The freshman class normally has from 56 to 60 outstaters but this year there are only 15 fl,'eshmen from beyond the borders of the state. A number of out-state upper. classmen transferred to other institutions either in their own states or in bordering states where tuition rates are considerably less than they are in Nebraska.

More students cancelled plans to attend Peru during the last ten days of August than at any similar time in recent years. The principal reason for cancellation was lack of adequate funds to meet the increased costs.

Phil's Place

By Phil L. Neuhalfen One scientist finally succeeded in .inventing a bomb so powerful it could destroy the world. He couldn't resist trying it out.

When the smoke had cleared away, the orily two things left alive on the face of the earth were two monkeys somewhere in Tibet. The male monkey leered at his companion, and asked, "Well, shall we start the whole thing over again?"

Most of us are starting over again-r e g i s t e r i n g, going to classes, studying?, and buying books. I've decided whE~n I make a living. I'm going into the book business. The way I see it, it's the only business where you can sell something a half dozen times and make a profit each ti~e­ :Well, I'll hear about that one.

I be 1 i e v e congratulations, thank yous, and what have you, are in order for Mom Balkema, Stancy Vance, or anyone else who had something to do with the changing of the voltage from 210 to 110 in Delzell Hall. I think' we upper classmen appreciate it quite a bit. As for the fre~hies, well; you'd better tip your beanies.

Seems I'm seeing more people at convo nowadays. It's amazing what n\,\mbers will do. Speaking of convos, the one Thursday morning with Russell Curry was enjoyed by all. It was talked

about quite a bit in Phil's place.

Let's have more like it.

To those who may not know it, winter is comi·Iig. To close this bit of, chatter I've decided to submit a bit of inspiration for what is to come.

You just lie there, have no place to go, Then you turn to H20.

P. S. This column, "Phil's Place" will be about anything from A to Z. If you have gripes or something you want to say about campus life or anything else, let me know and we'll bat it around. If you want to keep your name a secret just let me know or simpler still, just send it to Room 115 (Phil's Place) Delzell Hall. You need not sign your name. I may be asking for it, but this is open to teachers also.

See you next time-I hope.

Baseball Makes Peru Debut Inter-collegiate baseball will come to Peru State College with the 1957-58 school term, according to Director of Athletics Al Wheeler. The addition. of the new spring sport makes a total of four major sports at Nebraska's first college.

Earthmoving for ·the combination baseball diamond and practice football field was completed on the site of Vetville. The temporary Vetville area, in use since the close ilf World War II, was vacated with the completion of the Oak Hill housing for married students last fall. The new area will be seeded this fall.

Schedule for the initial baseball season has not yet been completed. During the past several years interest in baseball has grown at the 90-year-oid institution. Since it wiU be a new sport, with no returning letterpien, prospects for the season are a question mark.

"CHANGING TIMES" The Student Sen·ate has published a valuable handbook for new and old students. Fran Larson and Ray Ehlers did the editing and Leland Sherwood did the cover designs and cartoons.

The booklet is full of helpful information from the "Greetings" from President Gomon at the beginning to the "Color Song" at the end. The booklet is full of helpful advice on handling money, studying, activities, student government, and other things students need to know about, including sports schedules and the calendar of the year's events.

The handbook was printed by Don Carlile and his staff in Special Services.

TALK!

Thirty candidates for teaching positions have been placed in new locations by the Peru State Teachers College p ~ a c e m e n t bureau according to Lee Lowenberg, director of professional services. With the 101 announced earlier, the total number of placements is now 131.

While demand for elementary teachers continues strong in the state, pressure is building up for teachers in the upper grades and junior high, as enrollments increase in these areas. Greatest shortages on the secondary level, as indicated by current vacancy listings, appear to be in the fields of English, music and home economics. Special educational fields also offer many opportunities.

School officials from 53 Nebraska and out-of-state schools have interviewed students on the campus this year.

Those who have accepted positions, their home town or present teaching address, and their new location include.: William Witty, Shubert, to Rockport, Mo.; Dean D.

Priced Righf for the Siudenf

1,:sc6 Organization l:tl the Campus School '!/ By' Anna Mary Knosp (;;:lasses began Monday, Sept. 9, at ~t~~{T. J. Majors C amp us School. An 1innovation this year is the :integrated program for the seventh and. eighth grades with the high ~chool in what is called the, K-6~6 organization.. One teacber will teach these classes, basic courses of English, social studies, and science. Pupils will follow the high school pattern of going from room to room for the reitlainder of their subjects. This ch~nge is the result. of a recommeri4ll.tion by the state department of education.

Plan of ihe Future The six-year junior-senior high school will probably become the most common secondary school organization in Nebraska. This will likely be true in those communities. in which there are too few pupils to warrant the development of separate junior and senior hig)l schoo~s. A six-year hig)l school organization can provide the advantages of the junior high approach more effectively and economically in the smaller school systems than can the K-63-3 plan. A more complete utilization of school .plant facilities can be ·made. Teachers can be employed to teach in their major fields if they serve both junior arid senior levels, and the administrator has more flexibility in making teaching assignments.

Thus the program can be im-

proved at both tl).e 7-8 grade level and the 9-12 level..

There is an increasing need in Nebraska for more teachers ·whO have an understanding ,of, and a liking for, junior high age pupils, and: who have ability to work with them. These teachers, especially those who will be in charge of the multi-period plan, need to become competent in guidance _ and home-room leadership, and should have the e d u c a t i o n a 1 background necessary to teach in at least two subject fields. The K-6-6 organization adapts itself better than does the K-8-4 plan to the special school plant facilities and administrative procedures needed for meeting the educational needs of children of this age level.

Forty-one Students Gain Teaching Lore Among the Peru State students, three are doing their ,student teaching off.campus: Mr. Thomas Whitney is teaching all day for nine weeks at the high school in Table Rock. Mr. James Fitzpatrick is student teaching from one to four o'clock in the afternoon for eighteen weeks at the School for the Blind. at Nebraska City.

Mr. W. E. Tempelmeyer is teaching half days for eighteen weeks at ·Plattsmouth.

Campus School Commentary

Campus School Band Reorganized First rehearsals for the newly reorganized campus school band were held the first week of school under the direction of Mr. Gilbert Wilscin, new director of bands at Peru State. Mr. Wilson was formerly director of bands at Knox College, Galesburg, Ill. The membership of the band is limited to pupils from the seventh grade through high school. Besides the band, there . will be an intermediate band class for fifth and sixth graders and a beginning class for grades four, five and six.

Other pupils interested i n starting on an instrument should contact Mr. Wilson. Some school

By Mary Anna Gnade School may have started a week later than in previous years, but can't say it hasn't started with a bang (jet-type), to say nothing of the rain and mud the first couple of days. To make t,tp for a late' start or perhaps to get the work done while summer energy is still upon the kids, assigriments have been such that homework is a must.

Not only homework but everything else seems to be crowded into the first week and a half of school. Naturally each pupil went to school the first day with his lunch ticket money and activity ticket fee clutched in his hot little hand, but before the week was over the kids had their pictures · taken (for exchange, y'understand); they had audiometric t~sts; they hJld eye tests; they Were weighed and measured and found want-er, no. (But the parents were TOLD what was wanting!)

All this, I am convinced. is to confuse them so they don't mind having a new teacher though they are so used to last year's instructor, they call the new one by the old name. (Miss Wonderly is probably used to being called Miss Gard. and so on down?up the line.)

And the same old cry goes up especially from the high schoolers: We don't have a long enough lunch hour! Before this year the wellcworn footpath south was crowded with strolling noon-time couples. This year the thickness . of the rubber on the pavement accounts for the overgrown walk, since the new crop of driver's permits also brings out the rods, and drags are imperative.

At our house, the importance of being a freshman may have something to do with the stack of books brought home and the· number of encyclopedias and dictionaries pulled out for reference; it also accounts for the aroma of liniment, since Bob is also out for football with accompanying pulled ligaments, bruises, etcetera; it also seems to call for unlimit~d telephoning w h i c h starts with an inquiry for assignment information but usually develop into good ol' gossip.

Have you heard the (age-old) reason for taking a subject you don't particularly like instead of one you would? Surely the most logical thing in the world-new boy in school! (He's smart, cute, and can do anything!)

Holy Attends Omaha Meet Dr. Russell A. Holy, Director of the Campus Schc>ol, and Mrs. Darryl Manring, secretary of the Campus School, attended a meeting on the State School Lunch and Milk program Monday afternoon, Sept. 16, in Omaha. This meeting was directed by Mr. Allen A. Elliott, Lincoln, Nebraska.

Campus School PT AOrganized Student teacher Phil Rihner this ~emester is required to attend PTA meetings which for two years he has attended· as a parent. Of approximately 150 present at PTA Tuesday evening, September 17, 41 were student teachers.

The objects of the organization are couched in rather grandiose terms, but someone translated them: into the purposes of PTA which are more readily understandable: "To find facts, not to find faults.

To raise standards of the home, not to criticize it.

To raies children better, not to raise them up more easily.

To secure good schools, not to ignore poor ones.

To cooperate with schools, not to operate them.

To give every child a c h a n c e, not to make each a prodigy.

To make lives, not to m a k e money."

At the meeting Tuesday evening, Mrs. Lester Blankenship was elected treasurer to replace Mrs. Robert Grindle. Other officers are Mrs. John Lewis, president; W. E. Morrissy, vice president; Mrs. Neal Gomon, secretary.

Campus GooI Grad Makes Hig~ Score High score on the Purdue test in English for freshmen was made by Martha Sue Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Moore and graduate of the Campus School.

Martha Sue is the third consecutive high .scorer to come from the Campus School. High scorer last year was Bill Larson, and the year before that it was Rex Filmer.

Freshmen Week was climaxed Thursday night at 8:00 in the au· ditorium with the annual Kangaroo Court. The freshmen have now been initiated into . college life in typical style.

As the freshmen sat soberfaced· in the center of the auditorium, Kenneth Sands presided as judge. The court jesters, Frank Pedersen and Jim Bvatman, assisted the judge in bringing the ace.Used freshmen before the stan,d. The prosecuting attorney, Bob Bohlken, won most of the cases from Dave Clites, defense attorney.

