Campus Construction Underway Four Present Projects

To Be Ready Jan., 1961

The new year of 1960 finds-the Campus of a Thousand Oaks a veritable- beehive of building activity. By the beginning of 1961 all construction now underway or planned for the jmmediate future is scheduled for completion.

Started in September,- the new men's residence hall and the west addi t.i<;m to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence hall are slated for completion by June 1, in' time for the· 1960 summer session.- The.·tvio projects wil·I cost JjtlO, 000 including equipiq&nt .and fees. Ninety students will be accommodated in the fully men's hall, and the west wing to Eliza Morgan hall will provide quarters for 40 coeds.

Work on the college:' s new Industrial Arts building, located immediately south of the Campus school, started in November. Contracts for the structure, which will house all industrial arts areas of instruction under one roof, were awarded in late October. Total cost, including equipment and fees will he approximately

The new facility,_scheduled for completion by September 1, 1960, will provide adequate space for the instruction of the industrial arts. About 20% of all students now enrolled in

the college are either majoring or minoring in industrial arts. Woodworking and metal shops are housed in buildings separated by gr.eat distances. It w.ill be possible for the college to expand offerings in courses in general mechanics, electricity 'and electronics, arts and crafts and to add instruction in graphic arts and photography. The first phase of the Student Center project, including cafeteria, snack bar, meeting rooms, offices for student publications and book store, is scheduled for use at the beginning of the 1960-61 academic year. An addition on the south of Eliza Morgan hall, providing space for 18 coeds, and the second phase of the Student Center, which will include a lounge and recreational areas, is .scheduled for completion January 1, 1961. Contracts for the first phase of the Student Center project are to be awarded in February.

The residence hall projects and Student Center, totaling $800,000, will be financed through revenue bonds, to be retired from rentals. Money for the industrial arts structure has been appropriated from the State Institutional Building fund.

Gridders Land

For the second conseeutive seas-On the Chadron Eagles knocked the Peru State grid:ders out of a share of the conference cr,own. Kearney State took top honors once again, with Al Wheeler's Bobcats .landing secon:d spot. In the final game, which was· postponed earlier because of had weather conditions., the Eagles handed the Wheelermen their only · 1oss of the seas,on, 26 'to 14, on the s:nowcovered Chadron State Elliott field. It marked the -third year in a row that a single conference loss kept the Bo-beats from the top spot in the NCC.

The Bobcats got away to a flying start as they swept past their first seven opponents and in the process were among the NAIA small college leaders in offense and defense. They finished with a 7-1 record, the same as the 1958 season. Before the Chadron disappointment, the Bobcats ranked 14th in the nation.

The Bobe a ts possessed an explos_i ve attack which rolled up a total of 277 points to their opponents 59. In total offense the Bobcats outgained their opponents by more than 1300 yards.

There were only 5 seniors listed among the 30 letter winners. From all indications next year's team should be even better and stronger than this season's.

In the final football statistics released by the National Collegiate Athletic bureau Buddy Bookwalter, senior fullback at Pe.ru State college,placed fourth in the nation in punting with a 42.3 average on 44 kicks.

Here are the scores of this games. The Pe-ru score is in the first column.

Cage Season Off To Roaririg Start

As 1959 passed into the record books and 1960 rolled onto the scene, Coach Jack Mcintire's basketballers showed a 7-2 record in collegiate competition and on their way in their quest for a third straight Nebraska College Conference title. Last year the Bobcats squeezed out Wesleyan by one game and the previous year ended in a threeway tie with Chadron and Has tings

Once again the Peruvians made the long journey to l\tashville, to pa:rticipate in the South Central NAIA Tip-off Tournament. Here, as the season before, the 'Cats suffered their first defeat of the season a.s they were stopped by Villa Madonna of Covington, Ky., 67 to 56 and by ·college of Pikevi Ile, Ky. , 84 to 82 in an overtime.

