru will play host to a newcomer to the football world, Army. The Cadets tried to muster a team back in 1932, but only seven men reported and the idea had to be abandoned for a .spell.

The Bobcats will sharpen their claws September 26 on Illinois and then will go into full acti-0n the following day with their annual Homecoming rivals, the Peru Prep Bobkittens.

After the tanglement with the Bobkittens, Peru will lay off a week for repairs. On Ocober 11 they will welcome Penn State to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks.

The Bobcats will go on tour for a week, starting October 18 at Ok1ah<>ma University, Then they travel on to Minneosta for a game the 23rd and back to Texas for the final conference game the 25th.

From the depths of darkest Af·rica to the farthest corner of the Ama'ZOn basin, the head hunting representatives of Wild Root Cream Oil have been searching for the best groomed man. Their search carried them through pent houses in New :Mork, streets in gay Paree, the ritzi dives of Shanghai, and the huts of the Fiji Islanders ..

But not' until they arrived at Peru, Nebr., did these -representatives find their man. H:ere fhey were-immediately thrilled by the sight of what they considered to be the qesLgro&med head of hair they would ever be able to locate.. This head was protruding fr:om the shoulders of· our "Duke Grady." Their dream· that this well-gromed head of hair was second to none was soon shattered, however. One of the repre-. sentatives, while gazing across the college campus, caught a glimpse of "Sherry Ocker" leaning out a second floor window in the Music Hall.

PERU, NBBR:ASKA,

VOLUME XLVII

The Peru State students and faculty played an important roll! , in the fight ·against the rampaging Missouri. They helped in· many ways, both directly and indirectly during the critical days.

The fir.st step in our flood fighting was turning the Gym and Indian Hill school over to approxima 1e1y 450 soldiers who arnved early Wednesday mo~ning.

'Before their arrival the gymnasium har\ been rapidly tmnsform~.-1 into < barracks with, bunk beds. This wa~ accomplished with the help of a number of high school and college boys. Certain parking areas were also left free by the students for army equipment.

Wednesday morning the dan.ger increased and more h~lp was required at the dikes. A plea for a hundred men was soon met by college and high school men reporting to the City Hall for work.

Classes were dismissed Wednesday afternoon .Ind all n:en were ·lliSked to report to one of the dike areas to help sandbag. The White Angels were called upon to prepare food for workers and 350 sandwiches were prepared to be sent out with coffee, cookies and oranges. The girls were asked· to stand by but were not asked to report to the dikes. A few eager \girls reported out to the dikes however and proved to be very helpful.

Thursday morning arrived with even greater threats and all classes were di~missed after the 8:50 hour. Again a plea was sent out ~8r all available studeI11ts, but tfas time it included girls as we! as men. Students rushed back to ·the dormitories and donned workclothes of all kinds and descriptions. Within an hour; the dormitories were almost vacant and the dikes were buzzing with busy mn and women

College Picnic 'Enjoyed

The constant rain, mud and deep ruts didn't seem to hinder the workers although they slipped in· the slimp mud. Some geniuses had the brilliant idea of making rainhats out of sandbags and immediately lhis became a popular new style. Sandbags were also used as knee pads 'for those who· found it neces.sary to get down :m fr.eir knees in the mud while filling sandbags. It was later rei:,orted that the work done by FBTC students and towns people was responsible for saving the dikes un jl the soldiers received their orders to take over Thurs/ day niiht.

Friday the fight continued with more workers arriving from Lincoln and Beatrce. The main need then was to build the dikes higher so they could withstand the rising wateri.

Saturday night was the crucial night for the crest was coming and the dikes had to bl! able to stand the raging waters. About 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning the dikes had held even though some water ran over ,the dikes but it wasn't enough to be serious. Pa. tr,o1s were then left to guavd ·the dikes as a safety measure but the . workers were free to, leave since the fight had been won.

Tuesday noon the soldiers were moved out to go to Kansas CiW to continue flood fighting. By mid-afte~noon, the campus was almost back to normal , and the flood danger .was' almost forgotten. It will be a while before the damaie is repaired in the actual flood area but this is small compared to what the danger could have been if the dikes had broken.

A vot of thanks should go to all the faculty, colloge students, high school students, towns people, soldiers and all others who helped avert this disaster.

Ouer the Shoulder The younger generation is going ·to the dogs! . . . This iB a common saying among some of our olde•r citizens, but ·undoubtedly their opinion of the younger set changed some· when the flood· situation arose. The students of Peru, · as well as young people all over the Midwest, rose. to the ,emergency •and contributed their services to those people ·who were in need.