The jury consisted of upper classmen who rendered their verdicts with sincere honesty.

The jury members were: Joan White, Tom East mean, Joan French, Donna Schuster, Alice Phillips, Bob Henry, Jon Appleget, Jerry Grancer, Jerry Koenig, Don Roddy, Sharon Grieninger, and Martha Cox. To set the 1957-1958 college term off with a clean start, pen· alty day was set up. During this day, Friday, September 27, the freshmen were dismissed from all classes to give the campus a general clean-up.

Phil's Place

By Phil L. Neuhalfen Hanford Miller, General Chairman of the Freshmen Orientation Program, writes that in the last Pedagogian proper recognition should have been given to Mr. James Levitt for the work he does before and during the talent shows which are held each year. I must agree with Mr. Miller that more credit should be due to the man who rounded up the talent, organized the sequence, and rehearsed, all in the space of three short days. So, from Phil's Place, it's congratulations (late as it may be) to you, Mr .. J. D. Levitt for· another talent show.

Every Wednesday there will be a shortened sched.ule to allow for convocation.

Keep this schedule to avoid fouling up on your Wednesday class attendance.

Kearney Downs Peru 26-14

By Robert Henry A truly magnificent Kearney State football machine blasted for 13 points ~n each of the second and third quarters and then fought off a late Peru State rally to administer a stinging 26 to 14 defeat to the Peru Bobcats.

By defeating a highly regarded Peru team, who last week downed the strong Central Missouri team 13 to 7, the Antelopes gave concrete proof to the rest of the N.C.C. teams that they are the team to beat for the conference crown.

In winning their thirteenth straight victory, Kearney had to fight off a spirited and determined Peru eleven. The first quarter was a virtual standoff with the defensive play of both teams sparkling.

Kearney Pqwer The second quarter was about half completed before the Kearney team began to demonstrate its power and superiority. An interception, by Antelope back Gene Lawhead, of a Peru pass set the stage for the first Kearney touchdown. Kearney took over on the Peru 47-yard line and marched those 47 yards in eight plays with a 14-yard pass from Lawhead to Gary Johnson capping the scoring drive with four minutes remaining in the second quarter. The conversion was not good.

Following the touchdown an exchange of punts took place with Peru gaining possession on the Bobcat 22-yard marker. In four plays the impregnable Kearney defense hurled Peru back to her own one-yard line where a Peru fumble was recovered by an alert Antelope defender. On the next play Kearney was short of a TD by inches, but after the Antelopes called time to stop the clock fullback Jacobsen plunged into pay dirt. The placement by ·Boroff made the halftime score read Kearney 13, Peru 0.

Midway in the third quarter Kearney again capitalized on a break. Kearney left end Sprague plucked a wobbly Peru pass out of the air and streaked 30 yards to the Peru 10-yard line. On the next play a desperate Peru defense pushed the Antel()pes back to the 11-yard line where on the next play Kearney field general Smith fired a strike to Boroff for

By Bob Henry

the TD with eight minutes remaining in the third quarter. The conversion went awry and Kearney led 19 to 0.

Following the kick-off Peru fumbled on the first play from scrimmage and Kearney recovered on the Bobcat's 35-yard line.

Four plays later halfback Boroff churned in from the 15-yard line for the last Kearney touchdown.

Sprague converted and Kearney had a commanding 26 to 0 lead.

Bobcats Revive Following an exchange of punts the sleeping Bobcat finally came to life. Gibson returned a Kearney punt 15 yards to the Antelope 32-yard line. Backs Don Roddy and Bud Bookwalter carried to the Kearney 28, and Gary Adams from the halfback slot rip'ped to the 18. Bookwalter swept right end to the Kearney 6.

On the next play Bookwalter sliced off tackle for the touchdown. Little Gary Adams booted the conversion.

The final P e r u touchdown came on an 80-yard sustained drive. Pass plays from Gibson to Henry Hart and Hart to Gibson netted 20 yards to the Peru 40.

Quarterback Sid Brown hit Hart with a pass at midfield. From there Don Roddy hurtled 32 yards to the Kearney 18-yard stripe.

Two plays later Brown .rifled a scoring pass to all-conference end Jerry Grancer. Adams again split the uprights to end the night's scoring with Kearney winning a well-earned victory 26 to 14.

After next Saturday's migration to Chadron for· an afternoon game with the Eagles, the Bobcats will be back in the Oak Bowl October 12 for the 2:00p.m.

Chuck Tillman in Class coach, Chuck, who has shown a lot of action in Peru State athletics, is a 1952 graduate of North Platte high school. His sports record at North Platte includes three years of football, four years of basketball and four years of track under head coach Rosco Tolly, a . Peru graduate.

Doing double school duty and traveling a three-way circuit every day is Charles "Chuck" Tillman, a junior at Nebraska State Teachers College at P~.

Living at Auburn, he travels to Peru every morning to attend classes. In the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. he is assistant coach at Nemaha high school under the direction of John Mettlen, superintendent and head

After high school graduation Chuck served three years in the Navy. His greatest influence to attend Peru State came from his brother, Jack Tillman, a 1951 graduate of the college. Jack has coached at Smith Cente!L~ Kansas high school until 1957. He is now football and track coach at Belleville, Kansas.

Chuck is carrying a double major at Peru State: physical education and English. He has lettered for two years in track for high jump and has also served both years on the basketball squad.

Chuck recently married another Peru student, Monica Zach of Percival, Iowa.

When Wayne State takes the field against Peru in the 1957 edition of the Homecoming festivities, it will be a renewal of a Homecoming rivalry that has been filled with more Peru losses than victories.

Let's take a look at the past Homecoming battles, s t art in g' with the 1937 season, which was the year Al Wheeler took over the Bobcat helm. W h e e 1er coached teams have met the Wildcats seven times in Homecoming battles. Four times Peru has been the guest team at Wayne for their Homecoming festivities, and three times in this 20 year span Wayne has played at a Homecoming game in the Oak Bowl. The record for these games shows Wayne dominating the win and loss statistics. The Wildcats own three victories against a lone Peru win. Three games have ended in deadlocks.

Peru's lone victory came in 1951 on the local field. Thus a look at the past Homecoming games between the two schools shows that Wayne is particularly tough when they meet the Bobcats on Homecoming day.

Wayne has twelve lettermen on the 1957 squad with a letterman at every position except at the fullback slot. It would seem the Wildcat starting lineup will not be lacking in experience.

Peru has 13 returning lettermen who will bear the brunt of the attack. These lettermen will be greatly aided by a crew of eager young hopefuls that make up for their lack of experience with hustle and desire.

All in all the forthcoming Homecoming tilt shapes up to be a real "ding-dong" battle. The choice here is Peru.

Queen Candidates Chosen at Convo Six candidates for Homecom~ ing queen at Peru State Teachers College were elected October 2 by vote of the student body. Two seniors and four sophomores received top votes for the honor of reigning over the October 12 festivities.

The candidates selected were seniors• Rose Edelman, Salem; Fran Larson, Peru; and sophomores Judi Cole, Nebraska City; Sharon Grieninger, Ash 1 and; Ruth Linscheid, Peru, and Sara Sue Starns. Ashland.

The field will be narrowed to the three finals at a later election, with the identity of the 1957 Homecoming Queen withheld until halftime of the Peru State-Wayne football game October 12 at 2:00 p.m. ·

5,700 Peru Staters Mailed Approximately 5,700 copies of the Peru Stater were mailed last week from the Department of Special Services. The Peru Stater is the publication of the Perm Alumni Association, published three times a year, under the direction of Don Car.lile.

This Homecoming"'Stater, containing 20 pages of alumni news, was published not only by the efforts of the staff but of many students, too. Extra students were hired for week-end duty, assembling and stapling the· thousands of Staters. Others were needed for addressing and packing. Through cooperation of the students, the alumni bulletin should reach former Peru Staters long before Homecoming.

OCTOBER 21, 1957

Alpha Mu Omega Adds Ten Members President troubles? As i a invaded our ranks and our initiation meeting was conducted without president or vice president.

The only officer left, Claudette Stumbo, presided.

Ten new members joined the ranks for a total of twenty-six.

The following took the pledge on October 14: Brendon Mallem, Dale and Dick Brown, Lee Rottman, Warren Dyke, Louraine Haack, Lois Rowe, Terry Forney, Jerry Beckman. Paul McDonald will be pledged later.

The annual award for the outstanding freshmen in mathem~t­ ics was given to Lois Rowe. The pin presentation was made by Mrs. Cook, sponsor. She is the second girl in twelve years who has earned this distinction.

Library Repairs Are Made The library is undergoing a face-lifting as the result of the summer monsoons. Last week the college carpenter, Ernie Longfellow, and his colleague, Harold Patterson, replaced! the plaster that had been damaged in summer session cloudburst.

The walls received a soaking as the storm drains failed to take the run-off from the roof and backed the water into the sewer lines. The overflow came out on the third floor and resulted in falling plaster.

The library is also sporting the 1957 fashions in bulletin boards.

Designed by Max Langham, the illuminated beauties hang on either side of the entrance, furnishing weather-proof space for announcements, bulletins, etc.

All organizations are invited to use the boards.

Mr. Langham did the metalwork on the construction, while Jim Boatman and Dave Longfellow put the pieces together.

Maintenance man Joe Standley wired the boards for lights.

This notice is probably excess, but you will get out of school Thursday, Oct. 24, and Friday, Oct. 2~, as NSEA meetings are being held in Lincoln and Omaha.

"Ring Around Elizabeth" Well Received Play

The Frosh put the finishing touches on their award-winning display despite a dismal downpour.

They were the only class to place their display outside as events conspired to prevent any other course of action.

Special Pep Convo A special pep rally convocation, sponsored by the Student Senate, was held Friday, Oct. 11, at one o'clock.

A skit was presented by four members of the Blue Devils. It featured Bob Henry as Bill Stemless, Bill Miller as Tommy Touchdown, Gilbert Gray as Coach Wheeler, and Bob Bohlken as a member of the Wayne. team.

Mr. Christ, Miss Rowoldt, Miss Weare, and Mr. Stemper aided the cheerleaders by leading some yells.