After these defeats the Bobcats rebounded t.o win their own Four-State Tournament at Falls City for the third successive season. On the opening night Peru mauled Drury college of Spri_ngfield, Mo ..• as. set a tournament scoring record with their 102 to 75 win. In the final which pitted the Mcintiremen, for the third_season a row, against Baker- university o:K' Baldwin, the Bobcats triumphed in a come-from-behind vie tory 87 to 81.

In the nine games thus far, the Bobcats have displayed a well balanced as well as explosive scoring attack, _which 78.4 points per game while holding their opponents to a 66. I point average.

The scores of the games through 1959 with the Peru score showing first:

Peru State's future football strength looks good on the ,basis of the_performance turned in by the B' team during the past season.

The 'B' team scored victories over Highland Junior college 6-0, Northwest Missouri State 21-0, and Omaha university 46-0.

President's Tour Russian Education

Different to say the least

Conparison of Russian and American education is extremely difficult because of the· diaaetrically opposed objectives of the two systeas. So reported Dr. Neal S. Gomon, president of Peru State,on his return from a tour of the USSR during the month ofOctober, 1959•

.By ·Neal S. Gomon

The &>vie.t school system is geared to produce a.creature of acontro)led :;;tate while the American goal is the development of an individual for a competitive society.

The Soviet school system is established and maintained to train, not educate; to mold, not develop; to produce, not create; to glorify, not edify.

Because of_ the great differences in the philos?phy \an<!' of ti on, there 1s consi.derable di.f.ference 1n the courses taught. For example, there is no separate course of economics in the Soviet school. Because the economy of the country is planned, there is no profit motive, no law of supply and demand in operation. therefore no need to study that which does not exist. The 'colleges and uni versities do offer courses in Political Economy designed to compare the glories of Soviet socialism with decadent capitalistic systems.

Preparation of teachers in the Soviet differs least with the American system of any of the educational establishments. Nearly all and secondary school teachers are trained in pedagogical institutes although a few enter teaching after attending a university. Five years of post secondary school training is a minimum requirement for teachers.

During these five years about fourfifths of the work is in general education and the field of teaching specialization. As in most American teachers colleges about one-fifth of the program is devoted to professional training inc!uding_observation, practice teaching and methodology. The rector of the venerable Herzen institute in Leningrad indicated teaching candidates might he granted a license with less than perfection in the 'academics' but no deviation .from top-guality performance in professional training is t ted. .

A visitor in any school is immediately aware that all educational institutions are to the needs of the USSR and the

Dr. Neal s. Gamon and his nine-year-old daughter, Georgette, look over items the Peru State president brought home from his month-long inspection tour of educational institutions in the soviet Union. Georgette, a Finnish peasant girl's dress, is holding a doll in the same costume. Her father also brought her dolls from Scotland, Denmark, and Russia. On the table is Dr. Gomon•s seal skih cap, purchased in Finland, a Russian stamp collection, and a collection of "Hero Medals.'

Communist doctrine rather than the needs of the individual. Education, Youth OrganizaFalrs, Museums, publications, posters, in fact all things and all efforts are designed primarily to indoctrinate the individual with the glorification and the supreme importance of the State and his duties as a citizen of that State.

The people of the USSR are a conf ide':lt people. They believe their cultural her1combined with their political and economi.c system will bring them the greatest happiness, prosperity and well-being of any peoples.on this earth. This in their '9rganization' makes any 1nconven1ence temporary and easy to accept. Many Soviet citizens recognize the USSR is far below the USA standard of living, but seem unanimously confident the Soviet will soon catch up and surpass the American standards.

1he Soviet performing arts are without anywhere in the world. The opera, ballet, drama, circus (vaudeville) surpassed anything seen anywhere by members of our tour group, yet the creative arts were as nothing__. Contemporary arts seem non-existent. Even in the creation of consumer there was little aesthetic quality in desi.gn, no brightness of color or quality in workmanship.

