School will be- 'dismissed at noon on Thursday, October 12, to take pictures of all organizations for the 1962 Peruvian. Shooting will start at 1:00 p.m. in the college auditorium and will continue un ti! all pictures of organizations have been made. It is not possible to publish a shooting schedule at this time because some groups have not yet organized and elected officers for the year. A schedule will be sent to sponsors and officers of organizations as soon as possible. Mr. J. D. Levitt will be official photographer and will process all film for the' organization section of this year's book. Departing from the procedure of taking pictures in the Music Hall and the main auditorium at the same time as in former years, the staff has decided to have pictures made one group at a time in the main auditorium. This procedure will consume more time but will avoid conflicts. Experience has demonstrated that following the old procedure it is impossible to schedule students for organization pictures w i th o u t having numerous conflicts.

Dorm, Library Remodeling, New Ca~s School Figure In Future Plans

Authority to seek financingfor a third men's; dormitory on the campus of Nebraska State Teachers; College at Peru will be requested at an early meeting of the Board of Education of State Normal Schools, according to President Neal S. Gomon. Overcrowded conditions in present facilities plus evidences of continued growth of student population points to adtiitional living space for single men students. Although Majors Hall for men was opened in the fall of 1960, it is now filled to capacity cf 90 men and Delzell Hall with a normal capacity of 145 will be overloaded with some 170 men requiring three men in some rooms although two to a room is considered normal occupancy. Some space in Morgan Hall for women may be unused during the 1961-62 school year although

90 pereent occupancy is expected in this 185-bed facility. If enrollment trend;, continue this dormitory may be filled to capacity by the fall of 1962. Preliminary estimate of need for single men points to a facility which will house from 12.5 to 150 men a:t a probable capital outlay of from $325,000 to $375,000. Dormitory and o th er housing facilities are financed by revenue bonds and are not an obligation from tax or institutional cash monies. Plans for the renovation of the College Library are now being developed by the architectural firm of Clark and Enersen, Lincoln. It is hoped actual work on this $150,000 project can begin no later than February 1, 1962, with completion by September 1, 1962. During actual construction

time most of the library materials will be stored, with a small circura ting library established in one of the other college buildings. The art department, now located on the second floor of the library, will be moved! permanently to a wing on the first floor of the T. J. Majors. Ca mp us School building. The drama department will be temporarily housed! in the A. V. Larson In~ dustrial Arts building. Construction of a new campus school, for which a site has been purchased but no immediate plans contemplated, may need to be moved up in t1i.e priority list of buildings on the campuses of the four state teachers college, to provide more suitable space for the elementary and high school grades and to give additional space for college classes in t he present cam.~~s school building.

By Jo Ann Frerichs Thursday evening, Sept. 14, the curtain w~'. up on the eighth annual Vamety Show produced by Mr. J. D. Levitt. Each act was introduced during a telephone conversation held by Steve Parker and Carol McLain. The program opened with a square dance consisting of students and faculty members. Dr. and Mrs. Wininger, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Pat Rathe, Jim Mayo, Connie Dietl, and Ernest Howard did a "Virginia Reel." Rita Retkovis .accompanied herself on the steel guitar while she sang "Her Name.'s Written There." Marilyn Bleach, Sharon Richardson, Janice Maybee, Dale Devoe, Virginia Grossman, Margaret Slayter, Shirley Talley, and Elaine Naber joined Rita in singing "Let Me Go, Peru" and "Sentimental Journey." A salute to our fiftieth state was given by vocalists Russell Workman and Eugene Walden singing "Lovely Hula Hands"; hula dancers Karen Workman, Janice Jones, Beth Timmerman, Leigh Smith, Penny Hays, Ellen Harris, and Ruth Rulla; and tumbler Don Clark. A special attraction of the eveing was presented by President Gomon. He played two piano solos, one of which was his own composition. The other number was the well known selection "St. Louis Blues." President Gomon also appeared in the Variety Show five years ago. The heavy applause proved that he didn't grow "rusty" during his "leave of absence." A musical baton act was given by Ardith Pratt. It consisted of fancy stepping and baton twirling. Phyllis Mosley sang "Without a Song." Phyllis was accompanied by Carol SudikLonn Pressnall gave the humorous routine "Speaking of Girls." The appropriate subjects of his act were women, girls, and females. Sounds of laughter and applause were frequently heard during Lonn's novel act. Jim Hurst accompanied himself and Al Wetenkamp on the guitar to "Sweeter Than You" and "There'll Never Be Anyone Else Like You."

During the scoreless first half, each team engineered one scoring threat. Coach Allen Zikmund's Antelopes smashed! to the Peru 14 late in tile first quarter, before being stopped. Early in the second stanza, Peru mustered! a drive which fizzled out at the Kearney five-yard line. Kearney managed one 1a st scoring drive late in the third quarter marching from their own 20 to the Peru 29 with about one minute remaining. The offensive was stopped dead! when on a fourth down and three situation, Kearney elected to go fo,r the three yards with an end sweep. Defensive end Gary Hodge, Boys Town, threw the Kearney runner for a three-yard loss. Line play was outstanding. Mike Ramirez, Omaha; ,Don Ho1bart, Kamiah, Idaho; Ken Dostal, Scribner; and Dean Stapleton, Council Bluffs, Iowa, were more than great for the home standing Bobcats.

why it is going to be a tough job unseating it as NCC title holder. Although outgained 83 yards on the ground, (147 to 64) Peru countered with an aerial attack which, netted it 99 yards. The winners held the Antelopes to 59 yards in the air. Peru scored: on a 27-yard pass play from Bob Gibson to John Moore. Dick Pla<:e wnverted the extra point. The sicoring in the third period climaxed a 78~yard ·TD drive by the victors. Another pass, a 25-yard play from Ron Kelley to Gary Randles, helped spark the Bobcat drive.

"B" Team Win The B-team version of the Bobcats also started its season the right way, capturing a 13-8 victory over Highland Junior. College from Highland, Kansas. It appears winning is a catching disease at Peru State. Let's hope the "bug" sticks, around the school for years to come, b u t more particularly throughout the coming school year. ·Red Helmet John Moore, who sparked! the winning attack by scoring the only touchdown in the Kearney game, is a standout in another sense. He is the only Bobcat varsity player who has to wear a red helmet. None of the Peru helmets are large enough for him, so he wears his own.

ated. When yells were led, the noise echoed into the n i g ht. When chants were started, everyone joined in, and never gave up, although at times it seemed useless. All these characteristics combined to help bring the Bobcats a victory. If this sort of enthusiasm continues, every one on campus has a great future to look forward to as a Peru Stater.

oJIPQ~ty to view the work of a man who has· become a. living legend in our time when the Cleveland Play Ho1:1se presents SMn O'Casey's" "Pictures in the Hallway" October 24 at 8:15 p.m. at the Peru State auditorium. This dramatization by Paul Shyre is based on the second volume of •'heautlrully perceptive auto~hieal novels by the gifted Irish firebrand. The titles derives from O'Casey's explanation that "the hallway of every man's life is paced with pictures; pictures gay and pictures gloomy, all useful, for if we be wise we can learn from them a richer way to live." The tragicomic "Pictures in the Hallway" tells in lyric prose about O'Casey's boyhood in th e slums of Dublin where, as a proud lad, he learns about the cruelty of poverty, the ironies of politics, the frailities of the church and the high altars of literature. The theme of the play is man: his hopes, fears, joys, sorrows and-most of allhis belief in the future. It is abounding in earthly humor, eloquent tragedy and sheer poetry. O'Casey's bittersweet memories float through the dramatization as he describes, in a disarming fashion, the thoughts, opinions, and experiences of the sensitive lad who grew up to become a famous writer. O'Casey's s tag e counterpart never gets quite enough to eat or enough to satisfy his amazing thirst for knowledge. His first job is primarily a lesson in t h e theft of soap and beeswax from his employer's stockroom, so that he might ease the hardships at home. He also learns to withhold a few pennies from his meager wages in order to buy the books he wants. And in "two engaging and tasteful episodes, he e v e n learns about sex. The works of O'Casey have received many productions at the 46-year-old C 1eve1 and Play House, where the repertory in(Continued on page two)

By Judy Boddye Snooping around in the library, I found three books that may interest a few Peruvians.

If your taste in. literature leans toward history, The Conquisia· dors by Jean Descola would be worth reading. It is the story of the Spanish conquest of the New World in all of its v'-i o 1e:n c e, greediness, brutality, and heroism.· Such names as Columbus, Cortes, Pizzaro, Coronado, Ponce de Leon, and DeSota are linked in a panorama that · forms the backdr6p to our history. · Some of the special features of the book are full page illustrations. maps, and tables. The author, being a European historian, has written from a point of view that brings out the relation beone must be a junior or senior in Perutween Old World events and Harry says, "Prosperity is and those of the New World. at least the upper fifth of his class and planning to make edu- something we feel, fold, a n d If the tension and· suspense of send to Washington." .~ cation his vocation. war stories appeal to you, The Mission by Dean Brelis should be at the top of your reading list.

In an artiple entitled "O'Casey's Credo," the playwright recently wrote: "';['he first thing I try to do is to make a play live; live as a part of life and live in its own right as a work of drama.

