Students to Dance By Christmas The promise to "be a !iood dancer by the Christmas formal" issued in the invitation to all Peru State College students to take advantage of the Student Council sponsored ball room dancing classes has received enthusiastic response, reports Dean of Women Marguerite Haugen. At last week's first lesson 78 Peru Staters were on hand to start a series of ten lessons un-der the instruction of Charles ("Chuck") Berrf, music instructo·r in the Verdon school system, who has had professional training as a dancing teacher. From the basic rhythm steps the students will advance to th0 fox trot, waltz and swing. Besides mastering dancing, the students will also learn proper dandng etiquette and dress and how to converse in small groups, Miss Haugen said. Biggest obstacle in the dance lesson series, as indicated by the initial meeting, will be a shlJlI"tage of girls. Unless more girls show up for future lessons some of them will be dancing full time since the 52 boys enrolled outnumber the 26 girls two to one, says Miss Haugen. Lessons have been schedufod ten~ativiely for; Tuesday evenings,

Temporary Vetville housing will be removed and the area used for an extension of physical education facilities as was originally planned before Vetville was built in 1945. Eliminated from present consideration was the renovation or replacement of Mount Vernon Hall. The door has been left open, however, for replacement of the dormitory, constructed in 1897, within the next few years. Also deferred for future study was approval to build a heating tunnel from the gymnasium to Mount Verinon Hall. Reports of the presidents of the four state teachers college~ indicated substantial increase in enrollment in all schools. Preliminary counts showed resident enrollments of 801 at Kearney, 765 at Wayne, 394 at Chadron and 391 at iPeru. Total enrollment in the schools was up about 20 per cent. Attending the Saturday meeting were A. D. Majors, president; J. Hyde Sweet, vice-president; E. Albin Larson, secretary; Ralph Carhart, Mrs. Haven Smith, Ernest Johnson, Everett Randall and :Freeman B. Decker, all members of the board, and presidents Herbert L. Cushing of Kearney, Barton Kline of Chadron, John 'D. Rice of Wayne and Neal S. Gomon of Peru.

Prof. Robert D. Moore announces that "Outward Bound," Sutton Vane's three act fantasy, has been selected for the homecoming production of the PeruDramatic Club, November 6. It is the story of a voyage which begins ordina,rily enough until one of the passengers observes that no one knows the ship's destination, then later ,discovers that the entire comp'a'lly, including himself, is dead. Th': play has dramatic appeal and controversial philosophy interspersed with a touch of humor. First presented in the Everyman Theatre in London in 192.3 and laterr the same year in New York, the play has received raVE' i1otices. After its first Broadwa:· presentation one writer called it "the real news of the dramatic season.)'

THE 1954 BOBCATS
Peru Ruins Stadium Dedication 19-6
Coach Frank Masek enjoyed a successful inaugural as the Peru Prep footbal mentor on Friday night, September 10, as his Bo!J.. kitt'ens turned apparent defeat into a 7-6 victory in the waning minutes of the st:ason's opener with Humboldt High Scnoo!. lThe host Humboldt crew had been in front since early in the second quarter when a long pass and a 17 yard end scamper had crossed the double stripe. With three minutes to go in the game Peru's Eldon Allgood crashed through the Humi:ioldt defense to block a p_~nt which the Kittens recovered on their foe's fifteen. A few minutes later Peru quarterback iSid ·Brown, keeping the ball on an option play, went around left ·end to score. The important extra point was al.so turned in by Brown who ran the s·ame play to the right.
Peru State Bobcats, putting together touchdown drives in the first and fourth periods, took a 20-0 wiri Friday, Sept. 17, from Coach Herb Meyer's Concordia College team, keeping their current victory striing intact as they ran the total to 23 consecutive wins. The dying moments of the first quarter saw the fi>rst Peru counter, set up by fullback Kenny Clark's interception of a Concordia aerial on the midfield stripe. Starting there, halfback Dkk Adams and Clark combined efforts to pick up a first down in three plays, halfback Del Stoltenberg ran wide for five then took a pass from quarterback Ken :steward to move to the host twelve. On the next play Stoltenberg took anotl'er pitchout to cross the double stripe. Steward's extra point kick was nullified by a Peru offside and the second attempt, a .Steward pass to end Bob Humphrey, fell short. '

The Oklahoma performance of Gary Sands proved that line ·Coach Jerry Stemper has few worries about the left end spot. It was also apparent that the Peru mentor will have a backfield with strength to spare, being able to call on Stoltenberg, Eckman, Steward, Adams ·and Clarlk, Thomas, Majors, Allen, and Norris each of whom performed nicely in the opener. Mention should also be made of the a(\ded strength which will apparently be available at guard where Paul Carothers was a big .ray of hope and frosh Glen Heywood managed to stand out in his brief appearance, as also did Rosenquist and Crookham.
Cats drew a five yard penalty for being offside. An Eckman pass fell to the ground, but a second try to fullback Ken Clark was complete and yielded a first down on the Aggie two yard line from where Eckman sm:xke<l through the middle for the touchdown. He added the extra point with a place kick.