Education has been known as an instrument of _freedon: In the USSR it appears to be serving a un1que purpose. People are emJtloyed and they are making progress economically, particularly in the construction of housing where large apartment projects ex( continued on next page)

Russian Education

__ A tip-off to the ?bJectives. __ the fact that structural steel is not used.in construction such as aparthospitals or schools. Rather it is chrected _to higher priority in the national appears be heavy construction and milrtary equipment. Education may be.serving the purpose of military and economic progress without freeing the mind.·

One may draw significant observations to the future of the American people by the unparalleled devotion of the Soviet state to education and its apparent success in the interplanetary uncharted world, but above all a ·studied observation confirms one salient fact: the school is designed for a single purpose, tl\e perpetuation and advancement of the communist state.

The Soviet educational program can be summarized in the following few statements by one of our tour members:

'In Russia I saw the master cooks of Kremlin mixing this recipe by which loyal communists are made:

'Take several million boys and girls. Dress them in-uniforms. Mix them carefully with a schooling prepared in the following manner:

'Separate the more serious and less attractive parts of the schooling from the parts that represent the natural interests of the child and the fun. Use the fun part as a reward for the satisfactory completion of the serious part. Place the fun part in the most attractive setting possible--preferable a former palace of the Tzar or one of his governors. Assign the youngest, most enthusiastic and most able teachers to the fun part after first making sure they are well indoctrinated with party philosophy and subject to its discipline. Charge them with responsibility for indoctrinating the young.

'Mix the with both parts of this schooling. Bake in· a trolled oven of superheated communist ideology and carefully rewritten history. Make sure that not a breath of other ideology or history enters the oven.

'Remove when the process is completed and top with a dressing -of slowly but steadily improving standard of living.

'Do ·not- allow the finished product to cool.•

A 19 - Year - Old Tradition

Martha Washington Tea

By Edna Weare, Professor Emeritus of Dome Economies,

Peru State

after the Conunencement May 31, 1940, five members of Kappa Omicron Phi, honorary home ec.onomics fraternity, left Peru with Miss Edna Weare, their sponsor and her siste.r, Eperva. With seven in the car, they were Qr.owded hut Their destination was Williamsburg, Va., where a National Conclave of the fraternity's delegates was to be held en the campus of William and Mary

The students were: Emma Rosicky, now Mrs •. K .• E. Phinney of Alameda, Calif.; Mari orie Kennedy• now Mrs. C. T. Dean of Long Beach, Calif.; Mary Horton, now Mrs. Farnsworth of Crawford, N. J.; Helen Wilberger, now Albert Schacht ·of Cook; and Catherine Erffmeier, now Mrs. Paul Schmidt, Mennoaite Central Committee, Akron, Pa. The Conclave began on June 4 and lasted ti·ll noon, .June 8.

Witkcareful budgeting, the group was able travel on to Washington, D. C. and to New York City for the World's Fair, before heading hack to Peru after the .conclave. While at Washington there was a visit to Mt. Vernon. It was in a small museum there that they read the recipe, "How to Make a Great Cake", and copied it. to bring back as a souvenir. The recipe had been copied for Martha Washington by Martha Custis, her granddaughter.

Back home members wished that they could try the recipe, but it was so that they could think of no occasion until someone suggested a tea. A silver tea was decided upon, with the hope that the silver would pay for the ingredients. Invitations were sent to persons who might be interested. The cake, weighing thirty-five pounds, was served on February 27, 1941, to seventy guests, at what was considered one of the nicest social events of the year.

Many guests asked to buy some of the cake to take home with them, and so all the cake was used. The next year the recipe was doubled, and small cakes were made to sell.

The cake has been served at the tea every year since that time, except one, during World War II, when sugar was strictly rationed and other ingredients very scarce. At first it was baked in tiers and frosted with a light glaze. Since that time, with the greater interest in cake decorating, many decorative schemes have been used, including elaborate and beautiful, well as tasty.

Doubtless, several thousands of people, in Nebraska and neighboring states, have been served from these cakes baked in the Peru State home economics department. When Kappa Omicron Phi was disbanded in 1946, the Home Economics Club took over the event.

PERU STATE•s 1960 -EDITION OF MARTHA

Sports at Peru Bobcat Cagers Land Third in N.C.C.

Coach Jack Mcintire's roundhallers placed third in the Nebraska College Conference behind Nebraska Wesleyan and Wayne. Pre-season dopesters had picked the Bobcats to be a repeat conference crown winner. In conference play the Bobcats scored 14 wins against 4 losses, and turned in a 19-7 overall record.