Crippled 'Cats Hold Doane In 0-0 Thriller

LET'S BE FRANK

By Frank Bostic Peru State's unbeaten, b u t once-tied, Bobcats have had their hands full in their last two football outings against Nebraska College· Conference foes. But, the Bobcats were able to handle Hastings' Bronchos,...._ 14-0, an d managed a scoreless tie with Doane's fighting Tigers. The Bobcats used second half touchdowns by quarterback Bob Gibson and halfback Gordon Ohnoutka to down Hastings on its own field. The Broncho offense constantly threatened the Bobcat goal line during the first half, but became the third foe to find the "Big Blue" defense too much to penetrate. · Doane's underrated Ti g er s threw a real scare at the Bobcats on Peru's home field, but they too found the Bobcats too hard to hanelle, defensively. Doane made the only real scoring threat in the contest in the first quarter, moving to within six inches of a touehdown, before it lost the ball on downs. No other offensive ·charges by either team came clo_se to scoring territory. Peru's "B" team f~otballers absorbed their first season seF back at the Oak Bowl recently, dropping a spirited 26-9 battle to Maryville, Missouri College. The Bobcats held a 9-7 advantage at halftime, but were unable to stop the hard charging victors. The game was marred by plenty of penalties, as both teams' tern~ pers flared constantly. The loss lkft Peru with a 1-1 season mark.

'i'he Majors Hall touch football

team has been taking to the gridiron every Tuesday and Thursday during October. Two games have been played and lost, but the future promises different things. Under the coaching of Chuck Caverzagie, the Majors men have lost to both Delzell and the 'Independents. Rumors have it that there. is going to be a change in the coaching staff unless things start looking better. Duane Elliott suffered a broken arm during the first football game. Duane had a little trouble getting used to the cast and is now considering playing intramural volley ball. Many of the residents are feeling "in the dumps" after, rec~iv ing their flu shots. Some say that the shot is worse than a week of the flu. Gordon Ohnoutka should be congratulated upon receiving the World-Herald! honorable mention for "player of the week" award. During the World Series t h e T.V. room was the center of attraction in the dorm. Many arguments were heard as the boys cheered on their favorites. Gary Stover has contracted the job of taking care of the pop machine this year. Gary says that the members of the dorm con~ sume much more liquid refreshment· than he had anticipated upon taking the job.

By Roger Smith Injury-ridden Peru State ran into a fired up football team from Doane College Saturday night and had to settle for a scoreless tie. The deadlock placed the only blemish on the Bobcat season and brought their record to four wins and one tie. Peru's Bobcats, missing' the services of tackle Ken Dostal, end Gary Randles, and getting only part-time service from quarterback Bob Gibson, almost saw its goal line crossed for the first time in loop play. Late ·in the first qua it er, Deane's Ron Barker set up a fir.st down on the Peru 6-yard 1 in e with a stunning 33-yard run. Peru's great goal line defense went to work and held the line plunges of Ron Barker and Marvin Drevo to take over on their own six- · inch line. Doane's first quarter touchdown bid saw the end of real scoring threats as the two teams battled at midfield through th e remainder of the game.

BSquad Loses To Maryville 26-9

Each team tried to break the scoreless duel via the field goal route. Midway in the third quarter, Doane's Marvin Drevo booted an attempt from the Peru 40, but it fell short. Peru's attempt came late in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats had taken over the ball on their own 33-yard line with 3:48 remaining in the contest. In the next three minutes they had driven to Deane's 24 when time and downs ran out. Leonard Kinser, attempted the field goal from the 30, but the kick was wide and short of the goal posts.

The Peru State B squad suffered their first setback of the season Monday afternoon, Oct. 2, at the hands of the Maryville Tigers, 26-9 . Maryville took the opening kickoff and scored on a 25-yard run around end. The extra point was good, and Peru was down 7-0. In the closing minutes of the first quarter, Bill Tynon recovered a Marysville fumble and returned to the 8-yard line. After · three downs Jailed. to produce a score, Leonard Kinser kicked a 22-yard field goal for the Bobcats. As the first quarter ended, the score stood at 7,3 in favor of Maryville. Peru rallied in the s e c o n d quarter to go ahead on a 9-yard pass play from Bill Tynon to · Gary Hodge. The touchdown was set up on a 69-yard pass play from Bill Tynon to Barney Mcilvoy. The kick failed and Peru lead 9-7. Maryville promptly took the kickoff and marched 89 yards for the score. The kick was good and Maryville lead again 14-9.

Curious Attracted By Windmill

By Bob Bueiigenbach

In the Industrial Arts Building showcase there is an instrument which is worth observing. On the inside of the glass is a m e t a 1 plate which, when to u ch e d through the glass, operates a windmill inside. The windmill is a capacity operated relay, operated on th e prindple of a tuned circuit. Whenever any object nears th e plate, it changes the capacity of the circuit which upsets the balance of the tuned circuit, which in turn causes the switch to become activated. At the date of this writing the circuit had been disturbed 1,085 times. by curious passersby. The gadget was put together by Don Hobart, Larry Vice, and Lester Russel. This unit was originally planned to be taken to Brownville to be shown as a novelty.

'LIB!tARY COLUMN By Judy Boddye In the library I've noticed there are many books concerning the Civil War and some of itsfamous people. Because this year is the Civil War Centennial, I'd like to suggest the following three books to anyone interested. The first book, Campaigns of the Civil War, is -one of a series of seventeen volumes that were written by participators in and authorities on the war. These volumes were published 25 years after the war and have since become basic history of the campaigns of the national crisis. Cam!)aigns of the Civil War, was written by John G. Nicolay, private secretary to President Lincoln. In his book he makes a clear and factual story of the beginning, the first mistakes, t h e successes, and the early enthusiasm of both sides. Nicolay describes the events in an on-thespot style that became his trademark in writing. A few incidents included in the book are: the seizure of Harper's Ferry, the attacks on Charleston harbor and Fort Sumter, and some of the political movements of Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Truman Nelson's, The Survei, or; is the story,of the£iril,War John Brown in Kansas. The au thor spent six years doing r , search on Brown and explorin. Kiansas trails of Brown's battle ground. The book includes t~ story of how even the Free Sta , ers turnedi against him after h~ night of slaughter at Harper( Ferry. It brings to life the wa a man so possessed with an idie (Brown's was to keep Kansas ' free state) can not be stoppe . but must be killed. by Robert V. Bruce, is the kin. of book no one should start lat in the evening if he wants an sleep. It is an account of ho Lincoln proceeded to listen t any inventor, dluring the Civr War, who thought he could pro duce efficient weapons to a Union soldiers. This book includes somethin' new for even the specialist . Civil War history. The bobk: biggest merit is that it is . plain fascinating to read.

Cleveland Play House The Cleveland Play House presented "Pictures in the Hallway,'' a tragicomedy by Sean O'Casey, in the Aud!itorium on October 24. The curtain rose on a dark stage at 8:15. As the house lights faded, eight cast members filed on stage: Michael McGuire, Vaughn McBride, Adale O'Brien, Alan Lindgren, Sally Noble, Jo Ann Finnell, Susan Sadler, and Richard: Overland. The stage setting was quite unusual. Arranged across the stage were eight chairs and eight desks. In front of these props were two stools, whHe m o s t of the real action took place. The only background was a dark blue curtain. The action and style of the play reminded several of the audience members of a play by Thornton Wilder. A narrator filled the audience in on the background material on the characters, the environment, and the atmosphere. The players did not portray any orie certain character, but filled in for all the characters in the play, of which there is a total of .twenty. The stage was in complete darkness, and, as a player would speak his lines from the manuscript, the spotlight would be concentrated on him, and the others would be in a faint light. The theme of the play is man, his hopes, his joys, his sorrows, and his belief in the future. The curtain was not pulled after the second and final part. The spotlights simply faded, as th e players received several curtain calls and then walked off stage.

addition, films of the represented campuses would be shown. A committee, comprised of the Kappa Delta Pi executive board and SGA representatives, met in the campus school to work out details for the local level. It was generally agreed that several organizations on campus should submit suggestions for possi:ble team members. Each of the following organizations will be asked to submit the names of at least two representatives from that organization: Sigma Tau Delta, Phi Alpha Theta, MENC, Alpha Mu Omega, Beta Beta Beta, Foreign Language Club,' Epsilon Pi Tau, and Kappa Delta Pi. In addition, the various division heads and the results of freshman entrance tests will be consulted. Volunteers are urged to submit their names. It should be stressed that members of the team need: not have a high grade point average. Quick recall and the ability to stand up under pressure are very important assets. All volunteers, i;epresentatives of the above-nan{ed organizations, those suggested by division heads, and high ranking freshmen will be given a chance to prove the~ abilities in practice sessions'."7hese practice sessions shall begin on campus during the first week in December. If this program carries through, it is hoped that the student bodry will give its full-fledged support. Peru has an opportunity to prove its academic potential, w hi ch might well match its athletic prowess.

Homecoming Dance The finale of the Peru's 1961 Homecoming was the Homecoming Dance, s1onsored by the S.G.A. The theme of the Homecoming, "Proverbs of Our Time," was carried out in the decorations. The gym was decorated by the S.G.A. with cartoon characters and proverbs. The dance began by the pre-

For the s e c on d consecutive year, the Industrial Arts Club has won first prize in the Homecoming display contest. Their display for this year was unique in being the only display showing motion, and it showed a great deal of work. The group used the slogan, "Out of the frying pan, into the fire." On a white platform sat a huge black frying pan, representing Panhandle A & M. From the skillet, two football dolls jumped continually into a pit of red fire. The d o 11 s were on a revolving bar. Th e committee in charge of this display was headed by two members of the club, Bruce Francey and Ed Hohman. Should the Industrial Arts Club win first prize again next year, a permanent,. plaque will be awarded. The organization was vying for its third consecutive win in the 1953 Homecoming, but was held to second place by the freshman class. Secon~)lace was awarded to MENC, an organization of students commonly interested in music. The organization adopted the proverb,. "He who undertakes too much, accomplishes little." A miniature football field was laid out. Blue and red notes represented the drooping Panhandle players, while sprightly blue and whites notes represented the Bobcats.. The contest was refereed by black- a n d whitestriped base clefs. Kappa Delta Pi, education honorary, was awarded third place. "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn" was the proverb used by this group. This slogan was placed on a black background, cater-corner from the emblem of the organization. A second black sign displayed the words, "Beta Mu Welcomes You." The theme for the 1961 Homecoming displays was "Proverbs for our Times." Nineteen organizations built displays.

