Total Over 600 For '59-'60 Peru has the largest enrollment in 20 years. Speaking of enrollment, Pres.ident Neal S. Gomon said, "This number (561) is not a record, but it is the highest in twenty years." Peru had 267 students at the time Dr. Go-, mon became president. At the beginning of the second full week of school, enrollment at Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru is up eight per cent, according to Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president. Full-time enrollment stands at 561 compared with 519 on the same date a year ago. Day-time enrollment consists of 186 freshmen, 142 sophomores, 74 juniors, 96 seniors, one postgraduate, and six special students. Part-time students swell the total enrolled in on-campus college courses to slightly over the six hundred mark. There are 353 boys and 152 girls, making the ratio of men to women about seven to four. Of the :t53 boys, 196 occupy Delzell. Of the 152 girls, 112 occuP'Y Eliza Morgan. The majority of these students hail from Nemaha, Richardson, and Otoe counties. Keith L. Melvin, dean of the college, said, "I think one reason why the enrollment in colleges has increased is the fact that there are more people that are college age and more people who see the need for college. Our increasll in enrollment is largely be ca use of the efforts of three or four staff members who have a particular responsibility in this area. Also, the prospects of new buildings has increased interest at Peru."

When asked to comment on the fact that she is now an instructor where she once was a student, Miss Crone replied, "Though I'm now on the other side of the fence, I have found that all the Peru professors, and especially my former instructors, have been very kind to

schools preceding a two-day tour in the spring; and several concerts here at Peru. The band's first appearance before a home audience will be at· half-time on Homecoming. The members are working on some special marching along with a band version of the show "Brigadoon." Smaller groups-a brass choir and a woodwind choir-are being organized. Earlier, on Sept. 14, Conductor Darryl Manring lead sixty-six voices in a try at a Bach chorale. The choir's schedule includes the presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Pinafore" on Nov. 12; the Christmas convo; a tour this spring; and an oratorio performance on Palm Sunday. The smaller group, Peruvian Singers, will not be organized until after the operetta.

This year's freshman class arrived on Sunday, September 6, to start a week long orientation program. The first activity was an informal dinner that night in the college cafeteria. Each freshman wore a name tag which helped him get acquainted with his new classmates. Throughout the week freshmen attended meetings on "How to Study." These meetings were headed by Dr. Keith L. Melvin. Different methods of reading assigned material, taking notes, and organizing time schedules were given and illustrated to the new students. Mr. Max Langham, head librarian, gave library orientatiqn instruction. He explained the use and general arrangement of the library. On Wednesday night, Sept. 9, the freshmen met their advisors to make study plans and schedules. Thursday, Sept. 10, all freshmen registered. The week's social events were climaxed by dorm .parties in Morgan and Delzell Halls a~d a Freshman Women's party Friday afternoon given by the Home Ee. Club.

First All-College Convocation On September 16, the first allcollege convocation started with a typical bit of Peruvian humor as a large boxer dog crossed the stage. The formal program op· ened with Reverend Lawrence Williams of the Peru Christian Church giving the invocation and the welcome of the ministerial association. Dr. Gomon then introduced the administrative and instructional staff and asked each class to stand for recognition. According to tradition, the first convo ended with the color song, accompanied by R. T. Benford at the organ.

Play Cast Selected The former Broadway production, "The Cave Dwellers," by William Saroyan, will be presented as Peru's Homecoming play on October 17. It will be under the direction of Mr. R. D. Moore. The setting for the drama is the stage of an abandoned theater. This is particularly fitting, because the author feels that all buildings are caves. The theater is the cave at its best, for it is the last arena in which all is possible. Portrayed in the dialogue of the actors is the importance of love and compassion in man's limited nature. Two of the leading characters of the play are the King, played by Tom Higgins; and the Queen, played by Rose Clancy. They are old and unemployed actors. An ex-boxing champion, played by Ray Meister; and a homeless girl, played by Sue Moore, complete the ostracized family which finds refuge in the old theater. Other members of the cast are: The Young Opponent, Harold Schmitz. A Woman, Joni Wesolowski. The Young Queen, Rae Ann Gnade. A You,ng Man, Ray Parde. The Father, Steve Rose. Gorky, Allen Nelson. The Mother, Helen Warford. The Silent Boy, Steve Parker. The Wrecking Crew Boss, Bob Mayo. Jamie, John Parli.

Delzell Hall News By Ray Meister Increased enrollment appears to be the picture in Delzell Hall this year. There are 197 men living in the dorm at the latest count. Three men live in each of the rooms at the present time, while five new rooms in the basement have furnished space for an additional 19 men. As usual, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri have the greatest number of men enrolled. There ~re ten lads from Illinois, two from Michigan, one from New York, and one from Idaho. The Dorm Council is headed this year by President, Jack Johnson; Vice president, L eon Chappel; and Secretary-treasurer, Dick Gerber. Dorm Counselors are Ray Parde, Milan Hawxby, Jere Krakow, 'Jerry Beckman, Charlie F~ancis, and Gary Scoggin. The first dorm meeting was held Tuesday, September 15, at 10:30 p.m. In the absence of President Johnson, Leon· Chappel outlined the general procedures for the coming year. Mrs. Paradise greeted all the returning students and welcomed all the freshmen and transfer students. She also discussed the modern facilities available to residents of the · dorm, such as the electric washer and dryer. The meeting was closed with a roll call, which many of the socalled weary sack-rats missed.

Whispers From Morgan By Carolyn Parli There has been a lot of activity in the dorm these last two weeks. The freshman girls are being initiated into our unique way of living with such things as brisk, cold showers and door slamming parties. The first floor gang had a surprise birthday party for Gail Ankrom and Judy Wolfe on Thursday night, September 17. The new members of the dorm council met September 15 and 17 in Miss Slattery's apartment to discuss various p r o b 1e m s brought up by the girls.

Lettermen 11oost Wheeler's Bobcats

An intercepted pass by Phil Peavyhouse, South Lyon, Mich., frosh, paved the way for a 6-0 Peru State Teachers College "B" team victory over Highland Junior College Thursday night.

Fifteen r e t u r n i n g lettermen bolster Coach Al Wheeler's W59 Bobcats. Included are Buddy Bookwalter, Jerry Henning, and Jim Poage, who were given honorable mention on the 1958 all N.C.C. team. Other veteran lettermen are Gary Anderson, Don Kasbohm, Dick Gerber, Wayne McFarland, LaMar Gibson, Gail Beckstead, Marion Battani, Bob Gibson, Gary Randles, Ray Utterbrink, Ernie Ridgeway; and H arr y Bryant. These fifteen lettermen, the other . upperclassmen, the transfer students, and the freshmen will make the Bobcats a tough team to peat.

The "B" team opener was marred by numerous fumbles and errors by both Bobcat and Scotty teams. Both teams were outstanding defensively, according to reports by "B" team coaches Jack Mcintire arid Jerome Stemper.

Al Wheeler's 1959 Bobcats, the Pride of Peru

Bobcats Mangle Westmar 34-0 In Season's Opener A smooth crew of Bobcat gridmen rolled to an easy 34-0 win over Westmar College Saturday night at LeMars, Iowa, to get the 1959 Peru State edition of football off to a roaring start. Conference competition opened for the Peruvians Saturday when they were in action against Dana College at Blair. The Bobcats' only non-league opponent proved to be no match for the Wheelermen, who scored twice in the first and third periods and once in the final. Fourteen first downs and a total of 541 total net yards were gained by the Bobcats, while the Westmar Golden Eagles gained two first downs for 49 yards. All 33 traveling squadmen saw action with almost all playing in two quarters. Depth That the Bobcats have quality in their added depth for the 1959 season was evident from the backfield speed, smooth passing _attack, line strength, and excellent blocking and ta c k 1 i n g throughout the game.

The first came on a third down with 7:13 remaining in the first quarter as Falls City's signal caller Jim Poage rifled a pass to right half Ross Pilkington, fleet-footed Red Oak, I o w a, sophomore. In the same period Pilkington swept right end behind ·some excellent blocking as the clock registered 4:48 yet to play. The third quarter tallies came with 8:05 and 2:40 remaining.

Frosh and Transfers Bolster '59 Bobcats Twenty freshmen and six key transfers are one reason for the bright outlook for the 1959 season in the Bobcat camp. At least a half dozen of these candidates have proven themselves good enough to earn early starting l;>erths on one of the two units. At present, both halfback spots are manned by new men. Ross Pilkington, a first year man, and Dick Place, transfer from the University of Nebraska, started Saturday against Westmar.

Head Coach Al Wheeler, center, and his assistants, Jack Mcintire and Jerome Stemper Coach Al Wheeler is off to what looks like another fine season . Coach "Al," as he is. known on campus, has been on the Peru campus for 22 years. During this time he has been head football coach. His name has become a tradition at Peru. In 1939, his third year as coach at. Peru, he coached, the Bobcats to the conference championship. In 1940, he went undefeated and again took the conference. In 1942 he shared the championship with Wayne. In the past nine years at Peru he has chalked up an unbelievable record of 66 wins against 12 losses. At one time Al's Bobcats went on a spree of 26 consecutive wins. This victorious spree began during the last part of the "51" season and continued until the first part of the "54" season. So our hats are off once more to Al Wheeler and the '59 Bobcats.

Jerome Stemper During the past five years, Al Wheeler has been very fortunate to have the able-bodied assistance of Jerome Stemper. Coach Stemper has also been headtrack coach. Last year his track team won 7 out of their 8 small meets and finished sixth in the conference. Last year's cinder men broke five school records. The word for this year's track team seems to be, "go man go." Jack Mcintire For the past three years, sports fans have rec'ognized the face of Jack Mcintire on campus. Coach Mcintire has already made quite a name for himself and the Peru basketball team. Last ·year he coached the Bo beats to the conference title. The year before he tied for the conference title. These three men are doing their best. Let's do our best and really back the Bobcats.

The conference was conducted at Denver, Colorado. Many national topics were discussed and acted upon at the conference.

PERU V. Butter is a book that contains many of the all time great questions of biology and research that has been done to clear these questions up. The book discusses many things, including the complex pattern of heredity, and the mysterious activities of the human brain. Written by a noted biophysicist and chemist, it is a fascinating story told in a clear, nontechnical way. The cells of the body, their make-up, their reactions to radiation and other foreign influences, and even the malignant cells of cancer, are explained and illustrated. For those who enjoy a good mysterr, there is Tree House Island by Scott Corbet.

NEBRASKA Two strangers arrived in the area of Goose Harbor and immediately began acting mysterious. Harvey Harding first noticed these two and their suspicious actions. Both strangers, Dr. Dellingham and Professor Santos, claimed to be scientists doing research. But why were they digging all night long on the island? Why did Dr. Santos carry a gun? Soon a clue was found that linked their mysterious activities with a murder and a robbery. This brought four men to the island one night, where they met suspense and violence. Tree House Island is a rousing mystery that is packed with suspense.

Peru State's New $500,000 Industrial Arts &ilding Peru State Starting Million-Plus Building Pr0gram Providing Four New Structures By Jeannine Ehlers This past summer, contracts were let for construction of the first phase of a million-plus building program to take place on the Peru Campus. The general construction contracts included an addition to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence Hall, a ninety-student Men's Residence Hall, a new Student Union and Cafeteria Building, and a split-level Industrial Arts Building. The dormitory facilities are scheduled for use in September, 1960. Target date for completion of the Student Union Building and Cafeteria has been set for January, 1961. The IndustriaJ Arts Building is scheduled for completion in January, 1961, also. Morgan Hall Addition Eliza Morgan Hall will have two new additions added to it. The west addition that will provide housing for twenty women will consist of four floors, each having five doUJble rooms. After Mount Vernon Hall is razed upon completion of the new Student Union Building, a south addition of four stories with the ground floor as a study hall will be added to Eliza Morgan. New Boys' Dorm The ninety-student men's residence hall is .being erected on the west rim of the Oak Bowl, south and east of Delzell Men's Residence Hall. The ground floor will include eight double rooms; with a television lounge, laundry room, and storage and maintenance rooms. The first floor will have seventeen double roorris. It will also include a lobby, an office, and a two-room house mother's apartment. The second floor will house forty students. All of the rooms will have built-in desks, dressers, book shelves and closet space. The structure has been planned in order to make possible the addition of a future wing.

It will be of industrial type construction with the shop divided into three major areas-general metals, general mechanics, and general woodworking. Each of these' major shop areas will be forty by sixty feet, and each will have a planning center, general storage space and locked storage space. To the rear of the shop area, there will be a forty foot concrete apron for outside storage of machinery. There will be 24,000 square feet in the industrial arts building, of which 14,500 ,square feet will be devoted to the general shops.

enue bonds. The bonds will be paid for out of rentals of dormitory space, rentals from the various enterprises which will occupy space in the ·Student Union Building, and from a special Student Union fee charged to all students and faculty members. It is interesting to note that on the cahipuses of all four of the Teachers colleges in Nebraska, only the classroom buildings have been paid for out of tax funds. All of the dormitories, student unions, and other building of that nature, have been paid for under this revenue bond program. The capital value of the facilities at the four colleges is roughly $15 million dollars. Of this amount, only slightly more than $7 million dollars has been at a cost to the taxpayers. The rest of the buildings have been built by revenue bonds. When all bonds are paid off, these buildings become the property of the State of Nebraska, without direct cost to the people of the state.

Wiener Roast For Ped And Peruvian Staff The Pedagogian and Peruvian staffs were honored with a wiener roast by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Linscheid on Tuesday, October 6, at their new home here in Peru. The students devoured a tremendous quantity of hot dogs, potato salad, beans, cake, and pop. Twenty staff members attended the wiener roast.

$12,000 Improvement Of Stage Delights Dramatics Club Director

Rooms Added In Dormitories

By Ray Meister The lights are beginning to dim. The .Cuttain is about to go up. The play is ready to begin. Another season is about to open for the Peru Dramatics Club under the direction of Mr. Robert D. Moore. Many people have already noticed that Mr. Moore is probably one of the happiest men on campus .this year. The reason for this is the $12,000 allocated to redecorate and relight the stage in the college auditorium. This much needed improvement was begun during the summer session and was only recently completed. A pleasant surprise. will greet the eyes of returning alumni when they attend the production of The Cave Dwellers Saturday evening, October 17. The first object to attract their attention will undoubtedly be the new, paleblue front· curtain. This is indeed a great improvement over the old, red curtain which has be en cleaned, refinished, and hung dead at the back of the stage. Other additions in the line of new curtains are: dark blue tormentors and teasers; a cyclorama on a steel track; and an olio or act curtain. All of these are mounted on a counterweight system and can be pulled into the stage loft when not in use. After the curtain has opened for the first act, the audience will be again surprised at the various effects that can be achieved with all the new lighting system.

Drawing Of Pmu's New Student Union

Football Convo On September 30, a combination pep rally and convocation was held to introduce the football team and personnel. Mr. Gilbert Wilson, director of the band, led it in a few numbers to arouse the spirit. After announcements by Tom Higgins, Coach Al Wheeler introduced Coaches Stemper and Mcintire, who expressed their weighty confidence in the team. Mr. Wheeler then introduced the team members. The cheer leaders led in yells for the team, and had the cocaptains for the game, Dick Gerber and LaMar Gibson, give brief, encouraging statements about the game. The convocation ended with the color song.

The last few days the men and women in Eliza Morgan and Delzell Halls have been listening to the sound of hammer and saw. New rooms are being added in the basemen ts to take care of a few more students. These rooms are being built by the college carpenter, Mr. Ernest Longfellow, and campus workmen. In Morgan Hall accommodations have ,been made for ten more girls. There will be room for two girls in the old laundry room, two in the old sewing room, two in one of the old storerooms, and four in the old study hall. Accommodations in Delzell Hall have been made for 10 more boys. There will be five boys in what used to be the old Peruvian room, three ·in the east part of the old pool hall, and two in the faculty room. This, along with the lowering of the ceilings and replacement of old furniture, constitutes the extent of the improvements on the two resident halls.

Bobcats Slay Vikings 53-0 Bobcats Mangle Peru State's Bobcats made the Dana Vikings their second victim of the young football season Saturday as they rolled to an easy 53-0 victory at Blair. The Bobcats will face their second N.C.C. opponent in their first home contest Thursday when they meet the Concordia Bulldogs of Seward in the Oak Bowl. . Cats Score Quickly From the opening kick-off of Saturday's tilt, it was evident' that the. Vikings were no match for the Wheelermen.. After the Bobcats received the kick-off ·. and returned to their own 31, Buddy Bookwalter quick-kicked on the first play from scrimmage to put the Vikings back on their own 5-yard line. After no gain on the first down, the Vikings punted to their own 43-yard line, where the ball rolled dead. Peru using 10 plays pushed the ball to Dana's 8-yard line, where Chris Salberg, Louisville h a 1f b a c k, swept left end and crashed into the end zone for the first touch.down of the game. After Dana received the kickoff on their 6-yard line, they lost five yards on their first play from . scrimmage.