If we check the records however, we will see that this 'is not the first time that the students of Peru State. helped th rout in time of need. In the disasterou:s flood of 1943 e stu· <dents andi faculty members loyally f6ught the big Mo, but ;with less success than this time.

Class To Omaha The office practice class under the direction of Miss Weare went to Omaha on Friday, March 28, on a field trip.

They went first to the Northern Natural Gas Company's new office biulding wq.ere they saw their office machfrie~, weather bureau, and toured their beautiful building.

The class pfoeeeded to the Mutual Benefit where the filing systems were seen and explain. ed during the tour. The group ate lunch at the Mutual cafteria. · At one o'clock they left Mutual Benefit and went to the International Business Machine's Ofoffice for one hour. While there the members of the group were given <.> chance to try their electric typewriters. They .there saw the department where custom bookkeeping is done by I.B.M. After the visit to I.B.M., the greup left for the Union Pacific Railroad headquarters. Here they saw the operations necessary to run a large"'railroad.

After the day of tours was over · the grou_p went to the State The.atre and faw the movie, "Quo V2clis."

Peru State Wi II Offer Graduate Work Word that Peru State Teachers College is expanding its services to the people of Nebraska came Monday with the. announcement

by President Neal S. Gomon that the ool!ege, for the first· time in its long history, will offer a program of graduate study beginning with the coming summer school session which opens June 2.

In announcing the expanded program, President Gomon stresed the fact thait the courses to be ofl\ered will be of especial interest to present degree holders who wish to qualify for certification renewal or who wish to begin a graduate program leading to the eventual grianting of a Master's Degree by the University of Nebraska.

According to the terms of an arrangement with Nebraska University, graduate credit earned in these courses raay be transferred and applied toward a Master's degree with a· major in the department of education at the university, up to a-.maximum of nine semester hours, providing that not more than one course or three semester hours in a subject matter field may be approved for an individual student.

Peru graduate courses to be offered this summer include American Diplomatic History to 1877, Guidance, Measurement and Evalua·tion, Statistics in Educatio•, and Mental Health. The latter course will be offered only during the summer post-session, running August 2-16.

Peru State ~eads Peru State leads all other state teachers colleges in the number of graduates who are now students <loing .graduate work at the University of Nebraska, according to Dr. George Rosenlof, Director of Admissions at the University. Twenty-three students who hold AB degrees from Peru are taking the 1 advanced work.

At 10:50 Wednesday, April 16, President Gomon made an urgent reruest for volunteer male stud· ents to man the dikes. Approxi• mately 80 fellas answered call staying .on duty for hours a a time. This was a crucial tim as the current had increased from 5 to 35 DJl!'es ~er hour and the water was quiclMy rising.

During this time the girls wer busy in the cafeteria, prepar' sandwiches and coffee for the workers.

When dike one fel1a found his girl's · glass ring which she had lost i wrapping cookies.

Not all .the .work was strenuou <as a few of the fellas had a san bag fight. To break ·the monoto the boys sang durirog the nig and solos were presented b Bennie Duerfeldt.

As the giris proceeded to work the rain came. It was a drizzlin wet ran, but did not hamper the work.

The high school .students we out in full force doing more tha their part. Class barriers wer dropped. Everyone was workin for a common cause, that of sav ing Peru from the oncomin flood. If one did not know th person next to him, it took littl to get acquainted.

Up the line Mr. Wilkiinson w busy packing the sand bags fu to the top for Mr. Steele to car up the hill through the ruts mud.

Many incidents such as losi glasses, wearing sand bag ha and knee ·guards of sand ba would well tell the story of th efforts people were making.

At noon sandwiches and co !ee were brought out to the 1 hungry workers. The few nu passed from muddy hand to mu dy hand as everyone dipped in the pail of steaming coffee.

Over the Shoulder Per~ students finally turned o\!t in force for the last convocation and they were well rewarded. The convocation was one of the mqst outstanding that has been presented all year and tends to make the future teachers of our college realize the important part they play in the education of exceptional children.

-@Now that spring is here most of the organizations are .having their farewell picnics, but some of .these cultural sessions have developed into something more.

-@The City of Peru seems to have appreciated what the ·students did during the flood and their contributions to our new score board bring the total uP to $966.15. ·This is a good start on the proje'Ct, but sewral hundred dollars more are needed before our campus will be blessed with a new scoreboard.