It was a sad day for Homecoming day fans at Peru as their Peruvians saw the tables turned on them. In the final game of a season which had seen Peru State play the role of an opportunist time and time again, Panhandle took advantage of the breaks to roll up the win.

After receiving his degree, he taught at Red Oak High for two years. Mr. Pilkington then moved to Stockton, California, where he taught biology and was track coach. While at Stockton, he also attended the University of the Pacific. He received his M.A. from this university. Mr. Pilkington tlien returned to Iowa for a year to work on his Ph.D at the State University of Iowa. While he was attending State University, he coached at University High. Th,e Pilkingtons moved to California, and last year Mr. Pilkington was associate professor of physical education at the University of the Pacific. While at the University of the Pacific, he taught theory and activity courses. Mr. Pilkington is teaching principles of physical education, health education, and physical education a c t i v i t y courses. He is also, helping coach football.

The lull after college homecoming gives a person a chance to recapitulate the hectic days of October. The hi school homecoming the middle of the month was very satisfactory-rousing p e p rally and bonfire with HS supervisors leading a cheer, then jr hi overwhelming Johnson in football and cheering. Displays were clever (junior class, as usual, won); t~am played a great game beating Table Rock; and then the dance with Carolyn F and Keith M reigning (and jr hi did get invited to the dance!). Then the return jr hi game with Johnson proved my contention that this level football is the best entertainment offered. Apparently the college boys agreed since they were out in force to witness our Cubs take the game with finesse and talent. And those cheerleaders put hi school and college to shame-their yell that begins with a wild shriek must have startled the Halloween spooks who showed unusual activity in a well-behaved manner this year.

All-Alumni Luncheon Part Of Homecoming

Small boy's graphic description, to his mother, of the Israelites' departure from E g y p t : "They took all their furniture and stuff and everything was going good until they came to a big body of water and they couldn't get across. "But their troop captain was a man named Moses who was very bright, so he called all his Army Engineers and mechanics together and they builded a big pontoon bridge across the big lake which was called Red because some Russians lived on one shore. "But just as all the Moses people got to the middle of the bridge they looked back and saw the Egyptians were after them in tanks. This was bad and it looked like they would be swamped. "But again Moses the Scoutmaster knew what he was doing. He radioed back for the air support and the jet planes, -came roaring through the sky and bombed the Egyptians and the people got over the big water and knocked the Russians out of their camps and went on to the Promised Land."

One hundred and nine alumni were honored at a lune eon Nov. 4, 1961, at Peru's 40 Homecoming. Special honor w paid to the alumni who gradua ed in the years ending in "1" "6." Tables were reserved for ~h honored Peruvian alumni. Dr. Gomon extended the greet ings and gave the announce men ts.

Let's FoUow Student Center Rules We moved into our new Student Center in January of this year. This building is the show case of our college, completely furnished with the newest, most modern furnishings. Rules and regulations were set up so that this building might be well preserved and function properly. When we break these rules and regulations, we are directly or indirectly causing damage to the building. As most of us know, food is not to be taken into any area other than the snack bar and cafeteria. Also the television room is equipped with very nice chairs whi~h are not made to be used for footstools. · It appears that the furnishings in the lounge are being damaged by carelessness or by deliberate destruction. We have waited over ninety-four years for a Student· Center, so let's take care of the fine building that took so long to get. Let's keep this building what it is-the pride of Peru. . · There is no reason for this destruetion if the rules and regulations governing the. Student Center are followed. If continual abuse persists, we will be deprived of the use of certain areas in the Student Center. Student Center Board.

NOTES .FROM ·MAJORS

LIBRARY COLUMN By Judy Boddye

By Tom Aitker1

Darrel Wright is the only Majors Hall representative in the student teacher ranks this semester. Darrel, a senior majoring in mathematics, is doing his student teaching at Tecumseh. With the hunting season in full swing, many of the Majors men have been trying to decrease the population of the Nemaha county wildlife. One of the more interesting troops to take to the fields and ponds consisted of Gary Sto_ver, Butch Whitfield\ and Dennis Hein. Heinie commented about the amou~t of quail in the county but complained of the poor shooting "eyes" of his partners. Midi-terms are now over and some of the residents are studyji\;g much harder for some reason or another. Many residents of the dorm have taken up the art of pipe smoking. Joe Perina and Howard Engberg have about twenty pipes in their room. Joe has been thinking about opening a pipe store in the dorm. All Majors men were eagerly anticipating the Thanksgiving vacation. In the next issue of the paper I shall relate some of the 1more interesting stories that filter through the dorm as the men return.

In the column this time, I would! like to bring to your attention the works of two of our current authors. "Nobody has time to listen to anyone, not even those who love you and would die for you. Your parents, your children, your friends: they have no time." So says Taylor Caldwell, author of

After nine weeks' grade reports, there will be quite a bit of competition for grades in Morgan. Each floor plans to divide into wings to compete with the smaller number of girls in ·the ' basement who had the highest grade point average in the dwm, a 5.99. Second floor was in second place with a 5.82, first floor was third with a 5.75, and third floor followed with a 5.33 G.P.A. More girls celebrating :Novem. ber birthdays are June Hunzeker, Eleanor Frandsen, Winni~ Sporer, Mary Lou Reid, and Frances Saunders. Congrat\llations, girls. Marriage must be a wonderful institution, because another en· gagement has been announced recently. Pat Shelly, Sidney, Ne· braska, and Richard Carlson, Falls City, Nebraska, plan to be married soon, but no wedding date has yet been announced. Another fire drill was carried out quite effectively at Morgan recently. A house meeting w a,s held after the drill in the living room, and plans were made for the Christmas Tea, for the Christmas packages sent to n e e d y homes, and for other future events. Many girls were sorry to hear Miss Bradley's news that Mrs. Fulton, the housemother at Morgan last year, had pas~ e d aw.ay recently. Mary Lynn Hannah's modern dancing has been the center of attraction at many parties in the dorm lately.

Bobcat wins over Wayne and Ne· braska Wesleyan, while Ramirez had his best game at Hastings. Kelley, who led all Bobcat scor~ ers for the season, chalked up his highest singl~ game point pro· duction against Chadron, scoring three times. Neal, who recovered a fumble against Wesleyan and turned it .into a score, and who picked up a blocked punt against Wayne and ran it back for a touchdown, is only a freshman. Place, who is just as effective on offense as defense, was cited for his steady season play. He totaled two. touchdowns against ChaclEon. Stapleton, like Place, was also selected because of his season-long consistency on defense.

w.as team captain last falL In basketball, the "Rowdy" one has directed the offense for the past three years, and potted more than his share of the points. He gets around amazingly f or all of his 180 pounds, and c an cover a good' thirdi of a regula· tion college floor without dribbling, with the ball in his possession. His prowess has netted him allstate and all-conference recognition each of the three years that he has lettered in football. In basketball he has been on the all-state and all-conference hon, or rolls each of four years. In. track· he has lettered two years, and is headed for his t!iird- letter in the spring sport as well as his tenth for the Pale Blue and the White. At present, Mcintire is working his way through school, running an eating establishment in the campus shops. He is a great competitor, and mentors Al Wheeler and Art Jones sincerely regret his graduation this spring. . They realize that it will be many years before another "Fighting Irishman" will come along that can come close to taking his place.

Because most of us have a pretty good knowledge of Jack Mcintire's great coaching record · here, we thought the above story from a 1941 Ped might show that Jack was also a very compe:tent hand when he was an under· graduate'. Peru has had few, if any, be:tier all around a:thletes than big Mac.

The Bobkittens completely overpowered the Elk Creek eight from the opening kickoff. The Bobkittens scored four of their touchdowns on the superlative passing of ace quarterback Dick Allgood. Plaudits also went for the superior running efforts of Tom Boatman and Lee Blankenship. Elk Creek's only touchdown came early in the thii:d when Richard Knippelmeyer turned a Prep fumble into a score.

Mcintire Discloses Secret ·Hobby April Fool Issue Pedagogian, 1941 "I'm not the muscle bound athlete that most students think for really I'm just a home-body." And thus Jack Mcintire exposed his true personality. Mac attributes his state-wide recognition as a first-rate athlete to the fact that he has developed beautiful hip action. Unbelievabl~ as it inay seem, Mac developed this hip-action when a boy by sitting at his mother's sewing machine, pedaling. The way Mac handles a football or basketball is largely due to his nimble fingers from. knitting, crocheting and basting. Coach Jones' comment, "That Mac, he's clever," is applicable to the nth degree.

Peruvian Debaters Return From Wayne

Campus School Chatter LIBBABY COLUMN By Judy Boddye Some good reading can be squeezed in between other college activities. here at Peru by taking advantage of · the papcli'" back books in the library. :i~u can select reading material by some of the finest authors a n d from the most outstanding novels of our time. Pulitzer-Prize winner, Thornton Wilder, author of the novel, The Bridge of San Luis Ray, and the play, Our Town, has a book called The Cab~a in paperback form at the library. "This is an unusual novel by a writer noted for the unusual." It is a story seen through the eyes of a young American of Puritan background living in Rome in the 1920's. The story is of the struggles of those who have no religion to survive in the world today. It is a modern story of good and evil. The Cabala is the title Thornton Wilder gave to his group of presentday pagans, talented: and wealthy aristocrats who have mysterious · influences in affairs of Church and State. "Fyod!or Dostoyevsky's passionate concern for people a n d his intense desire to grasp th e meaning of life led him to explore the secret depths of man's struggles and sins. No action or thought was ever too corrupt or too inhuman for his understanding. The Brof:hers Karamazov was his last and greatest work. This extraordfilary novel tells the dr~atic story of four brothers~ Dmitri, pleasure-seeking, impatient, unruly-Ivan, brilliant and morose-Alyosha, gentle, loving, honest-and Smerdyakov, s 1y, silent, cruel. Driven by intense passion, they become involved in the brutal murder of their o w n father, one of the most loathsome characters in all li terature,"-Manuel Komroff.