Peru's fourth touchdown came early in the second period as the Bobcats took over on the Dana 35, after the' Vikings failed to move the ball. Peru drove to the Dana 4-yard line where Dick Place plunged over on a fourthdown situation. Poage again converted. Scoring Spree In Second After Dana and Peru exchanged a series of downs, Dana punted from Peru's 48 to the Bobcat 10, where Ross Pilkington, Red Oak, Iowa, halfback, fielded the ball and electrified the crowd with a beautiful 90yard run up the sideline for a touchdown. Gerber and 'Leon Chappell, Wood River, Ill., center, threw key blocks to spring the Red Oak speedster. Poage's kick again split the uprights. With about two minutes left in the half, the Wheelermen pushed across two more touchdowns. Quarterback Jim Poage pitched a 25-yard ·pass to Pilkington for Peru's sixth touchdown of the afternoon. Once again Jim converted. This made the score 40-0. With less than 30 seconds left in the half, Peru took over the ball on the Dana 46. Bob Gibson, Falls City halfback, passed to Chris Salbert for 24 yards and then passed 22 more to Ken Rhodus, Bellevue end, for the seventh Peru TD. Poage booted the extra point, making the score 47-0 at halftime. 'Cats Coast. The game securely in the bag, Al Wheeler's charges were content to hold the score down. Only once, in the third period, did they unleash the power they showed the first half. On that play they broke Pilkington loose over the center of the line and he rambled 55 yards for the tally. Poage, losing some of his ·touch after booting five straight extra points, missed on his last try. This touchdown ended the scoring. The final score was Peru 53 and Dana 0. · The defensive work of the Bobcat team was outstanding. This is shown in the fact that Dana was held to a total of minus 19 yards both passing and rushing. At game time the Bobcat team was the leading defensive. team in the NAIA. The Dana Vikings could content themselves in the fact that their halfbacks, Stan Cupp and Gary Kubik, looked like future threats to the N.C.C. with a little more experience.

CONGRATULATIONS, STUDENTS There was much of excellence in Peru's 1959 Homecoming. Even the weather was splendid and contributed much to the over-all success of the event. Exhibits were better than usual and the freshmen won with their "record" display. The Wheelermen turned in a fine performance in the Oak Bowl and defeated Wayne 16-6. The only regrettable thing about the game was the injury of Poage at the second half kick-off. The band gave a fine performance. Hundreds were served at the Delzell coffee hour, and representatives of the alumni office and the Pedagogian were on hand passing out Peru Staters and Pedagogians. The alumni luncheon and the "P" Club luncheon were well attended. The Dramatics Club gave a professional performance of Saroyan's "Cave Dwellers." The festivities ended with the Homecoming dance. The entire student body is to be congratulated for splendid cooperation in making Homecoming the great day it was. Also the student body deserves commendation for its exemplary behavior. Conducting themselves with dignity, the students had a good time and were fine hosts to the alumni and friends of the college. All of us were very proud of you, students, and of the contributions you made to the finest Homecoming in recent years. -S. P. L.

Library Shorts By Carol Ellenberger Kissing Cousins by E m i 1y Hahn is a true story about a trip the British-born author took across the country with her two young daughters. It is a story containing many and varied experiences as the English family become acquainted with the United States and its ways. The trip is an eye-opener in many ways for the family and the author instills the humor to be found only in such experiences. Kissing Cousins is a book full of joyfulness and the varied observations that an Englishman has of the United States. For a story about cattle and the ranching empire of the Old West, The Cattlemen by Mari Sandoz is just the book. In the book the author traces the history. of cattle raising, its movement westward, and the beginnings of the towns w h i c h were destined to become the centers for markets and railroads. Mari Sandoz also 'reaches back into the lives of many men and the . campaigns against "rustlers" and the big gun fights. Just as the cattle empire's power increased, so did they collapse, and the author recovers the sharp and moving action of this period of our history. The Cattlemen is an exciting book and a true account of the frontier days. Nehru by Dr. Michael Brechner is a political biography and also a political history of India covering the last forty years.

The author makes an impressive study of Nehru's political and psychological development. It is a striking portrait of the Indian leader, his influel}Ce, his past experience and background. Sources for the book were many of Mr. Nehru's speeches and information gathered from the archives of Congress. Dr. Brechner, the author, is associate Professor of Political Science at McGill University. If you are interested in astronomy, The Stars Are Yours by James Sayre Pickering is an informative and en t e rt a in in g choice. This book, recently revised, explains astronomy, emphasizing objects easily seen wi~hout telescopes and other expensive equipment and clearly defines everything avoiding scientific terminology. In it the solar system is discussed as well as. our galactic system and those that lie beyond. Mr. Pickering tells about many strange occurences and mysterious activities that happen in space that are almost unbelievable. Many of the age-old questions are also explained and discussed with the help of clear, up-to-date charts. The author, James Pickering, is a graduate of Columbia college and has been interested in astronomy all his life. At present, he is Special Lecturer at the Hayden Planetarium.

Whispers From Morgan By Carolyn Parli The girls have been busy these last two weeks getting ready for Homecoming. Long hours were spent by Linda Goodin and her committee making the dorm's display. The dorm was decorated to represent a music shop called Melody Hall.

They had another one of those parties-birthday party, that is. This time the party was for Marilyn Wenzbauer and Ellen Hunzeker. Dorm council met in Miss Slattery's apartment Oct. 13, 1959, at 6:00 p.m. They decided that the Christmas Tea will be h e 1 d Thursday, Dec. 10. The girls enjoyed the program given by "Ben, Your Hairdresser" on Oct. 19. Free gifts were given to some of the girls whose names were drawn from name cards. The girls at the dorm had a surprise birthday party for Miss Bradley on Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 10:30 p.m. Refreshments were served, and Miss Bradley was presented a gift from the girls. Janice Korber is engaged to Stan Hightower. The dorm lost a resident last week when Judy Eleven married Al Bohlken. The girls all wish them years of happiness.

Super Sub! It's been said that the atomic submarine ''Nautilus" stays submerged so long that it only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist. Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken valuable space aboard the "Nautilus" for the only soft-drink vending machine in the entire submarine fleet. Naturally (or you wouldn't hear about it from us) it's a Coca-Cola machine. And not unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite respectable. Rugged lot, those submariners. Gl'ellt drink, Coke!

cats again hit pay dirt. This time it was Jim "the toe" Poage who split the uprights with a field goal from 27 yards out. The angle seemed almost impossible but Poage's kick was true and the score stood at 10-0 with 11 :35 left in the first half. The remainder of the first half was left scoreless. Both teams found it hard to move the ball against the onslaught of the opposing linemen. The score at the half remained Peru 10, Wayne 0. During the half, the crowd was kept enlightened by the Peru State Marching Forty. The excitement was kept alive by the presentation of the seven queen candidates for H o me c o m in g Queen of 1959.

As the second half began, this excitement quieted down to momentary sorrow and grief as star quarterback, Jim Poage, staggered off the field and collapsed on the sidelines. Wild anticipation filled the stands as the crowd waited for a report to the extent of his injuries; but no report came. The game must go on. Senior quarterback Wayne McFarland went in to call the signals.

As the fourth period began, it looked as though Peru's goal line was still not going to be crossed. This thought was· soon abandoned when Wayne State's, Lyle Blattert, intercepted a Peru pass on the Wayne 26. It was a 74 yard march, highlighted by a 29 yard run by fullback Merlin Mitteis, that set up their tally. The six points came when quarterback Doii.

Wayne made one last vain attempt to shorten the gap, but this was shut off by the alertness of Ross Pilkington as he intercepted a Wayne pass on the Wayne goal line. Wayne was the stiffest competition to face the Bobcats yet this year. A fired up Peru football team proved themselves master of such competition .

The Peru State Bobcats swept past the Midland Warriors 55-0 Saturday night at Fremont. As the case in the Bobcats' previous three victories, the Warriors did not have the speed and manpower to stay with the visitors. With Buddy Bookwalter playing one of the most brilliant games of his career, the Bobcats crushed the stout-hearted Warriors of Midland. Bookwalter, senior fullback from Lawrence, Kan., personally rolled up 215 of the 456 yards the Bobcats g a in e d on the ground. This total included a first quarter up-the-middle 69yard touchdown gallop, on the last play from scrimmage, and a 65-yard streak to the Midland 5 to end the half. His second touchdown came early in the fourth quarter on a 7-yard run around left end. Bookwalter was ably assisted by his fellow speed merchant in the backfield, Dick Place, Nebraska City halfback, who scored two touchdowns and passed for another and gained a total of 164 yards. His touchdowns were on runs of 50 and 3 yards respectively. The 50-yard scamper came early in the first quarter as he started around left end, snake-danced away from three defenders and outsprinted the rest. The second Place touchdown, in the third quarter, capped a 76-yard drive of the Bobcats which began upon the receiving of the Midland kickoff. It was a 3-yard sweep of left end, climaxing a series of eleven Bobcat plays.

ers, Bob and LaMarr, each contributed a touchdown to the Bobcat cause. Bob's came on a 57yard sprint around right end about midway in the last quarter. Not to be outdone by his brother, LaMarr scored near the end of the quarter on a 26-yard pass from another Falls Citian, quarterback Jim Poage. Peru's other touchdown came in the second quarter as Phil Peavyhouse, South Lyon, Mich., halfback, snared one of Midland's 34 passes and scampered 55 yards for the score. Midland's deepest penetration of Bobcat territory was the first time they had possession. With the ball on their own 20, Midland's fullback Ben Stindt passed out in the flat to quarterback Bill Nelson, who, in turn, passed downfield to Jim Scherer on the Peru 35. However, as it turned out, Stindt fumbled five plays later on the Bobcat 22 and Bobcat Ray Unterbrink, East Alton, Ill., lineman recovered. Midland used the air lanes 34 times in a fruitless effort to score on the Bobcats. However, with linemen like Mike Ramirez of Omaha and Cletus Shrout of Wood River, Ill., and ends LaMarr Gibsonfe'hdlpick Gerber, Fullerton, leading .. the Bobcat defensive wall, the Warriors were held to a total of 73 yards both rushing and passing.

Peru again hit through the air. This time it was the alertness· of freshman, Pat Hamm, that set up the T.D.

he figured in almost half of the tackles made by the Bobcat team against Wayne. He literal~y was all over the field. Peru has scored 13 of their 30 touchdowns via the air lanes with Jim Poage pitching five of them ... Red Oak, Iowa, comet Ross Pilkington has scored five of his 10 touchdowns on pass plays ... Bob Gibson, F a 11 s City sophomore, has been on the receiving end of three TD passes. Peru's leading N.A.I.A. rushing defense slipped a little after the Wayne State game-from a minus 4.5 yards per game to 21.2 per game. Total defense slipped from 43.8 yards to 81.4 per game. Buddy Bookwalter has punted 23 times for 1,014 yards or a 44.l average. He was leading the nation in punting with a 46.2 average going into Saturday's game against Wayne. However, a leg injury may have hurt his chances as he punted only six times for an average of 38 yards. Senior Fullback Bookwalter's total of 215 yards gained rushing against Midland College on October 10 could be a school record. However, there are no complete records to verify this fact.

Campus School Chatter By Mary Anna Gnade We DID have nice weather for Homecoming but someone left the d-0or open for the draft to blow through! High school queen Karen Mcintire and her attendants, Barbara Adams and Marcia Allgood, did have the good sense to wear warm suits (pretty too), but the poor little crown bearer Janet Wilson and flower girl Diane Coatney were so cold they were pitiful; crown bearer David Adams and bouquet boy Ricky Palmer fared a little better with long trousers and jackets; of course, football players Bill Tynon (king), Rich Reeves and Marshal Adams were warm from conquest. Recommendation for next Homecoming: either hold it during summer weather or dress the little tykes in fuzzy snowsuit type costumes. (You notice I haven't mentioned the frozen state of the majorettesred flannels would be more attractive than blue flesh!) AND the team won! Each class and some of the organizations had clever take-offs of nursery rhymes on display. Sophomores won (glad I'm not a judge to have to choose which one is better than the others). AND the team won 1 These pep rallies are fun and wear off a lot of excess energy but I always wonder if throats are going to hold out through the game itself. My three band members just HAD to be there at 7:10--not a soul around. Five minutes later everyone was there-I mean kids. A scattering of parents (like me, who had kids to haul) and a few faculty members stood around the edges. The band blew, the kids yelled,

but you should have seen spirits swell when Dr. Blanton spoke a few words of confidence in the team and the school as a whole! After the bonfire (enlivened with assorted explosions), the snake dance led by Marshal Adams wound up the rally. AND the team won! But Homecoming is over and done, to be filed away in memorjes. One last memory: the junior band members sporting older brother's and sister's uniformsdidn't look too obvious in spite of inches and inches of turn-ups and oh, the pride engendered; (proof: smart formation marching.) Mundane sch 0o1 goes on, sparked by different activities. Science Club organized for 7th to 12th graders under sponsorship of Mr. Eddy and Mr. Foss .. Senior class play started rehearsals under direction of Sue Moore .. Preliminary aptitude test for juniors and seniors, w hi ch sounds more like tests to come .... Mr. Eddy retrieved the school work sent to the State Fair, along with the monetary awards: superior work drew 40c, excellent 24c, good a mere 8c, but it's MONEY! Now the Scholastic Contest creates a lot of interest and there's more SHOW but it's this cold hard cash that makes, an impression .... Articulate students in speech class will go to Lincoln Saturday to show their proficiency in the art of discussion ... And several instrumentalists are making

ready to participate in an allstate band clinic at Grand Is.land. With all this extra-curricular activity, you wonder if school is after all made up of frills: I'll cue you in-if the mounds of books toted home and hours spent in homework mean anything, school still i n c 1u des readin', writin', and rithmetic in large quantities! Tonight (Tuesday) the football team plays at Shubert-"but we won't get home till 11 :30 or so, because the Rinky-D inks (scrubs) play, too." Doubleheader football games, yet! (After all, Homecoming isn't the only game.)

Jerry is the in of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Beck~nn of Diller. iA veteran member of the Stu~nt Senate, Blue Devils, Indusbl Arts Club, Lutheran Club, ~d Delzell Council, Jerry is a kent member of SEAN. Jerry ~joys his honorary fraternities fAlpha Mu Omega (math), EpJon Pi Tau (industrial arts), ~ppa Delta Pi (education)~be ~use of the professional atmosµere.

By Ray Meister This is the second article I have written on Dr. Gomon's trip to Russia, and I must say that it makes one feel rather envious to hear him relate the many wonderful things he saw while on his tour, while I was back here watching my textbooks. Therefore, if anyone is interested in going to Russia, Dr. Gomon has informed as to what procedures one must go through to get there, and what sort of accommodations to expect upon arrival. In the first place, it is impossible for a person just to go into Russia, merely tO visit. One must first gain permission from the Russian Embassy in the United States. When permission is granted, one must then submit an application to the Intourist Association, which happens to be the only organization in Russia that conducts tours in that country. In the application, one must state exactly what places he wishes to visit and how long he wishes to remain there. Then, upon arrival in Russia, those are the only places he may visit. Everything must be paid for in advance, and the amount paid makes a great difference in the

Grade

Dr. Gomon traveled in the $30 a day, "Regular Class." He]\e one is assured of a room with single beds if there is more than one in the room. A bathroom is also inincluded. Meals for the "Economy Class" and "Regular Class" are the same, and they are served in a specific time and place. In the $40 "DeLuxe Class," accommodations are about the same except that one ·is given coupons with which to buy his meals, and he may eat his meals at any time that he likes. Dr. Gomon's comments on the rooms were that the beds wer,e uniformly hard, the rooms were always cold and never too clean, and the bathrooms were of ancient vintage with either the stool, lavatory, or bathtub always out of order. The Russian Intourist hotels are supposedly

their best hotels, but they compare somewhat to our second class hotels. This leads one to wonder what their poor hotels are like. In Russia, the main cultural entertainment centers a r o u n d the ballet, opera, and the circus, which is somewhat like our vaudeville. While attending the ballet in Moscow, Dr. Gomon saw the Bolshoi Ballet Troupe, which happens to be the number one ballet troup in the world. In Moscow, he also saw the semi-finals of the Women's World Basketball Championship, which included mostly Russian satellite countries. Czechoslovakia defeated North Korea and Bulgaria downeQ. Hungary. Bulgaria went on to win the title. These women played according to our men's rules except that they played 18 minute halves and could only get four personal fouls instead of five. He also visited the Mausoleum in Moscow, where the bodies of Lenin and Stalin are interred. According to Dr. Gomon, thousands of people visit this place each day, and the line waiting to get in is sometimes as much as three-quarters of a mile long.

ter, Josephine, played by Marilyn Wright. Likewise, Little Buttercup, a peddler wdman, played by Joyce Carman, had fallen in love with the captain of the Pinafore. Clark Maffitt. Class pride dictated that mutual love between the couples was impossible. Captain Corcoran, had, in fact, been arranging a marriage between his daughter and the Admiral of the English Navy, Sir Joseph Porter, played by Hank Hendricks. After Sir Joseph a r r i v e d aboard the Pinafore, the plot deepened. Josephine found the Captain unbearable. She told Ralph of her love for him, and they planned to elope. Dick Deadeye, played by Dick Sietsema, told the captain of his daughter's plans. When 'the captain reported the news to Sir Joseph, he ordered Ralph to be put in irons. At that opportune moment, Little Buttercup related a secret which she had kept for years.