~·The Peruvians will soon be out, commencement soon will be held, tests will be behind us, and all the other things ~hat denote the closing of another year. This year will probably be different from many former years because not only will the school lose fu.e. graduating,class, but most of the sophomores and juniors. The Campus of a Thousand Oaks may face a serious crisis as Uncle Sam beckons for most of our maie students, but ~e~e is no doubt that it will .carry on the age old traditions and remain one of the better .colleges in the stalte.

Ne Kyle Resigns Post Newt Kyle, director of basketball fortunes at Peru 'Slate since 194 7 has resigned his position~ here to become Director of Athletics .and hea·d qoach of basketball at Tarkio, Mo., College.

In five seasons at Peru State, Kyle's teams have won a total of 103 games and lost 38. Taking a green anrl inexperienced crew at the beginning of his first seaB·on here, the veteran mentor developed it into an NCC championship outfit and repeated again in 1948 and 1949. His 1950 ·team also won more games than any NCC opponent but was denied the .flag as a result of an .eligibility fracas. The season just passed was Kyle's worst a1 Peru as his team dropped 17 contssts while winning 10, for a fourth place NCC ranking.

In going to Tarkio, Kyle will be returning to scenes of former labors and triumphs. As a student at Tarkio in the twe:1ties, he became one of the school's all-time great athle'.es and he stayed on at his alma mate~ :i'or a successful coaching career that stretched over l4 years, with numerous championships, 2n:1. w2s climaxed when his lxisl(etbail crew won the Na~.ional As.sociation of Intercollegiate Basiketball Tournament at Kansas City in 1941.

Following his resignation at Tarkio, Kyle became head basketball coach at Hastings College for three years, goir,g next to Monmouth, 111., where he was ·engag·ed in special work with undcr-privil2ged children before con;ing to Peru.

Ray Taibl, the Director of Special Education for the State of Nebraska, was the speaker at Convocot 'r:,. on Fri:la'-. . When Mr. 'f::iibl first started to public school he was turned down for two years in succession because, oue to cerebral palsy, he was unable to grasp the blocks used in the intelligence tests. It was believed that he was feebleminded. Finally a Catholic grade school allowed him to pass fl]p)m grade to grade according to his age. When he entered high school his gym teacher, Lyle Blackbour'n started him with some exercises which helped him so much that he was able to finish high school and go on to college, where he 2ai':ied his degree in medicine and learned physical tl»erepy. He now has a Doctor's degree and has held ~everal positions of importance before becoming the Derector of Special Education in the 'state of Nebraska.

He gave a v,ery impressive talk which was well attended and appreciated by the students.

Mr. Jose Juan Pacheoo and his son of Venezuela who have been visiting on the campus were introduced to the student bo<ly.

'The last convocation of the year ended on a nostalgic note, as the student body rose and sang the "Color Song."

For Men 0ffly Well, guys, it's like this. There

is a small r.iatter of distortion that we must discuss seriously.

Maybe we should do it in this manner.

For example, your ears catch a story; perhaps it may be a min'°r scandal. About thirty minutes later, on your way to the Bobcat Den, you hear it again. In the meantime, it has grown to be a "whale of a tale." It may involve one of your friends or a member of yow family. More likely the main character is just "the" character that you do~'t know, but that you know of. 1 The story isn't so funny as it grows.' You hear it the third time ;and it has become worse. It is walking on the character of the ·victim - - with trampling intentions of "six feet down." When you hear it the fourth time, you take 'the idea that th~ worst two;thirds of it is false.

Are you one of those fellows who builds a mountain out of a mole hill, crosses a river before getting to it, and pays no attention to the laws of gravity by making a story fall up instead of down with the -blast of your tongue?

We all seem to be guilty to a certain extent at uncertain times.

A sure rule to follow in order to avotd utterance of words that may lead to what the masses call "gossiping" is to avoid saying what you wouldn't want anyone saying. about you.

Well, girls, we're glad you read this as it pertains to you 13 times more than to the boys, and we know you read this as we headed our editorial "For Men Only.~ -Claude Norbrook

Common Sense Is Delineated "What shall I wear," and "I wonder what the others will be wearing?" These ·are matters of concern to everyone, but especially to the feminiile population.

Many a long-sliffering; husband, when faced with the problem of · . suggesting something for the "litt1e woman" to wear, has become somewhat d!sgruqtled at her reply that !night :shund like this: "That old rag? Why I wouldln',t ·be caught dead in that thing!"