National Tests Given To P. E. Classes Peru State Teachers College's gymnastics and natural program classes have begun a series of tests which are part of the national testing program sponsored by the American Association for Health and: Physical Recreation. The tests, which consist of the 50-yard dash, 600-yard walk and run, sit-ups, pull-ups, standing broad jump, and shuttle run, will compare the students on Peru's campus with other college students across the nation. Mr. Pilkington, who is in charge of the testing program, related the purposes of the tests are to see· who at Peru will rate in the upper 80% of the nation in testing. A national norm for each test has been established, and Peru s tu dents' accomplishments wi11 be measured: by this. Pilkington is being assisted in the testing by Mr. Stemper, who is •co-teacher of the natural program dasses. ·

LIBRARY COLUMN By Judy Boddye

Dr. Michel Weiss .Prof. of Modern Languages

Everyone have, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year during his vacation. If your Christmas vacation isn't packed with plans and you have a little leisure time, why not check a book out of the library before ·you go home? If you'd like to curl up witha novel, try A Sense of Values by Sloan Wilson. Some of his other successful books are The Man In the Gray Flannel Suit, and A Summer Place. A Sense of Val· ues is the story of a man who, having achieved! great success and! suffered great personal failures, sits down and tries to make some sense out of his life and the world as he has seen it. The story is narrated by Nathan Bonet He tells of his "success" in 196G-the way he won it, and the impact of money a n d publicity on his entire family. In part, the chronicle is a moving love story; it is also a cry of despair, for it is an account of a sometimes happy, sometimes tortured marriage. The next book, by Adlai Stevenson, would be well worth the time spent in reading it. Friends and Enemies is the book for anyone who is looking for a concise run-down on the Soviet Empire today. It tells of the real threat, and a sound way to meet it. Stevenson's book is an astute and privileged observer's lively, authoritative, and notably shrewd report of what he learned during his recent 7,000-rnile journey through the Soviet Empire.

,Dr. Michel Weiss joined ·the !'eru s,tate's staff as foreign language professor Sept. 11, 1961. Born and reared in Luxembourg, he later attended the Uni,versity there. He furthered his education in the University of Munich, Germany, in the Univer~ity of Geneva, Switzerland, and in the University of Paris, :France.

Hruska Discusses Latin America And Foreign Aid By Judy Boddye United States Senator Roman L. Hruska spoke Wednesday, December 13, at the all-college convocation here at Peru. He discussed the S!ituation in South America and the foreign aid program, "Alliance For Progress,'' that will be put into action in the South American countries. Senator Hruska spoke of his recent traveling with other senators, through five countries in South America. He said, "The purpose of the trip was to see how each of these countries could be improved." He stated that they, " ... met with either the President or the Foreign Minister of each country and also had the pleasure of visiting their legislatures." The Nebraska senator reported that, "The Communist party was opei;-ating vigorously, with tremendous influence, and well-financed in each of the countries." Another point he brought out was that these South American countries are, " . . . . suffering immensely from inflation." Senator Hruska devoted part of his speaking time to answering questions that were handed to him before the convocation. One of the questions was, "What would Nixon have done by this time, had he been elected?" Among several answers, the senator said!, "The greatest improve'mnt Nixon would have made would be in the value of the dollar." Another question was, "What about the Peace Corps" and the / exchange of teachers?" Senator Hruska commented that, "I don't '.believe the membeIS of· the Peace Corps have enough training. 1 have serious misgivings about it. I hope that it works, I don't think it will, and if it does, what dent will it make in foeign affairs?" The studient body was invited to shake hands and greet t 'h e senator after the convocation.

Our recent snows have given the girls in Morgan reason to stay in the dorm over the weekend to catch up on studrying and make plans for the season's events,: the Christmas dance, the Messiah, Morgan's Tea, and Open House. Everyone seems to have "the spirit." Many of the girls1 joined!' in the "spirit of giving" by putting their names in the "Peanut and Shuck" grab-bag. One girl draws a name which will be her "Peanut." The girl who draws is the "Shuck" to the girl whose name was drawn. The "Shuck" secretly does various little tasks for her "Peanut" and leaves anonymous notes for the "Peanut." Each girl is a "Peanut" and each "Peanut" is a "Shuck" to someone else, The identity of the giver is not known until Christmas vacation, Many girls have bought presents for needy children and the elderly to make others Christmas a happier day. I wonder if Kathy Graham found her shoestring?

The mistake-ridden Bobcats attlecJr on even terms throughout ost of the first half before Bue,,na Vista managed a 46-40 halftime margin. Peru never caught up. Twke in the second half they came within two points of knotting the contest. With 8:40 remaining in the second half Peru had edged into a 61-63 deficit before Buena Vista hit five quick ,points to give them a more comfortable bulge. In Friday night's Peru State .win over Northwestern, the Bobcats struck early to take a 59:-39 .halftime lead. With Bob Buett.. genbach, Beatrice, leading the way, Peru slammed into the lead after only 13 seconds had been 'Played and were never headed. Taking advantage of Peru's 2:0.point halftime bulge, Coach Jack Mcintire cleared his bench during most of the second half to give his reserves valuable experience. All ten men on the tmvein tsquad hit the scoring column. At 'one point late in the second half, the Peru reserves built up a 28-point lead. Bobbcat marksmen hit on 39 of 78 field! goal attempts for their best 1961-62 perform-

'Cats Ptuck Ravens In 72-62 Fray Here LET'S BE FRANK By Frank Bostic

Peru's Bobcats have started their basketball campaign on the right foot thus far, capturing four of their first five contests, including an 84-74 victory over the alumni. The Blue and White suffered its only loss, at the hands of Buena Vista College of Storm Lake, Iowa, who issuecJr the Peruvians a questionable 90-80 defeat. The game was marred by technical fouls, in which Peru's coach was handed two. Buena Vista is expected to .be near the top in the Iowa College Conference standings at season's end. Other Peru wins include a narrow 66-58 conquest of Omaha Univers~ty, a 96-72 romp over North West Iowa, and a wild, high-scoring 103 to' 87 plastering of Tarkio's· Owls, on the losers' home court. Bob Buettgenbach and Larry Rathe have been the Bobcats leading point getters in the first five outings. Rathe had his biggest night against Buena Vista, when he gathered in 33 points. Buettgenbach's top performance equaled ,that of Rathe, his coming against Tarkio.

Buettgenbach, who counted 26, led the Bobcats to 41-26 halftime margin with 19 markers the first half. Rathe, enroute to a 25 point production, kept the Peruvians. alive during a slump rid· den second half as he hit 19 points in the final 20 minutes. St. Benedict's led only briefly before a hook shot by Buettgenbach put Peru ahead to stay with 14:06 remaining in the first half. By halftime, the talented Pe r u Staters had spurted themselves to a 15 point bulge. The second half opened with Peru main1aining their halftime margin for about five minutes before St. Benedict's found them-

NOTES FROM OTHER CAMPUSES By Harry Whitney "Courier"Concord!ia Teachers C o 11 e g e students have losrt their hearts to Sam, a honey-colored cocker spaniel who appeared on campus soon after school began. The most recent gesture of friendship was the buying of a tag- by one of the mens' organizations. So far, Sam hasn't joined any class although the frosh claim that he wore a beanie and · the seniors say he'll wear a mortar· board in June. "Wayne Stater''In the "T.G.I.F." column the columnist wrote: Teacher personality is the most influential eleme!).t in the classroom. Just like everything else there a r e good ones and bad ones. The latter you don't have to be told about ·: .. But hearing about the good ones is far more difficult ... no one wants' to be accused of hero worship. Comments are u~ ually limited to "He knows his stuff," "She's very brilliant," and the ultimate in college praise, "He's a good guy." The good teachers give us something to reach for, and that's something every student · should have.

ivision of Education mporta nt at Peru By Judy Boddye Peru's Division of Education as as its major function the preation of the best possible achers for Nebraska's elemenry and secondary schools. Dr. arrell Wininger, division head, ys "The purpose of our divion is to see that all students om this college who are preared for teacher education have n excellent professional baekround and professional experince." Readiness to teach is conitioned by a variety of factors. ne of the most important of ~hese factors is provided by the other divisions of the college in teaching the subject matter to be ught. Other important factors, uch as developing qualities of eadership, professional attitudes, accepting responsibility, and understanding human growth and development, are primarily the responsibility of the Division of Education. The teacher education programs offered are the program in elementary education, the program in secondary education, the program in educational psychology and guidance, and the program in library science. There are twenty-four siaff members in the education department. They are: Maryon Adms, Dale Anderson, Alma Ashey, Harold Boraas, Juanita Brad; Faye Brandt, Lillian Christ, ·Mary Clark, Virgil DeZwarte, B. A. Eddy, Faith Friest, T. I. Friest,. Gladys Grush, Dorothy Iversen, Harold Johnson, Lloyd Kite,. Max Langham, Charles Moecldey, W. Rankin, Frieda Rowoldt, G l en Sheely, Lyle Strom, Evan Vanzant, and Fran Wheeler. Eighty-four students are majoring in this field and all students in secondary education are minors in the division. Dr. Darrell Wininger stated that the equipment available to ·the department includes:" .. all ·types of audio-visual aids, such :as tape-recorders, record players, ::several different types of projec'.tors, and films." "In long range planning," says Dr. Wininger, "is a new Campus school building. Second, th i s year, we hope, we have eliminated all two year programs; from now on only four year certificates will be be issued. We hppe to s.et up a remedial reading and English laboratory. There will also be experimentation in the use of programmed instruction." Thirty-four different courses are offered in the Division of Education. Extra curricular a c t i v i t i e s .sponsored by this division are S.N.E.A. and Kappa Delta Pi. Editor's note: This is the first "of a series on the divisions of Pe:ru. It is hoped this series will get · us better acquainted with the 'functions of the academic diviisions of the college. All divisions will be covered by the end of the year.