She had been a nursemaid of the captain and Ralph and had mixed them up when they were babies. The error was immediately corrected. The reversal in social status of Ralph and Corcoran removed Sir Joseph as a suitor for Josephine and permitted her to marry Ralph. The former captain married Buttercup, and Sir Joseph married his cousini Hebe, played by Jan Lillethorup. The male chorus played the sailors of the Pinafore. The members of the crew who did the hornpipe dance were "clapped back on the stage" by the receptive audience. The finale chorus was made up of Sir Joseph's cousins, sisters and aunts. The orchestra furnished the accompaniment for the production. The combined acting, art work, staging, choreography and music made a brilliant production. Each of the participants and directors deserve a "WELL DONE!"

THANK YOU, ORGANIZATIONS Peruvian pictures were taken by all student organ~ izations, also all officers, the afternoon of Nov.10. Shooting on a ten minute schedule, Mr. J. D. Levitt and Fred Regnier took two pictures each, every teu minutes-one of an organization and one of the organization's officers. Thanks to the cooperation of every organization, officer, and sponsor, the tight shooting sch e du 1e worked to perfection. Without such splendid cooperation, the schedule could not have worked. The Peruvian staff wishes to express its sincere appreciation to all of you for being e x a c tl y where you were supposed to be at exactly the right time. The Peruvian staff wants to express especial thanks to Mr. J. D. Levitt. Mr. Levitt is a photographer of professional skill, and he was for many years sponsor of the Peruvian. His skill, knowledge, and work will result in pictures of high quality that we would have been unable to obtain without him. So the entire staff wants to say, "Thank you very, very much, Mr. Levitt."

Bobcats Lose to Chadron

Peru State's Bobcats went down to their first defeat of the 1959 campaign in the final game of the season against the Chadron Eagles on Chadron State's Elliott Field Thursday (Nov. 12) afternoon. The 26-14 loss gave the previously unbeaten Bobcats second place behind Kearney State in the Nebraska College Conference and marked the third year that a single conference loss kept the Bobcats from top spot in the N.C.C. Originally scheduled for October 31, the game had been cancelled when road conditions made it impossible for the Bobcats to reach the Eagle's gridiron. The game was rescheduled so that the Peruvians could play the seven games required by conference rules. The game was played in three inches of snow and numbing cold which saw the mercury dip to eight degrees above zero by the end of the game. Peru's stout defense was not up to par against the powerful Eagle single wing attack as they allowed a total of 357 yards to be gained. Most of this yardage was made by the swift Eagle trio of backs, Virgil Meyer, Bertrand, who rammed for 125 yards on 10 carrie>kand Jim Schwartz, Potter, who picked up 119 yards in 20 carries. The third member, Guido

The annual Alumni-Varsity game will enable fans to get a preview of the 1959-60 edition of Bobcat basketball, which from present indications should be nearly on a par with last year's Nebraska College Conference championship team, which completed 23-5 over-all season's record. , Last year Jack Mcintire guided his cagers to their first N.C.C. title in his third year at the helm. The previous year the Bobcats were co-champs with the Hastings College Broncos and the Chadron State Eagles in a threeway tie.

By Ray Meister Monday, November 30, at 7:30 p.m., in the college auditorium, Dr. Gamon showed a group of slides that he had taken while on his tour of Russia. Dr. Gamon began his talk by pointing out, on a large map of Europe, the various cities and countries he had visited on this unofficial trip. On this Educator's Tour, he traveled approximately 12,000 miles, of which nearly 4,000 miles were in the Soviet Union. He showed some of the 600 pictures he had taken from hotel windows, bus· windows and plane windows as w_ell a~ from more conventional shooting sites. The first group of s 1i d e s showed his departure from New York City, on to Europe by way of Newfoundland and Scotland and his arrival in Hamburg, Ger~ many. After showing some shots of the beautiful Grunwald, or the Green Forest, and other scenery surrounding Hamburg, the audience traveled with Dr. Gamon, via the slide ·route, to Berlin where slides of both East and West Berlin were shown. A startling comparison of the two is that since World War II, West Berlin has been 95% rebuilt while East Berlin, the Russia~ Zone, is only 15% rebuilt. From Berlin, Dr. Gomon went to Warsaw, Poland, where one of the most interesting shots was that of the Ghetto, where 500,000 Jews were executed by the Nazis, and where thousands of their bodies still lie buried under the rubble. The next stop was Moscow a city of approximately five ~nd one-half million people. Here Dr. Gamon had taken pictures of the University of Moscow·, the Kremlin; Gum, the world's largest department store; the Bolshoi Theater, which is famo1,ls for its ballet; and other famous sights. Dr. Gomon's son David operated the projector as Dr. Gamon explained the pictures.

Bobkittens Win First Conference Game

By Tom Higgins The 1959 Peru basketball season opened in full swing November 24, as the Bobcats dumped the Alumni 78-57. A very ragged Peru. offense was paced by Chick Stessman, Omaha sophomore, and Chuck Francis, Council Bluffs, Iowa, senior with 14 and 13 points respectively. Ned Eckman, Tecumseh coach, pumped in 12 to pace the alumni. Jon Appleget, a regular on last season's squad and now coachoing at Fremont, added nine to . the Alumni total. The Bobcat's· superior height, ;;;,.., .;rebounding ability, and fast . breaking told the story. The speed 'merchants literally wore ihe Alumni to a frazzle.

The Bobcats out-shot and outfought the Indians from Creighton in a rough game on the local hardwood December 9. Playing his best game of the year, big Bob Mayo poured in 34 points to lead Bobcat scoring. Roger Witt started the scoring with three quick points, and the Bobcats moved out front to stay there for the duration of the game. At no time were the Indians a threat. · C o a ch Mcintire substituted freely throughout the game, and ten Bobcats registered in the scoring. Following Mayo in scoring, Chuck Francis made 16 points, and Jack Johnson, who saw limited service, scored 10. The Bobcats showed deadly accuracy from the free throw line, making fouling e x p e n s i v e for the Indians.

By Carolyn Parli Dr. Darrell Wininger has been chosen Peru's Man of 1the Year. A controlling factor in arriving at the fina1 decision was based on the conduct of the nominee's vocation and his service over and beyond his duty. When asked what his first reaction was toward receiving this award, Dr. Wininger replied, "Who made this mistake?" Dr. Wininger joined the Peru State faculty in 1952 as associate professor of educational psychology. He had bachelor of science and master of science degrees from Kansas State at Pittsburg, Kansas, and received his doctorate from Colorado State at Greeley in 1955. Dr. Wininger has always been a well-liked and popular instructor. His philosophy of teaching is that if any student. wants to learn and has the ability to learn, he will work until midnight with them; but any student who is in college wasting his time will get no help f r om him. Dr. Wininger has many outside interests besides teaching. He has been active in aiding the Boy Scout troop in Peru, and in 1959 directed its most successful ·fund raising campaign: He is secretary of the Peru Masonic Lodge. He is an active member of the Peru Volunteer Fire Department. Dr. Wininger has been pastor of the Bethel Communi·tY Church and sponsor of youth fellowships. Although Dr. Wininger is very busy with his many responsibilities and duties, he still has time to be with his best interests-his four boys a n d wife. Perhaps his very best accomplishment was persuading Ardith Felton of Dwight, Kansas, to marry him. They are home owners, and have a family of four sons, Darrell 7, Dennis 5, David 3, and Dwight 6 months.

The Policies Committee has approved the granting of rthese degrees to the following students who have completed or will complete the requirements in the current semester. They are recommended for the degrees by the registrar. These students will be honored at the Honors Convocation on February 3. Bachelor of Aris

The Peru Woman of the Year is Mrs. F. H. Larson, wife of Mr. F. H. Larson, registrar of the college. Ever since the Larscns moved here in 1954 from Blair, Mrs. Larson has · repeatedly served the community in many ways. She is an active member of the Faculty Women's Club and a member of Quercus Club. The Larson family are members of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Au bur fi., but Mrs. Larson's church service work does not stop there. She also serves on the Missionary Society of the Peru Baptist Church and the Women's Society of Christian Service of the Peru Methodist Church. For some time now, she has been a leader in 4-H club work and under her guidance many members have received awards. Mrs. Larson, a busy housewife, is the mother of three children: Fran, Mrs. Ron Witt of Millard; Bill, a senior at the University of Nebraska; and Marilyn, a student at the Campus School. Considering all her social and dvic activities, one can see how deserving Mrs. Larson is of this honor.

Professional Semester To Begin Fall, 1960 By Al Bohlken Eight southeast N e bras k a schools will cooperate with Peru State Teachers College beginning next fall when the professional semester in secondary education goes into effect at Peru State. In preparation for this step, eighteen representatives from the cooperating sch o o 1s were on the Peru campus during the first week in December, 1959. Under the professional semester, students in secondary education will devote six weeks to student teaching exclusively. The remainder of the semester will be devoted to course work in preparation for the professional experience and an evaluation of the student teaching. The s c ho o 1 representatives were briefed on the plans for .the professional semester. Under the plan, it will be possible for students in secondary education to be given student teaching assignments in cooperating schools for a six week period. The increased enrollment at Peru State has made it necessary ,to provide for student teaching in area schools in addition to the C am p u s School. "The schools attending the meeting to Chiscuss the professional semester were very enthusiastic about the prospec.t of having student teachers in their schools. They were unanimous in their support of the plan as a forward step in the improvement of Teacher Education," commented Dr. Keith L. Melvin, dean of the college. Falls City, Auburn, Johnson, Tecumseh, Syracuse, Nebraska City, Plattsmouth, and Bellevue, Auburn, 1Johnson, and Nebraska City now have student teachers from Peru .State in their schools.

Representative George Kasem of California has proposed a legislative bill, H.R. 386, which would authorize a committee to investigate the problems involved in establishing a floating university. The university would visit ports in various parts of the world. The mode of travel for this university would be U nit e d States naval ships converted to the needs of an educational institution. Students and faculty will be chosen from cooperating colleges and universities, largely on the basis of their demonstrated interest in the program. Faculty and students will go abroad for a prescribed period of time such as a semest.er or a year. All students and: faculty who approve of this proposed plan should write their Congressman by January 25, 1960.

By Carol Ellenberger Hawaii and Its People by A. Graves Day, gives the history of the Hawaiian Islands from the time they were first sighted by an unknown Polynesian until the present time.

Through authentic narrative, Professor Day shows the life of the people of Hawaii through the different eras. Beyond My Worth by Lillian Roth, author of I'll Cry Tomorrow, is written in frankness and honesty just as her other best seller was. In it she describes her struggle back to the night club circuit. She also tells of her desire to become a serious actress and her never-ending search for religious understanding. It is an inspiring book about a woman who has searched for happiness and peace within herself.

Bulldogs Scare Bobcats As 'Cats Win 82-76 Fray A still shaky Peru basketball team eked out an 82-76 victory over the Concordia Bulldogs January 9. The victory boosted the Bobcat's record to 3-1. A late rally put on by the bulldog's Jim Jurgensen (6'5" center) and Roger Schmidt (guard) kept Concordia's hopes alive. The accurate eyes of Charles Francis and Bob Mayo, however, were just as sharp. Jim Jurgensen was the big gun for the losers with 20 points, followed by Roger Schmidt's 18. Francis and Mayo shared. hon-

ors for the Bobcats with 25 points each. The Bobcats outshot the Bulldogs 29 to 26 from the field, but could onLy stay even with 25 apiece from the line. Peru's next home game will be Jan. 23 with Doane college. The Bobcats managed to squeeze by the Tigers at Crete by only three points. With this ever present struggle existing in the .conference th i s year the game could go either way, but the odds favor the Peru five.

Kentucky Teams Peru Prep Rolls Over Undefeated Tigers Defeat Bobcats Peru Prep rolled to their sev- In NAIA Meet enth straight win Friday, January 8, as they defeated .the Table Rock Tigers 38-30. Peru was in the lead for the complete game but the Table Rock team gave them a close scoring battle. Marshall Adams and Pat Morris led the Prep team in scoring with 15 and 8 points respectively. J.

Bobkittens Maul Nemaha Indians 77-22 Peru Prep had an easy time in winning their eighth straight game Tuesday, Jan. 12, as they defeated the Nemaha Indians, 77-22. Peru was ahead by nine points at the end of the first quarter and kept building up the margin. Marshall Adams set what is probably a new school record as he scored 42 points for the Bobkittens.

Peru State's Bobcats were handed a pair of defeats in their second year at the N.A.I.A. Tip Off Tournament in Nashville, Tennessee. Both losses came at the hands of Kentucky teams, Villa Madonna and Pikeville College. Peru played Villa Madonna in the first round as they did the previous year, when they were beaten by one point.

Villa Madonna went on to the final round where th e y were beaten by defending champions Tennessee A. & I. An overtime period was· needed in the second game to decide the winner. The score was tied at 76-all at the end of the regulation time, but Pikeville outscored .the Mcintiremen by 8 to 6 in the extra period, winning 84 to 82. Bob Mayo poured in 29 points while Chuck Francis and Mike Roach each had 19 markers. The Bobcats were outscored in field goals but shot an amazing 18 out of 21 from the free throw line. High scorer for the Nemaha Indians was G. Moore who made 8. He was closely followed by W. Boden and E. Smith with 5 each. The Peru volley ball team did not have as much luck. The Nemaha volley ball girls beat the Peru girls in two straight sets.

Before coming to Peru, Miss Bradley taught and counseled! at Stephens College, in Columbia, Missouri. Miss Bradley is a native of Warrensburg, Missouri. She is very interested in public school music and has an undergraduate major in music. Her favorite pastime is reading history. Miss Bradley's eagerness to help others is a quality admired by many.

. Individual storage cabinets for each room were purchased as well as the necessary science supplies. A mid-year evaluation was made, and the consensus of opinion seems to be that the program is working out well.

New L A. Building To Be Named For A. V. Larson By Carol Ellenberger "The new Industrial Arts building will provide a facility which will lend much to the development and training of industrial arts teachers. Designed specifically for teacher education, the shops and laboratory areas will incorporate the latest developments in industrial and mechanical arts education. "Because of his long association with the college and his contributions to education for over four decades, it is particularly appropriate that this building should be named· for A. V.

A Dream Come True The new Industrial Arts build. ing which will include classrooms, an arts and crafts laborat<>ry, an electricity and electronics laboratory, a drafting room, a photography and blue-print laboratory, a suite of offices for !l'taff members, and project supand storage rooms is a dream «ime true for Mr. Larson as well the others who have recog$1.ized the need and worked long mid hard for the new building. Mr. Larson's words, "I've been forward to this for a time, especially the 1 a s t five years." •tore his retirement, Mr. Lara great deal to do with the initial plans for the

building which was to be located on a different site. Although some changes had: to be made and some features were revised, the building will be a highly useful and up-to-date addition to the campus. Children Educated Here Mr. and Mrs. Larson are parents of three. children and have seven grandchildren. All of their children graduated from the Peru schools and received their degrees from the college. Frank, who is director of chemical lab· at th e Umvers1 · 'ty Hosora t ones pital at the University of Wisconsin studied at the University of Nebraska. Their eldest daughter, now the Mrs. Joseph Seiger, received her Masters from Columbia and now teaches in Greatneck, Long Island. M rs.

Construction of a new Campus School was given top priority on physical facilities needs of Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru by Dr. Leonard Walsh of the Colorado State College Educational Planning S er vi c e of Greeley, in a report submitted to the Board of Education of State Normal Schools last week-end. The report culminates a twoyear study of facilities needs of the four State Teachers Colleges at Peru, Chadron, Kearney and Wayne. In this report, Dr. Walsh indicated the critical needs of the four colleges could be met during the next ten years, assuming income from the state-wide buildring fund levy would continue at the present rate of income. Currently, the Board receives approximately $850,000 a year from the fund. Priority of buildings for all four schools was recommended by Dr. Walsh. The Board will consider the recommendations and take action on establishing building priorities at the next meeting of the Board on Feb. 24. The presidents of the four colleges were instructed to prepare site plans for proposed n e w /buildings and make recommend,ations for necessary acquisition of property to implement the building program. Priority listings for Peru include purchase of necessary additional property immediately, construction of a new campus school in 1963, remodel the pres-

ent campus school to serve the needs for bask classroom areas, staff offices, homemaking, business education, art and speech in 1964, remodel the administration building to accommodate required administrative functions, leaving a classroom or two available in the building for general academic use and remodel the library to provide additional stack space and reclaim presently-used art and· speech classroom space for library functions in 1965. Extensive reconstruction of the library is not recommended, since eventually the entire building must be replaced. Final project under the current program would be construction of a fine arts building in 1968.

Monday evening, February 1, the Beta Mu Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi held their election for delegates for the 1960 Biennial Convocation of Kappa Delta Pi to be held at Chicago.

After the business meeting, Mr. Johnson spoke to the group about the job of the Placement Bureau. He exlained that the purpose of the Placement Bureau was not to find a person a job, but to bring prospective employer and employee together. He mentioned that schools a 11 over the United States and some from other countries are interested in Peru graduates. At the end of his speech, he allowed time for questions from the students.

ONE THOUSAND PLUS IN 1970 Dr. Leonard C. Walsh, director of a survey team studying the potentialities of state teachers colleges, reports that his team thinks Peru will have 742 students in ten years. Now we don't know anything about statistics-and our banker probably has his doubts about our ability to add-but we think Dr. Walsh and his survey team are probably wrong. We think that Peru can and will have more than a thousand students in 1970.