The high scoriHg Bobcats once again smashed the school icoring record as ihey thumped Doane 118 to 58 on the home maples January 23. This broke the old record of 110 scored against Kearney the previous year.

For the third consecutive season the Bobcats took part in the District XI playoffs to determine the representative for the NAIA tournament at Kansas City. The Peruvians met Wayne State at Wayne where the 'Cats suffered one of their coldest nights at the baskets to go down in defeat 56-71.

<Ally two will he missing next year when Coach Mcintire calls practice. They will be all-conference center Bob Mayo and second team all-conference forward Chuck Francis, who will be graduated in May. The pair led the club in scoring and rebounding.

Peru State's Jack Mcintire Heads NAIA Coaches Group

Jack Mcintire, head basketball coach, was elected pres:ident of the N.A.I.A. Coaches Association at the National Association of Inter -Collegiate Athlet_ics convent.iof! and basketball tournament in Kansas City in March.

A member of the Peru State coaching staff for the past four years, Mcintire has guided his Bobcat cagers to one Nebraska College Conference championship and to one co-championship. His 1959-60 Bobcat team placed second behind a two-way tie for first.

In 1957, Mcintire was named by the NAIA to the Helms Athletic Hall of Fame, Los Angeles. He was the second member of the Peru State Athletic department to he so honored. Alfred G. Wheeler, director of athletics. was selected for the honor in 1956. Omer Meeker, Santa Maria, Calif., coach, who is a 1951 graduate of Peru State, became the third Peruvian named to the Hall of Fame.

Mrs. Francis (Muriel Schaf{er) Reichardt, 2-yr. '35, resides at 26 South Denver 9, Colo., where she teaches fifth grade in College View school. The Reichardts have three children.

Good Fortune Sn.11° les P · " on . eruvians

State Basketball Tournament time found five Peru with teams represented at the annual Lincoln event. Only the University of Nebraska, with six coaches, had a greater representation.

The Peruvians and their teams included: Bob Henderson, '40, Falls Don Bornschlegl, '53, Norfolk; Merle tlauer, 'SO Holdrege; Ron Wagner, '54, Syracuse, and Holscher, '57, Wakefield.

Three Spring Agenda on Sports

As the Peru Stater goes to press, three spring sports are underway on the Gampus of a Thousand Oaks. Baseball, track, and tennis are on the agenda.

The failure of a number of 1959' s track team members to report has dimmed hopes for a repeat of last year's successes. Ron Callan, who broke school records in the 440 880,and mile an<l ran the anchor leg of th; record setting mile relay team has passed up the as has Ross Pilkington, who placed second in the N.C.C. conference meet in broad jump.

Peru s only meet to date ended in a loss to Washburn of Topeka in a dual encounter. weather hampered early workouts in all sports, hut track was especiallv Fans. an_d Coach Jerome are counting on winning performances from a good crop of newcomers.

Coach Darrell Wininger's tennis team lost their first match to Creighton University 4-3. With seven matches and the conference meet yet on tap, the tennis team is expected to win from at least half of their remaining opponents.

On the diamond, Al Wheeler's charges have broken even on two doubleheaders splitting with St. Benedict's and of Seward.

Tom Goldenstein, fs '39, is field engineer for .the .Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph company in Lincoln. The Goldensteins reside at 4044 Garfield street, Lincoln 10.

Merna Jensen, '38, teaches seventh and eighth grades at Comenius school in Omaha where her address is 3302 boulevard.

Frank Kerner, '30, has completed his eighth year in the school system at Fort Morgan, Colo., where he is the head of the industrial arts department of the high school. After 25 years, he has retired from coaching. His home is at 730 Lake.

Mrs. Mabel (Zajicek) Novak, '32, resides at Wilbur where she is teaching in the second grade. The Novaks have a son and a daughter.

Many Peruvians Have Supported '60 Foundation Fund -

Despite the excellent response to the 1960 Peru Foundation Fund appeal letters. we have the feeling that many Peruvians with good intentions have neglected sending in their 1960 contribution.