Mr. Moore gave a short talk on the meaning of homecoming.

Coach Al Wheeler and Ray Ehlers gave short pep talks.

The rally was concluded, with more yells and the color song.

Change of Night Class Schedule Classes scheduled for Wednesday evening, October 23 will be moved up to Tuesday, October 22 so there be no conflict with NSEA convention plans for students or instructors.

All day classes on October 23 are to be held as usual. College cafeteria will close after noon meal on October 23 until breakfast time Monday, October 28.

Snack bar will close at 4:30 p.m.

Peru State Helps Art Festiva I In Brownville

By Eva Holy Sleepy little Brownville came awake to the tramp of thousands of feet, Sunday, October 6th. The large crowd was proof of the interest of the communities represented in the many displays of arts and crafts and hobbies.

The Industrial Arts Club had a display of plastics made from both sheet plastic and moldings from liquid plastic, also hand carved leather articles and an art metal exhibit of copper pictures made by the copper' tooling process, etched aluminum trays and copper enameled jewelry.

Five people participated in the demonstration: Robert Auffert, leather tooling; Ronald Wagner and JoAnn Parriott, copper too1ing; Johnielee Henning and Jerry Beckman, copper enameling.

All are members of the current arts and crafts class.

The home economics department had a display of hand woven articles and a loom demonstrated by Mrs. Holy and Mrs. Balkema.

Mrs. Schottenhamel of the English department had a living still life picture arranged according to the elements and principles of art.

The Art Club had articles made from twenty different kinds of native clay. Seven of these clays were from around Peru. All of the articles. were formed and decorated by art students. Some of the tiles were fired in a bonfire and the rest of the articles were fired in a kiln.

Six roving artists from Peru State sketched the historical buildings in Brownville. One of the sketches was used by the Auburn newspaper and another one was used by the newspaper in Beatrice. The artists, P. Vollertsen, R. Russell, A. Ehlers, M. Kostal, R. Linscheid and C. Boline, had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Terence Duren, noted Shelby, Nebraska artist. A number of lithographs and drawings by students and Miss Diddel were sold.

Copy that gets left out of the paper is late copy. All reporters for classes and organizations can do a better job by getting their copy in early.

Not Asiatic Flu-They' re Just Sick According to Dr. John Thompson, college physician, the Asiatic flu bug has not visited the campus. There are, however, large number of students in bed with cases of flu ranging from mild to severe.

By Wednesday, October 16. 32 people had been sent home to rest and recover, and nearly 115 were down with milder cases of flu and colds. Peggy Boatman, college nurse, stated that she had seen 98 students on Monday, October 14, and 58 on Tuesday, October 15.

Last ,n ek fifty doses of Asia tic flu serum arrived that had been on order since August.

These were immediately given on a first-come-first-served basis. The people in the cafeteria and Bob-Inn were notified, and all except two received vaccinations.

The Student Christian Fellowship announces that the meeting place for the duration of the school year be the second floor of Music Hall.

This room is needed to house one of the largest and most active student organiza.tions.

By Dave Longfellow Rain failed to spoil a fine Homecoming' play, nor did it shorten the performance. "Ring Around Elizabeth," featuring a good plot presented by a seasoned cast, was well-received by the audience.

The story concerned a mother, beset by the eccentricities of her family and in-laws, who escapes to the past in a convenient attack of amnesia. In her "girlhood" she is able to tell people what she thinks of them-and she does with a great vengeance.

Her "crafty ego" also finds time to straighten out the romantic life of her oldest daughter, and the scientific ambitions of her youngtst. jler father-in-law has to turn off .. the fire alarm which sounds periodically, and her mother decides to take her "green tonic" and go home.

Lois B~rned out her usual fine ormance in the lead roie of Elizabeth Cherry, while Dick Corwine caps a fine dramatic career with the standout performance of the play as her husband, Ralph Cherry.

Bob Bohlken and Franci Stillwell show great promise of developing into the most delightful and hilarious elderly couple of the century as they played the in-laws with an exuberance unmatched in recent years.

Gerry Foged portrayed a sharp-tongued busy-body with great zest and must receive a blossom or two for her performance. Donna Gaer may resign five times as Vida, the cook, but never as an actress.

Freshmen Carolyn Wing, Judy Neuvirth, and Sue Moore show great promise of developing into "stars" in their first roles on the Peru college stage.

Battling a severe cold, Tom Higgins gave a good performance as Andy, the cynical playboy who all but wrecks the household in his quest for Elizabeth's inheritance.

Bobcats Down Eagles 32-13

By Bob Henry Before a large Chadron Homecoming crowd the visiting Peru Bobcats unleashed an awesome offensive attack to bury Chadron State Eagles 32 to 13. Led by the passing of Sid Brown, the pass-catching of Jerry Grancer, .and the running of Bryant, Gibson, and Bookwalter, the Bobcats evened their Conference record at one win and one loss.

First Tally With twelve minutes remaining in the first half Jerry Grancer blocked an Eagle field goal attempt on the Peru 20-yard line.

Peru tackle Ray Ehlers scooped the ball up and rambled to the Chadron 42-yard line. Doug Gibson skirted end for thirteen yards.

In three successive c arr i e s Bookwalter lugged the leather to the Eagle 10-yard stripe. On an off tackle slant, Bryant plunged to the four. Brown hit to the two and Doug Gibson skirted left end and dove into pay dirt for the initial score of game. Bob Bryant toed the ball through the uprights and Peru lead 7 to 0.

Second TD Almost before the ink was dry in the score book Peru added another score. Peru center Jerry Ludwig recovered an Eagle fumble on the Chadron 45-yard line.

Sid Brown rifled a 20-yard pass to freshman end Jerry Henning.

On the next play big Bob Bryant blasted through the Chadron line and moved 25 yards for the second Peru touchdown. The attempt for the extra point was not good. That was the end of the first half's. scoring. Peru lead at halftime 13 to 0.

93 Yard Drive . With eleven minutes remaining m the third quarter, Chadron halfback Boness unloaded a 70yard punt that was fumbled by Peru and recovered by an alert Eagle on the Bobcat 9-yard line.

Peru, not to be denied held Chadron, taking possession of the ball on downs on the 7-yard line.

From the 7-yard line the Bobcats moved by hard running and needle-sharp passing 93 yards for a touchdown. Jerry Grancer hauled in a 29-yard pass from Sid Brown for the touchdown. Once again the extra point was not good and Peru lead 19 to O. TD Number 4 The fourth Peru TD came late in the fourth qu!U'ter. Peru had gained possession,,.of the ball on the Peru 40 as a result of a Chadron punt.. Four plays later Sid Brown hurled a 35-yard pass to Jerry Grancer who streaked in for the G!ounter. The conversion attempt was wild and Peru lead the ©utcl!assed Eagles 25 to o.

Chadron Scores On the following kickoff Chadron fullback Colerick gave the Chadron fans their first real chance to cheer. Colerick took the kickoff onJtis own 20-yard line and swivel hipri\d his way along the side lines for a spectacular touchdown.

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade Noon time epithet among 4th graders: You're a chicken-a square chicken!· · College-type greeting to 3rd graders: Hiyah, men!

Baton Twirlers . People are awfully modest about what they do! Five campus schoolers have returned from a b.aton clinic at Syracuse, and not just this year but in previous years, too. We've had a good crew between halves at football games, but I didn't know they performed away from Peru!

A Tea .7th and 8th grade girls had a soiree for their mothers and friends as part of home economics on October 3rd. These are always pleasant.

Why, Dean!

And you can't possibly say you haven't heard of Fire Prevention Week! Drill one day inspired 2nd grade to make firemen's hats.

Next day there was a full show: smoke from waste in playground, four \;>lasts on the town siren meaning "fire in south part. of town," firemen and engine, hoses

strung. around, and firemenpreacher-student Williams getting a movie of whole procedure.

(Not quite whole, since inside the building Dean Melvin slung Mrs. Manring over his shoulder in a . heroic "rescue" which stopped just short of the outside door.)

The expressions of pleased excitement on the kids' faces as they bounded aw.ay from the school recalled days when-remember hoping for a fire drill when it was getting near your turn to recite in a class.

Haircut 12th grader Les Tripp (college mailman, too) took the big step and got a Yul Brynner haircut.

Flattops, fuzz and crew cuts, and such are common; now its an "Elvis Presley" (ugh) or a "Hollywood" (goes with bare chest and stomach) both of which are rare, thank hevvin (or unyfelding parents?)

Homecoming While college Homecoming was sloppy sloppy, high school wasn't so bad with Queen Joan Bohlken working out as cheerleader. (And 7th grader Steve went to the dance in spite of older brother and sister!)

Fran Answers Student teacher Fran Larson

answered the PTA question Tuesday night, October 15, as to why student teachers are required to attend PTA: "As a part of their learning experience in preparing to teach, students get to meet parents and learn something of PTA practices." ~arch of Pennies It has seemed unfair to PTA members that college students be required to attend and take part in the penny march, but couldn't vote for the room to receive the proceeds. After eliminating the previous methods for awarding the money, as a joke Mr. Sheely proposed having a jar for each room and letting marchers donate their pennies to the room they wished. In great glee this was accepted and before the" evening was over everyone agreed this was more fun, would bring out more people since every room would now work to have more come and vote with pennies for them. / Steady Dating .Mr. Van Pelt conducted a study among high schoolers to see whether they favored going steady and found that of 73 students, 51 are not and 22 are going steady; seven of the steadies would enjoy dating others and nineteen would be unhappy if everyone decided against the practice. Fourteen per cent of the total thought the school should prohibit going steady. Comment by one high schooler: "Going steady today doesn't mean a first step to engagement or that you are serious. It simply means you have a date to all activities with one whom you find very enjoyable. If you get tired of this company, you simply break it off."

Campus school administration didn't feel it was up to them to prohibit.

Uniformed Band Band director Wilson stated it was necessary first to have a band with spirit before uniforms.

As a judge he has heard some mighty pretty bands sound terrible. With the help of parents in raising $300 more than is already in hand, a thirty:five piece uniformed band is a good possibility.

BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY Mr. McMullen's English 12 class is reading and reporting on biography after a study of the role of values in success. In the book talk, emphasis is given to the ideas that can apply to one's own life.