In ten years, Peru will certainly have an enrollment of more than a thousand if this student body, this faculty, and this community exert some effort to attract students to Nebraska's oldest and finest college. We know they will. Peru has a fighting spirit that wouldn't show on a statistical report but is a tremendous asset. At a time when Pe~u had an enrollment of less than five hundred, Al Wheeler s Bobcats beat football teams of Warrensburg, Missouri, and Greeley, Colorado, both schools boasting enrol~m~nts running into the thousands.· Last year, Jack Mcintire s basketball team won the Nebraska Collegiate Conference title although many of the defeated teams represented scho?l~ far larger than Peru. All of us are justly proud .of the spmt and the achievement of Bobcat teams, and we believe that the student body, the faculty, and the community have at . least some of the spirit that sparks Bobcat teams to victory against great odds. Finally, Peru has another great asset that would hardly show on a statistical report. Peru is under capable, competent, progressive, and aggressive leadership. Largely because of the untiring efforts of President Neal S. Gomon, four buildings are going up now. There will be a new Camp~s School going up in '64. Improvemen~s yet undrearrl:ed of will be realities by 1970. Dr. Gomon is dom~ m?re t~an. Just working hard at his job. He is literally dedicatmg hrs hfe to making a good school great. Peruvians, let's make it one thousand plus in 1970.

Library Shorts By Darlene Critel Ben Hur, written by Lew Wallace is an excellent book about a y~ung Jewish boy who lived during the time of Christ. He had lost his inheritance along w i t h his mother and sister because of Roman tyranny. This is a story of his re-instatement to his original position in life as well as his search for hi1> mother and sister. He leans toward C h r i s t i a n thoughts and when he witnesses the Crucifixion he b e c o m e S· a changed man. There are catacombs in Jerusalem today that he is said to have founded. Exodus has a double meaning in this book. It is a ship w h i ch was reclaimed and readied to take 300 Jewish orphans from the island of Cyprus to their homeland, Israel. It is also a symbol of the Jewish effort to carv~ a place of their own after having been ousted from different countries all over the world. T h e y came by ship, air, an<l horseback

to this new land. This is a touching story of the Jewish people's struggles. Exodus was written by Leon Uris. Entry, by Richard Frede, transcends the usual category of "college novels." It probes deeply and dramatically into a genuine human conflict that characterizes, but also extends beyond, the new college generation. Mr. Frede's protagonist, Ed Bogard, is like many of this generation.content to settle for security and conformity. Then, one dramatic week-end Bogard encounters a situation in which it is impossible to play it safe. This weekend is filled with football, girls, liquor, and excitement. When Bogard learns that down the hall a girl from New York is about to be victimized by a group of his entry mates, he tries futilely to interest other students in helping him. What he can't do is break the code and summon the authorities. In addition to adding new books to the stacks, the library has recently added about $11,000

Delzell Doings By Gary Brown· Baseball practice has started already for pitchers and catchers. As a result of this, many prospective baseball candidates have been complaining of sore muscles and bruises. Ken Dostal has recently revolutionized the dorm with his in-, vention of the triple decker bed. This idea is beginning to take over as many others are following suit. This all goes to show one thing, Ken isn't afraid of high places. I guess he's accustomed to the altitude. On a recent tour of the dorm, I received the following comments on dorm life: Chuck Francis "Its a rough life," H a r o 1 d Barnhart "What, me worry?" Jerry Littell "When in doubt, pull out," Bill Bliss "Dorm life is wonderful, marvelous, and colorful." Who's Bill Bliss?? David Fulton "Too quiet." Willie Jensen, "Too darn much noise." Jack Johnson, "Just don't get caught." Steve Bates and Larry Randolph "There should be a coed element introduced in the dorm." Snowball throwing has become the major sport of the boy's dorm because of the changing temperature and melting snow.

Enrollment Drops For Second Semester A new semester began on January 26, and with it came the usual fluctuation of the enrollment at Peru State Teachers College. A quick look shows us that although the number of full time students has dropped considerably from the first semester, we are still ahead of the recorded enrollment at this same time last year. The spring term of 1959 showed a total full time enrollment of 502 students. There were 166 freshmen. The fall term this year increased this by 50 students and in<:reased the freshman enrollment from 166 to 186. The 1960 spring enrollment has again taken a dip and at present

Wininger Presented ~~outstanding Community Service Award" By Morris Keyt Dr. Darrell Wininger was given a gold plaque for "outstanding community service" by the Peru Kiwanis Club, Tuesday evening, Jan. 12, at the regular Kiwanis meeting. Daryl Manring, chairman of the committee which chose the outstanding community worker, presented the plaque to Dr. Wininger. Upon receiving the honor, Dr. Wininger commented, "In all probability my father should receive this. He taught me that, if you live in a town, leave it better than you found it; and, if you believe in the purposes of an organization, join and work to help achieve those ideals." Dr. Wininger nas done several things to merit recognition as an outstanding citizen. He helped

organize the Kiwanis dent a 1 clinic and worked on the summer recreation project. He was instrumental in getting Peru's side streets paved. Peru's associate professor of educational psychology is also president of the Chamber of Commerce. He played a leading role in forming the Rural Fire District. The Kiwanis award is the second honor Dr. Wininger has received this year. He was previously named Peru's Man of the Year. The "outstanding service" honor came as a surprise to Dr. Wininger. He was invited to the meeting, ostensibly to take charge of the meeting's program, although he is not a Kiwanis member.

The booklets are "Facts ·About Peru State," "Prepare for a Proud Profession at· Peru," and w i n t e r issue of "The Peru Stater." The booklet "Facts About Peru State" contains basic information about the college and its program. It is designed to acquaint you with the services offered by Peru State College. "Prepare for a Proud Profession at Peru," describes briefly the field of specialization in education in hopes that it will help students choose a career. It mentions the new "block system" of student teaching which gives the student an opportunity to devote his full time, during a given period, to the assignment of student teaching. Peru is one of the first colleges to inaugurate a "block

system" of student teaching in both elementary and secondary fields. Pictures of the four new structures-the new S t u d e n t Center, addition to Eliza Morgan Hall, new boy's dorm, and new Industrial Arts Building-are also shown in the booklet. The "Peru Stater" is published and distributed three times yearly to alumni and former students of Peru State College. It contains such articles as Dr. Neal Gomon's Tour to Russia, sports at Peru State, and the 1959 Homecoming. The fall issue of the "Peru Stater" and Peru State's 1959 football publicity booklet received awards at the fall district meeting of the American College Public Relations Associ- ' ation and the American Alumni Council in Wichita. The "Peru Stater" tied with ·alumni publications from the University of Oklahoma and Kansas S tat e Teachers College.

Ian Wheeler To ·epresent Kappa Delta Pi In Chicago

The Veterans' Club provided an evening of entertainment Wednesday, February 17, at the Campus School Auditorium. The club presented, "Bend in the River," featuring James Stewart, Rock Hudson, and Julie Adams. The Veterans termed it a successful venture because about 80 students came and viewed the film. A small door charge was taken to cover costs. A similar attempt was made last year, however, it did not meet the success it had this year.

Angels Initiate Twenty At Tea The annual White Angel tea was held February 15, at 6:00 p.m., in the recreation room. This year the girls decided to have an informal party. The White Angel Pledges entertained the group with a skit. Refreshments were served later. The purpose of this party is to initiate the pledges and have them sign the traditional White Angel Pledge. The new members are: Judy Adams Carol Ellenberger Connie Erisman Karen Fankhauser Beverly Farmer Marilynn Giesmann Carol Glather Rita Grandgenett Barbara Hill Ellen Hunzeker Kaye Jacobson Clara Kelly Mary Ann Lewellyn Julie Mayer Carol McLain Kay Parli Phyllis Peters Kathleen Streich Lola Triska Barbara Wellensiek Sandy Pearson Romona Bock

By Leroy Keyt

Dr. Neal S. Gomon was in Chicago, February 9 and 10, attending sessions of the President's Advisory Committee of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The advisory committee is a 35-man group appointed by the NAIA executive board to assist in development of policy for the national organization which has a membership of 475 small and medium sized colleges in the United States. The Peru president also attended sessions of the American Association of School Administrators in Atlantic City, New Jersey, February 14-18. More than 20,000 administrators from across the nation were in attendance at the meeting. Enroute home from Atlantic City, President Gomon visited placement offices at Columbia University, City College of New York, and New York University examining. credentials of candidates for possible vacancies on the college staff.

William Worthy, noted news correspondent, gave his views on good reporting and explained parts of his convocation speech in an interview following the February 17 assembly. The convocation speaker feels that the top reporter must have a strong curiosity, "a temperament that enables one to ignore the clock, especially in foreign countries," and a good education. What are the educational prerequisites to becoming a crack reporter? In Mr. Worthy's opinion, top itents on the list are: a good liberal arts background, plenty of history, a detailed knowledge of the area to which the reporter is assigned, and a "broad kcllwle~ge of current events." ·• Mr. Worthy feels that his most important s in g 1 e assignment, from a personal standpoint, was the five · he spent in the Soviet Uri in 1955. He believes that it aided his intellectual development, since it gave him his first substantial introduction to life in a totalitarian state. Peru's guest said that he entered reporting because he likes to write and, "It gives you a good box-seat on the world." Mr. Worthy declared that "China Today" would have been a better title for his talk than "My Trip to Red China," since he "up-dated" much of the material in his speech. The guest speaker reiterated the reason why he had stressed the good points of Red China in his discourse. "Most people hear and read only the bad points about China." Why don't Americans get the full news about Communist countries? According to Mr. Worthy, "The American press has played footsy with the Federal government in not favoring recognition of Red China." He further believes that the press has censored the worthwhile accomplishments of the Chinese Reds. Mr. Worthy declared, "Some people may have been shocked at some of my statements, but they were true. Too often we act as if 'ignorance is strength'."

Different Phases of Dancing Offered Mrs. Frances Wheeler, director of women's physical education, is conducting two dance classes this semes,ter. Folk dancing, a class for both men and women, takes up the folk dances of other countries as well as some social dancing, just as the square and social dance class did the first semester. Folk dancing, · Mrs. Wheeler believes, developes coordination and poise, and broadens dancing abilities and appreciation of folk lore. In connection with her folk dancing class, Mrs. Wheeler said that it appears men are becoming more interested in dancing, and have realized that dancing is not a sissified thing. Proof of this could be that the men outnumber the women in the class. Her other dancing class is modern dance . . . Mrs. Wheeler

said that nowadays mo d er n dance fa often confused with social dance and many experts believe that contemporary dance is a better name for it. Modern dance has changed over the years. A generation ago lt was just very light and pretty dancing; now it is more developed and has strength and character shown in more exaggerated and interpretive movement. Any movement that is suitable for expression may be used.

Convo Pep Rally Held Before Wesleyan Game

"House Party," and the "News Report." The following girls took part in 'the skit: Karen Fankhauser, Connie Erisman, Carol McLain, Julie Mayer, Rae Mae Henry, Mary Ann Lewellyn, Lola Triska, Kathy Streich, Ellen Hunzeker, Phyllis Peters, Clara Kelly, Marilynn Giesmann, B a r b a r a Hill, Judy Adams, Sandra Pe,arson, Rita Grandgenett, Beverly Farmer, Carol Ellenberger, Carol Glathar, Kaye Jacobson, Kay Parli, Barbara Wellensiek, and Ramona Bock. During the "It Could Be You" portion of the skit, Coach Jack Mcintire was called to the stage. The rally was ended with more yells and the school color song.

A special all-college Convocation was held on Wednesday, February 16, 1960. The purpose of the Convo was the presentation of a pep rally for the Wesleyan basketball game. The cheerleaders led the st u de n t body in several yells. A skit was presented as part of the initiation of the White Angel pledges. The skit took the form of satires of scenes from such popular television and radio shows as: "This Is Your Life, Peru State," "Zorro," "Man on the Street," "Red Skelton," "It Could Be You," "Weather Girl,"

Mrs. Wheeler said that through modern dance a girl can gain poise and gracefulness that will carry over into later life. At present the girls are learning the techniques and are building a "vocabulary of movements." Later the girls win create dances improvising their own movements.

Advice and Consent is a book written by Allen Drury. This is an extraordinary novel of politics and politicians. Allen Drul'y has penetrated the world's stormiest p0litical battleground-the smoke-filled committee rooms of the United States Senate. Here he has probed with fascinating detail, into the minds and motives of the statesmen, the opportunists, and the old-fashioned idealists of present-day Washington. He shows their public and private "faces," iheir driving ambitions, their vanities, their hopes, and their fears. The book is set against the ominous background of steadily mounting crisis with Russia. Advice and Consent is far more than a timely eye-witness chronicle of our American leaders. It is a remarkable human document which places man's weakness and nobility under the same r e 1 e n t 1 e s s but compassionate scruting. The book is hailed by one enthusiastic reader as "a Washington novel worthy of the name and the city." Advice and Consent is one of the most exciting and authentic American political novels ever written. The author is a man who is an experienced and astute reporter as well as a profoundly skillful writer. Alan Walker's central theme in A New Mind for a New Age is that in this new age it is the totaliiy of Christian discipleship which will alone be sufficient. In our urbanized and massproduced society is Christianity still relevant? Alan Walker's answer is an emphatic yes. "What the present time not only needs but demands," he says, "is the total gospel brought to bear on the totality of life~a Christianity in which personal and social witness go forward side by side." In this book, Mr. Walker is concerned with individuals-h ow one as a Christian can come to terms with such aspects of ,contemporary life as urban living and its consequent rootlessness and loneliness, the problem of race, and the challenge of spaceage science. A New Mind for a New Age will speak to all who would find in Christianity not a retreat from life, but a call to involvement in it. The Final Diagnosis is written by Arthur Hailey. At the heart of this great medical novel is Dr. Kent O'Donnell's struggle to pull his declining hospital back to its former standards. O'Donnell's greatest pro~lem lay in the power wielded by the aging, once brilliant pathologist, Joe Pearson. Proud, unwilling to acknowledge his failure to keep up with modern methods, Pearson ruled his staff and the tight-fisted hospital board of directors with absolute tyranny. One faulty' diagnosis, one irrevocable error in j u d gm en t brought on the final tragedy. The passionate romance between a beautiful student nurse and an ambitious staff doctor has a share in the tragedy. So does the accomplished, arrogant David Coleman-whose obsession with perfection and order has blinded him to the needs of other "less perfect" human beings. Seldom have the complex workings of a great hospital-its intrigue, its heartbreak, its triumphs-been more dramatically revealed than in The Final Diagnosis. The author explores a world the patient never sees.

Bobcats Defeat Wesleyan 69-67 The Bobcats, trying to stay in the race for the NCC championship, defeated Wesleyan Tuesday, February 16, 69-67. The Bobcats were having their share of troubles the first half and at half-time were down 8 points, 36-28. In the second half the Bobcats caught fire and went on a scoring spree that boosted them into the lead. The margin of the game was decided on the free throw shooting of the Bobcats.

Mike s an k one of two charity tosses to put Peru into the lead. With just one second remaining Drexel Harvey was fouled and he added the other free throw to ice the game for Peru. Balanced Performance The complete Peru sq u a d played a bang-up ball game and kept Wesleyan on the.move. Bob Mayo was tough under the boards, and Roach, Harvey, Yopp and Stessman kept firing in baskets from the outside. Chu ck Francis did a remarkable job in stopping Rudy Stoehr. This is the first time that Peru has defeated Wesleyan since December of 1958.

The Peru Prep Bobkittens defeated a strong Avoca club Tuesday, February 16, by the score of 60-52. Assistant coach Joe Verbeck said that the Prep team played one of their best games in defeating Avoca. Both teams showed a lot of hustle for the first three quarters, but the Bobkittens went into a semi-stall in the fourth quarter to preserve their victory.

Leading the Bobcats in the scoring department were Drexel Harvey with 22 points, Bob Mayo with 18, Chuck Francis with 17, and Bob Buettgenbaugh with 16. High for the Bulldogs was Etzler with 25, points. Dieckhoff had 15 to help· out the Concordia cause.

Gary Scoggin has ·finally revealed to the press that he is engaged to Miss Donna Darwin, a registered nurse from Lit t 1 e Rock, Arkansas. Donna is pres" ently residing in Beatrice while working at the Lutheran Hospital in that 'city. John Ahl is engaged to Miss Janet Albert, who is presently employed in the Omaha National Bank. John and Janet will exchange vows on August 26 of this year. Diets have become the up and coming thing in Delzell the past two weeks. In case anyone is considering undertaking a diet, the following suggestions were given by the men of Delzell: Chuck Francis, "The best way to lose weight-don't eat"; Larry Rae, "Just sleep late in the mornings and miss breakfast"; Glenn Irwin, "Physical exercise and invigorating food to maintain shape for boxing"; Dick Kunde, "Less solid food and absolutely no liquid refreshment"; Tom Higgins, "An idea for losing 10 pounds of ugly weight is to cut off your head"; George Riege, "Reverse mitosis"; Bill Bliss, "Dieting as prescribed by Coach Wheeler." Dennis Hilfiker has been taking week-end jaunts to Slenderella; Ken Humphrey , "Track diet (large breakfast, small lunch, small dinner, no inbetween-meal snacks) and many exciting week-ends in Bellevue." Remember the old saying: "You can't have your cake and eat it too." I ask you this: "What good is your cake if you can't eat it?"