'This in turn might lead to even more interesting discussion of "How many more clothes Mrs. Jones has than I," or "Tha;t lady down the street has a fur coat.

Don't see why we can't afford one for me."

Shall we then attempt to analyze our motives for being so meticulous in our dress? One reason keeps swimming to the surface. Although ch&racter is the fundamental essential in a community where we live yet, for ;the f1eeting impression we make in public, we need two superficial attributes, good manners and a pleasing appearance. Granted tha.t these are mutual objectives, we must decide how to best attain them. ,Are we plagued with the dread disease, ''.Fashionitis"?-Those afflicted with the malady might well be compared to sheep who

blindly follow other sheep without sense of distance or direction.

As the fashions of the new season are unveiled, we run and •:lress ourselves in a duplica:tion of others.' Our own types or personalittes have nothing to do with t~ case. Fashion dictates, "Wear a three - comered handkerchief instead of a blouse," al:\d immediately women of all ages jump to do her bidding. · A "chic" wo.man (pronounced shieek) is always a little different, not behind the fashion, but slightly apart from it. The woman who wants to be distinctive will adapt her clothes to her riersonality.

C1othing "obesity" is one of the great problems of American women. Emily Post lists in her book on the subject of ettiquette a number of "Don'ts" for fat women. Don't wear eccentric clothes or clothes in light colors. Never wear tight-fitting clothes as they will only make you look fatter.

Satin is an unsuitable material for th@ stout since the high lights are too shimmeringly accentuated.

Dull-surfaced,, soft materials and, sty1es that have some loose sort of drapery are best. "" Most persons have at one time wond1ered whether they would be appropriately dressed .fOr the occasion. There is one rule that is fairly safe to follow-when in !doubt, wear the plainer dress.

There are. few pla,ces where one cannot fittingly go in plain clothes. However, if the mode of dress in the community is obvious then, by all means, "do as the Romans do." And with that timeworn adage, we conclude this article. · -Ella Meister

Patrons of the Bobcat Den cannot fail to notice/ the new motto Benny Benson chalks on the blackboard each morning.

Tuescray, June 24, 1952-what a day!

Have you ever written a featurn article. No? Then you've missed one of the greatest pleasures of a happy life. You have missed the thrill of sitting before a blank piece of paper, searching for words that will not come, hoping for ideas that will not formulate. If you have never known these lovely things, here's the best method of enjoying them.

First, you have to have just what we had this Tuesday. (It wasn't bad but please, Mr. tevitt, next time dol;l't use nails in your club - a common, professional ~nseball bat is more refined.)

Next, YrOU "get on the ball." And don't you dare let it roll away from you . .

Then you get· a piece of paper, the blanker the better. Sit down before a typewriter, preferably the kind with a blank keyboard.

(See, th~t makes it easier if you have things in common.)

Now, with nothing, absolutely nothing, to give you any ideas, you're ready to start.

So now you know how and, sin6e I have the above to guide me, I can dash off a feature of this size in about three hourn of continuous writing, typing and stinking. Ain't it wonderful what education can dot -Claude Norbrook

Consequence of talking with members of th2 journalism class: "The psychiatrist finished his notes and turned to Tom Whitney and said, "I'll be perfectly frank, Tom. I find nothing the matternothing abnormal-and I shall so inform the students in the journalism class." , "Thank you, doctor, I was sure you'd ~ay that,'' Tom replied, "I only came here to please those journalists. After all, there's nothing very strange about a fondness for pancakes, is there?"

"Pancakes?" repeated the psychiatrist. "Certainly not. I'm fond of t'hem myself."

"Are you?" Tom queried. brightly. "Then you must come over to my room in the dorm. I have trunks full of them!"

Benny, operator of the campus cafe, believes in dishing out proverbs with the chow. When asked. how he chanced upon this unique ddea. Benny said that he used to be on the road .a great deal and once every we·ek he stopped at a certain cafe at Louisville for lunch. The proprietress of the cafe had mottoes printed on the bulletin board, directly above the counter. The idea appealed to him so much that when he came to Peru, Benny wrote to the lady ,to find out her source of supply.

Instead of telling him where she ·found thlim, she wrote him sever~! pages of them. Says Benny, " I read quite a bit too, and I find some good onef; in Reader's Digest and other periodicals."