Band Entertains At Mfdland Game

By Lois Rowe The Peru College Band gave its first marching exhibition away from home. It marched at the half time of the Peru-Midland game at Fremont on November 2.

The band did the routine that it had· planned to do for the Homecoming game. After being rained out at Homecoming, the band planned to use the routine at Wesleyan, October 18. But the flu ltug bit tob many of the band members, so the trip fo Wesleyan was cancelled and the routine was saved for the Midland game.

The band marched onto the field in two ranks and played a fanfare. It marched down the field and did a precision number, "Hesitation Strut." It then did some flank movements and turned to face the grandstand. In this position it played "I Want A Girl" and "All Shook Up." The band concluded its performance by playing the "Color Song."

The final marching appearance of the band will be between halves of the Peru-Doane game on November 8.

By Hal Norris

cuts in a three hour course and two cuts in a two hour course has been open to criticism. . · .· Compulsory attendance is not necessarily in the best in. terest of an adult education. The modern educational philosophy is to enable the individual ~tudent to take his place in society as an adult. Do we contend compulsory attendam~e will make him a better adult? · Oxford university and the University of Nebraska do not have compulsory attendance regulations. Do we need compulsory attendance at Peru State College?

Actually, it matters not whether a compulsory or noncompulsory attendance regulation be adopted. If a high scholastic standard be maintained, a student must spend some hours in study to make these creditable grades. Perhaps it is not important whether his learning comes from within or . from outside the classroom; but the important thing is that the student must study if he is to remain in an academically strong college.

If the Peru attendance requirement were abolished, there would be little change in rating of individual students, but the Peru students would regain some lost freedom.

Danforth Foundation Invites Applicants

forth Appointment, together with a Rhodes Scholarship, Fulbright Scholarship, or Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he becomes a Danforth Fellow without stipend, until these other relationships are completed.

All Danforth Fellows will participate in the annual Danforth Foundation Conference on Teaching, to be held at Camp Miniwanca in Michigan next September.

The qualifications of the candi.dates as listed in the announcement from the Foundation are: men , of outstanding academic ability, personality congenial to the classroom, and integrity and character, including serious inquiry within the Christian tradition.

All applications, ·including the recommendations, must be completed by January 31, 1958. Any student wishing further information should get in touch with our Liaison Officer.

The Danforth Foundation, an educational foundation located in St. Louis, Missouri, invites applications for the seventh class (1958) of Danforth Graduate Fellows from college senior men and recent graduates who are preparing themselves for a career of college teaching, and are plan. ning to enter graduate school in September, 1958, for their first year of graduate study. The Fouii:dation welcomes applicants .. from the areas of Natural and Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Humanities and all fields of specializatiqn to be found in the undergraduate college.

Mid trials and tribulations and all sorts of annoying disturbances Shrub is actually going to meet a deadline! After this there will be only one more deadline to meet before Shrub takes the fatal plunge and leaves ''The Morgue" forever (she hopes!).

Readers of this column will be glad to know that Shrub's successor will be Denpa Gaer (who never misses a deadline!) writing something called "Gaer's Gab" or some such rot. So don't worry about losing out on · all the chummy girls' dorm gossip; the column will still be here, even if Shrub won't. ' Shrub must admit that it will be kinda hard to leave the dorm after having lived under its sheltering arms for so long! She'll miss the memories-of raging flu epidemics that turn the dorm into · an: ·infirmary, a . veritable hotbed of disease. (Actually, it wasn't that bad, but flu did seem to have most of the residents down at once. There were more trays of food brought to the dorm for the sick ones than there were meals, eaten in the cafeteria, it seemed.)

And she'll miss the memories of days long ago when water fights were legal (if you didn't get caught), and the wee-hours pinochle parties. (There hasn't been a decent hand of pinochle in the dorm since school started this year. Shocking.) And there are always the memories of the "showers" for engaged girls ...

Which reminds me-Following the teachers' convention weekend, two girls came back to the porm sporting diamonds. Yvonna 1Burt is engaged to Dick Ruff of Fremont; Sandy Short got a diamond from Vernon Ellis, Jr. of Lincoln.

And Merrily Dahmke is a married woman now! Hold on there, Merrily, Shrub's not far behind you!

And with these p 1 e as ant thoughts,. Shrub will slowly drift out of this column. See you next I:'ed.

Phil's Place

By Phil L. Neuhalfen All this talk in the papers about missiles, rockets, and bombs reminds me of the time my brother and I decided to build the largest, most destructive fire cracker in our neighborhood. The reason for doing this was because we were bored with the afternoon and decided to do something constructive. The first thing needed was the materials for construction. We decided Upon old fire crackers, newspapers, fuses from the fire crackers, and a roll of scotch tape. Scotch 'tape was chosen because, as you know, scotch tape can be used for any occasion-m e n d in g clothes, picture frames, collecting lint, etc.

Since our first problem of materials was solved, our next panic was where to start construction. This was easily solved by choosing the basement because it was cold outside. We told mother that we were doing something constructive and ambled on down the stairs to the basement. We proceeded to a table where we cut open the old fire crackers and deposited the powder on the newspaper. It's amazing how much powder can be taken from three packages of fire crackers.

We wrapped the whole lump in the newspaper leaving a hole for the fuse to be inserted. We covered the newspaper with scotch tape so that it would stay

together. The next step was the fuse. My brother had the pride and joy of construction. He made a five foot fuse by scotch taping the old fire cracker fuses together. After doing this, we inserted it into the one foot newspaper bomb. There it was-finished, with the comics on the outside.

We went mad with excitement and curiosity. Not thinking about being in the basement, I lit the fuse. Sputters and sssing noises sounded. Then the bomb went off. We must not have packed the bomb enough because it didn't explode, but the most nauseating black smoke filled the basement.

Literally, everything went up in smoke. Mom, not knowing what was going on, called the fire department and this caused complications and uneasiness.

This· incident left my brother and me with one thought-leave the bomb constructing to the men who know what they are doing? Let them put the world in smoke. I wonder what fire department they'll call.

Special departments visited included draperies, carpets, living room and bedroom furnishings, china, silver, crystal, and various room accessories were also examined.

The class toured the Better Homes and Gardens Idea Home located at 702 South 114 Street in Omaha. New trends in home planning and furnishings were observed.

!Plainsmen Whipped:34.Q By .Peru State Bobcats

By Bob Henry

and Peru had a 20 to 0 halftime

Peru State's Bobcats, scoring in lead. ievery quarter, completely routed '.the Nebraska Wesleyan Plains'men 34 to 0 in an N. C. C. game played on the Wesleyan turf. It was a game marked with just too :_much Peru offensive and defensive power for the outclassed 1-Plainsmen.

Line Holds The game opened with Peru's taking the opening kickoff and marching to the Wesleyan 18yard stripe, where on a fourth .. down situation Peru halfback Gary Adams missed a field goal .- attempt. Wesleyan, unable to run · against the tough Bobcat line, took to the air on their third play from scrimmage. Halfback Buddy Bookwalter intercepted and _ ' ran the ball back to the Plains1 men 17-yard line.

86-Yard Drive - After .receiving the kickoff, Wesleyan pushed to the Peru 40 ; ; before being forced to punt. With .. the first quarter nearing its end, the Bobcats launched an 86-yard ._ sustained drive "that was cli1 maxed by big Bob Bryant's 14yard scoring explosion _through · the center of the Wesleyan de; fense. The conversion failed.

Near the end of the second quarter, Wesleyan made its deepest penetration into Peru territory before being stopped on the Bobcat 23-yard marker.

Gibson Sprints For TD Peru's fourth touchdown came early in the third quarter when halfback Doug Gibson pilfered a Wesleyan pass on the Peru 25yard line and raced 75 yards behind crisp blocking for the touchdown. Gary Adams split the uprights f9r the Bobcat's 27th point.

Grancer Scores Peru struck through the air for the last touchdown. With the Bobcats in possession, of the ball on the Wesleyan 40, quarterback Sid Brown rifled a pass to Jerry Grancer on the 20-yard line and Grancer outdistanced the Plainsmen secondary for the touchdown.

Hastings Game Postponed Because of Flu The Hastings game, originally scheduled for Friday, Oct. 25, has been postponed until a mutual date can be agreed upon between Peru and Hastings-.

This Hastings contest will probably loom .as the deciding factor in the NCCA conference.

The conference crown can become a three-way tie between the Goliaths of the conference, Peru, Hastings, and Kearney.

But if Kearney must forfeit· the Peru game, the Hastings· tussle will decide conference championship. That is if both Peru and Hastings keep their conference slate clean. So, this HastingsPeru encounter will be an important contest.

Volley Ball Team Being Formed Initial steps in forming a volley ball team are taking shape at the Campus School under the direction of Miss Rose Edelman: Twenty-six girls are out for practice. They practice two afternoons a week. Plans are being made for scheduling a few games with other schools. The girls and their director will appreciate the support of the Campus· School and its patrons in this venture.

Thirty-one in P£;tuis Marching Band Peru's fine marching band has missed: two - performances because of bad weather, flu, and a game cancellation.

The personnel of this year's marching band is as follows. Drum major for the marching Peruvians is· sophomore Richard Sietsema of Tabor, Iowa. Majorettes are freshmen B et t y Bebb, Nemaha, and Pat Earl, Syracuse.

You Should Visit Campus Observatory

One can readily see why it would attract such men as Edison Pettit, who has made a name for himself in astronomy. When he decided to become an astronomer at Peru everybody laughed. He was young, popular, and unusually fond of good times. He was going to college just to be going and because they had some good looking coeds. He didn't know a star from a )tltan~t, but he found astronomy so intE?.ested him that he buckled down to studying and even went so far as to retake the courses in higher mathematics.

He wen~ gain fame: He helped de.p many instruments as well as helping to improve such instruments as the quartzP o 1a r o id monochrometer. He helped activate the Palmomar Observatory.

Pettit and other astronomers are excellent testimony to the high quality of instruction by the science department of the Peru State Teachers College.

Professor Mathews c an not guarantee a good look at the Commie's Sputnik, but he'll be happy to take you through the observatory and let you look through the telescope.