Marterie and His Marlboro Men Will Be On Campus

Ralph Marterie and his Marlboro Men, the swinging orchestra with more record hits than any other band, is coming to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks. Marterie's c amp us-acclaimed band was voted tops in a popularity poll conducted by Downbeat magazine. In recent years,. Marterie believes there has been a big change among the youth and college crowds. "They used to 路 dance only to slow tunes. When we'd play a jump number, they'd crowd around us and go wild listening. Now, though, they stay . out on the floor when we pick up the tempo. That's the way we

like it because we know they're having more fun." Some of Mr. Marterie's Mercury records which have sold over a million copies are: Pretend, Crazy, Man Crazy, Blue Mirage, Shish-Kabob, Skokiaan, Caravan, Tricky, and Compulsion.

So shine up your dancing shoes and oil your kneecaps, for the coolest, swingiest band in the land is coming your way. A swinging band, a swinging evening for all students will be an event in April. The exact date is not set at the present.

Maryon Adams Writes "Kindergarten Guide"

I.A. Club and Epsilon Pi Tau To Go to Kansas City, Mo.

"Kindergarten Guide," compiled by Maryon L. Adams, kindergarten supervisor and assistant professor of education at Peru State Teachers College, has been published by the Special Services Press at Peru State.

The Peru Industrial Arts Club and Epsilon Pi Tau, the honorary industrial arts fraternity, will be visiting Kansas City, Missouri, April 7th and 8th. They are to be accompanied by Mr. Jarvis, Dr. Harlan, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Traylor on their trip.

Prep To Present Mystery-Farce

LIBRARY SHORTS By Darlene Criiel \

The Celestina is a dialogue novel translated from Spanish by Lesley Byrd Simpson. This book is remarkable for its originality, depth, handling of dialogue, and its drawing of character. Celestina is one of the great creations of ·an literature and has a secure place beside her two compatri9ts, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. In the book, Calisto, a humorless and halfmad egotist, tries to seduce Melibea, the 1ove1 y daughter of the noble Pleberio. Calisto is frantic because of her rejection which he takes as an intolerable affront to his "honor." Sempronio solicits the aid of an ancient procuress, Celestina, "a witch, astute and wise in all evil things." . From the moment Celestina appears, she dominates the story. Her pagan delight in the pleasures of the flesh, and her surehanded manipulation of her puppets make her one, of the great figures of all time. With all her wickedness, we can hardly help admiring the old witch. The author of this Spanish classic is unknown although the book is usually attributed to Fernando de Rojas. A Man Teliteet Tall is the sto\> of Adam Regan. Adam's heart went out to his mother, but she gave her heart to his brother. His father, though ·illiterate was intelligent and steady. · Adam's father knew · how badly the Ozark people needed a good doctor. His .sawmill business was not prosperous, but he made sacrifices and contributed a few dollars to Adam's medical training. As an interne, Adam silently vowed to tum his skill to the service of his people in the Ozarks. Other internes talked about the professional and financial advantages of a city practice. In the hospital he was drawn to a clever and attractive nurse. For years he had ·sternly denied his natural human cravings for fun, companionship, and love because of his drive to master medicine. The sweep ·of this fine novel· carries the reader from the turbulent twenties to the battlefields of World War II and into the operating rooms of big city hospitals, hill shacks, London Red Cross shelters, and the tents . oi field hospitals in a war-tomland. It pits brother against brother as sworn enemies and drives · a

Many controversial issues were discussed such as membership problems, problems of alumni chapters, current issues in education and the issue of recognition for excellent teaching. In these groups no definite answers were decided, but the students realized there are many problems in the profession of education. Friday night the convocation banquet was held. The speaker was Robert J. Havighurst of the University of Chicago. He discussed "American Higher Education in the 1960's." Saturday all business and committee reports were finished and theÂˇ convocation adjourned at 2 o'clock. There were students attending the convocation from all over the United States.

Jobs Plentiful Pay Is Good As commencement time draws near, the graduating senior asks, "What are my chances of getting a good teaching position with good pay?" According to Mr. Harold Johnson of the Placement Bureau, teaching positions and pay are better than ever. The average salary for men ranges fro m $4,100-$4,300, with no experience; while the women's salary ranges from $3,900-$4,200, with no experience. The demand for men is great in the fields of science (chemistry and physics), mathematics, band, coaching, and the upper elementary fields. The demand for women is concentrated in the fields of physical education, home economics, lower elementary, and in vocal music. The fields of English, speech, foreign language, and commercial (with shorthand) are open to both men and women.

A S'.[iEP. FORWARD For the first time, the Peru student. body will have the pleasure of dancing to a name band. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Student Senate, the sponsors, and Dr. Gomon, we are going to have Ralph Marterie and his Marlboro Men to play for the Spring Formal. . To help promote this event, Dr. Gomon is providing the Student Sen.ate with additional funds. We feel this is a great step forward in the progress of Peru State. This is our opportunity to support our school, and make this "extra-special" event a huge success. This will insure that activities of this type will appear on the Peru Calendar in the future. Let's all take this opportunity to back the Student Senate in their efforts to improve our college. See you at the Spring Formal on April 19. -Rosie Rottman and Donna Francis

Demolition of Mt. Vernon Hall will require closing of the front ,entrance of the ·cafeteria for si~ to eight weeks. A temporary entrance to the cafeteria has been provided at the west end of the building. Residents of Morgan Hall will use the southwest exit of Morgan and cross the drive behind Morgan Hall to. the temporary cafeteria entrance. All other persons will need to walk around Morgan Hall on temporary walkways to the new entrance to the cafeteria. $900,000 Project Completed

The letting of contracts for the Student Union and the south wing of Morgan Hall completes a $900,000 project for· increasing and improving housing facilities on the campus. Now under construction and to be ready for occupancy June 1 are the west addition to Morgan Hall and the new 90-man A. D. Majors residence hall. This dormitory will increase capacity for men from 145 to 235. Parking Important

Because of the building activity on the campus, special care will be taken to see that there is no car parking except in designated parking areas. Newly completed parking areas on the perimeter of the campus provide ample space for all cars which must be on or near the campus. All student cars are supposed to be registered with the dean or associate dean of students. If such cars are improperly parked they will be tagged and fines collected through the b1isinE!ss office. For unregistered cars, either city or county law. enforc~ ment officers will be called to tag or tow away cars which are improperly parked or parked in such a way as to hamper traffic.

Statistic! The other day our vice president in diarge of good news announced that someone, somewhere, enjoys Coke 58 million times a day. You can look at this 2 ways: Either we've got an in~redibly thirsty individual on our hands. Or Coca-Cola is the best-loved sparkling drink in the world. We lean to the latter interpretation.

The girls have been busy signing up for rooms for this summer and for next year. Sounds as if there is going to be a large enrollment for the summer session. There were only two birthdays these last few weeks-Sharon Haile and Saint Patrick. Kathy Streich is planning on moving to Plattsmouth to do her student te'aching for the next nine weeks. The editor took a poll on what the girls thought of letting the boys take a short cut through the girls' dorm to get to the cafeteria. Here are several comments made by the girls. "Too mucli favoritism for first floor."

"Oh, some of the idiots would get lost!" "Sounds great!" "Can I put up a toll gate?" "Das ist eine dumm Frage." "Do we get a warning?" "Eeeek!" "Let 'em come, man." "Uhhhhh-no comment." "Gee, I always did think that this college was coeducational."

Eight Mclntiremen Awarded Letters

Mayo. All Conference For Second Year

Lld

iat

Bob Mayo, Peru State's 6'8" center, has been chosen on the All Nebraska College Conference basketball team. This is the second consecutive year that Mayo has been selected for this honor. Both the Omaha World-Herald and the Lincoln Star chose the towering pivot on this team that features the best basketball players in the N.C.C. After transferring from the University of Nebraska, Mayo gave a good account of himself on the Peru maples. He has led the Bobcats in scoring and rebounding for the past two sea-

sons and has rated high in the N.C.C. standings in both departments. He accomplished all this even though he was heavily guarded and received more punishment than any other center in the conference. Bob also features one of the best outside shots for a big man and is a mainstay on defense.

Mcintire Heads NAIA Coaches' Association

Weather" Biggest Problem Facing Baseball Squad

Head basketball coach, Jack Mcintire, was elected president of the NAIA Coaches' Association at their annual meeting in Kansas City. Since coming to 1 Peru State in 1956, Coach Mcintire and his Bobcats have. won one conference championship and tied for another. This was not the first honor bestowed upon Mcintire by the NAIA. In 1957, he was named by the NAIA to the Helms Athletic Hall of Fame, Los Angeles. When asked about the honor of being elected as president of the NAIA coaches, Jack remarked that it is a great honor to be of service to the other coaches and that he is very proud to act as their president.

With eleven returning lettermen to bolster the 1960 baseball squad, the outlook is bright. Coach Al Wheeler has experienced men at every position except center field. The Bobcats open their season April 1, with a home double-header a g a inst Concordia. If the weather will improve so that the team can get outside, the players will get a chance to see what they can do. So far, practice has had to be held in the basement of the gym, and this has not given Coach AI a good chance to see what he has in the way of power hitters. Right now, the worst thing that is facing the ball club is the weather.

Mayo is a senior and plans on a teaching career after graduation. His major is speech. Chuck Francis and Mike Roach both received honorable mention on the all N.C.C. team. 11

McINTIRE'S GARAGE

Eight members of the 1959-60 cage machine at Peru St ate Teachers College have b e en awarded letters, Coach Jack McIntire has announced. The Bobcats worked their way to a 14-4 ·conference record to place second in the topsy-~urvy Nebraska College Conference, behind a tie for first between Wayne State and Nebraska Wesleyan. The over-all season record for the Bobcats was 19 wins against 7 losses. For the third consecutive year, the Mcintire-guided cagers won the Four-State Tournament at Falls City. The season saw the Bobcats score 2,0·53 points against their opponents' 1,751. During the season a new school scoring record was established in the 118-58 win o v er Doane College, erasing the 11074 record set against Kearney State in 1958-59. Of the eight 1959-60 lettermen, only two will be lost through graduation. They are the season's top scorers, 'Bob Mayo; Brooklyn, N. Y., and Chuck Francis, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mayo, who earned his second letter, scored a 19.7 point average for the season, while Francis, a four-year letterman, scored an average of 14.1. The letter-winners, total number of cage monograms earned, and home town: Charles Francis, 4, Council Bluffs, Iowa; Bob Mayo, 2, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Chick Stessman, 2, Omaha; Mike Roach, 2, Palmyra; Tom Yopp, 1, Wood River, Ill.; Drexel Harvey, 1, Hartford, Ill.; Bob Buettgenbach, 1, Beatrice; Larry Rathe, 1, Sterling.

First Track Meet To Be April 13 Coach Stemper's track squad finds the adverse weather quite a hindrance to practice, but conditioning runs heavy in the gymnasium. The squad is preparing for the first college meet against Washburn College April 13 on the home track. The Bobcats have a seven . meet schedule.

Dawson-Verdon Wins Volley Ball Tournament By Wally West The Dawson-Verdon girls won the 1960 Peru Invitational Volley Ball tournament, defeating Prague 2-0 in the championship game Wednesday morning. Third place was won by· Sacred Heart of Falls City as they defeated Tobias 2-0. There were 39 teams entered in the tournament but s e v e n were forced out by the icy roads and deep snow. The t~am from Dix came the longest distance as they had to travel 475 miles only

to be defeated in the second round. Peru State had to put in a version of Lincoln's "operation mattress," Tuesday night, in order to accommodate the 200 players, coaches, fans and sponsors. This was taken care of in good fashion by the combined effort of the girls' dorm and the houses around the campus. The 1959 winner of the tournament was Verdon-Dawson. Several of the same girls were back and played on their second straight championship team.

More Than 100 Courses To Be Offered In 1960 Summer Session

Large Audience For Style Show By Sandra Pearson . On March 29, 1960, at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus School Auditorium, a spring style show sponsored by the American Association of University Women was enjoyed by a large audience in spite of the drizzly weather. Manager, Mr. R. M. Gladstone, of Wessel's of Nebraska City, Nebraska, was assisted by staff members, Mrs. Lillian Bush, Mrs. Georgia Granger, and Mrs. Irene Enrjght in selecting outfits for the review. The fashions for the coming spring and Easter were modeled by four groups. The adult models were: Miss Mary Clarke, Mrs. Ellis Adams, Mrs. Al Wheeler, Mrs. John Lewis, Mrs. Lee Becker, Mrs. W. E. Morrissy, Mrs. Er· vin Eickhoff, Mrs. Lyle McKercher, Mrs. Albert Straw, and Mrs. Jack Mcintire. College and co-ed fashions were modeled by Peru Staters Rita Grandg~nett, Mary Ann Lewellyn, Sue Moore, and Linda Nygaard, while Campus School youngsters Pamela Lewis, Pamela Morrissy, Mark Coatney, Lavonne St~phens, Darilyn Manring and Scott McKercher . presented styles geared to this age group. Two pre-school children Janet Wilson and . David Wininger, showed styles for the very young set. An outfit which drew approval was the blue-gray suit worn by Mrs. Mary Clarke. For accessories, Mrs. Clarke chose a chic hat of blue nylon roses and pale blue gloves. A light-weight white wool coat worn by Mary Ann Lewellyn was another eyecatcher with its long row of buttons in front and its embroidered satin lining. A black patent leather bag made a beautiful contrast to the white of the coat. Pamela Morrissy wore a black and white checked cotton dress with a smart Easter bonnet also of black and white, while young David Wininger was set for the coming spring and summer in his short plaid trousers, w i th matching jacket, and cap. At mid-point in the show, the Easter Parade theme was set to music when Mrs. D. Wininger sang "Easter Parade," accompanied by Mrs. Gilbert Wilson. The commentary, written by Mrs. G. Schottenhamel, Mrs. Lee Becker, and Mrs. Gladys Ackley, was presented by Marge Parker of station KNCY in Nebraska City. The style show committee was composed of Mrs. G. Schottenhamel, Mrs. Robert Majors, Mrs. Al Wheeler, Mrs. D. Manring.

·Radio Station On Campus The Peru State Teachers radio station has been appropriated five hundred dollars from the college funds by the president of the college and from four hundred to five hundred dollars from the Student Senate to cover the expenses involved in establishing such a project. Dr. Schottenhamel reports that substantial equipment for a radio station is very expensive, but if all goes well, the station will be ready to broadcast late next fall.

Mrs. W. A. Clineburg Tells of the Burning of Old Mount Vernon By Chris Hays Mt. Vernon Hall was completed January 4, 1897. It is to be razed to make way for a new $342,249 Student Center and an addition to Eliza Morgan. On October 24, 1867, the first term of the state's new Normal School started in part of this structure with three teachers and 40 students. The building c o s t $8,000 which was raised by subscription from citizens in the Peru area. The property was given to the State Normal Board in August, 1867, by the Methodist Episcopal Church Conference, which had started classes August 1866, in a downtown building with one teacher and 38 students. The Nebraska Legislature appropriated $10,000 to refit the building in 1869. It was this building which was gutted by fire in January, 1897, and which, since its reconstruction, has served as a dormitory on the Peru State Teachers College campus until this year. Only the walls of the original structure were standing after the fire but much of the sam,e material is in the soon-to-pass Mount Vernon. Mrs. W. A. Clineburg, Peru's ·city clerk, says she remembers when the old dormitory burned. "My sister and I had just come back from Christmas vacation. At that time there were two

trains through Peru, and we came in on the one that arrived in Peru about 4:00 p.m. We lived in a basement apartment across the street from the girls' dorm. We had heard while in Nebraska City that the dormitory had burned. When we entered our room, we found it stacked /full of dormitory property that had been placed there because of the fire. There was a big cream can which had spilled, and cream was running all over our room. And that's what we young, and homesick girls found when we arrived home." Mrs. Clineburg said that she still has a celery dish that was left in her room during the fire. She remembers Miss Morgan quite well. Mrs. Clineburg commented, "Miss Morgan was proprietor at that time, and she taught me in algebra class and also physiology. One of my most prized possessions is a picture that Miss Morgan gave me of herself."

The college catalog for the 1898-99 announced that the new dormitory "is heated with steam and lighted with electricity. Each room is intended for two ladies and is furnished as follows: bedstead, bed springs, mattress, pillows, chairs, washstand, and dresser, study table, wash bowl and pitcher; and window shades. Bed clothing and necessary articles which can be brought in a trunk are to be furnished by the students. The cost of room rent includes lighting."

Student Senate Plans Spring Election The Student Senate has been making plans for the coming elections to be held in May. It has planned a new system for this election. Parties consisting of seventyfive members are to be organized. These parties will form t h e i r platforms. At a party caucvs meeting, candidates for president, vice president, and members-at-large will be nominated. The campaign kick-off starts Wednesday, April 20, and lasts until 10:30 p.m., April 26. After Easter vacation a convocation will be held so candidates c an give campaign speeches. The election for president, vice president, and members-at-large will be May 2. Following the May 2 election, the class representatives will be elected.

Mrs. Clineburg asked me if I knew where Peru's bell came from. I said, "No," and she said, "A school bell was needed, so the girls got a lumber wagon and went into the country and got chickens. The chickens were sold to raise money for the bell fund." So we owe thanks to the ambitious money raisers of the early 1900's for our victory bell.