The Oklahoma gale which blew across the field t~roughout the game resulted in the Bobcats getting in the hole a few minutes later ' as Steward's kick was blown out of bounds after trav·e!ling only 15 yards. From their ·'.Jwn 40 the hosts then opened up with everyehing in their bag of tricks, staging an atttck which thrilled the crowd of over 5000 right doWTI to the final gun. The Bobcats stopped the first assault and took over on their own 32 with four minutes remaining but the Aggies recovered a Peru bobble at that point and moved to the Peru 25 before a vicious defense made it fourth and eight on the Peru 23. Big Carl Hamilton, on a reverse, made it to the Peru five and the Aggies had a fil'st do,wn with 39 seconds remaining. A crack at the center yielded a yard and with third and four the officials detected an cffside. Starting on the nine with fou>rteen seconds to go Hamilton tried left end but was immediately dumped in bounds on the seven as guard McMullen and end Humphrey caught him, with four seconds remaining to end the game. Coach Al Wheelr .said after the game he was satisfied with the performance of his forward wall the biggest pre-game question'. 'l'Le singled out as exceptional the pe't-formance of his guards, McMullen and Burt Adams. The defensive performance of NCC center ,Fred ApPleirate was all his Peru followers have come to expect and the veteran pivot man further demonstrated his value by taking over at left end for about half the .game.

Rodger Majors, halfback from Peru is the prime ground gainer for the Bobcats according to statisti0s on the first two games. Majors has lugged the ball 19 times for an average of 6.5 per try. Del Stoltenberg is his closest competitor with an average g:i.in of four yards in a total of 18 attempts. The two Bobcat quarterbacks, Ned Eckman and Bus Steward have emerged as the forward passing leaders. Eckman has tossed 14, completed seven for a total gain c.f 88 ya!'ds. One was 1a touchdown pass. ,Steward has thrown 14, completed five for a 73 yard total. Inasmuch as the five touchdowns made by the Bobcats thus far have been racked up by five different individ~ uals, Eckman's eight points for a touchdown a,nd two convel'sions, make him the team's leading scorer to date. Away out front in the kicking department is Steward with a total of 327 yards in 11 boots for a 30.0 average.

Prep's scores came in the final quarter and came after both coaches had bee:un to substitute freely.

The gamt: was made more enjoyable for the good-sized crowd by the accurate announcing of Principal Richard Van Pelt.
Penalties kept the Bobcats pretty much in the hole and· forced them to wait until the final period to fatten the score on a twenty yard screen pass play from Eckman to Clark. It was the culmination of a drive which travel 64 yards in seven plays. Eckman's placement was perfect to run the count to 13-0. Only 11 seceonds remained in the ball game when the Wheelermen scored again. Three desperation passes by the hosts had been batted down and the Cats took over on the Concordia 20. Halfback Bill All en promptly Ecampered to a first down an the six, then halfback Don Thomas, running wide to the left with throwing- intentions, found himself bottled up and reversed his field, rnakiing it over by a whisker. Steward's point try was good. The Peru State defense, somewhat leaky in the first half, was changed in the second period and turned in an air-tight performance. At no time during; the game did Concordia penetrate deeper than the Peru 30. The game was the season opener for Concordia and pre-game ceremonies were given over to a dedication of the college's new athletic field.

The greatest other single stock answer came from those who were undecided-52 of the 276 students answering the questionaire. Nine students' interests centered on agriculture and related fields, with two of that number indicating they would, like to enter forestry work. The professions will claim many Peru Staters, with 'engineering firms getting nearly 20 of the students who. indicated they were persuing :a pre-engineering curriculum at Peru State. :Two in the pr·e-professional category indicated an interest in law. One young man answered that he was planning to enter the ministry. The field of home economics is the interest of nine women who answered the survey question\. Some of these are already married, so their work along this Hne will undoubtedly be limited to domestic duties in their homes while others probably have marrriage in mind after having taught home economics in high schools.