By Virgil Kesling The science department invites students to see the other worlds.

Classes in astronomy, which ar:e offered every other year at the beginning of the second semester, will be conducted by Professor L. B. Mathews.

Judy Adams Makes All State Band

By Mary Anna Gnade Even the kids are doing itkeeping a box score on "how many are out of your room today." The ones who haven't had it or aren't coming down with it (meaning flu, what else) are freaks of a sort.

DR. HAROLD HUTCHESON Head of Depar:tmeni of Education The new head of the division of education, Dr. Hutcheso,n has served as graduate assistant at the University of Nebraska for the past two years. Previous to that he was the superintendent of · schools at Atkinson, Nebraska. . He took his A. B. at Wayne . State Teachers College, and received .his M. A. and Ed. degree from the University. Dr. Hutcheson joined the Peru staff on July 1, 1957 and immediately assumed his duties as head of the division. Acting head, Dr. Russell Holy, was then freed to take complete charge of the campus school and student teaching pro• gram.

TEACHERS ATTEND NSEA MEETING Among the Campus School teachers. who attended the District. II meeting of the N~braska State Education Association in Omaha, Oct. 24 and 25, were Mrs. Maryon Adams, Mrs. Geraldine Straw, ·Mrs. Lillian Christ, Mr. Frank Masek, Dr. and Mvs. Russell A. Holy.

Those who attended the NSEA District I meeting in Lincoln were.: Miss Mary Clarke, Mrs. Dorothy Iversen, Mrs. Evalyn Shrader, Mr. Glen Sheely, Mr. Richard Van Pelt and Mr. Virgil DeZwarte. Others were prevented by flu from attending.

What with NSEA District conventions and flu bug and relatives rampant, school activity has been cut down from a run to a crawl. However, Halloween week-end is picking it up into a vigorous crawl. In the elementary rooms trick or treat is or primary iJriportance with accompanying manufacture of masks.

Several 7th graders put off other meetings because they have a party Halloween night. In high school about an Halloween means is midnight show some place. All that excess energy ought to. be channeled into s 0 met hi ngUN]CEF perhaps?

Practical Arts Building Waits on Survey Survey May Be Completed In Spring of 1960 Preliminary plans and sketches for a new practical arts building at Peru State College have been pigeon-holed indefinitely, pending a decision by the Board of Education of State N o r m a 1 Schools on a suggestion by Governor. Anderson that all planned construction at the four teachers colleges be delayed until an all" inclusive study of higher education in the state is completed.

The building committee of the Normal Board met with the governor recently to present preliminary plans and' sketches of the proposed $400,000 practical arts building. State law requires the governor's approval of all expenditures frm the special institutional building fund.

Present at the. meeting were: Bruce Hagemeister .of Heming-

ford, president of the Board; Bernard M. Spencer of Nebraska City, and A. D. Majors of Omaha, members of the Board's building committee; E. Albin Larson, secretary of ·the Board; Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president of Peru State College, and John Latenser, architect.

Decision on the conduct of a state-wide survey of higher education rests with the Board of Education of State 1 N or ma 1 Schools, tte Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, and the Legislature. Neither of the two educfutional goverrting bodies have officially discussed such a survey although informal talks among representatives of both boards indicate that each will review the matter at the next regular meetings of the groups.

Bobcats Triumph Over Midland Warriors

By Bob Henry On a field swept by icy northern winds, the Peru State Bobcats struck for four first-half touchdowns and went on to record a 33 to 6 victory over Midland Warriors in an N.C.C. game played at Fremont S at u r d a y night, Nov. 2. The victory enabled the Bobcats to stay in a first place tie with Hastings college in the N.C.C. Peru State will meet its next N.C.C. opponent, Doane College, in the Peru Oak Bowl Friday, Nov. 8 at 2:00 p.m.

Peru scored almost at will in the first half with the Bobcat backs ripping gaping holes in the Midland d€fense. The first time Peru got their hands on the ball they launched a 66-yard scoring drive that ended seven plays later with quarterback Sid Brown plunging the last yard for ~he score. Bob Bryants's placement was perfect and .Peru led 7-0 with slightly nine minutes remaining in the first quarter. · Late in the quarter Peru received a Midland .punt and marched 49 yards to score. A 24yard pass from Sid Brown . to halfback Gary Adams set the ball on the one-yard line from. where Adams slanted off tackle for the t~uchdown. Bryant split the uprights to make the score 14-0 as the period ended.

Following the kickoff, Midland's sputtering offense was unable to penetrate the stubborn Peru defense and the Warriors were forced to punt. · Peru took possession on her own. '33-yard line, and on the first play lightning struck. Halfback Doug Gibson skirted left ~nd •and rocketed ~7 yards behind superb blocking for the score. Bryant's extra

point attempt was not good.

The next Peru touchdown was set up· by a. pass interception.

Sid Brown nabbed the Midland pass on 'the Warrior 45 and raced fo the 16-yard stripe before being stopped. Three plays later fullback Bob Bryant bucked over from the one-yard line for the Bobcats' fourth first-half touchdown. Gary Adams' conversion attempt went wide and Peru led at half time 26-0.

The two teams battled the second half on even terms until midway in the fourth quarter when a 40-yard sustained drive by the Bobcats netted another touchdown. Doug Gibson knifed around right end for six yards and the fifth and last Peru tally.

Gary Adams passed to end Jerry Grancer for the extra point.

Midland escaped a shutout with a last ditch scoring effort.

The Warriors moved 53 yards in twelve plays to score. Halfback Charles Hartman raced six yards on a fourth down situation for the score with only 48 seconds remaining in the contest. The try for the extra point failed.

FRAN WHEELER What are some of the highlights of your life with ''Coach Al"? Fran Wheeler, Director of Women's Physical Education and wife of recently-honored Al Wheeler, was quick to point out many.

The Wheelers met at Columbia University while both were working for M.A. degrees. They were married at Christmas during Al's first year at Peru, but Mrs. Wheeler finished the year at the University of Tennessee where she was teaching physical education.. In March of that year she saw Al's team go to semifinals ill the NAIA Tournament. .Fran is proud of Al's undefeated teams and of Al's many honors, but she feels that even more special is the feeling that the boys on the team are ''their" boys, and she regrets that she has recently had so little time to entertain the boys · in her home as she has so often done in the past. Another high point in· her life is furnished by Al, Jr., who is "very much interested in athletes and a good golfer for a 13year-old."

Asked to express her feelings concerning the recent testimonial dinner honoring her husband, Mrs. Wheeler said, "I think it was pretty wonderful that Al's associates gave this dinner for their colleague."

Thanksgiving Convocation A Thanksgiving convocation under the supervision of Mr. J. D. Levitt was presented Wednesday, November 27, by the speech department. , The program consisted of three parts. Part one was announcements, read by Mr. Levitt, with fanfare by Henry H i n r i c h s.

(There were no announcements) Part two, presented by the debate class, illustrated both the affirmative and the negative sides of the national debate proposition "Resolved: that compulsory union membership as a condition of employment shOuld be illegal." Sue Moore presented

A graduate of Oberlin (Ohio) College, where he compiled a brilliant record as a three-sport letterman, Coach Al quarterbacked the football team through three seasons that saw only three defeats. The most memorable event in his athletic career was during the 1922 football season when the Wheeler-quarterbacked Oberlin school upset the Ohio State Buckeyes. Al captained the school's basketball team for three years. After graduation, he played one season of pro-basketball.

Al's coaching career started at Los Angeles' Manual Arts High School and after two years there, he spent another two years coaching freshmen football at Iowa State. He then moved to Amherst College in Massachusetts and spent nine successful years there before coming to Peru State in 193'!l.

By Bob Henry Led by Vernon Cozad, a bruising fullback, the Colorado State Bears scored three second half touchdovvns to defeat the Peru Bobcats 19 to 3. The defeat knocked the Peruvians out of the ranks of the unbeaten. The nonconference game was played at Greeley, 'Colorado, Saturday afternoon (Nov. 16) on a slippery tµrf. Snovv had fallen all morning and for the most part melted as it fell.

The scoreless first half was frustrating for both squads. Early in the first quarter, a Colorado State fumble vvas plucked out of the air by Peru ,halfback Buddy Bookwalter on the Colorado State 38-yard l~ne. Bookwalter lateraled to quarterback Sid Brovvn who advanced the ball to the Bear 22-yard line. The Bobcats moved the ball for a first down on the Colorado 6-yard

marker. In four plays, the stiff Bear defense allowed Peru to move to the one-yard line where the Bears took over.

Late in the first quarter, a 64yard Peru drive was stopped on the Colorado 17-yard line by a timely pass interception. Never again in the first half were the Bobcats able to penetrate deeper than the Colorado State 45-yard line.

The Bears threatened on 1 y once in the first half. The Bobcats stopped a Bear drive on the Peru 17•yard line midway in the second quarter.

The third quarter opened vvith Peru kicking to the Bears. On the first play from scrimmage, Peru guard Jim Rosenquist pounced on a Bear fumble at the Bear 26yard stripe. Again the Colorado defense proved to be too much for the Peru air and ground game. With a fourth down situation facing the Bobcats, on the Bear 21, Peru Coach Al Wheeler sent Gary Adams into the game for a field goal attempt. The ball was placed down on the 29-yard line, from where Adams booted a strike to put Peru ahead 3 to 0 with 1:00 gone in the third quarter.

Midway in the third quarter, a Peru pass was intercepted on the Colorado 48-yard line. The Bears launched a march that ended nine plays later with fullback Cozad! bolting five yards for the TD. Cozad failed to con-

vert and the Bears led 6-3.

Late in the third quarter, Peru marched to the Colorado 3-yard line only to see the Bear defense stop the Bobcats cold.

As the fourth quarter got underway, the Bears took possession on their ovvn 5-yard line.

With Cozad, Herschel Secrest, and Chuck Eubanks ripping gapping holes in the Peru defense, the Bears moved 95 yards in 16 plays to score. Cozad scored on a · 4-yard off-tackle smash. Cozad again missed the conversion and the Bears led 12-3 with 6:30 remaining.