Following are samples of the wit and wisdom suppl}ed with each meal: "Don't think that every sad-eyed woman has loved ~nd lost-she may have got him." or, "It is wise to make your words palatable, just in case you have to eat them."

Perhays we are intended to wash these words down with a cup of coffee, but whether we take them literrally or not, they at least send us on our way with a brighter outlook on life.

"There's one thing you can't do," responded Wayne West.

Voss Smacks Winning Game

Luck of the Lock Marriage, that institution for those who are not yet ready to be sent to an institution, has been defined as a "word which is not f. word but a sentence," or "a word that was originally spelled 'm-i-r-a-g..Je'," br "the only life sentence which is suspended because of bad behavior." This arrangemene' takes two people to complete: a girl and her mother.

The business-minded individual has said that in marriage the husband is the silent partner; it may sometimes be an association, of two persons for the benefit of one. To the gambler, marriage is a lottery in which the wifo sometimes loses-she does, not always become a widow.

Regardless, wedlock is just a condition to whi<;h most women aspire and to which most men submit.

As for Wife (usually referred to as .the "bitter half") she is the one who "generally speaking, is generally speaking." She remembers her birthday but forgets which one it is; she no longer demands hrer husband satisfy her -slightest wish as long as he takes care of the larger ones.

Wife pi ck s her husband's clothes and then his pockets. She would be less dangerous if hieT man could fall into her arms without falling into her hands.

The female spouse is attractive at twenty, attentive at thiJ.ity, and adhesive at forty.

Husband, on the other hand, is just thre male animal who never ilmows when he is well off-because he never is. He's the man

who has been married for better--or worse, and he's the masculirnl trouper who was not against marriage, but up against

.Swenson Park Named for Peru Grads

But, Bachelor is the man who thinks before he acts-and then dioesn't act, the man who knows when to stop, and the inan who knows mor'e about women than married men do-which is one reason why he's a bachelor. Of course, he's lliOt the cowardly, cruel, and wholly selfish man who is cheating some nice woman out of a profitable divorce. He's the man who has no children to speak of.

Pitcher Marilyn Voss's softball team batted a winning game on Wednesday evening, June 25, a gainst the girls having Bonnie Dohse as ball thrower. The score 'Was 11 to 9.

Teammates with Dohse were Pug Clausen, catcher; Phyllis Parriott, firSt base; Valda. DeFreece, second base; Carolyn Yohe, third base; and :Dorothy Edmunds, fielder. 'The opposing player~ were Dean · 1Downing, catcher; Evelyn Freudenburg at first base; Charlotte ClauMll. at second base; Muriel Rieke, third base and Velma School, fielder.

Al Wheeler was fielder for both sides. Benny Benson umpired and Jo Howard kept score.

'Tribute was paid to Bert and Stella Swens,on, donors of the Peru State IS\venson Athletic Award, when on May 31, the Stockton, Calif., 18 h0le golf course was dedicated and named the Swenson Park.

Given each y.e.ar to the senior athlete who best meets the qualification of aithletic ability, character, scholarship and lea~ership, the Swenson Award, a gold watch,. is a memorial to their son, Bert Swenson, Jr.

Wives of Faculty Begin to Swim Five faculty wi'l'es, Mrs. Gomno, Mrs. VanPelt, Mrs. Eddy, M!1s.Downing and Mrs. Heywood have registered for beginning -swimming. They agree that it's a wonderful recreation on a hot summer day.

A <:ourse offered on the campus this. summer for the . first time. is .Round and Square Dancing. A deplorable .situation exists in this class, that of a shortage of dancing pa tners for the girls.

Instructor Davidson hopes this m~tter will be remedied this fall.

The girls' softball game, which was for play on the football field Monday, June 16, around about or ther.e about the time of 7 p.m. instead of the scheduled time set

by T don't know whom, was not held as the so-called announcement led us to believe.

I, the so-called reporter, asked to repo!1t the above so-caUed! game for a so-called reporter of the so-called (or for the is-socalled college paper) traveled by hook and by crook of the thumbs from one rend of the field to other ends to find the whereabouts of the so-called players-to-be. At 6:45 p.m. this reporter finally caught away off in the distancedown on the football field-five players. (Maybe they were spectators. I never asked.)

After looking the sad situation over and under, I ·decided the scheduled softball game for girls was a flop for this particular evening. So, I returned to my one room abode to meditate as to the reason for such a small· attendance.

Now, at 11:45 p.m., I have ar·rived at no answer. Therefore, I shall close with the hope that ·next time I go to the l'lext scheduled ga,;te I will have something "good" to re\ort to you.