"Zoril" A Problem Journal Airs To PSTC Students Education Views There has been much controversy over the present trend in modern education. An investigation was made last Friday and the committee was shocked to find that very. few Peru Staters were familiar with simple five letter words. This report shows a cross section of answers to the question: "lf someone gave you a ZORIL, what would you do with it?" Bob Kramer: "Tear it up in little pieces and feed it to my .;fish." Betsey Hartman: "I'd ride it." Dick Corwine:· "Take a close look at it and try to figure out what it was." Carolee Morse: "Take music lessons and try to play it." Ray Ehlers: "Bury it." Liz Naffziger: "Mop up the !floor with. it." Hank Hart: "Take it to bed with me." _Jerry Ludwig: "Give it to Bert Adams." Gloria O'Hara: "Put it in a bottte and give it to Mrr. Christ.'" Miss Hazel Weare: "I'd pet it." Paul Carruthers: "Burn it." _ Shirley Williss: "I'll take anything that's free." Eldon Carmine: "I'd wear it." Peggy Eickhoff: "Use it for a .cheerleading mas'Cot." June Slater: "Go to the Homecoming Dance with it." Clyde Allen: "Throw it back in .the ocean." Tom Moen: "Put it ort: a Model ·A Ford." , Janee Nance: ''I'd feed it to 'Fat' Eckman." In case you're wondering, a Zoril is a skunk.
What do want of our schools? In an issue centered on America's unprecendented educational problem, the "Ladies' Home Journal this mcmth examines our aims and methods of education. "We offer these stories and articles," say editors Bruce and Beatrice Blackmar Gould, "not as a cross section or endorsed solution, but to stimulate thos~ who must grapple with similar situations in their own communities." Six · distinguished edcuatOrs share theirr views in a round table forum, "Let's Attack the Problem-Not the Schools." Margery Wilson gives a three point plan for increasing teach-· ers' prestige and effioiency. Parents speak out abo.ut the schools in a survey by the American Institute of Public Opinion, and teachers have their say, too often denied to them, in· a selection of letters and articles called, "Let the Teachers Speak." Glenn M. White, associate editor of the Journal, gives new hope to , discouraged parents in "Your Child .Can Learn to !Read." And two male teachers discuss the personal problems of teaching in the How Yourig America Lives feature. Ed Hough, of Trenton, N. J., quit his $3700 teaching job to become a gas station manager so that h·e could support his wife and three sons. On the other hand, Bob Hart, of Verona, Va., says, "Teaching is my life-you place service before profit in your work." !Finally, the Journal presents complete a powerful, brutal new novel about crime in our ·public schools, ' 1Blackboard Jungle," by Evan Hunter.
Importance of Memorizing Stressed By National Education Journal Alice Freeman Fa1mer, one of the best and most loved teachers, used to tell her underprivileged children in the slums the way to find happiness. There. were three things to do each day: to learn ta line of beautiful poetry or of scripture; to observe something beautiful and if possible to share ,it with others; to do something to help another, with no thought of CT8d:t or recognition. Mrs. Palmer's plan called upon the chill for rnterest, attention, will, memory. Jt is the habit cf memorizing which we wish herre to emphasize. From the earliest days of babyhood the mind is being stocked with impressions which will color the whole of life. As the , child grows, memory reaches. the level of consciousness, but it·. is at first haphazard. Then comes the period of conscjous deliberate learning. This leaTning is at-. tached first to interest, later to will, which must come to control interest in ,any well educated person. The child comes into his real selfhood only in proportio.:ri as he learns to take charge of what goes into his own mind. The progress of the child's education is measured by the degree to which he brings his interrest under the control of his
will. Mere memory is -not thinking, but there can be no effective thinking without memory. In the beginning memory takes hold of the names of objects, numbers, ;words, Far example, for every new word he wishes i.to command, the ·child must fix in memory
three things-a se11,e, a sound, and a symbol. Leave out any one of these three and the process is i<ncomplete. If the basic tools, are not thoroly mastered, learning is impeded and soon arrested. The deliberate effort to. learn something daily is a life-long need. !Reading is better taught today than ever before. Children read widely, as the huge sale of chil.dren' s books and encyclopedias amply testifies, but it is not enough merely to encourage reading. The development of taste is also important. This can come only by the study of literature in its real sense-the appreciation of the true and beautiful things which are.. our common heritage. The best of these can be appreciated only by being learned by lleart and recited over and over until their hidden meanings become plain. School children once memorized many meaningless facts and recited lessons by repeating authors' words. This did not teach discrimination and there was properly a revolt against it. But, has not the trend away from memorizing gone too far? Should there not be a firm core of minim um essentials which every normal ~hild, who has finished say the sixth grade, can command with absolute accliracy and with ease and joy? Try testing for yourself any child in the sixth or the seventh grade to discover >Yhat the content of his mind is. Is he sure of the number combinations? What does he know of the history of his country and the geography

In 1910; before the trend away from memorizing had gone so far as now, the great psychologist William Jam es made the following observation in his 'Talks to Teachers: "The excesses bf old-fashioned verbal mem· orizing and the immense advantages o·f object teaching in the ea.rlier stages of culture have perhaps led those who philosophize about teaching to an unduly strong reaction; and learning things by heart is now probably s.omewhat too much dispised. For, when all is said and done, the fact remains that verbal material is, on the whole, the handiest and most useful material in which thinking can be carried on. I should say, therefore, that constant exercise in verbal memorizing must still be an indispensible feature in all sound education." · (NE:A Journal, October 1954)

Coach Frank Mas·ek's P:ru Prep team showed determination and a definite improvement last Thursday evening, but came in on tlle short end of a 14-0 score in the game with Auburn High here. The Bobkittens were able to stop the long runs against them whkh had been so devastating in t; 2 Weepinc; Water and Sidney, fa., games. But they wErre unable to stop the Auburn Bulldogs on their short, but consistent grnund gains, and were unable to generate ·any offemive steam them~ selves. Ccmsequently they spent a long and weary evening being ptFhed slowly, but relentlessly, across the field. Auburn backs Bob Noah, Dan Rogge and· John Griffith accounted for most of Auburn's 16 first downs. Rogge and Alan Moody scoted the T.D.s. On Peru's only first down, it was Sid Brown · alternating with Rici). Graves who picked up the nec<essary yardage. The Bobkittens were outgained 235 yards to 49. One thing that the statistics show is that although the Bulldogs dominated the play all the way, the Bobkittens forr the most part, were able to hold when it counted most. 0

Dads Honored Dads of members of the Peru State College football squad\ were the honored guests in the school's famous Oak Bowl last Saturday nir;ht as the Bobcats went after their 26th consecutive football victory against the te·am from Midland College. · The fathers of the Peru players occupied seats directly behind the players' Q.ench and wore placards bearing the .same numbers as their sons' j.erseys. And as it turned out, t!Ie dads witnessed a thriller. The previous weekend, Midland College, the , Bobcats' Dads' Day . opponent, showed an amazing tendency to resume the practice they followed last year of rising up at un·expected times and whittling the giants down to size. They defeated Wayne State's powerful Wildcats by a touchdown, and that was equal to the best the Bobcats could do a week earlier. Coach Woody Greeno's Warriors, employing the :T' formation, proved to be a deceptive outfit with a bone-('!1.lshing· line play that swept the Wildcats into oblivion insofar as a bid for the conference standings is concernconcerned. The Midland offense is built around back Don Winter top ground i:rainer and scorer the 1952 Warrior squad and a deceptive runner who·se .swivelhipped tactics post a constant threat. ··

A candidate must make separate application for admission to each law school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him to take the Law School Admission Test and when.