Peru received, the kickoff and being unabJe to advance against . the Bears hgcd to punt. The Bears took possession on the Peru 49 and in four plays had another touchdown. Cozad, an all-afternoon thorn in Peru's side, hurtled off-tackle and raced 25 yards to score. This time Cozad's conversion was good to make the final score Colorado State 19, Peru 3.

,Bobcats Have Good '57 Record The Peru Bobcats finished sec; ond in the Nebraska College Conference behind the Hastings Broncos with a five win and one '. loss conference record.

The Wheelermen were unbeaten in six games prior to the Coloi rado State contest, but were up. ended by Colhrado State 19-3, and then dropped· the conference chamgionship tilt to the Hastings 1 · Broncos 19-6. Therefore, the Bobcats dipcovered the last two encounters "rough" going.

A significant point should be noted: that the Bobcats played their· last three games within a week and a half. This would

work a hardship upon any football aggregation.

A highlight of the Bobcat '57 football season was the Peru victory over "tough". Warrensburg, Mo. without Coach Al Wheeler's making the Missouri trip. This decisive victory showed that the 1957 Bobcats were a well coached team.

To conclude the season, the Peru Bobcats proved they still remain a Titan in the Nebraska College football scene by steam rolling over: Chadron 32 to 13, Wayne State 34 to 0, Nebraska Wesleyan 34 to 0, Midland 33 to 6, ·and· Doane 31 to 7.

Hastings Broncos Take Championship

By Defeating The Bobcats 19-6

By Bob Henry · The Hastings .College Broncos captured the Nebraska College Conference Championship Thursday afternoon, November 21, by defeating the Peru State Bobcats 19 to 6 at Peru's Oak Bowl. The Bronco defense must be credited with making the difference in the game: Twice at crucial mo· ments in the game the Hastings defenders stopped the Bobcats inside the Hastings 10-yard line.

Hastings proke the scoring ice first with 3:47 remaining in the first quarter. Hastings' Tom Osborne took a Bookwalter quickkick on his own 48-yard line and slithered his way back to the Peru 28. Two plays later this same Osborne defied both mud and Peru defenders to gallop around his own left end for 17 yards and a touchdown. The try for the extra point was blocked

by Peru's Jon Appleget.

Midway in the second quarter, Peru struck back. Halfback Doug Gibson intercepted a Hastings pass on the Peru 45-yard line and raced to the Hastings nine~yard line before being pushed out of bounds. Thr.eerun; ning plays netted the ·Bobcats just three yards, and o:Q.. fQurth down quarterback Sid Bro:Wn found end Jerry Grancer all alone in the end zone and rifled a perfect scoring pass to the Beatric.e senior. Gary Adams' attempted conversion failed, and the score stood deadlocked.

Early in the third quarter, Peru had a golden opportunity to. jump into the .lead only to be stopped inside the Hastings 10yard line ·by a spirited Bronco defense. Guard Jim Rosenquist blocked a Hastings punt on the Bronco 39-yard line. The ball bounded back to the Hastings 24 where it was recovered by Riley Ruby. In two plays the Bobcats had a first down on the 13-yard line but the drive fizzled out and a 14-yard field goal attempt by Gary Adams failed by an eyelash.

The turning point came late in the third quarter. With a fourth

down situation on the Peru 35yard line, halfback Buddy Bookwalter's punt was blocked by Hasting's center Jim Thede and the Broncos took over on the Bobcat 18-yard marker. Hastings, taking advantage of the opportunity, moved those 18 yards in flve plays with quarterback Tom Osborne sneaking one yard for the tie breaking and what proved to be the. winning touch· down. Eldon Pequette's extra point attempt split the uprights and Hastings led 13 to 6 with 1:55 remaining in. the .third quar; ter.

Midway in the fburth qua:r.ter, Peru. made one last desperate bid to equalize the score. Peru took possession of the ball, following a Hastings punt, on the Hastings 43-yard line. With Bookwalter and Adams alternating in carrying the ball, the Bobcats moved to the Hastings 5-yard! line. On a third down Brown went back to pass, the ball partially knocked from his hands by a hard charging Hastings lineman was intercepted by end Dick Erickson who raced to the Peru 39-yard lihe before being halted.

Late in the quarter a Peru fumble was recovered by Hastings on the Peru 28. In six plays the Broncos added the icing to the championship cake with re. serve quarterback Pa1,1l Toms sneaking one yard for the touchdown. The extra point failed but with only 1:55 remaining in the game it made little difference.

Thus the long and muddy N.C.C. football season came to an· end with Hastings College being crowned as the new conference champions.

Basketball Schedule FOR '57·'58 BOBCATS

A 23 game schedule and the Four-State Tournament at Falls City are on tap for the Peru State Bobcat cagers during the 1957-58 season, according to Jack Mcintire, head coach.

Only four non-conference opponents are included on the regular. schedule-two me e tings with Tarkio (Mo.) College and one each with Omaha University, Sterling (Kans.) College and Kansas City Uni:llersity.

The number of ;on-N.C.C. opponents was cut· with the entry of Concordia and Dana colleges as official members of the conference effective with the current bask~tball season.

The Four-State Tournament will include teams from Baker University, Baldwin, KaI).sas; Graceland College, Lamoni, Iowa; Tarkio (Mo.) College, and Peru State.

The pre-schedule meeting be· tween the Peruvian Varsity and Alumni Tuesday night (Nov. 26) was followed by the first intercollegiate· contest with Tarkio College Monday (Dec. 2) in the Peru gymnasium.

Peru State will host their first N.C.C. opponent December 16 when Doane College will meet the Bobcats on the Peru maples.

GLEN HEYWOOD A local boy with numerous football abilities sums up the 195 pound Peru College senior.

Glen Heywood was a fast and deadly tackler making him one of. Wheeler's defensive mainstays. Glen will be a hard Bobcat to replace next season. Glen is a physical education major.

JERRY LUDWIG A product of Bellevue high, Jerry Ludwig has been a mainstay in the Wheeler attack. Jerry has been a fighter. from the opening whistle and an explosive leader on defense; he will be a hard player to replace in · the center of the Peru line. 1 Jerry is a physical education major.

RON WAGNER Sheer football desire and determination have been a cog in Ron Wagner's gridiron life. Ron from Dawson, Nebr. and weighing 170 has been a pivotman in the Bobcat attack. Ron's desire is to give the opposition a. "fit" on . both offense and defense.

Ron is a physical education major.

HENRY HART Hailing from Red Oak, Iowa, Henry Hart earned his third Peru football letter this season. The 17 5 pound Hart is shifty and fast with a change of pace which enabled Hank to be a real gridiron threat. By his good kicking and passing, Hank became a triple threat back. Hank is married and a major in physical education.

Speaking of Sports

RILEY RUBY Outstanding on defense and offense, the 185 pound Tecumseh lad was always a fine line stalwart and ever "eager" to play the game of football. Riley Ruby was a fine pass receiver and really tough in his end position. The Bobcat wingman will be hard to replace next season. Riley is a physical edµcation major.

Varsity Beats Alumni The Peru State Varsity basketball team opened the roundball season for their first win of the year over the Peru Alumni by 66-50 Tuesday evening, Nov. 25.

The Varsity took the lead with six minutes to play in the first half and le;id by 35-26.

During the second half the varsity lead all the way. Bruce Smith lead the varsity scoring with 17 points. Ron Wagner and Bob Davis each dunked 12 points for the Alumni.

By Hal Norris INTRAMURALS-

Intramural basketball for this year looks like another close race. This ye'!r eight teams will be attempting to overtake last year's champions, the Knights.

The teams are: The Brown Nosers, Wee Little Odd Vets, Knights, Rockets, Four Aces, Stompers, Leftovers, and the Satelite Stars. All personnel in Eliza Morgan hall are invited to watch the schedules posted in the campus gymnasium so as not to miss the hard court action.

CHEERLEADERS-

A charge of apathy is filed against our cheerleaders. The Bobcat cheerleaders never led a single cheer during the Tarkio "B" team game;' also, during our band numbers the cheerleaders were completely off the band

rhythm. This basketball scene looks quite disjointed when the music plays and our cheerleaders clap the wrong beat while all White Angels clap the correct band rhythm. Therefore, our cheerleaders should initiate campus spirit· and not wait until the student body shouts for it; also, our cheerleaders could improve on their interpretation of music rhythm.

By Mary Anna Gnade Oh, alas, tragedy visited the kindergarten room: After days of guessing what was to occupy the new cage (one little boy was positive it was baby lions) and the excitement of the arrival of the hamsters (canned, like fruit juice). and the days of watching them hoard food in their mouth pouches, Thanksgiving was too much and they expired. Problem: (for Mrs. Adams) how to break the sad news to little kindergartners.

Russian achievements must be spurring our youth to increased scientific efforts. Jimmy Christ sent formal invitations to freshmen to join the Physical Science Club of Peru. Seems only logical

for the son of the head of the science division to be behind scientific delvings by the youth.

Now, day after Thanksgiving vacation, Christmas prepaiations (program, gifts, party plans, o yes, classes) are in full swing.

Each elementary room works out ·its own part around a central theme for the program Dec. 19th.

The high school has a musical religious pantomime-skit which draws far too few spectators. Do try to see it the last afternoon before Christmas recess in the High School Auditorium.

In the words of the S ah a r a Desert nomads: May you break bread with your loved ones and your hearts be more blessed than your stomachs.

DEBATERS TO WAYNE The Peru State Debate teams traveled to Wayne for the Wayne tournament Thursday and Friday, Dec. 6 and 7.

The debaters from Peru were Mrs. Monroe, Tom Higgens, Martha Sue Moore, Linda Moore, and Gerald Olberding.

"Victory Rode the Rails·· Or Did It?"

BUSINESS EDUCATION

ART DEPARTMENT

INDUSTRIAL ARTS

A small lecture room, a totally inadequate typing laboratory, and a cramped "come-what-may" space between them characterize the business education department at Peru State. Forty-six students claim bus. ed. counselors, and 214 class cards were received this semester. While 21 1! isn't the number of individual students in those classes, it still represents a mighty percentage of the total enrollment.