Ofte such Peruvian told a long-time faculty member at a professional meeting that the envelope for the mailing of her contribution was ready and waiting on her desk ••• and that she "would answer that letter from Perur

Early response following the mailing was really astoumlin_g--in one week more than $500 was received. Through April 24, alunmi lta:ve amounted to $2, 007. This, we feel, is a a.ood start for 1960.

A. story on this eage tells of some of the results of your gift--the one you have sent or a.re planning to send. The trustees of the Foundation in outlining these activities did so with the wishes of the alumni contributors in mind.

Your gift of as little as one dollar will make you a part of Peru State and its future growth!

attend college. During 1960 the Foundation will continue this work through scholarships and student loan activities.

Peru State will benefit from a new Foundation project--that of assisting with the furnishing of the new Student Center. The Trustees at their April meeting voted to provide furnishings for the dining room in the new Student Center 1n the amount of $1,000. An appropriate plaque will be placed in the Center describing the Foundation's part in the furnishings.

Six scholarships from gifts of alumni and friends will be available for the 196061 academic year. Five will be $100 one-year scholarships for new·and returning students, while the sixth will be a $100 one-year scholarship to be awarded to a senior student and which will be known as the Charles Memorial Scholarship. Funds for the senior year scholarship are from investment income derived from gifts contributed by members of the class of 1906 in the name of their classmate, the late Charles Weigand.

The Foundation trustees voted to provide matching funds for the National Defense Student Loan yrogram for the.one-year period beginning Ju y 1, 1960. Under the program the institution is required to match the federal grant in the amount of the one-ninth. The Foundation has provided funds for the current period.

Cornerstone Cerelllony for A. V. Larson Hall

. The cornerstone for the new $500,000 arts building at Peru State Teachers College was laid Monday, April 25, by the Grand Lodge AF & AM of Nebraska under the direction of W. M. Joseph C. Tye, Kearney, Grand Master. Honored guest at the 2:_30 p.m. ceremony was A. V. Larson, for 32 years a member of the Peru State faculty and for whom the building is named.

Dr. William A. Brandenberg, president of Wayne State Teachers College and Grand grand orator, paid tribute to the retired Peru State educator. Mr. Larson served Peru State from l926.until his retirement at the close of the 1958 Sumner Session.

In his remarks Dr. Brandenburg said:

"When the students enter this new building it will be already old in traditioDi· It will have the tradition of this which will soon be a century old and the tradition surrounding and emanating from a man. The influence of Mr. Larson is hard to measure. It does not end with the bell at the close of the class, the close of the semester or graduation. ·

"Wherever his students go they wi 11 carry of him with them. There is no end to the influence of a good teacher," he continued.

The ceremonies included the insertion of a time capsule in the cornerstone. Among the items included were a Bible, the signatures of the entire student body, faculty

Normal Board Okays Long-Range Plans for Peru State Expansion

'Ibe Board of Education for State Normal Schools has approved a long-range 2lan for future physical facilities at Peru State as submitted by the Colorado State College Educational Planning Service of Greeley. The report culminated a two-year study of facility needs at the four State Teachers Colleges.

Top priority for Peru State is a new Campus School, which will be built in 1963. Upon recommendation of the report, the College has acquired 37.5 acres of farm and grazing land from Barbara Majors (Mrs. William) Davenport, '92, as a site for the new structure. The acreage adjoins the campus to the west.

Upon completion of a new school, the present campus school will be remodeled in 1965 to serve the needs for basic classroom areas, staff offices, homemaking, business education, art and speech. Other priority listings include remodeling of the administration building to accommodate required administrative functions, leaving a classroom or two available 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.

In submitting the report, Dr. Leonard Walsh of the planning service indicated that the critical needs of the four State Teachers College could be met during the· next ten years, assuming income from the state-wide building fund levy would continue at the present rate of income. Currently, the Board receives approximately $850,000 a year from the fund.

With the awarding of the contracts for the two-story Student Center and a threestory south wing additipn to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence hall in mid-March, Peru State's Sl.3 million building program is now· in full swing.