In other words, "No Game."

Germ Enemy On Campus

Library Liberations Library personnel praise the varied type of reading and reference work, which is of marked difference in comparison to othet lterm being done. by PSTC. students ,this summer. ' !Recommended book for summer reading is "Life in ,Americ;a"

by Ma'tshall B. Davidson. As"· a staff member of the Metropolitah Museum of Art, Davidson believes that history is more fully understood when interpDeted with the aid of arts. Containing many wonderful lithographs, "Life in America" may constitute the most convincing record that is of the past.

Summer school students may find the. painting of Peru Campus, displayed on the north wall just east of the inside door, of interest. The artist is \Norma Didtie!.

Iowa, Students Travel Far Fremont County, Iowa, is well represented on the Peru campus.

Farragut residents Mildred War!Iler ,and Verna Davis, travel 10(} miles each school day to come to Peru. Fellow commuters arriving in the same car are Mrs. Blanche Sch1e;tzer from Riverton, 1and Mildred Beam, Evelyn Mather, and Wayne West from Sidney.

Passengers in the second car from Fremont County are Maxine Hanning of Anderson; Blanche York, Sidney; and Bessies Graham, Percival.

Whitney Takes To Air Waves Tom Whitney, a talented singer and guitar player, broadcasts every Saturday at 1:3(} p.m. over KFNF, Shenandoah, Iowa. He is a member of the Blue Valley Boys. The program is sponsored by the 0. A. Cooper Company, Humboldt. The Blue Valley Boys own approximately $550 worth of guitar apparatus and have made 400 personal appearances. Tom says, "We will certainly appreciate any cards, letters, and requests received in our very first days in the entertainment field."

There is good reason to believe that an enemy is waging germ warfare on PSTC. The center of infection seems to be at the Music Hall where disease has struc~ twice this summer.

Authorities suspect that this unknown enemy, who is attempting to wipe out Peru civilization, is none other than the Hastings Broncs.

One of the victims, Mr. Darryl . .T. Manring, was felled by a case :.of the mumps. The other, Miss \}eorgie Fitz, was stricken with the red measles the day before ·her recital. She was. forced to postpone her June 18 voice recital, but her wedding took place as scheduled on June 21.

Through The indows Comes the sound of dripping water from the bowl of the garden. water fountain and the noise of heavy tractors laboring across the hillsides with tons of dirt.

Through my own hazel windows comes "Pr.ofessors' Price," Time M&gazine, July 28, 1952, under the heading of Education. As I finish the article writen by Pro"'fessor Long, the roar of the tractors becomes more audible, but thro;igh it all I can hear the echoes of the voices extolling the virtues of the profession of those who continually submit to the whims of the populace, childpampering parents, occasion:illy dominant boards and 2.dministrations, fondlers of tradition and, last but not leq.st, the moralists.

"As is the teacher, so is the .school" has been quoted for 2 number of years in educational circles as an ap;iroved philosophical axiom. The quotation originally came from P'estalozzi, early European educator who has been duly recognized in American educational history. Tl'le article by Professor Long seems to in::'icate that the above statement bv Pestalozzi may have become • Qbsolete. In case of doubt, perhaps we should evaluate the overall educational procedure in order to identify whatever it is that determines what a school "is as." If a :school is as it ,,,:as r.ot. '.:hen \Ve should understand that it is not what it was, and understand what it is as. Subsequently, the teacher may adequately adapt hin:>self to the minor role, which requires ·that he be "in charncter" perpetually. Teachers find thems2lves to be silent, usually, because they are not often encouraged to contribute their best in educatioc, but to contribute their most, the 'r.outine. In other instances, teachers are denied opportunities to ,ldo th<:ir best. It is apparent th1t measurement and evaluation spends a lifetime in the hectic<J.l classroom where it originates and seldom becomes the proper tool of the vast systems that foster it. Guidance and counseling at its best is not satisfactory.

In a world full of egos, it is not scientific to propose that teachers iShould survive and flourish to shape the destiny of the nation's children, the future leaders of the world, when we hardly know what that leadership is and know less about how it feels. To· expect teachers anywhere to thrive on their love for their profession, plus clothing and subsistence allowances, is much the same as expecting the newly-married to live on Jove when we know that the grocer will nDt barter with sympathy. Faced with increased living costs and new standards, new values inevitably arise which must be understood and satisfied.