The art department has been "temporarily" located on the top floor of the iibrary building since it was added in 1911. Facilities have changed little since that time, At the top of a narrow flight of stairs on the east side of the building, the art department consists of three classrooms, one narrow hall and a small office. One of these classrooms is used as a laboratory and is cluttered with materials being used by the various classes-tubs of dye, crocks of clay, block printing materials, half-finished works of art, and .displays occupy all available space. There is little room to work.

The woodworking portion of the industrial arts department is located on the third floor of the college heating plant; Peru State has never constructed a building designed for industrial arts.

Projects awaiting completion are scattered throughout the rooms, and the normal storage space for these projects is used for the final finishing of stain, lacquer, and wax. The closeness in these quarters sometimes leads to damage to other projects, such as upholstered chairs.

Dr. George Schottenhamel, associate professor of history at Peru (Nebr.) State College, participated in the national convention of the American Historical Association in New York City, December 27-30.

The Peru State faculty member addressed the transportation section on the subject, "Victory Rode the Rails-or Did It?" at the December 28 session in Hotel Statler.

Editorial . ..

By What Authority?

In the January 10 issue of the Antelope, the Kearney State student newspaper, we read an article on the governor's veto of all new buildings for state colleges until an outside survey of the needs of all state colleges hasbeen made. The sentence which drew the most interest in these quarters was one which began: "a group of Kearney business men made a survey of the classroom space at the two colleges."

Our question is: What are the Kearney business men doing making surveys of state. institutions and then making reports to the governor on the needs of the colleges?

Teacher Applicants Are Screened Here College officials are required to screen teacher applicants to see that they are qualified scholastically and are temperamentally fitted to meet the new role expected of teachers throughout the State of Nebraska and nation.

The Library Plans For the Future The college library has undergone a tremendous face-lifting. A whole new staff has been appointed, the collection has been brought together into one main area, and the reference and fiction collections have been increased. New equipment has been purchased and an "open stacks" policy, inter-library loan service and broader research materials for the graduate students have brought about a more extensive and facilitated use of the library.

capacity, the guide cards were in poor condition and there was no r?om for expansion.

All bound periodicals were transferred from the main reading room to the basement to gain expansion space, and their place was taken by the reference and fiction collections. The removal of free-standing shelves increased the seating capacity by about 15 percent. The installation of a biographic center next to the card catalogue added a necessary reference and profes· sional research instrument needed by all colleges.

The traffic problem was alleAccording to Max Langham, viated by the transfer and re college librarian: "Good library moval of some of the furniture service is based fundamentally to other parts of the library to upon the purposes of the total ·give a freedom of movement to college program.

According to Mr. Langham, "The increase in circulation fig~ ures indicate, in part, the success of the 'open stacks' policy.

Another indication of use comes by way of observing the number of students and patrons in the library each day, reference service increase, and the requests for information at the circulation desk.

There has been a decided increase in all of these areas."

Veterans on the Increase At ,Peru State CoHege

•

By Lois Rowe Fifty years ago the first Peru· vian staff was working on the first annual for the Peru Normal School. Those fifty years have brought changes to Peru College and to its yearbook the Peruvian. Some of these changes have been quite extensive, though some things have changed only a little.

The 1908 Peruvian was sp0nsored by the senior class. The seniors were the only students to have individual pictures. The other classes had group pictures.

Several of the organizations in 1908 were similar to organizations that Peru now has. For instance, the religious organizations: the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. are now the Student Christian Fellowship, and the N o rm a 1 Catholic Association is now the Newman Club. The chorus and the orchestra haveit't changed much, but the 1908 band had no girls in it.

The Philomathean and Everett Literary Societies were among the most important organizations on the campus in 1908, but they, along with the two debating clubs, the Ciceronian and the Athenian, are now non-existant at Peru. Many new organizations have taken the places of those that no longer exist.

Athletics changed much except for the uniforms. . Intramural sports teams were divided by classes. Girls' athletics consisted of basketball, tennis, and indoor baseball.

The 1908 Peruvian and other early Peruvians included some li~erary work by the students. dne short story in the first anmfo.l that gives a picture of the , differences and similarities between then and now is ''Mt. Vernon Hall" by Sara E. Dunn.

Fifty years have passed, and the fiftieth Peruvian will be coming out next spring. Each one is different and each one interesting. One has received national acclaim-the honor of being rated "All American." That was the 1939 Peruvian edited by Helen :M:argaret Lar~on.

The college library has almost a complete collection of Peruvians from 1908 to 1957 just sitting there on a shelf waiting for someone to check them out and read ihem. Sometime when you don't have anything else to do, why not look them over?

COOKIES MADE The Peru Prep FHA girls donated ingredients, made, packaged and: delivered twenty bo:xes of Christmas cookies to shut-ins and older people in and around Peru during the week preceding the holidays. '

Peru Staters Administer Elk Creek Tests Student representatives fr o m Dr. Boraas's measurement classes traveled to Elk Creek on January 9th to administer the Cali' fornia Achievement and Mental Maturity tests in coordination with the Elk Creek school testing program.

This intensive testing program lasted the entire day. Eeginning at the fourth grade level, the classes were divided into testing grade levels where Peru students administered the tests.

Eighteen Peruvians .took part in the program from educational measurements sections one and two. The Elk Creek testing program provided a practical field problem for this semester's .Ed. . measurement students.

Chaos·~ Order As I walked out one evening, Autumn climbed into my soul, leading Thoughts from dim-lit places Of longing, giving them faces.

Must one remain trapped in a NOW? With no path by which to escape Into Embryonic Future or Senile Past?

How Can one so finite contemplate Something other than a NOW? I looked up but only Endlessness Greeted me ....

Endless Nothingless b r e e di n g Nothingness Produced man, Who scarce knows how he began, Man . . . One short gasp of cosmic breath Sees Eternity stepping through Death, Untouched by time.

Sees It standing d:ark in space Unmoved by moving atoms, Feels c o n s c i o u s n e s s mixed throughout The emulsion of the universe.

Man . . . the foolish accident in a lifeless Universe, a coagulation of elements, Among a million billion bodies, each But an echo in light.

Time hovers tailless; headless With heavy impassive wings, And smothering, gasping, life flickers, The atoms whirling through Nothingness · Do not pause, Meaning withdraws, that Faint pulsating breath in Eternity It no more ...

I look-ed duwn but only Dust greeted me, Dust . . . bleeding with soft tender pain, A Love which \\'.OUld fain Find a peaceful rest, To still Its dying breast.

Dust . . . c a r r y i n g the Soul comes drifting, Drifting ...

I Walked on down the still, silent street . . . .

Edilor's note: Professor Robert Grayson gave us this poem by James McClellan. It was published in The Fall Rec:tangle of Sigma Tau Delta.

FIVE ATTEND CONFERENCE Five Peru College students and one .sponsor attended the Sixth National Methodist Student Conference at the University of Kansas campus at Lawrence, Kansas, from December 27 to January 1.

These students gave reports on the conference at the January 8 meeting of the Student Christian Fellowship.

Campus School Commentary

By Mary Anna Gnade HS seniors started class play rehearsals immejutly Christmas vacation was over. Name of play?

"Little Acorns" yet, and on. the Campus of a Thousand Oaks! It must be a hard choice:-pl a y practice or a basketball game?

And the HS juniors have their play chosen, "Going Steady" which they felt to be appropriate since six of the eight girls in the class are going steady.

One thing nice about holidays · they bring people back lookin~ fresh and ready for new beginnings and with new topics of conversation (f'rinstance, a s k junior Lanette Adams what the boys gave her for Christmas, etc., etc.): At least one (initials are Glen Sheely and a supervisor yet of 8th grade!) came back looking a little the worse for wear. He has two stories of wot hoppenthe truth and the one he tells.

Campus school music pupils had to make an adjustment in location of lessons. Over holidays Mr. Jindra and Mr. Benford switched rooins-you will now find Mr. J. on the west end: and Mr. B. has ber,~promoted to the east side (of the\Music Hall, natch!) · Miss Clarke's 3rd grade now has a new club. Upon qualification, pupil ~.~s a card (w.ith star) saying . · is a member of the "Very· ood at Arithme-tic" club. Laying the groundwork for future scientists, d'you think?

And in the interest of health, Miss Wonderly is promoting breakfast. Jimmy G insisted on a menu of egg, bacon, toast, fruit j_uice, milk, cereal, and ... (all in 15 minutes?) This will be highlighted with a breakfast party to which Dr. Holy and Miss Ashley are invited at 10 o'clock "the day before Friday."· Do you suppose the college band sounds so good because of th!' four HS members: Mary Ellen Wilson, oboe; Judy and Lanette Adams, flute; and Hanford Miller, trombone.

NEBRASKA COLLEGIATE PRESS ASSOCIATION MAY BE FORMED Ralf Graham, publications adviser at Midland College, Fremont, is working on the organization of a Nebraska Collegiate Press Association.

Should the organization be completed, the Pedagogian and Peruvian will join. Many benefits may be derived from a state association.

Enrollment For Second Semester Good-· Graduate Students on Increase

By David Longfellow

A:s the smoke cleared away after second semester registration, the final tally stood at 401 full-time day students, 116 students enrolled in Wednesday evening - - - - - - - , - - ·- - - - -

Hutcheson Sponsors New Organization For Ed. Majors Efforts are ·being put forth on the PSTC campus to form a new organization called the Student Education Association of Nebraska for students who are training to be teachers. The first meeting of this new organization will be held at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Febr.uary 24, in the campus school auditorium with Dr. Harold Hutcheson as the faculty sponsor. Students who have been accepted in the teacher education , curriculum ' will be invited to join the SEAN. The purposes of the organization are:· (1) to develop among young people who are preparing to be teachers an organization which shall be an integral part of state and national education associations, (2) to a c q u a i n t teachers in training with the history, ethics, and program of. the organized teaching profession, (3) to give teachers in training practical experience in working together in a democratic way on the problems of the profession and the community, (4) to interest the best young men and women in educahon as a lifelong career, (5) to encourage careful selection of persons admitted to schools which prepare teachers, with emphasis on both character and scholarship, (6) to seek through the dissemination of information and through higher higher standards of prepan;tion to bring teacher supply and demand into a reasonable balance.