Ten Night Classes Will Be Offered

Temporary Library Is Now In Use Because the old library is being renovated, Peru students will have access to a temporary library set up in the first house south of the Avenue Store. Head librarian, Mr. Max Langham says, "The library staff wishes instructors and students alike, to come in and get acquainted with the library facilities as they exist in the temporary quarters." He went on to state that, "While the temporary facilities are somewhat limited, we expect very little curtailment of normal services, because of advanced planning and prior arrangements on the part of the college library staff, the library committee, and cooperative regional library programming." As for the materials available, Mr. Langham explains that, "The instructors have systematically examined the collection and selected books and other materials which they felt were needed; these were housed in the temporary quarters, along with a good selection of references and bound periodicals." He also said, "a mimeographed list of the library's holdings has been sent to instructors for use in planning course work. Copies of the list are available in the library for consultation." "While seating capacity," says Mr. Langham, "is somewhat limited it is contemplated that much of the service will be of a circulating nature. There is adequate reading room facilities for twenty-eight to thirty people." The head librarian stated that, "Every effort is being ma¥ to provide maximum service while construction work is being done on the old library building." his travels and pictures. · Mr. Clayburn's hobbies are volleyball (they say he has a wicked serve), fishing, hiking, and a 11 outdoor activities of the scouts.

'Cats Reveal Power By Defeating Emporia By Roger Smith Nebraska College Conference champion Peru State w a 1 k e d: away with an 82-66 basketball victory over Central Intercollegiate Conference champion Kansas State Teachers of Em po r i a , Thursday, January 4, at Peru. Bob Buettgenbach, Beatrice, with 26 points, Tom Yopp, East Alton, Illinois, with 17, and Larry Rathe, Sterling, with 16, led the attack that paced the Bobcats to their 10th victory in 13 starts. In winning, Peru showed an outstanding .defensive exhibition and brightened Peru State's hopes for the NCC season. In winning the last three outings Peru has held their opponen\s to an average of 58 points. Highly touted Emporia State led only once throughout the Thursday night game. Doug Glaysher hit a free throw to give Emporia a 5-4 lead. With 17:18 remaining in the .firs-t half, Tom Yopp sank a 20 foot jump shot to

put the Bobcats ahead 6-5 and give them a lead they never gave up. The smooth working Bobcats held a 42-34 lead at halftime. With five minutes gone in the second half, Emporia State moved to within four points of Peru before free throws by Barvey and Buettgenbach, and a pair by Rathe removed the danger.

Nonames, Flintstones, Bow Wows -Lead In lntramurals The Nonamers, Flintstones, and Bow Wows remained the teams to beat in intramural basketball action after games played Tues'day night, January 9. All three sport identical 3-0 records, and are the on:ly loop teams left unbeaten. The Nonamers claimed their third win a day earlier than the other two, rolling to a hard fought 37-30 win over the Rejects. On Tuesday night, the Flintstones had too much of everything for the Untouchables, touching them with a 69-28 tag. The winners had four men in double digits, with Leonard Kinser leading the parade with 15 points. Ron Peterson, Ron Kelly, and Jim Pilkington chipped in with 14, 12, and 11, respectively. The .69 points amassed by the winners was also the highest point production by one team this season. John Greene's 11 points led the Bow Wows to their third straight league win, as they clipped the Drifters' winning skein at two, 49-35. In other league action Tuesday night, the Chaperahos notched their first win against two losses, claiming a 26-21 victory o v er Delzell Darts. The Darts' defeat was its second in as many outings. Duane Haith's 14 and Luke Cox's 10 markers led the Beepers to a rousing 54-31 romp over the Commancheros. The victory upped the Beepers' mark 2-1, while the reverse left the Com/ mancheros with a 0-3 record. Gary Hodge sparked the losers ·with 13. Marvin Cockerham, Jerry Littell, and Lonnie Pressna11 led the Shadows to a 48-27 win over the Lancers, scoring 11, 12, and 13 points, respectively.

Tom Castle and Steve Parker led the ''ictors' attack with 12 and 10 tallies each, while Wayne Gumaer was high for the losers with 13. In Tuesday's final contest, George Weiss pitched in 10 points for the Flunkies, but to no avail, as his team went down to its third loss, 32-28 at the hands of the Trotters.

'Cats Scratch Plainsmen 74-69 In Home Game Peru with a big first half, held on for dear life in the second half to win 74-69 over Nebraska Wesleyan Saturday night, ll'an. 6, in Peru in the Nebraska College Conference opener for both clubs. Playing before a standingroom-only crowd, Peru looked like champions in the first half scoring 39 points while holding Wesleyan to 22 points. Opening the second half, Wesleyan switched from its zone defense to a man-to-man defense that kept Peru's offense from rolling as it had the first half. Wesleyan, hitting from all over the floor during the second half, outscored the Bobcats by 12 points but was unable to overtake the big lead Peru had built up. A well balanced attack led by Bob Buettgenbach's 22 points, Larry Rathe's 20 points, M i k e Roach's 14 points, and Tom Yopp's 12 points, was too much for Wesleyan to handle. Wesleyan was led by Dick Nelson and Jim Munford with 15

apiece. Duane (shell-shocked) Eichorn chipped in 13 points and Chet Paul contributed 10 markers to round out the scoring attack; Peru now stands 11-3 for the season and 1-0 in·Nebraska College Conference play. Nebraska Wesleyan is 7-3 for the season and 0-1 in Nebraska College Conference play. fg PERU Rathe ------------- 8 Harvey ------------ 2 Buettgenbach ------ 8.

LET'S BE FRANK

By Frank Bostic Coach Jack Mcintire, in a recent interview, stated he has been greatly satisfied with the Bobcats' performance in compiling their 11-3 record thus far t h i s season. He feels, however, that the Blue and White could even be sporting a 13-1 mark, if the breaks had fallen a little more in the Peruvians' favor in a couple of outings. When quizzed about the fourday road trip the Bobcats embarked upon prior to the Christmas vacation, he stated he w a s very glad to come home with a split in the four-game series. However, he felt that if the Bobcats had played the same schedule in a five-day period, th e y might have recorded a 3-1 standing. "The loss to Tennessee A. & I. was pretty conclusive, despite the fact we gave them a good game," the veteran mentor contended, "but had the team had a day's rest before meeting Harris of St. Louis, they might have withstood the fast break type game thrown at them that night." He is looking ahead to the nine remaining conference games with an open mind. He feels Wayne will be a strong contender for the Nebraska College Conference crown currently held by the Bobcats. In discussing the Nebraska Wesleyan contest, which the Blue and White captured, 74-69, he said he felt the Bobcats could have won by a more decisive margin, but were playing cau-

Also included in the Bobcats string of fi;:e straight victories is a four-te~ tournament title captured at Fairfield, Iowa during the Christmas vacation. In the four team event, Peru slaughtered Lewis College of Chicago, 75-54, and then trounced hos t Parsons College 69-54 for th e title. Congratulations go to Tom Yopp, who was recently selected "Player-of-the-Week" for Nebraska Colleges by the Omaha World-Herald. He was chosenfor his tremendous play against Nebraska Wesleyan. Besides scoring 22 points against the Plainsmen, he did an outstanding job of ballhawking and leaving the Plainsmen players wondering j u s t where the "human dynamo" got all his energy. Yopp, a Wood River, Illinois product, is currently carrying a 15.4 scoring average, nearly double last season's total for the same number of games. Coach Jim Pilkington's gymnastics squad put on an excellent demonstration during the half of the Peru-Wesleyan game. An overflow crowd on hand gave the gymnasts a well-deserved reception. Pilkington also had a show planned for the Chadron contest. Much work has gone into getting these demonstrations ready as is evident by the daily 4 p.m. workouts in the college gymnasium.

Donovan with her Christmas gift of money which she could use toward the purchase of a stereo set. The fellows from the East were glad that they had left early when they heard about the snow storm. Several of the fellows around this. area didn't make it home Friday. Don Blake was turned back at the Nebraska City bridge and had to stay in Peru until Saturday morning. Dean Stapleton was involved in a wreck between Nebraska City · and Omaha. Jay DuVal didn't make it home until Christmas eve. He was taking three girls to Omaha and found he couldn't make it past Murray. He managed to make it back to Nebraska City, where the group spent a couple of nights with Glenn Irwin's family. Majors Hall was well represented in the tumbling act which was presented during halftime of the Peru-Wesleyan game. Sam Carneal, Charles Caverzagie, Ron Kelley, and Phil Knowles participated in the various well executed stunts. Arthur "Spoon" Howe has been spending his winter weekends hunting coyotes in Richardson. county. "Spoon" received a very nice high powered rifle from Santa Claus. Several of the Majors men have taken , up the difficult game of · chess. Glenn Irwin, Fred Rimmer, Sam Sudore, and pennis Hein can be seen concentrating on their next move in various Majors rooms. Because this is the last issue of the .paper for this semester, this will be my last column a b o u t ' Majors Hall. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all you, the readers, for bearing with me through the various issues. With this thought in mind, I bid you "Auf Wiedersehen."