The teacher must help himself and he must be helped to help himself; if necessary, it IS pnssible to quote sages older than Pestalozzi. ~J.D.L.

r.olenmce and Und~rstanding

Are ~ynonymous Some persons become intolerant and criitcal of others without realizing it or really wanting to be so; we are intolerant and pr.ejudiced because of Jack of understanding.

Tolerance must be understanding. Rather than judge others by personal concepts and views, we should nmember not to be ciitical of their actions nor fo ponder the motives that prompt their behavior, for each one is learning in his own way the le~sons he rceeds to learn about life whether we ca:1 s2e this is so or not.

Unuerslaading hearts are the "I,earis of great price." Persons V-iili1 understanding hearts are ;jc,,.:i:is iree from fear, con.demnation and hatred. They seek to rn6er.stand the needs of ·others and to say and do that which clarifies and harmonizes differences. They need no: accept the 'opinions of others nor do they need to approve their actions in crder to maintain altitudes of tplerance. They withhold critcism andlor cond<:mnation.

In our associations with others we differ with them, we feel led to say things that challenge their thought about themselves or about the way something should be dcne. Some perrnns retreat within themselves in silence- when these differences arise and others speak out bluntly. Neither silence nor bluntness rrings understanding i!nd broadened viewpoints. It is under.standing and broadened viewpoints that produce solid relationships.

To have relaxed, comfortable relationships, we must speak with others but we must speak in full respect for other's -rights and views: we see persons with de.,.,,,es ,,. 5 .1spirations as important as our own. The secret of such attainment is ·to learn to look beyond the things that seem difficult to approve or under,stand to the good that is surely present.

The practice of looking for ,scmething good in every person and in every situation creates a flexibility of mind and openness of heart that enables us to be understanding of others and that inspires us to minimize failings and or shortcomings.

-"Claude C. Nordbrock

Overheard Overheard at Delzell Hall during TV: "I can't see-move your head." Replied Verna Davis to Mildred Beam's request, "Okay, where to." . . . . 'But when a "blank picture" appeared on the set, Verna qruic1i:ly turned and said to Mrs. Beam, "That's not my head."

No D~ath-w~ Immortality Immortality~

exemptio'.! from from death; the maintainance of eternal life in-the body, or more commonly, as a soul or a spirit; exemption from oblivion; everlasting fame; theologically, an everlasting existence with God. E;;emption from death-who or what? No answer,--merely exeml)tion from death; At first ,;,e think of it personally. Could you or I, or someone like we, be execmpted from deoith? Som<: of us certainly believe so. At least we can't perceive our world /without us. But here again we 0re thinking personally, a tendency of the human mind. Even a prolongation of life in our bodies has been sought-throughout the centuries, and many a life has been wasted trvinr. to find it. But as yet the Rlixir-' has eluded us, ;ind we must sati<:fy ourselves with the years alloted us.

But in a greater sense, we know that our bodv i~ temuorary.

Wp know that our organs cease to perform, our bodies grow cold, and we ar.e, what the doctor announces, dead. But doe&n't the human mind try to find ;:in extension of life-a H"PPY Hunting Ground, a reincarnation, a Heaven. or a Hell? This is for the soul or spirit and fulfills a basic human need. It guides people's daily lives, their thoughts, words, and actions. The eternal life of the soul spurs us on to better deeds. 't'he word immortalitv has qnother place in our lan~ag~, d~­ fined cis exemution from oblivion.

Great men of politics, science and mathematics, music and art, 1_i t erature and drama, and relig1 / 10n have made themselves im',P1ortal by their works. You've · 'heard their names-Julius Cae·cor.

Napoleon Bonap'lrte, Aristotle, Hinnocrates. l udwie: von BPethoven. Geoffrev ChaucPr. WilL i8m Shakespeare, Leonardo cla Vinci. Saint Auf'ustioe. and many more iust as familiar as these.

Qometirnes their works are called immortal, nsnrcially in the fi.eM of music, litenture. drama, and art. These too can easilv be n2med.

• Theologically; the word immortality means an everlasting existence with God. God gives us life and God gives. us death.

-Gertrude Chase

Kiss of Fire Red or blistered skin is not necessarily a result of touching a hot stove or being scalded with hot liquids. Any person determined to succeed can easilv ;i.cnuire a skin of "lobsterish" hu~ by followirg this simple procedure. 't'o begin, you must wear as few garments as decencv allows oecause the idea, of cou;se, is to expose the largest possible area of epidermis to the sun's rays..