Fr·ed Applegate and Don Thomas: standing, Ron Paap, manager, Paul Carruthers, John Crookham and Ned Eckman. Ken Clark, of ecours, will play the bench.
The Peru State Bobcats, twice beaten in 1954, will parade their wares for the old grads Saturday afternoon at the annual Homecoming :f\racas in the Oak Bowl. Their opponent will be Nebraska Wesleyan, 30-13 victim of the Cats in the 1953 Homecoming fray. To date the Plainsmen have won three, tied one and dropped four. The Kearney Antelopes, who broke the Peruvians' 26 .game win string, were held to the 6-6 tie. Keith Skogman, who coached at Dana College last year, has taken over the reins at Wesleyan. The Peru record lists wins at the expense of Panhandle A and M, Concordia, Wayne, Chadron, Midland and Doane, with losses
to Kearney and the champion Hastings. The Peru team, which came to life last week to blast Doane College 53-20 after two sucessive losses, will be operating without the services of its ace ground gainer, NCC fulback Ken Clark. The big senior line buster closed out his coUegiate career Friday night when he was carried from the Doane game with a broken ~eg. ,; Senior J:..ee Norris, who has been running behind Clark all season will probably get the call, although Coach Al Wheeler said Monday he expects to convert one of his ha1fbacks into a replacement for the position. He indicated the job might faH to either Dick Adams or Rodger Majors.
The Saturday meeting will he the 28th between the two schools and should break a 12-12 deadlock on the record books. Three meetings resulted in ties. The series staTted with 1a 5-5 tie in 1909 and the Wesleyan Coyotes took every game played until Hie Cats were finally able to comethrough in 1927 with a 22-0 win .. 'The last Wesleyan victory in the series was in 1948, when the Plainsmen won 12-0 . The 1953 contest, also the Homecoming featurre, was a real thriller for the old grads as Peru halfback Bill Allen ran the opening kickoff back for 98 yards and halfback Rodger Majors scored on a 79 yard gallop with an intercepted pass on the last p.l.ay •f the game.

Journalist's Creed Crime Article to Appear in l.H.J~ Following is "The Journalist's Creed"' os written by Walter Williams of the College of Jomnalism of the University of Missouri. I believe in tl:Jie profession of journalism. I believe that the public jour- . na:l is a public trust; that all connected with it are, fo the full measure of their responsibility. trustees for the public; that acceptance of less2r service than the public service is betrayal of this trust. · I believe thBt clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness, ar.e fundamental to good journalism. I believ.e that a jouri.nalist shou1d write only what he holds in his heart to be true. I believe that supression of the lnews, for any consid.eratio:n other )than the welfare of society, is indefensible. I beli:eve that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentlleman; that bribery by one's own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading anoth~r's ins1.ructiOlllS or ianother's dividends. I beli€ve that advertising news, and editorial columns should alike serve the best inter.e>ts of ireaders; that a simgle stanc1ard iof helpful truth and cleanness ishould prevail for 1all; that the $upreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.

The game was p!ayed at Nebraska City befote a spaTse crowd that braved near-freezing: temperatures to be rewarded with just about every thrill known t0; football.

In the third quarter the hosts picked up two more scores to Peru's one to make it 26-12, and then in the final quarter the Indians scored three more times. Prep's first touchdown came a$ Richard Graves broke through the center of the line and ran 48 yards to pay dirt. Their second came on .a pass from Sid Brown to David Longfellow, who was standing in the end zone. This play was good for 35 yards. Five of Tecumseh's T.D.s were on pass plays, three from Finn to Stinson and two from Finn to Huff. Wherry got loose on an end run Wlhich accounted for .another. This was set up by a 15 yard penalty against Peru. The other was accounted for by a recovered fumble by Ramsey.

By Pauline Guenther Next semester students will e an oportunity to take an el·e course in the History of 'Renaissance on Tuesday and. rsday mornings.

Mr. ollins will be assisting Mr. Kenon in the presentation of material, to prevent the political as,pects of the Rmaissance from 'over-shadowi'l1g the cultural contributions of some of-the most ·significant centuries in the history of man. The Renaissance, which means. "rebrrth," began in Italy, and came from the r.ediscov.ery by medieval man of the literature and learning of the dassical days of Rome and Gre2ce. The discovery was a gradual process arnl it is inaccurate to put defmite dates to the beginning and end of the period. As an approximation, it is safe to say that the Italian phase of the iRenaissance began after 1200 A.D. and ended befor.e 1600. In countries farther to the north the Renaissance began much later and .ended even more gradually, and later, than it did in Italy. Dante's Divine Comedy is probably both the last of the great medieval poems and the first of the Renaissance poems. Boccaccio's Decameron, and his precur\Sor of the modern novel, "F~am metta," and tragedy "Filostrato" are other early Italian works of the p2riod. Ariosto and Machiavelli are latecr examples of Renaissance •authors whose works are well known tod•ay. P:2rhaps one name, from England, shows the full effects of the Renafocance in the literary field mor2 than any other-Shakespeare. And he was but the gr2atest of dozens of au·· thors throughout Emop2 who represent the upsurge in creative writi:ng cause'd1 by the Renais·· sance. iSimilarily, .C211ini, Michelangelo, Ghiberti, da Vinci and Botticelli are but a small sampling of the great artists of the Italian Renisssance, and with th2ir northern counterpc.crts -from Durer and Holbein to Rembrandt and Hals, are among the greatest .artists the world has ever kinown. The history of the R2naissance, .as :Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Collins intend to teach it, will be limited to approximately the yeacrs 12001500, as far as political history is concerned, although the cultural aspecfs will be brought down to a later date. Mr. Kenyon explains this arrangement by saying that otherwise the course would have to include the Reforma ti an andi the religious wars that began shortly after- the year 1500, and such an extension could not be covered in a two credit hour course. Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Collins would app11eciate it if sttJ:dents interested in the course would notify them, so that sufficient references can be arralllged.