Eight Placements For Second Semester Eight seniors graduating in January have been placed in schools surrounding the area, ac·cording to Placement Bureau records. Kay Parli will teach second grade at Seneca, Kansas; Pat Earl, third grade at Huntington School in Lincoln; Ken Humphrey, sixth grade in Auburn; Glen Beran, junior high mathematics in Falls City; Linda Bell, home economics at Table Rock; Jerry Bell, mathematics at Table Rock; Joan Riggle, physical education at Fairbury; and Jon Iverson, chemistry and general science at Missouri Valley, Iowa.

The Hastings Road Show, consisting of 15 students, made its appearance at Peru's convocation Wednesday, January 10. Herb Shaw tried to welcome the Peru students to the Gospel Hour. M. C. John Nies interrupted to introduce the four-piece combo playing "Take Five." An ex-Peruvian._ Marilyn Wright sang "Birth of~the Blues." A dramatic reading followed Marilyn. The "Tell-Tale Heart" was effectively given by Bill ·Martin. Three lasses known as the JVD's sang "To Know Him" and "Blue Moon." Another lass, Emma Byrd, gave an interpretative dance. An authority on American history, Dr. Winslow_:_alias Herb Shaw-had some very interesting quotes from famous men such as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. The Faymen, trio entertained Peruvians with "Good Morning, Captain," "Chicken," "Old King Cole," "Dr. Sigmund Freud," and "Mary Jo." The drum solo wound up the Road Show. Bill Jacobs performed with the drums while he was blindfolded and lying on his back and shoulders.

John Parli Awarded Assistantship John Parli has been awarded a research assistantship in biochemistry at the Oklahoma State University at Stillwater. The assistantship will go into effect on January 24. John is a candidate for January graduation at Peru. Although he is uncertain about his exact role, John will do som~ phase of research work in biochemistry. He will have a choice of several projects. The credits will be applicable toward his M.A. and/or Ph.D, The findings of his research wiil be used for his Master's thesis. Oklahoma State University is not a new field to Peruvians taking graduate study. Fred Regnier, a 1960 graduate of Peru State, is working there on an assistantship similar to John's. ANGELS DISCUSS DEMERITS Judy Adams called the White Angels together on January 8, 1962, in the recreation room of Eliza Morgan Hall. · A demerit system for not yelling at the games was discussed. The members are to sit together as a group at all games from now on or receive a .demerit.

sas, contained a statement on subject well worth taking an irt terest in: "Rumors flourish on college campus like alligators in the everglades, and rumors are as dangerous and as hard to track down as the alligator's big brother the crocodile."

NOTES FROM OTHER CAMPUSES By Harry Whitney Doane OwlIn looking at the var i o us Christmas activities around the other campuses, I found one dance theme which was quite interesting and unusual. T h i s theme, "Bah, Humbug!" was carried out in the return to an old fashioned C h r i s t m as and humbug to commercialization of the holiday. Wright College NewsThe paper of Wright Junior College, Chicago, carried a story concerning three inmates from Stateville Penitentiary who have been taking educational courses on a local television station and are now eligible for graduation. College officials stated that these students average higher grades and are generally more dedicated than the average student.

Wesleyans Plan Ahead Wednesday evening a weekly meeting of Wesley Fellowship was held. Programs for the next month and a half were given out. Virginia Cockerham, Steve Rankin, and Sam Rankin who attended the statewide M.S.M. meeting at Grand Island gave a report on the outcome of the meeting.

Fine Arts Division Trains Teachers In Arts arid Music e

Governor Morrison Addresses Convo By Jo Ann Frerichs "What are we going to do with what we learn? What are we going to do with nature when we learn to control it?" These are two challenging questions Governor Frank B. Morrison asked in his speech given Monday morning, January 29, at Peru State Teachers College.

'~·

Governor Morrison stated that. that we must face realistically the many questions that faoo "The amount of knowledge ~ have accumulated is ins.ilrommt compared to what is to be known." We should, ~. regard attending college as a thrilling and a challenging experience. _,'11""7--~'·

The governor said that the challenge of today is a new moral approach to social and political responsibilities. "We must learn to disagree without dis· agreeable."

•

The Governor feels that those who are apologetic about Nebraska are unfair. This state was once regarded as a desert not fit for agriculture. Now it ranks sixth in the gross value of the agricultural product. In ten years, it could be in first place. Governor Morrison feels that this would be possible by employing scientific research, by considering the world's needs, and by conserving the water supply. The basic enemies of mankind aren't rival communities and nations. "They· are the unsolved problems that we are confronted with-fear, hatred, superstition, poverty, hunger, and disease." Governor Morrison said young people are badly needed for social and political leadership. This fact was pointed out in a private interview as well as in his speech. "One of the greatest problems of people is their hesitance, their timidity, their feelings of inadequacy." We should assert ideas where leadership (thoughtful injection of one's beliefs, not dictatorship) is needed badly. Two of Governor Morrison's final statements were: "We must find out more about this world in which we live; we must seek advancement of mankind everywhere."

Tri Beta Sees Film Tri Beta met January 22, 1962 in the science hall. Two films, one on Pasteur and the other about Genetics, were shown. Plans for the next meeting were discussed.

The Fine Arts Division includes courses in art and .music education. The art courses give students an opportunity to learn methods for teaching art, to develop skills, and to cultivate an appreciation for art. The aim of the music department is to develop skills in performance and to provide the proper background for the teaching of vocal and instrumental music.

NOTES FROM MAJORS By Fred Rimmer

Greetings from the newest columnist of the newest dorm at Peru State College. I would< like to welcome the five new second semester freshmen to Majors Hall_. Bob 'Jones, Omaha; Irv Heng and Fr e d Wademan, Nebraska City, are transfers from Delzell Hall. Gordon Scott, Malvern, Iowa, transferred from Drake University. Don Schmidt, Sterling, has transferred from the University of Nebraska. Majors Hall got off to a start with a big bang this semester, as many of tlie dorm residents know! Some men, still forgetting that the girls' dorm telephone number has been changed, have been dialing wrong numbers. I am sure that they will correct the situation soon. Majors Hall is sponsoring the Sweetheart Dance, February 13, with Bobby Layne and his Orchestra. Dick Elmore is chairman of the decorations committee. Congratulations to John Biere, Ron Kelly, and Gordon Ohnoutka who were chosen as candidates for king in the Sweetheart Dance. Several of the men are hoarse from yelling at the Wesleyan basketball game. The flu and minor accidents took quite a toll after the start of the second semester. Best wishes to the men who have entered the Delzell Chess Tournament, especially D e n n i s ,Hein. ,I

John Biere will act as M. C., and Jim Christ will take care of the stage lights. Gaylin Sudik suggested that the road show be presented here during a convocation period. This performance would help Peru students to understand the exchange program.

By Sam Sadich Peru State, showing the pressure of an 11 game winning streak and a 7 (!nd 0 Nebraska College C on f ere n c e record, bowed to a fired up Wesleyan club, 87 to 80. The Bobcats, who are normally a good shooting team from the free throw line, were able to hit only 18 of 34 from the charity line. On the other hand Wesleyan hit.35 of 44 from the line. -The Bobcats outscored Wesleyan from the floor 31 to 26, but this couldn't compensate for their poor free throw shooting. Wesleyan hit· 50 percent from the field while Peru hit 44 percent of its shots taken. The Plainsmen led throughout the game except for a brief period near the end of the second half. Drexel Harvey's jump shot put Peru ahead 20 to 19 with 5:41 remaining before interrI).ission. The Bobcats broke into a 26 to 22 lead befcire Wesleyan stormed back with 8 straight points to recapture the lead'. N.W.U. held a 39 to 35 lead at the half. Peru fought back bravely in the second half, but they never came any closer than 6 points as the Plainsmen continued their blistering accuracy from the free throw line. Bob Buettgenbach led Peru's attack with 26 points, while game honors went to Wesleyan's Jim Munford who collected 28 points. The loss left Peru at the head of the N.C.C. with a 7 and 1 record. Wesleyan retained second with a 5 and 1 record. B o th team's only losses in conference play have been suffered at the haI¥fs of each other, as Wesleyan avenged an earlier 74 to 69 loss to the Bobcats. fg PERU (80) Harvey ---------- 6 Rathe ----------- 4 Buettgenbach ____ 10 Yopp

This number is very flexible, however, as students continue to change· their fields of concentration.

One complication at present is the lack of space in the s m a 11 campus school gymnasium." The physical education department is well equipped to offer all athletic training.

John Kolisch Explains Hypnosis at Convo Campus School Diary John Kalisch, internationally known hypnotist, presented the convocation program Wednesday, February 7, in the College Auditorium. Mr. Kolisch, native of Vienna, has devoted his adult life to demonstrating and lecturing on the ancient art of submitting the conscious to the subconscious. First becoming interested in hypnotism while a psychology student at a university in Vienna, Mr. Kolisch later trained himself to be a master of the art. While lecturing and demonstrating the art, his goal is to dispel the fears and superstition that often surround it. He is recognized in medical circles as an expert and maintains an office in New York City where he teaches medical doctors the techniques of hypnosis and receives patients referred by doctors. Mr. Kolisch said that we are often in an hypnotic state without realizing it. Watching television can put us in a trance, impulse shopping is a form of hypnosis, and even falling in love may be described as hy;pnotic. Hypnotism has become i:l great aid in surgery. Dental extractions become much less painful through the use of hypnotism. Experiments in the field of sleep education are showing remarkable results. One-half an hour of hypnotic sleep is equivalent to eight hours of regular sleep. Mr. Kolisch demonstrated mass hypnotism on the entire audience at convocation, and he succeeded in hypnotizing nine students on the stage.