Beverly Mehlen Queen Of Sweethearts' Formal The "Sweethearts' F o rm al" sponsored by the MENC, was held in the college gymnasium on Mol).day, February 10. The campus music organization handled the decorations and music for the dance, which drew a ·b o u t 50 couples.

The feature attraction of the evening, the coronation, saw Ron Witt and Beverly M e h 1 en crowned King and Queen of Hearts. Attending them were: Doug Gibson and Sharon Grieninger;· Riley Ruby and Martha Sue Moore; Ray Ehlers and Sara· Sue Starns; and Jon Appleget and Carole Heuer.

Playing for the dance were: Larry Miller and Jerry Bippes, trumpets; Kenny Stroupe, tenor saxophone; Gilbert Wilson and Marjorie Leener.ts, alto saxes; B. J. Eddy and Charlotte Wheeler, alternating on the. drums; and Larry Carre and,. Mrs. Gilbert Wilson, alternating on the piano.

Jerry Bippes and C ha r 1 o t t e Wheeler were new faces to the campus, coming from Stella and Nemaha, respectively.

Phil Neuhalfen was master of ceremonies for the coronation,

classes, and two part-time day students, according to Mrs. Corabelle Taggart, assistant registrar.

These ·figures do not include the enrollment in off-campus night courses.

The total day-student enrollment for the first sem,ester was 413, but the drop is mostly attributed to the graduation of 13 seniors. A total of 41 other students dropped out for reasons other than graduation. The final number of new students stood at 42: 16 transfers, 17 former students, and nine new freshmen.

The on~campus night class enrollment djopp~d from 130 in the first semester tO. 116 in the second semester, but the number of students enrolled for graduate courses rose from 13 to 16.

The st ·. are not too bright when co ed to the figures o! a year ago. At the second semester, 1957, enrollment stood at 450 despite a 66 student drop-out at the break. However, the new student population balances almost exactly the number of dropouts, so while we didn't gain any ground, we didn't lose any.

Actually, holding our own enrollment amounted to a gain because nearly all colleges report fewer second semester students than they had the first semester.

Debaters Attend Rocky Mountain Speech Conference Four stu.dents from the Peru State Teachers College debate teams attended the Rocky Mountain Speech Conference held at the University of Denver February 6, 7, and 8. Attending were Joan Wesolowski, Omaha; Hal Norris, Lincoln; Linda Moore, Nemaha; Sue Moore, Peru; and debate coach J, D. Levitt.

Twenty-nine schools from the Rocky Mountain area were represented at the conference. The theme of the meet was "Communications in a Technological World."

A mixed team, Joan Wesolowski and Hal Norris, debating in the Men's Division, won three of their six debates. Of the 40 teams in this division, the Peru State team was better .than 14 and tied with nine.

In the Women's Division, debaters Linda Moore and Sue Moore also won three of their six debates. Of the 19 teams in this division, Peru was better than five and tied with six.

Takii1.g part in the discussion group, Hal Norris was above average, while Linda Moore was average. In Women's Extempor-. aneous Speaking, Joan Wesolowski was average. Sue Moore was well above average in Interpretation.

Friday night the Bobcats had to go into overtime before mastering the hard driving Wildcats from Wayn:e. Peru took the lead from virtually the opening. whistle and once in the first h<tlf held a ten, puint Iead. By the· end of the initiial ltalf, .the determined Wilideats had whittled Peru's leadi t6 W. to 25. Peru managed to hang. on to the lead until 13:50 had been played in the secnnd half when Wayne's Burt St. John ripped a long set shot to tie the game at 49-all. From then on the game .was as tight as last year's spring suit.

At the end of regulation play, the game· was all knotted up at 58· points apiece to· send the game into overtime. With 51l seconds gone· in the overtime; Ron Witt canned two free throws to put Peru into the lead only to see Gerry Hueser again tie the g:ame with a jumping one hander. It was J cm Appleget who ap!}lied the crusher to the Wildcats by hitting a driving lay-out with about two minutes gone. Peru, from that time on, controlled the backboards, and kept Wayne sC<'>reless by demonstrating a d'eep freeze brand of ball control.

A:ppleget put the icing on the victory with a game-clenching free throw with five seconds remaining in the game.

Leading the "Cats" to victory was RH'ey Ruby with 17 points and following closely with 16 points was Bruce Smith. Bob Moore paced the losers with an 18. point outburst.

Kearney Game In Saturday night's action, the high-riding Bobcats fought back from being. 10 points behind at one time in the first half to sweep the Kearney Antelopes off their feet and register a 67 to 60 victory before an enthusiastic throng in the Peru gymnasium.

With big Bruce Smith leading the way, the ·never-say-die Bobcat's clawed their way back only to trail 31 to 32 at the intermission. In the second half the Peru attack jelled, and after 8:20 had been played: Riley Ruby netted a jump- shot to give Peru a 47 to

45 lead. The ba:H•hawking Bobcats roared to a 13 point lead with about three minutes left in the game. A last ditch Kearney surge narrowed the deficit to seven points before the . final buzzer, but it was too little and too late to stem the Peru tide.

WESLEYAN DROPS TWO-YEAR COURSE IN EDUCATION A headlined story in a recent issue of the Wesleyan ~nnounced plans of the Nebraska Wesleyan University to abandon its twoyear certification program in teacher education effective with the 1958-1959 school year. 'Wesleyan is the second school in the state to take this step to upgradethe requirements for elementary degrees.

Dr. Milton D. Evans, head of Wesleyan .education department was quoted as saying, "Hence· forth our department will grant degrees only to those teacher education candidates who suecessfully complete the four year requirements, both at the elementary and the s"e con d a r y level."

It is the conviction of Dr. Evans that the total educational experience of Nebraska school children Will be enhanced as this program takes effect in other colleges over the state. As more mature individuals enter . our classrooms as teachers, the pupils are bound to reap greater benefits.

Already 'thirty-one states across the nation have taken this step of four year requirements for teachers, and others are striving toward this goal.

Sue Moore Chosen HMiss Auburn"

By Dave Longfellow How does it feel to be chosen Miss Auburn in the early rounds of· the national Miss America Contest? For Sue Moore it was a flustering experience and one which she felt was a great honor.

It was also a very lucrative experience.

For instMce, the winner received the official sterling silver Miss America crown and bracelet, and the Miss America Bulova watch. The $50 prize in Sue's

Would she enter the contest mother to the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln for the state contest again, not knowing what the on Thursday, Friday, and Satur- outcome would be? Sue had an day, April 24, 25, and 26, where immediate "Yes," for that question.

Miss Nebraska will be chosen.

Mother Follows Children's Footsteps The Knosps Educate ·Seven Children; Then Mama Goes to College Mrs. Anna Kil.esp, Peru sophomore and wife of Rev. H. R. Knosp of Julian, Nebraska, was doing her high school work by correspondence at the time that her youngest daughter attended the university. Amongst the manifold duties of a clergyman's wife, Mrs. Knosp sandwiched in algebra, geometry, history and Eng~ lish.

At .midnight the day before Peru's September 1956 freshman registration day, Mrs. Knosp completed her last correspondence assignment wbich entitled her to the high school diploma.

The next morning Mrs. Knosp was in the freshman· registration line-the last of the Knosps in college!

Ahead of her were busy days, but behind her were even busier days. She had reared seven chi!-·

dreil and all but one had college educations. Three of her sons are now medic'al doctors: Norrrian of Belle Plaine, Iowa;.· Alton of Paton, Iowa; Glen at Elmwood, Nebraska. Another son is a teacher of blind veterans in the Los Angeles Veterans' Administration.

The fifth son, Clarence is a certified public accountant residing in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Mrs. Knosp's oldest daughter, Mrs. August Wilken is the wife of a Murdock, Nebraska merchant, and the youngest daughter Mrs. Kent Douglass is the wife Of a Methodist minister in El Cajon, California.

Financing of all these college educations was accomplished by the first ones through college helping the following. Four of the boys were in the armed services during the war, and three

Alpha Mu News The year is rapidly drawing to a close, bringing with it the departure of our sponsor. Mrs. Cook will be retiring this year. With her go our respect and thanks for the job she has done.

The last business meeting of this year, since our next will be a picnic, was devoted to the election of new officers for the next year. Jerry Beckmann and Gary Adams were elected president and vice president respectively with Lois Rowe secretary-treasurer.

It would have done the hearts of Campus School teachers, students and parents, both past and present, good to see two Peru Prep alums honored at the annual Publications banquets for, alas, the last time since both Dave Longfellow and Dick Corwine are going on to greater things.

Plans for annual class trips are becoming more definite: 7th grade to Lincoln May 9th unless it rains. 6th grade to Nebraska City same day "because Mr. Eddy has never picked a rainy day yet." 8th grade to Omaha probably same day-nothing like having most of the school empty.

And, despite turmoil and dissension, part of senior class will still go ·to Chicago independent of school sponsorship.

In the Chadron game, the Eagles jumped off to an 8 to 2 lead .after .five innings, but blew the '.lead as the battling Bobcats came up with a single run in the sev, enth and five last ditch runs to , tie in the bottom of the ninth. ·'Hits by Vincent, Samuelson, a · walk to .Aranza, and three more hits by Haack, Collier, and Fisher pushed across the five equalizing {·runs in the ninth.

Both teams went scoreless in ' the tenth, but in the eleventh inning with two outs, Lou Haack lashed a double to right. With the big right fielder on second, the Chadron hurler threw wildly

into center field trying a pick off play, and Haack came in to score as a wild throw from the outfield got away from the third baseman, to enable Peru to pick up the hard-earned win.

Fred Braun, who , hurled the last five i.nnings and whitewashed the Chadron nine, picked up the win as he yielded only one hit.

Creighton University on Saturday, pummeled the Peru·pitching staff for 12 big hits as they out-_ distanced the Peruvians in a slugfest 10 to 7. With their hitting attack in high gear, the Creightonc ites scored in every inning save the sixth and ninth.

Remembering their late inning heroics of Friday, the Peruvians, who trailed 9 to 3 going into the eighth inning, rallied to push across four runs in their ha1f of the inning to give the Bluejays a momentary scare. H ow ever, Creighton pushed across a single tally in the bottom of the eighth to ice the game.