Education and Cultural Heritage That view of education which lays stress upon the transmission of the cultural heritage has on occasion been called "neo-humarnism." The term would be more acceptable if the prefix were omitted. Terms dubbed "neo" are 1.md2r suspicion of being Johnnycome-lately or at best derivitive and imitative. But the very essence of the hummist position is that it is founded upon the unbroken chain of human expecrience from the beginnings of recorded time, and in the oral tradition from the dim shadows of antiquity. Humanism as an educational philosophy mwns the continuous transmission fr om - generation to generation of what marn has learned and discovered in his business of surviving, of :adapting himself to his surroundings, and in striving to change ihose surroundings in the light of what at th2 moment he considers better. The essential :difference betwe211 the humanist and the idealist is that the 1atter cbims a set of absolute values which have been, are, and will be, and which man by virtue of his intellectual and moral growth sees more and more clearly as the ,goals toward which he is striving. The humanist finds no goals other than v;hat lie witLin the cultural heritage itself. Thes2 are relative rather than positive. Education for the hununist, then, is tra:nsmission o.f ,experience to.gether with certain eternal questions: What is true? What is good? What is beautiful? And on the contrary, what is false, ,svil, ugly? No system or scheme supplies the answers. Man will always seek them. The cultural past supplies both. the raw material toward the answers and the long history of striving; of answers wholly satisfactory for a brief time, .or of answers partially satisfactory for a longer time. In a primitive society the bulk (If the cultural heritage can be passed on from parent to child in the process of living. But in .a society like ours only a minute fraction of the lore .can be passed on by :direct experience. The major portion must be transmitted by professional instruction over an ever-increasing number of years: not long a.go the average was 3 or 4 years; now it is clos2r to 10, with every sign of advancing to 12 and beyond. The leaders of our society requir·e from 17 to 22 years of formal instruction, with additional semidirect learning through conferences and institutes. The overwhelming increase of :knowledge divides and subdivides the subj.2ct-matter of education to the point of disappearance of any common core of learning beyond the most eLementary skills. Yet the greater complexity of society itself demands a common center, a foundatien of intercommunication, if !it is not to break apart. Certainly a chief motive underlying the enucational movement called general education is the effort to sift out from the vast array of knowledge the materials which are common •and central in our culture, anid to make them the foundatiorn of our educational scheme. General education based upon the humanist's viewpoint has therefore certain distinct characteristics. In content it seeks to present the essential elements of the three great areas of knowledge: the humanities, the social
studies, and the sciences. It tenjds to give equal weight to these_ thr.ee, yet it often looks chiefly to the humanities for the answers to the great quest.ions of relative values. In organization it inclines to be historical, for its primary purpos2 is to show the 'Continuity of human experience, and thus through a study of the past to provide that perspective which leads to considered judgments upon present events. In method it lea'llS toward the bookish tradition, readings from the gr.eat documents of human experience forming a large part of the substance of instruction. It strives toward a unity of approach, the finding of common ·elements in the variety of knowledge, and has thus favored the integration of subject materials. Corncomitant with the transmission of culture, it claims the formation and promulgation of socially valuable attitudes: r-esp.ect for inan as individual man, for intellectual activity, for the search for truth wgardless of where it may lead, ancl for the duiy of responsible participation in the religious, civic, and social activities of mankind. -Robert C.

Tangy lemon rind gives Snails a flavor accent to enhance dawn to dark menus. From breakfast to midnight buffet, yeast bread$ appear as menu stand-bys. Top Snails with confectioners' sugar icing and serve with hot spiced tea or coffee for hobby callers. Snails are perfect dinner accompunirnents served plain with butter or margm·inc. For a break· fast treat, kush Snails with melted butter or margarine and sprinkle with shredded coconut before baking. A basic sweet yeast dough lends itself to many variations qy shaping and by additional ingredients. To make Snails, add a little grQtcd lemon rind to the basic sweet yeast dough. You'll be delighted by the perky flavor. Snails take only minutes to shape. Pinch off portions of dough and roll under your hand about 15 inches long and slightly less than 1;2 inch thick. Starting at the center, wind each strip of dough loosely, round and round. Hot breads tum the simplest me:m into a festive meal. Occasionally, when you haven't time to make your own breads, use packaged mixes or "brown 'n serve" rolls. The baker, too, saves you time by offering a tempting selection of breads during the holidays. Bread is nutritious, especially when it's made with enriched flour. Check to see that your baker uses enriched flour, and look for the enrichment label on all your purchased bread products. Plan to serve tender, good-tasting breads often.

The Bobcats of the present b'<at those of the past by a count of 64-62.