All four present projects underway on the Campus of a Thousand Oaks are scheduled for completion in time _·f.or. occupanc.Y in September..t 1960. It was originally J:>elieved that the A. D. Majors men's residence hall would be ready for use for the 1960 Summer Session, but a two-week work stoppage caused by a labor dispute has made this impossible.

General contracts awarded in March went to the Thomas Construction Co., St. Joseph, Mo. ,builders of :the other projects underway.

· fourth is A. y. Larson ..Industrial Arts building which will house all industrial arts areas of instruction.

Not only will it space for the present offerings in industrial arts, but also wiTl make it possible to expand offerings in general mechanics, electricity and electronics, arts and crafts and to add instruction in arts and

The 170 by 80 ft. main section of the Student Center will have eight concrete coluD11s along each side. A glass-walled balcony overlooking a southern terrace will he featured on the south side of the structure. The ground floor area will include a kitchen, book store, television room snack bar, game room and offices for student publications. On the first floor will be lounge, faculty room, offices, and a dining room of 300 capacity.

The south wing addition to Eliza Morgan Women's Residence hall will include a study room and acco1I1Dodations for 18 coeds.

Twenty 1910ers Return for Reunion

Twenty members of the 40th graduating class returned to the Campus of a Thousand Oaks Sunday, May 22, for their SO-year class reunion. Special recognition was given to the honored guests at the 90th annual Baccalaureate services at 4 p.m.

Of the 174 graduated during the year 1910, 35 have been reported deceased and the whereabouts of 63 are unknown. The 20 members traveled a total of 5,968 miles one-way to be present for the day's activities.

Dr. Alexander J. Stoddard, class president of the 1910 class, was speaker for the college's 90th Commencement Friday morning. The former superintendent of the Los Angeles city schools was presented Peru State's first Distinguished Educational Service Award. (See page 3).

A majority of the returnees had devoted their adult lives to the profession for which they were educated at Peru--teaching. Arthur Gilbert, Johnson, has the longest teaching record with 49 years. Dr.Stoddard's teaching service totals 47 years.

Only one returnee has not taught. He is Dr. R. D. Cole, Falls City, who entered Cre.ig_hton Dental College upon graduation from Peru. Other occupations followed by the reunion attendants included: implement and feed business, farming, county official, librarian, insurance, hotel, cattle business, dietitian, ranch and plantation manager,

Reunion activities started with a 10 a.m. coffee hour and class meeting, which featured the roll call and greetings from absent Neal S. Gomon, Peru's president,and Fred A. Rothert, Peru Achievement Foundation president, extended greetings at the 1 p.m. luncheon.

The member of the class who devoted her entire teaching career to her alma mater was unable to attend. She is Nona Palmer, Bradshaw professor emeritus of commerce, who Peru State from 1915 until 1950. In conveying her greetings, Miss Palmer noted:

"You will find little on the campus that looks familiar, but one thing never changes--the loyalty and de"."otion that former students all have for their school and for one another. One of the very rewarding exEeriences of my is that wherever I go I meet former Peruvians.

"The changes that have been wer:e inevitable. It was inevitable that, in this automobile age parking lots had to replace the woodsy and roadsides where we gathered ferns and dog violets for our botany collections.

"Today you have found an up-to-date progressive institutiori. Peru,_ as of old, is outstanding in its field and is, as always, worthy of our pride and devotion:'

'60 Foundation Fund Year Nears End

Greater Participation Needed in Foundation Sztpport

In less than three months the 1960 Peru Achievement Foundation fund drive will end. Its success will be measured in two ways.

As of SeR_tember 22, $2777 .90 had been contributed by 374 Peruvians. While the first figure is important in terms of the amount of support that can be given to the College in terms of dollars, we feel that the second figure is even more significant.

In the Spring and this issue of the Peru Stater 1 are listed the names of Peruvians who have de·monstra ted their devotion to and belief in the College, which one graduate credited with having been 1'the most important single influence in my life.''

On page 12 is reported just one of the functions of the Foundation this year. In