More than lOO•courses will. be offered for under-graduate and graduate students in the 1960 summer session at Peru State Teachers College, according to F. H. Larson, registrar. The regular eight-week session, during which nine hours of college credit may be earned, will open June 6 and close July 29. Offerings will include not only those of interest to the in-service teacher, but also to homemakers and business people. With the 1960 session, Peru State will continue the special gifted student program for high school students between the junior and senior years. Under the program, students will be perniitted to enroll for three beginning college courses after succelsf~l ~ompletion of entrance tests and U'pon recommendation of high school officials. The college credit earned during the summer may be applied to future co· work at Peru State or be transferred to other colleges upon high school graduation. The popular two-week post session will open July 30 and continue through August 13. During the session, two or three hours of college credit may be earned. The post session offerings will include: Children's Literature, Audio-Visual Mater i a 1s, Workshop in Elementary Education, Safety Education and First Aid. Those planning to enroll for post session courses should do so on June 6, the opening of the regular session. Post session classes will have limited enrollments, Mr. Larson said.

A further notation adds: "The cost of fuel cannot be given in advance as the heating apparatus has not been tested." This item no doubt was of great interest to residents of the former structure since an earlier catalog quoted the cost of wood at $3 to $5 per cord.

LIBRARY SHORTS By Darlene Criiel The Alive and Growing Teach; er was written by Clark E. Moustakas. This book is ~ portrayal of persons living and. learning together. It describes the emo1 tional atmosphere, the condi· tions, and the process of learning. It tells what happens to individuals when they are free to be themselves. The particular group involved is composed of classroom teachers and principals, but their experience and the underlying theory are relevent to any person concerned with human relations and genuine life with other persons. The Yellow Wind, written by William Stevenson, is a brilliant and fascinating portrait of modern China. More than any politi· cal study or specialist's report, it gives the American reader some understanding of a new people and the secret of their power. William Stevenson is a Canadian foreign correspondent who went to Korea in 1952 with a challenging assignment-to get at the root of the system of indoctrination that made Chinese prisoners so impervious to Western. ideas of democracy. Fascinated by what he saw, Stevenson stayed on in the Far East, making prolonged trips throughout . China, Southeast Asia, India, Tibet, and far eastern R.ussia. His object everywhere was to learn the secrets of Mao's success. He found ·that Mao has adapted Marxism to his own people and the result is infinitely m o r e subtle-and. thus more dangerous than Slavic Communism. We of the West realize these people have a new faith to replace their broken superstitions. We must not ignore the ancient Chinese proverb "Grass covers the globe because grass bends before the wind." Beyond My Worth is an inspiring new book by Lillian Roth, author of I'll Cry Tomorrow. "Nothing in my wildest imaginings could have prepared me for what has happened these p as t five years," says Lillian Roth in her new book. This book continues the story of her life from the publication of I'll Cry Tomorrow

to the present. Catapulted back into the limelight as a "reformed" alcoholic, faced·with the problems of a professional comeback, besieged by people w h o sought solace and advice, troubled by her own weaknesses and doubts, she found herself on the verge of panic and blindness. But the love and strength of her husband, the will to make good on her own, and the faith and affection of a vast audience w h o turned to her for help, carried her over the troubled waters. Step by step she found her way out of the darkness that still threatened her. With the same frankness and honesty that made her autobiography a deeply moving experience, Lillian Roth now describes her struggle back to the top of the night club circuit, of the lean and the full years, of the disappointments and triumphs, and of her search for religious understanding. She tells of her decision to become a serious actress. "Life is a struggle-and to stop struggling is to stop living. But that struggle is not for money alone, but to create, to realize the best within us. In this way we draw closer to God." Seldom has there been a story as inspiring and warmly human as this continuation of the record of a woman's search to find peace and happiness within herself.·

Band Presents Concert At Sidney, Iowa '.(.'he Peru State Symphonic Band Ensemble was invited to play a concert at Sidney, Iowa, Tuesday, March 29, at 8 o'clock p.m. The band members we re transported to their destination by individual cars. Flood conditions caused a small crowd. The first selection presented was "Foundation March" by Goldman. Some of the other selections were "First Suite for Band," "Gustav Holst," selections from "Windjammer" by Morton Gould, and "American in Paris" by Gershwin. Other features were Larry Miller playing "Trumpet Concerto" by Joseph Hayden and Alan Kreglo, ."Melody" by Young Harper. The trumpet trio consisting of Larry Miller, Henry Hinrichs and Robert Kaiser, accompanied by the band, played "Bugler's Holiday." Concert was completed with "March Opus No. 99" by Prokofieff.

Nebt WHISPERS FROM MORGAN

By Carolyn Parli Ah, spring is here-tra la, la la la, and all that jazz! It's becoming a struggle to stay in a stuffy classroom while Mother Nature is beckoning us outside. But alas, the call of the teachers is a much stronger force. Once again we see hikers running up and down the hills of Peru exploring for a few early-blooming flowers. To celebrate the coming of · April, the girls in the dorm liad an April Fool's Party, March 31, Thursday, at 10:30 p.m. CarolJ'.11 Wing and Jeannine Ehlers were in charge of the party. Several skits were given. Those participating in the skits were Ro s e Clancy, Lois Fritz, Mari 1y n Wright, Connie Erisman, Carol McLain, Ellen Hunzeker, and · Carolyn Parli. Dorm council met Tuesday, March 29, at 6:30 p.m., in Miss Slattery's apartment. They decided to order two card tables and another hair dryer. They also discussed Open House. There were several birthdays these last few weeks. The girls having birthdays are K a r e n Fankhauser, Jane Kunkel, Jane Dietl, Margaret Beard, and Norma Pugsley. The bathtub has been quite a busy place these days, Rae Mae Henry was dunked for being pinned to David Fulton from Wood River, Illinois. The g i r 1s have been trying to throw Alber" ta Kasparek in the tub for a long time. They finally succeeded after nearly drowning everyone. Joan Eickhoff also met her fate in the tub. A surprise wedding shower was held for Raylene Miller on April 4. Raylene received an electric skillet as a gift. Refreshments were served later. The climax of the evening was when Raylene got a dunking in the "ole tub." Raylene who is from Elmwood, Nebraska, became the bride of Larry Curnes from Falls City, Nebraska, on April 9th at the Methodist church in Elmwood. The editor took a poll on how one can avoid getting that dreaded disease-spring fever! Here are some of the comments made by the girls. "Don't, look at the opposite sex." "Avoid long walks on sunny afternoons." "Avoid moonlight drives through the country." "Sit in your room and study, study, study!" "Run around with the girls all the time." "Who says it's a 'dreaded' disease?" "Move to the Arctic." "Take tranquilizers." "Play it cool, man, cool." "Get thrown in a tub of cold water!"

The 1960 Peru State Tennis Team, ·coached by Dr. Darrell Wininger, has a nine g am e schedule. Three returning lettermen bolster the team. The returnees are Marvin Bergsten, Dick Kunde, and Eldon Rossmiller. A promising newcomer is Jon Palmer, a freshman from Omaha Central. The tennis squad has b e en hampered by the weather.

Political Parties In Student Senate Election For '60-'61 Political parties have been formed on the Peru State campus for the purpose of electing the Student Senate for the school year of 1960-61. The first step of the campaign was the formation of platforms. Wednesday, April 20, the three political parties attempted to meet the 75-signature requirement. The Progressive Party is headed by Al Wheeler and Donna Francis. A second party is sponsored by Drexel Harvey and Jack Johnson, Jerry Wanser and Ray Meister head the third party. After the 75 signatures have been obtained, each party will hold a caucus meeting. Candidates for president, vice-president, and the three members-atlarge will be nominated at each caucus meeting. Written certification from the party to the senior represen tati ves must be given after the candidates are nominated. The candidates names will then be placed on the ballot. The ~en i or representatives, which will govern the elections, are Tom Higgins, Carolyn Wing, Warren Dyke, and Phyllis Peters. Students should watch the bulletin boards for changes in the campaign and election dates.

By Leroy Keyt Construction on .the four building projects on the Peru .campus was halted for 14 days, between Tuesday, March 29, and Tuesday, April 12. According to Dr. Neal S. Gomon, the college president, the Industrial Arts and Student Center buildings will be ready by September 1. The construction was stopped when pickets from Local 1190 first appeared at the site of the new A. V. Larson Industrial Arts Hall, the A. D. Majors Men's Hall, the Student Center, and the addition to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence Hall. The stoppage was the result of a dispute between labor union representatives and the Thomas Construction Co., St. 1.Joseph, Mo. The laborer's union wanted to unionize the Peru job, as well as other sites at which the Thomas Construction Co. was working. Similar strikes took place in Missouri and Kansas, as well as Nebraska. The strike was also a jurisdictional dispute, in that the Omaha local wanted to extend the i r control to this area. Additional men have been put on the job in order to meet the building deadlines. According to the present schedule, the we st addition to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence Hall will be ready for occupancy by June 1 and A. D. Majors Men's Hall by July 1.

Dr. Blanton and student teachers of the year: Leota Gebers, Wayne McFarland, Lynda Ehlers, Rosemary Rottman, Jerry Paden and Linda Moore.

Six Student Teachers Honored Science Head By Carol Ellenberger At the convocation Wednesday, April 13, 1960 six outstanding student teachers were honored for their ability and effort. Before the awards were presented, Dr. Blanton spoke and told the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher. When a teacher has "ability to recognize that all people love to achieve" he is a great teacher. He went on to tell how all people love to achieve and how the creativity of man sets him apart from the lower animals. Of the six honored s t u d e n t teachers, two were from the twoyear program and four were four year students. Ehlers One of the two year students was Lynda Ehlers. Linda has been active in WAA, SEAN, and Student Christian Fellowship. She is treasurer of White Angels, a cheerleader, and works in Special Services. Last year she was secretary of the Freshman class and in addition to being Homecoming Queen this year, she was an attendant at last year's May Fete and also the past two years at the Sweetheart Dance. Gebers Leola Gebers, the other twoyear student who was honored, is active in SEAN. Leola is a sophomore in elementary education.

Moore Linda Moore, a four year stuc dent, is a major in home econO!flics. Linda is President of W o m e n Student's Association and is a former social chairman of Morgan Hall. Linda has been a9tive in the Home Ee Club and served as vice-president. She was also a member of the debate team for three years. Other activities include Student Christian Fellowship and White Angels.

Ralph Marterie and his Marlboro Orchestra made their appearance on Peru State Campus Tuesday, April 19. A large number of students and members of the community attended. The music seemed to be enjoyed by all as maneuvering around the crowded dance floor became rather__ difficult at times. The Student Senate was in charge of decorations. The i r theme, April Showers, was carried out with a rainbow and a pot of gold on the back wall of the gym, with umbrellas and raindrops hanging from the ceiling. . This was one of the highlights of the year on the Peru State Campus, and the dance was thoroughly enjoyed by all attending.

Delzell Doings By Gary Brown How did you like the dance? The musk wa:s great and just about everyone must have gone because Delzell suffered with another night of peace and quiet. As Easter vacation started last Thursday everyone tore out of the dorm in the afternoon a n d headed for home. It sure was a gay time. However, the gay mood changed Monday night as everyone came trudging back to good old Delzell.

Not everyone spent the Easter vacation at home. Kenneth Humphrey, for instance, spent his vacation in Minnesbta visiting his sister, who attended Peru a few years ago. Colorado or bust! A few of the boys used the vacation for a trip to Colorado. Clinton Blekher was the provider of the car, and he was accompanied by LaMarr Gibson, Bob Gibson, Galen Conn, and Larry Rebuck. The boys visited Denver and Boulder on their trip. Congratulations are in order. Rae Mae Henry and David Fulton have announced that they are pinned. Congratulations. Tom Higgins and Barbara Hill have announced their engagement. We wish you the best of everything, Barbara and Tom. "Without labor nothing prospers."-Sophocles.

On Friday, April 8, Peru State opened their 1960 baseball season with a double-header against St. Benedicts of Atchison, Kansas.

Mr. Brandenburg pointed out that a building is more than mere bricks, stone, and mortar; that buildings may ennoble lives, or they may degrade lives. "The influence of A. V. Larson has been hard to measure," he said. "There is no end to the influence of a teacher." He concluded his remarks with the thought that A. V. Larson's influence will live on in the new industrial arts building. Peru's band played the closing ode "America," after which the Grand Chaplain gave the benediction.

when he went calling on an old acquaintance, the lovely niece of the local multi-millionaire construction man, he still imagined he would be digging away at a feature story-one he'd chosen himself-about a noted psychiatrist's work in human rehabilitation. But a sudden explosion of maliciously planned terror and tragic death jarred Richard Jordan from his routine· assignment into a lurid nightmare. With only the bright promise of a woman's love to support him, Jordan began a perilous one man search for the evil force who cast a palling shape across men's lives-a shadow of fear that sealed lips, cloaked murderers, and had held the threat of vicious reprisal over the head of everyone in Central City for over ten years. It Takes One ±o Know One is the Joey Adams do-it-yourself laugh kit. "Laugh and the world laughs with you-but only if the joke is good. If you want to 'make funny' for the people you must be prepared for battle," says Joey Adams. Here, from a master comic, are the secrets of success in the joke-telling game. With devastating a c cur a c y, Joey anatomizes the styl~s of today's funny men. He· also investigates the components of comedy and gives valuable tips on joke telling-such as sizing up an audience, switching, introducing a gag, topical jokes, and the monologue. Five detailed examples of Joey's stock-in-tradethe monologue-are included: on Alaska ("I love God's frozen people but I get a chill when I open the refrigerator"); Texas ("There is a movement afoot to teach Texas school children how to spell 'small' "). Finally, for all readers, Jo e y presents Joey's "Portable Gag File," a virtual dictionary of jokes for all occasions.

Miss Wing comes to Peru from Shubert, Nebraska, where she graduated from high school in 1957. Now a senior, Carolyn's . major field of concentration is elementary education.

The queen is kept quite busy with many activities: she is secretary of the Dramatics Club, secretary of Student Senate, a member of Kappa Delta Pi, White Angels, S.E.A.N., and the dorm council of Eliza Morgan Hall. Also vying for Carolyn's \ time earlier in the year was her role in the spring play, Brief Music. Being a candidate for Homecoming Queen and Sweetheart Queen, Carolyn got a small sample of how being queen would feel but when it happened to her she was still surprised and felt it to be an honor. Miss Wing's attendants were Phyllis Peters, a senior from Johnson, Nebraska; Di an n e Schultz, a junior from Burchard, Nebraska; Jane Kunke 1, a sophomore from Falls City, Nebraska; and Sandra Pearson, a freshman from Bellevue, Nebraska.

WHISPERS FROM MORGAN By Carolyn Parli Hurrah! Vacation is just around the corner-no more lessons, books, or teachers' stern looks. Summertime will soon be here and everyone will be drifting his different way. Mount Vernon has seen its last days. Let us have a moment of silent meditation in honor of the old building. It seems sad to see it torn down, but everything must go sometime, and now is the time! Open House must have been a tremendous success, j u d g i n g from the looks of all the empty tea cups and cookie trays afterwards. You should have seen

Harlan Returns From Canadian I. A. Conference Dr. Owen Harlan, Professor of Industrial Arts and Head of the Division of Practical Arts at Peru State, has returned from Toronto, Canada, where he was an active participant in the -convention of the American Industrial Arts Association. "I was particularly impressed by the progress made by the Canadian schools during the past decade," he said. "This is especially evident in the industrial arts program, where welltrained teachers, well-equipped shops, and artistically designed projects have replaced the meager programs of 10 years ago." This being the first convention of the AIAA to be held outside the United States, the theme was " Promoting International Understanding Through Teacher Education." Since Dr. Harlan had two years of experience teaching in

vveel\

foreign lands, he was called upon to act as chairman of a panel discussion, "Global Geography and the Industrial Arts Program." He also gave a speech on "Developing an Industrial Arts Teacher-Training Program for the Union of Burma." This was illustrated by a number of colored slides which Dr. Harlan took during his assignment in Burma. He acted as a consultant to the Ministry of Education of the Union of Burma from 1955 to 1957 under the Fulbright Program. Dr. Harlan reports that the week was a very busy one. In addition to the above, he acted as judge of the ballot for the election of new officers for the Association. He returned to Omaha just in time for meetings of the Nebraska Industrial Arts Association on Friday evening and Saturday.

those future homemakers d o their spring deaning. W h a t would we do without Open House-have a dirty room all year round! We've done it again! Another Peru coed has been crowned Miss Auburn-Linda Nygaard. The girls who took first and second place were Pam Yost and Marilyn Wright, respectively. Other girls in the dorm participating were Lois Fritz, Bev Parde and Mary Ann Lewellyn. The girls having birthdays these last few weeks are Marilyn Wright, Patsy Melcher, Pat Rathe, Beverly Farmer, Janet Bertram, Carolyn Parli, Susan Hulbert, Linda Goodin, Barbara Wellensiek, J o a n Votroubek, Lynda Ehlers and Mary Ann Lewellyn. Sounds as if that "ole spring fever" is, doing its job. Several girls have been seen flashing diamonds on their fingers. The engaged girls are Barbara Hill from Fremont, Nebraska, to Tom Higgins from Valley, Nebraska; Rae Mae Henry from Plattsmouth, Nebraska, to David Fult()n from Wood River, Illinois; Carolyn Wing from Shubert, Nebraska, to Larry Law, who is stationed at the Air Force Base in Omaha; Gladys Monahan from Palmyra, Nebraska, to Pat Mahoney from Sterling, Nebraska, who is stationed at San Diego, California. Some of the girls on second floor had a party for Linda Nygaard to celebrate her becoming Miss Auburn. The climax of the evening was when Linda got thrown in the tub. Carolyn Wing was also thrown in the tub to celebrate her engagement. Third floor had a little excitement this week when they tried to throw Gladys Monahan and Barbara Hill in the tub. Seems as though the girls weren't too happy about the whole deal. The girls had a dorm meeting Tuesday night, May 3, at 10:30, to elect officers for next year.