Education for Intellectual Deuelopment The critical view of g€1!1era'i .education may be summarily stated in the following propositions: ( 1) The primary responsibility of the educational institution en.gaged in general education is the intellectual development of the .student; (2) the primaTy aim of this intellectual training is the development of a capacity for ilntelligent judgment in the studrent.a "critical" capacity appropriate to the generally or liberally educated man_ or woman; (3) This ,critical capacity is to be "general" in the sense of being developed by a curriculum the cOTe of which provides a systematic and comprehensive range of experience of materials in the !humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences employed for the purpose of reflective analysis. The American colLege receives its students at a point in their lives when, in virtue of both natural processes of maturation and the social ins ti tu tions In which they have developed, tho:ir characters have akeiady been largely formed. But at the same time and for the same reasons, they have become or are becoming capable of true intel1ectual activity which expresses itself partly in a desire and capacity to perform more complex intelTectual operations and, more importantly, to thmk for themselves, to inquire rather than merely to "learn." Without assuming that no other processes of ch'ange are going -0n in its students or that their

The curricu'lum by which this capacity is to be developed would be constructed, not by merely imparting masses of information and teaching accepted theories, but by selecting; materials which cover adequately the major arreas.

Sack the Cat
Delzell Hall Close
Back where I came from,. it used to be a custom to unload: the aurplus of any new cat crop by loading the surplus cats in a gunny sack and dr-0pping the pitiful cargo out on a lonely road, where the cats (or kittens) coul<l.1 eventually wrest their unfortun1ate and unwanted bodies from the burlap to find refl!ge in scattered farm /houses. There is no particular custom for· dealing with public speakers rwho chuckle, chorlte, and scoff at the idea of using the limited (amount of time just .alloted to them by the chairman just before :the speaking time begins. Any number of instances can be cited in which an experienced public speaker insisted he could not pos©bly use the amount of tune alloted or the speaker had n-0 intention of using that qrnch time. Almost without fail those speakers continue it-0 flail the 1afr beyond the prescri:bed limits. ~ is .nat eonu~h that the speaker prove beyond any doubt that his prepiaration is not _organized to meet the time limits, but it is necessary to insult .an audience by falsifying the extent of punishment to be a'dministered, ' land necessary to .punish an audience by insisting that what he speaks is vital, during which time no one listens, effectively, because !the !llatural respect for the speaker has long since evaporated. T,he pcy'chology of effective communication is a matter of record hut it is apparently confined to the text, since the speakers we are !listening to are just not aware. When -time is involved, it matters. Man is a time binder, wears a wrist watch, jumps when he hears a whistle or a 'bell, sings 'Happy lBirthday' when he gets half a chance, is drafted when he is past 17, aoo retires when he is 65. When a speaker uses ten minutes from 300 people, he has a grave and honest responsibility that he does not abuse the donors of those 3000, 6000, or 9000 plus minutes. If he does, he ought to be sacked! -J.D.L.

Top Grade Performers Will Be Seen At Famous Sidney Rodeo During August Many of the students of Peru State Teachers College will be joining in the journey across the :Missouri rRiver to Sidney, Iowa, ·to attend the Sidney Rodeo. ·Held each year during the third week of August, this small to.wn turns into one of the most rapidly growing towns of the state. People begin to journey from the largest as well as the smallest cities in the forty-eight states, Canada and Mexico, to Sidney. Over night this town grows from a mere illOO to a city of more 1han 10,000, as it becomes a boom town over night. The '.Rodeo is sponsored by the Williams-Jobe~Gibson Post 128, Inc., American Legion, and re·quires close cooperation between both the Legion Post and the people of Sidney. Originally started as an Old Settler's Reunion, the first "Sidney Legion Rodeo" was introduced in 1924. Consisting of two -or three local so-called cowboys and a few "bad" farm horses. 'The cost of the first Rodeo was· about $50 compared to the cost of $2,500 per hour today. This attraction proved so popular that the reunion was soon overshadowed: by the Rodeo and in three years the Sidney Rodeo was a :major event. From its very first beginning, Sidney's Championshfp Rodeo has made annual progress until it is :now recognized as the largest outdoor Rodeo in·North America today. Cowboys and cowgirls come from all over the United States and Canada to Sidney each year to compete for the cash prizes. The Rodeo is owned, operated and controlled exclusively by the Williams-Jobe-Gibson Post 128, Inc., Amei-ican Legion. The Rodeo this year will be from August 16 through 20 wlth
both afternoon and evening performances. Last years winner of the All Around Champion was Casey 'Tibbs. On ·.the standings in the RC.A. for the All Around Champion for this year are the following men: 1st, Jim Shoulders;. 2nd, Casey Tibbs, with only 180 points separating them; 3rd, Harry Tompkins; 4th, Buck Rutherford; 5th, . Dean Oliver; 6th, Todd Whatley; 7th, Eddy Akridge; 8th, Alven Nelson; 9th, Bill Linderman, and 10th, J. D. McKenna. These were the latest standings of June 15. Last year the prfze money offered at Sidney was a total of $16,750. This year it will be increased to $17,500. If you really want a thrill of a lifetime during August 16~20, "Let's go to the Sidney Rodeo." Watch the next issue of the Pedagogian for the acts that will appear at this Rodeo.
Post Session Courses Six three-hour courses will be offered during the Peru State College popular post summer school session which begins July 30, acording to Dr. Andrew A. Weresh, dean of the college. :Puring the two-week session a student may earn three hours oil' college credit. Last year's session had 162 students enroll~d, ~n increase of 22 over the year Lefore. The six course offerings will include: History of the U.S. since 1865; Human Growth and Development (adolescent psychology): Fundamentals of Music; Rural School Management; Educational Measurements; and Elementary School Administration. The last two courses may be taken for graduate credit.

There has been in full swing this summer a girls soft ball league. The girls are pretty good, too. I have watched some of them play and I might add that a few of the girls could very well take Dr. Collins place on the town league, especially the way he went down swinging in last weeks game with Nemaha. All kidding aside the girls take the game seriously and have .a lot of fun. Coach Stemper, who is in charge of the tournament would like all who do not belong to a team to contact him if they are interested because tilere is plenty of room for new recruits,.