DO'S AND DID'S OF DELZELL

NOTES FROM MAJORS By Fred Rimmer

By Allen Nelson Delzell Hall is buzzing w i t h plans of finance and transportation concerning the trip to Kansas City for the basketball tournament. The C.C.C.T. (Clean Cut. Citizens of Tomorrow) are splitting up the treas>ury among t he members so that the club will be well represented in K. C. We were very sorry to hear of Dick Harr's accident in tumbling dass. It seems as though Dick broke two ribs; however Dick is recovering nicely and plans to be back in school soon. Mrs. Paradise reports that Delzell Hall will soon receive a new clothes dryer. In addition, th e washer is about to receive an overhaul. This is good news to most dorm residents. The men of Delzell would like to wish the best of luck to those who are leaving the dorm to do their student teaching. Last weekend we had a guest in Delzell; he was Dr. Thiezen. Dr. Thiezen was examining the · college for accreditation.

Spanish Class Entertains Foreign Language Club The Foreign Language Club met Monday, February 26 in the Music Hall. The meeting was opened with the singing of the theme song "Gaudeamus Igitur" (Let Us Be Merry). The election of a new secretary to fill the va·cancy left by Kathy Banks was undertaken. The new secretary is Mary Ann Graham. Linda O'Hara was selected as the candidate for nomination to S.G.A. The Spanish class was in charge of the program. They entertained the rest of the c 1u b with Spanish songs. Elizabeth Clevenger presented the topic "Christmas In Mexico." Rosalie Terry spoke on "Spanish Customs."

Pep Band Lends Support Twenty members of the college band formed a pep band to lend support to the Bobcat ba.sketball team in their NAIA playoff game ·against Wayne at Fremont, Saturday, March 3. Mr. Wilson, director, and members Don Johnson, Gary Dahmke, Gaylin Sudik, and Russ Workman supplied transportation for the trip.

Several Majors men ha v e sjgned teaching contracts for next fall. Ray Hunzeker, J oh n Biere, Clinton Bletsclier, and Jack Stettenbenz, have all signed to teach at Huntington Beach, California. If you want to know why they are going to teach in California, just look outside. Dick Elmore was elected vice'president of Student Christian Fellowship for the coming year. John Moore was elected to the Student Governing Association as freshman representative. The freshman vote was almost unanimous for John. The following men were honored at convo for having a high grade point average: Glenn Irwin, John Moore, Ray Hunzeker, and Jack Stettenbenz. Evidently, Mike D on o van started to worry about the safety of his car, which had sunk in the ground up to the frame. The next time the ground thawed, he might not have had a car, so he had a tow truck lift it out. Majors Hall was well represented at the district playoff at Fremont. Most of the men a r e planning on attending the N.A.I.A. National Tournament that is to be held in Kansas City. Majors Han has unanimously elected its new poet laureate, Tom Aitken. Tom, noted (or notorious?) for his famous Christmas poems, writes a great deal of poetry for a buddy attending/ another school. Some of the . poems they trade are way out! Majors' biggest man, Dennis Hein, won the Delzell Chess Tournament with ease.

Chorus Prepares For Concert Tour The Peruvian Singers and the College Chorus, under the direction of Edward G. Camealy, are rehearsing for two up-coming concerts. The first choral concert will be presented Wednesday, April 25, during the convocation period. On Tuesday, May 8, at 8 p.m., the two choirs will present the annual spring concert in the Peru State College Auditorium. In addition to these performances, the Peruvian Singers are rehearsing for the choir tour. On April 4 the group will perform at Auburn at 11 a.m. and at Johnson at' 1:30 p.m.

With its construction, and the employment of additional staff, greater opportunity has been offered the people of ?i'ebraska and students of the college to obtain an extonsi1:e educational and training program in the industrial arts. The new shop building is the end result of several years of hopeful planning, sketching, and anticipation. A. V.

GOOD WORK, BOBCATS Congratulations to the 1961-62 Peru State basketball team and their coach, Jack Mcintire, for their fine representation of our school this year. It has been a great season and I am sure that everyone is proud of Peru's 25-5 season record. The season has brought a good deal of recognition to our school. Some of the highlights of the season are: finishing first in the Christmas tournament, repeating as NCC champions again with an 11-1 record, winning the district 11 NAIA playoffs by defeating Wayne State for the third time this season, and then closing the season by making a fine showing at Kansas City in the national tournament. Peru has been a fine team. They have shown a good balance, and are a well coached and effective unit. Bob Buettgenbach has been the big scorer for the 'Cats this year and his great play has aided Peru in many a victory this season. Larry Rathe, the 'Cats' second leading scorer, has been equally valuable with his fine and consistent offensive play all season, plus his rebounding help. Drexel Harvey is probably the most under-rated of the Bobcats. He received the hardest defensive assignment game after game and did an outstanding job. He was also a good rebounder, and showed his fine ability to score many times throughout the season.' Mike Roach was part of what many thought to be the finest guard combination in the NCC. Mike's play making and defensive tactics were vital to the Peru unit. He is also a good shooter as he scored in double figures most of the time throughout the season. Tom Yopp composed the other half of the guard twosome. Tom is also a fine shooter, but he is best known for his great passing and defensive work. These students were the first five for the Bobcats and they all did a good job. Peru's reserves must be given credit, many times key play was received when needed during the season.

LET'S SUPPORT DRAMA TOO The Peru basketball team should be commended for their performance in Kansas City. And although many Peruvians had to stretch their budgets to make the trip, they were there in large numbers to support the team and cheer them on to victory. On March 27, there will be another performance that will need your support. The Peru Dramatics Club will present the annual Spring Play, "Between Two Thieves." There wiU be no charge because the play is a budget event. Just as a basketball team gains enthusiasm from the crowd, a play cast is more enthusiastic with a good audience. Let's support the cast with the same zeal that the basketball team merited. -MELISSA FULKERSON

SPRING When the heavy winter snows begin to melt and the sun shines. bright-Spring is here ! ! The sound of geese returning north is a welcome sound, bermudas begin to be an every day occurrence, convertibles appear, and it becomes difficult to keep one's mind on studies. The Spring air and sunshine are most inviting; a good trip to the river, a hike through the hills, softball, baseball, la crosse-a PICNIC! The time for dating, going steady, engagements (Only I think we've already had our allotment of engagements.) has arrived again. The heavy cloud of glum lifts and smiling, happy faces dream of summer jobs, the end of school, summer fun, the end of school-just nine more weeks to the end of school. But don't rush the season. Some nippy days may redden those uncovered knees, some time spent in daydreaming may lower a grade, or some ride to the river may cost $7.50 to be towed out of the mud. -LOIS FRITZ

tertain them after the Bobcat win. During Monday's afternoon session, Coach Jack Mcintire received telegrams wishing him and the Bobcats good luck. Cheerleaders at the tournament were scarce, as only eight of the 32 teams present had cheerleading squads representing t h e ir school. William Jewell, Mo., had the most, with eight, while Peru had the mDst boys, itwo. William Jewell had one, and the other six had no male cheerers. First notice of Peru's presence came in the lobby of the coliseum around 5 p.m. Monday evening, while waiting for the doors to open for the evening session. HunCLreds of students went through a couple of yells, and the school color song, to the amusement and delight of the fans on hand. Later, ins·ide the building, the Peruvians exercised their vocal chords with the cheerleaders, in what was probably the greatest amount of noise made in the coliseum all day. The only possible ri\'al to Peru's volume was a large group of students fr a. m Ashland College, who migrated 300 strong to Kansas City by cars, trains, and busses. A gesture of spo11tsmanship came from this group late in the Peru-Mayville game, when they went through a yell, spelling Peru, anCL cheering for the Bobcats. Wednesday afternoon Peru again w-0n the hearts of the fans, with their loyal backing and cheering. Wednesday's crowd, estimated at more than 4,00.0 people, was the largest day crowd in the history of the event, and included approximately 500 Bobcat rooters. Also rooting for Peru Wednesday were 32 townsmen from Auburn, Nebr., who chartered a bus to the CDntest.

Division of Language Arts Offers Broad Program at Peru State (Continued from page one) books that constitute the literary heritage of mankind, to discover and foster the development of individual literary skills and talents, and to provide special direction and instruction for students who are plan_ning to earn a living in occupations in which literary know ledge and skill will be especially helpful. The speech education program is set up to help a person learn to express his thoughts and feelings, to communicate his ideas, and to adjust to other people. Attention is given to the defective, the adequate, and the skilled. All phases of speech are covered. The modern language program is designed to give the student a greater interest in the people who µse different languages. Although a foreign language is not required for, a degree in education, all students who anticipate advanced professional and graduate study need to consider a language. The staff is composed of: R. D. Moore, head of the division and professor of speech; J. D. Levitt, associate professor of speech; Stewart Linscheid, associate professor of English; Richard Holmes, assistant professor of English; Silas Summers, assistant professor of English; and Dr. Michel Weiss, associate professor of modern languages. At the present time, the English field is a very good one for prospective teachers to consider. /Last year, there were 683 requests for straight English teachers, from inside and outside the state. Five of these were filled by Peru graduates. At present, there are only 32 English majors and minors enrolled: in Peru, 19 speech majors and minors, and eight modern language majors and minors. The Division of Language Arts at the present has an adequate amount of equipment. There is an opaque projector for use in studying themes in class. Several record players are on hand for playing poetry in the language and literature department, and for playing records in other languages for the modern language department. Three tape recorders allow the speech students to study their own speech assets and defects. In addition, the modern language department has slides of the countries studied, maps, and a disc recorder for record~ ing records in a foreign language. Each teacher has a large private library to supplement his classroom work. If enrollment gains · are sufficient at Peru State, a journalism

Elmore Designs State Seal Richard Elmore, a Nebraska City sophomore at Peru State Teachers College, designed the winning seal for the Student Educational Association of Nebraska. Ten Nebraska colleges and universities were asked to contrib· ute designs for the state seal during the. annual fall NSEA convention held here December 2. Elmore's seal was chosen by a selected art judge from the University of Nebraska at the spring convention of the NSEA held on the Wesleyan Campus March 24. The design was chosen as the best artistically and meaningfully. His winning des,ign consists of two equilateral triangles. A green inverted triangle, the national emblem, rests upon the white upright triangle, the state emblem. Within the outline of the state of Nebraska in the upper half of the triangle representing the state organization, the word "student" appears conveying the idea that Nebraska-educated students should teach in Nebraska. Below this, the letters E A N represent the Educational Association of Nebraska, the parent organization of the SEAN.