Also deserving congratulations are Mrs. T. J. Parker, elected vice president; Mrs. Geraldine Straw, elected secretary; and Mrs. Garold Goings, re-elected treasurer. This year instead of trying to have an all-school end-of"Year picnic, the P.T.A. will assist each teacher in having individual room picnics or parties or trips.

Campus School Chatter By Mary Anna Gnade The college home ec girls are conducting play school for next falls kindergartners, 12 boys and two (that's right, only two) girls. You hear the phrase "two boys for every girl," but this class is ridiculous! On the other hand, present enrollment in 8th grade is nine girls and three boys. Distribution, law of nature, sumpin' didn't work. By the way, have you met the hamster in kindergarter? Or the guinea pig? (These kindergartners are going to know how to read two words when they "graduate"-the label "guinea pig" is the only reading matter in the room!) But that hamster · -greedy little thing! Stands and begs for food and stuffs it in his cheek pouches until he is all out of proportion. Mrs. Adams, teacher, '(with her weird sense of humor) gave the poor thing a whole unshelled peanut one day-you can just imagine the animal's frustration! The night watchman says the guinea pig makes the oddest noise, begging for company when the building is vacant. Speaking Of animals, the little fox caged in the Science building also gave Pop a start in the blackness of night. Junior-Senior Pr~ is the subject of the moment. Having a girl anticipating this event is rather hectic, but getting a boy ready for the big event becomes a little frantic-no tie good enough, suit must be cleaned at last minute, need sharper socks (!), corsage, boutonniere, probably a crewcut trim 10 minutes before the dance, not to mention decorating at the school! In fact, this topic rather puts May Fete in the background among campus schoolers. Having National Music Week May 1 to 7 works out fine for the <:ollege, but is rather an anticlimax at the campus S<:hool. Their music week came during contest time (and they !,ipheld the honor of the ol' school, too), although they are rehearsing for a musical performance to windup PTA. Each organization will perform-A and B bands, A and B orchestras, choruses and possibly smaller groups. This year the PTA voted not to have an all-school picnic the last day of school but rather to help with individual classroom affairs. Haven't yet heard of any plans in this direction, but Jeannie said "I suppose 8th grade won't have one since we're going on our field trip May 13 and that will probably take the place of a picnic." Yup, guess the field trips are pretty well set now: 8th grade to Omaha Friday, May 13, with "Ben Hur" to finish it off. Seventh grade goes to Lincoln Friday, May 20; seniors to Kansas City but what with announcements and other end•ofschool details this trip merges into -the general confusion. Ninth grade doesn't go on a

Peru Achievement Foundation Trustees Held Meeting A meeting of the Peru Achievement Foundation Trustees was held April 27, 196(}. The foundation voted to award five $100 scholarships for the year 19601961. This is the same number that has been given for the pa:>t two years. The Foundation created a $100 scholarship to be awarded to a senior from the income from contributions of the class of 1906 in memory of a classmate, Charles Weigand. It has been voted to provide $1,00(} for the furnishing of the guest dining room in the new student center. The foundation will also provide matching funds ·for the next allocation of federal fun<ls for the National Defense Student Loan. It is reported ·that the alumni .contributions have, so far this year, surpassed the amount given one year ago. Through April 23, it has been $2,007. Alumni. gifts throughout the calendar year 1959 have been $2,893.18. formal "field" trip, but I spotted them on an informal type visitation-to the Special Servkes Department in the Ad Building to visit the dark room in the interests of Science! I doubt if many people get the reaction I have had: Jimmy, in 4th grade, is taking part in an· other play. Sally, in 5th grade, says "We never got to be in plays and things when we were in 4th grade." Jeannie, in 8th grade, tops her: "Both of you get to do more things and study more science than our grade did when we were in 4th grade." Sibling bitterness, or ah-progress!

ingly approved the campaignparty system of electing student senate representatives. One hundred and jixty ·said they liked the way the election was run, but only 57 said they did not. One hundred and forty-three said they liked· the way parties were set up, and 72 said they did not. One hundred and sixty said three parties were enough, while 50 . said they were not. Many students made comments. The main comments were that they would like to see more week-end activities. Improvement of cafeteria food was also an important item. Most party workers felt there should have been more campaign time. They felt that campaign platforms should not be copied. Some complained this was too much of a popularity contest, and that it was somewhat disorganized. Some students felt they were not given enough opportunity to join parties and that the parties were cliqueish. Other suggestions included opening of the swimming pool, do away with student grading of papers, have qualifications for officers of the senate, that there should be more professional entertainment at convocations. Some ask that a balloting place with booths be set up. The Student Senate would like to thank the student body for the response on this questionnaire.

By Gary Brown The time has come to Delzell for blood-shot eyes and harsh feelings as finals are upon us again. Congratulations, seniors. Please don't make all the money, but save some, for the rest of us. Delzell Hall has a rodeo star. Congratulations, Terry Wickham on your getting fourth in bulldogging at the Nebraska Collegiate Rodeo. There is an old saying that practice makes perfect. As this was Terry's first try at bull-dogging, Peru should have a real champion. Congratulations are in order for Joan Riggle and Jack Johnson on their recent engagement. Good luck to you both. Gary and Dick Brown should have a very interesting and educational summer as they are to spend it abroad. The boys will spend most of · the summer in Saudi, Arabia with their parents, but plan to visit much of Europe and the Holy Land while abroad. As this is my last column, I should llke to thank everyone who has faithfully read it. So long, and have a good summer.

Mr. Masek received his Bachelors Degree from PSTC in January 1951. He received his Masters from Greeley, Colorado and attended summer sessions at the University of Nebraska and the University of Missouri. Before coming to Peru, he coached and taught at Randolph, Iowa, for two years and at Tarkio, Missouri, for two years. He came here as coach of Peru Prep and later became supervisor of the math and science department at the Campus School. He has been principal of the Campus School for. the past two years. In addition to being principal of the Campus School, Mr. Masek is sponsor of the senior class, student council, and the high school yearbook, the "Bobkitten." He is vice-president of the faculty association. He has served on Peru's city council, and was president of the local NEA unit. Mr. Masek's record is outstanding as an administrator, coach, teacher, and citizen of the community. He and Mrs. Masek have been active in church, school, and community affairs. They are the parents of five girls, four of whom attend the Campus School.

Senior Reception Held The Senior Reception was held Saturday evening, May 21, at 8:00 p.m. in the Campus School Auditorium.

Linda Nygaard Entered In Miss Nebraska Contest Miss Linda Lee N y g a a r d , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dexter Nygaard, win.ner of the 1960 Miss Auburn Pageant, will be an entry in the 1960 Miss Nebraska Pageant. There will be approximately twenty-three girls entered in this contest. The Pageant will be held at Columbus, Nebraska, the first and second of July. Mrs. Dexter Nygaard will accompany her daughter to Columbus. The contest starts Friday morning at nine o'clock with various teas, which will be followed by a parade in the afternoon. The actual judging will be done Friday and Saturady evenings. As her talent for the contest, Miss Nygaard will do her interpretation of "Quiet Village," which she did for the Miss Auburn Pageant. Her approach, however, will be different because she plans to use a picture as a background through which she will explain her dance. Then she will proceed to explain it in actions rather than words. Lin d a plans to use plumes which will symbolize the waving palms of the "Quiet Village" in her dance.

Of Nebraska Building Program Is Progressing By Barbara Wellensiek In an interview on June 10, President Go m o n said, "The building program is making satisfactory progress." The new Student Union is scheduled to be done before school opens this fall, but there is some doubt as to whether it will be finished then. It is to have priority over the other buildings. If possible, work will be shifted from the other buildings to the Student Union so that it can be completed by September. The Student Union will, however, be completed by October 1st at the latest. The A. V. Larson Building is progressing very satisfactorily and will be finished by September. The equipment will be moved in by August 15. President Gomon also said that the new wing of Eliza Morgan Hall has been accepted. The work being done on Majors Hall at 1he present is plastering and laying the floors. Majors Hall will be completed by July 15. The new street lighting that is now on the campus was a joint college-city installation. The total cost was $6,000 with the city paying 1h and the college paying % of the cost. Work has begun on a separate, new telephone system for Peru's campus. The system will be completed by September 1st.

Professor J. D.. Levitt took this picture of Karen Fankhauser and Rose Clancy standing in the windows of Mt. Vernon Hall shortly pefore workers tore down the wall of the old dormitory. The roof had already been removed. The picture might be entitled "Complete Air Conditioning at Peru" or "Pulchritude Amidst The Ruins." Anyhow, it's a novel and interesting example of photographic composition. In a sense, the picture has historical value. Mount Vernon had to go to make room for the new Student Union Building Âąo be compleied this fall.

Melvin Explains Graduate Program According to Dr. Keith Melvin, 1962 will be the last summer for anyone to qualify for a masters degree from Peru State. This means that anyone expecting to qualify for the masters at Peru would have had to be enrolled as of the summer of 1959. The program of courses is being carefully planned so that all who are in the program at the present time will be 'able to complete their degrees. The masters program at Peru is accredited by the North Central Association up to and including tb,e summer of 1962. Graduate work for transfer and certification purposes will be continued. The program will be pointed toward improvement in elementary and secondary instruction. Dr. Melvin stated that there are 11 candidates for the mas,ters degree on July 30: Robert Bacon, Gertrude Chase, John Christ Jr., Lillian Christ, Carl Gawart, Marvin Gerdes, Doyle Gump, Lee Norris, Dorothy Rieke, Donald Scoby, and Dale Whited.

Wednesday night, June 15, a bridal shower was held for Diane Schultz, a former Peruvian. Peg McGee and Jane Dietl had a room full of girls including Joni Weslowski, Mrs. Marlene Zinn, Mrs. Grace Russell, Jane Kunkel, Nancy Kunkel, and Jan Lillethorup. Jeannine Ehlers received a present from Gladys Monahan-a frog sandwich, with a very alive frog in it! The frog heard lots of screaming from girls on second when Marilynn Giesmann, Kay Jacobson; Marge Leenerts, and Pat Earl met up with him.

Week-ends in Morgan Ha 11 have been rather quiet, but it seems the television is kept in almost continuous use. Boys have been in the dorm all week painting the halls. The improvement is a very welcome one! Joan Riggle has been having car trouble lately-first of all the brakes went out, then she managed to flood the motor in Auburn and cause a traffic jam. Such luck! Rose Clancy has been staying up late at night reading a few science fiction novels. She claims they're pretty interesting. If you see her walking around in a space helmet, try not to pay any attention to her! The dorm's ice bag got a workout the other night when Sandy Krakow put it to good use. It seems she was chasing a volley ball up the bleachers in the gym, and missed the first step. She managed to end up with a few bruises. Gladys Monahan has joined the "We Rate" club. She received two long distance telephone calls ' in one week-end, both from the same lucky guy!! Must be nice! SATURDAY CLASSES HELD AT PERU Classes were held on the Peru campus Saturday, June 25, to 1 make up for the Fourth of July holiday. Peru Staters will have a chance to recuperate on the long week-end, July 2-4. Here are a few enthusiastic comments on the S at u rd a y classes: "If we have to, we have to." "I guess I won't die." "I'm against it, strictly against it!" "That's my wash day!" "Weird, Man!" "Ugh! UGH! !"

Far and Beyond By Dave Longfellow The American coffee break has become an institution indulged in by all, with the possible exception of the Coffee Tasters Union. It is viewed by so1,11e as an unproductive waste df time, b u t some remarkable thought has had its roots in the morning coffee hour. Witness this baseball line-up which was evolved by philosophy students Roy Laue and Bill Almond during last summer's session: Short-stop; Socrates; 2nd base, Plato; 1st base, Aristotle. That's a double play combination to rank with Tinkers to Evers to Chance. Third baseman, Heraclitus, a man who believed in fire, is the logical choice for the "hot corner." Pythagorus, a man who depended on geometry for every explanation, is "way out in left field," while Leucippus, who believed in the atom as the basis of all is the natural choice for right field. Marcus Aurelius and Zeno, Stoics with a lot of control, are the pitchers, and Pestilozzi, who was always catching it, is the catcher. You .need a mean guy for the manager so Laue and Almond d(:!1 cided on Caligula, no meane r than whom there never was. Epicureas is the choice for the concessions stand, while Marx and Engles have the business managership. Water boy is Thales who was a great believer in water.

• * ** The path of teachers leaving Nebraslm in favor of the western states is getting deeper, and the route 1s being touted by reports from Bob Slaughter who teaches in the Pueblo, Colorado system. It's just great out there they say. Ruth Linsi:heid~ p1aces California in the "greener pastures" category. Ruth, who taught in the Santa Ana schools this last year, is here for a visit with her parents. Succumbing to this propaganda, Nancy Kunkel has decided on Reno, Nevada for her next year's address. Also hitting the trail west is Bob Whited, a candidate for the master's degree this summer, who is considering Oregon or Arizona as possible headquarters sites after three years at Bloomfield, Nebraska. Kathy !deus, spending this summer in the Science ·Hall, reports that husband Harvey, a masters recipient last summer, is embroiled in courses at the University of Wyoming at Laramie. Clyde Barrett, another graduate of the masters program, made a brief visit to the campus two weeks ·ago and expressed amaze-

• ** * The superintendent of a school system has a lot of headaches. Among them are discipline and the hiring of teachers. Dick Arington, former superintendent at Nemaha found that out last year. He moves to Bratton Union this fall and reports with glee that they have all the teachers hired already. He figures he can handle the discipline alright, but teachers can be a headache and a half. Roy Laue begins his first year as a superintendent at Arthur, Nebraska and is having trouble filling one post on the faculty. It seems that he needs the strange combination of a math and music teacher. As far as I know there just "ain't no sech animal," but if any of you readers know of one contact Roy. The town is friendly, the fishing and hunting is great, and the pay is quite attractive.

• * •• An education in history is a great help in geography. Harold Johnson asked Dr. Robert DeJ.an-

ey where Meeker, Colorado was located and the good doctor guessed it was in the western part of the state, basing his reasoning on ·a massacre there involving the Ute Indian tribe, which seldom got east of the Rockies. Well, that might be okay, but you've got to take into consideration that those might have been the lean years when an Indian had to go a long ways for a good massacre. Remember, you _heard it here first, and will probably wish you hadn't.-DKL

Diddel Exhibit Miss Norma Diddel, art instructor, has six of her. recent oil paintings exhibited in the Bowman Hardware Store in Peru.

Edna Ferber's "Ice Palace" depicts today's Alaska, its modern, vigorous people and: its dramatic weather and scenery. The novel tells of a fifty-year battle between two Titans trying to dominate Alaska's future. This is the story of their lovely Y o u n g granddaughter, Christine Storm, who had to choose between' two younger Titans-a choice t h a t might affect Alaska's future. The characters are strong and bold. This is a novel which everyone would enjoy.

Musical Portraits Entertain at Convo Convocation Thursday, Jun e 16 at Peru State offered enjoyment for all attending. A talented trio from New England appeared in the first Summer Artist Series program. Featuring soprano, tenor and pianist, the Musical Portraits, as they are known, was the brainchild of pianist-arranger D a n a Lordly, whose aim was to combine concert, musical comedy and theatre and present them in a new and entertaining! fashion. In their presentation the group, which met as students at Bos-

ton's New England Conservatory, replaced the formal recital approach with scenes and skits featuring arrangements of music that everyone knows and loves. It was apparent that to the Musical Por,traits music is fun, and offered an opportunity for listeners to share the enthusiasm of three young people with a new and novel approach to the music they love. The artists were Dana Lordly, pianist-arranger, Angelo Picari, tenor, and Dolores Baldyga, soprano.

American Since '58 Loves New Mexico's Scenery and Culture '

By Barbara Clover

When Ria Bauer, who is now the wife of Dr. Robert Delaney, a former Peruvian, came to this country from Germany in August 1958, she was surprised in a very good sense. Everything in America was much nicer than she had expected.

Loves Open Spaces The things that Mrs. Delaney likes best about this country are the wide open spaces, the scenery, and the f r e e d o m from crowding. Mrs. Delaney says the most obvious difference between Germany and: America is the latter's higher standard of living. The modern appliances of this country are available in Germany but only for a few very well-todo people. The automatic washer and dryer top her list of desirable appliances. To Mrs. Delaney the most impressive part of America is the state of New Mexico, where Indian, Spanish, and Anglo cultures come together. She loves the pueblos and cliff dwellings. She says, "Santa Fe is unique to America. A big city could be built any place in the world, but not another Santa Fe." Americans Friendly People everywhere have been friendly to Mrs. Delaney. She is enjoying her second summer in Peru, where her husband is a visiting professor. She loves the campus and the greenery but finds the climate difficult to adjust to. Mrs. Delaney considers herself luckier, than the average immigrant. She had a job waiting for her, a friend to meet her in New York, and the language was no

barrier because she came here ,to teach English. She says that she has had no big adjustment to make because she is associated with 'the same kind of people here as she was in Germany. Language Scholar Mrs. Delaney was born in Gelsenkerchen, Germany, which is in the Ruhr area. Her parents and two sisters are still living there. She attended law school at Munenster University for three years and has a minor in international law from the University of Heidelberg, where she majored in foreign languages. For several years before coming to the United States, Mrs. Delaney lived in Heidelberg where she worked for a gradua,te professor and taught German. In Heidelberg she met a professor from ]ft. Lewis A. & M. College, of Durango, Colorado. This meeting led to a job offer for her. It was in Durango that she met her husband. Visit Home Last summer the Delaneys flew to Iceland, Scotland, Ireland, Holland, and Germany. While Dr. Delaney went on to Paris and London, Mrs. Delaney stayed in Germany for a month's visit with her parents. She then flew from Hamburg, Germany to Durango. More Travel Mrs. Delaney has visited 22 states since she came to America. She spent three weeks in New York when she arrived, th en travelled to Durango, Colorado by bus in order to see more of the country. She spent several days in Washington D. C., St.