A. swimming suit is best, but if you cannot obtain one, ~harts anci a halter or midriff will meet t.he need. , A blanket or beach towel to lie on is a "must," for the obvious reasons that you don't wish to be disturbed by insects, nor do you care to lie on the hot sand, ~ement. ot gr2ss. (Whichever it may be.) Also desirable, though nGt Decsssary are a pair of sun r!,]a,s~s 2r,d bottle of sun tan or baby oil. (Only a coward will us<: the latter. Your aim is to get a sun burn.)

Having completed these preparations, you must next search for a secluded spot enclosed, if possible, by hedge or trees; proceed to this spot with towel or blanket, sunglasses, and enough reading material to occuny your mind while you are broiling.

After an hour or so of lying on your back, your top half should be sufficiently "done" to enable Y•OU to roll over and cook your

other side. The length of time you will bask, however, depends on whether you prefer to be rare or well done. In the latter case, you may have to be on th.e grill most of the afternoon.

Now that you have received Old !Sol's special beauty treatment, console yourself, in the painful hours that follow, with the knowledge that you'll be the envy of many a lad and l8SS when that sunburn turns in to a gold2n tan.

-Ella Meister

lynch At Convocation John Lynch, field representative for the NSEA, spoke in convocation Wednesday, July 2. Mr. Lynch recently returned from the NEA convention in Detroit.

He expressed his belief concerning five major issues in educQ.tion to be expected during the next five years. l. Separation of church and state.

2. Teaching religion in schools.

3. Progressive education versus fundamentalism.

4. Loyalty. There is a movement in the eastern part of th<: eastern part of the United States to eliminate discussions of the UNESCO which is considered to be a universal subject on the east coast. Anything mentioning socialism or communism may be stamped out or tabbed. ;\. Labor versus management.

'Laber resents_, the amo.unt of money that management can and 'doe.s spend · in gaining prestige with sducatbn. Management is ·spending more money for the purpose of getting more favorable imnression with education and is considering labor to see more the Ca ult.

To this conclusion the appeal for increasing the interest in membership for the purposes of strengthening individual's position and strengthening of groups, and for tbe purpos·e of sponsoring more and increased leadership as a result of organization.

New G. I. Bill Approved Congress passed a revised G.I. bill early this month, and it was approved by the Presiderit, which will make it pqssible for those called to the an:l!.ed forces due to the Korean situation to attend college.

College enrollments all over the U.S. have been reduced because of the Korean conflict and because. veterans of World War II have completed their school work under the G.I. bill that was nassed for their benefit.

Work on the improvement at the colkge stadium has progr~ssed to the stage that about half . the earth moving to make a parking site on 'the east side of the scadium has been completed.

A prime ,earth mover powered 'by a large caterpillar tractor is working long hcurs scooping up loads of from 10 to 16 cubic yards of material from the hill side and carrying it around the north end of the stadium to be pushed by a bulldozer to fill a swale at the :northwest end of the stadium site.

The parking space, b1<ing carved out .of the hlll side, will accommodat1e 75 to 100 autos which can be stationed so their occupants will have a good view of stadium activities. The parking lot area will be surfaced with crushed rock. Entrance to it will be through Vetville.

A major portion .of the earth moving project, the digging of a drainage ditch to supplant the present drainage tunnel, remains to be done.

The other factor of the stadium work, installation of a new section of concrete seats, will probably get under way next week, according to Stacy Vance, superintendent of buildings and grounds at the college. The new ~eating will accommodate abou'.

1200 spectatoq.

Mr. Vance and college president Neal Gomon agr-ee that, barring some ur:forseen difficulty, the entire stadium improvement program will' be completed by September 1, in plenty of time for the coming football season.

Final Band Concert ' Given .Jnly 30 The last of a series of five band concerts will be held Wednesday evening, July 30, at 8:00 p.m., at the down-town business section of Peru.

Faculty Housing Survey Begun The state board of education for normal schools has au1ihorized the Peru State Teachers College !ocal committee, J. Hyde Sweet of Nebraska City, A. D. Majors of Omaha and President Neal S. Gomon, to survey sites and obtain cost estimates\for the erection of multiple-unit housing for faculty members.

Housing conditions are substandard and a;·e discouraging to faculty personnel, but because of the amount of .study necessary for such a huge undertaking it is considered doubtful whether any recommendations can be presented to the state board for several months. However, this project is of top priority and is to receive full attention.