Students have been slightly inconvenienced because the <litchi makes necessary a detour out to the oil road when traveling from the administration building to the library. A new development in the project is the <:ommencement of digging upon the lawn in front of Mount Vernon Hall as the crew set to work at the foot of that building, just south of the main entrance. (iReporter's note: So long as the work does not alter the direct pa th to the cafeteria there will be no major inconwnience to either the professors or the student body.

Who Says They Know How to Park a Car? Just how many people in this world know how to drive and park a car? Undoubtedly there are thousands.

cars. It wouldn't be so bacL if the people' knew how to park these methods of transportation. If people would park correctly, undoubtedly more people would be able to park closer to their classes. ~ome of the automobiles are parked practically parallel, crisscross and any other way that might strike the driver's fancy. If ye wish to do away with this traffic problem, let's give the drivers of these autos a dose of Drivers Training during the post session to get them squared away on their problem of parking.

Boy and Horse Headed for Fame Have you heard the latest? We have got the inside track on the fading Qf your favorite cowboy star Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger. As we started going to press we received a release that Roy and Triggerr are on their way out. We could hardly believe .it, but it's true. · ' Who and what could take their place? This we kept asking ourself and everyone we met on the campus. We took a poll ·of the campus and reviewed the years that Roy has been a star and the decision is that it is time his reign should come to an end. Yef who is to take his place in glory! Now here is the latest scoop
of the century that you have all bern waiti11.g for, Miss and Mr. America! The new star who will be taking his place at the end of the summer will be no less than the son of one of our prrominent people here on the Campus of a Th0.usand Oaks. Today we learn that Tommy Gomon will be the ne:x;t Roy Rogers with his horse Peanuts (Vf e are not sure of its real name). This will surely put Peru State on the map as the home of one of the greatest cowboys of all time. Don't forget: His name is Tommy Gomon and his horse is called Peanuts

Minnie Squeals Eliza Morgian Hall Dear Mickey: Once again I'll strive to get a letter off to you and date you on the latest of happenings on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks. What are our latest gripes on om latest tropical heat wave? We Peruvians are determined to get our education regardless of heat or noise-sufferers though we· must be! Speaking of hot days reminds me of the mos:quito season. And do they have man-sized ones down here! Maybe that accounts for the fad that so many girls found themselves penniless afterr buying soda, ointments and alcohol to treat them, Evening pie/ nic::; don't help matters too muc!1, 'li'o th~y girls? ' Mickey, you should have been nere to attend one of our recent Budget Events whieh featured the Spanish dancer, Inestia. She must have ben a superb dancer, as all comm::nts about her were good ones. It has been said th3t she appea~ed in the recrnt movie "Strange Lady in Town " I suppose you're counting the days until you come home again. Of course we girls are, too. One girl has even made herself a calendar so she can mark it off, day by day. I'd say she's a little anxious, wouldn't you? · What brings about this melancholy? I hea11d some of it was caused by poor grades. That factor is a disillusioning one, we all must agree. Two Eliza Mo11gan residents h;;ld a conference with Miss Haugen one afternoon last week It ·wasn't anything very seriousjust prankiness on the part of three friends. The lights went out at th2 dorm the other night. Many had quite a time in getting back to their own rooms in pitch darkness. You would understand had you heard the screaming. and laughing, If you find a horse in the hath tub, just pul out the plug. The "Boomerang" is the name of the paper edited by the boys of Mount Vernon. No one seems to have difficulty in figuring out the "Whos" and "Whats" mentioned in it. Maybe it's because news spreads like wildfire over this campus. What would the helpless females everr do without the aid of the d.orm-resident, Gaylene Wilson? Yes, she'-s a former beautician, and a mighty good one, too. She's forever cutting or trimming someone's tresses. iSay, Mr. Levitt, our English instructor, sponsored a picnic for his English students at Neal Park on the evening of July 12. A good time: was reported by all. Well, Mickey, I must sign off and get busy on some of my studies. I must get in shape for ~ome of those finel tests that we're having next week. Drop me a line soon.