Marian Anderson's account of her life is inspiring and deeply moving. Her autobiography entitled "My Lord What a Morning" expresses her warm and reverent approach to living and to music. She began singing as a mere child in her church in Philadelphia. During her girlhood she began to be in demand in other churches, and the small fees she earned enabled her to help her widowed mother and family. Encouraged by others, she began years 0f arduous study on her way towards a musical career. Once she ventured too far ahead, making a premature debut in New York's Town Hall that was a complete failure. Years later the voice of Marian Anderson was first recognized in Europe. From that time on, her tours ii.ave taken her to every corner of the United States, to Mexico, South America, Europe, Russia and the Orient. Also there is the side of her life that f e w people know, the happy marriage and home in Connecticut. Particularly moving in her patience t o w a r d race prejudice, which she has endured with sadness rather than anger. The book unconsciously portrays a Great Lady of two worlds, the world of music and the world of plain living. "Mine Enemy Grows Older" is an autobiography by Alexander King, a non conformist. King has done about everything and he speaks freely of his experiences. He tells why he wore nothing but pink ties for thirty years and how a famous author once sat quietly on a shore watching King drown. He cured himself of drug addiction with the help of doctors and: hospitals. Once an advertising agency gave a party in honor of nine prominent illustrators responsible for the success Of a big campaign. All nine of them happened to be King under different names and addresses and with gracefully invented past histories. King's observations on the .. insane, on marriage a.nd on Am"erica are the pepper of this flavored narrative. Pe.ru State's Library has belonged to the Rocky Mountain Bibliographical Center for one year. By being a member of this organization, the library can use the resources of other libraries belonging to it. The United States Office of Education Pamphlet file, which is on the main floor of the library, can be a great help to student teachers.

new buildings. These extended projects will greatly expand and moderni:z;e the campus.

Mr. Richard Holmes, Assistant Professor of English at Peru State, was one of five persons who helpt;d judge a beauty contest held at Clarinda, Iowa on June 9, 1960. Nine contestants from the surrounding area were entered in the Miss Southwest Iowa Contest, which is a preliminary to the Miss America Contest. Elaine Cummings, Bedford, Iowa, won the Miss Southwest Iowa title. The first and second runners-up were Marilyn Brownlee, Northboro, Iowa, and Diane Mae McElroy, Percival, Iowa, respectively. The contestants were judged on personality, poise, talent and beauty. Emphasis was placed on talent. TP,e judges met with the girls at a tea in the afternoon and talked with the contestants individually. This was to help the judges evaluate the contestants' personality. In the evening the candidates and judges had dinner together. No voting had been done up to this time. When three finalists had been chosen, each was asked two questions. Then the final ballot was cast. The top two finalists tied for first place. Elaine Cummings, the queen, won by a 3-2 tie-breaking ballot.

Hastings College, too, has building projects. Plans have been made for a new dining hall-student center which will be finished by September 19Bl.

He showed many common ones and some from foreign countries. The children especially enjoyed seeing the monarch butterfly. Mr. Brady explained that birds leave this butterfly alone because it has such a bad taste.

Art Exhibit Three of Miss Norma Diddel's art classes exhibited some of their work in front of the gymnasium July 19, 1960. The three classes were freehand drawing, water color painting, and oil painting. Each student chose two pictures from many which he had done the first six weeks. The students arranged the p i c t u res themselves, and the display included charcoal, pencil, India ink, transparent water color, oil, and opaque water color drawings. Also some work from Miss Diddel's other art classes, general public school art and art appreciation, was shown in the three art rooms which are in the library. Forty-nine of the 76 students enrolled in art courses are taking a required class to fill certification or degree requirements. Miss Diddel usually has three · art classes during the summer session, but this summer she is instructing five art classes.

The staff and their guests cooled off while riding on the river in boats. The boats belonged to Stewart Linscheid and Jim Levitt. Disaster struck when the motor went out on Mr. Linscheid's boat and it had to be towed ashore. The episode added a touch of humor as a picture was taken of the small boat be in g towed, as it sped through the water. A few brave staff members took to the water on skis while others looked on from the shore. Afterwards a picnic was held at the home of the sponsor.

Far and Away By Dave Longfellow About this time of the summer it becomes increasingly difficult to find items to fill a far roving column. Not that people aren't doing anything, but they don't do ' anything that can be covered . in a family newspaper. The industrial arts section of the cafeteria gave forth with the bit of news that Guilford Thomas, a member of the group doing graduate work, is moving from Bratton Union to Elk Creek, where he will be handling business and industrial arts courses and spend his after-school hours as assistant coach. The cry, "Never fear-Coatney's here!" has echoed almost every morning in the coffee shop and will continue on to the end · of the summer session, but what then? Where will it be heard this fall? Even Rex Coatney doesn't know as he is still looking for a school after leaving Cook, where he has been superintendent for the past few years. Harley Rector organized a softball team for a game with the Tecumseh town team on Tuesday, July 19. According to the team members, it was a tight pitcher's battle with the Tecumseh crew winning in a cliff-hanger, 26 to 25. Harley, while we're on the subject, goes to Norfolk this fall to head the football chores and assist in basketball and track. Besides these extra-curricular duties he will also be teaching three classes in civics. Almond1 (Bill) and Laue (Roy) have done it again! After phenomenal success with their baseball team of philosophers t h e y have moved into the field of "cool" type music with the great thinkers again furnishing food for thought.

Whispers From Morgan By Jan Lillethorup For eight of the dorm residents, this is the last week of school. They are ending their college career this summer, and will be graduated Thursday e v en in g , July 28. These women have been extra busy the last two weeks. Besides preparing term papers and studying for finals, they have had to do such things as apply for teacher /certification, send graduation announcements, and attend the dorm tea. This week, they will be taking pictures in caps an d gowns, buying graduation gifts, having small farewell parties, and attending the president's tea. While the seniors are preparing for graduation, the underclassmen are managing to keep busy . too. They gave a tea for graduating seniors, Thursday, July 21, in the dorm. A bridal shower was given for Miss Linda Moore in the basement apartment on Monday, July 18. Rose Clancy, Pat Earl, Marge Leenerts, and Jeannine Ehlers were hostesses, and guests included Linda Moore and her mother, Judy Miller, Carolyn Parli, Linda Goodin, Marilynn Giesmann, Kay Jacobson, Jo an Riggle, Jan Lillethorup, Rita Grandgenett, Sandy Pearson, and Carolyn Powers. Typing term papers and reports seems to be a favorite pas-

time. The rec room has been housing Nancy Kunkel, Joni Wesolowski, and Marilyn Glenn as they peck away. The dorm has been bustling with the activity of the girls here for the camp. There is a constant line at the pop machines, at least. The television has been taking a much deserved break after being watched constantly during the Democratic Convention. It is preparing itself for the Republicans, next! To the seniors, graduation is both a sad and happy occasion. It is sad to leave friends and acquaintances, yet it is a great thrill to look into the future,

knowing you are prepared to meet it. Those il). the dorm who will receive their degrees are Dorothy Hajek, Janice Korber, Janice Jahn, Jan Lillethorup, Peggy McGee, . Norma Pugsley, Ella Schrfover, and Nedra Sunderland. Those receiving a two-year diploma are: Elizabeth Clevenger, Jane Dietl, Gerane Drewes, Margaret Hilgerson, Fern Kirkendall, Gladys Monahan, and Loma Nelson. To these people, we give sincere congratulations with wishes for a successful future. Congratulations, summer graduates of Peru State Teachers College ! !

SWIMMING CLASS TAKES FIELD TRIP

Puppeteer In Convo Marshall Izen, TV pianist, humorist and puppeteer who has been featured on the Ed Sullivan and Steve Allen shows, appeared in the Peru State Teachers College Artist Series Thursday, July 21, at the 10:40 a.m., convocation. Mr. Izen's specialty is puppets. As he works with the puppet with one hand, he plays the music with the other. Izen sings all the parts. Born in Chicago, Izen became interested in the piano at the age of five. He was able to play all of his kindergarten songs by ear. While in school he accompanied his classmates' singing. During his youth, he saw a horror-movie which frightened him so that he was afraid to enter the room in which his piano was located. A psychologist prescribed puppets and a miniature stage as an outlet for his excessive imagination. Izen credits his success in his career as an entertainer to this treatment. At the age of 16, Izen made his debut in Chicago playing the Beethoven First. He continued his musical studies at Northwestern. While serving with the 104th Infantry Division in Europe during World War II, he entertained at the front lines. He has completed additional study at DePaul University and Julliard. THIRTY ATTEND PRACTICAL ARTS PICNIC The Practical Arts Division had a picnic at Dr. Owen Harlan's home on July 20.

Teacher In School For Blind Now Attending PSTC Perhaps you have noticed that Peru has a blind student on th e campus. He is Eugene Strader, a teacher at the Nebraska School for the Blind. Mr. Strader was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1920 and spent most of his life there. When he was twelve, he lived in the country near Lawrence for two years. At this time he lost his sight. From the seventh grade on, Eugene attended the School for the Blind in Kansas City, Kansas. It was ten years after graduation from high school before he went to college. During those ten years, Eugene worked in a war plant and a concession stand. He had felt the need to do something more useful than that, so in 1953,, he enrolled in Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas. Eugene's major field was social studies, but a science teacher was in demand at the Nebraska School for the Blind, and he had enough hours to qualify. Mr. Strader said the classes at the Nebraska School for the Blind usually consist of five or six students, some totally blind, some partially sighted. Since the classes are small, they are not as uniform as larger p u b 1i c school classes are, that is, with respect to ability. Some children are born blind and others 1 o s e their sight later so that those who have once had sight h a v e learned many basic things, such as color, whereas the congenitally blind have not. Some children have been over-protected by their parents. Others have to be stimulated to become self-sufficient. Therefore, children of equal abil-

ity in the same grade often are in different stages of intellectual development. Discipline problems are greater in teaching these children largely because of the fact that they do not have much home life, and because many of them have other handicaps. Even so, the teaching is still quite rewarding when it is apparent that real progress is being made. Eugene received his Masters Degree and also did most of his undergraduate work at Kansas University at Lawrence. He is attending Peru to get enough hours in science to obtain a major. Later he hopes to get some more work in teaching the physically handicapped.

Marilyn Dyke Recital

As of July 6, a singles tennis tournament for women has been taking place on the Peru campus. This is a ladder tournament, and the names of the players have . been posted on a ladder in the gym.

The challenge must be accepted within two days or the match will be awarded the chal- .. lenger. Each match will consist of at least one set, and if both parties agree, the best two out of three sets. The woman in first p 1a c e Thursday morning, July 28, will be judged the winner. Those taking part in the tournament are: Dixie Benton, Maxine Sampson, Mary Elliott, Rosemary Grundmann, Elva Schulz, Doris K.resok, Janice Korber and Janice Jahn.

EVEN FORTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, PERU WAS A BUSY SCHOOL The Pedagogian lifted this account from the "News and Views" column of Editor Donald Stanley of the Peru Pointer. In the Good Old DaysJ ames Majors has furnished us with the Peru State Normal School Bulletin for the 1915-16 school year from which we glean that the Normal must have been quite a school. The previous year its enrollment was 1313 students, a gain of about 300 in three years and the bulletin forecast a larger enrollment for 1915. Tuition was free, books were free, dormitory room and board cost $2.90 a week, but in private homes the cost sometimes ran up to $3.50. And, students were expected to get through with their schooling, get their diplomas and get out in two years. Discipline was strict. No young lady was permitted to entertain a gentleman in her room. Th e town of Peru had multiple train service daily to all parts of the nation and it was the boast of the tova1speople that "no saloons or other haunts of vice are found in Peru."

Stemper Crashes-Through Library Floor Since coming to Peru and using the Library facilities, I have been afraid that the glass floor upstairs in the book s e c t i o n would break out from under me. Wednesday, July 6, it happenedto someone else. I was standing in the eight hundred section looking for some books on poetry, when I noticed Coach Stemper coming down the aisle. I said "Hi Coach," and went back to my looking. Right then it happened. I heard a cracking noise and turned around to see Stemper pulling himself out of a hole in the glass floor. The glass had broken out from underneath him, but luckily he had caught himself in time and wasn't hurt.

Junction Nears Completion July 21 was the completion date for the south part of the junction of highways 67 and 75, according to L. W. Fisk, resident engineer for the state department of roads. Mr. Fisk stated that testing should be done by this time if weather pe~mitted construction to continue. The area of new construction is 800 feet from the center line of highway 75, straight east toward Peru. Pavement has been wid-

ened and grade lines raised to the north and south, giving better site direction. Widening and tapering will make it easier to get on and off highway 75. Mr. Fisk said the rainy weather had delayed extending a culvert and bringing the grade up on the north end of the construction area on highway 75.

Class Visits Brownville Mill The Beginning Foods and Nutrition class visited the Brownville mill on Thursday, July 14. The mill is best known for its stone ground flour, but the owner also handles about 100 other foods products. Those who made the trip to Brownville were: Mrs. Louise Kregel, instructor, Marie Green, Arlene Hoshar, Betty Lambert, Ellen Harper, Mary Jarvis, Joann Hunzeker, Carolyn Parli, Georgia Miller, and Donna Johnson.

Kregel Attends Shower On July 8 Mrs. Louise Kregel, home economics instructor, attended a shower given for Linda Moore at the Christian church in Nemaha. Linda will be married to Fred Regnier on August 7. Both were graduated from Peru in May.

While mowing the Methodist church lawn in Brownville Friday, July 15, Dr. Darrell Wininger slipped and injured his right foot. The mower cut off half of his large toe, and made several deep cuts on the top of his foot. Dr. Wininger got in his car and drove to Doctor Thomson's office· in Auburn. After examining the foot, Doctor Thomson sent Dr. Wininger in an ambulance to .the Methodist hospital in Omaha. If this weren't bad enough, some of the Wininger children had mumps while Dr. Wininger was laid up with the bad foot.

Violins and s ma 11 children seem to go together in Peru, Nebraska! From early morning, through the noon hour, in late evening, winter and summer, you'll find small fry coming and going to and from the Music Hall with violins to fit their size. The youngsters are students of Victor H. Jindra, head of the fine arts division at Peru State Teachers College. In a town where the population is right at 1,000 (1,270 in 1950), undoubtedly, there are more violins than in most cities several times the size. At present the younger set of violinists number 36 from kindergarten to the fifth grade age groups. Acccording to Mr. Jindra the old saw about practice making perfect is just a part of the battle in violin instruction for youngsters of this age. Starting them on ·the violin isn't nearly as difficult as keeping them interested. But here the veteran teacher of 37 years on Peru State's Campus of a Thousand Oaks has had more than moderate success through a number of ingenious methods that he employs. Unlike some music educators who feel that a child should not start string instruction before the fifth grade, Mr. Jindra says the secret of developing violinists is to start them when they'Ie young. Some of his incentive methods' include group classes in which the youngsters play together. It's not uncommon to find teacher and class playing an d marching around the room to a march time tune. The results of his recent efforts with youngsters could be seen at the spring recital in which almost all of his kindergarten through fifth grade students participated. A trio of fourth-grade young ladies played "Concerto No. 4" by Huberfrom memory. In 1956 when they appeared in their first spring . recital as kindergartners, th e y were the youngest on the program. They've come a long way, and are just as interested in violin today as they were then. In the four years Georgette Gomon and Lesley Manring of Peru and Jane Ann Frerichs of

Talmage have grown from the one-quarter size violin to the one-half and three-quarter size instruments. The body-length of a full-size instrument is fourteen inches, while the quarter-size is eleven inches. Another noticeable result was the number of youngsters-grownup who appeared in the CollegeCommunity Orchestra's spring concert and at Baccalaureate and Commencement. A number of Mr. Jindra's former students continue to play in college and city symphony orchestra. Some have played with the Honolulu, Wichita, Omaha, Lincoln, Sioux City, Detroit Women's, KRYL Women's symphonies, and the Seventh Army . Symphony in Europe. Miss Judith Miller, a senior in music education at Peru State who started violin instruction under Mr. Jindra as a fourth grader, is preparing for the 1961 Young Artist Auditions of the National Federation of Musi~ Clubs. She was presented in recital as a high school senior and as a sophomore at Peru State as well as soloist at Southeast Nebraska events. If you were to ask any of the small violinists about the best picnic they attended this spring, without a doubt they would tell you it was Mr. Jindra's picnic. The reason for their reply was no doubt due to the planning and preparation that went into it. There were even student committees for ice cream and pop!