HEY, ELIZA! By Lynn Mccann

Gunnar Spencer in "The Light Fantastic"

Ballet Group Pleases With The Light Touch By Jerry Gress' The convocation on April 5 will long be remembered by the audience at Peru as one of the most delightful performances presented here. Myra Kinch and company danced their way to a successful dance revue in "The Light Fantastic." Accompanying her were Gunnar Spencer, her dancing partner; Shirley J ens en and Frank Cataldo, with Manuel Galea at the piano. The first dance on the program was "A Waltz is a Waltz is a Waltz," in which a bracelet was sought after constantly, for no reason at all. The second dance, "Beautiful Dreamer," was a tribute to America's beloved troubadour, Stephen Foster. "To Unfurl The Fan" was the title of the

third dance. It was an eighteenth century discourse on manners, during which interruptions were made by an uncouth servant. Saving the best for last, the troop did "Giselle's Revenge." Miss Kinch danced the part of the broken hearted Giselle, who took revenge on her deceiving ~over. Expertly done by Miss Kinch, "Giselle's Revenge" was truly a most delightful bit of ghoulishness. Myra Kinch and company arrived at Peru after having played to various concert audiences on the east coast. They were scheduled through Pryor-Menz Incorporated of Council Bluffs, Iowa. Their immediate plans are to make a concert tour of the Northwest United States and Canada via plane. DEAN MELVIN ATTENDED . NORTH CENTRAL MEETING

The first person to start spring cleaning was Steve Hillmer; now that the mud is out of the room he can s·ee the floor again. Dick Elmore, Majors' artist, designed a seal for the SEAN convention. Dick's seal was judged as the best artistically and meaningfully and will be the state's SEAN seal. Good work! Pat Cooper, an ex-resident of Majors, and Ray Hunzeker came back driving "T" Birds. They .are student teaching at Beatrice. It

Dean of the College, Dr. Keith L. Melvin, attended a meeting of the North Central Association held in Chicago, Illinois, March 26-28.

This is clean up week! Our beloved dorm president, better know as Carol Burn<~tt; requests that we all pikh in and make old Eliza Morgan &potless and beautiful once again. We have lots of plans for cleaning and rearranging the furniture in the recreation room, painting and fixing the screens, scrubbing the laundry room, and various o t h e r household chores. So let's all pitch in and help on our campaign for clean up, fix up week! Second floorers gave a surprise going away pa,rty for Pat Rathe and Jeanne Shuttlesworth while the basement apartment had a pizza party for Julie Mayer. · This weekend there were beatniks loqse in the dorm! Third floor was the hang-out of Liz Clevenger, Bonnie Collins, and Mary Ann Cooper while they listened to jazz records. The girls felt that to give realism to the atmosphere, they should dress the part, and did they! They we re complete with black leotards, black sweaters, and wild sun glasses! Winnie Sporer was given a shower by the west wing for being elected vice-president of the S.G.A. What price glory! Ellen Hunzeker and Patsy Melcher have found a cockroach in their room! Quiet girls, now everybody will want one! Margaret Beard celebrated her 21st birthday the first of April. Nebraska City Coca-Cola Botiling Co. DO'S AND DID'S OF DELZELL By Allen Nelson

It's spring fever time! Big plans are in the making for Easter vacation. Millard Hamel is going to Santa Monica, California. Joseph "Coach" Smith is planning a trip to Oklahoma City to see a friend. (Who is she Joe?) Dick Brown is going to Minot, North Dakota, to see friends and relatives. Mrs. Paradise is driving to Missouri to see some friends. Congratulations! ! Charles Aylor is getting married April 20. Best wishes and the best of luck in the future, Charles. Monday, April 9, saw chocolate frosting on the faces of everyone in Delzell. The White Angels held a bake sale in the lobby of the dorm. Everybody enjoyed the cookies, cakes, and brownies and hopes the White Angels return soon. Speaking of food, the second annual Spring Supper will be held April 15. The menu consists of those all-time favorites hot dogs, potato chips, punch, and ice cream sandwiches. I'm sure the supper will be welcomed by everyone, especially those w h o stay down on weekends. We are sorry to hear of Jim Kanter's injury. Jim pulled a muscle in his arm while working out in track. We wish Jim a speedy recovery. The latest fad in Delzell is practical jokes. It s e ems as though one evening was spent down by the river trying to find Yuk-Yuks and Snipes. The thing that is strange about this is that certain fellows found some. The final story is that Howie Boyer is trying to hatch some porcupine eggs. Nobody has the heart to tell him that they are just cockle-burrs.

Campus School Diary By Mary Anna Gnade Now that the glamour of royalty at various dances has receded and the quota of class-sponsored evening dances all used up at the high sehool, the only thing left is dancing at noon! Yup, even though time is limited and the great outdoor springtime calls, there's always the energetic crowd to twist! We could always count on the GERM to keep students out of school-right now it's pink eye. And if you don't think that's annoying-ex.cept for "unsticking" the eyes in the morning, perfectly healthy young'uns staying at home, and for longer than the old GERM kept them. Seems to deplete the ranks' of the elementary grades more than the high school. Prep representative, Joy Dovel, came out 7th of the 32 entered in the Nemaha County spelling contest. Nothing to be ashamed 01' there! Rehearsal of the May Pole dance has begun with Mrs. Wheeler's 5th, 6th and 7th grade girls. Annual question: White dresses with colored sashes, or pastel dresses? Of course, th e girls favor whichever was NOT worn last year. Thus starts the countdown to-

ward the last day of school-or hadn't you noticed! the t i m e grows short! N. U. PROFESSOR SPEAKS Dr. Theodore Jorgenson, Jr., of University of Nebraska department of physics gave a lecture on . "Origin of the Elements" to Peru science classes on April 3.

George DeVore Retiring After Forty-one Years at Peru Mr. George R. DeVore, dean of custodians, is retiring September 1 after 41 years of service to this college. Mr. DeVore came to Peru from a farm near Shubert, May 3, 1921. His first job was with the h1"ating plant. After three years, he became a janitor. When asked how he kept the gym so clean, he commented, "Just roll up your sleeves and go to work." George said that Peru is a fine place in which to work and educate chiidren. He plan's to take a vacation m California, then come back to this area and ~ettle down. "Contact with the students has been enioyable," said George. "Former students come back and reminisce." George has m any good friends scattered around the United States. George recalls a period in World War II when Peru had only ninety girls and four boys enrolled m school. Fortunately, there was also a V12 program.

By Tom Aitken The Division of Science and Mathematics aims to provide for the needs of students in teacher p r e p a r a t ion, pre-professional areas, and general education. In each of these, mathematics and science are regarded both as an organized body of knowledge and as a method of investigation. Open-mindedness and a genuine appreciation of our environment are encouraged. The relation of these subjects to current affairs, the dependence of modern society upon the sciences, the research features of industry, medicine and government, as well as vocational opportunities in the various fields are included in the program. Five tea~hers are involved with the science department. Dr. John Christ, head of the Division of Science and Mathematics, is a professor of biology. Albert 0. Brady, a$iStant professor of biological science, also teaches elementary science and helps out in the mathematics and methods classes. L. Chris Buethe teaches physics and some mathematics courses. Assistant professor Lyle McKercher teaches mathematics. Hanford Miller is the associate professor of chemistry. Professor A. B. Clayburn, who plans to retire in 1962, teaches several courses in earth sciences.

It might be pointed out th.at within the science and! mathematics department we find the first three "teachers of theyear" to be elected by the S t u d e n t Education Association on the basis of their professional conduct. The first teacher elected was Mr. Brady, the second Dr. Christ, and the third L. B. Mathews, now retired. The field of biology contairts the greatest number of majors. Mathematics comes next and is followed by general science, physical science, physics, a n d chemistry in that order. The science department has very good equipment. In the future, the science department hopes to enlarge its staff because of the large classes in some areas. As soon as· th e state legisiature appropriates enough money, the department plans to hire another teacher to herp out in mathematics and physical science. It is hoped that more advanced classes in physics (Continued on page two)

The S c i e n c e Building should be remodeled in several places and there should be more laboratory space. New rooms would include an organic lab, a bacteriology lab, a darkroom for physics, and a museum. A new green-house with better heat control is also needed. The science department has under its auspices two organizations, with a third one anticipated. Alpha Mu Omega is the mathematics honorary, Beta Beta Beta the biology honorary. A physical science club is in its developing stages. It is interesting to note that in the last four years, "since Sputnik," enrollments have doubled in the mathematics and physical science classes.