Sidney Rodeo to Furnish Variety Of Entertainment In just about three weeks frmn today !Sidney's Rodeo will be celebrating its birthday of 32 years. The Rodeo this year runs August 16th through the 20th. During the week ·Of August 1620 the people of Sidney will open their homes to the visitors so that everyone who comes to Sidney will have a pliace to bed! do:wn. !Many drive from the nearby towns surounding Sidney each day to see the show. All roads lead to Sidney, wiith diour paved highways leading into the city iirom all directions. Even now work is ~oing on at the big arena in preparation for the coming show. ~ainters are at work painting the huge girandstands and numbering the seats. Work on the rodeo never stops because as soon as one show is over the men in charge of the affaiT start planning for next year. The members of the committee in .charge must constantly seek for new ideas for their show and so they will journey all over the United States observing rodeos and attending various meetings of the Rodeo Cowboys Association 1and procuring .acts for the coming year. This is one show that starts promptly on time and it never misses. At l:l5 y-0u will hear a bomb. This signals that all contestants, clowns, band, and every one that is taking place in the Grand Entry should get into their respective places. They have fifteen minutes in which to do so. Promptly at one-thirty another bomb goes off. It is the signal for the Grand Entry into the arena. The huge gate swings open and in comes the Si~y Rodeo Band. ·That band is mrude ·up of the Sid.-
Queen Shirley Briley ney High School Band and alumni players. It is considered one of the best ~on-professional outfits in this part of the United States. This is -0ne or~zation that will bear watching as the iRodeo progresses on through each of its ten performances. The band will make its seventh appearance .at this year's Rodeo. Following the band are the colors of the United ·States and the American Legion flag. Next come all the contestants, clowns and other· important people who, help to make this Rodeo possible' and
to make it a success. They pass in review around the arena, then form a line across the center with the band at the head. With everyone standing at .attention, our National Anthem is played. Then everyone turns tl).eir attention to the bucking shoots where action will be starting as s,oon as the arena is cleared. Some of the special features /that will be seen at the rodeo are more than two hundred horses, a :fu.rge herd of dangerous Brahma bulls, comedy•. mules, and rodeo clown bull-fighters.
In the addedi attnactions you will see the Glen Randall Troup who have the best in trained !horses. Glen was responsible for training Trigger, Roy Roger's horse. Also .featured will be the Lane, Trio, Trampoline a la Western. You will see the best rodeo clowns in the business, Bobby and Gene Clark plus Wilbur Plaugher. Bobby and Gene are. brothers and, with Wilbur, will give you a thrill of a life time during the bull riding. Another great act will be Wnhur Plaugher whQ. will present his "LiverOcchi" act. This is considered! to be one of the funniest acts of all season tha.t you will be able to see anywhere. This year the American Legion is spending a total of $14,000.00 ror improvements at the Rodeo Park. Among facilities that you will find at the Rodeo this year will be plenty of free parking plus pienic .grounds if you wish to bring your lunch or supper. The men responsible Jlor making this show possible are: Robert Archie, chaiirman, who is the local Ford dealer, Royce Driskel, <assistant postmaster, Glen Hall, Superintendent of Streets and Water, Robert Greedy, local farmer, Don Myers, local contrr-actor, Ernest Mennman, looal farmer, and Ralph Travis, owner of the Chevrolet agency. These men plus the rest of the Legion members' are the leaders in putting on this great show; This year, as in most previous y:e~.rs, the members of the Legion iP'ost have set aside a special dlay for crippled children. This is something those kids have to look forward to each year. As heretofore, the committee has contracted for a big carnival that will be on the Midway during the entiTe time of the Rodeo. So if you don't attend that show you still may have fun by visiting the Midway. Remember the dates-August 16th through the 20th and attend the 32nd Annual Sidney R:odeo!
Shirley Briley Chosen Sidney Rodeo Queen ' As this reporter arrived at the: American Legion farm, July 14, Miss Shirley Briley was already surrounded by photographers, re-· porters and Legion committee members. Miss Briley was choseni over numerous other candidates for the position of Rodeo Queen. On June 27, Shirley was notified ry the committee that she was chosen as queen for the rodc·•o that will run from August 16 t<> 20. ·~•' Shirley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Briley who farm 326 acres of farmland north of Imogene, Towa. She is 18 years of age. Shirley graduated from Thurman High School, Thurman, Towa, in 1954. At pTesent Shirley is employed at the County Treasurer's office, Harlan, Im_va. On interviewing the Queen, we asked her how it felt to be chosen for an honor like this. She replied, "It's wonderful! I never believed that I could be chosen 1 11 Queen." Also helping the queen through her trying hours of posing for the photographers was her sister, Sandra, who is 12 and is in the eighth ,grade. Upon asking Sandra what her re~i;Jion was to having her sister fcfr qu\Sn, she replied, "I think it's womlerful! She has always wanted to be chosen." It was hard to tell which one it was hardest on posing for the pictures, ~·en or her horse, Trix. Tri . · as not at all interested in po ing for the pictures.
Rodeo Has Hospital One of the most unique things that you will find at the Sidney. Rodeo Arena is its hospital. This is the only rodeo that has a hospital. You will recognize -it as a small white •building with huge black leters depicting its title as such. (Coninued on page 5)

By Dave Longfellow What is better than one piano? Twin pianos. Stecher and Horowitz proved that Thursday night, July 21, as they rounded out th~ summer program of college budget events. Beforr.e a small crowd of 125 people they presented a progiram of classical, semi-classical and popular numbers which earned two encores. -The duo played Chopin and Bach and then showed their versatility by playing Gershwin and Friml. Their true mastery of the . twin piano combination is reflected in various comments by faculty and students alike. "Tremendous"' exclaimed Drr.

The comments of those who saw the show are unanimous m their praise of a prrogram that will be remembered with pleasure.
The hospital is the "baby" o! Dr. Ralph Lovelady of Sidney, Ia. This gentleman is easily rec .. 01gnized by the clothes that he wears during the show. You catt s.pot him by the hu:ge black hat he affects. To give a brief description of this hat so that yau will recognize it when you see it and kmw who is under it, we will herewith give a brief sketch of it. It is one of the largest black hats that you will undoubtedly ever see, and probably one of the oldest. It is said that it could be used for a watering tank in <Jase any >0f the regular ones give out. No offense intended, Doc. We're only fooling . There is an ambulance on instant call to take the patient to the Hambupg -Oimmunity Hospital if and when ne{!-essarry. Drivers of the ambulance are Ross Barbour, Bab Crawford and Tom Folkes of Sidney_ The contestants, if they are'nt too injured, would· rather walk out of the arena under their own power, but in ca;se they can't they are •only too happy to look up and see the smiling face of Doc. Lovelady. Doc Lovelady may not hiave world-wide renown, but in Sidney with his smile and always a .good word for evrybody, he is famous. So we gladly pay tribute to Doc 1Jovelf:1Y and his !Rodeo Hospital at Sidney\ MRS. EDDY RESIGNS Mrs Lillian J.
